[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Chiba Chinatsu
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Of course you are." Chinatsu is short, at slightly under five feet in height.
• Personality: Chinatsu is a serious-seeming girl who is also rather down to earth and practical. However, in spite of this attitude, she also has quite an aggressive temper and a deeply sarcastic side she is liable to unleash rather freely. However, Chinatsu is also very focused on her goals, and frequently channels her temper into combat. At the same time, when she becomes angry enough she may begin to misjudge what she is doing and make mistakes. Regardless, she is a rather snarky girl even when not in a bad mood, deadpan sarcasm or biting insults being her preferred way to display mild irritation. Chinatsu dislikes stupidity, and she will loudly voice her discontent with anyone behaving stupid. Chinatsu is confident in her abilities as a fighter, but lacks self-confidence in a number of other areas, such as her lack of physical maturity, or her height. She is also very easy to make flustered or embarrassed, in spite of her serious and confident behavior. At the moment, her aggression is largely directed towards ascending the ranks and taking on the Student Council President herself.
• Backstory: Chinatsu is hardly very forthcoming about her history, but it seems she was raised by a relatively average family until her father died in a sudden accident. It wasn't long after that her mother, too, fell ill and died. Without parents, raised by a family friend, Chinatsu ended up focusing on the use of AE Devices, particularly Ryu, the sword owned by her family. This singlemindedness lead to her being referred to as the Bloody Assassin during Junior High. After spending only a short time at a different High School, she suddenly left and transferred to Shiroyama. On her first day, she declared her intent to defeat the Unbreakable Student Council president, something no student has ever achieved. Her fellow students thought this was ridiculous, as she was a Rank 0 regardless of her reputation in the past. Shiroyama's standards are quite high, after all. After being harassed by a Rank 10 student during lunch, Chinatsu defeated him almost effortlessly, sending her immediately up to Rank 5.
• Inherent Engine Skill: Flash Step - Chinatsu can perform what is seemingly teleportation, but is in fact a sudden acceleration to ridiculous speed, for a split second. This causes her to seemingly disappear and reappear to avoid attacks or suddenly close a small gap between herself and a target.
• Active Engine Device: Ryu - A glowing, red, straight-bladed katana referred to as "Ryu" by Chinatsu, this AE Device crackles with red energy when unsheathed. Naturally, it is capable of a basic, straightforward function. That is, cutting things. It's rather effective at doing so, slicing through mundane materials easily. It is normally carried sheathed on Chinatsu's lower back. It has a few different functions.
  • Shoheki Taberu: An attack designed to destroy mana core-based defenses, Shield Eater surrounds Ryu with energy and forces itself into the outer layer of shielding. Then, it releases this energy, in a move designed to dissolve the barrier from the inside out be directing its own energy through the barrier's structure. However, Shield Eater has no use against physical barriers, or any IE skill that directly hardens the body. In addition, the attack must hit point first.
  • Fukusū no hōkō Jikkō Kōgeki: An attack that causes Ryu's blade to alter its course in an impossible way, striking at two different angles on a single target simultaneously. This ability is not impossible to block, but it does certainly offer a difficult attack for an opponent to deal with.
  • Ansatsu Mode: A "kill or be killed" last ditch effort attack, Ansatsu Mode transforms Ryu into a large, even sharper form, the blade splitting and producing red energy to length and enhance its cutting capabilities. This form begins to draw off of Chinatsu's vitality, quickly draining her of all her remaining ability remain on her feet, but is incredibly dangerous to her opponent and very capable of winning a battle in a single blow, if she can land it before collapsing.
• Skills: Chinatsu is an awful, awful cook, to the point of her cooking being considered an "alternate weapon". Aside from that, she is extremely fast and light on her feet, a capable and speedy girl who can even briefly run along walls.
• Rank: 5th
• Club: Chinatsu has no allegiance to any clubs for now.

[Rin]

• Name: Suzume "Suzie" Tsukasa
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Like, you'll totally never be this popular, girlfriend~" Due to being half-American, Suzie is somewhat tall for a Japanese girl and stands at about 5'6". She's also a natural blonde.
• Personality: On first impression, Suzie comes off as little more than the stereotypical gal; an airheaded, materialistic bimbo who only cares about being fashionable, having all the latest toys and flirting with anything that moves. She knows she's considered one of the most popular and desirable girls in school, and is more than willing to flaunt this status to get what she wants. Which... Brings us to a certain very important point: she is nowhere near as dumb and airheaded as she initially comes off as. Shrewd, conniving and devious, she uses a combination of her natural charisma, her good looks and her daddy's money to ensure her place at the top of the school's social ladder, and is not above using her connections and the information they provide to blackmail potential rivals into standing down. She worked hard to become the most popular gal in Shiroyama High and will not only refuse to give up this position but she'll use every dirty trick at her disposal to ensure things stay the way they are.
• Backstory: When you think of the elite of Shiroyama High, you immediately think of the student council president. Soon afterwards, however, your thoughts turn to one Suzume "Suzie" Tsukasa, a girl perfectly willing to flaunt her status as The Most Popular Girl in School. Born to a rich Japanese businessman and an American supermodel, Suzie has always been blessed with affluence and beauty, two things she has maliciously abused to crawl her way up to the top of the social ladder. Whilst most of the school sees her as some sort of idol, wishing they could be like her or even with her, only those who are truly close to her know that deep down she refuses to share the limelight with anyone and will use everything in her power to crush anyone who seems like they might threaten her position. She's been able to make her way to the student council, and whilst she works alongside the president and tries to act like her friend, well... There's only room at the top for one.
• Inherent Engine Skill: Absolute Territory Field - A defensive ability Suzie uses to protect herself whilst her summons fight for her. By using it, she calls up a 6x3' glowing red rectangle that withstands any three attacks aimed at it before crumbling into nothing. Suzie can call up a maximum of three of these fields at a time, and usually just uses them to hide behind whilst she lets her summons take care of her opponents for her.
• Active Engine Device: The mystical smartphone app iDolon! Using this wondrous app, Suzie is able to call cutesy critters to do her bidding! The most basic summons are the three that come free with the app, although since it's a freemium app if Suzie is really pushed into a corner she could potentially purchase some premium summons... As it stands now, though, the three summons (all of which stand at about three feet in height) are as follows:
  
