[OOC] [CLOSED] Epic Fantasia!

[Quatro]

In this role play, you will be playing an amalgamation of you and someone else or an alteration of yourself. Normally it's a fandom character or something of your own imagination. This will be an adventure-based story and inspiration will be drawn from Yakushoku Distpiari - Gesellschaft Blume, The Rising of the Shield Hero, Rave Master and Black Clover. Specifics regarding the plot will be worked out in the thread before everything officially starts.

Welcome! I'd like to inform you that you, have died. It’s unimportant how. Well, unimportant for the bigger picture, but I guess it is pretty important for you, eh? What can I say, tough luck? But let’s not dawdle on depressing things! You have died and just as you were expecting a dark tunnel with a white light at the end, you are confronted with a peculiar message:

“GAME OVER. RESTART IN ANOTHER WORLD?”

The whole thing looked like it was taken from the video games you used to play, except for the question about restarting in another world. What's with that? Shouldn’t it say “restart at the last checkpoint”? Hm, guess not. Right bellow the question there were two buttons: [YES] and [NO].

Naturally, you're going to choose yes. Why? Because this story needs you to! How do you expect me to lead this story if you decide you are fine with being dead? Stay on the rails! I mean, on figurative rails, not real ones, because then you’ll probably just die again. Unless you're some sort of superhero. Which you may very well become in this new world we’re going.

Just as you press [YES], a new message replaces the old:

PLEASE CREATE YOUR CHARACTER.

[OK]

Now, what the hell does that mean?! Aren’t you already created? Your mom and dad worked hard at it too! Does this reincarnation system want to pick a fight with you!?! You are perfect the way you are, they said so at school! A special little snowflake!

Hmmm, but are you sure you are perfect? Maybe you wanted to be a little slimmer, a tad taller or you might be unhappy with your gender? Be honest, I won’t judge. Sorry, I will, but I can promise you that I'll keep everything confidential. My lips are sealed!

Here’s your chance to fulfill all of those fantasies, except the particularly weird and perverted ones. This isn't the place for those. So press that [OK] button and let us dive in this fantasy world filled with magic, adventure and annoying anime tropes!

As you press the [OK] button colors explode around you. What was previously a pitch black void of death was now dyed in a cloudy combination of white and blue. Message telling you to create your character was gone and in it is place some kind of form appeared before you. It took only a quick glance to realize what it was.

A Character Sheet:

Hider

[Appearance - Image]

Name: This one is simple. Write down the name by which you want to be known in this world. You can pick your Earth name, but that would be boring. Nobody likes boring people.
Gender: Are you a boy or a girl? Maybe neither? Or both? Hey, it’s a fantasy world, you can find all kinds of stuff.
Background: Tell us about yourself. What did you do in your Earthly life? How do you feel about your death? What are your plans for the future?

Level: This is your character level. As you do stuff you grow more powerful and it reflects in your level. You start at level 1.
Class: Hey, it’s a fantasy role-play, it just wouldn’t be right without class system! What, you don’t like class system? Filthy commie! Don’t worry too much: you make your own class and it has no actual influence on your development, its purpose is descriptive.
Race: Similarly to the Class field, you make up your own race. Now you can be that extraterestrial transgender leprechaun you always wanted to be! Isn’t that great?

Abilities: You have 5 points to spend on techniques, spells, skills or traits. During the course of the RP, you'll get both more abilities.

Equipment: You’re dead. You got nothing. Nothing! But you may acquire things on your journey around the world, so this field here is where you’ll list all weapons, armours and other such items in your possession.

[FINALIZE]

Now that you pressed [FINALIZE], you have officially made your character. Or, better say, remade yourself. Congratulations! Now, our journey can begin. Fasten your seat belts, because we are about to land! Reincarnation world, here we come!

