Ivory? Rich? Please. If only Horizon actually paid her.

"Honestly this dress is probably the most expensive thing I own. I'm not much of a rainmaker. I actually came here with Special Permission."

Ivory flashed the girl her pass, which had her picture, her name Ivory Navella, and occupation, listed as "researcher".

"I'm here from Horizon Frontiers. Originally I was sent to collect data by watching the fight. Or at least I was supposed to. Now that the tournament's cancelled I'm stranded here until my boss can figure out how to make the trip worth it." Ivory explained in a hush. While that seemed like controversial information to flat out expose, there were actually several barriers to it. First off, Horizon Frontiers was no unusual group to be at a fighting tournament. Their (at least surface) goal to observe biology and cybernetics made displays of human skill a must, and often Nomadic abilities required first-hand view to study indently. The same went for cybernetically powered Nomads, which were often a common appearance, especially at the World Warriors Tournament.
Plus, by technicality Ivory was an employee at Horizon Frontiers' surface. Though her usual job included detaining and kidnapping Nomads for experimentation and production of Symbiotes, any official records would just read "intern".

"Honestly most of the actual World Warriors Tournament being a blowout was a yearly disappointment. Now it's not happening at all."

"Thank you!" Calvin thanked the corn dog stand guy. It might've been the last of his 5 bucks, but it was a worthy sacrifice. Plus it was crumb to the fortune he spent getting here, to Zun, the capital in Nomad Culture.

It might've been a real stretch to get here with only 200 dollars; taking a ramshackle plane, riding a leaky ship, even stowing away on a train. All without any food! Well, good food anyway. But it was the perfect place to perfect his grandfather's style, and the perfect time. With the coming of the World Warrior Tournament this Nomad Haven would become a Nomad Hive. Even outside of the tournament there'd be Nomad enthusiasts coming to celebrate, probably looking to fight other people coming to fight. Probably like seeing kids at Fifa playing soccer with each other. Same energy.

Anticipating that, Calvin made every expense to travel straight to the country of Zun by the time the World Warrior Tournament rolled around. It took the little money he had, and a fair bit of danger, but now he was here and goddamn it the Tournament was cancelled?!

Calvin saw it on a display television. All of them. Even ones on different channels. All over the news, local or international, the World Warriors Tournament was cancelled, and Calvin just wasted all his money for nothing. Well... At least he had a corn dog, still.

Or at least he did. As he sulked off into the streets, he just narrowly noticed a speeding bike heading straight towards him. It had a demonic design to it, and showed no sign of veering out of the way or slowing down. The Canadian Walrus-Puncher only had several seconds to mentally yank himself back onto the sidewalk, causing him to bump into a pole and drop his corn dog. He looked on more in horror to his fatal mistake than he did at nearly being run over by a psycho on a bike. For a moment or so.

Calvin turned back to the biker, calling "Hey! Watch where you're going you psycho!" while shaking his gloved fist.

Ivory stood in the crowd even as it began to disperse, trying her best to just blend in and avoid attention. That was until she heard another woman yawn, "cancelling it, just like that? So much for a true test of skill and fighting spirit. I guess this whole 'World Warriors' thing isn't such a big deal after all...", to nobody in particular.

Now in most cases, Ivory would've just brushed that off with the other complaints and faint discussions the other gathered Nomads engaged in. But what caught here interest was the woman's arms. Or rather, lack of arms? Rather than regular human arms, they were made of metal. Cybernetic. Giving them a quick scan, Ivory deduced that they certainly weren't of any make she ever saw before or had been registered by Horizon Frontiers Database. This made her a very clear anomaly. Though Ivory had just agreed seconds ago to lay low while HQ worked out what to do, that only applied to the list of candidates she was supposed to hunt down before the tournament went south. This woman, on the other hand, was unexpected, and at least deserved observation.

Besides, nothing wrong with working a little overtime, right?

Ivory crept her way to the cyber-armed girl, taking a few brief steps to reach her.

"Honestly the tournament is a bit of a sham. Most of the Nomads gathered here are either rich or famous enough to warrant an invitation. Actual strength or competence of Nomads comes third." She explained, looking at Anna with her ambergreen eyes, "Chances are anyone who actually looks like a decent fighter here is either putting on a show or just came to watch."

Ivory's shilling personally didn't actually reflect her beliefs, the World Warrior Tournament was a prime event for observations and picking new targets to hunt down. Unlike most other fields, if a Nomad was rich or famous enough it could be due to them being a strong fighter to begin with. However she did her best to get close to the cyber-armed woman, just pave the way until she could work the conversation towards her robotic arms.

Amongst the small sea of groans, shouts, and even overtly threatening displays of Ki, Ivory only had a look of annoyance and spite on her hawk-like face. She silently excused herself from the small rabble of disgruntled Nomads & fighting enthusiasts, slowly backing out from the group, which she already stood towards the back of. Once she made certain that she drew no attention to herself, she turned around and left. To even the faintest awareness that she was caught in, she'd probably just look like some diva who pouted off in disappointment. But once she was alone, she rounded the corner into the empty hallway. Making sure nobody around was listening, she pulled her watch close to her face, checking warily that she wasn't being listened into. Yet even then she only mumbled, cautious to every noise she made. Even airport security looked straight over her, assuming her some foreigner tinkering with a broken watch.

"This is Ivory. Change of plans, the Tournament is cancelled. It's already been announced? I see. It'd be foolish to assume it wouldn't already be a world-wide controversy by now." Ivory communicated with the watch, which only let back a series of high beeps and low boops, which Ivory memorized the chart to translate properly in her head.

"In either case, the plan we've worked so hard on is completely out the window, right? Perfect." Ivory sighed to herself, before the watch continued it's beeping. "New Plan? Alright, I'll await further instructions depending on how the situation unfolds. Until then I'll just try to blend in. Roger that."

The watch let out a third sound, a high pitched zip noise. Ivory couldn't help but smile to herself at that.

