Why Should Your Character Be....:

Summer is merely a firework mage quickly on the path to being a complete spark in Golden Phoenix. She is making friends rather quickly who aren't in her alliance and guild. She even has a team now and she is very proud to have a little team of her own.

The story behind her is simple: she came from a tiny village that was destroyed and she was almost taken away from one of her close friends, resulting in losing another close friend in the process. Despite her backstory. She shows off a childish composure yet is maturing very slowly thanks to her friends, her guild and her team.

Summer is still quick to make friends with whoever she meets, always seems to make them feel good, and that makes her a great asset for anyone's circle of friends. She even made a friend Near a fountain out of all places!

Not too long ago, she took an examination for position of an Ace. Even though she is a D-rank mage, the letter stated that if she was given a spot, the spot will be reserved for her. Even though she didn't get this position reserved for her, she is happy that she had the chance to reply anyway and is continuing on her journey to become a C-ranked mage, which she is very excited about.

Her first job happened... She was very excited to be taking on a job to take care of some patients stationed in the children's ward. She fell in love with them all, the fact that she managed to please the nurse afterwards was amazing. All she did was show them a firework, helped them stretch and various other things, ending with a performance of Summer's very own acrobatics.

Ami wrote:Character Name: Astrid Foss
Guild: Golden Phoenix
Position Wanted: Whatever position seems best
Rank: B
Activity: On daily
Why Should Your Character Be....:
Astrid was born in Mountain Village, known for it’s… Well, mountains. Though she did not stay there her entire life. Though some people would not even begin to think it is true, Astrid was born deaf. Completely deaf, unable to hear a thing. It wasn’t until she was a couple of months old did her parents realize this. Unable to afford to take care of a disabled child, once she grew older Astrid was shipped off to Peace Village to live with her grandfather, who had experience in caring for the deaf.
It was here that she eventually gained the ability to hear, thanks to her grandfather’s invention. Two hearing aids infused with a bit of magic, originally meant for her grandmother as she lost the ability to hear rapidly over time, though she sadly passed before he could finish them.
Once Astrid had gotten use to her restored sense her grandfather took her down to the center of the village to show her a performance happening. A performance by none other than a younger Elyx Reiaki. Though unable to understand any sort of words at that point, the young boy’s music managed to touch her heart in a way words could never. The melody alone showed his feelings. It was surreal to the girl, being able to understand someone’s feelings with this new noise.
It ignited a sudden and everlasting desire to master the violin and make other people feel the way she felt on that very day. Joy.
After obtaining the Foss family heirloom, a violin able to control light, Astrid began to practice every day in hopes she would be able to match the boy’s beautiful playing. And maybe, see him once again.

She spent the rest of her life living in Peace Village. While there she adopted Lucius Foss, the current #2 Coming Storm, into her family after she found the boy bloody and alone on the doorstep one fateful afternoon. To Lucius’ dismay, Astrid and her grandfather accepted him with open arms.
A couple weeks later the two befriended Jiyu Kazehime, a young dog-like girl who had recently lost her mother to a tragic accident. Though Lucius really was annoyed by the girl, Astrid couldn’t seem to turn her down, and invited her to that afternoon’s lunch. After that, the three became friends. Astrid played soothing melodies for the pup, Lucius taught her how to curse, and Astrid punished him for doing such a thing.

A couple years passed.
When Astrid turned 17, Jiyu had disappeared. Rumors popped up all over the small village. Bad rumors. Jiyu always did have a bad relationship with her father. So to suddenly have her disappear, the village began to think the worst. But Astrid could not believe them. Though her father wasn’t the best person in the world, she did not think he would do such a thing. No one could do such a thing… Could they?
Though it weighed heavily on her mind, the violinist left Peace Village with her brother a few weeks after, in search of the boy she had seen on that day so many years ago. Elyx Reiaki. In hopes she could ask him to mentor her in the way of the violin.
On their way to Black Rose, the man’s original guild, the two siblings met Kaisto Tyreal, the sky dragon slayer, where Astrid quickly befriended the eccentric man on the train after talking for a while.
After some settling in, Astrid was finally able to meet Elyx Reiaki shortly after arriving. Though nervous at frist she was eventually able to swallow her fear and ask the man to mentor her. Seemingly without hesitation at all Elyx agreed to train her, beginning the start to her adventure in this new world of magic.

Lucius and her also got their very own passports... Even if the entire situation didn’t turn out the way she wanted it to.

Not even a week later, did things start to get a little shaky. The thing she feared most started up once more. Her brother’s murderous tendencies.
He thoughtlessly slaughtered two people in a alleyway. This got the attention of the Black Rose’s guild master, Izayuki Hyoujin. Trying to stop Lucius from continuing the tanuki fought him. But because of the amount of blood the youkai soon found herself losing control and gave into her monstrous nature.
After almost killing her brother, Astrid stepped in herself. But it was almost like suicide. With the guild master being a rank higher than her, and far more power, Astrid was almost killed herself, having been attacked by Izayuki after she tried to defend her dying brother’s body. It wasn’t until Elyx barged in and took Izayuki down did the fighting and bloodshed eventually cease.

