Morgan Hanlock

Morgan Hanlock

Name:

Morgan "The Kraken" Hanlock

Age:

Twenty-Six

Physical Description:

Hanlock's fashion sense is definitely one of the things that puts most people off when they first meet him. His wardrobe consists of an array of, mostly sleeve-less, broad-chested, dark-colored doublets. He also occasionally wears dark mantles and/or long-coats of leather, not leaving him much room for armor, but leaving his movement flexible, and providing ample concealment for his weapons and other gear/electronics.

Hanlock keeps his dark, rough hair straight, usually holding it in dreadlocks or braided styles that fall to the sides and back of his head, or over his shoulders. In times of relaxation or recreation, he sometimes ties it back in a frayed style with a strap of leather or cloth. Additionally, he has the beginnings of a dark beard.

Hanlock also occasionally wears jewelry, but only during special events. It should also be noted that he wears a black eye-patch on his right eye, which he seemingly never removes. But he doesn't talk much about how, or whether, he actually lost his eye. One of Hanlock's many defining physical features, we can't forget, is his tricorne-style hat. Black with silver-lining, this is his most prized head-piece.

Personality:

Positive traits:
⊳ Motivated
⊳ Out-going
⊳ Competitive
Negative traits
⊳ Stubborn
⊳ Heedless (In regards to law)
⊳ Greedy
⊳ Brash

If Hanlock were a man, you could say he is one of flexible morals. The artificial intellect in him is aware of the negative implications of stealing and disrupting the peace...but his previous programming, which never was expelled from his system, tugs at his better half. Always looking to get him in trouble.

Being that his mind is borne of artificial intelligence, empathy is not the android's strong-suit. He has, however, tried to conform somewhat to society's norms. As in, what feelings he could not upload from the universal internet - he made from scratch. This leaves Hanlock in an odd place between caring and - something else? It's hard to tell, with Hanlock. Just know that he's not always as cold as his carapace is.

When it comes down to raw ability to analyze technology however, Hanlock is king. With the touch of a finger or a few moments of visual study(seeing it in action helps a lot), he can normally determine the constituents, purpose, and mechanical features of a piece of technology - and enjoys doing so greatly when it comes to forms of ordnance.

In the face of opposition, Hanlock isn't one to easily back down from combat. Even when analyzing a situation, if he finds it to be an unfavorable one, he will work to turn the tides in his and his allies' favor.

Short-Bio:

Hanlock's story is an odd one. A very odd one.

He is the issue of a very fortunate, or unfortunate, if you're a member of The Imperial Commonwealth of Humanity, event. Although Hanlock can't remember this himself too well, his body was once that of a simple animatronic pirate - a greeter for children at a super-sized, high-tech amusement park. Sadly for the children, their favorite eye-patched character would soon be taken from them.

Upon the main ship of an arms convoy traveling past Hanlock's home planet, rested an experimental, weaponized unit of living metal. Obviously, this sort of cargo is quite coveted. In fact, a group of well-informed raiders tried to access this technology by attacking the convoy, causing the main cargo ship to embark on a violent descent, which led to the ship plummeting to crash directly into the amusement park.

Said crash left the hull breached in multiple places, and the containment features of the vessel powered-down. The weaponized metal sought a vessel of its own as it parted from the ship. This is where Hanlock's animatronic self comes in. The experiment fused itself with the comparatively human-looking machine, joining the cheap iron carapace and crude programming with a specimen of boundless worth and advanced artificial intelligence. And from there - he ran.

Hanlock has lived his days since his "second creation" on the outskirts of society, really creeping people out with his outlandish behaviors. Until he met Captain Sophitia Aristoros, who took him into her crew, despite his odd nature.