Just as unhumoring as she left, Ivory strolled back to the crowd silently. For all they knew she just went to use the lady's room. But by then, the WMAF representative ran off in terror at the crowd of the brawlers unrest, going as far as to shove over an innocent news lady--
May Armstrong, Ivory recognized.

So for all intents and purposes compared to the other Nomads, Ivory's actual reaction to the cancellation of the tournament was just her pouting with an annoyed expression.

Rod tried to maintain an ironclad expression to the same news that angered the rest of the crowd of Nomads and wannabe fighters, but any untrained eye could see the frustration and disappointment that boiled beneath his sunglasses. He tried lighting a cigar hoping it would make him look less 'scowly', but all the thirty second drag do was make him look really pissed, especially when he wheezed the smoke back out of his mouth through grit teeth.

Internally, though? Fuck all of this, he thought. He flew all the way out here with actual reason to, unlike the crowd of wannabes that he was forced to fly in with that hadn't actually been invited to the tournament, just to be told "Sorry. That big tournament you spent weeks getting ready for while making merchandise and promo-material isn't actually real. We just wanted to waste your time and money, and because time is money we're really just wasting more money and kicking you right in the nuts. Have fun in a country that You didn't even read about until this morning!~"

But, as he came to understand, not everything had to go to plan. There were still plenty of ways to make a quick buck and make yourself look good doing it. He'd give this place one day to make it worth his time. That's as much time any place needs to make a good impression.

Calvin Redug

---

---

⦋ 21 || Canadian || Male ⦌

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

Calvin is an average-height lad, measuring at about 6"2', weighing at 180lbs. He has combed brown hair, dark blue eyes, and skin with just a tinge of coloration. His hands are just a bit larger than average. No matter where he goes, he bundles up expecting the cold weather of his home, usually wearing a sweater underneath a winter jacket, with a scarf around his neck. He typically wears simple jeans and boots, with brown gloves slipping over his hands.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

-Easy Going
-Lazy
-Simple Thought Process
-Below Average Intelligence
-Loves Food
-Generally likes animals, even if he horribly misidentifies them
-Absurd hatred for walruses

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Calvin is a pure-blooded Canadian, born to an oil miner in the Tundra. Without many other people to socialize with while his father worked, nor an official school to attend, Calvin spent most of his days with his grandfather, a practiced Nomad who explored the coldest regions of the world, but whose son had little interest in learning his ways. Calvin spent his days learning the Walrus-Wrestling style, a fighting style that both specialized in fighting opponents much larger and more vicious than oneself, yet also capitalized itself on manipulation of cold and weathered Ki.
Eventually, Calvin's father decided that Calvin's grandpa was a bad influence on him, and sent him to the city to live with his mother, an office worker in Toronto. Yet the teachings were already set in him, and Calvin continued practicing the Walrus-Wrestling Style. Yet by the time he was 18 and returned to the Tundra for more teaching, he found his grandfather had passed away, without teaching Calvin the rest of the style. Seeking to fulfill his family's legacy (and really having nothing better to do), Calvin set out into the world to become a Nomad himself, traveling the world to master his own power and maybe see some cool places while he's at it.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

Walrus-Wrestling Style

As Calvin's grandfather explored the most barren and hazardous locations in the world, he began to hone his own Ki, adapting to the unforgiving cold and fighting against the most savage creatures. The style places emphasis on being able to overcome much larger and more powerful foes, through a mixture of grapples and powerful palm strikes. Yet it also lets practitioners harness their Ki as it becomes adopted by the freezing locales of the world, manifesting it outward as ice with a variety of uses.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Frost Grip

Calvin grapples his opponent, channeling his Ki into the opponent's body. Being unprepared for extreme temperatures, the opponent will quickly freeze and become covered with ice. However doing so is risky, as it requires him to wrestle them down and spend several seconds channeling his own, icy Ki into their body.

■ Sleet Spray

Calvin extends his Ki outward, covering the floor and surfaces with sleet ice, which both allows Calvin to slide along it as well as cause opponents to slip and stumble. Skateboards are for chumps, anyway.

■ Glacier Barrier

Calvin creates a wall of ice. Given time to construct it he could make it firm and durable, but he can also quickly erect it, creating a brief barrier that can withstand a single attack or two.

■ Ice Snare

Calvin sprays a small puddle of water, Which he can have quickly grow once an opponent steps on it, creating a small beartrap to freeze them in place.

■ Ice Hammer

Calvin covers his entire fist in a big block of ice, turning it into a large club, though it usually shatters in a hit or two.

■ Cold Breath

Calvin spits, yet freezes it with his Ki, creating a chilly mist that can obscure the target's vision.

■ Snowball

Calvin gathers a handful of snow and ice, which he packs together before hurling it at the opponent. Unlike a normal snowball, these projectiles are hard as rocks and could easily chip a tooth.

■ Walrus Slap

A powerful hand slap, capable of knocking a walrus unconscious, as well as giving a minor concussion to any capable Nomad.

SUPER MOVES

■ Avalanche

Calvin sends his Ki outward, allowing him to freeze a massive ball of snow around him, to which he can then roll towards his opponent as an unstoppable ball of death. The longer he takes to prepare, the more mass and speed the boulder will grow.

■ Snap Freeze

Calvin gathers then throws a handful of Ki into the air, then causes it to rapidly freeze the opponent in thick, entrapping ice. This leaves the opponent nearly defenseless for several seconds, until they can either break free or Calvin beats them free.

■ WALRUS PUNCH!

His most powerful technique. Calvin channels all of his Ki into his fist, which he then slams into the opponent. It's namesake comes from his grandfather supposedly being able to launch a Walrus straight into the air by uppercutting them with it, though Calvin has yet to master that level of strength, with only a lifetime ban from hunting in Canada to show for it. As described, the move takes a large amount of power and energy to use, and can easily be avoided by lithe or unbound opponents.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Frankly, Calvin is lazy and uninterested in competition. He's unlikely to give it his all even in the face of defeat, unless he fights for the absolute sake of defending his life. As a vast majority of his techniques are dependent on ice, Any opponent with fire abilities will be practically immune to most of his attacks, putting him at a huge disadvantage.

