The Multiverse

...

What is it? In theory, the multiverse is a set of finite and infinite alternate universes which exist parallel to one another, and together, define the entirety of everything in existence. That is to say, the multiverse is everything that science has only just scratched the surface of; space, time, matter, energy...

The first universe was the base of all others, though we know not when the first was created. Each alternate universe thereafter is theorized to have come about from a successful occurrence in it's history, an occurrence which split it from its base (or the product of the base) and gave rise to a new universe. By the extension of that logic, we could say that a universe is created for every choice an individual makes. 

It's nonsense, of course. There are too many individuals in the world for each one's actions to have such a huge impact that it would spawn the birth of a new universe. Therefore, we have limited the theory of creation to large scale events.  

For the past five years, my colleagues and I have argued heartily for the acceptance of the theory of many-worlds, but with no solid proof, we set out to make some. The slow evolution of technology has hindered our progress exponentially, but finally, we believe we've found something.

A radar, quite revolutionary, developed by yours truly, has keenly alerted us to the presence of something beyond the thin black veil of space.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. 

About three years earlier, we produced our first on earth wormhole. A swirling, gravitation-less mass, black in colouration, with a thin middle and two gaping mouths on the ends. We tossed in a friend's toaster, and waited. The mouth which swallowed it did so slowly, and we found that we had to encourage the floating toaster to be on its way. It never came out the other side.

I believe it is important to mention that there seems to be no gravity within the immediate are of the wormhole, nor a powerful sucking force. I even dared to march right up to the wormhole, only to find it was as though nothing but thin, coloured, air floated in front of me.

Whatever goes in the wormhole requires some sort of propulsion to make its way through. There, the toaster, which was quite inanimate, would have never made it to the other side (per say it could have). Rather, it would have needed limbs, such as our own, to swim through the dense, water like nothingness of the hole, or jets to push it through.

Understanding our predicament, we created a small but powerful satellite, DIVINITY, to maneuver its way through the wormhole. Paired with its own very powerful radio system, we hoped to maintain contact with it as it was absorbed into the black mass, which was somehow both airy and watery thick.

What a success! DIVINITY, that small piece of scrap metal, seemed to have found a totally other world. Blurry pictures detailed lush but dark forests and a dulled sky, with a barely visible sun. We spotted shadows of life, indiscernible creatures in DIVINITY's iffy focus, but surely creatures. 

We're going to present this proof to the Board tomorrow. Before, where on luck was on our side, now stands reality and truth!

Nov. 10, 1828

We've been given the thumbs up to continue our research by the Board! And quite a bit of funding too!

Jan. 21, 1829

I am pleased to announce (or rather, record) that FIVE more wormholes have been created, each yielding similar results to the first. Life is copious on at least three of the five new universes we've discovered. The outlook for future communication is looking positive.

March 8, 1829

Something is not right.

March 10, 1829

I'm scribbling this down rather quickly, as there is no time to be detailed. *Strawberry's note: Always so says the character who yet continues to include detail. I hope the lack of paragraphs in this entry will convince of his haste.* This morning, some black gelatinous mass seeped out of our first wormhole. It was rather shapeless when it emerged, and its thickness would have been comparable to that of the physical feel of a wormhole. Immediately, its wormhole began to degenerate, slowly fading away, and leaving us with a creature quite out of our capabilities. We observed for a while, and then finally, it spurred into action. It must have taken note of us; while it maintained its black detail-less colouration, it formed into a shape eerily similar to that of a human. And then it attacked, almost swallowing two of our researchers whole, and going after a good deal of equipment. Finally, it seemed to collapse inward on itself, and disappeared. From what I gathered, there seems to be only one conclusion.

It is a SENTIENT WORMHOLE. 

Notably, there was a toaster sticking out of it when it emerged.

March 11, 1829

The lab is in RUINS. That beast sucked up everything it could, but more than anything, we know it was trying to take a bite out of us. What's more, one of our satellites has observed its doings in (very luckily) a universe of one of our other wormholes.

The creature attacks and conquers and gains. It seems to be building intelligence whilst attempting to dominate those worlds in which it visits. What's more, once done, it leaves a wormhole behind. The thing can create wormhole!

We're not quite sure what, or how many, other worlds it has moved on to, as we only got lucky...

