Biography ↡
Ryo was mute for the first five years of his life. He never spoke and would only sign when it was an absolute emergency. His father beat him relentlessly hoping that would "fix" him, however, it just caused Ryo to be more stubborn and resilient. On his sixth birthday, his mother bought him a puppet in the hopes it would encourage him to talk. It half worked.
Ryo possessed the puppet to make his first (imaginary) friend, Bubby. Ryo would take Bubbly everywhere and "talk" to him. His father hated it. He wanted Ryo to be stronger and confident. When Ryo was ten, he caught his father attempting to destroy Bubby and yelled out "STOP!" the first words he ever uttered. His father immediately froze, confused before he realized. His father was proud of him for the first time in his life.
After that, Ryo and his father met weekly attempting to control his powers to use them for the war. However, Ryo lacked the motivation and willingness to leave the castle. The only reason he remained was to be able to continue playing with his friends.
When Ryo was fifteen his father decided it was time for him to go to the war. Ryo has gained the power to possess multiple objects at a time which felt useful as Siscia was one of the smaller kingdoms in the war. Ryo refused to go. Ryo and his father fought, but ultimately, his mother decided that if Ryo did not want to go, he didn't have to.
That night, the king of Siscia was found dead in his room. The cause of death was ruled as a suicide but whispers in the castle believed someone from the royal family was behind the incident. After this, Ryo realized what this meant. He would soon be the King of Siscia. Upon this discovery, he put his friends away and went to the war.

Kingdom ↠ Siscia
Position ↠ Princess
Full Name ↠ Harue Fushiguro “Westbark”
Nickname ↠ Nicknames
Age ↠ 19
Birthday ↠ August 28th
Height ↠ 5’3
Weight ↠ 100 lbs
Powers ↡
↪ Soul Vampire - Harue can siphon a person’s essence with extended, skin to skin contact. This is not harmful in small amounts. Over longer periods, a person may experience fatigue, forgetfulness, apathy, and depression. Harue sometimes receives brief flashes of a person’s memory from touch. This power is not always active, but Harue has learned to be cautious as heightened emotions can trigger it. Harue must siphon essence to maintain her health, but requires only a small amount each day.
↪ Mirror, Mirror - Harue can impart an impression of her soul onto any smooth, reflective surface. Her reflection can then travel from surface to surface, usually mirrors. Her reflection can see beyond the mirror and communicate with others, but cannot leave the mirror. This power has two modes; Harue can either assign set duties to the reflection to be carried out independently (e.g. a short message and single response), or she can focus entirely on the reflection, leaving her body on autopilot.
Personality ↡Harue is a very shy girl, sometimes cripplingly so and especially around people that she does not know well. Despite this, she is a compassionate person at heart but has trouble showing that side of herself to others. She is slow to trust others but fiercely loyal once that trust has been earned. Harue is very neat and particular and often prefers to perform tasks for herself rather than to risk the result not meeting her high expectations. She has a habit of being quietly judgemental that she tries to overcome. Harue is even more critical of herself than she is of others and holds herself to exacting standards.
Political Opinion ↠ Harue bases her opinions of other countries on her brothers’ opinions. As such, she believes all kingdoms have traits both good and bad, that Alorans are weak and easily manipulated, and that she should always be cautious of Shahiti despite the alliance between their kingdoms.
Biography ↡
Harue was born third of the Siscia royal children and entered the world to very little fanfare. Her father already had two sons and so a daughter was little more than a future currency that would need nurturing until her worth could be traded on. Their father was not the nurturing sort, but Harue never truly felt alone. She had her mother and her brothers and she loved them dearly. She also loved Bubby, who entered their lives when she was two years old and was like another member of the family.
Early on their mother realized that she would become far more tired caring for Harue than for her other children. At times she was listless and lost interest in things that usually brought her joy. She eventually enlisted help in caring for her child only to realize the nursemaid suffered the same effects on days spent with Harue. Between the two of them they managed a system to care for the girl without causing themselves undue harm. And as Harue grew older, she was taught to control her siphoning powers.
The princess learned of her second ability when she was about four years old. The year before, her brother David had been sent away to a ranch and she missed him dearly. She would beg to go and see him, but it was never allowed. Sometimes when she missed David enough, she would whisper the things she wanted to tell him to her mirror at night. It reminded her a little of talking to Bubby, and she found that comforting.
