|Soul= Matvey's soul has | |Soul= Matvey's soul has been made Transcendent. During the process of becoming a Transcendent Soul he developed soul quirks based on what he had done in his life up to that point, amounting to seven quirks with three left in budding stages which were eventually altered into a triple bind with his blade Shuhadaku Zayin. As soul quirks can layer over themselves in effect, Matvey's original, root quirk has flavored all of the quirks that have come after it, giving him a means to escalate their power. The quirks of Soul Transcendents do not retard the growth of their souls and in fact they see a roughly 66% increase in rates of soul growth. The process involved in becoming a Soul Transcendent also grants an initial boost in soul size, with Matvey's soul having grown seven times in volume and ten times in density. A recent expedition to SugarSkull's Arena saw his soul grow even more, a third again as large and three times in density/coherence, making his soul around nine times voluminous and thirty times as coherent overall. In terms of appearance his soul looks like him and nothing more, although even seeing it requires a very potent soul sense and even then gazing upon it is a very odd and disquieting experience. | ||

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. |

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. Later, he ended up getting three clowns, a fireeater, a snake charmer, a sword eater, a bearded lady and a Beast-trainer pregnant, there may have also been a bear. Lev was an adorable kid. The ringmaster raped Lev for his insolence and randyness, Lev killed the ringmaster and fled. Never did get to do the trapeze artist. He decided to hide in the army, offically, he died on duty.

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.

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. Rostislav has recently had all of his bone and muscle replaced, along with his heart, by the reprogrammed portion of Amen known as the Meat Circus. He now possesses flesh golem muscle and gargoyle bone, rendering him at least eight times as strong and four times as fast as he was prior to the grafting. He also possesses a [REDACTED] heart, that gives him regeneration. [Crude Cutter]: Rostislav is a very enthusiastic knifeman, but accuracy and efficiency are less important to his personal style than pure strength and speed. This leads to him doing strictly more damage than an average knife-fighter per strike, though he isn't suited to drawn out fights and will deteriorate in performance relatively quickly. [Monstrous Muscle]: Rostislav's grafted flesh golem muscle is, when Rostislav strains enough, able to tear itself out of his skin - shredding his incredibly tough gargoyle bone on the way. This results in Rostislav losing the function of his hands and arms, and gaining the function of a pair of amazingly strong tentacle-nodes, with ropes of muscles embedded with sharp pieces of shattered bone acting almost autonomously to attack anyone near him. Thus far, Rostislav has only evidenced this ability once, and required Armin's Masterful Hands to return his arms to their normal state. [Whore Whisperer]: Growing up in brothels throughout Moscow, Rostislav has picked up an affinity for communicating with prostitutes, and treats them like members of an extended family. Evil puppy (unnamed): An extremely hateful and violent Devil Dog with a tendency to go for the throat. |

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. |

[Patient Personage] - Lv2 Zhenya is approaches conflicts and situations with patience.

[Laughable Liar] - can't convincingly lie for shit [Conceptual strength trait]ZHENYA WITHOUT THE BELT CAN MATCH IOSEF/VLAD, WHO RELY ON SIGNIFICANT FLESHCRAFTING/GREATER SIZE, DESPITE BEING SIMILARLY CHAKRATICALLY ENHANCED. WITH HER BELT, HER STRENGTH EXCEEDS THE THRESHOLD FOR MANUAL CONCEPTUAL USE, AND IS THEREFORE VARIABLE BASED ON DICE ROLLS. THAT SAID, IT HAS AN 'IDLE' STATE ROUGHLY EQUAL TO WHAT ONE MIGHT EXPECT FROM A LOW-GRADE WAR-FORM BIOARMOR, WHICH WOULD BE MORE OR LESS A DOONONGAES. THIS MEANS 'NO BELT, SHE CAN KOOLAID WALLS, AND SQUISH PEOPLE' 'WITH BELT, FINGERS THROUGH STEEL, FACE THROUGH STEEL, WHATEVER SHE FUCKING WANTS. WALLS ARE NOW OPTIONAL, BARRING MAGICAL REINFORCEMENT OR BANK-VAULT SHIT.'
