Aline Flores Azevedo

⦋ 21 || Brazilian & Filipino || She/her ⦌

OVERVIEW

---

APPEARANCE

Aline often complains that her brother got all the good looks from their parents, and she didn’t, but that mostly stems from an irrational lack of confidence due to inheriting her mother’s height and flat chest. She’s actually quite pretty - not that it’s even something she puts importance on in the first place. At 5’2” Ali is short, but still a bit taller than her mother, with a slightly broader build than she’d like. Her chest is flat but her waist curves out into wider, curvy hips. She has clear, lithe muscles in her arms and legs from fighting. Her skin is slightly lighter than her brother’s but still a medium brown, with more of a golden undertone. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost black, and large though often are found with a narrowed, somewhat mocking gaze. Her thick, black hair is kept in a short bob cut that falls just above her chin - it sits relatively straight, but messy, until it curls at the bottom. Overall she takes quite heavily after her mother, looking more Filipino than anything. Ali is normally found with a shit eating grin and an upbeat, peppy stance. She wears a wide variety of clothes but most commonly a tshirt and shorts, with a bomber with all sorts of hidden pockets she can keep things in. Sometimes, when she isn’t expecting to do anything exciting, she’ll wear a plain dress over a tshirt.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Aline was brought into the world as the second child of a restaurant owner and retired nomad. As soon as she walked she was found toddling after her older brother or causing havoc in the kitchen of her father’s restaurant. Her early years were bright and cheerful - until her brother started ignoring her for the sake of learning martial arts.

Aline was too young to truly understand her mother’s tales of being a nomad when her brother started learning, and his constant practicing and heavy focus on it completely isolated him from her. Suddenly he didn’t have time for her… and nor did her mother for prioritising and training her. She was too young for that, so she was brushed aside. However unlike her brother, who was dedicated but only average naturally, Ali was born with a naturally high amount of ki. This meant that as soon as she was deemed old enough her mother wanted to train her… something she didn’t take to well to. To her, martial arts was what had taken her older brother away from her. She had no interest in that.

This resulted in a large clash with her mother who was incredibly pushy and forceful with her, expecting her to be nothing less than the best - if Isko could work so hard, then so could she. But she didn’t want to. This also resulted in clashing with her brother. In a sort of rebellion, Aline spent most of her time on the streets with other kids running about playing truant, destroying things and fighting. What time she didn’t spend there was with her father learning in the kitchen. From him she got nothing but unconditional love and encouragement which she lacked from her other family members. She could deal with her mother's disapproval and scolding, the disappointed look on her brother’s face when she came back with scraped knuckles, if she just had his love.

Then he died. Ali was only fourteen at the time, already in an incredibly difficult period of her life as she was struggling with friendship in school while acting out more and constantly getting into fights. His death absolutely devastated her… as did selling the restaurant she’d considered home and completely moving countries. But with the move and loss of their father came changes within her family and herself. While her mother did not change much, her brother suddenly went from pushing her away for his own interests to doing everything for her. It wasn’t perfect but she was willing to give him a second chance.

And she also decided to give her mother a second chance, and in it learning martial arts. While this didn’t entirely repair their relationship it helped her begin to get over her built up hatred for her from years of being ignored. However she didn’t give up both her passion for cooking or… spending a lot of time on the streets causing chaos. But her aggression and raw anger at being ignored, her need to rebel, was tempered as she began to learn various Filipino martial arts that interested her. For now it was alright, because she had her brother on her side.

Eventually she agreed to travel with him as a Nomad, even though it took encouragement to leave the second home she’d found. But she quickly found she loved life on the road. This journeying took the two of them to the World Martial Arts tournament and she was there when Oh-One attacked the arena. While she didn’t really know why it happened, the event incited a strong desire to fight and stop the robot. That was how she encouraged (forced) her brother to come along with her in joining a group of Nomads to stop Oh-One and get the power stone back. Ali found she loved the thrill of it, and the feeling of being in a group larger than just her and her brother.

