Blood type: O+

Weight: 145 lbs. (66 kg)

Design: She’s a 5’ 2” (157.48 cm) Italian mesomorph with sloping shoulders, upper arms that carry some of her weight, a bit of belly fat, voluptuous breasts and hips, and prominent thighs. She has olive skin, droopy blue-grey eyes, and brownish freckles scattered across her face and neck. Fio has straight, slightly messy orangish-brown hair that falls just above the middle of her upper back, framed by blunt bangs and chin-length, layered sides. However, she typically wears it tied up in a ponytail. Her fingernails are painted an English lavender hue, and she wears thick, winged dark brown eyeliner, a soft rosy red blush on her cheeks and nose, and cherry blossom pink lip gloss. As a result of battle injuries and her own clumsiness, she bears a bullet wound near the centre of her left calf and numerous cut marks, stab scars, and scrapes on her arms and legs.

Her military gear consists of polarised, silver-plated transition lens eyeglasses, a metal dog tag necklace with her name, and a cordovan Eisenhower jacket. She wears a pink lavender T-shirt with a dogwood rose stripe running along the front and a carmine bra underneath. She wears carmine gloves and a gold-buckled leather belt to secure her ebony army cargo shorts, which fall just above her knees. She also wears ebony paratrooper boots, dogwood rose knee and elbow pads, and over-the-calf bittersweet shimmer socks. She has a khaki waist pack attached to the back of her belt, which carries her nail polish, lip gloss, eyeliner, two makeup brushes (a large one and a small one), a makeup sponge, and a powder blush palette. She wears a leather sheath for her hatchet, a gun holster for her handgun, and a holder for her tonfa.

The pockets of Fio's Eisenhower jacket carry around an embroidered cockade of Italy pin and a Ventolin inhaler. It carries a wooden calico Japanese Bobtail maneki-neko figurine, which is a gift from Eri. The figurine wears a metallic green collar with a red stripe and a gilt-brass bell. Its right arm is raised, and its left paw holds a koban coin. It also carries a metallic green mystery watch with a transparent crystal dial that showcases black hands in the centre of a crimson inverted triangle. Shimmering saffron-yellow Roman numerals, ranging from I to XII, are positioned around the dial, separated by three dots each. The pockets of her army cargo shorts carry a canister of pepper spray, a bottle of azithromycin pills, and a bottle of specialised prescription supplements specifically designed to manage her cystic fibrosis.

Over her T-shirt, she dons a Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) with a MultiCam pattern, which carries her walkie-talkie and ammo for other firearms. Her black ammunition bandolier is slung over her right shoulder, and the back of her Eisenhower jacket features an embroidered S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. logo. Fio carries an ebony load-bearing backpack containing camping equipment, fire bombs, stones, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, and a picnic basket filled with prepared sandwiches. She also carries her latest sewing project and its accompanying supplies, a Hexagon Arms M-3685, a cat o' nine tails whip, medical supplies, a scientific telescope, and Peppino, her greyish-brown teddy bear with purple eyes and a pearlescent blue bowtie.

She always wears a pair of teardrop-shaped pink opal earrings and a gold chain necklace featuring a red coral cornicello amulet, believed to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune. She wears a khaki army cap, once worn by her father during his military service, with the Regular Army insignia emblazoned on the front. Additionally, she wears a rosy pink armband on her left arm, featuring an European bee-eater perched on an olive branch at its centre.

Character summary: She's initially reserved and timid around strangers but warms up and opens up once she becomes familiar with new people. She's a compassionate, considerate, and overly cautious listener who's really good with children and lends everyone a generous helping hand. She's sensitive and unafraid to show her true emotions, often engaging in introspective thought. She possesses a steadfast commitment to justice, having no tolerance for individuals who seek to stir up strife, and is slow to forgive those who inflict harm on others for their own selfish purposes. Despite her quiet and calm demeanour, she's surprisingly prone to stress and anxiety, particularly when confronted with obnoxious noises, unwanted physical contact or situations where she can't escape. Even though she's a seasoned warrior, she harbours an intense fear of insects and creepy crawlies, often resorting to hiding behind Tarma, Marco or Eri and insisting they handle the situation. On occasion, she displays an almost childlike naivety and exuberance, typically after completing a mission or while off duty.

She's a very friendly and gentle clean freak who'll do anything to help out her family, friends, comrades, and those in need. She prepares all her meals with love and dedication, considering others' likes and dislikes, hoping they'll enjoy what she's made. When talking to others, she often uses lively hand gestures and animated facial expressions to emphasise certain ideas. She gets easily flustered by compliments and flirtatious advances, blushing deeply and becoming nearly speechless. She's a somewhat superstitious person, believing in things like placing one's hat on a bed being a sign of bad luck for homeowners and spilling salt being a harbinger of financial troubles. She's a nature-loving girl who's incredibly clever and always thinks optimistically. She's a great strategist who excels in keep-away tactics. However, she often pushes people away due to fear and isn't the most skilled fighter, but can fight when necessary.

Whenever she's faced with the death of a child, a comrade or friend being severely injured, being touched inappropriately or being rudely insulted, her face darkens. She becomes cold-hearted and deadly serious, and her tactical prowess shines through most. She's quite curious around strangers, nervously trailing them and asking a few questions to get to know them. Despite cherishing the importance of friendship, she sometimes feels isolated by her exceptional intelligence, privileged upbringing, and cystic fibrosis. She values maintaining a healthy work-life balance and prioritising her time with loved ones, holding both in higher regard than success. She believes that living in or exploring beautiful places helps her become a better person by gaining a deeper appreciation of the world around her.

She originally harboured romantic feelings for Marco, but they dissipated after he disclosed that he isn't interested in romantic and sexual relationships. Her affections eventually shifted to Tarma, whom she found charming due to his silliness, emotional intelligence, Hokkaido dialect, the soothing sound of his voice, pleasant smile, and knack for building professional motorcycles. She finds immense comfort in Tarma's presence and often offers him solace when he's having a rough day or struggling with self-doubt.

