[OOC] The Runes (In Need of Players!)

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest When a Rune user dies, the rune suddenly appears on the new person, and the person abruptly finds themselves with the powers corresponding to that rune. So with Algiz, for instance, it's likely they might suddenly accidentally manifest a shield out of nowhere. c:

[CollectorOfMyst]

@The Jest We also have a similarity in that some of my counterpart from the past's sheet aligns with my own. For example, by coincidence or destiny (...I had an urge to call that coincidestinty...), we both wrote for the location of the rune that it is at the nape of their neck. While I had been reconsidering where I put it... now, it makes me want it to stay there.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Um... also, Echo... your player for the Sowlio rune hasn't been on in twelve days.

[EchoicChamber]

@CollectorOfMyst Don't worry- I'm in contact with the player of Sowlio offsite, and they've informed me that they'll likely be coming on to post quite soon. It's just that they've been generally busy with real life and all that jazz lately. c:

[CollectorOfMyst]

@EchoicChamber Phew. Don't want to be worrying about characters being dropped as soon as I start on mine... but, I've come up with an idea that has my fingers flying over the keyboard, so I may have to leave.

I see, I see...Now onto the the next question, well, a group of three questions regarding the Blessed.

1. Are the Blessed allowed powers of any particular kind?

2. Are there any specific positions still available?

3. Would it be considered an ass-pull if my Blessed character Just so happens to be the Father of my Algiz user?

[EchoicChamber]

@CollectorOfMyst Aight, sounds good.

@The Jest

1. The Blessed don't have powers themselves, but they can use magic by writing runes and such. Basically, the Runes can manifest magic internally and directly use magic without having to think too much about it, but regular humans like the Blessed have to write spells out, and learn about the runic alphabet in order to tap into that sort of external magic. A lot of Blessed rely on either rune-writing, or good old fashioned modern weaponry. c:

2. Specific positions? It depends on what the position is, I feel. I'm likely going to write for the leader of the Blessed (either via NPC or actual character), and some of the Blessed have specific roles like Head of X, so you're free to ask for a position as long as it isn't already taken or at the tippy top or anything.

3. Nah, I don't think so. They would just have to have had no knowledge that your character would suddenly be in possession of Algiz after its current user dies.

@EchoicChamber

I see, I see. Good stuff to know. I have an idea to what my character for that is then, I just need to figure out what position to put him in, something involving combat, defensive or offensive, would be nice.

Going to drop these off before I retire for the evening.

My Hider

Full Name: Dennis Eden

Nicknames/Aliases: N/A

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Rune/Location:
Berkano, on the nape of his neck.

Rune Powers:
Nature Speak – By touching a plant with his bare skin, he will instantly be connected to the ‘wood wide web’, if the plant he touches has enough mushroom mycelia in symbiosis. Using this will make him ‘aware’ of everything in his surrounding area, with more limited communication the further the mycelium spreads. However, it has limited capability – it interrupts all of his own mind’s functions, meaning that it can be difficult to pull away. He also cannot use his other power during this time.
Phytokinesis – Be it rain or shine, dark or light, Dennis can manipulate nearby vegetation, trees, flowers, and even moss. For the most part, it’s his ability to accelerate a plant’s growth that comes in use. He is also able to command them to grow to enormous proportions (…to an extent) and develop vines, tangling roots, and barbed thorns. He can even persuade them to quickly regenerate, as long as the ‘wound’ has not been burned. Not all scars can heal…

Description: Tending to wear things bought cheap or found in charity shops, Dennis is often considered ‘simple’ in what he wears – consisting of a small range of jumpers, jeans and shirts. It’s more out of necessity than desire… okay, it’s completely necessity. But, he doesn’t mind. It’s for Tom, after all.

Personality: Dennis is a tough nut to crack. It isn’t that he’s antisocial or he doesn’t believe in people… he’s just rather closed off person. It comes mostly from his situation as his brother’s only bodily able relative, and their financial difficulties from the same situation.
He’s also been alone for a very long time, and had to grow up far too fast. Caring for an ailing parent and a younger brother tends to do that to you. So he isn’t going to bloom without a little coaxing.
His determination, strong desire to protect, and his reason for joining the Blessed all stem from Tom. And so does his perseverance, strength, and ruthlessness.

Skills:
Photosynthescout – Due to his ability to connect to the plants’ network, as long as these things are in the circuit, he can ‘see’ the surrounding area. It can also be used to identify his, or other people’s blind spots. Though, the aforementioned difficulty of disconnecting from his
Hold Fast Your DETERMINATION (MOTI references anyone?) – As long as he knows he needs to help, and he’s not totally incapacitated, he’ll keep on fighting. While it might be overall harmful to his own body, it may just be the tipping point needed to win.

Weaknesses:
Arid Areas – if there is little or no life nearby, not even the smallest seedlings, it begins to take a toll on Dennis himself. Quickened exhaustion, increased paranoia and shortened temper – separate him from the plants and he’s useless.
Tethered – Dennis’ dedication relies solely on Tom’s well-being. If Tom – or somebody he believes to be Tom – appears to be in danger, he’s not going to think or hesitate. He’s going to help his little brother, no matter what he has to do.
Unexperienced – While he’s good at training, and perhaps even good at controlling his powers, he has put neither to practice.

Still in the draft stage. Will format and expand tomorrow, hopefully. But I'm also splitting my char sheet attention several ways at the moment, one of them being a nation rp ^-^;

[Blueflame]

@EchoicChamberI made the first few changes

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest I think Defensive might be good, as Isa and Sowlio are both primarily offensive. Having someone guarding them would benefit the team. It's up to you when it comes down to it, though, so I'm not gonna force you to go one way or another.

@CollectorOfMyst Looking good so far! It's fine if you need to take some time to finish up- it might be a few posts before Berkano and co. are killed off. c:

@Blueflame Sweet! Lemme go take a look.

[EchoicChamber]

@Blueflame Seems like good progress! Would you mind using the character sheet on the front page of the OOC, though, please? Feel free to edit out the bits about the Runes and replace them with World Eater stuff, haha. Thank you!

[Blueflame]

@EchoicChamber kk pal I will

Brief History: alone and hungry, shaago, three years ago was caught in another packs den stealing food. The other wargs pounced on him, five against one. Scratched bit and bruised he was backed into a corner. A gunshot rang out, blood splattered the floor as one of them dropped. Turning quickly as the rest of the pack was drawn out ready to fight, some in their more human forms some in there wolf. The grounds quickly evolved into combat as shadow was still trapped, seeing the confusion as his chance to take atleast one down with him he lunged towards the closet one biting down at the base of their skull. Breaking their spine killing them instantly. The surrounding ones turned back to him breaking back into a fight. Eventually the fighting closed in on the last few fighting shadow. They were shot and killed. Shadow tuned into his human form saying "please! Don't shoot! Friend " slowly a person wearing a suit showing he was in charge walk up saying. "Give us a reason not to" "ill help you! What ever you need, my life for your needs." the man thought for a moment before speaking "alright,... Tranq it" a pistol shot went off and a dart was in shadows neck. Shadow stumbled and hit the ground. Three years later shadow is still being used for research and still alive in the blessed care as a glorified lab rat.
