Krayzikk

Mecha Carta Institute

Name: Evangeline Starr
Military codename: (You don’t get to pick this, you’ll pick it up along the way)
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance:

My Hider

Personality: Overall, pretty friendly. Inquisitive, especially when it comes to tech, but friendly. Well known in her social circles as generally being ‘one of the guys’, as happy to hang out as she is to tinker with machinery. If anyone’s going to know a machine inside and out, it’d be Evangeline. Her name, though, had thrown more than a few people for a loop; Evangeline being too much of a mouthful, and ‘Angie’ grating on her nerves, most people call her Evan. And given her preference for pilot suits and practical clothes, this has gotten a bit confusing for people who haven’t met her personally.
Biography: If someone asked you to name the profession where you’d work with the most MECHs, you’d tell them the KAD. You’d also be dead wrong. Anyone who’s ever lived in an agricultural town can tell you that you’ll find more MECHs than you could ever imagine in the local mechanic’s shop. Which is exactly where Evangeline grew up. Daughter of a MECH mechanic, she was surrounded by the machines the moment she came home. And when one small shop needs to service the largest agricultural hub in the area, life tends to exist in a constant state of “all hands on deck”. And that includes the smallest pair in the household. Her dad started her out with sorting pieces so he could find them easier, but as time went on, she started to be more and more involved. From sorting, to cataloguing, to ordering, to small patch jobs, and eventually to performing the same jobs her old man did. Between the two of them, folks used to say they could turn a scrapheap top of the line in a few days.

Evengeline was well into her teenage years, then, and didn’t really bother paying attention to much outside her work. Frankly she assumed that she would take over the shop when her father retired, like he did for his father, and him for his father. She went to school as much as she had to, did well in her classes, but it was never her focus. As far as she was concerned she learned all the skills she needed on the job. Well, except for one thing. Being a mechanic didn’t teach you much about magic, and for that reason, she couldn’t figure out the one mystery that always seemed beyond her reach. For as long as she could remember, she knew her house was haunted. Her father didn’t really believe her. Kids believe the strangest things, you know? House sure as hell wasn’t haunted before she was born, sure as hell wasn’t after. But nothing he said ever convinced his daughter. She knew that when she was sorting parts, sometimes she’d leave and find them in different piles. Or walk away from a job to help a customer, and find when she came back that the right tools for the job were on her table. Little things like that, but as she got older, they kept happening more and more frequently.

When she was little, it terrified her. That something was moving around unseen, changing her environment, but she never saw it. As she got older she started to notice that almost everything it did was helpful, and even though her dad didn’t believe her, she started calling it her “Friendly Neighborhood Assistant”. Once or twice, when she was sixteen, she could have sworn she saw it. A brief glimpse at something faint out of the corner of her eye. Mostly at night, however, were she really just attributed it to a dream or an optical illusion. It was never a big part of her life, mostly a curiosity. Like everything else, that changed three years ago.

Evangeline’s home was in rural Erenduil, it had to be for its purposes, and cut off from the rest of the kingdom’s support. A prime target for demon attacks. Naturally, they didn’t pass up the opportunity. Local armed forces pushed them back as best they could, but they simply didn’t have the manpower or the equipment. With each charge the demons pushed further and further into town. Three days into the attacks, they overran the town’s defenses and started banging down the door of her garage. Literally. Her house had been breached in minutes, but the garage was sturdier. Her family huddled inside, she desperately searched for something to reinforce the door, or hold off what was outside. And when she rounded a corner, she saw it for the first time. A pale blue shape, one of the only points of light in the dim quarters of the workshop. Completely still when she first saw it, but there was no mistake what it was. Or that, when it moved slowly over towards one of the pending repairs, the quiet whispers in her ears were beckoning. When it disappeared into the MECH, with the demons nearly through the door, she decided to take a chance.

The MECH started without too much difficulty, but it wasn’t finished. It had been a pet project, trying to piece together parts salvaged from other machines into something new, but it wasn’t entirely connected yet. So when the soft blue glow started tracing the skeletal structure, and the status lights started turning green one by one, Evangeline thought her eyes must have been deceiving her. They weren’t, which was fortunate, because the door came down a few seconds later.

