WARNING: Contain serious spoiler and foreshadow only read this if you like to discover or knew things before the others.
edit 18/11/2014: Sorry i forgot 2 things that would be nice to put before and that i cannot think a reason not to put
Hero of Shield the Tenth (summoned after the begin of waves)
Name: Iwatani Naofumi
Age: 20
Hair: Black
Eyes: Greens
Job: He is a manager that work directly under the president of the company that create AVALON that is Magen Company (kudos to the one that get this one but I think that is not that difficult). He also manager a region in AVALON (he is a 'little' mistake about this) one of the six regions. (yeah if someone ask why he was bookstore, well his boss is either the best boss in the world since he first 'job' was to the vacation and play AVALON a little, or the greatest slaved driver that the world have see even considering that he is not a jerk) (I am look at you J. Jonah Jameson)
Thanks to Magen Company and the 'chip' that the made is possible share basic knowledge and many other more advanced. Education have a revolution now is relative common to graduate ate the age of 15 and to have more the one degree before 23 (the level of difficulty is high that now). The hero and many other people in the 'original world' have more information that the rest and more that should be possible from keep in the memory (but again there is a reason for that no spoiler here for now). He also receive additional help to learn and have learn many things without know for example he should not be as good fighter as he is.
Education level: Graduate in Manager and medicine. 'Graduating'(he only get that from the chip) in engineer, math, physics, chemistry, geographer and architects.
Martial Arts: Krav magá, Aikido, Judo, Karate, Muay thaiy and others (he don't know how to use fire guns but know how to many melee ones for some reason ) many of these he didn't choose but knows. Side note he know how to use to fighter better in AVALON since there is a super-humans fight style I will but separate.
'Chip': Magen prototype military model 7 (yeah this is a double foreshadow believe me on this).allow to receive and give 'wireless' command to machine, receive very basic thoughts, sounds and images from especial machines or others model 7. Have a Much large memory, rise reflex, help to control pain, help a great control of body (examples rise metabolism, more adrenaline, slowing heart hits, and much more), help to receive additional information from senses (help more in AVALON) rise a lot the thought process and the intelligence. This 'chip' was 'give' to him after AVALON civil war and like 'chips' was a operation that only require one hour to put there and , mostly, to cheek that everything is ok (as you can see this story if not a foreshadow is a very bad writing, they tell him that is a brain surgery). Put and remove 'chips' are the faster and safer operation in medicine. From around the world none die from it even from heart attack or other complication (the medicine is helping here a lot more that today), nether need to much time to be release even in the first module. There is more than 4 billion people with chips, since they give a massive help in everything one want to do in his live (work, study and leisure)
Naofumi is not a enhanced human (physically) (the president of the company is very displease about that, he have everything a ready pay to make a 'Deus ex: Human revolution' like character. But the heal commit from his old and new job help he to keep he health even with the time wasted in AVALON (think for a moment in the end of sword art online) and what he eat (All people that play AVALON for some reason eat a lot more, god bless the new technology in farming) he have a 'miracle' fitness (his new boss will tonight hit his heat asking why, why he didn't make ,more, easy gym and make all his workers go to it, but no he need to obey at last a little 'you shall not enslave'). His boss is also very pissed that he didn't have the machine to put new information (the 'chip' need to put the information in the memory to be able to pass it, if is on the memory can be add in the moment with no side effect to the brain since it will work alongside with it (foreshadow ^^).
Information of AVALON
Name: Progress . AVALON have name him Merciless Progress in the final wave (war with the berserks) before rename him again Progress.
Surname: son of Rain from Susano clan
Class: Great Sage (before the civil war) (SageGreat SageStaff?Aspect?Nine?)
Age: 853 (yeah Naofumi is a little mistake about some personal information for some reason)
Level: There is none in AVALON
Power level: Great sage (before the civil war)
Mastered path: (in the moment of summon, if he is in AVALON)
(the level that he is in the moment is probably a lord level until he get a better 'feeling' of the world and certain episode occur, note in AVALON the system helps in the world of the shield there is not as much help to his side.)
