The Main OOC is up. Please, gather your CSs here.

[Themerlinhawk]

Okay I should be done and have my CS cleaned up today.

[TheWendil]

❆ Rika ❆

Rika ❆ Eider
^{Height: 175 cm ❆ Weight: 77 kg ❆ Age: 21 Years}

"Yeah, go ahead. Just try to catch up."

_{♢ N A M E ♢}

Rika Eider

_{♢ G E N D E R ♢}

Female

_{♢ R A C E ♢}

Human

_{♢ C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ♢}

A Water Mage who excels in the usage of ice-related techniques, Rika likes to think she’s as cool as her powers would suggest. Opting to smooth talk her way out of situations rather than fight, she’s laid back, lazy, and overall chill. Calm as the snow, but sharp as ice when need be. Evidently, this means she doesn’t get along too well with hot-heads or people who talk way too damn fast. In terms of a history, there’s not much to say; she’s actually looking for a job at the moment and is willing to work crazy hours so long as she gets a steady income.

_{♢ C O M B A T ♢}

As a Mage with an Elemental Alignment towards Water, one would think Rika would be a master of the seas. In truth, she specializes in a variation of water magic and relies heavily on ice-themed attacks. She can conjure up shards of ice for throwing measures, breaking down weak locks, and serving as makeshift blades if need be. If she really must, she can even start summoning some crazy ice structures but that takes a bit more effort on her part.

_{♢ E Q U I P M E N T ♢}

Considering how laxed Rika is, it’s not difficult to say that she only owns one outfit. Given her lack of a steady job in Aquaria, that might as well be valid. Aside from that though, she’s got herself a nice watch on her left wrist and is usually seen with some kind of cold drink in hand. Oh, and she has some nice looking gloves too that help keep her hands toasty when using her magic.

❆ Sea-Salt Ice Cream ❆

“Hey come on mister, I’ll even lend you a free day of charge, no payment included too. And by the look of things, it’s clear you need my help anyway. Not like anyone else is gonna believe you on this matter here,” said Rika. The girl had her boots on the table again, something her employer would have pointed out if the girl before him wasn’t so damn cool.

Level-headed and chill; those were the words to describe her by and everyone in the area knew it. Frankly, she was surprised the guy hadn’t called her in earlier to deal with his complaints that seemed to involve cute girls. There was one who could apparently make you forget anything and another who kept tazing people with kimonos. Then there was that purple-haired chick who everyone was concerned if they were even a chick…..but she was getting ahead of herself.

“Look, I dunno exactly what these three lovely gals did, but it sounds like they didn’t pay their tab or something. And it’s not like anyone else has free time to hunt them down. Why don’t you let me have the job?” she inquired again, leaning in just a bit further. “I’ll make good on your word too. Trust me, I’m a professional,” she assured with confidence.

❆ Theme ❆

[Mega Birb]

I've got my CS ready, dark mage has been taken. Now if my internet would work...

[The1Rolling1Boy]

Chara

Name: Chara
Age: 16
Gender: Born Female but is genderfluid so she would look male some days
Race: Human... What more do you want?
Height: 4'10
Weight: 89 pounds


Appearance: Chara is pale skinned, with dusty brown hair that she cuts herself to shoulder length with either a dagger or a pair of rusty scissors so it's never even and bright striking red eyes that are like fire, and when she stares you in the eyes you would feel like you soul itself is being set on fire and burned alive.

Character Concept: Chara is an independent, snotty, and rude person who keeps their emotions to themselves and just minds their business living their life one day to the next just trying to get by on what little that they may have. She is normally feared by people which cause her to be pretty lonely but it doesn't phase her that much though and she does have depression and sometimes suicidal thoughts and she has tried to kill herself because of the fact that people are scared of her and her never really knew her birth parents and her adopted parents didn't help with it so she ran away and she is nowhere living on her on top of rooves of houses and different buildings

Combat, Abilities and Skills: Chara is really skilled with a dagger and agility and can make a knife or something that is sharp or able to cause pain out of anything, she is also really good at lying, stealing, bribing, blackmailing, and dancing. She is really good at dancing and does it when no one is looking or around just out of boredom

Equipment and Inventory: Chara would often carry a pocket knife, two daggers, and sometimes a pistol but that's only when she is planning on stealing something

Other: She is not completely original but some of it is from the undertale fan base page but it doesn't say much about her characteristics, so I had to make up a good part of it, the picture is from a undertale au called dancetale that I have been addicted to lately,

