[OOC] Dead Roleplay, Ignore

[bmxbrat484]

Dawn Memoli

_{Weaknesses: Given the fact that she relies more on flight and her Gift in a confrontation, Dawn is physically weak and can be overtaken easily without her ability.} She has a crippling fear of fire as well, and will lock up when near larger flames.

_{Brief History: Dawn’s earlier years were spent living with her parents and brother in a peaceful community developing within the Ashland. While hardly impressive, it was a simple enough lifestyle, and with the Gifts of the residents, the town’s residents lived comfortably. Their prosperity did not go unnoticed, however, and they were eventually stormed by a pack of raiders.} Dawn’s parents were killed in the blaze that followed, and she was left to wander the wastes in their absence.

@EchoicChamber

Fuckin' whoops xD Eira you bitch, unknowingly playing Dawns fears like that..

[EchoicChamber]

@bmxbrat484 Yeah, Eira's fire powers are a big reason why Dawn ain't too comfortable around her yet, haha.

By the way, to all the other people in that scene ( @Hyro @Conch Shell VII @Claw2k11) would y'all want to timeskip to the town in a few posts? Or would you rather not yet?

@EchoicChamber

You said y'all xD

Yeah let's get this RP rollin'.. rollin'..

rollin' on the river

@EchoicChamber

I have a question first, may I control his sister, and maybe his sister's husband as temporary characters, or do I have to make them as characters proper? I'm planning to use them to boost my character in a certain way...

[Conch Shell VII]

@EchoicChamber
I'm alright with that, myself.

[EchoicChamber]

@bmxbrat484 Ironically, despite living in the South, I say "y'all" online far more than I do in real life. It's just such a nice shortening. But yeah, I'll go ahead and get plot progression on the road very soon.

@Claw2k11 Temporary characters are fine! No point in making a character sheet if you don't plan on using them as true and proper characters, I feel. c:

How many posts/replies do you guys want to do before I call for a time skip? I don't want to steamroll too majorly or anything, so I want to see if any of you guys want to get certain somethings in before we move on.

[EchoicChamber]

Sorry that I haven't posted yet, by the way. I've been taking a class during the summer for credits, which means that my schedule has been a bit preoccupied lately. I'll try to write something soon, but apologies for the delay.

[thewizardguy]

I realize it's my turn to post, but Alex is just going to sit there watching until somebody's in need of his services. Seems like a bit of a waste making a post like that, so just skip over me this round.

[ScoundrelQueen]

Vit will be able to post tomorrow on that scene. She's at a Larp for her birthday weekend, right now.

[Claw2k11]

Ummm, yeah, I'm not sure how I should say this, but due to my personal life getting a bit... hard, my responses may get a bit erratic. I am in no way quitting this, but you should all know that I will not be able to reply as fast.

Speaking of, I might be able to get a reply up by tomorrow.

[EchoicChamber]

@Claw2k11 That's fine, Claw. Take your time when you need it. c: I hope that things get better for you soon.

[EchoicChamber]

Who's still here, by the way? Just wanted to check. c:

[thewizardguy]

@EchoicChamber
I remain here. Waiting for a good time to interject in the scene my char is in.

[SrslyAnArtist]

Ach, been busy what with summer classes and work, guys. I'll try to get up a respond post soon

[Nightknight]

@EchoicChamber Hello! I don't know if you are still accepting players but I like the concept present in this RP and I was wandering if I can post a character idea. That being said, do to college obligations I might only be able to post once a week. I hope that will be enough to keep up with the pacing of your RP.

[EchoicChamber]

@Nightknight Hey, Night! We're still very much accepting new members! c: Once a week is perfectly fine with the current pacing, I believe.

[Nightknight]

@EchoicChamber Ok! I have an idea in mind. I will work on it than post it in the OC. I'm not sure how they will join the setting but we can discuss things from there.

[EchoicChamber]

@Nightknight Sounds good! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or anything while you're working on your character.

[bmxbrat484]

Just so you guys know, Eira speaks in a very light tone. Meaning she never sounds upset at all. Curious, maybe, or neutral.. That's about it. Unless specifically stated, her tone will always be such.

Hayate Yoshi

Full Name: Hayate Yoshi

Nicknames/Aliases: Kamikaze

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Gift: Hayate has the ability to manipulate the very air around him to act either as a weapon or a shield. He can send foes flying or pull them towards him with powerful gusts of wind. He can also increase the amount of oxygen his brain receives, increasing his ability to regenerate and replenish energy and stamina. Hayate can propel himself at high speeds, can fly in mid-air or float gently to the ground. His most devastating ability is creating miniature tornados, but this requires an immense amount of concentration and energy to achieve. He can also deprive his opponents of oxygen but he has to be within a meter and still requires a lot of concentration to do so.

