Tormenk Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Gaf's Room	@Keroko: Awesome image there. =3 @ Tk: Tasty bluecheese there. Certainly great work detailing and setting down rules for a magic system. New age ninjas are great as well, certainly more lively profiles than the ones I'm going to introduce now. Next two of the expanded Jack profiles, featuring Jas and Jec. Spoiler for Jack of Clubs: Name: Jas Ellen Nickname: Jack of Clubs Gender: Female Home World: unknown Birth date: unknown Age: 23 as of MC 075 Relatives: estranged Eye color: brown Hair color: light purple Height: 168cm Build: slightly above average but well-built Mage Information Affiliations: The Prize Magic Type: Mid Magic Color: Orange Mage Rank: AA Combat style: fire support and suppression Element Affiliation: none Appearance: Image basis is Revy from Black Lagoon. Younger with a wearier and more rugged appearance. Background/History A drunkard father and an uncaring mother made Jas’s childhood a terrible shamble. Marked as a delinquent and scarred by her parents deteriorating relationship, Jas suffered at the hands of her abusive parents throughout her childhood. After having had a gun pointed in her direction for trying to stop her mother from leaving the house, Jas took off soon after as well. Recruited into the Prize about a year after, her path was the toughest out of the Jacks. Suffering from the setbacks of multiple failures and looked down upon by others before and now, Jas managed to suck it up and pushed harder henceforth. Learning from her mistakes and putting every ounce of her waking energy to sharpen herself, her skills as a marksman eventually trump over other competitors. Jat’s natural efficiency at claiming her kills gave her the recognition she sought and was one of the first to be considered as part of the Jacks from many other candidates. Personality/Behavior Jas is a loud and outspoken personality whose foul mouth is only overtaken by her fouler temper, though most of the times she manages to rein herself in before short-circuiting herself from anger. Also an independent individual, she hates to rely or own favors to others but makes sure that any debt to her is returned quickly in her choosing. Jas respects Jac for holding the team together for so long and taking the ire of the higher-ups whenever the team screws up and tries not to give him any trouble beyond what she can manage reasonably well. Her relations with the other members of the team are rather even, though her temper does flare up occasionally. She has a love-hate relationship with Jag since he’s always pestering her whenever he’s bored and this irritates her to no end every time. Her temper explodes whenever Jag goes off to do his own thing, which often results in her being busy covering his defenseless rear, in addition from her duties in combat. This often earns the latter a swing from her device into his face. Actually that happens every other day with the two of them. Jas didn’t like Jec on first sight, regarding her as young and unsuitable, aggravated by the fact the younger girl was on equal standing with her. That fortunately changed over time with the two being partners and forced to look out for each other. In time the young woman came to regard Jec as the sister she never had and takes care of Jec whenever she can, in part not wanting the young girl to suffer the pain of negligence as she had. Jas tries her best to share Jec’s problems as well but has no one to turn to for her own problems and hence has a lot of built-up frustration and anger. As a result, Jas frequently turns to alcohol and other vices to escape from her problems, some of them inflicted from young and others stemming from her lack of confidence. On the rare occasion she is able to forget about her problems though, Jat’s hyperactive manner is strong enough to affect everyone else, even indulging in some pretty crazy acts. Jag puts it best as he puts it “When that girl’s happy, no one is happier than she is.” Jag so far has only bore witness to this twice in their years of partnership. On the other hand, Jas’s fury is truly one to behold when unleashed, magically speaking an S class bombardment spell with fire properties. As her most frequent agitator, Jag has often been on the receiving end of ‘SLC’ mode. The most memorable, and deadly display of SLC mode, came when Jag ate a week’s worth of Jas’s secret stash , painstakingly gathered from off-world missions. Needless to say, SLC mode Jas laid waste to their waiting area in short order and very nearly put a bullet through Jag’s thick skull. The offender was only saved by the