After her romantic relationship with him fully blossoms, she forms an exceptionally close physical and emotional bond with him. However, her tendency to become overly attached manifests at times, especially when feelings of fear or loneliness arise. Despite being in a romantic relationship with Tarma, she maintains a non-possessive attitude, unconcerned if he flirts or sleeps with other women and men, considering it his personal freedom. However, she does prefer openness and honesty, ensuring that he communicates with her about his actions. She sometimes gets into debates with Tarma about what they should or shouldn't do, but she usually remains polite and calm, focusing on finding a solution that benefits both of them rather than worrying about negative consequences. After a debate, she often apologises to Tarma and follows up with a hug.

She eventually enters into a polyamorous queerplatonic relationship with Marco and Tarma, which she deeply cherishes and further satisfies her craving for emotional intimacy. She's displeased when Nadia takes advantage of her kindness to avoid responsibilities. However, she appreciates Nadia's help with dessert-making, although Fio often has to bribe her by offering something equally sweet or letting her have the largest share of a batch to persuade her to lend a hand. She's frustrated by Eri's overprotectiveness, especially when it comes to Tarma, as it reminds her of her father's behaviour and makes her feel like she's being treated like a child. She finds Red Eye to be an incredibly intimidating person, despite their relatively friendly relationship, which occasionally involves sharing a cup of tea together.

When she's reached her limit, feels threatened or needs to express her authentic feelings about something that gets under her skin, she's capable of standing up for herself and making her voice heard. She rarely swears, but when someone's pushed her too far, she'll unleash a stern reprimand, peppered with profanities in Italian. She's unconcerned by Marco's and others' opinions that carrying Peppino is childish because the teddy bear provides her with personal comfort and solace, particularly when she's anxious or sad. Ever since meeting Ralf, who encouraged her to try new things, she has mustered the courage to pursue thrilling experiences and enjoy them to the fullest, even if they carry some risk.

She's not fond of drinking alcohol due to its bitter taste and intoxicating effects, which make her feel nauseous and slightly nervous. However, on rare occasions, she’ll let loose and indulge in alcohol with her friends, especially after a challenging mission. When intoxicated, she starts to act playful, flirtatious and sexually teasing towards Tarma, obnoxiously loud, agitated, and bluntly honest.

She harbours private reservations about the Regular Army's methods, particularly when it comes to neutralising perceived threats, including journalists and enemy-affiliated personnel. She acknowledges that not everyone in these groups is malicious, but rather, many are innocent individuals caught in complex circumstances. Moreover, she struggles with the nagging feeling that those closest to her have been conditioned to uncritically accept the Regular Army's moral stance, never questioning its motivations or ethics. However, she's deeply afraid to express these thoughts aloud, fearing deadly repercussions and unwilling to risk stirring up trouble or jeopardising the relationships she values. She often pushes these thoughts aside by focusing on becoming a better fighter and drawing inspiration from high-ranking individuals like Marco and Clark, whom she greatly admires.

She has a tendency to fall asleep extremely quickly at bedtime or naptime, and her loud snoring can be disruptive to others who are trying to rest or focus on important tasks in the same room. She would be heartbroken if Peppino were lost, destroyed or stolen forever, as the teddy bear has been her constant companion since birth. However, she would be overjoyed to be reunited with the original Peppino or receive a new teddy bear that's an exact replica. During warmer weather, she has a habit of lifting up her T-shirt to cool herself off, but tries to be discreet about it.

She believes that war serves no purpose other than destruction, resulting from conflicts that escalate beyond the control of free will. In her view, war profoundly alters the moral fabric of society, accelerating the advancement of weaponry and technology used in conflict. As a firm believer in virtue ethics, she thinks morality is about becoming the kind of person we truly want to be. To become a better person, people must cultivate values like honesty, bravery, justice, and generosity, leading to a morally righteous life and self-improvement. By practicing fundamental moral values, people develop the ability to make tough choices when faced with ethical dilemmas, learning to trust their instincts, listen to their conscience, and stand firm in their convictions. She holds that life is more powerful than death, continually finding innovative ways to adapt and flourish.

Backstory: Fiolina Hortensia Germi was born on October 2, 2007 in Genoa, Italy. The Germi family is renowned for their vast wealth, military service, and philanthropic endeavours. Originally merchants and nobles, they amassed their fortune in the Mediterranean region during the Age of Exploration and have since maintained their wealth, now managing various corporations and philanthropic organisations. True to their militaristic heritage, the Germis have participated in numerous conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars of the 1800s, the Italian Unification Wars of the 19th century, and modern-day wars against terrorism worldwide. Sadly, many Germi warriors lost their lives, leading to an important family custom where the chosen heir of the Germi family must serve in the military.

Alessandro Germi, Fio's father, was a fearsome soldier in the Regular Army in his earlier years, serving alongside Fabriclus Roving. However, he was forced to leave military service after being severely injured during a shootout, which left him crippled and suffering from debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His body bore the scars of countless battles, a testament to the wounds he had endured and the bloodshed he had witnessed on the front lines. After returning to civilian life and receiving proper support, Alessandro successfully restored his family's struggling business. He also started a family with his beloved wife, Giulietta, a talented seamstress and manager of a luxurious art museum.

Alessandro's wish was to have a healthy son as he feared that sending a daughter onto the battlefield would be a perilous ordeal. To his surprise and dismay, Giulietta gave birth to a daughter, and due to health complications, she couldn't bear any more children. Fio's mother would also experience postpartum depression after childbirth and passed down a disease that runs deep within her heritage: cystic fibrosis. Alessandro's deep-seated fears for Fio's safety often led him to become overly protective, causing tension with Giulietta, who found his helicopter parenting suffocating.

Despite her parents' mental health struggles, they went above and beyond to care for her, providing unwavering love and support. For half of her elementary school years, she was homeschooled and her parents taught her a diverse range of subjects, including mathematics. They encouraged Fio’s appreciation for friendships, the outdoors, and the finer things in life. They even fostered her love of astronomy, gifting her a scientific telescope on her 10th birthday, which she still has to this day.

Giulietta often took her on enriching outings to nature reserves and art museums, where she learned about biology and art history. Her mother also taught her the importance of domestic duties, showing her how to do her chores and clean the house. On special occasions, her mother would dress her up in pretty dresses and give her adorable animal plushies, which she still keeps.

