Arcture - Rooftops

---

Kaito stood atop one of Arcture's taller buildings, taking a moment to study his surroundings carefully. He had arrived later than most of his peers, having spent an extensive amount of time registering his weapons. Particularly, the young shinobi had ensured that every individual shuriken under his possession was registered. How could he be a true hero of justice if he didn't ensure he would remain accountable for everything he would do in this strange and new world? After all, he is a representative of both Silver Gate as well as the Fuuma clan. To be responsible for his own actions was a matter of course.

When Kaito had entered Arcture for the first time, he of course wasted no time in making his way through the sprawling cityscape the only way a true Fuuma shinobi would, leaping from rooftop to rooftop until he was at a high enough vantage point to really take in his surroundings. Orienting himself to the city was important for a variety of reasons, from studying landmarks to knowing the proper routes for faster travel throughout the city. Of course, traversing the city's rooftops also allowed Kaito to ponder on his own, giving ample space for him to be alone with his thoughts.

It wasn't too long since Kaito had been registered to the school. It wasn't quite his choice on the matter, sadly. His parents had chosen this school for him for reasons still unknown to him, despite Kaito's protests. After all, he entered exile of his own volition. Shouldn't he have the right to choose where he would go on his self-imposed sabbatical? It's not like he's a child, either... or at least, he wouldn't be in a year from now. Minor custody laws are truly unjust! As far as his classes have gone so far, Kaito had only focused on improving upon his own physical skills, practicing both with the blade and his fists. The magic classes, however, grated on Kaito. It was nothing like learning ninjutsu, being based more on study and theory. In the end, Kaito held little interest in the mystic arts.

It was issues like these that had Kaito feel like an outcast among his peers, doubly so in this magical land. Aside from ninjutsu, Kaito had no true exposure to magic before, specifically in its most studied form. Arcture was full of individuals saturated with yin, whilst Kaito was undeniably seeping in yang energy. He was well aware that he needed a proper balance of both energies in order to fully utilize ninjutsu. Perhaps it is through his adventures into these lands that Kaito would improve upon his study of the magical arts in order to improve upon his own techniques. If he could improve on his yin, he would be another step closer to being like the great Kotarou.

Speaking of adventures...

Kaito extended the kite from the back of his armor before leaping off the building he was on, allowing the winds to fully extend the rest of the kite. As he would take to the skies, he performed a series of quick hand-signs before controlling his breath, allowing the weight of his armor to decrease just enough for him to soar through the skies. He would glide overhead the main road towards the Adventurer's Guild, making his descent just a few yards away, keeping note of the barrier surrounding the guild house. As he landed, Kaito strapped his kite back into his back before making his way to the guild's entrance. Before he entered the building, he made sure to dust himself off so he would look presentable enough, from combing his hair with his fingers to making sure the lights on his chestpiece were working properly. Once all that was done, Kaito made his entrance, striking a pose.

"The Ironclad Demon of Justice makes his entrance! Fuuma Kaito, here to register!" Kaito pronounced, producing his green badge and holding it outward.

They say that good things come to those who wait.

Indeed, after Nomura had thanked Bolcha for the information, he elected to wait for Donovan's return instead, standing just at the outskirts of the village towards the old temple. If he were a braver man, he would have ventured forth to find Donovan himself. Of course, such a notion was impossible for the man that Nomura was behind the mask, a fiend wanted by a group of fanatic hunters and a supernatural entity. So instead, he waited. Nomura almost thought of actually getting those fishes he had owed a certain fox to pass the time, but instead, he glimpsed at a rather familiar-looking man making his mad dash towards Lady Mie's encampment.

Nomura sighed as he recognized Donovan, not sure if he should feel displeased that Donovan chose to make his job a bit too easy.

Still, Nomura wasn't the type to let an opportunity pass itself by. Making his way back to Lady Mie's camp, he would bow to the Oni meeting Donovan respectfully.

