[OOC] Genshin Impact - Eikons [Current Chapter: Geo]

[Sho Minazuki]

Premise

The world of Teyvat sees an age of increased prosperity as the Electro nation of Averton launches the age of industry, where man steps away from the providence of gods and spirits, and instead by their own hands, takes hold of their own futures. Yet, not every person in this new age seeks to create a future for the good of all, there are those who seek selfish ends with the new technology, only focused on the benefits that they alone will experience.

The many peoples of this diverse land experience a myriad of problems, as does every age of civilization does. Rebellions, whispers of war, conspiracy surrounding the rich and powerful, and lawless lands seeking order. Way of life in this Teyvat can be unclear, especially for those living on the fringes. Those who hold Visions considered the last envoys of the Archons.

Geo Chapter
Red-Gold Rivers in the Desert Sand

The great Sea of Dunes that encompasses more than 90% of Al-Marabar stretches on endlessly, the sands constantly shifting like a great big sea. In the distance one might see one of the many sand ships wandering the sands, some as small as fishing boats, as big as galleys, or even ones owned by the most powerful Sand Pirate crews, as big as small towns and cities. Among these is the capital, headed by the Sand King Axon, and his crew, the Burning Suns. The newly crowned Sand King is one who loves the gladiatorial combat the region is known for, encouraging other large crews to build their own arenas, and giving prisoners more chances to prove themselves. The many events and tournaments have proven to be enjoyable for the peoples of the region, and even career gladiators have begun emerging among the prisoners, some may even refuse freedom to fight for longer.

Of course, not all are happy with the new King, particularly the Aldugan Spines, a large sand pirate group that had always opposed Axon and his brother, the former Sand King. Whisperings of late have connected them to people from Averton, but whisperings and rumors will remain so, until the veil is lifted, and those daring would dare try to find the truth.

The beginning of this chapter starts on the Sand King's ship and by extension capital city, Zweidaya. Axon the Sand King, holds a grand tournament gathering all of the Sand Lords in the realm together to present their best gladiators to determine the strongest. To the winning city goes great riches directly from his coffers. As the grand gladiatorial battles take place, a conspiracy begins to brew.

Nations of Teyvat

Major Elemental Nations

Fuhan - Huo Dynasty - Pyro

The Huo Dynasty, ruling over Fuhan enjoys an upward boom in technological progress, taking to the new industry pushed by Averton, and making use of it to heavily expand their pyrotechnics and gunpowder technologies, leading to a military with exceptional firepower. The Emperor of the Huo Dynasty is a powerful figure in the global stage, one with power, and rumors of invasion and war are abound around them.

The peoples of Fuhan live in a prosperity built off of war, and the belief of the strength of their country above others. The order of Fuhan is rarely matched within its borders, and its people hold the Pyro Archon in high esteem. The aggressive nature and policies of this country have given it a reputation where people may not necessarily wish to deal with them in some capacities.

Yato - Yato Shogunate - Anemo

The country of Yato had enjoyed a relative period of peace, isolationist policies leaving only merchants as a means to communicate with the outside world, a decision that was made by the Imperial Yato Emperor and Anemo Archon many years prior. However, today, Yato faces a crisis of identity. The Anemo Archon has disappeared, and while some cling to the old ways, others see the world beyond their borders have changed, and wish to ensure their home can equip themselves against it.

With the disappearance of the Anemo Archon, the governing bodies that had been established by the Archon took up the role of acting leadership. This governing body is currently known as the Yato Shogunate, a military governing body, and their goal is to preserve the authority of the Anemo Archon. However, this has been a long 15 years already, and the people who live in Yato have grown tired of it, seeking to overthrow the Shogunate, and help the country and its peoples, rather than the authority of an Archon who has not been there for them.

Averton - Federacy of Averton - Electro

The industrious country of Averton, ruled by the Electro Archon, is the center of industry and progress, so-called the City of Technology, boasting many experimental and proven gadgets for day to day life. Every day, one could take a short walk on the streets of this cobblestone city, and see something new. This city however is not kind, as it is known for its highly competitive businesses and companies.

The peoples of Averton over the years of industrial revolution have experienced a steady increase in the wealth gap. Those who are poor, are truly poor, and those who are wealthy, are more than simply wealthy. Though it is not so bad as most are in squalor, but it is enough that to many, it is clear who the 1% are just by looking at them. The industrial revolution of Averton has led to merchants becoming more wealthy than they could possibly imagine prior by owning the many factories throughout the country.

Al-Marabar - Sand King of Al-Marabar - Geo

The nation of Al-Marabar is one constantly at odds with itself. As the region is mostly a sea of shifting sands, strange sand-faring vehicles traverse these great dunes like a sea, and upon them ride pirates and warlords, looking to loot or kidnap to add to their mobile fortress cities. Only one warlord is known to be able to command all of the warlords in times of need, the Geo Archon.

In the great sandy seas of Al-Marabar, you are either a sand pirate under a warlord, or living in harsh conditions at one of the villages within the nation. There are very few choices for prosperity as a citizen beyond trying to join a warlord and their wandering cities, and if the warlord is kind, they may allow citizens to live in their city.

Helgaskr - Kingdom of Helgaskr - Cryo

This icy nation, known for its strength and resilience, is naturally isolated, hidden away behind the mountains, but those who have met its hardy people are quick to understand that strength is everything for these people. In such an environment where even the wildlife could spell an early end for them, it is easy to understand this. The Cryo Archon is said to be a peerless warrior themselves, though despite this, they have shown recent interest in Averton’s technological progress.

The peoples of Helgaskr are a hardy bunch, though few in number. Even the women of this land practice martial arts as a means to stay fit and ready. Despite their muscle-headed mindset, they have a rather rich culture of dressmaking, knitting, weaving, and embroidery. This is due to the sheep that are native to their region who can only graze and live in such cold climes, and have a rare, high quality wool.

Lascuta - The High Court of Lascuta - Hydro

The center of culture and the arts, Lascuta is the nation of Hydro, known for its beautiful vistas, canal cities, and performing arts. This nation possesses a special status when it comes to relations with others. Their many centuries of building up cultural prestige has made them the perfect platform to promote developments being made around the world today, and so despite their standing military being so small, they are afforded excellent protection via the private militaries of those with vested interests. The Hydro Archon is a recluse, and is said to only appear when they fancy something being shown in the city.

Living in Lascuta, you are either an artisan of decent wealth, a member of high society, or here illegally. Lascuta has strict standards for anyone to live here, and makes their money off of investment in their venues, and to keep such venues pretty, they need pretty people to fill their streets. As many say, this nation is the height of vanity, and such a statement feels like an understatement upon visit. Of course, that’s just for living in the city, anyone is free to travel here and visit… Granted they can afford the fare.

Walton - United Republic of Walton - Dendro

The recently established United Republic of Walton, with close ties to Averton on their founding, is a large expanse of land of both dry, rocky desert, and lush, green mountains and forests. This young nation has not the people to fill it just yet, and so with things so far apart, lawless men ride the great expanses, robbing others and trying to make a life for themselves, when an honest one had turned their backs on them. The quick adoption of firearms by the peoples of Walton has made their very best fighters peerless gunslingers.

