Q-FLUX-01.png

Name:
Jhanuis "Jin" Bedniv

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Where are you today?
Jhanuis awoke to find himself lying in the dilapidated husk of some vehicle in some throwaway alley with the barest amount of light and the worst headache he'd been blessed with for the first twenty years of his life. Even better, he felt around his lower left leg when it gave out an itch and found three to four finger-sized holes where something once laid its eggs is his epidermis. In a fit of shock he hit his head on the top of the storage compartment of whatever dead circuitry he'd been sleeping in, waking up his roommate who'd been sleeping on the seats - Kano.

"So," Kano broke it to him while handing Jhanuis a drink. "I live here. I found you sleeping out for god-knows how long against some bushes around that corner there. I was gonna leave you alone, but then I saw some of the bugs trying to make their way under your skin, so I thought you were a dead body. When I tried to... well, scavenge, I found out you were still alive after all. My good conscious nagged me to bring you back here and cut out those pesky bugs, and here we are. Well, there was that one other reason..."

"...I owe you my life, then... I can't even begin to-- W-Wait... What other reason...?"

"Well, I thought you had a pretty cute face."

"...Huh?"

So that was how it all began. But wait, there's more!

Warily taking a peek at the streets around them the next morning, Jhanuis asked Kano why the place seemed so peaceful despite the invading aliens. Kano raised an eyebrow and told him the last attack by the Nemesis forces was 300 years ago, and even now it sounds like a plot from a vintage holodisc somewhere. The two shared puzzled expressions for a few seconds, until Jhanuis put two and two together. And then he asked Kano what the current date was, and what he replied didn't even register with Jhanuis the first and second times. The rest of their conversation is like any fish-out-of-time would have, but Jhanuis thankfully snapped from the doldrums quicker than most. The holes in his leg were enough to convince him this was no simulacrum. After a day of going through his belongings, Jhanuis took off to survey the new world on his own against Kano's objections.

He would then spend the next nine months traveling to the very brims of Neo Babylon, seeing the open seas, and then circling its perimeter, meeting people, getting into adventures, and even managing to sell his wallet and money, both of which was in decent condition, to an old-world museum to be made exhibitions there. It took a while to process the credit transfer, but after all was said and done, Jhanuis returned to the heart of Neo Babylon - and the very same alley he woke up in nine months ago. He broke into a smile the moment he saw Kano still living there, in that broken down mono-angular, and called out to the guy. He invited him to stay with him at a cheap apartment up in layer one, which he'd paid the first three months for with the money he'd collected. Kano accepted, and they've been close roommates since.

And the rest has been more or less good. Jhanuis, now going as "Jin", still reels from a fight he got into during his travels, which has begun to cause a rare, slow crystallizing phenomenon on the cornea's surface of both his eyes, but with regular trips to the optometrist, he could still postpone going fully blind by about ten years.

That should be enough time, he thought, to make a somewhat good life in this new world.

Error Power:
Vertex Manipulation
A difficult power to control, this yet-to-be-discovered power of Jin's allows him to manipulate vertices, any angular points in a polygon (complete or otherwise imaginary), to shift, extend, and spring out into deadly melee attacks manifested in the shape of pitch-black constructs. So to speak, he can cause any vertices to bend by manipulating its angle and then its characteristics on a x-axis and y-axis basis, allowing him to (eventually) do such things as turn a vidcube into a ball of spikes, or hold a card and have one of its angles stab somebody in the chest the next moment. Because these angles act as "imaginary space" (or anti-space, for that matter), the shifted object remains unaffected (unless he inverts the angle to destroy the object itself), and the spikes/constructs remain for as long as Jin warrants them to. The constructs, whatever size they may be, are also literally weightless, but this does not necessarily translate to density.

Additionally, the constructs (due to being anti-space) completely disintegrate any solid matter in their line of movement, though may become safe to the touch when it is not in movement. The projection of an angle can be extremely fast, and the constructs may double as shields (though Jin may not realize this early on), but the overall combat ability is hampered by its taxing effect on Jin; it requires a modicum of concentration and willpower to be done. The power also seems to be tied to his sight, and prolonged use will cause "tears of blood" (damage to ocular tear conducts?).

