FULL NAME
      Ayami Miura

NICKNAME(S)
      Yami is the most common heard, although she will respond to her last name or any shortening of her first name such as Aya, Ami, and so on. Her classmates frequently call her A for the endless top marks she receives. Her family lovingly calls her Mimi, an amalgamation of her fullname invented by her baby sister. Her family are the only ones allowed to call her Mimi though, anyone else will simply receive a glare.

PLANET/STAR
      Mercury
      Mercury is the first planet from the sun and commonly known for its rapid orbit and extreme differences in temperature. It isn't uncommon to see the small, rocky planet in the Earth's sky on a clear morning or evening. Human history is littered with mentions of the planet. The Babylonians named it Nabu, the Greeks called it Apollo in the morning and Hermes, their messenger god, in the evening. Finally the Romans named it Mercury.

GENDER
      Female

AGE
      Seventeen, born 17 August, 2837

SEXUALITY
      Heterosexual

NATIONALITY
      Japanese with a hint of Austrian blood on her mother's side.

HEIGHT
      5'7"

WEIGHT
      125 lbs

HAIR COLOR
      Black with a dark blue hue

EYE COLOR
      A dark, sapphire blue

SKIN TONE
      Fair

GENERAL APPEARANCE
      Ayami is often described as willowy, her slender, graceful figure regularly drawing such sentiments from older relatives, who are especially surprised given the diminutive figure of her mother. Her long, dark hair is generally kept loose, falling down her back. Naturally straight, she does little to it aside from adding two red bows. She will also tie it into a single ponytail when she's playing sports or sitting a test. While she may not have inherited her mother's height, she did inherit her vivid blue eyes. Her eyes tend to glitter when she's amused and anyone who knows her well knows that her eyes frequently show emotions her face might not.

      Ayumi's style isn't overly showy, nor does she feel the need to follow new fashion as it hits the runways. Ayami would describe her style as cool, tidy, and casual with a hint of cute, particularly around Christmas when she'll regularly be found in her reindeer scarf. While Ayami's style might not be at the cutting edge of fashion, she would hardly consider herself at the opposite end of the spectrum either. She dresses herself well, wearing clothes and picking colours that suit her. She does have a preference for red and, if not wearing her bows, will frequently be found with some other red accessory.



“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.”

TALENTS
      Intelligence has always been evident in the Miura family and Ayami is no exception. Incredibly quick to grasp ideas, the young girl has always taken a comfortable seat at the top of the class. Most subjects come easily to her, although anything technology related is where her true genius shines. Of course, her exceptional mind is not her only talent, she is a fast runner and extremely agile.

FLAWS
      Ayami doesn't feel the need to talk for the sake of talking. Those who don't know her well can often find her silence and distant approach off-putting, with some even falsely mistaking it for arrogance. When she does chose to speak, her replies are often sarcastic. She has a sharp tongue and does not suffer fools easily, while she is not intentionally mean her direct way of speaking often finds her expressing the harsh truth. Impatience is also evident in her character. Ayami dislikes being kept waiting in most situations. She is also known for being overly-critical, her sharp eyes rarely missing faults.

FEARS
      Drowning scares Ayami more than she is likely to admit. The fear does not stop her swimming, but she will rarely be found alone in deep water. Her other greatest fear is losing a family member, particularly her little sister.




“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious -
the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”

PERSONALITY
      Much like the great differences in temperature on Mercury's surface, Ayami's personality also has its variations. To those that don't know her well the girl can come across as distant, cold, and unfriendly. Never one to talk your ear off and with both a dislike for and inability to make small talk, she often stays quiet. Some find this off-putting and attempt to fill the silence with unnecessary noise. A steady look from Ayami is usually enough to quieten the most determined chatterbox, but it usually isn't conducive to making friends.

      Yet, the girl is perfectly capable of making and retaining friends. While she may seen cold and distant to strangers, to those close to her a warmer side is always apparent. Although you will rarely hear Ayami shouting or speaking heedlessly, among friends there is an ease about her that is not always visible with strangers. She relaxes more, smiles, jokes, and visibly enjoys interacting with people. Her sarcastic replies, which can be extremely sharp with any who have offended her, take on a lighter, joking tone with friends.

