Name: Gabriel Kowalski
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: Gabriel stands at around 6'0", an inheritance from his father. He has a decently athletic build, not the build of a regular athlete but closer to a boy who participates in the occasional game of basketball. His eyes are a deep brown and his features are, like Gabriel himself, best described as Eurasian, any determination of his ancestry further muddied by his tanned skin. He often walks around with short, messy auburn hair, generally dressed in black polo shirts and jeans with a navy blue vest he wears open, revealing the red lining within and giving off a casual air in line with the boy wearing it.
 
Gabriel's Persona, Oppenheimer, appears in the form of a humanoid scaled up to around eight feet tall, its pale red upper body exposed with the build of a lightweight boxer. The head is odd-looking; the crown is flat, with two triangular shapes akin to cat ears on either side of the head. The entire face is replaced by a single, oval and opaque visor, a stylized animation of the hydrogen atom constantly revolving upon it. Its arms are bandaged in white boxer's tape and black leather straps, leaving only its fingers and thumbs exposed. The lower half of the body is suited in the lower half of a black business suit, pants, shoes and all. Oppenheimer's inhuman visage and its synchronicity with Gabriel's movement reveal its nature as the manifestation of his psyche, rather than a being in its own.

Personality: Gabriel seems rather laidback and calm, coming off as rather loose and relaxed. This, however, is but a first impression that quickly evaporates; though genuinely a relaxed and laidback person, Gabriel is quite full of energy and niceness to spread about, always with a word of encouragement ready and a pat on the back to help you get on the road. Quick to help and slow to judge, Gabriel often thinks the best of people, even when proven wrong time and time again, and does his best to help the helpless. Gabriel is very difficult to put down in any way; nothing seems to stop his relentless cheer for too long as he pulls himself up- and anyone else nearby he can. Indeed, very rarely can one get an expression aside from 'relaxed' or 'happy' on his face; 'anger', 'sadness' and 'fear' seem to be wholly absent from his emotional repertoire.

What worries Gabriel, however, is the world around him; a world that threatens to bear down upon him with the weight of its woes. Though presenting the face of a carefree boy with all the cheer to share and mostly living up to it, the cheer sometimes fades, replaced with concern; concern that, for all of his happiness and the willingness to share, it sometimes won't be enough, and that to believe the best of people is, as some say, a fools' errand, better left to characters of fiction than people like Gabriel who live in the 'real world'. Consequently, he may seem overeager to help others, in an attempt to prove to himself that his approach really works, and that working for the best in people is not a lost cause despite the world around him trying to prove otherwise.

Level: 6
EXP: 150
HP: 90
Init: 11

Base Stats: (39/39)
Strength: 2
Dexterity: 11
Intelligence: 6
Constitution: 10
Synergy: 9 (14)

Perks:
MAG-Oriented: Gabriel's Persona is of the more magically-leaning variety, and he feels the power of that progression rather keenly. +1 SYN per level.
Sun Arcana: Gabriel's Persona is of the Sun Arcana, the searing light that burns all who are revealed to it. Nuclear and fire attacks used by Gabriel inflict a burn on the opponent, dealing SYN/2 piercing damage for three turns, each subsequent nuclear or fire attack adding an extra stack of burn. Enemies who resist radiation and fire cannot be affected by Sun Arcana's effect.
Beat of My Blood: Any Frei-line skills (including his basic attacks) upon enemies with Burn, Shock or Frozen statuses (or any analogues) deals x1.3 damage. Sun Arcana's effects qualify as Burns for Beat of My Blood.
Optimism: Even the worst kinds of situations can't bring a downer onto Gabriel's easygoing attitude. As the Persona is a reflection of the soul, Oppenheimer reflects Gabriel's unyielding optimism. Ailments have halved durations on Gabriel.

Flaw:
Reactor Cooldown: Gabriel takes x2 damage from ice and cold attacks.

Actions: 18/18
Freila: Utilising Oppenheimer, Gabriel blasts an opponent with the power of nuclear radiation, unleashing a miniature nuclear blast onto them. Gabriel does 5d6+SYN damage to a single target.
- Level 2: Frei 2 - Upgraded from 1d6+SYN to 2d6+SYN damage.
- Level 3: Frei 3 - Upgraded from 2d6+SYN to 3d6+SYN damage.
- Level 4: Freila 1 - Upgraded from 3d6+SYN to 4d6+SYN damage.

- Level 6: Freila 3- Upgraded from 5d6+SYN to 6d6+SYN damage.

