Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna was surprised, but not shocked. A hug from Emiri was well-placed. Though, he was feeling…odd. Today’s events surely have been quick, but they have bonded quite fast given how they met. Now, onto the hug,Jaakuna didn’t see it coming. Maybe it was a moment of weakness, but Jaakuna didn’t mind it. For the brief moment it was there, he returned the hug, as he gave a slight embrace himself. However, it was cut short as Emiri had pulled away, obviously showing slight embarrassment. The strange thing about that is that Jaakuna also showed some redness. If not from the hug itself, but then maybe from his disappointment of the shortness that the hug had.

Jaakuna stratched his head. ‘Uh..yeah, no problem.” He said his eyes diverting from Emiri’s own.

Jaakuna had then stood up as Emiri did the same. He was surprised she had the strength to stand up. Jaakuna would have thought she was too weak to do so, but after a few seconds, his thoughts became reality as he saw her acting funny. In another time lapse of a few seconds, Emiri collapsed on the ground, missing Jaakuna’s arms. “Emiri!” Jaakuna sad as he had her in his arms anyways as he had lifted her upper-body up a bit with one arm. He was trying to see what happened, and then he saw it. Her face was green, bubbles of poison oozing from her face. Jaakuna didn’t know how she got poisoned, but right now all he cared about was getting her better.

Jaakuna set Emiri against one of the metal parts of the area they were in. He went down the hall, specifically towards cabinet that he keeps all sorts of potions and antidotes. Just by him getting an antidote, Jaakuna got one small vile of it and went back to where Emiri was. He knelt down and put the vile in her mouth. “Here drink this. It’ll help you.” Jaakuna said as he lifted the vile, hoping she would drink it.

Savayna was amused even further. He truly had no idea as to what Savayna was alluding to. Perhaps she should enlighten him on the matter. Maybe if she were to, then there would be a shift in loyalties. Maybe if she were to speak the truth of which she has been laughing at Ramon for not knowing, it would present multiple opportunities.

“Fine, Roman, you want to know do you? Okay, here it is…” Before she could get to it, she heard something.

---

As Jaakuna had launched the attack forward, he didn’t know what was happening until Emiri touched his hand. Then he knew. She was using her powers…again. As useful as they may be, Jaakuna knew that this couldn’t be good for her, not in the slightest. For now, Jaakuna would have to go with her as he put his Iga Blade away with one hand and she grabbed his other hand and they started to run.

Within less of a minute, the two of them arrived at the aerodome, bypassing Roman, Savayna, and the nine Archadian soldiers(five warriors, four mages). Within less than twenty seconds, Jaakuna and Emiri were mere yards away from Ifrit. That’s where time resumed for everyone. Jaakuna knew they had only a few minutes before anyone would catch on.

Jaakuna noticed that Emiri wasn’t doing well, so he put her over his right shoulder to help her save her strength just a bit. They beamed up and Jaakuna put Emiri down. Just in the nick of time, he started Ifrit and within one more minute they would be out of range of Bhujerba and Jaakuna put the ship in hyper speed, granting him a hasty getaway. Within the few minutes that the ship would had been flying, Jaakuna and Emiri would find themselves over almost to Rabanastre. Jaakuna would put the ship’s invisible cloak on just to be safe.

Now having it on autopilot, Jaakuna went over to Emiri, who was sitting on one of the bench-like things just down the hall from the Cockpit. “How are you holding up? Surely that last usage of your ability has you exhausted?” Jaakuna said as he asked Emiri how she was doing.

---

“Dammit! “ She roared. Her eyes livid at the fact that she missed the chance. “You see, this is what happens when you don’t let me get the murderer of your father in custody, but nooooo, you JUST had to play the protocol card.’ She hissed. “I was right. You ARE the stupid brother.” She said as she went and gathered her men. They would follow them, but it would be too late. Already out of range, Savayna had no choice but to go back to Archadia and face her punishment there.

Jaakuna’s attack had worked as, when he landed, he saw that Vlyn took the full force of his attack and was sent back. The burning smell of his flesh made Jaakuna smile. It was not for the fact that he injured another person, but that maybe Vlyn would stop underestimating him and start actually taking him serious. However, as Jaakuna was just about to revel in what he just did, he caught the frosty chill of several blizzaga spell coming in for him.

As they did, Jaakuna instantly activated Firaga on his Iga Blade, with a defensive measure taken, the blade itself was glowing red like a tomato as the fire magicks started to fend off the blizzagas one by one via Jaakuna swinging his swords side to side. As he did that, the ice spells themselves were deflected back at Aloa as she came down for a kick. Then, Jaakuna proceeded to unleash his Firaga along with the Blizzagas. So, in order, the blizzagas would be first and if that failed, a firaga spell would follow.

