[CelticHero37]

Name: Cillian Casey
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: (Facial Reference: Tom Hardy) Killian Is a tall, fairly hardy man with a modest amount of Celtic tattoos oh his upper arms, collarbone, and upper back. His hair is long and swept back behind the ears. It generally takes on a light brown/sandy blonde color, but in some light it looks almost grey. He has a full beard kept neat through the use of beads and a waxed mustache. He has blue/grey eyes and often holds a soft or contemplative expression. He tends to wear a golden torc around his neck and more muted colors often accompanied by a black trench coat that gives his shoulders a rather imposing appearance.

Incarnator: Y
Metaphysical Entity: The Morrigan
Abilities: Shapeshifting, The Eye of Fate (premonitions that foretell someone's approaching death), Strong connection to magic (incantations, curses, spells).

History: Killian was a soft-spoken, yet somewhat mischievous kid. He loved to play pranks, but his pranks tended to have an overall positive effect on the victim's life in a strange way. He was highly studious and quick of mind, but free of spirit. As such his grades tended to be good, but he came off as a bad student, spending time to learn what he wanted rather than paying attention to teachers or following instructions. He wasn't egotistical, but situations always had a way of gravitating towards him. He was one of those kids that made a lot of people feel conflicted. Some part of you always wanted to hate him, but at the same time another part of you respected him. In other words, he was mysterious. As he got into his late teens, he joined a local Glam metal band as the lead guitarist and that became one of his favorite past-times.

Although the world began to change when he was only five, Killian's own status remained fairly dormant and went unnoticed until this time in his life when it manifested in a very obvious manner when he woke up one morning in The Morrigan's traditional female form, which led to a chaotic morning as the first thing that drew his attention wasn't the body, but his nails which he tried to bite shorter. However, this was abruptly put to an end by a pain in his back as he collapsed to the ground on top of a wooden cane. He felt like an old hag witch. This feeling was quickly replaced when his mother knocked on the door to his room after hearing the commotion and he suddenly found himself jumping... or rather flying out of his open window. As he spiraled in the air, he started hearing a voice in his head that he ended up arguing with until suddenly he fell to the ground, finding himself back in his body. The only difference is that his eyes were now slightly glowing.

As he moved into the professional world, he kept his abilities discrete and went unnoticed. He found himself going into the military for a short time before transitioning fairly quickly to contract military work and protective services where he had much more control over the things he fought for. Cillian was slow to join the Akashic Record, uninterested in getting involved with another regulated organization. However, when it became clear to him that society was falling into chaos, he joined out of principle. Thus revealing his status for the first time.

Personality: Killian is a very mild lawful good character with a spark of chaos hidden in him. He's reserved, but capable. He often comes across as a lone wolf, but in reality actually works just fine in a group. He's known for his cunning and restraint. He's a bit of a prankster and trickster, but is probably the most trustworthy person in moments when it matters. However, due in part to the constant premonitions of death, Killian has a monster inside him. Normally he revels playfully in conflict, but when it comes to metering justice, there comes a point when his joy snaps away and his blood begins to boil. It is at this point that he is blinded by rage and begins to act on the tragic premonitions in his mind. His restraint is gone and he become torturous. It is at this point that no one is safe. His allies must take caution and pull him out of the rage when necessary in order to prevent devastation and restore his mind to restraint.
Goals/Motivations: Killian yearns for justice and an increasingly better society for all. He also has a passion for education and storytelling.

Skills & Talents: Killian is a highly intelligent tactician, sniper, musician, and philosopher.
Equipment & Tools: His guitar, military equipment.

[Nellancholy]

Name: Suzume Kurohane
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

---

Incarnator: Y
Metaphysical Entity: Wang Zhaojun, She Who Fells Birds, the second of the Four Great Beauties



Abilities:
The incarnation of a historical figure who was poetically associated with birds, Zhaojun's form and ability are inevitably intertwined with avian imagery. While she is in full control of Suzume's body, Zhaojun manifests talons and wings that grant her self-powered flight. Furthermore, her supposed beauty allows her to supernaturally summon birds as if from nothing, though they are invariably whipped into a frenzy because of their apparent adoration of her. Hence the resulting swarms of birds are extremely energetic and relentless, but cannot be directed even by her, except in a general direction. If a task would be helped by a horde of excited birds, that would be a good time for her ability. While Zhaojun is in control, individual birds may also manifest nearby without active use of her ability, but birds that appear in this way have no notable behavioral differences from usual.