  • Kumachi: Taking the form of plush teddy bear that glows blue, Kumachi is the "Power" summon; his physical prowess is the greatest of the three, but he sacrifices speed as a tradeoff.
  • Usako: A glowing pink bunny plush, Usako is the "Speed" summon; naturally, she moves the fastest and can jump the highest, although her strength and durability are somewhat lacking.
  • Inarin: A plush fennec fox that glows neon red, Inarin is the "Magic" summon; whilst her strength, speed and durability aren't very good, she can toss magical fireballs, and the flapping of her overly large ears allows her to fly.
• Skills: Daddy's money ensures that if it has a price, Suzie can probably obtain it if she so desires. But her real power is her connections; due to being at the center of the social web of Shiroyama High, very little happens in the school without her quickly knowing of it. Her ability to quickly obtain news, information, gossip and rumours are the main reason Atsuko puts up with her. Due to being half-American, she's perfectly fluent in English.
• Rank: 49
• Club: Suzie is the president of the Fashion Club; it's possible that the high status it has achieved due to her is the reason why all the students of Shiroyama High wear personalized, custom uniforms.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Delinquency Within

• Name: Yamamoto Chie
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: The face of delinquency. Fear all 5'2" of her terrifying stature.
• Personality: Surprisingly quirky, as it turns out. Chie's appearance would bring to mind a kind, cheerful girl that offers nothing but support and warmth... and to an extent, that's true. Outside of school, that is the very being you would come across: A warm, supporting, almost motherly figure that is never without a smile or good word to say, even about complete strangers.
  
  She just also happens to have strange beliefs about school life. The most relevant opinion being “every school needs a formidable trouble-maker, right?” and... well, she ended up becoming a delinquent. So she plays the part to the best of her ability: Skipping classes, intimidating students, bossing fellow delinquents around... she can be surprisingly effective in her role, but sometimes her motherly traits shine through, protecting her fellow delinquents as if they were her real siblings. She even sometimes gives teachers advance warning of her truancy. How nice.
  
  She can also be a tad ditzy sometimes, seemingly missing obvious sarcasm or noting a highly mundane detail in a very unusual situation. She may also come across as highly unaware of potential an opponent may face... but what if that's all an act to seem more harmless than she really is?
  
  ...That's a serious question, it's really hard to tell with Chie!
• Backstory: There isn't much to note of Chie before entering Shiroyama. She had been a well-behaved student that achieved fairly good grades throughout her school years. However, Chie had an odd idea about her high school: It didn't represent the delinquents very well, did it? A disorganised bunch of grumpy kids, lead by a weakling? How were they supposed to present any sort of interesting obstacle to the Student Council?
  
  In a bold move shocking just about everyone that knew her, Chie offered her criticisms to the former 'toughest delinquent on campus', was challenged to a fight, and effortlessly thrashed him. This lead to her being crowned the new leader of the deliqnuents, and to Chie adopting this role with the goal of making delinquents a powerful force to be reckoned with, and even managed to structure the unruly group as a club to better take advantage of the school's point system.
• Inherent Engine Skill: War God's Strength - A misleadingly-titled skill that seems to grant Chie unparalleled physical strength to rival the very gods themselves! ...In actuality, it merely allows her to wield her AED as if it were weightless.
• Active Engine Device: War God's Axe - A rather massive weapon that stands just over six-feet tall, this unwieldly monstrosity can be attributed to much of Chie's reputation. In her hands, it has superior reach, power and coolness points. The one solace opponents can take is that it doesn't really do anything beyond being massive. And painful.
• Skills: Chie is fairly skilled at many domestic tasks; cooking, cleaning and babysitting youngsters being her most notable skills.
• Rank: 37th
• Club: Shiroyama's Decadent Failures and Disruptive Elements Club: The head of this particular club, formed mainly to take advantage of club benefits. Activities include, but are not limited to: developing 'tough guy' talk, developing lunch-money-shakedown techniques, how to modify one's school uniform into something badass, and theatrics.

[GingerBoi123]

The Lightning Fists

Name: Daisuke Ishikawa
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: "Fight? Like, right now?"- Daisuke stands at 5'7", and is quite fit and tough, although his clothing and demeanour makes him look a little wimpy.
Personality: Daisuke is studious and hard working, and also kind of socially awkward. He's not one to start a conversation and picks up those little social signs everyone seems to understand much, much later. The boy is very friendly and very loyal to those he likes, but tends to keep to himself so he doesn't have many friends. He much prefers reading a book or training with his Inazuma Gloves alone rather than other social activities. However, anytime he gets to learn or watch about other Active Engine Devices, he is enthralled and always 'nerds' out, swooning at the weapons the students carry
Backstory: Daisuke was a very average student, and his parents lived normal lives as well. Everything was just... plain, boring normal, and Daisuke didn't particularly mind it much. He wasn't outstanding, and achieved just above average grades. However, the two things his parents could never pull him away from was Active Engine Devices and boxing. AED's, IES's and Mana-Core technology fascinated him in every way, and boxing was his favourite sport and combat style. It seemed so honourable and skilful. When he was finally able to, he applied to Shiroyama as soon as possible and was thankfully accepted.

