God’s Shattering

Exilia

It seemed that luck, or rather, skill and grit saved Fei and Jessi from being pummeled to death by the first wave of the raging mob or rabble and scum, but as they say 'It only gets worse' and soon enough the remnants of the wretched circled them, like vultures waiting to prey at a dying animal.

Their twisted smile, like frothing hyenas, heralded doom for the duo of Imperials as it became rather evident that no matter how many they killed there would be more to takes the place. Soon enough, one of them dived at them, wielding what looked like a crooked ax that was meant more to crush than to cut... it was the sign for the slaughter to begin.

And, it did, but the first one to meet his fate was the ax-wielding psycho who found out that his heart had been pierced by a lance belonging to a doll-like construct. Anyone in the whole of Exilia knew what that meant and thus they stepped back, fearing for their very lives, the one who stepped inside the decrepit tavern.

"Most impressive", a girl's voice said, upon a simple head turn, one could ascertain that it came from a blonde with an enigmatic smile in her face. The girl was of mean height and build (just about Fei's size), her hair reached just about her shoulders in the front, with the back tied into a single braid and she wore what could be better described as a mix-and-match combination of a battle armor and a blue dress. Beside the girl an number of dolls just like the one that had just killed the ruthless ruffian laid in wait, ready to execute every of their mistress' commands*.

"Your efforts moved me", the one that could be none other than Emilia -The Puppeteer of Warovia- herself said, with more than a little excitement coloring her discourse. "When I heard about it, I could barely believe, but it's in fact true that no one else other than the child of the Blood Knight had come to my lands in exile. What do I owe the pleasure of this meeting to, Fei, daughter of Asgard?"

With the pleasantries taken care over, Emilia turned to Jessi and smiled as she regarded the way he seemed to be about to crumble to pieces. "Oh, and let us not forget the valiant knight who fought through life and limb to save the princess of Flaming Hair, one such as you deserves a place to rest and a balm to sooth your wounds, thus I propose that we continue our conversation in my humble habitation. Of course it's much less luxurious than what your mistress may be used to, but they are there best this forsaken land has to offer."

"Of course, you are free to turn down my hospitality. But, I wonder, how long it'll take for you remains to be feeding the pigs, if that's your choice?" Emilia said with a knowing smirk, anticipating the initial refusal of the duo. Indeed, their choice was between taking their chances with a declared enemy of Fei's mother, or fight until they could no more and succumb to the hands of the mob that even now was held at bay only because of Emilia's dreadful presence.

Aquaria, the City of Water

After a couple days or so, traveling on the airship full of luxuries that are usual for this kind of transportation, the group composed by Alex, Tori and the Aquarian twins arrived in the grand city of Aquaria the trading heart of the Imperium. The foxy twins wasted no time in bounding off the ship as soon as it had been docked with smiles beamed on their face as soon as they were greeted by the smell of the abundant water and the sound of the waterfalls who was like a gentle lullaby for them.

"Ha ha, we're back home, Linea! Quick, let's go see mom!" Sienna said in her typical energetic way, though it looked like she was even more excited than usual.

"Indeed, Oneesama, we are back." Linea replied in her usual shy way, though even she looked to be a bit eager to meet their mother after months away from home, if her wagging tail was of any indication. Yet, before her sister dragged her as usual, Linea took the time to turn to their guests and bow, before apologizing, "I'm sorry, but it has been a long time since we left. If it's not imposing, we would appreciate if you came and had lunch with us. I'm sure mother will be glad as well."

And, with that said, the twins, or better Sienna, dashed out to meet their mother at the Grand Library of Aquaria, second to none but Imperial Library resting at the cradle of the Imperium.

• • •

"Ah, I'm sorry if my daughters gave you any trouble, please take a seat and let's enjoy this afternoon meal." Surprisingly, the twins' mother didn't even looked to be that much older when compared with her daughters, yet the semblance between them was quite clear.

"So, I take it that you're here to explore Arcadia, right? Oh, this bring some memories back..." The fox woman spoke in a soft voice as they sat around a table in one of the upper alcoves of the library that also double as the Aquarian family's habitation. From the open porch a breeze swayed in the room, carrying the cool smell of the abundant water and of the water lilies that dotted the city more still ponds, before them a large selection of foodstuffs from all over the land decorated the table, a meal worthy of even the Imperator so to say.

