Higashiakemi Ryuuko was a child of the influential Higashiakemi family of Sendai, Japan. The family, whom members were almost all Polymaths, was also renowned for being ardent traditionalists. It was hence unsurprising that most of the Polymaths within the family were Egoists proud of their Oriental heritage regardless of how niche Egoism can be seen as compared to Technologism.
Ryuuko herself was an extremely talented person when it came to being an Egoist. From a very young age she dedicated herself to the craft, showing great potentials that would have done her family proud. That is to say, if only she didn't wholeheartedly despised her own family. The truth of the matter was that despite her love of the Egoism craft, she hated most of the traditions of the family and by extension of the country. While not as bad as how it were in the past, women were still seen as somewhat of lesser social status than men in the Empire of Blazing Sun. Add to that the strongly enforced culture of seniority and compliance, and it became just way too much for the progressive minded Ryuuko.
To that end, everything that Ryuuko did tended to go exactly the opposite of what her family would approve of. She deliberately dressed herself in fashions that her family found distasteful, deliberately learned languages that her family deemed pointless to learn, and even deliberately ate foods that her family seen as affronts to the Japanese cuisine. Of course, she didn't stop with only such petty little things. As the biggest deliberate offense, Ryuuko geared her entire Egoist craft toward transformations that her family saw as absolute horror and disgrace. With her script carved on to her stomach instead of her back(because of course she'll never went with the traditionalist way), Ryuuko used all of her talent to turn herself slowly but surely into a being best called as a draconic Chimera. This, she achieved at the tender age of 12 years old. As expected her family were absolutely flabbergasted and revolted at what she had became, to the point of threatening to disown her for her "transgression".
Unfortunately for them, Ryuuko's talents didn't end with only her incredible skills in the Egoism craft. She also possessed a significant degree of intelligence, enough to plan her moves far in advance. Thus, to rub salt into the family's wound, Ryuuko had already arranged for herself to be a member of the Kaiser Institute; an organization of highly talented and progressive Polymaths based in Germany. Before her family can even officially disown her, Ryuuko was instead the one who left her family behind. Furthermore, as her last parting "gift" to the family she kept the family name just because she knew that it will bring even more shame to them.
Years had passed since then. In a new chapter of her life, Ryuuko had secured an enrollment into the Academic City of Bermuda as an agent of the Kaiser Institute. On the surface, the Institute was seemingly just one of the countless institutes of Polymaths focused on furthering their respective crafts. In truth, the Institute was one of the secret society with the mission of ensuring the Occident's supremacy in the war that never truly ended. And for Ryuuko, she could not have found a better way than this to smear even more dirt to the face of all those traditionalists back home.

Ryuuko's transformation had turned her into a draconic chimera. The following is a list of the abilities she possessed due to her transformations:
- Horns: She possessed a pair of horns on the side of her head above the ears. As tough as a rhino's horn, these are capable of both protecting her and also as weapons due to their toughness.
- Night Vision: Modifications to her eyes enabled her to see in the dark clearly. As with all forms of natural night vision capability, light must still be present. Thus, this ability cannot function in complete darkness. Additionally as a tradeoff of the transformation, she suffered from myopia which necessitated her to wear prescription eyeglasses.
- Fangs: Her teeth are razor sharp like a shark's. Also like sharks, she had the capability to replace lost teeth seemingly infinitely. It will take her around a single day to fully regenerate her teeth regardless of the number that needs to be replaced.
- Armored Carapaces: Hard carapaces covered Ryuuko's hands and her legs below the knees, functioning like durable armor strong enough to deflect bullets from low caliber firearms. Additionally, these also provided her with sharp claws that can be used for offense.
- Tails: She possessed a pair of tails on the back of her waist. These are not prehensile. Instead, she can use them for additional balance, and if necessary she can also use them as powerful whips.
- Enhanced Physical Capabilities: Ryuuko possessed noticeably higher physical capabilities than the typical human, clocking at around twice that of peak human capabilities.
- Fire Breath: Perhaps the most defining of Ryuuko's abilities. She possessed the capability to launch a stream of intense fire breath from her mouth. She achieved this by expelling flammable venom from venom sacks on the inner walls of her throat, then igniting the venom with a spark made by the grinding of her teeth. The fire produced by her when the venom sacks are fully primed easily reached a thousand six hundred degree celcius; enough to melt steel, titanium, and most other form of metals.
- Horns: She possessed a pair of horns on the side of her head above the ears. As tough as a rhino's horn, these are capable of both protecting her and also as weapons due to their toughness.

#2. CS made for Heartbreaker
Age:
35
Race:
Orc
Appearance:
Background:
Ravil the Marvelous! Bard Extraordinaire (true), Connoisseur of All Things Music (true enough), Master of a Thousand Dialects (kiiind of stretching it a bit thin), and Stalwart Champion of the Ladies (now this one's totally self-proclaimed)! Wherever tales are to be spoken, one can be assured that Ravil is ready to serve! Why, there are so many tales of great heroes to be told indeed in this realm, and are they not all worthy of praise and glory...?
No? Don't think so? Then you think in the same way as Ravil himself.
To Ravil, most of the tales of heroism by these so called heroes are bogus. Nonsense. Empty flattery to inflate the heroes' ego. Not many in the realm can see it; most seems content to just nod along with the rumors and hearsay about how awesome and powerful and perfect the heroes summoned by the goddess are. These people are like puppets. Ravil however, is completely different. He read the history books and tale books, and he realized that far more often than not, these heroes won by the sheer power of either being lucky or being inexplicably infallible no matter how foolish their actions were at times. It was as if... They won because a higher being made it so. From there it wasn't that difficult to connect the dots, really. Heroes summoned by the goddess plus winning because a higher being made it so. Duh, the higher being's the goddess.
This pissed Ravil off very very much. And not because the heroes kept getting all the ladies, nay (nah, it's totally because of this)! It didn't bother him at all that this all meant that the heroes getting the ladies were also because of that damned goddess! Nay, it is the injustice of the situation that roused Ravil's sense of justice (pffft) to rebel against the goddess and the heroes she summoned! The only thing that pissed Ravil off nearly as much is the stereotype that all Orcs are lumbering mindless berserkers that can only spout "ORC SMASH!" while wildly trying to gib an enemy. Nonsense, Ravil himself is living proof that Orcs are as civilized and potentially dashing creatures as any other races are. Music, poetry, fine dining, and artful fencing; these fits Ravil way more than swinging around a spiked club wildly like a drunken madman.
In any case, so it became that Ravil offered his loyalty and all the marvels at his disposal to Demon Lord Ahriman. The goddess and her heroes really need to be taken down a peg. Or two pegs. Or taken down entirely, really. And who else have the best chance to do that than a Demon Lord?
And Ravil did not join Lord Ahriman's cause by his lonesome. No, he is accompanied by his lifelong companion (in a platonic sense). Alira the Succubus. As stereotype-defying as Ravil himself, Alira is not at all like the image that most people have when they heard the word "succubus". She's a bookworm with absolutely zero interest in hanky-panky. Her greatest pleasure is playing chess, not seducing, bedding, and corrupting a hero or a holy man. Truly a most impressively smart pundit of literature, there is no one Ravil will trust more when it comes to foiling the goddess and her genre-locked heroes. Why, it was also Alira who gave Ravil the idea of working for Lord Ahriman.
And so heroes' blood shall be spilled and goddess' plan shall be ruined! With words, swords, and genre savviness at their disposal, they shall prevail! Ehm, also with the help of the other magnificent and stalwart servants of the great Demon Lord Ahriman, of course.
Skills and Abilities:
- Bard Extraordinaire: As a bard, Ravil truly is one that is extraordinary and remarkable. He is possessed of an exceptional degree of panache and of presence both, able to easily enrapture a crowd of audience with his songs and poets. He speaks a great number of different languages, and musical instruments too are nothing foreign in the slightest for him, as he had mastered virtually all forms of instruments from the most classic to the most exotic. Additionally, like all self-respecting adventuring bards, Ravil possessed the capability to use Bardic Magic. In his case, masterfully so, allowing him to greatly empower his allies and weaken his foes alike using his bardic performances.
- Expert Fencer: If words, charismatic endeavors, and bardic spells failed to win the day, or simply if it is easier to succeed by might, then Ravil is perfectly capable of fighting as well. An excellent fencer, Ravil's fighting style indeed betrayed the typical stereotype of Orcs being berserkers. Ravil fights with grace and elegance, performing quick strikes with pinpoint accuracy while wielding his trusty rapier. His movements in combat are akin to flowing water, smoothly weaving in to strike and out to dodge by going with the flow rather than against it. Mundane as his physical combat style might be, it is foolish to underestimate this sophisticated fighter, although he himself would prefer to be underestimated as it works to his advantage.
- Dirty Fighting: If all else fails, then Ravil can fall back to yet another method of engagement he had specialized in. In combat, honor is for schmuck. Ravil possessed absolutely zero reservation in regards to using dirty tricks to gain himself an unfair advantage in a situation. If throwing a handful of spicy pepper meant for dinner unto the face of his foe will turn defeat to victory, Ravil will do so in a heartbeat.
Equipment:
- Rose Thorn: Ravil's trusty rapier. Very light yet of mighty sharpness and durability, it is made out of mithril ingots. A most fine weapon for a graceful fighter.
- Musical Instruments: Ravil possessed a great number of various musical instruments he had collected throughout his journey as a bard. Most of the time he can be found with his lute, but he is able to switch it out for something else quickly using his Bag of Holding.
- Bag of Holding: The aforementioned Bag of Holding, most trusty extradimensional container for the enterprising (rich) adventurer. This holds... just about everything Ravil own really, from toothpicks to potions to musical instruments.
His Most Trusty Companion:
Why, none other than Alira, of course. Most educated of Succubi and lifelong (platonic) companion of Ravil the Marvelous. For the most parts, she disliked the very act of fighting. But if she must, be it to protect herself or Ravil, then she is more than capable in using Dark Magic of the Destruction, Illusion, and Conjuration schools. Rather than as a fighter, Alira is much more valuable a comrade for her great intellect and genre savvy advice instead.

