Noble Arm Name & Appearance:Katotohanan Ng Mundo (Truth of the World)
Noble Arm Rank: B
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee/Support, Truth/Information, and Close-range.
Noble Arm Abilities:
The Light of Truth - By touching a target with any part of the sword, Pablo can reveal said target's 'truth'; this, in essence, means he can find out their life, their thoughts, and their secrets, without lies, self-delusion, and filters. When used upon a living person, they also see what is being revealed as well and know, instinctively, that it's the truth. When used on an inanimate object, Pablo can find out events the object was involved in; useful when used against a murder weapon. This power can undo any form of mind control or mental effect, illusions that are not based on holograms, and mundane indoctrination and brainwashing techniques, as well as various forms of insanity that lead one to believe lies.
But the drawback of this power is twofold: One, Pablo also uses the power on himself every time he activates it, preventing him from lying to himself about his actions and their consequences. The other flaw is that Pablo has no purely defensive or offensive powers except for his sword’s sharp blade and the effects of the truth on sapient minds.
Eyes of Truth - Pablo focuses the Sword's power into his eyes, allowing him to 'read' the hidden powers of Noble Arms within sight range, even if they are invisible or otherwise concealed. This cannot be used alongside the Light of Truth, though in this case, it's only because the latter is redundant with the Eyes.
Misc. Abilities: Fencing, History and Literature, Basic Politics.
Personality: Pablo is a naturally reckless person who relies on his powers too often, but can take advice when needed. He also has a high opinion of himself and his intelligence, as well as a sense of self-loathing whenever this high opinion is proven to be wrong. Despite this, however, Pablo is a kind person, one who focuses on helping others as well as himself, and is aware of his flaws. He is someone who wants to have friends, and goes to great lengths to get people to like him and keep liking him.
*Likes: Sweets, Swordsmanship, History and Literature.
*Dislikes: Bullies, Spicy Food.
Fears: Showing his darker side to his peers.
Bio: Pablo's great-grandparents were migrant workers who came to the city of Manila in the Magsaysay Administration, looking for opportunity, and unlike many others, finding it. While said great-grandparents were menial workers, their children, Pablo's grandparents, were lowly clerks, while Pablo's mother became a lawyer and his father an Eskrima instructor. And so, Pablo grew into some wealth and affluence, despite his mother frequently taking on cases for free. Despite this, Pablo's life seemed normal, although he was more intelligent than his peers by a large margin, to the point where he took advanced classes. This made him feel isolated, and also the target of bullies. It became worse when he realized that he was bisexual early on.
He was afraid that if anyone found out, he would be expelled from his family and left out in the streets; he didn't want that. But at the same time, this was what he was born with, and he couldn't change it - he tried. The only people he can confide his secrets to, as well as doubts, were people on the Internet. Yes, foolish idea, but as long as he didn't reveal his name and personal details, he would be all right, right? Wrong, because eventually, one of those people, a woman, found out his personal details and tried to blackmail him for money.
Pablo had to make a choice: Risk his secret coming out, or steal from what was not his? He chose the former, and he 'came out' to his mother that day. Surprisingly, his mother was understanding; not entirely approving, but not rejecting, either. And so they chose to confront the potential blackmailer together, Pablo's mother had a gun, just in case.
The blackmailer turned out to be one a former plaintiff that Pablo's mother had successfully prosecuted, and now sought to ruin the life of her family in response. She was also a Noble Arms master with a Gauntlet that created illusions and vertigo. Caught in a trap, Pablo and his mother risked death...until Pablo manifested his own Noble Arm, the Noble Arm of Truth. Taken by surprise, the blackmailer was defeated through a combination of quick moves and sucker punches by Pablo. And after that, the boy transferred to Trinidad Academy, rejecting offers from more reputable institutions because Trinidad Academy was both in his country and closer to home.
Besides, he wanted to see if the New Director could pull off what he promised...
*Current Goal: See if the New Director can make Trinidad Academy a place for heroes.
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee/Ranged, Dual-Element (Fire and Water), Close to Mid-range.
Noble Arm Abilities:
Element Generation: Sea - Cynthia can generate water from her spear, as well as control already-existing sources of it, dragging them from place to place. She can also turn water into ice as part of this control.
Element Generation: Fire - Cynthia can generate fire from her spear, as well as control already-existing sources of it, dragging them from place to place. She can also turn fire into lightning as part of this control.
Friendly Fireproofing - With a moment of concentration, Cynthia can make it so that the fire and water she generates and controls refuse to burn, drown, or otherwise affect people she does not count as an enemy, enabling her to spare civilians and allies from her attacks. With another moment of concentration, she can also make it refuse to burn, freeze, or otherwise damage wood and other flammable materials. This makes her an immensely valuable asset on clearance missions, as it means that she can spray fire around without risking too much collateral damage.
Misc Abilities: Gymnastics, Track and Field, Painting and First Aid.
Personality: Cynthia wants to enjoy what life has to offer, and that means playing video games, eating good food, listening to music, and for an Arms Master, fighting. However, Cynthia only enjoys fighting in spars or against ‘morally illegitimate’ foes, aka bullies and true scumbags. Against ‘morally grey’ fighters, like those who have experienced tragedy or even oppression from [Insert Source Here], Cynthia is forced to grit her teeth and keep on fighting, even as it breaks her heart to have to fight against people she can sympathize with on some level. This comes from an upbringing that, though loving, has not blinded her to the truth of the world.
*Likes: A good scrap, protecting civilians, and proving that she is more than her Noble Arm.
*Dislikes: Fighting against sympathetic people.
Fears: Being forced to kill someone she agrees with.
Bio: Cynthia was born in Germany, to a Filipino Mother and German Father who fell in love in the Philippines itself. Her upbringing was happy, although her parents were known for political views which came close to the Organization for Disarmament’s, political views which changed when Cynthia manifested her Noble Arm at a young age, changing their lives forever. From then on, Cynthia was the subject of both love and parental worry, due to the fact that she might get kidnapped by people who wanted to use her, ‘drafted’ by a Government who saw her mostly as an asset, or even grow to hate herself because of her powers.
Those fears didn’t happen, but they very well could have, as Cynthia’s life did get more dangerous every time her status as an Arms Master was publicized. Then one day, one of her parents’ former friends, now a Disabler, began harassing her family, first through cyberspace, then through physical means such as splattering graffiti and sending letter bombs. Eventually, said former friend tried to drive a car right into Cynthia and her mother, and Cynthia had to stop him - Even though the fight was not lethal, she was forever haunted by the look of hate her opponent had greeted her.
The family moved to the Philippines soon after, with Cynthia wondering just why this state of conflict had to be the case. Either way, she entered Trinidad Academy, with her skills and her parents’ connections and cash (although she hated using the latter) guaranteeing her a high-ish Student Rank...
*Current Goal: To do her own small part to create peace and cooperation between Arms Masters and Normal People.
Noble Arm Type: Melee | Elementless | Close-Ranged
Noble Arm Abilities: The weapon manifests as a pair of gauntlets that can switch between two modes. The gauntlets themselves extend up to the wrist and only covers the hands.
Fist Mode: Conveys a flat bonus to physical abilities and senses that push the user to the realm of superhuman. Speed is the aspect that is increased the most. User can break down walls, and take bullet fire with minimal injuries. Mental and Physical drain is low.
Claw Mode: The user gains an immense increase to their physical abilities and senses that passively increases in tandem with the amount of blood in the air. Whether it's the opponent's blood or the user's blood doesn't matter. With this mode, the drain on the body and mind increase exponentially. Additionally, the user loses any sense of pain and gains the ability to fight at full power no matter the injuries received.
Misc Abilities:
Experienced Street Fighter: Vane's street fighting skills are unparalleled with maybe only Keith being able to rival him. He can read the flow of battle quite well. He has a problem dealing with practiced, proper martial artists.
Stamina Freak: Even before gaining his Noble Arm, Vane had a lot of stamina. He could run marathons without getting all that worn down. Running all around his city granted him this quirk.
Personality: Vane is a cheerful sort that doesn't shy away from social interaction. He treat everyone the same with a sunny mood. He can be seen as open to the point of annoying as he likes messing around with people. Sometimes he would even goad someone into a duel because he possesses a masochistic quality. Due to him actually being somewhat introverted in the past, he possesses a keen understanding of people who wish to be left alone. He'd probably still go over to where they are and chat them up though.