_{No Magic, No Equipment}

Abilities:

Mass Melding: Hanlock is capable of bending metal slowly to his will when coming into contact with it. When touching any metal-esque material directly with his body or his cables, he can move it slowly, or reshape it - he may also change the temperature, tensile strength, and a multitude of other factors. This effect is quickened, though not much, when he uses his body and his cables on the same object.
_{Notes:
• If the object is somehow directly connected to someone, he cannot bend it - such as a machine being directly connected to someone's consciousness.
• If Hanlock uses less than four cables to meld something, he will do so extremely slowly.
• He is restricted to masses roughly thrice the volume of himself, or less. He can indeed use this on himself.}

The Kraken: Hanlock's preferred method of combat is using a series of eight cables to assault his target(s) from a distance. He can move these cables with a simple thought, and can stretch them up to about 50 feet long(16.7 yards/15.24 meters), though he cannot change the volume of the cables. However, as long as the volume is retained, he can shape them in any form he pleases.
_{Notes:
• Hanlock draws these cables from a small "pack" that rests on his back, and as such they actually pierce through holes specially-made on his clothes.
• Hanlock is capable of extending the cables as far as he can see if he is using a metal structure as a conduit - he essentially borrows it's mass. However, the cables still follow their original volume rule when he is using them to make weapons through other objects.}

Living Metal Anatomy:
Being an organism of living metal has its perks. But also its downsides aswell.

_{Matter of Form}
In an unattended or unconscious state, Hanlock's "flesh" is somewhat similar to a very hard pudding. It can be cut and pierced, but with more resistance than a human's flesh would offer. This is how he usually walks around. However, he can change the solidity of his entire body, besides his core. He can harden himself completely and become very durable, but he will become completely immobile. Conversely, he can go into a nigh-liquid state, allowing him to squeeze through space that he normally couldn't, but his mechanical core must still fit through.

This "pudding-like" body is good at absorbing attacks that use force as their main destructive tool - for example unaltered punches, bullets, swords, etc, will be less effective than against a human. Lasers, energy weapons, altered attacks(such as searing ones) from the previous list, or some other forms of attacks will be just as effective.
<sub>Note: Hanlock consciously gives his body the texture and look of a human's body - however he forgets the warmth and the pulse/other small features.

Regenerative Mass</sub>
Hanlock can regenerate the destroyed mass of his body by sitting still and absorbing metals from his vicinity. This does take some time, depending on the missing mass. Any wound bigger than the size of one's hand may take an hour or more. Any less than this can be a matter of several dozen minutes or less.

_{Elemental Weaknesses}
Hanlock does not fare well with the elements, unless it's the cold. Fire, Acid, Electricity, and oftentimes water, are all hazards to him. If he is attacked by either fire or acid, his "flesh" will be burnt away until he can recuperate and absorb more metal into his system. As for electricity - applying a high enough voltage will send the android packing, possibly knocking him out-cold for a time. He also cannot swim, and he will heavily malfunction if hit by water while his innards are exposed.

Miscellaneous/Extras:

-Skills-

◌ Weapon/Technology Knowledge: Hanlock is capable of analyzing equipment, especially of a technological variety, by making contact with it, or visually studying it for a few moments. Seeing the equipment in action helps. He can analyze the components, functions, and various other facets of the gear.
This is especially useful for equipment that is unrecorded or never seen before.
◌ Superior Cognizance: Hanlock has a very large bank of information to draw from - the internet. And he can access this information expeditiously. Whether it be Physics, Anatomy, Battle Tactics, Fighting Styles, or more, he can acquire this information very quickly, and use it to his advantage. This also provides him with almost perfect memory storage.

-Incompetencies-

Social Cues: Hanlock is not the best at noticing social cues in regular conversation. It's difficult for him to tell if someone is embarrassed, scared, confident, angry, etc., unless he is specifically told to look for physical signs of such feelings.
Magic: He is completely oblivious to the use of magic. It somewhat confuses him, as by all logic, magic shouldn't even be possible. He has no understanding of the art, nor does he particularly want to learn about it.
Fear: Hanlock may or may not be incapable of fear. But he has never shown even an ounce of it. He may take pauses, or hesitate to think, but not once has he displayed a sense of fear.
EMP Durability: Hanlock does not work well under the affects of EMP devices. He is limited to little more than basic movement - on the floor, mind you - and his memory may me wholly or partially wiped throughout the duration of the signal.

