A World of Progresssive Magic: An Arcane 2100s

My posts are usually longer than necessary. I like to use figurative language to describe simple things and tend to go on tangents in my characters' thoughts. Sometimes it comes out amazing... other times it is stupidly unnecessary and just plain annoying.

Hunter X Hunter: Into The Dark Continent

I've just been keeping up with the anime, not the manga. How much of what happens in that gap would it be good to know for this RP? I'm caught up at episode 131 (Gon v Pitou). On that topic, you wrote no god-modding in the rules, but what about no Gon-modding? That kid could kick Goku's ass at this point, and he's only like twelve!

And oh yeah, I'm in. HxH is the best shonen anime ever created, and nen is hands-down the simplest and most comprehensive power system I've ever seen. There is nothing that doesn't fit into it in some way.

Oh god, it's the forces of magic vs the horde of E3. There's no hope! No hope I tell you. The horde will destroy them all. *runs for the hills*

A World of Progresssive Magic: An Arcane 2100s

Name: Eise Varia
Age: 20

Appearance:

Normal and Partially Armored / Magical but Unpossessed

---

Black Cat / Possessed or simply Fully Armored (He also gains a long black tail *meow*)

Personality: The one thing you have to know about Eise is that he cannot be trusted under any circumstances. The second you think you know him, you find out you never knew him at all. On the outside he looks like a thug, and he uses that to scare people who need to be scared. Break through that layer and you’ll find a soft-hearted young man who just enjoys playing games and laughing with friends. Beneath that lies the powerful Eise who will fight with everything he has to protect those he cares about. But below all of that lies the criminal. Black Cat, the ruthless murderer and thief who would see all magicians dead and who attacks the guilty and the innocent alike. Which version is real? It depends on how much of Eise’s mind is his own at the time, and how much is the cat’s.

Magical powers/ Physical Abilities: Those investigating Black Cat think he’s some kind of aberrant spirit that’s forced its way back into the physical world. They aren’t far off. Eise is haunted by the powerful spirit of a black cat with a split tail, Kuro Nekomata. Black Cat is what happens when the cat’s spirit possesses Eise’s mind and body. No one knows how Black Cat does what it does. It appears without warning, being undetectable by any form of magic surveillance until right before it strikes. Most of the time it’s already gone again before anyone can react, having killed its target or stolen what it was after with blinding speed. The few times Black Cat’s target survived have proved incredibly valuable sources of information on the criminal’s powers. It moves like his namesake, impossibly fast, and is stronger than any human, not even slowing down after having an entire stone building collapse on top of it. It acts like a ghost in many regards: ignoring the laws of physics, passing through solid objects to get to his prey, disappearing and reappearing unpredictably. It kills his victims with its claws and its tongue; the claws ripping through magical defenses like paper, its tongue flaying skin and flesh just as easily. So far every attempt to capture or kill Black Cat have resulted in failure. The most damage done to it was from a mundane machine gun being fired into its stomach at close range. Despite covering the entire roadway with its neon blue blood and forcing the criminal to flee, upon resurfacing two weeks later it showed no sign of injury.

Flaws: He actively attacks some of the strongest people in the magical world and steals from incredibly powerful individuals, magical and not. To say he has enemies would be the understatement of the century. You would have a difficult time finding somebody that doesn’t want to see Black Cat’s head separated from its body. Eise also has no say in whether or not Kuro grants him magic or suddenly takes over his body by force. He’s kind of powerless to resist the possession. Even when Kuro does give Eise magic without possessing him, Eise has to use it without anyone who sees being able to draw a parallel between him and the criminal. His mind is under constant strain from being kept under the spirit's influence continuously, making him prone to headaches, dizzy spells, and mild hallucinations at times.

Side: Himself (There isn’t a side left that doesn’t want to see him dead.)

Bio: Eise grew up in a loving home with his parents and siblings: a brother two years younger than himself and a sister three years younger than that. None had any magical talent whatsoever, but it didn’t matter very much to them. His life was completely normal.

