[CHAR] Arc Riser: A Flower Blooming within Fire

[Raineh Daze]

"MC" is a go:

• Name: Yamamoto Momoko
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
• Personality: Momoko is a generally nice, quiet girl, and certainly not outgoing. She's quite self conscious about her bust and has a distinct fear of thunderstorms. On the other hand, she's a big fan of good food, rabbits, and doing the the right thing even if it's problematic.
• Abilities: Momoko possesses a truly enormous amount of Es--far more than is normal even for an Evoker, sufficient to allow drawback-free utilisation of a complete relic. However, she doesn't knowingly possess anything that could take advantage of it... or know that she has anything other than a normal level in the first place. She does, however, happen to be in possession of Ascalon--not a shard, the whole weapon.
• Skills: Momoko is a pretty average student, all things considered, but somewhat better at history and worse at English. Despite living on her own, Momoko's cooking is frankly appalling--not to the extent of burning rice, but if she wants anything to taste good (and she certainly does) it ends up being pre-packaged. The one subject that Momoko could be considered 'good' at is PE.
• History: Ten years ago, Momoko was on a day out with her parents. Ten years ago, she saw her mother put Ascalon to use against the Inverse--and despite the number saved, lost both her parents in the carnage. Though she still owns Ascalon, Momoko has no ability to recognise it for what it is or much recollection of her mother's actions at the time.
  Since then she was raised in a fairly hands-off manner by a family friend, living essentially on her own with occasional visits in a too-big house for one schoolgirl, in a part of Aoyama unchanged in decades. Fortunately, her parents had considerable savings and some investments, so she's not too badly off for the foreseeable future.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Hayashida Naoko
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: She's quite short, as well.
• Personality: Naoko is a girl who takes her duties, regardless of what those duties are, quite seriously. That is to say she is a diligent student, who tests in the highest percentage at the local high school, and takes a great deal of pride in this fact. Indeed, it's doubtless that Naoko is both dutiful and proud of that fact. That's not to say that's all she is, however, far from it. The small girl is also quite temperamental, and somewhat bossy, prone to frequently reminding her fellow students to study. While she is prone to temperamental outbursts, at the same time it can't be said that she doesn't enjoy the popularity she has among some students. Mostly because, in spite of her attitude, she's hardly going to say no if someone volunteers to buy her a snack or something like that. That being said, she's still liable to act rather haughty around such 'fans'. She'd almost never admit it, but the ones she berates and bosses around the most are the people she cares the most about. What Naoko takes with the utmost seriousness, however, is the duties she has as a Hayashida. The Inverse are her enemy, an enemy to be eradicated as quickly as possible, as aggressively as possible. To protect the citizens of Aoyama and the world itself, she will destroy the Inverse wherever they appear.
• Abilities: Naoko is an Evoker, with a vast amount of Es that allows her to activate and wield the shard of a Relic. Her Es is in great abundance, which allows her a great deal of active time as an Evoker without concern of wearing out. Still, her Es is not endless, and it's possible for her to over-exert herself.
• Skills: Naoko is an excellent student, with a high grade in every class. She is also a member of the kendo club, and though her true swordplay is obviously not identical to her kendo it is clear that her instincts lend her well to either.
• Equipment: Naoko's shard is a fragment of the Claiomh Solais, the Sword of Light that brought down the Giants in Irish mythology. While as a fragment it does not retain the power of the complete Relic, it is a notably powerful item. When activated it takes the form of a wedge-shaped sword fitted with a boosting rocket on the base of its hilt and an extensible blade, referred to by Naoko as Solais. It is incredibly sharp and fast, easily and effortlessly cutting through the fields around the bodies of Inverse in an instant. Solais is also capable of projecting beams of light that can cut through Naoko's foes from a distance. Upon activation, the shard clads Naoko in her Relic Gear, a gleaming suit of white, blue, and gold armor over a billowing, frilled dress. Relic Gear by default is capable of protecting the Evoker from attack, and Naoko's features a booster below the bow on her back that can allow her to fly and dodge attacks more effectively.
• History: Naoko's family has passed this shard of the Claiomh Solais through generations, training their children in its use and in the destruction of Inverse. Indeed, Naoko's parents followed in these footsteps as well. However, her father suddenly died ten years ago, and her mother has become ill enough to no longer be capable of fighting. As a result, this duty has fallen upon Naoko's shoulders.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Name: Arima Rika
Age: Appears to be 17; possiby not wholly accurate
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Cheerfully sadistic and willing to antagonise for fun, Rika seems to be nothing more than a villainous monster that loves to taunt her victims - or flirt. Whichever gets the best reaction out of them. She makes no secret of her nature as an Inversed, and even plays up these aspects of herself, yet the humans she feeds from are, oddly enough, generally less than innocent.

In a strange twist, she seems to have a soft spot for kids and especially animals, often fawning over and even protecting them.

One thing that seems to irritate Rika is sympathy. Any attempts to understand her actions or potential methods tend to be met with rather chilly warnings, if you're lucky. In her own words, she is nothing more than a villain seeking ruin for all, and is not someone worth sympathising with.

Abilities: As an Inversed, Rika is able to consume Es, and also play with time in almost any way she pleases; time freeze, time alter, summoning herself from the past... just about the only thing she seems incapable of is time travel. She can even recover damage by reversing her own time. Rika is also immune to damage from mundane weaponry, thanks to her Inverse Barrier.

Skills: Rika's gotten pretty good at irritating people with a few sly remarks, and is an excellent babysitter.

Equipment: N/A
