Life in another world as a Enemy Mob


An Introduction

A roleplay inspired by such works as Overlord , 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' and a bit of 'So I’m a Spider, So What?' amongst other minor ideas taken from other media. This is Isekai rp focusing on group of people (the players) from various walks of life (bonus if the characters knew each other in their past life) reincarnating into another world as (as the title suggests) The Monsters of fantasy. Of course you'll start off weak and grow your abilities throughout the roleplay. But thats not all as this is based on Isekai, You can design a 'Tier 0' Skill unique to your character that isn't present in others from your race. Perhaps its a skill that allows a normally blood-crazed monster (e.g a Oni) to resist their thirst enough to almost interact normally with other races. Or perhaps it does the exact opposite and intensifies their blood-rage into something that goes beyond normal Oni.

Though that brings us to the concept of who would a monster fight. Well besides other monsters (the food chain is very noticable), Humans are commonly tasked with executing monsters (Heros are quite renowned at doing this and should probably be avoided!), Elves are particularly murderous to monster-kin. Dwarfs would refuse trade with monsters on principles of pride. Etc. Life is tough for those of the monster inclination. But of course its up to the party to try and establish their foot-hold in the world. Maybe you will work together to bring equal rights to all races ushering in a golden age. Or maybe you'll fit perfectly into the role people are trying to push you into and act the villain towards a world that is naturally hostile to you.

Whatever you choose, its your life in another world!


The Welcoming


Hello there and welcome to the interest check for my Isekai rp about being reincarnated as a monster in another world (think a monster from Dnd or a Yokai), The way I plan on running this roleplay is as an open-world type deal, where the players are free to explore/interact/Commit Atrocities (if its in character) and the world will respond to that (and them) in turn. Now that is not an excuse to go full 'troll' on other players but it is just to explain the freedom players will have in terms of how they wish to do things.

Below you'll find some meta/mechanical information on certain things within the roleplay (like skill classification, and the different non-human races present that are not deemed 'monsters').

Well, you said you'd cut a deal for me, so here we are. I'm fine with editing if necessary, though.

Name: Lin Quan
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: "A simple affair."
Though he is most often seen with this appearance, Lin's true form is far closer to what one would expect of a Qinglong—in other words, a large serpentine dragon of about 7.5 meters in length covered in azure blue scales, with deer-like antlers in the place of horns and a pair of 'whiskers' extending from near his nose.
Personality: Compared to what one might expect of a 'dragon' in context of the 'New World', Lin Quan is far less greedy and self-serving, often acting to benefit a whole rather than just himself. Though he is not wholly selfless in his mannerisms, those who he deems as allies can expect aid should they ever desire it. That being said, he is not necessarily the most outgoing of people, often taking a more distant tone in conversation in most scenarios. However, when issues arise, Lin is often one of the first to posit possible solutions or answers in turn.
Despite his apparent lack of relevant social skills, he can read people to an extent and is more than willing to continue conversations should he be prompted. Often times, he demonstrates by means of actions, not words, and thus gains relevance like that among his peers instead.
History: A college student from China who had traveled overseas for his studies, Lin had never stood out by any means other than his own studies. Even as a student, Lin had mostly kept to himself, mostly engrossing himself in exam preparation and experiments during his free time. His own successes then had led to his subsequent eligibility to study overseas, and the young man had gladly taken that opportunity when it presented itself. Once he had left the endless cycle of examinations and studying, though, Lin found himself with far more free time than he had expected; one thing led to another, of course, and soon enough he had come to engage himself with the global presence that was the internet far more actively, and with it all of the cultures of the world in turn. He did not stray from his studies despite this, though, but being dragged left and right by classmates who wanted to introduce, watch, or play things with him made that far less of a priority.
Though the world had opened up to him, Lin found his time cut abruptly short due to a particularly nasty car crash; the details of the incident were never fully known to him, of course, but all that he knew before his consciousness had faded was that his death was all but certain. Imagine his surprise, then, when he found himself as he was now!

  • Appearance: "Is that really your best idea? How comforting..."
  • Name: Ravy
  • Age: 8
  • Gender: Female
  • Personality: Ravy's most frequent expression is a rather pokerfaced one. After that, a glare. Ravy's demeanor is a sarcastic and somewhat irritable one. She is quick to criticize others in a deadpan fashion, and her sarcastic comments are always done without even the slightest amount of mercy. She has absolutely no mercy for the stupid. She's also lacking in patience, and grows exasperated and annoyed quite quickly. Naturally, this prompts her sarcasm to bleed through much more quickly. Aside from her sarcastic attitude, Ravy's new form has a penchant for sweets that she struggles to ignore. It's very easy to manipulate her via the usage of anything sweet, which is embarrassing to her but not something she can really do anything about. Having a sweet tooth is most certainly a trying weakness. In spite of her pokerfaced sarcasm and irritable attitude, Ravy manages to have a strong set of morals. No amount of stupidity she dealt with in her previous life was able to squeeze that out of her in any regard. She dislikes seeing innocent people endangered, and has a strong stance against abuses of power(which is something she did have to deal with in her previous life and lead to its end). Finally, she still is awkward and easily-flustered about her new form, as being a little girl, even one that is a low-level demon, is a very strange experience for her. Really, the low-level demon part makes it even stranger.
  • History: Tsugihara Hiro was a middle-level salaryman at a programming company. He had spend some time, now, dealing with frustrating behavior from both above and below. His usual reaction to this had become to deal with it with venomous sarcasm whenever he was able. But he wasn't utterly without dreams. He wanted to advance his position. He wanted to make enough money not only to live by, but ideally to support a family. He admittedly had a bit of a thing for a fellow office worker, but he'd never brought it up to her. He had only recently learned that their boss was abusing his position to destroy the lives of anyone under him he took even the slightest issue with, especially of female employees. He was humiliating employees he didn't like, threatening to fire anyone who had a problem with it, and made working in the company utter misery as time went on. Hiro managed to record evidence of these acts and submitted it to the higher ups, successfully getting his boss fired.
    Unfortunately, this act of justice would also be what ended his life.
    Hiro was attacked by his former boss when going home from work one day, pushed into moving traffic. His body was crushed under a truck's wheel. His last thoughts were wishing for a second chance... and then...

