So I realized that the highest honor anyone can get is not to get a Nobel Peace prize, nor getting your name taught throughout history. It's being made into an Anime Character with giant boobs.

So where do I go after Elysium? I just made it through after beating a Chad-dude and his giant burly friend with horns at a break dancing contest.
Bio
About me: I am an amateur writer at best as I have had a bit of experience writing short novels and stories as a side gig (Don't ask me for help unless you are desperate. I barely know what I'm doing half the time!)
I mostly Rp on medieval fantasy, modern fantasy, and modern slice of life. However, I am always willing to do anything. And I have been roleplaying for about 8 years now.
I have a pretty open schedule right now, other than planning DnDs, and looking for a job. (Still praying that one day I can get payed to play DnD or by playing videogames, but I haven't made a dollar yet).
PLEASE IF YOU THINK I FORGOT AN RP MESSAGE ME!!!! I CAN GUARANTEE THAT I FORGOT AS I WAS PROBABLY PRAYING TO THE GODS OF CHAOS THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO WIN THE NEXT GAME OF MAGIC I'M GOING TO PLAY!!! (In all seriousness I'm very forgetful and scatter brained, just send me a message and I should be able to pump out that post in no time)
The partners I am looking for right now is people who are chill and relax as well as just some genuinely nice people to chat to and play with. Any style is fine, just be ready as there are time where it will take some time for advanced posts will take me a few days.
Other than that I like to listen to music and anytime someone asks me to do a thing, 90% of the time I will just do it as I just don't care enough. But I will not sing, my voice is garbage and I am not confident enough to even try to learn now.
When the blade hit Oscar was actually happy to feel that there was an impact. He had been practicing on hitting the pads rather than the person, as many would give up as the pain hurt too much for them to really want to spar. So he breathed out a sigh of relief as he continued in his slide as he shifts his body forward again and begins his running one more time.
Or he would if he didn't feel this cold shiver run down his spine as Hailey yelled out to both Nathaniel and himself. Yet Oscar still needed to focus, as he noticed Nathaniel fire off another energy shot, as Oscar mustered his strength again and fired off his legs and jumped away from the area he was in again. Oscar was concerned about what Hailey was yelling to them, but what caught his attention more was her shivering and fearful face. He started to quickly take off his helmet as he noticed Hailey had this dark fog around her. Once he got the helmet off, he yelled to Nathaniel, "Nate, Stop! Somethings up with Hailey!"
Oscar is ready for Nathaniel to not respond and fire again, as he did notice Nathaniel was slightly out of it. Not sure why though, might be that he is hyper-focused to make sure he puts everything he learned to the test. But Oscar doesn't want to get hit, so if Nathaniel fires a shot, Oscar will throw his helmet at Nathaniel in an attempt to get him to get out of his head and listen.
However, if Nathaniel listened, Oscar would head over to check on Hailey to make sure she is alright and comfort her with Henry. Who seemed to have taken a quick response to her episode as well.

Short Bio:
Samuel was born with his twin, Iris, to Richard and Joanne. Richard Matthews worked as a Star Ship Inspector and Joanne Matthews worked as a meteor miner. Mom was working one of the drills when she went into labor. 6 hours later, the twins were born. Iris was very healthy and came out screaming her lungs off. Samuel was born smaller and quiet, lacking constitution. As they grew, these differences at birth seemed to define their traits early in life.
Samuel was a runt for a good portion of his early life, more like a shadow to Iris. He never had the same fascination nor constitution to play outside, so he took to more indoor activities, like reading and academics. Samuel excelled at schooling, music, and drawing, passing and far exceeding all around him. Yet, no matter how far he shined above others, he always seemed to pull Iris with him and helped her in every way he could, never questioning a moment when she did not get a subject. However, like anyone, when he gets upset he can become mean and accidentally make Iris cry, which ends up with him comforting her by holding her and getting her candy. Even with his lesser physical body than normal, he pushed himself every way he could to play with Iris, sometimes getting hurt or sick, yet never letting it show as he always wished to play with his sister, even if it hurt him. He never could truly be too far away from Iris, to the point where he could go into literal fits of anger when forced to be away from her.
Their parents loved Iris and Samuel but not in the normal way. Having twins that were almost like opposites entertained them. Iris and Samuel were almost status symbols to them. Samuel took notice of this, as their parents almost seemed to enjoy them more being different rather than them being their kids to the point where the gifts they were given were meant to sell how close they were as siblings, adding to the look of the family unit. Samuel did not mind the gifts in the end, however, as Iris loved them too much to make him mad. He allowed her to take his clothing so they could match and made Iris feel as if they were closer than anything. To Samuel, they were, as she was the only thing he cared for. As few people played wit him, and their parents didn't seem too different either, just there enough to look like good parents, yet far enough away to be their own people.
Just turning 10 the day before Iris wasn't done celebrating with Samuel. Samuel got pulled along to a remote woodland park that Iris discovered the other day when she hopped on the bus for no reason. Samuel was nervous but they both being there everything should be fine. Samuel walked with Iris as she ran and played, Samuel was not much of one to play 'till his heart gave out, so he watched her as he walked with her and played a little here and there with her, yet once he saw Iris get tired they both noticed an ice cream truck. Iris quickly ran over to get them some cold treats, while Samuel took his time to come over. Yet a cold chill ran down his spine as he heard Iris' scream as if someone put fire into his blood, Samuel ran over with a speed he never knew he could muster, as his heart was in his throat when he saw a few men in black put Iris in the back of the ice cream truck. Samuel, in this adrenaline high, tried to reach into the van to grab Iris, yet saw the door shut, not even noticing for a moment his arm was gone until he felt a warm wet liquid run down his arm. His eyes seemed almost enraged as he yelled in pain, as his other arm reached up and threw open the door that was being blocked by his now dismembered arm. He shakily stepped in as he moved towards one of the men slowly and threw a soft almost lifeless punch as Samuel said, "Let…her go-", as Samuel passed out near Iris. The men quickly took his arm and applied biofoam to the breakage and stuck the arm back on with nanomachines, and took Samuel too, after all, the kid showed enough potential in such a small frame, what can these twins do together?
Samuel and Iris woke up to find themselves in a small grey room with each other with no visible doors and no windows, the air smells stale like there hasn't been fresh air here for years. Samuel quickly went over to keep Iris calm and make sure she was okay. This was the moment they were taken to an Ascendancy of Humanity Experimental site, where they were sent through a horrific blender of experiments and training. All the while being subjected to various humiliations and torture to slowly break down their sense of being and make them more weapons of war rather than people. However, anytime Iris seemed to have been overwhelmed by the grueling pains of missing the outside, Samuel was always there to make sure Iris knew he was there, and that they could get through this together and see the outside world again. As anytime they are given any form of sweet, may it be a fruit or otherwise, he would always give Iris his bit of sweet, as she seemed to love it more than he ever does, and in all honesty, her having a little smile is more than enough to make him happy.
After a few months of their stay at the Ascendancy of Man Project site, they met an older boy by the name of Tarak. Samuel found this boy strange he seemed to be older than any other child here and was brought in now as everyone else was brought in at the same time. Samuel found him strange as he was an outsider to this world of pain. Yet before Samuel could notice, the strange boy was already talking to many of the others, many Samuel never even talked as they kept to themselves. Samuel watched in great interest as the boy went from one child to another. Tarak seemed to have this strange aura about him as he had this strange charisma that made many of the toughest kids laugh or smile as it was almost like they saw their big brother again. Sam watched hoping to gain that ability to maybe be able to do the same for his sister, yet never noticed that Tarak was already there and about to talk to them. As when Tarak spoke, Samuel felt strange, as if the boys very existence was this soothing thing that made the pain wash away for a moment, yet Samuel never noticed as the boy was talking, he passed the boy a piece of candy and so he did the same for Iris. His smile seems to have shown through as he took the candy to Iris and gave her his piece of hard candy too. Samuel trusted Tarak, for some reason he just couldn't explain.
Like an omen, when Tarak started to train with them, it felt as if they were babying them, as they seemed to have kicked up the training. When this new level of training began, it was grueling. Being both physically and mentally demanding, everyday left Samuel exhausted beyond what he thought could be possible, as even the energetic Iris was left too tired to move. Yet, Tarak was always there to make sure they are taken care of, as he carried them back to the bunks when they were too tired to carry themselves to bed. Yet while during the training Samuel would keep Iris from falling apart when the training gets tough, and when in the bunks Iris and Samuel wound normally sleep together to keep each other sane while sleeping, as sometimes the yelling would never leave his ears, and sometimes he would wake up in a cold sweat as he felt the pain in his body radiate from his core outward as the pain was intense, yet while holding Iris, the pain subsides and he can at least gain some sleep.
Now finally completing the basic training, Samuel felt some kind of strange uneasiness as he noticed multiple kids missing. Samuel started looking for Tarak, becoming increasingly worried as he saw more kids randomly disappear. He ran to find Iris again as he spotted her and felt this calmness flow over him as he ran to hug her. Almost immediately after this calmness disappeared some agents came and grabbed Samuel and Iris. Samuel kicked and bucked as they tried separating the two of them, and after more struggling they finally allowed the two to be taken together, as they walked hand in hand Samuel was scared, scared what will happen. They were soon brought to a lab, as they were set on testing tables where they were no more than 5 feet apart. From this distance Samuel looked to Iris and mouthed to her, 'It's alright, I'm here'. Soon an impossibly hot liquid was sent through Samuel's veins, as he grits his teeth and silenced a scream that was about to tear out his lungs. His eyes watered as the liquid ran its' course, yet not a single peep left his lips because he knew if he screamed, Iris would be scared. Soon he found himself passing out from the pain. Later waking up in the arms of Iris as they were both taken back to their bunk.
When they started to learn magic, Samuel found out that any injury he or Iris sustained, the other sustained. The scientist started to test how far this strange connection goes, to the point of near torture to just see the response the other had. Samuel always felt the deep anger anytime he felt even a tinge of pain, as he headed over to find Iris to make sure she was okay. Almost like a sixth sense now Samuel was always there anytime he felt some tinge of pain or weakness, he knows where Iris is and even if she is okay. Feeling a bit like Tarak, he felt happy, happy that he is more like a big brother. Yet this was not the only magic they had, as they made many more, now to sync up and combine magics to help each other, as now in their training they were taught how to fight like a unit, to fight in tandem, and to always stay on the same wavelength, never losing focus, as they became a perfect machine. Samuel was more than willing to do so, so long Iris would be okay.
