Kishinami Hakuno

"...Please go easy on them..." Hakuno murmured with a worried smile. She couldn't exactly deny that Saber's cooking was far superior to any fast-food place - or, well, any establishment that sold food - but she almost felt bad for the poor cooks that would face her brutally honest criticism. Perhaps it could simply be seen a a necessary sacrifice in the name of hunting evildoers! Yeah, that made it slightly more worth it. Probably. Maybe.

Well, they were already outside the restaurant, so it was a little late to suggest lunch at home instead. Hakuno glanced at her diminutive Servant, and noticed that the bird in her hat seemed distracted by something. The young magus couldn't remember the sparrow ever looking so intently at anything, and followed its gaze to the source. Hakuno found her breathe catching, taken-aback by the sheer beauty of the stranger before them. Hakuno considered herself a pure soul, devoid of any lecherous, suspicious or even curious thoughts about others. As her frequently-cleaned search history could obviously attest to, she was a person of great moral standing, and even she had to admit that there was something to that black-haired beauty.

Of course, Benienma was still the absolute cutest Servant in the universe, but still!

When Hakuno realised she'd just been standing around like an idiot for several moments, she awkwardly coughed and stepped aside, avoiding the woman's gaze, "S-sorry, you can go on ahead."

Berserker - Guan Yu

"It's only a light training regiment..." Berserker weakly countered, shoulders sagging. She glanced towards the TV, wondering if these cookery programs held some kind of hidden hypnotising spell. How else could those devices ensnare so many helpless humans in their grasp? True, all that food looked divine compared to what Guan usually ate in life, but none of it was real, right?! It was all just fake images on the other side of a screen! It was surely meaningless unless her Master cooked it for herself!

Berserker pondered over this issue for a few moments. Luring her Master outside was proving to be virtually impossible... oh, but what if she just reversed it? If Hana was so eager to just lie on her couch all day, then Guan would make sure she worked for that privilege!

"Excuse me for a moment, Master," Guan retreated from the room, collecting various items into a bag. A couple bottles of water, shoes, and a few towels should do the trick! Smiling, the dutiful Servant approached her Master once more, and without missing a beat, hoisted the girl over her shoulder, heading for the door.

"You should earn the right to laze around, Master! Besides, think of all the fun you'll be missing out there~!"

It was for her Master's own good, so it was okay, right? Maybe they could stop for something to eat if it would sweeten the deal.

Kishinami Hakunon

Hmm..." Hakuno slumped her shoulders dejectedly, "even if I don't look all that convincing, there's always someone that'll go for an easy mark! It's like I'm not even worth wasting the useless mook for..."

As eager as Hakuno was to help in removing any kind of corruption from Fusang's streets, it was quite evident that most of her knowledge regarding criminal investigation came from fiction. Sure, the CCF had offered training and guidance on how to patrol, identify possible criminal activity, and how best to engage... but the young mage's buddy cop partner was also an adorable, strong, fast, cute, tiny, lovely, kind-hearted, wonderful, mighty, wise and soft-to-hug Servant with abilities beyond mere mortals! Surely it could be forgiven if Hakuno wanted to just find the first link to the Mystic Code sellers and zoom right to the final boss from there!

"...I guess we should try a different strategy, though," Hakuno eventually sighed in defeat, removing the hat. Shaking her head to let her tussled hair sway, the young girl stepped out of the alley, "wanna grab some food somewhere? If we're lucky, we might overhear some suspicious dealings next to our table or something!"

-----------------

Berserker - Guan Yu

Really, Berserker was thankful to be summoned into the modern day. It was a chance that, in her mind, really should not be granted to someone like her. After all, she was hardly a heroic figure worthy of acclaim. She was barely a footnote in the legend of another, at best. She may have held some regret in her heart when she died, but that alone was not worth calling her back over someone like her Father. Nevertheless, here she was, in a modern city apartment, currently enjoying her new life to the fullest!

"Masteeerrrrr! Come ooonnnnn, you need to get some fresh air!"

Pouting at the girl on the couch, the black-haired Servant stared pleadingly at the girl that had summoned her. Ever since she had answered the call, Saotome Hana had barely set foot outside their residence. In fact, she barely moved around the apartment! Having grown up in turbulent times, even being a non-combatant, Lady Guan simply could not comprehend existing in such a way! There was much she didn't yet understand about her Master, but surely there was no reason for her to laze around like an extra-adorable sloth! Even if it wasn't Berserker's place to say, she couldn't stay quiet about this attitude!

"Let's go for a run, Master! Running's fun! Once you gallop across the plains like Red Hare, the feel of the wind across your skin becomes a blissful sensation that you crave more and more! Please give it a try..."

