A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Elizabeth
Canon: Persona 3FES/ Persona 4 Arena
Age: Not applicable, looks to be in late teens
Timeline: After P4Arena
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Not applicable

Personality: Elizabeth is somewhat alien. She doesn't exactly understand how humanity works and while she knows what things ARE she frequently mistakes how they actually work. Usually things that fascinate her are imagined in the most sinister way possible, given how she viewed an escalator as a punishment and an open sewer grate to be a trap. Things she does understand generally are spiritual or mythological and she tends to go overboard with them, even going so far as to giving a million yen to a fountain just to gain the favor of the "spirit" that lived in it.

Elizabeth's biggest issue is she just is beginning to understand how humanity succeeds by coming together. She has MADE the realization but still sometimes defaults to her "Let me handle this!" approach to the world. This is frequently why she meddles in things she's not really wanted in and causes problems as SHE will be the one to fix it! She doesn't know how, but she has lots of heart, and not a whole lot of planning and that will save the world! Or at least it will be more interesting than actually trying to figure things out. She did finally come to the understanding that it is the bonds humanity forms with each other which is its greatest strength and ultimately unlocked her wild card ability, but old habits die hard.

While she frequently CAN be aloof about things, if something pings her interest Elizabeth will go in with all her heart and enthusiasm, even if not really wanted there. ESPECIALLY if not wanted there. She crashed a competition to dub the manliest of all men, even though she was a woman, just because it seemed exciting to do so. Her desire to save Minato led her to leave her position in the velvet room and go on a quest to kill Erebus, a monster given life by humanity's desire for self destruction, and she was able to focus her power enough to kill it twice within seconds of its resurrection.

Liz doesn't exactly have the highest regard for life, when she was asking for subdual quests she wanted proof of the kills, body parts, when she asked for something to die. While she also asked for curious items from the world outside those were much rarer. When angered Elizabeth's first response is violence, and if she can't solve a problem with violence obviously she isn't using enough of it. Her first attempt at finding herself was to initiate a duel with Minato.

Despite all of this Elizabeth is very devoted. When she was exploring the outside world she knew that doing what she wanted and staying with Minato would lead to him loosing access to her aide in the Velvet Room. When she was Aigis' attendant she did everything she could do to keep Aigis from giving up and falling to her mechanical loss of heart. When those duties were done she stood guard and killed the monster that threatened the soul of Minato twice before setting off to find her own way of killing the monster without killing all of humanity.

Background: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth

Abilities:
Wild Card - Elizabeth has won the power to change persona, each one with specific powers. This also gives Elizabeth the power to form social links (even if they are useless without the velvet room she REALLY wants to form them). Each persona has different power and only the power of the persona that is active will work. Persona come from the soul of the user and are not actual summons themselves. The Persona will be listed below. Note: Hama and Mudo spells generally are instakill spells, given the power drain and what not I'm setting them to mook only, not named foes or targets with known faces.

Thanatos - Reflects Dark magic, weak against light magic, Megidola (Heavy Almighty/non elemental) damage, Tempest Slash (Powerful slash attack), Evil Smile (chance of scaring opponents), Ghastly Wail (Causes those afraid to die of fight), Virus Breath (Poison attack)

Surt - Absorbs Fire, Weak against Ice, Agidyne (Big single target fireball), Deathbound (Large Slash), Fire Bost (Makes Fire magic stronger), Maragidyne (Large multi target fireball), Ragnarok (Really REALLY big single target fireball), Fire Amp (Makes Fire magic even stronger)

Jack Frost - Blocks Ice, Weak against Fire, Bufu (small ice damage to one target), Pulinpa (Chance at confusing one target), Re Patra (Recovers from being knocked over), Sonic Punch (Punches a target), Ice Boost (Ice magic does more damage), Mabufu (light ice damage to multiple targets)

Thor - Absorbs Electricity, resistant to physical damage, weak against wind, Ziodine (Big single target lighting attack), Viscious strike (Heavy Strike damage), High Counter (Allows Elizabeth to counter attacks when not knocked over), Gigantic Fist (Big crazy persona punch), Electric Amp (Deals more Electric damage)

