Age: 16

Gender: Male

Blood Type: A+

Biography:

Tsumiki was born in Academy city and raised inside it's walls. He grew up around Espers and marvels of science, and in fact has never left the safety of it's walls. He is as much a child of the City as of his parents, so when the time came, nobody was in the least surprised at his powerful ability.

Besides that, he's a skilled cook and gets top grades in chemistry, physics, and Physical Education, and has pitch perfect vocal moderation allowing him to imitate any voice he's memorized, even female voices in the lower ranges.

Ability: Level Five - Free Movement

Tsumiki started out as a simple Teleporter, but over the years has advanced his ability to far more than that. Now, besides just teleporting, Tsumiki can change the effects of gravity for himself and anything he touches. He uses this aspect of his ability so much that often people forget he can teleport.

Extras: Tsumiki's left arm is a prosthetic, having lost the real one in a teleporting accident early in his life. It's heavy, so he often leaves it behind when he needs to move fast.

Gemstone
Micro/Macro Status Cannot be Determined

Appearance:

Name: Wu Fuwei (吳 福威)/Tommy Woo

Nickname/Alias: Tommy

Position: Chef, Delivery Man and Head of Woodles’ Noodles - Academy City

Faction: Woo Family Noodles - Woodles

Seat Number: 6

Nationality: Chinese-American

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Blood Type: AB-

Biography: If their espers are artificial diamonds, then the Gemstones are natural ones. That was how Academy City reasoned away the existence of these natural espers. Yet not all diamonds are created equal, while some can go for millions, others are cheaply sold for use in industry. These diamonds, known as borts, may sell for a measly 30 cents per carat, far from the luxury their companions enjoy. Thus it can be further reasoned that such borts may be a phenomenon that exists within Gemstones as well.

Enter Tommy Woo, a hapless newcomer to the city who has already been graced with an epithet, The Worthless Gem. Tommy's power is virtually non existent, and indeed may never have been discovered if not for a freak accident at the age of 14. The day started out like any other, young Tommy had just returned from his daily training at Ms. Zhang’s Fifth Street School of Wushu and Dance on 42nd and 3rd Street. As always he was immediately put to work helping with the family noodle business. His family had emigrated from Foshan, Guangdong, China to The Bronx when Tommy was merely 6 years old.

As Tommy was crafting new recipes for his mother and father he suddenly noticed his hands glowing green just as his father choked on some water for a split second. At first Tommy did not piece the two events together, however further experimentation soon revealed that at 00:52 EST each night, when Tommy’s hands glowed people stopped breathing for a fraction of a fraction of a second. This new discovery changed the course of Tommy’s life.

When he first revealed his newfound power to his parents, his savvy father saw the potential for a whole new world of business. Always well informed about the world, Tommy’s father had heard of a little place in Japan called Academy City where such powers were commonplace. Thus his shred father immediately shipped him off to Academy City in hopes that he might nurture this gift and further promote their family noodle business: Woodles. At first researchers greeted Tommy with open arms, as their preliminary tests revealed large amounts of AIM emanating from his body, a key trait for Gemstones. However that was the extent of Tommy's specialness as his power is so worthless that it could only be qualified as a Level 0.

Thus continued Tommy's story of crippling debt.

Now stuck in Academy City, Tommy continues his father’s wishes using a motorbike he received from his Uncle to deliver Woodles’ noodles to all customers in need for only a measly 200 yen. However when he’s not cooking or on deliveries, Tommy makes sure to keep up in his studies at Hybrid Academy where he has somehow remained unnoticed by his peers, although rumors of a unique Gemstone Transfer student run rampant. Still, no one has realized that this student is merely the weak Level 0 Tommy.

Oh and Tommy still makes sure to check in weekly via Skype to continue his lessons in Kung Fu with Ms. Zhang.

Personality: Diligent, Disciplined

Tommy Woo’s most defining trait is by far his diligent work ethic. From a young age, the elder Mr. Woo instilled in his only child the importance of hard work and perseverance. In all things Tommy strives to give 210% because a 110 is not good enough. This work ethic is what enabled Tommy to master the skills he possesses for he has never been blessed with any sort of innate talent. Nevertheless, despite Tommy’s hard earned abilities, Tommy prefers not to draw attention to them or himself. He likes to keeps his head down and focus only on his duties, having others turn their attention to him feels like unneeded intrusion.

Similarly he is extremely reluctant to fight and is thus rather quick in his attempts to defuse a situation with self deprecation and humor. It is not uncommon for Tommy Woo to deliver multiple warnings and explanations to any would be attackers. Dangerous around ladders, babies, etc. voiced by terrible dub of Christopher Walken over Jackie Chan (Sample: vocaroo.com/i/s1klXnnwHydk Curtesy of the Esteemed HereComestheSnow) Finally the needs of the customer comes first in all things and he will assist them in any way he can.

Dislikes:

Skills: As a result of his hard work and persistence, Tommy Woo is an excellent chef specializing in the many options provided by Woodles’ Noodles. Working as their only driver has also made him quite adept at zig-zagging through rush hour traffic ensuring the speedy deliver of his goods. Years of training have also left Tommy Woo adept at Southern Style Kung Fu and Dance. Other than that, Tommy Woo’s only real skills exist in his ability to work hard and think on his feet to best serve his customer.

Ability:Level 0 Auto Asphyxiation - As a Gemstone, Tommy is in possession of a power that has eluded the explanation of researchers. However, this is due in large part to how incalculable it is due to its reliance on arbitrary limitations. At precisely 13:52 AST(Academy Standard Time), Tommy is capable of stopping the breath of any person he sees for precisely .0032 seconds. As one can imagine, this power is useless. In addition, Tommy claims that his hands glow green every time he activates his power, however no researcher or outside observer has ever been able to verify this claim.

“Is it like a hiccup?” (Auto Asphyxiation): Level 0;
Special Skill: Consistency.
Signature Move: Failing
Disadvantages: It’s worthless.

Theme Song(s): youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8v55zla3Q

Extras: Tommy Woo has an assortment of cooking utensils that leaves at home. Other than these prized utensils and the motorbike loaned to him by his Uncle, Tommy is remarkably lacking in personal goods due to his crippling debt. His motorcycle is a Honda CD 70 the workhorse of Asia.

Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:


Blood Type: O-

Biography:
Sachiko was born and raised in academy city her powers as an esper was awakened and cultivated from a early age. As an orphan there was no one to care for her so the closest she got to a parental like figure was the scientists that awakened and tried to cultivate her powers. Despite that she was not really harmed by them nor was she really raised lovingly. Her powers was what they were interested in and as such they treated her with some kindness so that she would go along with their experiments. Though that was cut short when she turned ten and the funding was cut. She was sent back to the orphanage but still with her esper abilities she was at least able to forge a life for herself. She eventually rose and became one of the level 5’s of academy city something that while she is proud in it is mainly for the work she put into it rather than the rank itself.