advent of their night mission. Jas’s kills on that particular mission ran high, even beating out Jag’s by a wide margin in the end. Jag had appropriately termed it 'She Lost Control' mode after that day. Barrier Jacket With the need to maintain a low profile, her jacket is completely decked out in black while loose enough to go running. Sleeveless jacket and undershirt, completed by pants, running boots and a pair of shades. Technically, the sunglasses are an extension of Vayeate that provides her with vital targeting and environmental information. Fighting Style Before becoming part of the Jacks, Jas often carried out the role of a sniper in missions and engagements. Taking down targets undetected and settling objectives in the shortest time possible is her forte. That has not changed after her addition into the Jacks, though she is responsible for fire support and suppression now as well. Though capable of flight, Jas is much more comfortable on the ground where she has plenty of cover to take her shots from rather than duke it out in the air where she is much more exposed. It is also fairly awkward for someone of her style of fighting and device limitations to engage in aerial combat where the accuracy of her shots will inevitably suffer. Arising from a combined need out of both necessity and adaptability, Jas has the widest array of spells in the team, focusing on range and accuracy to get the job done. Shooting-class spells are the bread and butter of her arsenal, and to cover each situation best as possible. Due to her style of combat, Jas is the one most reliant on cartridges and her magical stamina for combat durability in the team. She’s a bona fide cartridge spammer and may carry a light backpack filled with additional cartridges and other equipment as necessary. Device Name: Vayeate Device Type: Storage Device Device modes: Rifle Frame, Assault Frame, Short Sword Frame Vayeate is Jas’s primary device, from which she performs the majority of her shooting spell. Rifle frame is the device’s setup mode and the most commonly used by Jas, most of the spells used in this form put a emphasis on range and accuracy while Assault frame is more suitable for short to mid range shooting, with properties such as better rate of fire and power. A short sword mode was included out of considerations for the need of melee combat should the need arise. The device’s two shooting modes somewhat resemble weapons such as the sniper rifle and assault rifle found on N.A. World 97. Given that the device was modified off the standard device models used by most Prize ground troopers, it is unknown how the similarity is accounted for. Secondary device: Snipe Device Type: Storage Device Device appearance: Pistol Frame and Twin Frame Snipe is Jas’s backup pistol device in the event she is disarmed of or Vayeate runs out of cartridges, although it’s not uncommon to see Jas use both Sword Form and Snipe in close combat at the same time. The device only employs an additional twin form. With stopping power and ease of operation in mind, Snipe uses cartridges of the same caliber as Vayeate. Spoiler for spell list: Offensive spells: Rifle Frame Barrel Shot Vayeate’s default shooting spell, similar to those employed by other mages favoring shooting spells. Power is directly variable to range and coverage. Power: C~A Speed: A Range: A~C Accuracy: B~D Barrel Shot: F An explosive, homing magic bullet that locks on and pursues the designated magical signature, leaving the caster free to perform other actions. Power: A Speed: B Range: A Accuracy: A+ AoE Barrel Shot: V Coats bullets from Barrel Shot with several layers of magic barrier to penetrate magical fields. Power: C~A Speed: B Range: A~C Accuracy: B~D Suppression Shot Area suppression spell. An excellent AoE makes up for the relatively low-powered spell that requires two cartridges to fire off. Power: B Speed: AA Range: AA Accuracy: A AoE: S Head Shot Jas’s most frequently used spells the name of the spell itself leaves little to imagination what the intended purpose is for. A extremely thin and fast moving beam aimed to take out the opposition in the shortest time possible. It is possible to load an extra four cartridges to penetrate defenses up to AAA strength easily. Power: A Speed: S Range: S Accuracy: AAA Precision Shot High-end precision sniper shot that launches an incredibly fast and powerful projectile. Power: AA Speed: AA+ Range: AAA Accuracy: S+ Binding Shot A long distance shooting spell with a binding spell as the payload. Power: A Speed: AA Range: AAA Accuracy: AAA Assault Frame Scatter Shot Close quarter spell that delivers a