  Name: Lilia Calina Sokolov
  Age: Twenty-two
  Gender: Cis-female (she/her)
  
  Appearance: At five feet eight inches, Lilia is fairly tall for a girl- oftentimes towering over her shorter classmates. Despite this, she has an undying love for everything small and cute, and tends to dress to match this with many frilly, girly dresses and skirts.
  
  Her long, strawberry-blonde hair often flows freely down her back, though she also enjoys styling it with a braid, ponytail, headband, or other. She wears thin-rimmed glasses only for reading, and rarely has on any jewelry outside of a broach and a simple pendant on a chain around her neck.

  A thing of beauty is a source of eternal, continuous joy.

  Backstory: Lilia's family emigrated from Russia when she was three years old. Her parents were both academics, and they fostered a love of learning in their daughter from a young age- particularly in language and literature.
  
  Lilia was popular enough and did well in school and, after graduating high school with honors, naturally transitioned into college, where she is dual-majoring in language and linguistics with a minor in literature. She works part-time at a book shop to help with expenses.
  
  Skills: Languages, classifications and codes, sewing, embroidery and needlepoint, piano and violin
  
  Personality: Lilia is a calm, quiet, collected person, usually soft-spoken and self-effacing. Very kind, she enjoys listening to others more than talking about herself, though as an introvert she also needs time to be alone and away from people in order to recharge.
  
  Likes: Plushies, flowers, small animals
  Dislikes: Loud dogs, people who are rude
  
  Habits: Plays with her ribbons, her hair, or her skirts when nervous
  Quirks: Often has inkstains on her hands from calligraphy practice
  
  Hopes/Dreams: To one day write a novel
  Fears/Doubts: That she isn't a good enough writer to do so
  
  Plans: To slowly get her out of her shell, becoming more outgoing and assertive as a result of her experience as a Magical Girl, as she learns to stand up not only for others but herself as well

  
  
  

  Mundane
• The Ivory Bane
  Chosen of the Goddess Freyja​

  
  Freyja is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and seiðr, though Bane's Mythkeeper seems not to have heard of the first four traits, being exclusively focused on the last three. It appears to her in the form of a falcon named Ari, always whispering wise advice into her ear and seeming very serious and dedicated to eradicating monsters and protecting the defenseless and weak.
  
  Weapon: Goldfang, Sword of Freyr. This is a shining, magical blade that Ivory Bane can summon at will- indestructible and infinitely sharp. It can block most basic magical attacks.
  
  Apotheosis: 8%

  Strengthen without, strength from within- never falter, never fail.

  Abilities​

  
  Golden Aegis: This is an indestructible golden shield that Ivory Bane can conjure at will. When she is tired or weak, the shield itself will weaken and become more difficult to summon. Once she levels up, this ability will translate to her entire body becoming coated in gold.
  
  Úfríðr Reiða: Translating to 'Knowledge of War', this is Ivory Bane's primary skill. It gives her innate knowledge of combat strategy and tactics, making her all but impossible to defeat in a fair fight. Of course magic spells, brute strength, or simply being outnumbered can turn the tide on this ability.
  
  Seiðr Sight: This is Ivory Bane's gift of foresight. It can grant her a couple seconds' foreshadowing of events in battle, though this can be confusing in the heat of the moment. It can also occasionally grant her visions, though these are usually obscure and difficult to decipher- more complex metaphor than direct message.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

RIKU KUROKO

Age:
35

Gender:
Female

Pronouns:
She/Her

Sexuality:
Bi

Personality:
Riku is somewhat of a very assertive woman who will never give up on anything she wants to claim for herself. On top of that, she's a sadist and is not afraid to inflict lots of pain on her subject (In a fight or in other activities). She has a way with words that make other people think she's a likeable person, but she really doesn't give a damn about anyone except herself. She'll put herself before others, and she also has a habit of making the first move on a person she likes.

Skills:
Lying, Patience, Romantic, Sadisim, Quick calculations, Spying, Gymnastics.