"Ah, don't worry. I'll see to this foreigner myself. If he has any important business, I shall let Lady Mie know personally." Nomura stated, before putting an arm over Donovan almost too familiarly so. _{"Just follow my lead, Don."}

Whether Donovan chose to react or not, Nomura suddenly yanked him away to where they are both just out of earshot of the encampment and, more importantly, the other villagers, using a bit of magic to make his leave swifter. Once that was done, he turned to Donovan with a flourish, removing his mask.

"Ta-da~ It is your trustworthy friend from yesteryore, here to greet you once more!" Malphas almost sung, bowing with a smile. "I'm currently a part of Lady Mie's troupe, with a new identity to boot! I don't wish to bore you with the details of the 'hows' or the 'whys,' but it seems at this very moment, we can help each other.

"If you have business with Lady Mie, I'm sure I can make negotiations between the two of you to your liking, hm? In exchange, I only ask for a simple trade: a fragment of metal with a peculiar engravement on it. Valuable to me, but likely garbage to you. It's traded many hands, and from my investigations, it may be in yours. If you have such an item in your possession, I'd be happy to relieve it of your person. If not..."

Malphas was still unsure if it was Donovan that possessed the item in question or not. He has not heard from that irritating fox, either. Either way, it would be good to cover both bases. If Don did not have the shard, then it would mean the other foxgirl had it, and he would be going towards that direction regardless.

"You seem to have built more rapport with these villagers than I. Perhaps you can fetch me two fishes, instead? Of course, that is assuming you don't have what I'm looking for."

An opportunity to delegate others to do his own tasks is an opportunity Malphas would never shy from.

Cacophony Concord

A dark-skinned man with a wild look in his eyes looked at the group with a grin, his hands in his hypothetical pockets and his primitive raincoat opened to reveal his shirtless and tattooed figure to the world. The markings on his skin seemed to be of a primitive bent, with iconography of wolves scattered about a living canvas. On his back was a rather beastly spear, its keen edge looked as if it thirsted for blood. He leaned on what seemed to be the source of the noise: a monster of darkened iron and fire, a motorcycle that was indeed quite out-of-place in this Eastern landscape. Raising one of his hands to his head, he waved to the group coolly once he was sure his presence was known to them.

"Sup, nerds. Finally got some reliable WiFi. Hope I'm not too late." The man spoke a familiar voice in a somewhat gravelly, almost feral tone. It's as if he growled every so slightly with each word he spoke. "Ah, right. I was supposed to say something about snakes, wasn't I?" He quipped, his tongue turning into that of a serpent's momentarily. Of course, it was clear just who he was to the group.

Leif yawned and stretched as he approached the group, snapping a finger at the motorcycle as if it were some sort of subordinate. "Arion, wait for me at the gate." He ordered, the bike obliging as its engine roared, blazing forth in the blink of an eye. "I played around a bit until I got to a good enough timezone for me to meet up with you all, and I gotta say the mechanics of this game is pretty tight. Riding and fishing feel just like it should be. Tho I gotta say, a bit pissed I got myself locked into the Shaman path. A bit too smelly for my taste."

Leif put his arms behind his head as he reached the group, a bored expression on his face.

"Well, I don't know about you all, but I don't give two shits about the war. Both the major sides look too edgy for my taste. Honestly most of the factions seem kinda lame. That said, if you all have a plan to get on one bandwagon or another, hope you all have fun. I've got my own business to settle."

He took out a symbol from one of his pseudopockets, showing it to the group.

"This look familiar to any of you? I've got a bone to pick with a couple of bastards sporting this thing."

"Ah, he has business with Lady Mie, yes. She told me I should speak to him directly about it." Nomura lied as naturally as he breathed. While it would be helpful to ask for Haruno's help, he's not sure how the Oni would treat poor Donovan if they were to find out the truth. Plus, Nomura himself doesn't know if Mie has kept this a secret to even her Oni or not. Hopefully, this will shake her curiosity off for the time being. Nomura's attention would be grabbed once more at Bolcha's interjection. For some reason, he had a feeling the craftsman would know Donovan. They seemed to be kindred spirits, in some sense. Maybe it's the smell?

