Curse

**Curses** are supernatural abilities obtained when someone becomes a Fiend. While they seem purely beneficial to many, some have heavy drawbacks. They are called curses since the Fiend is possessed by the spirit of the person they killed. Curses can come in many different forms, but are always related in some way to how the victim was murdered or who the victim or killer was. The more immensely powerful curses tend to have some form of drawback.

The list below is in order of mentioned appearance, not necessarily physical appearance in the story.
Hairionette

**Hairionette**, also known as 'The Hypnotized Hairstylist', is a Fiend that is a hairstylist and performer for the Wandering Souls Circus. She originally applied for the Fiends For Hire, but they referred her to the circus, thinking it would suit her better.

## Abilities and Powers

### Curse

Hairionette's Curse, Hairionette, allows her to control her hair and the hair of others.
Kada Susten

**Kada Susten**, also known as "**The Melting Mermaid**", is a general in the Fiends For Hire. She is a very free-spirited individual and takes things a lot less seriously than the other Generals. However, this has no detriment on her capabilities and ability to succeed. Kada is also very artistic, and enjoys spending her free time flexing her creative muscles in whatever artistic method peaks her interest at the time.

## Appearance

Kada used to be quite pale, but now has lush tan skin due to the adaptive traits of being a Fiend. Her hair is ocean blue, and it always seems to be in motion like rolling waves. She always wears a silver headband to try to contain the wildness of her hair. She has silver eyes that shimmer when she's emotional. Kada is a bit taller than the average woman, but far from the tallest in the group.

Kada almost always dresses in some form of swimsuit, even when sleeping if she's not entirely naked. The swimsuit is usually accompanied by whatever she considers cute or sporty at the time. She also has a blue purse she always carries around given to her by Nathym, with a thermos dangling of the side.

## Personality

Kada is quite energetic and easy-going. She acts more based on feeling and impulse rather than thinking things through. However, Kada has an excellent memory to help her get through the day but becomes irrationally upset when she is unable to recall something important. Unlike the others, Kada had a tougher time killing and harming others, but has been able to come to terms with it.

## Abilities and Powers

Kada is an extremely strong swimmer, able to outpace anyone in the water. She is also competently proficient at fighting using her anchor and grappling with enemies.

### Curse

Kada's Curse, Water Water Everywhere, allows her to melt any object into a liquid state that she can control and manipulate. This excludes living fauna. The melted objects can have their shape changed and will retain that shape when turned back to normal. If Kada is touching a material, she can also melt any objects of the same material nearby within a certain range.

Kada's Ascended Curse, Can't Stop The Flood, enhances the melted material so that it can melt any other material it is touching, creating an endless reach.

## Weapons

Kada uses an anchor as her main weapon. Originally it was just made of solid metal with a chain but has since been modified by Nathym. The anchor is now controlled by a magnetic system and can be recalled when thrown. It can also be converted into a launcher that when coupled with Kada's curse can be used to fire just about anything at high speeds.

While not exactly a weapon, Kada is the owner of The Tourist, a highly weaponized and modified vehicle to suit any need.
Creti Sloemin

**Creti Sloemin** is a Fiend and the leader of Above, a Fiend fixer organization similar to the Fiends For Hire. Due to the manipulation ability of her Curse, Creti is seen as extremely dangerous by many.

## Abilities and Powers

### Curse

Runway Pop For Life!

“Runway Pop For Life!” is the 6th episode of the first season of Rachel’s Rankings and the 6th episode overall. This episode ranks Michael White/MIDNIGHT CVLT.

This episode’s name comes from Rachel’s “made up EDM genre” called runway pop. She describes it as “genre of the songs that play during fashion shows”.
Rallie

Rallie is the leader and ringmaster of the Wandering Souls Circus. While she may not have a physical talent like most of her troupe, she's a true showman at her core and could make any mundane task seem like a spectacle. She is also a brilliant schemer, capturing some of the most wanted criminals without anyone batting an eye.

Rallie has a hard time producing a natural smile since she is so used to wearing a fake one.
Regend

**Regend** is the country located directly to the east of of Segrevide. They are also the first country to formally pardon the Fiends For Hire so that they could legally utilize their services without any form of repercussions. The citizens of the country often see the For Hires as superheroes and a great asset for all they've done for their country. The country's Representative, Marigauld Viscelli, is a bit more skeptical about them, but always entertaining ideas of how she can use them to further her own agenda.
Jaid Luciri

## Appearances

### Debut

Volume 2: Epilogue - Contingency (unnamed)Volume 3: Chapter 4 - Welcome to the Fiends For Hire (as Jaid Sparka)

**Jaid Luciri** is a Captain in the Central Peace private military. She formerly infiltrated the Fiends For Hire as a spy until she was caught during the events of V3: Chapter 5 - Vs. Spy.

