Background/History: Here!
Personality:Alice Synthesis Thirty exists as one of the Integrity Knights, dragon-riding knights that protect Underworld from any breakers of the «Taboo Index» or creatures from the «Dark Territory». This duty requires Alice's undying loyalty and full attention, and she has been molded into the perfect knight for it. Alice's sense of justice aligns with only the «Taboo Index» and her own formed sense of chivalry; her intolerance for any sort of misconduct is relentless even when her childhood friend and prisoner at the time, Eugeo extended a hand out to reach her, she responded quickly by striking him with her «Fragrant Olive's» scabbard, and ordered him not to speak or move if not asked of while on their journey to «Central Cathedral», the tower of operations for the «Axiom Church». This lack of affection for her old friend is not of her full control; during the «Synthesis Ritual» memories of her most beloved were replaced with a «Piety Module», a prism that is inserted into the forehead of a Integrity Knight, that causes one to suppress any trace of their former lives and replace such memories with forced devotion and loyalty to the «Axiom Church».
Despite the Administrator's brainwashing, Alice's compassion has not withered away like her memories. Behind the armour, icy reception, and devotion to the law, she certainly has the capacity to care for those around her. It has been noted, and witnessed by Bercouli Synthesis One (the first Integrity Knight, and one of Alice's respected elders) that she cried when handling the task of burying her dragons' mother. Caring for other's seems to come as another nature to her; when Kirito is gravely injured after a battle and left in a comatose state, Alice takes the task with vigor, tending to his needs by his bedside until he awakens. Even for her
sword, she makes time to allow it to bask in precious sunlight, and refers to it as "child". Despite the «Synthesis ritual» she does not lose this, nor her stew making ability, which stands as a truly admirable feat for the young knight.
Though during battle, Alice's demeanor can shift from cold and calculating, to mocking her opponents for ill-judged decisions and their inferiority in battle compared to herself. When facing Kirito and Eugeo atop the «Cloudtop Garden», she jeers at them for even considering to attack her without their swords drawn, yet spares their lives despite their ignorance. This shows that Alice also enjoys moral swordsmanship, and would rather smite down her enemies after allowing them a chance to defend themselves. During this battle, Alice expresses her ability to adjust to a situation quickly that leaves Kirito and Eugeo resulting to desperation after Eugeo's «Blue Rose Sword» failed to capture her.
Even as a child, Alice has been called a 'prodigy' for this ability to adapt and learn; at a young age she excelled at the «Sacred Arts», often only for little commands like predicting the weather for the villagers and so forth. But as a Integrity Knight, this has allowed her to achieve and excel at a faster pace than some fellow Integrity Knights, even sparking some jealousy, not that Alice has done much to acknowledge it
(Fanatio Sythesis Two, I am lookin at you). It is fair to say that underestimating the fair-haired beauty is a terrible mistake to make..
Many of the things that make Alice Synthesis Thirty tick have not been shown in full detail, nor been given the room to grow, but without a doubt, we will be seeing much more of this enigmatic knight during the events that occur in «Underworld».
Abilities/Powers:>
Swordsmanship: As an Integrity Knight, it is only expected that Alice is able to use her Divine-Instrument-class weapon, Fragrant Olive Sword, to the level of a sword-master. Fragrant Olive weighs a hell of a lot more than a normal sword, and easily defect most.
Though her ability does not just extend to not just extend to the traditional sword-fighting style; once the «armament full control art» is in effect, the splits into thousands of flower petals measuring exactly one cen (cm) long. Despite their minute size, each of these petals carry an absurd amount of weight and posses a razor sharp edges much like the sword's intact edge. These petals are controlled by Alice's grip on the sword's hilt, under this control, they can travel at high-speed in rapid & unpredictable movement whilst midair.
>
Sacred Arts: Upon being brought into the Synthesis Knights, she managed to be trained by Bercouli. But she long surpassed many of the others in the ranks, some rumours had even spawned that she would some day succeed Administrator because of her skill in the arts.
>
Dragon-riding: Yes, uh, all Integrity Knights can ride dragons. When Eugeo and Kirito were arrested, Alice transported them via Integrity Knight dragon. They are also used in combat, or so the three once witnessed in their childhood. But alas, she will have to remain without it in Haven.
Items/Weapons:Her
Integrity Knight Armour and
Fragrant Olive Sword.
Sample Entry:[
She had encountered various assists to the Sacred Arts, but surely nothing quite like this. She's staring at the camera, her azure eyes widening at the lens whist the little red light indicates that the video function is now, 'on'. She has.. an inkling of what to do, so she follows that instinct. Little could get any worse from this anyway. ]
I do not entirely understand the situation in which I have found myself in: I require information, at once, by my authority given to me by the Axiom Church.
[
A moment passes by, she's just staring at the camera now. And she is receiving absolutely no form of replies. ]
... I do not intend to wait any longer. [
Is that threat in her voice oh? ] Do not force me to reduce 70% of your «Life».
[
Alice.. This is not UnderWorld. Surely there will be others who do not respect nor fear your authority.
You will have to come up with better than that. ]
Sample Entry Two:In the life of an Integrity Knight, one must live out entirely by the law they strive to uphold. If not, what balance would exist? What would be the point of the «Taboo Index»? To allow injustice, crime, and evil to drive the inhabitants of this world? The Axiom Church would not allow it. As an Integrity Knight, it is your duty to make sure such travesty must never occur, even if that must require your full devotion.
But what else does she know? She's a blank slate for the Axiom Church. Like any other knight of this order, what do they know from other than the orders and ideals they are told?
Clear, strong footsteps resound throughout the hallways of the Central Cathedral; swift, the pace wasn't lax in the slightest. The order had been issued. Two young boys had broke the «Taboo Index» by committing the worst of taboos. Murder and maiming, they were not crimes to be taken lightly by any means. The Axiom Church did not require the circumstances, if the crime was committed, it was over from the individual right at that point. But should there not be a second chance? This thought troubled her; it stood on the moral of what she had come to ever know.. Yet No. The reasoning of the church is absolute, it would only be treachery if one would think against it. But..
Two names: Kirito and Eugeo. Location: The Royal Swordsmanship Academy.
Nothing clicked at that moment there was nothing there to click. She is Alice Synthesis Thirty, according to the rest of this world, Alice Schuberg of the past was executed for committing the taboo of entering prohibited «Dark Territory». Azure eyes glanced over the names, acknowledging the information, registering these stranger's names, before swiftly departing to begin travelling to the academy. The task was simple from here on out, nothing strange would happen from here on.
... How wrong she was.