#3. CS made for Rise of New Heroes
Name: Rosaria Voronin
Hero Name: Spectral
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Family: None
Occupation: Freelance Song Writer
Appearance: Young adult female standing at 165cm (5'5") with black hair slightly over the shoulders in length, one bang covering her right eye while the left is held back with a hairpin. Left ear pierced with an earring. In general she prefers to wear clothing with muted, low saturation colors in an effort to not stand out. Grey, black, and white are tones that can typically be attributed to her. She is rather thin, and of middling height considering her heritage.
Her physical appearance when engaging her powers is quite drastically different with most of her physical body turning into a dark shadowy form with a skull for a head, whereupon her real identity is practically fully concealed. She stands at 180cm (5'9") in this form.
Superpower: Shadow Form
Skills:
1. She is quite competent as a song writer.
2. She possessed extraordinary attention to details, meaning she is more likely than most others to spot differences, unusual details, and notice when something is out of place.
3. She is also decent at using knives to defend herself. This began as a fascination to bladed objects due to her suicidal mind whereupon she would be slashing herself. but as she got better, she turned this fascination into actual proficiency in using knives for fighting.
Equipment: Nothing particularly notable aside from her favorite Russia-made NR-40 combat knife.
Personality: She is a rather quiet person with a rather gloom outlook on things. Thinking negatively comes very naturally to her, typically seeing things in a glass half empty way. When she is down in the dump, this is taken to an even worse level with her becoming rather nihilistic and sarcastic in response to just about anything. Her life experience had left her not entirely of sound mind, and she suffered from hallucinations both visual and auditory. In time she came to be able to discern between what is real and what is not, but she still humor her hallucinations at times by responding to them. This, in fact, became a significant part of why she decided to use her powers for good despite everything that had happened.
If there is a bright side to her personality, it is that she simply does not fake it when she smiles and when she is otherwise being positive for once. There is no deception at all in her rare expression of happiness. She cannot afford to fake something that is now so rare and precious in her life.
Biography: For much of her life, Rosaria's story wasn't a particularly notable or unusual one. Born to a family of Russian immigrant, she grew up in a normal, middle class family with her parents and her older brother where her parents always tried their best to provide for their children. All in all, her childhood was without a doubt a good one compared to those less fortunate than her. A good childhood that enabled her to pursue her passion of writing songs to share with the world.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse during the 18th year of Rosaria's life. Her mother and older brother were involved in an aviation accident while traveling abroad. The plane they boarded had a malfunction which ended in it crashing into a mountainside and killing everyone onboard. Investigation into the accident revealed no foul play; the simple and cold fact was that it was truly just a cruel misfortune: An accident without a perpetrator. For Rosaria and her father, that was even worse than if there had been foul play. After all, it also meant that there wasn't really anyone that they can blame for it. Except for themselves for letting the two board that plane on that day, even though of course nobody could have predicted it anyway.
Regardless, this drove her father and Rosaria both into a deep and enduring depression, and the family soon enough fell into poverty. It was especially harsh for Rosaria, young as she was. Unable to cope with everything, she quit school and instead resigned herself to doing nothing but mourning and blaming herself for being utterly powerless to do anything to change what had already transpired. Then, a misguided action by Rosaria's father made things even worse. Losing his wife and son, and seeing her daughter in a shattered mental state made him very very desperate. In his mind, he wished to at least make things right for Rosaria. So he got in contact with unsavory characters, staged a bank robbery, and then went and got himself killed during the heist. Unsurprisingly, this practically broke Rosaria even more the moment she became aware of what had happened.
Soon after that, Rosaria committed three consecutive suicide attempts which all ended in failure, be it due to sloppy preparations or by lack of will to go through the attempt. She stopped trying after that, although thoughts of suicide continued to plague her mind even to this day.
Suicidal thoughts were not all that ailed her due to her traumas. She also started having hallucinations of her now deceased family members, both seeing them in her sight from time to time and also hearing their voices calling out and talking to her. For a long time, she struggled to accept this condition, her troubled mind finding it extremely difficult to separate reality with her hallucinations. In time however, in something that can be said as a twisted form of luck, the hallucinations instead became something that allowed her to go on with her life. She became accustomed to them enough that she can naturally recognize the hallucinations for what they truly were. Yet at the same time, she found a semblance of normalcy in responding to those hallucinations. After all, it was just like speaking to her dead family members. If fooling herself and pretending as if the hallucinations were real can make her feel better, she saw no reason not to do exactly that. Heck, the hallucinations even encouraged her to pursue her old passion of writing song and the few hobbies that she had. What was once an ailing curse was turned into a coping method by the troubled young lady.
Several years passed since then. Rosaria had came to become a fledgling freelance song writer that were able to make a decent living out of it. She was still the exact opposite of her cheerful nature from before the accident, seeing the world as bleak and horrible, but at least she was living decently nonetheless. Of course, guilt and regret never left her mind. If only she can change what had happened, she would do so without a second thought. She still lamented being a powerless individual, a nobody with no way whatsoever to truly make a difference in the world...
Then, that one event happened. A meteor falling from the sky, fascinating yet seemingly of no concern whatsoever to Rosaria's life. She didn't even really bother to care about it, seeing no reason to do so. She still wouldn't have bothered if not for the fact that she woke up one day, walked to the bathroom of her small private apartment room, and then saw a black half-transparent skull-faced apparition staring back at her from the mirror. That didn't even faze her at first, as she thought it was just her hallucination taking things to the next level, but then she realized that it wasn't a hallucination at all. She would know, she'd gotten really good at discerning reality from her hallucinations after all.
It didn't take long after that for gears to start moving inside Rosaria's head. She started experimenting with it, trying to see what she can and cannot do, what she can and cannot control about this weird thing going on with her. Could it be that she had somehow finally gained a way to be someone who mattered? Someone who can actually make a difference in the world in ways that would have been impossible before? She hesitated, wondering if she should even bother... But then it was the hallucination of her family members who pushed her to finally make a decision. They encouraged her, told her that this is a chance to make things right. Told her that this world could use someone like her to make things better.
So she decided to heed them in the end because she got nothing else to lose anyway. The world's a hell hole that was probably not deserving of heroes... But yeah, there's no harm in trying either. Might as well live and die a hero than live and die a nothing.
And the chance to start, it seems, came at just the right timing. The Precious Metal Vault is being robbed, and it's time to be a damn hero.
Anything Else: I used to have a decently good team of Electric Pokemons that I played competitively with back in high school.

