Vivian & Sylvia Altissima

Riñas was found at the port's church. It looked saintly and white, unbefitting of her kind but she was just outside and talking to some other people. A group of four: a human, a Lamia, a Harpy and a Centaur.

When she was called, she immediately reacted. Noting the alarm in the Altissima sisters', she made haste to the three guild members. "Wh-What? What is it?" She quickly asked. "And why is Mister Neil up in the air? Did he do something wrong?" She pointed at the young man held by the Liliraune's vine.

The Altissima sisters put Neil down. "No, it's not Neil," Sylvia explained, flushed, "I was just keeping him out of reach of the kidnappers. The kikimora participating in the cooking competition kidnapped Sir Nero, and made off with the prize. I came to tell you to raise the alarm to prevent the kidnappers from escaping town."

Vivian's gaze darted towards those near sister Riñas, glossing over the Lamia. "You two seem pretty fast," Vivian said, pointing to the Harpy and the Centaur, "Can you send word to the gates? Most of my friends are heading to the port already, I think."

The Altissima sisters agreed with the plans Kira and Yang had set, but for the moment, they were too dumbfounded. "Sir Nero's as strong as Yang, right?" Vivian said incredulously. "How can a Kikimora whisk him a way so easily?" Sure, there were differences when it came to monster girl strength versus human strength, but Vivian didn't know Kikimora to be particularly, strong, but then again, Vivian didn't know kikimora at all.

With the arrival of Haley and Freyr, and the subsequent kiss Haley planted on the Viera, Sylvia grabbed her face and blushed modestly at the public display of affection, while Vivian gave Haley a hearty thumbs up.

To answer Sir Reed, Sylvia re-iterated, "One of the cooking contestants got kidnapped, and we're trying to seal off the fair so they don't get away. Some are heading for the entrance, others are going to the port. I'll try to contact the authorities. If memory serves, Sister Riñas said she was hosting the quiz game, right?" The Liliraune were about to head towards the general area of the quiz contest, when a thought ran through Sylvia's head. Why would the Kikimora kidnap Nero? The only thing she knew about him was that he was a human male, but then, if the kikimora was kidnapping human men...

"Neil, stick close okay? We don't know what the Kikimora wants, but you can't risk you getting kidnapped too." Sylvia requested, though the large vine that went and wrapped around Neil's waist, lifting him into the air like a rag-doll demonstrated that this wasn't really a request. "We'll try to find Sister Riñas so she can alert the authorities, and maybe we'll find Ozzy too."

Wit hNeil in tow, the sisters headed towards the quiz area. If Ozzy and Margaret had wandered too far, they might not run into each other. Regardless, Vivian and Sylvia cupped their mouths and began calling for Sister Riñas, hoping she as still nearby.

"Hey! You missed the entire cooking competition." Yang pointed herself proudly with a thumb and grinned. "I won, obviously."

"But I was so close to getting another fight. That was a shame." She sighed disappointedly and waved her hand at that.

"Right, before I forget. This man here is Sir Nero, he was the person who I challenge the previous. He's pretty strong." Yang introduced Nero to the group before doing the same. "Here are my guildmates, Kira, Ada the mysterious beast, The Altissima sister, and Neil."

"Also, if you're still hungry, I can make some food for you." Yang stood back up and got her apron back again, gesturing at the leftover items left for her side. She can still make the vegetable ramen and fried dumplings easily, firing up the kitchen, reheating the soup, making the noodles.

It took a moment but Yang was done with it, handing the vegetarian ramen and fried dumplings to the trio.

"Here, eat up."

Yang

"It was great! The food was spectacular, but Yang's dish ended up winning it all.", she replied before turning to the Liliurane twins with a smirk. ""You two missed out. Y'all would've definitely been in the running."

