[OOC] Seirei no Tsumi: Sin Of The Spirit.

[Makatsume Haru]

We're always accepting new players!

CCT here, Accepted Character go here!

Setting, Universe and History

Our history starts in the first half of the 2000's. People with a heavier connection to the spiritual world have always roamed between normal people, but for most of them, they were all just product of fairy tails and stories that passed on from parent to children. Just, myths. People like this lived completely shrouded by shadows to avoid normal people from discovering them and misusing their powers. There were three rival clans and they called themselves 'Connecters'. Or so the myth says.

However, this people are very real and it was not until 2020 that their existence became public, due to an incident that happened in various countries of Europe, when some madman and its clan tried to absorb all the spiritual power in earth. His plans met a quick end, though. The 3 clans of the now exposed underworld of spirits fought against them and the victory was quickly obtained. This fourth clan disappeared from existence after what media decided to call "The Great Spirit War", which also made most regular humans wary of them and their over destructive powers.

Political conflicts started, mostly because many of these new-found 'wizards' could have benefited humanity greatly if Connecters just had exposed themselves earlier. Arguing continued for half a century and many problems arose due to this. World War 3 was something imminent, but before this came to happen, the most wise of the three remaining clans, the Nesterov, decided that it would be best to distance themselves from humans and started living on their own.

Some would think this was about to be the trial of a lifetime, but using their spiritual powers it was an easy thing. The Nesterov are known for their adept use of magic and with it, they raised a new island in which all Connecters could live peacefully and away from their former government's claws.

Even though the clans are rivals, they did their best to try and get along and form a sustainable government and lifestyle for the new citizens of their newly made island, which they decided to name Lyranias.

They settled quite nicely in the island and their government became quite efficient. Their society prospered in the coming years. However, as rival clans that they are, relations between them continue to be complicated and as of now it can be seen the great divisions that separate, every and each one of them taking care of something different in regards to the administration of the island. Every clan has control over one third of the island and frontiers are battled over constantly. However, the centre of the island has become a neutral part of the island place where tourists could spend their time. In the centre of the island the government and their headquarters are located.

Now, in the year 2110, Lyranias is already an accepted country by the UN and it also holds the most powerful army in the whole world. Not everyone agrees with them becoming quickly one of the world's potencies, but there isn't anything they can do about it. There are extremists who will still try and mess with Lyranias.

What is a Connecter?

In relation to their powers and what they can do they have been defined as follow:
Connecter is a person who can take advantage of his link to the spiritual world and use it efficiently in practical appliances. Usually, people are connected to an spirit since the day they are born, kind of an horoscope, but this spirits are those that come from legends, myths and different beliefs and they count with different powers which can be used by their host. Even if everyone is connected to an spirit not anyone can use their powers as they are unable to communicate in whatever manner with their spirit. Also to be noted, this spirit and their powers can be used through the exchange of life force, since even without using the powers of the spirit it still leeches on their host life force. Connecters, however, use the term Reiji or Rei for it, to shorten it. This is the presumed cause of why people die of natural causes.

While using Connecter powers won't shorten your life span if you use way too much you may wind up dead in one day. Life force replenishes over the night after a good night's rest.

The kind of Connecter powers that are most known are:

Magic Connection or Mahozoku: If the spirit knew magic and spells, the user can use their known spells in battle or other practical usages. E.g. Thor's host would be able to launch lightning or fly.

Weapon Connection or Bukizoku: This is a little more universal and does not only apply to one kind of spirit. The host can either turn the spirit into a weapon or, if the spirit owned weapons of any kind, they can summon those. E.g. The host of King Arthur would be able to summon Excalibur, whilst the host of Efreet would summon the spirit in weapon form.

Summon Connection or Juzoku: The host of the spirit is able to summon the spirit in the physical world by feeding it continuous streams of life force. This is not only exhausting, but also dangerous, as well as very destructive. Also works to summon familiars

Soul Connection or Tamazoku: The host and the spirit do a fusion of sorts, combining both body and spirit and become a greater existence. This can only be activated by a short time and depends way too much on the physical prowess of the host. The most difficult and advanced of the Connector techniques.

It is almost impossible to master all four types of Connection and mastering 3 is already an incredible thing. Most people can do just 2 Connections.

The Clans

The Tsurara Clan

One of the Co-founders of the island in the Southeast Asian Region and one of the eldest clans to exist in the Netherworld and once a mercenary clan that advanced into royalty in ancient times, butterfly is the symbol of their clan.

Alstreim Clan

The Alstreim clan was known for their military prowess in the ancient times of Britain. Many conquerors and soldiers of Great Britain were of Alstreim linage. In the island they control the Northwest side and their style of buildings resemble more Gothic styles from the ancient England.

They are proud knights, who value honour over everything else.

They still have a chauvinistic style of life, due to this their rivalry with the Tsurara clan has become stronger over the years.

They are masters of steel and fire. Most fire Connecters in their clan usually are blacksmiths and things of the like.

One of their best usages of the Connecter powers is the Weapon Connection, but they don't use it much since they'd rather use their personally forged weapons.

