Name: Farris Aran
Title: Herald of the Thunderous Warcry
Age: Old
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Angels of Heaven
Race: Ascended Human
Height: 167 cm
Weight: 56 kg

Bio: Farris is a no nonsense type of person with a strong sense of duty. Before becoming what she's today, Farris was known for being a loyal servant of the very own ruler of the heavens, the Divine Imperator Deva.

As a reward for her services to the heavenly ruler, Farris was granted the chance of living in a paradise where she would be able to enjoy peace for the rest of eternity. However, Farris' forfeit such an offer. Until the day the Imperator can enjoy the same peace she brings all of her subjects, Farris will keep on fighting.

Powers: Farris abilities are as impressive as her title suggests. She can create and control crystals, earth, as well as other forms of minerals and metals. With this power she can produce a variety of magical constructs to do her biding.

Nevertheless, it's the Warcry which she's known for that's Farris greatest power. A commanding shout that splits the Heavens and sunders the Earth, Farris' Warcry isn't only a destructive force to be reckoned with, but also a rallying call for those who fight for the same cause as she.

Aside from the sheer destructive force that will blast anyone enemy near Farris, very much likely hurting and disorienting them with it's power, any ally who listen to Farris' Warcry, including herself, will have their morale and defenses boosted (liberating them from any detrimental mental effects) as well as their wounds healed.

Using this power is a taxing effort. However, Farris is known for making strategic uses of it, sometimes even turning the tide of battle completely.

In addition, Farris also has the typical abilities of most celestial beings such as superhuman strenght, agility, thoughness and reflexes, immunity to the weaknesses of the flesh such as hunger, tryst, and diseases, resistance to demonic corruption and profane powers as well as the ability to summon and dismiss wings of light to fly.

Weapons: Farris' armaments are all holy relics, carried on from the time when she was mortal and blessed by the Imperator's divine power. Her armor and shield are made of a rare meteor-steel alloy capable of withstanding great punishment without bending, breaking, or chipping. Her weapons are made of the same holy crystals she can summon and control, being not only durable and deadly but also able to channel, store and divert pretty much all forms of energy.

Name: Victoire Bordeaux
Title: Bloody Countess
Age: Old
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Demons of Hell
Race: Half-Vampire Succubus
Height: 143 cm
Weight: 34 kg

Bio: To most, Victoire may appear to be cold and uncaring as well as an egotistical and cruel sadist, to the point of being hard to not label her as textbook a sociopath. While this stands true nine tenths of the time, Victoire is also capable of some rare moments of mercifulness, mostly when the act pleases her somehow there by, she is most certainly not being selfless in anything that she does.

Her origins, like many other of the Nexus' inhabitants, are hard to trace. It's known that she wasn't born there but, instead she came answering the summons of the self-aware plane and coming to inhabit a massive estate close to the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm where a blood red moon decorates the perpetual night sky forever.

Once upon a time, the Countess took notice of an Angelic congregation built for humans and lesser demons who had being converted by the heavenly pests, being built on the outskirts of her domains close to a village that she had tolerated for far longer than she really should, mainly for the constant source of food it presented, and took action to wipe such an unsightly wart off of her doorstep.

After dispatching all of the vermin polluting her sight, with extreme prejudice, Victoire found herself attracted to a low grumble as well as the sounds of struggle coming from behind the altar. There she found a werewolf, bound by chains of gleaming silver to the idol. Just as Victoire stared blankly at the eyes of the enraged beast, set for sacrifice, the horns of the heavenly reinforcement sent to get rid of her rang loud. Lifting her right hand to meet the werewolf's face, filling his vision with her rose-shaped ring, Victoire said words that she thought she would never use:

— "I'll give you a choice. Pledge your loyalty to me and live or, die and be forgotten..."

The beast's answer goes without saying as he did his one final effort to bite the chains holding him, to the point of drawing blood just to kiss his savior's ring, sealing the pact. As a proof of his pledge, a mark shaped like a choker of rose vines on his throat, marking the beast forever as Victoire's servant.

And the rest, as is said, is history...

Powers: Owing to her origins as well as her practice of other forms of magic to improve herself, Victoire has an impressive array of powers. Some of the most used/iconic are described bellow, but this is by no means all of Victoire's repertoire. Usually she can draw at least one spell per battle that she has never used before as long as it is kept within her thematic.

— Vampire Powers: Undying and unaging, undead immunities, blood sense, dark vision, improved senses, minor shapeshifting, hypnotic gaze, control over her domain, primordial heritage (resistance to all common vampire weaknesses, except holy powers), blood healing.

— Succubus Powers: Moderate shapeshifting, lust sense, mind reading, dream walking, telepathy, illusionism, emotion control.

— Rose Magic: Summon Demon Roses, crushing vines and roots, razor petals, create rose thralls, parasitic roses, corrosive perfume, hallucinogenic perfume, aphrodisiac perfume, blooming teleportation (can teleport to anywhere inside one of her rose fields as long she's touching it on both ends of her travel).

— Blood Magic: Blood control, blood destruction, corrosive blood, hemokinesis, blood form, summon monsters (in conjunction with Shadow Magic), blood portals (Can open two ended portals adjacent to living beings, special types of undead or back to her domains. One of the ends must always be adjacent to Victoire. Only viable targets can cross the portals, including Victoire).

— Shadow Magic: Summon shadows, summon monsters (along with Blood Magic), induce fear/panic, attacking shadows, create shadow blades, shadow jaunt (turns into a swarm of incorporeal shadow bats that can move to anywhere with shadows large enough to cover at least half of Victoire's body. This power can't be used to travel between areas isolated from one another by daylight or bright light sources. While in shadow swarm form, these sources of light hurt Victoire, causing her great pain and forcibly ending the spell).

In addition, even thought Victoire isn't fond of stain her hands, she sholdn't be underestimated even with her bare hands. If that doesn't work, she has one final trick in the form of her ability to summon her strongest familiar, the werewolf which she bound into a pledge of loyalty a long time ago, the only one allowed to have the title of Victoire's Knight.

Weapons: Victoire wields a set of finely crafted silver spiked chains. The chains don't merely look like, but in fact, it have a life of their own, they can change shape and length at-will, defending Victoire without the need for her to command them. Furthermore, their appearance is unrelated to their strentgh as the chains are able to hold mighty targets and damage even some of the Machina most powerful war machines. Victoire seems to derive some sort of twisted pleasure from their use, mainly because of their nature as a sadistic weapon.

Equipment: Ring of Roses: A special signet ring owned by Victoire, it does amplify all of her powers, but it's true usage is to force anyone that kisses it, willingly or not, into complete obedience to Victorie. The ring's curse actually doesn't rob the will of its targets but, instead places a mark on their body and soul, dare they defy the terms established by Victorie upon their pledge, the mark turns into a wreath of rose vines, killing them slowly and in a very painful way.

The rate of growth of the vines is directly proportional to the breach in the pledge and only a command from Victoire can cause the vines to recede or lift the curse altogether. Depending on the terms of the pledge, it can even last past a recipient's death and possible resurrection, making Victoire's ring a truly dreadful instrument since it can potentially trap a target that defied her to a great extent in an eternity of endless agony that even the relief of death cannot undo.

Name: Suparna Wolgan

Title: Queen of Carrion. Infested Lady.

Age: Indeterminate.

Gender: Female Host.

Race: Maggot.

Allegiance: Demons of Hell.

Personality: Suparna was born of wickedness and subsists upon it daily, literally unable to live without cruelly devouring others to feed the Whole. She has yet to find another who can know the depths with which she began and thus how far she has truly come, except perhaps the Machina though she holds no love for them. It is Suparna's most ardent desire to prove her greatness to the world until they are the maggots who can gaze upon her with envy and fear, trembling at the insignifigance of their lives.

This leads her to having immense loathing for the Angels, whose own self importance clashes with Suparna's ego. There hasn't been an Machina she's liked the taste off, though watching them flounder as their bodies are destroyed from the inside out is amusing for her. She is actually very amicable if she believes she's respected by someone. While it may seem that she is brash in her treatment of Chirada, it is born of the strictest confidense in her other half's ability to prove victorius.

History: Where there is meat, there will be maggots. Where there are demons, there will certainly be a warping of the body and soul, even in the lowliest of creatures. 99% of the time this is negligible, but in one instance an insigigant creature feasting upon a demonic carcass came to find itself changed, as though the metaphorical "I Am" rang through it's head to signify the birth of consciousness. A sense of self in the lowly worm, the birth of an individual in a hive. It was astonishing, or would have been if a maggot was worth anything of note. With the advent of thought came the awareness of the surroundings beyond the search for sustenance, seemingly infinetly grand and ripe for the carrion, yet also frighteningly uncaring to its newborn desires.

Solitary and isolated from the creatures it called kin, that which thought "I Am" could not stand to face the world and be shown for all its insignifigance. It cast aside reason and thought beyond instinct, living and dying accord to the natural order as all things do. Yet the mutation did not die with the individual, the offspring carrying the torch.

One became several. Several became many. Many became legion.

The legion remembered the words, the thoughts that made them look beyond their lives to percieve the reality around them, and now knew they were no longer insignifigant. It was then that legion became whole within the husk of a fallen demon, they became what would be called Suparna.

Born of carrion, the taste for meat never departed even as she grew in refinement of thought. The earliest sighting of Suparna was with the lolita shell devouring a fallen arch demon, the legion comprising the whole leaking out of her sleeves to eat, reproduce, and repeat. It wouldn't be until reports of her devouring live meat en masse that she would officially join the Demon's ranks, the legion beneath the skin proving a horrific foe to face regardless of alignment.

It came to a point in their service that Suparna was too great to contain within a single shell, so a second was needed. A grand monument to their existence, the testiment that they had risen from nothing with ease and could drag down anything they so wished. An eight winged angel descended to the field of battle and thought itself better than all before it.

Suparna proved it wrong, devouring wing, bone, and meat till their was a husk ripe for their numbers to infest. Unlike Suparna, the former angel dubbed Chirada tooled entirely for the art of war and procurement of more meat to sate the hunger of the whole. Suparna and Chirada, two halves of the same whole, looking ever outwards till the day the world is the one that must look up at them.

Powers:

Infesation: The carrion that were once maggots have developed into thinner, longer creatures more adept at moving and devouring what is before them. Suparna and Chirada can expel them from their pours, open wounds, or orifices with great force. The carrion legion will enter the bodies of Suparna / Chirada's target, with the easiest point of egress being the same ways they were expelled. If given sufficient numbers they can easily eat through skin and armored plating to reach the innards within. The pain of a slow death by consumption is enough to paralyze most organic targets, and Machina will be rapidly crippled as their internal proccessors and mechanics are destroyed.

Control: Once Infested, the victim can be controlled by the legion within them in a similar manner to how Chirada is, though Suparna won't bother maintaining control longer than the Infested body is useful and has the legion devour the host before returning to the Whole. This is also an excellent means of capture if the target lacks any internal means of combating the invading the carrion.

Division: If Suparna or Chirada are cut, dismembered, shot, or stabbed, their bodies will reform around the wound unless the Whole decides otherwise. For all intents and purposes their bodies are elastic, pulling themselves back together from most anything physical.

Union of Conscious and Form: Yet to unseen, but Suparna can enter the Chirada to reunite the Whole, forming a being stronger than they are seperate, but exactly how this is will remain unknown till Union of Conscious and Form is achieved.



Weapons:

Chirada: The only true weapon fighting for Suparna, Chirada is capable of Infesting the air and ground with ease. Inbetween every feather are carrion ready to be scattered with a beat of it's wings. Chirada is capable of splitting itself down the middle to expose it's innards and a cage of bone that it snaps closed around unsuspecting prey. This often leads to near instant consumption from all directions, but this is also how Suparna would take live prisoners to lord her status over when the fancy strikes her. The wing's themselves are weapons, capable of bludgeoning steel and rending flesh from the force behind each beat.

Name: Aqua Regia.

Title: Shatter. Arctic Sorceress. Skyfall

Age: 9 Years.

Gender: Female.

Race: Machina

Allegiance: Machina Of Man.

Personality: Among the Machina, the level of personality and emotion in each Machina is typically dependent upon rank. Being a custom model, Regia is allowed a fair degree of latitude, but just like her 'Element' she can be rather subdued in her mannerisms. She is proud in her position as a leader on the field, and while she may have a near human level of self preservation, Regia is a strong proponent of the "Leading From the Front" doctrine of leadership. She instills terror into the enemy with grand displays of decimation, and is pleased to do so whenever the opportunity presents itself.

History:
There is a lesser known theory among certain circles of mankind that magic could be defined as something that could replicated by technology given infinite resources and time. An act of flight would have been considered magic by a lesser developed being who was bound to the ground, so after discovering the Magic used by their foes in the Nexus, development was underway to emulate and create the Machina's own 'magic'.

An experimental unit designed to imbue the characteristics of an archetypical 'Frost Mage' in a Machina body, Aqua Regia was created to unleash the power lorded over by Sorcerers and Demons with a Machina twist. Dubbed the Elementals, Aqua Regia -The Unit prefers Regia- was one of many who each had their own specialization around their construction. They require immense resources to create even for the Machina's prodigious infrastructure, but are capable of emulating the mass destruction unleashed by the Angels. Regia utilizes Liquid Nitrogen and is authorized to function as a Field Commander in conflict.

Powers:

Zone of Control: Machines function at optimal efficiency when properly cooled, and Regia is always in such a state. Releasing excess Liquid Nitrogen around her cools nearby Machina to improve performance while hampering organic beings. This provides them with unparalleled reaction times and efficiency of movement, while slowing the movement of organics regardless of faction unless insulated against it.