Sample Post/Introduction: "Try to catch me you dirty little mutts!" *Chara chuckles and darts off her backpack stuffed full of money, fruit, and bread to the point it's barely able to close, she holds her dagger in one hand and her pistol in the other hand ready for anything* {Lets what you guys will do if I do this} *Chara smirks and jumped up onto of a parked car and climbs onto of a house and bounced from roof to roof making her way back to an abanded building that she stays at until someone finds her there and kicks her out for trespassing on city-state land* "They are so slow"

I'm hoping through the rp, I would be able to make it so that Chara opens up more as she meets new people and finds out that not everyone is scared of her and that world isn't that bad of a place to be... I also went over the limit but I just got so into the typing I forgot about it, and I hope that doesn't tax me so much that I can't be in this rp because I really wanna be in it

[CelticSoldier]

OK, so my CS is up, tell me what you think...

Elnariel

Name: Elnariel Caldor
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 6”7’ / 205cm
Weight: 11st/ 70kg

Appearance: A very tall, thin, scholarly man, with pale skin and brown eyes. He wears thin, wire frame glasses, his hair short and neat, and always a crisp, black suit.

Character Concept: One of the many librarians who work within the grand library, Elnariel is often overlooked by the others, sometimes even completely forgotten, due to his tendency to study the literature in the more isolated sections of the library.This is also the reason he is privy to much lore that no-one ever knew even existed. He has used this knowledge….dubiously, and has many underworld contacts.

Combat, Abilities and Skills: Elnariels affinity is with fire, handy for lighting up dark places. However, due to it’s tendency to burn books to ash, his primary focus has been control. He can wreath something in flames without it burning, or create a wall of fire that only harms those who pass through it. He also carries a long, silver topped cane, which he wields with some efficiency.

Equipment and Inventory: He usually carries a pocket sized book, the one that’s he is presently reading. He also carries an index of all the books he’s read, cross referenced with their location in the library, it also contains books which he would like to find at some point. His cane is crafted of polished oak wood, topped with a silver swans head.

Other:

Sample Post/Introduction: Deep in the recesses of the grand library, a single, glowing flame hovers over an ancient wooden table, illuminating the pages of an even more ancient tome. “Hmmm, interesting,” mumbled the thin figure hunched over the cracked parchment, “this could revolutionise my methods.” He stood, stretching to his full height, before picking a book off the pile below the table, and placing it on the floor in front of him. “Now.” He whispered, stretching his fingers towards the book. Suddenly, it burst into flames, fire licking at the pages and rippling across the cover. Yet the book itself remained untouched.A thin smile crossed the man's lips, “Perfect.”

[TheWendil]

I'm pretty sure the Sample Post size has to be more than a single paragraph.

[KoL]

Having a certain semblance of structure to the post would be the ideal, so it's harder to achieve with a single paragraph, but not impossible. In truth two would be the idea length, I think.

What I want to avoid the most of all are really walls of text, since those are supposed to be simple CSs, for a relatively old style fantasy RP, thus I don't need piles of info other then what might really come to use in the game.

Either way, I'll review the presented CSs later.

[Mega Birb]

@KoL Here you are, resident Dark Mage. The ears are a coincidence, so now all the warped Elven races need dog/cat ears now.

Sagant "Redeye" Reikus

"I gave up a life of ignorant savagery to get where I am now, I will fight for every inch of what I've earned."

GENERAL

Name
Sagant “Redeye” Reikus

Age
27

Gender
Male

Race
Goblin

Height
5’3” – 1.6m

Weight
112lbs. – 50.80kg

Personality
A tricky and educated exception to the standard rabble of his kind, Sagant is someone that plays his cards close to his chest. While often underestimated because of his race, he’s a brutal combatant that relies heavily on dark magicks to see his way through a scrap and otherwise achieve his goals. While he rarely relies on a physical means to do his thing, he carries a sword for such occasions.

History
In Sagant’s own words, there isn’t much to say about his past. He was an ordinary goblin living in the broken world with his eyes on the treasures within the megalopolis of Aquaria. The only thing that set him apart from the rest, really, was the want of the literary treasures rather than those of gold and silver. Given the cultural melting pot that was the city he dreamed of, he walked in through the front gate under the condition that he gave an oath to cause no harm to the citizens and morally good people of Aquaria. Since his word and signature were all that was needed, the venture to his future was simple enough.

Beyond that, there isn’t much to tell. He began to study the arcane arts while he learned of the world, and started a focus on Dark and Shadow magic in a sort of way to represent the majority of his race. He hated to enforce the stereotypes, though most of them were correct, and those two came most naturally to him anyhow.

COMBAT & ABILITIES

Fighting Style
Natural Magic – Pulling his power from himself, Sagant chose this form of spellcasting mostly due to a subtle Fey ancestry in his bloodline and a want to know exactly when his powers would be cut off.