Morgan Hanlock

Morgan Hanlock

_{[Before Transformation]}

Age:

Twenty-Six.

Physical Description:

Hanlock's fashion sense is definitely one of the things that puts most people off when they first meet him. His wardrobe consists of an array of, mostly sleeve-less, broad-chested, dark-colored customized doublets. He also wears dark mantles and long-coats of leather, not leaving him much room for bulky armor, but leaving his movement flexible, and providing ample concealment for his unnatural features.

Hanlock keeps his dark, rough hair much straighter than he used to, usually holding it in dreadlocks or braided styles that fall to the sides and back of his head, or over his shoulders. In times of relaxation or recreation, he sometimes ties it back in a frayed style with a strap of leather or cloth. Additionally, he has started to grow the beginnings of a dark beard.

Height: 6’0, Eye Color: Left - Dark Brown, Right - ???

Personality:

Positive traits:
⊳ Motivated
⊳ Out-going
⊳ Competitive
Negative traits
⊳ Stubborn
⊳ Heedless (In regards to law)
⊳ Greedy
⊳ Brash

Hanlock is a person of very flexible morals. He's willing to commit lesser-evils without so much as batting an eye, but he recognizes there are those out there who are of a much crueler nature, and he won't let them go un-checked if he can help it.

When met with a challenge, the buccaneer is not one to shy away. He has a way of tactical thinking people may not expect from someone who is, outwardly, quite brash. When granted the time, he analyzes a situation before taking action, then going for what he assumes the most successful approach, often-times without the consent of his companions. This is majorly because he is accustomed to being the Captain of the crew, and making all the decisions for himself.

In his spare time he enjoys drinking booze, playing manly party games, and telling talltales, just as a pirate rightly does. One thing that he does do differently than a true pirate does, however, is meditate. He does this because he believes it helps him to channel the wild, radioactive-like energy that was forced into his body from his past. He doesn't get to go raiding cargo ships as much as he used to, but he is, for the most part, satisfied still with his hobbies.

Short-Bio:

-WIP-

∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽

Spell List:

► Energy Staining
Hanlock, over a prolonged period of focusing and physical contact, can "stain" physical objects with a special dormant energy, that he can manipulate in a variety of ways. The energy has no other effect as it remains dormant.

▼ Energy Implosion
This Stain-manipulating technique takes the least amount of energy to apply. Activating the dormant energies within one of Hanlock's "stains" will cause the object it is applied onto to implode, or partially implode, depending on the strength of the stain and size of the object.

▼ Energy Displacement/Energy Anchor
The "stain" latches on to the material, and teleports itself to Hanlock's side. The size of the object limits the duration required of this power, and it can reliably teleport things about the size of a freezer. Another use for this power is to moor an object to a single spot- despite whether it is possible via physics. This also takes more time based on the size of the object.
These techniques will normally take longer than the one before them.

▼ Ethereal Enchantment
This is Hanlock's most powerful form of magic, but also takes the longest time. Months, actually. By fusing his life essence and energy into an object over a period of several months, or years, he can give the object abilities only limited by his imagination. He has to meditate with the object touching his hands each day, thinking deeply on the effects he wishes to bestow upon it. He can only afford to miss a few days, with ample time in-between, and missing too many will make the effect much weaker than intended. Afterwards, the object will be permanently enchanted with Hanlocks desired effects.

Weapons/Items:

• Curse-Catcher: Hanlock's enchanted Cutlass, Curse-Catcher, can cut through magic. Not only that, but it can intercept and drag magical energies along its path, or coat itself in the energy. Besides this power, the only distinguishable factor between this broad blade and another of the same design, is its apparent indestructibility.

