@redbaron1234@KaiserElectric@wxps350@lavulman@Darkmoon Angel@Megsychan@Lmpkio@dragonmancer@A Lowly Wretch@stoneString@Crosswire@Dead Cruiser@Spiral Powered@Roughdragon1@DracoLunaris@GamerXZ@DracoLunaris@GamerXZ

Ready, on your marks, get set, fight!... well, not yet, anyways, that'll happen soon enough, ehehe.

[Dead Cruiser]

So can we have a couple of us fight as the next round in the tournament, or something?

[KaiserElectric]

Indeed you can, the tournament is set up to have several fights going on leading up to a final bracket. If you specify that you've signed up we'll set you up against someone. ;)

[baraquiel]

ayo. I'm very interested in joining you guys if y'all still accepting. Just wondering, are demigods allowed here?

[KaiserElectric]

@baraquiel Indeed we are, good sir! If you like you can hop onto the discord and say hello! ^_^

As for demigods being allowed, I think it depends on what you want to do. We have a general framework for what the players can do, but we are willing to discuss the idea you have and balance it out, if needed. :P

[baraquiel]

@KaiserElectric Ooo thank you very much. The demigod I've been working on is a daughter of Krios so technically speaking she's a demi-Titan. A demi-Titan's powers come from her heritage but I remembered this rp has ki as its main factor. I'm just wondering on how I can integrate ki in a demi-Titan and also because I thought that having a spawn of a god, Titan, or other sentient beings will be too op for your standards. :3

[baraquiel]

eyy this is what I've worked on. Please tell me if there's something I have to change and I'll gladly do it.

Diantha

⦋ Age looks 20, actually born around 1136 BC || Nationality Ancient Grecian || Gender Female ⦌

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

She stands 5'6" and weighs lightly as well. Her once black hair has turned white due to a millennium of being inside a star during her twilight slumber. Her skin also became fairer and she has bright blue eyes. She mostly dresses in white; in fact, all her dresses and clothes are white, probably because of her experience being inside a star for a long time. Those who seen her will always describe her as if she is literally glowing, which is something she can do too.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

soft-spoken, wallflower, ladylike, fearless, always curious, melancholic, sleepy-head, naive

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Diantha was born after the great Titanomachy, the war between the Olympians and the Titans. The sky god Zeus granted the imprisoned Titans freedom as long as they do no more harm against himself, the other Olympians, and anyone else for that matter. The Titans then lived peacefully for many years and sired children that later became gods, classical heroes, and horrifying villains until the war between the Olympians and the Giants was waged. Diantha, however, was born before that war.

She is the unspoken daughter of an ordinary human woman and Krios, the Titan of the South, of stars and constellations. Because of her mother's fear of siring a child of a Titan, she left the poor child alone and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. Krios took pity upon his daughter so he called upon the constellation Virgo from the heavens and tasked her to take care of his child but Diantha herself must not know she is a half-blood until her adulthood. He obscured her from the rest of the world by taking her in at the south to hide her from Zeus's view.

Since then, Diantha lived a very sheltered life with Virgo as her caretaker. Several constellations also took turns caring for her and protecting her from the dangers of the world. Diantha would always wonder on where did these peculiar beings come from but she thought that Virgo, the one she thought was her mother, was a witch and made all of these come true with her magic. Diantha's powers also began to manifest as she reached adulthood but again she thought it was a result of being a witch's daughter.

When she turned 18, she became more powerful than ever, attracting the attention of other monsters and gods, even Zeus himself. Krios took this time to show himself before Diantha and told her the truth about everything. Confused by all she had suddenly learned about herself and grief-stricken because everything she knew was a lie, Diantha ran off and attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff. Krios saved her and put her in twilight sleep, then encased her in a sphere of light where she stopped aging and put her into the heavens to become another star among the millions glowing in the night sky. This is his way of protecting her from Zeus's wrath and other dangers, and also his way of saving her. He made it so that one day, when she wakes up, it will be an age of where the gods will be no more and she can finally live in happiness and peace.

Fast-forward many years later in New Zealand, a meteorite crashed unto the farmlands of Mr. and Mrs. Grenshaw. When they investigated, there was no indication that a crash occurred there and instead of a meteorite, a glowing sphere of light floated instead. The light died and out came Diantha dressed in a simple white tunic, her skin became fairer and her hair turned white, and she glowed as if she is made from light herself. The couple always wanted a daughter of their own and took this as a literal blessing from the heavens so they raised her as her own. Diantha retained all her memories of the past and was thankful to be given another chance at life. She was confused on how the people of this time were very, very different compared to her time yet another thing that frightened her the most was the silence of the gods and Titans. However, every time she looked upon the constellations glowing in the night sky, she could swear she could feel her father's presence. It was close to nothing but it was enough for Diantha to feel that she's not truly alone in the world.

