Tsukuyomi Gakuen Discussion Thread

[Chaos Greyblood]

So if I may say my opinion:

* Ariel is basically a Jack of all Stats in attributes. Bear in mind the trope used to be called The Mario. All the stats are balanced and there is nary a weakness to be found, though the one tradeoff is that there isn't anything that's totally outstanding. However, it is truly a solid character to have.
* Ariel could probably teach Shirou a thing or two when it comes to forging.
* While having a high-octane offense is pretty good, it is rather taxing as mentioned. Thus, Ariel could probably be able to fight in battles that don't last longer than she wants to. If someone endures everything in some way and the battle drags on too long, this could spell trouble for Ariel, especially if they managed to save something in the tank.
* Pure form.... Meep!
* Yep, I can see how Vincent was smashed in that fight. XDDDD

[Xaldin]

* Yep, I can see how Vincent was smashed in that fight. XDDDD

That was a fight? Looked more like Vinny just got his ass kicked.

But damn, Ariel be scary. Wait, she already was scary...

[Blackdeath6031]

...Should I show mine?

...Hm...

Nah, not yet. Since I'm reusing some of them. :3

[Revy]

Seeing how as a number of questions were left unanswered, over the course of the next day or so I'll summarize information on select topics.

Tsukuyomi and Conceptual Phantasms
Tsukuyomi is actually the name of the original Conceptual Phantasm hidden deep beneath Tsukuyomi Gakuen. Tsukuyomi itself is actually the Reality Marble of the late Professor which was "extracted" from his being and transformed into a self-sustaining form through a combination of advanced technology and magecraft. While the Professor was allowed to live for some time after this extraction due to modifying his body, it is this event which would ultimately lead to his death.

Unlike subsequent Conceptual Phantasms, Tsukuyomi itself does not embody a concept (due to the nature of its creation). However, what it is capable of is expanding the power of the Professor's Reality Marble, "the power to obtain dreams", to all whom step within its field. The extent of this power varies from person to person; however, it does explain the number of oddities encompassing the island and its denizens.

The Conceptual Phantasms created for Military Students are in fact pure concepts pulled from Tsukuyomi's world and placed into forms which are familiar to their chosen wielders (For example, Kikuryuusai takes on the form of a katana in Seiichi's hands, but in Shouichi's possession it was a wand). These items themselves can be powerful weapons which execute absolute commands of the world at the whim of the wielder; however, their true function is to awaken the true potentials of special individuals.

Furthermore, certain Conceptual Phantasms embody concepts which have more than one interpretation. These Conceptual Phantasms are called Multi-Liners and are exponentially more powerful than others. As an example, Kikuryuusai is a Conceptual Phantasm which which embodies the concept Cut. Due to Seiichi's interpretation of the word "cut", Kikuryuusai takes on the form of a sword: a tool familiar to him which is used to cut things. However, the concept can also be interpreted in a manner such as "to cut oneself off from", a realization Shouichi made shortly before his death which allowed him to surpass his worldly limitations by "cutting the boundary between man and god".

At a level even higher than Multi-Liners are Line Breakers; Conceptual Phantasms which develop to a point where they seemingly exceed mere comprehension of a concept. To this day, there only exist three of these: Kusanagi, Ariel, and Kikuryuusai, all of which have developed to a state of "living". As an interesting note, all of them are female, drawing theories to being embodiments of The False Earth (Tsukuyomi).

It is also believed that Conceptual Phantasms are linked to one's Origin in some way. With Seiichi's Origin being Separation and Kikuryuusai's concept being Cut, one can see similarities and differences. This link between man and concept is called by Ariel one's Nature. She further explains that if one considers an Origin as an impulse, then one's Nature would be a recurring theme.

....Now I wish I had put Ryuuga as a military student :V
And that I had listed my origins.

Anyway, have a teach sheet.

First Name: Kyouka 『鏡花』
Last Name: Suigetsu 『水月』
Other names: ​"Jester" - Mercenary Nickname, 'Aho Oni' - Ryuuga, 'Sensei' - Alex
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Height: 190cm
Weight: 42kg
Eye Color: Rainbow
Hair Color: Black
PC Type: Faculty Member (Psychology Teacher)

Background: The oldest of the three Suigetsu brothers and the effective heir of the Suigetsu clan. That said, he has no intentions to improve it's status. Instead, he encourages living freely. He is currently the holder of the grimoire which contains the Suigetsu crest, and the only living member to have the crest embedded in him.
Through various events, he became acquainted with Alex's older brother, and learned many different things from him, including a multitude of unarmed combat styles. In addition, he also obtained Yuri from Alex due to Yuri's peculiar infatuation with him.
He had once worked as a stage magician, but had left since the strange incident involving Tenchi and the aforementioned grimoire. He now acts as a mentor and partner of Alex and a mercenary-for-hire; which has come to the island to investigate the nameless island.



It should be noted that while he had chosen to be a psychology teacher, he in fact knows nothing about it.

Personality: Very friendly, childish and goofy, Kyouka is perhaps someone you wouldn't expect to be an adult. That said, he has his own share of secrets, as well as his own personal experiences which he would hate to revisit.