And that was how the longest night of her life progressed. Doing battle with the demons at her door, falling back to fix her makeshift machine, and repeating the process. The ghost didn’t say anything more, but when she finally stopped the MECH at dawn the next day, she knew it was there. A look at her machine didn’t explain why it was working, though. When she looked again the next day, it was just as inoperable as before. She finished the assembly process, making sure it was ready when the demons came again, but it was a few days before she saw her ‘ghost’ again. She knew what it was, now. She just didn’t know where the Spirit came from, or why it seemed like it only ever appeared for her. But she could understand the whispers, now. They were clearer. It didn’t say much, she wasn’t sure she could really call it ‘speaking’ at all, but it helped her understand the basics of how it functioned. And just as importantly, its name.

Once the KAD was formed, and her home was safe, she started looking outside the shop for the first time. And soon enough she was packing up her MECH and heading towards Mecha Carta.
Military Job: Pilot
Spirit Name: United We Stand
Spirit Appearance: When visible, which isn’t all that often, United manifests as a largely amorphous cluster of ethereal substance. Sometimes it seems to take a shape, but never long enough to determine what it might be. It only ever seems to appear around Evangeline, but no one else ever seems to hear it.
Spirit Power: United We Stand merges MECH compatible technology into something greater than the sum of its parts.The Spirit provides the energy and effect, but it falls to Evangelin to bear the strain of keeping the combined whole together. Little things, like integrating an add-on equipment package, are easy. Something larger and more complex is significantly more difficult. United has hinted that it is possible to share the burden, but hasn’t offered much guidance on how or what conditions would have to be met. Due to the enigmatic nature of the ability, and Evangeline’s caution in testing it, she doesn’t yet know the extent of its abilities. She has, however, determined that it is affected by her mental and emotional state. The form that these additions take seems to vary from combination, meaning that while a specific set of additions will always take a certain form, changing even one piece might make something completely different.
Spirit Origin: Evangeline doesn’t know. She knows that it has been around since she was a little girl, unseen by everyone (including her), but no one ever encountered it before she was born. None of her family, who lived in that home for generations, ever noticed anything like it. Local history makes passing reference to a few Spirits, but none seem to match closely. United itself isn’t being too helpful, either. It gives vague ‘answers’, most of which amount to “it was time”. All Evan knows, and all she feels, is that it seems much older than she is.
Mech: Titan
Extra:

Name: Titan
Classification: Sword
Appearance: About thirty five feet tall, putting it roughly in the midrange for MECH heights, the Titan is a machine made up of hard, geometric edges. It eschews the more knight-like, curved appearance of the KAD’s more standard machines, instead opting for a MECH that resembles a cross between that knight of old and its mechanical nature. Its head is adorned by a leonine helm, with a green faux crystal covering sensors set into its forehead. A golden lion is painted on its shoulder, and its primary colors are blue and gray. The changes to it depends on the composite parts of United We Stand.
Weapons:
-Heat-Edged Longsword
-Chobham Armor Shield
-Carbine
-Shoulder-Mounted Long Range Cannon
Upgrades
History: The Titan began life as a cobbled together scrap parts machine made in Evan’s shop. After its use in combat, and being brought to the MCI, it has been continuously refined and upgraded from its base form.

cyare and rei are wherever

kaia, angel, come say hello

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Name: Angel Ferrara
Age: 22
Birthday: May 1st
Magic: Negation. Angel has the ability to block all physical magic directed his way in an attack, whatever type or element. He can choose to reflect this energy back as though the attack bounced off a rubber field, or launch the same type of attack back once at an opponent. He can only stack one of these stored powers at a time.
Magic Level: A-B
History: Angel was born to a single father deep in the Boundary Forest, far to the north of Fiore. The reasons for his societal exile died with his father when Angel was seven, but he had been taught enough rudimentary skills about survival to fend off the monsters that infested his home that he wasn't torn apart within weeks or anything. Rather, as he grew, he honed his skill in hunting and cooking until he proved self-sufficient enough to turn the weeks of survival into months, then the months into years.

