Character history-
Note: Because Piastol’s history does leave a few things open, some of the things in this history will be based on assumption. Also, this history contains spoilers for Skies of Arcadia: Legends. Please to be reading at your own risk.

Piastol is the eldest daughter of the late Admiral Mendoza of Valua. Up until the time she was ten years of age, Piastol lived a fairly happy and comfortable life with her beloved family, consisting of her Father and her little sister, Maria. She was also familiar with two others that her father held dear and regarded as sons, a Doctor merely known as ‘Doc,’ and a young soldier in the Valuan army, Ramirez. But as with all stories of a comfortable family life in anime and video games, they have to come to an end at some point; this story is no different.

One night when Piastol was ten years old, she and her family had been aboard her father’s ship, the Aquila. That night, she had gone to sleep, never expecting that her life would change all in the span of a few hours. She awoke to the scent of smoke and the image of fire; the Aquila was ablaze. Piastol hurried out of bed, taking a throwing knife with her for protection, and began to look for her family amidst all of the insanity. While looking for them, she encountered two air pirates around her own age who were, in fact, unarmed.

What these two young pirates were trying to do was execute a rescue mission for the Aquila; upon seeing the ship in flames, the Blue Rogues aboard the ship known as the Albatross boarded the ship with the intent of helping those who were still aboard it and alive escape to safety. However, Piastol seeing the two young air pirates led her to believe that it was they who had attacked her father’s ship, and with that in mind, she threw her knife at one of them, a girl, with the intent to kill her. Her boy companion got in the way, and earned a pretty little scar on his face for his troubles. With that distraction, Piastol escaped to safety through the life boats.

Later on, Piastol read of her father’s death by a sword wound, and was further convinced that those air pirates aboard her father’s ship had been the one to do the deed. Furthermore, Maria had been labled among the missing from the attack on the ship, and assumed dead. With the knowledge of her family’s deaths and her grief over her losses, Piastol decided that she would exact revenge for her family by training herself for combat and killing every air pirate she came across, regardless of whether those air pirates were black pirates or blue rogues.

Over the next seven years, Piastol would make a name for herself among the air pirates as the “Angel of Death,” sending out “Black Spots” to air pirates who had gained large reputations for themselves and defeating them. It was seven years later that a young blue rogue known as Vyse started gaining a large reputation for himself; with Vyse’s rise in reputation also came Piastol’s growing interest in defeating him, and so she sent out a Black Spot to Vyse and his crew.

Vyse took her challenge, and Piastol boarded his ship alongside her pet, a Hellhound, and challenged him in person. She and her Hellhound battled against Vyse and his crew members, and Piastol met with defeat. It was as she was asking herself how she could have possibly lost to someone like him that she noticed the scar on Vyse’s cheek, and realized that the boy and one of the girls in his crew, Aika, were the very same two young pirates that she had encountered seven years prior aboard the Aquila. Of course, she didn’t tell them that. No, she only promised Vyse that she would challenge him again, and left. Piastol had decided that she would stop all of of her hunting of other air pirates, and focus on disposing of Vyse and his crew for good, as she still believed that the two had been responsible for the death of her family.

It didn’t take long for Piastol to recover from their last fight, and with that and some time to train herself further, she sent out another Black Spot to Vyse and his crew. They accepted her challenge once again, and she fought them once more, meeting with defeat for a second time. With this defeat, she reveals that it is because of Vyse that she became the “Angel of Death” to begin with, but did not tell him anything more than that, despite everybody generally going ‘wtf’ at this point and wanting to know what they did to deserve the utmost honor of being targeted by her. She retreated again, returning to training for her next encounter with Vyse.

At this point, Piastol was becoming pretty darn frustrated with herself for not being able to defeat her sworn enemy, and began to train herself even more so that she may defeat him. When she felt she was ready, she sent out another Black Spot, and she waited for him and his crew to answer the call. As expected, they had, and though they still wished to know why they were so special, they fought once more. After another defeat, Piastol finally told them her story, and told them what happened seven years prior. Vyse and Aika tried to insist to Piastol that what she thought wasn’t what really happened, but Piastol refused to believe it, instead continuing to believe what she had for the past seven years. She told Vyse that she would come for him one last time, and during that final battle, it would be all or nothing; kill, or be killed.