It came as a surprise when one morning her reflection was somewhat off and began speaking to her, relaying a message from her brother. Confused, but thrilled to hear from David, Harue began practicing this ability nightly until she was able to hold complete conversations with her brother through her mirror.
Harue was as happy as she thought she had any right to be. Her only regret was that nothing she did could make her father love her. Whenever she was in his sight, she was criticized for something. She was too loud, and if not too loud then she was too messy, and if not too messy then she was ill-mannered, so on and so forth. Harue learned to suppress any urge to speak up or act out, but it never seemed to be enough. No matter how hard she tried to be the perfect doll, she was ignored at best and chastised or struck at worst. Still, the girl felt incredibly guilty when her father died because a small part of her was glad, even though she knew that was wrong.
When the invitations to Utopia came, Harue’s departure was delayed. She had never spent time around so many people and she was a little afraid to attend. But with Ryo and Bubby having left, Harue began to feel quite lonely. Seeing her brothers through her mirror was nice, but it just wasn’t the same thing as being with them. It had been years since she had seen David in person and she didn’t know when she would next have the chance if she let this one pass her by. It was more than reason enough for Harue to push past her fears and begin to pack.

Kingdom ↠ Siscia
Position ↠ Prince
Full Name ↠ David Westbark
Nickname ↠ Clint
Age ↠ 22
Birthday ↠ December 2nd
Height ↠ 6'6"
Weight ↠ 216 lbs
Powers ↡
Living Dead - The dead aren't dead to Clint. He is one of the few who are able to see, hear, and touch the dead. While this means the dead like to spend their time whispering in his ear about their gripes and grievances, it also means he's perfectly suited for wrangling the dead up to send them on to whatever comes after. He is able to extend his own spirit out to assist with this task, usually infusing it into rope or whips to help his soul keep shape.
Spirit Shot - David is able to focus souls into magical "bullets" to do damage. When left to his own devices, it's more of a scatter shot that doesn't neatly damage his target. He uses adapted focuses that look like pistols and rifles to focus the energy into concentrated "bullets" to do more damage than he would without them. He's able to hurt the living this way, but it is more effective with the dead.
Personality ↡
Rough and tumble, Clint has grown up outside of the norm for a prince. Years on the ranch have given him a down to earth, if not downright crass, attitude. He's the first person who will step in when he feels it's needed, but his help is usually pragmatic. Which often finds him stepping directly over boundaries or putting a boot in his mouth. It doesn't take away from his playful side. Clint isn't afraid to pull a prank or two, though his pranks can be more hurtful than he intends. Despite it all, he is loyal and loves deeply. He thinks the world of his older brother, Ryo, and isn't afraid to say so.
Political Opinion ↠ He's heard enough about all the other kingdoms from the spirits that spend their days and nights whispering in his ears. Each kingdom, including his own, has their good and bad, but the worst hands down has to be Shahiti. The things the spirits have told him that are happening there is enough to make his skin crawl.
Biography ↡
As the second born prince of Siscia, David didn't have much use in the royal family. Ryo was the eldest and would be the future king, regardless of how angry their father was about the prospect. Not that the anger was something he ever understood. Bubby was one of the first things that David remembered and remembered finding it hilarious. But he wouldn't get to spend too many years with his older brother or his imaginary friends. When he was four his powers began to manifest. At first their parents were worried when David started reacting to the spirits around him, thinking that it was more imaginary friends. Quickly, they realized that wasn't the case and that their second born was able to see, hear, and touch the dead. Knowing he would be more useful elsewhere, David was sent out to learn the trade of those with powers like his at the spirit stables.
It was an abrupt change, going from the lap of luxury that was the royal palace to what was essentially glorified ranch life. But David thrived in it. One of the first orders of business at the ranch was to do away with his 'prissy prince name' as the other men called it. As little more than a boy he was taught everything from riding horses to the literal ropes, spirit roping. Upon roping his first he was now known as Clint, named after the spirit he'd managed to catch. The days were long and grueling, but he didn't mind. In fact, he was excited by it. The feel of the rope and pouring his essence into it, all the way to lassoing a spirit was a thrill he never would have known if he'd been left stuck in the palace. As he grew older, this extended into learning how to condense soul energy into bullets and fire them out of a pistol focus at the dead who intended to harm him.
