Level 12 Sectonia (holding 6 level up) - (0/120) Location: Carnival Town > Minigame 1 Word Count: Less than 750
Sectonia wasn't doing so well much like a lot of the group. There were clear forerunners and losers in something like this, but for Sectonia, she did what she could but it really wasn't going to be anything that let her catch up. Having to heave around a rock was both annoying, and also difficult to do platforming with when she herself was new to platforming in general. And the addition of moving platforms and eventually crumbling platforms made things even more difficult for her. If it wasn't for a few of the others being even less mobile than her, she would probably be doing much, much worse than she was. She wasn't anywhere near the front though.
The crumbling platforms were going to give Sectonia even more trouble than she bargained for, much more as she started them, Bowser had managed to grow big and started to cause a massive wind tunnel in the fishy mines. Something that would affect Sectonia pretty badly as her thrown boulder she used to swing under the platform shifted in the wind tunnel, causing the platform to disintegrate and Sectonia to be in free fall heading towards the source of the wind tunnel, Bowser himself. Of course Bowser would be behind this oddity, but something he'd come to regret pretty quickly as a giant bee the size of his head zoomed at him with her stinger out, being pulled by his vacuum breath. Being quite big and Bowser not paying attention, he'd suck up Sectonia, having his mouth literally full of her bottom half and making him unable to breath. An awkward situation for the both of them, with Sectonia glaring at the koopa king who had to hack and cough to breath again, freeing Sectonia and causing her to drop down with everyone else. If damage had been on, her stinger would've done some serious damage thats for sure.
"You'd better not do that again!" Sectonia said in pure annoyance and a bit of embarrassment. She'd find that at this point trying again would be pointless, and just waited for it to be over with the rest of the people at the bottom of the mines. At least soon afterwards, she had some enjoyment watching Ganondorf and Bowser brawl it out after Bowser tried his inhale trick a second time. Ganondorf was doing her job, so she just let him at it.
Word Count: 1182 EXP: +2 Rapport: Roland / Captain Falcon
They’d been making pretty decent progress, all things considered. Even with his goggles debilitating his vision, Captain Falcon was for the most part able to correct himself. And then it happened. They were nearing what Cap was convinced had to be the end of these mines. He’d even managed to salvage a near-failed jump. Well… almost. His boot slipped on something liquid that was splattered on the platform’s surface. A random fish, yes a fish, which had fallen from a nearby bucket, was on the platform and made the Captain slip.
Either way, he slipped and tumbled right over the edge of the moving platform. And the slickness meant that Roland was unable to properly anchor himself to catch Falcon with the rope they were tethered by. As a result, he was yanked over the edge along with the Captain and they both went tumbling down. Down, down, and down. Pretty much all the way back to the bottom of the mines. All that time and progress, gone.
"Seriously?" Captain Falcon grunted as he pushed himself back to his feet, He then looked around the mines a bit before saying "Fish? The mine is for fish? How does that even work?"
Roland stood up, rubbing his head. ”Ugh. I don’t know. I just hope we don't run into anymore weird fish in strange spots.” Roland said, a bit confused and embarrassed at the whole fish tripping situation, although he had work to do so he wasn't going to show that... and probably forget about it later.
"Well," The Captain said as he cracked his knuckles and neck. "nothing for it, now, I guess. We’re just gonna have to start over." He looked toward the initial platform moving back and forth along its horizontal path. The bright side was that they’d completed many of the jumps before so they at least knew what was coming now. And who knows, maybe they would stumble across a shortcut or some other faster route that they’d missed on the first climb?
Roland nodded since just sitting here wasn’t doing them much good. With the whole blood puddle thing now something to watch out for, the two went to continue their scaling through the mines. As they did, they saw some of the Bowser troop having made it to the mines at last. Although much like Roland and Falcon, they fell trying to do a tricky jump, the girl with large hands trying to do some kind of explosive jump but missing entirely and falling back down.
”Hm… I guess you can do self damage if there isn’t any ‘damage’ going out, however they’re doing that.” Roland said, watching Rika and Kamek tumble back down to where Roland and Falcon were beforehand.
Cap supposed the how’s and why’s of the fish didn’t really matter much in the end. It just meant this was going to be more hazardous than it already was. They were at least better prepared for what was ahead due to this being their second attempt at it. But that also meant they’d fallen behind the leaders and would have really hustle if they wanted any hope of getting back ahead of the pack again. Of course, Falcon’s goggles in the darkness weren’t exactly helping matters. He was having to correct himself more and more often because of it.
"What I wouldn’t give for some sunlight." Cap mused. "I’m guessing these mines have to end at some point. Question is, when?" Then he sniffed the air and waved a hand in front of his nose. "And I could seriously do without the fishy smell in here, too."
Roland only glanced at Falcon before saying. ”You could lift up your goggles and you’d see better.” Roland said, a lot more used to dark environments than Capt. As for the smell, Roland was used to weird smells at this point so he didn’t really think much of it except that maybe they were near an ocean or something, how else would the mine get its fish? ”I can lead the way if you still have trouble seeing in the dark. I think we’re close to the exit, the block cheaters are just ahead of us.”
"And show my face?" Cap asked with genuine confusion, "No no no. I can’t show my face unless I’ve been beaten on the racetracks. That’s always been my rule. Fans love a good mystery after all, and rivals get that much more incensed at being beaten by an unknown stranger!" He added, talking as if it was obvious. "But go on ahead and take the reins, if you like. Let’s see those moves of yours!"
Roland nodded and began his climb, directing the Captain to do loops and whatnot as he saw them, Roland using his own clawed gauntlets to grip onto walls when needed. Still, he wondered how the bigger people would deal with this as he went through, noticing the big bee and turtle down below, the bee just using a rock to swing around and the turtle talking with his family. His name was… Bowser, right. Well, as Cap and Roland moved through the obstacle course ahead, behind and below them Bowser grew large. Roland was very confused as to what he was doing, since while he was large, the platforms kept him in place as he seemingly couldn’t destroy them. But then he began sucking in massive volumes of air…
”Gah, what's this giant monster doing? Is he a sore loser?” Roland said, using his gauntlets to grab onto the platform he was on to hold on while the Giant Bowser was using his vacuum inhale.
"I guess he must be." Cap said with a shrug. If he weren’t currently under Galeem’s influence, then he would have already known about Bowser and his penchant for not playing fair. "I imagine he’ll run out of breath sooner or later, but I don’t think we wanna lose any more time than we already have." Falcon looked around and then said, "We’ll just have to work around it. Keep some kind of barrier in between us and Mr. Vacuum Breath down there."
Roland agreed, but they’d have to wait until he stopped, holding on while he was sucking. At least Roland had some of his weapons he could use to hold himself and Cap on the platform. In a way they were also cheating, but it was a lot, lot more fair than the pair that was making their own platforms.
When Bowser had to stop to take a breath, that's when Roland and the Cap moved, getting something done and getting into a good position before Bowser started again. They moved through the mines doing this at least until something stopped the suction entirely. He wasn’t sure what caused that, but it let them progress out of the mines near the lead as many of the others couldn’t handle the suction.
Level 11 Sectonia (holding 5 level up) - (109/110) Location: Carnival Town > Minigame 1 Word Count: Less than 750
Sectonia wasn't sure what to expect from the first minigame. She also ended up at the end of the day being the odd one out for this one that involved moving through platforms in some obstacle course. She figured that since she could fly, someone would be interested but it seemed that wasn't the case. And with that, unlike the others being tied to each other, Sectonia was tied to a rock. She also found that... perhaps she wasn't chosen because the others understood this game and its limitations better than she did as she found that she couldn't really fly, just lazily glide with Blazermate having the same problem, although she ended up having her own problem needing to carry the weight of Bowser which Sectonia wondered if she could even do if it wasn't for the special magic of this area.
