A banner with the words "GOOD LUCK!" sagged over the large entrance of a hangar. Inside stood a girl with striking white hair and more notably small wings sprouting out of it. Her cold blue eyes stared at the entrance, waiting for the arrival of her guide. Instead, a middle aged man in a sharp uniform entered the hangar. She gave a hasty salute and he returned it. "At ease flight officer, only came to see you off." he glanced around the hangar, noticing the empty plastic cups and stuffed trash cans. "I take it your going away party with your fellow squadron mates was a success?" he said with a chuckle

"Yes sir! Sort of regretting it now though... Still a bit hung over..." she said giving a yawn. "If my parents had seen me at that going away party I would been dead within a minute." The man chuckled again, but soon his expression became more solemn.

"Listen.... Flight-, no, Alika, I know you must resent them for not showing up to see you off.... It's just your father being a Colonel now and your mother in-"

"Marcus, you don't need to defend them. I'm sure they have their reasons...They always seem to do.... I'm just happy I'm doing something for myself for a change..." she paused and gave a sigh and sad smile "But it hasn't been all bad. I'm gonna miss you sir, and the 118th. I mean what will happen to Maxwell if I'm not there to stop him from crashing into another wing of the Academy!" she said, seemingly trying to keep a light heart about the situation. Just then a large gust blew through the hangar and at its entrance stood a mighty griffin. The two starred for a moment at the beast, amazed by its appearance. "Well, I guess that's my guide... I better be going." Alika walked over to her gear, picking up her gear and weapon before leaping into her Striker. The engines glowed blue for a moment as the warmed up. She began to taxi out of the hangar and looked over to see her entire flight on the side of the run way in a line. Marcus walked out in front of them.

"Attention!" They all stand straight, arms at their side. "Bear Arms!" Everyone gives and holds a salute, staring at her intently. Alika held by the urge just to run up and hug all of them and simply nodded instead. The griffin walks up to her confused. She turns to it, petting its head.

"Don't worry big guy, I can fly myself, could you just lead me there?" The griffin tilted his head and nodded, still no entirely sure if the strange human was speaking the truth. With a strong flap of his wings he was in the air, with Alika soon following. She glanced back below at the academy fading away into the distance. Giving a sad sigh, she looked forward towards the griffin, flying through the sky. After a few hours they passed through the Black Gale and began to approach the new academy. The griffin motioned to the school and waved off. "Thank you!!" Alika yelled. The griffin cawed in response and flew away. The early morning sadness was now replaced with the a new found excitement as she watched griffins carrying students landed and dropped off her potential classmates. Giving a big grin she dove down and did a fly by of the school at supersonic speeds, causing a sonic boom moments later. She circled again at more moderate speed before landing.

"I see your still your lively self Alika!"

The skies were dark grey and mud seem to be everywhere Leytenánt Akulova went. The only part that was solid ground on the base was the hastily paved tarmac of the runway and landing pads. Elena gave a big yawn and hunched over. She had spent most the night providing nighttime CAS (close air support) to advancing forces and she didn't even have time to change or anything. Instead she wore her somewhat muddy camouflage uniform carried her gear on her back. She already had her striker unit mounted and her gun set up as she practically fell asleep with it once she got back. Just then a griffin landed, causing quite a stir. Within a minute, several troops, an armored car, and a tank had stopped what they were doing and pointed they're weapons at the beast. The griffin cautiously looked around, suddenly feeling very small when his rider suddenly loudly proclaimed "BACK OFF COMRADS! THIS IS MY BEAST! I SHALL TAME YOUUUUUU!" and jumped into the air. The griffin had only one thought.

"...What????"

The griffin gave a yelp when Elena landed all 250lbs of equipment, not to mention her own muscular self onto it suddenly. "Forward flying beast! TO victory!" the griffin, still dazed and confused by what's going on, stumbled a bit before launching into the sky. "Mighty beast not so mighty eh? Of course you no match for me!" They flew through the skies for a couple of hours, the whole time Elena lazily napped on the beast's back, letting him do all the work. It wasn't before long they arrived at the academy. The beast shook Elena off, flinging her to the ground. "OW! Son of a bitch! Hey! Flying beast! GET BACK HERE!" But it was too late as the griffin had hurriedly flown away. Elena stood up, brushing herself off before looking around. "Damn... what a freak show.." she mumbled, seeing the wide diversity of the students. "Though I guess me and Alika don't have very much to..." a sonic boom rang out over the students. "Well speak of the devil." She walked over to where Alika stood and waved. "I see your still your lively self Alika!"

"Die in a fire Elena" Alika said, turning away, arms crossed.

"Eh? What? What did I do to anger my little birdie?"

"I still haven't forgotten what happened in Hawaii!"

"Ohh dat? Oh ho ho, come now, that was all in the past and besides..." Elena but her arm around Alika and leaned in next to her. "If I remember correctly you really enjoyed it." Alika's face went red and she pushed Elena away.

"I WAS REALLY, REALLY DRUNK NO THANKS TO YOU!" she then realized what she yelled and became even more embarrased. Elena simply laughed her heart out at the poor girl.

Nickname
Goes by her regular name, but does respond to her callsign from training "Mobius 1"

Gender
Female

Age
18

Year
First

Birthday
January 2, 2049

Astrological Sign
"Astrology is bullshit"- A person who read a book

Species
"Enhanced Human"
A type of modified human that the earth governments, particularly the United States, have been incorporating into their military. Based on the role the recruit is going into, they are given a modifier that helps them with their job. Alika was given the "Gyrfalcon" modification, greatly increasing her reaction time and eye site. The bi-products vary, such as her new found physical features like her white hair, the small feathered wings sprouting from her head, or her new feathered tail. She only just went through the process a month ago so she still getting used to the new found abilities. The another part comes with a slight unintentional increase in a user's magical affinity. Allowing them to use rudimentary magic more effectively.

