Last Train Home--An 'Alternate World' Fantasy RP [Interest Check]

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Angelese Altheion Talothere Maykell Winterbloom
• Age: 16
• Appearance: "I won't allow myself to fail." She's a little short.
• Personality: Angelese is confident and haughty, deeply asserting that she is a completely excellent daughter of the Winterbloom family. She has faith in her training, faith in her actions, and confidence in most of the things that she does. At the same time, she also feels holding herself to this standard is important as to set an example to others... and to deflect less then savory remarks from detractors. Angelese does, however, have quite a temper, and unfortunately does seem to think she has the right to order others around. She doesn't suffer fools, at all, and will quickly complain about anyone she sees as acting stupid. Loudly. She's also quickly flustered and embarrassed, and will often angrily lash out at anyone who causes her to feel such emotions. Or stammer into embarrassed silence if it gets to be too much for her. Angelese has a great fondness for fancy pastries of all sorts, and is intensely protective of her servants.
• Abilities: In terms of pure physical capabilities, Angelese is a remarkably skilled fencer, adept with her rapier and very quick on her feet. Strength is not her strongsuit, but she is speedy and capable.
  
  • Winterbloom Sword Saint: Just as her father before her, and her eldest sister, Angelese is a Sword Saint. This refers to a supernatural ability to reinforce her rapier and even perform inhumanly fast and skilled attacks almost entirely by instinct. She can shatter magical defenses and even pierce stone with her rapier when it's reinforced, but this process is heavily physically draining and can even cause her to collapse.
  • Rainbow Blade: A spell taught to her by the magical tutor of the Winterbloom family, Angelese can coat her sword in a swirling rainbow colored aura, which projects itself in bursts and beams. Sweeping her blade to the side can fire it in a wave that can disrupt projectiles, and it has a degree of destructive capabilities. However, at Angelese's current level, she cannot break through decent magical defenses with this attack and it has highly limited range.
• Native or Newcomer?: Native
• Cheat: N/A
• History: Angelese is the youngest daughter of Madrol Altheion Talborn Diaphus Winterbloom, and a maid. His first wife had died a year earlier, an event that hit Lord Winterbloom rather hard. He later married the maid, in what has been a mostly happy union. However, many of his fellow nobles have spread rumors about this event, and some refuse to see Angelese as legitimate. It is for this reason that the youngest daughter of the Winterbloom family chooses to carry herself in such a manner and take pride in herself. To set an example, to show she is nobility just as any other. Her fiery red hair is a trait of her mother, as the Winterbloom bloodline typically displays blue hair.
• Other: Don't try to make her cook. Just don't.

@Rin: Well, I was a bit wary at first when I saw the names match up, but I've had people vouch for you so I'll accept it. Just... Be careful and make sure the difference between yourself and the character remains defined and clear.

@VitaVitaAR: Accepted.

Speaking of forms...

Mine! :D

Name: Michael Lau
Age: 20
Appearance: Calm as always, ain'tcha?
Personality: Michael is a generally laid-back person, at least in regards to people. He's a hard worker when it comes to getting the job done (regardless of what the 'job' is), though, and loves a good challenge when one rolls by. It's hard not to label him a bit of an ikemen, but it's not far from the truth; in general, he'll get along with (or try to get along with) people so long as they aren't complete jerks or on the opposite end of the moral spectrum. He knows, of course, that the world is a cutthroat place, but he'd rather not have to resort to killing if he can avoid it.
Beating sense into someone, though? That's a different story.
Abilities: Having studied mechanical engineering in college, Michael generally has an idea on how machines work and how everything kind of just... Works. Well, once he gets to examine it for a while, at least. He's creative enough to jerry-rig some devices (which isn;t that hard with the reliance on electricity these days), but he often makes note that messing with the wiring on stuff usually isn't the safest idea.
He also has some experience coding and messing around with electronics. Also cooking because college student with a kitchen plus hunger.
Native or Newcomer?: Newcomer
Cheat: A mana-powered tablet that lets Michael do three things:

• Store materials (inanimate) in a pocket dimension. This does have a capacity, but will grow larger as the group progresses.
• Consume materials to create items to use. Of course, the prerequisites to create any such item must be available to him to do this sort of thing in the first place. So no, he can't conjure up an AK and a bunch of ammo right off the start. Or even anything close to a gun, for that matter.
• Access the internet. He can't communicate with any parties on the other side outside of downloading things onto the tablet, but he can do things like using Google to search for answers to questions.