Kishinami Hakuno

She couldn't figure out what part of her plan was flawed.

Situated between two buildings, partially obscured by the shadows, a lone figure leaned against the wall, arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently on the ground. She had been there for about twenty minutes, clearly having expecting something to have occurred by now. the figure with flowing, brown hair and the most forgettable blouse ever designed had made sure to look like an appealing target for shady, black market salesmen! The white baseball was sitting backwards! That was, like, a true symbol of rebelliousness and... and troublemakery! So why weren't those con artists eager to sell her crap?!

Could it be that they knew Hakuno was actually a member of the CCF? A defender of justice and peace? Perhaps she simply chose the wrong alley to loiter in? Did con artists take lunch breaks? Hakuno exhaled deeply, shoulders slumping. She was desperate to find any kind of plausible, but it probably boiled down to one simple reason: She just couldn't manage to stand out, even when she was the only person around to notice.

"Haaahhh... And I thought this'd be super easy..." Hakuno grumbled to thin air, "who would've thought Mystic Codes were this hard to track down?"

Of course, the unassuming young mage was hardly going to tackle a black market by herself, especially when she was so lacking in firepower - and perhaps some common sense. Her complaints had been directed to her Saber-class Servant, who had been asked to remain hidden until now. It seemed quite unnecessary for Benienma to continue hiding at this point.

Behold, a squirrel

• Name: Kishinami Hakuno
• Age: 17
• Appearance: Just look at how plain she is!
• Personality:
  A friendly girl with a habit of not really leaving much of an impression, despite her efforts at times. Although tending towards being quiet and keeping to herself, Hakuno is always willing to lend a hand to others. This has led to her being a bit of a doormat when she was younger, however, and has been trying to change that part of herself. It's extremely difficult however - who wouldn't want to help out a fellow student had definitely skipped homework for super important reasons?!
  
  Hakuno's tendency to help in any capacity she can seems to stem from her lack of self-worth; as a mage, she falls far below the standards of her family, who were already middling to begin with. While she tries not to pay it too much mind, any setbacks to her progress can hit her pretty hard, and perhaps lead to over-zealousness. At least her time in Fusang seems to have awakened a passion for policing the streets.

• Abilities:
  Element: Air - Like most of her family, Hakuno has an affinity for the Air element. Unlike most of her family, she isn't too well-versed in anything but the most basic of spells. Fortunately(-ish), her family's true specialisation hasn't escaped her grasp.
  Invoked Censor - This ability is a masking spell, of sorts. It doesn't make her invisible, just so thoroughly unremarkable and forgettable that you subconsciously erase her face from memory immediately after seeing her. This effect only strengthens in larger crowds, though Hakuno lacks the skill and expertise to properly combat any spying tactics that could see through her spell. Stronger magi could also potentially see through the trickery in a short amount of time, as well.

• History:
  As a magus, Hakuno was quite the disappointment when growing up. Her abilities were severely lacking in almost all areas, and progress was slow at best in regards to development. When she was fourteen, it was decided she'd be sent to Fusang for 'higher-quality tutelage'... Hakuno knew it was just a desperate bid to get some use out of her abilities as a magus. It was rather fortunate she had the aptitude to be a Master after all, and during her time in the city, has been able to find interests outside of fruitless training in magecraft, to the point she's become a volunteer enforcer. A duty she takes seriously enough to practice Justice Poses before a mirror in secrecy.

• Other: No weird memory disease shenanigans going on here. Maybe.

Berserker

• Name: "Guan Yu" (Lady Guan)
• Class: Berserker
• Appearance: Guan in casual wear
• Personality: In what is perhaps rather unexpected for someone claiming to be Guan Yu, Berserker is rather soft-spoken and kindly, a far cry from the thundering war god (s)he should be. Her nature is charitable and accommodating, always happy to help out with a smile. Her demeanour is generally upbeat, doing her best not to look down, especially in front of her Master. Although she finds it to be improper conduct, she is also a *huge* martial arts fan. If she could, she would get the personification of martial arts itself to sign her an autograph.
  
  Thanks to her manifestation as a Berserker, however, her normally reserved anger is quicker to boil to the surface, especially if one lightly broaches the subject of her father. It is recommended to not bring him up at all, even in sympathy - it may surface a memory that will end in a rampage and costly repairs to the neighbourhood.
  That said, she is a proud daughter of the mighty warrior, and a slight against any of her family will not be allowed to slide. She does not consider herself much of a warrior, but Lady Guan will gladly fight for their sake, or her Master's.

