The Return of Magic - An Intro

Tristan Kingsley Parter

Location: 666 Mystic Lane, MA

Interactions: Xan (@Randomness), Ashe (@Timemaster), Alora and The Benefactor (@MagratheanWhale)

---

Drinks floated towards Tristan and the others who were the last to arrive. He'd seen too many "accidents" involving these drinks whenever he was around, so he opened it carefully. Once opened, he began to drink the soda calmly, while still paying attention to the room.

“Oh, yeah?” said Xan as he walked next to Tristan, “Could still be the house, given what we’ve just witnessed. Though, it doesn’t look like you guys were the meal, yeah? At least, not yet.”

@Randomness

"Meal...? What do you even mean?" Tristan asked Xan, as he was one of the few who had missed the timing on the house "eating" people to bring them inside.

" Chill down princess. It's magic. Haven't you seen any movies? Someone is flexing their magic muscles to show us they're the boss. Think about it, if they wanted us dead, we would be already. Have a drink and wait for it. Worst case scenario, hold tight to the couch. I can't promise where we'll end up but it'll be better than here. " said Ashe to Alora as she shouted.

@Timemaster

(She's already starting to nickname people... This can't be good.) Tristan thought, looking at Ashe. He already felt that she and him would definitely end up in trouble if somehow they were paired together.

"First, don't call me princess ever again," she paused as she flashed a finger. "Second, I haven't had magic long and I could not find even the smallest bit of information online about this magic. Forgive me if I seem amiss." Pausing again as she flashed two fingers. "Third, if wanted to hear your advice I would ask you for it." The third finger flew up as a dull thud could be heard. The noise was soft, almost rhythmic, and seemed to be coming from a far corner of the house. Anora paused as she turned her head back to the center of the room, back to the man, and back to the center of the room. "And fourth, and finally, why did the ghost stop sweeping?"

@MagratheanWhale

"... There was a *THUD* sound just now. I guess the host arrives to greet us." Tristan said to Alora.

With the house going bonkers as the *THUD* sounds grew closer and louder, he could only stand in anticipation. His prediction could be right in the money and the man... woman... whoever it was that summoned them was arriving just now. Normally, these sorts of events could be blamed on Tristan and his power, seemingly as if the curses that were being spread around were making this horror scene. But this time it wasn't. No curse was affecting the house. And then, just as he wondered...

BGM: The Forbidden Advent Garden: Salem (Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant)

"Welcome," the man's voice bellowed. It was deep, and his accent sounded almost English but mixed with something older. "We have much to discuss. You may call me the benefactor."

@MagratheanWhale

It didn't take long for the Benefactor to finally show himself to the group. Tristan looked at him and felt a shiver running down his spine as if the cold wind from the outside had extinguished all of the house's warmth. The man standing right in his front was no mere joke: he may look like a senior from a retirement house, but he had power enough to make the once moving objects stop and tremble. And not just the objects, the group was also paralyzed in fear. However, Tristan knew it was better than to be the first one to suggest running away. There was no escape, he was sure of it. Even if he tried to move away from that place, the Benefactor could bring him back in a blink of an eye. That was how much power he had in store, and it felt almost as if it wasn't even the beginning of it.

"..." Tristan breathed, grabbing his drink.

The second thing that Tristan felt from the Benefactor was related to his power: an absence of malevolent energy. Or, if not absent, it was very well hidden, to the point that he couldn't feel it. Whatever energy he had was nowhere near a curse. If it was, though, he wasn't able to absorb it. This sort of situation came as naturally as day and night, and yet... this was the first time and the first person in which Tristan's power wasn't working.

(Should I... feel safe around him? No, the fact he carries no malevolence can't be a good omen... or is he hiding it from me? I... this is so confusing. He's the first person I cannot feel anything. But why?) Tristan thought, in a mix of stupor and fright.

"You all must have questions that demand answers," the benefactor spoke with gravitas, "I intend to answer them in kind." The benefactor finished as he shifted his weight onto his cane.

@MagratheanWhale

His deep voice seemed to echo deeply inside his mind, enough to awaken him back to reality. He didn't know if the others had questions of their own, but he wasn't going to lose this opportunity to actually ask.

"How did you find all of us at once? What sort of... being are you to pull such a thing?" He asked.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

Kurogane Ookami

Location: Park of Rhea
Interactions: None

BGM: Cassete Tape Dream by しゃろう

It was a beautiful day in the park. The sun was shining brilliantly throughout the sky. Classes were already happening, but he just simply wasn't feeling like it, so he just skipped the morning and decided to take a stroll out in town. It's not like he was totally forbidden from doing it so, considering no superior from the school ever came to actually stop him from just bailing out. And he wasn't in the mood to study but to just rest under a beautiful tree and enjoy a tranquil morning under a tree's shade. The crickets sang as the wolf boy just started to hum a tune by himself.

"Aaaaah~... nothin' like a good snooze under a tree to make the night, eh?" He spoke to himself.

Kurogane Ookami, a 2nd-year student of Lord Kiburi's School for the Truly Exceptional. He's considered to be a "delinquent" by some other students, but his records are clear as a freshly cleaned window... though, not exactly. While he hasn't committed any actions that would sully his school registry, he's not off the hook. He was a street thug, now going through reformation in order to clean his record. He still keeps the memory in his heart regarding how it all went.

(It's been three years since I've been under Master's tutelage, eh? Can't say it has been all flowers, but it's fun. Though the way we met was utter bullshit.) He thought, remembering the day he met the one who "saved him" in the past.

The Deal to a New Life

Kurogane was pushed by the guards to the prison's meeting room. He was handcuffed, so despite how much he struggled, little there was for him to do. There, waiting for him, sat a mysterious man, wearing a kimono and looking at him. The guards made him sit on the chair, as he faced the man.

"So, you're Kurogane, huh?" The man said.

"Whaddya want, old geezer? If I stole somethin' from ya, then it's too late to come at me." Kurogane answered.

"How brazen, little wolf. They did say that you were a good-for-nothing punk with a short temper and an abrasive tongue." The man answered.

"... You wanna piece o' me? 'Cuz yer certainly askin' for it, and I don't care if yer 60, I beat ass whether young or old!" Kurogane growled.

"Hahahaha! Boy, oh boy... kid, you're too young to even touch me. It'll take you at least 35 years before you can get at my level." The man laughed.

"That's it!! I'm gonna grind that pretty face to dust!!" Kurogane roared.

Even though he was handcuffed, he still leaped at the man. The guards jumped into action, but the man was faster and subdued Kurogane with a single hand, forcing him into the table and almost breaking it.

"Arrrrrrgh!!" Kurogane roared in pain.

"Calm down boy, calm down. I told you, you can't do anything against me." The man said.

"Grrrr... goddamn these handcuffs!! If I didn't have them holdin' me back, I would've-" Kurogane kept growling, trying to break out from his pinned position.