This our fault. If we hadn't been so rearing to discover new worlds...

March 20, 1829

Ok, well its taken us a small while, but we've come up with a solution. We didn't really come up with it, not on our own at least. 

The wormholes are going haywire, spitting creatures of all manner into the lab, some sentient, others more beastly. We, with the help of the government that we've inevitably had to involve, have captured a few of these creatures and held them prisoner. We will hold them till we can stabilize the wormholes and return them to their native universes. 

Our interests lie with the sentient creatures. We'll gather "heroes," call upon sentient beings from other universes. Surely if the entire world is threatened, good or bad, these people/kind-of-people, will help us.

Right?

Premise

So this is where our characters come in. I have yet to create profiles for our mysterious groups of scientists, but they will basically be guiding our characters on the way to destroy our gelatinous friend, who is, as of yet, unnamed, but consistently evolving. This creature is going to change and learn with each new world, and become increasingly insurmountable. And become quite the escapist too...I don't want to give away too much about him/her, but I have its "powers" fleshed out to the point that it will hopefully pull the rp along quite well.

Our character have been spit out from unstable wormholes and captured by the scientists and government of the world where all this drama started. Our scientists, being very crafty, have devised a plan to use the most sentient creatures to tail and hopefully subdue or defeat Mr. Toaster Monster. Our characters will be first called to the lab of the scientists who created the wormhole, where they will be informed and recruited. Then they will sent off, with communicators and another more advanced satellite to guide them through the universes as they attempt the search for the angry jelly.

Rules

The basics really:

• No godmoding, powerplaying, the like.

• Be respectful to your fellow rpers.

• Idk, I've never been good with rules.

• Especially since I just threw this together.

• Like 2 seconds ago.

• And I'm tired.

• You know what, I'll work on rules tom tom. Let's move on.

CS

Feel free to sparkle this up however you want.
Appearnce: Preferably a written description.
Genre(s):
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Personality:
Bio: Long or short as you want, I've never really been keen on the bio section. Some people flesh it out for their characters, others like me like to have very average characters who've just started their journeys, so you write what feels best..

Ok, now here comes the tricky part. Everything after Bio is up to you. All world building elements, planet elements, society structure, weaponry, species...all that description is up to you, depending on what world you've built for your character. I don't feel like I can cover every aspect of description you might wish to include, so I'm giving you free reign to create sections. This'll mean that not everyone's CS will be very conformist, but then and again its a multiverse rp, so where is the conformity. I hope you all get it, but if not, I'll whip up a more detailed CS.

Combat Stats

Dominant Hand: Left

Equipment:

-Upper Body:

• Потеря Небес (Poterya Nebes) - Heaven's Loss. The upper half of a set of daemon possessed medical armour, Poterya Nebes is Nataliya's main source of protection. The pain daemon within the armour absorbs most damage sustained and converts it into healing and shielding. The absorbed damage can also be kept as is and then distilled into syringes that are created by the armour for use in the syringe gun on the left bracer. These pain syringes contain a single dose of pure pain, and when injected into a subject, cause five seconds of intolerable agony.
  
  The right bracer contains a vital signs scanner and an extendable bonesaw.
  
  The armour also has a set of foldable wings in its back. These wings are in the shape of an angel's wings, and are six feet long from wingtip to wingtip, meaning that each wing is three feet long. The wings are jet-powered, and are capable of sustained short-distance flight or hovering for a long duration.

-Lower Body:

• Потеря Небес (Poterya Nebes) - Heaven's Loss. The lower half of a set of daemon possessed medical armour, Poterya Nebes is Nataliya's main source of protection. See above for the armour's effects. The lower half of the armour does not contain many special effects. The heels of her boots contain sharp stilettos that she can activate with a click of her heels, and nothing else.

Weapons

• Ангелос (Angelos) - A SIG Sauer P226 9mm pistol with an angel in it, Angelos is one of Nataliya's primary weapons, alongside Lyutsifer. The bolts of light that he fires blind and disintegrate most fleshy, disposable targets.
• Люцифер (Lyutsifer) - A H&K USP Match .45 pistol with the Prince of Lies himself within it, Lyutsifer is the other half of Nataliya's primary weapon duo. The bolts of darkness he fires distort and destroy most fleshy, disposable targets.
• Поцелуй Ада (Potseluy Ada) - Meaning "Hell's Kiss", this SVD sniper rifle contains a fallen angel, whose powers of life and death have turned the once innocuous sniper rifle into a man-portable medigun, dispensing bursts of healing and energy into allies and destroying her enemies with extreme prejudice.

