Fanged Lizards are a reptilian monster with potent venom. When injected via a bite, it acts as a neurotoxin to paralyze the prey. When exposed to the air, it becomes a highly acidic liquid. The lizard can spit at a distance. Lizards will sometimes roam in packs of family units, but only until the young can hunt on their own, compared to Dire Rats often found in the same ecosystem.

Cave Goblin Tribe

Boss

Name:
Crispy
Gender:
Male
Age: 4
Species:
Flame-Touched Goblin
Appearance:
"At some point this Goblin had been burned--severely. One of his eyes had gone completely white, and the bubbly, purplish skin on that half of his face stretched down his neck, winding along one shoulder and then spreading across his chest like gnarled roots or infected veins. But then, around the edges of that scar tissue where it should have healed the most and faded back to green...instead, it was a bright, fiery red. Like a tattoo--despite there being nothing from which to make ink in these caves."

Goblins stand between three and three-and-a-half feet tall on average, and while their physical strength isn't to be underestimated, they are much like human children. However, their natural cunning and viciousness is far more vile, and while they can use tools they have a limited intelligence. They tend to form savage tribes with little in common save for the constant drive to survive, and a lack of emotional control that causes them to do whatever they feel necessary to satisfy any primal craving they happen to feel at any given moment. They aren't typically capable of long-term planning and have difficulty with abstract concepts. Crispy is longer lived and more accomplished than most Goblins.

Goals:
MORE FIRE
"Fire is the strongest thing. Burn me, burn Rattle, burn Ventures...maybe even burn whole world."
"Make safe place for Gobs, steals from Human Farm."

Abilities:
LEVEL 7
Use Light Equipment - Starting Goblin Skill

Fireball II - A ball of flame that appears in the hand. In Crispy's case, this Skill was learned by an understanding of fire, the Flame Touched Variance, and personal effort. He has recently upgraded it to rank II, granting it a small explosive burst. It can inflict a burn on a target.

Flame-touched - Variant. Crispy once fell into a fire and was nearly killed. After experiencing a long period of intense agony, then making a full recovery, he realized the strength of flame and aspired to harness it for himself. As burned flesh grew anew, he gained this Variance, and his scars turned into a true mark of fire...

Fire Resistance IV - Crispy has a great deal of experience being burned and experimenting with crafting fire, gaining a high resistance to its heat.

Poison Resistance I - Crispy's resistances were short lived against multiple attacks, implying that his Poison Resistance isn't greatly advanced. However, he has still survived several confrontations at this point...

Crafting III - (I) Your knowledge and understanding of mechanics, workmanship, and other such things enable you to craft better items. The process of creating many items is still an unknown to you, but if you ever succeed in such a creation its Sub-Stat Enhancements will be higher than normal. (II) Crafting Complexity Increased. Stamina Requirement Decreased. (III) You can now craft more complex objects with a single moving part (like a flail or a wheel) more easily. Stamina usage from crafting decreased. Sub-stat Enhancements of items crafted from this point on are increased, but items previously made are still the same.

Intimidate I - Your force of personality has become semi-magical in and of itself. When demonstrating your power or anger, you appear more threatening to those weaker than yourself. You may be more capable to force them to do what you want.

Magic Resistance I - Magic damage from lower level spells is reduced, regardless of its element. Whenever you gain Elemental Resistances, their threshold will be used first before Magic Resistance is activated. Obtaining at least one level of all Elemental Resistances will cause Skill Synergy and automatically increase Magic Resistance by one rank.

Jezee

Name:
Jezee Kah
Gender:
Female
Age:
10 days
Species:
Goblin
Appearance:
Smaller and more feminine than the majority of the other goblins, Jezee has the longest hair of the goblins. It's a dull, dead color like the red of fallen pine needles, and due to lack of hygene practice it's got the same texture too. She's managed to pull it back out of her eyes with a bit of vine and a generous application of spit, tying it into a rough ponytail.
Goals:
J-just wanna n-not be in danger all da times...
Abilities:
LEVEL 1
Use Light Equipment - Starting Goblin Skill
Keen Sight I - Expend stamina to increase the range and clarity of physical sight. Jezee was made to carry a torch during the goblin raid, and as such had to peer into every dark corner while hoping everyone else would somehow manage to protect her. At least all that eye strain counted for something.

Appearance:
Clod is about average in height for a goblin, but stands up straight and tends to be more confident and adventurous than the others. However, he goes along with orders easily and doesn't talk as much as the others in most cases. He's the only male goblin we've met thus far to have hair--two spiky tufts poking out just above the center of his forehead. They're the color of dry yellow straw, and just as rough and coarse.
Goals:

Abilities:

[Kazemitsu]

Name: Asura

Theme: youtube.com/watch?v=vR18NP-acL4

Gender: Male? I'm a slime...no genitals. I think...

Species:
Slime > Amorphous Slime

Appearance:

A fluctuating red and orange colored slime that would probably fill a five gallon bucket. It's genuinely difficult to tell where he's looking unless he "generates" a head with limited facial features.

Goals: The world is vast and new. I want to see it and hopefully not get killed by some idiot newbie with a stick sword.

Past Life:
Asura's past life he only had a few things that stood out. He worked for the city he lived in. Doing things like mending roads, removing trees, cleaning up debris from storms, fixing waterlines and sewage, installing signs and various lights. He's sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to work. Thankfully he wasn't high enough in the chain to be forced to do loathsome paperwork. While not at work he was doing one of three things. Playing video games, namely western styled rpg's with the occasional slice of life genre. Busting his ass at the gym to keep a general strong body. The gym led to the third aspect of his life, boxing. He loved boxing even if he never went pro. His naturally high pain tolerance stacked with building it up higher through training let him dominate local challenges. Despite being a healthy guy and working hard he still died fairly young. He honestly doesn't remember how it happened but he figured it's most likely work related.

Abilities:

• Physical Damage Resistance I - Lowers physical damage taken by a little bit. (A bundle skill applying to all three types, Blunt, Slash, and Pierce)
• Blunt Damage Resistance I - Lowers Blunt based damage taken by a little bit.
• Piercing Damage Resistance I - Lowers Piercing based damage taken by a little.
• Magic Resistance I - Magic damage from lower level spells is reduced, regardless of its element. Whenever you gain Elemental Resistances, their threshold will be used first before Magic Resistance is activated. Obtaining at least one level of all Elemental Resistances will cause Skill Synergy and automatically increase Magic Resistance by one rank.
  [Earth Resistance I - Take less damage from Earth and Earth Elemental Magic. If all other Elemental Resistances are acquired, this will also increase the rank of Magic Resistance.
• Limited Shapeshift IV - Two properties of your body, not including color, temperature, or base material, can now be altered in the same manner outlined at Rank III. Unlike Rank III, these properties can be maintained simultaneously. Your body, or an extension, could become Sharp AND Hard, or gain a Texture while maintaining another property. Your ability to shift fine details with your base form is increased. The ability to shift fine details with extended forms, such as pseudopods, is now the same as the details on the base form from Rank III. If you alter only one property of a form, such as Sharpness, that property is greater than it was at Rank III. Your maximum reach with extensions remains the same. Forms that are most commonly used or associated with earlier Ranks now cost less Stamina to maintain. Your maximum "reach" with stretched portions of your body remains the same. While maintaining your original mass your ability to alter fine details is increased. A "blade" made from your body could be shaped in various ways, for instance, but a pseudopod with a blade at its tip would not be so refined; this would apply to other features like imitated body parts or facial traits.
• Stamina Furnace I - A form of physical and mental cultivation akin to meditation. Similar to concentrating on the beat of one’s heart to calm it, you have accelerated the rate of physical recovery. Expend Mana to restore Stamina. This effect is increased if you have recently eaten, as it speeds up digestion--however, this may require larger amounts of food
• Blood Drain I - Through physical contact with whatever body part or orifice the user needs to eat and drink, drain the target's blood through an already open wound. In addition to dealing damage, this skill also restores the user's HP. The amount of HP restored will not be the same as the amount of damage dealt or the same as the amount of blood consumed. Any disease, poison, or other danger contained within the target's blood may also present a threat to this skill's user. At this rank the user is limited in how much blood they can drain and how quickly, as well as the target's defense, healing factor, and other circumstances.
• Cling I - As a Slime you are naturally suited to sticking to objects. By expending stamina, you cling to any surface and are able to climb or stick upon it. At this rank, the type and texture of the surface will change the skill's effectiveness. At this rank, you are much slower when moving on objects while clinging. At this rank, this skill cannot be used save to climb or stick to surfaces.
• Faster I - Your base physical speed is increased! By gaining the skills Harder, Better, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning.
• Harder I - You have toughened yourself up through training! Clenched muscles or hardened flesh can be an effective shield--your base defensive stats increase! By gaining at least one rank in Faster, Stronger, and Better, Skill Synergy will occur to increase the rank of Physical Conditioning.
• Dextrous I : Your practice with fine manipulation and using your pseudopods has earned an unusual skill for your species! Your body can now be used to more effectively manipulate small objects and tools, though you still aren’t strong enough yet to “wield” weapons or pick up very large things without other Skills.
• Slime Whip I - A unique ability for slimes. Create a sturdy tendril from a pseudopod and lash out at the enemy. At this rank, your range of reach is 5 feet. -Skill Synergy- You possess Limited Shapeshift III. Range is increased to 10 feet and adding a shifted blade, bludgeon, etc to your Whip is more effective.
• Throw Item I - Using an item from your inventory, you hurl it at the opponent by expending Stamina. Different items may have different effects and some are more suited than others as projectile weapons. At this rank, the chance to destroy the thrown item is very high. Damage type depends on the item.
• Smash II - A Physical Skill that consumes Stamina instead of MP. One blunt type attack deals increased damage! Damage buff increased. Stamina drain increased. Using a non-blunt type attack can now trigger this skill, but its power will be halved.
• Slash I - A Physical Skill that uses Stamina instead of MP. A single Slashing type attack becomes more powerful!
• Skewer I - A Physical Skill that uses Stamina instead of MP. A single Piercing type attack becomes more powerful!
• Rabid Fit I - Fly into a mindless rage, and destroy the enemy! A sudden burst of fury grants you increased strength and damage, but you’ll become more vulnerable to damage yourself.
• Overwork I - Push through, break the limit, and--probably need a nap later. When you really need it, you’re able to summon up just that little extra bit of power, at the cost of slowly stressing yourself to death.
• Skill Synergy: Rabit Fit I, Overwork I, Smash II. Your attack's power is vastly increased!

Ah...I wonder, could I be jealous of others and their happier lives?

Gender:

Female

Species:

Adolescent Mystic Winged Kobold

Current level:

10

---

Appearance:

Former Fanged Lizard

Like most monsters of her level, small, not too threatening looking, and overall not very impressive. Ash is a fairly typical Fanged Lizard, about as big and long as an average human arm - resembling what we might call a Gila Monster. Most of her body is covered in black scales, with little coloring to be seen aside from a few splotches of dark green covering her hide on her sides, legs, and underbelly. She does however, have a few easily identifiable markings from other Fanged Lizards, carrying a few outstanding physical identifiers. Most notable would be the thin, vibrant but dark purple stripes she has running from the end of her nose along her back to the tip of her tail. Her lizard like eyes, are a vibrant green

Former Pygmy Drake

As a Pygmy drake, essentially a small dragon. Larger in size than a Fanged lizards, with functional wings able to glide short distances and fly at a walking pace. Her tail has lengthened and become more flexible, with a stinger at the end of it able to deliver venom and poison she has grown somewhat used to using. Her scales are still an ash grey in color, with a stripe of dark purple running from under her eyes towards the end of her tail with still vibrant green eyes

As a Winged Kobold, Ash is comparable in size to a goblin. Bipedal, with a slight crouch to her frame due to her legs. Overall, she has a feminine body shape with scales still ash grey in color. Powerful wings extend from her back, capable of low powered flight. Her head, resembled that of a lizard still, with small horns protruding outwards along her skull. Overall, she had a skinny and lithe frame with vibrant green eyes still observing the world around her with keen interest. Of note, the dark purple markings on her scale have turned into purple, mystical curved tattoos upon her scales reminiscent of various alchemical and astrological symbols.

