I might need more info on that. What's happening at either place and whose characters are at what so I know whose posts to read? I'm assuming I will be required to invent a reason why my character, part of an extremist group, has shown up to any of the locations.
Hm. Appears Reaper is pretty busy with stuff, probably gonna be difficult to get a post out of him then. Just need Mai to post then I can update both at once.
The Broodlings were going to be a rather simple task. This... Princess? Brood Princess? If Silitha is Queen. Either way it did not seem intent to stand by while it's children swarmed Wrath. The mutated Broodmother began to glow with a blue-purple energy before spewing a small barrage of webbing like bullets, before crawling backwards up the wall, it seems intent on resuming this style of attack. Meanwhile some of the broodlings began to encircle Wrath, while a main force rushed him from the front. There was a lot to contend with, but based on it's need to move up the wall, it was not that advanced yet. This may still be a bit of a challenge with the seemingly endless swarm of Broodlings.
As the unlikely pair reluctantly accompanied one another down the somewhat hidden path, they found themselves stepping down a stairwell, in the middle of the jungle, leading them to a long tunnel. Large, spacious, it was strewn with dead angels, feathers everywhere and destroyed armor. There was nothing on the other end, but they can be sure whoever or whatever did this had gone through here. Likely a demon, so whatever they were going to see on the other end was such. As soon as they emerged they could see the site of a battle, scattered all about, they seemed to have found the hot-spot, somewhere near or on the No-Man's Land of this battle. They could even hear the bedlam of screeches and clanging and gnashing of weapons and flesh halfway through the tunnel.
However what was more to their interest was the great structure near the end, they seemed to be fighting over entry to that mostly. So likely something relevant to them was in there, however they had a battlefield to cross.
The straight path that was obvious to them was also right through the middle, it's likely they'll have to get into a fight that way unless they had some plan cross it in a flash, or they can take a detour through the jungle and sneak around, this was of course to reach that building. There was another path that led in another direction, a detour, but that would mean forgoing this building for awhile.
The ruins did not seem to be of interest, or at least immediately. Fenn was more eager to follow the trail now that he's picked up a cleaner direction just outside the ruins, and the general consensus was to follow it before they lose it.
The unlikely team exit from the halls of that grand ruined building, and found themselves going down what may have looked like a city street, albeit it's almost completely covered by overgrowth. The lush green with pockets of sunlight peering through the towering canopy, with the faded and mostly hidden cobblestone paths and destroye d buildings claimed by either moss or vines, it was a serene view. If it wasn't for the sudden shriek somewhere in the distance, one would have forgotten a large battle was taking place around them.
As they walked down this path, a large building began to loom ahead, passing the fountain at the center. Fenn took a moment to reaffirm the scent. There was no mistake. The scent leads directly to that building. Though as they reach the archway of what they suppose is a ruined village, they spotted two angels up ahead, talking. They were part of the Army of Light it seems. The first few words prompted everyone to decide to hide and listen instead.
"A great door you say?",
"Yes. I was asked to scout it not long ago. Some angels are already there studying it to figure out how to pass it", shortly after, a few more angels swept down. Though most looked the same, Fenn recognized their scent. It was the ones that fled from them earlier.
"Hmmm...? Where's the commander?",
"He has... Fallen in battle. We are here to warn that there may be some- Hm?!", the angel panicked drew his blade. He looked around, but he didn't seem to see anything.
"N-no... It... must be my imagination...", was it fear? Instinct? Either way, he was on alert, and it caused the others too to go onto alert.
Name: Itou Tenma Nickname: "Gensai the Muramasa" Age: 18 Eyes: Blue, red when using Septima Hair: Originally black, now permanently pale Description: This will be drawn. Country of Origin: Japan Condition: Adept Biography: Itou Tenma was a young Japanese boy, at a young age he was a studious child, and possessing a sharp and quick mind. He studied martial arts as well as academic pursuits as a good child of a comfortable family should, however when he awoke to his Adept powers, his father immediately disowned him, while his mother wept, and he soon found himself alone with few friends, as many of his friends had done very much the same.