"Kid, will you just sit down and listen for a second? As much as it's fun seeing you pinned down like this, I have other things to do." The man spoke.

Kurogane tried to keep resisting as much as he could, without any success. The guards approached them and held the boy back on his chair, while the man cleaned his hands.

"Motherfucker... who the hell are you?!" Kurogane questioned.

"My name is Den Ookami. Kurogane, I came here because I have a deal to strike with you." The man presented himself and his intentions.

"Deal? What deal?! You wanna sell my body or some shit?!" Kurogane kept questioning.

"If I wanted to sell you, I wouldn't have bothered to come here. I'd just buy you from the police and that's that." Den answered.

"Then just spill it out already, man!" Kurogane growled again.

"Hasty, aren't you? Very well. I came here to... adopt you, for the lack of a better term." Den said.

Kurogane looked utterly confused. Why would someone go out of his way to adopt a kid who's currently behind bars when there are pure, innocent kids out there, waiting for someone to call them "son" or "daughter"?

"Dude... if whatcha want is a kid, ain't there better options? The hell yer doing here, wanting me?" Kurogane asked, confused.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong. You're not going to be exactly my kid. More like... my pupil, maybe?" Den answered.

"Pupil? So what, you think I'm gonna call ya Master or some shit? Well, if that's the case, then get lost." Kurogane said, bothered.

"I knew you would say that. Good thing I came prepared for this already." Den answered.

From his beautiful kimono, he took out some papers. When Kurogane looked, it was his probation file, his registry as a prisoner, and a deal to swap his sentence.

"If you follow through with my proposal, I can guarantee you that you'll be free from this prison. Right there is a deal to grant you parole. All you'll have to do is live under my roof and my orders, and you let me do the rest." Den spoke, smiling.

"What the... but... why? Why do ya want to help me?" Kurogane asked.

"You're not some thief that has been stealing because it's fun. You did this because you had no other choice but to survive this way. And you wanted to protect those little friends you made on the streets too. That I can respect, so I'm offering you a different approach to your goal WITHOUT the need to steal things from people." Den explained.

"I-I get that... but why me, of all people?" Kurogane asked again.

"Well, I see in your eyes someone who has gone through a lot. Maybe that experience you had, wherever it was, could help someone in need. And a boy like you, with a big heart like yours, will do it just fine, won't you?" Den answered.

Hearing that made Kurogane cry. The tough and violent boy who was acting so brave has been dominated by teardrops and was bawling like a child. The kindness that Den had was something Kurogane never experienced himself throughout his entire life. Memories of the circus came by, as he kept crying.

"So then, what is your answer? Do you want another chance at like, Kurogane?" Den asked, gently.

"M... mmhmm..." He answered amidst tears.

"Good. Then sign the deal for me." Den instructed him.

Kurogane looked at the deal. He didn't bother to read the words and just did the best signature he could. Even if he wanted to read, he was crying too much for him to actually make any sentences out of it. Once he finished signing the deal, he gave the paper back to Den.

"Alright. Now I need you to be brave and wait for me. In the next days, I'll be getting you out of here and you'll start a new life under my tutelage, got it?" Den instructed him again.

"Y-Yeah sir..." Kurogane answered.

"I'll be seeing you soon, Kurogane Ookami." Den said, leaving the room.

Kurogane looked at his clothes and then at the park. He never imagined having this sort of freedom before in his life. Now, he was a student at Lord Kiburi's, and his parole was going better than ever since he was keeping himself on the line. He didn't want to return back to prison or disappoint his master. Though missing the Midnight Tournament will have to require some explanation from him, he felt as if everything was going to be fine, and that he may have avoided a big bullet for not going with the others.

"Hnngh! Alright, I'm rested up and enjoyed a good night. Time to head back." He spoke, getting up.

He got up and left the park, going down the streets. He looked at the beautiful sky while walking down the path back to the school. He had to get back to the dorm otherwise he would be lost in the middle of the town, and that would end up becoming another explanation, one he actually didn't want to give. He may be used to live in the streets, but he certainly wouldn't want to be found by any officer who would even suggest that he was doing something bad. The cops weren't exactly friendly, so it was better to dodge them than to provoke them, especially in the middle of the day.

Zephyr Regrard

Location: Sir Clausewitz's School for the Militarily Minded, Corridor
Interactions: None

BGM: Fortress of Lies (NieR: Automata)

Morning came, and so started another day for the students. The most rigid school in all of Rhea had its students all awake and risen up in the first hour of the morning. Whether this was a way to separate the strong from the weak-willed was unknown, but they were already used to it. The bustling students still had some moments to make use of before heading off to their classes.

(It's that annoying day of the week. Again. What a pain...) He thought to himself.

Zephyr Regrard. One of the most popular, yet dangerous students in Sir Clausewitz's School for the Militarily Minded. Many students admired his strength, others hated his attitude. The same thing could be said about the teachers. Zephyr wasn't their cup of tea, since he was one of the most problematic students in the school. He has good grades to compensate for the number of disciplinary problems he carries on his record. But this was something that didn't matter to him. Something so fickle as "reputation" could be easily twisted around if he ever had the interest to bother with such a thing.

"Zeeeeeeephyyyyyyyr~!!" A voice called for him.

When he looked behind, a female student was going in his direction. Her friends were looking all from a distance, no one wanting to get even close to him. He looked at her with his deadpan visage, as she spoke to him.

"W-Wow... I can't believe that I'm actually able to talk to you! This is such a miracle!" The girl spoke, excited.

"... What do you want?" He asked.

"Well, my friends are going to hang out after school, so I thought that maybe you could come along with us!" She spoke, excited.

"Pass. Now go bother someone else." He answered.

"Oh really? Then... maybe you and I can have some fun together? Just the two of us?" The girl asked.

"Huh? Why?" He questioned.

"I mean, you're one of the coolest guys in school, so maybe a date between you and me will be a hit for the ages! I mean, I'm pretty cute myself, so we totally match!" She answered.

"I don't want to. Now get lost." He spoke, turning his back on her and leaving.

"Whaaaaat?! Awww, come on Zeeeeeeephyyyyr~!! Just one daaaaaate, pleeeeease!!" She spoke, grabbing his arm.

"... Let go of me, you bitch." He ordered, looking at her coldly.

"You don't have to be that mean, you know?! It's just one date, it's not going to hurt you, right?! After that, I'll leave you alone, but please, please let me just have this chance! I swear, it's going to be lots of fun and we can have a nice coffee, or tea, or even some beers to make it account..."

The girl kept speaking... until she couldn't. Zephyr used his powers to mute her "volume" and make him unable to hear her. As he did that, he turned his back on her and kept walking, ignoring her as if she didn't exist while she kept talking and even start to bawl in sadness and humiliation after being rejected. He didn't care for her feelings. All he wanted right now was silence. Especially from her annoying voice.

(Ending her with my power is a waste of my time. I bet she wouldn't be able to wake up for the next week, which would do me a huge favor... but I'm not going to. I'll just go to the faculty office as I was instructed.) He thought.

