World Beyond the Lexicon

So, which characters are going to start this year off already fed up with Dragomar's sh- er, antics? And who's more or less cool with him?

@Fluffy Bunny

Ty would tell him to shut up and stop being two people. So, he'd probably be fed up with it. And based on their stats, I can see them sparking up quite a rivalry.

The Cub

Personal Information
Name: Ty Varen
Titles: The Cub
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: August 8
Hobbies: Cooking (and eating), Exploring, Staying Active.
Height / Weight: 5’2’’ / 105 lbs
Appearance:

Personality: Boisterous and rowdy with an attitude much larger than his stature. Ty is a boy that knows no fear, even when he should. He is quick to judge whether he will like someone and slow to change his mind about it. Want an opinion? He’s got one for pretty much everything, even if he has no idea what he’s talking about. But, beneath his rough exterior is ultimately a kind heart.

History: Ty comes from a long line of hunters. Every member of his family, male and female, extended or otherwise, braves the wilderness and bests wild beasts to take home food. And they all have rugged physiques as if they’ve been genetically engineered for the task. To say he was the runt of the litter would be an understatement, and he was constantly bullied by his siblings and his cousins. His small size compared to his
family earned him the nickname, “The Cub,” quite derogatory for a family of hunters.

However, the Varen family used only a small bit of magic. Just a bit of augmentation to make them more swift or their eyes a bit more keen here and there. Ty knew he’d never be able to best them physically, so he trained in the one area they all neglected: magic. He saw it as the great equalizer when he discovered his beast magic. He could do things his siblings could only dream of. Problem was, they didn’t care. So, he decided to prove them wrong and become a hero. Then they’d have to care!

On Ty’s first day at Avalice, he issued a formal challenge to the first seat of The Miracle Seven, against pretty much everyone’s advice. But, he was adamant, and goaded the first seat into accepting the challenge. The fight lasted all of ten seconds, and nobody was surprised. Frustrated, but not deterred, Ty vowed to take that seat one day.

Combat Information

Classification: Might

Mana Color: Tiger Stripe

Mana Characteristic: It feels like a predator, crouched and hidden, ready to pounce!

Equipment: Ty’s spellbook is a leather-bound journal with various sketches of animals rather than words explaining spells. His magic is kinesthetic in nature, so images convey the information he needs far more effectively than words ever could.

Magic: Beast Magic - Adaptation

Techniques:
Tiger Claw – Ty uses his beast magic to alter his arm into a tiger claw. As the name suggests, he can slash at enemies as swiftly and strongly as a tiger.

Sixth Sense – By channeling mana, Ty gains a heightened sense of awareness. He senses aren’t enhanced, per say, but he is more aware of the things he can sense.

Constrictor Limb – Ty uses his beast magic to alter a limb into a snake-like form. His limb can wrap around an enemy, choking them and crushing their bones.

Bull Charge – Ty uses his beast magic to alter his upper body, making it as hardy and resilient as a bull’s. With a sudden burst of speed, he can batter his enemy.

Tortoise Shell – Ty uses his beast magic to form a shell on a part of his body. Obviously, good for blocking.

Class C filling up with royalty, eh?

@ERode

Oh, my guy's gonna be as far from royalty as you can get. Haha.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Oh wow, this opened up fast. Guess I've gotta make a character now.

World Beyond the Lexicon ~Legends Aren’t Born, They’re Made!~

Looks neat. I'll keep my eye on this.

Tanzou Ryouzan

The last member of their squad to arrive was Ryuunosuke, a boy who seemed to do his utmost to make as many enemies as possible. Ryouzan's brow furrowed slightly at his coarse greeting, but he didn't acknowledge it. He knew the surly shinobi pretty much just wanted a reaction out of them. But, with his arrival the whole team was here and Kameyo began her pep talk. Ryouzan pursed his lips when she mentioned herself bleeding out and desperate in the middle of the war. Ryouzan knew that was a reality he was walking into, but it still didn't make the thought of his sensei on the brink of death any more pleasant. She was harsh on them, but she was a caring woman, and he wouldn't want anything like that to happen again.

One by one, Ryouzan's teammates revealed their dreams and aspirations. Ryouzan folded his arms and listened respectfully, even as Mirai spoke. Though he had his disagreements with his teammates, he wouldn't ever disrespect their heartfelt ambitions. Something like that was not just unbecoming of a shinobi, but unbecoming of a human. Even Ryuunosuke begrudgingly came up with something that satisfied the sensei. Eventually, everyone's eyes fell on him. Ryouzan wasn't one to wear his heart on his sleeve or pour out his emotions like this, but he supposed it was long overdue for the team to open up to each other.