Everything changed when the fi- Wait, wrong canon. Everything changed when he ran over a cat coming home from a friend’s place one night. Eise saw that the cat was beyond saving and suffering, so he killed it quickly and buried it off the road. Those actions are what let the evil spirit in, and it hasn’t loosened its hold since. Eise doesn’t know why Kuro Nekomata hates magi so much, but for some reason the cat is furious at all magic users. How much it hates each user depends on their strength. It’s bloodlust for the strongest of magi is so strong that it takes over Eise just to try to kill them, but it seems to simply ignore weaker magical people.

Eise was horrified at what he’d done after the first possession, but the cat’s hold on his mind is great. He doesn’t know how the cat has been influencing his mind the entire time since that first night, making him compliant, less likely to oppose the spirit. It’s gone on for years now, and Eise’s mind has been so influenced by the cat that it’s as if he is the one who hates magicians. The most Eise has done of his own volition is separate himself from his family. He got an apartment in the city, away from them. If he’s caught, he doesn’t want them to become involved. And he doesn’t dare hunt near those he couldn’t kill; his possessed mind finds it too difficult to tell friend from foe. Whenever Eise needs money, he takes a job from the black market that coincides with one of his prey. Two birds with one stone. And if there are no good jobs worth taking, he just steals what he needs. No barriers or walls can keep the Black Cat out. No force of will can keep it in.

Dungeon Keepers

I'm just waiting on a Balon post.

A World of Progressive Magic: An Arcane 2100s.

Thanks Everblight. Hopefully more people join so that you can make a villain as well. Everyone attacking one guy isn't very enjoyable for either party.

@letter bee, do I PM the character to you or to Krodin? (or both?)

Ezo Honshu

Name: Ezo Honshu

---

Alias: Ezo the Wolf, Hell’s Army

---

Age: 41

---

Gender: Male

---

Rank: Tsuchikage

---

Appearance:

---

Personality: Ezo is gruff and distant, taking in everything and giving up very little in return. He doesn’t like having to do things, and he can usually be seen lazing around Iwagakure to avoid having to do work. He’s mildly alcoholic, and he says that he doesn’t like how he acts when he’s sober. By that, he means he doesn’t like it when he shows his emotions openly. Yup, when he’s sober he’s a lot more open with his feelings and emotions. Extreme amounts of alcohol can have the same effect though, with the added benefit that he won’t remember the consequences of telling the world that he’s a big softy, so… yeah, he sees no reason to ever be sober. The one exception to that is when he’s going to battle. For war, a clear mind is a must. Ezo on the battlefield is a cruel force of nature, raising an army in an instant. One second he’s one man with an anachronistic hat, the next he’s brought forth an army of walking dead, stone giants, and ungodly beasts. He has no emotion at all when he’s warring. He isn’t allowed to feel for his enemy, for the Tsuchikage must only think of his own people’s well being. Any who would bring harm to the people of the Land of Earth forfeit their right to live.

---

Village: Iwagakure

---

History/Background: Ezo was born a farmer, his parents farmers on what was the border of the Land of Earth and the Land of Stone. His family owned a large amount of land and always grew surplus crops, but despite this they grew up in poverty. They had enough to survive, nothing more or less. His parents gave up all of the excess harvest to the starving families from the Land of Wind. Once a month, Ezo’s father travelled all the way to the ravaged Sunagakure and gave away all of that month’s harvest. He never looked happy to be doing it, he never looked happy about very much, and Ezo wondered why he did it then. When he asked, his father just said it was something he had to do. He didn’t see it as a good deed or a charity, merely as something he had no choice in. People were starving. He had food. It was his responsibility to feed them. Ezo didn’t understand what that meant at the time.

