[hr]

”Up, up, high in the sky, our dreams will live, our brethren die!”
“Together forever, our lives that be; ‘tis the life Skyrate, see?!”
“Up, up, soar in the air, reap our foes, brace for despair!”
“Together forever, Skyrates true; ‘tis the life for me and you!”
“Up, up, miles apart, away from the lands from which we start!”
“Together forever, that’s how we must sail; Skyrates forever, we shall prevail!”
“Up, up, the skies are our planes, and the Scourge & Empire, we are their bane!”
“Together forever, that’s how it must fly; fight for freedom ‘til we die!”

High up above the planet Mundus, there is a storm coming. A war between two of the greatest factions the world has ever seen! The Empire, a force marked in blue, whom rival against the Scourge, red with hunger for the blood of their foes. Their war threatens the peace of the skies, and may very well condemn the air back to the dreaded land below, a barbaric world lost in nature. So, it is up to them to stop ‘em.

And who are they, you may ask?

Skyrates! The rebellious faction whom, too, take to the air in battle, yet for the sake of restoring balance to the world! Since the forefathers Bartholomew Jeel and Jericho Destill, these men and women have sacrificed their lives in seeking to end the war. Bound by the Laws of Skyracy, they set sail on the skies with Skygears in their ships, and foes in their sights.

Elico Galinford, son of the legendary Skyrate Elisius Galinford, and younger brother of the Skyrate Attack Dog Brave Galinford, is destined to end the war, and aren’t you lucky sods to be on the ship the Albatross, with him?

Prepare to enter the mishaps and adventures of Mundus and become a Skyrate!
[hr][spoiler=Rules:]1 – All relevant YCM Rules Apply.
2 – This is a PG-16 RP.
3 – Kyng is the Host of the RP, and have the final say about matters of the role play.
4 – Respect the Fourth Wall.
5 – This is an Anime-esque roleplay.
6 – PvP is to be planned between the players and written out in one post.
7 – Player Killing will be used to kill-off players only. There will be no means back into the RP if your character is killed off.
8 – This RP uses Blu’s Posting Routine Rule:
 
 

 
 
The posting style of this RP is turn-based, involving rounds. A round of posting consists of me posting then all other participants will post once, unless some circumstances prevent that from happening. After that round, a new round of posting will begin starting with me posting once more. After I have posted to begin a round, it doesn't matter who posts next as long as we reached the point where everybody posted once for that round.

- .:Blu:.

9 - We do not allow reserves. There is a limited number of accepted applications (5) so naturally we wont allow people to steal spots from others.
10 – We are accepting a few more applications (to the Host’s discretion) as back-up applications. Out of the current main playing characters, should one of them fall absent for longer than one week’s time, their character will be swapped out for a back-up character as soon as possible. Should said main character also remain inactive (without aforementioned reasoning for said absence) for longer than two weeks, their character will be killed off in the Host’s next post, and thus they will require creating another application.[/spoiler][hr][spoiler=Database:]It is important for you all to know that, despite there indeed existing an overriding Story Arc, this by no means makes you're posts restricted to any degree, save rules and common sense's boundaries. This role-play is freeform, and your characters are indeed important! Just make sure you don't move too far out from the action, because that is where you'll become excluded!! DX

[spoiler=Important Terminology]1 – Sky Gear:
Gears of a silver colour with a blue aura, made from the newly discovered element 119, Gravitanium, which alters the gravitons afflicted by the relevant component it is attached to in order to allow it to fly, regardless of its weight (however larger gears may be required for larger objects.) These are commonly used in Sky Ships and other aerial vessels in order to permit them flight (however often sails and engines are required to enable movement beyond levitation.)

1.5 – Gravitanium:
A newly discovered element which alters the gravitons of the mass it is embedded into. Larger quantities affect more gravitons respectively. It has a blue hue and a strong silver colour. It is as dense as steel alloys, yet maintains malleability of gold at higher temperatures. It has been said to have arrived during the Grand Meteor Shower.
> In respect to the likelihood of shortening quantities of Gravitanium, Imperial Scientists have been working on isolating the graviton-distorting mechanisms in the element to create more sustainable flight, as well as increased durability: rumoured to be an alloy of this element and titanium, to form Gravititanium, the hypothesized name for this more efficient replacement.

