Author's Note: This story is a new collection I thought up of, to be filled with all sorts of stories, be it crossovers with other media and series and such, or what-ifs and situations that the OCs will be in. This is centered around the OCs, but there will obviously still be characters from Brave Frontier. I hope to work on this fanfiction nicely.
I thought it would be fitting for the first chapter to be a sort of overview of the current characters to be introduced in this story, but I hope for there to be more characters, seeing as I did not find or get permission to use most, if not ALL, of the OCs the authors on this site have. Working on this story can eat into my time to work on other stories, but this is simply an idea I wanted to show to all the readers here.
I hope you enjoy this preview!
And happy late Third Anniversary!

The Village of the Venturer
The Kiyo Twins' House
"Tsunma! Tsunma!"
Akuma gritted his teeth.
"Tsunma! Baka tsundere! You're going to keep everyone waiting!"
The black-haired boy wanted nothing more than to smash the kid's face into pulp.
"Your precious Angel is waiting~" Fray called out in a monotone voice.
"Screw you kid!"
Akuma, looking freshly dressed in a dark suit, leapt from his balcony and aimed for two annoyingly cute cat ears.
Fray suddenly stepped aside, leaving him to plant his face to the ground.
"There you are Akuma. Those girls were not going to tear you apart," Fray chided. "You also cannot miss the Summoners' Hall's anniversary party as well, being one of the brave Summoners who led the charge. What kind of uncharacteristic behavior are you showing now, wuss?"
The demonic Summoner erupted from the ground, making a lunge for Fray, who stepped aside and stuck a foot out.
Akuma ate dirt once again.
"You do realize that Angel is attending the celebration right? There are less than honorable, lecherous Summoners who would sink into something there."
The older guy heard all of that, processing it all-
"ANGEL I'M COMING BABY!" he shouted, running off at top speed.
No! He will never let his twin be... taken!
Lunar Rin's House
Lunar's Room
Boom!
"Oh gods," Lunar swore as she sorted through her dresses, "Selena? You alright?"
Selena yelled a muffled reply back. She probably got a new one ripped into her. The cannon that was recently fired probably had lost its ammunition in Selena's chest.
Swish!
"Close call Dion!"
"L-Lunar, why in the world didn't you get rid of these traps? They're going to kill someone! In an incredibly innocent-looking backyard!"
"Sorry Dion, but uh, maybe I bought the top-grade ones?"
The Units cursed loudly as they released a trap full of Cerberuses.
Then someone rapped on her door.
"Lunar, are you ready?" Fray called through the door. "The celebration is to start in an hour."
"F-Fray! Gimme a sec!"
After some deliberation between 'sexy' and 'frilly', she went with a dark purple, strapless dress and showed herself off to Fray.
"How do I-" she started, but Fray grabbed her hand.
"Shimmer is already waiting, so you would do well to arrive in time," he said.
He led her to the front door, impatient and wanting to go outside in time for the celebration.
Well, he sure likes to be a mood-killer.
"But you look nice. I'm sure it will look better during nighttime," he told her.
Lunar cracked a smile, muttering, "Smooth..."
She turned to the house, shouting, "Guys, I'm gonna be gone, so, thanks for your sacrifice?"
Her Units answered back, agreeing that she has to help clean up once she got back.
She just chuckled.
"So where are we going Kuroneko?" Lunar asked, using her best nickname for Fray.
Fray gave her a look of disapproval that probably secretly meant he liked it, despite his stoic demeanor, in Lunar's opinion. "Mizuki-dono's house," he replied anyway.
"Ooh~ you gonna ask her for a-"
She yelped when he tightened his grip.
The Hakuryuus' Apartment
"Mi~ Chan~" the eldest of the sisters cooed.
Akki was a dangerous assassin who had her own side that likes to get personal with Mizuki, so the younger sister would do her best avoiding, sometimes even going so far as to hide at a friend's place. Her older sister's next-to-perverted side was something to be cautious of after all.