Walton almost several decades prior used to only be desert, but a man known as the first Dendro Archon had come to this land, and seeing its people under such harsh conditions in the hot desert had bequeathed special seeds to its people. They planted it in the barren desert, and from it, lush greenery and forests grew. Walton at this time though was not called such, known as Uvera, however many decades later, people who were exiled from Averton found this land, and settled. There were many battles with the indigenous population of Uvera, but eventually they would with the superior firearms supplied by Averton, manage to establish dominance. The peoples of old Uvera pray for the Dendro Archon to come and save them once more.

Character Sheet

Playable Races

Hider

Standard Races

Humans - The most populous race living in Teyvat, their origins date back so far that it’s impossible to truly figure out when they began. Naturally being the most populous race has its share of benefits, such as status and being more free from being discriminated against, though they are also known as a rather dextrous and innovative race. Many of the rich and noble families of Teyvat, particularly in Averton and Lascuta are humans. Humans also vary from region to region, with the hotter, sandier areas having more dark skin, while colder areas have lighter skin, as a generalization.

Professional - When executing any action in regards to your profession, gain an advantage in the interaction. Depending on your profession you may also use that to persuade others in certain situations.

Beastmen - Perhaps the second most common race, though just as rare as some others if one is to look at specific animal beastmen. Overall, beastmen are not too different from humans, save for a few traits similar to their animal counterparts. Cats may be more limber, birds may have a lighter physique, wolves may have greater physical strength, and so on.

Wild Instinct - Gain physical advantages based on your species. This can be from acrobatics and agility like that of a cat, or physical stamina for dogs and bears.

Elves - Quite a rare race, almost as rare as some of the others. On the surface they appear no different from humans, a lot of the same physical abilities that a human might be able to achieve, is also achievable by them. However, to see what truly sets them apart is to meet one that is a vision bearer. Elves have a great talent for elemental arts, even at a very young age they display a great affinity for crafting and executing elemental skills and items.

Elemental Bloodline - When using any technique that involves the user’s element, they have the option to execute it as if their Elemental Mastery affinity was one point higher.

Unique Races

Adeptus - Disciples and creations of the first Pyro Archon, long-lived beings with immense mystical power. They are defined by their Adeptus arts, which are capable of creating their own realities. Adepti are often in search of knowledge and wisdom, usually towards a particular subject, as the accumulation of knowledge is one of the reasons they were created, as to not forget about the past.

Adepti Arts - Half Adepti also benefit from this. This is essentially a third style outside of Fighting Style and Elemental Skill. Adepti Arts allow the user to create living constructs to fight with them, usually made from their own element. They can be plants, animals, or apparitions. These must be listed as techniques.

Yaoguai - Powerful beasts that live in the lands of Fuhan, but able to assume a human form. Over time, Yaoguai have adapted and learned to coexist with the citizens of Fuhan but are still widely seen as savage beasts. They possess great strength and resilience, and their beast forms give them an edge in battle. It is said the current Pyro Archon has a whole squad of Yaoguai soldiers.

Beast Transformation - Undergo a transformation that increases Endurance and Strength by one stage, as well as change’s one’s form into a demonic beast. During this transformation the Yaoguai’s techniques are locked, except for techniques made specifically for this transformation. They still have access to their vision, so elemental techniques can be made too.

Yokai - Mystical beings from Yato’s long and storied history, often appearing throughout with their own tales. It is said Yokai walk among the people of Yato, having long learned to be one of them. A Yokai’s strengths and weaknesses depend entirely on what kind of Yokai they are, some are talented at using their elements, and others are storied warriors.

Yokai Arts - As a Yokai, gain access to unique mystical arts. The way these manifest vary from Yokai to Yokai. One thing is certain though, and that is that all Yokai have beast transformations. Some can be quite cute, ferocious, or even just plain strange. This is their true form.

Cryptid - In Walton there exists proof of the land’s ancient roots, the roots of the Uvera people. Called divine beasts by the tribes of Uvera, and called cryptids by the people of Walton, they are often strange and unusual creatures. Largely, most of them cannot assume a human form, but among them there are those that are particularly powerful, and are able to do so. Cryptids have a wide variety of possible powers and abilities, but they often correlate to something somewhat alien.

The Unknown - As a Cryptid, gain access to strange abilities depending on what kind of Cryptid they are. Those that are particularly strong can assume a human form as well. Cryptids are also able to hide their form and become functionally invisible.

Witch - In the long past of Averton, when man used swords and shields, there existed a people who were incredible wielders of magical arts. Shunned by the people of Averton they went into seclusion. Today, they still hide among the people, stories of their ancestors and their portrayal as evil people who lured the innocent into deals with the devil still haunt them. Whether or not such stories were true, their command over magic is immense. Typically, witches are women, but male witches have been recorded as well.

Witch’s Sorcery - This trait gives the Witch access to sorcery. Though they may be able to brew potions and carry out rituals, the thing most witches are known for is their sorcery. Things like inflicting a curse upon someone, polymorphing them into frogs or other small animals, and even flying on their broom. There’s a lot more, and they have a lot to do with altering reality on a minor scale.

Noble Beasts - A class of beasts who possess greater intelligence, they are frequently legends in and around the Averton and Lascuta regions. They are beasts with stories more complex than man hunts beast. Vampires, werewolves, succubi, wraiths, and so on.They have often been compared to yokai, but the difference seems to be the nature of their powers.

Nightmare’s Signature - Gain the use of specialized spiritual arts based on your specific species. The other bonus will depend entirely on race, such as the bloodsucking aspect of vampires, or the werewolf transformation.

Jotun - The Jotun are a hardy large race living in the Helgaskr region. Their population is quite small, and they are a peaceful people. An ancient war however has made them forever resentful of the peoples of Helgaskr, though at the time it was called something else. The Jotun possess large bodies, and stone-like skin, and of course, great strength and resilience.

Heart of a Giant - Giants are known for having incredible resilience and strength. Naturally they will have a layer of stony skin that guards them from physical damage, and in exchanges, they will gain one point in strength or endurance. Their bodies can also emit an element if they are a vision wielder, making them dangerous foes, especially if they are a pyro wielder.

Shaitan - In Al-Marabar, it is said if a good man were to one day kill another, or to commit a crime seemingly unprovoked, it would be the fault of the Shaitan, evil spirits who incite evil in the hearts of men. Shaitan themselves though… Do possess this ability, able to push suggestion into the hearts of people they speak with, though it is not explicitly for evil purposes. Sometimes it can be for the good of others. Shaitan compared to their other supernatural counterparts seem somewhat unremarkable, often possessing a mostly human appearance, with the particularly powerful ones possessing horns. Overall however, they are resilient and impressively agile fighters, often relying on their mobility and trickery for combat.

Sly Devil - The Shaitan has a permanent improvement to Skill by 1 point when it comes to movement only. Every so often they can also try to sense doubt in people’s thoughts, and can try and take advantage of that using their magical powers of persuasion. The rules are that there needs to be doubt in the target’s head for there to be any chance of success. If this is used in combat, it has a chance of halting an enemy’s action for just a moment.