The meat of their task was riding out to the battlefields to gather up the angriest spirits left behind and pull them back to the spirit farms. The war was rife with those who passed in a horrific way that left angry, scarred souls behind. Clint's job was wrangling them and herding them to the spirit stables in Siscia, where they would be forcibly sent one by one to whatever afterlife awaited them by workers who were able to tap beyond the pearly gates. Or whatever it was that separated this plane from the next, Clint didn't exactly specialize in it and never stuck around to find out what separated the different planes.
The end of the war put an odd, stuttering halt to the spirit wrangling business. The spirits just seemed to be gone, but not in a way that those who could see beyond could make sense of. Something was wrong. Without an idea of where to start, Clint reached out to his parents. That was when he learned of Utopia Academy. With little else to go on, he volunteered to join his brother on the campus and see if he could make heads or tails of this mess.

⛧ Dandelion is a fickle mistress and he couldn't bear to be away from her while at Utopia. She is kept in the stables and Clint can often be found there.

Kingdom ↠ Siscia
Position ↠ Duchess
Full Name ↠ Altagracia Sarmiento
Nickname ↠ Grace, Gracie
Age ↠ 20
Birthday ↠ June 9th
Height ↠ 5'10"
Weight ↠ 147 lbs
Powers ↡
Aura Reading - Altagracia's primary ability allows her to sense manifestations of living souls, referred to as their aura. While this information is typically interpreted as visual information, her other senses may sometimes be triggered as well (i.e. sound). With this power, she is able to intuit things such as their emotional or physical status. However, it is not an exact science; the more she knows a person, the more accurately she'll be able to understand what their aura is telling her.
Aura Tracing - With everything we touch, a trace of our aura lingers for at least a short period. Altagracia is able to view these traces of and match them to their owner. Intent and personal possession cause these traces to linger longer and more powerfully, allowing her to identify items or places of significance to a person and sometimes even link them years after their last interaction.
Personality ↡ Altagracia is fairly even-tempered, if a bit teasing at times. With an aloof air to her, it can take her time to open up to others. She can suss out deceit easier than most people, so she doesn't take well to liars. Grace is generally crowd avoidant, as it can be difficult to process so many emotions at once, but will push through if need be. Unsurprisingly, she also has quite the curious streak. Once a mystery catches her eye, it's hard for her to turn away from it. But this has its downsides, as her obsessiveness can get her into trouble. She can also be quite hard on herself when her investigations hit a snag. That being said, one would be remiss to underestimate her.
Political Opinion ↠ Countries such as Countries such as Mars and Corthyr interest Altagracia as their reputations for violence and deceit belie their ability to defend themselves. She's always wanted to visit either the latter country, along with Thah, for their bountiful flora. The vast knowledge Phronese is purported to have is something Altagracia thinks of in fairly high regard. Gracie is distrustful of those from Chronos, as their potential to alter time itself troubles her greatly. In a similar vein, the things she's heard about countries like Funkazan and Winduria in regards to their actions during the war have left her wary of an encounter with their people. Hyouden is a frozen mystery, one she hopes to one day unravel. The same could be said of Luna, whose courts are teeming with deception.
Biography ↡
Altagracia was born to the heads of Siscia's intelligence council, prolific agents who were both well-renowned for their internal investigations to improve the country's efficiency during wartime as well as their international reconnaissance efforts. Their dedication awarded them a small duchy to expand their network, and they bore a child not long after.
From an early age, Altagracia wanted to be just like her parents. She studied diligently day in and day out, more so than her parents ever could have asked of her. While they appreciated their daughter's commitment, they had no intention of forcing her to follow in their footsteps. They wanted her to have a life of her own, and were concerned that she was being too quick to pick such a life out for herself. They tried their best to curb her more obsessive traits into something healthier, but for a pair of investigators known for their unhealthy obsessions when working on cases, this proved to be rather difficult.
And when Altagracia's powers first manifested themselves, things got far worse.
