a meanie bo beanie has appeared

Juri Han [+]

Name: Juri Han
Origin: Street Fighter
Appearance:

The Spider [+]

Personality: A cruel young woman who enjoys destroying and dominating. A hedonistic thrill-seeker with a mean streak a mile wide, Juri Han is no stranger to the physical pleasures this world has to offer. And no stranger to death and murder, either. She insults and berates most people around her for their perceived weaknesses. Spend enough time around her and one might discover the gaps in the façade. She finds her life has a lack of purpose and direction. It's her own fault because she pushes everyone away with her hideous demeanor, but she is also lonely.

Juri hates rules and being told what to do. She hates tyrants and authoritarianism. Anyone who is true to themselves and lives for themselves can earn Juri's respect, and she has worked with others in the past to achieve her own ends. Mainly power, or revenge. She has a soft spot for animals, particularly arachnids. She'll kill other killers without a second thought but tends to let other people who get in her way off with a harsh beating.

She has acted selflessly in the past, coming to the rescue of others in need. Ask her why, and risk being insulted, or assaulted should one push their luck. She leaves the truly innocent out of it, and when she spots the truly evil, they disgust her.

Despite her thuggish, short-sighted behavior, Juri is highly educated and well-read.

Juri is no stoic. She possesses an excitable, curious demeanor, if only often to find out whatever the 'problems' are and exploit them. Should something be too boring, she'll immediately discard it and try to find the next thing to entertain her. There's playfulness about her that can make her appear almost innocent. Often times she'll play up the crazy killer role, despite being quite grounded in reality. All this to say, Juri Han is a very complicated woman.

Background:Juri Han was a martial arts prodigy at a young age. Extremely studious, she worked hard to make her parents proud. Even as a young girl she couldn't deny the thrill of destroying her opponents. She loved her mother and greatly respected her father, who was renowned nation-wide in Korea for working as a criminal prosecutor. But when he went after Shadoloo, the evil Dictator M. Bison struck back. In the attack, Juri's parents were murdered, and she lost her left eye. Whatever life Juri Han could have had was over. Juri learned the only real law in this world was the law of violence. Kill or be killed.

Juri sought power, greater strength, and revenge against M. Bison. To this end she joined the rival criminal organization SIN as a researcher. She built much of the technology behind the Feng Shui Engine herself. She worked for Seth, the android. When all out war broke about between SIN and Shadaloo, Juri enjoyed the chaos, and played both sides. Eventually she betrayed Seth, killing one of his last back-up bodies, and took over. She made an attempt on M. Bison's life by herself, but failed. SIN didn't last long under her rule. Despite having actually conned, duped, and backstabbed her way into the power she claimed to be so hungry for, she quickly let it all come to ruin because of the responsibility involved and lack of direction. It's not like she actually wanted to take over the world or deal crazy psycho power drugs or run an army or whatever the hell it was evil overlords did all day. It was way too much work and not her style. After murdering anyone else who worked on the Feng Shui Engine so only she would know its secrets, she left.

Eventually M. Bison's evil schemes caught up to him, and he attracted the attention of the heroes of the world. Juri was no hero but she was an opportunist who took advantage to get revenge. While she did help save the world, and even saved some of the heroes from harm (there's nothing she hates more than brainwashing) in the end the one who got the pleasure of killing M. Bison was that goody two-shoes Ryu.

Part of her chaotic nature is sometimes doing selfless things for no reason. Why she re-programmed and resurrected Seth in a new body and let him roam free, she has no idea. Maybe it was just kinda funny?

No longer having revenge as an excuse for her schemes, she has spent her days since wandering around trying to find something to do, working contract jobs as hired muscle or assassinations. To what end, she doesn't know. There's a sense of tragedy about her, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for her to hide it.

In the Now: Juri is as aimless as ever, but the World of Light has presented her with ample opportunity for distraction. She has been going around stirring up trouble and trying to find ways to entertain herself. Naturally this means finding work to fund her habits. And with Juri almost anything is on the table.

Job: Scout
Specialty: Close-range Rushdown
Inventory: Feng Shui Engine: The artificial left eye given to her by SIN. She can use her ki to empower it for dramatic effect and returns. By itself, however, it is capable of detecting and giving her a general gauge of the power level of a sentient being she scans with it. It's also a universal input and output port for her hacking skills.

