so civilian characters are a thing

(click to show/hide)

Name: Geoffrey Gorschelt
"I do believe you've just been... served? I apologize, I don't know what you hooligans spout nowadays."

Appearance: A rather old man in his late seventies, wearing a typical butler's outfit: a standard black tuxedo with a pair of spectacles adorning his face. Always sports an emotionless expression on his face, although he does express emotions from time to time.

Personality: Loyal and wise, Geoffrey's loyalties are to the Satevis bloodline, having served them for decades. He speaks in an old-fashioned manner, respecting those around him and taking care to politely serve those who are welcomed inside the manor. He honors the wishes of his master, and politely shoos or warns away those who wish to enter the mansion for... undesirables, sometimes culminating in quiet elimination. Unlike most butlers, he doesn't share the same snide remarks or condescending behavior, preferring to act professional when addressing others.

Backstory: Geoffrey's ties with the Satevis family go way back before you were born. Born as the eighth of his generation, his duties and loyalties to the family are second to none. He's tasked with standard butler duties of the household: doing laundry, preparing meals, and cleaning up the carcasses of those unlucky to have wondered in his master's confusing mansion. Much of his past is rather long and vague, with the only reasonable guesses being that he owes some sort of debt, or he just really enjoys his job. He currently watches over the Satevis Mansion and Astraea's comatose body, willingly waiting his master's return.

Abilities/Powers:

Magnetic/Electric Manipulation: Geoffrey can control magnetic forces, allowing him to attract or repel those affected by the charges on his projectiles. He can later followup by summoning lightning directly on his charged target, or manipulating his opponent towards him and providing a shocking facepalm. Uses these in tandem with...

Stainless Steel: Geoffrey carries an arrangement of durable and sharp looking utensils on his person, consisting of forks, knives, pots, pans, and the occasional spoon. Generally not too useful unless his opponent has been charged, in which these become a barrage of sharp, heavy, high-speed projectiles. Geoffrey carries what seems to be an endless supply, so their numbers are as limited to how many he can throw at a time.

Magnetic Sphere: Recieved from a recent expedition to lands unknown, this tome has the ability to summon orbs of condensed lightning, which travel slowly and shock those close to it.

Resourcefulness: Geoffrey never fails to find the information he seeks, whether it be from the mansion's library or from "outside sources". Geoffrey also has a phenominal memory, assisting him with recognizing those who are welcome and those who are not.

Other: Geoffrey's connections are various and not restricted solely to Cutopia, with some of them rumoring to span entire dimensions.

final guy although it's fairly obvious who it is

(click to show/hide)

Name: Thaddeus "ThatGuy74" Guy the Seventy-Fourth (Post War)(Previous Entry Here)
King of the World

"I hereby declare you to repeat after me: I will never take on a king again!"

Appearance: He appears to be a young man in his early to mid twenties, with short, black hair and of a somewhat skinny build. His outward appearance is mostly defined by his snazzy white jacket, trademark frameless glasses, and a pair of ordinary denims, finishing it off with a pair of white sneakers. He wears a set of double holsters on his waist, and carries a solid gold scepter with his right hand, utilizing it in a cane-like fashion.

Personality: As "King of the World", he acts as a rather serious individual, taking care to act similarly to how a king would act. He shares the same personality in battle as well as a competitive drive, making sure to face his opponents with the eager desire to win. Outside of battle, he's friendly yet stern and somewhat sarcastic, unafraid to share his own opinions bluntly, despite the reactions he might receive from those who hear them. He shares a softer side to his comrades and friends, who he deeply cares for.

Backstory:

Thaddeus Guy, alias "That Guy or whatever" from most who knew him, started off as an ordinary adventurer, taking on difficult jobs in order to further hone his skills and satisfy his hunger for self-improvement. One particularly dangerous job required the investigation of a certain castle, which others deemed suicidal due to the lack of people who returned. Extremely confident of his abilities, he took the job, entering the castle with only the sword on his back and his own experience. Here, he met a younger Albus Castle, and obtained the legendary Yoshitsuna, a sword rumored to be finely tuned with the dimensions themselves. However, the extreme amount of dimensional energy released caused both of them to be warped to alternate dimensions, with TG warping to the dimension of Cutopia. Here, he met and formed a group with a few others and slowly took control over the underworld of Agorix, gaining power and the title "King of the World".