She was bullied and exploited by the other children because of her wealthy status and overt politeness, but her father and teachers consistently intervened. As she grew, she discovered her own voice, learning to assert herself with courage and conviction. Standing up to her bullies with firm yet gentle confidence, she effectively silenced their taunts and earned respect. Like Marco, Fio excelled in all her classes, demonstrating exceptional academic prowess and a deep appreciation for effort and lifelong learning.

However, her life took a devastating turn near the end of her secondary school days. A sudden and tragic terrorist airstrike, attributed to the Ptolemaic Army, struck Genoa, Italy, claiming Giulietta among its many victims. Her father was the most affected by this loss, turning to a life of alcoholism and self-isolation. Although Alessandro still cared about Fio and tried his best to support her, his alcoholism and newfound self-isolating behaviour made it challenging for him to do so. As a result, the butler and maids who worked in the mansion frequently took care of her.

It took time for Fio and Alessandro to heal from this loss, but they remained resilient. To cope with the loss of her mother, she turned to sewing, baking, and reading books on ancient and modern medical practices. Eventually, Alessandro sought help and went to rehab and therapy to address his issues with Fio's support and encouragement. After graduation, Fio was awarded multiple awards and scholarships, which enabled her to attend university. There, she pursued an interdisciplinary course of study, exploring chiropractics, acupuncture, physics, and astronomy.

Fio would eventually express her interest in joining the military after coming across a persuasive flyer to serve in the Regular Army. This revelation horrified Alessandro, as he didn't want to send his only child off to the battlefield, risking her life. He wanted to disregard the Germi's military traditions, believing that war is repugnant and a never-ending cycle of hate and violence. Alessandro tried to deter Fio from joining, but she persisted, driven by her desire to join the fight against terrorism and protect the lives of innocent people. He reluctantly agreed and sent her off to the military at the age of 19, but attempted to minimise her risk by using his connections and friends from his own military days to secure her a desk job, hoping to keep her out of harm's way and away from the front lines.

However, everything changed when a paperwork mistake caused by militant bureaucracy resulted in Fio's transfer to the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., a special operations branch of the Regular Army's Intelligence Agency known for carrying out high-risk missions. Surprisingly, Fio was ecstatic to hear the news as she had been eager to be deployed on the battlefield and make a real difference. In contrast, her father was furious and stormed into military headquarters, threatening officers in an attempt to prevent his daughter from being shipped to the front lines.

He would often try to extract Fio from the battlefield via a private jet, but she consistently resisted. Eventually, she had enough of his overprotectiveness and bravely told him that this was what she wanted—to fight on the battlefield and provide medical aid. She assured him that she was capable of handling herself. Alessandro finally understood and let her pursue her life as a military woman. In return, she promised to keep in touch with him after each mission, providing him with reassurance and comfort.

Like Eri, she played a crucial role in the Great Morden War by providing Marco's team with useful intel on Rebel Army positions. She even went so far as to provide them with sustenance, mainly in the form of homemade sandwiches. She also dedicated herself to providing medical support for Marco's team, which led to her being recognized as the lead medical technician of the Regular Army’s special forces.

During the Extraterrestrial Alliance Clash in Hong Kong, she was seized by a ruthless group of fanatic land troops and bikers who intended to exploit her for their twisted desires. One of the deranged fanatic land troops subjected her to unwanted physical contact, leaving her severely traumatised and more prone to anxiety. This horrific experience intensified her resentment towards the Rebel Army and those who seek to spread chaos and harm. Fortunately, Tarma intervened just in time, eliminating the Rebel Infantrymen with the SV-001. Eri quickly freed her from the ropes that bound her arms and ankles.

Her countless battles against worldwide criminality, terrorism, and corruption enabled her to rapidly rise through the ranks, becoming the Master Sergeant of the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. special forces unit. However, her time in the military has taught her a harsh reality: even the good guys can't always protect the innocent or save their friends and comrades. She has witnessed many deaths and severe injuries that left people crippled and traumatised in each battle. Nevertheless, with the emotional support of friends like Eri and Tarma, she has persevered and continues fighting to this day.

I love how colorful the gear can be! This one I wanted to use multiple colors to give an elaborate feel. The textures of the top with the many patterns reminds me of the dolls made with lots of different patterned cloth pieces. The short top is a very modern take, but I think it would look very pretty with one of the longer hakama and summoner sleeves for a more traditional silhouette.

Fanart for Miraculous Team Volume 1: Origins.

Available to read in Fanfiction.net, AO3, and Deviantart.

an ancient evil is reawakened, and fourteen teenagers are chosen to become superheroes! This was written long before the Zodiac Miraculous were revealed, so for most of the kids, SP created his own Miraculous, and made some changes to the ones in canon. I figure the best cover art would be all the Miraculous symbols surrounding Hawk Moth’s symbol. Partway through drawing, I realized it was reminiscent of the Cipher Wheel from Gravity Falls; which is fine since both SP and I love that series. Anyway, clockwise from top right the symbols are:

The Cat Miraculous: a ring. Kwami: Plagg. Special Power: Cataclysm (and unlike canon, they can use their powers more than once) Special Tool: collapsible metal staff. Holder: Adrien, alias Chat Noir

The Turtle Miraculous: a jade bracelet. Kwami: Wayzz. Special Powers: Force Fields and minor healing. Special Tool: shield shaped like a turtle shell and a pair of tonfas. Holder: Nino, alias Carapace.

The Bee Miraculous: a hair comb. Kwami: Pollen. Special Power: Shrinking (which I like better than Venom) Special Tool: spinning trombo that creates whirlwinds. Holder: Chloe (who has more character development in one chapter, than she has in the entire canon) alias Queen Bee.

The Spider Miraculous: a wrist watch. Kwami: Arri. Special Power: Sticking to Walls. Special Tool: an extendible lasso. Holder: Max, alias Arachnid.

The Dragonfly Miraculous: a necklace. Kwami: Daria. Special Powers: Flight and Super Speed. Special Tool: Discus. Holder: Alix, alias Dragonfly.

