Name: Replik
Age: (Actual age 9) 18 in appearance
Gender: Male
~ Biography ~
Given Family Name:
Fenix
Personality:
Replik is often portrayed to be well-mannered, friendly, and charismatic in his interactions with strangers and friends alike. He can be very candid when voicing disagreements but never forces his point of view on other people. He presents himself with a strong sense of justice and detests any form of inequality in society. As such, he won't hesitate to call out any questionable behaviour, especially deeds done by high society folk.
That being said, he often wonders how much of his personality is just the result of imprinting leading him to experience impostor syndrome. He feels like he is leaving a lie, acting as someone else, never having anything to his own self as everything he has or ever will have was given to him because of the original rather than his own effort. Though, there is one thing he didn't inherit from the original.
The one thing he feels that makes him feel truly alive is whenever he fights. While the original was very hesitant to enter combat, seeing it as a last resort, Replik sees it as the most favourable outcome. It is the only thing that separates him from the original, the only thing he knows is real.
History:
Replica #7 was the "name" assigned to him at his artificial birth from a vat tank. He was one of the many clones created under the Rebirth Initiative, a project sponsored by Elysium Industries meant to preserve the genes of the strongest warriors of the land, irrespective of their families.
Clones made from this initiative breed for battle and complete obedience, serving whatever purpose the higher ups had for them, be it bodyguard duty or supplementing existing armies. Like many of his kind, he grew up at an accelerated rate, roughly twice as fast as a normal human. They started their training regime as soon as their bodies were deemed mature enough, where they would train alongside their "brothers" and "sisters".
Besides extensive physical training, he also underwent personality imprinting to make him more similar to the original, with some modifications to make him more likeable to the public.
At the age of 18, when their powers fully manifested, the clones were often sent on black ops missions, eliminating threats in unconventional ways or "accidents". Eventually, the clones from the same template would need to fight each other to determine which one of them would become the "face" of the specific template. The winner would be introduced to the public as the successor of the original and spokesperson of Elysium Industries, while the others remained in the shadows, to be used as replacements or expandable soldiers.
Unfortunately for 7, he got careless and dropped his guard at the last second of this examination, letting one of the other clones win. Though this result wouldn't matter since said clone eventually got himself killed after trying to take on a dragon alone. This left 7 as "best" replacement, and thanks to his training and personality imprinting, no one would notice any differences.
Shortly after his public appearance (despite not actually being him), he was eventually invited into A.R.M.S academy, where he would further improve his skills, or at the very least generate some positive press for Elysium Industries.
~ Abilities ~
Style:
Cunning and calculated, Replik wastes little energy in moves, preferring to strike when the enemy is attacking to catch them off guard. He rarely relies on straightforward tactics, often using his clones to mislead and redirect his opponents. He prefers parrying attacks instead of outright blocking or dodging, seeing it as a chance to improve his skills and show the opponents how outclassed they are. That being said, when caught flat-footed he is not above relying on power alone to brute his way out of the situation, even if it means reducing everything around him to dust.
Devotions: Devoted to finding purpose in life
Heat Riser
Whenever Replik deals and receives damage, he gains heat. The amount of heat he gains corresponds to the strength of the attack he delivers and receives. As his heat rises, so does his strength and agility. He can expend heat in the form of energy blasts or empowering his melee strikes.
Fiery Clones
Ironically, one his techniques involves creating flaming duplicates of himself. These duplicates are much more fragile than real bodies, but can still pack a punch at high levels of heat. He is able to have two duplicates active at one time. While active, he can swap places with his duplicates for tricky manoeuvres. Upon taking enough damage, the duplicates would violently explode in a blaze of glory.
Finisher: Fire Bird's Indignation
Replik soars high into the air and begins releasing a massive wave of fire around him in the shape of a phoenix. Absorbing the wave of fire into his body, he would extend both his arms, concentrating all power into the palm of his hands. He would release the energy in the form of a large stream of vermillion blast. Half way through the attack, Replik would dive into the energy stream, with a devastating kick. Upon impact, the kick would release a powerful blast, reducing anything and everything within its radius to ash.
