Masumi Nagamori; the youngest.
- Her name?
Masumi Nagamori.
Her age?
Fifteen, as of December 31st.
Her gender?
Undeniably female - an odd one, but still feminine.
Her occupation?
She's a student in high school; a sophomore. She also aspires to be an artist and writer.
Her relationship status?
She's a single pringle, and she prefers it that way. From what she's witnessed, love isn't worth the hassle. - Masumi has always been quite the oddball. Having been blessed with creativity and imagination, she's known for always having her head stuck in the clouds. At times, it truly seems like she forgets to come back down. She kind of lives in her own little world, having been incredibly displeased with the one she saw around her. As a child, Masumi was the very definition of innocent. However, as she grew older, and witnessed the battles her mother and father fought, a subtle darkness began to manifest inside her. Growing each time a fight erupted, she began to lose herself. Once her mother took her own life, Masumi didn't know what else to do.
All she could do was draw and write. It became her addiction. If she wasn't playing video games, watching anime, or reading manga, she was sketching or writing. It was like a part of her was absorbed inside each and every one of her artworks, her poems, her stories. It was all she could do to keep herself from being overwhelmed with sorrow and despair. Sometimes, it seems like she's drawing or writing like her very life depends on it. At least she's doing something productive, but sometimes, she misses being able to smile and laugh like an ordinary girl. When her mother died, it was like her heart and emotions died with her.
The only time Masumi truly feels alive is when she's playing Worlds Collide. Whether she's on a quest on her own or with others, she feels in control and completely free. She feels confident and skilled, and almost fearless. Worlds Collide gives her a feeling of accomplishment and self-acknowledgement that her real life works never gave her. Sometimes, it's like she's a completely different person. Instead of being that little wallflower that did her own thing in the background, she shines here as one of the Fae. It sometimes feels like the sun comes up in that world just to greet her. Silly, Masumi knows, but that's how gratifying she feels in that world.
She's just waiting for a signal, a sign, a push, just something.. That will give her the strength she needs to get over her mute, introvert self, and become the beautiful blossom she's always dreamed of being.
- Masumi was born on New Years Eve approximately fifteen years ago. She's always been pretty small and frail physically, but when it came to mental matters, she was always over the top. Buzzing with imagination and creativity, Masumi was practically born an artist. Her favorite things to hold were colors, pencils, and pens - you'd never see her
- not doodling. As she grew older, her artistic skills grew with her. She turned to various forms of art - her calling just so happened to be within the works of literature and drawing. From the canvas to electric programs, she loves to sketch and paint. She also grew to truly enjoy writing - from short stories to poems, even to her plots for her own, original manga.
Masumi has always loved computers, and with the internet came various things. One just to happened to be online anime and manga, which Masumi immediately fell in love with. Why wait for the shows to air on the television when you could simply look it up online and watch it immediately? Masumi fell in love with the internet, and soon she found even more amusing matters. Online Video Games. First, it was simple RPGs. Then came the MMORPGs. Finally, the future is ahead of her - VRMMOs were released. These were things that all the Nagamori sister's enjoyed - the one common ground they found with one another. While Masumi and her eldest sister, Reina, were proud of their girl gamer selves, Naomi was more shy about it all. Even so, they always played together in the wondrous, fantasy worlds that VRMMOs provided.
After some time, things at the Nagamori home began to darken. What used to be filled with various forms of fun and laughter was now filled with arguments and chaos. It was becoming evident that Masumi's father was having an affair, and her mother couldn't push the fact away any longer. She began confronting him about it, and this confrontation led to arguments. Some of which would become violent, leaving Reina, Naomi, and Masumi huddled together in one room, providing solace and comfort to one another. Reina was always protective over Naomi and Masumi, and Masumi looked up to her greatly. That's why it hit her pretty hard when she moved out of the house, not being able to handle the arguing any longer.