OTHER

---

-He's resistant to adverse temperatures and weather, as a result of wearing his coat almost wherever he goes and practicing his Ki to adapt to become cold and icy.

-His favorite foods are Spaghetti and Pancakes.

-He's banned from coming anywhere within a mile of a Walrus within the country of Canada.

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

APPEARANCE

Rod has black hair that he always slicks down. He stands at 5"9'. His brown eyes are covered by a pair of sunglasses, that he almost never leaves home without. He typically wears a white suit with gold accessories and a pair of purple pointed shoes, as well as black fingerless gloves that act to make his Ki expressions more precise, by narrowing the point it can leave his hands to just his fingertips. As if his outfit weren't flashy enough, he also wears a fur coat and carries a metal cane, that also acts as a brilliant conductor for his Ki.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

■ Entitled
■ Cocky
■ Sharp-witted
■ Narcissist
■ Arrogant

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Rodney Lyte was born as a kid in the mean streets of Chicago. His mom died shortly after his birth, leaving his Dad to work long days as a programmer. With no parents to watch over him, young Rodney had nobody to protect him. Ever since he was 14, he’s been forced to fight in the streets to survive as a member of a gang.

By the age of 16, his gang fought in a rivals, in which all of his gang members were killed. He, too, would’ve been, if it weren’t for a Nomad to happen by and save his life. Introducing himself as Yi-Wun, he then began to regularly train Rodney in order to protect himself. Four years later, Rod became one of the biggest Nomads on the streets.

Yet the power Rod soon came to master went straight to his head. He was approached with the offers to become a celebrity amongst Nomad culture, fighting every other Nomad in the state and soon the country. But along the way, his old master, Yi-Wun, approached the youth, telling him that he used the power he was taught for his own personal gain. After denying his ex-master’s wisdom, he defeated him in single combat, cementing his devolution from hard-time street kid to an egotistical jackass.

Soon, Rod stretched his competition to the entire globe, fighting Nomads across the world and making his name even bigger, raking in more money, power, and fame than he ever thought was possible.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE - Raptor Assault

Rod is fast, deadly, and creative on the battlefield. His lightning allows him for several solutions to a problem, and grants him both a high mobility and a method of attacking the opponent at a range. He is the best mix of both a Rushdown and Zone fighter.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Lightning Skate

Rod charges up the lightning on the bottom of his shoes. Once he finishes, he skates along the ground towards the opponent. It deals very little damage, but can be very useful for moving towards the opponent in a timely fashion.

■ Blink

By overcharging his body's ki, Rod increases his speed by an overwhelming amount for a little more than an instant. This allows him to move as if he were teleporting a few feet.

■ Electric Club

Rod overcharges his cane with lightning, making an overhead attack with it. It if makes contact with the opponent, it will briefly electrocute them for a few moments, or until they receive their first hit.

■ Finger Gun!

Rod charges all of the Ki into his fingertips, then expels it through a bolt-shaped projectile. Can be used up to three times.

■ Thunder Wave

Rod charges his cane with lightning, then taps it along the ground, sending a small wave of lightning to roll along the ground towards the opponent.

■ Lightning Kick

Rod charges his leg with Lightning, then thrusts it towards the opponent. If it hits them, it will stun them momentarily.

■ Electroball

Rod cups his hand full of Ki, creating a sphere of lightning. He can then hurl it a medium distance away, where it will then hover in mid air. If Rod wills it, he can cause it to burst, erupting into a violent discharge.

■ Magnetise

Rod shoots his opponent with harmless lightning while charging his own body's ki. This pulls both characters closer together.

SUPER MOVES

■ HeartBreaker

Rod charges his entire hand with ki, and then lunges forward a short distance. If he catches the opponent, he overloads their body with his own ki, dealing large damage and momentarily paralyzing them.
However the feedback of the attack is so intense, it momentarily exhausts Rod.

■ Thunder Lance

Rod completely infuses his staff with his ki, then hurls it at the opponent like a spear. it's a fast traveling attack that deals heavy damage, though it has a relatively small size.

■ Dirty Cheater

Rod whips out a phone, calling one of his roadies to drive a car straight into the ring, running over the opponent. A few seconds later, just as they try to get back up, they reverse, crushing them underneath again. Just when they think it’s over, Rod throws the phone over his shoulder, hitting them in the head.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Rod has little defensive maneuvers, leaving him exposed in actual close combat. He also has a strong tendency to overestimate himself or make fatal mistakes due to his own arrogance and stupidity.

Ivory

⦋ 21 || American || Female ⦌

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

Ivory is a long silver-gray haired young woman with amber colored eyes. She's on the tall and lean side, standing at almost 6"1' and weighing 165 lbs. She doesn't have too much muscle mass on her arms, her body appearing more lithe and swift than physically powerful. She's small-framed, compared to other Nomads, even the lighter-set ones. This is largely thanks to her squandering physical power training in favor of practicing dexterity and wits.
Her usual clothing consists of a short-dress with rolled up sleeves, and thigh-highs. She wraps her hair into two strands in front, and a ponytail in the back. She also covers her hands with short black gloves. She also carries a multitude of lesser gadgets and devices on her person, courtesy of Horizon Frontiers. These include a contact lens that can record and transmit video, a grappling hook hidden in her right glove, and a utility belt hidden underneath her dress around her waist.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

■ Observant
■ Focused
■ Disciplined
■ Determined
■ Pragmatic
■ Inferiority-Complex