Brief Backstory:
Began life as a nobody, and worked hard for her position in a business company (The business owner). She once had almost been sexually assaulted, but she pulled a switcheroo, and.... well yeah. Anyways, she really didn't have much of a life, besides fending for herself and doing everything she can to get what she wants. Perhaps someday, she'll change her ways and be a more likable person.

Plan for character development:
Has something happen to her, which makes her rethink her life choices. She shall apologize to anyone who she had wronged in the group, and even do what she can to be a better magical Warrior, which includes working together and helping each other in hard times.

Mythic Warrior Appearance:

(She shrunk down into a 10 year old body)

Patron:
Kamuy Kanna

A dragon deity from Ainu legend thats the God of Storms and Thunder, while also been said to be somewhat of an evil entity.
Contrary to that belief, Kamuy is more of a prankster who does what he can to make others laugh. He granted Riku his power, out of belief she could become a better person (And as a prank, he told her that unless she helps 100 people without asking for anything in exchange, she'd be cursed with that form till she does so. Aka, he lied to make her a better person.)
He'll sometimes show up as a small version of himself, functioning much like a companion in a Magical Girl anime would. Also, he'll apologize if Riku does anything he doesn't approve of "Litterally anything with impure intentions.".

Magic Abilities:
Lightning Discharge - Riku can eminate a electrical field around her to zap opponents that Tries to fight her in close melee.

Thunder Punch - Similar to Lightning Discharge, but instead is used offensively, and as a single melee strike with her fist.

Thunder Beam - Fires a energy beam of electricity at a distant opponent. When it hits, the target is zapped.

These three abilities do not work on rubber, or any targets that escape into the ground.

Flight - Riku can fly with good maneuverability, at the same flight speed as the other magical girls. She needs no wings to do this.

Immunity to Electricity - Riku is unable to be injured by any electrical attacks, because she has the power of electricity.

Weakness to Anti-Dragon Weapons and abilities.

Extra:
Do not worry, nothing strange is gonna be done with her magical girl form, besides maybe stealing a kiss from another magical Warrior. Any other action that involves romance is gonna use her civilian form instead.​

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Appearance:

Name: Toshio Kamakura
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality:
Toshio is honestky just sorta...there. Years of abuse and neglect have left him with the idea that it's best for him to stay out of the spotlight. There's less of a chance he'll get screamed at, that way. He puts one mask of quiet stoicism, to hide just how nervous he is around people.

However, he shouldn't be confused as a coward. He is extremely anxious yes, but he does genuinely do his best to be a defeat person, even if it wracks his nerves. He has an impressive level of self awareness and empathy, and it's obvious the stoicism is just a front most of the time.

But underneath all this, there's something...more. Dark. A rage that burns like a thousand suns, built by years of abuse. Just waiting to explode.

Skills:
-Fully trained welder and metalurigist

-Has a near encyclopedic knowledge of the history of metallurgy


Brief Backstory:
Much like his Patron, Toshio was doomed to suffer at the hands of family.

His mother would die giving birth to him, mirroring Izanami's own death. And further mirroring myth, Toshio would suffer greatly at his father's hand. The physical and emotional abuse he suffered would forever scar him, forever mar his perception of others.

Despite this, he would eventually break free of his father's yoke. Toshio always had an interest in creating things, building, crafting. And it eas after watching a traditional blacksmith at work that he knew he would work with metal.

Welding isn't exactly a job that's seen as glamorous, but Toshio found his true passion. Working with metal came as naturally as breathing to him. He could tell you everything you'd need to know about a sheet just by glancing at it.

But with this came lonlieness. He's never had many friends, never had any sort of romantic relationship that's lasted longer than a month. Though he enjoyed his job, it was just a temporary fix for the hole inside him.

Plan for character development:
Toshio both learning to stand up for himself, and to be able to trust other people more readily.

Mythic Warrior Appearance:

Patron: (What figure from mythology does your Patron take the form of? Please provide a short description of your Patron personality as well)

Kagatsuchi is the Shinto God of Fire and Forging. His origins are tightly interwoven with both the history of the creation of Japan, as well as death itself.