Bio: The Vane as a child is very different from the Vane as of now. He was a very introverted and solitary person who only focused on himself. He willingly trapped himself in that solipsistic stagnation, which was destroyed before he could make it a habit by his best friend, Keith. That crazy blonde that he calls a friend was a wild person who was his opposite in every way. A truly amazing person that was a self-proclaimed hero that pulled off many suicidal stunts and came out positive. As a person who gracefully embraced normality, Vane recognized that friend of his as a toxic influence. On the other side, Keith was getting tired of his friend who kept chaining him down.
So, they duked it out. After years of a conflicting friendship that grated on the two, they brutally fought each other, for words couldn't convey the depths of how they felt. Vane envied his friend who could naturally be such an abnormal person. He loved his normality, but he had a secret passion for the abnormal as well.
Of course, with the very embodiment of chaos itself there, the match ended in a strange draw as the two activated their Noble Arms respectively. Keith laughed and suggested that they would finish their fight after they mastered their Noble Arms. Vane took him up on that option, so he needed to find a cheap school that would help him get stronger.
After training extensively by himself, he made a decision on which academy to pick. He rolled some dice, which led him to Trinidad Academy. The hardest part was convincing his parents to let him go. Showing the fact that he possessed a Noble Arm was the only reason why his parents endorsed this impulsive decision of his. It was then that he realized that in his fight with his best friend, some of his personality stuck with Vane. He wonders if the same thing happened with Keith.
*Current Goal: Become stronger than Keith and beat him up the next time they meet.
Created by Harumi Shirayama on Pinterest | JeimSeu stands an average 5'7" and weighs 136 lbs with a swimmer build. His hair is shoulder length now.
Name: JeimSeu Igawzi
Age: 17
Nationality: Filipino-Korean
Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Tahimik na Pagninilay (Quiet Meditation) Tahimik na Pagninilay is about 5 feet in length. It is classified as a “polearm” weapon. Although heavy compared to other weapons, it is incredibly light in the right hands. The blade almost resembles glass or some sort of crystal.
Noble Arm Abilities: Aside from the abilities listed below, Jeim can move the weapon without touching it. It is completely in tune with his mind. He can sense it even if he is separated from it, and the weapon will come to him when called. It has immense physical properties, able to move through matter by vibrating intensely or slicing through the hardest of matter. The Noble Arm allows him full control over sound and vibrations, and the spectrum therein. Below are just three of the skills he has acquired with training but is not limited to only these three.
Quiet Negation: By focusing the innate powers of the weapon, JeimSeu can produce a field around him or anyone he chooses. This field of sonic vibration matches the specific vibration of incoming projectiles/abilities and dampens them to the point that negation occurs no matter how strong the attack. If it is a physical attack, the enemy is cast away like feedback and may receive laceration damage. This ability can only be used twice, after which a recharge period of 24 hours is needed to use again. Catostrophic Reverberation: By matching the sonic vibration to different matter that he strikes with his Noble Arm, Jeim can effectively cleave through it seemingly effortlessly. When facing other Noble Arms, this technique causes the other weapons to deflect like a magnet. Embodiment of Sound: Channeling the immense power of his Noble Arm, Jeim becomes the pure embodiment of sound and vibration. He becomes intangible to physical abilities, but is still susceptible to elemental abilities, although the damage he takes is dampened. Jeim can only maintain this form for at most 5 minutes max. His body, when overexerted, will become covered in lacerations. A recharge period of 24 hours is necessary to use the ability for 5 minutes. Accessing this skill before the recharge time can result in damage to the body.
Personality: Jeim is very open to those he meets, but he likes to keep a low profile. Trust is something that is earned and not easily given. He is very cautious of those around him and will tend to shrink back his bubbly personality when facing someone new. Jeim is an extrovert and loves to have fun and is very sassy. He tries very hard not to allow his dark past to overshadow the future he wants to build. Jeim can be seen singing while strutting down the hallways of the school or training his body and martial skills. He has a dark side that shows up if he is tested by someone he doesn't like or by someone who has ill will against him.
*Likes: Music, Cooking, Training, Reading, His Feminine Features, Fashion.
Bio: JeimSeu was born to a Filipino father and a Korean mother. His mother is an actress who travels a lot, leaving his father to take care of him. His father is a martial artist who has his own studio and is also a businessman. JeimSeu was raised to be tough and to stand tall among those around him. His father dislikes his feminine side while his mother embraces it and nurtures it. Because of his feminine side, his father trained him relentlessly hoping that it would somehow remove the feminine side of his son, but it only caused it to grow. Within the pain and heartache of not knowing if his father loved him, Jeim found his passion for fashion. It was through the outward expressions that he was able to live, thrive, and smile.
All good things must eventually come to an end. During a walk home from school, Jeim was attacked. He didn’t know how he called forth the Noble Arm, or how he managed to escape. All he remembered was seeing the agonizing look on the faces of the three boys who had attacked him. They were clutching their heads, screaming out in pain. Jeim rushed home afterward too scared to tell anyone. Even though he thought no one saw, someone was paying attention.
The first visit was the most bizarre. He could remember the man’s face. Handsome. Tall. Beautiful tanned skin. Jeim was infatuated at a young age over the mere presence of this man. The man spoke with his father on the first visit, but whatever he said to his father, Jeim remembered the curse words that spewed from his father’s mouth. Each visit was more cautious and planned. The man visited him after school and on his route home. It became a normal occurrence for Jeim. Then the day came that the man revealed who he was. He told Jeim he was part of an organization known as the Hammer of Masters and that there were others like him. Jeim didn’t believe it, but one day the man took Jeim to meet the members of the organization. Jeim was shocked to be around others like him. The man smiled as he watched Jeim talk to the other members until he could no longer.
His father barely noticed him missing, but his mother called every chance she got and was happy to know that he’d found a friend, even if she didn’t know about the gift. Shortly after being introduced, Jeim started training with the unnamed man. He was told how much his Noble Arm was needed, and how much stronger he would be if he focused on training the abilities of the weapon. Jeim was hesitant but took on to the training with fair ease. His father still had no clue about anything, and only realized he was missing when he hadn’t seen him for a couple of days.
The day his father witnessed his Noble Arm display was the day he sent him to Trinidad Academy in hopes that no one would find out. JeimSeu holds a bitter resentment towards his father and has dark thoughts that plague him.
PS: The Man's name is Anton Riverez, a high member of the Hammers.
*Current Goal: Assassination of an Important Figure.
*Artwork doesn't belong to me | 6'1" and Toned Build
Name: Nuru the Godhead
Age: 19 yrs old
Nationality: Egyptian
Noble Arm Name:Vajra [A+]
Noble Arm Type: Offensive | Lightning | Close to Mid Range (100 Yrds)
Noble Arm Abilities |
God Frame - God Frame imparts a passive supernatural physicality to Nuru while he's holding Vajra. It gives him diamond-tough skin, sustainable speeds of up to fifty-eight mph, and the strength of an elephant's full charge with every strike or exertion.
Lightning Force - Lightning Force are crimson bolts of lightning that attack his enemies (plain and simple). These bolts lash out for 100 yards when extended from his club, has the shocking power of fifty-million volts during impact of said club, and most deadly, can manifest in the form of several thousand serpentine-dragons from a thunderhead created above him (by spinning Vajra overhead). These bolts can be directed through will though he's found they're two-times stronger when allowed to drop naturally.
Godhead Manifest - This particular ability turns Nuru into a concentrated-being of crimson lightning for three minutes. He can travel at speed equal to lightning for up to a 100 yards, strikes likewise are equal-to those same lightning bolts. The ability is grounded in real-world logic, speed and impact wise. The drawbacks of said ability is the total drain of Vajra, with a three-day restoration before being used again (A closely guarded secret, known only by his sister and himself).
Personality: Nuru has a deep, almost obsessive need to make his sister happy. He owes a lot to her sacrifices, the many disgraces she endured. She coached him on being a hero, most of which is studies from old comic books. Nuru seems to embody it outwardly, though often times he's psyching himself up and hoping that Vajra carries him through. Because of this, he has a great appreciation for Vajra, even going so far as personalize the Noble Arm; making it something human. Deep down, he's a thoughtful young man who tries to do the right thing but often mistakes the right thing for appeasing his sister's grand design.
Dislikes: Being pitied, Math or complicated plans, People who act cool, Liars
Fears: Spiders, Mimes, Failure, and Shadow figures
Bio: Nuru's parents were lost to him very early, leaving him to be raised by Hotep, his elder sister. Hotep was a tough-cookie by all means. She was ambitious, driven, and most of all incredibly intelligent. Despite their disadvantages in life, she clawed a niche for them in the slums. Doing several dubious jobs to scrap by at first. Nuru pretended not to know, though a fire was sparked and quickly growing to change their circumstances.
