Thread: The Library - OOC

    Name: Daniel West
    Appearance: Daniel stands at about 187 cm tall has blue eyes, brown hair is 20 years old and weighs around 170 lbs, usually Daniel can be found wearing full studded leather body armor and a cloak to match the environment.
    Bio: Daniel is born, raised and will hopefully die in the Hub. In all honesty he prefers to not talk about his past not because he has anything to hide but simply that there’s nothing worth noting about it when you have so many other more interesting individuals to listen to. For those that continue to insist upon asking he tells them of how he was born to a middle class family, had one sister, and lived a completely boring life. Of course one with a spirit couldn’t stay like this for long, upon the discovery of his spirit he bid his family goodbye and set out to join the librarians. Figuring that since it was required that all spirit users join them he might as well save everyone the hassle and join himself, plus get a generous salary bonus for voluntarily joining the Library. It’s been nearly three years since then and he can honestly say that this may be the best decision of his entire life.
    Branch: Mercenary

    Holder: Knight
    Spirit: Daniel’s spirit often refers to itself by the one syllable name of Am. Am very closely resembles the form of a Golem and changes what exactly his spirit form appears to be made of at whim. Am expresses a personality similar to Daniel with the exception of his arrogance, his belief of his own superiority and his lack of fear, in his defense though he does show a strong sense of loyalty to Daniel and his allies, and what exactly can you expect of someone who could walk through a wall of arrows unscathed to think about a human. He’s possessed of a keen intelligence which is often underestimated on account of his brute strength, body, and expectations of how a large hulking elemental monster would fight. It’s not surprising but Am portrays a near total lack of emotions and movements through his face, choosing instead to convey his general mood through what element comprises his spirit form or if he finds himself in a more physical form elaborating with hand motions to try and convey his mood past his lack of facial features.

    Weapons/Spells:
    • Elemental Body: Am call’s selected parts of his surrounding’s to him forming an elemental body in the shape of a humanoid for him to use. Due to the limited nature of this ability Am is only capable of using it once per mission.
    • Bodily Ammo: Am uses his elemental body as a source of ammunition sending it rocketing away from him piece by piece. These pieces can vary in size from small slivers to an entire limb, to even a detonation of his entire body.
    • Elemental Rune of gaanaylir: Am focuses a portion of his powers into a rune that is then inscribed into a small object like a door, the rune act's as an explosive catalyst to the object it's applied to. It can be activated either by direct contact or by a thought by Am.

    Name: Orian Brenton
    Bio: At the age of seven he was abandoned at a mountain village, far from civilization, his memories before that are lost, but he is sure it was something special. As far as he can remember he has always had what others would call an imaginary friend, one he would call a beautiful gold and red bird as big as he was. Growing up he found that he was relied upon by many of the villagers, who would often ask him to help out with various tasks. More than happy to help he lived his life peacefully until members of the Library came.

    They offered explanations as well as proof that his bird companion was more than a figment. When they offer him a position he gladly accepted, with the goal in mind of making the world a better place. At first he didn’t want to be a mercenary, not being a big fan of conflict in the least. He found a position in Political Relations, trying to get everyone to get along on a grander scale. On occasion he would have to go into the field to handle negotiations and such; this often led him into battles that he had no choice but to kill. Now, at the age of 25, he operates for both, taking the stance that his presence may stop a battle before it starts.

    Branch: Political Relations
    Holder: Rook
    Spirit: A Phoenix, a mythical firebird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet. Near the end of its life it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. She goes by only Phoenix, as there is only ever one at a time. Normally a gentle and proud creature bringing light to those that live in darkness, only striking when threatened.

    Weapons/Spells:
    • Phoenix Wings: Two medium sized swords that attach together at the pommel. The blades themselves burn so hot that each inflicted wound is instantly cauterized.
    • Phoenix Armor: Phoenixes are known for being exotically beautiful creatures. Vibrant plumage covers the armor, increasing the defensiveness and creating a scorching aura as battle ensues. It also provided excellent fire resistance.
    • Phoenix Egg: An egg shaped object that shines with a bright light the moment it is activated. Once the effect disappears the egg vanished and reappears in the possession of the user.

