^{TL;DR:
Genre: JRPG/very anime/manga fantasy adventure with light sci-fi elements
Tone: Straightforward adventure that's self-aware and
will have goofy or slight tongue-in-cheek elements
Posting reqs: Casual only!}

Hello there, and welcome to my RP! It is a fantasy story and setting with some slight sci-fi elements and an anime/manga flavor informing it. And maybe some video games too. Nothing really in specific but I would say that I’m more on comic and shows I watched over games and some other stuff that will be my secret sauce to that hamburger parts that are the rest of the elements. This RP will be straightforward in that it has a defined story and ending.

It’ll be focused on the group and the various plot points that will propel them along a journey. So expect, action, drama, maybe romance, fights, mysterious ruins, and crystals! Regarding tone, the plot will be standard stuff you'd expect. And because of that, there's gonna be a certain self-awareness and a bit of tongue-in-cheek elements, since even subverting stuff would be passé, mixed some other silliness. Anyway, the point of is this just to say despite goofy stuff, this isn't a parody.

You’ll be playing character who by fate, happenstance, or whatever you want to call it become bound together on a journey. Many challenges await you, some to be defeated by blade, shot, or magic. While others might require other skills. But the most important thing is your teammates. You might not be all friends, but at the end of the day you’re still gonna be in a group. And a group is sometimes the secret weapon that will see you through many challenges.

Opening Blurb

They say in the legends of some long-lost peoples, that long ago, the world was connected into four realms. One was this planet and the other being the three other moons. Their names being Etus, Vinetroza, and Torba. This period of unity was when the world was referred to as “The Beads of Creation” or “Pazgas’ pearls” depending on the area and their religion.

However, like all other mythical golden ages, this would soon face its fall. One such legend was that of an evil being appearing. It had great power and with its magic it severed the links between worlds and left all the moons barren. Unfortunately, what this entity was called is a frustrating mystery. A literal fragment exists of this story and the name is completely illegible save for a couple of letters, TCGNL. But whatever this is just ancient fairy tales isn’t it?

Well somewhat, Torba’s existence is the closest thing to lending credence to that myth. But it isn’t considered a moon due to its odd behavior which only makes it more mysterious. It bobs down to the planet and creates a “tower” which allows visitation. All explorations come off inconclusive in finding evidence of large civilizations. However, visitation is brief due to monsters and lack of interest funding a long term and large exploration.

The other moons according to observation via tools are completely barren. This story and other similar stories are believed to be a fanciful imagining of some unknown period in the past when peoples may have roamed on these distant heavenly bodies.

Setting Blurb

As mentioned above, there are three moons. Torba ahs already been discuses, so let us get to the other moons. Vineztroza is the second moon and sparkles with a bluish light. It is known to have a watery surface but nothing else is known about it. Etus is a distant reddish ball and that’s all that’s known about it. Torba’s odd behavior will elaborated here a bit more.

Like all moons on this planet they don’t orbit in a manner like they do on Earth in the real world. Torba does an odd bobbing thing where it will get close and eventually get close to this planet where its teal aura will create a rain that crystallizes into a structure that can be used to access Torba. This happens every 40 months and the connection lasts a couple of weeks which vary by a couple of days.

Now our planet is called Artanna. Artanna is a great and colorful world filled with all sorts of wonders and oddities be it natural or otherwise. From chilly expansive mountain ranges, verdant forests and jungles, roaring oceans, and the multitudinous plant and animal life.

It is also time of great ambiguity. On one hand it is a world that has entered a revolution of sorts. Many decades ago explorers found the long-lost Capital City of Novalina of the Ba’chatta Empire and found intact writing from one of Emperor’s who had written a treatise on Orjon energy. This let them reconstruct some lost ancient knowledge involving magic which then spurned a revolution as magic access became much more accessible, which in turned spurned technological progress.

Yet all is not well, as there are signs of something ominous at foot. Monster sightings and attacks have been noted to be increasing and other wildlife appear to be getting agitated. Hushed whispers amongst the Grand Council of Magi Scholars in the Country of Kyos speak of some strange magical energy that was previously undetected floating through the aether. Perhaps emanating from some ruins that was recently discovered or that it is the result of ley lines being tampered after recent seismic activity on the islands of Dolmos.

Other noteworthy locations are:

Gashpun: A region that could be called the homeland of the Limusians. It is a very popular tourist destination in the world. The reasons for it being both the unique architecture of the species, as well as their various foodstuffs produced by their bodies. Popular with the Chitonians.

Arsolona: Capital city of the Largartijin country. It boasts also a great Mage College that rivals both in quality and size the one in Kyos. It is a place of great wonder and learning, as well as shenanigans from drunken wizard undergrads. Has a glorified museum/library building on the campus.

Gabir: Also known as the City of Adventure or The City of Weirdos depending on who you're asking. This city was originally just a lonely outpost of a then nascent Adventurer's Guild with a village surrounding it. Now it's a large, busy, and thriving metropolis filled with lots of Guild members and would-be guild hopefuls.

Vespa valley: Site to one of the many famous martial arts tournaments, this one is known as the Superb Fist challenge when translated into common from Chitonian. Speaking of Chitonians, it is site to the beetle sub-type and many creches can be found along with dojos.

Races

Races

Moving on from places, let's talk about what you can play as. It's pretty much all aesthetic and you have two options. One is you can make a short writeup and make a race up and send it for approval. One thing to note is I dislike your standard fantasy races, so there will only be allowed one to exist. Anyway, don't overthink too much on like details for them, this a jrpg adventure about saving the world, so super complex and deep lore on the critters isn't really on the menu. Anyway, the list below are the more common races in the world.

Hider

Humans- They come in all sort of shapes and sizes. By far the most numerous of the races. ‘Nuff said.

Hider

Largartijin- They’re mammalian dragon people. They both sport scale and have fuzz on their tail tips and near the ends of their limbs and hair on their heads. Speaking of heads, they also grow horns that either are gnarled or spiral or curve. They also are more magically inclined to the point that the great Orjon development while not completely useless was nowhere near as revolutionary to them. One of their special magics is their ability to sing in magical language native to their kind to inscribe symbols into crystals.

They are a cosmopolitan species found damn near everywhere other people are. Due to their innate magical nature they are in demand as scholars or mages in various employments, such as the adventurer’s guild or the various magic colleges for example. However, martially inclined Largar are also able to do just fine. There is a tradition of pure warriors and spell warriors as well running around the world.

Hider

Chitonians- A race of sapient vaguely hominid insects. They like to live closer to the wilderness although they can be found elsewhere. There are different types of them. There is the cricket/grasshopper sub-type and a beetle sub-type. The beetle types tend to have creches for their offspring until they reach their first molt. At which point they are then able to be mobile and taught further aspects of life and what not. The grasshopper types don’t as their offspring comes without needing to be tended to like the beetles.

