[Chevaleresse]

Ah, fuck it. Have Not-Okuu.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Aurora Cavey
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human/Yatagarasu (see backstory)

Description: A girl of average height with dark auburn hair slightly over shoulder length, with a surprisingly well-muscled frame. Wears typical clothing when not transformed. When transformed, she looks like this, with a white blouse, green skirt and hair ribbon, a deep red eye-like gem in her chest, large wings that look like they belong to a raven, and a cape whose outside is a plain white but inside is what appears to be a window to deep space, the pattern shifting as both her and the viewer move. She gains an orange, hexagonal "control rod" on her right arm, used as a focus for her powers or simply to bludgeon people. It has some unidentified runes on the near end that don't seem to belong to any known language.
Backstory: A girl who had been living on the streets from a young age until she was abruptly kidnapped by a mysterious agency. She had been starving, eating virtually anything she ran across to survive, until one day she had the strange fortune to run across a fallen raven with three legs. Thinking nothing much of the bird's oddity and starving besides, upon eating it she felt her body shift and a strange feeling flare to life within her. The divine spirit (I'm assuming from some previous talk that these are things in this 'verse), unable to be completely destroyed by something so mundane, took up residence within her and fused with her being. She's been trying to gain finer control over her newfound power since, which probably lead to her capture in the first place.

Ability: Sort of an inverse magical girl. The "transformed" state is her actual form, she transforms to continue passing as fully human. She performs nuclear fusion within her own body by instinct and can harness this power for offense, though (at least initially) she is still inexperienced with controlling it.

Health   : 8
Stamina  : 10
Strength : 7
Skill    : 2
Speed    : 3
Willpower: 5


Perks: Due to the reactions happening within her body, she is considerably difficult to damage with any sort of cold. Additionally, she can subsist with very little food in comparison to the average human.

Inventory: Nothing of note.

Also, fuck it

MARIE TIME.

Spoiler: Marie Hel, Perfectly Normal CIA Office Worker (click to show/hide)

“Oh, please. I'm not a nightmare... for you.”
-Marie Hel, Staff Psychologist at REDACTED

 
Name: Marie Hel
Age: ?
Gender: Female?
Race: Literally a nightmare.

“What? Oh come on. I didn't even call them man-children taking out their frustration through thinly-justified human rights violations!"

Description: (pictures welcome) Image
Not actually Okuu. Sorry. No nuclear eyes. Or wings. OR big red third eye thing. But she does have pretty pale skin, and dark hair, and wears a classy black-and-white suit that wouldn't be out of place in the 20s, complete with fedora for tipping wildly before it goes out of fashion. Her eyes are a nice, deep blue, at odds to her skin and hair, and she carries herself with an air of consummate professionalism, though the latter is hardly unusual for spies.

What is unusual, however, is her left half. By all appearances, it seems perfectly normal- however, this is just an illusion. Various forms of True Sight will reveal that the left 50% (straight down the middle) of her body is in fact a rotted, necrotic zombie-like form, melding sharply with her apparently-living right half. Her left eye is actually a bloody red, though her hair remains much the same. Even when she applies shapeshifting, this left-right duality remains, although usually with small differences in detail.  And neither shapeshifting nor illusion can hide the texture of her skin. There's a reason she wears clothes that cover most of her body, after all.

Backstory:As far as anyone knows, she just... showed up one day. Caught a spy almost by accident, then got drafted into the CIA for security reasons after managing to impressively outplay her interrogators and at the same time prove herself not a Red Spy. Her psychological skills netted her a cozy desk job and the willingness to overlook her lack of a background, especially given that all she really does is advise on things. Many many things.Her degree is forged, and notably not listed on any records- however, her expertise is not. While her psychology skills have landed many a lead, she's not all that popular. People don't like her reports on the blatant overuse of torture as an interrogation technique, or her constant internal criticisms of the CIA's tactics that seem to be more motivated by the Red Scare than any rational plan to combat the USSR, or her willingness to criticize all these man-children sophisticated spies and field agents from the safety of her desk and the occasional (well, actually fairly common) venture into interrogation chambers. Really, what do they even pay her for, chopped liver?

Ability: Fear me! Or don't. Obviously her abilities revolve around people being scared. Marie can gain Vaguely Defined Power from the local fears, using it to heal up and become physically stronker and whatnot. Mostly heal up and maybe energize a bit, though. Alternatively, she can Devour fear outright, gaining a lot more power but using up the fear and leaving the person not feeling quite so bad.

