[crescendi]

my bones stay strong / my days, still long / my heart has many heartbeats

[virgo, esfp-a]

- appearance
Mikazuki is a broad Japanese woman, standing at 6'3", with dark hair typically kept short. A burn flares across her left side, stretching from her left earlobe down her neck and spreading beneath her clothes and xoved to her left rib. Her right middle finger is crooked from breaking and healing incorrectly in her youth. From the knee downs, her left leg is gone, and has been replaced with a prosthetic. She is physically 26 of age, but is a few centuries old.

- personality
She is a mangimous person, generally. She will not screw one over unless given a reason to. Though, you will get no special treatment for being a figure of authority. Once enraged, though, Mikazuki is a force to be truly reckoned with. Her pain tolerance is remarkably high and centuries-worth of practice with most weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Although, she is not much of a planner—your destruction will be purely physical. When intoxicated, she tends to be especially angry and, well, horny. She only drinks on the anniversary of deaths. There are many anniversaries of death. She just needs to find an excuse to start.

- worldview
Mikazuki is somewhat of a nihilist anarchist. She does not believe in any sort of authority or society and is only loyal to a select few. She does not have much in the way of morals, and believes there is no good or evil. She does not think much of the consequences of her actions. Why would she, if she could simply outlive most creatures?

- abilities
Her middle and surname is long-forgotten, and she uses a variety of aliases. She is, of course, immortal, but she still bleeds. She still hurts, even if she has had hundreds of years to get used to the pain. Her wounds have to heal, and they heal as slowly as anyone else’s. The difference being is that her body can recover from any damage sustained.
Mikazuki is proficient in most weapons and has collected many favors over the years. Her native language is Japanese, but she had picked up many others over the years.

- background
Mikazuki was born in rural Japan. Her father was abusive toward her and her younger brother. One night, enraged, she tried to burn the house down in an effort to kill everyone inside of it, including herself. This failed. She was dragged out of the flames, but part of her left leg was shattered due to the infrastructure of the house collapsing, and had to be amputated due to an infection. Years later, she would poison her father and leave, never looking back.
At age 26, she pulled off a heist successfully with a partner, who turned on her, stabbing her many times in the abdomen and leaving her for dead. This, of course, did not succeed and Mikazuki slowly, painfully, healed.
Since then, she has stuck to a life of crime and taken on many jobs, but mercenary being the most common one.

 

[crescendi]

help me make the most / of freedom and of pleasure / nothing ever lasts forever

[aquarius, istj-a]

- appearance
Glacia is a small, pale girl with icy blue eyes and long blonde hair kept in a braid. Her skin is unmarked by scars, hinting at her sheltered life. She is seventeen years old and a small seventeen, with narrow shoulders and standing at a slight 5’2”. She typically wears long sleeves, gloves, and something with a high-necked collar.

- personality
Glacia keeps a cold distance between her and everyone else. She has a tendency to overthink, if left alone and if put in a situation of action. She has a wide competitive streak and ego, and is easily insulted, although you might not realize it at first. Fortunately, she does not hold grudges. She rarely indulges in mind-altering substances, but let us call her a bit of a lightweight. Although she may seem like a cold intellectual, she is poorly inexperienced when faced with real danger, and freezes up. This is, of course, when her other self tends to act up.

- worldview
Simply put, Glacia is an arrogant girl. Whether this arrogance stems from her upbringing, inexperience, power, age, or is an inborn trait is yet to be seen. She believes in right and wrong. That is, she is always in the right. She is unfailing in this belief. It guides her every step. She is only on her own side. Fall in line with her or you are in the wrong.

- abilities
Glacia has little control over her powers, and little knowledge of how they work. She can create magical blasts from her palms, but cannot control how powerful they are. In fact, it is not always guaranteed she will even be able to tap into the power at all. In times of stress, or when she is in danger, something else takes over her consciousness. It is a being of pure magic. Its violence is complete and indiscriminate. Glacia is still somewhat aware and has some influence over her body, but not much. Her eyes turn an angry red and her skin starts turning the same shade when she is this state.
Glacia in her normal state is weak and not proficient with any weaponry.

- background
Glacia was born into riches. Her parents are distant, and prefer to leave her to her own devices. Magic was an unprecedented phenomenon in her family, and Glacia is slowly becoming obsessed with the subject.