When the big wigs thought they were ready, Samuel and Iris were sent to war. A haze of blood and gun smoke covered Samuel's eyes, all he could see through that thick smog of death was a single goal, to make sure his sister was safe. Making sure that Iris would be okay in the end. They bleed together, fought together, and killed together. For the first year, all Samuel remembered was the hard nights with Iris as it was just them. Many of the other kids either died or were deployed elsewhere. Many of the soldiers and officers there treated them like dirt, many didn't even look at them as human, Samuel felt a rage build inside him as he watched them constantly berate and belittle Iris.
After a grueling year deep into this messy fighting, the war had been going for about a year and a half now, through the war, they were sent out on a joint mission with another child soldier. Samuel was warry at first as the 'child' towering over both of them. The 'child' was wearing a large suit of armor as he met both of them. At first, Samuel was very protective, until the person took off their helmet to show the face of Tarak. Samuel and Iris hadn't seen Tarak since they were injected with that serum that made them capable of using magic. Samuel felt the unease fall away as they started working with each other. Tarak seemed the same as always, a kind big brother, as when their little group of child soldiers grew, Tarak seemed to take more in under his wings, while never forgetting to give attention to Iris and Samuel, but Samuel was more than pleased to see Iris seeming to do better with all these other kids to play with.
After this point, the war seemed to be a bit happier? Samuel never knew what that feeling was, but he'll just say it was happy. Therewith these people that they could relate to made life a little easier. Samuel found Tarak was a glue that kept the kids around Iris happy, so Samuel found himself happy as well. As there were plenty of times where Tarak had to talk to a requisition officer to get sweets for the kids, most of the time it ended up as a no, there was the occasional 'extra shipment' of sweets the requisition officer found and had nothing to do with. Tarak took to the rationing of sweets as Samuel had always taken Iris' share, not for the fact he somehow gained a sweet tooth, but for the fact that he knew iris would eat all the candy so fast she would be sad once she had all of hers, then his, then Tarak's then probably 5 other kids candy. As really, Samuel knew Iris was too cute to say no too. These little things made Samuel feel okay, not about the war, but his life. He just had this nagging fear that wouldn't let go of him.
Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Samuel thought this was perfect! After all, to finish off the enemies here means all of them to get to go home. Get to live a normal life, and who knows, maybe Iris can get all the candy she wants when they all get home. So Samuel threw himself to this mission like it would be his last. This mission would be the most important mission they were ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Samuel realized this mission was doomed from the start as they were captured quickly, many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. As people went down, one by one, Samuel did his best to protect Iris, yet soon even they too were overwhelmed and taken down as Samuel protected Iris from a shot, yet realized too late that they were both affected by this strange poison that affected both of them.
Samuel awoke in a new place, as he shoots out of bed and starts looking around like a mad man. Finding himself in a singular cell as he closes his eyes and bites hard on his lip to tell Iris where he was, yet when she was to bite her lip back, he felt nothing. Strangely he felt…normal? No this felt strange as he called out for Iris, trying to hear for her yet through the yelling and crying of others Samuel couldn't tell which voice out of the sea of yelling was Iris' and he felt this dread as it felt like his heart was about to crack. As he felt tears well up as he sat onto his bed now at the mercy of their captors. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Samuel went out searching for Iris, as his eyes immediately landed on Tarak as he seemed to be looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know, as Tarak made his way over to Samuel and lead Samuel to Iris. Samuel tried acting tough, yet, holding Tarak's hand almost made him cry as he was afraid, afraid if Iris was oaky. Samuel saw Iris and he ran over to her and hugged her like he thought she was dead as he cried as he held her tight. Samuel felt lost without that little magic to know Iris was okay.
Holding Iris Samuel thought everything would be okay. Big bro was there, Iris was alright, and the aliens treated them well. Samuel and Iris were able to play with everyone else who was here and it was genuinely pleasant, the Rau've given them books, puzzles, and toys. Yet one thing struck Samuel in the heart when they heard their people signed a treaty and left them. A flame burned, unquenched by Tarak as he wanted to get revenge against those who did this to Iris and him. They took away their bid for a normal life, and dare to leave them in the hands of the Rau've. Many took the option, as they did, Samuel thought he would be here alone with iris, after all, that would be all he needed, yet, Tarak stayed. Samuel still feels strange Tarak is with them, after all, he deserved a good life, just like the others who left. Yet, he was still happy, Iris seemed to like having more than one big brother taking care of her. Samuel was originally going to just find any and every way to fuck with the Ascendancy, yet Tarak cooled him down to chase the rumors of Moonstrike, a resistance against the Ascendancy. Samuel just hopes Iris doesn't regret following him.
Spell List:
Gemini Link (Underworld)
- A passive spell that seemed to have been innate to the Matthews twins as it connects their very souls. With this deep connection, their strength and magic become more powerful the closer they are to each other. However, this same effect happens in vis versa as the farther they are away from each other the weaker they become.
Every 100 feet they are away they lose half of their strength to the point of being 1/10 of the strength of physical and magical power they normally have.
When they are 200 feet away from each other they are at their normal strength, as every 10 feet they are closer to each other they gain 10% extra strength of physical and magical power. This goes to the point where they are holding each other they gain Triple the strength of physical and magical power they naturally have.
- This deep connection has a few detrimental parts as when one of them gets wounded the other will get an identical wound, no matter how far they are from the other.
- Anytime someone is to heal one of them of their wounds, it will heal both of them. However, this is true with all things, including magics to help and hurt, poisons and medicines, and as well as anything that will affect one with some helpful or hurtful ailment.
Magitech Creation (HIgh) Samuel can create Magitech and can power existing Magitech.
Terrakinesis (World) The control and formation of earth, stone, and dust.
Electromagnetism (World) The control over electromagnetic forces, such as electricity, magnetic forces, etc.
Light Lance (High) A large lance made of bright white energy that spans about 7 feet in length and a foot in diameter at the largest part and goes down to a small point at the end. It hits as hard as a powerful laser that burns the target and makes it where magical entities are unable to heal from it.
Boogie Woogie (Underworld) Samuel can use Boogie Woogie to trade places with Iris. Having the orientation that was had by the other person (If Samuel was facing north and Iris was facing south they would switch positions to where Samuel was facing south and Iris was facing north).
The range is about 1000 feet.
They trade spots yet are doing the same action they were doing before the switch. So if Samuel was shooting, he would teleport to Iris' spot still shooting, and Vis verse shall happen to Iris.
Character Traits:
Combat Intuition:
Description: Samuel has an extreme understanding of the flow of battle, how enemies will react to his actions, and how to properly position himself and use his abilities for maximum effect.
Indominable Soul:
Description: Samuel has a heart made of steel, he has resolved his heart against all pain, all hardship, and everything before him to find his way to his goals. Increases resistance to all Mind Magic, greatly increases the effort needed to be mentally and physically be stopped and broken.
Weapon of the Weak:
Description: Samuel was born sickly and weak, he was not physically gifted, yet he had an aptitude for studies. He was not a super genius, but he worked his intelligence and learned as much as he could, forming a blade of wit and smarts.
Name: Tarak (Tear-ek) Codename: Hunter Wolf Age: 19 Almost 20 Physical Description: Standing at 6'7 and weighing 250 pounds this man is a tower of a man who has very dense muscles and strong frame, Tarak was born an imposing man, even at the ripe age of 11 he was at eye level with many adults' and could fight most to the ground with ease.
Important items:
- Used to interface with his Power armor and has a few other nifty features such as his Omni tool, a connection to his vitals, and a power source. Is made of these tough yet flexible metal plates that allow for a full range of motion without hindrance, and almost invisible while being underneath a thick shirt/jacket.
Wolf Armor: A powerful suit of armor that is virtually impervious to most conventional small arms fire, as a square hit is the only thing that will actually damage the suit, if at all. The suit comes with many nifty features that make Tarak more combat effective: H.U.D, micro thrusters, powered exoskeleton, life support, Adaptive Camo shroud, and mag boots.
Adaptive Camo Shroud: A Large detachable shroud that can be placed around the armor, objects, or using the nanite skeleton inside, creates an invisible cover that stands about 3 feet tall and covers a 7-foot length. This shroud disrupts both thermal signatures and electromagnetic signatures to track the suit and to hide that this shroud is made of electronics.
Advanced H.U.D: The head of the suit contains thermal vision, night vision, a connection to his vitals, his ammunition counter, and a direct connection to his Omni-tool.
Micro Thrusters- The suit has micro thrusters put onto the pack on the back of the suit and on the legs. These were designed for use in vacuum of space so that you don't get stranded in space. If you're creative enough you can find a few more uses out of them as well.
Powered Exoskeleton- The suit has a powered exoskeleton that keeps it moving, as it is too heavy carrying all of its natural weight. This allows for Tarak to move as fast as he normally would without the armor, and not to feel encumbered at all.
Life Support- A life support system integrated directly into the suits pack, that can sustain Tarak 4 hours at a time before needing to resupply. It also includes heating, cooling, pressurization stabilizer, and has an adaptive oxygen filtration system, that can kill off airborne living organisms through heated emissions. When a hole is made in the suit that would destroy its integrity a durable see-through gel will fill the area. There is enough gel to fill up to a 3 square foot area hole. The helmet is sealed off from the rest of the suit, to allow for probable survival if the lower bodysuit is compromised.
Magboots- Powerful electromagnets that are placed at the bottom of the feet of the suit. When these magnets are activated, Tarak is able to control them with normal steps, as the magnets turn on and off with his leg movements.
A Slug thrower Assault rifle that holds 40 rounds in the main rifle. The rifle fires large rounds that are covered in plasma to allow deep penetration into all targets.
The weapon has an underslung 30 mm gun/launcher. As the gun has many different rounds that can be shot through the gun, as these are his favorites:
- Phosphorus rounds, these burn in a 5-foot area that burns in the air and destroyed filtration systems. - High explosive rounds, these explode at the same level of a hand grenade and sends shrapnel and a concussive blast to those near it. - Stun grenades, an explosive round that impacts and explodes as it creates a loud sound and a flash of bright light that blinds people for a few seconds. - Rifle Round, a large rifle round can be fired through the lower gun as it can punch through most armor, however needs to be manually loaded with the second bolt for the lower gun.
A rifle that is 8 feet in length and weighs a solid 50 pounds. Fires a 30mm anti-armor plasma covered, depleted uranium rounds, that gives it additional punching power to tear through most known materials.
The scope is a high-tech piece of machinery that interfaces with the user's HUD, and Omni-tool to scale for wind factors, distance factors, barometric pressure, the gravity of any world, and even the curvature of the planet.
