Other:

Most in Brain Burst probably believe that Shizuka has uninstalled and retired from the game seeing as she hasn't gotten on it in the last three years. This fortunately is untrue, though she doesn't know why she can't seem to push herself to delete it. Maybe it was all the memories they held of her brother and the last thing she wanted to do was purposely forget him or maybe it was the guilt from thinking it was her fault. If she hadn't gotten to level nine, if she hadn't been a huge target than none of this would have happened. Her brother died because of that crash and nothing could change that no matter how much she wanted to. It was her fault. If it hadn't been for her brother's Guardian than she would have been challenged while completely injured in a coma. Mamorimasu worked hard to keep her safe but the coma wouldn't shake so he went to seek help. He risked it all asking for the from an unlikely source help, feeling that the person was trustworthy enough to know the Black Kings identity and not take advantage of that knowledge. Failing and having Brain Burst uninstalled before she ever woke up maybe that would have been better in her opinion upon awaking. Instead, they were the winners and their attacker couldn't remember why they had done what they did, at least not completely which made a perfect insanity plea. Others tried to attack later but between her two protectors, there was no chance.
Shizuka is slightly afraid to stand back up and jump into the Accelerated World again. It makes her worry that her brother meant nothing but she is slowly coming to terms with what happened and the call of that World has slowly started to grip her again after all these years.

Fun Facts:

• Shizuka is mute in the real world. The only way she can speak to another is a wired connection or a Burst Link where her Avatar is in control. It is this reason that Brain Burst is so alluring to her because it gives her a voice.
• Her brother was a twin.
• Her brother was also the one that gave her Brain Burst and never cared about her rising level as he wanted to support her if he couldn't protect her any longer
• Loves the rain
• Actually should need glasses but her Neuro Linker corrects that problem. When she takes it off she must use glasses.
• Mamorimasu(her brother's Guardian the Emerald Shock) and the person Mamori trusted are the only people that know her real identity and that she is still able to be a part of Brain Burst and he has subtly been helping in trying to get her to return.
• Her father is the CEO of a major software development company and her mother is the head engineer and designer of the latest hardware
• Her parents have shunned Shizuka from basically the beginning. Once they found out she would never speak to take over for one of her parents as a protege, they turned all their effort on Aishi to take over for one of them and looking in to possibly another child.
• After Aishi's death, Shizuka was blamed and kicked out of her own home with practically nothing, Mamorimasu's family gave her a game testing job in their company and help creating games. She has a side projects that she tells no one about but it pays well.
• Shizuka has never used her wings in Brain Burst. The wings were gifted to her after her Brain Burst days and she won't speak of the reason why they were gifted since this is a very hidden secret of hers.
• Shizuka's Dualing Avatar does have hands for close combat but turn into the guns in the pic at will.

Shizuka must take a good amount of damage before she can unleash her special. It is kind of a one for all deal and the damage her special brings is pure destruction. It is not a power is is very proud of but it reflex a lot about her life and who she is.

Rei's Dueling avatar can freely change between walking and running on either two or four legs, it favor speed, Agility and mobility. It's designed for close range heavy ordinance meaning large powerful blasts delivered at close range contradictory to what many may first assume. And his attacks often come off as near suicidal,

His Final Burst is called: Calamity Star, and is a quite literally a Nova Blast, eliminating near anything within a wide area from where he unleashes it.

Rank: 6

Legion?: None yet. (Possibly Yellow Legion)

Personality:
Rei is a curious person who like to both test and experience new things, it all started when he realized that because of his built none could really tell what gender he was at first glance. This opened up a whole world of curious possibilities and getting the chance to explore life from multiple aspects have so far proven to be a great experience for Rei.

Rei is rather playful for the most part, and don't usually take much seriously. Usually he's quite a happy go lucky person who just try out anything who he fancy at the moment and dismiss things that don't seem to stick. Yet he's usually kind even if he like to keep up the illusion of his friends not knowing what he is.

Bio:

Rei has always been quite feminine looking for a guy, and even in early stages in his life been mistaken for either being a girl instead of a boy, eventually he decided to make it his thing. To just not correct people and see how it went... it got quite curious the longer he continued and eventually just kept doing it. Getting compliments from both boys and girls is quite fun to him which is why he keeps doing it.

Besides hanging out with friends on his free time in whatever world they choose, he also play games solo and occasionally help his mother out in her store. His life didn't really change much when he became a burst linker, at first it was his a friend of his that invited him, and they played together for a time. Yet after a time they started perusing different goals in game even if they somewhat still was connected in real life.

other:

Contradictory to what many believe Reique or 'Rei' is a male who are often mistaken for a Tomboyish girl. And quite frankly is not opposed to what anyone really thinks about him, he attend all kinds of activities and wears all kinds of clothing depending on what people he spend time with. Only his closest friends know what gender he really is, others have to guess and Rei likes nothing more than to keep others in the dark about it. He have no specific reason above his own curiosity over what people will believe he is and how they will treat him accordingly.

