Dawn of The Coming Storm (Co-GMed with Eklispe this time!)

_{Not well, is the answer. He will not take it well.}

@Kafka Komedy

Then I am sorry, but your character will need to be replaced unless the other players are fine with you going on a murderous rampage against their PCs.

[Senhara]

Which I am not

[Kafka Komedy]

@Letter Bee Woah, who said murderous rampage? He wouldn't go that far! He'd have a crisis of fate, go into a depression for a while, and realize that Baphomet does exist, inside him, and that he can convert his religion into an ideology.

@Kafka Komedy

My misinterpretation, sadly; all right, then. Thanks.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Letter Bee Wait I just realized, why are my generation powers under 'Change'? They don't change anything. I suppose I can understand wing generation being change since you're changing a wingless being into a winged one but Plant Generation and Blood Generation don't make sense there. Plant Generation should be World and as for Blood Generation... not sure but I feel like my original placing as Underworld makes sense since it keeps him from dying and allows him to 'sacrifice' himself for his bloody spraycans.

[Senhara]

Everyone is okay now?

@Kafka Komedy

For Plant Generation, World Magic cannot create Organic Matter, as I said before, as Organic Matter is composed of living cells, which can only be created by Change. I mean, World Magic can create Amino Acids and the other primordial building blocks of life, but anything above that (RNA creation) needs either extraordinary control or Change Magic.

Blood Generation is much the same thing. Blood is made up of living cells; Underworld Magic deals with the act of dying and passing on to other planes of existence, as well as said other planes of existence. Basically, stuff like Ectoplasm is covered by the School, but Blood, again, is covered by living cells.

What you can do, however, is combine Underworld and Change spells to create a 'Recusitation' spell that revives Lukas after sacrificing himself, allowing him to do what you wanted (making multiple spraycans of blood). However, this will require a drawback, which we can talk about.

[Letter Bee]

@Senhara

I still need two more players or so.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Letter Bee Oh so currently his blood cans have no affect on magic?

[Letter Bee]

@Letter Bee Oh so currently his blood cans have no affect on magic?

@Kafka Komedy

Yes, they have to be both made of living cells and extracted from human sacrifice.

My Character; I actually made something diverse.

Judith Lee

Name: Judith Lee

Age: 35

Physical Description:


Important items:

On Her Person:

- Bulletproof Jacket
- Twin Pistols with Platinum-tipped bullets.
- Butterfly Knives.
- Money in a Wallet.

In a Dimensional Pocket:

- Sniper Rifle
- AK-47
- Platinum Bullets
- First Aid Kit
- More Money
- Food
- Water

Short Bio: Judith Lee was born to ordinary parents, had an ordinary life, had above-average, but still ordinary grades. She hated it. She hated the expectations she nevertheless had as an only child, including the expectation that she would have to get married someday in order to find true happiness and security. Judith wanted a career, an independent existence, to be free from the world created by social constructs and mores. At the same time, however, she was selfish; she can care for others, but much less than she did herself. So, once she finished college, and her parents were setting up meetings with men her age who had an ''upstanding' reputation, Judith decided to run away and join the CIA in the early years of the War on Terror. And she has never looked back since; it was her path in life.

She rose quickly up the ranks as a skilled field agent, finding that she liked killing people, not because she relished their pain and death, but rather because she felt like it was a job well-done. However, she acquired a revulsion to torture and kidnapping, not because of any moral qualms but because it was pyschologically corrosive to the torturer, which may be her. At the same time, she also acquired a sense of empathy as time grew on, first towards her teammates, then towards civilians in general. Do not get her wrong, she can still drop that at any time, but it gave her something to center herself around other than self-interest. Then again, nurturing empathy for the good effects it had on her psyche might be taken as self-interest. Who knows?

Then, the Malakim Records came to her, the specific tome took on the form of a Red Book, a Red Book that showed her the secrets of Time and Space. And her life was never the same.