Curse-Catcher

• Spell Piercer: This abnormally long, black-tinted flintlock is one of the pirate's few ranged tools. Spell Piercer serves well to protect the Buccaneer from magic and sometimes the environment. It is capable of magically absorbing nearby entities(for example fire, smoke, energy, etc.) and loading them into the barrel to be fired with the next shot. Depending on the absorbed material, the attack may vary widely in power and effect. Hanlock reloads this weapon quicker than one would expect him to, seeing the nature of the weapon; whether this is accredited to magic or skill, one can't tell. Notably, Spell Piercer is indestructible, however, just like a regular flintlock, it can misfire, jam, and is nearly useless against armor if the weapon is not empowered. However, it is much more accurate than a weapon of its design should be.

Multiple Sets of Magnetic Throwing Knives: Used in conjunction with a minute controller somewhere within Hanlock's possession, the pirate can use these knives to emit a strong magnetism in a direction he desires, either pulling the knives towards, or propelling them straight away from the target.

Magnetic Knives

Standard Issue Rapid-fire Coilgun [Handgun]

Omnitool: A very standard Omnitool. Hanlock is not the most familiar with in-depth electronics, but an Omnitool is almost, if not, a necessity. It can make calls, take notes, record audio/video, as well as an entire roster of other functions Omnitools commonly have. Hanlock’s Omnitool is similar to a high-tec phone, in design, and he usually keeps it in an inner pocket of his long-coat.

∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽

Miscellaneous/Extras:

-Skills:
_Combat
Living in a world of violence, Hanlock obvious has picked up a few skills along the way.
◌ Bladed Weapon Combat: Hanlock is well-versed in the art of fighting with a sword, knife, or any other type of blade. He is very likely to cut himself, or to perform an attack incorrectly. His skill is much higher than most people he would likely meet.
◌ Firearms Combat: In this day and age, not being able to engage your enemies at a distance is not a good idea. Hanlock can fire single-handed firearms with great accuracy, and can utilize long-arms efficiently as well. He also can reload them faster than the average space-dweller.
◌ Unarmed Combat: Sometimes you get caught off-guard. Being able to defend yourself without any weapons is a good insurance plan.
◌ Brawling: Hanlock's prowess extends to using multiple, or all, of these combat capabilities at the same time- and he is great at focusing on multiple targets at the same time.
◌ Guerrilla Combat: Hanlock's favorite way of approaching a fight, Guerrilla Tactics are something he is well-versed in. Ambushes, sneak attacks, army-kiting, etc. are some of the many skills that come with this war-fare style.
_Social
◌ Bartering: Sometimes, when you don't have that extra buck, it would do you well to know how to barter.
◌ Intimidation: Or, you could just throw the rest of their merchandise across the room and demand your prize. His mannerisms and odd behavior accredit to this.
◌ Flirting: This isn't really a skill because he isn't especially good at it, but he does it a lot. Turns out not a lot of chicks dig the pirate persona.
_{Incompetencies}
◌ Politics: Hanlock is not well-versed in politics. He doesn't keep up with the governing trends, nor does he wish to. This leaves him nearly entirely incompetent on the subject, and unlikely to learn about it.
◌ Foreign Magic: Hanlock is completely inept on the subject of magic outside of his own. He knows basically nothing, and is very unlikely to be able to utilize any. He may learn about them, however.
◌ Fear: Nobody has ever seen Hanlock show an ounce of fear. He shows hesitation, an analytical pause, but never fear. This isn't to say he is incapable. But he will not show it.

The Experiment - Aftermath
After the experiments performed on him by the unidentified scientist_(s), Hanlock has some irregular, to say the least, new aspects about him. As a results of said experiments the pirate - extremely painfully - developed a set of extra appendages, and several patches of crystalline materials over his body. His extra set of fully-crystalline arms is placed only a couple of inches below his normal set- and are only a few inches less in circumference than his fleshy arms. It should be noted that Hanlock almost always tries to conceal the presence of these crystal parts, and does a fine job in most cases, due to his clothing.

