Alastrina Zukion

Name: Alastrina Zukion (nickname: Alice)

Race: Human

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Class/Job: Warrior (Upgrade to Paladin later if possible through Eludin's instruction)/ Lumber Mill Worker and Part-Time Hunter

Description: a tall, slender girl with muscled shoulders, waist-length golden hair, and dark brown eyes

Biography: Alice's whole life has been in and around Reisui. Her father was a guardsman who married one of the village women and the two were content to live there for many years with many children and great-grandchildren. Yet for some reason, Alice was their first and only after ten years of marriage. They were glad to have had Alice for six years, but were disappointed to not have given her any siblings. They were about to consult the wizard after the father got back from investigating a bandit report. But the men returned with the father's gear and reported how Alice's father was killed in an ambush, saving every other man and defeating that bandit gang for good.

The two were in shock for a while after, though Alice came to rally herself up enough to take care of things around the house while her mother just stayed in her daze. She came to recover some when Alice was eight though has never fully recovered. It came to Alice's shoulders then to provide a living for the two, working at the lumber mill, where she developed her strength. When food was running scarce, she made a longbow and arrows out of some of the wood scraps and branches from the lumber yard. It took her a couple of times, but she became quite proficient with the bow and was able to hunt enough food for herself and her mother and sell some of it to the Bloodmoon sisters for their inn (though she suspects they might just buy it to be charitable).

But Alice hated it that her mom was still so withdrawn. But she found a solution at last, and then with a heavy heart, helped an old boyfriend of her mom who still loved her win her back. They were married this last year, and though the sight hurts her, Alice is glad that her mother is happy again. She has kept working at the lumber mill and hunting though to support her family and to save some money of her own. Now that her mother is taken care of, Alice is starting to wish for a change of scenery, an adventure. She's tried to at least get adventure and revenge multiple times by trying to join townsmen groups going out to hunt bandits. But she's always refused since she's young and is only self-taught with her sword and shield. But she keeps trying anyway and even thinks of following the next group sent after bandits with or without an invitation.

Possessions:
Weapons- A steel longsword, a kite shield, used by her late father, and a longbow she carved herself from wood in the lumberyard

Clothing

(except for a real belt around her waist for her quiver and sheath)
with this cape over it

and brown leather boots

Armour- A leather breastplate she acquired for hunting expeditions
Other- A small silver necklace that belonged to her mother with a oak-like tree on the pendent

Demeanor: Tough as nails yet not cynical, Alice has learned to survive with her grief while still holding on to the principles her parents taught her. Yet a spark in her wants revenge against the bandits who killed her father and another wants to go on an adventure away from this small town, see the world and do something to truly make him proud. Also, she has a fascination with the outside world and with weapons.

Anyone want let Cyrania live with them? I could do a collab with that person next post. She seriously needs someplace to stay.

The Chronicles of Dosei: Chapter 1 (8/10 spots filled)

Would you like a character born and raised in the village? I'm kind of thinking of using one of the girls at the mill with her dead father's (a former guard) sword and shield then with a bow she made herself.

Cyrania de Bergerac

---

As the brown-capped stranger walked into the city of skyscrapers, she silently wondered," Now what? Should I stay hidden so more until I know everything that's going on? Or should I just reveal myself and hopefully survive Alchemax's muscle long enough to be contacted by the resistance? Will the resistance be as bad as their enemy or..? Uh, why didn't Merlin come with me?" Cyrania asked herself as she angrily sighed. "We both knew there was a slim chance that my genetic parents were still going to be there, Thor hasn't been seen for a while so how could he convince the Mighty Thunderer to come back, other than that there's really no one who could have survived. I know he said he was going to come once he at least checked for some outside help, but still that step might have been saved till after we made ourselves known to the new true heroes of Earth. Why did he..."

Then the brunette felt someone going superhumanly fast, straight towards her. Her reflexes kicked in and projected a force-field. When the person collided, the impact sent them both flying, her onto her back and the person overhead and onto his face. As the two got up, Miss de Bergerac got a better look at this superhuman. His hair was white and swept back yet he didn't look that old, only about 20 or 30. His suit was black and close-fitting with a weird light design on it that made a lighting bolt on his chest. His eyes were also looking her over like she was him. Then he asked,"Has Spider-man found himself a new helper then? You're definitely not one of us and you've stalled my search for him."

"Sorry, but I'm new here," replied Cyr tersely. "I didn't realize I was suppose to just let you ram me over when you traveled that fast. I have no idea who this Spider-man is and I don't know who you are."