Today, however, she enlisted the help of a trustworthy young man.
"What the- It's you brat? Oh don't you come and take a-"
Shiing! Something cut through the air. Whump! Someone fell to the floor.
"Mizuki-dono." There he was.
"Fray-san," she called out, stepping out of the wardrobe she was hiding in. She smoothed out the wrinkles on her white kimono as she came to examine the damage.
"Large sleeping doses, enough to last until the next day," Fray reported, "although I am concerned with Akki-dono's resistance to most substances."
Mizuki shook her head. "It is fine. The mixture I gave you should at least guarantee four hours."
She went inside her room to grab her white fox mask and wore it around her head.
"That is an exquisite design Mizuki-dono." Fray was looking at the mask.
"Thank you. My parents..." she faltered.
The boy nodded in respect. "Shall we go now?"
"We shall."
James Graham's House
Kitchen
"Mr. Graham?" He heard Fray ask just outside the front door.
"Ah, hang on there Fray."
James fixed his black pinstriped suit some more and looked at himself in a mirror.
"James Graham," Valerie asked from another room, "you know how to use suits? But not dresses?"
"Why yes I do, and no to the last question. At least I can take care of clothes better than you."
Valerie was probably blushing with embarrassment. She already ripped two fine dresses and was forced to use her own zel to buy another one. She was being helped by one of his Units, Tora.
"T-Tora that's tight...!"
"S-Sorry! I am unfamiliar with this kind of dress..."
Riiippp!
"Sorry! Sorrysorrysorry!"
"Gah, i-it's fine!"
Fray walked into the kitchen and scrutinized James. "You look rather sharp Mr. Graham, but I see that Miss Windell has a problem now."
James mouth twitched, wanting to correct him. But no matter how many times he told him to call James and Valerie by their first names, he deliberately ignored them and used their last names.
"Are the preparations going well?"
Fray nodded. "Elder Grahdens wanted something involving a bikini party at the beach, but Elder Owen put his foot down on that."
"What a relief. Why is that pervert still in charge?"
"Don't ask me. I am still a mercenary at best to them."
Valerie was heard wailing, Tora making a similar apologetic sound. James just sighed as Fray looked amused at this everyday activity.
At least they live normally, peacefully.
In this chapter, these are the original characters of the authors:
Code of Codex: Akuma and Angel Kiyo
LunarRin: Lunar Rin and Shimmer Xin (her cousin submitted this character)
Katschi: Hakuryuu Mizuki and Akki

GENERAL
Full Name: Fray
Nicknames: Kid, Scout, Cat, Kuroneko (rarely)
Gender: Male
Age: 15 and a half
Birthday: 30 June
Occupation: Free Summoner, Scout, Ex-militia
Nationality: Indonesian
Family and Friends: A huge family of cousins in a far-off town, childhood friends named Arris and Trill (missing), and (currently) a receptionist friend he knew from childhood named Lin. Lives with a little girl named Korell and her older brother Bromwell, both of whom are unrelated to him.
APPEARANCE (CLOTHING)
(The following clothes are listed as separate articles.)
Casual:
(Hooded Jacket)
A self-repairing, waterproof, forest green, hooded silk jacket with long sleeves reaching past Fray wrists, and ends down at his thighs. There are brown leather pads sewn into the elbows. It has a black zipper, but it is unzipped most of the time. The hood has black pointy cat ears sewn onto it. This jacket is actually a few sizes bigger than him.
On the inside, there is a strap where Fray could tie a sheathed dagger or a small cylinder to and hide it. He could simply reach inside of his jacket and pull it out.
(Blue Shirt)
An orange short-sleeved T-shirt with grey rims.
(Black Trousers)
Baggy faded black trousers. There are two deep pockets on the hips.
(Brown Belt)
An ordinary belt with a steel buckle.
(Leather Shoes)
Brown leather padded shoes meant for long durability and sneaking.
