Gato Community College. (game thread)

[DarkRawen]

"I'd like to say, but I've got classes. I guess I'll see you around then, maybe?"

"I hope so," she chimed back, standing and getting her instruments, singing to herself as she did. She too had classes, and while she'd love to spend more time outside, she reasoned that she couldn't really miss more of them than she already had.

Not if I'm going to join Gungnir.

Next Day

"Will all Gungnir candidates please make your way to your appointed meeting site"

Lenah had been waiting for the announcement the whole day. While Mr. Donavon had told her when it would happen -between morning and evening classes- but she'd still been fairly occupied during her classes, thinking about it, trying to figure out who she would meet, and just what they wanted them to do. With long rose-colored hair lightly flowing after her as she ran, Lenah made her way over to where the meeting site was. It was inside, which was a shame, but at least it looked bigger when she got inside than what it looked like from the outside. It even had banners.

Oh, wow.

She thought, as she entered.

I wonder how many people will show up.

Smiling brightly, she went to get her name written down in the books, before sitting down next to some of the others. She recognized Jarrah from the day before, and greeted him.

"Hi, Jarrah, right? It was nice meeting you yesterday, but wow, I didn't realize you signed up for this as well! Oh," she looked to the others, who were currently spread a little around. Meeting each of their eyes at some point as she spoke, she raised her voice;

"Hi, my name is Lenah, it's nice to meet all of you. I hope we'll have an enjoyable time together, even if it's this kind of thing." Pleased with her introduction, she looked to Jarrah again.

"So, how have you been? I'm a tiny bit tired, there was a party yesterday, and I promised my room-mate that we'd go." Despite saying this, she still seemed as bubbly and full of life as the day before.

 

[figment of mind]

"Say I don't suppose either of you know of any good scenes right now? I don't know about you but events lately have me a little on edge, and its easier to talk when you're someplace more fun."

"Uh...sorry, i would rather not. Things tend to go bad when i am in public, even when i am not directly related to the problem..." Mirabelle said, thinking back for a moment, not just to the events a few nights ago, but to the times she went out back home and how badly they ended up. She began to wonder if she was just a lightning rod for bad events...befor dismissing the idea. That couldn't be possible...right?

---The next day---

"Will all Gungnir candidates please make your way to your appointed meeting site"

Mirabelle was in the library, trying to figure out how she went from trying to quickly classify what sub-state of matter the Flexi-steel was, to the extended history of licorice and a (supposed) guide to mermaid mating rituals, when the announcement came. She was a bit suprised by this since she assumed that Gungnir was supposed to be maintaining at least some secrecy...before realizing that anyone the recruiters had talked to who had declined their offer had probably started spreading information like wildfire all over the school. Still, it didn't matter now, so there was no use thinking it over. She quickly put most of the books away, checked out the licorice and mermaid books before putting them in her bag, and headed off to the meeting spot.

When she got in, she wasn't all to shocked at the room being bigger on the outside than the inside, after all, when you set your bar to anything can happen, it tends to zap away some of the awe of the thing in question. Even with that though, she couldn't help but think 'TARDIS' when she actually stepped in. After getting marked down as one of the present recruits, Mira began looking for a good seat...along with wondering how one categorizes a "good" seat in this instance.

While she did that, Mirabelle spotted Jarrah, the dragon guy she met a few days ago, and a rather friendly girl who seemed to be introducing herself to the collected group, waving to them as she continued to look around. Eventually, she took a seat near Sierra, one with a chair instead of a crate, worrying that her weight may crush one if she chose to sit on it. She wondered if she should be making some introduction to the group too...but decided against it due to not everybody being there yet and her own shyness. Besides, they probably would have a time for something like that after the leader adressed them.

 

[Outcast107]

Spoiler: William

Name: William (though likes to be called Will)

Race: Human

Age: 17

Sex: Male

Personality: William is a bit of a shut in. He is extremely shy around others due to his years growing up mostly alone besides his abusive father for company. When William is around others he will at time shutter and mumble his words. Very unsure of himself in what he should say or act around people.

Description: Medium sliver hair that ends just at the back of his neck. William is around 5'6, skinny with hardly any muscles on his body. He looks pale due to spending his time indoors mostly due to his shyness around others. He looks mostly timid around others and speaks very quietly.

Normally wearing plain clothing that hardly stand out in the crowd. Rarely does he like to be around others, though due to the push from his mentor, he being assign to the Gungnir squad to do something with his life. As well as trying to break out of his shyness shell he has form over the years.
Magic: Weapon transforming.

Skills: Bladed hands/feet - William is able to transform his hands or feet into a bladed weapon. Able to cut into mostly anything with enough force applied.

Armor transformation - William is able to transform into a type of armor for one of his teammates, or transform one, or both of his hands into a shield for protection.

Enchanted Rifle - William's ultimate transformation. Able to transform into a rifle that is able to fire off magical bullets. Though this come at a small price. While still mastering this ability, William is only able to fire off a few shots before being push back into his human form.

Biography: William's life was a harsh one while growing up. He lost his mother at a young age, and his father barely even cared for him at a infinite. His father was expelled from his school due to his meddling with powers he could hardly control. Though Will's father continue his studies in more forbidden arts of magic. Wanting to make the perfect weapon to be unleashed against his enemies. For poor William, this means he was going to be the test subject.

