We'll need to figure out what the Royce looks like, I was trying to get some inspiration from the actual cars and translate that to a ship. But I am sHIT with describing that. We can brainstorm it~

Chapter 1

_{January 12 2079}

Varya nodded when Oleg beat a quick retreat, someone pulling his attention away. The work order popped up on her tablet. She blinked then swiped through the order, reading the details. Artem’s hand nearly retracted when she had blatantly ignored it.

She tugged it back with a rough shake of her own, “Kozlov. Call me Varya.” She mumbled then let his hand go. One foot steadying on the hover dolly.

The tech hummed as she scrolled then passed it to Artem. “Looks like it’s a rush order, just pulled in and the vehicle is still cold. We’ll need to warm her up.” Kicking the dolly in front of her she assumed Artem followed as she made her way through the shop toward the docking bays. She made a quick stop at the power tool workbench signing out a couple space heaters. With some difficulty she hauled the large industrial sized heaters onto her dolly, awkwardly sidestepping with both hands on the leather handles. The dolly groaned and flared weakly in protest with a complaint at the weight, she loaded two. Then with both hands she pushed them into the bay.

Down the line of vehicles parked mechanics worked through their own orders of the day. Some complained mildly of their stubborn persistent problems. Others hummed, happy with their compliant project. Otherwise the atmosphere among the tech and mechanics was always a light one. Oleg commanded respect, doled out fair work for everyone and had a knack for managing people. He paid attention to skills as much as he paid attention personalities, pairing up accordingly. It was a lot of work to take such care, but while he had expectations for all his employees he never asked of them what he wouldn’t ask of himself.

Varya certainly held him in high regard, the man had given her a chance where others laughed her out of her incomplete education. She earned her position as a tech in the shop.

Bay doors opened and closed around them, brushing cold January air lifting the hair on the back of her neck she they walked down the line.

When they arrived to the vehicle, it’s wings were still frosty, in serious need of deicing. The electrical panels off to the side of the cockpit needed to be thawed before they could access anything really. The only areas warmed were engines. The pilot hopped out, looking at the ice with a whistle. “Whoops, be sure to chip it all off. Let the deicer actually dry this time, wrenchmonkees.” He was stylishly dressed, a professional chauffeur with a shit attitude to match.

Varya stared at him, gritted teeth, an aspect of the job she hated was dealing directly with the clientele.

“Right away, sir.”

Time: After Class - Present Day
Location: Homeroom - DWMA

Diligently a ballpoint pen scratched across a notebook. Keywords, definitions, and even jot notes lined down the page. Notes that were enviable at first glance for their organization and concise tutelage over easy-to-read handwriting. Henry, the long haired scruffy looking Halloway twin made his school work look comparable to art. His black dress shirt was untucked, lazily two buttons were actually buttoned to shamelessly fail in hiding his band shirt. Black jeans with wrinkles and a pair of comfortable brown sandals.

Peter, the other Halloway twin had his notes, scratching through commentary of his own to keep focused throughout another repetitive lesson from the infamous Professor Stein. Both twins were in their school uniforms, Peter immaculately formal in his default black suit, sporting the school’s logo over his right breast pocket. His uniform was ironed to be wrinkle free, pressed black slacks with shiny dress shoes, his square framed glasses polished with hair cut stylishly close to his head. In the horrible heat, even as the Illinois native Peter was, he never complained.

Between them sat their partner, Vanille. Staring off into space as per usual. Her notepad completely empty.

When the bell rang she shook free of the boredom spell, both twins packed away their school supplies. Henry carried his things in his arms while Peter slide his things into a shoulder bag. Henry stretched, letting out a sigh as his back popped. “Mildly interesting wouldn’t you agree Vani?”

“Utterly electrifying,” Peter replied dryly. “C’mon Vanille. Let’s go, we’ve got shit to do and there’s AC in the car.”

When he didn’t receive a reply he cranked her head up, “Earth to Vani, do you read us? Shit to do means combat training, you know.” He let her go throwing his hands up. “Your favourite thing.”

Henry chuckled brushing hair from his eyes to squint down at her, “I call shotgun, get first dibs on the radio. Not to mention there’s that pop quiz for Professor Jekyll we have to study for. He is horrible for trick questions.” He groaned, only taking a little imagination on how that would go.

They waited for their partner to join them, filing out from the lecture hall.

Name
Peter & Henry Halloway

Nickname/Alias
N/A

Age
16

Gender
Male

Race
Demon Weapons

Appearance: Peter
Peter Halloway stands at a tall 6'1", on the skinnier side, not much muscle but rough calloused hands from working at a mechanic shop. Weighing in at around 155 lbs. Stylishly cut brown hair, close to his head. Wears square black frame glasses, and often seen in formal wear. Bright blue eyes. His formal wear carries onto his school uniform, having picked the most formal amongst the uniforms provided by DWMA. Black suit jacket adorned with the Death skull on his right breast pocket, white dress shirt, and black slacks.