It's said that the firstborn of Izanagi and Izanami was so hot, that he burned his mother to death during childbirth. Enraged, Izanagi ripped his son into eight pieces, and threw them onto the Earth. These eight pieces would form the eight volcanoes that mare up the islands of Japan.

Kagatsuchi is a God of two sides. On one side, he is calm, quiet, meek, even.

But if set off, Kagatsuchi will fly into a blind, burning fury that consumes all around him. Much like fire itself, he is both a force of creation and destruction.

Magic Abilities (include strengths and limitations specific to their magic here):
Kagatsuchi allows Toshio the ability to fully manipulate metal, eith a few limitations.

The first is that any metal being manipulated by him is super heated. On the one hand, it makes the metal both easier to bend, and more deadly. But on the other hand, it makes directly handling the metal much, MUCH more dangerous. Just because he can control it, doesn't mean Toshio is immune to fire. It burns him just as much.

The second limitation is that it must be metals commonly used in metalworking. Iron, steel, and nickel are the most common, but rarer metals such as titanium and tungsten won't work. He can technically also control copper, but it melts so fast it's often too dangerous to even attempt.

[Nellancholy]

Name: Abilene "Amyloid" Greene

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality:
Serious and quiet but easily embarrassed if caught off guard, Abi is still generally assertive and takes the initiative whenever someone is in need.

Skills:

• Experienced skateboarder
• Proficient guitarist
• Studied electrical engineering at vocational school,apparently
• Learning to cook due to Uke Mochi's influence

Brief Backstory:
No one knows where Abilene Greene came from, but she lives alone in a small, run-down flat in a grimy part of town. Together with the other members of "Detox Princess", a "neo-communal nano-splittercore music project", she plays loud music at small clubs or just out on the street, as well as getting involved in helping the local community, mostly through "resolving" fights or solving minor crimes and other incidents. She even makes a pittance of money through an informal appliance repair service. When Uke Mochi approached her to help in the battle against the Mythic Warriors' foes, Abilene couldn't help but agree. She could never say no to someone in need of help.

Plan for character development:
Abilene may come out of her shell and learn to help herself a bit more, as she faces the new responsibilities as a Mythic Warrior.

Mythic Warrior Appearance:


Patron:
Uke Mochi, The Goddess Who Protects Food. In her few appearances, Uke Mochi showed a gentle and encouraging personality to Abilene, encouraging her to be more proactive and do things that she enjoys more.

Magic Abilities:

Culinary weaponry: Abilene can conjure replicas of various cooking equipment and cutlery with brief telekinetic control over them, usually meant to be used as weaponry. For example, she could cause a knife to curve or even bounce when it is thrown, but cannot later control it once it has landed. Objects conjured like this persist for up to five minutes, before dissolving. They can also be scaled up somewhat when created, for example allowing a steak knife to serve as a sword, or a spoon to turn into a large shovel.

Edible transmutation: Abilene can slowly transmute non-living matter into homogenous foods of various compositions on touch,including but not limited to chocolate,tofu,cotton candy,or chicle. The rate of transmutation is steady, enough that an ambushed opponent can have their typical weapons or armor transmuted to render them useless,but an alert opponent or fast-moving object cannot be affected more than a tiny patch. Matter so transmuted remains transmuted permanently.

Sacrificial healing: Abilene can remove small portions of herself and transmute them into a cookie or cotton-candy like mass that can be eaten by an injured person to heal an injury of proportionate mass. This means that cuts and bruises can be healed with a fairly low cost other than the weakening or lessened density of a body part,but to heal something like dismemberment or severe burns would be...costly. The lost mass is gradually regenerated when not transformed.

