    A/N: Spare project that definitely won't have a schedule and exists to be written in when I don't feel like writing for any of my other projects (like right now). Exists as a sort of "side story/interquel/AU fun-time" for the Exodus Nine verse and the planned sequel, taking place after a "good" ending for Exodus (where the Devourer doesn't delete everything) but years before the start of the sequel as well:

    The protagonist is a "Spirit Tamer," a sort of supernatural police officer whose job is to keep the peace between humankind and their more supernatural neighbors (SMT Demons/Gods/Angels/Etc) now that the world knows magic and gods and demons are real, and a second "Age of Fantasy" has started within the world as a result.

    Basically they're human, but they're the SMT kind of human that could (possibly) get in a fistfight with Thor and come out on top; although a large portion of their power comes from the use of magi-tech devices called COMPs.

    Actual powers and abilities and personality will be decided by the answers to the questions above, although they will always be working for the SDCD, FCs next time o/
    Exodus (Complete)

    Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stilled and the actors leave the stage, the story will never truly end.

    Regardless of the form it takes, as long as there are memories of it's existence, the story will continue on.

    In a small ward in the heart of a once devastated town, life carries on as it always has...

    Because of you.

    Please, remember it warmly.

    We'll continue to walk down this path for eternity.

    Airen plz.

    1. Male.
    2. Fear.
    3. Girl.
    4. Armor model.
    5. Friends.
    6. ... Teacher.
    7. Hybrid.
    8. Lightning.

    So basically a guy who is self aware of how weak he is, who relies on his Comp's high defense to stay alive, who has no options but to go for an hybrid style because he doesn't stand out in any area. He actually wants to become stronger, but puts friends above personal growth. Fire is as generic as he is, but lightning offers more utility for someone like him, who isn't a prodigy. He is an intellectual kind of guy who is loyal to the lessons engraved into his mind by his teacher.

    Also he needs to wear glasses.

    Thank you.

    With a rival (same teacher obviously) who is (seems to be) infinitely cooler? ( 0_0)

    A/N: All chosen answers will have some effect on the character, not just the ones that get the most votes (although those will have the most obvious/strongest effects.) Think of it as a simple survey in a sense, answers might have more meaning than they first appear to have at a first glance.

    Tokisaka Haruto
    ??? - Lakeside
    Evening


    The first sound I hear is that of waves crashing against a nearby shore. It is a rhythmic even sound, waves that crash in time with my heartbeat, that seem to shake my thoughts more and more with each impact, slowing dragging to life the self that should have never fallen asleep in the first place.

    Yes.

    It takes me awhile to realize that I am asleep, but-

    "Master. Wake up."

    Along with the sound of waves, comes the sound of my partner's voice, echoing not aloud, but rather inside of my thoughts. It is the only other person that can exist in that space, a digital girl with a direct link to my thoughts, and when she tries to shake my awake my consciousness finds it can no longer retreat into comfortable darkness.

    Slowly...

    Slowly...

    Pain returns, along with an orange glow atop my eyelids. My whole body aches, the sensation is akin to what I would imagine the aftermath of being hit by a train would feel like; a dull roar that has spread all over my body and sends lightning shooting up and down my spine, the aftermath of some sort of attack...

    "Wake up! Now is not the time-! Did the healing not work...?"

    Attack...?

    "Sorry...I'm... Working on it..."

    Yes...

    I cannot recall exactly, but my instincts declare this must be the aftermath of an attack, and thus, I trust in my instincts and force myself to awaken through a world of rampaging blurred thoughts...

    Dual suns.

    I was on a lakeside, overlooking the ruins of a city I do not recognize, and there are dual suns setting over the horizon just behind it. In spite of the bizarre sight of two stars, there is a haze of mist over the lake, a deep fog that nevertheless doesn't seem to touch the distant city, and...

    Simply looking at it...

    ...Is enough for me to tell that this is some sort of incident.

    My head is still swimming in a fog of it's own, really, it feels like I'm forgetting a lot of things, so... Let's try to take it more from the top?