Never needing to 'platform' before, especially with this 'handicap' on her, Sectonia didn't get a very good start. A lot of the more humanoid allies meanwhile made their way through the course at various methods of progression with a few of them actually even cheating using some abiltiies. That was annoying, since she found that she couldn't use any of hers. She did find though, that, after learning to 'jump' by flapping her wings for a down burst, she could platform like the others. But by the time she figured that out, she was pretty much left in the dust besides a few others that were as slow as she was at the moment. Even her fellow heavyweight Bowser had managed to make a fair amount of progress!
What was worse, once she got to the platform area itself she saw a few people struggle with, the use of her rock eventually became apparent. She had to throw it and use it as an anchor to flip herself to the other platform. The good news with this, this was all part of her own skill. The downside, she had never done any of this stuff before while others were speeding through this. So she made a bit of a fool of herself falling off the platform a couple times before she figured it out, with the swing on her side being a bit strange since she couldn't really fly. At least her wings let her descend gracefully when she failed unlike a few of the others...
At least once she learned how to do something, she continued onward getting back to the spot where she fell. Her next point of contention after the platforms was the rock swing. Sectonia was pretty far in the back at this point getting used to everything, and this underhook swing really didn't do her any favors. It took her a bit hanging onto the wall before she got her makeshift grappling hook to latch onto the next platform and she could continue, Sectonia getting more embarrassed at all the vigorous swinging she had to do with this stupid rock. At least the others were more focused on their own progress instead of observing her but that didn't make things less akward. At least with the slow moving platforms, she didn't have as many qualms about them as a few of the others, although once she got into the caves, she saw just how far back she was as she saw the red light of Roxas's cubes momentarily illuminating the mines far, far above where she was. She was at least further along than Goldweis and Sandalphon, who were still far behind. But she had only managed to catch up to Bowser, Blazermate, Kamek, and Rika, whom also hadn't managed to continue that far ahead.
Well... there was nothing to do but push past them while they were talking amongst themselves, Sectonia able to see in the darkness of the caves fairly well all things considered. That didn't help her though when the next jump messed her up and she had to redo the whole section over again...
Now wears a suffering face as a shield on her left arm. Now has glasses and a crystal on her chest, and her backpack is now a medipack. Wears a kimono that goes down to her knees.
While having a fairly kind and supportive demur, Blazermate is aggressive and is raring to go for a fight if it presents itself. While not afraid to fight face to face, she isn't stupid and will tend to put the ally shes healing in between herself and the enemy. Outside of fighting shes cutesy and flirty, but blunt and can get annoyed quickly if things aren't going anywhere. If things are going places however, shes fine with being a bit aloof.
Blazermate is a champion of Medabots, winning tournament after tournament and sometimes aiding another hero defeat a criminal organization if they were able to defeat her in combat. Although finding and defeating her was a problem in on itself, as she was the strongest of the -mate line of Medabots.
When Blazermate was on her way to the Medabot World Tournament when out of nowhere a blindingly bright light engulffed everyone including herself. Where she awoke would be a totally new place for her, and another world threat would have to be defeated, as soon she'd find out.
Blazermate has been one of the longest lasting Seekers of the group. She has been involved in all but the Under and Desert guardian kills. She often has little agency of her own by choice, preferring to go with the flow and try to make friends with everyone. This has backfired when she has recruited villains to join the seekers on occasion. She tends to not let anything get her down and is cold to seeing death around her, even if she tries to keep everyone alive.
Job: Ramp Up Healer/Support Specialty: Blazermate can heal, cleanse debuffs, and empower her and her allies with strong abilities or guard them with a shield. She can also hit hard in a pinch.
Repair tools, Short Circuit, Pokeball x1 Resist all Medal, Fortify Medal, Leaf Cloak Medal, Purgatory
Lv: 13 (Holding 2 level up) EXP: 33/130
• Medi-beam (Right Arm) - A beam Blazermate attaches to an ally, healing them over time as long as the beam is attached. Blazermate can also heal herself with this ability. • Revive Protocol (Right Arm) - Blazermate can focus her healing beam to remove a negative debuff or CC effect such as stun, sleep, burning, or the like from her healing target. While cleansing the debuff, her healing beam isn't healing the target's HP. • Medaforce (Medal) - Blazermate can tap into the Medaforce, a mystical power that comes from her Rare Medal. This can take many forms and can be used by other spirits. Its initial form is Medaforce Beam which uses 90% of her medaforce to fire a powerful beam that heals her for whatever damage it deals. This beam does very little damage to anything without a life force. • Ubercharge (Head) - (Robot Medic) Blazermate can spend Medaforce energy to turn an ally and herself completely invulnerable for 12 seconds for 100% of her medaforce. Knockback can still affect both her and her ally, but everything else is ineffective. • Kritzkrieg (Head) - (Robot Medic) This ability uses 25% less medaforce than an Uber and only 15% more than a Medaforce beam. With this ability, both Blazermate and her healing patient gain 12 seconds of Kritz, which triple the damage of any attacks, make them work at their maximum efficiency, makes those attacks deal "critical" damage which can bypass resistances, and makes these attacks do the same amount of damage regardless of range. • Projectile Shield (Right Arm) - (Robot Medic) Blazermate gains shield charge by ally damage or healing allies. When fully charged Blazermate can deploy a large shield in front of her that covers the front 180^ 2 feet in front of her. This shield deletes all physical projectiles under the size of a breadbox, blocking explosives, and drastically slows down and potentially deleting larger projectiles. Any enemy that tries to pass through the shield is slowed drastically and is constantly taking heavy damage, disintegrating if they die to the shield. The shield does not hinder allies at all. The shield can block melee attacks that don't pass through the shield. Fire, Gas, and some magical effects will bypass the shield. The shield is incredibly durable but can break if enough damage is absorbed. the shield lasts 12 seconds, flickering at the last 3 seconds to show the shield is coming down. • Ubersaw (Right Arm) - (Robot Medic) Blazermate can swap her healing arm out for an ubersaw arm, which allows her to collect uber/medaforce by meleeing enemies with it. Blazermate gains 15% medaforce per melee hit. However the weapon is a bit awkward to use, so Blazermate has to swing precisely with it, which makes it a bit slower than her actual fists and while its out, Blazermate can't heal with Medi Beam. • Healing Drones (Head) - (Ingraham) Blazermate deploys healing drones whenever she flies that go around and heal her allies with minimal input required from her. However these healing drones can't apply Ubercharge, Krtiz, or other uber spending abilities and can be destroyed, rendering them inoperable for that battle. • Arm Shield (Left Arm) - (Suffering) Blazermate has a shield on her left arm with its own animated face. This shield acts like any shield, but also allows her to control lesser undead as she pleases and can additionally mutate them. It can unleash a powerful scream to stun those around Blazermate for a short time, and it can be used to bite an enemy to infect them with an undead plague that will turn them into a zombie upon death if killed recently instead of a spirit. Should the undead be slain, it will turn into the spirit it was supposed to. • Disseminate (Left Arm) - (Shadow Demon) Allows Blazermate to place a curse on a target for 6s that causes nearby enemies to also take 25% of the damage taken by the target. • Disruption (Left Arm) - (Shadow Demon) Blazermate can use this on an ally or enemy within 10m, banishing them from the battlefield for 3 seconds, making them invulnerable but unable to act. While banished, whatever is banished has their positive buff durations paused, while debuffs will still tick down. When they return, 2 illusions will spawn alongside them that last 14 seconds that deal 60% of their physical damage under Blazermate's control. Illusions take triple damage. 20 second cooldown. • Leap of Faith (Right Arm) - (Anduin (hots)) Blazermate can pull an ally in line of sight to the host's side, negating crowd control effects en route. 70 second cooldown and 2% medaforce cost between uses. • Divine Star (Right Arm) - (Anduin (hots)) Blazermate fires out a thin bolt of light in front of her. This bolt damages and pierces through enemies that it hits. When it goes 20m, it grows into a wave 10 times bigger than the bolt and returns back to Blazermate, homing in onto her. This heals any allies it passes by including Blazermate with how much it heals on return increased by 25% for every person that gets healed by it. 10 second cooldown. • Holy Word : Salvation (Right Arm) - (Anduin (hots)) Blazermate raises her hand to the sky and conjures a large, bright dome with a radius of 5m. Blazermate and every ally within the dome is immune to all damage while the dome is up (But no other effects such as crowd control, debuffs, or the like), and heal 30% of their hp over the dome's 3 second channeled duration. 80 second cooldown.
