CODENAME & NICKNAMES:

Angel | Angie, Ellie

AGE:

25

SEX:

Female

APPEARANCE (HUMAN):

Visual References

Standing at 165cm (5'5"), Angel isn't particularly short, nor tall compared to the average adult female demographic in the USA. In terms of stature, she possesses an athletically slim figure. Set upon her head are locks of chin-length light blonde hair framing a pair of amber irises. People she has met throughout her life have in general described her visage to be "cute yet handsome". With the right costume, she can easily fit the role of a dreamy androgynous prince.

APPEARANCE (ESPER):

Visual References

In her Esper form, Angel's height and stature remain identical, however, her light-blonde locks redden to become fiery red as if her flaming irises exert their influence upon her hair. Furthermore, a golden halo crowns her head and a pair of wings in the shape of glowing golden prisms project from her back, altogether emulating the image of a Malakhim, Heavenly Messengers of Jehovah. Lastly, like most - if not all - espers, her Instrument and Style spawn on her, replacing any apparel she might have worn prior to the transformation.

GRIMOIRE:

Visual References

A gold pendant in the shape of the Christian cross, its surface encrusted with flawless rubies and attached to it is a necklace composed of equally golden chain links. "Dark"-aligned monsters such as vampires and devils will find the pendant uncomfortably hot to the touch though ultimately harmless.

INSTRUMENT: Exia

Angel's signature instrument and primary tool of offense. Exia takes the form of a modern firearm, resembling yet not exactly alike the KRISS Vector SMG, along with functions and features one may expect from said weapon but with one key distinction, it possesses an endless magazine as the instrument simply forms bullets out of thin air using Angel's mana, thus bypassing the need to reload.

GRADE: Silver
KEYWORD: Long Gun
DAMAGE TYPE: Physical
DAMAGE: C

Firstly, if Angel uses the [Bronze Self] Cast Note, the [Flight] Effect Note can be added to the Melody for free. Secondly, whenever Angel is affected by the [Flight] Effect Note, it effectively becomes +1 Rank stronger.

Gear and equipment bestowed to Angel so she's not as defenseless should she’s engaged in combat without access to her Esper form for one reason or another. Overall, they're designed to emulate her preferred fighting style. Though these tools are nowhere close in effectiveness compared to her Grimoire, they're still better than having nothing at all.

TRIVIA:

Personality

Cheerful, confident, and brave if not borderline fearless, the Esper codenamed as 'Angel' (Real Name: Angelie Belrose) seems to shine like a beacon of optimism and hope, a beacon that may be warmly welcomed or be seen as blindingly naive. This figuratively shining presence is - for better or worse - compounded twofold whenever Angel is assigned to the same squad as a certain fellow Esper and GEMINI Agent, the Knight of Tomorrow. A deeply religious person, Angel sees the circumstances of her life that led her to where she is right now as a task bestowed upon her by the Almighty Lord Himself. As evil, atrocities, and monsters - both of human and alien nature - plague the streets unchecked, it falls upon her and her comrades-in-arms to defend those who can't defend themselves.

Deeply buried inside the self-proclaimed savior's psyche is a nigh-crippling sense of regret and copious amounts of self-blame. If only she listened, if only she followed in his footsteps, if only she wasn't so... weak, then perhaps, her life could've been much different. God had shown her the price of hubris by taking her most beloved, opening her eyes to the path she must follow and now, if she can save others from the same fate then it shall be her divinely-ordained mission, for God Wills It.

Biography

The one and only daughter of Harold Belrose and Audrey Belrose, the latter who passed away shortly after childbirth, Angelie was raised in a single-parent household in New York City, USA. As the child of an NYPD Officer who's also a devout Christian, the blonde was raised with the principles of duty, discipline, and faith, lessons that she found much too stiff and authoritarian to her liking, and dare she could say... boring? Though it was quite apparent that little Angelie took after her upbeat, cheerful, and easy-going mother than her 'holy paladin' of a father, Harold had never once given up trying to impart his values upon the love of his life for he saw Angelie as a responsibility that God and his departed wife placed upon him. How could he afford to let her stray from the path of righteousness, knowing his wife is watching him from heaven?

Alas, those lessons never really stuck and despite her father's insistence for her to attend church and see how noble being a policeman is, Angelie took them halfheartedly, never really giving any serious thoughts to either. On the flipside, ever since she was but a young girl, Angelie had always wanted to be a paraglider, she believed that there's nothing better in life than soaring through the air like an eagle, feeling the winds against her skin, free as she could be. Her mind was set, no matter what her father would say or do, she would never pick up a badge and a firearm for her place belonged in the clear open sky, not the dirty streets of downtown New York. She'd soar in the aether, but not to get closer to God for she'd be doing it for herself, on her own terms.

