[OOC] Four Winds

Am I right to assume applications for this is closed?

@TheHangedMan

Actually, we had a few withdrawals due to life/lack of inspiration, so I think we have slots available.

Scio has been busy for a bit, but I don't believe we're at the 20-player mark, especially since Ayemdar had to leave recently.

@TheHangedMan

We did recently have a small group of newbies (me included) start, too. So now would probably be a good time....

[GreenGoat]

Scio haven't been on for a day though. Probably busy at the moment or something.

@Scio

Poked Scio to confirm, just in case.

Before Ayemdar withdrew, we were at 20 characters (counting inactives). Still counting inactives, we're currently at 19 players (Vongola_Hasayo has been declared "out" by Scio (see below); Sodium, Ayemdar, and King Tai are no longer in the RP).

Since Vongola_Hasayo [edited to remove mention] hasn't been active in this RP for a while now and no replies to my PMs have been made despite still actively posting in other threads, I'm assuming he lost interest in the RP and is kinda out.

@Scio

You should be good to go, Hanged, barring any new decisions Scio makes, of course. And, obviously, CS acceptance.

[Letter Bee]

@TheHangedMan, Squee! You're here!

Wanna talk on Discord?

[TheHangedMan]

@Letter Bee just lemme work on my CS first . . . and maybe a short game xD

[lydyn]

Just an FYI.... I was locked out my apartment so the post will be tomorrow. Sorry!

[January]

@lydyn

Hahaha, welcome back to your apartment!

Work in Progress. History and Picture not yet done :3

Cleo Cassis

Name:
Cleo Cassis

Age:
16

Appearance

Personality: Cleo is selfish, deceiving, ruthless and cunning. Cleo lives so that she can enjoy life, and to that end, will do anything. She changes the way she acts to suit the situation, and regardless of the circumstance, remains in complete control of herself. Most of the time, she likes to stay safely on the sidelines, observing the situation from a distance until she's sure of her next course of action. Of course, that is not to say she is a coward - while not exactly what you'd call "brave", Cleo is not above taking enormous risks. She just prefers if the payoff is worth it.

More than anything however, Cleo is confident. And it's quite simply, the most effective kind of confidence. Enough for her to plow through opposition, without filling her with arrogance, and blinding her to her shortcomings. Rather than a virtue, her confidence is a survival tool.

Outwardly, she's an amicable, and generally friendly. Or rather, if she sees that it's better to be friendly, she will be.

History:

Skills:

• Cleo is good at reading people. She looks at everything they put on display - facial expressions, words, body language - and uses them to read someone like a book.
• She's also quite the actress.

Magic:

• Name: World Eater
• Type: Manipulation.
• Description: World Eater is a grotesque ability that mutates other people's abilities according to Cleo's desires. She can turn an ability to "make light" and invert it to an ability to "devour darkness" - potentially, she could modify an ability to the point where it's completely unrecognizable from the original. She can also modify a persons level of control over it, essentially either letting it go berserk, or stop responding completely. Of course, while this aspect of her ability is rather dangerous, this does not make it "grotesque" - the true horror behind her ability is the fact that with every change she makes to a persons ability, she also modifies their personality. The more warped she makes an ability, the more a persons personality changes.
  
  Her ability can only work at extremely close range - she has to practically be hugging her target - and first manifests as a black needle that protrudes from her stomach, and spears her target. The target is not physically harmed, but at this point, they are completely helpless as the needle paralyzes both body and mind. Then her shadow extends and grows, covering her, and eventually becomes a large "mouth" that devours the victim. The longer a person is "devoured" by the shadow, the more traits can be modified.
  
  "World Eater" of course, has its limits. For one, for each trait modified by, Cleo becomes increasingly full, as though she were actually eating food. Eventually, she'll hit a limit. If she tries to force past that limit, she regurgitates every change she's made and nothing happens.
  
  Also, similarly to eating real food, she also "digests" the changes she's made, so eventually every modification she's done will revert back to normal - the time itself is dependent on the amount of things she modified. The more she modified, the longer it will take to return to normal, and conversely, the less she modified, the shorter it takes to revert.

Inventory: She carries around a backpack filled with sandwiches. Hers to eat, yours to drool over.

Boy, that was tedious.

I'm back, boys, and I'm here to regale you with my experiences before I collapse.

Summary of the ceremony: The groom was really short, this was their second wedding (they had 1 earlier in the year) and there were a lot of bugs.
The amount of tiny bugs was real annoying. They didn't bother me that much but at one point there was this mosquito on one of the bridesmaid's elbows and I wanted to scare it off but I couldn't exactly do that. This was in fact the couple's second wedding, something to do with relatives not being able to go to the first one or something, I didn't pay attention. And finally, the groom was really short, shorter than my mom even.

The food was indeed good, however. Too good, in fact. I ate too many appetizers and I had 2 serves of the entree since one of my family members didn't show up and they thought someone was sitting there, which put me into a food coma as soon as I finished the main course. I managed the desert, of course, but I couldn't have any cake.

I also made an important discovery during dinner; that wine tastes like crap. I first drank some champagne, it smelled like permanent marker fumes and didn't taste much better. Unfortunately, of the 3 wines there were today, it was easily the best.

So yeah, that was my experience. Now I gotta go sleep off this food coma. Adios, wish me up some sweet dreams because I'm gonna need whatever I can get to get through monday.

Guess I'll wake Nico up.

@Scio: Nix on that concussion request.

[GreenGoat]

Dunno what happened to Scio. Hope he's alright. He's not logged in for around 3 days now.

[TheHangedMan]

@GreenGoat We were hit by two typhoons in a row. Chances are he got hit by it.

@TheHangedMan

Yeah...I can count myself lucky the worst I got was a leaky roof.

[Vox Angelis]

Woosh!

Postified!

It might sound strange to have Akasha speak with all such philosophy (given it's primal philisophy), but that's what you get for being raised by a shaman. At first I thought of making Akasha dumber and air-headed, but then I thought it would turn her into your stereotypical amazon and boring, so I added a little extra to the character's mentality.

[Letter Bee]

@Riffus Maximus, I like it; I'll either reply or wait for @Scio.

[Nanashi Ninanai]

I'll post tomorrow. Right now I'm still thinking of what to post that could generate something interesting while Scio's away.

[Scio]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but a storm hit us pretty bad and it's taking a while to recover from it. To make it worse, we're expecting another one in a day or so; they say it's turned into a typhoon. How this will affect us, I'm not quite sure yet.

I apologize, but there's going to be a delay in the next updates.

[TheHangedMan]

Yep, the rating just went up from "typhoon" to "supertyphoon" too. @Scio As far as my character goes, is she fine?
