@SaberClass4242 Yeah, that was one of the areas I wasn't sure about. I'm not too sure about it myself, but maybe he was part of a larger guard detail during a diplomatic trip to Temperantia (him being an ex-native means he can help smooth things over). Adam got caught up in an incident between a small number of Fortitudians being attacked by a larger group of Iustitian loyalists, and when confronted between the choice of Loyalty to the Prince or loyalty to his former people, he chose to support the prince?

Bio
My Name is Shadow Daedalus, but I will accept pretty much any diminutive form you can come up with. I am active in the GMT Timezone, and I mention this to help coordinate posting times with others.
I like to RP things with fighting and grit, but chilled out RPs are good too. I'm a little out of practice, so my writing style falls anywhere between Low-Casual and High-Casual.
Wide range of tastes, like Sci-fi, Modern, Fantasy and Historical. This also includes a diverse range of Fandom content, especially Games and Anime.
I don't usually play more that three characters at a time, and I'm more comfortable as a male character, but I might try to expand more in the future, you'll have to wait and see...
Not very interesting, so feel free to ask me questions :D

@SaberClass4242 ^ That's my general idea, but I wasn't sure on a few things so I marked them in brackets. Let me know if anything needs adjusting, or if my idea is way too off the mark
I haven't developed him completely yet, but the premise is a young ex-soldier from Temperantia, slightly older than Adam (maybe 23 or so?), who sustained horrific injuries on the battlefield (insert details about a military conflict here, maybe an insurrection or rebellion?) and was thusly treated with prototype magi-tech prosthetic limbs. They replaced his entire left arm (and shoulder, see middle drawing), most of his lower right arm and both legs, and they were controlled by manipulating the flow of magic within them.
After his injuries, he quit the military but couldn't find work due to his magi-tech parts being too militaristic for civilians to accept. With no other choice, he travelled the country before he joined up with the Fortitudian (?) military. Due to his previous experience and magi-tech upgrades, he was quickly elevated to Royal Protector, but he was never fully trusted due to Temperantia being an annexed state under the control of the Iustitian Empire.
His weapons use a mix of modern technology and magic, but function loosely like regular firearms. A small projectile, similar to a nail in appearance, is used in the place of regular bullets, and the weapons themselves apply magic fed from the soldier to accelerate the bullets. His main armament is a prototype assault/sniper rifle with a 20 round magazine. In Assault Mode, the weapon applies instant repeating bursts of magic to fire the projectiles at medium range and power (like a SCAR-H in terms of damage and rate of fire). He can also transform the weapon into a semi-automatic Sniper Mode, wherein the barrel and scope extend and a bi-pod is folded down if needed. In this mode, the weapon charges up each burst of magic after every shot, which increases the power of each shot but reduces the rate of fire.
He also has two holdout magi-tech pistols with 12-round magazines. They work using instant bursts of magic, and fire in semi-auto. They are stored in concealed quick-draw mechanisms built into his prosthetic arms, but he can detach the weapons to give to someone else if needed.
These weapons can only be used by people that can directly manipulate the formless magical energy (i.e. mana) and direct it into the weapons, but this means that the weapons aren't always exclusively used by the soldier

@vFear I'm happy to co-op. Arashi could mentor Tsubame, and Ryuu could be friends with Natsuko through street racing?
Is it me, or did this end up being very focused on the 20th ward? Pretty much half of us have a character with some link to that ward. In my case, I randomly chose a high-school for the bios and it was, by coincidence, in Nerima
Well, this died quickly
@Ninian Feel free to ask us any questions you might have
@SaberClass4242 My idea uses things like modern firearms and prosthetic limbs, both powered and enhanced by magic. I'll elaborate more when a CS is put up, but is that kind of thing ok?
@SaberClass4242 Something about the technological aspect of the world, is magic a significant aspect of technological advancement (eg Magic-powered cars and phones etc), or is it kept deliberately separate (like normal, with petrol and generated electricity), maybe as a way of stating that people don't have to rely on magic?
