FT: Rivals Unexpected Journey

Izushima Azari

The fox remained still within Kali's grip to avoid hurting his arm currently caught in the woman's straining grip. He could feel the pressure and tension in his arm rising with each passing second; uncertain of what the vile female would do though made sure to let her know he would make promise of his word by having tiny tinge of static crackling faintly along the trapped arm. Then he felt the increased pressure causing his body to tense up in preparation of the coming pain, his face wincing beneath the mask.

Each second ticked away like a bomb waiting to blow as Izu anticipated the intense pain soon to follow. Instead finding his arm released and shoved away, where he nearly stumbled onto the ground but caught his balance with a low grunt and stood up with a sigh." Good to see that birdbrain of yours understands the situation." His tone slightly condescending as he rolled his arm a few times finding that it was going to be sore for the night.

Much like Kali did, he was taking this chance to work on easing the the soreness of his shoulder even if just a little with some rubbing and stretching. He was flexing his clawed fingers; testing the feeling in his arm when Kali spoke up with an offer of a bargain. Hearing her proposition had him looking up at the sky to see that it was indeed about to become dark followed with an amusing talk of dangerous beasties in an attempt to sway the fox to accept her deal. Placing his hands on his hips with a tilt of the head, where he let out a low hum as if pondering over her suggestion." Hm, you got a good point there, birdy. Would be very tiresome dealing with them lurking nasties while dragging this deadweight." Motioning towards her with his thumb before shaking his head and glided over to the crouched woman.

A hand extended towards her seeming to reach for the cuffs only to find its way grabbing hold of her hair followed by a harsh pull forcing her to look up at his masked face." You must..one second." Stopping himself short with a muffled huff as he used his free hand to pull the mask off to reveal his pale face covered in beads of sweat with those bright yellow eyes faintly glowing in the growing darkness." This thing can get really stuffy for long wears.." He let out another small huff of annoyance while wiping off his face against the sleeve of his haori before tossing the mask aside on the ground for now." Now where was I? Oh yes, you were taking me for a fool." The hand keeping a grip on her hair pulled until she was forced to stand back up as the now freed hand wrapped around her slender neck with the tips of his clawed fingers resting against her smooth cheeks as the hold of her hair released." Your determination to get the cuffs off is impressive but there is one thing you keep forgetting." He leaned in closer till she could feel the heat of his breath." You're the captured criminal here!" He exclaimed, nearly spitting out the words as his other hand grabbed her arm and gave a small shake to have the cuffs clink against her bound wrists." You're the one cuffed and injured here and its my job to bring you back. And depending on how you cooperate will depend on whether you make it there alive or in good shape."

A small playful smirk curling his lips after reminding the troublesome hothead who held all the cards here. A faint roar coming from some unseen distance of the forest then reminded the fox of what she said about the beasts lurking within." Though you are correct about the creatures though of course, I can always choose to just abandon you to them and take this as a failed job. Simply have to tell the guild we got ambushed and overwhelmed." His clawed index finger gently tapped against her cheek as he told of having no qualms leaving her to the beasts as it would be no skin off his nose to let this job become a failure. A click of his teeth as he lightly dug his claws in, leaving scratches along her cheeks." I'm sure you don't want it to get to that so be a good girl and sit down and keep this horrid mouth of yours shut." Giving her cheek a small pat then returned the favor by shoving her down onto the ground." Long as we get along and don't make a fuss we will be left alone. And I'll be a nice guy and let you gather what magic you can to heal them ribs while I get a fire going. Make any attempt to get the cuffs off, however.." Wagging his finger in a no manner while letting static spark off the tip of the finger, a coy smile on the fox's face. With the hope that Kali understood, Izu moved to gather up wood, enough to make and keep a fire going for the night.

Fenixtear - A Fairy Tail RP

Menzai Isanami

The conversation between him and this woman had helped him to gain a basic understanding of the redhead. Learning throughout the conversation that much like he, she was ever a curious one; always observing and studying the surrounding but her mannerism and reason for doing so seemed to have a more meticulous approach. She might of been of kindred soul; one that he could possibly discuss such keen observations and understanding yet something about Alina felt off. Impossible for him to make into words why, whether it be his own canine instinct putting up a tiny iota of an inkling to be wary of the redhead. Even if she gave nothing to believe such or at least nothing easily discernable as she was still a stranger to him and if given time this peculiar warning may wane. Though one thing he was thankful for; an overt curious person that didn't push for him to tell an actual story of his past or concrete personal info and for that he held respect. A tinge of relief in his own face still obscured by the hood adorned over his head. Even moreso at having the topic change with Alina telling a statement he very much agreed." A statement I wholeheartedly agree with. An evening discussing topics over magic is one we will certainly be sharing after the ordeals of the job and whatever else may entail and follow afterwards." A slight nod of the head to show and ensure this promise will be fulfilled.

With their talk ended; Menzai had been very much content to walk in silence as much like Ms. Bloomfield he could discern she was not one for much idle chatter. Another opinion he shared as he walked alongside; enjoying just having a companion besides him on a long trek for once.

Hours passed before the two eventually arrived at the town of Petunia with a single look of the small town telling him more than enough. The place while small had more quaint and inviting feel; a place that a beastkin like him would find more comfortable to settle in as it lacked the unsettling smell of smog and oil to his nose's relief. Shortly after entering the town, did he decide he would let Alina take the lead with him being an outsider in more ways than one and lacked proper experience handling the details of the job.

And so, the wolf let his stride slacken slightly to allow the redhead to walk two steps ahead of him. Stopping briefly when she asked for directions though knew the whereabouts of the warehouse before she even returned, having heard their conversation.

Not that it bothered him having to walk another short stretch with the two already traveled nearly half the day just to reach the town. As long walks never bothered the wolf and if given the chance he would be fine walking from morning to night and enjoy every moment.

Along he walked; both following and observing to learn how meetings with the clients were to be handled. Much like Alina, he found himself surprised at the size of the warehouse which proved unexpected with a part of him curious of seeing its inside but this was not the time to wander off when a job took priority.

Merely stepping into the shop lead them to meeting with the client who turned out to be a kindly old man. A friendly wrinkled face with an aged body that gave off a mild myriad scent of flowers that gave away his countless years working with flowers. He was one to normally avoid large fields of flowers; not out of disgust but simply due to the overwhelming sweet and sometime spicy scents of the flowers uncomfortably tickling or burning his nostrils. Better for him they had no need to venture deep into the warehouse, but the client was purely inviting and pleasantly warm. For the time being lightly bowed his head in greeting, choosing to be quiet unless given a question or asked for introductions.

Magic

Cloudy Day

(Important note- due to the nature of how this magic uses natural weather elements to possibly boost the magic that before using in combat a dice roll to determine the weather/amount of cloud or request of a mod to state the weather beforehand or mix of both)

Cloudy day is a mix of creation and manipulation magic that allows the user to create and manipulate clouds of various types, shape and size and density. The user is able to draw in and compact water vapors to form clouds which he can use in various ways or store into his body for quick use in case of emergency use or reserves. Also capable of drawing in clouds from the sky to bolster and speed up his cloud creation and increasing their potency depending on how much is in the area or the type of cloud with the thicker type like nimbostratus offering the greatest boost. The thickness and density of his clouds correlate to his own body’s current size which connects to his secondary magic, gumball; enables him to withstand the otherwise harmful effects of static or electrical discharge from the clouds stored within his body. The greater the source of water is in the surrounding area the greater ease to create clouds with dryer locations requiring use of his reserves.

The clouds in his chubby form take the form of low-level clouds, often thicker and far more dense with a more fluffy appearance that while slower and lack impact in power, offer greater potential in defense or storing of weather effect. In his weight loss form, they generally take on the mixed form of high to mid level clouds being thinner and more wispy and though lose thickness and density gains speed and easier to control, enabling faster and harsher attacks.

Due to D’angelo’s laid attitude and approach, his magic’s original potential level is often only used at half its potential. Even as its user naturally has a high source of magic it tends to not be used thus causing lack of overall control. As a consequence from slacking on training, his emotions tend to be tied to the magic, making it so he has come to need keeping his emotions in check lest he cause drastic and harmful weather effects and that the strength of all his spells are only at half their usual strength.