He later began the "Canonization" project afterwards, hoping to fix the dimensional boundaries of a clashing dimension through a mix of Digital Construction and a limitless supply of energy, supplied by his own powers. He worked on the Sky Fortress with his friend, Dr. Castle, along with Synthia, Julius, and Gale. His project came to a fatal end, with himself and the fortress exploding along with said dimension. Count Nostalgia, after reading about this legendary "King", decided to resurrect him as his second-in-command, applying some sort of mind-control to keep him at his beck and call. Extremely unhappy but willing to fight, he faced the ten heroes in combat multiple times, in order to stop them from interfering with the Count's goals.

After his final defeat by the heroes, he managed to free himself from the Count's mind control, escaping the unstable dimension completely intact and saving them in turn. Hearing of Pryona's increasing corruption three years after the Gamma Incident, he hired a set of adventurers to investigate Pryona City, hoping to reveal their hidden agenda.

Weapons/Other Abilities:

Energy Manipulation: TG has the ability to control energy, using it in tandem with a device known as the Infinite Energy Drive. He's able to utilize it inside his own body to shoot lasers, generate explosions, and infuse it with his own body or his weapons. This allows him some resistance to magic and projectiles, as he can absorb some of the energy used in those attacks.
  -Infinite Energy Drive: This device provides unlimited amounts of energy, as its name would state. However, the total amount of energy is highly dependent on how much the user's body can contain, and the regeneration rate is rather slow. Where he obtained this device is unknown, but it's rumored to have some connection with his "other" self.

Swordsmanship: TG's skills with the blade are unparalleled, with only a few able to catch up with his fearsome speed. He uses a total of four blades in battle, although he can only use one at a time, and it takes some time to switch between blades.

Yoshitsuna - The power sword of his collection, seen as a gigantic rectangular blade decorated with rune symbols. It has the power to slash those at a distance, along with shoot sword waves at others. It's fairly heavy, though. Energized, this sword surrounds itself with electricity, able to summon deadly lightning bolts at the location of his opponents, along with the ability to create a slash that tears through dimensions. The Yoshitsuna has an inherited power of restoring energy when he strikes a hit, giving him more energy to use at his disposal. It carries an abnormal amount of dimensional power, and can rend and repair tears in the dimensional fabric.

Pixeltana - A one handed sword resembling something similar to a pixelated laser blade, this sword is his go-to sword for combat. It specializes in quick strikes, allowing easy followup attacks with large priority and multiple combo options. It can also release a wave of energy along the ground, utilized from either the air or the ground.

Valmanway - A sword blessed by the wind. This sword unleashes many slices at once, without TG needing to do anything. Incredibly powerful and fast, it slices even the toughest of opponents to bits in a matter of seconds. He doesn't even have to swing it, it just does the slicing for him. It's still a considerable drain to his power, as it uses himself as an energy source. Often used in close range, and powers fall off at any distance not directly in front of him.

Red Remembrance - A sword dedicated to a previous friend, this sword has the power to cause fire in wherever it points (ex: like if he points at a tree, it will be engulfed in flames. People and living animations require more of a "charge" time.) It can create fire pillars, fireballs, and even a stream of flame. Charged up, a fiery image of Red appears and rushes forwards, causing a fiery inferno to erupt wherever he strikes.

Dual Pistols: TG carries a set of pistols used in case of emergency, although he rarely uses them.

The King's Royal Scepter: The rod of legends. Heavily joked about by a certain catgirl, she was later mortified to realize the item itself is very real, which the king provided the courtesy of a free "knighting" - promptly whacking her on the noggin. The scepter is made of pure orichalcum, along with several rare jewels encrusted on the side. Along with providing a blunt weapon for the king, it also amplifies the King's Ergokinesis abilities, so lasers and blasts of energy are amplified exponentially. It also makes a wonderful cane outside of battle!

Other: -He has a soft spot for his secretary, Synthia, and wonders what happened in the time he's been gone. He's been on a few adventures too with TGOT and others, under various aliases.
-He prefers to be called by his initials, and his real name is currently unknown.
-He really hates mind control, after being the victim of it several times.
-He's on good terms with the resident changeling TGOT, and continues to support his annoyance towards certain other residents in Cutopia.

(click to show/hide)

Insanity: During his jump to Cutopia, he met and fused with himself from an alternate dimension, obtaining an alternate personality that arises from certain stimuli. In this state, the King becomes more reckless and arrogant, along with gaining an enhanced sense of paranoia and attacking anyone on sight. Allows him the use of the Last Set.

Negative Aura: Instead of using energy expelled from his own body via the IED, he instead prefers to absorb the energy of others by the use of an aura of negative energy surrounding his person, and by contact, adding it to his own reserve or health pool. Along with using this to absorb an enemy's life force or negating attacks, he can return this corrupted energy back to its sender through forced contact, ensuring inexplicable amounts of pain or death.