      Ayami has always been blessed with a quick mind and sharp tongue. She seems to master ideas while her peers are still struggling with the fundamentals. School work has always come easily to her, even before the planets aligning began to unlock her powers. Her classmates took to calling her A because that was the only grade she ever seemed to gain. A quick mind is not the only thing Ayami possesses, as she is also a talented runner. She is quick, unfairly so according to some of her competitors who don't want to believe that she can have both brains and sporting talent.

      Of course, being quick of mind has its downsides. She often figures things out far faster than her peers and is often left impatiently waiting for her classmates to catch up. Ayami hates being kept waiting, regardless of the situation. Impatience often sees her tapping her foot or her fingers in irritation. She can also be extremely critical, analysing and judging people and situations with a look. To those she dislikes this can be detrimental, as the girl has no qualms about telling things like she sees it, which is often the harsh truth.

      While the girl has a dislike of needless noise, simply being obnoxiously loud isn't enough to earn a place in her bad books. Ayami is surprisingly forgiving. Someone may have wronged her once, but given a sincere apology she can forget the past wrong and move on. Continual insults and constant irritating may land someone on her list, but in general she doesn't tend to hold grudges. The only exception would be bullies. She hates seeing others being picked on, and will turn the full force of her sharp tongue on anyone who she finds bullying others.

POWER
      Hypercognition - The ability to instinctively or with little effort perform complex mental operations beyond the capability of a normal human mind. Ayami's power effectively allows her to learn at a seemingly impossibly fast rate. Intuitively understanding how something works, learning and mastering foreign languages with ease, analysing and predicting movements and so forth are all abilities that will, on unlocking her full powers, be easily accessible. At the moment her powers appear to come in flashes of brilliance, of which she has no control. But, she has noticed that when Mercury is visible in the sky her mind performs that much faster. It may not be a physical, showy power, but Ayami firmly believes that the mind is a person's greatest weapon.

FAMILY
      Aito Miura \\ Ayami's father. Aito owns and runs the family bookstore, having inherited it from his own father years before. Aito is a quiet, soft-spoken man who works hard to provide for his family. \\ 41
      Ine Miura \\ Ayami's mother. She helps Aito see to the store. Ine's own mother was of Austrian origin, which is mostly evident in Ine's eyes, a trait that Ayami has inherited. \\ 40
      Airi Miura \\ Ayami's baby sister, born when Ayami was nine years old. Airi is a sweet, sociable child who is rarely seen without a smile on her face. \\ 8

BIO
      Ayami Miurda was born on a clear August morning 17 years ago to Aito and Ine Miura. The small family was not incredibly rich, but the bookstore her father owned kept a roof over their heads and provided all the necessary comforts of modern living. The family actually lived above the small bookstore, and their comfortable apartment was always lined with books both old and new. The bookstore, when in the possession of Ayami's grandfather, had come close to closure numerous times during the war. Yet the store somehow remained open and since the end of the war has been steadily growing. Even with the advance of technology, there are still many people who love nothing more than curling up with a paper back, Ayami among them.

      Ayami's early childhood was filled with traversing the stories written by long gone authors. Her parents would read to her every night and then, when she learnt to read, it wasn't uncommon to see the girl with her nose stuck in a novel. From a young age it was clear that Ayami was gifted. While her parents were thrilled with her obvious intelligence, the children at school weren't quite as understanding, especially when paired with the fact that she spent most of her spare time reading alone. She was picked on and teased, called a nerd and a geek. At first Ayami tried ignoring the mocking, but the bullies didn't let up. It was only when she learnt to stand up for herself a year later that the bullying finally ended. That was in primary school, by the time she reached high school her classmates almost viewed her with awe.

      When Ayami was nine her parents announced that they were expecting another child. Her baby sister Airi was born several months later, much to Ayami's delight. The two girls are polar opposites, with Airi inheriting all the social skills that seem to have passed over Ayami. Ayami's sister makes friends with ease and is constantly happy, a smile seeingly always on her face. However, Airi is much more sensitive to other's emotions too. Ayami hates to see Airi upset and has been known to program computers to recite a song simply to see her sister smile.

      Before the planets began to align Ayami's life was relatively simple. She helped her parents out in the shop in the evenings and weekend, went to school, spent time with her friends, entertained her sister, and so on. School work was never an issue, she usually completed homework well before it was due. Her teachers praised her work ethic and brains, although privately they wished that she would make more of an effort to socialise outside of her immediate circle. Her small group of friends, much like with her family, Ayami holds close. They do not necessarily have to be as smart as her to gain her friendship, she believes that they all have traits that make them valuable as friends, as well as the simple fact that Ayami feels comfortable around them.

