Xing was taken aback. Was he hitting on her? No, he wanted to meet Kohryu. Well, one thing's for sure, Xing was NOT going to summon Kohryu as long as she can help it. "No, no, again, you just remind me of him. You both carry yourself the same way." Which was something she hated about Kohryu, but she wasn't going to say that, especially to the stranger giving off that feeling. "But I'll take you up on that walk offer. I need to find a worthy rival for my skills, and maybe some culinary masters to learn from. She said with a fire in her eyes. "So, whenever you're ready, let's look around." She said, hoping she'd have a hand. Plus, this way, people might think she's dating and won't approach her for weird questions.
Perry struggled with his dress in Elena's body, but paused when he heard what was said. "Wait, what?" Perry looked in shock. "Elena was going to do a mission with Markovis? What kind of... Oh..." Perry looked angry for a moment as he heard Elena cackling in his head. "Trust me, she's very aware of it. I wasn't because I passed out when she just ANNOUNCED TO EVERYONE our secret." He said, throwing his arms in the air and yelling at himself. "Oh come off it." Elena said taking back control. "They were bound to find out eventually, if they hadn't already." The body returned to Perry's original form. "Here's your precious boy bod back." she said in a mocking tone."I still don't get the appeal." Perry took a deep breath. "So, about that mission..." he began, "Is it within my or Elena's abilities." he asked hesitantly. "If so, I don't mind taking the job. We're kinda low on Jewel." He mentally stared daggers at Elena. Hey, don't blame me. she said in his mind.
"A Pugi- Oh, Martial Artist. Yes, I am. Everyone in my family is." Xing said after the man introduced himself. "As for my name, I am Xing Guan." She held up a hand and pointed to each finger, as if reading off a list. "Traditionalist? Kinda, except for the whole marriage thing. Practical, yeah, got that. A look of realization washed over her face that caused her to blush slightly. "Hey, wait, I'm not a kid! Maybe where you're from, but where I come from 16 is when you're considered an adult." She crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks with a Hmph. She sat for a second before returning the man's bow with one of her own. "It's nice to meet you too, Galdin." she began, "Sorry, for acting a little imature there. It's just... you remind me of my Fiancee." She scratches the back of her head, wondering if he'd take that the wrong way. "Not in a weird way though." she said waving her hands defensively, "You two just have a similar air about you." She worried that he might take that wrong too, but there wasn't a decent way of explaining herself, without showing off her Fiancee, whom she REALLY didn't want to have to summon. Besides, writing those talismans would take forever.
@Sanguine Rose@twave [h1]Elena and "Perry" "Smokin Bottle?" Elena repeated. Had she heard that name before? She couldn't recall. Perhaps she had, and just forgot, or didn't pay much attention to it. She was taken off guard as she watched what was going on with D'angelo and Nolan, since they were within eyeshot. She shook her head and turned her attention back to the table. "Oh, uh, yeah! Actually, the job I was looking at was that Drinking Contest one." she said pointing towards the board with a thumb. "Heard Marky Mark was real big into drinking, so I figured I'd see if he'd be up for it. She crossed her arms in thought. "Though, I do have to admit, I may have misread the job. I thought I'd have a chance to see if I could drink him under the table." She said. A moaning arose in her head. "Ah, Perry is awake. Morning Sleeping Beauty." She said aloud. Don't 'morning' me. Why'd you go and do tha- Perry realized she was talking to a group of guild mates, and had NO idea how long he had been out. What if she told embarrassing stories!? What if they asked weird questions? What kind of weird answers did Elena give them? What-who-whe- How long was I out? What did you tell them? "Relax Perry. I'm just trying to get us a job and make some guild friends." Elena shrugged then turned back to the table. "Sorry, he's being chatty." Elena, can you pleeaase just give me control back before something weird happens? A smirk went across her face. "Sure, Perry. Right away." "Elena, what was that smirk about?" Perry asked, then realized he said it aloud and in her voice. "Elena, cmon! You were supposed to change the body back! You know I can't use transformation myself!" He whined. Elena giggled softly in his mind as she watched him struggle.
@Zarkun@Silver Fox@Sanguine Rose@CitrusArms "Oh dear. Scared of water that badly? Maybe he thinks he'll melt." Elena unconsciously said aloud to herself. "I heard of a dark mage that did that once in a story book. Death by water." She realized she was speaking aloud. "Sorry, sorry, too used to 'being in my own head'." she joked. She listened to Jane talk about the reputation of the guild. "Oh, yeah, the guilds used to be great! All over Fiore, you'd see dozens of them, doing this that and the other. It's too bad it's not the good old days anymore. She snatched some juice as well, hoping it was wine. "Oh, I felt old just admitting that." She sipped hastily. Just juice. "Well, thanks for the tidbit, anyways. I'll try not to sulley the name too much more. She laughed "I think I can loosen up Mark, if he's anything like me. See what he might be interested in. I'll talk to you later." Elena strutted away, happy to finally be opening up. On her way over towards Markovis' usual spot, she stopped by the job postings first. "A drinking contest you say!?" Elena delighted. Maybe that would loosen up Mark. She walked over and noticed the man wasn't there. "Hmm. Where could he be?" She asked as she scanned the area for the man. "Hey, either of you seen my future drinking buddy? I wanted to see if Markovis was interested in a job I saw." Elena said, approaching Trinity and Neil.
She was taken aback by the man's words for just a moment. Did she really look that young? The outfit too! "I'm 17, for your information, perfectly old enough to be out on my own where I'm from. She pouted. "and my outfit is traditional wear. It allows for fluid motions with very little hindrance, like when I have to fight someone. She said the last part putting up her fists and shadowboxing. She then realized what his other words meant. "Wait, so you're not a food critic for Magnolia? You're in a similar get up to the last guy I saw in Crocus. They said it was the Flower Capital of the country, or something like that, but they didn't even have many cool trees, or hundred feet tall bamboo. She realized she was rambling. "So, if you're not a professional critic, what are you? An actor? I'm a chef myself, looking to prove my worth in the world." She smiled happily at her own boasting. Perhaps it might intrigue the stranger.
Elena was surprised by Jane, who had left the stage to approach her. "Yep, that's me." she said scratching the back of her head. "I, uh, hope it didn't put any bad rumors about the guild out there." She held her hands up in semi-self defense. "But partying it up like that makes me feel young again," She then pointed to herself with her thumb "Plus, Perry's a lightweight and passes out from alcohol, so I get full reign on the body." She gave a wry smile, "In fact, I bet I could drink anyone at this guild under the table. If you know any jobs like that, I'm your gal. A cheering caught her attention as she watched a boy bound over to her. She turned towards the approaching face, ready to answer any questions.. She knew there would be a lot of questions and concerns, but she was ready for them. But, she wasn't ready to hear that someone else was in there with Karn. She simply sighed as the boy sniffed at her. "So you two got stuck with each other too, huh?" she asked crossing her arms which unintentionally accentuated her chest. She was trying to remain calm, because she and Perry had been burned before on people making similar claims, but this one seemed different. "Wasn't because of a botched take-over spell like ours was it?" she asked raising an eyebrow. She hoped that the other two in her situation might be able to help. If they were like Perry and herself, then they've probably tried studying how to undo this too.
Xing and the food of Magnolia
Galdin @Dezuel Xing had been walking around the town for a few moments, when she spotted a rather regal looking man eating cake. She could tell he was very discerning, from the way he moved and seemed in thought while eating the cake. "Aha! Cake! Just one of the many hurdles I will have to overcome to surpass cooks here." She had never been much for baking the types of cake that were here in the Western lands. She was so used to sweetened bean paste buns instead. It was one of the many things she still needed to learn to cook. Xing raced over towards the man, believing him some kind of food critic, based on the opulent uniform he wore. "Western Cakes, huh? How are they here? I tried a couple in Crocus, but thought they weren't anything special." She asked him, trying to confidently break the ice. "You must be quite the connoisseur, given how deep in thought you were." She was hoping to goad him into revealing more about himself so that she could surprise him with a taste from her food cart. Besides, if a critic this well dressed gave soaring reviews about her food, that may draw out some rivals.
"Elena, please, I can do this myself." Perry pleaded from within his own head. "No way. If we're gonna start acting more like a guild member, I'm taking control. Elena said, stomping down the road with a purpose. "Besides, I was the one that helped you become friends with Ariel." "Were you though? I thought that was just because of her magic. Besides, I wouldn't really say friends, more acquaintance." Elena stopped in her tracks for a moment, clenching her fist. She thought back to all of the stories she had heard throughout her life. The risks that guild members would take for others. Maybe that was what she wanted to feel, now that she's lived a few life times. Somewhere to belong. "Look, Perry, you've got to get this through your head. A guild is a family. It may not be by blood, it may not be by choice, but for the last 100 years, being part of a guild means more than just a job." Perry paused while Elena began moving again. "Wow Elena. I... I didn't realize you felt so strongly about all of this." She gave a sigh as she walked. "You dummy. You should be able to parse something like this by now. Weren't you the one that convinced a handful of dark mages to become good?" she thought to herself. "Oh, we're here already!" Perry chimed in surprised. "Well yeah, Magnolia's not that big of a place." "It also helps that you were almost running the whole time." Elena ignored Perry and took a deep breath as she thought what to say. She had completely blanked on even thinking of something. What would it be? "Hi there! I'm Perry! Let's be friends! Look at my cool Light Sword!" No that's dumb. Perry's not dumb, and while she'd absolutely LOVE to ruin Perry's day, this was serious. "You know what? I'll wing it." She finally said, pushing open the doors with both hands. "Wait what?" Elena had closed her eyes, and began to say the first thing to come to mind. Perry's body would burst through the doors, looking slightly triumphant in a show of bravado. "Everyone! I have an announcement!" she began, opening her eyes to the liveliness of the guild, "I Perry, uh..." Elena, for the first time, began to clam up. She was interrupting so much. Everyone was going on about their own business, and she could've sworn someone said something about a festival, leaving her even further out of the loop. "I... uh... Friends... less... with you?" she stammered. "What are you doing!?" Perry cried in their mind. Elena couldn't take it. She was far too uncomfortable being Perry, and the guild had to know sooner or later. She knew she wouldn't hear the end of it from Perry but... "Actually..." She changed back to her original form. "Ah, I feel much better." Perry was so stunned by what Elena had just done that he passed out within their mind. "Alright everyone. Cat's coming out of the bag now. No offense to any Exceeds." She walked in, owning her voluptuousness and feeling much more at home finally. "Perry and I haven't been very gracious members of the guild, so I wanted to start over." She didn't mind now who she was interrupting, or even who cared. "I am Elena Rainor, and thanks to a magical malfunction, I am stuck co-inhabiting the body of Percival Grungust. It is a pleasure to finally formally introduce myself!" She waited for her gamble to pay off, knowing there would be many questions and concerns about this new change of circumstances.
Xing scouts the town
Location: Entering Magnolia
Xing's cart made it to the gate of the town finally, and she looked upon the bustling streets of Magnolia. "Alright! Time to check the town for some competition. Ox, you're relieved for now." She hopped off the cart to the front of the ox and pulled the Talisman. It gave a small whoosh as the Ox returned to the Talisman. She then skipped happily over to the side of her cart and rolled under it, pulling at a large talisman that was attached to the underside of the cart. Once removed, the cart disappeared in a puff of smoke. "There we go. Simple as that." She said, wrapping the large talisman that was nearly half her size and placing it into a smaller one that she had pulled from her carrying bag on her back. "Now no one- except these town guards- will know I run a food cart." She said as she skips happily into town. "Now, where to begin? Guess I'll just ask anyone." Xing began running around to people, pen and paper in hand, asking them where the best place to eat in town was, and who the best cook was.
Since I'm still tweaking my other two characters, I was gonna wait to introduce Alexander, Alvina, and Tristan, and reserve this spot to toss these two onto my Character Sheet later.
Shadow Magic: Puppeteer - Devin’s Shadow can control an object while connected to its Shadow. This allows him to lift objects almost telekinetically and move them around, or even activate the object without needing to touch it. His reach can extend when inside of another larger shadow.
Shadow Magic: Marionette - Devin’s Shadow rises out of the ground and can attack for him. The Marionette can extend its reach while within other shadows. However, the Marionette is easily weakened by light.
Shadow Magic: Snatch - Devin can grab the shadow of an object or person and take it from them, with enough force. He can then add the shadow to his own, increasing the strength and length of his own shadow.
Shadow Magic: Cast - Devin can use a shadow he has snatched to create a false version of a person that does and says what he thinks. However, these shades can only move and speak on their own, and dissipate when touched, though they can interact with items. Useful for a distraction or deceit. When dissipated, the shadow returns to its owner. He can even create fake versions of himself by using pieces of his shadow.
Shadow Magic: Poltergeist - Devin can release his shadow from his body to attack for him or to control items from further away. The only downside to this power is that Devin cannot move while using this magic.
Shadow Seith Magic: Gespent - Devin can place his or another person's shadow into a non-sentient or non-living item. The item then takes on the mannerisms and skills of the shadow placed into it. However, if the item is destroyed, the shadow is released and returned to its original body. If he places some of his shadow inside of an object, the item can float, make magical barriers and unleash magical blasts, similar to other Seithr Magic.
Shadow Magic: Necromancy - Devin can take his shadow and remove some of it from himself and place it into a dead being’s Shadow to create Zombies and living Skeletons. These creatures will follow the commands of Devin, but are only able to take rudimentary orders unless more of a Shadow is placed into it. By using this magic alongside Gespent, he can even place another person’s shadow inside of a dead being to create an obedient doppelganger. When a Doppelganger is destroyed, its shadow will return to its original owner.The magic does not work if the creature has been buried. Devin’s shadow can be split upto 50 times, unless additional shadow is added.
Shadow Magic: Shade Wrap - Devin’s shadow can merge onto his body to create an enhanced armor and weapon for himself. The shadow can then morph into different weapons and shapes for Devin to use in combat.
Shadow Magic: Strings - Devin can recall all of the stolen shadows still under his control and add them to his own.
Magic Level: A
History: Devin was a tall lanky and pale boy raised in an orphanage. Devin would often find dead animals and insects and play with them saying that he wondered what they were like when they were alive. This made many of the kids scared of him. His gaunt appearance and grim personality often scared off any potential parents, and the other children began calling him skeleton, a nickname he disliked a great deal. His only joy was a small flower bed in the orphanage’s yard where he buried the dead animals, and a small injured black cat he found there. It had apparently been injured and the boy nursed it to health in secret. It was the first animal that he played with that wasn't dead, and he was happy to have a friend. As time went on, he believed that the cat spoke to him. It told him that he could have more friends, and that it was a guardian angel sent to him. Devin, desperate for more friends, listened to the cat, which he had named Schwarz, and it told him how to use a black magic, similar to Seith Magic. Seven years passed and on his 12th Birthday, he had been told to test his powers to gain friends. Using his Snatch ability, the shadows of everyone in the orphanage were stolen. He then snuck out and went into the woods, where Schwarz sat. Proud of himself for finally being able to perform the magic, Devin showed off his powers by creating doubles of the children. Schwarz told him what a good job he did, and the doubles became an echo chamber, goading him on. Soon Schwartz convinced him to show the rest of the village his powers, and Devin did just that. From within a nearby cave, he was able to stretch his shadow far into the village and began wreaking havoc. He would cause small problems that would be chalked up to bad luck by the villagers. There was also the matter of the missing shadows of the Orphans that frightened the villagers. Over the years and at night, people began losing their shadows, and soon the village became known for being cursed. People would warn others not to go into the town, or they’d lose their shadows. Schwartz left Devin to his own devices. Devin, however, continued to create his cave dwelling family. That is, until the thought occurred to him that he couldn’t feel the touch of his shades. So, he began attacking animals and placing the shadows into their bodies. He would send these zombies, skeletons, and doppelgangers into the village to get supplies and more bodies for him to create more family for himself. Devin however was still trying to fill the void and began going into the village and trying to force people to become his friend, with his army of undead. The Villagers saw this as an attack on their lives and tried to hire a guild to take on the necromancer, but they were intercepted by Devin’s Shadow. Surrounded by copies and creatures, the villagers thought they were doomed, until a young mage proclaiming himself to be a traveling Dark Wizard slayer arrived. After the young mage proved his skills against the undead creatures, they asked him to get rid of the evil Necromancer. The mage used his light magic and destroyed many of the undead, and eventually came face to face with Devin himself. Before the final blow was struck, Devin begged for forgiveness, explaining his plight for friendship, sans the talking cat. The mage, still holding a blade to Devin’s throat, gave a sigh at the sight. But the mage could tell that Devin was not lying. After a chat, Devin released the shadows of the villagers, returning them to their owners. The people thought Devin was destroyed, but were shocked to see the mage return with him. They were wary at first, having seen Devin’s deception first hand. After easing their suspicions and chastising the village and giving a speech about friendship and bullying, the villagers’ tunes changed to pity for Devin, one of the children even offering to be his friend “for real this time”. Devin thanked the mage, wishing he had a friend like him when he was younger and the mage left saying that they still can be and that he'll be checking on him. Weeks later, the village had hung many lanterns and lights around the village as a precaution. A man with a blue sword had come to the village, along with a flying cat and a blonde woman. The man had claimed to come so he could gain the powerful magic that he had heard had gripped the town until recently. The villagers explained the story to the man, and Devin was convinced to leave with them by the child that befriended him, saying that the adults were still suspicious of him, and that if he left with them, he could make more friends. After a teary goodbye, Devin joined the Blue Bladed Swordsman on his quest.