 

[crescendi]

i’m thinking and say i think a lot of you / regardless of what you did / and what i didn't do

[libra, istj-t]

- appearance
Glass, or as he is better known, Mizani is tall, a round six foot. His hair is kept short. His skin has blue-green tint to it, the same tint as his eyes. He also has an extra set of arms, and the bottom set have two twin symbols on their backs: a curved line, like a C, with a line dashed through downward swoop. His top right arm is gone, and replaced with metal. A few pale scars trace his body, but the only telling one is covered by his clothing—it is on the small of his back, and it is a brand of a pair of scales. In human years, he is in his mid-to-late thirties.

- personality
Mizani is a stoic man. He treats even his equals harshly. He does, however, hold respect for authority, and will obey if he has nothing personal at stake to lose. He is an honorable man, or so he tells himself. He is not quick to anger, but once you do, let us just say his ability to hold a grudge is unprecedented. He is ruthless and resorts to violence like it is second nature. He is a quick thinker when put in a dangerous situation. He is quick thinker in general, actually, and a strategist as well. Under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which is rare, he becomes tired and usually is fast to fall asleep.

- worldview
Mizani's view of the world in nuanced. He understands crimes and amorality born out of poverty or abuse, and forgives them, but as soon as they get out of that situation, there is no room for wrongdoing. In this sense, he is a hypocrite. In fact, he is a hypocrite. If his worldview was applied to him, he and many people he engages with regularly would be considered a bad people, for lack of a better term.

- abilities
Mizani has no magic powers, but he is an excellent shot, preferring a pistol, skilled with a sword, and experienced in hand-to-hand combat.

- background
Unknown.

 

[crescendi]

making up stories that grew to be too tall / my fortress to forget couldn't take anymore / you nearly watched me ruin everything

[cancer, istp-a]

- appearance
Penemue is a fallen angel. Her wings are scarred and purple and resemble elliptical wings. She usually appears as a tall middle-aged woman, with burning purple eyes and dressed in pressed military clothes.

- personality
Penemue is effectively emotionless. She is a cold and calculating being, but a prideful one. She takes any insult, however slight, personally and it will not go unpunished unless the offender apologizes immediately. She detests demons, despite her fall from Heaven, and will kill one on sight. In Heaven, she would question, but ultimately obey, her superiors. Now she is no longer a member of the Host, and currently is a rogue on the physical realm. She is not sadistic and most deaths caused by her are quick and relatively painless.

- worldview
Penemue has a superiority complex as wide as her wingspan. She is arrogant and believes all creatures are inferior to her. She believes strength is victory and victory is strength. This is why she is no longer loyal to Lucifer. She believes in order and loyalty. To her, betrayal is abhorrent. Of course, Penemue also believes herself to be above the law.

- abilities
Penemue's powers have been severely hindered after her Fall, but is still strong compared to most human magic-users. She can change her physical form, teleport, travel between realms, have enhanced strength, and fly. She is also impervious to most damage, but susceptible to enchanted weapons.
She is an expert warrior, and prefers the sword.

- background
Penemue was a high-ranking member of the Host, and was attracted to the offers of power Lucifer advertised. She Fell, and instead of retreating to Hell, and swore revenge on Lucifer, blaming them for her Fall.

 

[crescendi]

[taurus, entp-a]

- appearance
Max Giritarangi stands at 5'9". She has naturally black hair, but it is usually dyed pink. She wears a pair of thin, rectangular frames. She is mixed black and Indian, and has a brown skin tone and dark eyes. She has a long, faded, scar that runs down her right calf. Her hands are rough and calloused. She has a tattoo on her left shoulder, the quote, "the town was paper, but the memories were not" in binary. She is 28 years old.

- personality
Max is eccentric, but also very skilled. She spends more time absorbed in her thoughts than actively participating in whatever's going on. Still, she is very intelligent. She has thick armor (metaphorically), and is not easily insulted, and does not insult people unless pushed. Or at least, not intentionally. She sometimes has trouble understanding other people's emotions. She is determined, and will work herself into the ground to meet her goals. She has a tendency to ramble, even if no one is listening. She is loyal to those she trusts, which is pretty much people who tolerate her for a few days. She likes to take things apart, like machines and (metaphorically) people, to see how they work. She isn't always right when it comes to the latter.

- worldview
Max is an optimist. She believes everything will work itself out in the end, even if it takes...sacrifices. Until someone proves themself otherwise, Max privately believes she is intellectually superior to them, but will not treat them as a lesser.

- abilities
Max is a decent shot when in comes to the gun. She also knows how to shoot a bow and arrow, due to a long, boring summer.
She is skilled programmer, hacker, and mathematician.

- background
Max was the younger sibling, and was not close to her parents. She was a math prodigy. She went to MIT and graduated with an ECS aged 21. This was also when she started feminization hormone therapy, She was bored with working at a lab, however, and worked for a company's black operations, where she put her computer skills to use.