"Ah, you have met Donovan too?" Nomura replied to Bolcha, walking over to him if Haruno chose not to stop him further. "Do you have any idea where he may be? I need to speak to him regarding business with Lady Mie. It's quite urgent." He added, before leaning in closer as if to whisper in his ear. "He may be in danger. The sooner I can find him, the better." The matter of whether Nomura truly cared for Donovan's well-being or not is questionable at this time. What is true, however, is Nomura needs to find Donovan and take what he may have stolen from Mie before anyone else could. This may be his last ticket to ensure his safety, after all...

... Oh, and he needs to grab two fishes at some point. But that's on the bottom of his priority.

Ironclad Demon of Justice

Name: Fuuma Kaito
Age: 17
Race: Earth Human
Nationality: Japanese

Personality: A boisterous youth with a loud mouth, Kaito is rather bold for a shinobi. Unafraid to announce his very presence against his foes and face them head-on, Kaito's headstrong nature has put him in more harm than good. Of course, this is due to his belief in justice and honor, beliefs that conflict with his status as a Fuuma ninja. Rather than a trained killer, Kaito sees himself and his clan as dark avengers of the night, seeking to bring criminals and miscreants to justice.

One should not misplace his recklessness for mere foolishness, however, as Kaito has firmly compensated for his bombastic fighting style with his own unique, if unrefined, form of ninjutsu tools. Born from his love of tokusatsu, Kaito conducts himself like a hero of justice, from his mannerisms to his combat style, referring to himself as the "Ironclad Demon of Justice" and even designing his own costume. Kaito also possesses a level of pride for his clan, seeing its most famous member, Fuuma Kotarou, as his prime inspiration to follow. While he disagrees with some of their more ruthless practices, he still holds his clan at heart, referring to himself as a Fuuma shinobi even after his self-imposed exile.

Backstory: Ever since he was born, Kaito had to prove himself as both his parents were excellent shinobi of the clan. Of course, it helped that he possessed a natural talent in the Fuuma clan ninjutsu, believes to be a prodigy among his peers. At one point when they were training in weightlessness, his peers had referred to him as "Fuuma Kotarou reincarnated" due to his control over his own weight. These praises fostered a wealth of unhealthy habits for Kaito, such as his reckless nature and the idolization and emulation of the Fuuma clan's greatest shinobi. Such habits would continue to develop over time, up to the point of Kaito's first real mission.

The mission in question was higher profile than what one would usually trust a trainee shinobi perform, but Kaito's superiors had plenty of confidence in the young ninja to complete the task. What was simply a raid into a known yakuza den turned out to be a hostage situation, as Kaito had charged in without knowing that innocents could have also been in the establishment at the time. While Kaito was tasked with slaying a yakuza officer hidden within the den, he prioritized saving the hostages instead. If it weren't for the intervention of one of Kaito's mentors tasked with supervising his progress, Kaito's target would have escaped.

Admonished for his failures, Kaito was severely punished for his actions, believing his priority to save the lives of others as signs of weakness. This shook Kaito's own beliefs, as he had initially thought that the goal of a shinobi is to defend the lives of the common man over all else. Because of this disagreement, Kaito had entered exile to seek a new purpose, one that would allow him to mete out his own form of justice without being told what he was doing was wrong.

It was then that he found himself at the Silver Gate Academy, eager to pave a new path for himself as a true hero of justice.

[Combat]
-Equipment-
Weapons: Kaito wields a heavily stylized ninjato meant to go with his outfit. While it looks cool and can light up, it provides no clear advantage in combat when compared to a similar weapon. Kaito also carries shuriken with a similar design philosophy, with each painstakingly made to look uniform with one another.
Gear: Kaito wears a customized set of Fuuma clan armor, reinforced composite armor stylized to look like his heroic persona. It is complete with modifications such as various compartments to hold shuriken and other smaller ninja tools in, a built-in kite that pops out from the back, reinforced arms and legs for improved unarmed combat, and a star-shaped chest piece made with reflective glass and filled with bright LEDs meant to both disorient foes and look marvelous.
Other: Kaito possesses a cosplaying kit meant for both quick disguises and to maintain his suit.

