Strengths: ???

Weaknesses: ???

Catalyst: Unknown

Inventory: He always has on him one colorful suit or other. Aside from that, he doesn't seem to carry anything else with him, not even weapons or anything to eat.  

Familiar: Does not need one. 

Squad Name: Doesn't have time for things like these. 

Pesonality: There's only one thing known about this man in terms of personality. That he is incredibly gay. There are people who try not to make it too obvious, but Director A is not concerned by such things at all, and neither should you. 

Despite his sexual orietation, it is easy to fear this man. He is intimidating despite his usually calm face and stoic demeanor. 

He usually keeps both eyes shut, but there is something sure about this man. Whenever he opens his eyes, someone is certainly going to die. 

Backstory: Not much is known of him. It is known that he was part of the legendary war between angels and, well, every other race. The war that led to their extinction. 

The man was feared and rather known by the nickname of Crimson Blade, because he used his naked hands to kill angels and his hands would be painted red with blood. 

After the war, he's dedicated himself to be the director of Liseranna, as well as one of the most insufferable and meddling persons to have ever existed in the whole world. 

He likes to butt into the business of others and will often appear from right outside the ether just to tease an student OR to give them advice in really rare occasions.

"I can cure just about anything. Even wounds of the heart, if you are willing to forget."

Name: Mistress Rollanda

Nicknames/Titles: Head Nurse Of Liseranna

Age: 5,000+

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Asexual

Class: None. She is the Head Nurse of Liseranna and often teaches young Medela mages on how to use their powers.

Ranking Class: Nurse Class Magician

Magic: Medela: Body Restoration.

Rollanda possesses an incredibly rare kind of magic and is thought to be the last of which possess this magic. 

Her magic allows her to restore any part of someone's body to a previous state when it wasn't hurt yet. It is not akin to time magic, more like a complete reestructuration of someone's body. 

This means that, as long as she can get a mental image of what they looked like before being damaged, she should be able to heal just about anyone and anything, even diseases caused by virus or bacteria. This is effective even with terminal diseases. 

Strengths: Can heal just about anything as long as she can imagine how they looked like before they were hurt. 

Weaknesses: Every time this technique is used, Rollanda ages faster than she should. This does not affect her much because she is immortal, however, but it makes it a technique that is impossible to pass down. It also uses enormous amounts of mana. 

Catalyst: The cape she always uses. There are several runes inscribed on it to make it capable of conducting magic. 

Inventory: She carries with herself pain killers and a pair of brass knuckles to knock out loud patients and be able to go on with their treatment. 

Familiar:Ittan-momen. A scroll youkai. When she needs to use it it simply changes into a set of bandages for a quick solution to something that does not merit wasting mana.

Squad Name: Doesn't have one

Pesonality: She is the ideal image of a kind and wise elderly nurse accompanied by a body that has not aged for several years and remains in its prime, not to mention that she can't have kids. Truly, she is the woman of more than one man's dreams. 

Now, you must wonder, why is someone like that still single after having roamed the earth for 5000+ years? The answer is simple. 

Her temper is incredibly volatile. She's turned more than one mage into a baby for calling her a hag. Yes, she is capable of doing that, and she will do it if you manage to piss her off.

Key words: Hag, idiot, old, spinster, alcoholic. 

Backstory: Not much is known about this woman. She is from a clan of old of humans that attained immortality through the use of magic. 

How she came to Liseranna is certainly a mystery, but she seems to hold some kind of grudge against Director A. The nature of their relationship is still unknown at this time, however, and she seems to seek only the death of the man.

"Basically, I'm the plot device that will be used when someone needs to go out for a while! Let's get along!"

Name: Koi Hanako

Nicknames/Titles:My Sweet Angel In White, Hanako-chan

More on her will come later

"I can get you any book! Just don't run away from me!"

Name: Arianne Creos

Nicknames/Titles: Librarian Of The Infinite Library

Age: 32

Gender: Female

Race: Arachne

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Class: In charge of the library. Gives Literature lectures to some students, as long as tehy aren't afraid of spiders.

Ranking Class: Witch class

Abilities: Alchimia, Infinite Thread. Arianne is able to produce an extremely durable kind of thread from her abdomen. She is too shy to let others see her as she makes it. 

Strengths: Nigh unbreakable. Can be shaped into weapons.

Weaknesses: Arianne doesn't really use it for fights, and it can be burnt easily. 

Catalyst: Nothing

Inventory: Several books. 

Master: None

Squad Name: Can't have one.

Pesonality: Despite being pretty sweet and motherly, Arianne's mood is quick to cahnge once someone seems scared of her appearance.

She tends to sulk and get depressed when something like this happens, which is quite often.

Backstory: Not really important, but if you wanna know, she was found by the Director in the forest, reading some book or other she had stole from a human settlement. 

So, the man decided to take her back with him to the infinite library of his school.

The end.

Arc Intros & Summaries

First Arc: A New Year, New Faces, New Dangers.

The Welcoming Arc

It is a new year. There are new students arriving at each year. What will they face in Liseranna, now that they are students here? 

Not even people with foretelling magic can guess that. Why? Because there's something blocking that. Something imposed by Director A himself. Why you ask again? "Because it isn't fun to know what's going to happen, is it? Try and go on without that magic you like so much and perhaps you'll finally wake up from your lethargy."

There's a lot of people here. Not all of them are as nice as others. Some hide their cruelness and some wear cruelness as a mask. The people here is as diverse as you would expect of any other school. 

The only problem is that you could actually experience death, though, and as long as one of the resident grim reapers does not get your hands on your soul, you can always be fixed up. 

These encounters, however, can always lead to so much more. 

Even in the world of mages, there are people that you really don't want to piss off. Mafias, demi-human slavers, necromancers, taboo-breakers.... and that's just the start of it. 

And this is just the start of everything. The Eye Of Baphel awaits, and with it, the imminent catastrophe that will fall upon humanity as it has happened over and over again. 

Will you stop it? Will you prevent it? Will it kill you? Will you even be alive to see when that happens? There are a lot of variables in play. 

Don't doubt. Don't be arrogant. Don't understimate yourself. Don't slack off in your training. Don't overwork yourself.

Get to know others and let others get to know you. There is nothing like the power of friendship here in this world. Your friends won't get you through anything. There's no deus ex machina for you. 

"But having friends might actually save your ass, so at least keep some near to use as meatshields."

Can you survive the first weeks of the school? The magical bullies? The magical hazing? The team tests and the first missions?

"It is just the start, so don't get killed, please."

"I wish I could kill you."

The short and simple of this arc: 

The students met their roomies and there were some sheananigans. Nothing really big. 

Now, they head over to classroom A-190, for an important announcement regarding their lives

Second Arc: Seize your position. Don't let your guard down. The true challenge begins now.

The Magus Games Arc

The students have reached Liseranna and are now accomodating in their new dorms along their new roommates. 

It is a time of meetings and new friendships. 

"But that alone would be boring right?"

The young mages of Liseranna cannot let down their guards even for a moment. The erasers still lurk in the shadows, waiting for when the time is right to strike.

There will be an announcement shortly in classroom A-190, but what could it be if not the great Magus Games? 

The Magus Games. An event held twice a year. The first one at the start of it, and the other one at the end of it. 

It is meant to gauge the practical uses of a mage in battle and other such situations. They give the mages a ranking, proof of their worth and power. 

The Erasers are the people standing at the top of the food chain. They wish not for competition or to lose their place in the rankings. The ones at the top get the best contracts, after all. 

They will use any underhanded method they can, to ensure that their plans are a success. 

"And if that doesn't work? Well, they will simply face you fair and square in the battlefield. They are dangerous even like that, so don't look down on them. They are just making double-sure with their Erasals."

"Push yourself as hard as you want. I will be able to cure just about anything. Even death, if you don't mind the temporary brain damage that comes along with it."

"........ Some times you can be even more grim than myself, you know?"

"I am just a realist. And if you ever compare me to you again, you will die."

So, what will it be? Where will you end up in the rankings?

Much of your future will depend on it, after all.  

The Story So Far

The existance and presence of the Eye Of Baphel has been revealed by Director A and he has set the students off for a wild goose chase to find him. In exchange for handing him over, the Director has promised unparalleled power. 

The Magus Games have also been announced and preparations are underway. 

However! In the dead of the night, the Erasers attack!.... and end up all dead. Tough luck. 

Now, it's some free time, time for more characters to come into play and to deepen your relationships.

Ezeras Ekkenhart



"I've spent my entire life mastering this art, but you're more than welcome to study with me."

	Ezeras stands at 6'02", about average for an elf. He is rather lean, but carries the typical finesse about him that is common of his kind. He significantly lacks muscle, but not unhealthily so.

Rank
	Destructive/Neutra Class

Age
	112

Sex
	Male

Standard Skills / Abilities
	Ezeras is a genius through and through. His ability to learn, understand and retain complex knowledge of history, mathematics, science, magic and all else is outstanding, even compared to other elves. He has mastered the art of the scholar and often performs lectures and seminars on the use of magic or other studies.

Contritio Spellcasting
Evocation
		Ezeras is an accomplished magician. While he has devoted time and effort into learning all forms of Contritio magic, no mage surpasses him in the art of Evocation; a vibrant and dynamic style that weaves raw magical energy to create a desired effect out of nothing. Many evocation spells can deal considerable damage through blasts of fire, lighting and the like, rather than simply destroying an object through direct magical pressure.

Personality
True Neutral
		First and foremost, Ezeras is a man of knowledge. His hobbies and spare time consist of study and experimentation in both science and magic. He is not concerned with the morals or ethics of others: only the reality of everything matters. He deals little in opinion and emotion, and instead focuses on fact and reason. This is not to say that he is stoic and cold. His passion for information and discovery drives him to pierce the darkness of ignorance and forage the path to new insight. When inquired, Ezeras could gladly talk for as long as needed in order to answer someone's question or show them some magical display. 

Equipment
	Ezeras' lack of armor or a weapon would hint that he travels light, were it not for the many tomes, materials and ingredients that he carries on person for various magical needs. He sports simple scholar's garb: a robe and slacks accented with many pockets and a large wizard's hat.

Biography / History
	Ezeras had a very easy childhood. As soon as he could talk, his family knew he would be a prodigy. He made quick work of any learning institution he was put through, and showed to command the forces of magic almost as naturally as the sorcerers. But through his study and understanding, Ezeras rose to become a powerful wizard. By the time he reached the adolescent years of his early 100's, he had already become not only one of the highest performing students, but moving on to teaching as the most powerful Evoker in the school. He's held his title rightfully since the age of one hundred and twelve, and has helped many aspiring magicians reach the title of Wizard.

Bio

"Even the most beautiful of roses can have the sharpest of thorns."

Name: Vera Meadows

Nicknames/Titles: Lady Vera

Age: 15-16

Gender: Female

Race: Very human

Sexuality:Very thorny Heterosexual

Year: 4

Ranking Class: Witch

Magic: Naturalis: Rose Garden

Simply put, Naturalis: Rose Garden allows Vera to create and manipulate rose thorns at will. This magic can be used in long range combat, although it can be used in close range attacks to some extent. 
These thorns can also be used to form defensive barriers and shields to protect the user from harm. The more mana used the larger the thorns become. Vera is also capable of creating and manipulating rose petals to use as a screen or distraction.

Strengths: The greatest strength of this magic is its multiple uses and ranges. For a long range attack, Vera can simply wave a hand and thorns can sprout out of the ground towards the enemy. This is also the case for closer range attacks, however it is possible for Vera to create shields made of tightly packed thorns. As said before, the more mana that is supplied with each attack, the larger, stronger an thicker the thorns become.

Weaknesses: As this is a magic used by long distance fighters, fighting at a closer range can be a struggle, despite the possibilities of countering against it. Also, the less mana used, the less powerful each attack becomes. Only those with large mana pools can manage to fight with this type of magic for long periods of time. This magic is definitely not for the brash and reckless; it takes strategy, skill and preservation to wield.

Catalyst: A large silver ring with a deep red gem pressed into it.

Inventory: Other than her ring, Vera usually carries small sweets around with her (her sweet tooth can't go unnoticed when there's a cake shop involved).

Familiar: ---

Squad Name: --- (If it's a new school year then Vera's most likely new to this whole squad thing)

Pesonality: Vera is an unusual one; the graceful yet mysterious air she gives off is almost haunting. Her pale skin and rather tall height seem to compliment this, but it isn't like a majority of people are terrified of her. It's more like… getting to know her fully takes a bit of time. Other than that, Vera is a pleasant young woman. Full of faint smiles, gentle words and grace, this girl doesn't seem like a fighter at all. Quite the opposite, actually.

However, no matter how many smiles or thank you's she gives, almost everyone she comes across will usually note her as 'mysterious' in their books. Sure, she smiles and puts on a pretty face all the time, but the mask she wears almost 24/7 is what hides her true thoughts. No matter how hard you stare, you'll never be able to see what this girl is thinking. Did Vera ever think good of that drawing you showed her last week? Did Vera ever think of dumping her insides into a toilet after you made some food for her? Did Vera think badly of you after you told her something nasty and regrettable?

You may never know.

There also hides an even darker layer to Vera that none of the other students have seen before. A cunning, manipulative woman who will do anything to get what she wants lies beneath that pale face mask of hers (heck, you could even call her insane if you wanted). A layer that only rises to the surface in the most dire of situations. What to expect when said layer rises to the surface?

You may never know.

But remember, Vera isn't completely evil. She rushes to help someone in need. She laughs at stupidly funny jokes. She cries when something saddens her. She feels discouraged when a close friend is hurt. She'll protect her fellow classmates to the end.

Because, even if her mask hides a lot, she's still, you know, human.

Backstory:

Although Vera was born into a wealthy and powerful household in England, her childhood was a simple and happy one. As a child, Vera had a passionate and curious mindset. Always letting herself get lost in the mansion's library, the little girl would spend her free time reading about the functions of the world. All of this knowledge fascinated Vera, and every day presented her with new information to take in. But, even if these books held facts to the world around her, simply reading it off a white page wasn't as satisfying in the least. Vera wanted to explore the vast world for herself, to really experience the world's wonders and mysteries. 

However, this wasn't something Vera was going to gain by simply asking. Her life as a mage still lay ahead of her. For the next few years, Vera would continue with her studies, eventually being sent over to Liseranna to attend its prestigious academy. Now fifteen years of age (going onto sixteen in a few months), the young woman continues to dream on exploring the world herself. There are still many things this girl doesn't know, but until her wishes are fulfilled, Vera won't stop to know everything there is to know about the earth.

"It is hard to fool around when you have a whole legacy behind you, ya know? I some times wish I could just be a normal guy."

Name: Xiao Long Lin Hua. 

Nicknames/Titles:Lin, Hua, Heir Of The House Of Xiao, Young Master

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Sexuality: Demisexual

Year: 6

Ranking Class: Druid Class Magician

Magic: Naturalis: Gaia Augmentation. 

Lin's magic allows him to draw from the force of nature and use it in addition to his very own fighting style. This allows him to make his body as hard as a rock or his hands as sharp as steel. 

Strengths: He can draw power from just about anything. If a structure is made out of rock, he can take the power out from that rock, or if there is a steel wall, he can also draw power out from that. This combined with his vast knwoledge of martial arts proves for an extremely dangerous kind of magic. He can take augmentations from three resources at the same time. 

Weaknesses: Keeping up a single augmentation wastes mana until it is dispeled. Keeping an augmentation on also wears down the resource from where Lin took his power, and when such a thing happens, Lin's augementation is also dispeled. Destroying the resource Lin is taking his augmentation from will also dispel his magic. Lin can only draw power from minerals, so he can't transform into water or similars.

Catalyst: His catalyst is a dragon tattoo in his back. It is an special tattoo made out of the ink of a Kraken, a beast commonly hunted by the men of the Xiao Long family as a coming of age ritual. He usually has it covered so that people cannot guess his heritage from a simple glance.

Inventory: Lin usually carries with him a pair of sais to use in battle. 

Familiar:Shikio Wahlaal

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Ever heard of a gilded cage? That's exactly what happens with Lin Hua. 

The young master of Chinese noble house Xiao Long feels that there is nothing he can do without being seen, and that might as well be true. 

He's developed several habits because of this. He is light on his feet and you will probably never hear him coming. 

He tends not to speak too much of himself until he is finally sure that you are not an spy from his family. 

He doesn't answer private numbers or unknown numbers in his mobile. 

His guard is always up and ready until he is sure that you are not his enemy.

He will also be extremely rude to any woman trying to get overly friendly with him. More than one arranged marriage partner has tried to approach him like that. 

