With the IC stuff about to kick off, it's important for everyone to be on the same page about how I will be running this particular RP thread! As most of you will have noticed by now, I'm a big fan of ordered things, so there will be a generally recurring set of things that will be cropping up in my posts that I figure I should lay out here to make sure everyone is clear on what is going on.



In order to avoid the cardinal sin of doubleposting as much as possible, I will be dividing my mod posts up into segments. The first segment will be the actions of NPC's and environmental effects that affect the members of the Harpy's Guild team. The second segment will be the same for the Golem's Hand team. Finally, the third segment will be the actions and perspective of Illedrith. At the top of these three segments will occasionally be an OOC instructions section which directly pertains to the contents of the post. This might contain information about which characters are visible to which other characters, which characters are in the position to potentially find an object that they're looking for, any special information that might be available to one or more of the characters, etc.

I hope to be progressing the story by making NPC action posts at least once every couple of days, but obviously if nothing has happened for one of the guild teams, their segment will be omitted. I will also be attempting to wait until all characters who are actively involved in the scene have had a reasonable chance to respond and act before I post up the next NPC post for their group. This will mean occasionally just writing NPC posts for one group or the other in isolation, but hopefully we'll be going at a reasonable enough pace that I can just group it all together for ease of reference.

From a formatting perspective, a solid horizontal line in the middle of a segment represents that the time, place, and active NPC group have changed. A dotted horizontal line means that the time and/or place has changed but it's still the same NPCs. A line of tildes (~) means that the time and place have not changed, but the active NPC group has changed. Any further recurring notes for this will be added to this post (which will be added as a hider to the first post in the OOC tab).



In character creation I mentioned that I would be explaining how traps work. Well, here I will be explaining that as well as a bunch of other mechanics that I'll be using to shape how the story goes and make sure that there's a reasonable amount of challenge and equality for all characters as they go about their travels in Fiore.

Traps: Everyone's character is a wonderful, observant, fantastic trap spotter if given the chance. Unfortunately that's boring as hell and also unrealistic, since everyone's character is also a wonderful, stealthy genius who can make a bear trap look like a small puddle. As such, here is how traps work: if your party is walking into an area where they absolutely know there will be traps, such as them actively hunting a person who they know uses traps, and who they know is aware they're after them, then you can potentially spot all the traps and avoid them. The same goes if you're in a place where you would usually consider searching for traps (dungeons, ruins, the houses of wealthy people etc.). If one of these conditions is not met, and someone has in fact set up traps, at least one of you is going to get hit by a trap. I will ask the team leader what the marching order of the group is, and then let the players know that in their posts they're going to stumble into a trap that they didn't see. It's then up to them to deal with how that works in their post.

As such, if you're a character with traps and you're planning on trapping an area, let me know in advance so that I can make any requisite preparations for it. Of course, once someone has set off your first trap, they're much less likely to get caught by a second or third one, but they then simply become obstacles for you to potentially use to your advantage in combat (knocking people back into them, making your enemies take tactically disadvantageous fights to avoid the traps, etc).

Object Hunts and Stealth: Similar to traps, hidden objects and hidden people are difficult to fairly adjudicate without dice and stats, so unless the story calls for something specific, the following will apply: A hidden character is impossible to find unless a) your group has a reason to suspect that someone is hidden nearby, b) you are actively looking for them, and c) you have a general idea of where they will be. There may be situational times where this will not apply, but that will be at the discretion of the relevant parties or for the purposes of advancing the story.

For both finding hidden individuals and objects, having fulfilled the three requirements, I will put in the OOC section of the post which characters in the group are able to find the object or person, and whether or not there will be any specific reactions or effects when they do eventually find it. This list will be pseudo-arbitrary based on where people are looking and whether they have specific skills that would help with searching.

