Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

Alexandria Sova

AKA Andras

Alexandria tightened her hand into a fist. She had actually done it this time. This was the first time she had really headed out and done something on her own in ages. And she had even won a fight already. 'To think I wouldn't have even been able to hold Vera at an arms' length with my gift before all this... And now!' A brief flash of anxiety washed over her body. If she did too well, her counselor might hear about it. She wasn't supposed to be using her gift for something like this, but there was no way Alexandria - no, Andras was going to have this power and refuse to use it. She grinned to herself. 'That's right. Andras did that. The Demon Lady, returned from the Void Dream of Purgatory.'

~~

There was snickering and murmurs when she had entered the first round. "Demon lady? Is that even a girl?" "It looks like a stiff breeze could lay her out." "Aren't demons supposed to have red skin?"

But the murmurs turned to silence when she grasped her cards - abstract squares of light that seemed almost ethereal - and dramatically summoned a new one from nowhere. It was a simple move, and didn't require the theatrics, but of course Andras was going to make a show of it. She knew what the card was the second she grasped it. A simple, yet powerful spell.

"Listen girl, I'm sorry to do this, but you knew what you were getting into with this. You can give up now if you want, but I'm not going to think twice if you don't." Her opponent prattled on, not knowing their doom was already sealed.

Andras covered one side of her face with her free hand, giving a low chuckle that rose into a loud laugh. "Your fate is already sealed. If anyone should concede now, it is you. Do you know what magic I hold in my grasp?" She held up the card she had just drawn.

"Some flashy lights aren't going to scare me. What are you going to do, hit me with those?" The opponent scoffed.

Andras continued, almost speaking to the audience more than her opponent. "This is a piece of the Root of All Magic. It was a divine miracle, codified by the miraculous waves sent by the gods of the oceans to protect those they favored. Akashic sages codified it... and now I hold it in my grasp."

"I warned you..." The opponent sprang forward, closing the gap between the two fighters. Their power flared up, tiny spouts of flames welling from where they stepped.

Andras didn't brace herself for the attack. She merely moved her hand forward, the card held between her two fingers. With a flick of her wrist, the card launched forward. The golden glow of the card seemed to change into a blue arrow, before the entire card seemed to burst into a torrential jet of water. The force of the immense wave of water struck Andras's foe directly in their chest, knocking them clean out of the fighting area and sending them careening into the spectator's area. They groaned from their splayed position, unable to stand back up without the help of nearby spectators.

"The ocean is a cruel mistress. Perhaps another time for you." Andras replied, grinning as she turned to the crowd.

~~

It was taking all her nerve to stop from erratically hopping with joy. She had managed to play it cool and even throw in a perfect one-liner. Alexandria was truly, for a moment, the demon Andras in that match. It mixed with a fear of what she might run into next, of course, but her hand of spells was formidable enough. Her cards floated around her as she mulled over their effects in her head. Plenty of possibility, and she still had seven spells left to cast. She was ready for whatever was next. Andras could take on anyone. She had, after all, dragged herself out of much worse and lived to tell the tale.

To Become a Knight! ~ A Chivalric (Mis)Adventure

Lots of people expressing interest, one of them can take my "spot" (if I had one to begin with!). I'll keep an eye on this RP though, if there ever is need for another wave of characters let me know.

Fey's Shoujo/Otome Trash Can -- A few ideas for 1x1 or Small Group Fantasy Romance RPs

I was actually thinking of just playing a conventional character idea for the Knights RP, though I'm not exactly sure what kind of knightsey guy would fit well with the others. My first thought was a mage-turned-knight due to outside pressures, but that might overlap with Rin's so I'll try and feel out other ideas. Unless two magic-oriented knights would be fun? Perhaps a more conventional "protector" type of knight would fit best with everyone else. Someone tall, strong, and ready to put themselves between their comrades and danger.

"Demon" "Mage"

Name: Alexandria Sova
Also goes by Andras

[portrait goes here but the important thing is she has black hair, is short, and wears an eyepatch]

Age: 16

Grade: 1st Year Laurels

Biography:

Alexandria Sova was always a bookish child, who often ended up driving people away through social awkwardness. It was a wonder, then, that she managed to become a part of a trio of tightly knit friends. Her Gift manifested strangely, allowing her to manifest thoughts, concepts, and images from her mind. This led to her forming a bond with another child who had a similar power. Protected by a brash third friend, they lived out their lives without a care in the world, conjuring forth images and scenes that were born from pure imagination.

