[Spriggs27]

@71452K Seems like we got a team of squishes.

[Bishop]

The Mad Jester

"I kill you, you kill me...you can't kill me, YOU'RE DEAD!"

Name
Seska

Race / Age

Still Human? / 27

Personality

Their personality is all over the place. Depending on the time and day they can either be likable and thoughtful or despicable and ruthless, also changing according to what is needed at the moment. Their likes change, their fears change, their posture and the way they carry themselves changes. They are one of the best natural deceivers in the entire world. No magic, no nothing, just pure lies...or truths. Whatever comes out of their mouth sounds as truthful as a 5 year old holding out his hand and claiming his age. You don't doubt them, well if you didn't know them that is. The secret? They believe that everything is a lie and if everything is a lie it is also a truth. They wholeheartedly believe that what they are saying is the truth. You can't fake that sincerity.

Backstory

The child of the head of an influential church in a city, they grew up as worse as they get. If it wasn't for the constant beatings, the experiments were the cherry on top. Their father was certain that he had found the promised elixir, one that allowed one to commune with God. What did he do you might ask? Test it first on their child of course. Weeks and weeks went by, countless syringes injected, the screams being too loud for the child to stay in the house anymore so they transported them to a desolated cabin in the woods. Then the voices came and among those voices one prevailed, telling the child what to do, how to do it. And so the child killed their father.

That's where the child crossed path with the company Virtuous. The head of the church was planning a big revolution, overthrowing the ruling classes of the city and placing himself on top. That was only the first step on his grand plan to remove every noble in every city throughout the entire kingdom. The Virtuous company had sent assassins to deal with the problem before it reached the top of the high slide but all they found was the dead body of the leader and his kid standing there with a knife in hand.

That's where they were recruited and their long journey to falling in deeper madness and depravation began.

Physical Talents
Supernaturally high endurance to injury and pain.
Acrobatics.
Stealth.
Killing.
Mimic.

Magical Talents

Low Tier
Wild Cards: A deck of cards where each card contains another deck of cards where the last deck contains different items. Holding a card, they can shuffle through the other items inside that card, bringing the one they need to the surface and expelling it in order to use it. It can either appear or be cast out with immense force. They can use one of their cards to absorb an item or multiple depending on the item's size. For example, one sword or multiple arrows. It only works on objects.
Mimic: They can perfectly mimic and transform to any living creature that is roughly their size. The visual transformation is the easiest part as you only need to see them once and memorize their appearance to get that part down. Same with the voice. To mimic their behavior, personality, is something else entirely. You need to have a deep understanding of their psychology, behavior patterns and many other factors.
Vanish: They can disappear into thin air, becoming invisible.
Air Walking: They can use air as a walking ground to walk, run, jump, skip, or even lay down on. Doing swimming motions is slower than walking.
Mid Tier
Clone: Seska splits themselves in 2 after a cloud of smoke to confuse enemies. The clone has the same powers that Seska has, the same speed, strength, agility, skills, but it has a very low endurance. A stab anywhere or a few shallow cuts will cause the clone to vanish.
Live Cards: Same effect as Wild Cards but this type of card can absorb living creatures..not limited to and including humans. To absorb a conscious and living creature is hard as they might manage to get out with enough struggle, rendering the card useless but with an unconscious body it is but a child's play. Even then there is the chance of the person realizing something is wrong, regaining conscience and getting out but the chances are slim to say the least. The more damaged the card is the weaker it becomes and if it is destroyed the thing inside it comes into the open.

Equipment

A magical deck of cards where each card has another deck of cards which contain various items collected throughout their journey during missions.
A mask that shows exaggerated expressions of the wearer's current mood. So exaggerated that it turns comical. No one but the wearer can remove the mask. If someone else tries to remove it, another mask will appear below, while the mask that they removed disappears.

Others

They are androgynous in appearance and behavior. The fact that they can mimic the appearance and voice of both genders makes it even harder to tell. The clothes that they wear don't help either. The baggy clown pants, the cut of the cloth, the many accessories, they all make it hard to see the shape of the body beneath. Their hands are slender in appearance.

Fears
Depending on their current personality and mood their fears vary greatly. From fear of spiders and closed spaces to Santa Claus and Christmas. But these fears aren't exactly "real" as in they don't really belong to their true person but instead to their layers of masks which are as much a part of them as everything but not completely them. So the effect that they have is greatly reduced.

One constant fear that every persona shares is the fear of syringes and the haunting ghost of their parent whom they killed coming back to them and blaming them, judging them, torturing them again.

But the greatest fear of all is the fear of being forgotten. Abandoned by everyone, even their family, their mother when they needed someone the most. Not one person thought to ask around where they went for weeks on end. Not one person cared.