While he still has her powers, he is not tied to the summoner’s will and will go off to do his own thing. While considered a Muddled summon, he will be dismissed after 24 hours if the summoner doesn’t dismiss him first.

Magic Level: S+/ C
History: Once upon a time, before even the dragon’s ruled, there was a village that housed a powerful magic, the power of imagination. The magic was passed down from generation to generation, with each iteration bringing to life their thoughts and feelings with a mere blink of an eye. However, the people began to become greedy, and left the village seeking new lands and using their power to create new kingdoms and empires. This led to many nations warring over territory and resources, causing many hardships and death.To stop the destruction that the former villagers had created, a single girl had used her magic to make a wish, to end their ambitions. The magic of imagination was sealed away into the girl, and the village was changed in an instant to reflect her ideals. Now, every 18 years the power-
The book ended abruptly, a few pages missing from the book. ”Hmm?” came the voice of the reader, a green haired girl. “What’s up?” Sid, a blonde haired youth asked from behind his workbench. ”The last few pages are missing from the book.” The blonde stood up, grease and oil smeared across his face. “Which book are you talking about, Nina? You read so many.” Nina closed the book and showed it towards Sid, it’s cover illegible, but the name Etheria Zenith near the bottom. “Oh! That one. I’ve never read it myself, but everyone in the town knows how it ends.” The boy crouched under his desk, lifting something concealed by a tarpaulin and placing it atop the bench. ”So, what’s the ending?” Nina asked as she put the book away into her book pocket. “Huh?” Sid asked, fiddling with the covered item. “Oh, right. It’s supposed to be the story of our village. Every 18 years we have a festival to honor the girl who saved the world.” Nina had a look of realization on her face. ”Oh, that’s what the Child Festival is all about!” Nina had never thought to ask about the festival, she just thought it was an excuse to have fun. “Yep. The adults say that it’s going to be a blast.” Sid said. He glanced around and hunched over towards Nina, cupping his hand to funnel his ensuing whisper. Nina leaned in close. “Don’t tell anyone, but the Mayor has me doing a big show with one of my inventions tomorrow.” Nina’s eyes lit up ”Really! You always make the coolest stuff! What is it?” “Nope, sorry, strictly confidential.” Sid replied, raising a hand and waving off her request. “ I respect my Clientele.” ”Party pooper.” She puffed out her cheeks. He paused a moment, tapping his foot, but couldn’t wait any longer. “Alright, fine. I’ll show you one thing.” He said, removing the cover from the item on his bench. “Tada!” ”What is it?” Nina asked looking over it. The thing was a strange cross shaped metal object that seemed to have a trigger built inside of it. “This is the Imagun engine! It’s going to be used to power my surprise! See, It’s called Imagun, but it’s more of a word pun. See, it’s spelled like Ima-Gun, but said aloud sounds like Imagine.” Nina was not impressed by the joke. “Anyways, it was modified from an Alchemic Gun, and uses the latent Magic within people to erupt with power. It’s the crowning achievement of mine that will make The Armstrong run perfectly!” ”Armstrong?” “Uh, forget I said anything.” Sid said as he recovered the device. “See, it uses Magic Soil to-” A chiming of the village bell interrupted the conversation. Six chimes. “Huh. That late already?” Nina’s eyes went wide. She had lost track of time reading. Sid‘s workshop was the quietest place in town, and it allowed her to really immerse herself in her books. ” I have to return this book. Thanks for letting me read in here Sid!” She called to him as she ran out his workshop door. “Anytime! I’ll see you tomorrow for the festivities!” Nina bolted through the town towards the library. She knew that they would close shortly after six, so she needed to get there fast. If she was late returning the books again, she’d be banned for a week. She approached the large building near the center of town, seeing the librarian stepping out. “Wait!” Nina cried, pulling the book out of her bag. It snagged, and as she looked down to free it, she didn’t see the young man turning the corner. ”Oof!” Nina found herself sprawled on the ground, the book having flown several feet away. ”Oww.” she groaned, holding the back of her head. “Here you go.” came a somewhat gruff voice. Nina looked up to see a tan young man in a vest, revealing his abs, and a large flowing cloak, covering most of his body. The boy wore a strange cap that revealed his rust colored spiky hair, but kept him concealed from the sides. He held out the book to her. ”Oh, thank you!” Nina said, picking herself up and grasping the book. She ran over to the librarian and returned the book, before turning around. The man stood there, staring at her. ”Um…” Nina began, timidly, ”I’m sorry for running into you earlier. The man continued to stare. ”Are you new to the village? Are you lost?” Nina’s words finally reached him as he shook his head. “Uh, no, thank you. I’ve been here a couple times before.” ”Oh good. Well, I have to head home. If you’re still here tomorrow, enjoy the festival!” Nina ran home as the sun began setting, and set to making her dinner. She had spent most of her life alone in the house, with the village taking care of her. She had grown used to it, her parents having disappeared when she was seven. She couldn’t even remember their faces now. She wondered often if Sid had a similar boat, considering he had been left alone four years ago. Not that the parents abandoned either of the teens, it’s just that when they left for other villages they never made it back. Much later, Nina had finished off her meal and was cleaning her dishes by the window, when a purple flash caught her eyes. She looked up and saw a ball of purple flame rise high into the sky, it glimmered and shone in the dark night sky, before bursting into a flash of dozens of other lights, the sound of it’s explosion being felt in her stomach. ”Oh! Fireworks? But Sid said that the festival isn’t until tomorrow.” Nina watched in horror as the flames that she thought was a firework, fell upon the roofs of the houses and began burning them. ”Fire!” She cried as she bolted out of her home. But as she did, she was grabbed by a couple of hooded men. ”Let me go!” she yelled, but they ignored her. People ran out of their homes, scrambling to find help and shelter. Many were knocked unconscious by more hooded men. Some of the villagers came out, carrying weapons, but were quickly dispatched by more hooded figures that had magic. No one in the village was a practitioner, and the closest that came to magic would be Sid. Nina was huddled to the town square where she saw many others lying on the ground or in similar situations as her. She didn’t see Sid anywhere, and hoped he was alright. Several hooded figures were positioned around the fountain in the town square, with their hoods down. One was a lilac haired man with a purple bandana, another seemed to be a blonde maned werewolf with a large sword on his back, another was a blue-haired woman with a bob cut staring into a Lacrima, a red haired man with his arms crossed, and a blonde haired man sharpening a sword. The final man was wrapped in black bandages covering most of his face. The boy from earlier turned a corner, holding the Librarian in his arms and setting her down gently next to the others. The bandaged man waved a hand towards the boy from earlier. The boy’s hand erupted in purple fire, and he pointed it towards each of the civilians. The fire would stay in the boy’s hand, and nothing would happen. As he went to each one, Nina grew more and more worried. Then, the boy got to her and the flame roared into a huge blaze, engulfing the boy but seemingly not hurting him. “Leon.” The bandaged man said. The lilac haired man hopped up from his sitting position and began walking over to Nina. He held his hand out towards her forehead. Nina was terrified, but a sudden rumbling from further in the village drew the attention of the hooded figures. A house was standing up and walking towards them. One that Nina recognized. “Villains! Taste the wrath of my ARMSTRONG MK 1!” ”Sid!” The house’s chimney began to move, and pointed towards the group of hooded figures. It spewed a plume of fire, but the hooded figures scattered, dodging the flames. The villagers began to run as the hooded figures positioned themselves atop the rooftops of the buildings, the purple flames still burning. Nina took the opportunity to run, but locked eyes with the red haired man. She couldn’t move. “You come here and attack our village? Why!?” The chimney was not turned into an arm and swiped at the group. They jumped it, except for the werewolf man who grabbed the arm and slid to a stop. He then pulled on it, tearing bricks from it. The blue haired woman’s lacrima lit up and she yelled to her comrades. “Another source of Imagination Magic is coming from inside that machine.” “Is it the pilot?” The blonde haired man asked. “No, but something near him.” “Good.” The man said as he drew his sword. Suddenly he zipped from the air to the door of the house and slashed it open in the blink of an eye. The man stepped in, only to fly out of the house a second later, a hammer head sticking out of the door. “How do you like my trap!?” Sid yelled. The blonde rubbed his head. “Enough of this.” The bandaged man said, pointing a finger towards The Armstrong. A large green spiraling beam came out of it and blew a hole through the house, knocking it over. Dust and Debris flew everywhere, some getting in the eye of the red haired man. He blinked, and Nina found herself able to move again. “SIIIID!” she cried, rushing towards the fallen machine. She knew that she needed to get away, but right now, she wanted to make sure her brother-figure was alright. She worked her way through the dust, narrowly avoiding the blonde man. She clambered into the downed building and found Sid lying in a pile of debris. ”Sid! Sid wake up!” She yelled, shaking him. “T-the Ima-gun. Use it…” He said, pointing to an engine as he passed out. ”Imagun?” she wasn’t sure what to do, but she ran over to the engine and found a hatch to open. Inside, the Imagun was hooked up to wires and pipes, but she yanked it free. “Found something there?” a feminine voice asked from behind her. Nina panicked, and as she turned, fired the gun. The blue haired woman barely managed to dodge the blast from the gun as it sailed high into the air. The woman backhanded Nina, knocking her to the ground. The lavender haired man jumped into the room as well and picked Nina up. “Be careful with her.” The man said as he waved a hand over her face. Nina fought, trying to get out, but soon began feeling very drowsy. As she began to fall asleep, she thought she saw the magical ball she fire turn into a Black Dragon in the sky.
Nina awoke in her room within Basilisk Fang’s current hideout, a cave carved out by Heron, one of the other Dark Guild members. The Fangs were all a very tight knit family, but she was still leery of the guild. She had only joined because her Brother Jace said they should. But since they joined, she found that she’s a wonderful marksman, thanks to Master Acheron’s training and the Imagun, which she had learned to store and summon it at will now. In the seven years she had gotten to know the Fangs very well. Leon, the debilitator, with his long lilac hair and his purple bandana. Lionel and his Beast Form magic. Schroder, a quiet man with red hair that used fire and anger magic. Aria, the Raven Mage, the most beautiful person in the guild with her blue hair. Then Raymond, the hot headed mage with his line magic. So many others in the guild. Each with their own dreams and aspirations. Months passed with training, Master Acheron would have her witness items and events in order to create new Great Alchemic Beasts from the books she read. She wouldn’t let him know, but she enjoyed summoning Cait Sith and Carbuncle just to play with. But Master Acheron hated her using up her magic on weaker beasts. He once had her raze an entire village with Efreet, as practice. Luckily the village was empty. But she remembers screaming from it. On her 15th birthday, Jace bought her Gale Force Reading Glasses, saying that he knows she loves to read. Nina was extremely happy, and hugged Jace for the gift. They had grown closer as siblings over the year, and Jace had seen Nina happy seldom throughout the year. Often she would be with the master, bruised and weak from a hard day of training, she would shed tears when she was forced to destroy towns or attack people. But she remembered none of it. He had finally grown a conscience, with the help of a happy smile from this green haired girl. He couldn’t do it any longer. That night, he went to her room to speak with her. “Nina… You have to leave.” ”What are you talking about?” Nina asked. “You don’t remember what life was like before you joined the guild, do you?” ”W-we were alone on the streets, then Master Acheron-” “No. That’s not it.” Jace said, clenching his fist. He knew if he did this, he would lose his newfound sister. But he couldn’t watch her suffer and be forced to think everything was fine. He reached out a hand and placed it on her head, his hand erupting into purple fire. Strangely, it didn’t hurt Nina. Then, it happened. A Flood of memories, of Sid and her village, of the Basilisk Fangs attacking everyone. But the emotions from those false memories remained. She was horrified by what she had done, and a whirlwind of conflicting emotions washed over her as she realized the people she thought she had known for years had only had her with them for a year. ”What was…?” she said, tears welling in her eyes, panting on the ground from the flare of emotions. “Leon.” Jace said, “The other magic that Acheron gave him. He can manipulate memories, or simply place himself into them.” ”But… My whole life…” “Took about 3 weeks to change. But that doesn’t matter anymore. I need you to run. Get away as far as possible.” ”Why should I trust you…?” She asked, fighting back tears. “I released you from his magic. You know how my Eater Magic works. Now please. I can’t watch him turn you into something you’re not. You’re kind, and sweet, and... “ He fought back his own tears. Seeing the genuine reaction eased up her tension, and she still had the emotions of calling him a brother. Like she thought of... ”Wait! Where’s Sid?” “The blonde inventor? I don’t know. He escaped with the villagers from the town’s destruction.” ”That’s good.” she sighed to herself. ”Thank you. Brother.” The last part seemed out of habit, but she didn’t feel it was wrong either. She couldn’t sit and mope now, but with the help of Jace, the two snuck out and she was able to escape on Ixion. However, the guild captured Jace. She left teary eyed and eventually passed out from her crying, waking up in a tent. A man with a blue sword claimed that his group found her passed out against a tree, and she was covered in dirt and a feather. Nina explained what she was running from, and the group took her in to protect her, and help her find Sid.
Personality: Nina has been very shy and quiet since meeting Alexander, still unsure why her magic is so sought after, and if she can really trust anyone. She does worry for the safety of everyone else since a dark guild wants her, and worries what happened to Jace. Though, she has struck a sort of friendship with Devin, despite his odd nature.

Magic Level: (Perry) B (Elena) A+
History: Perry was born in a large city to a merchant family. His father wanted him to study hard and become a great merchant, so he constantly supplied him with books. Unfortunatley for his father, he began reading books about the old mages and how evil wizards would ruin the balance of the world. So he began studying to become a mage, and found he had an affinity for Light Magic. He believed it to be divine providence, and left his home at 16 buying a suit of armor and hunting down beasts and Dark Wizards. He hadn’t thought about joining a guild at the time, but in a year’s time he would. Rumors pointed him towards a Dark Wizard with a house in the woods. A family came to him claiming that their daughter had been kidnapped, and no one would do anything, especially being too far from a guild to request. Perry quickly rushed into the heart of the forest, and barged into the house. Upon doing so, he surprised the Dark Wizard inside and accidentally caused her spell to fire in the wrong direction, hitting him. He watched as the woman’s body disintegrated after the spell, and assumed that he had been victorious. Perry then returned the child home to her parents, and continued to be a traveling Wizard. However, he noticed that when he slept, he would wake up in other places. At first, he thought perhaps he was simply sleep walking. Until he woke up with a screaming headache, in an alley, wearing a red dress. Confused by what happened and beginning to freak out, he heard a laughing in his head. The Dark Wizard’s spell had caused her to inhabit his body, and she gained control of his body when he slept. Her grasp had been getting stronger, but the two found that as long as Perry didn’t want her to control him while he was awake, she couldn’t. Elena, she introduced herself, did not enjoy the idea any more than he did, but her magic wouldn’t let her hop out again. Apparently, she had been doing this for many years. She lost track of the actual years, but remembers it being over 100. She would transfer into a younger body, take over, and then learn new magic and grow until her beauty left, and would do it again. All so that she could one day learn all magic, and pass down magic if it became “Lost”. This love of magic comes from her mother, who used to be in a guild and save the day for her daughter. So, the two now journey to find a way to separate from each other. Perry often has to take random jobs to pay for food, since Elena spends all the money on things while he sleeps. Though, sometimes he is pleasantly surprised by a random piece of magical armor she bought.
Personality: (Perry) Perry has a strong sense of Justice, and is always willing to help someone in need. Though he is a little shy about asking if people need help, feeling it is rude, and usually doesn’t wait for people to ask him for help, unless he hears about it elsewhere, like on a public board. He has some trouble with getting to know people, mostly because he is afraid that people won’t believe his story and accuse him of being a cross dresser when Elena turns him into a girl at night. He also is very picky about his hair color. (Elena) Elena is obsessed with Beauty and Youth, to the point that she developed a new version of the Take Over magic. When she is in a suitably young body, she will become a friendly, fun loving, gambling, drinking, whirling dervish of a girl. Once she hits the Age of 20 with her body, she will begin becoming very studious in order to learn a new kind of magic to bring with her to the next young body she finds.
Team Members: None yet.
Three Strengths: (Perry) -A strong Sense of Justice. -Great at keeping secrets. -Intelligent and Strong. (Elena) -Clever and Cunning. Some may even say manipulative. -Always repays a debt. Even if it is late. -Agile and skilled magician.
Three Weaknesses: (Perry) -If his hair color gets changed,(be it magical, or powder, or charcoal, etc.) he will become remiss until he manages to get it back to its original color. -Law Abiding to a fault. If he is pursuing someone and a sign tells him to stop and look both ways, he will. -Constantly Tired because he will try and stay up way too late to keep Elena from doing weird stuff with his body. (Elena) -Too carefree and playful. An elongated life of youth and luxury can do that to a person. -Angers easily when her beauty or youth is brought into question. -Hates to be in uncomfortably hot weather, and would prefer the cold anyday.
Greatest Love: (Perry) New Magical Armor. (Elena) Money. Motivation: Perry wishes to become a well known and respected Mage, known for saving the world from Dark Wizards. Also to get his body back. Elena wants to learn all the magic in the world, but can’t in a single lifetime. So she delved into forbidden magic to stay young and beautiful.

Xing’s Celestial Magic is based on Talismans that have to be written on paper, though in a pinch, a substitute can be used such as clothing, rocks, or any flat surface though not recommended. When a Talisman is used to summon one of the five Greater Celestial Spirit, the talisman will have other things happen to it. When summoning Suzaku, the Talisman is turned to Ash. When summoning Seiryu, the talisman is turned into a leaf. When summoning Byakko, the talisman is turned into a sheet of metal. When summoning Genbu, the talisman turns into water. When summoning Kohryu, the talisman is turned to dust. To summon the greater celestial spirits, 7 talismans, one of each star, must be used in the summoning. If a talisman is missing or a duplicate, it will not work. If enough space is on the Talisman, the 7 symbols can be used on one talisman.

