-BACKGROUND INFO-

What influenced me to think of having the replacement character of Crista be a schizophrenic (or have two
personalities) is I was sitting in English and we were learning psychology of the psyche. General terms that
categorize one person mind are the ID, EGO, and SUPEREGO. For those of you who don't know Freud and
haven't taken psychology. The ID is your instincts, irrational, Dionysian side, or yin (for the eastern cultures).

This side will mostly be presented in wild parties where you do things you swore you'd never do in your life. Your
Superego is your conscience side. Your superego is kind of like your, "I shouldn't go to this party because there
will be drugs, alcohol and most-likely cops in three hours." Your conscious side is your thinking, rational
Apolloian side or yang. The middle, your ego, is NOT what it sounds like at first.

Many people on the board have egos that are too big for this board (-and I know some of you are pointing fingers at me, so I'll point them back you too =Þ) Anyway, your ego, in this sense is your "common sense." It's your happy medium. It's the balance that says, "Should you play in traffic?" Your ID would say, "Let's go!" Your superego would say, "Only on a bad day." (At least mine would) and your ego would find a balance between that and probably say, "Maybe next week."

So in that, hopefully not-so-confusing explanation is my basis for these two characters. One of them is a total symbol of ID and the other one a symbol of Superego. Now, another question is "Why would I put out two
extreme sides when I can have girl for a happy medium ego?" Well, only the admins should know that reason b/c I don't want to spoil it for all of y'all.

-APPEARANCES AND ACCESSORIES-

Nis-Nis: Similar to a cat, her golden eyes can be seen in the darkest on nights. A dynamic deep purple color falls at her waist naturally. Most of the time she wears golden clips to keep back her bangs from interfering with her vision. She has a dark brown leather, sleeveless, V-cut vest. She wears black pants with slits from the knee down creating a flare design. On her pants there is red at the edges and making little swirl designs. She wears black 3-inched platform heel knee high boots because even though she's a fighter she believes she should still possess some feminine grace. Her hair is half up and half down. She braids bangs and twirls her top hair together to form a high pony tail and her long curls fall from the bottom of her head hitting her shoulders and back.

On her arms, she has a golden wrap that begin wrapped around her thumbs and encircles around her arms up to her shoulder and wraps around her shoulder. These are her secret weapons that transform into a whip (Only used for fighting purposes). Her earrings are mini-bombs that allow her to get away just incase she gets into a situation she can't handle. These earrings are golden, dangling from delicate golden thread attached to the stud. Each little ball (about 3mm thick) hold enough explosive as a crashing airplane. Lastly, her final weapon is the fore-head cover which is similar to what the traveling gypsies wore. This is vital to her fighting capabilities, ability to recover and every day life. This mostly gold band has a couple pearls encrusted on the border. Dangling in a spacious chain mail manner is linked gold chains and encrusted on the middle at the tip is a ruby with the phoenix eye encrusted in the middle. Once this eye opens, it raises her powers to another level and shows that Nis-Nis is no longer a mortal, but possessed by the Phoenix God itself. Only in final life and death situations will this happened. When the closed eye glows her power level is raised. (This replaces Crista's arm guards).
 

Zuke: His Lilac eyes cause him to wear light colors to make him seem vulnerable and enhance in feminine qualities. His straight hair is either spiked up or down around his eyes in a messy style. Sometimes he has to borrow Nis-Nis' clips too. He wears a silver muscle shirt with black leather pants and wrapped boots. Contradicting his entire attire, he dons himself with a dark leather trenchcoat. This shows he doesn't like to trust people automatically.

Not as mundane and accessorize as Nis-Nis, Zuke prefers simplicity and practicality over wearing a bunch of covert jewelry. His first weapon of choice is also the whip, but it possess as an illusion of his belt (Again, only for fighting purposes). Hidden in his watch are the golden ball bombs that he scatters at will. Then to activate them, he presses his gold stud in his right ear. He keeps loops in his other three piercings to not confuse himself. Finally, he wears the same band as Nis-Nis does (minus all the chain mail and pearls), but on his right wrist as a bracelet and it's silver. When the Phoenix eye is activated and glowing, his power level is increased. When the eye is open, it is for the same reasons as Nis-Nis.

**Phoenix eye: This, for example, I will want to be used against Naar's minions and Naar himself. Not mortal fighter vs. Nis-Nis/Zuke.**
 

-PERSONALITY-

Nis-Nis: Very Id-like. She's unpredictable in her behavior. Since she gets her power from instinctual environments, you'll find her only at night or in dark, shadow areas. She can be found dancing in clubs, playing her favorite sports, playing her instrument in a tree or reading poetry with her legs dangling over a deep precipice over looking some overwhelming natural beauty. She doesn't like to get too close to people even though her hormones may tell otherwise. One day she may be a friend, the next she may not want anything to do w/ the same person. She knows she's not a real human since she's only one side of a psyche, therefore she thinks relationships between humans and her are not needed. She knows her reason is to act as the Death Essence and she needs her brother, Zuke, to balance her for the Death Essence.