Independent:

• Spirit Boost - As an Earth Human, Kaito has a wellspring of inner power waiting to be tapped into. 40% boost to Spirit when over 50.
• Ally of Justice - Upon announcing his presence, he will demand the attention of every enemy in the area, and have a heightened level of aggression towards him. He is also more likely to power through attacks by enemies who possess thuggish or miscreant attributes, able to overpower them in a direct trade.
• Shadow of Kotaro - Despite his youthful vigor and self-proclaimed title, he is still but a shadow. As one talented in the arts Fuuma Kotaro was known for, the cost of any ninjutsu related to weightlessness is reduced by one rank in both SPT and WIL. It cannot go lower than F rank.

Major Skills:

• Fuuma-ryu Genin Level - Level 1 (3 pts)
• Shin-Ganryu Blade of Dispelling - Level 1 (Free)
• Fist of Raging Heaven - Level 1 (3 pts)

Minor Skills:

• Iron Fist [1/1] (8 pts)
• Focus Charge [1/5] (2 pts)
• Acrobatics [1/10] (2 pts)
• Studied Form - Fuuma-ryu Genin-level: Sixth Jutsu [1/5] (2 pts)
• Application - Fuuma-ryu Genin-Level: Sixth Jutsu [1/5] (2 pts)
• Signature Move - Justice Arrival [1/5] (2 pts)

Spells: lol

Techniques:

• Justice Arrival - A flashy and exaggerated flying kick, Kaito leaps to his opponent, utilizing the Sixth Jutsu of the Fuuma-ryu to allow him to soar greater distances before abruptly ending the Jutsu mid-air, placing his entire weight directed towards his kicking foot. Utilizing one's own cumbersome weight to their advantage, it is particularly effective when wearing heavy armor. However, it is difficult to change the direction of one's attack once their weight is directed towards a target. As such, it is primarily utilized as an opening attack, when one has the element of surprise.
• Justice Blast - Kaito leaps to the ground landing on his outstretched palms as support, usually behind his opponent, before thrusting his legs in an upward motion towards the opponent. When properly performed, the opponent should be knocked up into the air as if they were a rocket. Due to how the technique is performed, it is normally utilized as a recovery after being knocked down.
• Justice Driver - A technique that attests to the Fuuma clan's superiority over the skies, Kaito leaps into the air, lessening his weight and spinning rapidly with his legs together to create a drill-like motion. Once proper momentum is built up, Kaito restores his weight suddenly before directing himself downward towards his opponent as if to screw them into the ground. Most effective against airborne opponents.

A hero is never late!

Heartbreaker - The Best of the Isekai Hunters

Endgame JRPG Protagonist

Name: Eligor, The Endgame Demon

Age: Yes.

Race: Demon. While he was once a mortal, Eligor attained demonhood through his sheer might, rather than spending time in the Underworld.

Appearance: Choosing to maintain his mortal form despite his apotheosis, Eligor protects himself with his magic instead of one of the many treasures he possesses. Rather than weapons or armor, he covers himself in a demonic exoskeleton that resembles a mockery of the heroic arms he once wielded in life. Seeping with blackened Akhrana, Eligor's very presence can be felt from miles away.

---

Background: Eligor is known as the End Demon not for his pronounced posterior, but because he represents the pinnacle of what all heroes become of they continued on their self-destructive path. Indeed, Eligor was once known as the ancient hero Elijah, a warrior from a bygone time where one must have over a hundred kills under their belts if they wish to be truly acknowledged as a hero. Tasked with killing the Demon Lord of the Endtimes, Elijah was given the blessing of "Assimilation" from a strange and divine entity, gifting him with abilities such as having unlimited inventory space storing the vast treasures he'd obtain from his foes without being encumbered to gaining xp and leveling up growing in strength with every monster he'd slay. While the intent of such powers were to allow the hero to face off the Demon Lord's ever-increasing threats and continue to scale in power, Elijah had other things in mind for his journey.

And so, Elijah sought out the weakest of the Demon Lord's dark minions, slaying them with impunity. If he could draw no power from them,- or if they were completely wiped from existence- he would merely slay the next in line, plundering their strength and treasures for himself. The reason why kobolds today all conglomerate underground and goblins keep to themselves in their hovels is due to Elijah's indiscriminate extermination of their kind. Even the greater monsters were no match for the hero once he set his eyes on them, reducing such beasts to near-extinction. By the time Elijah finally decided to slay the Demon Lord, he was himself considered a demon due to the sheer power he possessed.

