Alina

"Which is the lie; the mask or my face?"

---

Essentials

Full Name: Alina Lilly Bloomfield

Nickname(s): Red, Lilly

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Birthday: 21/11

Affiliation: Fenixtear, the guild mark can be found on her left shoulder blade and is a dark red color

Equipment: A bag of holding to contain her various outfits, wigs and make-up kits as well as any other misc item she might want to carry. Also to store a jar of dirt for when she needs to pretend to be a farmer, or possibly pirate captain.

She also goes nowhere without a trusty dagger hidden somewhere on her person

---

---

Personal

Personality: Alina is, at heart, a true actress. A perfectionist that leaves no stone unturned in her preparation for whatever 'role' she must play for a job, that attitude to her work being the same whether it be through gathering information or simply making sure she has exactly the right amount of dirt on her to pretend to be a farmer.

While to most, Alina comes off as a kind, gentle soul, this is simply her favorite act to play. As any who knows her personally will attest to, however, she is a manipulative, often heartless individual with a lack of sympathy or empathy for others as she toys with, uses, and then abandons others at the drop of a hat. She views others as simply nothing more than a tool to advance her agenda, not afraid to resort to any dirty trick or deed to get the job at hand done.

Perhaps as a side effect of pretending to be so many people, but when all is said and done, even if one were to uncover the truth behind Alina, one would struggle to discern what is real or fake about the girl, the truth buried beneath her plethora of personalities, traits, and acts. Not even Alina seems to be aware of which persona within her is the real one. Does she simply do this because it's all she's ever known? Or because she wishes to? Does this make her happy, or does she only think it does because that's what she was raised to think? The girl wouldn't be able to answer.

The one thing she does know for certain is that she wishes to forge her own path forward, to break free of her parent's ever-looming shadow, and to become her own person.

Strengths:
Oscar Winner: With a natural talent for acting befitting her magic, she seems to swing into various personas and acting seemingly with ease. The more she knows about her 'role', the more seamless the transition.

An Eye For Small Detail: It doesn't matter how minor detail about a person it may be if she deems the person to be of some use she'll remember every gray hair tucked behind their right ear if she must.

Reconnaissance Queen: Combined with her acting, magic, and ability to manipulate, as well as her habit of scrounging up every last bit of information from everyone even the old lady down the lane, she is one of if not the most efficient information gathers in the guild

Not Just A Pretty Face: Alina knows her stuff, doing extensive reading on all sorts of matters and subjects let it be math or various magic so that she can pull off her act as close to perfect as possible

Weaknesses:
Apathetic: Despite her seeming mastery over the range of human emotions, she is unable to empathize with anyone which can lead to rifts between her and others.

Talentless Fighter: While she is no mug in a fight, she tends to be outclassed rather quickly whenever magic becomes involved due to the more niche nature of her magic.

Curiosity Killed the Cat: She has gotten herself in over her head many a time and as such has a habit of needing bailing out or rescue, much to the ire of any potential teammate.

Too Into Character: She does anything to stay in character and not break the immersion, meaning she’ll do anything that the ‘role’ would do even if she sees no benefit in it.

Backstory:
While Alina surrounds herself with many stories, lies, and rumors as to her exact origins, with enough digging one would find that Alina is....no one. She seems to have no family history, at least any linked to her name, nor any prior records of actually existing pre-Fenixtear. Any attempts to get her to personally spill the beans is often met with the changing of subjects.

However if one were to gleam her origins, they would find out that she was indeed once a member of a somewhat well-known guild, known as God Hand, that specialized in some rather...unsavoury activities. Her parents were founding members and often were employed as spies, assassins, or the sort. As such, she was raised to be the perfect combination of all the above, receiving only the best tutoring that money could afford.

With her family being well off from the rather well-paying jobs they often undertook, she often got anything she asked for from her parents, living a spoilt life if not for the constant, rigorous training and studying she undertook. Eventually, however, she grew sick of living under her parent's thumb; constantly stuck in their shadow, compared to them whenever she made any minor or major achievement.

So as any good rebellious 16-year-old girl would do at the time, she quit the guild and ran away from home to forge a reputation and path that she could call her own. One that would surpass her parents, and the guild as a whole. She would use the skills she had learned to get by in the world, there was always a goodie two shoes or two she could sucker into letting her stay for the night or offer her a meal. Then much like a parasite, she would leech them of anything of worth and disappear into the night once more.

As such, she didn’t stay in one place for too long, as unsurprisingly she made a fair few enemies along the way, some more intent on payback than others. And even if they weren’t, there was always that possibility.

Eventually, one day while she was playing the part of a waitress at an inn, she overheard some interesting information. A new guild had opened in the area, and with it, an opportunity arose. She had missed the security a guild could offer, but was too stubborn to return home. She was also concerned her parents would find her if she ever went to a mainstream guild, however a guild almost no one had heard of and was a complete nobody? Perfect, especially if she could get them under her thumb.

Already devious machinations began to form in her mind, endless possibilities. And thus, once more under the cover of night, she would steal away to fill her ambitions.

---

Magic

Imitation-B Rank
An imitation can never replace the original...can it?

