Lucky

* Base Form
* Potential Unleash

One of a handful of the illusive Cerealian race, **Lucky** is an assassin, sharpshooter and member of the Nameless Crew, as well as one of the strongest in Ikigai's world.

## **Personality**

Lucky is a rather quiet person who chooses to keep to herself most of the time. While she doesn't mind talking to people and socializing she sees it mostly as a waste of time unless it’s for a job or obligation. On the outside she does seem somewhat of a cold person, speaking mostly in facts or blunt statements. When someone gets to know her she is mostly the same but will actually open up just a bit to them, much less formal than normal. She is also somewhat of a perfectionist in her work.

## **Background**

Lucky was born on planet Cereal though she was not exactly raised. Both of her parents were hopelessly poor and they couldn’t afford to feed themselves let alone a new child…and so she was sold off, so much for good parents. Luck herself was sold off to some sort of galactic cartel of sorts though her parents didn’t know that of course. But why would a galactic cartel want a Cerealian child? To make them an assassin with undying loyalty of course. And so Lucky was brought up in the cartel around plenty of crime, from the moment she was able to walk she was trained up by the head enforcer of this group to learn how to fight and use ki. This cartel was somewhat unique as they actually had a few fighters with the ability to use ki, quite a motley crew.

Of course despite being trained all was not sunshine and rainbows for Lucky…she was essentially treated as guild property and while most of them were at least tolerable towards her, they all treated her as a tool because that’s all she was at the moment. Day in and day out she trained, learned the business, and generally just did what she was told. She wasn’t even fully a teen before she was sent on her first job. There was a local detective on one of the cartel's main planets that was getting very close to discovering the cartel's best money making operation on the planet. Lucky, alongside the head Enforcer, were dispatched to make him disappear. This was Lucky’s first job and she was going to perform it well. After a long stakeout Lucky was finally given a chance to do the job. While positioned on a rooftop Luck got a clear sightline to the detective, she raised her fingers and took aim…and for a moment she hesitated, her natural instincts telling her that this was another sentient being…someone who has a family. The enforcer, the person that Lucky was the closest to at this point, started to speak up but before he could finish his sentence Lucky had already fired, putting a hole in the head of the detective.

The two fled the scene and made it back to base. Once she returned the boss asked Lucky how she felt…all she did was shrug. The girl had no one to tell her what was right and wrong, well she did, but right and wrong with criminals was mixed, and so with no moral compass to tell her what she did was wrong she wasn’t all that affected…though of course she couldn’t entirely be that cold.

Over the course of the next few years Lucky would serve the Cartel to the best of her abilities, training, adapting, and killing. Most of the time her kills were other criminals, politicians who had outlived their usefulness, or just those in general that were threatening the Cartel’s operations. Lucky didn’t mind this life all that much, she performed her duties and got paid to do them well and she was generally dispatched alone, something she enjoyed as it allowed her time alone with her thoughts. All in all she didn’t hate working for the cartel, she viewed them as…a family of sorts. She wasn’t exactly close with many of them but she saw them everyday pretty much so it was hard not to like them.

Hard times soon came for the family as crackdowns on multiple planets made their jobs difficult….trouble was brewing as multiple planetary officials started to warn each other about the cartel’s operations…This was not good and soon enough it evolved into a multiplanetary coalition to begin getting rid of the cartel. At first it started with a few low level runners getting arrested…and then lieutenants, captains, street bosses, they all began to get pinched and put away…something was going wrong…One day a meeting was called with the cartels top officials Lucky herself was not able to come as she was off on a job but when she returned to base she found it in ruins, surrounded by local law enforcement…and with plenty of body bags outside.

Lucky quickly fled into the city and laid low, keeping an eye on the news. From what she learned the planetary coalition had finally found their main base and attacked it alongside some mercenaries hired by the government. Their operations were all but destroyed, most of the top brass was now in prison and…the boss and the top enforcer were dead. Lucky almost cried as he learned about this but she steeled herself…the cartel was gone and she had to survive. She figured that at least a few of the people arrested would have snitched about those not in the meeting so she quickly fled the planet. It was time for her to go off by herself.

