Tobikatte Kira

MicroMart Front - Roof Across Street

Kira had taken note of the arrival of two other people in front of the MicroMart as she continued humming. She wasn't too concerned with the movement on the distant hill she'd noticed before laying down, either; cultists weren't known for having immediate access to long range weaponry nor were they known for having a high number of Espers in their ranks, so chances were, if the distant figures presented a threat at all, it wouldn't be immediate. What did cause her to cease humming and sit up, however, was the faint sound of voices coming from the rear of the mart.

Narrowing her eyes as she gazed at the top of the MicroMart across the street, she tried to concentrate on what she was hearing, but she was too far away to catch most of it. What was most audible were the cheers of a crowd of some size, which seemed to be responding to a single voice. Is there some kinda' rally happenin' back there?! That sounds like way more people than I was hopin' to have to fight, Kira remarked inwardly, slowly moving to standing position. The thought occurred to her that, if there were that many cultists here, they'd probably have plenty extra to leave on watch. Chances are the Freelancers here wouldn't have as much of the element of surprise as she'd hoped they would.

The roar of a diesel engine confirmed Kira's concerns, making her grit her teeth in consternation. She almost didn't hear the footsteps of the congregation that were moving alongside it. But she wasn't about to miss the sight of them, pouring out of the front entrance of the MicroMart. Nor was she about to miss that the semi was being driven out from behind the MicroMart, coming around from behind the building and driving down the side of it toward them. She wasn't sure what the two other Espers here were capable of, but she did know she could stop that truck from leaving. She didn't want to damage its contents, though, and it was also surrounded by people, so simply pulling it over wasn't the best plan. No, if she wanted to flip it without harming the people currently surrounding it, she'd need to wait for the right moment.

Kira's eyes darted back and forth between truck and the crowd of...homeless people? Right...wouldn't be hard to get people who feel like they have nothin' left to lose to join a cult. Probably told 'em they'd make the world that failed them a better place or somethin'.

From what she could tell, the people in the crowd had no projectile weapons, if they were armed at all. Could those weapons even hurt an Esper? No, don't underestimate them, Kira told herself. She decided to begin doing a simple dance that kept her moving from side to side, making her a more difficult target in the event something was thrown at her. It would also help her keep their attention on her.

"Where ya' goin' in such a hurry?! The party hasn't even started yet!" Kira taunted, her already gravelly voice full of vocal fry and her consternation having given way into a confident-looking grin. She wasn't addressing anyone in particular, but if anyone was going to answer, she would bet the important-looking one on the hood of the truck would be it, given how much he stood out from the rest. Which worked for her - she could make it look like she was talking to him while actually keeping an eye on the truck. She just had to wait for it to start turning onto the road in front of the MicroMart...

Y'know what, screw it, I'll go ahead and post the other CSs I've put together for this setting. I know they're not going to be approved for use or anything, I've just been having a blast fitting my OCs into the framework of this RP and don't want to keep all this work to myself. I don't expect anyone to read through these unless they just like reading CSes for fun.

• Brown eyes, round and bright, with thin brown eyebrows and long lashes
• Slender upper body, little if any muscle tone, average bust

• Blue left eye, yellow right eye, hidden behind star-shaped shades with yellow-tinted left lens and blue-tinted right lens, above which sit bright red eyebrows
• Solid black tee-shirt over which is worn a white long coat reaching Exilon's ankles, which sports seven coloured bands similar to a rainbow, that spread out and turn at ninety-degree angles to make them intersect in different spots on the coat, giving it an eclectic, colourful, geometric look
• Thigh-length plaid skirt mixing white and yellow lines on black and red bars
• Rainbow-pattern thigh-high socks, the right sock starting at R and shifting through the rest of OY G BIV as it goes down her leg, and the left sock starting at G and shifting through the rest of BIV ROY as it goes down the leg
• Red and white sneakers
• 5'7"

GRIMIORE:

Jörmungandr

The white, seven string electric guitar Nina carries with her almost everywhere, sometimes just to express herself. The body has a sticker depicting a green serpent coiling around planet Earth on it, located behind the bridge, above the volume and tone knobs.

INSTRUMENT:

Jörmungandr

A glittering golden electric guitar, sporting seven strings each in one colour of the rainbow. It can emit sound even without being jacked into a speaker.