Personality:
Sachiko has a very interesting persona, as her love for video games are quite unlike one would expect of someone of her stature. She has little care for the fact that she is a level 5 or an esper though she has been known to use it when the need arises. She is a kind person at heart, but can be extremely perverted when things get out of hand. She is also as her abilities would suggest a hot head and can anger easily at times.

Ability
Ignition Drive (点火ドライブ- Tenka Doriabu) (Pyrokinesis): Level 5; Micro

Special Skill:
Burst Flame (バースト炎- Hōshutsu(Honō)- Using and creating fire to act as a propulsion system boosting the damage and power behind punches or kicks. Beyond that it can be used to increase speed to a limited degree granting temporary flight (jumping higher than normal). It can be used to expel flames as a form of a ranged attack normally as darts of flame.

Signature Move:
Ignition Flame (点火火炎-Tenka Kaen)- Using the principle behind the fire darts from Burst Flame Sachiko creates a long lance of fire before throwing it. It travels in a straight line Burning through most items that gets in the way. It is a move similar in practice to the railgun but lacks the sheer piercing power the railgun provided. In times of need she can also use it as a sword should the need arise.

Ignition Rebirth (点火復活-Tenka Fukkatsu)- The AIM Field of Sachiko creates and generates heat that is comparable to most deserts. Items are heated up when they come in general proximity and is often used by Sachiko as a means of defense increasing the heat to tire enemies due to the heat allowing her to tire enemies before they start to fight.

Disadvantages:
Despite everything there is little recorded disadvantage beyond the increase in heat before she really activates her powers. Though like normal fire it can be put out by copious amounts of water.

Appearance:



Blood Type: B-

Biography:
Growing up in academy city Aria never had a happy family her mother died when she was seven. Even after her mother’s death he continued to work if not doubling his efforts so as such she grew up alone though from a young age her mother instilled a love and appreciation of music and instruments. At the age of 10 when her father suddenly vanished from her perspective though according to a letter received from the city she believes her father is alive and searches for him. This lead to her going and entering academy city to use their advanced technology to try and help her. She joined the academy to keep up normal life while looking for her father. Though in order to pay for expense of the house and living expenses she learned how to craft and make instruments of many kinds though she seeks to create a perfect violin going through lengths to gather different ingredients for the varnish and taking time to digging a hole and leaving it there for months on end to create the perfect finish for it. It during this time she picked up ballet and singing as well to increase her own music capabilities from being able to sing her own songs to dancing in a ballet to help her understand how movement can portray emotion as well.

Personality:
She is a quiet and determined person by nature who dislikes violence. To those who know her however she can be a kind and caring person willing to go through great lengths to help them. She values bonds above everything else and would do anything to help maintain the bonds she has. To many people she comes across as a sad person who is withdrawn from the absence of both her parents. Music for her is where she expresses herself since she feels that words can not pass through all the emotions that music can portray.

Ability
Pseudo Symphony (acoustikinesis): Level 4; Macro

Special Skill: Ghost note
- The ability to expand upon desired frequencies. With this she is able to control just how loud a sound can become with. This leads to mass damage to a large group of people she lacks the control to decrease the sound to make it where only one certain person is hit with the sound waves. In order for her to use said ability she needs vibration of a sound. She mainly accomplishes this through violins and other instruments.

Signature Move: Pseudo Stradivarius
- Using the same principle behind the her Ghost Note she creates a specific note while playing targeting a certain part of a person’s brain triggering with it sadness and other melancholic feelings along with amplifying the frequency of her music. This leaves the victim unable to move as she releases and damages them through the sound waves

Disadvantages:
- Most of her moves and her ability require sound in this case her moves are completely dependent on her instruments.
-Through sheer amount of concentration needed to control and amplify the sound it makes it hard to focus on things other than her music making it hard for her to fight back if they get close.
- To target certain parts of the brain and trigger that emotion the person needs to actually hear her music and the hidden notes within it for it to be effective. (Special)
- Despite amplifying the sound of her music the phantom notes for her special are quiet and thus lacks true range for it to be useful for anything else other than a finishing move. (Special)

Theme Song(s): Meaning of Birth


Extras: she carries a violin with her everywhere she goes and uses it constantly with her music playing and much more. The Violin is special in the fact that it can take a lot of damage from heat and physical abuse without really damaging it.

Esper

Burning Blood

Micro

Appearance:

Name: Karasawa Shinjiro

Nickname/Alias: Kawahara-han, Grape Juice, Kawa-Something-Or-Other

Position: None

Faction: The Student Body of Hybrid Academy, and don't you screw with 'em!

Seat Number: 19

Nationality: American-Japanese

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Blood Type: A+, because he's an A+ player!

Biography: A large part of his rough and straightforward nature can likely be traced back to his place of birth, none other than New York, New York. For the first five years of his life, while his father worked a high-end position at a tech company out of the Big Apple, Shinjiro was a rough and tumble son of the closest thing America had to Tokyo, A first-generation Japanese-American in a nice, but still tough neighborhood. Standing out a bit with his asiatic heritage and small smatterings of Japanese mixed into his English (Thanks, mom), Shinjiro quickly found himself at the center of scraps that erupted from bullying. And he found that he took to them like a fish to water. Soon garnering a reputation as not one to be trifled with, up til first grade Shinjiro found himself making fast friends.

Then Dad had to move back home, and little Shinjiro was tossed into Tokyo, and the process started anew. Now brash and headstrong, he quickly made a name for himself by habitually standing up to any sort of bullying or injustice he'd seen, eschewing the guiding principle of "mind your own business" for "that shit ain't right, quit bustin' my balls". Soon enough, just as many tried to make a name for themselves off of him (especially after hearing he'd taken up karate to boot) as found themselves defending their egos against his casual lack of taking shit from anyone he disliked.

One tumultuous year later, and our boy'd found himself living in Academy City, having show great potential as a dormant esper. Living on his own for real for the first time, he admittedly found himself lost in the freedom of it all. After a couple years of finding his way, the boy with burning blood now is established and centered, a high schooler at Hybrid Academy, her fiercest fighter and her most stalwart hero!

Personality: Hotblooded, Whimsical, Brave, Blunt

Seemingly at ease with living purely in the now, it can be said that Shinjiro takes each day anew, not being one much for planning or fussing over the details. Fuhgeddaboutit! Each day presents new challenges anyway, so he really should just go with his gut and what feels right to face them! Always willing to throw himself into whatever piques his interest, his excitability and flexibility belie a wicked streak of stubbornness, an indescribable drive to come out on top. This is only pushed to even further heights when you factor in his complete confidence in his abilities, holding self-belief like none other that at times skirts the boundary towards arrogance. Part wannabe hero of justice, part complete smartass, and all unfiltered, what you see is what you get, and he'll never back down on it!

