I thought she might be but I wasn't about to assume.
 
Name: Rever Seurwit

Age: 23

Race: Human

Class: Weapon Specialist

Title: Student

Sect Study: Dominus; Yellow

Appearance: Rever stands at 5'10" tall and houses a slim frame. His dark brown hair looks almost black, contrasting from his pale white skin. Behind his black framed glasses sit two hazel eyes. Typically Rever is dressed in a semi formal suit, however instead of the typical white undershirt, a yellow shirt sits beneath his opened jacket to show his classification as a yellow student. Revealing his sect of study is a pin of the arma sect on the upper left of his jacket. Overall, rever dresses classy for a student, but also not extremely seriously. He has a wide variety of ties to choose from as well, usually going with a solid color, as many designs contrast from his yellow undershirt far too much.

Personality: Rever Seurwit is a nice individual, always willing to give his free time to help out when asked, provided they aren't overly demanding, after all, they are asking for his free time. As such, he can be seen as very abrasive, as his strongly opinionated views come into play. Despite this, he is not over a peaceful debate, but he's known to call people morons in the middle of a debate, but usually only when they are being such. His views lie around his logical assumptions and what seems like a more reasonable ideal mostly because he falls under the ISTJ of the Myers-Briggs personality type.

Rever knows there are diplomatic ways around everything, but he doesn't much care. He would much rather take up arms and show the side he dislikes more that he and his weapon mean business. He's not afraid to oppose both sides, essentially forcing out a compromise if he can. however, this is balanced with his nature of being a follower rather than a leader, so he will do as his leader says. Leadership is important, and some leaders know more than they let on, but this doesn't hide Revers loyalty, as he will remain loyal until the end.

Weapon(s): Kiku Ichi Monjo (his "partner")

Kiku is his weapon, a sentient being who has no definite shape. This weapon talks telepathically to anyone and everyone touching it, which often makes Rever look crazy for talking to his weapon due to the fact that this telepathy is a one way deal. Above all, Kiku can change shape into any weapon or small piece of armor at its own will. As such, the weight will also change, which means Rever and Kiku have to be on the same page to work at their full potential. If they are thinking different things and Kiku turns into a weapon that Rever doesn't need, it can cause some huge mistakes, especially since Rever cannot telepathically talk to Kiku.

Despite the numerous changes Kiku can go through, there are a few things that are always the same. Kiku is not made of a normal metal, it is much harder than most metals. Regardless of what form Kiku takes, its metal parts are always magenta with strong reflective properties, causing magenta glares to shimmer off in the light. Any other material appears black. Kiku cannot turn into a traditional projectile (chains are within limitations) and is androgynous. Its voice appears as the listener imagines it would, Rever hears it as a young feminine voice, as if a little sister, and he sometimes treats it as such.

The more in sync Kiku and its wielder are, the more powerful Kiku becomes. The telepathy can be enhanced to push images, and Kiku can make larger objects (but still cannot be a projectile). In theory, Kiku has the potential of becoming a full suit of armor at a perfect pair, but this has never been achieved in Kikus lifetime. If Kiku and its wielder are in a high enough sync, Kiku can control its wielders body under very specific conditions, most of which involve conscious state. Rever and Kiku are not yet at this point, nor does it seem within grasp at this time.

Currently Kikus default form for combat is a short bladed cutlass with a hand guard.

Abilities/Magic:

Revers one and only accessible power is the ability to control the friction around his hands and feet. He cannot control the friction of other objects, such as his weapon, but he can manipulate the friction he applies directly on objects. As such, he can slide around the ground easily, and also intensify the friction to come to an easy stop, or make more traction despite his shoes tread. While he can manipulate friction around his hands, it doesn't make much sense to due to his weapon being held in his hands. As such, this ability makes for a speed enhancement for now, improving his melee combat skills.

History: Throughout Revers childhood he was mostly babysitting his little sister and brother, his sister being the youngest. This was because his father was always gone doing his work, which was never made clear to the family. As for his mother, she had more stable work as a nurse. Often when is younger siblings bickered back and forth or started fights, Rever would step in and stop it, not by talking to him, but by threatening them both. Needless to say he would never get violent with them, they were his family, but it worked for stopping them.

