Her amber eyes change color and the side tail on her head gets much longer. Despite this, no one can see the similarities between her two forms, despite both standing 5 '3". Perhaps their personalities are too different. The quiet, innocent Bionca could never hope to match the flair of the autumn wolf. She’s so reserved and almost exclusively wears formal outfits. Even on the warmest days of the year, she always wears long sleeved shirts and never wears shorts. The Knight of Tonight on the other hand is always living in the moment. She’ll wear just about anything if her extensive disguise kit is anything to go by. It’s rare to see anything but a smile on her face.

She looks like a Floridian tourist, complete with a flour print shirt and shorts. Her side tail is shorter, and she has a slew of bead jewelry to make up for her lack of accessories. Her look is polished off with a pair of amber tinted sunglasses. Everything is tight and barely contains her curves, but it's okay because she's wearing a swimsuit under everything.

It’s not that it isn’t interesting, it’s just that [s]the GM really wants to finish this so that everyone else can make their characters[/s] there are some things that should remain hidden from prying eyes. What is known is that she was a prestigious university student, even if she doesn’t act like it. But something happened, and now she travels the countryside. She does odd jobs, but never anything too demeaning. She’s shown up to clubs that would easily take her as a dancer, only to request (and get) a job as a bouncer. She’s surprisingly good at it. Often she can persuade or intimidate troublesome individuals before having to resort to brute force. She’s very good at hand to hand combat when she needs to be, and is very feisty. But only during a fight. Otherwise, she’s very professional and seldom smiles. Of course, her real job is hunting monsters. There’s plenty of work on Shimr, but not always in the same city. Bionca hops around America from city to city hunting high value targets with fellow freelancers. She’s much more relaxed and free as the Knight of Tonight, and likes to hang out with espers she’s had a good hunt with. News of the Hand had reached her, and she hurried over to Pax Septimus as fast as she could. But she arrived too late, and Pax Septimus had been turned into the most peaceful city in America. It was also one hell of a vacation spot. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. The price of admission was free, so Bionca was fine with sticking around and having some fun. There might not be a tomorrow, but there will be a tonight, and Bionca plans to live it up as much as possible.

Even though she’s half way through her teens, her dress sense is closer to an adolescent. She’ll put on whatever she feels like wearing, and then put all of her favorite accessories on top of it. Mika’s school backpack rattles like chainmail from all the pins she's attached to it. Few of her accessories were purchased for her. She made a good deal of them herself (glue & glossy photo paper FTW) or found them when "inspecting" a garbage can. The two things that don’t change between her true and esper forms are her height and her dark skin. Her American Indian heritage seems to be present in both forms, not that she dresses the part in either one. Her teal esper clothes look like they belong to an exotic Arabian dancer. The cat ears on her head don’t scream Apache either, but Mika likes them regardless. What Mika doesn't like is her new suppertime outfit, courtesy of Dan Daggernose. The cat motif is pushed to the extreme as both the top and bottom of her swimsuit are designed to look like a cat's head. It's a little more revealing than what Mika feels comfortable with, which has only made her more irritable that she can't truly transform into an esper.

Mika lost hers twice. Her birth parents were what most people would call trailer trash. They were an older couple and Mika didn’t have any brothers or sisters. But she was hardly lonely as she had all the other trailer park kids to play with. When she wasn’t racing around the park with her peers, she would “dumpster dive” for “treasure.” It’s a hobby Mika still holds near and dear to her heart. Her parents weren’t an active presence in her life for the most part, but she loved them. Her first brush with the supernatural world brought tragedy to her trailer park, and her parents were among the casualties. That was when she first met Su Fang, who had been dispatched to deal with the problem. She adopted Mika and treated her like her own daughter. Su was a Chinese foreigner who had to work hard to get her position in GEMINI. She was very much a tiger mom who wanted the best and expected the best out of her daughter. Needless to say, Mika had difficulty adjusting to Su’s form of parenting. Being forced to do her schoolwork and clean her plate wasn’t something her old parents fussed over. But over time, Mika would grow to love her new mother, even if she couldn’t reach all of her expectations. Mika isn’t the brightest, but Su was able to foster a curiosity in the world. Mika can be really knowledgeable about things that fascinate her. This mostly shows itself with her wide berth of animal facts. But being an esper is a dangerous profession, and Su’s life was taken during the fight against the Holy Diver: A giant behemoth class monster. Half way through the fight, Mika found her mother’s grimoire and it responded to her. But this has happened very recently, and the ramifications this will have on her personality was not yet clear. Then the events of SoH happened. Mika was one of two confused and cynical children that operated under Ashley. Mika had been critical of her ability to lead, and partially blamed her for her mother’s death (despite Ashley not having a leadership role at that time). She was very nihilistic during this time, knowing that everyone was fated to be killed by a monster at some point. It happened to her parents twice, it was going to keep happening. During a chance encounter with Oros the Mad, she learned that it was actually Finn, one of her squad mates, who was most responsible (aside from the murderer themselves) for her mother’s untimely death. The boy had defected recently, and they knew they would encounter him again when they went after the rest of the hand. But when the time came to get her revenge, she did not pursue it. Why she wasn’t sure of herself. She has some time to think now.