One of their most valued heroes and someone who they live their life by is King Arthur Pendragon. A big statue of said king is erected in the middle of their city.

They are the Judicial and Legislative Branches of the government, meaning that they are Judges for trials and that through them pass every law in need of approval.

The Alstreim's in their majority are atheists, but those who do have a religion practice the Catholicism or Christianity.

Notable Places in the Island
The King Arthur Statue.


The Church of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Saint of the Templar Knights.


School of Advanced Swordsmanship. In this school, people can gain the official and noble status of knight, which only applies in Alstreim territory. There are many branches of this and all of them represent your level of power, while it doesn't hold any kind of nobility status outside Alstreim territory, knights are still feared in all other three parts of the island.


The knight ranks are:

Knight: Lowest in the order. In Alstreim territory and with such a rank you are often appointed as security for one of the landmarks.

Blood Knight: You have sworn with your blood to always hold up high the name of the Alstreim. Knights in this rank are usually part of the military.

Dawn Knight: Very skilled. Slicing enemies in two with a single move isn't something hard for you. Usually work as teachers in the school.

Dragon Knight: No one other than another Dragon Knight can put up to you. Usually work as bodyguards for the Alstreim's highest authority.

King Knight: The highest of ranks and ruler of the Alstreim territory. This rank is to be held by only one person, it is not inheritable and the holder is decided through a tournament between Dragon Knights. Only the strongest is to be accepted as the ruler and the current holder is Septimus Loghain Alstreim. He is part of parliament of the government and holds a high political position in the island as overall.

The Nesterov Clan

Hailing from Germany and Russia, where legends of wizards are abundant. They were most often charged with spots as advisor and sages to help the ruler take decisions.

They are very sensitive to magic and is what they use best. Their Reiji is rather abundant.

Most Nesterov after they enter the middle age become part of the Council of Sages, rulers and overseers of Nesterov territory.

Their style of buildings is very akin to Germany during medieval times. They control the southwest of the island.

They don't have an established religion, but all Nesterov believe that Yggdrasil is the centre of the world and how we were created. They see Connecter powers as a blessing from Yggdrasil and that with them they will be able to reach new worlds through Yggdrasil.

Their elements are darkness and light. They are presumed to be the most powerful of the three clans when talking about magic.

They mostly remain neutral in conflicts between clans, but they aren't pushovers.

There are several magical walls erected in their borders, so invading Nesterov territory is not really an option.

They are the executive branch in Lyranias' government as a whole. They select the ruler of Lyranias among them, which has to be the most patient and wise in their whole territory. As of now, the current rule of Lyranias is Elbel Anders Nesterov.

Notable Places in the Island
The Tower of Wisdom. A gigantic tower which is also a library, at the top of it resides the Council of Sages.

Center of Lyranias, Tourist and Neutral City, Utopia.

While every other clan has a different style when talking of buildings and prefers to go with some more old fashioned buildings, Utopia is the complete opposite.

In Utopia can be found the government HQ and where the ruler of Lyranias lives. It is at the center of the city and it is also a great tourist attraction for people to visit.

As the headquarters of the government and centre of the island it also counts with an airport and is currently the only part on the island where planes and things of the like can land. It also is the place in where the biggest school for Connecters is located, while every clan has schools of their own this is the most recognized one.

The school is named Kaimei Gakuen. It has every grade of school you'll ever need to attend to.


The schools in Lyranias are almost the same as normal ones, with the exception of subjects related to the control and use of the children's powers being integrated in the studies plan. Grade and middle school are completely free of charge, from education to materials needed to study.

Utopia also counts with a theme parks, hotels, restaurants and many other attractions for tourists. While human tourists are accepted, to attain citizenship in Lyranias one must be a Connecter. In Utopia, clan-less Connecters which may appear around the world are given free transportation from whatever part of the world they are in and a free home before establishing in the island and finding work.

The currency in Lyranias is the Lyra with a 1:1 policy.

Terms you need to know as a Connecter

Kimera Tenma: Kimera Tenma is a terrorist organization which motto is: "We Take What We Want."
Mostly, low ranking members follow this thorough and steal left and right, always defending themselves with the fact that they are part of the organization, since the sole name strikes fear in many.
However, their real objective is unknown to most people except their 12 henchmen, who prefer to remain in anonymous. They are known to hunt people from all three clans. Every and each one of them is still running amok and they just keep amassing crimes.
Their twelve henchmen are known to be extremely powerful, since most of them could easily wipe out hordes of soldiers with just the swipe of their hands. Their leader is said to be someone dreadful and horrible in many ways, and he is also rumoured to be one of the infamous Soul Snatchers.

Soul Snatchers: A really strange condition which is said to be just a myth. Someone who has this condition has the ability to steal the spirit of someone else and make it their own. The method to accomplish this, however, varies from person to person. While for someone may be okay to just hug a person for a set amount of time, for someone else it might mean to make the other party fall completely in love with them or even proceed with the sexual intercourse.

After the history lesson for this RP, I want to welcome any interested parties and want them to have lots of fun RP'ing in this RP I and Haruna have worked so hard on, but first, some rules, so we can have a smooth ride and get along with each other.