"Why, I'm Quicksilver," the white-haired man replied. "The fastest member of the Avengers of Alchemax. Spider-man is the number one threat of this city who stole some of Alchemax's property. Stop me again and I'll consider you on his side." Then he started to speed away, but ran into another forcefield.

"Well, since you're one of Alchemax's lap dogs, whoever you seek must be worth standing with. I'm sure there's a simple explanation for this 'property' he stole" Than Cyrania smiled, causing Quicksilver to charge at her and once again be stopped by a force-field. She then trapped him in a close-set force-field dome and said, "Tell your masters that Zola's Experiment Alpha has arrived. They should then know who I am. I've only been 'stolen' for eleven years." Then with a laugh and a flourish of her cape, Alpha walked away and disappeared. The force-field soon disintegrated behind her.

Once she was out of his sight, her invisibility wore off to reveal a short, teenage girl with golden hair in blue jeans, white shirt, and green sweater. "Well, it could have been better but it could also have been worse," Cyr thought to herself. "At least now, I have someone I should contact, Spiderman. Alchemax has made more super-guard dogs and has the audacity to call them Avengers. And that message might distract some of the search away from him and onto me. But I don't have enough energy to use in one battle like that again and having to use some to blend in like this until I get a change of clothes somehow won't help matters. Better find this Spiderman then, the other stuff can take care of itself." So Alpha decided to find Spiderman first before taking care of more mundane matters like shelter, food, clothing, and money.

Should Cyrania join in the Central Park engagement? I could finagle a post positioning myself to join in if you want me there.

Cyrania de Bergerac

Name - Alastrina Rogers (nickname: Alice)
Alias - Cyrania de Bergerac
Age - 17
Appearance -

Costume

Except with a musketeer hat with the white plume

Physical: Tall, lithe Caucasian body with wavy, shoulder length, dirty blonde hair and gray/blue eyes in an oval face

Social Class - Low

Powers - Light Manipulation: Can use light to make illusions, force fields, and turn invisible; Mental Powers (Light Manipulation being more of a specific avenue of her Mental Powers): Can sense people's locations, has telekinesis, teleportation, and is resistant to mental attacks and take-overs

Weaknesses - Excessively Loyal: She tends to throw herself in harm's way or offer herself up in the place of others for people she cares for and/or considers under her protection; Limited Energy: If she burns through her energy reserve, she then takes energy from primary functions of her body which can cause her to pass out and/or die. Energy can be regained from food, drink, sleep, or light; Frail Body: Her body easily wounds and can't stand up to much punishment.

Personality - Stern and unwavering when something needs to be done, yet is warm and caring when someone she cares for gets hurt. She's loyal to people but loyal to her morals more and always seeks to do what's right. Causes her to act impulsively though she tries to fight it so she can at least analyze the situation first before she barges in. Also shows a bit of a playful side when things have calmed down for a bit and if it could be used to unbalance enemies.

Motivation - She wants there to be a reason she came to exist, a purpose that helps the world. Also, looks up to Captain America of the Heroic Age and wants to be like him.

BRIEF Bio - Even before Spiderman came to be, Alchemax sought to produce superheroes to protect its own interests. So, they hired the famous geneticist Arnim Zola to see how feasible a completely test-tube hero would be. Zola relished in the challenge and immediately sent his henchmen to gather Captain America and Invisible Woman up. Then he collected the two's genes, set them into stasis for future use, and was about to just splice those genes right there and then when he heard reports that Loki had come to Earth. Thinking of what a wonderful opportunity this presented, Zola invited him over to suggest a proposition and would show him Cap and Invisible Girl as his credentials. Loki was intrigued and confident he could handle anything a mere mortal could dish out, so he accepted the invitation. The God of Mischief really didn't expect the robotic grabbing arms as he came in or the knock-out serum Zola had been able to devise injected right afterwards.

When he came to, Loki found himself being awakened from a stasis tube and having a DNA sample taken. In those brief seconds before he was put back in, he leapt out while leaving a illusion in his place. After the man left, Loki left the room in the guise of one of Zola's underlings, seeking a way out, a reason for what happened, and revenge against the doctor. First of course, he gathered his weapons. Then he finally traced Zola's signal and was shocked by what he saw after he invisibly snuck into the doctor's office. A young six year old girl was crying and saying that robots were one thing, killing people for training purposes was another, she couldn't do it. Arnim yelled that it showed weakness in her that couldn't exist if she was going to actually be of use. Then Dr. Zola sent her back to her training room for a test to decide her fate. Then the heads of Alchemax hologrammed to finally see the results of the project, Zola then let them see the live footage of the now underway test of her against an all-human army. He talked about how this first experiment was a failure, the mixing of Cap, Sue, and Loki had produced a highly talented psychic, but was comparable to a normal man in terms of strength and endurance and to her detriment was very strong-willed, something very undesirable for their purposes. Therefore, this final test was designed to be her end unless she killed, and from there be more malleable to follow future orders.