Kira

"Heh...hehehe...c-congratulations, Yang," Vivian squeezed out, trying to feel happy for her guildmate's victory, but unable to suppress the sense of dejection from having missed out so completely on the cooking competition. Kira's compliment, unfortunately, only pushed the knife deeper. Sylvia accepted the platter of ramen and dumplings and pushed it on Vivian, who quietly took it and began eating, while Sylvia took another platter for herself. Vivian tried the ramen first and perked up, then popped a fried dumpling into her mouth, the flavor taking her out of her depression. "It's...good. It's really good! And there's no meat in here?! Amazing!" Vivian commented, having previously discussed Yang's dietary restrictions at length. "If you can make vegetarian dishes taste this good, why, then us plants are in trouble, haha!" she joked between mouthfuls, "Truly a well-earned victory!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Nero," Sylvia greeted, "If you're a match for Yang, then you must be strong!" But then her attention was drawn to Kira's question of Talia's whereabouts. "Did she come to the cooking competition with you guys?" Sylvia asked, while craning her neck to look around at the festival grounds. Surely a towering cyclops couldn't be too hard to pick out of a crowd, right?

Catherine Hargreaves - Female Hybrid Teacher

Catherine Hargreaves

Breathtaker

_{Magic Name}

BiànCáiTiān168 (弁財天-壹陸捌)

_String

Light Side

_Faction

Hybrid Academy Faculty
Club Administration

_Appearance

Catherine is svelte and feminine, with a sly look in her sharp, violet eyes. She dresses professionally, but in a way that accentuates her natural beauty.

_Biography

An alumna of Academy City, Catherine engaged in archaeology to pursue the coveted status of hybrid. She traveled the world and learned their mythologies in the hopes of finding a way to impart herself with the ability to use magic without incurring too much harm. She eventually settled into Taoism, Chinese Alchemy, and the fuzzy line between literature and religion. With the knowledge that she had gained, she received an invitation to become a faculty member at Academy City's first-ever school for hbrids.

_Personality

Catherine Hargreaves is collected and exudes a calm that some actually find intimidating and threatening. However, she also has a sly, youthful playfulness coupled with a graceful maturity. Though she does not seek out her students, she gives ample care and attention to those who seek her. She respects the students desire for freedom, personal space, and self-expression. She will confront those who do not behave consistently with their principles, and doesn't believe that anyone should have to bend over backwards to conform and please others. In this way, Catherine is somewhat controversial, as she only believes that people should be consistent with their principles, but believes that everyone is entitled to their own set of principles, regardless of what those principles might be, which has led some to consider her immoral and Machiavellian. There is some truth to that, as Catherine has crossed certain lines to get where she is.

_Skills

• Intrigue and emotional manipulation
• Keeping her cool
• Fluid mechanics
• Boujutsu (Staff fighting)

_Ability - No-Flux Boundary Condition (無流境界條件 - Muryuu Kyokai Jouken) Level 4

Catherine Hargreaves can create vacuum boundaries through which no fluid (gas, liquid, or plasma) can flow. Though the boundaries can grow and shrink, she cannot compress air to more than 2atm of sustained pressure.

_Magic

Catherine specializes in Taoism, Chinese Alchemy, and Feng Shui Geomancy, which is similar to Japanese Onmyoudou. Instead of 'doing magic herself', she attempts to use her skills to recreate magical artifacts from Chinese mythology and literature, her greatest accomplishment being the creation of a replica of the Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, the weapon wielded by Sun WuKong the Monkey King from Journey to the West.

_String

Dark Light Side

_Faction

Makers Club

_Appearance

Shizuka has short green hair and green eyes behind thick glasses. Some say she looks a bit boyish. Shizuka is on the short side. Shizuka generally wears her uniform or more modest, old-fashioned clothing when she's outside. At home she typically wears sweatshirt and sweatpants (totally an otaku)

_Biography

Shizuka grew up as a low-level Esper in Academy City, having been sent there by her parents at a young age, along with her older brother. When her brother was in high school, and herself in elementary school, her brother started using the notorious Level Upper performance enhancing audio file. He shared it with Shizuka and both of them noticed a boost in their ability in using their Esper powers. It was eventually revealed that Level Upper was in fact an AIM network that could be used to hijack the powers of all the Espers using the network, and when it was ultimately exploited for that purpose, both Shizuka and her brother went into a coma. After they were brought out of the coma by the Level Upper treatment program, they were apprehended as Level Upper-users, in effect, they were branded as criminals. Due to her young age and due to having been influenced by her brother, Shizuka was acquitted, whereas her brother had to go through a long and arduous appeals court process to be released. He was also sent away from Academy City since he had lost his powers as a result of Level Upper.