That's when another student, this time a male, stopped him in his tracks. He looked pissed at Zephyr, who didn't change his own face as they stared each other in the face.

"What the hell's your problem?! How can you leave a girl like that after she invited you out, dude?! You got no heart or something?!" He asked.

"If you're interested in her, go ahead and pick her up. Now let me go before I make you." Zephyr said.

"You think you're some super bigshot that can just order us around like some minions, huh? People like you need to learn a lesson." The student retorted, getting angrier.

"... Let me go and get out of my sight, you worm." Zephyr demanded.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S A WORM HERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"

*BGM stops*

The student tried to punch Zephyr, who evaded him. Without any second thought, Zephyr put his headphones in his ears, used his power, and released a disturbing and loud noise in the area. All the students around them instantly blocked their ears as the cacophonic sound invaded the inside of their heads. The student crouched as he was the closest one to Zephyr and the noise was ridiculously high where he stood. Taking advantage of that, Zephyr hit him with a roundhouse kick in the head.
The student fell down and tried to get up, but Zephyr stomped on his head before he could even move.

BGM: You Want It (Resident Evil: Code Veronica)

"UGH!!" The student groaned.

"Pathetic little whelp. Should I finish your life right now?" Zephyr asked.

"Y-You wouldn't dare...!!" The student spoke, in pain.

"Then you'd do well to think twice before confronting me again. I'll let you live today, but there won't be a second time." Zephyr said.

He then kicked the student's head as if it was a football. The strength was enough to cause the student to bleed and fall unconscious. The other students watched the scene agape, while a few of them decided to go to help. The girl who was bawling changed her expression to a horrified face as she looked at him. She quickly got up and ran away back to her friends.

(Utterly boring. It's really not worth ending this bastard more than what I already did.) Zephyr thought.

He put on his headphones and walked away towards the faculty office, as he initially intended to. Some students picked up the injured one and ran to the infirmary. The others who stood there, still shocked at the coldhearted colleague, all took their phones out and began to warn everyone. The message began to spread around the school, as quickly as spam to an e-mail. And the warning was very clear:

"Don't mess with the Maestro... or else he'll kill you."

*BGM ends*

Noble Arms - The ASEAN War [Moved to New Thread]

Location: Lingayen Beach, Municipality of Lingayen, Lingayen Gulf
Interactions: None

The brilliant light that covered the whole area was enough to engulf the ground in blazes and raze the sand to cinders. The horrific scene was only visible after this cruel sunlight dissipated at last. If it wasn't for the barrier, they'd be dead on the spot.

BGM: Into the Dark Clouds (Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt)

When Regil opened his eyes, he saw the scene. The horror took his eyes completely, the scene was imprinted on his mind.

"Holy Mother Mary, what the..." One of Regina's soldiers commented.

"W-What the hell was that?!" Another one questioned.

"... Figures. The enemy brought its big guns. If we have ours, then they have some of their own too." Regina commented.

"It's one of those blasted Arm thingies those tech nerds at home kept speaking about. Fucking hell..." A third soldier complained.

(This... is this war? To just destroy the ground like it was nothing... and for what?) Regil thought, horrified.

"Specialist Meitner, how are we going to do this? Should we retreat and regroup?" The pilot asked.

*BGM ends*

"Retreat? Go do it yourself if you want." She answered.

"S-Specialist Meitner?" The pilot questioned her.

"So what if the enemy has one of these Noble Arms? So what if this was some possible new nuclear weapon these bastards made? If they're going to play the heavy guns, then so am I." Regina said.

Regina's Battle Theme: Old Fear

She unsheathed her dagger, her Noble Arm. Darkness started to envelop Regina, taking the form of a black cape. From it, blood-red eyes began to open and look at the field, unhinged, crazy, demented, and hungry. Two gigantic hands revealed themselves from the cape as if they were part of it. A strange laugh echoed among the field if only momentarily, sounding like a child giggling yet a monstrous intent could be felt from it.

"Cover me with your guns and make sure to defend Regil. The enemy might already know that his power's giving us the advantage, so that's why they decided to raze the ground to cinders." Regina ordered her soldiers.

"W-What are you going to do, Regina?" Regil asked.

"I'm stepping in. I'll wipe these Chinese smirks off just because some attack almost ended us all." She answered.

"An attack at that power and density could only mean that it's a Noble Arm at work! We don't know if it's safe to go in the frontlines right now-" Regil tried to suggest, but she cut him off.

"And since when all of this was safe, to begin with?" She retorted.

"Well, that's just because... I..." But he lost his words.

"... This is war, not a playground. If you don’t have the guts to spill blood, leave this place to those with the actual courage to do it. We don't need weaklings, we need soldiers. People who'll grab a weapon and are ready to defend their lives at all cost. We don't give a shit to ethics and morals if we want to live another day." Regina said, coldly.

Regil had to bite his tongue before answering her. This wasn't the same Regina he once knew. She changed. She saw the tragedy of war, blood being spilled, and lives being destroyed. Something he could only see and hear from afar. The soldiers questioned themselves why Regina would say that to her own brother, whom she called here in the first place, only to speak so dismissively to her own kindred. But this was a wake-up call. She wanted him to understand what he needed to do.

"Snipers, remember your orders and give me cover! Launchers, keep attacking the aerial units! Pilot, grab a gun and stand close to Regil! And you, brother..." Regina reminded them.

"..." He looked at her in utter silence.

"Wake up." She ordered him.

Regina ran towards the frontlines, with her snipers already covering her from afar. The launchers still shot at the aerial stragglers left behind. Regil could only look at his sister, as she left the area and was almost crossing the shield placed by Ari.

"Young Sir Regil!" The pilot called him.

"A-Ah, right... sorry. I need to check on something first." Regil said.

"Then let's fall back to the helicopter. It'll give you some time to think." The pilot answered.

"Alright then, let's go." Regil said, backing off towards the helicopter, being followed by the pilot.

Regil and the pilot went back to the helicopter, accompanied by the Queen. As for Regina, she ran without looking back a second time. There were no more second thoughts: she had to use her power. Otherwise, it would be game over. The Witch was already delighted to be unleashed, at last, ready to devour its enemies and its vessel at the same time.

"Those were some brave words back there, for someone who wouldn't give a second thought to sacrificing her allies to survive. Hey, how long are you going to keep secrets from your crew and your brother about what actually happened back on the day we met?" The Witch provoked her.

"Shut the hell up and just fight! I'm giving you what you want, so do your part of the deal already!" Regina retorted.

"Okaaay~! Let the bloodbath begin... AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The Witch laughed.

Fluffy Living Flower

"As long as there’s someone trusting you until the end, there will be a reason to move on. And if you don’t have that someone, you have me now!"