Hearing the words right out of Ramon’s mouth was pretty amusing for Savayna. Him joking that his brother choosing her as a wife. “Oh you kill me with your kindness, Ramon.” Savayna laughed. Well, maybe it was more of a chuckle than a full-on laugh.

As she listened to him further, she was sure that he did not know. Oh thank the gods, he didn’t even know. Savayna definitely had all the cards in her hand and they guarateed her freedom and immunity. “My word, you really don’t know do you?” She said doing a full on laugh, “Ramon, maybe Jaakuna isn’t the dumbest brother after all.” She laughed and laughed.

that's so meta || character storage thread

Nicole is a really slender girl. Her body is very petite, so as are her curves.Nicole's skin color is very white. She isn't an albino, but it's not really graced with the benefits of a tan. Her skin itself has no signs of pimples or anything of the like, which could be an indication that she really takes care of her skin. Her lips are always a busting cherry red, maybe from the brand of lipstick she uses or it could be just natural beauty with this one. She only comes to a height of five foot, four inches and he weight barely crosses 110lbs. Her orange-red hair is fiery, but her emerald green eyes are serene. Probably a nice balance. Her usual choice of clothing would range from slightly slutty to uber-comfortable. So, it can range from a long list of attire choices. However, she is most likely be seen wearing a dark blue hoody jacket and blue jeans. White and black sneakers. She does comfort in herself of wearing a lot of piercings on her body. She also has a few tattoos in some interesting body parts.

Name: Nicole Sanders
Age: 21
Mutation:
Electricity Manipulation
Nicole's mutation is the ability to manipulate, shape, and form electricity. What this power actually does for her is that she can absorb most forms of electricity, which can range from lightning bolts, electric objects such as TVs, lamps, street lights, and the like. She has demonstrated to others that she can charge up her body which allows her to travel at faster than normal speeds. However, she has expressed that she can't go faster than like 40mph.The form it takes is that she will either glide, surf, or skate around using nothing but electricity. Even still, if she does it for a long time, she will tire out, since it uses too much of her available energy. She can absorb already existing electricity to rejuvenate her energy reserves. She has a moderate control of it thus far, which means she's still discovering how to control her power more and use it to the maximum potential. Depending on her mood, the shade of her electricity will vary from green to red. Green usually means a more calm demeanor, but a red one represents her anger, that's why most of the time, there is red with a very slight tone of green and the usual blue and white that electricity takes the shade of.

Peak Human Condition
Whether this is a result of her Electricity Manipulation amplifying her overall functions both physically and mentally or it's cause she works out as much as she can, as well as being in sports and other athletic activities, Nicole definitely has peak human condition. What this means is that, unlike normal humans, who are only able to do what they have trained or haven't trained to do, Nicole is almost always at a state of physical and mental level where almost everything she does is that of near-superhuman level. Of course, somethings are less often than others, but that's just reflected on Nicole's state of mind and how she applies herself. Usually she's always spot on, but she has her bad days. Included in this is peak strength, speed, stamina, senses, agility, reflexes, accuracy, durability, and intelligence, However, the only ones that she excels at currently are strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes. The rest fluxuate from normal human level to slightly above average of human level. Like stated, her mental state of mind is key on here. Without that, she can barely utilize half of what is listed.

Personality:
Nicole, in a nut shell, can really be a bitch. She usually only cares for her needs most of the time and in the event that she goes for the needs of others ahead of her own, she will probably not act the way a normal person would in that situation. Now, with all that being said, she does have a soft spot. For those she respects and/or bonds with, they will be like her best friend/family. For those kinds of people, she’ll literally die for them. She’ll gladly give her own life just to ensure their own. Her loyalty to family and those who treat her with kindness are on par with no one. She’ll protect these people with all that she is.

She loves to joke around. The core of her being is to laugh and have fun. Maybe this will lead to some cruel things, but to her, if it’s funny, then she will do it. On the flip side of things, she’s a wild party girl. She can sometimes be sluttish, which is reflected on her choice of clothing and her various body jewelry. She probably has ten pierced body parts in total, which accounts to a lot actually. She is flirtatious beyond all hell. The amount she flirts with guys(and guys) is ridiculous. She does swing both ways, so that’s another factor to think about. She’s also sarcastic…like way sarcastic. When it does come down to it, everything she does falls back on what happened to her as a kid. As a result of such events, she reverted to sides of her that are nasty and sometimes mean. But slowly, she has been able to be herself, which is exactly where the joking aspect of herself comes from.

History:

Nicole really didn't have a really complicated life. She lived in a pretty normal town, she had two parents and three siblings. It sounds like a pretty normal life. She lived in Berkley, California, and went to a private school cause her family was rich. Her dad, Norman Richardson was one of the leading Stock Brokers in the Bay Area. Her mom Lizzie Sanders was one of the top-paid professors in the Bay Area. Her twin sister, Nataline went to the same high school with her. Her two brothers, one older, Brian, went to the University of San Jose, and her younger brother went to the same high school she did at the time, but at a lower grade. Everything about Nicole's life was pretty normal for a high middle-class family. Well, that was until a very unhappy day for her entire family.