Galactic Credits - 10 thousand credits in digital form given by the former Rau've warden.
Arc lighter- An old arc lighter that seems to be used to be far beyond its year. Yet it still has used in it, as it seems very well maintained.
Short Bio:
Tarak was born on a backwater slum planet too far from any of the main traffic ways for the Ascendancy to really do much policing there. Making the Galirus System a den of thieves, crooks, and criminals, the perfect place for a child.
Tarak was born to a prostitute mother who died during his birth because of complications, and a Spacer father who left Tarak's mother after a one night stand. Tarak was given to an orphanage, where most kids were treated like shit. Fed 1/4 rations, normally kids were starved to near death and then forced to work and panhandle just to be allowed to eat. Tarak hated life here, many of these kids came here because they had nothing, Tarak treated them like siblings, as most here were no older than 4-5 years old, he, 6, was like a big brother as he was the one to steal for them, work harder for them, and even bleed for them when one of them was caught stealing.
Yet news of everyone keeping a bit of money to get away spread, and you know what they say when you steal from a Den of Thieves. Many of the kids were beaten to literal death by the 'caretakers', while others were sold off. Leaving Tarak one option when they left him for last, that night the orphanage burned. Tarek did save money, just enough to get an arc lighter, as he smoked the entire orphanage and blocked off all the doors. He killed his tormentors as he walked away, now with no family, no place to go, and nothing to eat, he took to the streets. After all, those same streets he worked never changed, they always have their jaws open, waiting.
As Tarak grew he took many different jobs, ranging from morally proper jobs such as delivering packages and being an errand boy, to the more morally diluted jobs. Some of the most noteworthy jobs include his smuggling, his prostitution, and his work with Mercenaries. His most consistent job was when he was taken in by the Incubus Mercenary Company, for his hunting and killing of the Hunter, a murderer and a target who had killed hundreds who had chased him down.
The Incubus took him in, a kid who is no older than 10 and standing at 5'8, with a hardened heart and combat skill is more than an asset, after all, a child is malleable. As Galirus was a horrid place in this Galaxy, it either eats you alive, or you become like a hungry demon. Tarak had confirmed over 100 jobs completed and over 200 confirmed kills within his 3 years of his employment with the Incubus Mercenary Group, all of this death under the name of Hunter Pawn. Being given all the gear he would even need, any weapon he wanted, any armor he chose, and any transportation that could be asked, as he was tasked to be the long arm of any client, never able to outrun them, as no matter how deep you may go, Hunter Pawn will dig you out, dead or alive.
During his time as a mercenary, he got a set of power armor for himself, to really feel apart of the whole mercenary group feel. The group even gave the armor a nifty paint job and did it up to the specifications he wanted, to really feel like apart of the family. This armor never really left Tarak as he felt safe in it, not because it was impervious to all forms of conventional injury, but for the reason, it is the first thing he was proud of, that and his arc lighter that he keeps on a chain, just in case.
However during one of these missions, he was caught out in a trap, set specifically for him. He was supposed to go on a simple mission to grab and bag a wanted fugitive, simple stuff. Yet, the mission felt weird, as Tarak has a sick sense, something was off, like someone was looking at the back of his head, as he kept patient watch as he was waiting for his mark, that sixth sense flared as he lurched his upper body out of the way as he saw a bullet smash through the concrete wall, as it was aiming for his center back. He let out a click of the tongue as he wiped around and let off a heavy burst of rounds towards the assailant, but found he was facing around 10 men with guns aimed at him, this had to be a trap. As the men let loose onto Tarak, his armor was more than a match for this level of firepower, after all, it was rated to stop a Coil rifle, but the sheer amount of fire slammed Tarak into a wall as he saw multiple men run-in with concussion rifles and continually fire off round after round, keeping him pinned to the wall as another group of men restrained him to the ground. Tarak bucked and kicked to get out of their hold, yet to no avail. As someone came over and took off Tarak's helmet and injected him with a sedative and knocked him out.
Tarak awoke in a small grey cell far bigger than most prison's the Galmar sector ever had. He scoffed as he paced the room and looked around and scanned the area for a way out, none. Tarak laid back down and waited for whoever was here to talk to him. As this was Tarak's first taste like in the care of the Ascendancy.
Here is one of the Ascendancy's Black sites, Tarak was experimented on humiliated, and tormented like he was nothing more than a piece of meat to a dog. Tarak never lashed out, as he knew from doing time in prison, even a peep means you get reprimanded. So he kept his head down, as the words the trainers put into him just pass through. Yet around a few months into the meat grinder, they call hell, Tarak started looking at the little kids around him. His eyes opened as he started to find these kids truly just kids, not child soldiers who went through his same pain, just kids taken from their families. With this revelation, Tarak started to take care of them like they were his own siblings.
He was almost 13 now, and all he wished to do was help all those around him. Kind of like this big brother instinct that was inside of him since the orphanage never died. He started to take care of the kids around him the best he could, carrying them when he needed to, encouraging them when he needed to, and giving some of the parts of his ration when they began to feel starved. The staff noticed the performance of the group increase, to the point where they found the kids here had strange quirks about them, this was probably something intended by the head scientist upon acquisition of these first batch of children. All candidates taken for this super soldier project seemed to have had some strange extraordinary talent. Some had great skills in strength, speed, or intelligence. Others were more intangible in nature, such as uncanny understanding of the battlefield, or, what Tarak would put into practice, his unnatural ability to defy the odds, and an uncanny ability to bring people together and lead.
After a year into the training of these soldiers, the scientists need to produce a working batch of super-soldiers, so they injected the children with the miracle liquid to have the kids be able to do magic. Each child seemed to have an attribute with magic, except Tarak. His abilities with magic were nil, as he was unable to manifest any conjuration of mana. They were to do tests on him to understand what is with him, yet the war started before they were able to. They decided to send out this batch of subjects as they sent Tarak off to another station to be tested on.
When he was moved to site Zeta Prime, he was introduced to the children there quickly. Knowing full well of Tarak's abilities as a calming agent to the kids, they did not test on Tarak immediately, knowing once they figure out his magic then they will be sent him out to fight in the front lines. Yet till then, Tarak took to tending with the kids there immediately, many of them have had terrible times here as he had started taking to tending to each one. Many seemed to have different struggles, some were near breaking because of the pressure while others have hardened themselves to stone. Tarak knew how to break every one of them out of their pains as he made sure each knew he was there. The worst had passed, and that it would be all okay, as big brother is here. Many different children clung to him like a sturdy pillar, as they found something to keep them going. Many times Tarak had taken the abuse for children, got them sweets by 'persuading' the scientists, and even had learned habits to help each kid there to cope with what is happening. He started to help others to learn how to help others, how to become stronger, and then eventually they wouldn't need him to keep them okay, they would be able to help each other, just like the twins.
Once the injections began again, they took Tarak off to test on him and found out he had this exceptional healing factor and an exceptional body. As they tested further they finally pinpointed his true magic, as he had a strange quirk with his magic, he had passive magic already innate to him, a rare breed. It was the ability to mitigate magic that affected him, as the scientists found his magic less than thrilling, and his aptitude to try and make magic is so abysmal, they decided to use him anyways, as a Vanguard. Tarak was given free rein with RND to enhance his old gear from Incubus to his specifications. He already had plenty of things he used with it, his main concern was his deployment as a Vanguard, so he had them up its armor, giving and exoskeleton, and extra thrusters, he had them modify the life-support to kill off microorganisms that could enter through the filtration system. As he was given a weapon of his own design and was sent off to war. Tarak wished he could say goodbye to the kids, but they will be asleep for too long, and they were rushing him out, all he could do was give a slight prayer, as they gave him the gear he required, plus some of his personal belongings he still had and was sent off.
Once Tarak was released and sent out to war, his feet never stopped moving. He was sent to rush into battle. Battle after battler, like a machine, he never let up, not for the fact he wished to be here, nor the fact the big wigs were telling him to do so, no, he was here for the children beside him and behind him. He rushed forward to spare those who had been with him at the start and had been fighting for this year or so. He missed the kids he met at the Black site, he missed the twins and their strange behavior, yet where ever Tarak went he wasn't missing family, as many of the kids warmed up to him and treated him as a big brother. He helped them learn how to fight well in this battlefield, he made sure they were alright, and even in the end, he pulled strings with old colleges in his old days he saw to get candy for the kids. As the number of the kids grew, they started getting split up into smaller groups, Tarak was quick on the upkeep, as he started teaching other children how to lead, how to make sure they keep others okay, and who to talk to for candy. As many of the kids left, Tarak was also one who had to leave, as he was going to be the captain of a new group of super-soldiers that had been just sent out.
And so the Ascendancy started to use Tarak as a tool to keep their other toys from breaking. Tarak had spent his time fighting with these kids, and acting as a big brother while also being a tool of the Ascendancy of Man in this war. Tarak never minded it though, as long as he could keep as many of them safe as he could, he didn't care, no matter how long it took, he was here for the long haul, after all, the hope is that when this war is over they will let the kids go, yet Tarak knew that wouldn't be the case. During one of his deployments, he met some old friends, the twins. He hadn't seen them in almost a year now, as the first thing he noticed was that they grew, but also the fact they didn't recognize him, he was off-put until he realized he was wearing his armor. He forgot about it, now it just feels like his skin to him, so he pulls off his helmet and introduces himself again. As a small reunion happened between Tarak and the children of Site Zeta Prime.
Soon after he had started to take people into his little army of 'demons'. Stating combat effectiveness of all are raised in this case, rather than sending him around to 'babysit' them and leave them after a few months. So it started with the kids from Zeta Prime then slowly as kids were introduced to the project and released to war, many had met the little army of kids known by the soldiers as, "The Army of Demons". As the army grew Tarak had started to take more of a Big Brother/Father role, as he was quite literally the oldest her, he had even taken it to the point of persuading requisition officers to start gaining the recourses for the kids. Sweets, ammo, replacement gear, and upgrades when the kids needed it for their growing bodies. Other than this, life was 'pleasant', as pleasant as Tarak's life has ever been. During this war he had grown a little shining to the Iris and Samuel, they seemed so genuine to who they were, and they seemed like extra special kids who every now and again forgot he wasn't their real Big Brother. All the kids he had been with made him genuinely happy, he wished to at least give them more. Yet, good dreams don't last forever, as he had to watch many kids die, many of which hurt him deeply, yet for the others he never showed it, always smiling, giving them the big brother they need.
Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Tarak didn't think finish off was ever the right word here, Tarak knew for a long time the Ascendancy was losing, this had to be a last-ditch effort to try and turn the war around. Tarak spent this time before helping the kids, getting them ready, and giving them a bit of extra candy, make sure they are happy, as he allowed Samuel to spread the news this might be it. Tarak couldn't break their excitement like that, even though he knew he should like Monarch would have told him to do. Tarak threw himself into the fray as far as he could, taking the heat for the kids, after all, a big brother needs to protect don't they?
The mission they would be sent on is one of the most important mission anyone here was ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Tarak realized this mission was doomed from the start before they even boarded as he felt his spine tingle like mad. They were captured quickly after the initial boarding, as many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. Many of the kids went down, one by one, Tarak did his best to protect everyone he could, the Twins, Ashton, Flame, and many others fell, as the Rau've let loose onto Tarak, as he had to hold his ground if he moved then the kids behind him would be caught in the onslaught of fire. As soon he started to overwhelmed by all the angles of fire, as they beat him down, he never bent a knee, as they continued to charge him as they finally wrestled Tarak to the ground and inject him with a sedative…just like last time.
Tarak Awoke, again in a prison. Except this place is different, lots of plants and stuff must be Rau've. They treated them well, as Tarak actually talked to their captors and took in the situation, as he asked them to provide entertainment and playtime with the others, as most will not actually do anything. The requests seemed to have been well received, as they were already planning to do that anyway. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Tarak took immediately to looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know. Iris soon found him as she started to bawl into his chest like many already have, yet she seemed weak as he set her down gently to help the others cope as well. Up until his eyes landed on Samuel and he saw the literal pain in his eyes as Tarak made his way over to Samuel. Tarak started to bring him over to Iris as he sees her nearly crying her eyes out as he leads both Samuel and Iris to each other and let them reunite. AS he let them go as he continued off onto his own to help the others.
Tarak spent this time talking to the Rau've and learning their language more fluently and spoke to them as soldiers would. Learning that soon a treaty will be struck and that the kids will be left to fend for themselves. Tarak was worried at first until the Rau've promised them new homes. Many of the kids originally didn't want to go, many for different reasons, however, one of the most powerful ones is the want to see the Ascendancy pay for them taking their futures away. Tarak knew he wouldn't be able to convince them to take the Rau've up on their offer, so he decided to go with them. After all, what kind of big brother would leave their younger siblings to do the fighting. So Tarak pulled some old connections with some solo mercenaries to get a clue on a resistance movement, Moonstrike. He found the others as he told them of Moonstrike, as that will be their line to follow. A rumor of a rebellion.
Spell List:
Hunter's Resilience (High)-
A passive spell that makes Tarak unique. He has a thin layer of magic constantly surrounding him, this layer of magic is quite unique as it gives him a strange resilience to magic. May it be because of the nature of High magic, or may it be the presence of magic, but anything he wears around his body will be covered in this thin area of warding magic that lessens the impact of magic on him.
Mind magic is slightly less effective, offensive magic is slightly dampened, and healing magic is less potent. Yes, this is two-way magic, both helpful spells and harmful spells are less effective. The effectiveness of the spells are reduced to the point where they are only 80% as effective against him. This does not include illusions cast onto the world like holograms, alterations of physical objects to attack him, and the high magic healing cancelation damage.
This does include all magics that are affecting his physical being specifically, so gravity manipulation of the area still includes him and will be dampened, and him stepping through a portal will cut around 1/5 of its time away from it's time it can be up, if there is one.
High Energy Coating (High)-
High Energy Coating (High)- Tarak is able to coat any object he is holding with High magic energy. This gives it the properties of plasma as well as the ability to stop magical healing. When used on his hands the plasma will act as a barrier and allow his hands to act like Plasma bladed weapons and can be used to block and deflect Plasma-based attacks.
Supernal Vision (High)-
Supernal Vision (High)- Tarak is able to see magic when Supernal Vision is activated. It can identify the school it is from based on the aura produced from the spell or magic and based on the size or density of the aura it can help to determine the power of a spell.
Magitech Creation (HIgh)-
Magitech Creation (HIgh)- Tarak has learned how to create and power Magitech. He doesn't use it in much of his gear, the only real thing is that he uses it for is to have his repair magic on his gear in case it is damaged.
Lapse in Judgment (Mind)-
Lapse in Judgment (Mind)- This spell takes advantage of the brain's natural inability to process all the little details around them without overworking itself and burning out. Instead of making Tarak invisible it instead makes his movements difficult to perceive since the brain doesn't recognize him as relevant information, thus making it appear as if they never noticed Tarak. In a fight, this is also effective as it will appear as if they just zoned out until the very moment Tarak is to strike.
Repair (Change)-
Repair (Change)- Tarak restores an object to its original state 24 hours ago. The more deteriorated or damaged the object is the higher the cost of repair. Tarak needs to have contact to repair the object. The size he can repair is up to a car, however, this can possibly drain him mattering on the damage done to it.
Character Traits:
The Luck of the Devil:
Description: No matter what might be said about Tarak and the misfortune he has been sent through, one thing has always been known, he has the Devil's own luck.

Wisdom of the Wolf:
Description: Tarak's insight and instincts are beyond that of a normal person's. He is able to read deeper into most things as his intuition is that of a seasoned detective. His deductions skills were fostered from his years as a bounty hunter and mercenary and then honed down when dealing with the many different children and people while being used by the Ascendancy. Yet his skills weren't just deduction it also is supernatural hunting instinct. His thoughts on their movement, how they'd react, and even where they are almost seem like he can read their mind. Yet this comes from years of experience from life or death experiences where a wrong move might mean he misses his mark, or worst, he becomes the prey.
Determination:
Description: Through all hardship, Tarak has never lost his will and drive. He has resistance to all forms of physical and mental attempts to 'break' or control him.

He is at his peak and will stay here for a very long time, he doesn't tire easily, is very strong, and has fantastic dexterity and agility. However, he has something very peculiar about his body, he is able to regenerate beyond normal means making mere stabs and bullet wounds will heal after a few moments, and the body will quickly stabilize things like missing organs and limbs rather than them being immediately lethal, however, he can have only one thing being stabilized at a time. A thought can be had it might be attached to the spinal Cybernetics upon his back that he dislikes people touching.
Name: Tarak (Tear-ek) Codename: Baal or Hunter Wolf Age: 19 Almost 20 Physical Description: Standing at 6'5 and weighing 250 pounds this man is a tower of a man who has very dense muscles and strong frame, Tarak was born an imposing man, even at the ripe age of 11 he was at eye level with many adults' and could fight most to the ground with ease.
Important items:
- Used to interface with his Power armor and has a few other nifty features such as his Omni tool, a connection to his vitals, and a power source. Is made of these tough yet flexible metal plates that allow for a full range of motion without hindrance, and almost invisible while being underneath a thick shirt/jacket.
Wolf Armor: A powerful suit of armor that is virtually impervious to most conventional small arms fire, as a square hit is the only thing that will actually damage the suit, if at all. The suit comes with many nifty features that make Tarak more combat effective: H.U.D, micro thrusters, powered exoskeleton, life support, Adaptive Camo shroud, and mag boots.
Adaptive Camo Shroud: A Large detachable shroud that can be placed around the armor, objects, or using the nanite skeleton inside, creates an invisible cover that stands about 3 feet tall and covers a 7-foot length. This shroud disrupts both thermal signatures and electromagnetic signatures to track the suit and to hide that this shroud is made of electronics.
Advanced H.U.D: The head of the suit contains thermal vision, night vision, a connection to his vitals, his ammunition counter, and a direct connection to his Omni-tool.
Micro Thrusters- The suit has micro thrusters put onto the pack on the back of the suit and on the legs. These were designed for use in vacuum of space so that you don't get stranded in space. If you're creative enough you can find a few more uses out of them as well.
Powered Exoskeleton- The suit has a powered exoskeleton that keeps it moving, as it is too heavy carrying all of its natural weight. This allows for Tarak to move as fast as he normally would without the armor, and not to feel encumbered at all.
Life Support- A life support system integrated directly into the suits pack, that can sustain Tarak 4 hours at a time before needing to resupply. It also includes heating, cooling, pressurization stabilizer, and has an adaptive oxygen filtration system, that can kill off airborne living organisms through heated emissions. When a hole is made in the suit that would destroy its integrity a durable see-through gel will fill the area. There is enough gel to fill up to a 3 square foot area hole. The helmet is sealed off from the rest of the suit, to allow for probable survival if the lower bodysuit is compromised.
Magboots- Powerful electromagnets that are placed at the bottom of the feet of the suit. When these magnets are activated, Tarak is able to control them with normal steps, as the magnets turn on and off with his leg movements.
A Slug thrower Assault rifle that holds 40 rounds in the main rifle. The rifle fires large rounds that are covered in plasma to allow deep penetration into all targets.
The weapon has an underslung 30 mm gun/launcher. As the gun has many different rounds that can be shot through the gun, as these are his favorites:
- Phosphorus rounds, these burn in a 5-foot area that burns in the air and destroyed filtration systems. - High explosive rounds, these explode at the same level of a hand grenade and sends shrapnel and a concussive blast to those near it. - Stun grenades, an explosive round that impacts and explodes as it creates a loud sound and a flash of bright light that blinds people for a few seconds. - Rifle Round, a large rifle round can be fired through the lower gun as it can punch through most armor, however needs to be manually loaded with the second bolt for the lower gun.
Galactic Credits - 10 thousand credits in digital form given by the former Rau've warden.
Arc lighter- An old arc lighter that seems to be used to be far beyond its year. Yet it still has used in it, as it seems very well maintained.
Short Bio:
Tarak was born on a backwater slum planet too far from any of the main traffic ways for the Ascendancy to really do much policing there. Making the Galirus System a den of thieves, crooks, and criminals, the perfect place for a child.
Tarak was born to a prostitute mother who died during his birth because of complications, and a Spacer father who left Tarak's mother after a one night stand. Tarak was given to an orphanage, where most kids were treated like shit. Fed 1/4 rations, normally kids were starved to near death and then forced to work and panhandle just to be allowed to eat. Tarak hated life here, many of these kids came here because they had nothing, Tarak treated them like siblings, as most here were no older than 4-5 years old, he, 6, was like a big brother as he was the one to steal for them, work harder for them, and even bleed for them when one of them was caught stealing.