Spells

Spells

Pegasus Nimbustratus - A fluffy ball of condensed cloud taken from a nimbostratus type, of average human size though its size can be adjusted by the user. A cloud gave a part of its life making it the strongest and most sturdy of all of D’angelo’s allowing it to withstand and take a lot of damage without being destroyed or dispersed. It has been made into his closest companion which the user rides as transport as it has capabilities of flight and can reach high speed and height. It's inside being hollow can be used as storage with temperature adjustments allows it to act like a fridge and freezer. Due to its cloud type, it is capable of creating rain or snow which it can make rain down on. As the cloud has given a will of its own it tends to do so when either playful or to show how it feels to people with rain being of dislike and snow as like. Unlike all other clouds, instead of being dispersed or stored, Nimbus is able to be sent off and be summoned. Nicknamed Nimbus

Magic puff bus- A nimbostratus cloud formed of a vehicle size. Mainly used for allies or storing a large number of objects with its inside made dry and comfortable. While not as sturdy and resilient as nimbus the thickness of the cloud can withstand an attack or two protecting its contents.

Cloudy Balloons- Manipulating and reshaping clouds that are summoned or created into various shapes reliant on the user’s imagination. Capable of shaping objects that can be used for support, fun or weapons.
Gumball Full stage spells

Majin Haze- By taking in a deep breath and using pressure, he is able to push clouds through the pores of his body to create a fine layer of fog. And by pulling the water vapors of the surrounding can thicken the fog. Unlike normal fog though, this haze makes the humidity gradually rise which can cause those within its area to sweat and drain away at their stamina faster than usual. Taking three turns to reach full humidity and thus has three stages
20%- Minor sweating and slight stamina drain
35%- moderate sweating, partial difficulty breathing and each action sapping 1.5 more energy from those trapped within.
50%- Heavy sweating and vision impairing with moderate-high difficulty breathing depending on the target’s health and state and amount of time caught within the haze. Each action doubles the amount of energy normally used, having a high stamina drain.

Puffostratus wall- Using either clouds formed around him or in his body that he can expel from his mouth to form a defensive thick nimbostratus wall of varying sizes to block attacks and spells. The more mass the cloud is given the greater its defensive capabilities of taking stronger attacks before breaking.

Puffostratus dragon den- Taking the clouds to form a dome around him and allies or such. Requires clouds in the vicinity to form. Much like the wall the mass of the clouds increases its defensive capabilities.

Cumulyon Tower- Requires clouds of the surrounding to form a large cloud tower around a set area to entrap those within and block off access to those outside. The outer parts of the cloud take on a darker color as the thickness, static and turbulent winds prevents attempts to break through. The inside layer while lighter becomes freezing cold causing those that attempt to touch it or try to go through to be slowly and gradually frozen. It’s size correlates to the amount of clouds in the vicinity. At max reaching a mile in height and quarter mile in thickness.

Cumulonimbus vers. chill fist- Forming and condensing clouds into that of a semi-giant fist with a partial arm. This version is freezing cold to touch and is capable of causing freezing on strikes or contact. Inside, hail can be formed to be fired from the palm or fingertips as projectiles. The user can choose at will whether to have it in solid or gaseous form with gaseous form having the target or objects go through it which can be used to trap within.

Cumulonimbus ver. Shock fist- Forming and condensing cloud into that of a semi-giant fist with a partial arm. This version is electrical charged and has the formed fist giving off static which can shock on impact or contact. The electricity can also be fired from the palm or fist with non-charge being at the level of tasers (50,000 volts) with charged bolts reaching upwards to one million volts. (requires 4 turn charge to reach 1mil volt)

Cumulonbomb- Whether using surrounding clouds or expelling from his mouth that he can condense into a small puffy cloud ball then thrown to be set off like a grenade. Inside, the ball either can have freezing water that can freeze up on contact and breaking or building up static reaching up to a max of 500k volt with the starting charge at 50k volt (three turn charge to reach 500k volt)

Solar Jungle- Can only be done during the day with the sun visible or around strong light. By adjusting the water vapors or crystals and using refraction of light. The user is able to have numerous intense beams of light set around the area that can cause painful burns. The brighter the sun the higher the beam’s intensity. Requires a cloudy haze around the area to maintain and control where the beams will form.

Cloudy Schultz- Manipulating clouds to form cloud clones that can take the form of the user or those he has seen but less he knows of the person the less accurate the clones appearance will turn out.. He is capable of creating three full solid clones capable of tanking attacks and doing major weaker versions of certain spells like cumulonbomb or smaller forms of cloud fists. Within them they can gather static or be freezing cold allowing for static shots or hail bombardments. Or able to create up to five non-solid clones that are easy to break but can quickly reform and are mainly use for confusion or distraction while doing minor shock or freezing touch. If there are natural clouds within the vicinity he can use them to double the amount of clones of up to 5 solid and 10 non-solid.

Static Minefield- A set up spell using other spells that use electricity and static to give the clouds of the surrounding a charge, making them active. When active, most parts of the cloud trigger a discharge shocking those within its confines with a volt of 25-50k. Requires charging of 3-5 turns with 5 turns to reach 50k volt static discharges.

Spells currently unattained, requiring full potential

Cloudy Schultz boy- When a single clone is created that is much more dense and durable than creating multiple clones. Unlike when doing multiple clones, this single clone will be filled with water that will gradually rise in temperature and boil as it takes damage until it eventually explodes sending out a rain of scalding hot water burning those caught under its rain. The water after cooling can be used to reform into a cloud though takes time to reform Schultz boy. (three turn cooldown after exploding)

Nimbo Golem- Using nimbostratus clouds to form into a large to giant cloud golem depending on access of natural clouds that its user can control to fight. The user can choose to be inside or outside the golem as it can use a myriad of his other spells while using the golem like shock and chill fist, cumulonbomb and such though use of golem prevents use of forming and controlling other clouds while its active. Its mass and density can either improve its size or durability with greater potential depending on the amount of natural clouds in the vicinity.

Nimbo Storm- By having a heavy nimbostratus cloud form above the area that is extremely thick and blocks out the sun completely. With these clouds, the user is able to cause a powerful and turbulent rainstorm that can impair vision and drench those beneath the clouds. The rain can be made into freezing rain to cause slow and gradual freezing and depending on the intensity of the wind make out sounds. (require two turn charge to form, one if natural clouds abundant in the area)

Cumulon Seed- A highly condensed cumulonimbus cloud seed that continues to build up electricity that the user forms out of sight of enemies or targets. The seed itself does nothing but act as a catalyst that once charged up then can be set into the clouds in the sky to form into powerful thunder clouds. The seed needs five minutes minimum to charge with ten minutes to reach its strongest and deadliest potential.

Gumball Full Stage Ultimate

Judgement of Zeus- Requires cumulon seed to have been charged altered the clouds. Once the catalyst is formed, the user fires a static infused ball at the designated target. Acting as a target to summon and call down a deadly bolt of lightning. At five minute charge it holds a power of 10m volts. At a maximum ten minute charge it can reach up to 250mil-300mill volt and comes down as a massive lightning beam. Going past 7 minute charge though is not advisable as even D’angelo’s body can not withstand the blast and proves deadly and highly fatal were he caught up in it. At maximum charge, the range of the tremendous bolt can reach a diameter size of half a mile.

Gumball Starved Stage Spells

Poseidon’s Spear- Taking and compressing clouds into a cumulonimbus cloud in the shape of a spear. Its inside is of freezing temperature that can cause freezing and ice to form from the points of contact made with the tip. Being highly condensed clouds make it hard and sturdy as steel with the user able to freely keep it solid or gaseous.

Zeus’s Blade- Taking and compressing cumulonimbus cloud into the jagged form of a jagged lightning bolt sword. It has electricity forming and charging starting 50k volts which can build up 500k after three turns. While it is called a blade, it actually lacks sharpness but uses the intense heat of the electricity contained within to inflict burned cuts and is able to cause powerful shocks on physical contact of skin or metal weapon/objects.

