[CHAR] The Nameless City — Invite Only!

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

• Name: Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: "All right, Pandy, let's check this place out!"
• Personality: Zeke is, for lack of a better term, eccentric. He is a person who unabashedly chews the scenery, and his grandiose mannerisms have left Pandoria working as the occasional 'straight man' to his 'funny man' routine. This is not to say that Zeke is a one-note existence who only exists for comic relief, though; he is more than enough aware to read the mood and be serious and competent when necessary. Though he often plays the fool (and revels in the act), Zeke can be surprisingly mature at times, to the point where one might wonder if his usual demeanor is just an act.
• Brief History: Born Ozychlyrus Brounev Tantal (and still technically his legal name), Zeke left (or, rather, was kicked out of) his home due to wanting to explore the world, and, alongside his Blade Pandoria, spent the next few years thereafter traveling through Alrest. An incident during his travels, however, left him mortally wounded, and it was only because of Praetor Amalthus' actions that he was able to survive the encounter.
  One thing led to another, though, and Zeke found himself clashing with Rex and his party in their search for Elysium; eventually, he, too, would join them on their journey. Not to say that he wasn't any worse for the wear for it, though, given all of the work they had to go through after scaling the World Tree in the first place.
• Universe of Origin: Xenoblade Chronicles 2
• Equipment: Other than a few miscellaneous accessories, Zeke also has Pandoria at his side. As his Blade, Pandoria also gives him access to his great sword, which he can thus summon or de-summon at will. Other than that, he also has a few other Blades that he has resonated with—most notably, Ursula, KOS-MOS, Dagas, and Praxis—which allow him to use their respective weapons as well.
• Abilities: As a Driver, Zeke is able to resonate with Core Crystals to awaken Blades, which in turn allow him to make use of their weapons. This also allows him to synchronize with his Blades in turn, throwing his weapon back to whoever is active to enable their usage of more powerful special attacks. That being said, he can only have one Blade active at any given time, and the function of each of his Blades and his ability to use Blade Arts depend on who among those is active.
• Other: A bit more meta, but while all of his stuff uses the English localization, his mannerisms will lean a bit more towards his Japanese iteration (which is mostly the same).
  Also, he has horrible luck at times.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Konpaku Youmu
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "If it's for Yuyuko-sama, I won't lose!" Youmu is pretty small, at under five feet.
• Personality: Calm, collected, serious. These are things Youmu tries to be at all times. To her credit, in a fight she is a dangerous and focused opponent, but outside of combat she is prone to being rather awkward. Her attempts to remain collected often fail, as Youmu is easily surprised and confused. She is not unintelligent, but it is simply quite easy to exasperate or perplex her. Youmu is easily frustrated by things that confuse her, and she is somewhat easy to mislead. However, she has been working on this, as to not fail Yuyuko. Youmu takes pride in her combat capabilities and her speed, as well as her katana, Roukanken and Hakuroken. In spite of her attempts to be a dutiful and serious warrior, Youmu retains a fear of ghost stories. In spite of being half ghost. And serving a ghost. However, when her opponent is not a ghost, Youmu can be a courageous fighter who refuses to give in. She also retains absolute loyalty to Saigyouji Yuyuko, even if the gluttonous ghost confuses and embarrasses her at times. Youmu is reluctant to kill other intelligent beings unless it is necessary to defend herself, Yuyuko, or others.
• Brief History: Youmu was born into the Konpaku family, half-ghosts in service of the ruler of the Netherworld, Saigyouji Yuyuko. She was trained intensely in swordplay, and in how to garden in order to cultivate the gardens around Yuyuko's home. Soon enough, Youmu became Yuyuko's servant, dedicated to her service even when she was to cause an incident that nearly(unintentionally) caused the awakening of a malevolent entity in the form of a soul-eating cherry tree. Since then, Youmu has actively assisted in the resolution of several incidents.
• Universe of Origin: Touhou
• Equipment: Youmu carries two katana, Roukanken and Hakuroken.
  