Hobbies: Boxing, Exercising, Magic tricks and Illusions

Clubs: Anime and Video Game club

Parameters:

• Strength: 18
• Constitution: 18
• Stamina: 15
• Agility: 15
• Dexterity: 10
• Intelligence: 13
• Wisdom: 18
• Charisma: 10
• Comeliness: 18
• Total: 135

Class Perks:

• Forged in Flames- Increases all battle parameters by 2 when engaging a stronger enemy. [Costs 10 Points]

Extras:

• [Major] Suigetsu Family Crest

Embedded into his eyes, the crest works as though it is a mix between a normal family crest and mystic eyes. However, unlike mystic eyes they are activated like a crest and contain a multitude of spells and effects instead of just one. True to the goal of the Suigetsu to 'blur the lines between Reality, Illusion and Phantasy', the crest contains countless potent suggestion and illusion spells that can affect all five senses as well as any other sensory features one may have. The crest also allows for multiple casting, allowing these spells to complement each other in many different combinations, thus convincing the opponent that the illusions are in fact real.

• [Minor] Unarmed Combat Mastery

As a result of many years training, Kyouka has mastered many different styles of unarmed combat, allowing him to not only use these styles interchangeably, but also to read ahead and predict how other unarmed combatants will fight.

• [Major] Ittekken Isenhyakuken Ryuu

Kyouka's own personal, unique fighting style that combines the family crest's properties with his mastery of close ranged, unarmed combat. Literally meaning 'One Iron Fist, One thousand one hundred fists style', it is a style that focuses on the lack of form, promoting adaptability as well as making it near impossible to predict.

• [Major] Familiar - Yuri

Whilst not initially his familiar but instead Alex's, the Siren familiar Yuri pressured Alex to shift the contract to Kyouka's ownership.

Flaws:

• Brotherly love - Hates how much his siblings fight, Kyouka always places breaking up their fights as a priority regardless of the situation, and using any means possible. This usually means he could cause more harm to Tenchi and Ryuuga than he planned to prevent, and become very unhelpful when he is actually needed.
• Master - As he has reached the peak of his potential, he is no longer capable of obtaining any other extras unless through some very exceptional means
• Eccentric - Has a different way of thinking, which causes him to act inappropriately. Leads many to expect very little from him, despite being the strongest of the brothers.
• Unarmed Combatant - Kyouka refuses to use anything that would force him out of his style, accepting only gloves and knuckles as his weapons.
• Big Eater - Has a habit of eating a lot, due to his previous extensive energy consuming lifestyle. Perhaps comparable to Touma's appetite.
• Fool - Knows nothing about psychology. Has some problems teaching content he knows nothing about and instead having the students do as they want, leading to complications with both staff and students.
• Bad Matchup - As a result of his specialisation, he finds it hard to deal with non-human opponents. Rather than a system penalty, his extras simply do very little to them due to their respective properties.

[Brynhilde]

Chances are, I won't be using my character concepts in the near future. So there we go.




Yano Aki / Miyashita Kyosuke
Nicknames: Hellish Prophet, The Iron Priest
Age: 17
Gender: female
Height: 163cm
Weight: 52kg
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Body type: slim, trying to get athletic
Sizes: 68/54/66
Occupation: Honour student
Nationality: half Japanese, half Chinese
Classes: English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Gym
Club: Book club

Strength: 8
Constitution: 10
Stamina: 12
Agility: 13
Dexterity: 14
Intelligence: 16
Wisdom: 16
Charisma: 7
Comeliness: 9

A rather cold and introverted person. She would be the person sitting in the back corner of the class gazing cautiously at every new comer. She can make friendly and diplomatic conversation, but only when necessary. Her personality is practical and prudent, always making moves that would impose the least risk to her or to those she’s interested in. She doesn’t talk much and doesn’t have many friends in the class, although she is very loyal and passionate to the few friends she has.

The daughter of a Japanese magus family and a Chinese magus family, Aki carries the Magic Crest of both her parents due to a twist of fate when she was young. This resulted in her exceptional abilities as a magus, but also her closed-off personality. Her parents have now split and Aki’s guardian is her mother, to whom she is unusually attached to. Disgusted by the behaviour of her magi family, Aki only wants to have a normal life. Aki doesn’t like cats at all. She had also been sickly as a small child and is still physically weak, which is also why she’s trying to get athletic now.

Aki herself is a Wind/Fire aligned magus and frequently uses those two elements (combined to form heat) during her spells.

As the story progressed, it was shown that Aki has a male identity, that of Miyashita Kyosuke. More are to be seen on that matter.

Extras: Major
Family Crest #1

• “Mirror”. The ability obtained from her mother’s Crest. An assortment of spells targeting at reflection and distortion, and manipulation of the human life force and body.

Family Crest #2

• “Word”. The ability obtained from her father’s Crest. Similar to a rapid incantation, it allows her to cast a spell by chanting only one or two words. It, however, requires a high understanding of the language, high enough to make the meaning of a word into a spell

Extras: Minor
Anatomical expert – Aki is well versed in terms of human anatomy. When forced to fight physically, she would be able to dislocate joints and disable opponents. If given a knife, she can cut major arteries and organs with precision.
Heat – The Miyashita family Crest, etched from her right hand to the left hand and across her shoulders, allows her to have a layer of heat covering her arms when necessary. Her prana vibrates the air molecules to create incredible heat that’s hot enough to melt iron, while she maintain a current of cold air closer to her skin to avoid burning herself. When forced to fight physically, Aki can use this to slice through weapons or the human body (or rather, melt them as her hand is going through).

Flaw
Lack of Focus: Despite her outstanding magecraft talent and abilities, she has always had a problem focusing. Her incantations are, therefore, about 20% slower than that of an average magus. This makes her rapid incantations slower than they would be.
Prone to illness: Aki is sickly by nature and can easily fall ill. If there’s a cold going around, chances are she’ll be the first to catch it.
Low regeneration capacity: Also due to her sickly nature, Aki takes twice the time to recover from a physical injury compared to other magi. If a healing spell is cast on Aki, it would require twice the usual amount of prana to work on her.