• Medabot - Medabots are combat robots. A robotic body means that Blazermate doesn't need to eat, sleep, breath, can survive in most extreme conditions and environments, is immune to poison, disease and being lit on fire, and has greater strength and durability than her frame would have you believe. Medabots also have a built in infinite energy engine that means they can't get tired, never run out of power, never need to recharge, and can use their abilities at their fullest unless damaged. The engine is mystical in nature, as medabots do not run on electricity. Due to being a medabot, spirits affect her differently and tend to act like Parts than full fusions. • Scan (Head) - Blazermate passively analyzes her opponents or allies and is aware of how healthy or damaged they are, and of any weak points she can exploit. Allies can see these weak points visually. Additionally counteracts enemy stealth to a degree. • Flight (Head) - Blazermate can freely fly around thanks to her jet turbines and carry medium sized targets with her, although carrying someone with her reduces her air speed. • Advanced Healing (Medal) - (Robot Medic) Blazermate has fully adapted to the Medigun and its healing powers. - She has a slightly increased base rate of healing. - She now heals people faster if they haven't been injured recently. If they haven't been injured in the last 15 seconds her healing rate is doubled, and its tripled if they haven't been injured in the last 20 seconds. - Blazermate can Overheal people up to 50% of their max HP, generating Uber and proccing healing effects while doing so. This overheal rapidly decays lineally over 15 seconds if the person isn't being actively healed by a Dispenser or Medi-beam. - Blazermate now matches the movement speed of whoever she is healing if they are faster than her. However she still has to actively use this speed. • Robot Strength (Medal) - (The Maw) Blazermate has greatly enhanced strength from ferrying everyone around the Maw. • Resist All Medal - (Item) Blazermate has a 50% resistance to all crowd control effects. • Leaf Cloak Medal - (Item) Blazermate is less likely to be targeted as long as she isn't in the frontline. • Fortify Medal - (Item) Blazermate gives whoever she is healing a very slight defense bonus. • Purgatory - (Item) While Blazermate is in combat, red cracks appear on the battlefield. IF she touches one, a vengeful ghost appears out of the crack and rushes at the closest enemy, chasing them down and exploding upon touching them or another enemy. The crack will then reappear somewhere else on the battlefield.
• Lightweight - Blazermate's ability to fly and glide due to her light frame also make her quite easy to knock around. • Mechanical Lifeform - Since Blazermate is mechanical in nature, she sticks to magnets, and can't use food items or drugs or anything that requires an organic body at all. • Part Compartmentalization - Spirits and abilities Blazermate uses are contained to her various parts. If a part is damaged enough to shut down, Blazermate loses access to all of those abilities until that part is repaired or healed. Likewise, if the part is damaged, the abilities of that part will be reduced in effectiveness when the part is under 35% of its durability. • Corrupt Data (Fixed) (The Suffering) - Blazermate has difficulty with fine tasks regarding the arm, makes her more susceptible to demonic suggestion, and makes her a bit more uncaring or sadistic. • Back Vulnerability (Robo Medic) - Blazermate takes bonus damage if attacked from behind. • Afraid of the Dark - (The Maw) Blazermate hates dark places due to her experience in the Maw. • Wheres my Glasses? (Fixed) (Ingraham) - Blazermate has lower perception without wearing glasses. • No Escape (Shadow Demon) - Weakens the distance traveled and boosting the resource consumption of movement abilities. • Good Things Come to Those who Wait (Anduin) - This increases the casting time on support abilities (or, providing a ramp-up of benefits over time for channeled ones)
Spirits:
The Engineer - Blazermate can manifest the TF2 Engineer, who can repair or create objects within his field of expertise or deploy and repair his buildings below. • Sentry Gun - An automated gun that can be used as cover. Fires at the closest enemy. Does more damage and has more hp as it levels up, and has rockets at level 3. • Teleporter - Has both an entrance and an exit. Both buildings can link and teleport to each other.. Upgrading this building decreases its charge time and increases its hp. If an enemy is sitting on top of the exit and is teleported onto, they take insane damage even if they would normally be invincible. • Dispenser - A building that heals anyone nearby and acts as a crafting station, allowing those with crafting know how to turn scrap or other materials into what they need without needing the required tools; such as a workbench, alchemy lab, ext...
Senator Steven Armstrong A nigh-unstoppable powerhouse wielding superhuman brawn. His attacks, even his grab, are all armored and cannot be intercepted by normal attacks or projectiles. He can perform two massive advancing hook punches, a headbutt that can cause stun, a football kick with high launch power, a running bear grab with reduced turning ability, and a ground pound that causes delayed explosive cracks. The damage transferred to his host is also reduced due to nanomachines. However, Armstrong has a long cooldown to compensate
The Suffering - Undead Controller Robo Medic - Team Healer Ingraham - Drone Healer Abyssal Sun Princess - Commander Shadow Demon - Support Disabler Anduin (Heroes of the Storm) - Support Healer
Rika - 3/5 D Blazermate sparred with Rika in smashville. She views Rika as a novice combatant. Bowser - 3/5 D While Blazermate has been with Bowser the longest, the two haven't really had much 1 on 1 time. Blazermate likes to ride on Bowser and holds him in high regard. She assumes he likes to be a punk by calling himself bad all the time, but views him as a giant teddy bear. She does dislike how he adopts basically every kid he comes across and wonders if hes so nice to her because she views her as his kid. Kamek - 1/5 D Blazermate sees Kamek as the brains of the koopa family, although she isn't too sure what hes into. He seems to act like a grandparent to everyone else. Sectonia - 1/5 D Blazermate likes how pretty Sectonia is and doesn't really care about her haughty demenour. Her actions in combat speak very different volumes to her speech.
==============
Name: Queen Sectonia
Origin: Kirby Triple Deluxe
All of her gold on her body, including her wings, has become platinum. Her crown now looks like it did in her previous form, but with the 3 spikes instead fanning inwards until they meet, with a green skull gemstone in the middle of her crown. Her eyes have an inner shine like sunlight in them, and her mouth is jagged and shadowy when opened. Her hands now look like claws, with her wrists looking like frilly cufflinks. Her neck fluff is now fluffier and looks of a higher quality. All the hearts on her armor are now made out of a pink crystal, with her breastplate looking more like armor and her shoulders being covered in pauldrons. Her waist has widened a bit, making her less like a wasp and giving her a bit more 'shape' as her top half looks a bit more draconic. Her stinger is longer and made of a mix of marble and platinum. Finally her wings are now platinum as well, with the space between her wings being filled by a starry, shadowy looking membrane as star sparkles pulse through her wings. Her wings now ending in more sharp points instead of rounded ones looking more like a fusion of insect and draconic.