Skills:
Kyokushin Karate! So much so that he joined the boxing club and got shown the door for kicking everyone in the head in the first day of sparring! With time and growing experience with punching faces as well as bodies, it's slowly starting to become Kickboxing!
Talking English! A Citizen of New Yooork~ New Yooooork~ until the age of 5, constant practice by writing and calling old friends from Japan has allowed him to naturally master two languages!
Not studying! Time away from parents in Academy city has made him a masterful procrastinator!

Ability: Whereas most espers externally control the elements, Shinjiro's power comes from within in the form of Burning Blood! Able to naturally control his body temperature by exciting his bloodstream, he uses 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit as a standard, everyday operating setting, but is capable of overclocking it from there! This produces the effect of raising his body temperature to heights of 1000 degrees, hot enough to weaken steel beams on contact!

Special Skills:

Heat Haze! All humans radiate some body heat, and Karasawa has weaponized it! With a combination of heat coming off of him in waves and steam emitting from the same pores that normally would produce sweat, at high body temperatures the air around him seems to thicken, shimmer, and feel oppressively heavy and warm! Can be used to wear enemies down, keep friends warm, or even evade red light cameras by muddling the picture (not yet tested, but in theory possible)!

Burning Charge! With an excited and hot bloodstream running faster than any normal man's oxygen is ferried at a much faster rate to Shinjiro's muscles when he's running hot, providing a boost in endurance and strength!

Disadvantages: At his highest temperatures, Shinjiro's Heat Haze becomes so oppressive and intense that it's both immediately dangerous to most others within short distances (roughly 35 feet), and it begins to hamper his own vision through the sheer thickness of the air around him, as if suddenly giving him nearsightedness. Additionally, his own temperature at a full blast of 1000 degrees often lead to things he touches getting burned of scorched, as he has no way to selectively transfer the energy.

As a result of these factors, he is found running at a nothing higher than a mild fever in his day-to-day life, and must choose the moments when he can turn up the heat carefully based on his surroundings.

Magic: None, 'cause that stuff's weird and he's an esper anyway.

Theme Song(s): Totally this He wishes. These, though.



Extras: Feels little connection to Tokyo, instead preferring to think of it a mid-way point between his two homes of New York and Academy City

Magician



Name: Alistair Mediean

Magic Name: Opponens808 | Who has two-faced fates

Position: N/A

Faction: N/A

Seat Number: 9

Nationality: American

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Blood Type: AB+

Biography: Now, Alistair's backstory is not too long or difficult to summarize. His childhood and early life were average at worst, his family is quite wealthy and more often then not Ol' Ali would live his life in luxury. He didn't have many close friends, but he had enough hobbies and toys to keep him occupied and distracted from any form of loneliness he would feel. Plus, those friends who he did have he actually got along with quite well.

Anyhow, when he was around 12 years old, Alistair was introduced to magic in perhaps the least fun way possible. His father had taken him to a museum while travelling in Britain, and while there they came upon an exhibit of old artifacts found in Mesopotamia. The 'Dup Shimati' or the Tablets of Destinies. Alistair had gotten too close to them and had set off an alarm, security had come in to see what had happened and all-in-all it was a pretty embarrassing situation. However, during this time Alistair had gotten even closer to the tablets and thats when things started to get a little wacky. The tablets levitated in midair, and all non-organic material near them began to dissipate and disappear. Meanwhile, sand started to fall from the ceiling and the panic kicked in. No one ended up getting hurt though, due to the intervention of a conveniently placed old priest.

The priest quickly stopped the magic reactions, pulled Alistair out of there, and tried to explain everything he could too him. Telling him he is one of those who resonates with the Dup Shimati, and should take up the mantle of 'Marduk' learn to use them and keep the peace. Now, Alistair thought most of what the priest was saying was complete bologna. However, the part about magic and learning to use it sounded quite awesome to Alistair, so he accepted the priests tutelage.

A couple years have passed since then and both because of his own interests and the priests advice, Alistair was able to become a member of the Hybrid academy. Through some ingenuity and luck, he has managed to create a more 'modern' magic that allows him to draw upon the powers of the stones without them needing to even be in the same country as him. He also managed to learn enough japanese to attend the classes without much difficulty.

Personality: Alistair is courageous; some would say unnecessarily so. He never backs down from a challenge, and he will try to complete an objective until he can't feasibly try anymore. Alistair is a decent guy at heart, but also is quite greedy when he can afford to be. His love of food and trinkets is also nothing to be scoffed at, he is a fashion master . He also has the bad habit of eavesdropping on others and taking mental notes on others. He is quick to make derogatory comments towards others, and enjoys some good banter. However, even if he throws some verbal shit at his friends, he doesn't always mean it. His social abilities are often found lacking in polish, and more often then not he can make people uncomfortable when he is around.

Likes:
-Accessories
-Sub-sandwiches
-Techno Music and most of its sub-genres
-History Classes

Dislikes:
-School Uniforms
-Rice in any of its forms
-Country Music
-Mathematics

Skills: Alistair is a decent repairman and can fix most simple tools with relative ease. Alistair also has a great memory, and is a fast learner. His body is slightly better then average, but compared to most combatants he might as well be the average joe.



Theme Song(s): Tfw your character has a cooler phone then you

Extras:Even if Alistair learns to use the Dup Shimati to their utmost potential, they are still much, much, much less powerful then the legends described them as. Despite his love of accessories and trinkets, he never adds any to the phones he uses to utilize the Dup Shimati. He only carries one phone on a regular basis, and maybe a second only if he knows the day is going to be a pain. Although the artifact is Mesopotamian, the language used in the phone's coding is latin.

Nickname/Alias: ハットちゃん "Hat-chan"

Position: Part-Timer

Seat Number: 11

Nationality: Japanese

Age: 16 (b. March 3)

Gender: Female

Blood Type: O+

Biography: A native of the city of Kobe, Japan, the girl known only by her surname or the alias of "Hat-chan" to her compatriots was born on the 3rd of March as the second child and only daughter of a shinshoku and his wife. As such, her upbringing was a typically traditionalist one, keeping alive the ways of the old country that was rapidly casting off the past in its rapid quest to stay ahead of the future. She learned a variety of things under the care of her parents, even helping out at the shrine her father was caretaker of from time to time. It was a rather interesting world in the oft-forgotten metropolis, and for a number of years, the hatted female was content in all she could do.

