Tales of Arcadia - Fantasy, Magic, Monsters, Adventure

[Hammerman]

Here it is. Don't blame me if it's too lewd.

Hider

Name: Lyra Kannagi

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Personality: Mischievous, perverted and a secret exhibitionist, she enjoys flashing people her rump in an "accidental" way, pretending that it is her just being clumsy and ditzy. She enjoys the surprised and bashful look on their faces. Other than that, she is a kind and caring girl, always giving a smile to anyone she meets.

Background:
Her life before she was brought to Arcadia was quite ordinary. She was just a high-schooler, albeit a popular one. Her hobby is "forgetting" to wear panties when going to school, and then giving "accidental" teases and views to her friends and classmates. When her female friends would ask why she was going commando, she would simply answer that she forgot, while pretending to be genuinely embarrassed by the revelation. Due to the amount on just how often she "forgot" to wear them however, she earned the nickname of the ditz beauty of the school, which fit perfectly with what she wanted.

One day, as she went home from her school, she was hit by a truck as she crossed the road. The next thing she saw after her impending death was a beautiful angel coming down from the skies, wearing a traditional white robe/toga like the Greeks wore. As she mumbled on and on about her offer of sending her to Arcadia, all she could pay attention to was the fact that the angel wasn't wearing any panties either, easily visible thanks to her short robe fluttering and her floating above her. So when the angel asked her whether she accepted, she just nodded absentmindedly, sealing the deal. It turned out the angel was wearing the transparent legendary panties of the holy maiden, as she soon took it off and handed them over to her. And so she arrived to Arcadia holding the pair of panties in her hand.

Skills: She does well in her academics and sports, but her biggest skill is certainly her acting of being an innocent, ditzy girl.

Relic: Undergarment of the Holy Maiden
Its appearance is that of an ordinary pair of white panties. But when put on, it somehow turns invisible, making the wearer look like she's going commando.

Its abilities are:
1. Clothing Remembrance and Replication: Will remember every kind of clothing its wearer ever wears and can replicate it on the wearer's body right away.
2. Clothing Modification : Can modify any clothes the wearer wears on the fly, even itself.
3. Clothing Manifestation : Can grant power to the wearer according to what kind of clothing the wearer wears. So if the wearer were to wear a set of knight armor for example, it will enhance the wearer's attack and defence, while if they were to wear a mage's outfit, it will enhance the wearer's magic.

@Hammerman

I mean, I have no say in this.

But I approve xD

Right amount of lewdness and utility~

[Bushman501]

@Hammerman

It is glorious! Can definitely make an impression.

As for my water relic in more detail, I am thinking of it just starting out as a necklace that allows the manipulation of water via direct contact or refilling a container with water already inside it, then as the relic gets stronger move on to things like summoning summoning water from thin air, maybe even manipulating more complex compounds with water as a ingredient and even inside living beings to a degree eventually.

[Experiment 249]

Here's the current relic idea for my soon to be finished character, Eliwood.
The Traveler's cloak: Run slightly faster, jump slightly higher, fall slightly slower and get waaay less sunburn than anyone else on the road. Wearers of this cloak find moving around much easier. (Comes with free walking stick if found in an area with trees around it!)

Well this is the relic I'm going for, character sheet still in progress. Obviously it has potential to grow, maybe flight, waterwalking, gliding, any kind of travel based power really.

[Amedayis]

Oh heavens.

I am a wanderer. You can call me Wanderer Xiu, but my parents would have called me Amedayis, so I guess that works too haha. I stopped by because I saw this was active, and the title was intriguing. Could you guys perhaps fill me in on what's happening?

[Hammerman]

@Rune_Alchemist@Bushman501
Added her appearance pic, if you two are interested.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Gobby

Alright, so made a few more slight changes to the Relic. Basically, the traits gained are permanent but to use her 'beast form' so to speak, she'll need to actually have the gauntlets for now and she can only sustain the form for about a minute. Thought it'd just help it fall in line with a few other relics and such that have been proposed. Might be permanent later, but for now I think the permanence might be a bit much after thinking it over.

I really should start thinking these things through more...xD

Isana

Isana hasn't entirely been able to get rid of her work clothes from home yet. Dressed in a formal black and purple dress with white gloves that isn't exactly suited for survival in the wild.