2 – Mundus:
Mundus is the respective “Earth” in this RP Universe. It shares very similar characteristics to the planet; however Mundus is significantly smaller, than our universe’s counterpart. There is a single, large continent which takes up a third of the planet, which stretches from the north to southern pole; scattered in the Ocean are smaller archipelagos and off-shoot islands. The skies are, indeed, somewhat littered with Skylands, which float in the air due to their vast quantities of Gravitanium.
> Mundus was, indeed, once inhabited by human beings, however since the discovery and use of Gravitanium, human society has been lifted into the skies in order to evade the vicious creatures below.

3 – The Empire:
One of the three primary factions of the story, the Empire serves as the Northern Hemisphere of Mundus’s collaborated governments whom merged into a single body, derived to maintain strict social order. Their dispute with the Scourge rose from the petty belief of “whom reached the skies first” to determine who would rule as the law of the skies, as well as disgust to the faction’s goals. They fight their enemies with refined and powerful Naval Technology, and specialize in using these arts in battle.

4 – The Scourge:
One of the three primary factions of the story, the Scourge acts as the Southern Hemisphere of Mundus’ conjoined tribes and clans who sought to bind as a council to strive for global peace and equality. Assuming they took to the air before the Empire, they’re determination to ground the forces of the opposition drives them onward in their struggle. Though technologically adept, they are lacking what the Empire does hold close; however, their skill over nature promises great reward as they can make use of magic in battle.

5 – The Skyrates:
One of the three primary factions of the story, the Skyrates acts as a rouge faction of defected Imperial and Scourgean forces whom rejoiced together in order to rule the skies for themselves, and prevent the foreseen future of the Grand Collapse. They are persecuted by both the Empire and Scourge, however have shown their prowess by their remaining existence. Though their intentions are altruistic, they do not conform to the means of other bodies of regulations.

6 – Skyland:
Islands floating in the air due to their rich quantities of Gravitanium. Respectively, Sky Ships follow the same principle.

7 – Sky Ships:
Vessels used to travel across the sky. These large vessels are categorized distinctively from Airships due to their boat-like design. These ships are heavily reliant on Gravitanium in order to remain airborne, rather than a balloon.

8 – Arcana:
Magic in the world of Mundus is charged from one’s connection with nature. Users of this magic are called, depending on their type of Arcana, Mages (those who primarily use Black Magic Arcana) and Clerics (those who primarily use White Magic Arcana)[/spoiler]

[i]"Just give me a shot; you won't regret it!"[/i]
[i][color=#0000ff][b][u]~Personal Information~[/u][/b][/color][/i]
[b]>Character Name: [/b]Elico Galinford
[b]>Sex: [/b]Male
[b]>Age: [/b]21
[spoiler=>Personality:]Elico Galinford is a fairly confident individual, with the right mindset developed from his father, and his mother's cool mindset. Very little will shake Elico off of his cool, and those that do will be of huge impact. He holds an inner, deep envy to his brother, particularly due to his teasing demeanour and his physically blessed size, often having lived in his shadow. This, however, does not mean he does not sparkle, as his respectful mannerisms are well known through the Skyrate's city. He is bashful regarding talking to the opposite sex, however can maintain his cool after a certain point. He is also well regarded as a snappy dresser![/spoiler]
[spoiler=>Appearance:]
[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/DGQgp.jpg[/img][/center]
[/spoiler]

[color=#ff0000][i][b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b][/i][/color]
[spoiler=>Equipment:][b]Rags 'n' Togs:[/b] From top to bottom, one could easily identify Elico with his, albeit scruffy, snappy and well kept clothes! Being a home-maker after spending such time with his mother, and watching his elder brother rush off onto the battle-field, he's made sure to look presentable to the other Skyrates in order to make his Dad proud, despite the old man's senility.

[b]Mr Make's Sword:[/b] A sword forged from Skysteel, an alloy of stainless steel and gravitanium, was granted to Elico as a gift for his efforts. It has a, albeit relatively weak, notable graviational distortion effect which Elico uses to get himself some additional air.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=>Inventory:][b]300 Gold Coins:[/b] Quite simple, really. Its exactly what is says on the can.

[b]Fake Sky Ship Licence:[/b] No Skyrate goes without one of these. The fake aspect is what really makes is skyratical and tabboo. Skyrate Captains use these to prove them amongst their ranks as capable of flying a ship, however this is an unlawful licence not authorized by either the Empire of Scourge.

[spoiler=The Albatross][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/QyYEn.jpg[/img][/center]

A rather small vessel, the Albatross is all Elico could really afford, after Ragnar took his father's Condor.