GM Combat Text: On rare occasion, I may be required to exercise my GM powers to make some overarching decisions in fight scenes that to some extent will impinge on your pseudo-inviolable right to absolute control over your characters. This can be for story purposes, to make the fight more interesting, or simply because you've been 'A Bad' and have been abusing the leniency in the written text form and haven't been giving your opponent's attacks the respect that they deserve. The more epic (and by epic I mean close, and interesting, not an epic curbstomp unless you're overpowering complete mooks) you make your fights, and the better you respect the skills and attacks of your opponent (whether PC or NPC), the less I will need to intervene with these powers; optimally I won't have to use them at all!

They work as follows. When describing an action, if I deem that the way it needs to be interacted with is special, I will colour the action text a certain way. If it is a named attack, I will simply colour the attack name. If it's something else, like an environmental effect, physical attack, or anything which falls outside an easily named event, I will colour the part of the action that needs to be reacted to instead. For example:

'...the gathered power in his hands suddenly burst forth and ravaged the area in front of him. "[Ravaging Shockwave]!!! Fall before my might!"...'

'...the explosions triggered a huge collapse further up the mountain, bringing down an immense cascade of snow and rock onto the heads of the collected Harpies.'

The colours mean the following:
Blue means that this is an exceptionally powerful attack, and should be treated as if it is as powerful as your trump card. React to it as you would want your own most powerful spells to be reacted to, because that might just happen.

Red means that if you are the target, or in the path of this attack or event, it will hit you. Whether by skill or happenstance, this attack lands some level of damage on your person, proportional to how well equipped you are to handle it. Other than the requirement that it lands some level of damage, there are no further stipulations on this; how severe the damage, and how your character handles it are entirely up to you.

Purple is a rare combination of the two above colours. It will be almost exclusively reserved for important fights with powerful NPCs, and represents a powerful, undodgable attack. This will typically be the point in a traditional Fairy Tail fight which is the turning point before the true heroics and underdog fights happen.

Finally, and most rare of all are Gold events. Whether for story reasons or personal reasons, a this attack will have a certain set of people it's targeted at, and it will without question remove them from the fight. Depending on the situation this could be anything from knocking them unconscious, to trapping them completely in ice, to teleporting them far far away from the fight, all the way up to complete molecular disintegration. It is important to note here that unless you have previously had discussions with me and approved of it, I will never put your characters in a place where they must permanently die, have faith that there will always be an out if you want to keep them alive. If you are planning on having your character die, do send me a PM asking about how I tend to have death scenes play out, because during them you gain essentially executive power over all NPCs to play out the death as you see fit.

I shall at this point reiterate that these will hopefully not have to be used often, if at all! If we're all on the same page about what makes writing, reading, and being part of a story entertaining, I won't need to be intervening at all because you'll all be treating the NPCs and each others characters with the respect they deserve, and we'll have super kickass fights because of it.

If you have concerns or issues with this, please do tell me and don't feel concerned that I will be displeased! As I've expressed to some people here already, it's important that you make your opinions about my decisions clear, so that I ensure that I'm taking the thread in a direction which my players are happy with! No question or concern is too minor or too silly for my inbox if you feel it's important to you.



Just a quick section as a reminder to you all about what I'm expecting when it comes to post quality, content, and frequency. I'd like most of your posts to be at least two paragraphs long, with a hard minimum of at least a paragraph per post. See my expectations and guidelines on the first page for specifics of what I would expect to be present and absent in your posts.

As for frequency, I will be aiming to progress the NPC storyline at least once every 1-2 days, but that means that all individuals who are actively part of the scene (part of the conversation or in combat with the NPCs, or otherwise performing an action that needs moderation) need to be reasonably on the ball when it comes to ensuring that they have their posts in on time. If you don't have time due to life getting in the way, I totally understand, just please let us know in advance if possible so that we can write around you and you can rejoin when you're able! This also extends to just letting us know to move on without you if it's been a couple of days and you're not going to be able to post up in time. Just catch up when you can in the aftermath, but please don't make the rest of your team wait around for you to post if you aren't able to make a post in time.

