[hider=Pablo Legazpi] [center][b]Appearance:[/b] [IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/t9ffbq.png[/IMG] Height: ~1.8 Meters. Weight: 55 kgs. [/center] [b]Name:[/b] Pablo Legazpi [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Nationality:[/b] Filipino [b]Noble Arm Name & Appearance:[/b] [i]Katotohanan Ng Mundo[/i] (Truth of the World) [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/s0yibk.jpg[/IMG] [b]Noble Arm Abilities:[/b] [i]The Light of Truth[/i] - By touching a target with any part of the sword, Pablo can reveal said target's 'truth'; this, in essence, means he can find out their life, their thoughts, and their secrets, without lies, self-delusions, and filters. When used upon a living person, they also see what is being revealed as well and know, instinctively, that it's the truth. When used on an inanimate object, Pablo can find out events the object was involved in; useful when used against a murder weapon. This power can undo any form of mind control or mental effect, illusions that are not based on holograms, and mundane indoctrination and brainwashing techniques, as well as various forms of insanity that lead one to believe lies. But the drawback of this power is twofold: One, Pablo also uses the power [i]on himself[/i] every time he activates it, preventing him from lying to himself about his actions and their consequences. The other flaw is that whenever Pablo uses any of his other powers (see below) to fight, he cannot use the Light of Truth. [i]The Light of Primefire[/i] - Pablo can release waves of light that knockback or slightly singe Non-Noble Arms wielders, but burn Noble Arms wielders with fire that cannot be healed by Noble Arms - although Mundane Science isn't bound by that restriction. [i]Mana Shield[/i] - Pablo creates a shield of raw mystic force; a dome or circle two to four meters in height and length, that blocks or reduces the damage from a mundane or 'mystic' attack. Note that too much force would just shatter this barrier. [i]Eyes of Truth[/i] - Pablo focuses the Sword's power into his eyes, allowing him to 'read' the hidden powers of Noble Arms within sight range, even if they are invisible or otherwise concealed. Like the above two powers, this cannot be used alongside the Light of Truth, though in this case, it's only because the latter is redundant with the Eyes. [b]Personality:[/b] Pablo is a naturally reckless person who relies on his powers too often, but [i]can[/i] take advice when needed. He also has a high opinion of himself and his intelligence, as well as a sense of self-loathing whenever this high opinion is proven to be wrong. Despite this, however, Pablo is a kind person, one who focuses on helping others as well as himself, and is aware of his flaws. He is someone who wants to have friends and goes to great lengths to get people to like him and keep liking him. [b]*Likes:[/b] Sweets, Swordsmanship, History, and Literature. [b]*Dislikes:[/b] Bullies, Spicy Food. [b]Fears:[/b] Showing his darker side to his peers. [b]Bio:[/b] Pablo's great-grandparents were migrant workers who came to the city of Manila in the Magsaysay Administration, looking for opportunity, and unlike many others, finding it. While said great-grandparents were menial workers, their children, Pablo's grandparents, were lowly clerks, while Pablo's mother became a lawyer and his father an Eskrima instructor. And so, Pablo grew into some wealth and affluence, despite his mother frequently taking on cases for free. Despite this, Pablo's life seemed normal, although he was more intelligent than his peers by a large margin, to the point where he took advanced classes. This made him feel isolated, and also the target of bullies. It became worse when he realized that he was bisexual early on. He was afraid that if anyone found out, he would be expelled from his family and left out in the streets; he didn't want that. But at the same time, this was what he was born with, and he couldn't change it - he tried. The only people he can confide his secrets to, as well as doubts, were people on the Internet. Yes, foolish idea, but as long as he didn't reveal his name and personal details, he would be all right, right? Wrong, because eventually, one of those people, a woman, found out his personal details and tried to blackmail him for money. Pablo had to make a choice; risk his secret coming out, or steal from what was not his? He chose the former, and he 'came out' to his mother that day. Surprisingly, his mother was understanding; not entirely approving, but not rejecting, either. And so they chose to confront the potential blackmailer together, Pablo's mother had