Medaka

Medaka looked a bit dissapointed, thinking Adreinne would know much more about his abilities than her own nature.  However, it was interesting just how abstract her abilities seemed to be.  Somehow, this felt different than magic.

"I see," Medaka said, placing a finger on her chin.  She had to be sure.  "Is this a form of magic?"

Adrienne

"I'm not a very experienced magic user, but I know the feeling of magic moving through my body. I know that the power itself is not magic, but the power exists because of magic. During the 'incident' I mentioned, I felt magic changing me, but I have not felt it since that day when using any of the things I gained from it."

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka shook her head.  "No as far as I know, I was born with this strange phenomenon," she said, taking a step closer.  "So then, tell me.  How can you walk on the wall like that?"

Adrienne

"Interesting. Well, for me, I am not made entirely of physical matter. I don't know the specifics, but it has strange effects on how the laws of physics affect me. I had an incident a while ago that turned part of my body into 'thoughtform,' although that is a concept I don't quite understand just yet."

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka's eyes widened as the the boy walked up the side of the building, completely disobeying every law of physics she could think of offhand.  Even among the myriad of mages and superhuman's she had come across, this was a fairly unique skill, one that could be useful in the future at the very least to have information on.  However....

"Well I would love to oblige, but I am afraid that is not a fair deal, considering I do not know myself," she said, standing up herself.  "However, if you wish to know more about me, I am more than happy to trade information."

Adrienne

"That's fine. Was there ever a time when you did not have that ability? If something changed it might be possible to figure out why you have it," Adrienne says, speculating on possible sources for such an ability. "I'm still working on why I have the specific abilities that I do, but I at least have a cause to connect them to."

Medaka

"Adrienne huh?" she repeated, tilting her head slightly.  Despite how the words came out, she was actually able to repeat his voice right down to his specific inflection.  By this point, she had gotten dangerously close to his body.  Her hanging breasts gently grazed his knees and her own curious eyes gently glanced at him from below.  "My name is Medaka Kurokami.  Tell me, what drew you to me?"

She was surprised he didn't react to her coming closer.  Perhaps she had hung around Shinobu for too long, but it might be fun to play with him a little bit.

Adrienne

"This place is full of interesting people with interesting stories. It would be a waste to not talk to the people who catch my eye. And something tells me that you're different from normal people. Well, not really 'tells,' more like 'plasters it across a giant flashing billboard.' Since you didn't look out of the ordinary or behave strangely, and I'm nowhere near developing any kind of magical senses, I wanted to stop by and find out what was metaphorically screaming at me."

Adrienne stood up and stepped over to the side of the house next to the window Medaka just fixed, and then proceeded to walk up the side. Adrienne then laid down on the side of the building, feet pointing straight up into the sky, her face still roughly at Medaka's level, looking her in the eye upside down not too far away. "Why don't you take an actual seat over here and tell me about why anyone can see you're superhuman, and I'll tell you about why I can do this. How does that sound?" Adrienne smiles excitedly at the chance to exchange stories.

Adrienne

Distractingly Intimdating Aura and Immunity to Back Pain. Strange combination indeed, though 'strange' had lost all meaning a long time ago. Adrienne couldn't quite place Medaka's age; her appearance seemed to differ from her mannerisms. This only served to further fuel her own curiosity.

Adrienne met Medaka's proximity with a calm smirk, not breaking eye contact for a moment. "My name is Adrienne." Spoken aloud, her name sounded like a strangely cadenced version of 'Adrian.' "And your name is...?"

Medaka

It didn't take long for Medaka to finish the window.  After all, she had learned how to do these sorts of things when she was vary young.  So she sat there, looking at the window from outside, checking for anything she had missed.

Adrienne

Adrienne was out walking through the area, making her rounds through the streets, trying to familiarize herself with the area. She spotted Medaka sitting outside looking at a window and was immediately made aware of her strangely... distractingly obvious air of authority and superiority, yet there she was, just sitting on the ground outside, doing nothing remotely intimidating (yet). Also why is she just sitting there? Well, it looks like it's time to find out.

Adrienne walked over to Medaka, and cheerily asked, "So, what's going on over here?" as she simultaneously took a seat on the ground next to her, about two strides away so as not to invade her personal space.

Name: Adrienne

Race: Dream-Infused Human

Age: 19

Height: 1.76 m

Weight: 71 kg

Appearance:


(Adrienne is biologically male, identifies as female, and really doesn't go out of the way in terms of appearance to make either of those more apparent than the other)

Physical Attributes:

Strength: Human

Agility: Godly

Constitution: Exceptional

Magic: Low; including some very basic elemental control techniques, short ranged telekinesis-like spells, and minor repair cantrips

Other Abilities: Her body doesn't really follow the laws of physics to the letter. She can't fly, per se, but she could walk up the side of a building without using her super speed. This is because she is attracted to the nearest solid surface rather than obeying gravity.  She also does not generate any extra force from her speed or have any friction with fluids while moving at high speeds. She can also effectively teleport short distances (about a meter or two at most) by taking a few steps on the Dreaming Roads. She can take objects smaller than herself with her on the Dreaming Roads, and can take people that could fit through a space the size of her body. She can also open her inner gate without stepping through it, creating an imperfect sensory copy of herself on the other side as well as allowing herself to perceive the other side of the bridge. The sensory connection is static-ridden and unstable, so she can't trick people into thinking that her illusory copy is the real deal, nor is it useful when trying to spot details from the safety of another dimension, but she doesn't have to be completely cut off from the goings-on of the other side if she doesn't want to be.

The effects that the Gate of Horn has on Adrienne's body that enhances her Agility is twofold. For one, the Dreaming Roads is a plane of travel, and by being connected to it, each step she takes occurs partially in the Dreaming Roads as well as wherever her body may be. The Dreaming Roads bends distance to favor faster travel, and this accelerates Adrienne's body. Secondly, being partially thoughtform means being infused with not only Dreams themselves, but the essence of what dreaming means to you. To Adrienne, dreaming was to be free, and this compounded with the Gate of Horn magically transformed Adrienne's body into a vessel for dreams and filled her with dreams of flight and freedom, of no longer being earthbound and always having time to act.

Equipment: She keeps the dagger that was used to put the shard of the Gate of Horn in her heart as a reminder. Otherwise, she came with just the clothes on her back.

Origin: In her home realm, Adrienne discovered a passion for magic after exploring it for the first time several years ago. She found a small magical Academy and began to learn the basics of magic there. However, rather early in her education one of her fellow students attempted to murder her with an experimental enchanted dagger tipped with a shard of the Gate of Horn. The tip broke off in her heart and turned her body into a bridge between reality and the Dreaming Roads. The Dreaming Roads are the ephemeral passages constructed from mortal Dreams and inhabited by thoughtforms that connect various planes of existence both fantastical and mundane. This gave her the ability to move at a speed akin to thought itself as her body became partially thought-form, among other things. Her first time trying to walk the Dreaming Roads ended up dumping her in another dimension, and she wandered many more dimensions futilely trying to return, shortening the journey each time until in the Nexus she finally discovered the threshold of distance that she could travel in the Dreaming Roads before it tossed her into another dimension. So she stayed there, finding a new, more stable life.

Weakness: Adrienne's experience with magic is very limited, and while she is aware of the existence of more complicated spells than the basic cantrips she learned, she is unfamiliar with counteracting them.

Likes: Finding out more about magic, exploring the Nexus's extreme variety of geography and culture.

Dislikes: Being pent up inside, being inactive