    The name is Tokisaka Haruto. I'm a Spirit Tamer. A sort of police officer, except instead of old-fashioned non-magical crime, the sort of stuff I deal with is Jack Frost freezing over a supermarket, unauthorized use of non-utility magical formulas in day to day life, settling human-demon disputes, human ghost activity, civilians getting their hands on something they shouldn't, you know, like...

    Artifacts?

    Excalibur, a copy of the Necronomicon, things of that nature...

    It's an interesting job, a necessary one, now that the world embraced another Age of Magic ten years ago, and...

    Yes, thinking about the Necronomicon...

    I think it was a book this time too... Got a call that someone was waving around a book in the street and causing spacial distortions, I had arrived soon after to put a stop to it, but the culprit had turned towards me and done...

    Something...

    Yes, this seemed to be an incident.

    What we call an unusual phenomena happening within the human world, they have rankings depending on severity, from something as low as a Demon picking a fight with a Human over a perceived slight, to something as large as Atlantis popping up in the pacific with an angry Poseidon in tow, but-

    This... Something as serious as a second sun appearing in the sky...?

    Seems on a level beyond the usual, if most incidents could be ranked from E-A than this...

    Was likely an S Class Event.

    A danger to the entire world in other words, something that hasn't happened since the defeat of 'Chronos' ten years ago.

    ...Of course I can't be sure, there is a possibility that something happened to me rather than something happening to the world, a conclusion supported by the fact that my communication lines to base seems to have been severed, but that's the sort of realization that only barely dampens the sense of lingering danger in the air, of course, I manage to remain about as calm as possible about the scenario, but...

    "..."

    This place isn't safe.

    While the distant ruin is already a sign of such things, my own sixth sense also declares it to be true:

    Violence.

    Hidden scents of copper, and the feeling of...

    Something watching me...?

    I can't see anyone, at least not with my eyes, but...

    1.) My memory is hazy and it feels hard to think... Get out of sight and confirm the situation with Aneko before doing anything decisive.
    2.) Call out to the unseen entity.
    3.) Head for the ruined city.


    Tokisaka Haruto

    Name: Tokisaka Haruto
    Gender: Male
    Age: 20
    Class: Spirit Tamer (SDCD), Persona User (Latent)
    Job: Spirit Tamer (Active Duty)
    COMP Type: Weapon
    COMP Designation: Aneko, Model #9742

    Special Traits

    -Against Doubt-
    You’ve been in this business longer than most, and one of the lessons you’ve learned is that the toll that comes with doing battle with the supernatural is not always physical, sometimes the thing that is attacked is one’s own psyche, the important belief that it’s possible to not only hold your ground, but outright win against beings 'superior' to oneself, or things that may seem 'incomprehensible' to most.

    Growing used to things like supernatural intimidation and fear through mastering your emotions, your character possesses an increased resistance to mental interference and effects and even when they do succumb are able to throw off the negative influences in a relatively short amount of time through sheer willpower alone.

    -Battle Beat-
    While magic alone is more than enough to make one a formidable opponent, you are not entirely dependent on it’s use, possessing significant ability with a certain martial art, be it armed or unarmed in nature, to the point that it is noticeable even amongst Spirit Tamers, who are always at least “competent” when it comes to physical combat.

    Haruto himself utilizes a form of Taiho Jutsu, and is capable of easily disarming 'weaker' opponents with nothing more than his bare hands.

    -Persona User-
    Unawakened. Character themselves is unaware of this power. Consequently, the details are unknown.

    -Receptor-
    You are more in tune with the “feelings” of other people than most. An elevated form of empathy, heightened to the point where it is blatantly supernatural in nature, and is theorized as working by subconsciously reading the “spirits” of other people or demons. People who bear this ability generally find it easier to get along with others, and come across as holding a certain level of charisma.

    You can tell when others are hiding pain behind smiles, when they mean to do you harm, when they need help or feel afraid, as well as the general “mood” of certain areas, hinting at things that have perhaps happened there recently that you weren’t around to witness. However, this is an innate sense that you can’t really dampen, so be careful that you don’t get caught up and swept away by the river of others feelings...