At school, surprisingly enough she was capable of sending him there, Nuru was largely ignored. That was until his Noble Arms revealed itself to him and he had begun to use it to stop petty crimes. While she didn't know at first, when Hotep put two-and-two together, she focused her mind on making the most of his gift. They discovered certain advantages to his strength and she went so far as to call him, 'A modern-day Superman'. After many years of fighting back against criminals and even some corrupt Noble Arms users, Hotep decided with held-breath that he should leave for Trinidad Academy. Why Trinidad? one might asked. Well Hotep was a genius and typically she always opted for the best possible outcome. So though, Nuru didn't know why, he didn't question it either.
Nuru cried the night before he was to leave, silently and into his pillow. When he finally left, he hugged his sister tightly and promised to do right by her. The plane ride was filled with sobs and anxiety. A right-disgusting sight for someone famed as Nuru the Godhead in Egypt. Upon arriving in the Philippines, a private vehicle had picked him up and inside was a school advisor from Trinidad Academy; that was the start of his boosted position within the Academy.
Oscar stands at 5'10, weighing 162 pounds, and has a muscular and lean frame.
Name: Oscar Helgrem
Age: 18
Nationality: American-Filipino
Misc. Abilities: - He was a high school wrestler and a good one at that, he was planning on using wrestling as a way to get through collage. - He trained as a boxer, not for sport, more as a way to keep his body fit and able while on off time from sports. - Other than that, his knack for fighting is a thing to behold as he has a great fighting spirit and great instincts, just need to fine tune them through use. - And he is also a Language genius knowing 5 languages fluently: German, Spanish, English, French, and Latin.
Noble Arm Name & Appearance:
Sword of Hope
Noble Arm Rank: E
Type: Melee; Spirit; Close-range
Noble Arm Abilities:
Compassionate Blade- If an object/person was not the intended target, then the blade will pass through the object or person and leave no harm done.
- If the target was intended yet the intention is not to kill then the blade will pass through them and deal pain through their nervous system, rather than physical pain they will have mental pain, like ghost pains.
- Noble Arms still seem to have the ability to block and interact with the blade even when he intends the target to be the Arms Master.
However no other object seems able to stop the blade when it is not the target, not even steel or lead. The only real obstacle seems to be the length of the blade and where his hand is placed. Other than that the blade can pass through and hit the intended target. Yet the target must be known to be there or it will just pass through them as well.
Other than these strange features the blade seems to have no other effects or abilities other than being a sharp blade and Oscar seems unable to throw the sword, almost as if it glues itself to his hand.
Personality: He is an actually really nice and genuine guy as he is quite Jovial and happy. He always tries to put a smile on others faces and tries to help in anyway he can as he loves to watch people be happy. He can't be described as a social butterfly, yet he can definitely work his way through conversations, and can be charismatic when needed. But, he normally is just an average guy who is slightly goofy and awkward, and just wants to help people.
*Likes: Literature, Mythology, and Meat.
*Dislikes: Those who go against his ideals, Sweets, and Deep Water.
Fears: Him being unable to achieve his dreams, and others getting hurt because of his weakness.
Bio: Oscar was born in America to a Filipino Mother, Michelle Rodwell, who was born on an US Air Force base and was moved to America and an American Soldier, Joseph Helgrem, who met her while on leave in the States. They conceived Oscar quickly and once his father became more stable he was able to be with his family more often. Allowing Oscar to have a great and caring family around him. Oscar always watched on as his father talked of Arms masters with reverence and honor, as if they were super heroes rather than them being menaces. This built and molded an ingrained wish in Oscar: "I want to be just like them!"
After years of schooling, being a good student and an athlete he wanted to try his best to get into a good college and start a career path to becoming a politician. As in his mind if he can't become a hero, he should at least make sure they aren't being treated as a menace. So his career path was set in front of him and he had a dream. Yet one day after a tough time of studying he was pulling his hair out in frustration and anger as he knew, if he was able to manifest a Noble Arm, then instead of trying to figure out the politics to try and get them to be seen as Heroes he can just show them Arms Masters are heroes and can help people and the world.
With that his life was changed, as a golden light appeared from his chest and out came a handle to a sword. As he was extremely frightened, he shakily touched the sword to find it did not hurt, as he began to pull on the sword it came out with ease. Oscar then went from panic to excitement as he began to run down to his parents to tell them. They were extremely surprised that their son awoken a Noble Arm, yet they knew he wanted to bring Arms Masters to the light of glory so they knew this meant a lot to him. So they gave him support and helped him figure a way to get trained, even if they knew it would be hard.
That was when his mother remembered a school in the Philippines that would be good for him, as he did not learn of his Noble Arm until very late in his life. It would be better to go to a school that could be cheap so he could learn there for multiple years without worrying as much. With this he began to train himself to become the strongest he can, except he needed to do many things before that and found himself no time before he headed off to Trinidad Academy.
*Current Goal: Learn how to speak Filipino. Would make his life easier and he could then talk to his relatives here.
The Gauntlets are on both arms and the crystal's color changes on which season is in use. Green for Spring, Red for Summer, Yellow for Autumn, and Blue for Winter. To change the seasons you need to charge up for 4 minutes then choose the next season. If you do not choose you miss your chance and you have to wait another 4 minutes to change.
Lively Spring- .Jahreszeiten Wechseln changes to a vibrant green as you summon Spring. Lively Spring can be applied to living organisms by touching them. In plants, fungi, and microbials it drastically accelerates growth. In animals and humans it strengthens them. The extent of both is determined by how much Henry feels for them. In the case of humans those feelings don't have to be good. If Henry applies it to himself he gets twice as strong.
Scorching Summer: Jahreszeiten Wechseln changes to a red as you call upon Summer. During this time you are able to absorb fire and heat. You can release this energy as explosions from the gauntlet. As the heat builds in Henry's body, with this he becomes more aggressive
Bountiful Autumn: Jahreszeiten Wechseln changes to a yellow-brown as you summon Autumn. While Autumn is active half of the physical damage you take is stored in you, the other half hits you normally. The energy can be called as a shield for yourself equal to what you took or you put the shield on multiple people, dividing the stored power to each person.
Chilling Winter: Jahreszeiten Wechseln change to a cold blue as you call upon Winter. Your strikes with the gauntlet weaken your opponent as Winters chill sets into them. This causes Their body to saps their strength away from their body until all they can do is lay down. This happens after quite a few landed punches or holding them for 2 minutes. However the opponent is immediately aware of the power when they are hit as they can feel it immediately.
Misc. Skills:
Henry has a few years in mixed martial arts. He knows a lot about plants and growing them. He is really good at housework. He would also say his cooking is something to behold. Doing mixed martial arts had taught him the basic of first aid as he got injured quite often
Personality: Henry is someone who will go out of his way to help someone even to the detriment of himself. He is generally kind if not a little quiet when he is by himself. He finds himself trying to help support other peoples goals rather then his own. He is attracted to people with strong convictions and people with high intelligence. He is easily manipulated as he usually takes things at face value. He is quick to defend someone in need of help.
Fears: Fears that he won't be able to provide the life his family deserves.
Bio: Henry's Family has deep ties with Germany, his Family line has lived in the Worms area of Germany for a long time. It is truly where Henry and his family calls home. His father had an office job and his mother worked part time at a grocer. Henry wasn't an only child for long, as it seemed with a successful career and a loving family led to another child after another. By the time Henry was 13 he had 6 siblings(Ben, Jane, Julia, Cristina, Lea, Hannah.) Everything was going great until the spring of his 8th year in school.
Henry always was interested in biology, and more specifically plants to the point he had a small garden he managed at home. He was heading out with some friends to goof off after school when he saw a small wilting plant. He approached it and while he inspected it his Noble Arms activated and the plant began grew rapidly. Henry was more curious than scared, so he continued until it bared flowers. It was then when his friends reported it to the police. After all, they only knew that he had activated his Noble Arms. He got into a little bit of trouble but not much. Soon it became clear what repercussions this would have.
Soon his father realized his options for career were gone. His mother was getting less hours at her job. His siblings were beginning to get bullied. It continued like this for years, they essentially got pushed out of their home. Henry started taking care of more things to help ease the burden he had unintentionally put on his family. Henry's life goals had switched from being for his success to living for his family. The bullying and out casting his family received created a divide in Henry's mind that was supported by the mentality he grew up in that he should use himself as an asset. That led him to deciding to go to Trinidad Academy to hone himself.