Trying her best to take her mind off of the recent event Astrid began to take more jobs. She helped out at a blood drive, found some lost puppies, used her violin to entertain some patients, gave her opinions about some wine, played tag in the park with some children, helped a baby learn how to walk, and returned a chicken to its farmer.
But it still didn’t feel like enough. She needed closure with Izayuki herself. The jobs began to feel no loner like enough to make her forget all that had happened.
So, though a little hesitant at first, Astrid made up with the tanuki after talking it out a bit, even if she still held some fear towards the youkai after what she had done to both her and her brother.
With that off her mind the violinist started doing even more jobs.
She took on a job with her old friend, Kaisto, in which the two had to get back their clients cargo that was hijacked by a bunch of perverted imps. Though it turned into more than just another job when Astrid had to actually kill the imps. Up until now she had never kill anything before, not even those annoying flies that somehow get into your house. All life to her is valuable, and to kill another living being, good or evil, didn’t feel right to her. Though after a while of almost dying due to her passive ways did she learn that to protect the ones you love most, sometimes killing would be necessary.
Afterwards she also caught an escaped convict who had managed to evade authorities for a long time. Trying her best to be sneaky at first, it was going well until a child from the hospital recognized her and blew her cover, causing the convict to run. After a wild case through Era, Astrid eventually managed to catch the man. But seeing as how he only wanted to watch his growing daughter for a bit, Astrid happily allowed him to watch her from a nearby bush before taking him back to jail.
She also gained more fame when she posed for a new clothing line for Sorcerer Weekly.

But of course, there was no rest for Astrid.
Once again Lucius was up to trouble. He managed to kill Izayuki as vengeance for the guild master’s last act of almost killing both of them. It was only after some very bad timing that the Black Rose tanuki managed to posses the violinist, torturing the Coming Storm and ripping off his guild mark.
Thanks to Izayuki’s cousin, however, Astrid once again took full control of her body, while also gaining new slayer powers from her violin.
Unable to control her anger towards the youkai Astrid almost began to attack the exposed soul, though was quickly knocked out by her companion, Monique, ending their confrontation.

But Astrid and Iza’s meetings did not stop there.
With Astrid’s anger unquenched, something strange happened to her. Somehow, something managed to take ahold of her. Something that had been hidden within the girl since birth.
Unable to control it Astrid attacked Izayuki herself. It was revealed within this confirmation that Izayuki was actually Astrid’s mother. Due to some unfortunate events in the future the guild master was doomed to give birth to a stillborn child. That stillborn child, harvesting its undeveloped power, traveled back in time to find itself a new womb to be born from. And with it, Astrid was born with a deep anger gained from the experience.
After some explaining to a bewildered guild master Astrid was close to killing her and achiving true peace. Until, suddenly, the tanuki began to accept her.
Slowly realizing that what she was doing was wrong and calming down within her mother’s grasp, Astrid finally took back control of her body, the anger fading away. Though the memories of the event, did not stay with her, leaving only what seems to be a blank space between the hours that this was all happening.

Astrid has worked hard to make a name for herself. From taking on bigger and better rewarding jobs, to trying to get out more, to even managing to become an ace of her guild it seems nothing will stop her from achieving her goals. She has already gone through so much, yet has remained unbreakable throughout it all. Though breaking from her goodie streak every once in awhile whenever the situation has called for such a thing she still remains what she is at her core. A girl trying her best to make everyone happy. Even at the expense of her own happiness.

Kirara wrote:Guild: Sabertooth
Position Wanted: Rising star #3
Rank: C
Activity: Purrty active
Why Should Your Character Be....: Kirara was once a closeted individual who had been stuck withing the confinement of her family's home for nearly all of her life. Since she was young, she had a dream that she declared she would achieve. She wanted to explore the world and see everything it had to offer, though her parents weren't extremely comfortable with that, and showed it by denying her initial requests to leave their home and adventure. However, after many years of devoted persuasion, Kirara managed to convince them to let her leave.

After she left, she met a young man named Akashi. He intrigued her, as his entire being screamed mystery. He told her tales of demons and such, making her want to explore even more! Not only that, she had her first interaction with someone who didn't work for her parents or weren't related to her. This isn't much of a public accomplishment, but it was a big step in developing Kirara's character nonetheless.

After meeting Akashi, Kirara remembered that money is a necessity, and that she did not have any. She had heard about a blood drive from a woman she had never met before. However, she was unaware that there was no profit for it. She willingly gave her blood, only to realize she had not achieved her actual goal in taking on the task of donating blood. Instead of jewels, she earned a cookie! A bit of renown with the magic council.

Though as time passed, Kirara had grown a bit distraught. She needed money, and she needed it bad. She was hungry, without shelter, and broke. She was faced with two options: take on a dangerous job for a handsome reward, or go back home and stop her life full of adventure. It was obvious which one she was willing to take. This endeavor had called to her basically, as a flier saying 'Job Request Board' had flew onto her face. She found the board filled with jobs, and browsed it, eventually finding one with a reward that caught her interest. She was required to find a rare flower, though she hadn't really paid attention to the details in hindsight. She completed this successfully, and gained battle experience. She had never been in a fight before, and this job definitely helped her out a lot! Not only did it benefit her, but the medicine was able to create the medicine that someone may have needed!

After this, things got slightly more difficult for her. She was tasked with the hardest job she had taken thus far in her mage career, which was showing the 'Grace of a wizard' in a sense. Money proved to be her motivation in this scenario as well, as she paid little attention to the danger the job may have put her in, as her main concern was paying off her living expenses. Though helping the citizens of beanstalk village was not her initial goal, after seeing what they had been put through and how much of a struggle it was for them, she had no longer been driven by the money. She wanted to rid the civilians of that terrible curse that had been placed upon the crops of Beanstalk Village. It halted THEIR living expenses, and Kirara saw that she was not the only one having financial problems. She completed a job many had steered away from, which was a big accomplishment.

