> "I'd rather have him at our side than you."
BURN! BURRRRRRNNNN!!
Feel the burn Hazel. :>.
Ryouta's expression did not change when she compared the two factions within the school, using him as an example. His scowl on her did not deepen. Even when she insinuated that Magi needed to be coddled. He knew there was an unspoken biasness through the way the school worked.
**"That's some very warped view of things you've got."** He shook his head.
Then he slowly let go of the boy to the cleric, careful not to make his injuries worse. When he was asked about his sword, he simply made a wry smile:
**"You've got a lot of breath for someone who had his shoulder broken!"** He chuckled in an attempt to lighten the mood, there was a little evasiveness about it.
Then he turned to the Cleric and nodded.
**"Kindly take good care of ...Hayato? I have to go report this incident."**
Ryouta got up and started walking away towards the exit then the offIces, but not before glancing behind at the girl,
"_**I'd rather have him at our side than you.**_"
"**Combat Block 1-C to infirmary, Combat Block 1-C to infirmary. Requiring post-practice medical attention. Kindly send a Cleric down. Arigato-kozaimas.**"
Ryouta got up and said to the intercom when he saw the boy's shoulder sag unnaturally, his brow furrowed at the girl.
He had seen more than once the young ones overdoing it, the results were ...unpleasant. Mankind was still getting used to Magic, there were some who saw it as a means to power - uncontrolled, reckless power - and nothing more. This girl certainly showed traits of that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"**You COULD have shown more restraint.**" Ryouta reprimanded in a stern, steady voice as he walked closer to the duo, even though they were mid conversation. His crackers left behind. He picked up half of the broken blade that slid near his feet and looked at it.
**"He's a student-"** Then tilted the fRacture towards the girl to show just how much foRce she had used, it was enough to shatter the metal pieces used as weights inside. **"-Not an exbeast."**
He looked at the boy and lent a shoulder to help him stand, helping him hold the other piece of the sword and allowing him to lean on his shoulder when he needed. Ryouta was a tad taller than him so he hunched slightly.
Ryouta winced and bit down harder on his crackers as he watched the girl go for the boy's neck, he shirked backwards as he imagined the result.
"**Crazy woman.**" He commented in perfect english. Surely there was some law against this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryouta let out a relieved puff of air when he saw the boy blocking it, there was a loud crack of wood being splintered that echoed the halls. He was thrown to the ground by the impact though.
But the boy managed to get up, more eager now it seems, to get back at his opponent.
Ryouta slowly resumed his snacking but he shifted closer to the command console that was near the doorway. There was an intercom anyone could use in case of emergencies.
"自慢."
Grunted a student near one of the windows on the second story, he gazed out at the aircraft taking into the air and away - shaking his head as it did so. His eyes kept their gaze on the showoff who walked out of it.
Ryouta Himonaga placed one hand on his cheek, resting his head against the ledge, the wind gently swept his autumn brown hair as he did so. He had skipped the newcomer's welcome speech. Not that he found it boring or was being purposely delinquent, it just did not make any sense since he was not exactly a newcomer anymore. He and his village had moved to AcadeMMO a year ago when their town was ruined, most of them anyway, and it was much more informal than this. Trying to be responsible He still greeted and helped any new lost souls he met, the premises were much larger than what most of them were used to living in, that much he could tell - and with the whole semester beginning, some were bound to loose their way and stumble about.
But no such encounters today.
When the new student walked out of his sight, he lost that moment of interest.
Taking a deep breath, he turned around and watched the incoming horde of unfaRmiliar faces. While he did not know who they were individually, he could tell them apart by the uniforms they wore. Everyone had or eventually will have a unique way to dress eventually, even if they were the same class there will always be differences in the way they fight - and your uniform will show it, no matter how subtle. The most obvious were of course the ones between Magicians and Martialists, He himself wore a Magi's outfit complete with hood and long sleeves. Two symbols sewn in cloth wrapped around his right arm like a crest of sorts, representing class and speciality. There was in the higher band, an octogon with a cross embedded in it's center. The other, a heptacle that was surrounded in mythic symbols. He was a handsome looking individual with rather refIned features, asian in appearance but with dyed hair and a slightly pale skin. Though his wardrobe made him look slimmer, he was not too lanky and managed to keep his posture straight. A noble looking weapon sat at waist level in a highly decorated cover, it seemed like a sword of oriental origins and had an aura of elegance to it.