> Capable of holding 60 +/- 2 people on board.
> Completely steam-powered, save the cannons.
> Pure Skysteel machinery which, thus, does not weigh down the ship.
> 15 cannons per side.
> Low speed, high acceleration and manoeuvrability.[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=>Attacks/Technique(s):][b]Big Jump Slash Attack:[/b] Nothing really special here folks! Elico, literally, uses a low gravity jump to get air and, later, bring down his sword with higher momentum for a greater effect.

[b]Gravity Push:[/b] When within the radius of Gravitanium, Elico can channel his sword's alloy into emitting a gravitational push to give himself room. Only really ever used near the helm of his ship, but very effective against projectiles.[/spoiler]

[color=#008000][i][b][u]Other Information[/u][/b][/i][/color]
> Elico is an avid homemaker, in that he's adept at cleaning, cooking, and a degree of handymanship. However, an engineer is definitely needed regarding the Ships they will fly.
> The Albatross, Elico's Skyship, was to originally be named the Kestrel, however to avoid the FTL references, the Albatross was settled upon.
> Elico's name was originally used in another RP, albeit on Skype.
> Despite Elico's adept work with technology, his origins route in Scourgian defection. His father was a Scourgian Shaman, turned Skyrate.

[color=#4B0082][i][b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b][/i][/color]
[b]Character Name:[/b] Damian Kuso
[b]Sex:[/b] Male
[b]Age:[/b] 19
[spoiler=Personality:]Damian has been described as an energetic young man, putting a 100% into everything he does. He is quick on his feet and he thinks just as quick too, planning things ahead of time just in case things go wrong. Damian doesn't seem like too much of a private person, but if people ask him about his past or family, he quickly becomes silent or wishing to change the topic without hesitation. He is a outgoing person, always ready to lend a helping hand, especially those of the opposite sex (thinks they find it attractive if a young man like him would stop just to help them). Though when he's truly bored, he starts practicing his combat skills, hoping to become better than he is now.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance:]
[img]http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z247/skye126/anime%20guys/sword.jpg[/img]
[/spoiler]

[color=#000080][i][b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b][/i][/color]
[spoiler=Equipment:][u][b]Light Weight Clothes:[/b][/u]
With these type of clothes, he isn't just weighed down by the thickness of his wardrobe, allowing him to move quicker and more swiftly.

[b][u]Ebony Star:[/u][/b]
A pitch black bladed katana, almost as dark as the night's sky. It's hilt is covered in white cloth with multiple black stripes on them and small black star on the end of a chain, which hangs from the hilt's bottom. The hilt is black with gold dragons on it. When it is brought into the daylight, everyone can faintly see small specs of white, which makes the blade look like the starry night sky.

[b][u]Kingdom Keepers:[/u][/b]
Two 9.mm pistols that Sapphire Chrome on the main body of the pistols. The pistol grips are black they have small gold crown(they look like Sora's crown necklace in KH2).
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Inventory:][b]20 Gold Coins: [/b]Be lucky he started off with that much. It was a pain for him to try and get!

[b]4 Mags. of Ammo:[/b] He'll find more, so why give him more than that?
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Attacks/Technique(s):]1.) [b]Dark Shock:[/b] Damian channels black lightning through his hands, being able to shoot out lightning from his hands(Don't think of it as Sith Lord lightning, but more of Firebender's "lightning bending"). He can also use this technique and have Ebony Star used as a medium for it, allowing Damian to have the blade coursing with the black lightning. This technique is only limited at two, but not back to back. Pushing a third time with this, may cause serious harm to him.

2.) [b]Shadow Ball: [/b]Brings his hands together, forming a sphere of dark energy. When it is formed, Damian can throw it at whatever he's aiming at. Once hit, the Shadow Ball will explode(but not the extent of blowing the target up. More so of just, knocking the target for a loop).

3.) [b]Chaos Booster: [/b]Puts his hands behind him and is able to shoot a shadow energy wave, which propels him forward at a very high speed. If need be, it can also be used as a sort of barrier.

[b][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDwi0X7A0F0"]~Damian's Theme #2~[/url][/b]
~Damian Kuso was originally a Sophomore student who was an aspiring detective from the Darkness dorms in the RP, "Chrome Shelled Regios: The Trinity" made by Aisu.
~Kuso's theme is two songs mixed into one, in short he does basically have two themes, just in certain moments they will merge together. However, the 2nd theme is more of his "I don't give a heck" type of theme.

This looks very interesting. I've been wanting to get back into role-playing and this looks like a good one to re-start it. However, I wanted to ask a few quick questions before I fill out the rest of my form.