• Stats:
• Strength: C+
• Endurance: C+
• Agility: A
• Mana: E
• Luck: D
• Noble Phantasm: C+

• Class Skills:
• Mad Enhancement - C: Increases Strength and Endurance parameters when active.

• Personal Skills:
• War God's Wrath - B: A skill that unnerves those that recognise the might of Guan Yu, negating positive status effects of lower Rank, and decreasing the effectiveness of buffs at an equal rank to this skill.
• Innocent Monster - E: As the origin of the myth regarding Guan Yu's vengeful spirit, minor alterations occur under specific conditions. When Lady Guan is truly angered, her surrounding air chills, layers of frost covering her armour and icy spikes protruding from it. This also happens to strengthen her Noble Phantasm, given the change in temperature in her immediate vicinity.
• Battle Continuation - D: Being the 'vengeful spirit' of Guan Yu, Berserker is able to ignore serious injuries in battle, but is only active when under the effect of Mad Enhancement.

• Noble Phantasm(s):
• Name: Frost Fair Blade ~ Blood Soaked Green Dragon
• Rank: C
• Type: Anti-Unit
• Appearance: The guandao's base appearance. When manifested as the Frost Fair Blade, it can no longer rapidly grow scales due to its new frozen properties. The weapon is also coated in blood due to the frost.
• Effects: The frosty blade of the guandao will actively seek blood to soak within, increasing in power as more is splattered upon the weapon. Once enough blood has accrued, invoking the weapon's name will allow Guan to manipulate that blood - lancing towards an enemy, the blood freezing almost instantaneously, creating any icy spear that can approach terrifying range. Alternatively, Guan can have the blood shoot off in random directions all around her, the frozen blood slicing through objects and enemies all around her. Once this effect is used, more blood must be spilled to 'refuel'.
  Additionally, the blade becomes stronger in colder environments, even capable of striking unlucky foes down with frostbite. It still retains its weakness to dragonslayers, unfortunately.

• Name: War God's Armament
• Rank: A
• Type: Anti-Unit (self)
• Appearance: A steel helmet similar to what was available to generals at the time, with an additional steel mask that obscure her upper face. When donning this helmet, Guan's hair is also worn to flow from the lower half of the helmet, tied be neath her chin to simulate a beard.
• Effects: A helmet that obscures Lady Guan's features, making others see her as the imposing, powerful "Guan Yu", or at least as a terrifyingly powerful individual, if they have not yet recognised her 'true name'. Even though discrepancies can be observed, attempts to perceive the truth will only lead to rationalising Lady Guan as the genuine article. This applies even when her 'real' identity is already known.

• Alignment: Lawful Good
• Changes: Lady Guan is a bit of an odd case, as she doesn't fully qualify by herself to be a servant, and instead piggybacks off of Guan Yu's own summoning in very rare cases. As the source of the myth behind Yu's spirit appearing before, or even killing soldiers of the Wu kingdom, she can manifest in his place as Berserker. As her true name has been lost to history however, she is effectively "Guan Yu" for all intents and purposes, though she doesn't mind being given a new name by her Master.

Akari

@Pyromania99

Her attention diverted away from that unnverving mask, Akari found that the nun was speaking to her now. Compared to a moment ago, she seemed a lot gentler, closer to how one would expect a Sister to look. The headpatting was a surprise, but not altogether unwelcome. If it were a shady guy in real life, such an act would have been unforgivable, but in a game where it was a nice (probably?) lady expressing adoration for the cute avatar before her, the rules were very different!

"Nice to meet ya!" Akari raised her hands, bringing her thumbs together with her middle and ring fingers to pose with a bright smile, "Name's Akari! I'll take ya up on that offer, Mira-san! ...Oh, one thing though!"
Folding her arms, Akari swayed her fluffy tail behind her with a proud smirk, "I'm not a kitsune! I'm a foxy beastman! Beastlady? Anyways, we're as different as, uh... foxes... and... not-foxes. Let's go with jackals. We're as similar as foxes and jackals!"

Not that Hikari in real life knew of any real differences between the two. Kitsune got more tails, probably? But all of those tails would totally get in the way of her playstyle, so fox beastmen were obviously superior!

Visions of Elysium—A Non-Isekai VRMMO RP (Now Open!)

Akarin

Swinging around treetops and flying through the air was super fun. In a world that already granted you immense freedom of movement, getting to soar through the air and experience the thrill of free-falling was a wonderful sensation not readily available in real life. If Akarin could, she would spend every moment in Elysium arcing through the sky!