Flight: Internalized propulsion systems allow Regia to be capable of flight independent of the necessity for wings or external combustion.

Weapons:

Multi-Purpose Rifle: Regia's primary ranged weapon is large caliber rifle easily operated one handed. It features two modes of fire that can be switched with an internalized command. The first mode is a liquid nitrogen thrower, spraying the compound in an expanding cone to freeze targets, mist, or target a large area. The alternative mode fires rivets of ice with an explosive payload to pierce, freeze, and shatter targets.

Sub-Zero: A sword of ice with a jagged edge meant primarily for piercing a target via a strong thrust. It injects the liquid nitrogen that comprises it through the edge and tip, freezing from inside out rather than from without. The blade itself is adjustable in length, able to extend to indeterminate lengths, but will lose durability the farther from the default length.

Glacial Injectors: Two tubes extending from the armor along the small of her back which are manipulated like any other limb. Each is tipped with an injector that can function like Sub-Zero, but only capable of piercing and ineffectually as a slashing implement. Can also be used to anchor Regia in place but attaching the injectors to an object.

Niffleheim: The four floating units along Regia's back, seemingly locked in their set position until used. Like the Multi-Purpose Rifle, it has two modes of operation. First being a wide area pulse that flash freezes any unprotected source of liquid into a solid mass of ice, turning lakes, spilt blood, or clouds into solid masses of ice. The Alternative mode is a cold laser which requires the four units to join together before Regia in order to fire at full power.

Equipment:

Sensor Array: The headdress and horn around Regia's head, which provides Regia a complete awareness of her surroundings through a broad compliment of sensors across many spectrums.

Theme: WIP

Name: Krieg
Title: Warboss Grafdakka Destroya, Mu-01
Age: Krieg himself is 50 years old, however his alter ego as Grafdakka is only thirty. Mu-01 is also thirty.
Gender: Physically genderless, but identifies as male.
Race: Currently the Machine Faction. Krieg has no real loyalty to the Machine Faction however, merely fighting for them because they've earned that right.

Personality: To put it simply, Krieg is built for war. Starting from his humble beginnings as a radar AI, Kreig has managed to become a more active part of the war effort and relishes in it. He enjoys killing, whether it's against the mightiest angels and demons, or turning his own weapons against the peasantry for some tactical reason or another. He considers himself a tool, albeit one who takes pride in what he does. He hates being "Improvised" to fulfill some other duty beyond killing. He doesn't protect people, he doesn't make strongholds, he kills things. He does like music, at least some types of music. Often he would go for the loudest and most rocking song he can find, though he also doesn't mind some more J-Pop or even classical songs. It really depends on what he wants at the time. Krieg also has a twisted sense of honor, though it's half honor and half pragmatism. He fights for the strongest side: whoever manages to "Defeat" him has earned the right to his life, be it killing him on the spot or turning him against his allies. Doesn't matter to Krieg; all he wants is to keep killing.

History: Krieg was the name given to him when he was created as an AI for a radar system. His initial purpose, at that time, was to detect the movements of demonic energies in a local area around him. Most AI's were limited to their function, and Krieg was no different. But one day Krieg and his operator were attacked by a swarm of demons; Krieg saw them first, but there were simply too many to run away from. The demons killed his operator, smashed up the radar, and Krieg thought he had died. But he had not.

Something about those demons made Krieg... Alive. A ghost in the machine. From the ruins of those battles, Krieg looked for a vessel. A body to make his own. There were plenty of corpses, but he didn't want a soft-skinned human or a corrupted demon spawn. No, he needed something stronger, tougher... Metal. Eventually he found an android, it's arms and legs ripped far, barely on the brink of death. For some reason the mechanical man was not functioning, but it didn't matter to Krieg. And Krieg didn't know how he did it. Still doesn't. But he took that cyborg's body for his own. He was able to possess the robot, and through it, Krieg began his rise into war.

Powers: Krieg's one unique power is the ability to possess machines, even ones that normally would be damaged beyond repair and functionally destroyed. That being said, there is some limitations: For starters, Krieg can only possess machines that is near his Core, which is the remaining Black Box from when he was once a Radar. Additionally, while he can possess damaged machines, he works best if they are restored to working order. Once he possess a machine, he is free to move about in his new body as he wishes, even leaving it if he has some reason to. However while possessing a new body, he will be completely unaware of what is happening to his Core. While he tends to monitor it somehow through his bodies, he is either in his new body or his core.

Weapons:

Currently Krieg has access to two combat bodies, his original Destroya Mech and his current Grind Gear.





Equipment: Aside from the Grafdakka armor, Krieg only has his Core, which currently residing in an unassuming robot maid. In this body she is known as Mu-01, based off the tracks that make up her lower body. She is Grafdakka's personal maid, though in truth it's just Krieg switching between bodies when needed. She can be slightly more restrained in violence in this form, but she's far from defenseless. Her feminine figure hides the fact that she could tear apart a man with her bare hands (Helps that she's actually a robot) and she has powerful short-range lasers hidden in the palms of her hand. Also she weighs close to a ton and will crush you underneath her treads if she wanted to.

Mu-01's Theme:

Name: Francisca Labrys Seax Luxuria
Title: Whore Princess of the Uterine Sea, The Axe, Lesser Succubus, Fran, Virgin Killer, Booty Warrior
Age: 233. But eternally 18.
Gender: Futanari
Race: Fights for the demons, though she serves no one.

Personality: There are only two things Francisca loves: fucking and fighting. And the only reason she's even in the war is to do both, possibly at the same time. There's very little on her mind but those two things, though generally enjoying herself on and off the battlefield is something she is capable of doing on her own. A pun making, blood thirsty, horny devil, Francisca can be both passionate but laid back, not giving a damn about the world but always giving it her all.

History: Francisca remembers very little of her past, not that it matters to her. She knows that once she was mortal, some sort of warlord or some such with a penchant for pillaging, raping, and burning. You know, stuff you’d expect you get sent to hell for. She never really changed except now she is much better at it. Currently her favorite enemies are Angels despite her demonic weakness towards them. She feels it makes for a far greater challenge and she loves dominating any holy warrior in her mercy. Truly Francisca is a vile creature, and she’s going to enjoy every moment of it.

Powers:
Shapeshifting - As a succubus Francisca has the ability to do shapeshifting, however unlike most of her kin Francisca’s shapeshifting is fairly minor. The best she can do is either remove her features or alter what features she already has, such as changing the size and of her body and it’s parts and be able to pass off as a human in appearance. She can create sharp talons as natural weapons if she needs them, though she prefers to fight with her axe. She's now capable of creating wings which she can use to fly. Even if these wings are damaged, she could instantly grow out a new pair even in midflight.

Demonic Traits - Francisca is much tougher as a demon than she ever was as a mortal, so much to the point that armor is useless to her (Though she still wears it for appearance). Regular mortal weapons hardly harm her unless they use a lot of it, and even then she can shrug off most long enough to get away. Only weapons made by angels or made of silver will overcome her damage resistance, and even then she is still very tough.

A lesser known trait is Francisca’s speed. Though she wields a weapon for barbarians, she is agile and dexterous with it. Speed is power, and combined with her toughness, Francisca is a very hard opponent to harm, either due to her sheer defense or her mobility.

Francisca’s strength is greater than most mortals, though it’s nothing worth noting compared to most demons. It is however enough to allow Fransisca to wield axes and other weapons far too big and heavy to be practical for most humans without a mech.

Illusions - Francisca’s strongest power, she can manipulate the emotions and perception of others to perceive whatever she wishes them to witness. It's powerful because there is no physical way to stop it: only with magic and enchantments could one ward themselves from Francisca illusions, and even that won't stop them if she manages to get you within her grasp and kisses you. To be kissed by Francisca would place the victim under her spell unless they had a strong will, and even angels will struggle against her magics if she gets them.

Incidentally, Francisca’s illusions are rarely useful against robots and machines. As her magic was meant to warp the minds of mortals and corrupt angels, they never accounted for the emotionless and unfeeling machines. Unless they're operated by a mortal or partly mortal (cyborgs and such), her illusions are useless against them.

Weapons:
Love Tap - Francisca’s axe. A massive weapon that weighs roughly 200 pounds, far too heavy for mortals to use and even some angels would find it’s weight impractical. But Francisca uses the axe with startling ease as if it wasn’t much heavier than a knife. The only enchantment on it is that Francisca can call the axe to her hand, and it will either fly directly back to her or teleport to her hand, which ever she wishes. Not only can she cleave foes with this weapon, but she can throw it as a projectile as well, faster than most missiles and would hit as hard as you’d expect a 200 pound thrown axe would.

Bonds of Matrimony - A lesser known but still useful weapon in Francisca’s repertoire. It appears to be a short sword of some sort, but in actuality it is a spear head. On the hilt is a single chain link, and when Francisca throws the weapon by the link, the chain can extends infinitely. Francisca uses this weapon to hook light opponents into her reach, or for her to grapple onto larger ones. The weapon itself can be controlled telekinetically by Francisca so long as she still holds onto the chain, allowing it to move on it’s own to hook into or strike opponents.

Equipment:
Wand of Light Infernal Healing - Because regular healing magic is often associated with holy magic and thus lethal to demonkind, Francisca carries a wand of Infernal Healing. Where most healing spells can restore damage instantly, a Wand of Infernal Healing instead provides regeneration. The healing is not instant, however the regeneration will last for some time, and should if finish it can often heal wounds worse than a simple healing spell would have. Francisca's wand is a light version, meaning that it’s healing effects are fairly minor. It can be used to remove wounds and help accelerate one’s natural recovery, however it cannot heal poisons and it alone cannot undue crippling injuries.

Breastplate - A Breastplate in an almost literal sense of the word. Made of steel native to the realms of hell, it is a masterwork set of armor, or what little is armored anyways. It’s almost a mockery of actual armor, because while there is such things as pauldrons and gauntlets, greaves and sabatons even, the armor is far too form-fitting and is missing any protection from the sternum down. It doesn’t even have any pants or skirts to protect one’s decency. However, there is an enchantment on the breastplate that creates a field of force just inches above the skin, rending the need for a full suit of armor pointless. Indeed, it could have all be fitted onto an amulet instead, but Francisca is nothing if not impractical.

Aphrodisiac Poison - A bottle of taint that can be applied to a weapon or directly imbibed, being under the effects of this poison causes one to become a weak, horny mess. So strong that even succubi can fall under the effects of it, and no being too pure will be able to resist it’s toxins. Perfect for catching prisoners to turn into sex slaves. Similar to Francisca’s illusions, largely ineffective against the entirely inorganic machines.

Other: An illusion that Francisca often has up is her own theme song, which both alerts and strikes fear into the heart of anyone who hears it, for it is the harbinger of her insatiable lust.



Additionally, whenever anyone calls her by her full name Francisca Labrys Seax Luxuria, she will know. Under the right circumstances, she can even be summoned. The ritual needed to summon Francisca involves drawing a simple pentagram onto the ground, with some sort of axe at the center, and the presence of a virgin within the circle. When summoned, the axe will vanish and Fran will appear above the virgin. For those whom she favors, Fran can gift them an effigy made from Fran's hair. With this one only needs to make a pentagram and recite Fran's true name (Her full name essentially) to summon her.

Name: Dorafraki "Dora" Goldion
Title: Fragment of Ukonvasara
Age: Has achieved sentience for over 179 years
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Angels
Race: Dora is actually a magic hammer. Her physical body is merely an avatar used to wield the hammer, and it can be summoned or dismissed freely. Dora is a legendary artifact that has achieved sentience, choosing to fight for whichever side is worthy of using her.
Personality: Something short and to the point.
History:

Dora is merely a shard to the legendary weapon Ukonvasara, the Hammer of Lightning. But unlike other contemporary Lightning Hammer's such as Mjölnir, Ukonvarsara forged lightning rather than struck with it's fury. Much of Dora's initial existence was to forge weapons for the Angels of Heaven, forging lightning bolts into swords for it's soldiers. But one day, Dora came into contact with a shard of the true Ukonvasara, a Thunder Stone. And through this thunder stone, Dora was able to achieve sentience and grew in power. Now she leads the forge smiths in Heaven to create newer, stronger weapons, sourcing the battlefield for more thunderstones to create weapons that are worthy for the gods themselves.

Powers:

Storm Caller - Thunder and Lightning answers to Dora's beck and call. She is able to summon torrential storms to flood the battlefield in water, or create powerful tornado that could launch even the heaviest ships into the skies. Or just call thunder down onto her enemies.

Astral Projection - Dora can create an avatar of herself to participate in battle, wielding her with mastery. This astral projection has great strength and endurance, perfect for the hostile conditions of the battlefield and forge. Additionally, while her Astral Projection can be "killed", as long as Dora still lives she can summon another Astral Projection to do battle shortly after the demise of the previous one.

Weapons:

Fragment of Ukonvasara - A mere fragment of the true holy weapon, Ukonvasara. Despite being only a fragment, this hammer wield considerable power from it's holy origins.

The Chosen One - Only those that Dora accepts can wield her. The unworthy cannot even pick her up, for it weighs so heavy even those with godly strength will not be able to move her. Those who are her enemies will be struck constantly by divine lightning, different from the nature sort in that divine lightning is not electricity or even a natural phenomenon, but a bolt of divine retribution meant to destroy.

