[/color][h3]Characterization & Conceptualization[/h3][hr][color=878787][sub][color=80A2D7][b]What Do They Look Like?[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Nagi isn't particularly outstanding on the physical side, despite her penchant for sports, only standing at 5'6" and weighing 129lbs. Her frame is slim and only barely athletic, but one can still see [i]some[/i] measure of tonage in her muscles. [i]One[/i] thing that may stand out in particular to some however is her snow-white hair which, although dyed, looks rather natural on her. Although it falls just past her shoulders, she almost always keeps it up in a bun or ponytail. When it comes to her sense of fashion, well - there isn't really any. She doesn't mind much what she wears as long as it's comfy, and she has little proclivity for wearing things like makeup or jewelry.[/indent]
[sub][color=80A2D7][b]What Are They Like?[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Nagi is a pretty laidback girl. She leans a bit towards the extroverted side, striking up conversations with those she finds interesting, and even cracking jokes with strangers. This, combined with the fact that she's a rather difficult person to vex, makes her easy to get along with in most cases. It is notable that she is so laidback that some people view her as aloof, even in more serious situations. She is, however, rather earnest when it comes to helping her friends, even if she doesn't show it.

Though it is hard to annoy or anger her, she is [i]very[/i] protective of her friends or those she would like to befriend, and has snapped at people on a couple occasions due to their bullying of her friends. In such cases, she can prove to have a rather sharp tongue.
[/indent]
[sub][color=80A2D7][b]What's Their Story?[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Nagi was adopted as a child by two very affectionate Tokyoites. While they weren't very economically fortunate, they had wealth in their love for the young girl. As such, she felt very nurtured and cared for growing up. When she began to show interest in sports from a young age, her parents were more than encouraging, and enjoyed watching her grow into a little sports enthusiast. At first she seemed like a rather promising player in several sports she tried - basketball, softball, and even soccer. As she grew older it turned out she [i]was[/i] pretty good at all three, which was fine-and-dandy, [i]but[/i] the girl did not have a propensity for teamwork or for following the lead of others at all. But in the same hand, she wasn't a leader herself either. This left her in an odd spot that made her inconsistent in her usefulness to any teams she was a part of, and as such, not many saw promise in her. She was really hoping for sports-based scholarships as she reached the end of highschool, but she didn't quite fit the bill.

Although she was a bit disappointed, she was never one to dawdle on the unfortunate things in life. She kept playing sports until the end of highschool, at which time she took a year off to take time for herself. After that year she begrudgingly applied for more mundane scholarships and money grants to enroll herself in college part-time. She's been attending college for the last two years - well, mostly; she's not enthralled with the idea of enduring all the schooling, and her grades suffer quite a bit because of it. She is, however, still sticking with her love of sports. Not that that matters much- she's still just as bad a teammate as she was in highschool. [i]And[/i] she doesn't even have a job, so.
[/indent]
[sub][color=80A2D7][b]Why Did The Wish Choose Them?[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]In terms of working well with others, Nagi is towards the very bottom of the totem pole. She's not great at following orders, giving orders, or having any sort of initiative, really. She's not intent on fixing this or really improving herself in any way, and just deflects all her problems with an aloof handwave.
[/indent]
[sub][color=80A2D7][b]What "Hero" Will They Embody? Why?[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Nagi embodies the Hero of Defense; in conflict she's more of a passive person, and has a streak of altruism when it comes to her friends. She will protect her comrades fiercely if pushed to it, putting her stoic mind and body in the way of harm so they don't have to.

[indent][indent][indent][color=C2B04D][b][u]Name[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie Kelly[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Age[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]20[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Gender[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Female[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie, as one would probably expect from a voguish pop singer, is a rather fashionable individual. Her heart-shaped face is framed partially by her tussled blonde hair, which is usually styled in a messily textured, long-pixie cut. Beneath her thin eyebrows rest a set of striking and expressive bright-cherry-red eyes, which she usually contrasts using opposite-colored earrings, of which helixes are her favorite. It's easy to find her youthful lips formed into any form of smirk or smile.

When pertaining to physique, Aaxie isn't a slouch when it comes to keeping in shape. She's still a bit on the smaller side, standing only at 5'4", but weighs a little more than average at around 140lbs due to her regular workout routine. Her shoulders are slim but defined in musculature, and the same can be said for her arms; she can at least elicit a few hoots with some flexing. Although it doesn't particularly help with her career, Aaxie especially enjoys powerlifting as a hobby, which is also somewhat evident in her legs and general physique. All in all she's a leanly muscular, yet petite, girl.

