This is the longstanding kingdom of Aaester, the strongest superpower to currently exist in the land of Daerai. It was only thanks to the first emperor, Oroboronuko, that Aaester became the strongest military power, lasting for thousands upon thousands of years thanks to his mighty deeds. At its founding, Aaester had nearly limitless recourse, and held some of the best minds that the world could ever dream of producing, with Lord Oroboronuko having absolute authority and ruling with a just and noble hand.

However, with time comes change. Generations after Oroboronuko's death, a young boy was designated as emperor of Aaester after the death of his father... but due to his young age and lack of experience, an elected noble was appointed his adviser. It would be this adviser, who is now known as the Prime Minister, who corrupted the government and is now using the young emperor as nothing more than a political doll to satisfy his selfish desires. With the government being manipulated and corrupted by an unworthy man, the innocent were struck with poverty and many of the rich began to prey upon the weak with the kingdom's laws slowly fading. Despite the chaos and unruly laws, Aaester itself is a rather enormous country. Its capital having multiple and nearly countless districts that are separated by large canals that many merchant ships run through daily with both slaves and goods.

[i]At the very outermost regions of Aaester are where farmers, villagers, and most of the country folk can be found... though, their lives are slowly being influenced by the ever increasing corruption that is occurring at the very core of Aaester and its capital. It would seem that fate has decided that all the lands of Daerai will fall under a corrupt ruler...
...although, perhaps fate isn't as merciless as we had all thought?[/i]

Before the great and kind Lord Oroboronuko passed away, he feared that one day the kingdom of Aaester would either fall, or become corrupt... and thus, in order to preserve the kingdom that was a symbol of peace and hope, he created special items with his brightest men that were made out of the most famous and dangerous of materials in order to counter this; weapons capable of performing impossible feats. These great weapons were labeled “Tengu”. These weapons are incredibly powerful, and have changed the tides of war for the kingdom of Aaester many times over throughout history... unfortunately, over half of them were lost, while many more were claimed by the now corrupt kingdom of Aaester.

With a Tengu, one would be more than capable of defeating an army... robbing a city in a single night, plundering hundreds... defending the people against horde after horde of creatures... anything your heart desires may be possible with the power of a Tengu.

Though... the question is... what would you do with the power of a Tengu? Would you defend the people in order to become a hero, even if it meant fighting against the armies of Aaester? Would you strive to serve the Aaester and rule over the weak like a tyrant? Perhaps you're aiming to become the next Emperor and make the kingdom of Aaester all yours? What exactly would you do with such outstanding powers...?

How will your actions shape the future of Aaester, and all of Daerai?

Okay, so this is perhaps the longest wall of text that I've written in my entire life X_X

This is a RP idea (minus my Fate RP idea) I've had in mind for quite a while, and with the new Akame Ga Kill anime airing (MY FAVORITE MANGA TO ANIME ADAPTION AS OF YET!), I decided to create this because I wanted to! Anyway, hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Aaester!

This RP is a essentially a Survival/Elimination/Free-roam one, where you will be taking control of a character who comes from the land of Daerai and who wields one of the powerful tools called “Tengu”, and where almost anything can happen. There will be a central main plot to the RP, however, consider it more of an optional thing, where you don't necessarily have to pursue it but can instead do things to your own ends. Even though there is indeed a main plot, the main point of this RP is to have fun, have character development, and most importantly... to survive in Daerai with your fellow players!

However! Before we continue on, allow me to define and explain a couple of things that you may like to know before actually creating your character!

---

Tengu: The Tengu, the most powerful weapons to ever exist within the Lands of Daerai. Each Tengu is unique, in that they must be compatible with the user in order for them to actually work, and thus it it is impossible for a Tengu to be stolen or used by anyone besides their user; however, it is possible for two people who have the same traits and personality to use the same Tengu, and for a Tengu to be passed down from a Tengu user to another person they have to be compatible with it or risk harm to themselves. Each Tengu also only has one unique ability, though, they are capable of having one or more hidden abilities just as long as it is similar to the original ability (i.e. Original ability is manipulating liquid/water, and the hidden ability is manipulating blood. Original ability is being capable of adapting to the situation, and as a hidden ability it can turn the user invisible when stealth is needed, or create a spear/sword in order to fight better). The more powerful the abilities of a Tengu is, the more taxing it will be on the user. The type of Tengu varies, but the most common type of Tengu are Armor Types, Weaponry Types, Utility/Support Types, Biological Types, and Manipulation Types. (If you're unsure where your Tengu may fit into the five, just PM me and I'll figure it out... unless it's something completely different from the five categories, then a new category may be created. No promises though, so don't expect anything).

Armor Type Tengu: This type of Tengu is self explanatory; they are a defense that are capable of giving the user powerful defensive and/or offensive special abilities. These Tengu initially have the appearance of a weapon, however, once their 'name' is invoked along with a special stance, they cover the user and immediately cover them in their unique armor. Sometimes these Tengu come with a hidden weapon in order to give them offensive powers.

Weaponry Type Tengu: This type of Tengu is also self-explanatory; they are weapons which focus more on killing enemies and defeating them. This type of Tengu doesn't require their names to be invoked, and thus their abilities are passive... however, they look different from common weapons, and it is possible for one to figure out that they are a Tengu just by looking at it if one is bright enough.

