Ryoko's Crown Noble Meme Thing!

[dreamer_ryoko]

It's a seemingly normal world, no magic or supernatural things wreaking havoc. You go to school or work, living your life. You have friends and family, go to the movies sometimes, enjoy a walk in the park every now and then.

But there are things hidden keeping that normalcy safe. Keeping you safe. Perhaps it's about time you found out about them.

The Crown Nobles are a group who've obtained special magic gems from a spirit of some sort--most likely the spirit of light and order, Aurora. These gems grant the user superhuman strength and reflexes, a weapon, and two special abilities, often related to their personality. These weapons and abilities are the only things capable of taking out the mysterious black crystal monsters known as the chrys. These chrys, sometimes small, sometimes large, sometimes even humanoid, are led by a man known as Onyx, who's intent on causing chaos in the city and defeating the Nobles. As for his motives... they are still a mystery.

Now that you know a little more, it's time to find someone to talk to! Feel free to pick a prompt or make your own. Interested in playing the Rekindle version of your character, with a strange Shinju taken to Seong Saeng? Any other AUs, mysteriously brought to this world? Feel free! Just let me know.

Shinju - Noble Garnet

[hellfire_gouka]

1. Your friend Shinju changed when his parents died. Who wouldn't? But as of late he's become even more withdrawn and most of the time, he doesn't even bother to look at you or anyone else; he just does his classwork and goes home, wherever he lives now. You've noticed he seems very tired some days. It's time to confront him about it.

2. You were taking a walk or a bike ride through town at night, and everything seemed peaceful. But as you continued, you heard strange noises, like wind chimes or glass breaking. Before you knew it, strange crystalline monsters appeared, heading straight towards you. Whether or not you thought you could handle them, a sword fell and impaled one of them, shattering it where it stood. Soon after came a young man from above, landing in front of you to shield you from them with another sword in hand. His crest of red hair stands out against the brown, but it matches his eyes and peculiar costume. Perhaps you wait until the monsters are defeated to speak to him, maybe you encourage him or question him in the midst of the battle, or perhaps...

3. You reveal yourself to be quite capable of holding your own ground against the chrys. Perhaps it's your first time fighting them, or you've been doing this a while unbeknownst to the holder of the garnet. You'll help Garnet take down the monsters threatening your city.

4. When you spot him, it's just after you finished off a few fodder monsters. It seems to be another gem user like yourself, another Noble--but something is wrong. Did you know him beforehand? Is this your first time seeing this strange red-gem "Noble"? Either way, you're surprised when he attacks you, a calm but unnerving smile on his face. How will you handle the situation?

5. Come up with your own!

Steve was walking by himself and minding his own business, for once. Bucky would be so proud that he managed to go down the street without getting into a fight with someone. His friend really worried about him too much, but he was really thankful to have someone close. Although, he was probably worrying about him right now just because he was still out at night. Guess he should start rushing home soon.

However, he stopped suddenly when he heard unusual noises sound throughout the area. What the...

He barely had time to move before several large monsters started to rush towards him. W-what in the world was those things? Didn't seem friendly. Steve didn't really have any weapons on him, but he had his backpack! Maybe he could use that as a shield or something.

But before he could put his plan into action, a sword suddenly struck down one of the monsters. A strange man then landed in front of him and Steve couldn't help but stare at him in shock. Who was he?

"Who are you?" He shook his head though, trying to snap out of his shock. "Don't worry, I can fight."

[hellfire_gouka]

The other chrys moved to attack the teenager--now the main threat--and he shoved one away with his sword and struck the other, sending its crystalline leg flying against a nearby wall while the rest of it crashed to the ground.

"Don't bother," he said, trying to keep himself from sounding too winded. "Just stay out of the way for now."

With those words, Steve would feel a compulsion to do as asked, but if he was stubborn enough he could ignore it to some extent. More of the things appeared from around the corner, and in response, the young man moved one of his hands off the hilt of his blade; it almost appeared as if he was holding a trail of light that soon solidified into a blade identical to the one he was already holding.

[wontdoanyless]

This wasn't actually happening, was it? A weird teenager with a sword wasn't battling some strange crystal monster right in front of his eyes. Nope. Except, it really was happening and for once in his life, he really didn't know what to do.

Part of him wanted to follow what he was told to do, but he was stubborn enough to stick around. Sorta. He wasn't about to charge in like what he normally does in a fight.

"Not just gonna leave you here."

[hellfire_gouka]

The fact that Steve responded at all came as a surprise to the young man, and for a brief moment he was caught off-guard enough to nearly be attacked. Fortunately, his reflexes were fast enough to cross his swords and keep from getting skewered on crystal teeth.

"I know what I'm doing," he replied with a grunt as he shoved the monster off, tossing one of the swords at another monster that was trying to make its way past the noble to get at the less-equipped man. The blade knocked it off course enough for it to crash into pieces against the wall, and the sword dissipated into specks of light as Shinju drew another.

