Subject 002300. Code Named: Legato.

The Subject’s behavior is a strange mixture of predatorily snake and child-like mischief. He is very inquisitive about things that he doesn’t understand and is able to grasp concepts quickly. When dealing with people the subject will often observe them for a time before acting or trying to interact with them. This could some residual shyness from Eduard. Further observation on human interaction is needed.

The subject has also developed certain habits that resemble human behavior. He has an almost bibliophilic love of books and reading and will often shut out all outside noise and disturbances until he has finished reading. He also shows a dislike of wearing shoes and other foot wear, especially socks, and will go without them if he can.

Homunculi have tougher and more durable bodies than normal human’s do. Legato’s body can endure more punishment that his lithe form would lead you to believe. Its takes roughly 8 pounds of pressure to break the human collar bone and 168 newtons to snap a human neck. For Legato, it’d take 16 pounds of pressure to break his collar bone and 336 newtons to break his neck. This means that you’d need to use twice the amount of pure force to snap Legato’s neck.

To put this in layman’s terms, Legato’s body can take more punishment than the average human’s. To give a visual image, it would be like the difference between a boxer and a regular human, Legato representing the former. He has a higher tolerance for pain and would be able to last longer than a normal person who could be knocked out in one hit. He could get hit by a small car going about 15 mph and get up and walk away fine.

Legato has demonstrated the ability to freely transform between a serpent form and his normal, human-like form. When he does this he 'sheds' his current 'skin' by opening his mouth incredibly wide as his new form crawls out, leaving behind the lifeless husk of his former self. This husk will decompose rapidly and be gone within 48 hours after shedding, depending on weather conditions. The transformation itself takes two minutes to complete and Legato can only transform after spending at least ten minutes in whatever form he's in.

Legato's serpent form is not one of any specific species but does share characteristics of both pythons an boas. In this form he becomes a snake totaling six feet and five inches in length from the head to the tip of the tail and roughly one foot and six inches in diameter down the main body. He weighs a total of fifteen pounds in this form. His scales are a pale white color and he retains the purple bands from his human form. In snake form the bands split in two, going from a total of three to six, and are located at the base of his 'neck', center of his body, and the start of his tail.

Instead of hollow, venomous fangs Legato's mouth becomes full of sharp teeth designed not to chew prey but to hold it in place as he swallows it. There are sixty six teeth in total. These fangs combined with his jaw strength allow him to easily hold smaller creatures in place and hold slightly larger animals with some effort. He also gains a set of pits between his nostrils and eyes. These pits allow him to sense heat from other beings in the area, giving him a sixth sense that works akin to infrared vision. This new sense allows him to sense heat waves within his environment that stand out from the temperature of the rest of the area. The range of this heat sensitivity depends on the object giving off the heat itself. If it is a small creature such as a rabbit then Legato would only be able to sense its heat for roughly 5 feet. A larger creature that gave off more heat, such as a human, could be sensed for double that range. Larger bodies of heat such a buildings with heating could be tracked blocks away.

In addition to this his body also gains several features common to various snake species. He can move at a maximum of twelve miles per hour at optimal conditions and eight miles per hour when tired. As a trade off for losing his arms and legs he gains the ability to collect scents on his forked tongue and pass them along to a Vomeronasal organ to process. The scales on his body become more sensitive to vibrations on the ground and, to an extend, in the air. With this he can detect and track other creatures through the vibrations they create as they move. He can track vibrations within a sphere with a ten foot radius of his stationary position. He can easily raise the first foot of his body off the ground and even climb up trees by manipulating his body muscles.

Since Legato becomes something akin to a python in this form he does gain the ability to constrict around prey to kill it. In this form he is strong enough to coil around the full torso of a grown human male and constrict to the point where his chest cannot expand and his lungs cannot take in air. It would take inhuman strength to force him off. A normal human would have to grab both his tail and his head and uncoil him before he constricts to the point where that becomes impossible.

Certain bodily conditions are transferred when Legato changes forms while others are not. Poisons, toxins, and others things that effect the body from within are carried over when Legato changes from one form to another. Physical wounds are not transferred but are still retained. If Legato gets cut or breaks a bone in his human form his snake form will not take any sort of damage, but when he returns to his human form his body shall be in the same condition he left it in. Wounds do not heal while he's in a different form, so it is not possible for him to remain in one form and wait for the other to be completely healed before he changes back. When he returns to a previous form it will be in the exact condition he left it in.