Both types have a very developed martial arts culture. There are innumerable schools and styles. They like to name their styles after insects and some of their styles have been adapted for other races. They also like their food and booze. They are fond of wines as well as consuming fermented fruit.

Hider

Limusians- One of the most diverse and colorful race of the world. They are sapient slimes and despite lacking damn near everything most animals have they carry on quite well. Slimes are capable of a soft shape shifting which with practice or magic augmenting it, can last longer and be more complex. Despite lacking bones and muscles, they can pack quite a punch, as they too also have their own unique martial art specific to the species.

Limusians have very characteristic settlements that seem to be made of hardened material their bodies are made of while also incorporating other building materials. Limusians and the Chitonians share a very close and friendly relationship. The reason for it, is food. By engulfing food into their bodies and sometimes mixed with other ingredients, they can produce foodstuffs that are delicacies. Limusian candied fruits are artisanal delicacy.

Hider

Chups- Very similar to humans save for their ears or other additional headgear. Said features are based off animals and have given all sort of mythological origin stories. One such being about the quest of an Ibex who in love with a human princess goes on a quest to rescue her, recruiting other animal companions. The Gods taking pity on its quest eventually bless the Ibex and its companions with human forms thus creating the first of the Chups.

The Chups themselves say they come from the moons and that humanity is the one that comes from them. They say after the great cataclysm the link they have to their animalistic totems became severed and thus sprung forth regular humans. Others speculate magic experiments gone awry or natural mutation from magical energies.

Regardless, the Chups are more or less the same as humans. A Human and Chup pairing is capable of producing viable offspring. Whether the child looks pure or human or not seems to be up to chance. What separates Chups from humans are certain cultural things. One being their own Lunar worship with a bunch of different holidays based on alignments and whatnot. The other being their own vast lore reproduced in various forms of art, such as dance, poetry, and song. They also have a history of alchemy being the first to conceive of the practice.

Hider

Constructs- This is a catchall term for any artificially animated being. They can be either magitech robots to something akin to golems being animated by either the soul of something or spirit bound to it.

Hider

Dogs- They are also found everywhere and working everyone. They’re renowned for their mercenary groups around the world, as well as having a fair amount of famous warrior, and thieves. There are rumors that somewhere hidden in the world is a secret training village where the finest warriors are trained in the way of fighting and being sneaky.

In this world all dogs are sapient creatures capable of speech. However physically they resemble any mundane dog breed. They are also capable of employing weapons and tools despite lacking the grasping digits for it. Many a skilled smith of their kind can be found in the employ of the guild or other groups outfitting their fellow species or other races as well.

---

Tech

As mentioned above, there’s some sci-fi stuff going on. So that means that the setting isn’t your usual vaguely medieval fantasy. True to form, everything’s all schizophrenic and runs on rule of cool. So basically, nothing makes sense and don’t think about it too hard.

What this means for weapons is that you can have guns alongside your sword user and it'll fit. Just replace technobabble with mystic gibberish and you’re good to go. Also I want to take time to make a brief aside, this being rule of cool and animu as hell means that PCs (player characters) are competent enough to break physics and dodge and or parry shots. This also applies to certain tiers of NPCS as well.

Melee users don’t feel left out, due to the rediscovery of new Orjon channeling techniques, there’s also materials and parts your weapon can be made of that will either grant it like abilities to cast magic or some other gimmick.

---

Magic

In his RP there are two distinctions between magic. One is magic as like a set of various abilities and utility type stuff under a theme like fire control. This would go in the listing as skills in the character sheet. The other one is magic as a form of doing stuff in combat and this ranges from say zapping stuff to using your summoning ability to use your critters to fight stuff to supportive magics as well. This would go under your fighting moves section.

Anyway, there are some magic that will be non-existent for various reasons. No time traveling/manipulation, no cosmic fuckery type magic, no hell magic, healing magic is allowed but straight up rezzing is something that will be expensive to do, so you don't really want to rely on it too much.

---

---

Other Stuff

---

---

Regarding fighting ability you’ll “level” up at certain points and be able to improve existing moves, or gain new moves or perhaps stuff like a supermode or big flashy super move.

There will be a discord to use:discord.gg/WU9YBGx
I’m looking for a co-gm to help out with this so slide into my DMs.

Rules & stuff for the RP are as follows:

• Standard casual and guild rules apply here
• I can be accommodating towards things like races or background things like countries, religions, organizations, etc. If it works, it works if not then we can try working on it till it works but it might have to be rejected outright.
• With regards to deaths/killing things off if it’s an NPC there will be something to alert you whether or not the “flag” is on. Should there be a situation involving PCs GM arbitration will apply
• Only one character per user for now
• Only one token edgelord allowed
• If you’re unable to post or need to drop, please let us know in advance instead of flaking.
• Fun is mandatory

That being all done, here's the CS which you can fancy up at your own discretion.

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Race:[/b]
[b]Sex:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b] Picture or description or even both! I don't care.

Kyros, the Phoenix Dawn

Name: Kyros

Race: Ifrit

The Elemental Races were made as part of genetic manipulation of elemental magics into biological organisms. While the initial tests were all seen as barbaric, there was a secret society that continued conducting the experiments. Eventually they found some successes and eventually the new type of humanoid came to light. The public opinion was mixed.
While these elementals had some differences biologically and some magical aspects, they didn't just shoot or control their element but instead personified it in other ways.
Ifits were designed to be the soldiers, their bodies burning hot with passion and an instinctive need to compete and destroy. They resemble humans that are either bright yellows to orange, to red, or bronze to charcoal black in skin tone. Their hair and cracks on their skin resemble burning fire or molten magma. This army of super soldiers lasted about as long as the first battle before they turned on their generals, wanting freedom more than anything else. As a culture, the Ifrit exist in small groups or family units and tend to be nomadic, even if it just means moving from one part of a city to another. Their cultural identities seem to change from one family to another. They make not only good soldiers but rather brilliant artists, metal workers, and entertainers, whose outward passions actually allow them to create rather than destroy. They do not do so great in the cold and water makes them sluggish. They also need to eat more than a normal human. On the flipside they resist the heat and are stronger and faster than normal humans.

Sex: Male

Sex: 19

Appearance:

Kyros stands a towering 6'2" of rippling muscle. Kyros wears a selection of martial arts Gi's which he intentionally rips and tatters, very very old fashioned which makes him stand out in the crowd. It's kind of the point. He tries to look like the super hero The Phoenix Dawn from a series of comic books he came across. Much like the character, Kyros has a habit of showing off his muscles. If he could find a decent red cape, he'd probably wear it to. He shuns the use of weapons, the closest he'd probably get is brass knuckles or guantlets and weighted boots.