Once his siblings were old enough to resolve their own issues, Rever started going out with friends much more often, mostly because he felt like he was missing out beforehand. His friends and himself were innocent trouble makers, always getting on peoples nerves but never causing any real trouble. One day, when his group of friends were being rambunctious they stumbled across an old man. At this time they were all old enough to know to avoid strangers, but this man seemed rather friendly. To an extent this did creep Rever out, especially with the odd magenta metal studded glove he wore, since it was just one. He seemed particularly crazy when he started talking to it, but Rever just couldn't walk away from this. He'd never seem someone he perceived as crazy first.

It didn't take long for this man to explain why he was talking to his glove, as it changed shape into a katana with a magnificent magenta blade. He explained that his weapon was sentient and that he needed someone to pass it onto. Needless to say, this confused Rever as to what was really meant by that, let alone why he was the one being told. It was soon revealed that the weapon wanted to see if Rever was worth partnering with. At first, Rever declined in a not-so-respectful manner by calling the man crazy and leaving as soon as he could.

After finally graduating high school a few years later, Rever ran into the man again. He still had the weapon, as he could once again see the glove on his hand. Being older and 3 years wiser, Rever asked about the weapon. The man told him to place his hand on the katanas handle, and quickly, Rever heard the voice of the sword. It had told hi that he had dormant abilities made for combat and asked Rever three questions. He must have gotten them right as the sword then stated they were partners from that point on. With his new weapon in possession, Rever was informed by the man about Eureka Academy to help hone his skills with his new weapon, explaining Kiku took many forms.

At first, Rever ignored this, carrying the weapon with him anyway. He didn't do much combat, but Kiku never objected, so he assumed it was fine. But as time passed, Rever got bored of his lack of action in his life. Now 21, Rever decided to enroll in the academy under the Arma sect. During his first year, Rever was a white student and he discovered his ability to slide across the ground with very little friction. This must have been what was meant by dormant powers, he thought to himself. His second year he made it in as a red student, and now at the start of his third year, he is here as a yellow student. Things are looking good this year.

Ugh this was one of the harder characters for me to make since i ran dry on what power to make and i haven't done an more original one in a while TT_TT
I would not be surprised if this one was criticised and ripped apart. Haven't used the Raptir race for ages either. >.<
Name: Alisa Esirse

Age: 60 which is equall to about 16 in human years

Race: Raptir. The raptir are a humanoid race from far far away that have pushed the limits of technology but due to war in their home worlds have many crashed or damaged dormant ships spread out in the universe or other unknown areas that has started colonies and eventually faded the memories of their original home.

They are noticeably taller than humans. having horn growth on their shoulders heads even arms and legs although these are not as common. Skin tone is more red. And hair tends to be longer and grows faster. this is similar to nails and the sometimes occurring tail.

The anatomical build-up is however very similar to humans. Some muscles and joints looking differently due to the very different fiber form in their bones and muscles even tendons. A Raptir is physically more in most areas compared to humans.

Raptir laws concerning other civilisations dictate strict first contact rules about sharing technology and mentioned tech interacting with said civilisations.

Class: spiritual Mage would be the best description i think

Title: student

Sect Study: Ultris - White

(apperance below is a link to give a somewhat idea of her looks she has normal hands and arms like a human though <,<)
Appearance: Alisa stands about 6' 2.8" tall. With white long hair. She has a redish like toned skin that is smooth to the touch. Her horn growths on the head are not very big but still noticable going along the sides of her head. On her shoulders like pointy pads cover a small area on each side.

Behind her flows a tail covered partially in the same horn like growths that covers her head and shoulders. However her tail horns and all are dark purple almost blue like. Her eyes where sharp red almost tinting towards pink. But now her face is partially covered with a protective visor over the eyes. giving her assisted vision though she does not fully rely on that.

For clothing she normally wears simple knee long skirts or jeans like pants. Along with a simple tank top or T-shirt.
sometimes adding a hoodie over that. Or jacket

Personality: Alisa is quite a calm and careful person. you won't see her barge in head first or become easily aggravated. Instead you will see her hang back think things trough and most likely will have some second thoughts on things. New situations makes her step back and become insecure. The more she knows people and the better they are at handling things the more reliant she becomes in tough situations.

