Name: Sayaka Miki
Origin: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Species: Magical Girl
Appearance:
Powers & Abilities:
Magical Girl Physiology - One of the perks of being a Magical Girl is a body enhanced by magic. Magical Girls can shut off their sense of pain if they're so willing, and even ignore damage to or outright removal of vital organs. This only holds true if the Magical Girl herself knows that they no longer need their organs to function. The various improvements to a Magical Girl's body include reaction times capable of dodging or blocking bullets within near melee range, strength capable of cratering concrete floors or cutting through a man sized mass of steel and bone, supersonic bursts of speed, and the capability to scale buildings vertically by repeatedly jumping off of them.
Magical Girl Magic - All Magical GIrls are capable of summoning platforms, healing themselves and others, firing bursts of colored magic, making energy shields, transforming, and spontaneous mastery and mass summoning of their iconic weapon. In Sayaka's case, her favored weapon is a cutlass whose blade can be shot out of its hilt like a pistol or be turned into a bladed whip. In all cases, her cutlass is capable of easily cutting through mundane steel and concrete. Due to her wish, Sayaka possesses passive regeneration and incredibly efficient and effective Healing Magic, allowing her to potentially regenerate entire limbs and more on the spot if needed.
Classical Music Enthusiast - Sayaka can't play a instrument to save her life, nor can she sing in a competition and expect to have a reasonable chance at winning, but she has an ear for Classical Music. She can recognize most, if not all, songs in the genre along with the people and stories behind them.
Weaknesses:
Despite her newfound powers, Sayaka is still a Middleschooler with everything that entails. She's easily carried away by her emotions and is unwilling to compromise her beliefs no matter what. She's quick to judge people based on first impressions and will rarely change her mind.
In combat, her bravery borders foolishness, further encouraged by her incredibly efficient healing ability and desire to live up to her own ideals of what a True Hero should be. This becomes especially dangerous due to the nature of the Soul Gem. It's destruction will cause her to instantaneously die, and her body to shut down if the distance between the Gem and her body ever exceeds 100 meters. The use of Magic also creates a polluting substance called Grief in the Soul Gem that makes her more irritable and emotional. If the Soul Gem is filled with Grief, it's a automatic game-over for Sayaka regardless of physical condition.
Attack Potency: Large Building Class
Speed: Supersonic+
Lifting Strength: Superhuman
Striking Strength: Large Building Class
Durability: Building Class
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Extended Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters with Range Attacks
Intelligence: Above Average Middle Schooler
Equipment on Hand:
Soul Gem - A blue egg shaped gem that can transform into a gray ring for the sake of convenience. Capable of tracking Witches and their familiars, and acts as the source of Sayaka's Magic. Must be kept within a 100 meters of her at all times, and must be cleansed with Grief Seeds to clear the Gem from being filled with Grief and consequently exploding.
Flip Phone - Colored blue to match Sayaka's hair. Contains nothing special.
Brief Bio/History*: Born to a loving family, Sayaka Miki lived an ordinary life by all accounts. She was raised in Mitakihara City along with her childhood friends Hitomi Shizuki, Madoka Kaname, and Kyousuke Kamijou. Between her merry band of misfits, Sayaka always was the outgoing one, a stark contrast to Hitomi's reserved and regal act, Madoka's meek nature, and Kyousuke's air headed demeanor. Growing up, she described her life as "Petite Bourgeoisie", and slowly developed feelings for Kyousuke. However, the boy always was busy honing his skill with the Violin, and try as she or Hitomi might, they could never keep up. Soon, Kyousuke was ahead of them by leaps and bounds, a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy by all accounts. She and Hitomi simply had to content themselves with enjoying his music and the genre he played, resulting in almost encyclopedic knowledge of the topic.
Then, it happened. Sayaka and Kyousuke were involved in a car accident. She got out of it relatively intact, but Kyousuke lost the use of his right hand and consequently, the bright future that awaited him in the musical world. To this day, she wishes she had been the one to be hospitalized instead.
Sayaka visits Kyousuke almost daily in the hospital, doing the best she can to comfort the boy her heart desires, but when he finally received news that he would never recover, a miracle occurred later that night. Unbeknownst to him, a girl had bargained with the laws of the world for his sake, and in exchange, she would never live a normal life again.
Brief Personality Description*: An Optimist and a Romantic to the very core, Sayaka believes that Heroes really do exist, and she wants to, has to, live up to them. In her social circle, she's often the silly one, the member most likely to get up to hi-jinks and the least likely to express her worries for fear of being a burden. She holds everyone around her, herself included, to a unrealistic standard of virtue and is compelled to right any wrong she sees. Thanks to this, she can be incredibly brave, especially if it's for her friends and family. However, it also means she's quick to judge and will rarely change her opinion on someone once it's formed. She's also stubborn and holds her beliefs with an unwavering will. To her, she'd rather hold onto them and die than give up even in the face of logic and certain doom.

Name: Shut Hell, the Evil One, Little Sparrow
Origin: Shut Hell
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, Mid-20s to Mid-30s
Species: Undead
Appearance:
Powers & Abilities:
Weapons Proficiency - Everything from swords, to spears, crossbows and sickles. Shut Hell has used them all at one point. As a common infantryman, she was given rudimentary training in their use and maintenance, and as the 'Evil Spirit' that hounds after the Mongols, she has gained valuable experience on how to best use them for killing.