By the age of sixteen, however, Angel had left the Boundary Forest in search of who he and his father truly were. Having never required currency or merchants for anything in his life, he found the journey into civilization difficult, and to support himself he began cutting a swath through Veronica and south down the peninsula, staying a couple months to cook at inns and small restaurants for a couple months. As his purse grew, so too did his culinary repertoire - and, eventually, his traveling party, as his meals impressed one Kaia Iona. The girl became his traveling companion and sous chef as they traveled south into Fiore, where they currently are residing.
Personality: Ferrara is sunny and cheerful, but you wouldn't know it from his tone of voice. He speaks with an odd combination of earnest, confusion, and painstaking politeness coming from having spent the first two-thirds of his life removed from even village society. Idioms and snide remarks often fly over his head at terminal velocity, and he proves almost incapable of being insulted. Instead, his frustration and negative emotion often channels itself into a fierce determination to do right by people, and intense loyalty to his friends.
Guild and guild mark location: None yet
Team Members: Kaia Iona
Three Strengths:
1. Cooking
2. Grooming
3. Pep talks
Three Weaknesses:
1. Metropolitan areas
2. Sarcasm
3. Alcohol
Greatest Love: A warm meal with friends
Motivation: Engineering a way to end world hunger
Appearance:

@Plank Sinatra

@Lunarlors34 sorry bro I've been claimed already.

Kaia Iona

Name: Kaia Iona

Age: 20

Birthday: January 23rd

Magic: Movement magic, granting her the ability to manipulate the properties of kinetic motion as related to herself and objects around her. She has a knack for instantly accelerating objects to high speeds, though still has trouble focusing on more than a few objects at once. She’s learned how to use this ability to compress air to nearly solid levels, and is able to use this both offensively and defensively. More useful in her case, however, is her ability to ‘feel’ the motion of nearby objects.

Magic Level: B

History: Kaia’s upbringing was nothing exceptional, she wasn’t inheriting some old mystical power passed down from generation to generation, in fact she displayed nearly no affinity towards supernatural abilities early on in her life. Tales of the exploits of gifted wizards fascinated her to no end, the heroes and villains becoming something larger than life for her, but just as any would at a young age. It was secondary to her desire to (metaphorically) see the world, discover what was out there beyond her small home town. Fortunately for her, this curiosity lined up with the job-hopping nature of one Angel Ferrara, a cute longtime friend and one heckofa chef. She spends her time now moving from town to town to city, trying to learn to cook, and taking in the world for what it is.
Of course, there’s the small matter of her, almost surprisingly, possessing magic abilities. Though unlike those developing from focused training and specific instruction, hers stemmed from necessity. Just as her senses developed to compensate for her lack of sight, her body tapped into connection between her spirit and the flow of nature around that had lain dormant.

Personality: Overall relaxed, one to take life in stride rather than waste some time making a big deal about it. Easy enough to talk to, even if she’s not exactly a conversation starter. Her mood shifts with the same liquid grace of her stride, and is rarely taken to extremes or emotional outbursts.

Guild and guild mark location: Nadda

Team Members: Angel Ferrara

Three Strengths: She possesses a sharp, intelligent mind, paired with her ability to think on her feet allows her to improvise on the fly. Fairly level-headed and slow to anger, most of the time. While not extremely powerful as a mage, her reserves of energy are greater than normal.

Three Weaknesses: She’s blind, plain and simple. Of course, twenty years of walking into stuff has given her plenty of time to develop ways to make up for it, she is nonetheless at a distinct disadvantage compared to others. Even though she’ll never admit it, she is very much self-conscious of this fact, which has developed into a fiercely independent streak, to the point of fault. As a result of this, or perhaps in spite of, she places a tad much attention on her outward appearance. She’s no Olympic athlete, and relies on her magic heavily.

Greatest Love: Angel Ferrara Music

Motivation: Prove to herself that she is capable.

Appearance: Slightly on the tall side of things, Kaia is overall lithe in appearance. Her form is noticeably more feminine than androgynous, and moves with a careful deftness born from her disability. She is somewhat athletic, though more in the sense of the lean musculature of a runner than overly burly. Stark white hair contrasts sharply against her dark, freckled complexion. Generally worn short and straight, it cuts off just below her chin, with a single thick streak of bright crimson lining the left side. Her expressive, angled eyes are the color of slate, though they are normally either closed or half-lidded. She’s recently taken a liking (as much as she can) towards darker, inky-black makeup. Tends towards bright clothing, light shades of blue or red if not flat out white, accompanied by an ever present crimson scarf loosely wrapped around her neck and draped across her shoulders. Less noticeable is the single thin, pale silver scar that runs along her jawline, stopping just short of her chin.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@KrayzikkI'm still pretty new myself, all things considered. Argus has only been in the game for about two IC days.

