Post by Black Waltz No. 3 on Oct 9, 2019 9:15:39 GMT -5
Name: Black Waltz 3 Nickname: N/a Age: 1 or 2 years Gender: Male Job: To eliminate Zidane and Company, Steal Garnet's heart... literally
Side: Darkness Family: Black Waltz 1 and 2 Personality: Black Waltz 3 is extremely arrogant, cocky and confident in his own abilities, seeming himself as superior by design to the other black mages. He holds himself in the highest regard and can't foresee losing to anyone, especially someone like Zidane or Vivi. Despite his ego being the size of an airship, Black Waltz 3 follows orders he's given, if a tad loosely. Those he's ordered to capture often end up mangled and barely alive, partly in fact due to him partaking in the perverse desire to inflict pain on his opponents. Despite having an inflated ego, though, Black Waltz 3 is quite stubborn and strong, shrugging off loses as if they never happen in order to complete his goals. Once he's been given a task, the Black Waltz is dead-set on completing said task unless completely and utterly destroyed. As a result, he is completely and single-mindedly devoted to capturing the princess but for what purpose... he cannot say. He has no queen to return her too nor a force to command him. Such a position had also left him... perplexed.
Being left on his own for so long, though, had actually aided Black Waltz 3 in growing a mind of his own, becoming quite independent, making his own decisions as to carry out his primary directive.
Possesses a grudge toward Zidane, Vivi and Adelbert Steiner for his defeat on the way to Lindblum. Especially Vivi
Still seeks Princess Garnet to this day.
Black Waltz 3 sees himself as far above the average being of darkness, often showing dismissive or disgusted behavior towards his defeated kin. He also shows little respect towards his predecessors (black waltz 1 and 2), believing them to be faliures. He does, however, respect bravery a bit, commending foes for standing to face their imminent demise. He's merciless and cares not for the collateral damage he inevitably causes, even if it costs the hearts of a few unintended targets. He grows increasingly unstable the more damage is done to him.
History: Black Waltz 3 was created to be the ultimate Black Mage. Smarter, Faster, More powerful than any of those that came before him, He was the pinnacle of what it meant to be the pinnacle of what it meant to wield black magic. However, his unstable nature made him unfit for use and thus, was very nearly destroyed in his creation. The defeat of his predecessors, however, gave his creators pause, eventually releasing him to hunt down Zidane and company much like his predecessors. He tracked them down to a rogue airship formerly crewed by black mages, confident in his abilities to take down these would-be heroes! He engaged them in battle, believing that this would a simple easy fight and, at the start, he was correct. Nobody could touch the Black Waltz as he hovered above them, and his magic was simply too strong. However, the tide of the battle changed once Vivi unlocked Trance... Intrigued by this power, Black Waltz 3 engaged with a little more of his own but in his hubris, he was caught off guard and inevitably defeated, leading to his destruction just outside the Southern Gate.
Barely functional, he was found by a mysterious figure in a black robe and with a surge of dark power, the Black Waltz found he was fully restored and his power increased to new heights!
He flew about the world, searching for Zidane, instead locating a train that housed Garnet and Steiner along with the Tantalus Thief-Band. With his newly acquired dark strength, he was confident in his abilities to carry out his new orders and wipe out this pests! Again, his hubris got the better of him, leading to his defeat at the hands of Marcus, forcing him to flee in disgrace. Black Waltz, unable to return to Alexandria seeing as word got around that Queen Brahne was dead! Shocked, confused... and maybe even scared as to what this meant, Black-Waltz 3 wandered Gaia aimlessly, contemplating what his purpose was now... Between the unstable nature of his power and his own internal struggles as to what he was now, Black Waltz 3 fell into a temporary madness, attacking anything everything in sight, yelling "KILL!" at the top of his lungs!
Eventually, as the Black Waltz spent his mana supply, his madness subsided enough for him to make sense of the situation, regaining control of himself enough to formulate a new plan out of the old one... His goals didn't have to change... He'd STILL capture the princess... It was what he was created for after all! As to what he did next... He could not say... For now, he'd track down that stupid monkey-boy as he no doubt knew where Garnet was!