    Three profiles? Oh my @.@

    I'll get to this more in-depth later, so keep in mind that this isn't all my feedback, but here's a few quick things that stand out:

    @shade13, I like the body-spell, that's a perfect excuse to have multiple forms! I just wanna make sure that you can't store bodies; ie having been in a volcano once doesn't mean you get to use a magma-body everywhere. The weapon-variant of this spell has to be more specified; pick one weapon.

    @Zveda Unless it is nothing but a decoration, the sword has to take up a weapon slot. NVM, I thought you were a knight for some reason.

    I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to drop out of this RP. It's nothing against you GMs, it's simply that I'm sure I won't have enough time, and a RP with this much effort put into it shouldn't be neglected by me. Honestly, great RP and great idea, it's just that if I do decide to join, I'd end up neglecting it from time to time and would cause people trouble. I hope you understand. Although, there is a chance that I may join later in the RP, if allowed. I'll ask when that time comes.


    Edit: I will want to join this roleplay eventually, just to make that clear.

    I haz finally finished ma CS! (its on page one) Decided on a pawn My spirit weapon/skills is blank because well, Aven doesn't have a spirit yet so it makes no sense to have unique skills...does it? Anywaay I'd like to save my skill points for the moment, unless its compulsory to add them straight away then I'll probably add provoke.

    Btw, I am a guy.

    Appearance: He stands at six foot two, well built and tanned. Short black haired nestled atop his head. He'd grim brows over fierce pair of brown eyes and a strong but arrogant jawline with a nasty cut under his clean shaven chin.
    Ramza's attire was simply a pair of stolen leathered armor pants, stolen pair of leathered boots and a piece of ragged cloak he'd found so long ago. Myriads of small scars scattered about his body. On his back however, was an ugly scar deliberately made to be permanent and looking like a tribal tattoo of an inverted feathered wings.

    Bio: Born as an orphan but disregarded and abused by his foster parents, Ramza fled the house at the age of seven. He grew up as a thief and slept on the balconies of stranger's homes or in the sewers of the Hub. Breaking into people's home was one of his hobbies and he'll steal anything in exchange for food. He even named himself after a deceased noble man who he'd stolen from once.
    Each year, Ramza became bolder and more daring. Running away from authority and doing crazy stunts had rewarded him with a tough physique. But one day, he was caught by a drunkard man who happened to be a retired executioner. The insane man carved a tribal wing on his back as punishment but he knew it was merely an excuse for the sadistic man to torture him, to laugh at him as he struggled under the knife. The fool were too drunk that he couldn't tell the right side up of the boy hence why the scar tattoo was inverted.
    When Ramza was fully recovered after months of suffering, he returned to see the executioner and ended up killing the man in his sleep using the same knife that was used to carve over his body. But he discovered that the drive which made him do so was not one of his own. It was as if it was the work of somebody else, or something else rather. All he felt was the hatred burning up within him, the hunger for revenge and the lust for the man's blood. Panicked, he dumped the weapon in the sewers and went into hiding. Well, he had been doing just that for most of his life, only this time round, he kept a low profile.
    Soon, Ramza came to hear about the Library and it's Holders. Curiosity led him to learn more about it and he decided to sneak himself in and get himself employed.

    Aven has brown hair, with a fringe that goes down as far as his eyes, and onyx eyes. He has slightly tan skin and stands at 5'9. Despite his slightly thin build, Aven is rather muscular although they don't really bulge out. His outfit is the same most of the time, a plain gray t-shirt,black jeans and white sneakers.