Smart Phone: A modern day cellular device capable of long ranged communication, access to networks, currency, a wide host of boring games Juri hates, camera, pictures of spiders, identification, etc.

Sports Motorcycle: For travelling around at high speed. For leisure or business.

Lv: 5
EXP: 0/10
Abilities: (Powers, spells, special moves, an iconic piece of equipment, and so forth)

• Feng Shui Engine - Access to the powerful array of abilities her artificial eye grants her, including scanning for a nearby power levels and hacking, and with further level ups, super attacks and techniques.
• Fuhajin Stocks - She can enhance her special moves by doing a ki-enhanced kick. This increases the utility of her special moves in a variety of ways. She can store up to four.
• Drive Gauge - Six internal 'bars' of energy to be used for various Drive techniques. It is expended on blocking, working as a guard meter. The upside compared to say, Sakura or Karin, is that while she has Drive Gauge, she takes no chip damage, and reduced blockstun. She starts with the ability to spend two bars of Drive Gauge to use a powerful Overdrive Art. Overdrive Arts are powerful versions of her special moves, made even more effective if combined with a Fuhajin.

Skills: (Passive abilities, outstanding ‘stats’, and talents/proficiencies)

• Taekwondo Ki User: - A martial artist of superhuman strength, speed, and skill. Able to easily overpower common force multipliers such as mundane swords, guns, explosives, etc. She can project her internal force and energy out from herself with dangerous close ranged ki projectiles.
• Speed - Juri is incredibly fast and agile, even by Street Fighter standards.
• Skill Name - Skill Description
• Skill Name - Skill Description

Weaknesses: (Practical limitations, detrimental ‘stats’, and deficiencies. Include three)

• Burnout State - Once out of Drive Gauge, she incurs many weaknesses. She takes increased chip damage and block stun, and loses access to all Drive related techniques, making her defense severely weaker and limiting her damage dealing. While in Burnout, a significantly hard impact will Stun her, leaving her helpless for several seconds. Even if she blocks an attack it is possible to Stun her should she hit the environment hard enough as a result.
  
  She loses Drive Gauge when she blocks, when she is hit with a punish counter, or when she is hit with an attack that costs the opponent some of their own resource. Super, mana, energy, focus, whatever it may be, if it is a limited power it will take away some of her Drive Gauge on hit depending on the damage and cost.
• Punish Counter - While Juri is able to capitalize off the mistakes of her enemies with her techniques, there is a tangible benefit from doing the same to her. Catching her in the recovery of performing an attack will sap some of her Drive Gauge and exacerbate the effects of the the attack. For example, an attack that might have normally just knocked her back a few steps may rattle her energy for her to collapse to her knees should it hit her after she missed an attack.
• Short Range - While she has numerous methods of closing the gap that might make her dangerous an opponent who relies on long range, she has no notable proficiency in anything like marksmanship. Her ki attacks are mostly just for controlling space just outside of the range of her hands and feet.

Spirits: (Any spirits your character possesses should be listed here with their type)

• Spirit name - Type

Rapport: (You can keep track of your Rapport here. As you level up Rapports, consider linking the posts here and listing what they give you)

• Character A / Character B - D Rank 3/5

I have made another lost number

Dr Amelia Yu [+]

Name: Dr Amelia Yu ( formerly specimen 27)
Origin: A creation of Dr. Vahlen and Alex Yu combining human, sectoid and typhon dna

Appearance: Dr Yu is a human Sectoid hybrid, within whose veins squirm the black tendrils of a typhon rather than blood, giving her a rather sickly complexion, as if she is necrotized. She tends to wear form covering garbs as a result, generally a lab coat, surgical gloves and face masks, complemented by some kind of colorfully patterned head scarf.

Personality: She has generally a rather obliging personality, with a seemingly preternatural ability to get people on her goodside. Naturally inquisitive, she will attempt to examine and/or take apart anything new she comes across. A pacifist who is physically unable to be around death and violence, even if her work is often in the facilitation of such things.

Background: N/A
In the Now:

Dr Yu is the result of dubiously ethical experiments performed by the scientist Dr. Vahlen in conjunction with Alex Yu. Having both found themselves trapped in a well fortified laboratory deep within the underground complex of Black Mesa, one infested with alien horrors from dozens of worlds, the pair used the facilities there to grow numerous biological weapons using samples acquired from within and without the laboratory.

