| GENESIS CRISIS: RESURGENCE The Tale A cataclysmic war once ravaged the planet Earth. In a global battle for supremacy, no region of the globe was left unscarred. At the very height of the bloodshed, a revolutionary satellite cannon, Leviathan, took aim and fired at the earth. The power of the blast caused tidal waves the likes the world had never seen before. The Western Hemisphere was utterly wiped out, and Africa, Australia, and most of Asia plummeted into the ocean. Only the area once known as Europe remained intact. From the ashes of the devastation, one power arose from central Europe. The empire of Kaddath took control of the region, quickly regaining order and peace for the survivors of the war, but at the cost of much freedom. The militaristic government instilled its rule with an iron will, but the still-present fear of the recent catastrophe kept the people only too willing to accept its authority.
Much time passed since then, and many advances in science. One was the field of genetics. After the Great War, unusual strains of DNA became evident in some people, genes that allowed the possessor to cause physical manifestations on the world around them, or magic as the primitive legends once called it. These were theorized to have come from one gene, the Unified Gene, which allowed unrestricted use of magic. But that gift was now lost, fractured among the many magic-carrying strains studied. This field of study became a popular science, studied among the educated as Strain Genetics.
Fearing this new power might allow insurrections, the Kaddathian Empire instituted a new law, making it forbidden to practice magic outside the Kaddathian Army. Any found casting magic would be immediately drafted, or face martial law. For a time, their stability remained ensured.
However, there were many who murmured in secret about the Kaddathian tyranny. From the shadows a revolutionary group, known as Legion, began to surface. In response, the Kaddathian Empire has brought down its mighty boot to stamp it out, but whispers of the Legion's power and the mysterious creatures known as Majin continue to circulate.
In this time, an unlikely group called Aegis was born to fight the tyranny of the High General and the chaos of Legion. Able to bring the revolution to an end, Aegis brought peace to the nation once more and attempted to rebuild unity once more.
But restoration is a long and difficult process, and the former members of Aegis are only just beginning to realize it.-------------------------------------------------- Then - Spoiler:
Chapter 1 - Harbingers - Spoiler:
A mysterious masked man calling himself Pierrot unleashes a heinous plot against Kaddath and the High General himself. His group, Legion, has prepared itself to rise up and now sends forth its first Harbinger, the White Rider, to go forth in conquest. Meanwhile, Alex Dranos, an ordinary student at the University of Academia, is attacked by a mysterious black creature that attempts to kill him. In a desperate attempt to save himself, Alex unwittingly unleashes magic that annihilates the creature. His life preserved, he now realized that by using magic he has placed not only himself but his friends Rise Esteed and Will Sparks and witnesses James Carter and Lisa on the Army's black list. Seeking the aide of their friend and ex-Army officer Keynes Allenby, the group found themselves on the run. Thanks to Keynes' contacts, the group was able to get a train out toward Eastern Kaddath, narrowly avoiding Chief Samael Raidon of the Secret Police. However, the train was sabotaged in the middle of the wilderness by Majin, who attempted to kill the group after devouring everyone onboard. Thanks to Rise's newly awakened strain, the group was able to defeat the Proclaimer. Now forced to travel on foot, they finally reached Palemare beaten and exhausted. They were able to enjoy a short reprieve, but soon the sirens signaling martial law on the city sounded, locking down the city. In their attempt to escape, the group found themselves mixed up with the Army and shunted to the front lines, where they faced the rampaging White Rider. It was a grueling battle, but the students were able to come out victorious and escape while Commander Grey, having just arrived, struck down Anivia. The escape was shortlived, however, as Chief Raidon managed to corner the group in an alley. Fortuitously, a group of Legion thugs attacked at that moment, giving the opportunity to slip out of Raidon's grasp as he dealt with the Legion forces. Hijacking a jeep, the group headed out east, hoping to finally move outside of the Army's formidable reach.
Once east, however, the group encountered the second of Legion's Riders - Jackson Matthis, the Red Rider. Determined to save his little sister from Legion's clutches, Jax directed troops to take control of the Kappal Mines and heavily damaged Belfort Industrial. On his way to destroy his final target - Helios Weapons Development - he was stopped by the unlikely group of friends. Thoroughly outclasses, they nevertheless fought their best to stop him from destroying the facility and losing lives. In the end, Jax succumbed to the terrible side-effects of his synth seraph, the Majin artificially planted inside him to allow him to utilize magic. Upon hearing his plight, the group decided to help him save his sister from Legion. Upon arriving in Legion's hideout in the sewers, however, they discovered Jax's sister Miki on the verge of death. Able to at last be united with each other, Miki died shortly after. With little time to grieve, Legion flooded the base to hide their presence and do away with the intruders. Narrowly escaping, the group was carried south, where they were able to find rest and shelter to figure things out. Mourning the death of his beloved sister, Jax determined to do whatever it would take to stop Legion, though understanding he was powerless on his own. The others, as well, felt a desire to intervene between the power struggle of the Army and Legion to protect the people of Kaddath. Thus, Aegis was born, and with it a new purpose and resolve for the band of deserters.
Chapter 2 - Tribulations - Spoiler:
After the founding of Aegis, the group headed to Peterny to attempt to stop the next step of Legion's plans. Shortly upon arriving, however, the Military Police appeared to apprehend them, with Raidon thoroughly outmatching Alex and Will as they tried to resist. Fortunately, Keynes arrived in time to stop Raidon from killing them and allow them to escape. Even he couldn't match Kaddath's most infamous swordsman, however, and soon an outsider was forced to step in and distract Raidon to facilitate Keynes' escape. His savior turned out to be Jane Doe, High Agent of Kaddath and double agent for Legion. With her knowledge of the water facility, Aegis was able to infiltrate the plant as the Black Rider began his plan to poison the water supply by adding the remains of Majin to the water. A fight ensued, which ended the water supply halted and the Black Rider cornered. However, the arrival of Command Alina Grey and Police Chief Raidon allowed for the Black Rider to escape, taking Kokonoe Velda with him. Seeing that their time was up, Aegis quickly vacated the premises and sought refuse in an old Army bunker Jane Doe had found. While there, Aegis used this opportunity to train their fighting abilities for the next time they would need to face the Army or Legion.
Seeking retribution for Legion's actions, the Army determined to send its airship fleet to bomb those cities thought to have Legion affiliation. Unwillingly, Commander Alina Grey was placed in charge of the fleet at Palemare Airship Foundary. Hearing of the Army's plans, Aegis determined to stop them and headed out. Lisa, however, broke off from the group and allowed herself to be captured after being shown footage by Jane of her sister Arya being tortured for information. Upon being taken to police headquarters, Lisa found herself forced to watch as Arya was tortured and molested to try to break her. With the abuse having gone too far, Chief Raidon was forced to step in and end things. With Lisa still proving to be uncooperative, Commander Chastenay determined to simply execute the lot of prisoners at Caltha for treason. The sentence set, Raidon was made to relay the information to Arya, and, in a surprising act of kindness, allowed her to spend the night with Lisa in her cell to catch up.
Meanwhile, having reached Palemare, the members of Aegis began to sabotage the airship fleet while Jax held off the Commander herself. Though she did not agree with the decision, Alina was determined to uphold her orders. However, Jax was equally determined to make her see the error of her ways. Pulling off a narrow victory, the Red Rider embraced his opponent to let her know that she wasn't alone. This touching moment was cut short, however, by the arrival of the Army's prototype mobile doll, which easily defeated the members of Aegis in single combat. In a last ditch effort, they combined their spells to hold Lambda off while they were able to escape.
Despite having her life attempted and her allies turn their back on her, Alina was reluctant to switch sides to Aegis. Meanwhile, Arya and Lisa were separated once more as the elder sister was sent to the capital for execution, while the younger was taken prisoner by Raidon and Chastenay as a bargaining tool as they went down to Peterny to finally try to apprehend Aegis.
Jane Doe, who was revealed to be Chastenay's mole, tried to seduce Keynes to lower his guard before she could activate a homing signal to bring the Army in. However, she realized that she'd fallen in love with Keynes, and instead she escaped the bunker to head back to Chastenay and try to negotiate a deal to get Aegis free. Unfortunately, not being aware of what had happened, Aegis thought Jane was betraying them and pursued her to Peterny. Being caught in Chastenay's trap, the situation appeared hopeless for Aegis. Raidon attempted to take Keynes down in a surprise attack, but Jane saved his life, taking the fatal blow herself. With Jane revealing the truth to Keynes before slipping away, Keynes challenged Raidon himself and managed to defeat him while Alina thoroughly humiliated Chastenay in combat, allowing Aegis to escape.
Chapter 3 - Revelations - Spoiler:
Having moured Jane's passing, Aegis was left unsure of how to proceed. Finally gathering their strength, Aegis determined to keep going and produce a broadcast of their own so that the people of Kaddath would know someone was fighting for them. With the death of her half-sister spurring her forward, Alina delivered a heartfelt message to the people of Kaddath. Unfortunately, the Army swiftly countered this with a declaration of death without trial for any suspected members or sympathizers of any anti-Army groups. Using this as a springboard, the final part of Legion's plan came into motion as the Pale Rider came forward, rallying the people against the Army's tyranny and revealing that the satellite cannon Leviathan that ended the Great War was being made functional, supposedly for use against the people. Aegis used Kokonoe's Traesto gems made from Millie's strain to teleport to the capital and challenge the Pale Rider before he could put his plan into action. Unfortunately, Commander Lecarde and the Imperial Guard arrived to break up the rally, turning things into a chaotic battle royale. The Pale Rider managed to get away, and Aegis escaped soon after as Lecarde rallied his men to pursue the Pale Rider. The Pale Rider's mission was far from complete, however. Rallying more people to his side, he attempted to manipulate them into attacking the satellite tower while his Majin wreaked havoc within. Aegis managed to thwart his plan, but not before Rise was mortally wounded, and James activated his Overlimit to kill the last Rider.
After making some fortunate allies, Rise was healed from her attack and able to make a song to touch the people of Kaddath into standing up for themselves. With the four Riders' messages delivered, Aegis prepared for an attack on the capital. They arrived in the tunnels beneath the city, but not before Pierrot appeared to begin his final revolt. They battled him in the sewers, but he managed to escape. With both the Imperial Palace and the Satellite Tower as Legion's targets, the group split up with Will and Jax taking the tower and the others the palace. Lecarde was there to meet them before the doors of the High General's throne room, but Keynes battled him to allow the others through. There the found the truth - Pierrot was none other than Commander Chastenay, who despite using synth seraphs to give him unimaginable power could not overcome the High General. Adalia revealed his knowledge of Legion and their plans since the beginning, as well as his intention to use the chaos to further his power with his mobile doll Army. Aegis fought and nearly lost to him, but Alex awakened a new strain and turned the tide of battle, allowing Alina to strike him down. Rather than allow them to win, Adalia brought down the chambers on them all. Aegis was able to escape, taking Chastenay with him. They were able to reunite with Kokonoe and Keynes, who had reconciled upon defeated Lecarde. With Chastenay's dying words, they realized there was a deeper plan, involving the Majin's true master.
Traveling to the Satellite Tower, Aegis found the remains of the battle between Jax and Commander Valkenheiyn, and Will and Prototype Lambda. Jax, overcome by his synth seraph, was now possessed by a ghostly figure of Pierrot, who revealed himself to be Will. Having monitored them from the beginning, he used them to further his agenda while the Army and Legion created the chaos he needed to blind everyone to his goals. Will was not human at all, merely one of two perfect vessels for Leviathan - the beast awakened the last time the satellite cannon was activated. With the cannon activated once more, the Leviathan's body was freed, and his spirit able to unite with it. Now faced with the monster who had given magic to the world, Aegis found themselves unable to stop the monster. With Alex tapping into his Unified Gene, and the rest of Aegis empowering themselves with their Overlimits, however, they were able to strike the monster down and end things for good.
Returning to Kaddath, Aegis was able to finally disband with peace and stability instated once more. With Alina heading the new government, Kaddath finally found hope for the future.

