Hatman's Reserved and Important NPCs [h3]---CMAS---[/h3] [hider=Arch Mage Sulfrax Lauchlin] [sub]- - - - (Personal Details)[/sub] [b]First Name:[/b] Sulfrax [b]Last Name:[/b] Lauchlin [b]Age:[/b] 37 (Physically 26) [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Home Nation:[/b] Hyznia [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/U8lw6dW.jpg[/img] Sulfrax is a somewhat short individual for a man, standing at 5'7" and weighing only about 110lb. His skin is very pale, with bright silver eyes, and a very recognizable bright magenta hair, kept somewhat short, barely covering his ears and the back of his neck, with hardly any bangs covering his forehead. His garb is very traditional of a mage, especially from Hyznia. He's commonly seen in a deep, deep blue hooded robe, almost black, and somewhat oversized for him, with the hood hanging slightly over his eyes and the base occasionally dragging along the ground. His arms and legs are covered up past the elbows and over the knees in leather straps, adorned with several arcane runes, although his sleeves hang past his hands usually, so it isn't always apparent. Regardless of this, he is a well-recognized presence across all of the Nations, a powerful Arch Mage responsible in the ability to create the arcane node being used for the survey and expansion projects. [b]Personality:[/b] [i]"If you want to chase dreams, then go back to sleep. If you want to achieve ambitions, then get back to work."[/i] Sulfrax is extremely detached and calculative. His only ambitions at this point seem to be towards furthering the knowledge of the arcane, and towards enhancing his already infamous magical prowess. While he is more widely known as a brilliant mind and an example for those with ambitions of power and knowledge, over the past several years he has gradually faded from the public eye, his known deeds rarely mentioned, and himself becoming more of a recluse, both politically and personally. His mental stability is often called into check, and his continued study of the arcane has gone from diligent to obsessive. He will change both moral views and objectives seemingly at a whim, as long as they meet the criteria of benefiting himself, or arcane knowledge as a whole. [b]History:[/b]Sulfrax was a well-respected and famous Arch Mage, directly responsible for the ability to create a synthetic arcane node. Ten years prior, Arcadia announced it's creation of a functioning synthetic arcane node. At this same time, the famous arch mage became infamous. He was taken off of development teams, slowly stripped of authority, and fell from the public eye, at a pace that garnered questions from very few. None are sure why this has happened, but regardless, Sulfrax's impact on the magical community over the years remains. Any proper scholar or even ranked mage would know him at a moment's notice, for none could contain the books that should be written. [b]Occupation:[/b] CMAS Arch Mage (on suspension), Former head of the S-S Project, former Hyznian scholar. [sub]- - - - (Power Matrix)[/sub] [b]Primary Focus:[/b] Arcane [b]Magical Capabilities:[/b] Being a (former) Arch Mage of his talent, his mastery of the arcane is well-renowned, and properly feared. His repertoire is vast, consisting of elemental, mental, and physical manipulation on a grand scale, all while using his arcane network to pinpoint efficiency. Rumors since his fall from the public eye have been shifty, stating that he must have lost power...or has only been gaining more without government distractions. [b]Body Modifications:[/b] Apparently none. [b]Weapons and Equipment:[/b] A small satchel beneath his robe carries a notebook, where he keeps notes for future archiving, as well as a roll of spare leather wrappings. The leather bindings on his arms and legs must have some arcane property, but it is not apparent what. [b]Specialties:[/b] Sulfrax has studied the arcane to the (apparent) point of madness. Only the ridiculously obscure and obscene in the realm of magic would surprise him. Being a magic-happy recluse doesn't exactly do wonders for the physical body though; he's quite weak. [/hider] [hider=Mina Neve] [sub]- - - - (Personal Details, Some Information Undisclosed)[/sub] [b]First Name:[/b] Mina [b]Last Name:[/b] Neve [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Home Nation:[/b] Arcadia [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8f/fb/49/8ffb496c0089fc8455293046e698624a.jpg[/img] Mina stands at about 5'5" (165cm), and weighs about 123lb (56kg). Her body is slender but womanly, with a gentle curvature, long legs, fair skin, and long, crimson-red hair reaching to the small of her back. Her face shares the slim-but-elegant attractiveness of the rest of her, all centered around bright golden-colored eyes behind thick lashes. She has