How long has it been?

Ever since the last adventure to other universes, it had been uneventful after Ciri arrived back in her universe. Since then, it was just her, her sword, and the monsters of her world (at least for the most part). Of course she’d visit Geralt, Yennefer, Triss, Dandelion, and everyone else in her world that she had grown close to but for the most part, it was just her. And she didn’t mind it, Witcher’s usually worked alone on contracts.

And yet, she missed fighting side by side with others. With Kassandra and Aloy and Corvo and well… with the others in general.

As she sat down to prepare dinner, the buzzing pain in the back of her neck that she felt a few seconds ago before she sat down grew stronger before she began to lose feeling in each of her body parts. And then?

Everything went dark.

---

Emerald green eyes opened to find herself no longer outside but in a room and with other people too. Once her eyes adjusted after she stood up, she saw the glass that surrounded them, which seeing as how they were trapped, she didn’t like that one bit considering the previous times she was imprisoned. Her attention then turned towards the woman standing on the walkway above them, mentioning a “Mister Luthor” before leaving.

If she had to take a guess, this man she mentioned was the cause behind everyone here being summoned to this place.

Her attention then turned towards the scraping noise, a hand flying up to her sword sheathed on her back to see the source: a man she had never seen before with a bat covered in wire. Her mouth opened to say something to the man’s various comments before it was closed by the woman who knocked him out and then left the room. “Right…”

With all of that out of the way, she looked around at those trapped here only to see three familiar faces: the man in the blue suit and helmet, known as Falcon, Corvo, and that girl that they encountered back on Remnant, Penny if she remembered what they called her correctly. However her attention focused on Corvo, one of the people she trusted the most the last time she found herself outside of her universe. She put her hand down and walked over to him, a slight smile appearing on her face.

“Corvo? You’re here too? Seems like we can’t help but be dragged into these situations.”

It was just supposed to be a simple job, drop Ellie off at the capitol building for the Fireflies, go home. Of course, nothing was ever that simple nowadays.

There was always a risk when taking a smuggling job, her and Joel knew that. A risk that someone could get bitten but she supposed that recently, they had been getting lucky and now? That luck was gone. It was like she told Joel, their luck had to have ran out sooner or later but she didn’t think it’d be sooner.

Hell, she didn’t think this would happen at all, she was always careful.

Now here she was, her 9mm pistol raised at the door with soldiers coming in at any second. This was the only choice she had, becoming a runner was something no one wanted to go through and that was something she had in common with them. As long as it also bought Joel and Ellie some time to get out, she’d go down fighting.

Before the doors opened however, she felt a slight buzzing in the back of her neck, something which Tess brushed off and ignored. Maybe it was just because of the infection which caused the pain, it wouldn’t matter anyways once those doors opened.

And open they did, soldiers coming through as she opened fire at the first soldier she saw.

Bullets flew, a few guards went down but at the end of the shootout? The military won.

So here she was, bullets through her arms, legs, and torso, laying on the floor of the capitol building and as she lost consciousness, the last thing she heard was a buzzing noise. Wherever she ended up, she at least knew that the infected were no longer a problem.

A world without the infected… that’d be paradise to her.

Waking up in a pretty boring looking room, the woman stood up and saw there were others here, a lot of people from the looks of it. However her eyes adjusted a moment later and saw that there was glass surrounding them l a woman dressed like a scientist standing on the railing that was over them. From the way she spoke and the way she was dressed, there was a chance she had a stick up her ass.

Great… she ends up in the afterlife or wherever the hell this place is and not only does she have to meet with this Luthor guy but she also had to deal with a woman who didn’t seem like she could tell a joke.

Immediately her hand flew to her gun and took it out once she heard scraping to see a guy in a leather jacket with a bat covered in barbed wire. It didn’t take long for his comments to strike a chord in her though it wasn’t a good chord. Before she could say anything, that woman knocked him out and proceeded to leave the room before she could thank her, leaving her to put her gun away.

So now what?

