Character Sheet
The Characters
The Rival (It's you!)
When you first discovered your magic, you fled your village, believing it to be a curse that would draw the monsters in the dark down on your home. Travelling alone and with what supplies you could, you almost made it to the city before you were set upon by shadows. They were small ones, and you almost managed to fight them off, but the last ones managed a lucky blow that nearly slew you, until your mentor arrived and took you in.

COMBAT GUIDE

When in combat, all of the options offered will be based on your character traits. Choosing the right traits to trump your opponent's traits is crucial to gaining the advantage, but remember, the goal isn't always to win. Some fights will make a loss more dramatically appropriate as an option, and sometime other things will happen that need to be dealt with differently.

Write-Ins are a special case in combat however, as while they can be used to provide alternate moves based on your current traits, they can also be used to create entirely new traits on the fly in order to get yourself out of a bind. However, creating whole new character traits mid fight -while a time-honored anime character tradition- is something that strains the audience' tolerance of your character, and so Write ins that do not play to your traits will cost you 'Tolerance', listed above.

Being that your character has only just been introduced, you have a decent amount of tolerance to start with as your abilities are not fully understood, especially since you went to the trouble of obfuscating them to the Heroine in your very first appearance.
