Vigilant - His mother's always told him to keep an eye out. Cyril takes it a little too far. It's very difficult to catch him off guard, much less ambush him in a battle.

Near-Perfect Stalker - Cyril knows exactly how to tail someone without getting caught.

Ears of a Hawk - An almost natural eavesdropper, Cyril can pinpoint distinct conversations in a crowded room. He can also understand most of what a person says when they whisper or grumble under their breath.

Knife - Small pocket-knife used for everyday use. It can also be used for very basic combat. If it takes a decent blow, it'll snap.

Chain - A chain that isn't too heavy. Can be used for long-ranged and short-ranged combat. When Cyril wraps it around his hand, he can deliver quite the punch.

Box Weapon - Kusarigama - With Cyril's kursaigama, he's able to penetrate most defenses he encounters. The ball chain at the end is used to restrain his opponent, but its the blade that disrupts and cuts through flame-based attacks and defenses. Once again, he can use the kursaigama up close and from far away. It extends and retracts easily.

Box Animal - Aquila Tempesta - A golden eagle which Cyril affectionately calls Iggy, or Ignazio. Its wing and tail feathers can be pelted at a target to cause massive damage. Using its flames and dive-bombing strategies, it can disrupt attacks effortlessly.

Akari is quite a casual girl with a relaxed demeanor most of the time. She can quickly get serious and function well in times of crisis. With mafia business, she'll be polite and respectful. She's a simple person, with simple ideals, usually detesting lies, betrayal and manipulation that doesn't directly benefit the Famiglia.

Her childhood and early teens as a Mafia kid had her instilled with old virtues - loyalty and honour mean everything to her - though she can be ruthless when required.

Akari was born to an Italian father and a Japanese mother in Sicily, both with connections to an ancient mafia famiglia. The father was a soldato, a simple underling who would follow his orders diligently, without question, and respected the made men and the boss. The mother was keenly interested in the dying will flames and the mafia’s powers, and was a welcome hand in crafting gear for the members of the family. Akari’s young life was spent being home schooled, and slowly being introduced to the mafia world by her parents and mentors, and for a while it seemed like her whole life was set out before her. She’d learned a lot by the time she was a teenager, though none of it involved dodgy business, violence, or anything ‘nasty’... Not yet, at least. She could summon a bright yellow flame from the ring her mother had given her as a child, with enough practice and guidance. She was being taught how to shoot, and sometimes got into scraps with the other kids of the famiglia in good spirits. She was growing well, and might’ve become a valued member of the famiglia... if not for what came next.

One of the made men, close to the boss, started a purge one night as the town were in their beds. It seemed to have come out of nowhere, a civil war that ended in but a few hours at most. Akari’s parents were sided with their boss, who had been killed in the earliest stages of the bloody night. The loyalists that weren’t killed in their sleep rallied to try and at least take their vengeance on the boss’ killer, the man that’d managed to bring well over half of the famiglia to his side through subtle manipulations and machinations. The battles against these usurpers were hard fought, and whilst those loyal to their late boss were resolved and determined, they were ultimately put down, one by one. Akari’s father and mother would be among the loyal dead. The famiglia would be reformed shortly after, and become a member of the Rilevare...

Akari woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of chaos breaking out in the streets. Her mother and father were gone already, and she would never see them again - though she had no idea what was happening at the time. A woman entered the house, leaving Akari no time to take anything with her, save for the ring that she always wore. This lady was new in town, a professional hitman, and seemed to be friendly with Akari’s parents. Despite being dragged out of town in the middle of the night and shoved in a car, the girl was very compliant, with the reasoning that she’d be dead already if this woman intended it. The woman introduced herself as Hilda, an assassin, and revealed that she’d been after the man who had just taken over the famiglia back in Akari’s hometown. Though, as it was, the mission was a failure...

Hilda didn’t give Akari much time to grieve for her parents, or her larger family, stating that ‘it’s over’. She needed to relocate, and having Akari in her company gave her a pretty good idea of where to head... Before meeting her husband, Akari’s mother had lived in Namimori, with the surname Irie. Hilda would settle there with Akari for a time, and convince the girl to settle into a new life as a student, and forget the mafia. She agreed to the former, but not the latter... Hilda was thrilled to have a student, and over time, the hitwoman became almost like a motherly figure. Akari would keep up being a resident of Namimori, but her training would continue whenever Hilda was in town, and so she began to balance her two lives...

One lazy day, she found herself playing a video game online, and happened to be doing a good job at making all her enemies ragequit and cry! She'd gotten good in just a few weeks and might've been well on her way to become an addict... She was too good... Until she was placed against some guy from Kokuyo, the next town along, and suffered her first death in-game. She was shocked and stunned by this revelation that someone could keep up with her reactions, outwit her, and then have the nerve to say, "get good, scrub" over their microphone. She hated it. It took a few more bad plays before she could take revenge, and told him pretty much the same. The two argued, and... as stupid kids on games do, they started to mock each others families, each other, and the fateful "1v1 me in real life!" was dropped by both of them at the same time. And they did!