Rules

Ya know, the common deal - No godmodding, no metagaming, no Mary Sue or Gary Stu, no OP!

Whatever I or Haruna say is final, no 'no's', 'buts', or 'why's'

I said that, but I don't wanna be a tyrant. If you think you're definitely making a point or are against something, please voice it out. Jelly and I are always here to hear you out and will do what we can to help.

This RP has mature content in it, ranging from deaths to drug related themes. However, NO SEXY TIME. If you feel like you must absolutely do so, go to the PM's.

Please, please! Don't turn the OOC into a flame war! If you have an inconvenient with other player, take it to the PM's. If that doesn't work out, please refer to point 2.

When I'm not around, direct any questions to my right hand, Masaki Haruna.

For character creation, you are free to have as many characters you want, but if I or Haruna see that you can't handle things with the amount of characters in your hands, then we might or might not unexpectedly kill one of them. Be aware!

For spirits, I ask you not to have any kind of omnipotent, omniscient thing. If you want power, stick to gods of any kind of culture. Scratch that, now I say stick to lesser gods who can't literally destroy the universe by farting. Or something like that, anyways, don't go overboard.

This is really important. YOU CANNOT HAVE A SOUL SNATCHER AS OF NOW. If you wanna know why, refer to the next point.

You may receive a PM from either Haruna or I, in which we will give you a special role we want and think you're able to RP.

That's that for rules, so here you have an skeleton of a CS. You can add whatever you want to it and if I or Haruna think a CS has the right ring to it, we might make it the official. But for now, feel free to add whatever.

Clanless potential Harem King

You are a clanless man who arrived to Lyranias searching for something. Age ranges from 15-18

The Tsurara Avenger

The requirements, what makes an avenger?
The grim, volatile foe of the cast in the RP, who, through a series of inexplicable events up to and including attempted murder, gains grudging respect for said hero/heroine (and may even save them) and goes from intolerable ass to tolerable ass.

A female Tsurara who is 15 years of age, she vows revenge on Kimera Tenma for nearly destroying the Tsurara Clan, yes there are a few Tsurara clan members left but they are close in extinction, borderline to be honest.

As an avenger.
A great, horrific tragedy occurrs, in which that character could do nothing but sit there and watch. The psychological stress is such that it is all that the character can think about, and thus rectifying the wrong that occurred in their life becoming their driving force. Thus, your goal is to destroy Kimera Tenma, you don't care about what others think of you, you don't give shit about what they say. You're also the rival and the foil to others, you think you are better than everyone because you are from one of the elder clans in Lyranias, the Tsurara Clan. In addition, you only have one relevant family member that is there for you, the older sister, Sayaka Tsurara but she's not your target,she's a moral support.

Speaking of not wanting to piss someone off, you really don't want to be piss off, either. You're cold and intelligent, at least when you introduced. As an avenger you listen to Honor Before Reason, which makes you go head to head with others rather often. You're practically a walking encyclopedia, and it shows. Seven years ago the almost 75% members of the Tsurara Clan were wiped out , and you are the daughter of the Clan Leader. They were killed,raped and abducted only for their precious tear gems and blood, which you are now bent on getting back, those eyes that produces tear gems. You also intend to inflict justice on those who did it, the Kimera Tenma,

Abilities.
Battlewise/Smartwise, you are ahead of the others but not so ahead, they strive to surpass you, by definition on some Erza Scarlet type.
You have won the lottery of receiving a connection, Shizenzoku,Mahozoku and Bukizoku... BE CREATIVE, your power is ice though.

For more info on this special roles, please talk with Masaki Haruna.

[Asuu]

Alucard

Name:
Alucard Von Verisupte

Gender:
Male

Age:
Seventeen. (17)

Spirit:
Vladimir, the Crimson Reaper

Type:
Mahozoku, Bukizoku

Spiritual Powers:
Blood's Essence - Factoring majorly from his Spirit's past, Alucard's powers are both dangerous and awe-inspiring in nature. To put it in simple terms, Alucard has direct control over his blood, and the mystical Essence of Blood that flows throughout the universe. The power is mystical and spiritual in nature, rather than a physical type of power that ties directly to Earth. By using this power, Alucard calls upon the blood from his surroundings, or even his own blood, for different uses. The blood, once called upon by him, is revitalized with his essence, allowing it to become free-flowing, harder, sharper, stronger, and gain magical properties. This allows him to travel through puddles of blood as if they were portals, create living things to attack on his behalf, utilize blood to create different weapons and appendages made of blood itself, become blood himself, and a variety of other uses. He cannot control the blood inside of other Connectors or humans, however. It is Blood Magic, basically, extremely deadly and potent.

Due to this power, Alucard cannot die from blood loss. He's also resistant to pain, and uses pain, and the blood that comes with it, to fuel his attacks.

