Name:Ixella Dextra Sedofa
Nicknames/Alias: Ixella the Briliant Engineer of the Skies
FF (Even OCs have to originate from a certain FF): XII
Age: 26
Height/build: five foot eight Inches...Pretty tall, and avarage(boxum)...
DoB: September 8th
Race: Hume
Weapon: The Muses-A particualry potent pair of handgun. Unlike a rifle, the Muse is a pistol and follows diffrent rules. Pistols fire much faster then a rifle, and weather effects are un-detremental to them(so rain and heavy wind does not naturaly effect the bullets). They are impeded by the foe's armor effects, but come with a natural amoutn of penetration. They have to be used at much lcoser range, but becuase of their speed, and abbilty to keep a foe off his feet the range is little of a downfall.
The muses themselves are creations of Ixella's work. Whilst she is a engineer, and most potently a master of all kinds of mixtures from gun's to mechanics to magi-tech, she is not seen as a real weaponsmith. But Ixella had them in a dream of hers...a dream that spoke to her of a particular craft of the gun that would provide a much more efficient pistol. Hence why she called them the Muses, for they were inspired works of art.
The Muses are made mainly of platinum, Orhicalum, and ancient wood. The handles are grooved for ease of grip, and the trigger has a fully encloused ring around it. The barrel of the guns is made of platinum, but interwoven with mythril wires...Makehing htme have spiral-patered barels. The inside of the weapon is crafted inetierly out of Orhicalum springs and mechanisms...The unique design ofthe inside makes her bullets fly faster as well as hit harder. What makes the guns even more intresting is the Magi-tech Bullet. A crystal placed in the handle inside of the weapon lets her shoot without ever reloading. Rather hte crystal epends mist, mist that then through the internal mechanisms of the gun gets shaped into a bullet that is then shoot off. The magic bullets are just like the real thing, if not better, for they are compeltly impeeded by weather, and otherwise physcal defense to a greater extent. Magic defneses still pose a vialbe block against them.
In times of need the weapon does have a slot for bullet-clips..that she can slot into it and use. Although this is rare, she can most certainly do it. The Muses are masterfly worked on the outside and decorated heavily with Orchiacul swirls and motiffs. Many would agree they are worth about as much as Archadian royalty just for the decorations..let alone the technology. Ixella has never shared the info behind hre design, and never will. Its one of her only well-kept secrest that would mean the life-and-death of her inavation. The system is still not 100% perfect, and there is about a 1% chance of a misfire..but Ixella has worked that that so that when misfires happen the magic is scattered so sparly it does nothing. Ixella can also Outfit the pistols ot have diffrent fire methods by althering a section in the barrel. She can otufit it to send the bullets out as burst, or streams...She can even decrease or increase the output of her guns by refiting the crystal with alteranive crystals...She normaly keeps a steady-stream of high-rate normal magic bullets though..only swtiching when needed.

Special Skill(s):
Engineering-This is Ixella's most potent and superpowerfull technice. She has become well versed in the way of Magic, and Technolgy. She in essence is a very smart woman. She is am aster of technology and uses it to her advanage both outside and on the battlefield In many diffrent ways. I suggest if yuo want to see more about her battlefield tactics see the class section at the bottom..but Otherwise she is a smart cookie.
Intelect/Adaptabilty-Ixella is extreamly smart. So smart that some view her as a bit of a know-it-all. She loves to learn, and loves even more to understand. I add Intelect and Adaptabillity because on the fly Ixella is known to improvise. Wehter she needs that now or latter she knows how to work the field of combat to work einterly to her odds...useing whatever is at hand. She is quite the smart gal.
Alchemy-Ixella is known for her mastery of Magic and technolgy. But she is not stupid to the arts of Alchemy. She did study under a Alchemist for a time, and becuase of this she is quite versed at useing simple salves to their maximum potency. As well as she knows how to take loot and transform it into tools for battle. Wether she is given a tooth and a flower, somehow she can make that into somethign to better the situation. She also can improvise and create consumables in combat without wasting her own stock, as well as create food and such outside of combat to buff and increase the effectivness of her allies. Her most potent creations are her "magi-bombs" created out of mist and loot magi-bombs can be tossed to create Powerfull magickal explosions...Such the like that it maches an actual spell-caster. She can also place magi-tech mines that activate like traps with the click of a button. She can also use Alchemy to give laydown combo feilds. These *feilds* can be utalized with her pet machine to create intricate combos that can benifit the entire party.
