1. Love the idea, that should be great fun. xD 2. Great, and of course, I'd even suggest she can look like a variety of girls too. 3. That sounds reasonable to me. :) 4. Ok, up to you. 5. So reading up on it, historically axes have been up to 6lbm in weight. Given how demons are stronger than humans in general, I'd say it'd be ok for her to comfortably wield a 10-12lbm. I'm trying to think of enchantments that could make something lighter for a wielder but nothing comes to mind from the top of my head. Do you insist that it's mass-based? I think it'd be easier for a sort of safety-lock spell to exist that allows only her to use the axe fullstop. And maybe the special thing about her is that such spells don't work on her in general as she can get "under the skin" of items as well as people?
Calling for papers by 31st, guys. Let's try to stick to some sort of schedule so we can get the ball rolling before shit hits the fan (aka the new school year).
Also Andri's Instrument is finally up. (NO INNUENDO INTENDED, IT JUST HAPPENED!!! XD; )
@Lucius CypherAt a glance you're good to go. ^ ^ Feel free to start, if I notice anything a bit later I'll let you know.
BTW if she has a perma-chastity belt, she won't be able to have "fun" at will, unless she knows a helpful angel, right? (Just in regards to her general activity involving sex).
I'd like to see her ask Lucien to undo the spell for her. XD
And yeah, I'm aware. I hope that it would help bring Fran into plots and give her a reason to interact with people, on the off chance that someone would be willing to undo her chastity belt.
Guys who haven't posted yet, do that at your leisure but I'll be moving things along slowly as I only have a couple of days before I leave you all to your devices for almost a month.
As some of you know already, our country now has a name and it's Estra. It's located in north-western Europe and the time indicated in my ast post is a hint on where it is exactly, as well as the fact that Loom has an ocean on the east border of the city. If you figure it out, you'll also figure out what language all of our characters (probably) speak.
Anyway, with the technicalities, unless anyone minds, we'll say it's mid-November and if possible, let's try to post day by day (IC time; as in we're all posting for the same day whenever possible).
I'm just talking to myself here but I don't know if you'd notice if I edited an old post, so I need to make a new one. A few small alterations of the previous lore include:
1. Lily Quarin goes back to the original Lily Quann. 2. Hell hosts way more than four lords, the kingdoms and tribes being more numerous than before 3. The things Szayeis and Darius did for the Academy (and in regards to the incident between Maroon, Lily, Szayeis and Hazumi) are now Ein's. It's a rather quick write-up on who he is, but with the little time I have, this is the best I can do right now. As I don't expect him to have much to do with the other characters, I don't see a problem with keeping it simple but if you want some more extensive info, let me know and I'll try.
The Academy’s new headmaster is called Valaniein Tanirea Manis Karelisa or just Ein for short. He was a lord back in Hell but stepped away when the Surface became accessible, in order to seek new knowledge and a fresh perspective, He first came to the Surface a little over 200 years ago and has been involved with Master Melody’s ever since. He was there to help with the communication between Lily Quann and Hazumi when the Academy’s functions were changed at the end of Judas’ war, and he was there to take over when the previous headmaster resigned her position after the Illuminati assault.
Ein isn’t overly ambitious so he never tried too hard to achieve a status in Hell but a few hundred years spent as an incubus have changed his perspective and made him long for more. He worked on his evolution quietly, pleasing everyone who’d venture into his lair and hunting with the other incubuses until he eventually accumulated enough essence to get out of that cave and the lifestyle. His most recent incarnation is that of a draconic being that looks almost human save for a few key features. He is taller than most men, standing at just over two meters, and has a strong but lean figure that’s usually clad in some regal looking attire. His whole body and most of his face is covered by tough dark blue scales that look black in artificial light and are more than capable of repelling a bullet. Next up are his weapons - aside from the talong on his fingertips, Ein has a strong reptilian tail covered in spines that he uses in a variety of situations as easily as he’d use his hands, if not more. And lastly, levitating over the thigh-length red hair is an ever-present flame that looks like a halo to most. It spins over his head and seems to reflect his moods without him even realising. Ein’s character is rather mild and diplomatic but one shouldn’t be fooled by the good manners - his body is a very fine weapon and one would be foolish to underestimate that.
Social Status: After graduating the academy Ian spent much of his time running missions for the academy as a musician. With the disappearance of Iris and then Sam; Ian began running his own agenda of missions. Due to his more and more brutal methods and unsanctioned missions Ian has become a social pariah and a sort of necessary evil.
Relations: Ian has few if any friends as his multiple personalities tend to cause problems with anyone he becomes close to. With the disappearance of Sam and Iris, Ian has largely given up relations.
General Activity: Whenever Ian is not training, playing pubs, or busy brooding Ian spends the majority of his time running missions. With Lazarus retirement and the disappearance of Hazumi Ian’s missions have become increasingly desperate and frantic.
Abilities: Filipino Stick Fighting- Ian carries a pair of Asps (collapsable police batons) which he is an expert in using in tandem during a fight. As a child of two parents who were never home and a trust fund child Ian had to find ways to entertain himself one of which was learning martial arts which included Filipino stick fighting as well as the sword art behind the stick fighting. With his completion of academy training Ian upgraded the sticks to a pair of traditional filipino blades in addition to collapsable Asps.
Bok Fu Do- Growing up on the west coast of america meant Ian had access to a form of Western martial arts known as Bok Fu Do which takes the best of several different martial arts and Incorporates them into one effective aggressive martial art originally developed by Richard Lee a student of the Tracey Kenpo system.
Paramilitary Academy Training- Ian finished his time at the academy and came out as an incredibly trained operative for the academy. The presence of Solus Grim at the academy as a combat instructor combined with Lazarus lead to Ian being trained to the highest level in martial arts and military tactics.
Fidrieon is a two piece nickel plated flute giving it a dark black sheen however due to the fact that its a Fragment it also functions and a makeshift escrima stick which is often what Ian is forced to use when combating the supernatural as shifting from playing Fidrieon to fighting with his batons is usually difficult.
Fragment Abilities
Chromatic Fall: By overblowing through a full chromatic fall Ian can force individuals and objects around him away from him. The louder the fall the harder the push. The greater the range the longer the push lasts
Space chord: Ian plays a series of notes which Fidrieon holds, the notes are purposefully dissonant and resound off of each other cause extreme pain in individuals hearing them.
Sharp: Ian invests essence in Fidrieon and the melodies he plays can physically cut his opponents via directed essence expended from Fidrieon
Circular Breathing: By playing a single sustained note Ian can hold an individual in place so long as he continues to play the note.
Growl: By playing a melody and then humming a different set of notes while playing the melody Ian can strike fear into the hearts of those around him causing them to feel the overwhelming need to run from him and the sound of Fidrieon
Fragment Personality: Fidrieon’s personality goes by the name Koshmar and is a (mostly) functioning secondary personality with likes and dislikes. However Koshmar suffers from a moderate form of Sociopathy and Ian suspects that he is responsible for more than a few murders. Koshmar does not normally speak to Ian. When he’s awake.
Equipment: Aside from Fidrieon Ian carries a pair of collapsible metal police batons on his lower back, a .45 caliber Springfield SXD Sub Compact Double stacked handgun. An antiquated weapon in this day and age but very few argue with its agressive nature when it’s in their face Ian also owns a .300 Winchester Magnum rifle with a 22-inch barrel, for those hard to get to individuals.
Namshiel the Thorned Hunter: A Demon mask which houses an ancient Demon from the depths of Hell. The creature is capable of transforming Ian in a supernatural humanoid hunter with increased, speed, senses, strength and durability. Namshiel also has the unfortunate side effect of reducing Ian’s ability to tell friend from foe.
Personality: Ian suffers from a phobia known as Oneirophobia or the fear of dreams. Fidrieon’s personality, Koshmar, manifests in Ian’s nightmares. While Koshmar does not have an actual form it takes the form of whatever nightmare Ian is having (Ian never dreams he only has nightmares). While Ian is trapped in this nightmare or the deep sleep that occurs after the nightmare Koshmar is free for the next eight to twelve hours to take control of Ian’s body. While this makes most think Ian suffers from multiple personality disorder this isn’t actually the case. Koshmar is not a part of Ian’s personality it is actually a separate entity.
Koshmar is a socially graceful, predatory individual that loved tormenting Ian psychologically. Since Koshmar was crushed by Ian and Iris psyche Koshmar has become more docile and eager to help Ian. Many suspect that he is actually trying to manipulate Ian but Ian has grown accustomed to Koshmar’s presence
Biography: Ian is a rich American kid who grew up as an only child in a family where both his parents worked and generally left him to his own devices. Ian never attended High school though as his parents pulled him from school after junior high as they had lost faith in the education system. Ian was privately educated all through highschool and since his parents generally only directed the core curriculum. As a result Ian took up music and Martial Arts to fill his spare time. Up until this point Ian had been a bit of a spoiled brat but when he started training in his martial arts that was quickly beaten out of him and his current set of character traits started to develope as his martial skills started to do the same. After six years of training every single day for between three and five hours Ian had achieved his sixth degree in Bok Fu Do. Ian’s rise through the ranks was unprecedented, especially given that in tandem he had been studying street survival techniques and Filipino stick fighting. When he turned 18 his parents were ready to ship him off to a private college to get a degree in some buisness useful subject however Ian refused and instead was admitted to the Academy where he has been studying for the last year.
After meeting and falling in love with Lazarus’ daughter Iris; Ian graduated from the Academy and originally ran missions to assist the academy. Following the disappearance of Hazumi and the academy forbidding him from going after Sam; Ian hit upon a different mission. While he never gave up on Sam the appearance of Lashiel. Much of Ian’s last year and a half have been spent countering the terrorist Lashiel’s moves as his leads on the location of Hazumi, Iris and Sam long since dried up.
