"So this is what I get to choose from, hmm? A curious set of choices, oh Divine Spirits of a most curious nature. I believe my choice is clear then, given my background and existing skillset. A new tool on my belt for my new life that should prove useful to supplement what I already can do by myself.
Ah. And curses did not exist where I came from, rest assured, but here I believe things will be different simply from that statement of yours.
Let's see how this new life goes, shall we?"

So Tough is basically raising non-magical defenses, like how durable or resilient one's body is-
-but Recover is on the other hand basically the lowest level tier of some kind of regeneration fueled by one's magical power passively?
I hope I got that right.
I am tempted by type analysis because it would fit so well, and setting magic to auto-cast would be something that feels about as good since her learning magic is something I'd like, but ranking up some kind of regeneration into a potent skill would be...kinda fitting for her after this death.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa

@Zeroth Well, here goes something! If we have some average people and a boxer and an ex-Soviet as concepts so far, then I will add another oddity to the growing pile! :P
@Crusader Lord He's being a derp. We've been buds for....like 15 years at this point
Fair. But I had to go full derp in return out of respect. XD
Another subject returns to grovel at the feet of the true Demon King! *laughs maniacally while posing*
NANI?!?!
@ReusableSword We meet again at once of these sorts of RPs! XD

Kiyome, The Draconic Protector
And
Kiyome, The Draconic Protector
“Yeah, I’ve got eyes on them. Plus I know Alicia. She is good people.”
”Once Myra and Finn are secured don’t stick around. Queen of hearts is being waylaid by unknown party, that is throwing Beacon under the bus at the same time. Could be more hostiles.”
"Acknowledged."
Not much to say in response to that, really. Enemy was hitting the point they would overwhelm and take this ruined heap of a place people had once lived in, and the defenders were going to bug out. Likewise some idiot was attacking the final end boss enemy commander and drawing attention to themselves. Not that those were the idiots she was here to help, of course, as they'd chosen their lot in things by their own actions.
‘Hahahahaha! It worked!’ Mayra laughed out loud as she flew.
‘Haeeey! I went over there specifically to save silly idiots choosing to fight the head honcho! If you go over there now, I went for nothing!’
Then the sword-swinging monarch glanced in her humble direction for a moment.
Ah. That look as if she'd seen a pest. What did the Queen here think she was, some knight in shining armor? Hah. No, she was just here to get idiots out of the line of fire. What was she, ten years old? What this person thought of her was nothing of consequence to her. Nothing she cared about unless such a person made certain mistakes they would only ever live to regret in the end. Mistakes one couldn't take back no matter how hard they tried...
...she understood that kind of mistake in some capacity, perhaps. But what the Queen had revealed even before her eyes, and frankly said aloud to boot, was more than somewhat interesting information. Curious.
Regardless, Kiyome would without a beat move on to using use a spell to send herself back to where Eliana was instead of attacking the Queen of Hearts. Given others were doing the job of distraction and tossing away their lives it was a true no-brainer for her in this case. She'd come in, done what she'd come to do, and now was getting out of there without pushing things further. Simple. Tactical. Practical. She'd maintain her stance, for what it was worth, and keep her eyes open as well though. Just in case.
Then unless the Queen tried to stop her or such that is the Draconic Swordswoman would reappear near her mistress once more, before putting a hand to the earpiece once more to talk to Penny.
"I sent one idiot-saving idiot dragon and a now-headless-but-not-dead guy were sent back into town. Got out of there as soon as I as an idiot could afford to afterward. Unknown party is likewise getting slammed into the metaphorical floor as we speak, so this whole place is going to collapse any time now."
The monster girl then looked about herself and the scene around them.
"Seems your friend Alicia, my mistress, and the others got the civilians out by now as well.
Feel free to contact me at any time using this earpiece. You seem level-headed enough among the people here.
This is Kiyome, over and out."
And that was that, at least for now.
They had managed to get all of the civilians out of there, and yet at the same time it hadn't been without cost or bloodshed either. As others beyond herself augmented Alex's barrier, and she worked with the others to get the civilians out, Lily had taken a beating of sorts. Or rather, her metamorphosis'd self was eventually stopped in its rampaging tracks as she seemed to fizzle out as well. A leg, blown right off at the worst possible time. It made the gypsy magical girl want to rush over and help, but as the tailed boy (Alex) swooped in and pulled the injured girl out of there she couldn't help but feel some kind of relief at that. Relief that the other girl was hopefully going to be ok, that is.
And then one of the new arrivals, whom she'd felt some sense of wanting to talk to for being so bubbly even in these circumstances, seemed to snap at the enemies. Apparently they'd killed, er, destroyed? Whichever it was, the enemy done that to an apparently friendly pillow that magical girl's own magic had created. Or so it seemed.
At the same time, others seemed to begin congregating toward the teleporter the Beacon arrivals had brought with them. Certainly a means of escape for sure, but as Kiyome reappeared next to her Eliana felt a small weight come off of her back. Alive, just still just as hurt as before, but alive and intact. It did not stop her from running over to the side of her ally, however, and attempting to help move her toward the teleporter after she seemed to speak over that odd earpiece again. Not that this was anything to pause and talk about right now, as it were.
She wanted to help the others get out as well, but at the same time couldn't ignore her own ally's condition as well. The draconic woman would not hesitate to toss her life out there again if she felt it would serve things. Indeed, the gypsy magical girl's face was in a distinctly worried but somewhat frustrated pout as her helper didn't resist her at all in being assisted over toward the teleporter.
"We're leaving now...the civilians are out, and I won't see you hurt worse here. Not this time."
"Heh. I'm touched. But that's my line, mistress, and its sounds so very odd coming from your mouth."
Kiyome very briefly cracked a small smile, though her tone seemed slightly sarcastic. Yet the small prod in her usual 'humor' would at least turn Eliana's own pout into something less so at least. Not that this was the first time they'd had such an exchange. The gypsy knew that if her ally was in the shape to talk like that on the fly, she was going to be ok. Bullet-riddled body and broken legs and cheeky comments and all.
"I simply hope we are allowed to pass through safely in this instance, but we've little options. I order you not to push yourself too far, however, even if it is to help us escape safely."
Hopefully the teleport took them not into the middle of a Beacon facility. Hopefully. Otherwise her Patron would likely come up in arms if someone tried to nab them like that on the spot in such a place. That wouldn't be good. No no no. Very much not good for them or anything in the vicinity really. Also the two horror minions carrying those two guns Kiyome had procured would come with them too.
Eliana would at least make sure to politely and kindly ask Aurelio if he could send them not into the middle of a Beacon base once they got to the teleporter. Maybe into a nice city or such, or Penrose if he knew the destination. They had to get to Penrose in general, as far as their standing orders from their Patron were concerned.