The Last Set - TG can only use these swords in his insanity mode - He can't use his other four swords. His final set.

Nyx's Edge - The alternate version of Thatguy's Yoshitsuna. When charged, this sword unleashes a huge wave of dark energy, capable of voiding anything unfortunate in its path. It also has the uncanny ability to "curse" whatever weapon it hits, and make it unusable for a time. However, it takes a while for him to swing it (unlike the Yoshitsuna, it's very heavy) and it cannot attack at a range, instead relying on close combat.

Muramasa - This is an alternate form of the Valmanway. Although he actually has to swing it, and it doesn't have that whirl of blades that the Valmanway has, it relies much more on accuracy, and it's power increases with each hit it takes. The more hits, the more power and speed it gains. At max strength, it can strike 7 times with one slice. Creates a vacuum effect, ensuring hits and absorbing energy with each slice.

Sevenspiracy - An alternate version of TG's pixeltana. This allows access to powerful spells in all elemental areas. Most would regard this as his most powerful weapon in his insane state, and many theorize that it is the main source of his insanity itself.

Spells/Specials
Inferno - Summons an intense amount of fire, turning the battle field into a flaming hell.
Tempest - Summons a very powerful gust of wind.
Scintillation - Summons a powerful electrical wave, shorting out any machines and dealing massive electrical damage.
Dark Megiddo - Summons a powerful dark explosion, mortally wounding whatever it touches.
Blizzard Storm - Creates a giant blizzard, along with turning the entire battlefield to ice.
Storm of Blades - Summons thousands of blades to surround the enemy, eventually heading towards them.
Greatest Seven - Summons his shadow versions of his allies to lay a beatdown on the enemy.
       -Time Stop - Summons SaviorSword, who appears and stops time for 7 seconds, allowing TG to move around with ease in the frozen time.
       -Reckless Flare - Summons Red, who throws two large spears made of fire.
       -Needle Storm - Summons Bluebrawl, who shoots a barrage of needles.
       -Nightmare Express - Summons Brawlman, who punches with the power of a train three times, finishing with an upper.
       -Acceleration - Summons Turbodude, who runs over anything in his way with his bike.
       -Divine Hurricane - Summons Ventus, who summons a giant hurricane and launches it.

Anything Goes / Thanks to Ken too

« on: January 11, 2014, 03:59:22 AM »

Last two characters I'm posting in a row, before I post the final one. Big thanks to CF for helping me proofread these since my brain hurts

(click to show/hide)

Name: Julius D.
The Elusive Joker
“I'll be taking that, thank you. Maybe next time you'll learn not to underestimate a bard, ehh?”

Appearance: A man in his mid-twenties, wearing a standard adventure getup of a tunic with a brown jacket, and a pair of leather boots. He has a scruffy beard and moustache, along with medium brown hair hidden by a fancy fedora. Usually carries an instrument with him at all times, along with a rapier on his side and a leather whip.

Personality: A bard by trade, he’s puts on a very friendly facade towards others, but can be very sly and sassy when the situation calls for it, and his loyalties are to those who pay him. Full of wit and quite mysterious, he enjoys being nonchalant towards serious situations or people, and has a weird sense of humor not easily understood by many. Towards those he trusts, he's a bit of a tease- especially towards the more emotional types. Loves magical objects, along with fine dancing and music.

Backstory: Many stories float around about Julius’s past, from a rich nobleman being related to some ancient bloodline to being a man who lives through cheating others, but a general consensus is that no one other than Julius (and possibly Arle) knows of his past (plus it's rumored that he himself made most of those rumors up). He lives as a traveling wanderer, working for the highest bidder. He was once tasked as a hired scout and information gatherer for the King, and assigned the job of keeping tabs on his foes, along with performing as an entertainer for when the King got bored. His knowledge on magic along with other topics of Cutopia made him a welcome addition to the team, and he quickly rose to the ranks of TG’s trusted four.
As of now, he’s back to wandering the streets of Cutopia, once again without a job. Feel free to recruit him- he’s a damn good performer. Of course, his services are dependent on how much you pay him, so please take note of that.

Weapons/Abilities: Fencing: Much like his sharp wit, Julius’s swordsmanship is his expertise, being able to strike quickly with absolute finesse and grace. He’s not a fan of killing, so he’ll utilize it to disarm, threaten, or wound his foe to escape.

Whip Proficiency: Julius has a decent understanding of how a whip works, and he’ll generally use it to disarm his opponents or to trip them up, preferring this instead of using his rapier. After all, it reduces the risk of cutting his opponent, and he doesn't want to accidentally slash their hand apart.

