[OOC] Granblue Fantasy: Rhapsody in Red

[Enkryption]

i s2g tree reads over these before I post them

I ain't just letting Cyll get away with absolute metaphorical murder here

@Ammokkx

LOL! Not just me, then? I don't feel so lonely on my island, anymore.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Finally figured out what I wanna do with my character. Should be incoming in the next day or two.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Mushi

Appearance:

Name: Mushi

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Race: Draph

Element: Fire

Dream: "I will create a sword style worthy of the title strongest!"

Home: Mushi comes from the island of Kaifeng. It is a place where the inhabitants compete to prove that their fighting style is the best, in violently destructive but surprisingly nonlethal fashion. On Kaifeng, the tradition of "dojo destroying" is ubiquitous and literal. A dojo's worth is in some ways measured by how old their building is. Needless to say, the construction industry thrives, as does the medical industry. Tournaments of various shapes and sizes are held on practically a daily basis.

Gimmicks: Mushi has a "Kung Fu" or "Wuxai" style fighting style, full of elaborate special moves and forms, that flirts with and then directly crosses over into the supernatural with fiery effects on her attacks. She is a very impressive duelist with a minor in excessive property damage. However, she's relatively poor at terrain advantage, ranged combat, underhanded tactics, and multi-person fights, all things her rigid training didn't prepare her for. She believes this to be a flaw of her style, and set out in the wider world to gain experience to fix that, but, well, she hasn't exactly had a lot of time to gain that experience yet.

Personality: Mushi has the smug overconfidence of someone who is sure they've got things figured out, that they're the one who has cracked the code of how the world works. And who hasn't had enough life experience to get proven wrong yet, given the ripe old age of fifteen. Mushi is concerned that due to the lack of external influence, rather than Kaifeng's ubiquitous competitions driving them to higher and higher heights of martial prowess, everyone's simply cyclically developing stale counters to each other. In short, she thinks that everyone's playing the meta rather than developing a style that has true adaptability and power. She thinks that in order to make progress towards that unattainable perfection of a 'strongest' sword style, she must leave home to explore the wider world. And hit it really hard.

Background: Mushi was born into the warrior's life. Or, well, the life of the warrior who studies battle and spars, but doesn't actually ever fight with life and death upon the line. She was born and raised as the fourth of six blood heirs of the Naha dojo, which was only demolished three times during her childhood. Quite the impressive feat thanks to the strength of her Father. But each time it was demolished, and each time they rebuilt, it left a mark on Mushi's mind. Rather than seek further strength, they simply devised counters to the moves that had defeated them this time. This left Mushi disillusioned with the Naha fighting style, even though she still practiced it.

In order to begin searching the skies, Mushi took up being a mercenary. She was getting along just fine enough at this job until her first shore leave, at which point her culture's rather literal interpretation of dojo destroying resulted in her incarceration.

Inventory: Mushi carries a massive blade that one would think would be more akin to a siege weapon than a device of personal defense. It is both, in Mushi's hands.

Not too fancy yet, but it should get the basic concept across.

I'm going to post today, sorry I've just been really busy the past week.

@The 42nd Gecko

Sorry for the late response, this weekend has been busy for me.

There isn't much that I find wrong with the sheet itself, though a specific typo under gimmicks bugs me, that being: "However, she's relatively at terrain advantage, ranged combat, underhanded tactics, and multi-person fights, all things her rigid training didn't prepare her for". I'm assuming that should have "relatively poor" in front of that.

Other than that though, a good character to add to the crew since our last spunky fiery swords-draph dropped. Go ahead and pop her into the character tab after fixing that quote, and I'll get her introduced in the next post.

[The Irish Tree]

This week is shaping up to be hectic for me, between me needing to move stuff from my grandma's house down here as well as a midterm this Wednesday, so probably expect a post either this weekend or next week. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

[The Irish Tree]

Okay, expect a post from me tomorrow guys. Really sorry about the long ass wait and the constant apologies.

@The Irish Tree

no rush tree, take care of stuff you're busy with first and foremost

[The Irish Tree]

Post is up! Hope that gives everyone plenty to work with for interactions.

Really sorry if Mushi being injured prior to this doesn't work for you Gecko, I can change it if need be, it just felt more organic to have her in the mushroom hospital at the moment.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@The Irish Tree Works for me! She's a decent fighter, not an invulnerable goddess.

[Ammokkx]

Instead of being the fast™ I'm going to give enk and gecko a chance to get a post in before I do

unless I decide I'm really bored and want to write anyway

@Ammokkx

If it weren't for the fact I had work... and spent all morning fixing my Steam login information so I don't lose my account... I would've probably posted this morning. XD

That said, unless you want to wait, go ahead and post. I just got home, so I will post in a few hours, but, in general, Marshall's not about to converse, or concern himself, with two strangers.

Spoiler: He's kinda introverted.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Oooh, ooh, I'll go first then!

[Enkryption]

Oooh, ooh, I'll go first then!

@The 42nd Gecko

...whoops.

I didn't have this section open; just the IC, a PM to myself, and my GD for drafting. Sorry.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Hah, no problem, it just looked like everyone was going "No no, you go first." :P

[Ammokkx]

well I didn't have to wait long

I'll see about getting something up after school

(or during, depending on my mood)

[Ammokkx]

@The 42nd Gecko

with mushi's question of "Is it important on your island to know who can hunt? Like, are there monsters or something?" I feel the conversation is paced rather awkwardly. I had Cyll say a lot because lore, but if you want, I can edit his dialogue to more accurately reflect how he'd react to a question like that.

[Enkryption]

I wonder, if I should do up another post, if scenes are gunna continue, or not, if this is just conversational?

@Enkryption

's just a conversation. Besides, Amanita is about to check on Marshall.

I don't really intend to post again until Tree does, myself.

[Enkryption]

S'fine. I'm just an impatient writer who's bored.
