Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

"Oh," Kaz said, directing his eyes to the ground. That statement definitely put a damper on things, and while nobody in his life had died that he really cared about - his mother died when he was too young, and his father was a workaholic twat who didn't care about shit - he could still sort of sympathize. "Sorry for your loss," he said.

Uno Mundus -Uncovering the World Secret-

Ren Owari

Appearance:
Ren stands at a height of 179cm (~5'10") and weighs in at 71kg (~156lbs). His skin is fairly average, a bit on the sunkissed side but still fairly light, and his eyes are of a hazle-esque color leaning more towards the green side. His dark brown hair is short, just barely touching the nape of the neck at lowest to be exact, and spiky, with enough forelocks of hair sticking up to constitute a rather sizeable ahoge. Apart from monochrome, Ren tends to dress in 'earthy' colors such as greens, browns, and yellows, with the occassional blue, red, or something of that ilk. In terms of style, he dresses in what could only be called 'smart casual', with button-up and/or collared shirts, ties, etc.

Name:
Ren Owari

Alias:
N/A

Race:
Human, ESPer

Nationality:
Terrenian

Occupation:
Highschool Student

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Specialty / Skill:
Specialist Skills
Analysis - ESP Abilities

EX (D): A byproduct of his own ability, Ren possesses the ability to analyze and identify every ESP ability in existence. However, on his own without the effects of his ability, he can at-best identify and analyze common abilities and abilities he's already familiar with with a little thought.

Hunting and Tracking

B: A skill Ren gained during his time with his tribe that provides him the information necessary to use environmental cues, like footprints, to track and stalk animals... or humans. At his current skill, Ren's a beast in un-urbanized areas, but only somewhat decent at tracking people in urban areas.

General Skills
Memorization

C: Ren possesses above average memorizational skills, and tends to remember most important things and even some minor details. However don't expect him to be able to remember useless specifics like what color shirt he was wearing, nor expect him to be able to remember a scene and pick up details he didn't originally notice.

Freerunning

C: Mostly trees and certain rock faces, but Ren can also manage jumping off buildings onto other buildings as well as a minor capacity to scale buildings, especially ones that have external decorations positioned in convenient ways.

Close Quarters Combat

D: Ren acknowledges that sometimes his ESP ability isn't enough to carry him in a fight, so to remedy this, he's taken up martial arts classes. However, he's only got up to intermediate-level courses.

Personality:
Ren's the same old reserved Ren he's always been. He doesn't really go out of his way to make friends, but he isn't vehemently antisocial, either. All things considered, he's actually quite a pleasant person even if he comes off as cold and uncaring. In fact, it often surprises people how tolerant of others he is, and how willing he is to listen to their problems as well as offering advice of his own, even if the one he's listening to is a random stranger off the street. However, he refuses to take shit from anyone and isn't afraid to speak his mind either. Truly, Ren can definitely be quite abrasive, especially when providing advice. Furthermore, while he's generally a tolerant (though not necessarily nice) person as previously mentioned, and rarely gets angered or riled up either way, when he gets mad, he gets really mad. He finds it hard to truly let bygones be bygones, and while he can play nice enough, he never really forgets what people have done to him, which often subtly manifests itself in distrust and an increased frequency in sarcastic comments towards the target of his grudge.

Ability:
RNO-Class-III-Type-Black: "Reality Shift"
The unique ability to mimic compatible Personal Realities to facilitate the use of multiple ESPer abilities.

Details

• To download a Personal Reality, Ren needs to be within range of the original's AIM Dispersion Field and be compatible with the original's Personal Reality
• Compatibility cut off is 50% compatibility
• All abilities copied start off at Class-I
• Abilities are only usable as long as Ren is in range unless he has used them to the point they have ascended to Class-II
• Abilities cannot be raised to a class higher than the original's without copying multiple ESP abilities with the same function. If Ren wants to increase an ability class higher than the original, he requires a sufficient amount of targets to copy with the same ability. The amount needed follows the following formula: [Class Max + (Class Cap x Target Class) = Amount of Targets Necessary]
  Example: Class 1 + (Class 1 x Class 2) = 3 Class-I targets, Class 3 + (Class 3 x Class 4) = 15 Class-III targets, etc
• Ren can only have 5 abilities ready for use at a time, 3 on standby and 2 activated.