GRADE: Gold
KEYWORD: Staff
DAMAGE TYPE: Arcane
DAMAGE: B
SPEED: B
SENTINEL: D
SPECIAL: LOKI'S TRICKERY: This staff gives up the ability to use Beam Notes and gains the ability to use Shield and Reflect Notes, which will have their durations decreased from 6 seconds to 1/6 of a second when cast with this staff. This staff's shape can be changed by targeting it with a Melody that has a Craft Note; doing so negates the mana cost of that Melody.

STYLE:

Bifröst

Nina's plain appearance changes to the dynamic and colourful appearance of Exilon, changing whatever she was wearing into the shades, skirt, and long coat combo, capped off with rainbow thigh socks!

GRADE: Bronze
PHYSICAL: E
ARCANE: C
CHAOS: D
SPECIAL: N/A

GENRE:

Ragnarök

A magic style centered on creating and manipulating vibrations in the air, imbuing them with power, and using them to create force. Exilon's favourite Melody is [Bronze Spawn][Summon][Craft], which she uses to create a self-playing musical instrument made of glowing neon gas (given electrical charge by creating friction between airborne water molecules) in the air near her.

GRADE: Silver
ELEMENT: Wind
NOTES: [Storm], Damage, Push, Shield, Reflect, Craft, Summon, AOE, Full Extend, Bounce

SPECIAL: LOKI'S LARGE FAMILY: Melodies using the Summon Note cost half mana.

LEITMOTIF:

FACTION:

Maverick Alternative

TRIVIA:

• Due to a birth defect impairing the development of her larynx, Nina is nearly mute. She can make noises akin to whispering, but it's uncomfortable and requires more air than it normally would, so if something absolutely needs to be said, she'll communicate via text messages, or in the most dire circumstances, using a Melody.
• High-energy and assertive when among friends, more reserved when in only among strangers in public
• Her impulse control flies out of the window in her Esper form, leading to much more flirtatious and rambunctious behavior than would normally be observed
• Likes people who take risks and make an effort to stand out from the crowd
• Enjoys exploring the unknown, does not fear the outcast, and is deeply interested in the occult

• Enjoyed a rapid rise in popularity as a musician due to her use of Melodies to simulate advanced practical effects; known as Pax Septimus' One-Woman Electrical Parade thanks to her schtick of "floating, self-playing instruments"
• Her background is not common knowledge, as telling stories about herself - especially with her communication impairment - takes effort she doesn't find worthwhile
• Was raised in a rural town in New York state by a single mother
• She adopted music as a means of self-expression in place of a voice early on in life, and has since become adept at a wide variety of musical instruments
• Discovered her Grimoire in the attic of her house, among things that supposedly belonged to her father

Queen Morag

NAME:

Hannah Hanson / Queen Morag

AGE:

36

SEX:

Female

APPEARANCE:

Normal Appearance

• Pale skin, caucasian
• Black hair, long and straight, typically done up in a bun with a straight edge of bangs just above her brow
• Black eyes, narrow and stern-looking, leering from behind a set of rectangular-lens glasses sporting a black, browline frame, with carefully groomed black eyebrows that make even her resting face look disappointed in you
• 5'11", with slight muscle tone and larger than average bust and hips
• Typically seen wearing a black formal suit jacket and black pencil skirt combo, with a white blouse, black tie, and dark brown tights underneath, ending in black stilettos

Esper Form

• Black hair, long and straight, let down and often billowing in an unfelt wind
• Black eyes, narrow and stern-looking, above which sit carefully groomed black eyebrows
• A scar runs from the right cheek to the left jaw; a gap in her black lipstick leaves it fully exposed
• A suit of sterling silver plate mail hides a muscular physique, and is itself hidden from the waist-down by a skirt of black fabric supported by rods to make it flare outward

GRIMIORE:

Lady of War's Eyes

A pair of black, browline frame glasses with rectangular lenses. Molly transforms by crushing them dramatically in her hand, and they reappear on her face when she leaves Esper form.

INSTRUMENT:

Lady of War's Halberd

GRADE: Bronze
KEYWORD: Halberd
DAMAGE TYPE: Physical
DAMAGE: C
SPEED: E
SENTINEL: D
SPECIAL: LADY OF WAR'S CALL TO ARMS: The halberd sports a war banner depicting G.E.M.I.N.I.'s logo that wraps around its shaft, affixed to which is also a war horn that is that can be blown into when not concealed by the wrapped banner.