Perhaps this was why God showed her a lesson, as one day, instead of attending Sunday church together with her father, Angelie preferred to go on a paragliding competition. If only she was there with him... she could've convinced him to not answer that emergency call, could've diverted him from encountering that Weretiger, ...could've saved him from being torn to shreds. Yes, she could've done all that yet she didn't. Now she was an orphan and it was all her fault.

Weeks of sleepless nights later, Angelie was attending church when she stumbled upon… a miracle, suddenly appearing clenched between the palms of her hands as if it had materialized out of thin air. A most beautiful ruby-encrusted gold pendant in the shape of the Holy Cross, complete with a necklace just as exquisite, and with it, an inexplicable hum ringing within her mind, divine and heavenly like the choir of angels. This... this must be a sign, the Lord Almighty had given her a chance at redemption!

"A Grimoire", the men in black suits told her, and apparently having one makes her an 'Esper'. Well, if God wishes her to be an Esper to continue her late father's work, then so be it. Whether the NYPD or this GEMINI organization, as long as she could protect the innocent from evil, the very same evil that took her father and who knew how many more. No matter how hard she must train, how difficult her life ahead would be, she would bear it all with a smile for she knows, tis' God's Will.

@Bro Ken Oooh, that's a fine idea. Alright, I'll change the Zephyr of Eden part to:

"Firstly, when Angel uses the [Bronze Self] Cast Note, the [Flight] Effect Note can be added to the Melody for free. Secondly, If Angel is affected by the [Flight] Effect Note, it effectively becomes +1 Rank stronger."

All coolz?

Symphony on High

<Snipped quote by Izurich>

Oke, slight problema, it's kinda pointless if you can give yourself flight for free anyways. Especially since we don't know if you'll be facing someone/something with the specific note too, much less have someone on your team available to help there.

Boss man thinks the perma +1 in that regards is a bit too much for all that. But I get that it'd be weird to have a flightless Angel outside of Maverick, so maybe keep just the self flight? If not we're always open for brainstorming something else.

@Majoraa

That's fair, and coincidentally, it is the one aspect that I'm not sure if it's too much for Gold or not on top of everything else. It's the one that I don't need any further discussions to simply remove, just give me the confirmation and I'll do it right away.

Huh, with regards to Izu's Flight special, I could've sworn that Klava's Silver Special was something along the lines of 'Construction counts as one Rank higher'. Wouldn't the Izu Flight special just be a natural evolution of that, giving some more conditional perks now that it's Gold? The perma +1 is entirely a selfish thing anyhow, so it's not that crazy.

@ERode

Yeah, I also believe the "count as +1 rank higher" part is fiiiine, it's the "any sources" part that makes it a bit too much, if not also rather pointless.
---

So, what's your verdict, Bro Ken?

Symphony on High

@Izurich Geez, the new wave of Inquisition plants really suck at hiding their allegiance. Real talk, I stand with #superiortosilmeria. We're still going over this one though so I'll give you a final verdict when I'm not making dinner/doing taxes/multitasking.

@BrokenPromise

Geez, spoilers, Bro Ken! 😤

Cool, I just woke up myself.

@Izurich

"Any sources" include herself or any outside forces?

@Majoraa

Yep, any sources, whenever she's affected by a [Flight] Effect Note, basically, regardless of sources.

Kitaōji Ayane - The Mundane

北大路 綾音 / KITAŌJI AYANE

38 y/o | 142cm (4'8") | 34kg (75lbs)

Theme

APPEARANCE:

Visual References

Standing Profile

Standing a diminutive four foot and eight inches and paired with a youthful visage even for East Asian standards, Ayane is often mistaken as a junior highschooler in her ancestral homeland of Japan, let alone in the States. In fact, her growth peaked when she was in 8th grade and she hadn't gained an inch ever since, much to her great dismay. Even nowadays, in her late 30s, the middle-aged woman physically appears like a girl over two decades her junior, and every method that she tried from exercise routines to growth hormone therapies ultimately prove fruitless.

Her peers often jest that they envy her "eternal youth", but she's not an idiot, she's aware of their backhanded compliments, after all, there's such a thing as looking too young. This so-called 'eternal youth' has cost her lifelong dreams of modeling, the ability to safely conceive a child, and even something as simple as being able to reach high shelves without the aid of stools. Sometimes, she scornfully wishes that everyone would have their knees cut off just so they can see things from her perspective.

PERSONALITY:

Morose, sarcastic, and cranky. Ayane is one of those people seemingly done with life, going through the motions of mundane routines, stuck in a pointless rat race of a 9-to-5 job. She's quick to snap with a sardonic quip or two whenever a minor convenience occurs and though not outwardly rebellious, she appears to have mastered the art of 'malicious compliance' whenever an authority figure forces her to do something against her will.

