[OOC] Catalyst: The Trading Card Game (Reboot)

[Raging Fenrir]

@Dynamo Frokane Okay, cool. I'll try to get it done this weekend.

@Dynamo Frokane "I agreed to do this because I was in a desperate situation, I thought this was just for research, why do you insist on pushing your luck with such dangerous artifacts?"

Kinda hard to read with how dark it is. Any lighter purples? :3

@Delta44

It shall be written, it shall be done :D

[Dolerman]

@Dynamo Frokane

This looks really cool! A bit different from the RPs I usually do but I'm definitely plenty interested in giving it a go.

From what I can tell, it looks like Cold Blood, Bloodlines, Drowned Gallows and Hell on Earth are the available decks? Anyway, I'll do my best to get a character submitted by Saturday night if you'll have me. Already getting ideas~

@Riegal

Looking forward to your cs! What ring and deck are you going for?

[Riegal]

@Dynamo Frokane

I think it's going to have to be the Red ring and Hell on Earth for the deck if both are available. Dragoons and Hammers are too cool, and so is Ryuji the Oni.

I'll have my CS up for review tomorrow. Exhausted at the moment so I can't quite finish it zzz

[Stern Algorithm]

@Dynamo Frokane Sorry for the delay, boss. I'll try to get a post up tomorrow, but I may not have time, but definitely by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Feel free to let me know how you'd like Rana to be contacted so I can build that into my post do she can show up with the others without too much back-and-forth.

Sure, Rana got an email from Nishikii about the situation!

@Riegal

[Dolerman]

@Strange Rodent@Delta44

I think you both know whats coming..

EDIT: follow the link into the dueling thread, its separate as to not clutter the IC.

Some example battles from the beta testing stage

[Dolerman]

@OppositionJ still with us oppy?

[Opposition]

@Dynamo Frokane Yeah, I was a idling a bit, unsure if I would have fit well in this RP, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I can probably get a character done today. I'm a bit confused as to what options are taken. What decks are still available?

Two days later than I had originally planned, but here she is for judgement~

Shoko Ueda

Name: Shoko Ueda
Age: 16
Time in Shumi: 3 months
Nationality: Japanese

---

[PERSONALITY]
Shoko naturally comes off as a 'queen-bee' kind of girl, thanks mainly to her looks and the fact that she generally seems to lack much care for others. Despite this, she's actually surprisingly awkward. Her interests her entire life have been on the geeky side of things, clashing strongly with the first impression most get of her, and leading to many less than fantastic school memories. While she tends to keep to herself because of these past experiences, once she's gotten an impression that she's not really being judged (like at local meet up for TCGs and the like), she's more than happy to open up, revealing a genuine and earnest girl who is prone to moments of 'adorkableness' once she gets wrapped up in an activity. In contrast, her fiery and intense competitive nature also surfaces, revealing an unbelievably stubborn and focused scrapper. Sometimes these two sides of her trip over each other, usually leading to regret and intense embarrassment for Shoko. It's not uncommon for her to blush, and it shows clear as day on her skin.

[HOBBIES & INTERESTS]
Shoko has an obvious great interest in card games, being fairly successful at them--winning locals for whichever game she signed up for was an expectation, as were good placings at regional and occasionally even national-level tournaments. She has playmats for the two World Championships she's been to, which she very much enjoys showing off.

Along with TCGs, Shoko is inclined to enjoy anything that offers her an outlet for her competitive nature. A big one of these is video games, specifically in the Fighting and Real-time Strategy genres. She also enjoys speedrunning certain games.

On the more artistic side of things, Shoko enjoys both cosplaying (often at TCG tournaments as a popular character from the game) and model building (usually models of mechas, because she's pretty into giant robots. Giant robots are cool).

[BIOGRAPHY]
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Shoko has never been a stranger to bright lights and non-stop entertainment--and that's not something she'd have any other way. The thought of living somewhere rural where she would be unable to find people who share who interests makes her shudder. Her parents are both rather wealthy business-types in the entertainment industry, which allowed the girl to explore her (often expensive) hobbies fully, which she's always grateful for. In response, Shoko began to care for the house from a young age so that her always busy parents did not have to. As such, she's become adept at cleaning and cooking, among other things. On top of that, to do what she could to pay for her own hobbies, at the age of fourteen she began working part-time at one of the local hobby shops she frequented, which suited her well because 90% of the time she was just partaking in her interests anyway. Her parent's connections, and the fact that she was an extremely valued customer at the store definitely helped her get the job, perhaps a bit unfairly, but she proved in no time to be a perfect fit.