@Raijinslayer

Ah, I see.

And to give a conclusive answer; Cyare did indeed get her introduction today, albeit a shorter one than I'd planned.

And on a related note, Cyare and Rei are now open for anyone who need someone to interact with.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Cyare Staunton: Within the City

She would never understand how people found city life attractive. Cramped, crowded, and clustered around a dozen different mercantilist hubs. They were fascinating to observe, and her eyes didn’t miss a single detail. Everything her senses told her painted the broad, clear picture of her world. And her world was… Lackluster. No matter how long she spent with a city’s walls, any city, she couldn’t understand why one would prefer to live there. Visit, certainly. A city provided job opportunities like no other locale could, boasting a concentration of human life, and with it, human problems. And for Cyare, problems were business.

Now, though, she was just bored. Rei was prattling on about something, but she wasn’t listening. Most of what he said was useless posturing. Useful when matters became combative, but almost more irritating than he was worth. Speed this, speed that, a smarmy jackass comment here, a smarmy jackass comment there. Still, he wasn’t the worst company. You could get a decent conversation out of him every now and again with enough effort, and between the two of them work was quick and easy. She could do most of the jobs alone but not nearly as efficiently. But right now, that efficiency was the problem. There wasn’t an active job. They were in the city to find one, because they had finished all their standing contracts.

Apparently there was a tournament in progress. Rei had expressed some interest in looking into it, but the Tactical Mage wasn’t interested. Watching a bunch of Magicians fight each other wasn’t exactly fascinating. Decent reconnaissance, but not worth the amount of self-important foolishness she’d have to sit through for that knowledge. She had enough of that two steps to her right.

So without a job, and without entertainment, she really had one question.

Where on Fiore was the notice board?

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@Krayzikk@KrayzikkCool, would offer up Argus, but he's likely to be in extreme lock down cause of his recent stunts. Speaking of Argus, I realized that Lux is an extreme danger to Nidhogg and Grim due to the fact that his magic can basically reverse the control they have over their respective hosts. While Argus can never be free from his curse, Nidhogg could revert back into Jackson DuCarthy, which would definitely be interesting to play out.

Moving on from my rambling, what do you think of the RP so far?

@Raijinslayer

I can't pretend to have too much of an opinion on the IC yet (given that, truth be told, I've caught the last couple of pages at best) but the game as a whole seems pretty good. A few customs are a little odd to me, but that's a given when one starts to participate in a new game.

Nothing negative to say, certainly.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Hopefully tonight. Been working on a post, talked with Onarax over where to put her and Rei, so I just need to finish the post. We couldn't decide somewhere specific to put them, so we're just setting them up in an ambiguous location until we find interaction/interaction finds us.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@KrayzikkOkay, fair enough. Many thanks for the clarification.

@Raijinslayer

You're welcome.

I did actually forget one point, though; if something created or summoned outside Cyare's field had a magical property to it, or was usually manipulated by magic, that aspect would cease working while inside the field even though the item remains present.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@KrayzikkI was actually wondering about that. Nidhogg has a magic that is like Take-over, but the way I explained it makes it seem more like an ability that comes to his body naturally(or unnaturally as the case maybe) than having it actually be a magic. Do you think something like that would be affected? Also, what happens to things created or manipulated by magic, but are not inherently magical in nature nor needing to be supplied with magic to stay manifested, such as creating a long sword, or just simple requip. Would her anti-magic banish such items or simple not effect them?

@Raijinslayer

One of these was asked earlier, thanks Onarax, so I'll cover that one first. An item created or summoned, like Requip or Ice Make magic, will continue to exist within her field. Summoning or making them, on the other hand, will be affected. A spear summoned using Requip magic outside her influence would continue to exist inside her influence, for example. But it couldn't be summoned (or would be incredibly difficult to, depending on proximity) within her field.

On the first point... If it's not something that a species could do naturally, and it isn't explicitly something other than Magic, I'd say it would be affected.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@KrayzikkWell, I wish you luck in your endeavors and hope that none of you ever cross paths with Nidhogg. Hate to have such cool looking characters end up as lunch. (P.S.: I'm joking . . . mostly)

@Raijinslayer

I'd say much the same

Except in my case, Cyare. Because total Anti-Magic form coupled with not insignificant knowledge of longsword use tends to be rather devastating.