Other farms surrounding Ezo’s family’s fell victim to raids and attacks by starving nomads, but never theirs. Ezo thought it was because the people saw what his father did for them, but that was just a child’s idealized perception. In reality what kept their farm safe was the wolf god that protected their land. Fenrir, king of the wolves. Many tried to attack their farm. Ezo never realized that because Fenrir destroyed them before they ever came close. Ezo’s father had contracted Fenrir, but he couldn’t control the wolf king. The most he had been able to reign in Fenrir was convincing the wolf not to go fight when the bijuu were rampaging.

Ezo was always laid-back, even growing up. He frequently disappeared from home, sometimes for weeks at a time. He’d always reappear though, sometimes with a story about following a river or an animal and getting lost, sometimes with a tale of abduction by roaming bandits, sometimes just saying he’d been “out.” Occasionally Ezo would follow Fenrir around, much to the wolf’s displeasement. It took years, but eventually the displeasure melted into quiet toleration. He’d never say it, but Fenrir deeply cares for the boy. Now forty-one, Ezo is still a boy to Fenrir.

Ezo left home when he was twenty and traveled to Iwagakure to become a ninja. He was shocked to learn that most children began learning to become a ninja at a young age. Ezo was the oldest in all of his classes. That didn’t last long though. Somehow he already knew and used everything about chakra control without realizing it. He had been doing it all his life without knowing it. The instructors ended up having to train him differently from the other rookies. Ezo never went through many of the steps a normal genin would have. Because of his age and skill level, he was practically pushed into becoming a chunin. Imagine his surprise when he learned that people tried year after year to become what he had achieved without even trying.

Ezo went back home for a while once he thought he’d learned enough about being a ninja for one trip. Before he got there, the young man found his path blocked by a wall of fur and teeth. Fenrir, come to see if the boy had become stronger. Ezo refused to fight the wolf, and was thrown about like a stick in a hurricane. He still walked through the front door of his home at the end of the night though. Fenrir hadn’t been serious in his strikes.

The young man’s shining moment came when he was on the road walking back to Iwagakure. Smoke. Turning back to the southeast, Ezo saw that the land on the border of the Land of Earth and what had been Kusagakure was burning. He ran to help, but the fire and smoke was too much. Fenrir watched from atop a nearby mountain as the young man tried in vain to save everyone. The wolf could see that the boy would not be able to save more than a handful of lives. Of course, the wolf would never have stepped in to put out the fire. It just wasn’t something he did. Fenrir was turning to leave when he saw Ezo do something incredible. He created a thunderstorm out of the cloud of smoke. The massive storm put out the flames, and it continued to rain for days before breaking apart. Fenrir caught the falling Ezo, unconscious from whatever technique he had used to change the sky to rain, and carried him all the way to Iwagakure.

It goes without saying that a gigantic wolf kicks the hell out of a pumpkin carriage as far as entrances go. Everyone in Iwagakure eventually heard about the dead man carried into the village by the gigantic beast. Stories of Ezo’s death were greatly exaggerated. He didn’t die. In fact, he woke up before the sun had fully risen on the next day. He was badly burned from the lightning inside the storm he had created though. The Tsuchikage himself was there to greet Ezo when he woke. The kage had a whole monologue prepared to interrogate the boy on his actions. Many of those he had helped had been citizens of Kyokujitsu no Tochi, which put the kage in a strange position.

Whatever he had been about to say was blown off. Ezo rushed right out the door despite his injuries, found Fenrir outside the village borders, and rushed back to the scene of the fire. The only person there was an older woman, standing among the burned remains of buildings as the rain continued to fall. The woman was friendly, thanking Ezo for his actions. Later on he would learn he had been talking to Satomi Ryukoku, the wife of the man he had blown off to rush back to the fire. As they spoke, Fenrir heard a sound. It was annoying. It was a child.