Sectonia is a vain, haughty, regal lady who believes herself to be the ruler of all things beautiful, and that all things should become as beautiful as she is. She loves objects of beauty, such as gold, flowers, and power. She will attempt to make something she finds ugly beautiful than outright destroy it, since at this point she hasn't been driven completely mad by the mirror. Thus while being haughty, there is almost a gentle touch about it. Well, unless your an enemy, then your more her plaything.
A self proclaimed Queen of Popstar, or more formally the realm of Floralia (Soon to be popstar, once the Dreamstalk is complete and the Star Warrior is taken out of the picture.). Sectonia is a powerful mage obsessed with beauty, of both herself and those around her.
While gazing into the magic mirror found on Popstar by one of her minions, admiring her own beauty as her servants started to develop and plant the Dreamstalk. One day a bright glare erupted from the sky, blinding Sectonia as it reflected off the mirror as she and her world was engulfed by the light of Galeem.
Sectonia was found in a strange spot, a kingdom of the undead as a trophy. She soon joined the Seekers and has been accumulating power while journeying with them. While she is weary of a couple of them, she tries to keep them looking prim and proper. She tends to support the others who act like the frontline with her spells and aura effects and supports with her minions as well. She doesn't make friends easy as many view her regallity with scorn, something she has ignored so far as her allies still listen to her rule. She has absorbed one of the Guardians, the Radiance.
Job: Brawler Sorcerer Specialty: Sectonia can identify and cast powerful spells and magic without much difficulty. She is quite durable and will swap to melee from time to time to recharge her mana when out of it. She often summons minions to aid her in battle.

Lv: 12 (holding 4 level ups) EXP: (10/120)
• Blink - Sectonia can teleport short distances in rapid succession. While using blink, a purple after image is left behind for half a second in the position she teleported from. •
- Sectonia can summon Antlers, minions of hers that are bug like creatures. She can summon Blue, Green, Red, and GoldAghs. These are fully under Sectonia's control and listen to her unconditionally, even giving their lives if ordered to. They are magical constructs and have limited autonomy if commanded to do complex tasks.
Blue - (Limit 5) The smallest antlers, they have weak melee attacks but control over ice and frost magic. They can freeze things solid using their ice mist. Has low HP but is fast. Green - (Limit 4) The medium antler. they have moderate melee attacks and control over electrical magic. They fire chains of lightning or balls of lightning. Has moderate hp and speed. Red - (Limit 3) The large antler. they have fairly decent melee damage, a shield that lets them block weak attacks, and power over Fire magic often in the form of a flamethrower that comes from their shield. high hp, moderate defense, and slow. GoldAghs - (Limit 2) The largest antler. they have high melee damage, a strong shield and are nearly immovable. If nothing is in melee range they can cast arcane magic in the form of orbs, but will prefer their melee attacks. Very high HP, high defense, and very slow.
• Divine Lightning - Sectonia can conjure blasts of lightning and manipulate lightning type magic. Lightning blasts are tinted with dark magic, and look purple. • Rings of Light - Sectonia summons magical ornate rings of light. She uses them like buzzsaws, either having them rotate around herself or throwing them like projectiles. Sectonia can conjure and fire up to 2 large light discs at once, or 6 smaller ones. The larger the disc, the slower it is but the more destructive it is. These discs have decent range. Smaller discs will dissipate upon impact, while larger discs will keep going through enemies until they hit a large enough hard object or reach their maximum range. • Summoning Portals - Sectonia waves her hands above her head and summons up to 5 summoning portals in one cast. Summoning portals has a short cast time and each portal can only summon one thing. These portals can summon anything under her command or in her possession, including her minions, objects, her own spells, Strikers, abilities gained from other spirits, or even herself. The more portals she summons, the smaller the portals will be and the smaller the object, minion, or spell has to be in order to fit through the portal. Portals can be summoned within Sectonia's line of sight and can summon anything of hers from anywhere. Portals used to summon Sectonia herself can be made outside her line of sight if someone invokes her name and asks to summon her. She will know who invoked to summon her and she can refuse to make portals in these cases.
• Dark Globule - (Count Bleck) Sectonia launches a globe of void energy from her staff or hands. This projectile can't be defended against and pierces all resistances. • Time Dilation - (Count Bleck) Sectonia can distort the flow of time in a localized area, either slowing down foes or speeding herself or allies up. Slow halves speed of the foe or area, haste doubles the speed of the ally or area. • Chaos Heart (Defense) - (Count Bleck) Sectonia's Defense and resistance to Darkness and Void based effects is greatly increased. Sectonia can place a defensive buff on herself or allies that reduces the damage they take and absorbs the damage they would take until it expires. If the buff is used on Sectonia herself, the effect is amplified. • Chaos Heart (Offense)/(Spacial Shatter) - (Count Bleck) Sectonia has awakened to the offensive powers of the chaos heart. This allows her to control and manipulate Void energy and rip a hole in space-time/reality. This ability needs some time to charge and grows in power and size the longer its charged. When unleashed, the spacial rip is nearly instantaneous and the damage bypasses most defenses. Afterwords, the area is left as a white void for awhile. • Unforgotten Rays - (Radiance) Fires off targeting lasers that become large light beams after a short delay, • Unforgotten Blades - (Radiance) Create vertical or horizontal lines of pure nails either cropping up from the ground or traveling through the air for a set distance. • Unforgotten Smite - (Radiance) Call down a heavy pillar of light that can hunt down its target slowly. • Crystalline Knight - (Agate) Allows the host to manifest a large, double-bladed gemstone greataxe.

• Combat Flight - Sectonia can fly, fly well, fly fast, and very easily change direction in the air. Especially for someone her size. • Powerful Mage - Sectonia has a very high affinity for and familiarity with magic. She can detect its usage and even identify magic in use, discerning its effects. She exhibits a great deal of control over her own mastered spells, including potency, direction, and precision. • Regal Toughness - Due to her size and power, even though you wouldn't think someone like her would be tough, Sectonia is extremely tough and can take quite a lot of damage. Likewise as she takes damage, she still keeps up her regal/royal appearance and look until she is heavily damaged. This will make it look like attacks aren't doing anything at all. Things that can actually see damage/health will know shes taking damage however.
• Pipe of Insight - (Item) Sectonia passively takes 40% less magic damage and regenerates hp, while emitting an aura that gives lesser effects to her nearby allies. She can activate the pipe every 60 seconds to create a magical absorb shield around herself and her allies that will absorb a fair amount of magical damage. • N'kuhana's Opinion - (Item) (Smelted) If Sectonia recovers her entire healthbar either by healing or regeneration, she fires a homing green skull projectile passively that targets the closest enemy and deals heavy damage. • Omen Mask - (Item) All of Sectonia's projectiles are tripled when fired. • Moon Shard - (Item) (Smelted) Sectonia has 40% increased attack speed and more night vision. • Symbol of Avarice - (Item) Sectonia has a helmet that looks like a mimic she is unable to wear.

In addition to being harder to dodge and harder to hit, they also move 40% faster. • Brain Worm - (Item) (Smelted) if Sectonia isn't too close to the target, will caused missed projectiles to hook 90-degree turns to try and hit the instant said projectiles pass perpendicular to the missed target. This can happen once per projectile • Flat Worm - (Item) (Smelted) Increased the width of projectiles and spells, giving them an oblong shape that makes them easier to hit with • Agh's Scepter - (Item) (Smelted) A legendary scepter that upgrades a power.

