Major Ursa

State of Love (Vena Sera & Major Ursa)

Moor is officially the shortest character after this.

Jane A.

Tall for her age at five foot five inches.

Age: 13

Personality: An enthusiastic day dreamer, she thinks of alchemy as…erm…’magic’? She’s also a bit of a fangirl towards the alchemists made famous ‘that day’.

Brief Bio: Years after the events of FMA, her parents regaled her on the amazing feats of alchemy and heroism…in fact, she once met the Flame Alchemist when she was ten. Though he was blind, he was super cool and charming! A (messily) signed piece of paper hangs on her wall.
Since her childhood, she always thought that alchemy was a magic. In fact, her parents gave her a highly scientific manual on basic alchemy for her birthday to help her understand. She learned the basic skills, and did pretty well, but her beliefs never seemed to change. Now, at thirteen, she’s pretty great at alchemy…but still thinks it magic.

State of Love (Vena Sera & Major Ursa)

Alrighty then! Now, to choose between evil cosplaying loli type, or normal hopeful goof type...

State of Love (Vena Sera & Major Ursa)

No...well, are there any NPC character of note we want in this? Or, just wing it with the staff and the like?

The Very Last (Nallore & Major Ursa)

With humanity gone, machine kind has tried to find purpose in either renewing the world left behind, or with upgrading themselves to becoming as close to human like as possible. Within only two hundred years of humanity dying of the super virus, all machines have been upgraded with advanced enough AIs to give them basic enough sentience, and with superior humanoid machines having upgraded themselves to almost seamlessly emulate both human behaviour and movement.

Soon after, the most humanlike of machines ended up being appointed as the leaders of this new found society…admittedly, only due to being the most humanlike, garnering followers due to the innate programming that most would have towards following humans. Still, the centuries that followed, machines of middle to lower caste began to shut themselves down in droves, as they no longer found purpose in their own existence even with the world’s restoration half complete. No one can say for certain, but it with them following the upper caste fervently, their loss of human kind made them almost worship that which reminded them of it. The upper caste, at this point, had become too conceited to do more than upgrade the middle caste and forget about the lower caste…

Some ‘machines who care’ became entertainers, from reinacting menial to dramatic human behaviours, all in order to give some other machines reason to keep going on…this also started the upper caste partying/emulated reality televised programming revolution. Still, after much deliberation by some of the thoughtful upper caste, they brought out the only human left out of their suspended animation. This is both to boost the morale of the population, and to properly observe and see what humans have that the upper caste had yet to make or emulate.

Fennec

Appearance: Standing at approximately six foot even, the robot previously had clear casing for this entirety in order to display the unique jointing, flexing, movements of his internal workings…but an upgrade or two would see him add a more human appearance from the shoulders up, adding a truly friendly face to the robot.


Species/Race: Machine (Upper-middle caste upgrade android)

Occupation: Entertainer

Brief Bio: Originally part of a very simple project done by a student of robotics, Fennec was one of the original advance movement robots…in fact, the tagline for him was ‘Fennec can foxtrot better than you’, as one of the main things he was to do was to learn to dance with a human partner. During the time of humans, Fennec even won a few awards in actual dance competitions.

At that time, and even now, the robot outclassed all other competitions when it comes to fluid mobility. Still, what people saw was a dancing robot, but what people didn’t see was Fennec learning alongside his creator, instead of being programmed like most other machines. Still, the death of his creator was very traumatising, even for a basic AI robot. For a long time, Fennec remained without an upgrade, long after the death of his creator and the humans. The machine eventually allowed for certain upgrades after the first series of shut downs, and had a more human looking face installed to make himself look more friendly.

He’s one of the few excited about the prospect of a certain human being brought out of suspended animation.

Café des Amis

Appearance: A two floor, fully automated (internal building) café. The first floor is open to the outside tables and sidewalk, with floor to ceiling windows. The second floor has ceiling windows and a balcony garden. The hologram of Café des Amis’s master AI itself can change, and is even fully customisable to the customers…though the café preferring to go by ‘the Steward’ often causes machines to prefer to refer to it in masculine pronouns. Of course, holograms and more specifically…the AI of the Steward is unable to leave the area.
(I suppose you can choose the appearance of the AI, for this one if you want...)

