Holly Rosaria/Kitty
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
When Holly woke up that morning, she was given a message from the village elder, informing her that they're running out of food and she's needed to go hunt for more. The message would go on to say that she should bring back as much as she can, due to winter soon arriving, when food would be far more scare due to gardens freezing over. Though, her village often wouldn't get much from the gardens, due to Crusaders destroying what little they have.
She would go about her morning routine, before setting off into the woods to hunt. As she travels through her village, towards the woods, she would be reminded of what a sorry state their village is forced to live in, the various housing being thatch-roofed domiciles constructed from unbaked brick, and even those that they did have weren't nearly enough. People often died from disease, or were taken away by the Crusaders, by order of the Inquisition, often for no reason at all The huts they were forced to live in were usually incomplete, due to the Inquisition's Crusaders coming to destroy what little they had in terms of housing, forcing them to rebuild it all anew.
As Holly travels through the woods, however, she soon feels a strange force, tugging her deeper into the woods. As if a ghostly hand had reached into her body, and began gently pulling her heart beyond the trees, and to the river. It felt as though destiny was calling, and she couldn't bring herself to say no.
When Holly arrives at the river, a place that was heavily polluted by the Inquisition, the fish slowly dying and the water having become an odd yellow color, she discovers an object which looks like a crimson disk, sticking out of a rock. The object glowed with a red light, which seemed to draw her towards it.
Upon touching the disk, the typical modified potato sack that all villagers tended to wear would immediately be replaced with a hooded white dress, black stockings, gray shoes, and a veil with a rose on it. Additionally, she felt overwhelming power coursing through her body. With this overwhelming power came the knowledge that she must now rule, as it was her destiny. Immediately after her transformation, information began filling her mind at a dizzying rate, Holly suddenly became acutely aware of numerous facts that were previously unknown, it felt as though everything she once knew was replaced with an encyclopedia of the unknown.

Priscilla Commons/Misc
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
After Priscilla had gone through her morning routine, she suddenly got the worst headache she had ever felt, before the pain left her just as suddenly as it had started. The instant the pain was gone, she could feel a tugging on her heart... or deeper, a tugging on her soul. This tugging was not just a longing, but a powerful force that made her feel as though she MUST make her way out into the nearby woods, as if her destiny had suddenly begun and could not be stopped by any physical force one could conceive of.
The force brought Priscilla out of her thatch-roofed domicile made from unbaked brick, out under a sky that was black and gray whether it was day or night, which never showed the sun or stars, though the elders would tell people that it once did, and down the dusty road, which had not been made with gravel or paving of any kind, such an undertaking required resources that the inquisition did not allow them to have, all resources used by the village had to be found in the area, and even then, it was very frequently confiscated by the Crusaders.
The force brought Priscilla off the dirt path and away from the mud huts, away from the village and into woods. Walking through the lines of shriveled gray, mostly dead and dying husks that the villagers called trees, and through the dry, brown, brittle growths that the villagers called grass, Priscilla eventually came upon a Violet Disk, sticking out of a rock, in the middle of a clearing. Around the disk, the grass was green, lilacs grew from the ground, and the trees were thick, leaves actually growing from the branches, something that was an anomaly, even to the village elders.
The disk radiated a purple light, and seemed to call directly to Priscilla, and nobody else. Gazing upon the disk, Priscilla could see visions of her leading a great and powerful nation reflected upon the surface. She could see better life for herself and what would be her people. She could hear the disk calling to her and telling her that her destiny started here, the empty life she had been living up to this moment was a past life, her true life is that of a Goddess.
Reaching out and touching the Disk, she would be bathed in a purple light as her modified potato sack that she had been wearing, just like any other villager, was replaced with white, gray, and violet dress with a violet ribbon, a pair fishnet stockings, and black shoes. Her body was flooded with overwhelming power that she had never felt before. Her mind was suddenly flooded with immense knowledge that she could never have fathomed before, as if her mind had suddenly become an index of infinite hidden facts that no one human could have ever known.