After that, things began rolling downhill at incredible rates. Masumi's mother and father began arguing more and more, becoming immensely chaotic. Masumi's mother was left broken and bruised at times, and though Masumi and Naomi wanted to confide in someone so badly, their mother begged them not to. Even when she was put on bed-rest, sleeping all the time to where it was almost as though she was in a coma, when awake, she'd beg her daughters to keep their mouths shut. It was all in fear of their father leaving them, and soon, that fear became a reality.
Once Masumi's mother was awake and back on her feet, she rose to see her husband walking out the door. Finally, he admitted to his affair, and stated with obnoxious pride that he was leaving her for another woman. Masumi and Naomi were left in shock at his betrayal - though, deep on the inside, Masumi was glad that he was leaving. That meant that her mother wouldn't have to hurt anymore, but in all reality... She was more pained than ever before. This was a pain that Masumi soon realized her mother wasn't recovering from. The sound of her singing, a treasured sound indeed, was never heard again. Her mother's smile, once so radiant despite the arguing of yesterday, completely faded away.
Soon, her mother gave up on everything, gave up on trying... Gave up on living.
Masumi was the one to find her that fateful morning. In the night, her mother locked herself in her bathroom, and took nearly all the pills she could find in her medicine cabinet. With her husband's favorite bottle of whiskey he happened to leave behind, she drank all her sorrows away, and her world became eternally black. Masumi's face was twisted with shock and horror, and her sister could hear her scream from the other side of the house. Masumi stood over her mother's body, shaking it in a fit of disbelief, until Naomi came and took her away. She held her close, even though Masumi tried so hard to push her away. Despite the fact that her sister tried to provide solace, all Masumi could feel was bitterness.
She threw her heart away that day, along with her voice.
Having no other relatives, being that they were all either deceased or not in the picture, Masumi and Naomi contacted their sister, Reina. She had moved away to the big city - one where the college Naomi planned to attend just so happened to be. So, they went off to live with her, and the three sisters were together once again. Well... In a sense. The three have always been incredibly different, and all had conflicting schedules. Masumi constantly drowned herself in her writing, schoolwork, and artwork, while Naomi was busy as a part-time waitress and college freshman. Reina was in her own band and got a job as a mechanic, so it seemed that they never had time for one another.
That was, until Worlds Collide was released.
Masumi was browsing the internet, as she does ever so frequently, and she saw an add for it. Telling her other sisters about it, Reina surprised everyone by buying the game and equipment for Christmas. Since then, just like they did when they were kids, they played the game together. Though their different quests, guilds, races, and whatnot would always set them apart, WC became that common ground that the girls needed. It also became the escape Masumi needed, as well. In the real world, Masumi was that little, odd, and mute girl who always had her head stuck in the clouds. Brilliant, but dull at the same time. However, in WC, she was strong, fearless; a leader at times. She even spoke in the game - occasional, but still present, her voice was. A silent, but strong character, she built for herself.
Her name is Su, and she's an elegant, swift, and strong Sorcerer. One of the Fae, blessed with beauty and skill; she became who Masumi only wishes and dreams she could be in real life.
Who knows... Perhaps this little caterpillar can become a butterfly in the end?
Or maybe, she was all along.
- Her name?
Su Starlight.
Her race?
One of the Fae - a Faerie.
Her class?
She's a wondrous sorceress, using the ways of magic to attack, defend, and heal.
Her job?
Su is an Apothecary, currently mastering the ways of buffs and potions. She's also quite the cook.
Her weapons?
Su's weapons are her accessories - from amulets to pendants and relics to stones - they help conjure her magic, as well as enhance it.
Any pets?