The teal, crystalline patches cover these spots, and have varying levels of prominence(1-5):
Right Eye/Temple area (2)
Left Outer-Upper Arm (3)
Right Shin (4)
Upper-Back (2)
Besides these spots, Hanlock also has a rib-cage like structure of crystal inside of his chest and other cavities, truly making him one with the mineral.

Summit

_{U.S. Army
Brigada 6 Operaţii Speciale "Mihai Viteazul"}

Operator’s name: Sava Enache
Operator’s callsign: Summit
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Sava stands 5’6” in height, and weighs in at about 140lbs. She possesses straight, shoulder-length blonde hair and cloudish-gray eyes which always appear especially watchful. These rather cold eyes often compliment the usual seriousness or emotionlessness of her default expressions. Despite being a bit smaller than most of her brothers-in-arms, Sava is still very bodily fit, as one would expect.

Psych Eval:

Sava Enache is a rather quiet, watchful individual when it comes to social circumstances. She generally doesn’t speak unless spoken to, and is likely one of the least outgoing in any group - but she doesn’t seem blunt or agitable, as many others of this stance often are. Notably, despite having experience in the tight-knit camaraderie of a Special Forces team, none have grown close enough to her to draw out any behavior beyond the usual.

There are times when Operative Sava does vary, though. Most notably, on the battlefield. When others find Sava in the midst of an engagement she almost seems like a different person - hyper-focused, stern-faced, and especially communicative with those around her. One moment she can seem a physically diminutive solider holding an angle for her partner’s backside, the next one can hear her Romanian-accented voice tearing through obstacles to her allies.

When in such situations, Sava doesn’t skip a beat. She moves her and her team from position to position fluidly and efficiently, and takes on targets with even less hesitation than expected of a soldier - and seemingly while completely devoid of ruth.

Skills:

• Evasion and Infiltration training
• Anti-terrorism training
• Multilingual [Romanian, English, Russian]
• Small unit/Infantry tactics
• Diving/Scuba training
• Mountainous traversal/combat training
• CQC training
• Advanced Combat Treating
• Romanian Spec Ops training

Personal Equipment:

• Benelli M1014 Shotgun Military md. [Collapsing Buttstock, Ghost-ring sights]
• HK417 DMR [Low-Light 4x-14x Sight, 45° Angle-mounted ironsights, Flash Suppressor]
• 9mm Pistol Model 2000 [Sound Suppressor, Underbarrel Flashlight]
• Stun grenade [1-3]
• Remote Concussive grenade [Magnetic, Adhesive, 1-3]
• Fragmentation grenade [1-2]
• A.D.M.I.S.
  ADMIS

  Arm-Mounted Defibrillation-capable Medical Injection System
  _{[Concept Art]}

  The ADMIS is a device mounted upon the operator’s left arm. It is primarily fastened in the form of a flexible bicep-length arm sleeve secured by ballistic nylon straps. Along the outermost side of the bicep and forearm sits a hardy, rather flat but boxy enclosed mechanism system that stores the silent motors of the device as well as various other parts. These two portions meet on the outside of the elbow with a compact elliptical gyrosystem to maintain full limb dexterity. Underneath the forearm just before the wrist circles a thinner, detachable portion of the system that can be filled and customized to contain various drugs, which can be injected into the operator or her allies with more efficiency and ease than other methods.
  The previously mentioned enclosed mechanism on the outside of the arm contains rather small but highly efficient silent motors that allow the array to enhance the locomotion and overall capability of the operator’s limb, granting them far greater velocity and strength in the limb when using the device.
  The array also contains small, padded compartments of storage large enough to store several vials and needles. It also holds the mechanisms required to maintain a field-carried, self-charging defibrillator system.

