[OOC] Magical Corruption (A Magical Girl RP)

[Noxx]

@RiverMaiden hmm i wouldn't actually call it an auto hit or power play because Terra did connect with something that was in her direct hit box range, if you're in the air and connect with something that can suspend itself in said air then that thing pushes forward you would naturally bounce off unless you can fly yourself which i don't belive Terra can the rest was a reaction; as it is Terra is completely unharmed Nelly took all the damage so in a sense i kinda killed my own character a little

[RiverMaiden]

@Noxx
Terra can fly, how else could she have reached her portal to london? But, I see your point. I'd say you should talk with @kusanagifire about it, since Terra is their character, not mine.

[Noxx]

@RiverMaiden Terra is really strong I just assumed she Hulked her way there lol

[RiverMaiden]

@Noxx
You might be right, but I guess I also assumed that all magical girls could fly *shrug*

[Cuccoruler]

Yes knowing the planet doesn't really help in knowing the setting (and with an underscore "e"?)...

EDIT:
I'm specifically looking for information on the state of said planet. Magic and demons are a thing, Could discern at least that much from the first post. Could also make out that it's reasonably modern enough that "apartments" would be mentioned in some of the character sheets.

There are still lingering questions though. Like are the demons and magic users the only "supernatural" thing in the world it's set in. A number of character sheets have mentioned sprites and spirits, so while I'm going to assume that supernatural things other than demons and magic users and magical beings do exist.

And possibly the most important question... How privy are the rest of the world to this supernatural shenanigans? "In the human world most consider these damages as natural phenomenon or rather just full vandalism." With that remark in mind I'd go out on a limb that there's a sizable amount of people, normal or otherwise who would know of these things...

@ACHTUNG

anything super natural goes under the name of magic here, just try and make things less complicated. People are allowed to take liberties in creating characters. And as I said before. most normal people have no idea what is going on.
I'm a bit under the weather so I'm afraid I can't answer you to best of my ability but as of now that's the best I can do.

@Cuccoruler

It's not really the character creation I was too worried about. It's just that I had a hell of a difficult time imagining the world when it lacked a great deal of description on the first post. Now I have a better picture of it but that was only after a bit of light information digging.

So how does a character who has supernatural abilities but is not aware of the larger picture? What I have in mind is someone who's going to be like...

"I'm here thinking that this was a nice party piece for all this time and now it turns out there's been demons and other magic shit!? Bloody hell... I didn't know I was living under a figurative rock all this damn time. Got a lot of crap to catch up on..."

I'm terribly sorry coz I literally lack words on how to describe this character archetype... Or maybe I do and I just forgot...

[kusanagifire]

She can fly. I'll just ignore that post then.

[ACHTUNG]

Began reading the IC's first post to get an idea of what's going on and straight away, these supernatural things are serious business...

She followed the demon through the portal and was over London and then a few moments later she and the Demon were close enough (or over) the channel that the Demon actually fell in it... Like... Holy Hell That's like 70 miles (or 40 if you count the wide mouth of the Thames part of the channel) in seconds... That's 144,000 to 254,000 miles an hour (And I'm using Imperial coz... well it's in London)

That... or I'm overthinking things... Hopefully the latter...

[Noxx]

@kusanagifire Like why, Its not like it'll be outlandishly hard to rewrite i honestly all id have to do it take out the bit where i relocated Terra Because its only natural any animal would snap back if you just punched it

[kusanagifire]

@Noxx Because you haven't edited that post or anything.^^;

There was no chance for me to react to any of the event, starting from the snake suddenly trying to bite my character. She could have reacted in a variety of ways once the snake retaliates, like flying away, punching it, jumping down its gullet and doing the macarena, etc. If you had wanted to do something large with multiple actions like this, perhaps a collab post would be better?

[Cuccoruler]

I can understand that this is unfair to some of you. But I do allow auto hits so long as both players consent to the auto hit.

[Noxx]

@kusanagifire Oh if thats the issue lol easy 5 seconds of rewritting less time than it takes for me to die to a boss in dark souls gimmie a second....five of them

[kusanagifire]

I feel you. Dark souls bosses kills me a lot too ;w;

Especially those two idiots in Anor Londo.