 

[CuChulainn]

Appearance:


Name: Tomás Collins
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Personality:
Tomás is a quiet and reserved man. Half a decade of working homicide and cold cases has left him withdrawn and lonely. He depends heavily on the visits of his patron to fill his soul and mind with joy and happiness, and fight back the dark clouds. Although recently he has tried to branch out more and be less secluded

He enjoys solo activities like reading, and studying history specifically. As well as quietly listening to music in his small apartment. He sees his patron almost constantly as she keeps a watchful protective eye on him.

Skills:
Tomás has some skills with a firearm for his day job, but he’s growing in skill using his mythical sword the Claiomh Solais.

He’s also an avid reader and understands a lot of history, although not particularly useful for his job.

Brief Backstory: (CW: depression, attempted suicide)
Tomás grew up and lived a normal, healthy childhood. He went to school, did reasonably well, and realised he wanted to join the police force and catch criminals. He was never sure about where this sudden passion came from, it felt like he was being pushed, and it became a vocation.

Once leaving school he followed his dream and joined the police academy. He finally found something he excelled at, and the once average student became top of his class and graduated with distinction. He was put on the fast track to become a detective in the force and after four years he made the cut.

But the story for Tomás grew dark. Increasingly he was assigned the darkest, and brutal murders the force had on file. Cold cases, recent killings, it didn’t matter. They always landed on his desk. Over time the anguish of constant death overwhelmed him. He fell into a deep depression and began drinking heavily. One day he decided to take a walk on the beach, when a huge pang of depression hit him. He began to walk out into the ocean, he lost all autonomy and submitted to the sea.

The next time he opened his eyes he was laying on his back, soaked to the bones, and freezing cold. He coughed and sputtered wondering how he had been dragged out of the ocean. Then he saw her. Above him a beautiful pale skinned woman, with green eyes and bright, fiery red hair. She was in a dark, plain green linen dress and wore a crown of seaweed.

She smiled and said her name was Clíodhna, and she had saved him from the sea. She touched his arm and he felt renewed, the darkness in his mind washed away. Tomás asked how he could repay her, and she said that from now on he would serve her. He would be her avatar of justice. She granted him the ability to talk to the recently deceased through the guise of a Banshee, so that he could help bring justice to victims of crime. Although the act of talking to the Banshee would fill his mind with pain, anguish, and sorrow, Clíodhna would appear to him, touch his arm and he would be healed of the mental pain once more.

Plan for character development:

Tomás has given his life’s servitude to Clíodhna for rescuing him. In return, he will spend his life trying to find justice for those who deserve it, and help to protect those who need it. He is trying slowly to break out of his shell and find friendship or more, to avoid spending his days in increasing solitude.


Mythic Warrior Appearance:



Patron: Clíodhna: Queen of the Banshee. [Klee-uh-nah]
She is one of the Tuatha De Danann [Two-ah Day Dan-an], great Irish deities that settled Ireland in prehistory. She is the queen of the Bean Sidhe [Ban-shee], supernatural, ghostly, spirits that warn of an impending death by crying and wailing.




Magic:

Cry of the Bean Sidhe:
Tomás can see, and interact with a recently deceased person for a short time and ask about their lives. He cannot commune with anyone who has been dead for more than 24 hours. However during his conversations, the cry of the Banshee will fill his mind, filling him with despair and sorrow. His patron Clíodhna will appear to comfort him and watch over him but he can often be bed bound or severely limited in energy afterwards.

Claiomh Solais: [Clay-uv sul-us]
The magical sword of the Tuatha de Danann, Tomás can summon the sword to his aid. It is said that the sword will bring courage to faltering allies, and strike fear into the enemies once it has been unsheathed.

Warmth of Clíodhna:
When things are at their darkest, and hope is faltering the warmth of Clíodhna can protect, and wash away the despair in the mind of Tomás. Through his touch it can also help those other than himself who are in need

[Wilder28]

Name
Alejandro García Navarro

Age
24 years old

Gender
Cis Male

Appearance


Standing at around 5'11, Alejandro is a fairly tall young man of clear Latin descent, with short, wavy dark hair, light hazel eyes, and a slight five o'clock shadow that he regularly works to maintain. His complexion is a little on the darker side of olive, and his build is best described as lean, but solidly athletic. He generally dresses well enough - not overly formal, but at the very least presentable - but while one might often see him clad in something like a collared shirt and slacks, it also tends to depend on where he is and what he's doing.