[71452K]

Hmm. I would not say ALL of them are squishy. Ricardo and Reginald are a bit tankier, with Reginald likely being tankier of the two in terms of armor.

Elsie, fiers and alya might be squishy. But elsie was once an assassin and she can probably self heal. Bards gotta protect themselves too, you know, when a performance goes wrong ALL SORTS of things come hurtling their way. XD.

Now R'orrn ....eheheheheheEHEHEHEH! That's a squishy. A furry headed, panda faced squishy. :3.

@Spriggs27

Woah! Is that even allowed? @Bishop

[Bishop]

@71452K Yeah. My bad. I was certain I read "Sign-Ups Open" but must've mistaken it with the Join Status below that is green and says "Apply".

[71452K]

That's not what I meant. Lol. You're welcome to sign up! (If the host thinks there's still space.) Definitely. Welcome! :). I was kinda just shocked at how unbelievably OP your character seemed, that's all.

@Bishop

@71452K

Yeah, his character does seem oped. I got a character I'm about to post up that's meant to be a fighter and bishops' just seems overpowered in some aspects.

Oh, and my character will be kind of a tank.

[71452K]

Then I guess we'll be all set! @Spriggs27

[Spriggs27]

Didn't know if I had to post it here too, so I'm gonna just do it.

"A sword? Only weaklings and unskilled wield a blade, I choose to use my hands as my weapon."

Name

Rosha of the Void

Race / Age

Human / 22

Personality

Unlike others Rosha believes herself to be a tool and must follow the orders of those above her, whether the order is something simple as delivering a message to someone in a room across a hallway or kill someone that's across a nation, she doesn't hold her actions as a tool as her own, but as the person who commands her, she sees it as their actions being done through her whether she likes what she has to do or not.

Rosha has an earnest, quiet demeanor, but she also believes in bettering herself and always thinks there is room to improve upon something. She sees orders as the first thing that should be followed and done first, with secondary task being saved for when the primary orders are finished. Rosha on a personal level. Believes in an entity called the void and believes that she gets her strength from the entity through meditation, she also believes that no fight is worth getting into if the opponent doesn't look like they are worth it even if they are begging for a fight, but if they do attempt to attack, she is willing to defend herself but not fight back completely.

Backstory

Rosha was formerly a member of a cult called the followers of the void, a wandering group of people who believed in an entity called the void that shaped everything to float within an endless expanse called such and those who die believing in him would ascend to a different plain outside of it, and death was only a way to be removed from the void. Rosha, from birth, was ordered to be the group's protector along side a number of others, she along side them were told by their leader to not take the lives of others even if they were to kill one of them or anyone in the cult.

During a long trek through a forest, the cult was ambushed by a group of thieves, and during the fighting Rosha's mother was cut by one of the thieves and acting upon pure impulse, Rosha lost her temper and tackled them to the ground, then beat the thief into a bloody stain, for what seemed like hours she punched the thief for hurting her mother and eventually killed them in the heat of the moment. When she finally came to, the others in the group cast her out, with their leader claiming that she's a brute and a murder for what she had done, with the others listening to the leader they left her without batting an eye.

For two years Rosha wandered the lands, she felt as if she had no purpose in life anymore, that it wasn't worth it to keep going on, as she wandered into a small town, someone asked what was depressing her, once she explained her situation the man suggested that she join Virtuous Company and explained it would give her a purpose once more. After considering the idea, Rosha joined the company, with the lingering thought of being without purpose in her mind, she followed every order given to her, but always mentioned that she'd rather fight using her fist instead of weapons believing them to be more effective.

Physical Talents

When she joined the Virtuous company, Rosha not only came up with new moves for her hand to hand fighting, but developed new styles to deal with different types of enemies.

Fist of the Void- Rosha's first style, it's a simple yet powerful style, relying on simple brawling, the style uses somewhat flashy, slow, and very amateur looking wrestling moves, but what makes up for the moves her powerful punches and kicks. It's mostly a style to put herself on a same level with simple fighters and to lull more advanced fighters into a false sense of security.

Destroyer- Rosha's second style, Like in the name the style is meant to do as much damage as possible to her opponent or opponents, the style focuses on Rosha using her brute strength to attack and throwing all of her body weight behind all of her attacks while taking blows while fortify her balance, but the downside to the style is her slow movement and attacks.

Bolt- Rosha's third style, unlike the other two the style is very unrefined, it focuses on using mostly speed and dodging attacks instead of guarding against them or outright taking the blows, the style also uses fast punches such as jabs, hooks, and uppercuts. It's a style that makes Rosha easier to take down due to her not expecting to be hit or harmed while utilizing the style.

