[OOC] In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

[Lucius Cypher]

Mhmm, I can't wait to see what penetrates him first.

[Ashifili]

So, I have to ask. Is this RP still open? Or is that 'Apply' tag beside it a sham?

[Spriggs27]

It's still open

@Ashifili

Yeah, it's open. Throw in a CS and wait for Windel to check on it. You're welcome, by the way.

@Spriggs27@Lucius Cypher Why are you guys talking about Akemi like she was some kind of whore? She's might look like a walking fetish fuel, but she isn't a toy, you know? Keep thinking like that and I assure you'll have a very painful lesson. But actually it'll come from the person that never shows their face up, right @TheWindel?

@KoL

I never say she was, and I will say that L.C caused it by saying Where's Akemi, and you with your post about Akemi liking bondage

@Spriggs27

Mind you that I'm not offended, but still you should be aware that calling her that IC might have bad consequences to your character's health. Because of, well... this:

[TheWendil]

Indeed. Anyone who touches Akemi is subject to getting a blade shoved through the neck. Though I wouldn't go that far extreme KoL. ^

Oh I would never imply that! Rather, Donny would be quite enraptured by Akemi and would hope she would be interested in Donny as well, perhaps even sharing the same level and type of affection for one another.

WIP, but it should be something to look at. Mainly curious about whether this blood magic is even allowed or not, because the descriptions were all rather vague. Also, probably gonna give him three firearms, or two firearms and a giant chainsaw. XD

"I hate cloudy days." [+]

Name: Roless
Gender: Male
Age: Somewhere around 16 to 19, but, like most of himself, he’s unsure.
Appearance: Roless stands at 5’11, with messy brown hair and vibrant amethyst eyes. His skin is of a light tan, and his hands, like the rest of his body, are full of small scars, barely noticeable nicks in his skin. It is most likely due to the nature of his Blood magic that such marks are present, but then again, who knows? He has a sturdy build despite his lankiness as a teenager, and his voice is cheerful, that positivity often accompanied by a sing-song tone. The Hunter carries himself in a lax manner, and prefers wearing long coats despite his habit of accidentally stepping on the ends of that coat.

His steps are announced with the clink of metal against metal.

Magic: Roless uses Blood Magic in a different way than most Hunters. It’s neither a boon to his allies nor a bane to his enemies. Instead, it is fuel in a world where oils are rare and gasoline rarer, a fuel that can be consumed by machines and humans alike. Mechanical weapons roar to life when filled with it, and firearms devoid of ammunition can fire once more, shooting out bullets of hardened blood. These bullets of magic-drenched blood are corrosive to the flesh of unholy monsters, not only penetrating, but also melting. A powerful counter to beings with regenerative capabilities, if enough bullets had been pumped into them.

But what goes around comes around, and Roless is also capable of purifying monster blood to an extent, injecting it into himself to give him the same bestial strength as the beings that he opposes. It’s a dangerous game to play, as the same rot that his blood bullets cause to monsters will start to ail him as well, but…it’s a fun game, isn’t it? He can generally recover from the negative effects of monster blood after half an hour, with the bestial strength lasting him ten minutes per injection. And thus, the ratio is this: each injection gives him 10 minutes of strength and thirty minutes of suffering, as his human blood poisons him. The more blood injected, the stronger he becomes, and the more he suffers.

If only Roless was a masochist.
Weapon: Roless carries three weapons with him, two of them being massive enough that it’s an easy testament to his strength.

The first is that is what Roless calls the Hammer. It is a single shot flintlock pistol, one modified to have a frame and barrel strong enough to withstand the recoil of massive bullets. A more accurate description of this would be that of a cannon, powerful enough to turn lesser beings into mush. Though it requires reloading after every shot, it has an extremely potent knockback, and Roless is skilled enough to reload it with one hand regardless. His favorite toy, really, and when combined with his blood magic, it becomes his single most destructive attack, capable of exploding after penetration.

The second is the Rain, an expensive, greedy hand-crank gatling gun with six barrels. Smaller than the mounted variations but still just as deadly, Roless holds it in one hand and cranks it in the other, allowing him to put out 10 rounds per second. As bullets for this particular weapon is rather expensive, he spends most of the monster blood that he harvests into creating bullets of blood for the Rain. Naturally, it wouldn’t have the same corrosive effect as using human blood, but hey, what monster would have time to be happy about that, when ten bullets jam itself into its body every second?

