[hider=The Shining Star] [center][b][color=aqua]• Appearance:[/color][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/s2rjfQ2.png[/img][/center] [b][color=aqua]• Name:[/color][/b] Umi [b][color=aqua]• Title:[/color][/b] The Shining Star [b][color=aqua]• Age:[/color][/b] 17 [b][color=aqua]• Class:[/color][/b] Rogue (Sword) [b][color=aqua]• Aspect of Soul:[/color][/b] Greatsword - Large, unwieldy, but powerful. Almost comical in its size and girth, it is as childish as it is effective. Even though Umi seems naive to the threats in the tower her strength carries her onward. She can handle any burden and defeat any foe, so long as she has hope in her heart to carry her sword. Slinger - An arm mounted crossbow. Capable of taking on a versatile amount of ammunition, from small stones, proper arrows, vials and potions, and anything that can be held down by the slinger's clamp. It lacks the range and power of dedicated range weapons but it's easy to use even in a wild melee and shoots it's projectiles quickly and precisely. [b][color=aqua]• Abilities:[/color][/b] Great Agility - Umi’s abilities are based around positioning, timing, and speed, even if she uses big weapons or normal ones. So she is both naturally fast and trained herself to move quickly, interact with objects dexterously, and quickly react to all sorts of dangers. Uncanny Strength - One might expect a girl like Umi to rely on light weapons and ranged attacks and Umi certainly uses both, but she also has an monstrous strength when she uses her greatsword. Her blows are swift and heavy, well beyond her physical means, thanks to the Aspect of her Soul. [b][color=aqua]• Background:[/color][/b] Umi was an orphan girl who unfortunately never found an adopted family, but she had a home and people who took care of her thanks to her kindly orphanage. Growing up she was always an adventurous girl who wanted to see new things, explore mysterious places, and fight bad guys. Morally a good girl but tends to get herself caught up in trouble. She could never leave people alone if they have problems and those stirring up trouble didn’t escape her attention either. Her life changed in a major way thanks to her personality. Umi was in highschool when she heard one of her friends stopped coming to school. Worried about her health and livelihood Umi went to visit her friend and talk to her at home, but there she learned from her friend’s mother that she simply vanished. Gone without a trace. They were worried she was kidnapped and they spoke to anyone who knew where she might’ve been as well as the police but so far nothing. Umi couldn’t ignore this. So she went looking for clues, looking for answers, until one more she woke up and saw something impossibly amazing. A floating tower in the sky. She had heard rumors of something like that around school, but never believed it. How could someone miss something that huge? How could pictures of it not be spread all over the internet? But before her eyes was that tower. And she knew that her friend was in there. That was the only place she could’ve gone. So Umi steeled herself and finally, she would go on an adventure! [b][color=aqua]• Inventory:[/color][/b] Umi has a stuffed cat doll she dresses up in different outfits. She thinks it’s magical and can warn her of danger so she carries it with her at all times. She keeps him in her duffel bag which holds her baseball gear. His name is Biscuit. [b][color=aqua]• Other:[/color][/b] Umi is an ace baseball player at Miso High. She’s best known for her homerun hits and the variety of trick pitches she can do. She’s considered the fourth fastest runner in school and fourteenth best long distance runner. She has a driver’s license but no car. She bikes to school instead and is considered the third fastest biker and the best long distance rider. Umi still lives at at the orphanage known as The Maiden’s Redeemer. Umi plans to go to college after high school and return to work at the orphanage. She wants to go into law and one day become a police officer or private investigator. Umi's favorite food is smoked sausage and her favorite drink is lemon tea. She hates red/green peppers, olives, and coffee.[/hider] [hider=Sanctuary] [b][color=gold]• Appearance:[/color][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/TatwghY.jpg[/img] [b][color=gold]• Name:[/color][/b] Mamori Heiwajima [b][color=gold]• Title:[/color][/b] Sanctuary [b][color=gold]• Age:[/color][/b] 15 [b][color=gold]• Class:[/color][/b] Mage/Shield [b][color=gold]• Aspect of Soul:[/color][/b] Angel Aegis/Spear of Light - A shield to protect Mamori from the threats she perceives. A bastion to hide from the darkness. With it she can summon an intangible spear of light that can slay monsters, but against the mundane is little more than an trick to hide her weakness by blinding them with her illusions of grandeur. [b][color=gold]• Abilities:[/color][/b] Build Barriers - Mamori is capable of creating both physical and magical barriers to defend herself and her allies, or trap her enemies. Physical barriers take the form of walls made out of whatever material is nearby, popping out from the surface fast enough to intercept attacks. Magic barriers take the form of translucent walls of light that can be passed physically, but prevents magic and magical beings from moving through. Wings of Mercy - Radiant wings that allow Mamori to fly above others, bypassing the need to ever step foot or be at the same level as normal people. But these wings are meant to support Mamori own doubt and make her believe she’s more capable with her magic than without it. [b][color=gold]• Background:[/color][/b] Mamori Heiwajima was a normal girl. A painfully normal girl. She’s always wanted to do more with her life and when she was still young and naive, she really tried. She trained herself, read her books, had a bright look in her eyes as she tried to be everything she wanted to be. But it she learned quickly that hard work isn’t enough to reach her dreams. Even when she succeeded at meeting her goals it felt empty, as a new, greater goal appears and shows that she’s only succeeded in raising the bar higher for herself. Her friends go above and beyond her as she struggles just to keep up. Eventually she just stops trying. So she escapes to her fantasies. To her own stories and books where she’s the only one capable of doing anything. The chosen one, the reliable one, the one who has to make the hard choices and do what must be done. Mamori longed for the chance to finally prove to others and to herself that she was worthy of being considered great. For the fate to favor her and choose her to lead the world to a greater tomorrow. That chance happened when she saw a tower in the sky. No one else has ever seen or heard of it before. She saw an angel in the air and she saw Mamori. Without another word she flew towards the Tower, as if guiding the nobody to embrace destiny. This was her chance. Mamori left everything behind so she could finally fulfill her dream. To be someone special. [b][color=gold]• Inventory:[/color][/b] Mamori has been in the Tower long enough to gather her own items to survive the Tower without ever having to return to her old world. A ball of light follows her that she can store various items, mostly supplies like food and water, as well as some treasures. She also has something of a “guide” to some parts of the tower that she often frequents, since the chaotic nature of the tower makes conventional maps useless.it details things like what monsters appear in a certain area, what beneficial items could be found, and various hazards to watch out for. [b][color=gold]• Other:[/color][/b] Mamori has been in the Tower for at least a month now, not that she knows it. She thinks she’s only been in there for a week at most. She doesn’t have a single base of operation as she can easily make a safe shelter for herself using her magic. She’s an avid reader and consumer of media, and associates most things in the Tower with tropes, nerd lingo, and generally treating her life in the Tower as a video game albeit one that she takes very seriously. She used to take bojutsu from grade to middle-school, but stopped when she entered high school. She’s since then been honing her skills again in the Tower, adopting her magic and shield into her fighting style. She was never that great but she’s gotten better. Mamori used to have brown eyes and long hair, but now her eyes are red and she cut her hair short before she had left for the Tower. Her hair hasn't grown any longer since then. Mamori’s favorite food is Sour Cream and Onion chips and her favorite drink is Mountain Dew. She hates raw fish and any sort of condiment sauce. [/hider]
