Makatsume Haru

Persona: Through the Looking Glass

Today went by as any other day. Axel was stuck to the TV the whole day, playing one of his favourite games, for, what? The fiftieth time? He had already lost count of it. He knew that the next day he'd have to wake up early to go to school, but he didn't really care, he would pull an all-nighter and finish it again, since he loved the game. However, his mother had other plans for him. Axel heard his mother shouting on the other side of the door leading to his dark room, the only light in it was that of his TV.

"Axel, you have school tomorrow! Leave that thing alone already, for god's sake!" His mom said to him, in an angry tone.

"Yeah, just lemme finish this level and I'll head to bed immediately." He grinned at the thought of it. Oh, how silly was his mom, to believe that an RPG had such things as 'levels', other than those of the characters.

Then again, she had been dealing with Axel for a long time now. "You won't fool me, Axel. You have 10 more minutes or I'll turn down the electricity."

Funny thing, she wasn't joking. She'd seriously leave all the house without electricity if Axel didn't comply. He clicked his tongue and hurried into the menu to save his game. His fingers moved swiftly through the controller. "Okay, gotcha. I am already saving my game. I'll turn the console off after it finishes saving." He announces and his mother replies with a simple 'yes' and then Axel hears her walk away. He lets out a sigh as the game finishes the saving progress and reluctantly turns it off. "Ugh, it is a drag to wake up early in the morning." He lumps his body towards his bed, well, at least he'd get to sleep a good amount of time and not wake up tired for his first day of college. He lies on his bed, still dressed and wearing his favourite hoodie, thinking he'll be able to wake up and take a quick shower the next morning. Axel closes his eyes and prepares himself to go to that wonderland called the dream world.

He never thought he'd end up in the actual Wonderland, though. He felt, well, there wasn't really a way to describe it, he just knew he felt strange and then, as if looking through the glass of a vitrine in some shop, he saw a landscape. Truly something wonderful and pleasant to the eye, he thought. His dreams had never been this vivid before, so he felt quite privileged to be experiencing such a thing. Though, the believe that it was all a dream was disturbed by the fact that he was pulled into the glass-like visage and then fell down.

Even if it didn't feel at all unpleasant, something was definitely odd. As he fell down, everything looked as if he was in the actual Wonderland of the story. When he landed, he tried to get acquainted with his surroundings, moving his head in all directions to make a little map inside his head, though to really accomplish something like that he'd have to explore his surroundings. There were others with him, but he didn't paid them much heed. Rather, Axel was more intrigued by the walking rabbit. The probability of all of this being a dream was decreasing exponentially with time. So, he stood up and walked to where the rabbit was, other girl did the same but flinched back as soon as it talked. Well, even through his realism, it was obvious this wasn't normal at all, dream or not, he should at least try and get some info out of the rabbit.

He felt oddly at ease with the fluffy talking rabbit, so he didn't act shy around it. Maybe it was because it seemed more as something fictional than something real. Axel poked the rabbit's head, as if to confirm it was real. "So, White Rabbit, today ya aren't late for anything? In the books you seemed a lot more lively than this." He said in a monotone voice. "And, I'm figuring we're here to do something. What is it? Beat the Red Queen? Slay the Bander-whateveryacallit?" He really didn't seem interesting, but hey, it seemed better than sit and do nothing.

CS

NAME: Raphael Marrete

AGE: 18

GENDER: Male

HOMETOWN: Dendemille Town, born and raised in there. He has travelled to many regions, though he hasn’t explored them completely, often sticking to just the snowy parts of them.

APPEARANCE:


He stands at 1.85 m and has a muscular build. He usually tries to look at least a little formal, since he likes to look at least presentable to others. His favourite choice of attire is a deep blue blazer with light blue details and matching pants, along with a pair of black boots which he wears above his pants. He also wears a white dress shirt under the blazer and a sleeveless dark t-shirt under that. He also carries around a pair of shades, in his breast pocket, though he usually just uses them during Pokémon Contests as part of his attire, or, obviously, when there’s a lot of sun. Also, as part of his on-stage attire, he wears a pair of fingerless gloves.