Bio: Sava Enache was born to James Hall and Maria Enache in Texas, United States on military installation Fort Hood. The two met when James traveled to Romania for vacation in-between U.S. Army deployments. They quickly fell for each other and after a time James eventually convinced Maria to marry him and move to America, close to Fort Hood - a stipulation being that she wanted to bring some of her close family. This created a pretty diverse growing environment for Sava as she was born some years later -- a mix of American and Romanian cultures making for an interesting household.

She grew up a rather normal child, progressing through schooling perhaps a little fast. This aptitude for learning was emphasized in high school when she began to pull ahead of others of her age, soon being placed in advanced classes by her father. She continued to excel in school until she graduated at the age of 17, and soon began her plans for attending college. However, it seemed then was when her fortune ran out.

Weeks before college terms started, the family got word from the U.S. Army that their husband and father had fallen in the line of duty. Sava was devastated and canceled her application, taking time to grieve for her father.

By the time she turned 18, Sava had decided she would take the initiative to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the United States Army. She enlisted some months after her eighteenth birthday and served in the Armed Forces for five years, experiencing four tours. After her deployments, Sava returned home to Texas, where her family awaited eagerly for her return.

They had discussed it for a time, and now that Sava’s service was over, her mother and her family decided to move back to Romania, applying and receiving dual citizenship for Sava.

The young woman took about a year off from military affairs, experiencing her ancestral home for the first time in...ever. However, something yearned inside her. It didn’t quite feel like she missed her deployments, but something felt missing in her life. Eventually, she found herself joining the Romanian Special Forces.

She served among her comrades for about five years, undergoing more training and even training courses alongside other American units, such as Green Beret and Marine Corps outfits. Even though the Romanian Special Forces was a rather different experience than the U.S. Army, she felt she was still pleasing her father by being a protector of those who could not protect themselves.

However, she wanted more. She reached out to her superiors, searching for more and more ways to help those she could in her place as an exceptionally trained and proved soldier. Luckily for her, it seemed someone was listening.

She was contacted by Rainbow to be recruited into anti-terrorist operations - which she dutifully accepted.

Royal Rumble!

@thewizardguy This is still alive. We have a friendly little group in our Discord for this RP. At the moment, we are doing a big swerve from our revious plans(that we are in the middle of), but if you don't mind the slow trudging that we are doing at the moment, you are more than welcome to join us. You should know we do pretty much all of our communicating in the discord(as anyone who has read this RP can probably guess).

Royal Rumble!

Killa knows. Killa knows.

Royal Rumble!

I like her :P Excellent choice for her martial art (my favorite) ^^

Just so you know, we talk(and plan) almost exclusively in this discord:
discord.gg/VMAV9A

Innocence Lost: Space Western Science Fantasy (Temporarily Open Again!)

@Metatrooper discord.gg/JTs8Uh Here's the Discord link where we hold the vast majority of our conversations. If you would like to join that it would be beneficial to the group's communication.

-Also, for the most part the mechanical fairs are handled. In part, here is what was decided, in our Discord, via The Jest(New GM, also called Red Sabath)'s rulings:

"Ok, so after a few days of pondering between me and others, we have gotten down what we're going to do regarding magic.

I'll start with what I believe I pointed out before: I'm not allowing Time. Space is fine, but Time is a definite no-no. I should probably eliminate Space as well, but at least one character seem to have Space magic on them (coughreisuscough) so I feel it wouldn't be fair to that character if I removed that as well. All the other classes of magic, (High, Mind, World, Underworld, Change) will remain intact.

Now onto something else I feel I should prepare you all for...Specifically those among you with a Child Soldier...

After some consideration, we have decided that the Child Soldiers will be slightly nerfed. Not for meta-reasons like they're too powerful, but because of story reasons, reasons of logic involving the predicament these children were placed in.