      The coming alignment of the planets was a source of great interest for the young girl. Ayami would consider herself an amateur astronomer and, during many celestial events, has been known to travel to the local observatory. The aligning planets planned to be the highlight of the century, astronomically speaking. Of course, finding out that she is supposedly a celestial being has left Ayami feeling unusually uncertain. She isn't sure what to make of the whole business as it falls well outside of logical reasoning. She has her doubts and has chosen to quietly see where everything leads before deciding what to do.

It is the afternoon of the seventeenth of March, 2854. It is almost nighttime.
It is fairly warm, and it is the night of the planet alignment. All of Japan is full of activity and commotion, with celebrations nearing their start. No human knows what to expect-- especially not the awakening of new celestials. With powers beginning to awaken, and the old celestials and guardians out on the hunt, the night will be anything but simple.

✤ M E R C U R Y ✤

17th March, 2854 \\ Downtown Tokyo



The book is heavy in her lap, the old tome thick with knowledge and ideas millennia old. Dark, sapphire eyes fly over the words, absorbing their meaning with hungry enthusiasm. The dark haired girl is lost to the world, her mind captured by the glimpse of the past her book offers. Even the regular sounds of the train's passage have faded to the back of her mind, the excited chattering of the other passengers only passing background noise. The train begins to slow, before coming to a smooth stop, an impressive feat given that it had just been traveling at over 400 km an hour. Ayami's concentration is not broken, despite registering the opening and closing of the carriage doors, in fact it is only when she is spoken to directly that she glances up. The lady beside her has been replaced with a new passenger, a middle-aged man, who seems interested in Ayami's choice of literature. It is he who has chosen to interrupt her.

"That's a big book for such a little girl." He remarks, condescension clear in his attitude, even if he himself is not aware of it. "What language is it even written in?" Ayami is reluctant to answer, she would prefer to ignore the man completely and return to her book. However, his apparent disbelief that a school girl could be reading such a book spurs her to answer.
"This copy is written in Greek." She replies calmly, her gaze unwavering as she inspects the man "Metaphysics by Aristotle, I presume you have heard of Aristotle? Many consider him the Father of thinking. Or perhaps you favour Plato, or Socrates?" The man, apparently, has not heard of Aristotle, Plato, or Socrates, and seems to quickly regret his earlier comment. Rather than admit as much aloud he chooses to shift his attention to his hands, a red flush spreading across his cheeks. Ayami had not intended to embarrass him, but she hates being interrupted while reading and has a rather direct way of speaking. Sometimes it can't be helped.

Ayami is free to return to her reading, however an announcement echoes throughout the carriage, letting the passengers know that the next stop is the downtown hub. It is also her stop, one she might have missed had she not been interrupted by her neighbour. The girl stands, tucking the paperback into her bag, before stepping towards the carriage doors. She waits patiently for the train to pull into the station, leaning against a metal pole as she does. The poles are more decorations than safety precautions, thanks to the stabilizing technology that allows trains to run as smoothly as if they weren't moving at all. The train comes to a standstill. With a pleasant ping the doors open and Ayami, along with many other passengers off to enjoy what downtown Tokyo has to offer, disembarks.

The streets of downtown Tokyo are buzzing with talk of the planets' alignment. Shop fronts are lit up with pictures of the planets, while every second restaurant or bar is advertising that their rooftop or holographic screen is the best in town to watch it on. Ayami pauses on the street, casting her gaze up into the sky. Mars and Jupiter could be seen as bright sparks in the sky, while Ayami knew, sensed, that Mercury and Venus would be making similar movements.

Ayami would hardly claim to be a professional astronomer, but her interest in celestial movements was more than just a passing fancy. Recent eclipses and comet showers had seen the girl taking the trip to Tokyo's largest observatory, where the astronomers and scientists who watched the stars welcomed the bright, young student with open arms. It had therefore been something of a surprise to her acquaintances at the observatory when she had regretfully declined their invitation to watch the alignment from the observatory. Ayami knew nowhere else in the city would have a better view, yet for reasons she couldn't quite explain to herself she had refused.