Animal Husbandry - As an infantryman, Little Sparrow was never taught how to ride. However, she was forced to learn if she ever wanted to chase after the Mongol Army. She has turned out to be an excellent horseman capable of killing enemy cavalrymen and commandeering their horse in the midst of battle. Likewise, wolves and other scavengers have a particular fondness for her, going so far as to treat her like a member of their pack.
Banditry - Often outnumbered by her foes, Shut Hell relies on ambushes to throw her enemies off balance. Her plans usually include animals like oxen she drove into a frenzy to act as meat shields, or rudimentary mechanical traps.
Acrobatics - Rarely does Shut Hell stand her ground. In combat, she'll always be moving around from horse to horse if need be, using acrobatics to help hasten the process and throw her opponents for a loop.
Intimidation - Shut Hell's fighting style is quick and efficient, a veritable whirlwind of gore and blades, however, the glee at which she does it has made her a legend during the Mongol Invasion of China. While she no longer seeks to listen to the fading heartbeats of dying men or bite their throats out simply because her arms are predisposed, she has a undeniable presence in the battlefield, one that rattles the nerves of even disciplined Mongol troops. When Shut Hell can't get what she wants through violence, the promise of such is usually enough.
The Heritage of Taika - Shut Hell is among the few that remain capable of speaking, writing, and reading the language of Western Xia.
Blood of the Wolf Spirit - Shut Hell seems to be incapable of staying dead. When she was finally caught and hanged, she came back to life during a tempest. However, since she no longer lives, her body has lost the ability to heal itself and the loss of blood seems to impact how well she fights and moves.
Weaknesses:
Shut Hell has lost the ability to speak after her throat was slit open, forcing her to resort to body language and the written word if she wants to communicate. However, the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan have destroyed any trace of the Tangut Language, meaning that no one will be capable of understanding what she writes.
In combat, Shut Hell is a incredibly skilled combatant who is incapable of dying, however, her wounds cannot heal naturally. The best she can do is sew them shut, but without a trained surgeon, the wound will likely open again and once she's lost enough blood, she slows down to the point of being incapable of moving.
Attack Potency: Street Level
Speed: Superhuman
Lifting Strength: Class 1
Striking Strength: Street Level
Durability: Street Level
Stamina: Peak Human
Range: Extended Melee Range
Intelligence: Uneducated Peasant
Equipment on Hand:
Jian - A steel Chinese straight sword looted from the corpse of a soldier. Designed for use with one hand, the lack of ornate decoration marks it as the sword of a common infantryman.
Kusarigama - A sickle tied to a iron counterweight by a cord of rope. Looted from the corpse of a common infantryman.
Great Wolf Pelt - The pelt of a wolf as large as two men with paws that could crush an adult's head. It's excellent black fur is spoiled by the smell of dried blood from countless battles, but it keeps Shut Hell warm during cold nights.
Brief Bio/History*: Shut Hell's past is a mystery, even to her. What's her real name? Who were her parents? Did she have any siblings? No one knows, not even her. In the smoldering ruins of a unnamed fortress, all that was left of the "Little Sparrow" was a animal who lost all sense. She had always relied on her fellow soldiers, never having excelled in the martial arts, but when she laid down her life so that those she relied on could live, destiny laughed as her friends were struck down and she was left alive.
She had spent months defending those nailed to the fortress' wall from scavengers. Everything from crows to wolves came to feast on the remains, but every time, they were rebuffed. That would end when a great wolf large enough to crush a man came to talk to her. It asked what she was doing, defending corpses whose humanity left them long ago. It asked her why she insisted on killing them when all they were trying to do was survive, while she fought for nothing. They were not her enemy, the Mongols were so why was she staying in a place filled with nothing but death and denying them of life?
The duel saw the wolf beheaded, its blood used to desecrate the bloody graffiti of the tiger on the walls of a place she once called home.
Shut Hell journeyed after the Tiger Man, slaughtering Mongols along the way in search of him. This cultivated her legend as a Evil Spirit haunting the Mongol Army as any patrol she encountered would have no survivors, only mutilated corpses whose throats were marked by her teeth. Eventually, she would come across Yurul, a Mongol Prince who wasn't even of age, and with him and his writings, perhaps destiny finally decided to smile on the Little Sparrow with broken wings.
Brief Personality Description*: Once upon a time, Shut Hell was a blood thirsty bandit who only cared for revenge. However, her travels with Yurul changed her. She no longer seeks revenge, nor do the voices of the dead urge her to violence now that their memory is immortalized in writing. Now, she holds Yurul and what he stands for almost sacred. Writing helped her overcome her darkest moment, so perhaps, it could save others? She's no bleeding heart, still fully capable of killing those not in her social circle without remorse or pity, she just no longer derives any pleasure from the act. Her extreme focus has been shifted to ensuring the language of Western Xia survives, and she would do anything to make sure it does. Despite all this however, she's still plagued by her personal demons. Namely, the cycle of revenge she had helped perpetuate. How many more Shut Hells would come after her, seeking vengeance above all else? How many of them would never have the chance to meet their own Yurul? The thought scares her. After all, she could have just as easily have been one of them.