Akane Komaru

Appearance:
Akane stands at the height of 174cm (~5'7") and weighs at 64kg (~141lbs). Her build is much like a well-rounded model's, a well-rounded combination of fat and muscle. She has long, mid-thigh to knee length caramel brown hair tied up by two yellow ribbons and a headband, with hime cut-esque bangs. Her eyes are red and her skin a rather light shade of tan. In terms of dress, she likes to wear lights with dark trims, usually in a monochromatic color scheme with colors leaning more on the 'warmer' spectrum. But never orange, for some reason. Her preferred fashion is rather random, though it's been consistently displayed that she's a fan of zettai ryouiki as well as school uniforms.

Due to the properties of her ESPer ability, her appearance is subject to change.

Name:
Akane Komaru

Alias:
"Seraphim" (Title/Rank Among Magicians)
"[The] Scalar Change" (Codename)
"The Strongest ESPer" (Rank)
"Number One/The First (of the 8 People Whose Shit List You Don't Want to Be On)" (Rank)
"Please don't kill me." (Unofficial)

Race:
Human, ESPer

Nationality:
Islander

Occupation:
Highschool Student

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Specialty / Skill:
Academia - Math and Physics

S: Due to the properties of her ESP ability as well as the level of power it's at, Akane possesses knowledge of tensor properties roughly equal to that of Uno Mundus' most knowledgeable academic, and by association, genius-level skill in basic math and physics, though less for the latter. Either way, school's a breeze.

Spatial Awareness

B: Akane's used her ability enough times to be able to gauge the distances between objects in her line of sight with little effort. Additionally, enough people have tried to pick a fight with her to warrant the ability to make quick analyses of the environment around her.

General Skills
Culinary - Confections

D: Akane knows how to make desserts and candies, though they aren't anything special.

Navigation - Academy City

D: Due to her habit of skipping classes and just wandering about the city, Akane knows how to make her way around the city far better than your average resident, though she doesn't know about any fancy hidden passages or secret routes, just places the g eneral public would be able to access.

Athletics - Swimming

E: Akane's decent at swimming, though given that she does it more for exercise and not for practical uses like being a lifeguard or a diver, it isn't as effective as it could be. The large volume of hair causing increased fluid resistance doesn't help, either (although he power can remedy that).

Personality:
Akane is... quite the strange fellow. Carefree and nonchalant, even serious at times, but definitely 'off'. She always seems to always have some sort of smile or grin on her face, which either makes her look cute or reasonably sinister, even remaining smiling when angered. The only alteration to this constant expression is the occasional pout; very rarely does she seem serious in any form of the word. Her speech patterns are quite strange too. She often speaks with an underlying tone of amusement and usually ends or starts her sentences with a light chuckle. In this vein, it isn't surprising that she often participates in many frivolous activities based off of whatever she thinks is 'fun' at the time. Her high intellect level and pragmatism when concerning getting what she wants make for quite a mixture. While Akane does want to become stronger, despite being the strongest in Academy City, she does so in a lackadaisical manner. 'Why should she work hard to become even stronger when she's the strongest? It'll come eventually,' is her line of thought on the manner, meaning she probably wouldn't get involved with an experiment to boost her strength if it involved lots of hard work, even if the opportunity arose. However, this laziness only applies to things with the main goal of affecting herself, so she's not going to be ignoring babies in the middle of traffic because saving them would be hard work. Incidentally, while her personality would make one think otherwise, Akane does have the capacity to be 'super serious'. This is usually indicated by something causing her perpetual smile to drop into something resembling a flat expression, but as we all know that doesn't happen all that often. Lastly, unlike the rest of the people considered to be on her level of power, Akane doesn't hold any rivalries with any of them because, in her words, "that wouldn't be a very fun thing to do, being focused on beating someone all the time." Of course, this doesn't mean that the others don't consider her a rival.

Ability:
AEK-Class-V-Type-Black: "Scalar Change"
Scalar Change describes the ability exclusively used by Uno Mundus' strongest ESPer to manipulate zeroth ranked tensors, also known as scalars. A scalar is a quantity which is completely specified by its magnitude, unlike first ranked tensors/vectors which describe quantities with magnitude and direction. Naturally, a power like that is absolutely ridiculous in terms of flexibility, reaching from altering one's speed to providing a form of psuedo-teleportation to hijacking radio frequencies and even to flight of all things. Fortunately, the user isn't able to affect abstract concepts that affect all of causality, such as time and probability, at her current level of power. In fact, it's theorized that, should the user figure out how to do so, she would become an entity close to that of God. Thankfully, the amount of mental processing power triggering (not to mention controlling) a feat like that would be absolutely inhuman, and the repercussions disastrous should the user allow the metaphysical calculations to spin out of control.