The 27th of these was the future Dr Yu , who was designed to combine her two alien components' psychic abilities into something far more potent than that of either source species. In some ways this was a complete success, as the specimen exhibited numerous psychic powers, but unfortunately to use them it needed to feed the typhon aspect of her physiology. Not only was this the opposite effect the doctors had hoped for, intending for the sectoid component to provide the power source of the psychic powers, but the act of consumption was also highly distressing to the subject herself.

This reaction, however, essentially saved her life, as Alex Yu found this level of empathy in a subject so otherwise dominated by their typhon aspects to be fascinating. That, combined with a propensity for quick learning, is what got her put in the position of research assistant rather than being used as another soldier for her creator’s war for survival.

Though initially kept at arm's length, time and proximity slowly turned her, if not into the daughter she was, then at least into a well liked colleague, which was enough for her to be able to take on a name: Amelia.

There was certainly plenty of time for this closeness to build, for it was a long, long war, with there seeming to be no end to the extra terrestrial horrors. It was so long that Amelia’s creator’s time came to an unceremonious end as their 10 year clocks ran out, and she was left to carry on their work in their stead, being granted the title of Dr and the last name of Yu in her creators’, her parents’, respective dying words.

She tried to give her own creations, own children, some of what her own creators had only given her in her last moments at first, then tried to return to the old detachment she had had before when that broke her heart, only to find she could not. The arrival of the unstoried seeking to destroy the guardian at the heart of the facility was thus the only thing that saved her from withering away behind the locked doors of her birthplace, unable to make any more soldiers to fight in her defense or to even gather supplies.

After being shown kindness and telling their story, she aided the unstoried in reaching the guardian using her knowledge of the facility and then, at their side, at last escaped the palace that had become her parent's tomb, and saw the sun for the first time.

It was a brightness in her life that could not last.

The Consul came, her new friends fell, and she was left lost and alone in a dangerous world.

She turned her skills from creation to enhancement, finding an occupation as a biomodder and ripperdoc until one of the lost numbers coincidentally came to her for her services, and she without hesitation, joined them on their quest.

Job: Scientist
Specialty: Reverse engineering and biological enhancement

Inventory: Dr Yu always has at least some surgical and engineering equipment, be it for fixing things, or taking them apart to find out how they tick. If she ever is armed, it will be a stun pistol with which she has only passing skill.

Lv: 5
Abilities:
Psionic Empathy: The doctor’s one power that does not need powering by feeding on consciousnesses is the one that makes doing so repulsive to her. It does however help in social situations a fair deal, as she can passively read other’s emotions and the impact she is having on them.
Elemental psionics: If fed, the doctor can unleash powerful kinetic, thermal, or electrical blasts as either long range bolts or shorter range sprays.
Psionic necromancy: If fed, the doctor can reanimate the dust of the fallen into Typhon Phantoms, humanoid creatures able to use psionics of a single one element. The process takes only a few seconds, and can be repeated every dozen, but if she dies, or her concentration is disrupted by something like a flashbang, the phantoms will expire.
Skills:
Surgical enhancement: able to instal cybernetics, psymods, biomods, and other such enhancements if she has the materials for such things
Surgical dissection: can ‘dissect’ a spirit, destroying it in the process but in return gaining knowledge on how to create an item that it would have given when crushed.

Weaknesses:
Typhon feeding: Dr Yu’s well of psionic power can only be fed by feeding on the consciousness of others, a thing that can only be done with skin to skin contact, and which is also absolutely repulsive to her.
Sectoid constitution: takes double damage from melee weapons
Hybrid anatomy: the doctor’s insides are not in any medical journals, and would take extensive and repeated live dissections to chart out, meaning anything that requires surgery, be it healing or enhancement, is simply not on the table.

<Snipped quote by DracoLunaris>

That's another very interesting and creative Lost Number. The only thing I'd want adjusted is the strength related to spirits. Your character can be good at reverse-engineering technology, but I would rather not involve spirits.

Lost Number: Duskwing [+]

Name: Duskwing
Origin: Spyro (Spyro) x Brightwing (Heroes of the Storm)
Appearance: Duskwing looks mostly like her mother, but with a less chubby, more western dragon form with purple-blueish scales instead of aqua scales. Still has the frog tongue and butterfly wings though.
Personality: Duskwing takes more after her father more than her mother, which is great for everyone involved.
Background: N/A
In the Now: One day while Spyro was doing his forever task of finding gemstones and freeing dragons in his ever repeating 10 year cycle, he bumped into and freed a peculiar dragon that looked like a mix of a frog, butterfly, and chamelion named Brightwing. Of course, the 'known to be crazy' Brightwing was enamored by her 'hero friend' and making a bit of a game of it, followed him around. At first she was... ok? A bit creepy with her sing song voice, but she was helpful. Especially with helping deal with Consul K, who had a vendetta against Spyro.