Skills/Abilities:
Jin possesses a slew of other skills in relatively decent (but still beginner-ish) level of skill, due to his adaptability, ability to learn quickly, and generally high intelligence. Among his skills which he'd picked up from his half-time occupations include cooking, operating machinery, tailing people (don't ask), creating 2D and 3D graphics, writing letters and official minutes, taking care of flora, deftly driving against the flow of traffic (again, don't ask), and courier work.

Socially, Jin's capable of carrying a conversation up to a point, and/but definitely not by himself. He's had some troubles figuring out other people's reactions (different norms and customs after all), but it helps to know what he wants, and what he can do. Despite this, Jin's not usually the one to break the ice. This is a mix of both a slight shyness and desire in not offending the norms of the new society he's stuck in.

Magically, Jin has never started an attempt to delve into the arts of mana, and he expects it to be another year before he can start considering it a normal thing. Trauma or not, maybe that's why he's having a hard time finding normal jobs...

Equipment/Possessions:
Jin owns a rented apartment which is his current home, shared with the knowledgeable and street-wise Kano, who helps him settle in and find jobs, among other things. He possesses a wide range of items within his home, which are probably too much to list here. He either buys them at super-cheap prices or picks them up from the ground they were lying on. Jin wants to learn all he can about the new Nera and Neo Babylon, so he either pokes, cleans, or picks apart these devices and objects in his free time, aiding him further in machinery skills.

On his person, Jin usually brings with him some papers for job-finding purposes, papers for the jobs he already has, some snacks he'd just bought that day (new foods are always a delightful experience for him), an old and worn "vidcube" (video-cube) for getting news... and looking for jobs, contact cards, a contact card holder for keeping his credits, and one completely legal, completely commercial extendable nightstick for self-defense purposes (which he never leaves at home with Kano by the way).

All of the items on his person are carried on a simple backpack outfitted with a tag carrying limited-use runes that call out to him when he calls to it.​

Name: Nechronica
Age: Thinks she's at least thirty years old.
Gender: Hermaphrodite. Identifies as female.
Where are you today? Nechronica first awoken during a raid by the Policus on a gang hideout. She had no idea what was going on, or why this fire fight was happening. The only thing she had on was ragged clothing, one accident away from being torn apart, which provided no safety in this heated battle. Nechronica would have been more than glad to leave, if certain events had not transpired. As powerful as the Policus were, one officer ended up pinned down by heavy fire, separated from his group. It wasn't long before he took a rather deadly shot through the chest, which would have killed him had Nechronica didn't try to save him. She didn't know why she had to, given that they would have just been as likely to shoot her as any other. But she had to try. She pulled the wounded warrior away from the battle as he was dying, and did her best to treat his wounds. Despite her lack of knowledge, she was able to stabilize the officer long enough for his allies to retrieve him. But Nechronica wasn't free to go.

Eventually the battle was over after the gang were forced to flee, but Nechronica was arrested for possible alliance with the gang they raided. She did as they told, answering their questions to the best of her (Initially limited) ability. It was soon apparent to them that Nechronica had nothing to do with the gang, but with no records of who she was or where she came from, they were highly suspicious of her. However, her small act of heroism did serve to assist in making a future for herself; she was more or less "adopted" by the officer she saved, who himself was going to retire after that job. He helped her fit into New Babylon and vouched for her admittance into the Policus, where she slowly but surely raised herself into a fine officer. Though she still has to train at the academy, she's but given a Junior Officer badge, allowing her to participate in operations with other senior Policus Officers.
Error Power:

Radar: Nechronica can get a overview of an large area around her, at least a 100 feet diameter, or even larger if she concentrates. She can even maintain a Radar while doing strenuous action which will allow her a much greater situation awareness. Radar also allows her to detect things that normally cannot be seen, such as invisible forces or hidden threats, as well as other things as stated below.