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Horizon Frontiers is a scientific foundation focused on biology and cybernetics, one of the largest in the world. On the surface they're a philanthropic organization, distributing free healthcare and cybernetics to disadvantaged people across the world, with facilities in practically every major country across the world.
Yet beneath the surface, they carry a much more sinister agenda. Their purpose for studying human condition and genetics, as well as producing cybernetics, is for the purpose of creating the ultimate lifeform, a project they've been aspiring for in the shadows ever since they were founded. The Nomad Society is the obvious focal point of Horizon's research, being paragons amongst humanity capable of tapping into their raw life energy. Yet only so much data can be gathered from an outside perspective, kidnapping and experimenting on them without being able to witness their true capacity. In order to gather true data on Nomads, Horizon needed some of their own.
And so Ivory, originally just the daughter of a high-ranking member of Horizon Frontiers, was thrown into the limelight. Testing showed she had a high potential for Ki, making her an ideal subject. Since the age of 12 the young girl has been raised to become a Nomad, going through relentless training at a young age. Yet while her potential for Ki was great, her physical strength was not. She overcame obstacles given to her with wit and fast-thinking, making her much more of a Pragmatic Fighter than a rank-and-file Nomad. Yet rather than discourage this behavior, Horizon Frontiers encouraged it, equipping her with deadly gadgets for her to use.
By the time she was Ready, Ivory became a bogeyman in Nomad society. Low-ranking, aspiring Nomads would go missing overnight, the only rumor of her existence being a gray-haired woman who escaped every time.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE -- CRESCENT IMP

While Ivory was gifted with an innate potential for Ki, she forgoes her expression of it in blatant, over-the-top feats of strength, instead concentrating on her own wit and alacrity. This makes her exceptionally lithe in battle, and gives her a degree of reflex and control while she turns duels into battles of attrition while she observes her opponent’s combat style and works to both wear them down and adapt to their patterns.
In most battles, Ivory does not fight to win. Even if she were to win, she’d likely inflict harm on herself in the process. Lacking the same overwhelming willpower to succeed that most other Nomads do, she instead concentrates her energy on instead observing the opponent and gathering data, which is recorded on a specially made contact lens.
To compensate her own lack of power, she carries around a handful of gadgets with her, that provide her a degree of ranged control while allowing her to stall and keep her opponents at bay.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Smoke Pellets

Ivory carries with her a string of smoke pellets, which she can use to create confusion and concealment from her opponent.

■ Fan Blade

Ivory usually fights with a fan, which may look harmless but is actually made out of a super-light, razor-sharp material, making it a deadly weapon. She can also throw it like a sharpened boomerang, and is also magnetized to return to her hand. Just in case, she always carries a spare.

■ Anticipation

Using her acute reflexes and analysis, Ivory predicts her opponent’s next attack, giving her an advantage at avoiding it. The more she’s seen.a move be used, the more effectively she can evade it.

■ Hot Iron Strike

Similar to Anticipation, yet rather than disengage or avoid the enemy, she counters their attack, dodging it and then immediately following up with a precise strike while they expose themselves. However this is much harder to pull off than simply evading it.

■ Echo Flashbang

A powerful flashbang device, capable of disorienting an elephant. Those exposed to it find themselves in similar waters, being temporarily stunned. Yet given how powerful it is, Ivory must take care using it, to avoid accidentally hurting herself too.

■ Grappling Hook

A long wire Ivory can shoot from a device in her wrist, letting her cross a long distance quickly. Useful for escaping combat or reaching a vantage point.

■ Grenade

Ivory pops a specialized grenade and chucks it at the opponent, dealing large amounts of damage to them from a distance.

■ Tranquilizer Dart

Ivory shoots a sleep dart at the opponent. While its unlikely to actually knock an opponent out cold, it still mugs them down and reduces their energy.

SUPER MOVES

■ Disengage

Using her analytical skills and alacrity, Ivory immediately attempts to disengage the conflict, creating an escape plan on the spot and following through on it.

■ Spider Pitfall

Ivory sets down a trap, which takes several moments to arm. Once activated, it will immediately lunge at anyone who enters 10 feet of it, unfolding and disassembling to wrap them in an electrified net. The net is extremely hard for a normal person to break out of, but can only incapacitate a Nomad for several seconds. While not particularly destructive, it’s more than capable of ending a fight.

■ Explosive Pellets

Ivory carries a full bag of explosive pellets, which will explode on contact when thrown at an opponent. While just one is a minor annoyance, hurling a dozen at once can be chaotic and disorienting.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

The most glaring weakness of Ivory is her own inability to fight head-on. She prefers to distance herself and draw battles out, until she can understand her opponent enough to almost methodically defeat them. Even if she can’t win the battle this way, retreat is always an option. For these reasons, Ivory just can’t seem to compete against opponents when barriers of distance are removed, or any exits are not an option.
Yet despite her fight, learn, win tactic. Ivory has a deep-rooted inferiority complex. She only has so much dignity and patience for repeated losses before she becomes irritated and deterministic. Regardless of being a person who chooses wits and focus to win a fight, she will become more reckless and deterministic against foes should she be forced into retreating or defeat one too many times.

He was approached with the offers to become a celebrity amongst Nomad culture, fighting every other Nomad in the state and soon the country. But along the way, his old master, Yi-Wun, approached the youth, telling him that he used the power he was taught for his own personal gain. After denying his ex-master’s wisdom, he defeated him in single combat, cementing his devolution from hard-time street kid to an egotistical jackass.

Soon, Rod stretched his competition to the entire globe, fighting Nomads across the world and making his name even bigger, raking in more money, power, and fame than he ever thought was possible.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE - Raptor Assault

Rod is fast, deadly, and creative on the battlefield. His lightning allows him for several solutions to a problem, and grants him both a high mobility and a method of attacking the opponent at a range. He is the best mix of both a Rushdown and Zone fighter.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Lightning Skate

Rod charges up the lightning on the bottom of his shoes. Once he finishes, he skates along the ground towards the opponent. It deals very little damage, but can be very useful for moving towards the opponent in a timely fashion.

■ Blink

By overcharging his body's ki, Rod increases his speed by an overwhelming amount for a little more than an instant. This allows him to move as if he were teleporting a few feet.

■ Electric Club

Rod overcharges his cane with lightning, making an overhead attack with it. It if makes contact with the opponent, it will briefly electrocute them for a few moments, or until they receive their first hit.

■ Finger Gun!