a gun, just in case. The blackmailer turned out to be one a former plaintiff that Pablo's mother had successfully prosecuted, and now sought to ruin the life of her family in response. She was also a Noble Arms master with a Gauntlet that controlled darkness. Caught in a trap, Pablo and his mother risked death...until Pablo manifested his own Noble Arm, the Noble Arm of Truth. Taken by surprise, the blackmailer was defeated through a combination of quick moves and sucker punches by Pablo. And after that, the boy transferred to Trinidad Academy, a local school for Arms Masters, rejecting offers from more reputable institutions because Trinidad Academy was both in his country and closer to home. After two years in Trinidad, the mysterious new Director of the Academy sent Pablo to join Operation: Symbiosis on the condition that he was not to be sent to Combat. His job? As an investigator and interrogator who can get answers without torture... [b]*Current Goal:[/b] See that Operation: Symbiosis succeeds. [b]Military Rank:[/b] Military Police-equivalent. *Optional [/hider] [hider=Eliza Logan] [center][b]Appearance:[/b] [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/205qut2.jpg[/IMG] 5'4, 170.6 pounds.[/center] [b]Name:[/b] Eliza Logan [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Nationality:[/b] American [b]Noble Arm Name & Appearance:[/b] [center][IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/20qaoea.jpg[/IMG] [i]Flamebringer[/i][/center] [b]Noble Arm Abilities:[/b] [i]Fire Generation -[/i] Flamebringer can generate fire and control already-existing flames, moving them from place to place at will. The sword can launch waves of fire with every slash, heat itself to a blowtorch's temperature, and send out fireballs that are slightly slower than bullets but can explode for massive damage. [i]Friendly Fireproofing -[/i] With a moment of concentration, Eliza can magically make her flames refuse to burn people she does not count as an enemy, enabling her to spare civilians and allies from her attacks. With another moment of concentration, she can also make it refuse to burn wood and othet flammable materials. This makes her an immensely valuable asset on clearance missions, as it means that she can spray fire around without risking too much collateral damage. [b]Personality:[/b] Eliza likes to think of herself as ordinary except for her Noble Arm. She mixes with Arms Master and normal person alike easily, trying as best as she can to project a breezy or breezy-ish personality. Kind, joyful, and fun-loving, Eliza nevertheless knows that Operation: Symbiosis is a hard gamble and that the local populace is hostile to foriegn intervention. She hates the Hammer of Masters and Disablers for reasons she deems just, as to her, it's not just intent that matters, but also one's [i]methods[/i] of gaining victory. Even if there are times where the ends justify the means, it should only be [i]rarely[/i]. [b]*Likes:[/b] Babysitting the child prodigies and Arms Masters accompanying the Operation, Reading, Saving Civilians. [b]*Dislikes:[/b] Being feared and hated, while knowing it'd happen a lot. Also, Licqorice. [b]Fears:[/b] Having to commit an atrocity. [b]Bio:[/b] The daugther of a soldier and a nurse, Eliza Logan lived an average life, one that hadn't changed even when her Noble Arm manifested. Her parents handled the apperance of said arm without much fanfare, reminding Eliza that it was what one did with her tools that mattered, not what tools one had in the first place. And Eliza listened, knowing the truth in those worlds. In her small town, she was loved, and quickly learned the ways of talking and acting needed to keep it that way. This served her in good stead as she joined the American Military, completing her training just before Operation: Symbiosis was proposed. As the Operation gained support among various sectors of society, Eliza volunteered to join, and it was discovered that she was good with 'talented but immature' kids. And so as the Operation's troops began deployment in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Cyprus, Eliza was tasked with guarding Pablo Legazpi, the Filipino kid from Trinidad Academy. For it was foreseen by those with precognitive Noble Arms that the two of them were the linchpin to [i]any[/i] possibility of victory in the Operation. Thankfully, the two hit it off without any problems, with Eliza finding Pablo intelligent and surprisingly mature for his age. And so, preperations for their baptism of fire continued... [b]*Current Goal:[/b] Ensure the success of Operation: Symbiosis. [b]Military Rank:[/b] Sergeant First Class *Optional [/hider]