cluster of magical projectiles. An extra expenditure of one cartridge extends the reach of the spell making it suitable to shoot down incoming projectiles. Power: AA Speed: B Range: B~A Accuracy: C Force Bolt A single high-impact magic projectile meant for close range striking power Power: AA Speed: B Range: C Accuracy: B Force Burst Rapid fire version of the above that delivers a continual stream of projectiles for sixty seconds per cartridge. Power: A+ Speed: AA Range: B Accuracy: C+ Phase Stream A low-powered flow of energy that surprisingly packs a great deal of knock-down power. The continual delivery of the beam can keep a person down for extended periods of time. Power: D Speed: AA+ Range: C Accuracy: A+ Crossfire Shoot One of the few spells that does not require her device, Jas conjures up to two dozen small projectiles at a time for close-range area bombardment. Power: AA Speed: AA Range: B Accuracy: A AoE: B Sword Frame Impayr Temporarily disable devices or prevent them from functioning properly. Jas’s version has longer stopping power and requires one cartridge upon contact. Power: A Range: Melee Side Swing A spell that Jas acquired from Jec. A mobile barrier spell in actual effect, it serves to repel opponents away while maintaining an offensive effect. One cartridge expenditure required. Power: B+ Range: half a meter Defensive spells: Round Shield Standard Mid-Childian shield type spell. Power: AA Area: two meters Protection Barrier spell that covers a wide area. Power: A Area: three meters Support Spells: Binding Hold Jas’s version of a simple binding spell that emphasizes speed over strength. Binding power: B Speed: AA Range: B Bind Break Attempts to deactivate a binding or imprisoning spell. The amount of time required to deactivate depends on the complexity of the target magic. Skill: A Snipe Shot Jas controls the movement directions of her projectiles to guide and track her targets. Skill: S AT Shot A beacon payload fired by Vayeate that will attract unguided projectiles toward the target it is adhered to. Also provides limited environmental information by active scanning. Range: AA Speed: S Duration: three minutes Flash Shot A disruption spell that discharges large amounts of light and noise over an area. AoE: S+ Area Scan Scanning spell that searches and identifies the number of magical signatures. Skill: AA Camouflage Hide A field spell that enables Jas to hide her presence from scans and visual detection. Commonly used in urban environments or situations that require her to remain unnoticed. Duration: ten minutes Spoiler for Jack of Diamonds: Name: Jec Nickname: Jack of Diamonds Gender: Female Home World: unknown Birth date: unknown Age: 16 as of MC 075 Relatives: dead, otherwise unknown Eye color: faded purple Hair color: black/light silver-ish Height: 162cm Build: thin and average Mage Information Affiliations: The Prize Magic Type: Neo-Belkan, with heavy Mid influence Magic Color: Violet Mage Rank: Synthetic AAA Combat style: defensive support and control Element Affiliation: none Appearance: Image basis is Yin from Darker Than Black. Slightly older with her hair untied, reaching mid-back in length. Background/History Trained, and raised from young in a Prize training facility, Jec knows nothing about her past. Her family was murdered, by Prize recruiters scouring for potential mage candidates. Being the only one in her household to have the distinction of having a strong linker core, she was spared from death while the parents and two brothers that she never knew, did not. Growing up in a organization one such as the Prize had been brutal for the frail girl but nevertheless Jec endured under the even hand and guidance of Jac, the man who would continued to watch over her growth to the current day. Jec received special treatment from young, due to her remarkable ability in controlling and shaping the energy. Given an intelligent device after her apparent ease in utilizing magic, the distinction was great as the standard operative within the Prize made do with armed or storage devices. Given the rarity and difficulty of constructing a delicate piece of equipment as an ID, it was clear that Jec was strongly favored, even for one such as her. The underlying reason was the huge magical potential Jec carried, and her natural ability to use it effectively. To monitor her growth and condition, the scientists chose the perfect equipment for such a need, an intelligent device. Taught and trained in the skills of being a Prize operative by Jac, the man was also a guardian of sorts to the young girl, having watched her longer than anyone else. The