As soon as he found Zidane, he'd face a TRUE Black Waltz!
And this time, he would not be stopped.
Physical Description: 
Black waltz 3 stands at nearly 117 cm tall from boots to hat-tip, weighing a grand total of 200 pounds! He wears a sleek black jacket with raven-feathered shoulder cuffs, a long, wide-rimmed pointed witch-hat, and has MASSIVE raven wings sprouting from his back that grants him the power of flight! He also carries a long, crescent-moon headed staff from which he channels his magical energies. Lightning constantly crackles around the Black Waltz, especially during combat, making it exceedingly dangerous to even get close to him. He stands tall with pride and authority, knowing that he can destroy you at any time he pleases. Darkness also seems to radiate off this pillar of magic, showing his allegiance to all.
Quotes:
"Out of my way! You DARE fight a Black Waltz!?"
"Fool! I am beyond your pathetic attempts at magic!"
"I am Black Waltz No.3! Your fate is sealed!"
Roleplaying Sample:
Lightning crackled around the massive Black Waltz, his wings flapping periodically as he hovered above the airship deck. What fools... They thought they'd be able to escape him...? In this cargo ship run by Black mages? FOOLS! They were both pathetic AND stupid! It was almost an embarrassment of a mission to send him to clean up No.2's mess. And look at them all... Scrambling out to face him like good little fools...
"Ah. It's about time." His spoke, his voice deep, cutting into the souls of all who heard it. "What made you think that you could escape a Black Waltz?" His gaze flicked over the foolish little minions before him: A Monkey-tailed boy, the treacherous captain of the Pluto Knights, and.... A prototype... His piercing gaze locked onto the fearful one of the childish failure, his eyes squinting in distaste.
"It seems we have more than one traitor attempting to move the Princess. It is of no consequence. You're all going to disappear!" Black Waltz 3 lifted his hand, a well of electricity spilling forth from his palm, ripping up the deck of the ship and setting the wood on fire! A little taste of the pain they would all feel for daring to defy a Black Waltz! They would all know the true meaning of Darkness!

Weapon: Carries a long wooden staff with a yellow crescent on it's head from which he casts his magic. He also has razor-sharp claws at the end of his hands which he uses to slash at foes from close range.
Powers:
Black Guardian:
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}A suit of mechanized armor infused with a lost soul from the mysterious location of Memoria, given purpose by the contract with the user and obeys their commands until sufficient damage is sustained to return them to their home dimension. These constructs were built as precursors to the Black Waltzes, designed to be just as mindless and obedient as the typical black mage, but far tougher and stronger. Black Guardians were built to replace the average human soldier within Alexandria's army. The souls provided to give these beings "life" were provided by the mysterious magician Kuja, his far-reaching skill and magic abilities making it a cake-walk to acquire their power-source. However, there were certain critical issues with the Black Guardians: They were slow, had very limited long-ranged capabilities and were only able to take simple commands. In addition, it was far more expensive to create one Black Guardian suit than it did to generate one black mage. And so, the entire project was scrapped, the guardians thrown away across the plains of Gaia to be disassembled at the wims of wild beasts. The Black Waltz 3 had found one of these suits as he traveled the plains of his home world, a suit who's soul had long since left the confines of it's body. Opening up it's cuirus, the machine found that it's interior resembled his own to a stunning degree with a similar (if far older a model) power core, working pieces, etcetera. Perplexed, but also intrigued, the Waltz proceeded to reverse engineer the machine, using his own self-knowledge as a superior model to discover the secrets of this creature! And so he had... The only issue was the power-source... He didn't have the power to activate the Black Guardian, let alone get it working properly! The battery just wouldn't accept his magical energy... So he sought other sources... There were creatures that ran on forelorne souls in the worlds of Gaia and Terra... Golems... Black Waltz 3 had learned of a place from which these creatures grew... and knew of but one way to get there... Risking both life and limb for his experiment, Black Waltz 3 had returned for the dimension of Memoria with a soul in his possession, and infused it within the suit! White lights began to glow from within the helm of the creature, displaying that the Waltz's experiment had been a success! Now, instead of himself going, Black Waltz 3 sent his new machine into Memoria to retrieve more souls as Black Waltz 3 scoured Gaia for the bodies of more Guardians. Eventually, he had a platoon of loyal machines at his beck and call, tucked away within the confines Memoria as "secret weapons." Whenever he attempted to summon them, however, he found only 2 would answer his calls at a time... Stands at about 15 feet tall. Engage in brawling generally but can fire beams of dark energy from their hands for ranged dark damage.