Other than that, please do stay in touch with me for anything that you'd like to happen to or for your character. If there are particular NPC interactions that you'd like to happen, or you have a storyline from the backstory of your character that you'd actually like to introduce partially or completely into the main storyline of the thread (I know there are a couple of you already), please do tell me if there is a good time for it to happen. I'm always open to having some of the nameless, faceless NPCs that will populate some of the jobs become integral parts of your backstory that you can interact with as a side-quest that runs along with the actual job.

On a similar vein, if you have any suggestions for the general story of the thread, I'm also certainly open to those as well, feel free to just send me a PM whenever and we can have a chat about your ideas, and whether they'll fit with the overarching plot that I'm planning!

Finally, I'll reiterate that if you have any queries, concerns, or issues with anything (this post included), or have any themes that you can see coming that you would rather avoid having to interact with for any reason, I consider it an integral part of our relationship as GM and Player that you feel comfortable raising them with me. If you feel that I have failed in this regard, feel absolutely free to have a chat with one or more of the other players who might be able to help sort out the issues at hand, and hopefully we can ensure that everything is cleared up and sorted out; I am human and will make mistakes, and it will be up to you all as a collective to let me know where I have gone wrong and hold me accountable to make them right!

I look forward to roleplaying with all of you!

Ceri is a rather diminutive, unassuming girl. Standing roughly at 5'3". Most of her appearance is hidden under her robe, which she never seems to ever take off. What people can see, however, is locks of pure white hair, a pair of bright blue eyes and every so often a flash of pale skin.

"A-ah! sorry. I-I'm not really...that good at talking, but if you don't mind...could we?"



Name::
Ceri

Nickname/Alias::
N/A

Gender::
Female

Age and date of birth::
17, 30th of December, supposedly.

Guild::
Harpy's wing, guild mark is located on her left palm and is black in color.

Rank::
B



Personality::
Ceri tries. She honestly does. Unfortunately, her timid nature and tendency to flee, and her massive amount of self-doubt really doesn't help. Running is first nature to her. Fighting hardly ever even crosses her mind, unless she absolutely must or is backed into a corner where she can not run. You know what they say. Never corner a frightened animal - she is quite adept at magic and will use it to her full advantage, if she must.

As far as others goes, she is about as friendly as they come, though her social anxiety can become somewhat detrimental to social interactions. She has had very little dealings with other people in the past, aside from her 'father' - who always taught her to be wary of others. Somewhere along the line, this turned into fear of others in general. Still, she tries to be friendly, and get along with others, and remain positive despite her shortcomings.

However, she does have a rather...darker side if pushed too far or if she becomes stressed. Often times, she internalizes a lot of sarcastic comments and snark and colorful language. Even she has a limit.

History::
Ceri never knew her parents, where she actually comes from, or the real identity of the man who raised her. Her earliest memories are simply of waking up in a bed in his lab. She was just a child then, barely over the age of five. He said he found her unconscious in the forest, and brought her here. Whatever happened there, she can't remember and if he had some part in it, he never told her. Instead, he took her in as his own and taught her magic - though it was mostly out of his own self interest. He needed someone to run to town and who was adept at magic other than him to make sure his research wasn't discovered.

Their relationship was cool at best. He treated her civilly and fairly, and raised her to the best of his abilities. Some might say he didn't care for her at all, and she was just a tool, a pawn. Whether it is true or not, doesn't matter. She worked hard, studied magic hard, and generally did as she was supposed too. It was difficult, since he was stoic and showed little emotions. It seemed almost as if whatever she did, it wasn't enough.

When his research into demons and other things was discovered by a group of mages - he let himself be arrested, and allowed Ceri to escape.

That was around a year and a half ago. Unsure where to go, and never having actually talked with or interacted much with other people, she was sorely out of her element. However, she did work up the courage to become a part of Harpy's Wing. In the few months of the journeying she had before coming here, she realized she really wasn't strong, and that she knew actually very little about the world. Books can only teach so much, after all.