Mafreila: Gabriel blasts all enemies with a burst of nuclear energy, less taxing and powerful than its stronger counterpart. Deals SYN+2d4 damage to all enemies, 3 turn cooldown.
- Level 2: Mafrei 2: Adds 1d4 to damage, but increases cooldown by 1.
- Level 3: Mafrei 3: Decreases cooldown by 1.
- Level 4: Mafreila 1: 1d4 to 2d4, but increases cooldown by 1.
- Level 5: Mafreila 2: Decreases cooldown by 1.

Agilao: Gabriel sears an opponent with a blast of flames using Oppenheimer. The targetted enemy takes 10% increased damage for the next 3 turns. Resuing this attack resets the duration, but does not increase damage taken further. This can only be applied to one enemy at a time, and if applied to a new enemy the original target is no longer affected. Deals SYN+2d4 damage.
-Level 2: Agi 2: Deals SYN+1d4 damage.
-Level 3: Agi 3: Damage bonus lasts for 3 turns.
-Level 4: Agilao 1: Deals SYN+2d4 damage.
-Level 5: Agilao 2: Deals SYN+2d6 damage.

Red Wall: Gabriel protects an ally by applying the power of Oppenheimer's resistances to an ally. A targeted ally takes 50% less damage from attacks. If the attack is nuclear or fire-based, increase the damage resistance to 75%.
- Level 2: Red Wall 2: 60% damage resistance, 80% vs nuclear/fire attacks.
- Level 3: Red Wall 3: 65% damage resistance, 85% vs nuclear/fire attacks.
- Level 4: Red Wall 4: 70% damage resistance, 90% vs. nuclear/fire attacks.

Equipment: 7/7
Through the Bonds of Camaraderie (Trick): Gabriel can choose to have “once per plot” beneficial items affect Perlita instead of himself.

Throwing Axes: A pair of hatchets that happen to be well balanced for throwing. Not particularly sharp or dangerous, but they're there. 1d4+DEX damage.

Blue Jacket: A blue bomber jacket gained from fighting Shadows. It amplifies Gabriel's natural resistance to radiation, along with a few nifty bonuses. 20% resistance to radiation attacks, and a 40% resistance to specifically heat-based ailments.
-Level 2: Gain 20% chance of resistance to heat-based ailments.
-Level 3: 40% chance of resisting heat-based ailments.

Effort Bracelet: A little black and white bracelet which embodies focus and pushing oneself hard, letting an occasional spell be strengthened but taking some serious effort in the process. Once a plot, Gabriel can add [SYN] to the damage of an attack, but at the cost of adding 2 turns of cooldown to it.

Brave's Headband: A red headband worn on Gabriel's head that imparts a sense of bravery and resilience to the wearer. Once per plot, it can be used to remove all ailments on Gabriel.

Name: Emphala 'Empi' Powderbelle
Age: 418
Gender/Sex: Female
Race: Fairy

Appearance: Empi, when not using fairy glamour, appears naturally as a woman in her early 20s, standing around five feet tall. Her vivid red hair is tied into two ponytails, one on each side, but otherwise seems unkempt, as if in a constant state of having woken up, contrasting with her vivid green eyes. Her clothing is fit for a love fairy, consisting of a red velvet leotard, backless to allow her translucent white wings to be free, conforming to her slim, feminine shape. A black bow is tied across the top of the dress, just covering the cleavage across her large chest that would otherwise be exposed by the low-cut dress. Under her waist, only a dangerously short green skirt hides what would be her underwear, and the rest is unadorned; Empi, as a matter of course, tends to go barefoot. A faintly alluring aura exudes from her- a side effect of her status as a love fairy- drawing the gaze of those tending towards the female gender towards her, but no more. Empi is capable of using glamour to assume a form amenable to communication with average people- or for other, more personal purposes-, which for all intents and purposes is the same as she appears as normal, albeit taller and with an even larger chest, along with more modest, modern clothing. In this form, Empi goes by ‘Emmy’ or ‘Emi’, depending on who asks or who she’s speaking to.