Ezo took the child to the temporary shelter where all the survivors of the wildfire were gathered, but no one claimed the child. The Tsuchikage’s wife was curious to see what the man would do, and she was not disappointed. He took the child in as his own. That told her everything she needed to know about who Ezo was. She didn’t forget about the strange man with the giant wolf, even as years passed. She watched the man’s actions always.

So when Takai Ryukoku, the Tsuchikage of the Sky, died of illness, and his final will read aloud before all who attended the event, Ezo Honshu was named his successor. Satomi played more than a small part in that appointment.

---

Combat Style: Overwhelm the opponent with numbers. He is primarily a long-range fighter, but he’s just as dangerous up close. He is ruthless when it comes to those attacking his people. He basically lets his summon do what it wants on the battlefield; unless there are people he doesn’t want dead in the area.
Tools: The basics (kunai, shuriken, and all that other junk), a large metal crossbow across his back (it reloads automatically), and a single large metal arrow.

---

Chakra Nature: Earth, in addition to being adept in Lightning, but he knows how to use all of the natures.

---

Kekkei Genkai: None

---

Special Traits:
An immense chakra reserve
High kenjutsu skill, even though he doesn’t carry a sword around
Incredible spatial awareness
Reads the flow of a battle with ease
Can shoot the wings off of a fly from a quarter mile (His record is five miles, but it wasn’t moving and he was using chakra threads to track its location, so he doesn’t count that one.)

Skilful Achievement with a Human Body
Lightning Beast Running Technique
Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Lightning Transmission

Name: Earth Release: Stone Goliath
Rank: A
Range: Any
Nature: Earth
Type: Ninjutsu (Puppet)
Effect: Ezo creates a humanoid statue out of stone, ranging in size from that of a normal human (useful for fooling enemies and reconnaissance) to an enormous giant (useful for subduing Fenrir and general wrecking shit). Ezo controls the statue like a normal puppet, but he can also see through the puppet’s eyes and use his jutsu through the puppet. Any damage is easily repaired by taking in new stone.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Thunder Release: Spider Bite

Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Perfect Counterfeit Technique
Rank: B
Range: None
Nature: Copy
Type: Copy / Hiden
Effect: Makes a perfect duplicate of the target. The target lasts until the chakra used to create it is depleted or the user releases the jutsu. While it can duplicate living things the created copy would not be alive or able to move or attack on its own, so a copy of a person would basically just be their lifeless body. Ezo must be touching the thing he is duplicating, but he can use the technique with a short delay.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Summoning: King Wolf
Rank: A (Getting said King Wolf to follow orders: S++)
Range: Any
Nature: Space-time
Type: Summoning
Effect: Summons a giant wolf covered in steel chains. The wolf towers over the tallest of trees and buildings and is unbelievably strong, its chains carve fissures in the ground as it moves. The wolf’s name is Fenrir. He is 100% pissed off 100% of the time, and Ezo almost always has to beat him into submission before he’ll do what Ezo tells him to. Fenrir himself uses wind techniques, sucking in air like a powerful vacuum and then shooting it out with explosive force, but there is very rarely an enemy Fenrir can’t destroy with his claws and jaws alone. His bark may not be quite as bad as his bite, but it’s still pretty bad on its own; the great wolf’s howl is powerful enough to uproot trees. (Much of Fenrir’s power is held back by the chains covering his body, which can only be removed if the conditions of Ezo’s Amplification Summoning Technique are met.) Despite what Fenrir says and does, he is glad that Ezo is his partner and would protect him and his daughter with his life.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Fenrir’s Techniques

Name: Wind Release: Pressure Blast
Rank: S
Range: Long
Nature: Wind
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Fenrir sucks in air and releases it in one cataclysmic blast. The blast has been shown as powerful enough to carve a hole through a mountain range, and Fenrir claims to have used it against a Bijuu in the past.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.