Which is her main goal for being here. She wants to learn, experience the world, and maybe make a friend or two on the way.




Magic Name::
Smoke magic

Description::
Smoke Magic.
Although on a much larger scale than holder magic.
While she has direct combat attacks, mostly her magic takes more of an indirect approach to combat.



Other:
Surprisingly quite agile, despite the cloak.
Seems to not weigh much.
Also quite good at using her dagger, so don't underestimate her.

Relatives::
N/A. Never knew her actual parents, and the mage who raised her is imprisoned.

Possessions::
A cloak that dulls the wearers presence, making it easier for her to go unnoticed.

A rather unusual looking dagger She rather abhors using it, but it was the last thing her 'father' gifted her. Seems to have no special properties, other than doing whatever a dagger does. It's blade is almost long enough to be called a short sword, but it's light weight and easy to use. And make no mistake, if she has to, she will use it to the extent of her abilities.

Books! Loves books and reading and generally learning in general.

Theme Song::

"There's so many others lending me strength; not just my precious Spirits. My star's not fading anytime soon~!"



Name:: Kyuuten Rallis
Nickname/Alias:: Starbird. Harpy's Shining Son
Gender:: Male
Age and date of birth:: 19, December 28th

Guild:: Harpy's Wing. His guildmark can be seen on the left side of his neck.

Rank:: A-Class



Personality:: Kyuuten is an energetic young man with a bright sunny smile almost always present on his face. He's the kind to push forward no matter how dark things may seem, believing that things will turn out okay in the end. He'll always try to look for the good in everything and everyone. While his disposition might be like a light in the dark other's might not think he's the brightest. He's by far not an idiot but his carefree, seemingly naive attitude does tend to make him look like not much of a thinker. Although he can be quite oblivious at times. While he also isn't a genius he can think on his feet quite well. He's also surprisingly empathetic despite his hyperactive demeanor. Kyuuten is quick to help others and hates to see people scared or upset and will do whatever he can to make them feel at ease.

History:: Kyuuten lived in a small village where the people had always had strong connections to the Celestial World. It was there that Celestial Unity Magic was being developed. Kyuuten's mother was the head of the development team so he was always hearing about the details. Most people in his village were Celestial wizards and he himself was in training to become one.

His mother was on the verge of completing the new magic when the village was suddenly attacked by an upstarting dark guild. As Kyuuten witnessed his village be destroyed he felt powerless and wondered how anyone could cause such suffering. Thanks to his mother's Celestial Spirit Kyuuten was the only one who managed to escape the devastation. The spirit disappeared without warning and he knew what it meant when a spirit was sent back to the Celestial World without it's wizard's command. His home was gone and he was alone.

Two members of the dark guild had followed him and his mother's spirit anxious to continue their bloodthirsty rampage. They were poised to kill the young boy. Then, in his frightened state Kyuuten started to emit large amounts of magical energy, inadvertently summoning a celestial spirit. A young celestial spirit appeared but she was just as scared as Kyuuten. In the midst of this as he thought about his mother and about all she had worked for, Kyuuten felt something begin to resonate between him and the spirit. In an instant they shared their experiences, painful and happy. Kyuuten pleaded with her to lend him her strength and suddenly there was a flash of light and when he came to his senses it was over. He felt the power he'd just used fade from his body as another momentary light left him and the spirit unable to completely comprehend what had just happened. Kyuuten saw that the dark guild members were lying on the forest floor unconscious. He took one of their weapons to finish them off, to avenge everyone. As he realized what he was doing he stopped. He couldn't bring himself to be a monster like them, to cause pain and take lives like they did. He spared them, taking the spirit girl's hand and fleeing.