Loki wasn't sure what it was; some good still remaining in him, the biological connection between him and her, or just the opportunity to foil Arnim's plans; but Zola's message made him snap. The adopted odinson actually found himself teleporting straight into battle and knocking the girl down from an upcoming attack. She then put up a forcefield to protect against the next attack and Loki then transported both of them into the hallway. From there, they ducked and ran through the halls, dodging guns and seeking the way out. When they got out, they kept going until they came to the heart of what is now known as the Badlands. After that, Loki realized that there would be three groups hunting him as well as her one and there was no way this girl could survive alone in the wild. Besides, this girl had his skills and would be an interesting apprentice. So in case she knew anything about the past, he introduced himself as "Merlin" and said that he had discovered her through stories of a mortal that had powers such as him.

His caution was unnecessary right then though. Through her rapid growth from conception to four years of age then her two years afterwards, she had only learned speaking and fighting, only knowing herself as Experiment Alpha who would be given a true name if she proved herself worthy to Arnim and Alchemax. Merlin was surprised at that and offered to teach her what she had been missing out on as well as some more techniques if she wanted. The girl was eager to learn from her rescuer and was thrilled when he then gave her a name, Cyrania de Bergerac, a name he considered fine for a mortal sorceress. The resulting years were heavenly for Cyrania and made Loki grow fond of this offspring of his, though her Captain America tendencies would vex him. She would often get her energy to dangerously low levels when helping some passerby fend off the wildlife and the increasing numbers of Hulk-like creatures, causing Merlin to have to go in and rescue her. From one of those passerby, she first heard about the Heroic Age and begged Merlin to tell her about it. So he told tales of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the only exceptions were any tales relating to Loki. Cyrania was suspicious of the gaps, but Loki prefered the suspicions to potentially losing her love and trust. She looked up to those superheroes, Cap especially, and wanted to be like one of them. What would she think if her mentor and biological father was a supervillain? And as he saw his daughter seek to emulate her other biological father, he was jealous that she would take so much after him, yet proud of the woman she was becoming and realized that he didn't want her to follow his path. He realized this more and more as he started to enjoy helping her help others and was proud and saddened by her wanting to go into Nueva York and stop Alchemax from doing anymore of the evil she kept hearing about from desperate travelers who ran into the Badlands to escape.

But Cyrania wasn't ready yet the first dozen times she tried to go, so Merlin stopped her then. But he knew she would be soon, and he at least wanted her to have some sort of physical weapon to have as a fallback. And there was one place he knew of that contained real quality weapons. So on her 17th birthday (date: the day she was rescued, age: the years after their escape plus her bodies six previous years), Merlin told Cyrania about a "deserted Asgardian armoury" where they were going to get her a weapon (a lie he hoped to keep secret since his target was a part of the armoury people rarely went, he could probably disguise the presence of people without her realizing it, and he could teleport directly to where the most powerful Asgardian-made weapons were). Cyr was eager for a real weapon, having been trained by Merlin in various weapon types using illusion weapons, but wondered how an abandoned armoury could still have weapons in it. That question then seemed to have been answered when they arrived and were met with a security alert and a welcoming committee of Asgardian automatons.
Merlin held them off while she went to wisely choose a weapon, Cry hoping she didn't choose too late. She felt drawn to one lonely corner where a sword was set in an old leather sheath. Merlin was starting to get swamped, so she ran and grabbed the sheath and sword. Then she strapped the sheath to her side, drew out the sword, and teleported herself back to the battle. Cry found as she slashed and dodged that the sword felt like an extension of herself, it amplified her abilities and gave her a solid attack in her mostly defensive arsenal. It just felt so natural to her that she almost didn't notice when the last automaton was defeated and was whisked away by Merlin before the cavalry arrived. After the jump back to the Badlands, Loki took a good look at his daughter's choice and recognized the blade. It was Laevateinn, an ancient sword made for a sorcerer's use that all had assumed Loki would wield since Thor had Mjolnir. The sword though had to same caveat as the hammer, only one
who was worthy could wield it, and the sword had never considered Loki worthy. Now she was wielding it as if it had been with her for her entire life, then when Cyr asked about the sword, Merlin, to help her not become proud or doubtful, told her the sword's name, that is was a vibranium-like material, and that it could only be wielded by a random few and she was one of them. Cyr then asked if she was ready and Merlin said yes. She at first thought he would go in with her, but Merlin said that she should start in there and search for the new heroes of this age so they could band together against the evil. He would go for any of the old heroes who were still alive and come back to her. He advised though that Cyr choose a cover name that would work for day-to-day living in the city, so Cyr choose Alastrina Rogers, Alice for short. Then after a heartbreaking farewell, the two went their separate ways, Cyrania into the city join the new Avengers against Alchemax, Loki into a quiet spot where he could plan what he was going to do next.

