Name: Andre Jackson
Appearance: Medium height, tanned, blond, green eyes.
Bio: *grumbles*
Branch: Intelligence

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Shadow

Weapons/Spells:

* Crossbow: A black colored crossbow.

Active

Splinter Bolt: The bolt shot from this would splinter to smaller pieces in a shotgun like manner, covering larger area and hitting more people. Can splinter up to POW pieces. CD = 4

* Rogue Knife: A thick bladed knife, sharp enough to cut things and strong enough to break lock.

Active

Bishopbane: A virulent poison coating the reduces stat of its victim upon activation. The coating last for 3 turns. Anyone with 2+ POW than Andre is capable of shrugging the effect, anyone with equal( and +1) POW has 50% chance of shrugging it off. Affected target would a) if POW is equal or +1 than Andre's: lose 1 random point of stat each turn b) lower POW, lose 2 random points of stat each turn (random, it could be 1 pow and 1 SPI instead of 2 SPI, but either way can happen). After losing last point in a stat, would start to receive damage. Poison last long enough that leaving it alone is not an option, go find a medical attention. CD: 5(counts after coating wear off)

* Smeartear gas jar: A prototypical gas grenade with two mode. One mode produce a thick smoke screen, the other produce tear gas (which require POW/SPI roll safe to test if you immediately start crying and rolling on the floor or just feel a mild sting)

Arlette

Name: Arlette Langfeldt

Appearance + Personality: Soft-spoken and naive 16 year old girl. She's short at 156 cm. She has a fair and smooth skin and a slim body and build thanks to her upbringing where she mostly kept to the books. Her brown hair reached a little below her neck and he eyes are dark brown colored. Most people consider her cute not only because her manner but also her lack of feminine curves.

Bio: Arlette had a normal, if somewhat sheltered, life one could expect from people living near the Library Hub. The only thing that marked her life different was the various sighting of herself she saw other than in the mirror as she grew. It was not until her 15th birthday she finally managed to realize that the cause was what she ended up calling her 'Guardian Twin.' She kept her twin a secret from her family and enjoyed the few company she had and the thrill from seeing her 'twin' did something she otherwise won't do. Although some of the actions did were not to her agreement.

However, due to her apparent erratic behavior and the 'ghost' sightings, among other thing, her family called the experts to help with the situation. Although it was not until several complaints of similar nature coming from near vicinity that the Library begun to investigate. After some 'resistance,' the Librarians assigned for it caught the 'twins' red-handed during one of their planning before being sent to the Library for questioning, which shocked Arlette and her family. The latter even more so since they knew there was no twin. The Library soon realized the spirit nature of one of the twins. It didn't take long for them to convince the Holder and ask her parent allowance to join the Library by promising her to pay for her tuition and several other payment.
Branch: Administration (What she was told)
Holder:Knight
Spirit: A Doppelgänger called Mime. A capricious spirit that while will remain silent in its default form, a white-faced man in black clothes and a cap that loosely resemble its namesake, communicating with hand gestures and facial expression, it'll act in exaggerated manner while in disguise, mostly in an attempt to irritate the copied victim or it acted in character. Somewhat mirroring its holder nature, or due to said holder nagging, the spirit does care to not cause too much trouble and thus limited itself with actions that would not cause permanent physical damage or something that cannot be redeemed. Unlike Arlette, however, Mime's not naive and can hold a grudge, going out of its way to cause as much trouble as it could to someone that wronged either or both of them.
For an unknown reason, Arlette is unable to dismiss Mime, who, most of the time, copied the form of its holder. Mime is capable of an extraordinary independence action, proven by its ability to cover a large distance between it and Arlette before being dismissed and summoned back to her side. Current range record: two miles.

Weapons/Spells:
Mimic Form: Mime can copies the outer appearance, down to the voice if the target had spoken, and down to any markings (scars, tattoo, etc.) if it were to touch. It can opt to replace one of its stats with one of the target for the duration of the form. Changing form (even back to default) and desummoning will reset the stat back to normal. Disability and disease will never be copied, although Mime will know about it. Mime cannot change stats without changing form, yet.

Active

False Identity: Mime can now alter the appearance of others as well as his own by touch. The ability can be applied to everyone but should it be applied to conscious people, the target would have to contest their (POW+SPI)*0.9 against Mime's POW+SPI (Due to the feeling of being changed into someone else is uncomfortable). He can only change the appearance but not the stats. CD is 3 and last as long as Mime doesn't get dismissed or he wanted it to end. Mimic Form shares the CD of this skill.

Outcome:
- If Mime's total is much higher than his target (>3 higher), he can then alter his target as he pleases instantaneously as if its his own body. Limited only by his own limitation and must retain basic form of the transformed. Human must be human (arguably monkey), dog must be dog (can be wolves), cat must be cat (can be tiger).
- The total are equal (anywhere between 2 higher and 2 lower), they effectively swapped appearance. (Including things attached to the body but not things in them)
- Mime has lower total (>3 lower), they swap appearance but the progress is slow and can be interrupted.
Willing target would have the result knocked up by one. Example, Someone has 12 POW+SPI and Mime has 8, if the target's conscious and willing, then the two would swap appearance. If the target's not, then it would be slow. Someone willing with 9 and Mime 8, can be altered as Mime pleases. Unconscious target would never be able to resist.

Mimic Memory: Mime can copies the memory of somebody else (including animals, but mostly human), complete to habit and mannerism should it decide to act in character. It copies by sticking its forehead (assuming both are human or is human looking) to the target. The ability copies from the recent memory backwards up to half a day and could take seconds to minutes. (It's not strictly has to be forehead as long as it's a part of the face.)

Active

False Memory: A reverse version of Mimic Memory. Instead of drawing memory, Mime would impress a single memory, either his own or someone's memory that he copied earlier, to his target. The person receiving it would wholeheartedly believe that the memory is his/her own even if the memory is contradictory. Mime's SPI must be able to overcome his target's SPI/2. Unless the target's a Bishop, in which case, he'll have to overcome 0.75*SPI. CD 3.

Mimic Abilities: Copies the ability of a target. Only one ability at a time and it uses Mimic's own stat at that moment (including copied stat). Cannot copy ability in a post directly after copying the skill. Mime can only grasp basic knowledge of the copied ability without observing first hand or copied memory of the owner.

Active

Copycat: Should the copied ability has an active ability, Mime can now use it using his own stat. CD would be the copied ability's CD+1. While Mime can change the copied ability even after using this skill, the CD persist.

Vignar

Name: Vignar.Ghunpervist.
Appearance: Tall, thin, tired look with bag under the eyes. Brown-gray-ish hair kept on short ponytail. Woolen clothes.
Bio: -Later- (Ugh, I have to rework this too?)
Branch: Mercenary only (for story purpose)
Holder: Bishop
Spirit: Dovahkiin. Mostly humanoid, lizard claw for left arm, booming voice.

Weapons/Spells:
*Fire breath: Let go a stream of fire from mouth. AGI determine range (in meters!), 20% POW for duration and SPI for strength.

Active

Storm Call: Summon a magical storm that rains lightning and thunder (along with wind and water?) to those Vignar consider as hostile/foe. 20% AGI for AoE (in miles radius), SPI for duration (in posts) and cooldown and POW for strength. The lightning are magical and wouldn't be circumvented by mundane means. Using this while there're hostile in-door would end up with a possibly charred opponent and a certainly burning building.

*Summon Ghosts: Call the ghosts of dead people/holders/players to assist in fight. The ghosts will only stay for the duration of the fight and while they could comment on their current situation, communication is hard to do as only Vignar's words can reach their ears clearly, attempts from other people would result in the ghosts hearing static, unclear or gibberish messages. Also subjects to GM discretion and clouded memories. Vignar can only call weaker spirit, any attempt to call stronger ghosts would penalize him, same applies to trying to call a large number of ghosts. Strong ghosts=those with total stat sum equal to current character creation stat points.

Active

Call Dragon Summon a spectral ancient dragon to the vicinity. The dragon stat is Vignar stat ^2(just kidding) Vignar stat * 2. Summoning the dragon would result in either the dragon agreeing to help or rampaging in a tantrum over being called for trivial matter unlike the rampage of the mother dragon in the dune mission. (CD = 1 mission)
{Dragon abilities:
Fire Breath: Can do it in a conical area in a single burst or a constant stream. POW for duration, (POW + SPI)*80% [90%?] for strength, AGI for range.
Hurricane: Breath out a gust of wind that pummel those caught in it and propel them to the sky. POW for damage, SPI for how high launch, AGI for range.
One other that I forgot, I'm now pretty sure it's another breath attack.
and flight}

*Warrior Call: Boost the stat of those Vignar consider as allies by 20% of his stat. so POW got 20% of his POW, SPI got 20% of his SPI.

Sigmund

Name: Sigmund Baston
Appearance: A tall, buff, but above all rugged man in his forties with scars to prove he's been working in the mercenary section for far too long. Sigmund wears a scar all across his left cheek to his nasal wing, a small one on his right cheek (shaving accident,) one from an inch below his left shoulder towards the middle of his chest, two horizontal scars on his back just above the hip and one on his right arm from his elbow until halfway his lower arm. The rest of his skin is either sun-kissed or sun-burnt, with a few ploys to spare. He dons a thinning bush of light brown hair with a beard to match.

Sigmund is most commonly seen donning a ragged cape, tall boots and the most plain vests and pantaloons known to humankind. He doesn't think a few tears and holes make any piece of clothing bad, so sometimes he's not the first man to make contact with an employer for being hard to discern from an alcoholic vagrant.

Bio: From the day he could wield a weapon, the blade had been Sigmund's career. Not a particularly noble career, for he spent the first five years of that career as a bandit and cutthroat. At least, until the Library got involved. His clan was either slaughtered or brought in to the authorities. Sigmund managed to escape the battlefield guillotine, but was promised he would spend half his life rotting in prison to pay for his actions, and he would have done so, hadn't he developed from a fourteen year old no-future to a rook during his time.

Intrigued by the sudden arisal of Sigmund's holder talents that came overnight for his eighteenth birtday (and turned prison life upside down,) the Library bribed to shorten his time if he'd allow studies on his body. Although Sigmund had great joy in turning the foodchain in his cage around for two days, he accepted the proposal. During this time, Sigmund desperately looked for a chance to stay out of prison. He found that chance in a young researcher by the name of Annabelle. Using his (admittedly lacking) romancing skills by advice from his spirit, he got her to convince her superiors more time was needed to study Sigmund's symptoms.

The excuses became more odd and extravagant every time, until Sigmund even joined up with a mercenary mission. That life suited Sigmund and so he fought as hard as he could to prove himself to be a worthy asset to the Library, came clean to Annabelle that he no longer considered running away with her, and after a few more trial runs and officially being recognized as a Librarian, Sigmund broke the girl's heart... But not before blessing her with the parting gift of twin sons...

Branch: Mercenary

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Medusa, a once beautiful woman turned into a hideous Gorgon. While she can rage like an animal she retains some 'human' touches, which remind more of the Goddess that cursed her than the kind girl she once was. Medusa is vain, jealous and perhaps set on breaking women the way Athena broke her.

