|Soul= Like all Witch Saints, Lyubov's soul doesn't feel like it is made of soul stuff, but instead something emblematic of the god she's connected to: Lightning, to represent Tesla. Her soul is still perilously overcharged, but does feel a little firmer. The central feature of her soul is a tesseract, the fourth-dimensional linkage to Tesla. There are analogues on her soul to structures in normal souls: memory, cognition, personality. There’s already a meta-pattern to her soul reminiscent of what her soul was like before: a cheery, capricious, mischief-maker who delighted in distraction. | |Soul= Like all Witch Saints, Lyubov's soul doesn't feel like it is made of soul stuff, but instead something emblematic of the god she's connected to: Lightning, to represent Tesla.

*Witch Saint of Tesla: Lyubov has a direct magic conduit to Nikola Tesla, a prolific inventor who became the god in the electric grid. Because of the nature of his transformation into a god, he has mathematically based belief magic, which makes all divine workings wrought with his magic (and by extension, Lyubov's) well outside the normal format for Belief magic. What this means, beyond it being extraordinarily easy for Lyubov to attack and dominate divine beings, remains to be seen. | *Witch Saint of Tesla: Lyubov has a direct magic conduit to Nikola Tesla, a prolific inventor who became the god in the electric grid.

Description:
Prior to being made a vampire, Bagga was a driven high school student and a gifted featherweight boxer. Bagga was turned against his will, possibly accidentally, and managed to survive long enough to be inducted into the Orphanage for vampires. He impressed Armas during the night lessons at Ito's Dojo, and was subsequently offered a job. Bagga has a grafted arm (courtesy Gianni) which he named Aedes. It's 1.5 times stronger than his normal arm, can take a huge beating without breaking if both the elbow spike and palm spike are in. The palm spike can fully drain the blood from a body in a moment. His palm can mist out blood for future blood magic, or simply to mist out blood. When the spikes are retracted Aedes looks like Bagga's natural arm. He thinks of it as akin to a very advanced prosthetic limb instead of as his arm. Currently Bagga is trying to learn how to activate his bloodline's kinetic redirection power. |

Activities: He never knew his blood parents, both died while trying to perform some bogus ritual, turns out candles are not the friend of dry wood. He ended up in a small Orphanage, run by a kindly old woman who's name Lev does not know to this day. She instilled in him a love of folklore and woodcarving. However, one day a circus came to town, Lev head filled with adventure joined it. Unfortunately the circus was more than a little, seedy. He Loved it though, even being used as target practice for the knife thrower. Once he was in, he couldn't get out, and the fun was only ever on the surface, a show.

Lyubov Ivanovna Khorobrova
The Witch Saint of Tesla run by CaptainButthead a.k.a. BUTTZ |
Appearance: 5'11", 150lbs, muscular build. Light skin, blue eyes, short brown hair. Strong family resemblance to Svetlana.
Equipment:
Activities:
Description:
Despite a year of fighting horrors and committing atrocities against innocent civilians in the name of keeping magic secret, the Black Army hasn't destroyed Lyubov's ability to face life with good cheer. It did leave her far more wary, though. Lyubov, foolish young person that she is, she didn't quite realize how much she'd taken her mother for granted until she read the news story about her own death. She has since reconciled with her mother and urged her to come live in Istanbul with her. Lyubov is known around Ito's Dojo as "Booze Foot" by the Night Lesson students, and as 'the instructor who will distract you constantly, don't look at her butt it's a trick' by the day students. In the company, Lyubov is known for being cheerful, chatty, and usually well-intentioned. She is best friends with Sake, thanks to their common prankster attitude. She encourages people to spoil him. |
Matvey Baich
The Cossack run by Grail |
Appearance: 6'1", brown hair and brown eyes. Has his hair clean cut and his face freshly shaved. He is usually well groomed and cleanly out of habit.
Equipment: It long ago lost its original magic from literal millions of uses, and so now, it's got a hole in it that is supposed to hold magic any time it's made to contact another magic weapon or intercept a magical attack, it replicates the ability into a single, consumable magical ability. It can repeat this as often as necessary. Indestructible and razor sharp or no, it's not magically able to ignore friction or able to seamlessly split steel-it needs muscle behind it to properly push it through defenses. Can temporarily bestow memories from past wielder's styles and allow the user to emulate them, amounting to a total of 12,768 collective fighting styles and their resultant hybridizations from 2,948 past users. If allowed it will alter budding soul quirks into nodes for weapon interfacing, allowing for memory-dumps and grabs and copies. Any amount of it's vast experience can be safely downloaded, although it lacks the inclination to do so. To start it simply grants the user knowledge of how to approach a foe to cut it and potential problem areas prior to engaging it. That ability replication will, at the beginning of any bout with someone, make a pale imitation-it's potent, but not as powerful as the real thing as the battle lasts and Matvey's primary quirk keeps applying it will slowly equal the real thing... and, when nearing soul-rupture levels, exceed it. 8mm thick, 13cm wide, 8 decimeters long. Handle is full two-handed sword sized-or scaled for far meatier hands, approximately 24cm of handle. Shaped like a single-edged leaf blade with a hook at the base in lieu of an actual hand guard. It strikes one as simple and decidedly unshowy. Despite potent magic it almost appears to be rusting from the sheer weight of the ages. A day spent cleaning the blade removed the rust...and the skin from Matvey's palms. Requests:
-Insists on owner spending at least two hours a day meticulously polishing and cleaning them.

