Name: Tsultrim Drupa

Age: 20

Nationality: Tibetan

Noble Arm Name & Appearance:


Noble Arm Rank: C+

Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee focus, with Ranged capability

Noble Arm Abilities:
Compassionate Fist: Tsultrim is able to channel his inner spirituality into his strikes, augmenting their offensive capability to superhuman heights. As the compassion of a Bodhisattva is limitless, so too is the compassionate fist: as long as Tsultrim has sight of his foe, he is able to strike, although it is considerably more difficult to land a blow.

Shield of Wisdom: Tsultrim is able to project his inner spirituality outside his body in the form of powerful shields (usually emitted from his palms). Although capable of withstanding significant punishment, Tsultrim has not yet achieved enlightenment and therefore the power of his shields are not absolute and are capable of being broken.

Courageous Heart: The path to Bodhisattva requires the perfection of body, soul and mind. Therefore, the body must be trained to be unyielding. Applying this teaching, Tsultrim's seated his spirituality in his physical self in addition to his inner self, rendering his body difficult to harm and quick to heal. However, Tsultrim is far from achieving enlightenment, and thus is not invincible.

Misc Abilities: Bodybuilding, housekeeping, multilingualism, calligraphy, luohan quan (buddhist martial art)

Personality: Serious and imperturbable, Tsultrim is every inch the prototypical Buddhist monk. He has a strong work ethic; he never shies away from something that must be done, and is seldom seen in ill-temper. Tsultrim is surprisingly perceptive, although typically laconic and impassive by nature. His entire life he has been brought up in the teachings of the Buddha, and thus his ideals are heavily steeped in Buddhist teachings.

*Likes: He enjoys quiet meditation and training. Calligraphy is also a hobby, and helps him memorize the suttas.

*Dislikes: Disruptive social settings (think screaming children). Cruelty and senseless violence. Authoritarianism.

Fears: Not attaining Buddhahood, drowning.

Bio: An orphan at birth, Tsultrim never met his parents. As an infant he was left outside of a Buddhist monastery in Tibet, and was raised entirely by the monks living there. Tsultrim thus views many of the senior and elder monks as family figures. Until recently, he had never left his home monastery, wholeheartedly devoting himself to the teachings of the Buddha. Increasing encroachments by the Chinese government on the liberty of the Tibetan people, especially monastic buddhists, has convinced Tsultrim of the need to pursue a foreign education in order to protect his homeland. With the support of his fellow monks, he enrolled in Trinidad Academy and has since been working diligently to raise his student rank so he may participate in the Noble Arms Summit Student Tournament. (Since he was a monk from birth I'm not sure on how I want to expand on this yet, but I am working on it and hope that this is enough for now.)

*Current Goal: Long term: progress on the path of enlightenment; grow powerful and influential enough to liberate Buddhist monasteries from Chinese rule and perhaps all of Tibet as well. Short term: increase student rank and participate in the Noble Arms Summit Student Tournament.

Student Rank: 472

Name: Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin

Age: 18

Nationality: Russian

Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Imperial Fists - A pair of floating hands made of stark white stone. They glow a ghostly green whenever they are in use.


Noble Arm Rank: B
Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Ranged/Retaliation/Close to Long Range

Noble Arm Abilities:

Consecration: Nikolay is able to command the Fists to his whim. Thus, he can use them for manipulating/holding objects and directly attacking assailants.

Retribution: The Fists are capable of absorbing and emitting energy from attacks directed against their wielder. They have an upper limit of absorption of up to the power of a single lightning bolt, though this is not known at this time. The Fists emit the energy that they receive in the following ways:
- Kinetic: Concussive Blasts/Increased Punching Force
- Fire: Fireballs/Firestreams
- Magic: Energy beams
- Radiation: Focused rays
- Electricity: Tesla bolts

Retribution is not without its faults. The Fists are tied directly to the user's state of mind; as such, losing focus or even just mere hesitation can cause them to stop whatever they are doing. They will also crack if they take in too much power, forcing them to return to the pocket dimension to regenerate.