Name: Lambda Lazuli
Title: Smiling and Cloudy Gardener
Nickname: Lamb, Flower, Woolie
Age: 16
Gender: Male
School: St. Laurel's School of Divine Excellence
Grade: 1st Year
Nationality: Unknown town
Personality: Lambda is the description of a bubbly person. He's extremely energetic and positive, almost as if he was living in a world of his own, separated from the rest of the world. He's always trying to take some sort of good part out of every situation and does his best job to see that everyone around him is sharing the same happiness he has, whether little or big. In a sense, he almost feels like a mascot, with how eager and sometimes funny he can be.

Lambda sometimes gets really caught in his own vibes, however, and tends to overdo many things that would be simple for the sake of excitement and to make people positive. A simple cleaning task, for example, becomes some sort of game if left in Lambda's hands, which can become a problem since he doesn't know when to stop, or if he's being a complete and utter annoyance to the rest of the world. These are the main reasons why Lambda isn't taken as seriously as he should be, and that's mostly (if not entirely) thanks to his own ways of seeing the world.

But one of Lambda's biggest issues is the fact that he doesn't want to be left alone by people. The idea of loneliness is a nightmare to him since he was always surrounded by others and feels this as a necessity. So even if it's toxic and unhealthy to him, Lambda will keep whatever shard of relationship he has in order to avoid the thought of actually being alone.

Another big issue with Lambda is his high level of innocence. Even though he is a 16-year-old teenager, he sometimes has the mind of a child when it comes to many mature points in life. This also means he can be taken advantage of since he doesn't tend to question whether or not what someone told him is true or not, making him a pretty easy target for people who want to take advantage of him.
Bio: Lambda's origins are not from Rhea, but from another town, of name unknown. He was an orphan child who was abandoned in the streets as a newborn, having no name whatsoever. He was found by the owners of an orphanage who brought him in and took care of him. However, he was pretty distant from other children initially, being very hesitant to draw himself toward others and establish social relationships. Thus, he lived without a name, and alone.

What he loved to do was look and tend to the orphanage's small garden. It was the children's favorite place to play around, and also the owners' own place of respite whenever necessary. It was also where they grew gifts to give to visitors whenever they came around. Because this was a symbol of happiness in his home and where all the ones he loved had their moments of joy and peace, he did everything he could to make it so that they would be happy, even if for just a minute.

When he was 7 years old, a mysterious man came to the orphanage and looked at the kids. When he saw the young little kid in the corner, he was drawn to him. After completing the process, the mysterious man adopted the young boy and named him "Lambda".

And so, the man introduced himself as Alpha Lazuli, one of the nobles in the distant lands of Rhea. However, the Lazuli family was known to be one of the most corrupted families in the lands, with their story driven in blood and betrayal, all in the name of success. As the current leader of the family, he wanted to create a turning point, by introducing an heir who could make the name of the Lazuli family shine, not by riches but by his heart.

After introducing himself properly, Alpha told Lambda that he wanted to child who could carry his legacy. Lambda asked him why he was chosen, and Alpha answered that the boy's kindness was what he needed to make his dream come true. He also explained that, as an infertile man, no woman in Rhea wanted to be enamored to him, as there would be no upbringing to be had.

Once he was settled in his new home, in Rhea, Lambda kept enjoying a precious life that was given to him by his new father, as a reward for his kindness and generosity. However, Lambda still gave away some of his most treasured possessions to charity and to help those in need, whether it was money or simply time.

For the next years, Lambda went through a very pampered life, though he was still in training to actually be Alpha's heir. Once Lambda completed 10 years old, he has shown signs of promise, by developing a magical aura around him. He also noticed how the people around him seemed to be more happy and calmer than usual, even those who were induced in full rage.

One night, Lambda has a mysterious dream, where a voice calls upon him. That’s when he meets a small light in a blank space. This light, sent by the Goddess of Compassion and Trust as an envoy, explains that Lambda’s way of life has made him worthy of receiving her blessing, giving him the power to be able to understand people better, with hopes of making peace settle in the hearts of Rhea’s inhabitants, amidst this chaos. He felt pretty happy as the Goddess asks Lambda, through her envoy, to never give up on his kindhearted ways, despite the darkness of the world.

5 years pass in the blink of an eye. Now that he approached the necessary age, Alpha enrolled Lambda in one of Rhea's grand schools, choosing St. Laurel. Lambda now starts his first year in his new school, ready to train and become the heir his father would be hugely proud of.

Powers

Core: Reaching the Heart’s Depths
The blessing from the Goddess of Compassion and Trust gives Lambda the power to firmly understand the heart of everyone else. This allows him to fully grasp a person’s feelings, lifestyle and desires just by a little bit of talking with them. This core power also derives itself into various similar powers which make Lambda feel like someone’s best friend or, sometimes, a distant family member lost in the annals of time. While none of them are apt for combat, this also makes Lambda less targetable for a fight.

First Power: Maybell, the Flower of Happiness
Lambda’s first power. He can use his power to conjure and hold a magical Maybell flower that constantly radiates positive energy toward its surroundings. The positive energy emanated by the flower heightens positive emotions such as happiness and giddiness, while it diminishes negative emotions such as sadness and anger, though the true impact of this power will clearly depend on the feelings of the affected person. The flower's energy affects an area of 50m and stays active for 1 hour at max, with Lambda needing to wait 30 minutes to actually summon another one. He can also conjure this flower to someone else, but the flower will only affect the person, staying active for 1 hour.

Second Power: Lavender, the Flower of Peace
Lambda’s second power. He’s able to conjure a magical Lavender flower that can instantly cure mental and emotional afflictions from another person, with a burst of lavender petals that surround them, allowing them to return to a peaceful state of mind. This flower is used instantly and disappears the moment it is touched by the receiver.

Third Power: Sage, the Flower of Health
Lambda’s third power. He can also conjure a magical Sage that allows Lambda to heal a person's physical injuries, being the only power that can be applied in combat. By giving the flower to a person, the petals instantly disperse and surround it, healing all physical injuries that are present. However, this isn't a substitution for loss of blood, as the petals will close and heal the injury, but not restore the lost blood from a person. Also, they only heal external physical injuries, not being applicable for internal uses. This flower is used instantly and disappears the moment it is touched by the receiver, and Lambda cannot summon another for 1 hour once it has been used.

Woof, Woof, Arooo!

Personality: Kurogane has a rebellious heart by nature and doesn’t like following the rules. Much like a true thug, he has a bad attitude, a short temper, and a forceful way of doing things, by acting first and thinking later, preferably with his fists doing the talk instead of the mouth. He’s pretty much the typical bully student who’s a constant nightmare for the teachers.

However, Kurogane isn’t evil. Despite his bad boy persona, he just responds in violence if provoked with violence. Otherwise, he actually keeps himself in check and out of trouble most of the time, enjoying his freedom to his fullest and trying the best he can to lead a good-natured life as a member of society.