Transformed
Normal
Portrait
Superpower: Shadow Form
Rosaria is able to turn into a shadowy form that made her partially corporeal, yet also not fully ethereal. As she only had this power for about a week, her control of this power is still quite limited.
In more details, the strengths and weaknesses that this power confers to her can be listed as the following:
1. Partial Corporeality: She is significantly less affected by physical effects while in this form. For example, a punch or any other physical impacts will have a significantly reduced effect on her; a blow to the face by a sledgehammer that would have killed a person of her stature turned into a glancing blow instead in regards to its effect.
On the other hand, this also meant that any physical strike performed by her will have its effect just as muted. She is far from ideal when it comes to tasks requiring physical exertion, even if it is as simple as pushing a slightly heavy object.
・Additional Notes:
- She is still able to hold objects and wear clothes in this form as she is not completely incorporeal.
- When it comes to interacting with objects of incorporeal or immaterial nature, the effects of this form is reversed instead.
2. Shadow Merge: She is able to merge into body of shadows to practically hide herself completely.
Additionally, while merging with a body of shadows, she is able to move around it freely and rapidly.
As far as limitation goes, the body of shadows need to be at least as big as around 50cm (20 inches) in diameter for her to be able to merge into it. Furthermore, if the body of shadows is erased for whatever reason while she is in it, she will be forcefully ejected and left debilitated for a few seconds.
・Additional Notes: Any articles of clothing she is wearing and object she is holding can be made to merge to the shadows along with her. However, she is unable to take other living being to merge to the shadows with her.
3. Temporary Immateriality: If she concentrated hard enough, she is able to very briefly turn completely incorporeal. This means she is able to very briefly phase through objects. At her current level of control of this ability, it is possible for her to maintain this for only a single second. As such, in application, she is theoretically able to phase through a thin door but not a thick wall.
This does not come at no cost however. As mentioned above, she need to concentrate hard to do this. Additionally, this ability is quite exhausting to use, giving her a significant sense of fatigue and tiredness every time she use it.
・Additional Notes: Unlike her other abilities, she is currently unable to turn other object to become immaterial along with her, adding another possible complication to using this ability.
In more details, the strengths and weaknesses that this power confers to her can be listed as the following:
1. Partial Corporeality: She is significantly less affected by physical effects while in this form. For example, a punch or any other physical impacts will have a significantly reduced effect on her; a blow to the face by a sledgehammer that would have killed a person of her stature turned into a glancing blow instead in regards to its effect.
On the other hand, this also meant that any physical strike performed by her will have its effect just as muted. She is far from ideal when it comes to tasks requiring physical exertion, even if it is as simple as pushing a slightly heavy object.
・Additional Notes:
- She is still able to hold objects and wear clothes in this form as she is not completely incorporeal.
- When it comes to interacting with objects of incorporeal or immaterial nature, the effects of this form is reversed instead.
2. Shadow Merge: She is able to merge into body of shadows to practically hide herself completely.
Additionally, while merging with a body of shadows, she is able to move around it freely and rapidly.
As far as limitation goes, the body of shadows need to be at least as big as around 50cm (20 inches) in diameter for her to be able to merge into it. Furthermore, if the body of shadows is erased for whatever reason while she is in it, she will be forcefully ejected and left debilitated for a few seconds.
・Additional Notes: Any articles of clothing she is wearing and object she is holding can be made to merge to the shadows along with her. However, she is unable to take other living being to merge to the shadows with her.
3. Temporary Immateriality: If she concentrated hard enough, she is able to very briefly turn completely incorporeal. This means she is able to very briefly phase through objects. At her current level of control of this ability, it is possible for her to maintain this for only a single second. As such, in application, she is theoretically able to phase through a thin door but not a thick wall.
This does not come at no cost however. As mentioned above, she need to concentrate hard to do this. Additionally, this ability is quite exhausting to use, giving her a significant sense of fatigue and tiredness every time she use it.
・Additional Notes: Unlike her other abilities, she is currently unable to turn other object to become immaterial along with her, adding another possible complication to using this ability.
Skills:
1. She is quite competent as a song writer.
2. She possessed extraordinary attention to details, meaning she is more likely than most others to spot differences, unusual details, and notice when something is out of place.
3. She is also decent at using knives to defend herself. This began as a fascination to bladed objects due to her suicidal mind whereupon she would be slashing herself. but as she got better, she turned this fascination into actual proficiency in using knives for fighting.
Equipment: Nothing particularly notable aside from her favorite Russia-made NR-40 combat knife.
Personality: She is a rather quiet person with a rather gloom outlook on things. Thinking negatively comes very naturally to her, typically seeing things in a glass half empty way. When she is down in the dump, this is taken to an even worse level with her becoming rather nihilistic and sarcastic in response to just about anything. Her life experience had left her not entirely of sound mind, and she suffered from hallucinations both visual and auditory. In time she came to be able to discern between what is real and what is not, but she still humor her hallucinations at times by responding to them. This, in fact, became a significant part of why she decided to use her powers for good despite everything that had happened.
If there is a bright side to her personality, it is that she simply does not fake it when she smiles and when she is otherwise being positive for once. There is no deception at all in her rare expression of happiness. She cannot afford to fake something that is now so rare and precious in her life.
Biography: For much of her life, Rosaria's story wasn't a particularly notable or unusual one. Born to a family of Russian immigrant, she grew up in a normal, middle class family with her parents and her older brother where her parents always tried their best to provide for their children. All in all, her childhood was without a doubt a good one compared to those less fortunate than her. A good childhood that enabled her to pursue her passion of writing songs to share with the world.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse during the 18th year of Rosaria's life. Her mother and older brother were involved in an aviation accident while traveling abroad. The plane they boarded had a malfunction which ended in it crashing into a mountainside and killing everyone onboard. Investigation into the accident revealed no foul play; the simple and cold fact was that it was truly just a cruel misfortune: An accident without a perpetrator. For Rosaria and her father, that was even worse than if there had been foul play. After all, it also meant that there wasn't really anyone that they can blame for it. Except for themselves for letting the two board that plane on that day, even though of course nobody could have predicted it anyway.
Regardless, this drove her father and Rosaria both into a deep and enduring depression, and the family soon enough fell into poverty. It was especially harsh for Rosaria, young as she was. Unable to cope with everything, she quit school and instead resigned herself to doing nothing but mourning and blaming herself for being utterly powerless to do anything to change what had already transpired. Then, a misguided action by Rosaria's father made things even worse. Losing his wife and son, and seeing her daughter in a shattered mental state made him very very desperate. In his mind, he wished to at least make things right for Rosaria. So he got in contact with unsavory characters, staged a bank robbery, and then went and got himself killed during the heist. Unsurprisingly, this practically broke Rosaria even more the moment she became aware of what had happened.
Soon after that, Rosaria committed three consecutive suicide attempts which all ended in failure, be it due to sloppy preparations or by lack of will to go through the attempt. She stopped trying after that, although thoughts of suicide continued to plague her mind even to this day.
Suicidal thoughts were not all that ailed her due to her traumas. She also started having hallucinations of her now deceased family members, both seeing them in her sight from time to time and also hearing their voices calling out and talking to her. For a long time, she struggled to accept this condition, her troubled mind finding it extremely difficult to separate reality with her hallucinations. In time however, in something that can be said as a twisted form of luck, the hallucinations instead became something that allowed her to go on with her life. She became accustomed to them enough that she can naturally recognize the hallucinations for what they truly were. Yet at the same time, she found a semblance of normalcy in responding to those hallucinations. After all, it was just like speaking to her dead family members. If fooling herself and pretending as if the hallucinations were real can make her feel better, she saw no reason not to do exactly that. Heck, the hallucinations even encouraged her to pursue her old passion of writing song and the few hobbies that she had. What was once an ailing curse was turned into a coping method by the troubled young lady.
Several years passed since then. Rosaria had came to become a fledgling freelance song writer that were able to make a decent living out of it. She was still the exact opposite of her cheerful nature from before the accident, seeing the world as bleak and horrible, but at least she was living decently nonetheless. Of course, guilt and regret never left her mind. If only she can change what had happened, she would do so without a second thought. She still lamented being a powerless individual, a nobody with no way whatsoever to truly make a difference in the world...
Then, that one event happened. A meteor falling from the sky, fascinating yet seemingly of no concern whatsoever to Rosaria's life. She didn't even really bother to care about it, seeing no reason to do so. She still wouldn't have bothered if not for the fact that she woke up one day, walked to the bathroom of her small private apartment room, and then saw a black half-transparent skull-faced apparition staring back at her from the mirror. That didn't even faze her at first, as she thought it was just her hallucination taking things to the next level, but then she realized that it wasn't a hallucination at all. She would know, she'd gotten really good at discerning reality from her hallucinations after all.
It didn't take long after that for gears to start moving inside Rosaria's head. She started experimenting with it, trying to see what she can and cannot do, what she can and cannot control about this weird thing going on with her. Could it be that she had somehow finally gained a way to be someone who mattered? Someone who can actually make a difference in the world in ways that would have been impossible before? She hesitated, wondering if she should even bother... But then it was the hallucination of her family members who pushed her to finally make a decision. They encouraged her, told her that this is a chance to make things right. Told her that this world could use someone like her to make things better.
So she decided to heed them in the end because she got nothing else to lose anyway. The world's a hell hole that was probably not deserving of heroes... But yeah, there's no harm in trying either. Might as well live and die a hero than live and die a nothing.
And the chance to start, it seems, came at just the right timing. The Precious Metal Vault is being robbed, and it's time to be a damn hero.
Anything Else: I used to have a decently good team of Electric Pokemons that I played competitively with back in high school.

