Thanks. I just don't want to fight and argue and piss everyone off for something I can't have. I am an all or nothing guy, I don't usually compromise. I used to get angry and basically throw tantrums about it, but now I simply go away or stop trying if it might come to that. see ya.


It's about upholding balance, really. It's a pretty big thing when you have an RP with loads of combat in it.

I did tell him to read the OP carefully and what not, to be honest I didn't expect him to try to join when I showed off Kestrel's achievement section. :/ Maybe I should be a little more careful about doing that but the good thing, I did help Rtron a bit with his CS. He just has to get it done and post it... *teases*@Free, I don't know, I got you to comprise for Blood at least once with Grey so that's not completely true. Though there was a few rough patches.


Hah. Rtron is actually joining then? Looking forward it.

I don't want to sound like a bitch but life is pretty much about compromising. Those who don't are those who are left alone since people refuse to try to do anything with selfish, self-centered and egocentric brats. I know because I have one that's quite the same way quite close to me. At least Free is upfront about it, and I really like that! No-nonsense attitude. That's a good thing. As I say, not meaning to sound rude and annoying but if he says he's not willing to compromise, I don't think we should insist.

We have enough people as it is and we already know how fickle people can be when they are not 100% satisfied with what this is. Hell, even apparently 100% satisfied people are fickle and leave for God-knows-what-reason!!

I'm off to read 'n' post!!

Hey Hedya, you missed this:

~Oooh, we're famous, Mime chuckled to the mental link connecting the 4 spirits, unheard by their holders. But, we're probably the safest right now, sooo, I'd like to keep it that way. Get it? I'd fake knowing you if I have to~


Unless you didn't, then it's all fine.

Oh, I knew I forgot to do something; I wanted to clarify that Remia's ignoring anything else and she just keeps going. Sorry, I kind of wanted to create some "drama" there. (Okay not "drama" really but you know what I mean).

Here... Reconstructed McKenzi Bishop!

Name: McKenzi Bishop.
Appearance: Standing at roughly 5'9", this woman has a relatively lithe figure and long, raven black hair that flows to the mid-point of her back. Often found wearing baggy, thick clothing that can keep her warm in the cold, and although the specific articles vary from day to day, the same idea remains consistent throughout. Her most notable possessions are a hat with the shield insignia of her father's corporation, and a pair of black combat boots, one of which holsters a combat knife.

Her skin is pale as snow, and her eyes are sea green, often they look too warm to match her typically cold demeanour. If she wore more feminine clothing, a tan, and a smile, one might even be forgiven for finding her quite attractive, but as it presently stands, she's average at the best of times.

Although hidden from view, there's a small scar that runs across the lower left side of her belly, just shy of the bellybutton. Jester ended up leaving this behind on her when he committed his homicide-suicide in her third mission. A permanent reminder of his uncontrollable nature.
Biography: Split into two parts.


Branch: Research.

Holder: Bishop.
Spirit: Jester/Trickster. He goes by other names as well, but usually sticks with Jester, to keep things simple. Whether "he" is even a "he" or a "she" or an "it" is arguable, it seems to change its shape and form on a whim, usually taking the form of a court Jester only for Bishop's sake. He often hints at being far older and far smarter than he lets on, though his insanity makes any of his claims rather questionable. He is a ruthless sociopath who will torture and murder others for the sake of his own amusement, but usually tries to keep Bishop out of harm's way.

He is, ultimately, enigmatic and whimsical, and sees the human race as nothing more than an amusing distraction from... Whatever it was he was doing before.

Weapons/Spells:

Mind Play: Mind Play is, to put it simply, mind control. Jester and Bishop are capable of possessing a target based on its highest stat versus her spirit. If she succeeds, she takes control of the target, though there are things to keep in mind about this power.

The more powerful the target is in comparison to Bishop, the more deadly the wounds sustained by the target will be to Bishop as well. Thus, if Bishop is barely retaining control over someone, and that someone is injured, Bishop will also sustain a similar injury, the magnitude of which scales based on their power. This effect continues one post even after Bishop breaks control, so if she causes a target to jump off a cliff to its death, then lets go of control, she can still be harmed by this connection.

If Bishop's SPI isn't enough to overcome the target's defense stat, she can push herself a little further, and add 20% to her spi score for taking control over the target. (ex: 10 spi + 20% = 12 spi in practice.) However, in doing so, she focuses entirely on this act, and loses control over her own body in order to retain control over Jester, thus becoming extremely vulnerable. As well, wounds sustained by the target are nearly equally deadly to Bishop. If the target dies while under her control, she will likely die soon after. Alternatively, Bishop can also leave Jester in control to retain control over her own body, though he is a malevolent sociopath, and will likely relish the chance to harm her allies and her enemies, and civilians, indiscriminately. Bishop is the only thing he will not attack.

If the target dies while Bishop is controlling it without the 20% bonus, there's a two post cooldown before she can use Mind Play again due to trauma. If the target dies while Bishop or Jester is controlling it with the 20% bonus, she suffers severe mental trauma that debilitates her for one post, and cannot use Mind Play again for three posts, assuming she survives.

She can choose to possess an ally PC if they give her permission. They retain control of themselves. This is mainly used for stat booster, to help an ally get out of harm's way, or otherwise.
  • Stat Booster: Bishop can boost the weakest stat of a target she's chosen to use mind play on based on her spirit compared to the deficit. Specifically: Bishop's SPI - Target's weakest stat * 0.8. Example: Weakest stat is agility at 4. Bishop's SPI is at 12. 12-4=8. 8*0.8=6.4. Round down to 6. 4+6=10. She cannot use this ability in the same post that she takes control of a target.