He started to prepare first by getting himself fit. Much to his surprise he developed his muscles very quickly, he thanked his parents for this. He started to learn mixed martial arts where he was confronted quickly that although he had the body needed to be a good fighter he lacked the mindset for it. Henry realized that fighting wasn't his natural state. He found himself hating sparing but he chose to set aside these feelings for his family and continued training. The day came to send off to Trinidad Academy, Henry hugged his family and flew off. He is nervous but he must succeed for his family.
*Current Goal: Secure himself a good rank to decrease tuition cost.
Appearance: Standing about 5 foot 9 inches and around 200 pounds
Name: Jordan Quinn
Age: 16
Nationality: Canadian, Cree First Nations
Noble Arm Name & Appearance:
Noble Arm Rank: C+
Noble Arm Abilities:
Concussion Shot: Channeling a large amount of energy into the barrel of La Longue Carabine allows it to be create a short range blast of energy. This energy is not physical in nature instead can bt thought of as a very powerful Force Push (yes like the Jedi) launching anything lighter then a pick up truck with the force of said pick up truck hitting it. Good for clearing the ground in a cone in front of Jordan.
Quick Reload: Though an Arm, La Longue Carabine still has an ammo capacity, normally Jordan would reload every round, but in a pinch he can use some of the energy inherent in Arms to skip the reload entirely, this can be taxing if used too often.
Rapid Fire!: A combination power, Using Quick Reload in quick succession allows him to fire at a much faster rate, but this can of course be very taxing for Jordan, and cuts down the use time for that summon.
Personality:
Jordan is kind and caring. Has a smile for near everyone he meets. Growing up on a near ghetto environment on a First Nations Reservation has given him an appreciation for being destitute and poor. And learning he has a Noble Arm, and being taken into a fairly good community outside the reservation has shown him the other side of having needs and wants fulfilled. Jordan has a tendency to find a quiet place put on some First Nations cultural music and dance, just dance. He loves to do so, and doesn't mind at all if someone finds him and watches.
*Likes: A rainy day, good food, a good cup of tea, music and dancing, honing his aim
*Dislikes: People who brag, bullies
Fears: Losing his culture, failing the expectations of his family and community
Bio: Born among the many indigenous nations of Canada, to Plains Cree parents, he can trace his near pure blood back atleast 4 generations. A point of pride for him. A family that has been together and happy and part of the community for quite awhile. He grew up in a semi-slum/ghetto environment, with neither of his parents having gone to anything higher then highschool. This instilled in Jordan and intense need to prove his worth to family and community. He did his level best to be as good as he could in academics, did his bes to avoid drugs and booze. He tried his best to become a model young man. But it was when he was young that something truly amazing happened.
He had been hunting with his grandfather and uncle. Two men that were more father then his own father who had been a product of the Residential schools. While they were out hunting deer they came across signs of bear. And his grandfather believing it best to fall back some lead the way. Jordan's uncle took up the rear while Jordan walked between the two. It was so very sudden when a huge grizzly came charging out of the trees to their left. Knocking Jordan's uncle to the ground before running by him and skidding to a stop. Grandfather shot a few times with their small .22 rifle maybe to try and scare it off. But it's what Jordan did that likely saved all three of them. Without realizing why he dropped to one knee, and produced a long walnut vinish, silver and platinum metal muscket, runes along the sides of the barrel and along the muzzle glowing blue. The shot the great weapon fired was a brillant blue white. And it knocked the bear over. It was later said that the awakening of a Noble Arm and the sound of it's first ever shot could be heard as far away as Edmonton, Alberta, 3 hours away.
Word got out, and though Canada's own five Noble Arms academies scouted him and promised great things. But he took a long shot. The Trinidad Noble Arms Academy sent him a one off invite. And he decided to take it. With a sponsership and scholarship from the Canadian Government he was sent off to Trinidad. He told himself he'd do everything he could to come out the other end, graduated and rejoin his people, as a fully educated and Arms-user and assist the Canadian Government.
*Current Goal: Make his family and community proud by being the first to graduate from a Internationally recognized Arms academy.
Student Rank: 507
And,
Appearance: About 6 foot 10 inches tall, and 221 pounds
Name: Oliver Arthur Cinter aka The British Brawler
Age: 36
Nationality: British
Noble Arm Name & Appearance:
Noble Arm Rank: B+
Noble Arm Abilities:
Form Change: Starting out in the base form, The Great Ali can undergo form changes to take on differing forms and styles. Each form has a different forte. The Blade Form is better for crowd control, while the clawed form is built for taking down armored foes. The Mace form is great for causing large amounts of damage to a single foe in a controlled but slow fashion.
Style Change: Normally Oli assumes a classic boxing style, which is neither good nor bad against anything. But having studied a variety of different martial arts in his spare time he can change in and out of Eastern Preying Mantis kung fu, Okinawan Karate, Satsuman Judo and Roman Pankration, giving him a variety of ways to come at a foe.
Flat Out Wave: Channeling a great deal of power into his fists, and not really overpowering any form in specific, Oli can create powerful blasts of force from his fists. These can be taxing and he needs to stay rooted to a spot, thus limiting his mobility when using this ability.
This Must Not Register on an Emotional Level(+): Super charging his own body, senses, reflexes, reaction times, sight, smell, hearing and touch, oli can ramp up his senses that he can react to even the smallest movement, instantly know what attack is coming and react so quickly that it almost seems like he's reading someones mind. While in this form his mouth, and eyes produce a bright yellow glow, and he almost seems to produce steam from his elbow joints, knee joints and shoulders. This ability is a Plus ability and will last only a few minutes (maybe a post or two) before it burns out and significantly cuts down the current summon period. Down to less then a few minutes before he has to let the summon go and recharge. This is essentially an all or nothing mode that is used only in dire circumstances.
Personality:
Jovial, kind and intellectual. Oli is a expert in his field of combat and a credited and highly educated teacher out of the United Kingdom. He's extremely intelligent and knowledgable and works to spread this intelligence to everyone he can. He always has a smile for student and staff member alike. And is always willing to sit and talk with students when they need someone to listen too.
*Likes: Academics, eclectic music, intellectual pursuits, the occasional no holds brawl
*Dislikes: So called "I'm-Smarter-then-you" people, attempts to downplay emergencies, overly sensitive people
Fears: Being unable to help those people who truly need help in a crisis
Bio:
Born in Lincolnshire, England, Oli started out as a your regular British tough, he went through his elementary and learned to use his fists early on, even back in elementary school he got into a few fights over some petty squabble. As he got into middle school and high school this only got worse. He even had a small little gang of boys and girls who banded together around him and another of his friends who were tougher then the rest and did most of the fighting for them. Into the later years of high school he and his little gang were thick as thieves.
But that turned around a little for Oli when his other friend who knew how to fight turned on him. There wa sa dust up in their little hide away that ended with the rest of the gang turning on Oli. Which ended up with him being beat up, and dumped out in the rain beaten and bruised. It took him a little bit but he got back on his feet and decided instead of relying on his fists he managed to get his grades up, and get into University, fighting for a Bachelor of Education. Somehow managing to major in Physical Education. Through out his post secondary he had honed his fighting ability though, not wanting to give up on what he felt good at. Learning Boxing, then a panoply of other martial arts. Al while managing to wrestle with his school work. Even with his Noble Arm coming in late while he was finishing up his Post Secondary education, he went through a whirlwind year long class at the university to help him learn how to use it.
It was after he graduated, 12th in his class but still decent, he went on to pursue his new vocation, teaching at various schools, but unable to utilize his noble arm because of normal school rules. He finally got a good chance the last headmaster of the Trinidad Academy hiring him on as a PE teacher, with a position as a Math teacher as well.
*Current Goal: Help to create and guide the next generation of Noble Arms users
Misc. Abilities:The Whims of a Trickster- Johnny has always been something of a trickster, tricking and manipulating both friends and enemies alike to be placed exactly where he needs them to be.
Outside of combat, he is an experienced puppet master of sorts. Rather than playing a game of proverbial chess, he finds it much more entertaining to go for a direct approach. Contrary to his appearance, he has intelligence and social know-how, and uses it to manipulate not just people, but events, to his favor. In fact, he uses his appearance and oddball and unpredictable personality to his advantage, baiting the people around him to underestimate him and put themselves at a disadvantage for thinking he's not a threat, not to mention making fools - no pun intended - out of those who would use intellect and logic against him. He also knows, how to win the hearts of the masses to his favor.
Inside of Combat however, He is a master of feints, tricks, and traps, and his unpredictable nature makes him more roundabout and indirect with how he fights others. He prefers to manipulate even his foes into walking to their doom, or provoking them into attacking him directly, only to lure them into a deathtrap. When he must go for direct combat...