During the summer that she turned sixteen years old, Nicole was granted permission to go to a party by herself, but she decided to take a couple of friends and her sister, even though Naomi didn't like that party scene(she was a good girl). Naomi ended up on meeting people that she would later be best friends with. Nicole, however, went to this party to meet up with her twenty-five year old boyfriend, Kyle Alexander. She wanted him to pop her cherry, and that was the plan. They went up to a room in the house that the party was being held in(it was a big house), and they started getting it on. First, it was just some foreplay — kissing, some grabbing around each others bodies. It was just the usual stuff. When it got down to the dirty stuff, first Nicole was with it. She allowed him to feel around her privates and she was completely naked by that had occurred. It would get tot he point, however, that she would notice he was going to slow as he was about to stick his penis in her. She told him no, but he didn't listen. He started to force himself on, and Nicole kept on trying to prevent him from doing so, but with her slender frame and his rather bulky one, she was overpowered. It wouldn't be before long that he was doing it and she started crying, yelling stop as loud as she could. All the while, she was trying to hit him, but to no avail.

Then it happened.

Her sadness and fear got to a point where she felt something in her and as she punched once more, a shock of red and green electricity released into Kyle. It was first the initial burst that shocked and surprised him. The surprise made him slide over, and on his back were burns. However, he would usually be out, since the shock itself was a good burst, but somehow the energy from it just made him even more angry with her. He lunged at her and as she put her hands out, a single, straight bolt shot out from both hands, and pierced him right through his heart, sending him flying out the window. Even though he was most certainly dead from the bolt of lightning, the crash through the window and down two stories of air onto the grass would cause such an impact that death was absolute.

As she walked over to the window, Nicole didn't know what happened. She was at a loss of words. She didn't know what to do. She knew the right thing would to be to walk down the stairs, and exit the house and go to his body, but she panicked. Nicole jumped through the window, but she did it parkour style. Dropping to the window ledge, and dropping down to the ground. She ran. That's all she did, she ran home, her parents and siblings still asleep, she packed her clothes, stole whatever money from her parents' wallets that she could and she just ran. Sixteen years old, Nicole Sanders fled the city of Berkley. She fled and never looked back.

Through out the next few years, Nicole would do what she could to survive on the street. She would sleep with men to get money, she would get odd jobs, and even at some point she became addicted to heroine. She became a straight out slut. By the time she was eighteen, she had sex more times than she could count on her hands and feet. It was just for her to survive, it was never about the thrill of acting such a way. She just wanted to survive, and by doing this, it broke her. Formally, she was a woman who was proud of herself and wanted to become an Olympic Gymnast, but now she's broken, bitter, and bitchy. She's nothing like her old self, and she might never be that way for a long time.

OOC/Misc:
-Nicole is a party girl, so she'll be drinking alcohol and and flirting with the boys as much as she can.
-Nicole loves dancing as well.
-She loves any kind of music unless its rap and country, those are her two no-nos in music.

Impressions: (To be filled out later.)

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As he went in for a thrusting-like motion, Jaakuna’s Iga Blade was caught by Vlyn’s own hands, very much to Jaakuna’s disbelief. He just couldn’t believe that a swords was not only aught by Vlyn’s hands, but that he was actually able to take a hold of his sword. Like how does someone even do such a thing? Jaakuna couldn’t believe it, he just couldn’t. It wasn’t just that. Jaakuna wasn’t himself in that attack. It was like..something was missing, but he can’t place it. Just something about that attack seemed empty.

As Jaakuna was dumbfounded, hearing what Vlyn had to didn’t really help the cause. It just added to the anger he was feeling. “I will admit, at first her powers were pretty interesting, but it’s passed that point. I just know what assholes like you and your partner are like and if the people you work for are just bigger assholes, then I’m sorry, but I’m just not going to allow you to take a power like Emiri’s that you don’t deserve.” Jaakuna said as he slid his sword in such a way that got it out of the clutches of Vlyn. As he did that, he definitely took notice of what happening just a dozen feet or so away.

It took his notice that Aloa arrived onto the scene and the usage of multiple Ice spells. Jaakuna instantly got nostalgic as that had reminded him of his former lover, Savayna. The usage of the spells, however, were less consistent than Savayna’s. Though, Emiri looked like she was having problems. Jaakuna wanted to help, but he knew Vlyn would be a bit of a challenge if he tried to. Still, as he couldn’t help but watch, Jaakuna noticed that Emiri would get some frostbite-like look as she would be frozen slightly. Jaakuna couldn’t stand back. So, as he kept his eyes on Vlyn, he darted to Emiri, who had ended up on getting closer before she got frozen. Jaakuna would fire a fire spell to add to the heat and melt the ice around Emiri. Hopefully that would at least get her moving more.