Utility/Support Type Tengu: These Tengu are... different, and are a bit complex. These type of Tengu do not take the form of a weapon, but instead take the form of either an accessory or an item. Experienced users of these kind of Tengu don't require their names to be called out or invoked, but new users will need to invoke the name of the Tengu in order to utilize it. Tengu of this type are capable of indirectly assisting one to cause death, such as being able to perform precise movements of the hands, create perfect disguises for the user that is nearly impossible to see through, or heightening one's senses to resemble an animal's. These are perhaps the most versatile among Tengu in terms of usefulness.

Biological Type Tengu: Tengu of this type are very unique and interesting. Biological Tengu are not weapons or item... but are instead actual living beings. These living beings are usually named simple names, or named after a legendary/mythological/heroic thing or person, and in the case of the latter usually have a single ability unique to them that is similar to their legend. These Tengu have extremely high-regeneration and physical stats, almost like a powerful familiar of sorts. Nonetheless, Tengu of this caliber only have one specific hidden ability, but their physical abilities usually more than make up for this fact. The appearance of Biological Type Tengu can range from a simple puppy to a bipedal and humanoid dragon, to even a normal looking human or a normal looking human with animal-features. Once a Biological Tengu's wielder has been killed, the Tengu will immediately fall into a coma-like state, and will only awaken once another person who is compatible with them is in the immediate area. Once the Biological Tengu awakens, they will be completely under the new wielder's control, despite their personal feelings.

Manipulation Type Tengu: The Manipulation Type Tengu are the rarest of all the Tengus, but are also the most powerful... but as a consequence are also the most difficult to control and are thus the most taxing to use. They allow absolute control and manipulation over any one type of an element (fire, water, earth, ice, wind, air, metal, lava, wood, etc. you know what I mean). These Tengu are often the most feared, and as a consequence, only a very select few outside of the Aaester Kingdom have access to them. Most Tengu of this type takes the form of a small accessory or trinket, however... there has been cases of Tengu of this type being converted into a type of consumption material, and where the Tengu user has literally become the Tengu by ingesting the consumption material. (I’m hesitant with allowing this one right off the get go, considering how broken and overpowered these can get, I’m highly doubting that I’ll be allowing players to have control over one of these things when they first start, and instead these will be found among the military personal and will have to instead be won/earned from them.)

Calamity Beasts: These are very powerful creatures that inhabit the realm of Daerai, and can be found almost anywhere. These creatures can range from the simplest of animals, to the most fantasy-like and complex creatures of myth to ever exist... along with some unusual or never before seen creatures. The type of Calamity Beast is classified by a set of ranks, which are: E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, S-Rank, and Omegas. The Omegas are the strongest of all Crisis Fiends, and there are only a very select few of them in each region of Daerai. Omega Class Calamity Beasts are more than capable of facing Tengu Users head on, and are more than capable of defeating a Tengu User... perhaps the reason for this is because most of the Tengu are in fact made out of Omega Class Calamity Beasts themselves.

The Tribes of Daerai: There are many different tribes that inhabit the lands of Daerai who are at war with Aaester. The most notable of the tribes are The Sturdy Steamers of the South, a tribe of dwarf-like humanoids who have technology that is similar to steam-punk; the Everlasting Earthmates of the East, a tribe of many mixed animal-like, yet someone humanoids who work in harmony with the land, the seas, the mountains, and the forest, but can also be found as pirates and outlaws; the Wyvern Berserkers of the West, a group of mighty warriors who excel in mounted combat along with having also access to flying mounts; and the Noble Northern Nides, who are known as the strongest living tribe that has access to a few Tengu, along with having tamed Omega Class Calamity Beasts.

The National Revolutionaries of Daerai (NRD): The NRD are a large resistance group that is attempting to ignite a full-fledged war against the Aaester Kingdom, and to slay the Prime Minister and liberate the people from his rule. They are currently in the midst of recruiting Tengu users, along with strengthening their numbers while stealing Tengu from the Aaester Kingdom and killing their users.

Steel Hearts: A branch within the NRK that resides in an unknown location near the capital of Aaester, and is composed of only Tengu users. They perform most of the NRD's assassinations and hidden business, along with working as hired mercenaries for anyone who is against the Aaester Kingdom. Out of the whole NRK, the Steel Hearts are the most feared branch, due to how successful they have been.

The Aaester's Military: The Military branch of the Aaester Kingdom is incredibly powerful, with their technology rivaling those of modern times, minus all the vehicles, and their numbers high in the millions. They are feared for being ruthless, merciless, and blood-thirsty in every single war that they have waged. The Military branch contains many naval and land fleets, each led by their own general... with the generals all being Tengu users.

The Jaegers: A hidden branch of the Aaester Military that is composed solely of the strongest of the military’s Tengu users, and are meant to hunt down and kill other Tengu users to collect and add them to their arsenal. Not much is known about this branch except that they have never failed in hunting their designated marks.

Slavery: Slavery plays a huge role of the Aaester Kingdom's economy, with hundreds upon hundreds of slaves from different races and nations being brought into the capital daily. It is not uncommon for one to see a merchant ship filled with slaves wearing little to no clothes in order to show all of their build in order to attract buyers. Some common uses of the slaves are as exotic pets, perverted urges, exquisite meals, and even breeding to produce money by selling their offspring.

