NAME:

Katherine Abigail, nicknamed The Fire Princess

AGE:

18

GRADE:

St Laurels High School, 3rd year

BIOGRAPHY:

Similar to her sister, Katherine was alone most of the time during her childhood without their parent's guidance. This is what made her the free spirited and full of energy girl she is today. One trait she shares with her sister Christine, is the fact that she too is airheaded on occasioms. She loves to tease others with all kinds of things, and her favourite past time is messing with her sister whenever she can.

Unlike her sister who had always been training her abilities, Katherine focused more on training his body. From a young age Katherine was often in fights, and she started attending boxing classes when she was 12. For 6 years now, she's been doing kick box, and she is a prominent figure in teen boxing circles. She has the dream of becoming a professional boxer someday.

She would often train along with her sister to test their powers too. Thought Christine never wore any pants, Katherine had a more serious issue with her ability. Anytime she powered up, her clothes would get burned or completely destroyed due to the intense heat. It is fair to say, that this isn't the most advantegous of side effects, so Katherine usually brings extra clothing to school in case something happens.

Katherine is usually reluctant to battle and despite her tomboyish nature, which can be attributed to the embarassing side effect of her powers and the fact that she's not too keen on hurting anyone for real. However, as she powers up, she gets more and more into the battle, which is why a lot of people are afraid to challenge her. When angry or agitated, she can sometimes lose her temper and act in ways that are absolutely random, ranging from spontaneous burts of anger and cruelty to emotional outbursts and paranoia.

CORE POWER: INFERNO

Katherine's core power comes from the blessing of the Goddes of Inferno. Katherine's body temperature hangs at around 40-45 Celsius usually, but during a battle she gradually heats up to extreme temperatures. Triggering at the crispy temperatures of 120 degrees, this heat ramps up to around 500 degrees Celsius during a battle. With more heat, Katherine receives more strength and agility, with the peak of her basic form making her run and punch roughly 2 times better than usual. The heat is fueled by her emotions to a degree, which means that angering her will result in more heat output. At the same time, she loses more and more control of her actions as she generates more heat. Once her ability kicks in, she will constantly regenerate heat until she reaches the limit of her form. During this process, Katherine's body begins to emit high levels of heat and light, rendering most of her body features hard to make out. She becomes more malleable and less suspective to blunt force trauma, but it also makes her way more suspectible to elemental attacks of opposite nature (Cold, Water, Wind). Katherine's powers are always scaled back when she uses them against other humans, which is probably something to do with ther psichology and not her powers.

She cannot indefinetly keep this form, and after 15-20 minutes she will pass out as if she was in Nova form.

PPOWER ABILITIES:

-Burning Aura: In a burst of heat, Katherine can expend most of her core temperature to do an AoE attack around her which inflicts serious burns on others. The attack is non lethal in standard enviroment, and even up close it won't kill anyone, but it can inflict third degree burns. After this attack she will be slower and weaker until she recovers her heat again.

-Searing Beam: Katherine can channel her heat energy into a concentrated beam, superheating that air and sending a funnel of ionised plasma at her foe. The power draws from her core temperature every second, and it has a fairly limited range of 10 meters before the plasma disspiates.

-Demonform: Switching into a higher gear, Katherine can go far beyond here usual heat limit of 500-600 Celsius and go up to around 1500 degrees. Her yellowish glow significantly intensifies by several factors and turn blue. At this temperature she can melt steel beams, and her speed and strength are improved tenfold, but the ability is a ticking timebomb which quickly makes her fall unconscious if she can't beat her foe right away. This form also increases the effect of all her other abilities.

RELATIONSHIPS:
-Christine Abigail: Her airheaded twin sister and favourite target for teasing when out of school. Since they have been together for most of the time through their childhood, they have forged a strong bond and Katherine ultimately wants to protect her sister. If the day comes that the two need to fight, she'll give it her best shot to give a beating to her sister, but she might be more reluctant to her friends beat on her...

-Samoth Moskono: The only match for Kath at her school, she holds samoth in a high place for his powers. That said, the often incredibly obnoxious guy is a pain in the backside if you ask Kath. Hatred is not the right word, and Samoth gets a tatse of Kath's foolery just like everyone else, but he isn't going to be her best friend.

-Liselotte: What an interesting girl! Kath was never more interested to find out more about a shy person than when she first met Lise. However, she quickly became a focus of her mischief in another way: namely bearing the crush of Andreim upon her. Lise is a trump card for Kath in her petty tease war against Andreim.

-Cassius: FIREBUDDY! Ever since the summer break when Kath asked Cass to train with her, the poor boy has been pretty much constantly stalked or messed with by Kath. You can hardly see the two apart from each other, whether that be by the free will of Cass, or the forceful and unrelenting nature of Kath. But mostly the last.

-Cyan Bridget: The shy boy with the coin in hand, Kath never really got to talk to Cyan. It simply was never her intent, and the two had only talked a few times. Cyan seems like a nice boy, and his fluffy tail nearly mesmorises Kath, but his personality seems lacluster for Kath's taste.

-Andreim Volkazar: An arch nemesis to Kath, the two wage a petty war of teasing each other. Though he is a powerful ability user, and someone who Kath respects for their power, she'd rather die than to say any good words to the guy. Not because she hates him, not by a longshot. It's simply because this is war, and she cannot let her guard down!

Aw Yeah!

NAME:

Thobias Thane

AGE:

18

GRADE:

Mephisto, 3rd year

BIOGRAPHY:

Thobias was born as the son of Teodor Thane, the CEO of Enson Corporations, and such he has always lived a prosperous life in the rich areas of town. This lifestyle has made him a real stuck-up prick in many areas of life. However he mostly enjoys pickinp up girls thanks to the insane amount of wealth that he as access to thanks to his father.

His connection to his father isn't exactly the best, and ever since his mother died when he was still 6, it has been getting worse and worse. Thobias spends most of his time away from home, roaming around the city looking for adventure or skirts. Either does it for him really. He rides a sport motorbike around, a perk of being insanely rich, and has gotten in serious troubles with law enforcement for speeding and ignoring traffic lights.

Borderline runaway, his father often sends guards after Thobias to bring him home after he spends several nights out. He is a daredevil at heart and enjoys going wild whenever he can. To him, fun is measured by how extremely insane something is.

CORE POWER: RIFTWALKER

Thobias is a character of unique abilities. He has been blessed with powers that originate from a strange being that isn't any of teh gods. Thobias has the ability to manipulate the fabric of time and space itself to move around quickly. This mostly revolts around his core ability that allows him to "blink", insantly transferring himself to any space in a roughly 50 meter area that he can see. Windows don't interrupt this travel, and he can blink on top of ledges. Thought the way his powers work is very complex, this is the most basic form of travel that Thobias utilises, and it requires little effort. Consecutive blinks exponentially increase the difficulty of travel as space-time strenghtens around the area to compensate for the anomaly cause by him, resulting in more and more exhausting jumps.

Thobias carries anything and anyone he is carrying with himself when he uses blink. However, this only works if said object or person is directly in contact with his skin, and will exclude anything in indirect contact (touching his clothing excludes you from the blink).

POWER ABILITIES:

-Heightened Senses: Thobias has significantly improved perception and reaction time. Thought he won't be dodging bullets with it, he can better predict the movement of his opponents and see micro movements that others can hardly catch. He can easely avoid or even catch smaller projectiles, and very fast things seem to slow down in his vision.

-Complex Movement: Thobias's mastery of his power allow him to teleport, but only to things he can see. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. In a roughly 2 meter area, Thobias can teleport around freely, without any restrictions tied to sight. Seeing any place through a camera's feed or television allows Thobias to travel to the place he sees. He cannot use this power to teleport through walls.

-Fabric Tear: A move much closer to the full potential of Thobias's powers, he can tear a rift in the fabric of reality that leads to another point in space. The rift is a circle that can be up to 2x2 meters in size and has seemingly no depth or visible edges. It shows the other side as if it was a window, and acts in every conceivable way as a hole through a wall. Anyone and anything can seemlessly travel through the rift to arrive on the other side. The rift can be traversed through from either side. The rift won't close until Thobias wants it to, at which point both ends cease to exist. If Thobias makes a new rift, the old one disappears. Thobias can only open rifts in accordance to the rules of Complex Movement and to places he has visited before.

THEME SONG:

Name: Brutus Reinhardt
Nicknames: The Blue Thunderclap

Age: 18

Grade/Faction: High School, 3rd Year; but a Vigilante from St. Laurel's.

Biography:
Brutus grew up from a middle-class family. Both of his parents are college professors, and so Brutus grew up wanting little. To be honest, he really only had any sort of interest in mastering his powers, which were discovered to be electricity-based at a young age. This made Brutus a volatile child to be around, as he tended to deliver shocks to those kids that upset him.

As he grew up, Brutus' temper and volatility lessened. Instead, he adopted a more stoic and aloof personality, to the point of being called cold-hearted. However, this outlook has allowed him to control his power, and excel. This is a bit of a downfall, since he does take some pride in his powers. However, he is also not completely arrogant, and knows that there are plenty out there that are stronger than he.

At about the time of his second year at St. Laurel's, Brutus began to notice King and the Vigilantes. By that, Brutus began to notice their actions. While not exactly buying King's full story, Brutus soon realized that there was perhaps a chance of a bigger danger arriving. As such, Brutus joined their ranks, gaining a reputation for doing his jobs and doing them well.

Powers: Blue Thunderclap
Brutus' core power derives from the blessings of the Goddess of Thunder. This power allows him to freely control electrons in any way, shape, or form. This has also granted him a complete immunity to electricity. He is also able to enhance his bodily abilties with his power, thus increasing his speed and agility.

1. Electro Dart- Brutus is able to fire a dart of electricity at foes. This ability itself doesn't do much to the foes, but is used in tandem with one of his other abilities. Foes hit with this ability are "tagged"
2. Flashfield- Alone, the flash field is capable of diverting slow physical projectiles from Brutus' body. However, if he has tagged a foe, then using his Flashfield sends electricity flowing directly into the foe's body, shocking them. However, he can only use this ability for no more than 20 seconds before overheating, and being unable to use his powers for a brief period.
3. Electrosphere- Brutus covers his body in a sphere of bright blue electricity. Contact with this sphere causes massive damage to foes, but rapidly drains Brutus of energy. Another drawback is that the range of the sphere is short, being only 1 meter in diameter.
4. Electric Dispersion- An ability that Brutus perfected shortly after the tournament that allows him to disperse his body into pure electricity. This can be used to evade most attacks, as well as being able to be used to shock any foes that approach. However, using this ability is similar to using his Flashfield, which means that he can short himself out and be unable to use his powers for a short period of time if overused.
5. Thunderstrike- Brutus gathers electrical energy within himself, drawing from outside sources when necessary. Once he has enough charge stored, he unleashes a massive blast of electricity in front of himself, launching it like a railgun. This a last-ditch move, as this will leave Brutus drained unless his powers have been boosted by an ally. This is the technique that he has been working on since the apartment fiasco.

Relationships:

St. Laurel's

Alto Ganze- Brutus had few encounters with Alto, as he only stayed at St. Laurel's for a couple of weeks during his second year before joining the Vigilantes. Brutus respects his power, as well as his academic prowess.
Rest TBD

Mephisto's

Clara Deimos Erdrigan- Brutus has never had the (mis)fortune of encountering Clara, and thus only knows her by her reputation. He has since reached the conclusion that he'd rather put of meeting her as long as possible.
Bak Tsarevna-Brutus has only encountered Bak once, during a tournament just before he joined the Vigilantes. Brutus respects Bak's power. While he finds her a bit simple-minded, he is aware that she is a dangerous foe and not to be underestimated. Zap with extreme prejudice if fighting her. Why? Missiles hurt, especially when taken to the face.
Rest TBD

King- While a bit skeptical of King's true origins, Brutus respects King enough to know that there is likely some truth to what he claims. Thus, Brutus has put forth his effort to aiding the Vigilantes, even if he finds his leader a bit distant. Then again, he himself is a bit aloof as well, so he really can't complain.
Ria Köhler: Brutus, if he's honest, is put-off by her whole attitude and outlook on life. Sure, he doesn't like to get close to others, but he also doesn't actively push them away. Due to this, Brutus tends to avoid interacting with her more than necessary.
Michael Angie: Brutus has not worked with Michael much, but knows a bit about his powers. He finds his ability interesting, and is curious as to the limits of it.
Zachary Smith: While initially creeped out by Zachary's power, Brutus now finds him a valuable ally to have in a time of potential danger.
Melanie Hennar- Brutus sees Melanie as a sort of friendly rival. The two have worked on a few missions together before. Despite each preferring to do things their own way, they do end up working well together.