Machina: Eldrich-Machina, code name Eldrich is Ixella's monster if you will. She is a engineer, and when she worked at Droknar's Labratories she produced the first of its kind. Machina was the project name, and started out as machina code name Eldar. Eldar was flawed by a massive amoutn becuase it was unable to adapt to the sitauation. Instead Eldar was a lunkign work of magi-tech. It had sub-par intelligence. It had a hard time understanding voice comands...So Ixella went on to produce many incarnations...Until eventually she perfected it to the best she could. That Machina was known as Eldrich, and he is her most usefull tool. Whilst Its still not very smart, becuase of the Many test Ixella learned that maybe the reliabilty of the machine was the issue. Eldrich recieves orders via a wire-less communicator. Hence the communicator is voice-activated, and Eldrich responds to that. Eldrich is ruffly the size of Ixella, and a massive beast. It almost looks very monster like, much morel ike a Lizard with four legs, and made entierly out of circuitry and magi-tech. Crystals are embedded deep in the beast, and because of its build Ixella can activly transform it into many things durring combat. For example she can rework it to have a Turret on its back, or have it essentialy produce a Area that massive magical fields of damage is sent out of. She can even have him Explode...and afterwords he rejoins into a single form..abliet missing some parts so she reserves this function rarely. The most unique thing about Eldrich is the learning codex-crystal. Build deep in its systems...the Learnign Codex lets Eldrich actually activly "learn" mosnter attacks and keep them recorded. These attacks can then been listed on the Communicator that Ixella has, and can be selected for it to use. The Beast is powered by crystals, but indefintly is not entierly "energy-less" More pwoerfull attacks and etc require more energy. When the Machina runs out of power to fuel it, it reverts back to "back-pack" form..and reduces in size to a small pack. Magic helps condesnse all of the Metal and etc that holds Eldrich together and forms him into a portable-beast. In this mode he activly recharges via-mist in the air. It is made mainly of Fusion-Crystal core, meaning it can use Nethicite abbilites, and Magicite abbilites.
GunPlay-Despite being a reseracher for so many years, and a scientist, its funny to think of her as being "good" with a gun. But she is! Ixella always told herself that she would have to learn to use whatever she made and she made the Muses, so she learned to use them. Simple as that, it took her a few years but Ixella is a master shot, and even more so a master gunner. Able to unload tons of bullets in only a few seconds, or otherwise defeat a foe useing nothing but her guns alone. Ixella is known for being one hell of a bad-ass when it comes to fighting with pistols. In particular she can also shoot rifles, cannons, use mortars, and hand-bombs...But she lets those take a back seat for he simply because the pistols are her favorite.
Pilot- It may not seem it, but when you've seen enough airships, and crafted enough weapons for them, eventually you learn to fly them to. Ixella does know how to fly a airship(ivalician), and she can most certainly do it with expertise to it. Does she like to fly airships? No, in fact if someone else can do it she won't volunteer, but it is in her repitoire of abbilites.
Quikenings
{Alchemica}-Ixella activly Mixes two potions together in her hands. One is a wonderfull simi-glowing white pearl like concotion...The other in a flask is a sickly black-thick goop. She shakes them both up rather violently and then throws them to the foe. They meet mid-air crash and explode in a blast that shakes the very foudnation of the ground. The explosion decimates the foe. The unique concept behind Alchemica is that it produces a double feild, of both dark and ligh energy. Allowing her Pet Machine to do double the trouble.
{Trapped}- tick-tock.
{Death Penalty: Weapon Code;Nova}- Her most powerfull and deadly attack. Useing Machnia:Eldrich she inputs the last of her codes. This code activates Eldrich's Death Penalty Mode-whereas the great Machine begins to fall to parts, only seconds later to transform into a massive Cannon. Ixella jumps atop the barrel of the cannon and inputs another code into her communicator. Eldrich begins to charge, his crystals exposed beign to glow with massive light. Tons of mist is absorved like a vacuum into the cannon that glows so brilliently that it blinds Onlookers. The Magic forms into a massive sphere in front of the barrel and Ixella orders "Fire!" The massive ball of magickal energy is shot directly at the foe. The massive amount of magick explodes into a blast of electical and magical energy.
Magic:
Ixella does not activly Have magic in her repitoire. Rather she releis on mechanical things that are powered by mists..for this reason she does not have Spells or magic. She rtather uses magic to power her mechanical mayhem. Although her gun can be attributed with elemental affinities at her will Some say when she is in battle she can be seen with a disticve aura, golden hued and sparkles. When she fires her guns sparkles fly off of them, Gold and Blue respectivly...Hence the sparkles. The aura comes from her constant touch with the crystals and is just a highted area of mist around her body, nothing special.
Summon: None Machina: Eldrich is her active compainion why would she need another...Now the Scion "glyphs" on the other hand have potential she would like to try and extract, to increase the power of Eldrich. Its a theory of hers that power siphoned from a scion could give Eldrich new abbilites.So if she meets a person who has acess to a scion...Lol, there will experiments.
