[OOC - shadow plot info]
Arcana Card
England’s arcana is the Chariot. The Chariot is an arcana that represents victory, willpower and self-mastery - traits associated with it are discipline, grit, determination and assertiveness.
Someone linked with the Chariot arcana has a healthy ego - they know what they want and they know how to get it. It represents hard control, which at its best isn’t brutal, but firm and direct, and backed up by a strong, confident will. People like this may be annoying at times, but they’re useful in times of crisis - you can rely on them not to go wishy-washy on you.
However, the Chariot also represents the dangers of reaching too high, unprepared, of getting on the wrong path and being overwhelmed, or dying before our time. It’s fueled by contradictory impulses and can represent the dangers of being pulled apart by forces which we can’t control or understand.
Shadow
Description: England’s shadow looks like a younger version of himself; whereas the England most people know looks like someone in his early 20s, his shadow looks like someone in their mid-teens. He has the same golden eyes as any shadow, and is dressed in clothes from the medieval period, complete with bow and arrow. The biggest difference between England and his shadow is that his shadow gives off a distinct air of being shy and awkward around people.
Personality: Everything that England represses about himself - his social awkwardness, his occasional bouts of self-esteem issues, and most importantly, his softer, more caring side - comes out in his shadow. England tries to hide the fact that he’s desperately lonely, has an abandonment complex and actually gets to be deeply devoted to his friends - because he’s come to the conclusion that people only ever take advantage of these things.
So as a result, Shadow!England is shy and withdrawn and incredibly fucking moe, and won’t attempt to hide the fact that he really wants friends. Of course, when you do say that you want to be friends with him, he’ll react with complete disbelief. He’ll smile more than his normal self, but he’ll also constantly search for reassurance that you do like him, you do honestly want to be friends with him, because to be honest, he can’t fathom why you’d want to be. Emotionally, he also bruises a lot more easily than his normal self - his shadow!self will try to hide how hurt he is, but he’ll fail. It will not be pretty.
Dungeon/Environment: Think a forest, but slightly twisted - did that tree over there just move? And those circles of toadstools don’t look very friendly either… The shadows you’d run across in his dungeon would look a lot like dark, twisted faeries - the dark side of fairy tales.
The Shadow's 'True Form'
Description: An empty suit of armour, completely impervious to any attempt to prise it open, riding on top of an equally empty suit-of-armour unicorn. Also, you really don’t want to be hit by the sword it’s carrying - it’s huge, and it will hurt. :|
Level: 80
Elemental Resistance:
Resist: Physical
Block: None
Absorb: None
Reflect: None
Weak: None
His moveset is:
Skull Cracker
Power Slash
Poison Arrow
Blade of Fury
Myriad Arrows
Vorpal Blade
Firm Stance
Foolish Whisper
As you can see, he’ll be a bitch to fight, as he has no weaknesses and resists physical attacks - on top of that, he’ll use firm stance to halve any and all damage you inflict on him. Your best bet is to wear him down with magic and keep healing the party so that he doesn’t take you down with one of his physical attacks. On that note, you might want to make sure that you have some mouthwash on you - he won’t use Foolish Whisper often, but it’ll be a lot more difficult to beat him if he does use it and you’re left with no mouthwash to use. :|b
Persona
Name: Brigantia, a goddess from the Romano-Celtic pantheon. She was mostly worshipped in Northern England, where there was a tribe that took their name from her. She ruled over victory, sovereignty, self-control, leadership, protection of your land, and prosperity. She also inspired the design for, or is possibly the same entity as, the figure that came to be used for Britannia.
She appears as a sort of female knight; she’s about 8 feet tall and wears a breastplate over a white dress. Her arms are bare and she wears a roman-style helmet over her long flowing hair. She’s armed with both a short sword and a bow.
Inheritance: Physical
Role/Category: Fighter.
Elemental Resistance:
Resist: Physical
Block: Ice
Absorb: None
Reflect: None
Weak: Fire
The chariot is a physical-based arcana, so most of the persona’s attacks are physical, with some leaning towards ice-based magic:
Power Slash
Rainy Death
Myriad Arrows
Mabufula
Tetrakarn
Makarakarn
Firm Stance
Unshaken Will
As you can see, in battle against the other shadows England’s likely to use Unshaken Will to start with to negate any possible mental ailments, and then rain down physical attacks on the enemies and use Firm Stance to halve any damage he gets rather than dodge the attacks. He’ll also use Tetrakarn and Makarakarn when it looks like another member of the party is in a bind.
