So, everybody, I finally got around to making that character sheet in the style of After the End I promised @Aranfan. I had a lot of fun with it, too; writing up Cynthia in my quest's style proved to be an interesting mental exercise. Up to Aranfan whether or not they care to post it, but I was wondering; anybody want me to write up a sheet for their characters? I'll probably do one for Mato at some point.

Don't feel obligated but I'd be interested to see your take on Bassoon.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Cynthia Balor​

At the age of eighteen (twenty, counting Room of Time and Space Shenanigans), Cynthia has achieved much. Time Patroller, Full-Power Super Saiyan, Golden Oozaru -- the young hybrid has impressive things in her past. Despite this, she finds herself having trouble focusing on the good.
Titles
Time Patroller: Cynthia holds the immense honor of having been inducted into the Supreme Kai of Time's personal elite strike force, responsible for hunting down and eliminating sources of distress to the timelines of the multiverse. This position grants her the immense privilege of free and unlimited access to Toki Toki City and the Time Nest that the City is based around, as well as considerably more multiversal leeway and freedom than most. She also gains the benefits of the collected knowledge and techniques of every sentient race and culture in the entire multiverse, should she choose to exploit them.

House Balor: Before anything else, Cynthia is a Balor. Her House is small and often outcast in its Clan, but House Balor is nonetheless a proud part of Exile society, and a frequent agitator for the fall of the Masquerade.
Willpower
Despite her impressive achievements, Cynthia is plagued by insecurities and self-doubt. Such points of stress would be troublesome in a normal person -- in a Time Patroller, they are very nearly deadly.

-10 (+10 base, -20 from "Traumatized")
Power Level
Cynthia is a Full-Power Super Saiyan with all that implies, and a Golden Oozaru besides. On the galactic scale she possesses the strength to outright dictate terms, and can play comfortably in the intergalactic leagues.

Base: 375 million.

SSJ Boost: 750 million.

Transformed SSJ Total: 1.125 billion.

Oozaru Base: 750 million (0.5x effective speed, 1.5x effective strength/durability).

Golden Oozaru: 1.5 billion (0.5x effective speed, 1.5x effective strength/durability).

Masqued Power Level: ? (See Skills)
Defeats
Orphaning: Cynthia's first introduction to the wider multiverse was the destruction of the Parallel Quest from which she hailed. Everybody she grew up with is more than dead -- they have now never existed in the first place. Her personal traumas stem primarily from this.

First Transformation: Cynthia's grief-fueled ascension to Super Saiyan in response to her orphaning is a point of shame for her given the rampage she tried to go on immediately afterwards. It has not helped her perspective.

Broken Bonds: The mission to the Majin Village had its own impact on Cynthia. Her actions in the village, and the argument over the Time Queen and Chronoa afterwards, have strained some of Cynthia's team's relations with her, particularly with Bonny and Mato.
Victories
Brawl on Planet Plant: Even when he was at his most antagonistic towards her, even Mato agreed that Cynthia's performance during the mission to Planet Plant was impressive. She successfully held while outnumbered and subsequently fought an equal opponent on level ground. She has earned her credentials as a warrior.
Reputations
Time Patroller: To those very few who know of the Time Patrol, Cynthia is a figure of respect and awe, carrying with her the weight of the Supreme Kai of Time's words. To those fewer who know only of the Time Queen, she is an existential threat worthy of outright panic.
Traits
Historian: By preference, Cynthia is not a fighter. She was actually of rather average strength in her home on Garenhuld, preferring instead to focus on the study of times past. While she has adapted admirably to a warrior lifestyle, Cynthia is most at home poring through old books telling tales eons old. Her position as a Time Patroller has left her in the unique position of being able to meet some of those she has studied. She is ecstatic. Effects: Moderate bonus to all History checks.

Idealist: Cynthia believes. She has read the histories of Son Goku and Gohan. She has met some of her ancestors in person. She has faced danger on the battlefield, and emerged victorious. She has held in her chest the proof that good can triumph over evil. She believes that people can do good, and that she should. Many words, but when you boil them down...she believes. Effects: Moderate bonus to all actions taken in service to what Cynthia believes to be the cause of good. Experiences constant and moderate vote weighting in favor of such courses of action.