One thing lead to another, and the two ended up having Duskwing. Although they weren't around for too long to raise her before their cycle was up, but they could at least introduce her to the Lost Numbers before they went. Duskwing having picked up many of her mother's creepiness, but having more of her father's heroic but 'done with this' personality. Probably for the best, as Spyro never got to see Brightwing's dark side if they had managed to take down Consul K...

Job: Crowd Control Healer
Specialty: Duskwing heals her allies around her while using her fairy magic to disable enemies trying to attack her and her 'friends', err... allies.
Inventory: N/A

Lv: 5
Abilities:

Polymorph - Duskwing turns a nearby enemy into a harmless critter for a few seconds, making them take 25% amplified damage and being unable to move or take actions while transformed.

Phase Shift - Duskwing teleports to an ally within 5km, healing them for 35% of their hp. This has a hefty cooldown, but is reduced by any enemy attacked by Duskwing.

Fire Breath - Duskwing can breath draconic fire, dealing fire damage to even fire resistant or immune enemies although to a lesser extent. Can be done while running with no reduction in movement. This fire breath can be tuned to be harmless to activate devices if necessary, and will also cleanse specific curses such as petrification and time shenanigans.

Skills:

Healing Wind - Duskwing emanates a healing wind around herself every few seconds that soothes and heals the wounds of those around her. Duskwing can also concentrate to pulse a potent healing wind that will heal for more and cleanse light CC effects on a long cooldown.

Hover - Duskwing is immune to any shockwave or attacks that move along the ground.

Weaknesses:

Manic - While not as bad as her mother, Duskwing has episodes of manic laughter and is unnerving to be around.

Limited Flight - Without aid, Duskwing can only really hover off the ground.

Self illuminate - Duskwing, contrary to her name, is quite bright and can be clearly seen in the dark. This is especially true for her eyes and butterfly wings. She can't turn this off.

Lost Numbers pitch: Quartermaster [+]

Name: Sagi
Origin: Tear (Recettear) + Oboro (Monster Hunter)
Appearance: A woman with a short, slight build, standing only an inch or two above five feet tall. She has long, silky silver hair which she keeps partially tied in a bun at the back of her head while the rest flows down to her shoulders. Her bangs are slightly longer, framing her smooth face. Her large hooded eyes are also silver though slightly darker in color. Her skin is pale beige, and despite her mostly human looking appearance there isn't a drop of human blood in her heritage. She has a few traits that set her apart, most notably her wings. Always floating behind her are a pair of transparent green wings, which glow slightly. They appear flat with little details besides their vaguely wing-like shape, and at only about half the size of Sagi's body one might assume that they are just for show. She also has pointed ears which jut away from her head and four fingers on each hand, tipped by nails painted purple. Her usual outfit consists of: a slightly flared gray skirt that goes down to her knees with a matching double breasted blazer, dark tights and loafers, a purple cravat that matches the ribbon used to tie her hair bun, a pair of gold rectangle earrings and a red braided rope she uses as a bracelet.

Personality: Sagi's parents were calm people, and her personality developed much the same way. She is straight forward and prefers to gather as much information as possible rather than pass snap judgements. She is friendly with most everyone, maybe even a little too friendly as she treats nearly everyone she meets as though they were a younger sibling, sort of looking down on them without meaning to. She generally keeps her negative feelings to herself, but if they show themselves it is through passive aggression or cold, quiet anger.

Sagi generally gets along with people, but she is also strict in her duties and won't compromise for even her friends. Even her younger half-sister doesn't get special treatment despite how much Sagi cares for her. Sagi is not easily swayed by appeals to emotion, though she enjoys people trying. Finally, Sagi's sense of humor can be rather dark.

In the Now: For the first years of her life Sagi grew up well-adjusted in the World of Light's Forbidden Kingdom. She lived on the second floor of the family's small shop with her parents, learning their trade in between schooling and playing with other local kids. Her father had been a traveling merchant, and her mother the supply middleman he frequently met with. Their romance was a simple, gradual thing, which eventually resulted in settling down and raising their daughter.

