Nothing yet, but I'll find it.

The way to end this Aquarian Age is in this City somewhere.

~~Haruna, I will make it end so you can wake up again.~~

[ooc; Naoya, sans the choice to attend school; never had a friend, never met Mana, and never was mindbreaked by her; still a psychic, and his mindbreaker potential is untouched and, to him, his twin sister is still in her psychic coma]

&07; memory lane [video]

2008-08-07T04:49:52Z

[An autumn scene comes into focus, with an young boy wearing a fur-lined jacket, with band-aids a band-aid pressed over his nose, and one on an old cut along his jaw. His hands are in his pockets and he is looking intently at something.]

I missed your vitals, you won't die.

[The camera shifts to show a student some years his senior, her uniform ragged and bloodstained where a hand clamps over one of many a fresh wounds while young Naoya is no worse for the wear.]

Go home. And don't ever show your face again.

[Rain begins to fall and he turns away, looking back only once.]

You chose the wrong opponent. I'm Itsuki, from E.G.O.

[The rainfall increases and the scene blurs and fades to black at the end of the memory.]

[ooc; Naoya's too busy working/talking with Amou/snoozing/being Naoya to notice this memory up on the network, loloops]

&06; dramatic cue [handwritten]

[dramatic script replaces the typical font of a network post]

My beloved, I long for you!

This mind cannot vanquish the sight of such pools of (insert eye colour here) that are the eyes of your soul.

We must be! Nay, your lover will slay me, but I cannot ignore these feelings that I hold deep within my manhood!

Come to me, run away with me! I shall meet you (insert secret location here) and we shall forever be together!

Letters tailored to the love of your life! One mere Green is all that separates you and your beloved from an eternity of bliss and privacy with your star-crossed lover!

Super part-timer Itsuki will also hand-deliver the message with whatever gift you want. Don't delay! Romance her today!

[ooc; not cursed, but who can blame him for trying 'help' others?]

The snow's nice, reminds me of some childhood vacation I never really got to take.

But if it gets any colder, it's going to be a pain to sneak out for a cigarette.

Anyone need professional help with building snowmen? I charge reasonable rates!

&best places to nap;
- the roof
- behind the couch
- on ~~Kaname's~~ the bed
- under ~~Kaname's~~ kotatsu
- in any classroom

A guy's got to get his rest after a late night shift, we all agree on that.

&city's top ten employers;

- Shouichi Irie
- Cardinal Caterina Sforza
- Jacuzzi Splot
- Cirucci
-
-
-
-
-
-

Come on, there's gotta be some entrepreneurs who want to top this list. Give me a chance and I'll give you a spot!

&potential mindbreak candidates;
- Gino Weinberg
- Pai Mei Lin (a pretty girl is always needed on any team)
- Mister D. Nial
- "Madeline"

I can't sit here forever. The war goes on at home, and it could spread here. I want her to be prepared for when it does.

There are a lot of people sick here, but that doesn't seem like a tactic of any of the five factions. I'd help, but my healing's only good for open wounds. Maybe Amou could do something if he were here. Damn, guys, you sure are picking a bad time to be late.

Goldfish and roommate all taken care of, but it's getting pretty boring. ~~Who knew it could be this quiet without school and work?~~

Since I could use the extra cash: Who needs some part-timer help?

Super juvenile Itsuki is here to answer your labour shortage needs! Doesn't matter what the work is, I can do it. I've flipped burgers, served coffee, peddled windchimes, tested cellular phones, and that's just the start of it. No skill can go unacquired, so leave it to me.

[ooc; technically gossip cursed, otherwise the first paragraph would have been filtered private |D]

&02; forget clocks?

2008-06-20T03:53:37Z

No signs of the others yet. That puts me in even a worse predicament. I'm not meant to fend for myself, guys, really!

Guess this means I'm in a real pinch. Only one thing left to do now.

Hey! Anyone have a spare goldfish?

I've gotta get rid of this ticking. I can't nap with it always going, it throws off my rhythm. The fish'll help, according to the locals.

I suppose the other option is finding a roommate. Anyone need one of those?

&01; forget kansas?

2008-06-16T23:26:42Z

What happened to all the Wiz-Dom that were wandering around here the past two days, huh? First a castle, then a city; this place has all the makings of a dream, but pinching myself hurts, damn it.

Right.

Looks like this isn't some dream I'm having ~~sleeping through~~ during first period. Ticking hasn't turned into Tomonori tapping his foot or throwing something at me for nodding off during his lecture.

Guess that makes me stranded here?

That's not real convenient for me, because I need to get back to my master as soon as possible. Anyone got a good line on some magic taxi cab out of this place?

Hey, Kaname! Get your ~~winged~~ self here and give me a ride back, okay? I swear, I'll actually do my homework next week and let you copy it! ~~Still counts if I just copy Amou's and let you copy off that.~~

[series]: Juvenile Orion [wiki]
[character]: Itsuki Naoya

[character history / background]:

Naoya was born into the war of the past two thousand years, bound by blood and power to the E.G.O. faction and destined to die on the streets. To add to this charmed life, he was the only male kin of his generation and, despite the fact that his mother disowned the family and cut all ties in her youth, pressure fell on him to be what the E.G.O. and family felt he should be. However, Naoya always knew that there was something else in his future that would not weigh him down to the old ties.