Though Shizuka resents what the creator of Level Upper (and by extension, Academy City) did to her brother, the pressure, shame and powerlessness of being a low-level Esper combined with an insatiable curiosity for the level of power she had experienced when younger has pushed her to experiment on herself with synesthesia, as she has attempted over and over again to recreate and modify the original audio of Level Upper, as well as to experiment with the anti-Esper weapon, Capacity Down. It is perhaps this daring to break past her limits through unconventional (and potentially dangerous) means that has gained her acceptance to Hybrid Academy.

_Personality

Despite her ambition, Shizuka is actually kind of a coward and just wants to get along with everyone. She puts too much value on what other people think of her, giving her a desire to please others, which makes her susceptible to being bullied and exploited. She tries to find someone who she thinks will be nice to her and gives her attention to whoever she latches onto, becoming something of a lackey. She can come off as serious but is easily flustered. She is afraid that her love of computers will make people think she's an otaku (she really is).

Hamza Hazmat - Male Mage Student

_{Magic Name}

Hasidin575 (حاسد٥٧٥)

_String

Light Side

_Faction

Muslim Faction

_Appearance

Hamza has dark skin, dull, red eyes, and short, white hair that he puts no effort into maintaining. Hamza often wears a tired, expressionless visage; an impenetrable poker face to those who don't know him. Most of the time, he is seen wearing a loose, baggy t-shirt and similarly loose jeans, with slightly worn out tennis shoes. Hamza tends to pick comfort and familiarity, and likes how loose clothing obscures his physique and preserves his modesty. Hamza often keeps his hands in his pockets.

Khamsah symbol and khamsah beads

Hamza has Khamsah wards tattooed on his palm, embroidered on the face-mask, front, back, and shoulders of his combat robe, and wears khamsah beads all along the belt of his combat robe.

_Biography

Hamza was born in war-torn Syria. Orphaned at a young age, he was picked up by a group of individuals whom he believed followed a deviant Muslim sect that dabbled in witchcraft. However, over time, he realized that mysticism had always been an integral part of Islam, no matter what the sheikhs and scholars wrote in their rulings. Over time, he learned that magic was not mutually exclusive from faith, and practiced both his religion and his mystical techniques. Of course, their intention was to train him as part of the next generation of Islamic mystics, but he often heard them lamenting the dominance of Christian magic, and the overwhelming power of science. He saw these two colonizing powers as the reason that Muslim lands were in such a bad state. Some of his teachers preached that this was simply their destiny, and part of Allah's plan, while others preached that this was a test from Allah to see who could rise to the occasion and take down the oppressors once and for all.

Hamza turned his ear towards those who sought to enact change, but kept his non-violent teachings close to heart, lest he turn to violent extremism. He heard out his elders and discussed strategies with them. He heard rumors about ancient Egyptian sites being desecrated by an individual, and signs pointed to Academy City, the Capitol of Science. Hamza infiltrated the city to find out as much as he could about the inner workings of the city, but soon the allure of Hybrid Academy, and the promise of hybrids drew Hamza towards the academy. After all, science had flourished during the Golden Age of Islam, ultimately leading to the European Renaissance, and by extension, the Industrial Revolution, so Hamza saw the unification of science, magic, and faith as his true calling.

_Personality

Hamza is focused and cautious. Disciplined and serious, he acts older than his age. His mind is filled with memories of the oppression of his people, and to end it is his chief motivator. He is suspicious and distrustful, but is himself not a great schemer. Hamza has a tendency to fly into fits of rage when encountering an insurmountable obstacle, and will often unreasonably demand more from himself and his body in an attempt to overcome said obstacle. He trusts only in his own mind, and wishes his body and emotions could be a perfect vessel, a perfect slave for his mind, but the more he wishes this were so, the more he denies the control his needs and desires have over his psyche.

