Username: Reformatted Sky
Name: Klaus Maschun
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Bio: Klaus grew up in a small town, at which form an early age he loved to work metal and create little steam engines. Once in his early teens, he moved to the city, attending the university. He learned basic biology and garnished a lot of attention by building large combat knights made with just steam engines. Once hired by the nobles in the area, he told them he could revolutionize warfare, demonstrating several powerful weapons as well as a new tool that could help amputees, prosthetic that moved by tapping into human's dormant energy, with no need for steam engines or water tanks. They didn't believe nor would they let him test it. Slicing his own arm off, he attached a piece of rock, which doesn't conduct heat onto his arm at the bone, and connected five oddly shaped prongs that stick out, called keys. One in the middle, and four at the cardinal directions. He slid on the prototype and locked the 'keys' into place, which point it activated and moved at his whim. He showed it to everyone, in which the cast him into a cell for blasphemy against God. After many years they let him out and stripped him of his money, but not of his hatred of them. He could no longer get work anywhere. Going into seclusion, he learned to make bullets and gunpowder as well as what made good explosives. After many months, he went back to the castle, destroying it and all the nobles before vanishing into the countryside.
He still performs mad-experiments on people and animals, leaving monsters and demon like machines in his wake. Though it may seem random, he really on takes the weak and dying and gives them new means to live.
He recently woke up in this place, unsure where he is or what it is, he goes around exploring and experimenting on the different wildlife.
Personality: Although insane and thinking everything can be 'improved' (Warning results may vary). He generally tries to help people, but not often how they think would be best. His basic study of biology makes him realize how weak flesh and bone are.
Appearance: He has bright green eyes, long brown hair that is slightly curly, always pulled back into a pony tail. He wears a part of dark goggles that have little backup lenses that let him using them as binoculars. The right has several lenses with an light X across them. Wears often a large black leather coat that goes down to his knees, the left having a shoulder-cape made into it, since his arms don't always fit a sleeve. His undershirt is a simple, white dress shirt with a black neck tie around his neck. He wears black pants with combat boots with metal on the front of them. On his right shoulder is a strange symbol in deep red. He also wears a traditonal cowboy hat for some strange reason. Always has the straps from his large back pack that he carries around.
Powers: Just really smart. Also, Insane
Equipment: Remington 1858 .44 Revolver, Modified for metal bullets (instead of percussion caps). Image
Bolt Rifle: A Large rifle looking weapon with a large rectangle clip on the bottom, and on the side, that fires out small cylinders packed with dominate and an ignition cap (White phosphorus) that explode on impact. The bottom clip holds eight of the cylinders, the side holds the water and and steam as it shoots. It has to be cocked after each fire.
Left Arm, removed from just above the elbow down. Has four alternate lower arms. They are:
'Schön' - An arm that is made form highly sensitive clockwork that has a thin layer of faux leather that mimics his original skin. It is slightly weaker then a normal human arm, and breaks easily.
'Funf' - His favorite combat arm. It has five bulky movable fingers. when needed, they lock in place, the wrist spinning rapidly. It'll unload, revealing it to be a steam powered gatling gun. Its adorned in brass and there is a side that sticks on on the arm where the bullet chain and the water is stored for the steam
'Säbel' - This arm took more work to build then the 'Funf', but it still quite nice. It starts with two blades that are folded up to form a shield on the left arm. When activated, the turn around and reveal their sharp-edges. When he triggers it again, they pop open and a third, longer straight sword comes out allow him to fight a little better. When the third blade is out, it unlocks the wench motor that then allows him to move it around and such like a swordsman holding it in his hand. ON the underside, there is a small orb, that when needed, five little fingers pop out.
'Felsen' - The heaviest of the four, housing threw large weights that are used as its fingers. The upper forearm is taken up by a rather large wench. The hand launches off, pounding targets that are far away into dust. Since this is the heaviest one, it has connectors that connect into his upper arm, with a large steam furnace that sits over his shoulder to power it and the rocket punch.
Large Container Pack, that unfolds and holds all his arms and extra bullets and such. Can be used as a sheild in worst case scenarios.
Belief: Mad Science, Steampunk, Machines