Fortification: The Fists project an energy field in a radius of up to 20 meters for defense. This, however, drains energy the longer it is used, and is thus impractical for continual usage.

Misc Abilities:
Pretenseful Voice: He is able to switch accents at will, allowing him to present himself as an American, Englishman, or a Scotsman.

High Level Intelligence: He excels in most subjects, though he detests mathematics.

Personality: Nikolay Andreevich is a rather literal minded boy, as he often fails to comprehend idioms and metaphorical remarks. He usually takes words at face value, and as a result, is often the last person to understand a joke.

Despite this, however, he is quite intelligent and persevering, spending more time on books and writing than anything else. When out in the world, he is rather socially awkward and often speaks in sentence fragments. However, when in private with his close circle of friends, he can be seen as boisterous, insane even. He is quite affectionate towards his friends, and there has never been a time when he forgot anyone's birthday. Nikolay also does NOT like going solo, and prefers to do things together.
*Likes: Cats, Pizzas, the French, and hugs (and kisses).

*Dislikes: Communism, broccoli, mayonnaise, and most politicians.

Fears: Being abandoned.

Bio: Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin was born in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the provincial capital of the Sakhalin Oblast in the Russian Far East north of Japan. He was the elder of two siblings, as he was older than his sister by three years. One look at his family immediately betrays the terrible kind of early life that he had in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk; his father, Pavel, was a massive alcoholic, a prime specimen of a casualty of Russia's crippling problem of alcoholism that has afflicted the nation ever since the Soviet Union fell. There were times when his father didn't return for days, and when he did, all he would do was sleep, and then demand more money from Nikolay's mother to satiate his addiction to vodka. While all of this was going on, Nikolay found refuge and companionship in the Internet, where it seemed that strangers from across the planet had far more compassion and understanding than his own alcohol addled father. In his spare time in between school and home, he would go out to the fields of Sakhalin, immersing himself in the tranquility of the wilds beyond civilization.

This continued until Nikolay was 16, when his mother, Katya, had enough, and moved along with her son and daughter to her parents in Vladivostok, leaving Pavel in Sakhalin to waste away. However, upon arrival in Vladivostok, they were robbed almost immediately as a thief snatched Katya's purse. It was at this time that Nikolay finally managed his Noble Arm as two hands of pure white rushed out of a portal and dragged the thief back towards them.

Word quickly got out, and his mother was elated to see that her son was indeed one of the gifted. Russia's own Noble Arm Universities called, but Trinidad University was closer to Vladivostok and thus was the first to send an invite. Nikolay looked upon a mother brimming with pride and a sister that will miss him very much, and swore to do his best as a student in Trinidad...

*Current Goal: Attain the best version of himself.

Name: Fredrick Jones

Age: 45

Nationality: American

Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Blue Quill



Noble Arm Rank: C

Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee; Spirit; Close-Range

Noble Arm Abilities:

Shared world: Fredrick can touch people with Blue Quill. Within 10 seconds of touching someone he can put them under either an individual or group illusion that he creates with his imagination. Before Fredrick can put someone under the influence of Shared World he must have said a key word in the last 10 seconds towards them or a group including them. The key word is also how any person under the effect can leave the shared world by saying the key word. A key word has to be a singular word. The illusion he can create is either programmed or he can enter the world with them and shape it there. The illusion can last up to 2 minutes if the participant isn't a willing participant. If they are a willing participant then it can last up to 3 hours. A participant can change their mind at any point if they are willing or not willing. Fredrick can show them anything he wants inside Shared world. He can simulate the senses in there as well. However there physical body will always remain unaffected by this. The illusion cast on someone, whether willing or not, is broken is they are hit in the real word with the force of a slap or more.

Personality: Frederick is inclined to be more introverted however teaching seems to be his way of expressing himself. He is quick to get wrapped up in a conversation on history. He doesn't like putting a huge wall between himself and his students. So it wouldn't be odd to see him playing his guitar before or in between classes.