Sky Forge - Dora is capable of forging anything instantly with a strike of her hammer. She could turn anything from raw iron, magma, and of course thunderbolts into weapons merely by striking them with her hammer. Most of these weapons are temporary if she only strikes them once, but if she has more time she could create a more permanent weapon for others to keep.

Equipment:

Thunder Stones - These black shards are said to be fragments of the true Ukonvasara. Using these stones, Dora can massively bolster the strength of her attacks, or create a powerful weapon by fusing the shard with an element nearby. She can also infuse the shard into weapons that already exist, increasing their powers further. However these shards are rare and only appear after a natural thunderstorm, so you can be sure that if there's stormy weather, Dora would be nearby.

History:
Falz was once a well known Machinist, one of the brightest the Machina had to offer. While he wasn't known for his social skills, his ability to build and repair machines was outstanding for someone of his age. He served in the Machina of Man's Army, building their machines of war and keeping them from falling apart after being thrashed by angels and demons. One day after a typically ruthless battle, Falz was scouring the battlefield for parts. He came across a wounded woman named Shii'Ell. While he had no medical skills, he treated her wounds to the best of his abilities and carried her to the nearest medical facility. After that the two of them started seeing each other when he wasn't busy, spending time with each other and growing close to each other. For the first time in his life, Falz thought he finally found someone that he could open up too. They spent two years together before the facade came to an abrupt halt. A scan from a passing scout bot revealed that Shii'Ell was in fact a Demon. A Succubus. Before giving her the chance to explain, Falz unleashed his nanobots on her, quickly killing her from the inside. After that, he didn't know what to do, so he did what he was best at... building machines. He rebuilt her as a machine using her body as a base. While it wasn't the perfect combination of machine and demon he was expecting, the result served him well. However, the mix of harboring a demon then bringing it back to life as a machine tarnished his name, but he didn't care. All he cared about was fighting the demons, and now he had the perfect tool to do so.

Personality:
Falz was never an overly happy man. Typically keeping to himself and his machines. The sight of him enjoying himself was rare, even more rare was the sight of him smiling. A simple man with with nothing outstanding about him. The only one he ever opened up to was Shii'Ell. Whether it was some sort of illusion, seduction power or just good compatibility, Falz always felt at ease around her. It was one of the reasons he fell in love with her. After killing her, however, Falz returned to his silent self. Keeping more to himself then ever before, but this time just slightly more angry. He seems to dislike the demons over the angels, focusing most of his time on coming up with new ways to defeat them.

Powers:
Machinist Expert: Being an expert in his field, Falz can create or repair almost any machine provided he has the parts, if not he can jury rig objects around him to work. This makes him a great asset, allowing him to act like a medic to machines while they fight against their foes.

Weapons:
Cluster of Combat Nanobots: Swarms of nanobots contained in small capsules. While weak on their own, a swarm of nanobots can attack and dissemble any living or non-living object, including demons and angels. They are shielded to protect them against light attacks. While they are effective on taking apart enemies, any high tier angel or demon would have no problem protecting themselves from the nanobots, limiting their use to self defense.

Equipment:
Repair Equipment: Self Explanatory

Cluster of Repair Nanobots: Nanobots specifically outfitted to aid and repair machines built by the Machina of Man. They are not armoured like the combat nanobots and cannot deal with foreign material making them useless in combat. They are, however, cheaper and easier to produce compared to their combat based counterpart.

Holographic Command Terminal: A terminal that allows Falz to override his nanobots default programming and allowing him to control them manually. Can also be used to communicate with and monitor Shii'Ell.

Other:
Despite his genius with Machina and machines, Falz has left himself completely unaltered. He is still as human as the day he was born. He states that the Machina are a tool for man to survive, not to replace man. As such he refuses to upgrade or alter his body as a testament to his beliefs.

Name: Shii'Ell Dreznok Ashkorr

True Age: Unknown (Looks 29)

Age since Rebirth: 3

Gender: Female

Allegiance: The Machina of Man (Formerly Demons of Hell)

Race: Cyborg Succubus

History:
Once a Demon, this Succubus has been reduced to a tool by the human she tried to kill. A young Succubus with thirst for lust set her eyes on a young man named Falz Ashkorr. Disguising herself as a wounded female, he took her in and treated her wounds. There were many times he had his guard down, where she could strike, doing what ever she wanted to him. But she never did. For two years she stayed with him, living with him as a lover, rather then a demon fooling her pray. However, her secret came out and her true identity was shown. It was none other then Falz who ended up dealing the final blow, taking apart her heart with his nanobots. Her last memory was her looking up at Falz as he held her, an empty expression on his face. Then, nothing. Her memory had been wiped, leaving her no recollection of any of her history before her rebirth. Since she has been reborn, she has accompanied Falz as his servant and his protector. Helping him claim victories against the enemies of the Machina of Man. She still gets the occasional glimpse of her past life, but ignores it, not wanting to risk ruining her current life.

Personality:
Shii'Ell is kind and gentle, not something you'd expect from a former Demon who has been forced into a living hull, serving a human that she once targeted. Her personality is formed from fragments of her own memory from the time before she was killed, during the two years that Shii'Ell and Falz spent together. Shii'Ell acts more like a friend then a servant or combat based machine. And even though she is still part machine, programmed to serve Falz, she is capable of free will and has the power of choice.

Powers:
A note on Demonic Powers: Shii'Ell has lost most of her demonic powers as a result of being infused with Machina technology, leaving her with just her body's strength and agility, and some of her lesser powers.

Flight: A lesser power, Shii'Ell can still command her demonic aura to grant her flight, giving her an edge over any ground locked foe she might come across. While Falz could've easily given her an upgrade to let her do this using Machina technology, he left it as is as a built in flight system would only draw more unneeded power from her internal battery.

Weapons:
Her own body: A demon's own body is one of it's greatest weapons and that goes for Shii'Ell. While she's lost most of her demonic powers, her body's strength and agilty not only remains, but are amplified using technology built into her by Falz. Her strength, speed and agility surpass what her former body was capable of thanks to the implants and technology that runs through her demonic body.

Unforgiving Lust Mk. II: Shii'Ell's original spear, made from unknown material from the depths of hell. Falz upgraded the spear, strengthening the shaft with layers of electromagnetic alloy and replacing the blade with an energy beam. Much like Shii'Ell herself, Unforgiving Lust Mk. II is an amalgamation of demon and machine and carries the strength of both and, much like Shii'Ell, carries the weaknesses as well. Shii'Ell can summon this spear at will, using a combination of the lesser Demonic Power she has remaining and teleportation technology.

Equipment:
Armadillo Class Shell: When Shii'Ell's flesh started to decay, Falz replaced it with an armoured shell. Not only does it protect Shii'Ell from physical and angelic attacks, it provides her with power needed for her abilities, acting as her main power supply. The shell can last up to four months on internal power without major use. About a week if she was in constant combat and around three hours if she stayed at max power. However, being as it is Machina of Man technology, it is weak to Demonic attacks.

---

Personality:
Raziel is a being of strict, disciplined vision. He in uncompromising in his beliefs that the angelic race is capable of great things, and he is willing to destroy anyone who he perceives as an inconvenience along the path to bringing his people to their full potential. This core belief-the foundation of his outlook was set in stone long ago, back when he was a youngling capable of perceiving and understanding the world around him.

As one might expect, a major face of Raziel's personality is his complete intolerance for substandard beings. Those who submit themselves to their basest instincts, eschewing their potential for greatness through ignorance and weakness, are anathema in his eyes. The masses that cannibalize wildly on others out of pure hunger are, to him, insulting creatures that serve no purpose but to be stepped on to bolster the strong-willed and able-minded. He is extremely adamant about the each worthy angel continuing to better themselves without rest. Should even one instance of unworthy behavior reach his ear, even if it is just a single lapse from an otherwise exemplary holy being, the punishment from his judgment is swift and merciless, earning him the the title of the
'The Holy Bolt.'

The 'Holy Bolt ' is perfectly rational--even courteous--to those who he deems worthy of his respect. Any angel who display the qualities that he finds most suitable is treated as an equal in his eyes.

All of the emotions that Raziel finds useless or degrading are hidden deep within the flesh of his soul, heavily suppressed by the same discipline that allows him to lead as the Holy Bolt . As a result, each major emotion that he shows is almost entirely under his control. He does not become elated unless he permits himself to feel the rush of positivity, nor does he become angry without a purpose to its expression. On a functional level, this allows him to utilize his powers and skills in ways no others can, with him accessing such feelings whenever he deems it beneficial to battle. When looked at through a social perspective, however, it makes the man seem incredibly cold. He rarely smiles or shows any emotion at all, even when cutting down dissidents--a thing that has spawned more rumors about his cruelty than any other source.

History:
Raziel Ingelbert , the Holy Bolt who brings judgement upon those who oppose the Heavens, can trace his blood and breath back through legend and myth to the heavenly world. Seraphs are born in small numbers, maybe a duo every century, and Raziel happened to be one of the oldest. As a Seraph, he was born, groomed, and trained to carry on the mantle of Seraphim. The Seraph of Judgment. As a Seraph, Raziel passes judgment on those who oppose the angelic race with the holy lightning of heaven.

Name: Suyiketsu 'Suyi' Yomi
Title: Oni Princess | Oni King
Age: Young, by comparison
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Demons of Hell | Yomi Plane
Race: Oni
Personality: Being the representative of the Yomi Plane, Suyi acts with clear intentions and rarely does an action of her without thought put into it. Despite being prideful the Oni goes to great lengths for her kin and is not afraid to get herself dirty. As refined as she tries to be however, it seems to be a common thing that Oni usually act rather wild and dark but still with passion. Though, as long as Suyi doesn't get drunk everything is alright.

Since she lost her parents the Oni is also out for revenge and would do nearly anything to attain enough power to do so.

History:
There was once a mortal woman and a powerful demon who fell madly in love with each other - hoping to close the bridge created between the two factions. Without much success however, the mortal woman soon saw herself an outcast while the demon, unyielding through his love, had to crave a new home for the two, sheltering his lover from the harsh environment of the Demon Realm.

This was how the Yomi Plane came into existence - their children being the first beings that would soon be titled Oni. Despite retaining a lot of standard demonic traits from their First Father, the Oni's culture and social behaviour was ultimately decided by their First Mother, making the Yomi realm look like something out of a human fairy-tale.

Because of this, and them being no pureblood demons, Oni's were usually looked down upon, ultimately living a secluded life in their self-created monarchic Paradise.

With human-blood inside them, the average life-span of an Oni was a lot lower compared to the standard demon, leading to a lot of inbreeding and variations between themselves before ultimately becoming what they were today: Nearly human-looking with, usually, two horns on their head.

Suyiketsu herself was born as the heir of the Yomi Plane. Without any siblings to compete against and under the protection of the Oon Barrier, her parents education was rather considerate and thoughtful. Of course, no peace lasted eternal, and Suyiketsu suddenly found herself at wits end as a metal-winged angel single-handedly crushed her own little paradise and killed her parents... . Thus, her quest for revenge and honour began.

Powers:
Oni Horns
The power of a Oni is directly tied to the size and amount of horns they posses. With their First Father, Yomi, also being called the Many Horned Devil, most Oni nowadays have two horns. Rumours have it that way older generations were able to transform into more-horned variant, greatly amplifying their power.

Being an incredible prideful folk, the horns are also the source of protection against mind-fuckery abilities, making it hard to impossible to subside even a two-horned specimen.

The Horn of an Oni is extremely sturdy and a highly sought after material in the creation of protective gear.

Oni Power
Somehow, something the Oni seem to be famous for is their strength. While increased physical attributes in comparison to a non-techno-human are superior, what really stands out is their strength, even amongst their demon brethren.

Oni Vitality
Another trait Oni posses are their regeneration, able to withstand immense amounts of suffering. Sadly, however, the power of this ability fluctuates even more than others with the amount of horns they posses, making a two-horned variant take two weeks to regrow an entire limb.

Oni Mystic
The Oni horns are full of magical energy! While their main use is to amplify traveling between this plane and others through special portals and their own blood, it isn't too uncommon that various mystics of the Oni species are fearsome magicians. Suyiketsu, however, did not receive any proper training in such arts so far.

Weapons:
The Key Of Creation: Fate
Supposed to be one of the Seven Keys of Creation that the Oni, Urias the Butcher, had taken from the Angel's a long time ago. Supposed to alter Fate itself, the Key simply became a family heirloom.

Whatever it is just a legend or the truth, the Key, in form of a blade, is simply a reliable weapon that never seems to lose its Edge.

Equipment:
The Key Of Creation: Neuanfang
Supposed to be one of the Seven Keys of Creation that the Oni, Urias the Butcher, had taken from the Angel's a long time ago. Supposed to alter existence itself, the Key simply became a family heirloom.

The pendant was returned to their rightful owners in the recent attack against the Yomi Plane.

Name: Hibiki and Shizuka Meido
Title: Mecha Maids, Smash Sisters, The Twins, Heal Bot (Hibiki), The Iron Maiden(Shizuka)
Age: As twin sisters, they're both 27 years old.
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Machina of Men
Race: Hibiki is human, however Shizuka is a Holy Spirit. Essentially, she had died and went to heaven. She can now interact with other mortals even beyond death, though after siding with the Machina of Men, Shizuka has to go through great lengths to stay by her sister's side.
Height: Hibiki - 1.8 Meters, Shizuka - 2 Meters
Weight: Hibiki - 65 kg, Shizuka 76kg
Personality:
Hibiki is energetic and devious. As the more talkative of the twins, she often speaks on behalf of herself and Shizuka, and is essentially the brains between the two. While always full of pep and eager to fight, Hibiki knows better than to just rush-headlong into things and often plans out her attack. She likes a more supportive but active role to ensure that everyone is fighting at their peak efficiency. Hibiki is oddly good at seeing through people and getting a read on them, which she simply attributes to a woman's intuition.