 
She can also:
1: Shapeshift, theoretically. In practice, physics and reality doesn't like her doing this, and she reserves it largely for dreamland.
2: Cast illusions, at least on her self. The illusion to hide her true form is basically always on unless she willingly turns it off, but she is more or less incapable of performing any OTHER illusions.
3: Sneak into people's dreams. She can do this to someone she's right next to for free, or bank up some power in order to mess with someone who's far away. Good for getting fear without getting into trouble.Not as good for information gathering as you might think. Dreams tend to be pretty abstract and emotional.

totally got 35 points first try by complete accident

Perks: Being a nightmare, she knows a lot about what makes the mind tick- and she's had a lot of time to learn more. Given a moment to study a person's behavior, she can usually figure out how to make them run screaming or break down crying. (At least for NPCs. Less so for PCs because PCs operate in some fucking weird mental states.)

Inventory: A fake, folding plastic scythe, so she can pretend to be the Grim Reaper.

Classified documents to leak to her mistress. Wait, what?

She's no gun nut, nor privy to the most exotic of spy gadgets, but she is still a member of the Central Intelligence Agency, and prudence dictates she arm herself. Looks like she caries around an M1911 or derivative. Did they need gun licenses in the 60s? Probably, I suppose. If they have such things, she has one. Might have even earned it legitimately. Shocking, I know.
 

Ultra Bessie probably won't like her.

[Powder Miner]

jeeesus christ the illusionists are stacking up :V
my girl has the ability to cast illusions on herself, but her abilities are based around it entirely and it's likely far more complex and versatile on that front

[Twi]

to be fair, these illusions are very very specific
VERY specific
they can't even make her look like she's in a form she's not
probably
for now
maybe
might change it later

Spoiler: Dalanda Sangaré (click to show/hide)

Name: Dalanda Sangaré
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Fulani)

Description: Dalanda Sangaré stands at 5'4'', with a fairly slim build -- by this point she is not malnourished, but she's a thin person nonetheless. She is dark-skinned (being from West Africa and all), and on her face are a series of Fulani tattoos, a few short lines on her cheeks and a thick black ring around her lips. Her hair is black, and in a rather western style -- it goes straight down to her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark brown color, perhaps unsurprisingly. As far as clothing goes, Dalanda wears Western clothing, being in the United States and all, shirts and pants or skirts, though at more vulnerable moments she may not look too comfortable in them. She does not wear any sort of veil or headdress.

Backstory: Dalanda Sangaré was born as one of the nomadic Fula people in the center of Mali, although it wasn't Mali at the time but a French colony and a strife-filled place as decolonization loomed in the distance, undergoing the process of becoming independent. Nonetheless, Dalanda lived her life there -- sometimes there were issues with herding, sometimes some conflict with some of the less nomadic Malians, but Dalanda lived her life. But at age 13, she was kidnapped and ended up trafficked to the United States, where a rich couple bought Dalanda as a sort of status symbol. She rapidly found that they had very little interest in her besides her being their African trophy, and Dalanda learned to act like she was stupid and simple -- the better to make them not realize exactly what her true potential was, and escape her confinement from time to time to take care of herself and explore this new household she was in... and that's how she discovered the world of magic. As it turned out, Dalanda's captors weren't just a normal couple of absurdly rich and quite evil people; they were magically involved, and their house held multiple spellbooks. Dalanda stole one and taught herself to read the magic runes within them, and over a span of two years she got away with learning the contents of this book: illusion magic she could cast on herself, allowing her to further her facade of simplicity and her complexity behind it. At age 15, her captors were investigated by the FBI, and during the raid she was found and freed, ending up after a couple of months swiftly again kidnapped.

Dalanda speaks Fulani, the language of her people, Bambara, the primary spoken language of Mali, and French, the region's colonial language. Yet despite her talent for languages, she speaks absolutely no English.

