Chasers - Boundary of the Crimson Sky [remake]

Lucy

Name:
Lucille Renfield

Title:
The Countess

Gender:
Female

Age:
56

Height:
5' 6" / 1.67m

Weight:
143 lbs / 64.86kg

Appearance:

Lucy

Lucille often dresses in black or grey garments, as depicted above. She keeps her gun and extra magazines hidden in her overcoat and out of sight. She often wears high heels, which combined with her respectable height usually allows her to look down at most people. For the rare times that she is seen during daylight hours she wears sunglasses and carries a dark grey umbrella to shield herself from the sun. Her scarf is also on her person almost all the time, but especially during the day. Her skin is somewhat pale but remarkably smooth and young despite her age. There are no scars or blemishes on her body, not even under her clothes, though she does have a case of heterochromia (one iris purple, one iris pink). Her silver hair is mostly cropped to shoulder-length but some extends even beyond her waist. She appears as if she is in her twenties though that is far from the truth.

Personality:
A woman of class and dignity. Lucille was always very educated and time has only made her grow wiser. Her calm maturity comes as a surprise, as her behavior is akin to a woman in her fifties when she only looks to be in her twenties. To that same effect she can take a mothering nature to teenagers and young adults, considering she has experience raising children. She will baby fellow Chasers that are much younger than her, despite looking to be of a similar age, and she'll do it whether they like it or not.

While she is caring of others, particularly others younger than her, she still has the capability of turning cold at a moment's notice. Serious matters require serious efforts and Lucille is no fool. She can read a situation quite accurately and act accordingly without skipping a beat, much in the same way she can understand other people and treat them accordingly. Her empathy and respectful nature makes many consider her to be a mother-like figure or perhaps a matriarch among the Chasers. She isn't particularly known for getting angry, but nobody wants to see her when she is. Any outbursts of rage are quite dangerous considering her abilities but thankfully it isn't easy to push her to that point. Lucille only gets angry when other Chasers get hurt, and she only becomes enraged in similar but more extreme circumstances.

Short Bio:
Born as Lucille Ptackova in the Czech Republic, she married into the wealthy Renfield family with her university sweetheart Milo Renfield at the age of 27. The Renfield family had been the owners of a famous textile company for generations, with Milo's father being the CEO of the HatCo. corporation at the time. Though her life was rich and leisurely it was relatively unremarkable. Lucille and Milo had two children, both boys named Steven and Harold, who were groomed to become the next owners of their family's corporation. Milo, however, tragically passed away from a terminal illness at the young age of 45, leaving Lucille a widowed mother.

The Renfield family was eventually able to cope with the loss. Her two boys grew up smart and capable, and are studying at Oxford University in the present day. This left a middle-aged Lucille all to her own devices. With no husband, no kids at home, and no real job, she had a lot of free time. She took up travel as a hobby, visiting many places across the world. The Crimson Sky wasn't on her itinerary, but lo and behold she wound up taking a wrong turn somewhere and her life has never been the same since. The aging woman was attacked by a humanoid creature in the middle of the night, being easily over-powered and forced to the ground for it to suck her blood from her neck. Lucille refused to go out without a fight though, drawing her concealed handgun and firing the entire magazine into the Youkai's head. This splattered its blood across her face but got her free, which she took the opportunity to run as hard and as far as possible.

It wasn't until the next day, in her hotel room, did Lucille see changes in her body. Her wrinkles and blemishes were all gone and she looked twenty years younger. She also learned quickly that sunlight was intolerable, to say the least. She had been thrown into the world of the Crimson Sky and had to change her lifestyle to fit her new needs. She became largely nocturnal and reclusive. She only communicated with her children and family by phone and never attended any business meetings except through video conferences. Most importantly Lucille began researching the Crimson Sky and vampires, which eventually got her noticed by the Chasers. As a woman of status and wealth the Chasers had a tough time tracking her down, but now she has become fully integrated into their ranks. Being a Chaser has broken her mid-life crisis of monotony, giving her something to do with her new powers and free time. And considering they mostly worked at night it was icing on the cake. She dreads the day she will have to tell the truth to her sons, but the mystery, intrigue, and action of being a Chaser is a great way to keep the thought off her mind.