Now, two years after she was found by the Grenshaws, Diantha became a Nomad to find the truth about the silence of the gods, to find her father, and to give back to her adopted parents that cherished and took care for her.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

During her two years of being raised by the Grenshaws, Diantha learned quite a few fighting styles due to his adopted father being once a taekwondo teacher and due to heavy exposure from console fighting games, again the influence of her father. She has her own fighting style that she practiced on her own that took inspiration from her father's teachings and the dancing she sees on the television. Her style is similar to that of Lili in the Tekken franchise, where Diantha gracefully attacks her enemies' weakpoints to quickly defeat them.
However, she prefers to attack long-range and uses her abilities to keep enemies away while fighting at a safe distance.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Spotlight

Flashes her entire surroundings in bright light, blinding anyone who can see it. The light is emitted from her own body and she can still move freely even if this ability is still in effect.

■ Star-Forge

Diantha can create any construct and form it in any way she desires. She can create weapons such as spears and swords or even walls, jail cells, platforms, bridges, even flights of stairs.

■ Meteor Shower

Launches an array of small star missiles that can pierce through anything except those who are very high in defense and the like.

■ Star Wink

Summons an orb of star. Its orb of plasma is violet-blue and at its core is a smaller white light with even tinier lights flowing and glowing around it, similar to the model of an atom where electrons are revolving around the nucleus. She can displace it anywhere on the battlefield and call it to her side at will. It gives confusion to the enemy on where the star would appear to next.

■ Stellar Bursts

Its the name Diantha gave to her two guns. These guns are also made from the same material as her constructs. She mainly uses these to concentrate her powers into the form of star orbs which are more powerful than ordinary bullets and also explode on contact. She can also use the bullets with Star-Forge to fire out different constructs at once and can even create structures with them.

■ Heavenly Light

Diantha uses light from the stars to heal any physical wounds, broken limbs, severed tissues, etc. She can only use this ability when exposed to natural starlight or when the stars are visible in the sky.

SUPER MOVES

■ Summon Constellation

Summons the constellations to fight by her side. Their respective constellation are branded on their chest or forehead. Unlike her Star-Forged creations, the constellations can move with a will of their own but they still obey Diantha's orders. Each constellation has its own unique abilities.

■ Supernova

Wills a star to explode with the power of a hundred grenades.

■ Surge Gravita

Wills a star to explode with the power of one grenade. A sphere of darkness will form after the explosion, pulling everyting to it with a strong force of gravity. Diantha can use it to stick two or more enemies together, to stick an enemy against an object, or use it directly at the target to tear it to shreds.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

• Diantha is not that great when it comes to close combat.
• Heavenly Light cannot cure sickness, cancer, and mental disorders such as depression, heartbreak, and the like.
• Those who are abnormally strong can break her Star-Forged constructs. However, the constellations have a higher endurance.
• Diantha can only summon one constellation at a time.
• Despite aging normally after her long twilight slumber, Diantha is still clueless about anything in the current era so her enemies can use it against her.
• Additionally, she became a bit sleepier than usual from a millennium of slumber. She is working on it though.

OTHER

---

• All her Star-Forged constructs and constellations have white skeletons surrounded by violet-blue exoskeletons with even tinier white lights flowing within them.
• In addition to speaking the language of her time, Diantha also learned how to be fluent in English and Maori.
• She sings really well and often joins singing competitions to help out her new family.
• Diantha is about to enter college by the time she joins the fighting arena.

[Savo]

Ok, so, @baraquiel, got to reading your sheet and here's the short story - I think she's firmly a Mary Sue and is rejected right off the bat and should be scrapped.

Here is the longer version.

Lets get into the first portion, via the fact that she slept in a star. I know the rp does take a couple of leaps from reality, but the fact that she slept in a star probably already puts her ahead of the rest of the cast in durability. She would have to have high resistance to heat, kinetic force, radiation, gravity, and so on and so forth. Doesn't that kind of... do much for a demi-god? She sounds more like a god or something.

Moving on to the backstory; I usually don't have any problems with this part of the sheet, but honestly, it just doesn't resonate properly. I understand the backstory revolves around a pc usually, but it has reached a point of ridiculousness with hers. Ok, so Krios is her father and he doesn't want her to know she's a half-blood for some reason, ok. She lived a sheltered life with Virgo and for some reason the constellations all decided to take care of her. I mean, I could probably be alright with her being a half-blood, I'm not adverse to the idea... but this is where she begins to sound like a special snowflake.