Likes: Guitar, Teaching, Learning, Antiques, History, Debates, Games

Dislikes: Grading, Fighting, Entitlement

Fears: Failing when it matters

Bio:Born in Savannah, Georgia, Fredrick was raised by a loving family that was moderately well off. His father was a carpenter and general contractor. His father had Fredrick work with him on weekends and breaks. Fredrick enjoyed it but what he really enjoyed was making money from it. His father had got Fredrick into antiques. A weird interest at a young age but the past seemed to intrigue him and items from those times were ever interesting to the young man. He saved up money and got an antique pocket watch. Frankly it made him like a dick in middle school and high school, but honestly he didn't care.

During his sophomore year he was pretend sword fighting with his buddy Anthony during lunch. Anthony knocked the stick out of his hand and his noble arm just came out of nowhere. Honestly getting it was a bit of a hassle if he was being honest. He had to get registered and all that, random places were vying for his attention, and he was treated differently by some. He decided to ignore it for now and jump into his studies.

He received a full ride to Harvard and there he studied history and politics. It was during that time he began to mess with his noble arms. He realized it could create illusions out of his imagination. He found it as an excellent tool to help himself and others in studying, being able to literally replay lectures or show the abstract in real life. He decided he wanted to be a teacher at that point. He finished up college and trained to become a teacher. He taught at the University of Georgia for a few years when he got a job offer at Trinidad Academy. Frederick took the job opportunity in a heartbeat. He learned Filipino in about 8 months. Now he is there teaching history.

*Current Goal: Inspire people to follow their dreams

Name: Hailey Leena Strassen

Age: 17

Nationality: American-German

Noble Arm Name & Appearance: Vaeth’s Malice


Vaeth’s Malice is a six feet in length Scythe weapon. It has a dark presence surrounding it, which it feels alive as if its wielding the wielder. The weapon itself has always been ever watchful since it has two eyes, which keep in eye contact with whom it is watching. It usually relishes in the demise of people it deems requires death.

Noble Arm Rank: C

Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range: Melee | Dual-Element (Dark and Wind) | Close to Mid-Ranged (80 Yards)

Noble Arm Abilities: The weapon manifests as itself, which it conveys a nature of dread, death or awaiting for someone to die. As well, this manifesting ability surrounds the wielder in a dark fog, which rolled in from utterly nowhere. The Bright Red Eyes glows within the Dark Fog and they move searching for someone within the fog, it brought. There’s eerily a hint of laughter that goes quieter when the dark fog slowly vanishes or if the wind picks up.

Vaeth’s Shadow Slash

The Blade of the Scythe changes its shape, size, and starts changing its color from its perfect metal sheen to a dark obsidian color; in terms of the blade’s size it grows one size larger. When it releases the element energy it stored, which it released a similar sized black crescent shaped attack towards people. This attack stops at its maximum range of Mid-Ranged, which is good. At the same time of the release of the attack, the wielder is put into a large jolt of pain to make them cry. The weapon only wants to do is spill blood and watch people die. It usually causes the nervous system to go out of wack, which will cause paralysis but it only lasts six seconds.

The Sorrowful Winds

The Wielder is forced to start spinning Vaeth’s Malice, faster and faster until it starts effecting the movement of the wind. The noise the wind makes as its being effected by Vaeth’s Malice is an intense deeply hidden emotion within the wielder of feeling as they are being pricked and prodded everywhere on their body. It forms a barrier of wind surrounding the wielder but the wind was pushed away in a blasting gust. The Gust’s wind speed is 35 mph, additionally the effect of the billowing effect of this entire ability. Will usually cause the wielder to cry uncontrollably as if wielder remembered something awful.

The Watched, Waited and Demise

Veath’s Malice uses its eyes to watch specifically the wielder, and one other person its delighted to watch. It’s patience is legendary since it always wants to see when someone breathes their last breath. The encouraging words from it to its wielder usually try to make sure the wielder understands one thing. That its helping them to become what they so deserve, but underneath the veneer and encouraging words is always an ulterior motive. In that case, it usually allows the wielder to use it instead of the other way around if it gave very encouraging advice. But in essence, the wielder is a puppet to its will of seeing them hurt and others.