Nobles: The Nobles of Aaester are... ruthless. By ruthless, I mean to the point that they can be sadistic by performing things unimaginable. Although, despite this, there are indeed a few nice ones out there who try to save slaves and help the common folk, but they don’t last long due to the Prime Minister’s watchful eye. Most of them, sadly, are either too corrupted or drunk with the power that they have been handed, and are thus slowly causing more and more complications to the people of Aaester.

I know it is a lot to read through, but trust me, you'll want to know these things. Either way, those are the main information that you'll need to know if you want to have a good idea of the kind of world that Daerai is. I’ll probably add to the list as the need arises by filling it out with more and more information as time passes.

If there is anything else that you may wish to know, then feel free to toss me any questions that you may have, and I will be more than happy to answer them!

Oh, and just throwing this out there, players are allowed a maximum of TWO characters at any given time. If you have two characters, and if you really, and I mean REALLY want another one, then you're going to have to kill off one of your current characters, or see if someone else will be willing to take over for them. Complications start to arise once a player has more than two characters, and I'd like to avoid those complications as much as possible. Sorry if that’s a bit of an inconvenience >_<

Anyway, here is the character sheet!

Name: What does your character go by?

Age: Just how long have you been surviving in Daerai?

Gender: Are you male, female… or something else?

Appearance/Description: What do you look like?

Personality: How does your character act?

Goals/Motive: What drives your character forward? What makes you continue to live on... to continue surviving in Daerai? What reasons do you have to continue fighting despite what the odds may or may not have against you?

Bio/History: Tell me all that you can about your history. Were you from a village that was raided by savages? Did your family get gunned down by the Aaester Kingdom right in front of you? Were you once a noble that had everything stolen from them and had to live the life of a peasant? What exactly is your story? If you’d prefer to keep it a secret, then PM it to me and reveal it in the RP!

Tengu:

Name: What is the name of your Tengu?

Creation: How was your specific Tengu created? What made it what it is? Was it created from an Omega class Crisis Fiend? Was it created from the lives of a thousand humans or beasts? Was it made by strong powerful magic? How exactly did the First Emperor of Aaester forge it?

Type: Which of the five classes does your Tengu fall under?

Required Compatibility: What specific traits does your Tengu require for you and future users to operate it?

Appearance: What does your Tengu look like?

Main Ability: What special unique ability does your Tengu have?

Hidden Ability: What is its secret technique/ability? (You can definitely keep this hidden, but you must PM me the hidden ability so I can have a record of it.

How did your character obtain their Tengu? Must I repeat this exact question?

Equipment/Assets: Besides your Tengu, what else do you have with you on your personnel? What kind of sources do you have at your disposal?

---

And there we go!

If you've read through all of that and made it here, then congratulations! You're capable of surviving in Daerai! Again, this RP is more focused on survival and how you are going to work with your fellow players. Will you be working with your fellow players in order to achieve your character's goals... or will you be playing against them, trying to take them down in order to achieve more power for your character? Will you be good, or evil? Will you side with the NRD, or with the Aaester Kingdom? Or will you perhaps form your own guild with your fellow players?

Oh… and one more thing...

–Cue evil voice mode-

...this is your first warning.

Anything can and may happen in the RP, however, standard Role-playing rules still apply. If you're going to do something that you're unsure about, then you better have talked it over with me, and the players that it involves. If a player is attempting to kill another player, and both players agree to it, then it can happen. If a player is attempting to kill another player without permission, then I will do something about it. However, if the player themselves have gotten themselves into that situation, and if they knew the dangers of said situation, then I will NOT save them; we are trying to keep this remotely realistic after all. Furthermore, if you deliberately avoid interaction with others and go off and do things on your own, then I cannot promise you safety. Again, anything can happen in the world of Daerai, and working in numbers is key for survival.

(If it looks copy and pasted, that's because it probably is. I do this a lot, so GET USED TO IT! >:L)

If you break any of these rules, the general roleplaying rules, or if I receive numerous complaints about you or your character in the RP from a majority of the other players, then I will discuss them with you and try to resolve the issue. However, if you continue to do so after I've given you a warning, then do not be surprised if you're suddenly faced with consequences.

-Voice ends-

*Ahem!* That's it for now! :D

Again, if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or are interested in this, then please by all means feel free to throw them my way! While I maaay come off a bit harsh and serious, I’m actually really friendly! I don’t bite… much! ^_^’’

Both applications are acceptedmundo~!

Ezekiel 'Zeke' Vilgore
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?"

---

Name: Ezekiel Vilgore

Age: Mid-twenties

Gender: Male

Appearance/Description: From first glance, Ezekiel is evidently from one of the most southernmost tribes, his skin and dark with silver blonde hair and near-reflective goldenrod eyes. His gaze is an intense one, and not in a pleasant sense - this child tries his best to scour the ones he looks at, seeking in them some sort of answer to a question only he knows. He dresses in garbs indicative of some role within the church.

Personality: Ezekiel is...off. There's something that's very hard to place about the boy, a certain lack of responsiveness at times hinting at something being wrong with him - being a moment later than everyone else at laughing at some form of joke, not smiling at a joyous occassion, an overly tight grip in handshakes, small things you don't really notice individually...

Well, other than that he appears to be a near model citizen and holy-man. He can recite the Word off his head, provide sermons on the spot and be a spiritually encouraging individual. He never really takes the initiative in conversation, but the same could be said about him in almost everything, he's usually pushed into doing it. Not that he cannot make small talk, he's rather adept at that despite his hesitance.