Magical Talents

None

Equipment

Steel bracers to help in blocking swords

Other

Rosha stands at the height of five-foot-seven with long, straight, black hair stretching from the top of her head down the length of her spine, with her bangs just covering her eyebrows. Rosha has a dark, and nearly caramel colored skin tone, with even darker plump lips. Her eyes are a bright gray color, lighting up the rest of her face, she has a small rounded nose and a smooth rounded chin. Rosha's form is a mix of curvy but also muscular, with her midriff being sculpted six pack, but with flared hips and smooth less muscular thighs. Her arms on the other hand have visible muscles, that when flexed grow two times their original size.

Despite the location or do to not caring too much about clothes, Rosha wears a black, sleeveless Gi made from a dense silk like material, wrapped around her wrist, palm, fingers, and forearms are several bandages and steel bracers, on her feet she wears a pair of dark boots.

@Bishop

I'll say this much; Fiers may not get on very well with this character.

[InkIsDorian]

Hmm. I would not say ALL of them are squishy. Ricardo and Reginald are a bit tankier, with Reginald likely being tankier of the two in terms of armor.

@71452K

Yeah, I was actually planning to play Reignald as a tank
And I think Reignald is gonna take a liking to Ricardo

[Spriggs27]

@Kalleth I don't think they were accepted.

[71452K]

Heheheh. I guess! But the alchemist isn't a soldier at all. He hunts monsters, not medals. Line formation and shiny, over polished swords are bewildering behaviour to him.

Now rosha on the other hand ...THAT'S a soldier. -ess. ...soldieress.
or soldierette? I think. @InkIsDorian

More like a drone.

[71452K]

It's not like having independant thought is a prerequisite for the military. :>.

[Kalleth]

Fiers' Opinions of the Rest of the Company;

Alya: "She can play a mean tune, but she really ought to speak up more, since some of us have a hard time figuring out which rations to pack for Little Miss Silent Treatement..."

Elsie: "You know how you'll beat the snot out of some arsehole who calls your mom a bitch even if deep down inside, you know the bastard's right? Yeah."

Reignald: "Ah, Reiggy. What a fellow. Has endurance like you wouldn't believe, for a man his age. You just wouldn't expect a man of his vintage to nail them as often as he does, and as hammered as he makes them, they still cool right off once he's done getting them hot.

I'm talking about swords you blasted pervert. Get your mind out of the gutter."

Rosha: "For a girl who claims to favour the straight and narrow, she sure loves to talk about her 'void' an awful lot. Although, maybe that explains itself quite nicely. Come now, you didn't think I was going to go for the obvious 'Master' joke did you? No, I don't think the Virtuous Company has sunk low enough to hire on any members of the Bator house. They're an awfully shifty group of nobles after all."

Ricardo: "In spite of his good looks, muscular ability, and penchant for concocting potions and chemical blends of various effects, I have it on good authority that consuming those purple pills of his does not engorge increase one's performance in any measurable way. Shame though, I bet he could whip something like that up in a heartbeat, should anybody need it. Nobody in particular, especially not any of the members of the Virtuous Company whose ability to garner female attention is lauded through kingdoms and fabled in legend. No sir. Ricardo also smells like a wet dog sometimes, so there's that."

R'Ornn: "Now I know that the Virtuous Company doesn't accept pets, but the closest analagous thing is a short mini-elf that can sparkle. It can also impale things. So a sparkly impaling midget and we couldn't get a Manticore? I'd be affronted but at least Ricardo won't murderfuck this shiny pokey bastard, and I won't have to make do with a legitimately fantastic area rug. ...How about that? Maybe I'll get a manticore after all. RICARDO! CAN YOU DO A THROW, MAYBE A NICE SPREAD FOR ME? I SWEAR I'LL PAY YOU BACK FOR THE MISSING PURPLES! ... Shit I don't think he knew about that. Maybe R'Ornn can crystallize the door he's trying to break down. No? Come on, don't go all PETA on me now! The Pernicious Egregious Total Assholes already got me arrested on charges of manticore trafficking!"

Edit: Someone made a snide comment. I overdid it. XD

[ManoftheNorth]

I like how there is no R'Ornn statement. XD Yesss. My plan is working.

[2plus2isnot5]

@ManoftheNorth That sounds ominous...

[Kalleth]

I like how there is no R'Ornn statement. XD Yesss. My plan is working.

@ManoftheNorth

You hadn't yet posted to the CS list. Fiers shall now update his list. Check again, good sir.

[Spriggs27]

I kinda felt that Rosha would just not speak unless spoken to. So more or less she'd probably just awkwardly stare at every, and if a conversation started with her, she'd probably play more of a listener, not much of a talker she's a quiet gal. She probably wouldn't bring up the Void unless asked about where she came from.