Weapons/Spells:
[*] Iron Viper: A hookshot that can latch onto anything. The hook is the head of a snake with retractable teeth and a jaw-mechanism. It can be shot in a straight line or swung like a chain. The Viper is not a heavy weapon and better suited to catching and binding than actual killing...
{Active}: Lovebite ...Unless of course Lovebite is activated. Certainly the impact won't be fatal, but for as long as the Iron Viper is latched onto someone (or something) and the sum of the victim's POW and SPI is lower than Sigmund's, it will fight on Sigmund's behalf. However, because this is some sort of chemically induced trance, Sigmund has no actual control over his drugged slaves. If let go the effect will last for one more post. Cooldown: 4 posts.
[*] Gorgon Eye: A large hoplon shield that looks like it's made entirely out of glass. Weren't it for it's bronze canvas and the giant eye residing in it... The eye allows Sigmund to see even if his line of sight is blocked by the shield. Additionally, when used Sigmund's defence against magical attacks becomes (0.3*SPI)+(0.7*POW.)
{Active}: Glare The shield tries really hard to catch an opponent's eye. If Sigmund's POW is 3 or more points higher than the target's highest stat, they will be petrified and turned to stone upon making eye-contact with the shield. The effect will last for 3 posts. Cooldown: 7 posts.
[*] Serpent Tongue: A red, short spear with a double-sided blade that can be used to stab, cut or be thrown for a short distance. It is just as powerful as you'd expect a rook's weapon to be.
{Active}: Paramour Any attack may leave behind an ethereal barbed wire, extending and binding depending on the location and size of the wound. Although it can be broken if the target has at least half of Sigmund's POW, it might feel quite nasty to do so... Cooldown: 3 posts.

Eowyn

Name: Eowyn Ryder Rohann
Appearance: A short woman, standing 5'5 feet high with a fit physique and slender frame. Eowyn has would-be shoulder-length, but curly, blonde hair she keeps in braids to keep it from falling in front of her eyes. Eowyn is a little on the pale side, and has tiny freckles on her face and shoulders. She dresses conservatively, often in white or blue garments. This makes people believe she is already in her thirties, while she is in fact barely twenty-five.
Bio: Eowyn only recently discovered her powers as a holder. For most of her life she had been a pawn without realising it... Except that for her frail physique she was surprisingly good at arm-wrestling and a great runner. One day this all vanished and Eowyn began speaking of conversations with a horse in her mind; everyone thought her to be gravely ill. When the Library's medical staff was consulted, they diagnosed Eowyn as a holder!

Eowyn accepted a position in the mercenary brand and was trained quickly. She left behind a job as a teacher, which saddens her. However as much as she loved her children, the pay was not enough to support herself and her mother; a widow of a lower-class worker who had never enjoyed proper education herself. 

Both in missions Eowyn is a responsible individual. Perhaps a little too responsible. She is kind, calm and sympathetic, which sometimes pushes her own feelings and problems to the background. Eowyn works hard not to be pushed around as much as she used to, but still feels a desire to be liked by everyone. She has a lot of respect for anyone who is good at dealing with the mess that is the mercenary branch's daily routine.
Branch: Mercenary

Holder:  Knight
Spirit:  Sleipnir is a horse composed completely out rocks and boulders and veins of lava stolling between them acting as a glue (it's not nearly as hot though.) It is a very proud and honourable horse, albeit also arrogant and gullible. Sleipnir likes to use difficult words, even when the situation doesn't call for it. Especially if the situation doesn't call for it. 

Weapons/Spells:
[*] Mold: Eowyn fuses with Sleipnir to become a centaur; combing their powers (with Eowyn's meagre 1/1/1) and heating up their body, becoming more painful to touch the higher their POW-rating becomes. However, getting beaten will affect both parties. If Sleipnir is forced to dematerailise; Eowyn is left severely weakened without superhuman stats to protect her in any way. They also need to be in contact in order to fuse.
{Active} Odin's Vessel: Eowyn goes berserk. Her stats multiply by 1.25 and she becomes immune to pain and spells that target her mind. However, she is unable to leave this state before it's duration's end unless she is restrained or all targets in direct vicinity are eliminated. Odin's Vessel lasts for 3 turns and afterwards has a cooldown of 5 posts, for which the first 3 have a stat penalty of 0.85 multiplier.
[*] Stonetooth Sword: A massive claymore that is very heavy and produces a lot of heat. It's not very sharp per say, but the heat makes it cut much more smoothly. It loses power against already hot targets and material that heats up very slowly. It requires 4 POW to lift and use. Sleipnir can use it with it's mouth when it gains 4 POW; but it obviously becomes less effective.
{Active} Surtr's Wake: Eowyn plants her stone in the ground below her and causes an eruption of fire and lava to come forth from below the surface. It's formula is POW*1.5, but Eowyn cannot move during the skill. She must remain stationary for one post to pull the sword from the earth. Failing to do so means losing her sword until the end of battle. There is a cooldown of five posts.
[*] Mosaic Burst: Sleipnir and Eowyn (if molded)... Explode! They leave a thick cloud of ash and poisonous gasses where they explode. Then, within a range of vision they reform into the centaur or both entities seperately, but they are vulnerable during this period. It's essentially a short-ranged teleport.
{Active} Eight Hooves: Rather than exploding; this is an instant teleport without recovery time. It has a five post cooldown and can only be used to move in a direct line in front of the user.

Lux

Name: Lux Turrez
Appearance: A fairly muscular guy with a near constant grin. Lux is a good 5'9 tall, has blonde, spiky hair (long live electric powers; seriously he uses his spirit to style it like that) green eyes and a good tan. Lux wears comfortable clothing above all, but absolutely adores his longcoat and boots.
Bio: Laid back, that's the best way to describe Lux. He enjoys making puns and taunts (Lux suffers from the spiderman-syndrome) and one of the greatest mysteries the Library still has not have conclusive results on is how Lux would look if he stopped smiling. Lux is easy to approach (he'll probably approach you) and trustworthy, but inept to shut off his jester-attitude even when the situation calls for a more serious approach. That and he can be arrogant and overconfident.

Lux started working for the Library as the kid passing around flyers, but over the years worked up his way to an actual position in Recruitment which he now practices part time. Having seen much potential in Lux, the Library decided to honour him with the injection of mana into his body. Engineered into a Bishop, Lux now works in both Recruitment and Mercenary branches.

Branch: Mercenary, Recruitment

Holder: Bishop
Spirit: Koko the cloud cat. Koko is made up entirely out of clouds, which change depending on her mood. From white and puffy when she's calm and content or sleepy, to dark and charged with electricity when she gets riled up. Koko is a generally lazy, cynical sidekick who enjoys her inability to have impact on the material world by making snide remarks from the sideline.

Weapons/Spells:
[*] Thunder Spear: The signature spell. Zap forges a bolt of lightning in the shape of a spear. This bolt can be used to stab or throw and will give a taste of electrocution to the opponent if it hits, but only counts as a single attack.
{Active} Lightning Flare: Thunderspear becomes akin a flash grenade. Upon impact or detonation, it flashes with a blinding light. This skill has a cooldown of four posts.
[*] [i]Greenhouse: Creates a dome made out of steamy hot clouds, making a localised area very hot and wet (inducing fatigue, melting ice, etc.) However it affects everyone inside of it. A dome can be up to the size of an average modern house and only one dome can be out at a time.
{Active} Biosphere: Increases the density of the greenhouse spell until it becomes actual water. What remains is a floating sphere of approximately a diameter of two meters. The sphere cannot be escaped unless the target's POW or SPI is equal to or higher than Lux' SPI. The greater the difference, the shorter it will take to escape. The formula is 3/difference in minutes. The size of the sphere can be manipulated, but the same multiplier will apply to the target's resistance. The sphere automatically purges the target from both buffs and debuffs indiscriminately and does not drown it's target. After biosphere is dispelled or escaped, it puts cooldown of three posts on the entire greenhouse spell.
[*] Frost Mist: Creates a small, wet area in which everything is slowed down tremendously; from energies to movements because inside the Frost Mist it is really, really cold. Although not an offensive spell per sé, someone who stays inside of it for longer than a few seconds will experience hoarfrost and a severely lowered body temperature. A maximum of five mists can be out at a time and they have a diameter of two meters (6.56167979 feet)
{Active} Ice Mirror: The frost mist becomes a solid mirror of ice. It loses it's slowing effect and can be destroyed, but reflects any magic cast at it, up to 125% of Lux' SPI. If the caster's SPI is higher; the mirror will be damaged and the reflection imperfect. The mirror's defence is Lux' (SPI+POW)/2 for physical attacks, and plainly Lux' SPI for magical attacks. Mirrors last for AGI/2 posts.

Name: Mari Kuroi
Appearance:

Image

Just ignore the camera if those aren’t present.

Bio: Lonely, but calm and collected. Mari was mostly alone since she was very young. Still she had a high interest in the journalism business. She tried being an investigative journalist, however she didn’t make nearly enough money that way. So she decided to get a job at the Library, putting her Intelligence gathering abilities to use in another way.
Branch: Intelligence

Holder: Knight
Spirit: Her spirit is Sakura, a shrine maiden that rarely talks at all. She and Mari don’t talk at all outside missions, within missions Sakura operates semi-independently while Mari stands back. Because of this nobody really knows what is she really like.

Her eyes are quite an average brown.
She wears a traditional red-white shrine maiden outfit.

Salia Kyrie

Name: Salia Kyrie

Appearance: She is 19 years old. Stands at 166cm tall, weighs 54kg, and has a slim build. She's fragile-looking but healthy. She has some curves without being exuberant. She has very light brown wavy hair, down her mid back, and turquoise-colored eyes. Tends to wear fancy clothes. Her voice is high-pitched, without being squeaky. It is beautiful and rather smooth.



Bio: Born in a family with a fair amount of money, although far from being rich, Salia has lived a comfortable life. She was usually able to obtain what she wanted, but still learned that nothing in life comes without effort. She therefore has a certain personality conflict, tending to be spoiled sometimes, but still acknowledging the efforts of those who fight for what they want, as well as her own efforts. She is the older of two siblings, her sister being only 16, and lived with her parents until her mother passed away due to an illness when she was 17. At that point, Salia, her sister and her father moved with other members of the family and they lived there from that moment onwards. A year after that, Salia's father, never having overcome the disappearance of his wife, succumbed to an illness as well, and at that point, Salia decided to change her life and find a good job that would help her live on her own. It was during that time that she first communicated with her Spirit, which gave her comfort in those dark times by sharing his moral code with her. Seeing she was a holder of a Spirit that shared her view of her world was a reason to rejoice. However, upon being seen talking on her own on the street, she was abducted by the Library, which afterwards forced her to join their ranks. Seeing that as the only viable option, Salia decided to join them instead of resisting and suffering a fate worse than death. After joining the Library, her intelligence was recognised and she was assigned to the branch of the same name, as well as the Mercenary section.

Branch: Mercenary - Intelligence

Holder: Rook (was born as a holder).
Spirit: Arthur Pendragon. The righteous noble king of knights from another world. Has a strict moral code and believes in loyalty and leading a virtuous life. Respects any opponent's skills, and accepts his position as Salia's spirit as a knight's duty that he has to fulfill.