Has a tendency to watch things instead of engaging in fights or otherwise exert physical activity, preferring to boss others around or talk her way out of problems.



Goals:

-Research new chemicals and such in this world, and use that knowledge to better her own position.
-Too little information to work on. Perhaps she'll take it easy and not overwork herself to near-death like last time? She has little interest in helping people.

Past Life:

Ashlyn, is a product of a wealthy upbringing and near perfect education. A typical story of a perfect kid burning themselves out and going a bit off the deep end.

Born in a large city in the United States, she had one of the best damn lives anyone could have hoped for growing up. She was born into a family of doctors, scientists, and other such people who had been such for generations and were quite proud of their lineage. Intellectuals, philosophers - the Elite of the elite, some might say. A little pompous, haughty, and self-serving as well, but such is the nature of human beings if one would ask her.

Ash was expected to be no exception. From the moment she was born she was made to study, go to the best schools, eat healthily, etc. Things such as that. Her parents were fairly controlling of how she was supposed to be, affording her very little leisure time. A lonely existence, that perhaps jaded her a little growing up since the word 'friend' was something fairly foreign to her. Even so, she worked tirelessly to better her academic studies in all fields. For most of her early life, she didn't question this. She pursued knowledge simply for the sake of knowledge, even if she ended up almost shunning everyone but her parents and immediate family. She worked hard, winning several awards in her school district in a number of academic areas. Maths, sciences, and literature areas. It was during a party her parents planned for this little victory of hers, did she realize something.

She was exhausted.

Not Physically - mentally. Almost as if her brain had decided to take a vacation without warning, and she began to question a few things. Most notably - why she was trying so hard. She had never given it a thought before - why she was doing anything. She just did as she was told by her parents without a care, question, or heed to what she herself wanted. Typical things any kids asked themselves, really - but it perhaps affected her harder than others.

Depression is a nasty thing.

She became mildly obsessed with her appearance, preferring to spend days excessively applying, removing, and then reapplying make-up, visiting beauty salons and almost neurotically trying to find something anything that made her feel something other than complete and utter apathy towards everything. She never got into drugs or stuff like that of course - she was smarter than that and valued her intellect above anything else. Drugs would only hurt that. Of course, she tried not to let this this lack of interest to affect her grades.

The rest of her life wasn't any better. She spent most of it just coasting through, taking each day as they came, not really doing much else from her work at a pharmaceutical companies research division. She spent most of her time playing with deadly chemicals and seeing exactly how the interacted with living, organic tissue - not that no one ever found out about that little morbid curiosity of hers. Never married, or really had any personal relationships.

In the end, she died alone at the age of fifty seven from work related stress, never really living a very exciting or what one would call a 'fulfilling' life.

When she was offered a second chance of life, she was skeptical at first. Demon lord? Living again? What sort of ridiculous statement was that? That said...she had never really been one to change the course of her own life. Perhaps she could change that here? She had an extensive knowledge of chemicals, how they reacted with others...perhaps that could be put to use here?

Well, why not? No need to start arguing with people just yet, heh. She accepted the deal without hesitation.

Abilities

Analyticals

Magic Analysis III

Gain more detail about observed magic skills, objects, etc. Lose less effectiveness when using this skill on other things, even if they aren’t magically inclined. When analyzing a spell you have seen at least one time before, you may learn information such as its element or function depending on various factors.

Monster Analysis II

Gain basic biological information about a monster by actively observing it. At level two, gain more information about Monsters. Other analysis skills will further boost the information this skill provides, such as a creature’s capability with magic or its equipment.

Material Analysis II

Your growing familiarity with various materials allows you to pick up more details about objects and may even bring up a subconscious recognition of what Craftable Objects might be the most suitable for a given item, compared to your own experience with any items you have crafted. You will also be able to more accurately compare different materials to one another.

Plant Analysis I

Basic field knowledge of botany. At this rank, using this skill only grants you “generalized” information.

Alchemy II

- Sodium and water go boom. Bleach and vinegar is a warcrime. The knowledge of basic, non-magical chemical science from your past life gives you an edge in figuring out effective alchemical uses. Allows one to have a basic understanding of how well things alchemically react, but not much else. See more detailed qualities of items, less effectiveness is lost during combinations at level II (past life skill)

Fusion Skill [Analysis]

A Fusion Skill is not a true skill by itself, but a sort of shortcut. You have acquired Monster, Magic, Plant, and Material Analysis skills. By activating [Analysis] you will use all of these skills at once without as much mental effort. [Analysis] will not go up in Rank, but its effectiveness will increase if the Skills used for Fusion are increased. However, if only Analysis is used, the growth of the individual skills will not be as fast.

Mana Vision II

MP Cost reduced. Stamina cost reduced. Concentrate MP in your eyes to see the fluctuations of Mana. The level of detail and other qualities of your Mana Vision depend not only on the Rank of this Skill, but also on your physical sense of sight. Depending on the strength of your concentration, having a lesser sense of vision may also consume Stamina when using this Skill. At your current Rank, you can only see strange fluctations of magic energies and shapes that are not easily understood...

Mana Sense I

You have sharpened our mental and spiritual senses! By focusing upon a single creature or object, you will be able to sense its magical nature in some fashion. Different creatures may perceive this in different ways--some may see a colored aura, others may catch unique scents, etc. This is not an Analysis skill, though it may synergize with some of them. The range of this skill is limited to that of your other physical senses, though in some cases a mana signature may become easier or more difficult to detect depending on factors such as strength, amount, etc. By touching an object or creature, even if they are somehow suppressing their magical power, you have a chance to learn whether or not magic is present. At this rank you must activate this skill in order for it to take effect. While active it will consume MP.

Supports

Charisma I

- Like other charismatic skills, your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You’ll have greater luck convincing others to go along with your suggestions, but only within their own natural reasoning. This skill may not work on those with stronger Wills.

Intimidate I

Your force of personality has become semi-magical in and of itself. When demonstrating your power or anger, you appear more threatening to those weaker than yourself. You may be more capable to force them to do what you want.

Crafting I

You may craft very simple items from simple materials. Your knowledge and understanding of mechanics, workmanship, and other such things enable you to craft better items. The process of creating many items is still an unknown to you, but if you ever succeed in such a creation its Sub-Stat Enhancements will be higher than normal. NOTE: Your species is unsuited to this Skill.

Lesser Force II

MP Consumption decreased. Range slightly increased. Force strength slightly increased. Rather than more powerful, it would be more accurate to say this skill is now more efficient.

Muffle I

This skill grants you the ability to be just a little bit better at being stealthy, with a focus on reducing the sound of your movements.

Lesser Flight I

This Skill allows for flight over short distances at a "walking" pace. Carrying objects is difficult. This skill relies on one's physical ability to fly with Wings or some other form of propulsion.

Alert I

Though this skill is limited by the strength of your senses, and does not sharpen your senses on its own, it allows you to become more aware of your surroundings. Without conscious effort, you will pick up on signs in your environment more easily, especially if they present some form of danger to you. Essentially this is an anti-ambush skill.

Meditate II

Increase the amount of Mana recovered. Low background noises, movements will no longer decrease the effectiveness of this skill so long as the user maintains stillness and a calm state of mind. This skill still cannot be used while moving or in the midst of battle. This skill cannot be used in conjunction with other Active skills.

Tremor Sense I

You can feel vibrations through the earth within a 30 foot radius or so around you, whether they be footsteps, tunneling creatures, etc. You have already learned through your previous experimentation that you can also produce these vibrations to a very limited degree. This skill has to be Activated at this rank.

Mental Resistance I

Take less damage from Psychic-type spells or skills, and have a better chance of resisting mind-altering effects such as Confusion or Hypnosis. This counts as an Elemental resistance for the purposes of Magic Resistance.

Sensory Resistance I

You have a lower chance to be afflicted by status effects that distort the senses such as Blindness or Deafness. -Under some circumstances this ability may synergize with other resistances-

Prehensile Tail (--)

Your tail has developed enough muscle and coordination that you can use it as if it were a fully functional limb--minus fingers and toes of course. Any stats, skills, items, spells, etc that could be used or applied by your limbs can, with a few exceptions, also be used by your tail.

Mana Shape I

You can shape your raw Mana into the appearance of something. At this rank, your Mana does not have weight, force, or other physical qualities. Your Mana cannot produce sounds. Your Mana cannot move freely. Your mana can have its color changed. Your shapes must be relatively simple with no moving parts. The shape cannot be held for long without more MP.

Dual Cast I

Splitting one's focus is a difficult task, but like playing the drums it can be learned. Casting different spells with different effects or requirements increases the difficulty and the MP required, but the caster's mindset can also affect this Skill. A Caster at this Rank may Dual Cast by: (1) Cast the same spell simultaneously, usually within two hands. Example using Current Skills: Fireball. This expends twice the MP cost, and both versions of the spell must be the same Rank, but the Casting time is only that of a single cast.(2) Prepare two spells simultaneously, to be used one at a time. Example using Known Skills: Digbie's Rock Spire and your Fireball. Rock Spire is prepared but not cast; the Earth Mana shines under the targeted area. Fireball is cast at a target, knocking it into Rock Spire's prepared area. Rock Spire is released. Both spells can be no higher than Rank I. Delayed Spells can be held no longer than 10 seconds at this rank. Certain spells that might require rituals, components, or other complexities might not be Dual Cast in this manner even at Rank I. This use consumes twice the MP for a Delayed Spell plus the normal MP cost for the other spell. (3) Cast a single instance of two different spells, usually within two hands. Example using Known Skills: Your Fireball and Ash's Mana Slice. You cast Fireball at a target to your right and Mana Slice at a target to your left, at the same time. This usage expends the sum of both spells' MP cost, and requires a slightly longer casting time, but both spells can be used at the same time or one after the other. Both spells must be Rank I. Certain spells with more complexities may not be Dual Cast even at Rank I. Certain spells that synergize well may increase in power or cause new effects when Dual Cast in this way.

Stronger I

You have grown stronger through tough training! Tear muscles down, and rebuild them anew! Your physical power stats have increased! By gaining at least one rank of Faster, Harder, and Better, Skill Synergy will occurr and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning.

Mana Control I

Your precise control over the flow of your own Mana has increased. You cannot change the base nature of a Spell Skill unless you have another Magic Alteration type Skill such as Focus or Spell Chant. However, Spell Interference from enemies is lessened, and your ability to maintain a spell or use it in an unorthodox fashion is less likely to fail. Learning a new Spell based on an already known one is less difficult.

Memor Eyes I

By expending a flash of Mana, you burn an image into your mind in a limited form of eidetic memory. This image can be recalled at any time with far more clarity than the greatest artist's sketch, and certain other skills--such as a form of Analysis--can be used on the image as if they had been used at the moment the user actually saw the event. At this Rank, only 1 image can be stored in the user's memory at a time. At this Rank, the stored image can only consist of a singular instant in time and cannot be linked to other memories. These images can be read by or transferred to others using certain mental magics--sometimes against the memory holder's will.

Buffs

Overwork III:

Stamina consumption remains the same as rank II. Self-Buff has increased. When Stamina is fully consumed, this Skill will remain active by sacrificing HP automatically. It will replace HP Drain, but its HP consumption is higher than a normal HP Drain. It will automatically deactivate if the user has only 1 HP remaining.

Shield I

The most basic of defensive support spells. An aura effect reduces incoming damage, but no physical barrier or counteractive forces are generated. Only natural resistances to damage are reinforced. Can be cast on objects.

Rabid Fit I

Fly into a mindless rage, and destroy the enemy! A sudden burst of fury grants you increased strength and damage, but you’ll become more vulnerable to damage yourself. This skill has not been activated yet.