#4. CS made for The Friestan Incident
Name
Khaltesh Anki du Oberia
Title
- Scion of Gaea
- 2nd Princess of Oberia
Informal Moniker
"Living Doll"
"The Darker Princess"
"Pint-sized Juggernaut"
Age
4 years old
Gender Identity
Technically none, often identified as female due to appearance
Marital Status
Single
Occupation
Royal Mage
Residency
Vhamos-Tyrr, Capital of Oberia
Appearance
An artificial sentient construct made of gears, reinforced steel skeleton and frame, and malleable magically-enchanted porcelain as her skin, Anki is mostly human in appearance. Indeed it would have been easy to mistake her for a human, if not for the fact that her entire body with the exception of her head is very obviously artificial in nature; black porcelain trimmed and decorated with light brown metal. Combined with the typical Gothic inspired style of dress that she is apt to wear, she very much fits the image of one of her informal moniker: "Living Doll".
Standing at 150cm (4 feet 11 inches) tall combined with a thin and slender frame, she is unmistakably quite petite. This can be rather misleading however, as she weights a total of exactly 100kg. Her "skin" is perfectly unblemished, the porcelain surface smooth and without even the slightest hint of imperfection. Due to the magical enchantment put into them, these porcelain surface also feels just like a human skin would to the touch. The same can be said of her hair, artificially made to perfectly mirror the silky texture of a very well cared for human hair. Even her eyes were made to be identical to real human eyes despite being made of enchanted glass and jewels. All in all, these perfections both served to make her entrancingly beautiful while at the same time also unmistakably unnatural.
She made for a contrasting duo with her "older sister" Spenta Armaiti. Whereas Anki can be called as having dark hues as her color theme, Armaiti is characterized as having bright hues instead.
Character & Personality
Anki is best described as being very calm, calculated, and observant; giving her the impression of being quiet and not very much one for socializing. In reality, she does not have any aversion towards interacting with other people; it is merely that she is placid in temperament. Highly intelligent and mature despite her young age, she also possessed a tempered sort of curiosity common among the academically brilliant. It is not surprising then that she very much enjoys reading, and if there is such thing that can be called as a hobby for her then it is unmistakably this very act.
Despite her maturity and serenity however, she does not shy away from shows of affection that can be seen as childish by some. While she is not particularly facially expressive of her emotions, she instead shows this with physical contact, readily hugging and clinging to those she deems as her precious people. In her belief, such actions are not at all childish, but are instead honest and true to herself.
Character Story
Anki was "born" in the Empire of Oberia, a country known for being one of the academic capitals of Friestan and one of the most advanced as well especially in terms of magic. Sentient constructs like herself are somewhat common in the Empire, courtesy of Emperor Tiberius Oberon himself who pioneered the very procedure that allowed for such miraculous creations. As a highly extraordinary and esteemed academic himself, Tiberius had managed to learn from his long years of academic researches and studies to combine mundane industrial processes such as steel working with the magical arts of Alchemy and Divine Magic. The mundane works created the vessel, Alchemy bestowed life to the vessel, and Divine Magic allowed a sentient mind to dwell within the newly living vessel. And with it all combined, a true sentient life emerged into existence.
As stated above, sentient constructs like herself are common in the Empire. Sentient constructs specifically of her kind however, are the opposite. Aside from Anki herself, there had only ever been one other "Living Doll", her "older sister" Spenta Armaiti. They are special in three particular ways. One, despite sentient constructs in general being unable to use magic, Anki and Armaiti are capable of using magic by utilizing the naturally occurring mana from the environment itself. Two, they are significantly more "human" than most other sentient constructs. Three, they are both adopted as daughters to the Emperor himself, making them of among the highest ranked of sentient constructs within the Empire. The Emperor is unmarried(and completely uninterested to do so) and without a child of his own, and he felt a fatherly affection towards Anki and Armaiti.
Despite her still short four years of life, Anki had achieved things that most people far older than herself would be hard pressed to achieve. Due to her immense potential for magic, she had became the Scion of Gaea, apprentice to the Lord of Gaea. The Lord of Gaea is one of the four Lords of Elemental, the four most powerful mages named as Royal High Mage by the Emperor himself. Many in the Empire and beyond had opined that considering her potentials, it is above all else mostly a matter of time and experience before she will achieve a level of magical prowess required to be a Lord of Elemental herself.
Regardless of all else, one thing pertaining to Anki can be said with near certainty: She is very young still, with near unlimited possibilities laid in front of her as she paved her own destiny.
Abilities
- Geomancy: An elemental magical art pertaining to the control and manipulation of the earth element. Anki is highly skilled as a Geomancer, capable of fine control and manipulation of the element. This ability of hers is enhanced further when she used it in tandem with Ur Terra, her magical scepter. Without Ur Terra, she can easily create a large 2 meter tall golem out of soil and stone, conjure a localized earthquake, or turn solid earthen ground into mud. With Ur Terra, she can instead create an even mightier 3 meter tall golem, conjure a bigger and more violent earthquake, or split open the ground to swallow and crush an opponent under it. Furthermore, the unnatural perfection of her body and skin mentioned before was also in part a product of her own Geomancy ability as she can easily fix or replace damaged parts of her own body; given enough time and concentration it is then possible to make the repair perfect.
- Armed Fighting: Ur Terra is no mere magical scepter. It is also made of highly durable materials making it suitable as a blunt weapon. While Anki's martial skills would be no match for an experienced fighter who dedicated themselves to their fighting art, she is still very well capable of defending herself even without relying on magic.
- Pint-sized Juggernaut: Despite her petite stature, being made of enchanted metal and porcelain made Anki significantly stronger and tougher than what a human can naturally achieve. Combined with her Geomancy allowing herself to strengthen the materials of her own body even further, it was unsurprising that she was given this moniker by those who had witnessed what she is physically capable of.
Reason for accepting this task
She wasn't so much as being told to investigate the mysterious meteor that had crashed within Dragonspire as she decided to investigate it out of her own will. It was instead her that asked for permission from her father the Emperor and her mentor the Lord of Gaea to be allowed to go on an expedition to investigate the crash. They gave the permission with a condition: She may not go on this expedition alone. Instead, she is to join up with other highly capable individuals who were also sent to investigate the crash by other countries allied with the Empire.
Miscellaneous Facts
- While there are now many individuals capable of making sentient constructs within the Empire, Anki and Armaiti were both personally created by the Emperor himself.
- While she is indeed the younger one of the two, Anki is in fact only a day younger than Armaiti.
- Despite(or perhaps exactly due to) not needing nor capable of actually eating or drinking, she is quite curious about the whole "ingestion of nutrients" thing that virtually all non-construct living being partakes in.
- She, like all other sentient constructs of the Empire, is capable of sleeping and in fact need to do so. Her form of sleeping is notably different than sleeping for other people; whereas non-construct living being sleep as part of their physical body's needs, Anki sleep to preserve the sentient mind given to her by the Divine Magic used during her creation. She required about 3 hours of sleep a day, and prolonged deprivation of sleep slowly but surely make her mind muddy and slow.
- Anki is very fond of plant lives, something that she had always felt even before her affinity for Geomancy was discovered.
- Her dressing style was due to her caregiver thinking it "fits such an adorable princess" instead of it being Anki's own decision. Having been dressed in Gothic inspired fashion since her "birth", she just never thought to try anything different.