Weapons:
* EXCALIBUR: King Arthur Pendragon's legendary sword, the Excalibur shines with light, blinding the darkest creatures in the land. It is the fabled sword that took the King of Britain to the victory in countless occasions, thanks to its sharpness, light weight and material quality. Only Salia can use it.
[Active: Sylph Blade
Expands on Excalibur: Salia's AGI multiplies by 1.25 and through the blessings of a sylph, the air surrounding the sword sharpens. This way, her sword gains the ability to cut a lot easier and remove air resistance when swinging the weapon. Therefore, the movement of her sword is slightly faster, even. These effects last for 4 turns, during which Salia can only use her sword. Cooldown is 5 turns.]

* NIMUE'S SCABBARD: This scabbard was given to Arthur by Nimue, The Lady of the Lake. The Scabbard, accompanying Excalibur, is said to have powers of its own. Originally, it would prevent the user from losing blood when wound. Now it can return some spells due to its prevalent magic.
[Active: Full Release
Expands on Nimue’s Scabbard: For the duration of the skill, Salia’s cuts won’t bleed. Of course, any crushing damage will still be a potential danger, as well as ripping, etc. For her to be able to use the Full Release on Nimue’s Scabbard, Salia needs to have used the scabbard at least once to dispel or return a spell. The duration of the skill will depend on how many uses she has on the scabbard -how much magic it has ‘stored’-, at a rate of 1 enemy turn per usage. Cooldown is 5 turns.]

* RHONGOMYNIAD: The spear Arthur used multiple times. It was bathed in poison so many times that its blade can poison the enemy.
[Active: Toxic Transference
Expands on Rhongomyniad: Through this skill, Salia can transfer whichever type of poison is affecting her at the moment to the foe, effectively healing herself and poisoning the enemy. POW multiplies by 1.25 for 4 turns or until the attack connects. Cooldown is 5 turns. Note: the Toxic Transference only applies to poison or similar.]

Remia Kyrie

Name: Remia Kyrie

Appearance: She is 16 years old. Stands at 164cm tall, weighs 52kg, and has a slim build. She's relatively fragile-looking, but not as much as her sister. Her hair is blond and goes down her neck. Her eyes are of a very light blue color; so light that her blue-turquoise colored eyes tend to go unnoticed, as the color is not intense at all. The main trait of her eyes is that they are the polar opposite to dark eyes. She usually wears fancy clothes. Her voice pitch is a bit lower than her sister's.


Bio: Born in a family with a fair amount of money, although far from being rich, Remia lived a comfortable life. She was usually able to obtain what she wanted, and unlike her sister, she generally didn't understand that things in life come with effort. She can still work hard for her goals, but will complain for that. She can be extremely demanding, because she's self-centered, but she is nonetheless a good person who will do almost whatever it takes for her friends... but not as much as she will for her sister. She is the youngest of two siblings, her sister being 19, and lived with her parents until her mother passed away due to an illness when she was 14. At that point, Remia and her sister moved with other members of the family and they lived there from that moment onwards. A year after that, their father died. At that moment, Salia found a job which she wanted to use to earn money to live on her own. Soon, she disappeared, and despite how much Remia saw Salia as her rival in life, she decided to go look for her, once she felt she was mature enough. Her first investigations were only around town, and despite wanting to join the Library, without having a Spirit, it was impossible for her to do that. But she was so convinced that she would be able to make it, that one day she was talked to by someone inside her head... Soon, she could join the Library, in hopes of finding her sister, or at least finding out what happened to her.

Branch: Mercenary - Public Relationships

Holder: Rook (was born as a holder).
Spirit: Lancelot du Lac (Lancelot of the Lake). The "perfect" knight who served another world's king. He is confident and sometimes even cocky, although he would never flaunt his skills. He works hard for the desired goals. He generally believes a righteous goal may justify less righteous paths. He respects any opponent's skills, and believes that being Remia's spirit is a new challenge to overcome.

Weapons:
* ARONDIGHT: Lancelot's famous sword, the Arondight's particularity is that it has the right size and the right weight for the user. Therefore, as Remia's POW and AGI increase, the sword will continue to adapt in order to ensure it's always as perfect for her. It is said the materials are the same as the Excalibur, and was crafted by the same people, which means it's just as sharp. Only Remia can use it.
[Active: Undine Blade
Expands on Arondight: Remia's POW multiplies by 1.25 and her sword gains the ability to manipulate water and freeze it to hinder the enemy's movements. These effects last for 4 turns, during which Remia can only use her sword. Cooldown is 5 turns.]

* NAMELESS LANCE: This lance was used by he who was called White Knight, Lancelot. Given to him by The Lady of the Lake, who adopted him after he was abandoned by his mother, the lance is faster than normal lances would be, and it becomes more powerful in the presence of water, thanks to its magic. Therefore, under the rain, the Lance will reach its full potential.
[Active: Kyrie Lance Style
Expands on Nameless Lance: The family style is strongly recognised when using this specific skill. Remia's AGI multiplies by 1.5 for the next 3 turns and her lance gains ice claws which add additional pain and can cause frostbite, depending on where the hit lands. While the skill is in use (3 turns), only the Lance can be materialised. Cooldown is 10 turns.]

* ICE CROSSBOW: This crossbow is silent when attacking, and it can use two bolts at the same time. The particularity of this crossbow is that it does not need normal bolts, as they are re-stocked magically. The bolts' heads are made of ice, resulting in additional pain depending on what the bolt hits.
[Active: Mirror Bolts
Expands on Ice Crossbow: During the next three turns, every bolt that Remia's crossbow shoots becomes three mid air, taking different trajectories each, which makes them harder to dodge. If the three of them land successfuly, a magic triangular mirror spawns and serves as a marker, provided that there is light for it to reflect. During the three turns this skill is active, Remia can't use any other weapon save for the crossbow. Cooldown is 4 turns.]

Diane Whimle

Name: Diane Whimle

Appearance: She is 18 years old. Stands at 160cm tall, weighs 53kg, and has an average build. Her looks tend to stand out but rather than having an incredibly thin figure (she’s not overweight, either) or a perfectly beautiful face, she achieves this with a relatively cute face and her ever-present friendly smile. She has long brown hair, slightly curly. Some say her hair’s curled because straight hair would not be able to keep up with her active personality. Her eyes have a cheerful green tone. Usually wears things that are comfortable and that she considers cute, although her dressing sense can be odd, sometimes. She has, however, a beautiful voice, which she uses to sing, something that she is good at.


Bio: When she was a little girl, a big fire destroyed her village, and just as the rest of the kids that survived, they were sent to various orphanages. Diane was sent to a far away place, where of course she didn’t know anyone, but also where the way they lived was completely different. In a normal situation, any kid would have had problems with such a different life, but she soon became the most cheerful girl of the orphanage. She had decided to lead a happy life, and so strong was her resolve that even on a subconscious level, she was having fun with every single thing. Soon, stories of how she had planted a hundred trees (the number was possibly exaggerated because this is the natural way rumours work) while singing her songs had spread across the city. It was also during that time, that she decided she wanted to learn how to cook. As a little girl, she stated she was thankful for the food the orphanage gave her, and that she wanted to try the most delicious treats. So, being the extremely active person she was, the natural conclusion was that she would try her hand at it. And just as she was good at singing, she became good at cooking. Despite the fact she seems to be happy all the time, she was never a spoiled person, and she knows how not everything comes easily. However, even for that situation she would find a song in her head. It turns out that she “met” her Spirit for the first time as she was singing, still as a little girl. At that time, everyone thought she just had an imaginary friend, but it was much more than that. Diane thought she was lucky to have a singing partner, but with time, her singing friend became a much more important person to her.
She decided to join the Library because she wanted to learn more about singing and cooking, but she also wanted to visit orphanages and spread her way of life.
Diane can act in strange ways, sometimes, as she’s always done whatever she wanted to do. It just so happens that the things she wanted to do were good for the others as well, but she never felt she was doing things for other people’s sake, until she was older enough to see the value of helping others. That’s why she can be a bit over the top with the laughing, joking, and similar things. Despite being rather smart, she has a low attention span. She has a soft spot for sweets.

Branch: Culinary - Medical - Mercenary as a support

Holder: Bishop (was born as a holder).
Spirit: Meena. She was a well-known travelling bard of a far away place. Despite not living a life full of luxuries, she always had the basic things one would need to live, and worked in what she loved the most in the world; singing. She believes that songs can heal minds and that everyone could get along. She would never escape conflict, however.

Spells:
* VANILLA SCHERZO: The spell makes Diane glow in a yellow-like light that makes it harder for her to be hit by an enemy, as well as increasing her AGI 1.5 times. Every 10 SPI points that she earns, she can use the spell for an extra ally. Therefore, 10 SPI means she could use it on herself and 1 ally, while 20 SPI means she could use it on herself and 2 allies. The song that accompanies the spell is fast-paced, carefree and humorous, showing Diane’s own personality. It’s her signature spell.
[Active: Ventriloquy
Expands on Vanilla Scherzo: Almost like a bad joke for their enemies; while this skill is on use, Diane can talk without her song stopping at all. Likewise, the AGI stat of her spell is multiplied by 1.75 instead of 1.5. Skill goes on during 5 turns and she can't stop it before that. Cooldown is 7 turns.]

* SUGAR POLKA: The spell causes sugar grains to appear, and they’re directed towards the enemies at a really high speed. This can cause a variety of relatively small wounds, as well as being particularly troublesome for the eyes and ears. The song that accompanies the spell is party-like and cheerful, although it has a sugary-y touch that makes it sound less march-like than the average polka.
[Active: Sweet explosion!
Expands on Sugar Polka: The sugar grains that are used on the spell can explode when they hit their target, causing a number of different injuries, particularly if they're able to sneak into the enemy's orifices, such as the ears, nose or mouth. And even eyes. The skill needs to go on during 5 turns and she can't stop it before that. Cooldown is 5 turns.]

* CINNAMON INCANTATION: The combination of very thin cinnamon powder in the air along with her magic song causes relaxation and protects Diane and her allies from enemies. The smell would be at its strongest for the enemies, causing them to be less efficient, while the smell would be a lot softer for the allies and her, causing them to feel happier and gain confidence. The song that accompanies the spell is calm and mysterious, with a sweet yet strong touch that relates to the cinnamon.
[Active: Drunken Cinnamon
Expands on Cinnamon Incantation: Alcohol vapour is released into the air along with the cinnamon powder. Just as with the original spell, a light concentration of alcohol gives Diane's allies 1 extra point in their lowest stat every 10 SPI points she has. These extra points do not substitute the original spell's. A higher concentration of alcohol for the enemies causes them to be less efficient and lose 1 AGI point for every 10 SPI points Diane has. The skill needs to go on during 3 turns and she can't stop it before that. Cooldown is 5 turns.]

Note: Since all her spells are songs, they will continue working until she stops singing, she changes spell, or something causes her to stop. Likewise, while she’s using a spell, she can’t speak, and if she speaks, the spell will be broken.

Adeline

Name: Adeline Tourret ("tour-ray")

Appearance: Adeline is a young female of sixteen years. She has shiny black hair and equally dark eyes. Her cute face is peppered with some freckles, but she has a rather sombre expression at all times. She stands around 1.62m tall. Adeline is usually seen wearing dark colored-clothing, and would take just a little make-up and metal accessories to pass as a goth. She takes much care to cover her entire body as her body is disfigured with countless scars.


