"And here's your iced latte, and the ice cream parfait!" A cheerful and enthusiastic voice could be heard in the establishment. The Internet cafe carried a warm, cozy, and relaxing atmosphere, naturally drawing attention to the obviously foreign girl in the place. "One lemon tea coming up!" While moving around, her long ponytail trailed after her, the lustrous yellow color mingling into a strawberry pink at the ends, her bright blue eyes glittered with excitement as she moved to and fro.

However, her Japanese was quite fluent for a foreigner, although that may be attributed to her early settlement. After finishing up a few more orders, she glanced at the clock on the wall, noting that her shift was just about over. "Okay! Time to get to work!" Casually brushing off the several requests to bring her to dinner, the American ran to the back rooms, finding a seat to sit, and a table to rest her head on. Sitting herself down, Lina joyfully dove into the world of Deep Ground Online.

Leviathan

Blinking her eyes open quickly, as she felt the change in her surroundings. No longer was she at the cafe, wearing the maid-like uniform of hers. Now, she was in DGO, where data flows just as air flows in the real world. "Now, let's see what happened while I was at work..." Mumbling those words softly to herself, Lina, now as Leviathan, searched through the news.

However, a flashing icon at the corner of her vision alerted her to an unread message. "Ara, Ara, I wonder who would send me a message?" Once again seeming speaking towards herself, she opened up the message, before scanning through the minimalistic content. Smiling slightly, she glanced back at the news.

To: Paper Moon
From: Leviathan
Subject: Re:Back in Action

Glad to have you back! From the looks of it, it seems Dark Wraith wants all the Sweepers to group up together at the Black City. Meet you there!

P.S.: Drop by the cafe again some time! We have delicious ice latte and desserts still~!

Sending off her message, Levi looked around. "Now...to find my way there..." Wandering about, she slowly made her way towards the Black City, although her travels was sped up slightly thanks to hitch hiking off another player after trading a few wares as a price.

@KimiyosisMind if I have Shiro mention Leviathan IG, or have him send her a message, considering that they're co-workers?

Just asking, are there AI's that don't belong to a faction, or is it strictly players in DGO?

@Jedly

Sure

For known interactions....
Well, I forgot which character had the role of student council president, but they would probably know my character.

And any who fawns over her really XD

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Is there a way to recieve messages in the real world from DGO?

So, KoL gave me green light~
This character actually took a bottle of ice wine to create. I've never created someone so middle-ground 0.o!

Now, now, let us calm down a bit. Ah, I know! I can sing for you! What song would you like?

Name: Nadeshiko Kakyoku

Age: 15

School Year: Third Year Junior High(or is it First Year Highschool?)

Height: 5’ 3

Weight: 47kg

Magic Color: White

Normal Appearance: If not in a school uniform, Shiko would usually wear a simple sundress, her dainty body and light frame causing many to follow from a distance, as if afraid of breaking her the moment they touch her. While still a junior high student, her body has hints of a womanly charm, evident if you ever grabbed the budding fle*writer is knocked out*, attracting love interests from both genders oddly enough. When in uniform or a more formal dress, she exudes an aura of a high-class lady, yet with the same calming feel around her.

Transformed Appearance

Personality: Quiet, calm, and serene pretty much sums up Shiko rather nicely. However, calm and quiet, does not mean she will shy away from others. Quite the opposite, as many seem to be drawn towards her. Her oujo-sama like behavior, along with her smooth actions has caused quite a large number of fans to surround her within her school, of either gender.

Many would tell you that Shiko is rather reliable, seemingly older than she appears due to her mannerism and thoughts, withholding from picking any sides, and in generally settling down anyone in the surroundings. But, those close to her will tell you that she walks on a precarious line between two edges.

Despite not being influenced by emotions too much, it doesn't mean she denies her emotions. Rather, she treats everything in moderation. A little bit of everything, so to speak.

It is only a rumor, but it seems that Shiko swings both ways.

Background: Born in a wealthy but somewhat old style family, Nadeshiko. However, she was brought up with the expectations to be the catalyst of peace between two family-run businesses, by being married in with the boy of the other family. Otherwise, her life was pretty normal. In school, Shiko was both bright and popular, garnering attention from most of the boys and quite a number of girls as well, while keeping a smiling face at her arranged fiancé's words of claiming she was his.

