We go twenty-four seven till we're six feet deep

Head in the clouds but our heart's concrete

Burn the whole thing down while they got cold feet

Yeah, they can try to copy but they can't compete

Nueva Halcyon University has produced some of the finest Shields of the modern era. Unfortunately, it also produced you six.

On paper, there shouldn’t be a problem. You and your five closest friends are among NHU’s most promising students: exceptional grades, frightening combat aptitude, powerful Awakenings, and an irritating habit of performing spectacularly whenever an actual emergency occurs.

Off paper? There is a reason campus security recognizes all of you on sight.

Amber Green is a razor-tongued British aristocrat with the ability to become a fucking dinosaur, the posture of a sleep-paralysis demon, and a Gila monster named Kevin that she keeps attempting to smuggle onto campus.

Jade Green, her younger sister, dresses like Y2K never ended, treats gambling as a recreational activity and poor financial decisions as a competitive sport, and possesses a spatial anomaly capable of deleting matter from existence.

Melonie Brock is a five-foot-three tabletop nerd who can barely order food without getting nervous, yet somehow commands entire armies of solid violet mana constructs. She will insist that breaking into a restricted building is wrong while actively constructing the ladder.

Emma Sterling would like everyone to know that she doesn’t care. She doesn’t care so much, in fact, that she continues showing up to every single group outing. Her shadow-controlling Awakening manifests two enormous oni, which are considerably more expressive than she is.

And then there’s Alcides Nehakar, a six-foot-two walking weapons violation who can turn practically anything he touches into an enchanted weapon. He cooks. He cleans. He likes sea slugs. He once weaponized a frying pan.
