-Carries around a small burlap bag tied to her waist. The bag holds small clay statues in the shape of various beasts, most statues are the size of a marble.
-Carries around a basic-looking whip; the only thing out of the ordinary about is a small gold insignia on the handle, representing her clan.
-Basic hand-to-hand combat abilities, just enough to keep herself guarded for a small amount of time.
-Clay Armor : Unable to be seen at first, her body is encased by a thin, yet incredibly durable, layer of clay.
Weaknesses (Click to Show)
-Her clay armor, while incredibly durable, takes days to be replaced, so will not regenerate in a battle. Once it starts to crack, it is easier to break. Also adheres to the same rules with weather as her clay beasts.
-Her hand-to-hand combat skills are only barely acceptable. She is not strong enough to win an actual fight, and depends a lot on her beasts for confrontation.
-She is unable to create clay beasts on the spot, seeing as they take hours to mold. Once she runs out of her beasts, she must rely on her combat skills and whip alone.
About the Beasts (Click to Show)
Olivia’s clay beasts are quite extraordinary. They come in all shapes and sizes, each with a unique purpose. Olivia herself has separated her types of beasts into two categories. Common Types are the ones she uses without hesitation; the figures for these are about the size of a marble, and can be molded within a mere few hours. Rare Types are a bit different; these are stronger, faster, and all around better in combat situations. However, the materials used for these are harder to find, and therefore there are less of these types in quantity. On top of that, these can take days to mold, seeing as the figures for these can be up to the size of a fist, so Olivia uses these very sparingly.
Here is a short breakdown of the different types of beasts:
—————————————
Common Types-
Brawler: Generally close to 7 or 8 feet tall, this beast is best known for its quick jabs and swift side steps. Its body is slim, giving it great mobility, but its power is sub-par, making it more of an annoyance that’s hard to hit for bulkier opponents.
Jet: A rather versatile one, this beast has not only the ability to fly at high speeds, but its slender, bat shaped wings allow it to slice through the air and even some objects. Its durability is rather low, and will instantly begin to shatter if it hits something it can not slice through, or is attacked directly.
(Example: Rocks yes / Metal no)
Guardian: Just as the name implies, this beast is used for protection. Its arms are shaped like half of a shield, and when the arms are held together a certain way, they create one, larger shield. The clay that makes up its arms is thick, and can withstand quite powerful attacks. Unfortunately, this beast is slower than others, and does very little attacking.
Cannon: A rather peculiar beast that is shaped like a lizard. Its head is in the shape of a gun barrel, and it launches materials that are gathered by its tail. The tail itself is hollow, and able to store materials, such as clay balls that Olivia makes; or it can gather materials from the surrounding landscape and compress them into large pellets in its stomach before firing them at incredible speeds. The biggest flaw with this beast is its most powerful weapon: its head. Only able to face one direction with no flexibility in the actual “barrel”, attacks from above, below, or behind are good enough to completely destroy this beast. It sacrifices durability for speed, allowing to it crawl on the ground quickly, but able to take less hits at the same time.
Sprinter: Incredibly thin, all limbs for this beast end in a sharp point. This particular beast is known for its speed and lethal stabs; however, its speed is relative to the terrain. For example, it’s incredibly quick on smooth surfaces, generally gliding around with ease. It has a harder time maneuvering on rocks, but is still quite adept. In sand, it is almost completely motionless, only able to take large, slow strides as it tries not to lose its balance. Its durability is average, and can take a few hits, but generally does its best to avoid attacks.
Rare Types-
Twin: The fastest of the beasts, this creature typically comes equipped with four legs, and a pair of pincers on its front. Quick swipes and lacerating grabs are its specialty. However, it lacks strength, and is only average when it comes to durability.
Berserker: The strongest of the beasts, this particular “monster” has incredible strength. Its arms are massive, approximately 2 yd/m in diameter. Unfortunately, what it makes up for in absolute power, it lacks in speed and aim. With its rather stubby legs (in comparison to its arms), this beast is often a bit unbalanced, therefore hindering it from making fast movements are attacks. Its attacks are powerful, but they are nothing if they can not hit their target, which is a decent possibility. This beast has above average durability, allowing it to keep bashing.