In his own world he simply thinks of it as a way to both add and strip away the attributes of gender prejudice. If none can really place his gender they can't treat him specially because of it, they have to either pick one to cope with it or simply live with the fact that they could be totally wrong.

Whenever Rei go off to the virtual world he jumps into a rather busty anthro bear form, just because he find it quite curious what reactions it brings from others.

Age: 14
Rank: Level 01
Legion: Blue Legion
Dueling Avatar Name: Stark Zealot
Brain Burst Installed/Burst Linker: Yes; he was granted Brain Burst through his Guardian,"Rise" Valkeyr.

Personality:
As a Second Year in high school, Sarai’s main priorities in life amount to getting the best grades he can and generally just trying to survive. He’s often been described as someone who lacks any real goals in life but that’s not true. He has goals of course; those goals are just small for the time being. In his own words, “there’s nothing on the line” and no concern to worry.

Of course, all of this may change when he’s introduced to the world of Brain Burst. What happens then when he is forced to fight for what he believes in when he doesn’t know what those beliefs are? Only time will tell but for now all he has to worry about is not skipping that math test come next Friday morning.

Bio:
Sarai can tell any First Year at Umesato Junior High School that putting one’s studies above all else is probably the best way to start the school career. That’s because that was exactly what Sarai didn’t do when he was a First Year. A whole year later and he’s grown a little more with maturation, knowing that one can’t waste all their time playing video games all day. That just doesn’t cut in the real world.

That being said, the introduction of Brain Burst just might change his mind about the whole subject. He’s always had an interest in fighting games particularly so when rumors of one that included real-life stakes and unbelievable rewards reached his ears, he had to know the true. Unbeknownst to him, someone else was already seeking him out…

Other:
For some reason, Sarai's casual in-game Avatar is...buggy. That's the best way for him to describe it. On days with even numbers his Avatar will take the form of a male; likewise, during days ending with odd numbers he will take on the appearance of a female. This has caused much confusion in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Name: Mary Anne
Age: 16
Rank: Level 06
Legion: Unaligned-Metal
Dueling Avatar Name: Lead Reaper
Brain Burst Installed/Burst Linker: Yes, no one knows who her Guardian is. It’s speculated she was given Brain Burst by someone from her native land of Europe.

Personality:
Mary is quite the interesting persona to all that happen to stumble upon her. She is soft-spoken and polite a good majority of the time; so much so in fact, that she often stresses the proper difference between a lady and a heathen to anyone caring to listen.

That being said, Mary’s favorite topic of discussion would have to be the many ways in which to incapacitate her foes. She’s the kind of person who would gladly explain to you when and how you’ll die over a cup of tea. She does not fear death, in fact having a mutual interest in the concept as a whole and like to dabble in “light fun” when it comes to the occult. Of course, that doesn’t excuse her rather…odd habits.

One such habit seems to be a fascination with eyes. Human eyes, insect eyes, animal eyes…really anything that moves around in the socket and blinks. Probably has something to do with her covered own eyes, though she’ll momentarily drop the regal air and proceed to go into something akin to a panic attack whenever she catches people staring at her. All in all, a weirdo.

Bio:
Not much is really known about Mary, aside that she transferred to living in Japan from some place in Europe, though she hasn't said where from Europe exactly yet. Whether this was because of her parent’s work or some other reason is difficult to say as Mary doesn’t go off blurting her past to everyone she meets. Aside from that, she goes around living the life of an average student. Even if she is a bit of a weirdo.

Other:
She has a bad track record when it comes to relationships, be it boys or girls. Apparently she'll become quite fond of one person, smitten even, only to drop them in a heartbeat later down the line. While she often plays the victim case, a good number of her former acquaintances will pin the blame on her rather...manic and eccentric personality.

Kazuki Watanabe

Name: Kazuki Watanabe

Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes

Avatar Appearance:

Ribbit Ribbit

Dueling Avatar Name: Jade Guardian

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

Greeeeeeen

Rank: Level 04

Legion?: Yes, green

Personality: Kazuki is overall just a normal, nice guy. He often helps others who need it and have been called a 'pushover' many times. He also believes in the goodness of humanity. He believes that everyone has at least some good in them and always gives others the benefit of the doubt. This naivety has allowed many to take advantage of him, not that he minds or perhaps he is not aware of it.