Name: "Living Armor" Bak Tsarevna
Age: 16

Grade: Mephisto's, 2nd Year

Biography: A student brought in by Mephisto to fill out the ranks, she was discovered in an extensively damaged far-flung town that was all but deserted save for Bak and her parents. Bak's problems had begun when she was just a small child when her parents had discovered odd growths on her back. Unable to afford a doctor and wondering whether these growths might be just a simple rash or some type of cancer, they experienced an odd combination of horror and relief when they realized that their daughter was growing a turret.

Over time, other parts formed. Armor here. A missile pod there. Her legs deformed, warping into a new shape to better support her great weight. She learned to fire her guns. People started calling her a monster. She learned to block out the sound with explosions. She learned to really like explosions.

She liked explosions so much that eventually everyone just up and left, then she realized life was awfully lonely when you didn't have any more friends to shoot at. So when she was offered a place at a school in the big city where she could make some new friends she jumped at the chance, despite not really attending school since she blew out the back of her kindergarten class.

Powers:
Built Like A Tank
Bak grows armor and weaponry out of her own body naturally. These are a part of her, act as limbs that she controls, and shares their senses with her (for example, the targeting cameras on her missile pod and artillery gun effectively act as additional eyes.) Because of the great weight these parts place on her she has advanced strength and durability just to be able to move, her internals essentially being either made of or enhanced with metal. This weight problem is the main reason she hasn't just covered herself in all the guns ever, because even her strength would be overwhelmed if she were over-encumbered.

• Self Modification - When one of Bak's parts is damaged beyond repair it must be shed and regrown. The length of time this takes varies based on how complex the part being regrown is, from a week (for something like armor) to up to half a year (for something as complex as a missile pod.) It only during this time that, through an effort of will, a growing part can be modified with different features or made to grown into something different.
• Ammo Generation - What is the point of having all these guns without the ammo to fire them? Bak is able to grow normal bullets almost instantly within the barrels of her guns, with larger ammunition taking only slightly longer (about two of my posts). Creating ammunition uses up her stamina, steadily exhausting her the more she has to create. Strangely, none of this ammo seems as dangerous as it should be. It will do as much property damage as the real thing, but when pointed at other humans it gets much weaker. It will still hurt and do damage, but even a direct missile strike from doesn't seem enough to kill someone outright. Her attacks lack any true killing intent.
• Special Sense Share - If a piece of equipment Bak grows has a special sensor, she shares senses with it. For example, a thermal camera on a missile pod will allow her to have thermal vision or a radio will have the voice come in directly to her ear. If the part conveying the sense is destroyed Bak loses that corresponding sencse.
  Since these can come in any order this is my idea for either my fifth and fourth power.
• Rescue Missile: Bak fires a salvo of missiles that, instead of doing damage when exploding, creates an incandescent bubble within which the effect that keeps her bullets from dealing fatal damage applies to every attack made within the bubble. The bubble lasts only a short time. The power seems to adversely effect her launcher, and every use of it extends the time for her missiles to reload until the the launcher can be readjusted.
• Drone Factory: Bak can spawn up to two remote drones from her mouth. These drones can come in a variety of configurations, but are each made up of one weapon type, one means of locomotion, and a special camera type. Drones can either be directly controlled or act independently from Bak while following simple orders. Bak shares vision with the drones, and their weapons operate under the same mercy restriction as hers do. She can not control more than two, any more than that will come up inoperable. Bak can not create any more than two in a day.

Relationships:

• Clara Deimos Erdrigan: Bak calls her tovarish. She is Clara's loyal toady, shield against danger, and secret best friend whether she likes it or not.
• Rurik Alexeev: A lazy boy who is always late and rude. Missiles so far have not improved his attitude. The solution is obviously more missiles. A poor worker through and through, but he can blow things up too so it kind of evens out.
  
  
  Bak's Perspective [+]

  Human beings only had one redeeming quality: they were fun targets. Bak had known this for a very long time, nearly so long as she could remember. She assumed that there must have been some affection once, surly someone that had held her at some point and looked down on her with eyes filled to bursting with love. Sometimes when she wracked her memory she could fool herself into believing she could remember how it felt. That was nothing but a delusion. Even if she could grasp at the faintest outline of love in a distant memory it had no meaning in the world she lived in. In her world humans didn't have any love for her. They had jeers. They had stones. They had fear. They looked at her with hatred in their hearts because she was a demon monster who existed only to do evil in the world. They would kill her, if they believed they could, and she had protected herself, because no one else would do so for her, and gradually those fearful glares all disappeared over the horizon never to be seen again. All but two, but there wasn't anything she could do about that.
  
  It was here, in the burnt out ruin of what might have been a town, that the man from Mephisto's had found her. She wasn't entirely sure why she agreed to go with him. Maybe it was childlike wanderlust, or a need to search out more targets to shoot, or just to get way from those two whom she could never use her bullets to drive away. They hadn't accompanied her to the cargo plane the man had chartered to take her to Rhea, had not even said goodbye. The only ones she shared a goodbye with were the sheep in the field, who tolerated her only because their glass eyed ignorance kept them from comprehending her. They were the closest things she'd ever had to friends and, as she felt the plane rumble under her as she flew into parts unknown, the only thing she regretted leaving behind.
  
  In an odd way it was comforting to know that people were the same everywhere. She'd been in this position before, surrounded by a swarm of children yelling colorful insults, but she didn't let any of it get through her armor. She was actually smiling faintly at the ridiculousness of it all. All you had to do was look at her to tell that this was a bad idea. They were always so stupid. Did they think being here, at this school, would protect them? Did they believe she was unwilling to use her seemingly lethal arsenal? Were they thinking that, perhaps, she would never be foolish enough to fire her missiles at this range? Her missile launcher flipped open, and she stopped for a moment to appreciate the sudden silence and collective intake of breath from the mob. Then she unleashed hell.
  
  The first explosion was always the most fun because it made them scatter like carrion birds. The heat was just warm enough to feel good as it washed across her skin, the concussive force that had thrown part of the circle in all directions only making her step backwards to regain her balance. She spun up her guns, tracked one of the fleeing groups with her artillery, and from that point on she was prancing in a field of yellow-orange flowers. The courtyard was filled with big hearty BOOMs, the scream of pain as people went down, were knocked up, came back down, and somehow over it all the joyous peals of a young girls laughter. It lasted no more than a few seconds before they had scattered out of sight and Bak was, again, seemingly alone. Seemingly.
  
  There was one left. There was usually the one in every crowd, the one for whom Fight or Flight glitched out and made them stand their, dumbly, not even processing what was going on. She turned to face him. She smiled. She'd give him a chance. She wait for him to settle on one of the other while she waited for her missiles to reload. He knelt down, hands raised as though he were expecting that to save him. She saw his hand slowly creep over to a rock, lifting it into his hand. Fight, then. That was brave. She'd only use a missile on him, they didn't hurt as much.
  
  When he threw it, though, it wasn't at her. It sailed behind a bush and exploded like something of her own, sending the ones that had been hiding their tumbling head over foot into the air. What? She turned back to the boy, who was giving her a weak little smile. What? Huh? Why? What?
  
  She didn't understand. Even as she started clapping she was so dumbfounded she didn't even bother to rotate her guns out of the way. She laughed, but even then she didn't quite get why, and he started to laugh too. Slowly, shakily, like a man that had been led to the gallows only to see the contraption collapse as he stepped on it, but even so. It wasn't until some time later, after she'd met with the rest of the committee and had time to acclimate herself to them, that she fully understood what it was she'd been feeling at that moment. At the time she'd been content to just stand there and laugh together with another human being because it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever felt.
• Christine Abigail: Pervert. She is pervert. Such good worker, but pervert. Can't use missile. Missile would blow more clothes off. That's what she wants. Oooohhhh, what to do?
• Gilliam DeWitt: Bak has no idea how to deal with compliments on her appearance, especially from a boy, especially from a boy as handsome as that. Then again, Gilliam eats garbage, so isn't being to his taste sort of insulting?
• Alto Ganze: She doesn't really understand why Clara hates this guy so much, so just assumes he must have broken her heart. Or perhaps he's a pervert. Tovaresh must be kept safe from this heartbreaking pervert!
• King: Believes King's backstory implicitly. Want's to ask him what space is like so she can go there once she grows up and becomes a giant robot.

Name:
Ria Köhler, The Bitch Witch of Eyes

Age:
17

Grade:
Second Year High School, Vigilante from St. Laurel's.

Biography:

"Come on, I'm morally ambiguous at worst."

Born to a blue-blooded family, it would be no surprise that Ria would be a student at St. Laurel's. After all, she was raised in a noble household. She was taught how to be a proper lady from the day she was born. The only problem being her personality. Ever since she was a child, Ria hated nice people. To her, the world of the upper-class was merely a veil of niceties hiding a bitter and cruel reality. It would be no surprise that Ria hated the high life.

She always acted out. Insulting others, being derisive, anything that would disrupt others. To her, people being nice was a lie propagated by parents in order to gain higher social standing. Passive aggression was a sin worse than murder. Disgusted by those who acted nice, Ria was always above them. She kept a harsh attitude towards others - a rude way of interaction, but honest. Unafraid to pull her punches, Ria symbolizes the exact opposite of nobility - compassion, virtue, and reservedness - but still acts with earnest and passion.

However, she is notorious in St. Laurel's. Known for being a terrible human being, Ria is one of the few people the students don't want to encounter. Because of the sheer amount of intel her ability gives, King had scouted her to act as a reserve member. Most of the other vigilantes were surprised that Ria could actually fight.

Powers:
Bestowed by the God of Sight, Ria's eyes are enhanced with both magical abilities and physical mutations.

As if stolen from an insect, Ria's right eye is a highly reflective black. Covered by hundreds of small lenses, her right eye can accurately track all movement within her line of sight. This doesn't come without its costs, however. As her eyes see things differently, she can't have her compound eye and her divine eye open without becoming extremely disoriented.

Ria's left eye is the exact opposite. Rather than having a wide field of view that allows her to react to all visual stimulus, her left eye is extremely analytical. It focuses its gaze deep into all visuals. By using this eye, she can accurately read enemies by focusing things such as muscle mass and even bone structure. By using this eye, her peripheral vision is tunneled, making it much harder to see what's going on.

By revealing both eyes at once, Ria can "paralyze" those who make eye contact with her. Becoming immobilized from fear, those who gaze into her eyes can only fight back using their willpower. Bewitching only works on those that are lesser beings. Those who are weaker or animals are afflicted heavily. Those who are on even ground are only slowed, filled with an indescribable dread. Those who are stronger don't really feel much, other than a feeling that they saw something in those eyes that they should not have.

Name: Rurik Alexeev, AKA "The Sleeper"... literally just because he sleeps too much.





Age: 18

Grade: 2nd Year at Mephisto's

Biography:
A bit of a punk, but not really a troublemaker. He was born to a family of farmers. Nice, humble people for the most part, but unlike him were perfectly normal. Everything was fine until a blight hit their crops, causing them to go poor in record time. One could argue this is what sent him down a bad path. Hard work had gotten his family nowhere in the end, so what was the point?

Moving to the city of Rhea, they rebuilt their lives, but no longer as happy as they had been before. Rurik just became lazier and lazier as time went on, barely passing school. He spent much of his time with a group on degenerates roaming the streets. They would cause trouble and he would watch because sometimes it was funny and at least he wasn't lonely that way.

That was good enough for him until they got in serious trouble, escalating from petty pranks to full blown crimes. Rurik was fortunately recognized as a bystander, not a true accomplice, but his parents were still furious and at their wits end. He hardly cared, but knew it would be even more problematic if things continued as they did.

His life needed to get out of the holding pattern it had been in, and so enter Mephisto's. He could never have gotten into the far more reputable and illustrious St. Laurels. And besides, the crowd this school gathered kinda reminded him of his former friends. He'd fit in just fine, right?

And yet somehow he still got held back a year for egregious tardiness... Some habits never changed.

