Personality

A silent young man, Etrius believes in communicating his inner kindness through smiles and facial expressions, which might mislead people into thinking he is mute. Patient and friendly, his silence does not stop him from frequent gestures of friendship and support, although, when asked why he refrains from speaking, he is...reticent, although it is a surprise when he does say something; some might even regard it as a sign of the apocalypse. He is also proud of his archery skills.

Backstory

Born in a village at the edge of Lugnica, Etrius was an adventurous lad, one who chafed at the fact that the presence of Mabeasts 'trapped' him inside his hamlet's boundaries, and who swore that one day, he would hunt down every Mabeast in the world, and so be free. However, knowing that Mabeasts have cursed bites and are generally dangerous close-up, Etrius knew that ranged combat was his best chance. And so he trained in the use of the bow and arrow, not just in how to use it, but also how to make and maintain his weapons and ammunition. And when he was old enough, he began venturing into the forests, hunting down first the small Mabeasts, then the larger ones, and almost always managing to get away safely.

In the one time he was lost trying to get away from Mabeasts, Etrius found his Falcon, Peco Peco, whom he managed to tame, allowing him to go back to his village. Of course, one day, Etrius would find the urge to go to Lugnica City, in order to search for a way to get more money to buy Mabeast-killing weapons with...

Cerdic Wessex

Cerdic Wessex

Height

5ft

Age

15

Gender

Male.

Race

Formerly Human (Noble Arms Wielder), now a Human/Noble Arm hybrid, aka a completely new species of Demi-Human.

Power

Noble Arm (The Bracers/Gauntlets of Grief) - In Cerdic's old world, a small percentage of humans can automatically manifest a mystic weapon,made up of unknown materials of supernatural durability and sharpness, but also light as air. This 'Noble Arm', the term for such weapons in Cerdic's world, can be conjured up as long as long as the weilder is awake and lucid, as it is a part of his or her being the moment it first appeared.

But now, the accident that transported Cerdic had fused him with his weapon permanently, marking him as no longer human. Those who look at him can see two bracers fused into his skin, with burnt scar tissue around them, a symbol of the price he had to pay for personal peace. With each type of power used, these bracers can expand into gauntlets or even armor, armor that is also fused to his flesh, further diliuting what remains of his humanity...

Famine - When Famine is activated, Cerdic's bracers expand into gauntlets made up of metal plates the color of parched earth, which can devour any attack that isn't physical in nature, aka anything that isn't fists, bullets, or thrown objects.

Pestilence - The armor plates, turn black, and crawl up to the rest of the arms, ending at the shoulder, and are still fused to Cerdic's body, grating additional protection. But the real danger is that when Cedric touches someone, he can infect his opponent with a range of negative effects based on how long he is in contact with his target; a few seconds mean dizziness, a minute means temporary paralysis.

War - The armor plates now crawl to cover the rest of the body, turning into shiny steel covered with blood spatters; this metal can withstand bullets and even railguns, and enhances speed, strength, and endurance to absurd levels. However, this requires the Famine skill to absorb a huge amount of power, enough to destroy a house.

Death - The armor, now covering Cedric's body, turns pure white, like ivory, and when Cerdic's life is truly threatened, emits a pulse of dark power that shuts down the brains of ordinary humans, killing them instantly unless defillbirated in five minutes. This desperation move only works on ordinary humans, and not half-humans, humans with magical powers, or humans with certain mystic relics...

Personality

Cerdic's main goal is this, to stay in the world of Pakora, where, he presumes, a different set of 'natural laws' prevent people from realizing the full ramifications of a world where some people, like him, have powers that set themselves apart from the rest of 'normal' humanity. These powers, from his experience, lead to a cycle of hatred and oppression (and granted, also Symbiosis), a cycle that had hurt him deeply, causing him to want to escape, and forget about such worlds...