Minor Heal I

The most basic of healing spells. In most cases, only surface level wounds are affected. Cannot cure diseases. May even accelerate certain conditions not healed by the body's natural recovery. Cast upon a single target within eyesight.

Focus I

By spending at least 30 seconds focusing before using an offensive Skill or Spell, you can increase its damage or range. At this rank it is comparable to increasing the power by one rank (eg Mana Orb I to Mana Orb II) while also increasing the MP cost by half again (spend 1.5x Mana Orb I's cost).

Offensive Abilities

Stun Fang II

- This Skill releases a paralyzing toxin into the opponent's body through a bite.

Poison Spit II

- This Skill sprays an acidic venom, but despite using the term "spray" it is more like a concentrated stream, compared to spitting water from one's mouth. It has no AoE effect.

Venom Shot II

- A smaller, more concentrated shot of poison. Faster than Poison Spit, Less Damaging, Greater Chance to Poison, Longer Range. Damage and Penetration increased.

Poison Glob I

Compare to Poison Spit/Spray: Projectile speed decreased. Projectile range slightly decreased. Acid Damage increased. Stamina consumption equal. Chance to inflict Poison equal.

Poison Breath I

-Though your poison gland is now located in your tail, your draconic physiology is specifically suited for breath weapons. This has also increased your Dragon Affinity.- Whether by magic or biology, produce fumes projected from the mouth. This skill deals very low acidic damage and has a lower chance to poison an enemy than most other poison-type skills due to its lower density, but is ranged and covers a small area of effect. The fumes have a small chance to linger in the effected area for a short time.

Mana Orb II

A simple blast of Energy elemental magic with a range of 30 feet. At the moment it only does as much damage as a strong punch on average, unless the enemy is weak to magic. As it gets stronger it becomes a generic, non-elemental energy blast. Due to its simple nature and lack of elemental properties the Mana Orb spell is easily malleable into other spell forms. Magic Damage Increased. MP Cost Increased.

Mana Slice I

A blade of magical energy made by shaping a normal Mana Orb to have an edge. It uses more MP but does Slashing damage and is generally faster.

Poison Splash I

Much like other elemental spells collecting trace elements, surrounding impurities and toxins are synthesized with Mana as a catalyst to produce this sphere of liquid poison. Upon impact, it splashes for a small Area of Effect. It may poison an organic target, and deals corrosive damage to most objects.

Poison Slash I

A Poisonous equivalent to Mana Slice. Though it has a lower chance to poison the target compared to other poison attacks, in addition to the dual acid-poison damage types it also deal slashing damage to the target. --It is more effective on softer, fleshy targets, but unlike many other poison spells it can deal damage even to well defended enemies, rather than splashing against them with little effect.-- It has a higher speed than many other rank I spells but costs slightly more MP than Mana Slice.

Fireball I

The fire-themed version of a basic magical attack. With roughly the same power, range, and MP consumption as a Mana Orb, it has the unique property of being able to inflict a burn on the target. However, as an elemental spell, these same properties render it harder to use in certain circumstances. Non-flammable or elementally opposed targets, for example, will be much less effected.

Marc Nadler

Name:

Marc Nadler

Theme:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__6LaavwGWw

Gender:

Male

Species:

Dire Rat

Appearance:

Standing at most a foot and a half tall, Marc is easily identifiable from most Dire Rats due to his partial lack of fur - the skin appearing somewhat inflamed, almost as if he had mange. His teeth are slightly longer than most others, but this may be because he doesn't engage in gnawing, like most rodents. Marc's ears perk up whenever something interests him or he hears something dangerous. His hair is light gray, and his claws make a clicking sound on hard surfaces due to their length.

Despite his small size, his partial lack of fur makes it clear to see his powerful muscles. This, combined with his longer claws, make climbing especially easy. When fighting, he will foam slightly at the mouth.

Goals:

Improve the lives of everyone he meets, and to bring back his deceased wife

Past Life:

Marc Nadler was born in Mussoorie, India, to a rather middle class family - his father being a business man from Germany, and his mother being a caretaker. He had three older brothers and one older sister, and he was the youngest child. Despite relatively absent parents, Marc lived a relatively normal and happy childhood - he played for long hours, and while his father was occasionally harsh when it came to grades, Marc had a positive relationship with both parents. His days were spent studying, burning ants with magnifying glasses, and chasing the stray cats and dogs that infected his city. His favorite pastime was reading on the biology of animals he found interesting.

The first major event of Marc's life was when he encountered a deer on one of the rare excursions his father could afford from his work - they went on a camping trip into nearby forests, planning to spend the weekend in a tent. Marc was tasked with finding water, as his father proceeded to gather wood for the fire. It took nearly an hour of searching, but a stream was discovered - along with the pale and bloody form of a deer.

She was a doe, clearly no older than two, and most likely not a mother. She was bleeding heavily, flies were already beginning to surround her body, and her body heaved and rose raggedly, as if she was fighting for every breath. Near her hindquarters, it was easy to see that she was shot several times. She attempted to scramble away from Marc, but she was far too tired - she reluctantly remained still, fading in and out of consciousness. Marc desperately wanted to help the creature - maybe remove the bullet, patch the wound - but he simply stared. He made excuses, such as not having appropriate supplies or lacking any experience. But he stayed and watched as her breathing slowly dampened, from ragged heaves to eventual nonexistence. He remained for 20 minutes, before a strange man appeared from the woods, bearing a rifle. He greeted Marc kindly, thanking him for "finding his dinner" in the tone you always use when speaking with a child - Marc knew that the man meant him no harm.

The pair talked for several minutes, before Marc's father finally arrived, wondering what was taking so long. After brief introductions, his father and the hunter hit it off, with the hunter even offering to share the doe as long as they helped to dress it - Of course, Marc's father agreed. Marc spent a good 30 minutes helping the men clean out the doe, silent as could be. By thet ime they were done, Marc's father insisted on cooking, and soon the trio were having an excellent meal. In the middle of the night, Marc would vomit up the meat he had eaten, after a vivid nightmare of the doe.

Ever since the incident, Marc became somewhat distant - he still cared for his family and friends, and always offered to help people whenever they needed anything. He simply grew less willing to share his thoughts - He got more serious when it counted, his voice grew more monotone as he stressed out. He still played outside with friends, but was sure to come home early to study. His grades dramatically rose, and he received a full ride scholarship to Stanford by the time he graduated high school. He moved to America, and his already proficient grasp on the English language grew to be near perfect, with only a slight accent. He graduated with honors, majoring in biology. He got a job as a veterinarian, married a nice woman, found a group of coworkers to watch hang out with on the weekends. He never had any children, as his wife was infertile. His personality remained the same - kind, gentle, but very serious when things were important.

The second major moment of his life was walking in on his wife sleeping with another man. Or, more specifically, how he murdered the two of them. Marc got home early, only to find his wife sleeping with a coworker of hers - Some guy she occasionally talked about on their monthly dates. Marc immediately seized a blunt object - which he later discovered to be the golf club he uses when playing with his coworkers, and he savagely beat both of them to death. The man took several swings to make sure he was gone, but Marc's wife was down in a single stroke. The last thing Marc saw of her was her heavy, ragged breathing - just like the doe that he had seen years ago.

Marc immediately turned himself in, devastated at what he had done. He had never considered himself a violent man, and he was racked with guilt at what he had done. After only a week in custody, he had committed suicide, dying at 66 years old. Next thing he knew, he was being reborn into another world - and after listening to this "Demon king" explain everything, Marc realized this was a second chance. God, Buddha, somebody realized that he made a mistake, and was giving him a do over. A chance to set things right - If the demon king was to be trusted, then maybe he could bring back his wife! Reading over his choices, Marc picked the most familiar of the options - the Dire rat. Far larger than any he had ever seen in his old life, but the most familiar of the available options.

Abilities:

Beast Senses I - A bundle skill applying to all physical senses. Gained from Birth as a Dire Rat

Monster Analysis I - Flat teeth indicate herbivore, binocular vision implies a predator or gatherer. Your past as a veterinarian and biologist allows you to analyze animals and monsters, even those you’ve never seen before. Skill gained from Previous life.

Rabid Fit I - Fly into a mindless rage, and destroy the enemy! A sudden burst of fury grants you increased strength and damage, but you’ll become more vulnerable to damage yourself. Skill gained from Previous life.

Usually for fun they would sing alot. Sometimes related to situations sometimes not. Peter also practiced lucid dreaming. To help him escape from reality sometimes and just have a good time. He didnt get technology at all from living away from it for so long. Eventually the goverment found them and killed them. When the demon king gave this offer he was happy to take it.

Even with the current lack of genitalia (which will hopefully change in the future) due to being a SLIME, Jason still happens to be a Male.

Species:

(Immature) Stone-Hardened SLIME MAGE

Appearance:

"A thin layer began to peel off of Jason's body, until it had formed a thin flap of nothing but the slime's membrane that now waved freely anytime there was a breeze. Then, a section of his "skin" began to swell outwards, towards what would have been the top of his "head," until a sort of brim surrounded his top half. Then the very very top of his gelatinous body became more rigid and also began to swell, coming to a conical point. Jason now looked just a smidge bigger than he had been before...and had the appearance of wearing a wizard's hat and cape made out of his own jelly-skin.

Then, with a sudden rumbling from deep within the slime's gut, a "core" within him lit up the color of raw gold ore. This orb exploded in a bright flash of light, sending golden colored "veins" that almost looked like cracks in glazed pottery throughout Jason's body. From either side of his conical "hat," two actual clusters of something like gray stone erupted as if they had just spontaneously generated there."

Jason just wants to kick ass and take names, other than that, he just wants to take over everything, as he is a bit of a control freak.

Past Life:

In his past life, Jason was an African malitia soldier that eventually earned the title of warlord. Upon earning such a title, Jason began to change, he began to see so many problems, ones only HE could fix, and so he would, he just needed more control. Every other warlord, they held Jason back, while they still had power, HE could never succeed. Everything had to be under Jason's control, it was for the good of all, only JASON could make the world right, HE HAD, TO MAKE IT RIGHT. If it wasn't for that damned traitor lieutenant, he would've succeeded. He could've fixed it. As Jason drew his final breaths, tears fell from his eyes, all his good work was for naught, he just wanted to help everyone, why wouldn't they let him fix it?

Abilities:

---

Hider

• PHYS DMG RESIST I
• Warcry II
  
  - In your past life you were familiar with the horrors of war and the rallying of your soldiers. In the heat of battle, you can unleash an echoing roar of fury. At this rank, it might hurt someone’s ears, but its real effect is to cause enemies to focus on you for a short amount of time.

  II

  - Range of Effect increased. Enemies will focus their attention on you immediately. Very Low Chance to Intimidate enemies.
• Stone Shot II
  
  - You have learned to charge a piece of stone with your energy before hurling it at your opponent. This attack does blunt, piercing, and Earth-elemental magic damage. It consumes less MP than most spells, but requires ammunition.
  
  

  As an Active Spell Skill, you can use any rank of this Spell you possess. You can fire (3) shots max at Rank I, and (2) shots max with MP leftover at Rank II.
• Rock Spire II
  
  - A basic Earth-aligned spell. It deals more damage than most level one spells for the same MP cost, but requires that solid earth be within the user’s range of sight or perception. An earthen spike is created beneath the targeted area, object, or creature. Does Piercing and Earth Magic damage.
  

  II

  - MP Cost increased. Number of Spires increased to 3. Each spire does the same amount of damage and has the same range as before.
• Tremor Sense II
  
  - You can feel vibrations through the earth within a 30 foot radius or so around you, whether they be footsteps, tunneling creatures, etc. You have already learned through your previous experimentation that you can also produce these vibrations to a very limited degree.
  

