//Bomb the Light - Io Sashi
This bio is being shifted from a fandom setting to an original setting. As such, the bio is under construction.


Io Sashi
BASICS//
Age:
18
Species: Lappa
Allusions:
  • Io, a moniker that sounds like a battle cry in the lappa language. It signifies the parents' wish for their child to be strong-willed.
  • Sashi, a word that means "rainstorm" in a dead language. It was historically given to lappa that immigrated to Arandai, who were evacuating their islands due to a hurricane.
Image: x
Height: 5'9" (176 cm)

EQUIPMENT//
Tips:
Her weapons, resembling an odachi, a katana, and a kodachi.
Notepad: Io's composition book. The inside is full of diagrams and neat paragraphs on various topics - architecture, geography, combat, medical science.

ABILITIES//
Ice Will:
She has confidence in herself, trust in her skills, and the fortitude not to back down from a challenge.
Research and Investigation: Io has a knack for careful observation, looking for clues, and doing research. Whether she's poring over books or looking over the aftermath of a battle, she can hunt up all sorts of information.
Shadow Walker: She's good at moving around undetected, but also hiding and eavesdropping.
Warnings: Io's sprays. These are symbols Io casts onto people or things for dangerous effects. Their effects activate after three seconds, or when Padma mentally triggers them, whichever comes last. The effects can stack, but Io must trigger the warnings in the order she casts them. In the center of each warning is an exclamation point with a heart in place of the dot; they are all in shades of blue.
  • Grapple warning: pulls Io towards the target. Lotus shape, top view.
  • Bleed warning: passively increases the damage the target takes from subsequent attacks. Io can maintain it over time, but doing so is tiring. Lotus, front view, with shattering petals.
  • Combustion warning: sets the target on fire. If cast on small, fragile objects, the warning can make them explode. Flame shape.
  • Shock warning: debilitates the target with an electric shock, causing short-term paralysis and damage. Three spiraling lightning bolts.
  • Unknown warning: Io has only been able to partially form this warning warning; the effects are thus unknown. Scattered petal shape.
Petal System: Io's fighting style is characterized by carefully placed strikes and planned patterns of warnings. She's also good at defending herself while analyzing an opponent, so she can attack them efficiently when the time comes.

WEAKNESSES//
My Way or the Highway:
Io assumes she's the most rational person in the room, and can be demanding and dismissive when she feels like people aren't listening to her. This has only gotten worse since the onset of her illness.
Timebound: If Io doesn't have time to plan a task or set up in battle, she's kind of fucked. She depends on carefully laid strategies.
Atrophy: Io's joints constantly ache. Her medication can usually manage it well enough for her to fight, but it can't manage occasional, poorly-timed pain spikes. The acute shooting pain makes Io drop anything she's holding, struggle to stand, and if it's severe enough, she'll vomit.

BIO
Io was born in a small, disgraced town, to the lappa mistress of an aryel business executive. She spent her childhood not knowing him, believing he was a soldier who'd left her mother. Mom was actually blackmailing him into financially supporting them. The two never lacked materially, but because her town's desperate people attracted Lightbringers, she still grew up learning to fight.

She started making the connection when she was a teenager. After she got her father's name from some financial documents, she snuck into Arandai with some workers to find him. She made it into his office pretending to be a servant. When she introduced herself as his daughter and asked what had happened, he said she reminded him of her whore of a mother and that he wanted her to leave.

After security dragged her out, Io had prepared to be thrown on the street, but not for how she'd be feeling - or the Lightbringer her anguish would attract. The shaking woman was walking home, shaking, when a glassy jellyfish the size of a lion appeared in her way. It asked how badly she wanted to know her father. Io would do anything. She asked a favor of the Lightbringer, to know her father's relationship to her mother and why he'd left. The past flickered into her eyes like a divine vision, and despite knowing the extent her family was broken, knowing was enough to help her sleep that night.

Months later, the Lightbringer came to collect. It craved grief, and asked her to remove any life from her immediate family that she chose. When Io refused, it fought her, and it would've won if a Writer had not intervened. The Writer killed the Lightbringer, but not before it stung Io and injected its sickness into her body: her joints would ache constantly, and break down over the course of a few years, before her body burnt alive from inside out.

It was then that Io decided to join the Writers - she was still strong enough to fight, and she wanted to find a cure. The Writers hypothesized that a cure for this disease could be found studying Lightbringers' bodies, and Io was determined to find it. She wasn't ready to die.

//Bomb the Light - Yujin Hemerah
This bio is being shifted from a fandom setting to an original setting. As such, the bio is under construction.


Yujin Hemerah
BASICS//
Age:
18
Species: Human
Allusions:
  • Yujin, a Girian name combining "yu" for gold and "jin" for skin. Signifies a wish for a brave character.
  • Hemerah, a Girian surname that means "spear". Historically given to spear-wielding Girian hunters.
Image: x
Height: 5'11" (181 cm)

EQUIPMENT//
Tips:
Spiked bracelets. Her sprays can appear close to her body, or they can be punched or kicked short distances.
Charcoal bag: A bookbag that contains Yujin's charcoals, charcoal paper, and a small photograph of her family.

