I love LR, my only issue is one I don't usually have in RPGs, which is that I CAN'T STAND the main character. He's such a backwater country bumpkin that it's crossed past funny and into annoying.
^This, but then again I'd rather have backwoods hillbilly than whiny, wimpy "but I'm not Lord Sigmund, I'm just a wussy flute player" Capell, this why I cheer for Lloyd Irving more than you <.<
omg this update is awesome
On another note, the alternate villain option is (sort of) finished.

Summary
The dark nemesis of all things pure seeks to walk through a red sea. His blade is the physical embodiment of war, and his armor was fueled by bloodbath. His eyes were coated with all kinds of horror, his pupils lined by the world’s countless sins. Neither rage nor peace fully controls his actions. But whilst he showed no signs of uncontrollable anger, he slashed with fury. With a temporary pact formed with an unknown individual, he now searches for something. And as he searches more, the path behind him only grows larger.
”Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.” –Edgar Allan Poe
Shezmu
Nicknames: Executioner of Orisis, Slaughterer of Souls
Age: ?
Gender: Male
Powers
Blood Manipulation: Shezmu can create nearly anything with his blood manipulation. He can form swords and, if he has any use for one, firearms. Shezmu can control the momentum and gravity of any blood drop outside of a target's body and create "artificial blood" out of thin air. The more Shezmu bleeds, the stronger all of his attacks become.
Red Baron: Shezmu is naturally immune to blood manipulation and damage dealt by blood (ie. acidic blood).
Fierce of Face: Shezmu’s blade attacks causes his targets to bleed more than usual. In return, his blade attacks will also cause targets who naturally bleed often (due to diseases and etc.) to bleed far less than usual.
Nefertem: All attacks involving physical blood manipulation leave behind the scent of Shezmu’s fallen opponent’s blood. May cause the opponent to become a little dizzy due to the heavy scent.
Sekhmet: Shezmu cannot be killed by normal means, regardless of whether he is defeated or not. If Shezmu is defeated, the next time he faces an opponent, he will deal slightly more damage than before. His existence denies sealing magic.
Hazy Thoughts: Shezmu’s memories are heavily distorted and clearly modified. In the memories, everyone has an identical face that belongs to a skinless corpse.
Influence of Gods: Shezmu has extreme resistance against magic spells in general and can split steel without his sword.
Abilities
Whisper of Insanity: Shezmu whispers to the insane. This ability can drive mentally instable people into a deeper state of madness. Mostly used against those who committed great crimes.
Red Hook: Shezmu throws down four anchors composed of blood onto the ground, summoning a large coffin that stands at the center of the anchors. As long as the coffin is left open and untouched, it will spawn a random (small) abomination per ten seconds. Shezmu may manually unsummon the coffin. The small abominations look like spherical masses of tentacles that stick to any target it attaches to. They are somewhat heavy and can never actually hurt a target, but large amounts of these can drag down a target to the ground.
Nyarlathotep Concoction: Shezmu swings an arm forward, blood forming around it as it quickly turns into a gigantic tentacle. Can push enemies with great force, but decays over time once the tentacle makes contact with a target other than himself.
Magnus Interception: Shezmu stomps on the ground, causing three increasingly large pillars of blood to shoot out of the ground in front of him. The pillars move in a straight line and appear one by one. The pillars consume objects and holds onto them as long as they are active. Upon Shezmu’s command, the pillars may vanish. Works only on the ground.
Face The Fears: Shezmu gathers red crackling energy over one of his hands. After five seconds of charging, the warrior shoots out a thin red line out of one of his fingers as he points at a target. If a target is hit by the ability, they will experience an illusion featuring a heavily distorted version of one of Shezmu’s opponents’ deaths. This illusion lasts for approximately ten seconds and extends based on how well the target handles the illusion.
Unwavering Tide: Shezmu falls into a puddle of blood that forms underneath him. Right when he enters the puddle, the puddle will turn into a moving tide of red that moves towards a single direction. The tide increases in size as it moves. If the tide becomes large enough, the moving tide of blood will leave behind moderately-sized nyarlathoteps. Shezmu cannot be attacked during this form, and can stop the tide at his own will. Lasts up to thirty seconds during a single tide.
Bloodbed: Shezmu swings his sword vertically three times, each attack carrying him into the air. The last sword attack spins the opponent in the air uncontrollably.
Bleed Delta: Shezmu grabs an incoming physical attack. If he catches the attack, blood will swarm and coat the target before erupting into a small explosion of red, infecting a target. While infected, the target will move half as quickly as they currently could. The infection lasts for five seconds. Shezmu himself does not use this ability that much, as it is hard to pull off unless he can tell where the target is going to hit him.