---


---

As far as fighting goes, he's average. He doesn't practice much and hasn't really tested the upper limits of his powers. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you ask Rurik, people tend to pick lots of fights with him, for various reasons. It's not hard to get into a fight at Mephisto's, after all. He's become a bit of a street fighter despite never actively looking for a fight. He has won most of his brawls thanks to his abilities being fairly powerful, more so than most people expect from him, him being such a laggard. And thanks to Bak Tsarevna assaulting him every day, he gets plenty of practice with his shield, so maybe her attempts aren't entirely fruitless.

Honestly though, his greatest feat is just how much he's managed to squander his potential.

Powers:
His powers allow him to energize the world around him, generally resulting in powerful kinetic blasts or turning objects into projectiles. The more energy, the more dramatic the result, but the longer it will take to charge, though rarely ever too long to be viable. There is an upper limit to how much he can charge and still maintain a proper projectile. Purely kinetic blasts are mostly transparent, only somewhat distorting the air and so are difficult to track visually due to their speed. However, more powerful blasts are kinda loud.

1. Bounce: Channels energy into a field that can only be focused through his hands, limiting the area he can cover. At low energy outputs, it merely drains the kinetic force from incoming projectiles, but at higher outputs he can redirect and/or send the projectiles back, potentially with even greater force than they originally had. Can be overwhelmed if hit by a too strong a force. Very limited protection from high temperatures and next to no protection from low temperatures.

2. Blast: Overcharges anything he touches to make it explode. Doesn't work on living beings. Can be combined with his bolt for projectile explosives. Like his bolts, it takes a moment to charge, with longer charges being stronger. Can store a charge in himself and transfer to the object he wants to detonate. Charges slightly slower than a bolt.

3. Burst: Energizes himself so that he can push off the ground for bursts of speed or enhanced melee attacks.

4. Barricade: Rurik covers his whole body in invisible energy, creating reactive armor that explodes on contact to cancel out incoming attacks. It goes off in chunks. Hitting his elbow for example would remove the armor from his hand to his shoulder. If he's given a few seconds to focus, he can restore the armor, but it doesn't regenerate automatically.

Note: Bounce is the only ability that specifically requires his hands due to the amount of focus required. In theory, all his other powers/abilities can be channeled through any part of his body.

Name: Zachery "The Immortal" Smith

Age:16

Grade: School? Who needs to waste time there? (self educated member of the Vigilantes)



Biography:

Zachery was born to a large, low class family. He had three brothers and two sisters, all of which were older then he was. His parents both had stable, if low income, jobs; and were able to, if barely, support the whole family. Then one day when Zach was three, everything changed. The Ancient Enemy of Humanity raised its head and catastrophe struck. He and his family were having a small party to celebrate his oldest brother getting his first job. While they were at the restaurant something attacked the building. Zach never saw it, all he could remember was the building he and his family were in collapsing, and him being stuck in agony, unable to scream for lack of breath, or move because his body was pinned, for a very long time (about 4 and a half days while rescue teams searched the wreckage).

He was three, and now his entire family was dead, the doctors wouldn't leave him alone. He wouldn't eat. Or drink. Or sleep. He stayed awake, not responding to anyone or anything for almost two months before he suddenly started screaming. Luckily for him, another family was willing to take him in. For the first couple of years he was...okay? Sometime during his sixth year he realized that he was smarter then his classmates. Finishing test before anyone else, (sometimes before the teacher had even finished explaining it). It didn't take long for him to accelerate after that. He started studying on his own, spending the time he was supposed to be asleep looking stuff up on the computer.

Then, when he was eight he discovered exactly what had happened to his family, and he began training himself. Not as a protector, but as an avenger. He new his foe. He started looking up different types of Martial Arts, finding many to be flawed. after almost two years of nighttime practice and studying, he realized that he would have to come up with his own style in order to take advantage of his abilities. He started to work on mind over matter techniques designed to push the human body past its limits, albeit at the cost of tearing muscles and breaking bones. By taking advantage of his extraordinary healing, he was able to master the techniques not only in theory, but in practice.

He has continued to study on his own, both scholastically and combat wise. However, his hunger for revenge has long been tempered, and is rarely, if ever noticed by anyone. Nowadays he is a nice, relaxed, helpful, and joking person that goes around working odd jobs during the day. At night however, one can see his obsessive side emerge as he spends his nighttime hours breaking his body over and over again in order to strengthen it, or explores the city's underground and shadows looking for his prey. Of which, he has found and destroyed a small handful. Recently he was invited by King to join the vigilantes, to which he said yes, if only to gain practice at fighting different types of foes.

Powers:

Core: Immortal- Can't be killed. Period. Whether or not he will live forever is unknown, all that is known is that he can't be killed. He has been beheaded, stabbed through the heart, left without food and water, ect. Nothing has worked.

Sub Power 1:Independence- Doesn't need food, water, sleep, or anything else to survive.

Sub Power 2:Perfect Spirit- Zach cannot be possessed or mind controlled. Curses have little to no effect, disappearing almost instantly. The same for most abilities that don't affect the body. This ability also allows him to make physical contact with ethereal creatures, as they can't be in the same place as him.

Sub Power 3: Regeneration- Heals physical injury much faster then other people. Healing injuries that that normally take days in seconds. A broken arm will set and knit itself together in minutes. Small piece of the body missing? Wait ten minutes. Missing arm or leg? Might take an hour. Missing a head? Two hours. Body blown to shreds or disintegrated? He'll be up and walking around the next day.

Relationships:

Anyone from Mephisto's or St. Laurel's Is just wasting their time...unless they actually need schooling. Zach often wonders why though. There were demons and such to fight. The strongest members of each school especially. It would be far more useful for us to all work together to defeat this threat. Idiots.

King- A good leader. If a bit odd. At least I hope he is just a bit odd. If he was telling the truth then we just weren't ready. At all.

Ria Köhler- Disruptive to the team dynamic, but at least she knows what she is doing.

Brutus Reinhardt- At least he is on the right side, and good at his job.

Michael Angie- Someone who has seen the world for what it is. Also has some nice abilities, too bad he isn't actually trying to help that much. Such a waste.

Melanie 'The Void' Hennar- Useful powers. Horrible parents. Wonders why she joined the Vigs.

Samoth’s powers are fueled and strengthened by his willpower. Luckily for him, his deity granted him a large supplementary pool of it to draw from, and a hardy base of it, allowing him to accomplish feats unlike others. He can draw upon this willpool in mundane ways - for example to persevere physically - or through more special ways, such as to summon a large armada of his willpower structures, to manipulate the shape of Will-naught, or even to purge nuisances against his mind. These methods will, of course, begin to drain the pool quickly, which will require meditation to recover.

Samoth has developed the ability to will the powers of another away from them - or from the environment - temporarily. He can will a field of anti-magic to cover each of his arms from elbow to fingertips. This field obliterates the forces causing magic to persist - and when applied to the skin of another individual, will quickly dig to their center to disable their abilities for as long as he touches them. Samoth can also use this touch to pierce different planes, if he knows what he’s aiming for. While this power does not normally drain his pool of will, he can manipulate the field to some degree - but doing so is very costly.

Samoth can project his sheer willpower as a force onto his environment, creating invisible, solid structures from nothing. He can anchor these structures to space, allowing them to float - and rendering them immobile unless willed to move by himself. Surpassing these structures is much harder using subnatural means, as it pits Samoth’s will against his foe’s - but physically they can be worn out at a cost to his pool.

Samoth can detect the wills of those he allies himself with, within a certain radius. Within about a hundred feet, he can sense the precise position of allies and the general condition of their Willpower state. This state will include emotions such a terror, triumph, or similarly overwhelming emotions.

Name:

Kheraket

Age:

17

School:

Unaffiliated

Biography:

As a young boy, Kheraket lived with his parents in a small home. He spent most of his days at said home with his mother, as his father was out working. While he was a happy and adventurous boy, his parents worried sometimes. He always seemed to be talking to himself, instead of other children his age.

Unfortunately, having lost his parents to an accident a few months before he turned ten, he was adopted by a local temple that had come to learn of his powers. There they taught him how to control his magic, and eventually, he'd become strong enough to receive spiritual guidance from his divine entity, The God of the Underworld.

Having become adept at interacting with the spiritual plane, Kheraket was given a task from his God, and in turn became a Gatekeeper between the physical world and the spiritual. The God granted him further abilities, even bringing him to his plane shortly to do so. If he proved himself, the ruler of the Underworld would grant him and his deceased parents a second chance at life.

As for personality, Kheraket matured well under the wing of his entity. He has lost the care-free nature of his childhood, and has become more stoic in his behavior. However, he has never really met anyone of his age, and therefore is very curious.

(To be filled)

Powers:

Core - Close to Death: When brought to the Underworld, Kheraket's God lifted some number of mortal burdens from the shoulders of his new prophet. Common nuisances such as hunger, thirst, and sleep are of no worry to Kheraket, although he can choose to indulge in them if he so wishes. Additionally, Kheraket is barred from entering the Underworld, unless he does so to contact a spirit, his entity, or to draw power. This essentially means he cannot die, and also grants him extra constitution.

Secondary - Gatekeeper: Kheraket is adept at manipulating the paths between the Physical plane, Spiritual plane, and the Underworld. As such, he can draw entities from the latter planes to the first, to aid him. Summoning too many, or an entity too powerful, will be tiring for him, however.
Summoning entities who are of slight physical form, such as shades, ghosts, etc. are much easier to summon. More physically powerful creatures such as ghouls, wights, or Gorgons take more energy.

Tertiary - Soul Whisperer: Since he was a child, Kheraket was always able to communicate with spirits around him. When he does so, his eyes glow a vibrant blue. He has since learned to extend his own spirit from his body, and travel between each plane at will. When in the spiritual plane, he is still conscious of the objects in the physical world, besides its inhabitants. Of them, he only sees their souls. He can, however, hear them.
He can speak to spirits and other similar entities, draw knowledge from them, and has some amount of magical influence over them, due to his position as a Gatekeeper.

Quarternary - Unyielding Spirit: It takes a powerful will to traverse the spiritual world without a hitch. Kheraket was required to develop an everlasting sense of determination, and so he has. This allows him to fight off spirits when he leaves his body, and also helps him fight through pain in the physical world. It also makes him resistant to any tampering with his mind or spirit.

Name:Masami Souma
Aliases: N/A
Age: 17 (1st year at Laurel's, 3rd year)
Gender:Female

---

---

Height:5'4"
Weight: 122 lbs
Eyes: Light Green, inquisitive
Hair: Golden blond, long
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: N/A
Personal Style: Masami's wardrobe is quite odd. Her outfits consist of modern styles blended with traditional sections of frabric or designs that show how proud she is of her ancestry. Often seen wearing conflicting styles, such as long, wide, traditionally modest sleeves accompanied by short skirts and thigh-highs, etc.
It would be considered extremely rare to see her wearing her hair up, and she likes to decorate it with various bows and flowers, often many at a time.
Masami isn't shy about showing her half-Kitsune blood, and keeps her fox ears and twin-tails in plain view, at almost all times. Both her ears and her tails are the same shade as her hair, ending in a much darker black. Her color scheme mainly consists of red, black, white, dark brown, and maroon.

---

---

Enthusiastic Friendly Whimsical Caring

Sexuality: Bi-Sexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Masami is a very energetic individual. She can't stand to see others in pain, and will usually try to cheer everyone up. She isnt shy about her Kitsune heritage, but one thing she does find embarassing is that her ears and twin-tails usually reveal her emotions without her consent. She tries to make as many friends as she can, even if they are normally considered an "enemy".
Habits: Knocking stuff over with her tails, petting animals too much.
Fears:

• Dogs
• Demons

Likes:

• Animals
• People
• Friendliness
• Wind
• Sparring

Dislikes:

• Rudeness
• Dogs
• Portals
• Demons
• Heat

History: Masami was born as the result of the love between a Kitsune and a human. She inherets heavily from her mother, a Kistune. She doesn't inherit much from her father, however. He passed away when she was very young, and she has little to remember him by, besides a small red scarf he gave her.
Masami grew up living in a temple, studying medicine with the aide of her mother and a small group of Kistune-wirshipping monks; she was treated like royalty. As a result, she has exspansive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of many creatures, including humans. She also studied fighting techniques in the temple, learning advanced sword techniques and fighting styles.

---

---

Masami inherited much from her mother. The most prominent inheritance is probably her manipulation over air.
She is capable of shaping, pressurizing, and doing all sorts of other feats. In note, this ability only causes blunt force unless she uses it in conjuction with her hilt. Additionally, she can only control it from up to 100 feet away.
However, Masami’s manipulation of air is powered by movement(for example to push someone with this, she has to throw a flat hand forwards to do so). This gives her opponents opportunity to interupt her if they are fast enough. She obviously must also have room to maneuver her body.