Su has a pet serpent named Yuri. She first found her at Fae Falls. Just relaxing in the clear waters, Su watched a flower resembling a lily float down the water. Su watched as it neared her, and suddenly - poof! - the lily turned into a small serpent. Su fell in love with the creature and decided to keep her as a pet, naming her Yuri, which means lily. Like Su, Yuri has the ability to transform - a small serpent one moment to a large and wondrous one the next. Also blessed with the ability of flight, if Su's wings were to get tired, she could always ride upon Yuri's captivating form. The two of them are practically inseparable; you'll never catch Su without her. Yuri also is quite helpful in combat, being that she's quite a powerful creature. Su adores her and treasures her dearly. - Gifts of the Fae:
Being one of the Fae has certain benefits. One of the obvious ones is the gift of flight. Su has beautiful color-changing wings that allow her to soar the skies for long periods of time, though she has to rest every once in a while. Also, being one with an affinity for the elements and magic, she has heightened magical and elemental abilities. Her spells, charms, and any potion she makes have a higher chance of working, and any elemental items she may need to gather are easier for her to find. The forest is her home, after all - she knows it like the back of her hand.

Naomi Nagamori; the middle child.
- Her name?
Naomi Nagamori.
Her age?
As of February 1st, she's eighteen years young.
Her gender?
She is most definitely female; and an alluring one, at that.
Her occupation?
She's a student in college; a freshman, to be exact. She's also working part-time as a waitress.
Her relationship status?
Naomi goes through guys like no other, but she never commits to them. In a sense, she is in fact single. - Naomi has always been a little firecracker waiting to go off. Reckless and overly confident, she's known to be quite.. "Out there." Her dramatic actions were almost like a cry for attention when she was a little girl, but as she grew older, they became assets for her choice of career paths. Acting: The world of Drama and Wonder! It was Naomi's calling, and she was both a drama queen on stage and off. Though, as she matured, she began to realize what the limits were. Still a Diva, but more domestic, she became. She learned how to use her acting skills to her benefit - especially when it came to flirting. Even if she thought she was totally hideous that day, she could act like nothing was wrong. A little bat of the eyes here, a twirl of her hair there - boys were practically her slaves. Her friends would beg for a hook up, and the generous Naomi would usually provide... That is, unless she had more use of the guy first.
She wasn't always a predator-like type, though. Naomi was a sweet heart up until the whole Swan Lake incident. Sure, she's always been and always will be a drama queen, but she never used people for her own gain. She was reckless, but selfless at times. Even now, underneath that incredibly convincing facade, lies a true and kind heart. It's quite soft as well, which is why she's built her walls so high. No one, not even her sisters, have been able to overcome it. That's exactly what Naomi wants, but.. In her own private kingdom, it gets lonely. She's almost like a Princess locked up in a tower of her own design. In Naomi's logic, it's much better to be alone than to be truly involved. That way, you won't get hurt.
Still, she realizes that she does break quite a few hearts. Once that guy in the coffee shop realizes that she only flirted with him for a good Cup of Joe, he's left feeling like a fool. However, Naomi never feels bad for more than a few seconds. She's got the habit of pretending that that boy she just tricked is just a mirror image of her monster of a father. Brutal, horrid, and a traitor, that man was. He's what struck that inner hate hidden within Naomi's once pure heart. He brought the darkness, though Naomi allowed it to manifest within her. She nurtured it, and made it into something she can use to benefit herself. Just like her father used women, Naomi has learned to use men. It's amazing what a few words and a sweet smile can do. If she craves affection, she can access it easily - just grab it herself, if she's feeling forward.
Though, deep down inside, she knows.. She knows that ever-so constant wondering. The wondering of, "is there really something true out there?" Perhaps the betrayal of her father and mother isn't what the entire world is made of... Though, for now, Naomi has vowed to remain neutral. Not rejecting the idea, but not believing it, either. Perhaps there will come a day when she won't have to hide herself from anyone. Perhaps she can face her demons and finally defeat them one day...
Still, for now, the only battles Naomi's worried about are within the wonderful Worlds Collide.- Naomi was born on February first about eighteen years ago. Being the middle child, she was usually.. Well, "caught in the middle." Masumi was the baby of the family, while Reina was the eldest. Their mother was obnoxiously close to Masumi, in Naomi's eyes, while she was quite distant from Reina. Naomi hated to admit it, but ever since Masumi was born, she was jealous of her. All the attention and affection that was once hers was being poured over her new baby sister, and she hated it. However, she could never hate Masumi. In fact, the two of them were much closer than Naomi was to Reina. In fact, Naomi and Reina have had quite the problematic relationship from the very beginning.
