Name: Nozomi Okita

Username: Sen

Age: 16

Race:Elf

Class and Level:Sorcerer 90

Subclass and Level: Clown 85

Guild: Bud Virgin Logic

Bio:
Nozomi was always a curious person seeking to know why for a lot of things. As a child she lost most feeling in her legs leaving her paralyzed waist down. This made getting around a bit harder but she didn't let it stop her. Growing up she was often a frequent visitor of Akiba even when she was paralyzed giving her the “Fabled knowledge of a otaku”. It was also during one of her trips that she discovered eldar tale. A whole new world for her to explore and all that was enticing so she was quickly to join and explore a new world that was somehow familiar yet something unique as well. During her time in elder tale she chased after the tales and exploits of the debauchery tea party. The tales and adventures they had lead to her posting poems on the forums for the game about their adventures which garnered quite a bit of following. Eventually she gained friends and together they gathered many more and started their own adventures. Thus the guild known as “Bud Virgin Logic” was born. At the point an all female guild that had three leaders Sen, Nay, and Vel. They searched not for greatness or treasure rather they searched for the supposed item known on the forum as the “The answer” it was said to have been a book that contained all known lore and future lore of the game.

Personality: Nozomi is a quirky person and somewhat overbearing in her search for knowledge or how things works. In fact you can say that she can be somewhat of a Chuuni something she would deny with all her being. Despite her quirkiness she can be a capable and trustworthy person seeking to see things not as black and white or shades of grey and looks to the bright side of things despite everything that may happen. She can become serious when the situation calls for it allowing her to "switch gears" of sorts to better focus on the situation.

[Guess Who]

Convel McConnor

Appearance:

Armored

Unarmored

Real Name: Roukan Sato

Username: Convel McConnor

Age: 20

Race: Wolf Fang

Class and Level: Level 86 Guardian

Subclass and Level: Level 86 Berserker

Guild: The Condemned 105th Mercenary Company

Bio:
When asked what his favorite game was, Roukan would always answer Elder Tale with no hesitation. Ever since he could type on a keyboard, the young boy spent hours grinding for experience and gold, with many of his closest friends and relationships being formed while exploring the game's countless dungeons. The first and only guild he ever joined was The Condemned 105th Mercenary Company, a small group of about ten people that a jarhead friend of his created because the name sounded cool.

Outside of the game, Roukan would describe his life as boring and uninteresting. He had a job, was attending college, had friends and family, but he always felt like something was missing in his life. He tried out different hobbies, attempted the horrors of dating, but nothing seemed to give him the kind of excitement he longed for and every day felt like a struggle as he did his best to keep up the facade of contentment. The only place of enjoyment he ever found was his almost unhealthy fixation with Elder Tale, a game he would play more of if not for the distractions of every day life.

When the Apocalypse came and the players were trapped inside of the famous MMO, Roukan, who always preferred going by his username Convel than his real name, was the only one of his friends online, the rest of them having gotten bored and moved onto other games over the years. Unable to really enjoy the new expansion without a group of other players to support, especially with the thought that he might not ever see his family again, the only people he ever bothered spending time with outside of the game, the young man has been hopping from adventuring party to adventuring party for the past two weeks in the hopes of finding a new group to play with.

Personality:
Convel has a tendency to worry more about his comrades than his own well being, both on the battlefield and during downtime. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the man is an optimist, but really he just hides his negative thoughts and emotions so that his friends and teammates have someone to look up to when things get rough. He knows that one day all of his fears, frustrations, and grief will catch up with him, but for now he shoulders that burden to be the shining beacon of hope that the guild needs.

Equipment

• Conchobar's Bastard Sword: A might blade capable of being used either as a one handed weapon or two handed. Covel acquired it with his friends after farming the same dungeon for weeks upon weeks, having defeated the boss so many times that he still remembers their moveset.
• Unyielding Aegis: The only other Artifact-class equipment Covel owns, he ended up saving up and buying it at the auction house instead of farming for it as his quest to receive his sword still gives him nightmares.
• Convel's Nerdy Ass Helmet: Crafted by Convel's blacksmith friend, Barry the Shit Slinger. Description reads: Makes the wearer's dick look tiny in comparison to the stupid fucking unicorn horn on his head. Convel never cared enough to change the name or its description.
• Convel's Shitty Ass Chestpiece: Crafted by Convel's blacksmith friend, Barry the Shit Slinger. Description reads: Inflates the wearer's ego by making everyone think he works out, but really he's a weak ass bitch. Convel never cared enough to change the name or its description.
• Convel's Pansy Ass Bracers: Crafted by Convel's blacksmith friend, Barry the Shit Slinger. Description reads: Protect's the wearer's hands so they don't accidentally break their nails while hiding behind their pussy shield. Convel never cared enough to change the name or its description.
• Convel's Crappy Ass Greaves: Crafted by Convel's blacksmith friend, Barry the Shit Slinger. Description reads: Keep's the wearer's toes safe from being stubbed on all of corners they seems incapable of fucking avoiding. Convel never cared enough to change the name or its description.
• Wolf Howl: A whistle that allows Convel to summon his mount, a giant gray wolf.

Skills List

• Anchor Howl: Establish yourself as a threat to the enemy by raising a loud cry, a powerful Guardian provocation skill that instantaneously raises your own Hate. Since you are taking the brunt of the enemy's attacks, you gain a DEF boost for a short while.
• Cross Slash: Pooling your power into your brandished weapon, strike twice in a shape of an X.
• Taunting Blow: Increase Hate towards yourself while attacking by using large gestures.
• Shield Smash: Simply beat someone up with your equipped Shield. The damage dealt is not very high, but it has many effects such as disrupting troublesome attacks or the casting of magic spells, and daunting enemies.
• Shield Swing: Wielding a Shield, rush into an enemy and deal a heavy blow to an opponent. This skill consumes slightly more MP, but has a wider range of effect; if correctly positioned, the user can hit multiple enemies. The damage output of this skill depends on the Shield's Defense stat.
• Castle of Stone: Become the pinnacle of defense, an immobile fortress of stone that can take all damage for a short duration. It is one of the strongest defense skills, exclusive to Guardians. When this skill is in effect, the user's body looks like it is made of marble.
• Covering: Before enemies can get too close, stand in their way to defend another member of your team and take the damage for them, another signature skill of the Guardian class. Because you have to be in position before activating the skill, the party's formation is important.
• Iron Bounce: Take the opponent's attack on a strong part of your equipment, reducing the damage. There is a chance that this skill will automatically activate when you are hit. As the proficiency level of this skill increases, the amount of damage taken is further reduced, and the chance of the skill activating automatically increases.
• Steady Bulwark: Ready your shield in a defensive pose to reduce damage. A dome-shaped light encases your allies within a certain range, applying the damage reduction effect to them as well. The higher the Defense of your shield, the greater the effect of this skill.
• Vicarious Shield: Prevent a fatal blow at the expense of your shield. The moment your HP drops to 0, a portion of your HP will be instantly restored.
• Heavy Armor Stance: Stick close to an opponent, preventing them from moving away from you. However, you have to be careful of pushback skills that could disrupt this stance. When this skill is in effect, there is a dull chain between you and your target.
• Resilience: Showing the durability of a Guardian's strong body, recover HP during battle as if you were resting. HP is gradually recovered, but not at the rate of a Druid's heal-over-time spells.
• Taunting Shout: Basic provocation skill that targets one opponent and directs the attention towards you. With this, your allies can attack without worry of becoming targeted. When this skill is used, there is an air wave effect around you as you raise a loud cry.
• Step Over: If there is a trap, you can break it by force and take damage in return. If it is successful, the trap will then be disabled for a period of time, and your allies can pass through safely.
• Wolf's Olfaction: You may recognize and act against hidden characters.
• Lunatic Armor: You double both your damage output and damage taken.

Matsuko

Name: Matsuda Yuuko
Username: Matsuko "The Great Gourmand"
Age: 19
Race: Human
Class Level 87 Samurai
Subclass Level 90 Food Fighter

Guild:
<The Silver Spoon>
The Silver Spoon guild is a craftsman guild that is mainly comprised of those with the subclass of <Chef>, <Fisherman>, and <Farmers>. Only a few <Food Fighters> are allowed into the guild after showing their knowledge in food within Elder Tale. Once part of the guild, players gain benefits such as free food.

Bio:
Matsuda Yuuko was born into a fairly ordinary family. And by fairly ordinary, she was pressured from the beginning of middle-school to get rank one in all of her classes. As such, she had tutoring for the better part of her week and if she wasn't busy studying, she was asleep. Her lifestyle caused a rumor to spread around that she was cold and aloof. Yuuko wasn't about to try correct them as it would only lead to more misunderstandings, something she didn't have time to deal with. Thus her social life was non-existent. In the latter years of highschool, she began to binge eat due to stress which soon became a habit, leading to her huge appetite. By some miracle of genetics, her metabolism was able to keep up but her hunger for food merely increased. Many a time has Yuuko faked going to Cram school to cram a pile of hamburgers into her mouth. Disguised, of course.

After overhearing a conversation between her class' resident 'Otaku', she decided to look into this game they called "Elder Tale". The way they spoke about it intrigued her in a way she didn't expect. "Classes", "Freedom" and "Fantasy" were some buzz words she picked out of the conversation as she continued to quietly eavesdrop. Much to her surprise, her older brother was already playing the aforementioned game, thus she borrowed his laptop to try it out. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and it was much more fun than she expected. In this virtual world, she could express herself without the chains of expectation; She chose to play as a Samurai purely because of the aesthetic. She often found herself playing late into the night as she became very engrossed in the game, but she kept her interest hidden from everyone except her brother.

Unlike most of the other players, Yuuko was quite accepting, if not happy, that the Catastrophe happened. She was finally free of her family's binding chains of expectation and she was able to visit her guild whenever she felt like it without worrying about time.

Personality:
Matsuko often exudes a cold 'aura', making her seem very unapproachable. Her lack of facial expression isn't very helpful in that regard. However the fastest way to her heart is through her stomach, thus making her quite naive sometimes should someone have the right amount of food... Which is almost never. Should someone come to understand her, she's quite honest and agreeable, if not somewhat cute. Her insatiable appetite can be quite off-putting at times, since she says things like "I'll devour you" during a fight.

Equipment:

Moonlight Carver

'To carve the light of the moon is to hunger for gentle beams that radiate from it. The Oni of the mountains long sought out ways to harvest the moon's light. Sought out ways to consume it's blessings. Yet it was their greed that consumed them. Fighting over the cursed blade that brought their own downfall. It has become a blade that is excited by both the moonlight and the blood of Oni.'

The Moonlight Carver is a Katana that looks slightly similar to a Carving knife and is often distinguished by it's crescent moon imprint on the scabbard and the small crescent moon shaped trinket that hangs from the pommel. This weapon is a rare drop acquired from a x1 rank Raid as a reward for defeating the 'Oni of the Moon Mountain'. It is a Phantasmal grade weapon.

This Katana is seen as more of an aesthetic weapon by Hardcore Raid parties, however it does have a few bonus stats specifically for the <Food Fighter> subclass. Aside from it's extra fanciful particle effects, the Carver increases a <Food Fighter>'s Defense stats by 25% and gives them a passive Health Regeneration buff, healing 2% of their HP every 5 seconds when under the influence of the moon's light. These buffs are halved in the daylight.

Dou of the Nameless Ronin

'It is said that this armor came from a Famous Ronin, however he remained nameless for all of his years among the living. His wish to be forgotten was never granted. It is also said that his soul lives on within the armor he desired to rid himself of.'

A completion reward from a quest line: "The Nameless Legend". Grants a damage bonus to <Kaeshi>, increasing it's counter-attack damage by 20%. This is in reference to the Kendo technique, Men-Kaeshi-Dou.

