Spoiler ShowName: Ciel Kiyoshi Odine
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Out of a fairy tale. Ciel has a face you expect to see brushed among the paintings of an old fairy-tale book or described through the pages of stories and tales of old lore: Fair, Delicate, Timeless. Her features are drawn gentle in her soft-oval visage with a smooth jaw-line and small perky nose. She has a rather clear and light-creamy complexion that is really, ever interrupted by the healthy rosiness that paints her petite full lips and cheeks when she exercises or in the rare occasions of embarrassment. Her hair falls into a myriad of silky long curls to the middle of her back, hugging her feminine frame and adorning her forehead with rather long side-swept bangs. The shade of her hair is the softest ice blue one could imagine, appearing almost like liquid frost, as if it was carved from ice. She has a wide pair of piercing blue heavily lashed eyes, that seem to invoke intimidation often more than wonder. The truth is, many would agree that Ciel is rather pretty, if it wasn't for the cold and serious expression she wears all the time.
Ciel keeps a very healthy and perfectly toned physique, always training and exercising on a regular fashion to always be in top shape. Although she has started her physical training quite early in her childhood, it is hardly noticeable in her svelte and shapely figure, and if there was any indication to her athleticism and nurtured muscles, it wouldn be her spring and flexible body. Don't be a fool to think it doesn't show though, a careless punch could earn you more than just a simple headache. If it wasn't this time, and this world, one would easily imagine her heading the Greek amazons into a hunt.
Her outfit is sleek and practical as she would have it consisting of a mid-night 3/4 sleeved round neck top and black form-fitting pants along with her black sneakers. The only accessory she has, is a simple silver bracelet around her left wrist in the shape of tiny snowflakes and a black leather glove on her right hand.
Faction: The Empire
Personality:
Shrewd, serene and rather haughty. Through her appearance she is thought beautiful yet the judging eyes never miss the mysteriously colder exterior of her persona. Ciel's attitude is poised, straight forward and honest to the point of harsh truthfulness, appearing to almost lack in any compassion and empathy. She doesn't hesitate in saying what's on her mind and acts upon her own philosophy and beliefs all the time even if it strikes the people around her as peculiar and strange. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a sense of morality and good manners. She would never betray her morals or act out of line to those she truly respects. She is not quick to lose her calm and patience so easily, and prefers to speak calmly and politely even when needing to be strict. Although these characteristics had led people in believing that she is a rather cold and uncaring individual, they have never been more wrongful for they truly miss the signs of her real personality beneath this layer of frost.
An extreme sense of loyalty and strength of will are deemed as her greatest qualities. She never gives up nor does she ever back out easily especially when a friend is involved. She'd always put her friends above her needs, despite most of her actions that would otherwise imply her negligence of such bonds. Contradictory to popular belief, she is perfectly capable of smiling and laughter, and even sparing kind words to complete strangers, much to everyone's confusion. The extent of such paradoxical actions leaves people to wonder about what she truly hides behind this mask of ice.
Weapon:
- Mabataki Akari - Flickering Light: a long rapier with a slender, sharply pointed blade. Said blade is approximately 110 cm in length, made up of a durable and sleek-looking alloy. The smooth and silvery luster of its metallic surface shows the care and tending Ciel has been giving to it over the years since it was a gift from her uncle. Inscribed upon the very bottom of the blade are the words he sought suitable to give her "Reveal thy light, and I shall dance in its Radiance". The hilt is a light bluish-silver in color having a sweeping design of many intricately and beautifully entwined snow-flakes that spiral once around the black handle attaching to the very end of the Rapier where the round blue crystal rests acting as the pommel.
Originally very light in weight, the rapier after all is a weapon made for speed and sharpened slashes rather than power, but since then it has been modified and enhanced to withstand the extreme heat of Ciel's power and also to give it a strong channeling effect that couples well with her attacks. Thanks to her Cousin's abilities, her rapier was allowed to be enhanced in strength and cutting power to a point where its likes didn't without losing the lightness a weapon of such sort should have.
