[spicykvnt]

Very interested in this rp!

[Letter Bee]

@Sho Minazuki So, what are skills, exactly? Are they the same as techniques?

@Ambra

Techniques are a sub-division of Skills; same for Spells.

[Marlowe]

@Letter Bee Ah, I got it, thank you!

Corine

Name:
Corine
Age:
21
Gender:
Female
Nationality:
Frinian
Heritage:
Raelinian/Frinian

Personality:
Stubborn and hot-headed, Corine always has something to say. Her tongue is as sharp as a knife and is fueled by her fiery temperament. It's said that, the more she teases someone, the more she likes them; if she's somewhat polite and quiet in one's midst, it's clear that she's not keen on mingling with you. Even when she isn't talking or fooling around, her strong personality is displayed by the way she acts. Corine will go to no ends in order to hide weakness-- this includes covering up injuries that hinder her.

She bottles up emotions that she deems are for the weak, such as sadness, fear, and infatuation. Because of this, she is prone to unleash her suppressed emotions on people, even the ones who are close to her. She is, however, incredibly loyal to her allies and will stick with them until the end. If they gather around and tell stories, you bet she'll be there, laughing and singing along with her friends. If they rush into a battle that might kill them, there isn't a way on earth she'll get left behind.

Biography:
Ever since she was little, Corine dreamed of joining the Frinian army as a knight. She wanted to be something other than a farmer, like her parents were. Rough-housing and going on adventures with the boys were a common occurrence, despite her father's protests. Her mother, on the other hand, fed into her ambition. She allowed her daughter ti engage in sparring competitions and other activities, even if Corine ended up hurt in one way or another.

When Corine was old enough to join the military, she left home and headed to Bellideaux to register for the army. She struggled as a recruit; on multiple accounts, she failed her assignments and was thereby known as a common foot soldier, at best. Becoming frustrated with her predicament and furious with her superiors, she began to act up, going so far as to questioning and confronting her officers. Eventually, she was discharged from the army and left to fend for herself.

Corine didn't give up that easily. She set off to make a name for herself, deciding that if the army didn't she wanted-- glory --she would, herself. However, traversing all of Galdria was no easy task, especially on her lonesome. Unfortunately for her, Corine didn't necessarily have enough money to buy a horse, for they were very valuable in Frinia. The next best thing would be a chocobo, and although she wasn't a fan of the thought of riding upon a flightless bird for much of her time, she had to do what she had to do. Ever since she met Zephyr, Corine has been riding across Galdria as a mercenary.

Combat

Level: 25

Class: Chocobo Knight: the Chocobo Knight is a mounted unit that bears decent strength and speed stats. With their trusted chocobo companion, they are skilled at direct combat but struggle at charging techniques. The Chocobo Knight also has the ability to cast curative spells and abilities that aid their allies.
Happy Feet: gains a 10% bonus to speed and defense.
Nimble: if knocked off her chocobo's back, Corine is able to remount without the use of protective abilities.
Fervor of Battle: when dismounted, Corine gains 20% strength but loses the same amount of speed.

Stats

Strength: 5

Dexterity: 2

Mind: 2

Piety: 4

Speed: 8

Defense: 1

Soul: 3

Equipment

Main Weapon: Iron Sword: typical iron sword that isn't really that heavy.

Off-Hand: Knife: when enemies get a little too close, it's time for Corine to break out this little fella.

Armor: a light set of armor that protects Corine just enough.

Additional: her mount-- a bright yellow chocobo that she calls Zephyr.

Techniques

Quickened Blows [SP/5]: if Corine's first attack hits, then she can immediately attack the closest enemy unit. If the enemy is staggered, it causes more damage.

Knife Throw [STR/3]: Corine throws her knife from a distance. If it hits an enemy that was previously attacked by an ally, it does extra damage.

Dash de Chocobo [STR/5]: Corine and Zephyr dash forward, slamming into an enemy unit in a flurry of talons and wings. Has a chance of staggering.

Choco Beak [STR/5]: Zephyr's beak allows for extra damage.

Spellbook

Protect [P/1]: conjures a small barrier on herself or an ally.

Choco Cure [P/3]: cures self or an ally.

Choco Esuna [P/4]: removes debuffs from herself or allies.

Choco Haste [P/SP/2]: if Corine chooses to quicken herself, then it relies on her speed state. If she chooses to quicken her allies, then it only relies on piety.

Dance de Chocobo [P/4]: slightly rallies allies.

Choco Flame [M/2]: fires a small flame at a single enemy.

Limit Break

Choco Cura [P/7]: cures herself or allies for a significant amount.

Choco Firaga [M/10]: fire magic that hits a single target for a decent amount of damage.

Ravenous Blows [ST/SP/10]: unleashes a flurry of fearsome strikes that does massive damage is the enemy is staggered.

Frenzy de Chocobo [ST/SP/15]: Zephyr and Corine become immersed in battle. Whether mounted or not, the duo carries out a frenzy of attacks that deal a great amount of damage to all enemy units.

Opportunity

Feign: when low on health, Corine has a higher chance at evading attacks. If she dodges right before the blow lands, she has a chance of staggering the enemy.

Resolute: Corine has a chance of surviving a fierce blow that has a chance of killing her, leaving her with 1 HP.

Taunt: when the party faces enemies stronger than them, Corine has the ability to draw attention to her through... an otherwise vulgar manner. This makes enemies try to attack her rather than her allies.

My character~

[Sho Minazuki]

Good god 15 speed, but you start at level 25 and not 35.

Limit Breaks are only 10/15/25 in strength, but in this case I'll allow the 7.

Skills look fine, and the opportunity skills look good too.

