[CHAR] Kingdom Hearts - Lights of the Multiverse [Latest Reboot]

[Double]

Cain

Appearance

Main

Clothes

Bio: Very little is actually known about Cain, what precious little records that exist amounts to him having been in the service of Renovation and its Emperor since before Michael officially inherited the throne. Anything of his past before his service in Renovation is completely shrouded in mystery. Whether Cain is unable or unwilling to share is not known, and even the Emperor and Empress have had little success in discovering his innermost secrets. But Cain has proven a loyal and valuable asset to Renovation, so he is still trusted regardless of his status as an enigmatic figure. Much of what Renovation has learned about Heartless and Nobodies came in part from Cain, who seemed to have such an intimate knowledge of the subjects that proved invaluable to the research of men like Hakim and even of Leo at one point.

Age: ??

Skills: Mostly kept classified, but suffice it to say Cain has often been described as "The Emperor's secret weapon". He rarely enters the fray, preferring to stay behind the scenes, but when he does decide to fight...

Cain's strength and agility almost seem beyond human capability, leading many to incorrectly assume that he must be a Nobody, however that is not the case. He is also not one of the Keyblade's chosen, so whatever strength and power he wields is entirely his own, coming from years of practice and experience. He seems to possess an array of the highest tiers of water, fire, ice, and thunder magic imaginable in addition to a frightening mastery of Darkness, namely The Corridors. And while Cain does not have the power to summon Heartless, he does still have another mysterious breed of creature at his beckoned call. They are similar to Heartless, but are born from negative emotions and feed on them to grow more powerful, Cain calls them the Unversed.

Personality: Cain is shadowy enigma, plain and simple. He is cold, calculating and very much ruthless when he needs to be. He also has an infamous reputation for keeping his cards close to chest, often keeping secrets even from the Emperor himself if doing so serves a more strategically valuable purpose.

Abel

Appearance

Minus the Keyblade

Bio: Abel's story is as shrouded as his face is underneath the helmet. According to him, he is simply a warrior in search of a cause to fight for and nothing more. And with his seemingly arrogant personality, it seemed as if no one except a sinister man like Leo would see any potential in him. Of course, Leo was quick to realize that Abel's Heart curiously possessed not even the faintest trace of Darkness. This proved both intriguing and frustrating. Intriguing because supposedly only the Princesses of Heart could possibly possess a Heart devoid of Darkness, but frustrating because that meant Abel possessed no Darkness he could exploit in order to use him as a vessel. Still, Abel's sheer skill in battle coupled with his rather unique status could still make him a potentially useful addition to Leo's forces. As for Abel himself, he cared not about the sinister nature of Leo's plan. But a man actively trying to remake the entire multiverse in his own image? That sounded like quite the "entertaining" cause to fight for.

Age: ??

Skills: Abel's weapon of choice is to conjure an ethereal spear he sometimes refers to as The Light of Judgement. In truth he can actually summon a seemingly endless number of spears, most of which he can send flying at his opponents as a ranged attacked. He also seems to be able to control where he summons the spears from, resulting in a common tactic involving summoning a great number of them from the ground at his enemy's feet like a spike trap. He also occasionally uses high tier elemental magic but prefers sticking with physical combat whenever possible apart from relying on Reflect spells to render enemy spells ineffective. Having no Darkness also means he is incapable of using Corridors of Darkness on his own, instead having to rely on someone else to conjure one for him. He's also been known to use Light-aligned techniques such as Ragnarok and Ars Arcanum, as well as holy-elemental magics such as Faith and Sacrifice.

Personality: Abel doesn't talk much but is a rather blunt individual when he does. He makes little to no effort to spare someone's feelings, and coupled with a tendency to occasionally criticize his opponent's skills when fighting them, he ends up coming across as caustic and even somewhat arrogant. The truth is, he critiques his enemy's skill because he wants them to give him a greater challenge.

The Kindhearted Shinobi

"Shinobi (忍) is written with blade (刃) and heart (心)!"

Name:
Kagura Ryuzaki

Appearance

Normal

Battle Attire

Bio:
Originally born in the mountainous Tohoku region in Misawa, Aomori. Kagura Ryuzaki never knew his parents and was raised for a time in a series of foster homes, but none of them ever truly felt like home. Instead the young boy always felt like an unwanted guest, not unwelcomed but never truly accepted either. Eventually he simply ran away and lived for two years on the streets, having left Misawa and managed to wander into Sendai, the largest city in Tohoku. This was a period Ryuzaki has no pride for. The young 12 year old had to break a few laws to keep himself from starving to death, namely stealing and shoplifting, or even occasional pickpocketing. But this was also to be the place where his story could truly begin.

On a certain day, Ryuzaki ran his usual scam in order to pick the pockets of a seemingly harmless old man. What the boy didn't know, was that his target was in fact a former master of ninjutsu who caught him easily. Any other person would turned the boy in, but instead the old man asked him a simple question, "Are you hungry?" the man could tell instantly that his would-be culprit had no mind for greed and rather than hand him over to the authorities the man instead invited the boy to have a meal at his home. Once there, the curious Ryuzaki noticed a second building other than the house, but the man kept quiet about its nature. After the meal, the man asked the boy if he had a place to sleep and so offered him a guest room for the night. During the night, Ryuzaki was overtaken by curiosity and snuck out to see what was in the other building. Before he could, shadow creatures emerged from the darkness and attacked. They seemed like the demons from the old fairytales, and the boy was naturally afraid. But before one could lung at him, there was a flash of light and Ryuzaki found a weapon in his hand to defend with. Shortly after the man emerged from the house with a katana and skillfully dispatched the creatures. But he was most surprised by the weapon Ryuzaki held.

"Do you know what it is you carry?" the man asked, a smile beginning to form on his lips. Ryuzaki did not know all the stories concerning the First Ninja, but the man was happy to tell the tale. He formally introduced himself as Shimata Mori. Ryuzaki learned that Mori was one of the last descendants of the Iga, one the 12 Great Ninja Clans that could trace its origin to the First Ninja. While the majority of the 12 Clans ceased their practice of Ninjutsu upon the passing of the new law, the Iga defied the new law and practiced in secret. They believed that the demon threat could still return again, and that at least one of the 12 Clans needed to still be ready to face them. But in all his years and all the history that he had read, Mori had never heard of anyone who could summon the weapon of light to their hands, something almost every ninja believed was either a made up story or something only the First Ninja was capable of. He offered a home to Ryuzaki and vowed to teach him how to use the weapon in his hands, and that as a ninja there would be no goal out of his reach. The rest, as it were, was history.

Ryuzaki's preteen and teen years was spent under the tutelage of Master Mori, who trained Ryuzaki in art of ninja, of stealth, of espionage, and a number of skills. When Ryuzaki wasn't training his body, he studying the scrolls to train his mind and learn the history of the very skills and techniques he was trying to master. It was hard work, but also very fulfilling, and it changed Ryuzaki for the better. He found he no longer thought only of himself, instead now having a kind Mentor whom he wished to do right by, as the man was the closest thing to family that Ryuzaki had ever had. But if there was one lesson that left a resounding impression on the youth, it was Mori's very first lesson: "Shinobi is written with blade and heart." For the longest time Ryuzaki could not understand the meaning of the lesson, but Mori ensured him that he would come to understand it in time.

When Ryuzaki's training was nearing completion, tragedy struck. Ryuzaki was not Mori's first student, that distinction went to a man named Hiroshi Fuwa. Fuwa had become ambitious as his training progressed, and began to harbor the belief that Ninjas should be the true masters of the world and not bow down to a government that feared him. His heart grew cold, and invited Darkness in to corrupt him even further. He had returned to the home of his former master, now the leader of a shadow organization known as the Blades. He had been teaching his followers the ninjutsu he had learned from Mori, but demanded that Mori teach him the final techniques that he had previously denied him. Mori refused, and violence broke out. Fuwa and his followers attacked, and Ryuzaki and his master were outnumbered. But they did not deter, and managed to hold their ground. But something in Fuwa's eyes changed, and his whole body suddenly seemed to permeate with Darkness. He attacked again, this time with a level of strength and agility that far surpassed human limits, and mortally wounded Mori. Angered, Ryuzaki lashed out, summoning his Keyblade despite it being Mori's wish for him to keep the weapon secret. But even with the weapon, he was no match at all for Fuwa who flung him aside without much effort. Still, he was intrigued by the appearance of the Keyblade and even... fearful in a sense and decided to retreat, declaring that Hiroshi Fuwa was dead, and that Orichimaru had been born in his place.