The third is the Harvest, a seven foot spear with a one foot long blade that can fold onto itself to be two feet long for easy travel. While the Hammer and Rain could be considered Roless’s main sources of damage, the Harvest is, put frankly, how he harvests blood to feed his toys. Unlike most spears that have a single blade fixed into the center of the shaft, the Harvest has two blades fixed at either side of a steel compartment placed at the end of the shaft. Top-heavy, and thus, more difficult to swing about until momentum is gained, its true value is seen when a hidden trigger is held at the machine roars to life and the blades spin wildly, turning into saws capable of shearing through flesh and causing grevious, bloody injuries to all those on the opposite end. Though some of that blood is then used to continue to feed the motor, the majority is stored, to be used as steroids or ammunition.

Personality: This Hunter is a happy oddity in the doom and gloom that is the Land of Wasted Dreams. It could be said that he loves his job from top to bottom, from the life-threatening situations that he fights himself out of, to the days spent in the hospital recovering from his injuries, to the times where he lost his mind after too many monster blood injections, to the amount of money he can pile up after a job well done. Roless, regardless of how frightening, disgusting, disturbing, revolting his work is, embraces it fully, with an innocent passion that revolves not around hatred towards the demonspawn lurking in the darkness, but around the thrill of the hunt.

He’s someone to be taken seriously even if his suggestions can become inane. Prone to hatching up nigh-suicidal plans, Roless, to the outsider, would appear to be a fool chasing after his death. But he’s not suicidal, nor has he given up. He’s simply…desperate for simulation. If he thinks too hard about his actions, he’ll start thinking about other things. So he won’t. Roless drowns himself in this image of a jester, relishing in violence, because if he’s not enjoying himself, what else would he be?

So he’ll smile away the shadows, until he forgets that he’s more monster than man now.

Bio: Roless was, like most Hunters, thrust into this broken, two-mooned world with no memories. He knew that he was in a hospital, and knew how weapons worked. He understood the value of money, and held enough knowledge that he could surmise that he was a learned man. But that was the extent of his knowledge, and his emptiness as a human being had shaped much of what Roless was to be. On an instinctual level, he understood that he would have nothing, even if he was to escape from this grimy world, and, on an emotional level, he loved it. He relished the freedoms available to him, and spared no time at all living in the present.

Yet, at night, dreams of peaches and plums, of strands of sunlight, of starlit eyes, those would haunt him with their gentleness.

Battles were the flames that gave him meaning.

But warmth was the poison that made his heart beat.
Other: It's quantity, not quality, that matters.

@KoL

She'll be obsessed with Sinthe and kill other women that try to befriend him and try to keep him from dying ?

[TheWendil]

Due to recent hectic events, I'll have to post either late tonight or late tomorrow. Deepest apologies everyone.

[TheWendil]

@Ashifili

He looks fine so far. I do like his unique usage of the blood magic and how you've also included the obvious drawbacks and consequences of using it too in his CS.

[Ashifili]

Is it safe to assume that there's a generic use for Blood/Shadow/Fire magic? Cause it seems that a lot of characters simply went out of their way to put up their element, and I'm not sure what to make of that, in terms of versatility and whatnot.

[TheWendil]

There's a generic usage in terms of how the descriptions of those powers were stated. But the idea is for you to customize magic to your own character, though the consequences remain the same.

[Ashifili]

Are you going to put a limit on the versatility of it? Like, is there a general thing in which the broader your magical abilities are, the weaker they are compared to specialized things? Or does that just mean that the specialist is a pleb at magic?

[TheWendil]

It depends on each individual case which is why I haven't out a limit to the versatility of magic. But yes, generally the more broad equals weaker damage output, or rather the same damage output.

[RoflsMazoy]

Hello there, is this still open? I've been away from RPing for a while and I wanted to get back into it. I have a good idea for a character.

Oh, also, are we able to carry anything from the modern world to Iredele?

@RoflsMazoy

Yeah, we're still open. We're not even near the supposed character cap, so you can come in any time.

No, you can't bring anything other than your clothes, but depending on circumstances and what item you are talking about there could be a chance. Just ask Windel about this. IMO, I think that it would be ok as long as it was something with sentimental value, as long as it's not something to modern(ex: a cellphone), or any kind of weapon. But it's better to rely on his judgement.

@KoL

I wanted to bring a Zweihander

If it helps, it does have a lot of sentimental value

But you can have one on the other side. Why Bring it from Earth?
