Twoban Noenhart

Tome of Reality: Author's Authority

Literary Enlightenment

Twoban Noenhart, also known as Two Hearts or Patience, is a member of The Equilibrium. She is owned and played by Patience.

## Appearence

Twoban is average in height and a generally muscular woman, with very dark brown eyes and defined features. Her face looks very young for her age, and her body seems to slow down at a lesser rate compared to other hunters her age. She has a somewhat darker skin, due to her mixed parents. Her hair reaches her ankles and is usually wrapped around her like a scarf covering her mouth and nose. She generally wears black clothing, with pouches of supplies to last her for the longer missions she takes. She also holds a very durable black satchel that weighs a lot more than it should.

In her battle outfit, she sports a thin and armored bodysuit, with one very durable shoulder pad on her right. This pad also acts as a clasp which holds a very large side cape across her body, covering her left side. Twoban uses this cape as a tactical diversion during combat. The body suit is painted in white, purple and gold. While the shoulder pad is pure black. She still wears the black satchel, even during combat.

## Equipment

OOS

The OOS (Open Oriented Sword) Is an incredibly wide yet short sword used by Twoban. Although it is described as a sword, the actual blade is not very sharp at all, instead feeling sort of rubbery yet durable. Although it can be used to bludgeon others, the big appeal of this weapon is the space it has for Twoban to put sticky notes on it. This allows for great synergy with her combative hatsu and allows her to manipulate many different effects on her sword.

Satchel:

Twoban carries around a durable and heavy satchel, which holds her book and sticky pads. It has the symbol of a strange looking tool, with the top half being that of a pencil and the bottom half is that of a sword. The side pockets hold 25 pens, granola bars and first-aid devices. There is also a small slot which holds her OOS.

## Personality

Twoban is generally very quiet, usually only moving her mouth to say cool one liners at every possibility. Her emotions are never shown on her face, so the irritations she picks up when talking to her higher ups are never shown in the light. She doesn’t really care for those around her unless they screw over her writing, In which case she’ll stalk them for days on end and make their life a living hell from the sides. (Unplugging their toaster, reorganizing the furniture in an abysmal way, etc.)

Despite the fact that she seems very lonely, Twoban actually dislikes being the only person in the room. While she does dislike noisy people, she’d rather there be someone she could discuss her novels about then nobody at all. This side of her doesn’t come out often, however she’ll always grab someone’s sleeve when they’re walking out the door or bodyblock the exit to prevent them from leaving.

Although she has a calm and serious attitude, her imagination couldn’t be further from the truth. She doesn’t show it, but she always has the most childish fantasies whenever she daydreams and only gets out of it when she’s around others or reading. Nobody sees this side of her, not even Sayateku; her only student and child. While most emotions don’t show up on her face, she’s hiding them all in that little happy cloud stuck inside her head.

## Biography

Meteor city is a dead place for dead people with dead dreams. Twoban knows this better than most who have been born there, and it’s certainly not something she takes pride in. While people definitely cared for her, she couldn’t say she reciprocated those feelings toward others. She was mostly seen alone, and any sort of human interactions she had were either for her survival or curiosity. It certainly wasn’t the greatest place to be alive, but she was always given out food by local families and lived on top of an abandoned building.

However, after she turned 12 she could leave Meteor City. A small group of people adventured off into a neighboring city, Twoban being one of them. She split off from the group, and took a peculiar interest at the local library. The building was rather large and something Twoban never experienced before. The smell and look of the place drew her in, and she read numerous different types of novels.

It was here where dreams came true. Anyone’s wildest imagination seemed to be experienced with writing. Twoban quickly started writing shortly after reading, however her first works weren’t the greatest. She clearly had some potential, yet the spark wasn’t lit yet. Everytime another group of people would adventure out, Twoban would never be that far behind them. Constant reading creeped some of her neighbors out, yet she didn’t notice the stares that were thrown as they were nothing near the judgement the text brought on certain topics. The ways these books emitted so much power yet were nothing more than ink on paper shocked her.

It was also here where Twoban learned about not only the size of the world, but the many different cultures along with it. Learning was something Twoban enjoyed a lot, maybe even on par with writing. She eventually learned of the different ways humans expressed emotion and their beliefs throughout many different methods such as dancing and praying. However, she also learned about those in power who strive to shut down these intriguing practices. Inspiration from numerous different cultures and constant practice eventually led to her first publication at 15.