Notes - Sorry that the Bio's so long, just wanted to make sure to answer the questions without too many plot holes. The inclusion of Laevateinn comes from some comics having Loki wielding it. Loki can still revert to a bad guy if the GM wants, though I'm one of those who like the idea of a good Loki.

Bucky

Name - Steven Buchanan
Alias - Bucky
Age - 15

Appearance

these clothes

Bucky's clothes

on this body plus the mask for when he's a superhero

Bucky

Social Class - Lower (given money by Karen)

Powers - Original Captain America's Super Soldier Serum derived powers + Physical Asgardian/Frost Giant Enhancements, Skilled Martial Artist

Weaknesses - Weak Mind: Susceptible to Mind Control and Mental Suggestion; Insecurity: Compounds his Weak Mind, he's unsure of who he is because of where he came from and what he did in the past; Heat: The Frost Giant part of him makes him extra sensitive to heat

Personality - Quiet and withdrawn, Bucky tends to brood on the past and have a serious, melonchaly outlook to life. He feels unsure of himself and worries about having his head played with. Around friends, he might warm up a bit and especailly warms up around Karen. Though through his crush on her, he can also get shy and nervous.

Motivation - He wants to rescue Karen, 19 year old middle class girl with technopathy that gives her access to money in ATM's and his first crush.

BRIEF Bio - Zola's second experiment, he was disappointed not to achieve both mental and physical powers again. But Steve actually followed orders and had no mental resistance to break through, making him altogether satisfactory. He passed his test with flying colors at age six and was given the name Winter Soldier as well as more in-depth training. But, the boy became scared of what he was becoming, how he was getting more and more numb to people needlessly dying. He took the chance to escape when he was transported into the city for his programming at the age of 13. He would have fallen into bad company if it hadn't been for Karen. She spotted the young boy as he ran through the streets, so she invited him in and learned his story. She then used her technopathy to hire someone to make an identity for him as Steven Buchanan and to arrange him a place to live. And she continued to look out for him and introduced him to some of her other friends, where he was first given the nickname of Bucky. Now that Karen has been kidnapped, Steve is willing to do anything in his power to save her.

Notes - It's just, I did have a second sample collected to allow Loki's escape, so Zola has those and any clones he made of those samples to work with still. Besides, it forms a nice dichotomy, Cyraina got the mental powers of Loki and Sue and the mental dominance of Steve without any physical inheritance while Bucky got the physical powers of Steve and Loki with none of the mental ability and weak mental resistance. Feel free to have Omega as a Alchemax super villain we face later, the one with both mental and physical powers while having weak mental resistance (you could even make them Alchemax's Captain America if you wanted, she would have had really accelerated growth to respond to Spider-man, just a thought.)

Shepards of Ivalice: The Wings of Ruin

Jo-Anne

"Walls are a good means of defense generally," Jo-Anne replied, wondering why she was dragged into it. "But they're also an obvious target for a Risen swarm and a target that requires a force to maintain. A moving target though is harder to pin down, which makes traveling in the wilderness a safer bet. I know it's harder for that to work with the number we will be traveling with, but it's the only way to help the citizens untrained in war get through. Otherwise, there is no chance they would survive from Risen or other wilderness predators. There should be enough trained warriors that some of us can be stationed as direct defenders of the caravan while others can take care of scouting and distraction. Your help would even the odds more if you joined us. Therefore, I would suggest that joining the caravan would allow you to better survive though your help would be appreciated in the defense of the townsmen while your abilities would be used for your own needs here though then you are more likely to be overwhelmed. Nobody can be at their peak at all times and that's what you would need to be if you stayed behind the walls here, while in the caravan there are others to watch your backs and help you out when you need it."