  • Roukanken: An incredibly long katana, a nodachi that measures longer than the short girl is tall. Roukanken's blade was forged by youkai, allowing it to be nearly unbreakable. This is not the most notable feature of Roukanken, however. The katana's incredibly sharp blade transcends physicality, allowing it to cut apart even existences such as formless ghosts. Rocks, trees, flesh, steel, little can stand up to the unrestrained Roukanken. However, Youmu utilizes danmaku rules to avoid killing unless her life or the lives of others are in danger. Supernatural protection, or heavily augmented technology, may also defend against Roukanken.
  • Hakurouken: A wakizashi, Hakurouken possesses no ability to kill a living thing. Indeed, it is almost entirely harmless, causing some pain and discomfort but otherwise nothing else. Its capabilities lie in another area. It can be used to parry and it can incapacitate with enough blows, but the true nature of Hakurouken is its ability to divide things such as confusion. Certainly, cutting confusion is a valuable asset to the easily-confused Youmu. However, this is merely a side effect of its intended function. Hakurouken instantly causes the state of Nirvana in spirits it strikes, causing them to vanish utterly.
• Abilities: Youmu is somewhat more durable than a regular human being, and has a somewhat more capable healing ability, but this is nothing as extreme as most youkai. As a half-ghost, a portion of her soul is embodied as a (usually)non-sentient floating phantom referred to as Myon. This can be used to observe distant areas, fire danmaku, or even temporarily become a duplicate of Youmu for double team attacks. Youmu also feels everything Myon feels, though she cannot be damaged in this way(something painful to Myon will be painful to Youmu, though). Youmu is an incredibly skilled swordswoman, capable of wielding her blades both one and two-handed. Her strength is above human level, allowing her to wield the incredibly long Roukanken one-handed. Youmu's attacking speed allows her to slash many times in an instant, to the point where it appears as a single attack. She can also move very quickly, in both air and on land, her speed making her the second fastest person in Gensokyo. This allows her to pull off her family technique, Two-Hundred Yojana in One Slash, covering an enormous amount of distance and come back in the time it takes to unsheath Roukanken and cut with it, allowing her to cut foes even quite a distance away. However, these shows of speed will eventually wear on her, so she cannot endlessly utilize her top speed. She also carries spellcards and is fully capable of flight. Her most powerful technique, both in spellcard form and as a true attack, is Reflecting Satellite Slash. This attack is simultaneously the cutting of her blade and a wave of blades reflected by the light of the moon, assaulting her opponent in a flash of light as she moves to cut through them. Even in nonlethal danmaku form it is a highly dangerous attack. However, it requires Youmu to hold still and gather power to properly perform it. In spite of all her advantages, Youmu is still partially human and can be injured as a human can, and while attacks to Myon do not cause physical harm, the pain caused by them can immobilize her.

The JK Makes her debut!

• Name: Suzuka Gozen, Tate Eboshi
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "It's gotta be JK, right!?"
• Personality:
  A predominately selfish, if simple and impulsive, but talented girl who acts like your typical high school girl. Why, you ask? For falling and love and getting a boyfriend, of course! Obviously nothing else would work! At least, this is what this fox appears to be on the surface. A simple minded, selfish high school gal.
  
  ...it's all an act, though. Originally an Oni's daughter, she possesses both a cruel disposition and such prideful and honest dedication to her duties tends to make her have a tendency to harbor negativity. But such a thing is usually well hidden underneath her usual high school girl act unless using Blessing of Wisdom, in which she becomes her usual self. Self-loathing, cruel, and serious.
• Brief History:
  A famed, peerless beauty who was celebrated as a heavenly maiden and an Oni. In reality she was a daughter of the Demon King of the Fourth heaven, sent on a mission to drive Japan into chaos, but decided she was satisfied with causing discord herself. After a few misadventures, falling in love, and exterminating demons, she was killed by the hands of her own lover. Eventually he made his way to the underworld and resurrected her, after which they lived happily.
  