Keikogi of the Crimson Tides

'The tides run red with the fuel of war. Life's blood lapping the shores in the aftermath. Drenching the sands as it does on the cloth of the Keikogi.'

This Gi and Hakama set was a reward from the Cross-Region event, 'Pirates Vs Samurai', where Samurai fought against their cross-region counterparts. The Western counterpart of this set being the 'Captain's Garb of the Crimson Tides'. This set grants life-steal and increased health to it's wearer. Healing them for 2% of the damage they deal and increasing their max health by 5%.

Earring of The Silver Spoon

'Crafted by ShrimpBoss'

An earring that hangs from Matsuko's right ear, crafted by The Silver Spoon guild leader. This earring is a symbol that represents the guild as well as giving her a buff to food effects. Increasing stats gained from food by 10%.

Kote of Vengeance

'Those who inflict pain upon others will feel the wrath of those inflicted upon.'

A pair of enchanted gauntlets that passively return damage back to the attacker. Returning 15% of damage done.

Iaijutsu for Samurai in Elder Tale is ironically more of an engaging attack rather than a killing move. From the sheath comes a deadly bladed attack that deals more damage if the target has not received any damage. Damage dealt is equal to 1.5x weapon damage while increasing enmity. This skill has a 0.5 second cast time if the Samurai's blade is already drawn and will deal 1x weapon damage.}

Unbreakable Will allows the user to survive a lethal attack. Their health will not reach 0 for the skill's duration of 10 seconds.}

Other:
- Matsuko plays as a Vengeance-type Samurai, mostly using counters and blocks.
- Matsuko is the same height as Yuuko, around 5'6". However Yuuko had long black hair, while Matsuko has blonde hair.

"The Great Gourmand" was a title that Matsuko earned from a special quest that she received after consuming 200 items of food within 2 minutes, which required a lot of spamming and animation cancelling. This quest required her to look (And consume) at different foods within the game before answering a quiz on the food's lore and ingredients. This quest was a 'one chance' only, meaning if the player failed to answer one part of the quiz, they would not be able to acquire the title and the quest would disappear.

Effects:
This title allows Matsuko to eat anything and discern the ingredients or materials that make up the item. It also makes her immune to poison. She is able to consume food items during combat to gain regeneration effects and any additional buffs the item may provide.

Mount:
Chubby Chocobo

Chocobo

Matsuko's mount is a fat, yellow chocobo that, interestingly, moves 1.5x faster than a regular horse. It can fly for a short duration at a time. This is purely due to it's gluttonous nature, much like it's owner. The rider must dangle a piece of food in front of it's face for the duration of the journey or else it won't move. This mount was rewarded as first prize in an Eating contest held by her guild, The Silver Spoon. The fat chocobo is an event exclusive item from a collaboration between Elder Tale and Final Fantasy.

Lumi

Name: Oshiro Akemi
Username: "Marquess" Lumi
Age: 18
Race: Ritian <Race of Ritual>
Class: Level 88 Enchanter
Subclass: Level 90 Noble

Guild:
N/A (She was actually kicked out of her guild.)

Bio:
As a child, Akemi was quite an energetic, happy girl. She would often play 'house' with the other children and would often become 'head' of the house due to her naturally bossy nature. Her parents merely saw this as a Leader-like personality trait that would lead her to great things. Fortunately enough, this kind of behavior led her to become somewhat of an idol among her peers. During most of her school like she was always part of the Student Council body and would take charge of most events such as the Cultural Festivals and the like. Her haughty attitude slowly grew over time as she was allowed to keep constant control over others, which people dismissed as a kind of cute quirk. Her silver tongue often kept protesters at bay. A true leader. Or so you would think. Her methods had earned her the ire of her seniors, thus causing many conflicts between her and them. As a result she and her seniors were suspended for 'misconduct'. Problems solved like a true leader. Accuse them of sexual assault.

During her days of suspension, which stretched into her holidays, she discovered Elder Tale as she browsed through random forums. As she had done with many other things from her school life, she studied the game intensely out of boredom due to her ironic dislike of the outdoors. Akemi engaged in 'mild' roleplaying and often played as a more intensely haughty person. She found it interestingly fun that the people in this game actually went along with her character.

After the Catastrophe, something clicked in Akemi's mind. While she remembered her days in the real world, she was so shaken that her personality intensified to point where she became like her character. A self proclaimed Goddess.

Personality:
With a name like "Akemi" with both kanji spelling out "Bright" and "Beautiful", you'd probably be able to expect what kind of person Lumi would be. And you'd be mostly correct in assuming that she's a very haughty person. To the point where describing her as a 'Himedere' or 'Kamidere' would actually be a simple way to describe her outer facade. She likes and tries to stand out from the crowd and is always telling people what to do as a true Goddess should, often coming off as extremely annoying to most. Despite her seemingly brash and rash nature, she's quite knowledgeable of the Elder Tale universe. Understanding that teamwork is important, but she won't hesitate to tell you that 'it was all her'. Many liken her personality to one of a Chuuni sufferer.

Equipment:

White Staff of the Bright Wizard

'Like the shining light of the sun, the Bright Wizards made their mark in history as the greatest Mages of their era. It is said that their magic was likened to the cascading god rays that penetrated the dark clouds. Graceful, pure and bright.'

This is a phantasmal-grade weapon that was a reward for slaying the raid boss of the "Last Chamber of Light" dungeon. This staff seems simple in design, a white wooden haft with a clear glass crystal on the end of it, the wood seemingly wrapping around the bottom of it. This crystal refracts any light that penetrates it, however instead of a rainbow-like effect, the light is softly radiated like a miniature sun, except not as bright.

Hat of the Genteel Mage

"To become the greatest of Mages, one must know of style. A feather says nothing without the cap of the genteel."
'It is said that the Genteel Mage was one of extreme vanity. So much so his vanity has influenced the threads of his own clothing.'

The hat is part of the Genteel Mage set, which has different bonuses based on which Mage Class the player has chosen.

Enchanter bonus: Thorn Bind now binds targets.
Set bonus (3/3):
-Decreased Hate gain
-Increased Mana Regeneration
-Increased Magical Attack

Cloak of the Genteel Mage

"To become the greatest of Mages, one must know of grace. A magnificent cape for a magnificent person!"

Set bonus (3/3):
-Decreased Hate gain

Pants of the Genteel Mage

"To become the greatest of Mages, one must know of passion. An alluring pair of pants for the most alluring of them all!"
'It came to a point where the Genteel Mage couldn't really be named 'Genteel', but his exaggerated nature was far too evident to take it away from him.'

The cloak is part of the Genteel Mage set, which has different bonuses based on which Mage Class the player has chosen.

Enchanter bonus: Thorn Bind now binds targets.
Set bonus (3/3):
-Decreased Hate gain
-Increased Mana Regeneration

Signet ring of the Luminous Marquee

"May you go down in history as the most benevolent Noble of the realm."

This signet ring is a reward for completing a "Noble-like Behavior" quest. The signet depicts are sun with a capital L in the middle. It can be used to imprint wax seals. This ring gives a bonus to resistance against Crowd Control. It can only be worn by Lumi.

Using the magical power of a tattoo that symbolizes Absolute Power, strengthening the power of her spells to match that of a Sorcerer and reducing her spell cooldown time. This is a trump card that cannot be used often.

Other:
-Lumi uses a combination of <Sprinkler> and <Evil Eye> builds.
-Lumi is a short form of the English word "Luminous" (I wonder why she'd use the word..)
-Her tattoo is reminiscent of a rippling circle (A circle within a circle) which is located on her right temple, connecting to her hairline via a slightly disjointed line.

Mount: Crane Gryphon

A reward from the arduous quest-line, "He Who is Truly Noble." This was a limited time Raid for the Noble subclass. While the raid itself isn't difficult, it was a mixture of 'Noble Conduct' and combat. Thus, fighting was to be done is a noble manner. How that was interpreted was seemingly subjective and the details behind the system weren't truly discovered.

SweetElfAutumn

"Don't be predictable and don't be prey."

Name: Demi Matsumoto

Username: SweetElfAutumn (Autumn for short)

22 years of age

She is an Elf

Class: Assassin LV 90

Subclass: Tracker LV 90

Guild: Used to be part of Floral Gambit, a guild based on hunting and oddly selling flowers alongside those drops. It was a fun guild to say the least.

Bio

Family, a concept that demi understands greater then most due to concepts such as heritage and knowing her place is to being credit to the family name. Safe to say her parents weren't the nicest most apt at their job, they made her work tirelessly as soon as she could, and upon her 18th they made sure she landed her job working in finances in order to earn money for the family. The family made her pay money, it was a simple token of love they said. Safe to say she never really saw that, though her father did get a nice new two seat car. Though it caused her great frustration, she simply couldn't go against her family. Maybe it was because of what they where or maybe it was due to the sense of loyalty she was instilled to have towards them but she feared telling them anything at all in fear of getting hit or worse.

Regardless. It was after she managed to get a job and her own although cheap housing. She was able to play Elder Tale with a decent network connection (that seemed to shut down every time she cleared a raid). Considering that she played whenever she had free time. Time spent immersing herself in the online world in order to ignore the problems of her day to day life. It was safe to say that the catastrophe was initial was traumatising but then she realised. She was finally free of responsibility and free to continue playing the game she loved that she had granted her sanctuary from the world.

Personality

Autumn/Demi can be seen as an individual whom is calm and composed, She listens attentively to what people have to say and offers support in anyway she can with any issues they appear to be suffering with. Perhaps the easiest way to describe her is laid back, she takes no issue with peoples comments about her or about who asks her to join them. She just non-vocally gives them her best support. Usually falling silent at the communications part mostly because talking kinda breaks the whole stealth thing.

At least that what she tries to make sure people see. She actually is quite the emotional individual whom takes out any frustrations she has on her opponents, perhaps that is why her combat style is brutally efficient, putting high emphasis on hit and run tactics, she is never usually within range to be countered. While this causes great frustration for her enemies and people she fights against call her cowardly for running away. She knows she can't risk taking a hit and as such never usually puts her self in the position to be hit by a melee user. She simple shoots, conceals, moves and then repeats, though if she does get hit she seems to act a little weird.

Going more into her emotional side, she finds it hard to get somethings across without feeling like anything she does resulting in either hand waving due to her parentage or simple devaluing of her sense of self. So she doesn't try to show any emotions. Simply venting it by any means other then talking about it but she never vents it in front of others as that never goes well... at least when it was in front of her family.

Equipment

Eternus Nacht

A bow dropped from, <Nyx, Weaver of Shadows>, Its main body is Polished Obsidian while the bowline appears to shimmer on observation. It is a bow that like the boss it dropped from represents the eerie calm that darkness can bring and how it can swiftly hide anything in its embrace. Some say you can still hear the eerie whispers of the fallen Nyx in the shadows, waiting to eventually reclaim her lost bow.

Ingame wise, The bow serves as the perfect complimentary piece to a stealth or hate reduction strategy because while the user is out of the vision of an enemy or another player they begin to enter a <Living Shadow> State, Where they are effectively reconcealed, Movement is possible in this state, however it will still produce noise if possible. Secondly Attacking breaks concealment instantly, consuming the <Living Shadow> while also granting a 50% bonus to the inital hit, The secondary effect is what makes the weapon really shine as an engagement tool as well as a hit and run item.

Eulogy of Emptiness

A quiver filled with arrows embodying the nature of absence, notably the absence of sound or at least the deafening off. It is a drop from the stone sentinels guarding the access to the temple of the night goddess, Some say that these arrows seem to give off an almost unnatural eldritch chill because even if gripped it feels your holding nothing at all, though you are quite obviously gripping tightly upon the shaft of the arrow. Safe to say it takes getting used to after the catastrophe to actually hold the things without getting shivers.