Name: Wind Release: Land of the Dead
Rank: S
Range: Short (but Fenrir is very big, so that short is still pretty long)
Nature: Wind
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Fenrir sucks all of the air from a spherical area in front of his mouth. When he closes his jaws, the vacuum collapses in on itself, crushing anything still alive inside.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Wind Release: Dust Devils
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Nature: Wind
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Wolf-shaped creatures made of dust and air are created wherever Fenrir steps. These wolves act on Fenrir’s orders and are incredibly difficult to get rid of. Fenrir can experience what the wind wolves experience.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

And his daughter:

Mayonaka "May" Arashi

Name: Mayonaka “May” Arashi

---

Alias: May of the Iron Blood, May the Untouchable, Hell’s Second

---

Age: 23

---

Gender: Female

---

Rank: Jonin, and the Tsuchikage's assistant

---

Appearance:

---

Personality: May is sharp and quick, ready to knock you down the moment it’s safe to get back up from her last attack. She’s also very kind and considerate to anyone who isn’t Ezo. She’s the one who’s always stuck with the job of tracking down the kage when he’s skipped out on his work. Her patience for that man is long past running dry, and one of these days she swears she’ll kill that good-for-nothing bum.

---

Village: Iwagakure

---

History/Background: May was just a baby when Ezo found her. Well, actually it was Fenrir that found her and then told Ezo. Nothing is known about who her parents were, and no one else with her unique kekkei genkai was found among those displaced by the fire to point her in the direction of any family members that may or may not still be living. She was found in the charred remains of a village that had burned to the ground just the day before because he’d been too slow to act, and Ezo couldn’t just leave her there. He picked up the little girl and took her back home.

Ezo wasn’t very good at being a dad, to put it mildly. Starting with trying to feed a toddler a steak the first night he brought her home, he never really got any better at raising her. May wouldn’t have had it any other way. He raised a girl the best he could, and she turned out all right, if she’d be allowed to say so. Ezo never lied to her about who she was and how he had come to adopt her, but she’s never shown any interest in trying to find her real parents or relatives, even when she learned of other Koton wielders living in Kyokujitsu no Tochi. She wasn’t interested in a life she might have had.

May was raised to be the only thing Ezo knew, other than being a farmer because Ezo really didn’t want to go back to being a farmer, and that was a ninja. He taught her how to fight, how to strategize, how to get other people to teach her math because he couldn’t have if his life depended on it, and he even taught her all of his techniques, in addition to teaching her how to control her kekkei genkai so that she could use it without hurting herself. She’s the only one other than Ezo that Fenrir has allowed himself to be summoned by, and even then the wolf almost ripped her head from her spine for it. She was terrified of the wolf for quite a while, but now she knows how to handle him, and their relationship is… less murdery.

Ever since Ezo became the Tsuchikage, May’s had to think of herself more and more as the parent in their relationship. Ezo would rather disappear and show up days later on some stranger’s roof half-naked and still sleep till noon after that than make sure that his country is running smoothly. So while Ezo may be the official kage, May is stuck doing all of the real work for him. She can’t be too angry with him though because whenever there is trouble in the Land of Earth, he’ll be the one there to protect his people from harm. But still, the paperwork!

May doesn’t know it yet, but Ezo is preparing her for the time when he can step down and have her take over as the Tsuchikage. He’s taught her all he can as far as jutsu and fighting go, and he fully believes that she’ll surpass him in strength in the coming years, and she’s already learning everything about managing a nation during his time as kage, when he can take the blame for any mistakes she may make.

---

Combat Style: Up close and personal, taking full advantage of her near physical invulnerability. In contrast to Ezo who would rather stand in one place and attack from a distance, she rushes her enemies and cuts them down in a flurry of spinning metal.

---

Tools: Just the basics (kunai, shuriken, and all that other junk) and a scroll to summon spare clothes (her invulnerability unfortunately doesn’t extend to her clothes, and she has a bad habit of throwing herself into attacks).