Loyalty: Would give his life for Erubesco

Description: Hayate stands at a solid 6 feet with a very muscular and well toned body due to years of intense training and fighting. He has a somewhat large and cleanly shaven forehead, his jet black hair tied into a long ponytail to symbolize his loyalty to his nation. His nose and chin are pointy, his face has a small straight mustache and a small stubble on his chin. His eyes are a deep blue, like the ocean, and beneath his left eye is a small c-shaped scar left from a great battle.

Hayate is very pragmatic and simple when it comes to his clothing. He is rarely seen without wearing some form of kimono, usually his black one with a white undershirt, but he does have a kimono for every color of the rainbow and for every season. He loves kimonos because they provide comfort and modesty without sacrificing flexibility. On the occasions that he is not wearing a kimono or some sort of uniform, he prefers dressing lightly, favoring loose clothing. When doing hard labour, he wears cargo pants or shorts with a tank top.

Personality: Hayate is stoic and soft spoken, preferring actions to words for getting his point across, though when he does speak, he says what he means for his word is his bond. While he is slow to trust others, he genuinely does care for other people's well-being and he would fight to the death to protect anyone whom he regards as a friend. Hayate views himself as a warrior through-and-through, and above all else a man of integrity, conviction and honor. He shows a deep and grateful kindness and respect for his allies and friends and would go out of his way to protect the weak. When in combat against an enemy, he would not hesitate to cut them down, fighting savagely and without mercy. If the world is to ruled by the sword, Hayate would want his sword to smite the vengeful and spare the merciful.

Skills: Hayate through rigorous mental discipline and meditation has managed to control his gift to a very fine degree, such as filtering the air of impurities or controlling the oxygen levels in small pools and ponds. Regardless of his control over his gift, he knows he must give everything he has, mind body and spirit in battle and must never rely solely on his gift. While he does know how to use a number of firearms, he isn't the best shot and much rather prefers getting into close quarters combat with his enemy and uses his wind powers to do just that. He is trained in various forms of martial arts and is skilled in disarming his opponents and knocking them of balance. His favorite and signature weapon though, and one he has learned to use with terrifying efficiency with is the katana. He will carry firearms into battle but when the chips are down, he will always use his beloved razor sharp titanium katana. He can also use wakizashis or shortswords when he is without his trusty katana. Hayate dons samurai armor made from titanium plates and held together by tough fibers. It provides him great protection while still offering great mobility for him.

Weaknesses: Hayate is willing to put others, even his own subordinates before his own well-being. While he does not believe this to be a weakness, it can result in him abandoning his initial goals to prioritize someone else's safety.

Hayate’s personal katana is his pride and joy, and if separated from it he will go through tremendous and even deadly risks to get it back.

His honor and pride mean more to him than his own life, and he takes great offense to anyone that accuses him of being dishonorable. He is proud of his fighting prowess and will rarely turn down a challenge or a duel, regardless if he can actually win.

His fighting style prioritizes speed and precision as opposed to brute strength, putting him at a disadvantage against opponents with strong physical strength or endurance.

While he can reach high speeds with his wind throttle, but he can’t steer very much when he uses it, putting him at risk at slamming into something with great force. For this reason, he usually needs a straight, clear shot to maximize it’s effectiveness.

While it does not take too much effort to fly, he does risk plummeting if he gets hit hard while in the air.

Brief History: Hayate was born the eldest child of an honorable knight who taught him to value life and the virtues of the unspoken bushido code of the samurai of old. From an early age he became enamored with the way of the warrior and anything worth loving was worth protecting. While he considered himself fortunate to have been born in a military high class family, he never looked down upon anyone from a lower class, because he knew that despite possessing far less than him, they still worked tirelessly to achieve their dream. This inspired Hayate to reach his dream, to one day become a great benevolent ruler, one who would use his power to serve his people rather than the other way around. After all, a king would be nothing without his subjects, for it is they who granted the king his power in the first place. Therefore a king cannot command respect from his people unless he had earned it, and that is the man Hayate desires to become, no matter the cost.

Other: Hayate has a younger sister named Sakura who serves in the infantry. He was given the nickname Kamikaze by his infantry men because of his fiery passion in combat and the sheer tenacity of his attacks were “like a roaring tempest”.