Goals/Motive: Ezekiel's stock answer is 'to serve God, the Church and people in all things', but he does not believe that. He likes to think he does, but it's completely hollow. Hollow, that's a good word for Ezekiel. Nothing he does feels like it's worth the effort. His goal is disturbingly non-existent, he simply exists and does thing which are appropriate at that moment. He follows his orders to the letter, but never doing anything more. He kills, but feels nothing...but he does question. Maybe these questions will be the seed that will grow to drive Ezekiel.

Bio/History: Before Ezekiel was born into the world, missionaries from Aaester ventured far south beyond what most maps covered into a dry and unrelenting region of the world, seeking to spread the Faith. Finally, not long after the birth of Ezekiel, they came into contact with the only nomadic tribe in the region which had learned to thrive in the harsh desert - the Sharur.

What allowed this tribe to survive was a mixture of raw hardiness, ingenuity and Etlu-Nasu. Etlu-Nasu is a unique martial art, in that it was developed to hunt and kill the Calamity Beasts which roam desert. The Sharur lacked religion, for the most part, but not spirituality. Upon the (cautious) introduction to the Faith a majority of the Sharur seemed to find answers in the Church dogma, the most accomplished hunter, who sired Ezekiel, being among them.

Ezekiel never saw his father as a toddler, separated by the miles of land between the Desert and Aaester. He grew up in an a culture divided between the traditional spiritualism of old and the Faith brought to the Sharur by the missionaries. In the end, all it served to do was alienate him from his fellow tribesmen. He cared little for either approach and instead immersed himself in learning how to hunt with Etlu-Nasu. On what would have been his tenth year Ezekiel's father returned to the Sharur as a Cardinal Priest, if only briefly, to meet his son. Ezekiel's father tried to regale him with tales of the wondrous capital city, and of his life in the Church. None of it interested Ezekiel in the slightest, just like everything else. In the end, he was taken by his father to Aaester.

What followed next...well, that's not allowed to be discussed to much of an extent, but let it be known that under his fathers watch Ezekiel was inducted into a less than savoury sect of the Church. The rest, as they say, is history.

Equipment/Assets: Funds, two bedroom apartment, some contacts in government, Church backing.

Name: Julian August

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance/Description:

Personality: Julian is someone who is constantly forced to wear masks in order to suit his situation. In the courts he will be polite ,courteous and submissive, on the streets he will be impassive, hardening his heart from the cries of the populace. When dealing with the The National Revolutionaries of Daerai, he will put on the personality of a firm but fair merchant who truly wishes to be able to work out a deal and be willing to compromise. When he's with Cloe in any casual situation, she will bring out his blubbering, embarrassed younger brother side who constantly endures light hearted teasing from his older sister figure.

Which of these could be said to be his personality? The submissive noble under the Emperor and Prime Minister? The steel faced man who rides through cries of torment hearing nothing? The secret revolutionary who uses his powerful position to support change within the Empire from right under the Prime Minister's nose? The worried, stressed and near paranoid young man who needs to turn to his sister figure for comfort? Why not all of them? Ultimately, Julian is a noble who believes in "the greater good", willing to overlook lesser evils to keep up progress for a greater good. To that end, he will pretend to be whatever he must until change is made. By then, the masks will be off and he will let the people judge for themselves his actions.

Goals/Motive: To incite change within the Empire and to unite those who wish for it under one banner.

Bio/History: Sir Julian August. Born to noble families who were also the owners of a meat brand that was famous for its extremely tender and high quality "mystery meat", he seemed to become another corrupt noble just like his parents, who had raised him to be the successor to the family fortune and business. "Mystery meat", they would say, "look how gullible they are. So long as we say something that sounds remotely like a promise, they'll eat anything. Illiterate pigs". Of course, it didn't take a genius for someone within the system who knew of the corruption to know that "Mystery meat" was in fact human flesh. Julian's father always liked deep fried fingers as light snacks. Their highest quality were "Mystery calf meat", created from the bodies of children no older than than the age of 10.

Julian regarded what happened next as a sign he was extremely, extremely lucky. When he himself turned ten, on his birthday his family decided that the time was ripe for Julian to make his first "hunt", so to speak. As such, he was driven out of the mansion and told to bring back "one of them stupid village hicks", offer him or her lodging as a kind noble and then kill the illiterate pig for a new stock of mystery meat. Julian did exactly as he was told - extremely nervous and worried - but he did so.

To this day, he theorized that had it not been Cloe and instead someone else, he would most likely have become just as corrupt and deserving of death at the hands of the Steel Hearts as his parents were. Bringing a very older yet very innocent looking Cloe to the mansion, the ten year old Julian waited for her to sleep before his father handed him an knife and told him to make the kill. Julian, his hands shaking - something his father scolded him for - entered the room to kill Cloe. To his surprise, Cloe had been expecting him but boldly pronounced that "she knew he would not kill her". trembling, Julian finally dropped the knife and decided he was sick of his entire family.