Ryuzaki struggled to move to his master's side. Mori, whose life was beginning to fade, offered a proud smile and placed his hand on Ryuzaki's cheek, "Blade and Heart... my son." And then his life left him.

Age:
23

Skills:
Despite its illegality, Ryuzaki is trained in the art of Ninjutsu. He is skilled at remaining invisible to his enemies and only showing himself when he strikes. Thanks to previous interactions with Moogles, he can also incorporate elemental magic into his Ninjutsu as well, Wind and Ice seem to be favorites of his to use.

Spells

Keyblade: Izanagi

Personality:
A true ninja is a master of his blade and of his heart. At least that was what Ryuzaki was taught, and he does his best to embody that philosophy as much as he can. Before his training, Ryuzaki was alone, and focused only on ensuring his own survival, even when that meant stealing in order to eat. But when he became a ninja, Ryuzaki left that part of himself in the past, and as he puts it, opened his heart to caring for the plight of others. He is a young man who will think nothing of giving his share of rations to someone else who is hungrier than himself, a far cry from the thieving urchin he once was as a boy. To his enemies, however, Ryuzaki is a symbol to be feared, an assassin who strikes from the shadows and just as quickly vanishes... without a trace. It's a balancing act, to be sure, and one that Ryuzaki may not always succeed at pulling off. But nevertheless, that is the kind of man he endeavors to be.

Shadows of the Shinobi

Summary of History:
A seemingly normal world, or at least it was. In 12th century Japan, an unnamed young man made his mark on history by displaying the ability to summon a mysterious blade to his hands. This gave him an uncanny talent for sneaking into places where weapons were prohibited and then summoning his weapon in order to strike a target down while their guard was lowered. The weapons also proved to be the only thing capable of killing the many demons and yokai that plagued the land during this era. This young man came to be known as the First Ninja. His skill became widely known and rumored across the Feudal lands, overtime time the First Ninja found himself in the company of twelve men and women who sought to learn what he knew. Desiring to pass on his knowledge, the First Ninja taught these 12 disciples all he could, and while none of them were ever able to summon a blade to their hands, they each became formidable assassins in their own right. As time went on, the 12 grew old and passed on their knowledge to disciples of their own, and they as well. This was how the 12 Great Ninja Clans were formed. Each utilizing techniques and philosophies developed over the generations but each tracing their origins back to the same man: The First Ninja. During the infamous Warring States Era, the demons thought to have been slayed by The First Ninja began to reemerge, led by a mighty serpent demon known as Orochi, the Demon Lord. But the Great Ninja clans had been training for this, and so they fought the demons to the best of their ability, even managing to banish them back to the nether realm they emerged from when killing them proved impossible. More time passed, and in the modern day the world no longer seems to need Ninja or Samurai of any sort. Tales of the demons had long since faded into legend. During the Meiji Restoration, the 12 Great Ninja Clans fought among themselves in what they would later call the Great Ninja War, fought in secret and in the shadows. Secret though it was, the war had the unintended side effect of nearly burning Kyoto to the ground. Ever since then, the government ordered the dissolution of the 12 Great Clans, and the practice of ninjutsu became outlawed all across the country and would remain so to this day. But there are rumors spreading over the internet of a Shadow Organization said to be comprised of Ninja and of those who descended from Ninja, using their skills not to protect the world but instead for power and selfish gain, at the center of it is a shadowy man who answers to the name Orochimaru.

Important Nations:
The 12 Great Ninja Clans descend from the original 12 Disciples of the First Ninja. Each one became highly specialized in a specific fighting style or the use of specific weapons or tools, but each one traced their origins back to the First Ninja. Demons once plagued the land in ancient times, until the First Ninja was able to hunt down and permanently kill many of them using his legendary weapon of light. He didn't kill them all, though, and the 12 Great Clans that he inspired continued to hunt them in secret until their eventual dissolution by the government during the mid-19th century. The Demons were led during the Warring States Era by a serpent being called Orochi. In the modern day, the 12 Clans have been dissolved and the practice of Ninjutsu has been largely outlawed by the government. But there exists a Shadow Organization consisting of operatives that are rumored to be Ninja, led by a mysterious man named Orochimaru.

Overall Technology Level:
Largely the same as the real world. Ninjutsu techniques tend to range on the fantastical, especially thanks to the introduction of Moogles to the world sometime during the Warring States Era.

Sir Dan

Name: Daniel Fullbright

Appearance:


Bio: Daniel had wanted to be a Paladin ever since he was five, when his entire life was stolen away by the machinations of a spiteful neighbor. The man wished a monster under young Daniel's bed and when his parents went to check...well, he's blocked most of the memories of that night from his mind. He does remember one thing though. The Knight.

A shining figure in the dark of his room, holding him, monster dead on the floor. For Daniel this was akin to a religious experience. For all intents and purposes adopted by his savior, who was themselves barely a teenager at the time, Daniel was brought up in Knighthood. His foster parent drilled in the philosophy of the light, the merits of behaving virtuously, and the benefits of always being prepared. He took these lessons to heart and entered the Knighthood himself at twelve, working with the fervor of a fanatic.

It is only lately that a strange new darkness has erupted across the land, one that could not be traced to any worldly source. With Paladin cells falling one after another and the appearance of strange creatures from another world, a mysterious new power makes itself known to Sir Daniel.

Age: 14

Skills: Daniel has been touched by a mysterious light that gives him the power to confront evil. This light empowers his seemingly frail body, radiating off of him and making him much stronger and faster than he should be.

Daniel can coat others people and things in this light to empower them via physical contact but his speciality is infusing this Light into Magic Grow Capsules, bringing them to life as servants when they come into contact with water. They take on the characteristics of the creature they were made in the image of, becoming as large as in real life and potentially more powerful depending on how much Light was poured into them. In addition, as they are made of empowered sponge, they're capable of stretching and compressing themselves as needed.

Daniel's Keyblade appears to be your typical blade if it were made entirely of pool noodles. Despite this it is just as deadly as any normal keyblade, and is capable of stretching and compressing just like his Magic Grow animals.

Personality: Daniel is a small friendly guy. He tries very much to live up to the platonic ideals of knighthood, striving to be polite, generous, honorable, and chivalrous in all situation. When people speak to him, he listens. Really listens, and remembers, because you are important. He's intense, in a scary obsessive sort of way. It's like he's laser focused all the time, on everything. He is, without question, a workaholic.

---

Name: Paladin's Rest

Summary of History: As normal, save for the fact that dark feelings have a possibility of manifesting as a horrible monster. A mysterious light stands in opposition to these monster, and empowers certain humans to fight against the creatures that stalk the night. Throughout the ages these Paladins have worked to keep the world safe from darkness in secret.

By some quirk of fate the typical Paladin weapon is some variation of children's toy.

Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): Same as normal

Overall Technology Level: Modern Day

[Nerevarine]

The Forest Saint

Name:
Sunja (Junko) [順子], the Forest Saint (Mori no Seijin)

Appearance:


Bio:
Sunja was born in a monastery city in northern Korea, the heartland of the Naiman Khanate, and long since converted to Nestorian Christianity. From a young age, she took interest in topics of religion and was ordained a nun in the cities monastery around the age of 13, where she would spend the next 10 years in study. It was in 1344, that the Khan, Yok'an II, demanded that an assembly of missionaries be gathered and sent to the east, to Japan, at the request of a local warlord who had taken interest in the faith of the Koreans and wished for him and his subjects to be educated in Christianity. Sunja was one of the individuals selected to be sent to the Islands, where she came to be known as Junko, a translation of her name into Japanese. Collaborating with her colleagues to create proper materials in Japanese to explain the religion and theology, the Warlord changed his mind at the urging of his superior and demanded that the missionaries leave and return to Korea. However, when the missionaries took too long to depart from the Islands, the local lord had his warriors go out and kill them, leaving only Sunja and a small group of survivors to flee into the forests for safety.