In Regards to Half-Races

This is a case-by-case basis, however the ones that are decidedly not possible as a half are Noble Beasts, Cryptids, Beastmen, and Elves. The latter two are already technically partially human, the former two occur in very unnatural ways where they do not breed like regular races.

If you have questions, please bring them to me.

Technology

Hider

Firearms - The advancement of firearms have reached the point of bolt action rifles and revolvers. Early forms of automatic weapons do exist, though in prototype forms. With the usage of the elements however, nations have created various types of firearms.

• Railgun - The nation of Averton have recently created railguns, coming in large or small sizes. The smaller ones are in the form of crossbows, sometimes with a repeater mechanic to load the next shot, while the larger ones are used as siege weapons.
• Dragons Breath - The pyrotechnics of Fuhan have created a kind of explosive blunderbuss. Though the range leaves something to be desired, spread and destructive force more than makes up for it. Also called “bunker busters” due to being able to clear a room in a single blast from a high ordinance model. These weapons come in smaller form as well, able to slung under longer barreled weapons as a secondary fire.
• Geo Generator - Supplies are a difficult thing to come by in Al-Marabar, being mostly desert really does that, and so the technicians of the region have created geo-based firearms that generate their own bullets. In short, they have unlimited ammunition. The only drawback is that these bullets can’t be customized, they can’t be given unique elements, have armor piercing, or any other imaginable aspect. Just rock bullets.
• Dendro Gunpowder - A special gunpowder made from grinding up wood from a special tree cultivated by dendro users. Bullets fired with these cause greenery to sprout from whatever it hits, including people. This can be quite effective for capturing people, as a single shot, even if it misses as long as it lands near them, can end up binding them in thick wooden tendrils.

@Sho Minazuki

Hey. I had a decent amount on my plate and wasn't sure if I could take this RP on as well. Been lurking around the interest sheet, and I decided to throw my hat in again, if that's cool. Got a CS here, let me know if anything needs to be changed.

The Azure Performer

Appearance:

A Dazzling Songstress

“The Wellspring of Truth lies in wait, and my voice wills it to come forth.”

Name: Tiziana Maggiore

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Race: Witch

Appearance: Tiziana is a young woman with striking features, her natural beauty often betwitches many that come across her. Standing at 5’5’’, she is a fair skinned woman with long brown hair and violet eyes. While traveling, she wears an elaborate white and blue dress complete with a slit. The slits reveal thigh-high stockings and end with a lace trim, and she wears opera gauntlets on both arms that are completed in a similar fashion. Some parts of the dress are edged with gold lining, and she wears asymmetrical gold rings on both arms. Her wardrobe is completed with gold lined platform shoes.

Personality: Tiziana’s personality can be best described as something akin to the sea itself. She can be cool and gentle as small ripples, or as wild and raging as large waves crashing onto the shore. She is a woman who follows her own tempo, and enjoys taking her time doing things. As a secret witch, she holds deep knowledge of the sorcerous arts, and naturally approaches problems with a methodical mind. As a songstress, she also can have a whimsical pattern of speaking, which paints her as an eccentric from the eyes of others.

Backstory: Tiziana Maggiore started her life within The High Court of Lascuta, born into a small family of wealthy aristocrats. On the surface it would appear that the young Tiziana had enjoyed a prosperous upbringing and life of high society. However, in reality, the Maggiore family was a clan of witches. They were magic wielders who were tasked with observing the balance between the natural and supernatural planes. Specializing in seid magic, much of Tiziana’s life was dedicated to studying magical sciences and the principles of supernatural entities. Due to her dedication to her studies and wanting to perfect her art, it was at some point during this time that she suddenly received a hydro vision, further adding to her abilities.

As she grew older, she longed for more from her life. So, to expand her interests, and to create a convenient cover for her other life, Tiziana decided to become a songstress. While she did have natural talent as a singer, Tiziana certainly wasn’t above using magic to alter the sound of her voice to make it sound even more entrancing than normal. She had garnered quite the following of fans, and her voice was of some renown in Lascuta. What was at first just a small side hobby became a beloved passion. With her manipulation of water, she also incorporated graceful dances along with her water control to create awe-spectacles during her performances. Eventually, when she came of age and was recognized as a fully fledged witch, her mother sent her off on a journey. Members of their clan become traveling witches in order to observe the natural balances of the world around them and further her studies. This was a plus in her eyes, as she could now spread the sound of her voice in other regions as well and further her fame.

Independents: Sacred Voice: By utilizing her magic-imbued voice, Tiziana is able to strengthen her allies and lift curses. She can also charm animals and weak minded foes to give her an advantage in battle.

Combat

Element: Hydro

Main Weapon Type: Dancer’s Fan

Secondary Weapon: Her voice

Weapon

Name: Luna Nixie -

Description: A ornament dancer fan that Tiziana uses as her main catalyst for her elemental abilities. It has the appearance matching the plumage of a peacock, and glows with an enchanted azure hue when in use.

Weapon Enhancement
Ocean Blessed: An enhancement that makes Tiziana’s fan to more easily synergize with the Hydro element, strengthening her elemental attacks.

Fighting Style: Azure Grace
"Ah…I’m more of a performer than a fighter…”

Torrential Devastation - Tiziana is a delicate lily, due to this she prefers to keep enemies at a distance with large torrents of water, guiding them with Luna Nixie.

Flow like Water - Tiziana takes great pride in her dance moves, which she uses to dodge incoming attackers with precision and grace. Her elegant moves and water illusions confuse enemies, making her harder to hit.

Affinity:
Strength: 1
Skill: 3
Endurance: 1
Elemental Mastery: 4
Elemental Stamina: 3

Elemental Style: Tizana controls waves of water that she uses to attack her foes. She can manifest them as waves, blades, or torrent shots.

Techniques:

Acqua il Passo - Tiziana phases to the side using a dance move and leaves a water image in her original spot. When attacked, the image will explode, dealing small AOE Hydro damage to any foes nearby. The energy fallout goes into her fan, which strengthens her elemental burst.

Finale di Onde Oceaniche - Tiziana gathers a large amount of elemental energy into her fan, then crashes a giant wave into her enemies, dealing AOE Hydro damage to those engulfed in it. Energy tacked on from her previous skill stored in her fan can further strengthen this attack.

The Performance is about to Begin

[Enkryption]

@Sho Minazuki

Pretty much, the same on my end as Azure. But, they've divided the coming workload up, so I can slot back in with my character app, if that's cool.

In case anything needs last minute changes:

It's Elementary!

Race	Age	Gender	Johanna H. Wattzon
Witch	Unknown	Female

Appearance

A rather tall woman, though not unusually so, standing a 5' 9", John is rarely seen outside of her business casual; consisting of a one-piece, backless, black knit dress, which stops at her midthigh and features no sleeves, but a turtleneck, strangely enough. The yarn that knits her dress is a rubber polymer that, "breathes, but doesn't yawn," as John puts it.