  And thus, such a legend turned her into a Heroic Spirit. A being from the Throne of Heroes, summoned by a magus to fight in a Holy Grail war. She has been summoned a number of times for various Holy Grail Wars, but such adventures are nothing more than a distant memory.
• Universe of Origin: Fate Series
• Equipment: Three Katana, Shoutouren, Kenmyouren, Daitsuuren, each with their own special abilities as a Noble Phantasm.
  Shoutouren - A silver colored sword. Unlocks a noble phantasm called 'The Blessing of Wisdom'. Under its influence, her swordsmanship improves by leagues, improving the performance of Heavenly Demon Rain, as well as enabling the usage of Trichiliocosm. However, it also has the side effect of causing her to realize how utterly absurd and inefficient her current acting of a JK is, and she ends up hating her usual self and is such is not eager to use such an ability.
  
  Kenmyouren - A normal looking sword with a single tassel attached to the hilt. It allows Suzuka to see various parallel worlds. If used for too long, she'll lose her qualifications as a heroic spirit. In effect, combined with 'Blessing of Wisdom', it effectively it allows her to think and process information on par with a super computer.
  
  Daitsuuren - A gold colored sword with two tassels. The sword is able to do a number of supernatural feats. Suiren - allows it to turn into a blast of water. Rouran, which allows it to turn briefly into a blast of wind. It does however, take it some time to return to its sword form after using it in such a manner.
  
  If used with the hairpin she wears, it is possible to unleash her Noble Phantasm - Heavenly Demon Rain, to create hundreds of copies of the sword in order to rain down upon her opponents. If used with 'Blessing of Wisdom', it becomes possible to control them to a greater extent, though it is still largely inaccurate.
• Abilities: Being a Heroic Spirit, Suzuka possesses both superhuman physical abilities that put her well above most humans. Indeed, most normal humans wouldn't hope to stand a chance against such a spirit. Aside from this, she has a rank of Mystic Eyes which let her charm male humans making them feel intense love towards herself if not properly warded, and she is able to control her three swords through telepathic means, typically putting them to full use during a fight for both defense and offensive purposes.

[KoL]

• Name:
Takamachi Nanoha the "Ace of Aces", a.k.a. "The White Devil"
• Gender:
Female

• Appearance:

• Personality:
Nanoha is likely one of the most cheerful and friendly persons you can ever meet. She's always willing listen to someone else's problems. Nevertheless, she's as stubborn as a mule, once she puts something on her head, she'll not give up on it, no matter the hardships she has to endure to achieve that goal. She's also, quite hmm... proactive when it comes be it fighting or trying to befriend people. This trait of hers is a reflex of the one time Nanoha failed to stop a crisis before it happened because she took it as game. Ever since that day she vowed to never let that happen again, even at the cost of putting herself at harm's way. However, she'll never throw her life away to do so. After the most recent incident she has been involved with, Nahoha made a promise to herself that she shouldn't make anyone else cry. Even if she cannot come to love herself and overcome her own self doubts just yet, throwing her life away in a battle would make those dear to her sad and this is something Nanoha absolutely can't allow to happen.
• Brief History:
A self-taught genius that has a natural knack for magic unseen in any of the people from her magically backwards homeworld. Nanoha came into contact with the world of magic by accident, after rescuing a wounded animal that happened to be mage from another world. After some contrived circumstances involving a monster attack she joined him —at first unwillingly— on his quest to seal the dangerous relics known as Jewel Seed, one of the many items known as Lost Logia.
It didn't take long for Nanoha to develop an interest on the world of magic, which was only intensified after she met Fate Testarossa, another interdimensional mage. At first, the two of them were rivals fighting for the same objective but with different goals. After 'setting their differences aside', the duo became inseparable friends. Putting an end to the sadness involving their meeting and the Jewel Seed incident.
Soon enough another crisis threatened the very existence of Earth. Nanoha and Fate teamed up again and fought against and together with the source of the crisis. In the end, the world was saved once more. Peace wouldn't last forever, though. At this point one can only wonder what other hardships are waiting them and their friends in the future. Whatever it's Nanoha is ready for it.
• Universe of Origin:
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
• Equipment:
Intelligent Device: Raising Heart Excelion
Formula Cannon & Fortress System (Mode F)
• Abilities:
One of the youngest, and certainly one of the most talented, mages to ever achieve the title of Ace, Nanoha is considered a special case even by the most talented authorities of her homeworld. Her abilities as Bombardment magic specialist are second to none, coupled with the ability to fly (a rather rare skill that only the best mages can ever hope to master) and monstrous endurance make Nanoha a foe to be reckoned. She can sustain and dish out damage at a level most others in her world can only dream of achieve. Her heavy focus on ranged attacks, protection and binding spells limit Nanoha's ability to fight in melee range to —really— brute force attacks most of the time, but she's not to underestimated either thanks to her sheer tankiness. The reason why Nanoha has such a focus on endurance is easy to understand, her biggest trump card, the Starlight Breaker, gets progressively more powerful the longer a battle lasts.

