B /x/ O /x/ W: [Blood Curse of the Brotherhood]
High Casual RP.
血 液 油 水 (Blood x Oil x Water)
[Blood Curse]

RP Hosted by me and Makatsume Haru.

Intro
Since the beginning of time, magic, science and technology had always been overlapping with each other like oil and water that cease each other like fire and ice, there are those who carry their ideals of what reigns supreme and that's where heated disputes began. Conflicts with various groups throughout our time, the heated debate of ideals that clash with these people continues to oppose one another, convert one another and eventually destroy each other that is why we have wars, the more we think that ones belief is able to open a bright door to the future, there will always be people who oppose just like religion and science. But know this, since the beginning of time, blood has always been thicker than water and oil combined, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind with the scorching clash of ideals we brought upon the world with our gifts.

Plot
They say that, the more good we do in our lives, the chances of our death and after life leads us to Heaven and the more we sin, we open Pandora's box and lead ourselves to Hell but nevertheless we often call Earth the happiest place to stay, a living purgatory where sinners and preachers fight but what is so pure and true to believe?. Have we ever thought once that God exist? I say this, if you believe in God, you believe in the Devil, forbidden secrets that are kept from our world which is why he have history, our ancestors kept the truths of our history such as the past 2 great wars. Very hypocritical indeed, we learn history yet it is filled with lies to maintain peace in return an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind thus making blood thicker than water and oil combined, this story takes place in the year 2095 where science and technology drastically immersed us and brought our countries into a superior state but as we do so, we forget our roots and that's where greater conflict rises with magic cults and supernatural beings.

Terms we all should know as well as facts:
Artificial magicians, in this era, magic has become less abundant and Scientists found a way to replicate magic through technology, we call people who are AM, Kaijutsins.

Normal magicians are those who have innate and natural magic, your everyday plain magicians.

Magical Girls are named: Gem-mancers or Gemstone/Gem users, they are very rare. Their power come from the Gemstones. They can also be Cyborg Cyberpunked Magic Girls depending on your own concept in your gemstone.

Gemstones such as sapphire gives them a certain element as well as a weapon known as familiar like swords etc.
First come first serve for Magic Girls.

What the gemstones can do? pros and cons
It makes you resistant to your own element, your magic is ten times fold than a normal magic user and stronger version of your element than the normal ones. You are one with your gemstones, it is microscopic and inside your body much of like a soul.

Suits: Ren-mecha, since the suit is filled with alchemy but that doesn't mean you can do alchemy.

Renkinjutsu- Alchemist, they are rare as well, PM me or Makatsume Haru if you want to be an Alchemist, Renkai are artificial Alchemists which uses tech.

Ki users are energy users, they are the highlight of the RP, you can't use both ki and magic, they specialize in martial arts and advance elemental projection.

Capital city in this world are somewhat magical and advanced technology/futuristic.

Important sites
RIS: Ren Investigation Society

The central HQ for the science side.
And where they conduct experiments for the investigation of Ren, where Renkai was first discovered.

IK: Institute for Kaijutsins, where they teach how to use the power of Renkai
It also has a special program to train especially talented Kaijutsins to serve as large-scale weapons.Called: Project RMDW.

Main Setting: Scherazade Island.

RP is now open for recruitment.

Well, might as well introduce myself. :P

Me is Haru, the SiC for this RP. If any of those future RPers has a question, feel free to ask me.

Tentative CS, WIP


Name:
Hakuno Kazakiri
Gender:
Male
Age:
17
Nationality:
USA x Japanese

History:
Quirks:

Skills:
Athletics - Parkour (Expert)
Hakuno is a solidly skilled Parkour enthusiast, a skill which is only amplified by his Kaijutsin ability. He can use his physical agility for a variety of means - to retreat readily, reach attack points most opponents would not even think about checking, get to locations nobody else can, among other similar applications. However, he mostly uses it to run around the rooftops of Scherazade, usually for purposes relating to his job as a courier but also for leisure.
Navigation (Competent)
Now, he would be better with this skill, if he knew more about the layout Scherazade Island and all its fun little backalleys, shortcuts, and hidden routes. At the moment he knows most public routes (and even some shady backalleys) through the city and how to reach different locations within it, both by ground and by roof. Though, this skill doesn't only govern his ability to navigate locally, it also covers his ability to remember routes and sense of direction, both of which he's quite better than the average person at.
Hand to Hand Combat (Competent)
Hakuno possesses both knowledge of pragmatic streetfighting from his history, and of military martial arts from the basic military training he got from the RWMD Project. However, his skill in this lies not in his ability to alternate between the two styles to catch his opponent off guard, but rather, to haphazardly mash the two together along with his Parkour and some fun moves from TV to create an entirely new 'fighting style' that somehow works surprisingly well. However, it probably isn't able to defeat a tried and true fighting style like Taekwondo or Muay Thai in a fair fight due to his own lack of experience in direct combat.
Weaponry - Handguns + Knives (Novice)
How to do the shooty and the stabby. Though he's much more proficient in the 'stabby', since he's had prior experience with it, though not much, outside of the aforementioned basic military training. He can also throw the knife I suppose, but that's a stupid idea since he's effectively disarming himself and has no knife throwing experience anyway. Pistol whipping on the other hand, is something that he'd be able to do with ease.
Wilderness Survival (Novice)
Basic training from his time with the RWMD Project. Mostly how to get food when lost, set up camp, and whatnot. Basic stuff, not how to build cabins or track a raccoon based off of variations in a tree's scent. Though it's not as if this skill'd be of much use, given that he mostly operates within urban areas.

Magic:
Kaijutsin: Spatial Distortion
Spatial Distortion is an ability that does exactly what you think it would: distort the space around a given point or points. The ability is undoubtedly quite flexible in potential usages. Maybe not to the extent as many other powers, but still fairly flexible in its own right, with several applications that do more than cover the usual three bases of offense, defense, and utility. However, as Hakuno mainly uses his ability to aid his Parkour skill, he rarely delves into the truly powerful and diverse capabilities of Spatial Distortion such as straight-up crushing or removing points, bypassing barriers, disorienting the enemy by screwing with their surroundings, among other things. His training with the Institute and Project RWMD has given him most of the tools necessary to access some of the more 'simple' complex applications of his ability, but to access the truly powerful capabilities, he'd need quite a bit more creativity and/or training, maybe even some outside assistance.

So, can you give a description for what Alchemy does? All I seem to get is 'it is what mechas are comprised of' and 'it is rare'

Speaking of which, are Ki users basically Benders from Avatar? That's the impression I'm getting from the martial arts and advanced element projection thing.

Lastly, what exactly is the difference between Kaijutsins and plain magicians apart from being made artificially?

Well, for the first question, Alchemy is actually one of the branches of magic that are dying down, Alchemists are almost gone and the few that remain have joined what you'd call the 'science side' and helped develop the Kaijutsins, in other words, artificial mages. In terms of it, Alchemy is the study of the very essence of magic, and it also studies all of its applications. In this RP, alchemists won't be so much as 'fighters', more like 'savants'.

Ki users are, most basically (as explained by Haruna), like the characters in Hunter x Hunter. Since I haven't seen the anime, I'll just give a little info on what I know after reading the wiki. Basically, they can use their Ki to engulf parts of their body in that same element, and fight using them, as well as 'throwing' it from their palms (projection), so basically, yes, kinda like benders, just a little more restricted to the fact of using it most often in your own body.

I knew Jelly wouldn't explain that through, xD. Don't worry, I'll give you the full version. First difference is the fact that they are 'created' not born with the gift of magic, to do this, right after they are born they are implanted with an special kind of implant (This implant is completely safe, as it has shown no signs of rejection by the human body.) that allows them to use Renkai, the form of mana in this RP for Kaijutsins, if you'd call it something. This implant is also the only way to pilot the mechas, as it is necessary to imprint the info the implant gathers as it grows along its holder. Also, through the modification of this implant, Kaijutsins become more powerful, without an actual need of training, but this kind of experiment is not also dangerous, it is also illegal.

Hope that answers your questions, if it still isn't clear, just say so. :P

Interested, I would like to play as a pilot - machine pair. Could it be possible for the machine to have a humanoid avatar? How does 'suiting up' work? Could she summon the frame from anywhere? Who could she be working for?