Faiyum Install: Shezmu must have received some form of damage and cast twenty of his abilities to use this spell. Shezmu instantly coats himself in a layer of blood before expelling the blood away from his body, covered in a fully crimson version of his armor. Faiyum Install lasts for twenty seconds and can be cast by meeting the requirements of the ability. Faiyum Install grants enhanced speed and allows Shezmu to cast multiple abilities simultaneously.

Personality
Though driven by power, Shezmu never underestimates any kind of target. His ability to speak to the insane never drives him mad, as his own mind is able to handle the explanation behind such insanities. He shows little interest in the actual conception of "killing," despite how much he has killed. Shezmu mostly seeks to kill those who are strong enough to face him on equal ground. His generally quiet nature draws the attentions of many animals towards him. Most of such animals do not seem to fear him that much.
Background
The underworld was no kind place to the woman who bore him. A month after his birth, his mother was torn away from him and brutally raped before the eyes of many demons. His father, on the other hand, went through the experience of being crucified and even castrated, his marred body burnt in a fire as he died slowly. The baby's relatives also shared the same fates and died. And when they all died, Shezmu lived in isolation under the protection of a god who managed to snatch him away from the underworld for an unknown reason.
Regardless of the god's reason, Shezmu lived with the strange experience of living the lives of his family in his dreams. From birth to their brutal deaths, he experienced every single bit of their lives and gained a twisted insight upon all living beings. For Shezmu was a lord of blood, and Orisis, the god who picked him up, hated demons and the most sinful of people. To protect his own creations, Orisis molded Shezmu into a powerful warrior designed to destroy all of the underworld in an ultimate one-man march of war. And he nearly succeeded.
The executioners who raped and brutalized his kin were sent to thousand-year prisons that slowly ate their flesh away. And as their own blood recalled the memories of the deaths of Shezmu's kin, their minds were distorted beyond comprehension, much to Shezmu's pleasure. But Shezmu was not just satisfied with destroying the people who took away the great gift he never experienced. He killed and tortured demons and, much to their horror, slit the throats of thousands of children and diced the unborn into two symmetrical pieces.
Orisis realized too late when he realized that Shezmu began to think of his own people the same way he did to the demons. Terrified at his own creation, he abandoned Shezmu and allowed him to live within the underworld. But the longer he lived in the underworld, the stranger his motivations turned. A strange wisdom and serenity settled within Shezmu's heart the more he slayed the demons. And as he drank the blood of the children who pleaded to spare their lives, he longed more wisdom. With the deaths of many lives, he came to a realization: he had become bored of killing the powerless.
And so, he suddenly changed his attention to challenging the warriors that existed in the underworld, and he eventually left when there were too little warriors left. On the harsh way in leaving the underworld, he came across a deity who would further change his goals.
For now, he seeks something new.
:D sounds cool Rusa ^^
looking forward to the Cs
in other news I got my final idea for my last Cs, a flower prince (a real flower prince who doest't know basic things like he will put a bowl on his head and say hat)
Name: Rebecca Selie Valentine
Nickname: Mistress (that's what her little darlings call her), Becky (Seriously, don't call her this)
Age: Unknown (She was eighteen at least when she was turned, sometime during the Renaissance)
Gender: Female (obviously)
Powers:
~Glamour~
One of Rebecca's innate abilities is to conjure forth images that are pleasing to the eye, often provoking feelings of wonder, joy, love, and a sense of warmth and comfort
~Allurement~
With just a simple look into her eyes or a batting of her eyelashes, a soft smirk included, Rebecca can gain control of someone and lure them to her subconciously. Of course, it's only effective if the intended target is of weak will, but she is rather persistent in her...endeavors.
~Manipulation~
One of her more sinister devices, Rebecca's well known to be a master-manipulator, able to sway the thoughts and actions of those around her to fit her own needs and desires, whether through physical or mental prodding. Even, she has the ability to invade the dreams of her intended victims while they sleep and tamper with them, further corrupting their minds until they are under her control
~Shape-Shifting~
As with most Nosferatu, Rebecca has the ability to change shape into almost anything. Her most common alternate-form is of a black cat, but she can also form into a bat (naturally) or a cloud of dark mist. There is also the matter of her true vampiric form
Skills: Rebecca's particular skills have mostly come from her staving off her boredom for the last few hundred years, taking up menial hobbies and whatnot to entertain her. She is an avid poet and novelist, fluent with her words and has had a few of her books published in secret under a pen name Vaelerie DuMare, mostly horror and gothic romance novels. One of her books was even adapted into a manga recently (a yuri manga). She is also rather proficient in horseback riding and surprisingly, fencing, a sport she enjoys quite a bit for the rush she feels from it, plus she is quite the swordswoman. Not exactly a musical virtuoso, there have been times she's fiddled around with a violin or a piano, and is rather talented with both instruments.