Bio: Born in the wealthy Tourret family, Adeline's life of abundance was to come at a price. She was kidnapped by a criminal organization seeking to blackmail her family. By chance her best friend, Audrey, was also captured, and the two lived through unspeakable torture at the hands of their kidnappers. When the authorities finally located and staged a rescue, they found the criminals fleeing from their hideout. Inside, a grotesque monster straight out of a horrible nightmare was on a rampage. At the sight of the Library's holders, the monster disappeared. Adeline alone was found, severely injured and on the brink of death. The monster turned out to be her spirit, contracted sometime during her kidnapping.

She slowly recuperated, but her mind did not. Adeline would not speak of what happened during those few days, and she would start screaming when her spirit tried to talk to her. In fact, she couldn't remember herself, and she thought that she would never want to. Audrey's body was never found either. She took medication to block out her spirit, not wanting to face the horrible creature and its grating voice. As spirits were not known to leave a holder until death, her parents decided to send her to the library when she is older in hopes of learning a way to control the beast.

Sent out on dangerous missions, Adeline had to rely upon Sonneillon's strength to survive. Soon her spirit no longer reminded her only of her nightmares- it was also her comrade she owed her life to, and that changed her attitude towards it significantly. Sonneillon turned out to be extremely protective of her, and would even turn on other holders should they touch Adeline without her express permission.

Branch: Research

Holder: Knight

Spirit: Sonneillon, of hatred and suffering. The spirit is hard to describe, as it is a bizarre combination of sinister objects and pulsating black flesh. Thick coils of spiked steel chains cover most of its body, ending in vicious hooks, and blood visibly trickles off the rusted spikes. Beneath the spikes are just pitch darkness that no light would ever illuminate. Sonneillon stands on two legs with no other appendages, and is quite burly in build. Chained to its back is what appears to be an iron maiden that shines brightly. Sonneillon speaks in a deep resonating tone that seems to pierce into her mind.

Weapons/Spells:
• Black Sphere
Sonneillon conjures a pitch black orb above himself, and uses it to control gravity in a localized area. Controls gravity up to a factor of (SPI + POW*0.5) in a 1 meter radius; enlarging the area of effect will decrease the power of the spell.

Active: Orb of Annihilation
Sonneillon conjures a supercharged black orb and throws it directly. The swirling black orb destroys all matter that enter its event horizon. Power of this attack is determined by (POW+SPI)*1.2. Diameter of (POW+SPI)*0.5 meters.
Cooldown: 10

• Chains of Remorse
The spiked chains on Sonneillon's body functions as an extremely tough armor. It can be extended to attack, but removes its protection of Sonneillon's main body. Ability power determined by POW; accuracy of control determined by SPI. Range of (SPI) meters.

Active: Inescapable Guilt
Sonneillon fires a single chain ending in a hook from its maw, to catch fleeing or ranged targets. The speed of this attack makes it extremely difficult to evade. Range of (SPI + POW + 10) meters.
Cooldown: 2

• Bloody Maiden
Black tendrils explode from the side of its body, forming a pair of makeshift arms; Sonneillon then wields its heavy iron maiden like a weapon. Each swing is slow but hits like a truck.

Active: Death Sentence
Sonneillon opens the iron maiden, and black tendrils burst out of its insides to search of prey. Any unlucky person to be dragged inside is never heard of again. Limited reach (3 meters), but will instantly kill the target if it has less than half of Sonneillon's POW. Moderately injured enemies are treated as if they have 75% of their POW, and severely injured enemies 50%. Otherwise, their mind is heavily damaged by the horrific ordeal but they manage to escape the tendrils.

Vologhn

Name: Ling En / Vologhn

Bio: Ling En was an orphan raised by an organization affiliated with the Library. Children with suitable characteristics were selected and sent to the Library to become artificial spirit holders. At the age of six, Vologhn was sent to the Library laboratories to augment his natural mana flow. The procedure was successful. Within a few weeks, a spirit presented itself to the young boy, but something went horribly wrong. As soon as the spirit settled within his mind, Ling En ceased to exist, leaving the spirit Vologhn in sole possession of the body. She was equally perplexed by the turn of events, but none of the investigations have turned up any answers. Trapped within the body of a human, the spirit had no choice but to adapt to her new life. Her extensive knowledge of mana proved to be a valuable asset to the library, and she has hence joined the research branch. Vologhn still goes by the official name of Ling En, although closer acquaintances prefer to call her by her real name.

Vologhn is very intelligent, a genius in the field of applied mana manipulation. Her superior intelligence is even more jarring when she inhabited the young body of Ling En. She comes off as cold and arrogant to most people, for she has little patience to explain matters that are so simple to herself. Vologhn devotes much of her time within the Research department, carrying out various experiments that advance the fundamental understanding of mana. Despite being a spirit, Vologhn conducts herself in a manner that would not raise any suspicions of her true nature. Her emotions and expressions are surprisingly human, possibly a result of the physical body affecting the mind. At times Vologhn still comes off as eccentric. Her ultimate goal is to revive En's mind through her research, as she considers his disappearance her fault. Vologhn is rarely sent out on missions unless there are no other available personnel to handle an urgent request.

His time interacting with other holders in the mercenary department has slowly began to change him.

Appearance: A young man of Chinese descent. En has a head of curly black hair that almost touches his shoulders. He is often mistaken for a female at a glance, due to his slim build and feminine facial features. His eyes are black, or so dark that they appear so. He is of average height, approximately 174cm tall. En looks rather frail, a result of his less active lifestyle.

Branch: Research

Holder: Bishop

Spirit: Vologhn, the Spider of Knowledge. Vologhn is an ancient creature from eons past, awakening from her slumber to the call of her holder. She has been growing increasingly competent at controlling her new body ever since her arrival. Her original form comprises of the upper body of a human female, connected to the abdomen of a spider. Intricate white patterns cover the back of her body, changing into black tattoos as they reach her human skin. She has four pairs of eyes, all of them a brilliant green.

Weapons/Spells: Vologhn's abilities revolve around her ability to manipulate fine strands of mana, weaving them into various forms.
Spectral Weave
Vologhn spreads out intangible magical threads that are invisible to the naked eye, automatically binding themselves into an intricate web across a wide area. She is able to sense any minute movements within the web, and can use the threads to assist her movements, gaining a bonus to her agility and allows her to move in thin air. Only Vologhn is able to touch the web.

[Vologhn can use the web as a foothold to move three-dimensionally, as well as augmenting her speed by (SPI*0.3)]
[Web size affected by SPI levels; radius and height is (SPI*1) meters. Shape can be changed to suit needs, but generally will be a vague circular area. Multiple uses can allow her to blanket a sizable area with Spectral Webs.]

Active: Spectral Materialization
Vologhn shifts the frequency of the Spectral Webs, causing it to affect the real world. The web now ensnares all that touch its threads, binding to surfaces like super-glue, and has a strength equal to (SPI*1.2). Even Vologhn is affected by this effect, but his spider constructs are not.
Cooldown: 6

Silken Weave
Vologhn weaves solid threads out of mana. These threads are extremely resilient and can be used to protect an ally or bind an enemy. When in contact with another being, Vologhn can use the threads to transfer or drain SPI.

[The Silken Weave is relatively tough, providing a temporary shield. A trapped target will be similarly unable to open the bindings unless sufficient force is applied. The strength of the threads are determined entirely by her SPI. The range of this spell is equal to SPI*1 meters.]
[Vologh is able to steal [Target's SPI*0.3] and add it to her SPI, or give [SPI*0.3] to another person temporarily.]

Active: Mithril Fibre
Vologhn weaves several threads of extreme magical density that boosts their durability by ten-fold, allowing a handful to hold up weights of up to (SPI*50) kilograms before ripping, and has a strength equal to (SPI*2). Through these threads Vologhn may change the composition of energy to heal, allowing her to use stolen or transferred SPI to mend wounds instead.
Cooldown: 4

Swarm Weave
Vologhn creates several magical constructs in the form of spiders. She can concentrate her effort on creating one large spider that is as large as a horse or a dozen spiders the size of dogs. These glowing silver-white spiders can climb across the Spectral Webs woven by Vologhn, and attack enemies by sapping their energy through physical contact. When a spider is filled with energy, Vologhn may command them to transfer the stored energy into a person, boosting their physical abilities.

[AGI stolen per spider amounts to Vologhn's (SPI*0.5/number of spiders). The Spiders simply dissolve into pulses of pure energy that quickly flows through the Spectral Web to reach whatever target Vologhn intends to transfer the energy to.]
[Spider's stats: STR = (SPI/number of spiders), SPI = (SPI*1.5/number of spiders), AGI = Vologhn's AGI.]
[Weaving Spiders take time equal to (16-AGI) seconds, with a minimum limit of 5 seconds. Spiders last for up to ten minutes, but the concentration required to control them limits her from summoning more.]

Active: Spontaneous Arachnoplosion
Vologhn destabilizes the structure of a spider construct, causing it to detonate with force equal to her SPI. If the spider has stolen energy, deals (SPI + stolen AGI) damage instead. Small spiders explode with an effective blast range of 3 meters, while large spiders explode with an effective blast range of 12 meters.
Cooldown: 4

*EXTRA: To other players, please use the male pronoun when referring to Ling En / Vologhn. If this is your first meeting with him, please use his official name of En (first name). If you are in the research branch, you may choose to know his real name, thus calling him Vologhn. He doesn't really care either way.

Charles Night

Charles' right eye glows a soft red, due to his spirit living in his empty socket.
Bio: Charles almost lost his life at the age of 14, when he was trapped in a falling building. Lodged under a fallen girder, he had given up on living when his Spirit appeared to him. Using it's own mana in a desperate attempt to keep him alive, they hung on together until he could be rescued. unfortunately, infusing it's mana so intricately with his own left his spirit unable to survive without a direct connection to him, and so it took the place of his missing eye. 10 years later Charles found his way into the Intelligence department of the Library.
Branch: Intelligence

Holder: Knight
Spirit:
-Name: Sophia

-Personality: Sophia is a kind, though sometimes ill mannered, spirit, always seeming to be tired unless there is action. Though she seems ordinary enough, Sophia has many unique skills suitable for speed and stealth.
-Special Conditions: Sophia is a Knight spirit focusing on speed, but due to her inability to leave Charles' contact she cannot manifest herself. Instead, when she would be summoned she instead spreads her Mana through Charles far more powerfully, temporarily granting him the abilities she would have had herself. When resonating, Charles goes through several physical changes, including the red coloring of his right eye spreading to both, his hair lengthening temporarily, and Asian lettering appearing on his arms and chest.
[Active State] When receiving power from Sophia, Charles can enter an Active State, increasing the strength of their resonance by using Radian Mana to supplement their own. This action improves his overall abilities, AGI +5, Pow +3, Jump lvl +1. This Active State can last for 5 posts, and has a Cooldown of double the time spent in it.

Weapons/Spells: Weapons for Rooks, Spells for Bishops and a combination for Knights. Pawns can ignore this section.