---

Chakra Nature: Earth, mixed with Fire to create…

Kekkei Genkai: Steel Release

Special Traits:
Speed through the roof and immovable physical strength
Kenjutsu skill on par with Ezo’s

Name: Steel Release: Iron Blood

Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Wolf
Rank: B
Range: Mid
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: May creates a lifelike wolf out of metal. It is incredibly strong and fast and reacts to May’s commands instantly. While active, May sees out of the wolf’s eyes as well as her own. Because the dual vision gives her a headache, she often closes the eyes she wishes to see as the wolf’s vision and has it close the other. She can leave the wolf with simple standing orders, but complex commands require her direct attention.
Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Cannon
Rank: B

Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates an enormous steel ball and then crushes it into a tiny space. May then adds more and more steel to the ball without making it any bigger, increasing its mass to critical level.

Weakness: Figure it out on your own.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Fortress
Rank: B

A World of Progressive Magic: An Arcane 2100s.

I'm writing a villain character that uses possession to fuel his magic. Are you going to give a heads-up when you have enough hero characters?

Persona: Through the Looking Glass

Here's my character's CS, reposted from the Interest Check thread.

Name: Evette Rossen

Age: 20
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Eve definitely attracts stares with her platinum blonde hair and flawless ivory skin. Her crystal blue eyes sparkle every time she smiles, which unfortunately isn’t so much in recent times. She is on the taller side, but not enough to stand out, and thin, but healthily so. Track and pole vaulting has kept her fit, despite her terrible eating habits. She wears a pink ribbon tied around either her neck or hair, a gift from her boyfriend.

Attire: Eve wears pink because pink is her favorite color, and black because someone once told her it brought out her eyes. Everything she wears incorporates those two colors in some way, shape, or form. Her usual is a pink dress or skirt and a black top, and the pink ribbon of course.

Arcana: Death

Weapon: A simple metal pole-vaulting pole. Light, fast, deadly. Eve needs to be constantly in motion when fighting, and her weapon reflects that need. She uses the recoil from her crushing blows to launch herself through the air. Turns out feeling the impact from metal hitting bodies is a great way of relieving stress.

Personality:

Eve was like a beacon of light who couldn’t help but brighten any room she walked into. Everyone was her friend, and she didn’t even know what it was like to have someone not like her. Anyone who didn’t immediately love her, she would just steamroll until they did. Hate, jealously, and all the nastiness of life just seemed to hit a wall and bounce off of her. She was actually quite smart, but tended not to act it, instead going along with what others said without a care in the world. It was a common occurrence for her friends to have to point out that she couldn’t agree with every opinion at the same time, and she’d agree. She had a boyfriend, Ian Raster, whom she loved completely, and her daily public displays of affection were seen as a source of entertainment for the entire school populous. Ian would pretend to be surprised and embarrassed each time, but he really did enjoy it. Whatever Eve felt or did, she put herself into it one hundred and ten percent.

Recently, she’s become an entirely different person. Instead of lighting up a room, she pulls the entire mood down just by walking in. She doesn’t smile, she doesn’t laugh, and she barely talks even to her closest friends. She’s still one of the brightest of her class, but whereas before she just brushed it off as nothing important, now it is the only surviving part of her character, and her effortless answers in classes only isolate herself further from those around her. The Eve of today is a shell of her former self. She simply can’t bring herself to care about anything or anyone. When she’s home and alone she lets her emotions out, being either tears or screams, punching the teddy bear that Ian got her so much that she’s had to sew it back together a dozen times. After a short absence, she did continue showing up for track and pole vaulting, and despite not practicing for a while, she has broken all of her previous records. They seem to be the only things she puts an effort into nowadays.

Backstory:

Evette’s family has some money, and by some I really mean a whole lot. Her mother is a violinist and a painter, and she taught Eve art and music from a young age. Her father is the CEO of a large banking company, and to say he knows money is putting it lightly. It’s a miracle that Eve didn’t grow up to be a spoiled little brat.

