Welp, this took longer than I expected, but I’m finally done. Ladies and gentlemen, may I (re)introduce the first oc I posted here and the second member of team MDNT, now with updated graphics and name, balance changes, bug fixes and a redesigned weapon, Daciana Dusk.

Do note I added a category for face type and moved her Background a little higher for clarities sake…otherwise you might get confused why I kept underlying certain words.


 * Name: Daciana Dusk;
 * Team/occupation: Second year student (Partnered with Magnolia of team MDNT);
 * Position/Class: Aura Mage (With a preference for sound based spells) when  awake, Rogue when  asleep ; can alternate between the 2 if needed;
 * Species: Human;
 * Traits: Shorter that average legs and Pasty skin (since she prefers closed spaces when awake  and can’t stand still when asleep, so sunlight and her don’t tend to mix);
 * Other: Always has an oversized hairpin somewhere in her hair. The pin model varies but it always carries a theme of symmetry (a half moon, the ying yang sigh, the theater masks,etc); Possesses a pin with her symbol that she usually wears with her combat outfit or when things get serious; When  awake  she prefers the pin next to her right ear, when  asleep  she prefers it behind her head, tying her hair into something resembling a ponytail.
 * Age: 18;
 * Sex: Female;
 * Handedness: Ambidextrous; prefers Left ( Awake )/ Right ( Asleep );
 * Height: 1.5 meters;
 * Weight: 60 kg;
 * Eyes: Olive;
 * Face: Square;
 * Hair: Mid-Back length, Grey colored
 * Background: Suffering at a very early age from a condition that gave her a never ending case of insomnia, doctors have been forced to unlock her aura earlier than necessary in hopes that it could supply her with the energy she was losing from lack of sleep, otherwise she would have lost her mind...with her life soon to follow. It worked…but not how they expected. They expected that instead of sleeping, her body would slow down at night as her aura would start depleting itself in order to supply her with "sleep"…what actually happened was that if she was  asleep, her personality would do a 180 as a side of her brain would "shut down" while another would become dominant, creating 2 polarizing personalities that inhabited the same body. However, despite the differences between the two personalities, the choices, likes and dislikes where shared by both sides;
 * Health FAQ: 1) the easiest way to view the 2 personalities is like this. Say you have some spare cash in your pocket and feel the need to eat something salty and something sweet, but only have money for one. If she where  awake, she would have chosen something salty and vice versa. Regardless of the time of day her goals are the same, she just takes a different route to pursue them depending on her…mood. 2) Her  asleep  side can appear during the day and vice versa, just like a human can stay awake at night or take naps during the day, with the appropriate grogginess to follow when she goes back to the side that should be on. 3) She cannot be knocked out…not in the traditional sense; she can be knocked from  awake  to  asleep  and shocked from  asleep  to  awake , but you can’t get her to sleep; the day she sleeps is the day she dies. 4) Using her semblance in order to switch phases does NOT also switch personality, although it does invert her aura colors so you know which is currently active.
 * Physique: Lean( she doesn’t have the drive to eat more than necessary when  awake  and can’t stand still when  asleep );
 * Combat Outfit: Fur boots, brown army pants and vest, grey tank top
 * Casual Outfit: a white shit covered by a  boat neck grey sweater with jeans and heeled fur boots;
 * Personality:  Regardless of time she is outgoing and competitive, which means she get’s friendly with strangers fast, and loses her temper just as fast; does occasionally wonder how dreaming is like and will always ask other people about them. If she is awake, she prefers closed spaces, taking things slow and tries to be polite to everyone…but frequently barks back with a sarcastic retort. If asleep , she rambles when she talks, prefers the fresh air, can’t stand still and playfully flirts with anyone…punches first when mad.
 * Landing strategy:  Shockwave of sound to cushion the fall ( awake ) or cut debris and go with the flow ( asleep ).
 * Aura/Effects: Grey/Silver lines ( awake )/ Silver/Grey lines( asleep )
 * Semblance:  Phases . A relatively simple semblance…although due to her unique condition she might be the only person that possesses it. When  awake, the user has doubled aura regeneration as well as increased proficiency with aura techniques, but the user’s reactions are halved. When  asleep , it doubles physical capabilities as well as doubles reaction speed, but aura regeneration is halved; Mastery allows the user to temporary access the other phase for a short time at the cost of aura.
 * Weapon:  The Silver Quarter ; A two handed, double edged, short silver sword (Blade is about 3 times the size of the handle). The blade can split up in order to become a sharp tuning fork. As an aura mage, she can amplify the sounds emanating from the blade in order to create projectiles, shockwaves and shields when in fork mode, or add splash or shatter damage to her attacks when in sword mode. She activates the sword by flicking the blade.
 * Fighting style:  Like a hunter going after an unknown prey. She is proficient with using the sword in both hands and with different grips and will not hesitate to switch stances and main hands in order to catch opponents off guard. When  awake  will try to fight opponent’s from ranged and switch phases in melee as a trump card in order to catch opponents of guard with the increased strength and speed. When  asleep  will gauge out opponents with hit and run melee tactics on all fours (well…3 since she is usually holding the blade in one hand) and will switch phases to disengage out of a ruff spot with shockwaves.
 * Symbol: A theater mask with wolf ears that's half white and half grey, half frowning and half smiling.

Feedback is appreciated, and criticism more so...specialy since I don’t want this to turn into a mary sue with a superpowered evil side if you catch my drift...
 * Relationships: Magnolia and Daciana get along well most of the times…but Daciana is very vocal about how much Magny can get on her nerves…not because of their personality mind you. After Magnolia found out about her partners condition, she became extremely afraid her semblance might override hers and kill Daciana…well at least half of her…so she takes extra precautions to keep her distance, and no matter how much Daciana tries to reason with her that her brain and semblance are two different things Magnolia refuses to listen because she, like the rest of the team, likes both sides equally.
 * Notes: Based on Riluri from “Planeta cu doi Sori” and the werewolf mythos as a whole. Her outfit colors are based on the gray wolf, arguably the most known kind. Personality is based on a wolfs pack instincts. Her sound motif comes from the wolfs howl, which sometimes signals bad omens. The silver aspect of her aura and weapon is based on the silver bullet, which was originally one of the few ways to kill a werewol. Her semblance, weapon name and symbol ties to the moon phases... and I gave her a theater mask as a symbol because I ran out of ideas.
