Jin watched Akiko's reaction to his suggestion with joy. There were no words of caution, no timid gestures, and no reluctant stammering. She was clearly, unquestionably, up for it, and by the grin that slowly crept across her face, he could tell she probably wanted this as much as he did. While Akiko seemed to be a bit more restrained in her expressions, Jin saw no need for such a thing in the presence of a like-minded fox. He let out a quick burst of jovial laughter after she spoke, noting the word "we" in her sentence. "Oh, I believe we are obligated to do just that!" he replied. "We are new to this city and have yet to pay our new lord proper respect! The tricky part will be getting in though..."

Now Jin was plunging head-first into strategies. "We could pose as neighboring aristocrats offering a gift. Surely he'd show his face for that. And once we're in... ah, we can just wing it once we're in there." Jin rarely planned more than one step ahead, and when he did, he usually didn't follow those plans. "We'll just slip away from the guards or something and make him pay respect to us. Haha that'll be great! 'Please Jin-sama, Akiko-sama, please stop putting centipedes in my soup.' What do you want to do to him Aki?" he concluded, already abridging his new partner in crime's name. He wasn't used to working with others, so he was probably getting a bit carried away with his own ideas, but he didn't want to chase of his new friend before they even got started, so he restrained himself to hear her input.
So I've got five characters up and ready to fight. More on the way. Is anyone interested fighting one of them?

Name: Ryozan Tanzo

Universe: Latrisia (Original)

Race: Northern Kitsune

Age: 23

Tier: Powered

Gender: Male

Height: 6'1''

Weight: 215 lbs.

Appearance: Ryozan has a muscular, though not bulky, build and carries an imposing stature. His face is stern and harsh, and he bears a scar across his right cheek and just under his left eye. As a kitsune, he has a pair of fox-like ears, claws for nails, elongated canines, and a set of six whiskers on his face, and a silky white tail. His snow white hair is long and well kept. He traditionally wears underclothes made of animal skin, a vest of thick, warm fur, arm warmers, and warm fuzzy boots, but when travelling in warmer lands than his home, he wears a dark blue kimono. His body has several scars from his younger days, revealing the strife that he endured.

Skills: Master Martial Artist - Ryozan has been formally training in martial arts his entire life, learning basic forms as early as 4 years old. He has participated in countless informal sparring matches, fought in formal tournaments, and has had many serious life or death fights outside of a dojo as well. His fighting style, Tanzo-ryu, was developed and passed down by his ancestors. It is similar to karate, focusing on powerful strikes and a sturdy defense with an emphasis on the upper body.

Master Swordsman - In addition to learning unarmed combat, Ryozan has also practiced the use of the katana from a very young age. His swordsmanship style goes by the same name of Tanzo-ryu and focuses on powerful efficient strikes. With his blade, he can tear through chain mail with ease and cleanly cut through bone.

Brute Strength - Even among the martial artists of his world, Ryozan has remarkable physical strength. He is able to crush rocks in his hand, punch through metal plates, and even toss wrestlers weighing twice as much as him out of the ring. Likewise, he has durability to match and can withstand blows just as well as he can dish them out.

Tracking - Ryozan is a proficient hunter, capable of stalking and killing prey in a variety of terrains, though his specialty is the woods, and his super-specialty is snowy woods.

Animal Handling - The northern kitsune are adept at handling various types of animals. His specialties are owls and moose, but he is also capable of capturing, taming, and training horses, raptors, and bears.

Powers: Cryomancy - The northern kitsune have a magical affinity for ice. They can withstand extremely cold temperatures, and can cool the air around them in particularly warm climates. Ryozan has learned a number of techniques that stem from his Cryomancy.

Blizzard Strike - Ryozan can summon a powerful arctic wind to accompany his strikes. The wind is -50 degrees Fahrenheit, travels at 50 mph, and is accompanied by shards of ice. The gust lasts only a couple of seconds.

Ice Armament - Ryozan can form ice around his body, having it take the form of blades or armor.

Frigid Touch - Ryozan can freeze an object that he is physically touching.

Ki - During his martial arts training, Ryozan has learned to harness his Ki, a spiritual force that enhances his abilities in several ways.

Hasaiken - The "crushing strike." By channeling his Ki into a physical strike, he can add an explosive impact to his already powerful blows.