Appearance: Henry

Henry Halloway stands at a tall 6'1" dips an inch because of his slouch, a little pudge on his stomach, his fingertips are often dry and rough from finger picking while playing the guitar. Weighing in at around 165 lbs. His hair long and straight, dips down to his lower back. Often keeps it down but loves to occasionally braid it or put it up in a bun. Chooses to wear contact lenses instead of glasses. His style is often clothing he dug through at a thrift store save for the band shirts he collects from a concert or scrounges up used. Bright blue eyes. His uniform is the long sleeved dress shirt unbuttoned with his favourite band shirt beneath it and a pair of black jeans.

Peter's Personality

Flirtatious:
"Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date?"

Judgemental:
"I'm going to insist on not trusting him, I mean look how he decided to leave the house today."

Car Nut:
"Gently! This car is older than you!""

Quick Witted:
“Instead of arguing with me you could be out there doing something about it. My dear you will only be wasting my time.”

Peter has a sharp mouth on him, very observant in and out of a fight. His flirtatious nature can sometimes come off rather corny at times, but his string of past relationships both starting and ending in healthy ways really spoke volumes more of his ability to be a rather considerate in a relationship. His interest in weapon lineage, cars and fashion round out his life outside of the Academy. A good head on his shoulders easily the most disciplined twin, eager to see through collecting two hundred souls with his brother.

Henry's Personality

Against Authority
"Don't tell me what to do, I'll be going at my own pace."

Laid Back
"Relax, there's no point to get all stressed out and uppity."

Music Snob:
"Oh my God, how have you not heard of Queen? This is embarrassing."

Studious:
“Hit the books, the punching bag has been hit enough today.”

Henry is on the sensitive side, astutely aware of other people's moods and shifts. Though not enough to get in the way of Peter's more abrasive personality traits. They agree on most things but will pull him aside to set a record straight if need be. A good buffer for his brother. Content to go with the flow until someone tries to control or restrict his ability to learn. Can't stand authority figures, shows to have a snarky side when he feels like he's being leashed. He does take advantage of the immense resources that DWMA offers its students, but his outward appearance would suggest otherwise his knowledge base is subpar. He loves to prove those assumptions wrong.

Backstory
Twins born and raised in Cincinnati, Indiana USA. Their weapon abilities manifested around the same time, Peter's was first and Henry's followed shortly after him at the age of 12. An awkward first couple of years adjusting to the magnetic pulls and pushes of his abilities, before too long him and his brother were sent to DWMA to learn to control their new powers. Their parents encouraging for their development. It was after their first year of attending DWMA that their mother passed away in her sleep due to a unfortunate aneurysm caused by blood thinning medication, when a fall resulted in a unchecked ruptured vein in her brain. Her death was abrupt, and gave the twins no chance to say goodbye. The completely preventable causes of her death simply rubbed salt in the wound.

Their mother’s passing cut deeply for the young brothers, processing their grief in their own unique ways. Initially they had planned to separate once they enrolled at DWMA, it took some convincing from Peter to ahead with their original plan eventually Henry conceded, admitting to being terrified of losing his brother in a similar way without the chance to say goodbye.

Freedom to have time to himself and a meister partner helped Henry open up, helped him grow outside of his crutch that was depending on his brother. In his grief found himself taking comfort of their mother's passing in studying Pneumatology, the study of the soul. A subject usually reserved for meisters to know but Henry had taken to it with great interest. Without Peter there to constantly nag him over how he dressed or how he groomed himself, Henry quite literally let those things go. Choosing a laid back lifestyle to match his attitude. He was never a huge fan of combat training, or athleticism. Instead he focused on his grades. Some would call him a couch potato but his mind was as sharp as some of the top grading students in EAT classes, and the test scores showed for it.

While Peter showed detail orientated intelligence and picked up studying weapon lineages with interest. Ever since arriving to Death City Peter showed an intense interest in vintage cars and had a knack for working on engines in his spare time. He was hired at a local mechanic's shop part time as an apprentice. From there they dragged in a shell of a 1968 Ragtop Chevy Camaro telling him that was his project. Peter worked night and day on that car, scraping together his meager paychecks to save and afford the parts he needed. He replaced leather upholstery, did custom paint jobs, and rebuilt the engine from scratch. When it was complete he had his full driver's licence and drives it everywhere. Often says it as his favourite place to be.