After that, Kirara had gotten herself into a bit of an unofficial job. She played tag with a few kids. She was a bit of a sneaky player and hid a lot instead of running, though the kids still enjoyed her company. She wasn't the best tag player, but she sure was a riot when it came to putting a smile on the face of children. She may not have gained a lot of renown with those higher up in the land of Fiore, but the kids sure do love her!

Aftermeeting a young man named Imai she had been persuaded to join Sabertooth. She saw Imai as a long time companion, and his words moved her and her views on legal guilds. After meeting him, she became a member of Sabertooth.

She then went on a dangerous mission with Imai. THey were to find a hidden treasure. It took a lot of work, but they did it. they recovered a lost treasure, and are sure to be known and recognized for this feat. They also defeated a widely known treasure hunter, who was bound to use it for evil. FOr these reasons, I think that Kirara should be rising star #3!

Kiru wrote:    Character Name: Kiru Nivani
   Guild: Black Rose
   Position Wanted: Rising Star #3
   Rank: B Rank
   Activity: Every day mostly. I always notify others if that changes.
   Why Should Your Character Be....: Throughout Kiru's journey to the spot she's in now, she has gone through many difficult challenges, and passed them all while helping others along the way. Not only is she a strong defender of the weak, but Kiru is extremely brave, never afraid to face the evils of this world to defend those who can't.

When Kiru was brand new to the guild of Black Rose, she was enlisted into the service of Elyx Reiaki. Together, the two were sent to investigate a strange village. Upon arrival, Kiru and Elyx were met with an army of cursed toys. Together, the two fought valiantly while Kiru severely crippled the source of the curse, allowing Elyx to take the final shot. This all happened because of her intelligence. While being cursed herself into a small toy, Kiru managed to persevere, and actually take advantage of it. She exploited her new form as a tiny action figure to climb inside the robot, and weaken it from within. With the curse lifted, the village returned to normal, and the inhabitants did the same as the army of toys was defeated.

Not long after, Kiru was accompanied by another member of the guild, Shade, to track down some missing jewelry. While it may have seem like a simple task at first, the two quickly dug deeper and discovered a massive illegal possession trading ring, and quickly put an end to it. Stopping the heads from swindling people out of their goods, and selling them to questionable individuals. The entire escapade required both good detective work, and no small amount of skill to complete. All in all, Shade and Kiru worked together to end the trading ring after a massive brawl, putting many dangerous criminals in Hargeron behind bars that day.

One of her biggest events however was during the destruction of the guild's former guildhall in Lavantir. While the mechanized robot ripped the building to shreds, Kiru managed to distract it long enough to rescue many bystanders, including the guild ace Irina Nagitana. She would've died if Kiru hadn't used a distraction spell to confuse the robot C.A.S.S.I.E. and dragged the hurt ace to safety, before using her powerful healing magic to help cure the Ace's wounds.

After things resettled in Silver Moon, Kiru had been called yet again to accomplish another task. Due to strange dreams, she decided to investigate the sources of these nightmares. Her research led her to Oak Town to seek a resident who she thought could help her. However, upon arrival Kiru was confronted with a small army of fire wizards. The group had gone completely nuts, and started torching the entire place! Being the strongest wizard present, Kiru took it upon herself to stop these raging pyromancers. She had fought her way through all of them, while defending the innocent villagers who had been trapped. She finally beat their leader in combat, before discovering the true source of the vile attack... A dark wizard had taken possession of the leading fire wizard, and challenged Kiru to a duel. This wasn't just any dark wizard, it was a minion employed by Kiru's old master. The Ocean Demon Morpha. Kiru was forced to use all of her strength to defeat this foe, rescuing the town from turning all the inhabitants into dark zombies. After much sacrifice, Kiru defeated the dark mage, and saved Oak Town.

Kiru's most recent adventure took the girl all the way to the nation of Ice Berg by herself. As she had proven herself time and time again, the guildmaster decided to promote Kiru to the ace position of the guild. However, there was one more mission Kiru was required to take care of first. She was sent to stop the mysterious disappearances of a once popular ice cave. Upon arriving, Kiru was ambushed by Ice spiders. Her efforts let her escape the clutches of the beasts, and fall into the survivor's grasps. Kiru had quickly discovered that there had been a large group of people who had escaped the Ice Spider's clutches, but were still trapped within the Ice Cavern. Using her excellent intellect, Kiru had devised multiple plans to lead the people out. First she had organized an event which ended with her rescuing the remaining locals still captured by the monsters. Soon, the source of the spider's presence revealed itself in the form of a giant Ice Widow. A giant beast that had served as the reason for the nest in the ice cave. Using her newfound allies help, Kiru managed to hold off this giant creature's assault while making sure the people got out safely. However, Kiru was forced to fight the monster alone on the peak of the mountain after escaping. Using much of her magic energy, Kiru was forced to use her surroundings to defeat the monster. She had broken an arm in the process, but managed to send a large jagged rock into the creature's skull, sending it tumbling to its death. With the Widow dead, the cave returned to normal, and the people of the area were safe from ice spiders dragging them from their homes and feasting on them in the caves.