Ki Infusion - Ryozan can channel his ki into a weapon that he his holding, giving it enhanced durability and keenness. When infusing his katana with his ki, he can cut through steel as though it were flesh. He can also infuse his Ice Armament with his ki to make it as strong as steel.

Gale Step - Ryozan can channel his ki into his feet and release it in a sudden burst for a quick, momentary burst of speed.

Weapons/Equipment: Shirogami - Ryozan's katana. Forged with Tanzo steel using the ancient sword making arts that were passed down for generations, this blade is as fine as any. It's sheath is a glossy black with no adornments, and the blade, though not magical, seems to glow white in sunlight.

Bio: The Tanzo family has been the ruling clan in the northern province of Ibino for over a millennium. They have avoid stagnation by invited talented folk of "lesser" blood into their family and adorning them with their name, and have maintained the respect of the region through virtue and action. However, when Ryozan was 17, his family arranged a marriage for him, which cut another clan off from their ambitions. Ryozan narrowly survived an assassination attempt, which sparked a civil war in Ibino. The Tanzo family eventually quelled the rebellion, and issued many pardons for the sake of peace, but the bloodbath that Ryozan took part in made him cold and harsh. He was sent out to see the world, a common practice among kitsune who come of age, in the hope that time away from home would ease his pent up anger.
Name: Isaac Faust

Universe: Original Sci-Fi

Race: Genetically Modified Human (GMH)

Age: 23

Tier: Powered

Gender: Male

Height: 5'8''

Weight: 160 lbs.

Appearance: Very pale and lean, Isaac appears to be a typical nerd, however, a closer inspection reveals some significant muscle tone. He has short black hair, wears casual business attire when not in the lab, and usually wears a black vest. He has a relaxed, slightly slouched posture, and his face has sharp, pronounced features. He wears a pair of glasses as well with a thin wire frame.

Skills: Electrician - Isaac perfectly understands circuitry and how electric/electronic devices work. He is capable of wiring complex facilities and building precise electronic devices.

Computer Scientist - Isaac is an expert programmer who has experience creating algorithms for complex calculations as well as AIs capable of passing a Turing Test. He is an expert hacker, capable of exploiting any system's weaknesses as well as mentally encrypting/decrypting information.

Amateur Kickboxer - Isaac has learned the basics of kickboxing and can hold his own in unarmed combat, though any trained martial artist can outclass him in terms of technique.

Basic Arms Usage - Isaac has learned basic marksmanship with a handgun and knows basic self defense with bladed objects such as a combat knife, but any soldier with adequate training can outclass him in terms of technique.

Powers: GMH - As a genetically modified human, Isaac's physical attributes surpass that of an average human all across the board. He has enhanced strength, speed, stamina, agility, balance, and dexterity.

Human Capacitor - Isaac is immune to electrical shocks, and can store a massive amount of electrical energy in his body. He can draw electricity into his body if there is a source, such as storm clouds or a loose wire. He can also drain the power from a battery, but most batteries offer only a slight charge. Any excess electricity beyond his maximum charge simply flows through him and finds the shortest route to the ground.

Sixth Sense - Isaac can detect electric currents as a sixth sense. This allows him to to sense the flow of electricity through devices, as well as sense the neural firings through a living organism's body. He can use the flow of electricity in a device to determine its circuitry, and the circuitry to determine its function. The brain is too dense and active and appears as white noise to him, so he cannot read minds, but he can detect the difference between a conscious and unconscious mind.

Stun Strike - Isaac's blows are charged with electricity. In addition to the physical impact of each strike, he delivers 50,000 volts and .2 amps of electricity with every blow. He can also send this electric
shock through his body at any time. Each strike uses 1% of his maximum charge.

Battery Bomb - Isaac can use his powers to cause batteries of any kind to explode at will. Each volt of electric potential in a battery creates an explosion equal to one hand grenade. A battery bomb uses 1% of Isaac's maximum charge per volt.

Electric Arc - Isaac can release the energy stored in his body in a 100,000 watt (200,000V .5A) arc of electricity. Each second the arc is sustained drains 5% of Isaac's maximum charge. If his charge is completely depleted, he cannot use any of his electric attacks.

Psychic Scriptor- (Note: This ability is more relevant for story purposes than actual combat) The ability that makes Isaac feared across the galaxy. Isaac can psychically connect to any electronic system if he is within range of its wireless signal, or if a device that is a part of that system is within 10 feet. From that device, he can access any other device it is connected to so long as there is a flow of information or electricity. Within the system, he can freely alter any code or execute any functions. This ability requires intense concentration and so he cannot fight while using it, but he rarely needs to.

