<hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Basic Information</span></span><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(https://static.zerochan.net/Shijou.Takane.full.1683117.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Character Name:</strong> Shiloh Tien<br/><strong>Nickname:</strong> Shy<br/><strong>Alias:</strong> None<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br/><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br/><strong>Height:</strong> 6'2"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong> 145 lbs<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Elderly Grey<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Dark Purple<br/><br/><strong>Esper:</strong> Phantom<br/><strong>Element:</strong> Dark<br/><strong>General Appearance:</strong> Shiloh is tall, lanky and very feminine. From a distance, some may even say she is quite beautiful. Up close, her youthful hair is a dull grey, her dark eyes drift from purple to black, and her skin unnaturally pale. Her lifeless skin is also cold to the touch, and since others can find this unnerving, she dresses very conservatively. Shiloh always wears tights, long sleeved blouses and high neck collars, often in black, purple or pink. Combined with her many fashion accessories (frills, bows, dried flowers, sometimes even animal bones), her attire makes her seem as though she is from a different era, or perhaps a library or study of sorts. There is nothing wrong with libraries of course, it is just that Shiloh does not look like a physical warrior, least of all with a bow and arrow.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Shiloh is a humble, gentle soul. She treats others with the utmost respect and gratitude. Though highly curious and spirited about others and the outside world around her, Shiloh tries to not cause a fuss or a commotion, and likes repeating her same routines. Thus far her life has been very sheltered and, as a consequence, she underestimates her own abilities and strength. Shiloh <em>is</em> however quite capable of taking care of herself and her enemies with her bow and arrow - as long as someone else is the hero at the end of the day. She was raised as a quiet protector and does so without fortune or even appreciation.<br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Shiloh is unbelievably calm and patient. Her compassionate nature makes her a wonderful advisor to others. In combat, this has made her a natural sharpshooter despite her small beginnings and resources, not that she is bragging by any means. Uh... Shiloh is calm without her bow too! She rarely becomes aggressive or angry at others, even if they say strange or hurtful things. Oh, and she may be tall, but she is quite flexible and quick. She can even shoot her bow and arrow with her feet! Not... that anyone would need to see such a silly trick. Shiloh can track animals pretty well, too. If there are animals, that is.<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Shiloh, as her name suggests, is soft spoken, gullible, and prone to daydreaming... She uses her bow much like a security blanket, and when not in combat, she hesitates in social situations. She listens too hard, and ends up pausing or staring at others for too long. Back in her home city, Shiloh aided others above and beyond herself. She worries about navigating life on her own, and if she made a foolish choice to leave and put her own growth first. Ultimately, Shiloh lacks self confidence. She has missed many opportunities and successes in her life because she believes she is not suited for fame, and is simply 'okay' at most things. <br/><strong>Religion:</strong> Quartet (<em>Shiloh, like most Oliarins, relies on Zodiark for guidance in death</em>).<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong> Shiloh hails from <strong>Oliarin</strong>, a small island city in the Northeast of Chronus. Centuries ago, Oliarin was a garish place of dark, brash rituals, full of brutal Viking-esque warriors who pillaged and ransacked other cities, until someone <em>wished</em> for Oliarin to become peaceful and amicable. The World Altar's fruit removed the violence from Oliarin, and its intimidating conquerors. Their muscular, physical bodies and minds were suddenly aged, shrunken and withered, rendering them absolutely dependent on the aid and generosity of their neighbors. Nowadays, the majority of those in Oliarin are still elderly, as the quaint, sunny island has become quite the tourist and retiree destination. Those who live in Oliarin, <em>the Elderly City</em>, are thought to be pleasant, but ultimately dull and feeble. <br/><br/>Shiloh's parents are elderly too, and without the blessing of Ultima, would have been unable to conceive a child themselves. Growing up as a caregiver in Oliarin has made Shiloh respectful and selfless (and agile, since most of the city's infrastructure is built for shorter, slower folk). In fact, she began using a bow to hunt beasts on the island when Oliarin's food import fees became too high for everyone to afford. She believes that you should never aid someone for glory or gain, but because it is an act of kindness. She was content in her quiet life in Oliarin, seeing herself as a companion to the elderly and the dying. However, when the opportunity of the Grand Tournament in Caerduja arose, members in her aging community would not let Shiloh turn it down. She needed to get out of Oliarin, see the world of Chronus, befriend others her own age, and start living her life for <em>herself</em> for once. Shiloh knows her safe community is, probably, right. But she also knows the grand prizes could help a lot of her old and sick friends back in Oliarin, if she was to, somehow, win...<br/><br/>Shiloh is the tallest resident of Oliarin, and the youngest by at least 40 years.</span><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Equipment &amp; Stats</span></span><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Occupation:</strong> Archer<br/><br/><strong>Weapon</strong><br/><em>Weapon Name:</em> Bare Bones<br/><em>Type:</em> Bow<br/><em>Tier:</em> Green<br/><em>Material:</em> Bone<br/><em>Bonus(es):</em> +3 PA/+4 MA, +4 MP<br/><br/><strong>Armor</strong><br/><em>Description:</em> Black tailored cape with grey floral and skull embroidery.<br/><em>Tier:</em> Green<br/><em>Material:</em> Cloth<br/><em>Bonus(es):</em> +1 PD/+3 MD, +4 HP<br/><br/><strong>Accessory 1:</strong><br/><em>Tier:</em><br/><strong>Accessory 2:</strong><br/><em>Tier:</em><br/><br/><strong>Tier:</strong> Green<br/><strong>Level:</strong> 2/10<br/><strong>HP:</strong> 14<br/><strong>MP:</strong> 9<br/><strong>Physical Attack:</strong> 13<br/><strong>Physical Defense:</strong> 11<br/><strong>Magic Attack:</strong> 9<br/><strong>Magic Defense:</strong> 8<br/><strong>Luck:</strong> 0<br/><strong>XP:</strong> 19/20   { <span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">XP Log</span> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=314200.msg15979373#msg15979373) }<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>1) <em>Spectral Shot</em>: When hit, Shiloh immediately fires a ghastly arrow at her attacker.<br/><em>Base:</em> Counter<br/><em>Tier:</em> Green<br/><br/>2) <em>Moribund</em>: Shiloh draws a deeply painful arrow (+5 PA), leaving her target closer to Zodiark.<br/><em>Base:</em> Climhazzard<br/><em>Tier:</em> Green<br/><br/><strong>Magic</strong><br/>1) <em>Grave Slumber</em>: Shiloh's silent arrow causes her target to fall asleep for 2 turns.<br/><em>Base:</em> Sleep<br/><em>Tier:</em> Green <br/><br/><strong>Items</strong><br/>1) <em>Potion</em><br/>2) <em>25 Gil</em><br/>3) <em>Tent</em></span>
