Name: Beri Anne Garrison
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Canon: God Eater 2 Rage Burst (Main Character OC)
Main Thread or Sandbox: Sandbox
Starting Location (SANDBOX ONLY): Gotham
Personality:
An overall stubborn, hard headed woman, who became a God Eater to make a living for herself. Despite this, Beri is seen as a kind and overall gentle person, always attempting to look out for her team. Beri is also a woman who finds humor in almost any situation to the point of being overly sarcastic despite not meaning to.
Beri is also an emotionally charged woman, giving into her emotions even in the midst of battle. During her encounter with the revived Rachel Claudius in the Spiral Tree, Beri attacked her without hesitation--wanting her gone after what she did to her superior and former Captain, Julius. In combat, Beri is reckless, charging in with little to no plan, which ends up with her being incapacitated most of the fight and having her companions help her up, despite being the leader of her squad. Despite this, Beri is a fighter who doesn't know when to back down, even if it costs her own life. Beri is known to cuss a lot during combat.
Equipment:
God Arc ~ Beri’s own personal weapon. A God Arc is essentially a living, non sentient weapon. It can only be held by its wielder. Anyone else, and they’ll get a veinful of Oracle Cells rejecting them--which would lead to infection, and mutation into an Aragami. Beri’s God Arc is a Buster Blade, a large sword which can increase and decrease its length by either retracting the blade onto itself, or by initiating a Charge Crush, which condenses Oracle Cells around the God Arc, creating a slightly longer blade. Its sides can enlarge into a shield, which, well, shields Beri from attacks.
A God Arc can transform from a Melee weapon to a Ranged Weapon. Beri's ranged weapon is the Blast Gun, which specializes in explosives. Using Oracle Cells, Beri can load her weapon to fire 6 types of bullets. Normal type, which has no attributes. Healing Bullets, which heals and/or repairs allies. Divine, Fire, Ice, and Spark, which are elemental bullets.
Bias Factor Kit ~ A Kit of Bias Factors. Allows God Eaters like Beri to keep functioning without becoming infected themselves. These Bias Factors are usually injected directly onto their bracelets. God Eaters need this to survive.
Attributes:
God Eater Physiology ~ As a God Eater, Beri is someone that’s...Sort of human. A God Eater is essentially one that’s been injected with Oracle Cells to wield a God Arc. Oracle Cells are destructive cells that devour just about anything--like a living nanomite built to demolish, but on a more biological scale. Beri comes from a world where Oracle Cells are able to be researched and weaponized. In anycase, as a God Eater, Beri is granted enhanced jumping ability, strength to lift her God Arc, and of course, enhanced durability.
Blood Rage ~ As the only God Eater outfitted with Resonance Control, Beri is able to become completely invincible and enhance their strength and speed tenfold. However, it doesn’t last very long as Blood Rage only has 2 minutes of active time.(3 to 5 posts tops), and it causes Beri to become berserk. It’s time limit can apparently be increased depending on Beri’s emotional state. Beri had reportedly gone Blood Rage for over 5 minutes when one of her ‘students’, Kanon Daiba became injured during a large scale defense operation and went unconscious. Beri activated Blood Rage in an instant without initiating Resonance Control and annihilated her targets that day and went off to ensure Kanon’s survival before passing out herself.
Evoke ~ Beri’s Blood Power. Constantly active, it allows Beri to essentially unlock latent abilities hidden within one’s God Arc by communicating with its oracle cells. Evoke may also work for other powered individuals by inciting a subtle reaction that would lead to unlocking a new power..
Biography:
Beri enlisted as a God Eater, with the potential to become a Blood member and wield a 3rd generation God Arc. After passing the test s/he is admitted to the Blood unit for the potential of their dormant "Power of Blood" joining at the same moment as Nana Kozuki. After gaining experience as God Eater and become more acquainted with fellow Blood members Julius and Romeo, during a mission Beri is assaulted by an aragami known as Marduk, she awakens her blood power while scarring its left eye, which earns them the position of vice-captain. Beri's Blood Power is to evoke the usage of dormant powers in others, especially non-Blood members, and the ability to amplify power of will. After being appointed as vice-captain, she becomes friends with Blood's newcomer Ciel Alencon at her request. When finding that Ciel was in danger during a mission, she decided to ignore orders, climbing into a God Arc Soldier to save thier friend. This results in her getting locked up for disobeying orders, for an unknown amount of time.
When moved to the Far East Branch, Beri meets many new God Eaters, helps taking down psions and helps their fellow Blood member with some of their own personal struggles. The poeple of the Far East Branch also mentioned how she acts very similar to a certain person they know. After the Romeo's death and Julius' depart from the Blood Team, she becomes the new captain at Julius request. They hear the truth of the current happenings at Friar from Leah, she along with their fellow Blood members, Yuno and other God Eater situated at the Far East at the time, decided to stop Rachel's plans and save Julius. Reaching Friar they were too late as Julius already became a singularity and the however she uses their evoke blood power to amplify with yuno's song to counter Julius' singularity power. They manage to avert the devouring apocalypse but fail in retrieving Julius. They continue to work with their remaining Blood colleagues in the fight against the aragami and protect the Spiral Tree where Juulius resides in.
Some time has passed since the fight against the Singularity, when oned day the Far East is visited by Isaac Feldman and his subordinate Livie who temporarily joins Blood to investigate the current situation of the Spiral Tree which had been contaminated. During this time Licca was able to develop a unique ability known as Blood Rage which serves as a power-up during battle and only Beri can able to use. Blood, along with a few members of Cradle and Units from the Far East Branch all took part in the later investigations that would take place, until Blood found that the cause of all the issues as Rachel. In a last effort to stop her Blood heads into the spiral tree in a last effort to stop her. They manage to defeat her, but Rachel is able to restrain the team and heads to Julius to begin the devouring apocalypse. With sheer determination Beri breaks free of Rachel's control and rescues Julius taking down Rachel before she starts the devouring apocalypse.
An awakened Julius apologises for his mistakes, when the protagonist reasurres him that he's not alone and that blood including Romeo will alwyas be together. To stop the apocalypse, everyone uses their blood power to amplify Romeo's with Beri's, using her Rage Burst ability to strengthen it managing to not stop it, but slow down the apocalypse and prevent the destruction of the world. Because of this Blood also lost their armlet's becoming humans again, though with a choice to become God Eaters once more. After a talk with her colleagues Blood, everyone concluded that they all still wish to become God Eaters once more as Beri leads a newly Blood, with the return of Romeo, Julius and a permanent inclusion of Livie.
Months later, Beri passes on leadership to Romeo and joins Cradle, where she bounces from Satellite Base to Satellite Base as a guard.
Other: Beri is under a constant time limit. If she doesn’t take a Bias Factor to keep her Oracle Cells in check, an Aragami infection will occur, which will gradually transform her into an Aragmi. There were rare cases where the Aragmi Infection didn't fully transform her into a monster, but that is mostly up to chance.