On the other hand, his personality is not like that in game. He is more aggressive and willing to fight for burst points. While he is still merciful and reluctant to bring a player to zero, he is not a total wimp. But that might be because he has a reason for staying in the game and needing the burst points. So if he had to take another player down to stay in the game, he will. He may have a heavy heart about it, but he will.

Biography: Kazuki lived with his mother and his grandmother after his father passed away in a work-related accident. They were not well of because his father was the bread-winner of the family and Kazuki's mother was now forced to take odd-jobs to try to keep food on the table. Kazuki wanted to help but his mother told him that school should be his priority first. So he attended high school like a normal kid while doing his best to help around the house with chores whenever possible.

Kazuki had a childhood friend named, Saizo, who really helped cheered him up throughout all of this. It was because him that he was able to stay positive.

One day, Saizo invited Kazuki over to his house and seemed pretty excited. He was excited about this game his upperclassman in his sport team introduced him to, called Brain Burst. He was making a really big deal out of it and Kazuki didn't understand why. He says that it's something that has to be experienced to understand anyways. So he installed the game for Kazuki and it was pretty cool. He became the Jade Guardian. Saizo taught him the basics and the two eventually joined the Greens.

It was really fun, until Kazuki saw for himself what happened when someone's burst points reaches zero. Saizo had lost all of his burst points and from that point on, it was like he didn't even remember the game. No matter what Kazuki did or said, he really didn't remember. He couldn't even try to reinstall it into him. It just didn't work.

Eventually, they began to drift apart. But Kazuki kept playing. He needed those burst points to stay ahead. He needed it to help him on his tests so he can get a scholarship to a good university and eventually get a good job to take care of his family.

Other: He likes to tend his cacti in his free time.

Name: Riselotte "Rise" Valkeyr.

Age: 15 years.

Burst Linker: Yes. Her Guardian is on Germany, she has little contact with them but, at least, she knows they haven't been whipped off of Brain Burst yet.

Dueling Avatar Name: Lavender Limit.

Rank: Level 06.

Legion: Blue Legion.

Other: Exchange student/Burst Linker from Germany, Sarai's future Guardian.

Personality & Bio: Rise is kind of a show-off, with a bit of an ego problem, though most of these traits can be attributed to a condition very commonly spread between people of her age range, the Second-Grader Syndrome, better known as chuunibyou. She's been like this ever since her family transferred to Japan because of her father's work as an automation engineer at a major multinational German automobile brand.

She was a Burst Linker even before coming to Japan, though the number of Burst Linkers outside of the game's apparent place of origin is small to say the least. Which deterred her progress quite a bit. Coming to live on the heart of the Accelerated World was a blessing that she could not have imagined at first but, now she's making the best of it, to show that non-Japanese Linkers can be good as well.

Usually, Rise spends long hours online, flaunting her avatar that she built after countless hours collecting prizes from the many games that the youth of today like to indulge it. Playing games that cater to her strong points, such as quizzes, puzzles and other intelligence based games but, she's also very good at a the batting cage and volleyball (despite not being particularly tall). Even with the amount of time that she spends online, Rise tends to have above average grades at most subjects, because of her liberal usage of Brain Burst to study and during some harder tests, though she never uses it to cheat, just getting more time to thinker the tough questions while the world around her is frozen. To complete her experience with the Japanese school life style, Rise has joined the Sciences Club of Umesato Junior High School as well as become a class representative for two years. This semester Rise is been thinking of applying for the Student Council, but first she'll need more support if she ever thinks of winning.

Recently, Rise has developed a certain interest in another student of Umesato Junior High School that had rather poor academic records for the last year, while being very dedicated to gaming and has been thinking of offering him a chance of joining the Burst Linkers as well. That is, if he is willing to go with it...

Likes: Cherry, Mental Challenges, Batting, Chuuni stuff, Vampires...

Dislikes: Kanji (Why does that even exist?), Perverts, Crowded Places, Nato and similar foods.

Enyo "Eins" Reinhardt

Normal Appearance

Height: 167 cm. | Weight: ?? kg. | Grade: 2nd year of High School.

Avatar Appearance

Height: 143 cm. | Nickname: Falkenhime.

Dueling Avatar

Blue Lancer's looks remember Eins' to a great degree, though the Avatar is slightly taller thanks to its heeled greaves. It does have a lithe shape with armor resembling a classic Valkyrean armor, including "feathers" made out of blue glowing energy decorating her ankles and helm. The Avatar's eyes are covered by a sapphire-tinted crystalline visor, much like a motorcycle helmet, but her mouth is lacking any definition, again, like most Duel Avatars.

