Botas and Rotas

"Should we kill them with the knives or the gun?"
"Who cares?! As long as the master's bidding is done!"

Appearance: Both men are in their early 20s, however they are both rather short for their age clocking in at around at a meager four foot ten. Due to them being twins, they look nearly identical with short black hair. And to make matters worse they decide to wear near identical clothing. Both are clad in black trench coats (that are a tad too big with the sleeves rolling over their hands if they aren't paying attention) The only real way to tell them apart is by a small scarf they both wear around their necks. Botas's being orange, while Rotas's is blue. The only other noticeable difference is that Rotas has two horizontal blue lines painted under his eyes, probably to tell them apart just in case they lost the scarves.

Personality: Both twins are not exactly there in the head. As bounty hunters, they show no remorse for their victims and both have some pleasure in killing them. But both act rather childish at times either having small pathetic "fights" over the smallest thing or trying to gain praise from whoever hired them after a job. Speaking of that, they both have this weird thing going on where they become incredibly devoted to whoever hired them and continue to hang around to help out with whatever until they are dismissed, or the person who hired them dies for whatever reason. And if they are dismissed, they generally feel betrayed, but they still feel duty to whoever hired them and they leave just the same. They also have a tendency to talk in pairs with one twin beginning a sentence and the other finishing it. In doing so they end up rhyming as often as they can.
Despite these odd traits however, they somehow manage to actually get the jobs that they are paid to do.

Backstory: Not a whole lot is known about their past. They seemed to mysteriously show up at the bounty hunter business one day with no explanation. All people know is that one twin is never seen without the other. This fact, combined with their odd tendencies has led to some rumors that there is something more going on than it seems, but there is currently no factual evidence to back up these rumors.

Weapons/Abilities-

Pockets O Stuff- The coats that the twins wear are filled to the brim with weapons and utilities. Whether it's small handguns (that match the respective twin color), knives, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, grenades, tasers, or sticks, the twins are packed to the brim with a load of weapons. In general though, outside of the handguns which both twins use as a primary weapon, Botas focuses more on the more offensive gear such as bombs and knives, while Rotas handles the less deadly items such as the tasers and smoke bombs. However, that's just a preference and both will use anything they have if the situation calls for it. Somehow, everything is not only able to stay in the pockets until removed by either twin, but it doesn't take extra effort to carry everything around.

Twin Connection- It seems incredibly likely that the twins share a telepathic connection with each other. While this usually doesn't make a difference because they are very keen of talking and rhyming, in the midst of battle it is possible for them to communicate their next action in their minds. However, that is the extent of this ability.

I don't know what to name this- Both twins are generally acrobatic, being able to do back-flips for whatever reason, or being able to catch themselves after a big fall. Both are able to sprint at reasonably fast speeds, nothing spectacular but enough that it's worth a mention. So that's neat I guess.

Relay Magic- If all the weapons fail, the twins know a little bit of magic. However, due to the nature of the spells, one must grant the spell's power to the other. And sadly, this takes a little bit of charging time, and one punch to the face will break the focus necessary.

Comet Storm- Botas's spell of choice. After given the power from Rotas, he is able to summon a group of comets to fly down on his enemies. They're pretty big so it hurts getting hit by a space rock. The spell only lasts for around 15 seconds.

Chill Blast- Rotas's spell of choice. After given the power from Botas, he is able to conjure up a large icy wind that not only slows down the enemy because it's freaking cold, but sends chunks of ice flying in their direction. The spell only lasts for around 15 seconds.

Scarves- They don't really do anything outside of make it so they don't get really cold. I don't know why I'm mentioning this.

Other: I have no idea where this idea came from.