Appearance: Ixella is a rather tall woman. Taller then most men being five foot eight inches. She is curvy, or rather boxum. She is by not definition frail and small. Rather she is curved, and defined. Her face is a disticntive Rounded Almond face, with elegnatly placed features. A small, and smart little nose, and otherwise lightly pink lips. Her eye-color is a defined shimmering blue-that traits well with her lightbrown tresses. Her hair is cut short ending at her neck, and curls everwhere as it gets closer to the tips. Her bangs are rolled over her forehead. She does not wear make-up, as she hates it.
Ixella's outfit is far diffrent then what you would expect. She wears a leather onsomble. For example her top is a simple open-belly bodice. The top is suspended from a thick cotten strip that circles her neck. The bodice itself is leather, but the cotten is a bleach white. She wears two long-sleeves, one on each arm. The sleeves are sitatuiond from a start-armband and are cotten. They weave all the way down to a second braclet, and then end in a single ring on her middle finger on each hand. The jewelery is all made of mythril, but tempered to a distict blue. Each piece of jewelery has a small gemstone in them. The gemstone of choice is Cerulean Amber, that being a gemstone found only near high amounts of mists. The Amber reacts to mist in a way that makes it turn blue, otherwise in the light it shines gold like amber.
Ixella wears a pair of short-shorts. They are leather, and are neither lose nor tight on her, just comfertable and movable. They are woven with a amount of fabric giveing them some breath to them, makeing them very comfertable. She wears a leather belt just ontop of those, the belt itself carries her many accestoreis that she brings. Whilst not pictures, she puts sacks of herbs, or bags, or puts Machina on it(rather then on her back). She can also holser both her guns on the back of it. Attached to the under-side of the shorts are strips of cotten that clip into her stockings that reach to the high of her theigh. There are two clasps and strips for each stocking one on the back of the shorts and front. The stockings are a bleach white. She wears two leather boots that are soft. They are about calf-high and form into a pointed tip at the toes. They have a disticve buckle belt on each one, and a etched motiff. The Motiff is a rune that collects mist to it and lets Ixella mvoe much faster then the avarage person. Overall her outfit is set up to provide her with mobility, and it does just that with a still admarable amount of protection. Makeign her very surviable.
Personality: Well Ixella can be described as only "Ixella". Her complexity of personality is attirbuted to many depths of resolve. On the top layer you find her to be a very kind, loveing woman. She can be motherly, if not massivly mature. She looks at the world in a light of optimism, and enjoys doing so.
On another layer is her scientist half. Willing to research a subject for days dilligently and without fear. Ixella can almsot be atributed to the careing doctor complex. She always is looking to make things easier on people, as well as help people however she can. Some would find this personality odd for a sky-pirate. But she did grow up poor, and as a sense is empathic to those in need. Never would she let anyone die, or would she kill. Even her marks have value and life...This is some form of compasion or another that really makes Ixella stand out.
Ixella would even give up her last bit of food and water for a starving being. She has a very strong issue with racial prejuduce, but always tries to remain calm. She loves to debate, and loves a good challange. She loves to be 3 feet ahead of the rest, as well as loves looking at the bigger picture, and the details at the same time. She enjoys finding solutiosn to any problem, as well as riddles and otherwise difficult things. Challanges deserve nothing more then to be overcome, and she is detirmed in that regard.
Ixella is ingenious, being a woman of master intelct. Some come to her for wisdom, despite her young age and other come to her for genearl help. She will always be the shoulder you can cry on, whether she knows you or not. That makes her gulable...but she still tries to be the best person she can be. She is moral adjusted to chaotic-Good. She is as good as she can be, but sometimes she goes outside of the law. This is why some view her as a bad person...
Ixella loves nothing more though, of all things...then being free. She hates feeling tied down, and hates feeling like she is stuck in one place for to long. She never knew this until she escaped the labs, and now its like a creed. She has to be free, or she is eteranally going to fight and fight and fight to be free. She loves to do as she pleases, to help others as she deems to. She loves walking where she wants and not feeling boged down by a "job" or "comitment"...She does as she pleases and how she pleases.
History: Ixella was the only child of two poor and otherwise homely people. Her father ran a shop in Old-Archades, and her mother was a dress maker. Ixella was born and lived till she was ten in the poor-and-otherwise Podunk location known as Old-Archades. Whilst it was not a very rich-existence it was a ok one. She grew up liveing of what the community had as a whole, she learned from the older men and woman, and otherwise has a humble life till she was 9.
9 was the magic number where that all turned around. You see Ixella had always been exceptionaly brilliant. You see she rounded up tons of scrap metal, and a piece of fire magicite, and after countless hours...she made a oven. I know brillient right? The oven itself was very idffrent then normal ovens becuase it did not cook things useing flame, rather it used heat from the fire to bake the food. Whilst this sorta-creation was fine and dandy, and had already been made. Ixella produced a wave of ventalion systems to bake food faster useing the raw heat, rather then raw flame. It was very ingineous, and soon it caught wind. She ended up makeing tons of those ovens, and many in old-archadia loved them. Where she got the materials few know, even she does not remeber where.