[HP]: 10 (is split in half if 2 are summoned)
[Duration]: Until Defeated
[Uses]: 3 Uses
These creatures can not dodge attacks. a maximum of 2 can be summoned at a time
Abililties:
- Strike: Using it's full, unrestrained power, the Black Guardian smashes the earth with it's fist, conjuring a sizable directed shockwave through the ground that explodes on impact for medium non-elemental damage. Can travel up walls and surfaces to get at opponents but cannot change direction beyond a straight line.
[Cooldown]: 2 posts
- Formidable Defense: The Black Guardian encapsulates itself and their summoner in an armor like barrier of physically durable magic. Protects against medium damaging attacks and less, lasts for 2 posts.
[Cooldown]: 2 posts
Thunder: Black Waltz raises his staff and a massive bolt of electricity crashes down on the opponent from above! light damage(Cool-down 1 post)
Thundra: Electricity crackles around his body before pointing his staff at the opponent, a massive wave of electricity slamming into multiple targets, washing over them in a wave of voltage! medium damage (Cooldown 2 posts)
Thundaga: Black Waltz 3 levels his hand at the opponent as a massive surge of lightning rips towards the opponent, tearing apart wind and ground alike with it's sheer force! It can also be split to attack 3 other opponents as well! (Heavy damage for one target, Medium for 1 target and light for 2 more) [Cooldown: 3 posts]
Blizzard: Taps the ground with his staff and from his contact with the earth, a surge of cold arcs towards the opponent, entrapping them an a block of ice! light damage (Cooldown 1 post)
Freeze: Black Waltz 3 grabs the opponent by the face, flooding them with chilling energy! Inflicts the "Stop" effect upon the opponent for one turn as they are frozen in place. (Lasts 1 post, cooldown for 3)
Fire: Holds out his palm, blasting a flaming ball at the target light damage (Cooldown 1 post)
Fira: Points his staff at a target, fire coagulating at the tip before blasting off and exploding in a pulse of flame! medium damage (Cooldown 2 posts)
Firaga: Black Waltz 3 raises his staff, summoning a huge fireball from it's tip! He then gestures it towards his targets, sending it crashing upon them to bathe the surroundings in fire! If targeting multiple opponents, it simply splashes over a wider area!(Heavy Damage to 1 target, Medium for 1 target and light for 2 more) [Cooldown: 3 posts]
Flight: Black Waltz 3 Takes to the skies with his wings! That's not all it does, however as it boosts his spellpower for as long as he remains in the air! Being in the air also makes avoiding attacks from the ground a breeze, simply needing to float out of range! Is immune to melee attacks! (Lasts for 3 posts, cooldown for 5)
Osmose: Black Waltz No. 3 absorbs the magic out of a technique in progress or a person, leaving them exhausted and unable to complete the action while, in turn, restoring his own magic! If a magic attack or technique isn't being used, Waltz targets one not in use and forces it into cooldown instead. It appears as blue energy is being sapped from the source, the target withering away until nothing is left!
(Target one foe. Waltz forces any one special move/spell of the target in progress to take an additional turn in cooldown after the move is completed. In addition, Waltz targets any move of his in cooldown (besides this one) and subtracts half the total cooldown turns from the selected move's cooldown turns, reducing the over all cooldown.)[Cooldown: 4 rounds]
Teleport
Using magic, Waltz is able to warp space-time, allowing him to disappear from one spot, and appear in another, his next attack enhanced by the warp in reality he had appeared from. (Can be used to avoid attacks. The next melee attack delivered has a set power of Medium damage or The next spell cast after Teleport is cast has it's power enhanced by one level. Stacks with other boosts of this nature. Boosts only apply to the next attack.)