[Noxx]

Done...Terra unharmed unmoved and I get to keep my post noticeable and relevant

[ACHTUNG]

Read the to the last bit of the IC... And probably should look back again for that rewrite... Seeing the current character roster and the ability to take liberties... Well time to flesh out my "living under a rock" character...

[AtomicNut]

Everybody, be prepared to roll SAN. :P

I did it.

[ACHTUNG]

Bit of a rough draught but should work...

Main theme was definitely history... Which is why I've made it such an irony that this character wouldn't know about something as serious as like literally the plot and events of this story... But then again a main point about these things as described was that "Most" people don't know about it...

Don't worry bout it, I'd try to remember ya!

Name:

ISKA B. AVEROFF

Age:

2526

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Personality:

Frank but still with a hint of waywardness in her speech patterns. Generally sociable and often friendly. Not terribly great at conversations however. Can be loud and can be naughty. (If I add any more to this it's gonna be a character trait instead of a personality trait... Said traits are described below)

Character traits:

She's particularly neutral, but that doesn't mean she's not going to do anything for the benefit of herself... Remember she's going to be alive forever, and while her mind might give out before the universe goes poof, If what you're going to do is going to make her time here more crappy than it already is, then she's going to damn well do something about it.

She has never met another immortal before, or at least a similarly long lived being that she can relate and talk to... Like really, she can't talk to them 6000 year old trees, even though they're actually older than she is... As such what kindness she's found in herself drives her to prolong the life of a lot of people she meets... She'd save someone even if it means she has to go through the pain of death...

While she is afraid of the fact that she will outlive any friend she makes, she still cherishes that memory, even if she's liable to forget at some point in her endless life.

Related to the point above, her recent (relatively speaking, she started doing it a few hundred years ago) strive for intellect is due to her self appointed purpose of just preserving such knowledge and achievements of humans along with any memories she makes along the way.

She takes a practical and often rational outlook in most things.

Gimmick/Theme behind Powers:

Self Destruction...

Psychological weakness:

Can get really cranky, especially when a past, unsavory memory decides to remind her that it happened. Really the human mind wasn't meant to take two and a half millennia of experiences especially when those include dying, in many colourful varied and horrific ways... It doesn't help that any friend she's ever made before, she had to leave behind.

Powers:

"Oh yay... I get to do this part myself... What ya say this is 4th wall breaking? It's fine...

Okay so my defining supernatural aspect is... I am IMMORTAL... Insert generic evil laugh here... And yeah, sounds awesome, I certainly did think so the first ten years after becoming one... And then I died... Yup, you read that right, I'm an Immortal that dies... Turns out my form of Immortality is really retarded, might as be a cruel joke than an actual gift... Say I get stabbed, and if that doesn't get any medical attention, I'd die from either losing too much blood or internal bleeding... Then after I die, I pop into existence into the world, as naked as I was born and here I am looking at my previous lifeless body, lying in a pool of my own blood. And as if that's not horrific enough, My new body still has lingering agony from what killed the last one...

An interesting thing I found about my body however is that my blood has a restorative effect but it's nowhere near what you'd expect of immortals of legend. Lop my arm of and that's not growing back... Cut me or stab me, and it does only take hours instead of days to heal, any worse than that and I'd probably be better off dying and getting a fresh-ish body... Now I cannot make someone else Immortal and I'm sure I don't want to since this just terrible, I could still help rejuvenate them with my blood.

As if there wasn't enough bad things about this already, I still have caveats... Since I became Immortal when I was twenty two summers old and back then I was concerned about being ladylike and beautiful, not surviving till the end of time... When I get reborn I'm put back to the state I was then, so any muscle mass I've built up with the previous body is about as useless as it could be...

If you want to be immortal... Just make sure it's not like mine, coz this literally sucks arse... At this point I actually think that the Ambrosia I ate was rotten...

Aside from that, I've used my vast if not pockmarked knowledge to figure out a way to be able to defend myself especially when freshly reborn since I would be completely nude and the only resource available to me is my own body... Martial arts can only get me so far... I basically studied science to learn magic, yes it's retarded I know but if you ain't got any spells to start with and the only resource you have is your own body then the best news to hear is the relationship between mass and energy...