Masami was taught that the movement of one thing affects the movements of everything. As a result, she was trained for her mind to recognize all movement around her, even if she can’t normally see it. Using her eyesight, hearing, and the movement/changing of air and its position, she can detect any movement precisely, within fifteen feet of herself, and respond accordingly.

Even for a Kitsune, Masami is odd. Normally where a Kitsune would have a single Starball, she is accompanied by two(which when not in use, they float randomly around her, or she holds them in her mouth). Each ball is light blue, are about an inch in diameter, and emit their own magical energy which makes them immune to magic that would manipulate them(ex: if they were in a water form, you couldn’t manipulate them with water magic). Masami can control every aspect of these balls, from material, to movement, to size. She can make them produce heat or light, turn them into lava, make them up to two feet in diameter, etc. However, they must always remain a sphere.

Masami is in possession of a 20 inch straight hilt. She can channel one of her Soulballs through it by attaching it to the end of the hilt. She can then control the shape and material of the blade, as if it were a Soulball. She can only do so if she has possession of both Soulballs. Each Soulball can provide her two slashes, and then must recharge.

---

---

Anything Else:
-Masami’s favorite martial arts are Aikido & Wing-Chun.
-Masami’s Acute Mind Power is not affected by magic negation, and to negate her control over her Starballs, they must specifically be targeted themselves.
-Being a Half-Demon, Masami is capable of discerning Demon from Human with good accuracy. Something about their aura just sends her Starballs into a fit.
-Being part Kitsune, Masami’s senses of hearing and smell are increased somewhat. Hearing considerably so.
-Masami’s Starballs are an extension of her soul. For anyone who weilds (both of)her Starballs and wishes it, they have complete control over her actions. If one or more of her Starballs are weilded by another being, however, her powers will be weaker. Even moreso if they are both captured. She cannot control a Starball as long as it is in someone else’s hand.
-Masami’s Acute Mind Power works similarly to slowing time in her mind. It provides her time to think, maneuver, and plan her response to sensed movements.
-When Masami fights, she wears an animal skull over her face. While it doesnt protect her much, she just thinks it looks cool.

Aram's style is what some would call classical...definitely unique. To start off, one can regularly see Aram wearing a black pinstripe suit, accompanied by a fedora of the same shade, even in hot weather. One would also notice the black tie and dress shoes he wears that come with this attire.
His 'fashion sense' isn't where the weirdness ends, however. Along with his style of dress, Aram's manner of speech raises eyebrows where-ever he chooses to speak...and he talks a lot. Aram uses 1940's-esque Mafia slang in his everyday speech. Annoying to most, amusing to others.

Aram grew up in a fairly wealthy family, with a longggg line of fire-wielding magic users. One of the most prominent lines in the region. So when he was born with the ability to manipulate water...now that as a surprise. A true phenomenon.
Unfortunately for Aram, his family lived...in a desert. He had to adapt. He learned to manipulate small quantities of water with great precision and utility, rather than control larger bodies.
When it came to school, Aram was a particularly great student, and especially excelled in the sciences. So when his school offered a magical development program that focused on the application of sciences as its core principle, he couldn't pass it up.
At the ripe age of 15, Aram was shipped off to a development compound for a form of scientific magic called "Alchemy". And he excelled. By the age of 17, he had all but mastered his new form of magic. When he was finished with the program, he was sent to Rhea where, in his absence, his family had moved. Now living in Rhea, he joins the Vigilantes.


Aram has spent two years perfecting his use of Alchemy, and has essentially mastered it as well as he can. This science-based magic allows him to "transmute" mass into an object or entity of equal mass. This process generally follows these creed, as taught by the Administration of Alchemy:
▼ All transmutations require a transmutation circle, or a transmutation array.
▼ No mass can ever be created or destroyed; only altered into a different form.
▼ One must not transmute a human.
▼ One cannot create life, or revive life.
There are few exceptions to one or more of these rules; but these exceptions are often denied as truths.

When Aram uses Alchemy, black energy arcs from his hands, as well as the transmutation circle he is using.


Aram has the capacity to physically and chemically manipulate water as he wishes. By all knowledge, he can control every aspect of said water. However, he can only manipulate several gallons-worth at one time, and only from a maximum of 80 feet away.


• Aram always carries the necessary materials he needs for transmutations. Without fail, he carries a dark-gray satchel with him that holds several instances of art supplies, including, but not limited to: Pens, Pencils, Markers, Notebooks/Notepads, Parchment, Paints, Brushes, Chalks, and Ink.

Additionally, he carries four wooden plates in his satchel, each with transmutation upon them, and two air-tight bags of salt.

• Besides his already odd dress, Aram tends to wear multiple layers of shirts(2) under his normal clothing. In a pinch, he can use the material from the shirts for Alchemy.

• More importantly, Aram is equipped with a special piece of armor, which he dons on his left arm, under his suit. This arm piece runs from shoulder to fist, and is primarily black, with bronze-colored joint rings. On the palm is a transmutation circle specifically made for smaller transmutations.
If one where to examine the material of the piece, they would find that it is Graphene-synthesized Steel. This alloy is extremely good at conducting heat and electricity. Because of such, the interior of this armor is coated with a heat repelling, physical-shock absorbing foam that grants Aram a large degree of comfort and protection. Additionally, this alloy is repulsed to an extreme by magnets.

• While Aram isn't specifically trained to fight unarmed, he won't embarrass himself by doing so. He is however, very fond of most weapons that he can create with Alchemy. Swords being a forte for him.
It may seem odd, but Aram's highly advanced knowledge in Physics help him somewhat in combat, allowing him to throw his opponents off-balance, or over-power those he normally couldn't.

Likes:

• Animals
• Plants
• People
• Friendliness
• Alchemy

Dislikes:

• Fire
• People more serious about things than her
• Fish
• Evil-doers!

After hours of meditation, Jirachi is capable of synthesizing a bundle of seeds. These seeds can have varying effects, which are decided by her. Her preferred use of these seeds is to protect herself or others:
○ Seed of Growth - This seed summon the vitality of the earth, causing vines, roots, and other tangible greens to grow violently out of the Earth in a simple fashion she desires.
○ Seed of Nurturing - This seed blooms into a large bulb large enough to encompass a person. Stepping inside of this pod and having it close around someone will slowly begin to heal their external wounds. After several minutes, burns, scrapes, cuts and other small un-pleasantries will heal, usually painlessly. Spending a significant amount of time in this pod will heal larger wounds. And the floating spores inside even taste like fruit juice!


After hours of meditation, Jirachi is capable of synthesizing a bundle of seeds. These seeds can have varying effects, which are decided by her. While using them offensively isn't her favorite application for them, and she isn't as good at making these as she is at the protective ones, sometimes it is necessary:
○ Seed of Rebellion - This seed delivers a sort of distress beacon to the energies within the earth, calling for magical aid. The Earth returns this call by summoning an elemental, which forms of vines, roots, and various plants to help Jirachi.
○ Seed of Punishment - This seed calls upon the roots of the Earth to condemn those deemed enemies by Jirachi. It lies a trap in wait(or activates immediately) for an enemy. When it is triggered, it attempts to snare the target, rooting them in place and growing over them to restrict movement.


Because of her status as a Satyr, Jirachi has some advantages that others do not. Due to the anatomy of her legs and their natural strength and structure, she can move very quickly, and jump a couple times greater the distance a human can.
Additionally, her senses are slightly increased. Especially her hearing and peripheral vision.
Noticeable alterations to her mostly human physique are her horns, her small, deer-like tail, and her digitigrade legs.



• Jirachi's seeds of Growth, Rebellion, and Punishment are all subject to various additional installations, such as poisonous barbs, cactus spines, or poison ivy.
• While she's meditating is one of the few times Jirachi can fully focus. She has explored her mind and the world around her during meditation, and feels comfortable in this state, despite any conditions that may be affecting her physical body.
• Jir's goat-ness ceases only a couple inches above her knee. Notably, while she is in deep meditation, the entire bottom half of her body becomes goat-like.
• Jiracahi is decently-taught in using tonfas for self-defense, as well as close-quarters combat.
• Jirachi's meditation takes 1-2 hours to synthesize seeds, and yields anywhere between four to six seeds. Three of the seeds will be Seeds of Hope, while one to three seeds will be Seeds of Wrath.

Name:

William Ascot, or just Ascot.

Age:

16

Grade:

2nd Year, St. Laurel's school of Academic Excellence.

Biography:

William Ascot was not born to wealth, but nor was he poor either. He lived in the comfortable middle, although he and his family had an ability that could have gotten them immense wealth and power had they been interested in it. They were not, as they preferred the simple pleasures of life, like parks, walks, and (for Ascot's parents) a good scrap from time to time. For Ascot's family, the, well, Ascots, were blessed by the God of Stories with one purpose in mind: Record the ongoing story of Humanity. Of course, this meant documenting not just the good things that happened in life, but also countless tragedies, accidents, and misunderstandings.

So being human, the Ascots 'creatively reinterpret' their orders to allow them to 'modify', 'alter', or even 'outright rewrite' said stories to get a happier ending. The God of Stories never complained about this meddling in the history of humanity, as long as the Ascots did not take all the spotlight for themselves or take control of everyone and everything in a burst of megalomania. After all, sometimes, maybe the Ascot's 'revisions' of the script made for a happier story where those who worked for a happy ending earned them.

Either way, Ascot was an ordinary kid in St. Laurens whose only special trait was being in the library most of the time, as he had a special pass that allowed him to skip several class periods to spend in the library. Then Alto was defeated by that Clara woman, and Ascot had a sneaking suspicion that he had fallen in love with her. Whether that was true is immaterial; what is true is that there was a story that lurked behind the antagonism beteween St. Laurel's and Mephisto's School. And so he will seek out that story, and 'guide' it to a heartwarming conclusion...

Powers:

Core Power - Narrative Role of Familiarity: To get a story, sometimes one has to get close to people. This power makes doing that easier by making people think William Ascot is part of their inner circle. For example, Ascot can use NRoF to give himself the 'Narrative Role' of 'Student Council Member', making people beleive that Ascot is genuinely part of the Student Council. He can also make himself seem as though he were a Mephisto's School for the Wicked Student, or a senior member of the Vigilantes. It is even rumored that Ascot has already done so a few times to discover needed information.

That said, there are drawbacks: Narrative Role of Familiarity does not alter one's abilities, powers, or physical capabiliites. That means that you can make yourself part of a paratrooper unit yet not be able to use a parachute right. Or join a world-class chef competition yet not be able to cook. So Ascot has to be careful. Not just that, but Anti-Magic can break NRoF when Ascot is touched by someone with this power.

First Power - Existing Role Duplication Technique: When William Ascot sees a power used, he can store the knowledge of how said power works in his head temporarily. This means that for every time Ascot sees a fireball being used or a bolt of darkness being launched, he can copy said fireball or ball of darkness as many times he had seen it used. Of course, this is limited; if Ascot witnesses a fireball being used six times, he can only launch fireballs six times. Not just that, but Ascot cannot copy Core and Third Powers.

Update: William's limits are further tightened by a 'time requirement'; he must have been with the person whose powers he imitates for a long enough period to study their powers closely in order to store said imitated powers indefinitely. People whom he's only known for a day or so can only have their powers duplicated for a week before Ascot loses the ability to use them.

Second Power - Area Interrogation Method: Ascot can go to the highest part or lowest depth of a building, and conjure up the Spirit of the structure to answer any questions the boy has about what went on in any part of the area, including the grounds included as part of the legal property. Of course, the drawback to this is that it'd be risky for him to go to the top or bottom basement of say, Mephisto's School/St. Lucifer's.

Third Power - Nakama Dedication Technique: William Ascot draws together a close group of friends, which may or may not include himself, and blesses them with the power of the God of Stories. As long as they remain friends dedicated to a purpose the God of Stories deems sufficiently important, they become luckier, stronger, and faster as long as they keep trying to fulfill the said purpose. However, there are two drawbacks.

One, if you abandon your purpose or your friends, you become un-luckier, weaker, and slower; the effects of this last for a vague amount of time determined by the GM. Two, if the close group of friends voluntarily disbands, the effects end, but without further repercussions.

