Profile: Phaze

NAME:

Phaze

TITLE:

Nameless on her Shugyosha

BIO:

Born into The Community, Phaze has never known a life outside the ancient walls of The Stronghold. From a young age, she stood out not for her raw physical power but for her natural connection to the Meditative State, the metaphysical force that many Nameless struggle to grasp. Unlike others who favor brute strength, Phaze enhances her combat skills with mental clarity and focus, using her ability to phase through objects and disintegrate her body to gain the upper hand in battles. Her unique fighting style, combined with her extroverted and charismatic personality, has made her a key figure among the Nameless.

Now, on her Shugyosha, Phaze is driven not just by the desire to earn a Name, but also by a personal ambition—to one day challenge Tora, one of the greatest Style Assassins, in a real fight. Phaze doesn't seek victory; she seeks respect and mastery, knowing that earning a Name is just the beginning of her journey.

POWERS:

• Phasing (Disintegration/Reintegration): Phaze can disintegrate her physical body and reintegrate it at will, allowing her to evade attacks, pass through small spaces, or surprise enemies by shifting positions mid-fight.

• Meditative State Mastery: Phaze is deeply connected to the Meditative State, using its calm focus to enhance her agility and combat precision, as well as healing herself and creating brief shields.

• Enhanced Combat and Acrobatic Skills: Though not as physically dominant as Action State users, Phaze’s fighting style is swift, agile, and unpredictable, allowing her to match up against stronger opponents.

AFFILIATIONS:

The Community, The Nameless

ARCH NEMESIS:

The Children as a whole, though she will also face other personal enemies on her Shugyosha.

BRIEF HISTORY:

Phaze was born and raised within The Stronghold, steeped in the teachings of The Community. Her journey has been one of constant study and training, focusing on mastering the Meditative State to distinguish herself from other Nameless who favor physical prowess. She has spent her entire life preparing for her Shugyosha, a test that will determine whether she is worthy of earning a Name. Along the way, Phaze has cultivated friendships and rivalries among her peers, though her true aspiration is to challenge Tora—a legendary Style Assassin—in battle. Whether she wins or loses is secondary to the recognition of being able to stand her ground.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

Phaze is an athletic and fit woman, standing around 5'6", with a lean, toned physique that speaks to her acrobatic combat style. She has long brown hair that often peeks out from beneath her light gray hoodie, which she wears casually even in combat situations. Her face is partially obscured by a silver mask, adding an air of mystery to her persona, but her piercing brown eyes convey an alertness and energy that are hard to miss.

Her outfit is practical—distressed jeans and sneakers—giving her the flexibility and agility she needs in combat. Despite her casual look, she moves with precision and intent, her ability to phase through objects making her seem almost untouchable when she's in motion.

PERSONALITY TRAITS:

Extroverted and energetic, Phaze is a social butterfly among the Nameless. She thrives on conversation and company, always the first to strike up a dialogue or form a bond with a new ally. Her optimism and enthusiasm are infectious, but she’s also incredibly focused on her personal goals. Though highly skilled in combat, she enjoys the journey of mastering The Current as much as the fights themselves. Her light-hearted nature never detracts from her dedication to self-improvement.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Phaze counts all Nameless on their Shugyosha as potential allies, though the unpredictability of the journey means some may go Rogue, and others may become rivals. The Children, enemies of The Community for centuries, are her natural foes, but she will undoubtedly make new allies and enemies as her Shugyosha progresses. Her greatest inspiration comes from Tora, a Style Assassin she hopes to one day challenge in combat—not for the sake of victory, but for the honor of being considered a worthy opponent.

BELIEFS AND VALUES:

Phaze is deeply committed to the ideals of self-mastery and growth. She believes that the journey of mastering all three Sacred States is the highest form of achievement and that recognition through a Name is the ultimate proof of one’s worth. Her desire to challenge Tora is not born out of ego but out of a need to measure her progress against the best.

GOALS:

Phaze’s ultimate goal is to master the three Sacred States and earn her Name within The Community. However, her personal ambition to one day face Tora in combat is equally significant, driving her to train relentlessly, not for victory but for the honor of competing at the highest level.

WEAKNESSES:

Phaze’s reliance on the Meditative State leaves her vulnerable in situations where quick, instinctual physical responses are required. While she can phase through objects and attacks, it requires focus, meaning sudden assaults or distractions can break her concentration and leave her exposed. Additionally, her extroverted personality, while a strength in many cases, may lead her to trust too easily, creating potential risks on her Shugyosha.