These are many events in which Kiru has proven her worth as a mage to serve the light. While she may not show much emotion, Kiru does still possess a strong heart. She is very clever, and equally as brave. And she will continue to do to defend those who can't defend themselves for as long as magic runs through her blood...

I would love to add onto this in order to achieve position 3 :) I hope that is okay.

Adding on now.

Summer continued to try get herself up to C rank, but one day, one of her friends that ran away from the village with her invited her to go to the Ace of Spades. Just for a little visit and an ounce of conversation since they haven’t seen each other in some time. However, when the female arrived to the destination a sandstorm picked up quickly and the female had to take herself to safety in a cave hole. Soon after, a stranger arrived whom called himself Torian. The two seemed to got on quite well during their time in the caves. It even got to the point where he carried her through a cave passage because she was worried about the fire that the two had to handle while going through the passageway. However, she didn’t tell him that she could explode at any moment if she a speck of fire touched her. Soon they were able to defeat a bandit that tried to take the treasure for himself and the two managed to make some sort of profit with the cloak that was found. Summer also had the chance to take an orb that seemed to have contained a magical power that seemed mystical in its own way.

By this time, Summer managed to pick up a pet while continuing to become C ranked and nursed the fairy back to health. The pet was a flower fairy who soon became known as Laysha, she was a very flirtatious little mage and instantly noticed every flaw the fireworks expert had. Laysha seen a very childish individual who seemed extremely unprofessional for a mage, but she also seen just how kind the fireworks expert was (even if she was an attention seeker who demanded everything she couldn’t get) and instantly thought that the journey to Summer’s maturity was going to be a very long one.

Summer then followed with a few simple tasks that she took on. One of them was to be a model for sorcerers weekly. She actually struggled with this task, merely because it took some time just for her to be patient. Despite the test of patience that she endured, the photo was eventually taken. Summer felt happy about this and she felt that she did very well enduring the wait. However, learning about needing patience was wasted when she decided to get herself a passport, she felt very lucky that her flower fairy, Laysha, was with her. Otherwise she wouldn’t of been able to keep in line with everything else.That was when Laysha started to see growing maturity AFTER watching Summer receiving her passport and after an insane shift in the cosplay cafe, Laysha couldn’t help but compliment Summer on her maturity.

It didn’t take that long for the fireworks expert to continue her journey the moment she was advanced to the rank she wanted, it may be a personal goal but it certainly was a big one for the woman who acted like a little girl. With this, came a new addition to her life that was going to be more important to her then she thought it would. Her first C ranked job wasn’t that much of an issue… Okay, maybe it was moreso then it should have been because of an issue that had happened during that job, but it will never be one that she will forget easily either. She took on a job that involved some little children that were in some sort of gang war, Summer wanted to stop the children before they harmed themselves greatly, upon arriving to the ‘scene’, she spotted children ganging up on another little kid, Laysha and Summer managed to help the kid and carried the little kid while questioning them at the same time. Soon enough, they helped her find another set of kids, however, they seemed to be more worried about something else and it forced Summer to bring the kid to safety, Laysha was with the kid and just in time too… The kid that charged into her was embraced in flames and made the female explode into multi-coloured sparks. The sparks affected everyone that was around her and knocked everyone out except for herself, she was then knocked unconscious herself due to the shock that she experienced. After everything was over and done with however with the cleaning up, Summer managed to pick up on a creature that she seen fall down the sky and onto the floor and quickly took the fallen star in, the fallen star could not talk and so Summer instantly took her in and named her Stella, the fallen star that she will take care of just as much as Laysha.

The next job Summer decided to go on was fairly simple. Certainly much simpler then the last job she has gone on to. Except she didn't bring anyone with her this time. The job she took on was to deal with a bully that seemed to be terrorising the client that payed to get this job in. Of course, Summer felt sorry for them and decided to deal with the job in her own way. She walked into the school grounds and got the bully to scatter off with some threats, well, in the name of justice anyway. She walked away from the school rather satisfied with herself and was fairly happy that she helped with the client's life becoming normal once more.

Being happy with herself, she decided to chill in the east forest, she quite enjoyed the chill out for once whilst remembering her village, fortunately, something happened. She wanted to gain the power that her mother had and that was when she started to see her own mother, yet her mother was dead, she didn't understand why but that was when her mother gave her the power over cherry blossoms, Summer couldn't be more thankful for that moment in her life.

Satisfied with what she has learnt, the next few days she has decided to hang out in rose garden, taking note of how close it was getting to winter and how cold it was getting. She kept herself to herself when a gingerbread man started to run out of nowhere, he started to shout out about the muffin man, it was clear that Summer needed to stop the gingerbread man. Luckily, Summer wasn't alone, she met up with a female called Haia who managed to shoot the gingerbread man to pieces after what seemed to be an awkward first meeting for the two girls.

Whilst taking on other small jobs... Summer decided to take on a job about a 'blood drive.' She has never heard of a blood drive before and so decided to go and find out what a blood drive was. Upon entering, she seen what it was and took on some immediate work and she loved it. She loved helping others because even the small things can make a big difference all over the place, it can also make or break gatherings like a blood drive.

A couple of days later, Summer decided to chill out in rose garden once more by herself, she noticed that cherry blossoms were falling onto the ground, Summer didn't understand what was going on, but she felt that the cherry blossoms were actually getting too much to the point that rose garden was getting clogged with absolutely nothing but petals. Summer quickly apprehended what was going on and all the while she was kicking ass with such finesse and made the cherry blossom mage change her mind about making rose garden 'prettier.'