Shizuka is relaxed and affable. She always seems a bit sleepy or spacey, but make no mistake, Shizuka is even more eager than Hibiki to get things done. Despite her calm demeanor, she's far more likely to jump into things and go with the flow than Hibiki is, and she'd do it all as quietly and effectively as she can. Shizuka likes to be on-point and fairly proactive, taking advantage of her enemies' weakness at a moment's notice. Shizuka can be dense at times, making her unaware of more subtle or mature things. Shizuka also isn't emotionless, she just has a good control over her own feelings.

History: Shizuka and Hibiki were born as twins, their names chosen for how each of the babies acted as soon as they were given to their mother: Hibiki never stopped crying, and even after she did she was always cooing for her mother's affections. Shizuka was more quiet, and after she calmed down she seemed to go straight into a nap. However Shizuka's silence wasn't just a quirk in her personality: of the two twins, she had the weakest health as a child. Before the twins were even two years old, Shizuka passed away and Hibiki would grow up without a sister.

At least, until Hibiki was 14 years old. One day she had a dream; a dream of a girl with blue hair who looked like her. Hibiki knew this girl was Shizuka, her would-be twin sister if she was alive today. Shizuka warned Hibiki of danger coming, giving her visions and warnings of things to come. Using this knowledge, Hibiki convinced her parents to move just in time: demons soon came to their home town, razing it to the ground. During that battle, Hibiki swore she saw her sister there at their old home, waving them goodbye.

Ever since that day Hibiki looked for her twin sister the only way she knew how: She had joined with the Machina of Men and trained as a Combat Engineer. She used the opportunity to get close to battle and find a glimpse of her sister, and one day she did. Hibiki was fighting against the forces of Heaven when her unit was ambushed by angels. Though death was cheap in the Nexus, it was still a fearful and painful experience. Hibiki's teammates were slaughtered one-by-one until eventually it came to her. But just before the deathblow could have happened, she was instead swept up into the arms of an another. Her sister, Shizuka.

The two escaped the battlefield, where they eventually came back to the Machina of men. Shizuka wanted to protect her mortal sister more than anything else, even if it meant betraying the heavens themselves. However Hibiki's commanding officers were hesitant to accept an angel in their ranks, and Hibiki refused to allow them to run tests on her. So a compromised was met; using their technology and Shizuka's knowledge of angelic rituals and magics, she was bound to her sister Hibiki, ensuring that if Shizuka was ever too far away from her sister that Shizuka's body would be pulled towards her. Additionally, Shizuka's angelic powers were suppressed with mechanized armor dubbed "The Iron Maiden", which while powerful for a mortal, would suppress most of Shizuka's powers as a Holy Spirit. With this arrangement, Shizuka joined Hibiki as a Combat Engineer.

Powers:
Hibiki doesn't really have any "powers" per say, and most of her tricks are reliant on her weapons and equipment (Detailed below). However Hibiki is a skilled sharpshooter and repairman, often employing both skills in battle at the same time. Hibiki specializes in utilizing various equipment and gadgets to overwhelm the enemy, as
physically speaking, Hibiki is a strong and athletic woman but still just human. Recently she has obtained a mechanical leg (It replaces her right leg) that functions very similarly to a biological one, at least well enough that it does not impede her in battle.

As a Holy Spirit Shizuka is normally capable of some magics, mostly minor things such as blessings and protective wards. She also knows a variety of holy rituals that allows her to provide additional support and utility. Physically, Shizuka actually does not feel pain or exhaustion, allowing her to go beyond the normal limits of most humans. That being said, Shizuka is no more capable that her sister is, only that Shizuka wouldn't tire out or cease due to pain.



Weapons:
Both Sisters:

"Cerberus" Modular Gauss Rifle - A combat rifle that uses a miniature but powerful electrical magnetic field to propel bullets at great speeds. It's called the Cerberus as it has three different firing modes. It has a long range mode where it can fire a charged shot with great accuracy and range, even causing an explosion upon impact. This mode is best for sniping or being used against heavily armored opponents. It's second mode is more automatic, either fully or semi, and instead of one powerful shot it instead fires a burst of weaker bullets. However while each shot is individually weaker than the other modes, they have a sort of incendiary property that allows them to continuously burn opponents who were hit. It's third mode is essentially a shotgun mode, where it fires a multiple bullets at once. Roughly as powerful as the first mode but with a shorter range, the purpose of the third mode isn't damage but impact: even at medium ranges it hits with enough force to dent most armors, and against small, lighter targets, if the blast itself doesn't kill them it will certainly knock them off their feet. Additionally, other accessories can be attached to the rifle for additional combat effectiveness, from anything a simple as a bayonet to even another gun.

Pulsar Gauss Pistol - Similar to the rifle, this pistol uses a miniature electrical field to fire bullets. An emergency weapon, it simply has a fully auto function that fires high impact bullets. It has a decent range as well, making it essentially a weaker fusion of the three forms of the Cerberus rifle.

Charge Blade - What appears to be a simple combat knife is actually an advanced plasma weapon. While it functions as a regular blade in it's dormant state, when activated it can emit a powerful plasma edge that would melt through nearly all types of organic and inorganic materials.

Hibiki's Gear:

Biotic Rifle - A sniper rifle that shoots a bullet made of nanomachines. When they hit an enemy, they not only pierce them as much as they can, but they also break apart and corrode any physical matter around them. When they strike a friendly unit (Friendly being programmed prior to battle), they instead disperse into a mist right before striking the friendly unit, and the naomachines would instead repair equipment and heal any wounds covered by the nanomachine mist. The nanomachines are also covered in a sheath or energy that disrupts magical barriers and essence, allowing them to harm incorporeal beings and those who are normally resistant or immune to mundane weaponry.

Bastion Turrets - These are automatic turrets that Hibiki can place using a deployment package. Hibiki can leave them where they're at to attack anyone she deems an enemy, as well as see through their sights to maintain a surveillance in an area. She can control them either remote or manually as well. Bastion Turrets also create a forward shield that protects everything directly behind them, leaving only their turrents directly damageable.

Tricky Bombs - A variety of explosives that Hibiki uses to lay traps or attack her enemy. She has simple ones such as bombs that explode into fire and shrapnel, but she also has some that create slick oil, a sticky glue, bombs that create a heavy gravity to bring down flying opponents, bombs that implode, and much more. Hibiki get's these bombs from a specialized bag on her waist that creates them on the spot, though they do require raw material to make, which Hibiki typically gathers before hand or on the battlefield.

Shizuka:

Power Fist - A fusion of Shizuka's Rocket Sledge and Force Shield, this armored gauntlet is equipped with rocket boosters near the elbow as well as a force field generator, allowing Shizuka to create the same wide-shield as before or sheath her gauntlet in energy to disrupt physical matter that comes into contact with the fist. Thanks to Shizuka's limitation removal, she can easily use this gauntlet without additional equipment to assist her.

Seier - An ornate sword Shizuka obtained from the Valkyrie Gwynn when she fell in battle. Seier is now bound to Shizuka, thus it will return to her should she ever lose it upon death. Additionally, Shizuka can now use her magic to change the size and shape of Seier. She can make it into a dagger for tight-corridors or assassination, it's original size, or even into a large two-handed sword suitable for a mech.

Azazel - Essentially a heavier and more powerful version of the Cerberus. The rapid fire mode is the equivalent of a heavy anti-material machine gun, the shotgun mode becomes a veritably shock cannon capable of seismic damage at close range, and it's sniper mode is effectively an anti-tank rocket with the same speed but greater power than a bullet. This weapon is actually suppose to be used by mechs, but has been built into a weapon compact enough for Shizuka to use on foot.

Equipment:

Both Sisters:

IM-0RT4L Combat Armor - Combat armor that the sisters wear in battle. Not only do they provide them protection from attacks but also environmental hazards, allowing them to survive environments that lack air, are deathly cold or hot, or even toxic to life (at least for a short time).

Nereid Aquatic Operation Armor - Combat armor that the sisters wear for underwater missions. Despite it's form fitting figure, the armor has everything the sisters need to fight in and underwater: it can filter water into breathable air, withstands the pressure of the ocean from any depth, allow the sisters to swim and maneuver through the water with ease, see in the dark, and they're color coordinated. Shizuka's armor is a light blue with more armor than her sister's, as Shizuka's armor is meant for melee combat and speed. Hibiki's armor is a vibrant pink that, despite what one may think, can actually camouflage itself underwater very well, especially in light. While underwater, Hibiki's armor actually wraps the light around her, causes her to vanish as long as she is still. Her armor further helps Hibiki hold her position even in the harshest conditions: her long "Hair" is actually a fin that helps her stabilize and maintain her position. Additionally, Hibiki can fuse her legs together into a single mermaid like tail, which allows her greater speed to escape foes who get too close to her.

Hibiki:

Stalker Cloak v2- A collar that Hibiki wears around her neck, the Stalker Cloak can generate a small field around her body that not only turns her invisible, but also silences any noise that originates from within the field to anything outside of it. So while Hibiki can still hear things perfectly fine, no one will be able to hear her. The stealth field also removes any traces of heat, aroma, or even life within it's area of effect, allowing Hibiki to go completely unnoticed. Additionally the Stalker Cloak has been given additional upgrades, including greater durability to allow repeat use, as well as a new feature: instead of just turning invisible, Hibiki can break down her body and equipment into a flying mass of nanomachines, assuming a semi-incorporeal form. This form is controlled with Hibiki's mind and allows her to slip through hazards and barriers she normally wouldn't be able to, however in this form Hibiki also can't directly interact with objects, only move around or avoid them. She has to reform if she wishes to do anything else aside from move.

Repair Drones - Hibiki has a bandoleer of what appear to be grenades, but are actually small robots who can help repair machines for Hibiki. While durable, they are not suited for combat, however they are almost as good at repairing machines and robots as Hibiki is, and can often undo damage done in a matter of seconds. Hibiki carries three of these.

Shield Generator - An upgrade from Shizuka's usual IM-0RT4L Combat Armor, it effectively gives the same benefits but without the need to equipping armor Itself. It takes the form of a back-mounted generator with bracelets and anklets to help shape the barrier to a more humanoid form.

Matter Replicator - Using the resources from Alt Signia, Hibiki has improved the nanomachine technology she utilizes. The pouch she uses that once was only used to make her explosives can now replicate any equipment she feeds to it, including weapons from a battle. She can also create instant replicas of her equipment using it, allowing her to be ready for battle at a moment's notice.

Shizuka:

Gwynn - A formerly unnamed shield of the Valkyrie Gwynn, when she died defending the Eliticor from demonic hordes, Shizuka took up her shield in honor of her memory. It is now bound to Shizuka. Useful for blocking projectiles and deflecting blows. Like the sword Seier, this shield is capable of changing it's size and shape to suit Shizuka's need. Currently it serves as Seier's sheath, and should it be needed Shizuka can equip the shield in battle.

Other: Hibiki and Shizuka's outfits for repair and mechanical work is their maid uniforms. It helps with moral.

Personality: On the surface Krinsa seems to be a cold person as her main focus is survival and her current (and overarching) goal. She is just a blunt person, typically saying what is on her mind, though this should not be confused with a lack of discretion. She is a nice enough person. If someone were in trouble she’d be likely though she would also expect compensation of some sort. Her loyalty to the Demons is. . . troubled at best.



Powers:
Heaven and Hell: An ability that she uses in combination with her Arkshock Blade. The electricity coursing through her blade becomes filled with holy light and the blade itself burning as the flames of hell.

Dark/Light Orb: Krinsa creates an orb of Dark Demonic energy or Holy Angelic energy. Each do a slightly different thing. Dark Orbs explode on contact with anything. Light Orbs slightly expand and then implodes on themselves. For the most part, these move slowly when she throws them so it is best done at a very close range.

Dark Flight: Normally, Krinsa has her wings hidden. She can call them out to give her the ability of flight. Her wings are similar to an angels, just black.

Mixed Heritage: As a being of mixed heritage, she has a bit of the positives of both sides. The innate abilities of the angels and the slightly heightened physical abilities of her father.

Weapons:


Arkshock Blade: The Arkshock Blade is Krinsa’s weapon of choice. In short, it is a katana with a massive charge of electricity coursing along and off the blade of the weapon. It was originally made to be a weapon for Krinsa by the scientists that imprisoned her. It’s electrical flow can obviously be turned off.

Dual Exploiters: A pair of semi-automatic handguns that shoot out slightly inaccurate explosive bullets Best used at medium to close range.

Changing Repertoire: Not a weapon exactly, but Krinsa has a changing repertoire of weapons that she can use from rifles to grenade launchers.

Equipment: Among some other things, Krinsa carries a few grenades around.

A Example of his power is when he attacked a Village of Humans. He entered the Village by himself and stood in the center of it looking out across it. This was in the middle of the night his preferred attacking time. As he watched a village elder came out and looked at him with horror in his Face. Aidoneus just smiled and lifted his hand up and unleashed a Shadow ball into the mans chest. He then walked over to the location of the mans Home and entered it to see scared children and a wife. He smiled at him and then turned away as his men dealt with them all the while screams could be heard. Throughout the night he repeated the same thing screams could be heard all over the village and he smiled at it all. Enjoying the screams of terror. Enjoying the begs of mercy asking why he was doing this. All he said was that they wee in his way and nothing else.