Daisuke wasn't very prepared for much of the fighting. He is quite skilled but didn't expect the focus to be combat. He was expecting more into looking at Devices. However, the surprise spurs him on to train and get better. On his first day, Daisuke went wide eyed at all of the different weapons the students carried. All different, unique and cool in their own way. Daisuke knew then what he wanted to do with his life. Travel the world, cataloguing all the Active Engine Devices he could find. The first entry into his 'catalogue' notebook- His very own Inazuma Gloves.
Inherent Engine Skill: Daisuke's special skill is that he can create "hologram" punches to try and fool his opponents. These fake-outs can become pretty obvious if used too much, and does require a little time to recharge. The punches will do no damage even if it hits. Daisuke uses it to force a dodge, and follow up with the other fist.
Active Engine Device: Inazuma Gloves- Two gloves that crackle with blue energy when activated. They're made out of a strong alloy so they can deflect some attacks. As well as getting extra oomph in his punches from the electricity, Daisuke also uses a couple lightning based attacks. His Taser Punch can disperse the electricity, giving a controlled shock to stun an opponent. He can also send out a short but wide electric wave, putting his hand to the ground to deliver the attack across the floor, but this is his only ranged attack.
Skills: Daisuke is a good listener and a fast writer. He also possesses a really good memory, and uses it to sketch out devices he's researched in the day.
Rank: 7
Club: Daisuke isn't in any club right now.

[Ryougu]

Yukazu Megumi, Ladylike Magician

Name: Yukazu Megumi (Given name: Megumi)
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Personality:
At first glance, Megumi would seem like a nice, well-mannered girl. Upon closer inspection, she'll turn out to be an ill-mannered street-thug with a love for magic tricks and a violence-fetish. She tends to pose herself as a helpless girl and manipulate other into doing her bidding. When she gets tired of someone, she'll usually single them out and then reveal her cruel ways. While this has proven to be effective, she is very willing to turn to violence in the cases it doesn't.

Backstory:
Raised in a strict household, Megumi grew up to be very polite and well-mannered...Until she made some thug friends in her early-teens. During her time with them she quickly developed a cold and sarcastic alter-ego. This alter-ego quickly became more than that, as she realized she felt more comfortable like that. After this realization, she stopped referring to it as an alter-ego, and instead dubbed her former self that. (Which she still maintains at home and when meeting new people)

As the time came to choose a high school, both Megumi and her parents had already decided what school she'd go to. While her parents decided to send her to a private school, Megumi had set her sights on Shiroyama High School. Megumi, not feeling like debating the matter with er parents, solved the problem in her own way. Applying her elaborate trickery, she got her parents to sign the papers and get her way. So while they think she's studying at a private school, she's actually enrolled in Shiroyama High School. To solve the issue of hiding bruises and scars from her parents, she lives at the dorms.

Inherent Engine Skill: Wind Walker
Megumi can walk inexistent staircases, but not only downstairs, she can also walk upstairs! Able to levitate, Megumi can move freely in the air, just as simple as if she were on the ground.

Active Engine Device: The Mask of the Phantom of the Opera
The mask effectively has three modes. Megumi can switch between these modes at will, but she can only use the Escapist mode when she's in dire-straits.
Modes:

• Off - While the mask is off, it serves as nothing more than a fancy mask. Great for a ball.
• On - While the mask is on, it turns Megumi invisible, as well as what she wears and carries, while she's carrying it.
• Escapist - While the mask is in escapist mode, Megumi can phase through inorganic matter at will.

Skills:
Living the life of a rich girl, while also enjoying the thug life, Megumi has excellent handwriting and is a capable fighter. As most of the fights she got in were streetfights, however, Megumi is a diamond in the rough. She also enjoys magic tricks, and has been practising from a young age. By now she has mastered all sleight-of-hand magic tricks, and she's currently trying to master escape tricks.

Tsukada Ren

Name: Tsukada Ren
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Personality: Ren is quite and soft spoken, not exactly the kind of person that one would expect to see fighting for prestige and fame. And this is true. Even in the middle of combat Ren is a passive and reactionary person, dealing out whatever action is required only when it is necessary to do so.
Backstory: Entering high school did little to change Rens approach on life. He went to class, did his schoolwork and practiced photography. Even now Ren has never been one to challenge another student but has instead found all of their successes from being challenged by other students, starting with a upperclassman that had mistaken him for a girl and tried (and failed) to save face.
Inherent Engine Skill: Skate - Modifies the friction of a surface, the user must be in contact with it or have line of sight.
Active Engine Device: Force Bow - A powerful but nonlethal weapon. It can unleash one of two attacks with varying degrees of effect. The weapon itself has no physical form aside from a bracelet and materializes as lines of light once drawn back.

• Point Strike - Unleashes it's power against a target in a single direction. Like being hit by a punch with the energy of a truck.
• Radial Blast - An explosion of force that pushes outwards in all directions.

Skills: Photography and video editing.