Weapon of Choice:
Armored Gauntlets and Leggings
Finger tips of his gauntlets have sharp talons used for inflicting more serious wounds. Can be enhanced with his heat.
A pair of whipswords
Wields two swords that are able to extend and retract their blades. Can also be enhanced with his heat. Often used by his clones to restrain their targets.
~ Extra ~
The Rebirth Initiative had a few templates that they wished to preserve. Replica 7's template was from Ankh Fenix, the phoenix warrior who died slaying a dragon. Like the other clones, 7 was genetically modified to be superior, specifically in his case, he was modified to be able to withstand greater heat for prolonged combat situations. That being said, the Fenix clones have a reputation to have potent powers but short life expectancy.
Cres Ivo is accepted and I actually like a lot of the angles you played for them. Age is fine given their extraneous circumstances, but even just one number up would probably fit better. Otherwise good to go"Yes. This energy is devouring me. But it is okay, through this devouring I have found meaning, I am at peace."

Name: Ivo
Age: 16
Gender: Physically unidentifiable, but accepts any designation
~ Biography ~
Family Name: Wreathweaver
Personality:
Ivo seems introverted, they rarely speak to others actively, and responds in a very methodical way when being spoken to. They tend to shy away or straight up reject most that attempts to get close to them and is constantly questioning the intentions of other. It can even be described as a paranoia, as they often believe that others want to harm them. As a result, Ivo gets defensive very easily.
In spite of this, Ivo actually longs for human interaction and being accepted by others, it is only their physical deformities that holds them back from doing so. Having lived life stigmatized for their various conditions as well as experiencing fits of hallucination, Ivo is self-conscious that they would make a poor friend or associate, and while loathing the need to deceive others, they do it out of fear of rejection. Ivo loves other people, they loved humanity and every small, mundane thing they do because of how unusual they are themselves, and strive for this normality. Although they sometimes lash out as a result of their genetic illness in fits of hallucination, Ivo is usually a very serene person, unfazed by nearly anything and always calmly starting into the eye of chaos. In fact, Ivo shows little fear, or even pity for the Prima influenced beasts humans must fight and slay, having understood the pain that can be brought by Prima themselves.
History:
Ivo is a member of the Wreathweavers, a sub-branch of the Lightwall family known for possessing the trait of "wreaths". These are strange circlet-like features around a person's head, they resemble accessories such as tiaras, chaplets, laurels, or even halos. However, as inorganic as these "wreaths" look, they are completely attached to the wearer, and is a part of their body, often times having bones that are protrusions from the skull, being thin flaps of flesh, and possessing a layer of hair. Due to how close these features are to the brain and extensive documentation of the family, the quality of one's wreath has been discovered to be directly linked to the strength of Prima brain waves someone posses.
On paper, Ivo is simply another member who possess a unique "wreath", making them an eligible candidate to become a knight. But the truth is far more horrifying, both regarding Ivo and the Wreathweavers themselves. Due to them possessing a feature that is directly linkable to Prima brain waves, the Wreathweavers have been employing a high amount of selective breeding within the family in order to create increasing more powerful bearers of wreaths. These methods began as arranged marriage just like other nobles, but it was soon found that the gene for a wreath is diluted very easily. Hence, it lead to the family down the line of rampant incest in order to create better wreaths that are more and more linked to one's brain. Ivo was the product of this horrible selection process. Born completely sterile without a biological sex, being completely blind, not even possessing openings in their skull for eyes to sit in, and a lack of colour were all extremely unsettling. This is when the family realized they have created an actual abomination, a human who's Prima brain waves are so strong it turned them into something akin to the monsters corrupted by Prima. A decision was made to put Ivo down then and there, but upon examination, they possessed a "flower-like" wreath, it had large bulbs and has numerous petals. Most bearers of a flowery wreath have their's bloom in infancy, so the execution was delayed until Ivo's wreath has bloomed.