STYLE:

Lady of War's Finery

A skirt-sporting suit of armor, lacking a helm, but offering substantial protection all the same.

GRADE: Silver
PHYSICAL: C
ARCANE: E
CHAOS: D
SPECIAL: LADY OF WAR'S ARMOR: While performing an action, if Morag is hit by a damage source of a rank equal to or lower than the rank of resistance to that damage type provided by her Style Glamour, she can ignore any effect it would have on her movement. If Morag is under the effect of Mass, this affect can be applied to a source of damage one rank above. If hit by something that would impede her movement but would't do damage, she can ignore it regardless of the rank of the movement effect. This effect has a ten second cooldown.

GENRE:

Lady of War's Strategem

A genre focused on the creation of portals and minions. Also includes defensive utilities.

GRADE: Bronze
ELEMENT: Earth
NOTES: [Quake, Mass], Portal, Summon, Blink, Shield, Reflect, Stabilize

LEITMOTIF:

Lady of War's Castle

GRADE: Gold
SPECIAL: Queen Morag can access a pocket dimension containing her kingdom's castle, and all of the soldiers, knights, weapons, and resources contained within. Melodies using the Summon note will transport one member of Morag's army through a portal to fight on her behalf. The types of minion that can be summoned in this way using Melodies of the appropriate grades are as follows:

• A shortsword-wielding soldier. Basic armor and combat training. [Bronze Summon]
• A bow/crossbow-wielding soldier. Light armor and advanced marksman training. [Bronze Summon]
• A horse that Morag can ride herself. [Silver Summon]
• A spear and tower shield-wielding soldier. Heavy armor and basic combat training. [Silver Summon]
• A sword and shield-wielding knight. Heavy armor and advanced combat training. [Gold Summon]
• A lance-wielding knight on horseback. Heavy armor, advanced combat training, high mobility. [Gold Summon]

Because these warriors are not made on the spot by Morag's Melodies, the cost of Summon notes is halved. In addition, if a Portal created by a previous melody is present in the vicinity, the Difficulty of following Summon Melodies is treated as one grade lower, but in exchange, the minion must come through that Portal, nowhere else. A maximum of two minions can be present in the real world at once; attempting to summon a third will force the first to return to the castle.

Tobikatte Kira

MicroMart Front - Roof Across Street

Atop the edge of the roof of one of the short buildings near the front of the MicroMart sat Kira, already in Esper form, who had arrived a fair ten minutes before the established arrival time she and the other Espers on Shimr had set for the purpose of observing the enemy. As much as she liked the "run in and punch things" approach, more information was always better than less. Granted, it was difficult to see what was going on behind and inside a building from the front, so she hadn't learned anything particularly useful, but it was reassuring that no particularly strange activity was evident, either.

As nice as it would have been to have a better vantage point, there was nowhere around where she could see the targets without them also seeing her. Well, she *could* have floated above Mart and observed from there, but chances are if she did that, the rest of the Espers taking on this job would have spotted her, thought she was trying to get a head start, and rushed in without giving her an opportunity to relay any info she gathered.

With a groan, she fell sideways from her seated position and laid on her back, pulling out her phone to check if anyone else had given an ETA on their arrival. If I knew it was gonna' to be this boring, I wouldn't'a bothered bein' punctual. She wasn't entirely used to how these "operations" worked, let alone how other Freelance Espers treated them, given she rarely took part in them in favour of saving her mana for her performances, but stealing drinking water was a bit of a sore spot for her.

Her blasé expression shifted into a lazy smirk as she recalled her mental image of how this would go; getting to knock the heads of some inconsiderate goons, reclaiming the people's drinking water, signing a couple autographs for any Espers who happened to be fans of her's. She stuck her phone back in the pocket of her sweatshirt and closed her eyes, chilling with her left leg hanging off the side of the roof as she waited for the arrival time to come around. Acting out of habit, she began humming the melody from Northeast Frost Street into the air to pass the time, the foot of her dangling leg bobbing in time with beat in her head.