Much like the name implies, Imitation is caster-type magic that...well, imitates other people. Upon a prolonged touch, Alina can copy the form and magic, to an extent, of others. She is unable to copy other's memories/experiences, personalities, or the like, and instead leaves most of that up to her research, talent, and guesswork. She is also limited to humans at this point.

She can copy a person physically down to every last fiber of their being, and while she gains access to their magic, it is an inferior version and the gulf is more noticeable the stronger the individual she pretends to be in comparison to herself.

This doesn't include any items a person may have had on them, whether it be a magical item or simply the clothes they were wearing.

Other

- If one is lucky enough to find her hiding place, she can be found practicing her various roles or even some more famous roles from plays

-While in a fight with other mages she will easily be overwhelmed, Alina is dangerous in close quarters. Especially so when underestimated or with the element of surprise

-Alina has a fondness for cats and fluffy things in general

@j8cob Can I join that wait-list queue?

Mahoukyo: A Tale of Three

@Kestrel@Anakin@Killy

"Aware? That's giving them too much credit." Hector's fired back through the channel, giving his desert eagle a last look over. "They're far too simple-minded of creatures. Do they know we're here? Of course, but to say they're 'aware' of us is entirely different. They're attracted to Soul and nothing more." He didn't mean for it to sound like a lecture, probably, but it ended up coming out as one. But the monsters found within Zero Time were nothing more than beasts with little sign of remote intelligence. They seemed to swarm and attack, but with no tactics or seemingly an ability to learn or adapt to be found so long as one wasn't outnumbered too severely, they were more a hassle than a real threat. Well, occasionally there were cases of exceptionally strong monsters...but strength didn't equate to intelligence.

However, as if the monster before him and Takuto had heard his comments, what seemed to be ears stood up and twitched a few times. The sight caused Hector to frown slightly before quickly leveling the handgun at the beast and began unloading a few shots into the back of it's head before it noticed them, the creature staggering forward, a strange, softly glowing liquid oozing out from the wounds. But the creature seemed more annoyed than badly hurt as it turned around and snarled at the duo.

It was then that Enishi and Maya's comments came through as the frown on Hector's face deepened. Had he miscalculated by splitting his forces? The larger creature seemed more dangerous than originally anticipated. His group would have to-

It was then that the ground suddenly shook, and violently at that. While the creature was knocked to the ground by the sudden quaking, Hector managed to grab onto the wall to keep his footing, hoping that Takuto would do the same as a blood-chilling roar echoed throughout the otherwise empty city streets. It felt like the air had around them had lost all warmth, Hector could feel his senses becoming number. He could barely feel the gun in his hand by the time a second roar, a more pain-filled one followed some more shaking. Was this the large creatures doing? What on blazes was going on here?!

---

The creature seemed rather annoyed as chains attempted to wrap around it and halt it's progress, unleashing a roar that chilled anyone who heard it to the core. As if all the warmth in the world had been drained away, and to make matters worse was that the chains that Enishi created shattered from the sheer pressure the roar created.

Something like static could be felt between the telepathic link after the roar. The smaller creatures buzzing around the larger one, as if agitated by Maya's and Kizuna's attacks, went to engage the girls but a sudden force slammed them down into the ground, crushing them like bugs against a windscreen.

A sudden flash of light was soon followed by another roar, this one while having the same chilling effect, was however also filled with pain as a gash appeared on its face. A sudden heavy presence soon seemed to envelop the creature, bringing it to its knees as Cassius came into view on the street. Another flash of light, another painful roar as Cassius kept the creature pinned-or so it seemed as it glowed again. The crushed monsters seemed to be enveloped into the creature as it glowed, the two gashes healing over as it once more swelled in size, visible effort on Cassius's face as he tried to kept the enlarged creature in place.

It was taking him everything he had to keep it pinned...and even now it was beginning to break loose once more. So who was attacking it then? Another flash of movement meant that the attacker had once more attacked from the east of the creature's position, slashing the creature across its face once more before also vanishing to the side at speeds almost too fast to catch with the human eye.

---

For Jane, while the first roar chilled her to the core, what was perhaps more chilling was that the creature behind her twitched. After the second roar, all the damage she had inflicted upon it seemed to be slowly healing, it's severed wings seeming to start to slowly sitch themselves back together.

Suffice to say, she might want to leave before it finished regenerating. Or maybe blast it a few more times to keep it down longer to go help her teammates, who she now seemed cut off from as the same static sensation could be felt if she tried to contact anyone on the telepathic link. Phones also seemed down.

@Shard@Jangel13@AdmrlStalfos19@Not Fungus

The shaking only seemed to worsen as a bone-chilling roar filled the air around them, the color draining from the Rikimaru girl's face as she looked in the direction where a soft glowing could be seen in the distance.....wasn't that getting closer to their location? A building slowly seemed to be falling away in the distance as another roar, one filled with pain, brought Whina to cover her ears as the image brought up by her sphere seemed to crack and pixelated, before fading away into nothingness much to the girl's disbelief.

It was almost like...no way. That wasn't possible, right?!

"Ok, ok...change of plans." Shaking her head, as if it was the physical cue to bring herself back to reality and regain some form of composure. "Uh, I may have neglected to mention that there is a larger monster during this particular Zero Time. It was in Akechi territory so I thought it best not to go near it...but it seems to be heading our way anyway." Resigned to their situation, she reluctantly began to divulge the information she had tried her best to hide but had obviously been doing so earlier.