While hiding in the forest, Sunja came into contact with a strange hermit. The man spoke no Japanese, nor Korean or Chinese, but was able to communicate with Sunja though Syriac, the liturgical language of the Nestorians. He revealed himself to be an alchemist, who had traveled from the far west, the lands of Daishin, in search of a secluded place to practice his arts away from prying eyes. The alchemist lamented of his age, that he would die without finding a way to stop the Selenites, though Sunja knew not who the Selenites were. However, the old man took notice of something about Sunja, a great power that emiated from inside of her, though she did not know of it. The man revealed himself, the great-grandson of the man who was known as the Great Sage of Dashin, and who had left to continue the work of his father and grandfather, though now he had no heir onto whom to pass the culmination of his and his ancestors' work, the Elixir of Life. But he felt that the great magical power within Sunja would be enough to make good use of the Elixir, which would not help him, who had been reduced to an old frail man from age, as the Elixir did not restore vitality, only increase natural magical power and augment vitality, along with the granting of immortality. Though Sunja initially refused, the Sage took no refusal, and forced the young girl to drink the elixir, forcing her into a war she had no desire in which to fight.

For the next few years, Sunja stayed in the forest, reducing herself to the status of a hermit, and taking only interest in the outside world to help travelers make their way through the woods, earning herself a semi-mythical status as Junko, Mori no Seijin (Junko the Forest Saint). During this period of exile, Sunja established a small wooden Nestorian chapel in the great forest, marked as her residence, and began to experiment with her newfound powers, the sudden increase of her natural potential magic, allowing her to summon her keyblade for the first time. Sunja initially rejected these powers, believing them to be demonic and that the Sage had somehow tainted her with black magic. But over time, gradually found ways to put them to use in helping the peasants of the Great Forest. The people of the area came to known the Forest Saint as a hero, though a reluctant one who rarely ventured out of her forest home.

The Selenites would invade Earth shortly after, arriving first in China, where they overpowered the ruling Mongols, and then expanded east and west, coming to the attention of the Japanese when it had come that they had conquered Korea and were making their way to Japan. Sunja responded to the calls and rose up to help defend Japan from the invading Selenites.

Age:
32

Skills:
Having drunk the Sage's Elixir of Life, Sunja has an increased capacity for Magic, as well as greatly improved physical strength and vitality, along with functional immortality, in the form of an inability to age nor to contract illnesses. However, as the Sages were unable to replicate Chang'e's elixir perfectly, the elixir does not grant immortality from injury.

Being a self-taught mage, Sunja's skill with magic is naturally high but very sloppy and unrefined. Her use of fire magic is destructive, to an almost humorous degree, with her control over said magic being about as low as one could get, with Sunja able to easily sling around fireballs, but is likely to do some collateral damage and hurt her allies in the process. Since acquiring the keyblade, her skill has improved slightly, but her magic is still sloppy and untrained.

Personality:
Sunja is a pensive individual, often appearing as aloof and cold. In truth, she is simply a very introverted individual, at home alone in her old monastery or in her forest home. While seemingly disinterested in the world around her and the people she must work with, she does have a strong internal sense of justice and altruism and tries to abide by the precepts of her faith to make the world around her a little better. She suffers from a case of Post-Traumatic stress following the slaughter of her colleagues among the missionaries and has an aversion to becoming close to others as a result, resulting in some difficulty in forming bonds with her teammates. She retains some of her habits as a nun, preferring to keep secluded in her free time, locked away in study of her faith, and of the world around her.

The Lunar Rabbit

Name:
Meri

Appearance:

_{(Yes, I know it's Reisen fan art. There aren't many good rabbit eared girls who fit my theme and aren't weirdly sexualized in the artwork)}

Bio:
Selenites are an artificial species created by the alchemist Chang'e to serve as her personal army against humanity for her exile. Descended from a collection of rabbits brought to the moon by Chang'e, they would go on to populate her empire, through the manipulation of their genetic code by alchemy, creating a humanoid species that could be trained to create a civilization and the social hierarchy to conquer the earth. Chang'e ruled over them as a Goddess-Empress, guiding the development of them and their society for thousands of years.

Meri was one of the generation of Selenites born to participate in Chang'e's invasion of earth. The initial force was deposited in China, where they quickly took over the area with their magic, overpower the unexpecting defenders. Meri was chosen for the second wave of invaders, to land in the west and conquer the collapsing Roman Empire. Meri, however, had developed a change of heart during the invasion upon seeing the sheer brutality, and defected, fleeing to join resistance against Chang'e's invasion. During this time, Meri came to discover that she had the ability to manifest a strange weapon, a keyblade, seemingly out of nowhere. Using this, Meri has worked to try and cease the invasion forces of her kin, and end the war.

Age:
22

Skills:
Being a Selenite, Meri has physical capabilities that exceed that of a similar human. Being born into the military caste, she was trained from a young age to fight and has skill in conventional combat like sword fighting and use of spears. In addition, she is part of a caste of Selenites with the hereditary ability to use magic, marking her out as a Mystic Knight. She has natural skill in magic, and the keyblade allows her to focus her use even more, making her a skilled controller of magic. In addition, her vitality is high, letting her take far more hits and damage than a normal human, and likewise is incapable of aging nor contracting illness, though as the elixir used by Chang'e on the Selenites did not convey immortality, she is capable of dying by injury.

Personality:
Meri has a rather sarcastic and humorous attitude, seeing the light side in every situation she is in. A gregarious character, she enjoys meeting and talking to new people, and always has a story to tell. She has a dry, and at times rather dark sense of humor, commenting on situations and the world around her. She is, however, quick to anger when she is annoyed or feels disrespected, and is known to hold grudges. But due to her rather humorous and laidback nature, she rarely takes genuine offense or annoyance to anything nor anyone.

Cursed Child

Character Sheet
Name: Auxentia Grimulfa
Appearance:

Bio:
Born as Grimawulfa in a Gothic family settled by the area of Pannonia by the Romans. Grimawulfa was the daughter of a Gothic man and a captured Roman woman of Gaulish and Syrian descent. Seeing oppourtunity to exploit the Goths, the Romans began the practice of regularly starving out Gothic settlements within the empire to force the Goths to sell their children as Slaves for food. Grimawulfa was one of these children, bought by a Roman slaver to be sold off in Thessaloniki, given a Latin name, Auxentia. The children were bough by a merchant from a small city in north eastern Syria, called Gabala.

Gabala was the center of a Gnostic sect, who sought to achieve gnosis by appeasing the true god with the blood sacrifices. The Gothic slave children were purchased with the intended goal of being killed as offerings to the god Abraxas. However, unknown to any, Auxentia's mother was the daughter of a rogue Gabalian priest, and her presence triggered the rise of Abraxas, who promptly killed most of the inhabitants of Gabala, turning any survivors insane or into monstrous creatures. While the priest captured and attempted to kill Auxentia as a sacrifice to spare himself from being killed by Abraxas,in his death she took his book, which seemed to call out to her. Reading its pages, she found herself able to use its magic to defend herself, and hopefully to survive and escape. But now, in addition to the beasts spawned from Abraxas, now strange new creatures, unknown to her, are spawning in Gabala.
Age:
13
Skills:
A survivalist, she's skilled at sneaking around and avoiding combat, staying undetected as much as possible. But when confonted, She can use the energy of thr transdimensional demon Abraxas to use dark magic through the book, the Gnosticum Infamante. However, its use is taxing on her mentally and spiritially, and process makes her ill, and at a certain point becomes disturbing enough that she will cease being able to so much as speak.
Personality:
Quiet, almost a mute. She refuses to talk to most people, and is riddled with trust issues and insecurity.