Moving on, this is the part where it establishes multiple things - where she sounds more powerful than the cast (and possibly some bosses we haven't introduced yet) and attracts the attention of gods such as Zeus and monsters because of how powerful she was. How powerful does one have to be to catch the eye of Zeus and other monsters? I mean, I've read some myths, but that's besides the point. All attention shifts from whats going on to her exclusively it seems.

Then she tries to kill herself for the sole reason that her life was a lie. She gets put in a star which is probably more like a meteoroid, but that's besides the point. Sleeps for a while and the sphere of light stops her aging.

And despite wanting to kill herself originally, she doesn't try this again at all, even after retaining all her memories after sort of having a backstory similar to Superman in a sense, but eh, that's besides the point. The backstory isn't that good considering she becomes a sort of black hole that draw everything towards her and that also makes her powerful to a problematic degree.

Moving on to the fighting style... there is little in the way of explaining how she actually fights, or rather it shows one thing then shows another. Her fighting style employs certain moves that are inspired by taekwondo and fighting styles from fighting games, as well as dancing. You've compared her to Lili from Tekken.

Oh, and she prefers to fight at long range though. I would expect to see a sort of mix, probably more moves based on the former than the latter portion of this all, but I do not see any special moves that are based on the former portion of this all, rather the latter. Moving on to her moveset, let me breakdown each one and why they don't work.

Spotlight flashes the entire surroundings in a bright light and can blind anyone who can see it. She can still move freely while this is going on. So basically, unless you can ki sense, you're not going to be able to fight her with your eyes. Diantha automatically gimps anyone who can't ki sense since there's no limit to this ability/how long it lasts since it seems she can have it on indefinitely with no repercussions at all. Until the fight ends, a character is permanently blind.

However, even if they got through that, there's still the rest of her kit they have to handle. Star-Forge allows her to create any construct and shape it in any way possible. There is no limit to how many she can create, how quickly she can create them, and how durable they are (while we do know they are less durable than Constellations, we don't know how durable they are either). So she can trap a character the whole fight and beat them up easily with no set backs or anything unless they have abnormal strength. Again, what would account for abnormal strength? Is the average nomad able to smash through them?

Meteor Shower just sounds really unfun and unfair on so many levels. This attack pierces through anything except those who have high defense... so you can't block them and have to get out of the way. Again, there seem to be no drawbacks to this move at all, save for people having high defense. I'm pretty sure if this is the case, then no one will probably be able to resist this attack.

Star Wink... like King Crimson, what does it do? Other than being teleported around the battle field, does it have the same properties as a star? If so, then that's a big no already. Other than that, I have no idea what this move does.

Stellar Bursts. Sooooo she created some guns from the same material her constructs were made from and the bullets are stronger than normal bullets and explode on impact... she can also shoot out constructs with them. I already do not like this, based on what I know about the constructs and the fact that, again it seems powerful to the point where there is nothing debilitating about it. What's the point of shooting a bullet that's stronger than a gun when she could possibly shoot out a skyscraper?

Heavenly Light is just no. This means she will always be able to heal outside of caves, buildings and everything else since the sun is a star... and the reason the moon is bright is because of the sun. It isn't clear how fast this allows her to recover her wounds, but based on it all, I'm probably thinking that this heals her fast. Under that assumption, she can use this to heal fast and constantly have an edge on her opponent since there are no real drawbacks to utilizing it at all.

Summon Constellation suffers from problems similar to constructions, save that they are more limited.

Supernova... does 18 times the damage of a single c4, considering it weighs 1 kg. Basically, this will either one shot or kill an opponent outright is what I'm assuming. This sounds like something that would one shot a person. I'm comparing another characters super, Otsana to this one in which she uses 1 kg of C4. This attack roughly matches 18 kg of C4 based on what they've helped explain to me, so once more, this would probably one shot people which I'm not ok with. I know supers are supposed to be flashy, powerful attacks, but I feel this goes... overboard.

And finally Surge Gravitas will basically slowly kill and or instantly kill someone if it makes contact with a person, right? That's what I'm getting, despite it having indirect functions as well. Part of me is already going no since this sounds like a bs way to kill off someone else. While it does have other functions, it either kills a person or is used as a utility. I'm also basing this on how powerful she is too, sooooo yeah...

Moving on to her weaknesses... they aren't that good. She isn't good at close combat, yet the fighting style she was supposedly taught is probably involved in close combat. Heavenly Lights drawbacks are just poor; it can do everything else except cure sicknesses or mental stuff, but has no limits to how fast it can heal, how many times it can be utilized, and so on and so forth. Again, what qualifies as abnormally strong? I feel the one constellation at a time doesn't matter since, you know, it's a super move and I don't think she's going to have the ability to pull it off more than once. Based on this, you're telling me she could probably pull this off consecutively. And finally, I don't think the last two really matter that much since she slept inside a star and is very overpowered with her kit to the point where she is a jack of all trades and master of them all.