  II

  - Range increased. Projection increased--now instead of passively sensing incoming vibrations, you can more strongly emit your own. This skill is weaker when passive, but when actively used you can perform a more detailed type of echolocation through solid, earthy materials.
• Soil Manipulation I
  
  - An Earth Elemental Magic Spell. At this Rank, you may move up to 5 pounds of loose soil (sand, dirt, and powdered minerals, but not gravel, pebbles, or anything made of larger fragments) freely within a 10 foot radius around your body. Using this soil to create a shape or exert a larger amount of force consumes more MP, and takes 30 seconds at minimum. At this rank, created shapes cannot consist of more than one part, or be more complex than quadrilateral structures. At this rank, created shapes cannot change the quality of the soil (sharper, harder, etc) nor its color or texture.
• Telepathy II
  
  - Channeling Mana through thoughts creates Psychic-type abilities. At Rank I, this skill can only be used when you are in physical contact with another creature. This skill can only send simple thoughts or emotions. This skill is currently only one-way transmission. This skill is an Active Non-Offensive Spell and consumes MP.
  

  II

  - MP consumption slightly increased. More complex thoughts and stronger emotions can be sent. One-way messages can be sent to a creature you have made contact with before as long as they are within 5 feet. When making physical contact with a creature, if they are willing they can send you a single return message.
• Material Analysis I
  
  - You may now analyze physical materials to learn their most basic physical characteristic
• Magic Analysis I
  
  - You may now analyze magical energies or objects to learn their most basic magical characteristics. Less effective on Materials and Monsters unless they are magical in nature.
• Monster Analysis I
  
  - You may now analyze Monsters and other living creatures to learn their most basic characteristics.
• Mental Resistance I
  
  - Take less damage from Psychic-type spells or skills, and have a better chance of resisting mind-altering effects such as Confusion or Hypnosis. This counts as an Elemental resistance for the purposes of Magic Resistance.
• Charisma I
  
  - Your force of personality is almost magical unto itself. You have a better chance of convincing others during negotiations, unless their Will is sufficiently strong.
• Limited Shapeshift I
  
  - By practicing the manipulation of your body, which Slimes are naturally predisposed for, you gained this skill. You cannot alter the total size, texture, or consistency of your body. You also cannot alter your body’s primary qualities--you cannot become “sharp” or “hard,” for example. At this level, complex structures are too difficult. But making yourself into a rolling sphere, a flat puddle, or shaping your pseudopods would all be possibilities, plus more. This skill consumes Stamina, not MP.
• Focus I
  
  - By spending at least 30 seconds focusing before using an offensive Skill or Spell, you can increase its damage. At this rank it is comparable to increasing the power by one rank (eg Mana Orb I to Mana Orb II) while also increasing the MP cost by half again (spend 1.5x Mana Orb I's cost).
• Mind Wave I
  
  - This spell uses a wave of psionic force to attack an opponent's mind directly. It may Confuse them temporarily. At this rank the spell requires eye-contact, and thus its range is limited by the user's eyesight. Its MP cost is slightly higher than that of most first level spells, but it is very difficult to dodge due to Psionic mana lacking many of the visually distinct characteristics of other spells.
• Spell Chant I
  
  I

  - Magic is the unison of Nature, Spirit, and Will. Language is the expression of Will. Using personalized language as an aid in manipulating one's energy is the first step to conceptualization and understanding of what Magic truly is. Using a previously existing Spell Skill as the Base, you may enact one (1) alteration of the spell's typical qualities. You possess the skill Focus, which allows a spell to increase either its power or range in return for increased MP cost of 50% of its initial value and delayed casting time of 30 seconds. Spell Chants will also delay casting time by a default of 10 seconds, as any chant shorter than this will be ineffective. Skill Synergy between this skill and Focus will allow you to alter Power/Range + One (1) other spell quality, which may include Power or Range a second time. The more complex the chant, the greater the alteration, but also the greater the increase to MP cost; by default the spell's cost is increased by a further 50% of its initial value.
• Bounce I
  
  - A unique skill to Slimes and certain other monsters. Upon taking an impact, the user’s natural elasticity allows them to compress their body further and bounce back. This will even work if an attack slams the user against a wall or other object. The bounce can be used evasively or to return the attack. However, the damage dealt will only be equal to the original attack. Using this skill without being attacked first renders it largely ineffective.
• Faster I
  
  - Your base physical speed is increased! By gaining the skills Harder, Better, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning.

Yoda the Goblin Kingling

---

Credit for the art to ZaraAlfonso

Name: Yoda.

Theme

Gender: Male.

Species: Goblin.

Appearance: Standing at a height of 3'4" with a svelte build is kinda standoffish for a Goblin. When Yoda was Nowell Hawkwood he always carried a meek yet sly nature about him. Instead of being born one of those brutish, angry Goblins, he very much came back a bit more innocent and easier on the eyes. And despite wishing it gone, upon rebirth, he held the same knife-scar through his left hand. Instead of the dull and dreary pupils most Goblins have, he's been blessed with a rich, if not intelligent pair of brown.

Goals: Yoda's goal is to embrace the new world offered to him by the Demon King. When he was human he always schemed or rather daydreamed about ways to be influential and powerful. It was his goal then to become a senator or dare-he-dream president but when his life was cut short, he knew it was impossible. Now reborn as a Goblin he wishes to gather powerful allies and scrape out a Kingdom for his own amongst the Demon King's territory.

Past Life: Yoda's past life was cut short by a sudden, stupid case of White Knight Syndrome. Throughout his sunlit life in California, USA, Nowell always felt he wasn't meant for much. He was born to a optimistic low-class family that did there best with what was given yet had no aspirations to get better; only survive. Something, Nowell, fought against with what his father would call street-smarts.

His street-smart, literal smarts, and application of self-taught, book-learned, martial arts gave him a slight advantage over most. He was agile and lean, but strong where it mattered. Not many in his neighborhood thought to fight him one-on-one and eventually he gathered a group of friends that he quote-unquote managed.

For a time he felt powerful.

But that came to halt when he entered high school. With only a few of his friends left--others moved away or simply faded away--school had become a harsh reality-check. Jocks didn't care about his skinny friends and three strongman against a lone fighter never turned out like it did in the movies he watched.

Because of this, for a time, he ended up the punching bag of the popular kids. Who he was proud to say never faced him alone.

So it was his senior year when he died. And having to re-watch it for what felt like an eternity taught him to never, ever stick his neck for anyone, especially if he lacked influence or strength. That day was so hot and the school's crappy air-conditioning was on the fritz. Everyone was feeling cranky.

Nowell knew it was best to avoid his bullies. So he went down every shadowed corridor, he took all the shortcuts to his classes, hung out in empty rooms like he usually did. Except that day one of his classrooms weren't empty. Muffled noises, cries for help barely made it out. When he spied some of the jocks raping a female student, he just ... moved. It was unexpected and totally out of character but he moved to help her.

...

Last thing he remembered was being pushed out the window of the third floor. Arms flailing, wind blistering in his ears, a prayer that he'd break bones instead of die.

Then SPLAT! Dead.

That won't happen again cause for a few minutes he had to feel every iota of pain that came with death.

Abilities:

• Use Light Equipment.
• Muffle I - Despite those heroic dreams, you took the coward’s way out and avoided conflict wherever you could. Even in a new body, you remember how to stay out of sight. Slight bonus to being stealthy.

Eric

Theme:

Gender:
Male

Species:
Goblin

Appearance:
Standing at the impressive height of 3'2", Eric has a face only his goblin mother could love. He's completely bald, with a set of crooked teeth, a large crooked nose, pointy ears, and two small red eyes.

Goals:
Eric intends to get strong enough to be able to leave the cave and don't get killed instantly. Next, it would be looking for the Demon King's palace and find out what's the reward he has for him, as well as if finding why did the Demon King decide to give him a second life. Another not so important objective would be to evolve into a form that isn't hideous or at least one that is taller than a child.

Past Life:
Eric didn’t have a very interesting life, not having many friends, spent his days studying or playing video games and found himself with a boring office job. It wasn’t until he was thirty years old that he realized that he had no grand aspirations, no friends, nothing accomplished and was basically living his life on autopilot. Deciding to get his life back in order Eric decided to fix his weight problem first, and upon doing that he would find his passion for both hiking and camping. In two years he went from an overweight guy who had anxiety problems to an all-around healthier and happier guy.

Eric’s death came from being at the wrong place at the wrong time, by deviating a little from his usual hiking path, he found himself in front of a bear finishing eating the corpse of a deer. While he knew what someone had to do if you encountered a bear, panic quickly set in and made him run, which ended with the bear chasing and subsequently mauling him to death. He accepted the chance of being reincarnated by the Demon King, with some reluctance, given that he was the Demon King, but the offer of a second life was too good to pass up.

Note: If you obtain ALL of the passive skills Harder, Better, Faster, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and Physical Conditioning will rise by one rank regardless of its Progression. - Acquired by using skill points at Level up.

Fire Resistance I - This damage resistance skill applies to both magical and natural flames, as well as higher temperatures in general. If other elemental resistances are gained, skill synergy may occur. Having this skill may make using certain types of fire magic or other fire oriented skills easier. - Acquired by Standing in a fire and healing himself.

Taming I - Many species have dominated or relied on each other throughout history. In a manner similar to social and charisma based skills, you use magic to form bonds with other creatures. At this rank, you may only attempt to tame one creature. If you switch to another, the former will be released from the bond. At this rank, you may only attempt to tame creatures at least one level below your own. At this rank, you must still entice the creature with things like food or protection. You may need multiple attempts. When Taming is complete, a personalized magical mark will appear on the creature. - Acquired through skill points.

Stronger II - You have grown stronger through tough training! Tear muscles down, and rebuild them anew! Your physical power stats have increased! By gaining at least one rank of Faster, Harder, and Better, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning. Acquired through training.
-- Your base physical strength has increased even further! --You possess the Use Light Equipment skill, but with this increase to your stats there may be some other forms of equipment you can wear without the proper skills. For instance, you may meet the requirement for a larger weapon if you are holding it in both hands or using your body more efficiently to lift and swing it. However, sub-enhancements for this equipment will be greatly diminished.-- gained by mighty variance.

Crafting II - You may craft very simple items from simple materials. Your knowledge and understanding of mechanics, workmanship, and other such things enable you to craft better items. The process of creating many items is still an unknown to you, but if you ever succeed in such a creation its Sub-Stat Enhancements will be higher than normal. Acquired by making clothes for himself. - Crafting Complexity Increased. Stamina Requirement Decreased.

Muffle I - This skill grants you the ability to be just a little bit better at being stealthy, with a focus on reducing the sound of your movements. acquired by continually trying to hide his presence

Use Light Equipment - The use of small tools, and lighter forms of armor, weaponry, and other items. --Due to your size as a Hipixie, even some Small items may be too large or heavy for you to use effectively.-- gained by level 5.

Meditate I - Through calming the mind and stimulating the soul, one clears their thoughts to form an unblocked conduit with ambient Mana in the environment. This increases the recovery speed of MP and Stamina. Acquired at level up.

Point Strike I - With a discerning eye, take aim at an opponent's weak point and concentrate your own power into a single point of attack. Slightly increase the power of any attack, and gain an increased chance for a Critical Hit. Using this Skill in conjunction with other attack Skills, however, may cause it to lose effectiveness.

Keen Sight I - Expend stamina to increase the range and clarity of physical sight. At this rank it is only barely superhuman but not above that of say, an animal. If all Keen Senses are acquired, they raise the rank of Beast Senses. Acquired from spotting a powerful magic spell fly through the air.

Material Analysis I - You have developed an eye for determining the qualities of inorganic or non-living objects. At this rank, you will only be able to gain surface information about an object. When used in conjunction with a crafting skill, it may help discover more compatible items. - Used while crafting armor.

Alert I - Though this skill is limited by the strength of your senses, and does not sharpen your senses on its own, it allows you to become more aware of your surroundings. Without conscious effort, you will pick up on signs in your environment more easily, especially if they present some form of danger to you. Essentially this is an anti-ambush skill.

Faster I - Your base physical speed is increased! By gaining the skills Harder, Better, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning. gained by flying realy fast away from wisps.

Throw Item I - Using an item from your inventory, you hurl it at the opponent by expending Stamina. Different items may have different effects and some are more suited than others as projectile weapons. At this rank, the chance to destroy the thrown item is very high. Damage type depends on the item. gained after throwing a stone.