Once again, light explodes and you get engulfed by a rainbow-colored whirlpool. A sudden feeling of being launched downwards possesses you and the instinctive fear of falling forces you to scream. As you look bellow you the myriad of colors clear and an unfamiliar landscape began rapidly approaching you. Your eyes water from the speed, making you unable to properly inspect the features of the world around you. Not that you’d have enough composure to do it anyway, as your destination became clear: a gray, rocky mountainside. You show no signs of stopping as you draw closer and closer until finally you hit the mountain’s surface at full force, exploding from sheer force of the impact into a spectacle of gore...

That didn’t happen. Before you collided with the surface, either out of fear or something else, you lose your consciousness and darkness envelops your mind.

For now, there will be no character limit, but applications will follow a certain level of strictness; this is due to my need for cleanliness, uniformity, and aesthetics when it comes to characters.

@Quatro
Do you want us to fill out the cs in 1st Person or 3rd? I'm also having a hard time choosing between a Berserker Cat or Berserker Imp/Dwarf thing.

[Quatro]

Your preference; I'm fine with either.

I think Berserker Imp sounds better and leaves you open into transforming into a Demon or Devil.

@Quatro

Yes, yes, I like it. The pic I have to go with it correlate with the... job change? Is that what we call it?

[Quatro]

@LokiLeo789 Ideally but not required.

[LokiLeo789]

This RP involves MMO elements right? So how exactly are we to go about wording and naming our abilities? Are these attacks and passives? Same with equipment.

Name:

Xerxes

Gender:

Male

Background:

Level:

1

Class:

Forsaken: Combining the agile fighting ability of the Rouge, the ferocity and intimidating presence of a Berserker, and the magical prowess of a Demon Hunter, you get the Forsaken. Beings who have made contracts with demons, allowing the beasts into thier bodies and fighting along side them. A Forsaken not only relies on the magical power that thier demonic appendage gives them, but on his own agility and weapon skills to fight. Despite thier seemingly harmonious relationship in battle, an internal battle rages on, the demon is always whispering, tempting, offering more power for more control.

Race:

Imp

Abilities:

• Blood Well (Passive/Active)
  Once activated, Xerxes demon arm passively eats and stores energy from enemy attacks that are blocked with it. After 15 hits, it it able to release the energy in one hit. Once used it goes on cool down.

• All Seeing Eyes (Active)
  Xerxes demon's eyes open wide for a few seconds, revealing hidden or sheathed enemies.

• Imps Mischief (Passive)
  Imps are mischievous little creatures. Being the rascals that they are, they are harder to spot and very fast, making them ideal thieves. Imps passively have the ability to steal low level items from others unnoticed, outside of battle.

• Ronin Training (Passive)
  The Imps main fighting style, focusing on speed and acrobatics, Imps are swordsman who are to be feared.

• Demon Frenzy [Active]
  Xerxes demon arm's claws elongate, cutting deeper with each swipe, the smell of blood sends the demon into a frenzy, boosting Xerxes to attack speed for a few seconds, filling up Blood Well quicker.

Equipment:

[Quatro]

@LokiLeo789They can range from being passives, traits, techniques, or skills. Equipment may grant you some sort of ability or possess some strange property.

@Quatro

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks.

Edit
@Quatro
Added some abilities and a class description, how is that?

Name: Jian
Gender: M
Background: The man known as Jian was once an average man working at his 9-5. He liked to go out at bars and drink, buy niche games, and argue over the net over said games. He also had an eye on a cute co-worker whom he was slowly but surely building something up to. Tragically before he could make his affections clear he got hit by a bus. In spite of the exoticism of this new land and his new powers Jian doesn't care for lingering too long and yearns to go back to Earth.

Level: 1.
Class: Wield Willer
Race: Human

Abilities:
Omni-haft: This is the core item/gimmick of Jian. When not active it takes the form of a jade colored bangle made of an unknown material that is bound to him. When active it turns into a small "stick". This stick is able to have its physical form and properties altered at will allowing Jian to shape it into whatever weapon he imagines such as: a whip, spear, or swords of various sizes. The weapon itself is unbreakable and if it holds an edge will cut through most mundane materials easily.