Name: Mirabel Antartus
Appearance: A young lady who is surprisingly rather adorable for someone in about her early 20's. She has icy cyan eyes, as well as shoulder-length icy cyan hair with several silver lines on it. She also has a pair of large purple-framed glasses.
Mirabel's main outfit is a robe which is a very dark purple(almost black) with red wavy patterns, and an off-centre insignia of a dark green dragon head. She also has a dark green high collar with a design resembling dragon wings, as well as shoulder parts modelled after dragon feet. Two long dark green ribbons with zig-zag cuts are attached to the back of the waist area of the robe. She also has a pair of dark green wizard shoes with smooth, rigid material covering the toe areas. Her outfit is completed with a pointed hat which matches her robe, and said hat has a dark green motif resembling a dragon head mounted on to the front of the hat, just over the brim.
Mirabel also has a rather large purple staff. The bottom end is tipped with a spear head while the top has a dull red orb capped with a motif shaped like a dragon head. The orb lights up whenever she casts a spell, giving the illusion that the dragon has glowing eyes.

Personality: She is a sophisticated, kind, respectful, level-headed and smart person, mainly being an expert in magic. She has a strong conscience, knowing even wrongs that some are oblivious to. She is also a determinator, doing what is necessary to achieve her goal. Despite being a black mage, Mirabel tries to avoid combat, only fighting she feels she really needs to. Even then, she never intends to kill.
However, when it comes to making friends or applying for a job, Mirabel is a complete shrinking violet. She also has too much modesty, reacting to simple compliments by acting nervously, and sometimes her face even turns red.
As for her speaking, Mirabel speaks in a sophisticated manner, with a splash of Middle English accent. As part of her strong conscience, she never uses foul language.

Backstory: Centuries ago, the Antartus family lived safely in a village protected by a kingdom, until a hostile force attacked. In an act of self defence, one of the Antartus children, Fendrel, ran off to safety. However, without his knowledge, a few days after that, the hostile forces were defeated by the defending kingdom, forcing them to retreat. While Fendrel was still AWOL, the rest of the Antartus family lived in peace for generations.
Back in the present day, the current heir of the Antartus family is a young woman named Mirabel. As for her past, she lived a happy life in a far away place. Being an Antartus mage, she was also gifted at magic. Therefore, she was taught how to use her gift by her parents, who were apparently retired heroes.
At the age of 10, Mirabel got good at basic magic. However, she tragically lost her parents. Fortunately, she was soon taken in by their personal friend, another retired professional who goes by "Hunter". The man raised her as if she was his own daughter, and even helped her hone her skills.
When Mirabel was 18, she moved out to find a better place to stay. She also retained her identity as an Antartus mage, but despite being the last known living member, she literally feels that there's another one out there. One day, Mirabel moved into town, and discovered an abandoned undeground facility outside of town. She then made it into her home, magic lab and library.
Right now, she is aiming to be a master mage and magic teacher.

Weapon/Other Abilities: Mirabel doesn't like violence, but if she has to fight, she can put one up alright...
Dragon Spear:[/i] The spearhead on the bottom end of her staff can be used as an improvised weapon, when really needed. Usually, she uses this in close-combat.
Cryoparalysis: "Hunter"'s special skill. It channels ice magic through the spear, and injects it into the enemy, sending a chill down its nerves. This temporarily disables their movements, but it is never lethal and only lasts for a bit.
Elemental Magic: Mirabel is good at casting various elemental spells, covering most basic magical elements. However, it takes time to cast. The element of the spells are also indicated by a colour-coded dragon head made of energy which appears in front of her as she casts. Mirabel prefers ice spells more than the others.
Mage's Dragon: Being taught by a high-rank dragon mage, Mirabel can conjure a mini-dragon which fights for her and keeps coming back until ordered otherwise. When not in combat, it can be seen with her like some kind of little pet. Mirabel's Mage Dragon is ice-elemental.
Magic Recharge: The orb hidden in the staff also works as a spare magic energy storage. When a spell is not being cast for long enough, the staff and its user recover magic energy, but the staff recovers faster.
Family Detector: While not useful in combat, Mirabel has the ability to sense other Antartus mages. It does not tell who or where, just the fact that they are alive. Although Mirabel's parents are gone, this sense of hers is still active, and she hopes to find this lost relative one day. The origins of this ability is unknown, and very few mages are known to have the same ability, only with their respective families. This power is indicated by a feeling that is indescribable by science.

