okay okay! I've got a word doc up and I'm typing actual words now! *tappa tappa tappa* see?

Lies.

LIES AND HERESY.

*Frowns briefly at this.* .. don't...know...

On a TOTALLY unrelated note... TGIF!

I'm already on Saturday here :/

A kitsune is never late. Nor is he early. He posts precisely when he means to! *looks seriously before starting to laugh a little*

Okay okay. I've posted. I needed to gather my thoughts a bit to remember what I had planned for everyone but I'm back on track and ready to go.

*Nods and sits back in my chair, sipping mint tea quietly.*

Still waiting on Har to post in response to Fiora...

And I sort of assumed Macto and Munus would be the ones putting their heads together to plan a war, So I reached out to both of them. Feel free to add or change them around.

^Sends a team of ninja to find Har and 'persuade' him to craft a post. :-)

Someone will come to rescue Fiora... eventually... once someone realizes she's gone (at this point probably Neon)

Well. After some well executed excuse crafting, I have managed to get shit done for Uni. Now to get shit done for this. Faeces.

Oh gosh! I need to post! OwO

Yeah so, no one(Kitsune*cough*) never told me if there is or is not forbidden runes around. Or have been.

There probably are, especially when it comes to things that are deemed morally wrong like summoning spirits of the dead or whatever (not that it would stop some of our characters)

Protip: Use common sense, if it seems wrong and taboo, it probably is. Blood runes are a little iffy though, since there are really innocuous uses for it as well (ie, privacy runes or whatever that only use a single drop of blood) We never really had a black and white discussion on what is or is not acceptable in the world and we just sort of use creative license. Seraphim are generally distrustful of anything that has to do with darkness or shadow magic, or deals with the dead and spirits directly. I imagine blood magic would have something of a similar treatment.

Stay away from babies, kittens, or sex rituals (unless it involves spectacular sex) and you should be fine. We've already pushed the virgin sacrifice boundary already so uhm, whatever floats your boat and doesn't get us all banned - go ahead

kassa, Harbringer and I are the experts on the matter of introducing weird as fuck, balls deep in blender fucked up things to the RP so yeah... any time we can help.

Actually, in the history of Feral, anything that had to do with really gruesome or violent ways to kill people basically originated from our characters alone... pretty much

Yeah, 'kay, let's give it a shot again then.*coughcough, Mario voice* let's a go!

Name: Lazarus Malicechalice

Nickname: The Five Souls

Species: TBR

Age: Unknown

Hair Color: ??

Hair Style: ??

Eye Color: green, glowing from within his helmet.

Skin Color: pale

Height: 6'16

Body Build: Athletically muscular

Clothing: Red hardleather armor with chainmail shirt, plate boots and racers along with eastern style iron helmet with pair of elk horns on the sides and a faceguard, all of the bits and pieces of his armor have been runed and they are runed well. His armor looks like it has seen it's share of fights, and taken it's share of damage during them, yet only his hands are exposed, and that's not due any form of damage, but simply because they never had any cover.

His eight swords are strapped to his armor, three swords on the each side of his waist, and his named blades in a cross on his back.

Physical Quirks: He's younglooking fellow really, atleast from his face when it's unmasked, and his armors seems to be fixated to his body, yet moving and flexing perfectly along with his movement.

Weapons: Two straight swords(one named Zombie, runed), two katanas, two scimitars and two broadswords(one named Crusader, runed).

Background: Lazzarus is known as a bountyhunter, and the only known practitioner of the eight sword style around. He has been around for a long time, capturing and executing wanted criminals, usually in public whenever it is possible that is. No one seems to know where he is actually from, he just kind of appeared one day, and from that day onward he has been, and seemingly stays around.

Extra: He's not too talkative usually. Maybe that is because no one usually dares to approach him for one reason or another, maybe it is the fact that he usually approaches people he intends to slay and collect the bounty. There is also something very eerie about him that keeps most normal people as far away from his presence as possible.
The way his Eight Swords Style works circles around two swords at the time, usually two different kind swords, the style he fights with changes along with the different combinations of the used swords. His named swords that are rumoured to be indestructible, be it true or now, he rarely uses them in something petty as he calls the bandits and criminals he hunts down.