Yet news of everyone keeping a bit of money to get away spread, and you know what they say when you steal from a Den of Thieves. Many of the kids were beaten to literal death by the 'caretakers', while others were sold off. Leaving Tarak one option when they left him for last, that night the orphanage burned. Tarek did save money, just enough to get an arc lighter, as he smoked the entire orphanage and blocked off all the doors. He killed his tormentors as he walked away, now with no family, no place to go, and nothing to eat, he took to the streets. After all, those same streets he worked never changed, they always have their jaws open, waiting.
As Tarak grew he took many different jobs, ranging from morally proper jobs such as delivering packages and being an errand boy, to the more morally diluted jobs. Some of the most noteworthy jobs include his smuggling, his prostitution, and his work with Mercenaries. His most consistent job was when he was taken in by the Incubus Mercenary Company, for his hunting and killing of the Hunter, a murderer and a target who had killed hundreds who had chased him down.
The Incubus took him in, a kid who is no older than 10 and standing at 5'8, with a hardened heart and combat skill is more than an asset, after all, a child is malleable. As Galirus was a horrid place in this Galaxy, it either eats you alive, or you become like a hungry demon. Tarak had confirmed over 100 jobs completed and over 200 confirmed kills within his 3 years of his employment with the Incubus Mercenary Group, all of this death under the name of Hunter Pawn. Being given all the gear he would even need, any weapon he wanted, any armor he chose, and any transportation that could be asked, as he was tasked to be the long arm of any client, never able to outrun them, as no matter how deep you may go, Hunter Pawn will dig you out, dead or alive.
During his time as a mercenary, he got a set of power armor for himself, to really feel apart of the whole mercenary group feel. The group even gave the armor a nifty paint job and did it up to the specifications he wanted, to really feel like apart of the family. This armor never really left Tarak as he felt safe in it, not because it was impervious to all forms of conventional injury, but for the reason, it is the first thing he was proud of, that and his arc lighter that he keeps on a chain, just in case.
However during one of these missions, he was caught out in a trap, set specifically for him. He was supposed to go on a simple mission to grab and bag a wanted fugitive, simple stuff. Yet, the mission felt weird, as Tarak has a sick sense, something was off, like someone was looking at the back of his head, as he kept patient watch as he was waiting for his mark, that sixth sense flared as he lurched his upper body out of the way as he saw a bullet smash through the concrete wall, as it was aiming for his center back. He let out a click of the tongue as he wiped around and let off a heavy burst of rounds towards the assailant, but found he was facing around 10 men with guns aimed at him, this had to be a trap. As the men let loose onto Tarak, his armor was more than a match for this level of firepower, after all, it was rated to stop a Coil rifle, but the sheer amount of fire slammed Tarak into a wall as he saw multiple men run-in with concussion rifles and continually fire off round after round, keeping him pinned to the wall as another group of men restrained him to the ground. Tarak bucked and kicked to get out of their hold, yet to no avail. As someone came over and took off Tarak's helmet and injected him with a sedative and knocked him out.
Tarak awoke in a small grey cell far bigger than most prison's the Galmar sector ever had. He scoffed as he paced the room and looked around and scanned the area for a way out, none. Tarak laid back down and waited for whoever was here to talk to him. As this was Tarak's first taste like in the care of the Ascendancy.
Here is one of the Ascendancy's Black sites, Tarak was experimented on humiliated, and tormented like he was nothing more than a piece of meat to a dog. Tarak never lashed out, as he knew from doing time in prison, even a peep means you get reprimanded. So he kept his head down, as the words the trainers put into him just pass through. Yet around a few months into the meat grinder, they call hell, Tarak started looking at the little kids around him. His eyes opened as he started to find these kids truly just kids, not child soldiers who went through his same pain, just kids taken from their families. With this revelation, Tarak started to take care of them like they were his own siblings.
He was almost 13 now, and all he wished to do was help all those around him. Kind of like this big brother instinct that was inside of him since the orphanage never died. He started to take care of the kids around him the best he could, carrying them when he needed to, encouraging them when he needed to, and giving some of the parts of his ration when they began to feel starved. The staff noticed the performance of the group increase, to the point where they found the kids here had strange quirks about them, this was probably something intended by the head scientist upon acquisition of these first batch of children. All candidates taken for this super soldier project seemed to have had some strange extraordinary talent. Some had great skills in strength, speed, or intelligence. Others were more intangible in nature, such as uncanny understanding of the battlefield, or, what Tarak would put into practice, his unnatural ability to defy the odds, and an uncanny ability to bring people together and lead.
After a year into the training of these soldiers, the scientists need to produce a working batch of super-soldiers, so they injected the children with the miracle liquid to have the kids be able to do magic. Each child seemed to have an attribute with magic, except Tarak. His abilities with magic were nil, as he was unable to manifest any conjuration of mana. They were to do tests on him to understand what is with him, yet the war started before they were able to. They decided to send out this batch of subjects as they sent Tarak off to another station to be tested on.
When he was moved to site Zeta Prime, he was introduced to the children there quickly. Knowing full well of Tarak's abilities as a calming agent to the kids, they did not test on Tarak immediately, knowing once they figure out his magic then they will be sent him out to fight in the front lines. Yet till then, Tarak took to tending with the kids there immediately, many of them have had terrible times here as he had started taking to tending to each one. Many seemed to have different struggles, some were near breaking because of the pressure while others have hardened themselves to stone. Tarak knew how to break every one of them out of their pains as he made sure each knew he was there. The worst had passed, and that it would be all okay, as big brother is here. Many different children clung to him like a sturdy pillar, as they found something to keep them going. Many times Tarak had taken the abuse for children, got them sweets by 'persuading' the scientists, and even had learned habits to help each kid there to cope with what is happening. He started to help others to learn how to help others, how to become stronger, and then eventually they wouldn't need him to keep them okay, they would be able to help each other, just like the twins.
Once the injections began again, they took Tarak off to test on him and found out he had this exceptional healing factor and an exceptional body. As they tested further they finally pinpointed his true magic, as he had a strange quirk with his magic, he had passive magic already innate to him, a rare breed. It was the ability to mitigate magic that affected him, as the scientists found his magic less than thrilling, and his aptitude to try and make magic is so abysmal, they decided to use him anyways, as a Vanguard. Tarak was given free rein with RND to enhance his old gear from Incubus to his specifications. He already had plenty of things he used with it, his main concern was his deployment as a Vanguard, so he had them up its armor, giving and exoskeleton, and extra thrusters, he had them modify the life-support to kill off microorganisms that could enter through the filtration system. As he was given a weapon of his own design and was sent off to war. Tarak wished he could say goodbye to the kids, but they will be asleep for too long, and they were rushing him out, all he could do was give a slight prayer, as they gave him the gear he required, plus some of his personal belongings he still had and was sent off.
Once Tarak was released and sent out to war, his feet never stopped moving. He was sent to rush into battle. Battle after battler, like a machine, he never let up, not for the fact he wished to be here, nor the fact the big wigs were telling him to do so, no, he was here for the children beside him and behind him. He rushed forward to spare those who had been with him at the start and had been fighting for this year or so. He missed the kids he met at the Black site, he missed the twins and their strange behavior, yet where ever Tarak went he wasn't missing family, as many of the kids warmed up to him and treated him as a big brother. He helped them learn how to fight well in this battlefield, he made sure they were alright, and even in the end, he pulled strings with old colleges in his old days he saw to get candy for the kids. As the number of the kids grew, they started getting split up into smaller groups, Tarak was quick on the upkeep, as he started teaching other children how to lead, how to make sure they keep others okay, and who to talk to for candy. As many of the kids left, Tarak was also one who had to leave, as he was going to be the captain of a new group of super-soldiers that had been just sent out.
And so the Ascendancy started to use Tarak as a tool to keep their other toys from breaking. Tarak had spent his time fighting with these kids, and acting as a big brother while also being a tool of the Ascendancy of Man in this war. Tarak never minded it though, as long as he could keep as many of them safe as he could, he didn't care, no matter how long it took, he was here for the long haul, after all, the hope is that when this war is over they will let the kids go, yet Tarak knew that wouldn't be the case. During one of his deployments, he met some old friends, the twins. He hadn't seen them in almost a year now, as the first thing he noticed was that they grew, but also the fact they didn't recognize him, he was off-put until he realized he was wearing his armor. He forgot about it, now it just feels like his skin to him, so he pulls off his helmet and introduces himself again. As a small reunion happened between Tarak and the children of Site Zeta Prime.
Soon after he had started to take people into his little army of 'demons'. Stating combat effectiveness of all are raised in this case, rather than sending him around to 'babysit' them and leave them after a few months. So it started with the kids from Zeta Prime then slowly as kids were introduced to the project and released to war, many had met the little army of kids known by the soldiers as, "The Army of Demons". As the army grew Tarak had started to take more of a Big Brother/Father role, as he was quite literally the oldest her, he had even taken it to the point of persuading requisition officers to start gaining the recourses for the kids. Sweets, ammo, replacement gear, and upgrades when the kids needed it for their growing bodies. Other than this, life was 'pleasant', as pleasant as Tarak's life has ever been. During this war he had grown a little shining to the Iris and Samuel, they seemed so genuine to who they were, and they seemed like extra special kids who every now and again forgot he wasn't their real Big Brother. All the kids he had been with made him genuinely happy, he wished to at least give them more. Yet, good dreams don't last forever, as he had to watch many kids die, many of which hurt him deeply, yet for the others he never showed it, always smiling, giving them the big brother they need.
Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Tarak didn't think finish off was ever the right word here, Tarak knew for a long time the Ascendancy was losing, this had to be a last-ditch effort to try and turn the war around. Tarak spent this time before helping the kids, getting them ready, and giving them a bit of extra candy, make sure they are happy, as he allowed Samuel to spread the news this might be it. Tarak couldn't break their excitement like that, even though he knew he should like Monarch would have told him to do. Tarak threw himself into the fray as far as he could, taking the heat for the kids, after all, a big brother needs to protect don't they?
The mission they would be sent on is one of the most important mission anyone here was ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Tarak realized this mission was doomed from the start before they even boarded as he felt his spine tingle like mad. They were captured quickly after the initial boarding, as many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. Many of the kids went down, one by one, Tarak did his best to protect everyone he could, the Twins, Ashton, Flame, and many others fell, as the Rau've let loose onto Tarak, as he had to hold his ground if he moved then the kids behind him would be caught in the onslaught of fire. As soon he started to overwhelmed by all the angles of fire, as they beat him down, he never bent a knee, as they continued to charge him as they finally wrestled Tarak to the ground and inject him with a sedative…just like last time.