"Artemis, can you get up high to try and gauge the situation? Use this flare to signal which direction the beast is, or if you're in need of assistance, as it seems like any other form of communication is um....down." She looked glumly down at her phone screen. Her signal was absolutely scrambled here.

"From there, uh just try to shoot it I guess? I don't know enough about it to know how effective it would be, but I'm sure you can find a weak spot to target. Or at least some support fire. Otherwise, we'll head towards the...uh glowing over there? It seems to be where the roaring is originating from. We'll need some more information before we can actually make more of a plan of action, so it's best if we see it with our own two ey-ah!" The sudden crashing of thunder above them caught the girl unawares as the heavens seemed to open up without warning, soon falling heavily around all those in Zero Time. It would be best to move as fast as possible now that even the weather seemed to be working against them.

@Bartimaeus@Polaris North

One had barely blinked before Dieter's fist connected heavily with one of the monsters faces, the sheer impact sending the creature flying several meters back before he unloaded a series of weaker, but much faster, punches into the other one, a rather vicious kick aimed at its chest causing a loud and painful cracking noise to fill the air. But neither attacks were enough to fell either creature, much to Dieter's enjoyment as he rained another volley of blows on the creatures, giving them no time to breathe between his assaults.

If the plans laid out by Dieter amused Maylis, then the fact that she just saw a Rhino slam into a Zero Time monster...well, that certainly was brought out a chuckle or two from the older woman. Even if it seemed to push back against Rena before she turned to charge again, the creature also charged in return, the impact of the two crashings together causing the ground to crack around of them. If Rin wasn't quick to help his sister, however, the second monster on the right would slam into her side as it seemed to come to it's 'allies' aid. If he interfered, then it would simply look to target him.

Maylis watched on as Dieter was about to wrap up his two monsters rather quickly, though the others seemed to be having difficulties. No matter, she was sure they could-

Maylis seemed frozen to the spot as a chilling roar seemed to shake the very ground around of them, the color draining from her face as Dieter also seemed to freeze up for a moment. The roar seemed to produce a rather chilling effect on those who heard it, even Maylis herself felt like the air had suddenly dropped to sub-zero upon hearing it. But more than that...a fear seemed to creep across her face as she seemed frozen for an entirely different reason.

"Maylis!" Dieter also seemed slightly off from the roar, his blows against the creatures much softer, though that was more him trying to fight while under the chilling effect more than what Maylis seemed to be immobilized by. But he also seemed more desperate now to finish off these creatures as another roar filled the air, bringing Maylis to her knees and cover her ears.

"Out of the way! I'm coming Maylis!" Swatting one of his monsters to the side, Dieter turned to rush over to Maylis when another two monsters seemed to drop down from the building above them, barring Dieter from going to Maylis and also surrounding him. This was somewhat concerning...but surely the monsters hadn't planned this, right?

As if empowered by the roars, the monster Rena was fighting seemed to be stronger as it reached under her, lifted her up above its head, and hurled her at Nass.

I apologize for my absence, just been busy with the ongoing situation :\

Mahoukyo: A Tale of Three

@Kestrel[@Indra]@Killy

The older man tapped his chin as information trickled in from Jana's exploits. So the soul vein to the south was certainly the go, but with the group he had assigned himself, admittedly somewhat hastily, it would mean that head-on battles were certainly a no go. While Takuto's magic would fare particularly well, and Jana had some combat capabilities, their leader, on the other hand, had very limited combat prowess. He would have to rely entirely on his gun.

So that meant they would have to stick to the back alleys then. But even that posed some serious issues. If they were to be attacked, then close confines and Takuto's magic could prove troublesome. Gah, where was that imbecile when he needed her?

One deep inhale followed by an exaggerated sigh later, and Hector had made up his mind.

It was time to head outback it would seem.

Gesturing for Takuto to follow him, the duo weaved their way through a series of maze-like alleys. Despite their seemingly troublesome navigation, Hector seemed to be leading Takuto through them at a rapid pace without making a single wrong turn. He had already memorized all the potential routes, whether they be on the main roads or the hidden ones, while he had waited for his squad. He was a man that despised surprises and was a meticulous planner.

He was definitely the type to pack two weeks' worth of crap for a two-day trip.

Only once they had been traveling for roughly seven minutes did he finally stop, raising his hand and gesturing to Takuto to be silent. About five meters ahead of them was a hulking creature that was roughly 7 feet tall, which seemed to be like a fly, with octopus tentacles and tiny wings which seemed several sizes too small. There was no way around it, they would need to fight. However, it hadn't seemed to notice them at all yet...

Meanwhile, in the air, the situation was changing rather rapidly. Clouds seemed to be gathering at a rapid rate in the air the dark city. The breeze was starting to pick up, becoming stronger as the thick scent of moisture soon filled the girl's nostrils. A storm was settling in, becoming worse and worse at a startling rate as if it too was affected by the distortions. Just as the thoughts of landing would appear in Jana's mind, a creature, if one could even call this monstrosity that, swooped down from above at her.

