Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

Nakajima Ageha

Nakajima Ageha

Appearance:
Stands at 5'7". Lithe, athletic build, narrow bust. Long black hair, pale skin, and a baleful glare. Gives off harsh vibes as one would expect of a noble.

Age:
192

Squad/Rank:
Squad Ten/Unseated

Biography:
Born into the lower noble house of the Nakajima family, Ageha was raised from birth with severe expectations once her Reiatsu was sensed. The Nakajima clan had long sought glory of its own, as its heyday had long passed, with only middling Shinigami being admitted to the ranks of the Gotei from their family for generations. With this in mind, the family's latest scion was given harsh training in combat, politics, and administration practically since she could walk.

While Ageha met every expectation placed upon her, it wasn't without cost. Years of nothing but brutal instruction and relentless expectations with little in the way of proper familial support or affection rendered Ageha cold, spiteful, and hard. She entered Shin'o Academy with this mindset, making few friends, more than a few enemies, and excelling in Zanjutsu in particular.

Ageha graduated, pleasing her family. But unbeknowst to them, she'd long since decided to go her own way. The instant she left the Academy, all contact from her ceased. Restoring the glory of the Nakajima clan meant nothing to her. Not after what they had put her through. It had worked, to be certain. But that wasn't her problem. She'd find her own purpose. And she'd find it within the Gotei. There wasn't anywhere else for her to go, and frankly, she did enjoy actually utilizing the abilities she'd spent so long honing.

Squad Interests:

• Eleventh
• Second
• Ninth

Relationships:

• Yuto: Dumb muscle. Good for a spar, and he's refreshingly blunt, but that's about all he's useful for. That, and him being somehow worse than her at Kido makes Ageha feel better about herself.
• Kobe Abiko: Practically an infant, considering he's fresh in from the world of the living. It's for that reason alone that Ageha took pity on him and gave him some pointers when he seemed lost. At least he knows to make an effort.
• Asami: Annoying little bitch. Ageha can respect that she's good at what she does, but otherwise, the two are too similar in outward personality to do anything but clash against each other.

Final Fantasy: Lightseekers

Cid's face ran through a gamut of emotions at Eve's words. Anger, concern, sympathy, all shown in turn before he eventually nodded.

"I was aware of this possibility. It certainly explains why I felt Bahamut's essence up above earlier. To create life unbidden by the order of the Mother and the Seven is a sin, but the beings artificed from such sin do not inherit it. Lest they choose to do so, of course. To be as you are is no crime, girl. You did not choose to inherit the Dreadwyrm's essence. However," He closed his eyes briefly, shaking his head.

"My magics detected no trace of Odin's power. Whatever it is you faced, it has naught to do with the Eidolons."

"Undead." Izayoi cut in, her gaze far off. "It must be. I killed him. I buried him."

"A soulless affront to Etro's order." Cid's expression darkened. "Regardless, we will cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, we return to the matter at hand." His gaze swept out over the party, softening slightly at Rudolf's troubled expression, though he said nothing further to him for now. Instead, Cid slumped slightly, his age showing.

"Four elemental crystals across the continent channel the light of the gods and convert it to the flow of elemental aether that balances and regulates nature. Water in Drana Asaneu flows to nourish the land. Wind in Skael carries the seeds of life wheresoever it blows. Earth in Edren cultivates and shelters that life. Fire in Osprey brings about cleansing destruction so that new life is free to flourish."

"Valheim cannot be allowed to seize the crystals. Here in Osprey, the Crystal of Fire is already lost to their clutches. For the moment, you must travel to each crystal in the other nations and ensure that they do not fall to darkness and Blight. Be warned, however: each elemental crystal has a guardian. Judging by their charges' corruption, they may also become equally as Blighted. Should that be the case, you must slay them. The Fire Crystal's guardian is...already lost to us." Cid shook his head mournfully at that before steeling himself.

"I would advise caution. Valheim knows of the importance of the crystals as well, and will surely send their forces to seize them. Now," He rose, supporting himself up to his feet with his staff. "That is all the guidance I possess to provide for the moment. From this point onward, the rest is up to you. Though I can speed your way to the surface-"

WHAM.

The doors of the cathedral slammed open, revealing the Revenant, sword in hand. Cid's eyes widened in alarm, and he brandished his staff aloft with one hand.

"Abomination! You will not pass one step further into sacred ground!" He slammed the butt of his staff onto the floor, and firey aether welled up around him. "By covenant, by binding, I call upon flame and fury! Lord of hellfire! I summon thee, come, Ifrit!"

A horned, demonic beast emerged in a burst of flame, roaring in savage fury at the Revenant. Izayoi moved to draw her sword as well, but froze as she saw a magic glyph emerge into existence below not just herself, but every single Kirin as well.