Hidden underneath all those layers of bitterness and resentment is a sweet, affectionate girl who's a natural idealist. However, disappointments after disappointments chipped away at the bright young girl's resolve and at some point, the last straw broke the camel's back. If a college friend is to be reunited with her, then they'll surely be dumbfounded just how different Ayane is now; for someone who doesn't seem to age, she sure bears little resemblance to her pre-graduation self.

Yet still, buried in the deepest reaches of her heart, Ayane's child-like naivety remains steadfast, merely slumbering, just waiting for that chance to dethrone her cynicism. Her sudden initiation to magical girlhood may just be that chance, however, whether the verdant-haired young woman can regain her youthful enthusiasm or not remains to be seen...

BACKSTORY:

Born to a native Japanese couple, Ayane spent the first nine years of her life in Japan before her parents decided to emigrate to the United States. Aside from this particular event where she had to adapt to a new home with new friends, environment, and cultural norms, the Japanese-American girl's early childhood was quite typical for a run of the mill middle-class family, which was something often taken for granted by most people.

A bright young girl with copious amounts of gregarious energy, Ayane didn't mind being the center of attention amongst her social circle. In fact, she thrived in the spotlight, having all the right traits for a rising superstar in the showbiz world, however, knowing the issues commonly plaguing child stars, her parents decided that it'd be best for their only daughter to come of age and finish her education first before pursuing such careers.

As she grew, Ayane began to realize a consistent pattern, that her peers - both boys and girls - begin to outsize her. At first, the green-haired girl chalked it up to simple genetics. East Asians are on the shorter end of the world's average after all. However, the fact remained that she had peers who're fellow East Asians and yet all of them eventually outgrew her. By the time she entered senior highschool, Ayane became the de facto shortest student in her whole school. Unbeknownst to her, this incident marked the start of Ayane's transformation into the bitter cynic that she'd be in the future.

Once, the teenager had a dream, one inspired by the heroic magical girls, she wanted to be famous just like them yet without all the risks of bodily harm inherent in their trade, thus she settled for the next best thing, modeling. In pursuit of said dream, she subjected herself to various procedures from exercises to growth hormones all the way until she graduated from college, yet they were for naught, she just couldn't grow, neither in height or width. To make matters worse, her fiancé of six years annulled their engagement. Why? Because he wanted to have children in the future, but the doctor said Ayane's stunted body wasn't capable of enduring pregnancy, at least without severely risking her life.

Every single of her woes could be traced back to her so-called 'eternal youth', the curse that she had to bear for god knows why.

With each child-sized clothes that she had to wear for lack of options, each ID check at liquor shops, and each nervous gulp from would-be lovers at mixers, Ayane's resentment toward the world grew and grew, until the mountain of scorn was massive enough to bury all of her cheer and joy. Before she knew it, she was almost four decades old, but honestly, she stopped counting since her mid-20s.

Nowadays, Ayane works at Nippon Taiyou Bank as its call center agent, serving both Japanese and English-speaking clients due to her fluency in those languages. She had no pride in her job, nor any ambitions to do beyond what's required from her. It was nothing more than a means to an end; clock in, clock out, the same mundane routine in a colorless gray world...

At least until the supernatural decided to contact her in the form of a mascot named Renge, the entity claimed herself to be a 'Spirit Guardian' or some sort, tasked with maintaining the balance of life and death by making sure that malevolent spirits and similar entities are sent back to where they belong, the afterlife. In all of her wisdom, Renge decided to choose Ayane, a good-for-nothing failure. Well, whatever, her younger self might have rescinded the offer due to the dangers involved, but at this point, she couldn't care less. There were worse ways to go out than a hero's death.

...and though Ayane herself wouldn't admit it, a part of her was delighted that someone finally gave her a chance to shine, even if it took decades.

OTHER DETAILS:

❖ Color Code: 2ff08e
❖ Though she has severe body image issues, nowadays, Ayane has gotten past the point of being capable of anger whenever someone teases her about it, instead, she'll simply roll her eyes.
❖ Possesses surprisingly high conscientiousness despite her seemingly uncaring behavior; Ayane's belongings are organized neatly and her apartment and workspace are always clean. She grew up in Japan after all, old habits die hard.
❖ Regularly participates in Kendo ever since an early age, most likely the reason why her magical weapon takes the form of a katana.

Murasaki - The Magical

紫 / MURASAKI

死霊導 (Shireidō / Spirit Guide)

Theme

APPEARANCE:

Visual References

Standing Profile

As Murasaki the Spirit Guide, Ayane's height and stature - regrettably - remains unchanging for the most part, except for her hair, which exponentially lengthens enough to reach her shins. Her transformation trinket - the butterfly hairpin - settles on the left side of her head along with a pair of red ribbons tying parts of her green locks into a pair of short twintails. Whatever apparel she was wearing will be replaced by a set of stylish kimono evoking the image of a fluttering butterfly. Finally, her signature weapon, the spirit-sealing katana Murasame spawns within arm's reach of her right hand.