Spells:

Minor Heal III - MP Cost increased. HP Heal increased. Healing can now be used on deeper wounds, but is still less effective on bones. As an Active Spell Skill, you may use any rank of this spell you are capable of within the limits of your MP. - Acquired by using skill points at Level up.

Your MP was boosted at level up. At current MP levels, you may use (4) Minor Heal Rank I from full MP; 2 Minor Heal Rank II with leftover MP from Full; 1 Minor Heal Rank III with leftover MP from full; (4) Shield Rank I from full MP. Your MP is currently not full; you do not have enough left to cast more than one Rank I spell.

Fire Ball I - The fire-themed version of a basic magical attack. With roughly the same power, range, and MP consumption as a Mana Orb, it has the unique property of being able to inflict a burn on the target. However, as an elemental spell, these same properties render it harder to use in certain circumstances. Non-flammable or elementally opposed targets, for example, will be much less effected. - Acquired through skill points.

Shield II - As an Active Spell Skill, you may choose to cast I or II. From Full MP, you have enough MP to cast the first rank 3 times with little leftover, the second can only be cast twice with some MP left over. You are currently not at Full MP. / Gained while fighting Rattleskull.

Inspire I - Expend MP to imbue your words with magic, and cheer yourself or an ally. The target's next action will be boosted, whether it be an attack skill, a healing spell, or anything else. This Skill will not work if the target cannot receive your inspiration, but they may not necessarily have to hear you. If the Target is under a Curse or other debilitating effect, your Inspiration may cancel it out temporarily or undo it if the same action is being affected (attack power that has been lowered by a rank I Curse might be returned to normal by a rank I Inspiration, for example). / Gained at level 5

Guidance I - Your pleas have been heard. Offer up a portion of your MP in prayer, and gain a chance to receive supernatural guidance. The effectiveness of the teachings depends on your faith--and your ability to read the signs. Does rustling grass along the path show your way, or reveal danger? Was that a whispered voice, or just the wind? Your faith will shape your journey. The better your relation with a particular deity, the more likely you are to receive their guidance. / gained at level 5

Spell Chant I - Magic is the unison of Nature, Spirit, and Will. Language is the expression of Will. Using personalized language as an aid in manipulating one's energy is the first step to conceptualization and understanding of what Magic truly is. Using a previously existing Spell Skill as the Base, you may enact one (1) alteration of the spell's typical qualities. Spell Chants will delay casting time by a default of 10 seconds, as any chant shorter than this will be ineffective. The more complex the chant, the greater the alteration, but also the greater the increase to MP cost; by default the spell's cost is increased by a further 50% of its initial value. / gained at level 5

Lesser Cleanse I - Refine and purify your own positively charged mana before releasing it to counteract negatively charged mana. Certain non-physical status effects like Curse may be dispelled by this spell, but things like Poison may only be reduced. This spell may also serve to neutralize negative mana build up in an area, such as cleansing a grave to prevent an Undead rising. However, at this rank only small areas can be cleansed, and only a small amount of negative mana can be neutralized. The greater the area, or the density, the less effective this spell will be. / gained at lvl 7.

Mana Strike I - Infuse a physical attack with non-elemental Magic to increase its damage. The attack's physical type of damage is unaffected, but Magic damage is simply added. Thus a creature with Slash Resistance would still take the Magic Damage if this Skill were used with a sword. Like Mana Orb, this technique is malleable and often a starting point for other forms of enchanting skills. Gained at Lvl 7.

Stone Shot I - You have learned to charge a piece of stone with your energy before hurling it at your opponent. This attack does blunt, piercing, and Earth-elemental magic damage. It consumes less MP than most spells, but requires ammunition. gained after infusing a stone with mana and throwing it.

Transformations:

(Immature) Mighty Hipixie -
He looked pretty much the same, all things considered. If anything, his skin tone had grown healthier and deeper. His hair was more voluminous and longer. His wings were stronger and larger--and it felt that he could move them more precisely, as well. If he relaxed them, instead of folding behind him like a dragonfly they now hung somewhat like a stiff cape down his back. His chest still bore those three scars and his hands were still stained...

But now, he stood a full foot and a half taller than before, not quite as tall as any Goblin but much larger and broader than a Pixie. His body had become more muscular--or rather, the muscles he had actually looked like they fit this body, whereas before he had stacked muscle on a frame that clearly wasn't meant for it. Still, it seemed obvious given the degree of tone and size now present that a normal Hipixie still wouldn't be this...buff.

Gender:

Male

Species:

Pixie

Goals:

Ardur simply wishes to be Strong. Strong enough to protect others and take care of them. He will do what he must to push others so they can also grow and be better.

- become worshiper of the sun and spread its influence.

New personality traits: Impulsive, Slightly crazy, Inquisitive, Courageous, Maybe a bit stupid, Opportunistic, lacks empathy towards most others.

Past Life

Ardur was once known as Travis Smith and worked and lived in the weird city of Portland Oregon. Now Travis had a rather normal upbringing with nothing too significant happening to him. He had parents that worked in industry. His father, worked with shipping containers as a foreman. His mother, worked with air cargo as a manager. Both did rather well for their family and kept them in a modest home. He had two younger sisters, twins actually. Both were dead set on joining the navy after they graduated.

Now Travis learned early on through volunteer work with his high school, that helping others was what he wanted to do. So instead of joining up with the military, was able to get a few scholarships and went into paramedic courses and physical trainer classes. Both of which he excelled at, finding his purpose in helping others. He did adopt a strange and sometimes dark sense of humor through this to deal with the stressful work environment of a paramedic. he filled his down time with listening and singing along to a variety of different modern and classic music as well as watching nature documentary's to help him relax.

For a time his life was good. He did what he could to help others through work and volunteering. Travis learned more about himself then he expected too. Working one week on one week off was a bit of a pain but it allowed him to work with some local athletes in his free time. Travis eventually found himself to be quiet in the company of others, always with a smile on his face. He did tend to be a bit pushy toward the people he was working with. He wanted to see them grow and be great. Somehow he adopted a protective side to him as well, especially towards his friends or the people he loved. This protective instinct would eventually lead to his down fall.

Travis, now 32, was going to be married in three months to a beautiful short red head named Sara, who just so happened to be a couple months pregnant. Sara was the one person who could really light a fire under him and get him to do anything. She was his motivation to be better, she was his muse. The last night he would be working was a stormy one. Just past midnight with rain, wind, and thunder. A strong winter storm. He was called out with his partner to a domestic. Apparently the husband beat his wife up pretty bad then ran out into the night.

The two paramedics didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t the first time they had been called out to something like this and it wouldn’t be the last. The police officers that stayed at the residence called out that the scene was safe as they approached. A severely beaten female sat on the hood of one of the police cars. Travis and his partner approached her and began to asses her injuries. The police officers were nearby interviewing some neighbors when it happened. He saw him out of the corner of his eye. A man brandishing a revolver came at them from in between a few houses intent on killing the woman.

Travis didn’t think he only reacted. Grabbing the woman and turning away from the man he tried to push her away and around the ambulance. He remembered hearing thunder and a scream. The thunder rang out three times but all he felt was cold as he hit the wet pavement. Several other flashes of lights and thunder rang out into the night as the last thing he remembers was thinking that Sara was going to kill him for this. The blurry and muted voice of his partner and the other officers continued in his head until everything faded, and he was alone and cold.

Then suddenly there was light and a voice talking about rebirth and demon kings. He thought he was hallucinating and thought this was just some sort of way his body dealt with the sudden loss of function, so he decided to play along. So many choices he wondered which one would suit him? The slime seemed nice but strange, the dire Rat just reminded him of filth and garbage. Then there was a wisp it seemed more of a loner and mysterious.

The goblin simply reminded him of stories of greed and madness, both things he dealt with regularly before and wasn’t too keen on continuing that. The serpent seemed interesting but seemed more designed to inflict lasting pain or torture and that wasn’t what he stood for. Finally, he was introduced to the Pixie. A strange creature sure, weaker than the others but a healer. Something that supports groups without inflicting too much pain. This is what he decided on and in an instant he felt cold again but also strange like waking up from a bad dream.

[King Cosmos]

Jacob "Oberon" Leach

Name: Jacob “Oh, do I need a new name? How about Oberon?” Leach

Theme: N/A

Gender: Male

Species: Sprite (Adult)

Level: 10

Appearance:


Goals: In the long term Jacob hopes to return home, even though his life wasn’t perfect back there. In the short term he will settle for simply surviving this nightmarish world he has found himself in.

Past Life: Jacob’s life was fairly average and therefore quite boring. A single child of an upper lower class family in an average American city, Jacob lived a simple life that most people would envy. He went to school, he had friends, he got good grades; his hobbies leaned more towards the nerdy side of things and he was kind of a geek, so there was some bullying but nothing too extreme.

Upon graduating Jacob was accepted to a decent university, the first person in his family to go, where he decided to try and turn his minor programming hobby into a computer science degree. He devoted himself to his studies and mostly avoided the kind of wild social life most students strive for; he was more likely to spend his Saturdays playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends than go to parties.

Four years later he left University, Bachelor’s degree in hand, and moved back home. He managed to get a job with relative ease, thanks to some connections his father had, though it was just a simple entry level gig at a large corporation. He spent the next couple of years in a cubical, an anonymous code monkey in a room full of many others, working away on various projects.

It was not a glamorous job, but he enjoyed it and at the same time knew it was only temporary. In another year or two he would either get a promotion or look for another job somewhere else, then start the process all over again as he slowly made his way up the corporate ladder. Eventually he’d get to the point where he had some control over what he worked on, maybe get himself promoted to technical lead at some big company or maybe even create his own start-up venture if he could get the funds and had a project he was passionate about.

It might not be the most exciting life, but Jacob was at least content with where he was, where he was going and felt he had a good grasp of what the future held for him.

Then he got hit by a car.