"What...?"

"Fly, all of you! You are in no condition to face a foe of this magnitude!" Cid bellowed back in the direction of the party, gesturing Ifrit forward to lunge towards the armored titan. "You are this continent's first and final hope! I will not see you lost!"

Izayoi snarled in fury as the teleport circles began to activate, Ifrit's fist bearing down all the while. The last thing any Kirin saw before the world faded into a flash of white was the Revenant dashing past and inside Ifrit's attack range to deliver a slash that sent the Eidolon of flame crashing back among the pews of the cathedral, Cid gritting his teeth in determination all the while.

___

When the Kirins next opened their eyes, they found themselves back on the surface, the ruins of the village barely on the horizon. In comparison, the airship supporting the Revenant was but a speck in their eyes. Too far away to have any chance of making it back for an assault from the party before night fell or it left the area.

Izayoi regained her bearings, looking around with her expression still furious for but a few moments before she seemed to deflate, weary and still barely able to stand.

"I suppose you have questions for myself specifically." She looked back toward the others, exhausted. "Considering what we were just told...I require time to marshal my own thoughts. Once we make camp, I will provide what I know of," Her breath caught slightly, and she turned away. "Him."

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

@Expllo For attributes, I'm assuming that characters start off defaulting to average and can move them around in that category? Also a bit confused at how novice/average/good doesn't line up with unseated/seated/lieutenant/captain in the ability list.

The Envenomed: Military Science Fiction Deniable Operations

Salvator Rasch

Salvator looked over the data-spool intently, committing as much of the mission data to memory as he could. Based on what the intel stated...this was going to be a close-quarters nightmare. Investigating a half-trashed space wreck? One of this size? It'd be nothing but endless corners and tight cover all the way inside. The purple ethereal disturbances on the holograph very much weren't helping his tactical analysis of the situation. As if the tight quarters weren't bad enough, especially considering the bulk of some of their best operators, there was ethereal interference to deal with as well?

God in the Void, this was going to be a shitfest. Salvator let his face fall into a frown beneath his sealed mask, very much not looking forward to this mission at all. Nonetheless, he had his duty. They all had their duty, unwilling and reticient as some among the squad might be. And wasn't that something that they just didn't have the time to sort out? Just another day in the life.

"Do we have any preliminary readings of the ethereal disturbances past the fact that they exist? Doesn't bode well that the station's natives are avoiding them." Salvator inquired after the floor was opened, nodding his head towards the holograph readout. "Furthermore, what's our criteria for objective completion? Are we to retrieve the research vessels' data, or just confirm their existence?"

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

@Psyker Landshark between our characters, I'd assume they're familiar with each other as classmates. Kobe would have even asked Ageha for pointers and notes on more than one occasion considering how much of a prodigy she is. Kobe would be the type to make an effort, and contribute during class. Maybe the fact that he was actually correct often would cause Ageha to humor his questions? He might respect her talent and she might respect his effort, leading to a professional relationship now and a friendship later on in the roleplay?

@RoseKnightJason

Yeah all of this sounds fine. Ageha isn't so much a prodigy as just someone who's had a pretty severe head start basically.

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

@Expllo Doing a balance pass on the stuff I made real quick, you think it'd be fine to lower the cooldown on both listed abilities by a turn for Ageha since they're not so much attacks as just changes in combat versatility?

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

Alright, in any case, I'm open to making preestablished relationships with other characters for Ageha. Can shoot me a PM or do it in here.

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

Lady Safina Haliel

Irritating. So the elves may have had an idea of what Safina did. That, or they assumed she had a role as some sort of an enforcer. Regardless, Safina doubted her so-called kin knew too much of her true role, but it didn't hurt to be cautious in this regard. If they did know she was an assassin of all things, she doubted their ambassador would be speaking quite so candidly.

"Oh, a handful." Safina played the question off, as if there was no real secret. Let the irritating woman make of that what she wished. "Her Majesty affords me a soldier here or there when there are small tasks that require accomplishing outside of her other servants' purview."

She couldn't quash the whispers around court that Evelyn favored her because she was directly under her command, so why not take advantage of them instead? Play into the lesser rumors, so that they didn't go out of control into larger ones. Always control the narrative. And speaking of...

Safina allowed herself to show her interest in Duke Willowsteel's imminent arrest and imprisonment. After all, she was the one who'd brought the matter up in the first place. It only made sense. She'd have words with that one later.

"Tis an unfortunate turn of events to have the gala be so...marred by these proceedings. Fortunate how I doubt you'll miss him, considering his beliefs, yes?"

@Estylwen

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

So I'm assuming all our characters came up through the academy in the same year, so preestablished relationships are a thing, right?