Rod charges all of the Ki into his fingertips, then expels it through a bolt-shaped projectile. Can be used up to three times.

■ Thunder Wave

Rod charges his cane with lightning, then taps it along the ground, sending a small wave of lightning to roll along the ground towards the opponent.

■ Lightning Kick

Rod charges his leg with Lightning, then thrusts it towards the opponent. If it hits them, it will stun them momentarily.

■ Electroball

Rod cups his hand full of Ki, creating a sphere of lightning. He can then hurl it a medium distance away, where it will then hover in mid air. If Rod wills it, he can cause it to burst, erupting into a violent discharge.

■ Magnetise

Rod shoots his opponent with harmless lightning while charging his own body's ki. This pulls both characters closer together.

SUPER MOVES

■ HeartBreaker

Rod charges his entire hand with ki, and then lunges forward a short distance. If he catches the opponent, he overloads their body with his own ki, dealing large damage and momentarily paralyzing them.
However the feedback of the attack is so intense, it momentarily exhausts Rod.

■ Thunder Lance

Rod completely infuses his staff with his ki, then hurls it at the opponent like a spear. it's a fast traveling attack that deals heavy damage, though it has a relatively small size.

■ Dirty Cheater

Rod whips out a phone, calling one of his roadies to drive a car straight into the ring, running over the opponent. A few seconds later, just as they try to get back up, they reverse, crushing them underneath again. Just when they think it’s over, Rod throws the phone over his shoulder, hitting them in the head.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Rod has little defensive maneuvers, leaving him exposed in actual close combat. He also has a strong tendency to overestimate himself or make fatal mistakes due to his own arrogance and stupidity.

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

APPEARANCE

Ivory is a long silver-gray haired young woman with amber colored eyes. She's on the tall and lean side, standing at almost 6"1' and weighing 165 lbs. She doesn't have too much muscle mass on her arms, her body appearing more lithe and swift than physically powerful. She's small-framed, compared to other Nomads, even the lighter-set ones. This is largely thanks to her squandering physical power training in favor of practicing dexterity and wits.
Her usual clothing consists of a short-dress with rolled up sleeves, and thigh-highs. She wraps her hair into two strands in front, and a ponytail in the back. She also covers her hands with short black gloves. She also carries a multitude of lesser gadgets and devices on her person, courtesy of Horizon Frontiers. These include a contact lens that can record and transmit video, a grappling hook hidden in her right glove, and a utility belt hidden underneath her dress around her waist.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

■ Inferiority-Complex

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Horizon Frontiers is a scientific foundation focused on biology and cybernetics, one of the largest in the world. On the surface they're a philanthropic organization, distributing free healthcare and cybernetics to disadvantaged people across the world, with facilities in practically every major country across the world.
Yet beneath the surface, they carry a much more sinister agenda. Their purpose for studying human condition and genetics, as well as producing cybernetics, is for the purpose of creating the ultimate lifeform, a project they've been aspiring for in the shadows ever since they were founded. The Nomad Society is the obvious focal point of Horizon's research, being paragons amongst humanity capable of tapping into their raw life energy. Yet only so much data can be gathered from an outside perspective, kidnapping and experimenting on them without being able to witness their true capacity. In order to gather true data on Nomads, Horizon needed some of their own.
And so Ivory, originally just the daughter of a high-ranking member of Horizon Frontiers, was thrown into the limelight. Testing showed she had a high potential for Ki, making her an ideal subject. Since the age of 12 the young girl has been raised to become a Nomad, going through relentless training at a young age. Yet while her potential for Ki was great, her physical strength was not. She overcame obstacles given to her with wit and fast-thinking, making her much more of a Pragmatic Fighter than a rank-and-file Nomad. Yet rather than discourage this behavior, Horizon Frontiers encouraged it, equipping her with deadly gadgets for her to use.
By the time she was Ready, Ivory became a bogeyman in Nomad society. Low-ranking, aspiring Nomads would go missing overnight, the only rumor of her existence being a gray-haired woman who escaped every time.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE -- CRESCENT IMP

While Ivory was gifted with an innate potential for Ki, she forgoes her expression of it in blatant, over-the-top feats of strength, instead concentrating on her own wit and alacrity. This makes her exceptionally lithe in battle, and gives her a degree of reflex and control while she turns duels into battles of attrition while she observes her opponent’s combat style and works to both wear them down and adapt to their patterns.
In most battles, Ivory does not fight to win. Even if she were to win, she’d likely inflict harm on herself in the process. Lacking the same overwhelming willpower to succeed that most other Nomads do, she instead concentrates her energy on instead observing the opponent and gathering data, which is recorded on a specially made contact lens.
To compensate her own lack of power, she carries around a handful of gadgets with her, that provide her a degree of ranged control while allowing her to stall and keep her opponents at bay.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Smoke Pellets

Ivory carries with her a string of smoke pellets, which she can use to create confusion and concealment from her opponent.

■ Fan Blade

Ivory usually fights with a fan, which may look harmless but is actually made out of a super-light, razor-sharp material, making it a deadly weapon. She can also throw it like a sharpened boomerang, and is also magnetized to return to her hand. Just in case, she always carries a spare.

■ Anticipation

Using her acute reflexes and analysis, Ivory predicts her opponent’s next attack, giving her an advantage at avoiding it. The more she’s seen.a move be used, the more effectively she can evade it.

■ Hot Iron Strike

Similar to Anticipation, yet rather than disengage or avoid the enemy, she counters their attack, dodging it and then immediately following up with a precise strike while they expose themselves. However this is much harder to pull off than simply evading it.

■ Echo Flashbang

A powerful flashbang device, capable of disorienting an elephant. Those exposed to it find themselves in similar waters, being temporarily stunned. Yet given how powerful it is, Ivory must take care using it, to avoid accidentally hurting herself too.

■ Grappling Hook

A long wire Ivory can shoot from a device in her wrist, letting her cross a long distance quickly. Useful for escaping combat or reaching a vantage point.