Recently, the fireworks expert was invited to Minstrel to go to a fancy ball. Summer didn't understand why she was exactly invited, but she took advantage of it anyway and decided to invite Astrid, the ace of her guild. She thought that Astrid needed some relaxation and some time to herself, even though she wished she could bring everybody, she was happy to have brought Astrid. It really was a night to remember for the fireworks expert and for the ace of the guild she belonged in.

As of now, Summer is really maturing into a young lady, and there is only much more to go. Summer knows that her journey has only just begun and she cannot wait for the moment she will grow into the person that she truly wants to be.

It was a few days after joining that Kaisto recieved a letter in the mail it was...odd...it was From Cassia, a friend he hadn't seen in forever, he read the letter feverishly but to his horror, a plague had swept the lands, and his friend was sick and needed help, Izayuki Hyoujin, at that time a strong wizard in Black Rose (and Future Guild Master) offered to help him out so he and her flew to the lands but getting there Kaisto was met with a horrible sight of the woods just dying and soon met resistance that they had to quickly put down since the Cursed Lands spawned them, quickly though after the battle Kaisto and Izayuki rushed into the woods and what seemed like ages they did finally find the cabin but as lucky as they were, it ran out as the cabin was empty and Cassia was gone, crushed by this Kaisto just asked to leave the place, but thats not where his story ended not at all.

What was next though was weird.... he had to get a Passport? well it wasn't just a job he was told he HAD to get one or he was basically gonna be stuck not doing anything....lovely, so after being dropped off by Iza since well Kaisto couldn't fly he trudged his way into town starving since he hadnt had breakfast and then he saw that line...ugh he hated seeing it, but as how stupidly long it was he had to do it to be able to get jobs Internationally, though some thuggish punks tried to make that harder, he just scared them away easily with his magic at the time and he easily just completed his application and got his passport.

After that he asked a friend of his named Kim Deihl to help him get a certain Rare Flower for an apothecary that needed it for their medicines that way they could cure the sick in their town they had contacted the guild and Kai volunteered to go with Kim, should have been easy right, should have been quick right....? NOPE that was one big cluster of a wolf attack that him and Kim barely got away from, but digressing they actually did well and gotten back the flower and actually gotten to see people get better from the medicine made, truthfully the site of people getting better and families not being torn apart from sickness and disease actually made him smile knowing he had actually...done some good in his life.

It would be a few days after the whole wolf and flower incident that Kai was on the way home on the train when he met two individuals that he talked with like they were old aquantinces, Astrid Fross and her adoptive Brother, Lucius, were on their way to Black Rose, of course Astrid was asleep when Kai first met them and was probably Dreaming of a Dolphins song when he awoke her, though honestly they all talked but at the time something within Kai told him that Astrid was a pure soul...while Lucius...something wasnt right with him...nevertheless he actually helped the two join the guild much to Kaistos delight, he was making friends more and more.

On a more smaller level Kaisto had help from those two on another job, basically it was to help an elderly man find his lost puppie truthfully yes this job would not be the highest ranking thing to do or something that should be recognized but Kaisto had fun with Astrid and Lucius finding thes puppies for the elderly man, he couldn't go out and get them himself so it was more like an act of charity if anything for him, and of course Kaisto got to learn more about Astrid, like how she loves adorable animals and how they hated Lucius but the reward enough for him was that they got to see the Festival that was taking place at the time.

Ok he may not have liked Lucius but of course Kaisto being nice to Astrids brother bit his tongue and took a job with him, though they were just Dates to a ball that was requested by these two young girls named Patricia and Natasha though it turned out the girls were planning to actually leave their fathers side of their family and make their way from Laventir to where their mothers family was from to make a Apothecary for themselves to do what they love, truely though Kai was taken back a bit by this sudden realization but moved by their story he actually have them money from his own pocket to help leave their father and get safe, moved by his compassion they accepted the money, and after that night they left Laventir and actually send Kai's letters and photos of how the apothecary is doing even now where he lives in Rose Garden.

A few months after that, something happened in Laventir and Black Rose had to move to Rose Garden, Kai adjusted quite well in fact he was back in the swing of things, But in a dream he had, well he thought he spoke to a Dragon named Skyris....after he awoke he well wasn't the same as it came to find out Kaisto was a first Generation Sky Dragon Slayer, the two boughts of amnesia he had was Skyris trying to protect him at first then tried to make him forget what happened at the village but it proved unsuccessful the second time since he still remembered it, this was an incrediable discovery to him, the power of the dragons....he would use it to help all he could everywhere.

But that had to wait cause after that incident and discovery, he actually had Astrid, who now is like a little sister to him and he a big bro to her, go and well Secure cargo from imps now what was weird was that the employers actually never really....explained what they were risking their necks for, and risking their necks they were, cause as they got into the caves they were attacked by goblins left and right and for what you might ask? Gold? Furs? Lacrimas? NO! JUST SORCERERS MAGAZINES WAS IT. Oh Kaisto and Astrid were livid learning this but in a way felt bad they had attacked these innocent Imps for this, thats why after that day Kaisto made a vow that unless he knew all the details he wasn't gonna take on jobs like this were the client wouldn't tell them everything that was up.