Youthful innocence quickly hardened as Naoya fell into the cold routine of his world. Battle and the use of his powers turned into the normal as representatives of other factions picked on the boy, but he turned out strong enough to survive each of them with scrapes and bruises. The one thing that Naoya did was tried to leave his opponents alive, as though to slow the cycle that seemed doomed to consume them all.

The older that Naoya survived to be, the more that he felt he had a mission to end it, and the more he craved to find the one who could save him from it. The battles tired him, but worse was having to see his sister, Haruna, suffer as the shadows human sins overcame her and forced the E.G.O. to bind her in a coma-like state. That hardened Naoya, stirring his resolve to find a way to end the war -- and it was the rise of the mindbreakers that gave him the means.

Since mindbreakers could control others, Naoya saw them as the opportunity to force a way into peace and make the fighting stop. He began to search for one that would have the power he needed, and he started by enrolling into school and mingling with humans who were ignorant to the strife that had torn his childhood apart. There he made his first friend -- Kusakabe Kaname -- and proceeded to fall into a life that felt almost normal (aside from his penchant to hold multiple part-time jobs and never get his homework done... creepily accurate to the norm).

There, he finally found the mindbreaker he was looking for. Kirihara Mana had the power sealed inside her, but Naoya tested her potential in battle and was defeated when Kaname -- mindbreaked into his Darklore power by Mana -- interceded to protect her. The power that had reawakened Kaname also touched him, a warmth that he found himself desiring to protect, making Mana a master that he accepted and swore to defend.

From there, though things got more dangerous, pieces began to fall into place. Naoya found others that Mana touched with her mindbreaker power and drew them together into a team that all desired to protect the warm light that she radiated. Even his sister was freed from her bindings by Mana, stirring the hope and determination that an end to the war was possible.

The battles would not end so fast, as the mindbreaker Kaoru proved with her soldiers, but the chance stood there and there was no question that Naoya would follow it, to find a world without the dark and the cold that had hounded his. To find the world that Kirihara Mana would bring them to.

[character abilities]:
Being a member of the E.G.O. (Evolutionary Girls Organisation -- wrong gender, he knows), Naoya is in possession of abilities that fall more into the 'psychic' realm, rather than the spells of the Arayashiki or the legendary bestial forms of the Darklore. Telekinesis -- force applied by thought -- is his specialty and Naoya applies it both offensively and defensively without much effort. Telepathy is better left to his twin sister, Haruna, as he is limited more to hearing what a telepath puts in his mind than projecting. And while he has minor skill at healing, he would rather beg off healing from Amou, who is far more naturally inclined to it.

[character personality]:

Naoya radiates the impression that he has it together. Confident and regarded as cool by classmates, he's neither the jock nor the geek, living in a happy medium that distinguishes him more by his penchant to hit on the cute, new girl and to beg out of classes and homework (due to work and the need to nap from too much of it). He skims along just below the radar threshold, for though he is known by many, he keeps himself from being notorious in the eyes of the faculty and others his age.

The thing to know about Naoya is that this, though founded by his personality, is mostly a series of airs designed to disconnect his reality from the normal. Having grown up in the era of a hidden war, this carefree attitude is a projection that disguises his motivations and determinations to find an end to the fighting and darkness of the Aquarian Age.

Around friends, Naoya tends to shrug off responsibility and spends a lot of his time playing the goof, filling silences with little comments that make others laugh or doubletake, all the while never taking up a serious role. This is the side of him that has no problem begging to copy the answers for last class's homework off of Kaname, not to mention the antics of teasing Isshin (spelling?) about his little crush on Mana, or smiling at the akward responses of Amou as he runs into him job after job. "Likeable" works best to describe him when Nayoa is allowed to relax himself and have that bit of fun his life otherwise denies.

Then there's Naoya of the E.G.O., where he is forced to become serious and show that he has a mind capable of calculating the actions of others and observing the little quirks that may betray them as anything more than human. Naoya is driven to survive, and has tried to become as ruthless as others, to not be like the little boy that asked his mother why they walked by someone who lay dying on the ground. This does not work too well, as he tends to strike in ways to miss vital organs, and when he does, he is first to try and heal the worst damage. Ending the war isn't going to happen by destroying everyone, but he thinks (and maybe even hopes) that if he leaves others alive, they'll do the same in the future.

There are threads between the faces that he has to show each world, a joker of sorts in both, and a survivor of different means. Naoya does not consider himself a fighter -- without Mana to mindbreak the limits of his power, he quips himself as the weakest of the five that serve her. But where he is not a fighter, Naoya is loyal and adaptable, doing his best in any situation to protect the girl who gave him the warm light that he needed to save him from this Aquarian Age.