Misc Abilities:

• Passable Cook – She can cook passable meals since its required of her to do this now and then. Its something she likes doing in her spare time.
• Singer – She is a pretty good singer for a girl her age, which is saying something. It’s probably because she got her mother’s singing voice.
• Hailey’s Brightness – In terms of this misc. ability is mostly because she’s the kindest person and always the brightest. Even though she always look like there’s something wrong with her. She always looks for the positivity instead of the negativity.
• Clumsy – She’s naturally off balance, its probably have to do something with that dark cloud hanging over her head...

Personality: Hailey always tries to be the center of attention, even when it backfires sometimes on her badly. She has a massive black cloud hanging over her, but she has no real idea why. Its probably because she doesn’t want to remember all the bad memories in the back of her head. However, she has modestly high middle class type flare to her. It doesn’t help she does get a bit moody when someone asks what’s wrong and she tells them off. She constantly apologizes to every single person she offends with her outburst of anger. Its in her nature to make friends and not making enemies.

*Likes: Boys, Talking, Singing, History, Urban Legends, Calming Music, Cooking, Sweets and Friendship.

*Dislikes: Distractions, Interruptions, Spoiled Brats, Science.

Fears: Dying Alone and her Memories

Bio: Hailey was born to Caroline Irene Strassen and Victor Ethan Strassen in Kansas City, Kansas. In terms of the Strassen Family, they finally got the one thing they wanted for so long, a child. They were a bit rigorous in how they were raising her because of their need to protect her. However, her parents allowed her to coast throughout most of her life because they were very happy. This family was content with their lives, the mother was hopeful she could get her daughter into a singer’s course. While her father wanted her to join him at the bakery when she gets older. Hailey wanted to please her family so much that she agreed to take turns in learning each thing. Its always better to have a happy family than a grumpy one even though she was a bit spoiled at this moment.

Hailey was happy just coasting through life, which she was in a bit of shock. The School she was going to recognized how good she was at singing, which she was allowed to sing for the entire school for a fundraiser. The Fundraiser was supposed to raise an amount of money for charities involving sick children. She did sing for the school for this charity fundraiser, even though it would’ve been better to get her mother to do it. The funds needed to be raised was gotten in less than three hours only because of very generous patrons that were impressed with her singing. However, she learned really quickly the one who put the school up with this was her own mother Caroline. It shocked her but she didn’t want to be surprised again, it was a bit annoying to be stuck in school for longer than needed.

In terms of all good things must come to an end and that end happened when Hailey manifested her Noble Arm within her home, one day. Hailey has no recollection of that day’s events because it was a bit too traumatic for her to remember. It caused her to basically be kicked out of her home and forced to go to Trinidad Noble Arms Academy in the Philippines by her own father. This was utterly heartbreaking for this family since Victor wasn’t really that happy about the whole situation. How was no one in the Government able to respond when that happened, he was utterly disappointed in his country. However, he did one last nice thing to his daughter and that was he will give her an allowance since she’ll be living somewhere far away.

The likelihood she’ll never see or hear from her father again because of something that happened. It hurt her more than anything, which did cause her to cry while she was flying her way to Philippines. However, she’s very afraid of what had happened has to involve why she cannot remember what so ever. In terms of what happened the day her Noble Arm awakened, which scares her to no end. She guess it took a lot of out of her when it first awakened or something.

*Current Goal: She wants to do her best in Trinidad Noble Academy and stop coasting through life as she had been. However, she has a longer goal that is probably going to take a very long time to achieve since she needs to know what had happen but she’s too scared to know and dislikes her memories too much. She must get over that hurdle to finally be able to go through the memories, which will hurt her but she needs to know what had happened or she’ll never get rid of this dark cloud over her head.
