[OOC] Ascension: Monster Farm

[Rai]

This is where some monsters and such from Ascension can be battled against, trained or played with. OR you can simply just make monsters here that can be placed in the world. Though this may become a bit of a roleplay in the IC, it will be focused on the variety of monsters.

EDIT: THIS IS NOW A FULL FLEDGED RP.
Meant to still be about making various monsters, finding new monsters, taming them, battling with them, breeding them and so on. There is still a plot that will progress and a good amount of pvp and pve.

Nero / Vrondi

Twilight Town

A town best illuminated from dusk till dawn. Several homes rest here. The town is quiet and most business is done indoors. A weapon shop that specializes in silent projectiles and tools for hunting. A bar & inn named 'Dusk till Dawn'. A store specializing in herbal remedies and a doctor working within. Nightrider stables for swift transport throughout Nero. Dolofon second headquarters sits here in eerie silence. Tour guides for Nero's jungles await here for hefty pay to help people survive the trip into Nero's capital and back.

The simple town of Twilight. The bar and inn and the simple general stores reside infront of the well in the middle of town. The tour guides to Nero's capital and back reside to the west near the towns entrance and exit. Vrondi guards keep watch of this area but do so lightly. The presence of Nayu soldiers linger in and out every once in a while to keep the power over this simple place divided. Those who live here are mostly Sol but many of them have Nayu blood. Thus the town is home to the moonlight sorcerers and warriors, those who harbor both blood and commune at night in the light of the moon. Awakening rare spells and abilities that manipulate darkness and light.

Vrondi

Sunfire Town

A mother tree giving birth to a bustling town of carefree neighbors. Solar powered technology. A flame burns at its highest center, never ending, engrasped by tree limbs. Several homes sit on and within. A bar & inn named 'Rest Easy'. A store with remedies and food all of the plant variety. The headquarters of the Aion lay within as a adoption center while the Taxis heal within the temple.

First Floor
The first level. Homes of those who live in Sunfire. Most are workers and shop owners. Though a home is always available for purchase through the temple.

The second floor. Shops and other essential locations. The shops were open. The temple was busy with injured soldiers. The Taxis were there doing their healing and mending.

The third floor is a circular flat wooden area on top of the tree. This is where gatherings are held by the Taxis and is decorated with stone statues of king Vrondi and angelic beings holding candle lights. The fires here can be seen from miles away sometimes making the tree appear as if it is on fire from a distance.

Fotia

Blaze

Warm town high grade industrial technology. Gentle waters streaming down its center and used for alternate power. A working class town with busy machines mining and serving an array of functions. A warm mist surrounds this town. A bar & inn called 'Foggy Bottom'. Not hospitable homes as work is the priority. The head of material production for Advanced Apparatuses and their production is centered here.
The Town of Blaze. An industrial town that housed mostly Fotians. The other less rarely seen group are Gaians. The flow of earth and fire keeping the machines drilling into the ground both in sea and on land. A mist forming on the waters from the redirected lava flowing beneath its surface through pipes and directed to massive crude machines above the water and within that act as factories to heat metals and shape them for many different needs.

Fotia

Flare

Another warm town with a single crevice. Many homes and just about every shop and convenient building is located here. A bar & inn named 'Fire Den' is located here. Homes and simple convenient stores sit on the top. Within the crevice walls are more advanced shops and buildings. Deep below all lies the Therosi Headquarters. Unreachable to the common folk and shrouded in secrecy.

Gaia

Pearl

Mostly white clean fresh and aired place. A farming town growing fruits and vegetation. Their meats are met through hunting as the people of Gaia do not believe in capturing and imprisoning Dragons. The head quarters of the Merchants guild is here. The town is bustling with merchants and farmers work closely with them. A bar & inn named 'Savvan's Inn'.

Gaia

Onyx

Another bustling town identical to Pearl but with darker stone buildings and homes. Another Headquarters for the merchants guild where hunting is the focal point.

Tearia

Tide

A simple small town with buildings in high places. The guild of the Magoi resides here. Not many homes. The Lassa use the river to go to their capital and back.

Each Territory is broken into elements. Darkness is Nero, Light is Vrondi, Fire is Fotia, Earth & Wind is Gaia, Water is Tearia.

[Guy0fV4lor]

Armis Viventum

Appearance: An Armis looks like an animate suit of dragonplate armor, but on closer inspection, it is evident that it is actually a form of chitin. Each Armis starts it's life cycle as a single piece of finger armor, taking around two weeks to grow into a gauntlet, then about several months to reach the size of an arm. From there, it takes an Armis about five years to develop a torso, and then 2 years to complete the maturation process. Every ten years after reaching maturity the Armis' fingers fall off, beginning the cycle again. On the other hand, an Armis that bonds to a host will mature within two years after bonding.

Each individual Armis has it's own subtle uniqueness, no two the same. However, beyond that, it's looks are influenced heavily by either it's host, or the souls it has devoured, or a combination of the two.

Species name: Armis Viventum

Food source: In it's infancy, an Armis only survives off of ambient magics and microscopic organisms. However, once it grows to be the size of a torso, it begins feeding off residual soul essence, and once full grown, it hunts for prey, killing it with it's strength, and devouring it's prey's soul.

However, an Armis that has bonded to a host will survive strictly on it's host's magic throughout it's entire life cycle, but can still devour souls if it's host wills it so.

In the event an Armis cannot feed on souls, or magic energy, it will enter a state of suspended animation, ceasing it's growth, as well as halting all biological functions, until it once again is able to feed.

Size: Size and shape vary according to what souls they have most commonly been exposed to, but Armai always take the shape of a set of armor made to be worn by a descendant.

Natural abilities: All Armai that bond to a descendant gift their host with regeneration, as well as new, and increased abilities all around. Even with out a host, Armai have incredible regenerative capabilities, and their chitin is incredibly durable. Other abilities and traits are determined by the host they have bonded to, or by the souls they have devoured.

Additionally, the host of an Armis can manipulate their Armis' shape and form with enough practice and concentration.

Magical abilities: All magical abilities and traits (other than devouring souls) are completely dependent on the host they have bonded to, or by the souls they have devoured.

Usual Temperaments: Armai that have not developed a torso yet tend to be very docile and curious. However, Armai that have reached full maturity are reasonably intelligent, and have been even seen using spells and weaponry. Unfortunately this new intelligence is accompanied by a massive spike in aggression; any mature Armis that did not bond to a host only seeks to grow it's power.

How?

By devouring souls.

Locations Found: Armai are found in the area around the converging borders of Vrondi, Gaia, and Fotia.

Weakness: Armai that do not have a host hold a core in the center of their torso, that, if broken, kills the Armis.

Armai are also temporarily weakened by sonic attacks

Magical abilities: He has the ability to go invisible and reappear in other locations. He can't do it very far (so its not that op as in Alice in Wonderland). He can also shoot magic spells that do light damage that he is still learning how to perfect. He is also able to levitate that takes very little magical energy to do after years of practice.
Usual Temperaments: He is friendly and very charismatic. He sometimes even uses it to trick people into liking him or even avoid fighting him. Deep down he actually is very twisted when the time calls for it. He is always planning on how he can survive alone and not with other people but he uses them to his advantage, in a sense, while he can.
Locations Found: Mainly in Gaia for most of his life in the cities of Pearl and Onyx.
Weaknesses: His weakness is his size. Most monsters are always larger than him. Even though he can float he still has doubt in his ability to fight them and he suffers for it when its a huge size difference.