Yet when she was eight, her family decided that they would send her off to boarding school after a few ... disputes ... with the local organised crime families. And so Hat-chan packed her bags and flew across the country to the sovereign entity of Academy City, where she found herself utterly alone with nothing but a bag of hats, some cash and fresh clothes. The family friend that was supposed to pick her up had disappeared (likely into one of the City's crazy science experiments, because that was what a Kihara did, right?) and the only reason she had not been kicked out was that they'd fortunately given her a permanent residency visa before she was thrown to the hounds.

Had she been any other average, Japanese eight year old, Hat-chan probably would've ended up staying in one of the City's many orphanages, grouped together with the Child Errors whose lives would have been at the mercy of superpowered gangs and mad scientists. However, she was not a mere eight year old, and possessed the skills gained through her years of training and experience under one of Kobe's stranger priests, and so took to the streets as a beggar, utilising her cheery charm, young age and surprising eloquence in order to obtain the funds required for a really cheap smartphone. From there, the city became her oyster, as she slowly integrated herself into the workings of this Esper-filled world, making new friends and setting up a GoFundMe in order to further stabilise her life.

With these contacts in hand, it was easy for Hat-chan to find some unscrupulous figures willing to give work to prepubescent kids, and so began to earn money from the part-time jobs she kept diligently throwing herself into. It was a tough life, one that demanded all her attention and effort if she wanted to eat a dinner each night that wasn't a "MgRonalds Joyful Lunch". Minimum wage jobs kept her afloat and alive, but for a little kid with nobody who would care for her, it wasn't really enough. She had no free time to buy second-hand textbooks so she could learn, no disposable income for all the toys she adored, and not enough to even rent an apartment. Life was relatively stable, but she knew that if anything went wrong, her life would crash harder than the Columbia space shuttle.

It was quite fortunate then, that like the rest of her spiritual family, Hat-chan was an especially lucky gal.

When she was ten, Hat-chan's GoFundMe account (established with the assistance of MgRonalds' Free WiFi) struck gold, and she obtained enough money to obtain for herself a portable DVD player. This was pleasing for her, as she had always been an avid fan of superhero shows, and a nearby store was willing to sell an entire boxset on the cheap for her. So the girl, giddy in her success, waltzed into the place and obtained her prize, and had been waiting in line to pay for it when suddenly, things seemed to go wrong.

You see, another girl her age, who we will now call 若久 陽子 "Wakahisa Youko", shared the exact same interests as Hat-chan, and had also been visiting the store in order to obtain a cheap boxset of their beloved series. The problem was that the little miss was also part of a pretty rich family, and so a group of bad guys assaulted the store, intent on kidnapping the girl and holding her to ransom. As they were lacking in solid information on what exactly Youko looked like, they ended up kidnapping both of the ten year olds instead, deciding that it was better to be safe than sorry. So it was with only her hat and recently-bought boxset that Hat-chan found herself trapped in a dark room with a crying rich girl, who had, unfortunately, not managed to buy a boxset.

It was a trying time being held to ransom, even after their kidnappers had learned that no, Hat-chan wasn't the girl they were looking for. She was forced to stay in captivity in order to prevent her from blabbing, and because she was keeping Youko company (even for bad guys, the kidnappers were relatively gentle on the kids). With nothing else to do, the two managed to bond, spending two weeks discussing all sorts of random bits of kids' TV shows and arguing who was the cooler Disney princess. It was a remarkable experience for the young Hat-chan, as she had finally made her first actual friend in Academy City, even though it required her to be kidnapped at first. And so when SKILL finally discovered their location and freed them, it was with sadness and disappointment that she left her newest friend.

But the thing was, one did not simply help a rich heiress girl out in a time of great stress and trouble without benefiting from it, and it was during a hot summer day when she was twelve that Hat-chan received a text message from the Wakahisa family, who were willing to help her out of her homeless state in order to repay her kindness. Being the type of person she was (see: opportunistic), the girl immediately agreed to the deal, and was set up with one of the family's many butlers as a ward, which also allowed her to deepen and intensify her friendship with Youko, who was also quite glad to see her friend again.

Indeed, for the next number of years, they would attend the same middle school together, but unfortunately, all good things would come to an end, and their school life together was finished when Hat-chan was somehow accepted into Hybrid Academy, while Youko ended up in some posh private school that required buttloads of money to enter. This was a situation that coincided with the death of her guardian, and Hat-chan soon returned to her independent lifestyle (though with the buffer established by living in a stable household, her continuance of her myriad part-time jobs throughout those years allowed her to buy herself a cheap apartment to stay in).

And so, it was with a new home, a lot of new jobs, a spot at some karate dojo and a new place of education that Hat-chan started the next chapter of her life, now free of the wild whirlwind of a ride that her old world had been.

Or at least, if everything written above as according to her claims was actually accurate and verifiable. She tended to be a pretty hard girl to get a proper read on, so one must take everything with a pinch of salt.

Personality: Altruistic ~ Insightful ~ Warawa ~ Sweets Lover ~ Mysterious
A relatively carefree-seeming girl, Hat-chan spends her day to day life embracing the whimsical, almost-absurd world she resides in, whether it be through watching her powerful classmates at work or engaging in her numerous part-time jobs that would seem almost impossible to do as one person. Yet she is more than simply "one person", possessing remarkable and diligence and skill that would have painted her as a freak workaholic had one never seen her laze around at home. If she is given a job, she will do it respectfully and well, knowing that quality is something that matters in life, no matter how weird or irritating something could be. Few things really annoy her, as she simply seems to smile away at most of what the world throws at her.

Hat-chan is indeed an incredibly difficult person to get a read on, especially as she really doesn't engage in conversation beyond small talk with those who aren't considered her close friends. Her calm aura is seemingly ever-present, to the point where it feels as if she's serious about almost everything. She's responsible and and active at all times, but even then her lack of overt expressiveness keeps her from really being known by others. Simple competency (interrupted by bursts of hot-headed exclamations) seems to define our Hat-chan's person, and it is this view that most know her by.

Years of living in poverty and on her lonesome, however, have also instilled in her a sense of possessiveness, and Hat-chan can be incredibly protective of those things in what she considers her area of influence. Whether it be her own property (which she keeps incredible care of) or her friends (who she will protect no matter what), any hothead who dares hurt what is "hers" should really find someone to get them "outta here" before she explodes (with requisite finger-snapping habit to complement her points). Indeed, even despite her joking tendencies among friends, even they are not immune if they dare try and maybe snatch a few chips from her plate, as it was her who paid for it. She doesn't tolerate this kind of stuff lightly, unless you are incredibly close to her. Still, she's a generous and altruistic type of gal, and will help you out of a jam whether or not you asked.

It's just her thing.