Serenity Gates
The magical maid felt nothing but relief as the last of the civilians was taken away by the teleporter, but the advance of Wonderland forces on their position was far from over. The town was falling, and they could not do anything but try to escape with their own lives now. Worse was the return of the dragon girl with the oversized sword, and the chill presence it permeated the air with. That vile, disgusting filth that both made her stomach turn and sent terror into her very bones, that was what that gypsy and that monster girl served. No doubts about it, but she took very distinct care to avoid them as they seemed to make their way toward the teleporter to attempt to escape as well.
Would Aurelio send them to somewhere else instead of the base? Maybe to the Inquisition Facility she'd been inside...ah.
No she didn't want to start anything, please not right now. She still had to ask about Penny at base, find a chance to talk to Cardinal Ishtar, talk to Alicia and the others, likely go on more missions, etc. She'd barely just gotten back! Trying to start something with THOS, of all beings, would not benefit anything or anyone at Beacon or otherwise right now. That much she felt to be sure.
A shudder did run down her back after she ran past the teleporter and to where Alicia was, however, trying to distance herself from the presence. More so, however, without thinking she wouldn't want to leave her allies behind at the first opportunity either. So it went without saying that she went to where Alicia was and began to launch attacks of her own, waves of duplicates of her weapon being fired out in arcs into the enemy lines. Wherever knives hit the sides of machines or got stuck in the ground, well, such knives would channel her magic to spawn a tentacle to wildly and mightily lash out at and try to tear down enemy equipment they were attached to or thrash enemy troops within striking range.
"I'll back you up too, Alicia!"
Maybe this would help buy time for the others to escape as well, or at least supplement Alicia's efforts in that sense.

