A wannabe hero with minor chuuni tendencies, and in over her head with bandits. [u][b] Appearance Description (optional) [/b][/u] Standing at a somewhat tall 5'7, Chieko isn't exactly the most physically impressive of people to look at. With a fairly pale complexion, long brown hair that falls to her shoulders and chocolate colored eyes. Most often, she wears a neutral or bored expression. Is a fan of warmer clothing. Since being forced to work with Fritzi's Demi-human liberation front, Chieko has pulled from her past school years and has taken to wear a slightly edgy look. Wearing a black full body cloak with a hood that could easily conceal her identity, with dull gold trimmings and a belt for utility. Under it, she wears a layer of roughly put together armor. A chestplate, wrist guards and shin guards on her feet. Wields a simple looking, rather cheap looking club. A long wooden club with a ball of metal fashioned onto the end. Functional enough, and easily swung with a single hand. [u][b] Personality [/b][/u] If there is one word that could be used to describe Chieko, it is [i]confident[/i]. Confidence bordering on arrogance and overconfidence. As such, she comes off as both cold and aloof to quite a number of people. Doesn't help she doesn't exactly mince words. Couple that with her considerable intellect and generally 'I have to be the best' mentality she's quite a force to be reckoned with if she sets her mind to something. However, despite her somewhat cold and blunt demeanor, she is a nice person. She can't turn a blind eye to someone in need, and she'll often help those that she can, granted they're not scared of her icy demeanor or her general initially hostile seeming attitude. Especially if she thinks someone is being a complete and utter dunce. That said, she tends to get flustered quite easily sometimes, especially when dealing with some of her more...secretive hobbies. Is troubled by the fact she's working with people who are essentially bandits, but currently has no way of immediate escape or way to resolve such an issue. She has become a bit harsher in her mannerisms because of this. Her confidence only seems to have been strengthened due to recent events. [u][b]Class[/b][/u] Battle Cleric. While she herself isn't in the best physical condition at the moment...she just got thrust into an anime world! Why, why [i]wouldn't[/i] she learn how to wield a blade and fling spells whilst wearing armor? That'd be like, wish fulfillment of the highest degree! Ah, too bad she can't use healing magic...Perhaps later she could figure out how too. At least fire magic will let her burn all the infidels! [u][b] Bio [/b][/u] [hider=Part 1] Chieko's history isn't anything special. Well, except if you don't count the fact she was the biggest chuuni you would have ever met about a year ago. A dark chapter in her life she does not want to revisit, but the fact she's a bit of a bit of an otaku tends to overshadow that. Other than that dark chapter in her life, she's had a fairly normal life. Had a younger sister, average, middle working class parents. Wasn't the most popular kid in shcool thanks to both her chunni a few years ago, and her rather cold demeanor after that. Most of the time, she spent either reading, studying for exams, or spending her days playing video games online. As for what she was doing when she found herself in this new world? Nothing that interesting. She was on her way home from a rather questionable shop that sold a number of anime...'collectibles'. Casually walking down the sidewalk and talking with her little sister on the phone, she suddenly found herself in Priestella. [/hider] After finding herself in the slums - she experienced her first death at the hands of bandits and where she learned of the ability to rewind time after death. Thanks to Aerith and Hiro, they managed to escape with the help of two natives during her second life - Irene and Vasilis. The two led them to Donovan's clinic, where they met up with another group of non-natives, and attempted to find their way out of this mess. Over the course of several more resets, the group slowly dwindled as more and more began being cut off permanently. Either dying permanently, or simply disappearing with a reset. Hilda. Walker. Aaron. Yuuki. All gone. Even if she didn't know them very well - it wasn't a comforting fact to know they could be cut off at any time. Finally, things seemed to be going relatively well. During one reset she learned that they wanted them alive - not dead. This all seemed to be a test of some sort. They thought they were somehow able to see, and alter the future before it happened. After several resets with the others dying, Chieko managed to convince one of their attackers, Quill, that she would leave the others alone if they took her instead. She was prepared of course, for the consequences. Be it death or kidnapping. Her friends - Hiro and Aerith - were too good natured however, it seemed. Aerith started a fire in the clinic, and Hiro ambushed quill, trying to save her. Things went to hell fast after that. The ringleader made their appearance. The leader of the Demi Human liberation front, Fritzi going by the Alias 'Elder Sister'. Things happened fast after that, and maybe she shouldn't have been so hard on Aerith, but she was angry. She couldn't help it. She almost had saved both of them by sacrificing herself. That was fine. Aerith tried to kill herself, and another earthling by the name of Ashton stabbed Hiro in an ill fated attempt to force a reset. It was then, those still alive met their chosen 'Lovers', and they learned more about this...death revival thing far more in depth, and where Chieko met her lover, 'Gluttony' and only briefly interacted with 'Wrath'. Still devastated by Hiro and Aerith's death, she didn't get much talking with either of them done, and after Lord Talus returned them to the world, she was recaptured by Fritzi. There she vowed that she would no longer be weak, and she would take every bit of training she could get from these bandits and eventually defeat them. Taking up Quill's offer to be trained, Chieko decided to rather predictably, take a weapon that she was familiar with from her questionable past as a...daydreamer. Lets call it that. [u][b]Magic[/b][/u] Normal Magic [b]Life energy:[/b] S+ [b]Flow:[/b] B- [u][b]Abstract Magic[/b][/u] [i]Signature Spells[/i] [i][b]Ethereal Conflagration Aegis (AKA, A fire Shield)[/b][/i] A spell Chieko developed while training with Quill, with a totally awesome and legit heroic name. Creates a static, solid force of burning magic in front of the user about the size of your average shield. Blocks a reasonable amount of damage before shattering. Aside from this, rather predictably it burns whatever it touches. Can be kept up indefinitely as long as the user has magical reserves.