My apologies, but I don't really see any way to work this character out other than scrapping it entirely. I'm not adverse to demigods in this rp, at least not right now anyways, but it sounds more like you created a god in a mortal guise rather than a demigod.

Akhult

Beast Form

⦋ Centuries Old || Cetacean Mythic || Male ⦌

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

Akhlut is a huge orca hybrid, standing at slightly over eight feet at the tip of his dorsal fin and weighs in at nearly 550 lbs. He sports the traditional colors of a regular killer whale, with black and white being his predominant colors. His massive mouth is lined with two rows of sharp, blunt teeth, perfectly suited in biting down prey and even in piercing metal hides. Two pectoral fins jettison behind his jaws, a callback to his cetacean origins, and while functional underwater they are useless on land. To replace them, he has two muscular arms with five thick fingers that are more than capable in strangling anyone he can get his hands on. Two pairs of spiked shoulder and wrist pads provide minimal defense against other opponents. He also sports a tail fluke. His regular clothing are made from brown leather - those being his jacket, tunic, and boots.

In his beast form, Akhlut resembles an Orca-Wolf-Wyvern hybrid, standing at a height of twelve feet (at the tip of his fin). He earns a hide made of sleek scales, producing a water-tight seal that makes him not only more durable, but still allowing him to be incredibly mobile in the water. His arms become longer, ending with a sharp "wing" that also connects to his back leg. Shoulder spikes flank his dorsal fin and his tail becomes more shark-like, looking more like a deadly axe.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Legends say, that long ago in a seaside village now known as Nuuk, Greenland, there was a man named Toklo. A middle-aged and grizzly figure, sporting a bushy beard and long smooth hair, he was a local fisherman for his village. Every few days he’d go out on his large canoe and capture fish for his people, often supplying a weeks-worth per catch. Having worn the mantle for nearly forty years, he was once considered as one of the best fisherman in the region, able to identify nearly every kind of fish or marine mammal and knowing each and every spot where said creatures usually congregate. He’s even known to capture seals all on his lonesome and legends say that he and his friend had killed an angry orca that threatened to turn over his boat. In short, he was a highly respected hunter, with some claiming he’s the son of a god.

Yet as one of the greatest fishermen in his region, Toklo doesn’t simply see the ocean as a simply a place to hunt for food. And not only does he enjoy in meeting the ocean every so often, he obsesses over it. This became more and more prominent the older he became, even to the point where he visits the ocean every single day, no matter his condition. He often finds himself out at sea during his hunts for days at a time, relying simply on the fish at sea to nourish his human needs. It also wouldn’t be uncommon to see him swim in the frigid waters either, usually for several hours, and miraculously not receive any frostbite. Toklo has claimed that he had always felt out of place on land and desired to be one with the ocean. Initially his remarks weren’t taken as seriously, at first minding it as childish aspiration before considering it as a means to express his passion for fishing. But when his days out at sea began worrying the villagers, both on the possibility of losing their champion and the fact that they will reach starvation, it finally became clear to them that he quite literally meant it. He was spending more time wading with the fish, then using them to help his people.

The villagers eventually concluded that Toklo became mentally unstable and ultimately banned him from their village entirely. So when he found out day later after the banning, the fisherman was utterly devastated. Casted out from his own village after being proclaimed as a hero and champion, he was forced to travel the icy tundra in search for a new place to call home. During his travels, he encounters a pack of arctic wolves and, through unknown reasons, decides to join them. Of course, Toklo was immediately rejected and nearly mauled to death as he attempted to run away into the hills. However, before he would become food to the pack, the fight was interfered by an evil earth spirit, Amarok, who took the form of a gigantic black wolf and scared off the pack just by his sheer presence alone. Having sensed the human's vengeance against mankind, the wolf decided to make the fisherman a wolf himself, only after having Tolko to become his servant and to do his bidding in exchange. Tolko, now a black and white wolf, agreed reluctantly as he forced himself to join under Amarok’s guidance.

Yet after serving the spirit for only a week, does Tolko still wish to remain in the sea. Now that he feels that he has been ensured to never set foot in an inuit village again, he vows for the perfect opportunity to head back into the affection of the ocean he has loved for all these years. So when Keelut ordered Tolko to ravage a seaside village, the rebellious wolf ran away after descending deep into the village. Now free from Amarok’s grasp, Tolko descends deeper and deeper into the depths below, ready to become one with the ocean.