So when everything was done she insisted they stay in Gold City - a place they’d never been before. It was filled with other nomads and adventure, and she wanted nothing more to explore it before they set off again.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

SKILLS & ABILITIES

Aline fights with raw, less traditionally trained methods combined with her naturally high ki. Her fighting style is incredibly fierce and aggressive with a focus on speed, constant attacks and taking her opponents down. She fights dirty as she spent her younger years scrapping on the streets. This was refined when she moved to the Philippines, where she learned Filipino Kina Motay and Dumog. She focuses on manipulating choke points to unbalance her opponent and grappling, giving her openings to attack, or just going completely all out with her ki attacks to get it done quickly. She doesn’t care about what counts as “fair play” - to her any kind of attack is game if it takes down an opponent. Someone of her stature can’t afford to be fussy, anyway. She isn’t above biting, eye-gouging, headbutting or elbowing. In fact these are the kinds of attacks she’s learned to use the most.

Along with all this, Aline also fights with weapons and spent years (grudgingly) learning Arnis from her mother. While she rarely uses this martial art for any kind of unarmed combat she always carries knives on her person, and will employ it with those or improvised weapons. She uses these knives both as a way to fight dirty and up close, not worrying about cutting someone, but also to throw at a range to give herself some variability. She can also fight with the commonly used (in Arnis) Baston, but she rarely actually bothers to carry one about. She prefers just to pick up something improvised instead.

Aline has a natural high amount of ki, honed when she started actually training. She normally uses this to increase her strength when gripping opponents so that they can’t easily escape, to enhance her own attacks and to increase her speed. Along with this she’s learned how to use it to heat up parts of her body or weapons, essentially enhancing her attacks with intense heat and sometimes even flames.

SIGNATURE MOVES

■ Catch Me!

Ali runs and leaps at a standing opponent from the front, wrapping her legs around their midsection and arms - using ki to strengthen their hold. Then she either wraps an arm around their neck and uses the other to go for an eye gouge or strong pinch, or wraps them around their upper body and bites their cheeks or neck.

■ Piggyback!

Ali leaps at an opponent from behind, wrapping her legs around their waist and her arms around their neck and grips onto them. She then bites or elbows their neck, or draws a knife to put it at their throat.

■ Just a Bite

Ali bites an opponent in a vulnerable spot, digging her teeth in and latching on to make it difficult for them to pull away and stop it. She has to already have them grappled to be able to do this.

■ Nutshot

In response to being grabbed by her opponent, or grabbing them herself, Ali brings her knee up and right into their groin. Most effective against men.

■ Hardhead

Ali grabs her opponents wrist and elbow to use an arm drag and pull them towards her, headbutting or shoulderbutting them as they’re pulled towards her.

■ Knock a Bitch Down

Grabbing her opponent’s leg, Ali uses ki to help strengthen herself and flip her opponent over onto the ground. She then holds them to the ground in a grappling position, likely moving on to attack them in some way (biting or eye gouging most commonly).

■ Stab a Bitch

Ali swiftly draws a knife from her jacket, using Ki to speed up her movement, and cuts or stabs a vulnerable spot of her opponent. Where depends on what she has access to and whether she is grappling with them.

■ Sticks Can Break Your Bones

Ali picks up an object that she can use as an improvised weapon, using ki to strengthen it before using it to fight. Generally she prefers objects that can be used as impact weapons, to hit them hard and try to break something, but will also use something like a scarf to choke someone.

■ Hot Stuff

Ali elbows or knees her opponent in as vulnerable a spot as she can reach, using ki to cause a sudden burst of heat as they connect, causing intense pain. She can then use their reaction to this to attack them again, put some space between them or get out of their grip if they had her grappled.

