Oceiros was still comfortably sitting on the floor, taking in as much information as he could about the people he was travelling with as well as anything about the festival. His back was forever grateful for him choosing the ground and not the elevated side most others were sitting.

A sudden noise that seemed to come right behind him startled him, though he quickly realized what it was a moment later. Using both his hands, Oceiros rotated himself and turned to face Liza. Just as he had surmised, he was a few inches away from the tip of her blade.

"Now, now... I think it's pretty obvious who will be participating, is it not? Unless someone hopped on the wrong wagon even if they paid such a hefty amount for it, all of us are going to participate in the festival." He slowly looked around, trying to see if anyone would disagree with that statement.

"That aside, don't you think you'd have better chances working with us, or... some of us, at least? You'd best not underestimate the amount of people who take place in this, right, Mr. Chester?"

Not mention of teamwork was mentioned while they were travelling but it was definitely possible for them, especially given how one of them had participated before.

"How does that sound?" Oceiros turned back to Liza, offering her a handshake.

As if it wasn't already crammed, the last thing Oceiros expected was someone to pull a katana out and sharpen the damn thing using the very flood that barely supported us.

"You sure?" he replied. It was clear something was on her head. "Well,I'll uhh..." he paused for a moment. "I'll just sit down here." he said as he briefly got up only to sit at the floor, his back cracking as he finally was able to sit straight. He managed to sit somewhat close to the person who has participated before, looking up at them with undivided attention as if it were his own parents telling him a fairytale.

"Spare no detail!" he finally added. "Who's they?.. Don't tell me..." he hushed his lips, turning to the side as if to think. "A god? You got the attention of the gods?" His voice filled with childlike wonder filled the small room they were in.

"You must go?" Oceiros tone was clearly filled with curiosity. He leaned forward even further, trying to listen to what he thought would be an epic tale full of thrills.

It was rather comforting seeing people get along in this ride. "First timer here too." he added as he barely scooched closer.

Oceiros noticed the person next to him was almost clammed up, messing with something on her hand and looking at the floor. "Hey, is everything alright?" he quietly turned to her. "I can ask the old man to stop for a bit if you need some fresh air if you want." he gestured at the general direction where the driver was sitting.

One would assume the excruciating pain Oceiros' wallet went through to acquire a ticket, it would also guarantee a comfortable ride to the festival. Not only was the carriage at the brink of collapse, he himself could barely fit inside.At least the driver was hearty. Oceiros was constantly hunched over for the entire duration of the trip but that didn't stop him from smiling ear to ear, eagerly waiting for his moment to shine.

Having a few glances around, it was clear very few shared his enthusiasm. "Don't fret, lad!" he playfully nudged anyone he saw being troubled. "This is THE adventure of a lifetime! No such adventure starts with a wagon made of gold to get you to where you need." he added, taking another look at the poor state of the wagon. The creaking panks, which most of them were missing nails, the foul quality of the poor excuse for curtains that were the dangling, slightly ripped pieces of cloth. Even such minute details would forever be a fond memory for Oceiros.

"Alright comrade, the festival has begun! Let's give these gods a show to remember!"
Show hidden content

Name:
Oceiros Sulyvahn

Age:
29 in human years

Pronouns:
He/Him

Gender:
Male

Race:
Dragonborn

Class:
Behemoth

Magic/Weaponry:
Oceiros wields two short-swords. One imbued with fire and the other imbued with ice. Oceiros is able to extend the range of those elements a distance equal to the length of the blade, allowing him to basically wield average-sized swords.

Personality:
Oceiros tends to almost immediately get attached to others and proudly call them comrades, some even dare call him the definition of being affable. Albeit loud, he's a very considerate and kind person, willing to lay down his life for his dear 'comrades' sans hesitation. Others have also commented how easily he would fall head over heels for any unfortunate woman that dared to make eye contact with him, though Oceiros claims he is working on it.

Appearance:
Oceiros is a relatively tall dragonborn, standing at a respectable 216cm with very soothing light blue scales. Even though he often uses his jade eyes to get the attention of women, he almost always fails. Although he's always wearing this very cheap and almost self-made adventurer armor, with noticeable patches and padding, he never wears a helmet. Probably because nothing fits. Regardless, his face doesn't have any scars and the condition of his body is unknown.