(Satchel)
Very tough green dragonskin bag that can be strapped tight to Fray's back. Straps loop around his left shoulder and right hip, tightened with a silver buckle. Obviously has multiple pockets to accommodate many sizes of objects.
Formal:
(Green Suit)
A forest green business suit.
(Tie)
A long black tie.
(Shirt)
A white-collared dress shirt.
(Green Hair Ties)
His side-bangs are tied with green bands, moved away from his face. Other than that, he still maintains the same hairstyle.
Cold Weather:
The following goes along with the Casual outfit.
(Zipped Jacket) He uses the same jacket, but it is zipped up this time.
(Red Wool Scarf) This crimson scarf is wrapped around Fray's neck, and covers his mouth.
(Red Wool Gloves) But customized as knuckledusters, since there is steel covering the knuckles.
(Grey Boots) The warm grey boots replace the shoes, but are also padded. The top rims of the boots are lined with brown fur.
Hot Weather:
He still wears the Casual outfit, but...
(Hooded Jacket)
Only the jacket is taken off and tied around his waist, acting as a skirt.
(Black Cotton Shorts)
If he has time to use his wardrobe, he would wear black, kneecap-length drawstring shorts. Otherwise he will use his trousers.
Swimwear:
(Swimming Top) A skin-tight, short-sleeved, T-shaped swimming top.
(Swimming Shorts) Swimming shorts reaching his shins. Both are mainly ashen grey in color and have a little red on the sides.
(Hooded Jacket) He still wears his jacket over his swimwear when he does not swim. As a reminder, the jacket is waterproof, but it has significant weight.
Sleepwear:
Cotton, long, dark blue pajamas, one size too big for him.
Out of all the clothing Fray has, only the jacket repairs itself over time.
APPEARANCE (LOOKS)
General: Looks young to most people. His slightly pale skin is somewhat soft and rather unscarred. Most of the injuries he had in the past were mainly scratches and bruises (he is not a tank after all) and he had a healing factor to help.
Hair Color, Style and Length: A short mop of jet black hair, until it covers his nape and covers some of his ears. There is a straight long bang on either side of his face that frame it, reaching a little past his chin.
Eyes: Green irises and amber pupils. Alert, brimming with life but a little 'still'. The kind of eyes that scans most things.
Height: 5'2" (152.4cm)
Build: Slender and lanky. No noticeable muscles.
PERSONALITY
General:
Fray is a stoic, observant and slightly rude person, but he still shows several half-hearted expressions, and most people who know him very well could tell what he feels from the tone of his voice when he talks. Otherwise, he is calm and quiet.
Normally he tries to get along with everyone, but when he finds someone to be likeable, interesting or annoying, he takes note of them. Casually, he goes along with the flow of things (be it in a talk or a situation), although he can be rather apathetic.
He sees the world in a 'can't-have-the-good-without-the-bad' view, which applies to his reasoning of doing kind or harsh but necessary things. Even so, he treats everyone with a measure of care (even the bad guys).
The only times he does not act this way is when he teases someone just to see their reactions, which is 20% of the time. Sometimes he even smiles or smirks, but this is not treated as a 'true' happy emotion. 80% of the time, he acts as he usually is, and is very serious and blunt.
It is a surprise for most people to find him clumsy and a little forgetful though, which are a few funny aspects to him. Overall, he is a kuudere ditz that tolerates most people.
Traits: Kuudere, Tease, Blunt, Straight-faced, Provocative, Slight airhead, Clumsy, Curious, Understanding, Observant
Likes: Sweets, bread, baking, reading, drawing, curiosities, exploration, reactions
Dislikes: Bad joking, needles, suspicious liquids, onions, injustice
HISTORY
Biography:
As a single child of a male explorer and a female hunter in a forest village a few days' ride from Randall, he lived in a somewhat passive-aggressive life where the village was frequently assaulted by various passing brigands, raiders, thieves and even monsters and demons. Fray's parents and family of relatives moved into this village from Randall, where his oldest relatives and some villagers, cousins mostly, formed the Ranging Militia, a special army of sorts that defended the village and hunted down any threat. At that time, Fray was six months old in his mother's womb.