After getting through that and making sure you aren't in any kind of relation with his family, he will become a lot more friendly and easy to talk with. 

However, he is still a spoiled and whimsical child for all the time he's spent living secluded and close to his family. Sometimes, he tends not to understand his own emotions and, despite claming that he wants only to encounter the woman he loves and marry that same woman. Even he isn't sure if he even knows what love really is. 

Backstory: The Xiao Long family. Your ever so cliche Chinese noble house. 

Everything was calm and relaxing. Tea ceremonies in the morning. Kung-fu and Tai chi in the afternoon. Wedding ceremonies and correct manners at noon. Sleeping at correct hours too. It was severely frowned upon staying up too late. 

While Lin Hua always had every toy at his disposal that he wanted and could order around as many of the manservants in the mansion as he pleased, the boy never really did seem satisfied with that. 

The Xiao Long are a long line of Naturalis magicians, but they don't really make an habit of sending off their heirs to magic schools in fear of other houses stealing their magic secrets. However, Lin Hua was an special case. 

It is not that he lacked the talent and large mana pool that years and years of mages had created and only for him to inherit, it was just that he didn't seem to have any intention to learn magic.

When they asked him why he wouldn't accept the training given to him, he said that because everything was really boring. It wasn't much of a reason, but everyone knew Lin Hua's whimsical nature. If he said he wasn't going to do something, he simply won't, and that was the end of it. 

In order to satisfy the young master, they asked him what he wanted. Lin answered that he wanted to go to school, like every other teenager. His family decided to let him attend to Liseranna, where he could study his magic and become a worthy heir of the house of Xiao Long. Perhaps even find a suitable consort. 

Of course, Lin has no intention of doing that, and can't seem to be able to wait until he gets permission to go in missions. If he does, he can either fake his death or escape altogether without looking back. In any case, he just wishes to get away from his family and its rigid traditions. 

Despite Lin's sheltered nature and often times unfriendly disposition, he was able to find a Fenrir one of the several times he escaped from his home and into the woods. 

Shikio, the Fenrir he managed to befriend, was definitely powerful... and he really wanted a pet. Why not keep a sexy dog girl as one? He decided to bring the girl back home, using both his cunning and position to make a juicy contract with her and her somewhat... difficult personality. 

The elder of his family admitted her great potential for magic and actually allowed for the Fenrir to become the Xiao Long familiar. 

Starting her contract with the next head of the house just seemed ideal, if only Lin's personality was a little bit less difficult than Shikio's own personality. 

"We should all get along and not fight. I mean, fighting's wrong, right?"

"You always go on about idiotic things like that, don't you?"

Name: Charlotte Roh Viskey

Nicknames/Titles: None right now

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Believes she is heterosexual but she is still too young. 

Year: 1

Ranking Class: She is classified as a Witch, but her true potential without her spirit is that of a simple mage in training.  

Magic: Pythones: Sloth Spirit Belphegor 'Belly'.

It is well known that Belphegor is a sloth 'demon' in Catholic religion. However, it is in fact a sloth spirit. It is not evil but rather lazy. It cannot live without possessing a host every century or so, and always waits for that limit to be reached before possessing a new host. 

The one unfortunate or perhaps fortunate enough to have been possessed was small potential mage Charlotte. 

Strengths: Charlotte is able to either physically manifest Belphegor to fight by her side OR can be completely possessed by the spirit and gain its abilities. In such an state she gains superhuman abilities like immense strength, astonishing speed and the knowledge of the spirit possessing her. Belphegor is able to induce sloth in others and make them lazy and even make them fall asleep with enough mana. 

Weaknesses: Belphegor, as a spirit of sloth, is extremely lazy, and will not act unless Charlotte is truly in danger. When possessed, Charlotte's personality changes and she exchanges positions to become the spirit inside the body, while Belphegor uses her body. Killing Charlotte in this state would make her an spirit, and would definitely kill Belphegor, a spirit that has trascended life and death for several centuries now. Also, Charlotte's body isn't as resilient as to withstand the enormous strength and abilities of Balphegor and may even end up with broken bones or completely incapacitated after a fight, if she ever does get into one.

Catalyst: Belphegor possesses her and her body itself is the catalyst. However, and to study how to make actual magic, she has chosen a bracelet.

Inventory: Sweets. Lots and lots of them. She also carries toys with her wherever she goes.

Familiar: Doesn't have one.

Squad Name: Can't even be in one.

Pesonality: Extremely childish, even for a girl her age. She is naive, she is loud and she is a complete airhead. 

If there is something that is true is that she has been sheltered and taken care for all of her life. Even now that she is at Liseranna after seeing her talent to befriend even a malicious spirit known to kill its hosts as soon as he possessed them, she is protected by that same spirit, even if it tries not to make it look like it. 

Charlotte just seems to be a magnet for problems, and her personality oddly makes her get into even more problems. 

Above all, she has an optimistic look on life, despite having been possessed she still sees it as a good thing, and as an opportunity to make a good friend that will accompany her for life. 

Her moral compass is also stupidly inclined to good. She won't accept good coming from an evil, if it can't be done the right way, then it can't be done at all. When something like this happens is the only time she will actually rise up and fight. 

Belphegor, in contrast, is an extremely lazy spirit. Most of the time, it keeps its mouth shut and prefers to just be an spectator, but when Charlotte is about to make an idiotic suggestion so as to help someone who doesn't need helping or walking right into a death trap. 

He will forcefully take over Charlotte's body in order to enhance her abilities and be able to use his own magic. When this happens, however, his true personality is brought to light. 

As always, he is a lazy spirit, but he is also sarcastic, extremely crude, likes to pick fights, prone to being a pervert and flirty. He loves to chase skirts and will even stoop as low as to act as Charlotte to sneak peeks at the bodies of other women. Though he does care and worry for Charlotte, it does not extend to anyone else. He couldn't care less about other people and can kill without any qualm whatsoever. 

Though Charlotte doesn't tend to get into a lot of fights, she does get into fights with Balphegor whenever he calls her a 'boy dressed as a girl', 'no boobs' or 'flat chest'. 

Backstory: Born to a normal family in some generic city of the USA, Charlotte spent most of her time playing around and just doing well, kid-like things. Her personallity has always been the same, and no matter what happened she never really did seem worried. 

Something happened when she was around 10, however. She started experiencing night terrors as Belphegor tried to possess her. 

It was her potential as a mage that made it hard for the spirit to enter her body. Belphegor thought about giving up since it was too much of a hassle but... being able to consume a woman with such potential would probably keep him fed for several more centuries without having to possess someone else. He could just lollygag without a care in the world. 

Yes, that was the reason why he decided to go through the hassle of possessing Charlotte. To save future effort. However, when he did so, he met the incredibly oddball that is Charlotte. 

Her smile was like the sun and Balphegor found it irritating. Her energy that made Balphegor give chase to her spirit to catch it upsetted him. The fact that she was still happy despite her imminent doom was oddly irritating for Balphegor, but he could not deny that he hadn't had this kind of fun in ages. 

Later, he decided to actually talk to the girl. When they got to talking he thought to himself something he never thought would happen, that killing such a human would just be a waste. 

So he decided to form a friendship/contract with Charlotte. Afterwards, it wasn't long for a teacher from Liseranna to discover her and scout her. 

She decided to go to learn how to manifest Balphegor and finally see the face of the spirit residing alongside her. 

"My blade hasn't gone dull yet. As long as I still control it, I will continue fighting."

Name: Juliann Espada

Nicknames/Titles:The Possessed Swordsman

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Straight

Class:
How To Fend Off Hostile Spirits
Spirit-ology. Your friendly guide to getting to know spirits.
Exorcism for dummies 101
Fencing and Swordsmanship

Ranking Class: Destructive Class Magician & Necromancer Class Magician

Magic:

Pythones: The Dragonslayer, Sasaki Kojiro

Juliann is possessed by the spirit of the nameless samurai, Sasaki Kojiro, who truly was an spirit to begin with, which was the actual reason for why it was so hard to locate him to begin with. 

He is a wandering warrior, who often moved from one body to the other without qualms, giving the possessed body an incredible ability with the blade that could hardly be compared by anyone else in feudal Japan, and still continues to be one of the best. 

Thanks to Juliann's talent as a mage and also as a swordsman, the warrior has been bound to her for quite a while now, training her for the day she doesn't need his help any longer. 

Sasaki Kojiro does not offer any special ability to his host, nor does he talk in place of them like Balphegor, instead, he either takes over a body completely or manifests at times when the negative energy in a place is strong enough. Instead, he relies his knowledge upon his host so that they can fight. 

Juliann is incredibly skilled with a sword and a master swordsman in her own right, however her style is definitely that of a western warrior. The training and knowledge from Sasaki have allowed her to create a completely original sword technique. 

Contritio: Sword Art

Extremely versatile yet neutral in nature, the Contritio Sword Art is a special fighting style involving sword techniques and magic. 

More about this will be explained IC.

Contritio: Kanji Magic

The love child of her sword art and constant training with Sasaki Kojiro. 

When she activates this magic, her sword slashes will leave an ink-like substance made out of mana. Depending on what she writes (as a kanji) is what will be activated. 

E.G. if she writes the kanji 火 for fire, then whatever she wrote it on will catch on fire. 

Strengths: Her magic is not only versatile, but also extremely deadly. Some times, people can't catch with the eyes when she takes her sword out. Her strength is gargantuan too, and her body though curvaceous is definitely more ripped than the body of any other male teacher. Her magic allows for elements to be created out of nothingness and, unlike other magicks, hers is not limited by the branch of magic she is uses.

Weaknesses: As it should be expected, Juliann's magic is extremely mana consuming. Her mana is being turned into ink when using her Kanji Magic and to enhance her strength and speed to the point she needs them to in her Sword Arts are also too tiring. Her kanji magic is also extremely limited to her knowledge of Japanese characters, though Sasaki tends to teach her new ones regularly. 

Catalyst: The cursed sword, Kreuz. It is what made her left eye turn red. There is not a single good point about this sword, other than the fact that it can constantly replenish the mana of the user, though that comes at the price of her own life. She's never used this technique. 

Using it is tiring too. When casting, the sword also consumes more mana than any one normal catalyst. 

It is also attached to Juliann and she can't get rid of it nor can she use another sword. She's already lost a hand trying to. Seemingly, it is also nigh indestructible and incredibly sharp, being able to cut cleanly through steel without as much as a problem. 

To compensate for these other two good points, however, is the fact that it is extremely heavy. Juliann herself could not lift it for several years until her training was completed. 

Inventory: Reading glasses. A phone and a wallet (try stealing it)

Personality: Juliann has often been compared to a dragon. She only acknowledges the strong and looks down on the weak. If you have a problem with someone, then solve it with your fists, not with petty words. 

This does not mean, however, that she goes around picking fights with whoever gets in her way. She is patient and has the understanding of a saint. It is actually hard to make her mad, but when you do, well, you'd better run for your life. 

Though Sasaki is a teacher to her more than a hassle, she is painfully aware of the fact that not every spirit is as benevolent and good as her own master, so she decided to take up the job as a teacher in Liseranna. 

Perhaps also impose some order upon the rebellios brats. More than one seems to think they are god brought back to life to walk with the peasants. 

Backstory: For now, let's just say that she has an story with the Eye of Baphel she'd rather not share. You shall discover more IC.

"No I don't sniff other people's butts... *Pout* '"

Name: Shikio Wahlaal

Nicknames/Titles: "The beautiful yet fierce Queen of the Northern wind!"  'Self appointed' 

Age: Totally legal age but don't get any ideas!... I bite, I promise. '18'

Gender: Alpha Female

Race: Fenrir. 'kinda.... beast-she if you'r picky' 

Sexuality: "That's... a very... very sudden personal question!"  'Bisexual' 

Year: 3

Ranking Class: Familiar

Magic:
Contritio: Ice Magic: By freezing the ground she can manipulate the ice into pointy sharp icicles that can be brought forth rapidly to impale things that's less durable than ice. She if used around her she can freeze the water molecules in the air to make it snow, possibly create blizzards and hail storms if boosted by either air magic or natural gushes of wind.  

Strengths: Ice is cold and can chill opponents making them shudder and freeze. It's natural strength is in wet environments with cool temperatures. From the creating of a simple snow ball to the sharp ice pike icicles, Ice can take many forms. If it melts it become water again and can still be used quite well against fire.  

Weaknesses: While being cold, slippery and hard while frozen. Freezing is not necessarily a quick progress, especially in hot and dry environments. To create ice in a desert would be next to impossible without implementing a source of liquids, and even while it may last for a while it will melt rather quickly making it difficult to use. Enough heat will turn ice into steam which can possibly be leathal for someone caught in it even for Shikio herself who have no special resistance towards being boiled alive.   

Catalyst: Five magical talismans, one located on each wrist and ankle and one in the collar around her neck. 

Inventory: Lots of snacks... yeah it helps her cast magic... because her belly's not empty.  

Master:Xiao Long Lin Hua.

Squad Name: blank

Pesonality:
Well, Shikio is a Alpha female and won't let anyone tell her anything else. She's a proud girl who's easily pissed off if someone tries to belittle her for anything and mostly only holds respect for people who can school her big time. She have a hard time for sarcasm, hate people who lies... and while trying to be the best she can end up butting heads with people. Her beast side are often visible, and she sometimes depend more on her instincts than rational thoughts. If pushed she's quicker to bite than to bark. 

Backstory:

Born as a proud Fenrir, Shikio is a member of a northern clan that live in very cold Enviroments. Spending time with half beasts, wolves and her own Fenris family as she grew up she was most used to pack life before coming to Liseranna. She discovered her natural inherited magic at a young age as she howled with her father and created ice together with him.

Her life took a turn from the wild life to the rather peaceful life as a familiar long ago, at first she didn't neccessarily understand what it meant to be a Familiar... A Boy she had met while wandering the woods far away from home offered her the chance to become one. At first she thought it might be bad, but none the less she was eventually tempted into accepting it.

Name: Joulie Valkyrie

Nicknames/Titles: Warmaiden, Battlemaiden, Goddes of Fate. Choser of the Slain. Angel, Valkyrie. 

Age: ~1000

Gender: Female

Race: Aesir 

Sexuality: Straight, mostly.

Year: N/A

Magic:

Neutura:Nibelung Valesti: Purify wicked soul. By calling upon divine wrath Joulie can unleash holy elements and weapons upon her foes. In addition she can summon divine weapons to assist fearsome combo attacks such as freezing, piercing, burning and smiting her foes. Each valkyrie have their own way to purify wicked. Especially effective against Undead,Demons,and other creatures of darkness and wickedness. 

Pythones: Einherjar Materilization: By collecting the souls of the slain Joulie can summon them to her side if needed for as long as she keep them within herself. A summoned Einherjar regain all the abilities they had in life but cannot stray nor live away from the valkyries presence. Unless sent to the afterlife an Einherjar stay with their Valkyrie. 

Neutra: Object Materilization: Joulie an create inmate objects such a weapons and equipment out of the either to assist in battle or equip to her einherjar. Usually requiring that one item is 'dematerilized' into Ether and reconstructed, create potions and other dvine things.

Neutra:  Divine listening: Concentrating fully, Joulie can hear the inner thoughts of people who are about to die, this is an ability made to assist her in her chosing of the slain. 

Strengths/Weaknesses:

Joulie's magic abilities are well balanced as well as her combat skills. Her most destructive magic is very powerful in both destrutive force and its ability to control a foe. Her Nibelung Valestic is her most powerful attack which are only used to its full extent against impure or wicked souls unless its a last resort move.

While able to summon Einherjar's she can only ask them to combat for her if that's what she wishes, she cannot control their free will and if someone is disloyal to her she they can turn against her.  A newly summoned Einherjar may be heavily disoriented and thus to simply summon them for the sake of doing so is not beneficial in any way, and the most apporiate way is to do so before any events to allow them to get used to it.

To Materialize objects for any other purpose than her Soul purge require concentration and the time to do so. Thus those she summon in battle does not last long.

She can only hear the thoughts of people about to die, and not listen to anyone she want.  

Catalyst: Does not need one.

Inventory: Sword and Armor.

Master:Arthur Wick

Squad Name:

Pesonality: Very sarcastic, she frown upon almost everything while replying in the most amusing way she can think off. Joulie hates kids above everything, can't stand kids... Want to cook, fry... Bake and serve all kids to giant trolls beneath bridges...yeah, she doesn't really like them at all. 

She believes mostly that the age of gods and deties might be over, but she intend on keeping watch on the world to see where it will turn. She does in general dislike annoying people and like those that give her hope that the world won't in fact be destroyed. 