As a general rule, though? He tries to keep himself looking good. It's what's expected of him.

Backstory
Though American by birth, Alejandro was born to two Mexican immigrants in the outskirts of Houston, Texas, where he was raised as an only child for most of his life. Things weren't easy for him growing up; on top of living in a very low-income household where he and his parents struggled to make ends meet, he also had to contend with no small amount of violence, both in school and on the streets. There were good parts too, of course - he did have at least a handful of close friends he could rely on, and he did manage to find some personal enjoyment even in the worse parts of the city - but on the whole, his childhood was pretty rough.

He was hoping to turn it all around by getting a university education - after all, he did manage to perform well in school, despite everything, and the University of Houston was practically right there. Maybe then he could acquire the knowledge and the skills he needed to lift not only himself out of relative poverty, but his family as well.

But things didn't turn out that way.

See, smart as Ale was, he was also a bit short-tempered - and while he could normally restrain himself to the point of not doing anything stupid, nothing ticked him off more than seeing someone getting picked on who didn't deserve it. Thus, while he usually tried to stay out of trouble on his own, he got into more than his fair share of fights when it came to defending another person, even if it wasn't someone he actually knew well. This had the benefit of netting him the support and even friendship of quite a few others in his neighborhood, a fact that came in clutch more times than he could count.

It was a particularly violent encounter, the summer after his high school graduation, that set the foundation for what would easily be the greatest change of his life. Having come into conflict with a local gang over the defense of one of his friends, he found himself in the toughest fight of his life, and barely made it out in one piece. After that, he was worried, for being on a gang's blacklist was no laughing matter; even if he'd survived, his life was still very much in danger.

Then, he came along. As Ale was on his way back home one evening a few days later, he encountered a strange figure standing alone at an intersection - right in his way. And in spite of his attempts to avoid them, he quickly found himself in a one-on-one altercation, in which he fought as if his life depended on it. Because for all he knew, it probably did.

He lost. Badly. But it was only after that the figure revealed himself to be not a man, but a god. Tezcatlipoca, he called himself. A name he'd heard maybe one or twice at the time, but by no means was familiar with.

He made the young man an offer. Ale could gain the protection he needed, and on top of that, extend it to others as well. He could defend those who were in need of it, take out those who'd prey on the weak, and do all that he'd wanted for his friends and his family and then some. University was great, but it could only grant him knowledge - and even then, only at a cost. Tezcatlipoca, on the other hand, could grand him knowledge and power, and so much more.

All he needed in return was his servitude.

Ale was suspicious at first, naturally. But pressured by his circumstances and enticed by the prospect of being able support his community, he ultimately had no choice but to accept.

That was six years ago. Now, Ale lives on his own, prowling the night and the shadows as a defender of the weak and a warrior of the Unseen.

Though if he's being honest, it really isn't all it was cracked up to be.

Skills
- Multilinguism: In addition to English and Spanish, which he naturally acquired growing up, Alejandro has also studied a fair bit of Classical Nahuatl, as well as a couple of its modern descendants such as Huasteca Nahuatl.
- Combat: While he mainly relies on the strength and power of his divine form against stronger foes, Ale is no slouch in human form either, having been forced to learn how to defend himself from a young age. Sure doesn't hurt that he participated in more formal training as well in recent years, just so he wouldn't always have to rely on his patron to keep him safe.
-People Skills: While never particularly a social butterfly, Alejandro did always have something of a knack for at least getting along with people, and nowadays, he seems more than capable of holding his own in a social situation. His patron might have something to do with that.
- Soccer: Or football, as he'd much rather call it, and he will absolutely die on that hill. There's nothing special about this one, he's just fond of it. He's tried his hand at other sports, up to and including the classic pelota maya, but this one's his eternal favorite.