When it comes to her wardrobe, she mostly just wears whatever she feels like. She doesn't stick to one particular style and just mish-mashes her wardrobe together on a whim. She does, however, very much prioritize comfortable clothes and smallish accessories that she thinks are attractive or otherwise cute, such as chokers, various types of earrings, thigh straps, etc. etc. She's also no stranger to the occasional cross-dress-ish outfits - if it's cute or cool, she'll wear it. One thing she refuses to wear though is makeup - although she does enjoy eyeliner, that's the extent of her makeup desires.[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie is a pretty lively girl. She's outgoing, playful, and curious. She gets along with most people, and those she doesn't(usually through them not liking her), she'll still probably try to get to know them. She enjoys being adventurous, and is usually easy to talk into trying new things. She's a decidedly down-to-earth girl, and doesn't give off any signs conceitedness, often genuinely downplaying her popularity or achievements.
Although it's difficult to find the girl in a downcast mood, she does have her moments in her lone time. On the note of serious topics or situations, the girl has a surprising amount of firmity in her beliefs - social, political, or otherwise - and, on the softer side, is always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on to those in need.[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Backstory[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie had a simple and cushy upbringing. She was born in Sydney, Australia to two successful doctors. Being an only child, she was very much expected to carry on the family profession - which she entertained for a bit. But in reality, she wasn't entirely interested in becoming a doctor. She defiantly attended vocal and singing classes through money she stole from her mother's purse on a regular basis - reasoning that they definitely wouldn't miss it. She got away with doing so for a few years before she eventually confessed her desires to be a singer to her parents, who quickly brushed off the idea - but when they heard her sing they were visibly shocked. Okay, maybe singing wasn't such a bad idea for the young girl, but they didn't particularly like the type of music she chose to sing. They convinced [i](read: forced)[/i] her to choose something "more classy than rock or metal". Feeling a little heartbroken, she chose the next closest thing: pop. Her parents still weren't too thrilled, but at least it wasn't metal.

With their daughter's newfound talent at hand, they hurriedly rushed her into vocal classes, unknowing of the ones she previously took. She sailed through the classes, thoroughly enjoying the praise she received at her well-controlled vocals, but she was equally conflicted that she wouldn't be performing what she truly wanted to. She pushed through regardless, and quickly found herself sponsored by her own parents with everything she would need to start a singing career.

She was 17 when she started gaining popularity. Her vocals were a hit immediately, possessing a bright and easily flexible voice with a ton of range, making it easy for her to sing in ways other young artists couldn't. Over the next few years she became very popular, easing comfortably into the top-echelon of singers - she wasn't a household name, but every music-nerd worth their salt knew her name. Not that she particularly sought the attention or needed the praise - in truth, the girl loved making others happy and sharing her passion for singing, and would try her best to inspire her audience. All the while though, she felt her true desire sit heavily in her gut. She would give anything to sing what she truly wanted - that being rock and metal music - but it seemed like she was meant to sing pop. Or at least, that's what everybody else seemed to think. And who was she to tell them they're wrong?[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Skills[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie's practical skills are pretty few, due to the nature of her career. She's a very talented singer, and has a penchant for making things look nice, whether it be hair, clothes, or whatever else. She's also a talented lifter and could serve as a decent fitness coach. Beyond that, her skills are limited. She does know a few self-defense techniques though - learned at the behest of her career team, of course.[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie's Arcana grants her the obvious enhanced physicality as well as a handful of magical effects that reside within the Water and Psychic elements.[list][*][u]Swerve[/u] [Psychic]: Enables the user to alter the accuracy of attacks that she focuses on through an invisible psychic beam - hindering her foes or aiding her allies. 
[*][u]Detainment Bubble[/u] [Psychic/Water]: Creates a tear-shaped bubble of psychically-infused water a few meters across to capture enemies or their attacks. She can control and manipulate this bubble as she pleases, and can expel its contents violently - enabling her to send attacks back at opponents. She can only hold something in the bubble for around six seconds before it destabilizes. When idle, the bubble floats next to the user.
[*][u]Frost Bite[/u] [Water]: The user summons water before it bursts into flaky white snow, which falls into her hands in the shape of dual Frost-axes. They function as normal axes, but inflict a painful slowing effect onto those they wound.
[*][u]Bellow[/u] [Psychic]: Releases a powerful boom of sound that violently concusses anything in a four-meter cone from the user. The bellow grows stronger the emptier the cone's area is, so it is extremely disruptive against projectile attacks, making them fly very much off-course - but even one person being within its area will weaken it to just a moderate concussive blast that's capable of rendering civilians unconscious, and stun Persona users with a deafening toll. Can also be cast as a stationary trap which will trigger intelligently via the user's whims.
[/list][/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Arcana[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Aaxie is blessed by the Arcana of Temperance - featuring the compromises she endures in life, the duality of her desires and her true destiny, and the synthesis of realization that is to come.[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Shadow[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]The Shadow of Aaxie's psyche is formed through her nigh-crippling fears of rejection and outstanding failure that she keeps at bay deep down. Despite the success of her career, she still is very much afraid of being suddenly shunned by everyone. She disappointed her parents in her younger days and felt how hurtful it was to be unappreciated, and the memory of that urges her to chase a twisted compromise of her own dreams.

