OC Character Application
Character name: Ivanka von Kraginskaya
Age: 19-20
Gender: Female
Height: 5”8
Weight: 41 kg
Appearance:
At first, you’d never thought of Ivanka as a girl. She is flat-chested and her build is similar to those of a boy. Her hair is cut short like a guys with her bangs nearly covering her right eye. She prefers to wear men’s clothing rather than woman’s and will only wear dresses and skirts when needed. Though when she is given one, she’d burn them immediately. Ivanka has dark red eyes and light brown hair. She has a pointed nose and high cheekbones.
Her attire is just simple. A white shirt with a vest ontop and black pants most of the time. Or she sometimes wears a long coat and pants with boots if she feels like she’s gonna get into a fight sooner or later. But on top of that, looking like a boy is great for deception.
In short, she doesn't look like a girl even though she is one.
(I failed miserable at giving a description. Sorry for that. I’m still trying to design a character….
Personality:
To put it short, Ivanka is the type of girl who you’d see drinking out despite her young age. She is a total rebellion and will do anything, absolutely anything to get her way. She has street smarts after spending all her time drinking with anyone who offers her a drink or two. She can get a bit carried away when she’s drinking. She absolutely loves alcohol and feels like she is empowered by it. That’s why she carries a small amount with her all the time. Despite being a girl, Ivanka has a tendency to get into bar fights along with other men. She seems to survive those and most of the time avail as the last one standing. In addition to that, Ivanka has an addiction to gore and that won’t stop her from drawing out blood during a fight.
Ivanka can be sociable when she’s in the mood. She can also be a major flirt just to get a drink. She can also be very frank and merciless when it comes to speaking. She has a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to use it to intimidate foes or even just people. She also loves to curse and will curse in every conversation she has. Ivanka is also very cautious about money and that is the only thing that will stop her from anything. She can’t stand the thought of being away from her precious money. Aside from that, she also has a tendency to act like a guy and sometimes even flirt with girls.
Ivanka also has a habit of giving people her own nicknames. She may call you ‘Pig’ if you are fat and ‘Stinks’ if you really stink. Whatever comes into her mind, that’s the first thing she calls you. But of course, she also remembers your names. She also gives the same nicknames to other people and will just plainly call you that until she finds another nickname for you.
Ivanka has two sides of her. She can be either a good Ivanka, or what the others call her, a demonic Ivanka. She doesn’t get that mad easily. Her anger just builds up inside of her and when the time is right, she could strike you with a blow that could leave you in a bedridden room for weeks. Though, when she is provoked too much in a battle, she won’t hold back so easily. As much as her looks, her skills are also polished enough.
Ivanka also has a soft side in her merciless, stone cold heart. She often wanders around after waking up with a hang-over somewhere or after being kicked out in a bar and ends up talking to strangers regarding their problems of sorts. She’s like a wandering friend. Though she may listen, Ivanka has a hard time opening up and admitting the facts. One of the facts she hates to admit is having a soft spot for guys she finds cute. But that rarely happens. But overall, some people find it amusing to have around to mostly keep her around because she mostly entertains the people with her sharp tongue and frankness. Not to mention the attitude.
Ivanka knows how to use a little magic but mostly wields it by using blood. Though despite her background like that, she still prefers the fighting genre where she thinks she can wield out more blood. Though, it seems that her stronger point is when she can use both at the same time. In the end, she can get along with people very well.
Class: Assassin or Ninja? Whatever suits you guys best, honestly.

Strengths:
Extremely good fighter: she’s been living by herself for a few years now. She’s been into lots of fights and tournaments. Either close or long range, if you need someone to fight for you, she’s the girl.
Trustworthy: She can keep your secrets too. And if you piss her off, just wait for an envelope that has a letter blackmailing you.
Alert: She knows her surroundings too good. No one can barely hide from her.
Speed: She’s a fast runner. Especially when she’s being chased for getting into another bar fight.
Smarts: She never did finish school. But that doesn’t stop her from knowing a thing or two. She knows lots of strategies and fighting techniques; especially when you’re in trouble. She has both sophisticated smarts and street smarts
Informative: She can get her hands on most information. And she knows who to call and contact whenever you need something done.
Deception: Looks can be deceiving. Literally.
Weaknesses:
BOYS: She can get a bit too soft on them sometimes. But she isn’t tricked that easily. As long as she finds someone cute or she can get a drink out of, she’d be willing to cuddle up a bit.
