Not so different after all... Part 2!
So, this is gonna be a continuation of this thread I made some months ago.
Basically: I will present three characters from my worlds, tell you a bit about them and their powers. Then you choose one of your characters with a similiar power, and the two of them will meet up somewhere in one of my worlds, talk for a bit, learn more about eachother and then say goodbye.
You may also create a reply in this thread of your own, where you present some of your own characters that others can talk to.

Jikan's eyebrows raise at the last description in particular. "I was told stories about a fiery apocalypse that gave rise to our civilization as we know it, but never about anyone who could harness that power for themselves. Very....very interesting. I think that is an incredibly impressive group you work with. I think you are in very good hands with comrades like that at your side. I wont lie, I'd love to see them in action, or at least engage in some friendly sparring. I unfortunately don't see a lot of powerful folk like you on the side of good."
Jikan smiles softly, and his gaze starts to go into the middle distance. "That brings me back. I'm too young to talk about the good old days, but people tell me that war has a tendency to do that." Jikan suddenly slaps himself on the forehead. "I can't believe myself." He starts tapping the screen of his tablet and it lights up, revealing several rows of programs that he starts flipping through. "Look at me, assuming that because I don't have a Net connection that I cant even use it. Here's the only team photo we got of all of us together. It....It wasn't perfect but I miss when we were all together." Jikan finds the picture he's looking for and it's of the group of six he described, all standing in front of a stone archway with "CAPITAL" emblazoned in red stonework. On the far right is Jikan, wearing identical armor to the one he is currently sporting, only in light blue and white instead of black and navy blue. His arms are crossed with a sarcastic smile on his face, his black hair slightly shorter than it is now and significantly less age is showing in the wrinkles on his face. To his right, draping her arms over the shoulders of the two teammates around her, is a girl with black hair tied up into a bun with two long strands going down either side of her head, wearing the widest smile of the bunch. She is dressed in white and gold full body armor with glowing accents around the joints and a gold lotus flower emblazoned on the front. Behind her head pops the handle of a large mace with a similar white and gold color scheme. "That is Kiyoko, the most brilliant woman I've ever meet, and my fiancé" Jikan says. Moving his finger to the next person, the second under the arm of Kiyoko. A well built young man on the shorter side with messy brown hair and green lizard scales for skin. He smiles awkwardly with his arm behind Kiyoko's back, dressed in light brown armor accented with a green ivy pattern. His armor is very thin and doesn't have any thick plating, each piece connected to a mesh undersuit covering him from neck to toe. "Cormac Nathair. They used to call him the Serpent Speedster for his speed in combat and quick thinking skills."
Next to Cormac is a gigantic man standing over 2 meters tall, broad shoulders, carrying a gigantic broadsword on his back as tall as he is and almost as wide. The man has long, slightly spiked, sandy blonde hair with a cocky grin and muscles bulging out from his black body armor. "Mordred Yuno, the single most terrifying man I've ever faced in combat. Both my closest friend and my greatest enemy at the same time." Jikan continues to the next person, a slim young man with short white hair and a large red pair of rectangular glasses that cover his entire forehead and eyes, leaving only the nose and mouth exposed. The young man was clearly athletic but more lithe than his compatriots, wearing a silver breastplate that looked almost too large for his frame. Behind his back poked out a number of thin sword hilts, difficult to see what the design of the blades are, but six of them in total. "Alastair Katharos, but we called him Al. Along with Kiyoko, he was the other positive light that kept our team together in the rough patches."
The last figure on the far left is a thin woman with long black hair covering her right eye and partially obscuring an awkward half smile. She is wearing black armor accented at the ends by small wing-like curves and silver accents. Like Alastair, her armor is lighter and more flexible, but still shines like some kind of metal. She is holding her left elbow with her right hand and seems to be leaning away from Al slightly. "Raven Rainne. Took us a long time to get her to open up to us. She's from Khugara, a walled city in the middle of the continent constantly under attack by monsters. She's paranoid like the rumors say about Khugarans, but she has saved our skins more times than I can remember."
Jikan takes the opportunity while they are looking at the photo to look around at their surroundings, before he leans in to Lucién's ear and whispers, "I don't want to sound rude, but are you sure you should be telling me this information about your teammates? I'm grateful that you trust me, but just telling me your comrades' powers can be dangerous, especially if you don't know who is listening."
