This is an info post for the
Duomacto contest! Feel free to ignore, unless you're really interested lol.
The "charming" boy on the left!
Name: Koji Lewin
Race/Species: Human
Age: 21
Personality: Koji is a kind-hearted - albeit rather perverted - young man. It's extremely easy to talk to him, especially if you're of the "female species" (he said that himself). He's easygoing and easily amused, but is also patient and has a high tolerance for a lot of noise. Because of this, people say he'd make a good father, but he likes playing the brother-figure more.
Sometimes, Koji is a bit of a spaz; other times, he's lazy and likes to play video games for hours on end. He's extremely competitive, but he's rarely ever rude, unless you get on the bad side of someone on his family.
He also farts a lot. No, seriously. But you really don't have to write about that hahaha.
Brief history: Koji grew up in a fairly large city called Alkabarr. His father was a mercenary, his mother was a doctor, and his sister was obnoxious. Still, he considered his twin Elise the closest companion he could ever ask for. Beating each other up all their lives was simply a display of affection, I swear.
Elise was thought to have died when the two of them were 19. He was crushed for the longest time, but he learned of a possibility that Elise might be alive. (This seemed almost impossible, since he saw her body before it was buried, but it WAS a pretty reliable source...) In the original setting, he confirms the rumor and joins up with Elise, but for the sake of being exciting and different, we can say that he's currently out looking for her! ;3
Strengths: He's athletic, especially in swordsmanship and soccer. And video games, but we won't go there; you wouldn't stand a chance. He's a sweet-talker, and so friendly that it's hard to hate him. He can also eat a lot.
Weaknesses: ... he's not very book-smart. He has a limited vocabulary, and often loses his way because of his geography issues. He also gets easily distracted by girls, and has a hard time fighting them sometimes.
Weapon: "Rai", a lightning-based elemental weapon made for him by his uncle. The hilt of the blade, as well as the handle on the end, are plastic and do not conduct electricity. That's mostly because Koji hates wearing gloves, but it's also a good safety net...
The weapon works using the mana in the air, and will thus be less effective in an area less concentrated with mana/energy/whatever it's called in that particular world.
The hilt also comes off and becomes a Swiss army knife. Attachments include, but are not limited to: switchblade, scissors, nail clippers, cutlery, toothbrush, laser pointer, purple glitter gel pen, vial-shaped shot glass, Pez dispenser, and pocket skillet (to make bacon for Kii).

The adorable girl on the right!
Name: Kira Lewin, aka Kii
Race/Species: Artificialite
Age: 1 and a half human years; appears about 12-13.
Personality: Kii is... overwhelmingly energetic and loud. She's quite intelligent, though that's just part of her programming; she doesn't really make good use of her intellect, unless she has to. She gets hungry frequently, and definitely makes it known to all those around her. She's carefree and likes to play childish games like hide and seek.
Having an occupation in weapons/inventions testing, Kii is good with technology and has a lot of fun figuring new stuff out. She's very careful, though, and isn't the least bit clumsy... though you'd almost expect her to be.
Lastly, her competitive and playful nature matches Koji's perfectly. They both want to be winners, so they make a good tag team.
Brief history: To explain her race a bit better, Kii is an artificialite, which is a realistic man-made human. Her body functions completely like a normal human's, though a lot of her organs are mostly mechanical and could be easily replaced. She was the first successful project, and her barcode (on her lower back) reads 0000-001.
Her real name, or model name, is KIRA: "Kinetic Intelligent Responsive Artificialite". The name Kii came from her being unable to fully pronounce "Kira" when she first awakened; only saying "Ki". She also spelled it with multiple I's when she first attempted to write (Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii!). The long vowel sound just sounded good, so it stuck.
Tryce Lewin, Koji's uncle, was one of the scientists who helped to create her. The team wanted her to try to get used to living like a normal human, so they sent her to live with him; she also took on his last name, and he acts as her father figure. In this sense, Kii and Koji are literally cousins.
Strengths: Kii's body is artificial, and thus has more stamina than a real human being. It takes a lot to tire her out, so she can run or fight for a long time. She can also lift more weight than Koji. Embarrassing, right?
Her body was also programmed to respond to all types of mana, even foreign types of energy, so she can use her mana bow in virtually any setting (unless the world has absolutely no life force).
Weaknesses: Kii needs to eat a lot in order to fuel her body; food is also a huge distraction to her. If you throw a piece of bacon, she will chase it like a dog. (This really only applies to bacon.) She isn't picky, but if she doesn't get enough food, she might shut down more quickly.
Kii is also prone to random spontaneous short-circuits that cause her to forget what's going on- and also to forget her sense of reason. If she randomly starts gnawing on your leg or shoulder, just kick her lightly and remind her what she's supposed to be doing.
Weapon: Also made by Tryce, no surprise there. Kii's weapon is basically a "bow" that can create arrows out of thin air. She just touches her hand to the clear orb on the top and focuses. Easy, right? Well, not just anyone can use it. Koji, who is a swordsman, doesn't have the right type of focus within him to create an arrow- at least not an arrow that will actually do anything.
Kii can make arrows of any elemental type, as well as a basic light arrow that works almost like a physical one. The only difference is that it just passes through matter and disappears instead of sticking; so, instead of having arrows sticking out of your back, you'll just be punched full of holes. As far as elements go, Kii's strongest type is wind; these arrows are just like normal arrows with a speed boost, and the ability to carry light objects (or other arrows) along with them.
(I should so post excerpts from my fiction to give a better reference here...)
Virtual Communication Bracelet: This is Kii's 24/7 connection to Tryce. She can contact him like this and speak to him, while his image is displayed live on the screen (and vice versa). If she forgets something or has a question, or just wants to annoy him, she can call him up.
Unfortunately, this plan does not include text messaging.
The device can also plug into any one of his inventions via a special cable if he needs to perform upgrades or maintenance.
