@XoXKieroBombXoX Wiggity wack, I have no clue who you is but your back! Who originally did you play?

@Dark Cloud

I played Black Mage two moons ago!

[XoXKieroBombXoX]

I'm gonna DM Lugubrious later today on how I should approach re-entering though.

[Dark Cloud]

@XoXKieroBombXoX Too bad my JRPG character died, Frog and the beloved Black Mage would have gotten along. At least I still got Laharl :P

[XoXKieroBombXoX]

As much as I'd love to use Vivi again, I think I may need to create a new character entirely. Like I said, gonna DM Lugubrious about that later.

Just went back and searched a few posts with only one mention. Gonna keep looking for a bit longer though just because I have the time rn

[XoXKieroBombXoX]

I just went back and read. Sounded like he got turned into a spirit

[Dark Cloud]

Oof rough, well it's still good to see old players come back

[Lugubrious]

Hello there. It looks we really have been blessed with old players reappearing as of late. Regrettably last time you disappeared right in the middle of a zombie invasion of the police station in the Dead Zone, and as with any character left rudderless in such a dangerous situation, Vivi did not survive. I apologize, and I would be happy to work with you to re-enter with a new character elsewhere in the World of Light.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lugubrious Since I hit third lvl for Laharl I've been thinking about making another character, more or less to get the boy to try to be fully supportive of Yellow Team. Thus I'm considering making Magus as I wanted to play him alongside Frog but alas he's dead but if I do I'd see the rest of team yellow stumble upon him up the mountain reflecting the scene from Chrono Trigger where he joined the party as an ally.

Any thoughts boss? He would be Gleaming thus somewhat hostile. I want to make Etna but it wouldn't make sense in the current context. Although it would be easier to make a character from the same series as Laharl to post together so I don't have to post three separate IC's.

ACTUALLY!

Now that I think about it I have a fantastic idea! I'll make Flonne! Now I feel motivated! I was lacking inspiration in Laharl but this actually has rekindled my enthusiasm! Also I won't lie I was very close to giving up on Laharl and requesting a new character but I feel like I enjoy this idea better.

[Dark Cloud]

I'll be getting to work on this immediately!

Just PMed Lugubrious! Hoping I'll be able to play either Raiden from Metal Gear or Omen from Valorant.

[Lugubrious]

Sounds like a plan.

"Time for Jack... TO LET ER RIP!!"

Raiden

---

Game Origin:
Metal Gear series

---

Personality:
Cold and dissonant to both those he loves and hates. Being raised as a master of the kill, Raiden learned to shove away his emotions in order to protect himself and others. He distanced those who attach themselves to him, only working with a partner if entirely necessary. Raiden kills and fights for ideals such as justice and revenge. This was the truth he lived by as long as he lived. Traumatized by his past, he vowed to change his ways, but always found himself looping back to killing for the government. Only after the events in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance does Raiden truly accept his origins and what he fights for. Only then does he truly begin to make his life his own.

Jack the Ripper was the persona Raiden took during his early years of fighting. The objective of this persona was to mask his true personality. It was created for two specific purposes: Take orders and kill. In his fight with Monsoon, he revealed his persona after many years of suppressing himself. After taking off his pain inhibitors, Raiden becomes the definition of a killer. Fighting with a stronger bloodlust and less limits on his physical prowess. This is what he was trained to originally be.

Background

Background:
(Slightly altered from Canon so that I can play a post Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance as a cyborg Raiden.)

It had been years since the events set in Pakistan, the World Marshal had been crippled with the death of Senator Steven Armstrong, who Raiden had killed with an impaling blade to the chest. However, nothing had really changed. War still happened, bombs were still thrown between countries and people still died as casualties of war every single day. It was never Raiden's intention to necessarily end war, but he had at least hoped he could throw a wrench in Armstrong's ideal America. However, that was far from the truth. One of the biggest threats to the world still existed, the Metal Gears.

Raiden went out on his own again, deeply considering the words of the Senator he had called "Bat-shit insane". Maybe he should have become his own person. Maybe Raiden was merely just a puppet for Maverick, for the government as a whole. After he grabbed his blades, Raiden would become his own man, no longer working for another's cause. He would truly fight for what he believed was right. Although, it goes without saying that becoming independent after these events would be no easy feat. He still frequently relied on Maverick Security's technology and staff to help execute his "missions". He would never truly be alone. Not with these damn augmentations.

---

The storm had been raging for hours. Raiden sat atop a high-set building, robotic bodies piled up from the mercenary's recent killing spree. The war still raged despite the now aging man's best efforts. Senator Armstrong's ideology of a nation based off of a war economy and a survival of the fittest hierarchy had come to fruition. Weapons were being deported daily, Metal Gears still seen on the televisions across the globe. Many at Maverick (especially the Doktor Wilhelm Voigt) tried to liberate Raiden from this grueling life, however he always refused. "There's still more of those bastards out there!" He would always interject. There was no escape from this life. Not if the streets were constantly unsafe. Raiden was still seen as the man who assassinated the Senator of Colarado.