Just about any arguments that occurred, or fights that broke out, would be calmed down easily with gentle yet understanding words. This was probably the main reason behind why she was voted to be on the student council, although she barely manage to lower it to vice-president.

Powers
Card: XIV – Temperence Her powers is extremely varied and versatile, but have the same common point of counters and balancing.

Perfect Counterbalance: Any MATERIAL/PHYSICAL type only attacks will be perfectly countered by the direct opposite of attack. I've shard thrown at her will be countered by flames, earth will be countered through disappearance of kinetic energy. Basically, any attack that could physically hit, is blocked. However, this does not work on attacks she has not noticed, nor does it work on more supernatural type powers(mental/immaterial) Ambushes/sneak attacks are the perfect counters for this power. Another problem is that this is unable to harm anyone. All it does really, is nullify an attack.

Wings of Liberty/Chains of Oppression: This is technically a two part power. While the actual useful portion is the Wings of Liberty, that can not be done without first utilizing Chains of Oppression. Think of it similar to recharging. Forming white wings around Shiko, they allow her to fly, or protect herself by wrapping herself with them, or fire white feathers from them. Meanwhile, the chains are....problematic. They cause manacles and chains to shackle her tightly. However, while heavy, the chains are capable of taking an absurd amount of damage. So while she can't break them, she can use them to block.

The amount of time she stays in Chains, is the amount of time she can use her wings. Using her wings past that, would forcefully put her into Chains for double the overtime, and without the ability to cancel it before the time's up. While troublesome, she can 'stock up' on usage.

Cycled Recovery: A painful yet viable method of 'healing'. However, instead of actually healing, all it does is move the location of the injury. Whether from one part of the body to another, or from one person to another willing person. This does not affect unwilling people however, which prevents it from being an offensive power.

Reverse Fall: The main method of attacking, except yet again with its bothersome conditions. It creates a rifle with an intricate bayonet attached to it, however the sharpness of the blade and the power behind each bullet is dictated by how lethal the last attack that was sent her way was. By itself, the blade can barely cut butter, and the gun no more dangerous than an airsoft rifle.

Skills: Musical based, especially singing, dancing, and playing the violin.

Weapons: Asides from Reverse Fall, Shiko does not have any weapons(excluding her clipboard/pen)

Equipment: As a vice-president, Shiko carries around a clipboard and pen constantly, alongside usual student carry-on like cellphones, etc.

Other:

There's no warp or teleportation in Deep Ground, but there are roads and vehicles. Most are privately owned however, and by no means easy to get: Many are horded by the guild since the method to repair them require spending precious EXP.

Vehicles are a commodity people: The more the destroy, the less you'd see, and then you'd be stuck walking everywhere.

<Snipped quote by Kimiyosis>

Last time I checked you swore your allegiance with Windel and not me. Sure, you also promised to kill Spriggs, but what's really in it for me? Why should I save you, instead of simply sending someone else to finish your job?

@Lucius Cypher

No repairs through materials or parts?
And um.........I offer the services of the never-ending hunger of the void combined with adorable moe?

@KimiyosisOh, lol. I was scared for a sec.

Wait, do Faraday cages protect against EMP on a large scale? I know their basic principle, but seems to me like you can only protect whatever is inside such a cage from a mass EMP blast if you have a proportionally large enough cage.

I may need to read up on that more. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@DMZ

You'll also have to insulate the electronics from directly touching the cage.
And yes they do. As long as the design is capable of properly concentrating the effect along the cage, the electronics inside should be safe.

Reason why I see people 'foiling' the interior of houses sometimes.

Think in terms of similar to a lightning rod for the cage, and a lightning strike as the cage. However, a lightning rod will not affect an EMP, so don't confuse this example with reality~!

Currently most if not all "Official" Sweepers ought to be in the Black City. Erasers especially since they all need to be briefed by Dark Wraith.

@Lucius Cypher

Seems like I'll have Lina log in and head to the Black City.
Any methods of faster transportation? Warp? Personal Vehicles? Rental Vehicles?