    Stats

    Strength: C
    Vitality: C
    Agility: C
    Sense: C
    Resistance: D

    Damage Affinities

    Weak: Due to inherent flaws in the nature of Harmonizer Barrier's Construction Method, bears a weakness to ice and wind magics.
    Strong: Resists Electrical and Mental Attacks

    Auto Skills

    Unusable due to extensive damage to the COMP System. In order to regain full functionality of the Harmonizer, the assistance of a Spiritual Smith is required; base Harmonizer remains functional however.

    COMP Spells

    Spell Circuit 1:

    -Zio/Zionaga/Ziodyne-
    Rank:
    E~C
    Basic Elemental Spell. A relatively basic spell that manifests itself as a discharge of electricity. Can be molded in whatever way the user desires, but most commonly appears as a lightning bolt from the user's body or their COMP. Has a possibility of damaging the opponent’s nervous system. The lowest level "Zio," is relatively weak but also does not overheat the COMP's Magical Circuit. Zionaga and Ziodyne, while more potent, cannot be safely cast in succession due to temporarily overheating their magical circuit; in spite of this, can be used in the overheating phase as long as one does not mind destroying this particular circuit and rendering it completely unusable until repairs are made by a COMP Smith.

    Spell Circuit 2:

    -Dia/Diarama/Diarahan-
    Rank:
    E~C
    Basic Healing Spell. Utilizes Magical Formulas to repair the physical body of the target. Does not remove supernatural curses, but depending on circumstance can completely repair physical afflictions. Restoring limbs requires the use of the highest level "Diarahan." Due to the amount of spiritual power necessary to actualize healing magic, even the lower levels of this spell have a notable cool-down time after use.

    Spell Circuit 3:

    -Agi/Agilao/Agidyne-
    Rank: E~C

    Basic Elemental Spell Family. Manifest and control discharges of flames that can be molded in whatever way the user desires, but most commonly appears as a fireball/flame wave or things of that nature. Overheats magic circuit in a manner similar to that of the Zio family of elemental spells.

    Spell Circuit 4:

    -Raether ~ Dawn's Chorus-
    Rank: B (C)

    An overwhelmingly powerful spell that was taught to Haruto by his "bad friend," or rather by "someone he wants to surpass." As a spell it is simple in theory, but hard to actually execute when it comes down to it. Gathers an excessive amount of power into the right fist, before piercing straight through the enemy with a massive "lightning hammer," designed to overwhelm all barriers that get in the way, although it's singular accuracy and speed of execution is lacking as a result. If nothing is done to reduce the damage, it is essentially a one-hit kill strike against most targets. While the concept seems simple, there is something wrong with Haruto's execution of it, as the original variation of the spell was widely known to be able to outright match "Thor's Hammer" in terms of output, and could be used alongside other spells.

    Haruto is incapable of doing any of this, while the sheer power behind the spell is "close" to what it should be, it takes the combined focus of both himself and the AI in order to keep the force from backfiring upon him, and as a result, no other spell formulas can currently be used alongside it.

    Spell Circuit 5:

    -Phantasm-
    Rank: C

    Common High-Speed Movement Spell. Originally created by Human Exorcists. Gathers spiritual power beneath the feet to enable 'instant' movement between two points. Not true teleportation, as the target's body does physically move between Point A and Point B regardless of how it looks to the average eye. Can be used to close the distance between the caster and an enemy instantly, evade attacks, or cause heavy damage through rapid strikes with a weapon or one's fists. Can be safely used every other turn.

    Spell Circuit 6:

    Circuit has been destroyed, spell inaccessible.

    Character Notes:

    -Survivor of the second "Kyuubi Incident." Saved from the destruction by an older man who would go on to become "Sensei."
    -Never knew his parents -at least he does not remember them- and grew up in an orphanage alongside a number of other children.
    -Two of those children -his best friend and his 'bad friend' (its a tsundere thing from both sides) would also go on to become Spirit Tamers during their university years. The promise between the three of them is that they would each become the 'strongest Tamer in Tokyo,' heroes for the city they grew up in. It is a sort of competition between them, however, Haruto is easily the weakest of the three, as the other two are natural prodigies while being just as -if not more- hardworking than he is; however, the will to improve continues to burn within him in spite of that.
    -Wants to be a Spirit Tamer in order to help avoid "another tragedy."
    -Lost track of the 'bad friend' a year ago.
    -Has traveled around the world a couple of times for training purposes, but wound up doing more exploration while abroad than anything else; is kind-hearted and makes friends 'everywhere he goes.'
    -Well-liked by Demons. Doesn't hold any innate bias against them, and is rather good at following their sometimes bizarre paths of logic.
    -Had average grades in school, likely could have done better, but his drive was elsewhere at the time. Embraces the unyielding nature of human determination, but can easily get tunnel vision because of that same determination.

