@Zeroth still interested just working out the character still.

[Zeroth]

@Gareth
Sure you can join, just gotta get a character application in for me to approve!

@ReusableSword
Sure thing! No rush, at least not right now. I'll be pretty busy tomorrow and I'm about to go to bed, so the IC probably won't open up for a little while yet.

@Gareth No, Its a League of Legends referance

Eric

Image

Name:
Eric

Theme:
youtu.be/KaRZaZ5_LVU

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 decided 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.

Ardur

Name:

Ardur

Theme:

Andrews Song – End of Silence (youtu.be/--GloEz01Zo)

Gender:

Male

Species:

Pixie

Appearance:

Ardur looks like a small person with light fair skin, shoulder length green hair, Golden glimmering eyes, and wings that look similar to green leaves. A few things stand out on his person. There are three round dark spots on his chest and back. Also his hands are stained purple up to his wrists.

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.

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.

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.

Btw zeroth take a look thru this it has alot of monsters. chisaipete.github.io/bestiary

[Zeroth]

@Knox
Looks good, whenever you're ready he can go in the character tab!

@ReusableSword
No problem, I actually like longer backstories so long as they're not full of purple prose and don't read like Charles Dickens. Ardur is good to go, slap him in the characters tab!

I added the link to the discord in the first OOC post, although it doesn't stand out much there at the bottom. Like I said before I'll probably have a long workday, but if I can I'll either get the IC started or at least start handing out the "carry over" skills later tonight or maybe early tomorrow.

[UltraCraftGames]

Sounds good zero. I also got you a spell index and a psionics list. What im showing you really isnt required just some material you can use.
Spells dnd-spells.com/spells Here if we want psychic abilities d20srd.org/indexes/psionicPowerList.htm

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Zeroth

Heeey, not sure if it's just me but the discord link doesn't work.

[UltraCraftGames]

I updated it for you discord.gg/TNmzEG

[Zeroth]

@Kazemitsu@Gobby@King Cosmos@UltraCraftGames@Duoya@Knox@Guy0fV4lor@Tatsu@Rune_Alchemist@ReusableSword@Gareth@Renny

Okay everyone, I'm back from work earlier than I thought! So I'm sure I'll be able to get at least one of these done tonight, but since we're still waiting on a few players to make their characters I wanted to ask which one you guys want first:

Do you want me to go ahead and make the opening post in the IC?

Or do you want me to hand out the Past Life skills first?

[Duoya]

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Zeroth

I think handing out past life skills first would be a pretty good idea, only because it'd let us think about them a little more.

Really though, I have no strong feelings one way or another and am being wholly unhelpful to the situation xD

[ReusableSword]

@Zeroth
personally I think flushing out the characters and getting the rest of their skills in would be better. that way we know what we are working with for our posts.

[Guy0fV4lor]

@Zeroth I'd like to receive carry-over skills first

[Gobby]

@Zeroth I'm redoing my character a bit and will report for reacceptance, so my vote goes to the IC post lol.

[Tatsu]

@Zeroth also I'm voting for the IC post. ^ w ^

Nathanial Haddix was 30 when he woke up in the hospital with no recollection of how he got there, or who he is. The doctor said that he was in a car accident and was lucky to be alive. Nathanial didn’t remember any of this he couldn’t remember anything. Apparently, he lost his memory because he hit his head when the car crashed. Luckily someone said they knew him and took him in. For a while, he lives this new life with no memory of what he was before. Then after a decade of living this false life, he was caught in another accident. In a shooting at his work palce, he was shot and every menory that he had lost came rushing. He had another life, a life that was far different from the one he was living. He had another family, kids, a totally different life that he was never going to get back.

@Tatsu
Looks good, put them in whenever you're ready!

@Kazemitsu@Gobby@King Cosmos@UltraCraftGames@Duoya@Knox@Guy0fV4lor@Tatsu@Rune_Alchemist@ReusableSword@Gareth@Renny
Sorry for the wait everyone, I went ahead and started working on both of them, and lost track of time! But at least this way maybe I've done the impossible and pleased everybody?