Perhaps luckily for the rest of existence, the current capacity of Scalar Change is that of tangible factors. Distance, length, weight, height, speed, mass, electric potential, charge, temperature, etc... If it can be experienced in the physical realm and described as a scalar, it can be controlled. However, very rarely will the strongest delve into the truly offensive capabilities of her power, so you won't be seeing absurdly powerful punches or a projectile shot past the speed of sound every other minute. Rather, the user tends to use it for more mundane utilities, like heating her food instantly, 'teleporting' to where she wants to go, shortening her absurdly long hair, or cheating at sports. However, the changes made by the ability aren't permanent. For example, if the user were to revert a rock's speed to 0, what's stopping the rock manipulator from regaining that speed? Lastly, the greatest enemy to this power isn't people or surprise attacks, but rather the environment. While the user could run at absurdly fast, supersonic speeds, air friction will tear her apart. If you think she can remedy this by removing the air in her way, say hello to a lack of oxygen and a vacuum. In the same vein, while she could punch you with several exatons of force, she'd probably destroy her own body in the process.

Details

• Only tangible scalars are affected, not conceptual scalars that can affect all of casuality
• The manipulation of the scalar value of distance, as well as select others, are not affected by the 'within AIM Dispersion Field' clause.
• Cannot affect unknown, magical, or divine scalar values... Yet.
• The first time a scalar value enters Akane's AIM, it essentially acts a vaccine to allow her to better understand the laws of that target's scalars
• Akane cannot turn the scalar value of quantity to 0
• Scalar Change cannot affect scalar values being directly influenced by another ESPer's AIM, though once it leaves their AIM or control, it's fair game.
• It is currently the single most powerful ESPer ability in the history of Uno Mundus.

Personality:

Ability:
Yuki possesses the capacity to cast magic, although instead of using magic as his be-all-end-all form of attack, he uses it merely as a supplement to his existing non-magical combat style. Consequently, everyone's favorite trap isn't concerned with studying the Art to gain more knowledge and thus increase his magical arsenal, despite how useful having a wider arsenal of spells to choose from would be, which makes him rather unorthodox - less a magician who focuses on using magic to do things, and more a spellcaster who does things and occasionally uses magic to do it. As such, Yuki's spells are more focused towards for before-battle preparation and stealth, not blasting things apart with magical destruction... necessarily, at least.

ESPer Classification

Still under construction.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESPER ABILITY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

The ESPer Ability Classification System was developed shortly after the creation of the first batch of ESPers in order to have a way organize and keep tabs on individual ESPers and the details of their abilities, as well as providing the as-of-then abilities informal names. The ESPer Ability Classification System classifies ESP abilities into seven broad categories based on the effect of the ability, and then into one of the five tiers based on the usefulness and/or power of the ability in question. Abilities are classified using the following format:

• A three-letter code indicating the user of the ability, using the first and last letter of their given name and the first letter of their surname. If a surname is unavailable, the first three letters of the given name will be used and vice versa.
• A numerical classification tier indicating strength of ability
• A single codeword color descriptor
• An informal description for the ability

Example: RNO-Class-III-Type-Black: "Reality Shift"
The naming system indicates that this is Ren Owari's ability (RNO), that it is at a level in which the ability can be considered useful in every day life (Class III), and that it is an anomalous ability (Type-Black). As well as its informal name, "Reality Shift"

Color Coordinated Codeword Descriptors

The following are the seven typings used to designate an ability's effect:

• Type-Red: Elemental. Abilities that deal with the elements, such as fire, water, lightning, etc. Light would not count, however, as it is a form of electromagnetic radiation, which falls under Weak Force which, in turn, falls under Type-Blue.
• Type-Green: Spatial-Temporal. Abilities that affect time and space, or how subjects interact with time and space. Examples include Teleportation, Telekinesis, and Mass Manipulation.
• Type-Blue: Forces. Abilities that deal with 'forces'. Gravitational Force, Strong Force, Kinetic Force, Pressure, Friction, etc.
• Type-Gold: Mental. Abilities that affect the minds of their targets. Examples include Telepathy, Mind Control, and Memory Manipulation.
• Type-Silver: Biological. Abilities that deal with a target's body. Examples include Regeneration, Super Strength, and Shapeshifting.
• Type-Bronze: Extrasensory. Abilities that deal with senses apart from the original five. Examples include Clairvoyance, Psychometry, or even just the enhancement of senses.
• Type-Black: Anomalous. Abilities that cannot be categorized according to the above descriptors.

Additionally, there exists an eighth color code to designate special cases in which ESPers are born with their abilities:

• Jewel: Gemstone. Abilities people are born with.