"You can't handle them. Let me do my job."

[wontdoanyless]

"Let me do something." He was still protesting, even though it was obvious that Shinju knew how to handle these monsters. Steve still didn't know what he was really dealing with, so that made things a bit more difficult for him to just jump in.

Maybe he could distract them at the very least? Give this kid a better chance to attack.

[hellfire_gouka]

His face drew into an incredulous expression even as he continued fighting, and it would be visible enough to Steve when the young man turned to attack one of the few monsters remaining. Unfortunately, a new wave began to come around the corner of the block.

"If you really need something to, just be moral support," he replied as he turned to the new incoming hoard. After taking a breath, an array of several swords materialized behind him, floating several feet off the ground and pointed towards the new enemies. Hopefully he could make quick work of the rest and get this guy to safety...

[wontdoanyless]

"Not much that's gonna do."

Steve grumbled a little, but for once, he didn't say anything else. Maybe it would be better if he didn't try and throw rocks at these monsters. He had a feeling that it wouldn't do much. Plus, it was kinda hard to compete with a guy that could form swords out of thin air.

No big deal, just breaking the laws of physics and everything. It was impressive really.

bluuuhhhhh

[hellfire_gouka]

It only took another minute to clear out the invading monsters, and after a few seconds of listening carefully, Shinju let out a breath and let all but one of his swords dissolve into light. The remains of the crystal monsters dissolved in a similar way, but more into shadow. There was no real evidence left of them, only the damage they'd done.

He had no real sheath, so the blade stayed in his hand as he turned towards the man, a little out of breath.

"I guess I should get this over with," he said, mostly thinking aloud and looking at Steve in a peculiar way.

Katsura - Noble Turquoise

[dragon_lights]

1. Your friend Katsura has been particularly busy lately, even aside from this geology club that seems to be invite-only. You haven't hung out in the evening for a while, in particular, when you used to spend the night sometimes. She always seems open to talk, but it's a subject she's been able to wave off until now. Is it time for that to change?

2. You were taking a walk or a bike ride through town at night, and everything seemed peaceful. But as you continued, you heard strange noises, like wind chimes or glass breaking. Before you knew it, strange crystalline monsters appeared, heading straight towards you. Whether or not you thought you could handle them, two daggers fell from out of sight, sending cracks through the monster and halting it in its tracks. A young woman with light blue hair and a caped costume somehow runs down from the side of a nearby building, somersaulting towards the defeated foe, and finally vaulting off of it to land in front of you, weapons in hand once more. Perhaps you wait until the monsters are defeated to speak to her, maybe you encourage her or question her in the midst of the battle, or perhaps...

3. You reveal yourself to be quite capable of holding your own ground against the chrys. Perhaps it's your first time fighting them, or you've been doing this a while unbeknownst to the holder of the turquoise. You'll help Turquoise take down the monsters threatening your city.

[godandpainter]

[Ammy's not exactly sure how she got here and or even where she was, but she was being attacked. So she's gonna fight back with all her goddess glory.]

[dragon_lights]

[If there's one thing Turquoise wasn't expecting, it was a white... wolf? helping to fight off the monsters. But she isn't about to look a gift dog in the mouth.

She stops one of the things in its tracks with a flash. Her purification spells can't destroy them, but they can keep them still enough to be easy to attack. The two of them will make short work of these things in no time.]

[godandpainter]

[With the monsters stopped, they were pretty easy to take down with her thunder Celestial Brush technique. She didn't want these things getting too close.]

[dragon_lights]

[She's astounded by whatever powers this dog... wolf... thing has. They make great time finishing off the chrys, and once they're gone, she can focus on her new fighting partner, daggers in their sheaths.]

Are you a spirit? I've never seen anything like that, and I'm not sure a wolf can be a Noble...

[godandpainter]

[Once the monsters where gone, Ammy goes over to check on the girl, seeing if she got hurting. Seeing nothing, Ammy lets out a bark and sits in front of her, tail wagging.]

[dragon_lights]

[She gets a puzzled look on her face, eyebrows knit together with a smile. How is she supposed to deal with this? She's not great with animals.]

Um... can you understand me? [It seems friendly enough, at least... and it did fight those things. Somehow.]

[godandpainter]

[Ammy barks again and gets up, butting Ryoko's hand.]

[broughthisfall]

When Father sent him to this world, a parallel version of the Earth he knew, it was a bit surreal at first. To know that another Earth existed, one that wasn't created by Father himself. He didn't tell Michael all too much, just that there wasn't one single god and angels didn't exist.

He was familiar with different deities, but in Michael's opinion, there was only one true god in his universe. But that wasn't the point right now, this world's chaos had started to leak into his own and he was sent here in order to stop it. Father couldn't leave his position and Michael was used to doing different tasks based on what was ordered of him. Besides, he did have a lot of fighting experience.

Which was a good thing to have, especially right now.