In the first few years working with different partners they really grew as people and individuals. Their differences growing more stark each year, but never once straining their bond as twins. It wasn't until they decided to come back together, finding their effectiveness was exponentially upped when they fought together.

Together now they settled on their newest meister partner. How well they fared as a trio would surely show a great deal of ambition in their partner, willingly taking the workload of turning not one but two weapons into death scythes. Creating a death scythe being a common goal for all EAT students.

Soul Magnet Daggers

Partner Name
Vanille Bourbon

Weapon Form
Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Daggers

Weapon Form: Peter


Opposite to his brother Henry. His blade in weapon form is grey steel, embedded in the base of the blade just above the hilt is the positive + symbol. The blade glows blue, along with the symbol when Peter resonates with his meister. The blade itself grows in a few inches of length, along with the steel band on the meister's wrist growing larger to protect more surface area, the wristband has the positive + symbol embedded in it.

Shape of Soul:

Peter's soul is largely positive in magnetic charge.

Weapon Form: Henry


Henry's soul is largely if not completely negative in magnetic charge. Opposite to his brother Peter. His blade in weapon form is dark black steel, embedded in the base of the blade just above the hilt is the negative - symbol. The blade glows blue, along with the symbol when Henry resonates with his meister. The blade itself grows in a few inches of length, along with the steel band on the meister's wrist growing larger to protect more surface area, the wristband has the negative - symbol embedded in it.

Shape of Soul:

Henry's soul is largely negative in magnetic charge.

Abilities/Skills

Shared Abilities/Skills:

Sensing Soul Charge:
Due to their nature as a soul magnet, Henry and Peter can sense the charge of the soul. Different from soul perception, they cannot discern shape or moral alignment.

Soul Lasso:
When Peter and Henry have sensed a soul for its magnetic alignment they can be thrown around their target to create a lasso for their meister to pull. Depending on the strength of the soul, (if it is resonating, large in general, or witch’s soul) would affect their ability to pull them, stronger souls require higher soul resonance.

Magnet Push
A full force of a push against the target's soul directly. Individually magnet push only works on the similar charge of their own soul charge. Peter can only push against positive soul charged targets and Henry can only push against negatively soul charged targets.

Magnet Pull:
An undirected pull, similar to Soul Lasso and the opposite of magnet push. When used together they can pull around any target, as individuals they can only pull their opposite in soul charge.

Basic Combat Training:
Henry knows how to defend himself, though lacks muscle to do so successfully. While Peter knows how utilize himself well enough if they are isolated. Henry usually defaults to his weapon form to be wielded by Peter in a fight away from their meister. Peter took combat classes for weapons regularly while he attends DWMA.

First Aid Training:
Both twins know how to apply first aid.

Peter's Unique Skills:

Misc Skills - Driving/Mechanical skills:
Peter knows how to drive and works part time at a local mechanic's shop. He rebuilt his blue 1968 Chevy ragtop Camaro from scraps. Considered generally talented after working there for a few years. The Camaro is his pride and joy.

Henry's Unique Skills:

Information Sponge:
Henry is considered the 'smart' brother of the two, soaks up information, classes, and new subjects like a sponge. Much prefers learning what he needs to know from a book then the hard way in a dojo.

Misc Skill - Guitar Player:
He loves music and loves to play music. Owns an acoustic guitar and is often seen practicing, he is quick to pick up on new songs.

Soul Resonance:

Soul Resonance Technique - Complete the Circuit:
Fully synchronized with their weapon partners, they affectionately dub it Complete the Circuit. Their weapon forms grow in size, begin to glow and with immense concentration, practice and honing of skill they are able to project a magnetic field as their meister's soul swells in size. Their techniques become more powerful, strong souls they weren't able to budge before now resist a noticeable pull/push on their soul.

Experimental Technique - Static Shield
An experimental technique the twins have attempted with past partners. The Static Shield can be described as a soul charge crackling across their meister's body. By quickly pushing and pulling against the meister's soul in a strange inverse soul resonance they create a static charge around their body to protect from stray projectiles, rough falls, and restraints. In its current form, with a strong enough soul resonance they can roughly get their meister's entire body outlined but it often drains the meister's stamina.

Extra
As iterated in their backstory, Peter and Henry are the most effective when used in conjunction. While they do show some potential as individuals, they are best suited together. As they sense soul charge, no individual is without both positive and negative soul charge, even as opposites both twins have a sliver of their opposite soul charge. Their meister will have a largely balanced soul charge of both positive and negative, able to wield both successfully.

The twins do maintain a good relationship with their father, Jack Halloway whom makes frequent trips to Death City to visit his sons. The twins currently reside in the DWMA dormitories.