Other: -Once in a while, Mirabel would visit this "Hunter" guy to share stories with him. As for the retired expert, he is now as a tutor-for-hire to young mages. They have a close bond and in fact, the people of the town where "Hunter" lives know about their parent-child relationship well.
-Mirabel is a bookworm. She buys various books(especially ones about the study of magic, of course) and stores them in her bookshelves at home to read later. During her off-time, she sometimes goes to the town library to read.
-Yearly, she would visit her parents' resting place to show them her respect.
-Little did Mirabel, or anyone in fact, know, her long-lost relative is actually a child who can be spotted in the city located nearby her hideout. Just proves how limited her sixth sense is huh...?

Name: Lungei Nesenthry
"I'm gonna delete the shit out of you, get back here!"

Appearance: A man in his thirties who wears a dumb looking blue helmet with curly spikes attatched to the sides and a red crystal on the front.  Also has a scouter covering his right eye.  His apparel consists of a black, neon blue-striped lab coat over a white shirt.  The lab coat has a bag affixed to the back, used to hold Lungei's various creations.  Wears dark blue dress pants and boots.

Personality: Bubbly and curious.  Lungei is amused by pretty much everything, and sees just about every scenario as a game.  Loves to invent dumb new weapons, but the crap he churns out can make some serious impacts.  He'll take lots of things personally, but he's quick to forget.  Absent-minded and optimistic, Lungei definitely isn't a fantastic conversation host.

Backstory: Lungei had a surprisingly smooth job as an inventor, given he lived in a land filled to the brim with obstacle courses and giant blenders.  After said land recieved some rough administration issues following the events of the Great Ticket Revolution, Lungei decided it was time to pack his bags and head elsewhere.  After some extensive searching, he decided on a place called Pryona City.  Almost immediately after arriving, he was contacted by the P.C.S.F., offering a job as a weapons manufacturer.  Lungei jumped at the opportunity, and crafted up a pair of hoverboots to impress the guys at the department.  Unfortunately, on the way to the showing, he was intercepted by Trace Erlaca, and the hoverboots were stolen.  Not one to give up so easily, Lungei created three modules dedicated to increasing the utility of their wielders.  On their first field applications, however, all three were stolen.  Lungei wasn't exactly ecstatic, and the following chaos involving Gaton's takeover forced him to flee.  Thankfully, he was able to catch the last train to the Qniversity.  Unfortunately, Dranat Earstey intercepted him pretty early and recruited him as his right hand man.  This lasted for a short while, ending with a dramatic raid on the Qniversity by the SSF that involved the death of Dranat and the disappearance of Lungei to parts unknown.

Weapons/Other Abilities:

Deletion Gun: Lungei carries a black gun with glowing blue streaks.  A powerful utility, this admittedly silly looking gun has the ability to remove an entity from existence for around two minutes.  The gun can punch through all shields and will even delete objects directly related to what he actually aimed at.  For example, if he shot a person driving a car, the car would disappear as well.  The biggest drawback of this gun is its inability to fire while something is in deletion.

Exponential Rocket Launcher: Lungei's main weapon, this launcher shoots a rocket that split into three rockets, that split into nine rockets, and so on.  These rockets have an infinite capacity for splitting, and their blast radius does not change.  This can make the ERL a horrifyingly effective destruction tool.  The main drawback is the split in power when the rockets split.  After a while, it could barely tickle.  Of course, by that point the target would be standing in a massive crater, but the point is made.

Blast Fossil: Some odd rock Lungei carries around.  It provides him with added blast resistance, but he doesn't know that.  He usually just pulls it out in the middle of a fight and tries to use it, typically failing.

Gravity Gun: A strange looking gun with a flower-type opening at the front, this gun has a silly application.  Anything hit by the gun will be suspended helplessly in the air for around fifteen seconds.  The gun has two settings, whole or component.  When set to whole, it will lift a whole mass into the air.  When set to component, it will rip off the part of the object it hit and lift that instead.  He loves to use component to tear apart machines.  In all cases, the gun will lift people as a whole, regardless of its setting.