Kyuuten knew what he wanted his mother's legacy to be used for: to help and protect others. After they were safely away from the rest of the dark guild, Kyuuten contracted with the spirit, asking her to help him become strong. Over the next three years he sought out people to teach him magic and discovered more about his mother's magic with the wish to never see people being hurt and feel useless again. Kyuuten found a teacher and learned Heavenly Body magic while also developing his skills with Celestial Unity, but he still had a lot to learn. Lacking understanding about his magic his teacher pointed him towards a guild who had the best chance at helping him discover the secrets of power his mother left to him. Kyuuten joined Harpy's Wing and over the last two years he found more than just answers, he found a home.



Magic Name:: Celestial Unity
Description:: Similar to normal Celestial wizards, Celestial Unison wizards summon Celestial Spirits to help them fight. Unlike most Celestial wizards, Unison wizards also use their own magic and merge with Celestial Spirits to combine their strengths, creating a stronger magical force. Instead of Contracts, Bonds are made with the spirits. Bonds don't have conditions, but to make a bond with a spirit the wizard must be deemed worthy by the spirit itself. Combat spirits mostly insist on one-on-one battles, while other area-oriented spirits have the wizard perform a task. These Bonds are the strength behind this magic. Through merging the wizard obtains physical strengths of the spirit (speed, strength, etc.) and have access to the spirits unique powers and any weapons they use. The wizard experiences some side effects, such as physical features that can be, but rarely, permanent and random exhibitions of the mannerisms of a spirit. It is extremely difficult for the wizard to switch between spirits mid-battle as the process of un-merging, summoning a new spirit, and re-merging takes time and can be taxing.

Nickname/Alias:: Shade.

Gender:: Male

Age and date of birth:: 21, 12th of September

Guild:: Golem's Hand, his mark his on the left side of his neck.

Rank:: B class

Personal Information

Personality::

Jack is fighter, always has been and always will be. His urges to throw a punch or use his magic has gotten him into plenty of trouble in the past and had led him down a dark path that still puts him in a sour mood. He enjoys to find different challenges to test his skills, be they on the battlefield or simple trivial challenges such as cooking he will give it his all. He also has a habit of being rather reckless when in a fight. On many occasions he has almost lost a limb, or even his own life because his stubbornness to back out of a fight. He knows it's a dangerous habit, but he has long came to peace with the idea of losing his life within a fight. It's the best way to go for him.

Past his reckless and dangerous nature he can be a very decent guy to hang around. He is a bit loud and enjoys to cause a little chaos now and then, but it's all in good fun. He is always up for a drinking contest and has a history of drinking people under the table. Jack can be a bit of an ass though and sometimes gives people a hard time when he's in a sour mood. His feelings towards his guild are somewhat neutral, he likes being there and all, but to him it's just a job really.

History::

Jack grew up within his brothers traveling mercenary group. The group was small and barely made it by, but Jack and the others were able to get by alright. As Jack reached the age of 8 his brother saw it fit to finally show him how to be an active member of the group. Jack was pitted against the weakest members of the group and forced to fight to improve his skills. Day after day, night after night Jack would be beaten and drilled to meet the expectations of his brother. For the first two years it was Jacks own hell, but later on he found it to be a normal part of his life and grew to enjoy the sensation of fighting. He was able to meet his brothers expectations after he had managed to learn Shadow magic at the age of twelve and was sent out on his first job. He never wants to speak of that day again, but he will only say that was the day the rivers were crimson red.

As Jack continued his life as a member of the small mercenary group he had grown to be the most valuable asset due to his strength and magical skills. From job to job Jacks own humanity began to wilt and die as his emotions towards other became dull. He was so use to hurting other he had lost most of his sympathy towards others. That is until a certain job that required his group to raid a small village for some corrupt nobles. It was a simple job, take some stuff, destroy some property and scare the people to go towards the nobles for help. They had done this before so it was just another routine job. Sadly though Jacks brother had hidden some details from him. Jack was instructed to watch their rear as they raided the job, which was odd seeing as how he was always in the fight, but he simply shrugged it off and followed the plan. Though as the raid was near its end Jack was met by a fleeing villager covered in blood and crying out bloody murder.