Magic Level: B
History: Xing grew up in a noble family to the far east, where Humans and Celestial Spirits are closely bonded together. It is the goal of all families to prove themselves worthy of one day becoming Celestial Spirits themselves, and if they cannot, they believe that they are reincarnated to one day prove their worth. Xing’s family, the Guan Family, are descendants of Guan Yu, who was allowed to become a Celestial Spirit Millenia ago, representing War. Because of this, the Xing family line has been dedicated to making strong men and women to become retainers of Guan Yu himself. Xing and her family lived in a large complex where the immediate family could live, Thirteen Elders, each with Ten Children of their own who have birthed many for the next generation. Because of the size of the family and their servants, Xing often felt that the complex was a town of its own. Xing and her siblings and cousins were taught tactics, hand to hand combat, weaponry, marksmanship, history, religion towards the celestial realm, the complexity of honor, and the ways of the world. Xing was known for being an amazing martial artist, best in the family, but she never seemed to have the same eagerness as the other children. That’s because while Xing enjoys a good fight, she had another calling, one that she knew her family would disown her for. She wished to be a cook. Food was something she loved, each dish being crafted in different ways to suit the ingredients, creating an elegant blend of flavor and texture. She often stayed near the kitchens and watched the servants cook, even bringing them cookbooks and spices with her allowance asking only to be taught how to make the food that they did during her free time, she began learning, and quickly picked up the skills. By fourteen, she was already able to cook side by side with the head chef of the complex, who was quite skilled at his job, being renowned in the East. The new year arrived, and the family was greeted by five guests and their entourage, who proclaimed that they would be celebrating with the Guan family. The Elders gathered, hesitant to oblige, but eventually did so after being assured the group was unarmed and had no intention of bringing harm to the complex. As the night went on, the increased amount of guests, not to mention friends of the family celebrating with them as well, had the kitchen in a stir. Xing forced her way into the kitchen to help, creating the meals for the Five Guests herself while the rest of the servants worked tirelessly to continue making meals. Xing, served the food to the guests, and when confronted by her father, claimed the head chef had made it for them. When the head of the five guests bit into his food, he paused and made a demand to know who had cooked the food. Thinking the guest angry, and wanting to save face, the Head Chef was brought to the guest. The man sniffed the Head Chef, a bulky man, and said that it was not him that cooked it. Xing’s father tried to press that the Head Chef was the only one that would have made the dishes for the guests. The guest began sniffing the air and went to Xing. “It is you! You are the one who cooked my food!” he proclaimed. There was a tension in the air as he stared at the girl. Suddenly a wide smile broke across his face. “If you can cook mortal food that well, imagine what a Celestial Meal would taste like. I’d be proud to make you my wife!” The man proclaimed. “S-sir, she’s only fourteen, and besides that, we haven’t even been graced with your family name. You only call yourself Ko.” “Shame. Then I shall return for her hand on her eighteenth birthday. Congratulations Mr. Xing. Your daughter is now betrothed to the Yellow Emperor, Kohryu.” With that, the guest became an Earth Dragon in order to prove his validity. Struck with honor the family began bowing, except for Xing. She didn’t want to be married into the Celestial Court, she wanted to prove herself, to be called by her ancestor Guan Yu. “Wait. Who said I wanted to marry you? What about my feelings?” She asked them. The family were shocked to say the least, but Kohryu laughed. “Feisty too! Just like her cooking. I am the Yellow Emperor, son of the Jade Emperor. What I say is law to mortals.” Xing was upset, and began to argue further, but was cut off by her Father’s Promises of marriage and upbringing. “Good. I expect her to be the best chef in your world when I return.” Kohryu said returning to his human form. The guests then summoned a gate and left through it. The next few years were filled with Xing learning Celestial Magic, a family magic, and she got her wish to learn how to cook. She picked up Celestial Magic very quickly, with her learning the 28 characters needed for each Talisman of Writ within the first year. During the Second year of training, she was allowed to learn the Talismans to enter the celestial realms to make contracts with the five guardians, as the family didn’t think it necessary for the future wife of Koryu to be summoning standard spirits like the rest of the family. During her visit, Xing found out that Xuanwu, the Genbu, had moved to the upper courts, giving his retainers She and Wugui, a shared mantle. She then made contracts with each. For every summoning of Seiryu she would plant a Tree. For every summoning of Suzaku, she would have to compliment him. For every summoning of Byakko, the two would set a spar date. For every summoning of Kohryu, she would prepare him 1 bowl of food. The Genbu, She and Wugui, were just happy to get out of the celestial realm for a bit. After her visit, and getting to speak with each of them, she became good friends with them, but was still leery of Kohryu. She felt like he was so stuck up because he was the Jade Emperor’s son. She didn’t belong to him, and wanted out of the marriage. Trying to find a way out of being forced to marry, but getting to learn more cooking techniques, she came up with a plan. Kohryu wanted her to become the best chef in the world, right? How would she know without getting to travel the world and see how her cooking stacks up to others. Coming forward to her father with this plan, she was allowed to leave the complex and journey to the West.
Since being told that she was on par with the Head Chef, Xing had wanted to travel the world to let others taste her food, something she was proud of. Now, she had that chance. But maybe she should settle down somewhere to spread word of her cooking skills before traveling willy nilly. Maybe at one of those Guilds in the West she had been told about in class.
Personality: Xing takes exceptional pride in her fighting abilities, as well as her cooking skills. And although she is always accepting of a fight, she is able to stay cool, calm, and collected, unless she knows that the person will be a good challenge. She is very clever and kind, and also known to be hyper when she sees people enjoying her food.
Seiryu is rather shy and reserved. She has a fondness for plantlife and vegetables finding Radishes cute. Seiryu would rather talk down a confrontation than to have to fight, and when forced to fight, would rather immobilize than actually harm or kill. However, if you disrespect nature around her, she will be thrown into a rage that stems from millenia of watching humans destroy nature.
Suzaku is extremely vain and loves to primp and preen. He is very jealous of Kohryu for “snagging” Xing, and is extremely witty in all of his banter. While he is willing to fight, he’d rather not be forced to work up a sweat, as it may wrinkle his regalia. He has a disdain for anything he considers ugly, and takes immense offense at being injured as it may leave a scar on his beautiful exterior.
Byakko is a party girl, and always ready to fight. And to party. She has a soft spot for all things cute and cuddly and loves cats and exceeds. She is also easily distracted by balls of yarn, usually having to have her attention brought back from it. She also has a habit of playing with her opponents,often setting up traps and slowly whittling them down as seen in her Magic, leaving caltrops and other traps then going in for the kill when they are weakened.
She is a very mischievous spirit that is always willing to have fun. She has a bad habit of making Puns and Plays on words, and often goes out of her way to prank others when given the chance. She also is very impatient, and dislikes long arduous fights, so she will often go in for the kill as quickly as possible, or try and poison her opponents so she doesn’t have to deal with them.
Wugui is also very mischievous, but when it comes to his duties as Genbu, he is very formal and tries his best to remain composed. Much of his mischief is considered a Long Con, and he prefers to take things slowly and as they come. However, he will take advantage of an opportunity, and strike, be it for food, an attack, or a prank. He is the more mature of the Genbu Representatives.
Kohryu is very snobbish and often considers others trivial, except for Xing. If Xing should be hurt, he will gain a murderous intent. Aside from this, he is a womanizer, and hates fighting women, so he will attempt to woo them to his side. In any battle, he prefers to get the job done with as minimal effort as possible, but also with enough force that he won’t have to try again. He is also very privileged, and finds it amusing that anyone would challenge him.

