HISTORY
Penny was born sixteen years ago to a single woman who lived in a house far too extravagant and far too run down at the same time. The child of a washed up starlet who now lived her days swimming in a bottle, Penny was raised in a large, empty, home in a neighborhood that use to be the ritz. These days, it was just another victim of a failing infrastructure and economic crisis. Her mother was still living off her wealth from her youth and thus while Penny never had to worry about money, every night was a roll of the dice of being subjected to her mother's drunken rage. The only escape Penny had from a lonely, emotional and sometimes physically abusive, home life was a child were going down the block to watch the other kids in the neighborhood play. Eventually, a certain young boy who lived next door began to approach her as she sat on the curb watching them.
Zack Richards was Penny's first and truest friend. Her earliest memories involve either an angry, belligerent mother or Zack's smiling face. Sure, he would pull on her hair or dare her to do dangerous- silly- things, but every time, even after a fight, the two of them would laugh. Penny had been so desperate for friends, she had done every risky thing Zack dared her to do. This often led to trouble, but Penny didnt mind. Even if her mother berated her and locked her in her room as punishments, Penny would always be able to see Zack the next day. Even as their circle of friends grew, Zack remained Penny's closest friend.
However, when they begun to attend school, a split occurred. Sure, they were put in the same class, but at the school the natural division between boys and girls began to form. Penny, still desperate for acceptance, found herself swept up in the flow of the social ladder. She had inherited her mothers good looks, and her mother kept her in the latest style out of pride. Penny was destined for the popular crowd even in elementary school.
This went on for several years. Eventually, during their fifth grade year, something odd began to happen. While brushing her teeth for school, Penny noticed a coin purse latch on the side of her face. This began Penny's life was a weapon. She couldnt get the coin purse latch to go away, so she hid it under a bandage. Over the next week or so, the coin purse latch would vanish and reappear- and thus the bandage moved with it. Finally, her classmates noticed and started asking questions. Penny, having realized she was one of those weapons they always saw on the news being given praise, proudly told them she was developing powers. The next few days, Penny was surrounded by more classmates than usual.
Unfortunately, when Penny displayed her power, the smiles turned into jeers. All she could do was store a pencil in her coin purse latch and pull it out. Weren't weapons suppose to be cool? Weren't they suppose to be able to save people? Penny seemed lame compared to other weapons, and her classmates made sure she was aware of that. Were weapons really that great if such a lame weapon like Penny could exist? Her popularity was suddenly over as she became the butt of all jokes. The only person to stand next to Penny was Zack. Eventually the jeering turned into bullying. Zack began to get into fights on Penny's behalf. He would then get suspended, leaving Penny alone to deal with the class. Eventually, Penny stopped going to school when Zack wasn't there. They would spend their time hiding out in either one's home, testing Penny's abilities. It was through this that they realized Zack had the capacity to become a meister- Penny's meister.
As they got into middle school, the bullying grew more intense and Zack continued to react explosively to it. Penny would always back Zack's reactions, thus continuing the vicious cycle. Finally, during a free study period in sixth grade, things exploded out of control. Zack's anger got the better of him, and he beat a classmate into the classroom rug- bloodied and all. In a panic, one of the classmates slammed a textbook into Penny's head as she tried to pull Zack off the classmate- thinking she was going to help hit the student. This triggered something disastrous.
Zack and Penny's Soul Resonance sparked into life. However, it was incomplete and chaotic due to their young age. It tore the classroom in half, caused massive destruction across the school and gave life threatening injuries to several of their classmates and their teacher. At that point, the two were expelled. Their mothers had no choice but to enroll them into Shibusen at the age of thirteen in an attempt to get their powers under control.
During the next three years at Shibusen, the duo had to learn to control their Resonance out of pure necessity. Their close friendship and childhood lead to them becoming a dangerously powerful duo right off the bat. Penny and Zack complimented each other in ways others didn't. They each pushed the other to their absolute best, and the two of them were desperate to make Shibusen work. They finally felt like they had found somewhere they belong. While Zack pushed himself to master his physical abilities, Penny focused on her mental abilities- working hard to refine herself as a weapon.
A tag team competition in one of Zack's combat classes in Year Two made Penny painfully aware that he was able to resonate with another weapon besides herself. A fear began to grow within Penny that Zack would leave her once he found something better. This triggered Penny to become slightly more clingy to him and to work harder to improve herself. As the year passed by and her never even glanced at another weapon, Penny's fears lessened, but it still rests in the back of her mind. Since that day, Penny has done her best to become the ideal weapon for Zack and to be supportive of him no matter what.
Through their hard work, Zack and Penny became class one students, but they're considered the weakest of their class. Their unusual circumstances and drive would have been inspirational for younger students, but their constant clowning nature and reckless tendencies tend to make others believe they cheated their way into Class One. Some of their classmates truly despise them for bringing down the property values of being a Class One Student.
ABILITIES
Penny has had a Meister partner officially for the last three years named Zack Richards. Due to her own lacking nature as a weapon, she's had to constantly play catch up with Zack as he exceeds her in almost every way physically. Penny understands that she's a difficult weapon to partner with, and she does her best to make herself less of a bother for him despite her odd weapon form and physically weak body.