PERSONALITY: Raphael, at first glance and without a companion, seems to be quite the happy-go-lucky guy. Not minding others and just spouting whatever comes to mind, and also at times he seems to be quite the flirter. This is partly false and true at the same time, yes he is someone who often spouts whatever is in his mind, but he also tries to be considerate of others and, when he offends someone due to his loose tongue and habit of saying what comes to his mind, he will try to make amends in any way he is able to, often reaching ridiculous proportions and over-the-top and not needed solutions for a problem which started as something small.

As you may have noticed already, Raphael also tends to exaggerate and overthink things a lot. When in presence of someone he doesn’t know, he often cuts himself on mid-sentence, to avoid screwing up his first impression. Sometimes, even the littlest of things with no real deep meaning at all becomes something big in his mind, while he searches for a hidden meaning which isn’t there. Also, around people he just met he tends to become something similar to a butler, attending to whatever they may need, just in case he screws up he can repay it to others by being of use for something.

It is to be noted that he does not understand the meaning of ‘context’, since he often takes things literally when one searches to say something with a deeper meaning or, in the complete polar opposite, he searches for a deep meaning in something. All of this shows that he can be quite the nervous guy and often fails to see what other mean, or what others may feel like. In one way, it can be said that he is somewhat of a klutz when it comes to relating with others, but those who really are his friends know that he is someone truly kind and caring, and, when times need it, someone harsh that will probably scold you when you do something wrong. Many say he can be quite the older brother when you get to know him well. When he is others, though, he also grows a little more confident of himself.

However, both with his Pokémon and in Pokémon contests, his attitude has a 180° turn, well, something like that. He is still kind and caring yes, but he becomes more confident and more of a show-off, often trying to show how beautiful his Pokémon are. Still, it doesn’t mean he’ll look down upon others. In Pokémon Contests he becomes quite the showman, the only thing in his mind being how he’ll strike others with his performance and because of that, in every and each one of his presentations he tries to leave a lasting impression, so that whenever they go to another Pokémon Contest they’ll remember him.

HISTORY: Raphael grew up near in Dendemille Town, near the Frost Cavern where he and some of his friends used to play, in the outside, of course, since inside it there are lots of wild Pokémon. He loved, and still loves, the cold climate that was in there and how it was always snowy around the Frost Cavern. With his friends he often played snowball wars or competed to see who could make the best snowman and in his house, he would play with his father’s Vanilluxe.

As he grew up, his love for snowy places just grew and grew stronger and, when it was time for him to get his first Pokémon, his father decided to give him a recently hatched female Snorunt that he acquired through a trade. The day he received his Snorunt was the happiest day of his life, so much, that he begged his father to let them go to the Frost Cavern and train, but, of course, the father refused, saying that he would accompany Raphael to the Frost Cavern the next day. However, kids are impatient. That same day, in the shadows of the night, he slipped out of his house and headed to the Frost Cavern with his untrained Snorunt.

Needless to say, his Snorunt was defeated by the wild Pokémon roaming there trying to protect Raphael. When Raphael took it to the Pokémon Center, he was obviously scolded by his parents, but still, that didn’t matter. He felt bad for letting his new friend being hurt just to protect him. He was dead set on not letting such a thing happen again. He was sure to train every day and make both him and his Snorunt grow stronger, because if they were stronger there was no way he would need to see his friend hurt again. It wasn’t surprising when he left Dendemille Town to travel on his own, saying he wanted to see every place where snow fell not only in the Kalos region, but in every region.

While he was travelling, he discovered that battle didn’t quite thrilled him, but Pokémon Contests where he could make everyone see his friends and how spectacular they were. He wanted people to see his friends as beautiful as he saw them. So, apart from wanting to become a great Pokémon Coordinator, he also wants all of his Pokémon to be as happy as they can get and because of that, he also learnt how to cook, so he could give his Pokémon handmade snacks and make them even happier. Also, his snacks works as an incentive to do their best in Pokémon Contests.