The book sparked a lot of controversy, as it was about corrupt systems of government, how to identify them and how to fight for a better way. Of course, no birth records and a quiet background helped her stay anonymous, as she went by the pseudonym “Two hearts.” While those who knew her could make the connection, people who had never met her would have a difficult time tracking her down. She used this to her advantage, writing articles trying to shine a light on problems throughout the world.

People rioted after reading her book, trying to take charge of certain governments. Her novel has actually reached the common people, and convinced people to fight against their government. The book also convinced the government to change their ways, either out of sympathy for those under them or out of fear of a revolution between themselves spiraling out of control. The book changed a lot of different people, and they demanded more literary works from the author.

At the age of 16, she became a Hunter to access libraries unreachable to her otherwise. She also sent the leftover money she had to others in meteor city. She finished her second book, this time a short fable about two anthropomorphic foxes stealing from each other. She eventually learned nen, and spent a long time trying to come up with the perfect hatsu ability for her. It wasn’t until her time at Doli city where she broke her cycle of writing and hunting.

She met a little girl named Sayateku, with a gift that needed to be cared for. This launched the darkest point in the young woman’s life, the four year drought. She wrote very little during her time training the small girl. The more Sayateku learned, the more Twoban started to care for her. Twoban eventually adopted the young girl, although their relationship as student and master seemed to hamper them from connecting more as mother and daughter. She sent Sayateku to meteor city for a while to get her to experience the place she had to live through before catching up on her writing.

The second book’s themes and metaphors showed ways that humans can be better people, and the concept that if we’re all treated fairly there wouldn’t be any reason to fight. Of course, concepts like this were almost impossible to spread without some form of hate, and the public outcry for such a childlike message was harsh. She received a lot of criticism, yet didn’t really care for it all. She enjoyed writing, the messages behind words and the fact that she could express her imagination in numerous ways.

Eventually, Twoban started to gain a lot of attention throughout the hunter association. Those who thought she was a rising star, and those who wanted her hatsu for their own personal gain. She cut ties with Sayateku to protect her for the time being, and focused solely on the association and writing. She started gaining popularity as a writer as well, and it only seemed to grow higher. She continued to write, as that was all she ever did before finally being crushed by the pressure.

To break away from the attention, Twoban took an adventure throughout the edges of society. She continued to pump out stories and live life the way she wanted. She even bought a quiet beach house away from the rest of society, only neighbors with a couple of kind strangers. She eventually learned of their beliefs, and took inspiration from the way they practiced religion. She wrote her third book, and the last book that people generally read before her devotion to writing was now merely a gift given to the Hunter’s Association.

This book was also what brought her parents to finally meet their daughter since birth. Twoban generally didn’t care very much, however she knows that this is unhealthy thinking for a hermit like herself. While she stayed the same normally when confronting the two, she ran back to her house and cried right after. This was one of the only times she expressed extreme emotions, as the amount of loneliness she felt seemed to be an internal insecurity she never knew she had. She eventually always visited her neighbors, and still sometimes keeps in contact with her parents via mail. She reconnected with her daughter and started to connect with other hunters in the organization.

Now working with other hunters to try and do better in the world, Twoban uses her hatsu to help others who are going through difficult times. She is connected to some higher ups, and they call on her whenever a big problem needs to gain a solution. While she might not speak much, there is usually always someone next to her. Whether they are a client or an acquaintance, she always tries her best to talk to them. (And fails miserably 99% of the time.)

### Tome of Reality: Scholar’s Sacrament

The user starts planning a book, basing it off of predictions about the future. The user will then mark someone as the “main character,” and try to base the “chapters” off of that person’s actions. When the “book” is completed, the title of main character will be relinquished. (Time to get into the complicated stuff.) Eventually, the ending of the story will base what the last part of this ability does. While she can have multiple books ready at a time, she can only write one at a time.

#### **The Book**

##### Chapters

The novel contains a certain amount of chapters. These chapters contain information in the book, and the main character will have to move from chapter to chapter to finish the novel. Each chapter contains a red sentence inside of them, and that sentence will act as a condition the main character needs to complete. There are usually numerous red sentences in the chapters, and they will progressively get harder and harder as the book moves on.

There is no limit to the number of chapters. However, they must be realistic. A 500 page book shouldn’t have two chapters, since that’d only be hurting the user. While the user can change what happens in a chapter that hasn’t been completed, it does not work vise versa. Not only that, but the changed chapter should not create any plot holes in the story. Failure to follow these rules results in the ability restarting, and the user will need to start from scratch.