| World Description KaddathKaddath is a region of both primitive and advanced technology. In the wake of the Great War, much of the technology of the previous war was lost and had to be redone. Most of the focus was on was on scientific and medical advancements, and as a result these areas are more advanced than the were before the Great War changed the face of the globe. The Grand Army of Kaddath in particular possesses the majority of these advancements, using computers, scanners, and phones. The majority of people, however, live a humble means with fairly medieval technology. Weapons have not been advanced for fear of another catastrophic war, and thus are limited to items such as swords, spears, and daggers. While average citizens have to make due with cheaper equipment like wood and steel for their weapons, Army weapons and armor are all made from adamantine. Ensigns are typically given a standard issue one-handed sword, but those who show greater aptitude for other types of weapons can take exams to prove their skill and be granted alternative weapons. Secret Police are all trained to use katanas and stunners, a blunt dart-like device that emits an electric impulse when it hits the target to stun them. Academic institutions are held in high regard under Kaddathian rule. In order to get the most out of the coming generations, students were required to take aptitude tests to determine their major and future degrees. However, Commander Grey and the Electorate have attempted to institute reforms to allow some degree of career flexibility. Strain magic is not common, but not rare either. Bio bands were used to monitor the emergence of strains in young adults. Formerly, those who awakened magic were forcibly recruited into the Grand Army. Reforms have been instituted to allow individuals to chose whether to join the Army or have their strain silenced. Groups have emerged debating against this bifurcation and allowing people to keep their strains without recruit, while others think all strains should be silenced. ArusiaArusia was thought to have been destroyed in the wake of the Great War. However, they survived and remained underground, while European factions emerged and forged together Kaddath. Having few natural resources available and dwindling stocks of supplies, the Arusians threw all their capabilities into science and technology to allow them to survive. As a result, the developed far differently from Kaddath. While some military force exists in the form of Agents, the power largely rests in the hands of the researchers, for whom the people are so largely dependent. Arusia is not a large group, and has had to make due with the space available to them. Research facilities, barracks, and housing projects are all constructed of metal, with other resources like wood being extremely rare and valuable. If one wishes to escape the confines of dreary grey metal, there are only caves and some underground lakes to visit. With resources needing to be carefully maintained, the society is largely communistic, with meals, clothing, and other materials being distributed equally. Although their are markets for acquiring other less essential materials, they are rare and expensive. - Spoiler:
Due to remaining underground, Arusians were never exposed to the air pollution caused by the Leviathan and never developed strain magic. -------------------------------------------------- Map of Kaddath - Spoiler:

Its traits of high density, never rusting or dulling, and resisting magic, make it preferable to all other known metals, particularly for the Army's purposes Unified Gene - theorized by researchers to be the original strain from which all magic strains derive Magic strain - a genetic anomaly that has developed in humans which allows them to cast various spells depending on the nature of the gene Conjuring - the act of gathering mana for a spell, which produces a magic circle in the air in front of the caster. The time required for this varies based on the tier of the spell. Casting - the act of producing the phenomenon known as magic. In this step, the magic circle formed during the conjuring step produces the desired spell.

Removal of the bracelet is considered an act of treason against the Army. _________________ ~Vae Victis - The Black Lily Blooms~ | |

| Rise - Spoiler:
Name: Risette "Rise" Esteed Core value: "If my actions touch even one person's heart, then they're never in vain." Age: 22 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Rise is an energetic and determined individual. She always tells people what's best for them to do, even when they don't want to hear it, and isn't above pouting, guilt-tripping, and harassing people to make them listen. She is something of a gossip and busy-body and loves to tease others. When she seems something she wants, she's incredibly direct and doesn't stop till she gets it. She tries to always stay positive and encourage others, and loves nothing more than making people smile. Affiliations: Aegis Status: Performance artist known as Phoenix View on magic: Pro-Strain History: Rise was born the only child to a loving mother and father. However, her mother was a sickly woman and died when Rise was a young girl. Rise's father was highly affected by this and dove into alcohol to drown his sorrows. He turned out to be a sorrowful, reclusive drunk, and as a result he grew to more and more just ignore Rise's presence. She attempted to bear the responsibility of keeping things up, but when the opportunity for college arose, she quickly escaped to leave her father to wallow in his own despair without looking back. Although the university placed her in mathematics due to her proficiency, she found it too dry and dreamed of being able to sing and bring smiles to people's faces. It wasn't until she joined Aegis that she started to really believe in that dream. Once Aegis was able to defeat Legion and overthrow High General Adalia, Rise finally realized her dream of becoming a singer, and now performs throughout Kaddath as Phoenix, with the help of her stage manager, Darcy. She entered into a relationship with James, and the two are doing very well.

James - Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: James Carter Core value: “Magic has led to problems and the world would be safer and more peaceful without it, but removing it by force is not the right answer.”Age: 24 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: James is an idealistic young man that is willing to put himself into harms way to protect someone he cares about. This will also cause him to act reckless and daring, even though he usually more down-to-earth. Contrary to most guys, he is not physically overpowering and can be quite empathetic and emotional. His main character flaw are his social skills, that make him feel quite uncomfortable in front of people and let him act shy and awkward, especially around strangers. He is left-handed, quite intelligent and knows his way around computers and just like his sister, very curious. His fear of confined spaces is still there, but not as severe as a few years ago, however, he developed the habit of talking in his sleep. Also, he is usually tardy and often loses track of time, which coincides with his love of sleeping in late. Affiliations: People's Republic of Kaddath, Aegis Status: graduate student of the University Stance: Anti-Strain History: - Spoiler:
James and Lenka grew up in a small town near Gemnity in rather poor neighbourhood. They were raised by a loving family in simple circumstances. James spent most of his time sifting through the junk yard or in his room, building gadgets and improving his computer skills. Soon he began to work for the parts he needed and as he excelled at developing new computer technology, he founded a company. Yet, since he was still young, his immaturity and rebellious character made this company for him nothing more than a toy, something to support his ideas and developments with money.
Knowing he still could learn more and become an even better programmer, he went off to college. There he met with a highly regarded professor who introduced him to a Liaison officer from the army. Impressed by James's skills, he was granted a military contract for his company, putting a whole new responsibility on him.
Shortly after he started college, his magic gene manifested. However, he already had his military contract and was able to convince the Liaison officer that he was more useful if he finished his studies and expanded his contract. The military agreed, however insisted that he completed the basic army training and would continue working with them after his studies were done.
In his second year of college, one day he accidentally witnessed a majin attack where the student survived by activating his magic. Curious as he was, he followed him and the events that followed would change his life. For the first time he found friends he didn’t want to lose. His company and everything he had worked for was lost. He fought for something good, something that would change the world, saving it some would say. Though, humble as he was, James usually argued that he only played a small part. In the end, he decided to have his magic strain silenced. He also found someone he loved.
When he finally returned to the university after these events, he had changed. His priorities were less self-centered and his mind had matured to be more responsible. However deep down, he remained that geeky shy young man full of ideals.
In his last year of university, his sister Lenka also joined the university and having always cared deeply for her, he was glad to spend more time with her. Now the graduation ceremony is nearing and because he had his magic silenced he is free to do whatever he wants. Weapons: sword Strain(s): former Zio strain user
Lenka - Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: Lenka Carter Core value: “Everyone should be able to make their own choice and then be strong enough to live with the consequences.”Age: 18 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Lenka is an upbeat, cheerful person that can sometimes come across as hyperactive. She is spontaneous, talkative and entertaining and far less shy than James. Her warm, generous and empathic disposition make her an easy person to talk to. However, there is also a stubborn side to her where she will follow through with any decision she made or follow up on her curiosity even when warned against it, all for the sake of adventure. As far as physical appearance goes, she is not the most impressive, but doing gymnastics helped keep her in a certain shape. Aside from gymnastics, she enjoys reading and cooking. Affiliations: People's Republic of Kaddath, Aegis Status: first year student at the University View on magic: Pro-Strain History: James and Lenka grew up in a small town near Gemnity in rather poor neighbourhood. They were raised by a loving family in simple circumstances. Even though James spent most of his time sifting through the junk yard or in his room, she still felt cared for by her older brother. Throughout her life, Lenka experienced dizzy or fainting spells. None of the doctors they went to could give her an explanation and they all arrived at the conclusion that she simply had a fragile disposition. However this did not stop her in pursuing her dreams and goals. She is still quite life-affirming and refuses to be treated like a breakable doll. In James’ last year of university, Lenka also joined the university to study political history and reach her goal of becoming a political journalist. Weapons: chain-whip (will be acquired along the journey) Note: she will activate her strain at some point during the journey. Her dormant lying strain will also have been the cause for her dizzy and fainting spells, which will stop after its activation.Strain(s): Zio Spells: Zio – shoots a horizontal bolt of lightning at the target Mazio – shoots a stream of five horizontal lightning bolts at the target/s Zionga – sends a surge of static electricity along the ground toward the target, shocking them Mazionga – casts a circle of static electricity around the caster, shocking any nearby targets Thunder Amp - increases power of lightning spells; overcomes another spell of equal tier Ziodyne – casts a large ball of lightning in the air that sends down a powerful bolt on the target Maziodyne - casts a large ball of lightning in the air that sends down a storm of five powerful bolts on the target/s Blue Wall - negates a first or second tier lightning spell and greatly reduces damage from third tier lightning spells Voltic Axis – encases the target in a cage of coursing lightning bolts Overlimit: She can electrify objects, mainly her whip, to carry a charge of electricity, leading to an explosion upon impact Conjuring Style: Crosses her forearms, palms facing outward Casting Style: Releases the spell in a downward motion
Lisa - Spoiler:
Name: Lisa Core Value: "The power of choice means everything." Age: 24 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Lisa is incredibly strict with herself, and is constantly trying to improve herself. Over time, she has learned not to force this trait onto others around her, but she is more than happy to help others better themselves as well, provided they ask. Lisa has a protective side that's often seen when one of her juniors is in trouble, although she is nonviolent by nature, avoiding unnecessary confrontation where possible. Lisa has a deep-seated fear of situations where she has no control, but that fear seldom comes to the surface. Affiliations: Aegis Status: Member View on magic: Pro-strain History: - Spoiler:
At the age of four, Lisa's family was taken from her in one fell swoop. Both of her parents well killed in a vehicle accident, and sometime later, the foster care system decided to place her sister in a different home. Without anything else to cling to, the young Lisa accepted her new family incredibly quickly. Of course, she still felt the pain of her losses, but they were there to wipe away her tears, and in time, they became as close to Lisa as her real family had been.
As the years passed, the wounds healed, but Lisa strived for excellence in everything she did, constantly trying to live up to her foster parents' expectations, even though all they wanted was for her to enjoy her new lease on life. On her 14th birthday, the first letter arrived. It was addressed to Lisa, but from an address she didn't recognize, and her foster mother had given it to her with a sad look in her eyes. She let the letter sit on her desk for almost a month before she finally worked up the courage to open it.
The contents were life-changing. Inside the envelope was a picture of her and her sister when they were children and a letter telling her what her sister had been up to during the ten years since they were separated. With tears in her eyes, Lisa composed a letter of her own in response. She wasn't entirely sure what to write, but there was one thing she wanted to convey in the letter. A part of her life that she had thought she'd never be able to get back had returned to her, and she was incredibly happy about that.
From then on, the letters kept coming, at first infrequently, but with time they came more often, and Lisa made sure to reply to each of them. Whenever one of them would change locations, they would send their new address in the next letter, and without ever actually talking in person, the two of them reconnected with each other. It was also during this time that Lisa took up archery as a club activity, which she seemed to have some talent for. Due to her high aptitude scores, Lisa was admitted to a large university, where she met the original members of Aegis.
The conflict that followed, and the things she endured as a result, severly altered Lisa's mindset. Upon returning to the university, she became less outgoing for a time, retreating into her own mind. After several months of semi-seclusion, Lisa returned to an active life and changed her university path to psychology, vowing to help others who found themselves in a similar situation to the one she had been in during the conflict. Weapons: A pouch containing several handfulls of metallic balls. Strain(s): Garu Spells: All Overlimit: Hidden Hand - After touching an object, Lisa is able to manipulate the air currents around it for as long as her magic is applied to it. This can be used on multiple objects at the same time, but the number and size of objects affected does influence the effectiveness of the magic. Conjuring Style: Lisa takes a deep breath, and holds it for a second. Casting Style: Lisa raises a single arm towards her target, releasing the spell.
Marcus - Spoiler:
Name: Marcus Troy Core Value: "The greatest weapon that we possess is hope. You may strip the very muscles from my bones, but so long as I have hope, I will still carry on." Age: 19 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: A product of Kaddath's foster care system, Marcus has been on his own since before he can remember. He came out stronger for it though. Self-sufficient and somewhat of a prankster, Marcus loves underdog stories, and despite constantly being given the short end of the stick, he's actually a nice guy. Marcus is very guarded with his emotions though, having learned that it's harder to get hurt if you never take the time to get attached.