Backstory:

Kyros was forged in battle, and tempered in blood. He doesn't remember his parents. Whether he was sold, or kidnapped, or just forgotten, it just never really mattered to him. All he remembers is the brutal world of the arena. He and other children his age were only taught the barest of education before the rest of their day was intended for hellish combat exercises and bone breaking sparring drills. Kyros was a natural. He took to the adrenaline and the thrist for battle like it was his true calling. He would charge in, sometimes casting aside his blade and turn even a proper sparring duel into a bloody brawl, the fire in his eyes and hair igniting like a bonfire to enhance and entrance the experience. He did it for his sponsors and trainers, his fellow gladiators, all of whom he thought of as family. Mostly though, he did it for glory. For the fame and accalades of an appeased crowd. It was in their eyes that he felt alive, that he felt like something the world needed to acknowledge. Maybe it was a bit of defiance for his lot in life.

By his teens, he was an arena name and would commonly be pitted against heroes seeking to get some of the prizes the arena offered. Sometimes he won, sometimes he lost, but whenever he was on a line up, it always drew a crowd. Kyros hated to lose, and would often go into dangerous sulks, destroying training equipment in the process. His keepers tried to placate him as best they could. Girls, Alcohol, Drugs... even to a teen these things were tempting and there was no such thing as law in the arena. However it was a simple set of comic books that would change Kyros' life.

Almost like he found a hero, a father figure, it was a character, Phoenix Dawn, a human who had unmatched strength and fighting spirit. He struck out and challenged monsters and villains and made the world a better place one punch at a time. Kyros was awe-inspired. It completely changed his goals, his personality, his outlook on life.

His hands, his weapons, they could make things better for people. The books showed him rather idealistic world outside the arena walls and also made him aware of how 'evil' his keepers were. Kyros began his training, using the comic books as training aides in an attempt to develop the style the book had shown. It should have been impossible, but he was able to tap into his own mana and mold it in ways no one known has tried before, developing his own martial arts style. Upon learning to increase his power beyond his limits, he fought for his freedom and broke out, swearing to one day return and tear down the arena with his own hands after destroying the slave traders that filled it with young stolen warriors.

He's been a mercenary vigilante ever since. Hero for hire.

He has the occasional run in with crime bosses, corrupt officials, nihilistic mages, and other villains. There are alot of people going after his head, both lawful and unlawful elements but he seems to appreciate the notoriety and the challenge. He wants to be a symbol that there is no army big enough or door strong enough to keep him from dispensing justice. Going after one such 'untouchable' crime lord was how he met his companion Euterpe, and since then, he has been thinking of forming a mercenary company.

Personality:

Bombastic, larger than life, and fully believing he is doing the right thing. Kyros is stubborn, self-sure, and given to the idea of the superhero style and disposition. He is often times to loudest in the room, and fully taken to being in to spotlight and the attention he gets. In the field, he is direct, hard hitting, and prone to being the front line powerhouse. He will most assuredly go out of his way to protect others and bring swift justice to the villainous. He is a team player, but often views others as liabilities. They are not as strong, or as tough, but he doesn't openly complain, saving them brings him glory and reaffirms his already massive ego. He isn't a hero. He is THE HERO! The one that everyone should strive to be. His obnoxious, holier than though, goody goody boy scout antics no doubt gets on others nerves, but Kyros always means well. Outside of the front lines, Kyros is a gentle giant and a lovable idiot. He will attempt to always cheer up others and encourage them to always improve. He loves nothing more than a day well spent and then relaxing with his companions, swapping stories and talking about the future.

On the flip side, He is naive, ignorant, and gullible, thus he can be manipulated easily. His wild passions can lead him to a burning furious anger, and for someone as strong as he is, that can lead to a lot of collateral damage. Still, quick to anger, quick to forgive. His personality is that of a roaring campfire, all or nothing. He needs others to reign in his wrath. When he finds friends or those willing to help him, he treats them like family, and when he has that, there is literally no limits to how far he would go for them.

Skills:

Kyros' expertise and speciality are completely dedicated to martial arts and wrestling. Having been an underground pit fighter, his style is as showy as it is effective. Out of this tough and brutal mode of hand to hand combat, Kyros developed an surprisingly esoteric martial art he calls the Shining Phoenix Style. This martial arts style can also employ unconventional weapons, utilizing things like bar stools, musical instruments, road signs, bicycles, vending machines, etc to great effect.

He has also developed some tactical skills when it comes to combat, knowing the eb and flo of a battle and how to use the environment and his opponents strengths and composure to his advantage. The environment also becomes his weapon as his brawling style has no semblance of a disciplined honorable warrior.

Kyros had also developed a pretty good arm and is capable of chucking items with devastating precision and power.

In his travels, Kyros has picked up a fair bit of useful skills. He can command a room with his presence, inspiring others to greatness or trying to convince them what the righteous path might be, condemning those who take advantage of others. He also developed a keen eye for cause and effect and how it pertains to society. Sometimes slugging some thugs won't fix the problem, sometimes you have to go after the bosses who hide behind their money and walls of concrete.

Other than that, he's pretty unskilled when it comes to technology or anything complicated. He knows a few things, but he just isn't very intelligent. He views those who build, craft, understand, and teach with the upmost respect, mainly because his skill set is so limited.

Abilities:

Golden Fists of Battle (Enhancement-Lvl 2)- Roaring with all the fire of the immortal Phoenix, Kyros's body surges with the power of the sun! This enhancement actually lights his fists and feet in golden fire and gives him a bright aura. While under its effects, Kyros has the strength to perform legendary feats. He can leap a mile in any direction landing without harm, punch a hole through an airship's steel hull, and tear lesser object in two with his bare hands. Using this power, Kyros has become a bane to the wicked everywhere, a regular superman to dispense cleansing light! This power lasts only for a particular battle and at it's conclusion, his mana spent he cannot use any of his other abilities until he rests.

Hurl to the Horizon (Technique-Lvl 1)- Distant foes are but cowards before the Phoenix as the earth before its claws become its weapon. Kyros may use this ability to pick up an object and throw them. This defies physics in such a way that would make it impossible for the object to support its own weight. For instance, a car lifted by its bumper would simply rip the bumper off. Not with this technique, that whole car is taking to the sky. Any object Kyros can lift, can be thrown up to a mile, the whole thing.

Skin of Iron Technique (Enhancement-Lvl 1)- The power of the Phoenix is not in its muscles but in the fire that surrounds it's body. None may harm it and mar its splendor. Concentrating on his own mana, Kyros' skin takes the toughness of armor plating without hindering his movements in any way. This ability needs to be activated, and thus he is not armored all the time.

Foe Scattering Shockwave (Technique-Lvl 1)- Armies cannot stop the Phoenix or the Dawn. Those who try are washed away for their impudence. With a clap, smashing the ground, or someones face, the blow reverberates in a shockwave up to 20 meters. This could knock foes down or back, and causes a great deal of damage to the environment.