This bypasses spell immunity, but can be reduced by spell resistance. Stronger category spirits have some innate resistance to this ability.
• Air bound - Sectonia doesn't have legs or limbs in general, so she stays airborn unless sleeping. While this doesn't affect her stamina, it does mean she has a difficult time doing anything that requires being on the ground. This also makes her less resistant to knockback like effects. • Haughty - Sectonia has a through distaste for things that aren't beautiful, and is only interested in beautiful things herself. • Large Frame - Sectonia is much, much larger than most other characters and is much easier to hit. • Defense Down - (Count Bleck) Sectonia takes 15% more damage from all sources. • Omen Mask - (Omen Mask) Sectonia's projectiles follow many random patterns when cloned.

For every meter she is above the ground, any spellcasting she does using her own power is 25% more taxing on her stamina reserves (externally furled casting such as chaos heart magic is exempt). • Earthbane - (Agate) Gives Sectonia an inherent elemental weakness (50%) to electricity and causing her to count as 'earth/ground' for the purpose of additional elemental reactions. • Archetypal Enemy - Causes Sectonia to hate (and take more damage from) darkness. • Critical Darkbane - increases the damage received from dark-type attacks by 50% • Danger Close - decreasing the travel speed of all projectiles by 35%

Midna 15/20 - B Surprisingly Sectonia and Midna have a fairly similar view on ruling an empire. Sectonia cares more for aesthetics than Midna and has much more experience than her, and views Midna as an apprentice. Although Sectonia thinks Midna could make herself look much more beautiful, she views Midna has someone to give part of her kingdom to rule under her when she takes over this World of Light.
===================================
Name: Roland "The Black Silence"
Game Origin: Library of Ruina
Appearance:
Roland is overall a good natured man. He as a casual and relaxed denouement which is shown in his attempt to make friends with those who he has to work with and make connections with them, although this can lead to conflict as well. It can be very difficult to tell if this is genuine or not however, as he tends to mislead or obfuscate what he actually knows or what his goals are if they aren't surface level. Even so, he will at least say half truths and wont lie outright. He hates those that gain enjoyment in making others lives miserable, but unless brought into conflict with those people he will work with them willingly as a professional as its "just the way of the city."; this also includes potentially harming those he once called friend if his employer brings the two into conflict and he has enough incentive to do so. Roland is dismissive of bad or good things happening to him or done by him, using the phrase "That's that and this is this.", tending to stay in the moment.
Roland was once a high grade fixer of The City, hired police from a continent sized city. Those that lived in the city were forced into a cycle of pain and suffering to benefit their cruel overlords, and Roland was no exception. One day he would find himself inside what could only be described as a magical library and forced to work there to gather books for the library. This often involved fighting those who entered the library seeking knowledge turning them into books. Eventually after these adventures, he would find this library to be his home and enjoyed the company of those who resided in it. At least until a bright flash, similar the light of the library itself, whisked him away to the World of Light.
Roland has recently joined the Seekers after being a turk under the command of Shinra in Midgar. He is still getting used to the group and this new world which is way, WAY better than his old world.
Job: Color Fixer (Patron Librarian) Specialty: Roland starts fights off weaker than most, but gains great power as he fights and his emotions heighten. He uses the powers of the library to augment himself.
Durendel (named longsword), Shotgun, Clubs, Hammers, Daggers, Shortswords, Greatsword. Hand Crossbow, Special Pistol,
Item obtained: X-Baton The standard-issue cutting-edge weapon of the Neuron police taskforce. Made in part with matter from the Astral Plane, it is capable of damaging Gates, chimeras, and so forth even in the hands of someone who can't see them, and it can also transform. Its standard telescopic baton form is well-suited to quick, dextrous melee attacks that compliment hand-to-hand techniques. Its blaster form can release bursts of blue bolts, either in sequence or as a shotgun blast, as well as large projectile orbs. This adaptability and range comes at the cost of low damage, pretty high spread, and below-average projectile speed. Its gladius form is a heavy one-sided greatsword that can deal lots of damage with its slow swings
Robosaurus Hunter Bundle A full suit of futuristic armor modeled after the apex predators of the ancient past. It provides solid defense and limited EVA operations, as well as better defense against electricity, heat, and dark/void attacks
Level: 6 Experience: 8/60
• Gloves of the Black Silence: Roland's gloves are special and unique making anything he does in combat be completely silent, with only weapon attacks that connect leaving a distorted 'underwater' sound effect for everyone but the person being hit, who will hear it as normal. These gloves act like a pocket space, allowing Roland to store and withdraw items at will including weapons. Weapons drawn in this method are fully loaded and prepared to use if they would have any kind of arming or reload needed as long as he possesses the ammunition needed for them. • Counter: After making his attacks, Roland will automatically counter the next attack or combo attack directed at him with his currently held weapon. If Roland overpowers the attack with his counterattack, he will nullify the enemy attack and deal damage to them as if he had attacked them with a basic swipe of that weapon. If the attack matches Roland's in power, both the attack and counter are nullified. If the attack is stronger than Roland's counter, his counter is nullified and he takes the attack's damage as normal. Ranged attacks work the same way, but Roland will not deal damage if his counter is stronger.
Once Roland has countered that single attack or combo attack, he no longer has Counter until his next round of attacks.
• Furioso After using 9 different weapons, Roland can use this ability. He preforms a long, quick combo swapping between all 9 weapons he has used, striking once with each weapon. Each weapon deals 25% of its actual damage and may proc any other effects it has on its own proc chance. When being used to clash, the combined damage of all MELEE weapons used by furioso is what is clashed with, and if Roland wins the clash, he cancels out the entire attack he clashed with. Win, draw, or lose the clash, Furioso is used and another 9 different weapons must be used before he can use it again. EGO do not count towards Furioso.
• Ink Swell - (Grimstroke) Allows Roland to place an inky shroud on himself or an ally that automatically lashes out at nearby enemies while boosting movement speed. After five seconds the shroud detonates in a small area that deal damages and briefly stun nearby enemies
• Phantom's Embrace - (Grimstroke) Roland summons a phantom that quickly moves towards a target of his choice within 10m, latching onto it when she arrives. Once latched the phantom damages and silences the target while attached. If the phantom lasts its full 5 second duration, she deals heavy damage as she rends the target and returns to Roland, resetting the cooldown of this ability. Enemies can attack and destroy the phantom, ending the effect on them if they manage to kill it. Notable spirits and above deal triple damage to the phantom. It takes 9 attacks to destroy the phantom. 36 second cooldown.

Lamp (Mass): The room goes dark and a single light breaks the darkness. This deals below average damage to all enemies and they can't benefit from buffs. The area turns into a dark forest with a bright yellow light. Justitia: Roland forces an enemy to confront their sins. Deals very heavy damage that bypasses resistances, however the initial hit is moderate. The area turns into a dark forest with a bright yellow light. Beak: Roland punishes opponents with a beak-like weapon, dealing low damage and increasing his strength by 20%. The area turns into a dark forest with a bright yellow light. Twilight (Mass): Roland attacks all enemies with bolts of twilight coming from Apocalypse Bird. Deals moderate damage and slows enemies by 10%. The area turns into a very dark forest with almost no light, with the only light emitting from a large creature looking over the battlefield. Apocalypse (Mass): Roland summons the mighty claw of the Apocalypse Bird that slams down, crushing a group of enemies and dealing heavy damage. This damage is increased if the enemies have low health and if Roland has high health. The area turns into a very dark forest with almost no light, with the only light emitting from a large creature looking over the battlefield.