Introducing Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou

• Name: Magilou. Her real name is generally kept hidden for Reasons.
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: She is a witch. Probably
• Personality:
• A strange, quirky girl seemingly lacking a serious bone in her body, Magilou does not concern herself too much with formality, preferring to go along with the flow and coast her way to... wherever she seems to be going. Though a lot more insightful and wise than she lets on, this isn't shown off too often, leaving others to deal with a strange witch that gives round-about answers to the most mundane of questions. She prefers to give as little insight to her thoughts as possible, which can make any half-serious remark or observation all the more surprising to hear. Magilou seems to like the shroud of mystery she's cloaked herself in, and relishes in little lies and jokes to tease the more gullible folk listening to her tall tales. While punishing Bienfu for his desperate warnings and dreaded recollections of their time together.
  
  Brief History:
• A self-proclaimed witch first seen in-story within a prison island, she makes her escape during a jailbreak to seek out her former pact-partner Bienfu, who had previously betrayed her. Once reunited, she joins Velvet Crowe in her quest for revenge, more or less along for the ride with little reason to even be around, though her ties to the Abbey are eventually revealed. Despite her detached commentary, she eventually formed a bond with her companions, joining them in ultimately fighting the Shepherd Artorius, before the group all went their separate ways.
• Universe of Origin: Tales of Berseria
• Equipment:
• Wields a "Guardian", which is a piece of paper. It can stretch to the skies and smack things. It's a really sturdy bit of paper. She can even create copies of it, or use it to fly through the air if so inclined.
  There's also her... skirt made of tomes. Apparently, they all contain knowledge on various subjects, but good luck finding out if that's true or not.
• Abilities:
• Due to her pact with her Malakhim, Bienfu, Magilou can cast a variety of spells, known as 'Malak Artes'. Mostly fire or water-elemental in nature, but not exclusively so.
  Magilous can also use some 'Healing Artes' to assist with healing minor injuries or resuscitating an unconscious person.
  She is not a close-quarters fighter at all, but in such a situation, her style is a bit erratic and silly, from waving her Guardian around clumsily, to using it as a springboard for quick escapes.
• Other:
• As noted, Magilou needs Bienfu to cast her spells, and is thus always accompanied by this dapper fellow. While he's visible to the general populace in Berseria, whether or not Malakhim in general can be seen depends on all kinds of factors in-universe. Let's skip all that and assume he can be seen when present.
  Also, adapting her ability to counter enemy spells by stealing their casts is too annoying, so let's ignore that bit.

[Crusader Lord]

A Very Wild Boi

Name: Link

Gender: Male

Appearance:

image

Personality: Prior to the onset of his amnesia, Link was someone who was dutiful, serious, dertermined, and admittedly became a stoic and silent type to try to best handle the nerves and extreme pressure as the chosen Hylian hero. He protected the princess and followed her everywhere, though only when they became close enough did her privately confide in her and talk. After his amnesia, however, he became a jovial, pun-making, joke-loving, silly, sarcastic, and franklly sassy and curious kind of individual as he wandered Hyrule trying to figure out his past and trying to stop Calamity Ganon. A rather odd dichotomy, to be sure, though his bravery and courage in the face of peril and dangers like monsters never did seem to change about him.