In trueth she was stealing them...Stealing them from Archades, and when they found out they went to collect the miscreant. Turns out they were so utterly amazed by the stoves that they at once sent Ixella to be inspected by the top doctors to see if she was smart. The stoves you see shortly after that caught wind in Archades, and everyone of the richest people had to have one...even if the never used it for anything. Ixella was proud of this accomplishment, and this small victory is what changed her life forever.
She was given a full-lifetime scholarship to Archades's best school. The doctors proved her to be extreamly inteleignet, far beyond that of any at her age. She went to school and whilst it was tough, she stayed there till she was 14. Her entier time in school she was groomed by the Archadian goverment to soon join the ranks of the briliant minds of the Droknar Labratoiries. When she was 15 she got sent of on a vocation trip to learn the art of Alchemy, since it would benifit the whole labritory to have someone who could essentialy bea chemist.
She trained for two years and when she turend 16 she got sent to the labratiories. There she went on to quickly make a name for herself. She started off at the bottom of hte ladder..but before long she reached into being hte head of sevearl sub-developments. Her time there let her craft the Muses as well as she oversaw the Machina Project(even though she was the only one working on it)..and in the end even was commitioned to work on the bahumut. She also became a lead reseracher on Nethacite...and in the process created the Fusion-Crystal. A manuafactred nethacite and a crystal combited into one. It always absorbed, but always had power...It was a new breakthrough some say.
Eitherway the Fusion crystal was eventualy dropped for its not being cost-effective, and that is when Ixella learned of the Nabudis destruction via file... She learned that whatever she made was going to be used as weapons. She was ignornet of Droknar's war-machine intrests. She knew they made weapons, but she thought it was for defensive purposes. When she learned the offensive and war-applications to her creations Ixella quickly formulated a plan to leave. Thankfull she had never given her plans and designs up to the labratory mainly becuase she did not view them as "done"...So she took all of her plans, everythign she made from the Muses to the Fusion-Crystal and destroyed them. At that point the girl in a labcoat had two options...Find a way to escape, or die trying. They would have killed her for delibritly destroying years of resaerch for she was now 21. She was in the labs for many years...
In the end Ixella escaped. Useing her latest machina Eldrich she espaced that awfull place. After that Ixella joined the sky-pirate group known as the Phantasms...She became the Mechanic, as well as the overall weapon and medic in case girl. The phantasia became her ship, and she made sure to make it a beauty of magickal engineering. Much of her life after that point was open skies. Discorving anceint things, and learning and repairing and overall Freedom with the Phantasms.
Much of life was fun after that. And for the first time ever, Ixella was actually doing things that felt good. She had no more doubts over what she was doing when she stole particularly expensive things. Mainly because the Phantasms were a group of helpers, they stole, sold, and aided the poor. And Ixella was truely happy. And that went on till the great Bahumut fell from the sky, and Ivalice was ushered into a new age of peace.
From that point on Ixella was contracted by Rabanastre to oversee the Bahumut's destruction. Mainly she made sure that it did not interfere with nature, as well as made sure it was never flyable or usable against by removing every single and essential part from it. The salvaged parts made rabanaster much money, that was later spend and used to help the undercity. Becuase Ixella specificaly called for that.
Then the Merge happened. Ixella was not at all ready for it, because she was aboard the Phatnasia alone at the time, the sudden mixture of the worlds cuased the Phantasia to crash, in otherwise uncharhted lands to her. She was unable to fix it, and could no longer get ahold of her team. But something new did come out of this. New technology! So Ixella for a year now has been traveling the world, learning all the newest technologies, as well as searchign for the rest of hte crew. There were 5 of them: Nyx the captain, Alesia the Sponser/Interigator, Morix the second in comand and Nyx's husband, Ophilia the sage/Navigator, and Minaria the Medic. Minaria was found, dead...from a monster, and Ophilia was last found in Bhujurba keeping her studies up and otherwise stopping the adventuring...But the other three are still completly missing. It's up to Ixella to find them, and learn a few thing along the way! Who knows maybe she may make some brand new creation that really is amazing and could help every world!
Overview-The Engineer is relatively a Unique class. A mixture between a Gunner, Tinkerer, cannoneer, Blue mage, chemist, and Tamer all in one. The Engineer survives battle by relying on her Machina, the Machina itself is the weapon. The Engineer uses pistols as their weapon of choice, but it really is just for shooting with a few abilities mixed in. Machina is what really matters. She augments and changes around her machine to suit the battle. Whether it be outfitting it with turrets or melee capabilities. During battle the Machina can use blue-magic. The engineer has access to alchemy and can make potions to bombs and overall is a balanced character. With light armor, a high amount of health, range, and her skills and a pet the Engineer is an extremely survivable target. Her biggest weakness though is her physical-abilities. Being unable to fight in melee, only dodge or take a blow, not to mention having no-close range abilities. The Engineer has low-strength and is very weak to magical damage. They rely heavily on their Machina, which without would reduce their ability ten-fold. Their machina cannot be repaired without the Engineer being near her, and cannot be "cured" or otherwise fixed without being repaired. Restorative items and magic has no effect.