I'm guessing all the equipment and attacks and everything like that are completely fictional, correct? Can you have more than one weapon, or is it stuck at one; and are stuff like guns/daggers/knives/etc. allowed or can you only have a sword? Also, is there a certain "dress code" (so-to-speak) for Skyrates, like do they need to have their hair cut a certain way or do they have a clothing item they all share (such as a cape or shirt or something)?

Sorry for the questions, I was just curious, and I didn't see the answers anywhere else so I thought I might as well ask. I'll edit this post when I get my application form finished.

[b]Character Name: [/b]Tetna Reinfore
[b]Sex: [/b] All of it. (Male)
[b]Age: [/b] 22 years
[spoiler=Personality:]
Although he's usually observed as a laid-back and eccentric guy, Tetna is deceptively cunning and serious when needed. He often likes to use idle conversation and outward concern to throw others off guard but not for any particular purpose. Despise his care-free attitude, he is always polite but sometimes sarcastic. Tetna does not enjoy being the center of attention and would rather not intervene in situations that were not dire, preferring to stay on the side-lines. Usually knowing more than he lets on, he usually prefers if others do his work for him.

His straight hair is light-red, almost peach colored and has strands that hang down, framing the sides of his face covered by his black hat. He wears a loose-fitting, black shirt with an orange pattern, grey pants with a pale, cream-colored sun pattern on the leg held up by a brown sash with pockets and a large gourd attached with sandals similar to his pants. He wears tan and bronze gloves with a bronze nut ring on his right hand, middle finger. He also wears a similar neck choker made of a bronze metal with a nut & bolt attached, bronze nut ear-rings and bronze metal sunglasses. He has two tattoos around his right ankle and neck.

Ahh... I'm playing the classic arrogant swordsman with a past here. We need some soldiers around.

[i]"Heh, you say you're a [/i]real Skyrate[i]? [/i]I'll[i] be the judge of that."[/i]

[b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b]
[b]Character Name: [/b]Kai'en Foryas
[b]Sex: [/b]Male
[b]Age: [/b]19
[spoiler=Personality:]Kai'en acts as if he were still in the Empire and not a Skyrate. He is arrogant, harsh and strict but formal and still holds himself to be superior to everyone else, shown in his actions as he walks upright, chest pumped out pretentiously and barks orders at other people as if he held some sort of command like a Sky Admiral rather than being what he would have once considered "lowly sky rat scum".

He is distrustful of others as he was never liked by anyone, not even his family with the exception of his father, being a halfbreed and was even betrayed by his own crew. He starves for true friendship, but does not trust himself to find it and is always wary of other people's actions.

Against his urges to act cool, Kai'en loves nothing more than challenge and [i]conflict[/i]. He actively insults and goads others into acting against him simply for the sake of something "fun" to do, such as a fight or a competition, and finds it a personal challenge to beat everyone else at everything... except manual labor, which his superiority complex makes him only grudgingly do it when ordered.

Always proud, always adamant, Kai'en will never back down from a fight when his honor is at stake, even in the face of death, unless the one thing he values more than his honor, his friends, are in greater danger.

While his intelligence is somewhat above average due to his stellar noble's education and tutoring in military tactics, he does not use his head often and rushes into things. Fortunately, however, he has a natural intuition. It's nothing supernatural, merely his subconscious connecting dots which his conscious mind could not see.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance:][img]http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a491/AixDivadis/prussia.png[/img]
(As you can see): Kai'en is a thin and rather tall man, at 6'5", with pale white biege-ish hair and thin amber-red eyes as well as a smooth, angular face. Despite that he quit the Empire's Military, he still keeps the stiff-collared lieutenant's uniform, which includes the white shirt and baggy beige pants with the dusty green trench coat, along with the beige medals sash and all the brass ornaments due to how impressive it makes him look.[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Biography']Kai'en Foryas is the third and bastard son of Lord Admiral Sebastian Foryas of the Empire's Sky. His mother was one of the Scourge which the Admiral had taken a fancy to on a military campaign and was then forced to leave her as he returned to the Empire. Despite that Kai'en was a reminder of his disgrace, Sebastian kept him and gave him the same education as his brothers. Because of harsh relations at home, Kai'en's stepmother despised him and his half-brothers constantly bullied him on the excuse of him being inferior, Kai'en left as soon as legal to join the military. Upon hearing this, Kai'en's father immediately put him on a small fleet with a good commander... however a not so good crew. The crew were Empire natives and had all lost friends and family to the Scourge, and so they took an instant dislike to the halfbreed. Kai'en's volatile nature did not help the situation.