Daphne Strauss/Blue
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Daphne was in the midst of returning from a bit of mercenary work, walking along the dirt road, beneath the sky which was always gray and black regardless of the day or night, past rows of shriveled and dying things which passed as trees and grass, the yellow liquid with dying fish in it, which passed as water, and the numerous thatch-roofed domiciles constructed from unbaked brick that passed as houses and buildings, when suddenly she felt a tugging in her soul, and her mind began to scream. The scream within her mind caused immense pain, but it carried a message which informed Daphne that her true destiny was about to begin, the scream itself sounding as though it was Daphne telling this to herself.
The tugging would bring Daphne directly towards the water that she was passing, and directly through it, into the disgusting water until she had sunk to the bottom, and back out of it onto the bank, then into the woods beyond, where the brittle weeds which she walked through snapped on contact. The trek through the withered woods would take her through a dense black fog, which made it difficult to breath, and into a large clearing.
In this clearing, the fog surrounded the area, but would not enter, the grass was green and alive, and the trees were full and actually grew leaves. In the center was a large boulder, with an azure disk jutting out of the top, emitting a blue light which called out to Daphne. Gazing into the surface of the disk, Daphne could see visions reflected, visions of a nation which she ruled, worshipping her immense and unparalleled power. The Disk called out to her through the visions, it sounded as if Daphne were telling herself that this is her real destiny, and that the life she had been leading up to now wasn't even a tiny fraction of what she was truly capable of, screaming at her to become her true self, which she was always meant to be.
When she reaches out and touches the disk, she would be bathed in a blue light, her modified potato sack that served as her clothing being replaced with an orange and black jumpsuit with a black top beneath, black straps around her thighs, neck, and wrists, as well as fingerless gloves. Her body was overflowing with limitless power, and her mind was immediately filled with seemingly endless knowledge, knowledge of things which no human could have ever known, as if it was given a hidden index of the secrets of the universe.

Beli Odyss/Blah
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
The final base for The Defiance was a large thatch-roofed domicile, made from unbaked brick, in the middle of a dense wood. Much like every other area, the trees here were shriveled up gray husks, and the grass was similarly shriveled and brittle. Running through the middle of the base was a yellow river full of dead fish, much like every other river Beli had ever known. The remaining members were sitting around a large rock, in a back room, discussing what they can expect from the Inquisition's Crusaders next, how they had just finished mopping up the only other base just an hour ago, how the Crusaders would likely be on their way here the next day.
This is, of course, when the silver battering ram of a Crusader Squad busted down a wall in the next room, with a loud crash. As the sounds of wood-armored The Defiance members screamed out their last breaths as they died, the members around the boulder gasped and began to panic, they were most certainly not prepared for an assault this early, and their plans, scraped out into mud on a wooden frame was immediately forgotten, as the Crusaders broke into the room, blades in hand. The Crusaders were clad in their typical armor, a light blue cloth, dangling from the front of their armor, the rest of their body covered from head to toe in silver plate, with glowing blue markings on the chest, arms, and feet, and one in the shape of a cross in the front of their helmet. They were wielding swords of the same metal, with rings build into their cross guards.
The Crusaders didn't offer them a chance for surrender, and they were far from intimidated by the out-gunned and out-manned The Defiance, Beli was forced to watch as each member fought bravely, only to die at the hands of a Crusader. Not a single Crusader was lost that day, all The Defiance had in terms of armaments was stone weaponry.
One of the Crusaders found Beli in the corner of the room, and as he began to approach, she heard a strange noise calling out to her from behind her, through the wall. She couldn't repeat what it was saying, but she understood it all the same, it told her that now was not the time for her to die, only for her previous life to end. The Crusader grabbed her by the through, and rather than run her through as he had with the previous members of The Defiance, the Crusader instead was oddly compelled to slam her through the wall behind her, crushing it to bits along with several of her bones.
The attack sent her tumbling across the ground, until she slammed into a boulder. While she was dazed and confused, as well as barely capable of basic movements, she was compelled to turn her body to face the boulder she had struck, despite the Crusaders beginning to make their way out of the former base, and towards her grievously wounded body. What she saw behind her, sticking out from the boulder, was a Jet Black disk, emitting a light that was blacker than the darkest night. The light compelled her to reach out for it, and reflected on the surface of the disk were visions of her leading a great nation, of people worshipping her, calling her Goddess. Upon touching the Disk, she was bathed in a black light, her bits of wood armor and potato sack clothing were replaced with a pair of black jean shorts and a white hoodie, her body was not only suddenly healed, but she could feel overwhelming power flowing through her body. Her mind was immediately filled with vast knowledge, including what felt like the secrets of a universe that nobody could have even begun to understand.
Upon turning to face the approaching Crusaders, she saw that they were retreating, one of them yelling at the others that they were told nothing of a CPU.
Upon returning to the structure she had been thrown out of, she would find Ralph on the floor, slowly bleeding out from the wounds sustained from the Crusader attack, not only with his guts spilling out of his body, but with a stab wound through the left side of his chest.