When he turned four, his parents both died getting caught in the crossfire of a battle between a pack of raiders and a neighboring village. Some close to him speculate this is when he became well and truly cold, but most already know him to be quiet ever since he was born.
Although some say he looked very saddened, he did not lie down and cry. He still continued to attend the village's school, interact with his family and friends and moved on, but he lived knowing that there is always a threat outside his home, things that he should eliminate one day.
(Erased history)
Fast-forward to months before recent events, Fray had received a request from Lin to work at Akras' Summoners' Hall as a scout for missions, due to his four-year-old ability to wield the Summoning Arts. Deciding this to be a good change from his life in the forests, he set out and moved to this new job.
Currently he lives in a house in the Village of the Venturer, sometimes hanging out with Lin or another person. While he is not doing his 'part-time job', he bakes confections (he does not consider himself a master) and sometimes helps out at the local bakeries in exchange for cookies. He also visits several places to meet with some people he befriended and to pick up on the latest news and gossip, like a tavern, a school and an orphanage.
Nowadays, as a Summoner who goes fast alone, and takes scouting missions, he rarely gets into a team. He certainly has not joined a Division though, despite the offers. But since he had experience being in one, it was not troubling for him to get into any when necessary.
GEAR
Weapons:
Kurō-no-tatsu (literally 'dark dragon' in Japanese - called 'Kunota' for short):
An obsidian black sabre with a average-length, straight, one-sided blade and a slightly thin base. Faint magma red cracks run through it. The crossguard is short and forms a slight V-shape with blunted ends and the pommel has a small steel counterweight, with a ruby gem in the middle. An elegant golden rune is engraved onto it. The hilt is wrapped in white leather, marked all over with graceful black runes that glow faintly when used. It is noticeably almost as flat as the blade, but allows one- or two-handed use.
The sword itself is completely made of lightweight materials from a Jirayen, Balmedia and other Fire-type demons, and otherworldly metals from Grand Gaia.
However, the longer-than-average hilt suggests it is not British or such. It is given a fitting Japanese name (by Trill, and a few others) even though it is not a katana.
Magical in nature, the sabre requires power from its wielder. As a result, it only has high attack power when powered with magic from Fray. The more he uses it however, the less mana he needs to put into the sword, and naturally the more easier and powerful it gets to use, to a point where it may not even need mana.
The sabre also acts as a medium for Fray's magic, where most Fire attacks come from it (like becoming hot enough to cut through metal like butter).
The sabre is always sheathed in a black leather sheath with a wooden chape, slung over his back, behind the satchel.
Carnwennan (which means 'white hilt' in the Welsh Arthurian legends - 'Carn' for short):
An orichalcum dagger which serves well as Fray's secondary stealth weapon, if he did not want to use up magic pulling out Kurō-no-tatsu.
Double-edged, straight, and pointed silver-white blade with coppery green streaks, with a one-handed hilt wrapped in leather. The base is less wider than Kunota's, but despite the difference in power and lack of magic, it compensates for its quick draw and speed.
Sometimes he dual-wields the sword and dagger to great effect. Ice magic is used to further compliment its power, since it has no specific element attached to it. Due to its high durability, it is possible for it to be permanently enchanted from Fray's magic over time.
The dagger is sheathed in a leather sheath held and strapped to the inside of Fray's usual jacket. It can also be removed and hung to somewhere on his belt.
Crossbow:
Other than these things, he has a small, dark green, metal crossbow from which he can quickly fire a single bolt at a time. It has a fast reload speed as well. When not in use, this is clipped to the belt.
Battle Gear: Casual outfit, but with armor: A mithril vest inside his zipped up jacket. Also has mithril greaves replacing his boots.