Background

"You may not believe this - then again, this is a school known for weird things - but I come from a parallel universe. In this parallel world, there are only humans, it's just that since the forties', a small percentage of them are able to manifest magical weapons connected to one's hard and soul, called Noble Arms," Cedric would then turn towards the nearest mirror, measuring his expression as he thought of the best way to appeal to his imaginary audience.

"Those people who manifest Noble Arms learn how to use them in special 'Academies', like yours'," he imagined he was talking to people from Pakora, before continuing, "and I was no exception. I was born to a family of sportsmen - mostly swimmers - some of whom were 'lucky' to have moderately powerful Noble Arms. That was a happy life; I learned to swim, to run, to fence, as well as how to read, write, and do sums. Then my Noble Arm just had to manifest, and I had to go to the nearest Academy, one near Boston. I found out then that my Noble Arm was powerful enough to warrant me mandatory military service. A kid, faced with the life of a soldier just because of something he can't help!"

Facing the nearest mirror or reflective surface, Cerdic would continue, casting aside his emotional defenses, letting his lips scrunch up and his eyes open wide to show his pain. Then he would continue, his voice trembling:

"But despite that, I was still happy, I had friends, things were as ordinary as could be and my family made plans to make sure that my future service was as light as possible. Knowing them, things would have panned out if not for future events," Cedric's face hardened again, freezing with resentment.

"Then one day, a group called the 'Disablers', a terrorist group of normal human beings who thought of Noble Armsmen as inhuman monsters who would tread on humans one day, attacked my academy while we were asleep, using snipers, poison gas, assault rifles, and other ways of getting around the weakness of Noble Arms - the fact that one has to be awake and lucid to conjure them up. They were murdering us, they were murdering children, and they had to be stopped. So I killed them." Cerdic's composure wavers for a moment, then he continues:

"As I said, I killed them! And as I heard their dying screams of 'monster', 'terror', and the rictus of their dying faces as I activated Death, I saw why they wanted to kill us - we were a threat!" Cedric laughs, his voice dry and disbelieving, and faces his imaginary audience, then continues:

"I hated it, I hated myself, and so I did a foolish thing; my armor - which didn't fuse into my flesh at that time - grew a spike, which I drove into the ground; draining the earth of its energy; the resulting backlash would obliterate the remains of my former school, now a charnel house. And it worked, it worked, I used Famine while driving the spike into the world, and created a rift, the very portal that brought me to this world, to Pakora Academy itself."

"And I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back to my world. I'm staying here, you hear me?!" Tears fall from his eyes. "So please, let me make a new start..."

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

Bumpity Bump.

something something Omniverse

ame: Linus Carpenter

Appearance:


Age: 2000 years old.

Deity: Well...this is a bit complex. Linus was born not through normal human reproduction, or normal Human-Divine reproduction, but was rather born from the Spilled Blood of Yeshua bin Yosef (yes, him) when he was crucifed in Golgotha, and the tears of Mary Magdalene. This technically makes him the Grandson of God.

Magic:

Change Water to Wine (Custom Spell) - Wine, despite the bad rap it gets, is a natural disinfectant, and in an age where water is normally dirty and carries all manner of nasty diseases, the ability to turn water into wine means that you can turn even swamp water into something drinkable. H level.

Loaves and Fishes (Custom Spell) - Linus takes a piece of solid food and splits it into several parts; each part then grows to the size of the original piece, increasing the overall amount of solid food. This can be done as long as Linus has Mana. H level.

Divine Skills: (2 skills which you are supernaturally gifted in.)

Medicine

Carpentry, including the use of Hammers.

Equipment: (Mundane materials, like steel, have a higher maximum strength/speed level that they can be used with, but a lower magical power level. Natural items, like wood, have a higher magical power level, but a lower max strength/speed. For example, a steel sword would have a max strength use of G, but a max magic level of H. If you exceed this level, the item will be destroyed.)

- Pouch of Medicinal Herbs, most of them edible so as to work with Loaves and Fishes.
- Leather Carpentry Apron enchanted to withstand steel (Magic Level G)
- Hammer (Strength Level G)
- Wooden Sword (Magic Level G)
- Nails
- Five Loaves and Seven Dried Fishes
- Waterskin

Mundane skills:

Linguistics, Literate, Charisma, Fireworks Making.

