Academy of Noble Arms - Reboot (With gratitude to TheHangedMan)

Ellie Vuković

Appearance:

Name: Elena "Ellie" Vuković

Age: 18

Nationality: American

Noble Arm Name & Appearance:

Life

Liberty

Summary: Life and Liberty are technically one and the same, the weapon merely switches between forms depending on Ellie's needs. Both are beautifully engraved, Life bearing bronze motifs of elk that contrast nicely with its dark wood furniture. Liberty is adorned with simple silver foliage with black filling in its grip. Both forms are equally ostentatious and flashy, fitting their user nicely.

Noble Arm Abilities: Harm No Innocents: Bullets fired from Life and Liberty will harmlessly pass through any living target that Ellie doesn’t wish to kill, ensuring that civilian casualties are kept to a minimum.
Smell Of Ozone: When activated Life fires golden bullets that "splash" against their target, the pool turning into an acid that will begin to eat through any dead or inorganic material including clothes, weapons and buildings.
Hollow Point:Liberty can fire silver bullets that penetrate deep into their target before dissipating with leaving any physical harm. The attack causes the victim to experience a sort of "phantom pain", they will feel as if the bullet actually shattered inside of them and the shards are tearing through their body. Ellie can make the shards "grow" at varying speeds, increasing the pain from distracting to agonizing to crippling. Allowing the shards to grow will continuously tax Ellie, especially if she speeds up the rate of growth.
On Eagle's Wings:Ellie can throw herself up to a maximum of twenty feet in the air, hovering to get a better shot or gliding for extra maneuverability. This ability also makes her speed, agility and reflexes much faster than a normal human's.
Sleeping Dogs: Life and Liberty can fire a bullet that looks like a shard of lapis lazuli that can put a single target to sleep. Non Arms Users can be knocked out with immediately if taken by surprise, but people with Noble Arms can fight off the effects for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute. Shooting someone multiple times with this ability will put them to sleep faster, but fatigues Ellie in return.

Weaknesses:
Jammed:Trying to switch Life and Liberty between forms too many times will cause them to "jam", forcing her to wait for a minute before she can use them again.
Running Dry: They're guns, they need ammo. Each form of Life and Liberty can be fired seven times before "reloading", a process that takes five seconds per form.

Personality: Ellie is first and foremost a tomboy. She prides herself on being able to integrate with any group of boys and prove that she's just as rough and tumble as anyone of them put together. She rejects anything that might be perceived as "girly" (with the exception of drawing) in favor of wrestling, shooting, spitting and generally unladylike activities. Her favorite animals are dogs because like her, they're filled with boundless energy. It's hard to get the young woman to sit in one place for more than a couple of hours, and she'll be wiggling and squirming in her seat the whole time. She's almost constantly chewing something, tobacco when she has it or pens when she doesn't.

The wild little thing has an innate distrust of authority, whether it be police, teachers, government officials or religious leaders and only listens to them begrudgingly. She'll follow instructions sure, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. This dislike of high powers is part of the reason she joined Trinidad Academy in the first place. Noble Arms users represent a sort of overbearing power ready to tread on the rest of the world, and she wants to serve as a sort of safeguard for those who lack the means to protect themselves from groups like the Hammer of Masters or even individual psychopaths with an Arm of some kind.

Despite her reservations about those who hold power, Ellie is fiercely patriotic. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was three years old, and she is very proud of her adoptive nation. The US has been good to her whole life, and she carries her love for her country even when overseas.

*Likes: Shooting, Hunting, Chewing Tobacco, Dogs, Drawing

*Dislikes: Cats, Hammer of Masters, Smoking, Arrogance, Her Full Name

Fears: The deep ocean, That those who have Noble Arms might one day crush those who don't.


Bio: Elena Vuković was born to Drevan and Adrijana Vuković in the city of Split, Croatia. The family consisted only of the three of them, although a German Shepherd joined them when Elena was two years old. She was by all accounts a normal child, babling incoherently and keeping her parents up with her incessant crying. They lived a comfortable life, her father was a lawyer and her mother a doctor so they were able to keep a full time nanny to tend to their child. She was a bit of a precocious child, saying her first word at only nine months. ("Puppy.")

When Elena was three years old the family dog was murdered by a Arms User that broke into her home. The German Shepherd leapt at the intruder in an attempt to protect his family by was knocked aside by a single blow. The burglar's fist shattered the poor dog's ribcage and sent him through a solid brick wall, killing him instantly. Elena screamed at the sight of her beloved companion's ugly demise and the Arms User went to shut her up, only to end up with a bullet from her father's revolver impeding itself in his arm. The burglar fled and no one else was hurt, but the scene would stay with Elena for the rest of her life.

For her parents, the incident was the final reason they had been looking for to move. The law firm Drevan worked for had shuttered its doors, leaving him without a job. Adrijana was fed up with the bureaucracy of the hospital she worked for,, having been passed over for promotion multiple times in favor of younger men with less experience. Both of them agreed that it was time to look for greener pastures and headed for the United States, specifically Denver, Colorado where Drevan had family that could help them settle in. So the family moved, and Elena would grow up as an American child.

As early as kindergarten Elena hung out with boys more than she did girls, preferring to roughhouse and throw around toy cars than play with dolls or watch movies about princesses. Her parents assumed it was just a phase but she kept it up, earning herself many scraped knees and bruised elbows from games of soccer and kickball. Elena became "Ellie", and more than one of her childhood friends had no idea she was a girl. She just preferred the company of boys, there was no particular reason to it. Ellie could curse and roughhouse with anyone of them, even picking up the habit of chewing tobacco at the age of fifteen just to prove that she was more of man than any of them. She was completely fine so her parents just accepted it with a collective shrug. It didn't bother them very much who she played with as long as she was safe.

It bothered them slightly more when at the age of ten she and her troop of friends dragged them out to see the holes she had punched into a brick wall using her suddenly discovered Noble Arms. Ellie threw herself into practicing with her weapons, spending entire summers blasting away at birds and cans on a relative's cattle ranch. It was a lot of fun sure, but some nights the image of her beloved dog bleeding and twitching would appear in front of her. She knew what Arms Users were capable of, and understood why some people wanted them regulated or even snuffed out. People that didn't have them stood no chance. They needed someone to protect them, and Ellie would be that person.

She did some research into schools and settled on Trinidad, simply because it was the cheapest. Her parents supported their daughter in her endeavor and gave her their blessing. Before she left for the Philippines Ellie took her citizenship test and passed with flying colors, a symbolic promise that she would return to her home when she was ready to keep its people safe.
*Current Goal: Become the strongest Arms User she can so she can protect those who can't protect themselves.

Student Rank:501

*Extra:Her most prized possession is an old 1st Air Cavalry jacket from the Vietnam era that's slightly too big for her. She's almost always wearing it.

Smell Of Ozone: When activated Life fires golden bullets that "splash" against their target, the pool turning into an acid that will begin to eat through clothes, skin, and flesh. If not properly attended to the acid will melt through bone in minutes. Using this ability too many times in too small time frame will tax Ellie greatly, causing her to pass out.
Hollow Point:Liberty can fire silver bullets that penetrate deep into their target before shattering into fragments. Each fragment will began to grow in size, jagged lengths of metal tearing through muscles and organs until the ability is dispelled or the victims dies. Allowing the shards to grow will continuously tax Ellie, especially if she speeds up the rate of growth. It can also be slowed if needed.
On Eagle's Wings:Ellie can throw herself up to a maximum of twenty feet in the air, hovering to get a better shot or gliding for extra maneuverability. This ability also makes her speed, agility and reflexes much faster than a normal human's.
