[OOC] Kairelith: Waking Up To Another World

[Travesty]

Your life has just ended. May it be due to a horrendous accident, or a natural cause of death, it doesn't matter.

Yet, for some odd reason, you find your self waking up in a strange place. You are in a vast plain that stretches out as far as the eyes can see. At first, there seem no other signs of life in there, just the eternal stretch of grass before you.

But to your surprise, 4 other figures started to stir almost at the same time as you. First is a boy a little older than you, then followed by two girls wearing the same type of ornate dresses, and then a young boy not older than 10.

Confused, you began to approach one of them — the older boy — however, you are answered by hostility. He kept on shouting at you in a language you can't understand. The others stared in the same confusion as you.

And then...

"Translator level 1 acquired!"

All 5 of you stopped on your tracks, surprised at the sudden announcement. Although you are pretty sure it didn't sound like an actual sound you hear, its as if it came from inside your head. Suddenly, you understood one another.

"Welcome to Kairelith. Your new life begins here. Please accept the goddess Kaireth's blessing as a commemoration of your arrival."

A sudden surge of energy filled your body, slightly disorienting you, but recovered just as quickly.

"Decide your path. A second chance was given to you by the merciful goddess, use it wisely."

And then, there was silence.

Appearance:

________________________________________

Level: ((everyone starts at Level 1, as we progress we update this along with most of the character stats))

Health Points: ((Endurance x 10))

Mana: ((Intellegence / 2))

General Stats: ((all characters starts out with 5000 points that you can allocate to the parameters below))
• Strength -
• Endurance -
• Intellegence -
• Agility -
• Dexterity -
• Luck -

Acquired Skills: ((everyone starts with 3 skills max, these are skills which are pretty common, it can manifest on multiple people at the same time, although since you are from another world, these skills are slightly better compared from other people's))
• Translator Level 1 ((default skill, everyone has it))
•
•

Extra ((this is your unique skill, no one in the world has it except for you, you can only have 1, choose from the list below))
• Kaireth's Blessing: ((name of skill)) - ((copy the description here))

Kaireth's Blessing Unique Skill

• All Weapon Mastery - enable user to wield all types of weapon at its 100% potential regardless of mastery. Further leveling up this skill will unlock a sub-skill Weapon Copy, allowing the user to make a replica of any weapon they come in to contact with.
• All Elemental Affinity (reserved) - enable user to use all elemental magic at its 100% potential regardless of mastery. Further leveling up this skill will unlock a sub-skill Savant, allowing user to automatically learn a magic spell just by seeing it being executed.
• Greater Forage - automatically enhances item's quality obtained from foraging or by killing monsters by 3 ranks. If item is in the highest quality already, nothing will happen. Further leveling up this skill will unlock a sub-skill Greater Appraisal, allowing users to know more details of [but not limited to] a specific item that can't be determined by a normal Appraisal skill.
• Greater Item Box - grants access to a dimensional space with unlimited capacity to store items. Time does not pass in this space, thus, food or any perishables will not rot while inside. User cannot store living things in here.
• Online Shop - grants user access to online shopping. User can order anything from the original world through this skill by using Kairelith's currency. Any machine (ex. anything ran by electricity) bought from Online Shop will automatically be converted to a magical tool, thus, instead of electricity, the item will be operated entirely by the user's mana. Some items will have additional effect once used in Kairelith, say, food purchased from Online Shop would add extra stats to whoever eats it for specific span of time. (I say be creative on this one)
• Gluttony (reserved) - if user have this skill, leveling up would be impossible. User progress will be measured by Gluttony skill. By consuming monsters, or world items, user will gain partial stats from that target (original host parameter / 2 = gained stats). As an example, after user consumed a level 1 Slime with stats of Str 13, Edr 7, Int 4, Agi 10, Dex 5, Luk 8, he will receive +6.5 Str, +3.5 Edr, +2 Int, +5 Agi, +2.5 Dex, +4 Luk. Further leveling up this skill will unlock sub-skill Assimilation, allowing user to inherit some skill or attributes from consumed monsters/items.
• Physical Augmentation - gain additional 2000 points (multiplied by base level) to Strength and Edurance stats.
• Magic Insurgence - gain additional 2000 points (multiplied by base level) to Intellegence and Dexterity stats.
• Greater Cunning (reserved) - gain additional 2000 points (multiplied by base level) to Agility and Luck stats.

Rules

• Follow standard RP rules.
• In case of death, you can start a new character. However, the new character won't have any memory of your previous character or the world, which means you'll have figure everything out again from 0. New characters starts with a new blessing.
• All characters starts with 3 skills max plus 1 unique skill, however, as the story progresses, they can acquire more skills and on some rare occations the goddess Kaireth may also interfere and bestow them additional skills if the situation requires it (feel free to discus it with me thru PM if you ever feel like your character needs a little boost in skills).
• Try to post once each day, or if not, just try to be active as much as possible. Check the thread as often as you can, or say hi or whatever, just so we know you're still alive. After all, its lonely living off in another world.
• I'm open to suggestions, don't hesitate to hit me a PM if you feel like adding more details into the RP or something.
• Most of all, have fun!