Backstory:

Born in Asgard from the soul of a warmaiden about an millennium ago. She does not recall much of her previous life other than the skills she learned and of the wisdom she once possessed. 

In Valhalla she studied under the other valkyries and journeyed back and forth between Asgard and Midgard to learn about the worlds. In the beginning of her time she was much like an apprentice or Squire, performing lesser duties while following a full fledged Valkyrie around until she could earn her own wings. Once she had started earning her wings her duties increased, and many chances for her to prove her skills in combat arrived both on Asgard and in Midgard where she both in duel and practice fought agianst both Aesir and Einherjar in contests of skill. Over the course of many years she eventually would earn her own wings and could both see the world of Midgar and participate in events as she pleased. 

Over the course of hundreds of years she    tried the life as a Lover to heroes or as a dughter of royalty. Yet could only at a few times find the drive that once had turned her into a warmaiden of old. And when she was not meddling in the human world she attended her duties as a Valkyrie, to choose the warriors that would go to Valhalla and those that would go elsewhere.

Eventually the war against christendom would come, and many things would be thrown into turmoil. Wars of deties and mortals across the world once more would shape the world into what it would become today and Joulie participated in many of them along with both Aesir and Einherjar. Yet it was a loosing battle, and Pagans would eventually be mostly extinguished and their place in history would mostly fade away except for tales of old. In its place rose other religions such as Christendom, and for Deities such as Joulie the most they could do was to fall back to their lair to lick their wounds in defeat. 

After it was over Joulie among many others would take to observe the world of mortals and let them settle their differences without their intervention. And in return Joulie would shake her head at the many wars that occured because of religion and other reasons, the first and second world war in more recent ages, and the invetions of super weapons that perhaps would surpass magic. Nowdays people who see Joulie take her for an Angel and she dosen't in general bother to correct them as doing so only prove to lead to more trouble.

Bio

Livia is rather tall for her age, standing around roughly 5'6, taller than most other girls. Add that to the fact she has a rather mature air about her until she opens her big mouth, she can oft be mistaken for being much older. She wears a black and red dress, with dark stockings and boots. On her hands, she always wears her catalyst - two gloves. Most often, she'll be seen wearing a cloak.

(Unlike the picture above) She has dark colored hair and deep, purple colored eyes. Incidentally, that's also her favorite color.

"Hmm...what? Sorry, I was busy counting how much of my time you are wasting."


"Livia Fiore. Now get lost, I'm busy."

Name:
Livia Fiore

"Apparently I'm a noble, but if you so much as call me 'Lady', I'll have Gall throw you out."

Nicknames/Titles:
Lady Fiore.

"Pfft. Like I actually would date anyone. But fine, human, let's see how you do."
Sexuality:
Bisexual

"Year 4. I'd say...best in the year too. Don't believe me? Heh, fine. Lets see you disprove it then."
Year:
Year 4

"Sorceress, but still good enough to kick your ass."
Ranking Class:
Sorceress

"Ah...such beautiful dances, the Spirits of Wrath have. Perhaps you'd like to join them?~ 
Hehe, kidding kidding. That was a joke. Calm down. I'm not going to kill you."

Magic:
Pythones: Wrathful Spirits

To put simply, this magic is summoning wrathful spirits and using them for combat. These vile, hateful spirits seek only to harm the foes of the caster, and perhaps even the caster themselves should they lose control. They are mostly used offensively, since their defensive capabilities are lacking. Most take the form of a ethereal humanoid skull, or grinning specter. Most who see them seem to think they're dancing some sort of macabre waltz, as they flit and glide through the air.

Strengths:
These spirits are built for pure offensive tactics and mobility, mostly at range. One of the best features these spirits have, is the ability to go after targets themselves, once released. The caster only needs to have their own wrath and malice directed at someone, and they will seek out that target. It's not perfect, of course.

Additionally, the spirits can help move the caster out of harms way - moving them through the air without the caster so much as lifting a finger, almost as if they were a specter themselves.

-a few offensive abilities-
Summoning a specter to directly attack someone. The number can vary, and depends on the mana supplied to the spirits. The most straightforward use of this magic. Getting hit by one it will usually feel like a solid kick to the face, or wherever the specter hit. They can not go through walls and such.

Summoning a group of these spirits, depending on the commands can have them do multiple things aside from the basics. Create small explosive forces. Perhaps even using stronger ones to even restrain a person. She could theoretically create a barrier using them, but it would probably not be very strong - depending on the mana supplied.

Weaknesses:
As previously stated, this magic has very little in the way of defensive abilities. Aside from creating small barriers or using the spirits themselves as shields, she has almost no defensive abilities whatsoever. Fighting at close range can be a hassle, though a creative person could have a few tricks up their sleeve to make up for this.

Catalyst:
A set of gloves, passed down in her family. The oldest received a Grimoire, but she likes to think she got the better end of that.

Inventory:
Aside from the gloves, she often can be seen with a book since she loves reading. (Whatever you do, do not harm her precious books.)

"The vow I made with him? 'I shall be your friend and guardian for however long I remain on this earth.' Cheesy, eh? But well, I was a kid. No, I'm not a kid any more. Quit looking at me like that!"
Familiar:
Gall, your friendly neighborhood Reaper

Squad Name:
N/A

"Me? People tell me I'm a horrible person. I say they just can't handle the harsh truth. Idiots."

Pesonality:
Livia is honestly not the nicest of people out there. That's readily apparent from the way she seems to regard her fellow humans with obvious disdain and annoyance. She has little patience for people, and those who waste her time with small talk. She prefers reading, studying, and spending time alone watching the dancing of her spirits. Her words tend to sting quite often, and she has a knack for hitting people right where it hurts with her words. Mix that with her somewhat hot-headed behavior, well...needless to say, she's not exactly all that popular.

That said, she is by no means a horrible person. She simply doesn't know how to not speak her mind, and not be incredibly blunt or scathing with her words. She points out peoples flaws and things in hopes that they might fix those flaws themselves. She sees no since in ever sugarcoating things, or giving small white lies to make someone feel better. To her, a small sweet lie is ten times more painful than a harsh truth.

If one were to get to know her, they'd probably find someone who would be a very loyal and open friend. If you can get over her somewhat...dark sense of humor.

"Blah blah, some wealthy family in France, blah blah. Not important. If that's everything then leave me alone or I'll have Gall throw you out."

Backstory:
Livia is the youngest daughter of some wealthy family in France. A long line of Pythones mages, to be exact. She had a relatively comfortable life growing up, if not an entirely happy one. Being the youngest, she was always rather snubbed by her parents. Not that they were abusive or anything, they simply spent more time doting on her older sister than herself. They mostly left her to care for herself, or the servants.

At the time, she felt as though they were mostly, even actively ignoring her. So she buried herself in her magic and other studies, and actively ignored them and her fellow students. Somewhere along the line, that turned into a somewhat misanthropic, cynical outlook on life, especially towards other humans.

Sometime when she was 14, and was on a vacation to Dublin with her family, one of the rare moments that she actually got to spend with her family. It should have been a time that she should have been happy. But well, when you see a reaper collecting a dead body in an alley, it might cause someone to flee in terror.

Well, let's call it morbid curiosity. She walked right up to the reaper, and started talking to it, not scared of it, or anything really. In fact, she was just plain curious about it. The two exchanged a few words, but she left quickly before her parents found her.

About a year later, she decided having a familiar would greatly help. And well, she was still fascinated by him...so she made it her mission to find him. Some found a little girl hanging around a elderly home somewhat odd, but it worked out in the end. She found the one she had met in Dublin, and exchanged vows with him.




Lyssa stands at a respectable 5'6". She has two sharp horns growing out of her forehead, and two medium sized bat like wings on her back accompanied by a long, slender spaded tail. She has a pale complexion, and bright blue eyes. Most of the time she wears a black and white dress. As far as attractiveness goes, most would probably find her quite attractive.

Magic:
Alchimia: Deconstruction
To put simply, this is the deconstruction of elements using Alchemy. By understanding an items composition, she can break the bonds between the elements, turning anything the magic touches into nothing more than useless scrap. Of course, she has to understand what exactly it is she's deconstructing for it to work. In retrospect, this magic has quite a few drawbacks. Especially considering she has to rely on her own physical abilities a lot of the time.

For example, breaking the bonds in water, creating Oxygen and Hydrogen. A pure element such as Iron, all she has to do is break the bonds between the iron particles themselves, and it'll turn them into small scraps.

Strengths: Once something's destroyed, it's destroyed almost instantly becoming little more than useless hunks of scrap in the process. A single touch is all it will take, and if she can get the composition right, then the item basically becomes useless. She could effectively kill a human with a touch if she so desired. It'd take longer to break down more complex organisms, and she'd have to do it for awhile, but you can bet you'd be hurting - most likely internal bleeding and a few other broken things.

As long as she's touching something, she can send magic along it to reach the area around a target at range. 

Weaknesses: Despite how effective the magic is at destroying, it has a lot of weaknesses. Such as being close enough to touch whatever it is you want to destroy. (Or at least, she has yet to discover a way to make her abilities work at range.) Secondly, against another Alchimist, it'd be a bit of a hassle, considering they could just remake whatever she had destroyed if given time.

Third, against things like fire, and other things it'd be difficult to defend against. She'd have to use her creativity here to her advantage.

She likes to think her martial training makes up for a bit these setbacks, however.

Aside from various sweets, not much.

"I was told I was being too loud one night. I said they were jealous of me and my friend going at it hard last night. I'm still sore from the beating she gave me. I'll have to step up my game skills, because next time I'ma beat her good!~"

Pesonality:
If one would describe Lys, it's an unending bundle of energy and friendliness. Indeed, she never seems to tire and ends something with just as much energy as she started it with. She likes meeting new people, and loves hanging out with others. An all around people person, some might say. She'll be the first to befriend the new kid at at school...and also the first to steal any sweets you might have.

A bit of a nerd as well, loves playing video games and super heroes and stuff.

She tends to shy away from violence and conflict, but if she must she will end it as swiftly as she can. Her magic, which deconstructs elements can end things quite easily, if she has too.

Ah, and she can say some...odd things sometimes. Don't read too much into them.

And despite her lazy nature towards her studies, she's not unintelligent. She's quite resourceful, most of the time, and can probably recite the periodic table backwards and forwards.

Backstory:

Her history is rather mundane. Her parents were rather normal people, who both attended Liseranna themselves. Her mother was an Alchimia mage, and her father was a Contritio mage - though he never had much love for magic, instead focusing on martial pursuits, and combining his magic with them. She herself, grew fascinated by magic as well and started attempting to learn Alchemy. Her father though, also made sure she received proper physical and martial training as well. No child of his was going to study silly magic and let their bodies waste away.

Even now, she still practices, though she doesn't really put much emphasis on it when she's at Liseranna, instead focusing more on the magic aspects of her abilities.




Sorcha is tall, giving off a regal air of sophistication and nobility. She stands at a tall 5'9", dwarfing most of the men she has ever met. Her splendid white hair brilliantly reflects the sunlight, and it's obvious she takes very good care of it. Her skin, in places where she has it, is flawless in every since of the word, not a blemish to be found.

As far as her human traits go, she'd probably be the girl that caused everyone to turn their heads, and possibly even walk into a pole.

It is quite obvious she isn't human. Brilliant white wings cover her back, and have not tattered or dulled with age, and are just as pristine as the day she was born. A long, powerful white tail extends behind her, ready in equally pristine condition. Atop her head, are two sharp, pointed horns that protrude upwards. Where she doesn't have skin, she has white scales. They cover most of her legs and waist, curving around her sides and covering most of her back and arms with the durable armor.

Her eyes, a fierce, commanding red.

The armor she wears, was crafted by a nameless blacksmith in her old town. She wears it out of sentiment and so that she will never forget the pain of that horrible day where she lost everything she considered herself to love.

"You, human. I demand tribute. All of the junk food you have will suffice."


"I have been known as many names through my years, but you may call me Lady Sorcha."
Name:
Sorcha Ó Maoilriain
she likes reminding people that it means 'Radiant' or 'Brilliant King'

Those she likes, meaning her master, may call her by her first name. The rest will address her as 'Lady Sorcha.'

Nicknames/Titles:
"Goddess of the Heavens"
"Bringer of the Storm"
"The wandering Tempest"

Her favorite:
"Thou who will smite thee with bolts of fury if thou maketh her angry"

Age:
"I have fought alongside one of the greatest leaders and wizards of the ancient age, Fought against a mighty warrior in the freezing winds of the north, and was worshiped as a bringer of ruin and god before those damnable religious zealots burned my village and attempted to slay me. I am a proud, noble being deserving of respect and will not tolerate such insolence and rudeness as you asking my age."

Gender:
Female

Race:
Dragon

"Hmm? I have no interest in such affairs with you little humans. That said...I have taken a human lover on occasion. But I only accept the strong, those strong enough to win my respect or force me into submission. I doubt you can do either."

Sexuality:
She feels no such desires. However, she is attracted to strength. And if she views someone as strong...well, who knows? She might just say yes.

Year:
N/A

Magic:
Contritio:
Roar of the Heavens.
Being a dragon of Thunder and Storms, she has minimal control over the element. While she can't 'breathe' it in the traditional sense, she can, direct a lightning bolt towards a target. In humanoid form, she can fire such bolts from her hands or glaive. However, she can not rapid fire them - they take a few seconds to charge, so to speak. The stronger the bolt, the longer 'charge' it needs.

Once upon a time, it is said that she was able to summon disastrous tempests that would blow away all but the most stalwart of men. She neither confirms or denies these claims.

Neutra:
Immovable Wall.
Her scales are quite durable, and work well enough for a natural armor and to deflect blades...and are really gonna hurt something fierce if you get whacked with one.

Another rumor states she could at one point, take he form of a majestic scaled lizard, dwarfing the largest of man made buildings. Another rumor she neither confirms nor denies.

Strengths:
It's lightning. You know, electricity. It'll mess you up fairly badly if you get hit with it. It's an incredibly fast projectile, and while it is been proven possible to dodge, one would need to be incredibly fast to do so.

Weaknesses:
Lightning is drawn to high places. Not to mention, it can't pass through ground so well. Any earth-related element is going to find themselves at quite an advantage to her lightning. Lightning rods also work quite well for grounding her electricity. Works better as precise, targeted attacks and not so well as Area of Effect attacks.

Catalyst:
A ancient, but well taken care of and strong Glaive, forged out of dragon scales. She always seems to have this with her, and seems to hold some importance to her. However, if asked she will simply give a wistful smile, and respond that it's simply a gift from a long dead friend. She never elaborates more on that.

Inventory:
Her Glaive.

Master:
N/A

Squad Name:
N/a

Personality:
Prideful. Stubborn. Arrogant. Those are the three words that would most definitely describe her accurately. Any dragon creature would share similar personality traits, and none so embody that fact like Sorcha. Honorable, Fair, and a lover of junk food shiny things, are just about all that encompass her personality. She will never tolerate an insult towards herself, or anyone that she so happens to deem worthy of being her master. To do so would severely tarnish her pride, and is something she would never let happen.

Tends to hold grudges because of her pride, should she lose or be insulted in some way.

"My history...is quite long, I assure you. I remember every detail of my life...even the painful ones that never quite heal."

Backstory:
Her origins are shrouded in mystery, though one can confirm she was born sometime shortly before the birth of Christ somewhere in Scotland or Ireland. Her childhood is shrouded in much history, though she says she never knew her parents much - they were murdered when she was but a child and had to fend for herself through most of it and made sure to keep to herself and stay away from others - especially humans. Her parents had warned that they feared dragons, and would probably attempt to kill her, and she made sure to avoid them. Sticking to forests, caves, and never staying in one area for long.

And then, she met, A great wizard. He wanted a familiar, a powerful being. She of course, refused and the two fought, her ending up losing. And as an agreement reached before the fight, she became his familiar and fought, worked, and traveled alongside the wizard for much of his life, until they went their separate ways.

A few hundred years later, she found herself in the cold northern lands - somewhere what is around Denmark today. Having tasted battle fighting along a heroic king and her owner, she set out to make a name for herself in these lands she had never laid eyes on before - Terrorizing and plundering the landscape for any valuable she could find.

She claims it is one of the least glamorous chapters in her life, but she will not deny that it happened. Soon enough, she was challenged by a brave warrior, and the two fought each other in honorable combat. She killed all of his men, and fatally wounded the warrior, but not before receiving a near fatal wound herself. She managed to flee, but her wounds eventually got the best of her, and she passed out, unable to retain consciousness.

