She’s been tasked with ensuring Pax remains stable and relatively monster free. She also has full permissions to use the agents to further her research. Don’t worry, she won’t experiment on you. That’s what Binky, her lab assistant, is for. [i]“Why yes, Binky. ‘Good monsters’ must exist. But I think they had the common sense to not come to this world. Furthermore, we would not call them monsters if they didn’t go out of their way to earn that title themselves.”[/i] [/hider][hider=Binky: Veronica's Punching Bag] [center][color=baddab]Binky[/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4C05Sl8.png[/img] 22 | Female | Gemini | Raid Boss(?)[/center] A specialist esper who frequently assists Veronica with her research. Often works as an operator when Veronica is unable to personally manage Gemini agents, or acts as a second operator for a second squad during larger missions. Seldom participates in operations directly and never without Veronica's orders. Doesn't seem to have Veronica's respect regardless. [i]“I dont want to think about the monster problem right now. I made my choice a long time ago. Questioning it now would just invite miserly.”[/i] [/hider][hider=Su: Dragon Breecher] [indent][color=peachpuff][b]NAME:[/b][/color] [indent]Su Fang [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]AGE:[/b][/color] [indent]32 [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]SEX:[/b][/color] [indent]Female [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]APPEARANCE:[/b][/color] [indent]Su is a Chinese woman who stands quite tall even out of her esper form. Her shoulder length hair is black in color, and she's packing quite a bit of muscle as well. Her body doesn't change much between her true and esper forms. Aside from the addition of horns and a dragon's tail, and then her hair turns a light blue color to match her new additions.

She wears it at all times, often under her clothes. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]INSTRUMENT:[/b][/color] Bipartisan [indent] Bipartisan is a [u]large[/u] caliber hand gun paired with a steel riot shield. No extra frills. It's awkward to manage, but Su's accuracy doesn't suffer. GRADE: Silver KEYWORD: Handgun, Greatshield DAMAGE TYPE: Physical DAMAGE: C SPEED: E SENTINEL: B SPECIAL: Blast Zone: When the face of the shield slams into an opponent, it releases a small explosion of debris. This inflicts as much arcane damage as an E grade damage note. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]STYLE:[/b][/color] Dragon Breacher [indent]Exactly what it says on the tin. Su's esper form gives her dragon-like features and arms her like like a member of SWAT GRADE: Silver PHYSICAL: D ARCANE: D CHAOS: C SPECIAL: Kevlar Vest: Su's Kevlar vest and draconic nature make her more resistant to ballistics. Bullets aimed at her torso are less likely to harm her. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]GENRE:[/b][/color] Debris [indent]Most dragons have a breath attack that is based in one element or the other. For Su, it's less what her breath is made out of and more what it might throw your way. GRADE: Bronze ELEMENT: Wind NOTES: [Storm, Flight], Push, Pull, Construct, Purify, Restrain, Damage SPECIAL: Locally Sourced: Su's spells manifest as debris in the area, and thus have a different appearance depending on where she is. Rubble from buildings, dirt from a forest floor, all weaponized by Su's magic. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]LEITMOTIF:[/b][/color] Steel Gaze [indent]It's not polite to stare, but there's something about Su's eyes that can't be enjoyed with just a glance. Who knows what this glamor might evolve into? GRADE: Bronze SPECIAL: Su's iris's are slightly larger than normal. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]BACKUP:[/b][/color] Affection Confection [indent] Mika is just a regular teenage girl, but there seems to be something magical in the cookies she makes. Or maybe this is just a mother talking up their child's cooking. Regardless, the effects it bestows on Su are very real.