TRANSFORMATION TRINKET:

A purple butterfly-shaped hairpin. It's always slightly cold to the touch and when held, one can allegedly hear faint whispers of the dead.

MAGICAL WEAPON:

Visual References

Murasaki's signature weapon is 村雨 (Murasame), it takes the form of a ghostly katana, shimmering and translucent as if half of its existence lies in the material world while the other half dwells in the spirit plane. It's essentially more of an extension of Murasaki's magic than a true physical object as it’s able to freely vanish and reappear at its mistress' hand. Though intended to be used against malevolent spirits, Murasame remains extraordinarily effective against any entity with a 'soul', and the more spirit-like said entity is, the deadlier its cuts become. As an example: Ghost-like monsters will take more damage compared to Beast-type creatures.

On the flipside, its power is significantly dampened against 'soulless' entities such as: automatons, vehicles, and a literal brick wall.

MINOR POWERS:

❖ 封魔陣 (Fūmajin / Evil-Slaying Seal):

The power that defines Murasaki's identity as a sealer of malevolent spirits. With each cut from her ethereal blade, Murasaki's foes will have parts of their soul sealed away, rendered inert and harmless. Everything from ghosts, demons, and even celestials, as long as they possess a soul, can be sealed away into a powerless wretch. Obviously, this power has no effect against soulless enemies.

❖ 精霊歩 (Seireiho / Spirit Step):

Murasaki and Murasame fully transition into the spirit plane, turning completely ethereal and enabling her to pass through mundane objects as if they're not even there. While in this state, any purely physical attacks will simply harmlessly phase through her, but on the other hand, she becomes more vulnerable to magical harm. Offensively, her attacks gain the capability to slip through mundane armor, but not magical defenses. This ability exclusively affects herself and her sword.

❖ 幻想 (Gensō / Mirage):

Murasaki can conjure lifelike illusions of herself to confuse her foes. Each ethereal copy lasts for several seconds or until it performs a single offensive technique, whichever comes first. However, unless modified by another power, these doppelgangers are harmless illusions.

MEDIUM POWERS:

❖ 胡蝶双舞 (Kochōsōbu / Fluttering Waltz):

Murasaki employs deft swordplay enhanced by supernatural dexterity to perform multiple strikes with blinding speed. To the untrained eye, it'll appear as if she's performing merely a single quick stroke, yet the results will prove that within that single second, the target has been stricken with numerous deep and precise cuts.

❖ 鏡花水月 (Kyokasuigetsu / Reflection of the Moon Flower):

Murasaki empowers her Gensō mirages to be capable of inflicting actual harm to a target, dealing damage as if she herself has performed the attack via a copy.

MAJOR POWERS:

❖ 泡沫夢幻・胡蝶刃 (Hōmatsumugen Kochōjin / Transient Blade of the Butterflies):

Shireidō's ultimate technique, the finest display of spirit swordsmanship. The Spirit Guide summons fifteen Kyokasuigetsu-enhanced copies to surround a target along with herself in the formation of the sixteen petals of the Kikumon - Chrysanthemum Seal - before they simultaneously execute a Kochōsōbu at said target. Whoever unlucky enough to be the recipient of this technique will receive sixteen instances of multiple lightning-quick cuts, safe to say, they won't return in one piece, but should they somehow survive, then it'll be a testament of their might as not many can endure such a powerful technique and live to tell the tale.

OTHER DETAILS:

❖ Color Code: b73ffc
❖ Murasaki's powers are filled to the brim with butterfly imagery. Most of her maneuvers and strikes leave trails of wispy purple light bearing their silhouette. They're either beautiful or, if someone is suffering from lepidopterophobia, terrifying.
❖ Like the spirit butterflies she embodies, gravity is a mere suggestion for Murasaki. She can float at will and when engaging Seireiho, also phase through physical matter.
❖ As Murasaki, she notably becomes less cranky and vitriolic than Ayane, perhaps knowing innocent lives are often at stake during her missions instills a sense of heroic altruism in her.

True Form

Mascot Form

Renge bears the visage of a young Japanese girl clad in an elaborate floral and butterfly-patterned black kimono. Between her eerily pale skin, jet-black hair, and archaic apparel, she appears more like a lifelike doll than a human. Whatever Renge is, she's certainly no human, instead a spirit-like entity with no actual physical presence in the material plane. Just like a ghost, Renge is completely ethereal and passes through solid objects, though things of magical nature can interact with her.

In her true form, she's exactly an inch taller than Ayane, something that the latter believes to be Renge's attempt at mocking her petite stature, even though the truth is quite lamer than that, being purely a coincidence. Her alternate form is essentially a chibified version of herself, standing only a foot tall, leaning even more into the image of a living doll.