[MonkeyBusiness]

Shin Kawaguchi

Name: Shin Kawaguchi
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Shin stands at five foot eight.
Personality: Shin Kawaguchi is a relaxed person who is just fine enjoying life. He is an openly friendly person who enjoys meeting new people and sharing his love of music. Despite the fighting structure built into the school, he does not enjoy fighting others but sees it as a necessary thing to do for his club and enjoying some basic luxury during his school life. Even with his easy going style Shin can take stuff seriously depending on how it can effect him.
Backstory: Shin Kawaguchi came from an average family who are all basic musicians in their own right. He entered Shiroyama during the old combat system before the Student president took over and refers to them now as the good old days. He joined the music club shortly after his arrival at the school and took over as president of the club during his second year when his upperclassmen graduated from the school. After he attained the role of president of the club, people continued challenging him thinking they could try and take the club room under the new student council system. Shin has now gained a reputation as the defender of the music club and has even defeated lower ranked clubs by himself if required.
Inherent Engine Skill: All Seeing Eye- Shin has an ability to use sound waves as a form of radar to detect objects in a three hundred and sixty degree direction. He has an issue focusing on the power when there is to much information to take in, causing him a painful headache.
Active Engine Device: Sword of Sound- When hit the sword reverberates and alters the sound waves in the area to the users needs. He can create concussive blasts of air pressure with a swing of the sword and can even create a limited defensive barrier to deflect attacks. The sound that the sword gives off can also cause headaches to those that hear the sound as a mild droning noise. This noise is uncontrollable and can even effect the user of the weapon.
Skills: Shin is skilled with playing guitar and piano.
Rank: 36th
Club: Shin is president of the music club for people display talent in playing instruments and show an appreciation for music.

[CondorTalon]

Yokoi Kaito

Name: Yokoi Kaito
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: "I'm not stopping 'til I reach the top... No hard feelings?"
Personality: Kaito is friendly and sociable. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it, Kaito can be counted on to be there for his friends. He places a lot of trust on people he considers his friends. On the other hand, if someone tricks or deceives him and he finds out... well, you'll have a very angry guy to deal with. For some reason, Kaito is really into all the fighting that happens at the school; he's not afraid to let everyone know about his plan to reach the elusive rank 50, but he has never and will never disclose his reason for it.
Backstory: There isn't much to write about Kaito's life before Shiroyama. He was born to normal parents and succeeded by two average younger sisters. He went to a normal school, had normal friends, and although he had an AED of his own, it never really came out, being left at home for most of the time he had them. That changed when Kaito entered Shiroyama. When he realized how much fighting was going to happen, and how important fighting was to his school life, he was ecstatic. After all, the truth was that Kaito had always wanted to fight. Now that he had a place to do it... a place that actually encouraged it... Kaito's life has never been better.
Inherent Engine Skill: Fuyukaze - Kaito can make a cold wind blow all around him; the radius increases and the temperature decreases the more he focusses on this wind, but doing it too much or for too long tires him out.
Active Engine Device: Fubuki & Kouhyou - A pair of tantou that are cold to the touch. The same wind that Kaito can summon can be whipped around these blades; because of their much smaller surface area the winds around the blades can be much stronger and much colder without tiring Kaito out. Prolonged contact with the blades can also start to freeze whatever it is that is contacting them.
Skills: Kaito has good hand-eye coordination from a near-lifetime of playing video games. He also has great stamina from lots of intense DDR sessions.
Rank: 12
Club: Gaming Club

Uesugi Fumie

Name: Uesugi Fumie
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Aaaand that's going on the front cover of this week's paper! Thanks for your patronage~"
Personality: Fumie believes that information is the key to winning in life. Therefore, she'll use any means necessary to get information. This can be as innocent as asking people questions to more underhanded things like spying on people. She is, on the surface, jovial, but while it's not strictly an act, she knows that being friendly can be beneficial in building connections. If she senses that someone puts her mission in jeopardy, she'll do anything not to fail, including throwing other people under the bus. In contrast, Fumie herself is very secretive about her agenda. She gets into a lot of fights... after all, what better way to learn someone's fighting style than to go up against it?
Backstory: If her older brother had known that it wasn't going to be a fair fight, and that his opponent had lackeys waiting to jump him, he wouldn't be in the hospital in a coma right now. That's what ten year-old Fumie thought when a duel went down that did exactly that. Fumie's family wasn't situated in the best of neighborhoods, sure, but her brother had suspected nothing. Now, Fumie goes through life gathering as much information as she can. It's become her mission in life. After all, she can't turn back time and undo what happened to her brother, but she could prevent anyone else (namely herself) from falling for the same trap. Or any other trap, for that matter.
Inherent Engine Skill: Null Attention - Fumie can decrease her conspicuousness, allowing her slip by people and stand around where others won't notice her. This is not the same as invisibility; people will still be able to see her, but will not notice her, or write her off as being insignificant. Although it's possible for others to see through this effect, it takes focus, and anything that breaks said focus can cause them to becomes susceptible to the effect again. This effect does not work through indirect observation (mirrors, security cameras) and cannot foil other systems such as motion tracking or heat seeking.
Active Engine Device: Prism Spear - An ornate spear with a head that contains mirrors within a hollow cavity. By manipulating these mirrors, the spear can amplify light and send blinding light into the eyes of the enemy... or just lasers. The spear itself actually functions as a spear, too, so it can be used for thrusting and stabbing.
Skills: Fumie is a skilled photographer. She is also good at sneaking around and has connections with many students.