She reported this to her superiors, who instead of turning on her, instead asked her to reaffirm her loyalty to the United States and its institutions; they would need her help if this phenomenon continued. Without hesitation, she did; pledging renewed loyalty to her country, its institutions, and its ideals. Even then, however, her future would not have been secure had not President Beatrice Steele taken a direct hand in America's new 'Mage Policy'. Mages were an asset, people who are capable of as much good as harm. More importantly, the source of Magical powers, the Malakim Records, must be sought after. A secret project is also to be made to create copies of said Records using Group Spells; this was successful as well, and now the US Government, as the rest of the world is becoming more anarchic, has the ability to increase the numbers of Magi...

Spell List:

Judith has all six of her Spells as Timespace, so she can have stronger spells than other Magi with more spread-out Schools. Spells are listed from Weakest to Strongest.

Sense Ripple - Judith can see distortions in space caused by portals, teleportation, or attempts to twist fate to one's interests.

Timespace Encryption - Judith can encrypt electronic messages sent via her cellphone or other communications equipment to prevent people from tapping it (World Magic can do this as well, but with different methods).

Contracts of Fate - Judith can strengthen her own oaths with the power of destiny, increasing her luck and fortune when pursuing her oath. However, going against her oath results in the reverse; accidents will befall her more often, her equipment would break down, and her enemies would have an easier time finding her. Judith can also grant the benefits (and drawbacks) of this spell to people who have verbally agreed to having their promises bolstered in such a way. Yes, this is exploitable.

Homura's Pocket - Judith can store a number of items in a dimensional pocket as large as a small house. These items include weapons, food, technology, and even other magical items. Perishable items like food stay good for as long as they are in the dimensional pocket, due to the different flow of time there.

Prescience - Judith can, when she locks herself in complete darkness, see visions of the past, present, and future.

Gate of Gates - Judith can open a portal that connects two places on the same planet at once. This portal can be either the size of herself, or the size of a plaza, or anything in-between. The limits are that she can only open it on a place she knows by sight, whether through pictures or personal experience. That, and the gate can only be in Earth's gravity well, as gravity, at planet-size levels, distorts the fabric of space-time. And yes, changing the scenery of the destination to so that it no longer matches with Judith's memories prevents the portal from forming.

The portal lasts from one second to 24 hours.

@Letter Bee Okay, I've edited Lukas' powers. You wanna discuss what this 'great drawback' is for the Auto-life spell? I would assume it basically makes him catatonic for a day since it costs so much power and pains him so much.

@Kafka Komedy

I was thinking that he loses access to all magic for two posting rounds (we have no posting order, btw; we just wait for everyone else to post before posting ourselves), actually.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Letter Bee Ah, that's much less bad for him than. Sounds good to me, now Auto-life has a utility beyond getting his spraycans.

The Kind Punk

Name: Alma Albescu

Age: Eighteen (18)

Physical Description:

[+]

Important items:

-Crucifix Necklace: Given to her by her Father on her sixteenth birthday. It has no special properties, aside from being hollow. Alma often hides various things within it.

-Guitar: ‘Sally’, she calls it. A beat-up Yamaha ‘Troy Van Leeuwen Signature’. Cherry red and a constant companion; often carried on her back...along with a small battery-powered amp.

-Bike-Chain Bracelet: Given to her by Henryk, it is a deeply cherished accessory that never leaves her side. It appears to be bronze, and somewhat heavy; but Alma refuses to take it off.

Short Bio: Born into a family with deep connections to the Scorovese Mob, Alma lived a luxurious life, until the age of eight. In an attempted hit on her father, Ciriaco Albescu, their mother was caught by a stray bullet. Alma witnessed this, and had it forever scarred on her heart.

Shortly after, she and her brother, along with their father were placed in a Witness Protection Program. They left their home behind, and settled into a quiet life. As quiet as could be for the rowdy Alma. She took up singing and playing guitar, during those years; attending school and doing her best to make a name for herself. Doing her best to perfect her passions.