[/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]PR:[/b][/color] Dragon's Hoard [indent]Despite the name, it's really just a bunch of fairly normal items you would expect a member of SWAT to be packing. GRADE: Silver GEAR: Clip light, Kevlar vest, Kevlar padding, 3X Handcuffs, Tazer SPECIAL: The clip light has a black light function, allowing it to show blood stains, urine, etc that have been cleaned up. This can also reveal hidden messages and the like that someone might have left for a black light to find. [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]FACTION:[/b][/color] [indent]Gemini Agents [/indent] [color=peachpuff][b]TRIVIA:[/b][/color] [indent] Su left china for the land of opportunity when she was in her late twenties. She barely understood English, but had some help from her family overseas to guide her on the path to success. One of the toughest barriers to overcome is that of becoming a US citizen. Without citizenship, many high end jobs simply aren't applicable to people in her position. While someone with a green card can live in America for five years as a permanent resident to acquire citizenship, one of the fastest ways was to serve in the military for a single year. That, too, had its share of barriers to break through. But once she got in, she knew it would be smooth sailing. Because Su had a secret weapon. Her family passed down an artifact through the ages that allowed one to acquire power mortal men cannot wield: The power of an esper. Once the top brass discovered her hidden powers, she was move into project GEMINI, where they could make better use of her ability to slay monsters. During her travels, she discovered and adopted a young runaway who she's been raising as her own daughter. Su is a "tiger mom," complete with a thick Chinese accent. Not only is she a strict mother to her only child, but she brings her temperament into missions too. As strict and overbearing as she can be, it's only because she wants to make sure everyone comes home safe. She won't budge if it breaks protocol, but Su is reserved enough that she can remain calm and civil in almost any situation. Being anal about protocol aside, Su is usually pretty easy going outside of missions. Su doesn't have any real hobbies. When she's not on a mission, she's training. And when she's not training, she's probably spending some quality time with her daughter. There isn't time for anything else.

He houses as many as he can, provided they seem like reasonable souls. [i]“Now see here, there are only three things I care about: Muscle cars, fine woman, and black leather.

She's thin, pale, wears alluring outfits, and doesn't do a lot to avoid the gaze of lusty men. Her esper form transforms her into a mystical jester.

It's not very practical as a weapon, but it does make it easier for Luna to tap into her magic. GRADE: Silver KEYWORD: Staff DAMAGE TYPE: Arcane DAMAGE: D SPEED: B SENTINEL: D SPECIAL: Win some, Lose some: When Luna attacks and hits with the first shot from Pit Boss, a D20 is rolled to determine the type of buff/debuff that will be associated with the attack. 1 and 20: ALL 2-7: SENTINEL 8-13: SPEED 14-19: DAMAGE On an even number, the associated Stat will be ranked up. On an odd number, the target of the attack will have their stat ranked down. Lasts a single round.

GRADE: Bronze PHYSICAL: E ARCANE: C CHAOS: D SPECIAL: Graceful: Luna can float a few inches off the ground if she's standing still. It's not enough to soften hard falls, traverse difficult terrain, or avoid floor based hazzards.

[indent] 1: CRITTICLE FAILURE! The spell backfires, instead becoming [self][AOE][Push] with Luna's throwing hand as an origin. The original mana cost must still be paid. 2: Static electricity causes Luna's hair to frizz out. Lasts six seconds. 3: Luna stumbles! and her SPEED stat goes down a rank for six seconds! 4: The melody and any of its area effects smell like old socks. 5: Why so hot? also cast [self][ignite] on Luna's hand at no mana cost. 6: Luna's skin turns blue for 6 seconds. 7: Hurry up! [Delay] is added to the melody, right after the cast note. The time is always two seconds, and does not increase the spell's cost. 8: Luna feels a mild pain in her fingers after casting the melody. 9: Why so expensive? Each note in the melody gain +1 difficulty. 10: Luna grins, and her teeth are crooked! 11: Luna grins, and her teeth are pretty! 12: That was cheap! The melody has a [Homing] note added on for free. 13: She can't help but say "Yas Queen!" 14: Super speed! The melody has a [Contract] note added on for free. 15: Luna's eyes sparkle in an alluring way for 6 seconds. 16: Well that was interesting! [Minor Heal] or [Restrain] note is added to melody for free. 17: Any visual effects tied to the melody are gold colored. 18: That's a good spell! Spell is a rank higher than normal. 19: Luna glows with a divine radiance, then returns to normal. 20: CRITTICLE SUCCESS! The melody's cost is cut in half. Luna may cast a second melody simultaneously at the normal cost. [/indent] [/indent] [color=75c159][b]LEITMOTIF:[/b][/color] Fortune [indent]Luna's finances are all over the place. Gotta be careful investing in stocks. SPECIAL: If Luna needs to pay for something, a twenty sided dice is rolled to decide what's on her person. 1: $ 2.76 2-7: $ 27.60 8-13: $ 55.20 14-19: $ 110.40 20: $ 1104.37 [/indent] [color=75c159][b]BACKUP:[/b][/color] Fly Away [indent] Trixy can hook a sister up with some interesting drugs. They can get you high, make you feel light headed, AND are well suited for combat.