Ingame effects:
The arrows when fired actually are much quieter on both flying and impact, not completely silent mind you but the effect is noticably different which is a nice touch. However the main effect of the arrows is that on hit they apply a 4 second silence effect, which is good for a assassin in order to quietly take down enemies as it renders them unable to cry out for help.

Blade of Misericorde

A side arm that Autumn has equipped purely for the execute that it gives that quick way to end a confrontation with a coup de' grace, fitting the assassination role perfectly. It is a production class item that she had received as a gift from the guild master for her having gone on a long kill streak without an issue. If used as a dagger, its essentially a production class Dagger.

Ingame effect:
Active: Executes a target with health equal to 15% or below.
- Looks pretty

Cloak of Blood Rites

A comfortable cloak with a spooky name that for some reason never gets caught on anything. It is commonly worn by bandit shamans in order to empower them in their rituals through the secrecy the cloak gives, It is said to start clean when ownership is passed, only to become stained as the wearer kills more and more for either a noble or ignoble cause. Most people wear this otherwise useless cloak for the one benefit it gives.

Ingame effects:
Status effects do not show up on the targets model, instead htey still show up underneath the healthbar of the target although that would necessitate that they look at their status's consistantly, This type of ability is mainly useful against squads of enemies as other enemies will be unable to detect if another enemy has been debuffed through sight alone.

Anklets of the Wild Hunt

A phantasmal class item that can only be equipped if the user has an armour rating of 0, It is a rare drop from Cernunnos, Leader of the Hunt. It offers a few powerful benefits in order to make up for the large stat of vulnerability it places the wielder in. This is likely a way of the god rewarding those the devote themselves to him, and to the very nature of the hunt, hiding not behind plate or shield. Instead hunting like a true predator.

Ingame effects
Each time the owner hits an enemy they gain one stack of <Hunters Oath>, These stacks have no cap, they cause damage to increase against a single target, if the target is changed then the stacks quickly drop back to zero and must be rebuilt anew. When the target is killed, it consumes all stacks and produces a <Successful Hunt> buff for the user. This buff is short lived but it causes mana and health regeneration to be increased greatly for a short time. It also has the odd side effect of increasing the drop chances of enemies by a little bit as if a token of affection by the god of the hunt.

The second effect is that while the user is concealed they have increased mana regeneration along with a <Hunters Blessing> which causes their first attack that breaks concealment to instantly generate 10 stacks of <Hunters Oath>

Bracelets of Vigour

These bracelets are a relatively common drop from <The Thief, Orazo> whom utilises a bow as efficiently as any close combat weapon, these bracelets let the holder reenact that type of ability by essentially guaranteeing a critical hit if an arrow is fired within a almost point blank proximity, to give the range a quantifiable amount, it is about a swords swing away from the target. These bracelets effectively allow Autumn to assassinate a target as well with her as with any knife.

Ingame effect:
Grants 100% critical chance at close range as well as a small boost in attack speed.

Spells/Skills list

Canon

Assassinate

Assassin's key and last-resort skill, it is the strongest instantaneous damage ability among weapon-based attacking classes. Deals large damage to an enemy's body; furthermore, enemies usually are killed instantly if their levels are at least ten levels lower than the Assassin's. Since the strength of this skill increases with higher ranks, the Assassin can potentially outclass the firepower of others. If the attack lands, a white glow appears on screen surrounding the enemy, showing their silhouette falling if it is instant death. The ranged version of this resembles a lightning strike by numerous arrows.

Paralysing Blow

Attack by using a blade or arrow coated with paralysis poison. In addition to the increased damage during the duration of the effect, there is also a chance to paralyze the enemy, stopping the movements of the enemy. The weapon takes on a pale yellow glow when in use and when the attack hits it adds an effect like a running electric current.

Poison Fog

Skill that produces a poisonous green fog that deals damage in an area around the designated location. An unusual attack skill where you can designate location, it shows its true might in tight corridors and the like, but one must take care of the timing since it damages both enemies and allies. Skill rank affects the duration, power and range of area affected by the poison fog.
For solo ranged Assassins, a tactic is to lure enemies to a location where Poison Fog has been set up in advance, and by using hit-and-run tactics, they make the enemy pass through it many times. This strategy, called "kiting," requires a wide space to use so it is usually used outdoors.

Silent Sniper

A Skill that silently marks an enemy without notifying them. By marking an enemy as the target, hit rate, critical rate, and damage towards them is increased for the duration of the effect. While it is a powerful supplementary skill that can change the outcome of a fight, it cannot be performed while moving and evasion rate is reduced. As a result, care must be taken when positioning. When in use, there is a target like the scope of a rifle locked onto the target.

Spark shot

Covers arrows in bluish-white electric shocks and fires them. The electric shocks split when it hits the target, giving minor damage to surrounding enemies. It is useful for cleaning up enemies that are grouped up together, however if you shoot without thinking, the enemies will rush in together as a group, so cooperation with a vanguard is needed

Rapid Shot

Continuous rapid-fire shooting. A skill with many practical uses: for example, it can deal large damage by concentrating on one target, or can attack multiple targets by scattering the shots. Generic skill for ranged Assassins.

Combos extremely well with the arrows for suppression fire

Atrophy Break

An attack with arrow or throwing knife aimed at the opponent's nerves. If it hits the target, the enemy is paralyzed for a few seconds, and the target's movement speed is reduced afterwards. The paralysis duration is short compared to other skills, but the movement speed reduction effect suits ranged Assassins that repeatedly "shoot and run".

Dark vision

Grants its user the ability to see, even without light source, a range determined by your level. However, it does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise -- invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still illusions.

Shake off

Throws something at the ground, creating a smoke screen to completely block the enemies line of sight for a short time. No matter how much hate was accumulated before that, the line of sight is obstructed during the duration of the effect, so by using it with movement skills right after, it is possible to use skills that raises damage with special attacks. This is a very powerful skill, so it comes with a 12 hour cooldown, it is necessary to think about what to do after using it before actually using it.

Peek a boo

Although hiding movements are a characteristic belonging to offensive jobs in particular it is possible for all 3 job types to do it with support abilities, when hidden by this skill it is more difficult for the enemy to detect you, also rate of Hate decrease is faster while hidden. There are many skills where the power of the skill is strengthened when the enemy doesn't notice you like Stealth Blade, so a style where you sneak up with Peek-a-boo to land a blow with a stealth reinforced skill was created. A shadow effect is applied to the character while hiding, and the motion changes to one of a lowered creeping posture as well.

TLDR: Another way to enter concealment basically.

Non-Canon

Arrow Storm

A large AOE attack that involves firing a few arrows that quickly duplicate into a large hailstorm, because this skill does not deviate from friend or foe, it becomes only useful as an inital engage attack or as a last resort.

Scatter Shot

This skill involves the firing of a single arrow that embeds itself in an enemy before detonating into a shrapnel explosion dealing several dozen hits of low damage in an AOE. It is common used to gather a lot of hate in order to perform a kiting tactic.

Blazing Shot

A fire element arrow attack, that infuses the arrow with the element of fire before it is shot, It produces on hit burn damage over time. Dealing more damage against enemies used to cold climates, as well as enemies with more armour (cooking them on the inside)

Shattering Shot

A powerful armour shattering attack that inflicts an armour break status on the target. This is commonly used as before a follow up attack or if the hide is too tough to crack with the other skill alone.

Archer Mastery

This passive removes any movement restrictions when wielding the bow effectively decreasing the time to draw and undraw the bow, as well as reducing any movement slow from moving with the drawn bow. It also increases the accuracy of taking a shot while moving, while still not as high as a still shot, the difference is still very much noticeable.

Quickdraw

This a single active skill facilitates the Assassin completely removing any move lag and transitioning back into basic attacks. It helps to make the archers skills flow more cleanly while also comboing well with the ranged archers other passive ability. It has a 10 minute cooldown

Subclass

Tracker Conceal

Grants another way to enter a concealed state, thus reducing hate and enemy vision, making you near invisible to the enemy in their line of sight.

Chemashe

CS: Adventurer

Appearance

Name: Chemashe “Mash” Cherub (surname pronouced Cher’ rhub)

Username: ‘Meren the Shieldmaiden’

Age: 19

Race: Human

Class and Level: Cleric 90

Subclass and Level: Blacksmith 90

Guild: N/A

Bio: Chemashe is a shy kind-hearted individual in real life, while her persona seemed to exude confidence, beneath the surface of the facade is a 19 year old girl whom had a bunch of strange hobbies, few friends and even fewer reasons to want fame. She was terrified of the spotlight but if there is one thing this girl likes more then anything it is the act of creation. Creating things just fills her up with a massive sense of satisfaction. Perhaps this is why she devoted herself to her blacksmithing and the supportive role of a cleric. It might be the deep seated issue she has of wanting to be in the shadows yet still perform the vital roles to make a well oiled machine.

Of course this isn’t exactly going to be the case when you for one, are one of the best blacksmiths in the game due to your efficiency with lower mineral numbers yet still producing high quality goods. So she has some notoriety among players. This only served to grow when she crafted her shield for herself. She received quite a few bids from guardians to have such a shield… but… This was her magnum opus and nobody else was going to have it. She was going to be doing the protecting.

Suffice to say even after the catastrophe she tries to keep to herself and just continue being the supportive player she has always been. Smithing having gotten more fun now that she herself was working the forge with her own hands. Her life was now so much more interesting. So much more people to help. She hoped at least they would want her help… Though that didn’t matter she still had to deal with the change in body mass...


Personality: Chemashe can be seen as a shy individual. She keeps her emotions to herself and generally just does her best to help from the shadows when it comes to teamwork. However due to her role as a frontline cleric she can't exactly do both. So on the battlefield she adopts a more stern yet somehow motherly persona, wanting the best for all those at the front of the battlefield because if the wall falls then the DPS, the supports and everyone else will fall. So she will make sure the wall never falls. Sacrificing herself to make sure that occurs.

When someone has earned her trust she is much more approachable even bordering optimistic and smart. She works diligently even in the sidelines to make sure everyone has their best possible shot. Perhaps this is a reference to her real life self, where she is always second fiddle but always happy with that. At least she tries her damn hardest.

Equipment

Shield of the War Maiden

Shield of the War Maiden: This is a shield that she crafted through using her limited resources of phantasmal level drops from numerous raids. It is a sign of her humbleness from it being made from the scraps people left behind and yet also her craftsmanship, The high class of crafting is what granted her the title of shield bearer. Each part of the shields design gives a story of a raid due to the large variety of material used for the shield and her already high class craftsmanship gear. The shield is of a flawless quality such that even among phantasmal shields the defense it offers is immense. The shield also has another quality as the result of the material used. Its sheen acts almost as a repellent to magical influence causing magical projectiles to be reflected although they have a weaker amount of force then they did prior to reflection.

The shape of the shield also lets it become useful as an offensive weapon when combined with a cleric's shield skills which is lucky as it's sheer size causes it to take two hands to wield. The edges function similar to rather blunt axes, allowing it to decapitate heads with enough force in an unlikely case. It is effectively the equivalent of a giant blunt weapon with edges. It's her shield though and she wouldn't have it any other way.