■ Bringing The Heat

Ali uses her ki to heat up a part of her body, such as her hand, elbow or teeth, causing it to go to incredibly high temperatures. This results in any blows made with that body part being stronger, causing burning on impact with skin (or softening metal). How long she keeps this up varies, but normally for only a few attacks as it is draining on her ki. She tends to use it in constant, short bursts as she attacks.

■ Light Em Up

Ali shoots a burst of fire out of her palm or the sole of her feet, either as an open hand attack or kick.

SUPER MOVES

■ Burn, Baby, Burn

Ali lets out a strong burst of heat from her body, shooting it towards her opponent. This is more powerful the less far it has to travel, causing intense pain (as if doused in boiling water) to someone nearby, to the point it could straight up knock them out, and still causing bad burns to someone further away. Due to the strength of this move it takes everything out of Ali, using up a large amount of her ki and exhausting her, so she only uses it if she’s certain it will end the fight.

■ All Fired Up

Ali uses her Ki to essentially set herself on fire, causing her entire body to be coated in flames. This makes her attacks much more damaging, speeds her up and allows her some semblance of control over the fire surrounding her (to shoot as a ranged attack). However it is incredibly draining on her body and ki: if she isn’t careful or does it for too long, she will burn and damage herself.

■ Get Down, Stay Down

Using choke points, Ali grabs her opponent and flips them onto the ground underneath her. She pins them underneath her, twisting their leg to hurt them and stop them from moving - using ki to increase her weight and strength to keep them there. She then keeps them pinned and in a vulnerable position for as long as she can so that she can elbow, knee, pinch, choke, eye gouge or bite them.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

While she packs a punch, Aline isn’t the most sturdy and is heavily dependent on speed to get her away from other attacks. If she’s hit it will heavily damage her and she is easily knocked down or thrown about the place. Along with this she won’t win in any contests of strength and relies on underhand tactics and choke points to gain the upperhand and without the use of Ki, she will lose in a one to one strength match up. Her attacking style lends to vicious and constant attacks / grappling and she has a general lack of defences and stamina - her aim is to get it done as fast as possible. She tires quickly and drawn out fights will result in her growing weaker throughout them as she tires herself out and uses up her ki. Along with this, the general nature of her attacks: relying on dirty moves and weak points of the human body means she is nowhere near as effective against people who are fully or partially robotic.

OTHER

---

Speaks Portugese, Filipino and English fluently and tends to find picking up the basics of other languages fairly simple.
Aline is a very good cook due to helping out her father in his restaurant and continuing to cook for her family since then. She loves to do it and will take any excuse to cook for others.

Isla raised an eyebrow as Hagan shook her hand off, before storming off into a nearby office. She was relieved that he hadn’t shoved her as well and hopefully he’d cool off but… that wasn’t her main concern right now. If she was honest (which she rarely was), she wasn’t surprised that things had already gone to hit between people in the group. Aside from those who knew each other before (one of whom was dead) they were all complete strangers. Of course they weren’t just going to get in.

She sighed softly, nodding to Zoey as she headed towards the door. Isla walked over to Stacey and crouched down, holding out a hand in an offer to help him up off the floor if he wanted it.

“Are you okay?” she asked softly, though she had no idea what to say to actually help him feel better. He had just been grabbed then thrown to the floor. She didn’t get a chance to hear his answer, though, turning her head to look at Zoey at the door.

"... And we're definitely not where we last checked."

Zoey

“Huh?” Isla leapt up, jogging over to Zoey and freezing as she reached the door. Penny and Odessa had disappeared… and the city spread out in front of them was bright and colourful as if they’d been thrown into the past. It was fucking weird. In many ways it was more appealing than the place they’d been before but it was just not right. Nothing here was right. “What the fuck.”

She frowned, narrowing her eyes as she tried to come to terms with what had happened.

"Wait! Wait I...I k-know this place!"

Finn

“Oh yeah, I recognise it too,” Isla commented, with a hint of sarcasm and a roll of her eyes. “From every generic 60s film.”