Traumatized: Between one thing and another, Cynthia is in a very fragile place right now. Severe arguments have her contemplating suicide, and she is prone to breaking down in the face of stressors. This is a wholly detrimental trait, and extremely worrying for her mental health in the long term. Effects: -20 on all Willpower checks. Willpower checks relating to her exact traumas will force a panic attack or immediate and heavy-handed attempts at corrective action (player's choice :evil:) upon failure.
Abilities
Oozaru, Mastered: In pursuit of more power, Cynthia learned how to control herself on the night of the full moon.

Super Saiyan, Full-Power: In a similar vein, she has fully mastered the Super Saiyan transformation, and is now making efforts to break through to the second level. To be blunt, though, Trunks's description of the emotional agony required scares her a little bit.

Golden Oozaru: Mastered Oozaru+Super Saiyan=Gold Monkey. The only block there was mental, so Cynthia of course has this, as she's capable of both.
Skills

Non-Combat
Communication [Unpromising]: Cynthia is somewhat shy and very awkward. Despite her convictions, she has historically had little success in talking people around to her point of view. This has not helped her self-image.

History [Talented]: Cynthia's area of study, she is well above the curve here. She reliably knows just about everything readily accessible to her on topics of personal interest, and can usually be trusted to have a general overview of any given topic, provided it's not too esoteric.

Deceit [Poor]: Cynthia is an abysmal liar.

Masque Affinity [Competent?]: Some Balors never use their Masques as a form of protest against the Masquerade. Cynthia has gone the other way, and regularly spent time in her Masque. That said, her time in Toki Toki has seen her never use her Masque for a time period over two years in length, subjectively. It's entirely possible she's lost a bit of familiarity.
Combat
Overall Skill: Talented.
Hand-to-Hand
Overall Skill: Competent.

Dueling [Unlearned]: Cynthia is a practiced fighter, but her style just doesn't lend itself to one-on-one fighting. Her performance is perfectly unobjectionable in this, but also unexceptional.

Crowd Fighting [Competent]: On the other hand, she has shown a remarkable gift for fending off multiple opponents, despite it being similarly de-emphasized by the Krillin Style.

Team Fighting [Talented]: Her true gift is here, though; Cynthia absolutely shines when made to work in teams, especially after personal instruction from Krillin himself.
Ki Manipulation
Overall Skill: Talented. Cynthia often opts to keep enemies at range in order to maximize her style's advantages.
Kamehameha [Talented]: A typical technique to all Turtle styles, this attack is versatile and powerful. Cynthia has practiced it accordingly.

Kienzan [Talented, verging on Exceptional]: The signature technique of the form, the Kienzan is a devastating attack allowing the user to slay people with far higher power levels. Cynthia uses this frequently and well.

Solar Flare [Talented]: She also makes use of this blinding technique, allowing her to control the range of engagement.

Instant Transmission [Competent]: Cynthia uses this as a quick-travel method and a rare means of opening the range in a fight, but has not come close to mastering it.

Ki Talents
Overall Skill: Competent. Cynthia knows that there's nothing wrong with her skill with ki.

Flight [Talented]: An essential means of maneuver to her style, Cynthia has practiced this widely.

Ki Sense [Competent]: Nothing special here, just the ease that comes with frequent use.

Ki Control [Competent]: Again, nothing special. Nothing to complain about.

Telepathy [Talented]: Cynthia practically abuses this on missions for the secure and high-fidelity means of communication it provides.

Styles
Krillin [Practitioner]: Cynthia has a solid core of study into this form and has practiced at the feet of her ancestor himself. She should be able to improve her standing yet further with relatively little, if dedicated, effort.
Relationships

Allies
Carrick Balor [Strong]: Her favorite uncle, the Seer Carrick doted on his niece. He, like everybody else of Cynthia's home universe, is gone now, but she will likely feel deeply obliged towards any recurrences of him.

Bassoon [Strong]: Cynthia gets along with Bassoon best of anybody in her team, having no real arguments with him other than his general pettiness regarding Super Saiyans. As he keeps it to occasional grumbling, it's not an issue.

Trunks [Strong]: You help Chronoa. "But that's not an answ-" You help Chronoa. Additionally, Trunks spent a year helping to train Cynthia. A closer friendship has formed.

House Balor [Dependable]: Cynthia got on well with her family, but ultimately was a young woman who had moved out of her parents' home, with a long history of clashing with the family faction that preferred to refuse wearing Masques as a point of protest. It was not the closest of bonds, even though it was certainly love. If she ever finds the main timeline from which her universe sprouted, there will be a tearful reunion, and House Balor will likely gain a fanatic protector.