Alchemy-Alchemy is all in all the supportive mechanic. Inside of the command come many abilities from making potions and elixirs to bombs and mines. Ixella can also Mix loot to make potent creations to use against her foes. Alchemy otherwise has no other effects. Its mainly her Support abilities both offensively and support-wise.
Gunplay- Ixella explicitly does have access to Gunplay abilities. Gunplay includes a variety of skills such as trigger-happy, or pot shot. Many of the skills involve doing special things with her guns, such as increased damage, or hitting multiple foes. Gunplay skills or cost-effective and use little amounts of mists. Plus they are extremely easy to use, Ixella uses them sometimes.
Augmentation- This command lets her outfit her Machnia during battle. She can refit its arms, legs, as well as equip it with new weapons ranging from Machine-guns, to mortars, to cannons, to riffles. She can also use Augmentation to repair her destroyed Machina to a extent, and recharge its batteries when needed. She can also Utilize modes that allow her Machina to change in AI, changing how it perceives threat, and attacks, and defends.
Codex Matrix-- Codex is a certain ability that is included with her Machnia. Codex allows her to use many Monster Skills that her Machina has learned during its many fights and use them against her foes. Codex requires a nice bit of charge to use many of the skills, but they have many effects and can be extremely useful.

She is am aster of technology and uses it to her advanage both outside and on the battlefield In many diffrent ways. I suggest if yuo want to see more about her battlefield tactics see the class section at the bottom..but Otherwise she is a smart cookie.
Intelect/Adaptabilty-Ixella is extreamly smart. So smart that some view her as a bit of a know-it-all. She loves to learn, and loves even more to understand. I add Intelect and Adaptabillity because on the fly Ixella is known to improvise. Wehter she needs that now or latter she knows how to work the field of combat to work einterly to her odds...useing whatever is at hand. She is quite the smart gal.
Alchemy-Ixella is known for her mastery of Magic and technolgy. But she is not stupid to the arts of Alchemy. She did study under a Alchemist for a time, and becuase of this she is quite versed at useing simple salves to their maximum potency. As well as she knows how to take loot and transform it into tools for battle. Wether she is given a tooth and a flower, somehow she can make that into somethign to better the situation. She also can improvise and create consumables in combat without wasting her own stock, as well as create food and such outside of combat to buff and increase the effectivness of her allies. Her most potent creations are her "magi-bombs" created out of mist and loot magi-bombs can be tossed to create Powerfull magickal explosions...Such the like that it maches an actual spell-caster. She can also place magi-tech mines that activate like traps with the click of a button. She can also use Alchemy to give laydown combo feilds. These *feilds* can be utalized with her pet machine to create intricate combos that can benifit the entire party.
Machina: Eldrich-Machina, code name Eldrich is Ixella's monster if you will. She is a engineer, and when she worked at Droknar's Labratories she produced the first of its kind. Machina was the project name, and started out as machina code name Eldar. Eldar was flawed by a massive amoutn becuase it was unable to adapt to the sitauation. Instead Eldar was a lunkign work of magi-tech. It had sub-par intelligence. It had a hard time understanding voice comands...So Ixella went on to produce many incarnations...Until eventually she perfected it to the best she could. That Machina was known as Eldrich, and he is her most usefull tool. Whilst Its still not very smart, becuase of the Many test Ixella learned that maybe the reliabilty of the machine was the issue. Eldrich recieves orders via a wire-less communicator. Hence the communicator is voice-activated, and Eldrich responds to that. Eldrich is ruffly the size of Ixella, and a massive beast. It almost looks very monster like, much morel ike a Lizard with four legs, and made entierly out of circuitry and magi-tech. Crystals are embedded deep in the beast, and because of its build Ixella can activly transform it into many things durring combat. For example she can rework it to have a Turret on its back, or have it essentialy produce a Area that massive magical fields of damage is sent out of. She can even have him Explode...and afterwords he rejoins into a single form..abliet missing some parts so she reserves this function rarely. The most unique thing about Eldrich is the learning codex-crystal. Build deep in its systems...the Learnign Codex lets Eldrich actually activly "learn" mosnter attacks and keep them recorded. These attacks can then been listed on the Communicator that Ixella has, and can be selected for it to use. The Beast is powered by crystals, but indefintly is not entierly "energy-less" More pwoerfull attacks and etc require more energy. When the Machina runs out of power to fuel it, it reverts back to "back-pack" form..and reduces in size to a small pack. Magic helps condesnse all of the Metal and etc that holds Eldrich together and forms him into a portable-beast. In this mode he activly recharges via-mist in the air. It is made mainly of Fusion-Crystal core, meaning it can use Nethicite abbilites, and Magicite abbilites.
