Erina raised her hand and glared at her hand as she tensed it closed and then looked toward the sky. She had to face her judgement sometime and she felt this was really her moment. She had some times that fire girl who she always spoke and trained but now is not the time to be thinking about them right this second. She was brought back to present by a flicker of wind against her face and at that moment, she would decide to fight to right all wrongs that she had done in the past, they were all a distant memory and she had to accept that and just move on. Even if she did learn to turn off her emotions.
She stepped forward after hearing the order to take a step. She rested her hand on her gunsword at her side and just breathed in slowly as she steadied her heartbeat.
"I choose to fight to right all the wrongs I did. If you would have me, I'd be honoured to serve."
She was the most skilled of the Aema, she had pushed past their limits, she had lost her former powers though but still had a skill unmatched by other Aema. Her name was Erina Palmer, a name lost to the ages and forgotten by some tongues. She had done enough chaos with her inherent power. The curse of bad luck, yes, that was the most draining of all her abilities. She had to toughen up and not anyone die this time around...
Appearance: Timeskip: While retaining many parts of her original look, this time Erina is seemingly sporting some more powerful sets of gear. She retains the light-pink-ish hair and her normal physical look, but this time she's wearing some sort of revealing black armor and leather around her body, with a fancy neck cloth to go along with it. She also has what appears to be a weapon on her right arm, possibly being her sword and this is way after the Resort Incident.
Powers/Skills: Master Arc Proficiency: Being trained by a deity grants many benefits, one of them being that Erina is able to control and use the Master Arc, a gun sword which she uses surprisingly well. Like many hybrid weapon types, the gun sword is the one she excels in, being able to infuse her bullets with fire and be quick enough to use the momentum to land really heavy blows. Along with this she shows great speed and skill with it, being able to efficiently hit certain areas of opponents to cripple them, making this a deadly combination of her and her weapon.
Supernatural Reflexes: Erina has a unnaturally strong sense of reflexes due to her intensive training. With these sorts of relfexes Erina has shown that she can avoid bullets and most attacks at super and hypersonic speeds. Naomi and her and her military training taught her well since she is more focused on quick speed and skill to defeat her enemies.
Weakness(es): Erina's Curse: One huge downside to being the way she is, with her mental state, Erina causes immensely bad luck for those around her, at least those who can be affected by it including monks and everyone she is around. While it may not cause huge mass death or any bad luck like that, Erina's luck does affect people in battle and in general populace.
Personality:
Erina is fairly quiet lady, seemingly jaded at times, but she simply likes to listen more than speak, allowing whoever needs an ear to have it in the full. She can handle social situations just as well as Naomi can, even if it calls for a presentation. It's just she prefers to let Naomi do the talking, whilst she comments as she sees fit; most of the time, she needs to only clarify what her partner means. She seems somewhat sweet and kind, and considerate. A maternal aura graces her actions, especially when she's around younger asylums. But she chooses her words well, even if she must speak her mind bluntly, especially to scold rascals several years her junior. In any case, she is quick to apologize and assure a person that she means well. So, on one hand, one might consider her humble, but some asylums see her as a snob sitting on a very high horse.
She could be both.
For underneath her mask is a mischievous, destructive spirit of her former self trying to revive itself from her distant youth. It peeks through the corner of her eyes, showing up every now and then as she resists it. Sometimes its presence grates an undeniable edge into her tone, reminiscent of a soothing, melodic drawl of a madman. However, when pushed into a corner or just heavily stressed (and if she cannot flee or shelter herself), Erina breaks down. Very quickly, very deeply. For every vice she's ever savored as a teen is brought to the surface, twisting her into a nightmarish banshee that blows the entire situation she's in way out of proportion. Ruthless, crass, and perverse, she forsakes all niceties and retaliates on whim with a huge amount of disproportionate retribution. Surprisingly, this mood of her has never actually got in the way of the mission, and so, ORPA recognises Erina to be Naomi's responsibility outside of getting the job done. On that note, only Naomi seems capable of calming her down, taking her aside and encouraging her, reminding her of their pact. But that doesn't always work, and she's had to put Erina down using her Ice Ability.
She's getting worse, too. And Erina knows it.
History:
Erina was a warchild at the age of 4, she had been born to unamed parents, namely because the military didn't want her to know about her parentage. While the military were testing her they found her to be extraordinarily good at carrying out her directives with no questioning or doubt in her mind about them, something they were looking for in their troops but hadn't had a lot of luck with previously.
Erina was the best kind of soldier they had, she had been sent on covert ops, sabotage missions, she had successfully completed her objectives. She even manged to work up in rank, becoming the only female Captain in the entire Aema military, outranking members who had been there for decades. While their intentions seemed decent at first, they started to take advantage of her being able to not question their authority.Erina had been sent on a mission to Meplisa to assassinate a leader of that planet, nonetheless she completed the mission but right after it, the Aema military stepped in and took control of the planet.