Athena’s Shield- Taking and compressing into a thin and round fluffy nimbostratus shield. Being far more compressed than a puff wall making it harder than steel. The shield’s durability allows it to withstand powerful attacks both physical and magical with the side held given a weak static effect. Using this to allow the user to throw the shield and pull back to his hand with the range of this effect being 15 feet.

Hermes Sneakers- Taking and compressing clouds around his feet. The soft inner side being insulated to help protect against the static in the air and disperse into the ground long as he makes contact with the ground. Using these to prevent static from building too much on his body and lessening the injuries and burns if left alone while in starved state. The soles of the cloudy shoes can be changed to decrease or increase friction to further increase his speed while also aiding in stopping himself to keep from losing control of his body when moving too much. Thanks to the lightness of the clouds and the user, it offers the ability to let the user hover and levitate up to 15ft off the ground allowing for aerial maneuver.

Heracles Fists- Taking and compressing clouds to form around his hands like cloud gauntlets. Thickly formed clouds meant to protect his hand from the static and freezing effect of other cloud weapons as well as make it capable of holding and wielding Mjolnir. Also offers protection to the knuckles to prevent the risk of bones breaking from landing strikes and blows with the enhanced attacks from the stored energy released.

Unusable without using full potential

Gumball Starved State Ultimate

Wrath of Mjolnir- Requires the cumulon seed to be formed and at the minimum charge of five turns. By taking and compressing all the clouds in the surrounding area around the seed to form and condense as many layers as possible around the seed. Requires Heracles Fists to be active in order to wield the weapon. The seed acting as a catalyst turns the clouds into a tremendously powerful cumulonimbus cloud shaped in the legend of mjolnir. The highly condensed clouds make the hammer far harder than steel making it highly difficult to break or destroy and it is advised to avoid doing so as doing so will release all electrical power trapped within. Even with all the countless layers and his resistance to electricity, the immense heat of the bolts gradually seep through, eventually causing burns on the user’s hands forcing a limit to how long the user can hold and control it. At the base 10 mil volts, it can be held and used for five turns and at max 50 mil volts (seven turn charge of the seed) at only three turns. With the burns becoming far more painful and worse on the 50 mil volts.

The hammer when clashing can send out powerful shocks with the strong static allowing it to be pulled back to his hands with a range of 30ft distance from the user. The user can also fire bolts of lightning from the hammer with the volts capable of being adjusted and use of this attack lessens the risk of burning though also weakens the hammer’s hardness. Can be used over the turn limit but the damage to the palms gradually increase and worsen with each turn after.

Chewey Gumball

Chewy Gumball

This secondary magic is one that allows its user to take in and store fat which causes the body to take on the property of gum and rubber. With the fat stored, the body becomes capable of taking blunt attacks whether physical or magical and absorbing most if not all the energy and impact of each blow. As the user gradually withstands attacks; fat gets burned causing the person’s weight to decrease, lessening the gum effect of the body. In loss of the rubbery body, the skinner body hardens akin to the shell of gumballs and gains the capabilities of using the kinetic energy stored to gain a big boost in mobility and strength with its effect lasting depending on how much kinetic energy he has taken or until his body gives out. A bonus side-effect of this magic is that it offers insulation; granting him high resistance to electricity, heat and cold, allowing him to withstand the discharge and coldness of his clouds' weather effects to a certain degree.

Due to the effect of this magic it gives the user two stages
Full- The user body in its normal chubby state that allows for greater size cloud type spells. While lacking in power and often requires charge or build up time but capable of doing aoe and large size forms.
Starved- The user in its skiny state after the majority of the fat in the body has been burned away. Offers an increase in physical attributes such as speed and strength. In this state, the user is unable to control large masses excluding those already active such as cumulyon tower causing the loss of large or aoe type cloud spells. Yet, in this state the user is able to form rapid smaller and condensed clouds that can be shaped and used as weapons.

Spells

Spells

(side note that gumball’s spells are passive types)

Gummy Bear- The passive spell for full stage form which allows the user to take and store fat and energy into the body. Mixing magic into the stored fat has it make the user’s body take on the soft and malleable property of gum and rubber. With this, the body is capable of taking blunt attacks whether physical/magical or weapon as they sink into his fit as 70% of the force gets absorbed when at full. The amount that can be stored slowly decreases as the fat gets burned away with each attack eventually only taking in 35% causing the damage to the body to worsen bit by bit. As a bonus to the soft gummy body, allows the body to stretch out to a certain degree enabling the user to store more clouds in the body. The rubbery skin in turns offers insulation and high resistance to static and cold but even this has its limits and can’t protect against intense or extreme cold and electricity.

Bloated Bear- Requires sucking in a large quantity of clouds into the body. In doing so causes the body to inflate and puff up like a balloon. In the cost of losing mobility and ability to use big cloud spells, the user gains far superior defensive capabilities. Able to absorb up 95% of attacks energy and protect again stabbing or sharp type attacks excluding powerful versions.

Sour Patch- The passive spell for starved stage form where the user has lost the majority of the fat stored in the body. And with it the malleable gummy body making the user unable to simply tank and absorb attacks and kinetic energy though keeps the rubbery skin to insulate against the static and cold. In this state, the user is able to unleash the stored kinetic energy from attacks up to this point to gain a great boost in physical capabilities depending on how much he has absorbed to reach a starved stage. While in this stage, the user loses most of the large and aoe type spells but is able to compress and condense clouds far more efficiently and quickly with the boost in power. Able to last between 6-8 turns and or until the user is knocked unconscious and often leaves the body heavily fatigued afterwards.

Personality

Personality

Ask anyone that knows or has spoken with D’angelo and they will tell you that he shines bright as the sun. A very cheerful and sunny type of individual who is often more than not seen with a dazzling smile on his pudgy cheeks. Some would go as far as to say they have never seen him sad or angry and if he sees others in such a mood he does not hesitate to try and cheer them up in some way. Whether it by giving them someone to listen to or help laugh or give a needed snack to fill a grumpy stomach. D’angelo is not ashamed of his chubby body and doesn’t let insults get him down; preferring to settle things in a peaceful and friendly manner.

His kind and friendly demeanor has made him rather charismatic and charming that others tend to be unable to hate or dislike him. Always eager to make new friends and enjoys spending his days having fun and hanging out. He is also known to be very laid back and chill; preferring to relax and lounge about on his clouds and due to this often slacks off and does not bother putting much effort into tasks or work. Because of this, the high potential of his magic is not utilized well and wasted causing him to be seen as a subpar mage and hated by his own family.

History

History

The Schultz family, one of several of the branches that has been second in power and wealth to the Waltz family for years. Generations of the family have been attempting to sire a heir that could finally gain them the opportunity to finally overtake the main branch and with it the trading company. And after years, their efforts seemed to have finally gained fruition in the birth of D’angelo who even as a baby had always had some weight to him. While his appearance was less than ideal, the potential magic within his body proved to hold the highest potential in the long history of the Schultz line and through him hoped to finally begin their plans to take over.

Not a moment after D’angelo became able to walk did he get pushed into an intense daily curriculum easily considered too much for a child so young. As his family were determined to mold and shape him into the perfect businessman and weapon to take down the head family. This left the next five years extremely taxing and exhausting on D’angelo; given hardly any time to himself or breaks to enjoy his favorite snacks or have fun. This continued on until he finally collapsed from the exhaustion and stress and which resulted in a high fever that very nearly killed the poor boy.

After barely surviving the week and a half fever, the family were thankfully forced to have their son stay with them for the few years to allow him to properly rest and recuperate. Unlike his own family, they were accepting and very kind to him and nothing like the way his parents described them to be. And it was in this move that he came to meet Nolan who was not only accepting but happy to have him staying with them. It was through Nolan that he was taught how to have fun; allowed to actually be a kid as he easily became close with him. Realizing the things he was told to be lies as Nolan and the main branch treated him like one of their own and never shamed about his body or weight, coming to learn not only how to laugh but at himself and since meeting his best friend and cousin he had no reason to feel sad again.