Abilities:
• Minor Heal III – The most basic of healing spells. Healing can now be used on deeper wounds, but is still less effective on bones. Cannot cure diseases. Will accelerate certain conditions such as malignant tumors. This magic is of the Nature Element, as a function of natural life force and biology. It can only be cast on a single target at a time. It can be cast at range, but the target must be within sight and near enough that the caster can distinctly make out their wounds. As an Active Spell Skill, you may use any rank of this spell you are capable of within the limits of your MP.
• Lesser Flight III – Allows for flight over short distances. Flight speed increased. MP Consumption slightly decreased. Maximum height slightly increased. Maximum distance slightly increased. Stamina consumption decreased. Carrying capacity increased.
• Shield I – The most basic of defensive support spells. An aura effect reduces incoming damage, but no physical barrier or counteractive forces are generated. Only natural resistances to damage are reinforced. Can be cast on objects.
• Shield II - This defensive spell increases the target’s natural defenses through supernatural means. Skin and bone are not hardened, resistances are not increased, but they will take less damage. At Rank II, this spell will last for 1 minute if it is not broken by a stronger attack. You can cast this spell twice and have leftover MP, but not enough to cast your other spells yet.
• Shield III - MP usage remains the same as Rank II. The Target's defenses are further increased.
• Shield IV - MP Cost slightly increased. The aura effect encompasses the target's entire body and what they have on their person, possibly increasing the ability of shields or armor, unless otherwise shaped. Shaping the aura no longer applies the Shield spell on that one part--rather, the effect of the Shield that would normally be spread across the body is now concentrated, greatly increasing the effect applied on that shape. Defenses are further increased. Lasts for 2 minutes or until broken by significant damage.
• Magic Analysis IV - Gain more detail about observed magic skills, objects, etc. Lose less effectiveness when using this skill on other things, even if they aren’t magically inclined. When analyzing a spell or creature you have analyzed at least one time before, you may learn information such as its elemental affinities and weaknesses and its magical abilities' elements and functions, depending on different factors.
• Mana Orb II - A simple blast of Energy elemental magic with a range of 30 feet. At the moment it only does as much damage as a strong punch on average, unless the enemy is weak to magic. As it gets stronger it becomes a generic, non-elemental energy blast. Due to its simple nature and lack of elemental properties the Mana Orb spell is easily malleable into other spell forms. Magic Damage Increased. MP Cost Increased.
• Mana Shape III - You may now produce more than one shape at a time (interlocking or separate), and these shapes may move. More complicated movement and higher numbers of shapes causes higher MP Drain. At this rank, your Mana still does not have weight, force, or other physical qualities. Your Mana cannot produce sounds. Your Mana cannot move freely. Your mana can have its color changed and can now be more than one solid color. At this rank, manipulating more complex shapes becomes easier. You may also move the shaped Mana within a ten foot radius around yourself, though it cannot be used as a projectile. In addition to multiple colors, your Mana can now be shaped to imitate a texture. Making the mana dense enough to become opaque is possible, but increases MP consumption.
• Lesser Status Heal I - A Nature-element spell that boosts the target's natural immune systems. Physically this boost allows the body to fight off weaker toxins, diseases, etc, even if they are caused by magic. Certain magical status effects may not be affected, or only temporarily alleviated, such as a Curse that weakens one's normal abilities.
• Mana Dart I - A focused magic projectile that deals non-elemental Magic damage and Piercing Damage. Higher cost than Mana Orb but increased range, speed, and damage. However, its smaller size makes it less accurate.
• Alert II - Though this skill is limited by the strength of your senses, and does not sharpen your senses on its own, it allows you to become more aware of your surroundings. Without conscious effort, you will pick up on signs in your environment more easily, especially if they present some form of danger to you. Essentially this is an anti-ambush skill. At this Rank, you may use the Passive form of Alert as normal. By Actively engaging the Alert skill, your senses become temporarily sharper and make it easier to find a target even if it is under the effect of Stealth skills. The Active form of this skill may also alert you to environmental hazards.
• Monster Analysis III - Gain biological information about a monster by actively observing it. Gain more information about a creature or other items directly related to a creature. You may now gain comparison information about the creature's physical capabilities contrasted with your own.
• Meditate III - Through calming the mind and stimulating the soul, one clears their thoughts to form an unblocked conduit with ambient Mana in the environment. This increases the recovery speed of MP and Stamina. Low background noises, movements, etc (comparable to the common room of an Inn, a busy street at the market, etc) will no longer decrease the effectiveness of this skill so long as the user maintains stillness and a calm state of mind. Using this skill in and of itself does not consume any form of MP, Stamina, or other resources. The recovery of Stamina in particular is not as effective as normal sleep or rest, and is reduced when in need of food or water. This skill may be used while moving in a slow, relaxed fashion, such as while walking or bathing. This skill cannot be used in conjunction with other Active skills.
• Light Ring I - A basic light element spell. It has the same MP cost as Mana Orb but has a shorter range; however, rather than moving in a straight line, this ring of light spins along an arcing path covering 180 degrees in front of the caster. It can hit multiple targets along this path, however after each successful hit its power decreases. It deals Light Magic Damage, which burns but cannot CAUSE a Burn effect.
• Gather Light II - Under full sunlight, convert solar energy to Mana. You may move at a slow, relaxed pace while using this skill. Any blockage of sunlight will immediately cancel this skill, and it may not be used in conjunction with Active skills. Its Mana Recovery is slightly slower than Meditate. Mana Recovery Speed increased, roughly equivalent to Rank I Meditation. Under a full moon, this skill can now activate at half its normal speed. At high noon, this skill's recovery is 25% faster.
• Fireball I - The fire-themed version of a basic magical attack. With roughly the same power, range, and MP consumption as a Mana Orb, it has the unique property of being able to inflict a burn on the target. However, as an elemental spell, these same properties render it harder to use in certain circumstances. Non-flammable or elementally opposed targets, for example, will be much less effected.
• Plant Analysis I - Basic field knowledge of botany. At this rank, using this skill only grants you “generalized” information.
• Material Analysis I - You have developed an eye for determining the qualities of inorganic or non-living objects. At this rank, you will only be able to gain surface information about an object. When used in conjunction with a crafting skill, it may help discover more compatible items.
• Sacred Ground I - By marking an area on the ground, you channel your Mana to boost the natural properties of the earth and create a safe zone for anyone who enters it. At this rank, HP will recover slowly for those you deem allies, and damage taken from enemies outside the zone will slightly decrease. This Spell consumes MP for as long as it is active. The larger the created zone, the more MP required.
• Mana Slice I - A slashing wave of projected mana--essentially, a Mana Orb that has gained the Slashing property. It consumes the same amount of MP as a Mana Orb spell of equal rank, and moves faster, but its damage is split between Slash and Non-Elemental Magic. Resistances and Defenses of the target will apply for each type.
• Overwork I - Push through, break the limit, and--probably need a nap later. When you really need it, you’re able to summon up just that little extra bit of power, at the cost of slowly stressing yourself to death. This skill will deactivate when Stamina runs out.
• Fusion Skill [Analysis] - A Fusion Skill is not a true skill by itself, but a sort of shortcut. You have acquired Monster, Magic, Plant, and Material Analysis skills. By activating [Analysis] you will use all of these skills at once without as much mental effort. [Analysis] will not go up in Rank, but its effectiveness will increase if the Skills used for Fusion are increased. However, if only Analysis is used, the growth of the individual skills will not be as fast.
• Keen Sight I - Expend stamina to increase the range and clarity of physical sight.
• Minor Heal All I - Cast the equivalent of Minor Heal I on up to three targets simultaneously. One of the three targets can be yourself. This spell uses roughly three times the MP of Minor Heal I. All other parameters are as specified in Minor Heal I.
• Spiritual Awareness I - You have become more aware of the spiritual side of the world. This will affect your interactions with certain types of spiritual monsters such as non-corporeal Undead. At this rank, you can only detect a hint of the spiritual world. There may also be other affects of this ability...
• Minor Regeneration I - A spell that increases the target's natural healing ability, but over a period of time. Unlike Minor Heal, this spell can affect bones and deeper wounds, and may even increase the chance to resist certain diseases or other physical status effects for a target fighting off infection/injury. However, Minor Regeneration will not recover as much total HP as Minor Heal at equivalent ranks. At this rank, Minor Regeneration's effect will last for 30 seconds.
• Spell Chant I - Magic is the unison of Nature, Spirit, and Will. Language is the expression of Will. Using personalized language as an aid in manipulating one's energy is the first step to conceptualization and understanding of what Magic truly is. Using a previously existing Spell Skill as the Base, you may enact one (1) alteration of the spell's typical qualities. --You possess the skill Focus, which allows a spell to increase either its power or range in return for increased MP cost of 50% of its initial value and delayed casting time of 30 seconds.-- Spell Chants will also delay casting time by a default of 10 seconds, as any chant shorter than this will be ineffective. --Skill Synergy between this skill and Focus will allow you to alter Power/Range + One (1) other spell quality, which may include Power or Range a second time.-- The more complex the chant, the greater the alteration, but also the greater the increase to MP cost; by default the spell's cost is increased by a further 50% of its initial value.
• Focus I - By spending at least 30 seconds focusing before using an offensive Skill or Spell, you can increase its damage. At this rank it is comparable to increasing the power by one rank (eg Mana Orb I to Mana Orb II) while also increasing the MP cost by half again (spend 1.5x Mana Orb I's cost).
• Mental Resistance II - This skill will not undo your current status from mental effects- Take less damage from Psychic-type spells or skills, and have a better chance of resisting mind-altering effects such as Confusion or Hypnosis. This counts as an Elemental resistance for the purposes of Magic Resistance.
Further decrease damage from Psychic-type spells or skills, and have an even better chance of resisting mind-altering effects. At this rank even if you take no damage or are unaffected, you will have a general idea about the skill used on you, like guessing where a thrown rock came from.
• Sensory Resistance I - This skill will not undo your current status from sensory effects- You have a lower chance to be afflicted by status effects that distort the senses such as Blindness or Deafness. -Under some circumstances this ability may synergize with other resistances.
• Faster I - Your base physical speed is increased! By gaining the skills Harder, Better, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning.
• Aqua Sphere I - By charging a small amount of water with mana, create a sphere of pressurized liquid to be launched at the target. While it does not require ammunition so to speak, this spell works better if there is water in the environment or in heavy humidity. Its range, damage, and MP cost are virtually identical to Mana Orb, but its nature as a Water spell varies its power based on elemental properties of the target.
• Wind Break I - A basic level Wind spell. Charge air currents with Mana to increase their speed and change their direction. The overlapping winds create different areas of pressure, and when they collide the target is sliced by the vacuums as the atmosphere restores equilibrium. Deals Slashing and Wind Magic damage. This spell is ranged, but does not travel like a projectile. Rather, it is cast on a point within the range equivalent to something like a Mana Orb.
• Wall I - Use a dense field of Mana to create a barrier and repel attacks. This spell requires significantly more MP than many first-rank abilities. But as a result, the Mana is sturdy and can repel or reduce most spells of the same rank to some degree. At this rank, the Wall may only be created within two feet of the caster's body. It may be only created in two dimensional, simple geometric shapes of roughly 1-inch thickness. It cannot cover a total area larger than the caster's body--thus, at this rank it can only defend in one direction at a time. Attempting to cast a second Wall spell will remove the first Wall.
• Flame Lance I - Deal Piercing and Fire Damage. This spell costs significantly more MP than Fireball, but moves at a much faster speed. It doesn't have any area of effect, and also doesn't inflict burns due to the speed at which wounds are cauterized. It may, however, weaken a target's defenses.
• Charisma I - Your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You’ll have greater luck convincing others to go along with your suggestions, but only within their own natural reasoning. This skill may not work on those with stronger Wills.
• Mana Sense I - You have sharpened your mental and spiritual senses as well as your physical ones. By focusing upon a single creature or object, you will be able to sense its magical nature in some fashion. Different creatures may perceive this aura in different ways--some may see a colored aura, others may catch unique scents, etc. This is not an Analysis skill, though it may Synergize with some of them. The range of this skill is limited to that of your other physical senses, though in some cases a mana signature may become easier or more difficult to detect depending on factors such as strength, amount, etc. By touching an object or creature, even if they are somehow suppressing their magical power, you have a chance to learn whether or not magic is present. At this rank, you must activate this skill in order for it to take effect. While active it will consume MP.
• Lesser Force I - A conversion of Mana into physical force. It has a short range and is relatively weak at this rank, but allows one to pick up small objects without using a limb.
• Stone Shot I - You have learned to charge a piece of stone with your energy before hurling it at your opponent. This attack does blunt, piercing, and Earth-elemental magic damage. It consumes less MP than most spells, but requires ammunition.
• Light Affinity I - You have developed a bond with the light element. At this rank, MP/SP cost for all Light-related skills is reduced. Light-related skills will develop more quickly. Increase the rank of your affinity by deepening your understanding of the Light element.
• Gravity Well I - Within 30 feet of the caster, create a spherical area with a diameter of 5 feet. Magical force infuses the physical phenomenon of gravity, increasing its effect upon the target at the center of the sphere. The target experiences a crushing force roughly equivalent to a fourth of its own weight concentrated into a single instant.

Puck

---

---

Name: Puck

Theme: Warriors by Imagine Dragons

Gender: Male

Species: Pixie

Appearance:

Puck's general appearance may be considered somewhat androgenous. Standing at around one feet tall, he possesses faint greyish green skin free from any visible blemishes, bushy and unkempt moss-like hair, massive pale red eyes, large pointy ears, and lumenscent blush pink gossamer wings.

Aside from the impression of impishness and whimsicality that's just waiting to burst out, Puck usually gives off a playful and friendly vibe towards others.

Goals:

Although it might sound like an exaggeration, Puck's last few months in his previous felt like several agonizing years of suffering. He had no choice but to remain in the hospital, bound to his bed. It was something he wouldn't want to relive.

Puck only wants to live his new life of explorations and adventure to the fullest. Well, at least for now.

