Takeshi (Loner)
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Theme: Dah’ren Mohran Part 2
Appearance, untransformed: Blonde hair a few inches past shoulder length, with the occasional curl. Somewhat lean facial structure, angular without being particularly harsh. Bleached blonde hair, with brown eyes. He possesses a fairly average, somewhat lean build, and is neither particularly athletic nor particularly out-of-shape. His features are fairly expressive, and emotions on his face are rarely difficult to perceive. Often dresses in fairly plain clothes, with a fondness for layers; he feels exposed without at least a jacket on. Usually spotted wearing well-worn jeans, with a combination of a solid white tee, sweatshirt, and jacket, with variances depending on the weather.

Appearance, transformed: Long, thick silver hair that defines part of his silhouette, with almost winglike layers, descending to just over his hips. Facial structure remains the same, but eyes turn an unusual (and recognizably unnatural) shade of teal. He gains several inches in height, and his build becomes far more athletic. Like everyone with a contract, his wardrobe varies based on his emotions when he transforms, but many elements remain fairly consistent. Black predominates, as all basic elements of the wardrobe are black with silver accents. He wears a long black cloak, occasionally with even longer tails. When exerting magical power, a bright teal color shows, trailing the relevant motions and any objects or attacks manipulated with this power.

Personality: Overemotional, like most people selected for contracts. Has good ideas, but rarely takes the time to quite think them through. Quite impulsive. Somewhat naive. Loyal, but not overly friendly. Can be harsh at times.

Weapons of choice: Normally a ridiculously long sword, with a light machine gun for less energy-intensive offense.

Kouta (Protector; Special Rank)
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Theme: Ancestral Steppe Battle
Appearance: Quite short, even for his age, with green hair that he is just beginning to grow out. High, almost faint voice. Surprisingly fit, however, though his raw strength is lacking due to his slight frame. Somewhat large brown eyes.
Personality: Matches his appearance; nervous and shy. Sticks to Noriko like glue, and doesn’t mind her commanding presence. Likes simple things, and despite his shy personality is quite fun-loving and brave if the situation calls for it.
Appearance, transformed: Lightly armored, with a chestplate and bracers. Appears to have wings made of a nearly transparent green crystal. A less transparent version adorns the edges of his armor, and creates a crest on the chestplate that resembles a snowflake. Otherwise, tight-fitting jeans and a long-sleeved shirt lie underneath the armor, with high leather boots.
Weapon of choice: A bow about ¾ of his height that is materialized, though it is often used as a focus rather than to actually launch projectiles. Uses a knife that he carries with him as well.

Noriko (Protector; Commander)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Theme: Numquam vincar
Appearance: Bright, but not light, blue hair and eyes, with a stern face and voice to match. Slightly taller than average for a woman, and quite physically strong. Her hair is kept fairly short, with practicality in mind over form. Usually dresses simply in jeans and a white shirt, with a plain brown jacket if the weather demands.
Personality: Practical and highly intelligent, with little patience for those she does not see as such. Appears cold and uncaring, but this is mostly a product of her businesslike tone and attitude; she actually cares deeply for her subordinates, particularly Kouta.
Appearance, transformed: Her hair grows into two long braids that intertwine and separate as they are blown by her wind abilities. She wears a non-restrictive dress that almost looks like elongated leaves, or scales, overlapping slightly with a blue-bordered white coloration. It splits in the center to reveal black pants that end mid-shin, and she is barefoot. Notably, she floats slightly off the ground.
Weapon of choice: Four large spears that she materializes.

Masaru (Protector; Lieutenant)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Theme: Seregios Battle
Appearance: Short-cropped dark hair and eyes and a nose that shows evidence of being broken at least once. Very muscular and tall, with musculature closer to a bodybuilder rather than the slimmer builds of many mages. Tends to wear very plain clothes.
Personality: Easily bored and not one for intellectual pursuits. Not unintelligent, but prefers simple, direct solutions to problems. Said solution is typically killing the problem before it bothers anyone. A bit sadistic at times.
Appearance, transformed: Appears to be dressed in armor made from the hides of various creatures, augmented with metal plates that are prominent about the shoulders and hips. Armored band runs over his forehead rather than a full helm.
Weapon of choice: A large axe that looks impossibly heavy, with a long blade that runs straight back downward. Also occasionally uses bursts of flame. Mixes weapon attacks with punches, kicks, and throws.

Haruto (Preserver; Commander)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Theme: Tigrex Battle
Appearance: Tall, with short and somewhat clumsily cropped brown hair. Green eyes that seem to burn with a sort of inner flame, and a very athletic physique. He has a few scars across his body from various fights.
Personality: Zealous. Protecting magical beasts is a task he places above even his own survival. He can be slightly offputting and tends to neglect the well-being of his inferiors. Arrogant.
Appearance, transformed: Gains an inch or two and is covered from head to toe in a full suit of what appears to be ornate steel plate, from the golden age of knights. A long, scarlet scarf wraps around his neck and trails behind him.
Weapon of choice: Lance and shield, with a broadsword for when the lance is impractical. Uses rough, primal energy blasts at range. One of the only mages to have successfully tamed a magical beast for use as a mount: it appears to be a wyvern with feathered wings and a large, heavy head with powerful jaws. The forelimbs are quite developed, allowing it to fly and run on all fours.