Years go by and William is forced to go through all the magical rituals his father can conjured on him. Almost every time it would end in a failure which in turn would mean punishment for William. For this, his father hardly ever let him out of the house. Never letting him go to school or have any friends due to his failures. Though the real reason is so no one will know what he been doing to his son during these experiments.

During this time, William always blame himself for his failures. Wanting to prove to his father that he was worth something. Never fully understanding how much of a abusive relationship he had with his father. Always thinking his father was kind when he did feed him or gave him things to wear and sleep on. Never really getting angry with what was happening to him.

One day, when he was twelfth years old, William was able to transform his hand into a blade. While excited, he ran towards his dad. Though in his blind excitement, he trip over his feet and plunged the blade into his father's gut. Only to rip it out in sheer fear of what he done to his only father, effectively killing him.

Scared out of his mind, Will ran from his house in only his black shirt and brown shorts. Running away from what happen in his bare feet until he could hardly run any more. With blood on his hands, William shut himself off from the rest of the world. Not wanting to hurt anyone else with his powers.

With no where to go, William slept on the streets. He didn't know how to interact with anyone or where to go for help. So he made the best out of it as he stole food when he needed too. When someone tried to stop him from stealing or try to interact with him on the streets, William would always run away.

As he sat in a alleyway one day, a strange man walk up beside him and sat down. William was about to run away when the man offer him some food and water. William took the food without question as he was starving since the owners of the local stores were getting wiser about stopping him from stealing. As William ate, the man spoke to him gently and offering him a place to go to train to use his abilities. While cautious of the man, Will went with him. He had no where else to go. With that William life mostly change around. He was brought into the Gato Community college by one of the teachers. To be train privately and away from the others until he was ready to be near them.

William

William was walking slowly towards the meeting place. His mentor already giving him luck and telling him that he will do fine. Though what does he know! He hardly ever leaves his house, and when he does it mostly just to teach! Though he never complain about his mentor leaving the house. Since it meant that he didn't need to leave either.

Pushing thoughts aside, William looked up ahead and saw two officers at the door. Walking up even slower as he got closer to them. Looking at both as he mumbles his name and enters quickly. The officers already being inform of his problems with others. Though they gave him a confusing glance and just shrugged it off.

Once inside, William look around to see the room was larger then it should have been. Being used to places like this he felt a little comfortable. Though as he saw the others students there, his anxiety were returning. What if they didn't like him? What if he messed up on the first day and they want him kicked out?! Oh why did he let his mentor talk him into this.

William look around and spotted a seat in the back. Sitting at the farthest seat he could and hope that no one notice him at all. Hoping to blend in with the chair so no one talks to him. Breathing slowly to get back under control. Though as he tries to, he seen one of the students look towards him. Which set him back to panicking again.

Tomas

Tomas let Jarrah and his new friend chat. He wasn't really in the mood to talk anyways as he hear the door opening and closing again from behind. Turning around to spy a guy with silver white hair. Wondering who he was as he never really remember a student with that hair color yet. About to shrugged it off until he notice the kid was seeming like he was going to passed out for some reason.

'Odd...must be nervous or something..' he thought to himself. Turning his head back around to give the guy a break. He wouldn't want the guy to pass out right before the meeting. That would just mean this meeting would take longer to bring him back conscious. His focus returns to the girl in front of the table. Wondering when Jarrah meet this girl at, since he seem to be very friendly open person. At least a bit more towards the ladies it seems...

 

[Athol]

Spoiler: Viktor

Name: Viktor Zhuk

Race: Vampire

Age: 94

Sex: Male

Description: The easiest way to describe Viktor would be ?Stereotypical Russian Mob Heavy?. At 6?4? and pushing 270 lbs with a cage fighters build, Viktor makes for an imposing sight, but given what he is, as strong as he looks, he?s even stronger than that. Due to some bad scarring on the left side of his face, and up into his hair line, he keeps his head shaved to avoid having a permanent bad hair day. His right eye is a pale hazel brown, but his left is missing entirely, lost in the incident that scarred up his head. If you can ignore the scars, and his impressive build, he really looks rather unremarkable, just another late 20s, early 30s Easter European male. In reality he?s a 94 year old vampire.

Clothing wise he?s as nondescript as one can be with his build, favouring boot, jeans, and long sleeved shirts, as well as gloves and a hooded jacket if he has to venture outside during the daytime. (Unlike most Hollywood depictions, vampires can venture being outside during the day, so long as the exposure is short and no skin is directly exposed to sunlight). Over the socket where his left eye was, he wears an eye patch made from the leather and steel of a Wehrmacht helmet.

Like almost all vampires, Viktor was actually originally human. Born in 1921 in a small farming community not too far from Kiev during the Ukrainian War of Independence. Life was hard, but Viktor?s family made due as best they could in the chaos that surrounded them; with his family too poor to send his or his siblings to school, he grew up on his parent?s farm, helping out as best he could at such young age. Nothing changed much for Viktor until the early ?30s when the Holodomor swept across much of Ukraine. Between starvation and illness he lost his mother and both his older siblings, leaving him and his now emotionally shattered father to carry on. Unable to run the farm any longer, they headed to Kiev in hopes of making enough of a living to survive.

The following decade or so was tough living a hand-to-mouth existence as Victor tried to support his father and himself. When the war came in ?41 he initially did nothing, opting instead to stay home and to continue to care for his father who had never recovered from the death of his wife and two oldest children. That changed in late 1942 when a German artillery shell hit the tenement they were living in while Viktor was away, killing his father and two dozen other residents. Unlike some who?d welcomed the Nazis as liberators from Soviet rule, Viktor had seen them as just trading one collar for another, so after much searching, and one sever beating, he tracked down and joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, taking the fight to both the Soviets and the Nazis wherever possible.