Fourth Power - Honorable Adventurer Earnings Technique (NEW!): - A weaker version of one Anna Suvurova's 'Money Contract', this power generates a small amount of gold, silver, or other valuable materials once a day, when William gets money through a legal source as long as he has a legal copy of the contract. This amount is 'capped' at a third of what he earns. Shoud William have multiple legal sources of money through multiple jobs, the power only gives additional gold/silver/valuable materials for the highest-paying job.

Fifth Power - Grimorie of Narrrative Cost; Penknife of Dreams: All stories require a conflict, all stories have a cost. If nothing is at risk, it is not fun to read. But the Ascot bloodline can pay the cost of a heroic story with their own blood so that others do not have to. With a motion, William Ascot can conjure up the Grimorie of Narrative Cost and the Pennknife of Dreams, which if used to cut one of his veins, can be used to write on the Grimorie on his own blood in order to regain powers he had already imitated and lost, as well as boost them to insane levels. The more blood he uses to write on the pages, the more powers he regains or the more power he gets. And yes, it is possible to lose enough blood that William dies.

Drawback: Blood spent this way cannot be regained by magic, but mundane blood transfusions will still work.

Relationships:

Alto Ganze - I believe he is in love with Clara.

Clara Deimos Edrigan - She hates him, obviously, but hate can change...

King - I want to know more about him!

Katherine Abigail - While she is a good person, I usually keep away from her lest I be treated to unintentional fanservice. Should not someone make fireproof clothes for her?

Brutus Reinhardt - Brutus cannot counter my powers, but I am slightly afraid of him anyway. I must keep out of his way unless I am using Narrative Role of Familiarity on him or are otherwise friendly.

Bak Tsarvena - I pity her, and I hate the possibility of getting close to her and betraying her. But at the same time, her launching missiles at people is just...wrong. Plus she's in the way of Alto/Clara.

Ria Kohler - I must keep away from her; her eyes can detect lies and my necessary guile involves a lot of lies. Plus she's just a rude and abrasive person.

Rurik Aleexev - An interesting guy, but why is he in Mephisto's anyway?

Zachery Smith - He is so interesting. Kind, just, dedicated to fighting the Ancient Evil, he is almost perfect except for his slight fixation on revenge, and even then he does not let that blind him. I must genuinely befriend him.

Sidney - I would like to use my powers to make myself his best friend...then give him a taste of his medicine by betraying him, ruining his plans, and then tossing him off a cliff on fire.

Liselotte - A nice person, a kind person, an elegant person...shame someone else is already in love with her. I will not get in the way.

Christine Abigail - I do not dislike her; she's not really that bad a person. But I don't like being flashed! That said, though, Rurik is lucky to have her.

Cassius - His persistence and endurance and determination to make the most of his powers is something to be admired.

Cyan 'Tails' Bridget - You don't know me, but I know you. You're better than you think you are and you don't deserve to have other people be jerks to you. I hope Samoth protects you.

Michael Angle - Of all the Students whose lives I know, I sympathize with you the most. You are good, you embrace the outcasts of the world, you abhor hypocrisy. I will help you. I will cast aside my own plans to help you, because I like you. That said, perhaps getting Alto and Clara together can help you as well?

Gillam - Try and eat me and I'll give you a stomachache!

Andreim Volkazar - Your analysis comes off as arrogance, but I love the story of you and Lise, and I see the tragedy of your life and wish to rewrite it. So if you think I can help you, call me.

Vernon Gire Jester - Your body attracted me at first, but it was your mind that kept me. You are smart, you are wise, and you bring a smile to my face.

Myself, William Ascot - I am not perfect, and I am aware that there is only a slight difference between my 'necessary guile' and the vilest fraud and betrayal. That's why I only betray those who plan to hurt the innocent and deceive only to save lives and preserve hope. Mephisto's has those people. But not all of them are bad. Sometimes, the outcasts of this world need a place that we cannot grant. So I keep myself wishing to grant a happy ending to those who wish to earn it. Vernon, my love, keep me grounded so that I do not overreach myself...

People Ascot have discovered in the Game:

Vittorio Twinveil - I cannot ask you to stop hating Alto; I won't ask you to stop hating Alto. But please, be my friend! I want you to have a friend again before you resume your quest for vengance!

Alexandra Sova/Andras - People should not be so skeptical of your ability; we live in a world of powers, after all!

Name: Liselotte Castellan de Valois-Saint-Remy (or Lise)

Age: 16

Grade: 1st year, in St. Laurels High School.

Appearance:

Carries a parasol around. Has a large wardrobe of Victorian clothing, but she has recently decided to adopt a more modern style.

Biography: Lise was born to a lonely but massive manor in the countryside, where time seemed to have stopped progressing. Exploring the halls of the giant estate was her main source of enjoyment, along with playing with her ever-present domestic servants. Due to an unexpected twist, her two parents insisted that she "broaden her horizons" by going to a more urban setting. For Lise, this is the first time she has ventured to a school, previously being taught only by well-paid tutors.

Lise has spent her life being pampered and treated as royalty, so moving to a new school is a bit of a culture shock to her. She has a morbid curiosity about what the commoners of the school do in their spare time, but at the same time insists she is above it all (while still being fascinated by it). She has a bit of a haughty streak, being raised as a modern-day princess, and holds her pride high, but she also just wants to have some friends of her own deep down.

Powers:
Serviteur d'ombre: Lise was born with multiple shadows, none of which appeared to be hers. These shadows are at least somewhat intelligent, and follow Lise's commands. They fulfill their duty and return to Lise's shadow once done, allowing them to return to Lise even if some kind of wall or barrier is put into place between them. Damage done to the servants will make them dispel, especially if the damage is of some kind of light energy. Due to Lise's personal tastes, the shadows generally take the form of maids and/or butlers, though their forms are rather incorporeal and hard to make out much beyond that. A curious sideaffect of her power is that Lise does not have a shadow if she has any shadow servants deployed.

Force d'ombre: Lise's shadows are very strong individually, but conserve strength based on how many are active at once. One servant has basic super strength, but ten servants only have one-tenth of that ability.

Apesanteur d'ombre: Lise's shadows have no real physical form to them, allowing them to move silently and weightlessly. This also allows them to move in ways that are normally impossible, such as jumping straight upwards a hundred feet, running on walls, and sticking to ceilings.

Manieres d'ombre: Lise's shadows are well-versed in all maidly and butlerly duties, including, but not limited to: dressing, bed-making, tea time etiquette, clothes-washing, dinner etiquette, housekeeping, bowing respectfully, and curtsying.

Relationships:
Alto Ganze: Though she carries respect for him, his light-based abilities scare her at least a little, and can't relax around him.
Clara Deimos Erdrigan: Though she would fight her if it was for her school's reputation, the fact that she beat Alto concerns her greatly.
King: As actual royalty, Lise is disgusted that someone would just declare themselves king. She would definitely love to see him defeated.
Cyan Bridget: A classmate that she enjoys teasing. She is a bit more interested in his mundane upbringing than she'd let on, but of course she hides it.

Name: Christine Abigail, nicknamed The Snow Princess, or, to the people who knew her well, The Pantless Princess

Age: 18

Grade: High school, 3rd year

Biography:
Even though she was born to a rich family, her family wasn't controlling at all. Instead, she pretty much was free to do anything she wanted, including participating in battles with her superpower. Her parents were businessman, and they were barely home most of the time, giving free reign of her household to their daughter.

From a distance, she looked like the perfect princess, kind and gentle to everyone she met. A bit airheaded perhaps, but that just added to her charm. However, most people didn't know that underneath the winter coat she always wore, she wasn't wearing any skirt. They thought she simply wore a short skirt that got covered entirely by her coat. Only people who were lucky enough to see her coat fly up would discover the truth.

Oh my, so you saw? Well, if you have to ask, I simply don't like wearing anything down there. It's too warm for me, you see.

She fought her battles with a smile, thinking how fun it was to be able to unleash her power. So in that respect, she was kind of a blood knight as well.

Thank you for this fun battle! I hope we can fight against someday!

Even though she was all airheaded, she would gladly discipline any students that stepped out of line as she was a member of the Student Committee after all. Those poor souls would think twice of underestimating her just because of how she looked and acted.

Powers:
Her core power is the blessing of the Goddess of Cold. She could freeze anything that made contact with her body. Her body temperature was also colder than your usual human. She also possessed an incredible resistance to extremely cold temperatures. Her style of fighting was mostly immobile, with her manipulating ice and snow to throw at her opponents.

1. Icemaker
Creates ice constructs frozen from the surrounding air to float around her. She could manipulate them freely, sending them to attack the enemy or to block an enemy's attack.
2. Freezing Atmosphere
Lowers the temperature around her to below zero degree celsius. The colder it is, the more taxing it would take to her stamina. It created an advantage for her as it drained her opponent's stamina while she was just fine with the cold.
3. Blizzard
Call down heavy wind and snow to surround her, acting both as a defensive and offensive move. She hadn't mastered this yet completely as her sight was still somewhat restricted by the swirling snow. And she couldn't use this move for a long time as it drained her stamina even more than her Freezing Atmosphere

Relationships:
1. Katherine Abigail
Her twin sister. They lived together in their mansion even though they went to different schools. She didn't really mind the fact that they belonged in different factions. Even though that would make them have to fight each other in the tournament, she trusted that her sister would go all out against her, the same way she would. A battle where you hold back is less fun than a battle where you go all out after all.
2. Rurik Alexeev
Her sorta kinda boyfriend. The sorta kinda part is because they aren't really a pair of passionate lovers. They mostly just enjoy each other's company very much. Even though Christine was already 18, her mind was not filled with the thoughts of romance whatsoever. But if asked, she would indeed answer that Rurik was her boyfriend.
3. Clara Erdrigan
She respected her very much, though sometimes she thought she could be too serious for her own good. Unlike Rurik, she tried to help with her tasks as the Comittee Leader.
4. Bak Tsarevna
She didn't quite understand her. Why was she glaring at her so much? She also wished she would tone down her usage of missiles towards Rurik.
5. Sidney Henderson
As expected from her, she was totally oblivious to his true nature. She just thought she was merely a shy flower boy.
6. Gilliam Dewitt
She never saw his eating power in action directly. If she ever had, she would probably be scared of the guy! Geez, she too was a big eater but not to that level!

The Girl Who Yearns for The Skies

Age: 17

Grade: 2nd year of Rhea. Affiliated with Vigilante.

Biography:
Freedom has always been a dream of hers.

She was born with a rare genetic defect that made her muscles weak, including her heart's. That kept her in her bed for most of her life, unable to go out there and function like a normal person as the burden would be too much for her body. Even the mere act of standing was a struggle to her.

It all changed when her power awakened. With her ability to control weight, she could float at will and not have to exert herself. It gave her the freedom she always yearned. It even allowed her to attend public school, as she had always been home-schooled ever since little.

Her weak constitution also made her take learning her power absolutely seriously, resulting in her absolute mastery over it. That made her to become quite the monster in a fight, and she used that ability to participate in the many informal fights in the town, aiming for the prize money. Her goal? To be able to participate in the new, experimental therapy that supposedly could cure her genetic defect.

Personality:
Back when her power had not awakened yet, she was a bitter, jaded child. She was constantly jealous of others who got to live the life she had always wanted.

But now, she is a far more cheerful and carefree person. She always freely laughs and giggles at anything she finds funny or interesting and she always says anything that's in her mind. She's also quite the pervert, not caring if people see up her skirt as she floats around wearing them. "They're free to ogle if they want," she said with a smile. On the other hand, she also likes to lift up skirts and pull down pants using her power. She finds it really funny every time they get all embarrassed. "Hey, no need to be all prudish. We all have hit puberty here, haven't we?" she said with a grin.

She values freedom above all else. Her life is too short and precious to be limited by those pesky things called "rules", "regulations", or even "social decency".

Powers:
Core power: Weight manipulation
She has full control of the weight of her own body. From making it as heavy as a fully loaded truck, to making it practically weightless. She could even give it negative weight so it would float upwards instead.

Sub power 1: Weight alteration touch
She could also manipulate the weight of other objects or even a person as long as she touches them first. The effect isn't permanent however and she would have to touch them again to reapply the effect. The effect lasts around one minute.

Sub power 2: Partial weight change
With her absolute mastery over her power, she could change the weight of her body parts in a split second, allowing her to land punches and kicks with much more force than they should have. She also could use this with a weapon, though she usually fights bare-handed. She also could use this to dodge attacks, sharply moving her body to one direction with the shift in weight.