APPEARANCE:

• Pale skin, Caucasian
• Black hair, spiky, eyebrow-length bangs, neck-length back and sides, sweeping to her right with a left-side part
• Black eyes, slanted inward, almost catlike in shape, with but not thin eyebrows
• Slender upper body, some muscle definition, small bust but not flat
• Long legs, wide hips, meaty thighs
• Typically clad in a white hoodie and white short shorts, with red-and-white sneakers and red socks that rise to just under the knee

GRIMIORE:

Earth Sphere

Trinket shaped like a globe of planet Earth hanging from a choker around Kira's neck

INSTRUMENT:

The School of the Undefeated of the East

A somewhat skilled Capoeira practitioner, Kira can combine fighting, dancing, and gravity manipulation to stay mobile and keep foes guessing while dishing out the pain with her bare hands and feet.

GRADE: Silver
KEYWORD: Hands
DAMAGE TYPE: Physical
DAMAGE: C
SPEED: B
SENTINEL: E
SPECIAL: THE WINDS OF THE KING: A weak gravitational pull is present around her limbs, affecting any target she attacks by pulling any part of their body that's within six inches of distance of a part of her body toward her, making her blows both more difficult to dodge by reflex and more damaging by half a rank.

STYLE:

Active Mass Balance Auto-Control

The ability to maneuver in zero-g environments without the use of thrusters.

GRADE: Bronze
PHYSICAL: D
ARCANE: E
CHAOS: D
SPECIAL: ASSAULT SHROUD: While engaging a monster or other esper in combat, light will have a harder time escaping the gravitational pull of her body, making her look as if cast in shadow. In already low-light conditions, this may even render her no more than a silhouette to the observer.

GENRE:

Fool Whose Soul is Bound by Earth's Gravity

The ability to manipulate the pull of gravity, most easily used when manipulating its effect on herself.

GRADE: Gold
ELEMENT: Gravity
NOTES: [Weightless, Suspend], Pull, Slow, Restrain, Zone, AOE, Extend, Full Extend, Delay, Orbit, Powerful, Quicken, Purify

SPECIAL: PSYCHOFRAME RESONANCE: Kira can supersede the effect of Earth's gravity on her body with a gravitational pull of her own design, without needing to cast a Melody or use mana to do so. The resulting gravitational force will be of weaker magnitude than that of Earth's, and moves her at F rank speed. Furthermore, a Melody cast with a Bronze Self note and only movement notes will also cost no mana, and move her at F Rank speed, and a Melody cast using a Self note of a higher grade will have its mana cost calculated as if the Cast note were one grade lower, with Silver Grade Melodies moving her at D rank speed and Gold Grade Melodies moving her at B rank speed.

@BrokenPromise As much as unique interactions with characters nobody else can befriend sounds really appealing...I think I'll keep the Maverick idea as a backup character in case this one permadies or something. Also, making a non-combat character wasn't anywhere close to my intent, so no worries there. :)

Another unrelated question: concerning the link to this RP's Discord server on page 3 of OOC, is that only for players whose character has been accepted, or am I free to join now to make discussing my CS easier?

Symphony on High

@BrokenPromise I'm happy to have amused you so much, and hope to continue doing so! ^_^ Thank you for relaying your reaction to me.

Understood, that helps me narrow down my character ideas to two. I'm heavily leaning towards one of them over the other, who would be a Freelancer, but taking a look at the Characters tab shows me that this RP has a dearth of Maverick Alternative player characters, and the idea I'm leaning away from would be perfect for that faction. I'm open to a push in that direction if it would be beneficial for the RP!

Also, separate topic question: in the Doctrine of Combat Supremacy, the Construction section has two Notes that are described as having limits of 5x5 and 1x1, but there's no units given. The Puddle Note has a similar aspect of its description that specifies "feet" as the unit of measurement, so should I assume feet are being used for those notes as well?

Symphony on High

@BrokenPromise Well, my question was more about how that idea relates to the tone of the setting. It seems like the whole idea is for espers to do their thing in secrecy, like Spider-Man or magical girls, so of course I zeroed-in on that aspect as a potential source of intrigue via trend-bucking. I just want to make sure I wouldn't be going too far in the wrong direction by having my character be an in-universe celebrity who uses their esper powers for fame.

Symphony on High

Hm...Would a celebrity esper that uses their powers to put on public performances, with the public accepting that they're just practical effects, be within the bounds of willful suspension of disbelief in this setting?

Symphony on High

Hello! I was browsing the topics and came across this RP, and I really like the modern setting and the really well thought out power system on offer here. Is this still open for character submissions?