Skills: A part-timer since her youth and former shrine apprentice, Hat-chan has developed a varied and eclectic set of skills throughout her short life. Indeed, her portfolio, bolstered by her tendency to work hard, consists of skills that range from mountain biking to great fashion knowledge to cooking to hardware fixing to leatherwork to lockpicking to communing with spirits and so on. She has solid grounding in many areas in life, but what seems to be most important in the cutthroat world of Academy City is her fighting skills (which have been influenced by a number of styles thanks to her tendency to accidentally find herself in bar fights while waitressing), which she continuously develops through frequent visits to the local dojo near her apartment.

Theme Song: Comical Hustle

Extras: She bought a plastic sword at Comiket once, and it serves as her "primary tool of defence". Her hair, though seemingly flawless, is actually black in its natural state (she knows a pretty good hair stylist who does this kind of stuff for cheap, mostly because it's his esper power to change the RGB values of things). Her ability to write kanji is also horrible, to the point where it is almost illegible.

She stands at a height of 1.53m and weighs around 42kg.

"For all have sinned fall short of the glory of God"

Raised in crime and sin, Anderson Jistudan, born Felix Anderson, is well aquatinted with the shadows and the seedy underworld of society. His parents were an American mob boss and a Yakuza princess, he has the largest "family" of just about anyone in Academy City, able to call upon both sides of his family.

Living in Sin City for much of his life, Vegas taught him gambling, bluffing and scamming from a young age. His paranoid father decided to supplement his son's "education" by training him in self defense and how to use a gun, soon put to good use once Anderson started to extort the other kids and poor drunkards for his first schemes. However, one of those children he beat the crap out of for lunch money happened to be the child of the police chief, who traced Anderson to his father and thus the mob he lead. Under the advice of her husband, Anderson's mother smuggled their child off to Japan, changing his name to fit in more, in fears of a police raid on their home.

Once in the land of the rising sun, Anderson was now introduced to the other half of his family, and magic. Under an inheritance by his dotting grandfather, he was giving the Tempore Duratus, the clock to stop time. And after a few years of rigorous, streamlined education through tutors and experience, Anderson had been taught everything he'd need to be the true heir of a criminal syndicate. Of course, his mother wanted Anderson to continue his education, at least for a cover up in the future, and searched for a school before coming across a certain academy in AC.

After the inital shock of seeing people summon storms and teleporting across roof tops, Anderson adjusted and adapted himself to his surroundings. Although the idea of living in a place where it seemed like a place where superheroes send their kids was still a unique prospect, he was back up to his old tricks and already building what would be his own cozy little posse within the city, supported by his family. Time to sin.



Any one who first encounters Anderson can immediately sense some aura of suspicion and dread around him, even if they don't know exactly why or his background. Along with this aura, instability follows Most often, he's set at a slightly antagonistic personality with varying shades of teasing, sadism, egotism and dark humor. With grand (if not slightly delusional) plans, he ruthlessly chases his goals, showing his questionable morality at these times. Having been connected to the dark underworld of cities since birth, he boasts a remarkable remains calm in life threatening conditions, sometime to the point of being obliviousness.

Of course, he never openly displays these traits, covering them with a very playful, charismatic attitude, showing a kind exterior (which he does have have to some degree behind all of that ulterior motivations). He does enjoy power flaunting at times and mild "bending" of rules since he usually can find a way out of trouble through one way or another.

Name: Cross, Rebekah

Nickname/Alias: Bekah

Blood Type: O-

Biography: Rebekah Cross was born in England, though it was not necessarily where she spent most of her time. Her father was a traveling businessman, while her mother was (allegedly) a mafia heiress, and as a result she spent much of her childhood traveling across the globe, visiting other countries and learning about their cultures. She had a particular fascination with their local variations on the supernatural; myth, legend, folklore, religion, all of it was riveting to her. Which is why it isn’t really a surprise that she learned about magic completely by accident, while visiting a small occult shop tucked away in the oldest parts of Yorkshire.

It took a little bit for her to believe it was real, but a demonstration from the (admittedly exceptionally low-level) magician that owned the shop was enough to convince her. It was from him that she obtained several writings on how magic worked, and began expanding her knowledge. Every new place she traveled she would search out the hidden places where such knowledge could be found, and began to test her own limits. Her knowledge was an incredibly weird mix as a result; the theory behind it all was completely consistent, but where she drew her inspiration from varied wildly.

Rebekah was fascinated, as well, with why the use of magic never seemed to catch up with the modern day. Attempting to digitize the production of magic circles. Items that proved useful could be incorporated into more mundane objects. Her experimentation was constant, as she honed both her own style and her own understanding. Magic, in her eyes, was a diverse and fascinating subject. Any group that tried to say there was a “correct” way to make use of it, or that one needed to be affiliated with any particular group, simply… baffled her. She actually found the idea to be quite irritating.

Eventually, her father took her on an extended trip to Japan. His company was establishing a relatively long term relationship with another business in the country, and he was selected to act as a sort of liaison. She attended a relatively ordinary private school for her middle school years, and continued to refine her practice of magic. Her previously Western style began to blend much, much more with the Eastern influences around her during this period. Some of it was intentional, and some of it was her environment bleeding through.

Hybrid Academy, when she learned of it, seemed the perfect place to be. She currently lives alone (with regards to human beings) in Academy City.

Personality: Quiet, and almost closed-off. Rebekah is friendly enough if you don’t earn her ire, but she isn’t particularly forthcoming with information. She’s generally perfectly happy to be left to her own devices. That’s not to say she lacks for social skills; she is perfectly capable in a social setting, she simply prefers not to bother. If she is holding a conversation past small talk and niceties, or genuinely listening to what you’re saying, it’s safe to assume you have succeeded in the rare task of earning her genuine attention. Aside from a few pet peeves, she’s generally a fairly mellow person. Injustice, prejudice, or abuse of power, however, are a surefire way to earn her complete attention in a fashion that tends to leave one wishing they hadn’t.

She is a firm believer that nothing is set in stone. Age old conflicts do not have to repeat, and the pitfalls of the past can be avoided. In fact, she outright rejects the very notion of predestination. Implying that anyone, or anything, controls her life but her is a surefire way to get your own philosophies rammed back down your throat.

Skills: Video gamer of the highest caliber, decent tech support, and an avid researcher of her passions. Master of dating sims. Rebekah’s curiosity has led to a highly eclectic accumulation of knowledge, but her skill in research has served her well in school. Beyond that, however, she is surprisingly skilled in armed combat, and passable enough in unarmed combat to defend herself. This stems both from her curiosity, and her efforts to become proficient in her chosen skillsets. Her skill with her choice of magical fields is surprising, given her mostly self-taught background, but it largely stems from an excellent grasp of magical theory. Theory that, through extensive practice, she can apply to her magic to keep it practical and efficient. Also quite adept at card tricks, for both showy and practical reasons.