As if they actually knew the place they’d been magically transported to while they weren’t looking. She tilted her head as Finn went to get their other friend, and started to drag him out the door. Okay, they really seemed to think that they knew where they were and that they lived here.

“Hey, wait!” Isla called out as Finn just went right past her and Zoey, leading Trent outside. Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears, however, as they kept going. She turned to Zoey. “Do you think we should follow them, or just leave them to go on a stupid adventure.”

She shook her head again, knowing exactly what she was going to do for all her pretence of not actually caring. She didn’t even wait for a response. “Fuck it, I’m going after them.” Then she followed right after Finn and Trent.

Maya listened to what Lyss said with folded arms and a slightly tilted head. She knew that shit would be dangerous - while she may want to save her own skin, she knew that if Blake wanted anyone dead it was her and she had a much better chance here with the coven. Not that she’d abandon them anyway over something like fear. She wanted to be able to absolutely beat the shit out of Blake anyway, so if she had to go through the Outsider to do it… Well.

“... She’s here!”

Shit. Maya jumped out of her seat and spun around to watch as the Outsider floated down from the ceiling. In ways, she looks nothing like Maya had imagined… but there was a terrifying air to her nonetheless. She was talking, but Maya paid no attention to it - she couldn’t even understand half of what was being said.

Instead she moved around, backing away slightly as Madison attacked with the Jaws. She was itching to just straight up blast the Outsider… but she couldn’t risk losing her hearing yet for a pot shot at this distance.

Then the Outsider pointed at her, speaking of how Blake wanted her dead (not a surprise). In the split second Maya had as the finger sped towards her, she froze. How was she meant to get out of the way of that? Sound blast it away?

She let out a shocked yell as something snatched her up, sweeping her off her feet and out of the way of the finger of probable death. Her mind struggled to keep up with exactly what was happening as she went from whatever had saved her and right into Herik’s arms. She could hear something crashing against the outsider but couldn’t see where she was, still frozen in shock.

“You okay?”

Herik

Herik put her down, and she snapped out of it. “Fine, thanks to…” she turned her head to notice the grey lion attached to him. “...you?”

She shook her head and looked back towards the Outsider. The massive reptile creature that had appeared out of nowhere was attacking, and Maya hoped it took attention off her enough to get in a better position to not just get attacked again. But she didn’t want to be useless… and needed to get close enough for her abstraction to do any damage when it hit. She wanted to get into the thick of it but she had no defences. Not to mention affecting other people with her attacks. Fuck.

“Cover me,” she muttered to Herik, moving around the room and ducking behind a pushed over table. It wasn’t a great defence but better than nothing. She peered her head out with a frown. She’d managed to get far enough away that a directed sound blast shouldn’t hit the others… yeah, this would do. Keeping most of herself behind the table, Maya twisted and waited for a clear path before shooting a sound blast at the Outsider. Her ears rung as she shot another in quick succession.

Maya wasn’t feeling great.

While she’d woken up without a hangover, she had an annoying headache from an infrequent ringing in her ears throughout the night stopping her from sleeping. A bad side effect of a loud abstraction. She was pretty sure she’d have tinnitus in no time. But she forced herself to roll out of bed before midday, putting on light makeup and getting dressed in white shorts and a blue, of the shoulder shirt. Something a little more practical than normal, because she knew there would almost definitely be a fight today. She pulled her hair into twin braids to keep it out of the way before heading out.

She turned up almost on time for once - actually understanding the urgency of their meeting for once, having watched a bunch of strippers get sacrificed the night before. The only reason she was a little late was because of traffic on her way there (and totally not taking the wrong turn multiple times, that would never happen). She arrived just before Emily, making sure to hurry when she saw the other girl behind her and finding somewhere to sit.

