[IANTO'S SHADOW & PERSONA]
Jan. 9th, 2010 12:53 pmPersona Name: Plentyn-Newid
Description: Ianto's shadow's human form looks, as they usually do, like Ianto, but a lot rougher around the edges. Like Ianto would look if he just stopped caring about everything about his image that people associate with being him. He's making a silly face, but like this. It represents everything he's trying to hide about his background growing up rather poor in an estate house, always being a disappointment to his father, arrested for shoplifting as a teenager, a nobody. Ianto's shadow's true form is another thing entirely. Taken from the wikipedia page, a plentyn-newid the Welsh version of a changeling, initially resembling the person it replaces, but gradually grows uglier in appearance and behavior: ill-featured, malformed, ill-tempered, given to screaming and biting, seemingly of less than usual intelligence but actually identified by wisdom and cunning far greater than the norm. Historically speaking, mothers would use this myth as an excuse to get rid of burdensome or unwanted children. Ianto's shadow is greatly similar to this description, the unwanted child version of himself, dark and twisted. When fighting him, he summons a plentyn-newid version of your character, a dark and twisted child version of him or her that you need to defeat in order to get to Ianto himself while he gives them status boosts. Ianto's persona's form is still similar to its shadow form, except that where the shadow was malicious, the persona is merely confident.
Arcana: The Moon
Inheritance: Ianto is mostly a support character. His spells are Bufudyne (strong ice attack), Matarukaja (improve attack power for allies), Mediarama (moderate healing for all allies), Dekunda (nulls stat boosts for enemies), Resist Fire, Marin Karin (charms enemies to allies side), and Recarm (revives any KO'd allies). Marin Karin is unusually successful.
Elemental Resistance: Charm and Ice resistant, weak to Fire.
Level: Ianto represses a lot of baggage, so he's not to be taken lightly, but he's still not a huge fighter, so I'm putting him at level 52.
Posting this here for my personal reference, although feedback is always welcome!