The Deer Miraculous: a pin. Kwami: Pinn. Special Power: Turning Invisible. Special Tools: bow and an an endless supply of arrows. Holder: Mylan, alias Forest Doe.

Hanzo Hasashi WILL appear, but not as Scorpion, obviously, but also not as a young child either.

RWBYswap: Team RWBY

A rundown of the girls themselves, RWBYswaps RWBY! featuring: 

OlderSister!Ruby Rose

Faunus! Weiss Schnee

Heiress! Blake Belladonna

& SpringMaiden!Yang Xiao Long.

To be honest, I think the team might end up with their canon weapons by the end of the story, but they start differently.

As for semblances, they are the same in theory, but with different specialties.

TL:DR-Ruby takes a little after Raven, Weiss is a Happy Huntress in the making, Blake is literally just Batman, and Yang truly is the Maiden of Knowledge.

Now, onto the gorls:

Ruby Rose-A 17 year old Silver Eyed Warrior whose desire to be the hero of the fairy tales she grew up on has been intensified and tempered into a righteous fury, fueled by the loss of nearly half her family. Additionally her knowledge of Remnant’s shadow conflict, as limited as it may be, and its role in her family’s misfortune has left her suspicious of Beacon’s Headmistress, and reluctant to connect with anyone besides her younger sister.

Weapon: Crescent Rose Mk I-Twin mechanized Kama that can combine into a sniper rifle or twin sided scythe, or become bladed tonfa, with one having a gun.

Semblance: Scatter, but by this time Ruby has a much better handle on the aforementioned scattering, acting more as a phasing ability & jet boost instead of superspeed.

Weiss Schnee-A reindeer Faunus hailing from the streets of Mantle, Weiss is no stranger to the injustices of Remnant and simmering racial tensions between Faunus and humans. Inspired by her grandfather, one of the first Faunus Huntsmen trained in Mantle, she strives to see the success of Faunus in general and Mantle in particular. Her goal is complicated by the worrying slide of the once noble White Fang into extremism, an arc tragically mirrored by Weiss’ elder sister, Winter.

Weapon: Myrtenaster Mk 1-Hand and a half sword capable of dust infusion. Eiszapfen-swordbreaker dagger with a pistol function.

Semblance: Glyphs, with a focus on enhanced motion and small, quick summons.

Blake Belladonna-The Watts Belladonna Dust Consortium advanced the cause of Faunus equality by years through the simple fact that a Faunus family now held the keys to a significant chunk of Remnant’s Dust supply. The cause carried even further by the philanthropists Ghira & Kali Belladonna, at least until the fatal accident that left their 7 year old daughter Blake an orphan. But Blake doubts that story, as does she doubt the intentions of her guardian and current WBC president Arthur Watts. She has seen how the progress the WBC has stalled, and even begun to backslide, trading it for a shadier, more profitable business model. And she will go to any lengths to stop it.

Weapon: Nightshade-Hoo boy, this is a bit of a doozy. Nightshade’s a dust infusable katana whose sheath is capable of shifting into a heavy pistol with an underslung grappling hook. (Adam parallels, anyone?)

Semblance: Shadow, but her shadow is actually capable of acting as a semi independent entity, but can’t summon them as quickly. A quality over quantity situation.

Yang Xiao Long-At 15 years old, Yang Xiao Long is confident, charming, witty and apparently a skilled enough Huntress to skip two years and enter the halls of Beacon at an extraordinary age. But Yang is not stupid, and knows her enrollment is directly tied to the magic of the Spring Maiden, inherited from her elder sister Cinder Rose, and she has questions. Questions about Cinder’s death, about her father Tai’s disappearance, or the disappearance of Ruby’s mom, Summer. Questions that no one in her family seems capable or even willing to answer, more content to try and safeguard her from the shadowy fates she would see brought to light. But Yang Xiao Long is stubborn, and she’ll get her answers. Even if they prove darker than she could ever realize.

Weapon: Ember Celica: Pretty close to the original, but with grappling hook capabilities and blades capable of combining into a shield.

Semblance: Burn, same as canon, but with the added capability of absorbing damage blocked with her shield, as an odd parallel to Moonslice.

[justanotherpersonsuniverse]

Bnha Au How does everyone costume work with their quirks and is Chloe in a sense the todoroki of your au?

Chloe is like... Todoroki but with Bakugo and Regina George’s personality. Yes.

ALSO GLAD YOU ASKED HOLD ON LEMME GRAB THE CHARACTERS- READ IF YOU WANT IM JUST GONNA RAMBLE

Okay let’s go one by one-

Marinette: Though it looks mostly skin tight, her suit is mostly armor to better protect herself. The black forearm gloves are there to spread and sorta soothe whatever pain she receives from overuse of her power. Like tougher Compression sleeves. However her fingers are open because to amplify something’s growth she needs to touch it. She’s got knee pads as well.

 Adrien: Mostly tough body armor, the bottom of his shoes have an iron layer to it to toughen his kicks and his gloves have claws to them because he’s a very physical fighter and because he is usually fighting without his quirk the entire time, he needs to be able to hold his own. His butterfly visor is there to protect his eyes and is made of a very strong material that his stuck to his face via some pretty nifty techniques.

Alya: Alya’s belt has miniature routers connected to it for more energy and power to use. However that’s about it on technical terms as she went for more flare then actual usage. Her shoes are tough though and can help her drop from some significant heights.

Nino: Nino has bottles of his sweat and soap substance on his belt but also in his water tank backpack. He can extract it at any time if he needs it but mostly he relies on his own normal producing sweat. His gloves are thin, meaning the soapy mixture can go through it without needing to take them off. He’s got some knee pads as well.

Chloe: Her palms her gloveless so she can venom people. Like Marinette her sleeves/bracers are meant to squeeze and compress her arms to help her muscles and blood flow as her body reacts in pain and numbness when she overuses Venom. She’s also got an optional visor to protect her from dust getting in her eyes.