Powers:
Vampirism

Vampirism

Vampires have many abilities and traits, so for ease of understanding they will be laid out in two categories of "strengths" and "weaknesses". Some physical attributes include having enlarged canines, pale skin, youthful appearances, and low-fat athletic body frames.

Strengths - Lucille has strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond that of normal human beings. She can't quite dodge bullets but she can outrun most motor vehicles in a sprint. Speaking of motor vehicles it is actually quite easy for her to pick up a sedan and throw it though heavy vehicles such as buses and semis might be a little too much for her. Her endurance is also frighteningly good, allowing her to survive typically lethal attacks such as decapitation. She has a natural regenerative ability to heal most wounds within a few minutes, but regrowing mutilated parts isn't within her ability. She would have to reattach missing limbs and heal them back into place. To the same effect she has eternal youth, granting her a youthful appearance for the entire duration of her almost immortal life. Her senses are honed far beyond normal humans as well, allowing her to have flawless vision in the dark and a hound-like sense of smell and sound. She doesn't need to eat or drink to nourish herself, only drink blood. Though she can still enjoy the taste of most foods as she chooses. Lucille can create minions by biting a creature without completely draining them of their blood. They become subservient to her and lose all capability to resist her influence. Conversely she can create other vampires by letting other creatures drink her own blood, though they do not become natural servants to her.

Weaknesses - Even the most infamous of vampires have their weaknesses. The biggest weakness by far is the sun. Contact with direct sunlight will burn Lucille, even if it was only for an instant. It would only take a few seconds of direct exposure to burn her to a crisp. UV lights also burn her but to a lesser degree, taking over a minute of exposure to destroy her. While mutilation isn't fatal by itself, Lucille cannot control missing body parts. Though she has a natural resistance to poisons she is not completely immune, making poison a good way to temporarily disable her though there is no toxin potent enough to knock her out for much longer than a minute. Silver and Holy Water are natural weaknesses as well, causing burning sensations where applied. A silver sword can deal good damage against her, reducing or temporarily disabling her regeneration factor. Ultimately she only has three fatal weaknesses: sunlight, malnourishment, and silver striking her heart. She can feel pain to a certain degree, but anything short of those three conditions will fail to kill her. She needs blood to survive but can go up to a week without drinking blood. Any blood will do (except her own), but human blood is the most nourishing. If she takes longer than eight days to nourish herself than she will most likely die of starvation.

Magic

Magic

Lucille has a natural affinity for magic and has been trained over the past couple years by a fellow vampire named Aria. She is not well practiced and could stand to improve in this regard, but she can perform feats of magic to a certain degree.

Telekinesis - A limited form of telekinesis. Though not strong enough to move other creatures around it can be used for things like cups, plates, or chairs. Lucille primarily uses this to manipulate her weapons and to bring back mutilated or destroyed body parts.

Levitation - Lucille can use magic to levitate in place. This is similar to her natural telekinesis, but it only applies to herself. She isn't strong enough to magically lift another person.

Telepathy - Lucille can read the minds of others to a limited degree. It only allows her to hear what they are thinking in the moment, but she can also place her own thoughts into their head. This can be used as a way to silently communicate, as well as becoming an effective translator for non-human creatures. It is because of this magic that Lucille can communicate with dogs, cats, bats, etc.

Weapons:
Colt M1911 Pistol - Because .45 ACP is better than 9mm Parabellum. Hollow-point rounds are used for maximum organic damage. Lucille's gun is always her first method of attack.

Equipment:
Sunglasses - zztopcheapsunglasses.mp4
Umbrella - Designed to protect from rain, used to protect from sun.
Designer Purse - An expensive handbag, popular among wealthy women, used for storing money, keys, and other miscellaneous tools or trinkets. Lucille's contains money, keys, an address book, a wallet, her phone, and hand sanitizer.