Name: Alexander Zauber Age: 19 Magic: Channel Magic, Lacrima Magic
Attacks
Channel: Absorption - Not a true attack, more of a passive ability. The Lacrima within Alexander’s chest resonates and absorbs some, if not all of the magic that comes in contact with his chest. The Lacrima can contain numerous different kinds of magic, but does have a finite limit on the amount of magical energy it can hold. When Alex uses magic, it drains from the Lacrima.
Channel: Blade Beam - By channeling some of the magic energy stored inside of his Lacrima, he can empower his already powerful sword with magic, allowing him to launch projectiles and energy blades. These can be elemental as well. -Magic Blade Beam: projectiles are launched from the blade that can pierce and slice. -Fire Blade Beam: launches fireballs and blades of flame. These can explode on impact. -Ice Blade Beam: launches icicles from the sword. -Wind Blade Beam: invisible slicing winds and gusts are launched from the sword. -Water Blade Beam: Streams of water and globes are launched from the blade. The globes can be guided and persist. He has used this technique to drown victims. -Earth Blade Beam: Rocks are launched from the blade, and pillars of earth can be raised by it. -Lightning Blade Beam: Launches blasts of electricity from the blade and call down lightning bolts. -Light Blade Beam: Arrows and blades of light are shot from the blade. -Dark Blade Beam: Arrows and blades of Darkness are shot from the blade. -Adaptive Blade Beam: Depends on the magic that Alexander absorbs.
Channel: Enhancement - By channeling the various magical energies trapped in his Lacrima through his sword he can enhance the blade with various elements and effects. -Magic Enhance: the sword is covered in energy, making it more powerful. - Fire Enhance: the blade is covered in flames. He can mix the blade beam and enhance to place a mine of magical energy that explodes either on contact or when he chooses. -Ice Enhance: the blade is covered in a layer of ice and freezes anything it touches. -Wind Enhance: the blade is covered in an aura of wind, allowing a missed slice to still cut and a wide swing to blow away the opponent. -Earth Blade: The blade is covered in a layer of rock, allowing it to cause blunt damage and increase its weight. However, it does lose its cutting edge. -Lightning Blade Beam: Electrifies the blade. -Light Blade: Blade is covered in light, acting as a light source and enhancing its strength. Can be used to cause a bright flash to blind opponents. -Dark Blade: The blade is covered in blackness that eats the light just around it and enhances its strength. -Adaptive Blade: Depends on the magic that Alexander absorbs.
Channel: Armor - By channeling magic through his body, Alexander can coat himself in magical energy that helps absorb and block damage he cannot absorb.
Channel: Vampire - Every successful strike with his blade that draws blood steals a little bit of the target’s magical energy. This energy is channeled through Alexander’s veins and into his Lacrima.
Magic Level: A+
History: Alexander was born into a very loving family of his mother and father, shortly after, his sister was born as well. His father was a Magical Researcher and thanks to grant by the Magic Council, Alexander’s family never had to worry about money. His father’s research was to find a way to make magic easy and accessible to all people, without using a magical item. Alexander was in awe of his father’s research because he was one of many that were incapable of naturally using Magic. He would often watch his father work, unable to make out what was being written and said. Eventually though, his father began to hit a wall with his studies. It seemed that there wasn’t any specific way to determine if a person could use magic other than comprehension and being attuned to the flow of magic. He began searching for various materials and items to try and find any way to fix this problem. Eventually the funding was pulled on his research. The family had thought ahead and saved quite a large sum of Jewels beforehand, but Alexander’s father was distraught. He began spending more and more time in his basement lab, funding the research himself, and asking that Alexander not come in. On Alexander’s 11th birthday, his father approached him and asked if he wanted to be able to use magic. Of course, he jumped at the chance to be able to and said yes. His father took him to the lab where he was shown a glowing blue sword, created from the fang of a crystal dragon, and a large lacrima. His father told him that by linking the Lacrima with his spirit, and using the natural channeling abilities of the sword, Alexander would be able to finally access magic. Alexander was excited and moved to pick up the sword, exclaiming happily before being sedated by his father. When he awoke, the lab was filled with smoke and he quickly arose from a table and found the lacrima infused into his body, partly revealed through his chest. He grabbed the sword and exited the basement lab, stumbling. His eyes took a minute to adjust, and he was greeted with his home set ablaze. On the ground outside was his father, bleeding and dieing. His father was happy to see the concealment spell worked. But before he died, his father told him that someone in the Magical Council didn’t like that he had continued his research after they pulled his funding. So they sent a group of mages to kill him and destroy the research. He began questioning his father, Where was Mom and Lilian, his sister? Who was it that did this? What should he do? His father’s last words were, “Those mages had lost magic. No one deserves that much power.” At that time, a man jumped from the shadows and attempted to burn through Alexander, but he turned and the Lacrima absorbed the flames from the man. His Lacrima glowed brightly and he could feel a rush of power. The mage continued his attack, but each fireball disappeared into the Lacrima. With a tackle and stab, the mage was slain, his magic flowing into Alexander. He stood, knowing what he had to do. Leaving the house he found a small scrap of paper, still safe from the fire in his father's hand and he began a search for clues to the Mages that had done this, and to find out who on the Magic Council could have order his father’s assassination. Alexander learned from reading his father’s notes, that the Lacrima in his chest was special compared to others. It could adapt. It would absorb so much energy before expelling an excess amount, expanding the total amount that it could take in. During his travels, he had been attacked by many mages, bandits, bandit mages, and found a couple of the mages under the employ of the Council Member. He even was challenged by an inexperienced mage claiming to be an evil wizard hunter and paladin. During the fight however, he absorbed one of the mages attacks and a large explosion occurred, knocking him away and out. When he awoke, he found himself inside of a small cottage with a woman making soup for him. She bore a resemblance to his sister, but when he asked her, she claimed to have no brother and that her mother and father were still alive. He was nursed back to health by the woman, revealing herself to be a mage with Weight Magic named Alvina. She asked him why he had been fighting that boy, and why Alexander had a Lacrima in his chest, and he explained his story. Alvina decided that she wanted to help the man in his quest for vengeance, to make up for some trouble making she had been recently doing. He didn’t care, as long as she wasn’t one of the Mages that attacked, or got in his way. So the two set off on their journey, gathering a small posse of other mages with them. Including Tristan the Exceed Blacksmith of Justice, Devin the shadow puppeteer, and Nina the narration mage.
Personality: Alexander is a very serious person that is focused on his revenge. Unless he is searching for clues or speaking with others in his group, he is normally very quiet. He finds any opponent that isn’t possibly part of his family’s killers an annoyance. He is also ready for a fight at any moment, having had to hone his awareness over the years.
Team Members: Alvina Tristan Devin Nina
Three Strengths: Alexander is unaffected by C rank magic directed at his chest due to his Lacrima. Other magics have a portion of their power siphoned off to fuel his Lacrima, allowing him access to that magic element as well. Alexander has trained for 8 years with the sword in an unorthodox manner, making him unpredictable when in a fight yet still a highly skilled swordsman. Has become a great survivalist over the years, having to hunt, cook, build shelter, and learn first aid with berries, roots and leaves
Three Weaknesses: Without his Sword, Alexander's channeling abilities are dampened and his hand to hand combat skills are lacking. He can become so fixated on his goal of revenge that he loses himself in a haze of anger. His magic has a limit, and if his Lacrima were to be severely damaged, he may lose his Magic all together. It also doesn't protect from behind.
Greatest Love: His sister, Liliian. She had always been so happy and content without magic, and so trusting with the world. Of course, last time he saw her was 8 years ago when she was 10
Motivation: Revenge.
Appearance: Alexander is a white haired individual standing at 6’ even. His skin is lightly tanned from having spent a large portion of his life traveling on the road and his eyes are a crystal blue. Alexander has an athletic build with part of a lacrima exposed in his chest. His hair is a grayish white hue, kept in a long spiky unkempt look that goes down his back. He wears black pants and an open black shirt, revealing part of his chest. He wears silver cauldrons, gauntlets, and grieves that he keeps great care of. Strapped to his back is the Blue Great Sword his father left him. This sword, while claimed to be forged from a dragon fang, is actually made of a mixture of Lacrima and Stellanium, the metal keeping the lacrima inside it from breaking. This allows it to become a natural conductor for magical energy, both entering and exiting the blade.
Name: Alivna Luft Age: 17 Magic: Weight Magic
Attacks
Weight Magic: Weight Swap - by touching a living being, Alvina can swap the amount of weight and body fat currently on her with them. Muscle Mass is also traded in the exchange. The amount of weight/muscle swapped does not have to be an equal amount.
Weight Magic: Increase - Alvina can increase the weight of any object or person she touches, including herself, to immense proportions without harming the structure of the person or object, such as making a feather as heavy as 10 tons. This effect is only in effect while she has hold of that person or object.
Weight Magic: Decrease - Alvina can decrease the weight of any object or person she touches, including herself, to miniscule proportions, such as reducing the weight of a boulder to a feather. Unlike her Increase magic, this can continue for as long as she makes eye contact with the object. The further away the object is, the more magic is needed to keep its weight down. Armor can also decrease the effect of her magic, as she can’t reach the body properly with her eyesight.
Magic Level: B
History: Alvina had always been a large child and retained most of that weight as she got older. However, because of her large size she often was teased and bullied. She was often upset about this, but her mother, Aeris, would always console her, saying that she would grow out of it, and if not, she could always work at it to lose the weight. She loved her mother, but was also jealous of her, was gifted with Muscle Magic and able to enhance her own body and lose her body fat. Her Mother tried to teach her how to use the magic, but Alvina just couldn’t master it. Until one day in high school she was particularly badly bullied, and one of the bullying girls went to strike her, saying “Moo, Cow! Moo!” Angry, Alvina grabbed the girl’s wrist, “How would you like it? To be called a cow! So big you couldn’t lose the weight! To be so uncoordinated because of it!?” as she spoke, the assailant began swapping her body type with Alvina’s. “How about you moo instead?” She said, knocking the now much larger girl over. She had unlocked her magic, and the years of repressed anger turned to hatred. She tried it again on one of the other bullies, but only made it harder for the girl to move. She began testing her magic on the trio of bullies, and found that she could alter Weight and trade body fat both partly and completely. In her quest for revenge, she found a couple of cows and took their weight, exchanging it with the other bullies. They begged her for their old weight back, but she said that they would have to suffer for as long as she had. Eventually, word got back to the parents about what happened, and they brought it to the attention of Aeris. Aeris had a stern talk with Alvina, telling her never to use her magic on her classmates again. She agreed, sulking as she returned the other girl's weights. Aeris assured the mothers that this would never happen again and they left, but not before calling Alvina a dirty pig girl that should stay away from their children. Aeris became quiet for the rest of the night. Alvina couldn't stand it. After all that, her mother wouldn't console her or even defend her against the words of the bully’s parents. She became mad and upset. That night she snuck into her mother's room, having used a spell to make her light as a feather, and gave her mother her body type. After doing so however, she was ashamed that she would do that to her own mother and went to exchange them back again, but her mother woke up and looked infuriated. Crying, Alvina rushed out of the home and ran away, too ashamed to return. After running away, she found an abandoned house in the woods with a large stocked pantry. She began to feel depressed, and turned to food for comfort. She loved sweets especially, and quickly her weight returned. She went into a nearby village and, penniless, asked for more food. No one believed that she could be hungry with how large she was, and so she began making the villagers fatter. She threatened them all to become her size if they don't hear her demands. The village obliged for a few weeks, but began to run low on food. Alvina demanded they send 1 person each day they couldn't get her food, and the person returned enlarged. The village was terrified of this, and quickly gained money to hire a Mage, but none of the guilds took the mission. Eventually, a traveling mage took the mission, and Alvina fought him in front of her new house. The mage wore a full suit of armor and launched beams of light at Alvina. Not wanting to fight she surrendered quickly and agreed to turn everyone back to their normal weight. The mage took the money but left Alvina half, seeing that she was penniless. He left saying that “If you work hard enough, that weight will disappear. It may not be immediate, but if you work hard, keep pushing, you'll get in shape.” Now that she had money, she didn't have to threaten the village to get food. However, she became determined to lose the weight, and began working as hard as she could, even increasing her weight to help lose more. She managed to lose 100 lbs before being approached by a farmer with 3 sows that he wanted her to swap weight with so he could win a county prize. She didn't like the thought of him cheating, but was talked into it when he said, “Think of it as penance for your transgressions.” So she lost the rest of her weight, ending at a reasonable 110 lbs, began eating healthily, and vowed not to ever take the easy way out again A few weeks later she found a man passed out along the path she normally took to the village. Worried about him, she lightened him and his sword and took them to her home. She nursed him as well as she could over the next three days, cooking soup to feed him. Eventually he did awake, and she asked what happened. He explained that he fought with a familiar mage, she asked why, and he explained his story to her. The story grew a fire in her stomach. Believing that this man was a sign from above for redemption. She decided to assist the man on his journey, vowing to help in any way he can. The man agreed as long as she stayed out of his way.
Personality: Alvina is a very quiet and shy person by nature, but has issues when her being overweight comes up. She used to be very quiet but now flies into a rage about it. When she gets upset she seeks out food, especially sweets. However, she does have a heart that wants to do good though. She often feels guilty about the ill will she had placed upon people. Except the bullies. They deserved that.
Team Members: Alexander Tristan Devin Nina
Three Strengths: Nothing is too heavy for her to lift thanks to her magic. She can alter her weight and body type. This can allow her to walk incredibly softly. She is fairly clever and well read.
Three Weaknesses: She loses her temper when the subject of her weight comes up. She obsesses over her weight, and will jump at the chance to alter her weight. Sweets. When there are sweets involved she will find any way to get them. This can cause her to gain a lot of weight quickly.

Bounce Magic: Bounce Body - by using this magic on a target (himself, item, another person) he fires a beam that can give the target’s body a rubber-like quality. Physical strikes no longer affect the target for a period of time, bouncing back the attack. This can also be used to gain incredible distance when a person runs or jumps, causing them to bound with each step. I’m Rubber! You’re Glue! - After sticking an opponent to the ground, Tristan rubberizes his spear and body. He then polevaults himself into the opponent, using the spear to rebound and continue the attack until they are incapacitated, or he runs out of Rubber magic.

Magic Level: C
History: Tristan’s life began when he was dropped onto a frying pan, his egg being mistaken for food by a very hungry old blacksmith. The man was as surprised by Tristan, being a green flying cat. The old man, laughed and apologized to the cat, grabbing a saucer of milk and some fish he had caught that morning. Tristan began eating and exclaimed how good the food was. The man nearly had a heart attack when he heard the cat begin speaking. But he quickly calmed down, and asked the strange creature if it had a name. When it explained that it didn't know, the old man decided to name him Tristan, after a gallant hero from a story book he used to read his children. Having named the cat, the blacksmith treated the young exceed as if it were his own son, teaching him basic math, how to read, how to smith magical items, and magic. The blacksmith used his magic to protect himself while making his wares, having become frail in his advancing years. Having to continue making items and not wanting his new cat child harmed, he taught him Bounce Magic. Tristan helped the blacksmith with items, and eventually, was asked if he wanted to make the items by himself. He happily agreed, wanting to prove himself to his adoptive father. However, the man wanted to test Tristan first. He showed Tristan a book that spoke of a legendary blacksmith known as Musica. Pointing to one of the items, a spear, he asked for Tristan to try and recreate it, But also give it his own flair. After a week, he did it. Tristan had managed to create a magical spear, White Ray. It was small and able to secrete a sticky substance. Through a small bit of magic smithing, he made it able to grow to appropriate size based on its wielder. The old man was proud, and told Tristan that the experience was to be a parting gift. The Blacksmith was dying, but didn’t let Tristan know. Handing him a small pouch of gold and the story book, he asked Tristan to fulfill his dreams for him. “Tristan. I've taught you everything I know. But I'm too old for my dream now. I want you to make it true for me. Travel the world as Musica once did, smithing the greatest of weapons and armor, and make a mark in history.” Tristan saluted, tears in his eyes, knowing what the man wanted to tell him, and replied, “On my honor.” a phrase from the story book they had read so often. One year later, Tristan had already forged a few magical weapons and armor, selling some, and placing others around the world in spots he thought looked magical. He would always mark them with a magic stamp; an image of a horse with a cat on it's back. He has kept the White Ray with him, using it for self defense, and occasionally to to catch dinner for himself when he wasn’t near a town. Tristan would seek out other magical items to find inspiration for his work, and word caught his ear of a swordsman wielding a blue sword. Tracking word of the man with a blue sword, he found him walking through a forest just outside of a village.. Upon stopping to ask about the sword, the man attacked Tristan. However, during the fight, Tristan just bounced around avoiding the fight, asking about the sword. The man believed that Tristan wanted to know because he was working for the mysterious magic council person that killed his father for this Dragon Fang sword and Special Lacrima. Tristan, skilled enough to tell what the blade was made from by having been so close to it, told the man it was actually made from some Stellanium-Lacrima hybrid. The man didn’t believe him, and went to swing again, but found a hand on his sword suddenly causing it to fall to the ground, imprinting in the ground. A woman had saved Tristan, chastising the man for nearly killing the “adorable flying kitty cat.” Tristan was grateful for the woman’s assistance, and after a small talk, he found out that the two were on a quest to avenge the man’s father. Tristan, owing the woman a life debt, decided to go with the two. Besides, he may run into some awesome magic items on that journey. The two introduced themselves as Alexander and Alvina. Tristan asked if they were a couple, prompting a punch from Alexander.
Personality: Tristan tends to act like a gallant knight, especially around women. Though he turns into a fanboy when it comes to magic items. Tristan also tends to be childish when he warms up to people, often joking around and poking fun at them.
Team Members: Alexander Alvina Devin Nina
Three Strengths: Can tell what a weapon or piece of armor is made of by look. Bounce Magic allows him to protect himself and his allies. Aera and transformation magic allow him to fly and give him a human form.
Three Weaknesses: Becomes too enthralled over new magical items. His small size and body strength do not allow him to do much in the way of physical tasks. He follows a code of knight like honor to a fault, even following a life debt that puts him in association of a very dangerous man.
Greatest Love: Magical Items

Appearance: As an Exceed, Tristan has smooth features, green fur, a bushy tail, and three cowlicks for his hair style. On his back he wears a light blue backpack to carry his items when he needs.