Probably the feature that that stands out the most on Blue Lancer is the one from which she derives her name. Her Enhanced Armament, Valkyrie Lance, which looks like a cavalry lance slightly longer than Blue Lancer is tall. The Lance has a design that closely resembles a rocket, or jet, including being fit with booster engines that allow for Blue Lancer to reach extreme speeds or even, jump to heights impossible to other avatars and perform aerial maneuvers that are a hair's breath away from true Aviation. Overall, it's a very efficient weapon that the Blue King dedicated years to master, an effort that paid off very well, in the end.

Height: 172 cm.

Name: Enyo "Eins" Reinhardt.

Age: 17 years.

Burst Linker: Yes. Her Guardian is her twin sister, who has a red colored avatar. Eins is also Rise's Guardian.

Dueling Avatar Name: Blue Lancer.

Rank: Level 09, Blue Legion's King.

Legion: Blue Legion, Event Horizon.

Personality & Bio:

Enyo Reinhardt (or "Eins", like how she likes being called) is the older of a pair of twins from Germany (though their home is actually located on the Austrian Alps) that were some of the first Burst Linkers of Central Europe. From the moment they were born, the two sisters received a neurolinker and were put on a wired connection, as part of a medical research on the cognitive development of siblings that were connected and those who don't. As a result Eins and her sister became pretty much inseparable and, up to this day, have a habit of cabling when any of them is feeling distressed.

As a general rule, Eins is a soft-spoken person that carries the air of a refined lady, perhaps because her family own a private security company whose roots trace all the way back to a Medieval European mercenary company (at one moment being under the employment of none other than Empress Maria Theresa of Austria), meaning that her family does have the pedigree to back such education. However, Eins does have her tease streak, like any other girl should have, as well as being a highly competitive person when it comes to her hobbies (she never goes overboard because of them, though).

Eins is an incurable romantic, with a tendency to what other people might call "shipping" those pairings she's fond of (sometimes even going as far as giving them a gentle push, when things aren't looking good). She's very tolerant to other people's views and opinions, despite being hard to convince to change her own, unless some given some good reason for it. However, not all of her traits are good, Eins is very insecure about her appearance or better, about her cybernetic prostheses, actively dodging people's sights if she thinks people are staring at her because of them. As a result of this Eins pretty much never comes to swim classes on school and avoids wearing revealing clothing.

Said prostheses were acquired after a traffic accident where the autonomous car she was in crashed against a wall to avoid running over a kid that had just crossed the red light (a terrible AI failure that had very a bad impact on the car company's public image for months). The accident caused Eins to lose her left arm and eye, some ribs as well as seven vertebrae, all of which were substituted with the best cybernetics as part of the car company's indemnity to Eins' family (including the surgeries to heal any leftover scars). Even today Eins keeps her insecurity and is visibly uncomfortable whenever she's on an autonomous vehicle that has no one behind the wheel. As a side effect, she has acquired a passion or motorcycles, because even today they still have to be controlled by the rider, instead of relying on AI.

Lastly, ever since Eins came to Japan, following her Pupil (who surprisingly happens to be the daughter of the engineer responsible for the Ai of the car that nearly killed Eins back on Germany), she became absorbed on the local culture. Perhaps, not as much as Rise but, Eins' became so smitten with Japan's pop culture that she got a part-time job at a Maid Cafe on Akihabara, which quickly became the Event Horizon's headquarters. She's also a member of her high school's News Club, using it as a platform to secretly publish "Accel Press" an underground Burst Linker biweekly magazine that she produces along with some other collaborators (no all of them from the Blue Legion).

Likes: Classic and pop/rock music, drawing, competitions, her work, mythology, motorcycles...

Dislikes: people staring at her, autonomous vehicles, wearing revealing clothes, very spicy foods.

Other: -Exchange student/Burst Linker from Germany, Rise's Guardian and Blue King. Suffers from mild algophobia (fear of physical pain), ever since the accident, using Brain Burst as way to cope with that, by experiencing pain without getting hurt on the real world. Has a desire to reach Level 10 and know what lies at the end of the Accelerated World but, isn't very willing to kill the other Kings, tryng to find an alternative way to do that.-

Rank: Level 9

Legion?: Red Legion

Personality: Keiji likes to be with someone. He can be quite talkative, and can't stand being silent for long. But he is also a little picky with who he hangs out with. He is a friendly guy and never forgets any favors that he owes to people. He likes to be more carefree than serious, even in serious and grave situations. But he knows his limits and when to stop. He is also good at analyzing what other people's emotions are.

He does takes his duties seriously, even when he doesn't look like it. He can be serious and still look like he doesn't care. The thing that he is most serious about is Brain Burst, because he doesn't want to lose it.