Marcus' surname may be Troy, but he's not even sure who gave it to him. For as far back as he can remember, he was skipping from one foster home to the next. Some of the others envied him, saying that it's best to not remember anything before, but Marcus has never been sure if he agrees with them or not. Most of the homes are a blur in his mind, as he didn't spend enough time in them for attachments to develop. Of the ones he does remember, most aren't thought of fondly.
At first, Marcus tried to fit in with his temporary families, but over time, he came to realize that they were exactly that. Temporary. After that, Marcus began playing pranks as a coping mechanism to his situation, in hopes of moving on quickly. This new development often landed Marcus in trouble. Some cases were worse than others, and punishment varied from one family to the next. Throughout the years, he endured everything from beatings to banishment.
That all changed when Marcus was transferred to the facility run by Lecarde though. Despite his efforts to avoid attachment, Lecarde displayed a stubbonness unlike any Marcus had ever seen. Over the course of a year, he allowed himself to, for the first time in years, become comfortable in his situation. Pranking was too ingrained into his personality to remove, but during his two years under Lecarde's care, Marcus matured greatly. He became somewhat of an older brother to the other orphans at the facility.
Even after entering university, Marcus continued to visit the children there, and it was during one of these visits that his strain was discovered. When an old outbuilding began to collapse with two of the orphans inside, Marcus pulled them from the falling building in an instant, only realizing after the fact what had actually happened. Unsure of whether or not to keep his strain, a gift when he has been given so few, Marcus consulted another student at the university with a habit of helping other people solve their problems. Weapons: Falchion Strain(s): Kaja Spells: Rakukaja, Marakukaja, Tarukaja, Sukukaja, Makakaja Overlimit: Rattle the Cage - Marcus focuses his magic inwards, multiplying its strength on himself. The immense scale of power contained within causes his body to grow physically, but it puts an incredible strain on his mind. While in this state, Marcus has immense strength and durability, as well as improved reflexes, but he is completely ruled by his emotions, which are like an exposed nerve. Marcus cannot willingly end this state if he is emotionally distressed. Conjuring Style: Arm extended towards the ground, palm up. Casting Style: Fingers of the extended arm close tightly and the arm is raised upwards, bending at the elbow.

Name: Luke Jaron Core value: “I survived because of my strain, and I am not going to let it go. It’s part of who I am…” Age: 19 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: He is not very talkative, but he isn’t silent either. He is responsible, and he is much caring person. However, he doesn’t like to show that he cares. He is likely to shy from his actual feelings. Due to such personality, he picked up music to sing his own emotions. He doesn’t sing anywhere though… But he does perform on the street time to time. Affiliation: People's Republic of Kaddath Status: University Student, 1st year, he had to repeat his 3rd year of high school. View on magic: Pro-strain History: - Spoiler:
Luke was an ordinary high schooler until Majins appeared and attacked the people. The city was raided by one of the Legions’ horseman, White Rider. Luke’s family was famous as a house of mixed martial artists; Luke was trained by his father, the master of the dojo, and the training he had to endure was harsher than any other students. Such training made Luke quick, and much stronger than others. Furthermore, he had talents for it too. However, it was not enough to defeat majin. The majin made its fall slow and the people who was fighting back to protect their love ones made their fall quicker. It looked like it was the end of their family and others. The fear was starting to creeping out to him and others. However, instead of succumb to fear that many would, Luke made his stance. It was this moment that he had awaken his strain. With sudden increased agility and power, he was able to defeat the majins, protecting everyone who was there; Luke smiled at them after delivering the finishing blow to final majin that attacked people. A moment later, the young talented martial artist’s smile slowly faded and he fall to the ground. Everything became dark, and he could only hear voices calling out his name. Soon that faded away as well. He was knocked out from exhaustion. How many days was he in hospital? Luke was not so sure, but when he woke up, his instinct told him that he had to make his escape. No, maybe, he knew what would happen to him if he gets hold by military of Kaddath… Without any second thought, using his martial art skills, he made out alive as the soldiers did not take him seriously for his age was young. How far did he walk and how far did he travel? It was matter of time for the soldiers to find out where he was and soon he knew in his heart that he would be captured one day. But was it his luck or was he unlucky? His tiresome run led to another encounter of majins, using his newly acquired power, majins were no match. However, that victory was short lived and was knocked out by the masked men and women; before he completely blacks out, he was able to ask who they were and the answer was that they were followers. The cold water was splashed to his face, and that rough awakening made Luke realized he was handcuffed to the pipes. The masked men and the masked women laughed, and one of them came close to him. The masked man told Luke that he should join the followers, if he wishes to enjoy the freedom of using his awaken strain. Luke declined, the man ‘s eyebrows and his tone of the voice send the signal he was not happy to hear Luke’s answer as the man stepped back, the bulky masked man stepped forward, cracking his hands. The others left the room, laughing. The bulky masked man started to kick and punch Luke mercilessly; the man’s punch and kick were nothing to brush off, but Luke, who had been sparring his dad and other adults with martial art, was able to use this opportunity to dislocate his fingers to free his hands from the cuff. After freeing himself, Luke quickly kicked the bulky masked man on his stomach. Luke did not give the bulky man a chance to retaliate. The man was knocked out by successful kicks from Luke. After relocating his fingers, he could hear some kind emergency alarm going off. It looked like something or someone else had infiltrated the place and he used golden opportunity to get away. After such miraculous escape, he found out that he no longer had bracelet that sends signal to the army of where he was. Luke took this opportunity to went hiding. Few weeks later, he heard the announcement made by the group Aegis; Luke decided to fight for their cause, however, what he did was nothing special. He only played the part to protect the people who had no powers to fight back. After everything was settled, victory of Aegis, fall of legion and Kaddath entering the new era; Luke returned to his family. However, he couldn’t spar with anyone as his battle for survivor had changed him. Even adults started to avoid Luke. Luke did not understand this at first, and continued with his training to prepare for championship. To his surprise, he was able to win the championship. However, he also started to hear what people were talking behind his back... In their eyes, Luke was not a martial artist, but beast. Disappointed at how people viewed him as a monster and how it was tarnishing his family's name, Luke gave up on becoming next head of his family dojo. The next head of the dojo was changed from Luke to Mark, an elder brother who decided to quit the army. Even then, Luke did not slack off his training as martial art kept him in focus. But, he also picked up new hobby for himself. Playing musical instruments and singing. As he learned musical instruments and singing songs, he was inspired by female singer (Rise); as her song had touched his heart, he started to follow her example to sing for the people. Not to show off how good he is, but wishing that the song he had written could also heal the scars of the people. He entered the university to become Song Writer and Composer. One of his own Song - Spoiler:

"But I am not going to give up, I am not going to let the world push me around. "
"I am not saying it is easy, it took me awhile to stand on my feet too." "I still struggle, and I am still broken, like you are. But, I am going to sing it to you," "Don't give up now, don't give up now, don't give up, now." "You have struggled too much to give up now. Let's go through this together."

| The High General - Spoiler:
Name: Alina Grey Core Value: "Justice sees all, hears all, knows all, and tells all. Let no one think themselves above it, lest they be trampled beneath its feet." Age: 29 Appearance:- Spoiler:
Personality: Alina is a true idealist, and believes in working hard to achieve a better world, a trait that her father instilled in her from a young age. She was also taught to respect authority, and although these two traits have helped her be successful in the military, they also make her somewhat overzealous in following her ideals. In public, she's a hero of the people, and has no trouble dealing with whatever situation she happens to be placed in, but outside of her duties, Alina is a somewhat awkward woman. Since her mother died while she was young, she was never taught how a lady should act, but was instead raised with her father's knightly pride. Affiliations: Praetorate, Grand Army of Kaddath Status: Commander of Terra Firma Division Views on magic: Pro-strain History:- Spoiler:
Alina has no memory of her mother, who died of some disease while she was only two. In order to cope with his wife's death, her father tried his best to be there for his daughter whenever possible, and if she ever missed her mother's presence, Alina never let it show. Instead, she followed closely in her father's footsteps. Even as a child, she had already learned the sword, and many of the other nobles were appalled by the fact that she'd rather be fencing than playing with dolls, like the other girls her age.
Despite her protests, her father did send Alina off to a private school for a few years, where she was educated in the things that he himself couldn't teach her, but the two of them maintained contact through letters, and after the first few weeks, it was obvious that she didn't resent him for his decision.
When she returned from the school, Alina began dealing in small matters of the court that her father didn't have the time to deal with, and within the course of a year or two, she had developed somewhat of a reputation amongst the nobles. Clearly, she wasn't what they were used to, and that was only made more obvious when she enrolled into the military to follow in her father's footsteps, footsteps that would eventually lead her to taking over his position as Commander when he fell ill and could no longer continue his duties.
She had always thought that she would return his position to him when he got better, but Alina learned of her father's passing one night when she returned from a diplomatic mission. It was obvious that she was crushed by the news, and for a time, High Command thought of removing her from her father's position. Afraid that she would lose the ability to carry on his legacy if she no longer held his position, Alina pulled herself back together to resume her command.
During the conflict that followed, Alina was ousted from her position as Commander. Following the death of her half-sister, she became the figurehead of Aegis, helping them to bring about revolution, at which point she was named the new High General of Kaddath. Putting her ideals into action, she immediately began setting into motion various reforms on both the social and political fronts within the country. Weapons: Rapier Strain(s): Bufu Spells:Bufu – shoots an icicle at the target Mabufu – shoots a spread of five icicles at the target/s; cause frost damage on impact Bufula – creates a wall of ice that shoots toward the target, slamming into them and shattering on impact into shrapnel. Mabufula – shoots a larger wall of ice that shoots toward the target/s Ice Amp - increases power of ice spells; overcomes another spell of equal tier White Wall - negates a first or second tier ice spell and greatly reduces damage from third tier ice spells Overlimit:Crown of Swords - The air around Alina rapidly drops in temperature, and the moisture it contained forms into an icy tiara on her head. Anyone without ice magic nearby will suffer from sluggish movement, due to rapidly decreasing core temperature. Alina may also remove the tiara and throw it at a target, at which point it will grow in diameter, reaching a maximum size of 2 meters across before the jagged edges that it is made of expand inward, impaling anything within its confines with blades of ice. Conjuring Style: Brings her rapier to her chest, pointing the blade skyward. Casting Style: Slashes downward at an angle, pointing the blade of her rapier at the ground and off to the side.