After making quick work of the demon lord, Elijah soon realized that there was naught to slay that would make him stronger aside from his fellow heroes. Because of this, he took his fated foe's domain for himself, becoming the next Demon of the End by assimilating his predecessor's essence before it could return to Sheol. He then turned against his party, slaying them and taking their blessed treasures for himself. For many years hence, Elijah took on the mantle of Eligor, using the mass treasures he had plundered in his journey to create a grand keep high in the mountains, filling it with all matter of dastardly monsters. Promises of wealth and glory would be used to draw heroes from throughout the land to his domain. Of course, this was merely a Darwinian trap placed in order to find the strongest of heroes, ones that would serve as a match for Eligor in order to grow further in strength.

The heroes of his land, however, were limited in their strength, for the gods have at this point learned their lesson in bestowing such exploitable blessings to mere mortals. None could truly match Eligor's strength, and soon, the Demon-Hero would find himself bored with the mortal realm. He would soon enter the Underworld, laying claim to the former End Demon's domain. For centuries, he would wallow in his new demonic realm surrounded by his treasures. Every now and then, he would face off against the occasional hero or vengeful demon who would find a way to his realm, making short work of them. Eligor would enter stagnation, seeing only the other greater demon lords as worthy enemies and not wanting to bother dealing with their hax unique abilities. Soon, he would be forgotten by time itself, all records of him in the mortal world fading away into obscurity.

What stirred Eligor from his isolation was rumors of these new heroes, ones from other dimensions entirely. Ever curious, Eligor would watch their progress from the confines of his realm, his interest ever increasing. It was then that the End Demon would break his centuries-long isolation, appearing to Lord Ahriman to offer his services to the new Demon Lord. If these otherworlders truly possessed powers unknown to this realm, then perhaps Eligor can truky ascend to greater heights.

Plus he is a bit annoyed to hear that heroes these days are foreigners stealing opportunities from the hardworking mortals of this realm.

Skills and Abilities: As the End Demon, Eligor possesses the physical and magical power expected of a Demon Lord. His magical abilities revolve around standard conjuration and enhancement, fueled by his massive pool of infernal Akhrana. Eligor's true strength lies not in his demonic nature, but by a blessing given to him by a long-forgotten deity of ages past: Assimilation, the authority to take anything.

Assimilation is split into three primary abilities, but only two of them are really utilized. The first is Conqueror, a simple ability that permanently absorbs the strength of those slain by Eligor, with stronger foes giving a more pronounced boost to power. At this point, most mortal beings that Eligor could slay would only grant a negligible boost to his strength. Marauder is the second ability, granting Eligor a seemingly endless pocket dimension meant for him to store the vast scores of treasures he has looted from his enemies. It is filled to the brim with treasures both mundane and magical, and such objects can even be forcibly ejected from this dimension with the force of a bullet. The last and least understood of Eligor's three abilities is Hegemon, the "right to rule all lesser beings." It seems to have no effect, but perhaps it is because Eligor has no desire to rule above others.

Quips:

• Eligor's talents include collecting and appraising treasures, the extermination of life, and cooking.
• Eligor's greatest weakness is the arrogance of one who has never truly struggled in life. He sees most mortals, and even a few demons, as mere insects, and refuses to take more effort than needed against such foes
• Despite his strength, Eligor is actually a poor combatant. Having only fought foes he has severely outmatched, Eligor's skills and techniques in combat are simple and unrefined.
• It is said that among the many weapons held within his vault, none are more deadly than Eligor's Hyper Weapon. The nature of this weapon is unknown, and Eligor is quick to dismiss such claims.

He then turned against his party, slaying them and taking their blessed treasures for himself. For many years hence, Elijah took on the mantle of Eligor, using the mass treasures he had plundered in his journey to create a grand keep high in the mountains, filling it with all matter of dastardly monsters. Promises of wealth and glory would be used to draw heroes from throughout the land to his domain. Of course, this was merely a Darwinian trap placed in order to find the strongest of heroes, ones that would serve as a match for Eligor in order to grow further in strength.