GunPlay-Despite being a reseracher for so many years, and a scientist, its funny to think of her as being "good" with a gun. But she is! Ixella always told herself that she would have to learn to use whatever she made and she made the Muses, so she learned to use them. Simple as that, it took her a few years but Ixella is a master shot, and even more so a master gunner. Able to unload tons of bullets in only a few seconds, or otherwise defeat a foe useing nothing but her guns alone. Ixella is known for being one hell of a bad-ass when it comes to fighting with pistols. In particular she can also shoot rifles, cannons, use mortars, and hand-bombs...But she lets those take a back seat for he simply because the pistols are her favorite.
Pilot- It may not seem it, but when you've seen enough airships, and crafted enough weapons for them, eventually you learn to fly them to. Ixella does know how to fly a airship(ivalician), and she can most certainly do it with expertise to it. Does she like to fly airships? No, in fact if someone else can do it she won't volunteer, but it is in her repitoire of abbilites.
Quikenings
{Alchemica}-Ixella activly Mixes two potions together in her hands. One is a wonderfull simi-glowing white pearl like concotion...The other in a flask is a sickly black-thick goop. She shakes them both up rather violently and then throws them to the foe. They meet mid-air crash and explode in a blast that shakes the very foudnation of the ground. The explosion decimates the foe. The unique concept behind Alchemica is that it produces a double feild, of both dark and ligh energy. Allowing her Pet Machine to do double the trouble.
{Trapped}- tick-tock.
{Death Penalty: Weapon Code;Nova}- Her most powerfull and deadly attack. Useing Machnia:Eldrich she inputs the last of her codes. This code activates Eldrich's Death Penalty Mode-whereas the great Machine begins to fall to parts, only seconds later to transform into a massive Cannon. Ixella jumps atop the barrel of the cannon and inputs another code into her communicator. Eldrich begins to charge, his crystals exposed beign to glow with massive light. Tons of mist is absorved like a vacuum into the cannon that glows so brilliently that it blinds Onlookers. The Magic forms into a massive sphere in front of the barrel and Ixella orders "Fire!" The massive ball of magickal energy is shot directly at the foe. The massive amount of magick explodes into a blast of electical and magical energy.
Magic:
Ixella does not activly Have magic in her repitoire. Rather she releis on mechanical things that are powered by mists..for this reason she does not have Spells or magic. She rtather uses magic to power her mechanical mayhem. Although her gun can be attributed with elemental affinities at her will Some say when she is in battle she can be seen with a disticve aura, golden hued and sparkles. When she fires her guns sparkles fly off of them, Gold and Blue respectivly...Hence the sparkles. The aura comes from her constant touch with the crystals and is just a highted area of mist around her body, nothing special.
Summon: None Machina: Eldrich is her active compainion why would she need another...Now the Scion "glyphs" on the other hand have potential she would like to try and extract, to increase the power of Eldrich. Its a theory of hers that power siphoned from a scion could give Eldrich new abbilites.So if she meets a person who has acess to a scion...Lol, there will experiments.
Appearance: Ixella is a rather tall woman. Taller then most men being five foot eight inches. She is curvy, or rather boxum. She is by not definition frail and small. Rather she is curved, and defined. Her face is a disticntive Rounded Almond face, with elegnatly placed features. A small, and smart little nose, and otherwise lightly pink lips. Her eye-color is a defined shimmering blue-that traits well with her lightbrown tresses. Her hair is cut short ending at her neck, and curls everwhere as it gets closer to the tips. Her bangs are rolled over her forehead. She does not wear make-up, as she hates it.
Ixella's outfit is far diffrent then what you would expect. She wears a leather onsomble. For example her top is a simple open-belly bodice. The top is suspended from a thick cotten strip that circles her neck. The bodice itself is leather, but the cotten is a bleach white. She wears two long-sleeves, one on each arm. The sleeves are sitatuiond from a start-armband and are cotten. They weave all the way down to a second braclet, and then end in a single ring on her middle finger on each hand. The jewelery is all made of mythril, but tempered to a distict blue. Each piece of jewelery has a small gemstone in them. The gemstone of choice is Cerulean Amber, that being a gemstone found only near high amounts of mists. The Amber reacts to mist in a way that makes it turn blue, otherwise in the light it shines gold like amber.
Ixella wears a pair of short-shorts. They are leather, and are neither lose nor tight on her, just comfertable and movable. They are woven with a amount of fabric giveing them some breath to them, makeing them very comfertable. She wears a leather belt just ontop of those, the belt itself carries her many accestoreis that she brings. Whilst not pictures, she puts sacks of herbs, or bags, or puts Machina on it(rather then on her back). She can also holser both her guns on the back of it. Attached to the under-side of the shorts are strips of cotten that clip into her stockings that reach to the high of her theigh. There are two clasps and strips for each stocking one on the back of the shorts and front. The stockings are a bleach white. She wears two leather boots that are soft. They are about calf-high and form into a pointed tip at the toes. They have a disticve buckle belt on each one, and a etched motiff. The Motiff is a rune that collects mist to it and lets Ixella mvoe much faster then the avarage person. Overall her outfit is set up to provide her with mobility, and it does just that with a still admarable amount of protection. Makeign her very surviable.