Unfortunately, she was still pretty terrible at properly utilising her chains for such a task. Also, it was annoyingly difficult to find suitable locations to do so - indoor dungeons or whatever were too cramped, and areas outside were not the most reliable for swinging points. Also, for reasons totally not her own fault, sometimes her spearheads failed to stick to anything and she'd end up plummeting onto her face. Akarin was the exact opposite of an experienced gamer, and perhaps even less experienced when it came to properly taking responsibility, so she had managed to figure out it was most definitely the game's fault for those shortcomings.

She found herself wandering the marketplace on the advice of some other players, suggesting she might need to 'upgrade' her stuff. That was a tad annoying if true, but it wasn't like she wouldn't be able to afford it, right? Let's see, they'd named a certain shop that seemed to sell decently strong stuff, though Akarin had missed the hesitant tone that accompanied that suggestion. Oh, that was it, right? Ifrit's Hammer!

It already seemed a little busy when she arrived, peering through the doorway to find several others inside. If it was this lively, that could only mean their goods and services were in high demand, right?! Even if she had to wait a bit, Akarin didn't mind doing some window-shopping in the meantime.

"S'cuse me~" Akarin give a cheerful little apology as she slipped past the tall witch-looking girl. Sometimes it amazed the fox just how... varied the inhabitants were. Well, the players at any rate. It was rare to see two people with a vaguely similar style. Her eyes wandered to the nun that seemed ready to beat someone up, and that would have been fun to see, but...

"Geh?"

What the hell was that freaky looking mask over there?!

Akarin the Fluffy

• IGN: Akarin
• Age: 17
• Race: Beastman (fox)
• Racial Passive:
  Bonus stats to DEX and AGI
• Appearance: The self-proclaimed cutest fox in Elysium. Stands at exactly five feet tall.
• Personality: In-game, Akarin is a boundlessly cheerful and exuberant girl, able to find joy in even the simplest of actions within Elysium. She enjoys exploration, she loves interaction, she can even take great pleasure in battling the variety of monsters within the world. With her around, it's difficult to ever feel down or discouraged... up until you realise she isn't actually helpful in any meaningful way, but still.
  
  Generally pleasant and uplifting to other players, Akarin can be seen as rather selfless and kind, despite her faults. While it's true she isn't looking to grief anyone in the game, she isn't above buttering up stronger players in order to obtain their help in acquiring bothersome drops or completing more tedious quests for her. Expect your reward to be the privilege of touching her tail for five seconds.
  
  Akarin, or Yamada Hikari in real life, is a somewhat bratty rich kid that's used to getting whatever she wants. Although she doesn't go out of her way to mock others, she seems inherently haughty by nature, believing herself to be that much more important than the average person. To some extent, this spreads to her in-game personality too, where too much frustration can lead to rather OOC outbursts. Generally, she does her best to keep real life and Elysium separate. It'd be weird if her friends and admirers knew she was into roleplaying in VR games, after all.
• History: Hikari, growing up, had become very much used to buying anything she ever wanted on a whim, and always quickly grew bored of any toys or products she obtained in favour of the next cool or cute thing. At school, she did decently enough to move on, surrounding herself with a series of shallow friendships, more predicated on her ability to buy their attention than anything. Hikari didn't think of that is an issue in itself, but over the years, found herself less and less willing to share her interests with others. Despite her company and status as a 'popular' girl, she's become a bit of a loner.
  Having never really bothered too much with the several consoles she'd bought over the years, getting a VR system was just another purchase made on a whim for the sake of impressing her following, and picked up Elysium without really thinking about it. When she gave the game a try, however, Hikari found she just didn't want to stop playing.
  Since release, 'Akarin' has built herself up as a separate entity from Hikari, having tons of fun messing around in the game, having no real clue how to effectively fight, but who cared? Auto systems aside, there was so much to do and experience...
• Skills:
  Latch - Long range, is used to pull an opponent into at least mid-range. Pitiful damage.
  Blade Circlet - Mid range, Akarin spins in place, letting her chains extend and cut opponents. Extra damage if the spearheads connect.
  Deadly Gouge - Mid range, Akarin dodges to the side, then lunges a spearhead to the enemy. Can Embed into an enemy.
  Spiral Cut - Short range, Akarin leaps into the air to evade an attack, then strike back with a twirl and a stab.
• Equipment:
  Piercing Chains - a DEX-based weapon that requires some skill to wield manually. A long chain with two spearheads, it is made for mid-range combat, enabling some evasion-based attacks for extra skill. 'Embed' is a trait that can treat most monsters as a latching point.
  "Academic Slayer" Costume Pack - A costume loosely based on a school uniform. Only gives a single point to each stat, but Akarin was more taken with how much cuter it made her look.
• Other: In the right environment, she can use her weapons to traverse the area! So it's not too great in open meadows or the like, but lots of fun in forests or spacious hallways.
