Name: Juniper
Alias/Nickname: Juni
Species: Brachidae
Age: 24
Height/Weight: 5’8 180 lbs
Gender: Female (she/her)
Reason for entering: To resurrect her father
Memento: Father’s Lab Goggles
Strengths:
-Speedy Rush- For short bursts (usually no more than a minute at a time) she can run/charge forwards very quickly(15 mph) though it's best achieved when only moving in one straight direction
-sharp turns will cause her to either crash, stumble, or full on have to stop to recover and reposition her direction
-the more times in a row she charges the shorter/slower the distance and speed will get as she tires out
Abilities:-Claw Hand- Though her normal strength is average/nothing special, her claw hand is far stronger and useful for gripping/crushing as well as hitting hard blows
-Exerts a crushing force/grasp with it (generally works best against natural materials/beings and can't break harder/denser objects made of things like metal)
-Packs a hard punch with it (if it collides with something far harder than the claw though it can cause damage to it, even potentially cracking it)
-She finds the strength of it hard to restrain/control at times though as she has to concentrate when holding more delicate things so as to not break/crush it. (she refrains from giving handshakes with her claw anymore after one too many accidental hand crushings)
Weaknesses:
-Slow Reaction Time- She generally has a hard time processing information quickly that she’ll freeze up or not react in time trying to figure things out
-this can cause her not to perceive quicks motions of others/things
-makes her bad at dodging direct attacks
-clumsiness
-she’s slower at things like puzzles
-Heat Sensitive- Has a low heat tolerance and will quickly start becoming agitated and sickly until she’s able to cool down
-symptoms of this includes exhaustion, dizziness, confusion and if left exposed too long, she’ll pass out
-Hemophilia- Causes her to get frequent nosebleeds and if wounded loses blood/bruises at a much higher rate causing her to pass out or suffer greater injury with a longer time needed to heal/recover afterwards
History: After her home planet was devastated by an incurable and widespread disease, Juniper has followed in her late father’s footsteps’ to try and uncover a cure at the cost of throwing away her dreams in chasing a seemingly impossible feat. Seeing her in such a low state, her longtime friend Moonie, hears of the Endgrove and insists the two go investigate and possibly even bring her father back. Reluctant but unable to stop thinking about the premise of seeing her father once more (and being freed from her fate), she agrees and they set off.
Personality:
-After being isolated in her lab for the past few years she’s become a bit socially awkward, wanting to meet new people but having a hard time talking about herself/opening up to others
-Because of her homelife she’s also paranoid and slightly a hypochondriac, getting anxious if in the presence of those who seem/are sick out of her own personal guilt and fears
-She also lacks confidence, blaming herself heavily for not being able to find the cure and feeling that she’s let everyone down around her. This carries on with her as she still continues to beat herself up even over smaller things though she keeps these feeling internalized/bottled up
-Though lacking some self preservation she’s very protective of anyone close or allied to her and will fight for them/give it her best to protect them
-Stubborn, once she has her mind set on something or thinks about something a certain way it’s hard to change her mind also tends to get frustrated more easily
-Though it takes a bit to really see her true nature under the walls she puts up you’ll find someone very sweet and passionate underneath
Likes: Exploring, motorcycles, fishing, stargazing, and fruits
Dislikes: Cramped spaces, being asked what she does for a living, and being startled/surprised
Other: -Was in a band once as a bassist with Moonie
-Hates being a scientist both as she was forced into being one as well as feeling inadequate for the role she was given
Name: Moonie
Alias/Nickname: Lune (actual name but only referred to this by family)
Species: Moon Worym
Age: 23
Height/Weight: 5’11 120 lbs
Gender: female (she/her)
Reason for entering: Help Juniper resurrect her father
Memento: Juniper’s Father’s Lab Goggles’
Strengths:
-Perceptive- She is good at getting a read on people (like if they’re lying) as well as piecing things together faster(like puzzles)
Abilities: -Moon Boots- Her species is sensitive to gravity changes so she wears special boots that acclimate to keep her from falling over constantly though can also give her boosts in other areas as well. Without these or if they are damaged she would immediately struggle to keep her balance/keep upright.
-Weighted-
-Though not a prolific fighter, if in need to fight, her fighting style persists of using her legs to deliver kicks using her weighted moon boots (think Sanji One Piece as a reference lol)
-She can override and make them heavier to deliver harder kicks but it takes a moment to switch over, slows her down greatly, and makes her much more clumsy and struggle to recover
-Springy-
-These can also be adjusted oppositely to make her more springy/give a small jump boost (like .5x more of a normal jump so nothing crazy)
-However this makes any kicks way weaker and still makes her very clumsy as she’ll overestimate her strides more or land wrong
Weaknesses:
-Physically Weak-She’s pretty scrawny/weak and easy to knock over
-Home Sickness- Moon Worym’s are not able to adapt well to places outside their own moons and when away will start to become more and more sick, visible in the form of a pink rash/marks on Moonie that she keeps covered up at all times slowly spreading over her body(not even Juniper is aware of this)
-Causes fatigue, pain flare-ups, and low stamina
-The more she exerts herself the worse/faster it begins to overtake her
-When over exerting herself/highly injured, pink veins/marks will appear on her face
-After her arrival to Endgrove it’s slowly starting to spread/flare up, putting her body under stress only further speeds the process up
-If she is highly injured or stays away for too long there is a serious risk of death
-Breathing Problems- Moon Worym’s are also not acclimated to different planets oxygen levels instead primarily breathing mostly a kind of hydrogen so she has a hydrogen converter/mask equipped to her at all times that she frequently uses especially after exerting herself
-She’s more easily winded especially after running
-If she’s unable to use her mask when needing to breathe or the machine is broken she is very vulnerable and usually can’t move, in worst case scenarios even passing out
-The mask can temporarily relieve her of her home sickness symptoms but only very briefly until she can rest longer
History: The youngest in a royal lineage that inhabits the Moon of Juniper's planet. As the youngest she’s often overlooked by her large family, being given low tier busy work/affairs no one else wants while still having high expectations set upon her as a royal. Due to this she tends to sneak away from these responsibilities or act out, gaining a reputation for being the “black sheep” of her family. Sick of the cycle she’s stuck in and wanting to travel to new places (despite her condition) she looks for any reason to leave. After the devastation of her closest friend Juniper’s planet, she finds a way to help her after stumbling upon the Endgrove in a forum. Despite the risk it might be on her own health, she can’t stand to see Juniper sinking deeper and deeper into despair and wants nothing more than to help her. After some persuasion Juniper agrees and they set off.
Personality:
-Outwardly arrogant and smug as she tries her hardest to put on a pompous facade
-Underneath is deeply self conscious/insecure and a chronic overthinker
-Despite overthinking she tends to not have a filter and say exactly what’s on her mind to others often being very direct/sarcastic
-Even though she hates being a royal figure she does enjoy the popularity/affection that comes with it taking on more of a pop-star persona
-Her worst fear is public humiliation and ego death
-The main person who both sees past this persona/Moonie acts most modestly towards is Juniper as they’ve known each other since they were young and Moonie feels most comfortable opening up around her as her true self and would put Juniper’s wellbeing over her own
Likes: Being praised, singing, traveling, savory foods, weird magic, parkour, people who get her sense of humor, women
Dislikes: Sweets, running, getting laughed at, being overshadowed, bugs
Other:
-Was the lead singer in a band with Juniper
-When referred to her royal status she prefers the title prince or just “royal” and will cringe at being called a princess
-has repressed feelings for Juniper
-has a motorcycle