All-Purpose Magic: Julius is the jack-of-all-trades when it comes to this. Generally he’ll use standard spells of misdirection to confuse or trick his opponents, but he also has access to a majority of high level spells of all elements, and he isn’t afraid to spam them if he decides he’s in trouble. Ice spells are his favorite to use, freezing his opponents solid when he needs to run away.

THE POWER OF MUSIC: Being a bard, entertaining others is his specialty. He’s able to summon any instrument he desires, bafflling his audience with spectacle, to the point where he’s able to make an entire audience fall asleep or die under the right circumstances. Of course, he can apply other effects to his own allies, inspiring competence, improving courage, persuading others, healing wounds, and gaining resistance from the charms of others. Playing an instrument is also fun when he has nothing else to do.

Bloody Strings: A blood-red harp whose strings share the same qualities as said namesake, found through his adventures with another group of fine fellows. With a simple stroke of the strings, this bloody instrument plays a haunting requiem, draining the life force of those who listen to it while simultaneously recovering his own health. Julius usually pulls out this when serious or threatened, as the recovery rate is abnormally high.

Desperation Move: I ain't no spoony bard!  - Julius freezes time, grabbing his opponent with his whip and summoning a huge axe guitar, which he then smashes repeatedly on his opponent. Finally, he freezes his opponent with an Ice-3, summons a pair of shades, and strums a loud power chord, breaking his opponent with a final cry of YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Other: -He knows a variety of topics, which is why he’s a big fan of quiz shows and the like.
-Recently been seen around the "Q-niversity", taking a special interest to the library held within.
-Dragons hate his guts. Arle greatly distrusts him, although they've been getting on better terms recently.

and the last secondary character I'm posting in a row

(click to show/hide)

Name: Gale
The Uncontrollable Ace
“…Pathetic.”

Appearance: In his cloaked form, Gale is mostly unrecognizable, with only the top of his head showing above his cloak. Without the cloak, he resembles Terukasaga, but with golden, blank eyes. Carries the legendary sword Tozara into battle along with a sturdy, retractable lance.

Personality: He’s incredibly silent, but very brutal in battle. Loyal to the point he’d go through hell to get his job done. Carries an insane streak when he’s using his full power, in which he’s completely unstoppable. Recently, however, his original personality seems to be resurfacing, along with his old memories. Whether this is for better or for worse is up to interpretation, however.

Backstory: The first success of the Canonization project led by ThatGuy, which consisted of resurrecting the fallen Terukasaga’s body with another person’s soul, and amplifying his wind powers to phenomenal heights. He served as the other bodyguard for TG, and his whereabouts are currently unknown after the Sky Fortress Incident.

Weapons/Abilities: Tozara: A legendary sword taken from an assassin of Teru’s past, it allows him complete control over the wind, providing standard wind spells such as hurricanes and the like. It’s rather slow and heavy, but can send opponents flying with a single swipe of the blade. It also can be thrown at ridiculous speeds at his opponent to catch them off-guard, and his finisher is a gigantic shockwave created by the dark waves of wind surrounding the blade.

Wind Proficiency: Gale has been granted the true power of the wind, so he no longer requires his blade to use his wind powers. He can infuse his body with this to create powerful physical techniques in battle, which makes combat without his weapon deadly. This also gives him his fabled Ridrentum ability, with which he’s able to move at incredibly fast speeds and fly.

Null and Void: Gale's able to surround himself with a vortex of wind, dragging both his opponent and any debris towards him. After a while, he can release anything contained in the vortex at high speeds, pelting anything within a large radius with debris caught inside the vortex, including those unfortunate to be sucked within.

Lance: Gale’s retractable, 0.8 meter lance can be used as both a distance weapon and as backup if he loses his blade. It focuses more on quick and pinpointed strikes, and can be extended to three times its length. Can be thrown to summon a cyclone, similar to Tornado Hold.

Desperation Move: The Dark Wind Howls... - Gale summons a tornado of wind to suck his opponent in, unleashing a deadly rave of attacks and ending it with a dark scar of wind, flinging away what little remains.

Other: -He has an unexplainable hate towards Ventus, which even he doesn’t quite understand.
-Although he seems emotionless, he also has moments of inner conflict, due to the two conflicting personalities of the original Terukasaga and the new soul currently inhabiting his body.

Anything Goes / well that leaves 3 more I guess

« on: January 10, 2014, 03:46:12 AM »

I guess I'll update every day or something

(click to show/hide)

Name: Astraea Satevis (Post War) Previous Entry Here
The Mercurial Princess
"Make any comments on my stature, and I'll give the term "airhead" a whole new meaning."