Bonny [Dependable]: Bonny and Cynthia got along fairly well before the Majin Village Incident. Now Bonny tends to seethe with general irritation whenever Cynthia is nearby. Despite personal friction, however, it hasn't impacted Bonny's willingness to work together, and the mage has even offered to train Cynthia in healing. No active problems. Yet.

Agatha [Dependable]: It's not that Agatha and Cynthia have a problem, it's just that they aren't particularly close. They both appear to have failed to connect on a personal level. That said, Cynthia is strongly loyal to her team and Agatha is a consummate professional. They watch each other's back when circumstance demands.

Mato [Dependable]: Cynthia is not aware of it, but Mato is livid with her for her failure to mention FPSSJ to him, and holds her in a great deal of contempt for her views on the nature of the duality between Chronoa and the Time Queen. He hasn't brought it up and won't let it impact his performance on missions, but if relationships were based purely on personal feelings Mato would be down in the Enemies section. As it stands, she is a teammate, and he considers the job more important than personal feuds.

Chronoa [Dependable]: Chronoa considers the Time Patrol to be her personal responsibility, and Cynthia to be a reasonably reliable agent. Despite that, there's been little personal connection -- something likely not helped by Cynthia's vocal insistence about Chronoa's link with the Time Queen. That said, there have been no hurt feelings expressed.
Acquaintances
Karen [?]: ...what is she?

Majin Lilli [Neutral]: Honestly, given the nature of their introduction it's a miracle that Cynthia is this high in Lilli's estimation.
Enemies
The Enemy [Serious]: Like all Exiles, Cynthia has lived her life in distant terror of this mysterious being.

Verde Army, Vegal Team [Avowed]: Okay, so the members of this team range from cordial to murderous depending on who's addressing whom, but overall there's no denying that they are an active, personal, and very immediate threat.

Verde Army, General [Avowed]: Similarly, while the overall body of the Army has yet to reveal itself (possibly), they are obviously influential and well-connected, and possessed of a determination to follow their path further, no matter the costs.

You as well! Later. I have two updates to write, first.

Oh that is cool. If you have some extra time on your hands, I would love to see how you'd do Lilli's despite her lacking power at the moment.

"I don't know how strong or precise your Ki sense is, Bonny. And considering how openly you disdain the use of Ki, you'll forgive me for at least trying."

He maintains the pose for the moment, and Bonny can feel the stirring, wispy currents of Ki that he is using as a very, very gentle 'active search'.

"I'm currently able to locate anyone I want to, anywhere in most solar systems. Up to and including most of the Oort Cloud. I don't have multi-light-year range yet, but I'm hoping that focusing all of that ability onto a single planet, looking for signatures I'm familiar with, will at least give us a direction to head in. If we can get a direction, I trust your ability to isolate possible containment areas, and hopefully break us through whatever barrier exists."

He shifts slightly, and his eyes open as he looks calmly at Bonny.

"I'm relying on you to have some tricks up your sleeve to do so. Just as you can rely on me to watch your back in a fight. We're on a mission, so barring someone going completely off the reservation, we're a single unit. And please save any snark about that for until after the mission. I'm getting too old to hear lip from uppity kids."

Is....yeah, he's smirking a bit as he says that.

@KnightDisciple

Giving herself a fake old timer voice herself, she gargled as if she'd chain smoked cigars all her life before filling the void in her lungs with marbles. Shaking her fist, she created a walking stick from pure crystal and used that as she moved along. It was a simple magical trick, especially considering how much she could substitute power for finesse.

"Get off my lawn you grumpy old coot. We already know roughly where they will be, because its naturally the most inconvenient place for us... that's how these missions always work"

Pointing towards the location of the closest magical shield, she sighed dramatically as if she was revealing the secrets of the universe to a child. She was naturally making fun of him, but she did that to everyone.

"We already know those are magical shields, almost certainly with the other guy that has the burning red aura. With our collective luck, its likely going to be one of the shields that is actively besieged by Oozaru, or filled with infiltrators from the ones that like to interfere in our missions. I'm pretty sure if you just listen for the largest concentration of actively used power, you'll find what we are looking for."

She did hope it wasn't more maijin though.

@Nathaniel Wolff , I'm fine with Bassoon giving up the Ki search, just say "he finds nothing concrete" and I'll keep the conversational ball rolling.

I'm working on describing the 'warehouse'. It's not anything to do with Bonny or Bassoon.
