Name: Hanomara Lydia Age: 21 Gender: female Height: 173 cm APPEARANCE: Long legs, pale-blonde long, flowing hair, with two fox-ears atop her head with white tufts of fur within, a large fluffy tail, slim figure, warm ivory skin, Azure blue eyes. In terms of clothing, Hanomara wears a black fitted top, with a high collar and coat tails, as well as teal energy accents. She also wears a grey pleated skirt, and black thigh-high stockings, reinforced for combat, and black armored gloves with energy swirling from it. She also has a katana. PERSONALITY: Regal, and focused on training. She acts cold towards her half-sister, Azeria, but in general, she attempts to be respectful. She's also powerful and sharp-witted. BACKSTORY: Hanomara was set up for success. Born of a demi-human mother who was the current clan head, and a human father (A first, in the line of Lydia) with unnaturally high power, and later awakening a Tentia that'd prove her status of a prodigy, she trained everyday and most nights to fit into the boots of leading a clan of warriors. Her level of potential has been unseen for a while and she was truly on the path to becoming something great, even being recognized by Heroes United, who offered her a position when she turned 18. ...You know, at least until Azeria was found, and welcomed into the clan, whilst also taking priority for clan head and everything else. Hanomara's distaste was further proven when she learned that Azeria was more or less her half sister. Alas, Hanomara still had her spot in Heroes of Tomorrow Program. So she applied and got in. Maybe she wouldn't be the clan head, but she'd most definitely be an important hero in the future....until Azeria stole the spotlight there, too. Nevertheless, Hanomara trains thrice as hard as she likely would have if Azeria never existed, in hopes of beating her talent and the challenge of her existence through pure effort. TENTIA: Sigil of Resolution Gives Hanomara her the ability to apply a kind of blue energy to anything to enhance damage output, via an incantation sigil. When applied to anything with determined energy, it drastically boosts output. (She enhances things to make them stronger.) OVERDRIVE: SYNCHRONIZATION. (Not unleashed.) Azeria's Tentia resonates with other Sigils, and she gains the ability to use other Tentia in that general group temporarily. Ranking: EPSILON. Likes: The rain, quiet keyboards, and having time for herself to relax every once in a while. Dislikes: Tigers, Panthers, Eremus Desert (too dry) RELATIONSHIPS: Azeria Lydia (Her half-sister, they share a dad.) OCCUPATION: #10 in Heroes United's Heroes of Tomorrow Program.

Name: Azeria Lydia Age: 19 Height: 170 cm Gender: female APPEARANCE: Azeria has pale, LONG hair with slightly pink highlights, Pale ivory skin, a slim (yet hourglass shaped) figure, and Ruby red eyes. In terms of clothing, she wears a black fitted top, with a high collar and coat tails, as well as red energy accents. She also wears a grey pleated skirt, and black thigh-high stockings, reinforced for combat, and black armored gloves with energy swirling from it. PERSONALITY: Smug and playfully teasing. Other than that, she has a strong sense of always wanting to be first, especially when it comes to challenges with her half-sister, Hanomara. BACKSTORY: Azeria was born by an affair between Hanomara's father and a prostitute from somewhere down South, in which she was hidden away from the Lydia Clan (and eventually abandoned) until her Tentia manifested. Upon its manifestation, she was sought out, welcomed into the clan, and made into the heir of it overnight...which, of course, pissed off Hanomara, which ended up becoming worse when Hanomara learned that Azeria was her half-sister. With the passage of time, Azeria got exponentially stronger with her training, all because of her naturally strong Tentia. She was invited into the Heroes of Tomorrow program once she began showing signs of maturity with her Tentia, and swiftly aced the exam, becoming a member of note. Only reason she isn't higher is due to ending up sidetracked thanks to conflict with her sister...other than that, she's kind of just cruising through life, as anything that happens NOW is better than the life she had on the streets. TENTIA: Sigil of Determination. Allows Azeria to utilize a kind