Jack of Swords- Johnathan has trained himself in the art of swordplay fairly well. While he is by no means a master of it, preferring to use his mind over his Arm, he is still capable of going toe-to-toe with even experts of the field, often using his Noble Arm as his melee weapon of choice.
He is also not bad at firing a gun, but he's something of an amateur with one.
Noble Arm
Name: The Jester
Appearance:
Rank: B
Type: Support; Illusionary; Area
Abilities:Parlor Trick- The most commonly used ability Johnny has, The Jester can generate a limited-field around himself and the immediate area and use it to generate small-scale illusions wrapped around it. True to the name, though, he mostly uses this for magician tricks and entertainment - Popping his hand or his own head off for comedic purposes for instance - both of himself and others. Often times however, he uses it to generate essentially a holographic projection of himself somewhere else, or to disguise himself as someone else.
However, while the normal eyes of people can't see past these tricks, any Arms designed with vision in mind, likely can.
The Circus of Make-Believe- The Main ability of The Jester is creating an illusion field in the form of a dome or a sphere with a maximum of 50 meters diameter. To the naked eye, this illusion field is invisible and undetectable, you can walk into it and the only thing you'd feel is a touch of sudden light-headedness that would disappear in an instant. Within this field, Johnny can generate whatever illusions he wants people to see. While he could very easily craft his illusions around the vicinity and carefully generate a similar but different construct of the building or landscape, making subtle differences that could end up with someone walking into walls without realizing, he vastly prefers going bombastic to the point of practically showing off, changing the area completely into something like, say, a circus tent. Much more fun for him when his imagination isn't restricted to an orderly reality.
However, despite how realistic his illusions seem, in the end, they're still only illusions. While the naked eye can't see the field or past the illusions, any Arms that are designed with vision in mind, likely can see the illusions for what they are, and can see past his illusions fairly easily. To top things off, The illusions extend only as far as the field he generates. If anyone goes outside Johnny's range, the illusions will essentially vanish from their sight, and everything will return to normal, unless they step back in.
All in your head- The mind is a wonderfully strange thing. It can make Placebo pills work even when they shouldn't, and can make the body react to pain that it thinks its going through, even when nothing of the sort is happening and someone is simply tricking it to think otherwise.
The Jester's more dangerous passive ability gives the Illusions he makes a kick of reality. Anyone who stares upon the "eye" of the Jester, (The pretty shiny red jewel at its hilt that glows when illusions are about to manifest.) has their minds tricked into thinking the illusions forged are real. To be more specific: The light of the Jester's eye messes with the brain's signal interpretations which in turn effects how the nerves in the body reacts to the illusions. Even when they know they're not real, when they think to themselves over and over again that they're not real, much like the Matrix, "The mind makes it real."
Of course, this passive ability is likewise only as scary as you make it be. Really, all this means is that these illusions crafted generally have a solid, physical mass to them, they can be touched, they can be felt, and that's generally how Johnny uses it. But while they can be indeed touched and felt, and can bring the pain, they can't actually kill...more specifically they can't actually stab or pierce bodies. Blunt force trauma's the only kind of physical damage they can give out.
Gravity Adjustment- Less an independent ability and more an effect of one of the more advanced illusional spells. The Jester can manipulate the space within his illusionary field to adjust the gravity of it according to the illusion at hand. Meaning if the illusion called for walking on walls or the ceiling, he can adjust the gravity around them to be able to make them walk on the walls or the ceiling of a place.
However, it is limited specifically to the inside of the field, and so if one moves outside of it, the gravity for the person who steps outside will return instantly to normal. So there's no fear of someone on the ceiling of a building falling into the sky above them. But Gravity in itself is a cruel mistress, so watch where you are in adjacent to the ground if you don't want to get hurt by it.
Personality: If Johnathan had to be summed up in one word, it would have to be "Eccentric".
Johnathan is often seen as an optimistic and energetic fellow both inside and outside of his job. He sometimes speaks in a rather high-pitched tone, likely to purposely be annoy others or make the general impression that he's about as much of a clown as his mask and get-up seems to indicate. He does often use a more normal, gentlemanly tone under more normal circumstances, genuinely using the high-pitched tone and laughter whenever he feels comedic at the time, and often when he does feel in the mood for that, it's hard to snap him out of his ball of comedic energy.
If there's one thing he always show in anything he does, it is just how much he absolutely loves his job, as if it was a dream come true for him. He has a great love and respect for all of his students, and wishes only for them to be entertained and educated as best as possible. He shows himself off as a very theatrical man with a flare for the drama and comedy alike, even sometimes changing his mask to fit whatever mood he's suppose to be in, or whatever colors or patterns fits at the time.
Furthermore, this Academy is a family, and he cares for each of his students as if they are his own children. He never talked down to any of them, never treated anyone with a shred of disrespect, and has never picked any particular favorites. If they did something right, they'll praised for it. If they did something wrong, they'll be disciplined. The Faculty too are people he cares about, but he sees them less as students and more as friends, partners that helps him work.
In the regards of the war between the Pro and Anti-Arm factions across the world, Johnathan maintains a neutral stance on the middle of the proverbial fence. He accepts and welcomes any students who maintain either side, so long as they don't set off their own little war in class and endanger fellow students, and claims to have friends on both sides of the argument.
However, behind all of this happy-go-lucky nature lays a darker side of Johnathan, one he hides behind his smiling mask. The man is far wiser and more perceptive than he lets on. He may act like a total goof and a clown, but he didn't catch the eye of the new director because of dumb luck. There's always a method behind his madness, and there always seems to be a reason for every act he performs, no matter how strange or random or bizarre they may first seem, making him something of a Schemer at heart.
He isn't quick to anger, but when he is mad, he's without mercy or ruth.
All of this said, however, the fact that he always hides his face under a mask, plus how whiplash-inducingly fast he can change his mood - one may assume he could potentially be bi-polar - gives way to the possibility that none of these emotions he has are "real". His intelligence combined with his knack for keeping his cards close make Johnathan quite unpredictable in how he responds to trouble. Kind as he makes himself out to be, no one can say for certain what he's truly thinking, or what his plans truly are. He uses the illusions of his arm to educate the students, while hiding the truth of his darker side from them, undergoing a philosophy that lies and deceit can be a necessary evil for a good cause, when used in the right hands. As such, no one can truly say for sure what his real self is like.
Bio: Not much is truly known about the masked teacher of Trinidad. He popped into the scene from seemingly out of nowhere. What could be dug up about him was nothing particularly special. Born November 19th, 1980 to a relatively normal family as an only child of normal parents. One of the lucky normal humans who managed to generate a Noble Arm without a genetic advantage of having one or both parents be Arm Masters. Not as rare an occasion back then as it is now, but some would still consider such an occasion a blessing... or a curse depending on who you talk to. He was sent to a decent Academy for Arm Masters where he graduated without many honors of note, and sent off to the US Military. He spent 4 years in Service in Europe and Africa before being honorably discharged after an explosion from one of the extremist factions cause severe scarring damage to his face.
He seemed to have known Trinidad's new academy director for some time, and was requested by him to join the academy as a Teacher, which is accepted without much hesitation or resistance.
However, it's not hard to see there may be more to this story than he lets on...
Current Goal: It seems to be to teach the next generation of Arms Masters and making them grow as much as he can. Anything beyond that is a complete unknown, possibly even for himself.
Job: Course Teacher for Crisis Management and Emergency Response (Until someone comes along to give him a break. XD)
He stands at 5ft 9 ¼ inches tall and weighs 73 kilograms.
Name: Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin
Age: 18
Nationality: Russian
Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Imperial Fists - A pair of floating hands made of stark white stone. They glow a ghostly green whenever they are in use.
Noble Arm Rank: B Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Ranged/Retaliation/Close to Long Range
Noble Arm Abilities:
Consecration: Nikolay is able to command the Fists to his whim. Thus, he can use them for manipulating/holding objects and directly attacking assailants.
Retribution: The Fists are capable of absorbing and emitting energy from attacks directed against their wielder. They have an upper limit of absorption of up to the power of a hand grenade, though this is not known at this time. The Fists emit the energy that they receive in the following ways: - Kinetic: Concussive Blasts/Increased Punching Force - Fire: Fireballs/Firestreams - Magic: Energy beams - Radiation: Focused rays - Electricity: Tesla bolts
Retribution is not without its faults. The Fists are tied directly to the user's state of mind; as such, losing focus or even just mere hesitation can cause them to stop whatever they are doing. They will also crack if they take in too much power, forcing them to return to the pocket dimension to regenerate.