Sabrina: Her face is protected by a large visor. Her jacket is made to protect her body and is very breathable. It doesn’t get hot too wear but keeps her from getting too cold. Underneath that is her suit that squeezes on her neck and arms a little to relax her blood pressure/flow. She’s got two gauntlets with with Tonfa/baton like attachments for bashing and breaking but also wrist protection and to release any pent of energy she’s got. Her helmet also helps protect her ears from the sounds of any explosions or just ear drum rupturing sounds.

Alix: Sleek, and very aerodynamic suit so she can optimize her speed and get faster without being slowed down. Her helmet keeps her face safe from air hitting her face and stinging her eyes plus dust, and her shoes are very tough, though it also has a strong traction to it. Underneath it there is a layer of armor as she is known for skidding around and bumping into things which could damage her body severely if she’s going at a very high speed and she crashes. Her suit also contains well padded pockets where she normally keeps her pocket watch, which she uses to keep track of her time limit.

Rose: Her suit is very limited, as her quirk requires her skin to be very exposed so she can produce more of her perfume from her glands. She wears a pair of safety goggles in case of eye damage and carries around a gas mask, and a few bottles of perfume on her belt in case she wants a more precise attack or she has a teammate.

Second row:

Ivan: His suit is meant to give him an armor but also mean for be very flexible and stretchy for when he shifts into bull Minotaur form. His sleeves are armored so he can bash through cement.

Mylene: Also meant to be very stretchy and flexible for when her form changes as well. There’s elements of her hair in the suit that will change with her as she shifts (like Mirio) so it doesn’t lose its form when she changes to her smaller self. She’s also got knee pads and tough boots to keep her safe.

Max: His suit has basic body armor, he doesn’t plan to be out in the battle field twenty fore seven, however he’s got many pockets to hold things that have planned notebooks of strategy and potential plans in them.

Kim: His suit helps regulate his body temperature and his made to protect him from damage. His body produces the wax made to be his wings also like a sort of sweat that is the strongest on his back, so like Nino, his suit is very thin there so he can produce his wax wings without making holes or having to take it off. His visor is made to protect his vision from dust but also his own hot wax.

Nathaniel: His armor is meant to support him in case of further damages. His hands produce a special kind of ink that he can use to bring his drawings to life so he wears no gloves. However his sleeves, like many other of his classmates, squeeze and compress around his wrists to prevent potential aching issues or arthritis. He contains special packs of his ink that he can use to spill and create mass productions of his creations.

Juleka: Her cape is wide and tough, and connects to her wrists but continues to extend out. The purpose being to act like a wing suit similar to some sky divers. Her feet are clawed and slightly morphed so she wears toeless and heel-less sort of socks? Boots? And while it was pulled down in the image, Juleka also wears a mouth mask with a fang like design on her face that keeps her lungs safe from breathing anything bad in while also giving her the ability to amplify her voice to great distances or volume. She will most likely improve the mask later to be good at air regulation so she will be safer around Rose’s perfume.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SHIT REALLY HARD I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

[lady-byleth]

I see this argument a lot where people say Tyrian has bad eyesight or uses his enemy's movements to see them because he's a scorpion Faunus and I've been meaning to say something about that for a while now

Faunus only ever have one animal trait, and his is the tail. If he had bad eyesight, which I doubt since this is a world with cybernetic optical implants so they can do glasses or contacts or laser eye surgery or whatever, we'd know

Tyrian had such a problem with Qrow's hand to hand cuz his weapons specifically rely on getting in close to render his opponent's weapon useless.

Crescent Rose is massive and completely worthless as a weapon when someone gets too close to Ruby, Harbinger is not much different

Except Qrow's style compensates for that by being incredibly versatile. When someone gets past his weapon he'll just throw a fucking punch because why not?

Harbinger can go from sword to shotgun to tonfa to scythe, it can cover just about any form of weaponized combat out there and Qrow built that thing so his style will suit the weapon he made

Tyrian knew Qrow was a master swordsman and probably Remnant's foremost scythe expert, but Qrow doesn't get serious a lot so his hand to hand capabilities are a secret to most

So when Tyrian disarmed Qrow he figured he'd have an easy victory on his hands before suddenly there was a fist in his face

He stopped moving after that to collect himself, reassess the situation and give Qrow a chance to get his weapon back because that's the Qrow he knew how to handle. He thought because when he thought he had Qrow at his mercy the guy just showed how many forms of Harbinger he hasn't revealed yet and got away to bring the fight onto equal footing again

Tyrian doesn't have terrible eyesight or scorpion like awareness, he's a serial killer who likes being close when his victim dies. And he isn't used to said victim just punting him across the street like it's nothing when unarmed

[hiromaniac]

Oneirophrenia

The doors suddenly burst open as a soldier in full armor with decorated with the blue regalia of his kingdom raced across the room and fell to a knee at his side. “My lord! The enemy has breached the walls! They are infiltrating the courtyard!”

He scowled and pounded his fist on the table. “Damn it all to hell!” His fist shook with rage. He hadn’t expected the enemies to make it this far so quickly. They weren’t on bad terms with the western kingdom, but he had his suspicions that they had provided reinforcements on the northern front allowing the northern kingdom to get here faster than expected. He slammed his fist into the table once more. “Have we received word from the southern citadel?”

“Yes, my lord.” The knight nodded, still on his knee. “Queen Mythorn and the civilians have sent word of their arrival.”

He sighed deeply, taking a moment to gather the strength for his next command. “I had promised her I would protect her father’s castle, but I’ll see it in the hands of those northern bastards over my dead body.” He stood up straight and ran a hand through his messy blond hair. “Burn it. Set fire to the grounds.” He picked up his lance from the table and turned for the door. “I’ll make them regret ever setting foot into this hell.” The knight hesitated briefly then rose and hurried out the door.

Hiro took a deep breath and took a step towards the door but paused before leaving the room. He slowly turned his head to an aquarium in the corner. He stared at it a moment or two then shook his head. “I’m sorry, Ránëwén, but it seems that Edward isn’t going to make it out of this.” He exited the room.