Michael dodged the black monster as it charged at him, trying not to reveal his wings or flaming sword in this world. The last thing he wanted was to draw attention, but he still needed to fight and defend himself against these... creatures. He turned around and kicked a chrys as it charged at him, sending it back a few yards, but it still wasn't out. Even with all his superhuman strength as an angel, these things just wouldn't go down.

Looks like he had a long night ahead of him...

[dragon_lights]

"Look out!"

The call came from above, where the blue-haired Noble stood clearly sideways, her feet on the nearby building's wall as if her gravity had merely changed its axis. She threw a dagger as she shouted, a loud crack sounding behind the angel as a smaller monster's back legs were separated from the rest of it.

With the immediate threat to him eliminated, she continues down the side of the building with ease, making a leap as a flash emanated from her hand and froze the larger chrys that Michael had kicked back. She landed next to him, taking her thrown dagger back as she kicked the broken monster over for good measure.

"Don't panic. Just stay behind me, okay?"

[broughthisfall]

Michael immediately turned his head towards the girl that was... standing on a wall and clearly defying gravity. He blinked once, surprised to see a human looking individual have powers like this. But she wasn't fully human, was she? The Noble had a holy aura, although different from his own, but he could still sense it.

He would have time to address her more later, once these creatures were gone.

"I can fight." Michael didn't like standing behind others in fights, even though she probably knew more about the chrys than him.

[dragon_lights]

"Not these things," she replied, but when she'd finished speaking, she finally noticed the strange feeling she was getting from the man. It was and wasn't like the other Nobles and Aurora... what was he? He certainly seemed confident. Still, she didn't want to risk an innocent getting hurt.

"Trust me. I've been doing this a while."

For now she'd have to trust he'd stay out of harm's way. The large chrys she had frozen was beginning to regain its movement, though thankfully a few cracks had been made from Michael's kick. She charged forward, tossing her dagger once again and aiming for the new weak spot.

[broughthisfall]

He huffed at her comment, fighting evil creatures were nothing new to him, even if this particular kind was different. Michael would have said as much, but he was trying to be discreet, Father had wanted him to lay low as much as possible and he was going to obey that to his fullest capability. God didn't want to alert the chaos that someone from an entirely different universe was here, although there was a possibility that they still knew regardless.

At least he found someone else that was holy, she would be a good person to question after this fight was over. The faster he completed this task, the faster he could return home.

"I have as well." Maybe not against the crys, but against demons in general. However, he didn't bother to clarify his statement and instead ran forward as well, aiming to punch the creature in one of its weakened areas.

i need more serious icons

[dragon_lights]

The sight of the man charging forward along side her surprised her. Most people were more terrified and running away than charging straight towards a weird dangerous monster!

"Hey!"

Unfortunately, the distraction caused her to trip slightly, and though she caught herself, it meant that Michael's punch landed before she could reach the chrys. The affected area of the creature cracked under the pressure, but the sharp edges of the now broken shards were infused with a chaotic energy that caused more than mundane wounds. If it did hurt him, however, at least the blow knocked it off balance enough that the heavy thing wouldn't be able to make an attack just yet.

Turquoise ran forward, attempting to shove the man back.

"You can't just punch them like that--!"

[broughthisfall]

So that wasn't his brightest idea. Maybe he should purchase one of those human weapons so he wouldn't have to bring out his holy sword, while not needing to punch things with his bare fists either.

The shards cut into his hand, with the chaotic energy actually hurting him. Michael pulled his hand away with a grimace, feeling the area actually sore and somewhat stiff. It wasn't a normal day when something could actually harm him like this.

"This won't happen again." If he wanted to keep his cover, he'd just have to let his hand be for now, except remove any shards that were embedded in him still. "You should kill it now if you have the ability to do so."

Zekarion - Onyx

[flameoftheend]

1. It's been some time since you've seen Zekarion, whether you were pleasant acquaintances or even close friends. It's likely been years since you last spoke with him, as his college days were the last to see him reach out very often. But now you get the chance to see him again; perhaps in the lobby of a hotel where he's sitting down to have a drink, perhaps you've managed to spot him in a cafe, or walking down the street. He was an often calm but genial young man, but there's something very different about him now, as much as his smile attempts to prove otherwise...

2. You notice the tall man easily, whether he happens to be leaving from a restaurant, asking for something behind you, or bumping into you. He seems polite enough. But you notice that as he's leaving, he appears to have left something behind: a silver necklace with a cracked red gem. It certainly looks valuable; it might be prudent to return it to him.

3. You're clearly capable of handling the chrys on your own, which is why a man in a cape and mask has now appeared before you. Perhaps you already know that this figure is responsible for the monsters plaguing the city and putting people in danger. Perhaps this is the first time you've encountered him, but he is certainly giving off a menacing aura. He draws his weapon, a jet black crystal rapier, ready to fight you. Will you ask who he is and why he's doing this, as all heroes are wont to do? Or perhaps you're only interested in getting rid of the threat of the monsters? Time will tell how your encounter will end.
