Legion?: Yes, Legion Master of Caelestia Umbra

Other:

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

Fun Facts:

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

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

Name: Reiqu Emmerson

Age: 17

Normal Appearance:


Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes

Avatar Appearance:


Dueling Avatar Name: Pyrite Saber

Dueling Avatar Appearance:


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

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

Rank: 6

Legion?: None yet. (Possibly Yellow Legion)

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

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

Bio:

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

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

other:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Name: Kazuki Watanabe

Age: 16

Normal Appearance:



Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes

Avatar Appearance:



Dueling Avatar Name: Jade Guardian

Dueling Avatar Appearance:



Rank: Level 04

Legion?: Yes, green

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Name: Riselotte "Rise" Valkeyr.

Age: 15 years.

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

Dueling Avatar Name: Lavender Limit.

Rank: Level 06.

Legion: Blue Legion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Name: Enyo "Eins" Reinhardt.

Age: 17 years.

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

Dueling Avatar Name: Blue Lancer.

Rank: Level 09, Blue Legion's King.

Legion: Blue Legion, Event Horizon.

Personality & Bio:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trying For Red King
Name: Hoshino Keiji

Age: 16

Normal Appearance:

Brain Burst Installed/Burst Linker?: Yes

Avatar Appearance:

Dueling Avatar Name: Red Dragon

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

Rank: Level 9

Legion?: Red Legion

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

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

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

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

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

Likes: people, challenges, talking, playing

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

APPLYING FOR YELLOW KING

Name: Hiraku Akiyama [秋山 拓]

Age: 17

Normal Appearance:

Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes. His guardian will be elaborated on in time.

Avatar Appearance:

Dueling Avatar Name: Yellow Jammer

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

Rank: 9

Legion?: Yellow/Flavum Regnum.

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

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

Name: Isamu Muto [武藤 勇]

Age: 17

Normal Appearance:

Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes

Avatar Appearance:

Dueling Avatar Name: Steel Driver

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

Rank: 6

Legion?: Unaligned/Metal

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

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

Name: Shiori Ikeda [池田 栞]

Age: 17

Normal Appearance:

Brain Burst Installed/Brust Linker?: Yes.

Avatar Appearance:

Dueling Avatar Name: Argent Shifter

Dueling Avatar Appearance:

Rank: 7

Legion?: White/Dyrnwyn

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

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