Having to drop out of Middle School due to this circumstance he wandered homeless for a year, travelling to the far south of Japan during this time, and soon he ran into others of his kind. They came together as a community and he finally got back into being able to study, but he was changed from his studious self, seeing no more point to be the good student he was, getting into many fights, and more feverishly pursuing his martial arts, starting to learn Kenjutsu, which he took to incredibly quickly.
His skill as a fighter brought him to the attention of radical Adepts who offered him a place among them, he accepted, seeing this as a much better alternative to a normal life. From then on he has been from part of Japan to another for military espionage, and assassination. He quickly gained the title of "Gensai the Muramasa" due to his profound speed, capable of killing targets before their guards could even react, which is reminiscent of one of the Hitokiri of the Bakamatsu. It felt like a fitting title for a member of a rebellion.
He was eventually stationed to the parts higher up their command, and placed in one of the main precursors to QUILL, an extremist group known as ARCHON (Adept Resistance Corp of Hope, Order, and Nationalization).
As a person, Itou is highly cynical, his humor is dry, and he seems more mature than his age. Early in his career as an espionage agent for Adepts, he was driven much by his hatred for being robbed of his life, however he met his family again not long after, and is now driven by the desire to see a world for Adepts, at any cost. Whether or not it will be alongside humans, as he sees governments and large powers as their representative, is still up for debate.
Though out of combat his eyes are still blue, one mission forced him to use his Septima for much longer than he was used to, putting so much stress on his body that it discoloured his hair too.
Gear- [140] Super Sneaker (10 Points) Tactical Sidearm Handgun (20) Septimal Katana, Shakuryu (50) - A Septimal Katana forged from a simple katana by Itou's Septima. It's blade has become blood red, while keeping a black backing. It briefly glows when his Septima is in use. It seems to respond more strongly with his, giving it an unusual sharpness. Combat Suit (60 Points)
Septima- Name: Muramasa Element: Slash [Simple Element, 100] Color: Sleek black with red lightning Powers- [225]
Heaven's Pad [Shock 5] - A chargable slash that slashes the area immediately in front of Itou. Amount of slashes is increased based on charge time.
Retribution [Shock 5] - Itou will take a stance for a brief moment, having a variation of three. All have similar results, that being a rapid backstep into short lunging slash in a single motion accompanied by a burst similar to Heaven's Pad.
Phantom Twin [Shock 5] - This allows him to do an extra slash using his Septima. This basically allows him to fulfill the task of two people, letting him strike another enemy within sword's reach down while he cuts another with his own blade. It requires they be in front or to his flanks as the attack only reaches that area. This move also lets him extend combos in various ways. He can also simply make it mirror his attacks for heightened pressure.
God's Grasp [Sphere 10] - Create a solid instance of Slash all around in a static fashion, able to trap melee attacks in a razor-sharp barrier. This can be used as a general shield as well but is much more effective as a parry tool.
Judgement Cut [Sphere 10] - Seemingly distort a small area and cover it in slashes.
Bladewind [Beam 50] - Itou is able to throw out a bladed beam with a swing of his sword, and is able to do this consecutively too. He is also able to charge it for a larger and more powerful strike, while ones uncharged have speed comparable to bullets.
Shadow Cut [Self-Adjust, Prevasion, 75] - Itou upon being attacked can expend some EP to leave behind a mirage to absorb the strike in his place, essentially letting him use a substitution technique. This lets him easily mount a counter-attack to the unsuspecting attacker.
Blade of the Phantom God [Tool/Self Adjust 75+25] - This requires a weapon, or immediately gives him a [Simple Weapon Katana], allowing him to use this to create a second weapon to use in combat. If imbued to an existing weapon, this allows him to slice through near anything for a short few strikes, the duration is increased with a Septima-Enhanced weapon.