By the time Piastol sent out her final Black Spot to Vyse and his crew, she was ready to put everything on the table. As usual, they answered the call, and the battle went underway. As usual, it had also ended in Piastol’s defeat. After her final defeat, Piastol revealed that she had known before this battle that she could not win against Vyse, and also revealed that she really had believed him when he and Aika had told her that it wasn’t the fault of the Albatross Blue Rogues that she lost her family. But if it hadn’t been them who had killed her family, then who else could it be? Piastol had been distraught to know that her primary ambition for the past seven years had been a complete misunderstanding, and thought that she couldn’t possibly go on living with the knowledge that she didn’t actually know who had caused the death of her family all that time ago. She thought that death at the hands of Vyse would have been a fitting end to her reign as the Angel of Death.

Vyse and his crew had spared her, however, revealing that they knew where her missing little sister was, and telling her where to find Maria and Doc. As it would turn out, Vyse had been helping the two of them the entire time, gathering moonfish for Maria’s pet bird, Picollo, and had only recently just put two and two together to realize that Piastol’s little sister was still very much alive.

Faced with the news that her younger sister was still alive, and living with someone her father had also once held dear to him, Piastol’s immediate reaction was to threaten to kill Vyse if he was lying, to which Vyse reminded her that she had just told him that she believed him about everything else. Piastol was nervous about going to see Maria and Doc as the Angel of Death, and insisted that she couldn’t see them when she was like this. Before she retreated for a final time, however, Vyse looked back at Piastol and told her that the Angel of Death had never existed; she was, and always had been Maria’s older sister, and that Maria herself would even say so.

It took Piastol a little bit of time, but eventually, she gathered her wits and went to visit Doc and Maria. Piastol was still trying to change herself for the better, and didn’t want Maria to see her as the Angel of Death, especially while she still thought of herself as such. So, she didn’t reveal to Maria right away that she was the long lost sister that Doc had told her about. She talked with Maria a little bit, and asked her if she could come back every so often and talk with her, to which Maria replied enthusiastically.

From then on, Piastol worked on changing herself for the better, for the sake of herself and her little sister.

Of course, it was during this journey of self-re-realization that she was dragged into the digital world.

Character personality-
As the former ‘Angel of Death,’ Piastol was an icy cold murderer. She’s deadly serious, focused, and persistent. Very, very persistent. Hey, anybody hell bent on revenge would be persistent, and Piastol is definitely no different. Because Piastol is really only ever seen as a vengeful little thing, however, this is really the only side we see to her. She expects a lot of herself, and doesn’t have room for failure. Should she fail, she takes it fairly hard, and becomes frustrated with herself … but it doesn’t take long for her to get right back up and make herself better for her next endeavor.

Piastol isn’t generally shown as being especially attached to anyone or anything on a positive level (other than perhaps her Hellhound pet, Doc, and Maria, once she is made aware that the latter two are alive and well, and reuniting with them), but should she be attached, she is extremely overprotective and would give her all to protect them. She seems to be nervous when dealing with things that could invoke excess emotion on her part, and fairly awkward when having to actually deal with them. Due to her years upon years of only focusing on vengeance, Piastol’s social interaction skills in general have … well, dropped. A lot. So yes, she’s still prone to having a complete lack of tact, lashing out at things that don’t quite appeal to her, and in general, acting either very aloof, quiet, and on occasions, as a tsundere, or a prideful brat would.

The only people that Piastol is truly nice to are Doc and Maria. Everybody else can just go kindly screw off, as far as she’s concerned. Though by this point her levels of respect for Vyse and the crew of the Delphinus may have risen considerably, she will still threaten to kill them if she has any reason to believe any of them are lying to her about something.

Digimon personality-
Labramon is actually her pet Hellhound. As such, he’s very well-trained. He’s very quiet and overprotective of his master. In the past, he could even heal Piastol if she got too injured (or even if she had a lack of injury. he never can be too careful). Now that he’s in a digimon form, however, he has new ways of defending her and making sure she’s safe.