Inventory:

Kyros has to eat alot, so he barely has more money than maybe lasting from week to week. Other than that, his backpack contains some snacks, a bedroll, his comic books, some of his trophies from battle, his canteen, and occasionally a flask of something particularly unhealthy for him. He lives a rather spartan lifestyle.

Theme song: The Phoenix

Misc:

Kyros follows the mercenary and hero lifestyle because he believes its the only thing he is really good at. He understands the irony that his ability to bring pain and suffering to the wicked doesn't really make the world any better, so he's open to trying other things. He's hoping his reputation would stop a fight before it starts but he tries desperately to do anything that keeps people from being too afraid of him. He needs the social acknowledgement. He tries not to kill anymore, a very difficult challenge he accepts.

Relationship sheet:

Euterpe Joyfalls his ever stalwart companion on his quest to bring Justice to the villains of the Moons. Euterpe keeps him on his feet and grounded even as he protects her and teaches her to be more assertive. They are polar opposites in terms of personalities, but he treats her like his best friend, commonly taking advantage of her meekness to share a playful jabs but he knows her better than she thinks and understand she needs a light touch. She is smarter than him after all. Alot of his happiest recent memories is sitting with her on some high scenic venue, eating ice cream, and talking about music.

This looks like great fun and I'm up for joining, I'll try and get a character sheet up and pop into the discord at some point today.

Transferred over from the Int. Check.

CS

"Sometimes you have to find the trouble, other times it finds you, kid. Either way, you don't go in blind, yeah?"

Name
"Name's Voss. Weiland Voss. Pleasure's all mine, truly."

Race
"Human as human comes, despite the jokes I get some days."
Human

Age
"Just old enough to have been around the block a few times."
In his late forties.

Sex
"What, five o'clock shadow and general build don't give it away?"
Male

Appearance
"Whatcha see is whatcha get kid, lookin's usually free after all."
Weiland Voss is just about six foot even, assuming he isn't slouching or otherwise lower than his natural standing height would indicate, which tends to often be the case. Beneath the traveling coat and harness he wears, he has an extremely lean build, all wire like, lean muscles and very little fat on his bones at all. His attire is based out of his profession and research of choice, the coat hiding the magitech infused harness and bodysuit that reinforces his capabilities and helps protect him to a marginal degree. Beyond this, he doesn't actively conceal anything he bears, arms wise, though he readily could. The large handled blade typically rests in a sheath along the base of his back, while the pistol has a hip holster that it resides in whenever not in use.

Backstory:
"Me? Well kid, I'll keep it brief. The good stuff would make this take far longer."
Born the son of a magicians guild blacksmith, Weiland Voss was working with both arcane and mundane tools before he was even walking, sitting by his father's side while he worked, fascinated by the integration of the focusing crystals into arms and armor. While he lacked any sort of conventional magical talent or gifts, it was his natural obsession and focus on magitech that garnered the eyes of the guild leaders. With his father's blessings, he was taken into the militant arm of the guild, who utilized magitech heavily to make up for their usual lack of arcane prowess compared to the main guild magicians. He excelled, though he quickly grew bored with just sitting around playing guard for the guildhall in question. As such, once he had the means to, he struck out on his own with little forewarning. Not bothering to keep in touch with his peers, Weiland ranged out into the world on his own, without any sort of expressed goal. He pretty much operated as a sellsword, offering his skills in the wilds as well as his magitech enhanced capabilities to whomever would pay him. He preferred jobs that took him out into the wilds and the unknown, or gave him contact with other sources of magitech that he could further study and add to his running journals on alternate styles and approaches to something he had been born and raised with. The young man certainly grew older, though his constant adventuring and sell sword ways did not grow old on Weiland, simply causing him to seek out grander, more involved, and inherently more dangerous jobs and taskings. It would only be natural for him to always be heading towards where the next big discovery was found or, if he was lucky, where it would be. Who knows, along the way he might have stories to share with fellow travelers heading the same way he was, and maybe get some problems sorted out as he wandered.

Personality
"Wait and see kiddo, just you wait and see."
Weiland is very much a rather relaxed, calm fellow in even the most extreme of situations, known for making the odd flippant remark or otherwise keeping a level head amidst any sort of chaos, even humming a song apparently absentmindedly while on the road. Often times, perhaps due to his typically older age, he often refers to others as "kids" or "kiddo", though often times he is just poking fun and is hardly serious. When necessary, Weiland is blunt about a situation, not one for mincing words and wasting time when something needs to get done in a hurry. This can be offensive in word, but as far as Weiland is concerned, as long as he gets the message across, its fine. In regards to morality, he tends to be decidedly grey, doing what he has to in a given situation without losing any sleep over it, but he also seems to understand how some of his actions could be considered unsavory or otherwise unpleasant. Once he has decided to dig his heels in, sometimes literally, getting him to budge is often not worth the trouble, as he has finally decided that something just needs to be done. Whether or not the other parties involved might be pleased with this outcome, however, is another matter completely. Add in a wanderlust that originally drove him to leave his home and guild to wander the world, and he isn't comfortable just sitting around in any one given area for too long, much preferring to simply move on once he's seen what's worth seeing in a given area.

Of course, his outlook tends to give Weiland trouble operating in a team setting, far too used to operating on his own out of necessity. That calm and level head suppresses a rather dark temper, slow to build up and very slow to simmer down, and often times forges grudges that are rarely forgotten, and even more rarely forgiven without due vengeance taken. Add in his generally blunt, tactless means of reporting information and opinions, he can sometimes come across as hard to get along with. Not intentionally, mind you, but it is known to happen often enough to be noted.

Skills
"Sword and pistol ain't just for show, trust me. Besides, wouldn't make it this far if all I could do was hit something really hard."
-Paired Weapon Fighting-
True to his claims, Weiland's main show of force in a combat situation is his paired heavy sword and pistol (The details of each expanded on in his inventory). He has a great deal of experience in using the sword as both a defensive tool, shielding himself from incoming blows he cannot avoid, as well as lashing out against anyone within range of the hefty blows. The pistol is mostly used to distract and force opponents to react before they might be ready, the rounds not carrying as much power as a full sized firearm that someone else might use. Flexibility is the key to his fighting style, adapting to the changing events rather than attempting to force them into his own narrow views. Force the enemy to play to their weaknesses whenever he can, in other words.

-Situational Awareness-
Being almost always out in the wilds and scouting means that Voss often cannot afford to be caught unawares. If he isn't actively scouting out ahead or behind any group he is traveling with, he is at least scanning and keeping an eye on things that are going on. He has made it a habit of being inconspicuous of such things, since he is aware of the fact most people tend to not take kindly to being listened in or otherwise spied on. He is quick to notice out of place or otherwise unusual disturbances in their surroundings, chalking it up to an acquired sixth sense or 'gut instinct' though, as is often the case, not all bad feelings are necessarily true. But he trusts them all the same, it never hurts to be cautious.