Mobotone: The Fists switch to a red color and emit all stored energy. In return, they are able to fire beams of magic energy with a lengthy cooldown, though each shot has a high damage potential. Monotone can also switch to a rapid fire mode that rapidly shoots magic bullets, though this is ineffective against armored or shielded targets.
Misc Abilities: Pretenseful Voice: He is able to switch accents at will, allowing him to present himself as an American, Englishman, or a Scotsman.
High Level Intelligence: He excels in most subjects, though he detests mathematics.
Personality: Nikolay Andreevich is a rather literal minded boy, as he often fails to comprehend idioms and metaphorical remarks. He usually takes words at face value, and as a result, is often the last person to understand a joke.
Despite this, however, he is quite intelligent and persevering, spending more time on books and writing than anything else. When out in the world, he is rather socially awkward and often speaks in sentence fragments. However, when in private with his close circle of friends, he can be seen as boisterous, insane even. He is quite affectionate towards his friends, and there has never been a time when he forgot anyone's birthday. Nikolay also does NOT like going solo, and prefers to do things together. *Likes: Cats, Pizzas, the French, and hugs (and kisses).
*Dislikes: Communism, broccoli, mayonnaise, and most politicians.
Fears: Being abandoned.
Bio: Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin was born in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the provincial capital of the Sakhalin Oblast in the Russian Far East north of Japan. He was the elder of two siblings, as he was older than his sister by three years. One look at his family immediately betrays the terrible kind of early life that he had in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk; his father, Pavel, was a massive alcoholic, a prime specimen of a casualty of Russia's crippling problem of alcoholism that has afflicted the nation ever since the Soviet Union fell. There were times when his father didn't return for days, and when he did, all he would do was sleep, and then demand more money from Nikolay's mother to satiate his addiction to vodka. While all of this was going on, Nikolay found refuge and companionship in the Internet, where it seemed that strangers from across the planet had far more compassion and understanding than his own alcohol addled father. In his spare time in between school and home, he would go out to the fields of Sakhalin, immersing himself in the tranquility of the wilds beyond civilization.
This continued until Nikolay was 16, when his mother, Katya, had enough, and moved along with her son and daughter to her parents in Vladivostok, leaving Pavel in Sakhalin to waste away. However, upon arrival in Vladivostok, they were robbed almost immediately as a thief snatched Katya's purse. It was at this time that Nikolay finally managed his Noble Arm as two hands of pure white rushed out of a portal and dragged the thief back towards them.
Word quickly got out, and his mother was elated to see that her son was indeed one of the gifted. Russia's own Noble Arm Universities called, but Trinidad University was closer to Vladivostok and thus was the first to send an invite. Nikolay looked upon a mother brimming with pride and a sister that will miss him very much, and swore to do his best as a student in Trinidad...
*Current Goal: Attain the best version of himself. Student Rank: 47
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee; Spirit; Close-Range
Noble Arm Abilities:
Shared world: Fredrick can touch people with Blue Quill. Within 10 seconds of touching someone he can put them under either an individual or group illusion that he creates with his imagination. Before Fredrick can put someone under the influence of Shared World he must have said a key word in the last 10 seconds towards them or a group including them. The key word is also how any person under the effect can leave the shared world by saying the key word. A key word has to be a singular word. The illusion he can create is either programmed or he can enter the world with them and shape it there. The illusion can last up to 2 minutes if the participant isn't a willing participant. If they are a willing participant then it can last up to 3 hours. A participant can change their mind at any point if they are willing or not willing. Fredrick can show them anything he wants inside Shared world. He can simulate the senses in there as well. However there physical body will always remain unaffected by this. The illusion cast on someone, whether willing or not, is broken is they are hit in the real word with the force of a slap or more.
Personality: Frederick is inclined to be more introverted however teaching seems to be his way of expressing himself. He is quick to get wrapped up in a conversation on history. He doesn't like putting a huge wall between himself and his students. So it wouldn't be odd to see him playing his guitar before or in between classes.
Likes: Guitar, Teaching, Learning, Antiques, History, Debates, Games
Dislikes: Grading, Fighting, Entitlement
Fears: Failing when it matters
Bio:Born in Savannah, Georgia, Fredrick was raised by a loving family that was moderately well off. His father was a carpenter and general contractor. His father had Fredrick work with him on weekends and breaks. Fredrick enjoyed it but what he really enjoyed was making money from it. His father had got Fredrick into antiques. A weird interest at a young age but the past seemed to intrigue him and items from those times were ever interesting to the young man. He saved up money and got an antique pocket watch. Frankly it made him like a dick in middle school and high school, but honestly he didn't care.
During his sophomore year he was pretend sword fighting with his buddy Anthony during lunch. Anthony knocked the stick out of his hand and his noble arm just came out of nowhere. Honestly getting it was a bit of a hassle if he was being honest. He had to get registered and all that, random places were vying for his attention, and he was treated differently by some. He decided to ignore it for now and jump into his studies.
He received a full ride to Harvard and there he studied history and politics. It was during that time he began to mess with his noble arms. He realized it could create illusions out of his imagination. He found it as an excellent tool to help himself and others in studying, being able to literally replay lectures or show the abstract in real life. He decided he wanted to be a teacher at that point. He finished up college and trained to become a teacher. He taught at the University of Georgia for a few years when he got a job offer at Trinidad Academy. Frederick took the job opportunity in a heartbeat. He learned Filipino in about 8 months. Now he is there teaching history.
*Current Goal: Inspire people to follow their dreams
Height: 5’6” | Weight: 126 lbs Additional Tidbits: Hailey wears her hair in a ponytail most of the time and has an hourglass frame. She carries a picture of her parents; Caroline I. Strassen and Victor E. Strassen.
There's three names on the back of the picture, which are Caroline Irene Strassen, Victor Ethan Strassen & finally their daughter Hailey Leena Strassen. Hailey wasn't born at the time of this picture was taken, which was like during her mother's 2nd trimester or at least 5 months pregnant.
Caroline Irene Strassen is a very beautiful Midwestern American Woman. It was shown on the specific picture, where Caroline on the right of her husband was smiling gleefully and talking about something at this exact moment in time. She has beautiful green eyes, black hair with green highlights and always looks beautiful no matter what. Caroline takes very care of herself, while also wearing a summer dress with flowers. She's about 5'6 or 5'7 in the picture, which is why she's wearing flip flops and trying to relax and sit on their back patio in a chair.

As well, he has specifically a sapphire wrist band to signify his birth month. He looks around 24 years old at the time of this picture.
”It’s nice to meet you, my name is Hailey! What’s yours!?”
Name: Hailey Leena Strassen
Age: 17
Nationality: American-German
Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Vaeth’s Malice
Vaeth’s Malice is a six feet in length Scythe weapon. It has a dark presence surrounding it, which it feels alive as if its wielding the wielder. The weapon itself has always been ever watchful since it has two eyes, which keep in eye contact with whom it is watching. It usually relishes in the demise of people it deems requires death.
Noble Arm Rank: C
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee | Dual-Element (Dark and Wind) | Close to Mid-Ranged (80 Yards)
Noble Arm Abilities: The weapon manifests as itself, which it conveys a nature of dread, death or awaiting for someone to die. As well, this manifesting ability surrounds the wielder in a dark fog, which rolled in from utterly nowhere. The Bright Red Eyes glows within the Dark Fog and they move searching for someone within the fog, it brought. There’s eerily a hint of laughter that goes quieter when the dark fog slowly vanishes or if the wind picks up.
Vaeth’s Shadow Slash
The Blade of the Scythe changes its shape, size, and starts changing its color from its perfect metal sheen to a dark obsidian color; in terms of the blade’s size it grows one size larger. When it releases the element energy it stored, which it released a similar sized black crescent shaped attack towards people. This attack stops at its maximum range of Mid-Ranged, which is good. At the same time of the release of the attack, the wielder is put into a large jolt of pain to make them cry. The weapon only wants to do is spill blood and watch people die. It usually causes the nervous system to go out of wack, which will cause paralysis but it only lasts six seconds.
The Sorrowful Winds
The Wielder is forced to start spinning Vaeth’s Malice, faster and faster until it starts effecting the movement of the wind. The noise the wind makes as its being effected by Vaeth’s Malice is an intense deeply hidden emotion within the wielder of feeling as they are being pricked and prodded everywhere on their body. It forms a barrier of wind surrounding the wielder but the wind was pushed away in a blasting gust. The Gust’s wind speed is 35 mph, additionally the effect of the billowing effect of this entire ability. Will usually cause the wielder to cry uncontrollably as if wielder remembered something awful.