He does retain his superior’s affection for fine things like jewelry, but not in the same way. Book Man uses accessories to establish his wealth and power, while Kidd uses them to show he enjoys shopping at hot topic. He loves his silver accessories, and he does have a fine cloak he wears for “special rituals,” but he’s also a fan of alternate fashion. Black, plaids, religious jewelry, if it goes with the gothic aesthetic he loves so much he probably has it in his wardrobe already. Though as eccentric as he seems, he’s perfectly capable of blending in as a normal person. When he chooses to. He didn’t really get a choice with his beach getup though. While his ritual shawl was left intact, the rest of his outfit was replaced by a pair of flaming swimming trunks. And his book of blood was replaced by a book of pleasure, one that he’s less interested in reading. He claims, at least.

He’s obviously a servant of Book Man, but the greater mystery is what his actual role in this is. Is he family? Merely a hire? Perhaps his existence is the result of a broken contract. Regardless of what it is, he refuses to elaborate much on it. He’s very much a closed book with regards to his past, and no amount of prying will reveal the pages. But modern books usually have something written on the back cover. What’s clear about Book Kidd is that he’s here to help end the vacation, even if he doesn’t have the power to do it himself. It’s not like he has any reason to lie. Just like everyone else, his magic seems to have been inexplicably changed so that he can’t hurt anyone, and no harm can be done to him. For a mysterious goat being, he’s pretty opinionated and will talk about anything from fashion to dieting. Especially those two topics. He’s really big on yogurt and the benefits of probiotics. He's also a guacamole fiend and won’t eat breakfast anywhere that doesn’t serve avocado toast.

Being petite in build is not one of them, but her skin is as pale as snow, and she has several rows of eyes that go up her forehead and disappear behind her bangs. Her eyes are black with glowing red irises, and her teeth are the same off putting black color. Though most will notice the giant spider legs protruding out of her back before they notice any of that.Typically she wears a kimono with an obi, similar to a geisha. Though the colors are far darker and subdued, and have a spider web print on them. Like many espers, her outfit was magically altered. Her heavy uniform was replaced with a black bikini with a web print on it. That was fine, but why did her weapon have to turn into a corn dog? She enjoyed feeding people, but not this much.

In a distant dimension in the elemental chaos is a humble little world like our own. Only it’s flooded with magic and most of the humans have been warped into other creatures. In particular, the people of Japan have been turned into yokai. Periodically a curse spreads across the land that causes these transformations, and it’s almost impossible to predict them or even protect oneself from the transformations that follow. Some are able to retain their humanity, but all are transformed physically and mentally. These curses cause huge power shifts and stunt the country’s growth as civil wars break out. Harmonious Nippon returns to the dark ages as creatures do battle for dominance. The fighting didn’t bother Iris at first. She was plenty strong, and had far more friends in her clan of Tsuchigumo, or earth spiders. Doing well by them and surviving with them gave her greater purpose. She would even cook for them, despite having aspirations above being a lowly maid. But food made everyone happy, and that made her happy. Unfortunately the fighting would only get more intense. One by one the Tsuchigumo would die or leave, going elsewhere to find a more prosperous or less dangerous place to live. There were only two of them left at one point, and when her last friend died, it became apparent that there was no reason to stay in Nippon. Maybe she could come back some day, but right now she just wanted to find a way out. And she did. She didn’t just leave the island, she left reality. Crashing a ritual sent her flying across the elemental chaos into this world. Everything was weak and Iris felt more powerful than she had in a long time, until she encountered her first esper. She survived the encounter, but it was clear this world had its own problems. Things weren’t that different otherwise. Other than the language, she understood how most technology worked. She learned when to keep her head down. But she wouldn’t have to survive on her own forever. She encountered Billy black and was welcomed into his faction. She performed admirably for her inexperience, and she learned how to make pizza. It felt like her clan had been reunited, with everyone eating and fighting together for a common cause. She had been left at a hideout to look after some fresh faces outside of Pax, but was called in when Maverick Alternative decided to team up with the GEMINI agents. Iris was there when they fought Big Tony, and was even the one to finally end him [s]because the other players had vanished[/s]. It was dangerous, but her new clan was stronger than ever and she knew they wouldn’t be fractured so easily. And now, she enjoys a vacation. Though she can’t help but feel the shark yokai has something nefarious planned… [/indent] [/indent] [/hider]