Weapon Knowledge: This skill is complementary to the Omni-haft as it allows him to competently wield all weapons he shapes.

Superhuman Athletics : Basically he can tell gravity and physics to fuck off and let him do all sort of impossible feats like wall running, running on treetops or water, and other sorts of those things

Perceive and Interact With The Supernatural: Pretty much what it says. He can see all sorts of non-mundane things and because of it he can also interact with it. Like say cutting a wizard's spell being cast.

And I got my guy up.

@Quatro
So I'm thinking of starting off as like a goblin or hobgoblin, my schtick would be to slowly evolve as I level up, becoming bigger and stronger until finally settling on Ogre. Thoughts?

[drewccapp]

Here's Jacky!

Name: Jack-of-All-Trades
Gender: Male

Background: Wars are always things that cause pain, suffering, and death. Having been a soldier in a brutal civil war, James Issak was more familiar with those facts than most. He was there at the end. At that final battle that crushed the rebellion. James felt so devastated and lifeless at the suffering that he witnessed at the end that he decided to everything he could to improve the lives of everyone that he could manage.

He was discharged after the war and he immediately put himself to work on learning every skill he could get his hands on. Anyone that needed help he went out of his way. Unfortunately, his human body could only manage so much and his body gave out and he passed away before getting anything of note accomplished.

Not expecting a prompt giving him a second chance at life, James was more than happy to change his existence into something far more than human.

Level: 1
Class: Jack-of-All-Trades
Race: Ascended - Ascended appear human, however they are not. Ascended were at one point human, but they have ascended to a true calling. That calling may vary based on the individual, but most cases are for helping people in one way or another. Their actions are entirely decided by this calling.

Abilities:
Jack-of-All-Trades, Master-of-None (Passive) - It's only natural that a Jack-of-All-Trades knows a little of everything but never excels in any of those things. These skills are purely mundane even if the origin of the knowledge is created by powerful magic.

Service with a Smile (Passive) - This can be unnerving or entirely relaxing, but Jack-of-All-Trades is always happy with a smile especially when he's assisting someone.

Looks like Nothing Special (Passive) - Jack has no extraordinary appearance. In fact his appearance is so mundane that it is easy to overlook him even if he's standing in plain sight unless of course you're looking for some help.

Defensive Aura (Toggled) - Jack can turn on an aura that makes it harder for him to be hit as some force partially deflects physical attacks. The heavier the attack the more it wears on the energy required to keep up the aura.

Pristine Appearance (Passive) - Regardless of how much damage Jack has taken and whatever injuries he has received, Jack always looks perfectly healthy. This doesn't mean that he is actually health, but after taking a beating and surviving or even winning this appearance can be somewhat demoralizing.

@Pathfinder

Someone has read RE:Monster

[Quatro]

@LokiLeo789 Don't treat this so much as a game since the mechanics won't cater to abilities that are made based on that idea. @JerkchickenWhat exactly is a Wield Willer? Aside from that, character looks good.
@Pathfinder An acceptable concept, just depends on how you want to do it.
@drewccapp Remove the time limit since we don't really do numbers. Just don't overdo it; in the event that you will, I'll just give you character the appropriate debuffs.

[Pathfinder]

Name:
Johnathan "John" Taylor
Gender:
Male
Background:
In life John did what everyone else did with their day to day, trying to survive. However being a poor, physically fit, high school drop out left little jobs besides hired muscle. And so it was, John leveling his only advantage in life by taking on jobs as a bouncer, body guard, and finally criminal enforcer. With every job he found himself more and more dissatisfied with his life and the type of scum he came to be employed under. This unease festered into hate as the months turned to years and he finally snapped, assaulting his employer and killing him when he struck a child. For his trouble John was riddled with bullets and dumped into a barrel of acid.

