@Lugubrious@Lmpkio@Sho Minazuki So should I wait to be given an introductory post, or am I free to jump in somewhere? I'm currently catching up on all the IC posts right now, but I'm at work so it'll take a while to read everything.

You are free to jump in however you wish, but if you have an idea and want to arrange something, do speak with us about it. For basics, as a Demon Hunter, there is a call to arms in Barlour for the Demon Hunters. Demons are coming out of the underground and appearing on the surface, and Gilgamesh and Order of the Sword are allies during this call to arms, is the info you will be fed.

@Sho Minazuki Much obliged. Once I catch up to current events I'll come up with something.

We need more anime Catholocism

Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVB8lM-oCSk

Name: Antonio Hasta
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Race: Human

Appearance: Anderson's work attire consists of a suit of metal armor, sleek and stout looking. Over it is an ornate white surcoat with a scarlet cross emblazoned across the chest. A large red cape covers the knight's shoulders, and his head is concealed by a great helm. From his belt hangs a silver crucifix, several bottles of holy water, and similar items. He is the very image of a wandering crusader.
Underneath the helmet lies a young man with medium length black hair, brushed back and revealing a shock of white. His face is clean shaved and his green eyes are focused and steely. His body sports the odd scar or nick, notably one going diagonally over his eyebrows.

Faction: The Catholic Church

Personality: Andrew, on his surface, resembles the quintessential crusader. Frighteningly zealous and possessed of an incredibly devout faith, he does not hesitate to smite any demons and heretics he sees. Paladin Anderson is a tool of divine retribution.
With his helmet off, metaphorically speaking, he's relatively down to earth. He's an avid reader, and when he's not fighting demons he often helps run the orphanage he grew up in. He holds moral values in high esteem, and puts a high value on human life. In fact, this trait is often what fuels his fire. In his own words, he's been blessed to meet many kind people, and should do his all to defend good. That is why he fights. That is why he delights in punishing demons.

Bio: Anderson was born an orphan in Europe. Raised in a Catholic-run orphanage, he was soon found to have a spark of devotion setting him apart from the other children. Carefully, he was guided to study, train, and pray harder than one would ever expect, and was ordained at a very young age. From there, he was drafted into the ranks of the Vatican's foremost Exorcists. Its secret legions consist of highly trained demon hunters equipped with blessed weapons. Anderson specifically was a young prodigy, and his single-minded devotion combined with constant demon-slaying and regular contact with divine artifacts even granted him a powerful blessing.
Now, with the balance of the world thrown out of order, he fights to bring peace to humanity, by eliminating demonic threats with extreme prejudice. God wills it.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
Deus Vult - The obligatory DT equivalent. Invokes the wrath of Heaven's mightiest warriors for a short time. A giant, spectral warrior angel appears behind the paladin, mimicking his moves. During this time, the Paladin himself takes on a golden aura, his weapons go ablaze, and he gains wings of light.

Style:
Crusader - The "default" set of moves, covering techniques used on foot.
Godspeed - Summons a holy motorcycle, allowing the Paladin to become a modern day cavalier. Changes the properties of certain moves and allows high speed.

Equipment: Anderson wields a variety of blessed weapons, passed down for centuries.

Michael - A set consisting of a gleaming longsword and sturdy shield. The former has an ornate crossguard and scripture etched onto the blade. The latter is adorned with a large crucifix, across which is inscribed "Quis ut Deus" and around which are paintings of various saints and martyrs.

Gabriel - A long, powerful lance with a shining white blade. It's enchanted that, when thrown, it and its wielder will be reunited.

Raphael - A longbow carved from an ancient tree used to lynch a martyr. It launches a storm of magically generated arrows.

Uriel - A frightening mace, with a head resembling a brazier that can extend on a long chain. Its sheer mass can pulverize sinners.

Techniques:

Michael
Cavalier - LVL 1 - Charges forward with a powerful thrust, skewering evil.
Stonewall - LVL 1 - Bashes an enemy with a powerful shield strike, knocking them away.
Castle - LVL 1 - A barrier of holy energy extends from the shield, protecting allies from harm.
Smite - LVL 1 - The shield combines with the sword and magically form a gigantic claymore, trading defense in exchange for the ability to punish evil without mercy.