Rostislav
The Clawed Bear run by Seventeen |
Appearance: 6'1", thick build. Thick black beard growing back in. Black, untrusting eyes. A number of gang and prison tattoos hidden under his clothes.
Equipment:
Activities:
Description: Mikhail was a black-hearted criminal, but despite his utter lack of care for Rostislav, decided to humour the boy. After sitting through what seemed to him an endless stream of whining, Mikhail had an epiphany – “deniable assets” being so valuable in the world of criminal enterprise, why not use the boy? Mikhail set Rostislav up with a local gang of youths, and periodically gave him instructions – break into a certain business, rob a certain traveller, intimidate a certain witness. Mikhail was ecstatic, his plan was a magnificent success, and in the six years Rostislav worked for him, he rose steadily through the gang's ranks. At the age of nineteen, Rostislav received a fateful task from his father: kidnap the son of a local businessman. The night arrived. Rosti and his gang found the young man smoking outside of a nightclub, and prepared to grab him. Rosti went first, knife up, but the man got spooked and tried to run. Seconds later, he was dying against the wall with Rostislav's knife under his ribs. Rosti stood there, shocked, while his so-called friends ran away and the commotion drew onlookers – including the man that Rosti had been there to capture. Rosti had killed the son of a politician. Arrested and charged with murder, Rostislav couldn't believe what had happened and in his confusion accidentally led the police to his father. Mikhail managed to keep his freedom with a few large, well-placed bribes. He was furious. Rostislav's fuck-up had cost him a great deal of money as well as status within his gang. He spoke to Rostislav for the last time during his trial, telling him that if he ever saw him again, he'd kill him. Rostislav was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Prison life was much like life in the gang, though more violent – to cement his place in the hierarchy, Rostislav was forced to stab seven inmates with his rusted old bayonet. Soon after his last victim was discovered, he was taken from the prison and conscripted into the Black Ops Army. |

Description: |
Svetlana Khorobrova
Lyubov's Mother run by Abeo |
Appearance: 5'11", 120lbs. Light skin, brown hair, blue eyes. Strong family resemblance to Lyubov.
Activities:
Description: Svetlana thought her only child was a layabout for not going to a conservatory to pursue her guitar playing, a fool for dropping out of university, and was utterly worried when one day Lyubov announced she was going to enlist. The past three years have been a combination of Svetlana being very religious and praying for her foolish daughter, constantly reminding Lyubov to go to church when she can, and doing her job (which was no great shakes, but paid the bills). Between medical and funerary expenses for the father-in-law and her own parents, Svetlana doesn't have much left in the way of savings, so the lawsuit and loss of her job were just the icing on the cake of supposedly losing her daughter. The fact that Lyubov was alive was a huge relief. |

The Nice Guy run by Guile |
Appearance: A short (5'9") bulldog of a man with thick brown hair, in the process of growing out a short moustache and full beard now that the squad is no longer part of any formalized military.