After regaining all of his memories, however, parts of Link’s old and new personalities seemed to merge.

He can be courageous to a reckless point at times, yet is more relaxed and is compasionate to those he cares about. He can crack a sarcastic comment of joke, but can also be highly dexterous and ingenious at times in and out of battle. Link can be determined to an extreme when he puts his mind to something, can be wise when he seeks to apply his knolwedge and dexterity, and can even be goofy and sassy when he wants to be as well. His generally stoic face hasn’t truly changed at all despite being more relaxed than he once was, making his sarcasm at times somewhat strange to some people, though another constant about him is that he has always remained a glutton who can’t resist a good meal.

Brief History: In another Hyrule out there, in a far flung future, a fortune-teller spoke of a greaty prophecy. A doom that would befall Hyrule when it once more awakened, and the tale of a princess and ancient hero who defeated this evil 10,000 years ago with the assistance of ancient Shiekah Technology that by now had been long-buried. Link, the one chosen by the Master Sword and latest reincarnation of the Hero, the latest princess of Hyrule, and four other heroes were chosen to try to stop the threat based on this prophecy. Yet despite thier struggles to get along, and fight the menace, they were ultimately defeated and slain....all but two. Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, placed her beloved Link into the ancient and refurbished Shrine of Resurrection, to heal his wounds and keep him alive. She then went off to face the evil, Calamity Ganon, alone in order to save the remnants of Hyrule’s people.

One hundred years later, Link awoke with total amnesia about his past. His combat ability and some traits remained, he acquired Zelda’s old Shiekah slate that had been used to seal him away, and with promptings from the captive Zelda (who was sealing Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle still) and her deceased father Link set off on a mission. He was assigned to gather back his old memories, save the four giant constructs called “Divine Beasts” from Ganon’s control, acquire the Master Sword once more, and then slay Clamity Ganon for good. And so Link traveled around the land of Hyrule, making allies, gathering supplies, cooking food, and slaying vile monsters in his path. Eventually, once he had achieved all prior goals, he set off into Hyrule Castle and slew Calamity Ganon with the help of Princesss Zelda.

Now traveling once more with the freed Princess Zelda, the duo seek to restore Hyrule to its former glory and status. However, it seems another adventure awaits the hero himself in the meantime...

Universe of Origin: Hyrule (“Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”)

Equipment:

-Paraglider: Used with an ability he has to fly far up into the sky and glide down, or to glide down off of high places, this foldable equipment is kept on his person just in case. He can puill it out and put it up seemingly within the blink of an eye, even doing so last minute to avoid catastrophic damage from a fall. It is both fireproof and unable to freeze, both by some mysterious means.

-Master Sword: The Legendary Blade of Evil’s Bane, it has been fully empowered by Link aftrer he underwent special trials to unlock this power. The blade glows with a holy blue light, and is an unbreakable weapon whose power is increased in the face of evil and corruption. It can even strike incorporeal spirits as easily and fully as solid flesh.

-Shiekah Slate: A versatile piece of ancient Shiekah technology. Utilizing Shiekah Towers, which are absent outside of his world pretty much, he can look at a general map of a given area’s terrain and features. He can also view an area’s temperature and even the time using this device. He also has multiple “runes” installed into it for different functions, including a Camera and Album for pictures, and there is a Compendium installed that has data on the various forms of life and creatures of Hyrule. It can also be used to interact with Ancient Shiekah Technology, such as the Shrines the ancient Shiekah once built.

-Bow of Light: A divine bow of great power formed by Princess Zelda, and given to Link during the final battle with Calamity Ganon. It generates and fires its own divine arrows that smite targets with divine power, essentially giving it unlimited ammunition as well, and despite its notable existing might its arrows are rendered even stronger against evil targets.

-Hylian Shield: His trademark Hylian Shield, a well-built and powerful defensive shield he acquired from Hyrule Castle’s depths in this case.

-Champion’s Tunic: The attire he wears that was once given to him as a sign of his status as one of the Champions. It alows him to pasively percieve the “health” of other living things around him, whether it be better (higher) health or lower (poorer) health.

