Hanabi's Sabbath

Hanabi's Sabbath
➀A recent picture of your Sabbath members...
The style of clothes differ between whether a mamono or onii-chan wishes to pursue physical or magical arts, with special protections being sewn into the clothes themselves to help dull the impact of both magical impacts and physical strikes, and in some cases both.

Physical fighters often wear a foreign style of clothing known as a qipao, which is an ornamental dress with two long strips in both the back and front of the pelvic region. This dress gives freedom of movement to both the upper and lower portions, though it also carries the side effect of distracting opponents (onii-chans!) through the revelation of skin and the shine of the dresses ornamental patterns through movement, which can be used to plant pivotal strikes in critical moments, and has in fact been incorporated into many a mamono's fighting style (including mine!).

Magic users often wear frilled, bedazzled, or loose-fitting skirts, much to the same effect. The clothing is useful for keeping movement as open as possible which is useful for dodging spells as quickly as possible, and the clothing also reduces air resistance when falling or flying, while providing the same benefit of leaving opponents potentially distracted during critical moments with the flashing of a mamono's most treasured spots.

Hanabi is a head height smaller than average, thin and lean, with a body that often leads other Representatives to nickname her "Wiry Mouse" due to her resemblance to the "Large Mouse" species in terms of stature, and energy.

Hanabi does in fact have spiked horns, that curl out and backward and end in a loop behind her ears. She has solid red hair, which she keeps in two braided ponytails all of the time so it doesn't get in the way of fighting.

She has a fierce expression like she's always going to beat you up (I do not!), and her body can actually light on fire when she's angry or excited (the science is boring... you wouldn't want to hear it...)

Please include any common names as well.
Hanabi Sabbath (Common name: Firework or Combat Sabbath)

③The symbol of your Sabbath...
Please include the symbol mark of your Sabbath.
A symbol of a smaller than typical goat skull smiling wickedly, with a wreath of fire embedded between the horns themselves, and the horns themselves being spiked all of the way down to the edges.

④The names of your representative baphomet...
Hanabi, the "Fire Flower" Baph of Mutual Combat

⑤ Activity details…
Helping onii-chans and other monsters reach the pinnacle of their physical or magical abilities, and providing a safe (and fun!) place for them to do so.

⑥ Typical races...
Races that prefer combat such as ogres, Salamanders, Orcs, and Onis, but also races that are gifted either magically or physically such as Dark Mages, Liches, or Dragons, though there are also races outside these ones that may join if they feel the desire to grow stronger, such as Papillons or Mermaids.

➆ “To you...”
My body is on fire, onii-chan… maybe after we're done training, you can help me with a different type of "sparring"...~

⑧ Sabbath particulars...
A Sabbath sect focused entirely on fostering the passion of combat between mankind and mamono.

Representatives in this Sabbath engage with other monsters or their onii-chans in multiple forms of dueling, such as sword training, martial arts, and magic competitions. The purpose is to hone one's skills to become the best warrior or spellcaster one can possibly become, but since the head Baphomet has recognized that process is very tiresome if done alone (don't you know it!), this process is designed so it can be achieved better with a partner, or even better one's lover (let's not talk about lovers…).

Many representatives come to this Sabbath hoping to prove their strength or demonstrate how tough they can be as individuals, though there's a particular focus on performance and coordination rather than brute strength at this Sabbath. The head Baphomet has recognized that many monsters possess physical capacities that put them above other monsters (and humans!), but style is entirely centered around the individual, and thus a way to keep things fair for all involved, while also demonstrating one has focus, dedication to their training, and creativity in being able to handle situations absent raw strength alone (plus, it looks better to onii-chan!).

As it happens, physical combat sessions are often intense, passion-filled bursts to see who can land the first definitive strike on another, often going on for several minutes between trained individuals. Magic combat sessions are similar, and often battle sessions become their own light shows as dozens or even hundreds of magic attacks fill the sky, though for seasoned individuals even attacks numbering in the close to thousands are easy to maneuver through.

Afterwards, representatives typically engage in heavy love-making sessions, since such intense battles usually consume intense amounts of demonic energy. Competitions are hosted regularly between both onii-chan and mamono, so that they can prove how much they've grown both creatively and personally, with even the head Baphomet herself joining in on the activities on occasion (It's not like I like fighting, or anything…).

⑨ A word from baphomet...
My name, is Hanabi!

I like fighting a whole lot, but I haven't been able to find anyone who's able to match me in combat! That's why I created this Sabbath, to make sure that I- I mean, other monsters can engage in hot, fiery combat sessions with onii-chan and themselves, so they can build each other up to the height of their potential!

I myself am a smaller than average Baphomet, though I'm unnaturally quick on my feet. I like to combine both magical arts and physical arts with flashy movements whenever I fight, and I can light my whole body on fire- though I hope that doesn't scare away anyone who's potentially special to me…

Spells Associated with Hanabi's Sabbath

Dampen
A spell specifically designed to mute magical attacks, and change all but the strongest of spells into attacks that barely damage the user

Specifically designed by Hanabi, who wanted the ability to go all out in her training, and not damage her opponent. The spell works by redirecting a portion of the user's total energy to the edges of their body, where it coats them like a covering of armor. Wherever a magic attack is about to make contact with the user's body, the "armor" rushes in to take the full brunt of the magic attack, stopping the magical attack before it can reach its user.

For magic attacks with a radius of effect, the armor stretches out to cover all affected areas. A large enough area of impact technique can overwhelm the effects of Dampen, though since even a novice user of this spell can mute attacks from a high-level mage, the odds of this happening are unlikely

Naturally, extensive use of Dampen consumes a large amount of Demonic Energy and requires even more when the shell itself is targeted, so the sum total is usually made up with hot, sticky sex with one's husband.

Dull
A spell designed to mute physical attacks, and ensure all but the heaviest of hits will barely register as damage to the user.

Designed to be used in conjunction with Dampen, and serves as the physical alternative to Dampen's capacity to null the damage of magical attacks. DE instead this time acts as a momentum slowing agent, interacting with weapons or strikes and decreasing their velocity to a degree the average blow will be felt as light as a finger on the skin by the time they ever make contact with the user.

Dampen and Dull are often not recommended to be used together due to the costly energy requirements it takes to maintain them, though incubi or inma with husbands may be able to do so if they have a way to replenish the lost energy. Though the spell itself takes a fair amount of time to learn and recognize how to maintain it actively, the spell itself can be translocated to other objects, which then can be placed on a user who no longer has to pay the energy costs required to keep the spell active, but instead only has to donate the energy to turn the spell on and off. This is, of course, a staple of Hanabi's Sabbath, who sews clothes with the spell enchantments already woven into the fabric, so all attendees fighting at her Sabbath can enjoy battling each other to their hearts content without fear of causing injury to each other, though public demand for the clothes and the enchantment itself has ensured that they're now being sold even outside the confines of her institution.