    Bio: Aven was only age 14 when he first encountered holders, an event that led to his recruitment. His town as well as the orphanage he had resided in was razed to the ground due to battle between holders. The Library had sent a team to hunt down a renegade holder hiding out in Aven's town. The renegade had resisted and a fierce battle ensued. Aven had caught glimpses of the fight before being swept away to safety by a holder but instead of moving to the next town liek the rest, he had remained in the outskirts of town, diving back into the hellhole once the the renegade was put down. When he finally came across a holder, he demanded to be one of them. He was rejected, due to the fact he lacked natural mana. However, his determination apparently got through after he adamantly stalked after them for two days before finally collapsing. Three years have elapsed since Aven was recruited by the Library and had artificial mana injected into him, he is now ranked as a pawn in the Mercenary branch.

    Bio: Daughter to a noble family located within the Hub. One of her ancestors was the Administrator of a now-disintegrated organization similar to today's Library, which she now works for. The organization did much the same as the Library; mercenary work, intelligence gathering... but ultimately failed with the onset of the Library once it appeared and began to gain influence. Ir was dissolved and the family fell into debt and depression. After two generations, their fortune was regained through rather shady economic means and their name was restored. Steren is the second daughter of the still-alive Orien Novaya who runs a bank.

    It was through the ancestral involvement in the opposing Library-like organization that Steren and her blood-kin possess innate Holder qualities. Save for one individual in the past, all of the Novaya-family has potential for using Holder skills efficiently, with Steren being deemed the most likely to develop them the furthest. Though the Library still presents an age-old grudge for the Novaya family, Steren was hired for her obvious skills in the Bishop Holder arts. Some rumor that the idea of revenge may still linger in her heart, but she has yet to show any such emotions.

    Branch: Administration - Mercenary

    Holder: Bishop
    Spirit: Sif, a giant wolf covered in a grayed coat of white standing over ten feet tall at shoulder height. Sif wields a sword of similar proportions in its mouth, colored a lightning blue and emanating with a light-effect that makes the sword seem as if it were slowed in time. Sif speaks telepathically with Steren, never needing to open its mouth, and has a deep but noble tone to her. Sif is extremely protective, despite lacking any ability to interact with anyone in the world but Steren.

    Spells:
    • Argus Halos Summons a ring of magic with many pointed outcroppings. The conjuration can be sent flying in any visible direction, but its speed, power, and manueverability (as it is travelling, it can be slightly angled or directed to account for the targets possible movement) are all dependent on the level of SP.
    • Argus Murus Casts a wall of light in a specific direction about four feet in width and five feet in height.
    • Argus Deus Autem A strong magical attack that develops elongated blades of magic around a ring encircling Steren. The blades take the form a rapier with several thin halos encircling their bases. The blades themselves can swivel around their dismbodied attatchement to the circle, allowing them to point vertically, horizontally, and anywhere inbetween. Their reach is constant around the magic circle surrounding her body.

    As you already know, I approve of one of the abilities. And on the weaponary, I wouldn't be opposed to each golem form having a different weapon(Earth - Hammer, Water - Trident, etc., etc), but if Kestrel wants you to only have one weapon type. Just pick one that works well with each type.

    Alright. Lyzan and Zveda; I saw your characters have ties to noble families. In this world taking pride in being of nobility means about as much as carrying around a plastic bag of poo; your nose might be held high but everyone can see your reason to do so is full of shit and will walk a circle around you.

    Nobility exists but it doesn't have any meaning. Just take note of that. It is just a title that's been passed down, the holder is just as likely as everyone else to be a part of regional politics as he/she is to do manual labour against minimum wage.

    Other than that, Lyzan's character looks fine to me. Just give me some clarification on how you want the name-take over to work out and we should be cool.

    Zvezda, however... Is a more complicated case. While I fully encourage people being creative and filling in parts of the world, determining an integral history element like that all by yourself goes a little overboard, don't you think? I appreciate the enthusiasm, I really do, but the world building is a team-effort, as the people on the credits-list can attest to. For this reason, I'd like you to change your history.

    Animus, looks good to me. You're in.

    Shade13, yeah, I'm going to insist on the one-weapon-type thing. Otherwise it would be too versatile. Other than that, looks all good.

    Gamerdude369, a flash-grenade egg, eh? Not bad. Welcome aboard.