Spoiler ShowAbilities:
Light Manipulator: Ciel is capable of manipulating Light. She can do this by actively controlling the photons that emit it and simulating their properties into other particles, enabling her a rather wide array of abilities stemming from this process. She can redirect it, bend it, Focus or scatter it, absorb it within herself and even generate it. By absorbing Photons and light particles, Ciel can to an extent generate her very own light and use it depending on the amount she has stored. Her advantage and power are greatly increased in lighted areas where she can use any other source of light in her immediate area as a fuel for her defense or attacks.
She can also use it to amplify her physical attacks increasing the damage done to her opponents or, even cause them severe burns. She can shift and shape them into projectiles or weaponry or any other construct, and control a number of them at once for her bidding. This comes in as a very handy and deceptive attack, able to work in silence and without the target's immediate awareness, at which point Ciel might target vital spots greatly weakening her opponent, or even successfully end their lives. By bending the light about herself, she can achieve invisibility, or change the appearance of items or herself into another through manipulating the spectrum of light or dabbling with their coloring. This also extends to casting illusions projected out of light that might mislead her targets, or relay information to allies when she is elsewhere. However, they are not fit for combat situations and can be so easily dispersed by simple touch.
By focusing and intensifying Light energy, Ciel can exude and shoot out immensely intense and heated beams of light that can pierce and melt through almost anything, even reflective surfaces. At their finest point, they can incinerate whatever they come in touch with rendering it a great ability that Ciel would use as a shielding force or a handy attack to deal with large numbers. By exerting enough focus and stimulating the emission of Photons, Ciel can also create lasers and add them to her arsenal of already formidable attacks.
Swordsmanship Proficiency: Since her childhood, Ciel received a strict and dedicated training in swordsmanship as per her choice. This cultivated in her along the years a great sense of well-timed reflexes and a natural aptitude for the ways of the sword. The result was an exceptional capability in wielding bladed weapons, allowing her to operate with precision and skill in delivering her strikes and thrusts. She regards it with a great sense of respect, and sees it as an art more than a way to kill, the reason why she exercises it with a lot of passion and proficiency. This nurtured in her a strong self-discipline and patience to rival a master of such art.

❄ On a number of different occasions, a strange figure seems to appear to Ciel out of nowhere and speaks with her, though it is unclear if she is the only person capable of seeing this figure or not.
Can't go anywhere without your partner.
Spoiler ShowName: Salforge
Age: 20-something
Gender: Male
Race: Steel Heart/Human?
Appearance:
A none too ridiculous height of about six feet solid. With a kind of physique and poise that compliments his slim yet tone figure. A skin pigment that resembles a tanned beige, if not darkened slightly more. Limbs are of adequate sword length as does apply for his legs as well. Midsection is slim but built to say he does work out. His mane is black and flowing to spiked tips that fall just past his shoulders. From the front his hair is parted by five bangs, three to the left, two to the right, the ends tipped with an orange highlight. A single strand drifts somewhere in between, and directly in front of his left eye cutting off just a little past his nose. His eyes are two pools, both orange, though at times the left sees the past and the pupil vanishes.
He wears skinny white shirt, sleeveless. Atop a light black jacket of jean material, the right sleeve is cut off at the shoulder, only on that side. On his exposed right arm is a black arm warmer that runs from the wrist to just past the elbow. Both hands are accompanied by fingerless black gloves, and a golden bracelet on each hand.
His bottoms are more or less the same, a sleek pair of cargo blacks. Pockets found on the back and side, with two additional pockets font below his knees on the sides.
Personality: Astute, poised, and sometimes by his appearance he is deemed aloof. Among the researchers he was one of the more kind, as well as perplexed as to the extensions of how far they'd go. Though hesitation is a minimal for him, he genuinely goes of his first instinct for things.
The man is very cool and collected just about all the time. Since loosing his heart and replacing it with his kakugane, now his life line he finds himself to the point where he is just unbelievably curious. Seeming to become spaced out here and there, but not something being frequently revisited by him. His demeanor is chill, stiff, and very all around mellow. He approaches a subject be it rough or gentle at a meager pace always adding something of an incite albeit plausible and a genuinely good idea.