[AtomicNut]

Ryuji

• Name:Isobe Ryuji
• Age:17
• Gender: Male
• Appearance:He's a tall beefy dummy.
• Personality: Ryuji is one of the gentlest people of the school. He's dedicate, straightforward, honest and well meaning. He is also stubborn as a mule and a staunch pacifist, which does clash directly with the School's aim. Truthfully, he dislikes the school, but keeps from disclosing the reason why is he even here. However, there are still ways to set him off. He abhors violence as a tool to oppress the weak, and he frowns upon bullies. He also dislikes people who think violence is fun. He prefers talking people down, but when left without options, Ryuji's fighting ethic is implacable and vicious, aiming to disable opponents as quickly as possible.
• Backstory: Isobe was born in a rather poor and somewhat dysfunctional family. Money didn't flow much into the household and his mother and father were alternating yelling with making amends to eachother. Still, he was happy of his small but humble dwelling, and he even had friends to play with. The most notable was the girl next door. Both of them had several adventures through the neighbourhood together, and in all, they spent being kids in those summer days. Yet one day, Isobe had to depart. His parents apparently had lost the house and were evicted, and thus they had to move and start anew. Ryuji's mood darkened, and he started picking up fights constantly to quell his anger. It got so bad, that his face eventually became marred with a knife scar when he picked on the wrong crowd. However, when things were at his darkest, Ryuji found a helping hand in the figure of his would be Sensei, his own grandfather, who had been a martial artist all his life and taught Ryuji how to endure and stay away from violence. Ryuji found he had a knack for martials as well, and he trained vigorously. He even run errands to earn money to travel to Tibet in order to practice with the monks there. One day, a letter penned by his childhood friend arrived at his new home. Ryuji visiblely wept, and reading the letter, he found out she was in trouble and nobody else would answer, so she tried asking Ryuji. He thus set forth to the last known place where she was, Shiroyama High School.
  
  It didn't turn out as expected. Apparently, while his friend desired his help,she had actually warped the reality of the situation and she wanted some extra muscle. Ryuji was disgusted at this, but he decided to stick in the High School for a while. Perhaps these people would see sense in their violent folly one day.
• Inherent Engine Skill: Ki Control. Years of martial arts disciplined have honed Ryuji's body (and Mana core) to the point of being able to do supernatural feats. His body's resilience is the stuff of legends, as well as he may as be well called supernatural when performing physical feats. He is so adept at this, he can expel the Ki (mana) in the form of blasts through his hands when performing certain fighting techniques. He can even force his body and mana core to go into overdrive, but this comes with the inherent self-inflicted damage this implies. (He likes to call this technique Asura mode. He's still a bit of a dork).
• Active Engine Device: Beads of Soothing- These wondrous beads, given to him by Tibetan Monks, are useless in battle most of the time, but their power should not be scoffed at. By concentrating and praying with these devices, one may shield allies from harm,
  purify areas or people from negative effects, and if taken to the extreme, heal grievous wounds and mystically repair buildings or devices. Worth noting that these require the user to be still and concentrated, and thus open to attacks.
• Skills:Ryuji's concentration is hard to shake. He is also a martial artist of great skill, like the ones of tales. Ryuji excels in repetitive tasks, and couple with his strong and fit body, he is pretty good at manual work and errands. He also knows how to do minor sewing and cooking, and stand on his own. Given his martial background and size, he can give heavenly massages or even set bones. On the other side, years of conditioning have stripped him of the ability to dance, and he's tonedeaf. He also lacks some people's skills.
• Rank:0
• Club: No one, unless there's a pacifist club or something.

Mika

• Name: Kawaguchi Mika.
• Age:16
• Gender:Female.
• Appearance:The right half of the picture.She also likes to be on top. Her actual height is 4'8''.
• Personality: Mika is at first glance a shy, unassuming and fragile bookworm mouse who has a natural air of grace and fragility around her. She is usually bashful and prefers to keep a distance. However, deep down she is fairly determined, bitter and cold. She also has a pretty strong libido, and likes to predate on both boys and girls. Mika holds a grudge at people who belittle her because of her somewhat homely looks or apparent lack of physical strength, and she would enjoy proving all those who think that martial strength is all that matters that they're wrong. Mika also has none of the fears a lot of people have towards bugs and spiders. She would also want to have babies with Ryuji
• Backstory: Mika was born in a rather humble militaristic household. Her father lamented that instead of a healthy young boy rascal with spunk to share war stories, he got a fragile flower of a daughter with a weak constitution and that had to be take to the hospital frequently. He vented his frustration on his daughter and household, appearing as an overbearing controlling father who dictated what and when Mika did in her everyday life. The young girl only found solace in two things. An adventuring kid next door, called Ryuji, full of vitality which was always eager to play with her, and even give her piggy rides when she collapsed; and books. Books were one of her best refuges to her life. But of course, her father had other ideas. He wrongfully thought that that many reading was weakening his daughter even further and routinely sabotaged her attempts. With Isobe gone, and her own mother a subsirvient shell, Mika soon fell into despair, and began to turn into someone cynical. She begun to despise the world, all while keeping a masquerade of goodie two shoes girl. When the battle school programme was suggested at her household, Mika just accepted because she wanted to prove her father wrong. She despite being weak, would trumph what he considered strength with her own bookish smarts.
  
  It wasn't as initially planned, though. The challenge bar was high, so Mika eventually relented to asking help from her best friend. She tried her best to honey the situation, but in the meantime Ryuji had become a goody two shoes and rejected her offer. Now she is likely to try a different approach...
• Inherent Engine Skill: None! Although given the nature of her Device, most people think she has a field of mana draining around her.
• Active Engine Device: Arachne - Arachne is just a bunch of metal strings. However, they're highly mana-conductive, very thin, and deceptively strong and resistant. If these strings wrap around a person or AED, they will interfere and cancel any mana based skill or operation, so long as said person remainds "grounded" by the strings (Ie, with a couple of coils wrapped around it). Mika can also use the strings in multiple ways, as improvised traps, to swing midair, as a makeshift whip, and to dispell mana-based projectiles. She can even use them as a spider would use a web to listen to her surroundings.
• Skills: Mika is an intellectual sort of person. Academic subjects are easy deal for her, and she's always craving more knowledge and gather information. She's good at sciences, including math. Mika is also highly skilled in analyzing situations and finding the best course of action, as well as being fluent in English. As a side effect of her weapon use, she's an amazingly skilled puppeteer and nimble but otherwise pretty weak physically with one of the worst staminas of the entire school due to her heart condition.