Gabriel
Longinus - LVL 1 - Throws the lance at a high velocity, sticking into an enemy. Can be followed up by teleporting to the spear's location. (Gabriel is unusable until the secondary step is used)
War Dance - LVL 1 - Spins the spear in a wide arc around the body. Even surrounded, a paladin will not surrender.

Raphael
Artemis - LVL 1 - Fires three arrows in a wedge pattern. A technique developed to fend off armies.
Crescent Moon - LVL 1 - Fires a group of arrows upwards, landing down in a small area. Hunts down those that may hide their sins.

Uriel
Flagellation - LVL 1 - Twists the chain around an enemy, then yanks them closer. Evil cannot escape.
Immolation - LVL 1 - Shoots the head out at an enemy on a chain, then causes a fiery explosion before retracting. Lets sinners taste the Lord's wrath.

@IncredibleBee
Name, personality, upbringing, belief, faction... Aside from the weapons (and the lack of regeneration), this character is as close to a carbon copy of Alexander Anderson from Hellsing Ultimate as they come. I don't mean to criticize, but I think a level of originality makes for a more entertaining experience, both for you and everyone else.

Sevrin is a trace of that dude from Blazblue. Lmpkio's angel is literally just Kaworu from NGE.

@Hantu Kongkek
Never played Blazblue, and only watched a single episode of Neon Genesis

You got a problem with paladins?

@IncredibleBee
I have no problems with it. I'm just pointing out that it may not be fun for you or others to play a character that is pretty much taken directly out of a series. At least I find it far more entertaining to create a character from scratch, then continue to develop him/her as the RP goes on. If you're of a different opinion, then I won't try to convince you. Just throwing it out there :)

I'm, uh, pretty sure the chosen factions are there for a reason. Just gonna throw that out there. I mean, I'm sure you could still call him a Paladin, but his faction isn't an option for a reason I would imagine.

Are you saying the fun I'm having isn't real?

Alright, totally caught up on the story and positions of characters. Most of us have found the second seal. Cool deal. I'll start my first IC post soon as I can. Ace demon hunter Akoni is coming out of retirement, and it only took the end of the world!

I doubt thats what he meant. I personally, believe you should replace "Europe" with "Fortuna" and "Catholic Church" with "Order." My faction is pretty much empty and he seems to fit well.

Yeah, but I don't wanna be an Order of the Sword. I must show people the light of God.

Even if I'm alone, that doesn't matter. A paladin stands no matter the odds.

You seem to be missing the purpose and lore of this RP. The geography of the planet isn't even similar to Earth of today. Catholicism likely isn't even a thing anymore. So, with that said, the Order of the Sword is actually a pretty good fit for him. But again, we can't really make you do anything, as has been previously stated.

Ultimately it comes down to the lead GM, but I personally wouldn't approve of a character that's a carbon copy of someone from a popular franchise. But that's just me, we'll see what the GMs have to say.

Alright, underlings, hold your horses. There are only three people fit to pass judgment on character applications.

First off, it is regrettably true that my co-GMs have set precedence for very nearly copy-pasting existing characters into this RP. If not for my continuous nagging, Lmpkio's would have been even more egregious. So there's nothing to prevent an expy of Anderson from being introduced into this RP. But the fact remains that clear expies of existing characters are in, so there's no reason why you can't follow in their proud tradition. All I ask is that you change the name so it's not incredible blatant.

Secondly, I'm fine with characters being in other factions aside from the big ones listed in the RP. In fact, I'm very fine with it. Meanwhile, the 'geography' of the world is not, in fact, different from modern Earth. Catholicism would absolutely still exist, and Bee's character existing as not only a part but an exemplar of it is perfectly alright.

Bee, I hope you haven't gotten the wrong idea about this RP from the other players' nagging. I think it would be fun and interesting for all of us for your unique character to take the stage, so long as you change his name.

There's more Paladins besides Alexander Anderson. It's a pretty common archetype, extending back centuries.

Nah, the game looks good, even if there are a few naggers. I guess a name change is fair, but I still say it isn't a carbon copy of Anderson.
Maybe if I was playing a regenerator with hundreds of blessed bayonets, I'd see their point.

EDIT: Okay he's Antonio Hasta now.

@rivaan I'm down with that.
