But how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?
Hyakuji 2.0 Template

Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder
Man and Beast shall be torn asunder

Character Name: Hotaru Takenaka
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Height: 1.83m
Weight: Classified information
Description or Image of Character Appearance:
Hotaru

Occupation: Neo-Photon Lab Assistant/Dawnhost Dominion
Grade Level: N/A
Powers/ Abilities:
  • Nkz'tomah- Hotaru's main method of offense. Nkz'tomah is the sword of the Lost God of Thunder, Iavoi. How it came in Hotaru's possession is a secret she shares with nobody, but the blade is bound to her. Nkz'tomah can be called to Hotaru's hand at any time, generally striking down from the heavens into her hand like a bolt of lightning. However, when stealth is vital, or she is inside, it can be called without so much as a flash. It can also be dismissed at will. If broken, Nkz'tomah remains in Hotaru's hands until dismissed. It takes 2 posts for it to be repaired, after which she can summon it again. Nkz'tomah's true strength comes not from being called and dismissed, though. The blade can generate a strong alternating current of magic electricity. This allows Nkz'tomah to cut through stone with relative ease, provided there is enough force behind the strike. The current can also be extended up to five meters away. Provided that the blade already strikes something, the magical current emulates the vibrations through mysterious forces, cutting beyond the blade's reach for a maximum of five meters. For instance, this allows the 1-meter blade to cut through a 3-meter boulder. This effect only happens if the blade actually makes contact. Hotaru is not capable of cutting things from five meters away. She can only extend an already existing cut. Except for these functions, Nkz'tomah functions as a regular steel sword, 1 meter blade length and 30cm hilt length.

  • Blessing of Iavoi- Hotaru is capable of rather basic electromancy. Most vitally and simply, she can take electricity from electrical outlets and devices from some distance away, though she tends to use the electricity provided by Nkz'tomah. Hotaru can use electromancy in very basic ways, such as redirecting electricity to form lightning bolts.

  • Lightning Rider- Hotaru is capable of moving at incredibly high speed thanks to her connection to Iavoi. If she pushes herself into a sprint, Hotaru can reach 75 km/h. She cannot keep this speed up for long - 10 minutes at the most. 50 km/h is a regular jog for Hotaru, and she can keep this up for a much longer time. This speed is not limited to her legs. In a battle, her swings are swift and carry a lot of force behind them thanks to this enhanced speed.

Equipment You Have:
Communicator- Those things on Hotaru's ears? They're actually removable headphones. Yes, really. Why are they so big, you ask? Well, they have all the functions a modern mobile phone does: calling people, playing music, calculator, and even playing games. It doesn't really have a screen. That's built into the eyepatch she wears. You see, Hotaru still has a fully functional left eye. The back of the eyepatch holds a screen, while the front holds a camera. With a duo of motion sensors in the headphones, Hotaru can project screens in her left eye's vision and control them with hand movements. The eyepatch has every function a regular mobile phone camera would have.

Residency Request:
An apartment bordering on Izanai Park.

Personality Description:
Hotaru is a generally straightfoward person. Be it positive or negative, whatever emotion Hotaru feels is voiced - often loudly. Some consider Hotaru annoying for being such a loud-mouthed woman, while others appreciate this direct, no-nonsense approach. Many a student has already bitten the wrong end of her open disapproval, but an equal amount has experienced her passionate praise of their work.

And coupled with this fiery brashness come fiery emotions. Hotaru is quick to anger and quick to appease. She is a relentless flirt and won't hold back from outing her feelings towards another. To call Hotaru promiscuous would be going far, but she's not above the occasional night of friendly rutting.

For all her quick temper, Hotaru is a generally good-hearted woman. She helps people when she can, regardless of the seriousness of the issue - or the lack thereof. When she can, she provides moral support and compliments, and for all her bluntness she knows when to hold back negative comments.

Hotaru has another side than the loud, blunt woman shown in public, though. Behind the scenes, Hotaru is a Dawnhost Dominion. Trained from childhood, she is a capable infiltrator, a nimble athlete, and a skilled teacher. When it comes down to missions, Hotaru is a silent, patient person; rather the opposite of her usual personality.

Personal History:
Long, long ago, before recorded history, when humanity was still young, in a time called the Age of Dawn, seven great gods roamed the earth. Under their rule, humanity prospered. It rose, it became strong. Their angels led men into battle against the forces of evil, and in the end the power of the Seven shattered evil.

Not much more is known about the Seven. No details, whether they ruled the entire world or simply a part, whether their war is metaphoric or literal. Nothing else. One day, they just... disappeared. They, and their angels. Humanity was left to guide itself, and without the light of the Seven, chaos slithered into the minds of humans, spread like a cancer.

Time passed. Mankind fell into its ways of war and strife, the ways we know even now. Kingdoms rose and fell. The Seven were forgotten by most... but not all.

Through the millennia, the Dawnhost survived. Distant descendants of the original Dawnhost, the elite core of the Seven's human armies, told the stories to their children, who told them on to theirs. Over time, the stories of the Seven Lost Gods started to lose impact. People began to consider them fairy tales. The Dawnhost dwindled... But never died. Today, the memory lingers like the last bits of snow clinging to the shadows as the sun burns above.

What is the Dawnhost's goal, though, you ask? To find the Seven Lost Gods. To give humanity peace once more. To retrieve every piece of remaining technology stemming from the Age of Dawn. Only the third of those goals is making progress. The others are held back by ignorance in both the Dawnhost themselves and those around them. For fear of being seen as lunatics, they works from the shadows.

The host was small, though. Its legacy was mostly passed from parent to child - few are actually recruited later in life. The Dawnhost's leaders decided to spread. To grow.

Enter Hotaru Takenaka. A lifetime of training under the Dawnhost instilled her with a sense of purpose. She showed great promise, and at age 18 entered the order as a full member. There was little that made her stand out, other than her brash personality. One day, however, Hotaru came back from an expedition, clutching a blade to her chest. A blade recognized from the old tales, a blade that was supposed to be lost. Nkz'tomah. The weapon of one of the Seven Lost Gods: Iavoi, god of thunder and rain, god of harvests, god of autumn. No matter how much they pried, no matter what they tried, no matter how far they went, Hotaru refused to tell a word about how she had found the sword. The usually-loud woman said not a word for a week after returning.

From that day on, though, Hotaru's performance skyrocketed. At age 25, Hotaru was promoted to a Dominion - a high rank in the Dawnhost that allowed the holder to become the leader of a full regional order. The Dawnhost was always weak in the oriental region, and Hotaru was tasked to set up an order in Japan.

She was to spread the word of the Seven Lost Gods. To find promising people who could help with finding the gods and their angels. What place was better for that than Hyakuji? To remain close to its nexus, the source of all those potential recruits, Hotaru took a job at the school as a Laboratory Assistant for the Neo-Photon Lab.

However, in this town of strange events, an ancient evil stirs. Is their presence around Hotaru, the holder of one of the Seven's relics, a coincidence, or is this mysterious force of darkness there for her...?

Mashed Potatoes?