Whenever their mother wasn't around, Reina was always the one to take charge, her being the eldest. Naomi, ever since she was a little girl, was always the firecracker that Reina tried to contain. Naomi wouldn't have it though - she was one practically born for drama. In fact, she's always been quite the drama queen. In more ways than one, she's always been fascinated by it all. Falling in love with movies, they were the only thing that could ever get her to be quiet. Reina would simply put on one of Naomi's favorite movies - one where the heroine got her happy ending - and Naomi would be as silent as can be. Analyzing the character's acting, their facial expressions - even copying some of them - she fell in love with the whole package.
That was when Naomi found her calling for Theatre Arts. She was an excellent actress, which her fine arts teachers found out quite quickly. She even landed the leading role in her favorite play of all time - Swan Lake. Being the Swan Princess was far better than any Prom Queen or Homecoming Queen crown she could possibly earn. Naomi was incredibly proud, and she wanted to tell her entire family about it. However, this was around the time when her mother and father began fighting. That evening, when she came home, was when a violent battle erupted between her parents. It was almost able to be considered a routine, all three sisters huddling together in one room, Reina covering their ears while their parents screamed at each other.
In the end, only Masumi and Reina showed up to Naomi's play.
Since then, Naomi was quite distant from both her parents. The fighting kept getting worse and worse, and soon Naomi didn't even talk to them anymore. Reina moved out too, leaving Masumi and Naomi to fend for themselves. Even though Naomi saw her as such a burden before, she couldn't help but miss her once she was gone. In fact, she even felt a little betrayed. Her elder sister was always the one to protect Masumi and her; how could she leave them now when things were spiraling downward? Naomi didn't know, and soon, she forced herself not to care. She didn't want her or her parents affection anymore - in fact, she couldn't help but silently wish they would all disappear.
Never did she expect they actually would, though.
After the fights took a large toll on their mother, putting her in bed-rest, Naomi saw a change in her father. One larger than ever before - she noticed him gathering his things, packing as though he was going on some vacation. He would be gone for weeks, only leaving little and insignificant things behind. Naomi was old enough to know her father was having an affair, and it was made quite obvious when she heard her mother screaming about it every other night. Still, when it actually happened - when her father actually left their family for some other woman, packing every last bit of his things except a single bottle of whiskey.. Naomi felt the sting of betrayal. Even though she saw it coming, it still came as a complete shock.
Since then, she never trusted men. In fact, she began using them for her own gain.
If she didn't have enough money to buy a soda at school, all she would have to do is bat her pretty brown eyes a little and flirt her way to it. Guys were such suckers for a face like Naomi's, so she didn't even have to try as hard as some other girls might have to. She used men, both when she was lonely, and when she wanted something that wasn't in her grasp. Naomi always knew that what she was doing was wrong, but in that point of her life, she just didn't care. Her sisters were all distant, and Naomi didn't have many friends. They all only saw her for her talent in acting - none of the people who fawned over her were her actual friends. In fact, none of them even knew of her secret obsession - video games.
She used to always play them with Reina and Masumi - VRMMOs being their games of choice - and it was the only common ground the sisters had. When Reina moved out, them playing together stopped, but Naomi still played some on her own. From VRMMOs to console and regular MMORPGs - they fascinated her just as much as her favorite movies did, and in a weird sense, they made her feel like the bond between her and her sisters was still there. Though she would never admit it to herself.. She missed how they used to play together all the time. In a way, VRMMOs signified the good times she used to have with her family. With those times clearly gone, when she played... It gave her a sense that they were still there. Although, she could never let her secret obsession get out - otherwise, people would never see her for her acting potential again. They'd only see the girl obsessed with video games. Naomi always saw that as shameful.