Bio: Keiji had been a Burst Linker even before high school. His elder brother introduced him to the game and he loved it. He met different people, and it helped him hone his skills, both mentally and physically. He even gained enough confidence to join a sports club. And the challenges of the game excited him. He stopped at level 9 because he didn't want to meet the creator. He loved this world and it became a big part in his life.

While his brother did get jealous when he outranked him, he was able to accept it in the end. But it did put a slight strain in their relationship that wasn't there before. It pained him because he considered his brother to be his closest friend. He knew that while his brother supported him, he still has his times when he turns jealous. Keiji could see it, but knew there was nothing he could do about it.

In school, he has good grades, which comes off as surprising to others, though he figured it's because he didn't seem to care much about school and quizzes and all that. But he never abused his Brain Burst. He worked hard for everything. And during his free time, one can find him either with his friends or playing online games or just going through some random dungeon. Depends on his mood. But he's usually always in the mood for chatting.

Likes: people, challenges, talking, playing

Dislikes: awkwardness, long silences, strict teachers, pop quizzes

Rank: 9

Legion?: Yellow/Flavum Regnum.

Personality: Hiraku is a person who is rather outgoing and friendly. His alignment in Brain Burst comes from his mixed desires of wanting to overcome obstacles with tact and skill and wanting to protect those he cares about. His emotions can be volatile, and he is known to have sudden depressive slumps, where he doesn't leave his house for days. If one manages to get into contact with him during these slumps, they would see that instead of being opinionated and strong-willed he is much more apathetic and easy to sway.

Other: He is known to write quite often, both in and out of slumps. Out of emotional slumps, he writes stories. In them, he writes music and music lyrics.

Personality: Isamu is a quiet kid, one that prefers to be a follower rather than a leader in the real world. He only really has full conversations with those he's good friends with. He fights in Brain Burst to keep the privilege of using the Burst Link, as well as to prove everyone wrong about him being weak. Since he is a metal type, this makes it all the more challenging, which may seem like a turn off to some, but not to him. His name means "brave" and "warrior", and by God is he going to live up to those expectations.

Other: His dueling avatar has no gimmicks (no flight, stuff like that). He has normal abilities, like any other would have, but he himself is an exceptional fighter, one who is more than capable of holding his own.

Rank: 7

Personality: Shiori, despite her feminine features and dressings, is considered a tomboy by many. Rather than do what most girls do (move around in droves, gossiping, etc.), she prefers going out on her own, exploring the town she lives in. When not playing Brain Burst, she is usually found training her body or her mentality, usually in the form of rigorous physical training. Her dueling avatar's large, hulking appearance stems from her desire to protect others, yet also her desire to show her strength to the world. Because of these conflicting desires, her avatar is prone to change during battles to whichever desire burns stronger within her.

Other: She lives in the basement of her parents' house, which she has since converted into a half-gym, half-bedroom, where one side of the large room holds her bed, dresser, etc., while the other side has a treadmill, punching bag, weight lifting bench and more to offer.

Biography

Momiji was born to an affluent family. Thus, monetary issues were never a problem for her. Despite coming from a well to do family, her life with her family is very difficult because of various problems. Her parents are divorced and her father has chosen his new wife over Momiji "abrasive attitude for a girl", forcing her to move out and live in an apartment by herself. Her mother had also remarried and considered her an outcast within her new family.

Thus, Momiji never truly had a figure to look up to during her childhood. Alone, she chose not to open up to many, leaving her feeling as if she was simply continuing existing rather than truly "living". She chose only to rely on herself, untrusting of most others in relying on their assistance.

Personality

Momiji is someone who always valued strength. The strength to protect oneself, and the things one might consider important it above all other qualms within life. Despite her pursuit of great power, Momiji is also someone who believes that ones who have power must protect as many as they can possibly protect. Such is the ways of those in power; ones with ability to should never neglect another, as doing so would be a misuse of their abilities, though despite this, Momiji tends to prefer not to "stain" her "individualism" with the wills of much others. Once she had chosen to take an option, she would never refute the judgement she had made unless it is overwhelmingly proven false or some sort of instance such as.

Momiji tends to comes off as a fairly friendly, though rowdy individual. Because of her philosophy on strength, she often helps those less fortunate than himself, even though she may make a few ill-mannered statements and the like, though not to the point of harassment and more or less akin to jokes and the like. Though rather friendly, Momiji is not often aware of the impact of her words on others, and can often get into fights against others due to these sorts of statements. One should expect blunt statements from her. She isn't one to sugar coat things and often comes off badly because of this. She possesses a fairly upstanding code of moral conduct on the outside, probably being best described as a "threshold deontologist," and when her deems a certain act to outweigh any others in terms of an eventual moral consideration, will devote herself entirely to that route. This further ties into her usual bluntness as when her is acting towards such a goal, she will rarely try to skirt around the issue when it is brought up.