Once the stats and level is fixed, you'll be the first one to be approved.

[Letter Bee]

Discarded my old character.

[Marlowe]

@Sho Minazuki Ahhh! I'm sorry I'll get that fixed soon.

@Letter Bee Aww, why?

[Letter Bee]

@Ambra, Ah, was trying to be too many things with said character.

[Marlowe]

@Letter Bee Aight! Can't wait to see your new one!

[Letter Bee]

@Sho Minazuki@Ambra, New Char:

Name: Zakar Leonid
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Nationality: Raelin
Heritage: Raelin/Karo

Personality: Zakar at first seems like your typical bland Paladin archetype, but he is concious of his impression and a bit insecure of said impression; he is worried about being a walking cliche. This, in turn, leads him to read a lot, especially about history and culture. As for religion, he sympathizes with the Iconoclasts (ironic for a 'Holy' warrior) in their hostility to it, but considers Dogma a power too useful to cast aside completely. He also abhors the dark gods, slavery (where it could be found), and secretly feels guilt about the actions Raelin had done as an Empire. And, despite his sympathy with the Iconoclasts, Zakar is not blind to the fact that Magitek and Industry are giving birth to weapons that may one day rival Dogma, and has come to the conclusion that a new war is on its way. But this time, he would stand in the way of such a prospect.

Biography: Zakar was born in the heady days of the defeat of the Divine Beasts, to a former Priest and Priestess who had renounced the Gods in repentance for their actions during the Eidolon War. A precocious and intelligent child, Zakar was interested in all he can learn, including science, literature, and history. Kind and studious, gentle and peace-loving, it was not long before Zakar would receive a rude awakening when a criminal seeking some old Church treasures broke into his family's house and gravely wounded his parents; they survived, but Zakar had to be put under the care of an uncle who was more lenient in matters of religion. And from him, Zakar learned to question everything, including reason and the mechanics of reason, stopping only when the answers made him too uncomfortable. All in all, it was a happy life, despite the feeling that not everything was all right.

He was 14 when his parents were attacked; two years later, under the guidance of his uncle, he would begin his Paladin training. When his parents heard about it, they grumbled but did not oppose it. Zakar grew and developed over the course of his lessons, and two more years later, he was allowed to go with adventuring parties as they hunted monsters. Joining the more rag-tag outfits at first, he saw that people from multiple cultures can work together very well in the right circumstances; the challenge was in creating said circumstances. In his travels, Zakar also saw that the best way to get people to work together was when faced with a common enemy or crisis, such as when the Iconoclasts defeated the Divine Beast and peace was restored to the land. He also saw how people hated each other because of cultural and nationalistic differences, and hated it; sometimes, he wished that a second Divine Beast would appear and make people stop fighting with each other.

It was on a trip back to Raelin city that Zakar's uncle approached him with a revelation and an offer: The revelation was that he was a secret Dogmatist, and the offer was for Zakar to join him to unleash Hades as an Eidolon upon the world. Why would Zakar accept this? Because Zakar's uncle guessed his thoughts and feelings and knew that Hades would provide the perfect enemy to unify the world in opposition to him. Or at least, that's what he said to try and entice his nephew. But Zakar was not so far gone yet; he abhorred the Dark Gods and would have no truck with them.

And so, in a great battle, Zakar's uncle fought his nephew, who had just reached his 21st birthday. Zakar won, being younger and stronger, and turned his uncle to the authorities, but doubts still remained in his mind, doubts that he was doing the right thing. So, should he follow his uncle's path himself, or should he just hope that the world won't slide down to another war without a common enemy to fight?

Shield Wall [S6] - Zakar can double his Defense, which includes the bonus given by barrier, once per encounter.
Stunning Blow [S4] - Zakar can inflict Paralyze on an enemy; this attack reduces damage inflicted in exchange.

Opportunity -

Heroic Willpower - When faced with mind control, illusons, or effects that would transform his body, such as Petrify or Frog Zakar can resist the effects of such spells once per encounter.

Honorable Surrender - When fighting an enemy capable of sapient thought that in turn is overpowering him or his party, Zakar can raise his arms in surrender to elicit either pity or pragmatism in the enemy's mind, creating a chance for him to be spared. Against another player, meanwhile, Honorable Surrender forces a dialogue scene, allowing time for interaction or escape.

Patron of Lost Causes - When faced with overwhelming odds and the last one standing in his party, Zakar can resolve to fight on despite facing imminent loss. By doing so, his determination allows him to ignore wounds, damage, and maiming for the rest of the encounter. Note that once said encounter ends, the effects of his injuries finally set in, and he is wounded/maimed/dead afterwards.

This skill works even if Zakar was always alone in the first place, without a party.

[Marlowe]

@Sho Minazuki Edited my stats and adjusted my limit breaks a bit.

[Sho Minazuki]

@Ambra Looks pretty good to me. May or may not open OOC tomorrow.

[Marlowe]

@Sho Minazuki with that will come the discord, right?

[Sho Minazuki]

Naturally.

[Marlowe]

@Sho Minazuki Will your character be the level 40 Red Mage? Or are you making a new character?

[Sho Minazuki]

That's just an example, but he may appear if I feel lazy to make a character for any particular reason.

That said the characters I control will usually be the villain characters, and other NPCs also.

[AdmrlStalfos19]

Interest possibly checked. I still need to look through all the docs that'd been set up.

...

I'll see if I can spare the time to read the rest of the docs, and I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

[Hero]

Are other classes allowed or are we limited to those listed?

[Marlowe]

@Hero You can make your own I think, or use ones from other games? It's listed in character sheet.

[Letter Bee]

@Hero, @Ambra is right.