Personality: Linus, being born from blood, tears, and earth, used to feel distant from humanity, but has grown to love them, due to his long centuries of experience. However, despite said long centuries, he still hasn't grown out of adolescent rebelliousness, and although loyal to his family and their cause, is a bit harsh towards their Earthly followers, with the Catholic Church, despite being his main allies, getting the brunt of his annoyance, due to their acquisition of money and power and certain...interpretations of the holy writings.

History/Bio: Linus was born, fully formed, clad in a white robe, some time after the burial of Yeshua bin Yosef, but his emergence into the world was overlooked because of the great events that happened some days later - at the same time that the Ressurection happened, Linus was already wandering upwards to Syria and Asia Minor, seeking answers to the question of his existence. Several years later, he reemerged in Greece, at the city of Corinth, where he was part of the fellowship of Priscilla and Aquilla in the early Christian Church, before leaving to wander east, towards Parthia/Persia and India, finally reaching China a century or two later, where he fought with Sun Quan and the Kingdoms of Shu and Wu in the Battle of Red Cliff.

He stayed in China for a few centuries more, then, after hearing rumors of what happened to his family's Church in Europe, raced back there, taking several decades to reach the region, where the Western Roman Empire had fallen and the East was in dire straits. Apparently, Judaism had split into three religions, each claiming to be the true voice of his Grandfather, and which were warring with Polytheists and Zororastrians and Machineans. Each of the religions had their own merits - and that's all he would say about that - but he was rather annoyed with the successors of Priscilla and Aquilla, the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, who despite praising Priscilla as a Saint, completely and utterly forgot that she was a female leader as well, one who held power over men even after 1 Timothy was written.

Swallowing his irritation at this, he put himself in the service of the Catholics, doing charitable jobs for the Church and fighting bandits, sometimes non-lethally, sometimes not; he wasn't his father. That said, though, another source of his anger were the rumors that his mother was a prostitute, but that was dealt with by a pact with the Church - they would stop spreading those rumors, in exchange, and this was also to keep the balance of power in Europe - he would bestow the Church's Holy Relics with the largest portion of his power, reducing him temporarily into the level of an Initiate-rank Demigod.

He still has doubts about that deal.

something something Omniverse

Note: Osamu Akiyama is not the same person as Osamu Ichijouji; that is all.

Osamu Akiyama

Osamu Akiyama's CS and my work as him.

Name: Osamu Akiyama

Age: 18

Appearance:


Powers:

Demon Summoning Program - A special kind of programming code that duplicates a summoning ritual.

Osamu is skilled in Negotiation, Superscience and, since meeting Naoki for the second time, Sorcery. He is also an expert in making Magitech Weapons. To compensate for this, though, Osamu lacks any fighting ability whatsoever, and has to rely in Horus for battle.

Horus' Stats

Weaknesses:

Flunky Dependence - Osamu, as mentioned, lacks fighting ability and overrelies on Tech, Magic, and Horus for battle. He also is reluctant to face his opponents head-on, because he knews they can beat him easily. Rather, he's a good-guy version of that person who sends out constant waves of minions/subordinates at you until you get to their lair and stomp them.

Preperation Requirement - Osamu needs time in order to prepare any game-winning gadget or magical ritual, as well as protection from anyone who might sneak up on him, as interrupting his gadget-building/magical ritual would make said processes useless.

Bio: The son of Ryo Akiyama and Ruki Makino/Rika Nonaka, Osamu was a genius like his unfortunate namesake in another universe. Interested in the 'Digital World' that his parents would tell him stories about, Osamu would begin doing research on how to link the two dimensions back together from a very young age, although he saved time to play with his friends, Rai Matsuki/Matsuda and Lucy Lee/Wong, who, unlike him, disbelieved in their parents' stories of the Digital World. Finally, at the age of 10, Osamu Akiyama discovered, with help from the organization HYPNOS, the secret to interdimensional travel...and that was when things went wrong, for Osamu didn't find a way back to the Digital World.