[/indent] [color=75c159][b]PR:[/b][/color] Snake Eyes [indent] Hiding in plain site is important for Maverick Espers. As much as Tetrad likes to stand out, Luna knows enough to keep her head down when she's out of the esper state. GRADE: Silver GEAR: Tazer, Disguise, Kevlar Coat, Kevlar Padding SPECIAL: Luna's disguise comes with a face covering, wig, colored contacts, and a makeup kit. She is considered to have identity protection even out of the esper state. People who are familiar with Luna may recognize her from attributes that are not related to her appearance, such as her voice, handwriting, specific gestures, etc. [/indent] [color=75c159][b]FACTION:[/b][/color] [indent]Maverick Alternative [/indent] [color=75c159][b]TRIVIA:[/b][/color] [indent] Luna was always left to her own devices as a child. Her father was a professional gambler, and tended to travel a lot. Her mother had been badly injured doing her job, and wasn't as mobile as she used to be. She could still move around the house, but it was an ordeal to get in and out of a car, and it wasn't like her father's money was consistent enough that they could just buy something with a wheelchair lift. Luna needed to become somewhat independent, biking or driving herself to where she needed to go. Something she got into during her last years of high school was gambling. It was illegal on the premises, but she'd arrange spots for people to show up and gamble with her. She learned how to tip the scales in her favor (doesn't that sound better than cheating) and quickly learned that by acting friendly and looking her best, people were less likely to suspect any foul play. One time someone was so desperate to gamble they threw in a game of UNO as collateral. This amused Luna, who accepted it and subsequently won. She was ready to stash it away as a simple trophy, but it turned out to be much more than she could have ever imagined. But what was a delinquent like herself to do with all this power? Shortly after acquiring her powers, she realized there was a monster that was actively sabotaging her mother's ability to heal. It was her first real fight, and while the monster was weak, she was equally inexperienced. Fortunately, another esper was nearby to assist. They were able to recover Luna's mangled body and bring her before Billy. Once they had her all healed up, Billy explained the supernatural world to her, how it was filled with monsters both good and evil. He also told her how it was not always possible to spot if a monster was good or evil right away. The monster had kept her mother crippled for years, but it might have just been doing the bare minimum to survive. After meditating on this, Luna decided to join Maverick alternative.

He has perfect posture and often has his lips pulled back into a toothy grin. It wouldn't be hard to picture him fronting a boy band. There's hardly a difference when he changes into an esper. Though the alit horn on his head really sells him as a demonic prince. Don't worry guys, he's got a sister that's equally attractive. But this sheet isn't about her.

GRADE: Gold KEYWORD: Hands, Greatshield DAMAGE TYPE: Arcane DAMAGE: C SPEED: D SENTINEL: A SPECIAL: Rocksteady. Elroy can't be moved if he blocks an attack with his shield or fists. Think captain America's vibronium shield. [/indent] [color=c9272c][b]STYLE:[/b][/color] Mount Fuji [indent]Elroy's body should be covered in scars. But he is a volcano, and the blows he's had to endure have chiseled him into a masterpiece. GRADE: Diamond PHYSICAL: C ARCANE: B CHAOS: C SPECIAL: Living Volcano. Elroy’s body is human in many ways, but his flesh is as hard as a cliff side. For all purposes, he might as well be considered a stone golem. He doesn’t bruise, tire, or need to keep up functions of living creatures like breathing and circulating blood (or lava). If a wound would cause him to bleed, it instead bleeds lava. [/indent] [color=c9272c][b]GENRE:[/b][/color] Eruption [indent]Like any volcano, Elroy can conjure the power of flowing magma. The burning life blood of the earth that cools into black obsidian. GRADE: Silver ELEMENT: Fire NOTES: [Ignight , Heat Insulation] Damage, Damage X, Push, Heal, Trap, Puddle, AoE, If Foe, Else SPECIAL: Heat shrink. If Elroy is under the effect of the Heat Insulation note, catching fire has a regenerative effect that can help close superficial wounds.