It was a strange combination of a disfigured blob of living flesh, with five massive eagle wings, 4 stumps that looked to be arms that ended in blades of bone and looks that not even a mother would wish to be alive and viewed by others. All in all? A typical looking Zero Time monstrosity coming to attack the mage. It even went to waste its chances of a surprise attack, an unintelligible scream coming from its mouth, which by the way was located on the side of its head.

---

Cassius looked down at the Enishi, his features unchanged from his scowl as the girl seemed to be swearing fealty to him. "I won't require the services of a mere vassal." Cassius almost instantly dismissed the girl with a wave of his hand. As amusing as this was to him, was this really the time and place? They had a job to do, and he a point to prove. Besides, he was only a branch family member. As much as it pained for him to admit, he wasn't really in the position to take a vassal like an Enishi. They served the main family after all.

"Issumachi? Tch. That means it's heading towards Rikimaru territory." There must be a soul vein in Rikimaru territory attracting the monster. But wouldn't it be heading towards the far closer one to the south? This entire situation was a little bizarre in itself.

"Girl, make yourself useful. Circle round in front of it and stop it from proceeding." Indicting to Kizuna, Cassius frowned, thinking for a moment. Unlike the other two, he would have to travel by foot so he would be the last to the scene. All he would need is to hope the two proved useful enough to stall the creature till he arrived.

The closer Maya got to the massive glowing creature, the more distorted things seemed to become. Even just random buildings and street signs were warped out of shape, some pixelated to the point where no one would be able to guess what it may have once been. But perhaps more importantly, the more monsters seemed to be gathering around this glowing pixelated mass. By now, there was at least half a dozen buzzing over the top of its head as it crashed through a hotel, knocking the large, forty story building to the side as if it was from a Kaiju movie. Had it always been this big? No...now that she was this close, she could see the throbbing vein on what one could only assume was the beasts back. With every throb, the glowing seemed to intensify and the creature swelled in size.

---

@Shard@Jangel13@AdmrlStalfos19@Not Fungus

"Hahaha..ha...it's fine. Really Elliot." The strained smile and the fact she was stuffing the report into her leather purse in a panicked rush certainly said otherwise. She seriously would be terrible at poker, or anything of the sort. At least everyone would know when she was lying or not.

Relieved that no-one else really seemed to be questioning it too much, besides a comment here or there, the group was soon on the move. After meeting with Artemis, Whina would shortly thereafter hold up the pouch from her pocket. The little blue, gemstone-like rock on the end soon began to glow brightly as a similar sensation soon pulled at them.

Whina seemed to grimace, the girl feeling sick to her stomach. Honestly, it felt like she was aboard a small fishing boat in the eye of a storm. She went a little pale as she almost threw up her dinner, but luckily the sensation soon faded before such an event could occur. Entering Zero Time had never agreed with her no matter how many times she entered. Thankfully, it was just the equivalent of really bad motion sickness....but still, it was an unpleasant inconvenience.

Saori as well would feel a little worse for wear, a similar or worse sensation washing over the older woman.

As the group got their bearings after entering Zero Time, Whina, in particular, taking a few moments to settle herself before hastily pulling out a small orb from her purse. Fumbling, the girl nearly dropped the delicate machine about four times before finally getting a grip and pressing a small green button on the side.

A detailed layout of their surroundings appeared as a hologram projected above the sphere, with several pulsing dots, amongst several other smaller flashing white dots. Each white dot was moving one way or the other, some in clumps of ten or more or others by themselves. The sphere seemed to be showing them the layout and location of monsters in an immediate 3km radius from where they were.

"Um...so this here is the one we need to capture first." Taking a moment to look over the mini-map she had pulled out, she pointed to a pulsing dot to their south. It seemed to be located in the middle of a residential sector. A park to be specific. Whina remembered many a time as a young child visiting that park...though now wasn't the time to reminiscent.

Though as the group could see, it was surrounded by around roughly five to ten flashing dots. It was hard to tell as some seemed to be overlapping one another. With the group they had, such a number should be easy so long as they weren't overly strong Zero Time monsters.

At that thought, a loud shrill escaped Whina as the entire area around the group shook violently, knocking the younger girl flat on her butt in her attempts to not drop the valuable machine in her hands. She seemed beyond startled and surprised, hugging the sphere close to her chest as she quickly looked around as if to try and spot the source of the shaking.

Was it Zero Time's unstable state causing this? Or...something else entirely?

---

@Bartimaeus@Polaris North

With no one seeming to have any objections, Maylis, Dieter, Nass, Rena and Rin made their way out of the room, leaving Alister by himself. As they walked, Dieter reached into his pocket and slipped on some rather ordinary-looking gloves...well except for the magic stones that lined the knuckles. Even Maylis was unclipping the sheathed sword from her hip, though she made no move to draw the katana, instead opting to tap the gemstones embedded in the handle. They were arranged in a particular pattern, each of the seven gemstones a different color. Every time she tapped a stone, it felt like a pulse of magic washed over the group.

In particular, this might annoy or make the two shapeshifters of their little group a little more uncomfortable, but Maylis was doing this with a purpose in mind. Once they reached outside, the stones she had been tapping were shining brightly even as the first drops of rain started to fall around the group.