Trajectory Probability - A fairly complicated power, but essentially it allows Nechronica to get a visual idea of the direction and possible reaction of objects when force is applied to them. Originally it allowed her to get an idea of where her bullets would hit, but she can also use it to figure out the direction where other objects in motions would be going towards, and account for such things like random explosions or things getting in the way (Not that she can predict when those things happen, but she can include them in the Probability). Mostly uses this ability to cheat at pool and dice, but it has other applications.​

Search & Destroy - Basically this ability allows for Nechronica to magically locate for a specific object, depending on the criteria she makes for it. This ability can also apply to living beings. On it's own it simply gives Nechonica a natural instinct to follow a certain direction, however when used with Radar she can get a visual path to find the thing she's looking for. The Destroy part is figurative, but what she can do is "Mark" the target of her search, which will allow her to have a constant awareness of where that mark is at. She can have multiple marks active at a time and selectively chose which marks she wants to go after.​
Satellite - An ability that requires great concentration, but this power allows Nechronica to observe a location within her Radar as though she was physically there, without having to actually be there. She can selectively sense whatever would be in that area, however she cannot physically interact with anything during the Satellite duration.​

Skills/Abilities:

Nechronica has a good grasp of her magical abilities and suspect that she has more powers than what she currently possesses. She has a fundamental grasp of basic magic as well, but a masterful ability to identify magic, both before it happens and afterwards. A forensic magician, sort to say.

Combat wise Nechronica is adaptable with handguns, rifles, hand-to-hand, and using rods and other similarly sized weapons to deal with all matters of threats. She's a rather sturdy woman, but knows that in a strength contest she won't be able to match up to most thugs, so she emphasis her speed and durability to out maneuver her opponents and whittle them down until she can finish them off. Additionally, she has unique training by her "adopted" father which allows her to effectively use her firearms in a melee, to make use of point-blank shots or simply using her guns as bludgeoning weapons.

Nechronica is also very acrobatic and athletic. Of course she has to be while working for the Policus, but specifically she has a very good build for chasing down criminals or reaching hard-to-get locations, where she can set up a sniping position of plant a bug of some sort.

Nechronica is also highly efficient at operating vehicles and other types of machinery, including the Policus Mechanized Mobile Armor. The only vehicles that she wouldn't know how to operate on the fly would be types of watercraft, like boats.

She has also taken courses in first aid for not only minor injuries, but also for bullet wounds, vehicles accidents, drowning, fire damage, poisoning, heavy lacerations, and a couple of other on-the-spot emergencies. She can do her best to treat the injuries, but normally the best she can do is just stabilize the victim until proper help can arrive.

Lastly, Nechronica has begun learning how to play the drums. She's still a novice as far as experience goes, but she shows promise. She at least can synchronize with a rhythm, but she has a long way to go before she starts playing on her own.

Equipment/Possessions:

Nechronica has her own apartment for Policus officers. It's fairly small with only one bedroom, bathroom, and common room. She also has a Police Cruiser that she can use for patrols or for her own reasons, a gift from her father. She has a drum set that she plays with sometimes when she's relaxing at home. Her most prized possession is a Sparkle Belle Lovejoy Limited Edition Song Collection, collected when Sparkle Belle Lovejoy was just starting her career as a singer. Nechronica is a big fan.

Weapon wise, Nechronica technically can commission any weapon from the Policus Armory with the right paper work, but personally owns an Electroshock Pistol (Think a Taser but without the darts) which she can switch to Nonlethal mode (Or rather, less lethal), an anti-personal Kinetic Shockgun (Think Laser Shotgun that really could blow you across the room), and a Stun Stick she calls "Edge Breaker" because she customized her stick to be able to sunder other metal objects with ease, allowing her to break down doors, shatter blades, or crush bones through armor. She also carries a few crowd dispersal smoke grenades for when she needs to flush out people from buildings or clear out streets. Not only does it cause violent coughing, but direct skin contact could cause blisters and blindness. It can even go through thick clothing, and requires a specific chemical injection in order for the smoke to not affect your body. She also carries a sort of handcuff/EMP generator that she can slap onto people or objects, which not only drains them of their magic but either renders them paralyzed through electrical shock or fries their electronics (Potentially both). Nechronica also wears Policus Armor, though generally only the leg armor and chestplate. She also has a mask that allows her to breath safely in toxic-air environments or underwater.

Name:
Felicia Bell

Age:
Looks 14-16

Gender:
Female

Where are you today?
Felicia is a young actress and model in Nera, mostly well-known for her eerie, doll-like appearance and appeal to viewers due to her albinism.

She suddenly appeared in the media about six months ago as an upstart young model, her looks catching the eye of photographers and moviemakers alike. She started out with modeling, and soon was asked to play a minor role in a movie, and it all went on from there. Now she's scheduled to play out her first starring role in a movie to be filmed in Neo-Babylon.