Instead, Ayami had accepted an invitation to meet up with a few friends, a meeting she is now making her way towards. While the view might not be as stunning as from the observatory, the meeting with friends has its own advantages, not least that several of them will be attending university in the coming weeks and this will be one of Ayami's last opportunities to see some of them. Thankfully, a number had chosen to attend university in Tokyo, which ensured that Ayami will still be able to see them regularly. University for Ayami is still a year off and she will be returning to her high school once break was over to complete her final year.

It seems everyone in the city is out tonight, keen to enjoy the event with friends. As the sun set strings of light began to illuminate the street. Lanterns attached outside shop fronts give the streets a festive vibe. A woman running a stall selling sweet treats wishes Ayami a happy alignment as the girl buys herself a snack. Ayami has to smile at that as she nibbles on her snack, 'Happy Alignment' makes it sound like some sort of holiday akin to Christmas or New Years. Of course the alignment is something to celebrate. The once in a millennia event is something special, or the coming of the end if you would believe the critics.

Her feet lead her through the streets, aiming all the time for the area where she had agreed to meet her friends. When she reaches the square Ayami finds that she is the first to arrive. Taking a seat along the edge she continues to nibble on her sweets, her eyes watching passersby as she waits. Her free hand drifts to her pocket, pulling out her handheld holographic device, or cellphone as they are still sometimes called. Her thumb taps the screen quickly a few times, bringing up a glowing, golden holographic sphere inches from the screen. The sphere appears to multiply, each new sphere changing colour and size until eight miniature planets and a blazing sun have created an exact replica of the solar system. Another tap sees a small sphere appear, adding Pluto, the dwarf planet, to the end.

Ayami's little finger reaches out to gently touch the replica Mercury, sending a shiver down her back. The girl frowns ever so slightly, before resting the phone, and by extension holographic solar system, on her knee. At least now, while she's waiting for her friends, she can watch as the planets slowly align for the first time in modern history.

✤ M E R C U R Y ✤

17th March, 2854 \\ Downtown Tokyo




Sharp azure eyes gaze out at the passing crowds, following the movements of individuals and groups as they make their way through the square. People watching is a habit of the school girl, who uses the distraction as a means to stop herself tapping her foot in impatience. Patience has never been a virtue of the girl, her impatient trait usually appearing when she's forced to wait for her classmates to catch up in classwork, or for her sister to get ready in the morning. Right now she knows she has no reason to be impatient as she's sure her friends aren't far away, and she was the one that arrived early. Even so, to take her mind off the passing seconds she's taken to watching the passersby.

Her gaze falls on a small family of three, two young parents watching their young daughter skipping across the square in front of them. The girl is no more than four years old and sporting a pair of multicoloured ribbons tied into her hair. She's giggling as she skips, her hands making flapping motions as if she were about to suddenly take flight. Ayami is reminded of her own younger sister, who, despite being much older, still has the same child-like enjoyment of the world.

Her eyes follow the girl's steps and then, as if a door has been opened, Ayami has a moment of clarity. Between the rise and fall of her lashes her mind expands and before her the probabilities are laid bare, her mind suddenly gifted with the capacity to calculate every feasible reality. The girl's movements, the ebb and flow of the throng around her, the shadows cast by surrounding lights, even the subtly shifting gradient of the pavement all combine to give Ayami a clear view of what could happen. It isn't foresight, rather the ability to calculate the probability of an event happening based on surrounding circumstances. Even before the little girl turns to skip back to her parents Ayami knows that she will be turning right and that her father will bend down to catch her as she runs into his arms. The chances of neither happening are slim enough that they are, essentially, negligible.

Her mind does not question it's sudden insight, acknowledging that this is merely the next step, simply the expansion of her mind. It feels strange, alien, and yet familiar at the same time, like a friend returning after several years abroad. And then, as quickly as this magical insight arrived, it departs. No longer can she see the constant flow of probability, her mind once again returned to its normal state, leaving behind the faint sting of a small headache.

Ayami closes her eyes, attempting to adjust to the sudden lack of insight. Although it was only there for a few seconds at best, the loss of it has left Ayami temporarily reeling. As she collects herself she tries, and fails, to explain why and how what just happened happened. She has no answers, all she knows is that she wants it back. Her eyes flutter open and she gazes up at the barely visible planets in the sky. She hopes that Tokyo would turn the city lights off before the alignment, as the light pollution severely hindered being able to properly see the night sky.