Socially she likes listening to and being with people. loneliness is not her strength and being shut out is to her quite a big thing. She is very sensitive to peoples mood and quite self aware on how people see her. Believe it or not but thunder and sounds similar to it makes her nervous or outright scares her. Empty places makes her nervous. Which is some of the reasons why she prefers company and friends. What ever you do. Do not make her drunk. Just saying. Raptirs drunk are very difficult to deal with especially if you manage to annoy them.

Weapon(s): Her race has many weapons but this one is probably a big favourite amongst civilians and military scouts.
The SWAT personal protection system. Is an arm mounted computer, weapons and defense system.

incorporated into this is a reactive light arms energy barrier. A Particle accelerator. And an material holo transformator that can use small amounts of metal to shape tools or simpler add-ons for the accelerator to increase use and range.
The medical applicator in it is however limited and shuts down all other functions to work at top performance. is not to be relied on when taking larger wounds.
(if you think that one is bad ass you should see an actual weapon) XD

Abilities/Magic:

Her magic seems very closely connected to her body and mind. This in turn then causes waves of coloured particles to appear around her. It's movement similar to water.
From this she is able to use the basic elements. She does not yet know the extent on how much she can do or to what extent. So far only throwing around balls of fire or water or making flowers bloom.

While magic is unusual amongst her people. Mental abilities are not Her species is an old one and is highly evolved.
Alisa has a mental ability that is more internal on her self. And can mostly only use it on others trough direct contact. This is mostly connected to things like healing, poisons and small boosts to physical abilities. Perhaps technology but all is quite limited and basical stuff being done faster. Like bypassing the physical part of a keyboard and typing trough her mind instead which is way faster.

History: Alisa is from a crashed colony. She grew up outside the main city which was also the remains of the old warship. She was only fifteen years old when the first Creon falls started on the planet. An strange alien species travelling from their hives on biomasses trough space to habitable planets to feed and expand the hive. They attack using acids and adapt quickly to the surrounding environment while slowly mutating local vegetation and wildlife. Two years after the first falls and the start of the war. In an sudden attack from the creons breaking trough the towns perimeter. Alisa lost her sight.

This was also the first time she showed signs of her ability the lead to her future decisions. As she had to learn to live with the loss of sight. Her kinds technology allowed her Artificial options. She was never and will never really be a warrior. however as her kin is how they are she never really had a choice in the matter.
Also she had to join in the defence.
And so she did, for a few years when she had gotten older. But soon she was moved as they also learned how to deal with these beings. And Alisa returned to education once again. Now also studying her ability something that was unusual but interesting to many.

In accordance to the laws of her species she spent the thirty first years of her life in education and practice. After that she would spend another thirty gathering experience and knowledge before she finally was allowed to settle a life as an adult and decide her self what to do. This was due to how easily her race was drawn into war and strife. As mostly few actually spent that much time in education and training.

Alisa though liked learning things and knew she needed more knowledge from more experienced people. Having heard of Eureka from friends from trading planets and bypassing travellers made it her goal to reach that place to learn more. If she was lucky it might even help them find a way to deal with the creons and begin restoration of the mutated nature on the planet.

Well @Squee , I can say that you're accepted. @Silvir , however. Everything I'm fine with but I would add a corollary that such highly advanced technology is currently under a limited embargo to allow adaptation for the races of both Corinith and Eritai to this technology. That means that if it's damaged it will be difficult to repair and also that most people on Eureka would not have any clue what this is. That okay with you?

Sounds completely fine. I think Raptir law dictates that she is to keep it's use and contact with less advanced civilisations to a minimum unless situation dictates otherwise. >.<
 
@Incubus Prince

We're the only two yellow Dominus students. Perhaps they could be room mates? Figured I would ask before I posted. It's up to you, I'm feeling neutral about it. I notice its neither of their first years, so a prior knowledge of one another isn't out of the question. Any thoughts, or just give us NPC room mates?
 
yaya, some new blood in our ranks ^_^
 
@Squee

Yeah, that sounds fine! I think it's a good idea because it will offer more character interaction, rather than a lack thereof. 'Sides, it will be good for Orin to actually have a roomie to actually talk with. May even bring him out of his shell a little. But, yes. I like the idea ^_^
 
Sounds good, I'll work up a post at some point tonight, if I don't get it up yet, I probably will tomorrow. From what I understand in Gavins latest post, it's morning now, so I'll probably just go with a summary of his actions last night and make a morning post.