Yet his duty on Earth wasn’t complete. As the spirit gatherer of the dead Anguta was about to take his soul to the underworld, he too was intercepted by another spirit. Agloolik, an evil spirit of the ocean, sensed Tolko’s distress and inspected his condition. Recognizing him as the prior legendary fisherman everyone was talking about, the spirit offered him another chance to redeem himself by placing him back in his human body. Tolko disagreed full-heartedly, insisting to the spirit to give him the body of that of an orca and to earn a body that will grant him revenge against the people who banned him from the village. Agloolik granted his wish, morphing his body into what many call a cross between a wolf, an orca, and a wyvern. Thus Tolko was no more, for he is now known as...

Akhlut.

For centuries afterwards as he terrorized the inuit people around Greenland and the nearby islands and coastal regions of Canada, destroying their villages and eating their fish and livestock. No one was able to stop him and the gods didn’t help for unknown reasons. Yes once they were able to trap Akhlut briefly in a glacier, various villages were destroyed by the malevolent beast, including Nuuk itself. Yet despite his absence, the inuit passed down their experiences to their descendents, eventually sparking great legends and nightmares for centuries to come.

Fast forward to the present day… Akhlut has freed himself from his icy prison and found himself in a strange new world that felt quite alien to him. His new default body is an orca-human hybrid, secretly provided by Agloolik during his frozen slumber in preparations for his revival, provided an easier body for him to move around in the urban jungles that littered nearly the entire Earth. The creature's spark for revenge against humanity has since vanished, yet it doesn’t mean he’s on the side for good. Attempting to blend in with his environment, he decided to work as a traveling mercenary-for-hire, joining anyone just to retrieve a sense of newfound purpose and to make a good profit or so. However, despite having to adapt to his new life, never does the thought of the ocean leave his mind in one form or another. And so once every often, when he doesn’t have a day that’s booked, he takes a nice refreshing dip into the nearest body of water and remembers the life back before his transformation.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

Akhlut is a heavy-duty brawler, using his extreme strength to utterly demolish his opponent and his thick blubbery hide to take quite a beating. Yet he is no slugger, as he often produces unpredictable movements in combat to throw his opponent off. He's also no stranger to fighting dirty, or virtually with anything he can get his hands on. He's also surprisingly fast and agile, allowing to leap high distances to keep up with his opponent and dodge any incoming fire. While preferring to combat his opponent with his bare hands, he is also quite proficient in using heavy weaponry, like rocket launchers and mini-guns.

Akhlut also uses echolocation to search for his opponent when he's unable to see them. This is extremely useful when navigating in a pitch-black environment, or when he's underwater. Speaking of underwater, it can come as no surprise that he's extremely fast when swimming under the waves, using his tail and pectoral fins to move freely in the water.

Akhlut’s beast form is much more brutal and savage, as he strives to put his opponent down in a fit of raw strength and wrathful intent. He'll do whatever means necessary within the amount of time he has in order to decimate his rivals.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ [Heavy Punch]

Akhlut charges strength into his fist of choice and unleashes it on his opponent's face. It's even strong enough to dent metal.

■ [Seismic Sock]

Akhlut stomps the ground, unleashing a miniature earthquake that stuns any opponent on the ground for a short moment.

■ [Armor-Piercing Bite]

Akhlut can bite down on his item of choice with all of his strength, being capable of ripping metal limbs and armor plating.

■ [Blow-Blast]

Akhlut can unleash a blast of high-pressured water or air and unleash it on his opponent. Water can pierce through metal, while air can knock a person back several meters.

■ [Echolocation]

Akhlut is capable of using echolocation just like regular whales can, using it to search his surroundings in total darkness or underwater. It's also used as sonar to detect any nearby opponents.

■ [Sonic Clicks]

Akhlut is capable of unleashing powerful sound clicks from his mouth at near rapid-succession. It's loud enough to be able to burst eardrums or increase the body temperature inside an organic opponent if it's concentrated on the opponent for long enough.

SUPER MOVES

■ [Charge Burst]

Akhlut charges at his opponent at great speed, threatening to slam into his opponent like an incoming freight train. This move can also be issued underwater for a greater effect.

■ [Geyser Bust]

A stronger version of Blow-Blast, Akhlut can charge up and unleash a more powerful version of said attack, both at greater width and destructive power.

