Avelyn:

Exceptional Streetsmarts: She's not educated, but not stupid either. She can read the street better than many, and her gut is generally right when something feels off about a person, especially when used in tandem with Mind Bridge.

Exceptional Stamina: She doesn't punch the hardest, run the fastest or lifts the most, but she's found out that the people who do those things usually can't keep it up for too long. When she doesn't have the luxury of quickly downing an opponent with magic, she'll resort to tiring them out, biding her time until they make a mistake.

Exceptional Stealth: Thievery laid good foundations for being unseen, upon which she built during the war, often required to go unseen. She also has a habit of keeping to the sides, where there's less foreign thoughs assaulting her mind, so it's easy for people to assume she's gone off to do just that.

Exceptional Agility: Avelyn has a good deal of dexterity from stealing, further helped by her acquired ambidexterity, agility from quickly navigating various environments and, being primarily a close-quarters combatant when magic fails, quick reflexes from fighting.

Finbarr's Bonuses

1. Exceptional Unarmed Combat: Finbarr's magic is geared towards infiltration and hit-and-run, and most of the time, there isn't enough time to draw his two blades once he exits a portal. As such, he is also highly adept at martial arts as taught during training, employing a mixture of judo, Krav Maga, Kong Fu, karate, and muai thai.

2. Exceptional Reflexes: While not particularly strong or durable, Finbarr makes up with having quick reflexes. He is able to react to external stimuli much faster than most, though this is limited to things that he is able to see as incoming, as the Rau've that captured him already had its hand ready in front of the portal.

3. Exceptional Patience: Finbarr has an extremely high amount of patience, whether if it's dealing with annoying toddlers or waiting for an enemy to pass through an area. This augments his shapeshifting magic as he could wait for literal hours in rat form and not snitch a tiny bit about it.

4. Exceptional Marksmanship: He is very accurate with aiming ranged weapons, whether it his Energy Blast spell or the Plasma Pistol he carries around.

All right, here’s my app!

Ariel

Name: Ariel Sin
Age: 15
Physical Description:

Hider

Important items:
Backpack - Its plain white design is bereft of aesthetics and most ergonomic features, but thoroughly protects the contents of its numerous compartments from heat, water, electromagnetic fields, and all manner of potential hazards. A biometric lock secures its contents from theft.

Stunner - A less-lethal electroshock weapon that transmits electricity to its target by ionising air into conductive plasma, incapacitating them for as long as the trigger is held down. Ineffective in vacuums except at point-blank range, and against Kaisoken and Tayanen. As a smart weapon with Ariel being the only authorised user, anyone else trying to use it will just get a shock and a loud alarm for their troubles.

Baton - A lightweight expanding model, inconspicuously pocket-sized when collapsed and half a metre long at its most extended. Equipped with electrodes for stun capability.

Omni-tool - Far too indispensable a tool to go without in 25th century society.

Wallet - A slim box-like container, containing cash, bank cards, stored-value credit sticks, various forms of identification, and the occasional miscellaneous trinket. Currently holds a total of two hundred Galactic Credits in hard currency, and double that amount on prepaid sticks. A biometric lock secures its contents from theft.

Medkit - The advanced nanomachines and pharmaceuticals contained within allow for the basic treatment of all manner of injuries and ailments, even without training.

Short Bio:
Ariel’s parents are called Indra and Elia. They both work as researchers, at the Earth–Moon L₄ University and a company called Aion respectively. She is the younger of two children, with a sister six years her senior.

It is a parent’s duty to seek the best for their children: and so, before Ariel was even conceived, her parents underwent rigorous cutting-edge therapies and procedures to ensure that she would receive the best that her parents could offer. She would not be ‘perfect’ — that was a subjective term loaded with undue expectations for a child, and to speak in such absolutes would be haughty — but ‘the best she could be’, in mind, body, and spirit. This meant nanomedicine, genetic engineering, nootropics in safe and moderated doses, optimised dietary intake, and more.

Aware of the equal importance of “nurture” in raising a child, they gave her their utmost love and affection, in a well-tailored yet dynamic environment that still allowed her the freedom to socialise and explore. Ariel was allowed to roam and interact with whoever she pleased in school — after all, the best pedagogy had been employed to educate her on the most effective methods to handle social situations, backed by current evidence.