What he also has is a “Robin Hood” way of thinking. Because he has his own power and of how he lived his life, Kurogane believes that he can be some sort of badass hero who can protect the weak. What he fails to remember is that he's just a human with some powers, not some indestructible superhero who can take on many dangers, which further causes a bigger share of problems to him and to those whom he is trying to help somehow.

He’s very vulnerable to being pet and to acts of kindness, immediately blushing if someone is extremely kind to him. Because Kurogane didn’t live in such a scenario, he also tends to get doubtful, emotional, or both at the same time when people start to give him affection. Because of this, he can be taken advantage of if one were to use this kindness to lure him in.
Bio: The origins of this boy hail from Izumo, where he was born and abandoned in the wild for reasons unknown, something that he never actually looked at or had any curiosity to know. What he does remember starts when he was taken by some wolves in the forest, and raised as one of them. He didn’t know how to speak the human language but learned how to speak with wolves, being able to only growl and howl like an animal.

However, during one of his sprints in the forest with his fellow “brothers”, when he was just 5 years old, a group of hunters attacked the pack, killing almost every single wolf, except for two of them that escaped. The boy tried to fight back like an animal, but he wasn’t strong enough to take on the hunters by himself. As such, he was put down and taken away by them.

When he woke up, he was inside a cage. What happened is that he was sold by these hunters to a clandestine circus troupe that treated him as one of their attractions to entertain the public: “Kurogane, the Werewolf”. Since then, for the next 5 years, he had to forcefully learn how to speak as a human amidst his growling and roaring, while taking enormous beatdowns because he wasn’t complying with the orders given to him.

The God of Wolves, sensing the grief and pain felt by a human who was just as much of a kindred as his own, bestowed Kurogane with a blessing of lycanthropy. From that point onward, he was far stronger and faster than any human, while growing a second pair of ears and a tail. That newfound strength allowed him to break the bars and escape, fleeing far away from the troupe.

By that point, Kurogane was no longer in Izumo, but in the lands of Rhea, a strange and unknown land far away from his home. He lived on the streets, finding a company with the abandoned dogs on the streets, forming a new family of his own. They pretty much lived like one, as Kurogane understood them completely and vice versa, doing “heists” for food and to enjoy life.

When he completed 14 years, Kurogane was caught for theft and sent to juvenile prison. That’s when a man named Den Ookami came to Kurogane, offering him a proposal to pay his sentence: he would live under his tutelage and join one of the four big schools in Rhea, all the while living like a normal person and away from his past ways. Without other options, Kurogane went through with it.

Now, as an Ookami, Kurogane was sent to Lord Kiburi's School for the Truly Exceptional, when he completed 16 years old and is now in his second year. He lives his life as he wants, considering the school’s lack of rules. What he couldn’t imagine, though, is that he would create a desire to change schools because of one person...

Powers

Core: Blessed Lycanthropy
The Blessing given by the God of Wolves changed Kurogane’s physiology into a werewolf, albeit more human looking than normal. This core power gives Kurogane enhanced strength and speed, as well as enhanced senses equal to a wolf. This, however, isn’t equal to a curse, which allows Kurogane to behave normally instead of being a monster moved by animal instincts, meaning that he has more mental stability than a full-fledged lycanthrope is able to have.

First Power: Connection to the Caninae
Kurogane’s first power. He’s able to communicate and understand canine animals as if he was talking to a normal human being. This is the reason why Kurogane became a respected leader to his pack of dogs, as he’s the only one able to bridge the lapse between wolves and humans, being a sort of translator. He cannot communicate with other animals, though.

Second Power: Lunar Primal Instinct
Kurogane’s second power. Following the roots of lycanthropy, Kurogane gets even stronger on nights when the full moon is present and clearly visible. All of his physical and sensorial augments get even stronger, allowing him to become far more dangerous than he already is. However, this is also where his animal desires heighten, so he can go a little crazier even if his core power already blocks these instincts.

Third Power: Lupine Malformation
Kurogane’s third power. He’s able to transform himself both into a wolf and into a full werewolf, allowing him to get enhanced physical and sensorial augments. However, that transformation is not something that Kurogane himself can pick, and it just happens at random times, which is why this ability is called malformation.

Just be Quiet

"Your sound bores me. Consider yourself deleted from my playlist. Forever."

Name: Zephyr Regrard
Title: The Maestro of Sound and Soul
Nickname: Zeph, Beat, Conductor
Age: 18
Gender: Male
School: Sir Clausewitz's School for the Militarily Minded
Grade: 3rd Year
Nationality: Rhea
Personality: Zephyr can be described integrally as aloof. He gained popularity through this aspect of his very own personality, being the cool and collected type of man. Upon looking at him, one could say that he has absolutely no desire whatsoever and is just an emotionless puppet going through life as if he was following orders.

However, Zephyr’s actually uninterested in many things. Because of how he grew up in society, he becomes easily bored and instantly loses any significant semblance of someone who’s genuinely living, and looks more like a robot who doesn’t actually try to get along with anyone.

When that interest does show, Zephyr’s actions become... unstable, to say the least. He starts to instantly stalk this interest, whether it’s a person, a hobby, an object, whatever it is. He wants to keep himself close to this interest as much as he can manage before he can lose it without even trying EVERYTHING it can offer him. If it ends up in failure, he discards it. But if it’s something that truly interests him, he’s going to keep it to the very end.

What earned him his title is how ruthless Zephyr can be while fighting. Because of his natural boredom, he doesn’t know the words “hold back” and just wants to make whatever boring thing disappear from his sight at once. As such, when fighting Zephyr, his opponent cannot consider even a spar as safe and must treat it as the real deal.
Bio: Zephyr was born in Rhea, and is the single heir to the Regard Family, a noble household. His childhood was filled with riches, and he had everything he ever wished for in the palm of his hand since his parents were always so eager to make their son’s wishes come true.

That upbringing came to a cost, which was Zephyr’s sense of appeal. Because he was able to have everything and anything, he grew bored very easily since nothing was interesting enough for him. As such, he began to acquire and discard stuff faster than anyone would care to count since everything draws his curiosity at the beginning but then goes stale for the next few days.

As he grew up, this same sense of boredom translated onto people as well. He started to find people annoying and boring, wishing to discard them as soon as possible. However, that in itself was not easy, even for him. His singular wish was to have some way to select whatever he wanted to hear or not in life. And yet, no matter how much he tried, that wish never came true.

Until one day, that is.

The God of Sound, amused at Zephyr’s insistent wish, gifted him with a power that would make him able to control and manipulate the sounds of the world. With that power, Zephyr found another way to “eliminate” people. He began to silence everything he considered boring and only started to listen to what he actually wanted to hear. It seemed like a miracle happening to him, as he was now able to fully select whatever he wished to hear.

That power is what led to the start of Zephyr’s most rebellious phase in life. Now that he was starting to grow up, the life of countless obtaining started to dwindle and the expectations came without a sign of control. Thanks to his new powers, he began to silence everything that was undesirable, including his own parents, and acted as he wanted, without a problem whatsoever, since he could just mute whatever annoyed him.