By controlling his transformation between human and serpent forms Legato can take on a hybrid state commonly referred to as a naga. In this form he retains his human torso but everything below his waist becomes a snake’s tail, extending his body’s length to 6’ 3”. The tail is pale white in color and is covered in scales. There is a rattle that is composed of a series of nested, hollow beads which are actually modified scales from the tail tip. Currently, Legato has two beads below the top bead known as the button. This transformation takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete.

• Legato’s body has a total length of 6’3”
  
• His tail has a total of two beads below the tip.
  
• In this form his nails grow longer, his canines become more fang-like, and his hair grows longer. These have no more combat use than they did before
  
• The full transformation takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete.
  
• Legato’s lower torso must be free of obstacles to transform. This can include certain clothing materials.
  
• In this for Legato loses his enhanced durability from Alchemic Body.
  
• Any wounds sustained in this form take longer to heal than normal, at least a day extra.
  
• Legato can reach a top speed of 20 mph and sustain it for 15 minutes before needing to rest.
  
• Legato’s tail is only dexterous enough to be slammed into near by objects, this is no stronger than a basic punch. He cannot do this while moving.
  
• In this form he has a “standing” height of 5’.
  
• In this form Legato is strong enough to constrict around the torso of a 140 lb 16 year old male without restricting their breathing to the point of suffocation.
  
• Legato cannot make sharp turns easily in this form. He has to slow down to between 10 mph and 13 mph to make a turn without loosing his balance. If he tries to take a turn going at full speed then he will slip up an fall 10 times out of 9.

Located on each of Legato’s wrists as well as around his neck are a set of scales that form “bands”. By manipulating his DNA Legato can cause these scales to grow and cover the skin of his hands, forearms, neck, and shoulders. Each scale is roughly a sixteenth of an inch thick and is made exactly like a snake scale. The scales are pure white with the bands retaining their purple color. The scales that form over his fingers resemble claws rather than normal fingers and are just as sharp.

While the scales may appear to be normal reptile scales they are in fact modified to be a strong as half an inch of hardened iron. The scales themselves work like harden skin. Legato can still feel with them but pain is dulled for him. A punch from a normal human would feel like a poke from a finger against the scales. Getting punched by someone with super strength would feel more like a regular punch. A bullet from a gunshot would have no problem piercing the scales and causing the same kind of damage as it normally would against a non armored foe.

Weapons and the like vary on the material the weapon is made of. An average person hitting the scales with a wooden bat would find that it does not effect them. However continued strikes would eventually cause pain to Legato though the bat is likely to crack and break as a result of striking it against such a hard surface. A weapon like a steel rod on the other hand would hurt like getting punched very hard. Bladed weapons can cut through the scales but only if they are strong enough to cut through normal iron.

The scales do nothing to protect against energy and elemental attacks. They can still be burned like regular skin and Legato is still effected by varying temperatures as he normally would. As with all types of reptile scales these leave Legato vulnerable to attacks that slip between the scales themselves.

The claws that form around on his fingers and thumbs have the average cutting power of sharpened tools of the same build and hardness. They could easily cut through flesh with proper force but are less effective against stronger materials. Against something like sturdy wood they would only leave shallow scratches.

Legato is able to consciously activate these scales twice in one twenty four hour period for up to fifteen minutes at a time. After this limit is up his body forcibly reverts back to its original state and he must wait a full twenty minutes to use the scales again. In a state of calm Legato can cover his maximum area for scales (forearms, hands, neck, and collar bone) in roughly thirty seconds. In a stressful situation the transformation is slower, taking up to about five minutes depending on the situation.

For some unknown reason, Legato's tongue forks and becomes like that of a true snake when he activates this power. The tongue gains no new abilities and serves no new purpose yet.

Serpent Fang is derived from various schools of martial arts, with the emphasis being on Snake Style Kung Fu. It functions by using the hands in the same way a serpent would use its fangs and tail, one hand to attack and one to defend.