■ Grenade

Ivory pops a specialized grenade and chucks it at the opponent, dealing large amounts of damage to them from a distance.

■ Tranquilizer Dart

Ivory shoots a sleep dart at the opponent. While its unlikely to actually knock an opponent out cold, it still mugs them down and reduces their energy.

SUPER MOVES

■ Disengage

Using her analytical skills and alacrity, Ivory immediately attempts to disengage the conflict, creating an escape plan on the spot and following through on it.

■ Spider Pitfall

Ivory sets down a trap, which takes several moments to arm. Once activated, it will immediately lunge at anyone who enters 10 feet of it, unfolding and disassembling to wrap them in an electrified net. The net is extremely hard for a normal person to break out of, but can only incapacitate a Nomad for several seconds. While not particularly destructive, it’s more than capable of ending a fight.

■ Explosive Pellets

Ivory carries a full bag of explosive pellets, which will explode on contact when thrown at an opponent. While just one is a minor annoyance, hurling a dozen at once can be chaotic and disorienting.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

The most glaring weakness of Ivory is her own inability to fight head-on. She prefers to distance herself and draw battles out, until she can understand her opponent enough to almost methodically defeat them. Even if she can’t win the battle this way, retreat is always an option. For these reasons, Ivory just can’t seem to compete against opponents when barriers of distance are removed, or any exits are not an option.
Yet despite her fight, learn, win tactic. Ivory has a deep-rooted inferiority complex. She only has so much dignity and patience for repeated losses before she becomes irritated and deterministic. Regardless of being a person who chooses wits and focus to win a fight, she will become more reckless and deterministic against foes should she be forced into retreating or defeat one too many times.

He typically wears a white suit with gold accessories and a pair of purple pointed shoes, as well as black fingerless gloves that act to make his Ki expressions more precise, by narrowing the point it can leave his hands to just his fingertips. As if his outfit weren't flashy enough, he also wears a fur coat and carries a metal cane, that also acts as a brilliant conductor for his Ki.

Rodney Lyte was born as a kid in the mean streets of Chicago. His mom died shortly after his birth, leaving his Dad to work long days as a programmer.

Here's Calvin 1.5, my other chary's will come soon.

Calvin Redug

---

---

⦋ 21 || Canadian || Male ⦌

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

Calvin is an average-height lad, measuring at about 6"2', weighing at 180lbs. He has combed brown hair, dark blue eyes, and skin with just a tinge of coloration. His hands are just a bit larger than average. No matter where he goes, he bundles up expecting the cold weather of his home, usually wearing a sweater underneath a winter jacket, with a scarf around his neck. He typically wears simple jeans and boots, with brown gloves slipping over his hands.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

-Easy Going
-Lazy
-Simple Thought Process
-Below Average Intelligence
-Loves Food
-Generally likes animals, even if he horribly misidentifies them
-Absurd hatred for walruses

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Calvin is a pure-blooded Canadian, born to an oil miner in the Tundra. Without many other people to socialize with while his father worked, nor an official school to attend, Calvin spent most of his days with his grandfather, a practiced Nomad who explored the coldest regions of the world, but whose son had little interest in learning his ways. Calvin spent his days learning the Walrus-Wrestling style, a fighting style that both specialized in fighting opponents much larger and more vicious than oneself, yet also capitalized itself on manipulation of cold and weathered Ki.
Eventually, Calvin's father decided that Calvin's grandpa was a bad influence on him, and sent him to the city to live with his mother, an office worker in Toronto. Yet the teachings were already set in him, and Calvin continued practicing the Walrus-Wrestling Style. Yet by the time he was 18 and returned to the Tundra for more teaching, he found his grandfather had passed away, without teaching Calvin the rest of the style. Seeking to fulfill his family's legacy (and really having nothing better to do), Calvin set out into the world to become a Nomad himself, traveling the world to master his own power and maybe see some cool places while he's at it.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

Walrus-Wrestling Style

As Calvin's grandfather explored the most barren and hazardous locations in the world, he began to hone his own Ki, adapting to the unforgiving cold and fighting against the most savage creatures. The style places emphasis on being able to overcome much larger and more powerful foes, through a mixture of grapples and powerful palm strikes. Yet it also lets practitioners harness their Ki as it becomes adopted by the freezing locales of the world, manifesting it outward as ice with a variety of uses.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Frost Grip

Calvin grapples his opponent, channeling his Ki into the opponent's body. Being unprepared for extreme temperatures, the opponent will quickly freeze and become covered with ice.

■ Sleet Spray

Calvin extends his Ki outward, covering the floor and surfaces with sleet ice, which both allows Calvin to slide along it as well as cause opponents to slip and stumble. Skateboards are for chumps, anyway.

■ Glacier Barrier

Calvin creates a wall of ice. Given time to construct it he could make it firm and durable, but he can also quickly erect it, creating a brief barrier that can withstand a single attack or two.

■ Ice Snare

Calvin sprays a small puddle of water, Which he can have quickly grow once an opponent steps on it, creating a small beartrap to freeze them in place.

■ Ice Hammer

Calvin covers his entire fist in a big block of ice, turning it into a large club, though it usually shatters in a hit or two.

■ Cold Breath

Calvin spits, yet freezes it with his Ki, creating a chilly mist that can obscure the target's vision.

■ Snap Freeze

Calvin throws a handful of Ki, then causes it to rapidly freeze the opponent. The only thing segregating this from a full-blown super-move is it's lack of extravagance.

■ Walrus Slap

A powerful hand slap, capable of knocking a walrus unconscious, as well as giving a minor concussion to any capable Nomad.

SUPER MOVES

■ Snowball

Calvin sends his Ki outward, allowing him to freeze a massive ball of snow around him, to which he can then roll towards his opponent as an unstoppable ball of death. The longer he takes to prepare, the more mass and speed the boulder will grow.

■ Igloo

Calvin grows a small, extremely durable shelter of ice around him. Despite it's frigid conditions, Calvin is able to quickly rest inside, recovering his own vigor and licking his wounds. After at most half a minute, the Igloo explodes outward in a claymore of ice.

