Name: Mimir Kamiya

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: "Oh really? Is that a fact?" Despite his father being American, genetics did not bless him with increased height, and in fact he just about reaches average at 5'5". He did, oddly enough, inherent very pale skin - paler than that of both his mother and father. His hair reaches to his lower-back, and is white.

Personality: Mimir is what one could call 'multi-faceted'. Due to his somewhat carefree nature, he can embrace multiple aspects of the "social spectrum", if you will. He can be outgoing, reserved, even timid on occasion.
He generally observes a very social stance, often conversing even with those he does not know at all. He enjoys jokes, pranks even, and conversation about things he considers enjoyable - like battling, or macaroni art. When it is time to get serious though, he gets serious. When being briefed on important assignments - or especially when a battle is afoot - his tone will change to become much more attentive, even going so far as to (sometimes rudely) hush those he was just talking to. This isn't to say he normally isn't diligent - one can usually see a hint of perceptiveness in his eyes that is unbecoming of his usual behavior.
It should also be said that Mimir would call himself a gentleman, of sorts. He is often chivalric to a fault, disregarding his pranks, of course. However, despite his general behavior towards others, he becomes a sort of babbling fool when he engages in direct conversation with a girl he finds especially attractive.
Notably, it's very rare to see Mimir display true fear or anger.

Backstory: Being that his father is American, Mimir could be considered a sight to behold. Pale skin, pale hair, and gleaming blue eyes means he is quite popular in Japan - which, obviously, is where he and his parents live now. His father used to be a CEO for a small food company in America, but over the years the business grew in popularity and began to branch out to other nations - notably, Japan. About three years before Mimir was born, his father moved to Japan. There he met a woman, Asumi Kamiya - of whom he adopted her last name. After a couple of very happy years, they wed, and had their first (and so far, only) child. He grew up as any normal child would in Japan, plus all the attention that comes from his appearance, and eventually grew old enough to attend Shiroyama High School - which his mother recommended, as she had attended herself. Mimir ascended ranks in his early years well, or better than you would expect a newcomer to. It seemed he was quite a natural at battling. Now in his third year, he's not an unknown face to the masses of students - both due to his Western heritage, as well as his respectable ability as a battler.

Inherent Engine Skill: Taijū-kei no henkō - Mimir's Inherent Engine Ability allows him to alter the balance, or by extent weight, of him and his environment via continuous physical contact. He is seemingly always able to retain balance, regardless of the circumstance - even if confronted with a force much greater than what he could emit. Notable uses being; He can shift weight through one being and into another, enabling him to perform seemingly impossible feats; He can increase or decrease the weight of his body to maneuver better or hit harder; He can increase or decrease the weight of an opponent, having a similar effect but in reverse; etc.
So far no weight limit has been found for this ability, but Mimir has never tried anything substantially heavy, such as shifting a ton or even half a ton. However, a limit of volume has been discovered - he has great trouble shifting weight through anything larger than a van. Additionally, moving weight through something that isn't solid is not an option, and it is extremely difficult to do so through grainy surfaces like sand. Importantly, objects manipulated do not break even if they're are too heavy for their stature - meaning he cannot kill people by increasing the weight of their heart, etc.

Active Engine Device: Tsuba no hiroi yūjin - Mimir's hat is one of few weapons he would ever use in combat. Why? Style points.
Furaingugirochin - The hat is able to extend a slim circular blade around its brim and fly seemingly indefinitely forward - except, it doesn't just fly forward. Mimir can cause the hat to turn on a dime and fly in odd ways with no visual input, all the while it retains the speed and force it was launched with.
Hammerspace - The inner crown of the hat can be drawn from by Mimir to extract a number of objects stored within weighing no more than 50 pounds combined. Additionally, this same hat can absorb an inorganic entity and turn it into pure weigh, up to another 50 pounds, which is also stored inside. Notably, it automatically expels Engine Devices.