■ [Beast Form]

Though rage of adrenaline and fury, Akhlut is capable of transforming into a giant orca-wolf-wyvern hybrid. In this version, he's more powerful and agile, while also being capable of unleashing large high-pressured water beams from his mouth. He's also much more adapted to swimming in this form, going at incredible speeds to run down his prey. His tail can also be used as a weapon and he can climb on walls.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Akhlut is one big mass of aggression and anger. He puts up a very heavy offense and while his blubbery mass provides him with natural armor, his only defense is by ruthlessly attacking his opponent. A clever opponent is capable of outsmarting him through misdirection and by outmaneuvering the big lug.

The orca-hybrid often has a hard time taking things that are stuck in his blowhole. That means, if something blocks the passage, the creature's Blow-Blast and Geyser Burst abilities will be temporarily compromised. It's also a location where he can breathe so taking it out limits him in breathing from his mouth.

Speaking of his mouth, one well-placed grenade or beam inside Akhlut’s mouth can cause serious harm if exploited correctly.

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

APPEARANCE

Standing with a tincture of valor in his dark blue eyes, Katsuo stands at about 5'9," a bit below average for what you might expect out of a nomad, but that can be overlooked for... certain reasons. To add onto his rather unassuming appearance, he does have a rather average build, flat midsection with some difficulty in telling if he has any muscles at all. While he does stand upright, for the most part, he walks with a slight slouch. His clothes seem rather ordinary as well, wearing a slick black jacket with white stripes and indents here and there, with some fluff at the collar as well. The rest of his clothes don't stand out, with a plain white t-shirt underneath, some black pants and shoes to complete the style. Other than his confident and haughty smile and his obvious Japanese accent, the biggest thing that stands out is his sword. It's nearly as large as him and is a lot heavier than what the average could wield. Some parts of it seem chipped away, yet it holds a sharpened edge to it all, seemingly pulsing with energy, glowing red from time to time.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Myths recount of many things, such as the tales and triumphs of figures who when on a spanning journey to return home, or the trickery of creatures that would inspire fear or lessons into the hearts of others, however there is one story that has been lost to time. Long ago, legends tell of a fabled sword that was wielded by a warrior and his descendants that would fall any enemy that was unfortunate to come across time and time again.

With each passing generation, the sword would become bathed in myriads of blood to the point where it was sopping wet with the crimson hue. As a result of the mixture of the blood bought with the lives of enemies, the blade began to develop powers and grow into its own being. It held an insatiable bloodlust that would only extend to its victims if they lacked the willpower to control it, forcing them to tame it through absorbing a specific amount of blood. Many lacked the strength of mind and soon it became lost to the sands of time.

Fast forward to me, Katsuo, a normal Japanese highschooler into his second year. Life was... decent I suppose with your typical family of four - dad, mom, a younger sister, and I. Life in high school was pretty friggin' great for the most part to the point of sheer perfection. I wasn't the top student across all classes, sure, but I was always expected to be in the top ten by my peers.

Participated in a couple of clubs as well, ranging from being Captain of the Kendo Club, a member of the Occult, Singing, and Anime Club, and even was a part of the student council. Never decided to go for President since I fear my perfect charisma wouldn't allow another person to be elected for the entirety of my semesters here! I did participate in a bit of track as well, though that was one of my weaker areas I would say.

Honestly, life got boring pretty fast, as not only did I have a set schedule, but I was always surrounded by chicks who would fawn over me. Jeez, I like the attention, but y'gotta tone it down sometimes, you know? Doesn't matter if you're cute or sexy. Regardless, I was strained for any sort of reprieve from this boring life was interrupted by a sudden visit from Aunt Camila, an anthropologist of sorts.

She claimed to have discovered the sword of their descendants and how a mystic (a fortune-teller, not one of those cute nekomata's at my school) foretold of a prophecy which I was shown wielding this weapon. The prophecy was a bit vague, but it basically surmounted to me repelling a great evil and saving the world. However, in using the sword, I would have to end up making a pact with it to satiate it with the blood of fallen enemies, which should be easy since I was attacked by multiple villains trying to shut me down before I could grow strong enough to fulfill my destiny.

So I spent the rest of my high school years not only dealing with the stresses of hot chicks and normal life, but fighting off evildoers while training under my master... god bless his soul. Regardless, with my high ki levels, training completed in about one and a half years, as well as my graduation, I'm heading out to prevent this evil from destroying our world.

Wish me luck, though I'm damn sure I don't need it!

Blinking, he began looking over the notebook once more, smiling to himself as he tapped a pencil at his lips, passing by many people who glanced over at Katsuo. Most of them made a few comments, keeping to themselves as they shrugged and continued walking towards the stadium. He then beamed to himself before closing the notebook with a satisfying thwack as he lightly jogged towards the stadium.