Mystic Codes
Necklace of Mirrors (夜野の星たち – Yano no Hoshitachi/Stars of the Night Field)

• A chain of 12 small mirrors. The mirrors are made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, electrum, steel, platinum, aluminium, mercury, obsidian, blood, and air. Aki had inscribed words behind each mirror. The words are ‘stupefy’,’ clairvoyance’, ‘recognition’, ‘corrosion’, ‘protection’, ‘strengthen’, ‘distraction’, ‘reflection’, ‘extraction’, ‘possession’, ‘consumption’, ‘concealment’ respective to the mirrors. When a mirror is shone upon a target, it exerts the effect of the word inscribed in the back, independent of her prana input. This is because the chain that connected them incorporated three of Aki’s own Magic Circuits which had been forcibly drawn out of her. The mirrors are also more powerful than her regular spells as each mirror can create an aerial effect with a radius of about 50 meters when used with full prana output. Aki also carries an assortment of smaller enchanted mirrors with her on a daily basis to carry out similar purposes on a small scale.

Block of iron (鉄琉璃 – Iron Glazing Glass) - Using heat, Aki can melt it and use the flowing molten metal for any kind of physical attacks. Think of Keyneth’s mercury Mystic Code in Fate/zero, only this is a fire version.

Her father’s family’s (the Yano clan) specialty is mind control, using words. Their spells affect the mental realm the most but can also modify the physical word, though to a limited extinct (you can’t point at a wooden block and say ‘sushi’ and expect it to turn into sushi). Their creed was ‘never attempt to modify a living body’. They were assassins, scientists, and scholars, and do not like direct confrontation. The spells they have are aimed at obtaining victory as soon as possible and utilising environmental advantages. They do not have a complete set of spells, per se. Their spells depended on how good the practitioner’s linguistic skill is. Aki is considered to be quite competent and can alter elements (such as darkening a room by saying ‘Darkness’) and alter the physical reality (such as stopping herself from falling by saying ‘Stop’). Aki, despite her young age, had already carried out her first job, but shunned the title.

Her mother’s family (known as Miyashita to the Japanese magi community), despite being skilled with mirrors, do not specialise in protection, but in reflection and distortion. Their spells affect the physical realm best, as their reflections can disrupt the ‘qi’ of living things and mana in the non-living and distort them. The previous Heads of the family had used this skill upon humans with relish and had been hunted by the Association. In other words, it is a house that can be considered as heretics. They are masters of casting Magic Circles, finding out prana traces, laying out territories, and setting traps on a daily basis. Basic skills that Aki had learnt from this clan are as follows:
-Healing
-Recognition (as in, recognising a certain prana to belong to someone in particular)
-Clairvoyance (distance-wise)
-Protective circles and barriers
-Concealing people or places to make them impossible to be noticed by normal humans and average magi
-Setting magecraft traps
-Strengthening

Advanced spells Aki has from this clan:
-Distortion: use a concave/convex mirror to distort physical objects
-Consumption: absorb a living being or an object into a mirror to replenish Aki’s own prana
-Reflection: rebound attacks back to the enemy caster, or rebound it to another enemy
-Possession: gain control of the ‘qi’ or mana of creatures/objects and thus control their movement. This can be done on humans, but requires Aki’s maximum prana output.
-Re-modelling: change the ‘qi’ or mana flowing within creatures/objects/areas into a more favourable flow. This can be done on humans, but requires a long time (approx. 2 hours). When done on a magus, it can fry their Magic Circuits the next time he/she uses magecraft since his/her ‘qi’ flow is no longer the same as before.
-Territory creation: Aki creates a ‘Mirror Maze’, riddled with her traps which are infused with her advanced spells. Humans who enter this can rarely make it out alive and with their sanity intact. It requires a long time to prepare (approx. 6 hours) and can be broken by a magus with high mental resistance.

Her parents’ marriage had been carried out in secret and with the sole aim of providing a good heir for either of the two houses. Being two houses that hid in the darker parts of the world of magi, each house announced the birth of a grandchild separately to avoid being associated together. The Miyashita house even announced the birth of presumably a boy, ‘Kyosuke’. Aki uses her two identities interchangeably nowadays to avoid the pursuit of her paternal aunt, who is trying to take the Yano Crest for herself.

The Yanos hold the title of ‘The Hellish Prophet’ amongst magi-assassins, and the Miyashitas hold the title of ‘The Iron Priest’. Aki had inherited both titles.

Vladimir Kalachev
Nicknames: The Usurper, Vlad – used by close friends
Age: 18
Gender: male
Height: 172cm
Weight: 67kg
Eyes: Blue-purple
Hair: Blonde
Body type: Athletic and muscular
Occupation: Military student
Nationality: Russian
Classes: Military Arts, Psychology, European History, English, Physics, Chemistry
Club: Archery club

Strength: 14
Constitution: 16
Stamina: 12
Agility: 12
Dexterity: 10
Intelligence: 9
Wisdom: 6
Charisma: 6
Comeliness: 10

A self-possessed young male who sometimes holds himself almost regally and swaggers around in nothing less than pure arrogance. However, beneath this facade, his friends knew that in truth he swears like any other rude rascal on the street. He is in fact a passionate guy, and the arrogant front was only put up due to his nervousness when interacting with other people. Nonetheless, he’s extremely respectable towards his elders and teachers, and can be polite in formal occasions.