To Labramon, the number one priority is to make sure Piastol is safe. If Piastol is in danger for any reason whatsoever (even if she’s the one who made the situation dangerous), he runs to her side to defend, protect, and fight alongside her, caring little for his own welfare in lieu of hers. He doesn’t talk much, and, much like his master, is rather awkward with social interaction. Maybe this will get better as time goes on, but for the time being, he’s not very good at making friends, or even with at talking with others.

Character abilities-
On a basic note, Piastol is skilled in fighting, and fights using a Scythe.

Piastol has two attacks that are pretty darn powerful. Her most favored one is called Tempest Dance, which only targets one enemy at a time, and consists of striking with a combination of her feet and her scythe. If successful, it usually does a number on her enemy, if it doesn’t outright render them useless to fight.

Her second attack is called Deluge, which is used less often. For this, she can target more than one enemy, jumping into the air and throwing knives at them. It’s not quite as strong, nor does it have as big of a success rate as Tempest Dance does, but it does cause quite a bit of damage nonetheless.

As these two are her more powerful attacks, their strength will be limited to that of an Adult Level Digimon.

On another note, Piastol also is skilled in some magic, though she primarly uses the ‘Eterni’ series of Silver Magic. That series of magic will be completely unusable to her while in the digital world, as the aim of the ‘Eterni’ series is to one-hit KO, but she may be able to use other forms of magic, such as yellow (electric), purple (ice), green (healing/status effect), silver (cure and ressurection ONLY), red (fire/strength enhancement) and blue (wind/water/speed enhancement).

Sample RP-
The fact that she was no longer on her ship vexed her greatly. The fact that she was on the ground somewhere, and couldn’t see the open sky for miles vexed her even more. Piastol, quite frankly, had no idea where she was or how she got here, and this was a problem. A big one. Her ship was nowhere to be found, either …

And her Hellhound. Where was her Hellhound? Was he still on the ship?

Questions wouldn’t help her now, and she knew it. Piastol had to find out where she was, and how to get back to her ship, if it were even still in the air at this point. So with that motivation in mind, she trudged through the swampland, trees all around her and mud trapping her shoes every so often as she continued on her way.

It was only a half an hour later when a black and brown dog decided to join her at her side. At first, Piastol had merely glanced at it, deciding to keep it in her peripheral vision in the case that it wanted to attack. It didn’t seem that way, though. Not at first.

But then it spoke.

“Master, I don’t think we’re getting any closer.”

Piastol stopped, turned, and aimed her scythe at it. A talking dog? Was that even possible? No, it couldn’t be. She’d certainly never come across a talking dog before.

“What are you, and what do you want with me?” Piastol asked, a dead serious expression on her face. The dog didn’t budge. The dog didn’t even seem to be fazed by the point of her scythe being practically at its’ head.

“Your faithful companion, the Hellhound,” it said, but didn’t dare bow. He knew this routine. Piastol had done it with others before. Instead, he focused on staring into his master’s eyes with his own. Having woken up looking completely different than usual, he knew that his master must have been just as confused now as he had been himself.

Piastol’s lips pursed, but she didn’t move the scythe just yet.

“My companion didn’t talk before. In fact, you look nothing like him.”

“I was just as surprised as you are, Master,” he said, “But I assure you, I am who I say I am. I mean you no harm. I merely wish to continue to be beside you.”

Piastol lowered her scythe, still unsure of the dog, but more willing to believe he meant no harm now than she had before.

“And Master, I don’t think the ship is in this direction. I apologize, though. I don’t know where it would be.”

That was what convinced her that the dog was telling the truth. Piastol offered a sort of bitter smile, looking outward, in the direction she had been going.

“Don’t worry. We’ll find it.”

Sample journal entry-
I’m not sure who I’ll be able to talk to using this things, but to whoever it is, I only have two questions.

One, why is it that a dog who couldn’t talk before suddenly has an entirely different look and is able to do so?

And two. Where the hell is my ship?

If there are any answers at all either of the two questions I just asked, I would very much like to know.