What happened after then, no one really knows. She has never told anyone - but it is known a few hundred years later she showed up in some small European village - with her Glaive in hand. She says she saved the village from a plague - some uppity mage or something was causing it. Normally she wouldn't care about such a thing, but the village offered a reward that quite intrigued the dragon.

Money. all of the Cities money, and their undying loyalty to the great dragon. She couldn't refuse such an offer, and within the next day, the mage lay dead and the plague stopped before it could spread any further. And for another few hundred years, she was praised and worshiped as a goddess by the people. The town grew and prospered under her guidance and protection. Until those religious zealots sought to kill her in the name of their god. They burned her village to the ground, killing all of the peasants and attempting to kill her. Fools ended up charred to a crisp from her bolts, but the damage was done. The entire town was decimated, nothing more than charred cinders and a grieving dragon.

This affected the dragon greatly. Over the years, she grew to care for the villagers - indeed, she even could say she had fallen for one of the locals.

On the night following its said her furious, grieving, cries could be heard through the entire countryside.

What happened after that, she never reveals, though she wandered and caused minor troubles here and there. She simply states she traveled, and has yet to take another master. Why she wants one now is anyone guess. Some with guts says she's lonely after being out of touch with people for so many years. Such people usually end up on the receiving end of her smiting.

Hey hey...could it be? A theme or something?



Meredith stands around 5'5". however, this tends to fluctuate depending on her mood and if she needs to be a tad bit taller to reach something. She normally wears black, loose fitting clothing consisting of a t-shirt and skirt. Normally, her hair is tied back into a long, blond ponytail, and her face twisted into some sort of toothy grin as her amber colored eyes search the area for...'test subjects'

Magic:
Alchimia:
-Body Sculpt-

Meredith, is am Alchemist. And a Medela mage. At least, she has studied both schools quite effectively, and has come up with an effective combination of both, but ultimately her magic falls under Alchimia.

She has control over her own body and can make her body do mostly whatever she wants. Mostly used through some form of grotesque bone/skin/blood manipulation. Such as hardening the bones in her body to extreme levels, hardening her skin into nigh-impenetrable armor, and even using her own blood as projectiles. If its part of her body, she can manipulate it - even regenerate limbs or make new ones if she has enough energy. She could even change her appearance on a whim.

Of course, the greater the change she makes, the more energy and strain on her body it uses. Fully functional limbs take a bit more energy to take, so she usually sticks with sinewy tentacle-like appendages in that regard.

She also has a bit of a limited effect on others as well, though not as pronounced as her ability to heal/manipulate her own body structure. Healing small, non life threatening wounds is quite possible given a few seconds.

Strengths:
First of all, her magic basically turns her own body into a living weapon. She can change the structure of the chemicals in her body, such as increasing the ratio of carbon in her skin effectively making her skin as hard as diamond. Even making a few extra limbs if she had too.

This, makes her a very durable and very effective, and adept fighter - especially deadly at close range. She can add muscle mass to herself for sheer strength, or adjust her muscles for optimal speed and agility.

She can also heal other people, to some extent. While she's no replacement for an actual healer, she can heal minor-to medium sized injures should she need too, though it takes time and in a battle situation it might not be the best solution or use of her abilities.

Weaknesses:
while she's not completely helpless at range, its not her forte. Her best method of attack, is simply launching a sharpened bone at something at medium speed, and that's not really going to be doing any major damage. Plus the lost body mass will cost her quite a bit of energy.

Secondly, she is still flesh and bone as most of her transformations are. Fire and Ice tend to work quite effectively against her. She still feels pain as well, and any new limbs she make will still feel it as well.

Her regenerating ability isn't perfect either, and it takes time. While she can visibly close wounds within seconds, any injury larger than a small cut is going to take a few seconds to heal. And such healing takes energy.

healing others takes noticeably more energy.

And if someone happens to break her arm, sternum, or shoulder blade her magic ability decreases quite a bit. If someone manages to shatter all three before she can heal, she'll effectively lose her ability to fight. Of course, such information would be difficult to come by.

She has no formal training in close quarters combat, even though she relies on it a lot during a fight. A skilled fighter who does, could easily win if they're clever. Just try not to get hit with a fist that carries enough force to send a truck flying a few feet.

Catalyst:
Intricate runes carved into her bones.

Inventory:
-Various vials
-Dissecting Knives
-scissors
-Usually has some sticks of celery or other fruits stashed on her somewhere.
-Syringes

Familiar:
N/A

Squad Name:
N/A

Personality:
Meredith is usually quite the friendly person. She's a bit on the hyperactive side, More often than not, she acts like a kid. Her childish nature tends to annoy some people

Most people find her a bit odd, however, especially considering the time she spends studying biology and her...uhm...fascination with dissecting people and animals. She spends a lot of time studying human and animal anatomy and can pinpoint weak spots on humans quite quickly, and is quite intelligent in the Biological field.

She loves dissecting and meeting new creatures she's never seen before. It's her life mission to create a comprehensive guide to the biology and anatomy of every single living creature on earth. Or at least as damn well near to it as she can get.

Don't tell her aliens aren't real. just don't.

talks to herself a lot.

Loves messing with people she likes. If she does, it's a sign she likes you on some level.

Backstory:
Born in the US to a pair of doctors, Meredith had a relatively easy life growing up. Her parents were quite successful, and her father was a leading doctor in the field of cancer research. At an early age, just like her parents she was interested in the human body and the medical field as well, and devoted a lot of her time as a kid to learning about such topics.

However...eventually she grew rather bored with studying just humans. Which is when she turned to magic. It started with Alchemy. Just some minor things, but she wasn't satisfied and soon wished to attend Liseranna.

Where she met a guy, by the name of Graham. Thanks to her training a bit before, she was put into year 3, and he into year 2. However, seeing an opportunity she took it. So, she decided to learn Medela magic from him. And the two have been besties ever since. At least, in her opinion they're besties. 

He's honestly terrified of her.

Sometime during her fourth year, she decided she didn't need a catalyst any more, considering she was getting better with her magic, carrying one was a bit of a hassle so she tossed it and decided to undergo...a procedure to fix that. With a little help from Graham.

She carved open her own body, and carved Runes right into her bones. It was a painful, arduous task that took quite a while. She nearly died several times, but thanks to her control over her own body she was able to sustain herself. She could have stopped with just one, but that wouldn't do. If someone broke her bones, her shattered a rune that would be bad. So she carved them into three locations. On her sternum, one on her left humerus, and one on her shoulder blade. The intricate carvings all connect, but work independently of one another. However, even if one is shattered/broken it will significantly decrease the rate at which she can use magic. if all of them are shattered, she won't be able to use it at all, until they naturally heal.

And now she's a fifth year.

Bio

"Felas ahn yelk jeis umbros eilend pronthras"
 a spell used for magic activation.

Name: Edgar Quantus

Nicknames/Titles: Nine, Ninth heir of the Quantus House

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Race: Half Elf - mother Elf, father Human

Sexuality: Asexual, but if he ever passes that, heterosexual.

Year: Year 4, but with high expectation to reach Year 6 in the next year and a half.

Ranking Class: Warlock

Magic: Naturalis - Chronos Disruption

Passed down through the generations of the Quantus house was the ability to distort and alter temporal fields. Each heir to the house has a variant of this ability in which they specialise, though all follow the basic premise.

Chronos Distortion is the ability to distort and change time around a fixed point of the mages choosing. The amount of distortion that can be caused is in linked with the area being distorted, and can therefore be limiting in some applications. The ability itself has multiple primary functions, each of which can be used at any given time, or at the same time. The ability can be used to revert something back to its previous state in its timeline (eg, closing a wound), force something into a future state in its timeline (eg, making a wound more severe), or cause it to progress slower along its timeline (eg, slow something's growth). By using all applications of this ability, it may be possible to bring someone back to life, but no one has ever tried.

Temporal presence is my way of describing a person or objects presence in time. It can be how they move through time, how they interact with time, or how they affect a time stream or time line. A person moving through time is, of course, someone going in a continual constant through a certain timeline. How they interact is how they may alter or create branches within a timeline, causing parallel universes. And how they affect a timeline or timestream is how their constant could be affected through any means.

If Edgar were to, say, slow your physical nature down to a halt, or begin reversing it through time, that he would be altering you time stream in a certain way. If he were to alter your timeline, it would change that timeline specifically and cause a parallel branch to occur, with the effects decided by the GMs. If he alters your Temporal Presence as a whole, then he completely alters you within time, which could lead to dire effects (such include erasal from time, possible destruction of reality, some minor dinks in the ole' chronometer, etcetera).

Holding a person still and holding a persons temporal presence still are the same thing, but are slightly different. If he were to hold them in time, he would be affecting that precise moment and continual moments, decided by him (light chronos locks). 

If he were to hold your temporal presence completely still, it would prevent you from flowing through time for all continuous events from then forth. It would, in a sense, completely exclude you from time. If the universe were to implode, you wouldn't be affected.

Strengths: The ability is surprisingly diverse, and its applications are more or less endless. As well, all applications of the ability can be used simultaneously (eg, forcing a plant to the same state it was a day ago, then forcing it to grow slower). Edgar has quite a large mana pool, but can opt for alternate methods of casting if needs be. He can use the mana used previously be deconstructing a distortion, or he can deconstruct the temporal fields in their entirety for more casting options. The latter, however, is less preferred due to its unpredictable nature and side effects.

Weaknesses: The larger an area being affected by the ability, the less time can be changed within its timeline. As well, when closing a wound, eventually the wound will open again, and be twice as bad. Therefore the ability is only really a temporary solution to wounds.

Catalyst: Edgar has two tattoos etched into his hands, each one different to the respective hand. On the right is the symbol for time, a strange cog looking symbol with one of the protrusions replaced with a pointed looking edge. On the left the symbol for space, an X, but with all the lines heading out curved like a DNA spiral.

Inventory: Edgar carries around two daggers made of Starsteel, a rare material that glows in moonlight forged by a powerful alchemist contracted by the Quantus family. As well, he has 5 other daggers, smaller and made of dragonscale, hidden on his person.

Familiar: No familiar as of current, but he is looking to acquire one in the near future.

Squad Name:

Personality: I’m gonna leave this empty, simply because I want to play the character off a whim and how I want him to play, rather than be fixed to a personality.

Backstory: Edgar Quantus, or Nine as referred to by his siblings, was born into the prestigious family of Quantus as their ninth heir. People knew the family well, as it was the only known family to have every generation of heirs use time magic. The family took pride in that fact, and expected great things from every heir to be born.

Each heir had their own type of time magic, and therefore split into different divisions that they would follow to become the head of the family. Some took off to be scholars, some adventurers, others warriors, but Edgar chose a different path. Edgar followed the path of the assassin, and chose to head the stealth and assassination division of the family. His magic, and family connections, allowed him immediate access to the most prestigious magic academy, as his family would have nothing else, and he soon enrolled into Lesirenna.

On his twelfth birthday, his family contracted a powerful alchemist to construct a new material, a metal as strong as diamond, that could be sharpened like steel and would glow in the moonlight. And so the man did, and the first Starsteel blades were constructed and gifted to the young assassin, along with 5 other daggers forged from dragonscales.

(Sorry if the background is a bit shit… He really hasn't had anything interesting happen in his life other than entering Lesiranna and acquiring the blades. He is asexual, and his parents don't want to force marriage onto him. He is an excellent assassin and his kills almost always go to plan. He doesn't have a familiar, and his magic has only been getting stronger… I guess that's it xD)

"What do you mean "I'm not your type"? You don't even *hick* know me..."

Name: Synth Kane (at least, thats the alias he goes by. His real name is Joseph Drake, but nobody knows that).

Nicknames/Titles: The Watcher

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Race: Half human, half Fallen Angel. He hates his split race, so he keeps it a secret.

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Class:

Pythones - Uses of spirits inside and out of combat
Runic Language - Runes and their meanings
Contritio - Physical shadows
Praestigiae - The use of darkness to alter the mind

Ranking Class: Necromancer Class Magician, Illusionist Class Magician, Destructive Class Magician 

Magic:

Contritio: Encompassing Darkness - This magic allows him to physically manifest shadows, and in most cases control them. He can mould them into solid objects, like weapons or structures, but he can also physically possess them by fracturing his mind into several pieces, each taking hold of a single shadow and using that to fight.

Pythones: Abyssal Spectres - By summoning the variety of spirits located in the abyss, Synth can produce a variety of effects. From sealing energy away, to causing immense pain, etcetera. 

Praestigiae: Shadow Phantasm - With this magic, Synth alters a persons mind to become constantly paranoid, and see shadow beings everywhere they go. As the persons mental state slowly unwinds, the shadows become a much more regular thing, and become incredibly vivid. After about a week of losing their mind to the magic, the person falls into a coma from which they can only escape by slaying 3 of the creatures; a feat not so easily achievable since they spent a week scared and paranoid of them. Also, most people don't have a strong enough will to break from his Shadow Phantasm, making it almost inescapable.

Strengths: Both his Praestigiae and Pythones do not need darkness to use, unlike his Contritio, which makes them versatile despite their alignment. As well, all of his magic can be used from a distance, which makes them extremely easy to use without being seen, or discretely.  

Weaknesses: His Contritio magic requires something to be casting a shadow for use. Whether it be a light, fire, the moon, it doesn't matter. Shadow Phantasm can easily be shaken by attacking the creatures, so anyone with enough will to fight the paranoia and fear can break free. His Pythones requires some kind of evil presence to be used, though an evil thought, action or being will do it.

Catalyst: All across Synth's body are about 15000 tiny runes that he carved into himself using his spirit magic. The runes enhance his magic power, his affinity with shadows, but also some of his senses. They cannot be seen, however, because they are all still inhabited by the spirits that carved them, making them invisible.

Inventory: A butterfly knife, a revolver, his phone, and a small purple crystal.

Familiar: He had a familiar, one he had had since he was a teen, but it died a year after joining the school (as a student, not as a teacher. Though he has been teaching for 5 years now).

Squad Name: --

Pesonality: Same with Edgar, I'm gonna play him how I feel.

Backstory: Nobody actually knows his past, all except maybe the headmaster...

Actually, no, I'll tell you some stuff.

When Synth was 10, he was possessed by an abyssal spirit of strange power. He, however managed to fight and forced it to submit to his will. The spirit has all but subsided, but he still clings to the last bit of power left, which is what he uses to cast magic. It was that last shred of power that allowed him to carve the runes into himself, and the reason why he can still cast magic.

"I will ward you, be your guardian and your servant, Until your time ends."

Name: Nobody has heard his true name in a long time. He goes by Gall

Nicknames/Titles: Lesser Death of the Fairy Hills.

Age: He stopped counting a long time ago.

Gender: Male.

Race: Lesser Grim Reaper.

Sexuality: Heterosexual, though he's not had much in the way of relationships in a long time.

Year: His master is a year four student.

Magic: Neutra: Barriers
Gall can conjure barriers with his magic, using them to protect himself and his master. These barriers take the form of a hexagon, the hexagons being mostly see through with a hint of black. These barriers don't take much effort or mana to create, though having multiple out at once is taxing. How much the barriers can withstand, along with their size, varies mostly on how much mana and focus is being put into them. Assuming it is a single barrier that Gall is putting just enough thought into to keep it up the barrier will stop bullets, arrows, crossbow bolts and small fireballs. If he put all his focus into it however it is liable to holding off dragonfire, if only for a time.

Strengths: The strength of the barriers is that they can be created instantly so long as Gall is nearby. Another note is that he doesn't need to put all his focus into the barriers, allowing him to raise them in the middle of combat. And of course once the attack is stopped he could just do away with the barrier.

Weaknesses: The problems with the barriers is that they require focus to create. And also Gall needs to be aware of the area he is raising the barrier, if he can't see the spot where he puts it then he risks misplacing it. Another downside is that barriers aren't mobile, once one is created it doesn't move until dispelled or shattered, and on the subject of shattering, if one is broken it will create an amount of mental backlash equal to the amount of mana and focus going into it. So while a barrier meant to stop an arrow breaking might make Gall shudder, one raised to stop dragon fire or hold up falling rubble breaking may take Gall out of the fight entirely. 

Catalyst: As with any reaper, Gall has a scythe. His is relatively standard, a wooden haft and a iron blade able to cut through most traditional armors. The only unique feature of Gall's scythe is a carved symbol near the base of the haft, the heraldry of a French house.

Inventory: Gall is never without his scythe. He would normally also have a timepiece of some sort with which could see how much longer a person had to live, however since he signed a contract with a mortal this has been revoked by the reaper hierarchy until the contract completed.

