Description

Personality

Sophia is definitely tsundere in real life. Many would call her cold and cruel, harsh with words, and quick to scold someone for the smallest of things. However, she is actually
really nice if you ask those that have taken the time to get to know her. Anyone would guess that her poor and hard upbringing is most of the cause in her distant attitude towards others; though in the end it taught her a lot about being self-reliant in everything she does.

Her character in-game has its own personality however. Some might even say Sophia is being her true self with a smidgen of her tsundere attitude draining down to add some mystery and merciless power. Even though Galleta seems like a flirtatious woman with a slightly motherly side, finding this assassin may prove to be more difficult than most would think. Many times Galleta is seen and an attempt at following her is made. However, just when you think you cornered her she either comes up behind with a blade in your back or simply seems to have vanished into thin air. Some call her a ghost, a few a myth, and others a god.....Which is truly best to describe this majestic assassin? Well she leaves that up to the players and creators to decide.

Health Potion
Gives 60% of total health to the one this is used on.

Mana Ption
Gives 50% of total mana to the one this is used on.

Throwing Knives
If from the front hit chance is decided by using combined agility and perception levels; if the difference is 15 or more and there is a successful hit then critical is applied. If the opponent is not facing the direction the knife is coming from then the target must have 20 Perception over the thrower's agility to know it is coming; if the target does not realize it is coming they must have 20 more Agility points to avoid critical. Also, if the knife comes from behind the target must have 30 Perception and 25 Agility higher than the thrower's agility to completely dodge the knife. Damage is based on user's agility against opponents defense, critical is not decided in damage calculation step but one of the 2 previous ones instead.

Skills/Abilities: (Anything marked with a * is something that Sophia created via hacking to make things easier for herself and cannot be copied by the Copy Cat class.)
Passive: (Always active; no costs required)
Sixth sense: This allows the user to detect others within 100 yards but not able to distinguish between hostiles and friendlies. At 50 yards the user can recognize if the opponent is getting ready to attack or not and if they are focusing on the user or not. Hostiles are indicated with red arrows, friendlies are marked with blue circles, and unknowns are grey teardrop marks pointing to the person. When looking in the direction of the marker the person is highlighted with the corresponding color. Requires 120 Perception.
Assassin class only.

*Double Stat Boost: All stat boosts gained from items are doubled.

*Read-out: Upon looking at a player, admin, or creature Sophia can tell exactly what will be dropped upon death and what will not. It also gives complete information of the stats and if they have been modified. Base stats and stat boosts are also displayed. Item information such as supply/demand, store sell/buy price, street sell/buy price, and predicted prices for the next 3 months can also be accessed. All information can be looked at piece by piece or many at one time. By using this information Sophia can tell how reasonably fast the player should die to make it seem like she has not hacked the game as well as if it is even worth the time to do so.

*PvP stat adjustment: When fighting in PvP Sophia's actual stats lower to 250 or 30 above her opponent's corresponding/counterpart (i.e. attack/defense, agility, perception) stat; whichever is higher is what it is set to. This adds to the illusion of having not hacked the game. Health is the one that never changes, although what everyone (other than Sophia) sees inflicted to Galleta is altered to be proportionally correct.

Poison making: The user can make poisons. The poison can be in liquid or solid forms. Effects vary between damage over time (aka DoT), temporary paralysis, magic point value (MPV) drain, and temporary stat drains. In the liquid forms it can vary in thickness to allow it to coat blades or other points to being the same consistency as water. Require Assassin class and 25 Perception.

Bomb making: The user can create smoke, shrapnel, flash, and sound based bombs. In addition the user can add in poisons or potions for additional effects.

Rapid restore: Recovers from DoT effects 3 times faster than normal.

Activated: (Activated for one time instant effect; one time cost that varies in amount)
Mark of Death: Although nothing actually happens to the target, the user can use this ability to locate the target within 200 yards. Once the target moves 300 yards away Mark
of Death loses its effect. In order to use this one must have a total of 50 Perception. One time activation cost of 10 MPV.

Lacerate: The user makes a swift cut on crucial points of the opponent's body causing them to lose 5% of maximum health every post the target makes. The duration is 10% of the afflicted person's health rounded down. Minimum duration is 2 posts. In order to use this one must have a total of 30 Perception.

*Advanced Teleport: Once activated Sophia can have her character teleport to any location she desires to go. When arriving at her desired location Assassin in plain sight is
active right away.

Sustained: (Toggled on or off; costs vary)
Assassin in plain sight: When active the user's Perception is multiplied by 3. Attacking automatically turns this skill off. If this skill is activated then other boosts to Perception via skills are negated for the duration. Also while this is active the player cannot be seen on any minimap. MPV is reduced to a maximum of 10 while active.

Assassin Stealth: While active the user's Perception is multiplied by 2.5 and their maximum damage is 30% of the normal. Upon dealing damage this skill is deactivated. Activating this skill removes all other skill boosts. Uses 15 MPV per post.

History

Sophia grew up in one of the worst parts of the city as a child. Her father, David, was an abusive drunk (to both Sophia and her mother) that ended up drinking himself to death by the time Sophia was 11. Her mother, Jenell, never did anything to stop the abuse and even cried when David died. Jenell blamed Sophia for David's death and, for all Sophia knows, still does. In order to pay the rent and put food on the table Jenell had to resort to prostitution. As far as anyone outside the apartment room ever knew Sophia was home schooled. This, however, was not the case as Sophia had never seen anything related to school ever come in the front door.

Sophia was very bright despite this and taught herself programming and hacking while her mother was not home. Upon reaching age 16 Sophia was a freelance programmer for small companies that later built off of her ideas and started to make millions in profit. Her only charge was $100 per 5 gigabytes of programming. When Sophia turned 18
she moved out from her mother and never spoke to the woman again. Sophia got her own computer and paid in cash for everything she paid for, including the game called
Hero's Squal.

Sophia started the game when it the first day it came out. On her first day of playing she started out not hacking but still reached level 20 within hours of playing non-stop. After that she went for something more challenging.....hacking the creators of Hero's Squall. Sophia drained all the money they had and gave various problems in the game itself. Even though Sophia did this she had no plans of really holding the game and its player hostage. In fact she made a program to wire money from the money she took from the creators to keep the funding going.

This still wasn't enough for Sophia so she decided to hack her stats and skills to make her invincible. In addition she made it so that anyone that looked at her character would only see a normal level 20 Assassin class female character named Galleta.

While playing she started to help other players occasionally, but when someone tried to follow Galleta they would lose track of her in a dead end hallway. Thanks to this many rumors and nicknames came up about her. She was called things like a god by those that teamed up with her; a ghost by those that have only tried to follow her; and from those that had never seen her before, a myth. However, when the admins looked in on the character called Galleta they only found a someone maximizing the use of a level 20 assassin. Nothing about Galleta or the player, Sophia, seemed suspicious.