Now, she spends most of her time with her brother, Henryk; the person she feels closest to.

Spell List:

- Change: Stonearm Bramble Embrace Whenever stone, or concrete, or any such material is available, Alma can coax out a set of twelve arms. These arms are thick, quick and covered in vicious barbs. The arms seek to embrace the intended victim, trying to constrict and tighten their grip. The arms can perform basic attacks, in unison or in an unpredictable erratic pattern; something they utilize to properly position their foe. While they do not have much reach, able to extend only seven or eight yards from the point where Alma casts the spell, they are considerably strong, and heavy.

-World: A To B Using gravitational force, Alma creates a specific sort of ‘umbilical cord’ between a person and an object. Depending on which is heavier, one is dragged or flung toward the other. Increasing the pull can cause disastrous effects, leading Alma to exercise caution...unless the situation becomes dire. When pressed, A To Be can be used to create a gravity bubble inside a specific target; in an attempt to crush them from within.

-TimeSpace: Turnabout Reaching through the stitches of TimesSpace, Alma switches positions with a specified target. While it has practical application as an outright combat technique; it is more focused on strategy. Switching places with inanimate objects is possible, but it something Alma avoids unless necessary.

-High: Gentle Blade A hardlight construct brought forward by Alma. It appears as a large, curved blade levitating in the air. It is very quick, but surprisingly blunt; used to batter and interrupt foes. Given its near autonomous method of movement, despite that it can be directed by Alma, the Gentle Blade usually stays a fair distance ahead of her; seeking potential threats. If Alma is pressured, the Gentle Blade will attempt to intervene. The Gentle Blade can be detonated, if it has suffered sufficient damage; shattering into a spray of shrapnel covering a small circle around it. Once the Gentle Blade has been destroyed, Alma must wait three hours to re-conjure it.

-High: Lambent Buckshot Alma’s hands begin to glow, channeling the power of High Magic. Silver-white orbs, tiny and numerous, fly forth from her palms. While considerably dangerous, given the amount of projectiles, the spread of these orbs is unpredictable; they tend to harmlessly disperse if they do not hit a sufficiently squishy target. Those that are hit by a few of the pellets will suffer a concussive force (similar to rock salt being fired from a shotgun) intended to throw them off balance and cause a fair amount of pain. This is taxing for Alma, and a spell used rarely; given the time it takes to prepare and the uncanny drain it forces on her focus. Once used, there is a cooldown period of thirty minutes, but even then there are high risks involved. Usually Alma will use this in a situation where she is outnumbered.

-Change: What Lies Beneath When threatened, or pinned, Alma will use what she considers a ‘last resort’. She changes herself, much as she does with stone and concrete. Her flesh becomes sinister and poisonous, composed of segmented creatures that resemble grotesquely thick black-and-red centipedes. These growths are poisonous and can do nothing but bite those close enough. They rise from her, exposing the tender innards beneath. None of the centipedes can leave her body, attached as they are; but given their length, they can still pose a fair threat to those who get too close. If one of them is destroyed, or sufficiently damaged, Alma’s skin will return to normal; leaving her in a state of anguish.

Hope Alma is adequate! Let me know what you think!

[Senhara]

I personally like it, @Redward. But I am not the GM. Love the formatting.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Redward Same opinion here. Formatting is good, bio could use a lil' more work, but the spells are excellent. Creative, varied, and fitting for her personality. Good stuff.

[Redward]

@Kafka Komedy Yeah, the bio thing was a bit tricky; but there are lots of things I have in mind for her past that are intrinsic to Alma and the way she acts. I intend to cover some of that through In Character conversation and internalization.

Thank you! I tried to make the Spells reflect who she is, so I'm glad you caught that!

[Senhara]

@Redward Do you like Akyna?

[Redward]

@Senhara Yeah, just looked over her again! She has an interesting personality, and a curious mix of Spells. I'm interested to see how she handles people, hehehe. ^_^