[/hider] [hider=Never Trust a Fox] [center][h2]Mie Yukima[/h2] [img]https://i.imgur.com/KB05lCJ.png[/img][/center] [center][b] 22 | Female | 113lbs | 5'0 [color=black]Yin[sub](Shamak)[/sub][/color] | Native | Fox-demi human/Kitsune[/b][/center] [u][b] Description [/b][/u] An assassin currently working in Priestella under the guise of a merchant. Her current mark seems to be Mistress Vertti. [u][b] Appearance Description (optional) [/b][/u] Standing at just 5'0 with a slight frame and 113lbs, Mie isn't all too physically impressive. Got rather shafted on the gene pool, unlike her womanly older sister who she frequently says 'has useless bags of fat' on her chest. She has long black hair, with a black fluffy tail and is typically seen dressing in fairly comfortable and expensive clothing befitting of a well off person. The ear piercing she can typically be seen wearing, is in fact, a makeshift weapon. A last resort, should she find herself without other means to takeout opponents.

It's almost like she's constantly trying to annoy you - because she is. It's how she gets her giggles. She takes great joy in calling people stupid, pointing out their flaws, making fun of them, and otherwise just generally being a little twit. However - at the same time, she'll listen, never shun away from anything stupid you do, and she'll never betray, not keep her word, or otherwise seriously make fun of someone. If there's one thing she can't stand, it's bullying At times, on certain cold, cloudy nights, she becomes oddly melancholic. She knows a good deal whens he sees one, and an easy way to get on her good side is bribery or flattery...of course she might just take the compliment then call you a fool for trying to get on her good side and still not do anything. [u][b] Class [/b][/u] Assassin [u][b] Bio [/b][/u] War is a terrible thing. Originally from the Kararagi Shogunate, her family moved to Lugnica when she was young hoping to strike it out on their own and start a small business. Once upon a time, Mie had a family. A loving father, mother, sister. She was raised in a small village in Lugnica where she lived a fairly normal life, while her parents worked tirelessly on their farm. Perhaps a bit wealthier than other people, and eventually her parents secured a small fortune by the time she was seven years old. Unfortunately - the racial wars started around that time. Angry humans came to the village, ransacking it and ultimately she lost her parents in it. Her sister and her barely escaped with a small group of others, though eventually they became separated, making their way through the forest where the happened to stumble upon the camp of a kind old man who was traveling that day. Not knowing what else to do, they took him up on his offer of coming with them. The older man was a merchant, similar to that of their parents. An old grizzled merchant who had seen quite a lot in his time, apparently. He took the two of them back to his home where he stayed after traveling around Lugnica. It was hard to accept at first, but eventually Mie warmed up to the man and the humans in the village. Ultimately, he taught them math, accounting, and other business practices that would help them - and him, around the shop. He often like to joke he just picked them up for free labor. For another three years, everything was as it should be it seemed. She had friends, another loving family and life was generally peaceful. It seemed as though the world wouldn't let her have peace, though. War came to her village again, with the Demi-humans being aggressors this time. The old man that took them in was killed, but the Demi-Humans spared their lives and decided to take them in themselves. Perhaps a bad idea, but they justified it by saying they were rescuing them from a human. Mie and her sister traveled with these demi-humans for a few months, trying to make the best of things, but ultimately Mie couldn't take it any more. She wouldn't sit her her tail and be uselessly coddled or put up with the murderers that she deemed the demi-humans to be. She was too angry. Upset. She wanted revenge - and seeing an opportunity, a certain merchant who had been helping the group made her an offer. He was a Shinobi from Kararagi, and he thought Mie had talent. Seeing an opportunity herself, she took it. He took her under her wing, traveling back to her homeland of Kararagi and leaving her sister behind. There she refined her trade skills, learning the ins and outs of both subterfuge, assassination, combat, and mercantilism and putting them to use as an apprentice for a few years until she was ready. It was tough to say the least - learning the ins and outs, political maneuvers, bribing the right people, investing in the proper things. Letting go of ones conscience. When she was seventeen she formally finished her apprenticeship and was given an assignment. Work at a cell in Lugnica, with her cover being a traveling Merchant at one of the organisations front companies. So she did, and it's where she's been working since. Surprisingly, her sister also ended up working there after the war as a blacksmith and merchant herself. Mie herself, works as a traveling merchant bringing the companies products to several outer villages in Lugnica as well as other places. She buys and sells pretty much anything she thinks she can make a profit on. and so she was given a mark in Priestella, where after a small misadventure she learned her target knew she was a target, and knew who was the one assigned to do the deed.