Appearance:
Alucard stands at an even 6", weighing 140 odd pounds. His hair is a natural bone-white, and his eyes an intimidating crimson, both natural due to him being born an albino. His skin is pale, unnaturally pale even, as if his blood is nonexistent, although his healthy demeanor quickly contradicts this fact. His build is that of something you would see on a dancer, or a swimmer, with naturally lithe and slender muscles that cords with sinewy strands. His choices of clothing is usually something practical, yet formal, and more often than not it's covered by his travelling over-coat, anyways. A comforting, yet durable white dress shirt, a crimson tie, sleek pants, and shiny black boots. His over-coat is long, reaching to his ankles, made of shiny black leather and cotton.

Personality:
Although his thoughts and personality is his own, Alucard has definitely taken on a personality oddly similar to that of his spirit, someone he's been connected with since even before birth. Naturally a gentleman first and foremost, Alucard regards everyone with the same natural outlook he looks at everything with. Calm, regal crimson irises stares out through bone-white eyelashes at everything, giving it a casual, yet observatory once over that carries a sinister foreboding, something that usually psyches out most when he glares. Alucard is a polite young man on the bare surface, not afraid to kiss the hand of another when greeting, though with his politeness he carries a sort of measured arrogance that seems to be more for show rather than actual childish cockiness.

Every move he makes is thought of before he actually makes it, hence his calm, yet long strides and intelligent nature. He was taught to be a noble by his parents, but taught to be a Reaper by the thoughts in his mind, leading him to be a hybrid of the two. Underneath his cold, yet gentleman-like behavior hides another part of him. Complete and utter apathy to any natural human. Yes, while Alucard may treat other Connectors with a calm, detached, and cold friendliness one would expect someone of his appearance to ooze, he has a different mindset to humans. To him, they are nothing more than fleshbags to harvest the sweet nectar of life from - Pigs, basically. On the outside he may treat them the same, but on the inside...he's thinking of a million ways to torture them slowly and agonizingly.

Over-all, on the surface he is a gentleman. A coldly efficient and intelligent one, but an aristocratic gentleman regardless. Dig a little deeper, and you scratch his core - a sociopathic, blood-loving Connector who detests humans on a disturbing level. He has no moral compass, though he goes strictly by a few rules of honor that's been etched into his brain. Killing humans, or even other Connectors if it comes down to it, is like swatting a fly to him. Though it may seem as if he has no warmth - no desire to love, Alucard is actually a hopeless romantic, be it as contradicting as it may seem. 'Hopeless' is a great way of putting it, as there's no legitimate way for Alucard to have an actual lover. His soul thirsts for blood, the misty vapors, and sustenance, a side-effect of his specific spirit. He will always be a danger to those around him. Over the years, he's learned to control these desires, but being the hopeless romantic that he is, Alucard has decided to not even risk it.

Biography:
'He was originally born in the Nesterov Clan...with his mother, father, and sister...'

Remi Von Verisupte and Maria Von Verisupte were both well-known individuals in the entirety of the Nesterov clan. Wealthy, due to Sir Verisupte owning a blossoming business that still goes on even after he retired, and due to Madam Verisupte being the co-owner of that same business. The business, a blossoming company that took in wandering Connectors whom were either exiled from their former clan, or simply left for a personal reason, and gave them food, shelter, and an education, was a business that garnered thousands of dollars from charity, supporters, and general people who believed that the business owner(s) were a chivalrous and kind people.

Of course, Sir and Madam Verisupte were not as kind and as chivalrous as most led them to believe. The power couple were greedy, conniving folk that operated the scenes of their business, Connector Inn, in private. Every single person that was taken off the street, found in a Human school, or generally found alone, hungry, and tired were brought into the warm, futuristic, and inviting doors of the Inn...and officially slaved off. Not slaved off to work in some camp, or slaved off for butchery and cannibalism. No, they were slaved off to a...certain organization, to be brainwashed and minimally trained to be nothing but pawns/grunts in the wide range of things. An organization so shrouded in mystery that no one suspected the fact that Sir and Madam Verisupte could have had a hand in the small decrease in Connector population. It wasn't even a dent; just a literal quarter of one percent. Small enough to go unnoticed, especially with the large amount of support their business gathered, but just big enough to satisfy the Kimera Tenma.

It was years later, after their selling of slaves that a surprised happen. A surprised that was stoically accepted and received.

Sir and Madam Verisupte were bad, slimy people - sure. They might have been incredibly handsome and beautiful respectively, but that didn't change their evil spirits. It also didn't change their power. Being the Connectors of powerful spirits Hades and Mehrunes Dagon respectively, Sir and Madam Verisupte were a force to be reckoned with, being comparable to some of the more powerful leaders of Lyranias. A heir was the exact something they needed to give them that extra 'oomph' in power. They were already proud owners of a popular business, valued members of the Nesterov Council, and admittedly useful pawns of the Kimera Tenma, so what more could they ask for? A prodigous heir in the form of a white-haired, crimson-eyed baby, that's what.

Early life for Alucard was mechanical, cold, and lonely. His parents saved face in public, treating him like the perfect little toddler, but when hidden inside the gaping maw of their manor...it was nothing but absolute Hell. He would train, exercise, learn languages that most adults didn't know...taught mannerisms, certain behaviour traits...English, Math, Science...it was all forced into his head at an early age. Stress was getting to him, and he would even have minor panic attacks at the early age of 5, for crying out loud!