Personality: Empi is an inherently benevolent soul, as her job focuses on helping those unlucky in love to amend their loneliness. She has a genuine urge to help people be the best they can, even if her definition of ‘best’ is ‘most attractive lover’, and can come off as sweet at times. However, benevolence and charity does not equate to a lack of backbone; indeed, Empi’s tongue can be sharp and her temperament mercurial, fitting for a veteran love fairy who has often dealt with lost causes or people arrogant enough to believe themselves her superior. She is hasty to let her thoughts and feelings be known; if someone acts in a manner she finds to be worthy of criticism, Empi’s sharp tongue will come swiftly and conversely, if someone does something worthy of praise, her praise comes even swifter. Of course, as expected of a fairy attuned to love, Empi’s hunger for “certain things” is high, seeming almost insatiable. Her appreciation for attractive members of both sexes is palpable, in the form of appreciative leers and flirtatious passes; indeed, she can come off almost boorish at times, due to her coarse tongue and open nature. However, her tastes are discerning; centuries of teaching unlucky everymen (and women) how to woo members of their preferred sex have attuned her tastes. Sometimes, of course, she settles for second best; after all, a girl has her needs, and Empi’s needs, for the most part, are always in need of filling. However, when it comes to helping others, Empi’s lust always comes second to the needs of others, and she carries herself with as much professionalism as she is capable when assisting others, whether it be with matters of love or other, more pressing subjects.

Perks:
A Little Fairy Magic: Whenever Empi buffs an ally, she regains 15% of her maximum health.
Old Dog, New Tricks: Empi possesses the skill 'Lesson in Affection'.
Sharing Is Caring: Whenever Empi buffs an ally, she also receives that buff.

Lesson in Affection: Four-hundred years of educating hapless boys and girls in the art of relationships has made Empi a skilled teacher, able to impart important life lessons and pack them in small soundbites perfect for battlefield consumption. Empi selects one of four buff types (Affections) that she can confer upon allies. Each buff can be conferred once on allies for a total of four total allies buffed at once. Each buff wears off after three turns, allowing Empi to use it on another ally. [Perk-backed]

I'm Not A Doctor: In a pinch, relationship fairies know basic fairy first aid, perfect for dealing with clients who take ill-advised attempts at flirting with people with overprotective significant others. Empi heals 1d4+SYN health for a single target.
- Level 2: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN.
- Level 3: Upgraded from 2d4+SYN to 3d4+SYN.

- Level 5: Upgraded from 4d4+SYN to 5d4+SYN
- Level 6: Upgraded from 5d4+SYN to 6d4+SYN

Save The Date: Empi places a protective time charm on an ally, normally used as emergency birth control for her clients, but equally useful for reversing moves they might have regretted. Place a mark upon an ally. If the ally is damaged by an attack, consume the mark and return 50% the damage dealt to them as health.
- Level 2: Save The Date Redux: Return 60% of the damage as health.

Out Of Your League - Empi induces feelings of lust for her in a target that are so strong, the enemy's guard drops as they struggle to avert their eyes; even those not normally attracted to women, fairies or organic beings. The targeted enemy takes 20% increased damage for the next 2 turns. Reusing this attack resets the duration, but does not increase damage taken further. This can only be applied to one enemy at a time, and if applied to a new enemy the original target is no longer affected.
-Level 2 - A Little Extra - Damage bonus increased to 30%.
-Level 3 - A Little More Extra - Damage bonus increased to 40%.

Take It Easy: Fairies are naturals at taking it easy, trying not to get too stressed about their busy lives; Empi, being the teacher she is, imparts such skills upon her teammates. Empi removes a single ailment from the target.
- Level 2: I Said, Take It Easy: Removes all ailments from the target.
- Level 3: And Always Bring Protection: The targeted ally can block a single status until the next turn.

You're Sleeping on the Couch Tonight: Empi executes workplace policy by placing dangerous enemies on "time out". Empi banishes an enemy from the fight for a single turn; the banished enemy cannot be affected by combat actions nor affect combat in any way, but status effects still tick down while the opponent is banished, and returns them to the fight after the turn is used up. Enemies resistant to banishment instead deal 50% reduced damage for the same duration as they would have been banished. Two turn cooldown. The same opponent be banished consecutively.
- Level 2: One turn cooldown.

Equipment: 7/7
Fairy Wings: Empi's wings. They look pretty and actually work like proper wings despite all of physics telling us they shouldn't. Really useful for certain types of rough play. (Trick)
Base: Grants +3 INIT.
- Level 2: +6 INIT.
- Level 3: +9 INIT.

CutieBee: Your all-included organiser, smartphone, digital wallet and enemy vapouriser. Best friend of every matchmaker fairy worth their wings. (Trick).
Base: Deals 1d4+SYN damage.
- Level 2: 2d4.
- Level 3: 3d4.

Fairy Dust: An aura of shielding dust that all fairies have as a precaution against certain diseases. It works against acid and stuff in a pinch, but a hazmat suit or not getting hit in the first place is a better defense. (Trick)
Base: Grants a 5% chance to resist ailments applied to the holder.
