Fairy Tail in the Playground [FTITP]

[DiscipleofBob]

I used Lucy as kinda a base line. York isn't the issue really and Raven wouldn't be but he does have more than one power. Much like in D&D versatility is really really powerful. He has one "power" but that one "power" grants him more than one...power as it were in a physical sense. If Raven had just the tornado summons or the earth powers, even at the level he has it at, that wouldn't be so bad. But I would at the very least classify them as separate powers because they're not similar.

As for the Skeleton Keys and stuff...only to keep Summoning aesthetically similar. Different magics but similar concept really if you think about it. It's like Netherworld Summoning essentially.

Hm... I have to think about Raven then. On the one hand his name is Raven Windtalker and has a bird motif, so the wind powers would be more appropriate. On the other hand, his magic is supposed to be derived from the ground he's fighting on, so earth would be more appropriate. Gotta think on that one a bit.

In the meantime, I've got a second target for your pruning shears:

To give you a baseline, if Emilia was my Lucy, then Skye would be my Natsu.


Name: Skye

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Alignment: Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral, depending on his mood.

Magic: Storm Magic

Guild: Fairy Tail

Mage Rank: A. He could probably qualify for S-Rank if he ever passed the exam or gave a damn.

Appearance: Skye stands at about 5'8'' at 165 lbs, being on the short and skinny side, but he's still quite athletic. He lets his long, white-grey hair flow freely, and his facial expressions vary between an almost berserk excitement, a disgusted boredom, or a giddy laughter depending on his mood. He usually wears simple, tight clothing and almost always wears a t-shirt with some sort of storm art on it. He's known for being a major prick, and that's if he likes you. His preference for fighting and excitement lets him fit right in at Fairy Tail.

Background: Skye's mother is a cold-hearted bureaucratic professor of a magic academy, his father a dreaded pirate captain and not the fun swashbuckling kind. The two at some point conceived a child, a fact which confuses and frustrates Skye to no end. Skye doesn't talk much about his childhood, but he spent some time with both parents individually for some time in his past. He's as experienced with the inside of a magic academy as he is the deck of a pirate ship. At some point he broke free from their rule, and he always insists on several things: that every last bit of his magic is completely self-taught, his parents are cold-hearted evil bastards of the worst variety, and that one day he will find both his parents so he can kill them personally. He spent some time doing mercenary jobs as well as mage jobs that were “less than legal.” When it became finally time to join a guild, he initially thought he'd sign up with a Dark Guild because of his attitude alone. However, he found that all the Dark Guilds he could find were too weak or too melodramatic. He was offered membership at Fairy Tail from the previous guildmaster after he “helped” some Fairy Tail mages take down a previous Dark Guild, by which I mean he was already there causing destruction at the Dark Guild for the hell of it and the Fairy Tail guildmaster took an interest in him. He was initially skeptical about the guild because of its name alone (after all, who would want to label themselves a fairy?) but the rowdiness and lawlessness of the guild sold it to him. He'll never claim to be a loyal member, but the fact is he's enjoying himself at Fairy Tail.

Magic:

Skye's Storm Magic is completely self-taught and is mainly used to control lightning. Besides the obvious use of lightning bolts, below are some of the specialized spells Skye uses.

Shocking Finger: Skye is no stranger to melee combat. Charging up electricity in his hand(s) turns even a glancing blow into a shocking suprise.

Electric Vengeance: A completely passive magic. Skye has personal space issues. By that he means he doesn't like to be touched. By that he means if you do touch him, whether he realizes it or not, his lightning magic will automatically shock you. Now in casual circumstances, this shock is just enough to make a crackling noise and enough pain to surprise but not wound a target. But in the heat of battle, Electric Vengeance is strengthened so that any bare-handed or melee attack on Skye gets a full lightning bolt in return.

Thunderhead: One of Skye's less battle-friendly spells and more of a prankster type spell, but not without its uses. Skye conjures a tiny thundercloud above the head of a target which follows them around for a few minutes and delivers a tiny lightning bolt every few seconds, again enough to shock but not wound. It's more of an annoyance than an actual attack, but it's still useful for following enemies around plus it's just plain fun.

Shockwave: For when Skye's enemies are just too fast to hit with regular lightning bolts, Skye unleashes a sphere of electrical energy around him, lightning bolts arcing to shock anyone who comes within its radius. It doesn't have near the range of any of his normal lightning spells, but it is far more accurate, relying on conductivity and magnetic forces to hit his opponent instead of just blasting lightning magic at them.

Gigavolt: For when Skye needs to end the fight quick and now. Gigavolt uses up all of Skye's remaining magical energy in a gigantic blast of lightning, the power of which depends on how much magical energy Skye had left when he used it. If Skye's just started to fight and his magical power is at his maximum, then the Gigavolt is a devastating blast that can wipe out entire mobs of opponents. If Skye's only at half magical power, it's no more powerful than a regular lightning bolt of Skye's. Any less and there's no point in using it at all. It's literally an all-or-nothing spell, as once he uses it he's completely out of magical energy and is completely incapable of magic until he's rested long enough to gain some of it back.

Flight: Skye can propel himself through the air with magentic forces, giving him reasonably controlled flight.

Other: When it comes to stormy weather, Skye is right at home. Be it rain, sleet, or snow, Skye actually finds stormy weather pleasant. Even in the worst thunderstorms, downpours, or blizzards, he'll go outside in nothing but a t-shirt and if he's in the mood take a nap, and suffer no ill effects. This doesn't apply to artificial magical changes in weather, however, and Skye can definitely tell the difference.