Personality: Well Ixella can be described as only "Ixella". Her complexity of personality is attirbuted to many depths of resolve. On the top layer you find her to be a very kind, loveing woman. She can be motherly, if not massivly mature. She looks at the world in a light of optimism, and enjoys doing so.
On another layer is her scientist half. Willing to research a subject for days dilligently and without fear. Ixella can almsot be atributed to the careing doctor complex. She always is looking to make things easier on people, as well as help people however she can. Some would find this personality odd for a sky-pirate. But she did grow up poor, and as a sense is empathic to those in need. Never would she let anyone die, or would she kill. Even her marks have value and life...This is some form of compasion or another that really makes Ixella stand out.
Ixella would even give up her last bit of food and water for a starving being. She has a very strong issue with racial prejuduce, but always tries to remain calm. She loves to debate, and loves a good challange. She loves to be 3 feet ahead of the rest, as well as loves looking at the bigger picture, and the details at the same time. She enjoys finding solutiosn to any problem, as well as riddles and otherwise difficult things. Challanges deserve nothing more then to be overcome, and she is detirmed in that regard.
Ixella is ingenious, being a woman of master intelct. Some come to her for wisdom, despite her young age and other come to her for genearl help. She will always be the shoulder you can cry on, whether she knows you or not. That makes her gulable...but she still tries to be the best person she can be. She is moral adjusted to chaotic-Good. She is as good as she can be, but sometimes she goes outside of the law. This is why some view her as a bad person...
Ixella loves nothing more though, of all things...then being free. She hates feeling tied down, and hates feeling like she is stuck in one place for to long. She never knew this until she escaped the labs, and now its like a creed. She has to be free, or she is eteranally going to fight and fight and fight to be free. She loves to do as she pleases, to help others as she deems to. She loves walking where she wants and not feeling boged down by a "job" or "comitment"...She does as she pleases and how she pleases.
History: Ixella was the only child of two poor and otherwise homely people. Her father ran a shop in Old-Archades, and her mother was a dress maker. Ixella was born and lived till she was ten in the poor-and-otherwise Podunk location known as Old-Archades. Whilst it was not a very rich-existence it was a ok one. She grew up liveing of what the community had as a whole, she learned from the older men and woman, and otherwise has a humble life till she was 9.
9 was the magic number where that all turned around. You see Ixella had always been exceptionaly brilliant. You see she rounded up tons of scrap metal, and a piece of fire magicite, and after countless hours...she made a oven. I know brillient right? The oven itself was very idffrent then normal ovens becuase it did not cook things useing flame, rather it used heat from the fire to bake the food. Whilst this sorta-creation was fine and dandy, and had already been made. Ixella produced a wave of ventalion systems to bake food faster useing the raw heat, rather then raw flame. It was very ingineous, and soon it caught wind. She ended up makeing tons of those ovens, and many in old-archadia loved them. Where she got the materials few know, even she does not remeber where.
In trueth she was stealing them...Stealing them from Archades, and when they found out they went to collect the miscreant. Turns out they were so utterly amazed by the stoves that they at once sent Ixella to be inspected by the top doctors to see if she was smart. The stoves you see shortly after that caught wind in Archades, and everyone of the richest people had to have one...even if the never used it for anything. Ixella was proud of this accomplishment, and this small victory is what changed her life forever.
She was given a full-lifetime scholarship to Archades's best school. The doctors proved her to be extreamly inteleignet, far beyond that of any at her age. She went to school and whilst it was tough, she stayed there till she was 14. Her entier time in school she was groomed by the Archadian goverment to soon join the ranks of the briliant minds of the Droknar Labratoiries. When she was 15 she got sent of on a vocation trip to learn the art of Alchemy, since it would benifit the whole labritory to have someone who could essentialy bea chemist.
She trained for two years and when she turend 16 she got sent to the labratiories. There she went on to quickly make a name for herself. She started off at the bottom of hte ladder..but before long she reached into being hte head of sevearl sub-developments. Her time there let her craft the Muses as well as she oversaw the Machina Project(even though she was the only one working on it)..and in the end even was commitioned to work on the bahumut. She also became a lead reseracher on Nethacite...and in the process created the Fusion-Crystal. A manuafactred nethacite and a crystal combited into one. It always absorbed, but always had power...It was a new breakthrough some say.