Master:Lady Fiore

Squad Name: N/A

Pesonality: Grim. A cliche word to describe a reaper I know. Often cold and emotionless, mostly due to Gall being dead so long. However since being in contact with so many living things he has begun to open up again, if only barely. Every once in awhile he may make a sarcastic joke. Though one shouldn't count on it.

Backstory: Like all deaths save the first Gall was born a living person. However the only one to know of his past is himself and perhaps a few intrusive historians. He was assigned to the Dublin area when he became a reaper, and has faithfully carried out his duties since. That was, until he met a curious young mage. The girl caught sight of him while he was collecting the soul of a murder victim in an ally. The girl was apparently from France, here with her family for some reason. The two talked for a brief time, Gall had a moment before his next reaping, and she a few minutes before her family noticed her absence. However when she departed she left an impression on Gall. When she returned to him a year later to make a contract with him before she went to Liseranna, Gall couldn't not. Vows were made, and the two of them made final preparations. He went to his superiors and had his pocket watch taken along with his warrant for soul collecting, and then he returned to his new master.

"I think the best way to teach is to get the students fired up. Literally. With fire."

Name: Arthur Wick

Nicknames/Titles: Pyromaster, Hothead, Crazy Bastard

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Class:
Fire manipulation: How to burn things
Magical Creatures and their care: How to raise your dragon, among other such magical beasts
While not a official class, Arthur has also made time to coach students on how to use a spear in combat if they wish

Ranking Class:
Destructive Class Magician
Sage Class Magician

Magic:
Contritio - Flame: An extremely simple form of magic, but dangerous. From the mages hands fire shoots out, catching objects, and enemies, aflame. If used correctly it can decimate armies. Incorrectly it can burn down schools of magic. A fact that Arthur has had to remind both himself and his students more than once.
Contritio - Pillar of Justice: Arthur's own take on the common flaming weapon technique, his spear is cast in flames, however unlike the standard use of this his weapon takes on some more properties. The weapon becomes encased in light as well as flame, blinding those nearby, though not effecting Arthur. The weapon also becomes more potent against people with 'evil' in their hearts, or to be less vague, people who in the last year have knowingly and without regret stolen without need, murdered without just cause, or cheated in what was meant to be fair.
Neutra - Spontaneous Blink: A technique that allows the mage to instantly teleport, the drawback being that he has to see the location. However the teleportation is instant. There is the option to be less instant, instead taking roughly a minute or so of mental effort to teleport to anywhere the mage has seen before, however this magic eats up mana rather quickly regardless of how you use it.

Strengths:
Regarding Flame: Flame requires very little mana and effort to use, and when one puts more mana and mind power into it flame can become overwhelming. And of course it doesn't take a magician class wizard to see the benefits of fire in a fight.
Regarding Pillar of Justice: Pillar of Justice also doesn't take much mana, though it is draining mana away slowly with it's use. And like before, it doesn't take much to see how fire can help in a fight, and blinded enemies fall that much quicker to the onslaught of fire. Being stronger against the people Arthur is most likely to fight to the death is also a major plus.
Regarding Spontaneous Blink: Being able to appear somewhere else nearby in an instant is hugely helpful in a fight, turning a dangerous spot into a cornered enemy, or two head on charges rushing into one another into a flanking maneuver. And of course the best way to keep students on their toes is to be everywhere in the room at once, nobody will be cheating or not paying attention if the instructor can be right behind them without warning.

Weaknesses:
Regarding Flame: Arthur, despite how it may seem at times, is not fireproof. He may have fireproofed clothing and wards in place, but they can't hold back the amount of fire he is liable to use when he fight earnestly. And of course fire burns more than flesh, and if the arena aflame is the inside of a structure than said structure risks collapsing, and Arthur really isn't falling chunks of wood and stone proof.
Regarding Pillar of Justice: The main drawback of pillar of justice is how much mana is consumes. While at any one time it isn't using much mana, during long battles it starts to drain the mana pool. Arthur counterbalances this by using a less intensive technique when fighting with his spear, but it still saps his energy far faster than he'd like. And of course blind allies aren't very helpful, meaning Arthur can't really use this in group engagements.
Regarding Spontaneous Blink: At first glance the chief concern for this magic is the fact that you can only teleport to where you see if you still want truely spontaneous, and that is a drawback, but the biggest problem with this magic is just how much mana it uses. While not the most mana consuming spell in the planet, it is certainly harsh on the mana pool. 

Catalyst: Arthur has three objects he uses to channel his magic, so that he isn't found without.
His spear, Sorrow's Reach, a longspear with a hook halfway up the blade, we'll talk more about it in a moment.
A unrefined ruby, fastened to a golden chain around his neck, which seems to hold a flame swirling inside if one stares at it.
And a small white yellow candle he keeps in his pocket. He says that it creates a blue flame when lit, but it hasn't been lit in a long time, otherwise it would get even shorter.

Inventory: Besides from his wallet, pocket watch, keys and other basic things Arthur has his spear, Sorrow's Reach. It is six feet long, with the haft being made of birch treated to be black as night. The tip makes up the final foot of it's length, and halfway down has a hook. The tip is made up of a magically treated steel which has left it shiny and damn near incapable of being melted. Arthur is well versed in his use of his spear, years of training have made him as adept with it as he is fire. It wasn't forged by him however, but rather a friend. But we'll get to that in a bit.

Familiar:Joulie Valkyrie

Squad Name: None right now, though during his years as a student he was part of a squad, though he doesn't like talking about it.

Pesonality:
Arthur has an interesting way of looking at things, which affects his teaching methods. He will set his students on fire if he thinks it'll help them manipulate fire. He looks at the world at large with a rather cheery attitude, living in the moment whenever life will allow him. He doesn't stress easily, making casual conversation with his foes even in life or death duels. But the moment he gets angry, one best watch out. He is a pyromancer, and when his heart is filled with fire, you'll know.

Backstory: Arthur wasn't born into fortune, but he was born into magic. Living in the United States with his magical mother and non-magical father Arthur had a good life, until the death of his mother. He was ten, and it ruined him. It was then that his innate skill with fire began to show. Torching his home in grief and then after realizing what he had done he ran, not seeing his father ever again. He ended finding himself face to face with a unnaturally large wolf, and Arthur's fire didn't burn it. Without options and with his back to a low stone cliff he thought his life ended, until something flew over head, and lodged a spear into the wolves' head. Before Arthur was a tall, lanky being, with black feathered wings and short horns sprouting from an angular head. The man referred to himself as Ethan, and took Arthur under his wing.

With Ethan Arthur learned how to control his magic, and learned more about the world of magic and myth. Ethan was a fallen angel, child to a demon and angel, an outcast in the world at large. He was however, a master of the spear, a tactical genius, and a man of unshakable faith. Arthur learned much from him, and when he was sixteen Ethan supplied him the money to go to Liseranna, a school for magic where Arthur could further hone his powers. The last thing Ethan gave Arthur, was Sorrow's Reach, Ethan's magnum opus, a gift that Arthur would keep by his side from then on.

Arthur did well at the academy, learning from the best and brightest and before long was a member of a party, using his flames and spear for the benefit of his friends. In his sixth year however, his team had a bad mission. Their leader found them an easy job, clear out some cave that had apparently had rich veins of metal inside. Nobody could have predicted the dragon. Of course, it was one hell of a fight, but the beast was a master of destruction, fire and lighting shout from its mouth, its claws were scythes and its teeth swords, its tail a ram. The only survivor was Arthur, who stood over the corpse of the dragon, broken. He took what he could from that cave, enough gold and gems to last him for years, the corpses of his friends in need of burial, and a strange rock that he felt strangely attached to. It was after that ordinal, and his graduation at the end of the year, that he began a year of carefree whimsy. He drove fast cars down long roads, chased exotic woman, and found himself staring into the bottom of more bottles than he'd care to count. At the end of that year though his strange rock from the dragon's cave hatched. Out came a small dragonling, a runt if ever Arthur has seen one. He knew he had to care for it, who else would? And with that he needed a more solid lifestyle. He applied for a job at Liseranna and through some degree of luck got it, and has been teaching for about fourteen years now, his pet dragon at his apartment. A cat like-dragon, a job at the best magic school in the world, and still rich beyond some's imagination, what more could Arthur possibly want?

"One mans pain is another mans pleasure."

Name: Richard Dowel

Nicknames/Titles: Nothing really

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race:Human

Sexuality: Asexual, panromantic

Year: 5

Ranking Class: Warlock 

Magic: Medela: Tainted Remedy. He can transfer wounds from one person to another, including himself. He needs to be able to see the two people he's transferring wounds between, and more complex wounds will take longer to fully transfer. He can send a cut almost instantly, but it would take a minute to transfer something like a projectile wound that goes through organs. 

Strengths: His magic has a pretty long range, and can be pretty debilitating in battle. When fighting on a team, he has the distinct advantage of being able to keep his team fighting and fine, while still hurting the adversary. He has a fairly large mana pool, and He also can use his own life force as mana, but he does this sparingly, as he cannot heal wounds created through this process.

Weaknesses: His magic is seen as very, very dark, so it's scares most people. In addition, due to the nature of his magic, he always needs to strike second. It also requires a bit of concentration, so he needs either distance between himself and the enemy, or he needs them to lay off for a few seconds. He also needs to be able to touch the wound he wishes to transfer.

Catalyst: He has a set of gloves with runes inscribed on the palms and fingertips.

Inventory: His catalyst, a small dagger, nothing else besides that.

Familiar: None to speak of as of yet

Squad Name: Let me know if anybody wants to be on his squad.

Are They The Leader Of The Squad?: Probably not

Personality: He really does wanna help people, and he hates that the best way for him to do that is to hurt others. He'd be lying if he said that he didn't love the power he gets from his unique magic though. While he hates hurting people who don't deserve it, he loves that he can inflict a sort of karmatic justice on people. Was a first year beat up by a bully they could never stand up to? What could be better than giving the bully a taste of their own medicine? 

Backstory: His mom was a human Medela mage, and his dad was a human that happened to be possessed by a Pythones when he was being conceived. While this didn't affect his biology, it's probably what gave him such a double edged sword of a magical ability. Dad disappeared before he was born. His mom was a Liseranna alum and his family has a lineage of mages stretching back many centuries , so she had expected him to have some form of magical prowess from the moment he was born. He inherited his catalyst from his mother, who inherited it from her father,and so on. he first discovered his ability when his mom was patching him up from a scraped knee. He wanted to be like mommy, so Richard asked for the catalyst, and healed his knee, but gave it to his mom. This scared his mom, who was still able to easily heal her own wound, but was still shocked that such a thing could be done. She decided to start homeschooling him, and getting him to control and learn how to use his magic, but he always struggled on how to heal without harming.. At the age of 12, he was sent off to Liseranna, where he has been learning and mastering his magic ever since.

"And that, class, is why you should try your hardest to keep in my good books."

Name: Alistair Kuruz

Nicknames/Titles: The Prodigy, The Roilmage, Runemarked.

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Class:
- Magical Theory: The craft behind the craft
- Combative Magic: How to ignite a person in 10 ways
- English: Not Magic
- Psychology: Not magic

Ranking Class: Destructive and Druid Class magician.

Magic:

Contritio - Lightning Ascendant : Alistair is able to create and manipulate energy that resembles the crackling of lightning. Going from small numbing zaps to Zeus-esque bolts of lightning. 

Contritio - Flame Beckoner - able to create and manipulate flame. Alistair's preferred method of delivering flames to a target is shaped as various birds.

Naturalis - Storm Caller - Manipulation of the weather; wind, rain, waves and lightning.

Strengths: Alistar is solely focused on the idea of magic as a form of power to be exerted. As such, his magic is mostly combat focused. His high precision lightning, wide area flames and fury driven storms are designed to annihilate.

Weaknesses: With the high combat focus, Alistair is very much lacking in every other aspect of magic. He understands them, he just thinks there's no point to them.

Catalyst: Alistair's arms are marked in thin crimson lines, each etching unique runes of his rituals to call forth spells. They were all created and cut by his own hands. He is quite proud of them. The ruby lines flare to life when magic floods through them.

Inventory: Wallet, keys, a phone. 

Familiar: -

Squad Name: -

Personality: Alistair is a gifted individual, astoundingly intelligent and gifted with a focus that people say is not natural for a human. Alistair generally pays them no mind, he simply wishes to learn more and more about magic. His thirst for knowledge and curiosity form the core precepts of his personality. As a teacher, Alistair is rather well liked certain students that value the Prodigy’s knowledge. He tends to attempt to hold himself in a position of calm authority, despite his anger occasionally getting the better of him; usually due to a student unwilling to grow. 

Backstory: Alistair was born to two scholars, mundane in the ways of magic but prestigious in their own fields of study. At a young age it was obvious the child Alistair was extraordinary in all aspects of scholarly endeavours, learning languages in days shortly after learning to read and write. He was lauded as a prodigy. Compared to beings greater than what Alistair could even hope to achieve in his own mind, but he remained silent about these thoughts. 

As the child grew slightly older, his fascination with magic turned to an utter focus. The mind of the young child became pinpointed upon learning more about the fascinating art of spells and rituals and incantations. The small seven year old boy was easily accepted into the academy, his prenatural inclinations giving him rather quick precedent over the other applicants. Thus, Alistair’s formative years were in the academy. His bookish behaviour was an overwhelming factor in his childhood; always straight laced, trying to be the best in his class, even showing up some teachers at some point. It was at the age of about fourteen that Alistair started to become the overconfident and ego driven man. The surge of hormones, the realization that he enjoyed the company of pretty women and they enjoyed the way he carried himself as a teenager brought down the ‘nerdy’ character set forward. Of course, outside of his ‘escapades’ with his peers, the Prodigy still kept a laser focus upon mastering magic. At the age of fifteen, Alistair discovered writing about the use of magic without a catalyst. The act of inscribing the magic upon ones skin. Alistair knew that he could accomplish it without a hitch. Mostly. Upon a darkened night, the moon full above the child wizard’s head. He followed the instructions written in the musty pages of the tome. The blade made of a reaper’s bone ripped at his skin. The thick catalyst he poured into the rune scripts made from dragon blood and demon ichor. The flesh healed over quickly, forming the runes he soon became known form. The child had completed the ritual spell and could cast his contritio magic with much greater finesse than before, after all...it had become a part him. With the new-found skill and his prodigal mind set, the man became one of the youngest humans to pass through the academy and become a teacher right after graduation.

"You like what you see?"




Don't look at me like that, I didn't think of it
Name: Alucard

Old lady called me that, dunno why
Nicknames/Titles:Halfblood

Age:Rude.

Well I mean if you want to get technical about it
Gender: Male

Human right?
Race: Fallen angel

Sexuality:*wink*

Guess I could use some work
Year: 4

I can take ya in a fight though.
Ranking Class: Sorcerer

Sounds super cool right?
Magic:Neutra: Yin-Yang
Alucard can enhance or weaken things. Anything to be vague. It has to be a balance though, if not an exact one. In exchange for amping his speed and strength Alucard can remove his sense of hearing. In exchange for weakening an opponents magic abilities he enhances their hearing. The amount of change in one thing has to be somewhat in proportion to another. Losing your sense of smell wouldn't do much, but losing your sense of touch would do much more. Of course these things are also relative to the person they are affecting. Someone may lose their eye sight, but can see with their magic, thus not a major lose. Inversely someone may depend on their eye sight to use their magic, making it a far greater lose.

All of them!
Strengths: Allows him to dictate the terms for any fight he enters into and this doesn't drain his mana very much either.

None!
Weaknesses: While Alucard can use this magic almost freely, he can only do it within limits. He can't weaken something without strengthening something else. In addition he can only swap up to two things at this point, one for each hand. If he tries to exchange two very unequal things then his power fizzes out and he can't use it for up to a day, in addition to becoming physically drained.

Kinda creepy really
Catalyst: Yin on the top of his hand and yang on the bottom of one hand and the inverse on the other. The lines appear to be carved into his flesh.

Its actually really useful
Inventory: A pen and a pack of sticky notes, and a credit card with an undisclosed amount of money on it.

Familiar:You volunteering?

Squad Name: -

Are They The Leader Of The Squad?:Eh?

Pesonality: Alucard is somewhat, well arrogant and narcissistic. Confident in his own skills and the inferiority of others. He tends to come off that way as well. Alucard enjoys flirting and many hobbies, mainly he detests being bored. Despite his awareness that everyone is inferior to him he is very curious and likes learning things about other people and things. In particular he keeps track of every kind of magic he has ever encountered, he sometimes thinks about writing a book.