What followed next was a deception that started from feeding his family cooked meat that he tricked them into believing were Cloe's and lasted five entire years, with his entire life become one big lie to his parents who believed their son was just as corrupt and bloodthirsty as he was. They believed him turned; to be just like them. Little did they know he was plotting their downfall. Through these five years, using nothing but sheer wit and deception he had managed to hide Cloe inside the mansion, and the two had developed quite a big sister-younger brother relationship. On Julian's fifteenth birthday, five years after Cloe first set foot inside the mansion Julian gave Cloe very specific instructions for a task outside the mansion. When she returned from her task, Julian was packed for a night of partying in town and calmly rode out the front gates of his family mansion to attend the birthday party of some other noble girl, not even minding the fact it was his own, and Cloe simply giggled at Julian's sheer initiative from the driver's seat of the carriage. When Julian returned later than the time he had told his parents, he calmly walked into a crime scene - another Steel Hearts murderer. Apparently, the rebel assassin group had been hired by someone earlier that very day to "kill everyone who was inside the August mansion that night". Now who could that possibly be?

After the utterly tragic deaths of his parents, the prime minister announced that the heartbroken and grieving Sir Julian August must take the position as the head of the family, a position Julian took with a completely stoic face. A few months after he took the reigns, he sold the entire meat business - including the mystery meat - to another corrupt noble before arranging for another "savage murder of an upstanding noble at the hands of the barbaric Steel Hearts", and this time allowed the ensuing investigation to reveal to the peasants just what they were eating. With that, he had finally managed to rid the market of the "mystery meat" his family had started. Turning his sights onto larger matters, Julian then began to play a dangerous multi masked game, pretending to be an obedient, content noble who even sponsors the Jaegers financially while also at the same time financing the rebellion.

XXXXX

Name: Divine Armoury Encyclopedia "Alexandria" (She calls herself "Cloe" as in "EncyCLOpedia" for short)

Creation: The Divine Armoury Encyclopedia was created as a Tengu to keep track of all the Tengus in existence. As a result, she is compiled of the ashes of the records of the Tengu, the blood of all the men who created a Tengu and a single gem that serves as her core.

Type: Biological

Required Compatibility: Unpolished potential - Cloe seeks to pair with people with great potential, but only if that potential is in danger of being squandered away without her guidance. The potential for Julian to shake off the corruption of his parents was what allowed him to be compatible with her.

Appearance:

Main Ability: Encyclopedius Imperialus: Cloe knows every single Tengu/Imperial arm in existence and can instantly identify and name them and recite their strengths, weaknesses, abilities and forging method by fuzzy description unless there is an overlap.

Secondary Ability: Instant Transmission: Cloe is able to immediately return to Julius' side to protect him from any and all sudden threats at the snap of a finger (figuratively speaking; snapping fingers is not actually required) with the use of a teleportation spell that uses the bond between Tengu and user.

Hidden Ability: Imperialus Eripuit (Imperial Librarian): Cloe is able to detect the approximate distance of a Tengu from up to three kilometres away. At two kilometres she will be able to identify the Tengu and at one kilometers she will be able to detect direction, distance and identity in absolute precision.

How did your character obtain their Tengu?: She basically lay in a coma on the streets of the empire for a very, very long time in a very dark alleyway, believed to be some sort of dead peasant girl or even a ghost or a spirit. She stayed that way, dressed in torn rags and a blank, dead expression until Julian, on his first and last hunt, came near her, activating her and allowing her to slowly make her way to him and allow him to bring her back to his mansion.

Personality: As a tengu, Cloe acts and masquerades as a normal human, often acting as Julian's (embarrassing) elder sister. However, she is also surprisingly well versed about matters other than tengu as well, drawing on centuries of knowledge and experience to give Julian advice on a variety of matters - when she's not too busy drooling over neapolitan ice cream, something which will get at the first opportunity, much to the pain of even the nobleman Julian's wallet.

Equipment/Assets:

Nobility: Julian August is a noble, and as such has a large amount of wealth and property, as well as a position in the Imperial Government.

Contacts: Cloe acts as a mysterious job provider for the Steel Hearts. She is the one who deals and negotiates with the Rebellion on Julian's behalf.

Julian and Cloe have a ruse going on: To disguise Cloe's identity as a Tengu, Julian took two rare but still non-tengu items, made a lot of alterations and created two "fake tengus" in order to make the enemy believe they are a pair of tengu users instead of Tengu and user.

"Fake" Tengu "Beastly Howl Zangrist": An ominous dagger created from the fang of an omega class beast, this dagger has the dangerous ability to render the victim insane with pain if they are struck by it.

(Really, all he did was take a shark teeth, model it a bit and add slow working, painful poison to the edge.)

"Fake" Tengu "Retaliating Shield Neapolitan: An umbrella Teigu which forms an unpenetrable shield, the teigu is able to fire wild, unpredictable wide shots that can blast away any opponent that gets close.

(It's a shotgun built into a steel frame parasol. The defensive part is actually made by Cloe using her strength as a bionic tengu to spin the umbrella so the steel frames would spin and stop any attack, but because her arm is concealed by the parasol they won't know that. It's basically an umbrella using Chuunibyou's dream weapon)

@Julian: Accepted.

@Ezekiel: I should have mentioned this to Tatsua about not being an adult thing as well but... allow me to say that it's just somewhat concerning to me considering that they're going to be in a world vastly similar to Akame Ga Kiru considering how graphic and how quickly things can be and how anything can go. I want things to go smoothly and I don't anyone to get uncomfortable. Other than that, I don't see anything wrong. Although, if you could show your hidden abilities, that would be great, unless there's a specific reason why they can't be shown, then PM me and let me know.