Now came a big day in Kaisto's life, he was getting his C rank exam from Izayuki, it was a letter telling him that he and another mage, that mage was Ruminal Blackflower, was to hunt down and kill this creature named Bastet that was killing people at random, at night, in Rose Garden, of course he accepted it but after capturing it Kaisto found out that Bastet wasn't killing out of killing, she killed to prevent a dark ritual from taking place, she was a Goddess from another country, and she killed those who were part of a cult to do this ritual, Kaisto though listened, and asked why the flower shop girl who sold Kalanchoe Flowers, basically she was the intended sacrifice, Bastet would have killed her then let become the body of a deity dark god, this news was a bit stunning to Kaisto but he believed her, he offered her a deal, become his pet, his equal, his companion to help stop evil, and in return, he will protect her, and make sure no harm comes to her. hearing this Bastet agreed and took his hand and transform and showed her true form, a young girl, his age of 19, black hair, bright cat like eyes, cat ears and a cat tail, thats not the end of it though, he took her to the Rune Knights who had came in after Bastet was caught, She went there with him to explain to the Rune Knights what happened and after doing so Bastet was gave a warning that if she killed again they would kill her, this didnt sit well with Kaisto as he challenged the Rune Knights saying that if they came for Bastet he would fight them tooth and nail to protect her, showing undying loyalty to his comapnion.

it was a few weeks after that and Bastet was adjusted to guild life that they actually heard the Call of the Dragon and had to meet with many other Dragon Slayers about the possibility of Achnologia returning and their plans, well that went off as much as expected, actually pretty good but it was on to the next job, and this was deeply personal for Kaisto and Bastet, it dealt with stopping a slave ship from leaving the hargeon on port with slaves on board, of course it was gonna be a Liberation for all! and at first stealth was key but when they tried to take out a group of slavers, the first mate Carver which proved a tough challenge for the two C rank wizards, but they did beat the first mate down and tied him up even taking his swords so he couldnt escape, but as they made their way down to the bottom of the ship, they witnessed it...it was horrible, it was slave after slave in cages this infuriated Kaisto who dropped to his knees but that was when a litle girl, 9 years of age, who clutched his hand, he looked up to her as tears poured down his cheek as he shook his head and cleared his thoughts and him and he and Bastet freed the slaves, now they had to get to Scarlet, after telling the refugees where to go they rushed to the deck and found the crazed captain and 4 more slavers, they fought hard on the deck but eventually subdued the captain, it was a relief, they finally did it and finally gotten the notorious crew off the boat and handed them over to the Rune Knights, but the refugees were wondering...where to now and what next, that was when Kai went above and beyond the call of duty helping those who wanted to find their families with the Rune Knights but not only that he took those wishing to start a new life and everything to follow him and Bastet back to Rose Garden with the Rune Knights to help keep them all safe and heal those in need of assitance, but not only that Kaisto has now actually adopted that little girl, Shizuka Hebi, as his adopted daughter and is even helping her get ready to become part of Golden Phoenix.

Kaisto's Journey is far from over, he wants to keep doing what he does to bring joy and hope to peoples faces, to see new sites that no one woud believe but mainly, he wants to be a good role model and a great father to his daught Shizuka and he hopes he can do more in the future.

Leahndr Aspont wrote:*breathes deeply* alright, here we go...

Character Name: Leahndr Aspont
Guild: Golden Phoenix
Position Wanted: Rising Star #1 or whichever is fitting (shoot for the moon!)
Rank: C Rank (almost B Rank!)
Activity: Active
Why Should Your Character Be....: As a general overview, Leah is a peaceful girl who likes swords but only ever fights when she has to.  She never plays with her food and has strong morals about how it is right to treat other people.  Although she can be lazy at times, almost always one would find her to be hard working and ready to crack down and get to business.  I will now explain why she deserves a position as Rising Star, by talking a little bit about her growth as a mage (therefore in chronological order).

Leah began her journey as a mage in Magnolia Town, where she helped out a boy with his swimming lessons despite the fact that he was a brat and she was deathly terrified of water at the time.  This shows how she prioritizes other peoples' lives over her own, since she expected to die when she could not swim back up to the surface.  However, since she had managed to get the boy out of the water before he could drown, she was ready to die in peace.  It also demonstrates that even if Leah has a great level of self-preservation and definitely does not want to die, she is courageous and can risk her life in situations where it is necessary.  Around that same time, Leah also helped out at a hospital where visitors had donated blood and needed assistance.  The environment was completely new for her, and she also felt unnerved by the fact that one of the patients reminded her of a ghost from her past.  Still, she did her job and got a notice from the Magic Council specifically as gratitude for her efforts.

She definitely does not consider herself to be above helping ordinary people with their problems.  After all, Leah did deliver a love letter to a childhood friend of the sender, and she considers love to be one of the most important things in the world.  This influences her to make good decisions and to always be looking out for people.  Even if something makes her uncomfortable, she will usually try to assist people in any way that's possible because of her conscience and desire to see relationships be built and last.  For example, she was uneasy about impersonating a girl on her first date with a young man, but she did it because she understood how flustered she was and didn't want the relationship to break right away without the two even really getting to know each other.  Shyness can get in the way sometimes but it shouldn't ruin someone's chances.  Furthermore, she chose not to be evil and do what the client didn't want her to do; for example, Leah did not kiss the guy even though she easily could have.