#5. CS made for The Hourglass Order
Eun-Ji is a rather quiet individual, possessing a calm and contemplative demeanor. For the most parts, she is an individual with little personal ambitions. She would have been completely fine continuing to live a normal life as a commoner like her parents, yet instead her gift caused her to be what she now is, far away from a mundane and peaceful life. Thus she saw her gift in rather of a melancholic light; like destiny having a bit of fun out of her life. Furthermore, she's naturally honest and possessed of strong aversion towards lies and deception. Considering her line of work often necessitated the usage of such dishonest means, this made it even more of a dilemma for her.
Still, she's not in reality one of melancholic disposition, and thus had decided to still live her life as best she can; she saw no point in dwelling upon circumstances that are now out of her control.
Of purely Tan Keoulian heritage, Eun-Ji generally possessed the typical physical features of her people. At 158cm tall (5'2), she is of average height for an adult female Tan Keoulian. She is rather on the slim side and is well-toned, mostly owing to the athletics and martial arts training she received upon becoming a Lotus Sentry. This can be a bit difficult to perceive due to the way that she dresses, mostly wearing clothes inspired by the traditional clothing of Tan Keoul called Hanbok which are baggy dress that covers most of the wearer's upper body. Most of the clothes that she wears were brought over from Tan Keoul due to the fact that it was hard to find a tailor in Revidia who knew how to properly make Tan Keoulian clothes. They were all confused by the significant differences and complexities of what were basically very exotic fashion to them.
Her significantly long hair is typically done quite simply with a single front braid and a pair of pig tails on the back, giving it a more intricate look than it really is. A notable physical trait, if it is to be called as such, would be her much paler complexion in comparison to most other people of Tan Keoul.
Eun-Ji is completely fluent in Tan Keoulian, owing to it being her native language. Additionally, she is also fluent in Avincian as a matter of necessity. Furthermore she is semi fluent in Kanjikish and Rettanese, being able to hold conversations in the two languages quite well although not as capable of writing and reading the letters.
Eun-Ji's gift in magic pretty much defined what her life had ended up becoming. Born to a family of simple farmers, Eun-ji's life took a significant turn upon the discovery of her being a Skyborn; an already rare lineage made even rarer by the fact that she's not East Constantian. While her RAS score is rather average, it combined with her Skyborn lineage made her the perfect candidate for the Tan Keoulian's Lotus Sentries; the country's equivalent of a special operations force tasked with the protection of the country's internal stability via clandestine operations. In practice, she doesn't really need an extraordinary RAS score.
Eun-Ji's natural talents with magic are highly specialized. First and foremost, she is a Kinetic mage with a strong disposition toward Liquid Telekinesis. This natural specialty then became the focus point of her entire magical repertoire, as even the training she received upon her induction into the Lotus Sentries was centered on it. Given the best instructors that the organization can provide, these same instructors guided her to learn from the Arcane school of magic as her secondary specialization, specifically the utilization of illusion and misdirection that are unique to the school. Combined, these two specializations created something unique to Eun-Ji's magic: Illusion based not only on light, but reinforced by actual substance and corporeality in the form of liquid (most often water) instead of merely a trick of sight. She's even able to cause the illusion to vocalize thanks to the Kinetic school's manipulation of sound waves. All of these combined practically allowed her to create liquid clones of herself, her own unique spell: Mirage of Lotus.
Her training continues heavily along this line, with Eun-Ji constantly working on perfecting the Mirage of Lotus. However, due to this specialization (which can be argued as overspecialization) in liquid manipulation and illusion, she's not much good at anything else. She is able to conjure elementary spells such as creating licks of flames or the average fireball thanks to her Arcane training, or somewhat strengthen the impact of her physical strikes thanks to her Kinetic training, but such things are not her specialties and indeed remained at rather elementary level.
Being a Blackblood-Skyborn, Eun-Ji is middling in regards to the many determinants of spell power. She is much or less average in drawing efficiency, containment efficiency, and conversion efficiency. However, as part of her specialized training as a Lotus Sentry, she received intensive training in the practice of Freecasting, making her of considerable skill in being a Freecaster.
Born to a family of farmers, Eun-Ji's life prior to the discovery of her gift by the government was very much mundane and not unlike most other commoners. She went to a typical Gwanhak (public government school for commoners) for her education, helped with working in her family's farm, and played with her friends as all common children does. There are many that would consider such a life boring, but Eun-Ji was completely content with such a life. It was mundane and filled with hard work, but it was also honest and humble; a simple yet idyllic life. Her weird natural ability in manipulating liquid itself was no secret, it first happened when she were 8 years old, helping move containers of water around the farm. Somehow, she were able to make the water move by themselves, which were very convenient as far as watering the farm plants went. Yet the simple family and their friends didn't think much of it beyond that; they were simple people with simple aspirations. It simply made her especially helpful as a farmhand as far as everyone were concerned. In everyone's eyes including her own, her ability was no different from those parlor tricks that the not-quite-mages are able to do. Compared to that, it was then no surprise that the fact of her seemingly being far more agile, light-footed, and tireless compared to most other children weren't at all considered as anything unusual.
Of course, this all changed upon her gift coming to broader light. As part of the Tan Keoulian government's efforts in discovering talents like Eun-Ji's own, examinations were done for all children attending a Gwanhak once they reached the age of 15. Turned out the extend of her potential went far beyond "moving water around for watering farm plants". Being that Eun-Ji's RAS score very nearly reached the mark of 7, the government officials in charge of the examination knew immediately that they had found a valuable asset among the commoners. They took her aside away from the rest of her peers, performed more in-depth examinations on her, and found something even more intriguing. The things with her being far more agile, light-footed, and tireless than most other? Those were no fluke either. Those were because of Eun-Ji being a Skyborn. From there, things developed quite rapidly. The government officials immediately explained everything to Eun-Ji, offering her to work for the government with promises of wealth and elevated social positions and all such other benefits that would be nothing more than dreams for most commoners to ever possibly achieve.
And yet she refused, a humble life was all that the young Eun-Ji had ever wanted. All these things about greatness and magic and so on intimidated her; she didn't want to lose her peaceful life. No further promises of prosperity were able to change her mind... So the promises quickly changed to subtle threats of harm to herself, her family, and her friends. Underhanded remarks of how easy it would be for a village such as the one she lived in to disappear, how unfortunate it would be for that to happen. Eun-Ji quickly realized that the "offer" wasn't one that she can refuse. Left with no choice, she resigned herself to it. And so her blissful simple life promptly ended. What came next were things she would never even had thought of learning or doing at all before. Martial arts training, athletics training, magic training, espionage training, political indoctrination, training training training training training. "Long live the emperor, All hail Tan Keoul, For the prosperity of the Lotus we live."
Three years passed. Long enough of a time for a child to lose the innocence of her mind. "Fighting" every single day, not knowing when her own light might go out. Once an innocent crying child, now sharpened into a knife to pierce the heart of the emperor's enemies. The child's training with her appointed instructors were done, there wasn't anything left to learn from them. Yet there are others still that can help sharpen her. And where best to do so than in the school boasted to have the highest quality of education in the arts of magic?
Long resigned to her "destiny", Eun-Ji is motivated simply by the fact that she have no other choice but to continue doing her best. In her mind, there is clearly no way for her to be able to get away from her current path. Even attempting to do so will likely bring upon terrible consequences upon herself and her family and potentially even the village she once called home. Faced with such possibility, what else can she possibly do? Fear is as strong a motivation as any, if not even more than most others.
Thus continue doing her best she will, as such is what the great emperor and the prosperous Tan Keoul requires of her.
- As far as monetary wealth is concerned, being government funded meant it isn't really an issue for Eun-Ji. The money's not actually hers, so to speak, but regardless she will find no trouble in funding her study and daily life in the academy.
- Paper Talismans: Commonly used across Rettand in place of staff or wands, these paper talismans were specifically made to aid a mage with the process of Preservation. While Eun-Ji generally have little use of these due to her skill in freecasting, she still keeps them around just in case.
- Blank Talismans and ink pens: Tools to make more of the above talismans.
- Waist Case: Wooden ornamental case serving as Eun-Ji's bag.
- Books: Mostly philosophical tomes. She always bring at least one with her in her case, while the rest would be stashed in her dorm room.
- Meditation Mat: An otherwise simple linen mat, with intricate patterns and Tan Keoulian letters drawn upon it. As the name implied, this is used for meditation.
- Eun-Ji's true role as a Lotus Sentry for Tan Keoul is unsurprisingly being kept a secret from the people in the academy excepting those that need to know it. The cover story given to her was that she's just a cadet of the Tan Keoul Army's Mage Division.
- Eun-Ji's hobby is, unsurprisingly enough, reading. Additionally she also enjoyed fishing, which was accomodated by Tan Keoul being a heavily maritime country.
- Eun-Ji is fond of animals, partially influenced by her experiences in taking care of farm animals.
- She loves sour food but can't handle spicy food at all. Kimchi, which is basically a traditional Tan Keoul pickle, is a serious dilemma for her due to it generally being both sour and spicy.
- Eun-Ji and her family members are not religious, although they do follow a system of belief heavily based on the karma aspects.