## Abilities and Powers

### Curse

Jaid's Curse, Army of One, allows her to create clones of herself of varying shapes and sizes as long as the clones are still connected to the host.
Criminal Score

**Criminal Score** is the points allocated when an individual has committed a criminal act. The amount given varies on the offense committed. To give a few examples, small infractions such as a parking ticket was around 5 to 10 points, but something a bit more advanced such as a petty robbery was around 150 points. The biggest crimes, such as grand larceny or being a murder suspect were 500 points or above. If someone was known to be a murderer without a shadow of a doubt, it immediately doubled to 1,000 points.

When someone accumulated 100 points, they were sent a summons to their known legal address informing them to come pay their debts. Points accumulated from misdemeanors could be paid off by community service or various fees corresponding to the infraction committed. Points from felonies could only be removed by serving jail time, or paying off the right person. If someone who was convicted of a crime did the same crime again, point values would be multiplied.

At 200 points, an official investigation would begin and a police officer would be dispatched to bring the person into custody. At 500 points, if a criminal had yet to be caught, a public warrant is issued. This warrant could be taken up by anyone; they were then allowed to make a citizen's arrest for which they were compensated. The only stipulation is that the suspect must be brought in alive. However, if one were to be killed, the charge would be less substantial than that of a normal murder.

At 1,000 points, the criminal was reclassified as a ‘public menace’ and the public warrant was upgraded to a ‘DoA’ warrant. For DoA warrants it didn’t matter if the suspect was alive or dead, the payout would be the same. If killed, proof would be required before payment could be issued. This was usually in the form of a photograph or a map given of the location where the corpse could be found. The reward money scaled exponentially the higher the criminal’s score was.

Being a member of the Fiends For Hire automatically awards a score of 1000.

## Known Criminal Scores

* Phon Drazah: 6260, ~~4460~~, ~~1385~~
* Drim Drazah: 6340, ~~3895~~, ~~1535~~
* Kada Susten: 8990, ~~2345~~, ~~980~~
* Xard Randex: 5136, ~~4796~~, ~~2400~~
* Mallea Dulip: 1000
Fiends For Hire

The Fiends For Hire is an organization dedicated to helping others who lack the capacity to help themselves. All jobs they take are paid, but the form of payment can be quite varied and flexible depending on what the requestor has to offer. They take jobs for anything from monster extermination to babysitting, toppling governments to judging competitions. There are no limits to what the FFH will do except for their own availability and whether or not the member likes or approves of what is to be done.

The Fiends For Hire originally only consists of Fiends, led by Drim and Phon Drazah. Eventually, they break out into adding Lesser Fiends and a few select humans to their ranks. While a business as its forefront, the Fiends For Hire compound also acts as a refuge for Fiends and Lessers with nowhere else to go but don't want to actively participate in the business side of things. These individuals, however, do have to contribute in someway to earn their stay from helping on the housekeeping and logistics side of things to community service or furthering their education.

It is revealed during V3: Chapter 1 - Record Scratch that the Fiends For Hire is actually merely a front for Project Fiendless. However, Drim does fully believe in the organizations commitment to helping others and still gives it his full attention in growing it.
Kaizu Izuzu

**Kaizu Izuzu** is a Lesser Fiend and member of the Fiends For Hire. She used to be a serial killer, only killing those she was confident would give her more Curse Marks. Now, she has become the only person known to have her Curse Marks become sentient and manipulative of her actions.

Kaizu used to be a citizen of Tooshifont, but after a deal with their government, Kaizu's citizenship and proof of her existence were revoked and destroyed.

Curse Marks for Lessers are always solidly blood red in color while Curse Marks for Fiends will be fully colorized.

Phon Drazah

**Phon Drazah**, also known as the Vivacious Vixen, is the Deputy Leader of the Fiends For Hire. She is often mistakenly believed to be the leader due to her charismatic and overassertive nature compared to her brother. She does not mind taking the most of the heat however, since she would do anything to further Drim's goals.

## Appearance

Phon usually wears a military style jacket with modified sleeves to conceal her yo-yo. She also wears a purple hat and skirt. While she doesn't care much for fashion, she does try to color coordinate like her brother. Even her casual clothes are usually form-fitting. However, she will go with something slightly more stylish on occasion if it doesn't mess with her maneuverability too much.