* Telepathy: Charles can speak directly into the mind of anyone he has met before, or who is in his direct line of sight. He can converse with multiple people at once, and even use his mind as a psychic hub to connect multiple people together, though if more than three people are talking in his head he starts getting distracted from other tasks.
* Chain Knives: When Resonating, Charles can use Sophia's weapons, one of which is the Chain Knives. The knives have a variable length of chain between them and can either be used for combat or as a dual grappling hook.
* Four Fold Staff: Sophia's most complicated weapon, the four fold staff can be used as four different weapons: a bo staff, a three section staff, a scythe, and a naginata.

Maria Caroline Miller

Appearance:
Bio: Maria belongs to a wealthy family, her father being involved in politics. Growing up, her mother always told her that it was the woman's duty to protect the man she chooses to marry, not serve him. She held onto her belief that in every household the man's wife served as his shield, and it was her greatest wish to be able to do the same. Her desire to protect is what drew her spirit, Titanus, to her on her 18th birthday, and soon brought her to a position in the Library.
Branch: Mercenary

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Titanus

Titanus is very passive, almost never taking part in conversations. Some people doubt if he can even speak, since the only time he responds is when somebody he respects asks him a question directly. In fact, the only person he currently talks with is Maria.

Weapons/Spells:

Titanic Armor: Maria summons a suit of armor made from the same material as Titanus' fullplate, which has the mysterious property of attracting enemy attention. While she wears it, she gains a +1 bonus to her provoke skill.
[Active] Titanic Defense: Maria replaces her armor with Titanus' own, turning her into an impregnable fortress of steel. The armor protects her from any physical damage, but reduces her mobility to one third of her normal speed. Duration 4, CD 20.
Titanic Shield: Maria summons Titanus' shield, which has the same properties as his armor. Any physical blow that contacts the shield is turned away, and the impact behind the shield becomes negligable.
[Active] Titanic Repulsion: Titanus' shield will now reflect the blows that impact it back at the source, instead of simply nullifying them. Duration 5, CD 10.
Titanic Crystal: Maria summons a crystal shield that absorbs any harmful magic directed at it. Each spell it blocks lights up one of the 12 crystal sections that make up the shield, and when 3 or more are filled Maria can release a shock wave from the shield, consuming the magic to force anyone in front of the shield backwards, as if she had Shoved them. (Every 3 crystals lit simulates 1 level of Shove)
[Active] Titanic Refraction: Instead of a shockwave, Maria can release the magic stored in the shield in it's original form, casting the spell meant for her at whomever she chooses. The spell is unchanged (If it was set to track her, it will still track her. If it couldn't effect the caster, it still won't.), but she releases it in the direction the shield is facing. Duration 1, CD 5+ CD of the spells released, if any. Only one spell in every set of three crystals can be cast.

Emily Reece

Name: Emily Savanna Reece

Appearance: Emily’s a young and quiet appearing woman at first glance, the color of sun fed dunes. On her back is a work related white vivid scar lined down from the left shoulder, her long curling hair of light brown end at the start of it and bangs that sweep to the side tracing her diamond shape face and high curved eyebrows. The most dominate trait is her black eyes, intense and soothing at the same time, always appear to be hiding something. Physically she tends to push her body to great lengths beyond traditional human restriction building a lean but appealing muscle tone.

Her clothes differ depending on the occasion but always suited for motion. Her most common seen outfit is a simple white sleeveless vest crossed over to button at the side. Simple black pants that reach to mid-calf without decoration in any sense, completed with dark borders of plain color around the pant legs. Cloth moccasins save her feet from abuse from the ground when she walks though when she can get away with it prefers bare footed, while her hair is usually braided on to a single plait that loops several times before being pinned to the back of her head.

Bio: Emily was born with mana in her body but the fraction difference was pathetic that it made her really no different than a human. For the most part of her life, easier than most but every bit earned though her love of solving challenges and rarely black mail, was innocent and boring enough. Under the care of only her Aunt and side by side with a cousin, she never knew her father as her mother died in child birth. They lived in a desert like climate that made her bare feet became tough and hardened to the sensation of burning sand between her toes until the age of 16. She grew into a young woman, working her way to make a living from odd end jobs ranging in a few areas but mostly manual labor in the end.

It was when she turned 21 when she heard Cerberus’s voice for the first time shortly after the death of her Aunt. His voice was friendly and soothing that her interest was perked as she enjoyed long conversations over time with him though she wasn’t able to see the source. It was only a few weeks after that she was recruited to work into the Library as a nameless, faceless aid since her mana had gained her little difference from a human save for hearing Cerberus’s faint voice. It was here, 23 then, she volunteered for a procedure of placing mana artificially into the body in hopes to strengthen Cerberus’s presence and maybe up her worth in the world.

There seemed to be no change in her condition so without reason to keep her, Emily was released to resume her job once more. It only lasted a few days, she was found stricken with unexplained fever and seizing body before being rushed into medical services. Lasting for many weeks, it seemed that her own natural mana waged war against the artificially injected until finally they found balance. In the end it increased her mana to where Emily could now hear Cerberus and see his physical form greeting her upon awaking with a canine smile on each of his three muzzles. She quickly discovered she could materialize his spirit into weapons making her a rook as well his personality clashed very well with her own, not affecting their ability to work as one in the least. Nothing has been the same between them since.

Branch: Mercenary-Research

Holder: Rook
Spirit:

Name: Cerberus

Appearance: Blacker then night, three headed dog of the underworld of Greek myth garbed in chains of his own blood coiled about his torso and neck. Each canine head has the same features: a muzzle with elongated teeth, serpent mane about his thick neck, and dark yellow eyes that seem to pierce into the soul of whatever he stares at. Save for the eyes of the middle head, his burn white hot like the hottest hell fire. Cerberus holds a strong posture at all times with pride in his stride but a seemingly cold demeanor, he stands higher than his holder at 5’9” by only 6”. His form seems to be surrounded by dark wisps representing the dead he once guarded in another life and his large three mouths wafts mist continuously caught with the ethereal green yellow flames that flicker with his words.

Personality: A guardian by nature, he is loyal, protective, and relentless when the need arises for it. He can be aggressive or submissive adjusting to the role that needed at the time exercising his natural talents to adapt. Yet he tends to struggle against obeying when his comfort level is threatened. Most times when Emily is being overfriendly with a male human, his voice takes on an angry tone. Often bearing his teeth and growling under his breath from the middle head which holds the human aspect of talking. Others are when a situation looks grim or if his holder is in danger, sometimes of her own doing. Usually silent and speaks very little, when he does it is with a crude sometimes vulgar bluntness to make his point with a thick voice that holds a hint of brooding in it.

Weapons/Spells:
Viper Bow: A pure black bow, ridged and segmented to look like a curved bone spine with a ruby eyed serpent head at either end of the bow notch. A long red string to pull back to let fly an arrow to a direction Emily desires without fear of running dry of ammo as the arrow materializes like dark wisps of shadows the moment she pulls back, vanishing the moment she allows it to retrach back to its original position.

{Active}Styx’s Wrath: Using the river of the dead, the Viper Bow is able to target the highest stat of an opponent subtracting a fourth from its total-rounded down. If Emily’s AGI> enemy’s stat+3, then the ability will work lasting for 3 posts until it wears off. However if the enemy’s stat+3 is > than Emily’s AGI, the ability has a 50% rate of success. Cool down is 4 posts, success or not.

Guardian Fangs: Made of Cerberus’s teeth, these white gauntlets are offensive weapons with four long curved blades that travel just behind the knuckles straight out about five inches. They curl slightly inwards with the three dog faces of Cerberus facing out on top of her hand with chain made from snakes intertwining traveling just to the middle of her arm for decoration.

Hades Dagger: A long thin knife able to be easily handled and concealed by Emily’s forearm, not ideal for outright offense. More of hidden weapon, it has a range of uses from pick-locking to silent kills from behind and if needed a makeshift throwing blade. The handle is dark died blood red balancing the blade’s blade end perfectly, at the end where the dagger’s pommel rests is a small replica of the main head of Cerberus with glittering diamond eyes.

Nathair Lysander

Name: Nathair Lysander

Appearance:


Details not shown and ignoring the fact he’s got a tiger strip Tarzan outfit on:

Nathair stands at 5’8” in height and weighting in at 173 lbs., he prefers to wear close to the skin outfits making them feel like a second skin. For a mission he wears a basic outfit consisting of a shirt, worn jeans, and thick sole boots while in casual he might be willing to sport something more normal. His arms have the aged hid of some unidentified animal, teeth and claws, self-woven bands and salvage from the ship wreck fashioned as seen in the image. In time they have been altered/mended with newer materials over the years after being adopted but still continue to look close to the origins due to sentimental reasons. Often he carries a small knife usually attached to his hip under the clothing, a safety precaution and very useful tool if he was ever left to once more survive in the wilderness. His long, unkempt hair is dark brown and bound in makeshift ties likely adding to his serious look.

His most notable trait is the variety of continuous tattoos running his whole body, similar to birth marks, seen on his exposed flesh. They travel from head to toe, creating a dragon and floral pattern, and covering over the healed scars. The cause or reason for it is unknown despite the number of theories. Only thing that’s been confidently determined is they have no supernatural properties and a recessive trait.

Bio:
Little is known about Nathair’s past before the island or his origins because he remembers nothing beyond the wreck. Just being washed upon the shore and clinging for dear life onto some saltwater soaked plank. He was young, six or seven, and suffering though a lot on his first day ashore. There were a number of carnivorous animals and monsters that roamed the over grown area added to the endless sea, the island was the only home he had known for six years after. It was its own isolated and untamed. Just a child and severing from a first encounter, Nathair did the best he could on the first night. It wasn’t enough and only a prelude for future terrible nights ahead of him.

That was before Quetzalcoatl appeared and everything changed. The small winged serpent just came out of nowhere one day bearing a fresh, still wiggling, bass within his jaws. Nathair almost mistaken the snake for another of the island’s dangerous wildlife and instantly braced to die right there, too weak to run away. His closed eyes only to open at hearing the serpent’s deep voice speak to him in reassurance. As the days turned into weeks and finally into years, Nathair and Quetzalcoatl soon became the lords of their small island world. After having only his spirit as his company, the boy melded well into his surroundings both physically and mentally. Despite the fact Quetzalcoatl could fly away, never once had Nathair ever had the desire to leave the island at least until the day the strangers came ashore. The strangers were Librarian holders sent to investigate reports of a flying serpent over the uncharted island. They didn’t once realize it might’ve been more than a rare monster sighting. For over a month Nathair hid himself well, stalking and studying them, as curiosity kept him close but his fear limiting him to the shadows. It didn't take long for the holders spotted signs of human presence when the boy became careless, starting a manhunt for what they believed was poachers. Their swept across the island pushed Nathair, unknowingly hunting the boy into the edge of a cliff, forcing him and his spirit to fight. It wasn’t until after they beat Quetzalcoatl did they realize who the winged serpent belong to. Snarling and terrified at being defenseless, Nathair made the only choice he could: jumping off the cliff edge and into the sea. They finally fished the kid out afterwards, looking like a drowned rat. It was a nickname that followed him after he bit and scratched a few holders in the rescue attempt...