a varied wardrobe, ranging from long, elegant dresses, to simple skirts and sweaters, to business suits, to ornate traditional magi robes. She is no stranger to make-up or jewelry, accenting her features with lipstick, eye shadow, polished nails, and a different pair of matching rings and earrings for every occasion. She doesn't usually tie her hair back, but when she does, a small tattoo of a sun can be seen on the back of her neck. [b]Personality:[/b] Mina is charming, charismatic, and attractive, and she has used all of this, alongside her incredible magical talents, to make reaching the top of the ladder of power very easy, and she enjoys a seat as one of Sydney's most valuable assets. [b]History:[/b] Currently undisclosed. [b]Occupation:[/b] Archmage; Head Councilwoman of Magic [sub]- - - - (Power Matrix)[/sub] [b]Primary Focus:[/b] Arcane [b]Magical Capabilities:[/b] Mina is regarded as one of the most proficient magi around, despite her narrow repertoire; while her only offensive potency lies in elemental pyrokinesis, it has been refined to a terrifying degree. Far more unique however, and the linchpin to her guaranteed success, is her prowess in long-distance telepathy... [b]Body Modifications:[/b] Not even a boob job. [b]Weapons and Equipment:[/b] Mina keeps an enchanted string of red ribbon, roughly five feet long, wrapped around her waist, used to help channel her magic. [b]Specialties:[/b] Telepath, dancer, undisclosed.[/hider] [hider=Faehran Lunaweave] - - - - (Personal Details) First Name: Faehran Last Name: Lunaweave Age: 24 Sex: Female Home Nation: Illon Appearance: [img]http://cdnlava360.saturn.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/gloaming_sorceress_by_orgo-d55mqm8.jpg[/img](picture only partially accurate) Faehran stands at an unusually tall 6'2"(188cm) and weighs about 170lb(77kg). She has is fairly muscular despite her voluptuous frame, clearly getting in plenty more exercise than most magi from the other Nations, more comparable to a long-term Diver's build. Her hair is long, straight, and raven black, and her eyes are a dim yellow-green. Her face has a strong bone structure, and in terms of figure alone, she strikes somewhere between very attractive and very intimidating. She definitely leans towards the latter though, with red eye shadow deep enough to look like blood, a tattoo of a crow's foot about the size of her fist below her collarbone, and several scars along her forearms. She wears a black short-sleeved leather coat, open in the front to expose her tattoo and tattered in the back, reaching just above the backs of her knees. Her stomach, lower breasts, and arms to just above the elbow are covered in dark grey cloth wraps. Below, her pants are a brighter grey leather, with shin-length boots of the same color. Her wrists and ankles are adorned with metal bands that almost look like shackles, and a red cord around her waist holds several thin metal containers below her coat. A white armband with CMAS stitched on is lazily strapped around her upper left sleeve, presumably last-minute. Personality: Faehran is a bit hard to pin down; she is an Illon ideal in her appearance, tall strong and intimidating. Her eyes always appear cold, and her reactions halfhearted, which easily puts people off. The worst part is that she never seems to talk. Ever. Luckily, most questions a soldier is asked are answered with a simple yes or no, so nodding and shaking her head seems to work just fine. History: Faehran has no public notoriety or work history to speak of. It seems like she was simply dragged out of somewhere in Illon and slapped on the Survey Team 1, and nobody who doesn't need to know, doesn't know. Occupation: CMAS Soldier [/hider] [hider=Drama Knife Nicolas] - - - - (Personal Details) First Name: Nicolas Last Name: Styx Age: 17 Sex: Male Home Nation: Unknown Appearance: [img]http://i.imgur.com/4nL9Q4j.jpg[/img] Nicolas stands at about 5'5"(165cm) and weighs around 106lb(46kg). His build is wiry and thin, with very tan skin, but the rest of his appearance is covered by his ensemble of clothing. His attire varies frequently in color, but the articles themselves tend to stay the same types; a light breastplate, hooded cloak, shin high greaves, long gloves, and decorated cloth tunic and leggings. Currently, for work purposes, his metal breastplate has a stylized CMAS emblem engraved upon it. He carries three different carved wooden drama masks with him, one for happiness, sadness, and anger; a thin black gauze prevents his eyes or mouth from being seen beneath. He wields a pair of long daggers, both of them decorated with gold-and-silver paint, and handles wrapped in blue ribbon. Personality: Nicolas is a self-proclaimed entertainer, quick to crack a crude joke, snide remark, or sarcastic compliment. He has a habit