At its basic level the user knows how to make quick strikes with their fang hand to inflict damage to an opponent. The tail hand is also used for quick strikes but it is normally kept close to the body for defensive means. Combined with a knowledge of the body’s weak spots it is obvious that this style is meant to take someone down from the inside out, similar to how a snake’s venom would work.

The main weakness of Serpent Fang is that it is not a physically dominant style. Many of the strikes are open palm and use the tips of the fingers, at the basic level the user cannot do any serious harm with just striking alone. However, if the user posses knowledge of pressure points and weak areas on the body the true beauty in this style shines through. The speedy moments of the fang hand and tail hand make it ideal for speedy fighters.

At Legato’s level of mastery he relies mostly on the fang side of the style. He uses his finger tips to make quick jabbing attacks on an opponent. These attacks are meant to disorient a target and keep them from getting closer. If he wants to attack with more power he can use open palmed strikes to force someone away. Due to his level of experience with Serpent Fang, Legato can keep up a fight for only a short period. At 15 minutes of non-stop fighting he'd be extremely tired, if he pushes himself to 20 minutes then he'd most likely pass out from fatigue.

This upgrade to the standard poly linguistic enlightenment and service extension device can either be purchased through credits or earned by participating in board events. Like it's predecessor, it uses a combination of Bluetooth technology and a unique brand of communication magic; but this time around a psionic energy crystal has been added to expand its capabilities. Using the latest Magic Technology (MT for short), the psionic crystal removes all translation delay from known languages, making seamless understanding finally possible. That would not even be the tip of the iceberg's weight worth of new abilities the PLEASED 2.0 includes.

Technical Specs:

-Psionic Visual Translation Device (PVTD): Grants the user the ability to actually read any of the languages that the PLEASED can translate via Psionic enhancement of the brain and mind

Psionic Neural Enhancement: The PLEASED 2.0 far out rivals the predecessor by subconsciously training the mind to become fluent in languages that an individual is reading or hearing. This does take some time to build upon, but most early testing shows that it takes roughly five weeks for a constant wearer to comprehend written and spoken words as their own native language.

-Linguistic Adaptation: The new PLEASED may learn previously unknown languages (alien languages, ancient languages) by entering this new mode. Linguistic Adaptation is activated by pressing the small button on the bottom of the unit (the button closest to the ear). Linguistic Adaptation will normally enable the PLEASED begin to translate new languages within 8-10 spoken sentences. For best results, the PLEASED should be used to both read and listen to a new language for a period of three days.

-Nano Neural Delay: The old PLEASED units take .5 seconds to translate what is being spoken, while these new units take less than a nanosecond.

-Intercommunication: The call button on the new PLEASED actually grants the ability to open a communication relay with anyone else who has a 2.0, within a hundred mile radius. The 2.0s broadcast this through a high definition frequency projected by the new magic crystal adapted as their engine. To call someone, all that is required is to think of what they look like or who they are. Naturally, the better you know someone, the faster the PLEASED 2.0 can find them (via searching your brain waves) and open a channel. Incoming calls are also received through pressing the button, and a soft high frequency chime sounds off to notify that you are receiving a call.

-Conference Calling: Up to twenty individuals can call and communicate between each other at once in crystal clear resolution. Like making a regular call, the person simply needs to concentrate on all the people that they want to reach. Recipients of a call can also connect other people on the line, up to twenty

-Magic Frequency Modulation (MFM): This is the broadcast frequency that all calls use, which utilizes a shifting modulated warble frequency to prevent traced calls and bugs from listening in. This also means that users cannot interfere or even detect calls between other users.

Psionic Magic Tech Crystal (PMTC): The power and drive behind the circuitry of the new PLEASED, the psionic energy enhancement recharges itself through an internal mini-fusion reaction when not in use, and when in use it utilizes brain waves as a constant charge. Thus, the unit never has to be plugged or have a battery replaced. This crystal scans, interacts, and enhances the brainwaves of any human level intelligent creature to constantly provide support

Aesthetically, it's either blue or red pending on your school colors and clips onto the ear as if a wireless cellphone accessory. The rough draft prototype image can be found in the following link