"As young children, we learnt that it is wrong to put out the light of another. Yet inevitably, innocence will be lost over time. And all became but means to an end, even as the voice in our heart kept telling us that it's wrong."

Eun-Ji is a rather quiet individual, possessing a calm and contemplative demeanor. For the most parts, she is an individual with little personal ambitions. She would have been completely fine continuing to live a normal life as a commoner like her parents, yet instead her gift caused her to be what she now is, far away from a mundane and peaceful life. Thus she saw her gift in rather of a melancholic light; like destiny having a bit of fun out of her life. Furthermore, she's naturally honest and possessed of strong aversion towards lies and deception. Considering her line of work often necessitated the usage of such dishonest means, this made it even more of a dilemma for her.
Still, she's not in reality one of melancholic disposition, and thus had decided to still live her life as best she can; she saw no point in dwelling upon circumstances that are now out of her control.

Of purely Tan Keoulian heritage, Eun-Ji generally possessed the typical physical features of her people. At 158cm tall (5'2), she is of average height for an adult female Tan Keoulian. She is rather on the slim side and is well-toned, mostly owing to the athletics and martial arts training she received upon becoming a Lotus Sentry. This can be a bit difficult to perceive due to the way that she dresses, mostly wearing clothes inspired by the traditional clothing of Tan Keoul called Hanbok which are baggy dress that covers most of the wearer's upper body. Most of the clothes that she wears were brought over from Tan Keoul due to the fact that it was hard to find a tailor in Revidia who knew how to properly make Tan Keoulian clothes. They were all confused by the significant differences and complexities of what were basically very exotic fashion to them.
Her significantly long hair is typically done quite simply with a single front braid and a pair of pig tails on the back, giving it a more intricate look than it really is. A notable physical trait, if it is to be called as such, would be her much paler complexion in comparison to most other people of Tan Keoul.
L A N G U A G E S
Eun-Ji is completely fluent in Tan Keoulian, owing to it being her native language. Additionally, she is also fluent in Avincian as a matter of necessity. Furthermore she is semi fluent in Kanjikish and Rettanese, being able to hold conversations in the two languages quite well although not as capable of writing and reading the letters.
T H E G I F T
Eun-Ji's gift in magic pretty much defined what her life had ended up becoming. Born to a family of simple farmers, Eun-ji's life took a significant turn upon the discovery of her being a Skyborn; an already rare lineage made even rarer by the fact that she's not East Constantian. While her RAS score is rather average, it combined with her Skyborn lineage made her the perfect candidate for the Tan Keoulian's Lotus Sentries; the country's equivalent of a special operations force tasked with the protection of the country's internal stability via clandestine operations. In practice, she doesn't really need an extraordinary RAS score.
Eun-Ji's natural talents with magic are highly specialized. First and foremost, she is a Kinetic mage with a strong disposition toward Liquid Telekinesis. This natural specialty then became the focus point of her entire magical repertoire, as even the training she received upon her induction into the Lotus Sentries was centered on it. Given the best instructors that the organization can provide, these same instructors guided her to learn from the Arcane school of magic as her secondary specialization, specifically the utilization of illusion and misdirection that are unique to the school. Combined, these two specializations created something unique to Eun-Ji's magic: Illusion based not only on light, but reinforced by actual substance and corporeality in the form of liquid (most often water) instead of merely a trick of sight. She's even able to cause the illusion to vocalize thanks to the Kinetic school's manipulation of sound waves. All of these combined practically allowed her to create liquid clones of herself, her own unique spell: Mirage of Lotus.
Her training continues heavily along this line, with Eun-Ji constantly working on perfecting the Mirage of Lotus. However, due to this specialization (which can be argued as overspecialization) in liquid manipulation and illusion, she's not much good at anything else. She is able to conjure elementary spells such as creating licks of flames or the average fireball thanks to her Arcane training, or somewhat strengthen the impact of her physical strikes thanks to her Kinetic training, but such things are not her specialties and indeed remained at rather elementary level.
Being a Blackblood-Skyborn, Eun-Ji is middling in regards to the many determinants of spell power. She is much or less average in drawing efficiency, containment efficiency, and conversion efficiency. However, as part of her specialized training as a Lotus Sentry, she received intensive training in the practice of Freecasting, making her of considerable skill in being a Freecaster.
B A C K G R O U N D
Born to a family of farmers, Eun-Ji's life prior to the discovery of her gift by the government was very much mundane and not unlike most other commoners. She went to a typical Gwanhak (public government school for commoners) for her education, helped with working in her family's farm, and played with her friends as all common children does. There are many that would consider such a life boring, but Eun-Ji was completely content with such a life. It was mundane and filled with hard work, but it was also honest and humble; a simple yet idyllic life. Her weird natural ability in manipulating liquid itself was no secret, it first happened when she were 8 years old, helping move containers of water around the farm. Somehow, she were able to make the water move by themselves, which were very convenient as far as watering the farm plants went. Yet the simple family and their friends didn't think much of it beyond that; they were simple people with simple aspirations. It simply made her especially helpful as a farmhand as far as everyone were concerned. In everyone's eyes including her own, her ability was no different from those parlor tricks that the not-quite-mages are able to do. Compared to that, it was then no surprise that the fact of her seemingly being far more agile, light-footed, and tireless compared to most other children weren't at all considered as anything unusual.
Of course, this all changed upon her gift coming to broader light. As part of the Tan Keoulian government's efforts in discovering talents like Eun-Ji's own, examinations were done for all children attending a Gwanhak once they reached the age of 15. Turned out the extend of her potential went far beyond "moving water around for watering farm plants".