Tess’ brown eyes looked around the place, seeing just how odd the people she were with looked like, she doubted she could see a friendly face here if there were people others knew like that white haired woman knowing someone else. But then she heard something and saw someone that changed that pretty quickly, hearing a kid call out to her dad before looking and seeing the source.

And who the source was looking at and walking towards.

From what she said and who she was saying it to, that was… no, Joel said she was dead and yet she herself should’ve been dead. If it wasn’t for the fact that she saw Joel off in a corner in the cage, who was very much alive last she saw him, she’d believe this was the afterlife. She began taking steps towards the familiar man in the corner, going slow.

“…Joel? That really you?”

Starting Location (SANDBOX ONLY):

Metropolis, having just arrived and waking up in Centennial Park.

Personality:

She is a noble and dutiful woman who talks about her hopes and dreams and acts on her own initiative. She is always cordial and polite to those around her, but is also a political strategist who puts her duties and the well-being of her people above her own needs. She focuses on the future and works to prevent the world from plunging into complete darkness. Befitting of her duties as Oracle, Lunafreya possesses unparalleled compassion.
Lunafreya and Noctis have a complicated relationship. They are childhood friends, but are being made to marry to bring their kingdoms together. Lunafreya loves Noctis who doesn't have the confidence to respond, although he thinks highly of her and grows to return her love. She is one of the most important presences that supports Noctis for him to fulfill his destiny. She holds King Regis in the highest regard and doesn't blame him for what happened to Tenebrae, unlike her brother Ravus. She trusts her brother despite him serving the empire.

She is devoted to the Astrals and their will, although in The Dawn of the Future she was not privy to the full scale of Bahamut's plan and rebels against him.

Equipment:

Lunafreya really only has one piece of equipment with her: the Trident of the Oracle which was gifted to the Oracle by Bahamut.

Attributes:

Lunafreya is an Oracle who prevents the plague Starscourge from advancing via her powers and presence. The plague makes daylight vanish from the world, and she prevents the world of Eos from plunging into an eternal night. As the Oracle she has the power to heal those affected by the plagues of darkness thanks to a combination of healing and light powers, and people travel long distances to be seen by her. She works tirelessly to help any who seek her out, and she is highly revered by all across Eos.

Due to the Starscourge not being an issue in this new place, unless one is afflicted with something similar to the Starscourge, she can only heal people. Combat wise, she can utilize her light magic to help her defend herself.

She can commune with the gods of Eos, the Astrals, however due to being cut off from Eos, she is unable to commune with them. The famous trident she wields is said to be a ritual tool bestowed upon the first Oracle by the Astral god Bahamut.

Biography:

Luna made many fond memories with Noct in their childhood, but their days of innocence ended abruptly when the empire overtook her home of Tenebrae. Through adversity, she became the youngest Oracle in history. Adored and respected the world over, she now travels in search of communion with the gods to aid Noctis on his journey.

"Guess what, we're shitty people, Joel. It's been that way for a long time.”

Name:

Tess

Late 30s

Gender:

Female

The Last of Us

Main Thread or Sandbox:

Main Thread

Personality:

Tess was a leader; she led Joel effortlessly and made friends with many of the people that she met. She had a wide range of contacts and was universally respected, and often feared, among the residents of the Boston Zone. Tess, like most survivors, was ruthless, and did not flinch at the thought of killing people, but conversely was kind to Ellie, more so than Joel originally, and did her best to reassure and protect her. Tess also seemed to lack patience; she decided to shoot the man hired by Robert instead of talking to him.

However, after being bitten, Tess became short-tempered, more aggressive and fixated on finding the Fireflies. These changes in behaviour were a side effect of the infection, which heightens anger. She also held a reluctance to turn into an Infected and was frustrated at her impending death. as such, she desired redemption; she believed getting Ellie to the Fireflies would bring a cure to the world, latching on to it almost straight away despite Joel being completely unbelieving. In Tess' mind, this would be forgiveness for the things that she and Joel had done. Her guilt over these things came out when she told Joel that they were "shitty people" and had "been that way for a long time." For Tess, bringing Ellie to the Fireflies would be peace of mind for her, and she made it her last request to Joel.