The heroes of his land, however, were limited in their strength, for the gods have at this point learned their lesson in bestowing such exploitable blessings to mere mortals. None could truly match Eligor's strength, and soon, the Demon-Hero would find himself bored with the mortal realm. He would soon enter the Underworld, laying claim to the former End Demon's domain. For centuries, he would wallow in his new demonic realm surrounded by his treasures. Every now and then, he would face off against the occasional hero or vengeful demon who would find a way to his realm, making short work of them. Eligor would enter stagnation, seeing only the other greater demon lords as worthy enemies, not wanting to bother dealing with their hax unique abilities. Soon, he would be forgotten by time itself, all records of him in the mortal away fading away into obscurity.

What stirred Eligor from his isolation was rumors of these new heroes, ones from other dimensions entirely. Ever curious, Eligor would watch their progress from the confines of his realm, his interest ever increasing. It was then that the End Demon would break his centuries-long isolation, appearing to Lord Ahriman to offer his services to the new Demon Lord. If these otherworlders truly possessed powers unknown to this realm, then perhaps Eligor can truky ascend to greater heights.

Plus he is a bit annoyed to hear that heroes these days are foreigners stealing opportunities from the hardworking mortals of this realm.

Skills and Abilities: As the End Demon, Eligor possesses the physical and magical power expected of a Demon Lord. His magical abilities revolve around standard conjuration and enhancement, fueled by his massive pool of infernal Akhrana. Eligor's true strength lies not in his demonic nature, but by a blessing given to him by a long-forgotten deity of ages past: Assimilation, the authority to take anything.

Assimilation is split into three primary abilities, but only two of them are really utilized. The first is Conqueror, a simple ability that permanently absorbs the strength of those slain by Eligor, with stronger foes giving a more pronounced boost to power. At this point, most mortal beings that Eligor could slay would only grant a negligible boost to his strength. Marauder is the second ability, granting Eligor a seemingly endless pocket dimension meant for him to store the vast scores of treasures he has looted from his enemies. It is filled to the brim with treasures both mundane and magical, and such objects can even be forcibly ejected from this dimension with the force of a bullet. The last and least understood of Eligor's three abilities is Hegemon, the "right to rule all lesser beings." It seems to have no effect, but perhaps it is because Eligor has no desire to rule above others.

Quips:

• Eligor's talents include collecting and appraising treasures, the extermination of life, and cooking.
• Eligor's greatest weakness is the arrogance of one who has never truly struggled in life. He sees most mortals, and even a few demons, as mere insects, and refuses to take more effort than needed against such foes
• Despite his strength, Eligor is actually a poor combatant. Having only fought foes he has severely outmatched, Eligor's skills and techniques in combat are simple and unrefined.
• It is said that among the many weapons held within his vault, none are more deadly than Eligor's Hyper Weapon. The nature of this weapon is unknown, and Eligor is quick to dismiss such claims.

Nomura scratched his beak as he watched the commotion commence around the village. Whatever's going on, the merchant is happy to comfort himself with the idea that it wasn't his concern... or at least, it shouldn't have been. He doubled back at Mie's tent, watching as another fox girl made her way into it. Seeing as she matched the description of this "Misaki," Nomura pondered if he should go after her or not.

In the end, he decided to just let her go, for now. It seemed she was going into Mie's grasp already, and it'd be much more efficient if he went out to find Donovan, wherever he was. He figured it'd be much easier to just ask him for the heirloom back, given their rapport.

Still, just to make sure, Nomura looked for Ayumi, making eye-contact with the fox before gesturing towards Misaki. Covering more ground would be ideal.

"... Oh? Ah, yes." Nomura looked to Haruno, bowing in return. "Are you familiar with the foreigner called Donovan? He's about this tall, tends to grasp at his precious regions whenever we meet, spoiks loike this. I was going to ask Bolcha if he knew of him, but perhaps you know where he may be?"