With no id or clues to his past added to the fact he was a young holder, the Library had little options left to them. They couldn’t just allow the child into social services and hope the damage would be minimal or could they forcefully employ him in his current wild state. The risk was too great. Currently the boy’s future undecided, a holder by the name of Chelsea Lysander had remained with the boy and slowly gained some footing with him. She was spryly widow that was transferring to the Administrate branch after this mission, most believe she had no business in taking on such a wild responsibly as Nathair but she felt it was her duty to ensure Nathair would have a happy life. With aid from the Library, she managed to adopt the boy in less than a week which concerned her at first but Ms Lysander didn’t question after she was made the primary guardian.

Raising a wild child wasn’t easy for Ms Lysander while for Nathair, adapting to society was much harder. Nathair remembered leaving many scratches in his unruly youth when first learning. Thankfully his new mother was a patient, kind and forgiving woman and a Bishop. This made it easier to stand her ground whenever Quetzalcoatl went against her authority and reprimand. She named the boy Nathair and giving him her last name. Over the years he learned to willingly shift his spirit from one form to the other, and the basics of the modern age. Daily progress reports were made throughout Nathair’s life by Miss Lysander back to the Library until he turned 18. They only stopped because it was the age his employment began and requested placement in the Administration like his mother. Currently his adopted mother still works in the office as secretary, 62 and healthy, since she doesn’t have the skill she once had to go on missions anymore. Nathair keeps in touch with her and spends a lot of his time in the Library, working and keeping a place of residence near his mother.

During the Liaison’s promotion, Nathair found himself torn between loyalty to his job and friendship when one of his closest comrades had been part of the conspiracy. He was one among the seriously injured during the event, suffering several wounds from broken bones to a punctured lung, after being tossed close range into the wall by the Rook before his spirit could brace him. Quartz of course took after the man but ceased when Nathair called him back, both hurt and confused, bring his loyalty into question when he allowed the escape. After treatment and rough questioning, Nathair was in the clear to continue employment. The damage was already done and now Nathair wouldn't be surprised if some doubted his innocence since. With many of the branches thin in staff, it opened up new opportunities. Nathair had a chance to increase his skill knowledge and ability for the future, making up for his human limits with knowledge and connections. He still works and is registered with the Administration branch but he volunteers with jobs in Research, Medical, Culinary and Mercenary from time to time.

Branch: Administration Branch

Holder: Knight

Spirit: Quetzalcoatl

Reaching 20 foot in length and bright emerald green scales, Quetzalcoatl is a giant feathered serpent complete with bird like wings. On his head is a set of two tan horns, they curve back and into a feather crest similar to a crown against his skull back. A bit farther along the spine lies a ridge of feathers, sprouting small then melding back into the scales just at a few inches from where the wings joint to the body. Each individual feather starts off a vibrant blue that gradually dulls into a dark brown at the tip. The tips of his snout and tail also have the same dark brown coloring, while his tail tip is covered in a small fan of the same feathers.

Quetzalcoatl, or Quartz as he prefers (His full name noted to be hard to say correctly so he created a nickname and based on a mineral with similar spelling), at most times is compassionate, social and enjoys the simplicity in life. Nathair is the quieter of the two, often leaving an opportunity for the winged serpent to take the lead in social interactions and freely speaking, sometimes leaving his holder wishing to melt into the floor. Despite Quartz’s tendency to take over social occasions the spirit trusts his Knight can take care of himself in the heat of battle, both spirit and human playing off each other’s strengths and weaknesses as they’ve always done in the past. This has resulted in the Aztec god viewing Nathair to be equal on the mental playing field even when he is clearly lacking in the physical one and deep companions in this walk of life for however long Quartz can make it last.

Weapons/Spells:

Divine Wings: Thanks to the magic in his feathers and wings, Quetzalcoatl is given the ability to fly that otherwise isn’t logical for a serpent his size. However this doesn’t affect any carried weight and so any weight not his own can affect the height the winged god can achieve, heavier it is then less height. It also limits his mobility through the air making Quetzalcoatl’s natural grace more cumbersome and slow.

Serpent Skin: Quetzalcoatl’s able to change his mass by shedding several times into any size when focusing upon his skin, either to extend or shrink the length and thickness of the scales beneath. He can range from his colossal 20 foot in length to that of an average garter snake merely by shedding off the old size. Unfortunately, while his stats aren’t affected, Quetzalcoatl’s size can affect his reach, range and effectiveness in the situation. Depending on how drastic shift in size is, morphing to another size can take time and several extra layers later if the difference between them is extreme.

{Active}Camouflage Scale: Focusing on the composition of the scale’s surface rather than the thickness and length, Quetzalcoatl is enabled to change his skin’s appearance. It’s now able to bend light around his surface resulting in making him nearly invisible to the naked eye. While in this skin he is unable to shift size, requiring him to shed the current one, or change into his spirit form without first dropping the invisibility. The effect lasts for 3 posts, ending immediately if he’s hit or the outer skin is damaged to reveal the snake underneath and forcing Quetzalcoatl to cast it off. Cool down is 7 posts once the effect has ended.

Aztec Winds : A god of the winds, this serpent can use the air around him as his weapon upon his whim. Using his tail, fangs or wing tips for a focus point for his manipulation of the wind, Quetzalcoatl can rapidly move it around the limb to become sharp and strong enough to cut into flesh, wood, stone and most metals easily.

{Active}Gale Burst: Proving he is the master of the wind, Quetzalcoatl shifts his Aztec Winds into his bite. By compressing it within his maw, Quetzalcoatl lets the pressure build for one post to charge. During this time Quetzalcoatl is immobile and venerable, unable to move until he’s released it. Once let go, it sends a single shot in a straight line with enough force to knock anything or one in its path right off their feet. Cool down is 4 posts.

McKenzi Bishop

Name: McKenzi Bishop.
Appearance: Standing at roughly 5'9", this woman has a relatively lithe figure and long, raven black hair that flows to the mid-point of her back. Often found wearing baggy, thick clothing that can keep her warm in the cold, and although the specific articles vary from day to day, the same idea remains consistent throughout. Her most notable possessions are a hat with the shield insignia of her father's corporation, and a pair of black combat boots, one of which holsters a combat knife.

Her skin is pale as snow, and her eyes are sea green, often they look too warm to match her typically cold demeanour. If she wore more feminine clothing, a tan, and a smile, one might even be forgiven for finding her quite attractive, but as it presently stands, she's average at the best of times.

Although hidden from view, there's a small scar that runs across the lower left side of her belly, just shy of the bellybutton. Jester ended up leaving this behind on her when he committed his homicide-suicide in her third mission. A permanent reminder of his uncontrollable nature.
Biography: Split into two parts.

Pre-RP

McKenzi Bishop was born and grew up with a single parent, her mother having perished in childbirth. Her father, Alexander Bishop, was a man devoted to his work, and Bishop took after him in every respect. During her childhood she had few friends, not out of trauma or bullying but simply out of a lack of interest in social pursuits: She took the sciences at an early age, and was cold like her father, though behind closed doors they were kind and loving to one another. She has no other family to really speak of, and aside from the occasional incident involving her lack of feminine graces, there was nothing remarkable about her life either... Though what few things she learned of her mother, she grew to see her as being a figure of kindness and love, and thus she did grow to care for the common person.

Soon after Bishop turned eighteen, her father left to start a new research project with his company. She took this opportunity to blossom, and took a research post learning about spirits and whatever realms they may come from. It was here that she learned she was an unawakened holder, and with a burning curiosity she decided to awaken it in a rare moment of throwing caution to the wind. Jester, at this time, spotted an opening in the world of mortal men and took to it without hesitation. The very first moment she heard his voice she knew that what she had brought into the world was something far more terrifying than she had even imagined: A total mad man... Though, strangely, her nature affected his powers and how they manifested through her. Thus, she left to The Library to learn her own powers, and to use them to solve problems.

---

During the RP

McKenzi Bishop was pulled from the research division to go on her first official mission with two partners: A pirate, and a ladies man. The latter flirted with her or berated her as she tried to offer her advice, but, regardless, she followed his orders, even the ones she felt were foolish. Upon confronting their target, he paid the ultimate price for his arrogance: With his life. In that one moment of horror Bishop acted and with the assistance of the pirate, took the target down, and dispatched her minions.

During her second mission, an "unofficial" affair, Bishop arrived to the ball to celebrate the coronation of a new head of the Library. Here there was an attempt made on his life, and Bishop did what she could just to remain alive, though it was a close call. Later on during the following investigation, she found the corpse of her pirate compatriot: She was all alone again... Save for Jester, who happily mocked the situation.

With the third mission came a series of mishaps and failures. On this mission she was sent to apprehend some of the rebels, and decided to try and help some of the people here. Here she met Vologhn, who she didn't trust at first... A spirit who took over the form of its holder? How could one trust a spirit, with her experience handling Jester. Yet, she grew to realize that he was trustworthy in a fight, and had the same goal in mind as her: To keep her allies alive. Yet, some perished in the fighting anyway... And nothing could be done about it. Here, Jester showed his true malevolence, in the final battle, he took an innocent man that he had possessed and committed a homicide-suicide with its creature. This left Bishop badly wounded, and has left a scar on her abdomen from the incident.

Notable, Jester also met Mime, a creature he consistently referred to as an imitator and pretender.

Between this mission and the fourth mission, her father sent her a letter warning her not to pursue him. This left her distraught and confused. As well, Bishop was promoted to be the eyes and ears of the library by the head of the library himself, to which she tentatively agreed, though she felt conflicted by her father's letter.

The fourth mission involved infiltrating her father's company. Vologhn and Mime accompanied her on this mission, along with one other. She immediately bee-lined for his position, and to her horror, discovered the man she had once considered her father was now willing to torture her... Which, he of course, did. For a limited time, before her comrades came to save to her and extract the information they needed. Alexander escaped, however, and while the details of this mission are shrouded in mystery, the end result is not: Bishop was mentally scarred, and the only thing that stopped her from going completely cold was the gentleness of a person she once distrusted: Vologhn

What happens now, is anyone's guess... Whether she will become colder, or slowly open up to her allies, is a mystery... Then again, many things about this woman's psyche are.

Branch: Research.

Holder: Bishop.
Spirit: Jester/Trickster. He goes by other names as well, but usually sticks with Jester, to keep things simple. Whether "he" is even a "he" or a "she" or an "it" is arguable, it seems to change its shape and form on a whim, usually taking the form of a court Jester only for Bishop's sake. He often hints at being far older and far smarter than he lets on, though his insanity makes any of his claims rather questionable. He is a ruthless sociopath who will torture and murder others for the sake of his own amusement, but usually tries to keep Bishop out of harm's way.

He is, ultimately, enigmatic and whimsical, and sees the human race as nothing more than an amusing distraction from... Whatever it was he was doing before.

Weapons/Spells:

Mind Play: Mind Play is, to put it simply, mind control. Jester and Bishop are capable of possessing a target based on its highest stat versus her spirit. If she succeeds, she takes control of the target, though there are things to keep in mind about this power.