Tess was also courageous. She accepted Ellie without complaining and faced her death with a humanity rarely seen since the outbreak. She even didn't tell Joel and Ellie that she was bitten, selflessly not wanting them to worry about her until there was no alternative. When coming to the realization that she was on the brink of turning into an Infected, Tess displayed selflessness and love for Joel and Ellie, urging Joel to take her to the Fireflies for a chance at redeeming the broken state of the world. She sacrificed herself for them, a stark contradiction to her previous philosophy of a "dog-eat-dog-world" that she shared with Joel, displaying a trait rarely found in the post-apocalyptic world.

Equipment:

There really isn’t much she has but then again, you gotta have as little as possible on you to be able to move fast in a zombie apocalypse. Aside from healing kits and ammo, she has her 9mm handgun on her.

Attributes:

Tess was a natural leader, being the brains behind Joel's muscle in their partnership. She was also well connected, being respected, and even feared, by many people within the Boston QZ.

Like most hardened survivors, she was skilled in combat, having killed many infected over the years. She was able to kill Runners and Clickers with just a 9mm pistol and her fists and even two armored soldiers in the same manner. She was skilled enough in hand-to-hand combat to be able to kill two men by herself, despite being injured and taken by surprise. She was also quite stealthy, killing a man with a shiv by sneaking up on him. She wasn't invincible, though; a Runner successfully bit her, resulting in her contracting the infection and was later killed by a squad of soldiers, despite managing to kill two of them.

Biography:

A hardened survivor living in one of the last remaining quarantine zones, Tess operates in the black market of a city under martial law. Partners with Joel, they have become known within the criminal underworld for their ruthlessness. Street smart and confident, Tess is a savvy strategist and negotiator. Her ability to generate intelligent plans to secure the contraband for their trade is second to none. Tess and Joel subscribe to the same dog-eat-dog philosophy. They survive by being willing to do what others can’t or won’t. Her trust in and loyalty towards Joel runs deep. However, secretly, she questions whether Joel shares the same emotions that she feels for him.

Other:

She apparently hated sardines (and still does).

Personality:

Ciri has been through a ton of hardships — especially as a teenager — which has gone a long way in defining her character. All these trials and tribulations have shaped her personality in a major way. And this is not any more clearer than in her resilient and strong will, able to pull through any or almost any trial and tribulation. While it wasn't shown a lot in Ultimate, the fact that she pulled through all of that showed that resilient and strong will. This willpower also contributes strongly to an aspect of Ciri's personality that must be addressed — her unrelenting nature. Once Ciri puts her mind to something, she will go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that this notion becomes a reality — regardless of the consequences of her actions.

While being this headstrong might actually work in her favor at times, there are times when Ciri can be slightly arrogant and stubborn. While it's great to do something once you put your mind to it, there are times when this mentality can backfire. For Ciri, this has happened time and time again, able to argue back with Vesemir and Geralt, so one might expect her to be a bit more logical and forward-thinking. However, Ciri has shown a penchant to be arrogant on numerous intervals and not willing to budge on something that she thinks is right. To an extent, this behavior can be admirable, but this stubborn nature can also bring with it its fair share of problems.

One particular character trait of Ciri that is well documented in both the books and the games is her thirst for vengeance. If Ciri feels like she's been wronged in an unforgivable manner, then she will travel the ends of the earth to make sure that justice is served. This vengeful nature is certainly an extension of her headstrong nature, coupled with a strong sense of personal justice to boot.

Ciri's empathy knows no bounds, and while she may fail to act upon it at times — given the fact that she does tend to look out for herself, more often than not — the weight of her actions and the conflict that arises with her thought leads to moments when her conscience can be too much for her to bear at times. However, this clashes with how she is certainly somewhat selfish and tends to place her own needs over that of others, save for her close friends. This is very evident by how she would never have accepted the title of Empress, something given to her by birthright, if she simply wasn't happy with it, choosing instead to become a Witcher with Geralt, a person whom she's always trusted and felt safe around.