[/indent] [color=c9272c][b]FACTION:[/b][/color] [indent]The Freelancers [/indent] [color=c9272c][b]TRIVIA:[/b][/color] [indent]The Bates twins are pretty much the rockstars of the esper world. They're competent, upper echelon espers that all other espers want to with, or want to be like. Particularly those in the freelance scene that want to make a big splash and stop living paycheck to paycheck. Their story is one you've heard countless times. They were just two teenagers that were a bit different from everyone else, and had to tolerate excessive bullying. They were red heads with excessive acne outbreaks, and proffered the company of comic books to that of actual people. While they enjoyed comics of all kinds, manga really resonated with them. The foreign stories were unlike anything they had ever experienced, and they would have been so much happier living there without their current problems. One day, they decided that they were going to learn how to play music. So they went to a music shop to buy instruments. Maybe fate was calling them, maybe they had been left there, or perhapse it could have even been dumb luck. But there was a manga that neither twin had seen before. When they opened it up, someone had used a few guitar pics as a bookmark. The music shop owner had owned the book, and decided to let the kids part with it since he was so taken back with how gingerly they handled the book. But the guitar pics nestled inside were not normal. They were grimoires, and the twins were able to start their lives of stardom immediately. While Elroy's looks make teenage girls swoon just by existing, the words that come out of his mouth are seldom as attractive. He's not one to swear, but it's hard to tell if his insults or his attacks hit harder in a fight. It's not uncommon for him to offer backhanded complements, point out ironies, or anything else that might irk the person he's speaking with. It's not always apparent if he's being playful or genuinely scornful. Elroy likes to smile. Even in dire situations he usually manages to keep his pearly whites visible, like a lighthouse in the dark. It's rare to see him make any other kind of facial expression, especially if he's in public. If he isn't smiling, something is probably [i]really[/i] bothering him. He doesn't just look like the member of a boy band. Elroy can play the guitar, sing, and pretends to tour America while doing his duty as an esper. If he ever retires from his duties as an esper, he'll likely go into performing full time.

She dyes her hair pink and isn’t too discerning when it comes to what she wears. Suits, cocktail dresses, so long as it makes her look rich, cool, or cute, she couldn’t care less. Her esper form gives her a Miko outfit, and her movements become more beastly. Sometimes she will drop onto all fours and chase down her prey.

A katana with an edge as black as night, but shimmers like the stars. It is a ritualistic blade unfit for combat, but in Oros’s hands it’s just as capable as any weapon. GRADE: Diamond KEYWORD: Greatsword DAMAGE TYPE: Physical DAMAGE: A SPEED: S SENTINEL: E SPECIAL: Arcane Blight: Endless Eclipse can unmake any arcane effects it cuts through. Espers and monsters are stripped of positive melodies/spells, arcane barriers shatter like glass, and melodies can be denied if the projectile/beam/mark/whatever-cast-note-you-use is sliced through or her sword is inside the target. Area abilities like those made with zone and puddle notes can’t be cut, but their effects will stop working on anything Oros’s sword is presently cutting. Glamor specials and ranks granted from glamors are unaffected by Endless Eclipse.

GRADE: Diamond PHYSICAL: D ARCANE: A CHAOS: B SPECIAL: Number of the Beast: At will, Oros can ignore the damage from 6 attacks, deny 6 magical debuffs, and become invulnerable to all form of damage for 6 seconds. She recovers a single use/second of this special when cannibalizing a mundane target such as a human or animal, and one of each when doing so to a magical one such as a monster or esper. Alternatively, she can recharge all of her uses if she allows her mana to recover to maximum. [/indent] [color=tomato][b]GENRE:[/b][/color] Inner Beast [indent] Few would suspect such a pretty Miko could be tho host of such hideous beasts. Unless they were Oros the Mad. GRADE: Diamond ELEMENT: Nature NOTES: [Poison, Transform], Pull, Heal, Purify, Restrain, Pierce, Damage X, Blink, Portal, Bend, Transplace, Delay, Zone, Full Extend, Homing, Multi-Melody SPECIAL: Therianthropy: When Oros uses the [Transform] note, she can alter her anatomy to gain a special feature in place of the damage buff. The [Transform] note does not need to be part of a touch or self note to qualify for this option. The feature gained depends on the grade of the cast note, and a lesser quality special can be selected if desired. All effects last 6 seconds and can be extended with an [Extend] or [Full extend] note. Animal based specials can stack, but powers cannot. -Bronze: Situational animal based special (gills to breathe underwater, cat eyes for night vision) -Silver: Power of medium sized animal (Strength of an ape, speed of an emu) -Gold: Strong animal based special (extra organs for better survivability, resistances to special damage types like acid or poison, Poisons with additional functions) -Diamond: Power of a large animal (Strength of a bear, speed of an ostrich/horse) [/indent] [color=tomato][b]LEITMOTIF:[/b][/color] Meta Game [indent] Oros’s blade has the ability to show her visions from the past, present, and future, across dimensions.