While seeming he's simply blood- and moneythirsty hunter, he can actually, and most of the time there is rather calm person with elderly wisdom and also a bit of poet withing him, but the latter is only when the time and place is very right.

Even though he could possibly make a good leader, he works alone because subordinates are pain in the ass, according to him. Why not call them partners then would someone ask, according to him, he has yet to find someone worthy of that title.

His staightsword Zombie has perfectly balanced, sharpened and measured blade, it's hilt seems to be made out of a bone of unknown being. The sword emits malicious and threatening aura, it feels..hungry perhaps, and is rumoured to slowly kill it's carrier. This rumour has yet to be confirmed, since anyone seen wield this blade has been slain or deceaced under perfectly logical circumstances.

The broadsword Crusader has one of the sharpest blades seen yet, the whole sword has been clearly designed to cleave through light and medium armor. The blade glows slightly red and seems to be dripping, but nothing ever reaches the ground. It's hilt is simply cold steel, no special decorations there. The Crusader is said to be the sword of a protector, but in the end, a sword is what it's owner makes of it.

His style consist four main weapon combinations, he is rarely seen using two swords of same type at the same time. His main combinations are:
Sky cleaver, combination of a scimitar and a katana. During this “stance” he feocuses on fast and heavy attacks in order to break the opponent's defenses and cut him down as fast as possible.

Steadfast Demon, a broadsword and a scimitar. This is a defensive posture, when like this Lazarus will not back up one step and will only block incoming attacks, and countering after a succesfull block.

Tigerhound, katana and a straightsword. Lazarus often relies to this combination while facing multiple opponents at once. He can either start spinning a small circle, delivering a heavy blow with his straightsword to stagger the opponent and finish them with a katana, or simply fighting to two directions at the same time, aiming to finish off one opponent at the time with his straightsword.

Midnight firefly, straightsword and a scimitar. This stance only focuses on disarming opponents, with either knocking or yanking their weapons away, or then cutting their hands off with upward strike from the scimitar, while the straightsword holds the opponet locked in place. In theory atleast.

It is said that if The Five Souls rhyme, someone dies. And if he pulls out his prized swords, everything ends, but since apparently people have witnessed that, the latter is exaggeration, and it simply means that MANY people die instead of one. Now no one has ever witness him rhyme and use his swords at the same time, who knows what might happen then.

There are people who claim to know where Lazarus The Five Souls is from, what he was and how this all happened. But if one takes their time to listen to every single person claiming that, they'll soon learn that each story differs heavily, and thus is rendered near useless. Lazarus himself will not comment on that, should someone dare to approach and ask. But he might reward such bravery with the finest ale around, if there is any around that is.

His nickname The Five Souls comes from the way he fights, each time he picks up a different pair of swords the way he moves, fights and acts changes drastically, as if a completely different person would've appeared into the field of battle out of blue, while the original one would disappear.

Lazarus is also an alcohol appreciator in his own personal way, more than drinking that much himself, he usually treats others around him. Unless he finds good ale. Either way, he seems to keep perfect control of himself no matter how much he drinks, which he apparently does just for the taste.

So as we covered via PM this all looks good and I'm looking forward to seeing his five swords style in action. Have you put any thought as to what your guy might be doing in Adalrich or why he would be interested in the group (either joining, finding, hunting down, etc, etc)?

Interesting character there, mhmm. :-)

@WK: I should have a reply posted soon.

Well his reason of being there is same as why he'd be in anywhere else, wherever you go, there's bound to be someone worth something around and wanted.

As for the group..wel I'll come up with something, how hard can it be?....Rrrrright?

Kaplah!

And just like that it seems it's my turn again. Time to get the old notepad out and *throws smoke bomb and runs away*