    Both Stat Booster and Mind Play cannot be used with any of Bishop's other abilities, though they can be used with skills.

Surprise Party!: This oddly named power allows Bishop to turn herself or a target within eyesight invisible. This invisibility can be seen through by targets with superior spirit scores, or by powers that give a target some form of superior vision or sense of smell.
  • Mirror: Bishop can choose to use surprise party's invisibility effect to reflect part of the damage of an ability back at the user. The rest is sustained by Bishop. The target's SPI is used against hers to calculate the damage difference. Approximately 5% of the damage is reflected either towards Bishop or the target who casted the ability based on how much higher one is above the other. ex: If Bishop has 12 SPI, and the target sustaining damage from the reflection has 14 SPI, Bishop will sustain 60% of the damage, and the target will sustain 40% of it.

    Using Mirror breaks Surprise Party! And prevents it from being used for three posts.

Jester's Gift: Allows Bishop to afflict a target with some of Jester's madness. The effect is totally random and can vary from being minor or major, ranging from uncontrollable laughter to insane levels of rage, to pure unending terror, hallucinations, and more. It's up to the GM to decide how the power works. Targets with a high POW or SPI score in comparison to Bishop will resist this effect better than most. She can affect up to three targets with this power, but has to hit them one at a time. If she uses mind play on a target afflicted with Jester's Gift, she is affected by Jester's Gift to a lesser degree.
  • Bishop's Pain: Every target affected by Jester's Gift is riddled with extreme pain. The resistance stat is POW or SPI versus Bishop's SPI. The pain can be crippling. For every 2 SPI above the target's SPI or POW, the duration of the pain lasts an additional post. If Bishop's SPI is 10 points or higher than the target's resistance stat, the target is knocked unconscious from overwhelming pain.

    Using this removes the effects Jester's Gift has on the targets affected. While targets are still being affected by Bishop's Pain, Jester's Gift cannot be used on additional targets, unless a person is knocked unconscious by Bishop's Pain, in which case, they are no longer affected: They are unconscious.

    Bishop cannot use Bishop's Pain in the same post as using Jester's Gift. She can use one or the other per post, not both in the same post.

Skills:
PUNCH-2: "When things get desperate..."
SCAN-2: "I can't defeat an enemy I do not understand."
SPELLATK-1: "One empowered moment can be enough to overturn an empire."
TELEPATHY-1: "Jester's recent developments would be fascinating if it weren't for the fact that he can torture others with his incessant attempts at humour now."

Stats:

  • POW: 5

  • SPI: 16

  • AGI: 3



There. Kestrel can give it a look over, I made a few tweaks to shit so he may as well see if there's any problems, niet?

At least, if Bishop and Emily ever go on a mission, then Kestrel might get his wish for spirit interactions. I believe Cerberus and Jester were on that list, along with Cerberus and Medusa. XD

Rofl. I can see it now...

...Jester applauding Cerberus' ruthlessness, but finding his methods to be drab and without any colour or life to them, then giving him advice about what bright and shiny colours to wear instead of sheer, pure, nightmarish darkness.

All the while Emily listening to Cerberus snap and telling Jester to mind his own business. :P Oh boy, we have to aim to make this happen at some point.

Hey, just noticed this:

Suddenly a shriek, one they both realize might’ve been only either Mime or Arlette, had Nathair jerk his head towards the source. Quartz already explained with a slight annoyance. “It seems Remia found Arlette and Mime. After this, I really need to sit the doppleganger and Remia down to explain what ‘covert’ means… You think with his ability, he would know its meaning by now.


So, which reasoning would you like to use?
- Quartz notices all along from the beginning
- Quartz had seen Mime's 'real' form

I was aiming more from Quartz had seen Mime shift, outside battle, but not seem his real form. Mainly if Quartz and Mime discovered a certain Library employee who was mean to Arlette, I can't see Quartz allowing said Library to get away with that and would likely ask Mime's help in pranking, which was when he seen Mime's doppleganger ability. Other the that, his other abilities would likely come as a surprise. If you would like, Mime could've have transformed in Quartz sometimes which might be a fun memory for Lobby or something to play out. If you rather, I can edit it and omit it a bit. Either way doesn't bother me.

Oh no, that is a nice idea. This is a tiny problem anyway, well, it's just, what reason Quartz has to call Mime a he when most of the time he saw the latter was when he was walking around as Arlette's twin?

I want to post for Charles, but I don't like posting my characters separately. Can you work "Sophia stared at Charles in surprise, this being the first time she had her own body." into your next post Kes?

In Aztec mythology, Quartz was known for shape shifting in his former life and past, taking on many human forms from male to female in a few stories. He's using male because he was like Mime thus it's more of a connection thing. Another possibility is that he doesn't know Mime's real natural and thus refers to Mime as him due to someone telling him it's polite when one doesn't know the person's gender to use the masculine pronoun. A final possibility is that he could've first met Mime in a male shape before he knew that Mime was Arlette was his holder. :p We only established how Nathair knew Arlette and Mime but never how they met.

Hence why I asked you which reasoning would you like to use:
1) He knows all along (or variation of it as you said)
2) He saw it.