Relationships:

Name:
Cassius Germaine, Snap.

Age:
17

Grade:
St Laurels High School, 2nd year.

Biography:
The Germaine family moved to Rhea when Cassius was fairly young, his memories of his life before Rhea were blurry, far, and few inbetween. Nevertheless, his parents found jobs that jobs that paid a little more than the average and as such Cassius lived a relatively lax life. Even though his parents let him choose which school to do to, he pushed himself to be able to attend the prestigious St laurels High School.

His powers were the thing that worried his parents the most, while powerful and explosive it certainly does affect Cassius- whom now permanently dons gauze bandaged arms, and legs. A few months of tinkering with his gift, he has built up a small obsession with strengthening his powers, either through improving the power or tactical usages. As such he has built up a respectable pain threshold.

He figured the best way to improve was to enter tournaments, as such he has taken to doing so despite his parents worry. Though he really does not care much for his rankings, not minding a lost or such as long as he gained some insight on how to improve his power he was satisfied.

People generally say that Cassius is absent minded during school hours despite getting decent, above-average grades. However when he sets his mind to something that interests/fascinates him he builds up a frightening tenacity towards the goal. He has a discerning eye, being able to (usually) tell a person's disposition despite false smiles given. Other than that he is gives off a happy, if neutral disposition towards others he meets, and can be said to be agreeable in most instances. His 'dust it off my shoulder' attitude makes him a pretty hard guy to anger, usually letting alot of things go despite him being wronged.

Powers:
Combustion Inducement
He was given a blessing from the God of 'Fire', whom found it funny to have his ability harm the recipient. He has the ability to increase the kinetic speed of atoms, allowing him to ignite it at will. The increasing of kinetic speed has to stem from his body, and as such he is able to use it from any facet of his body. Explosions usually follow a straight line towards the enemy, Cassius is free to increase or limit the intensity of his powers, making a large explosion or a smaller, but very accurate, streamlined attack. An odd facet from his ability is that you can hear what sounds like a finger snap whenever he uses his powers, it is caused by the instantaneous speed at which the highly concentrated gases and sparks react together and crack. Though unnecessary, he also snaps his fingers when using his hands, earning him his epithet.



Relationships:

Katherine Abigail
"Her power is very, very similar to mine. Interesting."
Cassius has a strong respect and empathy for her, as both have similar powers. He is glad that she does not have to suffer direct injury to herself, but feels a bit slighted at the fact that the powers 'given' to him seems to be the same or a very similar god yet he gets hurt with his. He doesn't hold it against her though, instead he directs it at nothing. Other than that they are very occasional powers during some doubles in official or unofficial tournaments. As such they've built up a friendship with her. He might not be aware of it but he harbours a small crush on the girl.

Ria Köhler
"Heard she's got quite a tongue, though I myself can't say much since I don't see her around often."
Other than passing each other in the hallway, or her odd appearance during lunch hours, he hasn't ever acquainted himself with Ria. As such he has not mind up his mind about her. He does think her powers are very strong, and having heard she was scouted for the vigilante group, he wasn't surprised.

Cyan Bridget
"Solid, and genuine personality, atleast I think so."
The way they met, acquainted, and eventually befriended each other was fairly non-descript, and simple. They just happened to meet each other during the lunch lane, decided to sit and eat together. Since then, if timing allows it, they eat lunch together and have random, trivial discussions about subjects such as events, school, or even their powers. In terms of powers, Cassius has vested a fair interest in Cyan's powers, thinking it to be unique and cool. He empathizes with how his ability has the power to backfire on him, expressing his sympathies.

Name: Michael Angie
Nicknames: Michelangelo


Age: 16

Grade: 2nd year, Vigilante from Mephisto's

Biography:
Michael grew up in a poor family with a single mother, who barely made ends meet to put food on the table. It wasn't much, but it was enough for the two to be happy enough. At least, it was enough, until one day a bully began to make his life miserable. The bully in question had influential parents as well, making it difficult to punish him. As a result, Michael couldn't do much to lessen the abuse he was receiving. He tried asking for help from friends and teachers, but both chose to look the other way. Coincidentally, the bully's father was also Michael's mother's boss, who was also undergoing some troubles of her own at work. Michael was left alone, with nothing but his family and the occasional stray animal for support. He liked animals, even if he couldn't afford to keep a pet.

As time passed and everyone discovered their powers, the bullying only became worse. The bully had obtained a typical steel-skin super strength ability while Michael found himself with a paintbrush. Needless to say, it was torture. However, Michael was not helpless. While all this was happening, Michael did what he could to figure out how his power worked and how best to apply it. He worked hard, and it eventually paid off. Michael found himself being able to stand on equal ground against the bully, and eventually overpowered him. The bully's father attempted to get payback, but the company found evidence of the father's harassment, as well as embezzling of the company's money, and was promptly fired. Michael's mother was also promoted to a higher position, and the two were able to live more comfortably. With the bully out of sight and out of mind, things were looking up.

As Michael grew up, he'd been overhearing classmates say that they wanted to go to good schools and be heroes, some even aiming for St. Laurals. He couldn't help but think about his past, how easily they had turned away from someone who needed help, and then claim that now they wanted to help people. If people were like that in St. Laurals, then what was the point of going there? He could no longer trust people who made claims like that, and eventually found himself not trusting heroes in general. There was no need to rely on someone else to save you; just find your own power and save yourself. That was his motto in life. So, instead of aiming for St. Laurals himself, he went for Mephisto's instead. His mother was understandably concerned, but Michael reassured her and managed to convince her to let him go. As a condition, though, he had to apply to be a Vigilante, which he figured he could live with. Sure, he spent most of his time there going after lost animals and doing community service, but that was fine.

Powers: Artwork: This power manifests itself as a simple paintbrush. The brush is capable of changing form, ranging from ones used for calligraphy to those you'd typically see with paint cans. The brush uses ink that seems to drain his stamina the more he uses up. The ink seeps through clothing, allowing it to reach the skin easily, and cannot be removed by normal means once applied. As for his drawings, their effects range on what they are, as well as his intentions upon drawing them. The larger and more detailed the designs, as well as how strongly his intentions correspond with the symbols he draws, the stronger the effects, and vice versa.

• Fast Hands: With his brush in hand, Michael paints at a higher rate than normal humans, using up less time to paint his symbols.
• Body Art: By drawing patterns and/or symbols, Michael can apply a series of buffs and/or debuffs, involving things such as increasing strength and speed as well as robbing limbs of movement. Given enough time and effort, even certain powers can be sealed or boosted, though this requires an extensive amount of ink to accomplish, typically involving full-body coverage. Inanimate objects are not immune from his ink, either, and can be weakened or strengthened accordingly. His Body Art will last for as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be dispelled by him at any time.
• Trap Art: By drawing a circle filled with patterns and/or symbols, Michael creates a trap waiting to be sprung at his command. Different symbols with create different effects, but most involve restraining and/or disorienting targets. These can also be painted on virtually any solid surface, including peoples' bodies. Unfortunately, unlike Body Art, the effects of Trap Arts are temporary once they are sprung, with even some of the best lasting roughly an hour, while the worst last about a second. Of course, even that is assuming that the one affected isn't strong or skilled enough to break free from his Trap Arts.
• Creation Art: Michael draws a picture of an object, and is able to construct said object into reality. The larger and/or more detailed said pictures are, the more powerful or larger the objects can be constructed. Unlike Body Art or Trap Art, which are composed solely of ink, Creation Art constructs can be composed of other materials. These constructs will last as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be deconstructed by him at any time. They can be combined with Trap Arts, but will disappear with the Trap Art when it expires.
• The Ink Flows: Michael can manipulate the existing ink he has created, creating or altering new and existing Body and Trap Arts.

Relationships:

• Alto Ganze: Michael deems him a difficult challenge to overcome. His Light abilities will make him too slippery for Michael to restrain easily, and Michael would potentially get taken out before anything could be set up. He is still currently researching and experimenting with how to successfully win in this fight.
• Clara Deimos Edrigan: Michael finds her nerve wracking, and is unsure if a fight with her would even be a wise option. Nevertheless, he figures that if he can get to Clara's grimoire and seal it up, it would be a won fight. The only problem is actually getting to that step.
• King: Weird. Just..... weird. DO NOT ENGAGE. Concede the fight and run. Michael is all about close combat, making King's ability to fly a complete counter. Fortunately, it seems that as long as he a Vigilate, that fight may not come to pass.
• Katherine Abigail: Concede. The heat is too much, in more ways than one.
• Brutus Reinhardt: Michael has a silent respect for the guy, not needing to say much to do things. Be careful and win the battle of attrition.
• Bak Tsarevna: Michael thought there wasn't anyone weirder than King. He was wrong. Get close and take out the armaments before she took him down first.
• Ria Köhler: Michael does not like her. Her attitude could need some adjusting. Then again, she's still better than the others at St. Laurals, and she has the skills to back it up. For that, he respects her. If they were to fight, Michael figures that blinding her with his Arts is his best bet to victory.
• Rurik Alexeev: Michael would rather not interact with him too much. Michael is the type to value hard work, and Rurik doesn't seem the type. His abilities prove terrifying, though. Something could go wrong even in the best plan.
• Zachery Smith: An interesting guy. People have always said that immortality is a curse. Michael wondered if that was true. Only time would tell.
• Samoth Maskono: Michael likes his style. Hardworking, even more so than himself. Michael does not often consider having allies, but if he had to have one, this man was perfect for the job. It would be a wise decision, considering his negation ability countered every ability Michael had.

Name:

Michelle Lien / Belinda Lien

Age:

16

Grade:

1st year St. Laurels

Biography:

Michelle's two personalities have known each other since the moment they were born, yet they could not be more different from each other at the time. Whereas the first Michelle was the kind, somewhat shy type, the second was more of a troublemaker. She took to teasing Michelle at every opportunity, threatening to kill bugs and throw rocks at dogs just to get a reaction out of Michelle. She often managed to get Michelle in trouble for various misdemeanors, and it took a large amount of time to get through the various punishments. The two argued and fought with each other for years, and even her parents had little clue how to handle this problem. It didn't help that the two developed their own powers, which tended to escalate the destruction to their surroundings.

One day, Michelle decided that enough was enough and let her second personality take control. The second, surprised, was at a loss on what to do for the first time. At first, she tried to live life as Michelle did, and it turned out to be surprisingly difficult for her. Then she had the realization that she was acting like a fool trying to live like her "weak self". She attempted to amuse herself with her various shenanigans, but it soon became clear that without Michelle, she was only harming herself, and it simply wasn't as fun without her around. A month went by, and by that point, the second was in tears, praying for Michelle to come back. It was then that Michelle finally revealed herself, which surprised the second. Michelle revealed that she had never left, only shut herself away for a few days, and continued to watch for the rest of the month. After a bit of arguing, the two eventually reconciled and established a mutual relationship. Michelle decided to commemorate the event by giving the second personality a new name: Belinda.

Years passed, and the two learned to work together, sharing the various daily tasks of their lives. They learned about each other, and slowly grew to depend on each other to make up for the other's shortcomings. Together, they received relatively high marks on their respective subjects, and eventually made their way into St. Laurels.

Powers:

Yin & Yang: The two personalities have (relatively) equal control of this, using it to switch control between their body. Typically, both parties' consent is needed for the swap, but it is possible for one to force the swap and repress the other for a period of time. Megumi controls the Yang aspect, while Belinda controls the Yin aspect. The dominant personality will have their respective powers available, while the other's return to dormancy.

• (Yin) The Unstoppable Spear / (Yang) The Immovable Shield:
  Both weapons can be summoned from nothing, and will return to their arms when willed to.
  The spear has a sharp tip, capable of slicing and piercing through even diamond without any noticeable resistance. The shaft is flexible, yet sturdy, and can retract and extend at will.
  The shield, a large round shield, is powerful and will block many a powerful attack, whether physical or magical. It also generates a barrier in front of it to absorb even more damage.
• (Yin) Armor of the Dragon / (Yang) Armor of the Guardian:
  Both replace the clothes currently worn.
  The Armor of the Dragon appears as large red scales providing very minimal defenses of the vitals. It provides a sharp increase to speed and agility. Two large, leathery wings can also be summoned on Belinda's back to allow for flight.
  The Armor of the Guardian appears as a full set of white-and-red plate mail armor. It is heavy, not allowing for much movement, but grants plenty of protection in return. It also generates an aura capable of reducing the damage and effectiveness of attacks nearby.
• (Yin) Blink / (Yang) Wall of Attention:
  Blink allows Belinda to perform a short-range teleportation. The only notifications given are a short and loud "pop" noise and a small cloud of black smoke that appears at where Belinda was before. It can be spammed, but will quickly exhaust Belinda if used recklessly.
  Wall of Attention is a taunt-ability that forces nearby opponents to focus on her, and causes attacks to be redirected to her. However, with enough willpower, enemies can tear away their focus from Michelle, or even not be affected in the first place. Attacks already in motion, however, remain affected.