-In game effects-
Gives the wielder exceptionally increased defence when using the shield and blocking with the front of it. This shield is very much good at the defensive aspect considering it guards the entire body when used correctly, its size also means that hitting with cleric shield skills is easier.
Magical projectiles are reflected at 25% of their original force, of course some attacks go past the shields defense or are just creation of solid constructs which are then thrown. In this case the shield will only function as a shield and no reflection shall occur.
Has a moderate attack value equal to a low tier production class sword.
Decreases Average Movement speed by 40%

Maiden of War set

This entire plate armour set is a production set that she produced using leftover high quality materials and phantasmal scraps along with a few other things she could find. It is essentially an example of her versatility with the forge as she used very few resources to get her intended result showing its efficiency. Though as a side result of this, Some of the armours potential armour rating had to be sacrificed due to lack of materials (it was originally intended to be full body armour) though it has since to prove slightly useful at offsetting her speed reduction by giving her a bit more freedom of movement.

She wears a purple undersuit that has no stats in order to prevent the metal from wearing against her skin. This is because it makes the costume much more comfortable to wear while also preventing it from being too revealing. She discovered after the apocalypse that it was a separate garmet to the armour and thus she can leave it on while taking armour pieces off.


Set Effect- 5 piece set
Wearing the full set gives the user an additional 50% defense when equipping only shields as a weapon option..
Grants 30% resistance to status effects
Grants access to the set effect, Blessing of the Shield Maiden.

Blessing of the Shield Maiden

Allows healing to grant up to 33 percent of a targets maximum hp, This overheal like barrier decays over time, at the rate of 0.5% every second. Shields cannot be applied until it has completely decayed.

Maiden of War - Battle Dress
This dress is purely metal and looks rather ornate with its engravings, It provides good defense to the lower body, the holes being located only on the front side because that side is protected by the shield usually so the sacrifice could be conceivably made in terms of defence in the front.

Ingame effects-
Grants a high amount of defense due to being plate armour.
Grants the healing spells that the user uses, 10% additional potency, so that they will heal an additional 10% of what they used to heal.
Grants 5% damage mitigation.



Maiden of War - Chestplate
This chest plate is neatly carved and engraved. Unlike the metal dress portion, she made no exceptions or cuts to the metal used in order to create it, thus producing a shapely well crafted suit of armour to be worn that can protect the wearer effectively. Its durability appears to extend to the rest of the armour creating a strong fortification that will continue to protect the user as long as their faith in the light never fails them.

Ingame effects-
Grants a high amount of defence due to being plate armour
Grants the wearer an additional 10% defence
Grants immunity to defence reduction effects.

Maiden of War - Gauntlets
These gauntlets while mostly looking like silk gloves that extend from the the lower forearm to the hand. Actually feature metal on them that serves as a way to protect the arms from attacks. This was another part of the armour she had to make sacrifices on resulting in it being the least defensive part of her armour but it still works as intended granting her arms some protection.

Ingame effects-
Grants a moderate amount of defence due to being a plate/cloth mix
Grants a 20% resistance to elemental effects


Maiden of War - Greaves
These greaves have multiple hinges to allow the legs to bend and function like normal preventing Meren from becoming even more encumbered then she would normally would be from wielding her shield. The clothe beneath them comes with the greaves and functions as a way to protect the skin from bare metal contact.

Ingame effects-
Grants a high amount of defence due to being plate armour
Grants the wearer 10% movement speed
Maiden of War - Heels

These heels are a marvel of blacksmithing. Usually they would be a terrible idea for a tank to use, however she managed to make them well enough that they give enough support that they function similar to hiking boots and evne more so. She just thanks the world that this was a fantasy game otherwise her feet would really hurt…

Ingame effects-
Grants a high amount of defence due to being plate armour
Makes the wielder immune to flinching effects as they ‘stand their ground firmly without fear’ They also help stabilise the shield making Meren lose less ground upon the enemy dealing blows to her shield.
Grants 3% additional resistance to status effects

Blacksmith set (for those casual days and resting moments)

This is the set she wears for blacksmithing due to the bonuses that it gives and the fact that its much nicer and more comfortable to wear for longer periods than her war maiden armour. Which while comfy can become a little bit stiff after a day's work while also not being suitable enough for a forge due to the fact that the metal can heat up...

Attire of the Pink Smith: In actually this is just cloth armor that she renamed and and started to wear, It grants barely any defensive values and as such is purely aesthetic save for the fact that when it is used to craft gear, it increases their potential quality by 20%

Wyrmscale Apron: This blacksmithing apron is made out of what the name suggests. Wyrmscale it is made by the tanning of wyrmscale. It effectively protects the wearer against burn effects and increases production quality by 25%

Blacksmith’s Seven tools: ‘A crucial tool for forging items, an essential tool for all blacksmiths. It can be equipped at any level, and can be customized to suit the Adventurer's needs.’ Meren prefers to use it as a more intricate kit. Though it still contains the bread and butter of blacksmithing, it also contains skin of a sand reptile and more for giving that professional finish to a job well done.

Black rimmed Spectacles- These glasses serve to improve the eyesight of the wearer and provide a relaxation to the mental mindset of the user. They allow the user to see the intricate and fine details of a metal and thus use their tools more accurately. While Chamashe had to wear glasses outside of the game. The Catastrophe fixed her eyesight. Now she wears them for the +5% smithing quality increase and the fact that they feel nice on her face.

Spells/Skills list:

Healing/Status spells

<Heal>
A moderate healing spell, it can be used on anybody. It heals them for about 10% of the casters maximum hp. The caster can even cast it on themselves. Meren/Chamashe uses this skill to top up her allies health on the front line regularly casting it with her other shield skills. 30 second cooldown

<Faiths Blessing>
A healing spell that heals the target for the total maximum health of the caster when they cast it. This makes this an extremely strong single target heal spell. Like most of her skills Meren/Chamashe cannot target herself with this effect. 4 hour cooldown.

<Atonement>
Removes all debuffs from target player, she cannot target herself with this ability, it is purely useful for supporting allies that have become inflicted with debuffs. 1 minute cool-down.

<Purify>
Removes one debuff from target player, one of her two healing skills that can target herself. Has a cooldown of 15 seconds.

<Sanctuary>
Requires the cleric to be stationary as they channel this spell (lucky for Chemashe/Meren she can hide behind her shield in order to stay protected.) It creates large defensive barrier spreading out and behind the cleric effectively protecting the party from attacks by increasing their defense by 60%. It also turns the cleric into a huge target. One fully cast the sanctuary will remain for up to 4 minutes.

Has a cooldown of 24 hours.

<Hymn to Heaven>
An AOE heal, It heals all allied player within its radius for 50 percent of the clerics maximun HP, This skill might be seen as a reason for the rise of health orientated *Bulk* clerics as it increases the effectiveness of this skill.

<Fortify Spirit>
An AOE Dispel, It removes all negative Affliction (which in some cases includes buff from allies within a the medium sized radius, It is also commonly called the party pooper skill as it has been known to remove the side effects of being drunk, thus causing almost instant sobriety, Has a 4 hour CD.

<Shield of Faith>
An applied AOE buff that applies a single stack of <Shielded by Faith>, it affects all allied players and the caster (another one of merens few skills that can target herself) within the radius. It increases the defence (against both physical and magical attacks) of all those affected by 15% for 8 minutes, Has a 20 minute CD. The skill noticeably produces a small halo above the receivers of the buff, as if to fit a holy theme.

<Accusation> - The Cleric marks out a single target and all total damage is increased against that target but their armor value does not change (Courtest of Clocku) 60 second CD. Only one mark from this ability in specific can be activated at any time, recasting on a different enemy removes it from the first one it was cast upon.
(this debuff is called Accused)

<Saints Trial>
Multi targeting accusation like effect. against up to 20 enemies, prioritising the ones with the highest health, This skill has a large radius. 8 hour CD. These marks unlike that of Accusation are timed however, and all marks will expire upon either the death of the cleric or after 30 minutes of being applied.
<The Debuff stack is called Guilty>

<Purge>
Removes all buffs from the targeted player. 20 second CD. This skill can be used offensively in order to counteract a heavily buffed monstrosity, however it is otherwise useless on allies, more situated to tread on other support's toes if they become an adversary

<War Prayer>
Applies one stack of War Rites to all allies weapons whom were in the radius of the inital cast, for 10 minutes, War Rites function as a way to give weapons a holy element effect, good against demons or undead, Commonly used en masse during the preparation part of a raid in order to better fight a boss. While the Holy effect is helpful, it isn't as strong as a sword already having an imbued holy element, however it does increase the DPS significantly if everyone in a raid has become buffed by this effect, against the aforementioned opponents.

<Exodus>
A movement speed buff that increases the speed of allies in correlation to their missing health, granting 0.5% increased movement speed for every percent of health missing, a way to escape from fights. It's commonly used for that same purpose, though it can be useful to grant assassins and swashbucklers an edge in a fight.

<Passive 1: Saint of War>
Another high level Cleric Ability.

Whenever an the owner or a ally takes damage below 50% HP gain one <Retribution> Stack, Upon 7 Retribution stacks, a powerful heal spell is automatically cast at the last ally hit, bringing them back up to 50% of their maximum HP threshold, while also granting them a 50% Attack bonus for 10 seconds. This skill has a 180 second CD

<Passive 2: Lord's Faithful>
A high level Cleric skill that serves as a way to offer further sustain in the front lines and allow them to cycle through their abilitys without being too mana dependent. It effectively restores 5% of the health that they 'healed' as MP, effectively cheapening the cost greatly, if used effectively.

Shield Skills

<Shield Smash>
"Simply beat someone up with your equipped Shield. The damage dealt is not very high, but it has many effects such as disrupting troublesome attacks or the casting of magic spells, and daunting enemies." - Guess who's description

<Shield Charge>
A skill that involves charging headfirst into the enemy, it is effectively a much more faster to execute shield smash and can also be used as a defensive measure to quickly get in front of allies to offer relief. It lets the wielder travel up to 6 meters at rather rapid speeds even with speed reduction.

<Shield Swing>
'Shield Swing: Wielding a Shield, rush into an enemy and deal a heavy blow to an opponent. This skill consumes slightly more MP, but has a wider range of effect; if correctly positioned, the user can hit multiple enemies. The damage output of this skill depends on the Shield's Defence stat.' - Guess Who's Description.

<Passive: Disciple of the Bladeless Path>
Lose 50% ATK when using bladed weapons
Gain 50% Defence when using Shields.

Utility skills

<Bug light>
Produces a floating light source capable of illuminating the surroundings. Lasts 10 minutes, 12 minute cooldown.

<Light Tracing>
Places an orb of light on the target enabling you to track their location on the way back. Good for marking enemies or allies to know where they are. Up to three can be present at any time. 10 second CD

<Revitalise>
A target ally has the CD of one of their skills completely refreshed, this skill cannot target the user and thus is mainly used to facilate a second cast of a nuke or key abilty for the party to function and it has a 24 CD regardless of the CD of the skill refreshed. (This skill's CD cannot be sped up in anyway.)

Overskill (not activate)

<Saints War Oath>
A great powerful support spell that can cover a maximum of 24 Target allies, It is a rallying cry that acts not as a salvation of the party, but as a representation of its will to carry on.

Grants, One stack of <Saint's Order>, A stack grants Regeneration that heals 2 percent of the individuals health ever second for 50 seconds
It grants a mana regeneration buff that restores 1% mana ever sec over 50 seconds
Grants a 5 percent damage buff for a duration of 50 seconds
Grants a 5 percent Damage Mitagation over 50 seconds.

Magical Engineering

Allows the creation of items and objects not original present in elder tale. Meren would primarily use this for equipment once she discovers just how to make this work, So instead of making objects outside of Elder tale persay, she would produce equipment that previously didn't exist, but had the potential to exist.