Spawn of the Dragon

Character Sheet
Name: Luminita Draculea
Appearance:

Bio:
Fourty years ago, a group of rogue keybladers split off from the Old Keyblade Order, under the leadership of a man known only as Dracul "The Dragon". Calling themselves "The Order of the Dragon", they were dedicated to defending the multiverse and destroying "the perfidious Enemy" who threatened the existence of the Multiverse itself, something that they believed the Order they split off from was infective of doing. The Order was targeted for destruction by its parent, with most of it's surviving members being hunted down and killed. At it's lowest point, the Order was reduced from its 20 founding members, to only 5 surviving members. Dracul and his surving followers went into hiding, returning to his home in Wallachia of Renovation. It was at this time that he would find himself a father, his daughter being born during this dark time. Seeing her as a light in the darkness, he named her Luminita. The order would remain in hiding until the time of the Destruction of the Old Keyblader Order.

With the Old Keyblade Order's fall, Dracul saw an opportunity to seek amnesty and protection for his followers. The Order members and their children go from Wallachia to the Byzantine Empire. It was there that the Dragon asked the Emperor to be allowed to settle in Constantinople, in exchange for the services of he and the Order as personal defenders of the Multiverse. The Emperor agreed.

Shortly after their relocation into the Byzantine borders, Dracul would head his organization for another 15 years under the banner of the Byzantines, but perished after a period of illness, leaving his then 20-year-old daughter, herself a keyblader as well, to head his organization. Luminita was more than capable of handling herself, having essentially run the group by her father's side for years, but now was on her own, and needed to prove herself worthy of her position. While she has been working on it for the last 5 years as a faithful soldier, now an opportunity arises for her to cement her capabilities. With direct request from the Emperor, she is currently tasked with a very sensitive mission.

Skills:
Training since essentially birth with the Order has made Luminita have a very acute sense of military tactics and strategy, and she is highly trained in the use of all sorts of weapons, from firearms, to swords, to hand to hand combat. Like her father before her, she has a natural skill in Fire Magic, and it is her primary form of magical combat. She specializes not only in offensive fire magic but status effects and buffs as well.

Fire - Fira - Firaga - Offensive Fire spells
Flare - A very powerful fire spell
Burn - Sets the target's clothing, hair or other such on fire to produce continuous burn damage
Overheat - Raises target's body temperature to cause them to pass out from heat exhaustion
Flame Armor - Coats an ally in a suit of fire for protection
Fire Augment - Gives allies weapons a fire augmentation for burning damage

Personality:
Despite her very rough, bleak upbringing in the mountains trained as a destined soldier, she is notorious for her very playful attitude and gregarious behavior. She loves to joke with her teammates and is often teasing or flirting with them to try and make them uncomfortable for her own amusement. She has a love for wine and usually keeps it around her transports and rooms at all times. In times of crisis, her personality seems to take a complete 180, becoming hyperaggressive in battle.

Luna Dial

Name:
Luna Dial

Summary of History:
In the world of Luna dial, some individuals are born with the natural power to manipulate matter and energy around them. These people, alchemists, are a rare occurrence, but one with profound impacts.
The Earliest divergence was the birth of the Alchemist named Chang'e in ancient China. Chang'e created and developed the Elixir of Life, but kept it for herself, and out of anger, the Emperor had her exiled, and Chang'e fled to the Moon, vowing to take her revenge upon humanity in the future. With her, Chang'e took the rabbits that she had been farming. After terraforming the Moon to suit her and her livestock, Chang'e released her rabbits and tinkered with their DNA for thousands of years, to create a powerful race of warriors called the Selenites. Chang'e's presence could be felt by future alchemists on earth, who took fear of her. One of these, a man who would come to be known as the Great Sage of Rome, used his magic and his gift of foresight to manipulate the Byzantine Emperor to better fortify the empire and it's expansion, managing to have the Byzantines take back much of Western Europe and North Africa, to put down the rise of Islam in Arabia, and utterly destroy the Sassanids, and prevent them from ever coming back. However, during an attempt to have Rome expand into Iran proper, the Sage was struck by an arrow in the neck, killing him. With the disappearance of the Sage's son, the Empire began to collape rapidly, with the Franks, formerly loyal allies of Rome, turning against them once again, and the Arian Goths rising up once more to form their Kingdom of Asturias in Iberia, and reconquer the south. Meanwhile, the Berbers rise up in North Africa to break Byzantine control. Meanwhile, the now Christian Mongols and Turks sweep across Asia, spreading their new Nestorian brand of Christianity, and the Seljuks forming there Empire in the ashes of Persia and taking land all the way up to the Tigris River. Now, Chang'e has returned with her army to invade Earth and take her vengeance against humanity.

The Selenites

Selenites are an artificial species of Humanoids who were developed by Chang'e from her original livestock of Domestic Rabbits to be utilized as an invasion force for her return to Earth. Selenites are a naturally magically gifted species, being born from Chang'e's genetic tampering and treated with weaker forms of her Elixir of Life. The culture of the Selenites is loosely based off of that of Ancient China, but evolved over thousands of years. However, due to the position of Chang'e, the Selenites are a generally matriarchial culture. They have a strict social hierarchy, with Warriors and Priests at the top, and all others below them. Selenites worship Chang'e as a goddess and see her as their living deity and empress. Naturally violent as well, the Selenites only become more violent and aggressive as they become stressed and fearful, a modification of the rabbit's behavior of Tonic Immobility by Chang'e, modifying the rush of dopamine not to immobilize the Selenite but to overwhelm them with feelings of pleasure to encourage their violent and risk-taking behavior. Selenites, despite their seemingly innocuous origins, are an extremely dangerous species, crafted to be an invasion force.

[Tenma Tendo]

Child of the Sixth Brightest

Name: Capella Auriga
Bio: Many liked to joke that Capella was born with a textbook and notebook in both hands. Growing up within a family of one of the brightest ten, it wasn't very far from the truth. Everyday was spent mostly at school, studying, learning, and harnessing the knowledge that's been passed down from generation to generation. It got so bad that she had trouble even remembering what her parents even looked like, but in the end it should be worth it, right? And that it was once she was handed the Keyblade, Halcyon. It was the key to widen Capella's horizons and help her train for the worlds beyond The Milky Way. She continued her studies, now more out an unknown desire then something that was forced upon her. Less and less time was spent with others and more was poured into the books, her glyphs, and reading the stars for her own benefit. Exercising her vocal chords and maintaining her already low social skills diminished to nothing by the time she perfected her fortunetelling and caught a glimpse of the Heartless invading the homes of others and eventually her own. Knowing that big 3 were too prideful to get any more help from the Moogles, Caplla decided to take matters into her own hands.
Age: Appears 19
Skills: While physically she's nothing special, Capella makes up for it with her vast amount of knowledge on the most mundane of things. She's cunning and knows how to work her way through any problem that might stand in her way, despite her body not being able to keep up with her. Along with her Keyblade, Halcyon, Capella is a master spell-caster through the use of gylphs. By placing a constellation of her desire on a surface, she's able to place a spell on the glyph and activate it whenever she needs to. She can often be seen using her Halcyon to draw the glyphs as well as activate them. This paints her as a more ranged fighter, but she can hold her own in close combat, albeit barely. However she never seems to need to, as her strategy of setting glyphs and going in and out of enemy range always seems to be ten steps ahead of whoever she finds herself going against.
Personality: A bookworm 'mute' at heart, Capella comes off as very mystical and mysterious, especially with her clothing. She's often seen as being mature and focused in most situations, but once that focus is broken, depending on what broke it could lead to terrible results. Capella's easily frightened and can be very jumpy if snuck up on. Due to her muteness and lack of human interaction, once you get to know her, Capella can be seen having an 'awkward but honestly trying to be friendly' streak. However when it comes learning or teaching those around her, Capella gives off a unique air of calmness, similar to that of royalty.

The Milky Way

Name: The Milky Way
Summary of History: A world where the stars dictate power and social standing. It's also a world where every star was a close as the sun is to Earth. Every person is said to be born form a star and that star determines name and the brightness of said star determines where one would stand in the hierarchy of The Milky Way. Follows the evolution of regular Earth for the most part, but the humans and animals have instead been granted a piece of the star they came from within some part of their body as well as the stars taking a higher precedence over gods. Keyblades are said to have been forged from the stars as well, being passed down the generations of the ten brightest, Capella being the sixth.