@BabyCakes: Same thing with Ezekiel, but this, and no pun intended, is literally taking the cake. She's 12. She's literally still a child. Sure, in the Manga kids have gotten things worse than death... but I would really, REALLY like to avoid seeing that hear. In a normal RP, I would immediately say no, since I would find an app like this to honestly be silly, but considering this is Akame Ga Kiru, and something like this could very well indeed happen, I'm very much tempted to say yes... so, I'm somewhat on the border of things here. Since it doesn't break any rules, and even though I'm still hesitant here and there... I will say that they are indeed accepted, but this is a one time thing and we have enough children heroes as is. Also, the First Emperor created all the Tengus, if you could fix it so that Mr. Chi Chi was created in a different manner than the way you have him now that would be great!

Just thought I'd say, Tristan is supposed to be extraordinarily young. I in no way anticipated there being any other characters in the roleplay close to his age, let alone younger than him.

Oh right, I should put this here.

Name: Ayaka Shibito

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance/Description:

Personality: Labels placed upon things, declared as absolute truths, can only be met with the realization of their ultimate incorrectness. The first such label is "insanity." Abnormal mentality which causes a deviation from norms regarded as societally proper or humanistically "base," though this is an oversimplification. In other words, much of that which is Other and yet Same is deemed as "insane."

Trite.

For there exists the voice in the back of the head. The voice is constant. The voice is your own voice that speaks in reference to yourself. Those who are deaf do not hear words, even within their mind, but the voice exists all the same.

"Gah, I'm hungry, I should go make some food."

"Let's see, what do I need to do today?"

"Alright, just one more math problem."

"I could veer onto the sidewalk and kill that man right now, if I wanted to."

This voice is a constant aspect of the human condition. This voice is nothing to fear, because it is simply a means of the mind's self-reflection. That reflection allows man to consider, to deliberate, to reason. It is a perfectly beneficial faculty.

Nonetheless, it is said that talking to oneself is the first sign of madness, and answering oneself is the second. This is utterly nonsensical, one speaks to and answers oneself near-constantly, whether one recognizes it or not.

That raises a question, though. Insanity functions in regards to the "mind," the mind exists through the conduit of this voice. What then is the relationship between the voice and the nature of insanity?

Insanity is not hearing the voice. Insanity is not even listening to the voice when it tempts you towards the blackness.

Insanity is when you tear the skin off the voice and plaster it over yourself. When you cease to contemplate finitude and look to a futile apotheosis that makes itself symmetrical above the flesh of Man.

Insanity is when you make the voice silent, and act in its absence.

The playwright of the inner monologue has been silenced and his inkwell knocked over, so that the black may stain the pages before it in an utterly monstrous way. Do not try to mop up the ink, for the pages have already absorbed it. Do not try to stem the flow, for then it will sink into your body as well.

Why has the question this is meant to answer been avoided for so long? What sort of person is Ayaka Shibito? How does she think, act, and feel?

This is her mind.

This is her life.

There is no "personality," because the voice has been killed. There is merely the shell of a girl whose actions cannot even be called "actions," as they lack purpose. Emotion as a force of the soul exists, but it lacks a guiding force. A nuclear missile that still carries its payload, but is launched in a random direction. She is the girl who acts as any other, until she abruptly decides not to.

The girl who will greet you with the tip of a proverbial hat and a warm smile.

The girl who will idly laugh with friends, joking about trivial and meaningless topics.

The girl whose eyes will light up in joy upon receiving a new present.

The girl who will freeze up in shock, on the verge of tears when seeing a friend or family member injured.

The girl who will twist the knife in further, never dropping her grin.

Why would she not, after all?

It's not like there is a voice to stop her.

History: Born like any other human. Breathed like any other human. Walked like any other human. The child of a wealthy man and a beautiful woman, born to a privileged life in a small nation of Daerai. The typical wants of a child her age were satisfied. Material goods, companionship, familial love. All so very simple. All so very idyllic.

It is not that the true self was repressed, rather that it simply hadn't bothered to show its other portions. In that sense, Ayaka was a typical young girl.

An upbringing that barely requires noting. There was no traumatic incident that killed the mind's empathy, nor a strange accident, nor even a playground bully. There was merely that, a "normal" life, a "normal" childhood.

When she matured, she immigrated to the nation of Aaester, citing the justification for such as an experience that would grant better economic opportunity. In reality, it was for a far simpler reason.

In a land wrought by chaos, there is certain to be more fun.

Goals/Motive: "Let's make something fun happen."

Name: Unlimited Alteration Matrix: Enkidu.

Creation: Created as a Tengu meant for a unique combat style oriented around being "unpredictable," Enkidu was formed out a near-innumerable amount of human souls bound into river clay. Its body is simply that of "mud", with its gem of a core able to shift its position in the body's interior due to Enkidu's unique ability.

Type: Biological

Required Compatibility: Unpredictability and exploitation. As Enkidu is meant to be a tool of infinite variation, it takes one who is not bound to a specific mode of thought to use him. While this sounds simple in theory, in practice it makes Enkidu nigh-incompatible with anyone regarded as normatively correct. In other words, it takes a being with "impossible" values, who melts into the state that society would deem insane and whose existence is of a chaos beyond human, to utilize his power.

Appearance:

Main Ability: Shapeshifting. The alteration of Enkidu's body. While shapeshifting is a standard capability for most Biological Tengu, Enkidu has been made with it as a specialty. For him, it has reached the stage where his shapeshifting can be called "limitless." Physically, spiritually, conceptually, even mentally, anything can be changed. This turns Enkidu into a fearsome force in combat, able to change from form to form such that the enemy struggles to create a cohesive strategy against him.