Appearance: As one still used to her noble social stature, she dresses in princess attire, along with fair blond hair and a golden crown on top. Fairly short, which she hates to be reminded of.

Personality: Arrogance along with a hint of haughty, a dash of snark, sprinkled with Narcissism, and all blended together with rich, snobby class. She takes the contemptuous traits of her brother and multiplies it by seven, and her mood changes as fast as the wind. She sees other human life as insignificant compared to herself, and will use human resources for her own gains.

Background: The childish and spoiled sister of Antares, who can be seen as his foil. Originally an unwilling test subject of a very special experiment, to see if the essence of a god could be combined with a human, to be later used as a weapon against an opposing city. Unfortunately, this backfired terribly, as she went berserk and killed all the inhabitants in the city, proclaiming herself to be the princess of the now ruined kingdom. She was later used as the host of the World Ender Leviathan, summoned through a mad cultist by the name of Barlowe. After Leviathan was forcibly removed from her body, her entire mind suffered the equivalent of a BSOD and she fell into an indefinite coma. However, some of her remaining spirit binded into her knife, currently in possession of her brother, Antares, which he discovered during his jump into Siege. Although she's eager to get her body back, there's others who are also seeking the Spark for their own means.

Powers/Abilities: Zephyr's Blade (Family Heirloom): A fancy name for an ordinary yet nicely decorated knife. Really, that's all it is. It however, contains her lingering spirit and will always return to its user.

Pressure Manipulation: Astraea is able to control the the force of pressure, by increasing or decreasing it in an area or against a single foe. She's able to mess with people's heads with this ability, from popping eardrums or making their own head a mess. She can also solidify walls for to crush her foes, too. However, both abilities require a lot of concentration on her part, or she'll easily miss.

Wind Magic: Being her natural affinity, Astraea has a great deal of control over the wind. She can levitate, create strong hurricanes to fling her foes skyward, and manipulate her opponent to gain a strategic advantage.

Sound Manipulation: Astraea can create and bend sound waves to her will, creating deafening noises or annoying high pitched frequencies that can slowly turn a person insane. This can easily break glass, which includes mirrors, at a certain pitch.

Pressurized Form/Poltergeist: With enough concentration, Astraea can create a tangible form through pressurized air, allowing use of physical techniques, ranging from kicking people in the jewels or throwing large objects at them. She's invisible but can be felt through simple contact, with a simple wind spell causing her form to dissipate.  One of the few abilities usable in her knife form.

Other: -Did I mention she hates being called short? Many of her abilities are also unusable in her current form.
-She chastises her brother for his overall attitude, describing his personality to be as "interesting as the winds in the doldrums." Regardless, she's grown to admire his truthful behavior, helping increase her trust towards others.

two's always a bad guy

(click to show/hide)

Name: Synthia "Isis" Integrus
The Queen of Creation
"...Another bloody mess I have to clean up. Joy."

Appearance: Appears as a nicely dressed woman in her mid-thirties, with short, purple hair and a fancy white coat with frills, along with some fake fur at the collar. Wears a pair of glasses much like her employer, never seen without them. Carries a clipboard along with a stylus, and a digital watch on her right arm.

Personality: Well organized and a stoic, she's rather polite, although cold and formal. Doesn't talk much and is loyal to anyone she serves under, but can get annoyed at those who clearly don't know what they're doing. A bit of a perfectionist, too. Prefers to stay on the sidelines...
...although towards her enemies, she's a demon. She carries over the same personality of a cold and calculating stoic, but carries a sadistic streak with utter malice, preferring to see her enemies die slow and painfully. Her emotionless exterior along with her contrasting violent actions can be seen as abnormal, freaking many people out. Sides with the people she works with, and has no preference towards good or evil.

Backstory: ThatGuy's lead secretary. While being the ruler of the world is fun, it required tedious amounts of work. He hired a manager to handle his paperwork along with several other projects. Synthia rose to the call, and she works as the lead manager. Not much else is known about her background. She's generally very matter-of-fact and emotionless with a strong love of technology, which is one of the main reasons she still works for him. Her current occupation is as the Techological Advisor to the King, along with being the keeper of the King's Royal Archives.

The true origin of her existence is the database of the dimensional organization, known as the [REDACTED] but will be referred to as them for privacy's sake. When the King needed information about the mysterious group, he decided to fuck all logic and canonize the database at its source. He wasn't expecting an actual figure to appear and the transfer itself was incomplete, causing her to develop an unstable personality. Lacking a secretary, the king decided to appoint her as his new lead secretary, limiting her memory and locking much of the information of the organization away. This was to prevent her from accessing the entirety of the database, which combined with her unstable state could create something akin to a dimensional deity, something that could spell doom for the dimensions themselves due to her unpredictability. The king keeps her under watchful eye, although he allows her freedom to do what she wants.