Grappling Hook: It's a grappling hook.  It grapples on to things.

Inventor: Lungei can and will create new weapons for himself or others.  He also likes to create random machines, such as a birthday cake that screams "Happy Birthday!".

Other: Lungei, for some odd reason, loves building blocks.  He'll use his off time to create miniature models of people and buildings.  His current project is a model of the entire Qniversity.

Name of Location: Lucky Nothing Casino

Story: Back in the olden days of when Cutopia was being first created, there was a man named Mino Lottes (Pronunciation: Mee-No Lawtz) decided that there needed to be an easier way to gain money, and he soon started the Lucky Nothing business by playing games of Poker with people. The people would bet their valuables and money, rather than just chips. However, Mino cheated through each game of poker, and beat almost all of Cutopia. Due to people being ignorant, they tried to play him again, and the more he won, the more competitive the others got. They were determined to beat him. Sadly, they never did. Although Mino was getting money poured on him like a typhoon of green rain, he still decided he didn't have enough, and he built the Lucky Nothing Casino. However, it hadn't seemed like much, since it was only a row of five slot machines, and the same game of poker in the corner. 20 years passed, and Mino became terminally ill. He decided that he still didn't have enough funds, and he used his greed to get a lot of money. He later on used most of his money to prolong his life using robotics and technology. Soon afterwards, he was also gaining more money through fund raisers as well to help him pay for his Robo-Surgery. Except he used the fund raiser money to renovate the Lucky Nothing Casino. Currently, in 20XX, The LNC had been the most exquisite and expensive casino in the land. However, Mino still uses a small portion of his grand fortune to help lengthen his greedy life. However, he is literally no more than just a Skeleton covered in a greenish- gray decayed coating of what was once skin, with the left side of his face and his entire jaw replaced by stainless steel prosthetics (is that the word?).

Appearance: The LNC is 13 stories tall, and about a city block wide. Inside, there are rows  and rows of tables of card games, slots machines, and much much more. Basically, every gamblers dream come true is behind those doors. Thing is  one rarely gains money from being in the LNC.

Other: Dictator BirdBot actually loves this place. Eventually, during the siege of Airstuff, Dictator tried to capture Mino and take the LNC for himself.

Name: Spiritia
Appearance: Actually a ghost, she appears as a young woman with impossibly pale skin. In contrast, she also has very long black hair.
She mainly wears a robe which looks damaged at the bottom, giving the appearence of a wispy aura. The robe is usually part black and part white, but which side is greater is mostly based on action. If she acts out of good and kindness, her robe turns white, and if she acts out of evil and hostility(including being harsh to the innocent over a small mistake), her robe turns black. Her morals also count for this colour change. However, if she is influenced by spactime anomalies of any kind, her robe turns grey entirely.
Spiritia also has 2 large rings, one floating over her head and one positioned like a sash. Normally, they would sequentially flash black and white, but if either side of Spiritia takes over, the ring floating above her head corresponds to her robe colour while the 'sash' contrasts. If her robe is grey, both rings would turn grey as well.

Personality: Mainly she is a neutral. However, she can be influenced by either good or bad based on what happens around her. However, despite either side being able to take over, it is never permanent. Eventually, Spiritia will return to her neutral self. Fortunately, the good side is harder to diminish than the evil side.
While it is impossible to keep her personality permanent, one can maintain it by keeping her on her path regularly. Despite being a neutral, Spiritia has good memory and is not emotionless. Turning neutral will not make her forget her actions, and she still inherits emotions and morals. Though her heart is never permanent, one thing that will never change in her is true friendship.
In short, she is not truly a netural to be exact. She is just a few inches in the good side.