Powers: Controls the Shadows
Shadow Ball - A Ball of Shadows that is unleashed. If it hits a object.. The object becomes Corrupted

Shadow Vines - These Vines of Shadow Trap the user. For most they are hard to break out of as they grow stronger the more a person stuggles in them

Shadow portal - This portal allows for one to travel to places they have been as well as allow lesser Shadow Demons join the battle. The portal only lasts a few seconds and then can not be re opened until the next night.

Embrace the Shadows - The Shadows Completely Surround Aidoneus and create a barrier between him and his enemies. It can only last for a Few minutes. It is only in this form that he can summon more powerful Shadow Demons. Once out of this form he is weak and needs a few hours to regain his strength

Weapons: Sword of The Demons - This Sword was handed to Aidoneus by his father. The Sword is made from Finest Metal in the world and surroudned by the Shadows is only able to be wielded by someone that has control over the Shadows. The Sword is long and sharp.

Daggers of the Fallen - This Dagger is used mainly for Assassinations. Why it is called The Dagger of the fallen is because of how it was Aquired. A fallen Angel once used the Sword before Aidoneus killed him and took the sword

Equipment: Plate Armor ( Arms, Legs Torso )

Other: Aidoneus will not hesitate to kill his fellow Demons if they fail a task. He is ruthless and cruel. It is rumored he killed his own father just because the Man was weak and he hates weakness

Name: Omega
Title: The Divine Deputy
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Heaven
Race: Spirit
Height: 6’
Weight: Does spirit energy weigh anything?

Personality:
Omega is a stereotypical cowboy. Kind and soft spoken always ready to lend a hand or gun to whoever needs it. Speaking of, his weapons of choice are a bit of a controversy among him and the angels. While they swear by the sword, Omega feels they could easily turn the tide of the war if they just started utilizing technology and often speaks openly about this. Nevertheless, the hosts of heaven are his people and Omega will fight to the end for them.

History:
Not even Omega knows how he came into being. When asked he simply says one day he “woke up”. He had no memory, no family, and no name. What he did have was a ghost town and an intact collection of old western movies and memorabilia. He learned everything from them and adopted the persona of a wandering lone cowboy as he identified with those characters the most.

After much time had passed Omega longed more and more to find more of his own kind. He began traveling long distances searching for signs of life. Eventually, he happened upon a Nexus portal and decided to enter. It was here he found a land under heavenly control brimming with life. While he was clearly not one of them, the angels who lived there accepted him and even gave him a name based on the symbol that replaced his face. While he learned their culture and way of life, he stuck to his cowboy motif simply because at this point it was who he was.

Though he had been told of the war, he never really felt the drive to fight in it since it wasn’t really his war. That was until the demons launched an attack on his new home. Watching the only people he had known and cared for be slaughtered was more than enough motivation for Omega to take up his guns and fight back.

Powers:
Heavenly Light: Omega emits a power light that temporarily blinds anyone unfortunate enough to be looking at him at the time.

Ethereal Form: Lacking a real body or true form, physical attacks such as regular bullets and weapons have little effect on Omega. However, he is more susceptible to magic and energy based attacks.

Charge Shot: Channeling his energy into his guns, Omega can fire off a more powerful shot that deals more damage the longer he holds it.

Weapons:
Truth and Justice: Twin revolvers of Omega’s own design. Made from celestial silver and infused with holy powers. They fire spiritual rounds capable of slaying demons and piercing armor plating. When the fight goes hand to hand Omega can still use them as each one had a blade on the end just as sharp as any other heavenly sword.

Equipment: N/A

Other:
Omega is ambidextrous which is why he can use a gun in either hand to full effect.

Name: Balrog
Title: The Juggernaut (Bitch!)
Age: 300+
Gender: Killer
Allegiance: Demons of Hell
Race: Murder Beast
Height: Big
Weight: Crushing

Personality:

Balrog isn't the smartest and even has trouble speaking, but that doesn't matter to him as he lives for one thing, war. His thirst for battle and blood is unquenchable and has never turned down a challenge, even facing impossible odds (which may have been the reason he got captured before). He is loyal to hell simply because he fully embraces their brutal tactics both on and off the battlefield and has respect for those who show strength in combat. Other than that, no one owns Balrog, which is why he has nothing but resentment towards the Machina for trying to make a slave of him.

History:

One day, some scientists from the Machina decided “Hey, if hell can corrupt and control us, why don’t we do the same?” Then some other guy was like, “That’s a great idea!” Then they high fived and drank some beers or something. They began their experiments small, captured imps and lesser demons that would do great as fodder, and eventually moved to bigger and badder ones that could actually do some damage on the battlefield. In time they had enough mind controlled demons for a small army and were ready to unveil their secret project to Queen Eos, when the opportunity of a lifetime came their way in the form of Balrog.

Mortally wounded but still alive the Machina had him in cryostasis in the hopes of keeping Balrog from dying and thus respawning, but the group of scientists had a better idea. Fix him up and make the colossal demon their greatest weapon yet! They gave him life support systems, replaced any missing limbs with state of the art weaponry and gadgets, and plated it all in the strongest armor they could. Truly they had made a demon that could rival even some of their greatest mechs, and hey, as long as it had its compliance chip, what could go wrong?

Lots. Lots could go wrong. The scientists didn’t account for Balrog’s berserk ability overloading and shorting out the compliance chip. Free of their control, Balrog went on a rampage destroying everything in his path. Desperate to stop him the scientists released every demon they had; none of them survived.

The scientists dead and their research lost in the facilities destruction, Balrog became the only remaining cyberdemon and returned to hell stronger than ever, and ready to rip and tear like never before.

Powers:

Berserk: Unleashing all his power and rage Balrog goes into a frenzy attacking everything in sight. He becomes stronger, faster, and ignores most light damage. Be careful, not even those under hells banner will be spared if they get in his way.

Bloodlust (passive): Killing a powerful enemy (PC/Important NPC) empowers Balrog and rejuvenates a portion of his health.

Weapons:

The Death Cannon: The Death Cannon was originally manufactured for a Grafdakka model, but rather than spend the time custom building a new arm for the new Machina demon, it was repurposed and given to Balrog. It comes with four rocket launchers that can be fired independant of each other or simultaneously. Surrounded by them is a particle cannon that rapidly fires plasma orbs perfect for taking down groups of infantry or shielded targets..

Arm Claw: On the other hand, literally, Balrog has as very large shell like claw that works great in close quarters combat. Being nearly hard as steel it slices unarmored opponents like butter.

Reaper Beam: Mixing his natural hell energies with the power of his robotics Balrog fires a focused beam from his chest that rips through even the most heavily armored enemies. All that raw power does take time to charge (01 turn) and the cool down makes it impossible to fire consecutively (03 turns).

Equipment:

Leg Mounted thrusters: The amount of fuel it takes to lift Balrog would do jack all to let him fly, but it is enough to propel him at ramming speeds.

Name: Joseph Wolf
Title: The Inquisitor
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Machina of Man

Race: Superhuman.

Height: 7’ 2”

Weight: Not sure. The scale broke when we tried to find out.

Personality:
Wolf’s mind is a cold and efficient one. A firm believer in the ends justifying the means, he will go to any length to complete his assignments with ruthless efficiency. His years of conditioning to fight magic has given him a deep hatred of it; viewing it as the crutch that has doomed the other factions and as such detests when his own kind turn to it. Between his strict personality and his robotic armor, it’s easy to see why many have mistaken Wolf as just another machine and not an actual human.

History:
Though it’s origins are unknown, it is speculated The Inquisition started out as an order wanting to learn magic; much like The Knights of Winter. However, when such orders began to fall apart, it became clear magic was not something man would be able to out class its enemies in. Thus, The Inquisition instead turned from trying to control it, to eradicating it.

Using what they had learned about magic, they discovered that those with psychic abilities could connect with the magical essence of the Nexus and, theoretically, alter it. The power needed to do this though was exponential and the only way to achieve it would be to enhance a natural born psychic with neural implants. Of course doing so often resulted in the subjects mind being fried from an overload of power, but The Inquisition wasn’t about to give up. After spending years perfecting neural technology, The Inquisition finally saw their first success in Joseph Wolf.

Though he was only a child at the time, Wolf was the only subject whose mind could tolerate and use the high amounts of psychic energy. From there they began his training, teaching him how to control his powers and use them effectively in combat. As he grew older he was enlisted in one of the Machina’s super soldier programs, undergoing genetic modification and further combat training.

Equipped with the latest Power Armor and weapons, Wolf is now ready to show the Nexus why it should fear any warrior of The Inquisition.

Powers:

Incorruptible (passive): With the mind of a fortress and the increased defense of his power armor, Wolf is immune to possession, hypnosis, hallucinations or other metal attacks of any kind.

Magic Detection (passive): Wolf’s psychic nature enhanced by his power armor allows him to detect and pinpoint any nearby magic and identify if it is holy, demonic, or perhaps something else?

Dispel: Using his powers to disrupt the energy of a spell, Wolf is able to essentially cancel and destroy even the most advanced spells. Requires at least medium proximity.

Disruption: Focusing on a specific target, Wolf can break their focus and blocking their magic essence, canceling any active spells while preventing them from casting anymore. Target can resume casting once Wolf’s concentration has broken.

Telepathy: Self-Explanatory.

Weapons:

Inquisitor Halberd: There are few weapons out there that match the quality of Inquisitor weaponry. Forged from pure adamantium and crafted with a celestial silver edge, these weapons are made to be unbreakable and able to cut down any foe. For added damage, there is a high powered flame unit installed at the back of the blade. It not only unleashes or torrent of fire upon its enemies, but also engulfs the blade giving it’s already devastating swings a lingering burn.

Arm cannon: Mounted on Wolf’s off hand is a high powered double barreled machine gun. While it’s low fire rate prevents any real crowd control, it’s damage output makes it than capable to handle stronger units.

Equipment:

Power armor: Easily the most important part of The Inquisitor’s equipment is their power armor. Designed to look like the Paladins of old, this hulking suits of armor is anything but ancient. The pinnacle of neural technology, The Inquisitor armor links directly to the users mind allowing full movement with thought essentially eliminating any sacrifice to mobility. Much like the rest of the Machina, the armor has a direct link to Eos for power and communication purposes. Top it all off with drastic increases in speed and strength and you have one of the most deadly warriors the Machina has to offer.

Other:

Name: Alexi Robsdotter
Title: The Knight of Winter
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Machina
Race: Human

Personality: For one who fights for the Machina, the Knight of Winter was an exemplar of many of the virtues of an angelic knight. Unquestioning loyalty born of honor and oaths, rejection of modern technology for chivalric steel and sorcerous will, a grim and serious demeanor. But the loss of her order has twisted seriousness to the hint of madness and turned grimness to fatalism that gnaws away at her heart. In a more idyllic time, Alexi would enjoy the pleasures of a roaring fire, hearty stew, and copious amounts of cheap beer and ale.

Personality Evolution: In practice, I settled on a far more deranged version of her personality. Aka, she used to be as above, but now she's plenty far further gone, while also gaining a sort of childlike aspect.

History: Humans have never been the race with the greatest sorcerous potential, but that does not mean they have none. The short lifespans of humans could never master magic to a degree that would allow them to fight in the war between Hell and Heaven on a mass scale, and their breakthrough came in the form of machines. There are occasionally those with the genius and natural potential to in a short life amass the power to fight, however, even if perhaps the playing field still isn't quite even.

The Knights of Winter, was once an order, living near the peaks of a snow-covered mountains, honing ice magic beyond mere manipulation of cold, and preparing their skills for when they were needed once more. When they were found and drawn into the conflict in the Nexus, their hearts were roused by the plight of humans seeking independence from both gods and devils, and they launched a crusade to aid the Machina. But they were few, and many were of only human talent, and they made no difference in the war at large. Especially due to the fact that the Nexus didn't seem to agree with them.

Alexi became The Knight of Winter with a capital T because there are none left of her kin or fellow knights. None of her oathbrothers have ever been reborn by the magic of the Nexus, and what was once a righteous crusade quickly became a lone warrior. Gifted beyond her years in skill, but more importantly in simple fate that left her the last of her kind.

Powers:

The Knight of Winter has ice themed powers. Shocking. However, her LITERAL ice powers are... Lackluster. While she can summon misty fogs, icebolts, and walls of ice, they simply lack in sheer power compared to angelic or demonic magicians, or even normal Machina technology such as guns and shield projectors. While bolstered in an cold environment or weakened in a hot environment, neither makes much of a difference to the fact that her literal cryomancy is little more than a support and utility power save in the most absolutely ice or fire aspected areas.

But her true powers are thematically related to "freezing" and slowing things, and the rebound when things revert to how they were meant to be.

Inviolability of the Mountain Peak- This creates an aura which places a "maximum speed" on all physical objects within a short distance of Alexi. Bullets become dodgeable, allowing martial combatants with the skill to parry arrows the potential to parry bullets. Momentum is however left intact, because magic says so, so the objects become no less deadly. If something enters then exits, it resumes appropriate speed.

Frostbourn Steps/Avalanche Strikes- Alexi can store up her speed, momentarily slowing her steps, to gain a great burst of movement, a "dash move". While her overall speed, does not change, sometimes it is useful to be much faster for a critical moment at the cost of slowness when you can afford to. Likewise, she can charge up a swing of her sword or some other strike, pushing and exerting her muscles, but her blade not moving until she releases the energy all at once in a strike that hits like ten. The weakness of both these abilities is that she cannot change the direction of the energy. Going right cannot become going left, and a thrust cannot become a swing, and being interrupted from focusing wastes the charge.

