...I haven't shelved in 9 months? THIS WILL NOT STAND. I'm going to shelve WarriorMan, and bring in a new Navi, because clearly I don't have enough of those.
WarriorMan - 90/100 HP - 3870
zAnd now, introducing my latest pair...Leilani and Rose!
OperatorName: Leilani Ka'ana'ana
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: Leilani stands at about 5'7", with black hair and brown eyes. She wears a red hoodie (which she has recently sewn a large patch of her new Navi's emblem onto the back), along with a light blue mini-skirt, black tights, and pink sneakers. She usually keeps her hood up, but spilling out are her single braid on the left side, which extends to the bottom of her breast, and a pink hibiscus flower on the right, though a close look would reveal that it's actually fake.
Personality: Generally, Leilani is a kind person...so long as she doesn't have to give up material goods. She's very hesitant to surrender her possessions without getting something in return, perhaps a nod to her upbringing. She's quite upbeat, and talking history will almost always snap her out a funk.
PET Modifications: A standard red Link PET with pink trim.
NetNaviName: Rose.EXE
Gender: Female
Element: Wood
Subtype: Guts
Passive Subtype Ability: Resilient
Active Subtype Ability: Intimidation
Appearance: Rose stands at 5'6", but thanks to a certain 'accessory', this is nearly impossible to normally ascertain. Her attire is quite simple: a dark green Navisuit that covers everything from the neck down, green leaf-like gloves and boots, and a green headband with earflaps. On these earflaps are her emblem, a flower in bloom. To keep from being too monochromatic, she has strawberry blond hair, but her green eyes are what you'd expect from a plant based Navi.
But perhaps more noteworthy than the girl, is the red rose-like flower she usually stands within. This flower is large enough for her to comfortably hide in if it's closed, and normally the area from the knee down is obscured by its inner petals. If she left it and one peered in, one would see various tendrils flailing about, serving non-obvious purpose. The flower is capable of uprooting itself and walking around, but moves very slowly. Strangely, though it didn't originate with the Navi, it is completely subservient to Rose, who can freely command it with a mere thought.
Personality: Rose is, at her core, actually a very kind and sweet Navi. She highly values friends, knowing what it's like to live without them. Yet, in a cruel irony, she tries to avoid getting too close, lest they know the truth behind her...
Custom Weapon: The flower Rose stands in can freely extend its vines to strike a foe, or shoot thorns at distant enemies.
Signature Attacks:
Petal Storm
- Rose causes some of the petals from her flower to scatter and slice up a foe. Afterward, they circle her as protection. Since they're flower petals, they're still susectible to being burned. In order to use this move, the flower has to plant its roots down, making it even harder than usual for it to move mid-battle.
= 10 Wood x 3 hits, then 30 HP Wood elemental Barrier; Self-Slow
+ Shot type
- 40 points (+20 nerf) (2 TCD)
Leech Thorn
- Rose launches a vine tipped with a special thorn to stab an enemy. If it hits, it absorbs some of the enemy's life force.
= 20 Wood + Life Drain
+ Melee type
- 40 points (1 TCD)
History: Rose was created as the Navi mascot for a botanical garden in Netopia. She loved her work, and loved giving people tours of the flowers. But over time, the garden began to lose money, and was shut down. As she had no operator, Rose simply remained in the garden's cyberworld, keeping it as close to pristine as possible. In an inevitability, however, viruses soon invaded, which the Navi was entirely ill-equipped to fight off. And yet, after a battle that lasted several months, she did, purging the page of all that would feast off of it. But, it had cost her every last bit of strength. Laying on a particularly large nearby flower, she could do little else but await her imminent deletion...
But her deletion did not come. As a result of the viruses' influence during their stay, the flower she had chosen for her final resting place had severely mutated. It now hungered for life energy, and a Navi was a good source of that. And yet, when it sucked the life from her, Rose could feel herself growing stronger...how was that even possible? Confused, she hopped off, and went off in search of answers.
A couple of hours later, she found herself crawling back, barely enough strength to climb back onto the flower. A few minutes partially inside of it, and she found herself good as new. Stealing her life energy was giving her strength? The only answer she could think of was that she was essentially in an undead state, not truly alive anymore, yet certainly not dead.
Over time, Rose began to develop some degree of power over her simultaneous lifegiver and captor, eventually reaching the point where she could use its roots and vines as surrogate limbs. And just in time, as viruses invaded her home once more...and while not unscathed, with her flower's help, things went quite a bit more smoothly this second time. But as she looked down, she noticed a bit of blood within a tear on the arm of her Navi suit. There was no wound there, so apparently it had come from one of the viruses. With some morbid curiosity, she raised her arm, and licked it...and was immediately overwhelmed with vigor. Even the taste was amazing to her. So, somehow, the flower had turned her into some sort of vampiric being. But how? And why? Or was there even a reason? It made no sense. She wanted answers...and as much as she hated to admit it, the best place to get them was Electopia's SciLab. Saying goodbye to the only home she'd ever known, she set off, hoping to find a sympathetic scientific ear.
On her way, she found a Navi investigating the ruins of an old dam network in Yoka Area. Or at least, was investigating, as she encountered it just in time to see it get trapped, and subsequently deleted. As she heard the sobbing through the unbroken connection, she knew in her heart what to do; loss and loneliness defined the majority of her existence, but it didn't have to define the operator that just lost their Navi. She offered to become the operator's new Navi, an offer that was accepted after a moment of thought. Her new operator turned out to be a young woman named Leilani Ka'ana'ana, The two became friends, and became close enough that Rose came clean about who she was...but her new operator didn't seem to care.
As it turned out, Leilani wasn't without tragedy in her life, either. Born on Jawaii Island, her mother died when she was 2, and her father died three later. He had, however, recently married an Electopian woman, who luckily proved to be a caring stepmother. At that point, her life stabilized, and she lived with her stepmother and younger half-sister. But there was a new problem, in that her new stepmother fell prey to get rich quick schemes pretty often. It never got totally out of hand, but the family had little beyond the essentials.
Wanting to help, the young girl would often wander off, hoping to uncover some buried treasure. While she never found anything of major worth, she did stumble across a pot, which turned out to be several hundred years old. This would trigger a fascination with archaeology that would last her entire life. She proved to have a knack for it as well, as every so often she would return home with findings to research.
Approximately three years before the present day, her stepmother attempted yet another get rich quick scheme...but this one proved different. At first, it drove her into debt like the others...but then it began to pay dividends. And more dividends. And even more dividends. And just like that, there was money to spend. The mother was happy, but had plans for some of that money. They had always lived on Jawaii Island, but her daughter was half-Electopian and had never seen that land, and Leilani and her talents could benefit from a place with centuries upon centuries of history. And so, they moved to her own hometown of DenCity, where Leilani continued to follow her passions. But, with Electopia's more advanced network, she began to become interested in cyberarcheology; hunting down old locales in the net, and glean knowledge from them.
And now, with a new Navi in hand, she was ready to dive back into it.