As Jaakuna had made his way back to Vlyn, running of course, he jumped into the air and had coated his sword with Firaga, and by manipulating the flames even further due to his special brand of fire magic, he sliced downward, showing impressive feats as a blazing slice turned wave went forth to Vlyn, showing colors of red and white.

Admiring what she was thinking about, Savayna saw that Ramon was walking towards the entrance. Savvayna didn’t know what he was planning, but I would seem that word was relayed from one of her soldiers to her personally that Ramon wishes to discuss the terms of Savayna’s surrender. She smiled as that she found all of this amusing.

“Fine, I shall go discuss this matter with the Marquis. You nine stay here and keep an eye on Carlo. He’s unconscious, but don’t let him get any fast ideas.” She said as she headed to the entrance. Each step she took made the sound of her metal sound off. The sound of it clashing with the concrete made a distinct sound, but it was the moving of her swords that caused the most noise of her arrival.

Directly across from Roman, she stood, smiling as he probably did as well. “Oh Marquis Ramon, you think I’m actually going to surrender.? If this is true, then you’re as foolish as your half-brother.”

Operation: X-Men

hmm, I might just take you up on the offer of 2nd character, Ruby. I'm starting to get a couple of ideas.

With all that was going on, Jaakuna was just focused on Vlyn. He didn’t want to lost focus off of the male Viera. He knew that those bunny man and women are much older than the hume race. Even though Jaakuna is confident in his strength, he wanted to make sure that he was focused on Vlyn.

Even though that he was focused, Jaakuna was definitely caught off guard by two things. First, it was the words that Naddie had said, but even more so by her actions. She was just about to attack Jaakuna. That led to the second thing that caught Jaakuna off guard. Emiri pushed him aside and went after Naddie. Definitely a change of attitude from Emiri and Jaakuna smiled, almost a grin-like expression. He didn’t think that she had it in her, but this whole day was full of surprises. He and Emiri went from enemies to almost friends. Who would have known?

As Jaakuna’s full attention was directed towards Vlyn, he heard what he had to say. What Jaakuna heard touched a nerve. Something that no one has ever before, at least not in three years. Addressing him as his highness. Now that was something Jaakuna just could not allow. He had forsaken his royalty as a Darcone long ago. Not even saying a single word, Jaakuna took a giant step forwards, extending his arms and Iga Blade forward in a piercing motion, trying to impale Vlyn before he even got the chance to open his pretty little mouth ever again.

As Savayna was in the aerodome still, she could hear everything going on below. From the soldiers outside trying to secure the dome to her men defending the line. Everything that was happening just made Savayna more frantic. She didn’t even know what to do and this just made her think back to when she discovered that Jaakuna had murdered his father. She was at disbelief and the worst thing of it all is that she doesn’t know why he did it. She thought that their love was at least strong enough that he would be able to tell her that, but by the time she heard about it, he was long gone and no one in the Archadian empire knew of his location until three years later.

As she thought about all of that, she did know that her current position put everyone, especially her boss, at a very weird position. She knew that if she was caught that she would be seen to charges of kidnapping, that much is clear to her. However, she definitely didn’t want to see to those charges. She didn’t know what to do.

“Dammit, what to do!” She said, contemplating on what to do.

As she was pacing back and forth, she decided to go down to the base level of the Aerodome and joined her men. Perhaps there would be something good to come out of her being in the midst of it.

“Any updates?” she asked her men.

“None mam. The Bhujerbian forces haven’t made any move…yet. However,” He said.

“However?” she responded.

“It would seem that your ex-husband, Lord Jaakuna himself, made an appearance.”

“WHAT!!”
“Yes, it would seem Lord Jaaku--”
“He’s not a lord anymore, got that!”

“Yes mam.” he responded, [b]“But yes, Jaakuna, your ex-husband, was talking with a young girl, brunette and another, blonde. It would also seem that he and Marquis Ramon know each other as well. That’s about as much as either of us know milady.” He said.

Savayna was both angry and intrigued. “Marquis and Jaakuna, that’s very interesting. And they seemed…friendly with each other?” She said, intrigued by the status of Roman and Jaakuna’s relationship.

The soldier talking looked puzzled. “Well, yes milady, they are brothers, are they not?” The soldier said, puzzled.

“Well of course they are. This is not new news to anyone who is from Archadia. In which case, this will be fun to say the least.” she said showing amusement and also slight happiness.

As she finished the talk, Savayna sat on one of the couches(out of view of course), cross-legged and she just awaited what would happen down the line.