A small, palm sized handheld is the newest piece of technology developed by Mr. Grimm. Small enough to fit in one's pocket, once it opens, the touch pad within can extend to become a full holographic keyboard, so the small size is useful for transportation but does not limit its function. The top part of the screen will normally project a high definition LED image, while the bottom projects a keyboard for typing (in any language that you specify). The integrated circuits within the computer automatically update and run at speeds that match top computers on the public market. Rumored to have up to 3 terabytes of storage space, the NICAM is not only the world’s smallest laptop, but one of the most robust. The nanofiber material is waterproof, rebounds from being crushed or crumpled, produces no heat, and will repair itself within 24 hours if torn. The batteries within the unit are solar powered and only need thirty minutes of sunlight to run for nine hours without stopping. It also comes equipped with school wide wifi, and can connect to other wireless networks like a regular computer. It does also serve as a media center, one can layout the NICAM on a flat surface and use the holographic projector to watch movies on wide screen, read books, listen to music (speaker systems included within the computer), or even use a tablet style function to draw or take notes.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of this nanofiber technology is that it can still read disc media just by pressing the information side of the disc against the touch screen, and can form a miniature integrated USB port for thumb drives or other attachments. When asked how it works, Dr. Grimm stated he used different types of magically altered nanites that would mimic evotelluric DNA to be capable of mutating at high speeds to form what the user desires through selecting an application. It always begins in laptop form, but the touch of a button can change all that. These units are not only Bluetooth capable, but link into the PLEASED 2.0 to accept mobile commands, and even do video chat with other friends who have the 2.0!

NICAM. Applications:

NICAM Messenger: This application links to the PLEASED 2.0 (Ani. A. PLEASED 2.0) and posterior versions and allows the user to hold video conferences, and text messages in real time, having the receiver see a transparent screen on his mind with a reminder that there is a new message or a conference coming. For this to work, there has to be an available Wi-Fi or internet connection. This can also be used to hold holographic video conferences by setting the closed NICAM down on the ground a few feet in front of you and letting the hologram projector take care of the work.

Bio-Scanner: With this application, the NICAM can scan a being using its camera. For now, it can only provide data on known beings, however to grow it's database it can take samples of a being and send the information collected from them to the Research and Development team for future analysis, with the corresponding credit to the NICAM user for it's discovery.

Book Scanner: Using this application, you simply place a book open to the middle pages in front of the NICAM and face the holographic projector towards it. It will then scan the book over a period of a minute and transfer the contents in to the reading application found within the computer. This allows for easy reading on the go, however does not work on magical texts. Can store as many books as the user wants and cuts down on the weight of transportation.

Sacai: Shizuka

 

[Shizuka:] Shizuka is what happens when you mix a maid with a secretary. She is obedient and loyal to her master, but not always submissive. The best way to describe her would be as a sort of older sister. She is as quick to fulfill an order as she is to chastise her “master” for misdeeds. Though she can be harsh on people she forgives easily and doesn’t like to hold a grudge.

External size: 24 liters
Internal size: A 2m x 3m x 5m room, with options for shelves and other such organization.
Weight multiplier: .1
Aesthetics: The bag comes in the shape of a purse, a laptop bag/messenger bag, or a backpack.

A black Japanese style High School Bag. There is a detachable strap for carrying the bag over your shoulder and a latch on the outside to lock the bag.

The only type of Halloween night light for the students of the dual campus! Though created from a real basketball sized pumpkin, the Evernight Jack'o'lanturn will never rot, catch on fire, or require an energy source to stay lite whenever the room gets dark. These magical creations can be turned off with a simple double clap whenever the tired tricker treater wishes for true darkness. Though originally enchanted to hold more space, after expelling its presents the Jack'o lantern can only hold how much would fit in it in real life. Rumor has it a 'trick or treater' expansion to make it a Bag of Holding for you candy is in the works at the R&D department. Interestingly enough, whenever the lantern 'lights up' in a dark room, those who can see it will always feel the slightest shudder. Whether this is the magic activating or the realization that a creepy pumpkin is watching you is still up for debate.

Legato has two memory charms in the shape of a necklaces that look like this, these objects records up to five hours of events from the user's memory and then can project them for the user or anyone else around them to see. They will be able to walk around the memory to the farthest extent that the user was conscious of however, only being able to perceive what was perceived by the wearer. However, the human mind picks up much more detail than we can actually recall, leading these memories to be rather detailed.