To complete the fancy piece, she wears a pair of stylish, stiletto heels that are 100% moulded rubber - custom-made for her feet, like she was Cinderella - but no socks, unless they make comfortable, rubber socks. Her boots aren't the only piece of shaped rubber in her apparel, however, as her unique gloves are also form-fitted rubber, with the pointer and middle finger exposed to serve as the positive and negative connections when interacting with her weapons and standard railgun technology.

Her modesty is covered overall by a long, rubber-lined trench coat that covers her from shoulder to ankle, and hides, not only her figure, but her double-barrel sawn-off shotgun that is strapped to the small of her back on a rubber strap holster that doubles as a bra.

The final piece of her look is the large, round glasses that somehow set well with her look, combining debonair and nerd in one unpredictable pack. Her shoulder-length hair is kept in a low ponytail with a rubber band, while her bangs hang long to the sides and short to the bridge of her nose in the center.

Lastly, though not an article of clothing, John is rarely seen without a cigarette in hand.

---

Personality

John is one of the boys, through and through, ready to throw down and fight dirty, whether the situation calls for it or not. Keen of mind, she studied the effective stability of alcohol and tobacco put under pressure of electricity within the Human body in order to allow herself to drink and smoke with reckless abandon, and to cheat at any drinking game.

Rash, impulsive, and competitive to a fault, John won't back down from a challenge, simply due to pride in herself, and winds up being thrown out of bars - either via a bouncer or a brawl (which, she tends to start).

In a fight, she relies on her brute strength and lightning fast movement to end fights quickly in a one-on-one affair, and her railgun double-barrel sawn-off shotgun to even the playing field when outnumbered.

Her worst traits, among her many bad traits, would be her womanizing and quickness to one night stands. Like a bolt of lightning, she strikes fast and rarely twice -- though, sometimes, lightning strikes birth wildfires...

Backstory

Born on the 6th Day of the 10th Month, the 1,856th child of Dante Superbia, Arch Warlock and Patriarch of the Alighieri Coven, Johanna was born, and her waking cry would bring sparks.

Inscribed on the back of her neck, as a barcode of sorts, were the numbers: 06101856, and set within was her destiny. Affixed to her crib, one of many Masterless Visions bought by the Alighieri Coven would hang; now, revived with the Vision of Electro.

Raised by her birth mother, Luxuria, and her concubine aunts - Gula, Avaritia, Trisitia, Ira, and Invidia - Johanna would develop in a pampered environment, but under the bullying thumbs of plenty of older siblings; brothers and sisters and cousins, all happy to create an environment that would raise not a princess, but a villainess - sorta. Most would call her a tomboy, or even just one of the boys, as Johanna didn’t fit in with her girlier siblings and cousins, but sat well at the table with the rowdier men.

Able to hold back her drink, smoke a pack a day, and pick up women while playing wingman, Johanna would gain the uncreative nickname “John”, as a result. Consequently, John's penchant for ploymorphic potions and disregard for safety has resulted in, at least, nineteen children sired by her loins. However, before all that, she would be known better for her first and only love: solving mysteries. Born with a keen intellect and eye, John would form one of many small coven-clubs within the massive coven, itself, known as the Mystery Magnet Club. Assembled of nosey children, the club would childishly explore the criminal underworld and solve “mysteries” set out by the adults, amused by their antics and growth.

Sadly, as with all things, children grow up, things change, and people drift apart. Separated, and off on their own paths, John would turn her childhood hobby into her adult job; remodeling herself into a Private Eye, and proprietor of The Witching Hour Investigations - expertly solving the problems of the upper class and lower class of Averton alike. Equipped with a pair of knuckle dusters, a shotgun, and a pack of cigarettes, John embroiled herself in anything and everything, regardless of the danger as long as it paid out nicely.

However, some mysteries were better left unsolved, and a warning in the form of a brutal beatdown and her unconscious body being unceremoniously dumped into a crate bound for Al-Marbara would tell John - once she woke up from her temporary coma, that is - one thing:

She got close to something interesting.

Combat

Vision: Electro

Fighting Style

Valedictorian of Hard Knocks Academy

As a proud alumni of Averton's street-smarts created and curated "academy", John learned hard and fast the rules of an unforgiving underworld and made a name for herself in the underground fight clubs - not that she'll speak of it. Mixing hard and fast punches with quick dodges and unpredictable shotgun blasts, John fights with zero respect to honor and puts all chips in to win.

"Never bet on black. Blood runs red, after all."

Main Weapon: Orthodox Southpaw

A pair of knuckle dusters made from an expensive alloy of pure electrium and equally pure copper. Due to their purity, these fist weapons are able to withstand the elemental pressure of John's Vision, and deliver devastating, stunning punches in rapid succession, while keeping her very agile.

Associated Boon(s)

Ambidextrous: Trained equally in orthodox and southpaw boxing styles, John is all but impossible to disarm, as you would need to literally disarm her to keep her from being able to punch you.

Enchantment(s)

Frequency Lock: As paranoid as anyone else from Averton, John has placed a unique enchantment upon her bread and butter weapons, which causes the weapon to synchronize with her bioelectrical wavelength and ignore any other. Because of this, John can track down her weapons, should they be lost or stolen.

Subweapon: Thunderclap

A custom-made railgun in the form of a double-barrel, sawn-off shotgun, which fires two 12-gauge shells per reload, or standard riot rounds (either beanbag or rubber, depending on what is available). This gun is kept on her back.

Associated Boon(s)

Stealth Draw: Ritualistically practiced, John is able to draw her shotgun from her back without betraying her intentions, and equalize the playing field with a thunderous blast.

Enchantment(s)

Frequency Lock: As paranoid as anyone else from Averton, John has placed a unique enchantment upon her bread and butter weapons, which causes the weapon to synchronize with her bioelectrical wavelength and ignore any other. Because of this, John can track down her weapons, should they be lost or stolen.

---

Elemental Style

Golden Gal

Focusing her elemental control into the betterment of her body through her Sorceries, John galvanizes her very body into a lethal weapon, and glows from gold-tinted lightning instead of the normal blue. Due to training her body to tolerate the sheer pressure of internalizing lightning, and using it to power her body, John's lost the ability to externalize it as a projectile.

"Hiraishin? Yeah, some call me that. Most in fear."

---

Techniques

Shock and Awe

Electrifying her muscles, John can force her body to achieve superhuman speed and strength for brief periods of time, similar to an injection of synthetic adrenaline. However, this comes at the cost of lightning burns to her hands and feet, despite her rubber gloves and rubber boots. Extended or extensive usage can lead to severe burns of the dermal, subdermal, and, inevitably, musculature.

Abuse will lead to crippled movement, and paralysis after a time.

Ionizing Purity

"A Quality of Life Spell, if anything," as John puts it. This overcomplicated spell is a godsend to heavy smokers and hard drinkers, by purifying the "negative ions of vice" and removing the bad parts of tobacco and alcohol.

It also diminishes the "positive ions of vice" as well, so it's a give and take. It won't completely remove everything, so the risk of lung cancer and liver cancer are slim to none - but, slim is still a chance.

There is potential to purify other poisons, but they would need to be carefully introduced into her system to be learned and affected by this sorcery.

User discretion is advised.