With shock and confusion he hurried to the town and was met with a brutal scene of a massacred village. Men, women and children of all ages slaughtered within the streets as the men responsible for it all stood tall with pride in their recent work. Jack saw his brother bring a finishing blow to what seemed to be the village elder and lost himself within his rage. As he came back to his senses he was surrounded by only death. His former group laid dead at his feet while his brothers bloodied body hung limply in his stained hand that was gripped around his throat. There was no regret, no sadness, no anger, just relief.

A few years have passed now and Jack has found himself within the guild of Golem's hand. He has managed to regain some of his lost emotions and is slowly beginning to rebuild himself to be a better person, but his past still and will always leave a feeling of guilt and shame for his crimes against the innocent. He can only look forward now and hope for the best in his long journey towards redemption.

Name:: Saeko
Nickname/Alias:: Sae(guildmates), Iron Shield
Gender:: Female
Age and date of birth:: 18 September 29th

Guild:: Harpy’s Wing Left thigh

Rank:: B



Personality::
A bright cheerful person Saeko seeks to bring and see the best out of a situation. Though she means well and all that her facial expression can come across as something different often appearing apathetic to situations. Despite this she does not let it get her down she seeks adventure and does her best in most situations. She is also somewhat of a hopeless dreamer often dazing off into her own fantasies and the like. She is determined and once she sets her mind onto something she pursues it with a determined cheer.

She does however have a somewhat short fuse and can get a bit out of hand at times. However she is always quick to apologize and does her best to right any wrong that might have occurred. This makes her appear somewhat ditzy but she isn't as clumsy and clueless as people think. When the going gets rough she would often be the first one up shield at the ready.
History::
Saeko grew up with only her brother raising her. Despite this she was happy and wanted to do right. This however gotten her to into many a situation in which he had to bail her out. More often than not she was the first attack due to her quick anger. Her brother was always not far behind to calm her down and set her towards the right the path. However when she was 12 her brother left and never came back. Though he said he was only heading out and be back quickly he never did return. At first thinking her brother died she fell into a deep depression and it wasn't till she received a note and a shield from her brother that she got out of it. Somewhere her brother was alive and she would make it her single goal to find it. With that thought in mind she headed out training and studying in her goal to find her missing family once more.

The shield she received that day though large and clear;y oversized became her utmost focus. “Protect those who can't and you will go the distance” Her brother was fond of telling her and with those words in mind she focused to learning not only to carry the shield but also how to fight with it as well. Her singular drive and cheerful determination eventually lead to her learning that she would need more than just a singular drive. Though by the time she realized this things was almost too late. What good would it do her if she unable to have people she could rely on as well. Everyone needed someone and while her single straight lined determination was admirable it was in the long fruitless. It did her no good as by herself she was unable to find hair or clue of her brothers location. This once more lead to going a spiral of lost hope till she decided that enough was enough and sought to join a guild.

Basic Info

Name::
Kazue Hattori

Nickname/Alias::
The Shinobi of Shock

Gender::
Female

Age and date of birth::
19, July 4th.

Guild::
Golem's Hand

Rank::
A

Personal Information

Personality::
Kazue is a classic case of deadpan. Her expression almost never shifts from her cool and collected blank look. Her voice is a complete monotone which is a surprise because she constantly says outrageous things. Surprisingly, she's a pleasant person to be around. She's willing to help and teach others (though, she is considered to be a spartan teacher because of how difficult her training is).

However, Kazue is a brutal pragmatist at times. She's willing to completely drop jobs if they don't have a reward that she considers worth it. Of course, there is one thing that can easily sway her - jewels. She loves money. Surprisingly, she's good with children.