The Milky Way is a world of knowledge, many constantly seeking to understand the powers they were blessed with. And while many breakthroughs were made, knowledge and information remained something very important to those of the Milky Way. Because of this, there are many schools and institutions that focus on the different kinds of studies that revolve around the stars. Capella in particular focused on glyphs, cosmic arts and fortune telling.
Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): While the ten brightest are treated like royalty among the others, it's the big three of Sirius, Canopus, and Rigil Kentaurus that hold all rule over the Milky Way and are the ones that govern, rule, as well as dictate what the people are meant to be focusing on.
Overall Technology Level: Low. Those of The Milky Way thrive through the cosmic energy from the stars and rely on little technology from the Moogles.

[Shiyonichi]

The Goddamn Mailman!

Name:Jack Heartful
Appearance:
Bio: The Ruins of Old Earth is a harsh place that require the kindness of other worlds to get by without lacking something essential. As such it’s Jack’s job to get the supplies to the most dangerous locations on Old Earth on behalf of the Moogles and the other worlds, a job he’s never failed thanks to a large key and a strong heart.
Age: 25
Skills: Jack has all the skills a post apocalyptic survivor needs. Survival and foraging skills, medical knowledge, cooking with whatever is on hand, and more. As for combat skills he knows how to fight with basically anything, after all in a ruined world you can’t really afford to complain with what you have on hand. Of course, he’s a master of the sword, though he doesn’t really have any formal training. He has to get by with self taught style. As for magic, he’s adept with all of the types of magic, his experience had taught him to be as flexible as possible. Though if there was one magic he would consider himself most adept with, it’s the cure series of spells. His experience as a courier gave him the experience to operate most vehicles, including Gumi ships. Overall, he’s a Jack of all trades in both combat and utility having very few masteries, but few weaknesses.

Personality: Jack can be described as a glass half full kind of guy, as he refused to let the situation on Old Earth drag him down into the dirt. He keeps a relaxed, casual, and friendly demeanor, but this doesn't mean he’s naive. He is still someone that grew up on the cut throat, Ruins of Old Earth. Which taught him to be quite deceiving and ruthless at times and he even tends to downplay himself to give himself an advantage.



Note: This character has a short history, because I believe that this character works better without a complex backstory, which could be modified within the story itself, plus this character is meant to be rather “simple and clean” so he doesn’t really need a complex backstory. He will have his backstory updated as the story goes on.

Heartful Machine

Name: Reina Heartful
Appearance:

Bio: Reina is not human, rather she’s an advanced assassination android found by Jack after he fell into the ruined lavatory she was sealed in, after being chased in there by a large horde of Heartless. Afterwards, Jack took her in as his partner in crime and family member. Since she was quite the special android, after all she could use a keyblade, she was an android with a heart.
Age: ??
Skills: The guess that Reina was an assassin android is not an unfounded guess on the part of Jack and the moogles, as Reina has the ability to mimic nearly every action of a human. From eating by breaking down food into biofuel to healing by the use of nanomachines, though she had deleted the ability to mimic human emotions, after learning she had a heartof her own she wanted to express true emotions rather than mimicked ones. As an android Reina doesn’t feel pain or get tired, she also has a physique beyond that of normal humans. She also has the ability to use the Keyblade and thanks to her programming, use it well along with every weapon found on Old Earth, as well as hand to hand combat. Though she struggles at using magic. She has the ability to interface with technology that is on par with and lower than the ancient technology found on Old Earth. Overall a very
Personality: Due to having deleted her emotional mimicry system, she is rather monotone and seemingly taciturn. Though she’s actually closer to a cat or a small child. She is highly curious about the smallest of things from why birds fly or why rainfalls, though her biggest curiosity is with the heart, as such her favorite activity is people watching. She also seemed to have picked up slight amounts of sarcasm, presumably from her guardian, Jack. Speaking of Jack, he and Reina treat each other like siblings, as a matter of fact the name of Heartful was created by Jack, as neither Reina or Jack had a last name before they found each other and Reina wanted to know what a family is like.



Note: Another character with a short backstory. It’s more for mystery, I have an idea, so PM me if you’re willing to add it to the story, while I have an idea, we can still expand it and modify it to fit better with the story.

Again going to update this as the story goes on.

[Gisk]

Character Sheet
Name: Stefan

Appearance

Bio: In Stefan’s world, he really wasn’t all that special. He was a member of the Shining Host, an order of knights and soldiers who are dedicated to the protection and peace of the world at large. What power he has is seen as the world’s power, not his own, and while he has a certain level of respect as a soldier, members of the Host are viewed as an extension of the Heart of the World.
Isik Dunya is a world with a strong Heart, and has always kept the darkness at bay. Just like Stefan and his own abilities, however, it was most vulnerable to attack from within. The Ebon Cabal, a cult wielding the power of darkness, infiltrated the world’s leadership. By the time anyone realized it was happening, it was too late to keep Isik Dunya from falling into chaos. The Ebon Cabal let paranoia do much of their work for them, dividing people so that they could destroy or convert the smallest and weakest groups one by one.

In the end, the world was swallowed by the darkness. Not all was lost, however. Many members of the Shining Host survived, and served as beacons for other inhabitants of the world whose hearts were strong enough to withstand the encroaching darkness. They were scattered among the worlds, most of them falling back on the selfish paranoia that characterized Isik Dunya in its latter days. Sects of the Host tend to be well protected, but keep to themselves and don’t allow anybody, no matter how desperate or destitute, to join them.

Stefan himself was set adrift, but differed from his fellows, as a fascinating weapon attached itself to him, attracted to his strength of heart in much the same way as the other survivors were attracted to members of the Shining Host. Some of these survivors followed him as well, but he left them in the care of another sect that they found, and set off on his own to discover the nature of the force that destroyed his home.

Age: 27
Skills: A sword fighter of astonishing skill and tenacity. Stefan has a seemingly limitless well of stamina, which is only amplified by his light-harnessing suit.
Stefan wields the power of Light quite naturally. Using its powers of protection and healing are second nature. He has strong protection magic on himself at basically all times, and he can expand it outward to protect others as well when needed. This is the time when he is most vulnerable, as anything within his protection when he does this could strike him as if he were any other human.

Personality: Calm and patient. Stefan prefers to take his time, and has been known to beat enemies(both physically and socially) simply by outlasting them. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, and his animosity will manifest in small ways.
Stefan has never truly hated anyone in his life.

World Sheet
Name: Isik Dunya
Summary of History: The history diverges from our own during the Mongol Empire. After a victorious conquest of China, the Khans, beginning with Ghengis, began to systematically destroy all knowledge of gunpowder.
This world evolved to be largely quite peaceful. Even when there is conflict, death and destruction are kept in check by a sense of honor, and surprisingly advanced medicine.

Important Nations: Istanbul, Saxony, Mongolia, Powhatan Confederacy, Azteca and Olmeca.
Overall Technology Level: Similar to modern day in many ways. There are no guns, or internal combustion engines. Their technological niche is filled with Alchemy and Stellistry(the harnessing of power from the sun and stars). This world has made the moon landing, and is on the brink of exploring Mars.

[ShadowVentus]

Asher Rain

Name: Asher Rain

Appearance:

Picture

Bio: Asher was born into a time of great strife. The streets of Medieval London were teeming with vermin that would prey upon the weak, stealing precious belongings whenever someone couldn’t afford to pay the dues that came with protection from the Royal Guard. He was given his name in hopes that his family would be blessed with the highest form of prosperity imaginable, to raise them from the ashes of their meager lives bring salvation upon others. He worked hard as he grew, learning how to lead a proper life from his mother and father. In following the rules set to him by both his parents and the Royal Guard, he lived an average, yet happy life throughout his youth. However, that all changed upon the arrival of his 13th birthday.
His father was a few gold pieces short of meeting the mark for the Royal Guard’s fee due to a sudden increase in the amount, the soldiers gave raised him hell for it by quite literally putting their homestead to the torch. This trial by fire nearly separated Asher from his parents, the wooden infrastructure of the building groaning as the wooden beams supporting the ceiling gave way, the ceiling on the cusp of collapsing. Before this could happen, a group of cloaked figures braved the flames, grabbing Asher, his parents and any belongings they deemed valuable to them and saving them from the clutches of death. The young Asher, his lungs filled with smoke, fell unconscious in the arms of his veiled saviour. Sometime later, the boy awoke, gasping for air as his body sputtered back to life. He sat up in the bed he had been placed in, and came face-to-face with the very same individual that had saved his life that day. She removed her hood, revealing amber-colored eyes, black hair, and a rather kind smile. She introduced herself as Bloody Mary, the leader of the Vigilant Shepherds.
In exchange for keeping his parents safe, Asher trained under Mary, learning the ways of the rogue. From pickpocketing and smooth-talking to utilizing the tools of the trade such as lockpicks and throwing daggers, Asher spent the next 7 years perfecting the trade. During this period of time, a job he had undertaken led him to unlocking a hidden potential within him to wield the otherworldly weapon known as the keyblade. He would soon learn that he was the main line of defense against the new threat London faced in the form of the Heartless.