Relationships:

St. Laurals:

• Alto: Michelle sees him as an inspiration for the St. Laurals students. Belinda wants to test her strength against his one day.
• Katherine: Michelle sees her as someone easy to get along with. Belinda will take any opportunity to tease her about her fire abilities' side effect with her clothes.
• Christine: Michelle gets embarrassed easily when she sees Christine's "exposed areas". Belinda sees her as a fellow battle enthusiast, and genuinely likes her.
• Ria: Michelle doesn't get along with her. Belinda gets along with her even less, and believes the feeling is mutual with Ria.
• Samoth: Michelle has a rather massive crush on him. Belinda hates him, but will use him to tease Michelle about her affection.
• William: Michelle doesn't know what to think of him. Belinda thinks there's something off about him, and would rather keep her distance.
• Liselotte: Michelle can get along with her better than some, being used to having plenty of luxuries in life herself, and wants to help Lise get a little more used to a "commoner" lifestyle. Belinda just sees her as one of the few she doesn't mind spending time with.
• Meredith: Michelle sees her as an extremely beautiful person, wondering how she could look even remotely that good. Belinda wants to play around with Mer's breasts, but usually refrains for Michelle's sake.

Mephisto's

• Currently no one.

Vigilantes:

• Melanie: Michelle loves spending time with her. Belinda is fascinated by her soullessness and wonders how it works, and wonders what it means for her own existence.

Name: "Gourmand" Gilliam DeWitt
Age: 16
Grade: 1st year, Mephisto
Backstory: 14 years ago, a small, remote village was found empty. Aside from a few patches of bloods, there were no remains whatsoever. The only survivor was a young Gilliam, who was found eating a large bear a few days later. Unfortunately, he was found by representatives from Mephisto's School. He was adopted, and from a young age groomed as an assassin.

His childhood was a lonely one. He learned not to try to eat random people pretty fast, and was taught to be both a ruthless killer and a perfect gentleman. Now properly enrolled at the school, he seeks to make friends and also maybe eat some strong enemies.

Powers:
Core Power: No Anatomy: Gilliam usually appears human, but in reality his form is completely malleable. He can absorb living things into his form, and reshape himself as he likes.
Shape shifting: Gilliam can reshape his body however he wishes. While he takes the appearance of a somewhat tall young man, in reality he is an 500 pound blob of biomass. He can replicate any organs or tissues a human has. For example, he can give himself extra arms, or make scythes of bone to cut people up with, or reshape his entire body to fit through a three-inch wide pipe. He can't copy foreign objects, but he can eat them and integrate them into his body. Finally, he can use this power to change his appearance and voice, and can copy anyone he has seen and heard before. He's not the world's best actor, though, so people close to the target might catch him.
Regeneration: Gilliam can reshape himself to heal from most wounds. If an arm is sliced off, he can just pick it up and stick it back on. He could also regrow it, though it takes a few seconds. Burn wounds from fire or acid actually take several days to heal, and a strong electric shock will make him unable to heal for a few minutes.
Omnivore: Gilliam can eat pretty much anything with no ill effects. Eating things that could conceivably be considered 'food' (e.g. sandwiches, babies or cake) will add to his biomass. Eating inanimate objects lets him graft them onto his body. For example, if he ate a bunch of knives he could sprout them from his fingers to make claws. He often digs through the trash to eat random things.

Relationships:
Bak Tsarevna: A total cutie! Gilliam would be honored to devour her corpse upon her demise.
Rurik Alexeev: Ah, a bit foolish, but a valuable member of the team all the same. And very nice. Gill finds it amusing that Rurik seems frightened of him.
Sidney: Very pretty. Gilliam would love to eat him, because he must be very healthy. But then who would Gilliam tend the gardens with?
William Ascot: Completely trustworthy, Gilliam believes Ascot would never betray anyone.
Alto Ganze: As the president of St. Lauriel's, Gilliam would like to see Alto destroyed. However, Alto's power directly counters his, so Alto is one of the few people Trevor actually fears.
Clara Deimos Erdogan: As a loyal student of Mephisto's, Gilliam respects and admires Clara. He would one day like to attempt to battle her. He has no desire to depose her. Rather, he wants to test his abilities.
King: Gilliam finds him somewhat insufferable, and would like to kill and eat him one day.

Name: Andreim Volkazar, nickname "Thermometer"



Age: 16

Grade: St. Laurels, 1st year.

Biography:

Born as the sole child of two parents whom had previously been teachers at St.Lucifer's school. But since two years ago both his parents were part of an accident which caused their deaths.
It was long believed, ever since he was born that he was going to be attending the school which his parents had worked at. But that idea was shattered when the boy in question sought entry into St.Laurel's school. Where all would know just who he was and who his parents were. The dishonor wrought upon the St.Lucifer's school by this apparant betrayal would had been grand. A thing St.Laurel surely wouldn't mind.

Against his dead parents wishes and the wishes of those whom shared their wicked intentions. He had during most of his life followed the whim of his both parents, though not without question and with disdain to some of the things they demanded.
Their ambitions were not the same as his own. His parents were also partly fearful of his powers, dreading to wound him during training or otherwise because of his poisonous blood. Thus he was kept at a distance by both family and their friends.

He did contribute on that part himself aswell, as he did not want to inflict pain on others unless there was a really good reason for it.
The ambition of the boy was to get to the top and from there make the world how he wanted it. Having been fed up with living his life to fill out some other peoples dreams rather than his own.
Freedom. All deserved the right to chose how they wish to live their life no matter how long or short it may be.

This mindset was something Andreim decided to take to heart. But even if people deserve the right to chose how to live, no matter who they would be there would always be people opposing them. That was fine though.
Andreim had been blessed twice with the powers now under his command, immense and powerful as they were. They could not grant him that one wish he craved more than any other.
To be rid of that cursed blood in his veins. That which kept him barred from contact with others, that which kept him physically exiled from one specific part of life.

Someday he would find a cure for it. Someday he would rid himself of that cursed metallic tainted blood and see her.

Young Lady Liselotte Castellan de Valois-Saint-Remy. Who he had unfortunately fallen for. He cursed that too. Love was a double-edged sword. A curse like the blood in his veins. A weakness. Something which could be exploited by his enemies.
He utterly despised it. Yet at the same time that girl had something. What was it? What was it that was driving him mad? She was the sole reason why he had applied to join St.Laurel's instead of St.Lucifer's. But he would never let anyone know about it. His weakness.
The idea of anyone harming that girl. It did not sit well with him at all.

When it came to personality, Andreim was generally calm and collected, prefering to analyze people in order how to best approach and deal with them. Both for fighting matters and social. He wasn't the best looking, nor the strongest, nor the fastest. But he was cunning and he had the most adaptable weapons at his command. His mind and the power to amplify it.
His voice is quite smooth and calm, but bears a kind of coldness to it. Like it would sound for someone partly cheated of life. He however has a habit of being very judgemental and arrogant, though most of the times he hides many of his darker thoughts behind a soft smile.

Powers:

Core power: Water manipulation

This is his core power. Andreim is able to create and control water. Not only water made by his own hands but all forms of it. He does however need to be in contact with it in some way in order to manipulate it.

Either by his own water coming into contact with like a fountain or pond. He may control boot-high water enough to fill up a warehouse. He may chose to gather it together to create a large wave aswell, or create a spinning water vortex under his feet which he can ride on to increase his movement while flinging spinning vortex-slices in an opponents way. These would bear a knockback force but not deal damage unless knocking an opponent into something or amplified into ice saw-blade like projectiles.

His water attacks generally consists of throwing blobs of water of different size and numbers, manipulate water like a whip constantly in motion or using jet attacks like a very strong firehose to pin or knock back opponents. Most of these attacks do not do any or very Little damage unless amplified into a ice or just using an overpowering amount of water like a large wave.

1st power: Thermal manipulation

Water may boil or become steam, it may also freeze. Thus Andreim may raise or lower the temperature in an area around him or a specific area of his choice within ten metres. The smaller the area he tries to change the more potent it is in heat/cold temperature.

He is highly resistant to heat and cold temperature effects himself though. But not the force of them. Example: Being hit by a shard of ice will damage him or getting thrown off his feet by a powerful fireball detonating on the ground before him.

Application examples of the power:

-Raise the temperature to a decent level that could cause people to faint due to heat if they stay in it long enough without any way to ward themselves from it.
-Lower the temperature to a decent level which could cause watery surfaces turn to ice and cause overall chilling cold.
-Raise temperature to a high level in a short area around him to create a barrier of heat enough to melt bullets. Things which cannot be affected by temperature bypasses this ofcourse like for example lightning bolts or energy beams.
-Lower the temperature on an object, ground or wall before reversing to intense heat to cause it to crumble.
-Use the the said power to create ice projectiles, ice walls, create jagged spikes of ice out from water, ice barriers from using his water manipulation prior or affecting another source which is temperature dependant.
-Use the power to create mist or steam after heating up a previously cold area.

2nd power: Power connection

He may use his thermal and aqua mastery to detect heat sources (his irises turn bright orange and glow, to his detriment sometimes) and he may also feel if someone is standing or walking in water under his control or dropping things into it.

3rd power: Mercury blood

Andreim should technically not be able to live. But he does. His blood and overall fluids are poisonous, thus he is dangerous to others, especially when wounded. He has however learnt to use this as a weapon.

If need be he may inflict a wound on himself and then let his blood follow his water attacks in an attempt to poison his enemies. His mercury poisoned blood however keeps him from getting close with people. His skin is oddly enough not toxic enough to cause any lasting damage other than perhaps a slight irritation.

Which is something that bothers him as he is in love with Lise. He also won't use his blood to damage people which he bears no ill intent towards. So if fighting against someone he doesn't consider an actual enemy, even in a tournament he would surely not use it.

4th Power: Tidal wave

Andreim has been training to use this as a surprise move during the tournament. Creating two-story building high wall of water, 1 metre thick and wide enough to fill a tournament field from one side to the other (the short end). This is his ultimate move created specifically as a last effort thing when all other things doesn't work, or that he has to finish up several opponents. The wall of water would first gather up around Andreim, on both sides of him but also a smaller layer in front and to the back, with just a small bubble for air around his head. Once gathered together Andreim can release or push forth this giant wall of water, turning it effectively into an enourmous tidal wave, the one that would just start to loom over you Before coming crashing down all over you if you happen to be on the receiving end, the amount of force it would slam down with would be very impressive and could very easily knock people uncouncious. Coupled with broken bones and water in the lungs, and so forth. The Power itself due to its size doesn't ignore allies caught in the area, so they get swept with it if they end up in front of it.

Name: Galbrek Ravenovich



Age: 17

Grade: 2nd year, St.Lucifer

Biography:

Galbrek Ravenovich. A half-demon. The name many of the students of St.Lucifers do not wish anything to do with, yet at the same time cannot do much about due to his family being a powerful force of evil. His ruthless and merciless nature precedes him wherever he goes. He is disliked generally by most except the most evil who find his demonic nature to be amusing, and perhaps some of the more chaotic people in the world.

Galbrek is outwardly first appearing to be very formal, polite and charming. Aswell as having no problems in adressing a larger crowd of people or having attention on him. Though this fascade usually breaks after awhile, and he reveals his true demonic self. An exploiting, dominating, leecherous and ruthless individual whom enjoys tormenting, humiliating or otherwise force people into a spot where they would feel controlled.

His targets usually be female, but he has also been prone to restrain and step on males. Some might think him oblivious to other peoples feelings and pain, but that is not quite the case. It is just that he does not care for their freedom, believing that power is the only thing which matters in the end.

What he cares for is personal enjoyment and stirring up trouble, if he can fling the world into chaos then he would do it. Though if said chaos would become too much then he would have to stop it before it gets out of hand. He does enjoy threatre and various plays though, tragic or otherwise. He prefers to make his own though, with the unfortunate people in his surroundings. Trying to puppeteer people into doing what he wants.