Backstory: Alucard's first memory was waking up in an alley, with nothing and him but the clothes on his body, a credit card, and his name. Finding himself rather hungry he immediately went to purchase some food and found his credit card had a limit of undefined. The rest is rather simple. Having no idea of his past and no idea where he wanted his future to be Alucard ended up traveling around the world, going where ever whimsy took him. After a couple years he ran into an old lady who explained to him the nature of his tattoos and the power he had. Initially Alucard brushed it off but experimented with it over the next few year, slowly becoming proficient in its use. After pulling a stunt that got a little too much attention he got the offer of jail-time or Liseranna academy. Remembering that jail was incredibly boring after the first few hours Alucard accepted the invitation.

Kurosawa Emi:

"Why will no one love me? No nevermind, I know the reason."

Kurosawa never fails to wear long sleeves and often wears a maroon colored dress over a white blouse. Her chest is a bit larger and that makes her feel very self-conscious. Her shoes are normal black flats which are about the only skin you can see of her body. Long sleeves are worn because of the bruises and scars that have occupied her skin. She will pull them up at times and the marks will become visible but after she realizes that someone has seen it, she will quickly pull them back down. Her height is a pretty average.

Titles: Master Kurosawa, Emi (only people that she is close to), trash (Only called this by her mother and father).

Age: 17 (18 IN one week)

Gender: Female

Race: Fallen Angel and a witch 

"Love..? I-I... No one deserves to have to be with a person like me."
Sexuality: She has never fallen in love (Or she did not realize) but she thinks that it would be Demisexual.

>Love is something that she loves to watch happen. One of her favorite types of novels to read are romance novels (Favorite are mystery novels). I guess she would like it if someone were to love her but she does not think that it is actually possible. If someone fell for her, she would most likely not notice much at all.  

Year: 5 (However, Elise would be a year 6)

Ranking class: Enchanter

"I'ts a curse."
Magic: Pythones: Torture (Main) Elise and Verin

Strengths: The power to give others the feeling of torture to anyone that she wants to. It transfers the pain 2 times worse than the pain she is experiencing or thinking of at the time. If she were to be dying, she could give 2/3 of the pain to the other person while having to only deal with 1/3 of it afterward.

Weaknesses: This power is something that wants to cause pain to others. If she actually suppresses the urge, the pain will not only cause her to have the pain 2 times worse but if she is thinking of something like torture, it will make that pain become extremely real and sometimes worse. Also, once she manages to suppress it, coughing up blood and getting a major headache is a normal occurrence.
-Loves weapons and such~
-Pretty much every spell she does has a set back for herself and occasionally others.

>The power has a personality of its own. It is the darker side of Emi, mixed with anger. Emi does not know this, but if she blacks out, there is a chance that her other side will take control of her body. However, this is a rare occurrence and only happens when Emi is extremely depressed. The personality is brutal, rude, and very sarcastic but it does have it's good sides. The only reason it is like this is because it is mad at Emi for allowing herself to always get pushed around and beaten. The only time it has come out was when she had to get away from her parents. What happened was _____. Often joins in on her thoughts and calls herself Elise.

"Who, me? I just want to have some fun~"

- She's a potion freak. Obsessed with them.

Magic 2- Verandia: Dark beauty
 Though not perfect, she has the ability to create beauty with her sorrow. Often her sadness will create black and red roses around her. Other times it will simply cause a dark shadow to appear behind her. . What of? -- Reveal later(powerful). These roses are a powerful barrier and the flowers are physical. You could touch them but also block an attack with it. 
-Can summon at any time if she is Elise. Afterwards Emi will be in a... bad state. 
Downside- She does not do this on purpose which means that something bad comes when it happens. The red roses will most likely create a sharp pain causing her to cough blood or simply begin to drip blood from her fingernails. (Used to this).

"I don't have anything like that..."
Skills: Reading and writing are something she excels in but math and science are a passion of hers. Math is her favorite subject to learn about.
 As well as her main spell, if she actually wanted to she is able to enchant people to follow her orders for about 10 minutes. She learned this from Akito
 Drawing and playing the violin are things that she is very good at and does often. Though whenever she draws something, she will most likely rip it up afterward. (Mostly scenery and other things that she sees) 

Catalyst: A scar that is star shaped with a sword in the middle, which was inflicted onto her by her mother. It is positioned on her arm, just above her wrist. It appears to be bleeding but that is just the way it appears. While it does give her more strength, the main reason it was given to her at the time was punishment. For the first 2 months that she had it, it often caused her to blackout and have extreme pains within her body. It does still hurt, so if someone were to grab her arm suddenly and grip onto it, there is a high chance that she will begin to scream a bit and tears may fall. (Made by the shadow sword)

Inventory: She always has a black satchel. It contains a full on first aid kid, a pencil, various pills for different reasons (No, not illegal drugs), notepad, a strip of paper that says the words "To die is only to flee" It is her good luck charm given to her by ______, always a book, and a bunch of more stuff to help her get through a day. 
> Her weapon is a powerful shadow sword that was given to her by her father. She only knows the name and that it can break just about anything it touches. Also, if she manages to concentrate enough, it has the power to heal wounds. It only appears when she wants it to. Thoughts are what trigger it to show in her hands.

The sword causes her to remember and experience the pain that her father caused her. It takes her back to a cage that she was often chained in and will last for about 15-20 minutes. She will cry and then rest for a while after using it. The reason is that though this is a powerful weapon that can help her, the main reason her father bound it to her was because he cast a spell over it to contain every horrible thing that was done to her.

>It can also transform into a violin. She learned how to play the violin when she was 5, secretly and has practically mastered it. The only thing that makes her truly happy is about only playing the violin. She mostly plays it when she is alone and does not like tot be watched playing, not that she would notice if someone saw her. However, this does not change the fact that it makes her sad at the same time. Tears will fall but she will be happy all the same. (Confusing, no?)

"...It's all my fault."
Familiar: Not a familiar but she used to have a loyal servant/friend that helps her when she needs it. He is gone now so I guess not.

" W-why would anyone even want me in their squad..?"
Squad Name: --- May join later if she wants to.

"I-I...Sorry."
Personality: Emi is someone that practically hates herself and never thought that she deserved to live. She may come off as a girl that doesn't care about others to some people but that is not true at all. She does try her best to be less negative so that the people around her are not affected but often fails. Extremely shy, jittery, and awkward in front of people that she doesn't know but is more clingy, cute, and sweet with people she is used to. Even if she is used to them, that does not mean that she actually laughs a lot around them. It just means that she can actually smile more with them. She does love and treasure the people that she is close to which mostly consisted of Tanakasa Akito. She is very easy to scare and becomes worried about others easily. Complimenting people is a habit of hers but she is not a fan of receiving them. She is not exactly capable of hating anyone. Her parents are not even hated by her since she believes that she deserves everything bad that comes to her.
-Making her laugh wholeheartedly isn't hard but it isn't easy either.

"I-It wasn't their fault, ok? Don't blame them. They had their own reason. I was the one that caused them grief."
Background: Born into a rich family in Japan, she was often expected to become a proper and prestigious woman to rule the house. They lived in a traditional Japanese home. Her parents were often looked up to by the people around and called the most "honest and kind" people. 

 However, her parents were not as perfect as they seemed. Her father often beat her at night while her mom verbally abused her day and night. Father and mother just told her that she deserved it every time for being born. This started when she was 5. At this time, it was only occasionally punches and slaps but it got more extreme by the day. 

 The only person that helped her ever was Akito. He was able to save her one day, finding her chained up after 1 week. He took her to his father's home and they decided to have her stay there. She lived there for 1 year until his father sent them to Liseranna so that they could master their magic and get away from their hometown. Before they could leave together, Akito went missing. She searched for 1 month but no luck. She still thinks that her parents had something to do with it but when she went to see them, they denied it and nearly caught her again, causing her to run away before they could.-Not whole story. More in IC.

"I only want for you to smile a true smile. Don't worry about me. I'll be happy if you as long as you are."

Iravis Ustrina

"Never wake me up.  Especially if the house is on fire."

Nicknames/Titles: 'Phoenix' is probably the most commonly used.  Has been mistaken for many existent gods, called an angel, and the inspiration for some non-existent deities.

Age: When asked about her age, Iravis probably responds with fire in her eyes, her voice rising in volume. "I have received offerings, laughed at Christ's resurrection, turned Latium to ashes, been a companion to Charlemagne in his conquests, and led Tancred over the walls of Jerusalem.  I have lived over four thousand years, and am a goddess worthy of worship!"

But her eyes drift downwards after that explanation, her voice suddenly quiet.  If she trusts you, she might continue. "I've lived in a cage, a curiosity. Now I've practically become a pet.  The most violent thing I've done recently is set fire to the curtains.  I just turned seventeen years old..."

Gender: Female
Race: Phoenix

Sexuality:"As a bird, I've always found eagles strangely attractive!"

Year: N/A

Powers: The Goddess has received many over time, but these are the ones she has currently.

Inferno
As a bird of flame, in most of her lives Iravis has been gifted with the ability to wield and manipulate fire.  Although able to target an individual, her spells are most useful as an area-of-effect sort of attack.  Additionally, the more fire that surrounds her, the stronger she is.  This means that fighting in a city grants her an exponential power curve as she burns more of it down.  Additionally, it means she is much stronger in deserts and during the day when the sun is out.

Lacrima
As in the legends, the Phoenix is renown for her legendary power of healing.  Not only can she never truly die, but her tears are capable of great healing.  She also heals faster than normal, having the ability to heal very minor wounds in a few minutes despite having tears.  She has never figured out how she respawns, but her dreams are only memories of previous lives.

Phoenix
And of course, she can turn into the phoenix.  She hasn't done this yet this life, but she will eventually.  As of now, she has to be very frustrated (not necessarily angry) in order to perform the transformation which exhausts her.  Lyssa's laptop is currently the only reliable method for this.  In both human and bird form she has enhanced vision and hearing.  Lastly, her nails in human form are very, very sharp.  Like talons.

A massive winged beast, colored orange with the tips of it's wings becoming first red then leading to blue ends that seem to dance like fire.  Its eyes were sapphires, the deepest blue of the Nile.

A storyteller could spend a thousand other lines describing the beast's majesty, the bird's divine presence.

Smite
Honestly, she's never fired the spell.  She has no idea what it does.

Strengths: Both of her magic has extremely high potential in both human and bird form.  Very few have been able to surpass her, and around age 300 she reaches a nearly unstoppable peak of strength.  Additionally, it is very hard to actually burn her.

Weaknesses: Both of her magics are also uncontrollable.  If angry, surrounding fires will begin to rise uncontrollably.  Her tears of healing can be taken through beatings, allowing her worst enemies to heal from her power.  While around 135 she is able to control her full mana at will, but up until then it usually leads to disaster.

Catalyst: She is awaiting an offering from a mortal.

Inventory: Typically whatever she has been offered.  In this case, the dress featured in the picture.

Master: N/A

Squad Name: N/A

Personality: Being praised as a goddess in her dreams, Iravis sometimes forgets that she isn't one.  Her mood often depends on what she remembered the night before, leading to a strange randomness where she experiences happiness, sadness, horniness, fear, and all the other emotions throughout the day as she copes with the memories.  Iravivs' sarcasm is legendary, largely due to the fact that death is really, really meaningless for her.  Although in this life she tends towards being weak and submissive, some days she is extremely confrontational and argues with dragons.

Backstory: Born some time before 2000 BC, an Egyptian girl entered an argument with a man who claimed he was a god. Turns out the man actually was Ra, Egyptian bird God of the Sun.  As punishment, she was cursed with the inability to die.  Her memories rarely go back this far, so she knows very little about her initial life as a human.

Appearing many times in history, she has always favored the Greeks and the Egyptians.  But as with humans, she always follows the one she loves first.  Her death usually is caused by her love one way or another in the end, but the Phoenix never got angry about it.  She believes a few times she has actually approached her ex-lover in the next life and had nice conversations.  Henry VIII had her three times, which she thinks is the currently held record.

The First Crusade: 1,2

In this life, for her youngest years she was held captive by a group of corrupt mages, literally having the tears beat out of her. Kept in a room, she was taught about language, math, history and many other things by her captors. Iravis never figured out who was benefiting from her healing magic, and never could figure out why her captors didn't throw her in a literal cage.  

Eventually, a group of mages from Liseranna rescued her and brought her to the place she calls home now...

"We are born of gold, made men by gold, and undone by gold."

Name: Logarius Okropir

Nicknames/Titles:Moneybags, Loggins, Midas

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human, with Dwarven ancestry

Sexuality: Pretty much as heterosexual as they come

Year: 3

Ranking Class: Sorceror

Magic: Alchimia: Aurum Fountain, Logarius is in tune with the elements of the periodic table that he can nearly absentmindedly transmute elements by displacing electrons and fullfilling certain valence pairs whilst ignoring and changing others. And while this can potentially have disastrous results, there's no place where he's more comfortable than with the creation of element no. 79, Aurum, gold. As with the rest of his family, his skill with the creation and manipulation of gold is nearly unmatched.
While he prefers not to use it for combat, he can and very thoroughly. He can, mid battle, switch gold back and forth between solid and liquid and form it into various weapons/tools to aid him. Outside of combat, he prefers to use it in constructive manners such as creating decorations, statues, even creating gold thread for sewing. The gold itself has no technical value, it's not actually legal tender, it's raw gold.

Strengths: Multiple applications, creative uses, can be used for protection, great conductor of electricity, isn't particularly complex.

Weaknesses: Tends to leave him drained when used too quickly, can be volatile, requires other materials to reach the density of gold, gold isn't exactly the strongest metal.

Catalyst:  His front four teeth, which are carved out of gold with runes written into the front and back.

Inventory: He has a full set of gold band rings which are worn on all of his fingers excepting the ones that have his catalysts. Wallet, a bag of assorted chunks of metal, spare glasses, a grill consisting of gold plating to disguise the naturality of the rest of his teeth.

Familiar: N/A

Squad Name:

Pesonality: Despite what his appearance would show, Logarius is quite down to earth and humble about the wealth that he potentially has. His family's wealth has not gotten to his head, and he refuses to spend more than he thinks that he can earn by working and creating things. He's also quite pacifistic, being not a big fan of fighting, but he's more than capable of defending himself when he has to. He's seemingly not worried about drama, failures, or the issues of the human condition. Logarius believes that when something bad happens, it should be observed, analyzed, then left in the past. It's unknown if he actually practices what he preaches, however.

Backstory:  While not necessarily born into nobility, he was born into a highly respected family in an noble establishment that was stationed near quite a few tribal civilizations. For several generations, his family alone had a tradition that was very noticeable and unmistakeably them. The eldest of their sons would have their teeh replaced with ones made out of gold so as to become closer to the elements. When Logarius was born, his parents held off on doing it as he seemed to show no signs of magic whatsoever. However as he became older and got more curious with the world, his natural talent began to show and his parents scooped him up so as to begin the ritual.

With quite a bit of assistence from magic, a lot of hot water, and a large amount of golden teeth. The process was simple, yet painful all at the same time. Remove the baby teeth, remove any teeth growing under them, then plant the golden teeth into the holes where the previous teeth were. Unfortunately, Logarius was the first in four generations to be unable to go through the whole operation, only able to get his top four teeth removed before the pain got to him. 

His parents, and other relatives who had all gathered to see the ritual go through as it had for Logarius's uncle, his father before him, and his father's father. This lead to extra malign, not just from his parents but from almost the entirety of his family to the point where they hardly could look at him.

They wanted to disown him, but Logarius argued and argued for his case along with the few people that he could get to agree with him after his show at the ritual, and he was offered a much more peaceful solution. He was to be sent off to the best mage academy so as to potentially make something of himself. Although, from the eyes of his parents, it was simply getting rid of him. He swore that he would make himself so worth of his parent's attention that they'd forget the mistake he made.

Strengths: Animals are everywhere even massively urban areas so Amelia has an certain amount of choice, Amelia can create mythological creatures out of the elements and these are among the strongest.

Weaknesses: Animals like humans possess a certain degree of free will so while they must heed her call they aren't compelled to obey her, this is especially true of mythological creature as the are nigh-impossible to control. Creating animals takes time, though if she draws the creature it doesn't take as long though in the heat of battle it's precious time to waste. Animals that are made are weak against their elemental opposites and will be dispelled.