In 1944 during a skirmish with retreating German forces, he was nearly killed when a grenade went off near him, peppering the left side of the head with shrapnel and costing him his eye. After only a month or so of recuperation, he was back in the field until late ?47 when during a fight with Soviet NVKD troops he was cut down by a machine gun. As the battle moved off, he was found barely clinging to life, by scouts from the Yurchenko Clan, one of the largest vampire ?families? in Ukraine. Impressed by Viktor?s will to live despite the pain, the lead scout Yuri decided to ?turn? Viktor. After some infield ?recuperation? he was taken back to the ?family? and began his indoctrination into this new world of his.

After an adjustment period, he settled into his new role as a ?trouble shooter? for the Clan. Over the decades he?s also gained the education that had been denied his as a child, letting him prove he wasn?t just some dumb bruiser, good for smacking heads and little else. Smart, strong, and capable, he?s now the go to guy for any serious problems that the clan encounters, and now answers directly to the Elders of the Clan, much to the annoyance of some of his older ?brothers? and ?sisters?.

Recently he?s been brought in to investigate the theft of a treasured artifact from one of the Clan?s holdings in the Eastern Ukraine. While the current unrest in the region have made gathering evidence on site nearly impossible, sources in Japan have noted at least one incident that may have a connection to the artifact. Viktor has been sent to Japan to see if the incident is related to the Clan?s stolen property, and if so retrieve it.

Personality: Despite the stereotype of vampires being egotistical, vain and power hungry, looking down on humans as mere cattle; Viktor still retains his ?humanity? for lack of a better word. He?s conscious of his own failings, and while physically superior to any human, he?s well aware that many are much smarter than him. On a social level, while certainly no ?Type A? personality, he?s not some muscle bound mute who is little more than furniture when not busting heads. Though quiet by nature, once he opens up he?s quite friendly, and once someone has earned his trust and respect he is a formidable ally.


Magic
Vampiric Allure: A form of ?glamour? magic used generally to subdue humans before feeding, it can also be used to make them more compliant to the vampire?s wishes or commands.

Skills
Vampiric Senses: As what some would call ?The Perfect Predator? his senses operate on a level beyond even most animals. He can hear, see, taste, small, and feel variations in his environment that most scientific instruments would have trouble detecting.

Vampiric Might: He?s capable of feats of strength, speed, agility, and stamina that even the best Olympic athletes could never hope to match.

Several Nights Ago

Viktor sipped a neat scotch as the private flight from Vladivostok to Tokyo came into land at Tokyo Narita Airport. After a smooth landing and taxiing to the charter terminal, he stepped off the G500 to find a blacked out Lexus waiting for him; from the look in the driver?s eyes as he stood by the open rear door, the man was a thrall. I wonder who he pissed off? Vik thought idly. ?? He said in Ukrainian as he slid into the rear seat. The thrall simply nodded, and headed over to the jet retrieved Viktor?s luggage, before stowing it the car?s trunk and driving out of the airport. Due to certain ?arraignments? Viktor bypassed Immigration and Customs without a single hassle.

Now

Sitting in the back of the same car, he watched the city slide passed as he made his way to Gato Community Collage. A school dedicated to non-humans? Why don?t we have these back home? Shame about the name though?kinda dull. He thought, making a mental note to bring it up with the Elders when he got back. Picking up a file folder from the seat beside him, he leafed through what information the Clan?s agents and contacts had been able to gather about the two attacks on the school. He?d already read the file several times during his trip here, hoping to find something in what little they had to give him a clue, but to no avail. With an angry sigh he tossed the file back onto the seat.

Several minutes later the car pulled into Gato?s parking lot, and covering up to shield himself, he rapidly made his way to the Admin office to sign in and get a room assignment while the thrall got his gear. Room number and keys in hand he looked about at some of the students and a thought that previously not occurred to him struck. I?m going to be rooming with children?God help me? Handing the paper with the room number on it, and the spare key, to the thrall, he told the man to take his bags there then return the key to the Admin office before he left; With a nod the thrall went off to do what he?d been told.

With that taken care of, he turned his attention to the second bit of paper he?d been handed. During his initial contacts with the school the facilitator he?d been speaking with asked if he would consider also joining a school organization called ?Gungnir?, a rapid reaction force of sorts meant to deal with threats to the school and its students, as well as his normal courses. He?d accepted immediately, as the course load (light as it was) was merely a way to get in. A group like ?Gungnir? would be at the forefront of trying to find the attackers and whatever they were using, and that is where Viktor wanted and needed to be.

Following the provided map, he found the room easily enough. Ducking slightly he stepped through the doorway and smiled to himself when he realized what had happened. Translocation spell on the doorway; that?s a tricky bit of magic to get right. After signing in, he propped himself against a crate; pushing his hood back and taking off his gloves he began to subtlety test the air. Human, nymph, demon, a few that I don?t recognize, and some sort of gear oil?this is a curious lot. Over top of the sound of conversation, heart beats, and the external background noise outside, he could hear the steady ticking of a clockwork device?only this one sounded far more complex than any clock he?d even encountered.

 

[IFS]

"Your free to stay though."

"Nah if you've got work to do I'll get out of your hair," Juliet said, standing up "see you at the meeting tomorrow."