There is not much that Momiji will take seriously, though one of these "triggers" she seems to have is the dislike of anything relating to her stature from other individuals, due to the fact she is much shorter than most others in her age group.

Unfortunately her proud nature and her hatred of being looked down upon by others, this often gets in the way of her making friends. But when her trust is earned, she is a genuinely kind girl who likes to take care of those she likes.

Enhanced Armament

SHIROU: A set of four oscillating blades connected to an magnetic core, using their consistent vibrations in order to pacify any aggression. Through use of consistent and high frequency pulsations, the weapon is able to increase it's cutting power passed what should be possible for a normal blade to lethality. Due to the nature of its design, it is impossible for someone to effectively utilize the weapon with their hands, however, alternative measures of operation exist varying on personal abilities. The nature of the weapon allows for each blade to detach and reattach itself from the main magnetic core at will, giving viability to varied strategic intrigue and modus operandi.

Electro-Magnetism: Progenitor's body is a unique avatar consisting of a series of segments held together by powerful electromagnetic forces which could separate considerable distances while still remaining "part of the whole" or core. Furthermore, one is able to utilize magnetism against surrounding scrap or equipment, and other metals to control without directly touching it.

Knows several languages, including Japanese, English, Italian, and French, though this skill is often unneeded due to the ability to translate from word-to-speech from the neurolinkers.

Biography

Evelina was born to a diplomat from Europe, whom of which married a Japanese woman who emigrated to Europe. Thus, she was constantly moving around during the times when her father was overseas.

Eva had experienced many of things within her travels. From America to India, she enjoyed the people she met, as well as the places she had seen. Though she missed her friends from these different nations, to experience the culture of another nation was thrilling to Eva. Not many other children could state they have been around the world as she had, trying the local cuisine and experiencing a culture far from her own.

During a visit to a country not known much for its stability, Eva had been captured by a militant group whom ransomed her to the embassy for money. Though the embassy gave the money, the incident scarred Eva, and she began to fear her travels rather than relish in the given opportunity

Sick of the lifestyle of constant movement and the like, Eva chose to stay with one of her mother’s family in Japan as her father and mother travel abroad in search of other lands. Adopting the more localized name of “Yuuki”, Eva hoped to live a more calm life in Japan, her mother’s homeland. They send postcards every so often about their travels.

Personality

Yuuki tends to be friendly to others, if at times a bit too trusting. Though she had not grown up in Japan like many of her classmates, she tends to try and assimilate herself to the various customs and the like within Japan, despite Japan being a relatively western Asian nation. Yuuki tends to misinterpret what others say because of this, at times to an idiotic degree. When enraged, she tends to speak in foreign languages; an aspect her father seems to share as well.

Yuuki is skilled in sports and the like, enjoying high scores within such fields in the PE program, as well as waking up early for runs before school. Due to this, she also happens to be extremely punctual, often never being late to meetings or school and the like.

It tends to be hard getting on her bad side unless you do something directly harm Yuuki or a friend of Yuuki, or start fights, but he is willing to forgive nearly every damn wronging people have done, so long as it's rational to complete such a feat. She usually keeps from harming people, but is not above doing what she believes is “right”. It should go without saying that he would do anything to protect those she considers “precious friends”, but would not look away from another's suffering.

Though in her days of youth, she loved to travel, currently she cannot stand leaving the metropolis, let alone the country.

Though she has adopted the more localized name “Yuuki”, those she is close to she allows to refer to herself as “Eva, a nickname given to her by her father when she was younger.

Enhanced Armaments

:

Balmung, Slayer of Dragons

A greatsword wielded by Palatine. Though massive, the user of the weapon is able to utilize the blade with ease, as if it was a normal sword. However, the weight unbalance does give birth to a more “savage” form of attack over that of a short sword. The blade is decorated with various runes inscribed upon the scabbard, the hilt, and the blade.

Although alone the weapon is effective in defeating opponents through sheer strength, when activated it is able to gain an elemental effect, ie Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, represented by the runes inscribed on the blade, which light up the color of the “elements” in question. Though only one rune can be active at once, the runes both buff the weapon and the user of the weapon at the cost of SPECIAL on each phase switch. Each phase switch as an initial effect and a long acting effect that carries through.

Upon utilizing the earth mode, the sword increases in strength, giving means to even “crushing boulders” and other such feats. Increases overall damage of the weapon by 50%. Initially, The user also gains a shield based on 20% of their total health.