Kirin's Eyes

Blessed with the Kirin's Eyes, John can enhance her kinetic vision to hyperspeed - granting her what appears to be a sneak peak into the immediate future of her opponents.

Good for cheating at cards and fights in equal measure, but shit for everything else. It is also damaging to John's eyesight, and causes her to require glasses to see in spite of it.

[Sho Minazuki]

@AzureKnight Pretty much a shoe-in actually. You can put her in the character section.

@Enkryption More or less good, although perhaps a couple things.

To better define your sorcery, make a new name to put Ionizing Purity and Shock and Awe under one umbrella for the sake of the Independent. From what I can tell, her sorcery is based on the body, and gives her more control over what it can do and manage.

And I also recommend doing a bit of formatting, it had taken me a little extra time to sift through it. I am allowing the two weapons mainly because it is important for your fighting style, so do bear that in mind. It would be appreciated if the weapons didn't seem to blend together on your sheet.

Other than that, you're good.

Once again I'll be giving out personal independents a little later for everyone so stay tuned for those.

@Sho Minazuki

Cool deal.

@Sho Minazuki

I'm taking these are optional suggestions, though, I'll happily reformat the CS to look better than it's barebones form as I intended to do before I posted it.

[Teyao]

Hey @Sho Minazuki I added a new technique and expanded the backstory a little so I wanted to check with you first

Daddy issues

More intimidating than he really is

Name: Fiske of the Jotun
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Jotun

Appearance:
Fiske has small-cropped hair, and his stony skin is somewhat smooth and with a blue-green tinge to it. His usual vestiments consist of a breechcloth over leather pants adorned with furs and the patrons of his tribe, armlets, and a furred pauldron. He possesses three tattoos given by his mother the first to protect him in battle, the second for luck, and the third to wish him strength when defending others.

Personality:
Living in a small village full of gentle giants had colored Fiske's view of the world in a somewhat naive manner when he first left even though all the adults told him to be wary of the world of man, to always believe that every stranger could be a new foe or an enemy in disguise. Sadly the world proved them correct for the time he chose to leave was a lean year and his naivety has been exploited already a few times in the past leaving him with a budding paranoia and wariness of strangers he tries his best to control.

Calm and sometimes even morose he tends to be the quiet one in the corner that tries to pass off without notice (a thing that never happens thanks to his height and complexion) and is always silently observing. Especially when it comes to humans he feels himself on the edge near them, no matter if they prove to lack hostile intentions.

Despite the love that he feels for his father he also guards a great deal of resentment towards him for leaving and some anger at himself for letting it affect him so much which in turn feeds his resentment.

Backstory:
Once a young scion from the high city of Lascuta sought his prosperity away from the city, for he was just the Fourth son of a small but prominent family and his chances of inheriting anything were smaller than the mercy of the city for those that couldn't afford it, so the young man spent all his money to launch an expedition in a distant land with hopes of finding fortune and success, alas, having never left the city before he was ill-prepared for the trials that the frozen land would bring upon his head, beast assailed him at every turn, food was difficult to come by, the locals were distrustful of an outsider and the cold was an ever-present menace.

It was only by luck that he managed to stumble upon a guardian capable and willing to keep him safe.

Eventually, they fell into a partnership where she would be the one to break the enemy and he would snipe them from afar, it was through this and many trials more that the young noble and the lady of stone fell in love with each other and eventually settled near her tribe for they adored her but some couldn't help but see him for what he was and not who.

Fiske's first memories are of running through the snow to chase rabbits, fishing on the lake's shore and weaving at the other full-blooded giants, of learning how to sew the patterns of his tribe and the stories that the elders told on the main hall. However, he also remembers the grief of caring for his bedridden mother, of seeing the sickness strip her flesh of strength and the weeping of his father at her passing. It was after this that things changed for Fiske, his people ever so warm and welcoming seemed to change, looking to him more as his father's son than his mother's child, it got to such a point that his father decided to take the matter on his own two hands.

Sadly for the once young noble, planning was never his strong forte so his actions had the desired reaction but they also had unintended consequences.

With his father gone the tribe once more welcomed Fiske into its ranks and he was raised beside a few other youths of his age in a communal effort, he was taught to hunt and to gather, to weave and to guard the cattle, to love and to care, the only difference between him and the others was his height and his weaker flesh, his strength a match for even adults. But despite being happy and loved a part of his heart couldn't forget his father and the love he felt towards the man, so it was with a heavy but determined mind that he made his intentions clear to his tribe, to reach the city of Helgaskr and seek to bring his father back to the tribe with only the word 'Lascuta' as a clue. His tribe would have tried to change his mind, the elders to teach their wisdom, and his peers to soothe his aching heart, and they would have succeeded too had a Vision crystal not chosen that moment to descend from the heavens in front of him. So Fiske gathered what few belongings were his, prepared the supplies he would need, and said his goodbyes, then it was the wilds for him until he could reach the city and then his father.

Even if his mind was still undecided about his feelings for the man.

Sadly for him, the particular year he chose to leave was a lean year with a harsh winter, his people were okay with it as their stony skin protected them and kept them insulated while their metabolism made them able to get by with less food in general. The small villages he passed on his way to Helgaskr were not so lucky, many were destitute and hopeless places, usually in shambles after other groups raided them for resources which only reinforced his belief in the cruelty of mankind.

And so he set on his journey more scared of what he would find once he reached his father than ever before.

Independents:
- Heart of a Giant: Giants are known for having incredible resilience and strength. Naturally they will have a layer of stony skin that guards them from physical damage, and in exchanges, they will gain one point in strength or endurance. Their bodies can also emit an element if they are a vision wielder, making them dangerous foes, especially if they are a pyro wielder.
- Crowd Anxiety: Around a lot of people, Fiske might perform a little less than he might normally, but with fewer people present he performs better. If there are people he is comfortable with, he will perform even better.
- Gentle Giant: Despite the kind of person he is, his presence can be a comfort for some, able to intimidate low level thugs just on his appearance, and protect those that might need it. It may not work against more seasoned travelers and fighters however.

COMBAT

Element: Hydro
Main Weapon Type: War axe and shield combo [Melee]
Secondary Weapon Type: Bow [Ranged] and fists [Melee]

WEAPON
Name: Dónalegur and Kurteis
Description: An iron war axe crafted by his people with a leather grip and a spike at the back and a shield that once belonged to his mother decorated with faded blue and red hues.
Weapon Enhancements

• Heim - An enchantment that makes it so the axe and shield combo will always return to each other but gets weaker the further apart they are, however no matter how far away they are they will always pull towards each other.

Fighting Style:
Fiske's style consists of getting in the middle of the enemy and trusting that his stone skin and shield will protect him from damage while he causes as much damage as possible with his axe.

• Superior might: More often than not Fiske's prodigal strength will give him an edge in any clash between melee weapons
• Behind enemy lines: Is not often you see someone leaping straight to the middle of your team and starting attacking everything that moves, Fiske is quite good at taking advantage of this momentarily distraction.