Backstory:
Ice magic is common within the Sulyvahn family, it was expected Oceiros would have some affinity to it. Soon after he reached adulthood, having a relatively jubilant upbringing, he set out with a young friend of his on their very first adventure. The two of them were enjoying their first ever taste of freedom and adventure, exploring faraway lands and anything that caught their attention ranging from caves to remote cities. During a dungeon exploration,the group came across a mage of some sorts and before they had the chance to act, they fell unconscious. When Oceiros came to, he was alone. No sign of his comrade except the short-sword. Soon after a closer inspection, he noticed a big part of his body had turned red and was oddily swollen, as if it was scorched, and the sword he picked up reacted as if his comrade was holding it, with flames enveloping the blade. One person using two different attributes of magic? That was unheard of. Could he...really have merged with his comrade? Years have since passed, and Oceiros' curiosity has yet to be satiated and there hasn't been a moment he hasn't thought about his comrade, even if his soul might be inhabiting Oceiros' body. Oceiros often tends to avoid the topic about his body and how he acquired the other short-sword.

Other:

The room was grand,that much is true. Proper lighting,spacious and squeaky clean as well. It appeared they were some other people before them,though they seemed almost surprised when the late lot entered. What could they be talking about? Were they even calmly talking about anything?

No matter. Alcyone just took a seat and waited. She was startled when the screen and the stage lit up,visibly jumping. Even though the whole presentation was impressive,Alcyone wondered if there was any other reason why Ms. Poppins couldn't make a physical appearance.

Visibly bored,Alcyone kept listening to the Headmaster yap until she finally revealed their quest. Alcyone felt tense and couldn't help but fidget and sweat a bit.

.
"Infiltrate the government agency? Get rid of them? Does that mean..." she shuddered. The thought of her having to kill and mortally wound someone made her skin crawl. This hunt was the last thing she expected.

Though it was quickly revealed to Alcyone that Kiase wasn't mute,it didn't take a person with powers to realize that Kiase's expression remained the same,if not even more irritated. She quickly let go of his hand and lowered her cap in an attempt to conceal her embarrassment.

Glancing back at Phoebes,she only gestured upwards,signaling that Kiase wasn't actually mute.With that out of the way,she adjusted the bag's strap on her back and started walking.

"Well then.... With that out of the way,shall we head to the auditorium? We don't want to be late now,do we?"

Alcyone's life flashed before her eyes as a patch of grass leaped on her causing her to move backwards and lose her footing,already struggling to maintain her posture due to the bag's weight. Luckily,she was pulled forwards not a moment later.

"The weight of this bag pales in comparison to the pressure of survival..." she muttered,not as audibly. "Mister... Slenderman?" Alcyone squinted her eyes in curiosity. Her grip on that long-haired individual's hand got firmer and firmer as Alcyone's eyes locked on to the person's. Whether it was mental or physical,some form of pressure was necessary.

"Now then," she tilted her head,fully invested in the next words or even thoughts they would have. It wasn't necessary for a person to speak for Alcyone to tell whether or not they were lying. After all,little chatter can be heard over on poker tables. ",are you really mute?" There was no way a mute person would be able to survive in an institute such as this,unless of course they were extremely powerful which could also very well be the case.

Honestly,maybe the weight of the bag wasn't so bad after all. Alcyone could easily support herself on it by placing her arm over it to catch a breath. She let her mind wander for a bit,going as far back as the moment she entered this accursed place. Cut-throats,vile people and thieves all rounded up here. Quite a jump from cheating people and scamming them,and yet she managed to keep her head on her shoulders. There were times she couldn't catch a wink out of paranoia.

Her arm instinctively reached the pocket in which rested the knife she waved around whenever she was in danger. And that was enough for her consciousness to return. .

Lots of different faces,lots of people missing. Just how long was she lost in thought for? "The child!" she thought to herself. Phoebes was far from a child regarding her age but that was the simplest and yet most accurate way one could describe her.

Luckily,amidst her panicked search for her,looking left and right as if she was lost,Phoebes let out a loud yell to some Persephone. ["i]Yet another...friend...[/i]" Alcyone sighed.

