@Weird TalesNo. Please try to stay within the theme of this game. Lovecraft is Lovecraft.

@Weird Tales
Well that's not really Lovecraftian at all then! Crazy super science "wizard" could be pretty fun too.

@Holy Soldier
Alright, let me know what you think.

Appearance

Written Appearance

She's a woman of average height with medium length hair. Her expression is usually cold until potential customers appear, at which point she puts on a much softer expression. Her clothing is specifically chosen to invoke the image of a witch to help lend her credibility.

Personality

She's greedy, deceitful, and dreams of a grand future for herself. However, around other people she puts on a caring act and pretends to only care about helping people. Her one goal in life is to get rich and doesn't care if she does it at the cost of strangers.

Background

Beryl was born to a rural family of witches, known in the area for helping anyone in need while asking for nothing in return. These values were imparted on her from an early age and she seemed to be on the same path as everyone in her family, at least until the fateful day she visited West City with her parents. The son of a family friend has asked them to exorcise a ghost and Beryl was brought along to learn, but none of that mattered to her, she had been tainted.

From then on she pestered her family about why they didn't live in the city and why they didn't have a hover car and so on. This deeply troubled her parents as she was starting to lose focus on her family's noble goal. Eventually, Beryl stopped mentioning the city and seemed to focus on her training again, but this was only to throw them off her trail. At night she would travel to nearby towns and offer fortune-tellings, seances, and healing crystals for exorbitant prices. Naturally, it was all a scam.

This continued for years until her parents found a driver's license in her room. What followed was an hour long argument that ended in Beryl leaving to live in the city where she would continue to scam people. However, this soon proved to not provide her with enough money for the lifestyle she desired and a new idea hatched in her head. She would enter the World Martial Arts Tournament and scam her way to the top.

Techniques

Hypnosis - By locking eyes with her target and making herself heard, she can put the target to sleep. Even though the spell keeps them asleep for some time, a single blow can wake them back up.

Teleportation - This spell allows Beryl to transport herself to a location she's seen before. However, she keeps her current facing and if used while moving, the momentum remains.

Telekinesis - With this spell, Beryl can not only move objects and people, but prevent the target from moving. However this spell requires her entire focus to affect anything significant.

Extra

Beryl has been working on a collection of capsules which includes the following:
1x red Silverstar 4
1x Three room (living room/kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) capsule house
1x mini-fridge
1x recliner

@CommanderCool

1. What are the limits to her hypnosis? Could a person with high willpower resist it? How many turns is a person to be asleep? I am asking these questions because in the case you do decide to use her for PVP, then these need to be included in the technique explanation.

2. Telekinesis; what is the maximum weight and quantity of objects/beings she can move with her telekinesis?

3. Lastly, I'm going to assume that when you said she's working on a collection of capsules that she's either scamming, stealing, or buying these capsules?

[CommanderCool]

@Holy Soldier
Well the main weaknesses are she needs mutual eye contact and needs the target to hear her, so it can be resisted by just not looking at her face. I honestly didn't think about the duration since hitting someone or even trying to roll them off the stage would be enough to wake them up.

For the TK, let's go with about 200 pounds for lifting and using it to hold something in place requires dedicated focus, assuming they try to resist.

Finally, she buys the capsules with her hard earned scam money.

[Weird Tales]

@Weird TalesNo. Please try to stay within the theme of this game. Lovecraft is Lovecraft.

@Holy Soldier

What type of magic is with the theme? Magic in DB is extremely limited variety wise

[Slingshot]

@Holy Soldier Is there a discord for this rp?

@CommanderCool

That all seems fine. She's approved.

@Weird TalesA magician just got approved. You can reference @CommanderCool 's CS just don't plagiarize.

@SlingshotI can make a discord. I am on European time so I may not be active when you guys are if you're all on American time. Mostly due to European time zone + Work.

[Holy Soldier]

@Weird TalesYou're also overthinking it. I said for magicians to pick a theme. If there's a pyromancer, I expect the pyromancer to only use fire-related magic. Commander's character theme seems to be psionics.

@Holy Soldier

I just wanted some defined ideas since the op didn't say anything about what kind of magics were allowed

[CommanderCool]

@Holy Soldier
Thanks!

@Weird Tales
Just go with something fun and thematic, what kind of stuff do you enjoy?

[Holy Soldier]

@Weird TalesBecause I wasn't going to set a limitation. If you come to me asking if you can summon Cthulhus in a DB game, I'm just going to say no.

[Weird Tales]

@Holy Soldier I have decided to go with a mutant character.

Written Appearance

Yang generally keeps to the training uniform he used when studying under Master Feng (seen above). However, he's not above wearing more casual attire if an occasion calls for it. In those cases, though, he tends to keep it to a simple shirt and jeans. Beyond that, there's not much else to tell about his wardrobe. He stands at 5' 2'', not what one could call tall or imposing, but not distinctively short either. He weighs a similarly average 160 pounds, at least that's usually the average for one spending his life in rigorous training anyway. He keeps a clean-shaved head, believing that growing his hair long would prove tactically disadvantageous in situations where the wind blows it in front his eyes to block his visibility, or provide opponents something to grab him by if he is not careful.