He watched as the ramparts were quickly overrun. The fires had started to spread at this point. With his lance in hand, he made a mighty leap from the gates and into the fray. He released himself to his fury, cutting down foe after foe. Minutes passed as he rampaged across the battlefield, cutting down every enemy in blue he saw. Three soldiers bore down on him at the same time, but he kept his weapon between them and held strong. A voice from behind him called out. “Hah! Save some for the rest of us, Hiro! You’re making me look bad!” He pushed back the enemy soldiers and turned to face his friend. There stood a man with his black hair in a ponytail bounding between enemies with tonfa in hand.

“Well stop using those sticks and use a real blade like me, and you might get to some of them.” Hiro grinned and heaved his greatsword onto his shoulder. As his compatriot dispatched the last of the immediate foes, they locked eyes and shared a nod. Sharing a brief high-five, they turned towards the castle. “You get the fires set already?”

“Tch. It was easy. Several volleys of fire arrows and the keep caught fire with no problem. Things keep going according to plan, we’ll have our castle back in no time.”

Hiro nodded in appreciation. “Well then, shall we storm the gates?”

“Battering rams are moving into place now.” He pointed at the rams being moved into position.

“Perfect. Let’s go.” Hiro began to advance with the battering rams, but something unusual caught his attention. In the middle of the battlefield sat an aquarium. He furled his brow and started to approach.

Suddenly the sound of the main gates being forced open drew his attention away. Across the grand hall approached a solitary young man. “Ahh. Florian. I was wondering when you’d make your way back here.”

The young man raised a sword and pointed it at Hiro. “Silence! You’ve betrayed my trust for the last time, fiend.” The young man was seething with rage. “After my parents died, you took me in and raised me as if I were your own. When my beloved fell ill, you told me where to go to find the remedy that would cure her. When I was too late to return, you sponsored my entrance into the knight’s academy to improve myself. And now that the academy and all my friends have fallen to a hoard of undead, I find you idly sitting by. Waiting for my return.” Hiro smirked as the young man could barely contain his rage. “It is clear to me now that you killed my parents, my beloved, and my friends and companions. You have destroyed every home I have ever had. I hope your intention was to raise me to kill you, for that is all that is left now.”

Hiro laughed and clapped his hands. “No, young Florian. That was not my intention at all. I was merely bored and figured toying with your life would entertain me for a decade or two. I must say it has so far.”

The young man cried out in rage as his blade shone with a holy light. Hiro rose from his jagged throne and beckoned with upturned hands to the empty hall as if indicating a crowd should stand. As commanded, skeleton soldiers rose from their resting places haphazardly strewn across the hall. With the young man’s strength of body, mind, and conviction, he could overcome this obstacle, but just barely. After all, he had overseen every step of his training.

He gently glided across the floor as the young man fought for his life. He reached the young man just as he had dispatched the last skeleton. Hiro whacked the young man across the head with the orbed staff in his hand. The young man fell and Hiro planted a foot on his neck with glee. He prodded a new wound with his staff, enjoying the young man’s suffering. Then something drew his attention away from the young man.

The aquarium at the edge of the hall. Releasing the young man from beneath his foot, he slowly approached it. It was quite large, easily ten fulms across and nearly seven fulms tall. Inside danced several striped fish. Fish he had caught himself. He watched their dance as the world around him slipped away.

A small hand perched on his shoulder. He blinked and suddenly found himself back in his basement. With a soft grin he turns to the miniature succubus who hovered over his should with a concerned look on her face. “Oh, did I space out again, Hallie?” He chuckled much to the distress of the succubus. “Sorry. I just haven’t been getting much sleep recently.” He suddenly smiles wider. “Hey, Zeph is coming back today from her week-long trip to Ishgard for Soileine. I was thinking of surprising her with miq’abobs. She loves miq’abobs.” He hums softly as he climbs the stairs to the kitchen leaving behind a very concerned miniature succubus.

New chapter posted for my Star Wars/Avatar the Last Airbender  RebelCaptain fusion AU!

Read on AO3 | Read from start

Pairings: Jyn/Cassian, minor Han/Leia and Baze/Chirrut, random minor background pairings

Rating: T

Summary: Star Wars/Avatar the Last Airbender fusion AU. When exiled firebender  Jyn Erso lands on his doorstep the day Cassian, last southern  waterbender, meets the Avatar, she seems just another obstacle in ending  the War against the Fire Nation. An obstacle he would willingly remove.  But as their paths keep crossing, and the twins discover that destiny  and balance are more than they expect, Jyn and Cassian find that they are more alike than they ever thought possible.

Snippet under the cut!

It was a long sail to Wohbani. Fett's ship, Slave I, was a sailed ship, reliant on the winds and tides. His cell on Fett's ship was dark and cramped. No weak points, no planks of wood that revealed hidden weapons, no miraculous bits of metal that could be twisted into lock picks. Han spent those long days in the darkness punctuated by eating, relieving himself in the foul chamber pot, and thinking. He recited the names of all the places he'd been to, to himself. Recited the names of his friends. Over and over, waiting.

Any minute now, the ship was going to shake. That would be Cassian coming in with his waterbending. Cassian, Baze, and Jyn would handle the thugs on deck. Enfys would take down anyone left below. Luke and Leia would slice through the bars of the cell. Bodhi and Chirrut would stay on the Falcon.

Why didn't he have some power to get himself out of here? Han had never been jealous of benders, or even people who could weapons. But then, he'd never had to think of other people before. Arrogant, stupid, cowardly Han Solo. Right back where he started, heading to Tatooine.

One day, as the meal was brought to him, he heard Fett speaking in a low voice to one of his hired henchmen. "Saying they're dead. Saying Mon Cala fell."

"What?" Han was on his feet, gripping the bars of his cell.

Fett had removed his helmet, glancing at him with cold eyes before departing. "Who died?" Han roared, but nobody would answer.

In the darkness, he covered his face with his hands. It was obvious.

No, he would know. He would. He would know -

Jyn stood in the courtyard of the house, flexing her hands. As the sun-rose to the East, Jyn moved through the stances of firebending. Punching and kicking across the courtyard until her muscles burned. When she grew sweatier, she switched to her tonfas, blocking and striking imaginary enemies. Her body was beginning to flag. Good. It meant that when she lay her head down tonight, she'd fall asleep immediately.