That was, until he got into contact with his Spirit.

Vladimir was....both a positive influence, and a negative one. With the arrival of his Spirit's mental communication, his powers were forcefully brought into his life. The thirst for the misty essence of blood...for some reason, despite knowing that killing was wrong, Alucard caught onto the act of draining things - animals, insects, corpses - of their blood, and storing it into his own Essence, strengthening him with every kill. Vladimir was his mentor, teaching the young boy the ways of the Crimson Reaper, and generally unloading and carrying the burden of stress that his parents forced upon him. On a mental perspective, sans the stress-relief, communicating with his Spirit has given Alucard a different perspective on life. Vladimir believed that Humans were weak-willed and worthy of death, and Alucard quickly glued onto this belief, his personality shifting slightly from it's quiet, meek, and robotic functionality into Vladimir's more sleek, cold, and serpent-like idealism. Eventually, a whispered plan was breathed into his ears, and Alucard began preparing for the turning point in his life...

By this time, Sir and Madam Verisupte knew what was going on. They allowed the Spirit of the Reaper to teach their son, mostly out of pure laziness rather than actual belief in the Spirit. Long ago they had cast out their Spirit's influence, permanently blocking out their voices with a dangerous ritual, so they did not realize how much of a mistake their ignorance would cost them. Alucard could still remember it all so vividly...

'Alucard could hear their muffled, calm breathing. It had a lilting tip to it, and the 12 year old instantly knew what that meant. "They are sleeping..." he whispered silently, crimson eyes opening abruptly. Although his bone-white hair covered his face in a shroud of black, if one looked closely, they would see soft pale lips slightly tip upwards in a smirk - a smirk that did not belong on the young male's aristocratic, child-like features.

The boy calmly flicked the blood-red comforter off of his slender frame, stretching the minimal amounts of kinks out of his muscles before turning to the side and standing up. The feeling of his pale feet touching the cold wooden floor momentarily shocked him, before his blood started to circulate, surrounding his skin in an invisible callous of Rei.

"Is it time?" he murmured into the silence. Crimson-red life blood pooled from thin-air, forming a ritualistic circle of blood on the wooden floor. Alucard stared at the rune, before smiling softly and gazing around. An ethereal, silky smooth voice, abnormally sounding similar to Alucard's own voice in a decade or two, sounded within the boy's mind. 'It...is time, Apprentice.' If anything, his smile turned into a small grin, and Alucard stepped into the puddle of bubbling red essence. His form was momentarily turned into wisps of blood-red Rei, before both he, and the circle of blood, disappeared.

---

He reappeared within the darkest corner of his parents' room, the biggest room in the house. Wisps of misty blood formed small, tangible wings on the back of the boy's bare back, and silently he flitted over to the king sized bed. He examined his mother first - beautiful, pale skin, dusky black hair...his father's regal features, brownish-gray hair...

"I will not miss you...for I am no one's pawn."

The wispy red wings abruptly flowed away from his back, turning into twin javelins made of the mystical blood. As Alucard watched, the razor-sharp javelins floated over the foreheads of his parents, just touching the first layer of skin.

"Goodbye...forever."

Their eyes opened. Alucard smirked. The javelins descended into flesh.

Later on in that night, soft laughter could be heard, even as the sky turned a bloody red...'

It was that day where he was recruited into the same organization his parents were so 'fond' of. He was taken in by an 'Upper 6', and trained for years, until he could just about hold his own against his mentor without dying instantly. He was then placed into the 'Bottom 6' until he could advance. Alucard accepted these changes, adapting quite readily to everything. His Spirit agreed with the choices, saying that the criminal organisation was trustworthy enough...until Alucard could find a way to transcend his current realm of prowess...

Now, Alucard travels mostly, doing the jobs assigned to him by the Boss, although the jobs are few and far inbetween at times, leaving him with a lot of free time when not managing the business he inherited from his dead parents. He keeps up the charade of an 'emancipated orphan-turned adult' in the Clan, whenever he's actually there, of course.

Grimm Voltum CS

Name: Grimm Voltum
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Spirit: Themis
Type: Bukizoku
Spiritual PowersBlade of Themis A weapon summoned through Grimm's Bukizoku capabilities. It chooses to depict itself as a pitch black sword with a pitch black uncanny blade. At night or in a poorly illuminated room the sword could not be easily distinguished from the rest of the darkness. It is a somewhat intimidating blade. It is lightweight and has a 3 foot long blade normally, Extending itself at certain times to a maximum length of 4 feet. It is a long sword, it handle adorned in nothing and appearing dead compared to other beautifully designed hilts. It has a small pommel outlined in a dark metal. The fuller of the sword has more luster than any other part. No scrape or scratch can be found on it. Grimm considers it pulchritudinous in every way. He calls the blade Sanction.

Onto the capabilities of the weapon summonable by Grimm. It may be used as a standard long sword if the wielder wishes to do so; It's good for slashing and thrusting during combat. Along with its competence as a normal blade, it has unique capabilities. The blade itself can extend itself from three to four feet and anywhere inbetween by the will of the user. In addition, the blade can alter the state of its master, usually vigorating or empowering the wielder. Strength, stamina, speed, and more are effected through the blade without effecting the wielders actual physique. The way that the blade can boost the user isn't controlled by Grimm for the most part.