Minister Durmail Minister Cressen Keynes - Spoiler:
Name: Keynes Allenby Core Value: "The measure of a man isn't wealth or status. It's waking up every day and vowing to be a better version of yourself than the one from the day before." Age: 38 Apperance:- Spoiler:
Personality: Keynes is a kind soul with a big heart, but isn't very good at expressing himself. His years in the military let him see numerous young soldiers grow up under him, but despite all of his training, he was never really much good as the father figure he often found himself in the role of. Something that's changed since the birth of his own daughter. On the surface, he seems lazy, but beneath that facade is a brilliant strategic mind at work. Affiliations: Grand Army of Kaddath Status: Member of the Electorate, Doting Father View on magic: Undecided History:- Spoiler:
Keynes was born into a decent family, and caused very little trouble throughout his childhood. In fact, very little of note took place before his first semester at university, which he got into because of an intellectual exam. Unlike his hometown, where Keynes had been the smartest in everything, at the university, he was surrounded by other people that were as intelligent as he was, or in most cases, more so.
Halfway through his second semester, he was considering the option of switching to a less advanced university and moving back home. It was obvious that although he had passed the exam, Keynes didn't have the proper mindset for the university, but when his lab partner caught wind of the fact that her partner might be abandoning her for the rest of the semester, she confronted him about it. The kind-hearted Keynes was unable to desert her to the fate of either doing two peoples' work for the remainder of the course or flunking out of the class, and decided that he'd stay until the semester was over, but as the time for him to leave drew closer, Keynes realized that during the short time he'd known her, he had fallen madly in love with her.
Telling himself that he could make it work out, Keynes decided to stay, and the two of them continued to work together for the next semester as well. It was probably obvious to her why he had decided to stay, but she never asked him about it, and Keynes didn't bring it up until the end of their second year, when he clumsily told her his feelings, and the two of them began dating. They remained like this for the next three years, until right before graduation.
In the months leading up to the ceremony, she had received a number of offers to work in various research positions, and Keynes had received nothing. He had only managed to survive the courses with the lowest allowed scores in most cases, and as their university lives came to a close, he realized that he would only be a burden to her if he stayed. So, the morning after graduation, he vanished, leaving only a short note saying goodbye.
Keynes spent the next several years in the military, working his way up through the ranks with his fairly sharp mind, which gave him an edge in tactical situations. On a few occasions, he even thought to himself that he might go find her again someday when he made something of himself, but that was never to be. On his third operation as a general, Keynes made a decision that saved a platoon of his men at the cost of the objective. He was already too decorated to be demoted. So, Keynes was forced into an early retirement instead.
Without even realizing it, Keynes made his way back to the town where his university had been, and after a few months, he opened a bar just outside the campus, offering the students a place to relax from their grueling schedules. It was all he could really do at this point in his life, and it didn't hurt to have a couple bottles laying around to hide in whenever he started thinking about the past.
His life took a turn for the interesting when he took the students, who would eventually become known as Aegis, under his wing. The conflict changed his outlook on a lot of things, and while he lost much, he also gained more than he could have hoped for. Keynes now strives to make use of his knowledge, to help guide the next generation down the right path. Weapons: various Strain(s): none
-------------------------------------------------- Terra Firma Divison *Taurus - Army Force Battalions* Nadenka - Spoiler:
Name: Nadenka Orlov Core value: “… I lost him and he is not coming back … He cannot come back to me… What’s the point of having this in me…? Turn me if you must, I am not going to stop you. Just grant one wish of mine. Bury me beside him…” Age: 26 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: She is a strong woman, or is she? She is usually portrayed by her comrades as calm and cool person. Many people say how her smiles, cheers them. Her smiles dose not look like fake smiles, but she does not tell her true feelings about herself and she is really good at hiding her true emotion. Affiliation: People’s Republic of Kaddath Status: Doctor & Medic View on magic: Anti-Strain History: - Spoiler:
When her power of her strain was discovered she was happy; as a person who was persuading medical field, Dia strain that awaken inside her looked like a gift from God. Not just others, but herself as well thought it that way.
To use her Strain even better and also to put her skill as a doctor to the test, she enrolled herself to the Grand Army of Kaddath. The moment to put her skill to the test came earlier than expected as well, saving special agent who had valuable information of Legion.
And that man became her lover as well.
As the fight between Kaddath and Legion heading to its end, her lover proposed to her. "Would you marry me, Nadenka Orlov? I know I cannot offer you a lot, but I promise you. I will do my best to make you smile everyday!"
And she said "Yes."
However, her lover could not keep that promise. He returned to her as a cold body, a dead man.
She taught about killing herself, but it was the last will written by her lover that prevented her from doing so.
"If you are reading this, I guess I couldn't keep my promise. Well, I guess you are meant to meet better man than me. Don't give up your life, love, you are still needed in this world. Hopefully when we meet up in heaven, you have lots of stories to tell me."
He probably had said that to cheer her up, but it broke her heart further. "That idiot... How... How could he expect.. expect me to....expect me to live on....without him..." She mourned for his death for days.
Soon after, she quit her position in the army.
When Kaddath entered new era, she joined army once more. Many were surprised of her return. She told them, "I am not the only one who has scar of losing someone, if I could do to make them feel better... with my powers... I want to be here."
There was, however, another reason for her return... He was slowly disappearing from her memory; he was starting to fade... Right now, she could not remember his touch... She could not remember his voice clearly anymore...He was becoming "a man who she loved dearly in the past"... However, she was not going to make him disappear... She did not want to let him go... She did not want him to be "the past"... Even many might view her as a foolish girl, if trapping herself into the past is what she needed to do to keep her memories of him alive, then she was going to do that.
She also couldn't shake off the feeling that it was the strain that started all this war... The Dia strain that she thought of it as a gift from God, she now looked at it as cursed from God.

Player: Noin Name: Arya Tarsos Age: 25 Appearance:- Spoiler:
Personality: Arya is still vein about her looks, she has strong moral standings towards what is good and right. Very calm, even under pressure and despite what she went through, she never really loses her cheerfulness or her ability to see the good in people. There is still the hidden fear of being left behind, but it is buried very, very deep and in her current situation there is no danger of it surfacing. All around a positive outlook on life with a love and passion that she just can’t help but spread to those around her. Affiliations: Grand Army of Kaddath Status: Lieutenant, Terra Firma Division - Capricorn Subdivision - Weapons Development Center History:- Spoiler:
Her parents died in a car crash when she was seven. She was left in the system and went into foster care. She had a little sister, which was given to a different foster family, where she was welcomed warmly. Arya, however, changed foster families quite a few times and could never seem to settle anywhere.
Since her life was that of a drifter, she learned to survive and changed school fairly often and hardly ever made friends, afraid she’d have to leave them again. Despite this, she managed to finish school with excellent results because of her talents for physics and math. After school she decided to enlist in the army. They trained and educated her, forming her into the perfect tool with her want and need for acceptance. The army gave her the stability and family she was longing for. Her loyalty, which is partly blinded by gratefulness, runs deep and she is eager to prove herself over and over again, afraid that they’ll turn back on her and abandon her. She doesn't always agree with what the army is doing, but she'd still do anything for them.
At an early age, she lost contact with her sister Lisa, but after 10 years she mustered up the courage to write her a letter and ever since then they’ve been in contact without ever seeing each other.
During the events that triggered the downfall of the High General, she experienced many hardships. She was torn from her sister, she was tortured and then, when everything seemed lost, she found love. In the end she was even reunited with her sister. After taking some time to find herself again, she returned to her old job at the Weapons Development Center. She is still in a relationship with Samael Raidon and despite spending quite some time at work, she treasures every day she can spend with him.
In addition to that, over the past two years, she has worked quite hard to stay in close contact with her sister and the two of them are now more connected than ever.

Personality: A heartfelt and passionate young man, he puts everything into his training. He has difficulty expressing himself sometimes, and prefers to let his actions do the talking. Although normally cool, calm, and collected, his lack of social interactions has left him flustered and unsure of himself when placed in awkward situations. Though seemingly a bruiser, he tends to be very introspective. This tends to work against him, as it makes him reflect on his mistakes and weaknesses more and thus be very hard on himself. Affiliation:Grand Army of Kaddath - Caelum Regius, formerly AegisStatus:Chief of PoliceView on magic:Pro-Strain History:Jax was born the elder of two children, and always looked out for his little sister Mikaila (nicknamed Miki) after their parents died in an Army raid on their town, investigating a potential threat against the capital. Jax provided for the two of them and helped keep them alive and safe for some time.
But one day men came to their town during the night, kidnapping children and teenagers to use in a research experiment. Jax was unable to stop them from taking Miki and himself and imprisoning them in one of Legion's underground bases. They had little real use for Miki, but kept her as leverage to make Jax stay in line as they took him and the other best candidates for strain research. After countless hours of torturous experimentation, he and three others managed to survive and successfully display the qualities Legion was looking for. These four were made into Legion's Riders of the Apocalypse. Jax had little care in Legion's machinations, but was determined to use what they'd given him to help him grow stronger. He trained relentlessly day after day to become a fighting machine, in the hopes that he could free Miki from Legion's clutches.
Unfortunately, it was all a lie. Legion never intended either of them to live. With the help of Aegis, Jax was able to see his sister one last time and bury her beneath the sun. After that, he swore his loyalty to his new friends and helped them to take down Legion so no more families would be destroyed. In the aftermath of the High General's downfall, Jax was given the position of Chief of Police, where he now works hard to ensure stability and peace for Kaddath.Weapons:His two fists (also possesses a knife for emergencies)Strain:NoneOverlimit:Heat Riser - triples the caster's speed, agility, and offensive strengthConjuring Style: holds his right arm up in front of his body, hand clenched into a fistCasting Style: punches his arm toward the circle, releasing the spell