[Raineh Daze]

• Name: Himawari "Lily" Yuri
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:Even a slacker shouldn't leave some things to the last minute. Much to her ongoing frustration, that appearance is all-natural. Not only is it pretty distinctive, she's a shoo-in for "tallest girl in school" due to her ancestry.
• Personality: When she was younger, Yuri put a lot of effort into doing as well as possible--if you were going to stick out anyway, you might as well try and stand out for good reasons, right? By highschool, her desire to try and avoid attention at all had overcome any desire to do well, plus avoiding the stress. Nowadays, she's a dedicated slacker whose desires are to do just well enough that she isn't in trouble for failing, to be harmless enough that any fights are quick and relatively painless, and to avoid anyone important wherever possible.
  She's not so much of a slacker that she won't work if actually getting something done is the path of least resistance--but from the way she tends to snipe about it or point out the stupidity in what she's doing or someone else is doing, you wouldn't begin to guess.
• Backstory: Oddly enough, though Yuri's parents were both born in Japan, none of her grandparents were--all four of them were from the US. Yet despite the shared family background, those grandparents' mutual xenophilia and her own parents' never having left the country leave her no more knowledgeable about the Western world than the average student. Instead, her interests were generally directed to the world of fashion. The result? Until she realised that standing out in a fighting school was a great way to get even trouble, her outfits tended to make her stand out even more amongst the normal school uniforms.
  It was just her luck that her natural appearance lent itself so much to the fashion that she got the Fashion Club president's attention, even while trying to dress in the most unremarkable manner achievable. She isn't sure why the girl wanted her to join the club, but it didn't seem like the sort of request she could get away with refusing. At least it's a club that she would have been happy to join... in a more normal school environment.
• Inherent Engine Skill: Immovable Object-
  Yuri's ability is a simple one: neither she, nor anything she is directly holding, is going to be budged from its position without an incredible amount of force. For most objects, and indeed the girl herself, it would be easier to break whatever isn't moving than have to deal with overwhelming the power itself. She mostly uses it to draw fights out and give the illusion of putting up resistance, rather than seriously put herself in more risk by possibly winning.
• Active Engine Device: Gravity Shield-
  A man-sized riot shield, it certainly isn't an offensive weapon, especially with how Yuri tends to use it, but it's durable, mostly clear, and makes her an utter pain to fight. Not only does it make a very effective obstacle to actually hitting her, it makes gravity in the nearby area much stronger... which makes moving even more difficult. As Yuri likes to point out: it would be a whole lot easier to just not bother fighting in the first place, no matter the outcome.
• Skills: As expected of someone that would have considered joining the Fashion Club, Yuri does have enough knowledge and skills in the area to not embarrass herself, though her abilities in the field of creating clothing can be explained with one statement: "I once sewed my arm to my leg". It's a bit of a shame that there was no band to join, in her opinion--she's not a half bad drummer. Or artist, but joining an art club was out of the question; she'd burn the drawings before anyone else saw them.

Sotogawa Aoki

Bios:

• Name: Sotogawa Aoki
• Age: 16
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: "You should have known better than to mess with me." Aoki stands at 178 cm [5'10"]
• Personality: Though he likes to put up a tough front he is a pretty happy and calm guy if you get to know him. Sure he's sarcastic and not exactly well versed in manners but generally not bad. Despite that he does have a nasty temper and if he's set off it takes a bit to bring him back down. He likes to plan ahead for fights but can definitely think on his feet when he has to.
• Backstory: Aoki never really met his father, and for as long as he can remember his mother was working almost constantly to keep the family afloat. She never came home until late, if she even did at all and the money she was making was hardly enough to keep the family going. Since she was always out, Aoki was more or less raised by his brother, Niji. Niji was a delinquent on first impressions, the tough look and attitude that always accompanied him; the thing was he was kind-hearted and generous and a lot of other good things, but very few besides Aoki saw it. Niji walked him to school, even if it meant he himself would be late, he cooked for Aoki when mom wasn't there to do it and taught him to cook, and did everything he could.
  
  Aoki started to try and dress more like his brother and he started to get the tough attitude as well. It was because of these that one day some punk from school picked a fight with Aoki. He came out on top and from that day on he wasn't acting tough, he was it. He couldn't always rely on his brother to get him out of a jam, so he became someone who could do it himself. Often times that meant fighting, and while he didn't seek it out he didn't shy away. One day in one of his fights which was many thugs against just him, someone actually joined in on his side. That boy turned out to be one Edward, and after they won the fight the two became very close. It had been a long time since Aoki had made a friend so he was happy to have managed it. Despite the difference in attitudes, the two had very similar interests and tastes in music, movies, and just about everything. Akio did his best to help him with Japanese and to blend in to the culture.
  
  Niji saw the skill his little brother had and started saving money, working hard at both legal and illegal jobs that he never told Aoki about. He saved up all he could and eventually he had enough to send Aoki to Shiroyama to hone his skills and get a good education.
• Inherent Engine Skill: He can make visual illusions, but with no physicality to them. They can be good for a distraction though.
• Active Engine Device: He has a metal bat that possess multible abilities that are related to the sun and solar energy.
  