Her parent's positions eventually caused the family to relocate to Shumi Island, which was both exciting and disheartning for Shoko. Shumi Island was a haven for someone like her, but at the same time she no longer had the job she loved and no longer saw the same familiar faces she had seen for sixteen years.

She transferred into Catalyst Academy, and has been having some trouble fitting in--it's high school, she's kind of awkward, and this is her first time experiencing such a change in scenery. At least it's about as bustling as Tokyo.

Thats a top tier waifu you have there!

Approved! You can start on your IC right away, Nishikii has let Ueda know about her dream and the rings by letter.

[Opposition]

There we go! I was very indecisive for a while, but she shall suffice!

Stella Soleil

Stella Soleil

Name:
Stella Soleil

Age:
16

Time in Shibuya:
3 Months

Nationality:
French

Personality:

Most would describe Stella as being in a state of eternal conflict. There’s always something malign in her life. As such, she finds herself making her way through life with great apprehension. While there is a touch of Stella’s personality that yearns for adventure, openness, and soulfulness, she always has managed to keep to herself. Perhaps it is fear that stops her from leaving her shell, but no matter its cause, the effect of such a defining trait is evident in Stella’s interactions with others. She may come off as close-minded, but truthfully she simply struggles to pursue that which she truly values. Indecisiveness is commonplace in Stella’s daily life, binding her from accomplishing what she may want. While she may know who she wants to be, Stella seems resigned to the fact that she will never be that person.

Getting past the facade of an empty shell may be hard, but if another person was to truly befriend Stella, they would see a host of dynamic traits that make her uniquely special in her own right. Because she isn’t prone to trying new things, slightly anxious fears and naivety are ingrained in her every action hidden deep beneath the facade of being perfectly put together. Stella has always been hellbent on results, often either giving up or fighting to hell and back to get the end product she wants.

Hobbies & Interests:

Stella has always been an artist of sorts and in turn, she has always been drawn to other mediums of art. While mostly mediocre in all artistic disciplines, there was one style of writing that Stella managed to practice to adequacy: Poetry. Over time she has become quite the wordsmith, but such a talent remains her’s alone. She finds herself hiding the skill from all those around her, too embarrassed to share her creations.

Like most of the other residents of Shumi Island, Stella has something of a fascination for gaming in all its forms. While she never became too impressively skilled in the art of playing games, she has always been interested in playing nonetheless. In her vast experiences, Stella has uncovered one fact that seems to remain true above all else in the world, and that fact is that she is awful at games. No amount of practice put into competitive games has seemed to change that fact. Stella has found her style of play so vastly different from common tactical displays that it borders on inviability. But who knows? Maybe she just hasn’t found her game yet.

Bio:

Stella certainly had a slightly unique set of circumstances in her early life. Having been born to two extremely adventurous souls, Stella had a lot to live up to. Her parents both spent the former half of their lives as foreign aid workers. Stella, despite her young age, has always felt compelled to try and live up to them despite the impossibility of the idea as it stands. Growing up, Stella wasn’t the most well liked and she spent most of her child with very few friends. This was made even worse due to the constant moving of her family. After a simple split in her parents’ marriage, Stella found herself in a limbo between following her mother travelling around the globe again, and staying at her father’s side in their hometown. Of course, the easiest solution to this split life was forced onto her by her parents when they offered to send her to school wherever she pleased. At a loss with the world and wanting to start completely fresh, Stella aimed for Shumi Island in hopes the bustling way of life would help turn her luck around.

Sorry I haven't posted yet, but life has been super kicking my rear the last few days. I'll definitely have something up tomorrow, though.

[Dolerman]

@Dynamo Frokane Okay, cool. I'll try to get it done this weekend.

@Raging Fenrir

Still with us, Fen?

@OppositionJ @Riegal@rawkhawk64@Raging Fenrirjust so you are all aware Delta and Rodent are duelling in this thread Here

@Dynamo Frokane

Wait. I mentioned that Rana left her cards at home. Does it not matter? I suppose they get teleported to another world, so I guess the cards could teleport as well.

[Dolerman]

@Stern Algorithm maybe you could just edit that so they are with her? All ring bearers have a very close connection to their cards so they keep them nearby when they can.