Eitherway the Fusion crystal was eventualy dropped for its not being cost-effective, and that is when Ixella learned of the Nabudis destruction via file... She learned that whatever she made was going to be used as weapons. She was ignornet of Droknar's war-machine intrests. She knew they made weapons, but she thought it was for defensive purposes. When she learned the offensive and war-applications to her creations Ixella quickly formulated a plan to leave. Thankfull she had never given her plans and designs up to the labratory mainly becuase she did not view them as "done"...So she took all of her plans, everythign she made from the Muses to the Fusion-Crystal and destroyed them. At that point the girl in a labcoat had two options...Find a way to escape, or die trying. They would have killed her for delibritly destroying years of resaerch for she was now 21. She was in the labs for many years...
In the end Ixella escaped. Useing her latest machina Eldrich she espaced that awfull place. After that Ixella joined the sky-pirate group known as the Phantasms...She became the Mechanic, as well as the overall weapon and medic in case girl. The phantasia became her ship, and she made sure to make it a beauty of magickal engineering. Much of her life after that point was open skies. Discorving anceint things, and learning and repairing and overall Freedom with the Phantasms.
Much of life was fun after that. And for the first time ever, Ixella was actually doing things that felt good. She had no more doubts over what she was doing when she stole particularly expensive things. Mainly because the Phantasms were a group of helpers, they stole, sold, and aided the poor. And Ixella was truely happy. And that went on till the great Bahumut fell from the sky, and Ivalice was ushered into a new age of peace.
From that point on Ixella was contracted by Rabanastre to oversee the Bahumut's destruction. Mainly she made sure that it did not interfere with nature, as well as made sure it was never flyable or usable against by removing every single and essential part from it. The salvaged parts made rabanaster much money, that was later spend and used to help the undercity. Becuase Ixella specificaly called for that.
Then the Merge happened. Ixella was not at all ready for it, because she was aboard the Phatnasia alone at the time, the sudden mixture of the worlds cuased the Phantasia to crash, in otherwise uncharhted lands to her. She was unable to fix it, and could no longer get ahold of her team. But something new did come out of this. New technology! So Ixella for a year now has been traveling the world, learning all the newest technologies, as well as searchign for the rest of hte crew. There were 5 of them: Nyx the captain, Alesia the Sponser/Interigator, Morix the second in comand and Nyx's husband, Ophilia the sage/Navigator, and Minaria the Medic. Minaria was found, dead...from a monster, and Ophilia was last found in Bhujurba keeping her studies up and otherwise stopping the adventuring...But the other three are still completly missing. It's up to Ixella to find them, and learn a few thing along the way! Who knows maybe she may make some brand new creation that really is amazing and could help every world!
Engineer
Overview-The Engineer is relatively a Unique class. A mixture between a Gunner, Tinkerer, cannoneer, Blue mage, chemist, and Tamer all in one. The Engineer survives battle by relying on her Machina, the Machina itself is the weapon. The Engineer uses pistols as their weapon of choice, but it really is just for shooting with a few abilities mixed in. Machina is what really matters. She augments and changes around her machine to suit the battle. Whether it be outfitting it with turrets or melee capabilities. During battle the Machina can use blue-magic. The engineer has access to alchemy and can make potions to bombs and overall is a balanced character. With light armor, a high amount of health, range, and her skills and a pet the Engineer is an extremely survivable target. Her biggest weakness though is her physical-abilities. Being unable to fight in melee, only dodge or take a blow, not to mention having no-close range abilities. The Engineer has low-strength and is very weak to magical damage. They rely heavily on their Machina, which without would reduce their ability ten-fold. Their machina cannot be repaired without the Engineer being near her, and cannot be "cured" or otherwise fixed without being repaired. Restorative items and magic has no effect.
Commands
Alchemy-Alchemy is all in all the supportive mechanic. Inside of the command come many abilities from making potions and elixirs to bombs and mines. Ixella can also Mix loot to make potent creations to use against her foes. Alchemy otherwise has no other effects. Its mainly her Support abilities both offensively and support-wise.
Gunplay- Ixella explicitly does have access to Gunplay abilities. Gunplay includes a variety of skills such as trigger-happy, or pot shot. Many of the skills involve doing special things with her guns, such as increased damage, or hitting multiple foes. Gunplay skills or cost-effective and use little amounts of mists. Plus they are extremely easy to use, Ixella uses them sometimes.
Augmentation- This command lets her outfit her Machnia during battle. She can refit its arms, legs, as well as equip it with new weapons ranging from Machine-guns, to mortars, to cannons, to riffles. She can also use Augmentation to repair her destroyed Machina to a extent, and recharge its batteries when needed. She can also Utilize modes that allow her Machina to change in AI, changing how it perceives threat, and attacks, and defends.
Codex Matrix-- Codex is a certain ability that is included with her Machnia. Codex allows her to use many Monster Skills that her Machina has learned during its many fights and use them against her foes. Codex requires a nice bit of charge to use many of the skills, but they have many effects and can be extremely useful.