Abilities

• Enhanced Reflexes, Speed and Endurance
• Gun Warrior - By virtue of having almost no melee whatsoever, Nataliya instead prides herself on integrating her pistols into her melee routine, utilising a style similar to Wing Chun or Bojutsu in addition to bullets, often wielding her pistols as clubs in extreme close combat.

Magic

• Liquid Flesh - Being made entirely of disease and pathogens bestows this benefit upon Nataliya, as her body can be completely liquid and fluid to the touch. Basic, unpowered melee attacks and projectile attacks do not harm her in any way. The only way to truly harm her is to use magic or magic-empowered melee or projectile attacks to break past this magical barrier.
• Plague Carrier - And of course, since she's made of disease, it means she is also very dangerous up close. A single touch from a finger infects a target with so many deadly toxins and pathogens that death is often confirmed, if not instantaneous.
• Poison Queen - Nataliya, using her poison magics, can create pools or fields of poison and death around her. These fields are subject to her will, and can stay grounded, or float in the air as a fine mist.
• Unkillable - Just like the other Reapers, Nataliya cannot be killed. Instead, upon sustaining enough damage to be fatal, she is disabled, akin to being actually killed. She regrows herself through microorganisms, albeit slowly enough to not be considered an active combat ability.

Bio

Voice: Ghostly, husky, light Russian accent. Eloquent in diction.

Personality: Cool, collected and calm, as a medic should be. She displays an air of professionalism, sense of duty and, at the same time, compassion and pride in her work. She is a little more aloof than her other companions, but isn't a total ice queen.

Backstory: Nataliya was born in a turbulent Earth, one where the Cold War was less cold and more hot. Technology advanced faster here too, though not to the extent of her teammate, Itsuki.

Upon reaching her teens Nataliya was immediately drafted into the Russian Resistance Force, a militia force aimed to combat the advances of a Fascist Germany into Russia. In this Earth, Germany never stopped being Fascist even after the second World War, and that only opened up more eras of aggression in the new age. She quickly grew accustomed to the horrors of war, but felt that she'd do better on the sidelines instead of on the front.

Thus she took her chances to become a combat medic. She trained herself to treat battlefield casualties, often being the first one to drag her wounded companions out of the battlefield and towards a surgical station. Through the mud, sweat and blood, Nataliya persevered and eventually a commander recognised her work and gave her the promotion to an actual medical post as a battlefield hospital nurse. Obviously this still meant she was stationed near the front line, but now her main focus was saving the lives of those sent to her, which she took to with gusto.

The decades wore by and the war on the European front never seemed to end, just one side or the other making a half-assed effort to push into the territory of the other, failing and retreating back into a stalemate that had been there ever since the end of WWII. In that time, Nataliya honed her skills; when not actively treating casualties, she was now on the front causing them, having taken up marksmanship as a secondary course of training to supplement her battlefield medicine skills, mostly to back her up in case her emplacement fell and they had to retreat. She was also one of the first few waves of medical personnel to receive a new, futuristic piece of equipment: the Medical Armour suit, which came integrated with various devices to scan for life signs, administer drugs, apply dressings and sew up open wounds with ease, while granting the medics who wore them the ease of mind to run around in a battlefield without sustaining life-threatening injury from how bulletproof the armour was.

However, Nataliya was only human, and through the decades she spent treating casualties, she herself received wounds in battle that were treated by others. And though the medicines and drugs of the time were sufficiently advanced, nothing could stop the advances of disease and malnutrition on the worn Russian front.

One day, while rescuing a squad trapped on a front in Stalingrad, Nataliya was shot by a sniper. Her armour absorbed most of the force of the hit, but the bullet still managed to penetrate her flesh, embedding itself in her liver.

Reeling and wounded, she could only watch as the enemy stormed by her, dismantling the squad she was sent to save and crushing the Russian advance.

No one ever came to save her, and eventually, days after her injury, she succumbed to the infections that followed and died a miserable, painful death.