"Once we're inside Zero Time, no one leaves my sight. Understand?" Maylis' tone was like a mother talking to naughty children as the air around them began to shimmer, the stones glow intensifying. "Besides that, enjoy yourselves and look after one another. I'll only look to interfere if necessary." With a smile, each of them felt a powerful pull on them. It seemed to almost be in every direction, yet no direction at the same time.

While Maylis seemed particularly unfazed, Dieter seemed a little under the weather for a few moments before shaking off the effects as they almost seemed to be dropped without ever leaving the group back into a far darker version of their previous location. Almost immediately, the loud crash of thunder overhead could be head as heavy drops began to fall around them. A powerful, chill-inducing breeze cut through anyone not prepared for its sudden coldness as the weather seemed to become ten times worse in the blink of an eye.

No doubt, they had entered Zero Time.

They weren't even given a moment to take in their changed surroundings before Maylis threw her hands up, a blueish sphere quickly enveloping the group before a group of five monsters crashed around of them, slamming against the barrier that she held up effortlessly as she turned to Dieter, looking at the team leader before the man nodded.

"Ok, so Maylis will lower the barrier in about twenty seconds so listen up." The man was already tugging at the ends of his gloves as the stones began to softly glow. "As soon as she does, those monsters will gun straight for her. I'll take the two in front, Rena and Rin take the two on the right side, Nass you take the one from behind. Don't let them even get remotely close is the objective." Crashing his two fists together, Dieter's mood seemed to switch rather drastically. He was always a serious individual, but now he seemed more determined than serious.

"Hell, whoever finishes their monster first I'll treat tonight once we're done ok?" A motivation always proved useful no matter the circumstances, so Dieter hoped that would do the trick for the duo that seemed a little more...cautious about the others. They were a team, after all, a little bit of bonding wouldn't hurt!

As he finished talking, a smile crept across Maylis's features and once the others had gotten into position, she allowed the monsters to smash through and charge towards them. As Dieter had stated, they seemed to be charging straight for Maylis. It was to be somewhat expected if anyone knew anything about these monsters, to them, people like Maylis were like a massive flame luring in moths, or this case monsters.

@OwO

As the resident shut-in traveled to her nearby convenience store, heavy rainfall seemed to be setting in, the rumbling of thunder overhead signs of what could be in store for later tonight. Luckily it was only a short walk to her designation, but without an umbrella, she would certainly be soaked to the bone before she could reach the location. On her way there, she would pass an alley blocked off by a police car, lights flashing as an officer was tapping off the area, another in the car talking into the radio and shaking his head. Obviously, nothing good had happened or was happening here, but that was hardly her concern or care.

Even if she tried talking to them, the police would just shoo her away after all. They were busy and had no time for annoying passers-by.

Rounding the next corner and she would, at last, find her desired location, the local Seven/Ate/Nine. Once within, a respite from the storm that was beginning to settle in on the city. She wouldn't be the only one inside, though most seemed to be sheltering from the rain, a few customers milled about despite the weather.

Soon after she entered, another person followed suit. They were in a dark cloak, though one could easily see the small frame and stature of the person beneath as it had been belted by rain. Once inside, small, pale hands, presumably from the cold weather outside, reached up as the individual in question removed their hood, shaking loose some damp, light pink-colored hair.

Despite having traveled in that weather, a soft smile graced her doll-like features, the young girl heading straight for the coffee dispenser for a hot drink. The girl was oddly exceptionally familiar, though it was just as tough to place a name to the girl's face. Slotting a few coins in and placing one of the many disposable cups under the dispenser, she rubbed her hands together as she awaited the warm, brown liquid that spewed forth.

Though it wasn't the rich aroma of coffee that followed, but rather the sweet scent of hot chocolate.

@HereComesTheSnow@Caasicam@Krayzikk@PaulHaynek@Crimson Paladin@Heartfillia

While Jane seemed aghast at the prospect of their little group more than doubling in size, Maribel's smile only seemed to grow across the young paladin's features. How fortunate indeed! They had been looking for at least one more person to fill in their little ranged fighting issue...and while they still lacked a formidable Wand, or any Wand at all actually, they had a rather large array of people and skillsets. Even if they mostly uh steered towards melee combat.

Just meant they could back each other up close a lot more yeah?

The young woman left most of the talking up to Leon, simply content with nodding along eagerly to what was being exchanged between the two groups. Seemed like this other group had been through a fair bit together already for the most part. Veteran adventures meant more she could be taught, so Maribel clasped a hand to her chest and held aloft her beaming smile upon being called upon by Leon.

"The more the merrier right? I don't see an issue, I just hope I don't drag everyone down too much." Her grin barely faded, though she seemed to pause for a moment. Oh right, Leon had mentioned her name, but she should introduce herself properly...er unlike when she had barged in on Jane and Leon. "Maribel Eclipse, I may still only be a trainee from the order of Mayon, but I look forward to learning from you all!"

A brief curtsy followed the girl's equally excitable introduction, her dazzling gaze soon falling upon the shorter half-elf who seemed to be speaking to her. He looked to be around her age, though it was hard to tell with half-elves sometimes.

"A pleasure to meet you, Finn, I'll make certain to take you up on the offer." She greeted his smile with her own, giving something of an awkward salute. With them all together, she was starting to realize how much of a crowd a group of seven was. Though this wasn't too out of the norm for the red-head, was it that uncommon among adventurers to travel in a large group like this? Suppose it would vary from job to job, but wouldn't a larger group mean greater safety? Safety in numbers and whatnot?