Half way between Namimori and Kokuyo, just off the highway, the two met. Neither of them gave the other much chance to speak, only exchanging their names and a threat or two before descending into a pretty violent brawl. As it happened, they were pretty evenly matched. Yoshi might've been stronger, but Akari was a little faster, but in the end.. both ended up on the ground, covered in dirt, scrapes and bruises. Having worked out their differences through a lot of punching, they were actually happy to say 'good game' in the end...

The two somehow put the incident behind them, with a kind of mutual respect. They talked a lot, with Akari taking an interest in his life in Kokuyo. It wasn't regarded as all that nice a place to live, with crime, delinquents and the like. Yoshiaki Sugihara seemed like he rose above it, however. He was on a roll, pulling the scrapping factions into his fold, bringing them together. He didn't act like it, but he seemed powerful, and he must've had some kind of natural ability to lead... The two parted ways, but had decided to stay in contact, keep playing together, and Akari would be sure to visit Kokuyo every few weeks to hang out with her only real friend...

Hitman-in-Training - Akari is an up-and-coming professional shooter, home tutored from her early teens by a real hitman. She has good knowledge of the mafia world, weapons, equipment, flames and their uses. With Hilda's guidance, Akari can fight with many a weapon, and has some good physical conditioning for combat, but her preference has always remained distance and firepower.

Technician - Akari is an avid tinkerer with the somewhat arcane equipment used by the Mafia. She enjoys pulling apart and rebuilding equipment to better understand it, constructing and modifying her own boxes and flame-powered gear.

Dying Will Guns/X-Guns - Modelled after the same kind used by Xanxus, a legendary Varia Boss, but downsized slightly. These "X-Guns" are able to be fed with clips of bullets charged with flames, or with a ring on each hand, the wielder could fire them without the physical ammunition, though it could end up exhausting the user's flame if not used sparingly. Akari has a selection of bullets to choose from. Wax bullets for non-lethal use, real bullets for ending people, and a selection of mafia-crafted bullets, including but not limited to Dying Will Bullets. (Demon/Grey let me know what I'm allowed and not allowed - already noted Possession Bullet is a hell no!)

Flame Shoes - Akari uses a light, unarmoured variant of flame shoes, designed as knee boots.

Headset & Choker Microphone - Akari's comms gear is a standard headset used by the Vongola Famiglia for receiving traffic, connected to a wrap-around microphone for her neck for transmission.

Combat Knife - As can be imagined, it's a simple combat knife in a holster, usually strapped to Akari's right thigh. This is developed from the same material as the Dying will Bullets however, and as such, it is extremely difficult to break.

C-Class Sun Ring - The ring given to Akari as a child by her mother. It isn't that remarkable, only that the yellow crystal has silver engravings on it.

Box Animal: Lupo del Sereno - Akari's box animal is a deceptively cute wolf pup. It's a lovable, pleasant, fluffy bundle of joy. With its own will, it can heal others with physical contact, often resorting to licking their wounds or rubbing against them. Allies can also receive a slight healing factor from petting him or rubbing his belly whilst he radiates the healing factor of sun flames. Oh god it's just so cute!

However, these abilities can be amplified by 'activation', in which the pup will go through a very speedy maturity to reach the size of an alpha male wolf. Whilst it can still heal, it's now far less adorable, and far more threatening - it will support allies, or protect Akari as she sees fit, following her command.

Vigilant - His mother's always told him to keep an eye out. Cyril takes it a little too far. It's very difficult to catch him off guard, much less ambush him in a battle.

Near-Perfect Stalker - Cyril knows exactly how to tail someone without getting caught.

Ears of a Hawk - An almost natural eavesdropper, Cyril can pinpoint distinct conversations in a crowded room. He can also understand most of what a person says when they whisper or grumble under their breath.

Knife - Small pocket-knife used for everyday use. It can also be used for very basic combat. If it takes a decent blow, it'll snap.

Box Weapon - Kusarigama - With Cyril's kursaigama, he's able to penetrate most defenses he encounters. The ball chain at the end is used to restrain his opponent, but its the blade that disrupts and cuts through flame-based attacks and defenses. Once again, he can use the kursaigama up close and from far away. It extends and retracts easily.

Caterina is, to put it lightly, two-faced. Most that interact with her find her to be very cheerful, kind, and generous to a fault. She seems to want nothing but the best for everyone and constantly tries to make friends with just about everyone she meets. She tends to refer from any mean-spirited behavior, aside from the little splash of sass and light sarcasm that she utters from time to time, but to most everyone, she meets Caterina is just an average cheerful young woman and the apple of her father's eye.

