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.

(???)

[Yield This Blade To Claim The Void]
When Akemi attacks an enemy's weakness, she gains health equal to half the damage she dealt, rounded up.

[Infinite-Iaijutsu]
Voidcutter has two Stances: Sheathed and Drawn. It starts in Drawn. When Voidcutter is Sheathed, Akemi gains Taunt 2 (x2 chance to be attacked). However, when she activates an attack with the (Unsheathe) effect, that attack will gain powerful effects, and deals +5 damage. Attacks that unsheathe and draw ignore range— the opponent just has to be within Akemi's line of sight.

[Unbending]
When an ally goes to 25% HP or less, Akemi automatically gains Taunt 3, and uses Prepared Parry on that ally. While she is in this state, she takes -5 damage until it wears off at the end of her next turn. This may only trigger twice per battle.

Attacks:
Basic Attack
A basic attack, usable in either Stance. Blunt 2d6 during Sheathed and 2d6+2 Slash while Drawn.

Sheathe (Blade)
(1 Use Per Scene)
DC: 40

Physical. Enter Sheathed Stance. Akemi gains a temporary bonus to her damage next roll equal to 4+x, where x is every increment of 10 that she rolled above DC.

Sheathe (Void)
(1 Use Per Scene)
DC: 40

Magical. Enter Sheathed Stance. Akemi gains a bonus to her damage reduction until unsheathed equal to 2+2x, where x is every increment of 10 that she rolled above DC.

Draw (The Line Of Death)
(2 Uses Per Scene)
DC: 60

Physical. Deals 2d6+6 Slash damage. Unsheathe if possible. If Unsheathed, damage dealt becomes 3d8+4 Slash damage to one enemy, and they gain a Slash weakness for the rest of combat.

Draw (Black Hole of Sorrow)
(2 Uses Per Scene)
DC: 60

Magical. Deals 2d6+4 Dark damage. Unsheathe if possible. If Unsheathed, this attack deals 3d6+4 Dark damage instead, and gains (AoE), hitting up to five enemies!

Reclamation
(1 Use Per Combat)

If health restored using Akemi's first passive is more than 10 over her max, Akemi may use this the turn after to take the Overhealed health and give it to her teammates. Akemi decides how to split the health. She then gets a bonus action with a -10 to her roll.

Reposition
(1 Use Per Scene)

Usable during Sheathed Stance. Increase Taunt to guaranteed levels, and then increase next two enemy hit DCs targeting Akemi by an amount equal to a Physical roll/2. (Max +50 to next hit DC)

Prepared Parry
(Usable Twice Per Scene)
DC: 60

Choose one character to place under Protection, and roll a Physical roll. (This roll has an additional +20 modifier if targeting Rei or Himari. Akemi may have any number of characters under Protection.)

[Adaptive Firewall]

[Technopathy: Improvised]
This character can have an unlimited amount of Equipment equipped, as long as the equipment has the (Improvised) trait. Basic Attacks are not replaced by each piece of equipment, but instead have the damaging dice and any traits from that piece of equipment added to them!

Sudden Kill
DC: 90
(Usable Once Per Combat)


Signature Attack of the Guild. Deal 4d8 piercing damage to one character. If this Crits, deal x4 damage.

(Note: all Code attacks scale off of Technical, and must be used once each before they can be used again.

[Code: Disable]
DC: 60


Deal 2d8 Electric damage. When an enemy is hit by this, roll a d12+2. Their next attack deals that much less damage. (Cannot go below 2.)

[Code: Break]
DC: 70


Deal 3d8 Electric or Cyber damage. (Kuromi gets to choose.) When an enemy is hit by this, the next attack on them does 1.5x damage, or +5 damage, whichever one is higher.

[Code: Shelter]
DC: 70


Gain 2 actions on your next turn. Get a bonus +15 health, +5 extra for every 10 you roll above DC. Bonus health does NOT stack, and dissapears after 3 turns.

[Code: Dodge]
DC: ???

Set the next 2 DCs for your opponents attacks to whatever you roll with this. (Maxes out at 75) Then, get a bonus action with your roll halved.

[Code: Integer Overflow]
DC: 50


Must be used after all four other Code attacks are used. Deal 2d6 Electric or Cyber damage to ALL combatants, and then end your turn. You may use all Code attacks again (this effect applies even on failure.)

Gather your power with a technical roll. For every 10 rolled above DC, add 5 to the next roll. Then, roll a Physical roll and hit for 3d6+4 Slash damage with a jumping claymore slash. Set [Scrap Claymore] as your Equipment.

Improvised (This piece of Equipment breaks after one more use.)
Gain 1d6 Blunt Damage. On Crit when attacking with this weapon, an enemy loses one action on their next turn.

Slingshot Tosser
(2 Uses Per Scene)
DC: 20/50

Gather your power with a technical roll. For every 10 rolled above DC, add 5 to the next roll. Then, roll a Physical roll that deals 2d6 Force damage and can hit faraway enemies. Set [Scrap Slingshot] as this character's equipment.

-High Mental, High Magical, Low Physical.
Perk:
[Archmage of Autumn]

No. 4 in all of Japan. A sorceress with a free spirit.
When this character encounters a Magical DC of 80 or less, she may choose to forgo a roll and autopass it. (This perk may only be used a limited number of times per Week, usually once or twice.)

I want I want to let you know that I read them out loud with my dog as the only audience very fun would recommend
 
A little surprised at the results so far, thought a lot of people were adamant about wanting a magical boy for a change

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...