"Well, I've never worked with people outside of the church, so I suppose everyone can share in the others firsts together!"
She had already brought everything she had with her, her armor, weapons and whatever supplies the church had given her inside her pack. So she was ready to go whenever the others were.

---

So far, everything had gone smoothly for the group. Having met up with the church of Reon's local chapter, they had been given enough info to find the place through whatever remained inside still seemed to remain a mystery, even to the church. While this was somewhat worrying, it barely even dented Maribel's enthusiasm and optimism about their little adventure.

Especially now that they found themselves in a picturesque scene. A beautiful pine, moss-covered forest untouched by mankind. Truly nothing was more beautiful than mother nature itself. Though so far for most the trip, despite her excitement and announcement of wanting to learn from the others, she had barely talked to them during their trip here. Instead, taking to her own imagination to visualize what may be awaiting them.

Traps? Treasure? Monsters? Some unspeakable, world-ending evil? All the above? Oooh, maybe a dragon!

Maybe none of them, who knew. And that was the most exciting part!

"So, uh, Finn," She had decided he was one of the best to ask on the matter that plagued her mind, walking beside him as they traversed the greenery. "What should I be expecting? Roughly I mean. I'm sure you've explored ruins like this before yeah? From the sounds of, nothing good obviously. Scared that hunter off good and proper and all."

Mahoukyo: A Tale of Three

@Shard@Jangel13@AdmrlStalfos19@Not Fungus

Whina looked down at the paper that Dunkas had given her with a blank look. She looked from the paper to Dunkas, back to the paper, back to Dunkas, only to look at the paper again. He...he had it. This entire time. And didn't say anything?!

Her face was closer to the colour of her hair as the girl shakily unrolled the briefing. "Ahaha...of course, um...lets see." Peering at the paper, her sheepish look soon changed. She seemed to grow...pale, all the color draining from her face, including the red from previous. Oh dear.

Oh no. It got worse.

Oh fuck.

With shaking hands, she looked back at Dunkas. She wasn't sure how to take this news. Had he read it yet? Or had he just been carrying it? No, he wouldn't have...she would've seen him have it. The girl was so preoccupied, she hadn't noticed what the others were getting up to, nor the fact that Artemis had left at this stage.

"I...umm...where do I start?" She really wished there were more copies of this so she could just hand it out to the others to read. Did she even have time to explain this? "I'll...I'll text the information through to you all. This is...a lot to take in." She honestly couldn't bring herself to say some of this. How could she explain this monster without the others, Elliot especially, immediately wanting to take it on? Saori might want to do experiments on this unique being, or Zeke might want to cook it to see if it was any good...

Yeah, actually she should try and keep that part a secret. She was certain the Isamu, in particular, would at least be aiming to stop it, so all the more reason to avoid it. The distortions were also a big concern....but not as concerning as this.

"But our main objective will be a Soul Vein located about a kilometer south of here. I'll also text the coordinates." It was also the vein the furthest away from the beast. So, if they had to fight it, it wouldn't be till later. After she had sent the message around.

With edits done to leave out the big soul vein absorbing monster of course.

The girl's ability to absorb the information into the report, analyze it in her mind, then pick and choose what to send to the others, deliberately leave parts out, and then edit it all to make it looks like the full report but just condensed would make people seriously question how this was also the same girl who had just left it on the backseat of a taxi.

Everything's phones would light up with a report on the shorter Zero Time and the location of their target, a small warehouse that housed a supermarkets goods.

With his squad prepped and ready to go, Hector would lead them out of the room, still fiddling with his bracelet, a scowl forming on his face as he mumbled a few things under his breath. Something about useless and late? Squad trailing behind him like some sort of action movie sequence, the air around of the group seemed to shimmer the instant they left the building. The gemstones on Hector's bracelet began to glow in response to the shimmer, as would Cassius' snake tattoo and even Jana would begin to glow ever so softly. Each and every one of them felt a pull on them, before suddenly the shimmering blinked out of existence.

At first, it seemed like nothing had happened. Everything was normal...except for the lack of people in their immediate vicinity. The security guard indoors, gone. Passerbys on the street? Gone. An ominous presence soon seemed to bear down on the group of mages, a similar sensation to all gathered. They had crossed over into Zero Time, Hector's stones opening the gate and allowing all who qualified inside.

"Ms Dozier, Ms Enishi, Cassius, I want the three of you to team up to locate the creature, not that it should be too difficult to do so. Huge glowing monsters tend to stick out I would believe. You have my permission to engage with the creature upon sight, though I do expect the three of you to report your exact location before doing so."

Hector would point to all three of them, especially casting a look towards Cassius when he spoke, before turning to face Jana and Takuto.

"You two will be with me. We'll look to take a nearby Soul Vein before going to offer assistance to the others, if they so need it. Otherwise we will look to regroup and head towards the next Soul Vein." While it seemed silly on the surface to put all his best fighters in one group, he didn't know the strength of the monster in question so it was best to leave the best combat suited mages to deal with it. The Soul Vein nearby also only had a few monsters guarding it, and was also the least...warped. So it was a good start for the man at any rate.