Weapon/Abilities: Stylus and Clipboard "Datakeeper": "Inherited" from the Navya family, her fancy stylus and clipboard combination acts as an advanced computer, sort of like a tablet. However, the stylus doubles as a knife, and her clipboard can regulate the realities she creates, along with summoning objects through "Canonization". It's also a handy organizer when the work piles up.

Technological Prowess: A fellow technomancer, Synthia is well gifted with technology and can control most technological devices, allowing her access to networks and the like. Unlike the other failure of a technomancer, she doesn't use this for immature purposes, mainly using it to aid in her paperwork. She can also transport herself into certain digital pathways, which speeds up transport.

Virtual Reality: Synthia is able to create virtual realities of her pleasing, and can manipulate space rather easily. She utilizes this as her main gimmick, and this is where her "trickery and deceit" strategy comes into play. However, she also must abide by the realities she creates, so she can't make something like "the inside of a sun" as a reality. Eventually, it ends with a stab in the back, or worse.

Invisibility: Her watch allows her to turn temporarily invisible, similar to another backstabbing character. As usual, there's a limit to how long she can use it, which then needs to be recharged afterwards.

Careful Analysis: Being the creator of a large database allows her the ability to predict movement patterns or attacks of others and react accordingly. Any new move she "reads" from her opponent gets hastily added to the database, which she can use to her advantage. Since she is a technomancer, she is free to use the internet for research or other purposes, allowing her the time to strategize or plan for an early advantage.

Copycat: Synthia can utilize signature moves of others stored in her database, and eventually create imperfect copies if she has enough information to do so. However, her copies are restricted to her current knowledge and the amount of energy required to summon them, making them useful for distraction purposes or as a test of her opponent's power.

Schrodinger's Test: One of her more powerful abilities, this allows Synthia to use the information gathered in her database to visualize situations with certain characters in mind, essentially studying possible outcomes without engaging in such a situation herself. By doing so, she can easily predict encounters before they even begin, while using the best possible outcomes to her advantage. However, this shares the same weaknesses as her Copycat ability, requiring an excessive amount of energy and information to successfully generate a perfect situation. Due to the processing power required for this, she's unable to do any actions while performing the test, and she's limited to only one situation stored in memory.

Ace of Spades: A normal playing card with the familiar black spade across its face, this card has no special abilities attributed to it, yet Synthia chooses to keep it for reasons she rather not disclose. Aces of the Spade suit are widely seen as high cards in a standard deck of 52. Perhaps it's a metaphor for her own high status?
- Due to Synthia's uncanny ability to correctly guess where her adversary is, it can be assumed that there's some sort of connection or link between them, with the card being a possible source of such a connection.

Desperation Move: Controlled Alternate Deletion/Schrodinger's Solution - Synthia encases her foe in a gigantic digital construct and goes berserk, slashing her trapped opponent wildly with her stylus. Laughing mad, she attaches several explosives to the construct, ensuring complete destruction of the target.

Bitter to the Core: In her "Awakened" state, Synthia's Spellcore allows her to freely control the element of ice, greatly heightening her technomancy powers and being able to freeze her opposition solid with no remorse.

Other:
-She loves video games quite a bit, basing many of her realities on certain game worlds. It's debatable if she spends her time working or playing throughout her hours of work.
-Currently the manager of a certain database ordered by TG. Although it's still a work in progress, her main goal is to cover every single topic in Cutopia, for her own purposes.
-She's taken a liking to annoying her other counterpart, Annette, with outright contempt, although there seems to be a mutual respect between the two.
-Strangely enough, no data records of Synthia can be found before her services to the king, leaving her past as an mysterious and unanswered anomaly. Only a few trusted members of the King and them know of her origin.
-Rumors have been spreading about a couple relationship with a member of them. The King really doesn't like to talk about it, and interactions between the two have become more awkward as of late.

Name: Antares Satevis (Post War) Previous Entry Here
The Mirror's Messenger
"Unless you triumph over yourself, your own victory is impossible."

Appearance: A middle aged man in his late 20s, with short blue hair and brown eyes. Wears a combination of a white tuxedo and a black tie as casual wear; otherwise, he is outfitted with shiny, reflective armor in battle, along with a cape. Always seems to have a scowl on his face, rarely smiles.

Personality: Contemptuous and judgmental, though only to those he first meets. Once you get on his better side, he's still blunt and aloof, but he's much more accepting. He dislikes lying, and values the truth above everything. Much of his current personality is somewhat recent, and he's still uneasy toward others. Has a soft spot for his sister.