The Watched, Waited and Demise
Veath’s Malice uses its eyes to watch specifically the wielder, and one other person its delighted to watch. It’s patience is legendary since it always wants to see when someone breathes their last breath. The encouraging words from it to its wielder usually try to make sure the wielder understands one thing. That its helping them to become what they so deserve, but underneath the veneer and encouraging words is always an ulterior motive. In that case, it usually allows the wielder to use it instead of the other way around if it gave very encouraging advice. But in essence, the wielder is a puppet to its will of seeing them hurt and others.
Misc Abilities:
Passable Cook – She can cook passable meals since its required of her to do this now and then. Its something she likes doing in her spare time.
Singer – She is a pretty good singer for a girl her age, which is saying something. It’s probably because she got her mother’s singing voice.
Hailey’s Brightness – In terms of this misc. ability is mostly because she’s the kindest person and always the brightest. Even though she always look like there’s something wrong with her. She always looks for the positivity instead of the negativity.
Clumsy – She’s naturally off balance, its probably have to do something with that dark cloud hanging over her head...
German Language - She speaks this language very well mostly because her father Victor primarily speaks it and usually curses like a sailor when angered or just outright raged.
Personality: Hailey always tries to be the center of attention, even when it backfires sometimes on her badly. She has a massive black cloud hanging over her, but she has no real idea why. Its probably because she doesn’t want to remember all the bad memories in the back of her head. However, she has modestly high middle class type flare to her. It doesn’t help she does get a bit moody when someone asks what’s wrong and she tells them off. She constantly apologizes to every single person she offends with her outburst of anger. Its in her nature to make friends and not making enemies.
Bio: Hailey was born to Caroline Irene Strassen and Victor Ethan Strassen in Kansas City, Kansas. In terms of the Strassen Family, they finally got the one thing they wanted for so long, a child. They were a bit rigorous in how they were raising her because of their need to protect her. However, her parents allowed her to coast throughout most of her life because they were very happy. This family was content with their lives, the mother was hopeful she could get her daughter into a singer’s course. While her father wanted her to join him at the bakery when she gets older. Hailey wanted to please her family so much that she agreed to take turns in learning each thing. Its always better to have a happy family than a grumpy one even though she was a bit spoiled at this moment.
Hailey was happy just coasting through life, which she was in a bit of shock. The School she was going to recognized how good she was at singing, which she was allowed to sing for the entire school for a fundraiser. The Fundraiser was supposed to raise an amount of money for charities involving sick children. She did sing for the school for this charity fundraiser, even though it would’ve been better to get her mother to do it. The funds needed to be raised was gotten in less than three hours only because of very generous patrons that were impressed with her singing. However, she learned really quickly the one who put the school up with this was her own mother Caroline. It shocked her but she didn’t want to be surprised again, it was a bit annoying to be stuck in school for longer than needed.
In terms of all good things must come to an end and that end happened when Hailey manifested her Noble Arm within her home, one day. Hailey has no recollection of that day’s events because it was a bit too traumatic for her to remember. It caused her to basically be kicked out of her home and forced to go to Trinidad Noble Arms Academy in the Philippines by her own father. This was utterly heartbreaking for this family since Victor wasn’t really that happy about the whole situation. How was no one in the Government able to respond when that happened, he was utterly disappointed in his country. However, he did one last nice thing to his daughter and that was he will give her an allowance since she’ll be living somewhere far away.
The likelihood she’ll never see or hear from her father again because of something that happened. It hurt her more than anything, which did cause her to cry while she was flying her way to Philippines. However, she’s very afraid of what had happened has to involve why she cannot remember what so ever. In terms of what happened the day her Noble Arm awakened, which scares her to no end. She guess it took a lot of out of her when it first awakened or something.
*Current Goal: She wants to do her best in Trinidad Noble Academy and stop coasting through life as she had been. However, she has a longer goal that is probably going to take a very long time to achieve since she needs to know what had happen but she’s too scared to know and dislikes her memories too much. She must get over that hurdle to finally be able to go through the memories, which will hurt her but she needs to know what had happened or she’ll never get rid of this dark cloud over her head.
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Ranged/Electromagnetism/Line of Sight
Noble Arm Abilities:
Electric Tri-shot: Nathaniel loads three bullets into each of the Shock Bolters, each one being charged with electric energy. Their velocity is amplified, making their penetration values being twice that of a Desert Eagle pistol. Each Shock Bolter generates 50 bullets everyday, and they do not stack. As such, he only has a fixed amount to go with per day.
Electromagnetic Blast: The Shock Bolters are an eternal reservoir of electromagnetic energy which Nathaniel can unleash as blasts against targets within line of sight. They are capable of stunning or knocking back humans, and will only be fatal if Nathaniel willingly amplifies them. However, they become extremely energy costly when elevated to deadly levels.
Electrical Control: Nathaniel is able to siphon electricity from external sources within line of sight, amplifying his Noble Arm's offensive capabilities. He is also able to channel electricity into machines in order to power/short circuit them, and on metallic objects to either shock those in physical contact with said objects or to accelerate their heat. He can also form shapes (especially letters) out of electromagnetic energy.
Electro-Form: Nathaniel is able to transform his entire body into a purely electrical form, allowing him to travel through metallic objects, conductors, and the power grid itself. He can exit this form whenever he wishes.
Misc Abilities:
Coding Shenanigans: His IT specialist father taught him basic hacking, such as getting the password of a neighbour's WiFi and denying others access to certain sites.
Barber: He can do you a basic haircut for a dollar.
Stroker: Nath could be a professional cuddlist if he wanted to.
Personality: Nathaniel is a boy of few words, giving the impression that he is an edgy, brooding character. He is a sleepyhead and often dozes off in the wrong moments, though he still manages to do well in class despite this. He is also rather generous, as he spares no expense in his gifts. Just like his electromagnetic powers, he is volatile and easily angered by perceived slights, though he doesn't bear grudges longer than a day.
Nathaniel is quite affectionate to friends and family, and is sometimes seen looping his arm around someone else's before using their shoulder as a lean-on as he sleeps. His friends sometimes know him as Spine Cracker because… he hugs really hard for someone of his size. He also likes to eat. It is a miracle of how he is able to stay in shape.
*Likes: Cute, fluffy animals, girls smaller than himself, lasagna, baguettes, explosions, and seeing more subscribers to his YouTube channel.
*Dislikes: Reptiles, anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, Hawaiian pizza, broccoli, and ampalaya.
Fears: Heartbreak, memories, and heights.
Bio: Nathaniel Gregorio was born as the second of three children in a middle income family from Makati City, the financial center of the Philippines. His father, Gordon, was an IT specialist, whilst his mother, Melinda, was a neurosurgeon. His family were all Protestants, having been born and raised in the faith by their parents and grandparents before them.
Overall, he had what one could say was a 'typical life' for a person of his generation; he was a compliant kid when he was younger, had rebellious phases in his teen years, and sometimes has these bad influences, like… smoking (too much). He presented himself as this inviolable boy of the church that beat the drums and sometimes spoke to the youth, but he had this darker side that he kept secret in the shadows. Perhaps it was shame, or the gnawing of conscience simply didn't come through until recently, but he lived a dual life of light and darkness from the time he was 16 until the time his Noble Arm manifested.
It was a dark night at the time, and he and his less than reputable friends have been wandering the streets for no good reason other than for the sake of it. It was when Nathaniel was on the way home alone that his path was blocked by a pair of drunken men; two very big, and definitely unfriendly men. Nathan is unsure about the details, as he chooses not to remember, but he does recall being punched quite a few times. Were they the ones who were agitated by their noise? Maybe, but it was at this moment of great stress that the Noble Arm of his own manifested itself. A pair of revolvers that writhed with electricity arose unto his hands, which he then used to disable his attackers by shocking them with taser-like blasts.
It was at this time that he realized his folly of living a dual life of secret decadence and pretenseful holiness. This incidence was, according to him, a message from the Almighty that he needs to take a better path. And a good path was it, then, when a letter from Trinidad University came in. He'll be a good addition, they said... *Current Goal: Make up for his past mistakes by being the very best.
5'8 Dark skinned man with a thin set of white hair on his head with a thick and white curly beard, with silvery eyes, and a strong yet lean and well put together build. He is with some scarage across his eyes and deep scar tissue on his hands and knuckles.
Name: Herman Atmeni, the Master of 1000 Names.
Age: 62, December 25.