It's not really a big nerf in that respect, but simply put: Out of all the spells you have, only one or two of them you can safely say you've "mastered", by the time this RP starts. The rest of the spells will not be as good, need it be for reasons of a lack of a mentor, knowledge, or skill. Hopefully this will create a sense of Growth to these characters, that they're not necessarily powerful as they are, but can grow strong over time."

-It should be noted, Space magic was also removed because I (the controller of "reisus") am using a different character.

--Additionally:

"Now, for everyone who ISN'T making a Child Soldier. I'm about to explain my case regarding the E-skills.

...I'll be honest, I'm on the fence about E-skills being a thing. There should be a certain quality to players who are not using Magic like the Child Soldiers, but I can't at the moment figure out how.

I will say this though, if I do add the E-skills, the Stacking is gone We are not dealing with stacking e-skills.

Also, if I do add E-skills, the Array of strengths and weaknesses like with Magic, will apply to these as well. Basically meaning that, like before, some skills you are heavly talented with, and some you're not. So I guess a negative stack in a way.

Moreover, whether or not I use E-skills for this, either way, I am adding an additional section to the CS:

Misc. Abilities:

Cause honestly? I find it much easier to simply explain what characters can and can't do, explaining properly their strengths and weaknesses, rather than simply defining their quality and their existence by a list of talents."

Innocence Lost: Space Western Science Fantasy (Temporarily Open Again!)

@Metatrooper Ye can. However, it should be noted that the Ex. SKills and magic system is undergoing a re-work in all likelihood. So that part of ye sheet should probably be left mostly unstructured, so that it can fit into the new system that is in the works.

Royal Rumble!

@Eviledd1984 Yes, I believe so, though we are at a slow point at the moment. You may join the discord if you like. Pretty sure we are always open

Innocence Lost: Space Western Science Fantasy (Temporarily Open Again!)

Reisus

---

Stella's blade streaked through the corridor, the light it let off cascading over all the edges of the hard interior of the prison ship, flying at a deadly speed down the hall directly towards their mysterious opponent. Before it was stopped instantly in its tracks, without reaching its intended target. As if caught by some invisible being. The creature now met the blade with some tool- a staff- which set it alight momentarily. And then the voice pierced Reisus' mind.

It was chilling- as one might expect. Someone- or something, whatever this opponent was- was in his head. He didn't like it. But who would? How are- he began to question in his own consciousness, as if the entity could hear his thoughts- but he was soon interrupted by the movement of Stella's now-still-floating blade. It began spinning rapidly until soon, more blades began to split off from the first one until there were several. And then they stopped and faced him and his comrades. And flew straight towards them.

However, his squad had other plans. One of the knives clattered to the ground before it reached the group. Reisus was not completely sure what the others were completely capable of, but only one reason made sense to him why only a single blade would clatter to the ground- the rest were illusions, and the floor had just been magnetized. Smart. he thought. That would probably be this "Stella". She seems like she'd like magnetism..

However, before he could advance to engage with their opponent, he noticed something else. Soon the group was being sprinkled with water- it had seemed as though the water from Eldrid's attempted cleansing was now being blasted back towards them by sudden, powerful winds. Reisus didn't know much about combining magic and items, or magical items, and he only knew what he could learn from books- so he wasn't sure what the source of the wind was, perhaps the staff?. But perhaps maybe it came from the runes that were fading from the environment ahead of them.

The winds blasting into his face and eyes made it somewhat difficult to keep them open- even causing his eyes to tear up a little. But he did his best, and in the commotion he thought he saw their mystery opponent trying to slip away.
"It's trying to escape." he warned. "If this is the way Realist is, we have to fight through it, or chase it away." he advised his team. His unoccupied hand moved down to his thigh, and soon his legs had become heavier due to his magic. He started stomping down the hall- which now resembled a wind tunnel- trying his best to keep his balance. He would attempt to fire at the seemingly fleeing opponent, but he doubted his accuracy would be very great with the forceful wind blowing the barrel of the hand-gun off-course.
