Yajna.SP

Name: Yajna.SP

Gender: Female

Element: Fire

Subtype: Variable

Appearance: Yajna is roughly the same height as Exorcist, sometimes seeming a little taller because she stands very straight, with tan brown skin, a bit lighter than Bhikkhuni's, and very even features, including a sharp nose and tight, inexpressive lips. Her hair is black and naturally straight, often rolled into a series of seven spheres behind her head, with five forming a sort of flower around the larger bun of the seventh. Her eyes are a bright orange color, but typically, her eyes are held in a very solemn half shade, staring forward. She has a tendency to wear an expression that could generously be called neutral, or perhaps, more accurately, boring, unless in the presence of fire. At that time, her eyes go wide, reflecting the fire, and she often wears an eerie smile. Yajna's body is slender but not terribly shapely, typically avoiding drawing much attention.

Her garb is elaborate, consisting from top to bottom of a helmet, an outfit based on traditional Hindu prayer garb, gloves, and boots, along with jewelry. The helmet is golden, covering the upper half of the head over the ears like a cap, with a lamp shaped like a lotus flower on the top center. A candle is lit inside and forms a short plume of fire above her head; it is almost perpetually in a lit state and she seems perturbed if it ever goes out. A red ruby dangles from the front center of her helmet, at the peek between her brows. Her gold earguards bear her emblem, a lit flame over a lotus shaped lamp, and adorn a red skinsuit, which runs from her jaw down to her neck and the rest of her body. A gold necklace bears another copy of her emblem, resting above a red robe, which covers one shoulder. Another orange, thinner robe can be seen covering the other shoulder, though the majority of it is hidden. A thin gold belt ties the waist. Her gloves and boots are also gold, adorned with small red rubies at the elbows and knees.

Armaments she can summon include an aarti lamp, gold, and shaped like a hand-held chalice with a long, C-shaped handle extending from one side. At times, she will also summon a small, handheld bell, which she rings dutifully, but without the same fervor that she wields the lamp.

Personality: Yajna is characterized by distinctly even temperament, to the point where she might be called boring. The truth is that she finds it hard to feel emotions of any kind and thereby doesn't often react. The one exception is regarding fire: the sight of fire excites her. She feels compelled to spread and nurture flames wherever she sees them. Many of her religious rituals involved flames, but it could certainly be said that she values the ritual more than the purpose. She has many thoughts on fire that she will happily share, but seems very lacking in opinions otherwise.

Background: Whereas Bhikkhuni and Mary were each sent on journeys of enlightenment by their peers in their religions, Yajna left her temple by her own choosing. Yajna had long been a devout follower of Hinduism, practicing their mantras and rituals, but found her spirit lacking. Realizing she was simply going through the motions, she left on her own quest of self-discovery, searching for a religion that truly spoke to her.

Eventually, she came upon Burt's discipline of Counterinfectualism, by which viruses are destroyed in order to eliminate the evil spirits trapped within their vessels. Here, she found a religion that seemed accommodating to her unique passion for burning things. In her way of framing things, she sees the "evil spirits" as invasive Ashura... but even now, she still feels a certain crisis of faith even now. All she knows is she takes a continued, guilty pleasure from burning things, be that incense or viruses.

Custom Weapon: Yajna uses her aarti lamp as a weapon, raising it in one or two hands and blowing flames off the lip. The flames project in an exaggerated arc.
Not going to make any sig attacks for... Oh who am I kidding, approved.
With proper foresight I would have used these bugfrags at the same time I regged this navi! But I'm using them now. I'll reg my sigs later all in one lump since I gotta fix the passive stuff.

I'm starting with 384 bugfrags and buying:
Hit Point+ V1 for Bhikkhuni (-10)
Chip Preset for Mary (-100)
Hit Point+ V6 for Mary (-60)
Chip Preset for Yajna (-100)
Hit Point+ V1 for Yajna (-10)
Damage+ V1 for Yajna (-10)
Damage+ V2 for Yajna (-20)
Damage+ V3 for Yajna (-30)
Damage+ V4 for Yajna (-40)
384-380 = 4 bugfrags remaining

After this, Bhikkhuni will be level 7, Mary will be level 9, Yajna will be level 8. Exorcist will become level 14.
Everything looks good, approved.