Besides working to improve the lives of the general population of common people, she also is known as something of a celebrity because of her position as Fiore's next top model.  It may sound a bit skeptical at first, but the show revealed how much she genuinely didn't think poorly of the other girls and also was fair in competition.  Not only is this an example of good morals but also tells people that Leah is not completely serious and solemn all the time.  She can laugh and look flirty as well: have you seen those photoshoots?  This competition also got her name out, since it was announced to basically all of Fiore.  Don't think that she's stuck up or super prim all the time, however!  Leah spent days searching for a little kid's pet lion cub out in the forest.  She fell off a cliff, outsmarted the raptors that were hunting her, and struggled against the water (which of course completely freaked her out due to her fear of it).  She also used research to figure out what kind of beetle was inhabiting the Serene Cliffs and eating the other creatures, which shows her ingenuity and problem solving.

Leah can also work with researchers and serious adults, not just those belonging to the celebrity world or that of ordinary folks.  She cooperated with Dr. Geoss and his assistant, Ulla, even though the woman did not like her at all.  It was for the sake of finding an artifact for important research that might enable humans to breathe underwater freely some day.  Another good example of her having to work with adults but by more of an intimidating factor, was when she was hired to guard guests in an inn from a possible murderer.  Although they underestimated her at first, she proved her guts and killed the man who was behind it all.  She also used cool hard logic to dissuade the innocent people from lynching her or arresting her as the murderer.  Instead of killing the chief, who was also innocent but only thought Leah was the criminal, she knocked him out after it was clear that peace was not an answer.

Along with the help of Mashyuu, a mage from Sabertooth, she was able to rescue the citizens who had been captured by a necromancer.  Throughout the entire mission, Leah was especially unnerved because she has no belief in the supernatural, yet there were so many strange things going on that she could barely not believe it.  She fought a horde of zombies, killed the evil giant of a butler using strategy and stealth, and defeated the necromancer in single combat.  The civilians on the rooftop  were saved.  It was an extremely difficult mission and the first that the girl attempted to complete with the aid of another mage, and she learned valuable lessons about trusting other people (such as giving up the knowledge of how her magic works) for the sake of the greater good (completing the mission and saving the innocents).

Determined to not only improve the lives of people in Fiore but also to use her skills in other countries of Earthland, Leah first went to Minstrel.  It was another rescue mission, and the captives were the Townsend family.  Along with Atha, Atma, and Portha, the redhead was successful in saving Sir Townsend and his relatives.  To get through, they had to defeat a band of Earth Magic users, all the while being careful not to damage their cloaks.  This was because the group used espionage and intelligence to avoid the majority of their enemies until they came upon a room, where they searched for information on the dark guild's activities as well as on the location of the captives.  The girls encountered summoners, who they also had to battle.  Then, they faced a teleporation wizard; Leah had to figure out his pattern of attack before she could predict where he was going to be and win the fight.  They saved the Townsends, and Leah was recognized as a formal Musketeer by the government and invited to come back with warm welcome waiting for her.

Next, her adventures took the girl to the Neutral Grounds and then the Pergrande Kingdom.  Here, she proved that she can be trusted with sensitive information and goods.  The entire duration of the job, Leah did not divulge the fact that she was a mage and did not open the parcel.  This preserved the peace with the Pergrande Kingdom and even helped remove some of the reputation that everyone from Fiore is a flashy mage who doesn't value weaponry skills.  Speaking of reputation, Leah cares very much about how her country is regarded to others.  This was part of the reason she traveled so much around this time; it was important to her that Fiore be known to everyone as the amazing place she knew it was.

Next, she journeyed to Ca-Elum, where she answered the call for help and captured a thief.  Since this job was broadcasted to a great many nations in Earthland, it is well known that she finally managed to subdue the thief and complete the assignment.  She also chased him through the streets of the city, which shows her dedication for the law.  Later, she traveled to Bellum in order to help a couple save their son.  Once again, this displays the immense importance she places on love of any kind, be it family love or that between a pair.  She did not do a dumb thing and try to take on 10 A-Rank mages of her own; instead, she went about using a disguise and managed to return the child to his parents without any conflict.

Leah was also trusted to guard cities in Midi on account of the fact that much of the fighting force was called to protect the visiting dignitaries in the capitol.  Although the night went by very peacefully, the fact that she was willing to aid the foreigners and protect complete strangers shows how she extends her desire not to see anybody die even to those she has no relationship with.  Just in general, she hates the waste of life.  However, that does not mean that she is completely opposed to fighting under friendly terms.  Although she considers war or battle to be utterly serious business, Leah understands well that it is necessary to practice in order to remain efficient in combat.  She dueled a young Musketeer from Minstrel like a comrade and won by the judgement of spectators and official referees.  Furthermore, she did it with a weapon she was very unfamiliar with, the rapier, and was unable to use her own ReQuipped arms.  This shows she can adapt to different situations and still create a good outcome.

Even though she went to all of these foreign countries, Leah never lost her humility and willingness to help those that nobody knows of.  In Magnolia Town, she searched for someone she could lend assistance to and found it in the form of children playing tag.  It was hardly an enormous quest or anything even close, but she played with the children to the best of her ability and humored them, being tagged as it for basically the entire time the game lasted with her in it.  This prevented them from getting mad at their friends who left the game for ice cream, and it also shows how she takes time out of her day to have fun and isn't serious all the way through her bones.  Besides that, Leah helped out an elderly mailman who was having trouble delivering his packages because his van had broken down.  Not only did she finish his job for the day but she also accepted the very little reward that he had to offer and did not display the greed that she sometimes does, showing her improvement there.  Also, she gave the man a ride back to the post office and did not just leave him in the middle of the road.  Her mount attracted a great deal of attention even though it was completely unintentional, so she became even more recognizable to everyday people.