COMBAT
Combat Style:
Careful and quick. Uses a mixture of Spanish fencing (due to the straight, lightweight blade) and Japanese kenjutsu (for defensive postures) for Kunota.
If you imagine a statistics triangle between Attack, Defense and Speed, Fray would lean between Attack and Speed.
This applies to his dagger as well, except it has less reach, but a little more speed.
(When dual-wielding)
Fray can block even more attacks and create flurries of combos, but this form is used only when fighting groups of enemies. It relies on reflexes and speed to use it for maximum effect.
His crossbow is silent but has a short range, and cannot be used as a sniping weapon... yet. It is one-handed and can be fired on a quick draw.
Class Archetype: Scout
Strengths:
— As a trained fighter, he can wield many weapons, but prefers blades.
— He is good at stealth.
— He is a good shot with the crossbow.
— Strong legs help with his fast speed.
— Proficient in hand-to-hand combat, expert in choke holds since he knocks enemies unconscious on stealth missions.
— Uses Fire magic (offensive, mainly in the form of an improvised thruster, weapon augment, firebolts and explosive rune circles).
— Uses Ice magic (defensive, mainly in the form of icy bubble barriers, platforms and assassination knives).
— His weapons have elemental effects—Fire for Kurō-no-tatsu and Ice spells for Carnwennan, to compliment his attacks to become more widespread.
— Having been taught by Limera, his Fire magic prevents him from retaining critical injuries, that even his scars can heal given time. This is slow though (it takes hours to heal an injury, but it will take excessive damage to kill Fray).
Weaknesses:
— He cannot take too many hits, since he is more focused on speed.
— The crossbow can be easily noticed, and it would not matter if Fray shot quick at a skilled target, who would be expecting it.
— His magic pool can be used up instantly if he uses Ice magic too much. Fire is more easier, but even then his magical capacity is limited compared to other magicians.
— Kurō-no-tatsu drains mana over time, so Fray has around an hour before the sword powers down and leaves Fray without much magic to use. He could simply absorb magic in nature as a substitute power source. Fray is still improving his magical capacity for this.
— His healing factor is slow, and is not fit for battle.
— He can be overpowered by an elite and aggressive attacker.
— Occasionally, his clumsiness affects him in battle. Just not in assassinations (probably).
Abilities:
- Fire blasts and magical runes.
- Ice creations.
- Magical senses.
- Keen eye.
- Baking, and average cooking.
- Stealth and thievery.
- Understanding of most technologies and histories, including that of Units.
UNITS
List:
Leader: Limera (sometimes switches with Piany)
Teammates: Adel, Piany, Vernil and Galtier (he can only summon Galtier alone due to his still-growing magic, and mostly meant for search and destroy missions)
EXTRA
Notable Features:
- He has notably sharp incisors like a cat's.
- He sometimes teaches his friends and his Units how to bake. Not all of them were successes.
- He can cook averagely.
- He only ever 'truly' smiles when he is happy and content. The 'half' smiles he gives mostly come from teasing.
- He only frowns when upset, stares when disgusted or confused, and blushes when embarassed, but otherwise maintains a neutral expression no matter what.
- He does not have good upper body strength.
Quotes:
When introducing himself: "Well met. My name is Fray. Just one name, nothing else."
When contemplative: "Does it need to be sweet? Must it be more bitter? As long as it tastes really nice, I'm sure both tastes need not matter much."
When clumsy: "Ah! My bad!"
When teasing: "That was oddly adorable. Why don't you ever make that expression?"
When serious: "Quiet."
When disgusted: "Lech/Vulgar."
When confused: "...I have never seen that before."
When fighting: "What do you stand for?"
Living Conditions: Middle
Plots you would like to see for your character: Meeting with some people and friends at a bakery or an orphanage, or reuniting with Trill.
Yes, this is long, but I am sure all of you have your own ways of filling out the form.
