[ZekariVoblis]

THE ONLY REAL ROMANCE IN THIS RP IS BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS DRINK.

Aleph is gonna get drunk, it's 5'oclock somewhere.

@FamishedPants

Ah, just being cautious.

I have various villain and hero ideas.

Villain ideas are:

1.) A slaver who wants to become an evil overlord.

2.) A person with the power to transfer his soul to other people's bodies, possessing them.

3.) An amoral poacher who hunts down and captures exotic beasts for rich collectors.

Hero ideas are:

1.) A young female mage who is trying to research the phenomenon causing people from Earth to wind up in the Fantasy world.

2.) An old magitech mechanic who has been saving up money to build a racing track where magitech 'cars' can race against one another; his motivation is profit and being around magitech.

3.) The bishonen character I keep making in other RPs. Basically a young, bright, handsome prodigy that is nevertheless naive and lacking in practical knowledge.

@Letter Bee

Anyway, which ideas are viable/should I go with?

@Letter Bee

Um...Dude. Magi tech isn't really a thing in Re:Zero. I'm nigh certain it's moreso medieval stuff.

EDIT: As for viability, leaving that to the GM and CO-GMs for the most part.

[Spriggs27]

@Letter Bee Most people that have been made here are pretty neutral or more along the lines of good. But what would I know, I'm just another character's pet dragon really.

[Letter Bee]

@ZekariVoblis, Ah, so no magitech; what a shame.

@Spriggs27, but multiple characters are allowed, yes?

@Letter Bee

Only 2 max. After all, can't have people making 5 characters considering how 1. Power they'd end up having over the plot that would usually be judge by the GM and 2. it would get utterly confusing with too many characters. You can only get more through approval of the KGB-I mean, GMs.

@Letter Bee

Heinrich Ford is basically hero #3 so I wouldn't recommend him.

villain #2 sounds similar to Beetlegoose, but I'm sure if you discussed with Fiddle and others you could have him join the crew of evil douchebags that seems to be forming (2 members, I believe at the current moment).

I'm personally not seeing the reason one would play a poacher in this RP. I would say your best bet would either be Villain #2 if his abilities are allowed, or maybe the first person to genuinely give a shit about all the new people arriving from A WHOLE NEW WORLD.

[Letter Bee]

@ZekariVoblis, Two characters is enough for me; one hero and one villain. The hero would be the bishonen, but what idea should I use for the villain?

@FamishedPants

Ah, didn't see this. Anyway, Villain#2 would be great. As for heroes, I'll go look at Ford's CS.

[PhoenixRising]

So this is still open, correct?

[Letter Bee]

@FamishedPants, Hmm, having seen Heinrich's CS, I'll just say that my bishonen idea would have significant differences; for one thing, he'd be thinner, and two, my backstory idea for him is for him to be an amateur detective/occultist who is investigating the disapperance of people from Earth.

Also, with your permission, I may give him a Divine Protection that makes his eyes able to see all magic, and see through all magical alterations. However, the weakness of this is that his eyes would also not be healable by magical means as well...

[Lucius Cypher]

@PhoenixRising

I think so. We're getting pretty full so I'll have to consult my fellow gm's to see if they want more pc or not. But go ahead and make your app and I will judge it.

@Letter Bee

Hmm. I'll have to see the full cs before I give my approval. Unlike the other two gms, in somewhat more finicky about the details of ones cs. Honestly we've been getting a lot of people with divine blessings to the point it's kinda silly how common these god given talents are.

[Letter Bee]

@Lucius Cypher, Well, I'll make a CS, then; might not take my break today because of it.

[FamishedPants]

@Letter Bee

Skinnier, yes, but still very attractive. From a different background, yes, but would you not still be a prodigy lacking practical knowledge? Their difference is mostly aesthetic.

[Letter Bee]

@FamishedPants, Good point. On the other hand, your character is described as an isolationist coward, but mine will be the opposite of that, basically someone who wants to get to the bottom of the underlying mystery of why people from Earth are disappearing, and is determined to engage with others and put himself in danger in pursuit of that goal.

[PhoenixRising]

@Lucius Cypher
Can I have a blessing of always having bacon and peach juice on hand?

[Zelosse]

@PhoenixRising

Don't need a blessing for that.

[PhoenixRising]

@Zelosse Seriously? That's pretty cool. I guess I don't need a blessing then.
Edit- I'll write my CS tomorrow.

Divine Protection

Blessing of Investigation - Alexander's eyes can see, and see through all magical illusions, effects, blessings, curses and even alterations, as well as detect what kinds of Magic, Divine Protection, or Authority have been used or is being cast. The drawback to this, however, is that Alexander's eyes cannot be healed by magic, or can they be strengthened, weakened, or otherwise influenced by supernatural powers. The rest of his body, however, can be attacked just as fine...

Personality

Alexander is reckless, but committed, and also a person who has only recently managed to rein in their emotions. Although not naturally kinder than the average person, Alexander is someone who wants to be more than he already is, and is willing to do what it takes to get it. At the same time, however, he can be a show-off, impatient, and as mentioned, reckless, as well as secretly afraid that he might let himself down, which would equate to letting others down.

"I'm not as kind as I want to be - in fact, I'm pretty nasty. But I want to change all that, and I will."

Background

One of Alexander's first memories was watching Detective Conan/Case Closed, due his babysitter leaving the TV on. The fact that he was somehow able to comprehend the plots of each episode was also the time when it became clear that he was different from others, different not just in his intelligence, but in his realization that when he wanted something, he should try to get it, either by asking nicely, or by giving something in return, like good grades at school or extra obedience to one's parents. Even as he got older and other shows and stories about detectives stopped being appealing to him, Detective Conan, and later, books such as Artemis Fowl (which he began to take an interest in when he was getting older), remained an inspiration to his life.

In school, Alexander was known as a mystery-solver, able to get answers to minor schoolroom capers such as missing lunch boxes, vandalism, and minor embezzlement by student council members (which aren't as powerful as they were in Japan). In short, he got a nice reputation, a reputation that got him favors, good graces by the safety patrol, praise, and eventually, girls and boys. But the desire to solve more and greater mysteries kept nagging at him, preventing him from being content. Finally, at 16, he was allowed to join a special course in criminology and investigation...and that was when he found the mystery that would satisfy him - the mysterious disapperances of people around the globe, disapperances yet unexplained.

But while investigating the disapperances, Alexander was drawn to 'evidence' that pointed towards a connection with the occult, and as said evidence mounted, and was shortly dismissed by skeptical professors and police personnel as 'a hoax', Alexander changed his majors from criminology and investigation to 'mythology and history', with side-specializations in the history of the occult, cults, and deciptions of magic in both pop culture and traditional stories. He also felt a draw to learn martial arts, namely Filipino Eskrima/Kali, which he chose because it combined blades, sticks, and even unarmed combat in a lethal combination. Chemistry was also another passion, although Alex was only able to memoize the formula for gunpowder by heart.

Unknown even to himself, he was preparing to depart his world.

One day, Alexander found a lead to the mystery gripping his mind in Japan. Getting his parents' blessing, and using what money he saved up from part-time jobs, the boy boarded a plane headed for the archipelago - which ended up crashing into the sea in a freak accident.

Get up... he would hear, A God commands you. Continue your quest; find a way to return those who didn't want to go. And Alexander's eyes would shine with power, as he woke up in another world, in the nation of Lugnica.

And so, Alexander would spend a year learning, getting his bearings, investigating, and finally landing a job as a mercenary, all so he can fulfill his mission - to return 'the missing' back to Earth, though only if they want to, of course.