When embedded with fire, the weapon deals a fire-based damage over time ability, refreshing the duration as one hits the opponent more. Initially, the first attack deals double damage to an opponent. It also gives the user an aura which damages opponents with fire damage as they stand close to the user.

Wind increases the speed of the weapon, allowing for increased maneuverability, as well as infusing the user with greater speed. Initially, the ability can be used to give an instantaneous burst of speed that decays over a period of time. The user can also call upon a gale of wind within the confines of a swing, pushing over opponents and dealing a small amount of damage.

Water gives heightened awareness to the surroundings one is within, giving a general understanding of one's surroundings. Entering a state of serenity, one is able to understand better the “flow of the world”, such as giving increased ability to predict and move out of the way of attacks. Initially, one is given a “screenshot” of sorts of the immediate surrounding area, allowing her to understand the location of opponents. However, it only affects a small area around her.

Dueling Avatar Name: White Excalibur

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

White Excalibur

Rank: Level 9, King of the White Legion.

Legion?: Yes, Dyrnwyn

Other:

Personality: Mana is a little odd, to say the least. Whilst she is outgoing to quite a large degree, she'll usually just play games. She puts little to no effort into school or studying, yet manages to breeze through with minimum difficulty.

She has a slightly off sense of humour that usually creeps in at the worst of times, and gets excited easily over small things, like a cute kitten. Plus, she is rather friendly, if kind of wary about people she doesn't know.

In Brain Burst, however, she is much different. That sense of humour and excitement seem to disappear, along with her friends notion. Mana here is serious, usually too serious, taking in everything and anything. It's been said it has been a very long time since White Excalibur made a mistake.

Bio: Up to this point, Mana has had a pretty uneventful life. There were some things in Brain Burst several years ago, including the disappearance of the Black King, but that's all behind us now.

Enhanced Armament: <<Excalibur>> is the Enhanced Armament that White Excalibur started off with. It's usual form is that of a small, white, sheathed dagger at her side with a long, gold and white hilt. This blade is the catalyst for many of White Excalibur's Special Moves, and has the ability to change to any length at its masters wish. (She could draw the dagger and keep drawing until it was the length of a great sword, or longer).

Personality: Tetsui as a person is quite shy. Usually, he spends his time with a close group of friends; friends he's accumulated and generally share the same interests as him. He isn't much of a social person, preferring to stay on his lonesome. Most of his time, not counting school, is spent on his own, with little interaction with anyone save his sister.

On his own, Tetsui's time is more often than not spent playing game, reading or writing. His game choice, and the games he is best at, are fighting games. It might be because of his usual self-imposed isolation, but he has a habit of just speaking his mind without sugarcoating anything. Following that trait, he has an inability to read emotions in people or atmosphere, which sometimes leads to very awkward scenarios where he says something insensitive.

History: In his life, Tetsui has seen hardly any action. It has been, for the most part, been entirely uneventful. Except once... It was a few years ago, when Tetsui was 14. His sister, Hitomi, had recently turned 19, and been bought a car for her birthday. They were close, the two of them, and one night Hitomi decided to take her younger brother out for dinner. Her excuse was a thanks for the money he put into the pot to buy her the car.

On the way back, Hitomi pulled over for a minute to take a phone call. The signal was poor in the car, so she stepped out for a minute to try and get a better reception. Carelessly, she walked into the road. It was clear she didn't see the bus... She went into a coma for a while, became paralysed from the waist down, and lost the ability to speak along with some problems with her breathing.

Enhanced Armament: <<Shield of Ares>> is the name of the Enhanced Armament carried by Ebony Warlock. It acts not only as a defensive measure, but also serves as the basis for all offence the avatar possesses. It is both an impenetrable shield and an extremely powerful weapon, but is very heavy, and using it forces Tetsui to sacrifice all defensive capabilities save the shield. It, essentially, turns him into a one way tank that fires nukes, but with absolutely no shields

About Ringo

In real life Ringo is mute due to a brain injury she suffered when she was young. While she mostly recovered, she’s lost the cognitive ability to use her voice, due to both physical and mental reasons. Thus she speaks in sign language or writes things down. While she can often do the writing over a neural linker, she also carries around a notebook to write things on. She works at a restaurant called Ambrosia.

Ringo’s avatar is a manifestation of her desire to be heard. Ever since her accident Ringo has always been quiet (Not much of a choice for a mute) but also often ignored and neglected. She wants to become an Idol so people would notice and care for her, remember who she was and want to be with her. And in turn, Ringo wants to love the world who has so heartlessly left her in the dust.