-Singing Voice-
Despite appearances, Weiland has a rather impressive range and the ability to keep to a tune or rhythm. Often times breaking up the monotony of a long walk or march with a hummed tavern tune or sung marching cadence, its something that he is sheepishly proud of. After all, not everyone can hold a tune while they sing, and even if it isn't useful in a fight, not everything has to be focused on one's ability to stay alive in a brawl or outright war, after all.

-First Aid-
Out alone in the woods, or after a major battle, there often isn't a healer readily available for a variety of reasons, whether it be isolation or overloaded capacity of injured patients. As such, Weiland has learned how to treat injuries without any sort of magic, namely in getting someone stabilized so that proper healers and doctors can tend to the injured person once they are available. In a pinch, he can also move the wounded with little trouble, knowing how to move them safely if the situation demands it. This certainly is of no use in the heat of a fight, and is more meant for after fights or stumbling across traps the hard way.

-Magitechnican-
After years of maintaining his own gear and improving on it, coupled with a childhood surrounded with the stuff, Weiland considers himself an expert on a great deal of mechanisms and tricks in regards to magitech, including their operation and maintenance. Though he is more familiar with the arms and armor that magitech has spawned, he has the know how to puzzle out more obscure or civil magitech, though it may take him some time to do so if he lacks the tools or proper surroundings to do so. He also has a fascination with foreign magitech, even if the owners in question don't refer to it as such, and will go to lengths to see about studying it and adding it to his journal of notes and encountered ideas.

Abilities
"Whoever coined the idea that old dogs having trouble with new tricks is full of it."
-Energy Discharge (Conduit Blade Lvl.1)-
With each strike of the heavy blade, or in a pinch channeling mana from Weiland's surroundings into the crystal, the weapon builds up mana and charges the weapon, increasing the striking force with the stored mana. In a pinch, he can discharge the stored energy in the crystal, the effects changing with the movements of the blade. Stationary, it produces a directional blast of blinding energy, typically unable to reach someone unless they were in knife fighting range, though the light produced can disorientate or blind foes from a fair distance away. A thrust generates the farthest reaching blast, a focused lance of mana that, while highly effective against armor, is remarkably easy to avoid due to its focused point. Lastly, a slash generates a rather generic sword beam, the middle ground in range and damaging potential between its three primary discharge types, though this does make it a useful jack of all trades ability if he needs it. The currently installed focusing crystal in the blade has a limit on its power, meaning that alternative crystals could create alternate effects if properly introduced.

-Barrier Counter (Conduit Blade Lvl.1)-
While the blade itself serves well enough as a shield against most commonplace attacks or projectiles, there are times where Weiland just needs to outright stop an attack beyond his means to simply block or deflect. Venting off any charged energy beforehand, Weiland braces himself and brings his sword into a guarding stance, aiming to absorb the brunt of the incoming attack. Absorbing up to a certain threshold of energy from the attack, the absorbed energy can then be used to either lash out at the offending party who struck at him to begin with, or be explosively discharged against the rest of the attack if his sword's focusing crystal couldn't absorb all the energy being transferred to help stop the rest of the attack. A hit of sufficient strength will simply overwhelm the defensive posture, so gauging how strong an attack is necessary to avoid using this at the wrong time.

-Volatile Volley (Crystalline Repeater Lvl.1)-
Typically meant for putting a target out of commission in a hurry, Voss can trigger a cascade of mana from the charging crystal in his repeater and empty the entire weapon in one shot, bypassing the safety measures meant to prevent such things from accidentally happening. The shot in question lacks cohesion, unable to travel very far, though the impact it carries is impressive and capable of knocking a man sized target a noteworthy distance away and leave them dazed and reeling, assuming they survive the initial blast. The longer the Repeater was used prior to this, the less potent the shot as part of the crystal's charge has already been used. Much like his other gear, alternate focusing crystals could drastically change the effects of the gear.

-Arcane Mobility System (Personal Rig Lvl.1)-
A highly temperamental, experimental, and high maintenance system, the AMS effectively allows Voss to control his movements in situations that would otherwise leave him unable to act. The focusing crystals explosively discharge mana, launching Voss in the desired direction or adding extra impact behind the blows. The current focusing crystals are of generic make and, while more specialized crystals would allow for more focused activities, they would also limit the other effects the AMS allows for. As of right now, he has limited use of this system during prolonged fights, as the self charging crystals are slow to charge immediately after use and do not receive mana well when forced. This merely amplifies the agility and maneuverability of its user, rather than grant it, so it is still reliant on the reflexes and fast thinking of Voss to be used at its best.

-Defiance (Innate/Passive Lvl.1)-
Spurred on by normally suppressed spite, rage, as well as typically compounding injuries, Weiland can get into a mindset that just refuses to be brought down. Mentally speaking, his will overrides the pain of injuries that don't outright cripple his ability to function, and pushes him to his absolute limit. Not something he can just willingly choose to do, and more of a side effect of a fight going poorly, this sheer force of will has saved his life on more than one occasion. However, there is nothing being done to heal the injuries being sustained, and often times aggravates their effect, and he could very well collapse as soon as his will gives out, as well as a blow capable of outright crippling him would also bypass this. Of course, he is still currently restrained to the confines of what his body can physically do and put up with, as such it would not grant him the means to overpower someone who is already stronger or faster than him by a significant margin.

Inventory
"Been eyeing my toys, eh kids? They are a beaut one and all, I can promise you that much."
-Conduit Blade-
A heavy, wide designed blade with a central crystal installed into its center, this hefty blade has been Weiland's longest and most loyal companion throughout the years. Originally a far longer blade, it was cut down to rebalance it after the magitech was installed into the blade's base, though it retained the two handed grip and guard from its days as a far larger blade. With its new balance, Voss can wield the thing in a reversed grip or spin it in his grip with little issue, making it a deceptively dexterous weapon. The crystal itself siphons off mana with each strike, charging the blade with raw energy that can be discharged, though it can only store so much. This also makes it potent against foes that rely heavily on a large mana supply as it actively siphons off their reserves with each blow, and as an added insult, increases the harm each strike causes up to a limit, or until the energy is discharged.

-Crystalline Repeater-
A fancy name for the pistol he has on his hip, Weiland's sidearm is compact and sturdily built, intended for brutal, uncaring use by a soldier far less skilled in maintaining their own gear. The weapon draws off a crystal, shaped into a block, that is constantly charging with mana from the ambient surroundings, and slotted into place. This allows for a high volume of shots, made purely from mana, though modifications made by Weiland have altered the weapons versatility. Mainly, he can change to a charged shot mode that, the longer he waits between shots, the more potent the shot will be, up to a certain threshold where safety limiters kick in. With as sturdy as it is, it is not uncommon to see it get used as bludgeon, clubbing a man over the head to open him up to other attacks. Named as such due to the way the shots looked, being akin to 'crystal shards' made of pure mana.