At the drop of a hat, all the tension around Maylis seemed to drop, a smile spreading across her face as she turned to speak with Rena as she spoke up. "Ah yes, I suppose that is true, isn't it?" Clasping her hands together, she looked around at the three gathered mages...and sighed. "I was hoping that the rest would be here by now...hey Dieter, you sure you got their numbers right?"
Turning back around, hands-on-hips the Isamu leader shot an annoyed towards the armored man. For his part in the conversation, he seemed a little startled and frantically brought up his phone and scrolled through it. "I'm certain Mistress Maylis...uhh, they haven't responded yet...maybe they haven't seen it?" Dieter sounded hopeful as he shrugged his shoulders, the situation just making Alister sigh and rub his temples again.

They were off to a great start huh?

"I suggest we just brief who is here, we'll just have to work with what we have Lady Maylis. I'll stay here in case they show up late." They didn't have time to really waste anymore, hence why Alister seemed content with dropping the topic with Maylis entirely. Especially since it seemed they were a little undermanned for the mission at hand.

"Ah, of course. I have some done up and ready for you three already." Pulling out some stabled together pieces of paper, she handed one to each of Rena, Rin and Nass. Within the briefing that Maylis had given them was details on a monster absorb soul veins, distortions within Zero Time and the reduced Zero Time as a result. "With that settled, once you're content with the report I believe we should get moving. The others may already be ahead, but we can make up no problem I'm sure."

MHA: Bot Ten Heroes!

#40 Smol French Maid

Hero Costume

Age: 14

Nationality: French

Height: 4'5/134cm

Rank: 40

Personality:
Amelie is, at heart, a coward by no stretch of the imagination. She dreads pain, both dealing and receiving, faints at the sight of blood and gives up easily when in a hostile encounter. While others around her are quick to act and get into the thick of the action, Amelie is scoping out the places which seem safest to wait things out. She's easily frightened and upset, especially if strangers or people she barely knows. Though she does seem to be a little more comfortable when by the side of her childhood friend Masahashi, though that's more her trying to clean up the social messes he finds himself in.

For the daughter of a maid, who even learned how to become a maid so as to be more useful to her childhood friend...Amelie is terrible at housework and such. Her klutzy nature means she messes up even the simplest of tasks. She is probably more useful for fixing things that she breaks than doing the actual tasks that lead to said breaks.

The girl is also very much a technology nuffie, constantly reading up on the latest inventions and can be found reading manuals or other related material to learn as much on machinery and the like as she can, in case she ever needs the information for her quirk or ideas on how to use it.

Despite her rather...faint of heart nature, she has an innate desire to protect others despite her own short-comings and strives to become a hero to not only protect others but to also overcome her own spinelessness and gain the courage to face her (many) fears head-on, idolizing All Might and especially being motivated by his final stand.

Technokinesis: Emitter Type Quirk

• Effect: Amelie was born with that gave her the ability to manipulate machines/technology. Have a broken smartphone? She can fix it. Need someone to stop a rampaging robot? She can stop it, but probably not willing or wanting to. Bunch of broken/spare parts of a machine(s)? She can probably fasten something together given the time.
• Her control over machines basically boils down to simple commands or orders, if she's controlling a group she cannot give them separate orders, the group more moving like a hive and she's the queen. While repairing, she needs constant contact and sufficient time to complete the task, a phone taking no time at all while a large robot could take hours to finish depending on the damage taken/repairs needed.
• However, every time she uses her quirk, she will slowly grow weaker depending on the task she has completed. Once she reaches a certain threshold, she'll become like Megumin from Konosuba, unable to move for a time and be basically helpless. Well more helpless than usual.

History:
Amelie was born to a family of commoners working for the Kajiwara family, her mother as a maid and her father as IT support. Both were born with tech-related abilities, her father the ability to find and fix problems within computers and the like, her mother the ability to control little mechanical puppets her father made. She manifested both quirks a little later than most, at the age of 5.

She and the young heir to the Kajiwara family had almost grown-up together, being of a similar age and her parents working for his allowed for her to visit him rather frequently to give him much needed social interaction, though unlike him the younger girl attended an actual school and thus was able to interact with people other than who his father approved he see. Though even as they grew up, she visited him often, generally whenever she could. They would often play together, taking a fond liking to maid and master in the same vein as her mother and his father.

Her mother and father raised her to be brave, stand up for what you believe and always try to do the right thing. For years, she stood firm to the beliefs ingrained in her from her parents...however, that all changed when she was ten years old. She had never been popular at school, often picked on or made fun of for her heterochromia or from those who were jealous that her parents worked for a family like the Kajiwara. But she still had what she felt was a tight-knit group of friends, people who would watch out for each other no matter what. How wrong she was.

One day, she and her friends were coming home from school when a group of older kids began to harass them, singling out a girl with cat ears to be the target for most of their tormenting. Having enough, Amelie tried to stand up to the bullies, grabbing one of their phones while they were holding it and overloading it in their hands to give them a rather shocking experience. Outraged, the older kids turned on Amelie while her friends turned tail and ran. Amelie barely escaped, though her favorite blouse was torn, cat-girl's tearful apology and their little groups' safety made it worthwhile.