History::
Born as the first child to the Hattori family, Kazue was declared to be the heir to the Hattori estate. Of course, the "estate" being a large house in the middle of a forest and decades worth of ninjitsu. As a result, her parents taught her hundreds of years worth of knowledge in about three years. The entire ordeal was difficult for a 6 year old. Despite this, Kazue did her best to learn. She wanted her parents to be proud of her, after all.

However, while she was training, her parents had kept on having more and more children. Soon, the Hattori household was bustling with children. Kazue the Master Ninja (age 10) had to look after all of her siblings. After some time, the Hattori estate began to burn through more money than they could make. All of the children took a large financial toll on them. Kazue, the eldest and strongest out of all of them, decided to make some jewels. Of course, her siblings protested, but she had vanished, leaving only a log with her face drawn on it behind.

Kazue managed to end up in Luna Crescente. With nothing to her name, she began to work as a waiter at a restaurant. While she was quite the oddball, she was able to make enough money for her siblings to be raised properly. However, this wasn't enough money. She needed more.

She wanted to revive the Hattori estate. To do so would require an obscene amount of money. The best way to make money wasn't to slog through the days as a labourer, but instead to be a mage for a guild. Kazue, ready for anything, began to study magic in preparation to become a mage.

Surprisingly, she already knew how to use Lightning Magic (albeit weak). She was born with a great aptitude for it, but never realized because she had never seen magic before coming to Luna Crescente. She began to train and train. After some years, she was ready for the test to join a guild.

To her surprise, there was no actual test to join a guild. She just joined one. She didn't even need to use magic - some people simply used magical weapons instead. Kazue actually wasted a few years of her life studying magic that wasn't required. Despite this regret, she still used Lightning Magic.

She had joined Golem's Fist, not because of some desire to use her own strength or protect others, but she just assumed that they were stronger and therefore got more rewarding jobs. Her climb to A-rank was extremely quick - after all, she wanted that all of that succulent coin waiting at the top.

Magic

Magic Name::
Lightning Magic

Description::
Link.

Known Spells::
Quick Bolt
Kazue creates lightning in her hands and aims it. At any point, she can fire a bolt of lightning, striking whatever she aims at.

Stunner Fist
Kazue surrounds her fist in lightning. Upon colliding with something, the lightning is discharged. The Stunner Fist has a tendency to knock people unconscious - especially when combined with a liver punch.

Shockwave
Kazue slams the ground with lightning, causing a wave of lighting to emanate.

Bolt
Kazue creates a kunai out of lightning and throws it. When it collides with something, a large bolt of lightning strikes whatever the kunai hit.

Lightning Bow
Kazue forms a bow made of lightning to fire an arrow of lightning. She can freely make the ability larger and stronger at the cost of draw speed.

Lightning Body
Kazue, in simplest terms, surrounds herself in lightning to move at incredible speeds. She can collide into people or flee. She can only hold her body in lightning for 3 seconds.

Blinding Light
Kazue creates a blast of lightning in her hands so concentrated that it temporarily blinds anyone looking directly at her.

Supercharge
Kazue can imbue a target with lightning. At the cost of feeling as though you are constantly being electrocuted to death, the target gains superhuman speed. If Kazue uses it on herself, all of her moves are empowered. If she uses it on an inanimate object, it becomes infused with lightning.

Misc

Other::
Kazue is, because of her upbringing, a master of disguise and stealth. She can also jump extraordinarily high and swap places with logs that have her face drawn on them.
Despite being the eldest of her sibs, she is only 4'10" and is sensitive about it.
Even without using magic, she's considered to still be an A-rank mage because of her sheer combat prowess.

Relatives::
Kazue is the eldest of 10 brothers and 8 sisters with more siblings on the way.

Possessions::
Ninja Tools - Kunai, ninja stars, scrolls, everything a ninja could use. Nothing special about them.
Midori - A sword Kazue is affectionate about. A heirloom from the Hattori estate, Midori is a masterwork blade. Though, it is rather standard for a short sword. The only thing unique about it is the guard, which is designed to disarm.