Weapon: Kakugane CI (101)
Dark Malice Crescent - The standard and base most form of his kakugane stemming from its portable shape. It appears like this, a hand held sword that steeps past the back. The sword is about body length, and the weight of an average broadsword. It's curved and hooked with a short C at the very end of the blade. It's abilities embedded having the innate power to ripple and rupture the energy that resonates around a body of it. It has the second key to take it, break it down, and absorb it into the steel itself. Due to Salforge's inability to use magic, he generally relies on Dark Malice Crescent to act as a conduit for whatever it's memorized, which is passed to its Busou Renkin state.
Busou Renkin!
Salvation - Salvation takes the shape of a much slimmer blade that twist with a translucent essence that portrays its namesake. Its black, about the slight extension of one's arm, and has a red layer around the tipped edges of each side. Salvation has the innate ability to augment and shift gravitational forces respectively. This can be applied to both himself and objects that enter the field he can create. It stems a tad further and gives him the ability to possess flight, and gravitation. It responds also as a beacon to those in any form of strife or discord, increasing the effective cutting power. [This has only ever been used but one time. Against Clement.]
Powers:
Dusklanzer~
Salforge was once a keyblader before the accident which resulted in him becoming a steel heart. He no longer posses the ability to summon a keyblade, therefore stripping him of both rank, title, and actual ability, but he didn't loose access to the weapon itself being summoned in fragments. Effectively its given him a passive abjuration, and can project digitized shells to form barriers about and around himself, even within himself as well. This greatly induces the durability of his body, able to withstand massive amounts of damage.
Upon being struck, a ping is heard as the shells are lined in place, and crack his skin rupturing his invisible defense making it visible after being struck. Some maneuvers he's pulled formulations, duplications, substitutions, and using the sealing and unlocking abilities on doors; which double as a digitizing method of traveling through space in lack of a gummi ship or corridor of darkness. However, Salforge has an inability to use magic spells given he has no 'heart's essence' to formulate and push to form spells of malign intent. It has also been noted that Salforge has no attacking ability outside of using his heart of steel, namely his Kakugane CI (101).
Steel Heart~
A human possessing no physical heart, no draw to magic, relying only upon their wits and arms alchemy forged from the kakugane. The physics of the user's body drastically change. Without a heart, they resonate and give off absolutely no heat, effectively making them cold-blooded. Their bodies don't require sustenance to maintain, yet its not uncommon to eat now and again as a leisure as opposed to necessity. The body is able to quiet itself, stripping its movements of a great number of sounds making steel hearts insanely stealthy. The user is also enabled to adjust the density and weight of their own body, simply as a defense mechanism when left to the mercy of gravity, it ensures soft landings and if they're captured, that equipment is necessary to move their heavy forms. Each bares red eyes, as a roman numeral scratched on the left eye for those marked. Lastly, emotionless and they exude complete rational thought, with the ability to act, determine, and move without hesitation or signs of faltering.
However, much like human beings, as a steel heart Salforge is susceptible to bleeding, his body type is analogous to that of a reptile without the same necessities.
Haste~
Taken from Dark Malice Crescent's energy absorbing traits, from slicing at a particularly fast opponent it inherited that said person's speed magic. The power, namely magic to hasten one's own movements making them harder to track. Salforge has easily taken advantage of this, and greatly boosted his body's physical speed. In combination without making noise when he attacks, he quickly impales an opponent with his fist or the blunt side of his sword.
Armor: Hitsun&Ramierun, a pair of gold bracelets that Salforge wears on both of his wrist. They're both incredibly thick, an insanely durable. Their weight at least two kilograms each, of course their heavy to say the least. They have the ability to manipulate and change their shape, one form of which encases Salforge in golden armor, the color really being irrelevant. They also serve their place as amplifiers on their own, needless to say they amp his dusklanzer and steel heart respectively. Since their malleability is so flawless, while in armor he can graft sub-weapons while inside the armor.
Bio :
"Chivalry is dead."
Such were the words of a man that had lost more than just his way. His heart, devoured yet body sustained by his master's legacy. The Steel Heart. Retaining his memories as well as his body, he even compensated from his heart being rogue. In any event, the accident that put him how he was living this new life gave him purpose to search for his master and mentor that had parted saving Salforge and four other individuals with the method of the steel heart.