The blade is used to inflict damage upon those who have done wrong or immoral things. The sword acts as if there are universal morals and powers its wielder to punish bad doers. The more injustice the more powerful the weapon and wielder become. The injustice need not be commited by other beings but also by Grimm himself, any form of injustice from anywhere can awaken the blade's true potential. Weak but rapid beams of white light may be emitted from the point of the sword, these are not lethal and are used more to keep enemies at bay or to scare them away. They may be made stronger but in general they are not very powerful.

The fact he doesn't feel as weak as he does using the blade as he would normally makes him wield it alot.
He has found overtime that extended usage of the blade gives him fits of madness. Bursting out laughing uncontrollably, perceiving things that aren't there, enjoying cuttin up whatever or whoever he has defeated. Yet extended use makes him even stronger. It can take as little as a minute for these to kick in, usually it takes longer.

Appearance: Grimm stands 5' 7" tall, appearing even shorter when he slouches over. He weighs in at 115 pounds. He has obsidian black shaggy hair, worn in a fashion in which its occasionally covers his bright yellow eyes. He appear to be unhealthy with his pale skin and skeletal build. It seems as if he eats nothing. He has thin appendages and pale hands that are cleaner than the rest f his body majority of the time. Not saying he is dirty, but his hands are always the cleanest part on his body.

His attire is rather casual and offer no protection in combat. He wears no foot wear and has Tough scarred feet. He usually wears nearly completely bleached jeans along with a pitch black shirt with long sleeves. The elbow area covered in slightly extra cloth. He owns a black beaten up stained cloak he wears when it is cold.
He has a knife on his side as an accessory and an Extra sword sheathed on his back. He always carries around some spearmint smelling gum in one pocket and his breath always seems to smell like mint. He wears no hats usually. One thing he is always wearing is a dark purple ring. Unknown why he does so.
Personality: Grimm has a very child like nature. Hating to lose, but liking a challenge. Majority of the time he is optimistic and loving life, well his own at least. While he is rather loud at times and determined to accomplish his goals his most distinctive feature is his love for justice. Oddly enough, he hates majority of the authority figured. When a child is being bullied in the playground he is the child that beats the bully brutally. He is more of an idealistic, lookin towards the future. He intends and knows he will become someone great. Someone that can spread true equality. It is on of his dreams to be able to help people and create no unfairness. It is this that motivates him to train every single day. It is this that had motivated him to believe his life has a purpose.
He so far seems incapable of learning another spiritual power. It angers him. It was common for people to have two yet he has only been born with one.

He seems rather unintelligent, mainly due to his immaturity and crude jokes probably. He mainly does this because of his loneliness.
Laughter is better than crying.

When using his blade his personality changed immensely. He is pessimistic, cynical, and sadistic. He is depicted things that haven't actually happened. And he feels the need to kill those who have different outlooks then him on justice and fairness.

Biography: Grimm was born a baby

I'll work on my biography in school tomorrow, Haru. It'll give me something to do in math class.

[Masaki Haruna]

Welcome and thank you for the OOC people!

A quick note, I am only accepting soul connection users at the maximum number of players which is 3, soul connection is one of the most rarest among the rest of connections and I don't wanna see too much soul connecters but that doesn't mean I won't regulate the other three connections, make sure everything is balance, you can't have two or three connections in the beginning of the story. It is either you are born with an innate connection or you learn it. But then again, I can reconsider if you give me valid explanation on how you are able to learn 2 or 3 connections.

Further explanation.
Everybody is born with Rei/ Spirit energy or reserves but you don't have a spirit, you use your own reserves and it doesn't shorten your life span.

To make it easier, having a spirit along side with you is the factor of reaching the pinnacle of your connection.

You do not know the name of your spirit at the beginning but you have em' along your side but to make it simpler, not everyone is able to awaken their spirit or even have one, this is to ensure balance. But hey you will know the name.....

@Assu, welcome to Kimera Tenma, you are Spider #6, there are 12 spiders altogether.

NOTE: Not everyone can have a spirit but you are still able to be born with an innate connection or learn it and eventually sign a contract with a spirit.

[TheWanderingBaldman]

How many people will be needed before this starts?

[Makatsume Haru]

@Baldman: Mostly, I think it is okay, but if you can, please add on your bio whether he assists to school or not, since he lives in Utopia, then most probably he assists Kaimei and stays on the dorms. Or is he actually hiding from authorities? Please, do elaborate on that. I like the whole 'protector of justice' thing he's got going for him, though and dem fits of madness.

And about your other question, after the other guys who have shown interest in this get their CS' up, then we'll be okay to start.

@Asuu: Take your time, we're still waiting on others to upload their Cs, as well as I'll start working on my own tomorrow. So there's no hurry.

@Haruna: I leave things in your hands, I'm off to get some sleep.