Her first destination was Planet Cereal as she wanted to learn more about her people. She spent some time on her home planet, exploring the culture and such and learning about their particular skills. While most would try to find their parents in her situation she had no desire to do so as she knew that they were poor and had nothing to provide her with. It would be a waste of time. During this time Lucky was…bored she didn't have much to do besides train and she was running low on money…and so she decided that it was time to put herself back out there in the business, and so she would use connections she had made to work as a freelance assassin, killing plenty of people for money. She would go on through the next few years like this, earning a name in many underground circles…but never publicly known, her stealth skills and general sniping experience allowing her to remain undetected on the radar of law enforcement, even the galactic patrol.

## **Abilities**

### **Ki Manipulation**

Being an experienced mercenary and guns-for-hire who wields the Cerealians' natural finesse for energy moves, Lucky has a handy skill in being able to use Ki for various purposes and applications.

1. **Sekai Bullet**: Costs *25*% Ki for a high-pierce high-distance 'bullet' of energy.
	* **Sekai Bullet Barrage**: Costs *35*% Ki for a buckshot-like alternative which fires multiple of these 'bullets'.
2. **Spider Web Beam Barrage**: Costs *45*% Ki for a controlled beam which soon-after divides into ten smaller, similarly controlled beams.
3. **Pinpoint**: Costs *30*% Ki for generating a small mark which, when struck directly, magnifies the attack power of an attack by *1.5×*.
4. **Spider Web Beam Bindings**: Costs *35*% Ki to create numerous small whip-like beams which can be used for snaring or throwing.
5. **Lucky Shot**: Has three variants.
	1. *50*% Ki for a standard beam which is highly powerful and quick.
	2. *65*% Ki for an explosive beam which is slower yet explodes into a heavy smoke cloud when dying.
	3. *45*% Ki for a stun beam which deals little damage but is fast and shocks a target for *1* turn.
6. **Take Aim**: Over the course of *5* turns, the user ramps up an additional accuracy multiplier which starts at *1.2×* and ends with a *2×* when maxed out.
7. **Vital Shot**: Costs *25*% Ki for a pin-point beam which targets an opponent's vital points. Can be devastating if striking true.

### **Magic**

Although not nearly as experienced with in comparison to Ki, Lucky possesses an 'Arcane Blessing' and, from it, a slight sense of control with the element of *Lightning*.

1. **Two Finger Prong**: Costs *30*% Mana to generate electricity at the fingers which, when striking vital points, induces a shocking effect for *1* turn. If Lucky hits two vital points, this becomes *2* turns.

### **Transformations**

1. **Optical Evolutions — Stages 1-3**: Being a Cerealian, Lucky's natural transformations don't affect her *whole body*, but rather solely her eyes. With them, she possesses a *300×* multiplier to her *Accuracy*-based techniques, a form of imperfect prediction of her opponents' moves and actions, the ability to copy moves and techniques of others, the ability to see for up to ten miles ahead of her, and lastly a *1.6×* multiplier for *Stealth Strikes*.
2. **Potential Unleashed**: Due to unknown circumstance, Lucky also possesses the state of *Potential Unleashed*, which makes up for her lacking of a strength multiplier in the form of a flat *300×* multiplier. With further training, she has the potential to transform this into its next stages.

## **Paraphernalia**

1. **Cerealian Eye Piece:** A specially made eyepiece capable of enhancing the already impressive sight of a Cerealian with complicated pieces of technology capable of taking in all factors that might affect ones shot. When activated this device gives the user a 2x accuracy multiplier and then cannot be activated for 5 turns.
2. **Personal Invisibility Field Generator:** A prototype device that Lucky obtained during her life in the cartel, this device bends light around the user and makes them functionally invisible. Upon activation the device turns the user invisibility for two turns and then must cool down for 5 turns.

## **Trivia**

Lucky has acquired a taste for earth music and will often listen to it while on bounty jobs.