    *Haruto's AI Partner. A digital entity whose physical form appears to have been crafted as an amalgamation of all the important people in his life, but who most heavily resembles his best friend "Atsuko."
    *As a weapon, manifests as a pair of gauntlets. Physical attacks made with her bear the 'Pierce' property, ensuring they always do damage to the target. The gauntlet's special ability is "Bullseye," which places magical 'tags' on struck targets, granting weak 'homing' effects to magic used by the COMP.
    *Personality wise, she is someone who claims to be Haruto's Elder Sister. Energetic, cheerful, supportive and teasing; has high expectations of her user, and gets annoyed if he gets 'mopey.'
    *Doesn't like to be dropped (even if on accident).

    Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stilled and the actors leave the stage, the story will never truly end.

    Regardless of the form it takes, as long as there are memories of it's existence, the story will continue on.

    In a small ward in the heart of a once devastated town, life carries on as it always has...

    Because of you.

    Please, remember it warmly.

    We'll continue to walk down this path for eternity.

    The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
    Coffee would be nice, though.

    Tokisaka Haruto
    ??? - Lakeside
    Evening


    I take cover behind a nearby rock formation.

    It's not a natural occurrence, the smooth rock that juts from the ground reminds me of the type of stone used for buildings, like a chunk of that distant city had simply been blasted from there and landed here; the upturn of dirt all around it helps support this theory a bit, but still...

    I can't think straight.

    There's a buzz in my thoughts, like a thin layer of static that made it hard to focus; I can't identify the cause, but seeing as how my whole body was aching, and my COMP was implying it had been forced to perform emergency healing on my body, I suppose there's a good chance I just managed to smack my head on something on my journey into the unconscious.

    But thankfully...

    "So... What the hell happened to us?"

    That's what Aneko is for, still...

    Might as well keep talking myself through everything, at least for now, it seems to help with my focus. Aneko is my COMP's AI, a digital assistant designed to help me while I'm out on cases...

    What's a COMP?

    I guess you could say that at it's base, a COMP is a magi-tech computer; they are devices that are capable of turning data into spiritual matter and vice versa, if you want to simplify it, I guess you could say it's a portable device that lets me use different kinds of magic. Spell rituals -you know, circles, hand signs, magic words- are essentially broken down into computer programs, and then when I want to use one of those spells, the COMP runs the 'program' using my spiritual power as a spark to light it's engine, and both starts and completes the ritual almost instantly, in essence, it's a sort of cheat-code item that lets me use powers that would normally take hours of prep to do more or less instantly.

    It has a number of functions besides that; it speeds up my thought processes when we're fighting amongst other things, but when it comes down to it, it's the reason why I can fight things that would normally be outside of a human's battle range, like demons or angels, hell... Even Gods.

    Yeah.

    They exist.

    Some are friendly, some are not, when they're not, you sometimes have to smack em around a bit to keep the peace. (Same with humans that start magical trouble too.) It's a rough job, "got into a fight with Thor because he thought you looked strong and wanted to spar," was not something that would happen in a normal job, but...

    When the Gods and Demons came back, humanity refused to be subservient, so people like me have to exist to keep things balanced; humanity isn't like it was back in the day, just because an opponent is a "God" does not mean that they're invincible, hell, if this job has taught me anything it's that...

    Nothing really is.

    Still, I'm getting a bit off track... Not a good sign when I'm just trying to think to myself here...