Bulk: This most durable, and largest, of the beasts, this giant shield is used for the sole purpose of protection. Massive arms and legs allow it to shield attacks from above, below, and just about any other direction, without nearly any sign of breakage. The downside to this massive beast is its inability to move very fast, or at all really. Once it has grown, this beast will typically stay in one spot, only moving one limb just barely fast enough to protect Olivia. It is mostly her job to weave around this giant in order to find protection.
(NOTE: This beast typically stays on all fours, constantly providing cover from above. Will stand on legs alone if the need arises.)
——————————————————————————
Aside from individual faults, all the beasts share general weaknesses.
HEAT: High temperatures, either caused by normal or abnormal means, will slowly begin to dry the beasts. This decreases their durability, making them more fragile creatures. However, this takes excessive amounts of heat, and does not happen quickly.
MOISTURE: Even though they are grown from being dropped into liquid, excessive amounts will begin to erode the beasts, eventually turning them into nothing more than a puddle of brown sludge. Between that time, their attacks may become slower and less powerful, but only gradually. Like heat, this takes time, and is relative to the original durability of the beast.
——————————————————————————
OTHER NOTES:
1. Olivia’s bag is only so big. She typically carries anywhere between 5-10 common types, and only ever 1 rare type at a single time. The distribution of the common types typically depends on the battle, who she is facing, and what the terrain is like; however, she always has at least one of each common type in her bag. She typically likes to double up on her faster beasts.
2.The amount of time it takes for the beasts to grow depends on the size of the figure. For example, common types typically grow in seconds, but a rare type can take up to a max of two minutes to reach its full size. The amount of water present does not matter; almost any amount of liquid is enough to activate the magic within the figures.
3. While still in figure form, the beasts are damn near impossible to crush due to the compressed materials and magic that they are made of.
4. Olivia has no quarrel with riding her creations, especially Cannon and Jet, and will tend to do so for quick relocation.
Appearance (Click to Show)
-Her skin is tanned, with a very soft red tint. Gold runes line her arms and neck, a single gold insignia sits in the middle of her forehead. Her eyes are yellow. Freckles dot her face sparingly. Her hair is frizzy and light brown in color, typically pulled back in a sloppy ponytail.
-She is rather tall, with a slender frame.
-Typically dressed in a yellow shirt with a brown leather jacket. She wears a dark brown pair of pants, accompanied by a pair of black, shin-high work boots.
-Her hands are small, and the tips of her fingers are almost always noticeably caked in a small layer of mud or clay.
-BEASTS: Made of clay, the beasts are light brown, with a slight hint of red. Their appearance is not uniform, even within the same categories of fighting styles. Their appearance is not scary, but neither “innocent” either, and they look different every time.
Personality (Click to Show)
Olivia is a rather stoic woman, and a bit of an introvert. She typically likes to keep to herself, her only company being the beasts that she molds in her free time.
Due to complications with her father and brother regarding power, she assumes that most to all men are downright obnoxious or do not have her best interest in mind. This results in her being particularly cold to men, and more supportive when it comes to women. In short, she's a bit of a misandrist.
Despite the fact that she supports women more than men, she still does not have a very good repertoire of working well with others. She tends to be bossy and condescending in groups. She does, however, plan on fixing this through time and experience.
Realistic. She cares a lot about winning a fight, but if she sees her odds of winning start to decline, or completely vanish, then she will resort to fleeing. Whether by negotiation or just simply running away, she values her life more than winning.
At times, she can tend to be quite cocky in her abilities, causing her to shout rather inappropriate things at her opponent, or those who she deems less than herself. However, this does not happen often.
Story (Click to Show)
-Olivia grew up in a very small village that was praised for its abilities to produce beast tamers. Olivia was lucky enough to be brought up by two of the most powerful beast tamers in the small village. Her older brother proved just as powerful as their parents. Olivia was the outlier, and did not have as near as much prowess as the rest of her family. However, she found her niche. She was given the power of Creation, a rare ability that allows her to give life and living properties to small sculptures that she molds out of clay. Even after she exclaimed her ability to her family and peers, she was still not quite as adept at combat as her family, so she set off for the RHG system to train. She hopes to one day be able to return to her village stronger than ever, and maybe even become the chief of her village.