Backstory: Amelia never knew her mother or father being a fallen angel she was promptly abandoned, had it not been for a kindly lady who unofficially adopted her she might have died, she quickly grew up helping tend her mother's garden, However she was not free from prejudice under her adopted mother and fearing her power as a fallen angel Amelia was in a way forced to use a catalyst and is dependent on it to use magic, years were spent on hiding her full power,she still sees her dad, of course not personally but in the distance, in the corner of her eye, he's just there looking on in disgust at the abomination he created, he told her about liseranna, not in person naturally but through notes and letters that mysteriously appear outside her door. she now travels to Liseranna with hopes of honing her skills and advance to year 6, she just hopes she can keep her fallen angel status a secret, no one found out when she was being tested at liseranna but she doesn't know if she can keep up the human act.

"Clearly, my parents weren’t very creative."


Name: Runik Brandt
Nicknames/Titles: Rune, Twin Sleeved
Appearance: Red-eyed and aqua-haired, Runik makes for a rather noticeable individual. Add in that he's about 5'11 and he certainly stands out in the crowd. His arms are covered with vine-like tattoos and if he's ever without a shirt, it's clear they twist and turn on most of his body. He doesn't seem to feel too strongly about them, caring little if they're exposed or covered up.

Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Sexuality: Unsure.

Year: 6
Ranking Class: Destructive Class Magician, Warlock Naturalis

Magic:
Naturalis: With the Flow - Transfer energy from one area and a shift in temperature can result. Sap enough energy and water vapor will eventually freeze as the temperature plummets, while another area might grow uncomfortably hot. Adjust the air above someone and lightning might just find it easiest to reach down and strike them. Manipulations like these are what Runik is capable of as a Naturalis Warlock.

Contritio: The First Spark - Fire and lightning are Runik’s specialization when it comes to the destructive school of magic, given the similarities. As a result of his abilities with Naturalis though, he’s also skilled in manipulating ice and is most often seen wielding the two opposing elements at the same time. He doesn’t expend his mana on making his destructive spells more powerful, but instead focuses on maintaining control while manipulating the environment around to strengthen his spells. 

Strengths: Immensely destructive, relatively efficient (thanks to the synergy between Contritio and Naturalis), and most certainly flashy. If something needs to get destroyed and people need to know it’s been destroyed than Runik is who you want. With an impressive mana pool and a catalyst that’s tuned to him, he shines when it comes to the offense.

Weaknesses: A complete lack of substantial defenses. He can shape ice into a sort of barrier, or raise a wall of flame between him and opponents, but both are simply defensive applications of what are really offensive powers. Also, what the heck do people mean by subtle and low-key? He’s got tattoo sleeves that fucking glow when he uses his magic for god’s sake. Does that seem subtle?!?

Catalyst: Runik bears a sprawl of runic tattoos that cover both arms and the majority of his chest and back. In-line with his magic circuits, they were etched into his body at a young age and seemed to have expanded and developed as he’s grown. 

Inventory: Standard teenager belongings such as phone, wallet, maybe a portable gaming device. Likes to keep a bag of nuts and dark chocolate around for a small pick-me-up.

Familiar: None.
Squad Name: N/A
Are They The Leader Of The Squad?: N/A

Personality: Upbeat and confident, Runik is the type to tackle challenges head-on and with a grin. A lover of competition and friendly banter, it’s the means rather than the result and he doesn’t put much weight on victory or loss. Perhaps Runik enjoys grand displays of destruction a bit too much, but thankfully his self-control isn’t non-existent. It might take a good smack on the head to rein him in every once in awhile, but he’ll be thankful and apologetic rather than confrontive at the least.

Backstory: Is this really necessary? It is? Well, brace for the edge and grimdark that might just slip into grimderp. 

Occasionally a child with great a mana pool is born into a family that has no prior experience with the supernatural world. Runik, or whatever his previous name was, was one such of these children. While his potential was great, it seemed that it might have never been tapped as his parents remained oblivious to his gift. That was until a group approached them, interested in the child’s great mana pool. His parents loved him dearly and didn’t wish to part ways, but unfortunately this group wasn’t very nice and didn’t really care for what “mundanes” wanted.

A tragedy reported as an accident, and the child was whisked away at the age of four. The experiments began quickly enough as they carved their projects and hypotheses into his skin and flesh. Things never did come to a finish as the group was discovered and dispatched of. As for him? A pair of those responsible for the discovery found and adopted him, giving him a new name, home, and parents. Unexpectedly, the memories of this time weren’t repressed, but then again it’s pretty hard to forget when the results greet him in the mirror every day.

It was quite clear that he was headed to a magic school of some sort when he was old enough, the only question was which one. Despite the invitation that arrived when he turned 10, it wasn’t a year later that Runik attended Liseranna. His father had just retired and the family spent the year together, as a whole for the first time. The delay has evidently done little to hinder Runik’s advancement through the school though.

Enrolled at the age of 11 as a Year 3 Warlock in Contrito.
Got into his first match the following year, reclassified as Conjurer, and bumped up to Year 4. Started to become a regular at sparring arenas and dueling events at that time as well.
Gained the Class of Enchanter in Naturalis when he was 13, and nothing else to really say about that year.
Moved up to Sorcerer the following year while still trying to make that final jump to receive the Destructive Class Magician title. It was also when he began to run missions with teams that had a free slot available, since 14 was close enough to 15.
Finally made the break through required to attain Destructive Class Magician at 15 and subsequently bumped up to Year 5. Continued to run missions with whatever teams had a free spot, but he was always a temporary member.
Now this year with his Warlock Class in Naturalis as well, Runik's been classified as a Year 6.

To those that pay any attention to the outcome of missions, or any matches/duels that occasionally occur, Runik's probably at least known to them.

"Place Holder For Actual Picture"
Meruin is short, standing at 4'10'' in height, with short black hair that curls inwardly at the tips. She's very slim-looking and doesn't weigh very much. Her eyes are a grey-green color, and naturally droops at the sides, giving her a fittingly sleepy look. Her skin is very pale and white.
". . . yawn~"

Meruin Hazy


Nicknames/Titles: 
"That Weird Nudist Girl?" "Miss Sleeps A Lot" "Who?"

Age: 
14

Gender: 
Female

Race: 
Human

Sexuality: 
Magicsexual? No? Never mind then. Asexual it is.

Year:  
5

Temporarily the Familiar(?) of Iravis . . . well this is weird xD
Ranking Class:
Enchantress Class - Presitgae
	Sorceress Class - Alchemia
	Witch Class - Pythones

Magic:
Presitgae: Hazy Moon
Meruin is primarily a follower Presitgae school of magic, and as such is most proficient in it use. Her main magic in this school is the aptly named Hazy Moon. Simply put, Meruin create's a field and within that field is a 'beacon'. The beacon, though lacking in substance, can take any form Meruin wishes it to take - in other words, it can look like a person, object, or animal - and can move anywhere inside the field. This beacon interacts with the mind to create 'phantom sensations', sensations that feel real, however only distantly, such as if it was something remembered from a long time ago or something experienced from a particularly vivid dream. The longer one interacts with the beacon, however, the more these phantom sensations become 'real', to the point that what it does and its effects on the body are irrelevant to the actual reality of the situation. 

	Presitgae: Theoretical Dysphoria/Euphoria
		Dysphoria/Euphoria is a magic that creates an illusion of 'feeling', by controlling the feeling of fatigue, joy, anger, disappointment and triumph. By manipulating these feelings, Meruin creates conditions of confidence (or overconfidence) or disappointment (or depression) and can also manipulate the feeling of 'effort' in an action.
 
	Presitgae: Light Queen's Cradle
		Light Queens Cradle is a field type magic that allows Meruin to twist a persons perception of light within that field, making objects disappear from vision, seem closer or farther, or larger than usual. 

	Alchimia: Basic - although quick and good quality - transmutations, usually used to supplement her illusions. Nothing special, asides from the fact that she can do transmutations from a distance. Part of her alchemy is the ability to sense the components and structure of objects - including living things - that give her an in-depth analysis on it, making her high-speed transmutations possible. She cannot transmute objects with souls unless their magic resistance is lowered to a point where they cannot prevent her magic from entering the body.

	Pythones: Elemental Spirit Summons
		A very basic use of the school of magic, however, Meruin is able to quickly cycle through her summons in order to facilitate faster effects. As with her Alchemy, Meruin mostly uses Necromancy to enhance her illusions.

Strengths:
There are two great strengths to Meruin's magic: subtly, and absoluteness. The effects or Meruin's spells generally do not have an overt, noticeable effect until the moment where something is off, but by that point the 'absoluteness' kicks in. It's effects cannot be counteracted even if one knows that it is an illusion. The best bet you have of defeating them by this point is outside help or flailing around until you hit Meruin.
		Specifics:
			Hazy Moon: it's greatest strength is the fact that the beacon can mimic the action of whatever form Meruin chooses it to take - including the action of casting a spell. Once the hold on its victims mind grows strong enough, the spells that it 'casts' will do the same damage - at least mentally - on its target as if an actual spell were cast.
			Dysphoria/Euphoria: Control is one of the greatest tools of a mage; without it, every spell is potentially fatal. Meruin, by subtly influencing the efforts it takes to cast spells, and the confidence of its caster, can completely eliminate the control of any spell caster caught in its influence. Meruin can also cast it on herself to boost her next spell despite the consequences.
			Light Queens Cradle: Manipulating light at any level is a powerful skill, especially to those dependent on it. It determines the distance of objects for us, keeps us conspicuous, and too much of it too quickly blinds or nauseates people - sometimes even knocking them  out. 

Weaknesses:
A major weakness almost all of Meruin's magic shares is their cumbersome cast time. It takes a long period to set up the field - and this has to be done by physically marking the place - and then getting the magic itself to activate. Moreover, plenty of her spells rely on a 'field' to work. Meaning that if one were outside the field, they will remain completely unaffected. 
	A second major weakness is the fact that all of Meruin's spells have a specific number of targets; in other words, from the moment the magic is casted, Meruin has chosen a number of targets and only that number can be affected. If an additional target is added, then that target is unaffected until Meruin can recast the spell to include the newcomer into the field of effect. 
		Specifics: 
			Hazy Moon: it's greatest weakness is the fact that it takes a long time to cast and more time to greatly affect its targets. Also, if Meruin cannot be outside of the field when Hazy Moon is cast - if she were to step out or was forced out, the beacon disappears and the spell breaks.
			Dysphoria/Euphoria: Though the effect are almost always as Meruin intend them to be, what those effects lead to are in question - sometimes, a little overconfidence is exactly what her target needs, or otherwise her target needed some caution to succeed in their next spell. 
			Light Queens Cradle: Meruin is also subject to the illusions and visual errors her light manipulation creates. 

Catalyst:A silver ring on her right finger, and a golden ring on her left. Also, there are runes inscribed across the length of her back, shoulders, and down to her ankles.

Inventory:Potions (usually for doping her concentration for spells), Books, notebooks, recording devices (magical or mundane), a staff (her extra catalyst) 

Familiar: N/A

Squad Name:"If I had one, I would name it the *unintelligible language* Hunters"

Are They The Leader Of The Squad?:"I am the leader of my own squad of one. Does that count?"Pesonality:
Meruin does not get 'social ques' or social interaction in general. She is introverted, taciturn, blunt and observant. Meruin feels very little in the way of shame, and unless given a logical reason, will generally not think on halting her course of action despite the social violations it causes. Meruin is rather drowsy for the most part, usually not bothering to exert energy into things she thinks is not worth the effort, moreover, Meruin is usually only interested in anything regarding magic, being practically addicted to studying. Meruin, despite her silent exterior, is insanely driven towards her goal of becoming 'special' and will use any method, no matter how dangerous or painful to achieve that goal. 

Backstory:
Meruin's family, much to her surprise, came from a long family of mages. Once, they were quickly on the fast track to becoming a powerful and renowned family in the world of magic, however, the birth of a certain man in the family quickly crushed that rise. Among the family, he was black-sheep, unable to cast even the most basic of magics. Rather than give up quietly or try some other method, the man decided to start a revolution within the family - that is to say, he managed to somehow convince half of the family that magic was unnecessary to them and a simple detriment to finding a happy life, and that it should be forgotten entirely if they wanted to be truly happy. 
	His radical notions started a civil war within Meruin's family, causing its most gifted and magically capable members to die out rapidly. By the time the conflict was over, the remaining members were either inept or disinterested with magic. Such as Meruin's father. He grew up mediocre and encouraged his kids to be the same, telling them that being great was just simply cause for conflict. 
	And Meruin hated the man that she called father to her core. 
	Meruin hated her father more than anyone in her entire life - he was the first and only person she could actually say she hated - and cursed him and her mother and siblings for buying into his ideology of leading a mediocre life. Meruin felt that if she really tried, she could become great - no, not just great, but singular. A special existence. 
	And that was when she discovered she was magic. 
	Her father was aghast of course, but Meruin was ecstatic. More than just being magic, it seemed Meruin was a throwback to when the family still had mages with prodigious magic reserves. Despite her fathers efforts to stamp out her magic, to dissuade her from practicing it, Meruin still managed to contact her uncle - the only one she knew was still an active mage, even if he wasn't very skilled. The uncle managed to secure her a place in Liseranna Academy via a contact of his, and Meruin said goodbye to her family on board a boat to the Academy's island.
	She has not looked back since.

Reina Izumi

"I'm hungry..."

Nicknames/Titles:
None yet

Age:
15

Gender:
Female

Height and Weight
157cm 5.15ft
43kg 95lbs

Race:
Human

Sexuality:
B-b-boys

Year:
3

Ranking Class:
Sorceress Class

Magic:
Neutra Living Portal

Reina is the wielder of a very special ability. From the very first moment she was born it was already known that she essentially is a one way portal to the spirit realm as far as they knew. Reina is able to suck up spirits, phantoms and everything else that doesn't belong in the human world. When she activates her ability a tornado appears from her mouth and will try to suck up everything close by. Items from earth will take 4 times longer to suck up the items that don't belong in the human realm. Mana will also be sucked up and stored in her own mana pool.

Strengths:
Powerful as support, Won't ever leave her out of mana.

Weaknesses:
Highly immobile when she activates her ability. She isn't combat capable so she mostly sits on the sidelines waiting till it's her chance.

Catalyst:
Doesn't use any

Inventory:
She only has keys on her

Familiar:
None yet

Squad Name:
None yet

Personality:
Reina a calm and kind girl, but she thinks it's embarrassing for her when other see her using her ability. At times she can be shy and reserved. However, she have good manners and treats everyone with respect, which is seen when she usually speaks in honorifics (san, kun, sama) etc. She also likes to eat and does eat a lot for her size, saying that her dream is going to an all-eat buffé.

Backstory:
Reina grew up in a rich family and was treated well even when they knew she had such a power within her. She was treated like no other member of the noble family, with respect and kindness. She learned to be polite and good mannered by her parents and her home teacher. Reina quite easily learned to handle her own powers and could hold herself back almost all the time. She wasn't allowed to use it anywhere for her own benefits for the sake of the ones around her. 

Reina was introduced more to the outside world when she was older and she could handle it all fairly well. She knew that her powers weren't suppose to be known to the outside world and if it were the case it could be used in terrible ways by the government. The only thing that wouldn't withstand her from showing it to the world was her appetite. She could never go eat outside of her house or get any treats from the super markets. The only place she was allowed to eat was at home. If she were to ever get into a supermarket on her own it would mean the end of the world. That was when it happened, her dream was set. She had never heard of anything like it before but she fell in love with it. An all you can eat buffet. Her parents however hardly declined it. She would never set foot in a place like that or the restaurant would go broke.

Reina was soon invited to Liseranna Academy and her parents approved of it so she could grow as a person and learn more about her ability.

"Strength comes in many different forms. You just have to find your own."

Name: Jocelyn Blackwell

Nicknames/Titles: Lady Jocelyn, Jo

Age: 13

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Year: 1

Ranking Class: Enchantress

Magic: Pythones: Water Bearer

Jo's magic isn't anything too spectacular. She is able to conjure up bird spirits made out of water and use them offensively. They appear to be regular kingfisher birds, although, being made of water gives them a vaguely transparent look. These birds act on Jo's commands, usually by voice.

Strengths:

As said before, these birds are always used as an offensive tactic. Once Jo tells them to attack the enemy, the birds fly at great speeds and peck at the opponent. Sometimes, the birds will fly into the enemy's face and explode, splashing them with water as a distraction.

Weaknesses:

This magic has a large amount of flaws, although not completely useless. Firstly, these kingfishers are very fragile, and, depending on the user's amount of mana, can be dispersed with a single physical attack. However, they are able to slightly make up for this due to their speed.

Secondly, using them as a defensive barrier is literally impossible. These birds are only able to be used as a way of physical attack and physical attack only.