There was no way in hell he was missing this annual event.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

The only real training he has is from swinging this heavy ass sword around. Most of it is seemingly self taught with some of the basics nailed down, albeit nervously. Focusing more on overwhelming power, he uses his sword and slightly above nomad average amount of ki to try and slice at opponent with as much power as he can possible, albeit crudely and clumsily to a certain extent. He lacks any sort of fighting style and hasn't done a whole lot of research on how to really put it to proper use, but hell, it's badass! Along with that, he seems to switch between three different "stances," if you could call them that, unwillingly due to his sword. Depending on how much damage he deals or soaks up allows him to progress into different "stances," changing his defensive fighting style to one where he becomes no different than a bloodthirsty beast. So to summarize, think of a knight and berserker and how they might seemingly fight... this also may or may not reflect on a sudden change in his personality.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Executioner

Katsuo rushes forward, slashing his sword horizontally at the opponent. Under a specific circumstance, if Katsuo manages to hit his opponent's throat, this attack will do twice as much damage, as well as double his blood build up from it.

■ Penetrating Toss

Lunging forward, Katsuo grits his teeth as he stabs the tip of his blade into the opponent. He then proceeds to put all his power into this attack and slice upwards into an uppercut. This launches the opponent off of his blade and into the air.

■ Purge

Slowing down and taking a deep breath, Katsuo grasps the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, closes his eyes, and holds the fuller close to his body. He then remembers his true goals, casting aside his more... bloodthirsty thoughts. Not only does this keep him from losing himself, it also alters what stance he is in. If he is Blood Born he goes down to Blood Thirst and so on. It has no effect once he is in a Blood Starved state and does not work the other way around (e.g. making him go from Blood Starved to Blood Thirsty and so on).

■ [Blood Starved] Dark Signal

Focusing all of his might into his sword, making it glow a dark shade of crimson, he braces himself for the next attack made by his opponent. If the opponent attempts to strike at him when he does this, Katsuo immediately retaliates by parrying the the opponent with his large blade and striking them. This doesn't deal as much damage as Executioner when it strikes the neck, but it does deal more damage than a regular Executioner strike.

■ [Blood Starved] Tricky Weapon

Seemingly going in an overhead arc, Katsuo quickly switches the way he is holding it in midair and smashes the pommel of the blade against the opponents head. While this does stun them, it destabilizes them as well, making them easier to hit for the black swordsman.

■ [Blood Thirsty] Bloody Maria

Stabbing the ground with his sword, Katsuo surges his ki into the sword, causing an explosion of blood around him. While this does little to no damage, it knocks opponents down, as well as leaves them coated in a thin layer of blood. If an opponent steps into the blood, they will slip over and fall down. Only one blood puddle can appear on the battlefield at a time.

■ [Blood Thirsty] Crossbleed Slash

Katsuo runs forward, slashing the enemy from side to side twice in and X formation. If they are covered in any sort of blood, they will end up bleeding out, resulting in damage over time for the adversary; along with that, the layer will be removed upon being hit with this attack.

■ [Blood Born] Blood Letter

Arcing his sword above him, Katsuo strikes the bloodied blade down onto the opponent, slamming them into the ground. After ten seconds, the opponent will suddenly cough up a bit of blood, in which during this time, they will take damage over time for a short bit and their defense will be decreased in the process.

■ [Blood Born] Leeching Mongrel

Utilizing his ki in tandem with his sword, he rushes forward, jamming his hand into his opponents chest before swiftly utilizing this power to turn it into a bloody looking claw. This causes the opponents to feel not only a sharp pain in their chest, but when he tears it out, blood will explode everywhere the opponent will feel a bit woozy as a result of extracting blood from them during the attack. No gashes will be left, but they will still take damage and attack damage will be sapped just for a bit. If utilized on a person covered in Vile Blood, instead of lowering the damage dealt to Katsuo, it will deal double damage.

SUPER MOVES

■ [Blood Born] Beyond the Abyss

As if he's about to use his ability Purge, Katsuo performs the same thing as he would during it, taking a deep breath, holding the fuller close to his chest, and taking a deep breath. However, as soon as he breathes out, his eyes suddenly open, his gaze a mixture of rage but also of a strange sort of calm. Swiftly, he stabs the tip of the blade at his opponent, leaving them in a stunned state for the duration of this super if not dodged or blocked, but not before yelling "This blade of mine boils with an awesome power!" He then uses Penetrating Toss, shouting "It's searing edge tells me to defeat you!" While they are descending, his sword radiates with bloody power and grows in size before Katsuo performs a spin attack on the opponent, crying out "TAKE THIS! MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW!" for the duration of the attack. He then quickly jumping back and performing a front flip and slashing the opponent with all his might, giving one last howl of power "BEYOND THE ABYSS!" This completely resets him to Blood Starved.