His eyes wandered fRom face to face, greeting them with a wry smile as they approached, but honestly, it started to feel awkward very quickly. His attention was distracted a neon red glow shortly, to his relief - someone had already begun practicing in the sparring rooms! Taking leave of the window sill, Ryouta briskly and gladly made his way to the arena. Something interesting was about to happen, he could sense it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_**Beep!**_
Was the sound of the glass door as it opened for a new student.
He sauntered to the spectator's seats and found a nice central area where he could see the whole match. There were two students, martialists, they seemed like they were mid-match. He grabbed a packet of rice crackers which he had hidden in his sleeves and began snacking on them as he watched.
_Munch, munch ..._
I look towards posting as well, tnks foR the compliments! :).
Sure, let me think of what else I can change. It is helpful! :)
I'm glad I got the inspiration of this class down.
edit: Changed flash step's MP cost. The details were too long, PM'ed you instead!
**Name:** Ryouta Himonaga
**Age:** 18
**Gender:** Male
**Themesong:** [Fuhen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVbTTuYjZe8)
**Class:** Binder - Mundane
**Appearance:** He appears to be a youth in his late teenage years, one of the more matured students, with an [exquisite weapon](http://kultofathena.com/images%5CAB0314BK_l.jpg) by his hip at all times. It has never been unsheathed in front of human eyes.
Ryouta Himonaga has a relaxed appearance, his dyed autumn hair sways over his eyebrows in dishevelled spikes and the rest of his head is almost always a little messy. He keeps his sideburns longer and they give him a more mellowed appearance. Handsome even, to many people. He is of average height but his Magician's uniform makes him look taller (especially when his hood is up), it denotes him as a capable spellcaster within the academy - a fact that he himself isn't sure of.
Two crests are sewn into his right sleeve, one denoting the nature of his spells, represented by an octogram with a cross within. And another that marks him as a member of the Magical Research Society , a division within the Magi cohort that granted him membership because of the relic he carries.
**History:**
Eyes under the bed. STrange stains on the sidewalk. Doorways to other world in the darkest corners.
These things were news to everyone when the gates to the other side opened, big news. But for Ryouta Himonaga, nothing changed. He always knew the world was a place beyond most people's understanding, that there was a side not many knew about, some even called him 'mental' when he was young. The child who would see things that 'weren't there', hear whispers in the ground and talk to strangers of thin air. But as the japanese saying goes "The nail who stands out must be hammered down." Society eventually had him hide away his secrets and keep them out of the light to appear normal as best as he could, he even managed to go through high school as a slightly popular individual with his good grades.
But then, his town was struck with one of the first few gates. Within nights, the population of Kumagaya had reduced to 30% and those who could not be evacuated in time were barely surviving. It was during this time that in an inspired moment, Ryouta quickly ran to the shrine in the center of town and picked up the old ritual sword, one of the sacred treasures used by their priests once said to ward them from disasters in ancient past. He wielded it, he felt his calling. He went to confront his first opponent.
Like a fIsh to water, Ryouta slayed his fIrst monster. The incantations of old no longer used to bless houses and banish spirits, they were now weapons against a new enemy. The people, now with newfound strength, took back their town and cut down any who stood in their way. The streets became paved with the blood of countless beasts and earned Kumagaya it's new nickname "The Red Village".
When AcadeMMO set up it's establishments, recruiters were sent to the red village and Ryouta, along with many other townsfolk, joined the crusade against these unclean creatures.
Statistics: Ryouta is never in a hurry to go anywhere. In combat he utilizes slow, graceful sidesteps to avoid his opponents and then strikes foRcefully when an opportunity presents itself.
Level - Everyone starts at 1.