Guild: N/A

Bio: Sonia Gaumont was born in France under a French father, whom she takes most after, and Japanese mother who owned a large and successful company and who worked as the overall manager of the Japanese branch respectively. However, as neither married the other this naturally led to whose name she would inherit and who would take custody over her. In the end, both parents decided that Sonia would inherit her father's name and arranged how long she would be under the custody of each parent. As such, Sonia almost never stayed at any single school until she reached her 1st year in high school, where she finally settled in Japan under her mother's supervision by her own choice, seeing her father during the summer. The friends that she made soon after told her about Elder Tale, and so Sonia decided to give it a try.

What started as curiosity turned into admiration, then an addiction that lasted for two years and some expansion pack releases. In Elder Tale, Sonia did not have to say she was the daughter of a multi-million company at the least. Furthermore, she could interact with players that would not judge her based on her wealth. The challenge in Elder Tale kept Sonia going, though she mostly stuck with solo play. There were a couple of guilds who she was friendly with: a minor guild called Brewer Town who convinced her to try the brewer subclass and Holy Sword, another minor guild that Sonia ran into several times and hangs out with a few of their members. Unfortunately, Sonia had to put behind Elder Tale for a while because of her mother urging her to do something productive with the company. After finally getting some free time from her work as more or less as a desk jockey for the company headquarters in Japan, Sonia heard of the new expansion pack, Homesteading the Noosphere, and was eager to try it out. She was of course logged in during the time of the Apocalypse.

Personality: Sonia Gaumont tends to be happy-go-lucky to the point of being overbearing. She is an optimist who is not used to the rigors of the real world thanks to her inherited wealth and having most of her needs taken care of by others. Still, this does not mean she is a recluse, as Sonia has at least a few friends and admirers outside.

Never having any money problems did not mean she was not careful with her money. She was taught an extensive amount about business management and basic finance though Sonia never did like anything serious such as these lessons. In addition, any job that she did have to do was always a desk job, nothing that required physical labor due to her familial status. Despite this, Sonia always likes a challenge.

Galahad | Guardian

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬



▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Basic Infomation:

Kusanagi Yuuta
"Duke Galahad, the Questing Knight"
Human, age 23
Level 90 Guardian
Level 88 Noble

History

Ever since he was young, Yuuta had been enthralled by Arthurian tales and stories he would read from his local library. The boy found something so heroic and so noble about the fantastical knights that it would leave a lasting impression on him. Unconsciously, he attempted to emulate the actions and manners of what he perceived to be a true knight, virtuous, noble, heroic and brave.

Unsurprisingly, Yuuta’s love of knights translated well into games where he would always be seen wearing some type of heavy armor with a shield in one hand and a lance or sword in the other. The digital knight found pleasure in role playing in games like the heroes he’d still read and research in his free time, and Elder Tales was no exception. Taking a knightly name for himself, “Galahad” spent a great deal of time playing the game and eventually gained a reputation for the completion of so many quests including the trivial side and radiant quests. Such actions thus earned him the unofficial nickname “the Questing Knight”. Much of his equipment and abilities are actually quest rewards of some form or another.

Diving deep into role playing, Elder Tale allowed him to really become the knights he had read about and adore, even picking a questionably useful subclass of “Noble” to help with it and rose to the rank of “Duke”. In due time, Yuuta joined a guild of fellow knights called “Fate Grand Order”. Although Yuuta rose through the ranks and gained a reputation as a chivalric fighter, the Order was torn apart by internal strife and members leaving for real life reasons until all that was left of the guild was Yuuta who, as he often did, made the ending like that of a story. Taking the sword that once represented the guild, he stuck it into a stone in a forest clearing with a text below stating “To whom draws the blade, doth whom become legend.” To this day, Yuuta has no idea if the sword is still there or has since been taken.

When the Catastrophe came, it hit Yuuta with a mix of excitement but mostly shock, now realizing he would never be able to live out the life he wished. Needless to say, he went a little crazy and just wandered around in a haze like so many in the opening days before he fell off a bridge and into a river. He didn’t even make an attempt to swim back up but as he did, he hear a voice whisper in his ear and as he await respawning, he saw the figure of a woman who called for him to drink from her chalice. Something within him told Yuuta immediately that this woman as the “Lady of the Lake” he had read about in so many quests and text even if he couldn’t explain the feeling or realization. It's said that at that point he kneeled before her and swore a knightly oath to her to which he drank deeply from the holy waters of the chalice. When Yuuta awoken, he had now fully taken on the mantle of his digital persona; where Yuuta had drowned in the lake, Galahad arose in his place, invigorated with the strength and blessing that seems to go far beyond the simple buff he had in game.

Personality

Yuuta as a person is a fairly level headed guy sometimes to the point of apathy. This side comes out the most when facing down danger as his permanent status affects make him unable to feel fear which is strange even to him. He still strives to live up to some form of the knight vows and virtues with some leeway on some areas but what sets him out the most is his devotion to a divine patron. Everyday he offers prayers to the Lady he speaks of and dedicates his victories in her name. While this has certainly marked him out as an eccentric individual by most, Yuuta takes pleasure in knowing he has someone watching out for him in this new world.

Equipment

Frozen Auric Armor of Lost Knights

Amongst the Lander’s nobility, there is a popular tale of a group of knights who once tried to find the kidnapped heir of a lost kingdom. However, the knights were unsuccessful and had tragedy after mishap happen to them until they began to drop one by one in the clearing of a frozen forest, their souls trapped within their armors.

Those who have recovered their armor from the <Frozen Knights of Grimhilr> questline receive it as an completion reward. It stalwart defense also provides a constant aura of ice damage to enemies but ironically it has a weakness against ice-based attacks.

Blessed Astral Warsword

Normally a two handed sword, Galahad’s strength and gauntlets allows him to wield this massive magnificent blade. Forged under starlight using meteoric ores, the blade gives a natural boost to attacks and is imbued with a buff that gives bonus damage to the undead and ethereal enemies.

After completing the quest <Maiden of the Silver Sky>, Galahad picked the reward which blessed his holy blade, making it even stronger against undead and etheral units as well as having a perpetual glow around it.

Venerable Dragonslayer Lance

Killing a dragon is no easy task and only those who use the proper equipment stand a chance to survive the encounter. Galahad uses this lance exclusively on horseback where he can get the most out of its charge bonus. Comes with natural armor piercing damage and deals extra damage to dragon-class enemies. The Venerable prefix means it can slowly repair itself if given time.

Ancient Ironwood Shield

In an age long past once lived a mighty warrior who the rival mages of his mage-king, wielding a shield of deceptively durable ancient ironwood that protected him from magic as he hunted down witches and wizards in the name of his liege. However, his loyalty was to be his undoing as himself was killed by the mage-king he so dutifully serve as the mage-king became paranoid with power.

A kite shield made of thick Ancient Ironwood that is stronger than steel but as light as wood. Its faded glory still shows in the dulled silver outline and the faded dragon crest on it and is a testament to the artisan who crafted the shield. Although its physical resistance is weaker than similar shields of its class, it can negate nearly any magical attack and even attacks made by enchanted weapons.

Old Ironclad Vambrace

One day, Old Ironclad Knights arose from the depths of Castle Karlgoth and silent assumed positions amongst the castle guard. No one knew where they came from but their stoic defense of castle time and time again proved them invaluable warriors until a wizard banished them all back from whence they came.

Obtainable by exploring the Ruins of Castle Karlgoth, these gauntlets are so strong that they give a buff to parrying and countering enemy attacks. Indeed, some have even forsaken a shield in favor of just using these armor plates to deflect attacks.

Martyr's Halo

Floating just above Galahad’s head, this piece of headgear reduces all critical damage and works especially well against head shots. It has a secondary effect of providing all allies in a radius the <Martyr Sacrifice> buff when Galahad is slain in combat. Also good at providing light.

Last Banner of Eden

An item Galahad acquired ages ago but as kept. When the banner is planted down in the ground, it forms a protective ring that heals anyone inside of it as well as providing a small defense boost. A popular strategy is to use this in narrow places along side with hate skills to effectively block off a hallway in a dungeon

Barded Demigryph Mount

Although incapable of flight like true gryphons, Demigryphs are still terrifying and loyal mounts on the ground in their own right. For unlike horses, they do not fear combat and their sharp talons and beaks are more than capable of fighting just as well if not better than their riders. There are many tales of demigryphs ripping apart their rider’s killers after they had been killed.

Skills/Abilities

Non Canon Skills

<Clarion Call>

The Clarion Call is sounded and knights flock to it. Every person hears a different instrument - some hear chimes, others bells, others a horn and even those who hear the songs of the gods themselves - but those who hear will instantly know what it is. The caster is given a speed buff to heed the call and rush to battle.

<Grail Blessing>

The Lady protects those who serve her dutifully. This passive ability gives a buff to health, health and stamina regeneration and strength to those who have completed a long and difficult quest line and have drank from her Grail at the climax. Holy light radiates from within the person, making them generate more hate towards undead and demonic foes who swarm to him like moths but Galahad is more than ready to face them. There is little doubt that this powerful passive is one of the reasons why Louen is considered to be one of the strongest fighters in the area and also how he is able to use a greatsword in one hand.

<Virtue of Heroism>

Another passive which grants Galahad the fearlessness required to charge down any foe. It completely denies the Fear status effect and reduces the effect of other mental statuses. However, it seems to have made Galahad actually fearlessly brave to the point of jackassery.

<Soul Flare>

By lighting one's soul aflame, one will attract all manners of things to it; even monsters. This ability effectively “steals” the Hate from allies and puts it all one a single person (usually the caster). It is characterized by the blinding light that appears when activating the spell.

<The Noble Last>

Also known as the Suicide Knight spell, this spell rapidly drains the life of the one who casted it and generates so much hate that even raid bosses will focus down the person and any damage is exponentially multiplied against the caster.. In return however, it grants the user dramatically increased attack power to the point they can hew through multiple enemies at once. A true last stand ability.

Overskill (Not yet Discovered)

<Call to Arms>

Using the Noble subclass as a base and with his reputation, victories and roars of valor, Galahad can cause Landers to gain XP at the same level as Adventurers and gain a sudden increase of weapon proficient allowing even farmers to become soldiers. This is undoubtedly a powerful skill if not an abnormal Overskill as it doesn't directly focus on Galahad.

Character Theme

Tachyon| Necromancer

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬



▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Basic Infomation:

Hitotatchi Shiroe
Tachyon
Human, age 25
Level 90 Summoner
Level 90 Necromancer

Face Claim

History

If there was a need for inspiration for the world's greatest tragedy, Shiroe's former life would have been it. Born to an apathetic mother and a drunkard father who would beat Shiroe when they weren't shouting at each other, it would seem that life was determined to fuck Shiroe up. Few if any friends, failing grades, no physical achievements, no talents, no money, to say that Shiroe had been dealt the worst hand possible in the game of life would be an understatement.

Despite this, Shiroe didn't let it break him. While many would presume that a child like him would fall into depression and commit suicide or become a recluse with angst and edge in their shadow, Shiroe was a never ending fountain of positive vibes with an upbeat personality. There have been more than a few people who have concluded that Shiroe must have some mental illness which causes all of this, but he has none to speak of besides a mild case of dyslexia and a rather poor memory. The boy knew his misfortune and bad luck, he knew all his shortcomings and failures but he accepted it and made it his mission to be the foundation and pillar of a building instead of the shiny exterior or the crowning monument in front. He worked his ass off trying to make money and get into good schools with mixed results, but none of his teachers could ever really hate him for his poor grades and attendance.

On more than one occasion Shiroe would however escape into a digital world behind a locked door and finally be able to interact with people. Elder Tale provided the perfect world for the youth to ignore everything else and just forget about the world outside for a few hours. He picked the Summoner class and went down the Necromancer line after reading up about it online. Shiroe would never tell anyone about it, but one of the reasons he picked summoner was so that he would never have to travel alone and with necromancy he would never have to worry about his companions dying on him. Such a love of this one game carried through with him all the way to college.

