Name: Felix 'Lighting Strike' Cral

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sometimes ending a fight is as simple as falling to the ground

Personality: Like his electrical name sake, Felix enjoys these paths of least resistance. Easy going and worry free to the point of being called 'Aloof' or 'fool headed' by some. Few slights are harsh enough cause him grief, few troubles to damning to be simple shrugged off. The type to be walking along a town road as the sky begins to pour rain and the extent of his reaction being 'well, guess I'll need to dry clothes off later', and not so much as walk quicker to be free of the weather. Easy to smile, glad to laugh, and difficult to frustrate, that is Felix in a nut shell. Even on a hunt he tends to be fairly bright eyed and relaxed, only gritting his teeth in serious determination once the foe is before him and as soon as battle is finished he is once again a smiling fool.

There are a few things that do get under his skin of course, the biggest of which is simple seeing what he calls 'unfairness'. Not justice mind you, though he does prefer to see the two go hand in hand. He will often go a great length to see fair solutions to problems, even if sometimes they are not technically legal. His most outstanding example of this is mentioned in his equipment section.

Brief Back-story: Felix was raised by a less than ideal father, a minor member in large cities chapter of the thieves guild. He used his son, gifted with the strength of a budding dragonslayer, as leverage to gain power and jobs within the organization. Basically hiring the superhumanly strong boy out as something of an attack dog in cases where muscle was needed, or a scapegoat when a distraction was needed. While Felix meet a good deal of kind people among the thieves guild, his father was not one of them and the bad often far outweighed the good. It wasn't till his father got overly cocky, or perhaps angered the wrong guild members and set up to fail, Felix was never sure which, that they were both captured by the law. Felix's father, for his myriad of violent crimes is in prison to this day while the young boy was looked on with pity and mercy.

At the time he was barely 10 and had been kept so in the dark by his father that he didn't even know what a dragon slayer was. The captain of the guard took responsibility for the boy, all but legally adopting him. He educated the lad, taking time to repair the sociological damage done to him, and also taught him to defend himself. The old battle ax of a city guard undertook a long and length endeavor that likely helped shape felix's obsession of 'fairness', that being undoing or making reparations for a great deal of the crimes he was involved in. 'Boy or no, you did innocent people wrong, and that must be undone to the best of your ability' he always said.

From there he embarked as a budding dragonslayer, exploring the world and further developing his sense of self and personal code of ethics. He was not his blood father, nor was he his adoptive father, and determined to do exactly what he feels is right and fair. A perfect example of this lies with the origins of his weapon.

Felix doesn't hide the fact that he stole the spear from a lord of a town early in his dragon hunting career when the man denied him his pay for his services and further investigation showed him that man was less and honorable and did much to squeeze wealth from the people in his town. He snuck in to the mans treasure and stole a great deal of gold to be given to the people and took the finely crafted, possible magically reinforced spear from the man. He still occasionally gets a bounty hunter on his tail, hired by the still bitter lord.

Abilities: As all dragon slayers are, he his mighty strong compared to a normal human, though in most sense of it he is about average as far as the slayers come, save for one aspect. Even by dragon slayer standards the strength in his legs exceptional. He has yet to meet another slayer his equal in that regard. He can bound high into the air with great precision and ease. It is part of his signature fighting style, able to engage low flying foes by surprise and help force them to the ground or to plunge down on beast from above for deadly blows, hence the name he has gained for himself. he has a seemingly supernatural accuracy for his massive bounds.

Equipment: He wears fairly bland, if rather well kept, light armor. He prefers the lighter types, while heavy armor does not hinder him on the ground it tends to throw off his center of balance during his jumps, and when one is throwing themselves into the air to either intercept a giant monster or land on it, having control of ones orientation is rather important. To help make of for the lack of heavier armor he has a rather sturdy shield, normally kept on his back. He keeps a pair one handed swords on his left hip, weapons he prefers to use on human normal human foes as to not accidentally kill humans with his dargon hunting implement. He is not really all the good with swords, but can overcome them most normal human foes with his superiors strength, but the handicap it provides keeps in line with his sense of fairness.

His weapon for dangerous beasts is his great spear 'Felstar'. A spear ludicrous size the blade of the weapon is about the length and width of most bastard swords. Where the blade ends there is a large cross guard about a foot in length on each side, the ends of which stop at sharpen points good for punching through armor or shields if need be. The shaft of the spear is made of a steel bar that is about 6 feet in length. A hoop is at the butt of the spear where a rope of a chain can be fastened. It is possible enchanted, though Felix stole the weapon and has no idea to access any enchantments that may be present.
Lovely, no one has beaten me to my idea :D expect a character sheet this afternoon


Name: Callie Hightower

Callsign: Iron Lady

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Personality: Callie is best described as a 'proper' girl. Very polite, often times refined, never vulger or crude. Even in the heat of combat she attempts to at the very least speak with some level of edicate and civility. That being said Callie could also be easily described as stubborn and willful, orders she will take and follow of course, but if she decided there is something she wants to do it is often times hard to stop her from attempting it. This aspect of her often comes from her soft hearted side. She joined the AWF to protect people any way she could, and she will be damned if she will do anything that will interfere with that personal objective.