Skills: Seeing as both his parents love cooking, especially his mother, Mimir has become especially proficient at it. He also enjoys parkour, and as you could probably guess, he is pretty fantastic at it, since he can't lose his balance. Additionally, even without altering his weight, Mimir is respectably light on his feet. He is also fluent in Japanese and English, but rarely he slips up in English, since it is a little underused. Finally, Mimir is capable of using sword or knife-like weapons with some proficiency, as he attended Kendo club for a time - but he finds it too restrictive and easy.

Rank: 35

Club: None. Previously, Kendo club.

Name: Ichiro Fujita
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: "I'm gonna give this my best shot" Ichiro is a little short for his age at 5’ 3”.

Personality: A typically hot-headed individual, Ichiro is as straight forward as they come. He is the type of person who feels strongly about things he cares about to the point of ignoring everything else, someone who puts a lot of effort into everything he does, celebrates every win like it was his first and laments every loss like it was final. He is stubborn and strong willed, but also overly serious and dramatic.

He’s not the smartest person around and can be a little gullible or naïve; his tendency to be overly-trusting would be the main issue around this, particularly in a school like this where everyone seems to be looking for ways to climb higher. He’s not built for political games, certainly, but Ichiro does find it easy to make friends as a result however, as anyone who can put up with his energy will find him easy to get along with.

Backstory: Up until recently Ichiro never took part in the battles around school, keeping his rank low as he instead kept himself to himself and focused on his activities on the school’s baseball team; he didn’t even own an AE device. Ichiro only enrolled at Shiroyama because it was the closest school to his house and because his grades weren’t good enough to earn him a place at the school he wanted to attend. Even if it was a battle school, he had no interest in fighting and wanted to focus on his sports and his grades… mostly the sports.

However, the unfortunate reality is that at a school like Shiroyama unless you are good at battling it is hard to become good at anything else; the benefits granted to high ranking students and clubs are something that everyone wants and low rankers like Ichiro are an easy target even if they aren’t worth many points. But that’s not all it means…

The baseball team is, simply put, not one of the stronger factions within Shiroyama, in fact they are one of the weaker teams or clubs. This means that they are both severely lacking in funding and also a prime target for other clubs to challenge them to club battles and earn a huge amount of points, both of which hindered the team’s ability to actually play the sport they were supposed to be playing.

To remedy this, the team pooled their money and bought an Active Engine Device that they hoped would be strong enough to turn their fortunes around, however they made a small miscalculation in doing so. Although powerful, none of the baseball team members were skilled enough to make good use of it and it was only Ichiro and his Trajectory skill that could bring out the weapons full potential. So now he finds himself in the unenviable position of needing to become the baseball team’s ace in a way that has nothing to do with playing baseball, instead becoming their rising star within the schools ranking system to earn them both points for resources and prestige within the school hierarchy itself.

Inherent Engine Skill: Trajectory – Ichiro is able to instinctively understand and predict the trajectory of objects in flight or about to be thrown, reading their angle, velocity and so on to accurately chart the path they will take. This skill is invaluable to a baseball player like himself as it allows him to know where a ball will go before it leaves a pitchers hand or makes contact with a bat and even lets him know exactly what way to throw or hit the ball himself to send it where he wants it to go.

Active Engine Device: Slugger – A simple baseball bat, albeit one comprised of a gleaming red metal with an ominous feel to it; the handle is wrapped in black leather to allow for a more solid grip. Aside from being a serviceable bludgeoning weapon, the Slugger is also capable of producing a variety of baseball-sized objects which display a number of effects when ‘activated’; activated in this case meaning being struck by the Slugger. The types of projectile as well as all variables the projectiles have are set at the moment of creation through mental command from the wielder;
- Fast Ball: A projectile which, when ricocheting off of a solid surface, will increase in speed by about 20% rather than lose momentum. Dangerous in enclosed spaces where it will quickly gain speed and generally will not stop until something stops it or it hits something soft that prevents it from bouncing further.
- Switch-Hitter: A projectile which, at a set distance from the initial hit, will suddenly double in speed as well as change direction; although Switch-Hitter’s that simply double in speed and continue to fly straight are also possible. Both the moment that the projectile changes direction and the direction it changes to are set at the moment of creation.
- Splitter: A projectile which, at a set distance from the initial hit, will duplicate itself and become two projectiles; the two projectiles will split and begin to move at an angle roughly 45 degrees to the right and left of the original projectiles path, creating the image of a ball splitting perfectly in half mid-flight. Each newly created projectile will be the same size as the original but also half the mass, therefore inflicting less damage individually. The point at which the split occurs is set at the moment of creation.
- Chopper: A projectile which explodes after a set number of collisions; this can either mean projectiles that simply explode upon striking the first object it meets or a projectile that will bounce a specific number of times before exploding. The explosions are concussive in nature, producing no shrapnel or heat and instead simply producing a shockwave with enough force to knock someone down or away from the blast while also causing damage. The number of bounces before the projectile explodes is set at the moment of creation.
- Clean Hit: A projectile that exhibits no strange behaviour at all aside that strikes with more force than a single Splitter, though less than an accelerated Fast Ball or a double speed Switch-Hitter. A perfectly normal projectile, though this fact itself is sometimes enough to fake out an opponent.

