Team Title: The B Team
Gender: Female
Age:Current:21
Post timeskip: 24
Position: Asylum
Specialty: Sniffer
Alchemic Style: Motem (primary) and Sigillum (secondary)
Asylum Code: LIV (54), Across the nape of her neck
Weapons:
Skylar V3: Bella has a bot that she can control with a combination of her glasses and her implant in her hand and in dire need use her alch-spec to maneuver it. Made with nanotechnology, Bella is able to adapt and configure Skylar to fit her needs and break it down into multiple smaller units. While not in use she shapes it as a backpack or a purse that she carries around with her. Skylar is equipped with projectiles, tracking beacons, anti-achemecy substance and explosives and between missions can be modified to add or take away different capabilities (will be brought up to the GM prior to any changes). Skylar is primarily used as surveillance, long range weapon or a shield but when close range is needed Bella tends to shape it into a glaive. In dire need Skylar can be set to self-destruct which also releases anti-alchemy substance within its range.
Glasses: Although her glasses are not needed for sight Bella’s glasses is a tool that was custom made for her to provide assistance due to her being deaf. Reinforced with AMRO technology her lenses are made to be very durable while have AR like capabilities that can be controlled by Bella’s voice and eye gaze as well by her left hand due to an implant. Her glasses have live captions and text to speech capabilities to aid her to hear those around her and as her main form of communication outside of her telepathic communication with Zane. Her glasses have recording capabilities, thermal imaging, translation capabilities and when within range can access A-O. There is a simple AI that she can direct her questions or commands to named Dot.
Alchemy Specialization: Metal manipulation: Bella can shape and move metal within eyesight
Appearance: Standing at a mere 4’10” and weighing 90 pounds, Bella is far from being someone that appears to be threatening. She has a very slender build and her lack of curves might cause some people to think she is a few years younger than her actual age. She has shoulder blade length brown hair that she typically has in a ponytail and long bangs that frames her face. She has brown eyes and wears large round glasses. She has a very pale complexion that tends to burn easily in the sun.
Bella’s style of clothing tends to lean more towards being fashionable than practical such as wearing a lighter jacket since only because it matches her dress rather than a warmer one during winter or wearing flats on missions when sturdier footwear would be more appropriate. This habit has gotten better since leaving Innocence with Zane frequently bugging her about practical clothes-- and being present when she is packing for a mission.
Personality: Bella is someone who tries hard to act friendly towards others. She does her best to see the best in others and tries to get along with her peers even if their personality might rub her the wrong way or if she doesn’t agree with their opinions. During Innocence she was notorious for being very shy but since graduation has been working hard on her confidence and being bold enough to start conversations with others that she might not know well. Since it can take an extra second or two to create longer phrases with her glasses, Bella tends to use two or three word sentences more frequently.
Growing up weaker and falling behind her peers for as long as she could remember up until her mid-teens, Bella was someone that pushed very hard to keep up with her class. This drive has continued throughout her adulthood even though she is now on equal footing with her peers and has caused some people to see her as a workaholic. She struggles working with others who don’t take work seriously or are late.
Bella has the ability to talk but rarely chooses to do so due to feeling self conscious of her voice since her speech tends not to be clear and hard for others to understand her if they are not familiar with her speech. When she has no choice but to speak she tends to stick to short responses such as “yes” or “no”.
History:
“She is a blemish to the family name. You should put that child out of her misery else you will be burdened with caring for her forever.”
Born with poor health no one thought Bella would survive past her childhood. Out of desperation her parents left her family’s estate and in search of help which led to Bella’s recovery. This however caused a rift between Bella’s immediate family and the rest of her family that has continued to this day. It is rumored that her family might have a bounty on her head.
Other: When not out on missions Bella tends to work in the audit and compliance department to ensure paperwork is done correctly and in a timely fashion. She might be one of the people declining your reports and asking you to fix it or hounding you to turn your late reports in.
Name: Zane Hughes
Official Title: The Lion
Team Title: The B Team
Gender: Male
Age:Current:24
Post timeskip: 27
Position: Asylum
Specialty: Hybrid
Alchemic Style: Vocem (primary) and Motem (secondary)
Asylum Code: LIX (59)
Weapons:
The Lion’s Claw: Zane primarily fights with a greataxe that when not in use is kept on his back under his flannel shirt with the blades retracted. This axe is bladed on two sides and weighs a hefty 20lbs.
The Lion’s Shield: When not in use Zane’s shield is the size and shape of a half dollar coin with a lion face inscribed for the heads side and Z inscribed for the tails side. When in use the shield can attach to his left forearm and stretches the length of his forearm. The shield is rounded and has a sharp edge that is laced with anti-alchemy substance. The shield is tapered near his hand which allows him to stab someone if he were to punch them with that arm. When the shield is at its full size the inscribed lion is shown on the face of the shield.
Alchemy Specialization: Body enhancement: Zane is able to make his body into a living weapon by enhancing his body to become stronger and very durable.
Appearance: Given how lazy Zane is during his free time it can be a surprise to some that he hasn’t shown any signs of losing his muscular build which he gives credit to the strain his body receives from using his alch-spec. This strain can also be seen in his skin which is rugged similar as if he spent most of his life working outside. His arms are covered with light scars from past battles and he has a large diagonal scar across his back. Zane has copper shaggy hair and a well cared for beard.
Due to alch-spec causing him to grow larger Zane tends to wear custom clothes from AMRO that can grow and shrink to match his current size. Unless he needs to adapt his clothes to fit a mission he tends to wear a darker solid colored flannel shirt with a v-neck t-shirt underneath and darker colored jeans or black pants.
Personality:
“Do what you will to me. Burn me, cut me or break every finger and toe I have to try and make me talk. I’d love to see what fun creative ways you have to torture the information out of me. But I warn you that you, your family and anyone you value in your life will be begging for death if you hurt her. Hell, I’ll go after your dog if you make her shed a single tear.”
On a typical day Zane is a laid back man who enjoys a simple life with frequent naps or being lost in his thoughts and rarely signs up for extra work. He is someone that tends to speak calmly even in a state of distress and rarely holds back his thoughts or opinions. He tends to lean more towards pessimism but states that he is being a realist.
Zane is an open minded individual who enjoys learning how others think around him and learning why they choose their answers. His open curiosity can come off a bit strong to some and sometimes a bit argumentative when he plays devil’s advocate. However this openness tends to cause him to be willing to change his opinions if he is given a good counter argument that he can agree with. When riled up enough Zane does have a temper that he isn’t afraid of displaying.
Although Zane’s words can be a bit blunt at times, he is someone that genuinely cares for others. Zane will fight with all he has and even is willing to use his body as a shield for others. Since befriending Bella in Innocence he has been overprotective about her wellbeing. Some say that his alignment isn’t towards AMRO’s cause but rather being a sword and shield for Bella.
History: Being the oldest brother of three younger siblings, Zane frequently was the one helping his mother with his siblings after his father left when Zane was seven. He would be the one helping out with homework, scaring off bullies at the playground and making dinner when his mother had to work late to make ends meet. He took his job of protecting and caring for his siblings seriously.
This all ended when Zane was fourteen when four rogue alchemists came to his house looking for his father. While protecting his family his surge occurred, giving him the strength to kill one of the rogues and injure another. He was saved by a pair of asylums who were tracking the rogues but his family were dead by the time the rogues were apprehended. After this incident he was brought to Innocence.
Other: Zane has failed the final test at Innocence four times and has been one of the few failed students that came out unharmed. Some of his teachers believe it is because of his laziness and not doing well in school while others claimed that he intentionally tried to fail.