Living with the Waltz family had taught him much and made it possible for him to return to the Schultz household as he knew he would be fine. Since returning though, he never wanted to feel as awful and horrible as the day he became sick or of how his family made him feel and would not let them treat him as a tool. With the help of the Waltz family endorsement it kept his parents from attempting to work him like they had done prior nor were they able to keep him from being friends with Nolan. Coming to enjoy spending time with his cousin and friends made so much that he no longer cared about the future or cared about a future career as he only wanted to have fun and spread the cheer that the Waltz family gave to him.

The last time D’angelo would be seen physically sad would be the tragedy and loss of Nolan and his parents. The lost of his first and closest friend would be the most painful and saddest day of his life, the first time losing the smile; a gift from them he promised would never lose again, wanting to cherish everything they did for him. Promising to himself he wouldn’t lose his cheer again, especially after the incident of the storm that nearly destroyed his home brought upon by his intense sadness.

With the loss of the main Waltz family members, his parents saw this as an opportunity to send their son off to a boarding school. Doing so in the hopes to instill discipline and proper work ethics into him once more to try and resume their take-over of the company. Yet, even losing his best friend did not dishearten him and only strengthen his belief and determination to live how he wanted. And so, D’angelo instead chose to only do the bare minimum; putting his focus and attention instead on making friends and helping others while making sure to do enough to not be kicked out of school or draw his parents attention.

Getting to enjoy an easygoing life throughout his stay at the school and by the time his parents finally took notice it had been too late. His graduation was fast approaching though he had been uncertain of what he would do or where he would go afterwards with his fellow friends and classmates talking of their desired job and others excited to join a guild. These kinds of thoughts never really went through his mind as he didn’t really care where he ended up as he enjoyed going with the flow too much. Though several had suggested he join a guild and while he had an unexpectedly rare magic type which by no means seemed to be strong but could serve as great support. Yet, he never really had much interest in guilds or guildwork, finding it to be too much work and time consuming.

These thoughts, however, would change the day he came to watch the latest GMG on the urging of his schoolmates. A decision that would lead him to not only discover Nolan to be alive but to be powerful..scary powerful. But unlike his friends who were trembling; terrified at witnessing such terrifying magic and its horrible use, D’angelo could only help but be proud and absolutely elated to see his best friend alive though it sadden and made his heart ache to see the bright and kind person Nolan used to be was replaced with this angry and grumpy stranger.

It was then; at that moment that he was finally able to make a decision. Once he graduated, he would set out to find Nolan to catch up and reunite with his closest friend, even if that meant joining a guild.

A promise to bring back a smile on that lonely face like he did for him.

Three Weaknesses

Three Weaknesses

-Overly trusting: While a good thing to trust he also trusts too much making it too often that he gets tricked or used.

-Lack of Motivation: Finds that it is often too much effort to put in work doing tasks or jobs or studying that he often only puts in half the work or sometimes doesn’t finish which left him with average to poor grades and inhibiting his own magic.

-Pacifist: While being kind and helpful is a good thing, he tries to avoid doing what needs to be needed at times and always going the peaceful approach as he doesn’t like violence and hurting others physically and emotionally. Preferring to be supportive and cheering up but leads to making fights breaking out or escalating things unintentionally.

Greatest Love

Bringing smiles to others faces and showing others how to find their childlike wonder again.

Motivation

Currently has no real motivation other than to help his best cousin gain back his genuine smile.

Cloudy Day

(Important note- due to the nature of how this magic uses natural weather elements to possibly boost the magic that before using in combat a dice roll to determine the weather/amount of cloud or request of a mod to state the weather beforehand or mix of both)

Cloudy day is a mix of creation and manipulation magic that allows the user to create and manipulate clouds of various types, shape and size and density. The user is able to draw in and compact water vapors to form clouds which he can use in various ways or store into his body for quick use in case of emergency use or reserves. Also capable of drawing in clouds from the sky to bolster and speed up his cloud creation and increasing their potency depending on how much is in the area or the type of cloud with the thicker type like nimbostratus offering the greatest boost. The thickness and density of his clouds correlate to his own body’s current size which connects to his secondary magic, gumball; enables him to withstand the otherwise harmful effects of static or electrical discharge from the clouds stored within his body. The greater the source of water is in the surrounding area the greater ease to create clouds with dryer locations requiring use of his reserves.

The clouds in his chubby form take the form of low-level clouds, often thicker and far more dense with a more fluffy appearance that while slower and lack impact in power, offer greater potential in defense or storing of weather effect. In his weight loss form, they generally take on the mixed form of high to mid level clouds being thinner and more wispy and though lose thickness and density gains speed and easier to control, enabling faster and harsher attacks.

Due to D’angelo’s laid attitude and approach, his magic’s original potential level is often only used at half its potential. Even as its user naturally has a high source of magic it tends to not be used thus causing lack of overall control. As a consequence from slacking on training, his emotions tend to be tied to the magic, making it so he has come to need keeping his emotions in check lest he cause drastic and harmful weather effects and that the strength of all his spells are only at half their usual strength.

Spells

Spells

Pegasus Nimbustratus - A fluffy ball of condensed cloud taken from a nimbostratus type, of average human size though its size can be adjusted by the user. A cloud gave a part of its life making it the strongest and most sturdy of all of D’angelo’s allowing it to withstand and take a lot of damage without being destroyed or dispersed. It has been made into his closest companion which the user rides as transport as it has capabilities of flight and can reach high speed and height. It's inside being hollow can be used as storage with temperature adjustments allows it to act like a fridge and freezer. Due to its cloud type, it is capable of creating rain or snow which it can make rain down on. As the cloud has given a will of its own it tends to do so when either playful or to show how it feels to people with rain being of dislike and snow as like. Unlike all other clouds, instead of being dispersed or stored, Nimbus is able to be sent off and be summoned. Nicknamed Nimbus

Magic puff bus- A nimbostratus cloud formed of a vehicle size. Mainly used for allies or storing a large number of objects with its inside made dry and comfortable. While not as sturdy and resilient as nimbus the thickness of the cloud can withstand an attack or two protecting its contents.

Cloudy Balloons- Manipulating and reshaping clouds that are summoned or created into various shapes reliant on the user’s imagination. Capable of shaping objects that can be used for support, fun or weapons.
Gumball Full stage spells

Majin Haze- By taking in a deep breath and using pressure, he is able to push clouds through the pores of his body to create a fine layer of fog. And by pulling the water vapors of the surrounding can thicken the fog. Unlike normal fog though, this haze makes the humidity gradually rise which can cause those within its area to sweat and drain away at their stamina faster than usual. Taking three turns to reach full humidity and thus has three stages
20%- Minor sweating and slight stamina drain
35%- moderate sweating, partial difficulty breathing and each action sapping 1.5 more energy from those trapped within.
50%- Heavy sweating and vision impairing with moderate-high difficulty breathing depending on the target’s health and state and amount of time caught within the haze. Each action doubles the amount of energy normally used, having a high stamina drain.

Puffostratus wall- Using either clouds formed around him or in his body that he can expel from his mouth to form a defensive thick nimbostratus wall of varying sizes to block attacks and spells. The more mass the cloud is given the greater its defensive capabilities of taking stronger attacks before breaking.

Puffostratus dragon den- Taking the clouds to form a dome around him and allies or such. Requires clouds in the vicinity to form. Much like the wall the mass of the clouds increases its defensive capabilities.

Cumulyon Tower- Requires clouds of the surrounding to form a large cloud tower around a set area to entrap those within and block off access to those outside. The outer parts of the cloud take on a darker color as the thickness, static and turbulent winds prevents attempts to break through. The inside layer while lighter becomes freezing cold causing those that attempt to touch it or try to go through to be slowly and gradually frozen. It’s size correlates to the amount of clouds in the vicinity. At max reaching a mile in height and quarter mile in thickness.

Cumulonimbus vers. chill fist- Forming and condensing clouds into that of a semi-giant fist with a partial arm. This version is freezing cold to touch and is capable of causing freezing on strikes or contact. Inside, hail can be formed to be fired from the palm or fingertips as projectiles. The user can choose at will whether to have it in solid or gaseous form with gaseous form having the target or objects go through it which can be used to trap within.