That was, of course, until the Darkness found her. Her death was one of ill luck and misfortune, helped along by disease and infection, and so the Darkness decided to resurrect her into unlife, powering her body with the very microorganisms that destroyed her.

And so Nataliya rose from the dead, born again into unlife as a being of pestilence and disease, her weapons imbued with both light and darkness, the last of the mythical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Her resurrection was met by the three individuals she would later consider as her team and family.

The Reapers.

Others

Daemons

Ангелос - Angelos

A special type, Angelos is not a daemon at all. Instead, he is a fallen angel, and, like Akuma, Tac and Renny, is considered the leader of the four beings in Nataliya's possession. Upright, noble and courageous, Angelos stands in stark contrast to the daemon that inhabits Nataliya's other pistol.

Angelos brings the powers of light and strength to the battlefield. He emits a constant aura of strength and endurance that affects those around him in a ten foot circle area of effect.

As a weapon, he shoots bolts of light that have a slight homing capability; if not aimed directly at a foe, his bolts will curve slightly and readjust their trajectories to impact his target. Of course, this doesn't mean his bullets behave like guided missiles, the homing capability is light, and only work if fired either directly or slightly indirectly at a target. This ability does not work if fired in the complete opposite direction of her target, or at extreme angles.

Люцифер - Lyutsifer

A daemon of lies and deception, Lyutsifer, or Lucifer, is the Prince of Lies. How he became attached to Nataliya is unknown, perhaps he simply chose to, or maybe his eternal punishment by God was to be weaponised forever in an object, bound forever to his user. Whatever the case, Lucifer now works for Nataliya, and though he is mildly amused at how two fallen angels have also come to work for her, it doesn't stop him from being all that he is: a lie.

Lucifer brings darkness deception onto the battlefield as his main powerset. As a weapon, he shoots bolts of darkness that have a slight homing capability with the exact same limitations of Angelos, stated above.

By will, he is able to create visual clones of Nataliya or any of her teammates, be it Cho or Luis or Itsuki. These clones have their own will and act on their own, even sounding and behaving like them. However, they only exist to draw attention, and if damaged or injured, they immediately vanish. He is able to create up to ten of these clones, not including the original.

Also, he is able to directly affect the visuals of any fired projectile by simply making them vanish, or appear to have been fired from another direction, complete with the requisite sounds and sights. This power of misdirection serves to confuse and distract Nataliya's opponents, and is part of his skillset as a whole.

Небес - Nebes

Meaning 'loss', Nebes is a pain daemon, more specifically a succubus, that resides within Nataliya's armour. Not being directly within a weapon doesn't bother her, for her usefulness is still high. Nebes takes great pleasure and joy in absorbing pain and suffering, using the energy to fuel the armour as well as provide a variety of medicines or poisons for Nataliya to use.

Nebes, being a pain daemon, has pain as her main skillset. Half of it is in the area of absorbing and redirecting it, the other half being in the area of giving it back.

When Nebes absorbs a hit, she converts a portion of the damage and pain into energy that she stores within the armour. At any time, Nataliya can will Nebes to convert this energy into a variety of functions within her armour; fuel for her jet wings, or to be converted into medicine or poison for her syringe gun in her bracer.

And, at any given moment, Nataliya can will Nebes to redirect the pain energy into any of her weapons, making her next attack with that weapon extra powerful and extra painful. If a hit with a powered weapon connects, it will deliver a shock of pure agony that lasts for three seconds. Effects include body spasms, uncontrolled bleeding from orifices, extremely increased heart rate and contracture of the body.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Nataliya is invincible. Any attack that cannot be blocked by her armour is given as a standard attack, and if she isn't wearing her armour then the usual happens. Nebes can only absorb part of the shock and damage of a hit, not all of it, and any huge, powerful attack can overload Nebes' capacity or penetrate through the armour, nullifying her abilities.

Ада - Ada

Meaning 'kiss', Ada is a fallen angel, just like Angelos. She resides within Nataliya's SVD sniper rifle and is the one who delivers life and death unto...whoever she shoots.

Ada's powerset involves life and death in varying degrees. It all depends on who she is shooting.

When Ada is shot at an ally, her projectiles are life-giving cocktails of microorganisms that promote healing and regeneration of lost flesh, while also sending adrenaline and painkillers through her target's system. A kiss of life.