She quickly picked up her bag and hurriedly walked towards that direction,eventually finding her. Among them was another person Alcyone had seen around in the institute,always alone. Even now they seemed to long for some alone time.

"Made a new friend?" Alcyone asked,her tone being anything but positive. The more people they came in contact with,the more Alcyone would have to maneuver around words and meanings. She has been doing that for years ever since she last slipped and it was beginning to get rather tiring. Though,part of her enjoyed the ambiguity of life.

Greeting any underclassmen he came across,Leonidas was basically beaming,smiling from ear to ear. Given how many highs and lows,mostly lows,he had during his time in the academy,to say that he was overjoyed that its conclusion would be among the highs is an understatement. He was still in disbelief that THE Eris agreed to go on the ball with him. He was truly ecstatic.

As soon as he stepped outside,he almost immediately spotted her. Leonidas couldn't help but gape at how beautiful she looked. The white dress leading to a nice red accent,the elegant eyeshadow. What was there not to like?

Of course,he too tried to look his best. Wearing a black suit that almost gave off a gentlemanly feel to it,though its purpose was to emphasise his hair he was most confident in and overall facial characteristics,and matching pants,Leonidas really tried his best not to let Eris down. Coincidentally,his black suit and her mostly white dress matched in a way. Though thay could just be Leonidas' subjective opinion.

He gently approached her,though it appeared his rather bright hair gave him away. "Good morning." he curtsied. "You look..." he prolonged,trying to quickly think of what Ayran would say in this situation. "You look phenomenal." he tried to put the necessary amount of emphasis in that last word. He was really in awe.

This "reformation" institute was indubitably filled with oddballs. Though,throughout Alcyone's stay, stalking was definitely a first. She watched as Phoebes bounced around the hall until she eventually made it to another person.

She felt the world around her stop for a moment as she witnessed Phoebes pull that poor person's hair and immediately dropped her bag. Seeing as they'd do a small detour to gather the people who were summoned to the auditorium,Alcyone let her bag reach the ground and just rested on it,being on standby should Phoebes' victim decide to fight back.

It seemed like a wonder that kid was able to make it through the year behaving like and approaching all these criminals like they're friends ever since childhood. Or maybe there's more to her than it seems.

It's...actually not that much..." Alcyone painfully admitted,hoping her physical strength won't be called into question. Maybe the contents of the bag occupied a lot of space but she most definitely didn't pack too much. Not much...actually,no information at all was given or known about this quest they were about to embark on so she took whatever she could to cover as many possible scenarios. Naturally,her trusty knife comfortably rested in her right pocket.

"Either way," she quickly followed up, "some congratulations are in order. As you heard,not everyone is worthy of becoming a fully fledged rebel and,if I'm being completely honest,you don't even look like you'd hurt a fly." And who could blame her for believing that? Naturally,looks can be deceiving and Phoebes was definitely a testament to that. "I bet even you don't know what kind of crimes and their severity you have committed. It's always these types of people that make the best criminals..." she added in a somewhat joking matter.

Even if she was able to somewhat make conversation,she couldn't help but feel like something was off. Namely,the pair of footsteps audible in their surroundings. Among the waves of other soon-to-be rebels,there always seemed as if be one more,concealed. No matter how many times Alcyone tried to locate that extra pair of footsteps,she failed. After a number of failed attempts during some turns and whatnot,Alcyone just gave up. It was especially difficult to concentrate on that with all that murmuring of potential spies and government people infiltrating the institute,not to mention that it made her uneasy. They were getting closer to the auditorium anyway.

"Phoebes...? That's... That's the first name!" Alcyone thought to herself. The moment she revealed that information Alcyone decided to look at her soul,purely out of curiosity. Much to her surprise,she wasn't lying about her name nor about the fact that she didn't know her own age. Strange... What was even stranger was the fact that her soul was a completely pure and undisturbed sphere. Absolutely no sign of lying or deceit. Just how naive was this girl?

Apparently,not naive enough for Phoebes to carry Alcyone's bag for her... Alcyone tried her best to muffle her groans of anguish and disappointment. "Well,seeing as you're one of the rebels who are to take the Graduation Quest as well,there's no reason for us to stand here any longer,is there?" She mostly wanted to take the load off her back as soon as possible and she had barely moved a few meters away from her dorm.