## Personality

To anyone who knows her, they'll think of Phon as mostly brother obsessed with a hint of sadism, but anyone else would just think of her as a standard sadistic sociopath with no empathy or regard towards others. Phon does care a lot to things and those that matter to her, but has little patience for anything else. The only times she'll really get riled up is her competitiveness with Mallea or when she thinks anyone is getting too close to Drim.

Due to the effects of Premature Cognition, Phon matured much sooner and has become more mentally developed than someone her age should be. However, due to a lack of proper schooling, Phon is completely oblivious in some aspects of being an adult.

## Abilities and Powers

Phon is a skilled fighter in hand-to-hand combat and using a yo-yo to a deadly degree, having won multiple yo-yo competitions every year. She is also a highly skilled cook, second only to the world's greatest.

### Curse

Phon's Curse, Tactical Advantage, allows her to see everything in a range around her through a sort of omni-presence. The amount of living beings in that area effects how far her maximum range at any given time is. With the help of Phonscience, Phon can teleport any living being, represented by figures or pieces, to anywhere else within her range as long as she has a firm place to set their piece down.

Phon's Ascended Curse, Overseer, allows her to learn almost anything about the background and status of a living creature.

## Weapons

Phon has a metallic yo-yo that was specially created for her by Nathym. Besides being superior to a standard yo-yo in every way, the yo-yo can switch to different modes with varying functions. It can become a taser, a buzzsaw, a platform she can teleport to, and expanded shields for defending. Additionally, after modification, the string can now extend indefinitely as far as Phon is aware.
Bisomote

**Bisomote** is a remote town in northern Segrevide. During The Drazah War, it served as the Drazah's center of operations and would become the capital of The Drazah Empire once the war was over. Nearly one-third of the town's population was massacred during the events of V1: Chapter 5 - The First Fiends. The town now serves as the base of operations for the Fiends For Hire at the former Drazah compound to many of the citizen's dismay.

Central Peace

The Central Peace is a conglomerate governing body comprised of most nations on Rathe. It was created after the Drazah War in the hopes of preventing anything like it in the future. The CP is mostly in charge of creating laws for all of its member nations to follow but also has its own science department and military force which swear allegiance to no nation. Every nation has 1 Representative and 3-5 Vice Representatives that create the balance of powers. Most representatives will have their own private security force that is vetted by the CP but does not work for them directly. The CP also formerly oversaw money printing at the Central Mint and shares most of its news and development through Prosper City News. The entire organization is overseen by The Warden, who has no authority over lawmaking or legal matters but complete authority over the organization itself.

The Headquarters of the Central Peace is one of the world's best kept secrets with only the members and a few outside contractors knowing its location. It is discovered by the Fiends for Hire during the events of V3: Chapter 2 - Juliet that the headquarters is beneath a gas station in the rural outskirts of Prosper. The headquarters itself consists of hundreds of circular floors of offices and residences that look out to a town below under an artificial sky. There are just as many if not more floors below the town, but the exact number isn't known to many. The Central Peace also has branch offices in Prosper and a number of other hub cities that aren't a secret for their more public works such as events and restoration.

Phon discloses on the way that the woman's name is a Fiend named Ahvra and that they had fought before leading to Phon's defeat and fear of her. When they arrive at Ahvra's laboratory in the mountains, Ahvra captures Phon and traps the rest. The others manage to break free and head to where Phon is being held captive. There they find that Ahvra has the body of a child and has the abilities to control various flows, including the 'time' of living beings.

Fiend

**Fiends** are a species created when someone kills another who is genuinely evil or bad for the world, and has deep feelings or a genuine connection for the person they killed. The source of what judges these people is unknown. When someone becomes a Fiend their physical abilities are enhanced to the point that it becomes difficult to measure. Their bodies also receive greatly enhanced regenerative properties that can heal almost any wound rapidly. While they still need rest, they can get by on minimal food if needed.

Every Fiend also gets a super power known as a Curse. They vary wildly on their form or function, but are always in some way related to the person the Fiend themselves, the person they killed, or how they killed them. The more immensely powerful curses tend to have some form of drawback.

Fiend's eye, hair, and blood color will change to seemingly random colors when created. Eyes and blood color will always match, and eye and hair color will always be different. Eye and blood color can never be blood red. Hair color can not be changed or manipulated by dyes or any other coloring source since it will run right through. Fiends can also not cleanly shave their heads as their hair will grow back. There will also be a Curse Mark somewhere on the Fiend's body. Unlike Lesser Fiends, the curse mark is fully colored in and easier to make out.

The first Fiends were Drim and Phon Drazah after they killed their parents and triggered the events of The Cosmic Boon. Afterwards, Fiends started popping up all over the world when they fulfilled the same conditions.

The list below is in order of mentioned appearance, not necessarily physical appearance in the story.