*Aquarius - Strain Genetics Research Department* Kokonoe Velda - Spoiler:
Name: Kokonoe Velda Core value: “Science speaks louder than words." Age: 40 Appearance:- Spoiler:
Affiliations: Grand Army of Kaddath, Ergo Research Status: Head Research Scientist Views on magic: Pro-Strain Personality: Kokonoe is a brilliant and dedicated scientist, esteemed as a prodigy in her early days and a genius in the field of strain genetics in her latter days. However, she is dripping with sarcasm and cynicism that makes it incredibly difficult to get along with her, much less get close to her. This, coupled with her habit of loud, expletive-filled rants and chain smoking, has ensured that the Army values her expertise at a considerable distance. Beneath all this hides a brave and well-meaning person, who will never back down from their views regardless of the consequences. History: Kokonoe was brought up in a family of scientists and was expected to continue and further their legacy. This was never a burden to Kokonoe, who aspired to to do great things with her mind, which she had proven more than capable of despite her young years. Upon attending university, she had thoroughly and single-mindedly focused upon achieving excellent grades and awards. However, right off the bat her lab partner apparently got cold feet and decided to back out. Infuriated, she confronted him not only for her own sake but for his, lecturing him on considering his future and all he could achieve. To her great relief, he reconsidered and stayed. She believed she had inspired him with her impassioned talk, but it soon became evident that this was not the case. Although he stayed, he continued to only do the bare minimum where his own grades where concerned. When they were partnered, however (as they often happened to be, since she hadn't bothered to get to know anyone else), he always strove to do as much as possible to help her out. Kokonoe, curiosity burning, decided to confront him about it. Surprisingly, he came out and confessed his feelings to her. Kokonoe was flustered and didn't know how to respond or even what to think, but fortunately he hadn't seemed to expect a reply. During a study session well into their university years, she found that she was less focused on the exam they were attempting to prepare for and more on the man she was studying with, much to her distress. She kept stealing glances at his pleasantly rugged features and particularly his lips, wondering what they would feel like. Suddenly, she slid close to him, cheeks flushed as she gazed up into his face. "Kokonoe?! W-what are you doing?" he gasped. She scowled embarrassedly at him, wondering how he could ask something like that with her intent so obvious. "Experimenting to test a hypothesis," she replied before pulling him into a kiss. When they finally came up for air, panting heavily, she adjusted her glasses and sighed. "I think I like you too," she replied before sliding back to her seat and picking back up her text book. Despite her newfound romantic interest, Kokonoe made strict point of not allowing their relationship to interfere with their studies. The arrangement worked quite well, and the moments of pure relaxation were all the more special because of it. Kokonoe began to find herself more and more attached with her love interest, and began to think of how to approach talking about their future together after graduating. However, these thoughts were put on the backburner as she was forced to sort through many potential positions and offers for research opportunities as graduation loomed closer. And then suddenly it was gone. Right after graduation, the love of her life simply disappeared without so much as a goodbye, only leaving a note to say he was sorry. Kokonoe cried bitterly for many weeks, heartbroken at the betrayal. Soon, however, the wound made so deeply by the sudden loss of her love began to scab and harden over. Kokonoe began to blame herself for the pain, realizing that she should have never placed her feelings above her goals and future. Discarding all unnecessary aspects of her persona, Kokonoe dived into her work with renewed fervor, determined to keep her life solely devoted to science. Despite eschewing all unnecessary social contact and burying herself in her research, Kokonoe couldn't hide the bitterness that continued to fester inside her, no matter how much she tried to bury it under her cynicism, swearing, and chain smoking. When Legion sparked the revolution that brought out the military's ugier side, Kokonoe defected and took her research and brains with her to Aegis' side. With her invaluable help, they were able to stop the threat to Kaddath. Kokonoe was finally able to put the past aside and reconcile with her fomer lover, Keynes, and start a new life with him. Together, they had a baby named Millie Jane Allenby.

Name: Samael "Kaiser" Raidon Core value: “Power can corrupt even the most virtuous among us." Age: 30 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Intelligent, perceptive, and always guarded - these are the qualities that best exemplify Chief Raidon. He never used to display to display emotion, always exacting his orders with perfect machine-like precision. However, his fall from grace and his growing feelings for Arya Tarsos helped bring his walls down. Though he still his calm and unemotional, he is much more susceptible to gentility and kindness than he used to be. Affiliations: Grand Army of Kaddath, Office of Internal Affairs Status: Chief of Internal Affairs Views on magic: Anti-Strain History: Raidon was born into a family of Military Police chiefs, and was the youngest to ever take the mantle.

However, his prestige took a blow when he failed to apprehend a group of runaway students calling themselves Aegis. When he was defeated in battle and disgraced, his rank was stripped from him. Eventually, he came to help Aegis in the last battle and was redeeed. Though afraid to take power once more and become corrupted by it, he accepted High General Grey's promotion to chief of the new Office of Internal Affairs.

| THE OLD GUARD High Lady Adalia - Spoiler:
Name:Ariana Adalia Core value: “This empire is my birthright. Everything belongs to me." Age: 14 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Ariana is graceful and strong-willed beyond what most would expect. She exerts authority and dignity befitting her lineage -perhaps it's in her blood, perhaps watching countless footage of her father - but occasionally her age can show. Being angry or caught off-guard can cause her to become quite childish and petulant. Fortunately, Olivar is never too far away to keep the situation under control. Affiliation:The Old GuardStatus:High LadyView on magic:Pro-Strain History:Ariana Adalia is only a year old. Before that was an orphan named Ariana whose mother had died of illness and whose father was unknown to her. It was when Olivar found her, took her in, and told her the truth of her father that she was truly born. That beggar hadn't been the real her. The daughter of the greatest High General of Kaddath... That's who she was. And she would make sure everyone knew it when she reclaimed her throne. After all, it was her duty.Weapons:RapierOverlimit: NoneStrain:Megido, Agi, Zio, Dia, KajaConjuring Style: extends her right arm out straight as the magic circle appears in front of itCasting Style: flicks her hand toward the circle, releasing the spell
Lord Commander Farrington - Spoiler:
Name:Olivar Farrington Core value: “Return Kaddath to its former glory. At all costs." Age: 62 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Olivar is intelligent and cunning, and absolutely loyal to the former High General Adalia's vision. He can be a bit arrogant, but he knows the power of charm and utilizes it nearly as well as Adalia once did. Affiliation:The Old GuardStatus:Lord CommanderView on magic:Pro-Strain History:Olivar was a member of Ignus Imperius, directly below Commander Lecarde. After the overthrow of the capital, Olivar quickly and quietly escaped with a regiment of loyal soldiers. Since then, he has quietly recruited more loyalists to the old regime and those disillusioned with the direction the new government is taking.
Even so, their numbers were too small. They had nothing to rally behind. Olivar was held in high regard, but it wasn't enough to convince anyone but the most loyal soldiers.
Then, he found her. It couldn't be coincidence. She was exactly what he needed. Ariana Adalia.
Now, he had his troops and his figurehead. He only needed an opening...Weapons:RapierOverlimit: NoneStrain:Bufu, PulinpaConjuring Style: holds his right arm diagonally across his chestCasting Style: slashes the arm downward across the circle, releasing the spell