Affinity:
Strength - 4
Skill - 1
Endurance - 2
Elemental Mastery - 1
Elemental Stamina - 1

Elemental Style: -Heilandi reiði - When Fiske activates his Vision any wound in his body will be filled with water which will then proceed to replicate any of the functions that are missing or disrupted, eventually such wounds will be healed if the water is not displaced.

Techniques:

• Water barrage - Once his Vision is activated a small explosion of water can be generated but can not be used in succesion as it takes some time before enough water accumulates.
• Ice armor - Usable only in extremely cold climates or near a cryo user, Fiske can command the water his skin produces to allow itself to be frozen which creates a natural protection to his Vision ability, the cold doesn't bother him on account of his having lived his whole life on the frozen wilds.
• Water splash - Concentring for a moment he can launch compressed water with a swing of his axe which carries more kinetic strength than he normally uses on a swing.

[Sho Minazuki]

@Teyao I would recommend making Water Barrage have a cooldown instead of just not being able to generate water from your body anymore, you DO have a Hydro vision after all, the source of the water is the vision's elemental power.

Kay kay dude, will modify then, are there any other issues you can see?

[Sho Minazuki]

Aight Independents are out. If you wanna discuss them I highly recommend using discord to do that.

Hider

@Letter Bee
- Bleeding Heart: To some, Ken's naivete may be a source of inspiration, particularly for those who are more downtrodden. It may however bring hostility to him against those who are more jaded.
- Uveran Gunslinger: When using any form of Dendro ability or equipment, be able to hit more difficult, specific targets. Things like buttons, levers, or even just a weakspot from what would normally be an impossible range are things that might be possible targets.

@The Irish Tree
- Can't Take the Lascuta Out of the Lady: Despite her current predicament, Alina's attitude has not exactly changed from an upper crust resident of Lascuta. She will blend seamlessly into high class settings, but will stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else.
- Her Own Lady: When fighting alone, her Endurance is improved by one stage. Her wilful nature that led her to be where she is, manifests like this.

@AzureKnight
- Siren's Voice: When interacting with men or certain women, her voice can seem a lot sweeter than normal, and she will have a better time of persuading such people.
- Professional Performer: When she sings and performs, she can draw a crowd with ease. All eyes will be on her, which can be useful should anyone need a diversion.

@Enkryption
- Hard-Boiled Lady: Not out of place in a pub setting with a jazzy backdrop, or the office of a PI, but not as the damsel in distress, rather as the hard-boiled noir detective. At night are in darker settings, she has a better chance of prying information out of people in conversations.
- Sinful Conduct: Johanna often likes to cheat in her card games, drink, and smoke, and this is reflected in her street fighting. When going for dirty tactics, she can stun opponents more effectively, or in certain cases even put them out.

@Teyao
- Crowd Anxiety: Around a lot of people, Fiske might perform a little less than he might normally, but with fewer people present he performs better. If there are people he is comfortable with, he will perform even better.
- Gentle Giant: Despite the kind of person he is, his presence can be a comfort for some, able to intimidate low level thugs just on his appearance, and protect those that might need it. It may not work against more seasoned travelers and fighters however.

[Renose]

Alright, here comes my character sheet. May have gone too edgy with this one, not sure. It's been a long time since I've done a character sheet.

Within an underground facility in the remote reaches of Averton is the scene of a massacre. The massacre seems to have taken place a year ago, but the conditions of the underground facility have turned what was once a place of research into a crypt that is good for preserving bodies. Among the bodies, rubble, blood, and gore is the common occurrence of the phrase "Project Titan" as it is written on the doorplates of several destroyed rooms and among some of the scattered pieces of paper that managed to somewhat escape the massacre intact.

The destruction that went rampant in this place seems to have been some sort of beast, or perhaps two beasts. One of them had claws that rip and tore and the other had hulking fists that smashed and crushed. Many things are scattered about as well as if a tornado ripped through this underground facility: A tornado that sought nothing more than death and destruction.

In one more secretive, hidden room is a bloodstained journal that is clutched against the bosom of a corpse. Any explorer who happens to pry this journal from this cold, dead hand will discover that it has been penned by a highly methodical, scientific hand. There is also a portrait tucked in its pages as well. The hand whom the journal was pried from is wearing the garb of a man of science. The journal's first page reads thus--

Record of Subject KA2U3, by Doctor Galleus Morgans

My name is Doctor Galleus Morgans. I have committed many sins in my life, so I ask the soul that finds this journal to not pity me or my blasphemous colleagues. Instead, I write this record to serve as a warning. To beware if one ever meets an elf with eyes of deep green. If one meets this person, steer away from them. If you are forced to interact with her, tread with caution. If you find the contents of my research and choose to carry on the legacy of Project Titan, then this beast will be your nemesis. I do not ask that you avenge me, but instead that you keep far away from this elf so that my legacy will not be crushed into nothingness.

The Storm Arrives

Subject Designation: KA2U3
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Race: Elf

Addendum of 'The Storm Arrives' (Appearance)

Subject KA2U3 Kazue cuts a very slim, lithe figure and is rather short, standing only around 5' tall. The portrait attached to this journal was penned by my colleague. I have named it 'The Storm Arrives', as it was the moment she and one of our weapons bonded. This portrait does not account for the pointed ears granted by her elven lineage. That was supposed to be the final touch, but the portrait was never finished, so I will write their details here as I am no artist. Her ears point out sideways from her head and have a tendency to move up or down depending on her emotions or if she happens to hear something. Her head of messy hair hides them at times, but on occasion, the tips may stick out from her dense hair.

Pyschological Analysis of Subject KA2U3

Subject KA2U3 is quiet. This goes beyond merely not speaking. She refuses to make any noise. Other subjects I've seen will scream, cry, beg, and plead to the Gods for their freedom. Not this one. She stays quiet. I thought she was a mere mute, incapable of speech. I've seen subjects like that too. Ones that merely submit to the flow of destiny and take whatever the world throws at them without a fight.

That is further from the truth. Subject KA2U3 is like a beast, one that keeps its claws hidden. When those claws come forth, this silent breeze becomes a hurricane of bloodlust and ferocity. She becomes the kind of storm that will not stop until either she gets what she wants or dissipates into nothingness. She does not take indignation laying down but instead will lie in wait for the right moment.

To me, she is a brewing storm in a humanoid form: calm and harmless. Attempting to brave this storm when it awakens, however; will only ascertain one's destruction. All storms have an eye though, a place where one can remain safe even while it rages. If one can take refuge in the eye of this storm, then no doubt they'd be safe from all harm as the storm would use all its power to tear to shreds anyone who tries to get to its eye.

Background Information on Subject KA2U3

I don't know where Subject KA2U3 came from. She's like many of the other subjects brought in: children that have been rejected by the world. According to the person who brought her to my lab, she was found wandering through a forest with quiet eyes and mangled arms. The mangling of her arms by some unknown beast was not recent, no doubt wrought about by an accident and lack of medical care. It was unclear how long she had been in that forest, but estimates of a hovel that was found indicate at least a few years, meaning she was most likely abandoned there by some callous individual and left to fend for herself.

At first, I thought her either a mute or a walking corpse. Even when we had to amputate her mangled arms, she didn't let out a single sound. Other subjects have let pleaded for death even in their experiments, yet she failed to make a peep even as her arms were amputated.

