Don't judge us for what the world has done to us.
✖✖ Basics
The name given to me at birth is Nehl Ai Aditya but you WILL call me Ai.
I have 23 years behind me.
I am a female.
Personality: Ai is known for being emotionally unstable at times, anger, wrath, fury and rage seem to be her main triggers. Whether this is due to her furious flame element or simply a trait she developed to guard herself from crippling emotions she so loathes remains to be seen. She often shows favoritism for certain friends over others and is nearly incapable of withholding her opinion from those around her. She has little patience for anything she has deemed useless, which is virtually anything that doesn't entertain her. Despite all of this she does have a caring heart, and a noble soul, she simply has difficulty showing it.
Elements and Abilities:
Fire: though it is her primary element, and by far her most powerful, she uses in the most primal sense. Fireballs, flaming cyclones, fire walls, and solar blasts are among her favorite techniques to perform.
Fury Form: When she allows her anger level and adrenaline to peak, Ai can go berserk, forcing flames to emit from her body and eyes. This not only increases her strength, speed and healing rate, but also drastically amplifies the effect of her flames. While in Fury Form however, Ai is cut off from her Dark element and takes a massive hit to her accuracy in favor of power and speed. As is the case with most elemental consumption forms, Ai's Fury Form will last the duration of whatever fight it is activated during or until she runs out of energy, and will leave her completely drained of energy for quite some time after it deactivates.
Dark: Out of sheer necessity for companionship, Ai utilizes her power of Darkness and her sub conscience to animate the scarf she wears so that both ends take whatever form she desires. Most common are the two dragons, Aes and Sonte. Unlike most elemental summons, these creatures have their own personalities and are not representations of Ai's conscience. In battle Ai will often summon these dragons to lash at her opponent from all angles. If a situation were truly desperate, Ai may remove her scarf completely and mold it into the form of one of these massive beasts. However, due to the fact that the Darkness element relies entirely on the victim's fear and belief in the hallucination, if Ai were to face someone who was actively aware of Darkness's nature the dragons would have little to no effect unless the vicim is caught off guard.
Embershade: the name Ai gives to the weapons she forges using a combination of Dark and Fire elements. She nearly always forms daggers or swords of some variety and uses her Dark element to give them a metaphysical form and uses her Fire element to imbue the weapons with burning hot runic symbols. As is the case with her other Dark abilities, if a victim is aware of the shadows making up the blade and possesses the mental fortitude not to fear them, they lose their physical form. However this is highly unlikely to happen seeing as they appear to be regular weapons composed of some mysterious black metal. Even if their victim is unaffected by the Dark energy within them, the Fire energy will still raze their flesh.
Intimates
✖✖ BackgroundAi's earliest memory is that of the Cataclysm, of massive ornate buildings crumbling and relieving their defiance to Ultima's gravity. Of countless men, women, children, and animals clambering to find shelter from the apocalyptic blast which demolished the cities the Ultimans had spent millennia constructing. Of her parents trying to find some safe haven to escape their imminent fate. Despite their efforts, a crashing vehicle rolled over onto her mother. In a fit of despair her father attempted to move the car, but a gas leak explosion then claimed his life and left Ai in a pile of rubble. Though burnt and blind in her right eye, Ai managed to survive.
Alone in a world suddenly piecing itself back together, Ai spent the next few years avoiding the public and living as a street urchin. Forced to fight to survive, Ai learned to use a knife to protect herself by the age of seven. A year later, Ai was discovered by a member of the syndicate and brought to an orphanage. There she was fiercely taunted by the other children for her blind eye. The staff treated her kindly, as did two other orphans, an older boy named Kazen and and a younger girl named Freya. These two quickly became like siblings to Ai, Freya going so far as to take on her last name.
During Ai's seventeenth year, Freya began to exhibit strange powers, at one point causing a bully to nearly drown on water which had formed from seemingly nowhere. Once the incident was reported, members of the Syndicate took Freya away to what they called the "Haven Institution" on Omega. With the loss of Freya, Kazen began to resent everyone, including Ai. At one point, their arguments escalated to the point that Ai felt herself well up with anger and launched a wave of fire from her hand, which lit Kazen's hair and chest ablaze.
Running on pure fear, both at what she had done to her best friend and the realization of what she was capable of, Ai fled the orphanage and once again forged a life on her own. she knew she wouldn't be able to stay on Ultima, not now that she knew that she was an Esper, so she stowed away on a Syndicate transport headed for Omega.
Once on Omega, Ai attempted to find out what she could about the Haven Institution. She learned from some of the local Esperkyn that it was a well guised prison city where Espers, and Esperkyn were watched and guarded. Ai's heart told her that she needed to break Freya out of the prison. So she developed her skills for three years under the Esperkyn of Tam'hlal, or Infinite Sands. Their leader taught her to unlock the true potential of her Fire element, and how to forge elemental weapons. Once she felt her powers were sufficient, Ai approached the massive shielded walls of Haven, and realized she had no idea how to enter, so she found the nearest guard she could find and hurled a massive firebomb at him, incinerating him instantly. Ai was quickly captured, beaten and imprisoned in the lower blocks of the prison city. Her search for Freya has been fruitless thus far. She spends all of her free time in the Halls asking about her, but her confidence in her plan is fading.