The regular form of her shadow is simply an ichor reflection of Aaxie's own visage, albeit dressed a little more biker-y. However, the 'monstrous' form of her shadow is a bit more unnerving, as it forms into a featureless, robotic mannequin of sorts. The face is blank yet somehow glaring, offering only an invisible stare and hushed yet coarse musical cords flowing through a small speaker that replaces its mouth.[/indent]
[color=C2B04D][b][u]Persona[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talos]Talos[/url], The Bronze Automaton.[/i]
Talos represents the epitome of being what you are destined to be. Talos was created to protect, and that he did. Aaxie's destiny seems to be that of a singer - but one must realize their destiny in its entirety to truly reach their potential - hence, her Persona is a defective manifestation of The Bronze Automaton. He takes an old, alien [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/1303bdc3-8498-48de-be62-90f8d099765d.png]form[/url] of dusty bronze and ancient materials - tubular vessels lay exposed at his joints, housing the magical energy that runs through his body. Dirty, scratched plates of bygone metals form the exterior of his body, and a blank, wearied face plate appears ever-watchful to its surroundings.

In its current defective form, Talos still possesses a great hardiness, offering him minor resistances to Earth and Psychic elements, and major resistances to the Air and Water elements. He is, however, very vulnerable to the fire element.
Aside from Talos' immense strength and fortitude, he has a solid grasp on his raw ability to manipulate the magical forms of the Air element, and the physical forms of the Earth element, putting them to great use defensively and offensively.[/indent]

[hider=Nicolae]

[b][color=#e2b563][u][h2] Nicolae Haspe [/h2][/u][/color]
[color=e2b563]∷ [color=fefefe]Male[/color] ∷
∷ [color=fefefe]66[/color] ∷
∷ [color=fefefe]Liaison Officer / Linguistics[/color] ∷[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][b][color=#e2b563][u]Appearance[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae is, put quite simply, unmistakable. Standing at a striking 6'5"(198cm) tall and sporting a broad, strapping physique, he's more often than not immediately registered by everyone in his direct vicinity. He is an older gentleman in his mid-60s who appears rather well put-together. His collarbone-length, cream-colored hair is almost always held up in a fluffy ponytail. His face is framed by an attentively managed beard, and features a pair of discerning, wizened eyes.

Nicolae likes to, in exaggeration, make a joke of how he's "more machine than man". Most would probably disagree, on the basis that he is [i]quite a lot of man[/i], but it [i]is[/i] undeniable that his prostheses are just as conspicuous as the rest of him. His most obvious prosthetic sits in replacement of his throat - an apparatus which renders him capable of speaking and, in part, breathing. While the unassuming design is easy enough to overlook visually, none could ever audibly mistake Nicolae for another. His voice could aptly be described as a cavernous, raspy bass - one hard to miss, even in a whisper. He furthermore possesses a prosthetic arm that begins just below his left elbow, and a similar prosthetic that replaces his left leg, starting just below the knee.