Ability: The spellbook Dalanda stole and read contained illusion magic, specifically illusion magic targeted around oneself, and Dalanda has become very broadly proficient in illusions focused on herself. She can change how she looks in almost any way, making it look like she's wearing different clothing, making herself look like a completely different person or simply making up an appearance for herself, up to even making herself look larger, smaller, or nonhuman altogether (although in such cases she is basically just making herself invisible and projecting an illusion instead). She is capable of changing her voice and sounds she makes as well, and quite importantly can turn herself completely invisible as well. She can also make illusions of figures or creatures or herself that she will gladly use with invisibility to make it look like she's somewhere she isn't, or in the case of combat to make it look like she isn't attacking when she most certainlt is.

[Bluexdog]

PTW will make a character later

[Twinwolf]

Alright, added my first character, Tori, to my first post in this thread. Now I just have to decide how she got to the Farm...

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Tori Mycroft.
Age: 16
Gender:
Race:

Description: (pictures welcome)
A tall, pale youth with paper-white hair down to her shoulders, and gold-colored eyes on a delicate-looking face. She is thin and wiry in build, although she has not unnoticeable… assets *cough*. When given the option, she wears rather light clothing, more for comfort and ease of movement than anything, although when in a colder place she’ll cover up. Down her right side are grey tattoos in swirling patterns. The tattoos are magic themselves, preventing her from accidentally using her power. The hair and eye color are a result of the magic reserves. When activating her magic, her eyes and tattoos glow.
Yes, she does in fact look very fanservice-y.

She is rather ignorant to the ways of the world, having only gotten to the outside world maybe a year ago; her time at the Farm has taught her some social things, but she still lacks tact and discretion. She couldn't lie to save her life, for example, as the thought rarely occurs to her. Slang will usually go right over her head.

Backstory:
Tori doesn’t really remember where she comes from, originally. All she remembers is white rooms and the orange 3-star logo. By no means does she remember it very badly. The people in the white coats took good enough care of her. Her education was not normal; she's relatively sure of this. The basic subjects were there, yes. But so were several more languages. And a shooting range. Weapons operations training. Magic training.
And tests. So, so many tests. So many painful tests. But they were ok. She was rewarded for doing them without complaint with books. And not textbooks, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.. The labcoats never spoke to her when it wasn't about education, so all of her thoughts of the world were formed by these books.
On her way to one of these tests- she was usually a good girl, so she was allowed some freedom within the white rooms- she heard something outside the door. Two men were speaking to each other. About her. She did not like what she heard; they sounded like the villains from her books. They were going to make her hurt people for no good reason.

The next day, the men in labcoats found a human-sized hole, surrounded by metal, in the roof of Tori’s room.

--Backstory about how she found the Farm to be added--

Tori’s father is a man named Alexander Mycroft, the founder the Atlas Corporation, which is a multi-million dollar corporation that has hands in tech-development, medicine, and most importantly, weapons. Having discovered magic by accident years ago, he and the scientists under him had been looking into the creation of a magic weapon. Eventually they learned that as powerful as magical artifacts can be, they are no substitute for a living mage. One day, Alexander was informed he had a daughter- the mother being a woman he’d had a short affair with- and the mother had died in a car crash, so custody fell to him. This daughter, it was discovered, had immense latent magic power.
Tori Mycroft’s future was decided.

Ability: Tori has a variety of powers, but has primarily focused on her guns and metal. She has a large amount of control over metal, being able to move and shape it on a whim, or even convert some of the ground around her into metal. She also focuses magic through her guns, enchanting bullets, guiding shots to vital points, or using the bullets as a sort of compressed spell that is released on collision.

Stats: ((you have 35 points to spend, amount is up to vote in case people want more (less is optional)))

Health   : 6
Stamina  : 6
Strength : 3
Skill    : 9
Speed    : 5
Willpower: 9


Perks:
Guided Shots: Tori can magically guide her shots mid-flight, making it difficult for her to miss, and even harder than it usually would be for others to dodge her shots.

Inventory:
2 Semi-Automatic Pistols with a variety of runes etched in them. Assuming that she was not allowed to have them on her person (hidden of course), she'd keep them- unloaded- under her bed. She doesn't like them. But sentimental value is weird like that.
Twenty 6-inch metal rods carried in a pouch on her side.

Spoiler: Ether Ibawi "The Judge" (click to show/hide)

Name: Ether Ibawi "The Judge"
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Magical Girl)

Description: Boop.