Rather, he found a Tokyo riven by an apocalypse, where creatures similar to Digimon, called 'Demons', roamed the ruins of this once-great city. In this world, the only hero was a person called the 'Demi-Fiend', a human with the powers of a Demon and the ability to call them to his side. And the opening of the gate between his world and 'Ruined Tokyo' was a surprise to both Osamu and the Demi-Fiend, as well as HYPNOS, who tried to close the gate, but too late - the Demons of the Shin Megami Tensei universe were preparing to invade!

Realizing the threat, Osamu Akiyama allied with the Demi-Fiend, repurposing Hypnos' former weapons (intended against Rogue Digimon) in order to combat Demons, and the Demi-Fiend was able to return his version of Tokyo to normal.

But Osamu was frightened now; who knows what horrors lurked in the Multiverse? He also knew this, though; that only Digimon can give his world an edge against other Universes. And so, he tried again, and this time, succeeded in reunifying his parents, as well as Rai and Lucy's, with their old Digimon Partners. But...there was another disappointment; even though the Digital World was open, no Digimon would choose to be partners with him.

So, the boy, 13 now, resumed his dimensional research, trying to find out why he can't have a Digimon Partner. And, cautiously, this time, Osamu opened a portal to another universe...the Pokemon one. It was a wonderful place, although the hobby of 'Pokemon Battling' distubed him. Nevertheless, it was time to seek out allies. He found them in three people, one of them an idiot of the lowest caliber - Ash Ketchum/Satoshi.

Making his own journey, Osamu found that while he can make friends with Pokemon, he lacked the gift of making a lasting partnership with them, meaning that he had to rely on his technology to defend himself from Wild Pokemon attacks and Team Rocket. Finally, however, he found the allies he needed; the Pokemon League itself. After signing a treaty between them and HYPNOS, Osamu went back to his own world...and found the Demi-fiend waiting for him there.

Once the shock faded from Osamu's face, the Demi-Fiend, introducing himself as Naoki Kashima, then handed the boy a 'Demon Summoning Program', as well as a contract with Demon of his own, Horus*. After some more surprise, Osamu asked Horus what he thought of the transfer of contractors, and after the Demon replied that he had no objections to it, the boy accepted the program, contract, and his new partner with open arms...

Theme Song: youtube.com/watch?v=fN76fqrTqcM

Other: Osamu is Bisexual.

Mon Alliance

Name: The Mon Alliance

Universe of Origin: Multiversal; Digimon Tamers.

Objectives: To defend the Digimon, Pokemon, and yes, Shin Megami Tensei/Persona sections of the Multiverse from destruction.

Disclaimer - I only saw let's plays of the first three Shin Megami Tensei games, as well as various Wiki Articles. I also haven't watched Pokemon for years.

Members: Humans, Digimon, Pokemon, Demons.

Capabilities: The Mon Alliance contains a large number of powerful technologies and entities on their side, such as Arceus and Mewtwo (Pokemon), Alphamon and Omnimon (Digimon) and Izanami (Persona) joined in after her defeat. They also have weapons that can destroy Digimon, Pokemon, and Demons and prevent them from coming back.

As this seems Mary Sueish, I'll add a few flaws:

These capabilities are balanced out by the fact that the Mon Alliance has several internal enemies, such as Dagomon and the Dark Ocean (Digimon), Team Rocket (Pokemon), and Nyx (Persona), the Forces of Chaos, and the Forces of Law (Shin Megami Tensei).

History: The reason why Naoki showed up in HYPNOS' headquarters? Well, it was to inform them that a mysterious new menace was threatening the various worlds and that one of the 'Goddesses' of the Shin Megami Tensei universe, Aradia, has authorized him to form an alliance between Digimon, Pokemon, and Demons in order to stand against the storm. Osamu accepted this offer.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

((Collab between thewizardguy and Letter Bee - Also, Keks is expelled.))