---

---

Name: Isana Seiger
Gender:
Female

Age:
24

Personality:
Currently? Isana is a rather mild mannered individual. She has no idea how she ended up in arcadia in possession of something like 'The Bangles of the Beast lord' or at least, she doesn't want to accept what she saw. Either way, Isana tends to try and stay out of peoples way, and always tends to go with the path of least resistance in regards to how she accomplishes things. She's by no mean shy or non-talkative, but she tends to always go with the path that could put herself in a safer, less dangerous position even if it means stepping on others toes a bit. She absolutely loathes direct conflict and will always do her best to try and avoid it. By all means, she is a follower and not a leader.

She has absolutely no idea how she's supposed to use this...relic, but lately she's been feeling a tad bit more irritated and annoyed towards others and other strange urges.

Background:
Simply put? Isana was a disgruntled salary worker. Spent her life in a cubicle in front of a computer working for some ungrateful corporate schmucks. But, well, that's just how things worked. By the age of 22 she was well on her way to becoming a corporate drone and honestly just completely tired of life. By 24, she had pretty much given up hope on an exciting or better life. Working long work days and taking lots of overtime was just normal, even if she absolutely hated her superiors, there wasn't much she could do about it.

"Wouldn't it be better to be the one in control? The Alpha? The one who had power, so to speak?"

The thought occurred to her on her way home one night from the office. She has no idea where it came from, but it made her laugh. Oh sure, sure, her be the leader of something? Have a shred of power? Pfft, like that was going to happen. Sarcasm aside, it happened almost instantly. A large, silver haired beast stood in front of her, almost three stories tall. It looked like a lion of some sort - with wings and some sort of poisonous tail. A manticore of some sort? She was pretty sure that's what it was called. She was also fairly certain someone put something in those doughnuts she ate.

"Irritation. Frustration. You are weak, human, but you will do..."

Whatever this beast, whatever this creature was she couldn't be certain but she didn't get long to ponder it. The beast raised a powerful claw, certain it was going to crush her.

The next thing she knew, she was blasted off her feet and literally eating dirt.

"Don't waste this chance, human. If you wish to live, then hunt! Prove your worth to survive! Use this relic and carve your name into the forests!"

True enough, there were simple bracelets around her wrists. She has no idea what she is going to do now, except try and find some way to survive.

Skills:
Skills? Aside from following orders and knowing how to make herself seem as small and unassuming as possible, Isana doesn't have much in the way of special skills. That said, she is fairly resourceful when it comes to a number of things, and has an acute mind that can pick up on things rather quickly.

At times, when she must, she can be fairly persuasive and knows how to use words to her advantage.

Relic:
Bangles of the Beast Lord:
At first glance, these bangles seem to be made of simple polished wood and string, decorated with feathers and a number of colorful stones. On the sides seem to be some carving of a great beast of some sort.

These bangles allow the wearer to take essence from a down foe, and steal trait of theirs be it physical trait such as a tigers ears or a special ability such as a spiders poison. As these bangles follow the rule of 'Survival of the fittest' and encourage the hunting of stronger, different foes to gain power. In essence, the bangles allow one to perform a transformation similar to what one could expect of a 'were-creature' of some sort. Drawing upon the bangles power, the wearer is able to summon these traits onto their person and gain the accumulated abilities of these traits.

At the moment, the form is exhausting to maintain and Isana can realistically only sustain it for around a minute before she tires.

A few limitations are:
The creature must be flesh and blood, or otherwise 'living'. She'll gain nothing from spectral entities or undead and have a lot more difficult time fighting them with tooth, claw, and poison. Perhaps some sort of beast with some elemental abilities could help with that, though.

As of now, changes are permanent and will override any preexisting ability she has gained of a similar nature. Venom from a snake and venom from a spider won't make a more powerful venom, but rather one would replace the other.

She must take a trait from a downed foe regardless if she wants it or not if she is able, even if one would replace something else.

She must also land the lethal blow herself. No weakening it and letting others finish it off.

Also, the bangles grant no inherent abilities. Strength, speed, perception, etc. Nothing. She will have to figure out how to do such things herself before gaining any traits.

@Amedayis

Well, the easiest thing would be for you to check the first post in the thread - has any and all relevant information.

But basically, you're a human plucked from this world and given a 'relic' of some sort that starts out with limited power but gets stronger as the story progresses. Then we go fight monsters and stuff.