Suddenly, the always grey skies began to clear, allowing the pink and yellow glow of sunrise to pass through the streets, as if to shed light on a dark country. Raiden would stand as the clouds parted, taking in the scenery for a moment before questioning it's origin. The visor on Raiden's face would quickly snap shut over his eyes, giving him a readout of the land. Ordinarily, the temperature, time of day, and other worldly statistics would shutter over his face, however, then it would only read glitched text and warped lettering.

Quickly before anything else could have gone awry, Raiden would tap twice on the side of his visor to open his communications. First in line was always Boris. The call would ring for a moment before it was answered, however, the large Russian man was nowhere in frame, in fact all that was on screen was a bright, blinding light. "Boris!? Damnit!" He would shout before ending the call he would begin calling all his other contacts one by one. Kevin, Courtney, with no answer whatsoever. Even with their limited communication, they still would have answered, having a "Only call if its an emergency" system.

There was only one person left to call, the one person who Raiden trusted with cybernetic enhancements: The Doktor. He would call to receive an answer, the short man standing firmly and professionally. "V'at seems to be ze issue Raiden?" He would answer. Raiden would quickly (and quite rudely) snap back at the Doktor. "No time for chit-chat! My comms with Maverick are down!" The Doktor wore a stunned expression on his face. They were both aware of the communication rules, so how was this possible?! "V'at!? Z-Zat is impossible! What's your emergen-" Suddenly he would press his hand on his ear, getting call after another. This was not the only instance.

"Raiden you need to tell me v'at's going o-" Suddenly the burst of light would fill the comm screen, now covering the screen as it did for Boris. Raiden would stare in shock. "Doktor?! Doktor, are you there!? Dammit all!" All communication had been cut. There was no longer anyone he could call. Not that it mattered. In the distance, a bright beam hurdled in his direction, the same that had taken his company. As his visor was already drawn, he would unsheathe his HF Blade. He would hold a steady footing as he prepared to parry the beam in an opposite direction. But no matter how strong the cyborg was, the light won.

Specialty:
Raiden is a master in close combat, so naturally he is to be considered a front line attacker, although he is greatly skilled in both the art of stealth and the way of the ninja.

Level:
1

||||||||||

Powers:

• Electricity Generation:
  Raiden is able to create lightning as long as his fuel cells are charged. This ability comes in the package of being recognized as a Snake. The lightning created allows for overall speed improvement but also the ability to charge weaponry and attacks with electricity.

Strengths:

• Augmented Strength: Due to being cybernetically enhanced, Raiden has obtained greater strength.
• Augmented Speed: Due to being cybernetically enhanced, Raiden has obtained greater speeds.
• Self Care: Raiden is able to heal and fuel his power cells with spinal fluids of both living and cybernetic humans.

Weaknesses:

• Overconfidence: Often is overly cocky in his abilities and can underestimate opponents.
• Cybernetic Enhancements: While in combat they are incredibly helpful and can determine the fate of a life and death situation, they constantly require attention in order to function.
• Bloodlust: Raiden has an insatiable bloodlust he masks as fighting for justice.
• Uncooperative: Will in most situations, attempt to break from any group to fight on his own.
• Traumatized: Suffering a traumatic upbringing, Raiden will usually have episodes of turmoil and dissonance.

Spirits:
N/A

"Guests of Honor"

• The Beheaded- Also known as the prisoner. A faceless, mouthless pile of mush on top of a rotting corpse. The entity is practically immortal, able to detach itself from its host and fling to either another corpse, or survive on its own. Game of origin: Dead Cells
• Omen- The result of a failed chemicals testing. One survived, able to wield the power of the toxins, the other a revenant of themselves, hoping to find a cure to their lifelessness. Props to you if you guess which Omen is. Game of origin: Valorant
• Nidus- The result of a mixing infestation and a sentient suit of armor, Nidus bends the will of corruption and infestation to the will of their operator. There is no cure for it's strange disease: you must control it. Game of origin: Warframe

Inventory

Inventory:

• HF Blade: A katana in which utilizes rapidly changing attack patterns to throw its opponents off. Emits high-frequency vibrations to allow easy slicing access.
• HF Murasama: Serves the same purpose as a regular HF Katana or Blade, however is much heavier and is able to deal deadlier, slower striking blows.
• Wide variety of grenades: "What? A ninja can't have his explosives? Screw you."
• SOCOM MK23: While rarely used, a ranged weapon is always a better alternative in missions that require stealth, though Raiden prefers a face-first encounter any time.

@Dark Cloud Hey so I'm just about done Flonne but wanted an opinion on the strength I'm trying to come up with called Infectious Affection but I can't seem to get a good grasp on how it would work. Do you have a suggestion? If not that's cool too.

[Lugubrious]

Were you acting out your introspection, or did you mean to mention someone else? If it's me, I'm afraid I don't know anything about Flonne or her strengths. Can you convey any information about it?

[Dark Cloud]

@Lugubrious I meant to at you, Flonne is essentially someone who believes anyone is capable of feeling love either romantically, or through friendship and will go to great lengths to teach the value of love to those who do not understand or accept it.

I also put a link to the wiki if that helps.

[Lugubrious]

Right now that sounds like a personality trait. If you're looking for a Strength, it could possibly be phrased in such a way that her kindness and optimism tend to rub off on those around her, inspiring them to try and be nicer themselves.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lugubrious That is more or less the idea, and that helps. Thank you.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lugubrious Flonne is done.