Lastly the (female) pilot loves to think of herself as a magical girl but I have no idea how this would work, could she order a custom paintjob for example? For the record her machine loathes the idea because he likes to think of himself as a serious warmachine.

No pink or frills. - K
How about just calling your main gun the Radiant Justice Rod? - J
NYET! - K

While we didn't really thought about the Ren-mechas to have a 'sentient' operational system (More like a navigational system), I think we'll include it. ^.^ So yeah, feel free to have an OS-tan for your mecha, whatever you want to name it. I'll discuss things with Haruna later about the follow-up for this. The suit is, basically, like the suits from Date a Live.



While the weapons won't look so heavy (As its main function is to canalize Renkai and use it as a weapon), it does differ in the fact that it has a 'visor' of sorts, with a HUD and your Navi. The mecha reacts to the implant, so yes, it can be summoned whenever you need it while in the city, thanks to the military underground facilities in which mechas are stored. For suiting up, feel free to come up with your own way to do it, as an exoskeleton of sorts, it attaches to the body via a direct link with the implant (Usually ubicated in the stomach), this is completely wireless. As for who she could work for, either for the military, the RIS or the IK and only the security staff is permitted to use them. For the IK, however, there are those in the project RMDW who are also allowed to have a Ren-mecha.

I don't see a real problem with the last part, just be aware that the real 'Magical Girls' (Gem-mancers) will practically hate her. She can either paint it herself or request the paint job.

Any more questions, feel free to shoot them out. ^.^

Ignore this, unexpected double post.

So, what power would Spatial Distortion go under? I'm planning a courier who alters space around specific points to aid in parkour and general combat.

Either for a Kaijutsin which was able to survive an experiment and can now use LIMITED spatial distortion (Since having large scale spatial distortion would be too OP) or a Wizard born with a great talent for magic.

Since Gem-mancers have a determined gem for the usage of powers, they wouldn't be able to do something of the like.

That's what I thought. And it's not as if I'm gonna have him rip open wormholes to other dimensions or anything like that, more 'altering the space between buildings to aid momentum preservation'. Or alter his position relative to a projectile to dodge bullets. The most I'd think he could probably do is crush a point that an enemy occupies or screw with their surroundings to really disorient someone, though there are probably more exotic applications in regards to physics and shit.

Lol, yeah I also think so. Looking forward to your CS, then! ^.^

So I'm getting mixed signals. From the CS, it says that everyone has a ki ability, but from the OP it says you can't have ki and magic. What do I do?

Just put ren or magic, since two different types of energy can't mix, I believe that was a typo from Haruna.

...I just realized Jel-chan missed Appearance in the sheet xD

Whoa, that's a lot lighter than I had imagined. I was under the impression it was 25m tall or something.

Excellent.

I was thinking both the pilot and the avatar live together, and suiting up is more of a fusion. Obviously he becomes the suit while she is the wearer, but it would be fun to do.

The two can live with a little hate.

Questions:
What is currently the standard accepted means of defence, armour or mobility? Basically is it standard to dodge shots or is it worth it to have heavy armour?
What is the upper limit with regards to the size of the mech?
Roughly how old are pilots normally? I'm thinking of a twenty something couple, would that fit?

Is 'tan' not femine? - K
Maaaybe. - J
I am a MAN thank you very much. - K

Thanks for replying Haru, yes Agent, you are absolutely right, a humanoid avatar can be used and appearance xD.

@Agent show me a sample of your pilot and I will know what to do and lay the instructions, we will see who will you work for but for now guys, we need more members and I will show you how everything works.

Anyway here is an example of Cyborg-Mahou Shoujo you've been wanting.

Why not grab folks from UM?

Damn that was fast. Props to you. Anyway the original design I had in mind weighed around 67 tons... I'll leave the other dimensions up to your imagination. Needless to say I feel it is too big if your idea for this RP was more along the lines of powered armour.

My idea summed up in a sentence: Cheerful enthusiastic girl pilot paired with grumpier, straight-laced warrior as a battle couple.

Currently I see the two looking like this when armoured up:
