The world is in trouble, and the waves are upon us. Within two weeks the world will sink into crisis. As the nations gathered together in Melromarc the various high priests, and nobles of the factions gather together in an attempt to summon forth a group of heroes from another world. Since the holy weapons only choose other worlders as their wielders, in order to raise a hero capable of counteracting the waves the natives must realize a ritual to summon a person that the holy weapon chooses as worthy to be a hero. This ritual can only be performed using fragments of holy relics and at designated times, and although shouldn't be the case, can also be performed even when the world is in peace.

With the oncoming onslaughter of chaos, and destruction the nobles have little other choice but to band together to try, and fix the world. However despite this diplomatic ties are still no the best, and some nations have yet to gather behind one banner. With the call for heroes sent out who, and what will happen in the time to come?

Rules:

1. All Standard roleplay rules are in effect.
2. I am allowed to decline something, or reject it for any reason. If I feel something doesn't fit the roleplay I won't allow it.
3. This universe is different from canon. No canon characters shall appear unless requested. Some rules will be tweaked in-verse, and not everything about the shield hero continuity will stay the exact same for roleplay nessesarity reasons.
4. This will be a fairly linear story players will likely not die unless they do something stupid, the same goes for some of the villains.
5. The Four Heroes Must have the canonical set of weapons the shield, spear, sword, or bow. NOT THE EXACT WEAPON I mean they can't be the hammer hero, or the musket hero for example. Furthermore all weapons must be appropriate for the setting meaning no guns.
6. You must post on the OOC, and have the character approved before joining the IC. Failure to do so will be reported to the mods, and summarily ignored. Players who fail to post after a week without notice will have their characters executed, or sent off.
7. Hate/Anger aspects like the dark side of Naofumi's shield must be achieved in rp, and granted by the GM(s). You may not start with it, and may not even come to fruition.
8. Players may be from outside of Japan if you're a hero. I won't be restricting us to one location primarily because the weapons auto translate. Players who start as actual beings of the isekai world can be from any nation, and or race that is sentiment and not a demon.

So basically her sub-race can transform into a mermaid in the water? @Guardian Angel Haruki I'm not sure if races work like that in the shield hero universe but I'm willing to bend it as there won't be too many, if any, occasion when we'll be by a large amount of water to make such a thing truly viable.

@vancexentan Thank you. ^_^

@Guardian Angel HarukiAlright well aside from cleaning up the CS I don't see anything wrong with it if that was you confirming my former statement. I'll accept the Cs.

@vancexentan Yes, I was confirming your previous statement regarding her demi-human subrace. Sorry for the confusion. ^^"

I'll clean up the CS and prepare it for the character thread.

Throwing my hat in as a party member for one of the heroes! Her intent is to not stick with any one hero (though that might just end up happening anyways due to reasons within the RP). A simple TL;DR, Auriel grew up with the belief that she was meant to assist the heroes, and has trained for just that purpose.

@Whoami I'm not sure if there is a precedent for flight that isn't a very high tier spell, or something along the sort I'm fine with the character otherwise. I do have a bone to pick when it comes to flight as it gives players, and npc's a variety of ways to get breathing room, and other advantages. I think the pope may have used flight maybe Filo but she's an actual bird creature queen.

Also like I've stated in the above paragraph there hasn't been a first wave.

Also like I've stated in the above paragraph there hasn't been a first wave.

Woops! I'll fix that part lol

As for the flight, perhaps the wings were injured and haven't fully healed yet? So it would be something she was capable of in the past, and can be something she can do in the future?

EDIT: Fixed the first wave tidbits to be just another incursion.

Again I'm honestly not to thrilled about the concept of freely enabling flight but I'll allow it as its a maybe and can be used for plots later. I'll accept it.

@vancexentan I promise that when it becomes available, it wont be abused :D

I'm gonna make a guy who runs around barefoot screaming bloody murder with an axe

Just saying

Biography:

Flin was born to a family of decent standing. His father was a hard-working man, always doing his best to provide for his family. He worked in construction, which got him a good bit of money. His mother, however, was rather fragile in mind and body, making it difficult to keep up with any kind of job. As a result, her husband was required to bear the load, to earn money for the family. He did so with pride, however. They weren't exactly poor, but they certainly didn't have much money left at the end of the month. It was enough to survive. They'd always been kind to Flin, despite everything. And Flin was more than happy to help around the house.

Flin was quite the bratty individual at his high school in America, and was one of the coolest kids. Or at least, that's what he told himself. He wasn't always this way, though. When he was younger, he was more of a geek and hung out with the more anti-social, but nicer kids. But he was always picked upon by those who came from wealthy families, those who acted like they were better than him. His friends cared for him, but they never helped him when he needed it the most. The bullying lasted for several years. It was rough, but it taught Flin one important lesson. The only one who could truly help him, was himself.

After that, Flin began to change. He would start lashing out at bullies more violently, and be by himself. He was still trying to be the best person he could be, only fighting back out of self-defence. In essence, he was a kind person, but rough around the edges. After one of many fights, he was told to write 40 pages of "Treat others with respect." He chose to do to in the school's library, where it was nice and quiet. After a while, he decided that it was time for a break, and began to search through bookcases for interesting books. Eventually, he grabbed a strange book, and then it happened...

@Jensoman Alright he seems a bit one note (don't mean that as an insult in anyway) but there's nothing wrong with that I'll allow the spear hero.

Thanks! Glad to be a part of this! Imma put the CS in the Characters tab then. Whatcha mean, though?

Do you mean that he only excells in one area? Or personality wise?

Don't worry, I'll try to improve on that! Depending on what ya mean @vancexentan

@Jensoman You can send it to the Cs section if I accept it which I have in your case.

As for the character I meant his given personality backstory speaking. Its just seems to me that he is 'nerd who has enough of bullying'. The only thing separating him from Kirito is that he doesn't have a harem.

I mean, I'm sure that's how a lot of people feel when they're bullied, but point taken

Don't worry, I'll be sure not to make him a Kirito lol. Running around alone would be foolish.

He won't be going solo, it's just more like people needing to earn his respect sort of thing.

Fair enough but the intention was to keep everyone in one party, and separate them for missions as needed. I don't really have the energy to plan out multiple missions which is why I'm still looking for a co-gm to help plan missions.

Yeah, no worries bud

I'll make sure he sticks with everyone else, I apologise if I gave off the wrong impression there. I enjoy teamwork a whole lot

He might not like being around strangers, but that's just how his personality is. He's smart enough to realise that running off on his own won't do anyone any good

That way, I also won't be giving you any extra work when it's not needed
