Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

  • Name: Maria Lupei (or so she's said)
  • Villain Name: The Undying Silence
  • Age: Medieval
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: See the below: Maria doesn't have the armour on. The underlying oufit's more or less the same, but it turns out that the leather isn't actually boots, leaving her barefoot.
  • Personality: Quiet. Dead quiet. It's a somewhat understandable personality trait when you're unable to actually speak, though it seems to apply in general despite her other methods of communicating. Most people understandably do not want to speak with Maria, since she's gloomy enough to bring most people down. Though apathetic, she seems to generally move between trying to find some way to actually die, trying to find--or create--other people that could empathise with her situation, picking fights just for the excitement, and occasionally helping out with strong enough monsters because a blasted wasteland would be boring.
    When not busy finding some new way to be a problem, Maria seems to like volunteering to help children and often goes to church. Unsurprisingly, people often reject her attempts to volunteer.
  • Equipment: Maria's equipment boils down to, essentially, what she's wearing. The clothing is naturally just clothing, but the armour--even nowadays--ranks amongst the most durable materials to have ever been created, as does the sword. Through some strange mechanism (something that several scientists have longed to investigate... not that they can get it off her) all of her armament can condense into a single ring or back again as the mood takes her.
  • Abilities: The Undying: An ability that has gained some notorious discussion amongst fans of the supernatural, Maria's ability has sometimes been theorised to be an Esper ability that, in its highly specific way, could be compared to the Disintegrator. Others have assigned it to outside influence, and every now and then magic comes up. Regardless of its origin, the ability's effects are clear: she won't die. A few medical checks have concluded that, in every meaningful way, Maria is a literal corpse except when she particularly wants to use some function (like the digestive system). Despite this, she's quite clearly still functioning.
    It seems to extend beyond simply ignoring necessary functioning, as the knight will always pull herself together... literally. One way or another, her body and everything on it at her time of 'death' are linked. Whilst it might take time for the parts to dissolve, return to the main body, and reattach, they'll do so one way or another. Funnily enough, it makes more destructive methods of attack easier to heal, since they're already in parts--though nothing compares to just grabbing the removed part and sticking it where it belongs.
    The sole offensive application of this ability lies in ignoring every limit the body has. What does Maria care if her body tears itself to pieces with every movement? It'll be promptly fixed.
  • Skills: Maria claims to be the greatest swordsman to walk the Earth. Given her wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to cut bullets out of the air in rapid succession, it's a claim worth some merit--it's incredibly rare that someone applying nothing more than horrifically developed athletic ability and a blade can rank in the upper echelons of supervillainy (or heroism).
    What's definitely not contested is her ability to write quickly. She won a race against a printer.
  • Brief Backstory: A long time ago, in a land far away (from the perspective of Japan), a young knight died and yet 'he' managed to continue acting over the years. Eventually, his sibling and imposter also died... yet at the same time kept going, still speaking to nobody. It wasn't long after that she acquired her current equipment, and for centuries she's been trying to find some meaning in apparently eternal life or trying to end it. Both of which are hard to reconcile with her religious beliefs, but she's got to do something.

I feel overly experienced all of a sudden.
Yoshikawa Miu


The smaller of the two mages was rather confused at Kana's surprise that the restaurant was so busy. Why wouldn't it be? If it was actually a good place to get food, then the early evening was going to be a great time to do business. It seemed like she'd been here before, though. Much like the charmer, Miu looked around for the proprietor and found them. Exactly like her, Miu took note of the redhead. Asami wasn't interesting because of any suspicion, however, but because the older mage had seen her before.

"Order for me, I don't mind," she said, walking over towards the pair and watching for a second. She'd definitely seen the girl, though not spoken to her, whilst at the Tower for various rather dull reasons. It was the other one of the sisters that she'd ever had cause to speak with, however.

Miu switched to English--English plainly without a Japanese accent, instead sounding perfectly suitable for a news broadcast... sixty years ago, "Asami Ando, I presume? Once we both have food, there are some business matters I would like to speak to you about."
Alice Marlowe


The Beach

The white-haired woman looked at her apparent captive, none too impressed. She'd already demonstrated at the start of the battle that her hair was like a metal cable if it had to be and yet the attempt to stop it... was the same thing that had already failed, plus fire. Well, the fire could have been effective--there was certainly burning hair now--if she didn't have the ability to keep growing it. The parts that weren't on fire twisted around Irene, holding her in place, whilst one of the flaming offshoots turned back to light the cigarette Alice had fished from a pocket.

"Non-fatal injuries are an appropriate use of force to stop someone clearly out of their mind," she countered, then looked over at Radical X, "You might want to go back to the beach and see if that's finished yet. I'll call someone to pick this idiot up."

@Xiphonic@deanmachin
Current esper count! probably three.
@VitaVitaAR
Okay then, give me some time to figure something out for the post.


My advice would be that moving away from a point will not avoid being attacked from all sides.
@deanmachin
How does he see her? She is using a Rune for invisibility, no distortions or anything. She is standing still doing nothing. The only thing that may give away the position is a dent in the sand where she is standing, and that dent is no larger than any of the lower points on the beach.


I think the bigger issue is replying to a post when what the character's done might not even be acceptable.

... also, if I replied, Irene would still be stabbed, so... better to wait for GM rulings.
@Jay Kalton@VitaVitaAR Looks like Asami's getting company. xD
Yoshikawa Miu


"Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to accompany me," Miu replied, bowing slightly and--as would have been expected--missing the startled reaction to her equipment. Ramen, huh? She'd never actually had the proper stuff, but it wasn't like Kana was suggesting pickled sheep brains or fermented shark or the many other bizarre dishes that the white-haired mage wanted nothing to do with. A better version of those terrible boil-in-a-pot snacks couldn't be that bad, either...

Patiently, the war's most powerful magic user waited for her unknown competitor to lead the way.