"Want an opponent?"

Jyn turned, striking out with a blast of a fire. It missed Iden by inches, who merely looked at her, unimpressed. "You're not a bender," Jyn pointed out.

"I've got other tricks," Iden said, pushing aside the long sleeves of her black tunic. Throwing knives were probably littered everywhere across her person, from the sleeves, to the red vest, to her wide trousers, to even her boots. Jyn made a gesture with her tonfa to say, go on.

There was a whistle of steel. Jyn was thrown backwards. Two throwing knives were embedded into her trousers, pinning her straight to the courtyard tree. She'd barely even see the knives fly. "Need to practice more, Erso."

They sparred until the sun grew low in the sky. Her muscles ached and her belly was begging for food, but Jyn wouldn't quit. She wanted to slam Iden's face into the dirt. "You're in really good shape for spending months on the run," Iden observed.

"I had sparring partners. Two other women..." Her voice trailed off, pulling back her tonfa. "I shared a room with them. Leia and Enfys."

Leia and her stupid adventure scrolls she shared, her constant nattering and fussing to Jyn's health, the way she combed Jyn's hair every night, a thousand strokes until it would gleam. Enfys and her whip-like strength in every sparring match, her midnight runs to get sweets and tea together, her easy laughter and affection, pinching her cheek, hugging her, resting her head.

Iden's brow furrowed. "Leia. That was the Avatar's name."

"Yeah," Jyn swallowed, "It was." It all rose up then, a torrential rush, as she attacked Iden mercilessly. Slashing and striking, driving her back towards the courtyard door. "Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. Those were their names. Did you know they'd celebrated their twentieth Name Day? Did you know there wasn't money for any gifts? But they were so happy with just better food? They died one week later! One week later!"

"Of course I didn't," Iden snapped. But there was expression of confusion on her face, as though she were trying to process a language she didn't speak. Of course she didn't. Even though she'd been unlucky enough to be born a woman and of two Nations, in a place where that meant you were barely human, it still all shook out that she'd been born on the winning side.

Jyn stopped, dropping her tonfa on the courtyard. Fire burst out of her mouth, a scream of pure rage - at who? Who are you angry at? - until she collapsed to her knees, chest heaving.

"We'll call it a draw," Iden said, spitting blood from the side of her mouth. "You're not half-bad."

She swallowed. "Thanks," she said hollowly.

⁂ Painting Love (Kyoya Hibari)

Genre: Fluff, Comedy, Slice of Life ☁

Word Count: 1,145 ☁

Pairing: Reader x Hibari ☁

World: Anime, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! ☁

━━━━━━༻🌧️༺━━━━━━

“No, herbivore.”

“Come on, Hiba-chan! I’m just trying to make your wife look prettier!”

Hibari’s glare darkened, “I said no. Now leave before I bite you to death.”

Your eyes narrowed in defiance, “I’m not gonna leave you alone until you agree!”

“Hibari~ Hibari~” Hibird flew down from the reception room window and landed on your shoulder, making Hibari’s steel grey orbs narrow as he glared at his pet, annoyed that he chose the herbivore over his master.

“See? Even Hibird agrees! Come on, Kyoya, what harm will it do? I’m just trying to make your wife look even more beautiful than she already does with a portrait of the cute little Hibird!” Hook, Line, and Sinker!

“Fine, but I will be supervising you to make sure you don’t defile the Namimori name.”

You rolled your eyes and waved him off, muttering a “yeah, yeah” before turning around. This, of course, garnered a glare from the prefect, but you ignored it, deciding that you should get to work on your project if you wanted it finished by tomorrow.

You ended up working all through the night without fail, finishing up just thirty minutes before the sun rose. Hibari had fallen asleep around midnight and was currently leaning up against the tree in front of the wall you had been working on. It was hard to believe that the prefect could look so peaceful in his sleep.

Not wanting to disturb the sleeping demon, you quickly and quietly cleaned up the paint and other assorted items before taking your leave, the little yellow puffball nestled comfortably in your hands. Since Hibird had helped you with your little painting, his feathers had specks of various colored paints dotting them.

“Don’t worry, Hibird. I’ll take good care of you❤~” you said softly, booping his beak lightly as you made your way home. Hibird chirped, nipping your hand affectionately before letting himself get much-needed rest, which he deserved after all of the work he had done.

━━━━━━༻🌧️༺━━━━━━

You were met with a herd of students in the courtyard when you returned to school, the now clean puffball resting on top of your head. You were surprised to see almost every student of Namimori Middle crowding around to see the painting that you had done on the wall of the school building. Of course, only one person knew that you had been the one to do it.

Pushing past the students, you felt your heart soar in content as you gazed at the portrait with glazed-over eyes. The work had been a reflection of your heart, and seeing the finished masterpiece in the light of day was almost enough to make you cry out in joy. Instead of giving yourself away to the wondering students, you bit your lip and wiped away your teary eyes.

Painted on the wall of the school building, from bottom to top, was a portrait of yourself and Hibari. You were next to him, arms wrapped tightly around his neck as you held your cheek against his own. Hibari was scowling at you, arms crossed and steel orbs narrowed. You had included Hibird, naturally, and he was sitting on Hibari’s shoulder, in between the two of you. You had also painted hearts around the two of you, with cursive words that read, ‘I Love You, Hiba-chan❤~!’

Next to the pair, was a smaller painting near the bottom of the wall, featuring your friends with the words, ‘Friends like these are extremely rare but last a lifetime,’ Your friends, who automatically knew that the creative piece had been done by you, came over to you and engulfed you in a tight hug.

“That’s so sweet, Y/N-chan!” Kyoko smiled, hugging you gently before pulling away.

Tsuna nodded in agreement, “I didn’t know you had so much talent, Y/N-chan!”

“Che. It’s not that great.” Gokudera muttered under his breath, cheeks tinted pink as he looked away.

Yamamoto laughed, “It’s amazing!”

“But… what about Hibari-san? Isn’t he… going to be really mad?” Tsuna questioned, his happiness being replaced by nervousness as his deep brown orbs glanced around the group, in search of the demon.