Hidden Ability: Presence Detection. The ability to create a complete disclosive sketch of all beings within a radius of .5 kilometers, in other words a sort of passive scrying mechanism that allows for an understanding of the enemy and the environment, to better aid with combat strategy. Regardless of complexity or status, anything can be analyzed.

How did your character obtain their Tengu?: En route to Aaestar, while crossing a river, Enkidu was activated upon passive detection of the presence of a compatible individual. The mud puppet rose out of the river clay, and pledged itself to Ayaka. Ayaka allowed his presence because she found him a suitable tool. The two have since traveled together.

Personality: An existence that sees itself as an autonomous tool, to be used by its master as they see for. Ultimately wishes for the betterment of mankind, but does not care to discover the methods of doing so himself.

---

Equipment/Assets:

Money: A relatively decent sum of money from the Shibito family, enough to survive on with little difficulty.

Coffee: Enough caffeinated powder to fuel a small army for months. This is of course an exaggeration, but nonetheless Ayaka carries a large supply of instant coffee on her person. The reason is unknown.

Mud: Several crates full of clay, lugged around by Enkidu. Ayaka elected to purchase it so that he could have a friend, though it does not seem to have served the desired purpose.

Hidden Ability: Presence Detection. The ability to create a complete disclosive sketch of all beings within a radius of .5 kilometers, in other words a sort of passive scrying mechanism that allows for an understanding of the enemy and the environment, to better aid with combat strategy. Regardless of complexity or status, anything can be analyzed.

As wonderful as just ripping Enkidu is, I hope you don't mind me saying that this doesn't fit with the main ability, and as such isn't really applicable in this setting. (Unless I'm mistaken, that is.)

this doesn't fit with the main ability

Nah, it does. Don't worry, it's all based around a central theme, you'll see when we get to combat time~

I understand what you are going for, and I'm saying that I disapprove of it.

@BabyCakes: Same thing with Ezekiel, but this, and no pun intended, is literally taking the cake. She's 12. She's literally still a child. Sure, in the Manga kids have gotten things worse than death... but I would really, REALLY like to avoid seeing that hear. In a normal RP, I would immediately say no, since I would find an app like this to honestly be silly, but considering this is Akame Ga Kiru, and something like this could very well indeed happen, I'm very much tempted to say yes... so, I'm somewhat on the border of things here. Since it doesn't break any rules, and even though I'm still hesitant here and there... I will say that they are indeed accepted, but this is a one time thing and we have enough children heroes as is. Also, the First Emperor created all the Tengus, if you could fix it so that Mr. Chi Chi was created in a different manner than the way you have him now that would be great!

I'll fix Mr Chi Chi, and if you want I change her are to 18 or 19, and she just acts like a kid if that's better?

Edit: I fixed it, instead Mr Chi Chi was an experiment gone horribly right xD. I changed Baby Cakes age to 19 but since finding out about her parent's murder she is stuck in a childlike mind set. That can actually happen to people, who have been in a bad tragedy.

Name: Aiden Rose

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance/Description:

Personality: He’s quite mischievous yet kind and caring towards people close to him. Aiden is a strange young boy. Of course, that sounds vague, but you’ll understand what I mean. He’s a highly intelligent and calculating child. He’s mostly shy when he’s being sincere to someone he isn’t close to, however he can act as if he knew the person for years, speaking comfortably when he’s lying or trying to impress someone.

He's very compassionate and kind but can kill people he doesn't know without having any moral contradictions -as long as he actually has a reason to- ever since he took his first life. This tends to give people around him an uneasy feeling when they're with him.

Goals/Motive: To bring the men who kicked dirt into his face down. He’s purely doing what he does out of sheer lust for revenge.

Bio/History: Aiden is the very definition of the word 'gamin'. Ever since he was a boy, he has lived on the streets along with a couple of others just like him, some older, some younger... He grew up with them as brothers and sisters but he left the group at the age of 12, after most of them died from a contagious disease. He had been with them ever since he ran from the orphanage he was put in at the age of 9.

Now living on the streets without anyone to look out for him, or anyone for him to look out for, Aiden survived using the skills he'd learned stealing for the group. Over the years, he grew more and more skilled in fighting with a staff, the edge of which he'd sharpened. Stealing to live, he learned how to be discreet and fit in, increasing his acrobatic skills for when he would be running away.

One day, he was caught stealing from a blacksmith, almost emptying the man's deposit. When the blacksmith found him, he trapped the boy inside. Seeing the helpless gamin, the man felt pity and offered him a chance to earn money for himself. Aiden knew that either he accepted the offer or he'd have to go to jail or back on the streets. He worked with the man for several years, helping him craft weapons. For once, the boy had gotten a father figure who would give him an actual bed to sleep in. One day when he was going up to his room in the attic, he overheard some people talking. There were several guards and a cloaked old man in the smithy, talking to the blacksmith. He saw one of the guards push the back of his spear on the blacksmith's shoulder and knock him over the counter. "You have three days," Aiden heard. "Got it?"