Additionally, Zhaojun is also a skilled musician, equestrian, and marksman (apparently due to compulsively shooting down annoying birds).

History:
Suzume had an ordinary, peaceful life, one generally removed from the worst supernatural or mundane troubles. She had never known a life without the presence of the Incarnators on this Earth, but she didn't really see or know much about them either. From where she lived, such incidents were like volcanic eruptions, earth-splitting earthquakes, or tropical storms. Things that were terrible, but were other people's problems to deal with. That was until birds started watching and following her everywhere she went. She woke up with feathers budding from her scalp and arms, and a voice in her head condescendingly commenting on her appearance.

She was able to keep these symptoms hidden, until another Incarnator struck. When a lightning strike conjured by the villainous Incarnator hit a building in town, the voice took over. Her arms twisted into wings, and she swooped into the air, saving falling civilians and battling the Incarnator.

At the conclusion of the incident, the voice did not leave, instead preening and luxuriating in the attention of the cameras on the scene. It took a lot of effort for Suzume to force herself back into control and run away.

She couldn't stay hidden for much longer, and the voice continued to take over more and more often, whenever she could make a show of herself and get eyes on her and her birds for whatever reason.

Finally, Suzume turned to the Akashic Record, joining them on their missions in search of any information or power that might help her fully regain control of her body and her life.

Goals/Motivations:
Suzume: "I don't hate her, I really don't! And I don't want her to die either...but this is my body. I have to find a way to free her from me."
Zhaojun: "A chick who hasn't even left the nest shouldn't presume to dictate terms to me. If this is truly my second life, then why can't I use my vaunted beauty for all it's worth?"

Skills & Talents: Not many notable, though she is a practiced seamstress and singer, and was in a fairly casual dance group with a couple of classmates.

Relationships: Suzume's mother does not know the details of her transformation, and worries for her at her work with the Akashic Record. Her classmates haven't been in contact, and don't seem to have been informed where she has gone.

 

[Unearthly]

Name: Alexander "Alex" Gibson

Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance: [Face Claim: James Dean]
With his tall and lithe muscular figure, perfectly coiffed blond hair, and stunning green eyes, Alex gives off a pretty charming first impression - or so he likes to think. He looks much older than his age, which he brushes off whenever he's asked about it. In terms of his attire, he usually sticks to leather jackets, t-shirts, and skinny jeans, which he thinks make him look cool. He has a large tattoo on his back depicting two hounds, stylized in a Celtic knot.

Incarnator: Y
Metaphysical Entity: Fionn mac Cumhaill (Pronounced like 'Finn McCool'. A legendary hero of Irish folklore.)
Abilities: Besides his physical transformation (see History), Alex mainly got two powers upon becoming an Incarnator. The most evident and commonly used is his supernaturally-enhanced strength, stemming from the might of a famed warrior like Fionn. The secondis named the Thumb Of Wisdom, after the same blessing that Fionn himself gained in his youth. It's a highly useful ability, but Alex rarely uses it. It reveals to him whatever knowledge he could desire to learn, but it requires him to put his thumb in his mouth and chant a spell in Gaelic. Alex thinks it makes him looks dumb.

History: For a long time, Alex was fine with having a normal life. He had a reasonably happy childhood, growing up in an average household out in some backwater town far removed from the mythical antics of the rest of the world. Incarnators had been a fact of life since before he'd been born, and even though he'd daydreamed about becoming one in his childhood, he eventually accepted that it wasn't going to happen. He wasn't particularly strong or brave, and he hardly looked like he was cut out to be a hero. He was short and skinny, with thick glasses and muddy dark hair that poked up in all the wrong places. Still, he had decent grades and just enough nerdy interests to gain him some friends in the same niches, so he was happy.

That changed on his eighteenth birthday, when he woke up to find himself tall, blonde, and ripped. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he had somehow become an Incarnator. Obviously he couldn't stay content with a normal life after that. Nobody becomes a hero just to settle for mundanity. He had no idea why he was chosen, but he couldn't exactly waste the opportunity. In fact, he quickly became determined to earn his status. He left home basically without warning and headed off to the big city to create a new life for himself. Pretty soon, he soon came upon the Akashic Record. Looking out for the entire world sounded like a perfect opportunity for him to prove himself, so he joined. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Personality: Alex gives off the general impression of just being a cool and well-adjusted guy, who always seems to just go with the flow and never gets bothered by anything. Of course, that's all just an act. In reality, he struggles with an inferiority complex from his sudden launch into becoming an Incarnator, and always feels like he has to get stronger and display his power in order to prove his own worth. Even still, he does care about others, and truly does want to protect people who can't protect themselves. He knows what it's like to feel powerless, after all.