Level: 1
Class: Hell Raiser: Anyone with enough will to raise Hell can become a Hell Raiser. These individuals are touched by Fate, filled with hate black enough to blot out the sun and anger so cold as to freeze over Hell itself. They will cause bloody change, ripping and tearing through their obstacles until they are done.
Race: Human, with the power of Titans running through his veins.

Abilities:
Blood of Titans (Passive): The Titan's blood gives John better strength, speed, and dexterity in battle. While only marginally better than a standard human now, it will awaken in time and give bigger boosts.

Slayer's Reward (Passive): Killing something spectacularly awakens his Titan blood, allowing power to flow through his being. The stronger and more spectacular the kill, the more power he gains.

Arms of War (Passive): Practical knowledge of how to use the basic weapons of man. Axes, hammers, and his own bare hands.

Brutality (Active): A bloody, horrifying display of violence that stirs the Titan blood within and cows lesser foes into submission.

Sympathy for the Devil (Active): John can usually bring down any beast of war without violence if he has time. The only exceptions being sentiant beings that have been "broken", naturally malicious creatures, and beasts have been driven too far gone by pain.

Equipment: To Be Acquired

@Quatro
Eh, I've basically created a glorified Doom Guy just because I think it'd be fun. Tell me if you think anything is overpowered.

[Quatro]

The character is okay. Abilities are fine as well.

[Pathfinder]

Coolio, can't wait for this to start.

[Jerkchicken]

@Quatro

Just the name I gave to my guy since I couldn't come up with a cool name that also felt descriptive of my guy's gimmick. So I gave it an Engrishy name in honor of the Japanese tradition of giving things weird names in English that don't make much sense to a native reader/speaker.

But the gist of the class is he has the magical bangle which he turn into various weapons which he wields and he can also do wire-fu and sorts of like physics defying stunts as well as perceive supernatural things so he can hit it with his weapon.

Also you think I can mess with my abilities a bit? I am unsure if I needed to have a separate ability the knowledge to use all the weapons he can make. But I added it in case you have wanted it.

Character Sheet:

Hider

Name: Brytag Bloodfire

Gender: Male

Background:
This sucks. Well I do remember my life, how I used to liked all those old Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone movies, those tough guy attitudes and beefcake physique as well. So I worked hard building my body up, learnt self defense and enjoyed life as a bouncer of "Inferno" nightclub and hanging out at the local gym.

Of course I should have known when I turned that group of kids away for carrying unknown substances, they would jump me after my shift and quite literally break every bone in my body.

Still a second chance at life this game. It must have been my memories of being a kid at the various role-playing games I used to do, because i wanted to be something big. A giant, well I got that but it was stuck inside a 14 year old. With all the memories of self-defense I learned, it had potential and the bagage to go with it as well.

Level: 1

Class: Smoldering Tank. Well the body is big and strong, it's tough as old boots and sometimes I feel like I just want everything to burn.

Race: Fire Giant. Being 14 means I'm only 6'8", still an impressive size, but there is growth spurts still to follow.

Abilities:

Strength. Passive

Stamina. Passive

Tough. Passive

His redish skin is as tough as leather.

Heat Resistance. Passive

High temperatures don't bother him. this leaves him feeling cold almost all the time and flames still burn him.

Unarmed Combat. Passive

A variety of different forms of unarmed combat. Never sticks to one style so he can use the unprodictability against his opponent.

Equipment:

Hopefully the game will be nice to me and allow me to wear some nice warm furs and leathers. Why is it always cold?

[FINALIZE]

I've gone for low end powers and hope to improve them as the character levels and ages. he'll get bigger, stronger, more heat resistant and possibly with fire powers (if all this is allowed.) Just got to find an image.

[drewccapp]

@Quatro OK easy enough.

[MahouOppai]

I'm hoping to get my sheet up tonight,but quick question. Do the races and classes necessarily have to be fantasy rpg style? Could they be Sci fi maybe?

Please disregard that last half