Perry sat at his table, sipping some tea calmly. Hidden by his calm demeanor, he was annoyed. He had heard rumor of another mage that could possibly help him and Elena finally be free of each other. However, the mage's skills were greatly exaggerated. Having left empty handed, he had returned once more to Magnolia. "So Percy. You going back to the guild or what?" Perry flinched slightly when Elena said his nickname incorrectly. "Yes, I was on my way. It's just..." he began, slowly moving his head towards the sky. "I'm not sure anymore. If you and I will ever be rid of each other. If we're really doing as much good as we can through guild work." "Ah, missing the old days, huh? Traveling around and defeating monsters and dark mages like me?" Perry couldn't deny, it did leave him with a sense of dread. A pit in his stomach that he wanted to fill. "There's so much going on in the world all the time. I wanted to be the hero to stop the bad guys, like in my story books. But here at the guild, not only are there so many mages that are stronger than myself, but we're also stuck to this town, waiting for people to request our assistance." Perry didn't want to admit it either, but he didn't feel like a true part of the guild yet. Sure he'd been there for two years, but he still hadn't told the others his secret, aside from Ariel. He thought she'd be able to help as well, but sadly it was for naught. "Look Perry, Elena said, feeling more awkward than normal. "I think that your looking into this far too much. You're doing great at the guild! You've done a ton of jobs, helped so many people, why are you fussing now?" The two sat in silence for a moment, Perry thinking on why his thoughts were brimming to the surface now. "I'm just- The guild- I- They-" He stammered trying to find the right words. "They're all so great?" Elena asked in a knowing tone, "Look, I get it. If I were still a Dark Mage, I'd be pretty worried they'd be called on me too. But the point is, they're trying to welcome you into the family, and you're just being a mope in a corner. Perry felt his body rise up and begin moving as Elena took control. "We aren't going to sit around and mope and be anti-social anymore, alright?" Perry wanted to argue, but he was cut off abruptly. "Uh bup bup. No ifs, ands, or buts. Now, I'm gonna take the reins and head to the Guild, we're gonna try and learn from them if you want to be a better mage. Perry was bewildered. Why had he never thought to learn and train with them? He had always seen it as just a way to get some Jewels and place to operate from while trying to free himself from this curse. His Light Make would only get him so far after all. If he truly wanted to be an exceptional hero Mage, he'd have to work at it. "Too bad I can't just walk in there as me without explanation. It's always so awkward walking around in your body." She said as she made her way back to the guild.
Xing Guan, Celestial Mage
Location: On the road to Magnolia from Crocus
A large Ox trod slowly upon the road, a talisman attached to it's face, though the creature didn't seem to mind it. On the cart, a young pink haired girl sat counting her Jewel that she had made. For the past week she had been in Crocus allowing people to enjoy her food, and testing her mettle against any other chefs in the area. After besting all the well known chefs, she left for Magnolia, the next town on her world wide journey. "I wonder what sorts of food they'll have in Magnolia. Maybe some better chefs than Crocus. Those people wouldn't no a Beef Croquette from a Charcoal Briquette!" She laughed to herself. The Ox seemed to chuckle as well, a slow oscillating low. The two laughed for a little bit, but soon Xing's laughing stopped. She began placing her Jewel into a small bag and then dropped the bag into a talisman in her hand, which seemed to absorb it. "Though... I wonder what would happen if I found a rival cook. Someone better than me." She said slightly worried about the prospect. "I guess I'll just have to learn from them. Wait... Would that mean I wouldn't have to marry Kohryu even longer?" The Ox let out a low and motioned itself towards the town as they approached. "Oh! There it is! Magnolia!"

Magic Level: (Perry) B (Elena) A+
History: Perry was born in a large city to a merchant family. His father wanted him to study hard and become a great merchant, so he constantly supplied him with books. Unfortunatley for his father, he began reading books about the old mages and how evil wizards would ruin the balance of the world. So he began studying to become a mage, and found he had an affinity for Light Magic. He believed it to be divine providence, and left his home at 16 buying a suit of armor and hunting down beasts and Dark Wizards. He hadn’t thought about joining a guild at the time, but in a year’s time he would. Rumors pointed him towards a Dark Wizard with a house in the woods. A family came to him claiming that their daughter had been kidnapped, and no one would do anything, especially being too far from a guild to request. Perry quickly rushed into the heart of the forest, and barged into the house. Upon doing so, he surprised the Dark Wizard inside and accidentally caused her spell to fire in the wrong direction, hitting him. He watched as the woman’s body disintegrated after the spell, and assumed that he had been victorious. Perry then returned the child home to her parents, and continued to be a traveling Wizard. However, he noticed that when he slept, he would wake up in other places. At first, he thought perhaps he was simply sleep walking. Until he woke up with a screaming headache, in an alley, wearing a red dress. Confused by what happened and beginning to freak out, he heard a laughing in his head. The Dark Wizard’s spell had caused her to inhabit his body, and she gained control of his body when he slept. Her grasp had been getting stronger, but the two found that as long as Perry didn’t want her to control him while he was awake, she couldn’t. Elena, she introduced herself, did not enjoy the idea any more than he did, but her magic wouldn’t let her hop out again. Apparently, she had been doing this for many years. She lost track of the actual years, but remembers it being over 100. She would transfer into a younger body, take over, and then learn new magic and grow until her beauty left, and would do it again. All so that she could one day learn all magic, and pass down magic if it became “Lost”. This love of magic comes from her mother, who used to be in a guild and save the day for her daughter. So, the two now journey to find a way to separate from each other. Perry often has to take random jobs to pay for food, since Elena spends all the money on things while he sleeps. Though, sometimes he is pleasantly surprised by a random piece of magical armor she bought.
Personality: (Perry) Perry has a strong sense of Justice, and is always willing to help someone in need. Though he is a little shy about asking if people need help, feeling it is rude, and usually doesn’t wait for people to ask him for help, unless he hears about it elsewhere, like on a public board. He has some trouble with getting to know people, mostly because he is afraid that people won’t believe his story and accuse him of being a cross dresser when Elena turns him into a girl at night. He also is very picky about his hair color. (Elena) Elena is obsessed with Beauty and Youth, to the point that she developed a new version of the Take Over magic. When she is in a suitably young body, she will become a friendly, fun loving, gambling, drinking, whirling dervish of a girl. Once she hits the Age of 20 with her body, she will begin becoming very studious in order to learn a new kind of magic to bring with her to the next young body she finds.
Team Members: None yet.
Three Strengths: (Perry) -A strong Sense of Justice. -Great at keeping secrets. -Intelligent and Strong. (Elena) -Clever and Cunning. Some may even say manipulative. -Always repays a debt. Even if it is late. -Agile and skilled magician.
Three Weaknesses: (Perry) -If his hair color gets changed,(be it magical, or powder, or charcoal, etc.) he will become remiss until he manages to get it back to its original color. -Law Abiding to a fault. If he is pursuing someone and a sign tells him to stop and look both ways, he will. -Constantly Tired because he will try and stay up way too late to keep Elena from doing weird stuff with his body. (Elena) -Too carefree and playful. An elongated life of youth and luxury can do that to a person. -Angers easily when her beauty or youth is brought into question. -Hates to be in uncomfortably hot weather, and would prefer the cold anyday.
Greatest Love: (Perry) New Magical Armor. (Elena) Money. Motivation: Perry wishes to become a well known and respected Mage, known for saving the world from Dark Wizards. Also to get his body back. Elena wants to learn all the magic in the world, but can’t in a single lifetime. So she delved into forbidden magic to stay young and beautiful.

