[OOC] Tales Of Shizuyama (Far-Eastern Monster Girl RP)

[WanderingDragon]

Man, I just realized I'm behind on various stuff. Wyn's supposed to be looking for her sister who's involved with Varjo, and I just realized seems to have little interaction with the group itself.

[PaulHaynek]

@WanderingDragon

I think my next post will involve Wyndressa somewhat, a bit.

[WanderingDragon]

@PaulHaynek Perhaps. But, what would happen? I put out the idea of a storyline, but didn't elaborate on it much.

[PaulHaynek]

@WanderingDragon
Uhh, well. It ain't nothing big, just a minor interaction.

Oh but you can PM your ideas about Wyn's personal adventure so I can set it up.

[AzureKnight]

Post is out for the Hangai siblings.

Made a small edit to my post.

[FrogRFlowR]

The spider shagged the Goblin. Well, well well. :O

[PaulHaynek]

Come talk to Takeshi~

Make him feel as uncomfortable as possible~

[Dark Cloud]

I feel like shit for missing all these posts I'm absolutely lost

[PaulHaynek]

@Dark Cloud

Worry not! Rest assured that you are missing very little since most of the posts are just catching the main NPC up with what happened in the beach.

[Dark Cloud]

@PaulHaynek Thank you Paul, I'll try my best to be more diligent.

[FrogRFlowR]

@Dark Cloud Don't feel bad - life happens. If you ever need help for a hook to to get back in I am sure everyone would be willing to help - just gotta ask!

Ochimusha

Magic/Abilities/Equipment

Silver Weapon: Like all Ochimusha, after her death Roku was raised with her sword now a silver mamono sword.

Iaijutsu: Of all the different arts, fighting styles and parts of being a warrior, Roku was most versed in Iaijutsu; the art of counter and quick draw. Of all techniques, her transformation affected that part only. Normally basic Iai techniques and kamas were now infused with the fire magic she seemed to have been imbued with during her death. All of these attacks must be launched from a sheathed position;

Ichimonji-Giri – A horizontal cut sending a 'sharp' wave of fire in a line. 'Cutting' is done by melting through objects or enemies not strong or hard enough to withstand or evade the attack. Roku's only ranged attack.

Suichyoku-Giri – A vertical downward cut. The sword is drawn in such a way that it arcs downwards and hit the ground un front of Roku, unleashing a powerful fiery explosion.

Kesa-Giri & Joho-Giri – Diagonal downward and upward cuts respectively. The sword is magically heated to extreme level while in the sheathe and attacks with abnormal levels of force and cutting power. Weaker attacks that takes less of a toll out of the undead warrior.

Tsuka-ate – A 'fake' draw of the sword that actually aims to use the hilt of said sword to hit the enemy in one quick motion. The strength of Roku's hit is immensely empowered so that not only it pushes back most enemies it would hit, but also throw her backwards in a more favorable position to use her other techniques.

Morote-tsuki – A technique in which Roku draws the sword and cut first, but the first cut is quickly followed by a thrust which is the true part of this attack. If the thrust land, the blade will not actually piece the flesh - but it will pierce the soul of the target. When the sword is then removed from the opponent, a part of it's soul will follow. This seemingly does not affect the opponent at all, but it gives Roku some part of her opponent's soul energy. It strengthen her by giving her one aspect of her enemy, be an ability, trait or physical prowess. The trait gained is not necessarily the same one of done on the same target multiple times, and seems to be random. The soul goes back fully to the owner, if still alive. If slain, Roku will feast on the essence.

Background
Roku is - or was - your average Shizuyama warrior. Well, maybe above average as she was known to be extremely vigilant in her training and quite good in more than one of the Bushi ways. While she was skilled in horse riding, bows and the way of the sword nothing was quite as impressive as her Iaijutsu - the art of drawing and countering. Of course, Iaijutsu was not exactly a battledfield terchnique nor a fighting technique but it could be useful at some times and it built patience and discipline.

Roku was reserved but stern. She was respected by her peers, and despite not being the strongest warrior she joined the war effort when they learned of the Vajran invasion. Along with the other warriors she helped prepare the beach where the enemy would land. She helped train and equip simple peasants and ready all kind of provisions and defenses. She did her part for defense of her homeland. They knew death was certain, and Roku was ready to welcome it. She just did not expect it to be so...fast.

She and a small band of warriors were taken by surprise by the invaders. They were separated from the bulk of the defenders when the ships hit the beach faster than they thought, and the group was ready to die. That was when a shadow came over them followed by a strong noise and...an explosion? Everything was dark after that, and Roku woke up further away from the beach in terrible pain. Her body was shattered and her companions were nowhere to be found...but more importantly, as her senses came back she felt pain. Terrible pain. Around her raged an inferno brought forth by whatever threw her, here companions and the Vajrans away. She was on fire, but still alive. She screamed, but no sound came out. After what seemed like hours of agony, her eyes finally began to close but...she felt a strong pain in her chest. Still, darkness came over her.

...Yet, Roku woke up. In the middle of the night, in a clearing of burnt woods and bodies, she woke up under the moon but something had changed. Looking down at her skin under the moon light, she found her skin extremely pale and with a 'sickly' tone. Not much was left of her clothing, so Roku managed to cover herself with bandages and clothing in tatters from bodies around, as well as one or two piece of armors in relatively good shape.

She felt...different, but fine. By the time she realized her memory was a bit foggy, she was walking in a direction. By the time she realized that she knew not why...only that she was drawn there. Roku had no idea of the extent of her transformation into a Mamono nor how it would, and already did, affect her personality and powers and skills but she would soon find out.

Iaijutsu: Of all the different arts, fighting styles and parts of being as warrior, Roku was most versed in Iaijutsu; the art of counter and quick draw.

Normally basic Iai moves were now infused with the fire magic she seemed to have been imbued with during her death. All of these attacks must be launched from a sheathed position;

[Slypheed]

Well...damn.
Someone else made an Ochimusha.

[PaulHaynek]

@Slypheed

Oh, dear. Were you planning on an Ochimusha character as well?

[Slypheed]

@PaulHaynek
Yup

[PaulHaynek]

@Slypheed

Well, nothing's really stopping you from making her anyway.

I don't mind 2 Ochimushas in the RP.