former remains as distanced to Jec as any person who has regular contact with him, however. Fortunately, Jec found a confiding person in Jas after the formation of the Jacks. Ironically, Jec is treated as the ‘younger sister figure’ in the Jacks from being the youngest in the group. Not so much from Jac of course. Concern for her well-being stands strong, as well as all of the related behavior attached. A good example would be the last time Jec got injured badly in the field. The one responsible was identified and hunted down with extreme prejudice by the rest of the team in short order, Jac included. There wasn’t enough of him left to bury afterwards. Personality/Behavior Perceived as a cold and quiet person, the misconception resulted from the lack of contact with other people. Jac wasn’t of much help, in part only looking after her physical welfare and ignoring her mental growth. Luckily Jec is still quite open to people, albeit slow to warm up, and a need to learn tact in her words. Admittedly, Jec does carry a cold mask around most of the time. That being a result of her experiences in the Prize. As for being quiet, if she’s not saying anything, it’s only because she’s thinking hard about the subject posed to her rather than unwilling to response. In reality Jec is strongly curious and naïve , even if a tad cynical in thinking . Making for a rather bad combination of traits, even if fortunate in someway. An untold reason is present of course. Jec took her first life when she was ten, inevitably altering her from then on. Though her spirit dulled, she endured that particular trial. Ingrained from young, Jec is highly obedient to authority, appearing as overly stiff and serious to those who have worked with her. Luckily, this is balanced out by her natural flexibility to work around the given parameters and accommodate her should it work out unfavorably. Of course that does not make her an absolute puppet. She will carry out her duty, and orders to whatever extent is needed to achieve success in a cold manner, Jec has her share of issues with what she does, questioning and debating at length with herself frequently. With regards to her teammates, Jec looks up to Jac as the guardian figure in her life, even if he did ignore aspects of his duty. Jec understands well his reasons and is thankful, if only for his efforts. With Jec being the ‘younger sister’, Jag and Jas acts as her older siblings. Both take the extra effort to shelter her from the reality of a world that she has only begun realizing, the two having experienced well the pains possible. Jag does it the way he knows best, eliminating possible dangers before they become so. Jas handles the internal aspects on the other hand, dispelling doubts and answering any questions Jec might have. The girl’s first memory of the outside world was a nighttime training exercise out in the desert world the facility was based on. Upon reaching the surface, the first thing Jec saw was the massive moon of the planet. Mesmerized by the natural satellite and basically the nighttime environment, she would have continued being utterly absorbed by the experience of her first time to the surface, if not for the more urgent matter at hand. Several hours later had her trudging under the burning sun to reach a far-out designated location, which left her dehydrated to the point of collapse. This pretty much left her in admiration of moons and nighttime while very much detesting daylight. Barrier Jacket A full body black leather-like suit covering from neck to feet and to wrists. The obligatory combat boots of course, and a purple ribbon to secure her hair into a ponytail. The form-fitting jacket attracts unwanted attention from the male population of the Prize, even diverting attention from the more well-endowed Jas, much to her chagrin. The suit has no effect on Jac though both girls have caught Jag with his gaze lingering on Jec in her suit a tad too long sometimes. Fighting Style Taking after her guardian’s trait of odd complements, Jec is a user of the Neo-Belkan system while employing the use of an intelligent device. While proficient in the use of Nighthawk, her first device she used as a weapon, it is now relegated to a secondary purpose after the addition of Mercurius as her main device. Jec hangs back in combat to provide defensive support, leaving the fighting to her much more capable teammates while maximizing the defensive potential of Mercurius to assist her team and impede the opposition. When it comes down to it, Jec is able to hold her own against much stronger fighters and easily subdue the rest, as demonstrated by