Trust me, her sword is just like a crystal ball. Grade: Diamond SPECIAL: Oros is acutely aware of events that have and will transpire in the RP, and possibly even other RPs.

If two people are locked in the same pair of fuzzy cuffs, the one with the most fuzzy cuffs can use up to half of their "cuff-mate's" mana to cast a spell/melody. Fuzzy cuffs can be opened with a safe word of Oros's choosing. Otherwise they can only be damaged by attacks with a rank of B or greater. [/indent] [color=tomato][b]FACTION:[/b][/color] [indent]Depraved [/indent] [color=tomato][b]TRIVIA:[/b][/color] [indent] Like most depraved espers, there’s a lot of people who want Oros dead. It’s a reasonable sentiment, seeing as she openly claims to be serving a horror and doing what she can to summon them. Naturally, neither G.E.M.I.N.I. nor Maverick Alternative are okay with this, nor the freelancers they regularly employ for work. More powerful espers than her have been brought low by hunting parties, but her cunning makes her an elusive target to track. This would normally just be considered the ramblings of a mad woman or a joke in poor taste, but Oros [i]came[/i] from the elemental chaos. No one knows who she was when she entered, but Oros the Mad is all that’s left of them now. While most depraved try to fade into obscurity, Oros has recently done something that makes no sense for someone with her motivations. Pax Septimus was ruled by a self proclaimed queen who saw fit to let the local monster population do whatever it desired. This is certainly a good thing if you’re trying to summon a horror, but Oros went and put a stop to that. The resulting power vacuum has drawn in the factions along with many freelance espers looking to stay busy. Oros is pretty jovial for a cultist, if a bit rude. It’s not uncommon for her to poke fun at whoever she’s talking to, and she has a reputation for being something of an instigator. Though she’ll casually talk with other espers even if they are there to kill her.

While Penny may appear to be a powerful, confident woman, she's actually a pasty programmer who is thin, pale, and lacks a single ounce of confidence. Even her sex is different, not that it matters since they spend all of their time in their esper form.

[/indent] [color=9e0039][b]INSTRUMENT:[/b][/color] Omnissiah [indent] [i]How like a God He is, that ancient Machine, primal of all His Kind, the Imperator! His mighty Fists, massive like two Towers of Destruction, laden with the Doom of Mankind's bitter Foes. He watches over us now as Battle joins, and in his Shadow we shall advance upon our Enemies and defeat them.[/i] GRADE: Challenger KEYWORD: Fists DAMAGE TYPE: Physical, Arcane, Chaos DAMAGE: SSS SPEED: SS SENTINEL: SSS SPECIAL: Omni Slash: Penny's weapons always do the best type of damage for the situation, and have their stats raised up to maximum. [/indent] [color=9e0039][b]STYLE:[/b][/color] Immortal Machine [indent] [i]From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.[/i] GRADE: Challenger PHYSICAL: S ARCANE: SSS CHAOS: SS SPECIAL: Immortality: Penny has every benefit associated with being a machine, and none of the weaknesses. She does not need to breathe, circulate blood, eat, or anything a living creature would need to do. Her hull is made out of the strongest and purist sheets of titanium. Lightening and metal, magical or not, can be absorbed by her chassis. Her defenses are far above what an esper should have.

Her maximum mana is 2000 points and bathing in pools of mercury restore her mana. She can also copy any melody she sees regardless if she has the notes for it or not. [/indent] [color=9e0039][b]LEITMOTIF:[/b][/color] Combat Module [indent] [i]There is no way in which the fully realized sentience of a machine could not be of benefit to us. As it is, the Machine Spirit is revered, yet in permanent bondage, its full potential shackled by petty fears. I seek to terminate this state of affairs. [/i] Grade: Challenger SPECIAL: Penny can copy an esper's Leitmotif or a monster's core ability for the duration of a battle. She is also immune to all forms of crowd control and can heal any wound by expending 100 points of mana.

Had every crime syndicate and cult in her pocket and the favor of the monsters too. Her mysterious disappearance has invited the presence of the G.E.M.I.N.I. agents as well as Maverick Alternative.