| ARUSIA Maxim - Spoiler:
Name:Dr. Maximilian Valery Core value: “The world outside is full of opportunities. I plan to explore them all." Age: 27 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Maxim is a scientist through and through. His curiosity is insatiable, and any opportunity untapped is an opportunity wasted. He's quite amicable and persuasive, but his determination in his goals can make him rather ruthless. Affiliation:ArusiaStatus:Senior ResearcherView on magic:Pro-Strain History:"What if" has always defined Maxim's life. From his earliest years, he could remember wondering what life was like above the ground. When he became part of the research group and became aware of Kaddath and the world outside, his curiosity grew. Studying strain particulates in air samples was fascinating at first, but what would if he could study the real thing? Studying Kaddath's progression was engaging, but what if he could see it firsthand?
That all changed the day a stranger stumbled upon one of their secret entrances to the surface. When Maxim first laid eyes on Kurik, everything suddenly became possible.
Kurik was treated well, but many were uncomfortable around him. Maxim, however, took every opportunity to be around the other man. Whether it was to check up on his health, take samples for research, or gain information on Kaddath and the outside world, he took it.
Through his pressing, discussions began about sending out agents, now that the risk of air contamination seemed negligible. Perhaps, they could even find new land above to rebuild. Maybe, they could find old land to take...Weapons:Electrostatic whip and shieldOverlimit: NoneStrain: NoneConjuring Style: NoneCasting Style: None
Kurik - Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: Kurik Akatsuki Core value: “All of mankind are equal and they shouldn’t be separated by magic.”Age: 28 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Kurik used to be a quietly, cheerful young man, however after the events with his best friend, he changed into a more calm person that always seems a little angry or sad. Yet he has not lost hope that his actions can change something. Generally, Kurik is a honest person, pragmatic, however in high stress situations that get the adrenaline running, it can easily happen that he acts rash and even reckless. He is not always the most thoughtful, but very open minded towards new things and ideas. His social skills are engaging, but not overly talkative. By joining the Arusian Empire on their quest, he is also fulfilling his own goal of fighting against the current structures to force about a change. Since the event with his best friend, he is suffering from insomnia and to calm himself down he picked up woodworking/wood carving. Affiliations: Arusian Empire Status: defector of the Grand Army of Kaddath Stance: Anti-Strain History: - Spoiler:
Kurik was brought up in the middle-class district of Caltha by his mother. She worked very hard to provide for her son. When he was only 6 years old, his father died while on a military mission. Originally Kurik had wanted to pursue a more peaceful trade, but when he was 20 years, his magic gene manifested and slightly unwilling he joined the military. With him his best childhood friend Talen joined, even though he had no magic.
Together they went through the military training and went on countless missions together. During the fight against the Legion, they were stationed near the Belfort Industrial Region. After the fall of the Leviathan, their task was to round up any of the remaining Legion followers at the borders of Kaddath. During this mission at the eastern border of Kaddath there was a surprise attack followed by a rockslide. They fell into a crevice and Talen was half buried under rock and Kurik was quite hurt himself.
When rescue finally came, they only had orders to evacuate Kurik, seeing that he was magic user and Talen was apparently more expendable. An enraged Kurik refused to leave his best childhood friend and without thinking he lashed out with his magic, knocking the two officers unconscious that had come to rescue him.
He tried to stay with his friend, but it was too late. Talen died in his arms just a few minutes later. Distraught and hurt himself, Kurik began the long climb out of the crevice and stumbled away. He just kept walking and walking for days, overwhelmed by sadness and anger until suddenly he found himself in a cave. What made him stop was a stone gate. His confused mind tried to make sense of what he saw. Why was there a man-made structure in the middle of nowhere and days away from the last known border of Kaddath?
Suddenly the gate opened and he found himself facing a two men with weapons. He was still conscious enough to realize that their faces looked uncharacteristically un-Kaddathian. “Help me please” he whispered and then passed out.
Accidentally, he had stumbled across the Arusian Empire that was located underground. By chance their council had decided to help him instead of killing him. He had found a safe haven and with it a way to exact his revenge on the government for believing that his friend was worth less than somebody who could use magic. Kurik began to provide the Arusian Empire with insider information on the army and strain users and helped them develop weapons to fight more effectively against people using magic.
Finally he was able to convince them that the time was right to reveal their existence to certain people, a group of Old Loyalists that had their own plans. He then began to train with a selected group of government agents to prepare. Weapons: none, a pair of Sai, if available Strain(s): Kaja, Pulinpa Spells: Rakukaja – casts a magical shield that blocks any normal physical attacks or first tier spell and resists second tier spells Marakukaja – casts a magical barrier around a group that blocks any normal physical attacks or first tier spell and resists second tier spells Tarukaja – casts a burst of energy over the target, hyper-stimulating their muscles to take blows and deal damage beyond normal human capacity Sukukaja – casts a burst of energy over the target, hyper-stimulating their cells to greatly enhance their speed and agility Makakaja – casts a burst of energy over the target, hyper-stimulating their magic gene to greatly enhance their spell power Tetrakarn - casts a magical shield that reflects any physical attack Dormina – casts a mist that causes the target’s to become very sleepy Tentarafoo – casts a stream of lights that collide with the target, confusing them in a daze of colors Enervate – casts a blast that weakens that target on impact, reducing their speed and strength Balzac – casts a flash of red light that enrages a target, blinding their judgment with rage and fury Poisma – casts a cursed blast that poisons the target on impact Shibaboo – casts chains of energy that bind the target’s limbs and immobilize them Dekaja - negates any status enhancement on a target Makajam - casts a burst of energy over that target that silences reception from the magic gene, preventing spell casting temporarily Overlimit: none Conjuring Style: puts his right fist over his heart, concentrating Casting Style: moves his open hand outward
Alexei - Spoiler:
Name:Alexei Stanislav Core value: “Soldiers don't think. They do." Age: 31 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Alexei is focused and task-oriented, and one of the top agents of his rank. He's quite brusque and clipped in his speech. It's easy to assume, based on his size and demeanor, that he's all brawn and no brain, but that's quite untrue. He's highly skilled and strategic, and a firmly grounded realist. He gives out his opinions quite freely, but he never second-guesses an order. Affiliation: The Russian EmpireStatus: The Russian Empire Military OfficerView on magic: Anti-Strain History:Alexei has never wondered what lay above their subterranean city. Others have whispered, speculated, and dreamed of what lay above. Alexei's eyes were always on what was directly before him, however. If there was a task that needed doing, he was the first to take care of it. Others were free to come up with the solutions. Alexei only occupied himself with carrying them out. Perhaps he wasn't the most imaginative youth, but he was a useful and promising one. Alexei was taken from the academy all students attended and started on military training. He approached it with the same efficiency as ever and moved up the ranks.
Despite his aloofness, he never had trouble with making companions. His presence was calm and reassuring, and his blunt tendency to state things as is made him trustworthy. There's even rumors of his sexual prowess, and more than a few younger recruits have come to him for advice.Weapons:Injector rifle for strain corruption and an electrostatic baton. Overlimit: NoneStrain: NoneConjuring Style: NoneCasting Style: None
Ehlana - Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: Ehlana Nikolaev Core value: “Anything that cannot be explained by science is unnatural and needs to be removed.”Age: 26 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Ehlana is a soft-spoken, calm person. When she has a task, she is very focused, controlled and steady and not inclined to emotional outbursts. In stressful or combat situations she usually dauntless and confident but seldom reckless. In private she is quite sociable and empathic and once she gets to know a person she can be quite talkative. Due to her upbringing, she had the traditional views of her people and thinks science has the answer to everything. Quite contrary to that, she is sometimes quite superstitious, especially when it comes to things and people from Kaddath. Affiliations: Arusian Empire Status: Arusian Empire Government Agent Stance: Anti-Strain History: Ehlana was born in the Arusian Empire into a higher class family. Her parents are scientists with a high contribution to the development of technology. This allowed Ehlana to receive an elite education. However, when it was her time to be chosen for a career, she failed the “scientist” entrance exam (labeled as not smart enough). She was pushed towards a military/government career instead. This development alienated her from her parents. When the magic user from Kaddath arrived, she was chosen along with a small elite of government agents to train with him and then go to Kaddath to inject strain users with nano-insects to turn them into pseudo-Leviathans. Weapons: metal bo staff, magnetic lock in the middle, able to separate into two additional weapons to hunt strain users: - Scouter (scans for strain users) - Mental Barrier Shield (metal bands around wrists, ankles and neck provide a thin energy barrier that repels magic spells that target the mind up to 3 times) - Crossbow and electrostatic bolts (shooting the bolts at the magic circle will shatter it (tier 1-2) and prevent the spell from being released or pin it into place (tier 3 or above) and cause a delayed release - Injection syringe for strain corruption Strain(s): none
Belo - Spoiler:
Name: Belobog “Belo” Volkov Core value: “The world is unfair, that’s already given. But, how you live through that world determines what you are and who you really are. You are not born with destiny; you make your destiny…” Age: 28 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Belo is not a person who would start the conversation first; he is very unresponsive to the taunts and what others say about him. He is, however, hard worker and careful person. He is not flashy, nor show off. He is, in fact, very humble, and appreciative person. Affiliation: The Arusian Empire Status: The Arusian Empire Military Officer, Government Agent. View on magic: Anti-Strain History: - Spoiler:
Belo’s family was not wealthy nor was fortunate; when he turned 12, he had to live through the streets of underground. He had to fight for his food; the only thing that had kept him going was his parents’ last words. “Belo, keep on living... Do not stop living...”
Belo lost his entire family due to the strange illness that made people weak. The only cure that doctor told 11 years boy was that he had to have his parents get out from the underground, and let them rest under the Sun.
Other way was to pay costly amount of money to have his parents and his siblings go through the treatment that allows them to rest under the light that has the similar property as a Sun.
Belo decided that he would go and ask others for help, but no one came for desperate cry of the boy.
His parents, fully aware of what he was trying to do; they told him it was unnecessary. The broken heart of Belo, broke even further as his younger siblings had told him the same thing to him.
He cried out loud to them, "Why are you guys giving up? Why are you guys not trying to fight it? I don't care about having debts, I don't care! Don't leave me behind!"
However, the family just smiled to him and they said it was their fate. Angry with what they had said, Belo ran away from the hospital. His heart, hurt and injured. But, he strengthened his resolve; he went to the street to find anyone willing to help the boy.
But, no one took the desperate boy's cry seriously.
When he finally came back to hospital, his siblings were already gone and his parents were on verge of dying. Belo's father and mother had softly whispered to him, smiling, "Son, I know it's hard to accept it... But, it was too late for us to change it. But you, you still can... So... Belo, keep on living... Do not stop living... We love you..."
That was the last time he heard his parents voice. The pendant was given to him on that day, saying that it was a gift from his late family. Inside the pendent, it had his family photo.
Belo cried and cursed them, shouting out loud that if they had this kind of money, they should have used it on their treatment... Even then, in his heart, he knew that this was their saying of they will be by his side.
That was his 12th birthday.
After losing all of his family, he went out to the street; he was picked on by richer kids and people with wealth treated him like a dog. Even then, he kept on trying his best to live.
He had stolen, and he had fought; but, 2 years later he was caught by the law enforcer of Russian Empire. Fortunately, instead of being punished heavily, he was given a choice of serving in the army of Russian Empire.
He took it and he had been training in the military camp since then. He soon became a brilliant military officer in combat. Hand to hand combat came naturally to him as he always been risking his life to survive on the street and he did not stop practicing his firearm skills, even though, many considered that he doesn't need it any more. Some even started to believe that he was just showing off.
However, such words did not make Belo flinch nor frown nor made him passive; he kept on training himself to become stronger officer.
He did not know why, but he knew he wanted one thing. Sunlight.
Weapons: A sniper rifle specially designed to snipe extremely far targets; two customized pistols that could fire 24 bullets and a combat knife with extreme durability and sharpness. Overlimit: None Strain: None Conjuring Style: None Casting Style: None

Name: Luke Jaron Core value: “I survived because of my strain, and I am not going to let it go. It’s part of who I am…” Age: 19 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: He is not very talkative, but he isn’t silent either. He is responsible, and he is much caring person. However, he doesn’t like to show that he cares. He is likely to shy from his actual feelings. Due to such personality, he picked up music to sing his own emotions. He doesn’t sing anywhere though… But he does perform on the street time to time. Affiliation: People's Republic of Kaddath Status: University Student, 1st year, he had to repeat his 3rd year of high school. View on magic: Pro-strain History:- Spoiler:
Luke was an ordinary high schooler until Majins appeared and attacked the people. The city was raided by one of the Legions’ horseman, White Rider. Luke’s family was famous as a house of mixed martial artists; Luke was trained by his father, the master of the dojo, and the training he had to endure was harsher than any other students. Such training made Luke quick, and much stronger than others. Furthermore, he had talents for it too. However, it was not enough to defeat majin. The majin made its fall slow and the people who was fighting back to protect their love ones made their fall quicker. It looked like it was the end of their family and others. The fear was starting to creeping out to him and others. However, instead of succumb to fear that many would, Luke made his stance. It was this moment that he had awaken his strain. With sudden increased agility and power, he was able to defeat the majins, protecting everyone who was there; Luke smiled at them after delivering the finishing blow to final majin that attacked people. A moment later, the young talented martial artist’s smile slowly faded and he fall to the ground. Everything became dark, and he could only hear voices calling out his name. Soon that faded away as well. He was knocked out from exhaustion. How many days was he in hospital? Luke was not so sure, but when he woke up, his instinct told him that he had to make his escape. No, maybe, he knew what would happen to him if he gets hold by military of Kaddath… Without any second thought, using his martial art skills, he made out alive as the soldiers did not take him seriously for his age was young. How far did he walk and how far did he travel? It was matter of time for the soldiers to find out where he was and soon he knew in his heart that he would be captured one day. But was it his luck or was he unlucky? His tiresome run led to another encounter of majins, using his newly acquired power, majins were no match. However, that victory was short lived and was knocked out by the masked men and women; before he completely blacks out, he was able to ask who they were and the answer was that they were followers. The cold water was splashed to his face, and that rough awakening made Luke realized he was handcuffed to the pipes. The masked men and the masked women laughed, and one of them came close to him. The masked man told Luke that he should join the followers, if he wishes to enjoy the freedom of using his awaken strain. Luke declined, the man ‘s eyebrows and his tone of the voice send the signal he was not happy to hear Luke’s answer as the man stepped back, the bulky masked man stepped forward, cracking his hands. The others left the room, laughing. The bulky masked man started to kick and punch Luke mercilessly; the man’s punch and kick were nothing to brush off, but Luke, who had been sparring his dad and other adults with martial art, was able to use this opportunity to dislocate his fingers to free his hands from the cuff. After freeing himself, Luke quickly kicked the bulky masked man on his stomach. Luke did not give the bulky man a chance to retaliate. The man was knocked out by successful kicks from Luke. After relocating his fingers, he could hear some kind emergency alarm going off. It looked like something or someone else had infiltrated the place and he used golden opportunity to get away. After such miraculous escape, he found out that he no longer had bracelet that sends signal to the army of where he was. Luke took this opportunity to went hiding. Few weeks later, he heard the announcement made by the group Aegis; Luke decided to fight for their cause, however, what he did was nothing special. He only played the part to protect the people who had no powers to fight back. After everything was settled, victory of Aegis, fall of legion and Kaddath entering the new era; Luke returned to his family. However, he couldn’t spar with anyone as his battle for survivor had changed him. Even adults started to avoid Luke. Luke did not understand this at first, and continued with his training to prepare for championship. To his surprise, he was able to win the championship. However, he also started to hear what people were talking behind his back... In their eyes, Luke was not a martial artist, but beast. Disappointed at how people viewed him as a monster and how it was tarnishing his family's name, Luke gave up on becoming next head of his family dojo. The next head of the dojo was changed from Luke to Mark, an elder brother who decided to quit the army. Even then, Luke did not slack off his training as martial art kept him in focus. But, he also picked up new hobby for himself. Playing musical instruments and singing. As he learned musical instruments and singing songs, he was inspired by female singer (Rise); as her song had touched his heart, he started to follow her example to sing for the people. Not to show off how good he is, but wishing that the song he had written could also heal the scars of the people. He entered the university to become Song Writer and Composer.