Goals/Motivations: His primary motivation is just to continuously become better than what he is. It might be selfish, but it's a goal to strive for nonetheless.

Skills & Talents: Despite his outward image mostly just being an act, Alex does genuinely have quite a lot of charisma. Indeed, it's caring so much about his own image that is precisely the reason why he's so good at talking to people. He can also be pretty smart, he was a nerd once upon a time after all, but he avoids showing it out of fear that it would make him look less cool.

Equipment & Tools: N/A. He thinks that bringing in outside equipment would make him seem weaker.

Relationships: He still stays in touch with his parents, who continue to worry over him. As for everyone else he knew before leaving, he basically cut ties with them. The last thing he wants is some dorky old friend showing up and ruining the image he has created.

[AI10100]

Name: Laura Kingsley
Age: 20
Gender: Female

Incarnator: N
Metaphysical Entity: N/A
Abilities: N/A

History: Laura grew up in a time when Incarnators already existed, and as such, was greatly influenced by their stories. While uncommon, she would often look upon them in great awe— whether they were destructive or helpful. However, Laura was not one of the chosen few to ever become connected to such metaphysical beings. That was fine— Laura turned her attention to somewhere else. She turned to learning how to fight on her own; no powers? No problem.

However, this also meant that Laura was prone to falling into the wrong crowd— and into the wrong crowd did she fall in. She would run with underground fighting rings and gangs as a teenager. A mixture of a lack of general guidance from her parents and a yearning to make a difference had led Laura to fight like some sort of makeshift vigilante which often did not land in her favor.

It was only through a recent stroke of luck that her desperation had fruited something. While running from a group of gangsters, Laura happened upon a broken pipe. When she brandished it against her opponents, it was to her surprise that the pipe was not ordinary— rather, it had been imbued with the power of Excalibur. Using this weapon, she was able to fend off the gangsters.

With this newfound weapon, Laura became more successful in her fights until she finally felt good enough to join the Akashic Record.

Personality: Laura is headstrong with a righteous heart— but unfortunately is prone to falling into irresponsible actions due to a lack of guidance. She wants to do good for the world, and the only way she knows how to do it is to fight and she is more than willing to fight. Her methods are questionable at best and hypocritical at worst but at the core of everything, Laura genuinely wishes to help.

Though her words are crass, Laura is an extremely jovial person. She finds joy in most of everything— she's just thankful for being alive and thankful that she might be able to make a difference in the world. She might even be considered rude by many but Laura rarely allows what people say to affect her. Though she might seem like the person who acts first and thinks later, Laura tends to think over the facts before coming to the decision on which side she should fight on. When more facts are presented on the table, Laura is quick to think it over to come to a more appropriate response as well.

Goals/Motivations: In the Akashic Record, she just wants to dispense justice where it is due and to help people in need.

Skills & Talents: Laura has been on the streets for most of her life and she has learned how to fight— dirty or otherwise— and has even learned in more professional settings for different types of martial arts. She's also skilled in parkour. Laura has been mostly independent in her life which made her quite skilled in various types of housework.

Equipment & Tools:
Excalibur - The sword of Arthurian legend. Well, it isn't quite a sword anymore as the legend itself had transcribed itself into a broken piece of pipe that Laura had picked up. Though it appears as a broken pipe in its unawakened form, it still has the basic abilities of Excalibur. It cannot be broken by any sort of force as a magical veil holds the weapon together. By the will of the user, Excalibur can be commanded to glow brightly to blind one's opponents to give them an advantage in a fight. The pipe is also engraved with what appears to be chimeras across its body and, when activated, spews fire and covers the pipe in it.

In its activated form, Excalibur appears in its true state— the longsword of legends. In this state, it is said that Excalibur can cut through any kind of material so long as it is not magical or mythical. It retains all of its abilities.