Abilities:

Link is a man of...admittedly a great many talents. Shield surfing on grass and snow and such terrains, cooking potions and delicious/varied meals with multiple potential effects using just a wok, fighting with strength on the level of Gorons and their kind, slaying entire forces of monsters on his own, adeptly and masterfully using any kind of weapon he gets his hands on from bows to brooms to giant leaves and virtually anything else he can grab on the fly, create actual shockwaves when slamming down heavy weapons, chop trees in two slices, deflecting powerful lasers using something as seemigly impossible and simple as a pot lid, and more. He is great with horses as well, can essentially “slow time” when firing a bow in the air, and can easily dodge/react to even the lightning-fast attacks of Thunderblight Ganon whilst parrying enemies with a “flurry blow” that temporarily slows down time for a few seconds. And those are just his personal skills.

He can use the runes has on his sheikah slate to generate spherical or square bombs, freeze an object in time temporarily (including stasis jumps and some assorted silliness), generate ice pillars in even the smallest bodies of water (so long as the body of water is wide enough to generate the pillar), and utilize magnesis to move even giant metal objects out of his way or to smack them into enemies (among such uses). He also can summon the “Master Cycle Zero”, a super-ancient Shiekah divine beast built for him to ride around on when on the ground, getting up to high speeds on even wild terrain, and able to drive and bob/weave circles around the ancient and corrupted Guardians he’s faced in his world. The Master Cycle can run on anything as fuel as well, and is even indestructible to boot, and is summon-able and dismiss-able by Link at will.

He possesses abilities from the Four Champions he once served with as well, which were granted to him. From Urbosa, the Gerudo Champion, he gained the power to summon lightning. From Daruk, the Goron Champion, he gained the power to produce a powerful magical barrier to protect himself from attacks. From Revali, the Rito champion, he gained the ability to create an updraft that sends him high into the air using his paraglider. And from Mipha, the Zora champion, he acquired a passive ability that revives him upon death (derived from her healing powers).

Other: (none)

[Raineh Daze]

• Name: Tachibana Hibiki
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Untransformed. Transformed.
• Personality: An idiot. On the plus side, she's an idiot with an irrepressible noble streak, eager to help people even before getting unusual abilities--even if it meant getting scratched up or falling out of trees. Of course, for all her enthusiasm and sheer exuberance, Hibiki isn't always so cheerful as she appears, but it's often a pretty close thing.
  Also, she's a romantic black hole.
• Brief History: Born 13/09/2027, Hibiki's early life is pretty much completely devoid of anything worth mentioning. However, one day she was in attendance at a Zwei Wing concert--and in order to induce enough Phonic Gain to activate the Nehushtan armour, Finé masterminded a Noise attack. Unlike every other concert-goer, Hibiki survived the incident... at the cost of the lives of one of the artists and getting struck by a shard of... something...
  Fast forward several rather unpleasant years, and Hibiki was able to activate the shard of "something", a piece of Gungnir. Rather a lot more unpleasantness and fighting has happened since then, including faking being dead and breaking the moon; having an arm bitten off and regrowing it; getting shot with a giant laser that purged her of Gungnir; meeting her father again and being left to pay for sandwiches; and being shot in the rear.
• Universe of Origin: Senki Zesshou Symphogear
• Equipment: A fragment of the relic Gungnir, modified with advanced technology to the point that it can be activated into a complete Symphogear--a magitech suit of armour-cum-weapon system powered by singing. It greatly boosts endurance, strength, speed... but still has the limitation of needing the user to sing to work properly. Other functions of Gungnir in particular, as wielded by Hibiki, include a wide variety of pilebunker-assisted punches, kicks, jumps; rocket-propelled versions of the same; and drill-punches. Including dual drill-punches.
• Abilities: Even without the Symphogear, she's far more dangerous than a 17 year-old girl has any right to be, since her punch as of two years ago could completely tear a punching bag off its support. This makes very little sense to a normal person, because her training is also largely emulating action movies.
• Other: Subject to change depending on XV.