Red of Battlefire

PostPosted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 6:42 pm


Username: Red of Battlefire
Name: Alicia Mary
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Bio: Alicia lived on a world like ours, modern technology no magic, she went to school as a child and longed for adventure until it found her. When she turned 16 things started changing starting when she found a certain black glove at Walmart and tried it on. She was completely unable to take it off and soon discovered that around her all electricity would drain. This led to many problems especially when the slightly insane owner of the glove found her and tried to take it back via hacking her arm off. In the truly epic fight Alicia's left arm was completely blown off by a carbomb.
She woke up in the hospital a month later mostly dead. A close friend of hers then took it on as a project to make her a new arm using high quality robotics and lightweight metal. As time went on they worked on it together and after a while they found themselves remembering things that hadn't happened to them because a universe parallel to theirs was colliding with theirs.
About then the Collapse Theory noticed her universe. As far as she can tell she is the only survivor from both of the universes though she ended up getting the powers of her parallel self in addition to the memories.
Personality: Alicia is on the quiet side. She used to be rather outgoing but the loss of her world and everything she knew was quite a blow to her. She is now quiet and a bit withdrawn and very wary of strangers. She does not yet know how she fits in with this changed world she has found herself in and griefs the loss of all she knew.
Appearance: Alicia had long auburn hair and deep blue eyes that are almost indigo. She is about 5'10" and marginally attractive. Her hair is a touch silvered and her ears pointed from getting merged with her parallel and she looks like a kind person. Her clothes are plain but rather modern a white shirt and a green rather rough cloth button up shirt on top with a V neck showing some of the white shirt beneath. She also wears jeans and Adidas sneakers and carries her stuff in a blue schoolbag. She wears a long sleeved jacket almost all the time to conceal her arm.
Her left arm is made entirely of metal as well as part of that shoulder. She always wears long sleeved shirts to cover as much of it as possible and a black glove to make her look more normal. The metal arm is surprisingly slim looking much like the arm she lost.
Always wears her 'Blackout' glove on her right hand. It is made of black leather and goes most of the way up her forearm and the fingers are cut off.
Powers: Magic along the lines of white or holy and some wild magic
Robotics and metalwork
Her Brain, she throws it at people! (jk) she just has mad skillz and a lot of information crammed into her brain
Equipment: Blackout Glove: This item drains and stores vast amounts of electricity from her surroundings and is set up to power her arm. She can use it to attack with lightning or magnetism but prefers to save the power for her arm which is more or less useless if not being powered. The Glove also has a small concealed blade in it on the back of the hand which cannot be removed. Nor can the glove be removed from her living flesh by any form of magic or science yet found. She carries around the other glove in her pack for now in case there is someone she decides to give it to...
Left arm: As her arm is made of metal it is in itself a weapon. It is far stronger and faster than a human arm and, because her friend was a genius, directly wired into her nervous system. She can 'feel' things through it thanks to pressure and temperature sensors throughout the outer shell and it can be taken off for repairs. It has a few 'tool' settings like a screwdriver and things like that but mostly it is just an arm made of metal.
Her parallel self was a warrior and she is trying to learn how to use her weapons namely a pair of Sai and a longbow.
Wings: Also inherited from her parallel self she remembers the other one using them but does not know how to use or even call them herself. They are sealed for now but are made of living metal and crystal and defy normal laws in flight.
Backpack: Her old school backpack, contains many odds and ends and is gradually becoming a typical 'bag of holding'. She keeps a variety of tools in it as well as whatever food she can scavenge.
Belief: Magic Technology Science

User ImageUser ImageUsername: Cute Beast Yue
Name: Luna 'Blue' Ookami
Sex: Female
Age: Appears 17, her real age is unknown.
Bio: Back when the emperor ruled Japan, and the samurai's ways were dominate. Where mighty men did everything in their power to live by the sword and die by the sword in an honourable death and serve their country, that was how Luna was raised.

Her mother’s parents came from a dominating bloodline. They were not nobility, but they were pretty close to nobility. They were very well respected and had a large following. Men and woman came from very far distances just to serve under them.

This was because they were one of the strongest clans of warriors known to Japan at that time. In the feudal era, Lune's long history stemmed from the very first Ookami member he was the one who began to teach his children the Ookami family arts…this was the Art of Ninjutsu, a style created by the Ookami clan themselves and one that could not be copied or changed, or even taught unless lessons were given to others.

This art was very important to the samurai, since at the time, ninja's have served the samurai as helpers. Each samurai battalion had their own designated corp of Ninja, both male and female. It just so happened that the first Ookami born served directly under the Daimyo as his ninja. For decades, it was that way. The next born of the Ookami blood worked side by side to the next Daimyo. That was tradition. It went that way until the Meiji era began, loosely translated it meant 'enlightened rule.'