"Talking about memories." The fox woman said, regarding Tori, "Ara~ Tori my dear, it has been ages since I last seen you. You've grown so much; now you're a fine young woman. I bet the boys must not give you a moment of peace, right~?" This last dragged comment, was said with a knowing tone as the fox woman shot a narrowed eyes glance at Alex. Perhaps, was she seeing something that wasn't there, or... who knows?

"Ara ara! Please excuse this old woman's ramblings, I'm clearly letting my mind wander off, right?" She said, chuckling heartily just a moment after. "By the way, excuse me for the lack of introductions", the fox woman regarded Alex, since she was already acquainted with Tori (in fact, being one of the young librarian's teachers and the one who introduced Tori to their shared profession), "I'm Berlina Aquarian, the Head Librarian here at the Grand Library. Also, the mother of these two, hopefully not very troublesome puppies and Deputy Queen of this province. Though, don't let this tick you off, the only thing this titles ensure is that I have so much paperwork to do that I barely ever get the chance to leave the office. Really, I'm not special at all."

Despite the way she said it, it was clear that Berlina was a more than a bit proud, or perhaps even... haughty about her position, if the smug smile she had on while she waited for Tori's and Alex's reply was of any indication.

@Queue13

No, there's a whole world out there (the Crimson Sky) that poses a threat for rogue Chasers, not just the Association. Also, all of the organizations want to keep the masquerade, though, each of them as their own reason for such.

Also no, powers are perfectly usable on the normal world, unless they have a restriction specified by the players themselves.

"Hahahaha... Impressive, human! Your skills are not to be underestimated, but this is were your foolishness ends." A voice echoed between the empty building and desert alleyways, regarding Vincent with interest as if whoever owned it were issuing a challenge to the Executioner.

A moment later, Vincent would notice that the voice didn't came from one fixed point, but from at least four different directions, from what looked like four identical Youkai draped in heavily concealing robes and wielding identical pairs of swords bathed in crimson flames and connected to each other by a lenght of chain.

These were no ordinary Youkai and as such it was obvious that they had appeared before Vincent with a purpose which would be made clear as soon as they spoke in unison again "Do you think of your self as the only slayer? Don't you believe there are some of us that exist only to dispose of you? Hahaha... such innocence; perhaps it's about time you join your sibling on the world of the dead."

As they said so, the Youkai swung their blades and shot forth balls of flame, each of them as damaging as a RPG shot, toward Vincent, before three of them leaped of the buildings they stood, to rake at the Chaser from each of his sides as well as from behind, adding the momentum of the free fall to their already considerable strength.

"Yes, mistre- I mean, master", Ellie said upon the command of Aria to get their tea party ready. Barely a minute later and she was back with all that was requested in telekinetic hands following her, and crept behind Alice while the conceited girl talked with Ellie's master.

"Oh~ Miss Alice, it's been ages since we had mention of you. Or did it seem like ages because we haven't been graced with your presence?" As Ellie got closer and closer, her behavior was getting more and more pronounced to the point that she ignored Atlas' advances (which wasn't a common occurrence by any means), but anyone would understand her, no? After all how could Ellie keep her cool when someone like Alice was nearby? Oh, if only she could...

"Here, Miss Alice, let me give you a massage, while you read this letter that we received the other day." As Ellie said so, she reached into one of her pockets and drew an envelope sealed with wax with the words 'For the True Alice' written on the front, inside Alice would find instead of a letter, a single playing card, however the meaning of it was sure to send shivers down her spine for it was none other than the Queen of Hearts. What could this mean?

Despite all that, Ellie's hands continued to creep dangerously close to Alice's gentle hills, if nothing was done, who knows what else would the enticed vampire-demon girl do?

Genesis: Land of the Gods

Jormungandr

Rumaan

"Give me this many." A young woman said to the man behind a food stall, as she placed quite a sum of money, waiting for the supposed merchant to sell her the some of yakitori that was making her stomach growl with its delicious smell.

"Bu- but, are you sure, lady that's-"

"I said give me this many!" Jormungandr slammed her palm on the man's stall, looking quite furious that the man didn't wanted to sell his food to her. She gave him money, what more he could want?

"O- ok, miss, I- I'm sorry."