Skills: As a starting member of the school’s baseball team Ichiro is a fairly athletic individual; he is stronger and faster than you’d expect from someone of his size and his endurance isn’t bad either. He is, however, a fairly terrible student in most areas aside from certain areas of mathematics and physics; it is suspected that his IES may be feeding him answers to questions somehow, but no one has been able to confirm this.

• Name: Yume Fukano
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "We ride for glory...just as soon as I find a horse."
• Personality:
  Eager beaver would be a good way to describe Yume. The girl is the sort of person that leap in head first into anything she does and give it 200% right from the get go. Of course there is such a thing as being too eager, and she has a nasty habit of tilting at windmills because she only bothers getting the surface level of a story before leaping in.
  
  This often happens because of her strong sense of justice. She can not abide any perceived villainy or evil-doers to go unchallenged within her sight, as to do so would go against her chivalric ideals. These ideals also include fighting fair, defending her honor against insults and vile slander, and loving properly only from afar. The girl is a romantic to the core of her being. It doesn't help that she truly loves fighting against people that are stronger than her in order to sharpen her skills.
• Backstory:
  Yume was set to go down the path of your typical Japanese school life until, one fateful day in grade school, he parents took her to a historical exhibition on medieval European knights. The young girl was instantly enthralled with the vision of knights in shining armor, brave colorful heroes jousting and fighting for their king and chosen lady. She fell in to the fantasy of it, burying herself in the legends of chivalric romance.
  
  It soon started becoming a problem. Yume got in trouble at school for fighting other kids, both real and perceived bullies. The problems only got worse as the girl got older. She would go out on "patrol," or spend hours in the back of her parents junk shop taking unused scrap and transforming into "arms and armor."
  
  Eventually, hoping that she could at least get a good education out of it and fearing that she would eventually pick a fight with a Yakuza if she didn't have an outlet to play out her fantasies, her parents enrolled her in one of the countries battle schools.
• Inherent Engine Skill: Knight of the Sun - Yume's strength is tied to the sun. As the sun rises higher and higher in the sky she gets stronger, faster, more durable, and the quality of the power supplied by her mana core increases. This continues until she peaks at noon, after which her strength begin to wane until the sun goes completely down. At night, she's only as strong as a normal Japanese school girl.
• Active Engine Device: The Dame of La Mancha - Just something from the back of her parents junk shop, a long pole that she figures must have been part of a larger AE Device at some point. When energy is poured into it from Yume's core a spinning spiral of dark blue energy wraps around it from the tip and comes halfway down the shaft, forming a makeshift lance.
  
  
  • Cero Miedo: By pouring more power into the lance and essentially overcharging it the energy can be made to spin faster and faster, to the point where the force of it will actually begin pulling Yume forward in whatever direction she points The Dame.
• Skills: As she makes all her own armor she's actually a respectable metalworker and knows a thing or two about dismantling both normal junk and AE Devices in order to get the most out of them. She also knows how to ride a horse, at least in theory. She has read a bunch of books and watched a ton of YouTube videos about it, but has never been able to put what she learned into practice on the real thing.
• Rank: 15
• Club:

None. Has been trying to get a jousting club off the ground, but has not been able to gather the battle points necessary to get the horses she needs.