It is certainly true that if one were to not know him very well, Nicolae could certainly [i]seem[/i] an imposing figure, if judged through appearance alone.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Personality[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae's character stands as a stark contrast to his imposing appearance. He possesses a matey, stalwart disposition who most swear he could leverage to get on the good side of a crocodile. While his resting face might seem like he'd judge you for breathing the wrong way, he is actually a receptive man who can't help but embrace those around him. Sometimes psychically. Such a hospitable nature serves him well in his capacity as a negotiator and cooperator aboard the Arcadian, lending him an edge in his duties. And dutiful, he is. One might not expect it from a man as seemingly care-free as Nicolae, but an extensive and long career in the military has ingrained in him an unshakeable sense of obligation towards any task he is assigned - personally or otherwise. Faltering is simply not an option when someone is depending on him.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Role[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae serves as Liaison Officer aboard the Arcadian. Such a role sees him organizing cooperation and mediation between other departments. He and his subordinates serve as a foundation through which other divisions solicit or address eachother, in large part. He ensures information flows and relationships remain in working order, as to allow the other branches to focus on their various undertakings to the best of their ability.

Additionally, Nicolae operates in a more civilian capacity as the ship's Linguistics specialist. Such a role primarily anchors itself in the need to translate between entities that might not speak the same language. As a polyglot and a capable teacher, Nicolae is well-suited to such a position. He speaks English, Romanian, Korean, Mandarin, and Russian fluently. He also speaks a handful of other languages well enough to mostly understand them, but not well enough to speak them in conversation unbutchered.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Skills[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae is a simple man, with simple capabilities.

Aside from a vast body of military and life experience, he has admittedly little in the way of outstanding skills. He made a fine soldier in his younger years - and likely still could, if he were put to the test - but he holds more value in his potential as a leader and social lighthouse, of sorts. His sense of insight and emotional instinct accord him the ability to function as a rock for those who need one. His fatherly nature melts boundaries in a way that makes it feel like he was always there. Aside from his social skills, he is an incredibly fit and athletic man. He outshines even those who are much, [i]much[/i] younger than him, at least when it comes to raw power. His stamina does suffer a bit, naturally, due to his age.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Personal Belongings/Equipment[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae doesn't have much in the way of important personal belongings, aside from a few trinkets left behind by his wife, both their wedding rings, an array of tools he uses to manage his prosthetics, and a collection of medals from his military career.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Background[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Having lived a life as long is Nicolae has, one might expect him to have some glorious backstory to tell. And perhaps he does have a few good tales.. but in brief, his life is a relatively mundane one. As someone who has spent little time outside of Earth's atmosphere, Nicolae has never experienced any of the exciting episodes of the new frontier and whatnot. In fact, he was a young man who settled down pretty early in life. He was in his mid twenties when he stumbled upon his soulmate, the now-late Min-Ji Haspe. He led a military life, mostly living on-base with Min-Ji. He was a bright young man with noble aspirations - to serve his country in making his region a better place for their people - and Min-Ji supported him in that goal. He was a man who took any opportunity to better himself and the position of his nation. This led, in his following [i]forty[/i] years of service, to him receiving merit after merit for his military efforts and his continued excellence.

But the ride was not an entirely smooth one. While his first dozen or so years of service were his most progressive, they were also his happiest. And that was due to Min-Ji. As strong and capable as Nicolae was, she was his rock. She made it all worthwhile. But all good things come to an end. An attack on the base in which they lived was all it took to shatter an otherwise perfect life. In one abrupt stroke, his world was engulfed in an incendiary strike that, cruelly, claimed only one life - Min-Ji's. He scarred and wounded himself beyond repair in his desperate attempt to save her, but it was in vain.

It was some time before he was whole again. Both physically and emotionally. He was fitted with top-of-the-line prosthetics that allowed him to return to life as he knew it - or, at least, as close as he could get. Now in his late thirties, the following few years of rehabilitation left him ample time to reflect on how his life would be after Min-Ji. He had more than half a mind to give up. But he knew that Min-Ji would want better of him. And only through that thought did he find the will to pick himself up and limp on.

And limp he did, at first. Eventually though, he found it in himself to live on again as he felt Min-Ji would've wanted him to. In due course, he returned in full capacity to his military career. He was well received, especially as he eventually picked up where he left off. In most recent years, he has cooled down in his direct military involvement and has pseudo-retired - too bent on being helpful to [i]really[/i] pass along the torch. As he has grown older and more reflective, though, he has found himself feeling that something is...missing. He obviously cant fill every void within him - but perhaps in a new environment he can find a truly fulfilling purpose.

He [i]did[/i] have to pull a few strings though, to have himself added to the crew, with as little experience as he's had in space.[/color][/indent]