“Mad? That bastard’s going to be furious!” Gokudera snorted, a smirk replacing his frown.

You just shrugged, “He said I could.”

“What?!” the group chorused in shock.

“T-That’s hard to believe… Hibari-san… he loves the school!”

You shrugged again, eyes shifting towards the ground, “Trust me, I’ve noticed.”

Tsuna was about to respond with something comforting, but Hibird cut him off, “Hibari~ Hibari~”

The group froze, watching the bird fly off towards its furious master. You gulped upon seeing the furious and hateful glare he was directing towards you. Without even attempting an excuse, you took off running inside the school, ‘I really screwed up this time!’

You could hear the prefect’s footsteps behind you, closing in with each and every corner you went around. Your breathing became ragged and your heart constricted painfully as you pushed your sore legs to move faster. ‘Damn, I have no athletic skills what-so-ever, and I really think I can outrun Hibari?’

You couldn’t take anymore and fell to your knees in the empty hallway, clutching your chest and trying to catch your breath. Your eyes closed tightly, your grip on the shirt tightening as the footsteps of the demon stopped behind you. You knew Hibari probably hated you now and it killed you to know that. You had hopes that the portrait would mean something to him, but you should have known better. “I’m sorry, Hibari! I know I said it would be a small portrait of Hibird, but I -”

Arms encircled you, pulling your body into a warm, inviting chest. You blinked in surprise, looking up at the black-haired prefect. Instead of seeing a glare, his steel orbs were glazed over with something you couldn’t imagine Hibari ever feeling – love.

“H-Hiba-chan…”

“Stupid herbivore,” he muttered, crashing his lips down onto your own, “You could have come up with a better way to tell me than defiling my school.” He let go of you, standing up and pulling out his tonfa, hitting you softly in the head.

“Oww, damn it, Skylark~” you whined, holding your head with a pout, “That hurt!”

He smirked, grabbing your arm and pulling you up off the tiled floor. You blinked, staring at his hand as the male dragged you outside to the wall you had painted on. “As punishment, you’ll be cleaning this off. If I see a single speck of paint, I’ll bite you to death.”

You groaned, sinking to your knees, “I should have known,”

Hibari smirked before walking away, pulling out his phone and looking at the picture he had taken of the painting. A small, almost invisible smile reached his lips as he set the picture as his wallpaper before slipping his phone back into his pocket.

FF3 Fun Facts of the Whenever: Spoony Bard Edition

In the Final Fantasy III remake, the Bard class is gained from the Water Crystal, just as it was in the Famicom version. Naturally, the remake was going to move it to the Bard-centric village of Duster and even had a little subplot involving Refia becoming a Bard’s muse.

The story begins in Duster, where a (admittedly rather spoony) bard is begins calling out to Refia, deducing that she is his muse. Refia doesn’t quite get the concept of a muse The Bard explains that the muse is the goddess of Knowledge, of Art, who inspires poets. The Bard is on the cusp of composing a new melody and asks her to stay, but Refia (apparently believing he’s making fun of her) leaves instead.

Refia later reconvenes with her fellow Warriors. She finds the bards words a bit overzealous, particularly calling her a goddess rather than a princess or a damsel. Ingus notes that people have different tastes, so Refia likely was a goddess as far as the bard was concerned. He asks if she should've said something sincere back, which causes Refia to say that she’s not a poet.

Luneth suggests that she just go along with it, since she just has to be there to inspire him. Refia accuses the boys of trying to make fun of her. Arc assures her that they’re not and suggests a gift in response to the poem (?). Arc decides that if Refia was an object, she’d be a Maiden’s Kiss or Madara’s Lyre. Luneth retorts that Refia is more like an Ottershroom or a Tonfa (which is interesting as Nunchucks, including the Tonfa, exist in the OG game, but not in the remake).  Refia is naturally unamused, but Ingus assures her that there was heart in the bard’s feelings. Refia decides that she’ll think about it.

There’s this section where an unnamed speaker talks about how they didn’t expect Refia to be so nice or like them. It might be the bard after the whole scenario, but it’s not clear.

In any case, Refia acknowledges that having someone like you isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not good to be so shy or obstinate. This amuses Luneth who mutters that it’s surprising that Refia is so upfront. Refia gets set off, but Arc turns the tables by claiming Luneth’s shy and saying that he could take a page out of her book. Luneth’s embarrassed, of course, but he says he’ll try.

Refia finally returns to the bard and gives him something (one of the items Arc mentions?). The Bard assumes that Refia hates him, but Refia actually apologizes. The Bard accepts the apology and promises to write a poem about his overflowing emotions, in hope that they will some day reach her.

It seems like his response varies depending on what Refia gives him, as in another scene, he’s overjoyed at what he was given, having previously thought that Refia hated him. Refia apologizes for not hearing him out earlier. The Bard feels his muse come down from high and indirectly asks for Refia’s name.

Rather than try to describe the poem, I will post both versions: One is as it is written in-game (in-case anyone reads Japanese and wants to try their hand at it) and one as translated by DeepL:

…桜桃のくちびると　ばらのほお 　うるわしき乙女　その名はレフィア 　その内よりあふれし白き光は 　精霊のうすい羽のようにやわらかく 　そのまなざしは　するどき刃のごとく 　闇をつらぬき　真実を見い出す 　未来に幸いあれ　花の乙女 　前途に祝福あれ　光の乙女

...the lips of the cherry peach and the cheeks of the rose. 　The maiden with the bewitching spirit is called Lephiya. 　The white light that overflows from within 　Soft as the spirit's light feathers 　The way you look at me is like a blade at times. 　Through the darkness, we find the truth. 　Blessed future, maiden of flowers. 　Blessings on the road ahead, maiden of light.

Refia’s initial reaction is subdued (though what she’s feeling exactly, is unclear) but after Luneth apologizes to the bard saying that Refia has a habit of not being meek, this prompts her into a more sincere response. The Bard is thrilled as beans to be complimented by his muse and he vows to continue working on poetry. As thanks, he teaches the party poetry, making the bard job the only job not to be gained from a crystal or crystal fragment.

And thus is the story of Refia and the Spoony Bard.