[TheWanderingBaldman]

Asuu, BRUH nice character

[Kestrel]

Haru

Name:
Takahashi Haru

Gender:
Male

Age:
23

Spirit:
Three Wise Monkeys

Type:
Tamazoku

Spiritual Powers:
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil: Haru summons one or more of his monkey statues as spirit familiars. They will sit still in their respective positions, but their mere presence will either blind, deafen and/or mute everyone but Haru in the nearby area; no matter if they are friend or foe. However, the effect weakens if multiple monkeys are present or Haru's life force is low.

• See no evil can completely blind a person, or Haru can make certain objects or people invisible to them, even himself. Summoning multiple statues will decrease the range at which it works making the inflicted see nearby objects transparent or blurry instead.
• Hear no evil can completely deafen a person or make certain objects or people silent to them. Summoning multiple statues will decrease the filter's efficiency; the closer the inflicted is to the source of the sound, the more likely they can hear it.
• Speak no evil can completely mute a person as well as take away all their sound-based abilities such as spells that rely on incantations and shouts. Summoning multiple statues will decrease the effect, merely weakening sound-based abilities and allowing the inflicted to whisper.

The statues have an effective range of twenty meters; and fleeing from their range will dispel their effects. The statues can be destroyed by other Tamazoku users and even some Mahozoku users that employ spirit attacks (physical manifestations or plain old fireballs won't work.) Being destroyed will disable Haru from summoning that statue again for ten minutes.

Haru can also permanently blind, deafen or mute a person, but this requires thirty uninterrupted seconds of skin contact; making it unfit for combat situations.

If not summoned, each statue can grant it's arms to Haru, giving him up to six extra spirit arms. These arms feel no pain and obey the same rules as the statues when it comes to destructibility. Haru can use them as if they were his own, making him a potent martial artist or bo-staff wielder.

Personality:
Haru embodies the charming rogue stereotype. He is suave, opportunistic and a bit of a show-off. He is a compulsive liar, making many of his relations often brief because even Haru himself can't always keep up with the lies he feeds his conversation partners. As a stage magician, he is quite secretive and a potent actor; making it impossible to differentiate a lie from the truth by just looking at the man.

That's not to say Haru is evil, he is more on the chaotic neutral side of the spectrum. He lies for a livelihood and to make himself seem more impressive, which is all part of the job as far as Haru is concerned. He has had to make some difficult choices in his life in order to survive and fools even his own conscience with chivalric justifications. Haru's practices conflict his morals and he prefers not to be faced with these. He can also be quite sensitive when it comes to how other people think of him.

Despite all that, Haru comes off as a jovial entertainer. He loves to tease and taunt, but understands others their boundaries quite well. He will quickly identify ways to make you smile and has an overall jolly disposition. While he can be quite expressive with his emotions on the surface, he's actually quite calm and calculating when he needs to be.

Biography:
The Takahashi family belonged to the Nesterov clan, but bad blood between the two caused the Takahashi family to stay out of Lyranias for generations. As connector in the human realm, the Takahashi family always hid their powers, content to live a quiet, pacifistic life. However, this would not last.

When Daisuke, Haru's younger brother, was born into the family, he showed strong potential from an early age. Although his father and brother were determined to keep Daisuke's power hidden just like all the connectors that had come before him, the boy was far too excitable and young to phantom the consequences his actions would bring when he showed one of his classmates his awesome abilities. The local authorities attempted to claim Daisuke for their own benefit, but his father had been prepared for the day that might happen. Even the government couldn't touch Daisuke for as long as there was no sign of abuse, mental disorder or criminal records within the family. The father alerted the media as a back-up; forcing the officials into paperwork to even be able to lift a finger. Daisuke would stay under his father's roof, at least until preparations were made to move the family towards Lyranias.

Unfortunately for the Takahashi family, there was a loophole in this strategy. Daisuke and Haru's father was set up by the company he worked for, by relabeling a financial transfer to his own account making it seem like he was stealing from the company. Now acting within their jurisdiction, the father was arrested and Daisuke was taken into custody. The government searched for Haru, but they could not find him.

Haru, seventeen at the time, was a connector as well. With a contract, no less. He used his powers to avoid being caught, and made a plan to free his family. He freeloaded a ride and did some digging as to where his father and brother were held. Haru opted to save his brother first, knowing that if worst came to worst, his father would be able to take care of himself. He infiltrated a government facility, knocked out unsuspecting guards, rescued his brother and even put a knife on some an employee to force him to erase all records about his family. Having used so much of his power during this operation, Haru had nearly exhausted his own life force and does not remember what happened between the moment he dropped his knife and waking up two days later.

Daisuke had taken the lead and carried Haru out of immediate danger and they had hidden in an abandoned warehouse for two days. Although Haru woke up feeling accomplished, this feeling would not last as he read a newspaper his brother had snatched from the streets. In the headlines it mentioned their father had died of a heart failure during questioning. Secondly, he and his brother had gotten a price-tag on their heads; they were now wanted men. At least however, they had a head-start thanks to the removal of data; but if they wanted to flee to Lyranias like their father had planned, they would need money. More money than the government offered to return them...