    So back to COMPs, or rather Aneko. Aneko is the COMP's AI, so I guess you could say she herself is the COMP, or rather it might be more correct to say she's possessing the COMP... Regardless she takes notes, answers emails and phone calls, helps me fight when necessary by analyzing enemy movements or deflecting enemy spells, independently tries to revive me if I'm critically damaged, detect ambushes or beacons of spiritual power, translate foreign languages, the works...

    COMPs are kind of miracle items in a way.

    You'd have to hit one dead on with some serious power if you wanted to damage it, which is concerning, because...

    She does appear to be damaged; some support systems are offline, and a handful of the magical circuits are busted...

    "At noon a report came in to the SDCD Headquarters of an incident at the Memorial Park."

    Still, the professional tone she took on the job was as present as ever, so she probably wasn't hurting too badly herself.

    "A man -identity unknown at this time- went berserk and began to attack civilians. The novel "The King in Yellow" was in his possession, and was the likely cause of the abnormal behavior. Civilians banded together to defend themselves until the Tamers arrived, we made it to the scene first ourselves, but were blindsided by an unknown magical phenomena shortly afterwards. Classification of spell was "Almighty." Defensive measures failed and I ceased to function for a time, you were critically injured, but I was able to revive you after emergency repairs to my systems, although you appear to be jinxed in some way, your soul is showing abnormalities... As for out current location... Hypothesis: The spell we were struck with was powerful enough to cause a spacial disturbance. Although I can confirm this is not the "Demonic Server," nevertheless, it feels similar to it."

    In other words, she thinks we got hit so hard we 'fell' into another world; or the spell was meant to 'send us' somewhere else; the Demons had a world of their own to hang out in, so the idea of other 'worlds' beyond that existing wasn't too far fetched, but either way...

    It sure as hell wasn't a good thing, especially the idea that I might be 'jinxed.'

    I didn't have any curse removing programs available at the moment... It would explain why I felt so weird, why it was so hard for me to focus, but-

    "But don't feel bad about it Haruto. It was a cheap shot."

    -Aneko huffs, as if worried I felt bad about essentially being beaten in one strike.

    ...I can't say it felt good, but...

    "Eh, it happens to the best of us... If it was an Almighty spell, there's not much we could have done anyway."

    Other than get the hell out of the way of it, either way-

    -It didn't kill me, so I figure that's a win.

    Of course, I can't congratulate myself too much under these circumstances; best case scenario was still "wound up in a different dimension, while a deranged man with an eldritch tome is attacking the hometown, yay" so...

    I have to do something to solve this, but-

    The moment I turn my thoughts towards figuring out what that 'solution' should be-

    The eyes I could feel earlier return to me.

    It's not hard to sense a hostile intent; or at least it had never been hard for me, so-

    When I feel that it's closer this time, when I turn instinctively to face whatever it is, I'm not surprised to find something there, no...

    What surprises me...



    "Hee ho."

    Is that it's a Jack Frost.

    Or rather that it's just a Jack Frost. It's a relatively weak demon, a far cry from the bad-ass eldritch abomination my mind had convinced me would be lurking out in the dark, and while the usual 'hee ho' is notably more deadpan than it's usual cheery voice, it's still just a Jack Frost.

    I mean a Demon is a Demon, it could certainly be dangerous to an extent if it wanted to be, but I'm not too worried about losing a fight to a Jack Frost.

    Still...

    ...The look in it's eyes is rather strange. I'm good with demons, took extra classes on their culture and mannerisms back in the academy, and a lot of the time you can just talk them down from trying to fight you for perceived insults, in Jack's case, they normally didn't take offense to much other than claiming you are a "ho-hee" (long story short, it's apparently offensive to them) but...

    "Heya."

    ...It doesn't respond to my attempt at being nice.

    Merely making strange guttural sounds, almost like a dog trying and failing to bark...

    A cold chill runs past me, not from fear, but rather the air itself being saturated with it's spiritual power...

    Geez...

    In response...

    ---

    1.) ...It's a Jack Frost. Even cursed I can probably take it, if it wants to fight, we can fight.

    2.) Keep trying to talk to it. Sometimes weaker Demons get in bad moods, but being friendly sometimes brings em out of it, and he might know more about what's going on.

    3.) ...Something feels weird about this, and I have to try to get back as soon as possible anyways... So just try and leave.