Probably most importantly of all, she saved Shirotsume from a fallen angel who was trying to burn the entire mountain town to the ground.  Even though the civilians were frightened and refused to help her aside from a few directions, she went from house to house and warned people that there was a fire and that they needed to get to safety.  After that, Leah ran to get the water to put out the flames herself and ended up having to battle the hellish fire using thing.  Although she won, it was a close call since her javelin's ice magic was slow to act even if it did work in the end.  Then, she used all of her clothes to soak them in water so she could bring it back to the fire; the mage also used all of the garments stored in her extra-dimensional space, pulling out all the stops to prevent the fire from spreading any more.  It was by her extreme effort that the village recognized her as having saved them, and ever person in the town knew her name at the end of her time there.

Leah has also accepted a request made by the magic council to beat Harper Goldenshine to the treasure for the sake of Fiore.  It would be terrible if someone like him got his hands on the powerful magic objects that are in the trove.  Admittedly, she is planning to accept a reward for this mission as well as perhaps one item or something, but it would all be perfectly legal.  This was requested by the Magic Council, and was a famous assignment that was put out to many different mages from all over Fiore.  Although she had a tough time with all of the traps, she held in there and used her wits and her environment (such as the floor, the treasure, the small space) as well as her magic to defeat her opponents.  At the same time, she managed to get more comfortable with people from another guild, Sabertooth, which is important for up and coming mages in order to show good relations between legal guilds.

She's also going treasure hunting with the other mages of Golden Phoenix as well as done more mundane things like helping out a man whose staff abandoned their positions.  Even though it was at a cosplay cafe, she did her best to serve the customers right and did not blow up in temper because of the way she was treated.  

Also, Leah is fighting to prove herself in the realm of the angels that she isn't a demon.  This is not particularly helpful to her reputation, but it shows that she isn't dark and most definitely is ready to prove her good will.  It also shows her strength of heart and how much she tries to use teamwork to solve things even if it isn't her first instinct in any way.  She can also be intelligent and use battle planning to learn from the mistakes and powers of her enemies in order to defeat them.  At the same time, she supports her allies and does her best to keep them alive (in this case, a wizard from another guild who was also one of her friends).  Not only does this also show that she can stand through an almost endless onslaught of fighting, but it also shows her tenacity and ability to hold out and practice self-restraint.  Although in the end Leah did end up killing some of her opponents, (considering there were so many of them that she might have died herself) in the beginning she made an enormous effort to keep every single enemy alive.  That shows that she is learning and trying to keep close to her heart just how great the value of life is.

She also saved a child, Melissa, from evil sun mages who were trying to sacrifice her on top of the Mystical Tower.  Not only did she try to solve things peacefully and without killing unnecessarily (for example, with the non sun mage and non archmage enemies) despite how one of her comrades was itching for a fight, but Leah also tested her skills and bested the head of the cult in duel style combat, one on one.  By doing this, she earned the thanks of the grandmother of the child as well as the parents, but not only that.  Everyone who had had a child taken by the sunny tower or was fooled by the cult at some point of another was grateful, and so were their families as well.

Surprisingly, Leah doesn't do everything for a promised jewel reward.  She followed a mysterious white spirit like thing that told her to go to Kyoka, for the purpose of helping some other mages and also just discovering new things and having some adventures not for the sake of money.  During this time, she battled basically hundreds of wolves and dealt with so many mages in bloodred cloaks that she's sick of the color by now.  The elementalists were a problem as well, but she didn't have that many encounters with them; still, although this was not a famed adventure, it shows her resilience in spirit despite the dark and dreariness of the forest they were teleported to as well as the pretty much never ending barrage of enemies they were faced with.  The spirit wasn't even reliable and continued to flicker in and out of existence, especially disappearing in times of danger or at the start of a bout of fighting.  Still, this did not discourage her and she continued on, defeating the enemies that lurked in wait and managing to collect all three cores along with her comrades (facing all three bosses and winning).

- some threads that don't really involve reputation, in less detail -

She also navigated the busy streets of Hargeon Town to get a passport, ventured to the Neutral Grounds in order to obtain an iLac, and spent an entire day trying to figure out how to recover a missing necklace for someone.  Leah trained with her old teacher and realized how important it was to never regret your actions in the past but to learn from them anyways.  From that encounter, she developed her character immensely and also found closure on what had happened to her when it came to her resurrection after drowning.  She also brought back a shipment of gorgeous roses for a man and did not steal any even though she loves beautiful and shiny things.  Finally, on the way to Ace of Spades, she got caught in a sandstorm but was already in a cave due to her wise decision of not travelling during the hottest part of the day (doing so would have slowed down her travels quite a bit).  She saved another girl from flying out of the cave due to the force of the sandstorm and also led the two to some underground treasure and together with them defeated skeletal warriors, archers, and the leader of the bandits who had tried to rob the grave of the king of pirates.

If this is not acceptable for position #1, I'd like to try for #3 or #4.  I trust your judgement, and if Leah is not ready for any of them then it's time for me to work harder and try again later!