Class
"Strike Witch"
A Strike Witch as a unit is typically an individual given both physical modifications and special equipment for combat. As an Aerial Witch, Alika is given a "Striker", a leg mounted unit that allows her to fly through the sky like a jet fighter. Her particular module is an old family one that's been passed down for a few generations. It's based off of the F-22 fighter from the early 2010s which was the most advance fighter of its time. She has minor stealth capabilities and can zip and turn through the sky like no other. Strike Witches are often more heavily armed, hence her M61 Gatling Rifle.

Weapon
"The M61 Gatling Rifle"
This heavy assault rifle fires 20mm rounds at around 4,000 rounds a minute. Naturally she has to have a light trigger finger with this bullet hose weapon. Thankfully the recoil is well managed and she can use it effectively, though it is a short to medium range weapon even as deadly as it is.

World
Earth

Short Biography
To put it simply, she was pressed into military service through her family, making her go to the United States Air Force Academy at 17. When she recieved the letter she took it as a way out of getting thrown into the military life and finally doing something with her life where she will have the final say. Other than that, the more gritty things will hopefully be revealed later in the roleplay.

Personality
A friendly individual who tends to lean on the skeptical side.

Partner
To be assigned

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Fears? She doesn't want to die. That's it. She's been getting military life and mentality shoved down her throat for most of her life so the concept of hesitating in a fight out of fear is lost to her. She fears losing her friends or hell even her family even after the crazy lifestyle they put her through. She's only human after all.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
She is really really really good with flying. I mean anything. You stick her in a bi-plane and in a minute she's flying like an Ace. Its one of the few things she feels pure joy and happiness from. That's why she still stuck to keeping her Strikers as they are a key to her ultimate freedom. Flying is her life.

Theme Song
"Gotta Stay Fly"


Other
Stuff.

Full Name
Елена Акуловa
Elena Akulova

Nickname(s)
Goes by the callsign "Shark 2-1"

Gender
Female

Age
18

Year
First

Birthday
December 10th 2048

Astrological Sign
"I care not for petty symbols"

Species
A type of modified human that the earth governments used, and the Russian Federation was no exception. Based on the role the recruit is going into, they are given a modifier that helps them with their job. Elena was given the "Shark" modification, greatly increasing her endurance, strength, tracking ability, and physical protection. The bi-products vary, such as her new found physical features like her hardened skin that particularly shows on her face as seen in the image, her new sharp jagged teeth, or her new found shark like tail. This transformation occurred earlier in her life and she is fairly used to it. The another part comes with a slight unintentional increase in a user's magical affinity. Allowing them to use rudimentary magic more effectively.

Class
"Strike Witch"
A Strike Witch as a unit is typically an individual given both physical modifications and special equipment for combat. As an Aerial Witch, Elena is given a "Heli Striker", a back mounted unit that allows her to fly through the sky like an aircraft. However, Elena was given a unique "Heli Striker" based off the older Russian Ka-50 Shark attack helicopter. She is slower than jet strikers in the air, but has greater control and can hover in the air as well as take off vertically with ease.

Weapon
She was given weaponry that compliment her Striker Unit. First is the most prominent 40mm Auto Cannon she wields. Using what little knowledge she has currently of magic, she can enhance the rounds fired from her weapon to pack even a greater punch. Second is the four "KA19 AGM Missiles" she has mounted on her arm. Finally she carries a family air loom. A cavalry sword that has been passed down from soldier to soldier. Other than its antiquity and craftsmanship, there is nothing extraordinary about the blade.

World
Earth

Short Biography
She was conscripted into the experimental Strike Witch program at age 15 during the "Second Crimea War". While the process was painful and taxing on her body and mind, she came out with her sanity and new found abilities. During a Joint Operations program, she met Alika and has been one her few true friends ever since. She's excited to be chosen to go to the same school as Alika since their military careers would originally make it hard for them to meet up in person.

Personality
Very laid back and friendly. Never takes anything very seriously.

Partner
To be assigned. (Would find it funny for her to be paired with someone other than Alika just to have fun with the drama that would ensue!)

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
She fears her closest friends dieing or suffering in her life. She has no problem putting down a threat but still leads a compicated morality that is always present in any combat situation. .

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
"What? Being part Shark is not good enough? Well I can't blame ye. Dis be a very freak show here."

Oho, it's Kilo! I remember you from that Nation RP last year. How've you been?

Oh hey! I've been good, tried to GM a NRP to save it, but that failed in an epic fashion! XD Anyway, lookin forward to joining in on this if ya got the room

Academy Of The Arcane Artes

I don't really mind. I was just confused about the difference

The Summoner's Labyrinth

Hey! I spotted this in the Interesting check and I'm totally in! is there still room for one more?

Academy Of The Arcane Artes

Hey, is anyone else a bit confused by what real difference it makes about your world? I mean I thought earth was supposed to be all technological and modern, like near future stuff right now and Lucis being the fantasy world of goblins and ghouls if you get me. Turns out it really doesn't matter according to a lot of the CSs here. Plenty of earth people with magical weapons and from remote villages of the mid 21st century using swords like their still relevant.

I'm not complaining, I'm just literally confused why it matters.