This was how Haru made his debut as a stage magician. Masked and empowered by his spirit connection, Haru began a career in a small back-alley bar. He was careful never to reveal his face, and he and Daisuke toured the country so that they might never be too long in one place. For a while, this went well, however they had not yet made enough money and Haru got impatient. The two brothers were tired of being on the run, and it took too long for all the small change to add up between their food and travel expenses. To this end, Haru got involved with a criminal band; using his powers for theft instead of magic, but he quickly learned that trustworthy companions were hard to come by in the underworld. Between his raids, Haru started practicing martial arts in a small dojo, learning how to employ his fists as well as a bo-staff in battle. This too, was a drain on his money, but at the very least he felt safer this way.

Daisuke, now eleven years old, also wanted to do his part instead of hiding and waiting until his brother came back. With their forces combined, Haru and Daisuke began earning money at a much faster pace between magic shows, thefts and as time passed and their situation grew more desperate; even robbery. However, as their ventures became riskier, they became more notable as well...

Alerted by the sudden appearance of Daisuke, the news spread like wildfire. Within a day, government officials had barricaded all exits and thinned out the town looking for clues. The bounty on the Takahashi brothers was tripled and they were sensationalised as ruthless most wanted criminals. Their time had ran short. Instead of bribing a ship to bring them to the connector's island; Haru and Daisuke were forced to hijack one. However, local authorities gave chase and neither Haru nor Daisuke were able to defend against military firepower. Their ship sunk, but Haru managed to escape their pursuers clutches and beached on the edges of Lyranias. Believing his brother to have met a similar fate, he began traveling the island with his magic show and immunity in tow... However recently, the outside world has demanded for Haru and his brother to be deported back to be judged by their authorities... Even though Lyranias probably suspects they would want to use the brothers for their own gain and has the military power to keep it's borders clear, it remains a very sensitive politic matter...

[TheWanderingBaldman]

Holy immortal maze walker again. Nice character. Anyone wanna discuss the topic of possibles Interactions or relationships characters could have?

[Masaki Haruna]

Welcome to the special role lottery, special roles are given by the GM or the CO-GM, first come first serve.
Alstreim is managed by Haru and Tsurara is managed by me and anyway.....

Special Roles
The four characters me and Haru are giving now are not necessarily main characters but they are rather significant and must be active players.

Tsurara clan special role. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
-Name Is either letter R, K, M , A or Y, don't complain this is a challenge for you.
-Lady at age 15.
-She is the representative for the clan meaning unravel stories about her clan but she knows less at the beginning.
-No Tamazoku for you.
-In school, you are the genius in sense headstrong rival characters like Uchiha Sasuke, Akemi Homura whether or not you are Tsundere or Kuudere.
-A Tsurara must have black hair and red eyes.
-You are the rival type character like in shounen who is stronger than your classmates at the beginning. For example Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail.
-An Ice Person
- Must be badass
- You are an avenger your goal is revenge to get rid of Kimera Tenma because for many years the three clans are being hunt down for their powers and Tsurara Clan is at the brink of extinction and hell because of Kimera Tenma.
-As the usual rival character type, you are aloof and indifferent to your classmates and everyone.
-Be creative.

The uncanny Alstreim special role.
Gender equality in the Alstreim is hard to find since majority are men, you are a female who does some cross dress thing and break rules in your clan to prove that women in the clan are useful and just there to get men sandwiches. Your rival is that Tsurara avenger girl.

The pacifist Nesterov
The three clans as you know represent the DnD alignments, Tsurara is Chaotic, Alstreim is Alstreim lol and Nesterov is Neutral. There's more!

-choose your gender, boy or girl? If this became a girl: BEHOLD SPECIAL ROLE NUMBER FOUR!

The clan-less guy role, you are a boy and potentially a harem candidate if Nesterov is a girl that is.

Special Role Number 5 is optional, He is from Kimera Tenma, Spider #4.
The requirements are:
-The Joker like personality from Batman with a mix of Green Goblin but no personality switch.
-Pedophile as in literally, you are like Yaoi King or Yuri Queen.

[Masaki Haruna]

Go ahead! Take it! We all need a Pedo villain and less backstory, I'm exempting you on having a detailed backstory because that will justify you and turn u into a good guy! Leave it as a mystery for now.

Welcome Baldman as Spider#4, got any pics on your Pedo?

[TheWanderingBaldman]

Pics? Uhhhh no. I can give a hellishly good description If I wasn't on my dying iPod. Actually... I'll go scope around if its really required :3

[Naltorix]

I'm very interested in special role #1, although when you say Black Hair and Red Eyes can the character dye their hair at all?(just wondering probably won't do it)

EDIT EDIT:To avoid confusion just pretend I didn't mention role #4. I would like Special Role #1.

[Grey]

Well, I'm here from the old Int Check. Gonna throw out Perseus like I told you(Haru) I would... Either tonight or tomorrow, but if I do it tonight, don't expect a Personality or Bio written up due to the fact that it's preeetty late.

EDIT: Lookin' at dem special roles... Aaand I'd fit none but the fourth. Good to knos

Considering that you have a character already thought out(or so it seems) I take back asking for the fourth special role.