Ability: N/A

Magic: Sorceress

Rebekah’s magic is, primarily, prepared ahead of time. Each card within her deck of playing cards is a carefully prepared spell, requiring only mana and an incantation of varying length to become active. Each card is single-use, unfortunately, requiring that she take the time to replace one when it is used. The spells draw on various aspects of cultures she has encountered in her travels, particularly the aspects that resonate with her, and carefully correlated to a suite and card number.

Given the amount of mana that her more potent cards require, however, their use is extremely limited. Rebekah is unable to use more than two of her more potent spells, these spells being an Ace or a Face Card, per encounter as well as three of her number cards. Any more than this would be too taxing on her.

Number of Distinct Spells: 14

Name: Brooklyn Hanako Dodger

Nickname/Alias: Brook

Magic Name: Caritas428, "He who steals shall steal no longer"

Position: None

Faction: None

Seat Number: 17

Nationality: Japanese-American

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Blood Type: A+

Biography: Brook doesn't exactly come from magic stock - or religious stock, either. Her dad lived in Los Angeles, the newest patriarch of a family with California money so old that the young girl would be hard-pressed to even name how their ancestors had made their fortune. The city lifestyle that the Dodgers had made their wealth in suited Brooklyn more than fine, but her mother had been a Japanese immigrant who'd moved to California expecting quiet beaches, palm trees outside the back window, and a place to drive a convertible around in peace. As the years rolled on, and it was clear that Brook's dad remained entrenched in California, this had its toll on the marriage.

Brooklyn, for her part, spent much of her childhood as the unwitting glue that kept them stuck in LA - which was ironic, considering that for her part the girl had grown up with a bug for travel. From her mother's stories about the city life in Japan she'd left behind, she thought it sounded pretty much like California, but since it was on the other side of the world it meant adventure! She visited several times with her mother before the age of thirteen (each stay lasting longer and longer in duration), where she finally settled down again to complete middle school in America, where she knew more people.

That wasn't to remain the status quo for long, though. The girl's other bug, besides one for adventure, was one for magic. Growing up in the heyday of Harry Potter and of the firm religious belief that 'oh man the old people in the Lord of the Rings were the coolest! The ones with the loooong long hair with the sticks!', Brook had always been fascinated with the idea that something as simple as a stick staff that could change the world around her. She asked for magicians at every birthday party, learned card and coin tricks so that she could 'get better and better,' until to her chagrin around age 11 she realized that only British people got to go to Hogwarts and get Sorted. By then, however, she had reached the age where she had started to grow out of things like tooth fairies, cutting deals with chocolate-shilling rabbits, baking cookies for Santa...and yes, even the idea of magic.

So she had a relatively ordinary middle school experience, broken only by another summer vacation to Japan with her mother before her ninth grade year. Surprisingly enough, it was one of the street magicians she'd finally written off as con men that helped her realize what people were capable of. Excited by his display of control over fire and her bottle of water, she asked the obvious question - 'So how do I have to wave my hand to do all this stuff?' He let the young girl screw around with her wrists for a few minutes before (for a paltry price, in the long run) he taught her the essence behind basic runic magic. Excited, she ran home and gave it a go, but her first attempts were just as paltry as the money she'd spent on lessons, and her summer devolved into scouring Osaka for any little artifact shop or magic store that she could find. On one instance, she struck gold - learning that the magic sticks staves and wands that she'd grown up wishing for weren't even necessary. All she needed to channel her magic was an item that every little girl from California used to dig herself out of the womb -

A smartphone!

But when she attempted to channel fire from her phone, it went about as well as one would expect, and only a screen protector of the first caliber saved her phone from being a melted slag of circuitry. The last three weeks of her summer vacation went into desperately looking for workarounds, until one day when listening to music she attempted a basic aerokinesis spell while listening forlornly to Bon Iver.

And promptly launched her suitcase through the window of their suite.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Tinkering with her playlists slightly, Brook found that with the added push of music - an intimately human force that can be as mysterious and ethereal as magic - her spells took on new life and intensity, with certain of her spells corresponding to genre and displaying power she'd never seen in anyone she'd gone to for help. Between her MP3 player and smartphone, she had two Silicon Valley-era sticks wands for use on her person at all times to boot! It was perfect!

Brook's gut feeling told her to go back to America and show her friends, but as most of her magic training had inadvertently occurred in Japan, she decided to stay and see what else she could pick up before returning home. Her dad was relatively understanding, but her mom's deep unhappiness with the city had been what drove her to California in the first place, and she stayed long enough to help set Brooklyn up at Hybrid Academy before heading back, reluctantly, to America. Now she's on her own for the first time in her life, and excited to see what else she can pick up.

Personality: Brook's a bit of a naive girl. Loyal, trusting, and talkative, she's guilty of a first degree count of not really knowing how the world works, and her wide-eyed enthusiasm for conversations on anything about anything only solidifies this first impression. This attitude extends to magic, which has always fascinated her on an innate level - even if her perception of it as a child was 'holy crap how did you make that coin go away and behind my EAR!?' and not the basic four elements. Espers, churches, and Gemstones have spent much of their life beyond her worldview, and she's not altogether incorporated them into that worldview yet. This accidental ignorance was a large driving factor in her enrollment in Hybrid Academy.

Despite her lack of knowledge about the arcane, she's not altogether unintelligent; in fact, spending much of her live in the American west, Brook was once described (admittedly, in a Facebook quiz) as the General Patton of street smarts. She's very social and dinner dates with friends are at the top of her list for 'best things on the planet.' Her cluelessness only extends to the scope of the world that she lives in, which, hey, is why she's going to school for it, right?

Skills: A skilled cuddler, musician [guitarmonica queen], and known delinquent – has been charged with 42 counts of domestic abuse against her snooze alarm in the past year alone. Maxes out thief archetypes in role-playing games [ironically loathes mages, who are assholes in bathrobes who need to learn what launching a fireball really entails], sniper qt in twitch shooters, and could probably carry a team in Rock Band if she had her arm twisted. Above-average chef; specialized at home in making sandwiches, pouring bowls of cheese crackers, and calling for pizza. Traditionally a jack of all trades when it comes to her magic thanks to her use of channel and understanding , but she's attempting to branch out.

Magic: As detailed in her biography, Brooklyn's spells are at their most considerable power level when she is listening to music that, to her, accurately calls to mind images of that power. As she's only been practicing for a brief period of her life, thus far this knowledge is restrained to the four classical Western elements. In addition, given the defined length of all songs, she is only able to cast up to two spells per each song, and must quickly shuffle her playlist to land on another song if she wants to continue casting.