In truth, Caterina is much more akin to a cold businesswoman, every action she takes calculated and planned to get her the most benefit possible in any situation. Taking her father's words of "never letting people see the true you" to their utmost extremes, the young woman has spent almost every day of her conscious life building up an unarming, harmless persona to keep those around her in the dark about her own true intentions.

Caterina was promised the world.

Lightning Flame: The Lightning Flame is known as the toughest flame due to its characteristic, Hardening. Lightning Flames can be employed to solidify and increase the firmness of objects. By themselves, the Flames can be used defensively by projecting a solid barrier and offensively by cutting like a sharp blade. It can also be used to electrocute like actual electricity.

Vongola Hyper Intuition - A blood trait passed down through the generations of Vongola Bosses. It determines the eligibility of a person in order to be able to succeed the Vongola, and has been described by the Arcobaleno Reborn as being "a power that could see through all." That being said, it is not perfect and can be fooled through powerful enough illusions. The abilities and functions of this innate ability have been widely speculated, but there is much uncertainty as to what individuals who have it may actually be capable of. It is a trait of many mysteries and few answers.

For Caterina, however, this mystical 6th sense of the Vongola bloodline is diminished as a result of the Harmony of Sky Flame not being present within her body. While the ability is still within her, it seems that she is unable to obtain it's full potential, at least through natural means.

Skilled Dying Flame Wielder - Caterina, in particular, has shown great skill in using the solidification aspects of Lighting flames to great effect in varying up her attack styles in combat by creating temporary constructs of sorts. Whether it be turning her spear into a type of trident, creating a string to reel it back after throwing it, or even creating platforms through her Fiamma Boots to allow for better in-air maneuverability, she has proven to be rather skilled in manipulating her flames attributes, even if her way of doing so is rather unorthodox when compared to the typical Lightning wielder.

Agile Fighter - Caterina has trained to be an extremely agile and evasive fighter, using speed, flexibility, and unpredictable movements to assault opponents without ever taking a hit in return. She has also proven quite skilled in the field of acrobatics and parkour, able to move through almost any environment with ease and efficiency no matter what obstacles might be in her way.

Deceptive - Caterina has always been a bit tricky when it comes to her words, a trait that her father often tells her is inherited from her mother. While not necessarily a liar, the way she tends phrases things often leave room for . . . interpretation. She understands the power that lies within words and as a result, always chooses her own with extreme care and precision. This often makes her as elusive and hard to pin-down in conversation as she is in combat.

Multi-lingual In her strive to prepare for the role of Vongola boss, Caterina has been extremely diligent in her studies of language, as diplomacy is just as important an aspect of running a Famiglia as one's combat ability. As such, She can speak English, Japanese, and Italian fluently, as well as being competent in several other languages such as French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, etc.

Box Weapon - Spear - While a spear seems an odd weapon for the Guardian of Defense, those that face Caterina will quickly find that she is more than capable of defending her allies, even if her way of doing so is by eliminating threats herself. An extremely offensive weapon, she can slash, pierce, and pummel her foes as she spins and twirls around them in graceful movements one would find just as suitable on a dancer as they would on her. Not only that but when you add her skill with Lightning Flames to the mix, you get a true force to be reckoned with on the field, whether it be by launching bolts of electrical destruction from afar, reinforcing the weapon to make it tougher and more effective via hardening, or changing its form and usage by manipulating the Solidification nature of Lightning to form simplistic constructs that allow her weapon an ever wider amount of versatility.

Box Animal- Serpente Fulmine(Medusa) - Medusa is a large python covered in shimmering emerald green scales, with a line of buzzing Lightning flames racing all along her body from head to tail. She proves to be the heart of Caterina's defensive abilities, often found coiled around the girl's body during battle to make use of its ability to create rather sturdy barriers of Lightning flame at will. These shields, known as Serpe Aegis, allow Caterina to be as gung-ho a combatant, making up for her own lack of a defensive weapon. that said, she isn't too reliant on it and is willing to command Medusa to assist others in battle. When fully uncoiled, Medusa is also able to create a much larger barrier that is extremely resilient to attack, even by Storm flames, but she must remain completely stationary when performing this maneuver. Not only that, but it is extremely tiring for the constrictor, and afterward, she is too exhausted to be used in combat.

Despite being a mainly defensive Box animal, Medusa does have some offensive capabilities, though they're only deployable when she is separated from Caterina. These include the use of Hardening on her own body in order to increase the strength of her natural Constriction ability as a Python, as well as launching bolts of lightning flame at enemies, though the latter is more of a harassment tool than something meant to actually hurt as the flames as they are now are rather weak.