Dark Mage – Simply the best term for someone with an affinity for the Greater Elements of Darkness and Shadow. While not as powerful as someone with a strong focus with one or the other, Sagant can more than hold his own with a running combination of the two, along with dashes of the other elements, excepting light.

Abilities
Fey Ancestry – Sagant, being a Goblin, has a little bit of Elven blood mixed into his family several generations back. As a result, he has what could be called a much larger mana pool than most and can cast spells for longer.

Skills
Persuasive – Sagant will often use his powers to convince merchants to give his party a discount, threaten potential enemies, or otherwise work something in his favor.

Historian – His extensive time spent in the Grand Library has awarded him a knowledge of the past few have acquired… along with a ton of useless information.

Equipment
Veil of Discord – A cloak Sagant wears on the regular, this piece of gold-trimmed fabric carries an enchantment that reduces any magical resistance nearby enemies may have if activated.

Stone Guard – A shoulder guard sneakily taken from his clan’s leader when Sagant left for Aquaria. It provides a transparent shield around his body that won’t necessarily stop a sword, though it will take the edge off of it.

Azure Dream – A sapphire gem suspended from Sagant’s right-most earring. It harbors an enchantment that causes him to seem only slightly more persuasive than he already is.

Galdur Blackblade – A short sword layered in Dark magic, capable of sapping energy from its victims and into its wielder’s body.

Inventory
-Charcoal
-Several rolls of paper
-Three leather-bound tomes, filled with spells and extraneous information
-Four water skins

OTHER

Theme – Alternative Root

SAMPLE TEXT

The stocky figure of the Goblin mage Redeye stalked through the advance camp his clan had set up on a warfront. This was the day, the day he took charge of his own life and stopped taking orders from an Ogre with the IQ of a goldfish. As the battlemage assigned to the unit, he was often regarded with suspicion and treated almost as a slave. Fetch this, conjure that, ensure we win this war! Well he was done, done with their wants and needs, done with being their servant…

Tonight, he took his revenge. He wrapped up his near-bare feet in a thick layer of dark magic, silencing his steps as he strode to the largest tent at the top of the camp. The guards outside were asleep, leaning on their spears while they snored. They’re loss, they’d lose the chance to appease their war god with the blood of betrayal. Redeye stepped past his former allies, coming to the sleeping figure of his leader in an oversized bed. Tall he was, coming to double the Goblin’s height, and likely triple his weight. A glutton if one existed, and now that would come back to bite him in the ass. The mage took a pair of rank-smelling pants from the ground and pulled the belt from them. It was the buckle he was after, a powerful artifact that the brute owed his longevity to, and would soon change hands once again. While he was working, the behemoth stirred, earning a reaction from the short fellow and causing him to speed the process up. While the warchief awoke slowly, Redeye couldn’t help but smirk. The Stone Guard was his, and he was now binding the armor piece to his shoulder while the shadows cast by the lone torch in the room began shifting. Now was the time.

”Rotgut, old friend, I’ve enjoyed our time together, though I must say…” He chuckled to himself while dark clouds formed around his hands, the shadows in the tent moving erratically now. ”I’m through being your servant.” He held his arms out, hands splayed, as dark tendrils shot from his palms to the commander, and began to tear him apart. A more morally ambiguous decision would be hard to find. To kill a horrible being with a cruel, painful method?

Well, it’s all in the past now.

[RoflsMazoy]

@KoL Alright, I finished mine. Just one point of interest, which is whether or not a shield with a rotating handle would fit with the technology of the time, just asking to be certain.

Kreiss Stahl

Name: Kreiss Stahl
Age: 19
Race: Human
Appearance: Very short black hair and very dark eyes. He usually keeps a fairly neutral expression mostly because it's just his natural state.

Height: 194 centimeters
Weight: Heavy
Armor: Medium-Heavy
Jump height: Still pretty high
Biceps: Deceptive

Character Concept: Try to imagine the kind of guy who was so bad at swords that, in a fight, he never usually bothered to even draw it and just beat people with his shield while his team-mates took care of the rest. Then try to picture the same guy, now with a bigger shield, picking up a second similar shield, sort of as a joke. Finally, picture the man, who is currently wielding two-shields, wading through a horde of the undead to reach his team-mates, beating them back with a whirlwind of blunt steel, all the while thinking; Damn, this is fuckin' rad. And now you have a pretty good picture of Kreiss Stahl. He's the guy who uses two shields and he ain't afraid to go balls deep because he's got two freakin' shields and there ain't anything on the planet that can touch a guy behind two shields.