Magic Level: B
History: Xing grew up in a noble family to the far east, where Humans and Celestial Spirits are closely bonded together. It is the goal of all families to prove themselves worthy of one day becoming Celestial Spirits themselves, and if they cannot, they believe that they are reincarnated to one day prove their worth. Xing’s family, the Guan Family, are descendants of Guan Yu, who was allowed to become a Celestial Spirit Millenia ago, representing War. Because of this, the Xing family line has been dedicated to making strong men and women to become retainers of Guan Yu himself. Xing and her family lived in a large complex where the immediate family could live, Thirteen Elders, each with Ten Children of their own who have birthed many for the next generation. Because of the size of the family and their servants, Xing often felt that the complex was a town of its own. Xing and her siblings and cousins were taught tactics, hand to hand combat, weaponry, marksmanship, history, religion towards the celestial realm, the complexity of honor, and the ways of the world. Xing was known for being an amazing martial artist, best in the family, but she never seemed to have the same eagerness as the other children. That’s because while Xing enjoys a good fight, she had another calling, one that she knew her family would disown her for. She wished to be a cook. Food was something she loved, each dish being crafted in different ways to suit the ingredients, creating an elegant blend of flavor and texture. She often stayed near the kitchens and watched the servants cook, even bringing them cookbooks and spices with her allowance asking only to be taught how to make the food that they did during her free time, she began learning, and quickly picked up the skills. By fourteen, she was already able to cook side by side with the head chef of the complex, who was quite skilled at his job, being renowned in the East. The new year arrived, and the family was greeted by five guests and their entourage, who proclaimed that they would be celebrating with the Guan family. The Elders gathered, hesitant to oblige, but eventually did so after being assured the group was unarmed and had no intention of bringing harm to the complex. As the night went on, the increased amount of guests, not to mention friends of the family celebrating with them as well, had the kitchen in a stir. Xing forced her way into the kitchen to help, creating the meals for the Five Guests herself while the rest of the servants worked tirelessly to continue making meals. Xing, served the food to the guests, and when confronted by her father, claimed the head chef had made it for them. When the head of the five guests bit into his food, he paused and made a demand to know who had cooked the food. Thinking the guest angry, and wanting to save face, the Head Chef was brought to the guest. The man sniffed the Head Chef, a bulky man, and said that it was not him that cooked it. Xing’s father tried to press that the Head Chef was the only one that would have made the dishes for the guests. The guest began sniffing the air and went to Xing. “It is you! You are the one who cooked my food!” he proclaimed. There was a tension in the air as he stared at the girl. Suddenly a wide smile broke across his face. “If you can cook mortal food that well, imagine what a Celestial Meal would taste like. I’d be proud to make you my wife!” The man proclaimed. “S-sir, she’s only fourteen, and besides that, we haven’t even been graced with your family name. You only call yourself Ko.” “Shame. Then I shall return for her hand on her eighteenth birthday. Congratulations Mr. Xing. Your daughter is now betrothed to the Yellow Emperor, Kohryu.” With that, the guest became an Earth Dragon in order to prove his validity. Struck with honor the family began bowing, except for Xing. She didn’t want to be married into the Celestial Court, she wanted to prove herself, to be called by her ancestor Guan Yu. “Wait. Who said I wanted to marry you? What about my feelings?” She asked them. The family were shocked to say the least, but Kohryu laughed. “Feisty too! Just like her cooking. I am the Yellow Emperor, son of the Jade Emperor. What I say is law to mortals.” Xing was upset, and began to argue further, but was cut off by her Father’s Promises of marriage and upbringing. “Good. I expect her to be the best chef in your world when I return.” Kohryu said returning to his human form. The guests then summoned a gate and left through it. The next few years were filled with Xing learning Celestial Magic, a family magic, and she got her wish to learn how to cook. She picked up Celestial Magic very quickly, with her learning the 28 characters needed for each Talisman of Writ within the first year. During the Second year of training, she was allowed to learn the Talismans to enter the celestial realms to make contracts with the five guardians, as the family didn’t think it necessary for the future wife of Koryu to be summoning standard spirits like the rest of the family. During her visit, Xing found out that Xuanwu, the Genbu, had moved to the upper courts, giving his retainers She and Wugui, a shared mantle. She then made contracts with each. For every summoning of Seiryu she would plant a Tree. For every summoning of Suzaku, she would have to compliment him. For every summoning of Byakko, the two would set a spar date. For every summoning of Kohryu, she would prepare him 1 bowl of food. The Genbu, She and Wugui, were just happy to get out of the celestial realm for a bit. After her visit, and getting to speak with each of them, she became good friends with them, but was still leery of Kohryu. She felt like he was so stuck up because he was the Jade Emperor’s son. She didn’t belong to him, and wanted out of the marriage. Trying to find a way out of being forced to marry, but getting to learn more cooking techniques, she came up with a plan. Kohryu wanted her to become the best chef in the world, right? How would she know without getting to travel the world and see how her cooking stacks up to others. Coming forward to her father with this plan, she was allowed to leave the complex and journey to the West.
Since being told that she was on par with the Head Chef, Xing had wanted to travel the world to let others taste her food, something she was proud of. Now, she had that chance. But maybe she should settle down somewhere to spread word of her cooking skills before traveling willy nilly. Maybe at one of those Guilds in the West she had been told about in class.
Personality: Xing takes exceptional pride in her fighting abilities, as well as her cooking skills. And although she is always accepting of a fight, she is able to stay cool, calm, and collected, unless she knows that the person will be a good challenge. She is very clever and kind, and also known to be hyper when she sees people enjoying her food.
Seiryu is rather shy and reserved. She has a fondness for plantlife and vegetables finding Radishes cute. Seiryu would rather talk down a confrontation than to have to fight, and when forced to fight, would rather immobilize than actually harm or kill. However, if you disrespect nature around her, she will be thrown into a rage that stems from millenia of watching humans destroy nature.
Suzaku is extremely vain and loves to primp and preen. He is very jealous of Kohryu for “snagging” Xing, and is extremely witty in all of his banter. While he is willing to fight, he’d rather not be forced to work up a sweat, as it may wrinkle his regalia. He has a disdain for anything he considers ugly, and takes immense offense at being injured as it may leave a scar on his beautiful exterior.
Byakko is a party girl, and always ready to fight. And to party. She has a soft spot for all things cute and cuddly and loves cats and exceeds. She is also easily distracted by balls of yarn, usually having to have her attention brought back from it. She also has a habit of playing with her opponents,often setting up traps and slowly whittling them down as seen in her Magic, leaving caltrops and other traps then going in for the kill when they are weakened.
She is a very mischievous spirit that is always willing to have fun. She has a bad habit of making Puns and Plays on words, and often goes out of her way to prank others when given the chance. She also is very impatient, and dislikes long arduous fights, so she will often go in for the kill as quickly as possible, or try and poison her opponents so she doesn’t have to deal with them.
Wugui is also very mischievous, but when it comes to his duties as Genbu, he is very formal and tries his best to remain composed. Much of his mischief is considered a Long Con, and he prefers to take things slowly and as they come. However, he will take advantage of an opportunity, and strike, be it for food, an attack, or a prank. He is the more mature of the Genbu Representatives.
Kohryu is very snobbish and often considers others trivial, except for Xing. If Xing should be hurt, he will gain a murderous intent. Aside from this, he is a womanizer, and hates fighting women, so he will attempt to woo them to his side. In any battle, he prefers to get the job done with as minimal effort as possible, but also with enough force that he won’t have to try again. He is also very privileged, and finds it amusing that anyone would challenge him.
Team Members: Eastern Celestial Spirits.
Three Strengths: Skilled at Hand to Hand Fighting On friendly terms with her Celestial Guardians Excellent Cook
Three Weaknesses: Too eager to fight strong opponents Will easily break into tears if someone dislikes her cooking Very Prideful

Appearance
But Wugui usually has more black armor on, similar to a Samurai. Wields a spear.
Name: Alexander Zauber Age: 19 Magic: Channel Magic, Lacrima Magic
Attacks
Channel: Absorption - Not a true attack, more of a passive ability. The Lacrima within Alexander’s chest resonates and absorbs some, if not all of the magic that comes in contact with his chest. The Lacrima can contain numerous different kinds of magic, but does have a finite limit on the amount of magical energy it can hold. When Alex uses magic, it drains from the Lacrima.
Channel: Blade Beam - By channeling some of the magic energy stored inside of his Lacrima, he can empower his already powerful sword with magic, allowing him to launch projectiles and energy blades. These can be elemental as well. -Magic Blade Beam: projectiles are launched from the blade that can pierce and slice. -Fire Blade Beam: launches fireballs and blades of flame. These can explode on impact. -Ice Blade Beam: launches icicles from the sword. -Wind Blade Beam: invisible slicing winds and gusts are launched from the sword. -Water Blade Beam: Streams of water and globes are launched from the blade. The globes can be guided and persist. He has used this technique to drown victims. -Earth Blade Beam: Rocks are launched from the blade, and pillars of earth can be raised by it. -Lightning Blade Beam: Launches blasts of electricity from the blade and call down lightning bolts. -Light Blade Beam: Arrows and blades of light are shot from the blade. -Dark Blade Beam: Arrows and blades of Darkness are shot from the blade. -Adaptive Blade Beam: Depends on the magic that Alexander absorbs.
Channel: Enhancement - By channeling the various magical energies trapped in his Lacrima through his sword he can enhance the blade with various elements and effects. -Magic Enhance: the sword is covered in energy, making it more powerful. - Fire Enhance: the blade is covered in flames. He can mix the blade beam and enhance to place a mine of magical energy that explodes either on contact or when he chooses. -Ice Enhance: the blade is covered in a layer of ice and freezes anything it touches. -Wind Enhance: the blade is covered in an aura of wind, allowing a missed slice to still cut and a wide swing to blow away the opponent. -Earth Blade: The blade is covered in a layer of rock, allowing it to cause blunt damage and increase its weight. However, it does lose its cutting edge. -Lightning Blade Beam: Electrifies the blade. -Light Blade: Blade is covered in light, acting as a light source and enhancing its strength. Can be used to cause a bright flash to blind opponents. -Dark Blade: The blade is covered in blackness that eats the light just around it and enhances its strength. -Adaptive Blade: Depends on the magic that Alexander absorbs.
Channel: Armor - By channeling magic through his body, Alexander can coat himself in magical energy that helps absorb and block damage he cannot absorb.
Channel: Vampire - Every successful strike with his blade that draws blood steals a little bit of the target’s magical energy. This energy is channeled through Alexander’s veins and into his Lacrima.
Magic Level: A+
