CHARACTER STUDY: ATBASH (updated 11/25/18)

Full Name: Atbash Cipher
Age: Over 1 trillion years spiritually, though takes on the physical age of whatever body she possesses. Currently, she is in a 6-year old F1 Savannah body. She is mentally 4 years old.
Death: Atbash is immortal and cannot die, though the body she possesses can die.
Background: Atbash was born in the Seventh Tier of Dimension FiveX, along with his brothers, Vigenere, and Caesar. She had a very normal life - or about as much as you could in the Seventh Tier. She was loved by her parents and was very well taken care of, although her family was starving. Atbash was happy living in the Seventh Tier, despite knowing how women were treated there. Females of the Seventh Tier were considered the lowest of the low outside of being exiled, and were very mistreated often. They were often sold off to get married to a random male in the Tier, and many females are unhappy with their marriage. Luckily, however, her parents were happily married and loved each other from the start. She always wanted to be a Shaman, although she knew that was highly unlikely. But when Vigenere had been selected by the King's Guard, Atbash had been happy for him, but noticed how upset and jealous Caesar was. She tried to comfort and support him, but she knew that Caesar would do anything for attention, and it didn't surprise her when she found out that he snuck into a Court Meeting. What did shock her, however, was Caesar's assassination attempt of the Shaman. Because of his attempt, the Cipher System (family) had been exiled.

Atbash had joined Caesar when he was first talking about raiding the Kingdom and killing the King, swayed by both of her brothers' feelings of rage and revenge. However, when Vigenere told her that their family (other than Caesar) could return to normal, her feelings changed. She wanted to go back to the Seventh Tier, even if she was going to be treated just as harshly there as she could being Exiled. At least she knew in the Seventh Tier that she would be taken care of, even if she had to forcibly marry a male. On the day of the attack, Vigenere and Atbash tried to convince Caesar to stop, however they didn't succeed. Caesar murdered the King and soon lit the Dimension on flames. Vigenere and Atbash thought Caesar left them to rot and fled to their home, finding their parents trapped. Atbash had leapt through the flames and tried to convince them to leave, but they refused to leave, and Vigenere had to drag her out of their home. Eventually Caesar dragged her and Vigenere out of the Dimension, just in time before it collapsed in on itself. He tried to manipulate them on the outskirts of their former Dimension, though she and Vigenere wouldn't budge. She couldn't go with somebody who didn't feel remorse for their actions, let alone kill their own parents! She just couldn't.

So she and Vigenere eventually ended up on Earth, completely unaware that Caesar was here as well. Vigenere and Atbash traveled together for a while, until Vigenere snapped at her one day and chased her off, telling her that he needed some time to himself to think. So Atbash walked off in an unknown direction. She had been guided by a couple of nice NPCs towards Snowbound, where she joined them on May 3, 2018. Soon after joining, on May 6, 2018, Atbash had her Marking Ceremony, which is a customary tradition of Snowbound. On May 11, 2018, she was promoted to Flurryhost and recieved the title of Duckling (now renamed 'Snowflake'), which is a title given to joiners who show promise. On June 3, 2018, she discovered that Caesar was on Earth and decided to avoid The Typhoon, despite Snowbound being attacked by humans. On May 29, 2018 she had a panic attack over seeing her brother. On June 15, she was given some gifts by Izuku, and on June 19, 2018, she was attacked by Caesar. On June 24, 2018, she had a nightmare about the attack, and was promoted to Arcticplayer on June 25, 2018. On July 5, 2018, she was OOCly promoted to Chief, and made the IC announcement here. On July 11, 2018 Atbash announced some changes to Snowbound, including the name of her current rank being changed to Hailcaller.

On July 23, 2018, Atbash saw Vigenere for the first time since she joined Snowbound, where he warned her about Caesar. However, a couple hours later, Caesar ended up attacking her for the second time. On July 24, 2018, she started to recover from Caesar's second attack. On August 6, 2018, she recovered fully from that attack. On August 9, 2018, She received a purple bracelet from Wendell. On the same day, albeit a couple hours later, Dimitri tries asking her out, to which she rejects.