Backstory: Antares was once a young nobleman of the centuries old Satevis family, which once resided in the ancient city, Aletheia. The city was engaged in a feud with another neighboring city, Kallipolis; a war that would drive both cities to ruin. Antares was exiled from the city after an alleged crime, staged against him by the city's senators themselves through a secret conspiracy held against him. He journeyed himself to Cutopia to recoup his losses, one loss being his sister's death in the destruction of the city. Bored and filled with anger at his situation and cursing himself for trusting in others, especially those who were corrupt in nature, he decided to pay a visit to the newly appointed "King of the World", who achieved his position through his own fighting prowess. The fight ended in a stalemate, but Thaddeus gave him information regarding a cult related to his previous "crime", along with rumors of his sister still being alive. After finally confronting the cult, he prepared to face his sister, now possessed with the World Ender Leviathan.

After eliminating of what remained of the World Ender Leviathan, he was distraught to see the consequences of the battle: His allies, all dead except for one, the aftermath of the both apocalypses, and his sister, whose mind ended up completely shattered after becoming the host to the vile abomination. Carrying his sister's comatose body, he headed toward his mansion to get some respite, and to figure out a way to repair his sister's mind. Eventually, after some research in the library, he discovered a novel detailing the existence of multiple dimensions, along with the fabled Nova Spark residing in one, rumored to hold incredible power. Bidding his aged butler, Geoffrey, farewell, he fled into a makeshift portal, preparing himself for the worst.

Weapons: Optical Edge: His prized possession, this mirrored sword allows the user to utilize the weaknesses of his opponents to his advantage. It can mirror this almost exactly, accounting for elemental, physical, or magical weaknesses. It can also be magically applied as a barrier to reflect projectiles, and its fabled ability, the ability to tap into the psyche of others, makes it horrifying if it connects to his foe. However, that in itself is its major flaw- it requires contact with the body to achieve full effect.

Mirror Manipulation: Antares is able to summon mirrors to assist him in battle. These can be utilized defensively or offensively: as barriers to protect from further assault, or they can be shattered and sent towards his opponents, shredding them into bits. These mirrors can also be used as portals for himself, allowing easy transportation for himself and anything shot into it. His favorite finisher is trapping his opponents inside a gigantic mirror, and shattering them into a thousand pieces. Recently, he's been experimenting with magnetic forces to allow his mirrors to move towards another, crushing anyone unlucky enough to be trapped between them. Expect to see these used for illusion purposes as well.

Light Manipulation: Antares can utilize light to his advantage- it is his magical affinity, after all. This allows him to shoot projectiles of light at his enemies, or to use them in conjunction with his mirrors to direct them at targets, including another mirror. This ability can also be used to confuse others as well, such as blinding his enemies, creating illusions or turning himself invisible.

Taunting: Antares isn't afraid to taunt his enemies, using their psychological weaknesses against them to throw them off their game.

Other: -He shows great proficiency in playing chess, appreciating it as a game of wits.
-Due to his Optical Edge extending to psychological fears, he's taken some time to help those cope with severe trauma or a damaged psyche.
-His abilities and weapon share similar properties to a certain shapeshifting monster, and no one truly knows of its origin.

and a new character for kicks

Name: Doctor Albus Castle
The Reliable Jack
"Let me show you the impressive fortitude of my defenses!"

Appearance: A big, burly man with chestnut brown hair, in his mid-thirties. His usual attire consists of what is akin to a black jumpsuit surrounded by a suit of black, bulky technological armor, crafted from pure impervium, a metal known for its highly resilient nature and high rarity. Two integrated cannons are present on each arm of the armor, each with a cylindrical design. Outside of his suit, he typically wears a standard red polo shirt with khaki pants.

Personality: Castle's main personality can be described as being very down to earth, laid back, and having a silly sense of humor, similar to a high ranked office worker. However, he isn't afraid to GET SERIOUSH when the situation requires him to. This side of his personality can be seen when he's working or annoyed, where he's prone to making snarky comments. He also values something called "common sense", and is confused at some of the eccentric personalities, including his employer's shenanigans. He is unquestionably loyal to anyone who employs him, especially his friend, TG.

Background:

Before reaching Cutopia, the younger Thaddeus was a spirited adventurer in an alternate dimension, with his first quest involving a suspicious castle far north. The castle was known as the "Devil's Keep", being the cause of many disappearances of adventurers who attempted the quest, seeking a legendary blade hidden within. Young, reckless, and willing to create a name for himself, Thaddeus took the quest, hoping to discover the true nature of the castle. Immediately, he found himself lost in the gigantic castle as soon as he entered the main doors. Before he became lost in despair and succumbed to hunger/death/whatever ill-concieved method, he located another person who ventured into the castle - a younger, now possessed Albus Castle, decked in full titanium armor. After a hard battle, TG was able to snap him out of the demonic trance controlling him, carefully knocking him unconscious.