First path: Staff
Second path: Staff near Aspect
Third path: Great Sage
Forth path: Great Sage
Fifth path: Great Sage
Sixth path: Great Sage
Seventh path: (lesser) Beast (his control)
Eighth path: Great Beast (his control)
Ninth path: the same as everybody else
Power level: great sage (before the civil war)
To reference A sage or a great lord have extreme aware and have extreme control of many forms of his element. For example Rain can fell all the drops of water in a rain and know what they are hitting (if is hot, cold, if it is all alive and how strong that is) he need to choose what he is seeking but his reach normally is as big as the reach of the rain (that he can control, move and make a lot bigger and last longer that what should be possible). A Great sage in the same domain can almost see the future reaching the domain of the greek gods (or similar). For example Progress is not focus in rains but in all form of water (and that is not his main domain) and he can sense all the drops of water to use his five sense at same time or use as a focus to sense the power in the area and everything in it, he also have greater control that his father but much, much, less power than a lord or a beast. In a side note he predict the quality of the soil, quality of underground water, more or less sense great number of metal in the soil and predict what will be the condition in the weather in the next seven years (if no one alter the weather). But he cannot move more than 100 kilograms of water with power alone (he can direct it and move more than that here I mean 'brute' force). A great sage of rain or a Staff of second path have full awareness in everything possible to collect with rain even they cannot do all in the same time (AVALON give them a bigger help). Staff of second path is god like to use everything that is water, ice and related to it. To give example full control of lightings (energy is the domain of first and more or less the fifth and sixth) can 'see' the some basic emotions in everything in his reach (He can 'see' and understand the chemistry, energy and, mostly, the blood flown) he can put some basic feeling using the chemistry in the body and head (The people in AVALON have as a maxima that is "You shall not enslave" that they follow to a ridiculous degree [for example if you are to be executed you can choose the method, if you are to marry you make you votes to the begin to the end and then the other person make his/hers]). Well is godlike awareness.
Fight styles: know all the main fight styles of AVALON (that means the original styles from the 'mains families') to the first to the seventh path (there is only one eighth) and many of the variations. Know and can use the Storm's fight style, Rain's fight style, lighting's fight style and the second path maiden (blood, electricity and thoughts) up to matriarch level (I explain the styles later). Note the are many suicide and/or dangerous techniques that would the body and risk death. Like most people in the 'main families' Naofumi know and can use most of it. To the point that before, the civil war, the expectative of lifespan of Naofumi would be 230 years if he 'die' from old age in the game (sages can easily life for at last one thousand of years no mater how they life their life's[unless they use the already mentioned techniques].
Basically is only to remember that they fight considering that they are super-humans, can use 'magic' and they now that they can heal from lot of shit. To give a example after enter the gate of AVALON (each path he gates to his ways) the people get a Core (foreshadow) that is in the same place that the heart (like neon genesis Evangelion) after this they don't get sick, have a advance healing, can 'grown' the member again and basically cannot die before the Core is destroyed, even if the head is remove they only become temporary or permanent berserks. The core have what they think is the soul thanks to that they will be able to restore the memories and thoughts after some time (if the head need to grown, if is only to reattach takes lesser time). They life more (The more power they have lesser is the grown of lifespan the great sages can even life less) and mostly of their death are from murder, since the core get 'corrupted' from excess of use (excess of power used) and imbalance of feelings (out of control).
Titles: The water trinity (Storm + Rain + Progress or Storm + Calm + Progress), He who walks (sages usually don't walk to use better their power), He Who Walks Forward, He who change the tide (together with his sister, brother and father) the sage of progress, and the circle of management (together with six other sages + Harmony[the beast of the eighth path] that manager the other regions). Berserks slayer (is grant to every no beast that was succed to kill a berserk) Sinner slayer (you kill a 'sinner' you get this one).
Final notes: well next is probably the stat of the hero plus what I can make in this week. Again thank all for read this story. If someone know how to enter in contact with baka-tsuki (of the team that make the tradition of rising of shield) can they put me in contact I want to make a little tribute putting the priest of the shield as with their names (not the real names obviously the names they use on the site) in some chapter ahead but this will be bigger that the shout-out then I really want ask first.
Well Omake time^^ (like I say AVALON is a mean place) side note before enter the gates the people in AVALON are enhanced with a AVALON at bird they can live for 120 years (without advanced medicine) and are at very least 1,2 stronger that 'normal' people and have other benefices they can also control to a lesser degree the power (mana) in AVALON
Omake:
Lion cub
Progress look to his baby bother playing with the sand on the playgroup. Looking to him bring a great happiness and pride to me. His brother like himself was born already control (awareness) the power of second path to a 'lesser degree' having the level of a weak lesser sage or a lesser lord and more than four times the normal amount of power that babies born with. Was like he was a six old children in power and a teenager in control, the fact the he also born with similar stats (more control lesser power) was a thing that was not in his head after all in the story of AVALON from billions of people only 10 were born with similar power 7 of them close to us, truly a gold age, the waves are giving a large pause. Only a area remains with the berserk of the past (the stronger due to age but the thought that they are the only remains give everyone peace of spirit), even know he grow faster, can use electricity, water, blood, some thought techniques and even black water (after our father allowed he use that cursed technique that I create my baby brother is truly a genius). I can sense his happiness and the way that he is using all his muscles and the better part is that he is aware that I am 'seeing' him with my sage's techniques… Then four teenager with anger in the manas (souls) and thought come to sandbox and kick his castle. I sense they from afar and none have enter the gates… for good reasons. They seem to piss with the 'main family' (why they insisted to call that I will never know, since we money don't existed anymore, and all out techniques are in the archive) for their own mistakes.
