Now that it's been established that Rei will be Chosen By The Glyphs, it's about time that I break down some more about glyphs. (Not Runes, that'll come later.) Worldbuilding time!
All glyphs and their respective runes can be used by infusing them with prana, a human's life force. The concept of prana came from Shin Kamen Rider, in case you're wondering.
Of course, for the average citizen, even the largest glyph will never have more effect then a momentary exhaustion. This might be different for our heroes…
All glyphs can pop up naturally, as symbols that just appear when something is exposed to the respective element. For example, if something is exposed to sun for a long time, a Fire Glyph may appear, which can then be transferred to something else.
Humans and sapient animals are the exception to this rule, since prana naturally saturates their body, which doesn't let in enough elemental energy for a glyph to form on the body.
There are reasons why implanting a glyph with Runes/memories makes them work differently, but you'll have to talk with NPCs to find out that one.
I will say that once a Rune is inscribed into a glyph, that glyph can be mass-produced with that same memory. This is the basis of Magitech.
Fire Glyphs represent heat and flame, and are usually combined with the most offensive Runes, to be used for purposes such as Shooting, Kicking, Lighting. They are also used as light, as they naturally glow the brightest. They may appear when something is exposed to sun for long enough without moving. (2-3 months.)
Water Glyphs represent the ocean and rivers, and are the most flexible type of Glyph. They are combined with Runes that heal, such as Mending or Relieving. However, they're also associated with change, so Transforming and Reversing are also decently usable combos. Of course, most people don't have the required memories to make that third one…
Air Glyphs represent not just tornadoes and hurricanes, but also gentle breezes. Changing Runes also work with these, but these Glyphs also work well with Runes that provide positive body effects, such as Accelerating or Lightening. Still, Glyphs that provide effects to one's own body are considerably more tiring, so they're banned from all sports in the same capacity as performance drugs. They appear in places with especially clean air and clear breezes, so effort has actually been put into reversing climate change by governments who want to sell more Glyphs.
Earth Glyphs are the most set in stone, pun intended. They are usually combined with things for construction purposes, so Building or Fortifying are popular Earth Glyphs. It still requires a team of workers to make large buildings though, since both Glyphs only can normally output the equivalent of a small section of brick wall. Aside from that, Runes with positive psychological effects can also go well with these Glyphs. (Calming)
All Glyphs can be used with different Runes, to varying effect. The ones I've listed are simply the tried and true combos.
Happy voting, and questions are encouraged and will be answered.

Just a normal pair of sunglasses, polarized using a Fire Glyph and a tad bit wider. Still very cool, though!

I didn't create that vote, it was just the one I liked most. I don't care much about the appearance section either way.

Since this post is complete due to the warning no longer being there, I want to point out that the physical is supposed to be 12 and that the name should be Rei Maruki.

Yes, but I suppose Assassin sisters and the whole "recovering from trauma" narrative are also very cool.

I'm more surprised people are voting for such a bland and self-contradictory wish, tbh. After all, if their wish for a peaceful life had actually been granted, they wouldn't be fighting now.

The character concept I used back during Character Generation 0.2 was somewhat popular, even though it didn't win, so I decided to adapt it for this vote as well. Seems like it kept its popularity (that said, I suspect my plan is enjoying a lot of support mostly because of the Old Friend + Aid From A Friend combo, rather than people merely thinking I have an interesting character prepared). I'm still undecided on the wish...