Cumulonimbus ver. Shock fist- Forming and condensing cloud into that of a semi-giant fist with a partial arm. This version is electrical charged and has the formed fist giving off static which can shock on impact or contact. The electricity can also be fired from the palm or fist with non-charge being at the level of tasers (50,000 volts) with charged bolts reaching upwards to one million volts. (requires 4 turn charge to reach 1mil volt)

Cumulonbomb- Whether using surrounding clouds or expelling from his mouth that he can condense into a small puffy cloud ball then thrown to be set off like a grenade. Inside, the ball either can have freezing water that can freeze up on contact and breaking or building up static reaching up to a max of 500k volt with the starting charge at 50k volt (three turn charge to reach 500k volt)

Solar Jungle- Can only be done during the day with the sun visible or around strong light. By adjusting the water vapors or crystals and using refraction of light. The user is able to have numerous intense beams of light set around the area that can cause painful burns. The brighter the sun the higher the beam’s intensity. Requires a cloudy haze around the area to maintain and control where the beams will form.

Cloudy Schultz- Manipulating clouds to form cloud clones that can take the form of the user or those he has seen but less he knows of the person the less accurate the clones appearance will turn out.. He is capable of creating three full solid clones capable of tanking attacks and doing major weaker versions of certain spells like cumulonbomb or smaller forms of cloud fists. Within them they can gather static or be freezing cold allowing for static shots or hail bombardments. Or able to create up to five non-solid clones that are easy to break but can quickly reform and are mainly use for confusion or distraction while doing minor shock or freezing touch. If there are natural clouds within the vicinity he can use them to double the amount of clones of up to 5 solid and 10 non-solid.

Static Minefield- A set up spell using other spells that use electricity and static to give the clouds of the surrounding a charge, making them active. When active, most parts of the cloud trigger a discharge shocking those within its confines with a volt of 25-50k. Requires charging of 3-5 turns with 5 turns to reach 50k volt static discharges.

Spells currently unattained, requiring full potential

Cloudy Schultz boy- When a single clone is created that is much more dense and durable than creating multiple clones. Unlike when doing multiple clones, this single clone will be filled with water that will gradually rise in temperature and boil as it takes damage until it eventually explodes sending out a rain of scalding hot water burning those caught under its rain. The water after cooling can be used to reform into a cloud though takes time to reform Schultz boy. (three turn cooldown after exploding)

Nimbo Golem- Using nimbostratus clouds to form into a large to giant cloud golem depending on access of natural clouds that its user can control to fight. The user can choose to be inside or outside the golem as it can use a myriad of his other spells while using the golem like shock and chill fist, cumulonbomb and such though use of golem prevents use of forming and controlling other clouds while its active. Its mass and density can either improve its size or durability with greater potential depending on the amount of natural clouds in the vicinity.

Nimbo Storm- By having a heavy nimbostratus cloud form above the area that is extremely thick and blocks out the sun completely. With these clouds, the user is able to cause a powerful and turbulent rainstorm that can impair vision and drench those beneath the clouds. The rain can be made into freezing rain to cause slow and gradual freezing and depending on the intensity of the wind make out sounds. (require two turn charge to form, one if natural clouds abundant in the area)

Cumulon Seed- A highly condensed cumulonimbus cloud seed that continues to build up electricity that the user forms out of sight of enemies or targets. The seed itself does nothing but act as a catalyst that once charged up then can be set into the clouds in the sky to form into powerful thunder clouds. The seed needs five minutes minimum to charge with ten minutes to reach its strongest and deadliest potential.

Gumball Full Stage Ultimate

Judgement of Zeus- Requires cumulon seed to have been charged altered the clouds. Once the catalyst is formed, the user fires a static infused ball at the designated target. Acting as a target to summon and call down a deadly bolt of lightning. At five minute charge it holds a power of 10m volts. At a maximum ten minute charge it can reach up to 250mil-300mill volt and comes down as a massive lightning beam. Going past 7 minute charge though is not advisable as even D’angelo’s body can not withstand the blast and proves deadly and highly fatal were he caught up in it. At maximum charge, the range of the tremendous bolt can reach a diameter size of half a mile.

Gumball Starved Stage Spells

Poseidon’s Spear- Taking and compressing clouds into a cumulonimbus cloud in the shape of a spear. Its inside is of freezing temperature that can cause freezing and ice to form from the points of contact made with the tip. Being highly condensed clouds make it hard and sturdy as steel with the user able to freely keep it solid or gaseous.

Zeus’s Blade- Taking and compressing cumulonimbus cloud into the jagged form of a jagged lightning bolt sword. It has electricity forming and charging starting 50k volts which can build up 500k after three turns. While it is called a blade, it actually lacks sharpness but uses the intense heat of the electricity contained within to inflict burned cuts and is able to cause powerful shocks on physical contact of skin or metal weapon/objects.

Athena’s Shield- Taking and compressing into a thin and round fluffy nimbostratus shield. Being far more compressed than a puff wall making it harder than steel. The shield’s durability allows it to withstand powerful attacks both physical and magical with the side held given a weak static effect. Using this to allow the user to throw the shield and pull back to his hand with the range of this effect being 15 feet.

Hermes Sneakers- Taking and compressing clouds around his feet. The soft inner side being insulated to help protect against the static in the air and disperse into the ground long as he makes contact with the ground. Using these to prevent static from building too much on his body and lessening the injuries and burns if left alone while in starved state. The soles of the cloudy shoes can be changed to decrease or increase friction to further increase his speed while also aiding in stopping himself to keep from losing control of his body when moving too much. Thanks to the lightness of the clouds and the user, it offers the ability to let the user hover and levitate up to 15ft off the ground allowing for aerial maneuver.

Heracles Fists- Taking and compressing clouds to form around his hands like cloud gauntlets. Thickly formed clouds meant to protect his hand from the static and freezing effect of other cloud weapons as well as make it capable of holding and wielding Mjolnir. Also offers protection to the knuckles to prevent the risk of bones breaking from landing strikes and blows with the enhanced attacks from the stored energy released.

Unusable without using full potential

Gumball Starved State Ultimate

Wrath of Mjolnir- Requires the cumulon seed to be formed and at the minimum charge of five turns. By taking and compressing all the clouds in the surrounding area around the seed to form and condense as many layers as possible around the seed. Requires Heracles Fists to be active in order to wield the weapon. The seed acting as a catalyst turns the clouds into a tremendously powerful cumulonimbus cloud shaped in the legend of mjolnir. The highly condensed clouds make the hammer far harder than steel making it highly difficult to break or destroy and it is advised to avoid doing so as doing so will release all electrical power trapped within. Even with all the countless layers and his resistance to electricity, the immense heat of the bolts gradually seep through, eventually causing burns on the user’s hands forcing a limit to how long the user can hold and control it. At the base 10 mil volts, it can be held and used for five turns and at max 50 mil volts (seven turn charge of the seed) at only three turns. With the burns becoming far more painful and worse on the 50 mil volts.

The hammer when clashing can send out powerful shocks with the strong static allowing it to be pulled back to his hands with a range of 30ft distance from the user. The user can also fire bolts of lightning from the hammer with the volts capable of being adjusted and use of this attack lessens the risk of burning though also weakens the hammer’s hardness. Can be used over the turn limit but the damage to the palms gradually increase and worsen with each turn after.

Magic

Chewey Gumball

Chewy Gumball

This secondary magic is one that allows its user to take in and store fat which causes the body to take on the property of gum and rubber. With the fat stored, the body becomes capable of taking blunt attacks whether physical or magical and absorbing most if not all the energy and impact of each blow. As the user gradually withstands attacks; fat gets burned causing the person’s weight to decrease, lessening the gum effect of the body. In loss of the rubbery body, the skinner body hardens akin to the shell of gumballs and gains the capabilities of using the kinetic energy stored to gain a big boost in mobility and strength with its effect lasting depending on how much kinetic energy he has taken or until his body gives out. A bonus side-effect of this magic is that it offers insulation; granting him high resistance to electricity, heat and cold, allowing him to withstand the discharge and coldness of his clouds' weather effects to a certain degree.