Weapons/Equipment: Carbon Fiber Vest - Isaac's vest appears to be a moderately fashionable piece of clothing, but actually contains a layer of carbon fiber protection.

Carbon Fiber Knife - Isaac carries with him a carbon fiber combat knife. Light weight, durable, and sharp as hell.

Glasses - Despite being a GMH, his eyes didn't come out so good, and so he needs to wear them. Without his glasses, he can still function, but he cannot read small print and he has difficulty recognizing faces from a distance.

20 AA batteries - Isaac carries these in the pocket of his vest. They're batteries, they're AA, and there's 20 of 'em. Each battery is 1.5V.

Bio: Isaac Faust was never supposed to exist. In fact, the plans for his birth were used as an argument against the GMH project. However, money often speaks louder than words, and a private organization got their hands on Isaac's "birth certificate," then immediately ordered their scientists to make him. He was given an education targeted towards maximizing the efficacy of his abilities. As a child, he was compliant enough, but as a teen he came to realize just how dangerous his abilities were. He wanted nothing to do with the military training they began subjecting him to, and so one night he used his ability to lock down the whole facility. Nobody could leave their rooms or move about the facility except Isaac; the young man deleted all records of his existence and hijacked a shuttle to earth, where he made a modest living as an indie game designer. The organization simply wrote him off.

One day, though, Isaac got bored. Like many people, he was sick of politicians, sick of corporate assholes, and sick of the sense of entitlement that so many people carried with him. So, he decided to change the universe. He started by deleting the stock market; "going paperless" proved to be its downfall. He then proceeded to delete the 100 largest bank accounts in the solar system, and caused all manner of inexplicable digital destruction, all while feeding the pigeons on a park bench. He left no previous states, no histories, not a single bit of information for his victims to go back to. For centuries, people had chanted "fight the system." He killed it in 30 minutes.

Isaac could have gotten away with the crime, but he decided to turn himself in. He wanted mankind's once great civilization to know the face of the man who tore it all down. They sent him to a high security prison on Charon, and for a while Isaac enjoyed the peace. But then one day he was approached once again by a certain organization...
Jin kept a pleasant expression as Akiko introduced herself, giving a small chuckle at the trite humor inherent in her name. "I suppose neither of us ought to be held accountable for our parents' taste, or lack thereof." Then, he beamed with pride when she complimented him on his mirror plan, apparently unafraid to wear his heart on his sleeve in front of her. And, at the mention of further amusement, his grin widened even further. It was clear from her adherence to the unwritten rules of their improvised game and the elegance with which she instilled chaos that the two of them would get along just fine. However, he wondered just how ambitious and adventurous she was. Peach stands spilling into market squares were great fun, no doubt, but his soul hungered for something bigger.

"I've only just arrived in this city myself," he said, placing his hands behind his head and leaning against the wall opposite Akiko in a relaxed fashion, "so I don't exactly know who runs this place yet, but I certainly intend on finding out." His grin of general pleasure curved into one laced with mischief. Any kitsune would know that look. Jin had decided to set his eyes far higher than the commoners who roamed the streets. "The humans were talking about a castle nearby. That means some big important guy must live there. I wonder what he's like..." Jin said no more about the matter, but his expression made it clear that this castle was going to be his new playground. He had spent enough time tormenting peasants in mountain villages. They were so predictable and easy for him to conquer. But aristocrats, he had only encountered those on a few occasions. Their reactions to his antics were priceless; perhaps it was so amusing because they were so certain that nothing could touch them. However, he had yet to hunt them in their own territory. He had spoiled their moods, but had had never turned their lives upside down.

He pushed off the wall, his mind made up, then looked over at Akiko. He had never worked with another fox before, not always out of unwillingness -- although he did have a couple of siblings he would care never to see again -- but mostly because of incompatibility. The others he had met were too cautious, too skittish, too content with small victories. Indeed, the others he met would have fled from the mirror. But this female, perhaps his idea would entice her rather than deter her. He looked her right in the eyes, his own torrid with eager ambition, and looked for the slightest flicker of emotion, be it excitement or timidity. They needed no words to play their game, and they needed no words here; if the thought did not enter her head from what was already said and drive her to pursue it, the unfortunately there would be little need for any further words between them.
