Thread: Wielding  (Raziel99 and Oreo)

The place Earth The Time Now Plot The world is slowly falling apart. Environmental issues, greed, and war have brought humanity to the verge of collapse. To many it appears this is just the way of things. But the true cause lies with scientists delving where they should not have. Thinking they were finding a way to fix the damage man was causing, they inadvertently opened a breach. A tear in the reality of the universe. Our plane of existence is not the only one. While our world holds to technology, the alternate realm depends entirely upon magic. The only way for these strange and varied magical creatures to exist in the realm of earth is by merging into a human host. Some are evil, some are neutral, and more are coming. Not all of these beings are evil but those that control their hosts openly, have intentions that will drastically change the human world. Scattered throughout the continents these people are waging war for the dominance of earth. Their purpose is to destroy one world to expand the other. The realm they wish to destroy is earth.With the scientists the first to be assimilated the rift stayed open and the entities continue entering those humans who seemed to have the temperament necessary to understand and fight. The three factions fight in single duels, and sometimes even in small skirmishes. As the possessed humans fight they manifest the powers of the other-worlders to increase their own skills, and to gain new powers. Each time a fighter kills or stuns another they gain the ability to manifest more of the entity within them. They gain incredible power, but the world as we know it is almost certainly going to end. The question is which way will it go, will the inhabitants of Earth be destroyed, or will those of the other realm lose their existence, or will the worlds merge, creating a permanent pathway between the worlds, and possibly even a new hope for all? The Power Types Breakers Those humans who have destroyed the minds of their entity and control them. They always fight for either a merging of the worlds or the destruction of the magic world. Possessors Those other realm beings who have broken their human counterparts and fight to either destroy the human world, or to merge both worlds. Wielders These are the rarest those who have joined side by side with their other entities, two minds inhabiting one body, who fight together. They always fight for the unification of both worlds. Character Name Alacrity Bane Age 28 Gender Female PersonalityMotivation I don't care to watch the battle from afar. If I can't control it, why look? Alacrity has a clarity of convictions that often leads her to arguments, her natural instinct urging her to fight in the face of those same convictions. Though experience has taught her that restraint is the better part of valor, too often she has found herself victorious but alone. Improvising on the fly, is something she does with ease. Seeing what needs to be done, she remains resolute in conflict, ready to send the valiant into the mouth of hell so long as she is leading the charge. When challenged she may by reflex become argumentative, or simply unleash an icy gaze that serves notice, 'do not trifle with me'. She does everything with great passion. Alacrity's motto I'm really sorry you have to die. Appearance Alacrity stands tall for a woman at 5'9, her long hair is pure silvery white. Only her crystalline blue, almond shaped eyes, stand out as having any defining color while her full, slightly pink lips, fade in comparison. Her features are fair, her bone structure delicate. She keeps her slightly pointy ears hidden beneath her hair. Her hair skin and ears changed from the affinity with the other-world char. She prefers loose flowing blue pants that would look almost like a dress if she didn't keep them shoved into her blue suede boots. Her blouse is peasant style, white with blue embroidery around it's scooped neck. Side Merging of the Worlds Power Form Wielder Other-worlder Type Ice Elf Powers Afforded by manifestation An affinity for the cold, small tricks like freezing with her hands. These powers increase as the RP progresses. Short History Alacrity was born and raised in Northern California. When she turned 18 she began her job as a ski instructor for the handicapped in the winter months and a part time ranger for the conservation corps the rest of the year. Most of that time was spent alone backpacking through the Marble Refuge Forest making repairs to the trails and checking for up-to-date fishing licenses. Her hobby since early high school is Capoeira Fighting. A few months before the entity found her she had met the man of her dreams, or so she thought. He walked out of her life within weeks of the entities arrival. Her world turned upside down when she realized just how big the universe was and how desperately she was needed to fight what was coming. That was six months ago. Alacrity shielded her eyes from the sun streaming directly into her face. Sitting up in the back seat she tried to focus on her watch. Well she got a good...five hours of rest anyway. El stirred her mind to further wakefulness, There is not much time left. I can sense the wave of flash. They are coming soon. We need to go now. Leaning over the seat she opened the door to her pride and joy. Then combing her fingers through her snowy hair, she climbed outside. Running her hands across the stock yellow paint job of the 68 Shelby GT, she yawned and stretched her muscles before sliding behind the wheel. Smiling, like she did every time she turned the key, it was power time. In minutes she was back on the road, eighty mph with Avantasia blasting on the CD player. A grimace and shivering of her jaw escaped as she swallowed the last oily dregs of cold coffee left over from last night. Their approach to Saint Louis proper brought with it the palpable taste of flash. The air reeked with ozone and magic. At least now she knew what to expect. Fighting, and lots of it...to the death. Who would have thought her love of Capoeira would come in handy to actually save herself and possibly the earth as well? She had been in less than ten battles so far, but El had done his best to find weak combatants for her. She had only survived the first fight on a fluke. Arriving at a three way match, she absorbed the magic of a fallen victim before the other two had finished fighting. Alacrity fled before ever finding out which of those two had won the skirmish. Then El had led her to a newly arrived possessor. Its claim was to destroy the earth, and in moments El had surged through her veins. Her white skin had turned to a delicate blue flush, cheekbones more angular, and her breath turned icy cold while her eyes changed from pale blue to deep violet. Her customized Ronin blade gripped firmly in her hand followed her enemy with a dancing graceful precision. There was no room for error here. This was no trial or competition...it was a fight to the death. He was bigger and stronger, but her speed and dexterity served her well. Her first two strikes had him roaring in anger. His muscled bulged across his chest with a rippling along his abdomen, before his mouth opened larger than what seemed humanly possible. Alacrity barely avoided the sonic blast of sound he had sent at her. El had sensed it coming and had her diving to the side while the wall behind her had crumbled into rubble. It seemed to take time for him to recharge for the next blast, and she took advantage of the opening. With a flying roundhouse kick from behind she stunned him. Her arm continued to swing as she landed, plunging her blade deep into his chest and shoving upward until she met his heart. As the life drained away from his eyes, his magic essence flowed into her with a visible glow. Her head rolled back, body trembling from the sheer bliss that over took her senses. Magic surged through her, and her voice stuck in her throat then shrieked suddenly as El wrapped himself more firmly around her mind.