Her endurance and regenerative capabilities are also frighteningly good, allowing her to survive typically lethal attacks such as decapitation. She can regrow a hand within a few minutes or an entire limb within an hour, though this will take longer if she cannot nourish herself during her recovery. Or she can simply reattach the mutilated part for instant recovery. Even if she was torn to shreds by a monster her pieces would supernaturally come back together overnight. To the same effect she has eternal youth, granting her a youthful appearance for the entire duration of her almost immortal life. She can shape-shift to a certain degree, allowing herself to grow bat-like wings from her back to gain the ability to fly. Lucille even has a capacity for magic, as most vampires do, though she is still largely inexperienced in that field. Her senses are honed far beyond normal humans as well, allowing her to have flawless vision in the dark and a hound-like sense of smell and sound.

Katsuko Moto

@Akai no Senshi@GrafRoy Zeppeli@Raijinslayer

The two chuunin were quick to understand the situation and opt for an alternate entrance. Katsuko knew they would probably set off a trap as well, but this would force the enemy to split up as well as them. Katsuko remained standing in the same spot until the rooftop entrance opened and several young shinobi appeared. Now he could move around without consequence. The three Confederate shinobi that appeared before him began to spread out quickly but Katsuko already dashed towards the center one, whom decided to throw shuriken at him in an attempt to keep him at bay. That plan backfired quickly as the red-haired man flipped to the side away from the barrage, sticking his arm out in the process and catching three of the shuriken between his knuckles. The moment he was back on his feet from his dodge he launched them towards the one throwing strange senbon needles at him. The needles didn't seem to be aimed directly at him, as only one stuck into his right arm and seemed to do very little to slow him down.

He's trying to use a genjutsu, judging by the bells, Katsuko noted, jumping straight into the air several meters to avoid the incoming fire technique. He used his other arm to remove the senbon and toss it away before returning his gaze to the rooftop below. I'm just gonna take them all out at once and make a shortcut into the building at the same time. He raised his left leg, coming down from the sky with an axe kick already prepared. But to make matters worse he activated his Chakra Enhanced Strength. The rooftop wasn't going to survive this attack. "Outta my way!" Katsuko called out as he slammed the heel of his foot onto the roof. The impact immediately shattered the rooftop, sending debris and the three shinobi flying. Considering the lack of a direct hit it was very likely that they took little to no damage, but the chaos and confusion coupled with the distance they'd get would provide a brief reprieve from their attacks. The shinobi were knocked off the building completely, though it wasn't like they would be particularly injured from the event. Just dazed and shaken.

With the roof caved in, Katsuko landed on the floor below with a somersault. He was on his feet in a split-second, fists prepared to strike any nearby enemies. But there were none. Everyone in the building must've felt that one. Oh well. Better catch up to the kids. I think they're on the floor below me, if not this one. The jounin took a look around, quickly determining that the room he fell into wasn't part of the Archive's storage and accordingly wouldn't have the sewer plans. Akio wasn't among the ones that searched the roof, so she's probably responding to their entry. They can probably stand up to her if they work together. Wait a minute. I could've sworn I heard something... Katsuko looked back up towards the now open roof. Saketsui jumped up right as I broke the ceiling, didn't he? Where did he go from there? Did I knock him down to the ground level as well or is he still up there?

Mirai Yumiya

@Raijinslayer

Mirai didn't walk very far before encountering a red-headed boy. A tall one at that. She had to tilt her umbrella slightly to look up at him. Tatsuya had started talking to her out of the blue, something that clearly surprised her judging by her silent stare that he received in return. Only after an awkward moment of silence did Mirai realize that she should probably respond to him. The realization she had was visible as well, as the blank stare was wiped away by a shocked expression before relaxing into a neutral state. "My friend? Have I met you before?" she answered, clearly confused as to how he could know about Aneko if she had never met Tatsuya before. She tried to rack her brain for a moment but was drawing blanks.

Oh well, may as well answer him. "She's out on patrol today, yes," Mirai finally answered. "And she's a family friend. I've known her all my life." That answer was much better than saying Aneko's main job for the past seventeen years was to watch over Mirai and take care of her. It would be too embarrassing to say something like that to people who wouldn't understand the position she's in. The blue-haired girl looked away from Tatsuya for a moment, feeling like he was staring at her too much. It's definitely my arm. She brushed the hair out of her face for a moment, a natural motion whenever she's feeling a bit nervous or anxious. This revealed her blind eye briefly, but considering she couldn't see out of it it didn't occur to her that it was visible. "Wait... You were at the meeting yesterday, weren't you?" She returned her attention to the boy. She just realized that he was standing in the rain completely comfortable without an umbrella. Hers was far too small to share with him so she didn't even consider it, but it seemed strange to her that someone would be perfectly fine with the weather.