Past Life:

As Juan Conrado Saavedra Jr., Puck was a plucky and optimistic young man from a well off family in the Philippines. He did well in his academics and despite not excelling too much in physical activities, he was extremely active as he played a variety of sports. Although straightforward and tactless at times, Puck was still loved and liked by many. Behind his cheerfulness and laid-back personality, was confidence and a degree of rationality that was far beyond his years.

Sadly, his life had ended as it was just beginning. At the age of fifteen, Puck was diagnosed with a late stage malignant tumor; primary site was at his sternum and unfortunately, spread to both his lungs, liver, and a portion of his spine was already present. His condition was far too severe for anything curative and how much time he had left was difficult to ascertain. However, even with such a poor prognosis, all resources and modalities of treatment were maximised. Despite the batteries of tests, uncomfortable and invasive procedures, and extremely tiring chemoradiation that had lasted for what was almost half a year, Puck's disposition on life never wavered. He remained as carefree and jovial as ever. Even on the night he had passed away, despite his cachecitic body, hair withering away, and muscles atrophied, Puck still managed to keep on smiling.

Puck was well aware of his condition and had already accepted his fate long before anyone else had. The fact that he was now being presented with another life had caught him by surprise. In all honesty, he had readied himself for death, but apparently, it seemed like death wasn't ready for him just yet. Puck could think of a dozen reasons to deny or question the new life that was being offered to him, but he knew he didn't have to. Whether this was all real or not didn't really matter; the worst case scenario was that this was all a dream and he hadn't actually died. As much as Puck wanted to see his family and friends, returning back to the sorry state that he was in wasn't something he was looking forward to. So he decided, as long as this new reality he was in remained intact, there was no reason for him not to play along. And who was he kidding, Puck was never the type to say no to an adventure.

Torrent

Name:
Torrent, formerly Rain

Theme:
Just One Yesterday by Fall Out Boy

Hider

Gender:
Female

Species:
Lessereurm

Appearance:
Green with blue mixed in.
She looked like a fantasy version of a skink lizard, her head being more bony with scaly outcrops along her snout and over the ridges on her eyes. Though she had no back legs, her front limbs had become somewhat longer and stronger. While she didn't have true thumbs, her claws had been reduced to three digits, two of which were longer and the third of which was shorter, thicker, and set at an angle to the others. It was a bit like a human's hand making a constant "Spock-hand" by holding the index-middle and pinky-ring fingers in pairs and curling the thumb. The joints of these "fingers" and the natural curl of her claws gave her a stronger grip that she could feel even as she began to pull herself along the ground--she would be able to pull, or to scoop and dig, quite fast if she felt so inclined. She was roughly twice as long as her previous form, though not so heavy-set throughout her body. As her tail instinctively lashed behind her, she would likely feel confident that she could easily contort herself in a variety of shapes.

Goals:
Rain has only a few major goals:
-Follow any instructions from the mysterious Demon King
-Make the most of this second chance, no matter the cost
-Become the King's favorite, at any cost (selfish reasons, really)

Past Life:
There were few things more important to Rain in her short life than secrecy, alertness, and speed. She was not stronger than most, she was not at healthy as most, but with those three key factors helped to keep her alive and ahead in the dirty streets of an unnamed slum deep in the heart of Detroit.

Born to teen parents who didn't want her, it was a life of hardship from the start. She looked to her parents and was left wanting, before being abandoned at the age of six. She was a street urchin with a lack of trust and a thirst for better.

She scraped by, year after year, by honing these skills and not being afraid to be ruthless with the other filth left in the gutter, the gangs and the deranged.

Her life, however, was cut short by someone just a bit smarter and faster than she was, who happened to slip a knife between her ribs at the age of 16.

Given a second chance, she's going to do it right this time.

Digbie Yondir, Goblin

TRIGGER WARNING

Seriously, there's hecka dark material ahead, my dudes. Venture at your own risk.

The REAL Digbie The Shovel Boi

"I'm good at diggin', and not much else."

---

Name:
Digbie Yondir

Themes:
(Common)
(Rarely)
(Evolved - Demiblin)
(Evolved - Palablin)

Gender:
Male

Species:
Goblin > Mystic Stone-Hardened Demigoblin

Appearance:
It's your standard goblin, though he has a far weaker chin than most goblins. Honestly, he just looks like a really short human with green skin, a long and pointy nose, and pointed ears. He has hair, but it's only growing right above the middle of his head like a mohawk, and it refuses to spread anywhere else on his head. It's actually kinda long.

With the evolution to Demiblin, not much changed for the lad aside from his skin growing MUCH darker overall, nearly a bluish-charcoal color, and Digbie's arms being covered in a large amount of bright blue sigils. Digbie's eyes also began to glow, though this is mainly noticeable when Digbie's eyes are covered in shade.
(I'll be doing art of this boy in time).

Goals:
What do you want, Digbie? It certainly isn't power...

Past Life:
Digbie didn't really have a life. It was more or less just a collection of him existing and being somebody that he couldn't tell people about. His dad said something about how his mom was still around and he loved her, but Digbie never saw her. He suspected that she was in the back room of his old house, where it smelled, was obnoxiously cold from an under-draft, and always buzzed like flies, but he wasn't ever allowed in there.

Early on in his life, Digbie liked to play around in the backyard with his trusty shovel, digging around everywhere and getting into gardening (though he was never any good at the latter.) When he wasn't at school, he was probably digging a hole in his backyard. It helped him cope with the skulls of people in his room when his dad was apparently 'done' with them. Digbie couldn't understand, and he didn't understand why he came home sometimes to find his holes covered up. At first it scared him, but he grew out of it.

He was around 14 or so, making somewhat respectable grades at his school and a pretty smart fellow at face value, when his dad got mad at him. He made a low grade in his history class. His dad yelled at him and cast him to the bathroom while he thought about how to punish his bastard of a son. Digbie was scared, but Digbie was also smart and didn't break the bathroom to worsen the punishment. His dad settled on turning his hobby into a punishment, and after feeding him a good meal, sent Digbie to the backyard to dig a hole and find a bone in the backyard, but he had to find a bone in a spot of the yard where he had never dug before.

Digbie began to dig a hole on Sunday.

The authorities found his body in the hole two Saturdays later.

He actually got pretty far.

Orochi/Ryuu Takahashi

Name: Ryuu Takahashi

Aliases: Orochi

Theme: None for the moment

Gender: Male

Species: Fanged Lizard

Appearance:

The General Idea

Physically Ryuu's body is much like that of other Fanged Lizards, small, lithe and coated in scales. One notable deviation is that Ryuu possesses a slightly longer tail than other fanged lizards. Aesthetically speaking, Ryuu's coat is made up of dull jade coloured scales on all sides, save for his underbelly which is a charcoal grey. A pair of circular yellow markings around his crimson snake-like eyes trail down towards the lizard's neck where they fade into thin streaks. The yellowed scales re-emerge periodically down his body as small thin markings, with the ones near his tail resembling slash marks. His build is average if compared to others of the species.

Goals:
- Survival is obviously priority number one.
- Gain more experience and carve out a reputation for himself in this new world. Perhaps the Demon King would know how best to start...

Past Life: Born as the only child of a middle class family living in Kyoto, Ryuu had by all standards, an average childhood. So long as he kept his grades up, he was allowed to do whatever he so pleased. Most of his free time was spent in the realms of swords and sorcery, through books and video games. What was originally a way for him to escape the monotony of his daily life swiftly turned into what some would call a passion. The boy managed to attract a small, yet-tightly knit group of friends throughout his early school years, due to his outgoing personality.

His parents split right as Ryuu was set to enter High School, though he did manage to keep up a good standing with both of them. In his first year Ryuu discovered that his true talent for writing. As such he devoted himself to becoming an author of fantasy novels, the very same stories that he had loved since childhood inspiring him to write of demons and legendary heroes. Much to the chagrin of his parents Ryuu was dead-set on his aspirations.

It was in his third year of high school that Ryuu met a girl named Saiki, who turned out to be his first and last love. The two shared many interests and things went well up until they were roughly a month from graduation. Walking home from school one night Ryuu found himself attacked by members of the local Yakuza clan. He tried his hardest to run, but within seconds the men had him on the ground and drugged Ryuu into unconsciousness.

When he awoke, the first thing Ryuu noticed was that his arms were now bound by ropes that were tied off onto pillars on opposite sides of him. Secondly, he was now shirtless and he was not alone in the room. The two men who had attacked him both now wielding knives, a man he did not recognize, and Saiki were all present. He heard the unknown man ask his daughter if she knew the boy in front of him, to which Saiki denied having knowledge of him. In the next instant Ryuu felt a searing pain tear through his exposed left arm, one of the kidnappers had cut him. This process repeated itself for nearly an hour, every refusal being met with yet another slash until finally Saiki caved. She told the man whom she addressed as father everything about the pair's recent relationship. The look of raw fury on the mans face at this revelation was enough to send chills of fear throughout Ryuu's whole body. He was terrified of what could come next.

And that's when he felt the knife tear open his throat. In that instant Ryuu knew that it was all over, he was as good as dead. These men were truly monsters, and yet there was no hero. All he could do was weakly look upon the faces of his mortified love and furious father as he swiftly succumbed to death.

What felt like years to Ryuu passed before a figure who called himself the Demon King appeared to him promising rebirth. With no other option, Ryuu made his choice of creature and was reborn...

Abilities:

Stun Fang I - Injects a target with a paralytic agent delivered via a bite attack. The afflicted is unable to move until either the duration expires or they are cured. - (Starter Skill for Fanged Lizard)

Poison Spit I - Launch a small, caustic blob of venom at a target. - (Starter Skill for Fanged Lizard)

Scribe I - Your past life as a writer has given you the gift of transforming emotion, sight, sound, and so many others into words. And words have power all their own. This skill's current rank allows the user to take any spell that they know, and inscribe it upon an object. That item can be used to release the spell at any time and by anyone. The same MP cost of the spell, plus the MP cost of this skill, is used up when enchanting the item.

Israï

Name: Tom Hedgeworth, though he refers to himself now as Israï

Gender: Male

Species: Wisp

Appearance: Many wisps often chose vibrant colors. Sometimes aligning with the color of an element. This is not the case with Israï. He is a wisp of dark red and black. An obscuring creature mostly home in shade and midnight darkness. For the rest he is nothing more than a homogeonous, rippling blob of a certain, seemingly liquid as his core. With a more gasious 'shell' around it.

Goals: To gather power and gain superiority, maybe even apotheosis. Israï is happy he is given the chance to be more than used to be and will follow the Demon King's command. But he can chose, he will always take the path that gives him the most magical power or dominion.

Past Life: There is nothing, absolutely nothing that would set Tom apart from any western kid. Born from two, upper-middle-class parents, he lived his early life in books and on the internet gaming. He was a full-blown nerd with glasses and a lack of social skills. Tom studied computer science and went to work with an average IT company. Though Tom's life was incredibly boring, his interests were not. At night he read in books about occult rituals. During his holidays he traveled to see musea of obscure myths or odd locations. He never really got a hold of anything truly magical. But it never stopped him. He wanted something that would pull his life from the dull routine. Something that would make him feel like the mightest person on earth and give him command over others. The result: an accident at 32 years old. A truck couldn't break in time and passed a red light. Tom died on the spot.

Abilities:
- Mana Orb I - Send forth a magical orb to damage enemies
- Lesser Force I - Use minor telekinesis to project force upon a certain object
- Levitation - Float a few inches off the ground.

- Extra MP - You have extra magical energy buzzing in your body. (currently enough to cast one extra lesser spell) - Gained through the study of the occult in his previous life.

I hope it's not too cute.

Name:
Orchid

Theme:
For Ironic Reasons

Gender:
Female

Species:
Goblin

Appearance:


Goals:
Survive

Past Life:
Orchid's life was simple. She was just an everyday girl born and raised in a rural countryside in North Carolina. Her family were farmers; they raised cattle and grew corn to sell both locally and to various food industries. It was a family business and as the eldest child, Orchid often had to do all the chores herself if her parents weren't doing it. Feeding cattle, harvesting crops, taking care of her siblings. All while balancing an education and a social life. Sufficient to say she had to make some sacrifices.