The experiments we were running were on the fusing of weaponry with humanoid subjects. We hoped that, by integrating this technology with human hosts, we could create a new type of powerful soldier. Sadly this was not easy. It required many tests and finding the subjects was never easy. Furthermore, every day we had to live with the fact that one day our plans may be discovered and unraveled by some external party.

Despite this, we carried on.

Subject KA2UE quickly became our best subject. Despite the numerous failed attempts at weapon fusion, she persisted. She lasted longer than the other subjects and provided our team with a lot of much-needed data that helped us make great strides with the other subjects. She endured what must have been pure agony in complete silence. Everyone on our team thought she was the perfect subject, myself included. We even thought she was a willing subject.

What an absolutely foolish notion we had. If I had known the truth, I would have immediately disposed of this subject, no matter the cost. In the end, there is no medicine in the world that could ever relieve my life's greatest, and final, regret.

Model: Storm Titan. This weapon was our greatest work yet. All of the results of a few years of research were poured into this two-mode weapon. A weapon that could allow a soldier to switch between swift life-reaping elemental claws and gauntlets that have the destructive force of a tornado. With the weapon physically bonded to its host, the switching could take place via thought, making for even more effective, deadly soldiers.

The perfect test subject for the first bonding was naturally Subject KA2U3. She already had no arms, so the weapon would be a perfect fit for her. In fact, in our arrogance and ignorance, we based this weapon on her specs. We made this weapon for her.

The bonding was perfect. The subject no doubt felt agony but kept it in. Her body showed signs of struggle to hold it in, which she did. The weapon was perfectly fused with her body, a result well beyond our expectations. That, however; wasn't all that was beyond our expectations. The weapon had an artificial anemo power source that we decided not to cut off immediately. Instead, we were obsessively, arrogantly, and foolishly recording down all the data we could. We had gone mad with fear as the results of our research finally bore fruit.

One of my colleagues was even painting a portrait of the event.

It is in this moment of our greatest hubris that it appeared.

An Eye of the Gods. A vision. It appeared as if the Gods above had been watching our every move.

Everyone else was still arrogant, celebrating even, as Subject KA2U3 took the vision in her hand. The moment she did, our connection to the weapon was cut off. I was the only one who ran. Ran as no doubt those dead eyes came to life with unbridled fury. Ran as those claws harvested the screams of my colleagues. Ran as those fists mashed our machines into scrap. The sounds of blood, death, and destruction though paled in comparison to one thing.

The sound of howling. Both of the wind, and the girl. It was as if all of that agony hadn't been withstood this entire time, but bottled up. It howled with the wind, creating a tempest of carnage. I was the only one to escape, but not with my life wholly intact.

I took a claw to the stomach before I could even get that far. I was just a mere mortal after all, how could I escape the wrath of nature? I decided to play dead, pretending to fall after taking this mortal wound. The beast let me live. Not because she is foolish, but for one reason only.

Despite the pain, I forced myself to watch. Watch as she destroyed everything and watched as she left, caked in blood, heading to who knows where. The final sounds I heard from her were words.

"From books... I'm free."

These words will become the last words I will ever hear from a living being. Those words are why she let me live. She wanted me to hear them. And even as I lay here, dying... those words continue to fill me with nothing but endless regret. These words of mine will record everything about this subject, but after my pen falls there will be no more records.

My books will never hold any new research ever again, all thanks to my own hubris.

----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

Subject KA2U3 Combat Data

Element: Anemo
Vision: Slotted in the core of Storm Titan, which is embedded in the subject's flesh right above her heart.

Main Weapon: Storm Titan

Description: A two-mode weapon. Storm Titan is physically bonded to its host. The user can switch between modes at will and the weapon is physically attached to its host. Only upon pain of death or with extensive mutilation can the weapon be separated from its host. Upon separation, the subject will most likely perish, unless their will and life are strong enough.

Mode: Storm
Description: One-half of Storm Titan's power. The armor has physically bonded and attached to what remains of Subject KA2U3's arms. These mechanical arms, so long as the subject possesses Elemental Energy, can materialize hands entirely made of anemo that possess rather sharp claws meant for reaping lives.
--Reaper: The claws of the reaper are capable of harvesting life. As these claws inflict damage on others, they will absorb the target's energy to replenish and heal the user. --"Your freedom... is mine"
----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

Mode: Titan
Description: These fists are the true destructive force of Storm Titan. They are materialized from the arms of Storm Titan, attached to them by a rather sturdy connector. Despite their imposing size, the power of anemo assures that they do not physically burden the host while still promoting immense destructive force. While Titan is active, the claws of Storm cannot be used. While these fists, despite their properties, are not as fast and precise as her claws they hold far more striking power and are great for defense.
--Tornado: These massive fists weigh nothing to the user, allowing them to maneuver with the user's complete speed as if they are floating extensions of the subject's destructive wrath. --"No more shackles..."
----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

Sub Weapon: Legs of the Unarmed

Description: KA2U3 knows how to kick. Having had no arms for most of her time in our facility, she learned how to use her legs with incredible skill. While tearing our base apart, she primarily used the might of Storm Titan, but she wasn't afraid to kick at foes who got too close. If she were to find proper leg gear, her entire body would become a powerful weapon. Even without proper leg gear, her legs are still rather deadly.

Analysis of KA2U3's Fighting Style

Tornado of the Wilderness

Like a true tornado, Subject KA2U3 is relentless.

Reaper of the Wind: Due to how intensely fused Storm Titan is with Subject KA2U3's body, the subject can switch between both modes at will. This allows for the subject to switch rapidly and instantly between her claws and fists to employ various vicious strikes with either claw or fist as the situation calls for it. She can use her claws for a swift, vicious offense but quickly switch to the Titan's fists if she needs to employ stalwart defense or absolute crushing force.

Retributive Ferocity: To those who harm her, she displays even greater wrath. When enemies harm her, she strikes them back harder and becomes wilder and more ferocious overall. After all, those who brave the storms will risk greater destruction. The more someone harms her, the stronger and more ferocious she will become against them as she becomes more and more like a wild, unpredictable, and uncontrollable beast the longer she fights.

KA2U3's Elemental Style

Stormblooded Titan
KA2U3 manifests the wind primarily through her body. She does so to enhance her movements and attacks to make them faster and stronger while imbuing them with destructive, storm-like winds. She primarily manifests the wind through Storm Titan to enhance its attacks, but she is also able to channel it directly through or around her body as well to give her increased agility and enhanced physical prowess.
--"Freedom, my body is now... free"
----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

Techniques:
Hermes: Subject KA2U3 can imbue her legs with the power of the wind. This not only increases her speed but also imbues destructive anemo force into her kicks and even gives her legs protection. She can even slightly levitate short distances or dash through the air with this technique. This technique gives her a degree of aerial maneuverability as well, although using it like this makes her a little less accurate but more wild and unpredictable, which is how she fights.
--"My legs, my wings..."
----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

The Brewing Storm: The more pain and indignation this subject suffers, the greater her inner power will become. It will slowly build more and more until eventually, it bursts forth like an endless storm. It is this storm that none of us were able to see. It seems the more she suffers and endures before she lets loose, the greater the elemental might she can explode forth with.
--"Wait... for the right time..."
----KA2U3's thoughts, unimprisoned in this record.