Age: 20

Skills: Aside from the usual song and dance arsenal equipped by traditional thieves, Asher has had extensive training in short-swords and archery. Thanks to his newfound weapon, his hidden potential for magic has been realized. While he certainly has the capability of being a jack of all trades with magic, he mainly prioritizes Aero-based skills, negative status spells, and transportation enhancements such as Haste and Warp due to his line of work. He has enchanted his throwing daggers with a passive Warp ability, allowing their safe return to his side after being released. His keyblade even has the capability of transforming into a hearty bow that can fire arrows of light.

Weapon(s)/Inventory:

Fate Rebellion

Throwing Dagger(s)

Earrings of Whisper received from Bloody Mary (Spade = Asher, Club, Heart, Diamond)
Coin of Fate (description found in Personality section): A keepsake with untapped potential

Personality: Given his upbringing, Asher is kind to those he considers worthy of his trust. Otherwise, his tongue can be as sharp as his blades, having a bluntness to him that has a tendency to rub people the wrong way. Coinciding with his namesake, he very heavily believes in the concept of luck, for there have been situations that without it, he feels that he may have not lived to see another day. He typically makes decisions based on the flip of a gold coin that he keeps on his person at all times. This coin has the wheel of fortune, the symbol of Fortuna, imprinted on the heads side, and a set of scales on the tails side.

World Sheet

Name: Medieval London
Summary of History: A world where creatures and individuals believed to be only of myth are given life. As a result of this, when the Heartless first invaded, no one really payed them any mind. Of course, that all changed once their numbers grew, devouring the hearts of the townsfolk and Royal Guard alike. Upon the arrival of the moogles, the Royal Guard commissioned weapons that could keep this new scourge at bay. While the Vigilant Shepherds took a similar approach, they also upgraded themselves by dabbling in the ways of magic.
Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): The Royal Guard is the main line of authority in this world, acting as a protective wall for the royal family, and taking upon themselves to keep the townsfolk in check in pursuit of their own twisted justice. The underground organization known as the Vigilant Shepherds arose to aid the people of London. Led by this world’s Bloody Mary, this band of rogues does everything they can to protect the common folk and take any stab they can at the Royal Guard in the process.
Overall Technology Level: Relatively low, with the exception of magic and items that can properly be enchanted.

Morgan Rain

Name: Morgan Rain

Appearance: data.whicdn.com/images/168716887/larg…

Bio:
Morgan was born a year after her brother. Throughout her childhood, the standards held for her were nowhere near as high as they were for Asher. As a result, she always acted as a source of comfort for him whenever he became overwhelmed by the endless study sessions set up by his parents or when he returned home exhausted by the colossal amount of errands given to him to run around town. She always admired him for rising to the challenges presented to him by the townsfolk. However, the dawn of her sibling’s 13th birthday brought her peaceful life to a grinding halt.
Their father was a few gold pieces short of meeting the mark for the Royal Guard’s fee due to a sudden increase in the amount, so the soldiers raised him hell for it by quite literally putting their homestead to the torch. Having been in her room on the second floor of the house, this trial by fire had completely separated Morgan from the rest of her family. The roaring of the fire muffled her cries for help. Her only way out from a fiery death being a leap of faith from the window in her room, she was about to make way and jump for it. However, before this could happen, a pitch-black portal opened up before her. A hooded individual stepped out from the portal, and everything around her seeming to progressively slow down as this figure entered the space. The entity outstretched their right hand to her, as if beckoning her towards them. “If you wish to live to see your family once more...come with me.” Acknowledging that this was indeed a life or death decision, Morgan decided to take a chance on this stranger and took their hand. Once she entered with them into the Corridor, the individual cast Sleep on her. Perhaps due to the stressful situation she had just narrowly avoided, there was almost no resistance from her as she faded into a deep sleep, now being carried to their destination by the cloaked figure. She awoke in what appeared to be a room within an inn. Upon exiting the room, she was greeted by the very same hooded figure that had saved her earlier. Sitting parallel to him in a nearby booth, they removed their hood, unveiling piercing golden amber eyes, long white hair braided and tied off into a ponytail, and a cocky grin. Introducing himself as the infamous Jack the Ripper, he explained that he was the commander of a specialized team known as the Merciless Shepherds. In exchange for saving her life, he asked that she simply join his motley crew and work alongside them for the time being. Considering the circumstances, Morgan accepted, hoping this new path in her life would lead her back to family. During this period of time, a job she had undertaken led her to unlocking a hidden potential within her to wield the otherworldly weapon known as the keyblade. Shortly after this, Jack informed her of the fact that her brother had been working for his sister this whole time, and that he was recently given clearance to allow the two of them to work together. She immediately set out to do so, excited at getting the chance to not only see Asher, but also to show him just what she was capable of now. However, little did she know, more than just a reunion awaited her within this chance meeting...

Age: 19

Skills: Much like her brother, Morgan also has received proper training from her alleged guide in all things rogue-like. She has also taken a liking to Warp and Haste magics, making proper use of them throughout her missions and as well as taking the measure of applying Warp to her throwing knives. However, considering Jack the Ripper’s arsenal has more options at her disposal, she has not only invested much of her time in learning Blizzard, Fire, and Slow magic, but has also taken up sharpshooter training in the form of sniper rifles and hand crossbows. Through this, she has unlocked the ability to transform her keyblade into either long-ranged weapon of her choosing.

Weapon:

Heretic Flare

Daggers

Personality: Morgan has two sides about her. There’s the caring sister that will do anything for her brother or those that she truly cherishes and can have all sorts of fun around comrades. Then, there’s the business side. The side in which all of the warmth and kindness vanishes to give way to a cold, calculating persona that will not cease until either her target is eliminated and/or her mission objective is met in its entirety. Any smile donned within this mode is one of pure, merciless thrill of the hunt.

Fenrir

Code Name: Fenrir; True Name: Rose Mori

Appearance: Rose’s attire consists of a black coat stained red by the countless lives she has been hired to snuff out. She wears a black chain on her person like one would wear a sash, it linked via a wicked hook that rests on her waistline. The left half of her body houses the corruption manifested by the experiments done to her by the Royal Guard. While she has retained her black hair, and honey brown eye on the right side of her face, the left gives way to white hair, a dark, black coloration extending all the way to her forearm, a piercing yellow eye, and this brand on her cheek. The gloves and footwear she has on mimic armored claws.