She grew big and strong, stronger than most boys and even her own father (Though it didn't help that he was growing old). She could carry a small cow, push a truck out of the mud, and haul hundred pound bags of cornmeal in a ten mile walk. She never really took care of her appearance beyond some acne problems, and physically she was healthy, but her burly muscles and general demeanor did not earn her many friends. Girls insulted her for her manly physique and guys were either intimidated or just disgusted by her lack of femininity. Orchid learned not to care; she was doing more for her family now than those kids could with their entire adult careers. Always the dutiful daughter, she did everything for her family. Even sacrificed herself for them.

It was a cold winter morning. Though it was snowing heavily, school was not out due to important tests the students had to take. Orchid was waiting at her bus stop with her two siblings who were also going to school. It was cold, but they had made sure to dress warmly. But this also meant they were sluggish and a bit slow. As they were waiting for the school bus Orchid heard it coming. But something was wrong. The bus wasn't stopping. It started to slide and in the fraction of a second she knew what was going to happen. Her school bus was going to swerve and possibly hit them. She could jump out of the way but her little siblings couldn't they would be too slow. So as the adrenaline pumped through her body she picked them both up and threw them to safety. This left her no time to save herself as the bus crashed into her. Her last memories was looking up to the sky and noting how warm the snow was.

Abilities:
Light Equipment - The use of small tools, and lighter forms of armor, weaponry, and other items. Skill granted by birth as a Goblin.

Pacify Animal I (1.0) - You remember how to handle animals and read their body language. Through your own actions, you have a higher chance than normal of getting a hostile beast to calm down and become neutral towards you.

Stronger I (1.4) - Hauling bundles of hay and sacks of grain isn't all about size and muscle, though that certainly helps. Leverage is also a large part of strength, and you remember that. Your raw strength is increased by a minor amount.

Crafting III (3.0) - You can now craft more complex objects with a single moving part (like a flail or a wheel) more easily. Stamina usage from crafting decreased. Sub-stat Enhancements of items crafted from this point on are increased, but items previously made are still the same.

Mourningstar

"Let the light that all dying men see shine upon you! The Mourningstar!"

Name: Mourningstar

Theme:

Decisive Battle

Gender: Female

Species: Wisp

Goals: To conquer this pathetic realm! (And get a bit more confident as well)

Past Life: Mourningstar doesn't want to remember her past life for a variety of reasons. That fact that she was a pathetic loser with no friends outside the internet is one. The fact that she had been 25 and struggling to move out of her parent's place was another. Her crippling lack of self confidence was a very good one.

In her past life she had been a prodigy in programming, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in only two years of college and being the top of her class. The problem was that she could barely interact with people, a lifetime of shutting herself in her room to focus on her personal projects and gaming. She didn't even bother showing up to the graduation ceremony, there were way too many people there for her to even breathe much less give a big speech. She did a private celebration with her parents instead. This is how things went for 5 years, moving from job to job as a freelance programmer all from the comfort of her nice dark room.

Then of course the one time she decides to come out of the house to go get something to eat (a little self congratulatory snack after a particularly long coding session) she ends up the victim of a mugging gone wrong. She did everything right too, handed over her wallet, jacket, phone, so why did the mugger shoot? She would never know, nor did she really care. She was dead now, nothing left but to go to purgatory or whatever. So when she was given the opportunity to reincarnate in a cool fantasy world like her favorite games and anime, you can be damn sure she would take it. Nothing else better to do right?

This was her chance to reinvent herself, be more confident, attractive, powerful. So with that, the lost soul discarded the name of the old pathetic loser she used to be and adopted the name of a new, beautiful soul. She would be named Mourningstar! A bit edgy, but she liked the name, it was fun. Maybe this was a common name for monsters in the new world? Only one way to find out!

[Duthguy]

Name: Danny

Theme:

Gender: Male

Species: Wisp > Immature Poltergeist

Appearance:

Hider

Goals: Danny has only two goals and one of them is more secondary. He wants to live a long life and if possible somehow get a body that is immune to all diseases and poisons.

Past Life:Despite being better suited to become a Goblin this former handyman/gardener choose to become a Wisp. His reasoning while flawed and mostly subconscious was simple. As a being of energy his new "body" was unlikely to be ravaged by the disease that claimed his life once already.

As a human Danny's life was mostly average, he wasn't a great student or super popular but he did okay at school and had a few friends. Still not coming from a rich family he dropped out after college and looked for a job.

A couple of years later a routine check-up revealed he had lymphoma though the doctors were confident that they found it in time. At first it seemed they were right and that he had made a full recovery, but during a post treatment check up it turned out the cancer spread to his brain and most likely fatal. Mot wanting to go through chemo again, and even with little hope of survival, he choose to simply kill himself.

Abilities:

Hider

• Mana Orb I and II A simple blast of Energy elemental magic with a range of 30 feet. At the moment it only does as much damage as a strong punch on average, unless the enemy is weak to magic. As it gets stronger it becomes a generic, non-elemental energy blast. Due to its simple nature and lack of elemental properties the Mana Orb spell is easily malleable into other spell forms. Magic damage increased. MP Cost increased. As an Active Spell Skill, this skill may be used at any Rank of power you possess.
• Lesser Force II Use a type of magical telekinesis to manipulate objects a short distance from your body. Objects cannot be finely manipulated, and the strength of this Spell is comparable to your physical ability. It works better if the object is also within your sight. This Spell has low MP consumption. MP Consumption decreased. Range slightly increased. Force strength slightly increased. Rather than more powerful, it would be more accurate to say this skill is now more efficient. Range increased, total radius is now 5 feet. Power extended at this range is the same as Rank II. Power at arm's length is now stronger.
• Levitation
• Monster Analysis III Gain more information about a creature or other items directly related to a creature. You may now gain comparison information about the creature's physical capabilities contrasted with your own.
• Magic Analysis II! Gain more detail about Magic oriented Skills and Spells. Lose less effectiveness when analyzing Monsters, Materials, etc so long as they are magically inclined.
• Meditate I By concentrating and calming oneself, increase the regeneration of Magic Power and Stamina. This skill cannot be used in battle. Any distractions in the environment will drastically decrease the effectiveness of this skill. This skill cannot be used in conjunction with other Active skills.
• Mana Shape I You can shape your raw Mana into the appearance of something. At this rank, your Mana does not have weight, force, or other physical qualities. Your Mana cannot produce sounds. Your Mana cannot move freely. Your mana can have its color changed. Your shapes must be relatively simple with no moving parts. The shape cannot be held for long without more MP.
• Aqua Sphere I By charging a small amount of water with mana, create a sphere of pressurized liquid to be launched at the target. While it does not require ammunition so to speak, this spell works better if there is water in the environment or in heavy humidity. Its range, damage, and MP cost are virtually identical to Mana Orb, but its nature as a Water spell varies its power based on elemental properties of the target.
• Mana Dart I! A focused magic projectile that deals non-elemental Magic damage and Piercing Damage. Higher cost than Mana Orb but increased range, speed, and damage. However, its smaller size makes it less accurate.
• Blunt Resistance I Reduce Blunt physical damage by a small amount; a Rank I attack skill would be reduced almost completely, depending on your own base defensive stats.
• Focus I By spending at least 30 seconds focusing before using an offensive Skill or Spell, you can increase its damage or range. At this rank it is comparable to increasing the power by one rank (eg Mana Orb I to Mana Orb II) while also increasing the MP cost by half again (spend 1.5x Mana Orb I's cost).
• Faster I Your base physical speed is increased! By gaining the skills Harder, Better, and Stronger, Skill Synergy will occur and you will gain one rank of Physical Conditioning.
• Plant Analysis I Gain basic information about the properties of a plant by carefully observing it.
• Mana Vision I Concentrate MP in your eyes to see the fluctuations of Mana. The level of detail and other qualities of your Mana Vision depend not only on the Rank of this Skill, but also on your physical sense of sight. Depending on the strength of your concentration, having a lesser sense of vision may also consume Stamina when using this Skill. At your current Rank, you can only see strange fluctations of magic energies and shapes that are not easily understood...
• Point Strike I With a discerning eye, take aim at an oppenent's weak point and concentrate your own power into a single point of attack. Slightly increase the power of any attack, and gain an increased chance for a Critical Hit. Using this Skill in conjunction with other attack Skills, however, may cause it to lose effectiveness.
• Muffle I This skill grants you the ability to be just a little bit better at being stealthy, with a focus on reducing the sound of your movements.
• Crafting I Your knowledge and understanding of mechanics, workmanship, and other such things enable you to craft better items. The process of creating many items is still an unknown to you, but if you ever succeed in such a creation its Sub-Stat Enhancements will be higher than normal.
• Spiritual Awareness I You have become more aware of the spiritual side of the world. This will affect your interactions with certain types of spiritual monsters such as non-corporeal Undead. At this rank, you can only detect a hint of the spiritual world. There may also be other affects of this ability...
• Fireball I The fire-themed version of a basic magical attack. With roughly the same power, range, and MP consumption as a Mana Orb, it has the unique property of being able to inflict a burn on the target. However, as an elemental spell, these same properties render it harder to use in certain circumstances. Non-flammable or elementally opposed targets, for example, will be much less effected.
• Material Analysis I You have developed an eye for determining the qualities of inorganic or non-living objects. At this rank, you will only be able to gain surface information about an object. When used in conjunction with a crafting skill, it may help discover more compatible items.
• Fusion Skill [Analysis] A Fusion Skill is not a true skill by itself, but a sort of shortcut. You have acquired Monster, Magic, Plant and Material Analysis skills. By activating [Analysis] you will use all of these skills at once without as much mental effort. [Analysis] will not go up in Rank, but its effectiveness will increase if the Skills used for Fusion are increased. However, if only Analysis is used, the growth of the individual skills will not be as fast.
• Charisma I Like other charismatic skills, your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You’ll have greater luck convincing others to go along with your suggestions, but only within their own natural reasoning. This skill may not work on those with stronger Wills.

Xiao Mei

_{Primary Hex Code: #C9A281 | Secondary Hex Code: #D2691E}

---

Name: Xiao Mei

Theme: -

Gender: Female

Species: Dire Rat

Appearance: Just over a foot and a half when standing, Mei is far less intimidating than the typical Dire Rat. Her dull umber fur appears to be shorter than most, but remains coarse and unkempt. What makes Mei easier to identify would be her left eye. Although cloud-like in opacity, she suffers no impairment in vision from it.

Goals: To conquer the world

Past Life:
Mei's history begins in a small urban area of the Fujian province in China. Her parents were tailors that ran a small business in a small town, and were just two plain faces among the billion more worn by the citizens of the same country. It had seemed that Mei would be thrust into a life of mediocrity that would plague her for her entire life. After all, she was not physically strong or large, and though Mei's teachers had always considered her an exceptionally gifted child, it was not nearly enough to save her from her banal existence. Yet fate works in mysterious ways. In many aspects, being born into such an average life let het bare the fruit of her talents - at a very young age she learned that she yearned more; more of everything - power, wealth, influence. Ambition burned inside her, and at the age of twelve she ran away from home.
 
But how was a young girl like her, weak, alone, and talentless supposed to conquer the world on ambition alone? After living like a rat on the streets for several months, the answer came to her while watching a local gang terrorize a nearby shop owner. Power and strength were nothing but an illusion. Life was such that there is always someone stronger, or faster, or smarter. Knowledge and information was where true power lied, and if you didn't have that then all you needed was to seem that you did. And so, ten years of lying, cheating, and blackmailing her way through an imperfect system of government, she, as young as she was, found herself in charge of the heart of the local criminal underworld. But there had to be more, even she recognized that all her hard work only made him a big fish in a small pond. She needed to learn more, but alas, a bullet through the skull had ended her life.