Yes I literally annihilate the atoms of the cells of my own body to get short intermittent boosts in energy, far more energy than a normal human's metabolism... Far FAR more...But hey, what have I got to lose, If I'm desperate enough to use this then I'm probably going to die if I don't use it as well. Damned if I do, Damned if I don't... Oh and yes... it's VERY PAINFUL... I have a high pain tolerance from a lot of dying but literally turning my body into energy, atom by atom ranks as one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. Convert ALL my atoms to energy and I'm basically a bomb...

Direct any queries about further details to my creator and author... yes it's still 4th wall breaking I know..."

History:

Born in one of the Greek city states in 510 B.C. Iska B. Averoff, who most definitely had a different name back then was one of the Pythia, otherwise known today as the Oracle of Delphi. Supposedly able to see visions sent by the gods. Though she has no doubt that it was true since this is when a dove delivered to her an ambrosia. Quite literally the food of the gods.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure that dove gave me a rotten ambrosia!!!"

She soon got to test her supposed immortality during the September 21st Persian sack of Athens... Without going into details, she get's assaulted, and then killed... That's when she found the horrific truth about her supposed gift... She spent a good hour and a half staring at her own corpse both amazed and horrified.

This started a gradual change in her. Her unique if not terrible form of immortality and the fact that the last twenty three hundred years weren't particularly favorable for women turned her from a delicate priestess and oracle to an emotional nervous wreck. A great amount of hardships and multiple deaths beat her, but it did not break her. She recovered, to suffer anew. And this terrible cycle continued on and on till the turn of the 19th century where she actually managed to not die for it's duration.

At that point she was barely the person she was. She behaved differently, she spoke differently, yet she still looked as she did the moment she swallowed the ambrosia. This was the start of her pursuit of proper intellectual knowledge. While she had absorbed the teachings, culture, beliefs, wisdom and knowledge of the ages past, she never made it her agenda. Now however, be it an epiphany or just a random decision, she started striving for knowledge. Put her immortality to some use other than just getting by through the ages. Someone who would at least try to remember and preserve through her being the memories and achievements of humans.

She continued this well into modern times, She went to universities, studied everything from history to chemistry and even penned some books under her current alias. It was also thanks to this newfound knowledge that she was able to create a spell that directly converted the user's matter into energy. Something she could call her own, not just some rotten fruit that bestowed flawed gifts...

@achtung
It's a really well made character. But I'm not so sure about how it would fit in with this rp.
I mean unless she is actually a magical girl, there isn't much I can do with her.

[ACHTUNG]

@Cuccoruler

And thus came a more important question I should have asked when I stumbled in here... How does one become one of the Magical Children... Like at least the Demon's have the corruption thing going for em and just basically gaining sentience as for some of the demon characters...

Selective reading of the character sheets of the magical children basically goes "I have a story... then something happened (often bad) then I got magic and then one thing lead to another..." So does this mean getting the magic would have immediately turned them into magical children?

The way I structured Iska's history went in a slightly different manner "I'm a high priestess (and I mean high as in stoned)... then I turned immortal... Then I found out it's actually terrible and this is the bit where bad things happen to me... AFTER I turned supernatural... Then I found out a way to kill myself and actually get something out of it..." So by this story structure should she have become a magical child already? Another thing that differentiated her is that she literally had no exposure to Demons before and during her stint as an immortal... That or she could have just not realized that demons caused things she took for granted...
So she couldn't have had one characteristic I noticed of all the magical children, the desire to rid the world of demons...

So Iska's a bit of a fresh page here (as fresh as a two and a half thousand year old, slightly forgetful ex-priestess) She could side with the Magical children and be a really really old one with not terrifically practical nor powerful abilities, Or she could be swayed to the demon's side... As mentioned she's a bit neutral with these things...

[kusanagifire]

My character was given the empty hilt, by her friend, who was a shrine maiden. The empty hilt would be the equivalent to the magical trinket for magical girls to transform with, and the sword equivalent to magical items they would fight with.

Hope that helps. ^^;