"But I am not going to give up, I am not going to let the world push me around. "
"I am not saying it is easy, it took me awhile to stand on my feet too." "I still struggle, and I am still broken, like you are. But, I am going to sing it to you," "Don't give up now, don't give up now, don't give up, now." "You have struggled too much to give up now. Let's go through this together."
"I am not going to sing a song, that could heal your heart right away" "I am not going to sing a song, that could make your scar go away"

Personality: Belo is not a person who would start the conversation first; he is very unresponsive to the taunts and what others say about him. He is, however, hard worker and careful person. He is not flashy, nor show off. He is, in fact, very humble, and appreciative person. Affiliation: The Arusian Empire Status: The Arusian Empire Military Officer, government agent View on magic: Anti-Strain History:- Spoiler:
Belo’s family was not wealthy nor was fortunate; when he turned 12, he had to live through the streets of underground. He had to fight for his food; the only thing that had kept him going was his parents’ last words. “Belo, keep on living... Do not stop living...”
Belo lost his entire family due to the strange illness that made people weak. The only cure that doctor told 11 years boy was that he had to have his parents get out from the underground, and let them rest under the Sun.
Other way was to pay costly amount of money to have his parents and his siblings go through the treatment that allows them to rest under the light that has the similar property as a Sun.
Belo decided that he would go and ask others for help, but no one came for desperate cry of the boy.
His parents, fully aware of what he was trying to do; they told him it was unnecessary. The broken heart of Belo, broke even further as his younger siblings had told him the same thing to him.
He cried out loud to them, "Why are you guys giving up? Why are you guys not trying to fight it? I don't care about having debts, I don't care! Don't leave me behind!"
However, the family just smiled to him and they said it was their fate. Angry with what they had said, Belo ran away from the hospital. His heart, hurt and injured. But, he strengthened his resolve; he went to the street to find anyone willing to help the boy.
But, no one took the desperate boy's cry seriously.
When he finally came back to hospital, his siblings were already gone and his parents were on verge of dying. Belo's father and mother had softly whispered to him, smiling, "Son, I know it's hard to accept it... But, it was too late for us to change it. But you, you still can... So... Belo, keep on living... Do not stop living... We love you..."
That was the last time he heard his parents voice. The pendant was given to him on that day, saying that it was a gift from his late family. Inside the pendent, it had his family photo.
Belo cried and cursed them, shouting out loud that if they had this kind of money, they should have used it on their treatment... Even then, in his heart, he knew that this was their saying of they will be by his side.
That was his 12th birthday.
After losing all of his family, he went out to the street; he was picked on by richer kids and people with wealth treated him like a dog. Even then, he kept on trying his best to live.
He had stolen, and he had fought; but, 2 years later he was caught by the law enforcer of Russian Empire. Fortunately, instead of being punished heavily, he was given a choice of serving in the army of Russian Empire.
He took it and he had been training in the military camp since then. He soon became a brilliant military officer in combat. Hand to hand combat came naturally to him as he always been risking his life to survive on the street and he did not stop practicing his firearm skills, even though, many considered that he doesn't need it any more. Some even started to believe that he was just showing off.
However, such words did not make Belo flinch nor frown nor made him passive; he kept on training himself to become stronger officer.
He did not know why, but he knew he wanted one thing. Sunlight.

Personality: Personality: She is a strong woman, or is she? She is usually portrayed by her comrades as calm and cool person. Many people say how her smiles, cheers them. Her smiles does not look like fake smiles, but she does not tell her true feelings about herself and she is really good at hiding her true emotion. Affiliation: People’s Republic of Kaddath Status: Doctor & Medic View on magic: Anti-Strain History:- Spoiler:
When her power of her strain was discovered she was happy; as a person who was persuading medical field, Dia strain that awaken inside her looked like a gift from God. Not just others, but herself as well thought it that way.
To use her Strain even better and also to put her skill as a doctor to the test, she enrolled herself to the Grand Army of Kaddath. The moment to put her skill to the test came earlier than expected as well, saving special agent who had valuable information of Legion.
And that man became her lover as well.
As the fight between Kaddath and Legion heading to its end, her lover proposed to her. "Would you marry me, Nadenka Orlov? I know I cannot offer you a lot, but I promise you. I will do my best to make you smile everyday!"
And she said "Yes."
However, her lover could not keep that promise. He returned to her as a cold body, a dead man.
She taught about killing herself, but it was the last will written by her lover that prevented her from doing so.
"If you are reading this, I guess I couldn't keep my promise. Well, I guess you are meant to meet better man than me. Don't give up your life, love, you are still needed in this world. Hopefully when we meet up in heaven, you have lots of stories to tell me."
He probably had said that to cheer her up, but it broke her heart further. "That idiot... How... How could he expect.. expect me to....expect me to live on....without him..." She mourned for his death for days.
Soon after, she quit her position in the army.
When Kaddath entered new era, she joined army once more. Many were surprised of her return. She told them, "I am not the only one who has scar of losing someone, if I could do to make them feel better... with my powers... I want to be here."
There was, however, another reason for her return... He was slowly disappearing from her memory; he was starting to fade... Right now, she could not remember his touch... She could not remember his voice clearly anymore...He was becoming "a man who she loved dearly in the past"... However, she was not going to make him disappear... She did not want to let him go... She did not want him to be "the past"... Even many might view her as a foolish girl, if trapping herself into the past is what she needed to do to keep her memories of him alive, then she was going to do that.
She also couldn't shake off the feeling that it was the strain that started all this war... The Dia strain that she thought of it as a gift from God, she now looked at it as cursed from God.

| James Carter- Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: James Carter Core value: “I will protect the ones I love. With everything I have. Always.”Age: 24 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: James is an idealistic young man that is willing to put himself into harms way to protect someone he cares about. This will also cause him to act reckless and daring, even though he usually more down-to-earth. Contrary to most guys, he is not physically overpowering and can be quite empathetic and emotional. His main character flaw are his social skills, that make him feel quite uncomfortable in front of people and let him act shy and awkward, especially around strangers. He is left-handed, quite intelligent and knows his way around computers and just like his sister, very curious. His fear of confined spaces is still there, but not as severe as a few years ago, however, he developed the habit of talking in his sleep. Also, he is usually tardy and often loses track of time, which coincides with his love of sleeping in late. Affiliations: People's Republic of Kaddath, Aegis Status: graduate student of the University View on magic: Anti-Strain History: James and Lenka grew up in a small town near Gemnity in rather poor neighbourhood. They were raised by a loving family in simple circumstances. James spent most of his time sifting through the junk yard or in his room, building gadgets and improving his computer skills. Soon he began to work for the parts he needed and as he excelled at developing new computer technology, he founded a company. Yet, since he was still young, his immaturity and rebellious character made this company for him nothing more than a toy, something to support his ideas and developments with money. Knowing he still could learn more and become an even better programmer, he went off to college. There he met with a highly regarded professor who introduced him to a Liaison officer from the army. Impressed by James's skills, he was granted a military contract for his company, putting a whole new responsibility on him. Shortly after he started college, his magic gene manifested. However, he already had his military contract and was able to convince the Liaison officer that he was more useful if he finished his studies and expanded his contract. The military agreed, however insisted that he completed the basic army training and would continue working with them after his studies were done. In his second year of college, one day he accidentally witnessed a majin attack where the student survived by activating his magic. Curious as he was, he followed him and the events that followed would change his life. For the first time he found friends he didn’t want to lose. His company and everything he had worked for was lost. He fought for something good, something that would change the world, saving it some would say. Though, humble as he was, James usually argued that he only played a small part. In the end, he decided to have his magic strain silenced. He also found someone he loved. When he finally returned to the university after these events, he had changed. His priorities were less self-centered and his mind had matured to be more responsible. However deep down, he remained that geeky shy young man full of ideals. In his last year of university, his sister Lenka also joined the university and having always cared deeply for her, he was glad to spend more time with her. Now the graduation ceremony is nearing and because he had his magic silenced he is free to do whatever he wants. Weapons: two katanas Strain(s): former Zio strain user Lenka Carter- Spoiler:

Personality: Lenka is an upbeat, cheerful person that can sometimes come across as hyperactive. She is spontaneous, talkative and entertaining and far less shy than James. Her warm, generous and empathic disposition make her an easy person to talk to. However, there is also a stubborn side to her where she will follow through with any decision she made or follow up on her curiosity even when warned against it, all for the sake of adventure. As far as physical appearance goes, she is not the most impressive, but doing gymnastics helped keep her in a certain shape. Aside from gymnastics, she enjoys reading and cooking. Affiliations: People's Republic of Kaddath, Aegis Status: first year student at the University View on magic: Pro-Strain History: James and Lenka grew up in a small town near Gemnity in rather poor neighbourhood. They were raised by a loving family in simple circumstances. Even though James spent most of his time sifting through the junk yard or in his room, she still felt cared for by her older brother. Throughout her life, Lenka experienced dizzy or fainting spells. None of the doctors they went to could give her an explanation and they all arrived at the conclusion that she simply had a fragile disposition. However this did not stop her in pursuing her dreams and goals. She is still quite life-affirming and refuses to be treated like a breakable doll. In James’ last year of university, Lenka also joined the university to study political history and reach her goal of becoming a political journalist. Weapons: chain-whip (will be acquired along the journey) Note: she will activate her strain at some point during the journey.

In stressful or combat situations she usually dauntless and confident but seldom reckless. In private she is quite sociable and empathic and once she gets to know a person she can be quite talkative. Due to her upbringing, she had the traditional views of her people and thinks science has the answer to everything. Quite contrary to that, she is sometimes quite superstitious, especially when it comes to things and people from Kaddath. Affiliations: Arusian Empire Status: Arusian Empire Government Agent View on magic: Anti-Strain History: Ehlana was born in the Arusian Empire into a higher class family. Her parents are scientists with a high contribution to the development of technology. This allowed Ehlana to receive an elite education. However, when it was her time to be chosen for a career, she failed the “scientist” entrance exam (labeled as not smart enough). She was pushed towards a military/government career instead. This development alienated her from her parents. When the magic user from Kaddath arrived, she was chosen along with a small elite of government agents to train with him and then go to Kaddath to inject strain users with nano-insects to turn them into pseudo-Leviathans. Weapons: metal bo staff, magnetic lock in the middle, able to separate into two additional weapons to hunt strain users: - Scouter (scans for strain users) - Mental Barrier Shield (metal bands around wrists, ankles and neck provide a thin energy barrier that repels magic spells that target the mind up to 3 times) - Crossbow and electrostatic bolts (shooting the bolts at the magic circle will shatter it (tier 1-2) and prevent the spell from being released or pin it into place (tier 3 or above) and cause a delayed release - Injection syringe for strain corruption Strain(s): none Kurik Akatsuki- Spoiler:
Player: Noin Name: Kurik Akatsuki Core value: “All of mankind are equal and they shouldn’t be separated by magic.”Age: 28 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Kurik used to be a quietly, cheerful young man, however after the events with his best friend, he changed into a more calm person that always seems a little angry or sad. Yet he has not lost hope that his actions can change something. Generally, Kurik is a honest person, pragmatic, however in high stress situations that get the adrenaline running, it can easily happen that he acts rash and even reckless. He is not always the most thoughtful, but very open minded towards new things and ideas. His social skills are engaging, but not overly talkative. By joining the Arusian Empire on their quest, he is also fulfilling his own goal of fighting against the current structures to force about a change. Since the event with his best friend, he is suffering from insomnia and to calm himself down he picked up woodworking/wood carving. Affiliations: Arusian Empire Status: defector of the Grand Army of Kaddath View on magic: inclined to be Anti-Strain History: Kurik was brought up in the middle-class district of Caltha by his mother. She worked very hard to provide for her son. When he was only 6 years old, his father died while on a military mission. Originally Kurik had wanted to pursue a more peaceful trade, but when he was 20 years, his magic gene manifested and slightly unwilling he joined the military. With him his best childhood friend Talen joined, even though he had no magic. Together they went through the military training and went on countless missions together. During the fight against the Legion, they were stationed near the Belfort Industrial Region. After the fall of the Leviathan, their task was to round up any of the remaining Legion followers at the borders of Kaddath. During this mission at the eastern border of Kaddath there was a surprise attack followed by a rockslide. They fell into a crevice and Talen was half buried under rock and Kurik was quite hurt himself. When rescue finally came, they only had orders to evacuate Kurik, seeing that he was magic user and Talen was apparently more expendable. An enraged Kurik refused to leave his best childhood friend and without thinking he lashed out with his magic, knocking the two officers unconscious that had come to rescue him. He tried to stay with his friend, but it was too late. Talen died in his arms just a few minutes later. Distraught and hurt himself, Kurik began the long climb out of the crevice and stumbled away. He just kept walking and walking for days, overwhelmed by sadness and anger until suddenly he found himself in a cave. What made him stop was a stone gate. His confused mind tried to make sense of what he saw. Why was there a man-made structure in the middle of nowhere and days away from the last known border of Kaddath? Suddenly the gate opened and he found himself facing a two men with weapons. He was still conscious enough to realize that their faces looked uncharacteristically un-Kaddathian. “Help me please” he whispered and then passed out. Accidentally, he had stumbled across the Arusian Empire that was located underground. By chance their council had decided to help him instead of killing him. He had found a safe haven and with it a way to exact his revenge on the government for believing that his friend was worth less than somebody who could use magic. Kurik began to provide the Arusian Empire with insider information on the army and strain users and helped them develop weapons to fight more effectively against people using magic. Finally he was able to convince them that the time was right to reveal their existence to certain people, a group of Old Loyalists that had their own plans. He then began to train with a selected group of government agents to prepare.