Throughout school she was always the popular girl; not one of the popular girls, but the popular girl. When it came to being the center of attention, no one even came close. Teachers loved her because she was so smart and well-behaved, boys liked her because… boys, and girls didn’t hate her because she was everyone’s friend. Well, a few might have hated her, but Eve remained blissfully ignorant to their existence. Eve always told people that she wanted to be a fashion designer, and she stuck to that. In the margins of all of her notebooks from elementary to high school are filled with pencil sketches of nothing but clothes. She’s just recently gotten calls from different clothing lines that want her to design for them, but those calls have remained unanswered.

She was in her high school’s band, playing the flute, and used to play violin with her mother at home. Her junior year of high school, she won the school talent competition by singing a song she wrote while playing the piano. No one else even came close. She didn’t enter it the next year because she said that it would be unfair to win twice. Her classmates asked her to speak at the graduation ceremony, but she turned it down. Something about nerves or embarrassment, not like either ever got in her way before.

No one was surprised when she was accepted into the college of her choice except Eve, but she overreacted to most things. If she hadn’t gotten in, Eve’s mother probably would have mailed a few death threats right then and there. Thankfully that wasn’t necessary. University life wasn’t much different than normal for Eve; everyone still liked her, her brain was still working good, and she still worked hard at becoming a fashion designer. The unregulated access to food was something new for her, and she took full advantage of it. If it had ever walked, jumped, flown, swam, grown, or gathered from the ether of space, been put through a food processor and crammed into a box, she would eat it. The one thing she did stop doing that she had done was practicing music, instead wisely deciding to join an athletic club. The decision was less her own and more the scale’s but either way, it happened. She’d never been into sports, so she started with something simple: running. Now that she’s stopped eating everything in sight the running is less about keeping in shape and more just because she enjoys doing it. The next year, after finding that she quite liked track, she joined pole vaulting. She was okay at both, but nothing noteworthy. It was only after the accident that she started breaking records.

Eve’s first year at the University, in a Classic Literature class of all things, she met Ian Raster. His goal was to be an author. He didn’t just want to write stories though; his goal was to write stories that would be retold and taught about long after he was gone. He wanted to make characters that the world would remember among the great heroes and villains of history. He got so passionate about it whenever anyone asked him about his dream. Eve was just taking the class to fill up her schedule, but he saw it as a way to learn about the people who he had to be better than. They were such an odd pair, and in the same breath, everyone saw that they were perfect with the other. A year after meeting for the first time, they moved in together. It was a small apartment, close to the school, and it barely had anything in it, but it was the happiest place in the entire world. The only extra piece of furniture was a heavy wooden writing desk that Ian sat at every night as he worked on writing his perfect story.

One night, after Eve was sound asleep, and Ian was still awake at his desk, a robber broke into the apartment. Ian had stayed up for two days straight, perfecting his hero’s final triumph against the evil. The line in Ian’s mind between fiction and reality must have still been blurry then, because he confronted the burglar. Ian was shot three times in the chest. They were going to graduate the same year, and then he was going to publish his story and she was going to take a job designing for a major fashion name, and then they were going to get married and live happily ever after, just like Ian’s heroes always did. But none of that would happen.

Eve went back to live with her parents for a few weeks while they bought her a new place nearby the school. She couldn’t live in that apartment. The only thing of Ian’s that she kept was the manuscript of his masterpiece. “The story to change the world,” he’d said; the ending would remain unwritten. After a month long absence, Eve showed back up to class. She didn’t talk about what had happened, and pretty soon everyone else stopped trying to make her. The new Eve showed up for class, went to track and pole vaulting, and went home. She didn’t light up rooms, or make peoples’ days, or sparkle when she smiled even if she didn’t feel like smiling. Someone who had never had cause for anger, sadness, or fear, now found nothing but, and she had no way of showing it or releasing it.

Theme Song: (Completely optional.) Might find something for her later.

So much yes. I was part of one being made before the guild went down, but never got to use the character.