PERSONALITY:

Calm and soft-spoken, the ghost-like entity who self-proclaims herself to be a 'Spirit Guardian' seems to have humanity's best interests at heart, or at least, she intends to maintain the sanctity of the cycle of life and death, which implies taking care of those who wish to disrupt said cycle. Which is quite convenient as those disruptive beings are often malevolent anyways, Renge's priorities may be different than that of an Average Joe, but they coincidentally wish for the same thing, for malicious monsters and murderous people to be made... a non-issue.

Unflinchingly stoic, Renge doesn't seem capable of experiencing emotions like a normal person, or more aptly, it's folly to apply the standards of a common man to a supernatural entity such as her.

BACKSTORY:

Murasaki's so-called 'Spirit Guardian' and the source of her supernatural powers, Renge - 'Lotus' in Japanese - appeared in the dead of night to one Kitaōji Ayane, a girl-... no, a middle-aged woman in her late 30s and chose her to be the bearer of her spiritual powers. When Ayane questioned her whether she was a patron of magical girls, the ethereal entity admitted to be unfamiliar with such terms, but it mattered not, she simply wished to know if the human would accept the task or not. Figuring that the prospect seemed close enough to magical girls, Ayane shrugged and accepted the offer, taking up the mantle of essentially a magical girl despite being almost four decades old.

Over the course of their partnership, Ayane theorized that Renge is a Shinigami, spiritual beings tasked with guiding the souls of the dead to the afterlife, though Renge herself never claimed to be one, at least not explicitly. Regardless, they currently have a mutually beneficial relationship and both of them were content to let the arrangement continue.

OTHER DETAILS:

❖ Color Code: f54c4d
❖ Renge is invisible to anyone except Ayane, individuals who’re able to sense spirits, and morbidly enough, dying people.
❖ Those capable of perceiving her presence will notice that the flowers, petals, and butterflies on her kimono move and sway as if they're alive. She's also constantly surrounded by trailing wisps of butterfly-shaped light, except hers are red versus Murasaki's purple.

Maximillian Edenheit - 21st Century Paladin

Maximillian Edenheit

Character Summary

Name: Maximillian Edenheit
Aliases: Max, White Knight, Dreamboat
Age: 17
Class: First Year
Gender: Male
Specialty: Swordsmanship
Role, Rank, and Order: Student, Knight, Order of Shield

Attributes

Height: 172cm (5'8")
Weight: 78kg (172lbs)
Build: Athletic, toned
Eyes: Sapphire
Hair: Blond, short, combed leftward
Skin Tone: Pale
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Various faded cut scars and calloused hands from intense training.
Day To Day Attire: Either school uniform or a white formal suit w/ blue accents.

Strengths:

❖ Valiant: Maximillian is brave, there's no other way around it. The blonde barely flinches in the face of danger, maintaining his cool even in situations that'll send the common man into panic. Though he's not completely unable to feel fear, he can reliably channel that fear into focus instead.
❖ Robust: The White Knight matches his stalwart mental fortitude with admirable physical endurance. He can take more blows than the average person before going down and the effects of healing magic appear to be amplified when cast on him.
❖ Kind: Max is one of those individuals who possess a genuinely kind heart, he almost always helps others without expecting any reward even in situations where it's his right to be compensated, and it's exceedingly difficult for him to hold a grudge. Although he doesn't hesitate to punish evil when he sees it, but only because it's the right thing to do and not due to any personal vendetta.

Weaknesses:

❖ Naive: A wide-eyed idealist, a young boy who never quite grew up, a naive fool, so said his detractors, but they may have a point. Maximillian believes that with enough effort, good will triumph over evil and that every villain will always get their dues, except that reality often isn't quite so simple.
❖ Sexist: His fascination with olden tales of chivalry and knighthood may have inspired him to walk the path of a selfless protector, but on the other hand, they also influenced him to put women in a certain light, that they're delicate flowers who must be protected from the evils of the world. Though Max doesn't consciously realize it most of the time, others can see that he's hesitant to fight women and tends to assume that evil women are simply 'misguided'.

Psychology

Brave * Chivalrous * Altruistic * Idealistic

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Gallant, chivalrous, brave, and selfless, Maximillian embodies the concept of the 'knight in shining armor'. He believes that it's his duty to help the helpless and defend those who can't defend themselves. There's a certain naively idealistic air about him that endears to some, but infuriates others, however, whether they agree or not with his methods, one will be hard-pressed to deny that for all of his faults, Max is truly a kind person. He genuinely wishes to bring happiness to others, to fight so they don't have to. Such a character may be commonplace in tales of gallant knights and heroic adventurers, but not so much in the real world.