And a number of interesting others I'm sure, I do wonder what sort of students they'll manage to gather together for this. Hopefully some of them know how to have fun. With that she left and prowled the halls for a bit before retiring to her room for the night.

___________________________________________________________________________

"Will all Gungnir candidates please make your way to your appointed meeting site"

Juliet yawned and finished dressing herself, the first meeting was important after all it was where she'd make a first impression on the others. Making sure in the mirror that her ensemble hugged her curves perfectly, and showed just enough skin to be enticing between her alarmingly short skirt and low cut top she finished her preparations and left her room heading to the meeting. She didn't doubt that she'd be the sexiest looking woman in the place, though of course at this place you never knew, it certainly had more potential in terms of both flavors and competition than most settings.

She wasn't terribly surprised to encounter the transportation spell leading her to the meeting, after all of course they would want to keep it at least somewhat protected. She found a spot to sit that gave her a good view of everyone around her, and them a good view of her, and began examining each fellow member in turn, giving a smile and perhaps a wink to anyone she caught examining her in turn.

An interesting crop, some of them seem to know each other already. Ah there's Sierra and Mirabelle, still leaves plenty of names to remember though. Its too bad this meeting is bound to be all business, aside from maybe some introductions, I'm in the mood for something fun.

 

[Knife-28]

"Morning."

"Morning." Jarrah said, wondering if he had Tomas had already seen eachother this morning, though between classes and the yowie's 'lax' sleeping schedule, it wasn't unlikely that the two had completely missed eachother today.

He was about launch into further conversation with the half dragon when the girl he had met yesterday, Lenah, walked up to the table.

"So, how have you been? I'm a tiny bit tired, there was a party yesterday, and I promised my room-mate that we'd go." She said, after introducing herself to the group.

"If this is you a bit tired, I worry for anyone who had to deal with you when you're fully awake." Jarrah said with a smile. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed more and more people file into the room, including a few familiar faces.

 

[Sithmorack]

Jack

Standing outside of the meeting place and staring at the two ?guards? Jack couldn?t help but scoff. His attitude had only soured further yesterday when he went on his walk. Some of the students were scared, afraid, but Jack would describe them as weak. Others were ignorant of current events, although they were few in number. Some were boastful and prideful declaring they?d beat anyone who dared to attack the school again. All were idiots. Way too close to resembling humans.
The officers marked him down on the list as he walked past them.

He grunted in mild surprise as he saw that the inside did not look like what he was expecting. He instantly spotted the mountain of a man in the room chatting someone up. Jack walked in and reached out with his senses. The creeper in back was strong and had at least some magic about him. Though Jack suspected that he couldn?t sense everything magic wise about the man. Jack chalked him off as dangerous and scanned the room more as he moved forward. Mirabelle again, still as strange an aura as ever, and the loud mouthed girl that was her friend. Jack then spotted the loner that had a magic aura about him. Then the ?enticing? figure seated where everyone could see her. Main threat from her would be the seduction level she posed. Though having no gender solved that for Jack.

Jack yawned as he approached Jarrah and the girl he was talking to but veered away from them and took a seat close to the duo. In all honesty he didn?t really need to yawn but it made him ?fit in? as some would say. He didn?t speak to anyone and his foul mood caused some of the shadows near him to almost look like they were whipping around in anger.

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Kind of a sad turn out give how long the list was" A well dressed man in a 'tailed' black three piece suit, though noticeably missing the tie commented from behind a partition, he looked to be mid early 20s and fairly attractive, but his slitted gold eyes and short dark green hair suggested he wasn't human. "Actually, it's better then expected." another, older equally well dressed man said, he had a similar suit, though his lacked the tails and was a dark blue, replied. "All told, ninety volunteered them selves, with more likely come once our little experiment has proven it self."

"If there is nothing else, Sir Broun, I have my duty's to return to" Wraith said when a pause in the conversation present it self, and wordlessly dismissed with a simple nod. "What of you two?" 'Sir Broun' asked Donovan and Aki, whom where also there. "I'd love to, but Mjölnir is still in pretty sorry shape, so as much as I'd love to join you in hunting down the asshole who killed out friends and comrades, I can't just leave and leave them in worse shape then they already are." Donovan replied, with Aki nodding in agreement. 'Sir Broun' nodded "Shame, but it's understandable." Donovan and Aki saluted and left. Broun and spoke in privet for a few more minutes before one of the Gungnir officers approached to tell them it was time.

Broun and the green haired man headed out to greet the candidates, though the green haird man put the hat he'd been holding, a fedora that matched his suit, back on before standing to the back, though still easily visable with his hands in his pants pockets, just watching the crowd. Broun, first got the attention of the crowd then introduced him self as Gaius Von Broun and begun explaining to them what Gungnir would be doing in greater detail then the recruiters had, though given the targets mentioned by said recruiters none of what was said was terribly surprising, as well as the scale. It was just the city or the prefecture they where going to be deployed to, but all over Japan for now, with the promise of beyond once other branches in other country's where established. One brave soul worked up the nerve to ask why such drastic steps where needed, Gaius explained that the attack on Gato wasn't the only one, two other such attacks where carried out on the super natural community and that most the ancients that held power in those area's both knew of a potential threat, and choose to do nothing about it. That, understandably pissed a lot of people in the room off.