❖ Athletics: As a Lotus Sentry, Eun-Ji were trained to be considerably athletic. Specifically for her, she is given even more intensive training in regards to physical speed, agility, and flexibility to take advantage of her lineage as a Skyborn.
❖ Martial Art: Similarly, Eun-Ji were trained in the Tan Keoulian martial art of Seun-chi-go up to an adept level as per Lotus Sentry standard. The martial art takes advantage of quick and precise movements among other things, fitting quite well with Eun-Ji's athletic capabilities.
❖ Calmness: Eun-Ji is in general capable of remaining calm under pressure and even in intense situations.
❖ Honesty: Due to Eun-Ji being very honest, people are more likely to trust her.
❖ Philosophical Knowledge: Due to her natural predisposition towards philosophical thought, Eun-Ji is quite knowledgeable in regards to philosophy.

| APPEARANCE |
Cerise is of fair complexion, possessing short near-white hair with a faint tint of rosy hue that is usually adorned with a simple dark hued headband which contrasted well with her hair. A calm expression with a soft smile most often graced her face, showing an innocence that remained despite the world she now lives in. Standing at 153cm(5 feet) tall, her figure is slender and thin, a result of both being turned into a Revenant in her teenage years and due to a certain other cause back when she were still a human. The most unusual of her facial features are her eyes; a case of heterochromia with her left eye being light green and her right eye light blue.
During downtime she prefers to wear long-sleeved shirts which are topped with a loose-fitting dress and then covered further with a significantly oversized dress coat as her tops, and simple skirts for bottom. These clothing are often old and worn, salvaged ones that are damaged but otherwise still functional. A pair of long below-knees socks and a pair of comfortable shoes completes her ensemble.
In action, a sturdier get-up covers her body. Thick, dark-hued long-sleeved sweater topped with thicker still military style coat protects her from the elements without restricting her freedom of movements. Her mask, an essential part of this set of "mission" outfit, is of simple functional design and is lightweight, colored black with red lines and logo of the same tint as the color of her glowing red eyes when engaging her blood power.

| PERSONALITY |
Calm・Docile・Emphatic・Trusting・Warm
A calm girl with a warm demeanor, Cerise is one of those individuals who retained a significant degree of positivity despite the horrible state of the world. She continues to believe that there is hope yet for a peaceful world where people no longer need to live in fear of a constant and ever present threat, and that this can be achieved so long as people cooperated with and trust each other. It is natural then that her disposition is that of care, trust, and warmth toward her fellow survivors whom she sees as dear comrades to support each other with.
On the flip side, this naturally warm disposition came with a kind of docility and almost unbearable innocence. She is unlikely to argue with others, believing that she should not force her opinions and thoughts on others, even when it is actually better to debate and argue for her sake or others or both. At the extreme, some people might see her as someone who cannot stand up to her own principles due to how easily she backs down from arguments. Furthermore, her tendency to trust can backfire badly, as there are of course people that really should not be trusted.

Type B - Arachne
A very significant part of her repertoire of abilities that made up for her rather low raw physical capabilities for a Revenant, Cerise's control over her blood power is on the higher side of the scale; not in anyway perfect and with rooms for growth but also not to be underestimated. The speed upon which she is able to turn into shadowy tendrils to disappear is higher than average, matched by the high accuracy of reappearing exactly where she wanted to. The distance upon which she is able to perform this teleportation, while remaining short, is also higher than average. Furthermore, she is able to use her shadowy tendrils to attach herself to most solid surfaces. This allowed her to reappear in unusual places such as upside down on a ceiling or hanging with her back attached to a wall, greatly complimenting her ability as a scout and sharpshooter.
The signature energy color of her blood power is Cerise, just like her current name.

| BACKGROUND |
Little remained of the memories that made up Cerise's past. Even her current name was something that she took on sometime after becoming a Revenant, her birth name unknown to even herself. What she were able to recall of her past came in fleeting fragments, as if pieces of a puzzle that were waiting to be made whole yet remaining impossible due to the numerous missing pieces.
Images. Studying alone inside a room. Holding hands with smiling figures. Setting sun across the far horizon. Falling leaves in Autumn. A plain hospital room covered in the light of dusk. A stern faced man in a white coat. Machinery. Dozens of medicine bottles. Plain white ceiling. The previous smiling figures, now crying. Bloodied bed sheets. A dark hospital room. The white ceiling, ruined. Blinding bright lights | Scents. Faint fragrance of cherry blossoms. Aroma of kitchen spices. Sweet scent of sugar. Sterile odor of a hospital. Artificial smell of medicines. Metallic tang of blood. Stench of the dying | Sounds. The chirping of little birds. Bright laughter of a girl. A train passing through on its rails. Gentle breeze of wind. Mechanical beeping. Drops of rain hitting a window. Sorrowful crying. Mechanical whirring. Horror filled screams. Booming explosion. Liquid dripping on solid surface. Soft mumbled whispers.
Even the memories of her early time as a Revenant were nothing more than blurs for her. She couldn't remember exactly when and where she awakened as one of the living dead. Still, regardless of all her lost memories, Cerise convinced herself that it didn't matter. She resolved that it were the present and the future that needed caring. Despite the dark and bleak world, there remained hope that the world can be fixed. Much of it might be fragmented and blurry, but she can clearly remember that for many years, she had remained on the move. Always in the company of others, supporting and helping each other in the struggle to survive and to rebuild what can be rebuilt. Thus, she believed that she needed to continue doing so. Who she really were in the past doesn't have any effect on the things that she were able to do to survive and build a better future for herself and her comrades.
Yet, was that really the truth? Deep down, under all the optimism and positivity, there were fear and dread. The girl who called herself Cerise was in reality frightened of her own lost memories. One day, if the puzzle ever become complete, would she really remain the same person? If the fragments were gathered and became whole, what will be waiting for her? In the end, were everything that she had done nothing more than distraction? A way for her to run away from the unknown still waiting for her? She cannot help but fear it. Every time she recalled of the images, the scents, and the sounds, nothing ever came out of it.
Nothing, except for the crushing pain grasping at her heart.

| SKILLS / EQUIPMENT |
SKILLS:
・Scouting: Cerise had developed significant capabilities in scouting and stealth owing to her many years of experience in fleeing from dangers, remaining hidden, scavenging, identifying potential threats or supplies, analyzing terrains and routes, spotting unusual details, and properly keeping information on all of it.
・Sharpshooting & Spotting: Cerise's preferred method of engagement when combat is unavoidable is to provide long ranged support for her allies, making up for her lower physical capabilities for a Revenant and her lack of any significant close combat capabilities. Developed to a rather high level, Cerise is capable of providing support not only by sniping and eliminating crucial targets, but also by spotting incoming threats and accordingly alerting her comrades of their presence.
・Shrink: Due to her empathic and warm personality, Cerise made for a naturally capable psychological shrink despite having no formal training in it. She is always ready to provide a shoulder to lean on and ears to patiently listen to the worries and fears of her friends and allies without judgment.
EQUIPMENT:
・Lariat: Cerise's weapon. A long scoped rifle fitted with a blade under the muzzle, Lariat packs a lot of punch with each shot to compensate for its slow rate of fire. In the hands of a capable sharpshooter like Cerise, it is potentially capable of eliminating targets as far as 900 meters away. As for the blade, it was made not for the purpose of eliminating hostiles, but rather to keep them at bay and to give Cerise a better chance in withdrawing from close ranged engagements.
・Mask: Simple and lightweight, Cerise's mask provides her with the standard functions of a Revenant's purifier mask, mainly to protect her from the harmful effects of the Lost's miasma.

As for the blade, it was made not for the purpose of eliminating hostiles, but rather to keep them at bay and to give Cerise a better chance in withdrawing from close ranged engagements.
・Mask: Simple and lightweight, Cerise's mask provides her with the standard functions of a Revenant's purifier mask, mainly to protect her from the harmful effects of the Lost's miasma.
| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES |
・Low Physical Capabilities: Cerise possessed below average strength and vitality for a Revenant. While she remains somewhat stronger and can endure more damage than a human, she is unlikely to win any contest in those aspects against even just the average Revenant. Furthermore, her stamina and agility are also only average for a Revenant, thus her great reliance on her blood power when driven into a pinch.
・Low Close Combat Capabilities: Low physical capabilities alone can be compensated by possessing superior skills. For example, a slower and weaker swords master is still going to easily outperform and defeat a faster and stronger swords newbie. Alas, Cerise possessed no such skill, making her ineffective in close quarter combat.
・Docile: Her docile nature can be a significant disadvantage in crucial situations. This great aversion towards argument and debate comes with the risk of letting go of her ideas even when she knows that doing so can be detrimental to herself and her comrades.
・Trusting: Her tendency to easily trust others is an easy path for unsavory individuals to exploit and take advantage of her otherwise affable nature.