The more powerful the target is in comparison to Bishop, the more deadly the wounds sustained by the target will be to Bishop as well. Thus, if Bishop is barely retaining control over someone, and that someone is injured, Bishop will also sustain a similar injury, the magnitude of which scales based on their power. This effect continues one post even after Bishop breaks control, so if she causes a target to jump off a cliff to its death, then lets go of control, she can still be harmed by this connection.

If Bishop's SPI isn't enough to overcome the target's defense stat, she can push herself a little further, and add 20% to her spi score for taking control over the target. (ex: 10 spi + 20% = 12 spi in practice.) However, in doing so, she focuses entirely on this act, and loses control over her own body in order to retain control over Jester, thus becoming extremely vulnerable. As well, wounds sustained by the target are nearly equally deadly to Bishop. If the target dies while under her control, she will likely die soon after. Alternatively, Bishop can also leave Jester in control to retain control over her own body, though he is a malevolent sociopath, and will likely relish the chance to harm her allies and her enemies, and civilians, indiscriminately. Bishop is the only thing he will not attack.

If the target dies while Bishop is controlling it without the 20% bonus, there's a two post cooldown before she can use Mind Play again due to trauma. If the target dies while Bishop or Jester is controlling it with the 20% bonus, she suffers severe mental trauma that debilitates her for one post, and cannot use Mind Play again for three posts, assuming she survives.

She can choose to possess an ally PC if they give her permission. They retain control of themselves. This is mainly used for stat booster, to help an ally get out of harm's way, or otherwise.

• Stat Booster: Bishop can boost the weakest stat of a target she's chosen to use mind play on based on her spirit compared to the deficit. Specifically: Bishop's SPI - Target's weakest stat * 0.8. Example: Weakest stat is agility at 4. Bishop's SPI is at 12. 12-4=8. 8*0.8=6.4. Round down to 6. 4+6=10. She cannot use this ability in the same post that she takes control of a target.
  
  Both Stat Booster and Mind Play cannot be used with any of Bishop's other abilities, though they can be used with skills.

Surprise Party!: This oddly named power allows Bishop to turn herself or a target within eyesight invisible. This invisibility can be seen through by targets with superior spirit scores, or by powers that give a target some form of superior vision or sense of smell.

• Mirror: Bishop can choose to use surprise party's invisibility effect to reflect part of the damage of an ability back at the user. The rest is sustained by Bishop. The target's SPI is used against hers to calculate the damage difference. Approximately 5% of the damage is reflected either towards Bishop or the target who casted the ability based on how much higher one is above the other. ex: If Bishop has 12 SPI, and the target sustaining damage from the reflection has 14 SPI, Bishop will sustain 60% of the damage, and the target will sustain 40% of it.
  
  Using Mirror breaks Surprise Party! And prevents it from being used for three posts.

Jester's Gift: Allows Bishop to afflict a target with some of Jester's madness. The effect is totally random and can vary from being minor or major, ranging from uncontrollable laughter to insane levels of rage, to pure unending terror, hallucinations, and more. It's up to the GM to decide how the power works. Targets with a high POW or SPI score in comparison to Bishop will resist this effect better than most. She can affect up to three targets with this power, but has to hit them one at a time. If she uses mind play on a target afflicted with Jester's Gift, she is affected by Jester's Gift to a lesser degree.

• Bishop's Pain: Every target affected by Jester's Gift is riddled with extreme pain. The resistance stat is POW or SPI versus Bishop's SPI. The pain can be crippling. For every 2 SPI above the target's SPI or POW, the duration of the pain lasts an additional post. If Bishop's SPI is 10 points or higher than the target's resistance stat, the target is knocked unconscious from overwhelming pain.
  
  Using this removes the effects Jester's Gift has on the targets affected. While targets are still being affected by Bishop's Pain, Jester's Gift cannot be used on additional targets, unless a person is knocked unconscious by Bishop's Pain, in which case, they are no longer affected: They are unconscious.
  
  Bishop cannot use Bishop's Pain in the same post as using Jester's Gift. She can use one or the other per post, not both in the same post.

PUNCH-2: "When things get desperate..."
SCAN-2: "I can't defeat an enemy I do not understand."
SPELLATK-1: "One empowered moment can be enough to overturn an empire."
TELEPATHY-1: "Jester's recent developments would be fascinating if it weren't for the fact that he can torture others with his incessant attempts at humour now."

Daniel Constantine

Name: Daniel Constantine.
Appearance:


Artist, because I may be too lazy to learn how to draw, but I'm not too lazy to give credit where it's due!
Bio: Daniel Constantine was born to a wealthy family which got rich off of hunting monsters and researching the supernatural. They have their own estate a few miles outside of the capital, and many servants. Their name is known throughout the circles of minor nobility, as they are often hired by the nobility to take care of problems. They were once prominent even among the highest of nobility, but fell when his grandfather's uncle was discovered to be a vampire. This man was known as Julian, and while his body was slain, some still whispered that they saw his spirit from time to time.

Daniel, like his forefathers, trained in the art of killing monsters and supernatural creatures, and like his forefathers, contracted out to various nobles and corporations who needed problems resolved. He spent his whole life looking up to his older brother, Tolan, who often worked with him. Together they even ended up rescuing Daniel's present day wife, Soție, from, of all creatures, a vampire. Naturally though, all good things come to an end, and when Daniel turned twenty four, Tolan went missing in a mission for Aegis corp. Daniel spent two months searching for any trace of his brother, only to be told by Aegis corp that he had died. With no body to show, and not even a shred of his clothing or otherwise to remember him by, Daniel swore to himself to find the creature that slew Tolan, and slay it, so as to prevent such a powerful creature from living on to murder more people.

During this time, he read up on the history of his family to look for any sign of monsters that preyed on hunters specifically. While he found a few possibilities, he stumbled on the historical accounts of his uncle. Finding mostly sympathetic accounts, and knowing the power of spirits, he went to The Library to test his capacity as a holder. When it proved positive, he slipped away and used an old witch's ritual to summon the spirit of Julius to him. Julius, thus, became part of him, and immediately warned him of an impending attack that would kill his wife. He had seen it as a spirit approaching the family estate.

His family estate was attacked, just as Julian said it would be. While his wife survived thanks to Julian's warning, it was very clear that the attack was perpetrated by humans, targeting him and his wife specifically. Thus, to keep the rest of his family safe, he left for The Library with Soție, knowing that he owed them one anyway. In exchange for protection and sanctuary for Soție, he offers his services as a trained intelligence gatherer and mercenary.

Besides. He had to learn more about who his brother's killer was, and while Aegis Corp was not cooperative about such a thing, The Library might be more than happy to give him any potential leads as he sniffed out potential problems for them. A mutually beneficial relationship.

Branch: Intelligence. Daniel is a monster hunter, if he wasn't good at intelligence, he would be out of work.

Holder: Rook.
Spirit: Julius Constantine, AKA "Uncle." Julius was born roughly two hundred fifty years ago. He became a vampire, and was hunted down and slain by Daniel's father after he started to slip about the family estate. To this day, nobody is certain why, as no servants were slain. History told a more sympathetic tale, more like Frankenstein's monster, than the truth of it: Julius simply doesn't consider people in general as having any basic value. A person has to prove they worthiness in order to gain his admiration or respect, or to be spared from his lust for blood. He wears a masquerade of sophistication, and takes an interest in the arts. Coincidentally, he wears a pale white mask, and often keeps a human skull around which he named Whiskers. It is quite possible his only friend.

Weapons/Spells:

Război Ciocan: A light, two handed warhammer made out of silver, with a permanent red blood stain on the stabbing end of it. It can be used as a blunt weapon to break bones and cause extreme pain, or as a piercing weapon to get through heavy armour. Silver is a traditional weapon against supernatural creatures, though auspiciously, vampires are exempted unless you drive it into their heart. This one has been passed down the Constantine family from generation to generation, and although originally thought lost, Julian was kind enough to just... Hold onto it. With his chest. It's in mint condition otherwise, he swears.

• Blood Price: Using this ability, Daniel's eyes turn silver, and he gains a bonus point of agility per person he is facing, up to a maximum of 40% of his agility. (So at 10 agility he cannot gain more than 4 bonus agility to start with, even if there are more than 4 enemies.) This agility wears off after two posts, though each person slain (friend, foe, or neutral) in the area increases the length of the ability by one post. This is limited by the amount of POW he has. (40% of his own power is his limit. Behaves the same as his agility limit.) Once the ability wears off or when he stops using it, he grows extremely fatigued temporarily, and inflicts an agility penalty on himself based on the number of allies/neutrals/enemies slain, up to a maximum of 40% of his agility, for three posts. After that he cannot use the ability for another two posts, as he still has to regain his strength to use it again.
  
  Each person he personally slays using this ability also costs him in his own life force: As a blood tribute to Julian, who expects something in return for his services. The wounds sustained are up to GM discretion, with more powerful enemies causing greater wounds to Daniel. As a general rule of thumb though, killing more than six regular people or more than three people equal to his own strength should be enough to cause him to cough up blood and wheeze in pain. More than five of his own level of power should be enough to wrench or outright break a limb.
  
  For obvious reasons, if he switches to another weapon, this ability will cancel and give him the penalty attributed to it.

Valkyrie: A large mechanical crossbow, generally used to do as much damage to one specific thing as is possible. It takes one post to actually reload it, and it cannot be fired while moving... At least, not accurately. Julian especially seems to show a dislike for this weapon, though he has fashioned what he likes to call his own special recipe for it. Needless to say, this crossbow can also destroy locks or blow through certain kinds of material due to its empowered properties from Daniel's power. (Note: "certain kinds of material" are things like drywall, or thin layers of wood. Not concrete, and he certainly couldn't blow apart a five hundred year old tree, though he could do quite a number to it.)

• Hypnotic Bolt: Each crossbow bolt gains +30% of Daniel's POW score in terms of piercing and damage, and causes the target to become feverish and hallucinate. They also have a chance of becoming non-hostile, or perhaps even cooperative, with Daniel, assuming they aren't screaming in pain from the bolt. The poison lasts for two posts and remains in effect even if Valkyrie is switched out for another weapon. Targets with a high POW or SPI score resist this effect better. Notable, if Blood Drinker's active is used on the target while the poison is in effect, Daniel will poison himself and start having feverish hallucinations.
  
  Amusingly, if Daniel hits a target that is vastly inferior to himself and it doesn't die instantly, it may start referring to him as its master or mother. Julian likely infused it with his own hypnotic powers, and while they don't fully manifest against targets with supernatural strength or mind, that diluted effect turns out alarmingly well on weak little humans.
  
  Daniel may only use this ability once per mission due to its intrinsically high cost. Any further uses causes a permanent 10% drain on his POW for the rest of the mission, which can stack up to 100%. If he tried to use the ability after that, he would die from blood deprivation.
  
  Due to the size of the crossbow, it takes one post to actually coat the poison on the bolt. Overall, if he were to try and use it in rapid succession, he would have to wait one post to reload, then another post to coat the poison again.

Blood Drinker: An unusual weapon to be certain, it is a short sword with a red tinge to it. In the dark, it even glows dark red. By itself it holds no real special properties, and Daniel would be better off using Război Ciocan in melee. On the flip side, this is the weapon to be used against the last target in a room, or when committing to an up-close-and-personal assassination. Coincidentally, of his three weapons, this one is the one Julian is most fond of due to its lack of silver or piercing properties. Fancy that!