Gaius's speech continued a bit longer, explaining in general what steps would be next and what would be expected of them. He concluded his speech by turning the floor over to anther officer, who said they would begin breaking the group in to small teams, or 'Lances' as Gaius called them earlier. As Gaius left, the man in the Black suit could be said turning and saying something to him, notably, with a grin on his face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra

The speech started and Sierra paid attention. little that was said surprised her, though the scope was a lot bigger then she'd figured it would be, not to mention the news that the attack on the school could have been prevented, or at least lessen but wasn't due to indifference, really pissed her off. so much so she didn't even notice who else was in attendance, though the news of this indifference didn't surprise her. She'd heard something to the effect of 'stop causing problems' a few times back home after a few assassination attempts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Names where called and team formed, and said teams where directed to where they where to meet their handlers. The group Sierra, Mirabelle, Jack, Tomas, Juliet, Lenah, William, Jarrah and Viktor where assigned to where show to where they would meet their handler. The room they where show to was much smaller, and had a 'student counsel' vibe to it. After about a minute their handler entered, black tailed suit, white shirt, no tie, fedora, and now the they where closer, permanent smirk on his face. "Well, well, aren't we a nice and diverse group, well then, lets start with the introductions. I am Seth. I will be your handler, for both mission as well as training." he said, with a causal tone, though the vibe he gave off was far more dangerious.

 

[Outcast107]

Tomas

Tomas listen to the speech that was given to everyone here. Little did surprise him but news that someone could have prevented this irk him terribly. Which raise a lot of questions in his head. 'Why didn't they stop this if they had the power to do so...could it be that they just don't care no more? or could it be something much worst then that..' Tomas thought to himself.

Though once the speech was over and his name was called, Tomas left with the few others to the room to meet the handler. Looking at the others students within his group, Tomas could see that most were people he already knew, besides a few here and there. As they entered the room, their handler walk out infront of them and introduced himself. As Tomas looked at the handler up close he had one thought. He would have to be careful with this person. The vibe he was getting from this guy was worst then those cultist he fought.

Walking up in front of the others as he introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Tomas. I'm a half-dragon, half-human. I hope we can all work together and bring these scum to justice for what they have done." Looking at them all before going back into the group to let someone else introduce themselves.

William

William notice how many students were here and was worried about doing something stupid in front of them all. Wondering why he was chosen after so many already here. He really didn't feel like anything special compare to all of the other students. He is hardly a student to begin with! Though he trust in his mentor's words and would follow them to death.

His dread lightly disappeared when all eyes were upfront, listening to the speech. When hearing the news about some of the Ancients powers that could have stop it didn't, he was confused. Why didn't they put a stop to this? His thoughts turn to his mentor. Wondering if he wasn't retired at all, would he have put a stop to all this senseless slaughter.

The speech finished up quickly and names were called out, which William slowly gotten up and headed down towards his when his name was called. Looking at the others as they seem really different form each other. Keeping to himself as he try to stay in the way back and not be noticed. They all entered the room and waited for their handler to come out. While William chose to stay in the way back, he could hardly see over the others who sort of towered over him. He didn't see the handler per say, but he did hear him as he introduce himself to the group.

Hearing a student called himself Tomas and that he was a half dragon. William wonder which one it was as he move around to get a look. Figuring that it would be best to see his new teammates. Getting a look at Tomas right before he step back into the group. Swallowing as William step forward. Wanting to get his introduction out of the way as soon as possible.

'h-hello..my name is..w-william..My powers are..." mumbles at first but then speaks up "I can transform into a weapon. For e-example, my hands and feet into swords" He does a quick demonstration with his hands before changing them back. Looking at the ground as he steps back mumbling something incoherent.

[Athol]

While Broun spoke, Vik only half listened, instead watching the crowd, looking for potential weak links?those that might now be realizing they were in over their heads. As Broun wrapped it up, he was certain he?d spotted a couple?the slight ?tang? of fear in the air was another sign. He joined the crowed in their discontent at the admission that several different ?Elders? had known of the impending attacks and did nothing. Betrayal by apathy was almost worse than a deliberate act. Steadying his nerves, he cleared his mind in time to hear his name being called; fortunately none of the weak links he?d spotted where in his group.

"Well, well, aren't we a nice and diverse group, well then, let?s start with the introductions. I am Seth. I will be your handler, for both mission as well as training."

It took Viktor a lot of self-control not to react when Seth walked into the room. They?d crossed paths a few years back, and the ?man? knew all about the background Viktor had kept from the school. Seven Hells?why the fuck are they even dealing with him? Realizing there was nothing to be done about that at the moment, he decided to see how things went.

"Hello, my name is Tomas. I'm a half-dragon, half-human. I hope we can all work together and bring these scum to justice for what they have done."

It was nice to be able to put a face to a scent, though confirmation that he was a dragon-half was a bit troubling; any the ones Viktor had met prior had egos the size of small moons. ?? The next to speak was a ?weak link? that he?d managed to miss. While the kid?s abilities looked useful, he was so twitchy he was almost afraid of his own shadow. Fantastic?

Seeing as nobody else was making a move he figured he?d get it out of the way. Stepping to the front he shot Seth a quick smile, one predator to another. ?I am Viktor Zhuk.? He said, his deep basso voice cut with a noticeable ?Eastern European? accent. ?Vampire.? Introduction out of the way, he returned to where he?d been sitting.

"If this is you a bit tired, I worry for anyone who had to deal with you when you're fully awake."

"So do I," she replied, jokingly, fixing her hair as she did. It wasn't horrible, but she had been running, and even her hair couldn't always stay perfect. "So do I."