History: Alexander was born into a very loving family of his mother and father, shortly after, his sister was born as well. His father was a Magical Researcher and thanks to grant by the Magic Council, Alexander’s family never had to worry about money. His father’s research was to find a way to make magic easy and accessible to all people, without using a magical item. Alexander was in awe of his father’s research because he was one of many that were incapable of naturally using Magic. He would often watch his father work, unable to make out what was being written and said. Eventually though, his father began to hit a wall with his studies. It seemed that there wasn’t any specific way to determine if a person could use magic other than comprehension and being attuned to the flow of magic. He began searching for various materials and items to try and find any way to fix this problem. Eventually the funding was pulled on his research. The family had thought ahead and saved quite a large sum of Jewels beforehand, but Alexander’s father was distraught. He began spending more and more time in his basement lab, funding the research himself, and asking that Alexander not come in. On Alexander’s 11th birthday, his father approached him and asked if he wanted to be able to use magic. Of course, he jumped at the chance to be able to and said yes. His father took him to the lab where he was shown a glowing blue sword, created from the fang of a crystal dragon, and a large lacrima. His father told him that by linking the Lacrima with his spirit, and using the natural channeling abilities of the sword, Alexander would be able to finally access magic. Alexander was excited and moved to pick up the sword, exclaiming happily before being sedated by his father. When he awoke, the lab was filled with smoke and he quickly arose from a table and found the lacrima infused into his body, partly revealed through his chest. He grabbed the sword and exited the basement lab, stumbling. His eyes took a minute to adjust, and he was greeted with his home set ablaze. On the ground outside was his father, bleeding and dieing. His father was happy to see the concealment spell worked. But before he died, his father told him that someone in the Magical Council didn’t like that he had continued his research after they pulled his funding. So they sent a group of mages to kill him and destroy the research. He began questioning his father, Where was Mom and Lilian, his sister? Who was it that did this? What should he do? His father’s last words were, “Those mages had lost magic. No one deserves that much power.” At that time, a man jumped from the shadows and attempted to burn through Alexander, but he turned and the Lacrima absorbed the flames from the man. His Lacrima glowed brightly and he could feel a rush of power. The mage continued his attack, but each fireball disappeared into the Lacrima. With a tackle and stab, the mage was slain, his magic flowing into Alexander. He stood, knowing what he had to do. Leaving the house he found a small scrap of paper, still safe from the fire in his father's hand and he began a search for clues to the Mages that had done this, and to find out who on the Magic Council could have order his father’s assassination. Alexander learned from reading his father’s notes, that the Lacrima in his chest was special compared to others. It could adapt. It would absorb so much energy before expelling an excess amount, expanding the total amount that it could take in. During his travels, he had been attacked by many mages, bandits, bandit mages, and found a couple of the mages under the employ of the Council Member. He even was challenged by an inexperienced mage claiming to be an evil wizard hunter and paladin. During the fight however, he absorbed one of the mages attacks and a large explosion occurred, knocking him away and out. When he awoke, he found himself inside of a small cottage with a woman making soup for him. She bore a resemblance to his sister, but when he asked her, she claimed to have no brother and that her mother and father were still alive. He was nursed back to health by the woman, revealing herself to be a mage with Weight Magic named Alvina. She asked him why he had been fighting that boy, and why Alexander had a Lacrima in his chest, and he explained his story. Alvina decided that she wanted to help the man in his quest for vengeance, to make up for some trouble making she had been recently doing. He didn’t care, as long as she wasn’t one of the Mages that attacked, or got in his way. So the two set off on their journey, gathering a small posse of other mages with them. Including Tristan the Exceed Blacksmith of Justice, Devin the shadow puppeteer, and Nina the narration mage.
Personality: Alexander is a very serious person that is focused on his revenge. Unless he is searching for clues or speaking with others in his group, he is normally very quiet. He finds any opponent that isn’t possibly part of his family’s killers an annoyance. He is also ready for a fight at any moment, having had to hone his awareness over the years.
Team Members: Alvina Tristan Devin Nina
Three Strengths: Alexander is unaffected by C rank magic directed at his chest due to his Lacrima. Other magics have a portion of their power siphoned off to fuel his Lacrima, allowing him access to that magic element as well. Alexander has trained for 8 years with the sword in an unorthodox manner, making him unpredictable when in a fight yet still a highly skilled swordsman. Has become a great survivalist over the years, having to hunt, cook, build shelter, and learn first aid with berries, roots and leaves
Three Weaknesses: Without his Sword, Alexander's channeling abilities are dampened and his hand to hand combat skills are lacking. He can become so fixated on his goal of revenge that he loses himself in a haze of anger. His magic has a limit, and if his Lacrima were to be severely damaged, he may lose his Magic all together. It also doesn't protect from behind.
Greatest Love: His sister, Liliian. She had always been so happy and content without magic, and so trusting with the world. Of course, last time he saw her was 8 years ago when she was 10
Motivation: Revenge.
Appearance: Alexander is a white haired individual standing at 6’ even. His skin is lightly tanned from having spent a large portion of his life traveling on the road and his eyes are a crystal blue. Alexander has an athletic build with part of a lacrima exposed in his chest. His hair is a grayish white hue, kept in a long spiky unkempt look that goes down his back. He wears black pants and an open black shirt, revealing part of his chest. He wears silver cauldrons, gauntlets, and grieves that he keeps great care of. Strapped to his back is the Blue Great Sword his father left him. This sword, while claimed to be forged from a dragon fang, is actually made of a mixture of Lacrima and Stellanium, the metal keeping the lacrima inside it from breaking. This allows it to become a natural conductor for magical energy, both entering and exiting the blade.
Name: Alivna Luft Age: 17 Magic: Weight Magic
Attacks
Weight Magic: Weight Swap - by touching a living being, Alvina can swap the amount of weight and body fat currently on her with them. Muscle Mass is also traded in the exchange. The amount of weight/muscle swapped does not have to be an equal amount.
Weight Magic: Increase - Alvina can increase the weight of any object or person she touches, including herself, to immense proportions without harming the structure of the person or object, such as making a feather as heavy as 10 tons. This effect is only in effect while she has hold of that person or object.
Weight Magic: Decrease - Alvina can decrease the weight of any object or person she touches, including herself, to miniscule proportions, such as reducing the weight of a boulder to a feather. Unlike her Increase magic, this can continue for as long as she makes eye contact with the object. The further away the object is, the more magic is needed to keep its weight down. Armor can also decrease the effect of her magic, as she can’t reach the body properly with her eyesight.
Magic Level: B
History: Alvina had always been a large child and retained most of that weight as she got older. However, because of her large size she often was teased and bullied. She was often upset about this, but her mother, Aeris, would always console her, saying that she would grow out of it, and if not, she could always work at it to lose the weight. She loved her mother, but was also jealous of her, was gifted with Muscle Magic and able to enhance her own body and lose her body fat. Her Mother tried to teach her how to use the magic, but Alvina just couldn’t master it. Until one day in high school she was particularly badly bullied, and one of the bullying girls went to strike her, saying “Moo, Cow! Moo!” Angry, Alvina grabbed the girl’s wrist, “How would you like it? To be called a cow! So big you couldn’t lose the weight! To be so uncoordinated because of it!?” as she spoke, the assailant began swapping her body type with Alvina’s. “How about you moo instead?” She said, knocking the now much larger girl over. She had unlocked her magic, and the years of repressed anger turned to hatred. She tried it again on one of the other bullies, but only made it harder for the girl to move. She began testing her magic on the trio of bullies, and found that she could alter Weight and trade body fat both partly and completely. In her quest for revenge, she found a couple of cows and took their weight, exchanging it with the other bullies. They begged her for their old weight back, but she said that they would have to suffer for as long as she had. Eventually, word got back to the parents about what happened, and they brought it to the attention of Aeris. Aeris had a stern talk with Alvina, telling her never to use her magic on her classmates again. She agreed, sulking as she returned the other girl's weights. Aeris assured the mothers that this would never happen again and they left, but not before calling Alvina a dirty pig girl that should stay away from their children. Aeris became quiet for the rest of the night. Alvina couldn't stand it. After all that, her mother wouldn't console her or even defend her against the words of the bully’s parents. She became mad and upset. That night she snuck into her mother's room, having used a spell to make her light as a feather, and gave her mother her body type. After doing so however, she was ashamed that she would do that to her own mother and went to exchange them back again, but her mother woke up and looked infuriated. Crying, Alvina rushed out of the home and ran away, too ashamed to return. After running away, she found an abandoned house in the woods with a large stocked pantry. She began to feel depressed, and turned to food for comfort. She loved sweets especially, and quickly her weight returned. She went into a nearby village and, penniless, asked for more food. No one believed that she could be hungry with how large she was, and so she began making the villagers fatter. She threatened them all to become her size if they don't hear her demands. The village obliged for a few weeks, but began to run low on food. Alvina demanded they send 1 person each day they couldn't get her food, and the person returned enlarged. The village was terrified of this, and quickly gained money to hire a Mage, but none of the guilds took the mission. Eventually, a traveling mage took the mission, and Alvina fought him in front of her new house. The mage wore a full suit of armor and launched beams of light at Alvina. Not wanting to fight she surrendered quickly and agreed to turn everyone back to their normal weight. The mage took the money but left Alvina half, seeing that she was penniless. He left saying that “If you work hard enough, that weight will disappear. It may not be immediate, but if you work hard, keep pushing, you'll get in shape.” Now that she had money, she didn't have to threaten the village to get food. However, she became determined to lose the weight, and began working as hard as she could, even increasing her weight to help lose more. She managed to lose 100 lbs before being approached by a farmer with 3 sows that he wanted her to swap weight with so he could win a county prize. She didn't like the thought of him cheating, but was talked into it when he said, “Think of it as penance for your transgressions.” So she lost the rest of her weight, ending at a reasonable 110 lbs, began eating healthily, and vowed not to ever take the easy way out again A few weeks later she found a man passed out along the path she normally took to the village. Worried about him, she lightened him and his sword and took them to her home. She nursed him as well as she could over the next three days, cooking soup to feed him. Eventually he did awake, and she asked what happened. He explained that he fought with a familiar mage, she asked why, and he explained his story to her. The story grew a fire in her stomach. Believing that this man was a sign from above for redemption. She decided to assist the man on his journey, vowing to help in any way he can. The man agreed as long as she stayed out of his way.
Personality: Alvina is a very quiet and shy person by nature, but has issues when her being overweight comes up. She used to be very quiet but now flies into a rage about it. When she gets upset she seeks out food, especially sweets. However, she does have a heart that wants to do good though. She often feels guilty about the ill will she had placed upon people. Except the bullies. They deserved that.