Due to the effect of this magic it gives the user two stages
Full- The user body in its normal chubby state that allows for greater size cloud type spells. While lacking in power and often requires charge or build up time but capable of doing aoe and large size forms.
Starved- The user in its skiny state after the majority of the fat in the body has been burned away. Offers an increase in physical attributes such as speed and strength. In this state, the user is unable to control large masses excluding those already active such as cumulyon tower causing the loss of large or aoe type cloud spells. Yet, in this state the user is able to form rapid smaller and condensed clouds that can be shaped and used as weapons.

Spells

(side note that gumball’s spells are passive types)

Gummy Bear- The passive spell for full stage form which allows the user to take and store fat and energy into the body. Mixing magic into the stored fat has it make the user’s body take on the soft and malleable property of gum and rubber. With this, the body is capable of taking blunt attacks whether physical/magical or weapon as they sink into his fit as 70% of the force gets absorbed when at full. The amount that can be stored slowly decreases as the fat gets burned away with each attack eventually only taking in 35% causing the damage to the body to worsen bit by bit. As a bonus to the soft gummy body, allows the body to stretch out to a certain degree enabling the user to store more clouds in the body. The rubbery skin in turns offers insulation and high resistance to static and cold but even this has its limits and can’t protect against intense or extreme cold and electricity.

Bloated Bear- Requires sucking in a large quantity of clouds into the body. In doing so causes the body to inflate and puff up like a balloon. In the cost of losing mobility and ability to use big cloud spells, the user gains far superior defensive capabilities. Able to absorb up 95% of attacks energy and protect again stabbing or sharp type attacks excluding powerful versions.

Sour Patch- The passive spell for starved stage form where the user has lost the majority of the fat stored in the body. And with it the malleable gummy body making the user unable to simply tank and absorb attacks and kinetic energy though keeps the rubbery skin to insulate against the static and cold. In this state, the user is able to unleash the stored kinetic energy from attacks up to this point to gain a great boost in physical capabilities depending on how much he has absorbed to reach a starved stage. While in this stage, the user loses most of the large and aoe type spells but is able to compress and condense clouds far more efficiently and quickly with the boost in power. Able to last between 6-8 turns and or until the user is knocked unconscious and often leaves the body heavily fatigued afterwards.

Personality

Personality

Ask anyone that knows or has spoken with D’angelo and they will tell you that he shines bright as the sun. A very cheerful and sunny type of individual who is often more than not seen with a dazzling smile on his pudgy cheeks. Some would go as far as to say they have never seen him sad or angry and if he sees others in such a mood he does not hesitate to try and cheer them up in some way. Whether it by giving them someone to listen to or help laugh or give a needed snack to fill a grumpy stomach. D’angelo is not ashamed of his chubby body and doesn’t let insults get him down; preferring to settle things in a peaceful and friendly manner.

His kind and friendly demeanor has made him rather charismatic and charming that others tend to be unable to hate or dislike him. Always eager to make new friends and enjoys spending his days having fun and hanging out. He is also known to be very laid back and chill; preferring to relax and lounge about on his clouds and due to this often slacks off and does not bother putting much effort into tasks or work. Because of this, the high potential of his magic is not utilized well and wasted causing him to be seen as a subpar mage and hated by his own family.

History

History

The Schultz family, one of several of the branches that has been second in power and wealth to the Waltz family for years. Generations of the family have been attempting to sire a heir that could finally gain them the opportunity to finally overtake the main branch and with it the trading company. And after years, their efforts seemed to have finally gained fruition in the birth of D’angelo who even as a baby had always had some weight to him. While his appearance was less than ideal, the potential magic within his body proved to hold the highest potential in the long history of the Schultz line and through him hoped to finally begin their plans to take over.

Not a moment after D’angelo became able to walk did he get pushed into an intense daily curriculum easily considered too much for a child so young. As his family were determined to mold and shape him into the perfect businessman and weapon to take down the head family. This left the next five years extremely taxing and exhausting on D’angelo; given hardly any time to himself or breaks to enjoy his favorite snacks or have fun. This continued on until he finally collapsed from the exhaustion and stress and which resulted in a high fever that very nearly killed the poor boy.

After barely surviving the week and a half fever, the family were thankfully forced to have their son stay with them for the few years to allow him to properly rest and recuperate. Unlike his own family, they were accepting and very kind to him and nothing like the way his parents described them to be. And it was in this move that he came to meet Nolan who was not only accepting but happy to have him staying with them. It was through Nolan that he was taught how to have fun; allowed to actually be a kid as he easily became close with him. Realizing the things he was told to be lies as Nolan and the main branch treated him like one of their own and never shamed about his body or weight, coming to learn not only how to laugh but at himself and since meeting his best friend and cousin he had no reason to feel sad again.

Living with the Waltz family had taught him much and made it possible for him to return to the Schultz household as he knew he would be fine. Since returning though, he never wanted to feel as awful and horrible as the day he became sick or of how his family made him feel and would not let them treat him as a tool. With the help of the Waltz family endorsement it kept his parents from attempting to work him like they had done prior nor were they able to keep him from being friends with Nolan. Coming to enjoy spending time with his cousin and friends made so much that he no longer cared about the future or cared about a future career as he only wanted to have fun and spread the cheer that the Waltz family gave to him.

The last time D’angelo would be seen physically sad would be the tragedy and loss of Nolan and his parents. The lost of his first and closest friend would be the most painful and saddest day of his life, the first time losing the smile; a gift from them he promised would never lose again, wanting to cherish everything they did for him. Promising to himself he wouldn’t lose his cheer again, especially after the incident of the storm that nearly destroyed his home brought upon by his intense sadness.

With the loss of the main Waltz family members, his parents saw this as an opportunity to send their son off to a boarding school. Doing so in the hopes to instill discipline and proper work ethics into him once more to try and resume their take-over of the company. Yet, even losing his best friend did not dishearten him and only strengthen his belief and determination to live how he wanted. And so, D’angelo instead chose to only do the bare minimum; putting his focus and attention instead on making friends and helping others while making sure to do enough to not be kicked out of school or draw his parents attention.

Getting to enjoy an easygoing life throughout his stay at the school and by the time his parents finally took notice it had been too late. His graduation was fast approaching though he had been uncertain of what he would do or where he would go afterwards with his fellow friends and classmates talking of their desired job and others excited to join a guild. These kinds of thoughts never really went through his mind as he didn’t really care where he ended up as he enjoyed going with the flow too much. Though several had suggested he join a guild and while he had an unexpectedly rare magic type which by no means seemed to be strong but could serve as great support. Yet, he never really had much interest in guilds or guildwork, finding it to be too much work and time consuming.

These thoughts, however, would change the day he came to watch the latest GMG on the urging of his schoolmates. A decision that would lead him to not only discover Nolan to be alive but to be powerful..scary powerful. But unlike his friends who were trembling; terrified at witnessing such terrifying magic and its horrible use, D’angelo could only help but be proud and absolutely elated to see his best friend alive though it sadden and made his heart ache to see the bright and kind person Nolan used to be was replaced with this angry and grumpy stranger.

It was then; at that moment that he was finally able to make a decision. Once he graduated, he would set out to find Nolan to catch up and reunite with his closest friend, even if that meant joining a guild.

A promise to bring back a smile on that lonely face like he did for him.

Menzai Isanami

He could only nod in agreement to her statement with his head shifting slightly towards her direction." Yes, such as it is for any outsider attempting to learn and understand the culture and politics unknown to them. Yet, I am in no rush and so can take my time in studying the mannerism and habits of humans with this festival proving optimal opportunity for such." Again the wolf gave a nod of his head after hearing the analogy exemplifying his own musing of the festival's purpose.

This had proven to be a beneficial conversation with him gleaning some details on how humans spent their time albeit partial. To garner more, he simply needed to experience the festive events himself and plans to do so after the pair finished with the safe delivery of these flowers.