Vladimir is the only son and heir of the Kalachev family, a clan based in Russia’s far eastern territories, close to the Russian-China border. Though considered magi by their own rights, the Kalachev family are more interested in their children’s fighting abilities. When he received the invitation by Tsukuyomi, he instantly wished to come in order to further his military studies, and also to help out an old family acquaintance due to some rumours he had been hearing.

Vladimir is a Spirit/Ether aligned magus. The Kalachev family are unique in the fact that they have Circuits and pass down a Crest, but they do NOT store prana in their Circuits. In fact, to another magus, Vladimir would only feel like a normal human. That is because the Kalachevs use the prana of OTHER creatures (or the mana of the environment) when they are casting. They have the conduits for power (ie. Circuits), but they do not store any energy in there when not active. That is the reason why they are more interested in the physical abilities of their children.

Weapon:
The Twin Fangs: Yeterina and Anastasia –
Two sabers named after the 2 most famous royal females in Russian history – that of Catherine the Great and the fabled Anastasia – these two swords serve as two of the best anti-magi weapons the Kalachev family possesses. Yeterina serves as a prana storage that can leech off foreign prana and store it within the blade, and Vlad can utilise the prana within Yeterina to reinforce his body or his weapons. Anastasia, on the other hand, can make prana-containing substances explode by causing the prana to clash with itself –a magus’s physical body included. Anastasia cannot be used to counter spells, as they have no physical medium. When used against those who are not magi, these weapons serve simply as swords. Vlad may, however, still use whatever prana is left in Yeterina to reinforce himself in a physical fight.

Extras: Major talents
1. Prana Amplification – Because of their rare alignment, the Kalachevs can amplify the prana/mana they draw from others (amplify prana amount drawn x2 times) to counter the fact that they normally have little to no prana that can be used.

2. Mystic Eyes of Usurpation – Passed down the Kalachev family together with the rare alignment. Eye contact would allow Vladimir to draw off the mana/prana of the object. However, it doesn't mean he HAS to draw off prana from whomever he sees, and he can shut it off in daily life. When in use, his eyes turn from purple-blue to purple.

Flaw
1. Slow activation – Vladimir takes quite long to drain prana from other people (approx. 2min to drain enough, even with his Prana Amplification.) This makes him particularly vulnerable during melee battle.
2. No ranged attacks.
3. Very vulnerable to mental interference such as mind-hacking and mind-control.
4. Passionate and sometimes hot-headed personality makes him less likely to make clear judgements in battle.

Mystic Code
The Eye of the Psychic Vampire – A single, right-hand glove, with a sinister eye painted on it. Its activation forms a sort of ‘prana blackhole’ around him to continuously suck in mana/prana (like a whirlpool that sucks in things from further and further away). Areas that this Mystic Code had been activated are perceived to other magi as an oddly mana-free area.

The Kalachevs are long time acquaintances with the magi-assassin families in North-Eastern Asia. They act as a sort of middle-man for all such families in that area. Vladimir was sent away to the Miyashitas (Aki’s mother’s family) across the Chinese border to live for a few years because of feuds between these assassin families during that time. Being the centre of these families in that part of the world, the Kalachevs know of the marriage and later fall-out between Aki’s parents, but had kept that secret to themselves.

The Kalachevs hold the title of ‘The Usurper’ amongst magi-assassins. Vladimir had inherited that title.

[HitokiriNanaya]

I hide nothing!

All my characters extra and stuff are in plain view :3

[Chaos Greyblood]

So then, Aki's a bit of a Glass Cannon if she really puts her mind into causing some damage and controlling her opponents and Vlad is close to being a Lightning Bruiser as a Military Student. Interesting.

[Xaldin]

I'd put up mine but...I'm lazy, and I doubt anyone really cares to begin with. XD

[Blackdeath6031]

/me actually cared =o


Also, awesome profiles, Bryn.

*takes notes for new ideas*

[Brynhilde]

Alright, I've been stewing over my aforementioned fanfic idea for a little while now, and the main background is complete. Therefore, allow me to blatantly advertise my own work present to you:

Kingdom of Wolves - A Nasuverse Original Fiction

Do you, innocent child, presume that you know about the organisation of magi in this world?

Do you think that, by knowing the factions of the Clock Tower, Atlas, and the Sea of Estray, you have known the majority of the arcane forces that dabble in the fate of mankind?

You would be wrong then, child. For there are others out there. Others who have hid themselves completely away from the light, gatherings that only breathe in the deepest night and yet have survived beside us for millennia.

And the Wolves of the North, with their Nine Thrones, is one such entity.

In that entity, there are men who wield powers that should only belong to demons.

- The Chronicles of Magi in Northeast Asia
Various authors

This is the universe and background that I have created for Yano Aki and Vladmir Kalachev for the RP Tsukuyomi Gakuen, an organisation of magi that exists outside of the three main bodies of magi. Lurking in their icy northern territory, which stretchs from Hokkaido to the Caspian Sea and from Beijing to the reaches of the Arctic, these magi are outcasts, infidels - and heretics.

They are magi who are born with dark and forbidden arts in their blood. They are magi who are only one step away from being demons themselves. They call themselves the Wolves of the North, because banding together was the only way that they could survive. No one remembers when the history of the Wolves began, but rumours have it that they have existed in the ice storms of northeastern Asia for at least a thousand years. Over the ages, exiles from other magi organisations have fled to the Wolves and migrated over to their wintry realm, gradually expanding their numbers. That being said, the amount of magi families there remains relatively small. If the Church or the Clock Tower ever truly wish to wipe out the Wolves, it should be accomplished with relative ease.

You may then ask: why have the Wolves been allowed to survive for so long? The answer is simple - they have come to an agreement with other magi and the Church a long time ago.