The fleet was defeated in an attack against the Scourge and only the command ship which Kai'en was on survived. The crew mutinied against him, who was supposed commander, and tried to kill him, but fortunately Kai'en escaped on a lifeboat. Upon returning to the Empire, however, Kai'en was put on trial for sabotaging the expedition and murder of a superior officer (namely the commander) and the crew as well as Kai'en's own family, testified against him saying he was seduced before the encounter. Kai'en was forced to flee. Eventually, Kai'en found himself with the Skyrates.[/spoiler]

[b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b]
[spoiler=Equipment:][b]Empire Sky Lieutenant's Uniform:[/b] His uniform marks him as a (former) lieutenant in a Sky Fleet. The brass ornaments are merely ornaments. He did not get any medals. There is boiled leather underneath which serves as armor.
[b]Two-Handed Sword - Glory:[/b] His sword is made of high quality steel, is four feet long and channels Black Magic Arcana to give it an extreme hardness and cutting edge not generally possible even with the incredibly good material and techniques used to make it. It's family heirloom he received for being the best swordsman of his brothers, Kai'en is not going to sell it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Inventory:][b]100 Gold Coins:[/b] It's his families money. He's not dumb, he knows he needs money when he runs away. But when wandering around, he was forced to spend a lot of his money, thus, he is only left with 100.
[b]Empire Sky Lieutenant's I.D.:[/b] It's no longer valid because he went AWOL, but Kai'en still carries around to reinforce his authority. Skyrates don't know he's not legit any more and Kai'en has no intention of telling them.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Attacks/Technique(s):][b]Foryas Family Dual-Form Two-Handed Sword Style (no Gangnam Style here, unfortunately):[/b] Kai'en's swordsmanship speaks of extreme cockiness, it employs rather slow broad sweeping and flashy strokes and lunges that take advantage of the swords length and he also spins it around like one would do with a quarterstaff. While extremely effective on hoards of untrained swordsmen, it gives more experienced fighters false openings which then he will leap back or to the side to unexpectedly widen the gap between them and giving him more time, while bringing his sword smashing down. The secret to the fighting style is balance and footwork, always ready to move even when it doesn't look like it. The Dual-Form refers to when he changes distance again to leap at his opponent and attack at a distance too short for most swords but he still jams his really long blade forward before leaping back and reverting back to the first form again. Kai'en is an expert swordsman.
[b]Spinning Sword:[/b] Kai'en spins his sword like a quarterstaff, the residue from his Arcana creates a shield for him and allows him to advance on ranged fighters.
[b]Stinger:[/b] He lunges while using Arcana palm to help propel him forward. (named after a move that Dante does in DmC)
[b]Arcana Push:[/b] He sticks out a palm and pushes his opponent(s) back and possibly off-balance.[/spoiler]

[b][u]Other Information[/u][/b]
> Kai'en is very awkward with women due to inexperience.
> Kai'en is a disaster at cooking and is used to horrible food due to the fact that his stepmother purposely fed him her worst cooking.

Can you have more than one weapon, or is it stuck at one; and are stuff like guns/daggers/knives/etc. allowed or can you only have a sword? Also, is there a certain "dress code" (so-to-speak) for Skyrates, like do they need to have their hair cut a certain way or do they have a clothing item they all share (such as a cape or shirt or something)?

Sorry for the questions, I was just curious, and I didn't see the answers anywhere else so I thought I might as well ask. I'll edit this post when I get my application form finished.

First of all, I'm glad you're getting back into role-playing, and am ecstatic you chose this role-play to do it in!

Question 1: By completely fictional you mean...?
Question 2: You sure can have more than one weapon!
Question 3: Guns/daggers/knives/etc.
Question 4: Nope! See, Skyrates are defected Imperials and Scourgeans. However, time-period wise, base it on Steampunk for ease.

I've no problem with the questions ^^ I'm hoping I cleared it up for you!

@Kakashi: Accepted; and welcome aboard the role-play Kakashi ^^
@Double C4: Great to hear ^^
@Aisu~: Sure it is honey <3 I can't wait to see your character!
@Issun: Go gun-slinging Issun, to your hearts content!
@Chaos: Can't wait to see the finished product pal!
@AixDivadis: Accepted! Is there any name I can address you by that'd be easier? : .

Btw.. Is it alright is the characters have something like automail, as long as it's steampunk? And can it be made from Gravitanium?