When it did, the flowers bloomed into eyes.
Ivo was not blind, in fact, Ivo had more sight than any other human. The flowers in the wreath bloomed and revealed the eyeballs within them, fully functional and connected to Ivo's brain. This was the first time a Wreathweaver was born with a wreath that was actually connected to an organ. The effects of this was determined to be of too high research value for Ivo to be euthanized, and it was permanently delayed. And Ivo, despite those anomalies, lived normally with a cover story of a blind child who was so talented in Devotions they are capable of seeing with them from a young age.
As Ivo grew up, the hallucinations begin to set in. Due to their high level of Prima brain waves they were unconsciously drawing and using Prima from the ambient atmosphere. This was not a blessing however, as it brought upon nothing but nightmare-ish, chaotic hallucinations of all the possibilities of the world within the child's head. Under this torture, Ivo began to learn to cherish order and normalcy. They loved anything mundane, anything of the human world, anything that can anchor them to the concept of "being human". It was under this love that they created their first Devotion: Ivo's Reality Anchor. It was during a particularly violent episode of those hallucinations that a strange pike erupted out of Ivo's body, and it calmed the child. Upon further investigation, this pike had similar properties to Disaterite, but instead of being a metal that has harnessed excess Prima, it was made out of bone. When Ivo unconsciously gathered Prima, it was gathered and ejected into the form of these pikes. They serve as a buffer between the world and Ivo's mind, calming the chaotic hallucinations.
It was under these circumstances that it was decided that if Ivo were not to be put down, then Ivo would need to be controlled. The family sent them to A.R.M.S academy under the cover story of a Prima manipulating prodigy, Ivo themselves agreed, as they also wish to keep themselves sane by learning to actually manipulate Prima in positive ways. Ivo knew they couldn't rely on the "Anchors" forever, as every anchor they generated caused a part of their spine and tissue to crystalize into a Diasterite-like hard metal, and creating these anchors in fits of stress is an unconscious involuntary process out of the fervent desire to return to normalcy.
~ Abilities ~
Style:
Ivo's combat style is almost the antithesis of the person they are. Although they have the ability to gather and manipulate great quantities of Prima, Ivo's rein on these energies are shaky at best. Ivo's attacks are like raging torrents that tear anything in front of them apart, friend of foe. Despite having strong mid-long range fire power with great range, Ivo often risks friendly first or even self-destructing when attempting to employ stronger attacks. Ivo rarely channels Devotions themselves, and instead relies on the six "Reality Anchors" as a intermediate casting device, being able to manipulate them like a part of their own body. This comes in handy as Ivo is capable of seeing 360 degrees around them.
Devotions:
Ivo's Devotion is to normalcy, the desire to become "normal" rather than living as an anomaly. This even extends to beasts they are fighting as a form of pity.
Ivo's Devotions center around indiscriminate bombardment with pure energy and chaos, quantity over quality is the motto here when it comes to manipulating Prima.
"I Shall Repent" - A Devotion that channels strong physical force into "Ivo's Reality Anchor" and uses them like a javelin or harpoon. Although unlike normal throwing weapons, these are able to chase down a target, making sharp turns depend on how fast the anchor is flying. Flexbility and power are inversely proportional.
"I Shall Become Dust" - A fairly long ranged attack, Ivo sends one of the anchors to the center of the targeted area. From this anchor a power wave of Prima would radiate out, knocking back and damaging anything near it. Multiple of these, upward to six, can be sent out. But the output becomes increasingly unstable as more anchors are sent out.