The Wolves are magi assassins. It is for this usefulness alone that they have been spared in the distant past. All who join the Wolves must vow to never research deep into the forbidden arts, such as immortality or resurrection, for fear of losing the protection that the Wolves offered. One must channel his or her dark craft to the skill of assassination, and not to any other practices that might bring the Executors or a Sealing Designation come hurtling towards the North. To do otherwise would mean an instant expulsion from the Wolves, if not downright execution. Holding on to this decree, the Wolves had lived on, unperturbed by magi or clergymen. Ruled by the Nine Thrones, which are the nine most powerful families in the Wolves at any one given time, they had lived on.

But peace does not last forever.

On the first day of December, 2011, their peace shall be broken. Visitors shall arrive, bearing news that speaks of tempation. A young woman shall return home, claiming not one Throne but two. And the young master of the Kalachevs, the 'Usurper' which had ruled the Wolves for centuries, shall finally take his Throne amidst rancid rumours concerning his dubious love interest. As the Nine Thrones gather in the Kalachev Estate on the outskirt of Vladivostok to discuss these matters, what conclusions will they reach? How shall they dictate the future directions of their clan? What would they do to keep their precious positions on the Thrones?

And lastly, let us not forget that all magi crave power, even more so than the ordinary man...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have already obtained consent to incorporate Keisuke Aihara and Terry Keels into this story. If you're unlikely to re-use your character(s), and wouldn't mind letting me use him/her in this story, please let me know ^^

Hopefully that intro wasn't too pompous...

[Blackdeath6031]

Whoa....
I...I've already started to speculate for this fanfic... :x

I'll refrain from saying any more, lest my words produce unintended implications >_<



I'll probably reuse the general concepts and stuff for my OCs, and I dunno how they'd fit into your story; but if you want to use the Suigetsus' or Alex, please do so! ^^


...Err...I might as well jump the gun and ask now, but would it be likely for you to give me consent to use the Wolves of the North in future RPs?

[Brynhilde]

That's fine. Chances are I will be modifying Keisuke and Terry a little bit, and I won't be copying too many skills over.

Sure, you can use the Wolves XP. Are you thinking of basing a PC on it, or using it as the general RP background, though?


Before I head off to sleep, just dumping my last sales pitch here. All feedbacks are welcome.

---------------------------------

The Nine Thrones have changed hands many times.

Yet no matter how bloody the Thrones' ends often became, families still strove toward that power.

However, as of now, I see no other families within the Wolves of the North who may topple the current ruling Nine.

For their powers, when used as one, renders them almost invincible.

House Kalachev, the Usurper. House Yano, the Hellish Prophet. House Bi, the Half-Welded Mirror. House Liu, the Pillars of Heaven. House Miyashita, the Iron Priest. House Kim, the Eternal Vessel. House Kaiemura, the Mortal God. House Yurinov, the Splendid Artist. And House Verden, the Dreamweaver.

Beware, orthodox magi. Your hold upon the Wolves of the North have become feeble. Beware of their rise, of their greed. Their might is nothing like that of their ancestors a century ago.

If any are seeking to break apart the wolf pack, they may only seek to do so from within.

And as for those who protest that there is no need, I ask of you...

How willing are you to trust heretics?

Personality: Sleepy, Slow, sort of dazed though when awake is very kind if not ditzy or air-headed. Despite this she has a very keen perception of things and people which she also can be a good consultant or advice giver if need be.


History: Was born from a Japanese and English descent. She lived in a town near a forest said to contain spirits that in legend lure little kids away from home and spirit them away. Out of simple childish curiosity she went into the forest to play but was attacked by Fairies/Sprites/Nymphs (she doesn't know exactly what they were) and was drained of her energy. When the townspeople found her they discovered that she could only stay awake only a few hours per day and the rest sleeping or in a droozy daze. Due to fear and axiety because of this syntoms her parants send her to a boarder catholic school to hopefully recieve God's divine grace to cure her but that didnt't happen instead howevershe caught the eye of th principal a former exectionor of the church who noticed the potential within her body. Since in most cases when spirits attack people of her age they normally fall into deep Comas and either sleep enternally until the spirit is destoryed or they die but Maria's body is actually supporting itself through other means. Seeing this potential she took her in to train her to as a member of the church and helped her design a couple of her ablities and creating a close friendship with the principal. She came to Tsukuyomi Gakuen was because the borarding school was only up until high school and she had a scolorship their as well and was reccommended by the principal so deciding to go to the flow she ended up on the ship to Tsukuyomi Gakuen.

Major Perks:


Peaceful sleep (A.K.A. Air headed, oblivious by princcipal): Her natural ablity to block, negate any type of magical based artifact, skill, or ablities that will interfere/attack with with her brain/mind and it's sub systems (like the nervious system) instead depending on what ablility (like information gathering it counters by sending spam like information) though depending on what type of Artifact however if it's very high quality and powerful it might be able defeat this ablility though perhaps a bit weakened as a result


Dream walker: The ablity to walk into or enter people's dreams in which she can find the origin of it to help other or to remake the dream into something pleasant or a nightmare but she can only enter only if she's given permisson to enter though. She can also protect the mind/dream interfeanence if a magi or familar from invading their dreams (though powerful ones like Ren might would only be delayed and will break through) it is only effective when their sleeping.




Minor perks:


Pet(Mr.Sheep): A pet given to her by the principal though not a familiar he has the knowledge of an average person though cannot spea but can read and the possiblity of writing if it were not for the fact he has hooves instead of hands. His only real special trait is his soft wool that makes falling asleep much more easier.


