Description

[EDIT] Sorry watchers x'D if the only way to add her to a group is to nerf the everliving crap out of her already limited bare bones abilities, then I'd rather have her something unique, so she officially has nothing more to do with 25:00, sorry for anyone who looked forward to rp'ing with her!

PERSONALITY
-
she is essentially a calm, sometimes quiet person, who may seem cold to others, but deep inside she is a girly person who just wants to be loved and make many friends, and simply adores cute stuff, she is humble however, caring little about showing off, respecting and treasuring the little she has, as she had to endure powerty and homelessness for a long while

- Dislikes: anyone staring at her eyepatch for too long, jokes about her glass / bloodshot eye, being interrupted while writing runes as they explode into her face and make a mess

BACKGROUND  

Antonia was the child of two very poor parents. They always did their best to give her all they could, but eventually poverty won and they ended up on the streets. While they did manage for several weeks, one day a gang attacked them, and left them with nothing, taking anything they collected over those weeks. Having nothing to protect themselves with, just when they thought it can't get any worse, a group of monsters appeared and finished what the thugs did not. Antonia was left running from the monsters who were baring their teeth reeking with the remains of her parents, but to no avail, in a dark alleyway she found herself trapped by a thick brick wall. Having nowhere else to run, she crouched down, as she was drawing near to accepting her fate while repeating the lines ‘I don’t want to die…mama…papa…help me…’ screaming at the ground 'I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!!', at which point her sudden will to live awoke the dormant Arcana within her blood, showering the monsters who were about to jump her with countless runes that her dormant Bloodshot Eye created over the years she lived without knowing about them, decimating them all and leaving the alleyway a crumbling mess, and sending herself flying into one of the trash bins unconscious.

Three weeks later she awoke, with a searing headache, panicked at the fact that she could not see with her left eye anymore. The first one her only remaining eye met, was a old man, sitting next to her, smiling with tears in his eyes that she finally woke up ‘You…I was certain that you left our world for good…thank the Heavens you are back’ and gave her a tight hug ‘Thank the Heavens….’. Although she was still crying for her loss of sight, the tears following up to the hug were much more intense, as she buried herself into the old man, crying out loud for over an hour as the pain of her recent memories struck her head harder than any other pain she felt before.

When things calmed down, she learned the old man was her grandfather, who heard of their misfortune and rushed to try and get them to safety before anything bad happened to them on the streets, albeit he was late. He however knew that Antonia will have a dormant ability, as his great grandmother was also a rune user who foretold that one day, one of her descendants will inherit her powers and develop a way of controlling the runes, so as long as the bloodline remains pure and not tainted with monster blood. He was supposed to give this information to her parents before his inevitable death, so they continue on the legacy as his grandparents did. But this was now unnecessary. Pulling a book out from his dresser, he gave the book titled ‘Diary to my legacy’ to Antonia, and from that day on, took care of her. Antonia, using the diary of the old arcanists, learned how the arcane works and how each person learned to use the arcane in their own special and/or unique way, it also detailed all previous mages and their abilities in detail for those who were to inherit the legacy of becoming an arcanist, so they may learn from the past. While not able to help her with specific details, her grandfather started training with her, while at the same time studying her Arcana. It is during this time that they learned the limits of the ability, and how she has to create and write her own runes for them to work, while her special eye for some reason allows a new rune to appear in her mind each day without much of an effort from her side. While training they also realized how big of a toll it leaves on her body, as the more she used, the more tired she was and the stronger her headaches became. When one day her remaining eye and nose started profoundly bleeding, they immediately went to the hospital for a checkup and realized just how much of a toll she had to endure from all that, and that her other eye was not lost during the encounter itself last time, but from the sudden output of energy she released. They feared that at this rate, she could lose more than just an eye.

After several years of training with the help of her grandfather, Antonia learned how to utilize her Arcana to the best of her ability, and could learn nothing more from the diary, but she did not throw it away, she kept on writing into it anything new she was able to learn that she did not find in the diary itself. Sadly however, just when she was about to celebrate her grandfather’s upcoming birthday, he fell gravely ill, and all she could do was nurture him to her best ability, as no doctor was able to identify his illness, and he was already too old to recover from it properly. On the day of her 17th birthday, her grandfather passed away, leaving behind only the memories they were able to spend together.

Depressed by the loss of her only family member, she took to the city once again, with only one thing in mind ‘I will destroy all of them…my Arcana will purify this city of the scum that fill it!’, facing the monsters that came from the other world once again, day after day she removed them from existence, each day writing new runes and runewords, to take them down each in their unique way. Never using up the extra rune she passively gains from her eye each day. She knows better, she is keeping them ready. They saved her once, and she will not waste a single one anymore. The day came when she replenished all that was lost that fateful day, and on that day she managed to rid the city of the last monster. Albeit at a loss for words, a tear tricked down from her bloodshot eye as it turned back to normal, the words 'I did it...now you all can finally rest...in peace' escaped her mouth in a soft whisper, but she knew that the real challenge was yet to come, she set out to find where those monsters came from, and permanently remove that from existence as well.

ARCANE ABILITY
Name: Arcana
Purpose: Varies (depending on the rune used)
Description:
 - The ability Arcana gives the user access to a mental library of arcane lore and spells, mind becomes one with the arcane, and brain becomes the database. The user is required to write down their own runes to use them. The ability has both an active and passive side:
  * Active: Arcana Variable - Using existing runes, user is able to manifest spells and items through the shattering of a rune or writing of a runeword from existing runes, once a runeword is written, it shatters, activating on the spot unless it is a new runeword she never knew, if she writes a new one, then the runeword disintegrates without activating the effect, but etches itself into her mind database along with its effect.
  * Passive: The Bloodshot Eye - Due to intense arcana flow, the left eye overflows with blood, turning the sclera red when magic is in active use. When not, then it allows user to write runes and runewords using magic from the air combined with magic from body. While user is required to write their runes if they wish to use them (this may take time depending on the complexity of the rune in question), the passive Bloodshot Eye automatically creates and stores one random (can be of any complexity, cannot influence it) rune per day in the brain's database.

- over use of ability can cause severe bleeding from nose, mouth and even the eye, worst case scenario the brain will suffer great damage due to the overuse of the database,  in the most severe cases user may become permanently blind and/or brain dead
- interrupting the rune writing process will cause the rune to explode, albeit it does not do physical harm, it causes real headaches to the user, and also makes a really big mess of soot and smoke

EXTRA:
- she learned to combine her Revita Akyo ability with her love for dance, because she noticed that she can recite things much easier if she is dancing around slowly, and using both of her hands for rune writing
- living on the streets for several weeks and hunting on them for even longer, gave her a better understanding of the street layout, and sewer systems
- the eyepatch on her eye is made by her, the cute heart on it especially given extra attention