"For the Suffering" - Ivo's close-mind ranged attack and a high risk finisher. Scanning the environment around them Ivo can target up to six objectives and barrage the anchors into them, then instantly detonating them with high concentration Prima energy. Ivo is capable of following up with one or multiple (if they are on the same target) of the anchors by making physical contact with it, by doing this, the effect that comes from that particular target can be manipulated by Ivo in a more intricate fashion. Although this usually manifests as physical force through Prima, a sentient being may receive similar hallucinations that Ivo experiences through this method.
Weapon of Choice:
"Ivo's Reality Anchors" - Six clock hand-like pikes that levitates around Ivo and can be manipulated by them. Officially, these are Ivo's weapons and are crafted out of Disasterite as well as a "handicap support" of some sort. In actuality these are generated from Ivo's bones and are more akin to extra appendages created from Devotion.
~ Extra ~Theme Song:
-Ivo actually remains close to their mother (let's just say that's her main role for the sake of sanity) and other family members.
-Ivo believes that their days are numbered, and the unnatural nature of her Prima brain waves and generating anchors would cause them to eventually become die.
-The eyes in Ivo's wreaths function like normal eyes, just in a different place. They blink, they close, they cry. Ivo shuts the flower petals around the eyes when they get flustered, when they cry it is similar to morning dew dropping from petals.
Don't worry about actual class ideas just try something funFair enough. Guess I should get on the 2nd then.
Which would be better? A half-DPS Half-Tank, or a pure / Shield Healer?
Looking forward to it!Alright everyone sorry for the radio silence for a bit there, been a bit of a busy week but I plan on getting the IC up TOMORROW perhaps tonight

Name:
Taiki
Age:
21
Gender:
Male
~ Biography ~
Family Name:
Kunigiri
Personality:
Outwardly cold and unfriendly seeming, especially around those that don't know him. Kind at heart, if not externally evident. Like his brother, if you hurt those he cares for, only god can spare you his wrath. Fiercely loyal and protective, but he understands, and is more willing to accept, that sometimes innocent lives must be exchanged for the greater good of the whole.
History:
Much like that of his brother, Taiki grew up outside the city. Being ever so slightly older, the burden of protection fell upon him as they were growing up. When he was faced with the loss of his younger sister, his already tough, abrasive exterior honed itself, and his resolve doubled to do what he could for the others at the cost of his own well-being, even life, if it ever came to it. Making the poor decision to attract the attention of a titan on his own in hopes of protecting his home and those he cared for, he narrowly escaped. Separated from his siblings, he made his way into the city, where he picked fights with any that judged him based on name, renown, or other, surface-level aspects. His underlying fighting style would refine further through this, and after both being accepted by the Academy after training positive, as well as performing near, if not at, the top of his class, he got the attention of the Mortars. Declining full adoption, due primarily to not wanting to force his siblings into an environment where they would not excel, he instead proposed sponsorship instead, to get most of the same benefits without most of the shortcomings, and without reducing the rest of his families options.
~ Abilities ~
Style:
Taiki's style revolves around the usage and manipulation of a specialty set of armor, created as most Titan-fighting weapons are, but structured as layered and stacked plates of sharpened Disastrite. At Medium to Long range, Taiki can weaponize these plates, weakening his own defenses while doing so to press the offensive. At close range, he relies on dual-one-handed swords, letting the armor do it's job. Martial combat had always been one of Taiki's strengths, and as he struggled with even the most basic pure devotions, his devotions started to more into enhancements and manipulations of his armor almost exclusively to facilitate adaptive defenses and offensive capabilities. Due to the weight of such armor, however, Taiki isn't the most nimble fighter on his own, outside of speed or dexterity enhancements granted by others.
Devotions:
Taiki's devotions are almost completely centered around altering the structure, or more specifically, the layout of the plates of his armor. This allows him to weaponize it, or to shift part of it to a shield-like form to help ally defenses. Decidedly weak at using pure devotions for anything other than augments or adjustments.
Weapon of Choice:
At Medium - Long Range: Weaponized Armor
At close Range: Dual-wields one-handed swords
