Mission 0000 and Synopsis of Characters

          Once upon a time, in a far away place, there was a land of the free, a.k.a. Triagot.  Triagot was similar to America, except for the fact that it was a magical world and anything was possible.  Dragons and fairies lived with humans and mermaids alike.  Super-heroes and heroines roamed that world, chasing and capturing the “super- villains.”  The source of the magic and fantasy came from the Fantasiatic Well.  The source of the well came from all the people in Triagot who continually believed in all of the dragons and fairies and Superheroes and heroines.  But there were also people who believed in the ghosts and demons and witches and whatnot.
          Soon, everyone got tired of all the fantasy and wanted to try something more difficult.  Something hard.  Something that HAD rules and laws and restriction.  Soon Rumors about a new, challenging world spread, and people started forgetting the mermaids and magic and turned to things like art, science, and religion, and other things that would disregard fantasy as “real.”  The mermaids and dragons panicked for they had no power in being able to supply the magic for the Fantasiatic Well.  And without the humans constantly believing in magic, they knew that they would disappear.  They could do nothing to stop that tragedy, and slowly, one by one, each species of dragon, fairy, super-hero, and super-villain died.  Over time, that world’s magic totally diminished and all that was left could only be called “Normal” and “Real.”  But the Fantasiatic Well did not disappear.  That meant that someone still believed that magic existed.  Someone believed enough, so that the Fantasiatic Well would continue to exist.  And I think that’s how I got this power.  This power of fire. 
          Me.  I’m Himiko Arukai.  My “code name” is Thorn.  Thorn, because a thorn is ‘not to be laughed at’ or picked on (hah, I’d like to see you try beat up a thorn bush). I wish I could be like that.  Be terrifying and respected.  Like heck I’m not.  So yes, the name works enough for me.  Well, Himiko isn’t terrifying or respected; she’s just a quiet little schoolgirl.  She’s nice and friendly, and sometimes pissed off but she isn’t terrifying.  But thorn can be.  I have the power of fire.  And when I get pissed off, I can use that power.  I think what happens is that I get all tense an’ stuff and the power flows.  Sorta like how words can flow when you get pissed.  But I hardly ever swear.  I use my power.  Smirk.  Hah.  In other words, don’t mess with me.  I may look small an’ innocent, but you don’t want to be dealing with Thorn. 
          This power was just always with me, I didn’t learn it, like witchcraft, it just WAS.  Heh, but I never used it on anyone when I was younger.  That’s not how life works.  Not for me.  I don’t go around hurting everyone just because I might have an advantage.  Sheesh.  If I had a whole gang of people chasing after me, firepower might not even slow them down. 
          My best guess is that someone wanted the magic and power to continue in Triagot.  But this land is not called “Triagot” anymore.  It’s been named and renamed countless times and the name “America” has stuck.  And so, America it is, and we are on Earth, a name familiar to you all.  But, technically, Earth is still that old land of Triagot. 
          I don’t know why I’ve got the power.  I don’t think it’s for some “Mysterious Destiny” or anything.  Although, if I have supposedly “fictional” magic to begin with, a mysterious destiny is possible…  And I know for a fact that there are others.  Others with a similar power.  

Characters

Thorn.  I am the first member of the team.  My uniform was traditionally a black outfit that covered my entire body although now it's been modified for comfort.  My colors were originally purple in black, but now I kind of like red too...  I like going out on missions although I have limited abilities and I cannot fly.  I also cannot fight with my power of fire in aquatic areas.  I use my power of fire to blast spheres of energy at opponents and i can also form my energy into tangible objects to throw or place as traps.  I don't know much martial arts but I use what I can because I love hand to hand combat.

Rose.  Third person introduced to the crime fighting idea (Tiger was second, as I recall…but Rose is officially the 2^nd member ‘cause Tiger hardly comes around) Her uniform is usually made of a short miniskirt, belt, and tubetop- all in a maroon tone.  Rose is more the indoor type and is often assigned control room duty.  Although the control room wasn’t even used in the first four missions, it’s there for later use.  Rose is skilled in some martial arts but also uses her poisons and weapons to fight.

 
Ice.  She’s skilled in archery, swordsmanship, and martial arts.  Her uniform varies according to whatever is comfortable and that usually eliminates any skirts or excessively revealing clothes.  Her main colors are shades of light blue, white, and silver.  Ice is usually assigned to missions of assassination (only to get rid of baddies) although that’s primarily what we always do.  No leaving the bad guys for the cops in this job.  She is equipped with an “ice” power, which is focused mainly on her sword.  She can instantaneously create “ice daggers” or other weapons that can melt without a trace.

Angel.  The peacemaker.  She’s nice most of the time, but can be really mean and serious when need be.  She can use her  “psychic power” to probe minds and destroy people’s sanity.  Her staff contains most of her power.  She is skilled in martial arts but doesn’t have to resolve to that very often.  Her colors are white, orange, and yellow.  When she gets pissed, her outfit morphs into something more…drastic.   She can fly when she wants, since all angels have wings.  She and Ice take the missions that require flight.