Cool, so it's basically First Contact Rules. Awesome. I'll go ahead and add you to the roster but do add that in to the bio so people looking at your character can see that. Keeps people from making plans to take your tech.

@Squee You would be correct.
 
Alright, I posted in a manner that allows you to fill in the blanks. I'm game for just about anything, Rever is a new concept for me to play as, so feel free to go nuts.
 
I posted my first one.
I made it kinda short, and left room to play with (ex. I had her roommates still sleeping, so if anyone is eligible and wanted to play my roommate, feel free to take the spot. I didn't catch any other female Dominus: Whites though).
 
ok ok ok. sooooo, the missions, we should really update who is good for which what with all the influx of new characters


I think last we left it it was

Mission 1
-Orin (leader
-Marco

Mission 2
-Hibiki (leader)
-Bobby the robot (who is actually a golem)

Mission 3
-Soren (leader)
-Grimm


Is that right?
 
Yes, I believe so.
 
So, that leaves us with a list of

Zacharia
Walther
Ashling
Rever
and Alisa

as effectife characters who have not yet been assigned to a mission.

newflesh, y'all speak up now if you want a spot in any of the missions lol.
 
Revers one and only accessible power is the ability to control the friction around his hands and feet. He cannot control the friction of other objects, such as his weapon, but he can manipulate the friction he applies directly on objects. As such, he can slide around the ground easily, and also intensify the friction to come to an easy stop, or make more traction despite his shoes tread. While he can manipulate friction around his hands, it doesn't make much sense to due to his weapon being held in his hands. As such, this ability makes for a speed enhancement for now, improving his melee combat skills.


wanted to comment on this when i read this part of the CS. His friction powers are actually really damn useful when applied to his hands. The thing about physcs is that it likes to stay balanced no matter what's happeneing, so if you;re somehow removing any part of the equation, you'll be affecting the other parts, even if usually you wouldn;t think that would happen. So your character has the ability to control friction right? So let's look at a very basic 'equation'. You have movement in a body (kinetic energy), which is followed by contact with another body, which creates friction, which acts as a bridge to allow kinetic energy to pass from one body to another, creating movement in the second body and decreasing movement in the first, the higher the friction the wider the metaphorical bridge, the easier it is for kinetic energy to be transferred from the first body to the second (assuming the second body is a solid anyways, things get a bit more complicated when talking about liquids and gases). in thsi equation, friction is a factor that is determined almost entirely by outside sources, and cannot be changed without first changing those outside sources (such as changing the material that the bodies in question are made of). However, your character has the ability to bypass this and affect friction directly. This is a move that is akin to reversing the laws of cause and effect, because physics wants that equation to remain balanced, and will theoretically fuck with the other elements in order to make everything fit.

So let's say body A is a punch being thrown at your character, body a possesses momentum and thus kinetic energy, that punch makes contact with your character's hand, body B, but your character had reduced the friction in his hand down to absolute 0, what does this tell physics? If friction is generated when two objects come in contact, and there is no friction present, physics basically says 'ok, well i guess there was no contact then'. So because there was no contact, there is no bridge for the kinetic force inside body A (the punch) to travel to body B (your char's hand), but that kinetic force still has to go somewhere right?

now, if your character was holding out his hand at an angle, the punch would just slide off that angle, the force of momentum being redirected towards the slant of that angle from the inability to be transferred into the hand itself (the feeling for teh one being punched would be akin to his fist gaining a mind of its own and suddenly deciding to veer left on its own accord). However, if the hand is being held perpendicularly to the incoming blow, then there is no slant fr the punch to 'slide' off of, what happens then? Now, this is a 100% theoretical scenario because in real world physics this could simply not happen, so there is some debate among fiction writers as to what would follow, but i am partial to the reflection theory (as opposed to the absolution theory, which essentially stipulates that the kinetic movement would disappear altogether, absorbed into the 'nothingness' of the lack of friction), which essentially stipulates that the surface of a body that is incapable of generating friction acts for kinetic energy the same way a mirror acts for photon energy. in other words, if that punch hits your hand dead on, the kinetic energy behind it is 100% reflected back into the fist that was delivering that strike, traveling through the arm. So if that punch that was thrown your way had ennough power behind it to break bones, your hand would refelct that power back at the attacker and make him break the bones in his own hand (and possibly even traveling up his arm, depending on how much strength was behind the strike and how durable their own body is).