When Ada is shot at an enemy, her projectiles are instead bolts of pure poison that penetrate and spread disease and death. The diseases imparted by Ada can also spread to surrounding targets by way of merely physically touching the infected. A kiss of death.

@Impaqt Over here ya goon.

[TheWizardLizard]

The Character

Appearance: Summer's slightly below average height, on the paler side, with brown eyes and shoulder-length dark hair. Hard living has made her slim and muscular, though in her usual garb it's hard to tell, given how she's just about always wearing some mix-up of coats, jackets, scarves, and all varieties of winter clothing (in addition to the broad-brimmed cowboy hat that she's very proud of). Her face is smooth, rounded, and mostly unmarked, with the exception of a long scar that runs from the base of her chin, up the side of her cheek and to her eyebrow.
Genre(s): Post-Apocalyptic Scrappunk Winter Weird Western
Name: Summer
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Personality: Summer is a compassionate, cheerful girl with a penchant for headstrong decisions and near-blind trust. She's a tireless optimist and incorrigible believer in the power of people to change their stars, though she is also easily frustrated and can be quick to argue with people who she perceives as being in the wrong.
She's very resourceful when backed into a corner, and has developed some fairly substantial issues with authority.
Bio: Summer is an adventurer, survivor, and engineer, who's spent the last few years wandering the frozen wasteland of her world, taking odd jobs, fixing things, and helping out wherever she can. She never knew her parents, and was raised instead by a family friend who taught her everything she knew about fighting and surviving in her world.

Skills: Summer is a decent shot with most kinds of pistol or revolver, and can handle herself fairly well in a brawl. Her world and her life as a wanderer have made her an adept outdoorswoman and wilderness survivalist, particularly in cold climates (as that's what she's been living in... forever). Finally, she's a talented engineer and mechanical prodigy, capable of fixing up, operating, or breaking down to make something new pretty much any piece of tech she can get her hands on.

Equipment: 9mm pistol
Reinforced wooden baseball bat
General Wilderness supplies (First Aid, flint and steel, rope, extra socks, etc.)
Engineering supplies (Blow torch, welding mask, wrench, etc.)
A variety of inventions, including:
A silent hand crossbow built from clockwork that fires nails
A taser-glove made from a mitten, toaster wire, and a lot of batteries
Several jury-rigged pipe bombs
A modcop sawn-off shotgun capable of firing flash powder, smoke pellets, flame accelerant, etc.
A netgun that can be quickly assembled
Knuckle dusters with collapsible spikes (made from nails and scrap metal)
Naturally, this all takes up a lot of space, resulting in her often traveling with a comically oversized set of backpacks.

The Setting

Summer's World: The New Frontier

Summer's world was a lot like ours, once - in fact, it was just another version of our reality. Where it differs is that, in some point not too far in our future, it began to snow, and it did not stop. Not for weeks, not for months, not for years. When that first great blizzard was finally ended, the few survivors who'd huddled wherever there was still food and fuel had a new world to build. But cold and hunger were far from their only problems.

Somehow, the ice and snow had given birth to strange creatures. From the snowmen, bizarre humanoid beasts formed of ice that attacked in hordes and hungered for flesh, to the yeti, massive man-eating beasts, mankind had a whole slew of new predators to contend with in their battle for survival.

People will find comfort where they may, of course, and the pioneers of this new world drew inspiration from a very singular source. So much knowledge and history had been lost that the world before the snows may as well have been a different planet, but some stories survived - particularly, the stories of a place called the Wild West. This was a grand place, a frontier, where every day could bring strange adventures, great danger, or greater rewards. The heroes of these tales - Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, John Wayne, and all the others - were revered, worshiped in places. And so, the new world was molded after these old tales. Civilization endured from big cities to small towns, vagabonds and bandits prowled the wastelands and the saloons in equal measure, sheriffs were the be all and end all of the law. The New Frontier was born.

But that's all ancient history to Summer. For her, the world has been this way as long as anyone can remember. Each blizzard is a little harder, each night a little colder, each year more narrowly scraped by. The world is on its very last legs, there can be no doubt; but if Summer has her way, it's going to go down swinging.

@DJAtomika

Well our characters have one similarity with wings, though they function differently.

