Name:Kaiser (female)
Age: Somewhere in their mid-to-late teens.
Appearance:Although most commonly seen wearing
Kaiser's armour, the warrior of the Nova, beneath the intimidating shell of steel, appears no different from a tall, fit and muscular young Nova woman. With powerful scaly wings, a tail, and two small horns, she is visibly more or less 'just a girl', a trait that utterly fails to convey itself through her armour. Her eyes are a striking blue, a darker shade that her short, cropped hair. However, said hair has been dyed a bright orange to emphasise her cheery outlook on life, and an easy grin is always present on her pale skin. Her casual outfits vary, including a school uniform blouse that she acquired during a former extradimensional adventure, but she tends to prefer either her
traditional training garb, or a tanktop, shorts and runners (a clothing style she's nabbed from humans).
World of Origin:Pantheon, Grandis (MapleStory)
Powers/Equipment: As not only a member of the draconic Nova race, but as a legendary warrior and Hero of the Nova, Kaiser is in possession of
great physical and magical abilities, the unique physiology of her people blending with the ancient blessings of the Dragon Gods to provide her with immense constitution and stamina, remarkable durability, and terrifying strength that is capable of wielding even the heaviest of broadswords with a mere one arm. A passive, constantly-acting regeneration effect is innate to her, even able to take effect in the midst of battle, slowly healing her wounds until the point where she is in perfect health. Each and every blow she delivers is naturally infused with her inner fire, turning her sword swings into tornadoes of flame. Powers befitting the knight that acted as the vanguard of the Nova reclamation of their homeworld, but what truly makes her dangerous is her magic.
Like all tailed Nova, the Kaiser is capable of utilising magic at the cost of draining energy from an inner pool of mana, one that only recovers through either the use of potions, rest, or other esoteric abilities. As a legendary warrior, her reserves are far greater than the average member of her race, and a certain trait unique to her has slightly reduced the time required for her to recuperate if she is lacking in mana. However, even with the benefits of being a hero, her mana still takes time to recover, and continued use of her magical skills, especially in the heat of battle, will deplete it to zero, where she will be utterly unable to use any magic.
Many of her powers lie over the domain of fire, but she is also capable of expending her mana on certain spells to "buff" herself up, and in some cases even allies. As the Kaiser, she can summon blades from the aether to strike foes, and her wings are powerful enough to generate magical tornadoes when strongly beat. However, the most prominent of her abilities would likely be her "Final Figuration": as she fights for longer and longer, a strange energy builds up within her, one that is indicated by the increasing size of her wings, and will grow in power relative to the build-up; when the energy reaches its maximum, however, she can choose to enter her "Final Figuration", transforming into a black-and-gold, larger and more frightening version of her armour, a juggernaut that is also capable of short-distance teleportation. Despite this increase in power, she will return to her original form after three minutes, losing all of the energy that has been built up.
She also owns a grappling hook, and makes use of a powerful, two-handed broadsword, a gleaming crimson and gold, known as the Liberated Kaiserium (although out of respect for her predecessor, at times chooses the black and silver Kaiserion, a weaker blade, instead as her weapon of choice).
Brief Backstory:Once, there was a legendary warrior known as Kaiser, who served as a hero and guardian of the draconic Nova race and their homeworld of Grandis. They lived in peace and harmony in their capital city, Heliseum, under his protection, until an exiled warrior of theirs, the warlord Magnus, aligned himself with forces of darkness from another world and invaded their cities. While the Kaiser fought as valiantly as he could, he was poisoned by the traitor, and he was left with no other choice but to sacrifice himself in order to stop the armies of the dark Nova in order to save his people. Yet in the end, Magnus survived, stealing Kaiser's legendary sword. Heliseum still fell to his forces, and the people of the Nova were forced to evacuate to their temple city, Pantheon, where they bid in waiting for the day they could reclaim their capital.
Fast forward centuries, and Magnus' armies stirred once more, laying siege to Pantheon in an attempt to finally bring the people of Nova under his rule. Yet they had failed to expect Kaiser's successor, a young, foolish girl who fended off their assault with her inherited powers. Although inexperienced at first, the girl soon partook in many quests and missions, growing from strength to strength in her new role and blazing new paths for her people. It was her who helped establish diplomatic relations with human otherworlders, and it was her who single-handedly served as the vanguard for the liberation of Heliseum, doing what her predecessor could not and killing Magnus, reclaiming her rightful blade.
She may be young, but her experiences can rarely be dwarfed in their number.
Personality:The previous Kaiser was a paragon of heroism, a noble warrior who showed nothing but love and compassion for his people and his home, dutifully serving as a guardian of their peace and prosperity. He was a true knight, professional in every way and loyal to his cause. Even when betrayed by someone he once viewed as a brother and left a shade of his true power by poison, he chose to sacrifice his own life to protect the Nova, fighting to the bitter end against his enemies and stalling their advance long enough for his people to escape a horrible conquest. He was brave and just, a man who all of his men respected.
His successor, on the other hand, turned out to be a clueless, impulsive tomboy with an ego larger than the size of her "awesome Kaiser powers" and "dragon muscles". A girl with a strong tendency for self-aggrandisement, the new Kaiser had an arrogance to her, the powerful self-confidence and exuberance she initially possessed prior to inheriting the role magnified by her greater prestige. She was overly idealistic, viewing herself as entirely capable to bring about peace to Grandis and reclaim Heliseum, and frequently butted heads with others due to her stubborn streak. Coupled with her blunt nature, innocent insensitivity, and general inability to get through a conversation without praising herself, she was the very image of a child given great power, and just as obnoxious.
However, as time passed, the young Nova girl had changed for the better, growing closer and closer to being a worthy successor to the former Kaiser. Although her unbreakable self-confidence was still present, she had managed to temper her ego (which still didn't prevent her from at times praising herself), becoming far more aware of her limitations and flaws. As a commander on the frontlines, her self-assured confidence and outgoing nature developed into a strange charisma, one that seemed to draw others to her. She was still not particularly tactful, and was especially dense to anything outside of fighting (particularly girlish pursuits, which earned her the ire of her closest friend), but she was a cheery, 'spunky' fellow, always able to prattle on about anything with others. She was loyal, almost idiotically so, but it did much to earn her the friendship of her men.
That is not to say, however, that the Kaiser is unintelligent (although she can admittedly be quite ignorant and 'book-dumb'). Far from it; underneath the layers of 'clueless tomboy', she is actually surprisingly skilled in commanding, capable of strategizing on the fly and ensuring success on the field of battle (although admittedly, she left much of the general strategy plans to her superiors, preferring to act as more or less a wrecking ball to overwhelm enemies with her sheer power), and is also in possession of remarkable eloquence and oratory skills (only when talking to armies). While an incredibly casual speaker in any other context, any time she was required to make a speech, she would reveal depths that one wouldn't expect of someone like her.
In fact, she tends to portray the image of a battle-hungry warrior, someone who lives enthusiastically for battle, throwing herself into hordes of enemies for the thrill of the fight. She enjoys 'smashing' people, and will impulsively attack anyone who reveals themselves to be a foe. Energetic is one of the best descriptors for her personality, and people frequently cite her hamminess as an example of it.
She's still rather immature, though.
Other:After everything she's gone through on both Grandis, the Maple World and every other connected dimension, she's pretty used to being teleported away from home to do some strange quest (although her perspective of a quest usually involves killing thousands of wild animals for their meat).