Backstory: Spiritia's life before being a ghost remains a mystery... All that is known is that she was a young lady visiting the Guardia Cemetery.
However, there was a high-class necromancer in disguise looking for minions, and the young lady made the perfect choice. The necromancer casted a spell on her which paralysed her as she was doomed to turn to anothing being. However, the grave keeper found the necromancer and interrupted his spell. The necromancer's fate was unknown, but as for the young lady...
The spell was incomplete, and therefore, this left her in a controllable state, and she was also turned to a ghost by the incomplete spell, leaving the body as an empty lifeless shell. The grave keeper dubbed her "Spiritia" because of what she had become(not that it's a bad thing whatsoever). She tries to endure the rest of her life, which was extended greatly by the spell, as her new self.
However, her actions created rumors among the civilians; they depict her as either a phantom in black who attacks the innocent or a guardian ghost in white helping them.

Abilities: Spiritia's abilities are to control the 2 rings. The rings also have special abilities based on her current personality. Some abilities include:
Levitation: While completely irrelevant to her rings, Spiritia is naturally able to hover a short distance in the air, being a ghost and all.
Ring Shot: Not much to be said except she can throw either one of her rings. She can use this regardless her current personality.
Healing Ring: Only exclusive to her good side, she can use the ring above her head as a healing pod. She can manipulate the ring like a remote control, and the ring heals whoever stands above or below it. When she is very far into the good side, the healing is so powerful, it can eliminate most negative ailments(including fatal diseases and lethal poison).
Board Ring: Exclusive to her good side as well, she can use her 'sash' ring as a rideable platform. When this is used, the ring extends to a board. However, she prefers to not ride it. She usually uses this to create a makeshift stretcher whenever necessary.
Weakness Ring: Exclusive to the evil side, the ring above her head can be manipulated and serves a weakening pod. If the opponent is near the ring, they will weaken a bit, but it is only temporary. The amount of evil in Spiritia affects the power of this ability.
Trap Ring: Also exclusive to the evil side, her 'sash' ring can be used as a portable cage. The ring can change size to fit the victim inside. When the trap activates, it turns to a sphere shape made of rings. If Spiritia was evil enough, she could also constrict and crush the victim by shrinking the cage.
Time Freezer: When hit by temporal anomalies, Spiritia can use the ring above her head as a time-freezing pod. Whatever is caught inside will be frozen in time. They don't feel a thing and as soon as they return to motion, they'd feel like as if changes happened in an instant. However, to prevent spacetime damage or sync problems, this ability has limits.
Space Portal: Under effects of spatial anomalies, she can use her 'sash' ring as a portable portal. Inside the portal is an empty space filled with normal air. If the portal is closed, whatever is inside will be trapped until the portal is opened again, and the ring portal is the only exit. Despite this, an individual with elite-level spatial manipulation as well as knowledge of this ability's existence can open an alternate exit.

Other: -With no possible way to recover her former self, her original body was buried in the Guardia Cemetery. Nobody knows who or where, except for the grave keeper back then.
-Despite being a ghost, Spiritia retains the five human senses, except that the senses cannot be handicapped. This means she can still eat, but she doesn't have to anymore.
-Of course, she does not age, because as a ghost, she can retain her appearence forever.

Name: Edward Guardia
Appearance: A young man who is 17 years of age. Normally, his appearence is hidden under a pure white cloak and hood, which perpetually casts a shadow over his face. From time to time, his true appearence under the cloak is revealed.
Under the hood and cloak, it reveals that Guardia has a slender and very attractive build as well as pale skin. He also has naturally magenta hair which is messy and slightly feminine-looking. As for his face, he has bright blue eyes as well as fangs which can be seen.
Guardia's regular attire is a grey sleeveless top and black pants. His right arm is clad in a pure white gauntlet. However, during formal events, he wears a black tuxedo with a white bowtie, which of course does not include his iconic cloak and hood. Lastly, Guardia is almost never seen without his favourite silver shovel.

Personality: Guardia is a friendly person. He loves the innocent, respects the heroic and is disappointed with the wrong-doers. He does his job as a grave keeper with full potential and tries to make sure the deceased rest in peace.
However, he has a tendency to overwork every time. He guards the Cemetery most of the time, rarely taking breaks. Because of this, he could fall asleep on the job at least once a week from fatigue.
Guardia also has a strong hatred for necromancers, because of their powers to mess with the deceased.