On August 13, 2018, Atbash was attacked by Stryker when she went to visit The Pitt and on the same day, Stryker soon took over Snowbound. On August 14, 2018, Atbash lost her left eye due to Stryker pulling it out. The next day, Atbash finds herself in the medic den, very slowly healing from Stryker's attack. On August 20, 2018, she tries to walk for the first time after Stryker’s attack.

On September 3, 2018, Snowbound started to rebel against The Pitt and Stryker. On September 12, 2018, Atbash fully recovered from Stryker's attack. On October 7, 2018, .

However, on November 3, 2018, [url=https://beastsofbeyond.com/index.php?topic=7753.msg50988#msg50988]Snowbound was set to flame, destroying the place she had made home and try to make better. She fled, finding her way towards The Ascendants. Through a timeskip to a couple of days later, Atbash decided to talk to Pincher about the event. She finally settled into The Ascendants on November 8, 2018, and got a room in their observatory. On November 14, 2018, she adopted Coriander. On November 16, 2018, she visited Tanglewood as an Ambassador; this is her first time visiting her brother's clan since joining The Ascendants.

On November 18, 2018, she was promoted to Starstruck Guardian. On November 25, 2018, she was promoted to Lunar Lieutenant.

This will be updated as events happen.

Home: The Seventh Tier in Dimension FiveX was the lowest Tier you could be in, outside of being an Outcast. Her System (family) was very poor and her father worked as a farmer, while her mother took care of her and her brothers, being a stay-at-home mom. There are seven Tiers in total, with the First Tier being the highest - which consisted of the King, Queen, their children, and the Shaman. The Second Tier was the King's Guard, which is basically the military for the King. They protect the Kingdom as well as ensuring the King was safe. The rest of the Tiers were pretty much Commoners, although as the Tiers get higher, the poorer members in that Tier are. Their Dimension was at war at the time, although Atbash didn't too much about it since Vigenere refused to talk about it.

Atbash currently lives in Snowbound, which is a group that lives in a village on a tundra. You can see a more detailed description of their territory here.

Weather: Atbash's favorite type of weather is snowy and he enjoys the winter. The snow and cold weather remind her of home, and she enjoys feeling the snow on her pelt. Her least favorite season is summer, since it's so hot and humid.

Physical: Atbash is a F1 Savannah with a golden-orangish pelt and a short tail. She has black spots and eyes, as well as black ears and tail tip. She also wears a moon pendant that glows in the dark, which was given to her by Izuku. On this pendant, she also wears a charm of a duckling, signifying the title she earned. Her left ear tip is charred off, and she has a triangle brand on her right shoulder. She also wears a purple bracelet on her right leg, which was given to her by Wendell.

Weapons: Atbash doesn't own or use weapons, since she is typically a peacekeeper and prefers not to fight.

Reactions: Below are ways Atbash acts a certain way whenever she feels a certain emotion. Her emotions are hard to change and she's usually very happy-go-lucky.
Anger - Atbash isn't very easily angered, but one way to know that she is is by the way her fur is puffed out and the way she paces around.
Scared - Atbash is scared very easily, and her fur puffed out whenever she's spooked.
Stressed - Atbash, like all dream demons, bleed when stressed. They bleed from their nose first, then their mouth, and finally their eyes if the stress gets too much. Too much stress can cause dream demons to Corrupt, to which their body is constantly in stress, therefore is constantly bleeding from the eyes.
Rejected - Atbash hasn't been rejected yet, but once/if she does, it's likely she may retreat to her room for a while and think about things and be harsh on herself.
Happy - Atbash is almost always happy, and she always wears a smile on her face. Her eyes shine and her tail sticks straight out as much as it can (having a short tail can be rough sometimes), and her ears are pricked.
Hurt/Sad - Atbash usually goes to her room when she's feeling upset. One way to tell she's upset is by the way her eyes look and the way she holds her ears and tail. Her eyes become dull, and her tail droops (as much as it can), and her ears are lowered.
Confused - Atbash tilts her head when confused and her ears are pricked.

Motives: Atbash doesn't really have a current motive, as she's happy where she is right now. She would like to find Vigenere and keep in touch with him, and she wishes that Caesar wasn't the way he was. The most important thing to her is getting close with her family again, although that might be difficult to do with Caesar.