Dazzling Snow- Alexi can "freeze" the light coming off of her, to slow its travel from her body. When combined with fast movement, this can leave afterimages and leave the opponent a moment behind if they rely to much on their eyes and reactions.

Weapons: Her Oathblade is a magically augmented steel, that has served her well. It holds a keen edge and has not broken or blunted yet. It is also cursed or booned with the souls of all her fallen comrades. She does not know this, and thinks the pained voices are simply her own trauma, and not the fact that the Angel of Death has been futzing around to try and turn the otherwise worthless Order into a real force. The Oathblade currently draws upon the souls inside it to be very resilient, but if a necromancer with mastery of souls rather than just bones and bodies got ahold of it, or Alexi learned it's true potential, the power would be quite something.

Equipment: The Knight of Winter is well equipped for the snow. But otherwise doesn't carry many of the useful gadgets like grenades or guns that other Machina aligned characters might.
Theme:

Name: Sapphire Pink
Title: Has not earned one.
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Angel
Race: Woof

Personality: Sapphire has a lot of sympathy for all the pain and suffering in the Nexus. She doesn't, on the other hand, have much in the way of empathy. She tries to understand it intellectually, but there's only so much you can empathize with something you've never experienced. With her unique feeding mechanism, it's impossible for her to feel bad, or anything negative at all. No matter what the circumstance, she can't help but feel at worst neutral about a situation, even if she is being skinned alive. No hard feelings about that, Pink literally can't hold a grudge.

As such, Sapphire is perfectly happy to be in the Nexus, as there's an abundance of food, and she gets to make people happy by eating! Win win. Her goal is to eat as much emotion as she can, and there's ever so much of it. Except with those weird Machina, who are probably the closest things to something that can irritate Pink, as many of them don't have ANY emotions whatsoever for Pink to eat! Those metal people just plain confound her.

She'd like to learn whether those Machina are feeling emotions and she just can't eat the, and how to eat Machina emotions, if they do have them. She'd like to know what those emotions she eats actually feel like, just the once, to know. She'd like to eat and eat until she becomes such a singularity of emotion that she can eat all the negative emotions across the entire nexus, and make everyone "happy".

History: Sapphire Pink arose spontaneously from the complex tangled emotions of the Nexus. And she hooked up with Heaven because of her natural alignment. She's not all that powerful yet, even though she continues to feed. But maybe there'll be some particularly delectable suffering in the bigger fights.

Powers:

Negative Emotion Eater- Sapphire is fueled by negative emotions. In that she consumes and destroys them to generate energy. Getting a hug from Pink will always make you feel better, because she will literally start eating any emotion that is making you feel bad just by touching you. Note, this is emotions that are making YOU feel bad, not some arbitrary universal standard, so if the emotion of say, happiness, causes you physiological pain, Sapphire will eat that right up.

Mirror of Desire- Sapphire can transform herself into whatever inanimate object or appearance someone else desires. So, if someone else wanted her to look like Juno (and that person knew what Juno looked like), Sapphire could use this to look like Juno. Similarly, if someone was like "Ack, I need a sword!" Pink could transform into a sword. However, she doesn't do both appearance and inanimate object at the same time. So, if you want a sword, and use Pink, it's going to be extremely pink. She can still use her magic while in object form, and can communicate telepathically with anyone touching her. Her limit is her mass (she couldn't look like Jormundgar or tranform into a Longship) and for inanimate objects specifically, she has to understand how to transform into them, so she can't turn into a Chevalier suit for example.

Sapphire, of course, does not count as someone else to be able to copy her own desires.

Negative Emotion Sensing- Pink can sense the general direction of nearby negative emotions. It seems to somehow be connected to her sense of smell.

Power of Heart- Sapphire primary attack is beams of intangible holy energy that harm demons and phase through anything else.

Weapons: Spells/Herself.

Name: Cassiopia Julienne ??? (Last Name Unknown)
Title: She makes her minions refer to her as "Captain Cassidy" or "Captain Julie", occasionally with some extra flourishes on the end.
Age: 111, she's actually pretty happy with the numerical symmetry there.
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Demon
Race: Slimecubus, Succubed, Succubus/Slime, she tries to maintain the ruse that she's purely a Succubus though.

Personality: Cass doesn't like going outside much anymore. Surrounding herself with her walking fortress and minions is a defensive mechanism to not have to fight the world herself. Despite her desire for friends and attention, she finds herself unwilling to put herself at risk to earn them. She hides behind her persona of a cruel Pirate Captain or her outgoing cyberspace Profile. She tries to pretend she's got everything going on, that she's a high class succubus who's an elite hacker, has a giant battleship, and armies of undead following her charismatic and bold leadership. In truth, she's mostly just insecure and follows what everyone else tells her obsessively. But she'll still totally call down a massive artillery barrage on your house for headshotting her in her favorite FPS.

History: Whoever bore Cass gave her a nametage, and then cast her out. Fortunately, survival was not difficult, even as an infant, with her ability to simply slorp along the ground and eat whatever. However, by the time she could read the nametag she bore, it had apparently been marred, and the last name was torn off. Still, she called herself by the two names she was at least half sure were hers. Being not a particularly impressive personal fighter, she went to college to study a type of spellcraft to be useful on the battlefield. How she found a college in Hell is anyone's guess. It makes no sense.

There, she fell afoul of a "sorority" of other succubus and generally got teased and hazed mercilessly. One time she even got stuck in a reinforced waterbed for a week. As much as she would hate to admit it, that was kind of nice as it let her just entirely relax and let something else other than her own effort be her skin (nowadays, like a Vampire sleeps in a coffin, Cass sleeps inside a waterbed) Still, she broke free and pursued her studies. She sought necromancy in order to create friends, and when she mastered the art of necromancy, she made sure to put that sorority to good use in her thesis project. Or that's what she'd like to tell you. Instead she just tried to keep her head down and avoid ticking them off.

Eventually, however, she "mastered" necromancy, and realized she couldn't really make willing and intelligent friends without willing souls. Which required friends. Which presented a circlular problem, because she had a cripling fear of people now. Retreating to the online world, Cass started hacking her way into the Machina network via her ghosts, and started learning everything she could relating to machina, hoping now to create a robot companion. While she has not yet succeeded, she has learned much, and is created an ever expanding hive mind with her networked minions and herself. Eventually, she hopes to steal enough parts and enough knowledge to create true artificial intelligences to be her friends.



Powers:

-Slimebody to Love- Cass is both a slime and a succubus. Given that particular combination, her shapeshifting natural ability is VERY good, as both slimes and succubus have mutable forms. Cass generally uses this to appear to be a pure succubus. Unfortunately, it's also a bit tiring, as maintaining a non-gooey form takes a lot of focus, and when she vegs out, she tends to just start goo-ifying. She has very impressive damage resistance, in that most attacks tend to splatter her around rather than hurt her. Her particular goo she is constructed out of is extremely heat resistant, having fed during infancy near and eventually in lakes of hellfire, but freezes easily, and being frozen damages her cells. As she is mostly made out of goo, most attacks specifically targetting the living, such as poison gas, don't work. Her strength and speed are pretty good, though she doesn't particularly excel in either of them like say, a Succubus like Fran. As a succubus, she naturally can sense emotions (particularly lust), twist people's emotions (particularly to lust), send telepathic messages (particularly lusty ones), and create illusions (particularly lew-ok, I'll stop now). However, she has not focused training on these abilities, instead focusing on her necromantic and technological endeavors, meaning these are generally more instinctive and passive than intentional, other than Telepathy and Illusion. Telepathy she's ok at but not with great range. Her illusions tend to be wonky enough that they're easy to tell that they're illusions if looked at carefully, but sometimes that's fine. An illusion of fog still blocks your vision just as much as real fog even if you know it's an illusion.
Slimecubus Powers: Very good, but tiring shapeshifting, extreme durability (though not necessarily cohesively), near fire immunity (ice vulnerability), immunity to metabolic hazards, succubus mind stuff (Emotion sense/manipulation, telpathy, illusions) though not trained that well.

-Necromancer of Machines- Cass's actual effort in life, rather than the natural ability handed to her by birthright, has been towards the disciplines of necromancy and machina, and synthesising that into necromancy on machina. First in college, she studied traditional necromancy, but then she herself brought her love of machines into play, and learned hacking and then started coming up with unusual combinations.
Necromancer Powers: Soul Echo, Ghosts (with Hacking), Zombies (Networked), Skeletons (She can, but doesn't generally), Abominations (Necrolimb Armor), Corpse Explosion (Revengeance!), Shades
Soul Echo Manipulation: Necromancy is a risky prospect in the Nexus, and thus Cass has put a bit of an effort in to make her necromancy more palatable, and not fall apart when the animated being is resurrected. Her creations are animated by flesh, magic, and the echo of a being's soul, rather than the soul itself. While Cass does know traditional bind the soul necromancy, she doesn't dare use it.
Ghost in the Shell: While an adept hacker, even the best of hackers need an "in" or an "exploit" to start getting their mojo on. One of Cass's favored tactics is to send tiny ghosts to insubstantially slip into the enemy's circuits and give her a direct start at corrupting those 0's and 1's to her desires.
Corpse EX Echo- Revengance: The Machina and Angels have some absurdly powerful attacks at their disposal, and Cass would love all too much to return that power right at them when they abuse her Crew. Rather than just normally causing explosions from corpses by burning the energy of their remaining mass and lingering echoes of the departed soul, Cass can cause also tap into the spiritual echoes of the attack that killed them, launching a corrupted version of the attack that killed her minions. Or whatever corpses she finds.
The Dead Network: Zombies really have a lot of brainpower going to waste that they don't need, for all they moan about how much they want brains. Cass installs her minions with networking chips that communicate back with herself, creating an enormous distrubuted computing network to increase her mental capacity, while also allowing her to instantly give sychronized orders to all her minions. This also allows her to tap into her minions skills, which she has overly relied upon, having more or less 0 personal fighting experience if separated from her network. Her abominations are also part of this network.
Necrolimb Armor: As any proper necromancer of class, or specifically of the Advanced Animations: Abominations class, Cass can create abominations, twisted amalgamations of dead flesh that never existed in life. Apart from the general combat brutes, mount-type, or ships crewmen abominations that she has created, her prized abomination that approaches being a friend is her Necrolimb armor that was her first creation in that class, which helps protect her, keep her in a mostly cohesive physical form rather than splattering and gooping everywhere, and boosts her physical capabilities from "alright" to "ouch". It has many limbs, eyes, horns, teeth and tongues, like any proper abomination, and this one even has a fair bit of intelligence. When expecting battle, it will usually be outfitted with shields, guns, and other assorted weapons. While her Necrolimb armor is part of her Dead Network, its connection is merely communication so they can synchronize in battle. It really is the closest thing to a friend she has, so she doesn't want to lose that, even if it would increase her fighting capability, as by the time Cass is personally fighting, she's probably lost most of her Dead Network and thus fighting skill.
Shades: Cass would really love to have some friends and such that weren't part of her amalgamated networked hive mind. Maybe pretty too. So, she's learned how to make undead that are intelligent, appear mostly human with no icky rotting flesh, and generally are shadow instead of blood oriented vampires... But she's never had the opportunity to make one, as it would require a willing soul and friend to do, being impossible to achieve with just a soul echo.
Machina Powers: Expert Hacker (she has intense amounts of brute force processing power from her Dead Network), Machina Reanimation, Salvaged/Improvised Machina Weaponry, the Restless Warband, and the Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance, which gets its own entire category.
Machina Reanimation: Cass has mastered how to resurrect Machina. A broken body is not so different from a broken machine. There are parts missing and a lingering will of what those parts were once supposed to achieve. Even the most plain tool has someone who wished it to fulfil a purpose for them. When Cass reanimates Machina, her demonic magic bridges the gaps. If ammunition was missing, demonic projectiles will be fired, in the semblance of what those ammunition once was. Reactors come alive again with cursed flames even with gaping holes in their chambers.
Salvaged/Improvised Machina Weaponry: Like some of heaven(and the machina) uses technological artifacts enhanced with holy magic, Cass often supplements what tech she reanimates or salvages with demonic magic or ingenuity. One simply doesn't use a balista in the modern age unless you've spiced it up with maybe some hellfire or icey alchemical madness. A common thing she uses is Hellfire Lava to replace gasoline, which seems to work wonderfully for the flamethrowers the Restless Warband love.
Restless Warband: Sometimes the Scrapyard is just impractical to bring to the fight. It's slow, it can't turn, and it's really REALLY big. For those times, or to provide picket defense when it is being fielded, Cass turns to the Restless Warband, which is her collection of Undead that seem to just naturally be more enthusiastic about killing than the others, due to their unusually potent soul echoes. But why this is under Machina, is because the Restless Warband crew a fleet of motorcycles, buggies, trucks, and other light vehiculars, garishly retrofited with necromantic and demonic paraphanelia. Basically, undead demon Mad Max warband.

-Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance- Cass has an army of undead networked with her to draw on her mechanical skill, and the boneyards and shipwrecks of an eternal war across an entire dimension to utilize, with her ability to resurrect machines to patch the gaps, and with that she has created the Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance, a hulking monstrocity, being to a battleship what an Abomination is to a human. It is created from mechs, ships, airvessels, trucks, and tanks, hulls welded onto hulls onto hulls, creating an undead mockery of the Machina flagships like the Elicitor or Contender.