After Castle returned to conciousness, he explained his situation to the young Thaddeus, and they became fast friends. Dr. Albus Castle started off as a renowned scientist of an unknown city-state. His main field of study involved dimensional theory, notably the conversion of dimensional energy to matter, an innovation he was hoping to utilize for the good of the world. The government of his nation decided to utilize his research for militaristic purposes against his wishes. After an accident known as "Incident Zero", Castle was sent into exile, with the majority of his inventions confiscated for government use. Disgusted by this turn of events, he left the place he once knew as his home, and headed towards regions unknown.

Using his great sense of navigation, Dr. Castle was able to navigate through the Keep. With some techniques he learned by a pseudo-combination of ingenuity and his inventions, he withheld the many monsters and traps seeking to end his life, reaching the top of the castle. When he reached the castle's peak, he met the one who controlled the monsters in the castle, who was using the legendary blade known as the Yoshitsuna to summon monsters deep within the dimensions. The demon playfully challenged him to a battle, which Castle lost and became a slave to their power.

He decided to aid Thaddeus after hearing his own reason for entering the castle, seeing him as the one who could aid him in defeating the power-crazed demon. Thaddeus agreed to assist Castle, as he was interested in the blade and determined to finish his first quest. Eventually, they both made it to the Castle's Peak and killed the demon utilizing the blade, who was about to use its dimensional power and their own army to rule over everything. However, the blade released a phenomenal amount of energy, and teleported both Castle and Thaddeus away to different dimensions. A few years later, they eventually met up at the Chaos Theatre, where Thaddeus's next plan came into play.

...However, this plan ended in disaster. After the incident which happened upon Sky Fortress(not to be confused with the one in CSA), he found himself without a job, many of his assistants and fellow co-workers died/disappeared, and his best friend blew himself up, along with the entire fortress.

After the King's return from the Gamma Dimension thanks to Count Nostalgia, Castle once again went back to working at his side, after a short dispute over previous events. Currently, he works as the lead engineer for both the King and his corporate partner, the changling known as TGOT, creating inventions the world has never seen before, for better or worse.

Weapons/Abilities: "Castle A" and "Castle B": Two of his armcannons, which can be used to fire any projectile that is loaded into em, including people, potatoes, rocks, rockets, etc. Both combined doubles the power and velocity of the projectile, which doubles the hurt. They also hurt like hell if he smacks you with them.

"Canonization Cannon": One of his favorite inventions, this utilizes his suit's energy to create anything imaginable. By using some of the core concepts of the "ColdFusion Principle of Digital Construction" and expanding upon it, he can essentially wield an infinite amount of practical and impractical ammo, as long as he has the energy to do so. With the Infinite Energy Drive held by TG, this can be boosted to ludicrous amounts, and was mainly used to fix dimensional breakage between the Chaos and Cutopia Dimensions. Unfortunately, he can't find ThatGuy since he exploded along with the Chaos Dimension, so its potential output has sadly decreased, no longer able to perform such impossible feats.

Desperation Move: Castle Crashing: Castle charges both of his cannons to overdrive, and he spams a crapload of projectiles straight in front of him. Ranging from small bullets to Kaiser Wave-esque blasts, it ensures the complete destruction of his target, at the cost of his own suit forcibly shutting down.

Sturdy: Due to his Impervium Armor, Castle is basically a walking tank. Many attacks do not have a noticeable effect on him, and he will use a plethora of fighting and wrestling moves to "squash you like bug".

Technological Prowess: As the Lead Engineer of the King, he knows a lot about technology, with much of it integrated into his suit. This allows him to access the battle data of his foes, discover weak points, find the nearest Starbucks, etc.

Other: -Burgers are his favorite food. More often than not, he'll be hanging out at the Cutter's Cove during his lunch break, which he states have "Probably the best damn burgers in Sectis."
-He's regarded as the creator, and therefore father figure, of Synthia Integrus, utilzing a special form of Canonization in her creation. His own relationship is similar to that of an overprotective father figure, and he greatly disproves of her 'special' relationship with the other dataform.
-He finds TGOT's inventions hilarious, using them as experimental tests of his Canonization Cannon to see if there's a limit to what the cannon can create. Fortunately or unfortunately, he hasn't seem to hit that limit yet, managing to successfully create any idea TGOT throws at him.