When the Catastrophe hit, Shiroe had felt the same shock as everyone else but there was also a silver lining of relief. He was free from his previous life, safe from the yelling and the fighting.

Personality

In defiance of the traditional stereotypes of what a Necromancer is, Shiroe is far less villainous and far more outgoing and chill than what many would think of when they think of necromancers. Its as if his very soul is so great that nothing could tarnish the easy-going and relaxed nature he gives off. Almost nothing fazes him, no insult, no slander, no lie can really affect him. Even someone stabbing him would only cause Shiroe to question the stabber with an almost disappointment tone. Full of optimism, Shiroe accepts whatever misfortunes comes to him with a smile and seeing as he is still quite unlucky to this day, he smiles a lot. He's a bit odd and eccentric, but his motives are rarely ever foggy due to a good moral compass

He’s an honest, hard-working and down to earth type of individual with a reputation built off being one of the few necromancers who isn’t paralyzed by fear at his own summons and creations. The word “white necromancer” could almost be applied to Shiroe as he tends to act selflessly and seeings then positively unlike the generic, angsty emo necromancer. While many see necromancy as the diving into of dark magics and death, Shiroe sees it as a celebration of life saying "In order to understand death, you have to first understand life".

Equipment

Terrorgheist Mount

Of the many predators which live in the deep dark caverns of mountains, none are more unsettling than the giant bats that have grown massive who hunt horses, pegasi and humans and often clash with gryphons for aerial domination. While monstrous in life, those who have been resurrected by the ways of necromancers become nightmares incarnate. The rotted flesh and calcified bones are held together with dark magic and ride upon decaying leathery wings. By giving up a portion of his own blood, necromancers can bind the horrific undead beasts to their will and grant them necromantic regeneration abilities. What was once a sonic echo in life has become a stunning eldritch blast that can paralyze its prey before it swoops down to tear it apart in its hunger for flesh and blood. Decorated with skulls and other dark insignias, it comes as little wonder that those who see it are immediately filled with dread and fear based status effects. Even back when everything what just a game, there were players who stayed well far away from the beast citing it as one of the most horrifying looking creatures in game.

Abyssal Celeste, the Crystal Tomb Staff of Souls

Its often thought that the purest souls form crystals when given physical shape and have great magical capabilities. Thus items crafted out of these “Crystal Souls” are prized amongst magic users. Looted from the <Tomb of Pride’s End> raid, the Abyssal Celeste has a long handle carved from a Black Ashen Elder Oak, the ribcage, spine and skull of a defiled Pure White Stag with its original antlers and of course, a large scythe-like blade made up of pure Crystal Souls, corrupted by dark magic.

The scythe-staff is considered to be an item with a soft restriction to necromancer play styles as although anyone can use a scythe-staff, it only gives buff to necromancy. The Abyssal Celeste dramatically reduces cooldowns for undead summons although the bonus get exponentially smaller with higher level summons. Unlike most staffs, scythe-staves can be used in melee with a reasonable amount of success. The Crystal Soul blade on the Abyssal Celeste deals little physical damage but an extraordinary amount of magical damage and has been known to instantly kill even mid-level Ethereal enemies.

Life Tribute Ritual Dagger

A rare dagger carved of stone with various runes engraved upon it. Although it is weak normally, it can instantly kill paralyzed enemies if they’re under 25% HP. Doing so will give the user a dramatic boost in health, stamina and mana as well as provide them with a “Life Tribute” buff. If used on an Adevnturer, the user gains XP equal to a thousand times the victim’s level.

Castle Cainhurst Choir Robes

Cleverly disguised, the Choir of Castle Cainhurst was actually a coven of witches and warlocks organized under a disgruntled duke against his liege. Their rituals would often pose some danger to themselves and thus they wove spider silk and steel fibers into their magical robes to protect themselves. While harmless at first, the Choir slowly delved deeper and deeper into forbidden tombs and depravity before being finally consumed by their own work.

Providing greater protection than normal robes, the robes of castle Cainhurst gives magical protection due to the enchanted fabric that it is made of and buffs various dark spells like <Black Orchestra>.

Blackiron Chains of Volnyr

When the Mad King Volnyr was finally cut limb from limb, his remains were shackled in enchanted chains of black iron. But so corrupt was his very soul that he inturned twisted the once holy wards on his own chains from beyond the grave.

They slow stamina regeneration as if shackling the user to the world but grant an immunity to dark-based magic and reduce cooldowns on summon buffing spells.

Death Masque of Kings

Rulers have always had the most grandiose burials but right of birth and it should be little surprise that the remains of long dead kings are tempting targets for necromancers. However, when they fail to be able to call such a person back into the material world, they often settle for using their remains to craft items.

Carved from the front plate of a skull, the Death Mask of Kings confines leadership bonuses to undead summons, giving buffs to them. It also buffs the skill <My Will Be Done> and can cause fear effects with its deathly gaze. Amadeus only wears this in serious raid battles as he feels like its appearance is unsuited for daily, casual wear.

Vial of Black Beast Blood

The mysterious unholy ichor of a terrifying eldritch being from the darkest depths of the cosmos. How it ended up in this world is all but a shockingly unknown and likely dark mystery. An Artifact-class item obtained at the end of the dungeon <Tomb of Bleeding Stars>, the Vial of Black Beast Blood is a highly controversial item even pre-Catastrophe as it was used to summon a mini-boss level summon called <The One Reborn> by dumping it on a pile of bodies and resurrecting it. Even though the summon constantly looses health and is also on a timer, it was lamented as an OP item and thus rarely used even in PVE. Like many who have it, Amadeus keeps the fact he has one a closely guarded secret.

Codex Chaotica: Liber Nercomonica

One of the books produced by the Arch Heretic Zandgre about forbidden dark arts for his collection of codices. Those who opposed him managed to spread and entomb his blasphemous works away from prying eyes but there are those who have found them still. The Liber Nercomonica had been given to the Grave Guards of Mortalor but even their Order couldn’t stop it from being unleashed once again.

Gives access to several high-level spells and incantations prized by necromancers.

Bell of Lost Souls

This trinket of a small bell produces a single, etheral, edritch tone which calls to the realms beyond and summons lost souls to its users. Doing so will dramatically increase the user’s mana pool and mana regeneration. Amadeus has also found that shaking the bell hard enough is a pretty good way over getting the attention of players and monsters alike as its ghostly echoes enters right into the minds of those who hear it. It is unknown if doing this actually causes any Hate or not however.

Spells

Non-Canon

Long Arm of the Dead - Summons a large skeleton arm which mimics the actions taken by the caster’s own hands. Pre-Catastrophe it was regarded as a mostly useless skill but since then it had gained more popularity due to the fact you can more easily control it and manipulate the fingers allowing for more uses. In addition it can be used to block attacks and quickly counter due to its surprising fluidity.

Blood Tithe - A simple buff which allows the user's summon's weapons to apply stacks of Bleeding damage.

Soul of Humanity - Exposing the Dark Soul of Man, a dark black hole appears on the caster's chest, outlined with a flickering fire. While in this state the user takes more damage but every attack they or their summon lands they regain mana.

Lullaby for Mergo - This unsettling melody of otherworldly origins once composed for a stillborn god, is played from seemingly everywhere at once and increases the defenses undead summons. While it confers no real status effects, the fact that all the zombies and skeletons will sing along to this undead tune has scared many adventures post-Catastrophe.

Early Grave - Skeleton hands rise up from under the target, clawing and grabbing on their legs and slowly dealing damage to them. This will root them in place for a short while and continue to slow them afterwards

Midnight Howl - A bloodcurdling howl is unleashed by the Necromancer which is then followed by similar howls by his summoned minions. It has different stages of affect on people depending on their stats and their status effects but will universally apply at least one stack of Fear. On some targets it might even force them to be paralysed with fear.

Rigor Mortis - A passive effect where every strike from the player's summons will cause the enemy to be hit with a status debuff reducing their move and attack speed. If enough stacks of Rigor Mortis are applied, their stamina will also regenerate far slower as well.

Invocation of Undeath - Essentially a healing spell for the undead summons however it cannot be used to heal other players. In fact, it will actually harm them as the spell will try to infuse their beings with dark magic despite them not needing it.

Serve Once More - A more powerful version of the basic Resurrection spell. It creates a stronger binding on the summon giving them better stats and the Necromancer better control over it. In addition, the resurrected monster can be resurrected once more unlike the basic spell which cannot achieve this.

Carrion Call - A buff that can only be used on mounted undead or high level summons which increased both speed and damage. This spell is sometimes referred as the "overkill" buff given how it can only be used on higher level summons.

Summons

Zombie - Basic undead with low combat skills but great durability. Their weapons are randomized every time they spawn but they’ll rarely get better than broken blades and rusted armor. In most cases they don’t even have armor and just use farming tools.

Skeletons - Undead with slightly more skill and memories of their past making them slightly more competent warriors. Their bones rattle with every movement and their march in perfect, ominous synchronization. They can use swords and spears with shields

Crypt Horror - Not technically undead but instead more of a large, mutated ghoul that feasts on carrion and corpses. A dreaded beastly version of corrupted humans fallen to cannibalism, their love of corpses and lack of hygiene means they have some of the toughest natural poison attacks of all summonables and have a limited amount of regeneration.

Dire Wolf Pack - Loyal unto death, these arcane constructs of flesh and bones viciously hunt down their prey and are summoned in small packs. Their speed makes them ideal of scouting ahead or chasing running prey.

Carn Stalker - Ghost apparitions that haunt cry[ts and mausoleums, these ethereal beings were once the result of summoning souls without giving them a proper vessel but since then necromancers have figured out how to summon them regularly. They are prized for their ability to completely ignore armor with their phantom scythes.

Fallen Grave Guards - There comes a delicious irony when a necromancer slays and resurrects a grave warden who once watched over the sleeping dead. These fallen guards make for excellent fighters and bulwarks as even in death they have the natural instinct to protect the death, even if they walked next to them.

Laughing Jack - The elusive serial killer who was never caught alive with his body found in little bloody chunks. Those who summon him are greeted with the service of a man who has lost all of his humanity and dances in a whirling storm of blades that few can dream of dodging.

Liche Priest - The priest of a lost empire, obsessed with death and funeral rites return to the living world once again to cast their magics upon those who deny them slumber. They are essentially undead mages who know mage skills who can buff up other summons.

Black Knightmare - The knights and horsemasters of a forgotten age who rise from the cursed ground to trample their foes into it. The Black Knightmares forgo any loyalty or duty they had in life and serve as heavy cavalry for the necromancer who summons them and can appear with dual swords, sword and shield or lance. They give off a constant aura of dread due to their special Nightmare mounts that exude energy..

Lynch Guard - A strange summon, Lynch Guards are those humans who willingly became undead to boost their combat prowess and possess free will and great intellect for an undead. Even stranger is that they willingly serve necromancers of their own violation. They are often considered the highest level of summoned infantry as they retain all the knowledge they had in their past making them exceptionally terrifying warriors.

Wight King - The paramount summon for necromancers and a highly sought after and powerful summon. They were once great kings and champions in life and now fearless killing machines in death. Even though a single person can only summon a single one, they are death dealers in death despite their seemingly hard cap.

Overskills

My Will Be Done - No longer bound by the rules of the game, all necromancers can summon and command massive numbers of undead soldiers as they wish based upon their level and skills.

Overlord - Encasing himself in a shell of crystal and bone, Amadeus can get a top-down RTS styled view of the battlefield and more efficiently control his summons and summon more of them at once in squads.

Arthur Cunningham/Aries

CS: Adventurer

Appearance: He is 6ft 2, and just around the average weight for his height.