*He may or may not say the dialogue that appears here.

■ [Blood Thirsty] Soul of Chaos

As if he's about to use his ability Purge, Katsuo performs the same thing as he would during it, taking a deep breath, holding the fuller close to his chest, and taking a deep breath. As soon as he finishes, parts of his body begin to randomly glow a scarlet shade. Temporarily, he becomes a fast as he would be in his Blood Born state, as well as gaining high defense as with his Blood Starved state. This slowly fades over time, however there is something additional to go along with this - he gains access to all his moves for the duration of this super.

The moves he utilizes during this super will result in him being either put into his Blood Starved or Blood Born state at the end of this; if he relies on Blood Starved attacks or attacks with no state attached to it, then it will count towards him ending up in his Blood Starved state. If Katsuo utilizes Blood Thirsty or Blood Born attacks, that will count towards him becoming Blood Born. Incidentally enough, he cannot use Purge at all during this state.

■ [Blood Starved] The Vile Blood

As if he's about to use his ability Purge, Katsuo performs the same thing as he would during it, taking a deep breath, holding the fuller close to his chest, and taking a deep breath. However, as soon as he breathes out, he instantly opens his eyes which are glowing a bright shade of red before instantly stabbing himself. This deals a good amount of damage to himself and immediately makes him Blood Born. This isn't the end of the move as he will swiftly ripping the sword out of him and launching a Vile Blood wave at the opponent. If it hits them, it barely does any damage, but it soaks them in Vile Blood and makes their movements slow for a short amount of time, as well as grant the user the ability to regain health every time he deals damage to them. The time to regain health also does have a set window as well, though it does last longer than the slow.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

One of the major downsides to his fighting style is that he cannot access all his moves at once and is forced to play it by the ear when going from one state to another. Moreover, he can only change his state in a few ways, one of which is through Purge, which lowers his "blood" level. The other way he does this is through dealing damage or taking damage, which inadvertently increases his "blood" level.

Continuing along with his forms, each of them give him weaknesses to match the benefit; his Blood Starved state gives Katsuo high defense, but he lacks speed in this given form. When he transgresses into his Blood Thirsty state, his defense and speed become equal, making it so that he becomes a jack of all trades, but master of none. And finally, when he becomes Blood Born, his speed increases but he takes more damage in this state due to his defense become abysmal. There is also the fact that his personality alternates as well, but that's better done than said.

To follow up, while he does dynamically change during the battle and hits very hard, Katsuo has the tendency to overestimate his capabilities and act smug... a lot. Along with that, he has a sort of a romanticized predisposition, which means he may try to interject himself into specific situations and possibly make things a lot worse, especially when it comes to women. And most of all, from the way he fights, it looks like he lacks finesse and seemingly doesn't have a lot of substantial training.

■ He seems to carry around a notebook with him in his satchel. Has different scribbles in Japanese, as well as a page with his name in it and details over myriads of things. Along with that, it seems he has drawn chibis of himself using the weapon.
■ Seems to be a huge fan of the Soulsborne Series, as some moves he has written down in his notebook seem to be based off of the games.
■ Along with that, he seems to write small excerpts in the remaining space he has, ranging from short stories to journal entries.
■ Whoever makes a pact with the sword he wields will end up having their ki levels spiked; an example being is if a regular person made a pact, their ki would be boosted to levels similar to your average nomad.

@Dead Cruiser I may be no GM, but uh, how's that collab going? We're kinda waiting on you and Darkmoon to finish up. Can you give a public status on how that's going?

[KaiserElectric]

Demonic Oni made from Stone are assaulting the arena!

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE.

[Lmpkio]

Sorry if I kinda jumped the gun @Pirouette, I've been a little hyped for this moment and deployed it too early. I should've waited for you to post first, my bad.

(Still gave you options and didn't try to force anything. If it seems I did, let me know and I'll change it to what you deem fit).

[Darkmoon Angel]

Hey, I may be getting getting out of my creative slump. :)

Patch Notes: Kaiser Update 1.2

Klara's moveset feels a little lacking, so she's getting some new and expanded specials to help her shine a little brighter!

-Ice Blast no longer restricted to one shape.

-New Special Move, Permafrost Punchers: Klara can create ice gauntlets on her hands for extra punching power and extend swords made of ice from them in case more reach and cutting power are needed. The blades are sharp but fragile, and the gauntlets and swords can be fired off similarly to an Ice Blast

Okay, guys. I'm sorry I haven't posted yet and I'm still not gonna post soon. I spent Easter with the family and my flight back home was cancelled. Last few days have been crazy with trying to balance out work, class projects and making sure that Ryanair doesn't leave me stranded.