Tarak Awoke, again in a prison. Except this place is different, lots of plants and stuff must be Rau've. They treated them well, as Tarak actually talked to their captors and took in the situation, as he asked them to provide entertainment and playtime with the others, as most will not actually do anything. The requests seemed to have been well received, as they were already planning to do that anyway. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Tarak took immediately to looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know. Iris soon found him as she started to bawl into his chest like many already have, yet she seemed weak as he set her down gently to help the others cope as well. Up until his eyes landed on Samuel and he saw the literal pain in his eyes as Tarak made his way over to Samuel. Tarak started to bring him over to Iris as he sees her nearly crying her eyes out as he leads both Samuel and Iris to each other and let them reunite. AS he let them go as he continued off onto his own to help the others.
Tarak spent this time talking to the Rau've and learning their language more fluently and spoke to them as soldiers would. Learning that soon a treaty will be struck and that the kids will be left to fend for themselves. Tarak was worried at first until the Rau've promised them new homes. Many of the kids originally didn't want to go, many for different reasons, however, one of the most powerful ones is the want to see the Ascendancy pay for them taking their futures away. Tarak knew he wouldn't be able to convince them to take the Rau've up on their offer, so he decided to go with them. After all, what kind of big brother would leave their younger siblings to do the fighting. So Tarak pulled some old connections with some solo mercenaries to get a clue on a resistance movement, Moonstrike. He found the others as he told them of Moonstrike, as that will be their line to follow. A rumor of a rebellion.
Spell List:
Hunter's Resilience (High)-
A passive spell that makes Tarak unique. He has a thin layer of magic constantly surrounding him, this layer of magic is quite unique as it gives him a strange resilience to magic. May it be because of the nature of High magic, or may it be the presence of magic, but anything he wears around his body will be covered in this thin area of warding magic that lessens the impact of magic on him.
Mind magic is slightly less effective, offensive magic is slightly dampened, and healing magic is less potent. Yes, this is two-way magic, both helpful spells and harmful spells are less effective. The effectiveness of the spells are reduced to the point where they are only 80% as effective against him. This does not include illusions cast onto the world like holograms, alterations of physical objects to attack him, and the high magic healing cancelation damage.
This does include all magics that are affecting his physical being specifically, so gravity manipulation of the area still includes him and will be dampened, and him stepping through a portal will cut around 1/5 of its time away from it's time it can be up, if there is one.
Exceptional Skill List:
Wisdom of Solomon (Exceptional Leadership, Luck, & Insight)
Exceptional Leadership, Unnatural charisma, and the strange charisma to lead others even when they wish not to follow, may they be either too afraid or too stubborn.
Exceptional Luck, Unnatural luck in all things from small gambles to becoming lucky enough to make the right call in a life or death situation.
Exceptional Insight, Unnatural insight and instincts, able to read deeper into most things, as his very intuition and understanding can be seen to almost onto the same level as detectives.
Demonic Resilience (Exceptional Will power & Natural Healing (Augmented))
Exceptional Will power, Unnatural resistance to magical mind-altering effects, and the mental fortitude to push through anything that is set before him, no matter the odds.
Exceptional Natural Healing (Augmented), Unnatural regenerative powers that far exceed the known human body, making were stabs and bullet wounds will heal after a few moments, and the body will quickly stabilize things like missing organs and limbs rather than them being immediately lethal, however, he can have only one thing being stabilized at a time.

The power output of the energy bolt is lesser than the normal Light Lance, however, each shot still has the same effect of not being able to be healed if attacking a magical object or a being able to use magic.

Short Bio:
Samuel was born with his twin, Iris, to Richard and Joanne. Richard Matthews worked as a Star Ship Inspector and Joanne Matthews worked as a meteor miner. Mom was working one of the drills when she went into labor. 6 hours later, the twins were born. Iris was very healthy and came out screaming her lungs off. Samuel was born smaller and quiet, lacking constitution. As they grew, these differences at birth seemed to define their traits early in life.
Samuel was a runt for a good portion of his early life, more like a shadow to Iris. He never had the same fascination nor constitution to play outside, so he took to more indoor activities, like reading and academics. Samuel excelled at schooling, music, and drawing, passing and far exceeding all around him. Yet, no matter how far he shined above others, he always seemed to pull Iris with him and helped her in every way he could, never questioning a moment when she did not get a subject. However, like anyone, when he gets upset he can become mean and accidentally make Iris cry, which ends up with him comforting her by holding her and getting her candy. Even with his lesser physical body than normal, he pushed himself every way he could to play with Iris, sometimes getting hurt or sick, yet never letting it show as he always wished to play with his sister, even if it hurt him. He never could truly be too far away from Iris, to the point where he could go into literal fits of anger when forced to be away from her.
Their parents loved Iris and Samuel but not in the normal way. Having twins that were almost like opposites entertained them. Iris and Samuel were almost status symbols to them. Samuel took notice of this, as their parents almost seemed to enjoy them more being different rather than them being their kids to the point where the gifts they were given were meant to sell how close they were as siblings, adding to the look of the family unit. Samuel did not mind the gifts in the end, however, as Iris loved them too much to make him mad. He allowed her to take his clothing so they could match and made Iris feel as if they were closer than anything. To Samuel, they were, as she was the only thing he cared for. As few people played wit him, and their parents didn't seem too different either, just there enough to look like good parents, yet far enough away to be their own people.
Just turning 10 the day before Iris wasn't done celebrating with Samuel. Samuel got pulled along to a remote woodland park that Iris discovered the other day when she hopped on the bus for no reason. Samuel was nervous but they both being there everything should be fine. Samuel walked with Iris as she ran and played, Samuel was not much of one to play 'till his heart gave out, so he watched her as he walked with her and played a little here and there with her, yet once he saw Iris get tired they both noticed an ice cream truck. Iris quickly ran over to get them some cold treats, while Samuel took his time to come over. Yet a cold chill ran down his spine as he heard Iris' scream as if someone put fire into his blood, Samuel ran over with a speed he never knew he could muster, as his heart was in his throat when he saw a few men in black put Iris in the back of the ice cream truck. Samuel, in this adrenaline high, tried to reach into the van to grab Iris, yet saw the door shut, not even noticing for a moment his arm was gone until he felt a warm wet liquid run down his arm. His eyes seemed almost enraged as he yelled in pain, as his other arm reached up and threw open the door that was being blocked by his now dismembered arm. He shakily stepped in as he moved towards one of the men slowly and threw a soft almost lifeless punch as Samuel said, "Let…her go-", as Samuel passed out near Iris. The men quickly took his arm and applied biofoam to the breakage and stuck the arm back on with nanomachines, and took Samuel too, after all, the kid showed enough potential in such a small frame, what can these twins do together?
Samuel and Iris woke up to find themselves in a small grey room with each other with no visible doors and no windows, the air smells stale like there hasn't been fresh air here for years. Samuel quickly went over to keep Iris calm and make sure she was okay. This was the moment they were taken to an Ascendancy of Humanity Experimental site, where they were sent through a horrific blender of experiments and training. All the while being subjected to various humiliations and torture to slowly break down their sense of being and make them more weapons of war rather than people. However, anytime Iris seemed to have been overwhelmed by the grueling pains of missing the outside, Samuel was always there to make sure Iris knew he was there, and that they could get through this together and see the outside world again. As anytime they are given any form of sweet, may it be a fruit or otherwise, he would always give Iris his bit of sweet, as she seemed to love it more than he ever does, and in all honesty, her having a little smile is more than enough to make him happy.
After a few months of their stay at the Ascendancy of Man Project site, they met an older boy by the name of Tarak. Samuel found this boy strange he seemed to be older than any other child here and was brought in now as everyone else was brought in at the same time. Samuel found him strange as he was an outsider to this world of pain. Yet before Samuel could notice, the strange boy was already talking to many of the others, many Samuel never even talked as they kept to themselves. Samuel watched in great interest as the boy went from one child to another. Tarak seemed to have this strange aura about him as he had this strange charisma that made many of the toughest kids laugh or smile as it was almost like they saw their big brother again. Sam watched hoping to gain that ability to maybe be able to do the same for his sister, yet never noticed that Tarak was already there and about to talk to them. As when Tarak spoke, Samuel felt strange, as if the boys very existence was this soothing thing that made the pain wash away for a moment, yet Samuel never noticed as the boy was talking, he passed the boy a piece of candy and so he did the same for Iris. His smile seems to have shown through as he took the candy to Iris and gave her his piece of hard candy too. Samuel trusted Tarak, for some reason he just couldn't explain.
Like an omen, when Tarak started to train with them, it felt as if they were babying them, as they seemed to have kicked up the training. When this new level of training began, it was grueling. Being both physically and mentally demanding, everyday left Samuel exhausted beyond what he thought could be possible, as even the energetic Iris was left too tired to move. Yet, Tarak was always there to make sure they are taken care of, as he carried them back to the bunks when they were too tired to carry themselves to bed. Yet while during the training Samuel would keep Iris from falling apart when the training gets tough, and when in the bunks Iris and Samuel wound normally sleep together to keep each other sane while sleeping, as sometimes the yelling would never leave his ears, and sometimes he would wake up in a cold sweat as he felt the pain in his body radiate from his core outward as the pain was intense, yet while holding Iris, the pain subsides and he can at least gain some sleep.
Now finally completing the basic training, Samuel felt some kind of strange uneasiness as he noticed multiple kids missing. Samuel started looking for Tarak, becoming increasingly worried as he saw more kids randomly disappear. He ran to find Iris again as he spotted her and felt this calmness flow over him as he ran to hug her. Almost immediately after this calmness disappeared some agents came and grabbed Samuel and Iris. Samuel kicked and bucked as they tried separating the two of them, and after more struggling they finally allowed the two to be taken together, as they walked hand in hand Samuel was scared, scared what will happen. They were soon brought to a lab, as they were set on testing tables where they were no more than 5 feet apart. From this distance Samuel looked to Iris and mouthed to her, 'It's alright, I'm here'. Soon an impossibly hot liquid was sent through Samuel's veins, as he grits his teeth and silenced a scream that was about to tear out his lungs. His eyes watered as the liquid ran its' course, yet not a single peep left his lips because he knew if he screamed, Iris would be scared. Soon he found himself passing out from the pain. Later waking up in the arms of Iris as they were both taken back to their bunk.