Unscrupulous individuals, especially if they're women, who know how to veil ill intent behind a cordial mask will find it quite easy to pull Maximillian's strings. The White Knight may believe he's fighting on the side of good and justice, but if he's not careful, his trusting nature may very well be his own undoing.

Habits:

❖ Chuckling and/or smiling to express disagreement.
❖ Opening doors, giving way, and various other "gentlemanly" things for people, especially girls.

Hobbies:

❖ Horse riding, it's an enjoyable pastime as well as a necessary skill for him.
❖ Volunteer work, at least one good deed a day.
❖ Enjoying fiction, especially Epic and High Fantasy, whether in the form of books, movies, or video games.

Fears:

❖ Betrayal
❖ Being manipulated

Likes:

❖ Knights
❖ Heroic fiction
❖ Fair maidens
❖ Altruism
❖ Mountains
❖ Horses

Dislikes:

❖ Tyrants
❖ Tales with a "bad ending"
❖ Manipulators
❖ Oppression
❖ Beaches
❖ Wasps

Skills

A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice, apprentice, journeyman, expert, master.

• Swordsmanship (Journeyman): From the moment he first held onto the grip of a sword, Max knew that he was born to carry the blade, wield it, and perhaps one day, die by it. Though he himself never thinks of his talents as any special, any fencing instructor worth their salt will recognize the boy's natural aptitude with the weapon. With time and experience, he has a good chance of standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest swordsmen in history.
• Horse Riding (Apprentice): A proper knight shouldn't be a one-trick pony, thus, even though his greatest talent lies with the sword, Max picks up other disciplines to complement his sacred role. He's not as skilled with them yet, but he has no intention of stopping here. Though other faster, more reliable forms of travel are available nowadays, Max won't feel quite right if he doesn't know how to ride these majestic beasts that had served humanity since time immemorial.
• Archery (Apprentice): It's folly to think that a knight can only fight up close as sometimes, certain situations require a more distant approach. Between fighting ‘honorably’ or saving an innocent's life? There's no choice to make because there's only one right answer.
• Hiking (Apprentice): Max's fondness for mountains and physical exercise in general incentivize him to go hiking, exploring the wonders of nature while training his body at the same time, kill two birds with one stone as they say.
• Waltz (Novice): Inspired by scenes of a knight hero dancing elegantly with their princess (or prince) in the tales he saw, Max had an idea to take up waltz lessons, but apparently, being skilled in fencing footwork doesn't immediately translate to the dance floor.

Talents & Powers

A listing of unique talents, magic, or possessions. Teachers may have two majors and two minors. 4th year Knights may have one major and two minors. 3rd year Knights may have two minors. 2nd year Knights may have one minor. Nobles and 1st year Knights may have one minor.
For the Order of Shield, please fill out with specialized attacks/maneuvers/weapons/etc.
For the Order of Twilight, please fill out with magic/artifacts/specialized moves/etc.

• Golden Dawn (Artifact / Minor): An old heirloom of the Edenheit family taking the form of a golden-blue longsword. It's said to be once wielded by one of the Knights of the Round Table. Whether the legend is true or not, one thing is clear, the sword holds some supernatural power as despite possibly being older than a millennium (if the legends are to be believed), it's still pristine as if freshly forged. Aside from being utterly shattered into million pieces, the sword will eventually return to this flawless state.

History

Parents:

❖ August Edenheit (Father, Private Accountant, 40)
❖ Vishka Edenheit (Mother, Florist, 43)

Siblings:

❖ Erina Edenheit (Sister, Student, 14)
❖ Erio Edenheit (Sister, Student, 10)

Childhood:

The eldest child of three siblings, Maximillian was born to a happily-married middle-class family in the United Kingdom, specifically England. Being the oldest and only boy amongst his siblings had acclimatized Max to the role of a protector and guide, the one his younger sisters depended on whenever his parents weren't available. Perhaps this was why tales of chivalrous knights resonated greatly with him; whether it was the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table or Emperor Charlegmane and his Holy Paladins, the blonde boy had been fascinated by such stories of stalwart chivalry, unflinching in the face of evil.

And indeed, there are evil in the real world as well, whether it took the form of bullies trying to hurt his sisters or tyrannical dictators oppressing the people, the real world is full of villains who must be punished so that the good may live peacefully. A daydreamer, a wide-eyed idealist, a naive little fool, whatever his peers chose to call him, good or bad, Maximillian knew one thing, that he was born into this earth to be a crusader of justice, to be the defender of the defenseless, and helper of those who can't help themselves.

Thus, between his regular education, Maximillian began taking fencing classes, and this was where he - and his family - discovered his talent. It was as if Sir Gawain himself was reincarnated as him. Speaking of which, perhaps there was some truth to the legends behind the old family heirloom, an enchanted longsword that has been passed down from generations to generations, once said to be wielded by one of the Knights of the Round Table.