■ WALRUS PUNCH!

His most powerful technique. Calvin channels all of his Ki into his fist, which he then slams into the opponent. It's namesake comes from his grandfather supposedly being able to launch a Walrus straight into the air by uppercutting them with it, though Calvin has yet to master that level of strength, with only a lifetime ban from hunting in Canada to show for it. As described, the move takes a large amount of power and energy to use, and can easily be avoided by lithe or unbound opponents.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Frankly, Calvin is lazy and uninterested in competition. He's unlikely to give it his all even in the face of defeat, unless he fights for the absolute sake of defending his life. As a vast majority of his techniques are dependent on ice, Any opponent with fire abilities will be practically immune to most of his attacks, putting him at a huge disadvantage.

OTHER

---

-He's resistant to adverse temperatures and weather, as a result of wearing his coat almost wherever he goes and practicing his Ki to adapt to become cold and icy.

-His favorite foods are Spaghetti and Pancakes.

-He's banned from coming anywhere within a mile of a Walrus within the country of Canada.

All-Verse: The Initiative

Minutes ago, the field was lush and green, almost a tribute to nature's.

Now it was host to more blades of steel than blades of grass.

Ajen lay on the dead earth, his shoulder penetrated by such a spear, binding him to the ground. Overshadowing him was a glowing beacon of a man, surrounded by a divine mandala of solar light that overshadowed the one Ajen tried to create in just presence alone.

"The battle is over" Ketz said coldly, "It was over the second you challenged me again, and it was over the second you challenged me the first time. It's not even a yearly occasion that I extend mercy to a challenger twice. My part in this fight is now beyond your ken. Your battle is with the reaper, now, boy."

He began to turn around, his form transitioning from divine power to mortal fleh, giving reprieve of blinding light to the challenger. But Ajen would have none of that.

"I'll atleast extend notice to the village. If you don't move you may have enough energy to sur--" Ketz felt something hit the back of his neck. Something wet, yet warm. Spit.

He turned around. Despite being impaled through the shoulder with a spear, stabbed six times in his abdomen, as well as whatever other countless bruises and scrapes Ketz inflicted on him, Ajen only had a shit eating grin, which quickly turned into a scowl. Wielding his spear with one hand, it's tip glew, until it fired a single projectile at Ketz, whiffing him entirely.

Honestly, Ketz thought, the only thing remotely challenging about that whelp was his own arrogance.

"You just wasted what could have been the last of your Aether, boy. How about for once in your life you don't embarass--"

Ajen spat again, this time hitting Ketz right in the cheek. The Solar Avatar closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He pointed a single finger out towards his dying opponent. In the distance, the sun seemed to "hiccup" for a brief moment, before a ray of pure solar energy shot from it, and flew straight down to Ajen's position, obliterating his entire being, his entire physical form being burned to nothingness.

When the attack ended, all that was present of the challenger was nothing but horridly charred earth. Good, now that the insufferable knave was gone. For good.

---

---

Ajen found himself surrounded by blinding light. Not golden, exalted light of the sun, but white and sterile. His vision was too clouded blurred as he lay on the ground. But then, he felt a healing sensation come over him. His wounds were sealed shut, cuts and bruises healed, even his mind was liberated of the shock and disorientation.

By the time he was able to put his feet under his ass, he found himself surrounded by several other men and women, in a massive plain white room. At the front of the crowd stood an incredibly pale woman, who continued speaking whatever speech she was on while Ajen had his brain still tossed around.

"ask any and all questions now before we proceed." Was the only part he made sense of.

"Yeah! I do!" Ajen loudly proclaimed, raising his hand before she even finished her sentence, "Could you explain all that again really quick?"

The phone rung a full round. Then a second one, and then half of a third one before Alena gave in and answered.

"Yeah? Who is this?" She asked, still half asleep, slapping around her nightstand for her glasses.

"Alena, it's Jeffrey. Have you gotten your hands on the Isca Daila yet?" The phone buzzed.

"Yeah, just last month." The shaman replied to her former mentor. She clenched the phone on her neck as she walked to the nearby dresser, pulling open the bottom drawer-- All the way out, setting it on the ground. She then reached into the hollow space, pulling out a purple tome.

"You're sure it's the real deal? Not a reprint?" Jeffrey asked her.

"Yep, the original." Alena remarked, blowing a cloud of dust from the inside. The pages inside were filled with incomprehensible sigils and ritual circles.

"Alright, that's good. Would you mind if I borrowed it for a few days?"

"Sure," Alena shrugged her free shoulder, "If you can actually read it. I've tried translating it for like a week and I haven't figured out a word."

"That's no problem. We just need the book itself. We'll come pick it up in the morning."

"What's so important about it?" Alena asked, curious.

"It's complicated... You see--"

Just then, Alena disappeared from her empty bedroom in a blue burst of light.

"Alena? Hello?" Jeffrey continued, after the phone hit the ground.

---

---

Bright light blinded Alena, prompting her to raise a hand and cover her face. Her eyes soon adjusted, and found herself in a large, white room, standing in a crowd next to a wide gallery of strange characters-- Humans of all races and sizes, Some... Inhuman entities? Some sort of advanced Spirits, probably? Then a pale, almost robotic woman stood at a podium, filling them in on what sounded like a cry for a slap on the back of the head. Multiverse was out of balance, and now they were plucked out to become some super-crime-stopping squad? Eh.

On one hand, the lady, Praxis, the machine introduced herself, made it clear that she wasn't being conscripted, and would be allowed to be sent back home. On the other, assuming this wasn't just a crazy dream, it was a prime opportunity to understand countless other worlds beyond her own. Wonder how much buck that would be worth once she went back home. Either way, Jeffrey knew she had a spare key under the front mat.

All-Verse: The Initiative

Character Numero Dos.

Alena Tsum

"Hey."

[ALENA ⫻ SPIRITVERSE ⫻ 19 ⫻ TRUE NEUTRAL]

▼ APPEARANCE ▼

"Jeez, who died?"