As more people entered, she looked to each of them, wondering who they were and why they were there. Eventually, they got sorted into groups, and she found that she was not only in the same group as Jarrah and his friend, but also some rather interesting people.

Some of these look like quite capable fighters.

The rest... well, she doubted that she looked like she could put up a fight, so she wasn't going to judge.

"Well, well, aren't we a nice and diverse group, well then, lets start with the introductions. I am Seth. I will be your handler, for both mission as well as training."

How fun.

She thought, honestly thinking that it would be fun to have people introduce themselves.

It's as if we're back in high school.

"Hello, my name is Tomas. I'm a half-dragon, half-human. I hope we can all work together and bring these scum to justice for what they have done."

Hello Tomas.

Lenah thought, people would probably not appreciate it if she greeted them like that. It wasn't exactly an AA meeting, after all. Still, she had never met a half dragon, so it would be fun to see what he could do. After him, a rather shy fellow went up, clearly not used to an audience.

"h-hello..my name is..w-william..My powers are... I can transform into a weapon. For e-example, my hands and feet into swords"

Ooh, neat.

While she didn't think a demonstration had been completely necessary, she still had to admit that it was impressive. The only kind of weapon she could conjure up was her spear, after all, unless you counted weaponized trees.

"I am Viktor Zhuk. Vampire."

Wonder where they found him.

Lenah mused, a playful smile on her face. He didn't particularly look like a student, perhaps it was the vampire thing that did it, or perhaps it was the fact that he had an eye-patch, as well as quite the scar.

So scary~.

Noticing that it was a chance for her to stand up, Lenah did, the bright, playful tone of hers matching her expression.

"Hi, my name is Lenah Spring, I'm a Nymph. I have the ability to make any kind of plant, flower or tree grow at a rapid pace. Believe me, it's a lot cooler than it sounds. Oh, and I can also purify water so that it vanquishes worry and exhaustion, hit me up if you need a pick-me-up!" She winked, charmingly, before chuckling at the unintended wordplay.

"Cheesy wordplays aside, it's nice to meet you guys, I hope we get the chance to deal out some real damage to those who try to harm Gato. If nothing else, it'll be fun." After speaking, she went back to her seat, eager to see who would introduce themselves next.

 

[IFS]

Juliet barely listened to the speeches that were being given, she was more focused on sizing up the people that had arrived. It was certainly a larger turn out than she'd expected. Not enough for a proper army, too many for a special response force, they'll be splitting us up into smaller units. Let's just hope I get the same one as Karis's vessel. Sure enough they were soon divided up, and quite fortunately she was assigned to the same squad as Sierra. Juliet's smirk was pretty much wiped from her face when the group's handler arrived however.

"Well, well, aren't we a nice and diverse group, well then, lets start with the introductions. I am Seth. I will be your handler, for both mission as well as training."

By the Demon King's left testicle! Unholy shit that's Seth! What is he doing here? Could he be after Karis as well, or... shit shit shit are his objectives the same as mine? Ok ok calm down, this is another opportunity albeit an extremely dangerous one. Val Ruk will want to hear about this immediately. It took a superhuman effort to keep her expression calm, though fortunately she wasn't human. Still she had basically missed the first few introductions with how concentrated she had been on Seth, though some part of her had managed to collect the names and what the people were. Vampire, half-dragon, knife-hands.

"Hi, my name is Lenah Spring, I'm a Nymph. I have the ability to make any kind of plant, flower or tree grow at a rapid pace. Believe me, it's a lot cooler than it sounds. Oh, and I can also purify water so that it vanquishes worry and exhaustion, hit me up if you need a pick-me-up!"

I might have to take you up on that sometime, she thought, managing to return her mind to a somewhat less frenzied state. Nymph huh, very nice, might provide some competition even. Or if I'm very lucky some cooperation, heh. The half dragon also looked intriguing, though he sounded like a stick in the mud. The shy kid, William, seemed like he could be entertaining though. Kid'll probably wet himself if I approach him. The vampire meanwhile seemed out of place among the others, big and stout, it was hard to read much from his expression.

"Cheesy wordplays aside, it's nice to meet you guys, I hope we get the chance to deal out some real damage to those who try to harm Gato. If nothing else, it'll be fun."

"Oh yes it will," Juliet muttered to herself.

Guess it's my turn then, well Sierra and Mirabelle are in this group so no point in hiding what I am. Sierra was the main one I wanted to hide it from anyways, though its certainly lucky for my mission that I'm in the same squad as her. Smiling Juliet stood up to introduce herself.

"I'm Juliet Lilin,"she said, and then seemed to steel herself as if she was expecting trouble for what came next "I'm a succubus, a sex demon. Don't worry I'm reformed, mostly. I'm here to protect the school just like the rest of you."

She smiled again, radiating confidence once more "Now that that's out of the way I hope we can all be very good friends," she said, sitting back down.

Hopefully that little performance keeps them convinced that I'm ashamed to be a demon, people may hate our kind but they're often suckers for sob stories and reformations. This one's both, and it has certainly helped in the past.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra sighed when Seth walked in, his presence was irksome due to even in her first short meeting with him he didn't feel that trustworthy, but the situation was what it was.