A grin formed on the jonin's face. "I like the confidence I'm feeling here," Katsuko remarked aloud, slowly getting back to his feet from his relaxed position on the floor. "I should also note that we should pilfer a few extra things while we're there." At this point Katsuko was deviating from the mission objective that Seijo had given him. He turned to face the Archive down the street, looking down on it for one final scan for enemies. "When they check what is missing afterwards they will have a harder time identifying what we truly wanted if we stole more than just the sewer plans. It would be obvious what our future goals would be if that was the only thing missing, ya know."

Without any further ado Katsuko leaped off the rooftop they were on towards the archive building. It was a bit distant, but he was able to clear the distance in one jump with his impressive physical capability. However, the moment he landed on the rooftop he felt something underneath his hands and feet. A small electric shock jolted through his body when he landed on the strings, causing him to briefly tense up. The damage they dealt was negligible but Katsuko's mistake certainly wasn't. A scowl formed on his face. Why would she be using a technique like this right now? We just launched an attack yesterday. There's no way they could've predicted us to show up again at this exact location! But it didn't matter what was expected or what wasn't. Fact was that he just triggered some sort of early detection technique. And Mikoto and Saketsui might set it off as well when they caught up. Right now they would only detect one person and they wouldn't even be sure if it was a raid yet or not. A bird could've set off the trap for all they know. But if everyone sets this off in different spots it will suddenly get incredibly suspicious.

He turned back to face Mikoto and Saketsui, who by now were probably just about to jump onto the rooftop as well. Rather than using words, an action that would come with the risk of further detection, Katsuko crossed his arms overs his chest and motioned outward to make an 'X' gesture. It was a sign for them to not come any closer. Someone's going to come check the roof in a moment. I'll dispatch that person while these two... Katsuko then motioned to his right, the east side of the building. They can go in through one of the windows. They'll set off the trap as well but having two angles of attack is better than one. After pointing to his right he made a downward motion and then brought his hand back in, a gesture for them to break in through a window on that side of the building. He hadn't established any hand signals before the mission with them, so he hoped they understood it in one go. He then brought his attention to the rooftop entrance, standing perfectly still in the same spot as he waited for someone to come up. Man, if I mess this up... That'll be embarrassing.

Mirai Yumiya

Something seemed amiss to Mirai rather quickly. She had been informed that she would be going to Amegakure's outpost from here, but there must've been a mix-up on her end. She thought it was with Yakoul. Evidently it wasn't. Kanata joined in the limousine and seemed quite relieved to see Mirai and was particularly enthusiastic with her greeting. The blue-haired girl became visibly flustered when Kanata grabbed her hands. Not that she took the situation sexually, but she was self-conscious about her prosthetic arm and was quick to retract it from the other girl's grip. "It's... good to see you too," she finally responded, though her eyes moved towards Yakoul as he began talking on the phone.

Yelling was what he was really doing. In his usual, vulgar fashion. Something Mirai would never get used to, nor would she ever want to. He was clearly the most displeased with her mistake. Rather than say anything and possibly compound her mistakes further, Mirai decided to avoid talking with him for the time being. That is, until he referred to her as 'robocop'. At that point she purposefully avoided looking at him. In her best effort to pretend that his words didn't hurt her emotionally she played as if she simply didn't hear him. Her prosthetic fingers curled and uncurled a few times, like how someone would test if they had feeling in their hand after it fell asleep, but she quickly stopped and did her best to avoid bringing attention to herself and especially her robotic arm. "You never gave me your phone number, yesterday," Mirai informed Kanata, reminding the other girl about her mistake the previous day to derail the possible conversation that would focus on Mirai's current mistake today.