• Emotion Level: Roland starts a fight at 0 emotion level, going up to 5. Roland gains emotion level when he clashes his attacks against enemy attacks. Roland must clash 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 times win or lose for each level relatively. Emotion based effects and attacks can modify Roland's emotion level as well, however Roland can never lose emotion levels in a fight. Each time his emotion level goes up, Roland gets 10% stronger, faster and more powerful. Other abilities are tied to this directly. Roland's emotion level resets to 0 if there is a rest period between battles. • Distortion Mask: The mask Roland wears in combat distorts the perception of foes. This makes it more difficult for enemies to notice him and easier for them to forget he is even involved in the battle. Enemies he fights will not remember he was fighting them after a fight. • The Black Silence: Roland has honed and augmented himself for years to become one of the strongest fixers in the City, a Color fixer named The Black Silence. Roland has superhuman reflexes, agility, and skill with higher than average strength. He is incredibly proficient with all types of weapons both melee and ranged and can learn how to use new weapons instinctively. Roland can deflect small ranged attacks if his currently drawn melee weapon attack is stronger than them. Finally, Roland has seen horrific things no mortal is meant to see, making him immune to horrific things, cognitohazards, and other such memory altering, fear, stress, or insanity causing mental effects. •
Booking When Roland is involved in a fight and him or his allies defeat an enemy, instead of turning into a spirit, page-like will o wisps envelop their spirit and turn them into a book instead. Books act like spirits in most regards; you can absorb them or crush/destroy them like any spirit. The differences being,
Books do not expire on their own.
Books can be read to get an understanding of the booked person's personal history and dreams
Books will be fancier based on the rank of the spirit.
If a foe is defeated that is a composite of multiple spirits, each spirit will split from the main foe and form their own, damaged, books. Damaged books act like normal books, but have some information missing or a fewer choice of items. The main foe will form into a book as normal.
Books can be 'burned' to retrieve items from the spirit instead of being destroyed like a normal spirit, with the item being a choice of equipment the spirit used/wielded instead of a random item.
A resurrection spell can be cast upon the book to revive the spirited person. This can only be done once and if defeated again, they will not turn into books.
Guardians can not be booked.
• Slow Start: Roland is weaker than other combatants when starting out a fight, getting to roughly the level of opponents around emotion level 2, 3, or 4 based on their strength, with bosses possibly being stronger than even 5. • Mental Weakness: Roland is weak to psionic attacks or attacks of the mind, especially ones that stir up negative emotions in him thanks to the horrors hes seen. He is also weak to anything that can force him to 'swap sides'. • Stagger: As Roland takes damage, he loses mental fortitude. When it bottoms out, he is stunned for a moment and takes double damage from all attacks while in this state. When he recovers, his mental fortitude is fully restored. Roland can regain some of this mental fortitude by evading enemy attacks. • Weak Early Game: (Kassadin) Roland starts every battle with a 20% mobility and defense penalty that decays to 0% over 30s • Glass Cannon: (Grimstroke) Decreases max health, physical defense, and magical resistance by 10%.
Level 5 Roland - (36/50) Level 13 Blazermate (Holding 5 level up) - (14/130) Location: Carnival Town Word Count: Less than 750
Hearing about the minigames, Blazermate was super happy to participate. It was about time they had some competitions that weren't fights! Well, competition was fighting, but... not like punching people or anything! Well ok there was boxing but... While Blazermate was struggling with her excitement, Roland watched the bot fidget a bit and raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything else about it. Out of everyone, he was one of the ones that was the most apprehensive about this whole 'mini game' thing. He didn't feel like he had much of a choice though, with the rest of this group all going in to deal with these things, so he decided to join with a sigh. Unlike Sectonia, Ganondorf, or to a lesser extent Blazermate, the coins weren't on his mind. He still hadn't adopted to a world that was... frankly way better than what he came from and it'd take him a very long time to adjust.
Looking at Captain Falcon, Blazermate only asked "So, is he from a sentai anime or something? Something about him seems familiar." She then scratched her chin for a bit before shaking her head. "Nope, don't recognize him. I like his enthusiasm though!" with Roland saying. "Well... He lives here it seems so I guess this is how he relaxes? Good for us though. Maybe we can have some fun after all!"
Level 5 Roland - (35/50) Level 13 Blazermate (Holding 5 level up) - (13/130) Level 7 Susie - (21/70) - (Holding 3 level up) (on hold) Location: The Avenger Word Count: 978
With everyone having done their little exploration of the Avenger, everyone eventually met up to learn how they would reach the ground. A prospect that Roland was not happy with. "I'm with coffin keeper here. This looks really unsafe." Roland said, his world not needing stuff like this anymore. Thankfully Roland wasn't the first person to try this insanity, and upon seeing, or rather hearing, that Sandalphon was ok, cursed his fortunes and decided to get in a pod with some prodding from Blazermate, the medic bot reassuring him this looked fun and she'd 'fix any problems' if they occurred.
Susie meanwhile decided she'd stay on the Avenger, not out of fear of the drop pods, but because she noticed this place if it was going to be their new HQ, was woefully underdeveloped. "There is a lot of work to be done here. No business office, and a lot of things could be improved. If this is going to be the new HQ for awhile, I'd best get started on fixing it up." Susie before leaving did say though. "Although I'll come and drop in if there is a singing contest, hehe."
With that, everyone got into their respected pods and took the drop. Blazermate going "Wheee!!!" as the pods dropped, while Roland held on for dear life.
Level 11 Sectonia (holding 5 level up) - (105/110) Location: Carnival Town Word Count: 973
While Sectonia didn't really have much input getting to Carnival town, it took her a bit to understand what was going on. She did see this town on a map of this place a long time ago she realized. Or long it felt with all the stuff she'd been doing. It seemed Bowser and Ganondorf found a person they both recognized, being familiar to different degrees. Sectonia wasn't going to say no to a new minion, as long as they weren't another royal, but from the looks of it this guy was just a guy. A strong one, but a guy non the less.
Soon after though, a rain of objects came from the sky, a sky with... an interesting disposition. Sectonia would need to investigate that later as changing the very sky is quite a strong power. But first was dealing with the incoming objects. While at first these might be something from a Consul, the appearance of some familiar faces alleviated that fear. While Sectonia didn't recognize many of them, the few she did, and so did Nadia, did put everyone at ease. And these others must've been recruited from wherever the other group had been, it seemed. Although she'd learn that one of these strangers was just an incredibly changed Geralt.
Well, Blazermate didn't lie. When Roland saw these 'others' he had been told about, he saw a lot of what he'd call Distortions among them. But they were just things from other worlds where apparently humanity wasn't the only thing around. This whole alternate worlds thing was weird to wrap his head around. Yeah there were occasional dimensional tears in his world showing parallel but slightly altered realities, but nothing to this extent.
Blazermate, hopping out of her pod being one of the few that wasn't changed all that much, hovered over and gave Bowser a hug on his knee before flying up and onto her sitting spot on his shell. "Man, you missed a crazy adventure in the giant city. We found some new people! And uh... Well, we'll discuss the whole time travel guardian thing Susie got after we're relaxed." Blazermate said, blabbering on about what had been going on in midgar, or at least the good stuff.
Sectonia wasn't too impressed with most of the newcommers. They all looked like different versions of the same guy and it'd take her a bit to get used to how these city goers looked. At least a few of them weren't unassuming like Roland and Zenkichi so she'd have an easier time remembering them. She'd still need to stylize a few of these newcomers though, but at least a few of them had some nice looking suits on.