Duel Avatar

Scarlet Idol is a bit unconventional for a Red colored duel avatar, as most of her attacks are melee or short range. Her true powers lies within her unique ability: She can sing a song using her microphone, which not only makes her stronger but also her allies, allowing them to reach new heights than ever before. If she finishes a song, they will recover health based off how much health she has, but only them: Scarlet Idol cannot heal herself with her own songs.

Scarlet Idol’s Enhanced Armament is called The Muse, which looks like a microphone in it’s dormant state. However whenever she fights, she can summon a powerful energy blade from it. While she’s not as great of a sword fighter as most blue-named Avatars are, her weapon at least gives her something to defend herself with.

Aside from basic melee combos from The Muse, Scarlet Idol has four unique attacks. However none of her attacks can be used at the same time, and starting one will end whichever attack was previously active.

Hymn of Valor - Scarlet’s booms with sonic energy, creating a short range expansion around herself. While it does a medium amount of damage, it is strong enough to send even the toughest of avatar’s back.

Aria of Perseverance - Scarlet sings into her microphone, granting her allies greater strength than before. Their attacks do more damage and they have a hider damage resistance. In addition if they're under effects that are either damage over time or some form of crowd control, including being grappled, frozen, on fire, etc, they are freed and those effects end. If they are struck by those attacks while under the effects of Auta of Perseverance, those effects are weaker and end faster.

Song of Clarity - Scarlet can sing a song and give allies near her heightened senses and speed. She also benefits from this song, and she can fight while under the effects of the song.

Crescendo - Scarlet’s only true range attack, and a powerful one at that. Essentially it is a blade beam. Like many of her abilities, she can charge the power through song: while simply shooting it off will do a hefty amount of damage, the longer she sings the more destruction and damage she can do with this attack. However after using this song the blade from The Muse goes on a cooldown (Ten minutes if she uses it instantly, but only one minute if she sings a song for at least five minutes), forcing to to use only hand-to-hand combat and her other special attacks.

About Dominick

Dominick was adopted by his uncle on his mother’s side who runs a high class restaurant called Ambrosia. Dominick’s parents were loving to him, but one day his father got so drunk that he ended up cheating on his mom who immediately divorced her husband. While she had custody of Dominick, things got violent and her father killed Dominick’s mother and was taken to jail. Dominick was only ten years old when this happened. Since then Dominick has been fairly reclusive, not doing much but eating and helping his uncle with his restaurant. Mostly doing heavy lifting for him, but he also cooks, raises the cattle, and occasionally deals with drunks. Dominick also knows sign language and helps Ringo as her interpreter and friend.

Dominick’s avatar represents his strength, but still a captive brought about from his own sense of powerlessness. Like cattle to a slaughter. Always a big kid whose strength could have made a difference, but his own reluctance and doubt stopped him from ever making use of them. There are so many things that bother Dominick that he just ignores because he doesn’t want to cause trouble, but as Crimson Bull he no longer needs to hold back and can finally vent his frustrations.

Duel Avatar

Crimson Bull’s weapon is called The Breaking Point, a weapon so heavy only the strongest of avatars could lift it, and only those as strong as Crimson can swing it. Despite it’s heavy weight those who dismiss it as slow are in for a nasty surprise: It’s strength comes from it’s speed and it’s design ensures that all it needs is to make contact, however slight, to do massive amount of damage.

Crimson Bull has a two unique attacks since most of his fighting style otherwise consist of getting to the enemy and beating them to death.

Red Eyes - Red Eyes means take warning, because when Crimson Bull’s eyes activates he is nearly unstoppable. He will not be phased by attacks, moves that cause immobilization will not affect him, and he is immune to grappling. Essentially, he gains hyper armor. Additionally his defenses buff up as well, allowing him to survive a reckless charge even towards a heavily defended position. However when he uses his Red Eyes, Crimson Bull must choose a target and cannot attack anyone but that target. While he can inadvertently damage other opponents who are trying to stop him, such as trampling over them or smashing them out of his way, he must relentlessly pursue his target. He cannot redirect his Red Eyes to anyone else until his target is defeated. Should he change his targets after he already chose one, his Red Eyes immediately end and Crimson Bull goes blind until he dies.

Distant Trampling Domination - To put it simply, Crimson Bull turns into a large chariot pulled by bulls made of crimson energy. Fast, sturdy, and destructive, the chariot is large enough to hold a team of Avatars, or at least one of extremely large size. There are blades on the side of the chariot to slash foes who get close, and those who get in the way get trampled underneath or rammed with The Breaking Point. Additionally, allies who ride within the chariot are protected from harm: any damage that would be done to them would be done to Crimson Bull instead. Crimson Bull does not need any actual passengers to use this ability, though he can only use this ability once per battle, or after an hour cooldown while in the Unlimited Neutral Field.