A few minutes later and Jormungandr was walking the streets holding a paper bag filled to the brim with the hot and spicy treats, eating them as she walked and discarding the sticks with little to no regard of where they would land. Apparently the village was in chaos, with people running everywhere, and screaming like crazy and a purple sky that made Jormungandr want to have grapes for her next meal.

Seriously, what was happening? Jormungandr didn't understood and wasn't interested in doing so. Even the sight of the few uncommon people like the tengu trying to play the hero or the eye-patched girl picked the eyes of the corpses meant nothing to Jormungandr as she walked searching for somewhere to sleep.

It was so until a Blackened pounced on her unsuspecting form and caused her to drop her bag of food, only to crush it with his foot. A look of shock took Jormungandr's face and she finished her last yakitori stick between tears of sadness for the lost food, before glaring at the Blackened with rage in her eyes.

"How dare you? That was my food!" Jormungandr yelled, a moment after a portion of the space besides the Blackened collapsed suddenly, compressing the air until it exploded as a ball of plasma, incinerating the creature. "My food you hear me! You don't step on my food!" With her heart full of rage, Jormungandr stomped the ground, summoning her sword with a shock wave that sent the chunks of earth flying everywhere like a carpet bombardment.

"YOU DON'T MESS WITH MY FOOD!" Jormungandr shouted, readying herself to slaughter every last one of the Blackened and whoever else got in the way.

Genesis: Land of the Gods

Jormungandr

Jormungandr

Name:

Jormungandr.

Nicknames/Titles:

Jorm, The Snake of the Endless.

Age:

Unknown, but she looks to be in her late teens or early 20s.

Gender/Sex:

Female.

Birthday:

November 12 (Zodiac: Scorpio).

Occupation:

Technically, she's a vagabond but doubles as mercenary, bounty hunter and even bandit, when she needs to.

Where they live:

Wanderer, but she generally sticks to Edelweiss' mountain ranges and forests, since it's easy to make a living there.

Species:

Originally human, now she's bound to and inhabited by the spirit of World's Serpent, an ancient being of untold power. What this makes of her, is unknown even for Jormungandr, not that she cares for it anyway.

Personality:

Jormungandr, or Jorm for the intimates, is mysterious being with a serious disposition, or so it seems. Generally she isn't so much interested in idle chatter and frivolities, striking the impression of being seriously tense and dry in her daily relationships. That is, until you get to know that all that seeming uptightness is in fact a slightly morose facade that she projects unconsciously.

Her true self, while being serious to an extent, is way more laidback, to the point that calling her slacker wouldn't be very off the mark. Though, it's more like Jormungandr isn't good with anything that doesn't involve fighting. Most of the time she isn't trading blows with something, she'll be found either sleeping, or eating, both qualities that she display to an astounding degree.

Lastly, Jormungandr seems to be severely lacking in the matter of self consciousness and shame, since she has no qualms about walking around in an impossibly skimpy armor that leaves about nothing to the imagination, but still manages to protect her with a full body force field, without demonstrating any significant reaction. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that the snake was supposed to be a male and bonding with a woman has kind screwed its common sense, or just because she is an exhibitionist, who knows?

Bio:

Little is known about the individual known as Jormungandr, and the few accounts that are spread though the land usually clash with one another making sure that not one true story can be pieced together, not without a lot of effort, at least.

The most known, and probably closest to the truth of these tales say that Jormungandr was once a humble farmgirl born into a village of Zin that was used to long droughts and poverty. Her parents in a choice between leaving the whole family die of hunger or selling their youngest daughter to a slave monger, chose the second one, despite knwing what they have done... it was the only way, wasn't it?

A young girl, beautiful despite being unkempt, obviously caught the eyes of many would be buyers, but the one to meet such a high bid was a vampire merchant known for his exquisite collections, slave girls being but one of his many devious pleasures. One day, while performing her cleaning duties, the now emotionally emaciated slave girl (who didn't even had the luxury of having a given name) stumbled upon the open door to one of the vaults and was drawn in by curiosity despite knowing the fate of those who were accused to trying to steal their master.

Inside the vault a choker as black as the interstellar void itself and shaped into semblance of the Ourboros, a snake eating its own tail, laid above a pedestal beside an 'armor' that made the girl blush just from a gaze, and a black gunblade that seemed too heavy for most men to handle. It was almost as if the choker was calling for her and when she tried to touch it the snake uncoiled itself and slid up the screaming girl's arm.