COIN PURSE Penny's weapon form is most likely the least threatening one at the academy. She transforms into a small pink coin purse in the shape of a bunny. The coin purse can only be opened by a meister or Penny herself during partial transformations. It's been noticed that once it snaps shut, it has enough force to cut a steel blade in half.
PARTIAL ZIP; intermediate Penny can create coin purse latches on her body to open. She can store or pull things out of it. The size is limited however to her body part. Thus, she can only pull out or store smaller hand held items. Finally, she can open the coin purse latches mentally and does not need to open them physically.
DUNGEON RESONANCE; master
When resonating, the entrance to Penny's coin purse form opens up to swallow everyone within default twenty foot radius. If things are especially emotional and dramatic, the size can increase at great physical cost to Penny- tearing up her coin purse form and most likely putting her in the hospital. When the resonance activates, the coin purse essentially swallows itself. While her normal signature move focuses on the consumption and release of inanimate objects, this one only consumes sentient beings within range.
Those caught up in the resonance find themselves in a special “Dungeon Space” that reflects the real world in a pink hued light. Battles can go all out and destroy buildings within this space without effecting the real world at all. Meanwhile, pink orbs float throughout the terrain that contain every item Penny has ever “swallowed.” While in this world, her Meister and Penny can release things from these pink orbs instantly through thought should they be within eye sight of the orb, giving them an edge compared to their normal combat method.
The main weaknesses of this resonance are that every time it's used, the “Dungeon Space,” creates one randomized rule of conduct. These rules can range from simple things such as “You cannot say a certain word” to extreme ones such as “Meisters cannot be within ten feet of their weapons.” However, no one is exempt from these rules- including Penny and her Meister. The second weakness is that within this form, Penny has a physical form that is limited to her real life physical attributes. Furthermore, she cannot activate her weapon form as they are already within it. As such, she can be attacked or attack others. This complicates things as the world can be shattered by knocking out Penny or her meister. Finally, if she over exerted herself in opening the dungeon space up, Penny will be heavily injured within it.
CUTIE POUCH; master
Penny's signature move as a weapon, the pouch of her coin purse can open to larger than life sizes to suck in and blow out things from her own personal 'katana space.' The coin purse can be opened to simply place or remove items, or for more dramatic battles, it can suck in or spit out items. When sucking in items, she produces a strong wind force. While weaker civilians may be sucked in at times, most people with the most basic of training can withstand the wind force. When spitting out items, a similar wind force is created but blowing away from the coin purse opening. This can be used to launch things swallowed or to release people from within.
Penny is unable to use this ability alone and must have a meister open and close her latch. Whenever something is sucked in, it must be given a 'label'. If something is swallowed without a label, there's a chance it could be lost forever. When something is sucked in, it goes into a library of sorts that Penny has to keep track of. In order to move effectively and smoothly, she must be able to communicate efficiently with her meister to pull out the things he needs. If an item is not labeled, it gets lost in the vast library and must be manually searched for. Things that are swallowed keep their inertia and remain in the exact same state they were in when they were swallowed.
Should a person enter the katana space, they'll find themselves in a large pink abyss with small glowing pink orbs around them. The person will find themselves not needing to eat or sleep as their time is 'paused' inside of the katana space. Penny can be seen within the katana space constantly rushing out to either pick up and organize things or throw them out for her meister. Luckily, whenever the coin purse is opened a portal to the outside world appears and the person can just hop out. Penny cannot stop them as she can only touch the pink floating orbs, but they cannot touch her as she has the ability to float high above their heads in this world. Whenever an item that is not a living person enters the katana space it transforms into a pink orb until released outside once more.
Finally, Penny can 'taste' everything that she swallows up as a coin purse. As such, certain things can cause issues for her. For one, if something taste extremely bad, like garbage or certain chemicals, it can make her vomit up several items out of her katana space unintentionally. Furthermore, the larger the item she swallows, the longer it takes for her to convert it into a pink orb and unconvert it. So, while she could theoretically swallow something as large as a three story building, it would be a very slow swallow and a very slow release, probably taking around three minutes for each action.
CAMOUFLAGE; intermediate Penny can change the colors of herself, her clothing and her general area. The color changing generally spreads out from the bits of dye in her hair. When camouflaged, she can hide her own wavelength and that of one other person if she is in physical contact with them. However, once she or the other person exert themselves or use an offensive or defensive ability, their wavelengths become visible.
MARTIAL ARTIST; intermediate Penny, despite being physically weak, has done her best to fine tune her body. Due to her fragile nature, Penny has had to rely on learning martial arts that focus on speed and weapon usage- making her somewhat of an expert in dodging and weapon usage. However, her top goal when fighting is to avoid damage rather than deal it- making it difficult for her to deal a lot of damage through martial arts alone. While Zack is more fine tuned to taking down people with his physical strength, Penny is more tuned to dodging and attacking at critical points as she can be taken down with one or two well placed hits easily.