“All right! Up and at’em boys!” Olivia grinned, her hands digging around the little burlap sack she had tied around her waist. She picked three carefully and pulled them out of their confines, each little clay figurine held between her fingers. “Time for a little bit of training.”
With her other hand she reached down and picked up a little, wooden bowl that was filled halfway with water. She let all three of the little figurines fall into the water, and watched with a satisfied grin as the water began to fizz. The beast tamer quickly scooped all the little statues out of the bowl and tossed them in different directions.
“All right. On today’s agenda, we have…” She peered down at her hand where badly written words were scrawled across her palm, telling her which of her beasts were up to today’s tasks. When she finally recognized her own handwriting, she read them out loud to herself, “Jet, Brawler, and Cannon.”
Olivia lifted her head and looked around, watching happily as the small figures grew and took shape, piles of mud and clay wrapping around itself and growing larger with each second. Jet took shape first, with its massive bat-like wings laying on the ground like a shroud of mud. A distasteful, yet familiar, guttural noise erupted from the beast, bowing its head before Olivia.
“Okay, Jet. looks like your up first!” She exclaimed, running towards her beast. She stroked its head gently with the back of her hand as she jumped on to its back, sitting down and straddling its neck. “Just basic maneuvers today; nothing TOO fancy, got it?”
The beast made the same noise from before, and Olivia patted it in understanding. Her hands gripped around the horns that protruded from of its skull, and gently dug her heels into the sides of its neck.
“Up!” She shouted. With the command, Jet’s wings rose by its sides before falling quickly, sending the pair rocketing sky-ward. Wind whipped past the beast tamer’s face, sending her hair into a frenzy. Before long, the clay-beast opened its wings once more, and leveled out.
“Time for some fun, boy.” Olivia shouted, letting go of one horn to gently pat the side of the beasts neck. Jet purred in affirmation before slowly pulling its wings to its side. They dipped in the sky, arcing downward and gaining speed at a fast rate. The tamer’s vision became blurry, but she kept her eyes open, watching as the ground drew nearer with each passing second.
“All right, ease up and glide.” She shouted. Jet picked up on the command and unfolded his wings at the last second; the beast was built to be agile in the air, and its maneuvering was more than exceptional.
Olivia looked below them, the landscape was just mere yards underneath, but they were gaining distance at an incredible pace. The tamer patted her beast affectionately, happy to see her creation working perfectly. She checked their surroundings, looking for the perfect target for Jet’s basic attack. When she finally laid her eyes on a tall oak that stood at the edge of the little clearing, she whistled.
Jet turned its head towards the tree and shifted its body, using its wide wings to turn towards the target. Olivia tucked her body against the rough skin of her beast, lowering herself out of harms way as they began to pick up speed once more.
The beasts wings flapped once, twice, and they were rocketing towards the tree. Before long, Jets wings stood rigid out to its sides, casting a dangerous shadow across the ground. Olivia braced herself, clenching her fists around the beasts horns.
A sickening crunch reverberated through air as Jets wing crashed through the thick truck of the once tall oak, severing the top from its roots in an instant. The trunk fell backwards, toppled by the force of the hit, tumbling into other trees and various foliage as Jet flew away.
The tamer whooped and pumped a fist in the air before having to right herself so she would not fall off. Once balanced, she tapped the back of Jets head thrice. The clay beast began to flap its massive wings, and the duo descended back down into the clearing. The talons of her beloved beast sunk into the ground once within reach, and Jet settled itself down nicely.
Once she was able to, Olivia jumped off and landed on the ground, teetering slightly from being in the air. She patted the side of Jets neck, “Nice job, boy. You work perfectly.” With a grin she turned back towards the other two beasts who were waiting patiently.
“Who’s up next?”

(I'm very sorry for the messy formatting. I'm still playing around with a few things trying to figure out how to work everything here.. I'm also currently working on a demo, and will be trying to make this page look prettier so that when I upload my demo, the whole page will look nice.. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