While of comparable or even larger size, depending on how rich the hauls have been of late to those vessels, it falls completely short of those in battlefield performance. It is incredibly slow and unmaneuverable, as wheels, legs, and engines, and even an occassional sail of all things, all of mismatched sizes and technological eras, struggle to push it forward. The idea of turning around is nigh laughable. Its armor is composed of scrap from vessels whose armor had already been defeated and deformed by enemy fire, and might have been left around rusting for a millenia or three, and that armor is patchy and unstable, full of weak points where the superstructure of whatever vessel makes this part of the hull couldn't hold much armor. Though, at the same time, it can easily shrug off the losses of huge portions of its structure, as it is more or less of a fleet of resurrected machines welded together rather than a single whole.

Its gun coverage is unreliable and spotty. Its fields of fire are often blocked by wonky parts of its own construction, its weapons mismatched as balista and missile ports stand side by side in the same battery. And, unlike the Machina creations, made as a new whole, none of the salvaged destroyed vessals composing the Insufferable Arrogance bear any weapons worthy of being called anything near the main gun. For a "ship" its size, the Insufferable Arrogance's range is extremely low, bearing the main guns of much smaller things rather than a true proper weapon. But it does have one particular trick. Many of the guns on the Scrapyard are pointed inwards, being on points of the hull of whatever machine was being salvaged into the Scrapyard, that ended up pointing towards the inside of the Scrapyard. Naturally, firing such a gun would normally be a BAD IDEA. However, the Scrapyard has channels inside of it, ensorceled with enchantments, that when activated, gather all the shells and lasers and flame and arrows fired into these inward channels, gathers them at the central part of the ship, hexed into a swirling ball of purplish demonic corruption, which then fires upward and lobs itself at whatever Cass decides needs to die, to shower them in a rain of corrupted munitions. These enchantments take a turn or two of recharging after firing.

All in all, the description of "Mockery" is the most appropriate of the Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance in comparison to the Machina creations it apes. It cannot match them in any metric, defense, offense, or maneuverability. But it is created by a singular Demon's passion, out of the Machina's own failures and losses, to say "Oh look, I can do it too, it's not so hard!" And to someone who is NOT a machina created battleship, the very size of the Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance may be sufficient intimidation to hide the flaws of what is essentially a thousand dilapidated wrecks reanimated and fused into the tortured semblance of a battleship.

Name: Cydone
Title: The Unstoppable Blade
Age: 563
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Angels of Heaven
Race: Angel
Personality:

Relaxed: Cydone doesn't care too much about winning or losing generally, so he doesn't see much at stake.

Enjoys a Good Time: Cydone enjoys a drink and enjoys a fight, and if the opponent's a bit too weak, then maybe he'll do both at the same time to even things up.

Appreciates Zeal: What matters is that you tried your best. Not in a grand cosmic scheme, no, giant space monsters will still crush your face in, but on a personal level.

History: Not the most ancient angel, Cydone's the product of a long family line of warrior angels. These angels, perhaps humorously, follow an ancient style of cowboy dress due to their heirloom weapon passed down along the line. Sometimes clinging to an old style doesn't always look like regal and pristine robes. Cydone's a veteran of relatively few battles, after each defeat secluding himself to train up a counter to his perceived primary weakness.

Or so he says. He often seems to be found in bars while supposedly training. And he doesn't seem to ever come back with a new move. Ah well, such is life in the nexus, where everyone from skeletons to hammers wants a drink.

Powers:
Inertia Manipulation - Cydone's primary power is to manipulate the inertia of objects, capable of rendering it so low that they zip off at incredible speeds if nudged, or so high that it will come apart at a molecular level before they change velocity.

Flight - Wings not included in picture, but let's pretend.

Reflexes - Cydone can move pretty dang fast in a straight line with Inertia Manipulation shenanigans, so he's gotta have the reflexes to keep up with himself and not splat on landing.

Triple Engraved Chakra - Cydone can spend a little bit of life energy and some extra time to make his inertia magic much harder to dispel.

Reality Check - As a mage of the "altering physical laws" type, he's learned to sense when other people are messing with them too. If you're twisting time, space, or such, Cydone'll know. He might not be able to do anything about it, but he'll know.

Heirloom Blade - Cydone wields a revolver gunblade, which is a pretty damn old relic passed down through his family since before the Machina were a meaningful faction and the mechanical implications of electricity were realized, much less robots existed, made by a loyal human retainer as a tithe. Generations of Cydone's family have enhanced this blade when they finally passed on with a more final version of Triple Engraved Chakra. Cydone's really not sure of all the enchantments that are on it*, but it's hard enough that it's never broken when he slammed it against something with maximum inertia, it doesn't need sharpening, it seems to have anti-demon corruption stuff and other general holy magic enhancements, and it's got a nifty trick where it unleashes wind slashes that Cydone can enhance. Making his own ammunition is a bit of a pain though, given how old it is.

Equipment: Plenty of reloads for his revolver, as well as some shuriken and buckshot rounds that he'll explode in his hands for surprise close range shrapnel bursts. He's also got some wire he'll spool around his blade or attach to grapnels for more inertia manipulation shenanigans.







*hint hint this is where new abilities will be added in the future because he's too lazy relaxed to train.

Name: Artoria
Title: Master of the Maniacal Menagerie
Age: 62
Gender: Female
Height: 277 cm.
Allegiance: Demons of Hell
Race: All of them. ALL.
Personality: Demented and obsessed. Artoria has ONE thing she cares about, and that is turning the entire world into cute animal girls.

Artoria has some weaknesses towards people who are already animal girls, but usually not ones of the cute type she is oft to transform people into, perhaps oddly. This seems to also/particularly be the case for snake types.

Artoria seems to swing wildly between cowardice and fearlessness, depending on how badly she wants to transform the particular target she has latched onto.

One thing Artoria has in particular wanted to try is assimilating is the power of the gold and silver eyes. But she hasn't bested any silver or gold eye users in combat yet to use her Khimaira Protarchikos on.

History:

The opening blurb about sums things up. Artoria's life before becoming who she is now is relatively uninteresting and unimporatant. And who she is now is relatively simple, a person who obsessively punches people into cute monster girls, steals their powers, and then runs off, not knowing what to do with someone once's she's finally caught them.

Powers:

Manifest Destiny - It is Artoria's personal mission in life to transform everything into cute animal girls, whether they originally be giant robots or insubstantial energy beings, and her sheer force of unstoppable will has granted her the capacity. Upon inflicting what would otherwise be damage* upon a being, Artoria may instead transform them into a cute animal girl in proportion to the damage they would otherwise do. Machina seem to be particularly vulnerable to this, transforming more than they should based on the rather minimal damage punching a giant robot in the shin should. Angels seem rather resistant. Machina also tend to lose more of their power upon such transformation, as they tend to lose a lot of important techno-gear when they cease to be a robot and become flesh and blood, while Angels are frequently already animal people and all their powers still work upon transforming.
*this ability also causes attacks to be treated as type appropriate before considering whether they would do damage. Ghosts, pure energy beings, and immaterial concepts can all be punched into cute animal girl-ness by Artoria's reality warping obsession.

Khimaira Protarchikos - Artoria proved a far more potent Chimera than many many other experiments by Hohenheim, seemingly through sheer will and spiritual compatibility, because her initial physical form was entirely lackluster and ordinary before transformation into a Chimera. Artoria seems to be absolutely insatiable in her ability to assimilate new forms and powers simply by witnessing them, activating them on or off at will with shapeshifting. Even such legendary beings as dragons and the Leviathan don't seem to even require her to stretch her capacity. Of course, for some reason, they seem to have to be in animal forms that Artoria finds cute before she can steal abilities from them, with the odd exception of the Leviathan.

Equipment: No.

Name: Miyu
Title: Honorless Blade, Knight Errant, Yamauchi
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Angels of Heaven
Race: Angel
Personality: Curious. Driven. Outspoken. Humanophile? Demonophile?

Personality Evolution:

Curiosity: The reason why she loves engineering and machina and meeting new people. With her Angel Loyalty, Drive, and other stats at lows, that's why one of the first things she did when she got to Hoho's castle was to try and science out how the edge of the Nexus and other things worked. But that got stopped immediately.

Loves Attention: Of pretty nearly any kind. The primary reason she likes Henry is because Henry has frequently paid attention to her. Despite that attention being that of an obsessive desire to make her a possession without any consideration to her own feelings. And when Juno and Dora basically told her "stop whining and fight", despite that being appropriate, Miyu nonetheless felt like they weren't paying any attention to her or her problems, which was another hit against her Angel Loyalty stat. Similarly, when Deva granted her a gift that seemed inappropriate to the situation, it felt to Miyu like Deva wasn't really paying attention (and to be honest, she's probably got a ton of calls to take) and just threw a power up at her to try and make the problem go away and stop bothering her.

Loyalty to the Angels: This used to be really strong, but it's taken huge hits from the conversations with Iona, Deva, Juno and Dora. It's still there, but it's hanging by a thread.

Drive to Win: At first, she was fresh off battles where she was a big fish in the small pond and was really making a difference. And then in the following battles, she was absolutely crushed in succession and was arguably more harmful to the angels than to anyone else (her one point capture destroyed half the angelic forces, and while she took out demon grunts, she also bombed Alt Signia). She started to feel like a coward first for how she wasn't willing to kill herself to avoid capture, and then second how she wasn't willing to let herself be captured to help the angels. So, her self-confidence and drive were at a low, so she tried to cheer herself up by throwing a party and playing to her "Sees Good in Everyone" stat. And while asking Iona for gift ideas.. Iona told her that the war is designed to be an endless battle for the amusement of mysterious beings with no escape and that peace even through victory is impossible by design. (Now, that may not be the message Iona meant to communicate, but it's what Miyu understood, and when Miyu repeated it back to make sure she didn't mishear, Iona didn't correct her, so she assumes that's the truth.) That hit her loyalty to the Angels pretty hard and absolutely crushed her drive to win. She feels worthless and that her contributions are meaningless.

Sees Good in Everyone: Miyu likes Balrog, and thinks he's a nice guy. BALROG. She thinks his violent destructed tendencies make sense in a world where people come back from the dead, and that he directs his anger at valid opponents, but was a remarkably good friend to his allies. Miyu likes people, and wants to see the best in them, and to see them succeed (and have them pay attention to her). Her desire for peace springs from this. A lot of her drive comes from the thought that winning the war for the Angels would bring about the best form of peace. Now with what Iona said, that seems impossible, and that angelic high command doesn't deserve to win if they've been supporting a meaningless war.

Revolver Ocelot Syndrome: Miyu betrays people, things, and herself. This is not a natural part of her personality with ebbs and flows and reasons like the others. It just is there, a compulsion that she doesn't even realize. On a smaller scale, her fighting style is all about trickery. On a larger scale, even with how Miyu was starting to like Henry, she would have still betrayed him, even if her loyalty wasn't to the angels.

In summary: She's nearly but not quite lost her loyalty to the angels, her drive to win has been utterly crushed, seeing the good in everyone seems impossible, no one's paying attention to her (in Miyu's self-absorbed mind), and Juno punished her for trying to indulge her curiosity. She's running on a scrap of loyalty and Revolver Ocelot Syndrome. That's all she got left.

History: The event that changed the course of destiny of Miyu from a low ranking noble of a family that long since lost its warrior blood to a lonely blade anathema to her own people, was not some great betrayal, or tragic death, or even inspiring mentor. It was when she saw a shiny piece of glass, fallen on the street of a human world, and tried looking through it. She could read letters from far away! She was nearsighted.

This little thing trickled down, changing her perspective and world. This little invention allowed her to finally see the world clearly, but her parents did not allow it to her for the sake of pride. A nearsighted angel? Miyu saw this as folly. Weren't her swords a tool, because she didn't have claws? Armor because she lacked scales? Where should the line be drawn between a righteous tool and unrighteous? Her family was weak and getting weaker, but they refused to innovate or adapt, for honor and pride.

That would not be her, Miyu resolved. Miyu frequented human worlds in secret, easily passing for human with the addition of a cloak (ok, she may have restricted her visits to costume festivals), and acquiring her most previous possession, her glasses. She learned something of human ways, and found many aspects admirable. As evidenced by her picture, she is still not a complete master of human clothing.

It was in a later battle against the Machina of Man that the final change took place, though her decision had long since been made. The numerically inferior garrison-quality force of an unimportant world dealt absurd casualties to a supposedly superior angelic host. Lack of willingness to adapt to enemy tactics and the enormous disparity of equipment allowed what should have been a decisive victory to become a Pyrrhic one. When fiefs were awarded to the noble houses participating in the assault, Miyu took for her own a smog drenched industrial holding that none of the others wanted. Because inside it was a factory for the Daimyo V Battlesuit. Even without workers or further supplies, the resources already there would allow Miyu to equip herself for quite some time, as she was a lone soldier and not a regiment.

Adopting the ways of war of the Machina was not without political repercussions. Miyu lost her family name, was dismissed from her unit, and generally an absolute outcast of angel society. But she is still determined to prove the worth of technology, roaming hopeless battlefields and saving or turning the tide when angelic commanders have no hope but to call on any and all assistance to win the battle.

Daimyo V Battlesuit: That's a V, not a roman numeral five. It also looks like this.

As you might note from the combined facts of "no wings" and "angel legs don't bend like that" this is less of a suit of armor than a piloted mech, being 16 feet tall, Miyu piloting from the chest of the mech.