Ariel’s life was one of privilege and opportunity in every facet. An ideal childhood, with a family who always did their best so that their youngest daughter could do the same. Unsurprisingly identified as ‘gifted’ from a young age, Ariel was put in advanced classes, then accelerated to an early graduation. She was well-adjusted and formed strong, lasting social connections, much to her family’s pleasure; she was physically in the peak of health, and kept fit through regular exercise and a good diet. But before long, government agents came down to her home. At thirteen, she was injected with Kaisoken dust, and entered the armed forces of the Ascendancy of Man.

Ariel never lasted very long in whatever unit she was assigned to — or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the units she was assigned to never lasted very long. Time and time again, she watched as the boys and girls who she had only just gotten to know died. Sometimes the child soldiers were slowly whittled off, one by one. More often than not it was a single, swift action that annihilated the unit whole — save for Ariel. And even when her fellow children did survive, she was always transferred out of the lucky unit swiftly, as if some administrative clerk had nothing better to do but try and cause her misery. Would it be more accurate to call her Fortune’s favourite, or Fortune’s fool?

That same fortune spared Ariel from sharing the grim fate of many at Proxima Centauri, as she happened to be out of action and missed the decisive battle. Under the terms of the peace treaty, she was handed over to the Rau’ve — and found out first-hand just how genuinely pleasant their ‘prison camps’ were. After release, she contemplated returning home for a while, but eventually set out to join this so-called rebel network, Moonstrike. After all, what child soldier wouldn’t hate the Ascendancy after what they had done? It was around this time that she ran across Ashton’s group of like-minded child soldiers and joined up with them.

Looks like the Ascendancy is in for a whole new war.

Spell List:
Séance (Underworld): Ariel may call upon a recently departed soul. While the soul is capable of perceiving the world as it would have in life, it cannot be perceived or interacted with in any manner by any person or object save Ariel, and even she is only capable of conversation with the soul. Communication occurs telepathically, and does not require audible speech.

Mind Trick (Mind): By making direct eye contact (no sunglasses or helmets) with someone, Ariel can give a simple command to a person, resisted by their willpower. If successful, the target carry out the suggestion as if they had always intended to do so, and will not notice anything strange about doing so.

Exceptional Skill List:
Exceptional Empathy x2
Exceptional Speech x2

Abaddon's extra exceptional skills

Exceptional Strength ranked up 1 to 2: Abaddon's hunting and crusades against his own race has gifted him with incredible strength.

Exceptional Endurance ranked up 1 to 2: Abaddon body has adjusted to his life of conflict, growing harder and harder across the millenniums.

Exceptional Combat Prowess ranked up 1 to 2: Abaddon had long enjoyed battle and killing. He had trained his mind, body, and soul for combat.

Exceptional Spell Resistance: Another weird adaption Abaddon's body has made in his pursuits, Spell Resistance. By constantly warring with Kaisokens, Abaddon's body has begun to resist the effects of harmful spells.

Iris's extra exceptional skills

Exceptional Hand-to-Hand ranked up 1 to 2: Iris natural athleticism and proficiency for martial arts have been accentuated by war

Exceptional Athletics: A natural gift Iris had been gifted with from birth

Exceptional Strength: Although small, Iris's muscles have been honed to create forces much greater then what could even be possible accounting for her size.

Exceptional Comforter: Although war had definitely left scars on Iris, it had also taught her how to comfort those in panic. This was specifically useful for her brother Samuel who developed anger issues through the war.

@dragonpiece

Exceptional Spell Resistance can be folded into Endurance. Everything else is accepted.

Made a cosmetic edit to the OOC Opening Post!

[FalloutJack]

I'm actually gonna let a GM ruling determine if there's anything specific for Nero in the weapon shop.

@Letter Bee I don't need to know absolutely everything that's in the shop, just a general idea of what he could spend on, and I'll be fine to say what was up in my next post.

We've reached 88 posts overall!

Edit: Well, now 89.

[Jade Kiyo]

I might be interested, though I have an unpredictable schedule and I am more used to discord rp

[Th3King0fChaos]

Hey whatever fits with your schedule, just make sure to inform us when you are able and not able to post and it should be all good.

Also for the whole discord Rp stuff, we can talk about it in the discord chat and see if Bee is okay with setting up a little place to do so for some of the later stuff. I just assume there will be points that will have to be done on the guild, but we can always cross that bridge when we get there.
