COLOR NAME REFERENCE

Color name reference recognized. Cyzarine is a Russian name meaning royalty, which is most often related to purple.

APPEARANCE

That's... that's a lot of damage. I think I misjudged just how much Cyzarine had been through when I first read about her in RP. The appearance section is lengthy compared to many, but it isn't bloated, which I find very refreshing. It paints a very complete picture of her, it is highly descriptive, I can paint a maybe too clear picture of her in my head. No problems here.

PERSONALITY

The immoral killer. A classic villain trope given form in an anti-hero character. I would say it fits her almost scarily well. It is very inline with the Bluthardt family and her upbringing, especially considering the people she has lost. However, it is very good that she has evolved somewhat after the fall of Beacon, but still retaining that constant of Dust studies. No obvious contradictions. No problems here.

BACKSTORY

Oh boy. This one was a handful. As a character, Cyzarine has many pieces running at once, because her backstory is a heavy handed reason for her personality, as well as it involving so many figures. Even still, the narrative that has been built up for her is strong and grounded. I have to be honest... I am very impressed. Noted presence during Battle of Beacon. No stepping on canon toes. No problems here.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT

Weapon is within guideline specifications. We have a single, transforming primary in the form of Grand Magus and a single secondary in the form of Grimoire. The xiphos doesn't get enough love as a weapon, for how good it actually is. The weapon is well documented, has defined limits, it is well described in form and function. It has evolved as Cyzarine has learned more. It's dead on. As for Grimoire, it's the same story. No problems here.

As for her skills wtth her weapons, I was originally going to say that it is excessive. But then, I read it and found it very informative in a different way. The Dust Casters I have reviewed lately have always gone into the level of spell, instead of actually describing the spells they use. And I can say... they feel rather balanced, which I was honestly a bit surprised by. No problems here.

SEMBLANCE

Necro Ghost, as a Semblance, is something I was worried about reading the reviews from previous iterations of Cyzarine. But it seems that those flaws have been thoroughly ironed out. It seems like an extended Aura shields with additional form and function. And I like it a lot. And as a side note, it's interesting that Cyzarine has taken to train with Umi, considering their Semblances. An interesting match. As a whole, it has clear cut ways of operating, it has limiters in the form of a fatigue limiter, as well as a timed cooldown. No problems here.

CONCLUSION: ACCEPTED

'''Now, this isn't a rereview or anything, but if it was... I would be left speechless. Because honestly... I am thoroughly impressed with Cyzarine as a character. She has deep ties in backstory, building up a strong foundation for her personality and motives. She has a weapon that fits her and uses a base I wish I saw more. Her Semblance is tied to her in a unique way. All in all... She is so far the best character I have reviewed. I am a bit jealous. Dammit Jeanne.'''