So much to learn and research regarding humans and the outside world though he was free to go about it at his pace; free to enjoy himself as he did so. And even within the village, Menzai had always been one of the more perspective kins, catching and noticing things that well trained and astute eyes might fail to see.

His eyes; sharper than a hawk, filled with curiosity and mystique and always shifting to take in as much of the world around him. A gaze that took in the shape, color, size of everything that came into view in search of understanding or to find any irregularities for to him all things carried a story and at times told more than what words could convey. If not for such an observant eye, he would certainly have missed Alina's sudden strange action.

One that lasted for the briefest of a second; witnessing her body freezing as if his statement of observation took her off-guard and caused a momentary shutdown. It was peculiar to get such a reaction from simply stating her lack of interest in the festival prompting him to raise an eyebrow in an curious manner. Choosing not to push the matter, however and hoped that would be the end of it so that they could continue discussion on the surrounding event.

To his dismay, the redheaded woman instead began telling him personal details of her past. He took in a slow deep breath to keep from sighing as a part of him regretting mentioning his observation as he should of known doing so lead to these kind of personal talk. Since as a child he held an aversion over hearing others talk about their personal life or problems with the only two special exceptions being back home. Still, he was always taught to be respectful and as such made sure to listen to every word while keeping any sign of disinterest in his expression taking an effort.

Waiting for her to finish as any respectful person might do before choosing to chime in." So a family of merchants? Quite understandable why one of such upbringing such as yours gain a dislike or disdain towards big festive events that draws in big crowds of people. Having to endure waves of customers with some being less than savory at times that its no wonder such a lifestyle drains away at you." Tilting his head slightly while his right hand rose to lightly stroke at his chin to show he was pondering over what she told him while his eyes studied her over; searching for any signs that may tell him her story to be true. He wasn't doing so out of suspicions as he had no grounds or reason to do so but after learning she was brought up by merchants, something about it being off tugged at his mind though considered it to simply be nerves with traveling and being alone with a human for the first time.

And as if to make matters worse, Alina was now asking for some personal stories of his own making the struggle to keep his eyebrow or corners of his mouth from twitching rather difficult." Yes, I have been told that my eyes put even the sharpest hawk to shame, Ms. Bloomfield. An attribute I am personally proud of while others of my village would tell you to be bothersome and invasive." A slight frown creased the corners of his eyes." Though I have to say in regards to having interesting stories that you would be wrong, Ms. Bloomfield. As I can attest to having no interesting stories, at least none that would interest save but for those who hold a great interest towards the learning and studies of magic." Taking a moment to cough against his fist to clear his throat then slipped the hand back within hiding of the long sleeves folded across his chest." I am thankful in your understanding, however as it is true that I can not speak of my clan's secrets and as such only fair I do not delve into such topics considered off-limits...unless given permission that is."

" And I must state now that I am not one to talk about myself much...though will mention that I came from a caring and supportive family. Parents of which who were not happy or approving of my decision towards becoming a scholar but still accepted and helped me whenever needed." For a moment he gazed off into the forest; lost in thought as he briefly recalled the image of his parents shocked expression upon telling them his intention to set out into the open world. He blinked a few times to brush away the image before turning his attention forward once more." A life that involved countless research and preparations on humans and magic eventually leading me here traveling here besides you. Like I said, my past holds very little of interest though living as a scholar and joining fenixtear could certainly change that. "

Menzai Isanami

" Then let us hope we do not come across any such individuals who give in to such paranoid thoughts and accusing others of being a criminal is no joking matter." He exclaimed with a slight hint of irritation in his voice, but soon returned to a calm and somewhat flat tone shortly after. It was clear that this beastkin wasn't one to enjoy jokes though understand that there was serious or cruel intent and so let it be even when she nearly let slip how much it amused her which his gaze didn't fail to notice.

Using the time traveling in quiet besides the woman to take in the sights and smells of the city with his nose picking up the pleasant aroma and freshly baked goods and candy and all sorts of unknown but delicious food from the various stalls being put up. They thankfully made having to endure the bitter sweat coming from the hordes of excited humans and foul exhaust from the vehicles more tolerable. As expected inhaling all these new and alien scents had him craving to partake of them in both hunger and curiosity but he was on a job and until completed all else were secondary and unimportant unless a need for such arise.

It wasn't long before they exited the town of Crocus and were trekking through the forest, no longer distracted by the crowds, sounds and smells. Now he was in a place familiar; at home where his tension melted away making the journey a more relaxing one.

While the quiet was nice; to remain so for too long might of came off rude and as such, Menzai had asked these questions. He tried to go with ones that were on topic of the current events and simple to answer though at the way Alina sighed and struggled briefly had the canine think otherwise. His ears pricked beneath the hood, the slight movement easily noticeable to one looking as a visible indication that he was listening to the redhead's explanation on the festival and its overall purpose. After listening to his acquaintance's explanation, he took her words into consideration; pondering over the royal rulers and how they watched over their citizens. From the books he has read this system of kings and nobility seemed to work well but was also a position of power that often lead to greed and corruption. It had always seemed apparent to him that giving so much power to one or two individual proved risky and dangerous though it also meant less chance of corruption compared to allowing a group to run things. No one system was perfect; each of them had their drawbacks and benefits if they succeed.

These thoughts swirled in his mind with a look of concentration on his face while a part of him always kept his senses alert for any dangers or in case of enemies attempting to attack. Finally pulling himself away from his own mind to realize how quiet he had been the past few minutes and coughed to clear his throat." Forgive me for the silence. Your words had me musing on the royal family. From what you have said, it seems humans tend to have to work quite hard for a living and as such the nobles plan these festivities and other possible as a way of distracting the populace from their daily tiresome ordeals and allow a respite of fun without worries." A curious and interesting bit of details he would be sure to write down later and made sure to store them away within his mind as he pulled his hand that had been scratching his chin in his bemusing away.

With the notes stored he turned his attention back onto her." Though throughout your explanation I have noticed the hint of disinterest in your voice. Does the festival not interest you personally, Ms. Bloomfield?" Her voice almost seemed to lack warmth even unlike those of the townfolk or of those they passed by which he made sure to give a slight bow of the head in greeting. Even as he made sure to acknowledge the unknown travelers, Menzai used his nose and sense of smell to check for any signs of risk but whereas Aline seemed to act as if they didn't exist or were worth giving attention to of which he found peculiar. Yet as he knew nothing of the woman having just met her less than an hour ago so it was not his business to inquire to as she had her own reasons.

Unlike Alina, who was stressing over trying to come up with a concrete plan, Menzai was content with seeing how things go. Not that he didn't enjoy thinking up plans ahead of times but he also found that simply going with the flow often garnered interesting results. And there was the fact this was a very simple and straightforward delivery quest with little risk of danger so he saw no need to fret over the details regarding how they would get the flowers to its destination. It also meant the two could take it easy; allowing him a better observation of the town and its folks daily going on and even more interesting in thanks to the ongoing festival going on currently.

" Correct I much prefer avoiding the unwanted stares and attention altogether. As it will make things easier generally. " A small nod of the head; thanking the redhead for her understanding. He then gave the hood a firm tug to adjust and ensure it was properly covering the furry ears which were flickering from the various sounds of footsteps and somewhat uncomfortable roaring of vehicles driving along pavement. Humans were lucky to not have his hearing for he couldn't imagine in living in such an obnoxiously loud place yet he had no choice but to try and tune out what he can and get used to the booming and rank fumes they let out.

A slight discomforting twitch of his nose though a far more welcomed odor compared to the stench of that mysterious drink. A shiver ran down his back upon being reminded of the smell until he heard Ms. Bloomfield's displeasing comment causing him to raise an eyebrow." A criminal? Absolutely not!" He answered bluntly; offended at the mere accusation." I assure you that I am in no way whatsoever a criminal. And if all it takes for humans to think one to be such is a hood then they are quick to paranoid judgement." Scoffing at the mere notion as for why one chooses to wear one are reasons of their own and their business.

Folding his arms across the chest with his hands settled back within the sleeves." That should be all then." With a shake of the head, he walked alongside Aline, having learned the location they were heading to be a fair bit of walk after having asking for further details that she gained from Torys." Hm, seeing that quest has stated nothing about urgency then going at our own pace will be fine." He was more than fine going at a casual pace to take in the sights.