At least, in theory.

His actions led his parents to enroll him at Sir Clausewitz's School for the Militarily Minded, as a punishment for his very own rebel attitude. He acted like always, silencing whatever he didn’t want to hear. But the retaliation for such actions came as harsh as everyone warned him. Despite wanting to live in his own little world, the academy thought otherwise, and Zephyr’s life became a whirlpool of chaos.

Rage came in. His wish wasn’t respected by anyone, students and teachers alike. This started to create a fury that had never settled in his life before. That feeling of anger drew every sound towards his way, as he became a magnet to every little bit of sound. And with a single scream, energy drew out of him and a horrific sound began to echo around the entire school. When the inspectors came by to verify the situation, the scene was very horrifying just like the sound.

The entire room was in shambles. It was as if a bomb exploded and destroyed everything. And yet, there was no flame, just a teenager standing there, with eyes blazing as the sun. Seeing the situation itself triggered something into Zephyr. A new fire kindled itself in his heart: a sudden interest to fight people and remove whatever obstacle he found annoying and utterly undesirable.

After the incident, Zephyr began to enroll in combat classes, in order to master this newfound ability. He started slowly but quickly began to ascend within his class, as his interest grew higher every single day. Eventually, he started to participate in the school’s official matches and fought against his upperclassmen.

One specific match was the trigger that Zephyr was not a simple fighter. This fight had Zephyr against an upperclassman. However, during the fight, his eyes grew cold. He lost interest in the fight and wanted his opponent gone for good. He initially asked for him to leave, only to get laughed at by the entire crowd watching. As the fight continued, however, Zephyr began to assume a merciless position. Now that he had the power to hurt people, he used it at will, wishing for nothing else but the end of his opponent. And so he almost did. He drove his opponent to a state where his body was horribly hurt and almost truly killed him.

This pattern repeated itself every time Zephyr was placed to fight, eventually earning him the title “The Maestro of Sound and Souls” throughout the school. Even the teachers, albeit impressed, admitted that he was pretty dangerous. Not because of his power, but because of his attitude.

Now, in his 3rd year, Zephyr is one of the most popular, desired, and feared students in his school. He lives every day trying to find something interesting to have. That’s when a student, from another school, calls his attention.

Powers

Core: World Sound Control
Zephyr’s primary power is the ability to manipulate and control sound waves, whether these are his own or coming from external sources. This core power is what allows him to fight others transforming these soundwaves into shockwaves, and projectiles, as well as allowing him to freely select what he wishes to hear or not. Because using this power offensively can do so much damage on his hearing sensory, he fights using headphones.

First Power: Inputs to Your Song
Zephyr’s first power. He’s able to alter volume, pitch, echo, and many other factors regarding sound, making him a sort of living mixing table. This power is most used as a daily life ability since it serves little to no purpose in battle unless the strategy desperately calls for this ability in specific.

Second Power: From Melodious to Cacophonic
Zephyr’s second power, and his offensive attack. He’s able to gather whatever sound is present in the region and transform it into energy projectiles or waves to directly attack his opponents. Because it’s basically compressed sound, it releases an enormously disturbing noise once it connects to a physical object, this also happens if Zephyr’s attacks are canceled by others. However, while Zephyr is innately immune to this noise, he cannot choose who is going to be affected or not by it, meaning this attack can backfire against others if he’s fighting with a teammate or a squad.

Third Power: Hour of Eternal Silence
Zephyr’s third power. He’s able to infuse himself or someone else with a curse where no sound is made or heard whatsoever. This can be used both in daily life and in battle since it affects any kind of sound. True to its name, though, this curse can only withstand for one complete hour, no more or no less, and it’s the only power Zephyr possesses that cannot be canceled.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

@supertinyking, I'll be moving Kurogane and Zephyr for now, but I had to edit Lambda a little after discussing it with everyone else in the Discord server, so he's resubmitted for a new evaluation.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

Thanks @Dezuel. And I'm sure I will enjoy, the premise is pretty interesting and enjoyable.

About the Discord, can I join in even if I'm not approved? If yes, I'll gladly jump in.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

<Snipped quote by MagusDream>

Perhaps ping the GMs?

@Letter Bee

No, that's not necessary. I can wait for the approval, it's just to see if someone else has a personal input about them.

<Snipped quote by MagusDream>

I don't think there is, actually, but that's just my gut feeling. The GMs have yet to chime in, but I'm fairly sure these sheets will get accepted. Just a matter of when they get looked over fully, as the GMs are busy for various reasons currently. So definitely don't drop them in the CS tab yet though.

@Lewascan2

Sure thing. IRL can be difficult sometimes, so I can wait.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

So, is there anything that I need to explain, fix, or delete about Lambda, Kurogane and Zephyr? If not, can I move them to the CS tab or not yet?

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

OK, I'm willing to try this again, after giving it much thought based on @Lewascan2 told about my first try, and after gathering the info needed to understand the lore in general. I have some more to show today, so I want to see if these three work now.

Name: Lambda Lazuli
Title: Smiling and Cloudy Gardener
Nickname: Lamb, Flower, Woolie
Age: 16
Gender: Male
School: St. Laurel's School of Divine Excellence
Grade: 1st Year
Nationality: Unknown town
Personality: Lambda is the description of a bubbly person. He's extremely energetic and positive, almost as if he was living in a world of his own, separated from the rest of the world. He's always trying to take some sort of good part out of every situation and does his best job to see that everyone around him is sharing the same happiness he has, whether little or big. In a sense, he almost feels like a mascot, with how eager and sometimes funny he can be.

Lambda sometimes gets really caught in his own vibes, however, and tends to overdo many things that would be simple for the sake of excitement and to make people positive. A simple cleaning task, for example, becomes some sort of game if left in Lambda's hands, which can become a problem since he doesn't know when to stop, or if he's being a complete and utter annoyance to the rest of the world. These are the main reasons why Lambda isn't taken as seriously as he should be, and that's mostly (if not entirely) thanks to his own ways of seeing the world.

But one of Lambda's biggest issues is the fact that he doesn't want to be left alone by people. The idea of loneliness is a nightmare to him since he was always surrounded by others and feels this as a necessity. So even if it's toxic and unhealthy to him, Lambda will keep whatever shard of relationship he has in order to avoid the thought of actually being alone.

Another big issue with Lambda is his high level of innocence. Even though he is a 16-year-old teenager, he sometimes has the mind of a child when it comes to many mature points in life. This also means he can be taken advantage of since he doesn't tend to question whether or not what someone told him is true or not, making him a pretty easy target for people who want to take advantage of him.
Bio: Lambda's origins are not from Rhea, but from another town, of name unknown. He was an orphan child who was abandoned in the streets as a newborn, having no name whatsoever. He was found by the owners of an orphanage who brought him in and took care of him. However, he was pretty distant from other children initially, being very hesitant to draw himself toward others and establish social relationships. Thus, he lived without a name, and alone.