Three Strengths: Nothing is too heavy for her to lift thanks to her magic. She can alter her weight and body type. This can allow her to walk incredibly softly. She is fairly clever and well read.
Three Weaknesses: She loses her temper when the subject of her weight comes up. She obsesses over her weight, and will jump at the chance to alter her weight. Sweets. When there are sweets involved she will find any way to get them. This can cause her to gain a lot of weight quickly.

Motivation: Redemption.
Appearance: Alvina stands at 5’2” with long straight blonde hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. Her current body is incredibly slim, with a modest bust and build. She wears a highly elastic red one piece dress with white collar and trim, a large white belt, and knee high brown boots.
Bounce Magic: Bounce Body - by using this magic on a target (himself, item, another person) he fires a beam that can give the target’s body a rubber-like quality. Physical strikes no longer affect the target for a period of time, bouncing back the attack. This can also be used to gain incredible distance when a person runs or jumps, causing them to bound with each step. I’m Rubber! You’re Glue! - After sticking an opponent to the ground, Tristan rubberizes his spear and body. He then polevaults himself into the opponent, using the spear to rebound and continue the attack until they are incapacitated, or he runs out of Rubber magic. Bounce Magic: Bounce House - By using his Bounce Magic, he can cause an area to become extremely bouncy. This can be used to cause a person to lose their footing, make a sudden springboard. His biggest feat was making a whole house bouncy inside and out.
White Ray: Sticky Spread - by using his magical spear, White Ray, he can create a highly adhesive substance. This substance also has the ability to block a mage’s magic (see edolas arc adhesive handcuffs).
Transformation - By using magic, Tristan can change himself into a human form.
Aera - Like all Exceeds, Tristan can sprout a pair of wings for flight.
Magic Level: C
History: Tristan’s life began when he was dropped onto a frying pan, his egg being mistaken for food by a very hungry old blacksmith. The man was as surprised by Tristan, being a green flying cat. The old man, laughed and apologized to the cat, grabbing a saucer of milk and some fish he had caught that morning. Tristan began eating and exclaimed how good the food was. The man nearly had a heart attack when he heard the cat begin speaking. But he quickly calmed down, and asked the strange creature if it had a name. When it explained that it didn't know, the old man decided to name him Tristan, after a gallant hero from a story book he used to read his children. Having named the cat, the blacksmith treated the young exceed as if it were his own son, teaching him basic math, how to read, how to smith magical items, and magic. The blacksmith used his magic to protect himself while making his wares, having become frail in his advancing years. Having to continue making items and not wanting his new cat child harmed, he taught him Bounce Magic. Tristan helped the blacksmith with items, and eventually, was asked if he wanted to make the items by himself. He happily agreed, wanting to prove himself to his adoptive father. However, the man wanted to test Tristan first. He showed Tristan a book that spoke of a legendary blacksmith known as Musica. Pointing to one of the items, a spear, he asked for Tristan to try and recreate it, But also give it his own flair. After a week, he did it. Tristan had managed to create a magical spear, White Ray. It was small and able to secrete a sticky substance. Through a small bit of magic smithing, he made it able to grow to appropriate size based on its wielder. The old man was proud, and told Tristan that the experience was to be a parting gift. The Blacksmith was dying, but didn’t let Tristan know. Handing him a small pouch of gold and the story book, he asked Tristan to fulfill his dreams for him. “Tristan. I've taught you everything I know. But I'm too old for my dream now. I want you to make it true for me. Travel the world as Musica once did, smithing the greatest of weapons and armor, and make a mark in history.” Tristan saluted, tears in his eyes, knowing what the man wanted to tell him, and replied, “On my honor.” a phrase from the story book they had read so often. One year later, Tristan had already forged a few magical weapons and armor, selling some, and placing others around the world in spots he thought looked magical. He would always mark them with a magic stamp; an image of a horse with a cat on it's back. He has kept the White Ray with him, using it for self defense, and occasionally to to catch dinner for himself when he wasn’t near a town. Tristan would seek out other magical items to find inspiration for his work, and word caught his ear of a swordsman wielding a blue sword. Tracking word of the man with a blue sword, he found him walking through a forest just outside of a village.. Upon stopping to ask about the sword, the man attacked Tristan. However, during the fight, Tristan just bounced around avoiding the fight, asking about the sword. The man believed that Tristan wanted to know because he was working for the mysterious magic council person that killed his father for this Dragon Fang sword and Special Lacrima. Tristan, skilled enough to tell what the blade was made from by having been so close to it, told the man it was actually made from some Stellanium-Lacrima hybrid. The man didn’t believe him, and went to swing again, but found a hand on his sword suddenly causing it to fall to the ground, imprinting in the ground. A woman had saved Tristan, chastising the man for nearly killing the “adorable flying kitty cat.” Tristan was grateful for the woman’s assistance, and after a small talk, he found out that the two were on a quest to avenge the man’s father. Tristan, owing the woman a life debt, decided to go with the two. Besides, he may run into some awesome magic items on that journey. The two introduced themselves as Alexander and Alvina. Tristan asked if they were a couple, prompting a punch from Alexander.
Personality: Tristan tends to act like a gallant knight, especially around women. Though he turns into a fanboy when it comes to magic items. Tristan also tends to be childish when he warms up to people, often joking around and poking fun at them.
Team Members: Alexander Alvina Devin Nina
Three Strengths: Can tell what a weapon or piece of armor is made of by look. Bounce Magic allows him to protect himself and his allies. Aera and transformation magic allow him to fly and give him a human form.
Three Weaknesses: Becomes too enthralled over new magical items. His small size and body strength do not allow him to do much in the way of physical tasks. He follows a code of knight like honor to a fault, even following a life debt that puts him in association of a very dangerous man.

I saw Mechs and Magnificent Seven and my mind went 7 Samurai! I love mechs, but I'm not in the right headspace rightnow. Is it alright if I join later?

But Wugui usually has more black armor on, similar to a Samurai. Wields a spear.