#7. CS made for Advent of the Dawn
A young woman of Romanian descent. Teodora stands at 164cm (5′4) tall, which is of average height for a young adult female of her heritage. She is of slender build, with only slight muscle tone as a result of her training as a Chi-Mechframe pilot. Out of her formal duty uniform or Chi-Mechframe, her physicality does not look like that of a soldier at all (because she still technically isn't). Having a slightly pale complexion, long flowing locks of light blond hair framed her face, accentuating her vivid red eyes well. An eager smile showing curiosity fueled by mischief is often shown on her face, and at a time when this smile grows wide enough, a pair of longer than usual canine teeth can be seen in her mouth.
Belonging to a particularly wealthy family, in her daily life Teodora tends to wear long-sleeved European style dresses that hinted at said wealth (although this was done less because of a deliberate intent to show off and more out of a habit that goes all the way to her childhood). This typical getup is usually accompanied with an equally intricate looking hair band and a pair of long, usually black overknee socks.
In short, she usually looks like a rich and confident young woman (because she is).
Teodora's personality as a person is most easily defined by the self-assured aura that she seems to exude almost all the time. This confidence, which at times definitely stumbles into the scale of being overconfident, in turn fueled her relaxed and happy-go-lucky attitude regardless of the trouble or obstacle that she might be facing at any given time. While she is also not at all arrogant and is very unlikely to intentionally brag, this confidence can nevertheless be too much to handle by others, resulting in intersocial discord that is often one sided due to Teodora not even realizing or caring that she's being despised by the individual(s) in question.
Furthermore, while she had recently matured from doing full on childish mischief, some degree of mischievousness remains within her. At best, this tendency may provoke her into playfully teasing others with a light jab or two, which might even be appreciated by those that are not averse to such playfulness. At worst however, she had been witnessed to treat even real time combat situations as if some amusing games, thus potentially severely endangering herself and others.
In conclusion, while her personality is in general not a cause of concern out of the battlefield, it very much represents an operational risk inside of one. A firm guidance from an on-field leader figure, which Teodora fortunately generally accepts readily, is practically essential in ensuring that potentially hazardous consequences does not come to pass during field missions.
Of Romanian heritage, Teodora was born to a very successful business magnate father and an equally successful xenobiologist mother. As such, Teodora lived an entitled life of abundance for virtually all her life, never truly exposed to the typical hardships faced by people of middle and lower classes of socioeconomic status. That her parents pretty much spoiled her due to Teodora being an only child did not help the situation. It was thus quite fortunate that Teodora never really developed the arrogance and callousness that are typical of a spoiled child from a wealthy family, instead 'merely' developing a form of very strong self-assured, very relaxed, and somewhat mischievous characters. It was this fact that made her generally likeable to the people that she interacted with as a child, although on the flip side this tendency of being liked had perhaps contributed into furthering her personality in turn as if an endless loop of positive reinforcement feedback.
Even when things started to become dire and nearly the whole world became a ruined one, Teodora and her family had it much much better than most. While the family nevertheless lost incalculable amount of assets as many of Mr. Constanza's international business ventures went down in flames like most others, they still had more than enough to continue living a good life within the relative safety of Tokyo, especially because the family also possessed some businesses within the city itself. Teodora herself quickly adapted to life in the Japanese capital and went on to continue living her happy-go-lucky life without a care in the world.
And yet, despite her very good life, she shared one thing in common with most other people who ended up becoming a Chi-Mechframe pilot. That one thing was an accident, although in Teodora's case it was pretty much entirely her own fault. On that one day of the accident, she had visited the laboratory where her mom worked as one of those researchers that were researching the enigmatic Warped to better understand them. Echidna specimens were among the samples being researched there. For the most part, strict security procedures made it very unlikely for any sort of accident to happen within the laboratory. Unfortunately, even the most stringent measures can still fail due to human errors; especially if said errors were then unknowingly exploited by an overly curious and mischievous seventeen years old teenager.
Long story short, Teodora was rewarded with an Echidna infection for her mischievousness. Brief chaos ensued, although fortunately Teodora ended up being the only victim of the accident. Soon after, people were immediately divided in heated debates about how to treat the now infected girl. Many were pragmatic, with a few even downright suggesting to turn her into a sample for experiment despite the fact that she was still very much alive and unmutated. In the end, it was her parents' clout and influences that won the day. She ended up merely being confined in an isolated yet very comfortable chamber where her condition were monitored closely twenty four hours a day. In the end, fortune smiled yet again to the girl, as soon it became clear that she was an asymptomatic carrier of the parasite.
Unsurprisingly, the offer then eventually came. This offer became a chance that Teodora ended up taking on very eagerly despite some misgivings by her father. In the end however, with her mother actively supporting the decision and her father once more giving in to the wish of his ever spoiled beloved daughter, Teodora shortly after started her training to be a Chi-Mechframe pilot. Notably, however, the reason for her acceptance was not out any sense of duty or a higher calling to act on the opportunity that her unusual condition had bestowed upon her. She did not decide to become a Chi-Mechframe pilot because she wanted to save the world, nor out of a hatred of the Warped. No. In her own words, her reason was because "It all sounds super interesting! And I'm sure I'll perfectly ace it... Whatever 'it' might be!"
And now, some time had passed since the day that she started her training as a pilot. The young wealthy scion of the Constanza family continued her happy-go-lucky life that had became spiced with things that were most definitely far from boring.
Throughout her life, despite being very much spoiled and living a very entitled life, Teodora nevertheless proved to be a young talented individual with her own set of notable skills:
- Fencer: Teodora is an adept fencer, with years of training since she were as young as 6 years old under several different master fencers hired by her parents to be her instructor.
- Gunner: A skill she cultivated slowly over many years from frequent visits to exclusive shooting ranges accompanying her father. She's far from an expert gunner, but she's able to shot as decently as any other well trained individual.
- High Bearing: Living her entire life as a high class citizen, Teodora is very much well attuned to the social intricacies of the socioeconomical elite.
- Multilingual: Teodora is fluent in Romanian, English, and Japanese.
Named after the symphony 'Marche Au Supplice' (March to the Scaffold), Supplice was built around the core of a peculiar bird-like Warped. The Warped itself was rather middling in its overall raw capabilities. It was formidable in that it had no particular weakness, and yet at the same time none of its parameter was particularly high. It was somewhat strong, somewhat fast, somewhat agile, and somewhat durable, yet that was it. A jack of all trades but master of none.
Still, there was one thing that discerned it and made it unique. It had an energy barrier which when fully breached allowed it to launch a single stream of large and powerful beam attack. It was like a last resort ability, energy from the breached barrier was transferred back inside the creature which then were able to unleash that energy as an attack.
Supplice imitated this Warped's capabilities. It is a balanced multipurpose frame possessing:
- Above average parameters in strength, speed, agility, and resilience augmentations; lacking a weak point yet also lacking any particular powerful parameter.
- Flight, emulated via a pair of jet-powered wings.
- Beam attacks in the form of a beam rapier, a single beam blade on each wing, and a medium range beam rifle.
- Energy barrier of above average durability. In the event of this barrier being breached, Supplice will be able to use the barrier's energy to launch either a large, powerful beam wave from the rapier or a large, powerful stream of beam from the rifle. Note that the barrier cannot regenerate by itself; like damage to the Chi-Mechframe itself, it will need to be fixed back at base during maintenance.
- Additionally, Supplice also comes equipped with a small combat knife, and its rifle is capable of firing standard ammunition. These emergency measures are both significantly inferior to the standard beam attacks but nonetheless made to be effective against the Warped.