Great perspective: Due to her mind being a bit slow she can analize and take in people's expressions and words much more closely and is able to perscieve or accuratly guess their problems or if their hiding


Great Consulant: Due to having been training under the principal of her shool and as a joke/punishment, the principal stuffed her into a confession booth in which unintentionally caused her to give advice to others due to people entering for confession due to this in her school she was known as the 'Maria of the Confession Booth'


Staff training: Carries a shepard's staff with her (as a joke/whim by the principal) and has some training in it how to defend herself.


Sleepwalking: She can do daly tasks while sleeping such as eating, changing her clothes, washing, and taking exams without her knowledge at times.
Flaws:


She has very little combat ablility despite having some training with a staff she can be easily overpowered depending on the person. Her other minor ablitlies can only be used when she's awake or if not semi-awake. She's also sleeps an amnormal amount of hours in which will make her defenseless (exculding Mr.Sheep) if someone is out to kill her. She is also mainly a support character and despite being a relgious student is not infliated it the church despite going to Catholic school and being taught by a retired Executor though she might recongize basic magecraft or church weaponry (like black keys) she cannot really use both of these since she is only limited by her ablities.

Here peeps, have a trap.

First Name: Tenchi 『天地』
Last Name: Suigetsu 『水月』
Other names: 'Lucifer' by Church, 'Tenten' by Kyouka, 'Saikou' as alias
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Height: 110cm
Weight: 40kg
Hair Color: Green
Eye Color: Turquoise
PC Type: Honor Student

History: The prodigy that Suigetsu Ryou, the previous heir to the family and the grandfather of the three brothers, was waiting for. Having completed all of the mandatory education curriculum by the age of 4, he was convinced by Ryou to begin training as a magus. Throughout this 'training', he adopted some of the ideals that Ryou possessed, and can now be called a 'little Ryou', who is heartless to achieve all he desires. At this point, this is to revive their clan and to elevate it above the Lorelei's prestige. In order to do this, he attempted to obtain the Suigetsu thaumaturgical crest, which unlike other crests, is kept within a grimoire. However, Kyouka prevented him from obtaining it, and through a series of unknown events, lost track of the book.

After this, not much had happened. Tenchi developed his own style of magecraft which he called 'Vibrato' and made use of it to earn money and reknown by acting as a mercenary for various devious factions in combating the Church.

Personality: Very devious and sinister, Tenchi can make many different plans and is heartless in progressing his own motives. That said, he is quite afraid and apprehensive when it comes to Kyouka, and also has problems with people who lack much wisdom or knowledge, usually developing a soft spot for them, or simply incapable of enforcing his own decisions around them.

Weapon: None natively, but uses a wooden staff for walking.

• Total: 10 points

Extras:

• [Major] Vibrato 『天罰』

Vibrato is a form of magecraft unique to Tenchi. It utilises vibration of structures and intangible matter as well as the particles that constitute it to manipulate kinetic and thermal energy. At his highest potential, Tenchi can cause Richter 7 earthquakes, or cause the whole ground within one kilometer radius to explode into an omni-directional attack of shrapnel. That said, he cannot change the force of movement of a moving object, or manipulate the properties of living entities.

• [Minor] Orthodox Magecraft Mastery

Expertise in generic magecraft. Costs tend to be less for the same grade of effectiveness.

Flaws:

• Arrogant: Considers himself above everyone else - makes it harder to increase his stats and obtain or improve his skills.
• Ignorant: Similar to his arrogance, it makes it twice as hard for him to heed warnings, making him make more risky decisions if he cannot personally see the related risks.
• Hikikkomori/Shut-in: As he spent most of his time indoors reading and studying, he finds it much harder to forge, maintain and improve relationships
• Unfit: Energy consumption is double the normal, and stamina takes longer to improve.
• Infamous: While the Church does not know his name, it is more likely that dealings with such members would fail very easily.
• Overload: If the potency of the spell is too high, it can rebound and damage Tenchi instead.

Spell List

• Wall - By increasing the vibrations of the plates to accelerate tectonic movements, Tenchi can cause a wall of earth to shoot up in front of him, providing some basic defense.
• Room - An expansion of wall, creates four walls that surround Tenchi.
• Boulder - Raises a boulder from the earth into the air which Tenchi can fire in a single direction.
• Ring - An expansion of wall, which raises multiple boulders around Tenchi which spin then are fired in a random, distinct direction.
• Shatter - A break off spell usable with all the above spells. It causes the vibrations to exceed the capacity allowed to the object in question, forcing it to literally shatter into many little pieces of shrapnel that are omni-directionally fired. Can be used by itself by focusing on a single, shallow point on the ground and forcing an earthquake at that point. The concentrated force would cause an implosion that shoots outward from the ground, covered a range in the shape of a semi-circle.
• Minefield - A mix of shatter and a larger variation of Ring, it causes many number of boulders to rise from the ground and causes its particles to vibrate to the brink, but not just enough to explode it. Upon contact, each mine would trigger a shatter effect which have a likelihood of triggering it for each other mine.
• Earthquake (x) - By calling out the magnitude in place of (x), Tenchi can cause an earthquake of that magnitude. He is capable of pinpointing the epicenter as long as it is within his range of vision. However it will always only be 1m underground. The highest magnitude Tenchi can use at his peak is 7, and any higher would trigger his overload flaw.
• Disintegrate - A basic spell that causes a single structure to shake violently, leading it to possibly dismantle itself. Cannot be used on buildings.
• Tidal Wave - Using the same method as Earthquake, Tenchi can call a large tidal wave from a nearby water or other liquid source.
• Evaporate - By increasing the vibration speed of liquid from a nearby source, Tenchi can heat it up to the point of evaporation.
• Rainfall - Requires evaporate to have been used, or for cloudy weather. It causes rain. Use and effectiveness varies on the situation.
• Cool - By slowing down the speed that particles vibrate, Tenchi can slowly reduce the temperature of that object.
• Warm - The opposite of cool, which slowly increases the temperature by accelerating the speed that particles vibrate.
• Shock freeze - By slowing down the speed that particles vibrate in a short time, Tenchi can freeze that object. Can turn liquid into ice.
• Boil - By accelerating the speed that particles vibrate in a short time, Tenchi can cause that object to heat up very quickly. Can cause liquid to boil.
• Hailstorm - A combination of Rainfall and Shockfreeze, Tenchi can call down a rain of hail. Shatter can be used on this, but for less effect than when used with the earth spells.