Personality

Focused and serious-minded, Yang takes his training very seriously and practically scoffs at anyone who doesn't. The martial arts have been one of the only things he's known for most of his life, and so that is the thing he has come to latch onto more than anything else in the world. Of course, this also means he knows little about city life and finds most of it to be frivolous and without meaning, which can and has rubbed many people the wrong way. He's also slow to trust others, but on the flipside his trust is almost always permanent once it's been earned. That also comes with the caveat of his trust being nearly impossible to regain should it be broken or betrayed. In battle Yang is equally as distrusting, often spending the first several moments of any fight purely on the defensive. Most opponents mistake that for fear or hesitation, but they learn soon enough that this so-called hesitation is really just Yang's way of studying his opponent until a suitable weakness can be found and exploited.

Background

An orphan since childhood, Yang knows nothing about his parentage and where or if any of his living kin live. And strangely enough, the young man has never had any desire to go searching for those answers either. He was taken in at an early age by a wandering hermit known only as Master Feng. Feng happened upon the orphan Yang being bullied by bandits, but before the old man stepped in he noticed the young child was quick to go on the attack to defend himself. The child didn't stand a chance, but there wasn't even the slightest hint of fear in the boy. Intrigued, Feng finally stepped in and easily frightened off the bandits with his superior skill. He took the boy home with him and trained him ever since.

Yang trained for years under Feng, learning what was known famously as the Crane School of Martial Arts. After beginning to master the School's style and even its most iconic technique, Feng surprised Yang one day when he told the newly-turned-20 year old student that he had nothing left to teach him. Unfortunately, Feng had focused Yang so much on training that the young man was at a complete loss for what to do. This was indeed the issue that Feng hoped to solve. Perhaps by sending Yang away to experience the world on his own he would learn to love and appreciate other things besides Martial Arts training. Always a loyal student, Yang obeyed his master's wishes and left to travel the world on his own.

It was some time later that Yang learned of the World Tournament. Such an opportunity to test the fruits of his training was something the young man couldn't possibly think of turning away from.

Techniques

~Zanzouken: More commonly known as the Afterimage technique, the Zanzouken is a phenomenon that occurs when a fighter moves at such speed that they leave behind afterimages of their body in their wake. The images themselves cannot attack, as they are mere images that quickly fade away. Instead the technique is most often used to confuse or misdirect an opponent so that a counterattack can be more efficiently used against them afterwards.

~Dodonpa: This finger beam attack is the most well known and iconic technique of the Crane School. While most Ki wave techniques rely on raw power and concussive force, the Dodonpa is instead a more concentrated beam of superheated energy. Depending on the user's level of Ki, the beam can pierce through virtually any form of armor or defense, often burning a small hole in the target's body. This efficiency is made even more devastating by the technique being much faster to charge than other more conventional Ki wave techniques. Its speed combined with its small size make for an attack that can be used at overwhelming speeds and with lethal accuracy and precision.

~Dokuken: Sometimes called the Venomous Fist, the Dokuken is series of swift strikes that don't appear to actually damage the opponent's body. Instead, the strikes are designed to target pressure points on the body and causing a brief paralysis in the limbs to restrict movement and slow the opponent down for a brief period of time. The more advanced form of this technique is said to not only debilitate an opponent's body but their Ki as well, seemingly crippling their ability to raise their Ki for a short time until they can shrug off the "venom" of the Dokuken strikes.

@Holy Soldier It looked like you could use a classic Earthling fighter for this roster, so I am here to provide. I can add explanations for the Afterimage and Dodonpa if you like, but I thought the two techniques are well known enough that it would be unnecessary.

[Holy Soldier]

@DoubleExplain all techniques regardless. I don't like lazy CSes.

I am going to get the IC up today. The OOC is the same as the interest check so that's already done. Interested players can still apply. If I get too many for the chapter (what I deem too many), I'll halt applications until the chapter is finished. The waiting list players will fill those spots that drop out.

[CommanderCool]

@Holy Soldier
I have a question, will pairings be decided right away? My character may or may not want to use her TK to manipulate the match ups.

[Holy Soldier]

@CommanderCoolThe pairings are PVE unless you tell me you want a PVP pairing. It is highly-encouraged you communicate with your fellow writers because some things that happen in the IC, your peers may want to discuss it with you.

@DoubleExplain all techniques regardless. I don't like lazy CSes.

@Holy Soldier

Fair enough, CS is updated, hopefully to your liking.

[CommanderCool]

@Holy Soldier
I get that, but what I'm asking is if I'll be able to manipulate the lots like Chiaotzu did in Dragon Ball.

[Holy Soldier]

@DoubleYour CS is good. I didn't get to post up the RP today, but since tomorrow starts a four-day weekend, I'll get all of that done.

@CommanderCoolIt's going to depend on what GM freedoms I grant on the circumstance. If I allow you to narrate your entire match, then yes. If you wind up going PvGM, then it may not go the way you hoped. But if it's ever PvGM, then it's a story point.

[Holy Soldier]

Here is the OOC. I am currently working on the IC. roleplayerguild.com/topics/175906-sag…

If you know your CS was approved, then go ahead and transfer it over to the Character Thread.