You'll have to ask Gobby about anything else he has planned, but for the moment the GM doesn't seem to be on much, so you might have to wait a few hours.

[Shirochankun]

Is this still accepting?

Finished my CS too

Nicholas

---

---

Name: Nicholas Thompson
Gender: Male
Age: 23

Personality: At first sight Nicholas may appear as a serious and responsible individual, but upon further inspection one realizes that he doesn't have much expression on his face since he has the habit of zoning out and has a very short attention span, causing him to constantly misheard or only partially hear sentences. This doesn't mesh exactly well with his policy of helping people when they need it and has caused more trouble out of simple situations many times.

Background:
As soon as Nicholas turned 18 he joined the police force of his little town in the middle of nowhere, mostly because his father also worked as a police officer, he could help people and it was the most interesting job relative to the town. Nicholas spent his days patrolling across the city, doing paperwork at the station and bringing down the occasional cat from the tree. It was not the action packed job the TV showed and that bored Nicholas to no end "At least I am getting paid for not doing much" he thought to himself.

One day as he finished paperwork on the dead man shift at the station he noticed a spider descending from the ceiling into his face. Nicholas quickly swatted it away, though he seemed to hear a tiny scream as the spider fell off. Not much time passed before he heard a tiny voice coming from the floor. While trying to investigate the source of the voice he inadvertently crushed it with his foot, leading to the voice becoming quiet and Nicholas thinking that his lack of sleep was starting to affect him.

Deciding to go get some coffee Nicholas went to the break room. When he opened the door he​ found instead of the normal room something more akin to a spider nest. Rubbing his eyes to check he wasn't dreaming he reached his hand to touch one of the webs to see if he was imagining it, it was not like he had anything better to do. Extending his arm he tried to reach one of the webs, losing his balance and falling into the nest.

Struggling to break free, Nicholas stopped when he saw the maker of the nest. The giant spider before him somehow looked intimidating and annoyed at the same time. The spider used one of his legs to grab some sort of staff and showed it to Nicholas. Giving an exasperated sigh the spider began to speak.

“I finally got your attention you little deaf monkey, now I was generous enough to grant your wish to take you out of bumfuck, nowhere to an interesting place. Now in exchange you will find the rest of my body with the help of this staff _{and become my vessel}….. Are you even listening?”

“Eh? Of course….it was something about….adventure and…ummm...monkeys ? ” Said Nicholas who instead of paying attention to what the spider was saying, wondered about the possible eating habits of a giant spider.

”Let's go with that” The spider said as he cut the webs holding Nicholas with the staff, making him fall off to a seemingly endless bottom. After opfalling for some time Nicholas fell face first to the ground, with the staff hitting him in the head not long after.

Skills:
As part of his training as a police officer Nicholas has some degree at using guns. Which doesn't serve him much when his relic is a meele weapon.

Relic:
Staff of the Spider King:
Made from the claws, fangs, and bones of the ancient creature known as the Spider King. Through magic and perhaps the spirit of the creature itself, when the staff manages to cut skin it releases the same type of venom the Spider King possessed, one that is not lethal but instead paralyzes the enemy and fills them with a sensation of hopelessness. There exist rumors about the relic being just part of the original relic, with its other half hidden when the first user became possessed by the creature the relic was made or the many tales about the users of the staff hearing a voice that is not theirs or dreaming they are trapped in a web. Since no evidence of another part of the relic has been found the story remains a myth, mostly associated to new and idealistic adventurers. Finally, the staff can make itself smaller to make it easier to carry.

[GamerXZ]

I'd also like to ask if you're still accepting.

[Aiyanna]

Interested! EDIT. Would also love to know if you're still accepting.

[Prewiga]

I've got a great idea for a relic if this thing is still open for joining?

[Bushman501]

Well, here is my CS.

Lisa

---

---

Name: Lisa Rigal

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Personality: Lisa Rigal is an optimist and competitive. Whenever a challenge comes up, Lisa likes to plan on how she will overcome the challenge or win rather than charge straight in. Socially, Lisa tends to have a few friends as opposed to many though she often attracts more attention than she intends. Lisa is also well-off, having been pampered by her parents since she was a child and so detests having to do any kind of menial labor to a degree. That being said, Lisa is well-mannered and polite to most individuals, even toward those that she detests. Lisa is a curious individual, often experimenting with different solutions to a problem if she ever comes across one or just poking her nose where it may not belong. To her, information is both fun to acquire and a source of power if necessary.