What he looks like

Name: Arthur Cunningham

Username: Aries "The Triumphant Reaper" (He does not maintain the nickname on the Japanese server.)

Age: 18

Race: Human

Class and Level:Assassin Level 90

Subclass and Level: Level 90 Gladiator

Guild: N/A

Bio: Arthur, as his name suggests, is not native to Japan despite playing Elder Tale on the Japanese server. His story begins in the nation of Great Britain, being born in the countryside being a brother to 8 sisters. Being the third oldest in the household, he found his life to be a constant case of having to protect his younger siblings, and having to constantly pander to his two older siblings, which made him find himself in a limbo of sorts, where he could never truly find the companionship he desired from his family, or never find somebody that he could associate with and look up to, somebody in the same situation as him.

Having reached the young age of 9, his family had moved to the nearby city of York in the name of work, which is where Arthur first began to go to a public school. Although he was smart, his social inexperience made him find himself unable to find anybody to speak to, and as a result, he was mistakenly taken for somebody who was antisocial when in fact, he was just shy and lacking in ability in conversation. This lead to a bad development for Arthur, who mistakenly saw his own lack of popularity as something that stemmed from his own superiority which led him to him possessing a large ego.

In his secondary school was where Arthur luckily found his friends due to the fresh start that he received, and this is where he first encountered Elder Tale. Firstly dismissing it as a waste of time and a 'trashy rpg', his friends pestered him to try it and despite his initial criticisms, he became hooked on the gameplay and the escape from reality it provided, as he could never truly fit in with those around him, and instead, he could be whoever he wanted within this virtual world of his. It was a nice escape from life and the stress that his studies were placing on him.

Due to his enjoyment of the game, he found new motivation for life and found himself trying exceptionally hard in his studies, leading to him graduating his secondary school with extremely good grades, allowing him to get into the college he desired. He saw it as bizzare, as games were usually things that prevented you from achieving what you wanted, and as things used for procrasination, but as he found himself using the experience as something to drive him, and aspiring to be like the character he created, he found himself improving his social skills and his circle of friends.

Arthur had gotten so into the game that he had gained notoriety as one of the servers best pvpers, even earning the nickname as the "Triumphant Reaper" due to his extremely high w/l ratio and his usage of a scythe, something that was rare amongst players of the assassin class, as they tended to opt for stealthier, smaller weapons.

A short time before the novasphere pioneers, Arthur had chose to go to university in Japan due to an international scholarship that he'd received. Having taken the language, he was somewhat fluent yet he found himself struggling to speak in advanced terms, so he ended up coming to Japan in order to find himself gaining a stronger grasp of the language. Unluckily for him however, the apocalypse occurred sometime after he had transferred his account to the Japanese server, leaving Arthur stranded in a new world without many friends or anyone he knew. He found himself up to the challenge however, he had always desired a new start in life.

Personality:

Arthur is an extremely unique individual in a number of regards. The most notable trait about Arthur is his massive ego and superiority complex. He believes himself to be better than the majority of people at whatever he does, and only acknowledges those who are able to prove that they are better than him in that field. However, this complex is not always evident, as he doesn't often state his actual beliefs in this regard unless provoked on the matter. This lead him to have a reputation in PvP as somebody who was exceptionally humble even though the opposite was the case.

Arthur has changed significantly since encountering the world of Elder Tale as well. Whilst he used to be introverted for the most part, he finds himself being a strong social figure and constantly trying to find jokes and happiness in everything that happened to him. This was extremely prominent in his raiding parties, and although he wasn't part of a guild, he found himself being continuously invited to numerous large raids due to the reputation he had gathered as somebody who made the mood of boss fights that much better.

Despite his ego, Arthur himself is somebody who is incredibly analytical and intelligent. This showed in his studies and school grades, and continues to show through elder tale. When he isn't angry, he finds himself with exceptional decision making ability in social and combat scenarios.

Arthur is not all fun and smiles however. He has severe flaws, namely in narcissism and extremely bad anger issues. One thing that he was not able to overcome in the changes that he made with himself was his extremely bad temper, and he finds this coming out at the worst of times. Whilst he is able to suppress it when around significant company, he finds himself blinded by rage when something greatly upsets him, and this leads him to do things that are completely uncharacteristic of him, or of the Arthur that most people are familiar with. Whether this rage will carry on through the game and lead him to do something he will greatly regret is uncertain.

Equipment:

Telvaryne's Gravekeeper Scythe Blade

The great graveyards and mausoleums of the city of Mortalor have always been juicy targets for necromancers to raise undead legions to fight for them. As such, the grave-keepers of Mortalor are trained and renowned for the use of their signature weapon, the Mortalor Scythe Blade. And amongst them, Telvayrne was the greatest Grave-master of their Order of Black knights. Although a silver curved blade at first glace, those trained in it can whip its handle and blade out to full length. Its silvered edge shines like the moon and deals additional damage to magic users and the undead, much to the shame of the Grave-keepers of Mortalor.

Has a 6% chance to interrupt a spell/ability cast. Does 25% additional damage to magic users and the undead.

Phantasmal Tier Item. Was obtained by Arthur in a server wide pvp tournament in which the winner was to obtain a phantasmal weapon of their class. As Arthur was able to undertake a clutch victory, he was rewarded with the scythe and it has been his companion ever since.

Reapers Hand-wraps

These production class hand-wraps were specifically designed for scythe users, and as a result, give a 15% bonus to damage dealt by scythes. Arthur sees them as efficient and uses them without much chagrin despite their mere production class level.

Boots of the Prince of Bel Alihar

"Prince Jorhad Alakmed was a traveller of many lands and teller of many tales. The footwear of the eccentric "Fresh Prince of Bal Alihar" gives a bonus to both movement speed and jump boost to those who wear it although its colourful design makes it stand out like a sore thumb in many situations"
20% bonus to jump height and movement speed. Artifact Class.

Cloak of the Champion

An artifact class item only given to those who were able to complete 100 consecutive arena victories. It doesn't give any bonuses, it just looks really cool.

Undead Shadowwalker Armour

Created under the reign of the mad King Volnyr, the Shadow-walkers were made to be the extension of his very will and the embodiment of his iron grip on his subjects. Whenever there had been a rebellion, the King always sent his Shadow walkers in first due to their unshakeable loyalty to him. Even when their king turned to necromancy to extend his terrible life, they too followed him into the ritual chambers to become cursed with undeath. With nothing else left to loose, they continued to serve their crazed king with devotion and zeal never before seen in the kingdom. But in the end, it was their loyalty and oath of duty that became their undoing as a champion of a rival mage-king whose name has been long forgotten slew them all, their magical undead attacks unable to pierce his ironwood shield and the champion slew their king.

The armour is extremely popular amongst assassins and classes which use light armor extensively as not only does i provide good protection without sacrificing mobility, but it also nullifies any psychological status effects from undead-type enemies. Although slightly rotted it remains a comfortable choice for assassins especially as it provides great boost to their stealth skills and is infamous amongst PVP guilds for allows killers to hide in shadows without any notice from their targets.

[The Irish Tree]

Chiaki Uehara

Appearance:

Name: Chiaki Uehara

Username: U2ehara

Age: 18

Race: Foxtail

Class and Level: Bard Level 83

Subclass and Level: Diva Level 90

Guild: Currently unaffiliated.

Bio: Normal and vanilla were the flavors of Chiaki's life for the longest time. Born to a pretty traditional Japanese family, her parents worked late and she was basically a latch key child all the way through to high school. It was almost depressing how boring her life was with the standard affair of friends that shared no interests, only a classroom and teachers that had no passion, only a paycheck and a time slot. She wasn't a poor student nor was she a great one...just...average.

At the end of her first year of high school though, some sort of rebellious streak hit her where she just stopped giving a shit what anybody thought of her. Staying out late and ditching were pretty standard fair for her at that point, and soon whatever sort of friends she had drifted away. Not that it mattered much to her, as in her free time getting away from the normalcy of everyday life, she took up a new pastime of learning to play guitar from a homeless man. And no, she doesn't even remember why she started or took interest in it. It was just...a fleeting desire she followed to some degree of actually loving it. The lessons she got from an old washed up musician that probably blew it all on hookers and booze were a lot more important to her than the ones given by an old stiff with a stick up his ass.

Of course, wanting to grow up to be a rock star was probably the most naive sounding dream for anyone to hear. Spending her money on a guitar was a little secret she kept as she resumed her lessons, eventually turning to online games to try and deal with her complete lack of a social life beyond getting mocked. Eventually however, she came across Elder Tale and pretty much instantly created a bard in a more rebellious image of herself. Save for the hair and obvious fox ears, she pretty much tried to create her ideal self in the game and experimented with the surprisingly in depth music creation system to become a rock star in a fantasy world online. While laughable, it did actually help her improve bit by bit, what with the VR implementation that had become standard fare for most home computers capable of playing games.

Nobody expected the Apocalypse, but Chiaki was almost glad for it. Now, the exciting fantasy world were she was talented and actually kind of known to people that seemed to share interests was reality...and until the much crueler real world would return, she'd be living it up as a Bardic Rock Star.

Personality: Boisterous and just kind of a live wire, Chiaki could best be described as one of the most annoyingly lively people you'd ever meet. Whether it be her trying to convince you to invite her to a raid, or just party up with her to grind, she's annoyingly persistent to the point of borderline insanity. Unless she knows that it will definitely never happen, Chiaki is not one to try and give up at doing anything. She also seems almost infallibly joyful when with others, which makes it a bit weird that she hasn't stuck with any guild for long.

However, she's still prone to states other than jubilance. Mostly because of how often her dreams have been spat on by her peers, Chiaki is actually pretty lacking in self esteem and falters a lot if someone close to her degrades her, often turning to self depreciation to explain it. She's quick to get over it though...or just bottle it up for the sake of appearances. Even if someone depresses her to be around though, she isn't the type to abandon anyone for any reason, and that could be a reason for why she's so persistent with others.

Equipment:

The King

The King is The King, and as such it is considered by Chiaki to be her most precious piece of equipment. A LITERALLY electric guitar with an axe blade attached to the body of it constructed by Meren. Her favorite instrument in all of Elder Tale, which while not the strongest of guitars, has the damn nicest sound she's ever heard from one. Proud of the craftsmanship however, she's not fond of using it to hit shit unless she absolutely has to. Even if it can be repaired easily enough,
Bonus Effect: +25% Effectiveness and Duration of Offensive Buff Skills and Musical Attack Spells, +100% Final Strike Damage, -50% Equipment Degredation on Final Strike, 10% Armor Penetration on Melee Attack, 3% Chance to Silence for 2 seconds, 100% chance of Silence for 5 seconds after successfully landing Final Strike.

Thundercaller's Raiments

A vibrant armor set that Chiaki spent quite a bit of gold to get for the benefits (And visual flair) it provides. While being light armor, the benefit of its passives that work incredibly well for a bard. Especially a Concertmaster.
Bonus Effect: 10% increase to the range and duration of Buff Songs and Debuff Songs, -5% Mana cost on skills that constantly drain Mana.

Cozy Muffler

A soft and warm muffler that Chiaki has grown accustomed to, and wears just about anywhere. While not exactly a rare piece of gear, it was part of a christmas event quest that also gave a pair of mittens and a santa outfit. Having taken a liking to it, she just kinda wears it wherever she goes.
Bonus Effect: +10% Ice Damage Resistance, +25% chance to ignore Freeze Status effect.

Spells/Skills list:

Bard Attack Skills

Maestro Echo: For approximately 30 seconds, copy a designated ally's magic attack on the same target. Since equipment bonuses and character stats are not copied over, your attack will be weaker, but will still deal around 150%-180% damage, especially if you copy a Sorcerer. When used, this skill creates a guitar-riff-like sound effect and a shining appearance. The attack will be a beat behind the original.