He is going to the Starlight Festival to participate in the Pokémon Contest that will be held there and also because he wants his Pokémon to see how lively a festival can be, even if the weather in the island isn’t quite his thing, he is sure he can withstand it because of his Pokémon.

POKEMON PARTY:
Fuuka, a female Froslass — Fuuka is the first Pokémon he ever had.

Rinna, a female Kirlia — A Pokémon Raphael caught as a Ralts not long ago.

Luna, a female Absol — A little too arrogant and proud. Raphael takes great care of her fur.

Palse, a male Scizor — More approachable and cute in nature than one would think. Loves to be petted.

Mira, a female Weavile — Loves to have her claws sharpened.

Snowy, a male Snover — Playful but lazy.

EDIT: Due to no response, I'll assume you still are deciding, so, here's my CS. :P

Academy City: The City of Espers

CS

Bio

Name: Murasaki Hiyori

Codename: Technocrisis.

Age: 18

Gender: Female

General 7

Appearance:
She stands at 1.82 m. Her build is rather voluptuous and she wears a pair of glasses as seen in the image. Her hair is black and reaches her mid-back. She has purple eyes.

Personality: She is quite arrogant and confident on how she is and what she knows, as well as being very confident of her abilities, both mental and physical, though she has not much to show off in the range of physical abilities, but she refuses to accept she isn’t good at something. Hiyori looks down on people who often say or do idiotic and senseless things, since her whole life is ruled by logic and logic alone. She doesn’t find enjoyable fantasy settings nor would she believe in anything that can’t be proved with numbers and the scientific method, often dismissing it as BS. Since she is like that, she can also be called naïve and sceptical.

She also despises anyone who won’t go according to her calculus and predictions, calling them ‘irregulars’ for getting out of the type Hiyori encased them in. She finds this kind of people hard to understand and, whether they are interesting enough or not, she might try to decipher whatever goes through their mind or put them in her personal list of people she should nev-er ever again talk with. Also, people she finds interesting would get a special treatment from her, since she becomes way too touchy-feely and invading the personal space of others, saying it is for ‘research’ purposes.

Hiyori, however, has an aversion for people touching her and only when she is the one touching others is when she doesn’t feel uncomfortable. She has a knack for technology and also is her favourite thing in the whole world, saying she would probably die if she didn’t had technology around her in a range of at least 5 m, and, funny enough, she does seem to become weaker when she is far from any kind of electronic, however, whether she puts up an act with this or if it really affects her in some way due to her Esper powers is unknown.

Likes: Technology, science, investigations, videogames and books (Just in virtual format, though)

Dislikes: Being away from technology, fantastical nonsense, self-proclaimed magicians, being touched by others, anything that has acquired a virtual format and still is in its original format (e.g. physical format books)

Strengths: Extremely intelligent and also extremely good with anything that has the littlest bit of technology. She also has a photographic memory. Can eat a lot and stay in her current figure due to her metabolism (She considers this a strength). Extremely quick reading speed.

Weaknesses: Physically weak. She has a one-sided self-induced case of haphephobia and she can’t stand being touched, she says she needed a special quirk since every genius is eccentric. Way too arrogant and self-confident, which also sometimes lead to underestimating an opponent.

Faction
Judgement

History/Background: Hiyori, since she was a child, has had a great love for everything technological, however, this also made her seem as someone weird and many others looked down on her, to the point of being bullied by her classmates. Thanks to this, she also developed her arrogant behaviour, since the only thing she could defend herself was looking down on others for being so stupid they couldn’t match her when it came to academic abilities, however, this only distanced her further from everyone else. She grew up being called a weirdo and many times being looked down upon, but her fathers also provided an emotional anchor for her, so it wasn’t all completely bad.