Also...
Missed this earlier.

EDIT: Speaking of, you're going to recycle the Suigetsu brothers? I can't use them in my fic...?

Not gonna be reusing them completely, probably. Doubt we'll have a sandbox RP like this for awhile.

I'll probably reuse and rework the abilities. If it fits I might use the background (with some massive changes, maybe.
Nothings stopping you from using them =]

[Chaos Greyblood]

Here's Keisuke's profile. At first I had to eliminate his Reinforcement spells because Revy told me not to have Keisuke try to do too many things, but since Bring had allowed it, I was planning to re-add them again. I'll do so in a future edit.



Keisuke Aihara
Type: Normal Student
Perks: Fortune Event, Heart of the Underdog, Soul of Ambition (9 points used in total)
Strength: 12
Constitution: 10
Stamina: 15
Agility: 14
Dexterity: 14
Intelligence: 10
Wisdom 7
Charisma: 9
Comeliness: 9

Extras
Mayor - Multiple Gifted Abilities (Stamina, Agility, and Dexterity): While Keisuke isn't overly strong he possesses various skills in these areas that aid him in various situations. He has the quickness, swiftness on his limbs and the resistance to go through tasks for a long period of time.
Mayor - Exceptional in a skill (magic): Keisuke is able to cast spells from at least one element. He also possesses a talent accessed by his Magic Circuits that remains classified.
Mayor - Artifact (Sylpheed Whip): A long, well made whip that’s crafted together with special materials that give it flexibility, range and tensile strength. A special pattern has been carved throughout the whip that responds to its bearer’s magic, thus obtaining certain properties. The artifact’s power increases as the bearer’s skill increases.
Minor – Member of the Magic Association: By having become Makarov’s apprentice, Keisuke gained membership as a mage in the Magic Association.

Profile: Keisuke goes with the flow, likes to be open-minded and friendly. He searches for some love in the school and it could come from almost anywhere. Even if he's green in some areas, he's skillful in others and tries hard to improve. He also sees attending Tsukuyomi Gakuen as an opportunity to tune his skills as a young mage from the Magic Association. Since Keisuke is a recent member of the Magic Association, he is skilled in some areas and has a willingness to learn. However, since he’s rather green, some drastic events can get him upset and since he’s first starting out as a novice mage, he will be prone to make reckless decisions. An impulsive, yet well meaning individual who has room for growth.


Flaws
Reckless action – Keisuke at times reacts impulsively at some actions and acts upon them. This can cause a few problems, but nothing that can’t be fixed with experience.
Lucky or unlucky heart – Keisuke warms up to the concept of being able to find love wherever he looks for it or a special connection with someone. He may be lucky or unlucky with certain kinds of people depending on how he handles himself when talking to them.
Rookie – Keisuke feels as though he’s green in some areas and he may not always have an answer or gets shaken with a particularly upsetting event that may happen in front of him. He has to learn to cope with his shortcomings and begin his rise as both a person and a mage while balancing his responsibilities.

Skill set

Wind element
Gust Slasher: Keisuke is able to cast slashing waves of gust by waving his hands forward. The waves skim across the ground and they can also reach airborne targets. They can fly through a distance before the gusts dissipate along the current of the wind.

Ventus Curtain: Keisuke encases himself with a cocoon made out of wind that rapidly flows with the speed of a small tornado. Any attack that comes close to the curtain may get deflected, but dissipates when struck with a greater force. If this happens, the Curtain may block some of the damage incurred provided it isn’t too severe.

Radial Windblast: Keisuke casts a large air bubble that blasts into the area and attacks the opposition with a powerful explosion of wind. It works very well against enemies that are enclosed together as this can break their formation and push them away. Because of the strength invested in his spell, it may cost a good amount of Prana.

Wing Surge Wave: Keisuke makes a jump at the air and casts cutting waves with the shape of wings that surge towards his intended target(s).

Maelstrom of Turbulence: A large maelstrom is cast on the battlefield and rages with the force of a powerful gale. It strikes multiple targets for heavy damage in a large and open area, but due to its power it has a high Prana cost.

Twister Spiral: A gust of air shoots out like a bullet towards the target. If it hits, a spiral erupts at the point of attack that fits one person, cutting all around as though inside a shredder. An anti-personnel spell, this spell is focused on one target at a time.

Physical skills

Butterfly Sniper Crack: With the precision of a sniper, Keisuke uses the Slypheed Whip to strike a target on a particular spot regardless of the narrow width and size of the target point. This can be used to disarm someone, intercept a projectile or attack a very specific spot with great accuracy.

Whirlwind Snap Strike: With skill and quickness, Keisuke swiftly flails his whip as he lashes out at nearby targets with swift force inside the area of effect. It takes a degree of skill to use this technique properly, but the trade-off can be satisfactory.