Soon enough though introductions started, Tomas the half breed Dragon, William, the awkwardly shy kid with the admittedly cool powers, Viktor Zhuk the Eastern European Vampire, Lenah, the rather cheerful Nymph. Sierra ended-up wondering if all Nymphs where like that or if Lenah was just 'hyper', then Juliet, who seemed oddly skiddish about telling people she was a demon, though given the general attitude toward demon kind it was understandable.

Seth was right, it was a rather diverse group, so at the very least it wouldn't be boring.

"Sierra Talon" she started as she 'ejected' her glamor, which look a lot like glass shattering around, though the shards harmlessly vanished as the hit the ground or in the odd case some one. her 'true self' now out in the open, "Half Demon of an Unknown type" she said with arms crossed and with a general air of 'don't like it, get over it' about her.

 

[Knife-28]

"So do I," Lenah replied, "So do I."

Jarrah gave a short laugh, and was about to reply when a man, who introduced himself as Gaius Von Broun, started explaining Gungnir and the assembled students roll in the organization. While the bombshell that the 'ancients' had chosen not to warn the school of any danger understandably angered many in the room, it left Jarrah more confused then anything else. While the students were being split into 'lances', Jarrah lamented the fact that every new piece of information he found out about the supernatural community at large left the impression that there was something deeply wrong with their system. While Yowies lived a solitary lifestyle, with family groups being the only real outlier, there was still a sense of 'community'. Yowies would watch each others backs, even if they never even met face to face.


When he was assigned to a 'lance', Jarrah was surprised by the amount of familiar faces he saw. Tomas and Jack were both here, as was Mirabelle and one of her friends who he recognised from the incident at the karaoke bar. Aside from Lenah however, the rest of the group was a mystery. That didn't remain the case for long, as their 'handler' Seth, kicked off the introductions.

'h-hello..my name is..w-william..My powers are... I can transform into a weapon. For e-example, my hands and feet into swords"

The first bloke (aside from Tomas) to introduce himself looked so nervous that Jarrah wondered why he'd been approached to join Gungnir in the first place, though the Yowie decided to cut him some slack. After all introducing yourself to a group as diverse as this couldn't have been easy, and he did have a pretty interesting power, all in all.

"I am Viktor Zhuk. Vampire."

Despite calling himself a vampire, Viktor looked less like the type to suck your blood and more the type to leave you a twitching pile of broken limbs laying in it. The eyepatch wearing European looked like he could even give Jarrah a run for his money, and the Australian was thankful that they were on the same side.

"Hi, my name is Lenah Spring, I'm a Nymph. I have the ability to make any kind of plant, flower or tree grow at a rapid pace. Believe me, it's a lot cooler than it sounds. Oh, and I can also purify water so that it vanquishes worry and exhaustion, hit me up if you need a pick-me-up!"

That would explain the hyperactivity, if nothing else. Still, it was nice to know what Lenah really was and Jarrah was glad to have her on the team, even if he didn't see how her power was useful in a straight up fight.

"I'm Juliet Lilin. I'm a succubus, a sex demon. Don't worry I'm reformed, mostly. I'm here to protect the school just like the rest of you. Now that that's out of the way I hope we can all be very good friends."

"Sierra Talon. Half Demon of an Unknown type."

Two demons. That was bound to end well. Jarrah couldn't fault Gato trying to fight fire with fire though. Figuring he was overdue on an introduction, Jarrah cleared his throat and stood up.

"G'day. I'm Jarrah Walker, and if the accent doesn't give it away, I come from a land down under." He started, smiling at his joke, "I'm a Yowie. It would be easier to show you all rather than explain, but I only have one of these uniforms, so..." Jarrah paused, thinking of the best way to explain his species. "Think big, red Yeti, I guess."

 

[figment of mind]

"Well, well, aren't we a nice and diverse group, well then, lets start with the introductions. I am Seth. I will be your handler, for both mission as well as training."

'Wait, what? Isn't something supposed to be before this? Are we really supposed to just jump into it like this? Mirabelle thought, still trying to mentally digest all of the information that she had learned from the speech. Still, it seemed like everyone else was okay with it so she stayed quiet, not wanting to be the only one to voice such concerns.

"Hello, my name is Tomas. I'm a half-dragon, half-human. I hope we can all work together and bring these scum to justice for what they have done."

'Huh. So that's his name...at least i don't have to ask him for it anymore... Mirabelle thought as Tomas took initiative. She felt a bit bad about not asking him his name before, what due to him helping her and her group, but at least she knew now...plus she figured that he would understand why she didn't, what with the events that had immediately followed.

"h-hello..my name is..w-william..My powers are... I can transform into a weapon. For e-example, my hands and feet into swords"

'Is that what i sounded like when i got here? ...heck, is that what i sound like now? ...well, at least i know i'm not the lone shy person anymore...'

She felt a bit of sympathy towards how he must be feeling, especially considering that she regularly felt like that at time today. Making a mental note to try and get to know him later, hopefully bring him out of his shell a bit, before moving on and listening to the next person.

"I am Viktor Zhuk. Vampire."

'...i guess he doesn't like to talk. Well, at least he poses no threat to me...though i may need to watch out for Sierra...and Jarrah...and Tomas...and Juliet, maybe?'

She felt her mind getting a bit lost in questioning if a vampire could ingest demon blood...before shuffling that thought to the back of her head. She already had a lot to think about, she could take on that question later...besides, she was sure Juliet and Sierra would know if he was a threat or not.