Numerical Classification Tiers

• Class-V -"The Eight Strongest ESPers in Uno Mundus." The highest point of power ESPers in Uno Mundus have achieved. They hold absolutely absurd amounts of power, far above any person with the same ability as them - assuming that their ability isn't unique, as is the case with a few. See list below for your examples.
• Class-IV - "Powers Strong or Versatile Enough to Be Used in, or Overpower, Almost Any Situation." The second most powerful batch of ESPers. Rather than have abilities only good for one thing, such as only combat or only utility, these abilities can be used in basically all of them. Of course, exceptions are made for abilities that aren't very versatile, such as Teleportation or Super Strength. In that case, it's a ranking that tells you how much raw power the ability has. Naturally, it's getting from !>II or II>III can't even be compared to getting from III>IV. Example: Telekinesis that can lift up cars and crush them, or coat a lock to figure out which numbers work by feeling for vibrations. Teleportation that can transport tonnes with a low margin of inaccuracy.
• Class-III - "Powers Useful for Daily Life." Power that can be consistently used, basically. Most populous classification, and fairly easy to get to from II. Example: Having Telekinesis that can set your table or move your friend's couch into his apartment. Teleporting hundreds of pounds with good accuracy. The ability to Teleport yourself immediately brings you up to III.
• Class-II - "Powers Too Weak to Be Useful Except Under Uncommon Circumstances." Somewhat similar to Class-I, but with more consistency in usage. The easiest class to jump to, and the second most populous. Example: Telekinesis that can lift up your spoon, as well as your fork and plate. Teleporting tens of pounds with okay accuracy
• Class-I - "Powers Too Weak to Be Useful Except Under Rare and Unusual Circumstances." Not completely powerless, in fact there are some pretty decent abilities that get thrown here due to their inability to be used with consistency. However, very rarely are abilities classed here because of overlap between I and II, as well as the ease of ranking up between them. Example: Telekinesis strong enough to only bend a spoon. Teleporting grams or ounces with shitty accuracy.

"Fwooooooosh! That... is the sound of FLUSHING."

Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

There was quite a loud engine-esque noise that Kaz had heard mere moments before the main hall went dark for a few seconds and a loud draconic cry was heard, causing Kaz to momentarily cover his ears. "Jesus Christ, what the hell was that?" he asked in a rather annoyed manner as he took his hands off his ears, still wondering what the hell that animal-like sound was. It definitely wasn't anything he'd heard before. For all he knew it was some kind of 15 foot tall robot dragon thing that the two newcomers he saw enter the door rode in on, like some kind of dragon rider from a scifi-fantasy novel.

He took a glance at the door when he saw it open up to reveal a rather tall, imposing looking fellow and a pink haired girl. It seemed that at least the imposing one had prior experience with others in the group, as the female military type who was training the timid girl from earlier decided to chat him up, probably to reminisce about some kind of awesome adventure they had a while back. He looked around the room for the pinknette and found her leaned against the door for some reason, as if holding something back. He glanced around at the people in the room and figured she was the only 'free' one - everyone else was in some kind of conversation, friendly or otherwise, except for the crazy bloke from earlier, who was on the ground doing SOMETHING or other.

Figuring that he had nothing to lose and he might as well start getting to know the folks he'd be protecting and would be protecting him, Kaz decided to chat up the pink haired girl. "You okay there?" he asked, having seen the door open and her push it back just then.

Kaz directed his attention to Aspen in order to watch the odd fellow do his thing. Quite obviously, it was evident that the guy didn't really have a full deck of cards. After the fellow left, the young mage turned to the rest of the group. "So uhh... who invited the crazy guy?" he asked, pointing his thumb down at the door he had just left through.

Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

"Hey boss, not late am I?" a graying dark-purple haired oriental asked rather nonchalantly as he entered the large meeting hall. He wasn't really dressed extravagantly or professionally, just a jacket around the same color as his hair along with sneakers and black pants. He also didn't look very physically imposing, more sick all things considered, but that was a discussion for another day.

A cursory glance around the room revealed that there were indeed quite a few people gathered in the area, some gathered around and about, and at least one hidden in the roof, whom Kazanari took a look up at and gave a nod towards in order to acknowledge that, yes, he can see her. The makeshift mage then shifted his attention from the rest of the group to the one he called 'boss', a man by the name of Jacob Lightwood who had taken him under his wing for the past year and taught him some snazzy tricks to use. He presumed that at least half of the people there were associates of the half-elf he had heard of quite a few times but never actually got to meet. Perhaps the others were like him, other people who got to 'learn from the best,' that'd be an entertaining enough thought.
