MASS TEXT; USERNAME: HAWKEYE

[In the end, she opts for the efficiency of a brief written message. (The message functionality of the jewelry still amazes her from time to time, but she's becoming increasingly fond of how fast it makes communication with others.)]

My name is Riza Hawkeye. I'm a military officer from the nation of Amestris. [Vague credentials, for anyone that really needs them.] There are a lot of us here gathered from different places and times, with different skills and areas of knowledge. I've spoken with a few others and we've agreed it would be beneficial for all of us to have a database of skills to pull from, both for this mission and otherwise.

[Most likely 'otherwise'; she can't be the only one suspicious of ALASTAIR after what happened in Anwick.]

If you're willing to provide a brief listing of the skills you possess, magical [because that's a thing that exists, apparently??] or otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated. If you're uncomfortable using the communications device I'm also happy to meet with you in person.

[And if you're not willing that's cool too. Everyone's got their secrets.]

I am a Slayer, a "demon" who slays demons. My eye of truth allows me to perceive the invisible. I can purify the impure and revive others from unconsciousness. My Mitama is with me, though I have not tested whether his skills remain intact. Channeling them I am able to heal myself, puncture a foe's armour, create a temporary field of invisibility and paralyse an enemy for a short period.

Reconnaissance and spying are honed skills of mine. I am an expert with shuriken, which I do not possess, and dual knives, which I do.

[Hayatori also too OP.

Most of that she understands to a degree, but:]

Mitama?

[tenkofan]

[He's also an exceptional assassin, but good luck getting him to use those skills.]

The soul of a hero who was devoured by an oni, but due to their greatness, retained their consciousness.

Slaying an oni frees the souls it consumed. Mitama allow Slayers to channel a portion of the strength they had in life in order to aid us in our fight against the oni.

[strictdiscipline]

I see. Your talents are quite considerable. You must have spent a long time honing them.

[tenkofan]

Since birth.

[Technically, that's not precise, but it gets the right implication across: he was born into a role at his former hidden ninja village, which he merely fulfilled until the day came when he did not. There's a good reason he identifies as a Slayer, and not a shinobi.]

It is far more admirable to choose to dedicate your life to defending others.

[strictdiscipline]

Is that not a path you've chosen for yourself?

[She's not exactly well-phrased in ninja culture.]

[tenkofan]

[Well, yes, but... he should not be compared to someone like Captain Yamato. If anything, the Slayers and their duty rescued him.]

That is the purpose of the Slayers.

What was your role?

[strictdiscipline]

[Slayers....how hardcore.]

I served as the one of the subordinate officers to a colonel in the Central branch of the military. My primary duties were whatever tasks he assigned me, though direct orders from the higher-ups superseded his commands
