» CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character NAME: Hoshi Hikari.
Character PULL-POINT: During her fight with General Dolorus.
Character AGE: 19.
Character ABILITIES: Hoshi is known as Master Traveler Vita, a human being who was granted amazing powers to protect the weak and innocent. She's granted a set of armor in this form and is able to wield a sword among other such weapons with the use of cards she keeps on her person at all times. Beyond this, she's capable of fighting hand-to-hand without her armor and is a decent strategist.
Travelers are trained combatants in Hoshi's world who have been doing such things since early in their childhood and to be one is an honor as there isn't very many of them around. They are gifted with incredible powers based around a certain item - cards, devices, what have you and they are called in when the GAP (Global Alliance of Protection) cannot combat the Gnocem anymore. Travelers are also cyborgs in nature, meaning that they've been altered by the GAP in order to be able to sustain their powers in full without overheating or causing further harm than necessary to their bodies. Should overheating happen, the DRIVER System will malfunction, causing unbearable pain to the wielder.
So far, she has access to two of her more powerful forms, those being Chariot and High Priestess with Empress being locked to her. Chariot deals with raw power while High Priestess is focused on speed. To access these forms and other powerful attacks, all Hoshi has to do is scan a card and the effect will happen as long as Hoshi has enough energy to execute the attack. Her motif is the Major Arcana of the tarot and has effects based on each card in the Arcana.
Character HISTORY:
Long ago, in a futuristic world, humans were in control of the Earth and reigned supreme to everything around. Things were good for a time until the robotic companions that humans cherished turned against their friends and forced a select handful into becoming something more diabolical. The name for this new species was "Gnocem", humans who lost their humanity and gave in to the urges to hurt their so-called lesser species all in the name of converting them over to the "right" side.
This worked entirely too well for the Gnocem as it turned out that once someone was converted, they would follow orders absolutely and soon, Earth was overrun by Gnocem and humans were near extinct. This was until the humans decided to make a safe haven to recuperate and repopulate so that they can fight back in earnest against the Gnocem. This brought about the rise of the Global Alliance of Protection, an international squad of highly trained individuals tasked with keeping the peace on Earth and protect the weak. Eventually, Praedisio, this safe haven, became important to protect as well as a force to be reckoned with. Society flourished and soon, people could try to live normal lives without too much trouble.
However, it soon dawned on society that they couldn't just take the Gnocem down by themselves as bullets proved to be ineffective as well as bare fists. They would have to get smarter, wiser, and thus began Project Travelers that was sponsored by the GAP. A select group of humans based on their performance in a few categories were chosen to become Travelers. Since the system was relatively untested, Travelers only had a couple of months in service before they would be removed from the program for either underperforming or not living up to the changing standards that were put in place.
As a few years went past to develop and perfect this technology, it was found out that to maintain the incredible power of the DRIVER System, some modifications would have to be made to the Travelers. This began the birth of cyborgs - beings who have superpowers as well as the capabilities to handle the stress brought about by the DRIVER System as well as what the Gnocem can throw at a person. The next series of Travelers were more successful and those who failed were weeded out so as to perfect the System.
Here is where our protagonist, Hoshi, comes in. Hoshi was born to a salaryman for a father and a doctor for a mother in Praesidio's Greater Tokyo area, with the Hikari family being a prosperous and successful family overall. However, one thing that would worry the Hikari family was that Hoshi was born with dextrocardia situs inversus totalis with her entire visceral organ system being on the opposite sides of where they would be normally. However, even with this rare medical condition, it really didn't impede on her general quality of life outside of a weaker immune system than normal. During her time growing up, Hoshi elected to be in Project Travelers as she looked up to what they represented because she, too, wanted to explore the world beyond the confines of the dome.
At first, Hoshi was pretty awful at keeping up with the training she was given. She would have low marks on her tests and perform quite badly at things, which was pretty common for new recruits. However, it seemed like the training wasn't working, even though Hoshi was trying her best to keep up with everyone else who was competing for the Traveler title. Eventually, she was told that she'd have to shape up or she'd be among the already long laundry list of recruits who didn't make the cut. Not one to have her dream be taken from her so easily, Hoshi decided to man up and improve at her training at all costs.
Those involved were impressed at the results and had an idea who would be the first official Traveler. Thus, Hoshi graduated with top marks and was given the name Master Traveler Vita during high school and she was soon sent on missions to defeat the Gnocem as well as give the GAP any leads into securing more land for Praesidio to expand. Along the way, it was discovered that if Hoshi used The Judgment card she was given, the Gnocem could be reverted to who they used to be: humans. This was a brilliant discovery for the GAP as it would help bolster their own defenses and be able to get any sort of intel needed to combat the Gnocem.
Character PERSONALITY: This is where you'll describe your character's personality. It is important to focus on your character's motivations and their goals, as well as their behaviour in any given situation and their interactions with others. We would like a minimum of three full-length paragraphs, as this is easily the most important aspect of your character.
» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Her armor, or rather the Vita DRIVER System. As it was designed, the stronger her bonds are with people, the stronger her armor and weapons will be. While she does have an array of weaponry at her disposal, they're only as strong as the bonds she's formed with other people. Should these bonds fail or be erased, her weapons won't be as strong as they should be and thus, that's why keeping her friends and allies close to her is essential.
Character INVENTORY: A few changes of clothes, a couple of textbooks from her classes, her dog tags and medical bracelet, a headset, badge, a few handguns with ammunition, the Vita DRIVER System and her pack of cards.
» SAMPLES
First PERSON:
Yo, Exsilium! Guess it's pretty happenstance for us to be taken from our homes at an inopportune time, yeah?
[ Her voice is fairly peppy for someone who just got here. It seems like she's wanting to make friends, if the way she's waving is any indication. ]
Anyway, my name is Hoshi and it's really nice to meet you all. It seems I'm housed in room [number here] if anyone would like to meet up or do something. I'm down with anything as long as it's not, like, face down an entire legion of goo monsters with a toothbrush or something wacky like that.
Third PERSON:
The last thing she remembered was fighting against General Dolorus and his legion of Gnocem. Scala had warned her that she was about to overexert the System and to return to Praesidio to recover, but her stubbornness told her that she could at least wipe out a significant threat to the dome while having enough power to get home, but she wasn't expecting General Dolorus to be as strong as he was. Maybe that's why she was hearing her system begin to beep and soon, her transformation broke in a blaze of smoke and her facing down the edge of his blade trailing down her cheek. She was ready to accept her fate as a failed Traveler right then and there before...
Before she was teleported to here? Where was here? And more importantly, where was Earth and Praesidio and the GAP and General Dolorus?
"I have to get home," were her first words that came out of her mouth before she was told everything about Exsilium at once, nearly missing everything that was being said. Okay, she was a Transport, something about missions, don't worry about home and what was that last part? She was soon escorted out of the room as she clamored on about more questions and growled when her face met the door.
Okay, then. This was weird and not to mention that she was rudely denied her questions. But, well... She was sore, beat within an inch of her life, and...
Her stomach shortly growled and she groaned. "Food first, obviously." She opened the tablet up and accessed the map to go to the mess hall before making her trek there. After all, food was essential in maintaining the Vita DRIVER System.