Folding her arms, Maya tilted her head slightly as she listened to what was said. It filled in the gaps that she’d missed when she’d lost her hearing during the fight - that the sacrifices had been for the Outsider and that Blake Schmidt was behind it all. Because, of course he was. She also had absolutely very little idea what the Outsider was out of what Lyss had said at the original meeting with Blake. It wasn’t like she was given a crash course to the Extra-Normal when she awakened. She kept that to herself, though.

"Well, since this lady Alyssa's fault in the first place."

Babylon

“If we’re going to play the blame game, we’ll be here for hours,” she rolled her eyes at Babylon - who of course had to ruin saying something useful by being a bitch. Unlike some of the others (herself included), Lyss actually seemed to look out for the other girls. She was glad that Vashti seemed to agree with not blaming each other… Though Maya would normally jump on the chance to shit on some of the other’s (Emily). “But, Lyss probably does know the most about the Outsider so it’d be best if she explained.”

She snorted as Herik arrived and got completely confused about the Outsider in a way that somehow wasn’t entirely annoying. “No, the Outsider as in some ancient evil ghost.”

“Either way, we just gotta find Blake and the Outsider and beat the shit out of both of them, right?”

As the whispering continued in her ears Isla blinked again, bashing right into the front desk with a pained cry. She held her head as the hallucinations followed her vanished and looked around, completely disoriented and confused from all the blinking she’d done while panicked. Zoey had grabbed Finley who appeared to have a knife to his throat. She shook her head.

They must have all seen stuff too.

Hagan grabbed Stacey by the collar and started shouting at him, and Zoey joined right in. Isla grimaced as she pushed her hair off her face and stood up. She disliked seeing shit as much as the next person but this was not the solution. As much as Isla wanted to give the guy a good slap herself… But that was beside the point. It helped that her hallucinations seemed to have been on the lighter end of things, going by Finley.

She walked over and grabbed one of Hagan’s arms, looking at him with a completely fake but convincing confidence. “Let go of him. This ain’t gonna help.”

She tilted her head in Stacey’s direction. “We won’t get any info outta him when he’s like this. He clearly has no idea what you're talking about or who you even are right now. Let him calm down first then we can question him.”

Even as she spoke Isla kept one eye on Hagan, knowing pretty well that grabbing someone who was angry was generally a bad move. She tensed herself to use her abstraction in the likelihood that he’d swing at her instead.

Maya smirked slightly as the disgustingly naked guy passed out, even as she slid down the wall into a sitting position. Her head was beginning to ache from the constant, deafening ringing in her ears and she really wanted another drink. But she also just wanted to go home and curl up in bed. She rubbed her head as she watched what was going on. It seemed like the three rednecks were standing down (well, two had passed out anyway).

She half jumped as the Jaws manifested for what seemed like no reason, only this time it was like… a fucking hydra with three skeletal heads. She could tell that they were talking as the ringing was slowly reducing but not what they were saying.

Like tonight wasn’t already weird enough. She snorted at the turn of events of what was meant to be a fun night out. At least she wasn’t dealing with it like Izzy was. She rolled her eyes as she watched the other girl curl up on the ground as if the world was ending. Like she’d helped in anyway to stop it.

“...naked one day and found it in some old lady's house. He bought her! Please, I just wanted to get high!"

Maya’s eyebrows shot up as her hearing began to come back, enough to make out what was being said even as it still felt like someone was holding an alarm clock up to her ears.

And she had absolutely no context for what was being said. She could just about piece it together… there were reinforcements, they’d sold whatever wanted the sacrifices to some man and they were now agreeing to fix it. And the guy looked scared shitless at the Jaws’ threat and Maya could hardly blame him for that. He deserved it for this shit, though.

“Someone’s gonna have to fill me in on everything I missed,” Maya commented quietly, tapping her ear before slowly standing up. She folded her arms as she still leaned against the wall, turning her head to glance between Madison and Lyss. “And since when could the Jaws talk?”

She shook her head. That wasn’t important right now… what was important was moving things forward so they could get out of here! “So what’s the plan now?”