Due to her knack for technological things and many times accomplishing impossible things for a child her age, she was put under investigation to see if she had some kind of potential as an Esper, and, not so surprising, she had a great potential for becoming one, thanks to her great mind.

Esper Power

Type: Technokinesis

Level: 5

Description: Through the modification and control of specific electrons, she is able to control any kind of object that has advanced technology within it. While she can control many objects at once, her effective range is limited to 10 m. She can repurpose simple machines and make weapons out of them. She can also detect any kind of electrical wave in a range of 5 km, also the ones humans produce, but it is way weaker than what she can feel from technological devices, also, how strong she feels those electrical waves get weaker as it gets farther away from Hiyori. Hiyori can also reprogram any software, though she also needs to use her own abilities for that.

Here is my CS, just say the word if there's anything wrong. Oh, also, hope you can accommodate her in one of the power levels.

Academy City: The City of Espers

Oh, okay.

Since I am not very sure on what my level power would be, after I finish my CS I'll post it here and let you rate it. :P

Academy City: The City of Espers

So, so, how many level 5 are you gonna accept?

Living Reflection: A Psychological Alter Egos RP

Kano was getting more and more bored the more he talked with Greg. He wasn't any fun for teasing, since he didn't get worked up about anything he said, nor did he get uncomfortable with his overly-friendly attitude towards someone he hadn't even talked to before. Kano was starting to lose interest in the way too level-headed Greg. Most people would try to correct more than ferociously that they aren't as those stereotypes said. Kano let out a sigh. One last try won't hurt. "Heh, you seem to be as carefree as any other Australian." His disinterest was clear in his face as he rolled his eyes and looked at the window on the other side. He noticed that he had already passed the stop in which he should have gotten off, if he wanted to go to the arcade. "Oh, hell." He stands up rather quickly and approaches the bus driver. "Hey, hey, think ya can let me down? I was kinda absorbed in my talk and missed my stop. C'mon, pretty please?" He begs for the driver to let him down and, reluctantly, he complies.

"Thanks a bunch, ojisan." He says as he bows a little. Kano turns to see Greg. "If you ever wanna come to the arcade, just ask me for directions, I can lead you there. See ya at school." He gets off the bus in quite a rush and now that he is down, he starts walking towards the arcade. "I hope someone has the guts to defy me in the dance game, I could get someone to talk with if someone did so." He feels kind of disappointed, since Greg was so little fun he couldn't even get to the good part.

Scarlet Thorn's kick connected beautifully with Ironclad's face and the metallic Alter Ego started dripping, what was it, acid? Well, it didn't matter. A mischievous chuckle escaped Scarlet's mouth. "What, don't tell me you work on gasoline? Man, that's so retro!" As he tried to cover up his wound, he heard how the liquid burnt the floor below them. "Ugh, so anti-hygienic. You should really buy good quality oil next time you get yourself a drink." Since the guy seemed a robot, well, it was just natural to think that he drank oil accompanied with his screw salad.

He put his guard up again after he saw Ironclad readying his next attack. When he took out his blades, he knew things would quit being boring. "Finally, some true entertainment!" He said when Ironclad threw himself against Scarlet. His attacks were, umm, how to say it. Well, Scarlet Thorn found it kind of disappointing that Ironclad was so determined on having such an unrefined attack style, Trying to slice him in two all while moving around, well, it was tasteless, no refinement at all. A swordsman should be more refined, or so he thought. Scarlet tried to escape the flurry of slices by doing somersaults, but more than obvious, Ironclad got him in the stomach more than one time and Scarlet was hurt rather badly, but his regenerative factor helped him endure it a bit, until he finally got tired of that.