_Skills

• Multilingual (Arabic, English, Japanese)
• Tactical
• Physically fit, capable of free-running
• Intense concentration
• Improvising tools and weapons

_Likes

• Spicy food
• Animals
• Clean spaces
• Books
• Trains

_Dislikes

• Secularism/Anti-theism
• The British
• Junk food
• Unclean spaces
• Other forms of magic that involve idols

"Thanks, you two. I've been trying to find help in this endeavor of mine so I'm glad you two offered. If there's anything I can do for you two... although, please don't expect too much. I'm not exactly... not exactly a man of talents. B-But I'll do my best, I guarantee you that. Well, our break's almost over. Time to get going and back into the fray. Ah, I know. Once we're done helping and after I've asked Riñas about the other-dimensions thing, why don't we... wander around a bit? See what else the festival offers. Maybe grab a bite or two. It'll be like a date. Uhh, by 'date' I mean... well, not that kind of 'date' but, uhh..."

Neil

Realizing the awkward situation that Neil had landed them in, Vivian forced a laugh, "Haha! How can it be a date when there's three of us, right?" She nudged her sister with an elbow.

"Err, th-that's right, you can't date both of us, that would be...philandering, wouldn't it? So obviously it wouldn't be a date, it would be something much more casual and not at all stressful..." Sylvia stuttered the words out, grateful to have this opportunity to spend time with Neil, while Vivian made it less awkward. "Maybe we should go get some food first, then. There's got to be some good food at the competition, and we can reconvene with some of our guildmates."

The mention of the competition immediately deflated Vivian, who cast a tired, but accusatory glance at her sister. Moaning weakly, Vivian then leaned into Sylvia, putting her head on her sister's shoulder, and slowly slid her face down until Vivian's face was planted deeply into Sylvia's chest. _{"...I did this for you..."} She muttered, almost inaudibly.

Unsure what to do, Sylvia hugged Vivian and patted her on the head, and whispered "Th-thanks, Vivian, I owe you big."

"It's fine, Vivian. It's fine. Well, as you guys know I don't come from this world. I'm looking for a way home. I've heard that Dark Priests are servants of the Fallen God. Now I don't care much about who the Fallen God is and what she wants do, only that she's someone who is in another dimension. Pandemonium, I believe. Maybe she or her followers know something about other dimensions. Other worlds. Maybe ways to cross them. That would definitely get me home. But it's a longshot, I admit. Could be a dead end. Do you think... do you think it's possible? Do you think I could actually... go home?"

Neil

"D-don't you like it here?" Sylvia asked in a slightly injured voice; her relief that Neil's question to Sister Riñas was genuine and not just an excuse to hang out with her because he was interested in her was overridden by her worrythat Neil was trying to leave, but her statement elicited a punch from Vivian.

"It's not about whether he likes it or not," Vivian corrected, "Imagine if we couldn't visit Mom or Dad again."

"Y-you're right, I was being...foolish," Sylvia apologized, deflated.

"But Sylvia does have a point," Vivian continued, "Traveling between worlds just sounds downright dangerous, and the more desperate you are, the more likely you'll choose a dangerous option, so we'll take it upon ourselves to help you in any way we can to ensure that if you do find a way home, that it is a safe choice."

At this Sylvia perked up, "Th-that's right! You don't have to do this alone. And I'm curious to learn about the different worlds and how to travel between them."

Vivian & Sylvia Altissima

While the sisters helped Riñas and Neil, they barely spoke to each other, though every time Riñas and Neil were together Sylvia would pay them extra attention, and Vivian would roll her eyes in exasperation.

"Hey uhh, I know that you wanted to come to join the cooking contest so uhh, I'll try to make it up to you, alright? Ehehe, sorry."

"So why did you really want to come with me? I doubt you have any questions for Riñas. Err, do you?"

Neil

Though Vivian looked pissed, it wasn't Neil she was angry at, and his offer helped to quell some of her rage. Softening, she said, "I really appreciate the gesture, but you're not the one who should be apologizing."

Sylvia shot her sister an unfriendly glance, before replying to Neil's question, "Oh, umm, I just figured that the responsible thing to do was to help, since Sister Riñas seemed so understaffed. If anything, I was more curious what your question was."

"Really, Sylvia?" Vivian asked sarcastically.

"Wh-what?" Sylvia rubbed the back of her neck, trying to play innocent.

Vivian let out a noisy exhale, "Fine! Let's be nosy and find out what Neil wants to ask!"