-Personal Rig-
To aid in the already high mobility, high impact fighting style utilized by Weiland Voss is his personal rig, worn over his usual clothing. This rig has focusing crystals in key locations around his body, allowing him to fire off bursts of stored energy and amplify his speed and striking power with each burst. This also lets him move about a battlefield far more than one might consider at a glance, though he cannot actually maintain flight due to the strain it puts on the system and current focusing crystals. Also, their charge is slow to rebuild, meaning he can only use them sparingly if expecting back to back fights or other troubling situations. On a more mundane note, it helps distribute the weight of his weapons and tools while on the move, reducing the fatigue he suffers from long trips by a notable margin.

-Maintenance Kit-
Considering the strain Weiland puts on his kit at a given time, it is of no surprise he carries the tools and parts needed to implement repairs as needed. He could also use these tools to repair or modify other magitech, though he would have to understand such things well enough to be able to properly make such repairs or modifications.

Indeed, much more of a Launcher personally, but unfortunately he/she isn't quite as fitting.

[Jerkchicken]

GM main and I still haven't geared him or my other alts yet.

Are asuras still good farming slaves? I need to get loads of cash and stuff, especially since I want to eventually gear up my ranger.

[Eisenhorn]

Hmm, never really dabbled much in Asura, but from what I understand, they haven't gotten any nerfs, so probably.

I've messed about with a lot of alt character and the like, though my pride and joy remains with the Gunners.

Euterpe Joyfalls

credit to Otokuyou

♫ Name ♫
Euterpe Joyfalls

♫ Race ♫
Human

♫ Gender ♫
Cisfemale

♫ Age ♫
Appears no older than 11

♫ Appearance ♫
Euterpe is a very short, petite, small girl even for her age, with short pale blonde hair unevenly cut and curled upward in some places as well as various pins and ribbons here and there, sparkly silver gray eyes hidden behind a pair of glass, and ghostly pale, almost gray skin. She's normally dressed in pinks and pastel colors overlaying darker, more neutral colors. Her most iconic outfit would be her favorite pink, white, and ash blue scarf over top a poofy pink over sized sweater, an ash blue skirt and pastel flats with dark colored knee socks. Her left sock covers her mechanical/robotic leg from the shin down. Dark gray wireless headphones hang loosely around her neck. Euterpe has a violin strapped to her back, a flute she always has in her hands, and a harmonica in her pocket for spells and abilities.

♫ Backstory ♫
Born into a rather wealthy family, Euterpe lived a rather spoiled life, as her parents would give her anything she needed or wanted at the snap of her fingers. She always had a knack for music and would ask her parents for instruments, sheet music, and stands any time she could. Everything was good and well until the day of a very important ball/dance (this could be of plot relevance if you want) came along and ruined her entire family. The ball put all the most esteemed and richest people on the planet in one place, which made them all an easy target. Someone busted in and began wrecking havoc on all the participants of the ball, her parents included. This person just so happened to use musical instruments to produce hellish attacks on the defenseless participants. Long story short, Euterpe is orphaned and left with a crushed leg from the shin down by the masked musical assailant but is fortunately saved and taken to the hospital where they amputate her leg and give her a new one. From that day forth, citizens who lived near the crime scene began to fear those who carried around actual music instruments in fear of them being attacked. Disappointed at how people so quickly lost their faith in music, she vowed to figure who exactly attacked the ball, why, and prove that music can be used for good instead of evil. Along the way, Euterpe comes across Kyros, a friendly Ifrit, through unconventional means. Together they now wander the world, bring justice to villains and also searching for the musical assailant that lead her down that path.

♫ Personality ♫
Euterpe is a meek, submissive introvert who lives to please others. She doesn't act as if she is better than others. She is eager to please, and quick to give in to others rather than asserting her own desires as if they're the most important. She takes the path of least resistance whenever possible. She so desperately wishes for peace, for everyone to get along, and to avoid conflict at all costs. Conflict terrifies Euterpe, which is why she prefers to support and help rather than actually attack. She doesn't start it (except perhaps in extreme circumstances), or provoke it, and will try to defuse it when it comes up. When forced into an argument, she gets very upset, distressed, and may even begin to cry, seeking escape rather than victory. If confronted, she's likely to admit that she is in the wrong in order to prevent hostilities. She doesn't believe that she knows best in any situation unless someone she trusts backs her up. Euterpe has no desire to be a 'winner'; she only wishes for peace. She is well-behaved, so rebelling against established rules would feel deeply uncomfortable to her, unless she was given a justifiable reason. She's the sort who'd say, worriedly, 'should we really be doing this?' or 'we might get in trouble!'. She really, really doesn't wish to be a bother to others, and always put others first. This is due to a deep-rooted unease about asserting herself rather than a lack of confidence, or a conscious desire to be a 'nice person'.
Euterpe is quick to apologize for any mistakes that they may have made, and will sacrifice her own happiness to ensure that others are happy.

♫ Skills ♫
Musically Inclined: Even at such a young age, Euterpe is a child prodigy when it comes to reading, playing, and creating music. So much so that she's utilized this talent and combined it with healing and support magic (essentially making her a Bard)

Large Mana Pool: Euterpe is able to expel vast amounts of mana and isn't prone to running out as quickly as others.

Healing/Support Magic

Cooking: She can make something good even out of scraps and leftovers here and there.

"Golden Hands": Anything that has to do with her hands, Euterpe has some aptitude in it. Typing, drawing, writing, video games, and things along those lines are normally Euterpe's strong suit.

♫ Abilities ♫
Dark Trill (Harmonica; LV 1): A hypnotic song. Enemies within earshot of this weapon become slightly distracted due to this still being a LV 1 spell.

Synchronicity(Harmonica; LV 1): Euterpe invigorates a single target with her harmonica, surrounding a body part in weak sound waves that could be used for protection or to smash into enemies.

Pixie Song (Flute; LV 1): Euterpe plays a song on her flute. Heals specific targets within earshot. Due to this spell being LV 1, it doesn't heal that much and may require multiple castings to be able to fully heal the desired target.

Cursed Falsetto (Flute; LV 1) This song causes a random ailment to fall upon the enemy. At LV 1, the only options are Poisoning and Blind. When used on an ally, it nullifies the previously listed ailments.

(really wanted her to have a spell like this, but it goes over the limit or 5. thoughts?)
Life Line (Flute; LV 1): Euterpe connects with one target with a song. With this, said target has access to some of her mana. The also share physical and mental strains. Think Pain Split from Pokemon.