She still managed to balance both hobbies, however. Landing a slot in the Academy of Arts - her first choice college - her future was set. Still.. She had no one to tell the good news to. No one but Masumi, but she was such an oddball in Naomi's eyes - always had her head stuck in the clouds. She was always reading manga, watching anime, or sketching out something. Though Naomi wanted to deem her a total geek, she wasn't one to talk. She was the closet gamer girl, after all. However, she still wanted to tell her mother - have her mother say she was proud of her for something, for once.
Naomi never got her wish, though.
Soon after Naomi got the good news of getting accepted into the Academy of Arts, her mother committed suicide. She left no note behind, no sign of any last words. There was nothing but the empty whiskey bottle and a wild array of pills on the floor. Naomi couldn't hide the hurt, and what hurt her even more is the fact that Masumi was the one to discover her that morning. Naomi knew how close they were, and though she used to envy their relationship, now she realized that it only made this loss even more terrible for Masumi. All Naomi could do was hold her and comfort her, though she knew that nothing would make this better. Again, a wave of betrayal washed over her. Would this pattern never end?
Reluctantly, Naomi knew that the only place she and Masumi had to go was Reina's place in the big city. Ironically enough, she happened to live near the Academy of Arts. So, as Naomi graduated and Masumi got promoted to her second year of high school, they transferred, and are now trying to turn over a new leaf. Things were incredibly awkward at first, being that they almost never had time to speak. It was almost as though they were all strangers living in the same home, at least through Naomi's eyes. Reina was always with her band or at the garage where she worked as a mechanic, Masumi was drowning herself in school work and her hobbies, while Naomi had to get a job of her own and finish her college work.
However, Reina surprised them all one Christmas.
Worlds Collide: the VRMMO everyone was talking about.
Naomi heard Masumi mention it to her, and being the closet gamer she is, Naomi already knew about it. Still, she didn't have the money to buy it, and there were no boys she could flirt her way to it. Being a Mechanic and Band-mate must pay enough, because Reina got it and all the equipment for it for all three of them. Naomi couldn't hide her pleasure, for it was what she secretly craved - the three of them having that common ground again. Worlds Collide was the breath of fresh air that all three of them surely needed. Even though they didn't always interact in the game when they played, it was still wonderful. There was that connection again, and Naomi knew that she definitely wasn't staying with strangers.
She was just as reckless and flirtatious in the game as she was in real life - choosing a beautiful and alluring Fox Hybrid for her alter ego. Being a Dancer and a Necromancer, her new self, Nao, was as graceful as she was dangerous. Naomi was free in there, and she was more powerful than she ever felt before. It lived up to it's name, and only enhanced Naomi's real life confidence. Taking out a dungeon full of monsters only boosted her self-esteem for her tryouts the next day. And, being a Dancer in the game, made her want to take up dancing in the real world, as well. Her professors saw that as a plus, and Naomi became just as popular as she was in high school - perhaps even more so.
She couldn't help but wonder if people would feel the same way about her if they knew of her little obsession, but who cares? At least she can be herself around her sisters again. Though things will never be the same.. It's a start, right?- Her name?
Nao Netherworld.
Her race?
An alluring Hybrid between a Fox and a Human.
Her class?
She's quite the captivating Dancer, as well as a formidable Necromancer.
Her Job?
Nao's got a thing for tailoring. Any cloth she mends is not only beautiful, but powerful as well.
Her Weapons?
As for her Dancer weapon, those are her Fans - edges dipped in poison. As for her Necromancer weapon; that's her Scythe of the Dead.
Any pets?