She took a few steps forward,towards the direction of the auditorium and glanced back to see if Phoebes was following,though what she did notice was the lack of luggage and weight on Phoebes' arms and shoulders. "You...You're not taking anything with?" she inquired,genuinely curious.

Leonidas adjusted his suit's collar the millionth time,or so it felt,making sure everything was perfect down to a the last,minute detail. He was still in disbelief he would go to the ball with Eris and he couldn't stop feeling giddy about it,though the conversation they had earlier that previous day was still as clear to him as any memory.

"Impending doom..." he loudly thought to himself. "We'll be the ones to stop it! And then we'll enjoy a proper ball! The ball we deserve!" he added.

After making sure for the billionth time that his hair was decent enough for every other student present to see,he exited his dorm. He and Eris had appointed the entrance of the dorms as their meeting place.

Navigating through the halls,he was met with none of other than his gold-tongued bud. "Goldie!" he exclaimed. A closer inspection,though,revealed that there was another person present,also talking to Ayran. "Mornin' to you too!" he added,addressing the girl whose only visible characteristic from Leonidas' point of view was her rather elegant silver hair.

"Why,someone is in a good mood..." Alcyone thought to herself as she noticed what seemed to be a patch of grass on legs skip towards her general direction. She paid no attention to her,though she soon had no choice but to do otherwise.

"Ah,greetings!" A smirk from ear to ear began to appear on her face. "Indeed,I am one of those-" She gasped. Alcyone almost slipped up. She would have to find a way to twist her words in a way that both satiates her arrogance and were truthful. "No lying." she reminded herself.

She faked a cough. "I am one of those names you heard just a few moments ago. Naturally,you would think they are undoubtedly talented and competent people,a cut above the rest." she added.

"A rather astute observation!" Alcyone cheerfully exclaimed,though her facial expression was beginning to turn into a rather unpleasant one as she struggled to keep her back straight. She took a moment to look at the girl in front of her. Such a wide,honest smile. Eyes that,contrary to their dark color,shone bright with curiosity and naivety. She was just the ideal person for this moment.

"Yes,the bag is quite heavy." she admitted again,in case her previous statement was unclear. "Seeing as you're not carrying anything,would you mind helping me with it?" Hook,line and sinker. Almost...

"Oh my,I must have packed my manners as well! I am Alcyone Lestrade." she nodded and gestured to herself in a way to introduce herself. "Second among those names." She added,pridefully turning her head to the side as if she were to boast. She wasn't sure if the order in which the names were announced mattered but that wouldn't stop her from taking full advantage of that. Anything to make herself seem superior.

Sitting on the edge of her bed,Alcyone was closely examining the pocket knife that managed to somehow keep her alive among all these cut-throats and dangerous people,if one can even refer to those with unimaginable power as such. The staring contest between her reflection and her was brought to a sudden end as the speakers made a rather unpleasant noise,most likely to get the attention of others,before making an announcement.

Alcyone lifted her head up and tilted her head in the direction of the closest speaker to her dorm as if that would help her listen more clearly. The only thing that surprised her more than hearing her own name was the fact that it was pronounced correctly. Only a select few teachers made the effort to listen to her constant complains and correct themselves. It was only natural that she was among those who fulfilled the criteria for the Graduation Quest. All those little machiavelli tests,as she referred to them,she aced were nothing to write home about.

"With our luggage?" she groaned. "Informing us beforehand wouldn't hurt,y'know..." she complained to the invisible voice coming from the speaker that obviously had no way of hearing her. Rocking back to get some momentum,Alcyone sprung up from her bed and packed everything she needed into a bag,which could barely close.

She put on her favourite cap,making sure her ponytail sticks out from it and exited her dorm,trying to find the shortest way to the auditorium. This Graduation Quest must be quite important seeing as it requires the use of it,which wasn't really used as much in comparison with the other facilities.

She would have to make it there before her back gave up from the weight it carried.

"Your soul is wavering...It would be in your best interest to choose your next few words very carefully."