Cooldown: 2 posts
Teleporta
Having further refined the warp in space-time, Waltz is able to distort it even further to serve his needs, granting him new abilities and enhancing old ones! (Waltz is now able to teleport world to world without the need of transportation. no cooldown)
(Can be used to avoid attacks for two posts. The next 2 melee attacks he delivers after he casts Teleporta have a set power of Medium damage or the next spell he casts has it's power enhanced by one level and lasts for 1 more additional turn in all it's respects. Stacks with other boosts of this nature.)
Cooldown: 4 posts.
Teleportaga
The result of intense study into the realm of darkness. Drawing on his primal power, Black Waltz No. 3 is able to push his ability to warp space/time even further! (Can teleport himself and one other to another world without the need of transportation. Physical contact is not required. no cooldown)
(Can use to avoid damage for 3 posts. He can also target one person, allowing them to avoid damage for 1 post as well. The next 2 melee attacks he delivers after he casts Teleportaga have a set power of Medium or the next two spells he casts have their power increased by one level and they both last for 1 more additional turn in all respects. Stacks with other boosts of this nature.)
Cooldown: 6 posts
Trance: Through rage and hatred, Black Waltz 3 has ascended to the highest and rarest level of power encountered in his home world, the power of Trance! Air condenses around him, swirling about his form in the shape of clouds, lightning constantly sparks around his form! His clothes appear almost tattered from the sheer power of his transformation, his hat growing longer and more floppy at the top while horns jut out of his head just above the rim. He loses his staff in favor of greater magic power!
While in Trance-mode, Black Waltz 3's spells become FAR more powerful, putting his original magical output to shame!
All damage spells increase in potency by one level (Weak damage becomes medium, etc.). All spells (whether or not they only last for 1 turn) now last for an additional turn. Spells within the spell-line of Fire, Blizzard and Thunder gain the Third Degree, Frostbite and Overcharge effects respectively (deals 1 level less than base damage. Minimum light damage. Acts as a status effect. Lasts for 2 turns) instead of lasting for an additional turn.
In addition, Black Waltz 3 gains access to a new plethora of spells known as "Black Waltzes", spells so strong, they would tear his body apart should he attempt to cast them outside of this form and as such can only be used in Trance (They are not effected by the magic-buff):
Black Waltzes:
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Ebony Walzer: Black Waltz 3 extends his hand, sucking all the light from a person's heart out of their eyes and mouth, leaving them blind and in pain as the darkness seeks to consume them from the inside!
Inflicts Blind and deals medium damage every post.
Lasts for 2 posts
Cooldown: 5 posts Name: Cherniyat Vals Description: Black Waltz 3 taps the floor with his staff, a massive murky puddle of darkness engulfing the floor! Tendrils will spawn from the dark, thin and vine-like, slowly constricting their targets as the fight goes on, infecting them with a damaging, plague of the eternal darkness. In fact, the vines are connected to the Waltz himself, sapping away their life and returning it to him, replacing their essence with his own...
The User can target up to 3 opponents: Inflicts Absorb (Deals deals light damage each turn over 5 turns, User is healed for light damage for 5 turns) Inflicts Chaos (User targets an opponent afflicted with this Spell. Every other turn over 5 turns, the user can select one spell of the opponents spells of heavy power or less OR 2 pure status effect moves of any kind and cast it/them upon the opponent or the user/allies. The opponent suffers the cooldown divided in half rounded up).
Cooldown: 5 posts.
Trance lasts for 4 posts, cooldown for 5

Alright mad lad you been gone a while, but you'll be able to keep your abilities intact that you purchased a bit ago, but before I can call this approved Id need you to adjust the height you have for Black Waltz. While the chibi-esque art of IX can be deceptive: Waltz No.3 is only 173cm canonically, same height as Ziddy! So unless his hat is seven feet tall it would be asked you adjust that to its canonical standard. Otherwise all looks well enough!
Also your banner is hella huge -- Id also request you shrink your signature banner to a reduced height as it expands the forum!