When her parents' time limit was up, Sagi was left alone with her parent's shop. She hadn't been surprised by it. She'd seen other people, neighbors and friends, dissolve into ash before. No one ever mentioned or commented on the spontaneous combustion, so Sagi didn't either - until now. Her parents had always told her that those of their race would live long lives, and yet they were gone before her tenth birthday. Why them? Why now? And would it happen to her, too?

Grief had kept Sagi in her family home, and there she remained twenty... thirty... forty years later. She still ran the shop, standing fast at the same location, and thus she noticed something: the ashing always happened. The longest she'd ever seen someone last was a single decade. In the name of getting answers about why it seemed she, alone, was unaffected, she used her ever changing mercantile contacts to retrieve information about it. That was how she eventually learned the "Lost Numbers," connecting with other people like herself that did not turn to dust.

Sagi did not immediately join the group. She had coped with the knowledge well enough and preferred to keep to her simple life, content with just learning the truth. Some years later there was an event that finally pushed her to join the Lost Numbers... and it started with meeting her father again. The last time she'd seen him was as a little girl, and now she looked as old as he did, if not older, since he appeared exactly the same. Though she knew he wouldn't have recognized her even if she hadn't aged. In befriending her father she learned that he had returned to being (or rather, he still was) a traveling merchant and that she had a half-sister out there. Under the guise of a business deal she ended up traveling across the area back to his semi-permanent residence with him to meet her.

What she didn't know was that the time she'd spent audaciously looking into the true nature of the world's inhabitants was about to catch up with her. After arriving at her father's home, her family was attacked with the intent to wipe out the two sisters. With just two civilian targets, whatever Consul ordered the hit did not deign to attend to it themselves. Sagi took her sister, Haruka, and ran while their father and Haruka's mother protected them. They fled until Sagi got into contact with the Lost Numbers again, joining their ranks for her little sister's safety.

Since then, Sagi has done her best to help the cause in her own way. She has served as the quartermaster on the Avenger since the vessel was obtained, which she does gladly.

Job: Stewardess
Specialty: Inventory management and item procurement.
Inventory: Melding Pot, and almost never without a clipboard in hand.

Lv: 5
Abilities:

• Wyverian Melding - An ability passed down through her father's culture, now practiced by Sagi. Although the actual way it works is supposedly secret, melding is basically an advanced form of recycling. By combining different items, Sagi can make entirely new ones. This is normally done with scraps and unwanted things combined to make randomized talismans that grant various boons. It takes quite a lot of items to meld even one talisman, but the more valuable the pieces used to meld, the less of them are needed.

Skills:

• Fairy Flight - Despite appearing to be a spell or magic construct, Sagi's wings are a part of her anatomy. They allow her limited flight, more akin to floating. It helps a lot with checking inventory stacked up high at least.
• Tear's Teachings - Her mother's fairy race is one that is innately talented at administration and management. Combined with Tear's astute attention while growing up, it Sagi made very talented with logistics. She runs a tight ship.
• Longevity - Due to her Wyverian blood, so long as she isn't killed Sagi will be able to live for hundreds of years. She is already older than she looks, having crossed the half-century threshold a while ago.
• Appraisal - Spending a large portion of her life sourcing, buying, and selling items has made Sagi an adept appraiser. Though she cannot intuit the uses of objects she's completely unfamiliar with, she has a lot of experience to draw from and can assess an item's usefulness (and thus monetary value) with a high degree of accuracy. Of course, she does have a Skewed Point of View which sometimes interferes.

Weaknesses:

• Dainty - Her body is physically slight and she isn't very strong, which puts her at a disadvantage against large or powerful creatures. She also has to enlist help moving heavy inventory around.
• Civilian - On top of her small fream, Sagi is not a fighter in general. She's taken a few self defense classes while living in the Forbidden Kingdom, but she is far from combat fit.
• Skewed Point of View - Being a blend of long lived races, yet also being 'mortal' in the World of Light, has had an effect on Sagi's psyche. She tends to be sort of cavalier about the passage of time, some times doing everything in a rush and some times acting like her charges have all the time in the world. She also falls into the trap of appraising and item's usefulness in relation to her experience, so an especially niche item she may evaluate as being useless even if it's a legendary object of some renown.