In a swift movement, Scarlet used a tree to impulse him and jumped, making some distance between the Alter Ego's. "You seriously need to work on your fighting style, maybe, try looking less like a metallic brute?" Even if he said so, he didn't thought that Ironclad fought bad, more like he lacked the refinement to have an spectacular fight, and that pissed the self-proclaimed refined Alter Ego. "Ya know, I just can't fight ya like this. See ya!" He used his chains and used some of the tree branches to get himself up, and land in a branch. Next, he proceeded to take his leave after waving goodbye to Ironclad. "Finally away from that brute. Thank god!"

Academy City (Esper School RP)

I'd be up for this, gonna write up a CS later.

Persona: Through the Looking Glass

CS

Human:

Name: Axel Ainsley

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance:

He stands at 1.85 m and weighs 71.3 kg. His build is somewhat slender, and, while he seems to be a little muscular it is mostly just his bones surfacing.

Attire: He usually wears hoodies of many colors, but his favourite is a blue hoodie that has its zipper broken and also seems to be very worn out, but he wears it all the same. Accompanied by that, he also wears whatever casual clothing he can find in his room, usually this being jeans and a t-shirt with a fun caption. He also uses a pair of glasses with a rather simple black design.

Arcana: Hermit

Weapon: Double edged spear. A large, pitch black, spear with two edges, sometimes he likes to swing it around, being sort of a show-off. What would be the front of it has a somewhat large blade, while in the other side there’s only a rather little blade. He mostly attacks with it as a long range weapon, due to his poor physical condition.

Personality: He is sly and sarcastic, as well as a smart-ass. He is someone who gets easily on your nerves and knows exactly what buttons to push to make you angry, however, in most of the cases, he isn’t doing it to annoy you or to bully you, that’s just how he is and has a little of trouble clearing up misunderstandings, which may be caused due to his sarcasm. He is also someone very realistic and a down to earth person, not beating around the bush to say something. What he truly enjoys, however, is correcting others, which also gets on the nerves of most people, but he has a little trauma with people speaking correctly and cannot forgive anyone who speaks with wrong grammaticism or writes with bad orthography. He is also extremely lazy and carefree, not paying attention to anything unless it really interests him.

And while he can be quite an asshole, he is also surprisingly shy, unable to talk with someone he just met normally and even less if said person is a girl. He often lets out his real personality after he gets to know the other party well enough, but while that doesn't happen, he is mostly someone quiet who barely speaks, and when he does, he does it in an extremely polite way, even his emotions are devoid from his face when he is getting to know someone. But, when he becomes someone’s friend, he’ll change from being polite to being someone who often spouts out whatever comes to mind, whether it can hurt the other party or not, matters not to him, as well as becoming an open book, every emotion showing clearly on his face.

But don’t get him wrong, he holds in high esteem all of his friends, and will often help them however he can, even if it means sacrificing himself to do so.

His hobbies are listening to music and reading books, also, he loves to play videogames and spends most of his weekends playing in his house. He can also use any kind of technology almost as an expert could. He is very intelligent, but has a poor physical condition, getting tired rather easily.

Backstory: What can be said about his life? Not much really. He grew up with his mother and father in a normal household. Their parents were just wealthy enough to be able to indulge him with many of his whims, one of them being a videogame console, so he grew up having such things being handed to him as long as he maintained his high grades on school, which proved to be rather easy, except for P.E.

Through all of his life he has never regretted a thing, just the fact of being so shy that he isn’t able to confess his feelings for any of the girls he has had a crush on. He just recently became a college freshman, taking a major in Engineering.

Theme Song:

---

Persona:

Persona Name: Dullahan

Persona Appearance: TBR

Persona Skills: Cleave, Skewer, Agi, .

Character Relevance: The Dullahan is a spirit which acts as the grim reaper, visiting people in their last hours, however, when doing this, it likes to remain unspotted, often bathing people who see it with blood or whipping them with the spinal cord of another human. While not in such extremes, Axel also feels uneasy with others, but when the time comes, he can also be quite hard on his ‘victims’, on this case, his friends, but he still doesn’t do it because he enjoys it, he does it because that’s just his nature.

CS here! ^.^