ABILITIES//
Stable Heart:
Loyal, calm in crisis, and willing to work long and hard for her goals.
Artist's Senses: Yujin is good at noticing a lot of details in a short time - where all the exits are, and what could be used as an improvised weapon, but also what spices are in the roast so she can make it for her team at home.
Tastemaker: Cooking, charcoal drawing, and decorating are among Yujin's skills. She's responsible for her dorm room being the place of comfort it is.
Counters: Yujin's sprays. These symbols are cast in the air to intercept or reflect oncoming attacks. Yujin can have many active at once, but they can only be cast for a brief time. Their unifying design elements are a reflective texture and a cut gemstone shape.
  • Smoky Quartz: Absorbs projectiles out of the air.
  • Amethyst: Shoots absorbed projectiles back.
  • Rose Quartz: Cast in front of a physical attack, like a shield. Rapidly reflects the energy back as a pink explosion.
  • Citrine: Absorbs any attack as a projectile or kinetic energy. Can be maintained as long as Yujin can concentrate on it (it fails if she gets startled or has to direct her focus to something else). When Yujin releases it, it reflects all of the absorbed attacks back as a golden AoE wave.
Aiga: Yujin's fighting style is a martial art that focuses on balance control, steadfast retaliations, punches, and blocks. Even when her skin is splitting from spray overuse, she can fall back fairly reliably on her Aiga.

WEAKNESSES//
Island:
Yujin is coarse, blunt, and aloof, to the point of rudeness. Though she does want to get close to someone and stop being a lone wolf, she comes off as a misanthrope because of her cold disposition.
Overburn: She doesn't know when to hold back or give up. In fact, she has a poor understanding of her own limits and which battles to pick.
Elementary: Yujin's sprays lack the ability to move her around, apply crowd control, or do much at all besides shield and reflect. Opponents with less straightforward strategies can out-maneuver and overwhelm her.

MARJORIE MORGAN LOVERS
Demon: Vampire
Age: Frozen at 24; actually 99
Birthday: 31 August (Celtic sign: Rainbow Salmon)
Height: 5'6''
Occupation: Homeless NEET
Hobbies: Watching anime, posting on imageboards, drawing manga


Personality: An old soul constantly looking for new haunts. In truth, she's just tired all the time because she rarely gets to feed; technology is a boon to her lazy and messy lifestyle. While she's constantly sleepy, she is also tenacious, clever, and a jokester. (Seriously, she loves puns, the more groan-inducing the better.) Also uses embarrassingly outdated memes and l33tspeak since she has no concept of time.

Bio: Marjorie was was born and raised in Allswell, as a science prodigy trying to break into being a female police detective. She did informal work for them, when they needed help investigating a grisly string of murders that'd been plaguing the town. She came close to locating the killer, a mole within the police, when he got to her first and turned her into a vampire.

She refused his offer of love, and turned him in. But her life was already changed forever, and she was soon tossed from the police force due to sexist rumors about being romantically involved with the killer. Her parents kicked her out, and she became homeless - and afraid to make an attempt to help people again. She fed on the occasional fleeting lover, but spent most of her time in public libraries, sleeping and reading the day away between bookshelves.

TARA LANG MOON
Demon: Werewolf
Age: 25
Birthday: 10 November (Celtic sign: White Hound)
Height: 5'9''
Occupation: Veterinarian
Hobbies: Carpentry, home improvement, riding her motorcycle


Personality: Dependable, stable, and stoic. She likes getting do-lists done and hates asking for help. The type of person who jury-rigs solutions and still gets the job done well and on time. She also has an impulse to protect and take care of people (and animals); she'll wear herself out over other people, despite her "rigorous" self-care regimen of healthy eating and exercise. Doesn't like to talk about herself.

Bio: Tara was raised by her grandparents, who took her to Allswell to escape the influence of the biker gang that killed her parents (who were members). Her grandparents wanted to give her the life her parents couldn't give her, but they soon learned she'd inherited the family curse: lycanthropy. They kept her indoors and caged her human side, but they couldn't stop the wolf from searching for a pack of her own.

She found one at 19, when she'd gotten a bike of her own. Or rather, she found a friend of her father's, injured in a shootout. She patched him up as best she could with her pre-vet knowledge, but he warned her to never go searching for her family again. She's heeded that warning... until she started hearing bikes and howling around Allswell.


Persona: Fenrir
Resists/Weak: Curse/Bless

CHRISTOPHER ANDERS MAGICIAN
Demon: Fae
Age: 21
Birthday: 22 March (Celtic sign: Seahorse)
Height: 5'7''
Occupation: Waiting tables at the local pizzeria, taking care of the kids section at Victorian Garden
Hobbies: Gardening, historical fiction romance novels, cooking


Personality: Gentle, patient, and soft. He's good at taking care of people, and comfortable with the 'soft boi' label. Or so he says. In reality, Christopher hates himself for being weak. He worries deep down that he'll become like his mother - angry, impulsive, suicidal. To compensate, he immerses himself in work.

Bio: Christopher was raised by a single father - his mother, a fae, was mentally unstable and lost all custody of her child after her divorce. He grew up mostly well-adjusted, except when he started starving himself in high school. His father noticed his meal-skipping and declining health and took him out of town for treatment, fortunately before permanent physical damage could occur. Eventually, Christopher graduated from treatment and high school, and went to community college to study English.

That would end early when his father fell ill with progressing multiple sclerosis. Christopher dropped out of school to support his father, working two jobs. He spends his leisure time gardening, trying to become stronger, and his friend Tara keeps him stable. Unfortunately, she's been less able to help him the more stressed she's been about her own family.


Persona: Drow
Resists/Weak: Darkness/Thunder