Cu Chulain - Resists Electricity and Physical, Weak against Dark, Torrent shot (3 poke attacks on one target), Matarukaja (Improves Attack for a bit for allies), Mazionga (Mid strength multi target electric attack), Power Charge (Next Physical attack hits 2.5 times harder), Survive Dark (chance of surviving instakill dark magic badly beaten up), Vile Assault (Big stabby attack, hurts knocked over opponents more)

Metatron - Resists Physical, Ice, Fire and Electricity; Reflects Light; Weak against Dark; Mahamaon (High odds of taking out a mook and only a mook with light power), Gods Hand (Persona backhands target), Megidolaon (Severe allmighty/non elemental damage to multiple targets)

Alice - Reflects Dark, Weak against Light, Evil Touch (Frightens one foe), Spirit Drain (Sucks magic points from target), Marakunda (Weakens foes' defense for a bit), Mudo Boost (Makes Dark magic more successful), Die for Me! (high chance of instakilling many mooks)

Nebiros - Blocks Dark, weak against Light, Evil Smile (37.5% chance of scaring foes), Megido (weak allmighty/non elemental attack to multiple targets), Ghastly wail (Kills targets suffering from fear), Mudoon (moderate chance of killing a mook with dark magic), Fear Boost (Brings Evil Smile up to 37.5% from 25%), Stagnant Air (Chance of EVERYONE in fight suffering negative status is doubled)

Masakado - Blocks slash damage, Reflects Dark, Tempest Slash (3 moderate slashes at 1 target), Marakunda (Lowers enemies' defence for a bit), Power charge (Next physical attack hits 2.5 times harder), Magarudyne (high strength wind attack on multiple targets), Myriad Arrows (Arrows multiple foes up to 3 times each for moderate damage), Arms Master (Physical attacks from persona take less out of Elizabeth)

Elizabeth channels the strength of the persona she has active. Thor, Masakado, Thanatos and Cu Chulain are quite strong.

Elizabeth comes from the velvet room, as such she tends to be highly resistant to sanity damage, it is hinted at one point she speaks fluent Lost Carcosan. She also has a large supply of magic strength. Also due to her senses and upbringing if an illusion does not fool all the senses she has a good chance of seeing through it.

Liz also has a very sensitive nose and can determine the ingredients of food simply by smelling them much to the chagrin of people who have secret recipes.

First Person: This is a link to an old post from Mayfield http://elevatoravatar.dreamwidth.org/3794.html

Third Person:
"Velvet oh velvet~."

She looked across a courtyard and watched the people move along on their daily journeys. Each a potential link in this world, yet none jumping out at her today. It was quiet times like this Elizabeth sat around outside, watching people, wondering why they did what they did. What the prompted the baker to bake here, or the blacksmith to build? Did they simply do it because that was their routine before they were brought to this realm, or was
there something deeper and more meaningful that she was missing.

"My master has a large nose~."

Her own song, she sang because in many ways it reminded her of home. It wasn't something she regretted leaving, however her dear sister and helpless brother's faces did come to her in the dream realm frequently, as well as the face of another, but that was why she was here. Perhaps they were links cut short, but living in the past was never Elizabeth's strong suit. She acknowledged it existed, studied things from it, and even mastered a dead language, however she had learned that the world was not simply a thing that could be reset if you did not like the outcome of events, even if it had been in the past. She was here to spin her own web of links and understand how to bring peoples' powers together, or at least that is why she left the sea of the soul.

"Looking at this place I wonder, does this place exist for those who are lost, so they can not damage the world of everyone's hearts as well as to keep them from making a scene in the real world. Still that shall not deter me, nor shall this lack of anything exciting to do. Where every day a day in which one could toy with the lives of goldfish in a scandalous way perhaps the beast would not be so hard to kill. "

With that she hopped up and started into town. There were many places to get food, and odds were good that even if none of the chefs and bakers were a link, at least it would be a delicious way to spend the afternoon.

Thank you for your application.

At this time, we are requesting a new first person sample. While linking to examples in other games, memes and museboxes does fall in line with our rules, the example that you have given is rather outdated and we would prefer a more recent portrayal of your writing ability in this format.

Feel free to submit your revisions at any time before the next app cycle, and your application will be processed as soon as possible!