Hikaru (Preserver; Lieutenant)
Age: 18
Gender: Non-binary
Theme: White Fatalis Battle
Appearance: Middling height, with an athletic but not bulky build. White hair is kept neatly at medium length. Bright blue eyes with a piercing quality to them. Often dresses in a somewhat formal manner, with black slacks and a white button-up shirt being common.
Personality: Calm and solemn. Speaks in a smooth, even tone. Quite intelligent, but would rather not deal with others if possible. Critical, but not harsh. Surprisingly conflict-averse despite this. Wants to help people, and is deeply concerned about the direction the Protectors are moving.
Appearance, transformed: Wears a traditional-looking jinbaori, though it is entirely white (samurai wear, essentially). Hair grows to waist-length and seems to be stirred by a faint wind at all times.
Weapon of choice: Wields a thin, light blade, but primarily relies on lines of energy that function as slashing and piercing weapons as well as ropes or chains.

???
(Peacekeeper; Commander)
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Theme: Deviljho
Appearance: Ragged, brown and black hair that partially covers green eyes that are somewhat sunken. Very skinny, but with powerful muscles. Often wears clothing to obscure his physical appearance. Middling height.
Personality: Gives off a weary, timeworn impression. Further contact reveals a smoldering, passionate individual, with a deep hatred of mages. There is no incident in particular that caused this; he simply believes that the current system is outdated and corrupt, and that all existing magi - along with most Mediators alive - should be killed.
Appearance, transformed: Enveloped in white robes and a hood that shadows his face, while his eyes glow underneath. Loose black pants can be seen during aerial maneuvers.
Weapon of choice: Twin glowing blades that are perfectly straight. Their color and length vary depending on what they are being used for.

Mihra (Loner)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Theme: Alatreon
Appearance, untransformed: Short, but fairly well-kept, brown hair and piercing green eyes. Athletic and average height. Facial features lend themselves to a somewhat stern appearance, with a smallish chin and high cheekbones. Dresses in jeans and a jacket, sticking to exclusively muted colors. Deep voice, for a woman.

Appearance, transformed: Dressed, in essence, like a gunslinger right out of a Western, with a heavy, tattered cloak obscuring much of her bodily proportions and wrapped completely around her. Wears fingerless gloves made of a similar brown cloth to the rest of the outfit.

In the second phase of her transformation, the cloak unfurls into a pair of massive golden wings, and she is dressed in silver and golden armor that is light but strong, lacking much embellishment beyond its innate shine. Combat ability is greatly improved in this phase. The wings spread out in a nearly circular shape, separated into three parts on either side, and fold into a mantle when not in use. They often flare upward when powerful attacks or maneuvers are used.

Personality: Strong and independant, bordering on hostility at some times. Not a team player. Believes in helping others, sacrifice, and loyalty in the abstract, but does not easily form relationships with others. Views herself as the guardian of everyone in the city. Brave and fierce, without letting this affect her considerable skill.

Weapons of choice: A finely made but simply designed revolver that fires powerful energy blasts, as well as firing them from her palms. Has the ability to use up as much or as little of her own energy as she chooses in an attack, and will expend all of it to perform the Enduring Sacrifice attack.

Name: Esfir Vasilyev
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Species: Voron

Stats:

Strength: 4 (How strong you are, and your physical exertion capacity)
Intelligence: 6 (How smart you are, and how far your mind can be pushed)
Agility: 1 (How fast you are, and your capacity to run)
Dexterity: 3 (How coordinated you are, and your accuracy with both melee and ranged weapons)
Wisdom: -2 (How much you know about the world, and your ability to reason with people)
Perception: -1 (How good you are at seeing past the surface, and your ability to search)
Charisma: -1 (How convincing you are, and your ability to speak to people)

Personal Information: Esfir is a member of a race of raven-like humanoids from a highly volcanic planet. They have high body temperatures and large wings that allow them to take advantage of the thermals and geysers in their home environments, though they're a bit too heavy to actually achieve true flight without assistance. Still, they're a bit lighter and more fragile than humans due to their bone structure being adapted for flight. They're a relatively young race, having only recently reached the stars in the grand scheme of things, and as a species they seek to make their impression on the universe as a whole.

Esfir herself is . . . somewhat of a strange case. She's a genius when it comes to mechanics and has shown such for a long time, but is frightfully naive at times, and seems to have her mental capacity occupied at all times by thoughts and calculations relating to her machinery. She went to school for engineering (focused on shipbuilding and nuclear tech), and was going to be sent out as a representative of her race, when tragedy struck. She was caught in a machine and lost most of her right arm along with her right foot, and it was thought that her future spacefaring career had ended. Instead, it was taken as an opportunity to display the technical expertise of the Voron people. She was fitted with an advanced set of cybernetic prosthetics, powered by an experimental miniaturized fusion reactor. Her cybernetic arm has multiple attachments, including a hand for fine work, a less precise but stronger hand for general use, and an attachment that acts as both a welding torch and a potent energy cannon for self-defense.

Esfir is a somewhat tall, shapely woman whose most striking features are the pair of wings adorning her back and her cybernetic limbs, whose powerplant is mounted around her chest and back but usually hidden by layers of thick clothing - though the power for her prosthetics produces a fair amount of heat, it's not enough to keep her comfortably warm most of the time. She likes to wear green bottoms and white tops, sometimes with decorative patterns, and a large hair ribbon. Her hair is black and extends a fair distance past her shoulders, and her eyes are a dark red color.