None as of yet - unless you count the males that follow her around like puppies, or the souls of the dead that obey her every whim and command.. - Gifts of the Fox Hybrid:
Certain benefits and skills come with being a Fox Hybrid. One of those happen to be a skill called Fox Fire. It's a fire that Nao can conjure at any time and any place, and should an enemy be hit by it, it slowly drains their HP bit by bit, even after the fire disappears. However, the fire is known to also be able to heal. Any allies who touch the flame will notice their HP rise as time goes by. Another benefit are Nao's poisonous claws. Her claw-like nails are as sharp as razors, and the tip of them possess natural toxins. Should an enemy feel her cut, they'll notice their HP drain as time goes by - bit by bit, until there's nothing left.

Singing and playing instruments, as well as suiting up a nice car, bring Reina more joy than you could possibly imagine. She doesn't mind coming home covered in grease and soot. In fact, she's grown to have quite a fancy for the smell of oil and gasoline. Blame it on the garage, she'd probably say.
Still, Reina has quite a darkness hidden inside of her. Due to the fact that she's never really had her own voice, being that she's always had to put her family before herself, her feelings are quite bottled up. She never really says what's on her mind unless someone asks her, which gives her this air of intimidating mystery sometimes. She could stare out into space for hours, just sucking on her cigarette and lost in deep thought. The words she never says aloud drown her sometimes, though she's never opened up to anyone about it. Reina has always been stuck in the supporting role, always the leader, the shoulder for someone to lean on - never has she had someone she could lean on when she needed to. She's always had to support herself, as well as others, and it's drained on her quite a lot mentally.
She just tries to release it all when she sings or plays her music. Due to her bottled up emotions, when she lets them out through music, you can really tell that they're there. Her band mates are always telling her how they love how much feeling she puts into her music. Little did they know just how much feeling there actually is on the inside. Reina has always been in this mindset that.. "If you don't ask, I'll assume you don't wish to know... So why should I tell you?"
However, when she's just Rei, and she's flying and battling about with her beasts at her side... She's never felt more free, more able to express herself. She'll tell you exactly how she feels about that hunt - how proud she is after defeating that boss on that dungeon raid. In Worlds Collide, you can hardly get Rei to shut up. Nothing like her real self, who will usually only speak when spoken to.
Maybe, one of these days, the talkative Rei and the mysterious Reina will become one.
Collide, fair say.
Who knows?- Reina was born on October 30th around 21 years ago. Eldest of three sisters, she didn't have much of a childhood. Most of her time was spent helping her mother raise her younger sisters. First Naomi, the most rebellious kid Reina has ever known, and then the sweet and eccentric Masumi. Sure, Reina loved those girls to death, but it was quite a hassle to take care of them when her mother decided to do something else. On the rare occasions that her mother and father would go on a date, Reina was always stuck with the babysitting job. She would much rather go out and hang with her friends or practice an instrument or two, but Reina never really had time for herself.
However, on the rare occasions that she did, it was always filled with music. Reina acquired a trait from her mother - her singing voice. The both of them were great singers, and Reina enhanced that ability the best that she knew how. Falling in love with music, she took up multiple forms of it. Staring with piano, then moving to strings. Guitar, Bass, Violin - Reina learned them all whenever she had spare time. Being that she didn't have much of that, it took her a few years to learn how to play them right. Once she got it down, though... She got it down. Reina's calling was music - as simple as that. She had incredible talent in that criteria, and she enjoyed it all through her middle and high school years. Being apart of Choir and Band was a hassle - almost as big of a hassle as taking care of her sisters was - but Reina knew how to multitask well enough.
In fact, she even made time for video games. It kept all of her sisters busy, so it also made it easier to watch them. VRMMOs were their favorites, and sometimes the three sisters would stay up all night playing them. Even though all three of them were incredibly different on multiple levels, they always found common ground when they played together. It made everything easier to bear - having a little break to have some fun sometimes. Still.. Eventually, they had to come back to reality. It was a reality that Reina was beginning to hate with all her power.