While she doesn't seem like it, she's good at getting into her role and forgetting herself for the sake of acting, a startling change from her usual poker-faced appearance when not at work. She seems to come alive more when she's acting than when she's herself, and perhaps that is because she feels she doesn't have much to live for now - she's 300 years misplaced without her friends and family.

That, and she's not sure what to do about her abilities (Error powers)... She's sure they're not normal even in the current world's laws for magic. She can conjure her wings and do with them as she pleases, and there is seemingly little to no limits to it. So during her spare time, she's devoted herself to studying magic as best as she could.


Error Power:

Wing Manifestation - Felicia can conjure a pair of large, feathery white wings from her back, enough to support her weight in flight. She can also manipulate the size if she wants to, and regrow or regenerate them from damage.

From this theme she gets:

Sharpness Manipulation - she can manipulate the sharpness of each and every feather she has ever made, even the ones no longer attached to her wings. The maximum sharpness she can achieve with this stops just short of cutting the strongest material known to man - diamond.

Wing Blades - her wings are blade-tipped and razor sharp enough if she wills them to be, and can also be strong enough to use for protection, impervious to sharp weapons or projectiles like bullets. Because of this trait she also uses them as shields to cover her once they're hardened.

Feather Projection - to be used with her Wing Blades power, she can project her feathers as projectile weapons like knives, as well as manipulate or levitate them - as long as they're her feathers. She also manipulates the feathers into shields in front of her.


Skills/Abilities:

Flight - when she manifests her wings she can use them for flight. She's skilled enough to hold herself in the air for an unspecified amount of time, as well as dodge projectiles or do aerial combat with her wings and feathers while also flying, a feat of multitasking.

Acting - her acting skills are enough that she's able to lie to anyone or even convince herself, or manipulate other people into her plans for her benefit. She's not particularly proud of this.

Piano - she doesn't use this skill in public, only using it for her own leisure. She's good at it, and it's one of the few skills she's actually proud of for excelling at.

Intellect - she has enough intelligence to be able to effectively act and manipulate other people, or plan ahead for herself. Her strengths lie in watching people and picking out their weaknesses as well as what they like, and how to pander to their desires or convince them.

Combat - for her combat ability, she's more skilled with using her feathers as projectile knives and aerial combat since she takes to the air easier. However she does have knowledge of how to defend herself in close quarters, having skill with the blade. She's fast due to her small size (4'11") and slender stature, light on her feet.

Intermediate Magic - she doesn't show it to anyone for the sake of maintaining her image as the doll-like actress of Nera, but she's able to use magic efficiently enough to form barriers to protect her or what look like 'hand blades' (like the Guard Skill: Hand Sonic ability from Angel Beats!) from her arms. She's also efficient enough to be able to heal with it using her hands.


Part of her magic repertoire:

Guard Skill: Hand Sonic - the blades manifested are capable of cutting through steel. Not as sharp as her wings or feathers but they get the job done. The limitations with her hand sonic is that she can only manifest these as long as she has enough reserves of mana left in her.

Guard Skill: Hand Sonic # 1 - she can manifest a blade made out of mana, sharpened and resembling a longsword, from the tops of her arms extending away from her.

Guard Skill: Hand Sonic # 2 - a longer, thinner version of her first Hand Sonic. Has a curved diamond shape on its tip. Mainly used, because it's lighter, for greater speed.

Distortion - allows her to create a barrier in front of her to deflect bullets, the drawback is this takes all of her focus to maintain, making her go on the defense. She has to take it down if she wants to go on the offense again, or at least use her feather-flechettes and her wings as shields instead.

Healing - placing her hands over the injured part accelerates the regeneration of cells and tissue through mana, giving a soothing cool feeling. The limitations are she can't cure diseases, only inflicted wounds like cuts and gashes, as well as bruises.

Equipment/Possessions:

She has a pension house in Neo-Babylon, with high enough security (it uses her fingerprint as well as face and voice recognition) that she feels secure enough to let loose in it. Which is why it usually has remnants of her feathers scattered around in it which doubles for defense since she's able to manipulate them. She also practices her magic inside of it in private.

She has a black velvet hair ribbon that she usually wears.