Zuke: He's practical. He's the type that would walk across on a fallen tree instead of swim across the river (Nis-Nis would swim). Sometimes he can be a smart-ass, sometimes he can be very philosophical. His practicality makes him predictable unless he's willing to be clever to avoid intense situations. He thrives best in shining light and the day time. He doesn't like to trust people at first, but after getting to know them he tends to be very known. He prefers to keep quiet about his gender preference, even though he dresses rather obvious, and he'll only admit certain things to his close friends. He's mostly quiet and rather stay that way b/c he knows his existence is only temporary. He knows him and his sister must remain in the same body to act as a whole for the death essence. He knows he and his sister's only reason to be on earth is to act as a stand in for Crista. Therefore, he also doesn't like to get too close with others.
 

-HISTORY-

Why two extreme personalities pose in one body as one person at different times of the day? The next Phoenix Bearer hasn't been born yet and the Phoenix God knows in this situation, if Naar takes of Dazarian plane, what's to stop him from taking over the Immortal's plane of existence. He's sending his two best people to stand in the Death Essence title. The two occupy one body so there's not worry about one getting killed and only having half an Essence. Zuke is usually seen during the day time and rarely at night because that's when he's dormant and his energy works twice as hard to adapt to that environment. Nis-Nis is mostly seen during the night where her energy thrives best in dark places. The two are only going to be in existence until Naar is defeated. When Naar is defeated, the two will automatically die before the earth day is out and return to the Immortal plane. The two extremities are actually Crista's ID and Superego at it's maximum. Crista, who's already passed away, had her opposite personalities and Essence stored up in the Immortal plane waiting for the right time to return. With Naar entering Earth's plane wanting to wreak havoc, they need this final Essence to have a chance in stopping him.
 

-FIGHTING STYLE-

(Since they are also Phoenix related, they have the same style as Crista almost)

Fighting Stance: Relaxed. Quick on feet. Weight is placed balanced on both legs. Both arms are up. Fists knuckle tips are parallel to her eyes. Elbows are directly downward protecting her ribs and stomach. This is a basic kickboxing stance.

Normal attacks:

Basic punches, basic kicks as Crista.

Throw moves:

1) Uses her weight and momentum to roll on her back with the opponent over her and throws the opponent over her. (I've done it before and it's really cool!! ^_^) No, she can't throw the opponent across the screen like in EVERY fighting game I've seen. To get out of this, she rolls over her shoulder to get back up. Sometimes, in a quick situation where she faces more than one person she uses her hands and pushes her up. If another opponent is close by she'll push up with a kick to keep distance.
 

-SPECIAL FICTIONAL POWERS-

Chi Blast: While flying through the air attempting to get closer to opponent, Crista gathers up internal energy or chi and usually explodes it right into neck or solar plexus. Move must be performed against person's body. (Same effect as Kikoken, but it can't be suspended in air) ß This is the same as Crista's previous chi blast.

Shadow Flash: Teleports to the shadow of the opponent or chosen object. If someone/something has a shadow the two can teleport to it and use it as a sneak attack. Both can also cause their bodies to become translucent since their bodies aren't really theirs.

Scorpion Sting: A set of three attacks to the neck that cause the person to lose their ability to breathe for a few seconds or block the nerves reaction to a certain part of the body. If the person is already low in energy, this attack could almost kill them. (This has potential for instant kill technique so this move will only be done more than once to immortals)

Phoenix Kindle: Set any desired object ablaze. This includes people. (Pretty much self explanatory. Again, has potential for instant kill, but it isn't.)

Nis-Nis' "Scream": (Nis-Nis move only) Her wraps around her arms glow and jump off her arms at the opponent tying them up. The wraps are made of a material not known the Earth and the only way to stop the wraps from cutting off circulation or choking is to attack Nis-Nis herself.

Zuke's "Wink": (Zuke move only) His belt breaks into three equal pieces and once thrown at the opponent wraps them up usually around the neck, elbows and knees.

Omega Inferno: The transfer or acquirement of energy b/t anyone and the two. This happens when Black feathers come out of their backs, surround them entirely and then a brief silence of a few seconds occur. Finally when the silence subsides, the black feathers turn to fire and shoot out toward the opponent turning into little birds. The fire birds enter the opponent and drain him/her of energy. The birds fly back to them and enter their body disappearing and leaving the opponents energy within her.

Resurrection: Eyes glow yellow. Black wings come out of her back and encircle her briefly. When the feathers open up, they can fly as well as teleport, use fire on their free will, drain and acquire energy from their enemies by the fire birds or by physical touch. She isn't human at all in this point. One con of this power is when they're finished using the powers either of them are unconscious for three hours. In this three hours they are coming back to life.
 

-TAUNTS-

Regular Taunts:

1) Blows a kiss. Fire in shape of a heart comes out. This is only toward guys!
2) For girls, the two curtsey.

Phoenix Taunts:

1) Flies up and sits in an invisible chair suspended in air.
2) Juggles the chi blasts whistling a circus tune.