When they started to learn magic, Samuel found out that any injury he or Iris sustained, the other sustained. The scientist started to test how far this strange connection goes, to the point of near torture to just see the response the other had. Samuel always felt the deep anger anytime he felt even a tinge of pain, as he headed over to find Iris to make sure she was okay. Almost like a sixth sense now Samuel was always there anytime he felt some tinge of pain or weakness, he knows where Iris is and even if she is okay. Feeling a bit like Tarak, he felt happy, happy that he is more like a big brother. Yet this was not the only magic they had, as they made many more, now to sync up and combine magics to help each other, as now in their training they were taught how to fight like a unit, to fight in tandem, and to always stay on the same wavelength, never losing focus, as they became a perfect machine. Samuel was more than willing to do so, so long Iris would be okay.
When the big wigs thought they were ready, Samuel and Iris were sent to war. A haze of blood and gun smoke covered Samuel's eyes, all he could see through that thick smog of death was a single goal, to make sure his sister was safe. Making sure that Iris would be okay in the end. They bleed together, fought together, and killed together. For the first year, all Samuel remembered was the hard nights with Iris as it was just them. Many of the other kids either died or were deployed elsewhere. Many of the soldiers and officers there treated them like dirt, many didn't even look at them as human, Samuel felt a rage build inside him as he watched them constantly berate and belittle Iris.
After a grueling year deep into this messy fighting, the war had been going for about a year and a half now, through the war, they were sent out on a joint mission with another child soldier. Samuel was warry at first as the 'child' towering over both of them. The 'child' was wearing a large suit of armor as he met both of them. At first, Samuel was very protective, until the person took off their helmet to show the face of Tarak. Samuel and Iris hadn't seen Tarak since they were injected with that serum that made them capable of using magic. Samuel felt the unease fall away as they started working with each other. Tarak seemed the same as always, a kind big brother, as when their little group of child soldiers grew, Tarak seemed to take more in under his wings, while never forgetting to give attention to Iris and Samuel, but Samuel was more than pleased to see Iris seeming to do better with all these other kids to play with.
After this point, the war seemed to be a bit happier? Samuel never knew what that feeling was, but he'll just say it was happy. Therewith these people that they could relate to made life a little easier. Samuel found Tarak was a glue that kept the kids around Iris happy, so Samuel found himself happy as well. As there were plenty of times where Tarak had to talk to a requisition officer to get sweets for the kids, most of the time it ended up as a no, there was the occasional 'extra shipment' of sweets the requisition officer found and had nothing to do with. Tarak took to the rationing of sweets as Samuel had always taken Iris' share, not for the fact he somehow gained a sweet tooth, but for the fact that he knew iris would eat all the candy so fast she would be sad once she had all of hers, then his, then Tarak's then probably 5 other kids candy. As really, Samuel knew Iris was too cute to say no too. These little things made Samuel feel okay, not about the war, but his life. He just had this nagging fear that wouldn't let go of him.
Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Samuel thought this was perfect! After all, to finish off the enemies here means all of them to get to go home. Get to live a normal life, and who knows, maybe Iris can get all the candy she wants when they all get home. So Samuel threw himself to this mission like it would be his last. This mission would be the most important mission they were ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Samuel realized this mission was doomed from the start as they were captured quickly, many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. As people went down, one by one, Samuel did his best to protect Iris, yet soon even they too were overwhelmed and taken down as Samuel protected Iris from a shot, yet realized too late that they were both affected by this strange poison that affected both of them.
Samuel awoke in a new place, as he shoots out of bed and starts looking around like a mad man. Finding himself in a singular cell as he closes his eyes and bites hard on his lip to tell Iris where he was, yet when she was to bite her lip back, he felt nothing. Strangely he felt…normal? No this felt strange as he called out for Iris, trying to hear for her yet through the yelling and crying of others Samuel couldn't tell which voice out of the sea of yelling was Iris' and he felt this dread as it felt like his heart was about to crack. As he felt tears well up as he sat onto his bed now at the mercy of their captors. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Samuel went out searching for Iris, as his eyes immediately landed on Tarak as he seemed to be looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know, as Tarak made his way over to Samuel and lead Samuel to Iris. Samuel tried acting tough, yet, holding Tarak's hand almost made him cry as he was afraid, afraid if Iris was oaky. Samuel saw Iris and he ran over to her and hugged her like he thought she was dead as he cried as he held her tight. Samuel felt lost without that little magic to know Iris was okay.
Holding Iris Samuel thought everything would be okay. Big bro was there, Iris was alright, and the aliens treated them well. Samuel and Iris were able to play with everyone else who was here and it was genuinely pleasant, the Rau've given them books, puzzles, and toys. Yet one thing struck Samuel in the heart when they heard their people signed a treaty and left them. A flame burned, unquenched by Tarak as he wanted to get revenge against those who did this to Iris and him. They took away their bid for a normal life, and dare to leave them in the hands of the Rau've. Many took the option, as they did, Samuel thought he would be here alone with iris, after all, that would be all he needed, yet, Tarak stayed. Samuel still feels strange Tarak is with them, after all, he deserved a good life, just like the others who left. Yet, he was still happy, Iris seemed to like having more than one big brother taking care of her. Samuel was originally going to just find any and every way to fuck with the Ascendancy, yet Tarak cooled him down to chase the rumors of Moonstrike, a resistance against the Ascendancy. Samuel just hopes Iris doesn't regret following him.
Spell List:
Gemini Link (Underworld)
- A passive spell that seemed to have been innate to the Matthews twins as it connects their very souls. With this deep connection, their strength and magic become more powerful the closer they are to each other. However, this same effect happens in vis versa as the farther they are away from each other the weaker they become.
Every 100 feet they are away they lose half of their strength to the point of being 1/10 of the strength of physical and magical power they normally have.
When they are 200 feet away from each other they are at their normal strength, as every 10 feet they are closer to each other they gain 10% extra strength of physical and magical power. This goes to the point where they are holding each other they gain Triple the strength of physical and magical power they naturally have.
- This deep connection has a few detrimental parts as when one of them gets wounded the other will get an identical wound, no matter how far they are from the other.
- Anytime someone is to heal one of them of their wounds, it will heal both of them. However, this is true with all things, including magics to help and hurt, poisons and medicines, and as well as anything that will affect one with some helpful or hurtful ailment.
Magitech Creation (HIgh) Samuel can create Magitech and can power existing Magitech.
Terrakinesis (World) The control and formation of earth, stone, and dust.
Electromagnetism (World) The control over electromagnetic forces, such as electricity, magnetic forces, etc.
Light Lance (High) A large lance made of bright white energy that spans about 7 feet in length and a foot in diameter at the largest part and goes down to a small point at the end. It hits as hard as a powerful laser that burns the target and makes it where magical entities are unable to heal from it.
Exceptional Skill List:
Exceptional Willpower, Unnatural resistance to magical mind-altering effects, and the mental fortitude to push through anything that is set before him, no matter the odds.
Brody had spent the past week finding out that traveling is not as easy as he remembers it to be. Now having a Noble Arm makes traveling more difficult and annoying, as there is a load of paperwork needed just to set up to travel to a different country. With even a D-rank Noble Arm there is paperwork that can very well take some people of upwards to a week to do. Brody just so happened not to hear about the paperwork needed until he was leaving as he was denied entry and had to spend another week in England to try and do the paperwork as quickly as he could as schooling in Trinidad had already begun.
After a week of filling out paperwork and filing for reimbursement on his original plane ticket. Brody had finally got onto his flight to the Philippines and on his journey to find a purpose. Praying that maybe this would be the hardest part of his time here, as people looked at him like a criminal for just forgetting a bit of paperwork, it was slightly nerve-wracking as people who knew of him being a Noble Arms Master seemed wary of him.
When Brody left to head off to the airport, he left his home to find a police car outside waiting for him. As they wait for him, they explained they will be going and escorting him to the airport where you will be passed off to a NATO contracted Noble Arms Master. As the ride was quiet, neither the two police officers said a thing to Brody as the ride was quiet and somber as neither of the police seemed to have been letting their guard down. In all honesty, the younger driver seemed to have stayed in such high alert. Even slight movements Brody made, had the young officer look back at him through the rearview mirror to try and notice any sign of hostility, always ready for Brody to try anything.
Once they made it to the airport they came up to an interesting looking man. A tall dark tanned man with disheveled black hair and a stubbly beard. He is in a black coat with a thick pair of jeans and has a cigarette bit in between his lips as he just looks off to the car pulling up to him. As once Brody came out the man takes his cigarette and puts it out as the man heads to the back as he pulls out the rest of Brody's luggage. The man swings his arm around Brody's shoulder as he started escorted Brody to the plane. As they began heading over to the plane, they go through security with ease as they just simply walk through lines and security as he shows them his opened wallet, assumedly he has some crazy level clearance ID that allows him to do as he pleases. As once they boarded the plane, the man pulled Brody off to first class, as they both sit down. Feeling strange as they probably took other people's seats. The man looked over and threw a smile at Brody saying, "Hey Kid, my name is Christopher. It's good to meet ya".
The plane ride was a long one, yet the older man started a little corny, as he tried to get Brody to open up to him. As he had given Brody the good treatment of first-class can offer: full meals, any drinks he wants (as long as they are not alcoholic), and anything as he was sitting in the lap of luxury. Christopher acted as like a cool uncle Brody has never met, as he was trying to make sure Brody knew he wasn't here to be a bad guy, and that Brody was not a criminal. As he was shooting the shit with Brody, speaking about his job as a United States Marine Corps Captain. With his many tours as a captain, he had found many things and had traveled to many places. As he handed Brody some of his luggage to look through, as it held many different little artifacts and trophies he had found. As many have different stories and reasons how he had acquired the object.
One of the things that Christopher noticed Brody gravitate to an ornate dagger with a large curved blade. It had a stark white blade that had deep grooves dug into it made to fill with a deep dark black material that is embedded into the blade. As Brody placed his hand onto the ornate silver handle as it felt light and good in the hand. As Christopher noticed his intrigue in the blade Christopher made a plan in his head. "That blade? It was given to me by some villagers in the Middle East. It is the blade of that of a man to become a truly extraordinary".
Later into the flight Christopher started trying to relax Brody for the trip over as it will be a few more hours, and it is important to sleep before you make it to the end of the trip. As Christopher asked for blankets and pillows for himself and Brody. As they both slept the rest of the trip. Once they awoke they found themselves in the Philippines, as they are greeted by a strange sight a larger man in .a red jacket and black pants, with a white mask. Christopher chuckles and greets the man, "You never cease to surprise me. Eh, Johnny boy". They leave with this man and start making their way to the entrance of the airport. There they find a car waiting for them, with a well-dressed man seeming to be their chauffeur. Before they make it to the school, Christopher asked the driver to go to Brody's favorite Fast Food joint. As to have one last good memory with him before they inevitably might never see each other again.