Bio: Rose lived in the house parallel to the Rain household. As a child, she would always could be seen playing with Morgan and her brother, Asher. However, shortly after her 12th birthday, she contracted a severe case of bronchitis. Being unable to afford the funds it would take to pay for the medication and fearful for their only child’s life, her parents confined Rose to her room, hoping that plenty of rest and minimal contact with the outside world would help matters. Aside from reading books that she was able to request her parents bring for her, Rose spent much of her time resting, and staring out at her bedside window. At times, she would receive baked goods made by Morgan and her family. She would often see them leaving their home as well, waving at them as they would go by.
This process would repeat itself for the next few months until suddenly, she spotted a horse-drawn wagon approach the front of her home. She could hear muffled shouting coming from below her, quickly followed by footsteps ascending the stairwell and pausing at the foot of her door. The door opens, and she is greeted by armed soldiers belonging to the Royal Guard. They explain to her that she’s being taken to the castle to be treated by the medical staff there. Feeling as though she wasn’t going to be able to have a say in the matter, Rose complied, and followed the guards downstairs. On her way out, she saw that her parents had been corralled into the kitchen; two more guards blocking them from her. “We love you! Please be safe…” were the last words she heard from her parents before being escorted outside her home and being moved into the wagon.
Shortly after sticking to their word of curing her illness, they immediately began utilizing her as a test subject with their experiments with the darkness. The only reason she did not choose to refuse in some way was due to them claiming they could make sure that she would never be sick again. For the next five years, the laboratory hidden from the world beneath the grounds of the Royal Guard’s base of operations was her new home. From combat and endurance training, to torturous discipline if she did not meet their expectations for that day, she learned she had to adapt and continue to grow stronger if she ever wished to leave this place, let alone stay alive. Near the end of her fifth year, they asked her to step into a stasis pod for one final test. She complied, hoping that this would put an end to the long madness she had endured. However, she couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Feeling that their test subject was finally sound in both mind and body, they released a large concentrated amount of darkness into the pod, corrupting her very being the moment it makes contact with her. Cries of pain fill the room as this process occurs. However, before a handful of scientists could make substantial progress towards freeing the girl, the noises ceased; causing the entire room to go silent. Then, suddenly, cracks began to form against the protective glass of the pod. Soon enough, the glass fully shatters, darkness billowing out like a gas, enveloping the pod’s side of the room, spawning Heartless left and right. From the pod, a human hand shoots out, gripping its respective side of the pod. The other hand, however, is revealed to be a black, clawed hand, producing more force than the other. Rose leaps out from the pod, landing on all fours, as a brand unknown to the scientists begins to glow, a dark light enveloping her body as she begins to transform into a fierce creature of darkness, letting out a terrifying howl as it begins its onslaught on everything in sight. The commotion comes to a halt as this creature gives one more howl before collapsing and reverting back to Rose. Hearing all of the commotion, a group of infantry come charging down the stairs, unable to comprehend the utter mass destruction that lies before them. Spotting the girl, they take her and transport her to a nearby dungeon, making sure to quarantine her away from the other prisoners by keeping her in a secluded cell, and attempting to keep her existence as secretive as possible.
However, their ignorance of the situation left them underprepared for when she next woke up. Rose, scared, confused, and absurdly hungry, can feel a slight breeze coming from one of the walls of her cell. In an act of pure desperation, she breaks down the wall in her path, escaping to the world outside. Any Heartless, or Royal Guard hunters that attempted to attack her would meet their unfortunate end as she would mostly unwillingly attempt to satisfy her hunger. Soon enough, the Vigilant Shepherds would catch wind of this sudden spur of deaths. Both Mary and Jack, normally too busy with their separate networks, decided to collaborate on this mission. The two make their way to the nearby forest, where the most recent deaths have been said to occur, and they come across Rose. She, very untrusting and scared of what she might do to them, attempts to scare the siblings, wanting them to go away. However, through enough coaxing, the two convince her that they do not wish to do her harm, and in fact, want to help her in any way they can. Seeing that she was more comfortable with Mary, they decide to let her be the head of her training and recuperation, but that Rose was always welcome to get in touch with Jack.
For the next two years, through the siblings’ tutelage and the restructuring of her own will, Rose was able to fully control her ability to transform, and was able to hone the combat skills she already attained from her time in the lab. She was also able to gain her current attire and arsenal of weaponry through her newfound mentors/employers. While she normally reported to them first and foremost, it was not unusual for her to pick up an odd job or two from outside sources...one of these jobs is where her current story begins.

Age: 19

Skills: In her human form, Rose is capable of tracking and stalking her target, allowing her to get the drop on them if need be. However, when good old-fashioned cloak and dagger tricks won’t help her, her newfound power in the brand that she bears allows her to utilize Thunder-based attacks and Magic. Her mark has also granted her abnormal movement speed, a higher bone density; making it rather difficult for someone to break her bones or for her to sustain large amounts of damage, and improved senses overall, making her a hunter through and through. In her alternate form, she is a physical powerhouse. Despite her now large form, she is still quite limber, utilizing her formidable speed and the chains on her forearms to keep up the onslaught on her prey. While she can normally switch between forms of her own free will, if she is unable to find a proper form of sustenance, be they human or otherwise, she will eventually go berserk, forcefully taking on her beastly form, and go on a rampage until either defeated, or is made to calm down in some fashion.

Personality: Considering all of her “experience” with people within the laboratory for several years, to say that Rose is slow to warm up to others would be putting things lightly. While she does comprehend that there are good men out there, such as Jack, she’s generally abrasive towards anyone else, being especially harsh and brutal to those that think they can challenge her and succeed. She takes more kindly to women, adopting a more flustered, yet still slightly abrasive front towards them. Anyone she takes a liking to, she’ll do her best to work with them.

Elise

Elise

take off the dumb hat

"They say that warriors have pride, but no money. I have neither of those."

---

Appearance:
Elise wears a haori-hakama. At the very base, there's a light kimono. The "hakama" is a pants-like garment worn over the kimono. The "haori" is a light coat worn over the kimono. Also, contrary to the picture, she doesn't have double-stranded bangs on the front of her face. She only has a ponytail. This, along with the fact that her chest is as flat as an iron board, leads people to think she's actually a man. However, her short stature (5'7'') and alluring voice easily give her gender away. Other than all of that, the pictures tell you all you need to know. She does always keep her eyes shut.

When she's deep in meditation, she gets so idle that birds begin to perch on her hat. Nothing important, just something cool to note.

Age: Twenty-something

Bio

long ass bio

There was once a land wherein many clans fought against each other for the glory of their ancestors. The spirits of their ancestors would give them guidance and urge them to enter conflict after conflict on their every whim. It was said that, long ago, the ancestors were mere mortals who roamed the world to hone their bodies and seek challenges beyond themselves. When they were to die, their souls would be trained to the point that they would be able to pass on to the realm of the Gods, while still maintaining their consciousness. That way, they would be able to watch over their descendants and people.

Times were changing. The realm of the Gods was shifting away from the realm of Man. While many solitary spirits allowed this to happen, the more ambitious ones rallied their descendants to fight in their honor and spread belief in them, so that they may gain power through faith and reign over the earth. This separated people into clans that fought each other without rest or remorse. The clansmen either trained their bodies or derived power from Phantoms, otherworldly beings without a body, mind, or soul.

Among them was a young woman who was said to be so skilled with the blade that entire armies would fall before her before bearing witness to her face. She could sense a person's intent by reading their eyes and predict their next move without mush effort. She was an elite killer, which is why her clan sought to make extensive use of her. They sent her to fetch a Phantom rumored to be so powerful that the heavens cowered every time he cried, and so she accepted her duty, travelling to the very edge of the land to find him.

She found him stuck in a cursed cabinet. She readied her sword for an impending duel, after all, what cunning spirit didn't show themselves without trying to deceive wanderers into helping them, only to consume the naive fool after their interference? This spirit, however, never stopped begging for help even when she announced that the old tricks of the trickster god would not work on her. With a mighty yank, she freed the young spirit of his misery. Surprisingly, he bowed and uttered two words.

"Thank you."

Those two words sparked something in the young warrior. She had never heard them before, and they, unlike any weapon that had clashed with her sword, had pierced through her. She began killing less and doing more little good deeds that elicited small smiles and snickers from the village folk that had chosen not to be part of the war. Every time she heard those two words, she smiled herself.

The patriarch of her clan didn't like this. He had a grand ambition, one that placed him at the center of the world and everyone else at it's edges. He was a honest man, because unlike most conquerors, he had completely convinced himself that his plans would work. They wouldn't work if one of his best assets were to sway his will. With a swing of his mighty blade, he killed the spirit, and the spirit's latent energy reverberated through the land, alerting his newly-made friend to his fate.

She was sick of being ordered around. If things kept going like this, she would be no more than a mere tool. Her clan's patriarch deserved death for many reasons, but she crossed swords with him only because of this. In what she would describe as her most selfish act, she killed him, leaving his blood to stain the walls of his grand fortress.

She threw away her old name and took on one she had been called by her old friend in the past. Nowadays, Elise wanders around, helping people and being broke as always.