  • Burn: Energy manifests in a way that causes the bat to heat up, causing a small flame burst when it strikes, or can go as far as to engulf itself in flames.
  • Glare: The bat begins to illuminate and glow. This can be merely used as a light source, but if it strikes anything in this state it gives off a bright flash of light that can temporarily blind or disorient.
  • Beam: He takes a moment to focus energy into the bat and once he does he can fire off a beam of light from the end of his bat. This obviously does not travel anywhere near actual light speed.
• Skills: Enjoys drawing and is rather adept at driving, both cars and motorcycles. Is pretty good at cooking some meals since he learned from a young age. Is fairly fast on his feet, and dexterous as well as physically strong.
• Rank: 27
• Club: Has yet to join any clubs of any sort.

Ichihara Ban

Ban

• Name: Ichihara Ban
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Ban stands at a taller than average 6'2." His most noticeable features are his long strawberry red hair and stormy grey eyes. His build is tall and athletic, he maintains his fit body to keep up with the competition in Shiroyama High School. Ban's ears are pierced and he usually will wear expensive jewelry such as chains and watches.
• Personality: Ban's usually described as a cunning and ambitious asshole. Most people are offput by how rude and confident he is and surprised by his intelligence. He was raised to be a rough "I can do by myself," sort of person. His independence makes it hard for him to make friends and have real relationships, so he uses his determination as an excuse for how lonely he is. Everything he does he tries his best at, having a perfectionist heart but a cynical mind.
  
  Ban's brutally honest, which offends people with weak skin, though he believes in the mantra "if you don't like what I'm saying, then don't listen." He isn't one to pull punches, and his temper is nothing to fuck with. Stupidity irks him, mostly because he's good at gauging talent and he hates seeing people not reach their full potential. He loves competition, which is part of the reason why he started attending Shiroyama.
  
  Ban's very aggressive when it comes to competition and battles. It's the best place for him to vent his anger, and vent he does. In fact, his personality has caused him to have a reputation as the "Savage of Shiroyama." He finds the nickname redundant but he lets it continue to make people more fearful of him than necessary.
  
  It takes a lot for him to like someone, so at this point he's content with being alone. Maybe it's because he has trust issues, he's never thought too hard about it. Ban's extreme when it comes to people that he doesn't like, but he's also extreme when he actually enjoys someone's presence to the point of friendship. If you somehow gain Ban's trust and befriend him, he's fiercely loyal, though his personality doesn't soften much. He firmly believes that it isn't worth his time to change himself to please others. Ban does what he wants, and those who don't like it can insert their heads into places that don't see the Sun often.
• Backstory: Ban was born in a rough house hold. His father was always working and his kids preferred him busy instead of focusing on them. Ban was raised to be emotionless, his father saw emotion as a sign of weakness. Weakness was beaten out of Ban and his siblings, but they adapted quickly. Their mother skipped out on their Dad and her kids when Ban was 3, so he doesn't remember her well, but his older brother Benji remembers her well.
  
  Ban's competitiveness was fostered by everyone's assumption that he would amount to nothing. His father let him know how worthless he would be daily, which did wonders his self-esteem.... Because of this, Ban tried his hardest in everything he did. He was surprised to find that he was actually quite smart when he tried to be. He had a very analytical mind, skilled in picking things apart and looking at things differently. Acceling at school was the only way to get his father's attention, who would never compliment him, but he would at least acknowledge the achievements.
  
  Ban soon took the stage over his two brother and two sisters when he applied and was accepted to Shiroyama High School. He created a reputation quickly for his abnormally aggressive and rude persona, rising ranks quickly. Once he established a name for himself as the Savage of Shiroyama, he became quite content and slowed his battling down. For some reason, a few disturbing students took a keen interest in him. They tried following him around like some sort of posse, but he ended the admiration quickly when he challenged them all and beat them senseless. That was the last battle he took part in, he's kept a relatively low profile since then, though he gets quite a few fearful looks from some students, especially first years.
• Inherent Engine Skill:
  Kiai (Fired Up): Ban's IE skill increases his physical abilities are supernaturally enhanced. Traits like his strength, speed, stamina, and endurance are all boosted. Ban's IE skill also gives him a high resistance to heat. While this skill is passive and automatic, it's tied to his emotions, so the more fired up he gets, the more his abilities increase. Vice verse, the less passionate he is, the less powerful his abilities become.
• Active Engine Device:
  Jigoku No Ha: Hell Blades

  
  Abilities:
  -Sukōchi (Flare): Jigoku No Ha can internally heat up until they are white hot and can burn on contact. This makes Ban a dangerous close quarters combatant, forcing most opponents to dodge instead of block due to the intense heat.
  -Chōshinsei (Supernova): This ability allows Ban to create balls of fire from the palms of his hands that he can hurl with at opponents. He uses this when his opponent is keeping distance between them.
  -Furēmushīrudo (Flame Shield): The final ability of Ban's Hell Blades creates a shield made of solid fire that can block a few attacks before dissipating, the longer the duration of the shield, the more mana it depletes.
• Skills: Ban's good at figuring things out on his own. He has an engineer's analytical mind, and he loves to take things apart and learn how they work. Ban enjoys and excels in sports and anything that gets his adrenaline pumping.
• Rank: 37
• Club: Ban has yet to join a club, mostly because he doesn't like anyone in them.

My Hider

Ah, I hope everything is alright.

Name: Kazuya Kazama

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: As part of his punishment, he's forced to wear the Janitor's Uniform of Despair. He has white hair, extremely pale skin, and his eyes turned red due to his rage.