Lillianna Steiner
"Morning Lilly pad-
You alright there?"
To say it was at least nice that someone popped their head in to see if she was ok was a thing. To say that it wasn't slighhtly surprising for Zell to pop in out of the blue, or what felt like it in a groggy waking-up state at least, would have been a lie. It did make the mage jump a little when Zell came over to talk to her.
"...Ugh. Relatively ok."
Her response was generally groggy and sore sounding, not that it would perhaps be very surprising that it was.
'Relatively ok' was right, could always be a lot worse she figured, but Zell walked off and she moved to sit up on the edge of her little shelter Lillianna would try to pull her bedhead hair back out of her face as she looked over the others. Seemed everyone had rested well, and no weather to boot since the last night. All in all a successful camping event, if she had to call it something, though it made her little shelter feel...ugh. Nope. No more thinking about it, she was going to get ready to hit the road!
Though as she got up and began to tidy her things up, Lillianna wondered why she hadn't come with a bedroll like the others seemingly had. A cruel trick of fate? A bad day for the magic tossing her in late? Something else? She had no idea.
This was going to be a long day of more walking regardless, so before the group would leave she'd make sure to chew on half of the jerky from her second ration. Something to keep her going a bit at least. Maybe fill up water before they left too, actually, as she'd drained her water skin dry.
As they walked along, the mage carrying the cube closely in one arm as her staff was held in the other, she would mull to herself over what had been happening with the cube and herself. At least what had happened so far. The reaction she'd gotten from it was certainly something, and then her dream this morning had been-
"I reckon if ya can't build no stick house maybe you can magic up a breakfast eh Miss Lili?"
"I wish I could, but the most I've got is maybe electrocuting some unfortunate animal to death for food. Could always try out the nearest lake for that.
Wouldn't be the Fillet O' Fish you'd want though, you'll have to talk to a manager about that one."
Lillianna ran a hand down her face afterward, though despite attempting to play along verbally nothing but a small sigh escaped her somewhat still-tired lips and somewhat 'exasperated' tone of voice. Sleep, after becoming exhausted enough, had eventually come to her. It wasn't her own bed back home, nothing ever would be again she figured, but it had worked out well enough. Maybe a bit more bedding next time she made a shelter, really, though when it'd ever come in handy she had no idea.
But that blasted dream had left her waking up all of a sudden. She could still recall it properly even now, which was odd for a dream.
A pair of giant red eyes, looking in on her. A similar sensation of power in that gaze as when she'd sensed from afar when she'd touched the cube earlier when Adam had come to her shelter to offer her fish. Her mind had thrown the sensation aside for a little bit, but thinking on the dream again now it all came back to her mind as well. A magical nightmare, perhaps? Considering the fact she could use magic, that is, and that this thing was found in the center of an undead leading-...wait.
This cube was inside of the center of a stronger undead leading a force of undead. Upon its loss, the rest of the undead enemies had fled. That much she knew. She'd had her suspicions earlier, but the last two incidents with herself and the cube were indicative of something. A connection, powerful but far away, which was of a magical sort. That certainly helped her theories about it's nature.
And then it finally clicked into place.
"...Oh Shi-"
This was connected to the one who had made it, and had been placed inside a leader of a force of undead constructs. This thing wasn't just some random magical cube, this was a magical remote control device of some kind.
There were a few ways she could theorize about it, but what were the facts she knew for sure right now?
The leader falls and the device hits the ground, right after which the enemy force collapses into retreat. As if the morale had broken or something...or the line of remote control had been broken. So it needed the vessel to work, the 'outer shell' it was put inside, to do whatever it was doing.
It also reacted to her and gave her a thrumming, magical sensation akin to her staff. Yet this one was like something very far away was connected to it, that she could feel through it, but whatever that distant thing was was likewise very powerful. Magically very powerful, if she followed the logic this far.
That enemy force was that of the 'Witch Queen', and if this individual was a magic user employing the undead to fight for her then it made sense that they would be more than familiar with the methods of necromancy and necromantic tools. Tools such as a core made to direct, control, or create an undead. Including, presumably, creating necromantic tools or devices to compel an undead force into battle remotely.
Well, not that she knew how the undead worked in this world anyway. She was already making the comparison to a remote-controlled car as she was doing in her head right now, though, so it felt reasonable enough to continue with that comparison for the time being due to a lack of knowledge of this new world she was in.
So therein was a cohesive(-ish?) theory in the end. Make a core for creating a special undead, then use it to create an undead 'leader' to direct the undead forces remotely. Undead leader is sent into battle, commanding the undead force which is being compelled by the magic of the device used to make said leader. Leader with the core is cut down, making the core just a component part again and effectively non-functional in that state. This removes the magic compelling the force of undead, which force crumbles and dissolves.
The information racing through the mage's head made her take pause, long enough that Fenna had by then gotten up the tree she went to climb and back down again.
"I don't think skeletons will be our only concern," she stated. "I saw an animal run away that was large enough to be a concern if there are more of them."
Mustering up the nerves to try to do something now, Lillianna walked a few steps forward to put herself in the middle of the other party members (rather than the back of the pack where she'd been standing thus far). Her face seemed to suddenly be covered in some sweat, not that they could see the likewise cold sweat running down her back at the same time, and her skin seemed a bit more pale...like she'd just seen a ghost or something of the sort.
"Umm...w-we actually have might have much more of a problem than, er, any of that actually. A much bigger problem.
I just realized what this cube is, as well as who made it I think, and the enemy maybe knows we have it and potentially knows where we were camping last night."
The words came out clunky feeling from her mouth, the nerves apparent in her speaking now at least, but she spoke loud enough to try to get everyone to hear her as she glanced around whilst speaking to the group.
At the same time, it was also a very sudden and out of the blue claim as well, and in her mind the panic about potentially being laughed at or not believed was very real. Because how would this not sound utterly silly, if not preposterous at that, to just say in the middle of things without so much as a hint of warning beforehand? Much less being the last, and perhaps least-acquainted thus far, member of the group...or, well, that's how she felt about herself at least by this point in time.