Alena stands at 6"1', weighing about 150 lbs. Asian-American, she has natural black blunt bangs, though chooses to dye them purple. Her eyes are a reddish orange, caused by spiritual mutation. Her frame is thin and small, and her skin is pale, giving the telltale sign that she's a shut-in.
Alena almost never dresses to impress. Most of her shirts are two-sizes too big, which she buries even more underneath a sweatshirt, which she decorates with charm pins. Usually she prefers to wear either a skirt or shorts, which her shirt usually drapes over anyway. On her legs she wears a sneakers, plus a single thigh-high on one leg. She also wears glasses and has several little talismans such as a hairclip, headband, or necklace, which provide little bonuses to her magic.

▼ PERSONALITY ▼

"Well this sure isn't Kansas anymore."

It wouldn't be an insult to say Alena has the mannerisms of a cat. She's extremely unexpressive, and maintains the same monotone and tired voice in almost any situation. She's poor at communication, and spends almost all her time by herself. She's almost perpetually deprived of energy, wearing the same clothes for days on end and hardly making exceptions to social gatherings. She also has insomnia, which only worsens her already sour demeanor.
On the other hand, she's incredibly focused. She's dedicated to her work, and while not happily, she'll certainly try to provide any information or assistance to a task, so long as it doesn't imperil her and actually demands attention.

▼ BACKSTORY ▼

---

---

"It all started when my mom tried to summon a demon in College. Well, 'tried' isn't quite the right word... Come to think of it neither is demon."

When Alena's mother was in College, she joined a sorority, where part of the initiation ritual was to try and summon a demon. At first, She thought it was just a dumb prank or symbolic ritual. How wrong she was. The ritual worked. It summoned forth a Spirit, which she had to make a bargain with in order to complete her initiation. The spirit offered the bargain of "Five Dollips of Silver, in exchange for the Fate of your firstspawn." Terrified and wanting to get the ritual over with, Alena's mother accepted quickly, receiving five a vial of liquid silver, though whatever price she had to pay would not come until long after.
The consequence of the bargain made Alena a Shaman, a human with spiritual abilities, by prospect of birth. She only became aware of her own abilities after she kicked a can, causing it to skyrocket and dent a stop sign. For the first few months she knew of her abilities, she only used it for petty crimes, such as robbing snacks from convenience stores or cheating. It's only after Jeffrey Harold, a local Shaman, caught her did she begin to learn the truth of the Spirit World as well as train her own abilities. He also took Alena as her apprentice, helping him protect their town from rogue Spirits, along with few other Shaman.
By the age of 19, she's become a sort of mission control figure, collecting and keeping tabs on information while trading with other occultists. That is, until she was plucked away by Praxis as a champion to balance the multiverse.

▼ ABILITIES & EQUIPMENT ▼

"Try not to make me think on this too hard, pal."

Shamanic Perception - Alena has the ability to perceive Spirits, including both incorporeal Spirits as if they were real, as well as if an object is an Effigy or if a person is a Host. It also enables her to communicate with them, understanding their language and being able to speak it right back.

Iron Willpower - Alena has a talent for keeping cool under pressure. This makes it easier for her to remain focused in stressful situations, while also providing her with a resistance to fear and persuasion.

Spirit Magic - As a Shaman, Alena is able to manipulate her Soul, a latent reservoir of Spiritual energy. This enables her to perform fantastic feats that Spirits are capable of, known as Gifts. Yet the energy of her soul is finite, and using her Soul to power Gifts is akin to using your muscles to perform athletics. If she uses Gifts too much in a short span of time, it will strain and potentially even damage her soul. Yet just as muscles tear themselves and become stronger, continuously using Gifts makes them easier to use, as well as make them more effective.
Her specific "arsenal" of Gifts is rather straight forward, mimicking simple effects such as barriers of force or firing projectiles from her fingers. While compared to other Shamans this is less impressive or forceful, it allows her to converse her energy while accomplishing simple effects.

Catch - A simple Spirit Gift. Alena simply opens her palm, which erects a barrier of force, allowing her to resist any incoming attacks. The barrier itself is rather large, able of completely shielding her from a single direction. Resisting incoming forces requires spirit energy depending on the magnitude of the attack. So while bullets and punches can be easily deflected, tank rounds will require demanding effort to resist.

Missile - Alena shoots a single projectile, roughly akin to a bullet, from her fingertip. Each one is small and requires very little energy, but firing too many will gradually exhaust her. She can also choose to create bigger, more deadly projectiles, which cost more effort the more force she puts into it.

Fire Bomb - Alena cups a ball of spirit magic into her hand, which she can then hurl like a baseball, and will then explode like a grenade. However much energy she conserves into an attack determines how powerful it is, yet requires constant concentration to prevent from blowing up on her, which will only exhaust her even more. The more forceful a Bomb, the more concentration it takes to keep intact.

Mend - Alena channels energy into her fingertips, which will accelerate metabolism and regenerate dead cells. This allows her to heal allies with a physical touch. However this ability is not frequently used, making it more first-aid than a panacea. She can only heal surface wounds and fractured bones. If she pushes herself, she can maybe heal a broken bone or ruptured organ. If anything, it's still useful for patching herself up.

▼ LIMITS-WEAKNESSES ▼

"Oof, ow, my soul."

Spiritual Exhaustion - As Alena uses her abilities, it puts a strain on her soul, just as exercize strains the body or problem solving strains the mind. While her abilities have a range of effects depending on how much energy she exerts, doing so too much will strain her soul, causing Spiritual Exhaustion. Spiritual Exhaustion occurs when a Shaman's entire being is pushed to it's limit, making them more susceptible to supernatural effects. If Alena pushes to her absolute brink, she will permanently damage her soul, reducing her ability to use Spirit Magic effectively.

Poor Social Skills - Alena just has an issue communicating with others and conveying emotions, possibly from communicating with Spirits for too long. It's hard for her to make a lasting impression on others, and makes her have almost robotic manners.