Travel to Petunia city was quiet and easygoing as expected with conversation from Menzai would consist of questions regarding human customs and way of life." The townfolk all seem rather excited and worked up over this festival which is in celebration to the prince's birthday. Are these festivals over the royal family common? And do they take good care of the citizens? " These were just a few of the questions he had in mind over the current events taking place.

FT: Rivals Unexpected Journey

Izushima Azari

Having confirmed that Kali's heart was beating properly again and tried to inspect the woman to make sure there were no other major injuries. Only to have his arm grabbed; finding himself pulled off-balanced into an armlock as the sudden harsh tug caused a jolt of pain in the shoulder making him let out a wincing grunt." Hngh, so this is how you give thanks for fixing up that heart of yours? Good to know." He spoke through slightly gritted teeth as his ears flicked at her mentioning a rub pressing against her lung followed by a threat which had the fox let out a brief airy laugh.

He gave his arm a testing twist and pull but her grip was too firm and with the weight of her body proved quite difficult for him to break free and he certainly didn't have the muscles to lift and slam her down." Oh you want them cuffs off? I'll get right on that!" His tone sarcastic as he did a mock patting of his haori to further state his sarcasm." A real grateful one we have here. Its a wonder why no one at the guild likes you." Shaking his head with a sigh followed by another small wince.

Finding the position uncomfortable and hurting his hips which was slightly twisted and shifted onto one knee then moved his free hand to grip the constrained arm." So, let's see. If I don't set you free you will break my arm? That would be quite painful for sure though probably not as bad as a strong shock...and would be very unfortunate if the seizing cause that punctured rib pierced the lung." Tilting his head in thinking manner." And considering the speed we were traveling we are probably a good few hours from the town and I'm certainly no medic." Lifting his head to point his masked face towards her, a look of intrigued curiosity beneath." But, sure go ahead and break the arm if you like and see how long you last with blood pooling into your lung." He let out a cheeky click of the tongue; waiting to see what Kali would do after truly considering the situation as while a broken arm would take months to heal, he doubted she would get far in such a state and the cuffs cutting off her magic. The fox then gave off a few warning crackles of static testing her to try it.

" That is correct, yes." Nodding his head after reaffirming the type of magic he uses and was grateful to see her intrigued by it. As there have been a number of fellow beastkin that found his barrier magic weak or uninteresting back at the village, the thought bringing a brief frown to his face before returning to its near blank expression." The blacken oak one might indeed be the easier of the two but I think the flower delivery quest is best." Mainly as he didn't feel ready to be surrounded and interacting with a group of the town folk just yet.

While Alina grabbed the poster; Menzai turned his head away briefly after noticing a few other guildmates leaving as it seemed the woman from before, Ria accepted the challenge of another unknown member whose name he did not know. This proved a prime opportunity to observe their magic and fighting style, but alas that would have to wait another time and turned his attention back onto the redhead to hear her question regarding how he preferred to be addressed." Hm, Mr. Isanami is preferable if you please, Ms. Bloomfield." Finding that this was the best way to keep relationships with the others in a formal distance as he wasn't here to make friends.

With the quest decided and where to meet settled, he gave a bow of the head." I shall return momentarily and meet you then." Setting off towards the table where he left the two piles of books and upon reaching them had lifted his hands to give the top books a quick tap of his clawed index fingers. Seconds later, a light blue transparent bubble formed around the two piles of books then slipped his hands beneath them. And with ease he lifted them up as the bubbles almost seemed to float and bounce gently against his palms making carrying the books easier for him to carry off to his room.

After a quick walk down the hallway did he arrive at his room where he was able to place the books on the desk as the barrier bubbles popped shortly after. Briefly taking a glance around the bedroom; besides the books the room looked as if no one had been staying here the past week.* Seems I spent too much time at the library. When I return I need to get the preparations done.* Rubbing a finger against his chin as he mused to himself though this task would have to wait as it would be unbecoming and rude to keep Ms. Bloomfield waiting and so quietly exited the room to make way for the main lobby once more. To his relief that horrendous odor had lessen in intensity by this point to which he let out a relieved sigh, not that the stench was gone completely though and so avoided breathing in too deeply.

Before setting off towards the front door, he made sure to take a moment to slip the hood on to cover the top of his head, the canine ears in particular. With that taken care of, Menzai headed to the front door where he found Alina waiting who was thankfully able to get the approval from Torys." Then shall we be off? Ah, one last thing that I must mention or more a favor in this instance? I must inquire avoiding mention of my..less human features while around those not part of fenixtear." Wanting to keep his presence and that of beastkin little known as possible at least for the time being.

Now that everything was taken care of, the two were off; making their way to Petunia Town.

Menzai Isanami

The redhead sitting across from him seemed to be well mannered; a rare trait from the few human interactions he has had up to this point. Though that smile of hers felt...off? Uncertain what it was that gave him such a feeling, but the curling of her lips almost looked forced as if it wasn't completely genuine. A strange thing to think towards a person who spoke and greeted him more kindly and certainly rude and so kept such thoughts to himself.

" Hm, yes. I have been told the name given to me to be particularly interesting though being seen as intriguing is refreshing compared to being considered strange or a freak due to my..less than human features." A brief motion of his hand towards his twitching canine ears which is why he has opted to wearing a hood while traveling in the public, preferring to avoid conflict that would variably happen with how somewhat close minded people can be. And through Aline, he gained the partial name of the woman who dropped off the books and made a mental reminder to thank this Ria properly the next time he encountered her.

He took a moment to glance over some of the books titles before hearing Ms. Bloomfield speaking up after being briefly lost in thought which he took this chance to glance over a few of the book titles. These probably didn't have a deep telling of the regions history but would help him discern the basics at least. Turning his his attention back to the redhead to see that she had a similar thought of partaking in a quest." I agree. An opportune time to work together and see how we will get along."

Pushing off the table to stand; deciding to leave the books on the table for the moment as he prepared to follow Aline to the board, when the sound of coughing and hacking caught the attention of his ears. Soon spotting the male individual who was standing next to the female with the horrid cup and found himself frowning slightly. A reaction he himself would be having were he in the man's position which had him wondering if he had enhanced senses too for he didn't carry the scent of a beastkin. Unexpected and peculiar to see another with a strong sense of smell and seeing the gagging reaction had him offering the person his condolences in his mind before moving on towards the board, thankfully further away from that foul stench to his nose relief.

Strolling his way to stand besides Ms. Bloomfield, his footsteps nary making a sound as he went and his hands slipping into the long sleeves. His eyes scanning over the board, where he soon discovered that a festival would be taking place with some of the quests pertaining to its preparation.

Most of the quests seemed simple and easy, save for two which were somewhat higher in rank. These two seemed to be the more challenging and interesting one but since this were to be his first case and with a fellow guildmate who herself was somewhat new to the guild still and figured it best to do one of the more easygoing jobs. She proved to think of a similar mind by choosing two of the jobs that were in laymen terms, errands towards setting up the festival.

Turning his gaze to the two jobs she showed interest in before she explained that her magic was not suited nor optimal for combat to which he shook his head." No need for apologies as such lack of information is on my part. I have use of barrier magic, so it isn't optimal for combat but fret not. As the jobs you have selected will likely have little risk of encountering dangerous individuals unless they hate flowers or festivals?" Still, the possibility was always there and better to be safe by remaining on guard; a good thing his magic was a defensive type making his skills perfect for most jobs like these.

And so as he read over the two jobs in questions and pondering on which the two could handle best or the least troublesome. While the thought of transporting a large batch of flowers didn't sound too appealing for his nose (any scent would be better than that mystery aroma of the cup) yet proved the better option over having to do menial tasks and being surrounded by groups of people. As he was never one much for crowds and so the choice was easily decided." After some thought, the special delivery quest seems the most appealing. If you agree with taking the quest or if you prefer the other then that is fine too. " He gave a small bowing nod of the head, waiting to hear her answer." And before we set off, I must get those books to my room if you don't mind the short wait."