HP - 100
MP - 100
Attack - 10
Magic - 20
Speed - 5
Accuracy - 10
Defense - 5
Evasion - 20
Resistance - 10
Spells/Skills:
**Flash Step (1)**- Based on the theorems of geomancy and walking in the old ways, the practitioner traverses many meters in a single illusory step. It has origins from ancient lore and is considered a form of mortal magic, perhaps heightened by the appearance of the gates. Ryouta can only use this while holding a sacred weapon. Requires 10 MP. Maximum of 10 yards movement, improves to 10 meters upon level up.
**Prayer For Calmness (1) **- An incantation rebuking disaster and dispelling hostilities, it is chanted in a forgotten dialect once used by the aseptics to protect homes. Now it binds these vicious spirits that do not belong to this world and weakens them as they are trapped in a grand symbol, till they return to where they came or otherwise. It even works on some people. Requires 10 MP. Pits Magic against Resistance, upon success holds the creature still for 1 minute during which it is considered weakened. The irresistability and amount of targets improves with level up.
Incantation: "Iye yoo yui. No bo meno." In a grand, song-like tone.
**Sacred Sword (1) -** On command, Ryouta's weapon, with sheathe intact, lashes out from a distance to strike down his foe before returning to it's handler. This is an ability of the sword itself and Ryouta is merely one who wields it, he can only control it's movement by pointing. This extraordinary feat has led some to suspect that the blade has a mind of it's own and seeks to destroy evil even when confined. Requires 10 MP. Adds Magic to Attack for a single strike at range. Number of strikes improves with level. This is an inherent ability of anyone who currently holds the sacred weapon's talisman (the red ornament at the hilt is detachable).
Incantation: Anything. Really. As long as Ryouta points towards the target. (He can even do it like Oprah: "And you get a sword! And YOU get a sword!" It will still work. :/)
I left the AI system that the Stargazer is so well-known for, out because I think in Gunpla the pilots will still be controlling their Gundams manually. Unless you want my character to be able to get a cup of tea and sip it while the Gunpla fights on it's own. :X That'd be interesting but ...I don't know.
(Trying to debate between two possible characters that would utilize such a Gundam, I'll write it down once I've decided. :>)

History:
Gunpla Info:
Name: SOLGAZER Gundam
Model number: GPSX-701
Gunpla role: Strategist Tactical-combat Gundam
Gunpla model scale: Normal
Gunpla based from if original: Based on the exploration mobile suit GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam, The Solgazer Gundam retains it's unarmed appearance and seems relatively ill-suited for combat, however since Gunpla is all about battles - experienced players know not to be decieved by it's looks. The Ring on it's back has been slightly modified to catch more waveform energies other than solar wind alone to power it's abilities, now including zero-point energy and Plavsky Radiation. This allows it to function in more environments than merely space. It now displays formulae-like code at the core of it's two contra-rotating rings, some saying it looks like a magic circle. The code is actually encrypted data in a lightform virtual machine that lends the impressive processing power of the Solgazer's to it's allies near it, allowing their radars and AI to perform beyond their limits.
The Solgazer is mainly white and silver, much like the Stargazer. But it's details have been painted red, green and gold (the inner ring) at certain points to give it a more regal, distinctive look.
Armaments: M-71K Phase-Blade: A short-range weapon similar to the beam swords of most gundams, it can be thrown as a make-shift ranged attack but is only done so as a last resort (as the Solgazer only has one other spare).
Special Features:
Voitic Lumiere Light Protection System: Like the Stargazer, the Solgazer too has a variation of the Light propulsion technology. However, it's features have been tuned for creating light pressure constructs from converted energy at a distance, than long-distance movement and exploration. This includes manifesting attacks from irregular angles at range and a powerful charged bursts. In short, for combat.
Nano Machine Repair System: A self healing module that allows repair after sometime without external aid. The Solgazer can transfer a portion of it's nanomachines into another Gundam at close range, restoring a certain degree of function and repairing them gradually.
Waveform Radar Detection System: Unbeguiled by tactics such as GN particle dispersion and cloaking devices, the Solgazer's radar operates on low photon frequencies that remains functioning through them. It can relay it's gathered information to it's allies through an encrypted code, sharing this ability in near range of other allied Gundams.