[Sedjwick]

It's very vague so far, but I'm interested. What exactly is our purpose in this new world? Why were we reincarnated here? Also, dibs on the 10 year old boy, assuming I decide to stick around.

[Travesty]

@Sedjwick thanks for the interest! Well, its kinda intended that way. Its for us to find out about those things once we jump right in.

[RisqueBoots]

Confirming my participation here as requested! I supposed I'm claiming a Girl slot and I'd like to also claim the Glutton unique skill if that's allowed. I'll see about working up a character sheet promptly!

[Sedjwick]

Okay. I'm working on a character as we speak. One quick question, though. Is there a cap for how high any of our stats can be starting out, or could we theoretically allocate all of them to one stat (not that I would personally want to do that, for reasons that should be obvious)?

[Sedjwick]

Also, I'd like to claim the All Elemental Affinity special skill, if that's all right.

@RisqueBoots

Awesome! Sure, I'll reserve both for you.

@Sedjwick

What can I say, I hate restrictions. So by all means, feel free to allocate from 1 to 5000 on a stat you like.

[Travesty]

Also, I'd like to claim the All Elemental Affinity special skill, if that's all right.

@Sedjwick

Right, reserving it for ye.

[Sedjwick]

@Travesty Like I said, I'm not going to do that, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't buff up any one stat too much due to certain natural restrictions due to the nature of my character (a chimney sweeper who died at 10 years old probably has relatively low endurance and is likely to also be physically weak).

[RisqueBoots]

Posted up a character sheet! Let me know if there's anything wrong with it at all and I'll fix it up.

Sounds good to me.

@RisqueBoots

I like her! Although one thing I'd like to point out is that common skills does not necessarily have to be connected to your blessing. You can take it as a chance to branch out from it actually. I would suggest skills that would help you survive early out in the story. Though I'm curious, what does overeating do?

[RisqueBoots]

Glad you like her!

As to the skills, I did think about going with other things but I thought a sort of specialized approach early on might be best (also I couldn't think of more general skills). As to what overeating does, that one (and the other one) are pulled from that one isekai with the girl who reincarnated as a monster-spider, and I believe (might be misremembering) it allows for consuming things without issue as it levels up (since otherwise eating most creatures would be pretty impossible).

@RisqueBoots

Fair enough. I guess it make sense, you wouldn't be able to eat mid to large size monsters right off the bat. Also Jackie has a pretty balanced stats, and you could just use her sheer strength to subdue monsters for now. You should be good then.

I'll post my character in a few, after I get home.

[RisqueBoots]

Mhm, I thought going just pure average would be good since that way any "specialty" she develops stat wise is a result of her way of leveling up. Also it helps prevent any of her stats from being extremely low for a little bit.

Looking forward to seeing what your, and everyone elses, characters are!

[RC3]

Totes still interested. Will get something done soonish.

Got my eye on that greater cunning. And male please.

[Sedjwick]

Gonna post what I have of my character so far just to get it out there and see if anything should be changed as well as to express my continued interest in this. I just need to figure out one more skill and how to describe Milo's personality and he should be good to go.

Milo Thomas; London, England (1899)

Name: Milo Thomas

Age: 10

Origin: London, England, 1899

Appearance: Milo is small and thin for his age, even by the standards of lower class Victorian England. This is partly due to his natural build, but is more due to being born to a dirt poor family and being underfed as a result. Milo barely reaches 4 feet in height, but his poor posture makes him seem shorter. He is rail thin, and if you were to take his shirt off, you would be able to clearly see each of his ribs. He is filthy and his skin is very pale from being covered with what may be a permanent layer of grime. His blond hair is on the long side and black with filth (mostly soot), sitting in a rat's nest on top of his head and serving as home to more than a few fleas and who knows what else. His face is gaunt and narrow with dull green eyes and sunken cheeks as well as some premature wrinkles and worry lines (faint, but visible).

_____________________________________

Personality:

Short Background: Milo was born in the year 1889 in London, England to a poor family. His parents could hardly afford to support themselves, let alone a child, but they loved Milo to death. Still, love does not put food on the table, and Milo's parents' jobs hardly did any better. There were many nights when all three Thomases would go to bed hungry for want of money to buy food. To try to make enough money just to survive, Milo took to sweeping chimneys at the age of 7. His small size, like all the other boys who swept chimneys, made it easy for him to fit into the chimneys to sweep them. Unfortunately, chimney sweeping is a hazardous job, and by the age of 9, Milo suffered from lung disease due to all the soot he was constantly inhaling from the chimneys he cleaned. By the age of 10 lung disease, malnutrition, and other health problems claimed young Milo's life.

@Travesty What amount of points would be considered as "average"? Like a typical high schoolers?

@RC3

For someone from another world, I say about 800 to 1000-ish. But even at that level, we're slightly overpowered compared to locals. And yep, reserving the last boy and Greater Cunning for you.

Looking good! Poor kid, I wanna adopt him. :<

[RisqueBoots]

Aww, poor Milo! Hopefully this new life will be a lot better for him.

Ren seems like a fun one too! Poor guy couldn't take going outdoors and being social.

Also, I like the potential contrasts between characters so far.

[Travesty]

Just posted my character. I'll probably do a few more adjustmemts on him later, but for now, I'll leave him for everyone's reference.