This means that your character's friction control ability effectively transforms his hands into perfect shields that can redirect/reflect literally any attack that he can manage to block. This also makes him rather troublesome for projectile users because generally speaking projectiles don;t have enough momentum behind them to be destroyed by kinesis reflection (the only reason the arm was damaged in the earlier example was because the attacker's body was still behind it, and thus offering resistance to the reflection of the kinetic energy). for example, if he somehow managed put his hand in front of a sniper's bullet's path and his open palm was pointed towards the sniper himself, the reflection ability would cause the bullet to shoot back at the sniper himself, causing him to get shot with his own projectile.

So you have a character who has nearly unlimited mobility (increasing the friction around his feet should theoretically allow him to run on water and air) [top maneuverability short of levitation], can move at incredible speeds on the ground via lateral shifting/sliding[ high speed stat], has the ability to completely cancel damage received from any attack he manages to block with his hand, even reflecting that damage back at his opponent under the right circumstance[potentially perfect defense stat], and has a weapon that can take any shape he needs it to without cooldown [high attack stat that can shift to take advantage of whatever the enemy's weakness is]. You have the potentially most powerful and adaptive physical fighter in the game so far, and he's only gonna become more incredible as his control over his friction power increases (eventually he'll be on the same level as Acclerator from To Aru Majutsu no Index, fitting since their powers are so similar).

soooo, basically an omni-tool lol. nice
 
Oh, as an addition to my comments on @Squee 's character, it's my personal opinion that a good default weapon weapon form for kuki is one that doesn't require rever to hold her in his hand, since if he had to use one hand to hold her, that would rob him of one of his 'shields'. My personal suggestion would be something along the lines of a retractable arm blade, preferably one lined up with the outfacing side of his forearm, rather than being positioned above or below his forearm (the reason being that if it's in those positions, the weapon become pretty much a thrust-only weapon similar to the hidden blades from assassin;s creed, having the blade positioned to the side of the arm allows it to retain more capabilities as a slashing weapon, which i imagine is more conductive to a fighter who relies on high mobility during battles).

Better yet would be two arm blades, connected together by a chain that would pass behind Rever's back (that way they are still considered 'one' item and within the limitations of kuki's established abilities as a shapeshifting item), allowing rever to attack and defend simultaneously with both hands.


These are all only suggestions of course, but in my mind this would be the most effective way to use the rever character given his and his weapons' established characteristics.

Everything mentioned is true, but as I had forgotten to specify, the powers description is from Revers perspective. However, on the effect of taking impact on the proper angle with his hands, I had imagined it more of a cancellation due to the fact that there is a new element being added here, the element of a form of magic, which in Revers case can act as a form of its own force. In my mind I had already decided that if it were to happen, revers energy would take the impact, thinking of it as an energy conversion from kinetic to magic, keeping the law of conservation of energy. You do have to keep in mind, at this point in time he is still a yellow student, as his weapon is already very powerful along with his perfect speed abilities, but he has room to improve, or learn more about his powers. This was very well intentional, along with walking on water/air as well, but he has not yet honed his powers to that extent yet. Eventually Rever will be able to manipulate the air resistance around him, increasing his speed capabilities drastically, but for now, just hands and feet. Without air resistance you'd be able to run as though through a perfect vacuum.

You bring up a valid point with pretty much everything said. Also keep in mind, Kiku is telepathically connected to Rever, but not vice versa. This was already concretely decided by me to not change, he will never be connected to Kiku in such a manner. As such, the communication factor comes into play, so he has to stay with a certain style for an amount of time.

I figured I would go with something that had much potential, and you caught me. Good catch :P I will be having my teacher, Arukab, teach Rever a great deal of weapon techniques, since he's completely unlimited in weapon.