Roland watched Blazermate not only hug, but perch herself up on the giant turtle. He also saw a giant glamorous bee in some basic gaudy armor, and a literal cat girl. And around the giant turtle was a smaller one, a robed person, and a girl with... a lot of weaponry on her. Ok, as Roland looked at this group more and more, he noticed very quickly why none of them went to Midgar.
Welp, if these were his new coweorkers, that was that. Roland decided to walk up to the group and introduce himself. Hopefully he wouldn't get into an altercation right away... "Well, considering that girl and her friends just up and abducted me, I guess I better get to know my new coworkers. My names Roland, formally washed up fixer, now washed up turk. And who are all of you?" Blazermate piped up for Bowser, saying and almost cutting off Roland. "Oh Bowser, this is Roland. He might look dull but hes got some crazy, crazy fighting style." Blazermate said, her excitement being with the rest of the group clear to be seen.
Sectonia, disliking the fact she wasn't the first one to get introduced, wasn't so impolite to at least see where this went. But once Bowser and his family was done giving introductions, she gave her own. "I'm Queen Sectonia, ruler of Florlaia. I expect to see good things from a newcomer." Unlike many of the others, Sectonia's bit of royal haughtiness didn't rub Roland the wrong way, not yet anyway. He knew those with higher power acted this way, and he couldn't make an accurate decision on if he liked them or not until he saw them in action. Still, he'd still keep himself guarded as he always does, saying curtly. "Pleasure to meet you ma'am.". Well, for Sectonia, that was enough for now and she accepted the greeting before going back to observe the others, waiting for the other newcomers to make their introductions so she could make hers.
Thanks to Tycoon, while Susie is out of combat, her and her equipment including her business suit will rapidly regenerate back to full health.
Location: The Avenger Word Count: less than 750 per character.
Given the ability to explore this ship, Roland, Susie, and Blazermate split up much like the rest of the group to explore the ship as they saw fit. Seeing as the ship was so large, each person had their own ideas of what they did and didn't want to do, and went off to do so.
Roland===========
Though the Avenger offered a whole lot of places to go and interesting people to meet, only one place sounded good right now to Roland: the bar mentioned by the younger of the two Lockheart siblings. Though it couldn't be later than one or two right now, it was never too early to start drinking, especially when one hailed from a world as bleak as Roland's. In the mood for something to take the edge off, Roland tailed Cirrus through the ship's interior. Why bother with the signposting when someone was already headed straight there, after all? If Cirrus noticed, he didn't seem to care, either. It wasn't long before he reached his destination at the end of what would be a nondescript-looking hallway if not for the neon sign bolted onto the the wall. Stolen Moments.
Inside lay a small bar, styled to resemble an establishment from older, lower-tech era, with middling success. Without much in the way of wood or decor beyond a three-layer quarter-circle shelf with various memorabilia, it relied on the contours of its bar counter and the festival lights that hung from it to seem more rustic and homely. Across from the more warmly-lit bar, however, lay a wall of plaques beneath a cool blue glow. Each one bore dozens of names, lined up in neat stacks with military efficiency. This, Roland realized, must be a memorial as well as a bar. Its presence here deepened the sense of stark melancholy hear, and made the doleful look on Cirrus' face as he stepped behind the bar a little more understandable.
"Didn't waste any time, huh?" he remarked, his tone a little derisive. Behind him stood shelves of various liquors and mixers, and even a mini fridge with fresh fruits. His bottle of bright yellow Electric Reserva, however, remained seperate. "What's your poison?"
Roland looked at the newcomer, before saying. "I'll take whatever you have. Surprise me." Roland didn't turn down a drink if offered, not usually.
Cirrus snorted, thought for a moment, then got to work. He selected a bottle of golden whiskey from the shelf, then used a silver jigger to pour add two parts to a wide Old Fashioned glass with a single round rock of ice. He eyeballed the perfect amount of syrup and aromatic bitters, then stirred the mixture with a thin, corkscrew-handled spoon. Next, he cracked open a fresh can of tangy ginger beer with a satisfying pop, then poured it over the booze before pushing it Roland's way. "The Doomsday Clock," he declared, with the air of a bitter joke about him. "To make whiling away your seconds a little easier."
"Thanks." Roland said as he took the drink. He was used to drinking beer out of a can, not actual good liquor, so he savored his first sip. Noting the name of the drink, Roland looked at the wall before turning to give Cirrus a half glance saying. "Isn't that the truth brother... isn't that the truth." Roland said, continuing to work on his drink and relax.
Cirrus huffed. "Incidentally, that booze is gonna set you back one thousand zenny, 'brother'. Ingredients like these don't come cheap, after all." Cirrus said. Roland almost spit out his sip in surprise, having it go down roughly as he sputtered. Well, he wasn't sure what he expected. They weren't friends yet, barely even comrades. Guess he'd have to handle this with the mindset of the city, not the library, no free beer from Netzach. "Whoa, is that how you get all your money?" Roland said, digging through his pockets. He then remembered that Midgar tended to have all money be digital, which went away when the city went down. Well... that just sucked.
"Can't pay huh? Well, I'll just keep a tab." Cirrus said. Roland could only sigh at his rotten luck.
Susie==============
Susie, being given the opportunity to look through the ship, decided to go take a look at what tech they had. Or barring that, perhaps find a workshop she could tinker herself. Considering Tora was here, there was probably one, and there was some things she had to look up and check on with her whole Tycoon fusion. It wasn't every day that someone fuses with a Guardian, and while she saw it could stop time, it could also apparently rewind time; something that not even Haltman Works figured out. Whatever engineering was involved in it was next level.
Susie wasn't too surprised when she found an engineering workshop that was empty. Considering Tora was here, he was probably their only engineer. Having a bit of time to herself in a workshop with proper tools, Susie went ahead and began to tinker around with her new business suit, empowered by a guardian. It didn't take long for her to confirm her suspicions that this thing had some control over time, but what she didn't know is that it had some power over space as well. Although unlike its powers over time, it seemed that outside of its ability to cause a massive gravity well, its powers over space were... mostly non combative. Something to think about for later though, perhaps.
What Susie did manage to do though, was tinker around with it a bit to unlock a new power it seemed to possess. Susie also learned that she got a bit of the benefit of whatever she got from her business suit, what with the spirit changing her appearance as well. Now if only she wasn't so... heavy feeling...
Blazermate=========
Blazermate decided to go take a look at the infirmary, but there wasn't all that much there. Unlike other places, this looked pretty high tech. Since they apparently hadn't been in combat anytime recently, there wasn't anyone in this place. Even so, the place looked pretty good at healing people, so while her healing gun was better, this wasn't a bad place at all.
A few moments after Blazermate entered, one of the Lost Numbers who'd emerged to check out the newcomers followed her inside. He was a young man, eighteen or nineteen, with short, well-kept hair of a very light orange-brown shade, with horn-rimmed glasses that didn't seem to have any lenses over eyes kept closed, his neutral expression one of polite confidence. He possessed a wiry build beneath a long white coat, buttoned in front, which made him give off the air of both a doctor and a priest. A crisp tie, shaped like a red cross, and black slacks completed his officious look. On his belt he carried a trio of distinctive red med kits, confirming his role here at as a healer, but at the same time the young man looked ready for war, with a dangerous-looking instrument handing from his other hip, and a crossbow slung across his back. Something about his face seemed familiar. Where had Blazermate seen those features before...?
"If you chose to come here of all places, I'm guessing you're a medic as well," the man said. His voice sounded gentle, but that struck Blazermate as an affectation, rather than his natural tone of voice. "I hope our medical accommodations are up to snuff. It's nothing fancy, of course, but we're good at what we do. Have to be, in a world like this." He clasped his hands. "My name is Eleison. Right now, I'm the main healer aboard the Avenger. I may not have a medical license, but neither did my mentor, hehe. It's the results that matter, wouldn't you say, miss...?"