of breaking into a short skit to add flavor to a conversation, and loves being near the center of attention. Despite how annoying all of this may seem, he's remarkably easy to get along with, good at holding lighthearted conversations and lifting the moods around him. However, if tensions rise too high, he can lose composure, having difficulty handling sensitive issues. Playing the game of life and death isn't nearly as fun if nobody's having a good time, after all. History: Wherever he came from originally, the "Drama Knife" found himself making cuts across No-Man's Land, remarked by many as one of the fastest-developing combatants out there. He discovered his talents for thievery, charisma, and wit at a young age, and he exploited them to become one of the stragest and most prodigal Divers out there. Growing into a masked blade-for-hire, several rumors spread about his talents as a true rogue of the wastes, and he was paid well to end rivalries and restore riches to those who had been wronged, without a shred of proof left behind to prove him guilty. Which begs to ask if he started his own rumors, just to put himself in a greater spotlight? Occupation: Junker[/hider] [h3]---Divers---[/h3] [hider=Alvios Maeti] [sub]- - - - (Personal Details)[/sub] [b]First Name:[/b] Alvios [b]Last Name:[/b] Maeti [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Home Nation:[/b] Arcadia (prefers to say Diver's Paradise) [b]Appearance:[/b] Alvios stands at about 6'0", weighing at around 160lb with a tight, muscular frame. His hair is mid-length and usually only casually kept, with his bangs reaching just above his eyes, and the length ending just above the base of his neck. He's usually seen with a dark purple bowler hat with a color-matching trench coat, undone at the front to reveal a red shirt beneath, black jeans, and short grey leather boots. His skin is lightly tanned from his days out in No-man's-land, and his eyes are a bright blue. [b]Personality:[/b] Alvios is a kindhearted, modest man, spending most of his time making sure everything going on around Diver's Paradise is kept fair and safe. Despite the amount of work he puts into this; managing supplies, codes of conduct, and solving group disputes, he still manages to come across as more of a personal friend than an authoritative figure. Being one of the founding members of Diver's Paradise, he holds the belief that Divers are a community built upon freedom, but a community nonetheless, and should work together to make the no-man's-land as much of a haven as it is an adventure. [b]History:[/b] Luke's best friend, he has been a Diver alongside him for years upon years now. They founded Diver's Paradise together, and has been helping any Divers he comes across since. [b]Occupation:[/b] Diver [sub]- - - - (Power Matrix)[/sub] [b]Primary Focus:[/b] Ki [b]Magical Capabilities:[/b] Alvios is one of the most potent Divers out there, and is a master of manipulating the inner energies of Ki, giving him vastly improved strength, stamina, and durability. However, his greatest achievement in this art is his ability to manipulate his Ki outside of his body to more degree than just a raw force. Due to this, most people confuse it with magic, and Alvios doesn't bother to correct them; the element of surprise, after all. - Ki Healing: Alvios can project his own Ki to overstimulate anothers' Ki in a specific area, and manipulate the body's natural regeneration to an insane degree, to close wounds, mend bones, and even repair organs. However, this does have its limits, and is impractical in combat outside of minor injuries. Intensive damage would still require time to heal, and the patient would still need time to recover. - Ki Wave: Alvios focuses a massive amount of Ki (usually through his sword, but can be done with a hand or foot) into an arc of raw energy. The blast is fast and violently powerful, and certainly enough to tear through the common foe. However, since Ki is an internal energy, doing this is strenuous, and too much use can be taxing on himself. [b]Body Modifications:[/b] None [b]Weapons and Equipment:[/b] The inside of Alvios' coat contains several pockets with salves, herbs, bandages, elixirs, scalpels, and other things needed for cleaning a wound before healing, or to help fight off infections, illnesses, and venom. Templar's Blade: [img]http://www.kaswords.com/images/products/detail/Knights_Templar_Medieval_Replica_Longsword_Gold_01.jpg[/img] A blade found during his early years of Diving, Alvios has taken a liking to it, and keeps it with him at all times. He has magically reinforced the weapon over the years, making it far more potent and durable than a regular blade. [b]Specialties:[/b] Helps organize and mediate Diver's Paradise, vast medical knowledge, swordplay, basic martial arts. [/hider]