Harmonic Convergence (Violin; LV 1): The first moon, Etus, aligns with the sound waves emitted from Euterpe's violin, allowing her to project the energy from said moon to a single person, enhancing the target's physical and defensive properties exponentially.

♫ Inventory ♫
Euterpe normally doesn't have anything on her person, aside from the instruments in her arsenal. First is probably her weakest instrument, that being her harmonica, which is always in her pocket. Second is her flute, the instrument that's always in her hands, ready for use whenever. It's often the instrument she uses to actually play music instead of a spell. Lastly is her strongest weapon, strapped onto her back, her violin. She only uses it when in dire situations.

TBA/TBD

♫ Relationship Sheet ♫
Kyros is the big lovable companion that is aiding Euterpe in her journey to find the musical assailant that took her parents and her leg, while she is, in turn, helping him achieve his goal of bringing absolute justice to the world. While she's meek and quick to go with anything to avoid conflict, Kyros is the exact opposite: quick to jump into action, assertive, and a leader at heart. While she keeps him from doing anything stupid, Kyros teaches her the values of making her own decisions, a lesson she's still learning to this day. Although they've been with each other for a while, the two share a questionable relationship that others find hard to pin own. Euterpe honestly doesn't mind this though, as she knows that they both will always be there to protect and make the other happy.

Magical Construct (Ceramisteel golem)

The pride of craftsman and coffer alike, art given life to serve. Such as a golem is, they are wholly/mostly constructed of a single material. 'Ceramisteel' is the name of a process where in an enchanted compound is infused into porcelain to grant it near metal-like properties (Listed below in 'Abilities' ). Due to the need of pure components of a rare nature to assemble the core from, the commissioning of capable artificers to craft the porcelain default and magitechnicians to bind the essence of a soulgem to the core, instances of this variety of golem are uncommon. Money often being an issue.

Typically, a golem follows orders to the will of the master who commands it. However, vague orders will often be met with improvisation based on previous commands. Such an order prior to the death of a master has been observed to cause a golem to tirelessly perform a task without end before defaulting to common constants.
Posed with a vague demand such as 'avenge me' from a dying master, the web of possibilities spread out so much so that the construct's decision making processes mimic sentience in pursuit of the goal.

Appearance

A doll standing at 5'6, flat-heeled knee-high boots bump this up to 5'8. Typically clad in his old servant's attire (at least in the start of the thread), under it he wears what would equate to a black leather form-fitting tanktop with flexible layered scales reinforcing the chest and abdomen. A pair of matching bracers fixed to arm guards are kept under the sleeves of their servant's attire, custom made and designed to inconspicuously protect without giving the impression of the apparently meek servant actually being an armed guard.
The trend continues with greaves and cuisses of the set lacking poleyn for flexibility, all belted to the legs over mid-thigh socks fixed with garters running up snug, fitted and broad-belted leather short-shorts.
Great care was taken to detail the doll's androgynously lithe design; resources and funding must not have been an object in procuring and tailoring the quality material to protect the owner's investment, light of armor as it is.

+

Backstory:
Kaite was commissioned by the Sinclair family almost one hundred years ago as a display of wealth and influence. This thankfully resulted in a well spent investment which would go on to save the duchess from a group of thieves while returning from the market, later that same week. Through the years, Kaite served as everything from an advisor to a surrogate mother figure to an executioner. This life spent adapting to the twists and turns of expected unquestioning obedience was not often the easiest, but it was still life and it was genuinely worth it to serve.

Now?

The duke lies dead, his wife and youngest son, heir to the bloodline's estates, having absconded to parts unknown after the anonymous threats against the man's life. Simply ordered to 'protect the family' would not do without knowledge of where the woman had taken the young master...and evidenced by the pool of blood, Kaite's abilities were wanting in that department. It seemed like it would be rude to begin cleaning the mess while the duke was actively making it, but the man thankfully had one final task. "Dear Kaite...do right...pro..protect the family...a-and avenge...mmeeehh..."
Simple enough: by silencing the ones who would threaten the family, the...nnnnoow, now dead master would be avenged and the bloodline preserved.
This, of course, was anything but simple since the construct had never left the grounds for any reason other than to fetch groceries or attend balls with the duke and his lineage. Standing at the scene and frozen while watching blood seep into the carpeting, orders argued against themselves for a solid minute before Kaite simply bowed and turned heel to leave and speaking, "Ouf course, sir" with dignified resolution behind the accent they were built with.
Kaite had nowhere to begin, the duke likely having countless enemies to varying degrees of motive and capability to pull off the deed. Many were former associates from distant parts. So began the first independent branch of logic the construct conceived, 'Start looking'.

Personality:
Kaite was built and trained to be polite and eloquent to the letter, though unwisely prompted to function on logic and read organics for cues, ideally to take initiative. This has led to him being a bit poor at dealing with romantics, though patient with ranting outbursts that he'd bore witness to a fair share of. However, there is no telling how much he 'took to heart' in a number of instances over the years of serving the family when confronted about his machine-like nature. Because of the changing tastes of the Sinclair lineage, Kaite has grown proficient in feinting emotions, preferences and even dispositions for the sake of pretending to be more human. The recent decades have instilled an almost sultry string, learning to be subtly manipulative mostly in the way of discouraging radical action or even reasoning. Still, words alone do not slay trespassers, and only sentient souls feel remorse for their actions or hesitate on orders conflicting with common morals. At the very least, most would not do so with a hauntingly pleasant smile.
Kaite is highly inexperienced with the outside world and how people work without direction. At the very least, he endeavors to be adaptive and accommodating.

Skills:
The Late Lord's Servant - Typical subroutines like cooking and playing instruments of certain string varieties or pianos. Hundreds of recipes have been etched into Kaite's mind including a few foreign delicacies. However, these techniques are performed best with the proper tools and ingredients as Kaite will seldom deviate from the text. As such, these skills are nearly useless on the road as Kaite lacks the imagination to improvise meals from scratch.
Simple tasks like mending weathered or damaged attire come with ease due to machine precision in repetitive tasks. This would extend to crocheting, though his first attempt was a scarf nearly twenty feet long before being stopped when the matron of the house returned from having left the room for 'just a moment'.

The Late Lord's Guard Dog - Kaite was first trained in anatomy and first aid, to save lives and tend to the ailing of injury or illness (unable to contract biological diseases of obvious reasons). Next, the Duke's clever pet was taught how to end lives, and how to most efficiently go about it...and what the command was to be 'inefficient'. Such as it is, Kaite is skilled with light blades such as rapiers as well as an understanding of guns. He isn't the most practiced in 'guns' as they tend to be loud and messy...and he's the one who has to clean up the mess.