Ryouzan closed his eyes, mulling over the words in his head before he let them out. He reached up and stroked Tsumemaru's feathers, a habit of his that helped him focus on these things. "I want a different Kusagakure," he said at last. "The people here are scared. People wake up in the morning and the first thought their first thoughts are, 'is everyone still here?' I want to make everyone feel safe. I want them to sleep soundly at night knowing they are protected. And, I'd like more shinobi to die of old age." He paused, observing everyone's reaction. Yeah, he knew it was vague, and he wasn't even sure how he'd achieve something like that. But, Kameyo asked for honesty, and that was the best way he could express his goals.

The Adventures of Caleb Crowsnest

"Uhh, yeah, it's me. I think I kinda got turned around a little," Caleb said sheepishly, intentionally avoiding the question. "But it's good I landed here. I'm almost out of--"

SMACK!

The woman slapped Caleb upside the head, glaring down at him. "Merciful fate, boy! We thought you were dead! Just taking off like that, and just look at that sorry dingy you set sail in!" She stared aghast at the makeshift canoe, bobbing gently in the waves beside the grimy dock. "It's a wonder the sea didn't snap it right in half!"

Caleb flinched at the scolding. It certainly wasn't the hero's welcome he was hoping for. Sure, he hadn't completed his quest, but it seemed like he was the only person in the village trying to do something about this plague. He looked defiantly up at the woman, but her stern gray eyes battered whatever fighting spirit he had left into the deepest corner of his soul. "Sorry, Miss Ardia," he said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Sorry indeed! Now come along!" Miss Ardia grabbed his hand and dragged him back to the village like a dog on a leash. Her grip was as firm as ever, yet somehow, her vice-like grasp never hurt any of the children. Her graying brown hair was tied up into a tight little bun and the creases in her face exuded disapproval. A few years ago, Caleb would have been scared. But now, he could only laugh. "And just what is so funny, Crowsnest?"

"Nothing," he said, shaking his head. "It's just good to hear you yelling at me again. You know out in the Big Ocean I only had Flower to talk to, and those were kinda one-sided conversations."

"Oh, we'll talk about you setting sail all on your own in good time. But for now..." Miss Ardia plucked a strand of seaweed out of his hair. "Get yourself cleaned up. You smell like low tide." And as she finished her sentence, they approached the Red Twig Orphanage.

Ozaku staggered onto the sandy shore, his clothes torn and tattered, his body worn and weary. He had no idea how long he had been walking, but he knew that by now his mother and brother would be worried about him. No doubt Ayako had recounted the tale to Tomaru. He stared out at the watery horizon, the sky the deep purple of twilight. The sun had just about fallen, but that was at his back. Now, all he could see were the lazuli ocean waves crashing against the pale coastline; all he could hear was the gentle hiss of the water swelling and receding. He stood just at the water line, but each wave, no matter how small, dragged him closer to the ocean, even if only a millimeter at a time. It was ironic; a man who planted his feet and refused to move would inevitably be drawn into the ocean’s currents. Such was the power of the ocean, such was the power of time.

Then, with a howl that seemed to contain all the fury he had bottled away his entire life, he called out to the sea. “Eleanor! Come show yourself to me!”

There was an eerie silence as he waited for a reply; neither the swishing of the water or the swirling of the coastal winds reached his ear. Then, there was a titanic crash of water that toppled Ozaku like a piece of driftwood. The salty liquid filled his mouth, and although the force of the wave had knocked the wind out of him, he dared not breathe lest his fill his lungs with fluid and seal his demise. But, despite all of its force, there was no god in that wave. Soggy and dripping, staggering and sputtering, Ozaku rose to his feet and called out once again, “Show yourself to me or else I’ll fill your waters with a toxin the likes of which this world has never see! Hear me, or see your precious ocean wither away and die!”

The horizon began to swell, and another wave that towered above the previous one rolled towards the shore with enough force to shatter the kitsune’s insignificant frame. And yet, Ozaku stared the wave down, unflinching, free of all fear. Then, just before the mountain of water annihilated the mortal, it came to a sudden stop, a single massive eye glowing in the core of it all. This was Eleanor the Squid, a creature whose true form was as massive as the sea itself.