her sparring sessions against her team and the average Prize trooper. No mean feat considering that she is at best A+ in actual combat rank. Intelligent Device: Mercurius Mercurius is essentially an add-on combat frame to the actual intelligent device Jec uses. The device components materializes as twelve small, disc-shaped storage devices, equally distributed and carried on the sides of Jec’s forearms and waist of her suit. The device core is located on the back of her right hand, an extension from the carrier portion of the discs. Mercurius was designed in mind to complement Jec’s incredible skill in remotely controlling multiple objects at the same time to effective standards and so features the unique usage of twelve storage devices to aid her in spell-casting. The discs are able to operate independently or in groups once active and serve as multi-purpose tools in this state. The discs are fairly fast and quite durable, being able to withstand a good amount of punishment. However anyone with a decent aim or able to catch them in a bombardment/AoE/Buster spell can easily damage or take them out easily. Jec is able to employ her device to great defensive capability, if only because of device limitations hampering her from using Mercurius offensively. Armed Device: Nighthawk With the necessity of being prepared in mind, Jec kept Nighthawk as a secondary device after receiving Mercurius. Equipped with the standard cartridge system slightly below the head, Nighthawk is a short hafted spear with a V-shaped head to dislodge opposing weapons, and an extendable hidden dagger link from behind. Spoiler for spell list: Offensive : Stinger Bolt Mainly used as a distraction, a low-powered mid-range bolt is released from the disc. Power: C Speed: B Range: A Accuracy: B Swarm Rush Employing the discs as projectiles, Jec can rapidly wear down targets by using the discs to physically collide into them under the effect of enhancement magic. Power: B Speed: AA Range: AA Remote Buster Using at least two of her discs, Jec can remotely fire off buster-class spells away from her position. Power depends on the number of discs used. Power: B~AA Speed: B+ Range: A Accuracy: A Crossfire Shoot A spell Jec picked up from Jas, it is often used as a countermeasure to shoot down incoming projectiles. Power: A Speed: AA Range: AA Accuracy: AA Assault Charge Activated together with Sonic Move, Jec dashes forward with Nighthawk in a burst of speed. One cartridge expenditure required. Power: A+ Speed: AA Range: B+ Accuracy: B Side Swing A mobile barrier spell in actual effect, it serves to repel opponents away while maintaining an offensive effect. One cartridge expenditure required. Power: A Range: half a meter Support: Leech Bind Using the discs to latch onto a device or mage, electrical energy is discharged into the target promising temporary incapacitation at the same time. Binding power: B~AAA Speed: A Range: AA Prism Prison A capture type spell that uses four discs to encase an area in the shape of a physical pyramid. Power: AAA Speed: B Range: AA Defense Net A strong defensive spell that uses all twelve of the discs to construct a physical wall of shields. It is also possible to double as a capture type barrier. Power: S Speed: C Range: AA Sonic Move Enables the caster to move in a sudden burst of speed. Skill: AA Bind Break A standard maneuver performed to break binds, process is greatly cut down by the aid of the discs. Skill: AAA Area Scan A spell that serves to pinpoint the exact locations of targets as well as hidden objects by active scanning. Skill: AAA Defensive: Barricade Wall A spell of ingenuity and incredible difficulty, the spell employs at least three discs to create a moving physical wall to repel objects or opponents away. The challenge of maintaining mobile shields and barriers is a testament of Jec’s forte. Power: AAA Speed: S Range: AA Force Shield Barrier type-spell that guards over an area. Can be overlapped with the discs to cover a much larger area. Power: A Range: three meters. Round Shield Materializes a shield type spell with the Belkan signil. The discs are able to create similar versions as well that can be quickly overlapped. Power: AA~AA+ Range: two meters Giant Round Shield Using at least eight of her discs, Jec can create a much larger and stronger version of Round Shield. Power: S Range: seven meters I'll leave the Jacks short and revised write up about the Prize for next time. The effort of revising Katrina's profile still looms though. __________________ "Are you afraid of change? Or are you afraid to change?" "Wheel turns, river flows and life goes on."