What he loved to do was look and tend to the orphanage's small garden. It was the children's favorite place to play around, and also the owners' own place of respite whenever necessary. It was also where they grew gifts to give to visitors whenever they came around. Because this was a symbol of happiness in his home and where all the ones he loved had their moments of joy and peace, he did everything he could to make it so that they would be happy, even if for just a minute.

When he was 7 years old, a mysterious man came to the orphanage and looked at the kids. When he saw the young little kid in the corner, he was drawn to him. After completing the process, the mysterious man adopted the young boy and named him "Lambda".

And so, the man introduced himself as Alpha Lazuli, one of the nobles in the distant lands of Rhea. However, the Lazuli family was known to be one of the most corrupted families in the lands, with their story driven in blood and betrayal, all in the name of success. As the current leader of the family, he wanted to create a turning point, by introducing an heir who could make the name of the Lazuli family shine, not by riches but by his heart.

After introducing himself properly, Alpha told Lambda that he wanted to child who could carry his legacy. Lambda asked him why he was chosen, and Alpha answered that the boy's kindness was what he needed to make his dream come true. He also explained that, as an infertile man, no woman in Rhea wanted to be enamored to him, as there would be no upbringing to be had.

Once he was settled in his new home, in Rhea, Lambda kept enjoying a precious life that was given to him by his new father, as a reward for his kindness and generosity. However, Lambda still gave away some of his most treasured possessions to charity and to help those in need, whether it was money or simply time.

For the next years, Lambda went through a very pampered life, though he was still in training to actually be Alpha's heir. Once Lambda completed 10 years old, he has shown signs of promise, by developing a magical aura around him. He also noticed how the people around him seemed to be more happy and calmer than usual, even those who were induced in full rage.

One night, Lambda has a mysterious dream, where a voice calls upon him. That’s when he meets a small light in a blank space. This light, sent by the Goddess of Compassion and Trust as an envoy, explains that Lambda’s way of life has made him worthy of receiving her blessing, giving him the power to be able to understand people better, with hopes of making peace settle in the hearts of Rhea’s inhabitants, amidst this chaos. He felt pretty happy as the Goddess asks Lambda, through her envoy, to never give up on his kindhearted ways, despite the darkness of the world.

5 years pass in the blink of an eye. Now that he approached the necessary age, Alpha enrolled Lambda in one of Rhea's grand schools, choosing St. Laurel. Lambda now starts his first year in his new school, ready to train and become the heir his father would be hugely proud of.

Powers

Core: Reaching the Heart’s Depths
The blessing from the Goddess of Compassion and Trust gives Lambda the power to firmly understand the heart of everyone else. This allows him to fully grasp a person’s feelings, lifestyle and desires just by a little bit of talking with them. This core power also derives itself into various similar powers which make Lambda feel like someone’s best friend or, sometimes, a distant family member lost in the annals of time. While none of them are apt for combat, this also makes Lambda less targetable for a fight.

First Power: Maybell, the Flower of Happiness
Lambda’s first power. He can use his power to conjure and hold a magical Maybell flower that constantly radiates positive energy toward its surroundings. The positive energy emanated by the flower heightens positive emotions such as happiness and giddiness, while it diminishes negative emotions such as sadness and anger, though the true impact of this power will clearly depend on the feelings of the affected person. The flower's energy affects an area of 50m and stays active for 1 hour at max, with Lambda needing to wait 30 minutes to actually summon another one. He can also conjure this flower to someone else, but the flower will only affect the person, staying active for 1 hour.

Second Power: Lavender, the Flower of Peace
Lambda’s second power. He’s able to conjure a magical Lavender flower that can instantly cure mental and emotional afflictions from another person, with a burst of lavender petals that surround them, allowing them to return to a peaceful state of mind. This flower is used instantly and disappears the moment it is touched by the receiver.

Third Power: Sage, the Flower of Health
Lambda’s third power. He can also conjure a magical Sage that allows Lambda to heal a person's physical injuries, being the only power that can be applied in combat. By giving the flower to a person, the petals instantly disperse and surround it, healing all physical injuries that are present. However, this isn't a substitution for loss of blood, as the petals will close and heal the injury, but not restore the lost blood from a person. Also, they only heal external physical injuries, not being applicable for internal uses. This flower is used instantly and disappears the moment it is touched by the receiver, and Lambda cannot summon another for 1 hour once it has been used.

Woof, Woof, Arooo!

Name: Kurogane Ookami
Title: The Pure-Hearted Bad Wolf
Nickname: Kuro, Fang, Wolfy

Personality: Kurogane has a rebellious heart by nature and doesn’t like following the rules.

What he also has is a “Robin Hood” way of thinking. Because he has his own power and of how he lived his life, Kurogane believes that he can be some sort of badass hero who can protect the weak. What he fails to remember is that he's just a human with some powers, not some indestructible superhero who can take on many dangers, which further causes a bigger share of problems to him and to those whom he is trying to help somehow.

He’s very vulnerable to being pet and to acts of kindness, immediately blushing if someone is extremely kind to him. Because Kurogane didn’t live in such a scenario, he also tends to get doubtful, emotional, or both at the same time when people start to give him affection.

Since then, for the next 5 years, he had to forcefully learn how to speak as a human amidst his growling and roaring, while taking enormous beatdowns because he wasn’t complying with the orders given to him.

The God of Wolves, sensing the grief and pain felt by a human who was just as much of a kindred as his own, bestowed Kurogane with a blessing of lycanthropy. From that point onward, he was far stronger and faster than any human, while growing a second pair of ears and a tail. That newfound strength allowed him to break the bars and escape, fleeing far away from the troupe.

By that point, Kurogane was no longer in Izumo, but in the lands of Rhea, a strange and unknown land far away from his home. He lived on the streets, finding a company with the abandoned dogs on the streets, forming a new family of his own. They pretty much lived like one, as Kurogane understood them completely and vice versa, doing “heists” for food and to enjoy life.

That’s when a man named Den Ookami came to Kurogane, offering him a proposal to pay his sentence: he would live under his tutelage and join one of the four big schools in Rhea, all the while living like a normal person and away from his past ways. Without other options, Kurogane went through with it.

Now, as an Ookami, Kurogane was sent to Lord Kiburi's School for the Truly Exceptional, when he completed 16 years old and is now in his second year. He lives his life as he wants, considering the school’s lack of rules. What he couldn’t imagine, though, is that he would create a desire to change schools because of one person...

Seeing the situation itself triggered something into Zephyr. A new fire kindled itself in his heart: a sudden interest to fight people and remove whatever obstacle he found annoying and utterly undesirable.

After the incident, Zephyr began to enroll in combat classes, in order to master this newfound ability. He started slowly but quickly began to ascend within his class, as his interest grew higher every single day. Eventually, he started to participate in the school’s official matches and fought against his upperclassmen.

One specific match was the trigger that Zephyr was not a simple fighter. This fight had Zephyr against an upperclassman. However, during the fight, his eyes grew cold. He lost interest in the fight and wanted his opponent gone for good. He initially asked for him to leave, only to get laughed at by the entire crowd watching. As the fight continued, however, Zephyr began to assume a merciless position. Now that he had the power to hurt people, he used it at will, wishing for nothing else but the end of his opponent. And so he almost did. He drove his opponent to a state where his body was horribly hurt and almost truly killed him.

This pattern repeated itself every time Zephyr was placed to fight, eventually earning him the title “The Maestro of Sound and Souls” throughout the school. Even the teachers, albeit impressed, admitted that he was pretty dangerous. Not because of his power, but because of his attitude.

Now, in his 3rd year, Zephyr is one of the most popular, desired, and feared students in his school. He lives every day trying to find something interesting to have. That’s when a student, from another school, calls his attention.

Powers

Core: World Sound Control
Zephyr’s primary power is the ability to manipulate and control sound waves, whether these are his own or coming from external sources. This core power is what allows him to fight others transforming these soundwaves into shockwaves, and projectiles, as well as allowing him to freely select what he wishes to hear or not. Because using this power offensively can do so much damage on his hearing sensory, he fights using headphones.

First Power: Inputs to Your Song
Zephyr’s first power. He’s able to alter volume, pitch, echo, and many other factors regarding sound, making him a sort of living mixing table. This power is most used as a daily life ability since it serves little to no purpose in battle unless the strategy desperately calls for this ability in specific.

Second Power: From Melodious to Cacophonic
Zephyr’s second power, and his offensive attack. He’s able to gather whatever sound is present in the region and transform it into energy projectiles or waves to directly attack his opponents. Because it’s basically compressed sound, it releases an enormously disturbing noise once it connects to a physical object, this also happens if Zephyr’s attacks are canceled by others. However, while Zephyr is innately immune to this noise, he cannot choose who is going to be affected or not by it, meaning this attack can backfire against others if he’s fighting with a teammate or a squad.

Third Power: Hour of Eternal Silence
Zephyr’s third power. He’s able to infuse himself or someone else with a curse where no sound is made or heard whatsoever. This can be used both in daily life and in battle since it affects any kind of sound. True to its name, though, this curse can only withstand for one complete hour, no more or no less, and it’s the only power Zephyr possesses that cannot be canceled.

The Meitners were both driving the battlefield in their own ways. Regil, the youngest, held his position behind everyone as much as he could muster, trying to protect himself and the Queen from the Chinese Army's attacks. After all, her aura was bringing the Noble Arms a chance of victory. As for Regina, her continuous and offensive carnage in the skies was proving itself to be effective, even if she was leading one rogue aerial unit against many of them. Despite the risk of being an easy target to hit stacked against her and her soldiers, they braved the incoming assault as much as they could ever muster.

However, they weren't invincible, only human beings at the end of the day. Whether they were wielding Noble Arms or not, it didn't change the fact that we aren't talking about superheroes. Sure, the Arms themselves managed to make a very powerful impact on their natural aptitudes, but it didn't make them invincible. And what's worse, the Chinese Army kept coming at them without any sign of stopping. More and more reinforcements came over the sea, and it wasn't exactly possible for them to keep firm control of the battlefield without taking account of the next waves coming at them. It was almost as if their efforts were all to naught. But even so, both siblings were determined to win this.

(I can't shake the feeling this is all just the beginning of the fight. We're not even close to diminishing their forces, even though we're standing up just fine. But my focus can't waver, not right now.) Regil thought.

(I'll keep shooting, and shooting, and shooting. It doesn't matter who comes in my way. I am Regina Meitner, Specialist of the England Military Army. I'm not letting these Chinese bastards get the best of me.) Regina thought.

The arrival of another aerial squad allied to them from the clouds gave them a chance to breathe, though. It was a close call, but the aircrafts were being bombarded from left, right, up, down, back, and front. If these were fireworks, it'd definitely be a show to behold. However, it wasn't a celebration, so the explosions weren't beautiful, but ugly.

"Good, reinforcements! Now we can do some damage to those aircrafts!" Regil spoke, happy. The Queen kept shooting its lasers at the aircrafts, exploding them.

Regina's unit followed through as she and her soldiers kept firing rockets and hitting some of the aircrafts. The sudden stupor caused by the arrival of the aerial reinforcements made it better for them to keep on the offensive since the enemy now had something else to worry about.

"Specialist, more aerial reinforcements! Shall we join them?" The pilot asked.

"Of course not. Now those bastards will have another thing coming. But I'm not stupid enough to go into a jet fight with a helicopter." Regina answered.

"So we're landing to help Lord Regil, who's down there on the field?" Another soldier quickly pointed.

"... Yes. I think I need to give instructions to him since he's not following my words." She said.

The pilot obeyed, descending the copter from the airfield and landing it directly towards Regil's position.

"H-Huh? Is that...?" He spoke.

All of her squad got down from the copter, already armed. They stood right in front of Regil as Regina came to meet him.

*BGM fades away*

"S-Sister?!" Regil questioned, surprised.

"I told you to brace yourself, not to be lenient on the enemy. You're a Meitner, act like one." Regina spoke, coldly.

"The enemy's aerial unit is close to invading the city. If I didn't stop them now, they would've-" Regil tried to argue.

"Leave the air to me, my squad and to this other unit that just arrived. Focus on the ground, stat." Regina ordered.

"B-But if I stop attacking the air, they will-" Regil, once again, tried to argue.

"Regil, I didn't ask for your intel. Do as I tell you." Regina gave her final word.

"H-Hold on!! Regina, let me finish-" He tried to speak, but she already ended the transmission.

"Specialist, we await your orders!" The pilot spoke.

"We're taking advantage of the moment, because we're going to engage the enemy in all directions from down here!" She ordered.

"Roger that, Specialist!!" The pilot responded.

"Launchers, keep bombarding those bastards down! Snipers, I'm rejoining you! Kill the falling stragglers, aim for their vitals! And if you get the opportunity, pierce the windows with our bullets and kill them directly from inside the plane!" Regina ordered.

"Affirmative, sir!!" The soldiers responded in unison.

Regina once again grabbed a rifle and joined the snipers. She shot the falling stragglers in their heads, neck, lungs or heart, whatever was quicker to hit. With her attack, it wasn't just gunpowder raining down, but bodies started to fall from the sky too, at a faster rate than before.

Regil watched with horror as he finally got a glimpse of his sister as she invaded the air. But it wasn't just because of her seemingly merciless slaughter, but the war itself was taking a scheme that he couldn't believe. Even though it was the enemy, the soldiers were also humans losing their lives. Even though it was either him or them, this was a scenario that he always avoided to think.

(... I-I can't falter now. Regina's orders were sound. I have to help the others down here too.) He thought, still shocked.

He shifted his attention to the ground and ordered the Queen to shoot her lasers at the tanks instead.