Finally, Lisa has an adventurous spirit that has rarely been satisfied from her many activities that she has attempted before being brought to Arcadia.

Background: Lisa Rigal was born into a family who was part of a large pharmaceutical corporation. In fact, Lisa's father, Conner Rigal was the CEO of a company called Rigal Pharmaceuticals based in the United States and has a presence in Europe and Asia. Lisa's mother, Elizabeth Rigal, on the other hand, worked for the United States government. Elizabeth never emphasized what she did for a living, but whenever Lisa got in trouble, it was usually from her mother as opposed to her father, who treated her to anything she wanted whenever he was home. However, Lisa was mostly taken care of by a caretaker be it a maid, butler or whoever they were.

As for Lisa's school life, Lisa goes to a prestigious private academy that has elementary, middle school and high school divisions for those that can afford to pay the bill the academy demands for enrollment. Even so, Lisa has been the center of attention numerous times during her life in academy for her looks, grades, and the various clubs she has joined to relieve her boredom including the archery club, swimming team, and the book club.

As for how Lisa ended up in Arcadia, the tale starts at 7PM on a warm night after Lisa just got back home. Lisa lived in a home that overlooked a waterfront and often stayed inside the room at the top. This room had the grandest view the house offered especially towards the waterfront. As Lisa was on her computer reading a book she took a quick glance out of her window. What she saw was a purple light floating across the lake in a pattern.

At first Lisa thought her eyes were playing tricks with her. After witnessing the same act for five minutes straight and becoming genuinely curious, Lisa could not help herself and went outside into the night air. Grabbing one of her father's speedboats, Lisa began to make her way toward the purple light.

The light stopped in the middle of the lake, seemingly allowing her to approach it. Before Lisa could get to the light, the boat began to shake. At first, there was only a small amount of annoyance caused by this event. However the boat tilted for an unknown reason, forcing Lisa to go overboard. Now underwater, Lisa began to swim back for her boat and toward the moonlit surface. Upon breaching the surface Lisa found the boat that she was in no longer there, replaced by a man who was fishing in a wooden boat with endless sea.

The man gazed upon her with a smile, as if her sudden breach of the peace was expected. "Caught another one with the waves of misfortune, I see. The man said, as if making an observation. "Here, take this. For you are one of the fated. And even if you are not, you will need it still!" Lisa felt a weight upon her neck in that instance. Upon investigation, it appeared a silver necklace with a sapphire jewel appeared on her neck. "Why are you giving me this? Why me?" Lisa asked, to which the man replied "Because I am bored. All of my catches have been boring, save you. After all, you are entertaining to watch!"

The light shifted and Lisa opened her eyes, revealing a lush forest before her eyes and herself laying down on the ground. She did not know what just happened, but what she did know was this was certainly too real to be a dream as she went to sleep, exhausted from this turn of events.

Skills:

Archery and gunnery- Lisa is a skilled archer and firearms user, having used a variety for recreational activities. However, the extent of her skill never went so far as to deal death to another living being save animals on a recreational hunt. Lisa has the melee capabilities of an average person.

Strategy and knowledge- Forming a strategy using her wide variety of knowledge is Lisa's go-to for any given situation. Though adaptable having no action plan at all, even a mediocre one, leaves Lisa in a spot of weakness.

Elegance- Lisa knows how to impress if needed, and this means a certain degree of elegance.

Strong Swimmer- Self-explanatory. Lisa is a good swimmer though she is obviously not going to compete in the Olympics.

Relic:
Necklace of the Waves-
This relic acts in a very simple manner: anyone who wears the necklace is given the ability to manipulate and, eventually, create water. At first the relic will have the requirement to have water already existing for the relic to work, and even then the manipulation may range from simply refilling a cup of water where water still exists or changing the direction water flows temporarily. Eventually, more complex methods may be done such as but not limited to creating water without a source nearby or preventing drowning via careful manipulation of water's properties.

[Experiment 249]

Almost done with the character sheet, when can we expect the ooc?

[shagranoz]

@Gobby

Room for one more?

[Experiment 249]

When you go 3/3 on dead interest checks.

On a roll it seems