| Alina Grey - Spoiler:
Name: Alina Grey Core Value: "Justice sees all, hears all, knows all, and tells all. Let no one think themselves above it, lest they be trampled beneath its feet." Age: 29 Appearance:- Spoiler:
Personality: Alina is a true idealist, and believes in working hard to achieve a better world, a trait that her father instilled in her from a young age. She was also taught to respect authority, and although these two traits have helped her be successful in the military, they also make her somewhat overzealous in following her ideals. In public, she's a hero of the people, and has no trouble dealing with whatever situation she happens to be placed in, but outside of her duties, Alina is a somewhat awkward woman. Since her mother died while she was young, she was never taught how a lady should act, but was instead raised with her father's knightly pride. Affiliations: Praetorate, Grand Army of Kaddath Status: Commander of Terra Firma Division Views on magic: Pro-strain History:- Spoiler:
Alina has no memory of her mother, who died of some disease while she was only two. In order to cope with his wife's death, her father tried his best to be there for his daughter whenever possible, and if she ever missed her mother's presence, Alina never let it show. Instead, she followed closely in her father's footsteps. Even as a child, she had already learned the sword, and many of the other nobles were appalled by the fact that she'd rather be fencing than playing with dolls, like the other girls her age.
Despite her protests, her father did send Alina off to a private school for a few years, where she was educated in the things that he himself couldn't teach her, but the two of them maintained contact through letters, and after the first few weeks, it was obvious that she didn't resent him for his decision.
When she returned from the school, Alina began dealing in small matters of the court that her father didn't have the time to deal with, and within the course of a year or two, she had developed somewhat of a reputation amongst the nobles. Clearly, she wasn't what they were used to, and that was only made more obvious when she enrolled into the military to follow in her father's footsteps, footsteps that would eventually lead her to taking over his position as Commander when he fell ill and could no longer continue his duties.
She had always thought that she would return his position to him when he got better, but Alina learned of her father's passing one night when she returned from a diplomatic mission. It was obvious that she was crushed by the news, and for a time, High Command thought of removing her from her father's position. Afraid that she would lose the ability to carry on his legacy if she no longer held his position, Alina pulled herself back together to resume her command.
During the conflict that followed, Alina was ousted from her position as Commander. Following the death of her half-sister, she became the figurehead of Aegis, helping them to bring about revolution, at which point she was named the new High General of Kaddath. Putting her ideals into action, she immediately began setting into motion various reforms on both the social and political fronts within the country. Weapons: Rapier Strain(s): Bufu Spells:Bufu – shoots an icicle at the target Mabufu – shoots a spread of five icicles at the target/s; cause frost damage on impact Bufula – creates a wall of ice that shoots toward the target, slamming into them and shattering on impact into shrapnel. Mabufula – shoots a larger wall of ice that shoots toward the target/s Ice Amp - increases power of ice spells; overcomes another spell of equal tier White Wall - negates a first or second tier ice spell and greatly reduces damage from third tier ice spells Overlimit:Crown of Swords - The air around Alina rapidly drops in temperature, and the moisture it contained forms into an icy tiara on her head. Anyone without ice magic nearby will suffer from sluggish movement, due to rapidly decreasing core temperature. Alina may also remove the tiara and throw it at a target, at which point it will grow in diameter, reaching a maximum size of 2 meters across before the jagged edges that it is made of expand inward, impaling anything within its confines with blades of ice. Conjuring Style: Brings her rapier to her chest, pointing the blade skyward. Casting Style: Slashes downward at an angle, pointing the blade of her rapier at the ground and off to the side.
Lisa - Spoiler:
Name: Lisa Core Value: "The power of choice means everything." Age: 24 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: Lisa is incredibly strict with herself, and is constantly trying to improve herself. Over time, she has learned not to force this trait onto others around her, but she is more than happy to help others better themselves as well, provided they ask. Lisa has a protective side that's often seen when one of her juniors is in trouble, although she is nonviolent by nature, avoiding unnecessary confrontation where possible. Lisa has a deep-seated fear of situations where she has no control, but that fear seldom comes to the surface. Affiliations: Aegis Status: Member View on magic: Pro-strain History: - Spoiler:
At the age of four, Lisa's family was taken from her in one fell swoop. Both of her parents well killed in a vehicle accident, and sometime later, the foster care system decided to place her sister in a different home. Without anything else to cling to, the young Lisa accepted her new family incredibly quickly. Of course, she still felt the pain of her losses, but they were there to wipe away her tears, and in time, they became as close to Lisa as her real family had been.
As the years passed, the wounds healed, but Lisa strived for excellence in everything she did, constantly trying to live up to her foster parents' expectations, even though all they wanted was for her to enjoy her new lease on life. On her 14th birthday, the first letter arrived. It was addressed to Lisa, but from an address she didn't recognize, and her foster mother had given it to her with a sad look in her eyes. She let the letter sit on her desk for almost a month before she finally worked up the courage to open it.
The contents were life-changing. Inside the envelope was a picture of her and her sister when they were children and a letter telling her what her sister had been up to during the ten years since they were separated. With tears in her eyes, Lisa composed a letter of her own in response. She wasn't entirely sure what to write, but there was one thing she wanted to convey in the letter. A part of her life that she had thought she'd never be able to get back had returned to her, and she was incredibly happy about that.
From then on, the letters kept coming, at first infrequently, but with time they came more often, and Lisa made sure to reply to each of them. Whenever one of them would change locations, they would send their new address in the next letter, and without ever actually talking in person, the two of them reconnected with each other. It was also during this time that Lisa took up archery as a club activity, which she seemed to have some talent for. Due to her high aptitude scores, Lisa was admitted to a large university, where she met the original members of Aegis.
The conflict that followed, and the things she endured as a result, severly altered Lisa's mindset. Upon returning to the university, she became less outgoing for a time, retreating into her own mind. After several months of semi-seclusion, Lisa returned to an active life and changed her university path to psychology, vowing to help others who found themselves in a similar situation to the one she had been in during the conflict. Weapons: A pouch containing several handfulls of metallic balls. Strain(s): Garu Spells: All Overlimit: Hidden Hand - After touching an object, Lisa is able to manipulate the air currents around it for as long as her magic is applied to it. This can be used on multiple objects at the same time, but the number and size of objects affected does influence the effectiveness of the magic. Conjuring Style: Lisa takes a deep breath, and holds it for a second. Casting Style: Lisa raises a single arm towards her target, releasing the spell.
Marcus Troy - Spoiler:
Name: Marcus Troy Core Value: "The greatest weapon that we possess is hope. You may strip the very muscles from my bones, but so long as I have hope, I will still carry on." Age: 19 Appearance: - Spoiler:
Personality: A product of Kaddath's foster care system, Marcus has been on his own since before he can remember. He came out stronger for it though. Self-sufficient and somewhat of a prankster, Marcus loves underdog stories, and despite constantly being given the short end of the stick, he's actually a nice guy. Marcus is very guarded with his emotions though, having learned that it's harder to get hurt if you never take the time to get attached. Beneath it all, it's hope that drives him, and he's mesmerized by people who can hope openly, wishing he had the courage to do the same. Affiliations: Aegis Status: University Student View on magic: Pro-strain History: - Spoiler:
Marcus' surname may be Troy, but he's not even sure who gave it to him. For as far back as he can remember, he was skipping from one foster home to the next. Some of the others envied him, saying that it's best to not remember anything before, but Marcus has never been sure if he agrees with them or not. Most of the homes are a blur in his mind, as he didn't spend enough time in them for attachments to develop. Of the ones he does remember, most aren't thought of fondly.
At first, Marcus tried to fit in with his temporary families, but over time, he came to realize that they were exactly that. Temporary. After that, Marcus began playing pranks as a coping mechanism to his situation, in hopes of moving on quickly. This new development often landed Marcus in trouble. Some cases were worse than others, and punishment varied from one family to the next. Throughout the years, he endured everything from beatings to banishment.
That all changed when Marcus was transferred to the facility run by Lecarde though. Despite his efforts to avoid attachment, Lecarde displayed a stubbonness unlike any Marcus had ever seen. Over the course of a year, he allowed himself to, for the first time in years, become comfortable in his situation. Pranking was too ingrained into his personality to remove, but during his two years under Lecarde's care, Marcus matured greatly. He became somewhat of an older brother to the other orphans at the facility.
Even after entering university, Marcus continued to visit the children there, and it was during one of these visits that his strain was discovered. When an old outbuilding began to collapse with two of the orphans inside, Marcus pulled them from the falling building in an instant, only realizing after the fact what had actually happened. Unsure of whether or not to keep his strain, a gift when he has been given so few, Marcus consulted another student at the university with a habit of helping other people solve their problems. Weapons: Falchion Strain(s): Kaja Spells: Rakukaja, Marakukaja, Tarukaja, Sukukaja, Makakaja Overlimit: Rattle the Cage - Marcus focuses his magic inwards, multiplying its strength on himself. The immense scale of power contained within causes his body to grow physically, but it puts an incredible strain on his mind. While in this state, Marcus has immense strength and durability, as well as improved reflexes, but he is completely ruled by his emotions, which are like an exposed nerve. Marcus cannot willingly end this state if he is emotionally distressed. Conjuring Style: Arm extended towards the ground, palm up. Casting Style: Fingers of the extended arm close tightly and the arm is raised upwards, bending at the elbow.