Galbrek has a demonheart at the end of the day, those which forget his nature are bound to find themselves tangled up into a mess.

Powers:

Core: Demonic marionetion

Galbrek uses his demonic powers to create humanoids which he refers to as dolls, they are made from a strange kind of clay rather than flesh and blood. They are hollow also on the inside, lacking internal organs and so forth. Yet they seem to have a soul of some kind, as they are very humanlike in their behaviour and strangely enough be capable of speech.

This is a magical effect much like their entire existance. They are all made with a different personality each, like the characters in a play. They also come equipped with different beliefs and values. Even some which may clash with their own creator.

So in a sense Galbrek is able to create an artificial form of life in the shape of a humanoid clay like human. They physically appear to be human however, bearing similar skin hues, working eyes and expressions on their faces. But once wounded they undoubtably reveal their true nature. They are slightly stronger than a average human, but against superhumans they are not likely to be able to keep up unless they are really lucky or outnumber their target.

Ultimately most of them tend to try follow out the wishes of their creator, be it out of a sense of duty, boredom, terror, enjoyment or disgust. Rebellion would mean certain death if found out. None of the dolls have plot armor and may come to be replaced eventually if they are killed.



1st power: Strings of the puppeteer

Galbrek is able to manipulate strings made of a strong elastic unknown material from each of his fingertips. It may be cut through however, but it does not make a good connector for electricity. Despite electricity can melt strings coming into contact with it.

He uses these to fight with, generally involving grappling people and applying pressure to them, making slicing attacks or just overall restricting peoples movements. Physically strong people may break free from the strings however, and they are not indestructible and thus may be destroyed.

2nd power: Demonic infusion

Galbrek may use the dark demonic energies to infuse power into his doll like servants, whom in turn can use it to make ray attacks, orb attacks, engulfing their fists in dark energies, create a dark energy barrier etc. Each doll is given only a single power and have a limit on how much they can use it and how effective it is depending on how much energy he puts into said doll. In a manner of speaking, it's pretty much an energy battery.

3: Grand performance

Using his charm and theatric moves, Galbrek is able to fascinate, paralyze or hypnotise people who watch him during a longer period of time without taking hostile action. Averting ones gaze from his eyes is a good way to avoid being affected or to be in a fighting mindset.

Galbrek uses this power mainly to try weaken people he has restrained or to have people part with valuable information or do something for him. The success of the power varies from target to target.

4: Improved dollmaking

Galbrek has through trial and error decided to make his Creations more sturdy, strong and fast in order to better serve him. An investment for the future as far as it concerns him. Someday he would surely be able to even create the 'perfect doll' which could realize his Dreams.

Name: Kanzael Laroud



Age: 27

Grade: None

Biography:

Kanzael has been an associate to Mephisto for at least 10 years, bringing in recruits for his school of the wickedly inclined, provided they have demonstrated interesting powers. Many have speculated where he comes from, but none has gotten a proper answer from him which they believe in to be the truth. As Kanzael is a man who puts on two different faces, depending on whom he is talking with and people generally have no clue which of the two is his real one.

The first impression people get from him is that he's generally a relaxed, cool and amusing person, which appears lighthearted and having a somewhat well-intent for people. Though after time or enough digging, some may find out that he has a darker side. Where he is manipulative, corrupting and prone to attempts to seduce others to commit evil or chaotic deeds. As if he finds enjoyment in making people fall deeper and deeper into the dark. He may appear as a friend to some and provide assistance, but usually hold back some information which he may possess. He holds no love for law and order, except following a tyrant if it will lead to more chaos.

A natural enemy of the law enforcement and those who fights to make Rhea and it's citizen's have upstanding citizens. Almost as if he gets a thrill by watching people fall from positions of grandeur, but he does step up to 'help' them at that point. Generally this means leading them towards a darker path where new ambitions would begin to form.

If engaged into a physical confrontation, Kanzael would try to talk things through before resorting to fighting. But if a fight is unavoidable then he is prepared to launch the first strike, generally from a very underhanded and dirty way. Such as using poisons, vision impairing or crippling things. He also has some sadistic tendencies, but generally stops before people are physically damaged for good. His relationships are best amongst the young, which he acts like a big brother type to. Providing those who want with illegal substances and weapons, and other things which aid in their fall into the dark.

Powers:

Core: Alchemical tinkerer

He possesses a vast knowledge into making alchemical ordnances, aswell as pills which imbue the consumer with detrimental or boosting properties such as enhanced stamina, resilience, strength and more. But his pills tend to have heavy withdrawal symptoms.

These ordnances, bombs, vials, potions and pills all compliment his weaponries in which he either creates things which poisons or drugs enemies, or inflict other crippling effects. Though in most cases they inflict instant effects such as bombs which explode. Kanzael's abilities are non-magical, thus they may bypass certain things which normally magic would be stopped at. But that aside he is generally alot physically weaker as hes not empowered, unless he takes his pills which temporarily empowers him.

1: Bright glove: A lightly armored glove (left hand) which can create a very powerful light as long as the hand is open. This is mainly used as a distraction or made to blind an enemy or illuminate an area. Kanzael uses this weapon very deceptively.

2: Cartridge cannon: A wrist bound cannon (left arm) which shoots alchemical bombs of different kinds. It contains several different cartridge magazines of various effects.

3: Syringe blade: A generally hidden, but extendable and powerful rapier looking blade (right hand) which is hollow on the inside and has several holes in the sides to it's very tip which is very sharp. This blade is sturdy and makes for good piercing and slashing attacks. Piercing attacks are generally alot more effective. The true purpose of this blade is to inject a target with an alchemical mixture.

Name: Melanie 'The Void' Hennar

Age: 16

Grade: Vigilantes

Biography:
Melanie had, arguably, a traumatizing childhood. At least, that's what her parents would tell her, but she's always had her suspicions. So the story goes, at her birth, the devil, a devil, a demon, or something else, with nothing better to do, came into the church upon her baptism, and ripped her soul from her young body. Nobody is exactly sure as to why the soul was pulled out of her, but pulled it was. There were a lot of witnesses, apparently, which Melanie has never had the fortune to talk to in person. The entire tale reeks of something made up, as nearly all the little details in it are constantly changing from her parents, and so she doesn't put much faith in it. Not that she cares much if the story was true or not, as in the end, not having a soul, or whatever the demon supposedly took, doesn't seem to have any negative effects, and quite frankly she's found some positives to the whole ordeal.

Her early life was, for the most part, spent in what many would consider bliss, or at least close to it, as close to it as one could get while not having a soul (Really the only negative to the story her parents told was the fact that they never stopped telling it and so everywhere she went, regardless of how nice it was, everyone eventually learned of her back story.) Which, when she was young, quickly led to fights, and then they'd all have to pack up and head somewhere else. This went on for some time before her parents got tired of moving (before Melanie did by the way) and decided to settle down at Rhea, because, they assumed, there were so many people there to share their story with, that the odds of Melanie making an enemy of the entire city were slim, if any. They also held hopes that she would be eventually drawn towards St. Laurel's. Plus, it was in this City were Melanie lost her soul in the first place, and if anywhere could help her get it back, then it was there.

However, it was at this point, when they took Melanie to visit the Church of the great theft, where their plans sort of, what many would call, nose dive. Instead of the young woman becoming interested in looking at the area where the most prized of her possessions was ripped out of her, her attention was drawn to the want ad to join the vigilantes, which she did, and from that point on, no amount of begging from her parents to try for something greater like St. Laruel's could change her mind.

Powers
Core Power Empty:As was stated from, above Melanie has no soul. None. In its place, Melanie is connected to an empty, hungry, space, existing outside of regular physics.
Sub-power 1 Remodel:Melanie is capable of changing the spacial dimensions of the place she's connected to. Increasing its volume increases the power of the vacuum, while decreasing the space allows her to increase the pressure inside the space.
Sub-Power 2 Window: Melanie can create openings into her personal space, in a variety of shapes, that take the form of glowing white areas. There's no known limit to the size or shape she can make the openings. However, the main limit to this ability is that the floating portals (those not directly connected to her body) are incapable of transporting anything denser than air. However, windows connected to her physical body do not have such issues. Also, it should be noted that Melanie is capable of making the openings work in multiple directions. It should be noted that the physical world reacts the same way to Melanie widow ability as empty space.
Sub-Power 3 Door:Melanie can phase herself out of this reality into her room, but only herself. She's limited to the amount of time she can stay in her room, which is based on the temperature and the amount of air available for her once she steps in. Once inside, Melanie is incapable of altering the room's dimensions.

*Brown Skin*

Name: Vernon Gire Jester

Age: 18

Grade: St. Lucifer's School For Peace And Wellbeing; 3rd year.

Biography:

Vernon doesn't talk much because he's in his thoughts thinking about life, and thinking about society. So, when Vernon does speak it's a cold remark or something a person who spaces out would say seconds after coming back down. He can be more open to conversation and relating to other persons, though this is only due to how he feels. Most days he'd rather stay quiet and think about a subject he's given himself and other times he'll talk to his fellows and enemies. Vernon is not shy he just wants to plan things out before interacting.

Other than his semi social skills he knows how to create fun, excitement a good time, and tears; from depression to a shrill wheeze in others. Vernon can be a spike tooth hilt if he needs to defend himself or royally piss someone off, and he jumps to the latter if that somebody gets in his head, reads his mind or just...interferes with his thoughts, yes they are all a painted glass masterpiece in the works. And he can also be a charming guy, though coldly this trait has a snowman appeal to him/it.

Powers: Do remember, Blizzard: The ability to decrease his body temperature to degrees of celsius that will turn his skin to thin ice itself giving him a frozen aura. He has to charge this ability by consuming cold foods, staying outside in the cold and being in front of a A\C.

• Snowday; This ability can create snow the size of ping pong and tennis balls which have a hardness which can only be broken by a metal baseball bat and other metallic objects. These projectiles come from gathered cold energy around him and has made a few people bleed.
• Scream For MY; A paralysis move that can freeze over a person/object's feet and keeps them in place until it melts away or just wears off which is exactly worn in a minute and three seconds. Scream For MY is activate by him talking or screaming; like a metal vocalist. The lyrics have to be related to the cold\winter. Vernon uses this ability when he talks to people who interrupt his train of thought.

Relationships: Gilliam Dewitt: Vernon's views on Gilliam; Hahahha Amusing this is some Hannible Lecter shit. LEts see if you can handel a Dexter. Your Very Amusing. I've never seen meat eating taken that far before,impresive! He's a Otaku! Should I call him, that charcter he is cosplaying as?!

William Ascot-- My, my. Your a true stargazer aren't you William? You captivate me/ like a sailor to a siren. You have the power to toppel Gods. LEt hope whatever the Acient Evil brings learns fear. Other it may adapt to it,

Cyan "Tails" Bridget! What an interesting younger man! I've only stalked, only seeeeen, this guy, never got his names and never let him see me in my school uniform. He is just so interesting, he has that aura about him, ya know. All I need is one conversation! To let myself know what I truly think.

Carla;; Not much to say he. I am not interested in her, the situation's almost like she's {censored} Normal.

Alto; Just a tid bit of an asshole. A tinesy bit, I don't like him. If we ever met I'd call hima dustspec.

King... King is...Well he makes me think of my father. Whose a Clairaudient who destoryed his third eye out of frustration from it never opening after years of didcation. Other than the reminders of dad, King seems like a city's HEro. i.d.e.k. I mostly go off of rumours. I.D.E. wanna know. Have you heard the one that's he a alien??? Welll so is parents, so no surpise for me there.

Vernon Gire JEster: His relationship with himself, is a half healthy one. Outside of isolation Vernon is only social when he is with one other person. He likes to keep his thoughts inside a metaphoric box and let them out when he is comfy in the space two people can occupy. Yeah he's really interracial, his father and mother being from two different planets. Though that's nothing special to Vernon, to himself this is just ethnic information. Race, like Gender is not important, what is important is....Understaning. And he wishes to understand himself fully. IIIIIIIIIIII So yeah, HE's half sorry that his self evluation is so poor written. Vernon isnt a better person, yet he intends to be.

(Will be Announced later)

A/N: About the core and abilities, Vernon only has two abilites because he didn't want to develop a third, he'd view himself as to powerful, which to him.
`"`Having too much power is a clear and raised flag, to preemptively strike on that, overpowering person, or machine's defeat. Being nearing weak is the sure-fire way to assure a team's victory.`"` A quote from Vernon; himself.