Show hidden content

[Name]
Alcyone Lestrade
[Age]
24

[Gender/Sexuality]
Female/Bisexual

[Personality]
A fair woman in...almost...every meaning of the word. Albeit her strong sense of justice and righteousness,Alcyone is an extremely arrogant individual whose pomposity knows no bounds. No matter how highly she thinks of herself and even acts the part,her true,equitable,nature never fails to show,being no stranger to hardships herself.



[Description]
A relatively short woman (165cm) whose green hat she always wears gives her an illusory,even if scant,boost in height. Alcyone has curly blond hair and a low ponytail can be seen come out of the back of her hat. She wears a green blazer that covers most of her grey shirt. Don't let Alcyone's slim build deceive you. Her body is foreign to exercise and she is a stranger to ostentatious and grand meals,thus explaining why she looks so thin. As far as athletic feats go,the only memories that surface are those of her running away after the places she frequented got busted or people somehow caught on to the fact that she had some sort of upper hand.




[Power]
Alcyone has the innate ability of being able to see the psyche of man,allowing her to read the selected person's intentions as well as tell whether or not they are lying or are being truthful. She has revealed to those select few she trusts that an honest person's soul has a more calm and serene,almost spherical,look while a liar's becomes spiky,though no one else seems to be able to make sense of that statement. Regarding intentions,that part is difficult even for her to understand and,consequently,explain. She has watered it down to being able to feel a slight percentage of what her target is currently feeling and trying her best to accurately interpret it given various factors such as the topic and environment. However,such power requires Alcyone to also constantly speak truthfully if she wants to keep her power. Naturally,it was difficult for her as a child and she found out the hard way that the more she lied,the longer she had to wait for her power to return. It started with a few hours,then days,weeks and last time it took her months. Of course,she can't risk to find out how much that window can extend.

[Backstory]
Born under rather undesirable circumstances,Alcyone's family lived every day hanging by a thread. A thread thin enough that even the most minor and insignificant of inconveniences threatened the already slim chances of them having lunch the following day. That was,until she tried her hand at gambling. Able to read every person in the room,Alcyone was able to successfully put her household in the green,guaranteeing her family's well-being. Painfully average student,though the blame hardly fell on her given how often she would hang out at various underground and suspicious gambling facilities. The worst part is that she was bringing back so much money,her parents couldn't even think about scolding her.

[Examples of Past Crime]
Caught cheating and extortion should suffice as umbrella terms pertinent to the crimes Alcyone has commited.

Leonidas couldn't help but simply nod at Eris' comment about also treating the ball as a celebration, being too flustered to speak because of the unexpected wink.

"Oh, right! I can't wait to see you wearin' what your aunt will prepare for you." he pulled his hands closer to his chest in excitement. "I'll try my best not to disappoint you either!" he added. Truth be told, Leonidas' sense of style wasn't anything noteworthy or impressive. He had one or two outfits at most, for occasions such as these, which he has never worn before. He always kept telling himself that he'd wear them and get more when he managed to attain a higher rank, since he also wanted to look the part, but that moment never came...

"Opposites...?" he inquired,tilting his head in confusion. He barely was able to hear that over how joyous he felt.

Leonidas was taken aback at first but quickly recovered,chuckling at Eris who tried to copy his enthusiasm and straightforwardness. Everything about her reactions were cute. Correction, everything about her was cute, but her reactions even more so.

"It's decided then!" he exclaimed with a rather positive tone. It was really hard to contain his joy, evident from his constant movements. "Let's try to both enjoy the ball and stop whatever evil plan is in the making." It'd be a shame if they only focused on one aspect of the ball,after all. Were they to only have the time of their lives, Leonidas would most likely be filled with guilt for an incredibly long amount of time and if they purely focused on putting a stop to the impending doom, it wouldn't be the kind of memory he would like to have of the last of his days at the academy.

Posted: Thu, 20/06/2024 13:17 (5 Months ago)
Leonidas huffed through his nose and closed his eyes for a very brief moment,trying to best the anxiety and embarrassment he was starting to feel. The people that could be possible overhearing this conversation was the least of his worries now,it wouldn't be the first time he would be rejected publicly anyway.

"Yes!" he replied,rather prideful. His eyes looking intensely at hers. The line between yelling and talking in a prideful manner was always blurry for him,though it was only natural,being the definition of a Banarit. "It would make me the happiest student in all of Riganois to spend the last couple days at the academy with you!"