Catalyst: A thin silver chain bracelet with a blue stone carved into a bird on it.

Inventory: ---

Familiar: (displayed below)

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality:

Despite her young age, Jocelyn is a mature and sensible young girl. Of course, coming from a wealthy background, Jo is very polite towards everyone, especially those above her. She's also quite reserved, unless she is really pushed to the limits and ends up breaking down instead.

The girl may come off as a bit cold and distant at first, but in reality, Jo's just a quiet person. It's not that she doesn't mind interacting with others (in fact, she doesn't mind at all), she often only speaks when spoken to. Her much more mature outlook on life might also be a reason as to why people (mainly those roughly the same age as her) describe her as 'cold'. However, her sensible demeanour doesn't mean she can't have a bit of fun once in a while.

Once you get to know little Jo, you're in for a very stable friendship. She cares a lot for her friends and even more for her family and familiars, and, despite knowing that she's not the strongest of mages, she is still willing to jump in and fight for the people she loves. 

Backstory:

A classified noblewoman such as Jocelyn had a calm and peaceful childhood. She would read books, play in the large gardens, practise her magic, the usual kiddy mage stuff. 

Although she was the daughter of a wealthy English family, her personality didn't seem to support that (unless you're thinking of your clichéd rich snob, then yes). She acted sensible and polite towards everyone regardless of their social status, and tried to not be so ignorant all the time. She was a lovely and mature girl, despite her rather young age.

As a Blackwell, Jocelyn was to be contracted with the family's various familiars at a young age. The only real reason why the Blackwell family gained that little bit of recognition was because of their fighting style; summoning many familiars to make up for their lack of offensive capabilities. By the time she had turned eight, Jo had made contracts with eight different familiars, each of them with unique fighting abilities of their own.

After that, life went on as per usual. Following the family tradition, Jocelyn was to be enrolled at the prestigious Liseranna Academy to discover and unlock her true potential as a Blackwell mage.

The Blackwell Familiars; a group of ageless female mages bound by contracts of various Blackwell family members. 

Before these contracts had been made, these women sought more than just magic. They sought immortality, wanting to live on forever as an invincible group of mages. Their bodies would never decay, nor age, and no matter how fatal the blow to the body they would reform in an instant. It was something that was searched for by many; although these female mages managed to find the source of it first.

It wasn't what the women expected, though. Even if their bodies ceased to age, they were still very much human. After many attempts to try and prove their supposed immortality, lives were lost, and only eight members remained from the original fourteen. It was either they ended their never ageing lives now or  live on for eternity, never to live as a simple human being any longer. What did they decide to do you ask?

They decided to live on, of course.

It wasn't like they needed food or water to stay alive anymore. The eight women continued to wander the world, seeing many lives born and lost and society changing right before their eyes. It was a very lonely feeling, really. None of them could ever settle down in one place, let alone with an actual person.

When Christine Blackwell discovered these eight ageless mages however, they soon found a place to stay. A place where they could belong.

In return, Christine asked to form contracts with the eight of them. They would become her familiars and she would become their master. For over a hundred years these women have served under the Blackwells, assisting them and protecting them from the incoming enemies they would have to face. Now they find themselves under the control of Jocelyn Blackwell, a soon-to-be student at Liseranna Academy. What sort of adventures and mishaps will these women have with this girl you ask?

Only time will surely tell.

"Splendid!"

Name: Sabrina

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 27 years old)

Gender: Female

Race: Humans

Sexuality: Swimming in heterosexual waters

Year: ---

Magic: Contritio: Raging Rivers

In short, this magic is simply water manipulation; Sabrina is able to create and control water at will. She is able to make powerful shields out of water and even use it to create giant waves of water to wash away opponents. Her powerful attacks and control over her mana makes Sabrina one of Jo's strongest familiars.

Strengths: This type of magic works best at longer distances and works very well as a means of defense. As said before, Sabrina great control over this magic allows her to create large tides that can be powerful enough to wash away opponents, hence the name 'Raging Rivers'.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Sabrina requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Personality:

Sabrina is a very flamboyant and dramatic person, often speaking in grand gestures and words. Her over-the-top and extremely over-reactive nature can get a bit silly sometimes, but that doesn't mean she can't put on a serious attitude when it's needed. Even though she's naturally friendly and extroverted to the point where it might make someone feel a bit uncomfortable, she's one of the more serious familiars contracted with the Blackwells. She's also seen to be very protective over her Jocelyn, and is always depicted as kind and loving towards her friends. (Might be more in the IC)

Backstory:

Even though their history wasn't extremely eventful, Jocelyn and Sabrina are very close. As one of the 'older' familiars she feels that it is her duty to protect the young lady. Although Jocelyn has stated to feel a bit uncomfortable in the presence of Sabrina, she can't help but ride along with the fun air the woman gives off. Due to her personality, Jo found herself winding up in many embarrassing conversations and situations in Sabrina's presence, but the two do share a very close bond. But, even if she did have her silly moments, her over protective and motherly nature is very present. Sabrina has sworn to protect Jocelyn at all costs, even if she has to give up the life she had been living for so long to do so. Out of all the other familiars, Jo seems to be the closest to Sabrina.

"…er, sorry, you were saying?"

Name: Priscilla

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 23 years old)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Year: ---

Magic: Praestigiae: True Mind

Simply put, Priscilla is able to cast illusions when someone makes eye contact with her certain hand gestures. Her illusions can range from simple illusions intended to confuse the target to dark and frightening illusions to terrify the enemy.

Strengths: Although she rarely casts 'dark' illusions on the opponent, this type is the most useful; Priscilla draws on the enemy's fears and casts an illusion associated with them. The scare factor of these illusions highly depend on how realistic they are.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Priscilla requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all.

Her illusion casting also has a few weaknesses. If she is physically hurt when the illusion is still ongoing, the illusion will be dispelled and stop. Also, less real illusions can be easily seen through, so Priscilla really has to use her smarts to cast a successful illusion.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Priscilla always seems to be very calm and relaxed, usually seen with her hands at the back of her neck. She doesn't find it too hard to make friends with people, even attempting to be a bit friendly towards her enemies (which never really works out well). Priscilla can be viewed as a bit lazy sometimes, but her extremely carefree attitude is the core reason for this. She may have her serious moments, but that doesn't stop Priscilla from being as cheerful as she can.

Backstory: As a member of the wealthy Blackwell house, Priscilla had already been destined to form a contract with the soon-to-be-born mage. As soon as Jo had come of age and the contract was made, she grew a very quick and close attachment to the little girl, often acting as a her watchful older sister. Jo quickly took a liking to the woman's relaxed nature and would often search for Hannah to escape the flamboyant nature of Sabrina and the terrifying wrath of Hannah. Priscilla's personality was almost like a breath of fresh air for Jocelyn, as most of the Blackwell familiars were quite… colourful. Their many interactions built up into a close friendship, and they're always looking out for each other.

"How about no?"

Name: Hannah

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 25 years old)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Bisexual

Year: ---

Magic: Contritio: Buzzing Thunder

In short, this magic is simply electricity manipulation; Hannah is able to create and control electricity at will. She is able to send small beams of electricity towards her opponents and can even focus her mana into one point to create a large ball of electricity. Out of all of Jo's familiars, Hannah has the best control over her mana.

Strengths: This type of magic works best at close distances and works very well as a means of attack. Hannah's speed and electrifying attacks make for a frightening combination, making her one of the stronger familiars contracted with Jocelyn.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Hannah requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Moody. The perfect word to describe Hannah. She's often seen with a scowl on her face, especially after being summoned by her master, Jocelyn. She shows very little respect for the girl, only ever being polite to those 'capable of being her master' and those (mages and familiars alike) significantly more powerful than her. Her high expectations in almost everything make her a very difficult person to impress and the arrogant nature she shows on occasion is one of the reasons why. Hannah claims that the only reason she follows Jocelyn's orders is because she has already sworn her loyalty to the Blackwell household.

Deep down however, Hannah cares a great deal for Jocelyn; she just struggles to express her feelings towards her properly. She feels responsible for the girl and only acts harsh because she just wants Jocelyn to learn and grow from her mistakes. She believes she won't be able to grow if the other familiars are acting all nice and chummy with her, so she decides to act overly harsh instead. It may not be the best teaching method, but Sabrina thinks it to be so.

Backstory:

Hannah being Hannah was always a difficult one to impress. She saw Jocelyn as nothing more than a troublesome little kid, stating that she wouldn't follow the orders of an 'inexperienced little brat'. Even if Jo seemed to be a bit more mature than most girls her age, Hannah refused to see the blooming maturity in her. Years passed and Hannah's rudeness still remained.

The thing is, Hannah knew something a majority of the familiars did not.

Jocelyn was still a kid.

Yes, she was sensible. Yes, she had a bit of maturity in her. But the thing that bothered her the most was that Jocelyn was still a kid. She still had much to learn, and even if Octavia would drown her with life advice the rest still loathed the young girl with kindness and respect. It wasn't like all people were going to act like that towards Jo, and if Hannah didn't give her a taste of what people were really like in the real world then her master would slowly grow to become naïve and irresponsible.

No matter how harsh Hannah may seem, there's still that space in her heart that cares a great deal for the young lady Jocelyn.

"Even scars can heal, you know."

Name:

Nicknames/Titles:

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 30 years of age)

Gender: Female 

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Year: ---

Magic: Medela: Recital

To use this healing magic, Octavia utters different healing spells to cure different wounds. For example, there are different spells for curing a simple graze and a broken arm.

Strengths: Octavia's vast amounts of medical knowledge gives her an upper hand even without her magic. Her healing magic does come in useful though, as she remembers many healing spells for different wounds.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Octavia requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all. Also, Octavia is limited from being able to heal lost limbs and terminal diseases, and the more fatal the wound the longer it takes to heal, as the spell is much longer in contrast to a spell made to heal simpler wounds. 

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Graceful and wise, Octavia acts as a second mother towards Jocelyn and a big sister figure towards the other familiars. She's an extremely caring individual and is always there to aid someone in need. She's respectful and polite to everyone around her and always shows a kind face to anyone she meets. Reserved and calm, Octavia is seen as the 'peacemaker' out of the Blackwell familiars.

Backstory: Being the wise woman she is, Octavia was one of the familiars that formed a motherly relationship with Jocelyn. Her teachings and words of wisdom were things the young lady would carefully listen to, building Jocelyn into a much more mature girl. Like Sabrina, Jocelyn views Octavia to be an older sister or mother figure.

"Fighting isn't really my thing... But, if it's to protect the young lady then I will make sure your defeat is a quick one."

Name: Patricia

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 20 years of age)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Pansexual

Year: ---

Magic: Contritio: Multiplyer

This magic enhances Patricia's speed to the point where she is almost invisible (depending on how much mana she uses). By using this she simply hits/pecks at her opponent to deal seemingly simultaneous attacks.

Strengths: Possessing great speed in combat is a huge advantage. She uses small and consistent attacks to wear down her opponent and deal damage to them. 

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Patricia requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all. Also, even though she's extremely fast, she isn't necessarily a combat specialist. Her speed is the only thing preventing her from being weak in physical combat.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Patricia is a very shy and quiet individual, and usually tries to avoid arguments as best as she can. Despite being extremely introverted, Patricia is a very kind person, always looking out for others. She can be a bit clumsy and sentimental sometimes, but her fighting spirit is like no other. Patricia is willing to give up her life for her master, no matter how much suffering she has to go through to do so.

Backstory:

Patricia's shy exterior made it hard for her and the young Jocelyn to form a friendly bond, even if they were acquainted with each other. However, over the years the two managed to form a solid master-familiar relationship, and Patricia learnt to open up to Jocelyn a bit more. The two are on good terms, and it's clear that Patricia has an undying loyalty  towards Jocelyn.

"I've never heard a voice like yours before."

Name: Lucia

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 19 years of age)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Year: ---

Magic: Neutra: Mimicker

This magic is relatively simple to understand; Lucia is able to mimic certain sounds and voices to confuse other people. Even though some people may find it to be a weak magic, Lucia is able to alter the volume of the sound she produces. For example, if she were to mimic the sound of a police siren, she is able to alter the volume and make it ten times louder than it originally was.

Strengths: Since this magic has many uses, it is actually quite useful and strong. Lucia is able to reuse sounds she has used before, which gives her a wide range to choose from. Also, as said above, Lucia is able to alter the volume of sounds, which can have devastating effects on the body.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Lucia requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all. Her magic also has a weakness; it is only able to affect those within a certain difference (her limit being 100 metres). Anyone beyond the 100 metre limit will not hear or be affected by Lucia's sounds.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Lucia is quite the cheeky woman. Fun loving and full of life, Lucia doesn't mind pulling off small pranks and tricks every once in a while. The woman can be very mischievous and cunning, which a majority of the familiars have difficulties coping with. Although she can be quite childish and slightly idiotic sometimes, Lucia is loyal and protective. She shares very close bonds with the other familiars (even if some tend to be a bit more 'distant' *cough* *cough* Hannah *cough*) and is the one who seems to keep the group sticking together.

Backstory:

Similar to Patricia's situation, Lucia was a bit difficult to bond with. The woman's childish and mischievous ways were difficult to handle even for the young Jocelyn, which made the little girl often complain to her mother or Octavia. It was simply a lesson of acceptance, though; even though Lucia's personality could be a little problematic at times, it was best of Jo tried to accept Lucia as she was rather than complaining about her all the time. It wasn't before long when the two started to hang out with each other and form a closer, playful and loyal friendship.

"A worthy opponent deserves a worthy fight!"

Name: Ebony

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 21 years old)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Year: ---

Magic: Contritio: Iron Edge

Ebony is able to enhance her strength and increase the impact power of her attacks. When a certain amount of mana is used, Ebony is even capable of breaking through thick stone walls. Her enhanced strength also allows her to lift things many times her own weight.

Strengths: Ebony's magic is actually very useful. She can break through weak magic barriers to some extent and can even muster up enough force to destroy the ground beneath her (if enough mana is supplied, of course.)

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Ebony requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Ebony is an extremely hot blooded and short tempered person, and often speaks at a very fast pace. She's described to be overenthusiastic and reckless by many, but Ebony just enjoys the thrill of battle way too much. In a way, Ebony is similar to Lucia, both of them sharing similar childish attributes. However, while Lucia is capable of acting serious in certain situations, Ebony just never seems to be able to… calm down.

Backstory: Being the loud person she was, Jocelyn felt a bit uncomfortable around Ebony. It wasn't that she necessarily hated her; Jocelyn just found her explosive nature a bit unsettling and difficult to handle. Of course, the two were and still are on friendly terms, but Jocelyn just isn't as close with Ebony as she is with the her other familiars. Being a loyal member of the Blackwell household, Ebony cares a lot for Jocelyn, despite her rather fiery attitude.

"…I'd rather not. Sorry."

Name: Carol

Nicknames/Titles: ---

Age: A few hundred years or so (appears to be around 26 years of age)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sexuality: Asexual

Year: ---

Magic: Contritio: Blight

Although this magic isn't all that spectacular, it can be quite deadly; Contritio: Blight allows Carol to create black feathers and uses therm as projectiles. Carol can also infuse her feathers with a black liquid that can deplete a mage's mana, hence the name 'Blight'.

Strengths: When these feather projectiles aren't 'poisoned', Carol is able to use them for long distance attacks. These feathers are also rather sharp and are able to to draw blood. Her ability to drain one's mana also comes in useful when her master is fighting someone with a significantly larger mana pool.

Weaknesses: Like the other familiars contracted with the Blackwells, Carol requires a certain amount of mana to be transferred into her by the master to be able to cast her magic. If not supplied with enough then she won't be able to use her abilities at all. Also, her feathers are only able to pierce through human flesh, so anything stronger will be able to deflect these feathers.

Catalyst: ---

Inventory: ---

Master: Jocelyn Blackwell

Squad Name: ---

Pesonality: Cold. Silent. There really isn't that much to Carol. She tends to stay away from others most of the time, and interacting with her doesn't come very easily. Despite knowing her for hundreds of years, not even the all-knowing Octavia is able to see what this woman is thinking. Rarely ever showing any emotion, Carol gives off a mysterious, almost frightening aura wherever she walks. (Maybe more in the IC)

Backstory: Like Ebony, Jocelyn isn't too close with Carol. Ever since Jo had made a contract with her, she had always felt that there was something off about Carol. No matter how many times she tried to shake this slightly unsettling feeling off, it always seemed to linger in the back of her head and pop out whenever Carol was summoned. The two don't necessarily hate each other, though. They're just not that close is all.