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Yeah, that's totally why Kyng has the 4th wall rule. Anyway, Kyng, I'ma probs be making small changes to my app here and there. Nothing character changing, just little things that make sense as I think of them like for instance, I'ma add some arrows or bolts or something to his inventory for his crossbow.[/font]

Hopefully this is okay...

[b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b]
[b]Character Name: [/b] Alexander Selene
[b]Sex: [/b] Male
[b]Age: [/b] 17
[spoiler=Personality:] First and foremost, Alexander is kind. He smiles a lot, and is always willing to help people, even if they aren’t necessarily deserving of it. He’s courteous to everyone, which means people tend to take advantage of him. He’s also very shy and nervous around new people (ESPECIALLY girls), and as such is prone to blushing, speaking in nonsensical sentences, and clumsiness. He’s normally very quiet and reserved, as those he grew up around instilled in him the belief that no one cares about his feelings, and his only purpose is to serve others. As such, he has also acquired an intense fear of disappointing others and not living up to expectations, and has developed some physically and emotionally abusive tendencies that he enacts upon himself in private when he feels he has messed up. If his personality may be summed up in a few brief sentences: “He’s a good kid. He hasn't been blessed with what most people have come to know as ‘love,’ so he isn’t like most kids his age, but there’s plenty enough inside him for everyone else.” [/spoiler]

[spoiler=Appearance:] Alexander has shaggy brown hair with bangs that flip slightly upward on the left side. His skin is rather fair and is almost completely unblemished, save for a pale scar that runs along his cheek. He has brown eyes that are often described as “girly,” due to their size and the length of his eyelashes. He has a smile often described as “warm,” and he doesn't hesitate to show it off. He stands at around six feet tall, and he has a slim, fit build, much like that of a runner, which is appropriate given his choice of profession. He’s been described as cute by a few girls (and even a handful of guys), but that is obviously a subjective matter. [/spoiler]

[b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b]
[spoiler=Equipment:]
[b]Clothing:[/b] Alexander prefers to wear heavy jackets with a light shirt underneath. He refuses to buy any form of clothing (apart from shirts and undergarments, obviously) without at least 7 pockets, “each of which must be large enough to conceal a box of toothpicks.” His clothes tend to be rather drab brown, tan, and olive, with little in the way of embellishment or color.
[b]Weaponry:[/b] Alexander’s signature weapon is a weapon he’s nicknamed “Moonedge,” a katzbalger with a lustrous, silvery-metallic blade (presumably made of chromium). However, the most impressive feature of the weapon is not its blade; it is fitted with a specially-designed revolver on the hilt (think Squall’s sword from FF VIII). The sword is heavier than it looks, which causes some difficulties when aiming it, meaning long-range combat isn’t very plausible; it is, however, devastating at close- to mid-range. He managed to steal it from an Empire armory when he was fifteen.
Alexander also possesses a somewhat oversized hunting knife, a keepsake from his long-deceased father.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Inventory:] [b]King of Pocket-Sized Items:[/b] Alexander keeps a plethora of odds and ends on his person, from toothpicks to painkillers to small vials of animal urine (don’t ask). If it can fit in a pocket, he has it on him or in another jacket/pair of pants.
[b]Satchel:[/b] "First of all, it isn't a purse. I mean, unless you get mad when I say that, then it totally is a purse. I'm sorry!" Where Alexander keeps all the stuff that won't fit into his pockets, such as whatever book he's reading at the time (unless he gets a pocket edition).[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Attacks/Technique(s):][b]Crescent Divider:[/b] Alexander leaps into the air and swings Moonedge down with all his might, rolling through the air as he falls. It’s powerful and allows for quick recovery once he hits the ground (since he’s already rolling), but it’s slow and easily avoidable.
[b]Moonshot:[/b] Alexander skewers his target on Moonedge’s blade and pulls the gun-sword’s trigger as he pulls the blade out, firing a .45 round into the already injured opponent while swiftly and violently removing the blade.
[b]Sign of Selene:[/b] Alexander can utilize ice-based magic. Generally, he freezes objects in place or skewers objects with icicles. When he performs a technique using this ability, he gains an icy blue aura.
[b]Ice Fang:[/b] Alexander coats the blade of Moonedge in frost, increasing its damage-dealing potential.
[b]Blizzard Barrage:[/b] Alexander utilizes his Sign of Selene abilities on the bullets in the revolver portion of Moonedge and quickly unloads upon his target. The bullets explode in a burst of ice and freezing air upon impact.[/spoiler]

[b][u]Other Information[/u][/b]