Hobbies: ~"Let's see. I believe I've already said I enjoy fencing and horseback riding and quite a few other things. Ah, but there is reading classical literature from all across the world, mostly Shakespeare, but I do adore the Greek Tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides, and of course the lovely poetry of Sappho. That reminds me, could chasing after adorable girls be considered a hobby?"~
No Rebecca...it cannot. *facepalm*
"Can someone just stake her through the heart already?!" D:<
You shut up! <.<
Personality: Charming and elegant, a very courtesan attitude, she could woo you with just a few simple words or with just a look of her eyes. She cares for others and does what's necessary to help those in need, but when angered, her personality shifts and she becomes cold, relentless, and violent. Unlike some, Rebecca only pines for the simpler things of life. From day to day, she preoccupies herself with hobbies such as reading classic literature, listening to music, playing violin and piano, painting, etc., etc. It's become apparent to some that she enjoys the company of women more than men, possibly even a physical attraction to them. Though she is also sociable with men, she has a particular disdain for some, especially if they take advantage of a woman in any way or are cruel to them.
Background:
House Valentine was once the most prominent of families in the Venetian Aristocracy. Baron Renault, Rebecca's father, was a wealthy landowner and a considerably generous philanthropist. He later fell in love with Marianne, a beautiful and famous actress and opera singer, and married, where upon later they had a daughter, Rebecca. Twas thanks to her mother that Rebecca was raised in an environment steeped in music and the arts. She loved to hear her mother sing and enjoyed watching her plays and her concerts with her father. She even dreamed once of becoming an actress just like her mother, to be adored and talented as she was...but sadly her dreams were cut short. One considerably dark and cloudy night, a stranger clad in black and wearing a mask visited her family's home, and with him....he brought unspeakable horrors.
He was tame at first, rather charming to Rebecca, but his advances upon her and her mother became unsettling. Renault soon took notice and kindly, yet firmly he asked the man to leave. He did not.... Instead, the man revealed himself to be a creature of the damned. He murdered Rebecca's family right before her waking eyes, tearing them to pieces with his bare hands and lapping their blood off the floor. Then, he turned towards Rebecca, a savage gleam in his wicked red eyes. She tried to run away, far into the darkness of the forest surrounding her family's lavish abode, but he was too quick for her. Soon he caught her and pinned her to the ground ripping away her dress and defiling her once pure essence with his malice. Once the vile act was committed, the creature took her limp and lifeless body, tied stones to her ankles, and tossed her into a lake, never to be seen again...
Tales of his massacre would spread like wildfire, but the killer's identity would never be known....except by one.
Years past since that horrific night, a lowly fisherman out on his evening stroll discovered the woman's body after his hook snagged onto her. He pulled the seemingly dead woman out of the lake, but right as the full, crimson moon shined upon her corpse, Rebecca sprung to life instantly and attacked the man, draining him until he was nothing but a dried husk. She fled back to her home, only to find it in ruins, every last ounce of her family legacy gone in ashes. An anger surged within her as she looked to the charred remains of her family's mansion, her eyes becoming dark as the ash that surrounded her. Rebecca could see him again, his vile smirk, his despicable eyes leering with bloodlust. But worse....she had become just like him...a creature of the undead...a Vampire. From that day forward, she swore vengeance upon him killing her family, destroying her home...and turning her into a monster.
Eventually, she caught up to the vampire and slayed him in cold blood, but by that time, the damage was already done. Her family gone, her house ruined, and her old life now in shambles, Rebecca soon turned towards her new life as a vampire, and ever so slowly, she embraced it. For several years, she's traveled about the world, immortality being the blessing it was, and seduced many a beautiful maiden to their imminent demise at her fangs. She steeped herself in not only practical knowledge such as mathematics, science, and philosophy, but also in the languages and cultures of the many places she had visited. Nevertheless, she kept her true identity as a Nosferatu hidden from the outside world, only indulging her savage bloodlust out of need for survival. The few who knew what she was were only those closest to her, be it a friend or a lover, and some willingly allowed Rebecca to feed from them.