Backstory: Ether lived a mundane middle class life in Southern Nigeria until the age of 6 when the Civil War kicked off, beginning an era of bloodshed on a scale never experienced before in the country's history. One night, Anti-Yoruba forces shelled Ether's village mercilessly, killing off her entire family, and most of the inhabitants. Days later, nuns from a nearby mission took in Ether and any other survivors in the region. At this mission, the orphaned children were allowed to stay as the Sisters organized an improvised orphanage to care for these children, with the nuns now acting as both guardians and educators. The exposure and influence of the nuns changed Ether's life from a girl who went to Church every Sunday, to a zealot devoting her entire life to God, even planning to becoming a nun herself in the far future.
As the years went on and the war wracked the nation, the amount of orphans being taken in by the mission surged to the point where it no longer had the resources to care for all of them. Thus, the nuns decided that the older children were to be sent to homes and institutions that could provide for them, and the destination of each child would be based on their own individual needs. when Ether was 14, the nuns informed her of a special orphanage deep in the belly of the United States...

Personality: As a result of both experiencing the horrors of war firsthand and an authoritarian upbringing under the nuns, Ether is a serious person who has little time for trivialities and rarely expresses her emotions openly. She is almost never idle, as she believes that there is always work to be done in God's name. When she isn't engaged in a physical activity like construction or gardening, she can often be found studying the Bible or other Christian works, or listening to religious music.
As her title would suggest, Ether does not refrain from judging others. However, her judgement does not place conventional blame on the individual, as she believes that the good and bad actions of any individual come from the presence of either divine or demonic influence to their soul, respectively.
Although Ether is extremely fervent in her beliefs, she does not insist on spreading her message verbally, preferring for her actions to teach those around her about the glory of God. She is willing to discuss her beliefs with others should they bring it up.
Ether's political and ethical views are based on her religious beliefs. For example, she does not agree with Capitalism for its Greediness and Egotism, nor is she allied with Communism for its Atheist qualities.

7 Virtue & Sins:

An important aspect of Ether's beliefs are the 7 Virtues & Sins, which manifest themselves inside everyone and are the result of the perpetual internal battle in a being's soul as God and Satan vie for influence. Ether says that everyone, regardless of who they are or what they have done, is strongly characterized by at least one sin and one virtue; the lack of Sins would be an indication of God, the lack of Virtues can only be Satan, and the lack of either indicates an absence of a soul. They have been modified since the creation of the original 7 Sins and Virtues, and are as follows:

Materialism - Idealism
Greed - Charity
Humility - Ego
Sympathy - Hatred
Production - Lethargy
Temperance - Gratification
Devotion - Apathy

Ability:

Blessing of the Lord - Ether's ability can not be instantaneously activated and first require prayer which requests what kind of aid she wants. If she is answered, the blessing can take the form of many things from transformation into a more powerful paladin form to the summoning of angels. These angels aren't cute churubs or dudes playing the harp, we're talking about the kinds of angels that are described straight from the bible. A Blessing can also be used as a last ditch life-saving/cripple-reverting heal, but like any other Blessing it is not always delivered.

Divine Judgement - At the end of a bout, Ether makes a judgement that decides the fate of her opponent. If battle has resulted in them being purged of their evil qualities, she spares them of anything further. If great evil still resonates deep within them still, Ether will put them in a state of Repentance, where they will undergo a punishment related to their Sin. (For example, a person overtaken with Greed might lose the ability to see money or understand monetary transaction.) Repentance would be ongoing until the Sin is minimized. In the most extreme cases, Ether will see the person as too corrupted by Satanic forces, and nearing the status of an actual demon. In this scenario, there is nothing that can be done and attention must be turned to banishing the demon itself via the destruction of the vessel, i.e the physical person. A single no-frills white energy-beam-type attack accomplishes this, causing complete obliteration.


Stats:

Health: 5
Stamina: 6
Strength: 3
Skill: 6
Speed: 6
Willpower: 9


Perks: Ether was instilled with a lot of practical skills and knowledge at the mission, so she's accomplished in areas like cooking, cleaning, gardening, construction, etc. She's also skilled with the piano and organ in both Classical and Hymn music.

Inventory: King James's Holy Bible, Crucifix Necklace

Sure, have mine.

It'll be here in a bit. Also, I have no idea of the lore, nor what 'Farm' these people are talking about.

[SOLDIER First]

nice

The lore is "It's kinda like the 1960s, plus Masquerade."

The Farm is a...Literal farm.  Although it also grows marijuana.

The owner foster-parents magical people.