Personality: Kazuya is an awkward teenage boy. He phrases things poorly and often puts his foot in his mouth. Prone to bouts of sulkiness. Persistent like a cockroach, though. He wants to join the Delinquents mostly because he thinks they can help him with his vendetta against the student council. He's a bit of a neat freak, and peopel making messes in the hallways stresses him out. He likes different kinds of games, including board games, video games, and forum-based roleplaying games.

Backstory: Kazuya only really went to battle school because it was within walkin distance. So he got a crappy AED at the store, showed up, and promptly got his butt handed to him. They also took his AED away. He declared a vendetta on the student council. As punishment for being useless he was given the Bucket+Mop Assembly and forced to work as a janitor. Keeping the academy cleaned is a very time consuming task. His grades have gone down the toilet, and he hasn't played video games in months. He decided it's the student council's fault, and he's vowed to put an end to them. Ever since, it's been a cycle of him attempting some ridiculous scheme to get back at them, then suffering a humiliating defeat. He can't even fight them, so it's mostly just annoying pranks.

Inherent Engine Skill: Magnet Pull: By altering his magnetic field, Kaz can stick to objects that are made of metal or have metal in them. This includes things like the walls of most buildings, among other things. It has a range of about three inches, so it works through things like clothes and fabric. He can use this to walk up walls and hold things really tightly. It's a very firm hold. You could try to pry him off of something, but you'd probably tear him apart before you got him off of whatever he was stuck to. He can pick and choose what he sticks to. So if there are a bunch of nails nearby and he tries to climb up something he won't be impaled.

Active Engine Device: Bucket+Mop Assembly: A bucket and mop, two tools absolutely necessary to the maintenace of the school. They are given to students as punishment, replacing any AED they might have previously had. They're both extremely durable. Countless students cursed with these items have tried and failed to destroy them. They have withstood nearly every attack. If not indestructible, these tools are incredibly resilient, even by AED standards.

The bucket is yellow with wheels. It's large enough that Kazama can sit in it, although not particularly comfortably. It has a detachable strainer/mop holding apparatus. Any water put in the bucket will be treated with special cleaning solutions. This makes it very good at cleaning, and also turn a very pretty shade of orange that simply does not occur naturally. Unfortunately, it smells terrible. Like dead fish you might find near a chemical plant. Just smelling it is enough to make your eyes and nose burn. While it won't cause any lasting damage, it is extremely unpleasant to have it in your eyes, and you'll need to wash it out before you can see again. When drunk, after a delay of about five minutes it causes intense and terrifying psychedelic effects. It tastes pretty good, though. A little like pink lemonade.

The mop is probably alive, or at least acts like it. It makes these weird burbling noises. If placed on the floor, it will always stay standing, haft standing proud and forever pointed skyward. If taken away from the bucket, it will slowly drag itself across the floor like a snail, attempting to find the bucket. The mop's main perk is that it can be extended to get those hard to reach areas. You wrap your hand around it, and stroke it, and it'll get longer. If you sorta twist your hand around it, it'll get shorter. Kazuya is very good at this, so he can extend the mop at speeds high enough to punch holes in walls. Licking it is very dangerous. Just don't lick it. There's no actual limit to how long it can get, but past a certain point it just gets awkward. Also, it's self cleaning.

Skills: Due to spending a massive amount of time cleaning, he is very good at wielding a mop. He can rapidly twist it to clean up dirt, balance it on his nose, hit people with it. He's very mop-proficient. Puts the "bad" in badminton. He's good at some card game about summoning demons. Most of his classes, he's garbage at them. That said, he's actually pretty decent at math. At this point, he's had many, many, many people attempt to maim him. So he's gotten pretty agile.

The Gun Toting Troublemaker

• Name: Chen Chideta
• Age: 17
• Gender: Male
• Appearance:"You're really terrible at this fighting thing." Is about 5'1 and 117 pounds. Not super muscular, but he wears baggy clothing so it's impossible to tell.
• Personality: Chen doesn't like to talk much, but when he does he usually comes off as an asshole. That's not to say he's a bad person, he's just really rude whenever he speaks to others he doesn't respect. That being said, it's pretty hard to get his respect, the only person so he respects so far is Chie for gathering up all the misfits of the school and essentially unionizing them. He's content to play second fiddle to her for two reasons, one she's probably stronger than him, and two he just feels like it's too much work. Once he respects you he'll stay by your side through thick and thin, fighting for you and maybe even dying for you.
• Backstory:Just an everyday guy who really hates people in authority, yet really wants to be in a opposition of authority. Growing up he never had a father, only a series of stepfathers who were each drunken assholes who were not very nice. He finally got himself into this school because he heard there were dorms and violence. The two things he wanted most.
• Inherent Engine Skill: ISYW: I See Your Weakness: Chen looks at objects and people, analyzing them to see their abilities and what they're made of. Analyzing people is limited to information that is readily available to students, such as age, height and weight, and ranking.
• Active Engine Device: BAGs: Big Ass Guns: Chen owns two extremely large revolvers that can fire a variety of spells/bullets to incapacitate enemies. The bullets take the form of a small colored core which is loaded into each revolver, reloading when the core runs out of power and must recharge. These bullets include the following:
  • B2 EB: Bullet 2 Electric Boogaloo: Fires a lightning bolt that can shocks does into submission, is most effective on unarmored opponents.
  • BH: Bullet Hell Fires a bullet sized fireball that explodes on contact with a surface. Best for taking down armored targets.
  
  Weaknesses: Definitely a glass cannon, if you get a solid hit on him then he's going down pretty fast.
• Skills: Is very quiet when he wants to be, basically a ninja in his opinion. Is on the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to speed, gotta stay fast to keep his distance. Not too bad at Math either. Definitely a solid B student when he's not focusing on shooting people.