Short Biography : A great deal of Callie's life was rather unremarkable. She is the younger daughter of a fairly wealthy family, both parents still alive and healthy, a older brother who will one day take over the family business. Much of her youth was spent in the safe part of the cities being enjoying the finer privileges money and power can provide a family. No one knew she was a magical girl. Her abilities didn't manifest till she was 5. Her family told her to keep them a secret and to never let anyone else see, and for a time she didn't understand why. She only thought it was some silly game and played along. But as she grew older and her comprehension and knowledge of the world expanded she came to know why they made her keep such a secret. If it was out in the open that she was a magical girl, an enormous amount of pressure would be put on her to volunteer her services to the AWF. She could hardly blame her family, they provided her with everything their resources could for their children, as any loving family would. As far as they were concerned a long normal life was among the things they wished to provide for her, and that was not likely something she would receive as an official defender of The City. But Callie felt she had an obligation as someone with power to defend those without. This became a fight they had often over the years. Until she turned 18 and was legal recognized as an adult, at which point she decided to come out as a magical girl. She join the AWF against family's wishes and hardly ever looks back. Not that a magical girl has much time to look back. She has done her best to keep in touch with her parents, who are slowly coming to grips with her decision, but her brother is having a harder time coming around, unable to see the good she is trying to do and only able to see that his sister is throwing her life away.

Powers: As her callsign would suggest Callie powers involve metal. Specifically she can manifest very temporary metallic constructs.
Power Details
The constructs will fade either after a minute or after 'use' ( aka after an impact ). They are not mechanical in nature. She can't make a gun,or an engine, or anything with moving parts. She can exert telekinetic-like control of the construct. For example launching a spear harder than she could ever throw it for, or make a hand like construct open and close. Each construct has the same basic toughness and weight as good quality steel, though to her they are practically weightless.
Limits
Size and number are serious factors. Just as it is much easier to move a pile of stones one by one than all at once it is much easier for Callie to manifest one thing at a time. Summoning 6 weapons in a row, one after another, is easier than summoning 6 weapons at once. Likewise summoning a normal sized sword is easier than summoning an excessively large size sword. Even with the greater strength and endurance of a magical girl straining herself can sap her of strength quickly. While it is theoretically possible she could summon a huge block of metal the size of a small house and smash it down on a foe, she would pass out from the strain. At the moment the total amount of mass she can summon at a single time is the same what could fill about 4 cubic feet. Anything she makes of significant size will be hallow and there for weaker and flimsier because of it.

Equipment: She makes all her stuff on the spot with her power. While in combat she will create a verity of weapons for each blow to be delivered and in each situation, she tends to have an affinity for spears and hammers.
A quick question for making a character; are magical girls volunteers or conscripted into service? If the latter is it known a girl is magical at birth or is it something that is figured out as they get older?
I am so down for this I may be approaching the earths core.
seems fair to me.
Since no one has yet responded I shall start.

I don't care to much about a posting order myself.
At the threat from the standing man Ellia rose her eye brows a bit and looked up at him through eyes still half clouded with sleep. Otherwise she made not attempt at all to move or at all ready herself for any kind of conflict "I am afraid to inform you I do not start fights..." she paused, yawning softly before taking a deep breath and continuing "...I only finish them." Before any more sparks could fly in walked the council member, and the tension that was hanging in the guilds air grew till it felt like a solid mass of unease causing the air to tighten about their skin. As the man called Fendron strode across the guild floor Ellia lazily fallowed him with her eyes as if the man before her threaten a fight was inconsequential. Though that was partially the case, if this fool was dumb enough to start a brawl before a council rep he would be easily considered to foolish to worry about.

Before the kerfuffle between her and the standing man could start once more a girl approached and addressed them and the job board. She watched the short back and forth before taking a moment and closing her eyes. With the help of her Experience Shift magic she gave herself what felt like an extra few hours of sleep. A handy way to force a proper woken up state for the day. "Seems we have an interesting dilemma. This man called it first, you saw it first, and I was here in front of the board first." she said raising to her feet."I wonder, what would be the most fair way to handle this."
I'll be getting back to you on your CS ASAP shamrock.