Now in the modern era, she's set her sights upon Orean Cause and it's many decadent delights, and soon...she intends to have them all as her lovely servants.

"Like fuck I would!! You're like the town bicycle!! Gawd only knows who's sat on that seat!!" D:<
Hahahaha Her convo with Ev is so cute ^^ Thats one long background and it was delightful to read.I am excited for her ^^
Very interesting do have a few questions with power thats just it. For glamour how strong it is? Allurement, I like how you put weak will at least but how strong is it for not the weak minded. And last for manipulation is it mind taking over or just plain talking to be manipulative?
Thast all ^^ I shall call her Becky ^^
~"Ugh...I utterly loathe that childish nickname."~
"Good, get used to it, cause I gonna use it all day long." >:D
*slaps tape on Ev's mouth*
>///< *muffled cursing*
Yeah I can say those two are gonna get along just fine..ehehe.. But as for the glamour, it's mostly an illusory technique. Say if she knew a girl liked..hummingbirds per-say, she could make one seem to appear out of thin air, but it would just be a false image and nothing physical. Allurement is pretty much subconscious hypnosis, and really anyone can counter it if they tried, but as for the weak willed, it's usually hard for them to resist. The same depends on manipulation as well. It's more of a gradual process to manipulate others rather than just instant.
aha! I see, that's good to know and her plans for a harem to the school XDXD Oh gosh but though what about allure net with people with different sexualities? It just popped in my head and wonder how that work. Like Penn he (is gay but doesn't figure it out until way later probably)and weak mined how it would effect like change it? That just pop out so you don't have to go think that deep for it
But for now Becky is now accepted yay more for the party!!
XD I think it would be hilarious if she went after some of the trap characters, and allurement isn't really dependent upon the gender of her victims. It mostly has to do with the subconscious of the person in general. So yes, if she were to use it on Penn, it may effect him the same as it would a girl indefinitely.
*looks at Penn* O.O ~"But...but you're...I-I thought y-you were....Oh for the love of the gods!"~ *facepalm*
"SPFFFF HAHAHAHAAAA!!" XD "Oh man this is great!"
<.< *Throws her fencing sword at Ev*
O.O;..... "Oh yeah...you're psycho."
Also YAYYYY!!!! \(^.^)/
*looks at Iyo* ~"Well you are certainly cute, my sweet, but- No..no no..I better not make that mistake again."~ ^///^
Oh crap I forgot to put her in music club!
"YOU PUT HER IN THE SAME CLUB AS ME?!!!" D:<
~"And we're going to have so much fun together."~ *winks*

-------
Also here is my still WIP char, his name is Rain as mentioned before by Iyo in the IC
Has green hair and golden eyes. About 5"11 and weighs about 123lb.
Name: Raindrop
Nickname: Rain
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Powers:
Skills:
Hobbies: Standing, Looking, Seeing, tasting, touching, hearing, following, giving.
Personality:
Rain is one of those types of beings who have no common sense; in terms he isn’t that smart when it comes to logic. He lived in a different world that the human world is out of his hands. He may look bored or staring of to the distance but he is just wondering how the world works. In the right words he is a very clueless guy. Looking at a cat he might end up following it for days, a bowl as a hat, forks as a way to comb hair…all the little things he does differently. He is not the smartest but he is certainly one of the happiest ones. It doesn’t show on his face but even with that blank face he is smiling in the inside.
Rain is just not used to showing his emotions too much, he occasionally smiles once a while but never too much. He is also the type to say one word like bear then he would bear hug anyone or fall then he would lay face plant on the ground. He is quite the particular fellow if in mind. He is best friends with Iyo, they been childhood friends ever since they were toddlers. Hana in the other hand likes to take advantage of the clueless flower. “Borrowing his money” is Hana’s way to take advantage of him. Even though Iyo doesn’t know that Rain is a nature spirit he still his glad to have him around a lot.

After all, I've been known to be rather...flexible."~ *winks* ~"Ah and as for you, dearest Penn, I...I assumed you were...well honestly...I thought you were a girl. My mistake, ehehehe..."~ ^///^ *pats Penn's head*
Hana is a delinquent XD picking on Iyo's beast friend and Rain thinks its all normal XD
Iyo: evil?-looks at Ev- my mom says before judging someone you got to know them! -smiles happily and looks at Rebecca- That's great! Flexibility is the key point in gymnastics! Like this! -grabs right leg and stretches it until it reaching his head- it's really fun! I got my best friend to join!
Rain: -waves and follows a cat in circles-
Penn: A girl?! B-but...I don't look that girls...am I? -touch face-