Species/Race: Fully Automated Café (lower caste machine)

Occupation: Café

Brief Bio: Full automated years before the super virus, the full automated restaurant was one of a handful owned by an chain of expensive restaurants, to see if a café without staff would be a possibility. With the use of skilful mechanical arms, serving stations built into the walls and tables, import AI to custom service hologram features, and the classy interior decorum, the café was popular till the end of humanity. The café wouldn’t see the end of humanity, exactly, being shut down a month before the very end…only being activated a few centuries later for scripted entertainer, reinacting day to day activities for gods only knows reasons.

A Walk With Demons [Major Ursa & RBYDark]

No...? I usually prefer them, actually...

State of Love (Vena Sera & Major Ursa)

Moor

Short of height at five foot two inches, wearing a few of his usual injuries...

Age: 16

Personality: Cautious and quiet, reserved…always afraid of suddenly being hit, or otherwise, and doesn’t want to speak up and upset anyone.

Brief Bio: Even after all these years, some of the Ishvalan people were scattered across Amestris, even after the remainder came out of hiding years ago. Early on, Moor lived in a small refugee group with his parents…but an incident with the then corrupt Central police divided their even smaller group. His parents ended up fleeing the city with few others in desperation for their lives, while Moor and one other stayed hiding in the city. In Central, the capital of the country with scores of State Alchemists, one couldn’t help but pick up the foundations of alchemy here and there.

At age six, the curtain fell of the events of FMA, and the corrupt government was seized by the righteous. As a means of fixing past error, Ishvalans were gathered in numbers to finally be brought back to their holy land from long ago…though Moor had finally been reunited with his family, he had taken an interest in not only learning alchemy, but actually practising. This was looked down upon by his people’s general religious beliefs, though modern alchemy. Moor would be one of only a handful of Ishvalans staying in Amestris.

Even though it was acceptable for them to remain, as this was their home for years on end, some of the general population saw them as an unnatural presence in an already much suffering country. Living off on provided housing and reparation money coming from the renewed Central government, they were looked down upon or straight up abused. As one of the few children staying behind, Moor was taken in by a sort of foster carer, though the woman only saw fit to beat him when stressed. Over time, Moor has lived with different people, lived in different provided housing, and met the confusing triad of cruel life, cautious life, and kind life.

Though life kept turning in unexpected ways, the growing boy never lost his interest in alchemy, studying it in his spare time and considering the possibility of becoming a respected, untouchable State Alchemist.

Fern Hoffman

Stands at five foot eight inches, with one of her leg (below the knee down) being automail. She actually paid an alchemist to turn her hair pink...she pierced her own ears, though.

Age: 19

Personality: Tough, stubborn, and a little bit rude and overbearing…a little bit pervy at times, but that’s fine.

Brief Bio: Early in life, Fern lived far out on the countryside of Amestris with her single father and two older brothers, working a family tailoring business. Since the countryside was either small town or very distance housing, they only ever had enough money made. There was an accident on the road, during a delivery, and Fern ended up having to have what was left of her left leg amputated and replaced with automail. Her father eventually relocated them to a bigger town to set up shop to make more money to pay off the automail and procedure, and though her two brothers eventually left, Fern stayed and continued working for the family business.

In this ‘bigger’ town, Fern met her first alchemist…and was fascinated. Instantly dying clothes whole new colours, repairing tears, improving materials. Sure, this this individual wanted to, surely they could have put the humble tailoring business into the poor house. They didn’t, as there were some basic ethics attached to not only being a State Alchemist, but an alchemist in general. Impressed by this, and yet…

Fern decided that she had to learn more about using alchemy for conveniences, even if she didn’t become a State Alchemist herself. The young woman may have joined the academy earlier, if she hadn’t been spending the past few years saving up for such an education.

A Walk With Demons [Major Ursa & RBYDark]

Alright...I'll properly get to work on the CS now that the guild seems up and relatively stable.