Nationality: Bedouin, Arabian Nomadic people
Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Atmeni
An 8 foot tall Polearm with large golden crescent has bright purple obsidian surrounding the entire crescent as it holds 8 inch long red obsidian blades held with gold etched fittings. When the weapon is summoned, it leaves a light blue aura around Herman, as it feels as if the aura cools things around him. Not like a cold chill, but that of a calm breeze on a hot spring day that calms the nerves.
Noble Arm Rank: A+
Noble Arm Type: Melee; Spirit; Close to Long-Range
Noble Arm Abilities:
Soul Link:
Large purple markings of a crescent moon on his back, with it being surrounded by 8 blue stars encircling the moon. This tattoo allows Herman to access the powers of Atmeni, without needing to pull out his weapon. Atmeni has been with Herman ever since he was a child. As he grew, it grew, and as he leaned to wield it, the weapon became one with Herman. This came to be perfectly in sink with Herman's very being. This connection is so deep, it is to the point where he no longer needs to hold his weapon to use its plethora of abilities. All he has to do is think of the power and the power shall be produced. The only catch is that the power will be half as strong, half as effective, and doubly taxing.
Spirit Bolt:
Able to summon an orb of purple-ish blue energy that is now controllable with Herman's mere thought. These orbs can travel as fast as an arrow and hit as hard as a brick hitting you at that same speed. Herman can summon up to ten orbs at a time, and control all of them with relative ease. Any more, then the concentration is too much and all the orbs will slow immensely and lose much of their force.
From the staff: The orbs are summoned out of the orb in the center of the crescent of the staff. These orbs are about the size of soft balls.
Without his weapon: The orbs will summon from his hands as he pinches his thumb and index finger together and can summon the orbs from the circle made by his two fingers. These orbs are about the size of a base ball.
However, if he feels like it, he can summon a weapon of any shape and size he chooses, as long as the weapon is no longer than 6 feet, and no wider than a foot. However he can summon and keep the weapon out for as long as he holds it in his hand. The moment he lets go the weapon will disappear and turn back into the orb.
Master of 1000 Styles:
Herman is able to summon clones of himself each being made of energy and thoughts created. With each one being a manifestation of whatever he chooses them to be. May it be of an emotion, an idea, or even of a fighting style, they will be summoned with whatever item they need. May it be a sword, pole staff, or a pen and paper to teach people. Herman can hold up 5 summons a whole day without being over taxed. However, if he summons 10 he can only hold the summons for 12 hours. The most Summons he can hold at once before he can no longer control the ability is 100, he can hold up this amount of summons for 1 minute before he passes out. All summoned clones have similar strength to Herman and are as intelligent as Herman is in the field they are summoned in. If it is combative, then they will be summoned with all the combat skills associated with the style and all combat instincts Herman has.
Without his weapon out, all summons will double in cost. Making it where he will have half as much time before his summons will disappear.
Asura: (+ Transformation)
This is Herman's ultimate technique. As this is the culmination of all of his power and skills as he summons out 2 additional sets of arms and faces, each facing to his left and right and being made of a purple and gold energy. Each head can think for themselves and controls the set of arms on the side they are facing with all the knowledge and abilities of Herman and can summon any weapon they choose. As with all of his power his strength grows as his body is then surrounded by an energy form of himself. This summoned version of himself acts as an armor, as it increases his bodies strength and speed by 3 times his natural physicality and gives him an armor that can take a high powered rifle shots without a sweat.
With this ability Herman can hold this ability for an hour before he is too taxed to continue to fight.
Misc Abilities: -Calligraphy, he found it as an art form to be a great testament to detail. -Poetry, as he is a creative man by nature. -Singing, as he is known to sing anytime he feels like it, specifically with Sherly as chorus. -Can play over 40 different instruments well. -Adept at many different forms of hand-to-hand styles: His favorites are Jujitsu, Capoeira, Dragon style Kung Fu, and Shaolin Drunken Monkey Style. -Adept at many different forms of weapon styles, with his favorite being Shaolin Monkey style. -He has also learned many languages, all from different regions and nations, so travel is easier for him. -And is able to grow marijuana anywhere. Better not tell anyone on the board, they already talked to him about that.
Personality: He holds himself with a calm and aloof attitude and has a positive outlook on everything. He is a wonderful and kind man who is always smiling and always making others laugh. He likes to talk, a lot, to the point where if you get him started you probably won't get him to stop unless you yell, and even then, he might just shush you as he continues to talk.
*Likes: Determination, jovial spirits, good sports, weed, and chocolate.
*Dislikes: Smart alecks, people who put in no work, depressing people, and people who mistreats others.
Fears: Never truly helping anyone, and Sherly dying.
Bio:
Born to travelling Nomads still adhering to the old traditions, Herman knew nothing of the idea of sitting still. His clan had moved across the Middle East. Herman had seen many different people, many different places, and had learned 1000s of things that could only be described in a book like the Arabian Nights. As this is what sparked Herman's more curious side and his love of travel.
At the very tender age of 7 was when he first came into understanding of Noble Arms, as everyone of this tribe had one, it only made sense that Herman had one. As like all in the clan, you must hone your weapon, as we are herders and many wish to take from our flock. Little did he know, what was meant was that the flock was of the people, and not their simple goats and Camels. As every now and then people would come, yet Herman would be told to hide, and as he did, people would have left their little Clan. Herman unknowing of the world that lies outside of his view.
Herding Camels and Goats was something they always done, Herman was never contempt with the life of a caravan roamer. So on his 13th year of life, he ran away. He had began to travel, seeing the world on his own terms as he began living from place to place, always changing his views and ideas on hundreds of things. As with his age, he had seen wars come and gone, he had seen many tyrants come and fall, and he had learned a million things from people across the globe.
As through his many years now he had walked many miles, traveled many roads, all without a friend, until he found a small black owl hurt and afraid. A smile came onto Herman's face as he slowly picked the small bird up and began taking the Owl on his travels, taking care of the Owl and then giving her a name, Sherly. As now Sherly was brought with him, he had started having her there as a companion who would keep him company.
As his travels had brought him across the world, he had found many people wishing to train him with his natural gift of martial arts and Noble Arm. With this he had began making friends with his radiant and kind nature as it had afforded him some of the highest privileges a Noble Arm's master could ever want. He was given freedom of movement and travel. He had slowly gained notoriety in the world of Martial arts as a Master of a thousand strikes and a thousand tongues. As many wished to train under him, he always declined, as he was no teacher, but a student. As he had traveled again and again, sometimes spending few years of his life in each country learning their culture, their beliefs, and their way of life. Wishing and hungry for more he continued to travel.
Yet somewhere in his life something happened. Someone assaulted the master, and in the fight, had taken his eyes. Disfiguring him to such a degree he had no way of recovering his missing eyes. Yet this never dissuaded the man. As many told him to stop, he went, as many told him to stop and teach, he kept going to learn more, and as people wouldn't teach him, he learned anyways. Not through sight, no, through the vibrations in the air. He could feel how people moves, he could hear how they shifted and stepped, and he could feel the earth shift. He learned now many new ways to see. Through all of his senses he can see the world and walk around, without ever needing his eyes, nor ever needing help.
So the question is, why did he come to this school? Well that should be obvious, he's still travelling! But he decided to become a teacher here as he wishes to help some young folk learn a thing or two from an old man. Also, some friends asked him to teach here as the school is trying to get into shape and he would be a great help to many budding Noble Arms Master.
*Current Goal: To pass on his ideals and dreams to the next generation.

Bio: Brody Jackson was born to an average middle class family in Yorkshire, England. His life has been as normal as a person in a world of Noble Arms can be. He went to school, did some part time jobs on the side and surfed the net. He did at one point pick up metalworking as an art hobby.
Brody had mostly drifted through his life, with little lifelong goals in sight besides metalworking. Everything changed when he was looking for some scrap metal to work with. At the scrapyard he pulled out a wrong piece of metal and the unstable pile of scrap fell on top of him. Scared, Brody put his arms above his face. However, he wasn't crushed, but instead found to his surprise an ancient Greek shield attached to his left arm. Brody gave a push, and suddenly all the scrap on top of him just flew off, like exploded.
After some time of emergency calls, questionings and surprises, it became obvious that Brody had gotten himself a Noble Arm, one taking the form of a shield. Although Brody had no real interest in fighting and just wanted to return to normal life, as drifty as it was, It was decided that Brody would need training in his Arm before he could decide his future. And so it was that Brody Jackson ended up in Trinidad, with a shield in his arm and an uncertainty of future in his mind.
*Current Goal: Find some sort of calling in life, preferably before he graduates.