Erina just shrugged it off as a strategic standpoint. She went back to the headquarters and it seemed like everyone had froze in place, as Erina sensed a powerful being somewhere... she just had to find it. She spent weeks, months even, following what would be very unethical questionable orders from her superiors as she couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her. The next mission she was sent to do was to have a "Tactical assassination" wherein to draw out the leader of one nation, she had to slaughter his family, which she did, seeing it as another tactical plan, not knowing of the atrocity she had placed against him.
When he came out he was publicly shamed and unbeknownst to her, was brutally beaten and tortured, the Aema military again took control of the place. Erina had been lined up with other soliders of the Aema military and in front of them were children, babies. all innocent people and she stood there wide eyed as she knew what was going to happen.... this wasn't a normal procedure for the Aema, this was an execution. In the heat of the moment, she was being screamed at to fire, and through the confusion, bullets were let loose from her gun, innocent blood spilled from them as she looked on in horror, before she could do anything, in the confusion, the powerful being she had sought, had come down, picking her up and bringing her out of the smoke, flashes and gunfire.
When bringing her out Erina herself was in a daze of having a thousand yard stare, forcing Naomi to try and snap her out of it, ending up having to use force. After Erina had supposedly snapped out of it, Naomi revealed who she was and said that she had been observing Erina for a while, and found the potential for her to become a student of hers, to pass on powers in case of something possibly happening, for security. She wanted to make Erina into her own personal Guardian, persay, and while Erina was very hesitant, she accepted after being told that she would never have to follow orders like what she was given before, any longer. After dealing with some very heavy immediate PTSD Erina believed that she was mentally ready to be trained. Due to her training her aging was heavily slowed in the process, allowing for a very long cycle of training.
After a while, Erina became an very capable fighter, and also was able to have a near infinite source of magical power. However, due to her mental state still being iffy, Naomi restricted her usage of it only to fire magic in case something ever went awry. Upon many uncountable years of training, Naomi was finally able to one hundred percent trust Erina as her own personal Cosmic Guardian, meant to guard her and protect her while she creates her own personal peaceful association. To this day Erina still protects her, taking down those who would dare tranish their peaceful reputation without ever putting Naomi in real harms way
[ Genre: Fantasy, Magic, medieval/Modern esque , maybe romance A secret order of immortal beings. A safe haven away from the subjugation or enslavement of their I'll. Vampires, golems, automatons with free will. Any being that can not die with old age are called monsters. Hunted, killed, captured, and forced to serve beings who by all accounts should be weaker, yet they fight and they win. So the Sanctum was formed. A place to train, a base to stage a war from, and a home for those without. Now, whom will enter and fight for their life? ]
That cosmic resort that was the station for all things that were powerful and skilled, that's the place Erina came from and she had to leave unfortunately. She had been banished yet again and now to train even more before she even hoped to come back to the resort. She was skillful already and the reason why he was kicking her out of the resort had made her a little angry at him. She knew better to display her emotion though and thus had to go willingly and not kick up a fuss in front of him otherwise that would be a fatal mistake.
God dammit Aylex, next time I'll get your place as warden of the resort."
She though to her self and then just strapped her sword to her hip and then shook her head thus accepting the whole situation for what it is. Even though Naomi would probably convince Alex to bring her back.
The Palmer took a step toward the portal and looked behind to all of the people she had knew and that was the hardest thing to do right now and having to look at Riya's face on the matter was extremely painful, she had been her student.
After stepping through the portal Erina found herself in a Maze and that was a very mysterious place to be teleported at. This was very wrong, had his portal malfunctioned. She looked around for any sign of life that had probably teleported to. By Erina's logic no place was ever emptied and thus had some civilisation...
Skill Of The Assasin: Moving silently through the shadows, even broad daylight, Riya is able to find a target of her choosing and quickly, along with efficiently, and take them down without anyone noticing. Not being the straight forward brute force user, Riya prefers to use her complexity and high finesse proficiency in stealth to appear, and then disappear just as quickly. She often checks her target as well to make sure that they are criminalized, making sure that she the swiftly kills them by usually stabbing a vital area.
Expert Assassin Accuracy: Due to her skills as an assassin being so good at assassination work, Riya has been shown to have a very scary degree of accuracy. She's been known to use ranged weapons with scary efficiency. She can take any sort of arrow, dagger, dart and throw it incredible distances to hit a target. Most of the time, whenever she's bored, she'll usually just fire an arrow or one of her knives off the direction of the target, killing whoever it is without so much of a struggle. Along with that her weapons don't have any signs of usage so if the bodies are found, they can't identify who took the person down.
Fears/Weaknesses: She fears strength users thus has a weakness when fighting against them.
Personality: Riya's personality can be described as "on fire." This means that she's always fired up and is always looking for a challenge. Due to the gaining of power that she has over time, Riya has become more confident in herself, and had decided to focus on the battle at hand rather than just winning or losing. She's strong headed, good willed and level-headed.