"Hi, my name is Lenah Spring, I'm a Nymph. I have the ability to make any kind of plant, flower or tree grow at a rapid pace. Believe me, it's a lot cooler than it sounds. Oh, and I can also purify water so that it vanquishes worry and exhaustion, hit me up if you need a pick-me-up! Cheesy wordplays aside, it's nice to meet you guys, I hope we get the chance to deal out some real damage to those who try to harm Gato. If nothing else, it'll be fun."

'It's the girl Jarrah was talking to before...huh, she seems...nice, i think. The plant growing ability seems interesting too...i wonder how that would look like on the cellular level...', mira thought as she started to peice together a way to observe that, before shuffling that into the back of her head too, with a mental note to get back too that at some point.

Of course, Juliet, Sierra, and Jarrah explained what they were, but knowing who and what they were, she didn't have any new thoughts on their forms, though she did take notes on a few things regardless, like Sierra's apparent annoyance while showing off her form and Jarrah being from 'down under'. Of course, with them, most of the people in the room had introduced themselves so she figured that it was time for her to speak up.

Standing up, still a bit nervous, she said, "Uh...my name is Mirabelle Chemia-Delgado. I am a Steel Golem and I am studying to become an full fledged Alchemist." After looking around for a second, she sat back down, hoping that she didn't bring too much attention to herself.

 

[Sithmorack]

The news that the ancients hadn?t helped wasn?t surprising to Jack. However it was surprising that they didn?t even send a warning. Either they just didn?t care at all which was likely or they had their own schemes based around what was happening at the attacks. The latter was less likely but he wouldn?t put it past the ancients to use their struggles for their own needs. Jack hadn?t realized how far and large this problem really was. All over Japan and then beyond probably. Multiple attacks like that meant a group was most likely trying to send a message to the ?monster? community.

When the teams were called Jack was slightly grateful, he knew a few of the members on his ?Lance? team. Even if he wasn?t exactly buddy-buddy with Tomas at the moment he knew the kind of ?man? he was. Strong, protecting, guardian type which meant he?d protect his team to the end most likely. Jack didn?t trust Mirabelle or Sierra but then again he had only passingly met them. Plus Jarrah trusted Mirabelle so he?d give her the benefit of the doubt.

Their handler seemed a bit off to Jack. That was the first thing he noticed when he entered the room. Seth was odd and dangerous at the same time, and judging by how the tension in the air was almost thick enough to cut, the others thought that too.

"Hello, my name is Tomas. I'm a half-dragon, half-human. I hope we can all work together and bring these scum to justice for what they have done."

Well, at least he?ll give a good impression, hopefully? Jack thought as he watched Tomas give his introduction. Then Jacked noticed a rather jittery student approach the front and mumble.

'h-hello..my name is..w-william..My powers are..."

Jack had to strain his hearing to be able to understand what the being was saying. Then the boy spoke up and said.

"I can transform into a weapon. For e-example, my hands and feet into swords"

Jack figured he?d probably be more of a support for their team. He wasn?t exactly a heavy hitter like Jarrah so he?d probably end up being used as a weapon. If you don?t shape your own will, others will for you. Jack thought as he watched a rugged looking man step to the front of the class and say.

"I am Viktor Zhuk. Vampire."

A rather brief introduction but at least it would get this meet and greet phase out of the way. He was a vampire so he?d probably be another heavy hitter in the group.

"Hi, my name is Lenah Spring, I'm a Nymph. I have the ability to make any kind of plant, flower or tree grow at a rapid pace. Believe me, it's a lot cooler than it sounds. Oh, and I can also purify water so that it vanquishes worry and exhaustion, hit me up if you need a pick-me-up! Cheesy wordplays aside, it's nice to meet you guys, I hope we get the chance to deal out some real damage to those who try to harm Gato. If nothing else, it'll be fun."

Charismatic, moral based, and a bit naïve would be the words Jack would use to describe Lenah. She also sounded more like she?d be support, maybe even a medic if he had to guess. Though he didn?t doubt if she wanted to she could do some damage. As the Nymph sat down, another went and took her place and said.

"I'm Juliet Lilin. I'm a succubus, a sex demon. Don't worry I'm reformed, mostly. I'm here to protect the school just like the rest of you. Now that that's out of the way I hope we can all be very good friends,"

Jack didn?t miss the mostly reformed part but he didn?t think too much of it. It seemed like her personality to be playful. Demons were always dangerous either strength wise or cunning. It looked like Juliet was leaning more towards the cunning side but he?d reserve judgment on that later.

"Sierra Talon. Half Demon of an Unknown type."

Unknown was dangerous and being that confident could make you dislike some people. Some people like Jack for instance. He?d have to take note to at least try to be ?nice? around her. Jarrah gave his introduction but Jack didn?t pay too much attention to it. He already knew the Yowie was strong and for the most part dependable. Jack watched with interest as the ?mystery? as he?d come to call her stood up and said.

"Uh...my name is Mirabelle Chemia-Delgado. I am a Steel Golem and I am studying to become an full fledged Alchemist."

Jack?s mind processed this information quickly and realized why he couldn?t comprehend exactly what the ?aura? around her was. She was not technically alive. Though she can think and move because of an internal power source that was giving off energy. Jack felt that annoying itch to know what she was slowly drift away and a sense of satisfaction take its place as the golem sat back down.

Looks like it?s my turn. Jack thought as he moved up towards the front and said. ?I?m Jack.? He said in a monotone voice. ?I?m a shadow being or person or whatever titles everyone else decides to come up with.? With that finished he moved back towards the back and waited for the next part of this meeting.