Personality
The first thing that one might notice about Alejandro is that he's something of a low-key kind of guy. He's quiet, soft-spoken, and doesn't often make much of an effort to interact with people unless he has a specific reason to. Introverted to the nth degree, he generally tries not to draw much attention to himself, perhaps unconsciously; this can potentially lead to him coming off as somewhat mysterious, especially since he isn't much better in polite conversation.

Indeed, while one may find that he's rather articulate and forthcoming in conversation, he's not very open. One may still perceive a general sense of coldness when talking to him for the first time; it isn't until one gets to know him well - a difficult feat, especially these days - that they come to find how warm he can actually be.

Of course, on the flip side of this warmth is his rage. While he was never the type to yell and scream, his anger has been known to manifest in less obvious ways. Rather than being openly hot-blooded, he exhibits more of a tranquil fury in all but the most extreme of cases; and to those who don't know how to pick up on it, it can seem like it's coming right out of nowhere when he finally snaps.

Likes
-Night time, just the general vibe of it
-Soccer (either watching or playing it)
-Rainy days
-Music, especially of the more relaxing variety
-The occasional nature walk

Dislikes
-Fighting; he only ever does it because he has to. If he can talk someone down first, he'll try
-Monsters, bullies, gangs, and really anything in between
-Tezcatlipoca. Yes, he owes him. But the guy can still be a real ass at times.
-Social interaction, for the same reason as fighting (albeit to a lesser extent)
-High-energy environments

Habits
-While most of his vocabulary is obviously English or Spanish, he's known to throw in the occasional Nahuatl swear word as well. He seems to do this without realizing it.
-He also tends to run a hand through his hair whenever he's thinking.
-He likes to hum on occasion to, albeit quietly.

Quirks
It seems reasonable that Ale likes to mutter a prayer to his patron before entering combat situations. Sometimes, however, he'll do it before less serious situations as well, such as when he's about to engage with people when he'd really rather not. Tezcatlipoca finds this hilarious.

Hopes/Dreams:
To elevate his friends, family, and community to a better quality of life, and leave his city a better place than when he came into it.

Fears/Doubts:
That he may lose himself, or his relationships, in the process.

Plans:
To slowly get him more accustomed to working with others, since half a decade as a lone warrior with a strained social life has naturally left him a bit reclusive. Also, to get him to assert more autonomy in his relationship with his patron.

Yáotl
Warrior of Tezcatlipoca
As one of the foremost deities of the Aztec pantheon, and a notable presence in many others, Tezcatlipoca - whose name translates to 'Smoking Mirror' - is not a god to be trifled with. In the days of old, he watched over warriors and walked among kings, and while that era has long since passed us by, he still holds a considerable amount of influence over the world. He is The Enemy of Both Sides, The One Who Pretends, The Lord of the Near and Nigh, and the embodiment of change itself as wrought by conflict.

While often thought of as something of a war god or a creator deity, he's so much more than that; rivaling the likes of Apollo in terms of sheer breadth of influence, he holds dominion over the night sky, night winds, hurricanes, the north, the earth, obsidian, hostility, discord, rulership, divination, temptation, jaguars, sorcery, beauty, and conflict of all sorts. It wasn't without reason that he was so important to the people of Mesoamerica.

However, given that no mortal is powerful enough to bear all of this on their own, he's taken to splitting his domains between his agents. Thus, he has made Alejandro his Yaotl (Yah-OH-tul) - a word that translates to 'enemy', but also, more relevantly, to 'warrior'. Other agents of his might be able to conduct dark rituals, see into the future, or call forth minor hurricanes, but Ale in particular was blessed with extraordinary martial ability, so that he may carry out the more aggressive parts of his patron's agenda.

In order to trigger his transformation, he must mutter a certain catchphrase - an invocation in Classic Nahuatl - using the mystic anahuatl (ah-nah-WA-tul) that was gifted to him by his patron on the night he had become his warrior. It's a disc-shaped pendant of obsidian that turns into a full-on breastplate when shifting into Warrior form. Upon activation, it will emit a close of smoke that engulfs its wearer, revealing his new form the moment it clears.