Apart from a standard-grade hyperedge blade, the Daimyo V is loaded entirely with defensive measures. Heavy armor plating protects the Daimyo V from most attacks, the heavily armored shoulder and back pads easily capable of tanking airstrike and artillery rounds. There are some vulnerabilities from below in the heavy armor, the back pads are shielding exhaust vents for the primary reactor. Numerous micro-missile anti-missile systems are secreted about the Daimyo, their detection systems are mostly effective when given a specific arc or target to defend against. They can also be placed on anti-infantry, but are not terribly effective. However, most importantly, is the AEGIS VII (that is a Roman Numeral this time) shield system. The Daimyo V has no energy weapons or flight systems, allowing it to spend exorbitant amounts of energy on its shields, proportional to its size. When all shield power is focused on a single arc, it provides nigh-invulnerability against weapons of the Daimyo V's weight and tech class, and the front arc is even stronger than any other arc. One weakness to this system is that, while the back and rear shield projectors are shielded under the heavily armored pad and smaller, the front arc shield projector is vulnerable (see that green orb?). While it's not a super "shoot here you win" weakpoint, it is a "shoot here and the front arc is sans shields".

Unfortunately for Miyu, the Daimyo V, while a fine piece of technology, is not some super wonder prototype with performance off the scale. It's a mass production model, albeit, a quality one.

Mantle of Unconquerable Sun: A basic angelic spell of shielding your weapons and armor from demonic and other magical influence. No amount of magic resistance is very useful if your opponent can turn your armor into an iron maiden or phase right through your weapon. Low level angels like Miyu who often have to make do with less mystical or legendary weapons must learn spells to provide their weapons and armor impromptu enchantments. Given Miyu's armament... She has taken this spell above and beyond the scale it was originally intended for, though the strength has suffered somewhat, the Daimyo V still vulnerable to mystical assault, though more resilient than normal Machina. Her specialization and effort has afforded her much more skill in it than most other angels of her class, though, and unlocked another effect, that of "unifying" the armor and weapon. Armor piercing attacks have their penetration power nullified as the impact is diffusely spread across the armor, and the Daimyo V's blade can clash edge on edge or strike heavy armor without blunting. This obviously doesn't do anything to attacks that are already diffuse, like explosions. This spell combines quite well with the naturally defensive Daimyo V to make Miyu irritatingly difficult to put down for normal troops on the battle field.

Mantle of Unconquerable Sun has had... weird interactions with the Daimyo V's AEGIS VII shield systems. Several attempts at getting them to work together has resulted in both the spell and shield failing in a very showy explosion of light mana and shield shards. Miyu feels like she's close to unlocking some sort of offensive ability that relies on this interaction, and she could use it as a kind of impromptu holy frag grenade, but it seems very weak for the cost of causing both the AEGIS VII and Mantle of Unconquerable Sun to burn out for a few minutes, leaving the large target of the Daimyo V critically vulnerable to armor penetrating attacks. For now, Miyu uses the Mantle of Unconquerable Sun only on the direct components of the Daimyo V.

Miyu's also gotten pretty good at feint swordsmanship. Many of her hardest opponents have outclassed the Diamyo V two to one or worse in agility due to their smaller size, leaving her with only the option of tricking them into a premature dodge if she wants to land a hit.

Weapons: Outside of her mech, she has two blades. Also a pistol she's still learning the hang of. While military grade, these are not anything special otherwise.
Equipment: Glasses. Very important.
Other: Favorite Quote: 'Yea, and though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am driving a house sized mass of fuck you.'

Specialty: Reflexes (Kitty Totem)
Weapons: Spear, bolt action light anti-material rifle (think a sawn off scopeless sniper rifle for medium range)

Name: Atarah
Title: Has not earned one. (Ruxen's Annoyance?)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Hell
Race: Dodo Harpy Demon

Personality: Atarah has three primary loves.
Serah, her one companion and friend, through everything she has been through. Even if Serah never actually says anything and just looks around with her googly eyes. If Serah was at risk, Atarah would be putty in the hands of whoever held Serah. No matter how much Atarah says she wants to be the best, and prove herself, and that she's an independent birb who don't need nobody, especially stupid other harpies, she still couldn't bear to be parted with Serah.

Maximum Effort, a fight's not a real fight unless you're giving it your all! Atarah knows she's not strong enough to be taken seriously by the Nexus, practically nameless. But that's only who she is today. She has faith that she'll burst through her limitations and show the world the power of her effort. She just knows someday she'll be taken seriously, and have a cool title that people will whisper to themselves in fear as she dramatically strides into the room.. Oh, wouldn't that be lovely?

Flight, no matter how much she pretends she's fine how she is and proud of her body, the fact that she can't fly in the skies burns in her heart. She has plenty of nightmares of finally being able to fly, only to suddenly fall.

History: Born and raised in captivity, Atarah was a slave who, unlike the rest of her kin, could not fly to try and escape the harshest punishments of their masters. She could only crawl in the dust and hope it would hide her. When she saw their feared masters, she could not help but feel jealous of the fear they inspired in her? Wasn't she like that? Between her flightlessness and her desire to be like the demons who enslaved them, Atarah wasn't exactly good at making friends with the other harpies, but she made one, Serah. Serah had tasted the freedom of the sky, but had her wings clipped after her first attempt at escape. Together, they tried to survive. But they didn't. Serah died.

Rather than having faith in some stupid male harpy who was supposed to be so great and save them, or some Deva who was supposed to take care of everyone who prayed to her (fat load of good that had done Serah), Atarah was determined to climb her way up in the nexus. She voluntarily joined the "foreign legion" of slaves who were used as cannon fodder in battle. She was not as good as she thought she was. Amidst the broken bodies of the damned, Atarah barely kept her mouth above the river of blood. Machina artilery and weapons had literally materialized out of thin air and light and pounded the slaves into the dirt, to clear the field of those who were not real fighters.

While not as strong or great as she thought she was, she was still stronger than those other slaves by sheer determination and she rose from the corpses after the battle had passed over her. Only to hear a little squeak. Turning her head, she found a little bouncy ball of a demon struggling to keep its head above blood level. It had apparently been shielded from the blasts by the body of an emaciated dragon that had served as a mount for the fortunately ill-fated "sergant" of the slaves. Unable to pass by the only other survivor of the group, Atarah took in the little googly eyed squeeking thing. She presumed it was some kind of demon, as it had demonic energies. And she named it Serah.

When Syphax "rescued" all the harpies by sheer luck, Atarah was enraged. Serah hadn't come with her. Tearing towards the demonic lands as soon as she was back in heaven, Atarah did not stop until she had clawed her way back into hell and found Serah again. She swore they'd never be apart again, and was so sorry that those mean angels had stolen Atarah away from Serah. She'd show those stupid harpies what she thought of anyone who would tear Atarah away from her REAL family.

Powers:

Soft Shadow Style- This "creatively" named style is Atarah's anti-Hard Light and Nanomachine technique. These constructs are machina staples, and Atarah has trained specifically to be be able to punch through them. She sends out a pulse of demonic energy which corrupts nanomachine code, and creates and marks weakpoints in hard light. Upon then hitting with another attack, this style shoots energy through the fracture points of an impact with a weakpoint, disrupting hard light into regular light. Against other stuff, it just lets Atarah know where her targets are after she lets out a pulse.

Serah, the Earthshaker Lance- A tiny little bouncy ball of a demon, Serah is capable of transforming into a earth moving lance, capable of causing localized "earthquakes" (with video game physics), burrowing through the ground with rapid speed, and small scale earth manipulation apart from those specific applications. But most of the time she just nestles in Atarah's cozy chest feathers, as any sort of extended exertion is beyond the baby demon(?).

Rare Earth Skin- Atarah's skin and feathers are pretty brutally tough, and not just physically, but also possessing demonic energy fields that work via corrupted magical magnetics to deflect or diffuse metal and laser based attacks (as long as holy magic is not involved). Unfortunately makes her vulnerable to magnetic fields in return, and she has accidentally deflected herself right off a machina airship when she wasn't paying attention. Just another way in which the Nexus, for all the gifts it has granted her, refuses to let her fly. She developed this power after Serah started nestling in her feathers, and it seems to be getting stronger all the time.

Maximum Effort- Dime a dozen physical boost at the cost of energy/life limit ability. Atarah really wants to win, and she's willing to put her body beyond her limits to achieve that.

To go even Further- Atarah's true power is to able to steal extreme effort. She thrives off people pushing themselves past their limits, including herself, a psychological obsession that has manifested a latent reality warping power. When someone uses an ability that has a significant stamina, reserve, charge up time, or life or what have you cost, such as Maximum Effort, Atarah spontaneously gains stamina/life/excetera equal to half of the resource spent. This doesn't do anything against normal attacks or such, only abilities that truly push someone past their limits. Thanks to how math works, this doubles the duration or power (depending on how Atarah allocates her power) of Maximum Effort. Which could be truly frightening if she was a powerful race instead of a harpy. Instead it just kinda maybe sorta gets her on par.

Name: Levi Gerr
Title: The Swift
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Allegiance: The Machina of Man
Race: Human
Height: 5'6
Personality: Cold and Calculating
History: Levi's entire family was killed by a Demon, and though he knows our machines are weak against them, he believes in slaughtering all of them. As a kid, he exercised quite a lot, running through the cities, astonished at the great machinery and architecture. Him and his brother had always planned to join the war, but when his brother was killed, Levi was even more determined. Most of the time he doesn't care what they say about the Angels, his enemies are the Demons. His parents had taught him how to fight when they learned of his desire(this was before they died, of course.)and they did it quite well, seeing as Levi's father was a soldier.
Powers: Levi is astonishingly fast, not quite to a superhuman degree, but not too far from it. While many would think he uses it to flee his enemies, he uses it to fight them, running circles around them and dodging to an extraordinary degree. As well as using it to make quick jabs with his spear, weakening them to the point where he can make the final blow.
Weapons: A spear, that he made specifically to grow accustomed to his speed. It has a small, hard blade, but in the thick of battle it is very useful.
Equipment: Steel-toed boots, and a short black cloak.
Appearance: Levi has short, black hair, with pale skin. He has a lean body frame, as he is athletic, and works out frequently. Surprisingly, his legs are not very long. He has a scar by his lower lip, after the encounter with the demon. He wears a black button-up, with grey jeans

Name: Sabium Flos, "The Flower of Death"
Title: Frontline Captain
Age: About 75
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Heaven
Race: Fallen Angel
Height: 7ft

Personality: The decades of war have worn down Flos. Entering as someone wanting to end the fires of war, now stuck in a never-ending cycle of death and killing. The war has made him stoic, narrow minded, calm, and sometimes arrogant in his speech. His fights against his enemies has become routine to him, and while he clamours for a challenge to change the monotony of the war, he is fine dealing with wave after wave of enemies in order to at least maintain the status quo. His deep voice continuously portrays that of tiredness and grit, with a hint of determination. He has become tired, and sometimes feels disillusioned by the Imperator's orders and motives.

History: Flos entered the war after a disastrous operation that captured his sworn brother, hoping to breach the gates of hell and rescue him from what he imagined to be a never ending nightmare. He immediately took to the frontlines, demanding he take part in the charges that would possibly bring him closer and closer to his end goal.

Over the years the constant cycle of death and a fluctuating frontline has taught the angel that there is a possibility that he may never be reunited with whom he previously held dear. Demanding that he try to sneak into Hell itself, it was rejected instantly due to the potential dangers another prisoner could do to the Angels of Heaven. Ignoring the demand to maintain a defence, Flos instead took to the field and placed himself deep behind enemy lines, where he fought for several days against the race he hated, and the machines who though themselves higher than what they were. Flos continued fighting for what felt like several months, not stopping, still killing, and infusing the lessons and equipment he got into his own arsenal.

The fighting came to a conclusion when the frontline finally arrived to Flos' location, though the angel they saw was very different to who they previously saw. The bloodlust and the continuous combat spread doubt into the relative young angels mind, and thus started feeling alienated from those who he previous considered masters at their craft. His wings turned black, and the fusion of everything he learned and gained made him a black sheep of the pack.

Despite this, the fight he put on gained him a nickname that spread throughout the field, the Flower of Death, and those who encounter the fallen angel will likely seek death.

Powers: Slash - The power requires Final Gaze. It allows the angel to send out a wave that would cut through enemies, providing that they are caught in the deadly but narrow effect. Unfortunately it requires a noticeable buildup that brightens up Final Gaze before firing. The longer the buildup, the more damage the slash causes.

Shockwave - Like the slash, a power that Flos requires Final Gaze for. It involves a shockwave being emitted from the blade and requires such a buildup. The wave can blast enemies away from the source, and depending on it's charge up can cause significant damage to foes.

Shield - Developed from his experience fighting the Machina during his slaughter. The combination of lower technology and the power of the fallen angel. Raising his left arm activates the shield, which allows the angel to not actively focus on the ability, with the side effect feeling like he is carrying a heavy load.

Control - During the continuous fight Flos took part in, he learned how to control lesser thralls which would put a strain on his mind everytime he would use it, due to it's demonic origins. The power only effects weaker minded demons, and commonly leads to Flos getting exhausted.

Weapons: Final Gaze - A bastard-sword length angelic weapon that is used as his primary weapon against foes. While out of combat it is kept hidden, but when a one-on-one counter is inevitable, or should Flos need to utilise it against a horde of enemies, it will materialise. The white haze that leaks from the sword shows what side it is on, in contrast to the black haze that Flos reeks of.

The Sisters - A pair of miniature scythes on Flos' person. He normally wields one of the two since his dominant hand is focused on his primary weapon, but does wield the other when it comes to close quarters combat.

Equipment: Black Wings - Self explanatory.