Name: Smith, Sella
Nickname/Alias:
Magic Name: Veritas584 - "the one who renders fantasy unto reality"
Position: Part-Time Research Assistant, Student
Faction:
Seat Number: 13
Nationality: Indeterminate Eurasian Blood, Finnish National
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Blood Type: A

Sella is one of those increasingly rare occurrences in which an occupation-based last name actually indicates the family members' occupations. Naturally, it comes as no surprise that her family consists of skilled smiths. She was born and raised in a port town in Finland, among the families of the other members of her family's magic 'cabal' of sorts. Different from traditional cabals, rather than devote their efforts into devising spells based off of a specific mythos, they specialize in the construction of magical tools for other cabals around the world. So instead of magicians, really it would be more accurate to say that they're a bunch of magical arms dealers. Naturally, Sella's upbringing included the necessary training in order to initiate her into the magic side and mold her into a capable member of their group. In that regard, their expectations had been completely exceeded.

From a young age, Sella displayed great talent in the cabal's craft and, as the years passed and her talents were refined. However, she had also become a bit more than a simple prodigy: she had become a zealot obsessed with constructing tools. Her alien mindset born from idee fixe alienated her from her family and peers, but that didn't bother someone who didn't think much of others in the first place. What bothered her was her own dissatisfaction with her capabilities in spite of her prodigious skill. The efficiency of a traditional forge was insufficient, the accuracy of hammered metal was insufficient, the quality materials was insufficient... There had to be a better way to bring forth the ideal result envisioned by her mind. So she kept refining her skills. Mastery born through endless repetition. But even that wasn't enough. It seemed that no amount of crafting skill could reach perfection.

But that was fine. A mortal may despair, but a magician could adapt. So, drawing from the power of mythic blacksmiths and the properties of magical forges throughout legend, Sella devised a personal magic format by which she could achieve the ideal products, albiet not in the way she would have preferred. A few years passed and, despite showing no interest in joining Hybrid Academy or really any schooling at all, Sella was enrolled into Hybrid Academy. However, that's just a side-effect of her real purpose here: her family owes somebody in Academy City and didn't want to send anyone normal.

Absentminded, Stoic, Workaholic
A girl who possesses a complete, singleminded devotion towards (or perhaps obsession with) the concept of creation. A metalsmith from birth who forever forges not for the sake of battle or profit, but simple, selfish reason of "because I can and want to". A mentality that's hard to read and almost wholly indifferent to most outside stimuli. Yes, Sella is definitely somebody who possesses a personality that's difficult to deal with.

She's oblivious to social cues and what's going on around her and, being largely unable to read the atmosphere or understand the feelings of others, she isn't all too good with most-if-not-all social situations. Unsurprisingly, she's pretty terrible at expressing herself and mostly just says whatever comes to mind when spoken to, which often doesn't help her properly convey herself. It's probably for this reason that she both loves and cannot understand the concept of using abstract images while still having others understand the underlying meaning. A passionate artist who doesn't get art at all, basically. Either way, she isn't really opposed to socialization and doesn't go out of her way to avoid conversation, even if she doesn't go out of her way to start it ether. She's introverted, not reclusive. So yeah, it's definitely hard to talk to her, but not impossible. But let it be said that inviting her to an art gallery is a terrible idea.

If Sella does have anything going for her its her meticulous, hard-working nature. Even outside her area of expertise, she displays fastidous efficiency along with an absolutely insane work ethic in her dealings...Although, that's probably just so she can get back to what she really wants to do: working metal. Naturally, she takes pride in what she makes and, despite not asking for it, absolutely adores when others validate their worth. If something like that does happen, though, she'll just work even harder in an attempt to one herself up and earn even more praise. Basically, an endless loop of satisfaction and dissatisfaction that only stops once Sella forgets why she was forging in the first place and just resumes hammering out metal for its own sake.

Biography: As children most of us possess vivid dreams of heroism, a wanting to break through the mundane and become a part of the spectacular. Yet as we grow older we learn that these dreams are little more than pointless escapism. That instead of wasting our time on such fantasies, we should divert that energy to more productive ends. We should find our success in the real world, not the world of fantasy.

Dante was never satisfied with such cop out answers. Especially not when the land of the rising sun seemed to promise that adventure could be a very real thing.

Yet unfortunately for Dante, he was born in Italy, far removed and unable to enjoy the splendour of becoming an Esper. Not that such setbacks would deter him, especially not under the diligent tutelage of his uncle who served as his guardian ever since Dante’s parents passed at a rather young age.

If there was anyone in this world Dante was willing to bestow the moniker “hero” upon, it would be his uncle. The man not only carried himself with the grace of one, he was constantly willing to lend a hand to those in need. In many ways he was the ideal Dante strived towards, a humble man without need of praise or reward, helping others solely out of his own benevolence. Not only that, but his uncle consistently encouraged Dante to follow his dreams, regardless of the potential setbacks or the mockery of the world.

In addition to just this general display of goodwill, his uncle was also a magician, just not one with any actual powers. He was a stage magician, tricking the audience through sleight of hand and elaborate illusions to bedazzle and amaze. He filled the crowd with wonder, in hopes that the worries of their day to day life might leave them. It was under his uncle that Dante learned the skills of a stage magician. In addition, his uncle would take Dante with him on gigs in many different parts of the world. While these were mostly limited to America and Europe, they did further Dante’s own love for the myths and cultures of the world.

Unfortunately Dante’s relatively carefree life came to an end when a tragic twist of fate led to the death of his uncle. For a while Dante was crushed and left unwilling to pursue his dreams, but through a chance encounter with a real magician Dante regained the will to march forth. Remembering his father’s words to never give up, Dante dove deep into the myths of the world and eventually stumbled upon the secrets of Shiva’s Third Eye.

It wasn’t long after, that Dante found himself embroiled in the magic underworld and through a string of random adventures rife with setbacks, discovered the principles of his magic and added four spells to his catalogue. Not long after, he heard tale of Hybrid Academy and decided to travel there to hone his abilities.

Personality: Determined, Optimistic, Persevering

Dante’s defining trait, although not necessarily perceivable on a surface level, is his enduring optimism. He helps people because he truly believes that all people have the potential for redemption. This should not, however, be confused for naivete, Dante is definitely aware of how cruel some humans can be. Nevertheless, he does not believe that, just because humans can be cruel, all attempts to save them should be abandoned. He just understands that sometimes more effort must be taken to beat the sense in others.

That said, on the outside this doesn’t always come to light. Instead what is seen is a reserved boy, his mind often preoccupied with some new topic of interest. When around friends, allies and idiots he’ll often verbalize his frequent mental snarking. Often times he can be heard complaining about the weird situations he finds himself in, but none of this is out of ill will, he merely uses it as a coping mechanism. He is, after all, simply a normal person who worked his ass off to get into the world of the supernatural.