Tornadus: Imbuing herself with more and more wind energy, Subject KA2U3 can unleash a large barrage of destructive attacks. Each attack is faster and more ferocious than the last and imbued with immensely destructive anemo that emits from her with each punch, kick, or claw attack, effectively giving her attacks greater reach and even some area of effect damage. This means that even if enemies are not directly hit they will still receive damage. This can be good in situations where her opponent is able to dodge her attacks or when needing to inflict destruction on multiple opponents at once.
--"My freedom... do not stop it..."

......Dammit, it's Genshin Impact, so let's do this!

The Wandering Legend

Name: Garrick

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Race: Cryptid

Appearance:



Personality: Quiet and politely professional, Garrick mostly keeps to himself and generally makes it a point to not get involved petty squabbles and power-plays of humans. However, on the off chance of there actually being others hanging around long enough, Garrick is actually a wise and observant being, with a profound respect for nature. You wouldn't find him at a fancy party or gala. And if you do, he is very in the corner and very much making to not be the center of attention.

Backstory:

Have you heard the curious tale of the heroic creature named Garrick?

Long ago, in a time where Teyvat was more wild and untamed and the Archons were young and untested, there lived a giant tyrannical demon, a being so full of malice and wickedness that its very presence blotted out the sun and night reigned unchallenged for days on end. Humans, beastmen and other races alike lived in constant fear of the night and the monsters that it brought, spawned from the demon's very ilk.

But then one day, as if summoned from the very earth itself, a massive beast arose to oppose the demon. Those who stood witness that day described a god-like being, as tall and magnificent as a mountain, of dark blue scales with accents of bright teal lining its body from head to tail. On this day, the people gave this would-be savior a name....

Garrick.

It was said the ensuing battle between Garrick and the demon lasted 30 days and 30 nights, in which canyons were born, rivers were made and entire forests were leveled until finally.....Garrick struck the final blow, defeating the demon once and for all.

As the tyrant's corpse laid still, the sun broke through the dark clouds, its shining rays banishing the darkness of the night and the monsters that came with it, burning away the demon's body into dark mist that scattered to the winds. The people celebrated...but the jubilation was short lived....

For Garrick had sustained a fatal blow as well....and soon fell to it. A final sacrifice for a budding land.

It is said that Garrick's massive body became the very mountains that decorate Walton's landscape and the ancient Uveran tribes still hold the beast in high reverence and pass on the story to future generations.

As it always goes, in time, these stories became myths. Myths became legends. And legends fade and become lost to history...

.....Until now.

Whispers and rumors have been heard of a particular cryptid, standing at a towering 7 feet and dressed in a long hooded cloak, sighted alone among the arid dunes of Al-Marabar. Glimpses of an imposing being of dark blue scales and bright teal accents.

Some say it's the second coming of Walton's savior. Others say that this being is Garrick's avatar. While there are those who say that this is all just a massive coincidence.

Who really knows? After all, Garrick is just a fairy tale.

A forgotten myth.

A lost legend.

.....Right?

Independents:

Didn't Hear No Bell - Due to his unique existence as a cryptid, Garrick possess an advanced healing factor. Cuts, bruises and scratches heal in the blink of an eye. More serious wounds, such loss of a limb or organ damage, take longer to heal, ranging from seconds to minutes to hours to days to weeks to even up to a month. He heals faster when not in combat.

Intimidating Presence - Garrick's monster form as a powerful cryptid dwarfs most other species and races, and the sheer size and lizard features in combination can make for an intimidating sight. Garrick appearing by surprise will lend him a very generous first attack window when he instills fear into his foes, and enables him to better intimidate others in a conversation or negotiation.

Protector - Garrick's natural nature as a protector of others gives him further determination. When fighting to protect another, whether it be an NPC, or an ally in the midst of combat, he has a +1 to Endurance.

COMBAT

Element: Geo

Main Weapon Type: Scimitar(Saracen style)

Secondary Weapon Type: A gauntlet with a built in grapple hook.

WEAPON

Name: Azure Vein

Description: A long regal-looking scimitar with orange topaz jewel in the pommel and the blade being made of cobalt blue colored steel.
Weapon Enchantment:
Bound by Stone- Azure Vein is spiritually bonded to Garrick and only Garrick. If anyone that isn't Garrick attempts to pick up this weapon, they will fail as the weapon will become impossibly heavy. It also comes to Garrick through his will.

Fighting Style:

Close and Mid-Ranged Menace: Garrick is mostly a close-range fighter, but his grappling hook allows him to catch opponents off guard by either bringing them to him or using anything in his surroundings as an impromptu projectile.

Landslide Force: Garrick is big. Garrick is strong. Unless one is of equal or greater size and strength, most will fall before Garrick's might. He will incorporate punches, kicks, tail swipes, shoulder checks and even throws into his fighting. Against enemies of smaller size or weak strength, Garrick gains +1 Strength.

Elemental Style:

Quaking Steps- Garrick's close connection to the earth have somewhat made him into a living embodiment of it. Whenever he stomps his feet, he causes tremors in a 10 foot radius around him, causing enemies to stumble and decreasing their movement speed.

Techniques:

Terra's Embrace- At any point in time, Garrick can use his Geo powers to encase himself in stone armor, augmenting his strength and granting him increased protection from physical and elemental attacks. The type of armor he gains depends on the type of environment he is in. However, putting on this armor decreases his movement speed. The amount of speed decreased depends on how heavy the armor is.

Geo-plosion- Garrick can cause his armor to "detonate", causing his armor to explode outward. Deals significant Geo damage in an AOE around him in a wide range, as well as slowing anyone hit by this attack. Geo-plosion deals more damage depending on how much armor he has left from Terra's Embrace.

@Rezod92 Proof that Walton is run by lizard people wearing human skin. Anyway cool we got a cryptid haha. A rather difficult thing to make.

Landslide Force should make all interactions against an enemy of smaller stature be treated as if you had +1 Strength.

Geo-plosion should also deal more damage based on how much armor is left on Garrick, so you'll have this situation where you can put on as much armor as possible with Terra's Embrace, and then detonate it for massive damage as a two turn gambit.

Backstory's pretty solid too.

Independents...

Intimidating Presence - Garrick's monster form as a powerful cryptid dwarfs most other species and races, and the sheer size and lizard features in combination can make for an intimidating sight. Garrick appearing by surprise will lend him a very generous first attack window when he instills fear into his foes, and enables him to better intimidate others in a conversation or negotiation.

Protector - Garrick's natural nature as a protector of others gives him further determination. When fighting to protect another, whether it be an NPC, or an ally in the midst of combat, he has a +1 to Endurance.

Otherwise all good. By the way for your racial independent, it may be best to also iterate what abilities Garrick has as a cryptid.

@Sho Minazuki

Ah right, you did say you'd allow us 1 Independant of our own making while you provide us the other two.

Anyway, I edited my sheet to your recommendations. Am I good?