---

The trip to Ame was relatively uneventful. Mirai mostly ignored, or at least tried to, whatever Yakoul spoke about. She didn't like him, and she definitely didn't want to hear what he had to say. He was a superior, however, and so she only paid attention whenever he would directly address her. She spent most of the time, however, conversing with Kanata. They even exchanged phone numbers so that Mirai could get a hold of her new friend in the future rather than relying on chance to see her. Considering the 'war' they were going to be getting into, however, it didn't seem like they would be spending too much time together socially in the near future. When they finally reached Amegakure and stopped, Mirai felt like something was wrong. This isn't the outpost. Why are we stopping here? She didn't voice this, of course, but she looked to Yakoul for answers.

And an answer he gave her.

Like something out of a corny movie or cartoon, Mirai's seat in the limousine rocketed into the air with her still buckled in. She let out a girlish scream of surprise the entire way up into the air, only ceasing the embarrassing reaction around the peak of her flight. What is going on!? Why would he do this to me!? As the ejected seat began to descend over the Ame Outpost, Mirai began to panic slightly due to the angle of her descent. She began tilting forward naturally and realized that landing on her head would be undesirable for a number of reasons. Her prosthetic arm reached to the seatbelt over her chest, easily ripping the leather and freeing herself from the seat. She may not be the most athletic or skilled shinobi, but from that point on she was able to right herself in the air and land on her feet.

Similarly like a cartoon, Mirai began to skid across the ground when she landed. She held her arms out to her side and kept balance for the several meters it took to come to a halt. The seat had landed after her, due to being lighter, almost right on top of her. It made a cracking noise and bounced a few times, but seemed relatively intact and didn't hit anybody or anything. Was it luck that she was unharmed and nobody else was? Did Yakoul predict this outcome or did he not even care beyond getting her out of the car? I wish I could complain to father about him, but someone important like a general would never get fired just for being mean, Mirai wondered to herself, taking a moment to brush any dust off her clothes. She didn't even realize it was raining until now, prompting her to scramble into the rucksack she brought along. A small umbrella was procured and she promptly opened it to protect herself from getting drenched any further. She held the umbrella in her prosthetic hand while she used her right arm to pull out the plastic badge from her pocket and fix it to her chest again.

I suppose I should have this on. It probably means something. Or it's a cruel prank from the cat man... With a relenting sigh, Mirai strode forth into the Amegakure Outpost. It seemed nobody witnessed her landing, though she couldn't have been able to tell if anyone heard her earlier scream or not. It was a good distance away from when she made the ruckus, after all. So at least she felt confident nobody could've heard that. And even if they did they probably wouldn't associate it with her. Right? I guess I should find something to do or someone to tell me what is going on. It's always so confusing without Aneko. She's much better at keeping track of things than I am.

Katsuko Moto

@GrafRoy Zeppeli@Akai no Senshi

The last minute change to Katsuko's missions was a bit annoying, but Seijo was the boss and he couldn't complain too much. An Uchiha boy was added to the squad, which honestly was more of a blessing than anything else. They'd need firepower more than anything else, though Katsuko wasn't worried about the conditions in the slightest. He looked up at the sky for a moment before returning his gaze to Sunagakure below. He stood atop one of the rooftops of the northern section of the city, with Mikoto and Saketsui behind him. His quick scan over the city showed no obvious signs of abnormal Confederate activity. Katsuko then stepped back from the edge and sat down casually while facing his two comrades.

"So nothing seems out of place so far," he informed the two, rubbing the back of his head as he spoke. "So we'll do this fairly simply. We'll be heavily outnumbered by chuunin and jonin rank Confederate supporters. Normally that would require some stealth to compensate, but what we can do is compensate by speed. They aren't in a condensed area. If we strike hard and fast we can leave without having to fight every one of them." Katsuko paused a moment to stretch his back and pop his neck a few times. "Our objective is to break into the archive a few blocks away and steal the sewer plans for Old Amegakure. The city is crawling with enemies, but the archive will only have a handful of opponents. The faster we go, the easier it will be."

Katsuko then looked up to the two younger men before him. "Our second mission is a bit more difficult but it will go hand-in-hand with our first objective. There is a particular jonin in this city that we have been tasked to kill. Saketsui over here might already know of her. Akio Tendou, from Konohagakure. She's a few years older than me and was known to be pretty strong before she became an alcoholic. If she is by herself it will be trivial to defeat her between the three of us, but don't expect luck to be in our favor. It is likely that she will simply be among a dozen or so shinobi that will try to kill us. That will make things more difficult, naturally."