In addition, he often finds himself running into setbacks and numerous difficulties that force him to find a way to persevere. This has, along with his uncle’s teachings, has instilled in him a firm belief to never give up. Otherwise he enjoys long naps as a form of escapism and for the energy rejuvenation required by frequent long nights spent researching. This can cause him to appear quite lethargic on the outside. Finally, his ability to consistently get lost and cause problems is worthy of note.

Skills: Dante’s upbring as a stage magician has left him quite proficient at card tricks and other illusionist acts. Tricks like pulling a quarter from your ear, or finding your dollar bill in a lemon are child’s play to him. In addition he is quite knowledgeable of the histories, myths, folklores and legends of the world. He is good at thinking on his feet and solving puzzles, and is a rather fast runner excelling in extricating himself from difficult situations. Finally his natural curiosity coupled with the power of his eye leaves him with a decent understand of most languages with his most proficient being Latin, Italian, English and Japanese.

Magic:

The Third Eye of Shiva - Dante’s primary ability and the sole ability he can lay claim to as his own. Embodying the legends of Shiva and his rejection of desire, Dante’s own eyes have also transcended to a world of infinite wisdom and understanding beyond typical mortal scope. Put simply, Dante’s eyes are able to view and analyze all supernatural abilities be they Scientific or Magical in origin. In practice he can apply this to Esper Abilities, Magical Spells, and even Magical Artifacts. This allows him to glean information such as the laws by which it operates and traits like the strength and trajectory. In addition he is able to copy magical abilities he witnesses, however this comes with quite a few limitations detailed below. Finally his eyes also allow him to understand any written language. When in use, his eyes glow a red color and light blue magic circles can be seen in the pupils.

In terms of limitations, first and foremost, Dante is only able to copy a single ability at a time. In addition, it is generally far weaker than the original spell, as Dante is forced to reproduce the necessary preparations through artificial means. Typically this comes about in two forms, either an astral projection from his own eyes that will tire him out and result in a weaker spell, or by using his blood which his eyes will use as the medium instead. This is accomplished by Dante spilling his own blood which his eyes automatically shape into the proper magic circle. Unfortunately, while this can produce spells with power closer to the original, it is also extremely taxing on Dante’s body. In addition larger and more powerful spells will require more energy or blood further limiting his abilities as a magician. On top of all that, Dante has learned that he can create even stronger copies by offering up body parts or traits like his sense of smell, needless to say this level of sacrifice has not yet been attempted.

That said, Dante has alleviated some of the problems through a contract system with the 12 Western Zodiacs. Through these contracts Dante is able to permanently store magic he has seen and reproduce it at higher power levels at lower costs. To compensate, Dante simply has to invoke the proper chant and then pay the lower cost. That said the contracted Zodiac must possesses a degree of compatibility with the spell. However once contracted, the spell is permanently Dante’s and while he is able to further refine its power, he is also locked in. This forces him to take special care in deciding whether an ability deservers cataloguing. The current spells he possesses are as followed:

Extras: Dante owns an old Dagger, which, while more than capable of being used as a weapon, primarily functions as a means of fulfilling his contract and drawing blood. He also owns an old laptop, a large collection of books on mythology and folklore, and an old bicycle.

Magician- Micro

Appearance:

Name: Haruka Sakamoto

Nickname/Alias: The Paladin

Magic Name: Defensor777, Guardian of All

Position: Judgement

Faction: Church of the Holy Shield

Seat Number: 24

Nationality: Ethnically Japanese. His mother grew up on the islands before marrying his father (a second generation Japanese American.)

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Blood Type: O

Biography: Haruka was born to a family of soldiers and manly men. The Sakamoto family had always been leaders or elders of the Church of the Holy Shield, a fairly progressive non-denominational church based in the United States. Haruka was raised to be the model of how a man should act. Thus leading to his current philosophy to always give to others and enable their well being.

Haruka has gone through his day to day school life with such a philosophy in mind. Constantly engaging in peer tutoring and making sure everybody at his school had lunch money. It helps that school has traditionally come easy to Haruka allowing him to devote much of his spare time to the needs of others.

Personality: Haruka is an extremely generous person as seen in his constant attempts to raise his schoolmates grades all he can. This generosity carries on into Haruka’s daily life as he can often be seen lending a helping hand to all those in need. He is a firm believer in the strength of the collective effort of humanity.

When not philosophising about ways to save humanity through the power of goodwill and charity, Haruka is a relatively laid back person. He enjoys long walks on the beach while shirtless, unfortunately life in the middle of the city has robbed him the pleasure of walking on the beach. Instead his roof is covered in sand. He also loves superhero shows. At the end of the day, Haruka just enjoys helping everyone he can.

No two ways about it, Haruka sees himself as a paladin and acts like it. If he sees somebody else in danger he will do everything in his power to help, even if it causes problems for him later.

Skills: Martial Arts, Swordsmanship. Not a genius but smart enough not to struggle with the majority of things in school. First aid.

Magic: Haruka’s magic is based off of a combination of the European Paladin myths and Japanese monster slayers. Due to his style of combat most of his spells are the quick and simple type, requiring relatively little mana but having a limited area of effect.

Armor of God: Activated via a medium length chant this spell provides Haruka with an enchanted armor and blade. The armor provides a boost to strength, reflex and speed at the cost of a chunk correspondingly sized chunk of mana.

Momotaro’s Legacy: Through a medium length incantation Haura is capable of summoning the sword of the legendary oni slayer Momotaro. It appears in the shape of a katana with peaches worked into the hilt. Is especially effective against supernatural creatures and takes a medium sized chunk of mana to activate.

Holy Strike: A spell designed for use in the middle of a fierce battle, Holy Strike requires only a short incantation to use. When activated Haruka’s sword glows with a white flame and melts it’s way through anything in it’s way. Uses a small amount of mana and only lasts a single strike.

Holy Shield: A quick-use spell that requires only a short incantation. When used Haruka shoves a hand forward and an ethereal shield forms in front of it. It is capable of absorbing a surprisingly large amount of damage. However in order to concentrate that much mana the shield takes the size and shape of a normal tower shield rather than the more oversized version one would expect from a magical energy shield. Uses a small amount of mana and only lasts against a single attack.

Touch of Faith: A rather variable healing spell. The incantation remains the same somewhat medium length, however the level of healing done changes depending on the amount of mana used.

12 Peers of Charlemagne: Summons 11 ethereal copies of Haruka that join him for a few attacks. Requires a medium length incantation and consumes a slightly larger than medium amount of mana.

God’s Wrath: Haruka’s last ditch move. All of his mana is gathered up in a single spell and cast as a pillar of light that falls from the heavens and burns everything it touches to ash. Requires an extensive incantation and uses all of Haruka’s mana to activate. The more mana he has at the time the wider area the attack hits.