Failure and Success: Atbash thinks her biggest success is joining Snowbound and rising in the ranks there. Although being in a position of power isn't everything to her (as she's used to being treated as a lowlife in the Seventh Tier), she is happy and glad that Jacob promoted her. Her biggest failure in her opinion is not convincing Caesar to stop his actions in the Dimension FiveX. She copes well with failures for the most part and tries not to let them get to her, however sometimes they come back to haunt her. She doesn't measure others' successes against her.

Mood: Atbash is generally a very happy-go-lucky person and enjoys life. When she's alone, she usually just thinks to herself and reminisces on the past. Sometimes these thoughts get the best of her and she ends up having attacks or breakdowns, but luckily she knows that she has Snowbound to protect and help her. She isn't quick to anger and hasn't gotten to that point in Snowbound, but something that really irritates her is when people don't know that they're worth something, but she is easy to calm down if she gets to that point. Atbash is quick to react on situations, and tries to come up with a solution as quickly as possible. Her mood is usually determined by others' since she is a very reactionary person, but she will always try to cheer somebody up if they are upset.

Opinion: Atbash thinks love is a wonderful thing and she wants to be in a relationship at some point. She's almost "in love with love" and wishes she could be in a relationship with somebody, though sometimes this could end up with her in abusive or toxic relationship (which she hasn't been in one).
As for war, Atbash hates war and believes that both sides are usually right, depending on the situation. She believes that both sides should compromise and come up with something to put them at ease with one another. But she also knows that war is avoidable sometimes.
Atbash doesn't mind powers, although this is mostly because she was born with powers herself and has some. She isn't a fighter, and even if she was, it's likely she would be a defensive fighter and prefer to fight long-range with powers that don't do a lot of damage.
Atbash isn't religious, but she does respect those who have a religion and believes in something. She doesn't entirely understand the concept, but she won't voice her opinion out loud without being asked to.

Religion: As stated above, Atbash isn't religious and is an atheist. Snowbound, however, does have a religion and although she doesn't believe in it, she does respect it. In Snowbound, they believe in a list of ancestors and the titles given are based after those ancestors. Ond is a duckling and represents the Duckling title that was given to Atbash; Ond also represents potential and change and is peaceful. Medve is a bear and represents the Bear title; she is a war-bound person and represents the military side of Snowbound. Kanina is a rabbit and represents the Rabbit title; she is a warm and bubble ancestor that takes the form of a child rabbit. Hollo is a raven and represents the Raven title; he is another war-bound ancestor and heavily relies on strategy. Pipi is a bee and represents the Bee title; she is the ancestor of healing. Lumba is a dolphin and represents the Dolphin title; he pushes for positive relationships between allies and those within Snowbound. Teknos is a turtle and represents the Turtle title; he is seen as a grumpy old turtle and is constantly pushing for change. Draki is a dragon and represents the Dragon title; she is a wise old woman and knows every detail about Snowbound's history. Agu is a lion and represents the Lion title; he is seen as the 'leader' of the ancestors and is the most balanced.

Atbash doesn't understand nor know anything about the ancestors but she does respect Snowbound and their traditions regarding them.

Magic/Powers: Atbash does have powers, but most (if not all) of them were stripped when she traveled to Earth. Before she came here, she had the ability to travel between Dimension, as well as the typical dream demon abilities, such as telepathy and telekinesis (among other mind-controlling powers). Dream demons also have the ability to shapeshift and possess other bodies, and some can control elementals. Atbash had the ability to control air and water, though these powers aren't with her currently. Due to possessing a mortal body, any powers that Atbash uses costs energy from her, preventing her from using multiple powers at once and from using them in short succession of each other.
As of right now, Atbash only has reincarnation, conjuration, mental manipulation and communication, air elementals, and water elementals.

Perception: Atbash's view on the world is very positive and she believes that everybody is worth something and should be happy. She doesn't think the world should change, though people who are immoral should be talked to, to try and solve their insecurities and belief. However, she knows that some people will never change (such as Caesar), and sometimes bad people are just what they need for the world to stay happy. Atbash sees the glass as half-full and isn't cynical at all.

First Impressions: Atbash is a nice person from the start and usually people like her. She isn't mean to others unless she feels like she has to (which is rare) and is very trusting. She is friendly and cares about others, leading to people having a very positive first impression of her.
