And my Libertybros. [hider= Agent Kato]Full Name: Katherine Nakamura Nicknames/Aliases: Kato (A nickname given to her by her father.) Age: 19 Gender: Female [b] Gift:[/b] [b] Summoner[/b] The abilities of her father and mother combined and manifested oddly for Kat, making her able to summon up 'creatures' from an uncertain source. Some, such as Harold, have been around her since she was a baby, others she brought about through practice and study. The 'core' set of summonings are ones she can call up with comparatively easy 'rituals'. Kat thinks she can probably summon more powerful, volatile things from the other planes, but suspects it would take a lot more effort and concentration, and that comes with the risk of the sendings going rogue. All her summonings seem to be able to pass through shadows to some extent. Her core summonings are as follows: Harold: Kat's first summoning and most frequent, Harold has always been present and around to protect Kat. While Harold cannot speak, he displays a lot of intelligence and understands most of what is said to him. Harold is able to shadow-travel, though prmarily seems to use it to move between hiding in different cupboards. Owlclops: A large, bird-like summoning with a single green eye and many sharp teeth. Owlclops is a fast and powerful flier, though is only the size of a verge large bird, so cannot carry anything as large as a human. Kat tends to summon her to deliver messages. Bahrgeist: An enormous, horse-sized doglike sending, with glowing eyes and no skin, a skull casing round its face. The monster cna be ridden like a horse, though it will only allow Kat, and people whom Kat asks it to carry. Kat tends to call Bahrgeist when she needs to get to a place fast. Opto: A small sending with a foxish face with three eyes and many rows of teeth. Opto is small and can fit through small gaps, making Opto suited to wiggling into small spaces. It is also a very good tracker, seeming to have some measure of ESP. Opto is quite squishy and easily harmed. Additionally, Opto is a gifted mimic, it can remember whole conversations and do perfect imitations of the speakers' voices, 'playing back' what it has heard when told to. [b]Loyalty:[/b] Liberty, Intelligence Division [b]Description:[/b] Kato is quite a distinctive sight, if for no other reason because she's inherited leucistic traits from her mother's side, giving her snow white skin and hair. She is quite small and lightly built, appearing quite delicate at first glance. She is naturally very pale, and has large, pale blue eyes, a quite striking and unnatural shade. Some people might find them rather eerie for that reason. She likes to look neat at least, even if in general dress needs to be geared towards practicality rather than aesthetics. On deployment she tends to dress all in black with a hooded jacket zipped up and gloves on her hands. [b] Personality: [/b]Kat is not easily disturbed by anything. Growing up around strange creatures she spent a lot of time in the company of her summonings, moreso as things went wrong. Kat claims by her own admission to like 'cute things' however Kato's definition of 'cute' seems to differ from that of anyone around her. Where others might fawn over cats or puppies or rabbits, Kat seems to adore anything creepy or hideous. Snakes, spiders, animal skulls, creepy toys and things most people would perceive as nasty, Kat seems to see beauty in the most hideous of things. She was always trying to save spiders, or rats or similar pests from the houses even as a child and set them outside. She seems to be fascinated by anything most would be repelled by. Any memories she has of her father are are dim and distant, as she'd been so young when she'd watched him walk away, and out of her life. She couldn't accurately miss someone who she hardly remembered. More she felt like something was missing. And maybe that is why she worked so hard on her power. As if the next creature she learned to call might somehow fill that missing piece in her life. And while she loved all her summonings in some way or another, none have really been able to give her what she really wanted. In this sense, Kat has often felt the need to look for validation in some way. She likes people to tell her she's pretty, or smart, or competent. She likes to show off, and she likes attention, she seems to want to be the best at what she does which sometimes drives her to take risks. And yet, this comes along with a very calm and compassionate demeanour. Those she grew up with, and the creatures she creates are aware of it, that she can deal with situations, and people in distress very well. She is not easily shaken, doesn't panic, and seems to be very skilled at calming people down. While her outside persona wouldn't suggest it she was always doing her best to help out the other kids she grew up with when they were sick or hurt. SOmetimes her apparent serenity, even in the face of violence or dark scenes can unnerve people, but it's often unclear if she's genuinely as zen as she appears, or simply has a good poker face. Kat's extremely curious about things, and likes to investigate stuff, even if it's not advised to do so. [b] Skills:[/b] - Highly intelligent and skilled, sufficiently that she was placed on a fast-track training programme and graduated into the job at a young age. -Summonings make her highly versatile. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] -Kat is not very resilient. She is agile and quick-witted but like Rei she's not especially physically strong and if something manages to land a hit she tends to take it hard. -If Kat is harmed her summonings tend to start going rogue, and will become increasingly hostile to those around the area if Kat isn't able to call them off. [b] Brief History: [/b] Katherine Nakamura, or Kato, is the one daughter of the somewhat famous Liberty Intel agent, Shiro Nakamura. A defector from Erubescan Japan, Shiro came to offer his services to the supernation with a great degree of enthusiasm. The man became highly respected, a man capable of travelling through shadows as a means to move from place to place. Liberty were keen to pass his powers on, and he was paired with a woman named Alice Farron, with a low-grade biological gift. The result was Kat, a child with a summoning ability. Shiro treasured his daughter, and the normally stoic man showed her a great deal of outward affection. Kato was only three years of age when her father disappeared on a mission in the Ash. A year later Shiro Nakamura was officially marked off as 'lost in action' and Alice was re-assigned a new partner in order to maintain the nuclear household. The match was... not a pleasant one. Kato's stepfather was an angry, hot-tempered man, her new parental unit hated and resented each other, and the young girl spent a lot of her time hiding up in her room, consoling herself with her summonings and state-approved children's programming to drown out the arguments downstairs. On there, she watched cartoons of heroic woodland creatures standing up to the evils of capitalism and defending the glory of their nation... this instilled a feeling of belonging in Kat where she'd otherwise had little to rely on. She drew little of her identity from family, instead pulling both on the company of he creatures, and her intense feeling of duty toward Liberty. Kat excelled in aspects of education, and quickly achieved what she wanted. She was earmarked to be hothoused in an accelerated program, to enter Liberty service. Both her test scores and her pedigree spoke to her potential, and by her 18th birthday, Agent Kato was a fully qualified intelligence operative. [/hider] [hider=Councillor Blue, Head of Homeland Security] [b]Full Name:[/b] Councillor Blue [b]Nicknames/Aliases:[/b] Blue [b]Age:[/b] [NO DATA] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Gift:[/b] - Knowledge Power - Blue has the ability to answer any question or convey any skill, though only if asked a direct question with a concrete answer. This is, like her sibling Green, a trade-off. In order to achieve knowledge from Blue, the participant must forfeit some of their own memories. [b]Loyalty:[/b] Liberty - Councillor for Homeland Security [b]Description:[/b] In stature, Miss Blue is hardly the most intimidating of the Council. She is short-set, petite in build, with inky-black shoulder-length hair. Her complexion is extremely pale, and whilst make-up isn't a terribly common commodity, Blue seems to be seen wearing dark eyeshadow. She dresses neatly, but entirely in black, her outfit giving a sense of someone in mourning. Most notable about the councillor though are her eyes, which are shocking pale ultramarine, with black sclera. They're rather alarming to look at, and far more difficult to maintain contact with. [b]Personality:[/b] Blue is a very calm, collected, courteous individual. She almost always has a serene smile on her features, and has never been seen to raise her voice or become irritable, even in a crisis. She runs her department with level-headed efficiency, something her faction, of course, appreciates. However most anyone outside of Defence would happily admit, albeit in a low tone, that there was something a little...off about Blue. Her tone never varies, making it hard to work out if what she is remarking is sincere or sarcastic. Her calm smile never seems to quite reach her eyes, which are as cold and lifeless as permafrost. Occasionally, people will catch Blue looking at them, out of the corner of their eyes, and see something else in those eyes... something avid and predatory. Like a cat watching a baby bird. Then, just as quickly it's replaced with impassivity again. Blue is a great commander, but whether she's a great person...or even a person, remains more a matter of debate. [b]Skills: [/b]-Ability to convey skills and knowledge upon others means that Blue's top staff are incredibly deadly in combat. -Blue's ability have allows her glimpses into all sorts of secrets. There are a great number of questions she could answer. [b]Weaknesses: [/b] -Like her Erubescan brother, Blue's abilities are dependent on the consent of the subject, and she cannot use them on an individual without the individual agreeing to a 'deal'. [b] Brief History: [/b] Blue has been tied up in Liberty inner workings for as long as anyone within the faction can remember. She had been effectively managing Liberty's Security Division for many years in Pierrot's absence of responsible leadership, something she runs with total and ruthless efficiency, to both deal with enemies outside and inside the walls of Liberty. Blue used her abilities to her advantage. She was able to convey skill and knowledge upon some of her specially chosen staff, however, these trade-offs, while they gave something, seemed to take something away too. Lacking identity, or personality, almost as if they had sold their souls. This all served Blue's purpose very well however. Since her promotion in the aftermath of the devastating attacks, Blue has been working hard to ensure that such a thing would never take place again...and that end would justify all kinds of means.[/hider]