"Oh, I don't have one either. Medabots don't have to worry about that stuff. And yeah, any battle you keep all your parts in is a good one!" Blazermate said. Granted she caught is tone of voice, and something about him seemed... odd? But she couldn't put her finger on it. "I'm Blazermate, looks like I'll be helping heal people here too! But other than that, I'm kinda up for.... almost anything?" She said, scratching her chin trying to figure out what was off about this situation.
Eleison gave her a polite smile. "Good. You never know what tomorrow will bring, after all, and we must be ready when the time comes. The enemy is relentless, and if our side losers its lifelines, it's only a matter of time until the cause is lost, as well." He gestured at the room. "If you need anything, let me know." He seemed interested in the Medabot's medigun. "Though, I get the impression that you do most of your healing in the field, rather than the operating table. I'm the same way. Only the toughest cases, like corruption and disease, typically end up here." For a moment longer he held her gaze, as if expecting some sort of question. Then he turned to go. "See you around."
"Bye! Hope to work with ya soon!" Blazermate said, waiting patiently for Eleison to head out before she moved out herself.
Curious, Blazermate also checked out the crew quarters, but didn't see anyone but Dawn and Sandalphon on the way there. Apparently the other lost numbers were elsewhere through the ship, or were off somewhere else. Well, Blazermate wasn't sure what she expected from what looked like a military ship, although it took her a bit to figure that part out. After all it was an alien ship. Still, she saw the ships medic, and that was nice. Why did it feel like he was part robot though?
Level 5 Roland - (32/50) Level 13 Blazermate (Holding 5 level up) - (9/130) Level 7 Susie - (20/70) - (Holding 4 level up) Location: Outside Midgar Word Count: Less than 750
Well, safe to say none of the trio was expecting to be saved by a giant invisible ship. A ship with some actual tech from the looks of it which got Susie excited. And on top of that... "Tora! And you got Poppi back! I knew you would! And some survived from Alcamoth! Thats good to see! It was a tough city so... well yeah." Blazermate said, glad to see some familiar faces. Susie meanwhile took a look over Poppi as well, seeing exactly what Tora did. "Hm... I see that you remade Poppi using the androids under our 'guardian angel's command. Well, it seems to have worked so alls well."
Roland hadn't met any of these people, being a late arrival in the group, nor did he show any of Blazermate's familairity or shock. He did gather a bit from the exchanges going on though, and introduced himself to the rest at the very least. "Hello, names Roland. Previously a turk, once was a fixer, now... I guess I'm a washed up rebel now? Man, why has my life been such a whirlwind recently..." Roland said, rather gloomily. He then pipped up and said. "Well, I'll let you all get reacquainted and just take a breather from dealing with... whatever that thing was."
For the trio's questions, Midna asked most of them. Roland would wait for everyone to ask theirs before he asked his, as they might ask things better than he could in this situation. Roxas then asked the question Blazermate had, so Blazermate had no real questions. Susie meanwhile asked the question on her mind. "So where did this ship come from? And are you sure the tech is strong enough to deal with these Consuls? They have some... strange powers."
"Where did it...?" Cirrus looked confused, and a little derisive. "What does that matter?"
Dawn shook her head. "We're not planning to use it to fight Moebius. At least, not directly. It's our home after all. We'll use it to fly you guys around and keep the war effort supplied."
So, this was something they found is what Susie got from that reply. She should take a look over it and see what she could do to make it better then perhaps.
Roland's question was a simple one meanwhile. "So you were all born of this world, people age, all that stuff happens. My question, how are you all free of that light ball's power?"
"That's just it," Dawn replied to Roland. "We were born the natural way. The right way."
Cirrus quickly added on to that. "You all show up fully formed and under Galeem's control 'cause it makes you that way."
That lead to a lot more questions than answers for Roland, but he'd let it rest for now until he had more information. Although Roxas being sure that things would 'go to being normal' after all of this was something Roland didn't think would happen.
Level 11 Sectonia (holding 5 level up) - (103/110) Location: Gerudo Town - Bathhouse Word Count: Less than 750
Sectonia kept herself as clean as she could, but the bathhouse she was in was more for relaxing than anything. Still, she had some work to do with not only herself, but the others. And those others needed a lot more work than she did. Granted, with this being a place for only women, and that rule not being able to be overridden by Ganondorf, the bathhouse was only full of herself, Primrose, and Nadia. A relaxing change of pace, as these two kept themselves proper, or at least attempted to, or asked for her help when they couldn't manage it on their own.
Speaking of her companions, after the three got all settled in the relaxing bathhouse, Sectonia decided to try a little gossip. After all, it would work with her plans later on anyway, so why not? "So, I suppose Ganondorf at least knows how nobility works, although I'm surprised things went so smoothly. Do you girls think that he has a soft spot for his tribe? It seems that those in charge here only knew of him in fairy tales, besides one of them that knew him personally. And the way the others spoke of him, its as if he hasn't been around for centuries. No doubt a consequence of Galeem's interference, but also interesting knowing that he seems to have taken from both time and space."
Waiting for the other girls to give their opinions, Sectonia listened to their replies and after that, had an idea for a change of subject when the other two had discussed the situation as well. "On a more pressing matter, the boys are going to need a bit of sprucing up. While I don't have to worry about the two of you, I do think we'll need to give the guys a makeover. Do the two of you have any interesting fashion ideas for the boys?" Sectonia said, trying a bit of gossip and small talk. "While I doubt we can do anything to Ganondorf and having it stick, we do need to clean up Therion's hair and the koopa families... Everything. But I have a feeling short of volcanic flowers, frills and crystals wont match their styles."
"I have a few hairstyle ideas for Bowser and Therion, and a nice haircut for Rika, but other than that, figuring out what to give to the others... well lets hear what you two have."
Level 11 Sectonia (holding 5 level up) - (102/110) Location: Gerudo Town Word Count: Less than 750
Well, Sectonia wasn't fully expecting this line of events, but it made things easier. She'd have to clean and pretty up the guys if they were going to be here and in her company, although a few of them might need some weird fashion. Still, before she did that, Sectonia had to make herself presentable. Sure she was... ok, but there were just things you can't do out in the wild. She had to get her hair all cleaned up form all the fusions, and decide what armor pieces of this gem thing she wanted to keep and if she needed to change a bit of her accessories to match up with her new look.
With that, Sectonia made her way to the service portion of the town. Good thing about a town of all women, or was all woman, it wasn't difficult finding a place to beautify herself nor products to do this on the road. She had an extravagant camping set, might as well get a set of tools to keep up her appearance that'll change from time to time. Although styling herself would take some time, at least she had the space for it.
With that in mind, Sectonia spent her time getting her fluff all fixed, getting that 'tatoo' she hid under her crown covered up with something more permanent, and just overall getting herself prettied up. Granted it took some time for all of this, as she was still a tad smaller than she normally was, she was still quite large compared to their average clientele, and her more... exact and demanding requests didn't make life easy for the stylists.
After what seemed like an hour, Sectonia was all fixed up. She decided to discard and sell a couple pieces of the armor her fusion with the knight woman she found in the prison. Mostly pieces that interfered with people seeing her face or her spellcasting. She still kept the breastplate and shoulderpads though, having a much more fancy breastplate than she had before. Granted that money went right back into her stylists, but hey, thats just how it went.
While getting herself sorted material wise, she heard Ganondorf report on the placement of the flame clock. Interesting, she'd have to go give that a look, since at this moment she had yet to see such an item. But that was after everyone got a bath.