It wasn't until later she would come to regret it, wondering if there had been another way to deal with the situation... A few days passed, and she and her friends decided to meet up on the weekend. They did it rather frequently, so neither she nor her parents thought much of it at the time, but hindsight is always a funny thing.

Long story short, her friends sold her out to the bullies and she got beat up.

After that incident, along with being singled out at school, she dropped out and was home-taught by her mother for awhile, afraid of reaching out to other children her age besides Masa. She had even been assigned as his ‘maid’, to keep her busy and out of trouble more than anything else, before his father decided to enroll him at New Heights Academy, the girl soon following suit.

Exam Report: During the exam, Amelie took control of a few of the robots for the exam, never actually 'defeating' any in the process and only doing so after they had her cornered while giving chase to her over the entirety of the exam area. Once she had control of a handful of robots, she got them to collect ribbons while she hid. However as she began to poll a fair few ribbons, her robots were destroyed by the crossfire of the fight between Mashashi and Homura. Unwilling to come out of hiding, she barely finished outside the Bot ten, only finishing that high because she managed to scrap enough ribbons together.

#9 Bogan tomboy

Hero Costume

Age: 15

Nationality: Land Down Under

Height: 5'7/170cm

Rank: 9

Personality:
Stephanie is a typical Aussie larrikin, speaking in a manner many believe to be rude or informal. She isn't a fan of sitting around doing nothing, always having to be on the move. She cares little for rules that don't suit her needs at the time, more than happy to bend or outright disregard them if a situation calls for it. Her rowdy, outgoing nature can be offputting at first, as can her thicccc Australian accent and usage of local colloquial terms making her seem incomprehensible at times.

However, if one can get past the somewhat aggressive, but not hostile, first impressions, they'll find her to be a passionate girl with a reckless streak and hunger for thrills, which she satisfies either by fighting or other means. She cares little for her outward appearance, favoring comfort over what's in fashion and will shamelessly walk around in just shorts and singlet.

Her pet hate, however, is to be treated like a girl, or what that would imply. She hates the idea of people thinking she's weak or needs to be protected, all because of the fact she wasn't born a guy. This combined with her hot-headedness and recklessness has landed her in hot water on more than one occasion with the principal.

Unlike others in the top ten, she doesn't look down on others depending on rank or quirk, letting their actions and behaviors be her judge on whether to like a person or not.

Sun for all

Solar Power: Emitter, Accumulation Type Quirk

Effect: Stephanie operates effectively as a walking solar panel and battery rolled into one. Her skin absorbs the sunlight around her, turning it into potential energy that she stores within her own body for later use. Using this energy storage, she is capable of enhancing her physical abilities, to a level comparable with Captain America, and can condense them into 'sunbeams', aka laser-like attacks of varying size depending on the amount of charge allocated. She is also capable of glowing/making a bright flash, allowing her to light up dark or dimly lit areas. She is noticeably stronger while exposed to sunlight, meaning she's weaker when fighting indoors or at night, however.

The downsides, of course, include that she cannot charge her quirk at night, meaning she needs to do all her charging during the day or risk running out. Another is that she can overheat or burn herself if she overdoes things, or overcharges herself. Also when low on charge, her usual outgoing, and boisterous nature is greatly diminished as well, as she enters her 'power saver mode'.

---

History:
Born into a large family, Stephanie is one of 13 children and the only girl. Having grown up with 12 older and younger brothers meant she took more to masculine rather than feminine things easier, more than happy to rough-house, get dirty or simply getting into trouble. When her quirk first manifested, however, she almost burned down her family home by magnifying sunrays through her fingers, like playing with a magnifying glass....but 10x more potent. She continued to mess around with her powers, even using it against her siblings when they rough-housed till eventually, they stopped wanting to play with their 'cheating' sister.

She first got a taste for fighting however when she first started attending school, gaining a reputation for a trouble-maker and initiator of many a fight. In her first fight, defending another girl from some bullies, she knocked a kid flat out cold...the rush of taking on their angry friends one by one, dodging punches, kicks, quirks...rumours go that she beat all ten of them up single-handedly, a grin on her face all the while not taking a single hit. Her reputation only grew as she did too, however not a single kid who she beat up had the courage to get her expelled for fear of retaliation.

Eventually, she started growing bored of beating up schoolyard bullies and weaklings and turned to the streets. Picking off muggers and the like gave her a taste of what adults could dish up....which ultimately disappointed her. Her brothers too had disappointing quirks and abilities, so they were a waste of her time. She even joined some underground fighting ring...but she too grew bored of that rather quickly. Once again, small fry was found and beaten. She needed something more challenging, something better.

So the chance to join New Heights Academy, become a hero and fight villains for the sake of the world? Well, she was already on the plane there before anyone could explain the details to her.

Exam Report: Stephanie breezed through the exam, for the most part, destroying robots for fun and collecting the odd ribbon along the way, though she seemed to rather fight for the ribbons than outright take them. The main thing that held her back from a higher mark, however, was her...over the top way of fighting the robots. She dealt as much damage to the exam area as all of the robots combined, hitting both target and supposed allies alike in her no-nonsense, no punches held attacks, her reckless nature endangering others and dropping her ranking as a result. Also as the exam wore on, her power seemed to drop off as her charge got lower and lower.