As I list out the skills, I'm going into "demon king" mode--the things I write about each character are NOT my personal opinions, they're from the Demon King himself. So don't feel like I'm downing anyone's character with all his edginess or anything, okay?

Past Life Skills

Well well well, look what we have here? Some of you have led very interesting lives...others not so much, but hey, every little bit counts, right? But no matter what abilities you'll find you still have--whether it be the knowledge of a memory, or a translation of practice into power--remember that I don't allow "cheats" and I don't give a crap how "talented" you think you are. You can consider these nothing more than...good genetics. Getting lucky.

It won't mean squat if you can't do something with it.

@Kazemitsu
You're used to just pushing through the pain, aren't you? A handy thing in some cases. But pain is there to remind you how weak you are. It tells you when it's time to pull back, to try something different. There's a difference between resilience, and just plain stubborn.

Skill Gain: 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. If you’re not careful it might end up just like before...

@UltraCraftGames
Even by some standards in this world, it seemed like you had a pretty shit life, eh? Amazing, how "advanced" and "enlightened" your precious Earth seemed to me at first. Yet places like that still exist. Perhaps they will always exist.

Skill Gain: Keen Sight I - Your eyesight is sharper than normal, both in terms of distance and in details. At this low rank, it’s essentially better than 20/20 level for each eye, though not quite superhuman.

@Duoya
Well now, aren't you just mister perfect? By all accounts you did everything right. Studied hard, a doctor, helping mankind's furry friends...why wouldn't a woman want someone like that? Do you think...maybe she saw through the act?

Skill Gain: 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. NOTE: You can’t see their stats, abilities, or weaknesses, you’ll just gain some “generalized” information at this level.

Skill Gain: 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.

@Knox
By all accounts, rather plain, weren't you? But you know what? You considered yourself to be "happy." Or at least "happier." In a way, I think that makes you quite unique. On both our worlds.

Skill Gain: Plant Analysis I - Both of these flowers look pretty, but the guidebook says one of them will kill you. Your past hiking and camping has granted you some basic field knowledge of botany. At this rank, using this skill only grants you “generalized” information.

@Guy0fV4lor
Ah. Power, control, savagery...A man after my own heart in many ways. Maybe that's not high praise to you, though. I wonder, did you recognize one of those other souls I gathered up? Of course not. I bet you don't remember how many breads you've eaten either.

Skill Gain: Warcry I - 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.

@Tatsu
...Wait, you had a husband and kids...but you're also a man? How...does that mean...Where do they put...

I now have far more questions about your world.

Skill Gain: Targeting I - Your mind may have once forgotten, but did you ever notice the twitch in your finger, the darting of your eye? The lingering feeling of warm metal and the smell of burning powder? The memories of muscles, reflexes honed through long hours at the range, cannot be taken by amnesia. Your attacks are slightly more accurate.

@Rune_Alchemist
A researcher, eh? And tell me, just how much good did those high marks and all that knowledge do you? What did you sacrifice? Time, relationships, health...Was it worth it? I sincerely want to hear your answer.

Skill Gain: Alchemy I - 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.

Skill Gain: 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. If you’re not careful it might end up just like before...

@ReusableSword
From what I understand about this "paramedic," you have seen a great deal of death and suffering. I wonder if the many tragedies about to befall you will seem tame by comparison?

Skill Rank Up: Minor Heal II - Your dedication to helping and healing others in your past life, and your medical knowledge gained from being a paramedic, means your healing magic is more effective.

@Renny
You don't learn to fight from books, boy. You wanted to be a Hero? Hahaha...I hope you make it to my Palace. We could have quite the discussion about Heroes.

Skill Gain: 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.

The Demon King

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone, I know I didn't include Gobby since he said he was working on his character again.

IC will be up shortly!