Build: Average SP: 3/3 Special Skills: [300]
Offensive 1 (100 Points) Senshin no Tsurugi - A simple wide-area slash that deals heavy damage. Translated as Blade of the War God.
"The blood-soaked sword The war-horn's echo The blade that cleanses the battlefield"
Offensive 1 (100) Shinryuusoku Jinshi - An offensive skill that allows him to ride his Septima attacks, letting him move at breakneck speed while riding them. Translated as "Hasty Dragon God's Bladed Wings".
"The winds of destruction, Sweeping all with it Into a vortex of annihilation"
Recharge (100) Fuushin no Kisei - Uses raw Septimal energy to recharge EP. Translated as "Fervor of the Wind God".
Unfortunately I'm not sure what's acceptable for the start and what isn't. To account for that I've made the background to justify it, plus as far as I'm aware everyone else has a lot of unspent points too that if used would allow them to reach this kind of level of gear and such.
I have fixed the skills up, and removed Retribution. Judgement Cut is staying as Sphere because the area it affects is quite small, and I feel it does not fit Field.
"The finest", he began, he was a fair bit too busy to say anything until he finished cutting up another set of Sashimi. He was really into it, in fact if anyone looked at this scene from afar they would think it was some kind of obscure sketch.
"Seafood", he finished. It seems he was correcting Shuai here on what to say. Despite all this strange-looking act, the sashimi that he turned out was expertly cut, but considering how much sashimi there was pre-prepared, it looks like sashimi was all he could make. There was a lot of sashimi before you know it, but not enough paying customers. Upon this realization he placed his special knife onto the table, then crossed his arms and waited, eyes closed in focus.
Jack took the man's hand and shook it with courtesy, a firm handshake. "Haha, don't worry, that still happens", he said, laughing along, a little joke at Cian's expense.
"But that's alright. That's what teams are for I guess, plus she probably works the hardest of all of us. Speaking of team... Where is Luke anyways?", and who was their last one... Bianca? He knew their other team mate Priscilla was no longer fit for battle, it was a sad moment, but he reminded himself now was not the time for that. As soon as he had said that though he looked to the girls who claimed to be his sister, and silently went "Oh, right". They seemed like a handful, nice, but a handful.
It's been ages since I've actually looked to play an edgy character.

It was decided that there would be two teams, or technically three if you include the base team. One team will be lead by Rui who will go and investigate and rescue the person trapped here, while the other led by Kami would be focused on securing the surrounding area and scouting out what this dungeon is actually like, so that they may handle it better in future endeavors. The role of scout and information gathering seemed perfect for Kami, considering what he was doing most of the time. The composition was Rui, Katsuro, Kotori, and Akane, while Kami would bring along Shizuka, Jun, and Sato. Both had agreed they should give both Jun and Katsuro their first spin in this place and using their Persona.
For now, Rui's party had reached their destination, it was... A church, it had a huge mix of religious symbols along the stairs in a symmetrical fashion, but one studied on religious figures would notice that a bunch of these were 'martyrs', people who had suffered for their faith, almost every single one having died. The church itself seemed rather normal, though the stained glass depicting many religious punishments was a little unnerving. Whoever they were here for, was clearly very religious.
As they climbed the stairs, exiting the 'underwater'-like area of main Seto they could hear talking, and sure enough that should be their target speaking with their shadow.
Seto - The First Step, Hyuga 22/7/2015 - Wednesday
After splitting up with Rui's party as they arrived to their rescue target, Kami led his party further down the road and around, which opened up to what looks like a mountainous forest, with a bunch of winding paths. The area they stood in now had a Torii to signify the entrance. Just a little beyond the woods they could see what looks like an old Japanese village, but given the empty nature of this entire area, it was simply an unsettling sight. They wouldn't notice it immediately, but if they also looked up, they would realize the sky looks like beneath the surface of the water, which gave the lighting of this area an otherworldly feeling.
"I guess first order of business should be to check that village out", Kami stated. When everyone was ready he led the way.