Combat and Skills: Kreiss is a heavy bruiser type of fighter, who matches his unconventional style with unexpected mobility. He has distinctly average speed for wearing heavy armor, but he never stops moving. His stamina seems close to bottomless, and he is nigh unstoppable with two shields on. Trying to stop his run carries a serious risk of great-shield to the face, and after getting hit once it usually works well as a deterrent.

Kreiss is also very experienced with setting up kills for archers and long-range mages who want the sweet satisfaction of sniping someone out of mid-air. Despite his build, he can easily get under an opponent and slam them upwards into the air. Obviously it doesn't work on certain opponents, but usually it can make for a few easy picks. He uses Earth magic to boost his strength when against heavier opponents, but he isn't very well trained in it and he can only apply it in short bursts.

Equipment: He wears medium-heavy armor which he keeps well maintained. He also has a collection of shields to suit various purposes, but he usually carries around rectangular great-shields and a reasonably heavy round shield on his back just in case. His favorites are custom made great-shields which are able to turn and lock around the handle so that Kreiss can take a better offensive stance when using them. He also carries the adventuring supplies if the next trip will take a while.

Other: Kreiss is a freelance adventurer. He never had a set party he always went with to begin with, so he is quite well known for being the guy who uses two shields.

Sample Post

"One!" He shouted as the Kobold flew into the air. An arrow from nearby finished it in one shot. The sound of metal on metal resounded as the Kobold's friends made a feeble attempt to revenge their brethren. Unfortunately for them, they would be joining him soon.

One of the Kobolds took a great-shield slam to the face and was sent sprawling, while the other one's neck ended up in Kreiss' grip. He threw the Kobold up into the air and started gathering mana. As the Kobold came down, strength surged through his body, his shield rotated 90 degrees, and he slammed the Kobold with a backhanded uppercut, sending it up again.

"Two!" He shouted as an arrow pierced its head. He was sort of forgetting who the arrows were coming from but he'd remember when he looked at them again. The only thing on his mind right now was the last Kobold.

His mana surged again, as his arm slipped out from the handle of his great-shield and he took aim.

"Three."

[TheWendil]

I'll finish my CS tomorrow.

[Themerlinhawk]

CS

Name: Avienus Magnus Cassius (Avi for short)
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 174



Appearance: Avienus has a hard build and fair skin of someone who started his life as a sailor. The Stormcrack diviner’s dark hair is almost always swept back into a que to keep it out of his face and out of his way during his work. Avi’s eyes are grey and flecked with blue giving them the look of clouds. The beginning of crow’s feet from smiling and laughing have ringed his eyes giving him the look of a man who has lived well in a short time. The diviner maintains his calluses from his youth on a ship which now double as swordsman's calluses. Avienus face is a study in fine lines from a family that once meant something to Aquaria but now is just a fine face on a sturdy frame.

Character Concept: Avienus Magnus Cassius was born a double affinity mage. Prior to his time in Aquaria; Avi spent much of his teenage years serving as a sailor on a ship. During the formative years of his youth he picked up the moniker: Stormcrack Diviner. An air and water mage Avi learned to pr3dict storms for his vessel. After this he returned to Aquaria where he took on the work of developing his magics fully. While Avi primarily focuses his efforts as a Diviner and fortune teller he has not lacked for progress and a competent battle mage and adventurer for those seeking the edge of someone with Avi’s rather unique skills. For those who met him after his time as a sailor most know him as Mistarot Magnus; one of Aquarius finest seers.

Combat, Abilities and Skills:

Seer: Avienus specialty is the ability to see the future as well as other places and occasionally the past. Much of this stems from a combination of water and air magic with which he earned his name the Stormcrack Diviner. Early on in his life Avi learned to predict storms and foul weather which eventually he learned to control as well as predict their coming. Following his return to Aquaria; Avi quickly picked up the ability to read Tarot which earned him the monicker Mistarot.

Weather Mage: Avi’s expertise with water and air magic in combination has given him the powerful ability to call storms, lightning, fog and inclement weather as well as clear such weather when it is naturally occurring.

The Knight of Gales: During his time in Aquaria Avi acquired his signature tarot deck and weapon of choice. A Tarot card deck composed of four suits that differ from the traditional suits but have corresponding reads: Gales (Wands), Squalls (Swords), Waves (Pentacles), Thunder (Cups). The deck itself is functions to hold several spell rotes but the deck also functions as a lethal throwing weapon. Supplementing his ability to throw the cards with deadly force; Avi is also a fantastic card player and cheap side show magician when it comes to card tricks.
Shiprat: Carrying over from his time onboard a ship Avi is a fantastic gymnast and incredibly coordinated on the deck of a ship as well as on land.

