Cristina rolled her eyes at her client’s words, it wasn’t the first time a client did their homework and showed pity at her past. At first she let it slide but now it was getting annoying. Maybe one day she will slice the tongue of the next guy who mentioned it, her contract and reputation be damned.

She listened as the old man began listing his life story to her, perhaps it was because he was old, or this the first time the government actually hired her services but she begins to think that people in the military love hearing their own voice? Now that she contemplated it, that was true for a good number of her clients.

Or maybe they are just trying to ease her up in a desperate bid to officially recruit her, both are equally plausible if she looked at it.

Her face showed a tinge of sympathy at learning about Angelito’s condition, she might be a mercenary but there was a part of her that admires the Hero of ASEAN. For her, he was one of the reasons she could still continue her search for Basillia.

For everything else however it was only met with resignation and disappointment. “So nothing had actually changed despite the grandeur and triumph of that revolution.” she answered. “It’s similar to running in circles don’t you think?.”

She then watched as the old man summoned his Noble Arm, a mirror of all things to show her the task she is about to undergo.

But first she witnessed the treasonous actions of her fellow countrymen, in a nation that needs to be united, there are those who would see it rather fall divided. She would not miss them when they are gone.

She stared at the former speaker, one Flores Pagkanta that she had seen at websites and newspapers. This country could really use more competent politicians if only she knew where she could find them.

She took a deep breath and compiled the information inside her head. There are a few things that she could use a clarification and a thing that doesn’t line up.

“If I were to take this job, I would need a definition of your justice. Am I to drag her to the nearest court, or send her to whatever God she prays to? What about her protection details, had you compiled something or should I go in blind and lastly…”

She stared at the officer’s eyes as she tried to make the best impression of her sister. There is more to this situation than what was spoken and her former experiences are telling there is something.

“Why did you hire me? This task is something you should give to your best agents, not a freelancer who wasn’t even allowed to drink liquor under this country's law? Isn’t that a little bit sketchy, is it?”

The night had begun to set in the red light district of Angeles City and despite the tension provided by the war, the nightlife still moves as usual. The mob marching to some place however tells her that the tension had begun creeping in at some places. If this offer went bust or ended quickly, she could easily search for another job to fulfill her war chest.

After all, conflict creates demand for protection, protection she is uniquely suited to offer to the highest bidder. Noble Arm users are rare, the ones not affiliated to anything were rarer. Who wouldn’t want a bullet resistant Arms Master to be their bodyguard?

Still that doesn’t mean she was blind to the reality of her position, when compared to her fellow Masters she was actually at a lower level, even at her state she wasn’t sure if she could beat her sister at the first moment she unlocked hers.

She pushes those thoughts away, whatever she thinks of herself she must strive to keep it from affecting her job. She only needs to live and find her sister, then after that…

…get the happy ending they promised to claim together.

She took a deep breath and entered the designated meeting place, a love motel which would be an odd choice for a girl as young as her but there are things that had ensured that no one would bat an eye. The first one was the fact that this particular establishment was used to receiving students who want to share a night of passion and they will assume it is the same from her.

It might be illegal or immoral in the eyes of others but red light districts don't really care for such things.

It took her a while before she reached the locked door of room 307, there was no code or secret messages arranged between her and the client, just a proof of identity needed to be presented.

Sinagtala, a night colored sword materialized out of her hands and in a single swing a tear to Imaginary Space was created. After all, the best way to identify an Arms Master was through the arms they are wielding.

In a single leap the Imaginary Space was breached and a wall passed through.

In a single moment, Cristina materializes inside the room and in front of his client.

“Good evening gentlemen, to whom do I owe the pleasure of doing business with?”

Appearance:



Name: Cristina Bernardino

Age: 17

Nationality: Filipino

Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Sinagtala(Starlight), a complete dark blade with multiple white spots that is comparable to the stars in a night sky.

Noble Arm Rank: C


Noble Arm Type: Melee
Element Space
Range: Close to Mid Range

Noble Arm Abilities:

Rip Space- Cristina can create a tear in spacetime by swinging her blade, allowing her to capture anything smaller than the size of a small truck that passed through into a pocket dimension she called the Imaginary Space. Her next swing would release everything she captured.
-Cross Space- Cristina can hide inside the tear instead allowing her to temporarily access the Imaginary space for herself and move across it for a maximum amount of 30 seconds. While inside this space she cannot interact with objects in the real world.

Addendum: If someone was partially captured inside the Imaginary Space like having a limb covered, they will automatically be sucked into it.

Shooting Star- Cristina can fire starlight projectiles from her sword. They have homing properties and explode on contact with force equal to a grenade.
-Blinding Star- A variant of the Shooting Star skill where instead of an explosive blast, a flash of blinding light was instead released.

Mirage Space- Cristina's greatest technique which allows her to indiscriminately trap everyone in a 30 meters long dome of the Imaginary Space . While inside Amelia has the ability to fly, fire sword beams and teleport in exchange for taking a huge strain in her body and inability to activate Rip Space due to being already inside the Imaginary Space. This ability can be canceled with overwhelming power, by defeating Amelia or voluntary deactivation.

Misc Abilities:

Swordsmanship- Cristina after the activation of her Noble Arm had sought to master the usage of her weapon, studying and practicing forms she could find until she completed a personal style.

Intrigue- Life as an mercenary had made Cristina naturally observant, allowing her to figure out the intent behind someone's words and determine if she's being swindled.

Pain Tolerance- Cristina's ability to make herself believe that she can endure more damage was far higher than the average. During her time in the facility, she will get her bones broken, muscles torn, body bleeding and tell herself to just 'finish the task'. This served her well when taking blows from other Arms Masters.

Personality: Straight to the point and doesn't mince her words. She will uphold her end of the bargain as long as the other side doesn't screw her over. Has a soft spot for children and silent bloodlust for combat.

*Likes: Night Sky watching, fighting people, children

*Dislikes: Torturers, Liars, beating around the bush

Fears: There was a silent possibility that her reunion with her sister won't be the heartfelt moment she thought it would be.

Bio: An orphan who doesn't know the identity of her parents, a young Cristina has always been aware of the struggles of life but always believes that with help of her wiser, clever older sister Basilia. This belief has persisted even when they are both sold by their orphanage to be trained in an STP program with the hopes of them developing their own Noble Arms.

It was hard, it was grueling and sometimes she wondered if she was in hell but with Basilia’s support she managed to push through the program despite failing to develop a Noble Arm unlike her sister. Things for a while are looking up for the two.

That was until one day, when the members of the Downward Descent suddenly attacked the facility, killing everyone in their path. Man, woman and children every single one of them was slain while some fled to the scene. Cristina was one of those who escaped from the attack while Basilia bought her time to escape.

Cristina ran until her legs gave out and she herself passed out. When she woke up, she learned that the facility was burned to ashes and she is one of the few survivors. She also learned their treatment of their students was actually illegal to the point of being considered torture.

When everything sank in and Cristina made a promise to herself under that night sky.

She knew her sister was alive and that she would find her.That was when Sinagtala appeared in her hands as if it was a silent gift.

From that moment forward she works as a freelancer for people, doing escort missions, espionage tasks and even extracting kidnapped children. That was until she received an offer from someone

*Current Goal: Find her sister or at least find out what happened to her.