Once they had their fill and a few more fun laughs, they finally made it to Trinidad the school of Hopes and Dreams. As they made it to the entrance to the academy the larger man steps out and lets Brody out of the car. As when Brody was about to leave, Christopher gave a small smile and a wave with a toss of a small business card to him as he said, "See you around kid". As the door closes and the car drives off. On the business card, it is a business card for a PMC group, Lost Heaven. Leaving the small card and a heavyweight in Brody's bag, as it was the knife that Brody found interest in.
Brody's Bad Boy Entrance
Once Brody found himself inside the reception office the man who brought him in had disappeared as he is left to fend for himself, as he walked aimlessly through the halls, he finally found the receptionist there and ready to help him figure out what he is to do as it comes to his apparent realization that he had missed a good bit of school already as he is supposed to find a teacher by the name of Fredrick Jones. As he will be the one to help Brody around the school and find his class. As when Brody leaves the reception office, he finds that he has no clue where to go, maybe this campus is more intuitive than he thinks it is.
He was wrong, as he aimlessly traveled and found many people running around when classes should be in session. As he was traveling he saw people heading to many different places, yet some seem to have this strange air about them. As he watched people talking, some seemed to have met this genuinely handsome man with a strange air of confidence and superiority about him as he talked to people. He seemed to talk and guide them as they entered a large building called the Training Hall.
Brody had no clue where to find Mr. Jones, so he was looking around for some clue, yet as he was searching he found people gathering as they seemed to grab people. They talked to them as a few tried to leave quickly, by scanning their card and entering the Training Hall. Leaving the people who were about to harass them outside and unable to enter, while others were caught. They acted friendly with them and were talking and being chummy as they would normally enter the Training Hall with the people with cards and access. Yet soon after they enter a pained yell can be heard. Leaving Brody some questions, is this what the school is actually like? Brody is unsure yet one thing is for certain staying here might make it where those people might come out to do the same thing to him.
"Well I hope I can give you some good training" Oscar says as he smiles at Nathaniel as he notices light glowing in his hands. Oscar quickly immediately slammed his feet into the ground and tenses every muscle in his legs realizing something was about to be fired at him as Nathaniel speaks out again and seems to be trying something he never has used. Oscar took in what was happening, as Nathaniel was forming energy in his hands, Oscar took a bet as he shifted his body to dive away from where he was and off to the side of Nathaniel and closing the distance.
Once Oscar had tensed his leg muscles to launch himself as fast as he can towards Nathaniel. This was a cultivated speed made from boxing and wrestling, so he is more than fast, this was a speed the superseded his natural sprint speed as it was firing off his well-cultivated muscles for a quick burst of energy very few can even match naturally. With this, he moved fast enough to get away from the area he was originally at. Even if Nathaniel tries to shift his aim, he would find Oscar is too fast for him to shift where his hands are as they fire off their beams of energy at an empty space. As Oscar had moved forward he had now found himself extremely close to Nathaniel.
From this, Oscar realized he needed to use this momentum to his advantage in this fight. As he slid into a low stance while on both of his feet. He shifted his body during this slide to face his body to Nathaniel and swing his blade out towards Nathaniel. This was in hopes to have the blade hit Nathaniel straight in the midsection with his blade. Oscar knew that Nathaniel would have very little time to react, as Nathaniel hadn't sparred enough to know the proper way to dodge, and even if he did, he definitely needed to put it into practice.
In any case, even if this attack hits or misses, Oscar will immediately go back onto the defensive and start bounding away from Nathaniel and back at a safe distance. Still following Oli's instructions of move and strike.
Herman began to play with Emily and scratched her as she purred into him. Emily started to knead a nice place in Herman's lap as she started to nap there as he continued to pet her. As Fredrick himself came over Herman began to listen with great care as Fredrick seemed a little out of it. As Herman lets his smile rest on his face as he looks towards Fredrick to let him know he is there.
Fredrick began talking about his first class. Herman knew of this class for being filled with interesting characters and colorful personalities. Yet Herman never thought any of them being such trouble makers to start 2 fights! In a single class? Absolutely no discipline, especially with someone like Fredrick. As even now, Herman watches on as he sees Fredrick cares deeply, if he didn't he would not be worrying about it to the point of losing sleep.
Herman stops petting Emily and pats Fredrick on the back as he says, "You are a wonderful soul. You worry so much for them. I understand people can be restless. Yet that is as, they say, what comes with teenaged hormones." As Herman continues to rub Fredrick's back, "You are doing well, there was no fight, no? That means you did good!" As Herman lightly throws his hands in the air in celebration, as Sherly shifts with the hand-raising as she raises her wings as well, making it seem like she is also mini celebrating with Herman.
Herman smiles as he continues, "You do a wonderful job with the students. They respect you, and you respect and care for them. That makes you a good teacha', and you should be proud to be such a wonderful teacha'." As Herman gives Fredrick a smile and sets his hand back behind Fredrick and resting on his upper back. Herman continues into his supportive talk of Fredrick, "For without you they would be going to a school filled with them only training and fighting, but you.." as Herman is holding Fredrick's back with his one hand and with his other he taps onto Fredrick's chest as Sherly floats to sit on Fredrick's shoulder and nest there as Herman continues, "You give them something many in this life can never get. Normality."
Herman gestures emptily to the room as if gesturing to the entire school, "Many of these children will never know what Normality is. Truly. Yet you came to this school to give them that. You give them something to make them feel as if their worth is not determined by the power of their Arms. That they are human too and someone is there who is there to help them, and not nurture their Arm alone. But their being and their person. And that is something you can be happy about.
As Herman smiles and slaps Fredrick's chest a little, So there will be ups and downs, but like a father, be patient. Yet never let them go too far. And remember…". As Herman leans in and says one more thing as he holds up his free hand making a symbol for one as it seems to get a little serious as his smile fades away, "Make sure you have fun with them!" As Herman's smile comes back even bigger this time as he slaps Fredricks' chest again. As he laughs slightly as he hugs Fredrick and says, "Please, cheer up! If you smiled more Emily would always come running!" as Herman hopes he helped even a little with Fredrick's worry for the moment.
Oscar watched patiently, watching Nathaniel and his very slight movements. Oscar learned that watching for the fist to tell when a person would punch would give you no time to dodge. So he waited and watched Nathaniel's lips and forearm, waiting for him to say go and watching for the slightest moment a bullet would be fired. For a slight moment Nathaniel would let loose on him, like in his vision.
Once Nathaniel started the match, Oscar noticed the slight twitch in Nathaniel's forearm, meaning he was in the act of closing his fist, the shots were about to be let loose. Oscar took in a quick breath as he jumped back and away in a diagonal direction away from Nathaniel, moving away from the incoming bullet fire. They seemed slower than Oscar had intended to dodge, as they weren't missing by a large margin, but Oscar expected to have to up his timings for the next volley, yet this seems like a comfortable pace.
Oscar had a keen mind in a fight, so much so he even paid attention to the number of rounds Nathaniel has fired off. As Oscar knew from many movies and from a decent understanding of guns, that revolvers have 6 rounds in their chamber, and Nathaniel had fired off 6. Meaning Nathaniel had used half of his shots already, most likely leaving 3 in each revolver, which tells Oscar he can't rush in yet. He will need to reload soon, after all.
Oscar takes a quick wide birth around Nathaniel, staying around 15 feet away as he circles Nathaniel, as it gives him ample room to move, without being out of range of a lunging strike when the time comes. Oscar's face never loses his smile as he says to Nathaniel while running around him in a circle, "So is this your first spar?". All while never truly losing his focus in this fight, as he was very ready to dodge or lunge in when the time comes.
Herman has spent the first half of his day relaxing, meditating, watering his plants, and many other just menial activities to pass his day by until he is needed for his actual services as a teacher. As he finds himself finally needing to get ready to start teaching.
Herman finds himself on a nice large stone in the middle of the courtyard. He is suspended in the air on his polearm. As he is sitting in a very relaxed position with both of his legs crossed and his hands grasping each other in his lap. He is lightly humming as Sherly is on his head. The Owl on his head began to who as she 'sung' in tune with Herman's humming. Slowly Herman's humming rose and burst into song as he was getting extremely excited as he has so much he wished to do with the kids, but he must wait. As he stands from his sitting position, almost like he was made of air as he stands perfectly from his crisscrossed position. He stands and stretches as he takes a kneeling position as he looks off and looks to see as people are running around as they are off to the lunchroom, Herman knew what that meant.
Herman had now found himself in the teacher's lounge whistling music to Sherly as she is eating from his hand. He is feeding her right now as he is holding pieces of meat for her to eat. As he whistles, he notices a wonderful face to see as a wide smile comes from Herman's face, "Fredrick! I am doing well. How is yourself? Oh, Emily! Come 'er to Baba!". Herman sets Sherly into his other hand as she eats as Herman heads over and starts to scratch Emily on the back right at the base of the tail, Herman found this to be one of her weak spots very quickly. Herman gives Fredrick a wonderful smile as he starts to coo as he scratches and lightly plays with Emily.
About me:
I am an amateur writer at best as I have had a bit of experience writing short novels and stories as a side gig (Don't ask me for help unless you are desperate. I barely know what I'm doing half the time!)
I mostly Rp on medieval fantasy, modern fantasy, and modern slice of life. However, I am always willing to do anything. And I have been roleplaying for about 8 years now.
I have a pretty open schedule right now, other than planning DnDs, and looking for a job. (Still praying that one day I can get payed to play DnD or by playing videogames, but I haven't made a dollar yet).
PLEASE IF YOU THINK I FORGOT AN RP MESSAGE ME!!!! I CAN GUARANTEE THAT I FORGOT AS I WAS PROBABLY PRAYING TO THE GODS OF CHAOS THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO WIN THE NEXT GAME OF MAGIC I'M GOING TO PLAY!!! (In all seriousness I'm very forgetful and scatter brained, just send me a message and I should be able to pump out that post in no time)
The partners I am looking for right now is people who are chill and relax as well as just some genuinely nice people to chat to and play with. Any style is fine, just be ready as there are time where it will take some time for advanced posts will take me a few days.
Other than that I like to listen to music and anytime someone asks me to do a thing, 90% of the time I will just do it as I just don't care enough. But I will not sing, my voice is garbage and I am not confident enough to even try to learn now.