Blood on the deck: Avi is not a master swordsman but he is certainly an unorthodox swordsman as he is fully capable of wielding a cutlass in some of the strangest places: slippery decks, tight corridors and on steeps stairs.

Harmonica: Avi plays a mean harmonica in addition to his other talents.

Equipment and Inventory:

The Mist Tarot: Avi’s deck of tarot cards are a flexible metal which utilize his air magic to make them perform strange curves and impact at blinding speeds. The deck also contains a few rote spells which Avi has stored so that they can be used quickly and almost instantly.

Beyond the Tarot Avi carries a cutlass and a Tomahawk which is perfectly suited for both melee combat and as a close range throwing weapon. Both weapons have been with him since his time on board the Green Damsel. Beyond that he carries a few items for adventuring a his functions as a seerer.

Other:

Theme

Sample Post/Introduction:

Avi crouched in a hallway in the a building on the outskirts of Aquaria. It was in the older section of the city where people came to hunt for treasures. A Diviner’s cross was spread out in front of him and the last Heir of the Cassius line carefully studied the cards turned over in front of him. What the mercenaries were looking for was definitely here and probably in the catacombs beneath the building. The buildings in the mansion complex were old enough to be built closer to the tunnels but it still didn’t mean that the item was absolutely here.

Footsteps echoed down the hall behind him and he carefully collected up the cards. Tucking the deck into its case he turned to look at the man coming down the hall. Hannigan, an older mercenary with a lattice work of scars on his left cheek. It was Ilantian islander scoring; a form of torture but given that it was only on part of Hannigan’s face there was no doubt he'd escaped or been rescued before the true art had begun.

“What do the cards say Mistarot?”

Avi shrugged. “It's here alright but I don't think we should be searching the mansion. I suspect whatever it is that Alister is after will probably be in the catacombs. Hannigan nodded as if this was not unexpected. The Diviner had taken this job not knowing what the item was because the Black Basilisk Guild had offered to pay double his usual rate if he would take the job not knowing what they were after. All things considered it was a sketchy offer at best but he needed the coin. Drawing air magic through the corridor he let the current drift over his fingers as he checked on the others using the displacement of air from their movements to pinpoint them.

“We should get a move on.”

Hannigan nodded and grunted in affirmation and the two started towards the group of mercenaries returning from their search

I'll format it pretty when it's moved to the character tab

[KoL]

So, after some delay, here's the first round of revisions:

@TheWindel: You're good, jut finish your CS and you're approved.

@CelticSoldier: You're approved as well.

@Mega Birb: Ohoho! That's the stuff, that CS was really cool from head to toes. I'll even disconsider the fact that you managed to sneak a goblin on my city when I'm thinking on the best way to skin y'all.Either way, approved as well.

@RoflsMazoy: You are good as well. As for your question, I don't think that such a device would be out of bounds, but certainly it's a custom stuff, so you won't be buying a replacement for it so easily if it breaks, just telling ya.

@Themerlinhawk: You're approved as well. Actually, that tarot deck as a nice name to it, it could come to be interesting IC, since it's the same as the title of the Knight of Legend Arianna Weiss, The Knight of the Gales.

All who were approved can move their CSs to the CS and begin posting IC at your leisure. bear in mind that we won't have a post rotation or something like this established for the time being, but let at least a couple people post before you do so again.

Now, for the last issue:

@The1Rolling1Boy: Your character is not bad per se, but that writing sample worries me. It's not the length or anything like this but the way you wrote it, since I won't really take that kind of writing IC. I'll ask that you redo that in proper prose format, before accepting your character and, once you are accepted, that you don't write like that IC, since it really feels bad to read.

Everything else is good, but that tiny bit really worries me. So, sorry for that. Fix the issue and you can consider your CS approved.

[Themerlinhawk]

@KoL the deck itself is called the Mist Tarot but his ability to use it as a weapon was what I called the Knight of Gales but that's an interesting coincidence. Although the deck will have a litteral: Knight of Gales card know it so that could be REALLY interesting

[duskshine749]

Is this still open to joining? It looks real neat, and if this is still open I'd like to start thinking of what I'd play. Don't wanna make a character just to be told it's full, y'know?

[KoL]

@duskshine749

Yes, we still have space for a few more characters. You can join if you want to, don't worry.

[duskshine749]

@KoL awesome, I'm not at home today but I'll try to get something up for tomorrow

[Themerlinhawk]

@KoLWere you going to do an opening post or are we weapons free?

The Opening Post has been there ever since the thread is up. Just check the IC tab... :)