Eagle Beat Lash: Keisuke makes a wavy lash with this whip that can hit horizontally or vertically as it makes the motion of an eagle moving his wings. It can hit some targets lined up in wide open positions.

Snare Snatcher: Keisuke catches his enemy with his whip by snaring the target, immobilizing it momentarily. He can then decide to either hold them in place or snap them towards him for a quick attack.

Now it's Ayumi's turn. I also did some revisions as per Revy's requests, though a few of them were finished.



Ayumi Nakajima
Type: Honor Student
Perks: Strength Boost, Intelligence Boost, Natural Skill (10 points in total)
Strength: 15
Constitution: 12
Stamina: 13
Agility: 15
Dexterity: 16
Intelligence: 12
Wisdom 7
Charisma: 10
Comeliness: 10

Extras
Mayor - Multiple Gifted Abilities (Strength, Agility, Dexterity)
Mayor - Artifact (Caliber gauntlets): Her Caliber Gauntlets were crafted by her family years before her training had begun and now that she has reached an age where she can use them, they’re her best tools. The gauntlets help her amplify her attacks by focusing her ki on them, enabling her to do powerful strikes or attacks.
Mayor - Family Ability (Ki user): The Nakajima family has been known to be excellent martial artists that have harnessed the use of ki in their techniques as it were in ages past. Ayumi Nakajima is the latest member that has this trait and is able to execute physical feats that others could not do in normal circumstances.
Minor – Big-hearted: Ayumi will be able to survive even if she gets struck with a deadly blow. Her heart allows her to go on with the feelings of her friends and family in her heart. She will fight until the goal is achieved or when disabled.
Minor - Sixth Sense: Ayumi has gained a sixth sense that allows her to detect incoming attacks or feel a nearby presence as a martial artist.

Profile
Ayumi is known as a hard worker who gained what she has and was pretty popular as a cute girl who likes to be a little unkempt. Having trained with her family, Ayumi is able to use her ki to focus her attacks or create her own, which is amplified by her crafted gauntlets. However, she is prone to charge headfirst into battle once a challenge is set and doesn’t know when to quit. She also shows a bit of tardiness, which concerned her teachers a little despite having high grades in school. Unlike some girls, she likes to do some strenuous activities rather than just carry on like any normal girl of her age. This gives her the drive to improve as both a fighter and a person and she’s trustworthy to those that earned that merit.

Flaws
Headstrong challenge – Ayumi accepts any challenge and wants to see it through. This is both a good quality and a glaring negative, since she wishes to test her skills.
Simple minded – Ayumi keeps simple things in mind when it comes to life. At times, a few topics may be over her head, so she may not always understand more complicated nuances that are talked about.

Skill set

Techniques
Dragon Breath War Cry: With a focused will, Ayumi lets out a scream that helps her release her inner strength concentrated on the Dan Tian point in her stomach, thus becoming combat ready for any opponent she comes across.

Dragon Strike Wall Shattering Palm: With concentrated force, Ayumi attacks with a quick strike that can break a wall into pieces with a swift stroke. It is an attack that deals moderate damage on a single target.

Starlight Bridge Leg Lariat: With a swift and graceful action that makes a gymnast look like a ranked amateur, Ayumi brings forth a powerful kick that strikes towards the head or the side of the body with quick and decisive force. Her movements evoke the sight of a bridge that stands alit in the middle of starlight.

Rising Dragon Grand Punch: Standing tall and then rising as a great dragon in the sky, Ayumi raises her fist in a vertical motion to strike down any incoming target that dares to attack her from the air. A combination is possible when linking it from a previous attack.

Shooting Star Falling Star: Ayumi starts to move with quickness and celerity as she cartwheels towards her target and strikes it with a handstand kick that launches her target with enough force to start flying in the sky. Ayumi then follows her target by jumping up towards it and brings it down hard with a powerful punch. It is possible to make a front flip to reach the opponents backside and then execute the kick provided the opponent does not anticipate the action first.

Temple Shattering Gate Crasher: Ayumi executes a snap jump at her opponent and strikes at the head with a double heel crack that attacks on both sides of the skull. Ayumi then follows up with two quick sets of powerful palm strikes that hit the stomach, blowing them away a certain distance.

Ougi – Fuu Rin Ka Zan: Ayumi pours her heart and soul in this final technique as she prepares herself to unleash it. Following the precepts ‘Swift as the Wind, Silent like the Forest, Burning like Fire and Still as the Mountain’, Ayumi connects with a long and powerful combination of punches and kicks and ends with a truly mighty attack that can shatter the ground. This technique can take a lot of effort to complete and this may tire out Ayumi if she uses more energy than necessary for this attack.

Ki attacks

Ground Blast Wave: Ayumi focuses her ki in her fist and sends forth a wave that skims through the ground, hitting the opponent. It may not be effective against flying enemies.

Blazing Cyclone: Ayumi attacks the target by spinning towards them and strike them down with her fists. Focusing her ki in this technique can allow her attack to hit harder, though using it too much can exhaust her.

Heaven Shattering Flash: Ayumi lets out a blast of ki that seeks to strike down aerial opponents. This technique truly works best in coordinated attacks or when Ayumi goads the opponent to take the air where their evasive maneuvers are lower.

Earth Cracking Wide Wave: Ayumi focuses her ki in her fist to strike the ground, producing a shockwave that hits surrounding opponents on the area of effect.

Wow these guys make Maria really under powered *shrugs*

Oh well, she was more of a consultant then anything else.