Skills

Magic Skills

Elise comes from a world with its a system of magic that puts foremost a person's body, mind, and soul. The body is one's vessel on the material plane, the soul is one's "body" in the spiritual plane, and the mind holds the body and soul together. In combat, the body manages physical attacks, the soul handles magic, and the mind manages the whole person and either initiates or prevents mental attacks. Each part of a person can be trained and used to enhance the others. A whole lot of techniques can be derived from using one or more than one part of one's being.

• [Soul] Ki Absorption: The most basic part of magic: absorbing ki or magical energy. This can be used to amplify any technique and the user's physical mental strength.
• [Soul] Ki Sensing: This technique allows one to sense ki or any sort of magical energy.
• [Soul] Diameter of Control: Imagine the user at the center of a sphere with a certain diameter. Ki techniques only work within that diameter. The diameter can be made smaller, but can only be expanded through ki absorption. Elise's default diameter is 50 feet.
• [Soul] Basic Ki Control: Elise can manifest and control small amounts of ki. This is enough to move things and stop their movement. She can also lock people in place by applying spiritual pressure to them. However, the ki controlled isn't enough to directly hurt people. Think of it as telekinesis, except it relies on the spirit rather than the mind.
• [Soul] Advanced Ki Control: Elise can apply magical energy to objects, making them tougher. This is especially important among weapon-users. Also, when you throw something out of your diameter of control, the ki violently rushes out of the object, making it explode. You can do things like this with it.
• [Soul] Mastered Ki Control - Omnidirectional Blade: When her sword is enhanced with ki, Elise can change its length and shape.
• [Mind] Tug of Wills:When someone tries to read the Elise's mind, weaken it, or do any strange psychic stuff that affects it negatively, this technique negates the effect of the mental attack and turns the entire thing into a battle of wills. The mental attack will work if the attacker is much more motivated, angry, depraved, or whatever.
• [Mind] Instinct: Freshly borrowed from one of my edgier characters from my early days of roleplaying, this technique allows one to read an opponent's body language, effectively predicting his/her/its next move. However, knowing what the enemy will do next doesn't help at all if the enemy is much faster than you (or very big). Elise can sense enemies using ki, but is prone to sneak attacks by people able to conceal their energy.
• [Body] Impact Shift: This technique allows one to "shift" the direction of physical attacks. For example, you can punch a wall and shift the impact to be more focused on the middle of your fist, making the wall get sliced apart.
• [Soul/Mind] Eyes of the Shimazaki: Elise opens her eyes. The flood of stimuli puts her mind into overdrive, allowing her to use her techniques at least thrice as fast. The immense drain this puts on the body only allows her to do this for about five minutes. She doesn't like using this.

I might add more as the story goes on

Other Skills

• Elise is of course very good at handling a blade. She also excels in hand to hand combat.
• Years of training have made her strong enough to at least dent metal and, with some effort, shatter concrete despite her slender stature. There's an explanation about this but at this point I'm tired of writing about crazy magic stuff.
• She's also an excellent armchair psychologist who is able to tell things about people's motives and pasts by observing their actions and mannerisms. This is a trait left over from her days of being one of her clan's elite.
• She's a decent singer
• She can haggle

Personality
On the surface, Elise is a happy-go-lucky do-gooder who just wants to make friends and have fun. She is amazingly carefree about everything and somewhat dense. Behind that, though, is a former assassin who scrutinizes the actions of people and questions her motives. She rarely trusts anyone and only helps them out of goodwill. In fact, one could say she's a selfish person who does it only for gratification.

If you go even deeper, though, you'll find that she really just wants to make friends and have fun.

Fun Facts

• Yes, this is the same Elise from the run of this RP before this one. I changed her "voice colors" because I needed a lighter color to contrast with the dark background of the site.
• She's essentially a female Kenshin Himura. I am an very bad writer with little to no original ideas.
• I miss Agni
• Talk to me if you have any questions

Merged World

Original World Post:

The Merged World

Once upon a time, there were two worlds. The world of the Gods and the world of Man. Man's collective subconscious sculpted the Gods from the immense spiritual energy in the other world, and in return, the Gods guided Man and kept them at peace. However, the two world have begun to move apart, and the Gods began to revert into raw spiritual energy while Man plunged itself into war and violence.

(Astus' profile explained the world even better than this. Check it out.)

Great Powers

• Divine Sanctuary: A huge organization dedicated to serving the Gods. As the Gods grew more distant, the organization began to get filled with greedy diplomats and abusive soldiers both hungering for power and luxury. They wage war a lot, since they want to "rebuild the world in the image of the Gods", but everyone knows it's because they just want more influence. Also, they never really did that back then.
• Enlightenment's Reach: A group of countries wherein the world's Enlightenment grew. They used to be a bunch of wimps pushed aside by barbarians until they they uncovered the "knowledge of the ancients" and made the growth of science, technology, and philosophy rapid. They and their huge Magitek-powered armies (they discovered a metal that could contain magical energy and named it Phlebotinum) keep the Sanctuary from taking over the world. They're really classy.
• Freedom's Abode: This world's America. Through trade and innovation, what was once a bunch of run-down colonies run by former Enlightenment's Reach residents became a major world power.
• People's Domain: Freedom's Abode but communist. They thrive on an odd mixture of traditionalism and socialism. People there are happier but poorer.
• The Eastern Lands: A bunch of clans and territories united by their own distinct culture. Once a proud and mighty quasi-civilization, they failed to catch up with industrialism early and are now an anachronistic mess. Everyone goes here for vacation.

Overall Technology Level: Futuristic, due to Magitek. Certain metals and magic inscriptions harness magical energy to work, and so they run on it rather than oil or electricity. Cars have been replaced by flying polygon-shaped aircraft that are as accessible as cars. In fact, entire floating islands that carry countries and run on magical energy exist. However, technology's spread is erratic at best, and people in People's Domain, the Eastern Lands, and other far-off places don't have much access to it.

that one part from my old character's bio

Once upon a time, there were two worlds, interconnected yet separated. One world was nothing but a mass of spiritual energy, while the other one was a newly-formed Earth, reeking of lava and stone and absolutely no life at all.

Time passed by, and life came into existence. Evolution did its thing until beings capable of observing and understanding the world around them came to be.

They were the first humans.

These humans felt the need to explain all that happened around them, find meaning in their lives, and survive. They began to create tales, stories and epics of Gods and heroes triumphing over evil and shaping the world into what it was. With that, Gods arose from the other world. The pure spiritual energy took shape into what humans perceived them to be, and Gods and humans lived in harmony, with Gods using their power to guide and protect humans and humans subconsciously willing them into existence.

There were the Gods of Heaven, the Gods of Earth, the Gods of the Seas and Oceans, the Gods of Death, Life, Calamity, and Prosperity. However, some humans became entitled and sleazy, and decided that they could blame the Gods for every single minor thing that inconvenienced them.

Thus, Astus was born. He was the God of Trickery, Deceit, and Misfortune.

Astus first took joy in tormenting other people. It was his only purpose in life. There was this one time when a group of heroes were travelling to the center of the earth when a giant dragon appeared out of the ground, making them wet the skirts of their armor. That dragon was Astus. He also ruined people's weddings by causing people's pants to fall off for a wild variety of reasons.

As the minds of these humans developed, they began to seek personality and individuality in each of their deities. Each God became more human and formed relationships with each other. That's when Astus realized that he was inadequate, that no other God would notice him because he was created just to be blamed.

Soon, for some reason, the two worlds began to move apart. This caused the gods to revert into pure masses of spiritual energy. The first one to go was Raeda, the God of Carriage Riding. Humans were beginning to build automobiles, so he became pretty much useless. Astus didn't like that, because both of them were good friends because the other Gods didn't mind both of them.

More and more Gods disappeared and without the Gods' guidance, humans waged wars with one another and everything went to hell. Some Gods tried to keep their power, others resigned to their fates and just moped around. Astus, however, found his true calling in life and decided to investigate the reason behind the separation of the worlds. He took the form of a cat and used what little power he had left to jump right into the other world.

Notes: Everything Elise has done at the start of the story happens before the Sanctuary invades the Eastern Lands and her meeting of Yuuta. We could make that a plot point if you will.