MONEY: NO! NO! She won’t part with her money unless it is really necessary. If it isn’t, then she’d not bother with it anymore.
ALCOHOL: Just buy her a drink or two and she’d be in your hands. Though, she still tends to bit a bit too careful regarding this weakness of hers.
She tries a bit too hard: It just makes her seem she’s desperate.
She sometimes disappears all of a sudden: Another reason why she gets into bar fights. She doesn’t pay up and disappears most of the time.
Knack for trouble: She always finds herself in the middle of something.
History:
Ivanka was born as an illegitimate daughter from her father’s mistress. Growing up in a household where your mother would blame you for something you didn’t do, Ivanka had no choice but to spend most of her time away from her family. Once her parents were divorced, she spent the other half of her childhood under her father’s care along with her biological mother. As she lived with them, her parents taught her to always put family first. But her father always told her to kill anyone who dare threatens the family even though it may be her own flesh and blood. His philosophy of quickly eliminating any enemies as soon a possible was engraved into her very being.
Ivanka got into an academic program where she would be sponsored by a rich family having herself coming from a middle-class family. Her studies were going well and she was at the top of her game. She officially started to learn how to fight from the best masters and started to learn a little about magic. But she still preferred a sword in her hand than a book. During that time she even got into lore and mythology where she got interested in vampires and gothic vibes. That is until, there were some student who got a bit to jealous of her and started to influence her. They brought her to bars and got her addicted to drinking.
One day as she was coming home from a party where they served alcoholic drinks, Ivanka came home to find her parents arguing. Her mother was threatening her father by pointing a javelin at her father. Having just read a dark novel and drunk, she wasn’t in her state of mind and thus without thinking, she quickly took a lance and brutally lunged at her mother, the lance penetrating her body and killing her stone dead. Her father questioned her against her actions and yet, all she simply replied was:
“You always told me to kill anyone who threatens the family. To kill anyone, even though they might be family.”
Having heard this, her father kicked her out of the house. She was left to live all by herself. At that time she also dropped out of school. Wandering from place to place, and having only a small amount of money, Ivanka would usually find herself in the middle of street fights and whenever she won, she would get part of the winnings. One day, a man heard of this and decided to hire Ivanka as a personal bodyguard for a while. This only lasted for a while though because Ivanka also killed the man who hired her for some money issues.
Ever since, she’s been getting money from fighting. That is until her father died and part of his will went to her. But she still prefers the feeling of getting money when she fights. She’s proud of herself for that one.
Sample Post:
“Achoo!” Ivanka sneezed as she walked into a bar filled with all sorts of activities going on. There were men who were already starting to get drunk, others were making out with the prostitutes who were there most of the time. She sat down at the bar and ordered herself a drink. She had just come back from another round of fighting from the men of another bar. She hadn’t paid her bill again and they wanted their money. But she was able to slip out of it quickly.
“Gimme the strongest one you got.” Ivanka said quickly as she raised her hand a bit. The bartender noticed and nodded. After a few seconds, a drink was slid into her hands. It was a small glass filled with ice and liquid that reeked of alcohol. After chugging down her drink, she stood up and waved good bye to the bartender, not leaving any piece of money behind.
“Hey where are you going?!” the bartender yelled after her as she was already on her way out of the bar. She didn’t look back and just kept on going her way. He motioned to the two large guys who were near the exit. The two large men stopped her in her tracks.
“Where you think ya goin?” one of the thugs asked her.
“Pay up to the boss or else…” the other one threatened her. Ivanka just shrugged and tried to get pass by them. However, they both stopped her and pushed her to the ground, causing a few drinks to be spilled and tables to fall.
“Look guys, I just got out of another fight. Please don’t make this difficult for the both of you.” She taunted as she got up and quickly drank the drink of another customer. She wiped her mouth with her hand. The two large men started to lunge at her. She ducked and let the two men just fly to the other tables where a fight started once again.
“Another bar-war? Damn these crazy bastards…” she told herself as most of the customers in the bar started to join the fight. Ivanka didn’t know why though. Was it because they wanted to see some action or were they just stupid to pick on a random person whom they couldn’t beat? Whatever the reason was, Ivanka just slid out the door unnoticably and just walked away from the trouble. She has had enough for the day.