Once her parents began fighting, and once they became violent, Reina didn't know what she was supposed to do. She'd always gather her two sisters together in a room with her, cover their ears, and hold them close, trying to keep them calm while screams and bangs resonated throughout the house. Reina didn't want to just sit by and do nothing. She wanted to tell, she wanted to report it. Around the time she graduated, she was dead set on doing so. However, her mother kept begging her and her sisters again and again not to. It was driving Reina mad. If her mother wasn't going to do something about it, and she forbid her daughters to do anything about it, then what exactly was going to happen?
Reina knew, and no matter how much she loved her little sisters, she couldn't stay in that house to find out. She wanted to go to school and pursue her musical career. She also grew interested in cars after she saved up to buy her own. Not wanting to rely on some stranger to repair her beautiful Mustang Fastback, she studied cars, engines, and all the works. Finding this just as interesting as music, she even took a class for it in college. Engineering along with advanced musical theory. You wouldn't really expect a music and mechanic double major, but Reina did it, and she got degrees in them both. Throughout her college years, she made quite a few close friends, too. Impressed with her skill, and she being impressed with theirs, they all made a band together. So, Reina got a job both as a mechanic, and as a lead singer and guitar/bass player. She mainly sings, however - only plays guitar or bass when another band-mate is absent.
Things were finally beginning to settle with Reina, though she always wondered how things back at home were doing. Never did she think that they were as bad as they turned out to be. Her father leaving her mother for another woman, and her mother taking her own life, leaving her little sisters to fend for themselves. It was nothing like the damage Reina moving out could have done. She simply changed zip codes, not worlds. Feeling guilt, pain, and loss wash over her, she gladly took in her little sisters, and helped them any way she could. She noticed how different they both were once they set foot in the house. Masumi refused to speak, and Naomi was always running around recklessly. Reina got fed up when Naomi would bring a guy home every other week, so they began arguing a bit. Everything was just so... Different.
So, when Masumi mentioned the latest VRMMO, Worlds Collide, Reina got the greatest idea.
Why not start playing video games together again, just like they did when they were younger?
It was a perfect idea, Reina knew. So, she ordered the game for all three of them, along with the equipment to match. The plan was a success, and as all three of them played, they bonded. Even when they weren't interacting in the game together, they would always tell stories about the quests and raids they did after they logged out. It, again, became the common ground that the three of them so desperately needed. Though Reina was usually at band practice or at the garage she worked at, Naomi was attending college and working as a part time waitress, and Masumi drowned herself in her school and art work - they could always sit back and play Worlds Collide at the end of the day. Reina fell in love with her character, Rei - an outstanding human Enchantress and beast tamer. Having a harp for a weapon made Reina want to take it up in real life, even playing the same songs she does in game outside the game, as well. Oh, how she wished she had a pet dragon in real life, too!
It was like a breath of fresh air, and Reina could feel things clearing up.
Perhaps their days will continue to brighten?- Her name?
Rei Rosewater.
Her race?
She's your slightly above-average human.
Her class?
Rei is a formidable Enchantress, as well as quite the remarkable Beast Tamer.
Her Job?
Rei's a more solitary blacksmith, mainly crafting musical instruments for herself. Although she can make other various weapons, as well.
Her Weapons?
Rei's main weapon of choice is a Dragon Harp she holds dear. She crafted it herself, and has imbued quite the lot into it. However, her fellow beasts also count as her weapons, as well.
Any pets?
Does Rei have any pets, you ask? Ha! She's got the whole lot of them! From her flock of dragons to her pack of wolves to her reliable sea serpents - she's got an entire inventory filled with her dear beasts. What can you say? Rei really loves animals - she just couldn't settle for one. - Gifts of the Human:
Being human doesn't really have any special privileges, when one looks at it. Well... Except for the fact that they're expert craftsman! Being the creators of the floating kingdoms in the sky wasn't for naught - humans have a thing for building. Therefore, Rei has the special skill of great craftsmanship. This skill comes in handy quite a lot, being that Rei is a blacksmith. It helps her imbue weapons with ease, craft them with skill. She appreciates the skill very much, and uses it to the best of her ability.