Until Alex went too far. Or rather, she was intrigued by some quirk in her gift she discovered while playing - and upon experimenting, was swallowed up by her own dream. She became bedridden, comatose, unresponsive. She only awoke over a year later, and even more time to become rehabilitated. But she had emerged changed from the long sleep, and her power was erratic, unpredictable, and so much more powerful. She claimed she had found the source of magic itself, something innate to the world, even more fundamental than the gods.

Or so she says. Many keeping an eye on her noticed her power was manifesting things from her imagination, or from other things she had seen in the past, or even from games she enjoyed. They commented that she may have imagined or dreamed the entire thing up, and her power simply refined itself further to manifest her scatter-brained thoughts into, admittedly, real powers. The erratic and potentially dangerous nature of her power lead her to be privately schooled in managing her power alongside remedial classes to catch up with the classes she had missed.

Alexandria's extended leave from consciousness, loss of sight in one eye, and newfound ability had perhaps intermingled for her to cultivate a new persona - that of a demon mage named Andras. While she tries to keep the facade up, it becomes clear to many that interact with her that she is simply keeping up some kind of delusion, or a stage persona to have for when she enters tournaments, or perhaps she just went a little crazy when she was in a coma.

Powers:

Core: The Root of All Magic

Within Andras's eye there is a link to the source of all magic, beyond even the gods' domain (allegedly). She can use her inward eye to gaze at the Root, catching glimpses of spells at their primordial source (or so she says). These spells crystallize as softly glowing points of light, which Andras can manifest at will (actually has been observed, so probably true). She can cast these spells using the points of light, which she usually calls "cards" (most cards in real life don't glow and float in midair).

The behaviors officer that put together her file after working with her wrote:

"Alexandria's power seems to let her manifest illusions of cards, like from a game, and use them to create actual magical effects. They seem to be 'drawn' from a large and random pool that may be expanding as she considers new effects. While in card form they have no real power, so they seem to be just manifest that way because of Alexandria's preferences. However, she has the ability to 'activate' them to 'cast' the effect of the card, consuming the card in the process. These spells can be from minor tricks, to powerful attacks, to granting supernatural abilities. Nearly impossible to say what she might be able to do from day to day.

She seems to be documenting spells herself, but unfortunately a copy of the notebook she was using is not able to be secured. She was very adamant about not sharing it."

Sub Power: Mana Bond
Once per day, Andras can draw a card from the Root. She can increase the number of draws she gets from this power by forging a mana bond with a trusted friend. This is done through physical contact (like a hug or whatever) and lasts as long as both are okay with it. The bond does not impart any kind of drain on the friend.

Andras is very hesistant to form bonds with someone she doesn't trust as a friend. When prompted why, she never really gives a straight answer, usually haphazardly talking about "grave prophecy" or "reality anchoring" or something similar. ...Maybe she's too shy?

Sub Power (?): Forbidden Knowledge
Andras's connection to the Root is seemingly becoming stronger over time, causing her to obtain more and more spells as she practices. The list of spells she has grows as she witnesses usage of gifts, magic, and her own dreams.

Relationships:

Wolf and Vera: "I-It's kind of daunting to face them now... A lot has happened since we were last together. But we're still friends, right? R-Right?!"

Alyona, The Sum of the World's Evil

Name: Alyona Yenina

Age: 18

Grade: Remedial High Schooling (Mephisto's)

Portrait

files.catbox.moe/gi2spk.png

I'm dumb so the image is probably too big to embed well so here's the link. She dyes her hair often, but never tries out the color red.

Biography: Alyona was born with a twin sister. In some cruel ploy of the gods, one twin was given the powers of a holy relic, while the other became a bearer of unholy curses. While one grew normally and healthily, the other was thin and barely grew at all.

Despite her royal birth and family, she was excluded from participating as soon as her powers were realized. Bringing misfortune everywhere she walked was enough for her family to isolate her, and she soon felt resentment towards them without exception. Despite the family’s wealth, she knew that she would be the last person in line to inherit anything. So she eschewed her family, dying her hair different from her twin sister, taking with her anything she could steal and running away to try and find a different way of life. After all, if all she can do is bring misfortune, maybe she could find a way to use it to her advantage.

Alyona has embraced her life as a walking curse. She assumes by default that people will not like her - so she better get what she can out of them before they realize what she actually is.

She fled her home country with some stolen family treasures and is determined to chase her own dream in Rhea with a fresh start. She has it all, a nice apartment, a good roommate, and... mandatory schooling due to her lack of transcripts and poor testing scores.

Has a childlike fondness for sweets.