The next known thing is that when the master and the rest of the staff arrived, the girl's eyes were glazed and her her expression blank as the snake coiled itself around her neck, fangs carved firmly on the girl's jugular. Stories say that she took the armor and sword afterwards destroying the mansion and everything inside and escaped to seek whatever fate had in store for her. It's also said that her previous master may still draw breath, and be hellbent on avenging the losseshe suffered. Though, none of the mercenaries or slayers sent after Jormungandr ever returned.

Nevertheless, all of this is but a mere gossip and since Jormungandr herself seem to have forgotten a large portion of her early years, the truth might never be uncovered.

Likes:

Melon. Really, the only thing that Jormugandr really likes are the fleshy round fruits, and she can be easily convinced of swaying to any particular opinion upon the offering of some of the succulent treat.

Dislikes:

Money (more like she doesn't bother with it), having to think too hard, sleeping in hard places and bad puns.

Talents/Hobbies:

Seriously, she's only good at destroying things and killing. She can potentially do some work relying on brute force as well, but you'd better leave fragiles out of her reach.

Alignment:

Chaotic Neutral.

Combat

Magic Type:

Space, coming as a gift form her bonding with the World Serpent and its own connection to the entropy that threatens to devour all that there is.

Fighting Style:

Melee, with either one or two hands at the grip of her heavy gunblade.

Weapon(s):

A heavy looking black gunblade, though the blade can't be used to shoot anything, the bursts are used to empower her melee attacks, or provide unexpected bursts of speed.

Weaknesses:

Mental tasks. Seriously, she can be put on hold when presented with the even least chalenging scenario, like having to banter with a merchant, or having to deal with a con artist. Take heed, she will default to violence in case she notices she has been scammed.

Strengths:

Fighting. That's what she exists for and the only thing she'll ever be able to do right even if ususally it's just a matter of self-defense.

@Ya Boy Tendou

Sorry for the disappearance, but between sleeping, working and preparations for the upcoming return of college activities I kind of couldn't come here. Anyway, I had a second character done in this meanwhile:

Leviathan

Leviathan

Name:

Seyrum Leviathan.

Nicknames/Titles:

Sey, Snake Princess of the Abyss.

Age:

19 years.

Gender/Sex:

Female.

Birthday:

August 30 (Zodiac: Virgo).

Occupation:

Noble/Student.

Where they live:

Edelweiss.

Species:

Half Human/Demon.

• • •

Bio:

Seyrum is calm and collected, like her appearance suggests. Being lady of high birth she never had to think of petty annoyances like work and such, which in turn caused her to develop a conceited personality, not to the point of total disregard for others, but certainly she thinks she's usually the most important being whenever she goes.

This would be helped by the fact that Seyrum is the only daughter of a powerful demon, Leviathan -The Snake of the Abyss-, who has power over the magics of water and ice and was is of the Demon Lord's lieutenants and a human girl who saved him after a betrayal almost costed his life, thus being a rare case of half-human/demon hybrid that was not born through less than savory methods.

Seyrum chose a path of education and improvement of both her human and demon qualities. However the demon realm had little in this regard and she then decided to move to human lands and enroll at the famed schools and universities of Edelweiss. She tends to expend some of her time on combat practice as well and became a master handling the rapier and combining magic and swordplay to for a beautiful and deadly display.

Likes:

Herself, Tea, Fencing and Reading.

Dislikes:

Peasants, Dirty, Low Quality Goods.

Talents/Hobbies:

She's very knowledgeable, since studying is her main pastime, but also has develop quite a skill with the rapier.

Alignment:

Chaotic Neutral.

Combat

Magic Type:

Water and Ice, with a small dab of Shadow mixed in. "Winter is coming."

Fighting Style:

Magic Knight, mixing melee and spell casting.

Weapon(s):

Joyeuse, a glistening silver rapier with a gold and diamond decorated pommel in shape of a serpent coiling around the wielder's hand.

Weaknesses:

Her pride and haughtiness.

Strengths:

Being a half-demon Seyrum has most of that species strengths without their innate weaknesses.

EDIT:

Ok, I posted IC as well, and decided to begin on Rumaan 'cause there's less people there, so the action may be easier for me to follow. Sorry for the delay.