Skye+Stracke Elizia.jpg
Name:

Elizia

Age:
16

Gender:
Female

Where are you today?:
Elizia first awoke in the busy bustling city of Neo Babylon, almost getting hit by a car at that very moment. After calming down from that first ordeal, Elizia could actually get a look at her surroundings and almost immediately felt very, very out of place. There were many strange, moving contraptions, the place smelled weird, tall, tall buildings, and so many unfamiliar faces? Where were her family and friends?

Many of her first days were spent with many close calls. Elizia eventually got word of safe places called 'homeless shelters'. For the next few weeks, Elizia lived the homeless life, using the shelters as a place to sleep if she could get a spot. During that time she had learned about magic and mana, learning a few basic spells from some of her fellow homeless. Magic was very strange, yet fascinating. It was also during this time she came across her ability to pull a sword from the palm of her hand, having first used it to defend a friend who was seriously wounded by a monster that appeared in from the shadowy alleys.

Despite all these things she was experiencing, all these powers and the growing realization she would never see her friends and family again, one thing remained the same: Singing. Elizia could still sing and still enjoy music. Often she would sing to help her get through the day as she explored Neo Babylon. She'd usually sing old lullabies but lately has been singing newer songs such as Sparkle Belle LoveJoy's songs because she hears her music all the time.

Elizia's homeless life changed one day as she was walking through a manufacturing part of Neo Babylon. She heard a scream and followed the yell to find a very young girl being attacked by a monster, like the one who had wounded her friend. Elizia defeated the monster and helped the girl find her father who was practically pulling his hair out searching for his daughter. The grateful man, turns out, is a member of the charitable Shark family and as payment and part of his gratitude for rescuing his daughter, the man offered her a place to stay in one of his apartment complexes. The man and his daughter visited her every week, bringing warm meals along with the wife and sometimes the kinda snobby, arrogant (okay and maybe handsome) son of theirs. It was almost as if she were part of the family. Almost. The Shark family wouldn't adopt her. No, no. Those at the head of the family were very, very picky in letting outsiders take on their family name. Still, that little branch of the family were very good to her and helped her with her adjustment to Neo Babylon.

Error Power:
  • Sword Manipulation: Elizia can manipulate, shape and combine her swords to her desire. Whether it be to elongate the sword to reach far distances, or shorten it into a knife, or even combine them to form a barrier. She is also able to levitate them above ground and fight an enemy from afar or to have a large number of them rain down on her opponents.
  • Sword Summoning:Elizia can summon a multitude of swords, with 10 being the maximum. They can appear out of nowhere if she desires, but the first one must always be drawn from the palm of her hand.
Skills/Abilities:
  • Singing: Elizia likes to sing in her free time. She usually chooses street singing over places likes clubs or bars, but every now and then she would go to a karaoke bar for fun. She also has picked up guitar. She's not quite good at it yet, having only started it in the past year, but she practices and sometimes she takes her guitar with her when singing.
  • Magic: Elizia has a basic grasp of how mana works and the use of magic. It's another weird concept to her, especially have no such recollection of magic before her 300 year sleep. With simple, basic spells, Elizia can enhance herself to help her gain the upper hand. Enhancements do include super speed, night vision, levitation conjuring and basic defense spells.
  • Pickpocketing: As a homeless, Elizia did learn how to pick pockets.
Equipment/Possessions:
  • Elizia own a small apartment in Neo Babylon given to her by the father of the young girl she had saved.​
  • She owns a basket-hilted sword called Assurance.This is the main form of her swords, but she can make it grow wider, shrink into a knife, curve it as long as it still resembles the original form.​
  • Elizia own a diary. At the recommendation of the Shark Family wife, she bought it to help her record down memories of her new life. Unfortunately, she hasn't been filling it up as much as she wants to, either out of a block of what to write or completely forgetting it. She does aim to change it as she experiences so much she doesn't want to forget.​

Oh, was it? I'm sorry, I must have misread xD I'll fix it.
 
I'm still working on it as I go along, but i put the CS in so that I can at least have this to think about it in the back of my head as I go about my day
 
Now Sparkle and Felicia have way more in common then Sparkle and Jin, this is going to be fun.
 
I'm looking forward to this. :) Sparkle and Felicia could be friends too, they could have heard of each other or met each other in Neo-Babylon.