Powers:

Core Power: Unholy Vessel - Alyona was blessed by a goddess of curses and misfortune. Some would say that the essence of curses is weaved within her mortal form. Her presence brings poor luck to those around her. Perhaps because of this curse, her body is much different from her stockier twin.

Secondary Power: Aegis of Misfortune - Alyona’s existence is a form of curse. Negative effects such as curses have very little effect to her. However, positive effects have a diminished effect on her as well. She’s so used to negative energy that positive kinds make her feel sick.

Secondary Power: Cursed Touch - Alyona’s curses can be extended to others with a touch. If someone is touched by Alyona for more than a few moments, the curses will prevent positive effects such as healing from affecting the victim for several minutes. Extended bouts of contact with her will prevent even natural healing and rest from aiding the victim.

Secondary Power: Contaminant Bolt - Alyona’s ranged attack are spears of pure negative energy. Containing the raw energy of curses, these weapons pass through physical barriers and leave no wounds, but sap the life force from their target. Hits to muscles will make them sore and stiff as though they have been worked without breaks. These spears can return the life force to Alyona, which heals her (one of the only positive effects that isn’t reduced by Aegis of Misfortune).

Relationships:

Matsuame Kotone

Kotone's phone rumbled. And rumbled. And fell off of her table. That was finally when she couldn't ignore it further. She grumbled and crawled out of her futon, cursing the cold air of her dorm, and unlocked her phone.

It was a string of texts and even a missed call from a friend. One that she told to keep her updated on the happenings of magical girls, becuase Kotone was, "like, such a fan!" Of course, that was merely a cover; Kotone just needed to figure out the others in case they may have ever needed to work together. She quickly pieced together the story. Something big was happening. Big enough that it may be a good time to try and debut... Kotone gulped. She had mainly kept things in the night because she was still coming to terms with her new situation. She shouldn't go out in the broad daylight.

...But she had to. What kind of magical girl would refuse to go after something like this? Kotone ruffled her hair in annoyance. "Why couldn't I have gotten a role that wasn't so sickeningly dutiful?!" She complained aloud. It was already too late. She'd not be able to go back to sleep, or focus on anything else if she knew people could be in danger.

Saving people was what magical girls did.

Standing up, Kotone quickly peered out of her window. The street was clear, for now. She needed to get to the bay quickly, and she'd be a lot faster if she was transformed. She inhaled deeply, retrieving her bow. It was time.

"Hot heat heart~!" She called aloud. It was the activation phrase for her magical transformation. After all, every magical girl had one. She figured this one was fitting enough, for her "barely passing English class" vocabulary. She hoped she never had to do it in public.

Her bow seemed to unfurl, flickering and waving like fire. It spread from her hand to her arm, to across her shoulders. seemingly dousing her entire body in a mysterious white flame. The flame danced around her limbs, giving way to reveal her hands first, then her wrists clad in ornamental strips of cloth, and eventually her arms. The flame dulled from a bright white to a deep red as it reached her body, calming to a low smolder, and eventually solidifying into a dress. Peaking out from the flame like burnt coals were Kotone's cat ears and tail; the sleeves and skirt of her dress were cut to look like tongues of flame, dancing slightly with every movement. And in that instant, she became... Well, she didn't have a magical girl name yet. She really needed to think of one.

Kotone exhaled sharply, curling her hands into a fist as she watched her magical claws fade in and out of existence. It was always a little embarrassing to transform. She had tweaked the costume to have less overdone frills, and be slightly more grown up, but it was still a work in progress. She was just glad that her hair was shorter and she overall looked different enough while transformed to probably avoid suspicion. Though she wondered what would happen to her transformed version's hair if she bleached her hair...

That could wait. She had to get to the source of the disturbance. She bolstered her limbs with magical energy, and leaped out the window without a second thought.

~~

Kotone's claws dug into the roof of a building just along the outskirts of the incident. She was close enough to jump into the fray now; but she had to take stock. There were already... way more out there than she expected. She wasn't the closest to the incident, but she was still amazed how many magical girls (magical people?) showed up already. Maybe things would turn out fine after all? She didn't want to step on any toes, but this was also her time to let everyone know that she was here to help too.

A scream broke out from below, on the street level. Entrances could wait. A straggler must have made it to the streets. Kotone bounded downwards, deftly jumping to street level. A group of oni had began tearing at a shop's door, most likely to get to the people inside. Kotone had to get their attention off of the innocents.

"Stop! In the name of justice!" Kotone wasn't actual sure if she was supposed to be fighting for love, or justice, or some other ideal, but as of right now justice seemed like the right thing. If she was saving her brothers, maybe that would be love. Random people got justice. "I will not allow you to hurt any others!" Kotone didn't actually bother getting a response to her challenge. They were beasts, after all, that would see no reason. The natural enemy of a magical girl. Taking a single step, she launched herself at the pack, her magical claws wide and ready to strike.