The energy of youth is something that can be quite beautiful, and Ciri exhibits this energy on numerous occasions. Her zeal to learn and never giving up is indicative of the fact that she doesn't want to let go of her childhood innocence — one of the few things that is binding her mind and keeping her sane. After all, with the trauma she's gone through, is it any wonder that she doesn't want to become too much of an adult?

And speaking of trauma, it must be said that the despicable acts that Ciri has been exposed to over time have gone a long way in increasing her dependency on the people close to her. In fact, it doesn't need to be a stalwart friend either — in general, Ciri has showcased a trustworthy nature time and time again, choosing to give other people the benefit of the doubt even in a world where humans are sometimes worse filth than the monsters that inhabit it which plays into her empathetic nature.

A fragile emotional state, coupled with traumatic experiences, would generally break any normal person. However, the strength of the bonds that Ciri shares with the people close to her have helped her during such trying times. Thus, it's only fair that she would develop a comfort zone with the people closest to her — like Geralt And Yennefer as well as those in Blood Gulch+, especially Kassandra and Aloy with a few others outside of that group — developing bonds that are bound to stand the test of time.

Emotions can only be bottled up for so long, and people reach their breaking point if these emotions are bursting at the seams. For Ciri, her emotions are diverse and varied, and she never chooses to bottle them up — well, for long, at the very least. And boy, did she reach the breaking point multiple times during her last foray in multiverse travel.

Equipment:

While she has a hunting knife on her right hip, her real weapon comes in the form of a silver sword called ℨ𝔦𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔢𝔩.

Attributes:

Elder Blood
Source

Being born with the Elder Blood gene and being a Source, this granted her with powerful magic, but the extent of it, even she's not aware of. Due to how her powers go haywire when in an emotional state, new powers can sometimes manifest.

Outside of battle this grants her two powers:

• Travel to different universes and worlds (disabled for this RP)
• Piercing Scream

Note: universe and world travel is only used as a last resort and Piercing Scream is only used when either extremely angry or experiences something traumatic, the following video is shown what happens if it's triggered by trauma

Example of Piercing Scream
In combat however, she comes with three powers:

Blink

Blink lets her use time to essentially teleport a short range on the battlefield.

Charge

Charge is a special attack that let her strike at multiple opponents or from multiple direction, if focused on one opponent, with Blink

Rage

Rage is a state she can go in where she has complete control with her powers and attack power amplified, Blink's distance also being extended in the process during this state. In this state, she is surrounded by green energy.

Rage example
Really, the first two minutes are what is needed to demonstrate this

Biography:

“Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon – what can I possibly say about her? That we call her Ciri for short, that she was born in 1251, that she has ashen hair and a scar on her cheek?
All true, and that's the Cirilla I know best, the one I first laid eyes on those many years ago, the one who seemed thoroughly, well, not ordinary, but certainly not as extraordinary as she in fact is.

For Cirilla is also a highly-skilled witcher, heiress to several thrones, the last bearer of the Elder Blood, a powerful Source endowed with exceptional magic talent and the Lady of Time and Space. Her hair color and date of birth seem... rather incidental now, don't they?

I could also tell you she is Geralt's adopted daughter – but that would be a gross simplification. Ciri is much more. She is his Destiny, his Unexpected Child, someone bound to the witcher by Fate's most inextricably tangled fetters.”

- sometimes, she'll refer to the Blood Gulch+ gang and the few others outside of them she's comfortable with like if they were family, even calling Kassandra and Aloy her battlesisters and Price, Corvo, and Gretar battlebrothers or just brothers. This shows how trusting she is of them.

- despite her not looking like it, Ciri has royal blood in her, with four being her birthright and four currently being taken by her double, False Ciri. She has no intentions of claiming any of these thrones.