This was when the Ookami family broke away from the emperor and refused to serve him. After the Meiji restoration began to come into effect and ended the 265-year-old feudalistic Tokugawa shogunate, the Ookami family refused to serve under the Taishō Emperor for they believed that tradition was worth fighting for. Modernization meant a loss of their culture, of their way of life; they feared Japan would forget the foundations they were built upon so long ago.

The Daimyo voluntarily surrendered their land and census records to the emperor in the Abolition of the Han system, symbolizing that the land and people were under the emperor's jurisdiction. Once that was done, the Ookami family became known for its dishonour to the emperor and was immediately discriminated against. The oldest families all chose sides, many of them believed it was futile to fight against the emperor and made the decision to change, they also wondered if it was time for Japan to change. Although it might have been a futile effort, the Ookami firmly believed in their way of life and refused to submit, no matter what.

In the end, many of the Ookami blood died in a long rebellious battle. Not surprisingly, this led to a series of riots from disgruntled samurai. One of the major riots was the one led by Saigō Takamori, the Satsuma rebellion, which eventually turned into a civil war. This rebellion was, however, put down swiftly by the newly formed Imperial Japanese Army, trained in Western tactics and weapons, even though the core of the new army was the Tokyo police force, which was largely composed of former samurai. They were known as the Shisengumi. This sent a strong message to the dissenting samurai that their time was indeed up. There were fewer subsequent samurai uprisings and the distinction became all but a name as the samurai joined the new society.

Therefore, those from the Ookami blood that survived left and headed deep into the mountain where they continued to keep up their beloved traditions. Of course, the government only tolerated this because they swore to practice it only in a dojo and not against the government. The Ookami families were also deemed as exiles allowed living as long as they abide by the rules set into place by them. With this said, the art of Ninjutsu, Ookami style, only lives on through the few remaining descendants.


Personality: Luna has a no nonsense attitude. She has a strong dominate personality. She is very quiet and sometimes or most of the time it is hard to strike up a conversation with her. Luna is very observant and will watch a person until she sees she has learned enough from them. She picks out the smallest traits, the simplest things, the most complex mannerisms. All of it, Luna can understand in only a few minutes. She is blunt, and she will tell a person exactly what she thinks, so don’t ask her unless you want an honest opinion. Luna is quite loyal, although many would not think that of her she is. In addition, if you can manage to befriend her, then she will do whatever she can to protect the ones she has a bond with. Though this is quite hard because she has built a thick wall around her that lets nothing inside and nothing out, she is often called stubborn, pessimistic and cold. Her morals are quite questionable and people believe her to be the kind of woman who could do just about anything. If there is a job that someone is skittish with, guaranteed that she will do it. But the price is always high.

Appearance: Luna stands a giant 5'3 inches, no more and no less. She has ankle length ebony black hair that is normally pulled into a pony tail atop her head, occasionally it is found braided or pigtailed. Her eyes are one of the brightest and rarest of Blues...Cerulean. Her skin is the color of alabaster and she is free of unnecessary hair and blemishes. She is very curvaceous, with round hips, a small bum and breasts that are supple, large but proportionate to her small stature. She has two black wolf tails and ears that match her hair. Along her spine she has very intricate filigree markings. They are both feminine and delicate. They are black in color and outlined in a blue a shade softer than her eyes. They branch away to curve under her breasts and up her neck. She has a matching black crescent moon on her forehead outlined in the same blue as the filigree.

Powers: Psionic's: There is a multiple things that one could do with Psionic's and as a true Psionicist, Luna has many talents with it.

Darkness and Shadow Abilities: Luna can use this as an offensive and defensive ability. She can call shadows and darkness to her and she can completely conceal her aura, hiding herself should she want to.

Kaze: and that is the ability to manipulate the wind. I can also, much like my darkness and shadow abilities use it as a weapon. It comes in handy as an offense and a defence and as my general rule; it is just fun to have. I can even run on the wind, now who would not want that.


Weapons:

Nodochi/Nodachi:

50" Blade, 4/8"
Huge 68" Overall Length.
Cloth Wrapped Handle.

Blade is able to cut threw most metals, can call upon darkness and shadow.

Ninja weapons.

Belief: Herself: In her abilities, In her existence, In her power.
Tradition: In her history, In her life and in her experiences.
Unknown: Belief in not knowing.