"Progress-sama, look to north a, kilometer ahead of us, in the playgrounds, where your Brother is" (author note: Only after enter the gates their names, but usually their 'birth names' are close to the names they will receive since is possible to deduce the 'true name' of someone)
"What the teenager?"
"… You know that and is doing nothing?"
" I hate say that, but the blood of Susano and the lord of the second region runs in our veins"
"He is a 5 years old"
I and my friend are discussing. When the bigger one of the four 'boys' take my bother with the t-shit and put in up in the air.
"That is it I will deal with it then I will tell your father what you are doin…. Wha-" I stop my friend controlling his mana and his blood
I smile to my fried and tell "You are a great person Calm river and you do AVALON a great service only be being yourself, but my family is a warrior family that is the only diference with us and the other peoples in the second path. As long we fight the people will continuous to have hope. But we are normal person like you or anybody else (his eyes show disbelieve) yes we are ,usually, very normal (author comment: no none of the main families is 'normal' none one bit) what differed us is the believe that as long we are here we will never loser to our 'dead'(berserks) the image of invincibility.
I remove the control of my fried.
"Then lest help your bother" I raise my hand I say (look there)
My bother have limited the movement of the four 'boys' with his power (Harding the liquid in joints make more difficult to move) and have dislocate the joint from both arms of the bigger 'boy' (making him faint a side note he make the liquid expand to help to dislocate the member and the angle… good job dad will love that detail) and make the second faint with a kick to the temple (He enhance his body to jump and reduced a little the flow of blood of the boy to the brain that comes from the neck my brother is not crazy[but I will talk about that later]) and is now hitting the solar plexus of the Third (and put electricity that probably hut).
"…" My friend is looking at me strangely
"Well who you think thrown the lion cup to the 'wolfs' my only surprise was the time their father takes to put them in the park. I believe they want to use this experience to give the 'boys' more experience and a lot more humbles"
"But that power is…"
"Yeah he trains a lot like everyone in the family until blood come out, and his power is great but is probably my love for him telling me that I know lots of people that could do that at that age include me"
"Bro that is not 'ordinary' "
"Well" my bother throw the last 'boy' in the flour and enhance himself to take with both hands together in the teenager and rise his arm to the sky.
"we are…" mana and electricity make a visible show at the spine of the boy while my bother yell "Bite…" (hum later I will show how to waste less power in the air… but good begin I am proud little one)
" ….mean sort of people…or…" the pillar of energy move to two direction with the finger of my bother that are in claw like form (or teeth) move to the head and back bone at same time that he closing the back of the 'boy' with his (well he is still small but I will need only to fix some detail in this part) "…Incredibly Painful…"
"…brutes or at last grandfather tell us that and his father before that, and again and again" with back to back together and the boy yelling but unable to move (Good job brother I can only 'see' minor movements in his muscles… we only need to rise your control of the spine to only seed pain signal and no movement signals, well later you will try that on me… yeah I know that I bigger and that don't work with a difference of size that bigger but is practice in some point spine commands need to be second thoughts to you, since some berserk can break it) a pillar of energy comes from each spine from the first to the back bones (brother why to use the 33 vertebras? Your back is not that big yet). The voice of the 'boy' yell of pain could be sense from here (The control that you are make to stop the boy from faint is great I cannot 'see' a mistake at you level) "…Of the dragon" the boy faint and my brother put him at the floor gentle and make a 90º bow to their fathers that have come close to see if their 'little angel' are ok, kudos to them for await until now and will probably make a sermon to the boy and my brother (he already knew that in the moment that he choice to fight and is ask me if I will go to… unfortunately not since I still need to 'see' the frontier in the case of berserks) he send a little sad 'smile' (the equivalent with mana) and go with the boys. A side note uncle 'Might' (from the four path)will be so proud of you I can see already he try make father allow him teach bother the "Truly incredible painful bite of the dragon" (or even try the greater version) I think my brother is not ready to breath fire much less the pure manifestation of main that the use in that variation of "the dragon kiss" well will be nice have uncle in our house, hell if is to brother have a first class first impression again I offer myself if father think that my baby brother is ready to see it (since he can understand techniques only watching them like the rest of the family).
"Well River lest continues of job, shall we?" say while smile to him.
"Yeah" "And that is the reason why you crazy people are the main family"