So his stature became one of a cold blood, but not a murderer. In his roaming, he became something of a mercenary, a real ghillie in the mist so to speak. His subtle nature erases his existence with no heart beat to follow him, no heat signature, stealth made him infamous. Keying into the rumors that his face was made of stone made it difficult to deter that he's ever been impaled. Needless to say as of late he's become aware of the sorry shape of the worlds. While he had no interest in the mass destruction he couldn't help but give it his attention.
"Pretty cool party, you guys know any card games?"
Like knocking on the devil's door, the little man in red, Salforge was bold as to make his own entrance. Not really intimidated in the slightest, his once red-orange eyes were a painted crimson as to strike a kind of madness into those that met his gaze. He created, an unrequited fear in the lessers, and upon making his way in he was greeted by one. Older than him, and a different type of being altogether, like it really mattered. As he walked passed him, he stopped. thinking about this for just an instant, he continued to climb until he expressed his dues of 'payment' for his services.
Fighting Style:
Overwhelm: Salforge will arm himself down to the bone and coat himself thick armor. He rushes into the line, with the assist of haste spells. Taking to the front, he draws his dark malice crescent and does battle with powerful forward attacks. He gravely shifts the weight of his blade in combination with his body weight to insist intensely powered swings. When he himself is hit, his dusklanzer's ability will code it and register it into the next swing.
Stealth: Salforge can switch his style to stealth, and suppress even the sound of his footsteps. With the help of certain skills, he can augment his body's center of gravity to land gracefully and suppress alerting nearby enemies. With haste magic, one of his signature moves comes from stealth attacking enemies and incapacitating them, a strategy used when first being recruited by the empire.
Firing Range: When paired with Lady Ciel, Salforge retreats a collaborabtive style of combat. In combination with his dusklanzer and her acute skill of magic, he casts a barrier to surround themselves and their captors. Whilst using the very same digital abjurations to reflect her spells and reflect them upon the target. Alternatively, they can be absorbed and bounced through other floating shells he puts in place.

Theme Song: STRENGTH ~ abingdon boys school
Battle Theme 1: SE OST Track 8: Mifune
Battle Theme 2: Nothing Can Be Explained
If you have questions about salforge, i'll explain some of the common.
He's a human with a heart of steel (literally). That same steel is what keeps him alive, and its also his weapon. The steel comes in three forms, its original shape, its released state, and its arms alchemy (BR) form which is its truest state. Since its his heart, we're assuming he doesn't have one (anymore). So Salforge is essentially cold-blooded, gives off no heat. Yet the rest of his body functions like a regular person, its like trying to explain if nobodies eat anything xD

Enhanced Human Condition
A step above Peak Human Condition, Jaakuna has reached a level of human enhancing that allows him to pass the limits placed on standard humans, but not exactly reaching superhuman levels. His physical and mental prowess can absolutely be described as above a regular peak human, but not at the level of a superhuman.
Master Manipulator and Master Strategist
At an early age, Jaakuna was not only more than capable of manipulating the minds of the mentally ill, but also devise strategies that surpass those of elite generals(sometimes). He’s not only able to plan multiple steps ahead that of his opponents, but also knows what strategies they will make based on the actions they take.
Darkness Manipulation
During his time in the Realm of Darkness, Jaakuna was exposed to the powers of darkness that even further the evil in his heart. He picked up the powers of darkness that lie within the forms of rays, beams, blasts, and teleportation. What this means is that he’s able to summon a portal of darkness to teleport himself to and from world with little ease. The rays/blasts/beams are just the base for his other complex and untapped abilities within this area of power.
Basic Black Magic Understanding
While a fighter at heart, Jaakuna has studied the basic principles that it takes to use Black Magic. Like mentioned, Jaakuna is a fighter, but the spells of Black Magic that he can use are the basic ones(fire, water, lightning, blizzard, and the like). He’s currently studying to use the second tier of spells.
Shadow Manipulation
During his battle with Acesto, Jaakuna unlocked a sub-power to his Darkness Manipulation, Shadow Manipulation. What this allows him to do is that he is not only able to use his own shadow as means of attacking, but within a ten feet range, he can manipulate shadows of those within said range. He can teleport to the source of said shadows and manipulate those shadows to the form of tendrils that can strike where Jaakuna motions it.
I'd... like in on this if I may.