The jonin looked over his shoulder over Suna again. He could still see the archive building, where the plans were and likely where Akio was. "If she is not by herself then leave her to me and handle any other enemies. Not to be rude but she is an opponent that certainly outclasses the two of you. But to that same respect: I outclass her. A one-versus-one situation would be the best if we can get that." Now he returned his gaze to Mikoto and Saketsui. "Fairly straightforward, yeah? Any last questions or concerns before we go in? Once we start we won't have any time to take a breather until we're out of the city."

Mirai Yumiya

@Savato@KenyeIsMyLife

Today she would have to go without Aneko's assistance. They had been assigned to different jobs after all, and if Mirai was going to be in charge of something then she would look bad if she was constantly being tailed and assisted by her servant. Sunagakure was a nice city, much fancier than Amegakure or Konohagakure. But at the same time it felt strange compared to Ame. Suna had large, lavish buildings but it felt less productive. There was a lot of money but Mirai couldn't see where all the labor was at. It didn't matter to her either way. Her father was filthy rich, after all, and was one of the men who helped bring Suna to its current state by investing in businesses here. The Yumiya family always had money and her father made a lot more than he inherited. That was how he was able to support the Hamajo Confederation so strongly in terms of financing. His donations secured the Yumiya family in the inner workings of the Confederation, providing safety and exclusive benefits. Mirai had to be thankful that her surname wasn't a famous one, as it wasn't attached to any business names. If people knew who she was on sight then she would have a lot harder of a time than she already has, socially speaking.

Speaking of being social and dealing with people, Mirai had to spend time with Yakoul again. The cat man was creepy and vulgar, it was only made worse that he was in a position of power within the Confederation. Speaking out against him would be like speaking out against a brick wall. Everyone else could understand that he isn't a great person to spend time with, but nobody would care enough to try to do anything about it. Oddly enough, however, Mirai was to be joining him by limousine. It was a mode of transportation that Mirai was familiar with, as the few times she went anywhere with her parents was in a limo, but it was strange to consider Yakoul inside one. Once the blue-haired teenager stepped inside the limo and sat down, she could confirm that actually seeing Yakoul in the vehicle was just as strange as the thought.

"Umm..." She didn't really know how she should greet him. Should she address him as her superior? But then again he always seemed so informal that maybe he wouldn't like that. Whether the situation was inherently awkward or not, Mirai sure made it awkward with her entrance. She averted her eyes from Yakoul now, brushing her hair a bit to help ease herself out of the awkwardness. In that brief moment her blind eye that was normally covered by her bangs was visible, but only for that moment as her hair fell back into place. "So... What are we supposed to be doing today?" It was a simple icebreaker, and she really didn't have much of an idea as to what Yakoul would want with her. It had to be something to do with the badge he gave her before, that much Mirai knew. But she couldn't tell what the general was thinking at all so her guess may as well be a shot in the dark.

Ward HQ

With one final sigh, Alex stood up from his bed and returned his mask back to his face where it belonged. "Maybe we'll get lucky and there'll be a bank robbery or something," he mused to himself before marching to his bedroom door. He was about to open it when he heard the TV click on in the living room. He didn't notice anyone come in. But then again he was talking to himself the whole time so it wasn't impossible to assume he just didn't hear them. Alex already guessed it was Scarlet by the time he opened the door, letting his eyes confirm it.

"Hey, Scarlet," he greeted casually, holding up his hand that was still holding the patrol schedule. "So you and I will be working together today. We got a terrible time for actually fighting crime, but should the need arise just remember not to steal the limelight. I'll let you capture the small fry but if something big happens then I've got dibs." Alex, or rather he was Chroma now, knew he was being immature. But he did feel threatened by Scarlet and had to put some kind of damage control on the patrol situation. She did have the potential to outshine him when working together, something that Chroma didn't like in the slightest. The young Ward lowered the schedule and ran his free hand through his blonde hair, slicking it back with ease despite not having any gel. Now he was completely in costume. "I'm gonna get a quick snack before we head out. I like to start my patrols early; punctuality is an important part of being a hero. The hero that doesn't show up in time is the hero that doesn't save the day."
