Ignition

**Isaac Martinez**, better known by his online name **Ignition**, is a character in *Magical Girl Policy*. He appears in the "Call It A Knight" and "Back To Basics" vignettes. He is a sophomore at Schuyler Adamson University and member of the nerd club SFEERS as well as its *Aspect Realms* guild, the Knights of the Spherical Table. He lives in an apartment with SFEERS officers SaltStorm and Zemiron.

## Personality

Ignition is a video game enthusiast, mainly for PC games like *Aspect Realms*, and he spends the bulk of his free time playing them. By contrast, he seldom plays console games or fighting games like *Mega Mash Family*. Though he is shown to be social among SFEERS members, he is apparently introverted in most situations, as he was glad to never be assigned to work the club's recruitment booth.

## Biography

### Background

"Call It A Knight" is set six months ago, when Ignition was a freshman at SAU. One day, he plays *Aspect Realms* with some Knights of Spherical Table. BlackNovember joins NightKnight's PvP group and fools around to annoy him, leading to the two having a heated argument. SaltStorm the guildmaster is called to resolve the conflict. He has BlackNovember log off and NightKnight move to a different chat room, then confirms the situation with the others. Ignition is among the group that confirms SaltStorm's assumptions of what happened, as BlackNovember has antagonized the short-tempered NightKnight several times already.

### Week 1

For his sophomore year, Ignition moves into SaltStorm and Zemiron's apartment. Living with two SFEERS officers makes it so Ignition is often asked to help with tasks usually handled by officers, though he manages to avoid being assigned to the club's recruitment booth during Club Week.

### Weeks 2-4

Ignition gets roped into helping the SFEERS opening social by running the *Mega Mash Family* setup. He is suddenly greeted by AcidicBase, a friend who had graduated last year. AcidicBase explains that while he originally declined Fretribution's invitation due to living hours away from SAU, he changed his mind when he learned fellow "Old Ones" Esper and OmniDrive were going to attend. They talk about how much the club has grown under Fretribution's leadership and joke about Ignition being pushed toward running for office. They also discuss the pair of cheerleaders that entered the social, Robynne and Vivian, with AcidicBase as shocked as Ignition was to hear the former is the Knights' newest PvP master GalleyGirl had mentioned. Ignition suggests that AcidicBase meet Robynne, which he follows later in the social.

## Relationships

### SFEERS

Ignition is a member of SFEERS, SAU's resident nerd club. He is friends with several of the officers, and during his sophomore year he became the roommate of SaltStorm and Zemiron. Living with two officers makes Ignition conveniently available to help with club work. Despite SaltStorm suggesting he run for office, Ignition has intention of doing so.

### Knights of the Spherical Table

Ignition is a member of the Knights of the Spherical Table, SFEERS's *Aspect Realms* guild, and spends much of time in PvE raid groups. In addition to being friendly with the officers, Ignition was particularly close to AcidicBase, though AcidicBase graduating and getting a time-consuming job means the two don't speak as often as they used to.