Closer observation would reveal that the CIA Agent who spoke to Kara was a middle-aged woman whose eyes couldn't be read behind her shades, but whose smile suggested...amusement. She would then face Kara's 'monstrous form', then say:

"Except that this group of Magi, the 'Brightwell Group', has already done things that can be percieved to be criminal. Holding a meeting for the purpose of inciting and conducting terroristic activities, resisting arrest, and finally, causing a public disturbance in a foriegn country, with one of the members waving around a katana with killing intent, close to civilians, then attempting to use extranormal powers in order to gather enough energy to destroy a town in what can be considered actual terrorism; I think we have enough of a case." A smile before she turned back to one of her companions, a male black CIA Agent with a shaved head and muscular build that fit his black suit and anti-magic vest underneath tightly. Said companion then spoke:

"And of course, there is the fact that, considering your differences from normal humans, and the abilities you've demonstrated, you may not legally qualify as human anymore. Enough will believe that, especially when we play up the presented threat. Quite a damning judgement from a black person, I must say," he would tilt his head slightly to the right, a visible tic.

Nodding sagely at their objections the creature before them responds by sitting down on a chair that seems to flow out from it's clothing. Similarly, a large oaken table seems to spill out from under the creature's jacket. "Then let us hash out the details, no?" Retrieving the papers Kara would place them before themselves, making sure to retrieve several relevant documents from the general pile. "This Brightwell Group stands under accusation of performing terrorist actions, and yet I would argue that they acted in self-defence. As they are generally unarmed, unarmoured and untrained they legally pose no threat. Despite this several CIA agents opened fire at members of the Brightwell group, attacking unarmed civilians. From this point forward I believe that most actions they have undertaken can be filed away under self defence, considering the considerable threat to their lives."

"To address a few more of your concerns, the threat to this town is an unproven assumption. As the Magi phenomenon emerged a mere 2 weeks ago there are no experts on Magi and related supernatural phenomena, and as such no way to tell what the magic was being used for. Considering the general gathering of mana and use of magic is in no way illegal, this accusation is completely unfounded. Although I am certainly interested in what sources you claim to possess that would be able to identify the powers in question. Certainly you would not possess Magi within your own force?"

"Secondly I would like to address the attempt to dehumanise the 'Magi' demographic. Considering the legal and literary definition of 'human' is based on membership to the species of homo sapien, a criteria all Magi meet, this attempt quickly falls flat. However, it will be noted that you made the attempt. Of course if doubts still exist I'm certain several members of the Magi demographic, including myself, could be made to release blood tests in order to prove that they are, in fact, genetically human. To call them inhuman for their abilities is a rather blatant case of discrimination based on ability and skill."

"Moving on, I would like to address the immense amount of failures and blunders that the CIA is personally responsible for in this conflict. From illegal intervention to firing in densely populated urban centers you have broken practically every creed in the book. No doubt you will both be fired, although depending on your actions here you may end up in jail. If you cooperate it will significantly decrease the legal repercussions of your actions."

A smile from both Agents.

"Very well, further terms?" They were already planning on measures to save face.

"The immediate release of your prisoner, and an investigation into the CIA's command structure. I will be officially contacting relevant government officials in order to request a reform of the system to prevent similar issues from reoccuring. However, I do recognise that the CIA was responding to an unprecedented and seemingly threatening situation, and therefore will not personally press any charges. However, I cannot speak for all Magi." Kara stood, the table and chair once more being reabsorbed into their body mass. "I would expect you to be present at the inevitable ensuing cases in order to determine the rights and limits of magic use, considering your role in the conflict."

Moving towards the house, Kara would make their way towards where O'Ryan was kept with only a quick glance back. "Now, shall we wrap this little mess up?"

"All right," said the Female Agent, who would then turn towards the people holding Ascot.

"Prisoner is released, people! Problem resolved...for now."
