Arcana Machina: hidden class discovered.

In a world, similar to earth, with a lush planet and advanced technologies,near cyberpunk mixed with old technologies and ideologies, a millennia ago, a very power god, worked hand in hand with an extremely advanced race, to combine technology and magic, making this world known as Lua, undergo changes, with 10 continents, each with its own nations, to change, people gained a system, the systems helped grant a class, some were combat, others engineer, and some everyday professions, like blacksmiths, armorers, even actors had classes be born into existence, well on year 2153, a particular short statured girl------ named Silver Hailstorm, whom just turned sixteen, the age of the system awakening and also the day she has to register her class with the kingdoms hunters association, something some dread for their weak or common class, others look forward to, but on this day, silver is treating it like any other. Working in the family owned mechanic and armor fitting shop, where most of the clientele is military vehicles, the money is decent,but not enough to help us climb the social pedigree and gain a spot in a tier 2 city. Silver is a cat girl standing at only four feet tall, making her no bigger than the dwarves, and no less aggressive as them, usually wearing her mechanic coveralls, and a black tank top, the upper part of the coveralls tied around her waist, and her over sized weilding gloves, and weilding goggles adorning the top of her hair, grease stains can be seen all over her, but uncaring to all this as she works on taking the damaged armor panels off the hover troop transport. A vehicle that has a very similar appearance to a humvee or Bear, on earth. Her Dad, Also a Cat person, here they are just known as nekos from here on thats how they will be addressed, burst through the office door into the bay while trying his best to yell over the drown of loud rock music, and the industrial grinder. "Sil!...Sil! you have to go awaken and register your system!". Barely hearing him over the noise, silver cuts the grinder off before walking over to her dad, giving a quick hug before dashing out while tossing over her reply. "thanks dad for the reminder im leaving now!" And like the neko she has always been, fast and too agile for her own good she sprints down to the office, her small size allowing her to zigzag and at times perform acrobatics to not bump into people, a feat larger people would struggle to repeat as she does, rushing to the office about half an hour away from the shop on foot. She laughs and cackles on glee and the sheer freedom and speed she is going through so mych foot traffic, being a tier one city with more than twenty million people in it, theres always a lot of foot traffic.Some people who have seen her in traffic before are used to her antics while others are awestruck and surprised as she flashes by, her red pixie cute hair fluttering around her and her red and white stripped hears easily seen as she does flipps and dives over people into the tiny spots in the crowd. After a near flat out run, for 15 solid minutes, making it outside the huge hunters building, where hundreds of thousands of new hunters and old are streaming in for various reasons, some are just like her here to activate the system and see what they awakened as and to register.Walking in and looking around having to hop several feet in the air a few times to survey over the crowd, in doing so drawing some attention from several group all around wondering if she is part rabbit or something, some of the people in line in front and behind her giggle and laugh and a couple dwarves smirk as they realize what she is trying to do before she finally sees that she actually randomly selected the correct line on the first try. "phew, made it, and im not dead last, hopefully i awakened something with machine..." she says,a bit of forshadowing.

19. Fear monger, New day new me

After the gruesome battle, the royal family lands first, then the rest of the civilians land, but the only thing that can be heard is the roar of upset citizens, the words 'terrorist' and 'murderer' floating in the air, a chant for Silver's head can be heard all throughout, finding its way to their savior...and villian, afterall she did kill near indiscriminately. Although it is all true, it still makes her frown, her cute ears droop just a bit as she resigns herself to enter the city, opting to meet the royal family and leave the mess to them. The camp seeing her start to leave, scramble to follow in her wake, the only one who is calm and daring to walk at her side. Long time child hood friend and freak alike, Micah. Though due to how short Silver is the growing crowd can only see him, and part ways quickly, without realizing the one they are chanting about is making their way through with ease because of this, eliciting a chuckle from micah and the few mercenaries behind them.Finally reaching the center of the city, a large courtyard with a standing podium stage,making her way on it without hesitation, when a few guards move to stop her, she doesn't even blink before taking them down knocking them out near instantly. "Avi!" Silver calls out seeing a glimpse of the general, and one of the only remaining friendly asari in town it would seem. Hearing her name, avi turns, only to have her blue skin grow extremely pale, nearly white as she sees the center of all the chaos, the one that did nearly more harm than the beast tide. "S-silver, now is not a good time...leave go, hide let us deal with them,before they notice!" She whispers,only to see its in vain as silver walks towards the stage, disregarding the royal matriarch's speech. Stepping on stage, Silver keeps her distance stepping a bit back and to the side, letting the people see her, and this riles them up further, suppressing anything the Queen has to say. Throwing a haunty look silver's direction before stepping away and indicating for her to step forward to speak. With a thankful nod silver steps forward, whilst unleashing her mana, letting it cut and whistle throughout the crowd as she speaks, her voice carrying more power and unyielding authority than even their queen wished to speak to them with. "Quiet!" Nearly instantly whether its the feel of her mana or the fact that she is commanding them with force, the crowd quiets down instantly. "Finally, I can think over your obnoxious noise...I...I am sorry for the losses accrued under my actions, both to the families, and to the crafts, it was never my intention to cause harm, I came here for the tide, and like any good soldier, when our backs were to the wall...literally I made a judgement call to do whatever I could to push the beasts back, I don't care if I die, But my friends...They must live on and so i unleashed the last remaining skill not frozen by a deepset poison, in doing so, I had every expectation to draw my last breath, afterall I was advancing my illness to it's final stage to unleash a storm, it consumed my mana, the mana of a manticore, and the mana of hundreds,thousands...even millions of beasts, an unexpected reaction from an ability than seemed relatively small...I am by no means asking for you to forgive or forget, and thus I shall take my leave here, I am not asking for heroism, or payments I may be a mercenary but i wasn't born heartless and have friends, and fighter's who came when I...when we needed them.Goodbye Asari suvivor's, may your return be more prosperous than ever before, may your crafts shine, and may your warrior's grow..." After her speech Silver turns and summons her mana back, as quickly as it left,making quite the scene, like a powerful warlock dismounting the stage or a clever magician, though the theatrics are more for her taste than anyone present. with this she rushes to the airport under complete silence, Her reason? Its not her last speech before leaving, but...this next one will determine the future of several people here.After arriving in front of an awaiting aircraft Silver jumps up on the steps, turning back to all the mercenaries trailing her, gazing at all of them silently for a few awkward moments, some of the weaker willed, or guilty conscioused ones, shuffle on their feet or cough awkwardly. "Listen up...where my path is going is filled with extraordinary wealth...but that comes with extreme danger, from this point on my name is going to be known to many places, from different races, kingdoms, hell I may even have a creator or two hunting me as well. If you wish to follow me for just wealth, or protection, or to use my name to garner power, I assure you it will be opposed at every turn. Now those who follow me loyally and earn their keep...I will personally garuntee that you will be equiped with everything you need and more, If you follow me, and i find out you are a spy...your death will be exceptionally slow...and painful, as for your recruitment into my team, I will noy discuss it here nor will I do so on our trip back, I will let my words sink in. When the time is ready there will be a new group looking to hire in the city, you'll know its mine fairly easily, as for the rest who were hoping to leech...there is no place for the weak in hell..." At this Silver turns letting her mana flare once more casting over everyone, making goosebumps rise before dissipating. "I am not one to be trifled with!"