The best recording will happen when the user is actually wearing the charm, as it will record the events more accurately, however someone can choose to take an old memory and imprint it on the charm. This leaves the possibility of their own mind making changes to the memory however. To activate, any participants in the memory must be touching the charm or the wearer and willingly activate it, thus an unwilling party can not be drawn in to the memory. It leaves them in a dream like state where they witness the memory in their mind. At any point, someone could remove themselves by simply 'waking up', which is an easy process to do.

A more durable and enhanced uniform with multiple benefits, these new clothes are built from the trademarked watercloth. The fabric closely resembles a liquid in its properties. It is silken and soft to the touch, but is also somewhat thick and surprisingly heavy. While it maintains its form like any fabric would, unlike any fabric, it can be pierced by most anything with an edge and moderate force, but, after it is removed/passes entirely through, the watercloth resumes its previous form with no perceivable damage remaining. It offers nothing in the way of protection, but is warm and sturdy as far as tearing is concerned.

These uniforms not only notate which school you attend, but the mystic gems on them enhance one's learning capabilities toward their primary magic principle or designation. Any power that falls under one's primary magic principle or designation has a reduced less credit to earn (see table below). This means that you will be required to choose (at the time of requesting your purchase) ONE single branch of your character's powers to improve. For mages this means either a focus upon a single element or a type of magic (summon, destruction, so forth). Skills or even a piece of equipment could be chosen, but we recommend giving yourself enough space to use this uniform a few times. Your selection will become your new Primary Magic Principle or Designation You may shift your primary magic principle or designation once a year after obtaining this uniform. Remember, your PMP or designation does not need to be the cornerstone of your character as a whole, but it should represent a part of them. This can also help with moving toward major enhancements, in fact the uniform's best savings kick in with more expensive purchases.

Note: Buying one will allow you to have a pack on you at all times (aka not a one time use item).
A stick of gum that expands a person's short-term memory. It appears to be a simple 5-pack of chewing gum, hidden as any retail brand found in stores, but when chewed, the person's short-term memory improves in several ways. For one, instead of lasting an average of twenty seconds, the memory lasts for forty seconds. Second, the capacity increases from seven items to fourteen. In essence, the stick of gum doubles short-term memory. However, a single stick of gum only lasts for five minutes before the magic effects fade away leaving you with an ordinary stick of gum. On the other hand, a person can chew another stick of gum to "extend" the effects. Since the memory sticks are sold in 5-packs, the effect can last for a total of twenty-five minutes. This is especially useful for Magi as it enhances the ability to cast magic by making it easier for the Magi to memorize incantations and the like. It can also allow for a certain level of multicasting. By this, the magi can line up spells back-to-back to be cast in succession assuming the spells in question require a series of steps to perform.

However, the gum doesn't allow the user to surpass their natural limitations in terms of the energy required and how often the spell can be cast per day. Because of magic imprinting, the gum cannot be shared with others. The multicasting feature is limited to two successive spells per day.

The Prefect Badge: Given at the achievement of Member of the Month to 1 of the member's characters, this badge reduces the cost of redeeming Credits by 1 (effectively subtracting 1 Credit from the Credits needed to purchase upgrades/new powers) until removed or destroyed. Removal and destruction applies after 6 uses (redemption) or twelve months after receiving the item. Lightweight gold and fastened with a pin, it bears a capital 'P' and the Prefect's name on a plate below. Cannot be traded or transferred to other characters.
Note: A player may be in possession of only one of this item at any time.

Number of Redemptions: 5

This magical dish is broad enough to serve as a plate, and deep enough to hold soup if you don't mind scraping the bottom a bit with your spoon. This plate is special is that it is magically enchanted to be able to instantly heat any leftovers to the perfect temperature (perfect being subject to the opinion of the owner, of course). It never burns, never overheats, never makes anything soggy, and the outside of the plate is comfortably cool to the touch. Best of all, the plate is self-cleaning; as soon as its owner has finished eating, and scraped off any further leftovers, it will automatically clean and sanitize itself.

Note that the plate does not heat up anything still living, be it animal or plant, and that no further enchantments can be added on to it.