Appearance:



Names:

Old World: James

New World: Do undead Will o Wisps have names?

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Personality: Back in the Old World, James was a friendly guy who simply liked to help out others and serve as a mentor or a guide to those who needed it. Although, ironically, he often found it difficult to ask or accept from help from others whenever he was in need. Often suffering alone and in silence, James would seemingly have grumpy phases where he would oscillate between being a very talkative, helpful, joke-cracking, friendly person, and a gloomy, quiet and distant recluse. But, one thing was certain, James would always figure out his problems one way or another as years of being independent had made him resourceful. He just needed time, and eventually would return to his cheery self.

Other than that, he's generally a talkative fellow who cracks jokes and puns pretty often as long as it's appropriate.

History: Prior to finding himself in the New World, James was a diligent, hardworking young attorney in one of the largest law firms in the world. While most attorneys only did a handful of pro-bono cases per year, James's yearly casework had a significant portion specifically allocated for pro-bono and public interest cases. Although that ate into his hours billed, he was a damn lawyer and wouldn't starve any time soon. Life was comfortable for him and he found his work to be very fulfilling and challenging. He didn't need to have a penthouse in the downtown area. He grew up with modest means and found the decadence and opulence of the elite to be too much for him.

Life was good for James. While he didn't have a lot of time to meet people and to have a lot of relationships, he found meaning and passion in his work. Tragically, the last thing he recalls of his old life is him driving in a storm back home from court when a utility pole fell right in front of him and sparks flying everywhere.

Inventory:
N/A

Tier Zero Skill:

Metamorphosis: James, after periods of great difficulty or challenge, has the ability to "grow" and evolve as a being depending on the decisions and actions that James made or took. (All subject to GM's opinion)

Skills:

Wrote this in about an hour but was thinking about it for most of the day. If it seems rushed, had an early bed time, I can make any required edits after stuff happens. Hope its acceptable, especially given the tier zero. Was struggling to come up with something that would mesh well. I guess its akin to what two others have included in their apps, but I can gladly change it out for something else. Like I dunno, some sort of skill akin to when Link picks up weapons and instantly knows how to use them.

Have a good one, I'm going to bed, hooray for being forced to get up at the crack of dawn, eh?

Also uh, I considered forgery kit as her tool, but decided against it since thinking about it...its kinda super op for starting out in retrospect.

@DocRock@Suneli

Both of you are showcasing "Adaptation" Tier zero, So this applies to both of you similiarly. Firstly you need to explain if the adaptations are permanently or temporary (like a small boost in speed against a fast enemy vs a permanent speed boost) If it is the latter then you need to explain what level of passive/skill the adaptation will grant.

TLDR: going to need a little more detail on the tier zero

This is the main issue with both of your sheets as of current.

@Rune_Alchemist

Going to need some more context on 'Skill link' are the skills a permanent bestowment (if so then tier 4 is not the proper tier for it) or are they temporary bestowments.

@1Charak2
When it comes to this, its less "adapting to combat" and more "a faster rate of learning." So if say, Glaive wished to learn how to use say, thieves tools, she'd be able to become adept with them much sooner than say, someone without the skill. Meant to be a reflection of how machines can be trained to learn at a rate often times drastically faster than humans. Partially takes inspiration from the 2b2t robot uprising they have ongoing.

However, if that still presents an issue for the Tier Zero, I can change it to something more clear like "Accelerated Learning" instead, to avoid clashing with things. I was rushed for time last night, but I can easily makes changes now.

DnD's rulebooks make for fun resources for character creation tbh.

Alternatively, I could avoid something that goes for "faster rate of learning," and go with one of the following ideas I just thought of while mulling over my character's setup.

World of Disguise - Some sort of skill that allows for limited "shifting" for aiding in disguises. Could be limited to usage of "once per long rest" or something, forcing careful usage of the skill. Could also be limited to whoever she's observed enough to know their general body structure.

Vocal Mimicry - After hearing a person's voice a certain number of times, Glaive can mimick their vocal patterns, assisting in disguises.

Had a third idea but somewhere between writing the prior two and having some soda, forgot it.

@1Charak2 Finishing up my character. Is it fair to assume that the mood of the story will be somewhere between Konosuba and Overlord?

I'd say that its a bit more overlord then konosuba in terms of how the races react to eachother. But theres no super overpowered Crypt King.

Really the world revolves around player choices and can become darker/lighter in tone depending on actions.
