About Trisa
Trisa used to be a normal girl, or at least, sort of normal. She had a slight mutation, making her susceptible to the attack of a failed project of the Crey, who were trying to control the Devouring Earth. This mutant plant infused itself with her. She began to learn to control the vines around the age of 10. She loved to examine technology with them, because she found that they could actually connect with the computers around her home. But once, when a computer just stopped, she went and used the vines to try and fix it. The computer had been given a special virus, courtesy of the Crey. Electricity coursed through the vines to her, carrying that virus. The 'failed' project wasn't failed at all, but had just begun. But then the Crey got sloppy. She found out. She now fights them. But she fights for another reason. The vines on her body caused the other children, and even the adults, to dislike her, tease her, ignore her, and so on. This angered her, but she did not fight back. She never fought back. She fought only later, when she determined to be a hero, she determined another thing. She was going to prove to the that she was not a freak. Trisa is a very calm, incredibly polite person, unless you get her mad. Don't get her mad. She generally responds to friendly teasing in kind.
Western wind blow stark, blow strong
Grant me arm and mind of steel
On a road both hard and long
Mother, hear me where I kneel
Let no weakness on my quest
Hinder me, wind of the west
About Ali
Ali is an alien princess from an odd world. She was "accidentally" teleported to earth by a conveniently place spell, and was trapped in a clockwork. Clockwork are Trisa's second favorite thing to fight, and when this weak clockwork went haywire from the strain of holding Ali's mind, it attacked Trisa. Trisa won, of course, and Ali's mind was placed in Trisa's body. Ali knows enough magic to exchange her body with Trisa's body, and also mask her body on her home world. They formed a sort of symbiotic creature, each of them helping the other. Ali does not even want to be the queen of her home world, so she stays on earth. Ali is friendly to people she knows, but can seem very cold to strangers. She can get a little hyper, but not often. She's also never allowed to drink. Ever. Stuff blows up. Lots of stuff.
Northern wind, blow cruel blow cold
Sheathe my aching heart in ice
Armor round my soul enfold
Crone, I need not call you twice
To my foes bring the cold of death
Chill me north wind's frozen breath!
About Atris
Atris is, in theory, the result of both Trisa and Ali trying to be in the same body. Ali was working on a spell to allow this, so that she could later separate into her own body on earth. But, the power of Jaime's suit ((Jaime is another one of my characters.)) interrupted the ritual, and Atris was formed. Atris is very hyper, super silly, and generally fun to be around. She loves making friends. She does tend to 'nom' on people from time to time, earning her the nickname 'Pink' It's a joke from the anime Bleach. But be warned, when angry, Atris is far more deadly then even Ali, burning and blasting everything in sight. But Atris is a powerful empath,though she hasn't had much training beyond emotion sensing, and she's still not good at that- yet. Currently, Atris's best friend in the world, Little Ice Devil, has just... disappeared, and Atris has gotten help to find her. Part of this help comes from Karentea, a gravity mage who dislikes Atris for reasons unknown. As it turns out, a half dragon half succubus named Deamona seems to have abducted Ice with the help of an even more powerful dark being.
Southern wind, blow hot blow hard
Fan my courage to a flame
Southern wind be guide and guard
Add your bravery to my name
Let my will and yours be twinned
Warrior of the southern wind
Out of Combat Information
Longbow, Vanguard, and Arachnos all have files on Trisa. Longbow also has a limited file on Ali, with only what she told them in it. Arachnos has managed to collect a good bit of info on Atris and Ali, but only Vanguard knows all. The Arachnos file has all of their relative ages, their personalities, and even their sexual preference. When not in combat, they tend to hang around Pocket D, and Atris is usually in control. When Ali's in control, it's generally at Atris or Trisa's request. Trisa likes to go to more gothic and dark places, while Atris wants a place to be silly. If their not in the D, they're probably in Kings row, or Skyway city.
Eastern Wind, blow clear blow clean
Cleanse my body of its pain
Cleanse my mind of what I've seen
Cleanse my honor of its stain
Maid whose love has never ceased
Bring me healing from the east
In combat
This is where Arachnos has the most information, second to Vanguard's files. Vanguard keeps their files hidden, so what follows is the Arachnos files. Or part of them, at least.
Trisa
Trisa is a determined opponent. She tends to back up, wait, and blast any operatives who happen to walk by with a painful dose of electricity. You'll find yourself trapped in a scorching hot ring of fire often, and then she prefers to back up again, finishing off her foes from a distance.
Axes flash, broadswords swing,
Shining armor's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight those bastards till they yield
Ali
Ali tends more towards fire than Trisa, but still can use that powerful blast that is Trisa's signature attack. She also tends to run a bit closer, and uses a sword of fire combined with her own form of fire ring. She tends to come back for more if defeated, so watch your back if she goes down.
Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move your feet to a marching drum
We'll win the war and pay the toll,
We'll fight as one in heart and soul
Atris
Atris is the most dangerous of the three. She can use all the powers of the other two, and tends to use them in a random order. She has abilities that neither of the other two have, such as cages of lightning, and an area lighting ball. She uses melee and ranged combat equally, and always, note the always, comes back for more, until she wins.
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till you're no longer sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How many of them can we make die!
About Atris, unusual facts
Atris is unusual, created by magic and tech, able to see through both of them and her normal vision. She was given the traits of a species on a planet exactly between Earth and Ali's planet, and indeed seems to have the same biology as them. On that planet, a pink drink called Gla is a favorite. No side effects, it tastes good to them and makes them stronger. But Gla has a special significance to Atris. It keeps her sane, or at least, sort of sane. She gets a delivery to Pocket D once a month, in a small crystal box. She usually just drinks it there.
About Ali, unusual facts
Ali, being an alien from a planet with weaker gravity, is actually quite lucky to even be able to be on Earth in her natural form. As her species was always unusually strong on her planet, she's only normally strong compared to a human! Ali's planet is mostly desert, all the water underground. Her people live in large, specially designed buildings. All of her people can use some form of fire, and many also learn wind magic. Water magic is nonexistent on her planet, though. Earth magic is used to build their buildings, of course.
About Trisa, unusual facts
Trisa actually prefers to use only her lightning, working with fire as needed. The vines that connect to her body do not work for combat, although they make amazing fine manipulators, able to do nearly microscopic work. Her wings, which are actually a powerful piece of tech that she designed and made, are directly connected to these vines. She loves to work with electronics, and if asked, will try to fix anything you might bring her.
Recent stuff
Trisa, Ali, and Atris have been pretty busy in the past few months. Ali discovered a way home, and then decided that she prefers Earth, Atris accidentally went insane for a while, but she got better. Trisa still has a grudge against the Crey, and has gone as far as to take a DNA sample from them for a villain, although this was kept very secret. She also finally figured out how to make the Voltiac sentinal, which is, in her words, "The cutest little thing EVER!" She also got around to officially making a signiture attack, which would be this:
First, she starts it off with a Build up of her power and careful Aim, starting the combat with a power Thunderous Blast of lightning, usually finishing off most of the foes. This leaves her exhausted, so she gets a bit of energy somehow, usually a nice energized bolt from Atris. Then, she runs into melee, Consuming yet more power from her enemies, then Short Circuiting a special device, which overloads their synapses and leaves the exhausted, and follows this up with a trick from Ali, a flaming circle of fire, from the Fire Sword ((Circle)). Then she tosses behind her a Ball of Lightning, getting out of range fast, blasting any survivors.