Lightning Ring: Class C - A standard Dying Will Ring that she uses to channel her dying wil flames.

Fiamma Shoes - A hi-tech piece of combat-foot wear that allows the user to fly through the air through the propulsion of Dying Will Flames from their soles. Caterina found them to be a natural fit for her more mobile fighting style. She had them specifically modified to make use of a steel-toe and rugged material to make them more useful in the heat of battle, the channeling of Lightning flames making them rather effective additions to her arsenal(especially against male opponents). She also makes us of solidification to, instead of shooting out a thrust fo flame, form a platform for her to jump off of, enabling sudden stops and quick redirections if needed.

Combat Knife - For those times when there just isn't enough room to use her spear.

Veronika is one of the more studious people in her family. Despite this, she was treated as a oddball due to her obsession with research and her father’s reputation. When her status is brought up people are often surprised that others want to know about her due to her odd status. Her obsession with various “unwelcome” things was due to her status as a outcast and her lack of friends and understanding family growing up. Her lack of social skills stems from the main fact that she always had to worry about herself first rather than socializing with others. This and not being used to having friendly relationships makes her retort with harsh remarks when she often doesn't mean it.

Veronika was born in Russia where she lived most of her life her father was a brilliant hitman by the name of Alexei. He was a skilled hitman who rarely failed his shots to the point he made many enemies. As such Veronika’s childhood was lived secluded with her tutors/nannies that he hired as he tried to do his best to make sure she was taken care of. She never knew her mother having died at childbirth but that mattered little to her her Father was there for her even if he wasn’t able to visit often. This was her life growing up while she was alone she turned her attention to things that caught her interest and those passions soon became a obsession of sorts she studied learned more. This made her even more of a outcast among the peers from her seclusive nature to her habit of diving into things to the point of near obsession which drove her away from others. To avoid being hurt she ended up secluding herself more as she turned more and more into her studies and research as they as a whole didn’t hurt her like her peers did.

It was brief but Veronika faintly remembers a happier time when things wasn't as bad she had a friend or something that resembled a friend? She wasn't sure but it took a month of begging her father and he took her on a trip to Japan where she was placed under the care of yet another tutor. Though that was a magical moment as that tutor made her one day go out where she met a boy who would be her friend. While she doesn't fully remember his name she remembered his bull headed attitude and how he would drag to places to explore and play. The possible bullies was also quickly knocked down by him he was truly her knight in shining armor. She remembered a few times it was hazy but him running full into a river to rescue a puppy that turned out to be a toy. To a few other examples such as his grand idea to find lost treasure in the river these times she remembered briefly and though she was in japan for two years. Though she had to move back left them in a tearful farewell it wasn't well remembered but she knew that somewhere out there she had a friend and that thought was more than enough to keep her going.

Her natural intelligence and her hardworking attitude made it where she excelled in her studies by the private tutors hired by her father. Having little reason to interact with others due to their snide remarks she threw herself into her studies learning what she could that she soon became known as a eccentric. Her father often being to busy did his best to make sure she had what she wanted and or need as his way to make his love for her known. This of course ranged from her hobbies to books to aid in her studies. Her father worried about her safety made sure to hire professional tutors that can make sure she is taught everything she needed to know. This of course ranged from general studies to self defense and things of that nature such as how to harness her flames. During this time her father wanted a secure future for her so he sought out the Vongola hoping by working solely for them would help keep his daughter safe.

Rain

axemanship - Due to training and preference she has received from hired tutors she has gained a solid grasp on how to use axe. Though her knowledge on how to use it is there she lacks the skill and experience where she has a lot more to go before she truly masters the weapon.

Ballet - Studied extensively in various forms of ballet and figure skating as a way to stay in shape. She turns this experience into a rudimentary fighting style that focuses around kicks and twirls to avoid blows. It is elegant but its rough nature makes it hard to really do much damage with it by itself.

Hidden strength - Veronika Is stronger than her looks would make her out to be while her frail. She is far from it her frail looking frame holds a strength many wouldn’t expect. She is capable of swinging around a heavy battle axe with ease due to such.

box weapon: battle axe - A large two handed battle axe while a bit of a contrast from her normal looks and appearance she is able to use it with ease while she has a long way to go to master the weapon she is on her way of coming into her own.

Rain ring - A C rank ring given to Veronika by her father so she can access her flames. Its silver band has been melted down from her mother’s wedding ring to make a new ring for Veronika that can protect her in the dangers she would face.

Box Animal: Orso di Pioggia - Veronika’s Box animal a large bear that she can summon despite the fearsome appearance it is a docile creature in most cases. Affectionately named Ivan its claws are covered in rain flames enabling it be able to attack and weaken the enemy in the process. Due to its large size Veronika is able to use it as a mount and can ride it into battle.