Its final ability rests within the scabbard of Excalibur. In its unactivated state, the scabbard appears to be melded into the pipe. However, in its activated state, it can be worn around the waistbelt as is typical. So long as the scabbard is being worn or is wielded by the user, it prevents the user from bleeding— preventing them from bleeding to death in battle.

Relationships: Laura has not kept in contact with her parents anymore ever since she fell into gang fights. However, she does keep in contact with her old group of friends who fought with her against multiple gangs in their childhood.

[galvanismgal]

Name: Dorothy Borea
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Thanks to fusing with her dream self Dorothy appears to be in her mid to late twenties rather than her proper age.

Incarnator: Y
Metaphysical Entity: Morpheus
Abilities:
The ability to connect the dreamlands to the real world. With the metaphysical world combining with our own the distinction between the two got a little blurry so Dorothy is able to overlap her personal vison of the dreamlands into the reality around herself. Normally this overlap allows Dorothy to buff or debuff her target by weaving together them with what she views as their dream selves. Normal people, incarnation, monsters, and even objects can all be targets of her ability.

While less targetable Dorothy can overlap the area around herself to grant the space within it a dream like quality such as time seeming to slow or the sensation of being in the air but such reality warping is taxing and leaves her vulnerable.

History:

Dorothy drifted through a very normal life. Wanting and desiring little other than passing the time by daydreaming she was metaphorically awakened when incarnators started appearing. Suddenly the waking world seemed so exciting as if her idle dreams came to life.

Though exciting it did little to change the trajectory of her floating through life. While Dorothy got a job analyzing different incarnator damages to help direct aid to those affected by them little in her personal life changed. The chaos and whiplash couldn’t penetrate the bubble of daydreams she surrounded herself with. Like hearing something happened to so and so in the town over a comfortable distance that left little worry of getting personally involved. Until as if she was tempting the fates themselves, Dorothy became an incarnator.

Dorothy’s dreams at night took a step further than the ludic dreaming she was use to. In them was not only a land to explore but a nagging feeling to reach further than the furthest she could reach and connect to something. It was easy enough to hid the changes from those around her since it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for her to drift away. First, she changed jobs to let her space out even more at work. Her new position was at a consulting firm for those swept up in the new chaotic world. While she explained for the uncounted time that no that bow you found was not the mythical object you thought it was since it was made up by a video game last year, she found her thoughts drifting, no reaching, for the world still within her dreams. Eventually the draw was so strong Dorothy left her job to put her creative writing degree to use to produce a visual novel. It was successful enough in the convention circut to pay the bills and gave her plenty of time to drift off to sleep until finally her spinning thoughts wove together. Reaching our both of their hands her dream-self and real-self overlapped into a bridge that would connect the two spaces.

It was at this point Dorothy joined the Akashi record. She couldn’t let the chance pass her by like any good author not to gain inspiration but to procrastinate writing.


Personality:

Dorothy is the type to let her cuteness lag behind. She often has her heads in the clouds being more interested in her daydreams than the reality around her. To keep her life simple Dorothy knows that hard work is needed so she will efficiently do what needs to be done to ensure that it remains so. Laid back and not the type to sweat the small stuff Dorothy is the type to keep to herself unless something interests her. When something does interest her, she hyper focuses on it like a nosey old woman until she can gather enough information to switch to self-indulgent daydreaming about it.

Dorothy has reached a mental resilience and inner calm that is only possible though working in customer service and knows that kindness is a choice she chooses to make every day. The type to become the mom friend if not a lazy one and quick to give up being the voice of reason. If the day ever comes where she unleashes the violence Dorothy feels in her heart one will find her briming with power.


Goals/Motivations:

Her motivation is to gain more material for her daydreams so when the going gets tough she has some fun things to think about.

Her goals is to maintain the current state of the world since she enjoys not having to fight for survival every second of her life and wants everything to more or less start to stabilize.


Skills & Talents(Outside of metaphysical powers):

Not one to brag about it but she can clear a touhou game on the hardest difficulty in a single life.

Dorothy is talented when it comes to multitasking and adapting to strange situations due to her practice in the dreamlands.


Equipment & Tools: None unless you count the black liquorice hard candy she keeps in her pocket

Relationships: Not one to form close bonds everyone knows not to expect much from her, including her own parents. The only person Dorothy would consider herself close to is Sir whats his name who owns the bookshop she likes to “brainstorm” aka nap in sometimes. Once the world settles down, she sometimes daydreams about becomes Mrs...well he can just take her last name.