Resonance Beat: Imbues a weapon with a melody that causes a shock wave upon impact and resonates with the target's body. If another attack lands during the resonance period, additional damage will be dealt with a resonance explosion. You have to attack twice for it to work, so the damage dealt is quite high.

Elegant Act: An elegant attack from a beautiful dance. The damage dealt is normal, but this skill boosts Evasion for a period of time after usage, so it's popular with front-line Bards since it improves their survivability. It is notable for the elaborate movements that vary depending on the weapon.

Battle Conduct: The damage is hardly any different from a normal attack, but gives the target a ! icon and puts them in the condition where "No matter how much it is hit, there will be no increase in hate". The icon appearance is short, around 5-15 seconds. When used, an attention-drawing whistle will be sounded.

Dissonance Scream: By causing a jarring dissonance in a circular radius around yourself, inflicting upon enemies within that area a small amount of damage and the Confusion status. When timed well, it can also cancel out spell incantations, so it is often used around Mage-type enemies. An effect of cracked notes flying about appears, and there is a shrieking sound effect.

Final Strike: Hurl your weapon and deal a large amount of damage. Damage depends on the remaining durability and attack power of the weapon, and even a normally-powerless player can be strong. However, the weapon's durability will become 0, and the weapon will be useless until repaired. The cool down time is long.

Bard Debuff Skills

Dirge of the Trapped Lion: An attack curse song that traps enemies in a certain area and continuously deals damage. Although the damage dealt, like most curse songs, is insignificant, the damage builds up as you continue singing and the effect of an instant death is very powerful. The impact of an opponent who was fighting vigorously suddenly collapsing and dying has a very strong effect, and has given this skill the name of “Dying Song” and “Death Voices,” inspiring fear. When this skill is being used, a mark of a lion appears over the target’s head and a stinging chain wraps around them.

Bard Support Skills

Meditation Nocturne: Allies' MP, which is usually not restored during battle, recovers slowly. Although the rate is slower than when resting, its ability in the long run cannot be underestimated. In use, a cool-colored note (purple/blue) appears from the ally's bodies.

Fawn March: When activated, the skill increases the caster's allies' movement speed and support skills.

Rainbow Arabesque: Grants your allies an attribute such as fire or ice. This way, you can compound on an enemy's weak point. There are six attributes in total (if none are selected, it is the seven colors of the rainbow), and you can select it with your mind. A note of the corresponding color appears, and the weapons have a different effect depending on the attribute.

Diva Subclass Skills

Passive: The Diva subclass allows an Adventurer to perform music-based skills in exchange for Weapon-class skills. A Bard with this subclass exchanges attack strength for increased song power. Men can also be divas.

Randomized Skills from being a Foxtail

Lightning Chamber: A single-target, high damage lightning spell. Summons a dazzling array of bluish purple lightning shaped like a pentagram, capturing and dealing damage to enemies inside. This skill is considered to be a top class spell among one's in the Sorcerer's arsenal, and its effect is befitting of its title. On the other hand, this skill has a long reuse time and generates large amounts of Hate, so it is often used when enemy threats have been pinpointed.

Anchor Howl: The user lets out a defiant roar and is surrounded by green light. All enemies within a certain radius are forced to attack the user. If they ignore the call, they will trigger a powerful counterattack. This spell also increases defense of the user for a short duration.

Phantom Step: A movement skill that allows the user to weave in and out of battle. This skill also leaves behind images of the user that can be used to confuse the enemy.

Accel Fang: A blow that nimbly cuts open an enemy while running through them. It does standard damage (a little on the low end), but if the attack lands, there is a temporary increase in attack speed. The acceleration effect stacks whenever Accel Fang hits consecutively (maximum 50%).

Electrical Fuzz A lightning-element attack that deals damage over time, sticking to the enemy and swirling around them. It's nowhere near as powerful as an attack from a Sorcerer or Summoner, so it's usually used in between cooldowns to prepare for a powerful attack. After the Catastrophe, it is often used in dark areas or nighttime battles, since the light it emits and its tracking ability lets you keep track of your enemies.

CS: Adventurer

Appearance:

Name: Lorenzo Argento

Username: Silver "The master butler"

Age: 20

Race: Wolf Fang

Class and Level: Assassin Lvl 80

Subclass and Level: Butler lvl 90

Guild: none

Bio: Lorenzo was born in Spain to loving parents and as he went through the tradition k-12 program he learned he English and likes to play strategy games like chess. Throughout his life he learned to use the intelligence he was born with to his advantage and managed to get into a good college leaving his family behind. The funny thing is that Lorenzo wanted to be a game designer himself and learn to create games like Elder tail which was going to be his major as he explored college. However while he loved the game itself he simply didn't have the time to put his nose to the grindstone and level up as much as he wanted so as a result he isn't very high leveled and he soon stopped playing the game to focus on his studies. Once he had a little breathing room with his studies he went back to playing and wondering what changed the game and afterwards he realized he woke up in the game itself and you can guess from their...

Personality: Lorenzo himself wouldn't be much to look at however he prides himself in acting like a gentleman to women and being a nice person to everyone. Lorenzo was born in Spain and as a result understands Spanish but he learned to understand English in school. While Lorenzo isn't as handsome or strong as his classmates he did always pride himself in his intelligence and how well he could solve problems that presented themselves with enough time which is why he was always a fan of strategy games. Lorenzo always likes to think of himself as an activist and believes in being a rebel however he is not an anarchist for the very reason that he sees the reasoning behind rules that are placed while he wont agree with them and might not follow them he will not storm the castle to change it simply for that reason.
Overall Lorenzo is gentlemanly while is a smart and intelligent person when it comes to a game of strategy. He disobeys authority figures but wont attack the rules they follow simply because he doesn't agree with them.

Spells/Skills list:

• Assassination-assassin exclusive skill-Assassination is a skill all assassins earn early and can upgrade to make it cause massive damage, this attack is best for its burst damage
• call of the wild-general wolffang skill- like all wolffangs silver is able to call upon his wolf spirit to give him a strength boost in combat
• Non Cannon aim for the heart-assassin exclusive skill-like all assassins silver has a burst attack which is known as aim for the heart which if it connects causes a massive amount of damage however since this needs to be aimed at a weak point for the critical hit it will only cause regular damage if the hit connects anywhere else.
• Deadly dance- an exclusive assassin skill only for melee attacks- this attack has the assassin crouch low and unleash the attack on his opponent, while this is low damage for an assassin this ability can stack up to 8 times so its possible to kill using this ability consecutively. When it use it takes on a pale glow and leaves trails in the air, the glow strengthens with each hit. the use of Deadly Dance is extremely hurried, other actions tend to become careless due to the focus.
• Fatal Ambush- Skill that unleashes an ambush. After preparing the weapon and storing energy for a while, it unleashes a powerful slash or shot using the whole body's strength.

Oftentimes, it is used to clean up mobs missed by other party members and to eliminate mobs that surround the boss

[Guess Who]

Femina Bellator

Appearance:


Name: Makoto Watanabe

Username: Femina Bellator

Age: 31

Race: Human

Class and Level: Level 90 Kannagi

Subclass and Level: Level 1 Courtesan

Guild: None

Bio:
When she was a young girl, Makoto's parents divorced, forcing her to switch between households at the end of every week. Wanting to impress their daughter, both parents would often spoil her with whatever she wanted, which was how she would be introduced to the world of gaming. Having such an early background in gaming and a lot of time to spend on them, since her parents would often let her do whatever she wanted, she gained a lot of skill and experience that would help her win several competitions when she was old enough to meet the minimum age requirement.

By the time the cataclysm hit, Makoto had reached semi-fame status, having won most tournaments she entered, and if she didn't win at least placing in the top five. Now she looks for an at least semi-competent group of players to join, because even she knows that soloing an MMO is not a good idea.

Personality:
Makoto is a very capable player, having won many competitions and contests with her skill in gaming, and not restricted to any genre either. However, her long-time winning streak has caused success to go to her head, and while she can certainly back up her claims, there's no doubt that the woman is full of herself. Any party she joins can look forward to her reminders of how great she is at the game every several minutes. Unfortunately for her, when she had been brought into the world of Elder Tale, she had the misfortune of being placed into the body of one of her healer characters. She's glad that, at the very least, she spawned in the body that had already reached the game's previous level cap, but that doesn't change the fact that Makoto has always preferred taking her problems head on and she isn't afraid to let others know of her frustration at her predicament.

Equipment

• Requiem of Faith: A phantasmal-class katana, compared to most Kannagi weapons it does significantly more damage in close range, though its amplification of her spells is slightly reduced.
• Raiment of Swiftness: An artifact-class cloth armor set, it boosts the wearer's speed and chances of evasion, though at the cost of not providing much in the way of protection compared to most level 90 gear.
• Radiant Talisman: An artifact-class jewelry that protects the wearer from all manner of curses, though it does not protect against any other kind of debuffs.

Spells/Skills List

Canon Spells

• Prayer to the Four Quarters: When cast, Prayer to the Four Quarters creates black, white, red, and blue barriers, not unlike Purification Barrier, that forms a rectangular prism. It does not use a lot of MP, is sturdier than other barriers, has a near-instantaneous casting time, and can be used even when skills are prohibited due to an abnormal effect. Nonetheless, its 24-hour cooldown time makes it reserved for emergency situations.
• Protective Barrier: The caster reduces the damage received by an individual ally. It is 4 times stronger than Purification Barrier, but has a longer cool-down time.
• Purification Barrier: When cast, the caster reduces damage received by 5%.
• Healing Prayer: A basic healing spell whose effect is common to all Healer classes. It is much less efficient than other Kannagi spells, and thus is used only when necessary.
• Prayer of Recovery: It allows the caster to heal a small amount of HP to a designated individual. In return for the small amount of healing, it has a very low cooldown and casting time. It is often used in conjunction to the Cleric's Heal skill to speed up healing.
• Prayer for the Soul: Prayer for the Soul is a spell that resurrects an ally who dies in a battle. It has a long casting time, and it uses a lot of MP. As a result, this spell is not practical for use in a battle field. The spell's cooldown time is 300 seconds.
• Notice of Exorcism: This spell clears one debuff from an ally. It has a cooldown time of 20 seconds.
• Bug's Light: This spell produces a source of light in the shape that vaguely resembles a firefly, allowing the caster and allies to see things in the dark. This magic is equivalent to Magic Light of Mage classes.

Non-canon Spells

• Divine Prevention: A target of the caster's choice becomes completely shielded from any possible debuffs that might affect them. However, the spell only lasts for 20 seconds.
• Sacred Land: Creates a designated area in which party members will only suffer 50% of all damage inflicted to them.
• Reflective Barrier: Applies a shield to the target ally that reflects one physical or magical spell back at the attacker.
• Shield of Urgency: A passive ability that automatically applies a barrier to allies that fall below 20% hp. This shield cannot be applied to the same ally more than once within 2 minutes.
• Sacramental Shield: Applies a barrier to a party member that also heals them for as long as its active, however the barrier is much weaker in comparison to Purification Barrier.
• Impeding Barrier: Unlike most barriers cast by kannagis, this one is cast on enemy units. While it does significantly reduce the damage they take, their damage output is reduced just as much. Good against enemies with high dps but low hp.
• Staunch Wall: Creates a large, clear wall that blocks 100% of ranged attacks. Its drawbacks are that it is immobile and it does not differentiate who's attacks it blocks, preventing allies from making attacks just as much as enemies.
• Great Barrier of the Migrating Spirit: A skill that is available to high level kannagi, it creates an area of the map where no harm will come upon the caster's party, while also granting a small healing buff.