Two of them had abandoned their clubs to begin prying at the metal shutters; she would take out the ones that were still armed first. Her claws took one out before it could even react; cut right through the chest, it quickly dropped. The others reeled, baring their tusk-like fangs at her. Kotone's own fangs flashed as she gave them a look of disgust. The three remaining ones began to move to surround her; she wouldn't allow that.

She grunted with exertion as she heaved the impaled body of her first oni victim at one. It bowled its target over, its club clattering on the ground. The remaining two charged her from two different angles, trying to grapple her. She crouched down and bounded into the air, high enough that the two missed her entirely. As they stumbled from their missed maneuver, she came back down, landing on them both, claws first.

The one she had knocked down had scrambled back up and managed to scramble to retrieve its club. Pulling her claws from the two freshly dispatched oni, she readied for its attack. It directly charged her, the club swung overhand to come down on her. Apparently, it didn't have a sense of self-preservation.

Kotone blocked the swing with ease, her claws stopping the club, then curling around it, with crackling fire sparking around it, before the club shattered into smoldering pieces. The oni turned, maybe to run, maybe to retrieve another club, but Kotone was too quick. Her claws cut the monster in two before it could get away.

Kotone grimaced as she flicked her wrist, with a tiny shower of oni blood spraying from her arms. It was messy work, using claws, though she did find them effective. Her arms were still covered, and there was enough of a spray to stain the various parts of her dress that weren't red already. She was just glad that she didn't have to use her fangs for that fight. She wiped her face. These people were safe, but who knows what other stragglers would be doing right now. "Stay indoors until this is all sorted out!" She shouted to the people, before quickly dashing to help others.

Kotone

Name: Matsuami Kotone
Ward: Nakano
Appearance: Black Hair, tied into a waist-length ponytail with a suspiciously cat-ear-shaped ribbon. She is 175cm (so pretty tall). She has a medium sized chest. Varies her outfits often, always trying out new looks. When transformed, her hair shortens considerably, and she gains actual cat ears and tail. Here's a rough sketch of her normal look.

Age: 20
Personality: Kotone insists that she gives everyone a chance. But she is perfectly fine with letting people know when they messed up, loudly, in public. Some label her as sadistic, others just as a stone cold bitch. However, her vanity, abrasiveness, and lack of patience are tempered by being loyal to the small group of friends she has. Her friends insist she isn't as bad as everyone says, at the very least.

She (less than) secretly hopes for the day she gives someone a chance and they turn out to be "the one."

Background: Kotone grew up with two elder brothers. Both of them were somewhat well-known delinquents for their class, and were often in trouble for fighting. Despite their record of misconduct, Kotone always looked up to her older brothers. Some say that's where she started to get her rough edges.

Kotone gained a reputation for being high-maintenance during high school. She famously dumped a freshman who confessed to her within an hour, and never seemed to hold a relationship for long, often overhearing the boys trying to talk the freshmen out of confessing to her. Relationship issues aside, Kotone insists that she had a great time in high school.

Despite middling grades, she did manage to enter a university, but this most recent magical girl development has really changed how she was figuring her future. She reluctantly prowls the streets of her ward at night, having enough of a sense of justice to understand that she should protect people since she has the ability to.

She was hoping her adult life would have her working at something less... childish.

Magical Powers

Patron: Ovinnik, the slavic demon that appeared to people as a black cat. It protected farms from evil spirits and fae, but would inflict its revenge if not fed by burning buildings and eating grain stores. Allegedly. She's trying to up the PR of the thing by only burning the bad guys.
Patron Tool: Mysterious cat ear ribbon. At times it seems to move like real cat ears.
Patron Weapon: Claws. Her teeth are also magic weapons, if you really piss her off.
Patron Aspect: Fiery Spite
Aspect Magic: Kotone's blood while transformed is fire. No, I mean, literally. Cut her and your knife will burst into flames. Inflicting a wound on her in close range will likely leave the assailant burned, if not on fire. She is unharmed by her own burning blood, and non-magical fires.

Due to her burning blood her normal magical weapons (especially the bite) are capable of catching flammable objects on fire as well, even if her blood isn't drawn. Rumors have it that the burning is more likely the angrier she is, but there's no proof that survived.

Other skills: Surprisingly good at grilling. Excellent at mixing drinks, and has a good memory for cocktail recipes. Has a typing speed of 80 words per minute.