Abilities:
"Ahnciel" Ceramisteel Frame (Passive Unupgradable) - Compact and durable, damage to the material will eventually heal with chunks broken off from the core slowly dissipating into mundane sand while voids fill. The process can be expedited by collecting and piecing the damage back together, though this is a tedious process that only Kaite truly knows the solution to. Regardless, it makes the difference between regrowing an arm and fusing a crack. Due to the composition of Kaite's frame, most piercing and mild slash attacks are negligible in threat, while heavy impact, especially blunt, can be devastating.

"Olos" Arcana Cannon (Combat Subsystems Lv1) - An allowance of energy collected by Kaite's heart is transferred into his left arm over time such that it is always charging if possible. The design is grossly inefficient where in its basic function, it expels a nearly full charge in as many as two powerful bursts of immolating force with a max reach of 5m. Each caseless shot fires in a spike-shaped emission from the palm, causing a concussive vacuum around the point of origin. Shot power is gauged with inhibitors aware of Kaite's structural integrity to prevent the unit from possibly blowing its own arm off with the force of firing both shots simultaneously or in rapid succession.

Inventory:
Left abruptly without considering supplies save for what they were armed with at the time, a custom pappenheimer rapier, standard issue and keen enough for civil defense against most things with a pulse. It was his sword, one of his few true possessions aside from his attire.

Theme song: Theme 1 and Theme 2 (Instrumental)

Misc:
- Speaks vith zee slightest ouf accents vhich I vill be inflictink upon readers.
- Has an irrational fear aversion to deep water, likely due to awareness of their lack of buoyancy.
- Likes arthropods, feeling a hollow sense of kinship with them.
- The "Liminality" Hextech Heart (Core System) serves as Kaite's 'brain'. A binding of precious metals and soul gem sections, the vaguely heart-shaped object anomalously beats in Kaite's chest. The lone psuedo-organ processes all thought and grants the ceramisteel frame locomotion. The heart links to leylines and absorbs ambient essence from the environment to feed itself and power subsystems. The heart can shield itself from a limited amount of damage, but damage is critical in any instance. While the qualities of the frame carry on to the core, cognitive process is a delicate thing that required decades to hone, and heals much slower...if at all.

[sntabe]

hrng i drew him at like 2am this morning

he's not actually purple

Name:
Zeke Avienore

Race:
Human

Sex:
Male

Appearance:
Zeke is in his mid-twenties, somewhat small, and severely underweight. His dark hair is a wild mess and he often wears the same thing every day: a plain shirt, pants, and a navy blue cloak. His eyes, a similar blue-gray, are often somewhere else, glazed over because the conversation he's having is decidedly uninteresting and he'd rather think about whether it's possible to genetically engineer a fish that's still viable without respiratory system.

Backstory:
Belonging to a wealthy family, Zeke was given the best education money could buy. However, he often failed his classes due to general apathy. He harbored a growing resentment, fueled by paranoia, toward the school system, believing that it was designed to brainwash children into a patriotic and unquestioning mindset so as to become the happily ignorant tools of the government. When this belief manifested into verbal and physical violence, he was suspended several times until he was expelled outright.

When he was fourteen, Zeke ran away from home without any warning. He survived on the streets as a petty criminal, choosing to carve his own path through blood and grime rather than live the comfortable, entitled life of a sheep. He continually destroyed his fingerprints and otherwise took precautions as to ensure that his capture would be unlikely. As he aged, Zeke began to find more sustainable methods of living, snatching a legitimate job as a librarian's assistant. He currently spends most of his time pursuing his hobbies, namely reading books and squinting through a telescope.

Personality:
Zeke is friendly and polite and expresses himself primarily through dark humor and his love of the night sky, and he prefers that that be the most anyone knows about him. His voice is weak and raspy, so he doesn't speak often, but is a superb listener if you're talking about more than just the weather and will smilingly help you solve your problems, but all of that is merely a façade. Sadistic, cunning, a manipulative bastard and compulsive liar, Zeke doesn't actually care much for other people and would just as quickly destroy your social life as give you helpful advice. He only ever pursues his own personal goals, and his peers are just a means to that end. He has a lot of practice hiding this, however, and luckily it's not often that someone is severely harmed by his endeavors.

Curiosity is his primary motivator, and almost everything of significance that he does is simply just because he wants to know "what would happen if..." Once one question is answered, it's on to the next one, or sometimes it's on to the next one before the first one was finished to begin with. Zeke can sometimes be painfully oblivious to his surroundings, as he lives mostly in his own head. He is also meticulously perfectionistic, which translates to inefficient time management as he wastes startling amounts of time on the little nuances that, in the end, don't make a difference. In addition, he has difficulty learning from his mistakes and tends to repeat them indefinitely if he doesn't prioritize correcting them.

Zeke holds intellect at highest esteem, and disdains those who do not meet his standard. He tends to push aside or ignore his own emotions, believing them to be counterproductive, and thus has difficulty understanding and handling them. Usually, he'll experience emotions in short, strong bursts before forgetting about them altogether.

Skills:
Looking at things that are really far away
Zeke usually spends his nights observing the sky and has a fair understanding of astronomy. Consider it an obsession.

Alarmingly expansive knowledge of inapplicable subjects
Heavily in areas of math and science. Nothing that can actually help him in the "real world" for the most part, but it does include awareness in psychology and anatomy. Those are useful, right?

Cloak and dagger fighting, but without the dagger
The secret to Zeke's cloak is that it's actually weighted, so at close range he can use it to deflect or entangle weapons. He can also smack you in the face with it, similar to how one can smack you in the face with a flail.

Work on the go
Zeke is a multitask pro, and often has his attention divided. It's a rare occurrence when he's not distracted.

Not telling the truth
If there's a way to lie, regardless of whether there's a good reason, Zeke can do it convincingly.

Moves:
Surgeon's Hand: Level 1
A steady hand and confident grip that is useful for delicate, precision tasks or just for drawing. Ignores stress and anxiety debuffs with increasing potency as level increases.

Inventory:
Pocket Telescope
Wow! It fits in one hand!

Calculator
Programmable with advanced graphing utility in three dimensions. It can also run videogames! :D

Sewing Kit
For fixing his cloak after battles.

Flashlight
With extremely bright, bright, dim, and strobe settings. Can reach 800 lumens - easily enough to temporarily disorient the average person in broad daylight - and equip laser pointers or bayonets.

Notebook and Pen
For when he's bored.

Theme song:
The Muffin Song 10 Hours

Misc: Bonus Skills!
Paranoia
Can suspect literally anyone of having malicious intent.

Death Stare
A withering glare that can intimidate or at least disconcert almost anyone.

Attention to Detail
Can spot tiny discrepancies such as a painting that is slightly tilted - just like him! - and be immensely annoyed by them.

Left-Handedness
Upon using the writing or drawing skill, increased likelihood of being asked the question "Are you left-handed?"

Monochromatism
The incredible ability to see only one color, ever!

[Jerkchicken]

Can't have a level 4 ability