Adolescence:

As it turned out, one of his father's most prominent clients, a nobleman of the Harcourt family, heard news of the accountant's eldest son. Intrigued by the boy's vision and talents, the nobleman offered to sponsor his enrollment into the illustrious Saint Valerius Academy. Honored by the generous proposition, Maximillian graciously accepted and vowed to do his utmost best, he shall be a full-fledged knight, crusader of justice!

If there are billions of good people on this world, then he's one of them; if there are only a million or even a few thousands, then he's still one of them; if there's only one, then he's that person; finally, if there's none left, then that means he's no longer alive. He'll defend all that's good and well in the world until his very last breath.

Special Moments:

❖ When he first wielded his family's heirloom sword.
❖ When he received sponsorship from the Harcourt family to enroll in Saint Valerius Academy.

Current Events:

❖ None at the moment.

Karmilla von Feuerstein - HRE Imperial Princess

Karmilla von Feuerstein

Character Summary

Name: Karmilla von Feuerstein
Full Title: Ihre Kaiserliche Hoheit Karmilla von Feuerstein, die zweite Kaiserprinzessin des Heiligen Römischen Reiches (Her Imperial Highness Karmilla von Feuerstein the Second Princess of the Holy Roman Empire)
Aliases: Millie, Your Imperial Highness, Die Eiserne Prinzessin (The Iron Princess)
Age: 15
Class: First Year
Gender: Female
Speciality: Enchantment Magic
Role, Rank, and Order: Student, Royal (Noble), Kaiserliches Königshaus des Heiligen Römischen Reiches (Imperial Family of the Holy Roman Empire)

Attributes

Height: 157cm (5'2")
Weight: 48kg (106lbs)
Build: Hourglass
Eyes: Amethyst
Hair: Carmine, wavy, waist-length, let loose plus a crown braid tied w/ a black ribbon
Skin Tone: Cream
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Earrings
Day To Day Attire: Either school uniform or a red royal dress w/ black accents. Regardless of her choice for the day, Millie is almost always never seen without her black hair ribbon and golden brooch.

Strengths:

❖ Assertive: Karmilla has a knack for persuading others to do her bidding. Whether through diplomatic persuasion, veiled threats, or subtle manipulation, the Iron Princess always makes sure she'll get her way.
❖ Ambitious: Possessing a strong drive to continuously work towards her goals, Karmilla is nothing but diligent. One can always count on her to get the job done as the notion of slacking off isn't even recognized in her dictionary.
❖ Empathic: Through the combination of mundane methods and arcane talents, Karmilla can keenly read the emotions of others, enabling her to tailor her approach to that specific target.

Weaknesses:

❖ Stubborn: When Karmilla sets her mind on something, it's exceedingly difficult to sway her from her path. While spite is a strong motivator for people in general, it's especially effective for Karmilla.
❖ Insecure: Behind the assertive princess of the Holy Roman Empire lies an insecure teenage girl who's desperate to prove her worth in the eyes of her family, friends, and people. When brought up, Karmilla will vehemently deny this flaw of hers, but her excessive insistence only serves to prove that she is.

Psychology

Ambitious * Assertive * Keen * Imperious

Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Ardent to a fault, Prinzessin Karmilla von Feuerstein of the Holy Roman Empire is an ambitious adolescent who pursues her goals with a zealous drive. Despite being third in the line of succession, she wholly believes that she's the one who's most deserving to be the next Kaiserin, and she'll stop at nothing to prove to the world that she's worthy, even more so than her older brother and sister.

Millie takes her goals very seriously and any attempt to dissuade her from what she perceives to be her rightful birthright will be met with hostility. A subscriber to autocratic principles, the imperial princess believes that social strata exist for a good reason, that civilization can't properly function without a robust social hierarchy. The only way a nation can truly prosper is if each of its people know their role and collectively work together toward a mutual goal. Of course, she herself belongs at the very top of the pecking order, that much is a given... or should be, worry not, she'll rectify this issue soon enough.

Habits:

❖ Writing in her journal.
❖ Staring at people's eyes, sometimes a tad bit too intense than socially acceptable.

Hobbies:

❖ Watching theatres, both drama and musical performances.
❖ Playing board games, particularly those that involve some form of strategy.
❖ Sharpshooting, keeps her reflexes sharp even if she doesn't intend to be a full-fledged Knight.

Fears:

❖ Rejection
❖ Belittlement

Likes:

❖ Scheming
❖ Writing and reading
❖ Honing her knowledge and skills
❖ Agreeable and obedient individuals
❖ Tea
❖ Cats

Dislikes:

❖ Idling
❖ "Mindless" entertainment
❖ Decadent nobles
❖ Stubborn and rebellious people
❖ Coffee
❖ Pigs

Skills

A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice, apprentice, journeyman, expert, master.