##### Themes and Genre

Themes are a very important part of writing, and that’s no different with this ability. Themes shape the events that happen in the story, and adds a way for the main character to be affected by the process while the chapters are being completed. If the themes are happy, then the main character will live happier events and be more joyful. If the themes are sadder and darker, the main character might suffer a bit and be miserable. While these themes don’t have rules, they must be consistent and realistic from an author’s perspective.

The genre of the book is what determines the limits the user has with the ending of the book. There are two types of genres; comedy and tragedy.

Comedies are light, funny and generally good for the main character. They usually contain light themes, and are typically shorter. When the book is finished, the user can only do supportive things for themself or others. For this ability to activate, the main character must willingly put both of their hands on the book and give a bit of their DNA on the cover. This will relinquish the title of main character from them. The user must then store it away somewhere, and write down what happened in the ending. This will trigger it into reality, and the book will vanish.

Tragedies are dark, serious and generally have the main character suffer in some way. They usually contain dark themes and are longer than comedies. When the book is finished, the user can only do harming things to themselves or others. For this ability to activate, the main character must willingly put both of their hands on and give a bit of their DNA on the cover. This will relinquish the title of main character from them. The user must then rip up the book into shreds and write what happened in the ending. This will trigger it into reality, and the pieces of the book will vanish.

### Tome of Reality: Author’s Authority

#### Main character/Protagonist

The story's main premise, and the foundation of the ability. To the author, the main character means everything. The author could only have one main character, yet their safety is of utmost importance. If the main character were to die, the author would either need to change the title to someone else, or start once again from scratch. The former is extremely difficult to do, and would ultimately affect the entire novel; forcing the author to start from scratch anyways. The main character is the one that needs to go through the chapters, complete the conditions and finish the story. While the main character isn’t manipulated in any way, they’ll most likely grow into a different person due to the influence of themes.

#### Supporting Characters

If the user wants, they could mark a certain number of people as supporting characters. These characters are slightly manipulated to subconsciously persuade the main character to follow the chapters. There is no way to tell a supporting character from the main character, and the only person who knows that they exist is the author. The influence over the main character is evenly spread out the more supporters there are, allowing a limit to how much influence the author has over the main character. Supporting characters are relinquished of their title when the main character loses theirs.

#### Antagonist

The author must include an antagonist in their story, and are manipulated similarly to the supporting characters. But while they don’t know they’re conscious and being manipulated, the author’s influence of the antagonist is much greater than that of the side characters. The antagonist’s role is to stop the protagonist, and the entire hatsu overall. The author cannot interact against the antagonist, nor can they write the antagonist as to where they don’t affect the main character greatly. The antagonist title is relinquished when the main character is relieved of their title. While there is usually one antagonist, the antagonist could be a group of people. And the higher influence they have against the main character, the more restrictive this condition is.

#### Love Interest

The love interest does not need to be a human, but rather just something that the main character desires. The love interest’s main role is to guide the main character, either directly or indirectly to it. It’s mostly used as a way for the main character to be persuaded to move through the chapters. This allows the user to have influence over the main character, without relying on other characters too much. The love interest also plays a big role in what the user does.

### Tablet of Transmission: Revival

This hatsu has two separate abilities, depending on the circumstances of the user’s opponent(s) these abilities are not interchangeable, and the user cannot switch between one or another.

#### The User Knows Their Target

The user can write down a list of things the opponent will mostly do during a fight. Once the two meet together, the sentences will glow and the user must keep the notepad out, yet it doesn’t need to be opened. Every time one of these conditions is fulfilled, the user must check the box next to it. Once 6-10 of them are fulfilled, the user will have the ability to control the victim.

Conditions and Limitations:

1 The victim needs to fulfill some of the conditions written down.

2 Each time the victim completes one of the conditions, the user needs to check the box next to it to count it.

3 The notebook must stay in the users hand, and failure to do so will rip up the notepad into shreds.

4 After the battle is over, the notepad must “recharge” in the satchel for 30 minutes

#### The User Does Not Know Their Target

If the user takes out the notebook and fights someone they do not know, each time the user or their weapon makes contact with the opponent or their weapon, a word will start to write on it. These words will start to form pieces of advice for the user, and start to give tips to them in the form of cryptic messages.

Conditions and Limitations:

1 The book must be open in the user’s hands at all times, if not then the words will not form.

2 A word will only appear when making contact with someone or any tools they’re using in a fight.

3 After the battle is over, the notepad must “recharge” in the satchel for 30 minutes