As Yaotl, Alejandro wears a lightly-armored get-up resembling that of the Aztec ocēlōmeh (oh-seh-LOH-meh) - the Jaguar Knights of old, an elite class of warrior who were practically the earthly representatives of Tezcatlipoca's power. His skin seems to be painted black, with thick, horizontal bands of black and yellow adorning his face. He also seems to be noticeably taller and a fair bit larger, a physical representation of his newfound strength.

Weapon:
Like the Jaguar Warriors of old, Yaotl bears as his main weapon a macuahuitl (mak-wa-WEE-tul) - a wooden club studded with rows of obsidian blades. He calls it "Miquiliztli," (me-kee-LEES-tlee) which translates to 'Death' in Classical Nahuatl. It was said that weapons like this were capable of decapitating a horse in one blow, and while that might potentially be an exaggeration, in the hands of a divinely-enhanced warrior, it's quite possible. However, while perfectly lethal, it's designed in such a way that non-lethal dispatchment is just as viable as simple killing, allowing Ale to end a fight without necessarily ending a life.

He also carries as a sidearm a tecpatl (TEK-pa-tul), a mystical flint knife which was traditionally used for sacrifice and, in the hands of the Jaguar Warriors, close combat. It does have its uses in a battle, but as its uses are ultimately limited (especially when squaring up against actual monsters), he uses it more for utility, like cutting rope. Sometimes he'll even use it to communicate with his patron; while Tezcatlipoca rarely manifests, he does seem to be everpresent, and he'll occasionally send signs such as a chilling night breeze as a way of directing his Warrior's attention. If he's in need of guidance, Yaotl may simply set the knife down and watch as the winds spin it about, pointing him in the way he needs to go.

Abilities
Ocelotl: Pronounced Oh-SEH-loh-tul, meaning 'jaguar' in Classical Nahuatl. As the black jaguar was Tezcatlipoca's nahual, his sacred animal, so to speak, Yaotl gains the ability to shapeshift into one, either fully or partially. While not shifted, he still gains a portion of the creature's attributes, such as an increase in agility and heightened senses.

Yoalli Ehécatl: Pronounced Yo-WAL-ee eh-EH-caht-ul, translating to 'Night Wind' from Classical Nahuatl, this is a title of Tezcatlipoca's that's essentially a metaphor for invisibility. As an agent of a god who is often unseen, Yaotl possess the ability to cloak himself, although this can only be done for a few minutes at a time, and not while he's fully shifted. Doing it while partially shifted reduces the time he can maintain it, in way that's inversely proportional to how much he's shifted.
Also, getting hurt tends to seriously disrupt this ability, so he has to be careful not to let that happen. Rather than actual combat, it's best used for sneaking around, stalking one's prey until the time comes to strike.

Atlatl: Pronounced AT-lat-ul, this is a traditional Aztec weapon and sacred weapon of Tezcatlipoca that, like his other weapons, can be summoned in a puff of smoke. While Miquiliztli covers his melee needs, he uses this to attack at a range, hurling large darts at enemies from afar, which disappear in a puff of smoke after a couple of minutes. These can hit quite hard, and are especially handy against larger, slower targets. Quicker and/or smaller targets can be tricky even for him, though; best used sniping from a distance, especially under the cover of night.​

Brief Backstory: Alice was an average high-schooler with an affinity for the odd and misunderstood, often finding herself fascinated with subjects most considered too morbid or strange. One night, she encountered the Aztec goddess Tlaltecuhtli in her dream. Overwhelmed but intrigued, she accepted the goddess' gift of power, becoming a magical warrior.
Plan for character development: Starting off as a bold but inexperienced warrior, Alice's journey will mainly focus on learning about the intricacies of her powers and making mature decisions. The jokster girl will grow into a stronger, more responsible individual, but hopefully won’t lose her spark that makes her unique.