• Sanguine Embrace: Daniel cuts his hand open as an offering to satiate Julian, and then attempts to plunge the blade into the body of a hapless victim. The stronger the victim, the greater the amount of life force Daniel restores from any wounds he may currently have. Daniel also steals the target's POW stat. If he has damage to his POW stat from Valkyrie's active, it will heal that first. After that anything over and above is excess he gets to keep for two posts before the thrill of stealing someone's life ends.
  
  This does not remove the penalty effect from Blood Price, as that does damage to his agility. It can however heal the damage caused by it.
  
  This can be used each post, but failing to kill someone when used causes this ability to go on cool down for three posts, and will cause Julian pain... Though whether anyone cares if Julian is in pain is up for debate.
  
  There is a cap on the amount of temporary POW Daniel can receive from this ability: 20% of his maximum POW. (At 10 maximum that means he can have up to 2 bonus for 2 posts.)

[Lyzan]

Name: Ramza Losstarot

Appearance: He stands at six foot two, well built and tan with hefty sunburns here and there. A wavy, shoulder length and raven black hair nestle atop his head. He's got grim eyebrows over a pair of fierce brown eyes and a strong but arrogant jawline with a nasty cut under his bearded chin. One side of his face is badly burnt, where his teeth could be seen through webbed cheek and an ear that's melted back. But otherwise, he's rather good looking, at least if seen from an angle.
Ramza's attire is simply a pair of leather armor pants, pair of leather boots and a tattered hooded vest. Myriads of small scars could be seen all over his body if he bears them. And on his back, a permanent mark for his crime, is a distinct feature of an ugly scar deliberately made to look like a tribal tattoo of an inverted feathered wings.

Bio: Born as an orphan but disregarded and abused by his foster parents, Ramza fled the house at the age of seven. He grew up as a thief and slept on the balconies of stranger's homes or in the sewers of the Hub. Breaking into people's home was one of his hobbies and he'll steal anything in exchange for food. He even named himself after a deceased noble man whose name he saw on the front door when he broke in.
Each year, Ramza became bolder and more daring. Running away from authority and doing crazy stunts had rewarded him with a tough physique. But one day, he was caught by a drunkard man who happened to be a retired executioner. The insane man carved a tribal wing on his back as punishment but he knew it was merely an excuse for the sadistic man to torture him, to laugh at him as he struggled under the knife. The fool were too drunk that he couldn't tell the right side up of the boy hence why the scar tattoo was inverted.
When Ramza had fully recovered after months of suffering, he returned to see the executioner and ended up killing the man in his sleep using the same knife that was used to carve over his body. But he discovered that the drive which made him do so was not one of his own. It was as if it was the work of somebody else, or something else rather. All he felt was the hatred burning up within him, the hunger for revenge and the lust for the man's blood. Panicked, he dumped the weapon in the sewers and went into hiding. Well, he had been doing just that for most of his life, only this time round, he kept a low profile.
Soon, Ramza came to hear about the Library and it's Holders. Curiosity led him to learn more about it and he decided to sneak himself in and get himself employed.

Branch: Intelligence - Mercenary
Rank: Team Leader

Holder: (Birth-right)
Spirit: Bahamut, The Dragon King
Personality: Arrogant, quiet, ruthless, observant and a tactician.

Appearance

Weapons/Spells:

Exa Wing-Shield : A red cape in the shape of Bahamut's leather-like wings sprouts out from Ramza's back, either to envelope him whole or by half, acting as a shield. Unable to be used for flying. It's texture & strength absorbs as well as deflects both blunt forces either from a physical attack or that of magic & protects Ramza from receiving damage. However, it is vulnerable to both slicing & piercing attacks. The exterior of the wings is engulfed in flames, inflicting burn effect to attackers and also to those nearby.
(POW influenced)

Active

Exa Wing-Reflect : Ramza's wings hardened and recoils upon impact, reflecting all intended damage back to the caster or attacker with a 1.3 multiplier to their own POW, SPI or AGI (whichever that influences their attack).
Cooldown: 5

Terror Talon : A pair of gauntlets with talons as long as a dagger. Capable of tearing & inflicting fear unto target. Also could be used for climbing & intensed gripping.
(POW influenced)

Active

Incubus's Grasp : Upon activation, the gauntlet would release a dark gas known as the Fear Toxin, inducing involuntary hallucinations in the victims' mind. Have no effect on victim with a +2 POW > Ramza's. A +1 POW > Ramza's have a 50% chance of shaking the effect off. Otherwise, the affected would find themselves in a panic mode, scurrying away from Ramza and attacking anyone else that approaches them, with their skills -in an attempt to flee- even if the person approaching are friendly with the target. Effect lasts for 3 turns.
Duration: 2
Cooldown: 7

Exa Flare : Ramza's head, body & legs simply transforms into that of the Bahamut's & from it's mouth, a non-elemental canon-ball would blast towards the target (single). Dealing non-elemental damage, ignoring defense and deals shove.

(POW, & AGI influenced)

Active

Exa Beam : A highly concentrated blast of non-elemental beam with a radius of SPI in feet, POW + SPI for strength & AGI for range.
(multiple target)
Cooldown: 9

-Details ~ Bahamut's head = helmet, body = body armor & legs = legging armor. The whole thing is a structure to fire the canon only and not for any other uses. Ramza is in fact carrying a huge canon over his back where the muzzle of the canon runs above his head -where the dragon's head is- & fires. His legs & tail acted as the firing platform and shock absorber whereas the body's functions as a recoil. AGI influenced simply because of the time needed to deploy, to aim and then to fire.-

Ahh that makes sense, alright then ^^
Alright, with that in mind, am I good to go on the updated actives then?

Deneaerys Drean

Name: Deneaerys Drean
Appearance:
She does not wear the helm, and she has brilliant blue eyes and black hair.
Outfits one and two:

Bio: Before Deneaerys came to work for the library, she lived on the dregs of society, a nothing and a nobody barely surviving. During this time with her family, she came to be able to see and hear her companion, Dragos. At every turn he would protect her, though not before she learnt her lesson, or got out of any given situation by herself. He was often harsh in his criticisms, but high on the praise when he felt like Deneaerys had earned it. At his urgings, she left her poor family at the age of 15 and joined the Library. 5 years on, she’s still a worker but has learned how to cook, and how to fight and how to use her powers. Despite Dragos' disgust that she chose to go into the culinary branch, he also recognizes that this is something that he could not argue out of, and has come to realize that cooking is an activity that kept them both sane at times. A little bit like her spirit, Deneaerys is a tad feisty and when it's something important to her will fight for what she wants, and as such has tried to keep to herself so as to not get into fights with other members of the hub. However when she is cooking, she is always eager to learn and as such rarely gets angry, although she is famous in her kitchens for having had one or two tantrums, especially as a novice. When she is in the kitchen, Dragos often sits out of the way, watching as they discuss anything and everything from some new fighting technique to the spices she plans on using for the meal she is preparing. She especially enjoys walking during the night sky, imagining what it would be like to fly through it with her own wings.

Branch: Culinary-Mercenary

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Dragon; Dragos. Feisty and ill-tempered and always up for a good fight. About 8 feet tall when all four feet are grounded with a wingspan of about 16 ft tip to tip. Shadowy Silver. Dragos is an older spirit, but by no means the oldest. When Deneaerys can get him to settle down on those rare occasions, she can usually get a story or two out of him, but at other times, he might sit in the corner watching her with fire in his eyes, wanting to go have a good fight. Often times Deneaerys gets exasperated with him, shooing him off into his own realm so that she might peacefully finish what she needs to do without his ire igniting hers. On these times he'll often come sliding back to her calmer and more even tempered, but always refuses to tell her what he got up to.

Weapons/Spells:
1. Dragonic Axe: A large heavy double axe.
[*Active] Cauterizes any major wounds on Deneaerys when used. [SPI *0.9] healing. CD=5
2. Flaming Bidenhänder: a two-handed long sword that is covered in flames when put to use and burns everything that is touched except Deneaerys.
[*Active]The sword may also shoot a single fireball that produces [POW * 0.4] dmg to opponents, DoT four Posts. CD=3
3. Scaled hide: Covers Deneaerys in a thick, scaled hide like armor, shielding her from some damage.
[*Active] Covers completely in flame, protecting Deneaerys and producing [POW *0.8] dmg to opponents. CD=4.

Aderyn Davies

Name: Aderyn Davies
Appearance: Aderyn is about 5’4, weighing about 110 lbs. She has rusty red hair that when it’s down goes to her shoulders, but that is usually up in a ponytail. Her skin is bronze and she has brown eyes. (I have no remember what Victorian-Era people wore so yeah... But she doesn’t wear dresses, they’re bad for moving around in.)
Bio: In the Davies family, Holders are common.
The ability passed down from generation to generation, most members of Aderyn’s family are Holders. Including, obviously, Aderyn herself. She is somewhat of a special case, however, for her spirit is one that has passed down through the generations, last held by her grandmother, who was said to be as fiery as Kreeshael himself. Aderyn would not know the truth of this, however, as her grandmother died before she was born. When Aderyn was born, Kreeshael nigh immediately took her for his own. And so she grew up with her spirit, and eventually found herself in the employ of The Library, like the rest of her family had.
Branch: Intelligence

Holder: Bishop
Spirit: A phoenix named Kreeshael. He has an 18
ft wingspan. Unlike how some phoenixes are portrayed, he is not made of fire, but instead is a bird that can alter the amount of flames in his feathers. He loves sassing Aderyn but is still cooperative, and his influence makes Aderyn randomly set things on fire sometimes.
Spells:

Sunborn’s Fury: A Spell that can only be used during the day, outside and in direct line of sight of the sun. It is greatly weakened but not stopped by clouds. It channels the sun’s light and concentrates it, taking two posts to do so, then releases a huge blast of fire.
(active)Sun’s Edge: Instead of a blast of fire, it creates a wall that remains for four posts. CD: 8

Wings of the Sun: A Spell causing large, ghostly wings made of flames to come out of her back. Cause fire damage if touched by someone else, and permit her to glide short distances or soften a fall. They are 5 ft long each. Can be used in the manner of the Parachute skill.
(active)Flaming Flurry: The Wings separate from her and fly to attack a designated target. Causes lots of fire damage CD: 5

Fiery Retort: A Spell. To use this spell, she must shout an insult at one or more targets. The insult is amplified and causes sonic damage and fire damage. The amount of damage depends on how much it insults the target. Can be used on multiple targets with the risk of failure if one or more are not insulted. If the attack fails, it backfires on Aderyn instead. Variance is over a range of 20, 20 being most damaging to target and anything below 7 not doing damage. Chance is random, loaded based on target’s reaction. If lower than 7, the remainder(out of 20) backfires upon Aderyn.
(active) Sick Burn: a 20% reduction in risk of failure and a 20% increase in damage. CD: 2

Skills: Provoke 3
Binocular 3
Heal 1
(2 points remaining)

Stats: What are your stats, how much POW, SPI and AGI have you got?
POW 3
SPI 10
AGI 7

Other: Imagine everything Aderyn and Kreeshael say in a welsh accent.