Backstory: Edward Guardia's past is mostly unknown. All that is known is that he is in charge of the Guardia Cemetery, guarding the place. He says it's a family thing and he does his job with full effort.

Other: -Due to his appearence, some think that he is possibly a ghost or a vampire. However, the reality is on the contrary; he is fully human, although the pale skin and visible fangs make it less obvious.
-Apparently, Guardia dislikes losing his hood and cloak unwillingly. He can take it off voluntarily, but when it is removed by force, it can set him running into the shadows to put it back on.
-Recently, he made friends with a ghost named Spiritia. He also serves as a conscience to her, making sure she maintains her good. They are so close, that if Spiritia goes hostile, she would never attack Guardia, and he is a primary key to her recovery.
-Oddly for his age, Guardia's favourite drink is coffee. He usually has it at least twice a week. Despite what many say, it isn't to stay awake, it's just that he enjoys it. Guardia could also be sharing coffee with Spiritia if they feel like it. How a ghost could eat or drink is anyone's guess.
-He very much prefers to be referred to by his last name. He even introduces himself by last name.
-It is unknown why he dons the cloak and hood to begin with. Possible reasons are that it's a grave keeper thing, to keep away from unwanted attention or just that it's his favourite outfit.

Location: The Guardia Cemetery
Geography: A wide graveyard in some land outside of towns. It is conveniently placed so that it is not too far or close to the nearest town. Its location is also roughly 10 miles away from Carbotanium Forest.
The cemetery itself has countless tombstones to signify it as the resting place of many. Despite being vulnerable to supernatural activities, the Guardia Cemetery is anything but ominous. It has green grass and leafy trees, and the sky is blue on a fine day.
The cemetery is also bordered by a stone wall, and there is only one gate. The gate is specially designed so that only the grave keeper can open or close it.

History: A graveyard opened a long time ago for people to pay respect to the deceased, particularly their loved ones. The grave keepers guarded this place with their lives.
However, being a resting place for many deceased individuals, the Guardia Cemetery was filled with supernatural energy, and sometimes ghosts would appear. Fortunately, most of them are not hostile.
A few generations ago, the entrance was redesigned with a special lock so secret, only the grave keepers know about it. This was to ensure that potential invaders would not enter too easily.
Currently, the grave keeper is Edward Guardia, who is indeed worthy to be the heir to such role.

Other: -Surrounding the perimeter and top of the cemetery is an invisible magic barrier(basically a force field) which allows full sunlight to enter. This is to make sure nobody comes in by climbing the walls, all while retaining the beautiful scenery.
-Spiritia usually roams around this area. Civilians who have heard about rumors of either a ghost in white or black will take warning when visiting.
-While her former hometown is far away, Mirabel's parents rest in the Guardia Cemetery.
-Out there, there is a dangerous villain who uses supernatural energy as power. He never heard of the Cemetery nor did he go anywhere near, but if he went in there, it will be disastorous.

Name: 8BDM Coliseum
Appearance: Think like something like this, except 2506 stories higher, and over 3350 city blocks wider. And except for a foot ball field, their are large roofless rooms about the size of 4-5 city blocks, the players inside the rooms cannot see outside world beyond the walls, but the spectators outside can see inside. Sometimes, when there is a large tourney going on, there will be one large room hosting he game.
Backstory: Back in the olden days of Cutopia, there was a stone coliseum (not ceridrans) that had fights and matches hosted by the The Almighty Admin. Later on, when technological advancements took place, some people questioned the ethics of the coliseums battles. These questions roamed around CutStuff and soon created a major uproar within the Civilian population. Which ended with the creation of this stadium, which replaced the last one. This new stadium would've allowed people to 'kill' eachother while dressed in pixel robo- suits.
Other: Check out Colonel Servbot: Season One to learn more about the Coliseum, and how the game of 8BDM is played.
If you all want, you can use this stadium in your stories and such. Mainly because wynaut.

FunFacts: It was obviously based off of the game "MegaMan 8Bit DeathMatch", created by CutMan Mike and Team MM8BDM.