Due to the strength of this move it takes everything out of Ali, using up a large amount of her ki and exhausting her, so she only uses it if she’s certain it will end the fight.

■ All Fired Up

Ali uses her Ki to essentially set herself on fire, causing her entire body to be coated in flames. This makes her attacks much more damaging, speeds her up and allows her some semblance of control over the fire surrounding her (to shoot as a ranged attack). However it is incredibly draining on her body and ki: if she isn’t careful or does it for too long, she will burn and damage herself.

■ Get Down, Stay Down

Using choke points, Ali grabs her opponent and flips them onto the ground underneath her. She pins them underneath her, twisting their leg to hurt them and stop them from moving - using ki to increase her weight and strength to keep them there. She then keeps them pinned and in a vulnerable position for as long as she can so that she can elbow, knee, pinch, eye gouge or bite them.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

While she packs a punch, Aline isn’t the most sturdy and is heavily dependent on speed to get her away from other attacks. If she’s hit it will heavily damage her and she is easily knocked down or thrown about the place. Along with this she won’t win in any contests of strength and relies on underhand tactics and choke points to gain the upperhand and without the use of Ki, she will lose in a one to one strength match up. Her attacking style lends to vicious and constant attacks / grappling and she has a general lack of defences and stamina - her aim is to get it done as fast as possible. She tires quickly and drawn out fights will result in her growing weaker throughout them as she tires herself out and uses up her ki. Along with this, the general nature of her attacks: relying on dirty moves and weak points of the human body means she is nowhere near as effective against people who are fully or partially robotic.

Isla gave a slight nod of agreement to what Hagan said about getting out… walking definitely wouldn’t work. She opened her mouth to respond but then Stacey walking in caught her attention. He seemed far from happy.

Then he started playing his guitar like a madman, lighting up in an unnatural blue colour that had Isla’s eyes widening. She didn’t have anytime to consider what was happening as her vision suddenly swam and her mind filled with voices.

“Why did you tell us your parents were rich, Isla?”

“You’re not really dating him, are you?”

“Why did you lie?”

“Liar, liar, liar, liar.”

Isla slammed her hand over her ears as she curled over herself, shaking her head even as the accusations continued and the visions of people she just about recognised. She blinked once, then again, to try to get away but they followed her. This couldn’t be real, how was this even happening, how did they know about everything she’d lied about?

“Nobody will like you how you are.”

“You just make up everything.”

“Liar, liar-”

“Shut up!” Isla shouted, scrunching her eyes closed and curling into a ball over herself.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Seeing that she’d successfully stopped the naked bat dude from coming closer to her, and even by some miracle managed to hit him there, Maya let out a shaky breath. Using the wall nearby to support her, she pulled herself back up to standing on shaking legs. All the sounds around her were muted, barely there through the intense ringing in her ears. She looked towards Lyss to see that she was still alright (Madison could definitely handle herself) but it seemed that she’d taken pretty good care of the other one.

And Taylor had run upstairs which meant they’d hopefully get some backup soon.

She glanced towards the one she’d slammed into the wall to see him lunging towards one of the sigils. No. She shouldn’t have taken her eyes off of him… she shouldn’t have stopped hitting him until she was sure he couldn’t get up. She prepared to hit him again but was too late as he activated the sigil and the strippers disappeared.

“You piece of shit!” she shouted, even though it came out heavily accented and barely understandable (not that she could hear it herself). “I’m going to fucking-” she cut herself off, clenching her fists and realising that actions spoke louder than words… that she could barely speak, due to her current deafness.

Maya took a clumsy step forward and held her hands up even as they shook with anger, slamming James with yet another blast of sound. It knocked her backwards against the wall, which she used to stop herself from falling even as she let out a hiss of pain. It was worth it to hit him again… and she’d keep doing it until every bone in his body was broken. She narrowed her eyes at him, ready to blast him again if he could still move.