Gracie had already studied up a great deal on human behaviors. As per Siscian studies, one had to have a great deal of knowledge on the outer person before even attempting to interpret the soul within. At first, the young girl was ecstatic to have an ability that allowed her to better understand both. But as she continued to see the auras of those around her, she was not prepared for the extent that her new abilities revealed about people. Almost always were people hiding their true selves behind the masks that were their physical form. Even her parents, people dedicated to discovering the truth, had things they could no longer hide so easily from her. Altagracia eventually experienced a breakdown, overwhelmed by the massive increase of sensory information to process, and her family were unsure of how to best handle things at first. Eventually, they decided they would do what they did best: they'd perform an investigation, this time on their daughter.
During the exercise, the pair pointed out various things Altagracia herself would do that defied her notions of "abiding by absolute truth": saying she only studied for 2 hours when it was actually overnight, saying she didn't eat the last cookie in the cookie jar when she most certainly did, and a myriad of other examples with varying levels of seriousness. The purpose of this was to illustrate that no one lived an entirely, objectively honest life, not even Altagracia herself. This was simply human nature, that of constant contradiction. But this was ok. People were imperfect, yes. They were capable of deceit both large and small. However, there were times when someone's true self did not service the greater good. And sometimes...telling a lie was for the best.
With their initial experiment a success, they went on to find clairvoyants they could trust in helping their daughter continue to re-adjust to society. Slowly but surely, Altagracia would be reintegrated into the necessary proceedings. However, she was more reserved from that point onward. Just as well, her obsessive studies had halted to a complete stop. In many ways, the numbness she had learned to embrace had turned her into the perfect child. As if to prove her suspicions, her parents came to her with shocking news around this time: she was to be wed. She was to be queen.
Having never been a particular fan of Prince Ryo, Altagracia was...less than thrilled to hear the news. After all, it had been the younger of the two Fushiguro boys that had caught her eye from an early age. But she knew better than to complain. This was the highest honor she could ever get, and not one she could get out of. Her parents made that very clear to her. But perhaps she had been harsher on the elder prince than she should have in the past. She didn't know him personally, maybe things would be good with him.
Along with the news came a slew of new studies to work on. Before her first meeting with the crown prince, she was to be knowledgeable in all things a proper bride should be. More than that, though, Grace could tell that the people around her were taking her lessons slower than needed. They were stalling. But she could not discern why. It was only on the day before she would meet with her fiance that she was told of the king's demise. The poor royal family, Grace thought to herself. Casting her prior misgivings aside, she put her best foot forward when it was finally time to meet Ryo as his bride-to-be.
Unfortunately, things went worse than Grace could've imagined. Despite her best efforts, Ryo was worse than ever before. But worst of all to Altagracia was that she could not tell why. There was a harshness in his gaze that made her want to avert her eyes and an iron fortress that guarded his soul from hers when she could steel herself to look. The only thing she could get from him was that this whole thing meant nothing to him. She meant nothing to him. And she would be with him for the rest of her life.
Altagracia would begin to act out again, spurned by her prince's disdain for her but unable to do anything substantial about it. After all, what use did she have other than to be wed? And who greater could she be wed to in all of Siscia? But whenever she would complain, any conversation would be swiftly brought back to how she should be grateful for this opportunity. How every other girl in Siscia wished they could be her. That she should feel ashamed for even thinking about speaking ill of her circumstances. But all that did was make her feel more bitter. And so, if no one could help her get out of this, she would have to help herself.
Without much in the way of resources, she turned to the thing that put the Sarmiento name on the map in the first place: detective work. Between lessons with her tutors, she dove back into her research into investigative work with a greater sense of urgency than ever before. As foolish of an idea as it was, the thought that she might make herself more valuable as an intelligence agent than as a queen kept her grounded. Her parents had caught onto her extracurricular activities quickly, leading to a confrontation that ended with Grace leaving them in tears. Stating that they'd underestimated just how badly their child was hurting, they decided to assist her. While it was clear to Altagracia that they were merely choosing to entertain her plan rather than having any care for it, she would take what she could get.
Altagracia would begin to shadow her parents on occasion. It was mostly for low-risk operations, but some experience was better than none at all. Studying the methodology of her parents and their agents, she quickly began to pick up on various techniques and practices. Not to their level, of course, but enough that she felt confident that she might be able to solve a case of her own soon enough. Which was good, because time was running out.
Thankfully, a major opportunity would come to her doorstep. A gathering of all the young royals and nobility seemed like the perfect opportunity to show her worth as an investigator on an international stage. And so it was that Altagracia made her way to Utopia, her last chance at freedom.
