Tell us about yourself: Behold, for I am Samu. 35, Canadian, bad knee, usually some form of tired. I like Star Wars, toy collecting, video games, memes and shitposts. I'm EST, usually posting later in the evening and I'll warn you that I'll have sprints of activity followed by a week or so of nothing as I find work very creatively draining, but I do my best.

Character Name (Canon): Lina Inverse, from the classic 90s fantasy comedy The Slayers. Specifically, Lina is from the anime continuity, having come from not too long after the end of Evolution-R.
Tell us about them: Lina is known by many names in her world, some of them she's given herself (the Sorcery Genius), and others have been bestowed upon her (The Enemy of All Who Live), an adventuring sorceress who's traveled all up and down her world in search of fame, riches, magical knowledge, wealth, powerful relics, gold, excellent cuisine, treasure, and just to see what she can get up to. If you hadn't noticed, she's pretty money-hungry, and Lina usually makes her living hunting bandits and stealing their treasure that they stole too but trying to return their ill-gotten gains would be so much work better just keep it all for herself. But she's generally a good person, if materialistic and a titch self-centered, but she usually has companions to keep her on the straight and narrow. One of them is even already here and she will be fully exploiting him. Out of love, Zel! She's faced down monsters and demons and all manner of evil because it's the right thing to do, and because Lina can usually find a way to profit off it in the process!
Initial Ideas: Lina's not happy about losing all her magic, but she's a quick learner and isn't too put off that her new forms of magic are Kinetic and Green. In fact, she'll be focusing more on Green magic at first as she sees turning everyday plants into magical weapons of mass destruction as a challenge worth taking on. Kinetic's easy, compared to that. Her familiar is the Dark Lord Ruby-Eyed Shabranigdo, the embodiment of all evil in Lina's world and the progenitor of the Monster race (ie demons, essentially, not your run of the mill trolls or what have you). Or at least, a fragment of him. See, Shabranigdo was broken up into multiple shards eons ago by the Flare Dragon Ceifeed, and those shards were then sealed away in various places/people. Lina has tangled with one specific shard twice (she successfully killed it once in the first season but in Evolution-R it managed to come back from the dead), but this shard is the weakest of them all, not to mention the tiniest (he's about the size of a toddler), hence Lina's nickname for him of "Tiny Shabranigdo".
What is your favorite type of gemstone or crystal? As far as Lina's concerned, whichever one she can sell for the most dough. As for me, I like rubies, especially ones the size...of a tangerine.