It may gain more capabilities in the future, but that seems fairly unlikely.
History: Michael's life was... Fairly mundane, in all honesty. He got good grades, played video games with friends, and hung out around school after classes to chat with people. Of course, having walked along the path that his parents drew for him, college was a breath of fresh air. He generally stuck to the lifestyle he had before, but with more freedom (and money in his pockets), he could mess around more with machines. That, coupled with the resources at the university he went to, meant that Michael had the chance to try and make a bit of a name for himself. The night he rode the train was the night after a conference for other inventors. After all, the best way to get inspiration was to learn from others... Right?
Other: Has a pet parrot at home (like in the picture :D). Also has a friend who talks about this kind of stuff all the time, but it usually goes in one ear and out the other. He still remembers bits and pieces of it here and there, though.

I'll get an OoC live within the next 48 hours, I think. The RP will begin once enough forms have been submitted. But for now, we wait.

So this might seem like an odd request, but would anyone be willing to make a maid for Angelese? ^^;

[Rin]

@PKMNB0YI'll try my best. ^^; Still a little iffy about her power though but until I get a better idea for it I'll keep it as-is.

@VitaVitaARI would, but since we've discussed that my only idea for that is to basically make the maid into the Juggernaut I'm probably not the best candidate.

plptlptlptlptlptl removed because it takes up a lot of space

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@SilverDawn: Problem. Multiple, actually.

1. Setup here is awkward. It's past midnight, and the character is a 16-year-old girl riding on a train. I'm going to emphasize the 'past midnight' part here. Would just like to note that.

2. We kiiiinda have a chuuni on hand already. Like, I'm not saying that doubling up on personality niches is a bad thing, but it's just something to note. I understand that changing the concept of the character basically invalidates it (what's a chuuni without chuuni stuff, amirite?), but I'm just going to put the option to change character archetype out there. Highly suggested, actually. Hiiiiiiiiiiighly recommended. Mainly because a few people have just brought concerns to hand.

3. Once again, because this is still REALLY important: 16-year-old girl. After midnight. Train ride. I don't know about you, but those three terms together just screams 'bad times incoming' here. That, I certainly want changed.

@PKMNB0Y

1. I would assume the midnight train is more depressed salary men than dangerous hoodlums. Plus nobody fucks with mages.

2. Rip the meme dream. I'll probably go with my original character idea, then. Man with gun

^{i swear, if poke made his ninja chuuni, I'm going to falcon kick him in the face}

[Daft Monarch]

@PKMNB0YDo the Newcomers come from... Earth? If so, which country was that train in? :)

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Daft Monarch: Yes, Earth. U.S.

Edit: For diversity reasons, I'm not saying state or city. Varied backgrounds go!

[Aix]

Can we get a bit of info on the world? What sort of liberties with worldbuilding may I take if I am making a Native? Also, what sort of power level is expected for this RP?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Aix: I'll be generous for the most part for natives; so long as they are reasonable within a Western fantasy setting (and by reasonable I mean reasonable for a member of the main party).

As for power level... Obviously it'll scale over time, but it'll start fairly mundane and weak. Of course, magic exists and magic tools exist and abilities exist, so it won't stay like that forever.

[Daft Monarch]

Burning the midnight oil. [-_-]~
Hopefully will finish character soon. Who knows. :o

Also, I saw the previous post and wanted to clarify something, maybe silly. The cheats the Newcomers have, they'll grow in power as the story progresses? An ability is the one thing I'm stuck on at the moment, while the profile is still bones.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Daft Monarch: You can make them grow or keep them stable. Your choice.

So...

@Aix@SilverDawn@Rin@VitaVitaAR@Tachi@Raineh Daze@Patient 43Delta@ClocktowerEchos@Poke:

OoC!