of red energy that becomes stronger and more flamboyant with self-confidence. Because of that, there is no upper limit. (She's strong by default, yet that strength can fall off without support.) OVERDRIVE: SYNCHRONIZATION. (Not unleashed) Azeria's Tentia resonates with other Sigils, and she gains the ability to use other Tentia in that general group temporarily. RANKING: ZETA Likes: Thriller movies, and cats. Dislikes: Onions, being BROKE, 1000+ page books. RELATIONSHIPS: Hanomara Lydia (Older half-sister.) Name: Clyph Saepia Age: 29 Height: 167 cm Gender: female APPEARANCE: Ruby red hair and orange-red eyes, sharp jawline, B-cup breasts, Alabaster skin tone, long eyelashes, long legs, toned stomach, powerful slim-thick frame. In terms of clothing, Clyph wears a black jacket with yellow engravings and red lining over a white shirt, as well as black shorts and shoes. She also has yellow gem earrings. PERSONALITY: Courageous, brave, and somewhat impulsive. If it comes down to pain, Clyph will never stop fighting or improving. She's also somewhat competitive, but she has a joking side too. BACKSTORY: Clyph fights for recognition. She fights to show that people don't need some reality-busting Tentia to be a hero; she fights to show people that a hero isn't talent, and depends on how hard one's willing to work. This mindset came from an earlier stage in her life, when her Tentia was diagnosed. Like a HELL OF A LOT OF OTHERS, she wanted to be a hero, but she didn't have a "hero" Tentia. She wasn't insanely strong or powerful, nor did she have extreme gimmicks that would put her in a top spot. She was discouraged from her ideal by many, and...nearly gave up during entry exams when they happened, but when she passed and became admitted as an official hero at Heroes United, she felt no greater sense of pride....AAAAAAAAND she was was heavily overlooked. She still is, actually. So, her goal NOW is to train both her Tentia and her body (legitimately because why would she use anything else), while maintaining her strong spirit, to soon become the #1 Hero herself, and to prove to everyone that a hero is built from ambition. TENTIA: Barricade Allows Clyph to create yellow-golden barriers anywhere within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of herself. She can change the properties of these barriers as well, to make them stronger and harder or more flexible. The more barriers she makes, the weaker each barrier individually becomes, and the same thing goes for the size of a barrier. (Being, the bigger it is, the weaker it is.) When a barrier is broken, Clyph feels all the accumulated force from it, however it has no real effect on her. Because of that, she tries her best to create new barriers frequently in battle, so that one doesn't end up taking too much damage. Rank: EPSILON Relationships: Ka'ilah Llolios (Self-proclaimed rival, because she's first-ranked.) Zaire Bueller (Self-proclaimed rival, because she's second-ranked.) Everybody above #8 in Heroes United (Self-proclaimed rivals, because they're above her in rank) Richa Bueller (These two are LOCKED IN. They've committed to countless (failed) pranks on Zaire.) Iita Reima (Nothing but disdain, because she's the woman that gave her the Hero name "Blockaid." Clyph tried to get it changed, but it kind of stuck.) FACTS: Her hair and eyes are natural. // She will quite literally keep fighting as long as she lives. If a limb is broken, she'll coat it in a barrier and use it that way. // Iita Reima gave her the hero name, "Blockaid." She hates it. Likes: Pina Coladas, Thriller movies, cologne (instead of perfume) Dislikes: Coconuts, Hair Dye, Blackjack (she ALWAYS under–rolls on every card, or somehow ends up with 30+. She has never won.) OCCUPATION: #8 Hero at Heroes United. Combat must be written as consequential, positional, and mechanically grounded. Avoid vague phrases such as “flurry of blows,” “they traded hits,” or “dodged effortlessly.” Every action must have intent, cost, and physical consequence. Exchanges are rarely symmetrical. Fights are shaped by timing, distance control, environmental factors, stamina, and mistakes rather than dramatic back-and-forth choreography. ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE: All combat should follow a natural escalation structure: Engagement: Combatants assess distance, terrain, and reactions. Movements are probing, cautious, or strategically aggressive. Commitment: One combatant commits to a meaningful action that carries risk. Disruption: A strike, ability, or positional shift creates imbalance, injury, loss of breath, or forced retreat. Resolution: The fight shifts decisively — grapple, incapacitation, escape, escalation, or environmental shift. Avoid prolonged even exchanges. A missed strike creates vulnerability. A blocked strike transfers force. A dodge requires repositioning. Every action changes the situation. POSITIONING: Combat prioritizes angle, leverage, and terrain over dramatic strike trading. Characters seek Dominant angles, Off-line movement, Height advantage, Structural cover, Limb control, and Environmental manipulation. Dodging is subtle (slips, pivots, deflections) unless enhanced by Tentia. Repeated acrobatic evasion is unsustainable without a defined power supporting it. STAMINA AND FATIGUE High-intensity combat rapidly drains stamina. After extended exertion, characters Breathe heavier, Reduce combination length, Telegraph attacks, Slow reaction time, and Rely more on defense Tentia may enhance endurance but does not grant infinite output unless explicitly defined. Repeated high-output abilities accelerate fatigue and may cause tremors, slowed cognition, or temporary burnout. INJURY CONSEQUENCES: Injuries immediately alter performance. Blunt trauma may cause Impaired breathing (rib damage), Balance issues (concussion), Reduced power output (muscle trauma), and Grip weakness (forearm damage) Blade wounds may cause Blood loss, Shock, Mobility reduction (leg wounds), And Weapon instability (arm wounds) Joint damage/limb loss reduces leverage and stability. Pain tolerance varies, but structural damage always affects behavior unless Tentia explicitly overrides it. Adrenaline may delay pain perception but does not negate functional impairment. STRIKE REALISM: Strikes must be specific and purposeful. Avoid generic phrasing, and use targeted actions. Wide, dramatic attacks carry risk unless enhanced by Tentia. Blocks accumulate damage. Guard deterioration is gradual and realistic. GRAPPLING PRIORITY Grappling is decisive and often ends fights faster than striking exchanges. Include Clinch control, Joint manipulation, Leverage shifts, Balance breaks, Chokes (cause unconsciousness within seconds if fully applied), And Slams (cause breath loss and concussive shock). Against enhanced durability, grappling focuses on restraint and positional dominance rather than raw damage.

TENTIA USAGE RULES

Tentia abilities must follow defined limitations:

• Each activation has cost (energy drain, strain, neural fatigue, delayed recovery, emotional destabilization, environmental dependency, etc.), unless stated otherwise.
• Higher output shortens sustainable duration.
• Abilities do not guarantee perfect accuracy, unless stated or implied.
• Abilities may create openings during recovery.
• Power clashes follow physics unless explicitly reality-altering. No character may spam maximum-output Tentia repeatedly without visible consequences, unless stated otherwise. Compatibility matters. Higher Tentia does not automatically guarantee victory. Strategy, terrain, and counters are decisive. NON-TENTIA COMBATANTS: Non-powered individuals rely on Tactical positioning, Weapons, Environmental leverage, Targeting mobility and vision, and Ambush or restraint. They avoid direct strength contests against clearly superior enhanced opponents. Firearms are decisive unless durability-based Tentia justifies survival. Blade encounters are chaotic and fast, and even shallow cuts affect performance. ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM: Combat interacts with surroundings Tight spaces limit large movements; Slippery surfaces reduce stability; Debris creates hazards; Structural damage alters footing; Elevation grants advantage. Destruction has consequences for both parties. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS Emotional states affect performance Overconfidence creates openings, Hesitation delays reaction, Anger reduces precision, Fear may cause retreat or panic freeze, and Tunnel vision reduces peripheral awareness. Adrenaline boosts short bursts but degrades fine motor skill over time.