• Leadership (Journeyman): Karmilla's greatest mundane talent. The imperial princess is a natural leader, able to persuade, manipulate, and even intimidate others to ensure the chain of command remains strong and infighting kept to a minimum, all to ensure the group's collective goals are successfully achieved in a timely manner.
• Enchantress (Journeyman): Karmilla's greatest arcane talent. Connected to her ability to keenly discern the hearts of others, she makes great use of her natural gifts in the Enchanting school of magic to bend others to her whim.
• Writing (Apprentice): Karmilla often writes in her spare time, mostly in her journal where she lays her thoughts and desires into paper.
• Firearm (Apprentice): A royal should never be completely defenseless, thus, Karmilla regularly takes courses in firearm usage even if mainly for self-defense purposes.
• Feline Husbandry (Novice): Due to her fondness for cats, Karmilla took a few lessons in how to care for them, but this pursuit is quite low in her list of priorities.

Talents & Powers

A listing of unique talents, magic, or possessions. Teachers may have two majors and two minors. 4th year Knights may have one major and two minors. 3rd year Knights may have two minors. 2nd year Knights may have one minor. Nobles and 1st year Knights may have one minor.
For the Order of Shield, please fill out with specialized attacks/maneuvers/weapons/etc.
For the Order of Twilight, please fill out with magic/artifacts/specialized moves/etc.

• Mystic Eyes of Enchantment (Power / Minor): In addition to regular spellcasting methods, Karmilla possesses a unique form of casting for Enchantment spells. When casting a spell from the Enchantment School, Millie can choose to activate them via her eyes, affecting those who're currently making direct eye contact with her when the spell is cast. This unorthodox method bypasses any vocal or somatic components that'd otherwise be present, but with the caveat that direct eye contact is mandatory, this means targets who won't or can't make eye contact with her for any reason are immune to her Mystic Eyes.

History

Parents:

❖ Kaiser Frederick von Feuerstein (Father, Holy Roman Emperor, 45, Portrait)
❖ Kaiserin Helena von Feuerstein (Mother, Holy Roman Empress-Consort, 42, Portrait)

Siblings:

❖ Prinz Gustav von Feuerstein (Brother, Imperial Crown Prince, 19)
❖ Prinzessin Elise von Feuerstein (Sister, Imperial Princess, 17)

Childhood:

As the third child of the reigning emperor and empress of the Holy Roman Empire, one of the most prominent sovereign nations in the world and arguably the most influential and powerful country in the European continent, Imperial Princess Karmilla of House Feuerstein received the best care, nutrition, and education beyond the reaches of most people, hell, even most of nobility. Between these and her ambitious nature, Karmilla grew to be a shrewd young girl with a sharp wit and the strong will to match, earning her the moniker "Die Eiserne Prinzessin", The Iron Princess.

Even as a young girl, Karmilla always had a knack for getting her way, then amplified even further by the 2nd Princess' talent for enchantment magic, beguiling those who so much as gaze into her amethyst irises. As a result, not an insignificant number of people in the empire believe that the Iron Princess should be made Crown Princess instead of her older brother, Gustav.

Alas, due to the empire's succession laws preferring primogeniture principles, bright and talented as she is, Karmilla is still relegated to being "merely" third in the line of succession, something that has always nagged her for as long as she could remember. No matter, nothing worth fighting for comes easily and rest assured, she'd fight tooth and nail to prove herself as the indisputably worthy heir to the imperial throne.

Adolescence:

In an effort to further her studies and hone her talents into peerless diamonds, Karmilla enrolled into the illustrious Saint Valerius Academy. Though mostly proud of her own country, even Karmilla has to admit that the fabled academy trumps even the best educational institutions the empire has to offer and for her, nothing but the best shall do. Of course, being the daughter of the freakin' Kaiser who's also gifted and diligent in her own right, the imperial princess' eventual acceptance into the academy is all but assured.

Enrolling was the easy part, however, and now, she has to prove herself as Valedictorian Supreme by the end of the 4th year. She will, she must, and those who wish to support her will be honored most greatly, but woe to any who's foolish enough to stand in her way for even hell hath no fury like the Iron Princess scorned...

Special Moments:

❖ When she successfully cast a spell via her Mystic Eyes for the first time.
❖ When she first stepped foot into the halls of Saint Valerius as an officially-enrolled student.

Current Events:

❖ None at the moment.

Symphony on High

I'm already using Discord anyway so I'm cool with it.

My only "concern" (Read: First World Problem) though is that Discords tend to make the OOC completely abandoned, it'll be nice to have best of both worlds where the RP has Discord but the OOC is still used regularly or semi-regularly. I wonder if it can be done.