After several days, Aiden woke up to screams. He ran out of his room in the middle of the night, seeing the bleeding man on the first floor. He quickly tended to his wounds and put him to bed, sitting by his side. When the man woke up, he explained what had happened. The man who had come the other day had ordered ten freshly made swords by that day and when he hadn't made it on time, the man just wanted to make his point clear. He tried to explain it in a way that would make the nobleman seem innocent but was unsuccessful. Later the next week, when they revisited the smith, the blacksmith was sleeping soundly in his room. Aiden was the one tending the shop, sitting behind the counter. He said the weapons were ready but that he couldn't carry all of them. He instructed the men to follow him to the back and two of the guards left, leaving only one behind with the nobleman. When he led the two men to the back, he slashed the first one's throat with one of the sword's he had picked for "demonstration". While the other man was trying to draw his sword, he stabbed the man under his chest, sticking the tip out of the man's spine. He fell with the sword stuck in him. Aiden went over to the weapons and pulled out the spear he'd made himself.

He circled the shop, running from the back and coming back in from the front, he stuck the tip of the spear into the unknowing guard's back. Without any hesitation or pause, he separated the nobleman's head from his body. The local police force found the bodies in the slums, squeezed into a dark alley. After that night, he started disappearing from time to time, not showing up for days or weeks.

Currently, Aiden continues to help the owner of the blacksmith shop who is still unable to sit up properly.

Teigu:

Name: Divine Flash, "Raimei"

Creation: The First Emperor had built this sword for one of his loyal servants. It doesn’t have much of a story behind it other than of its time on the battlefield. In its core resides water drawn from a strange pond that keeps the sky blue color it has adapted and blood drawn from the noblest veins. Infused with the steel around it, this weapon was created.

Type: Weaponry Type

Required Compatibility: *Silver Tongue* The teigu prefers users with incredible intellect and a mischievous nature. All of its past owners were manipulative thieves, warriors or even diplomats, though there were quite few who could actually use it to its fullest. Its current owner, the blacksmith's apprentice, is the first person to have been able to use Red Flash and Blue Flash together.



Main Ability: |Blue Flash| The teigu grants its user the ability to disappear in a blue flash and reappear anywhere in a 50 meter vicinity. Movement more than 15 meters at a time strains the user, making it more difficult to make longer jumps, however, small jumps don’t waste much energy so they can be used consecutively during close combat. When used, the user’s eyes turn bright blue.

Hidden Ability: Hidden Ability: |Red Flash| The user’s weapon gets covered in an enormous red aura, shaped like a longsword and obtains a guard around the hilt. Blue being the ability granted by the water, Red Flash is granted by the blood. It’s called Red Flash because of the increased speed of the user that makes the weapon’s aura look like a flash. The speed almost matches that of Teigu-user hunters who’ve especially trained in that area.

How did your character obtain their Teigu? While working at the smithy, he took a rare walk into the forest. After a while of walking, he came across a group of men in a camp. One of them had a fancy sword on his belt. His mischievous nature getting the better of him, the boy decided to steal one last time. He waited for nightfall, not making a sound. When they were asleep, he slid the sword from the man’s belt. Later things got a bit messy but that’s a story for another time.

Equipment/Assets: As a second weapon, he carries a short spear with a long blade (see appearance).
He developed almost perfect acrobatic skills and reflexes living on the streets for so long and running from policemen or guards, especially with the cruel order now. Over the years, he has improved his swordsmanship in order to use his Teigu to its maximum potential.

Perfectly fine to me!

As for all apps up to this point, they are hereby accepted!

I hate to be that guy, but I came to this thread for the sake of being that guy: It's Teigu, as in Teikoku, meaning Empire, as they were created as the legacy of the First Emperor. Tengu translates more closely to Heaven's Arms, which doesn't work quite so well in the context of the setting. :/

Oh trust me, I know that very well. I know the difference between an "I" and an "N".

I decided to change the name of things mostly because I found the name Tengu, from the Japanese long-nosed Demons who wielded mystical and heavenly weapons (such as cloaks, swords, gourds, fans, shields, armor, etc.), as you described to be more interesting. I also didn't want it to be directly related to the Teigu from Akame Ga Kiru, even though these are based off of them, since again, I found Tengu, as in 'demonic' arms, to be far more interesting and fun.

So trust me, I'm not as dumb as I may act~

It has recently come to my attention that I have made some... well, I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I have made a very stupid action that has made things highly uncomfortable with the other players and they have sent me some messages that have pointed out various things that I cannot deny.

So, unfortunately, GuyYouWishYouDidntKnow, I revoke your application for Enkidu, or anything relating to its kind of powers from this RP since I believe it is far, far too overpowered. Unlimited Alteration Matrix is far too OP in the sense that with presence detection, Enkidu can transform into the perfect counter to any weapon... hell, because its ability to transform is "limitless" physically, spiritually, conceptually, even mentally... anything about it can be changed seeing as he's basically got the ability to turn into any Tengu as it wishes.

Let's take one big concern of mine: for example, he could transform into the "Ultimate Tengu" or even a "a weapon that is designed to destroy all Tengus".

So, unfortunately, I cannot accept him as the way he is knowing how much he could very well ruin the fun of everyone in the RP.

Aw, but he was only gonna be used to mess with Naxu, I never intended on any use beyond that~

Well, the "he could transform into the "Ultimate Tengu" or even a "a weapon that is designed to destroy all Tengus"" isn't quite on par unless something like that existed to be analyzed, but he could turn into a Tengu amalgam pretty easily and things along those lines, probably just by analyzing Cloe considering her composition. That would have been too boring though so I had some other stuff in the works, but yeah, I acknowledge the concern and agree wholeheartedly that he's broken as shit.

I'll make up a new one in the morning, or something.