However, I have to say, there is a lot going on with this character, and discernible weaknesses pale in comparison to everything else. Which might work fine, I guess, in Arena where you're trying to cover every single base, and its the goal of those involved to usurp the other character through some sort of tactical plan, but here, I feel like its a bit too much. If you can expand on her weaknesses, I'd feel a lot easier accepting this character. There's so much going on, I'm having a hard time just picking out one to focus on.

-Upper Body:
Потеря Небес (Poterya Nebes) - Heaven's Loss. The upper half of a set of daemon possessed medical armour, Poterya Nebes is Nataliya's main source of protection. The pain daemon within the armour absorbs most damage sustained and converts it into healing and shielding. The absorbed damage can also be kept as is and then distilled into syringes that are created by the armour for use in the syringe gun on the left bracer. These pain syringes contain a single dose of pure pain, and when injected into a subject, cause five seconds of intolerable agony

So is she mostly invincible when she wears this armor? Is it penetrable? I can accept her regeneration, but, while she certainly won't be killed, the overwhelming amount of protection she has just sets her up as a seemingly insurmountable character, including her regeneration and her biology. I don't assume that everyone's characters will get along from the get go, and if there are in-group skirmishes where characters end up fighting, I don't want one to vastly outweigh the other in terms of sheer power. Its not fair to the other RP'er. By that extension, I don't want our characters to be successful from the get go. They should encounter hardship and character developing situations within the universes that challenge their knowledge as well their physical capabilities, adding on to what great (or lack of great) experiences they've dealt with in their own worlds.

The homing missiles I can deal with, so long as you accept the balance that not every homing missile properly aimed or not will hit, whether from a misfire, or a retaliating shot. However this:

Also, he is able to directly affect the visuals of any fired projectile by simply making them vanish, or appear to have been fired from another direction, complete with the requisite sounds and sights. This power of misdirection serves to confuse and distract Nataliya's opponents, and is part of his skillset as a whole.

So, can she use these powers all simultaneously, with small intervals of rest between each power? Are they limited to what she is or is not focused on? Or do these daemons functions independently of her?

Plague Carrier - And of course, since she's made of disease, it means she is also very dangerous up close. A single touch from a finger infects a target with so many deadly toxins and pathogens that death is often confirmed, if not instantaneous.

So does this rule also apply to friends as well? Just anyone? Its very ultimate. Also, why is it only magic that works against her? Another things that's quite insurmountable to those who don't include some sort of high fantasy character.

To underline it, there is just a lot going on here.

[DJAtomika]

@Strawberry425 Answering all your questions.

Yes the armour is penetrable by any high powered projectile. Any anti armour rounds, super strength thrown objects or punches, magic powered physical attacks yada yada basically anything above an assault rifle bullet can and will penetrate her armour.

And it doesn't completely block hits either. It absorbs a part of damage sustained, not all of it. Meaning to say she will still hurt when she gets shot, but her armour absorbs some of the pain for use as energy.

Her daemons act independently of her, yes, but they respond to her commands more than they do their own thing. If she asks, they do the thing.

Yes it is only focused on a single target. Forgot to add that in, whoops.

Any sufficiently powered attacks will hurt. Doesn't have to be magic. Basically anything above a standard attack will hurt her past her disease body.

That rule applies to whoever she chooses. Allies, enemies, it can be anyone if she chooses so.

A lot of this is up to my own discretion, so I'll put a limiter on whatever you see as too overpowered.

[Strawberry425]

@DJAtomika

Ok, well, so long as you assure me you'll keep the daemons and armor at an acceptable balance, she's fine to be added to the Character tab. So long as she isn't dodging every attack thrown at her, I'm happy. More than anything, these powers and they're use will depend on you as the writer to write how they are utilized, so while I may occasionally intervene if ever I see something too out of place or powerful, from what I know of you as an RP'er, I think they should be fine. The only thing I'd really prefer you exclude is the "touch her you die instantly" part. That ones a little too...well, instant. It makes me think of too many sad scenarios where characters accidentally touch and BAM some good guy's dead.

I would also hope anyone would reprimand me if my owns posts seem to out of line. GM does not escape the rules. You know the grand total of two rules I included.

@TheWizardLizard

Just gimme a heads up when your char is complete and I shall go and check her out.

[TheWizardLizard]

Oh, she should be good to go now.

[DJAtomika]

They're not world enders, don't worry. I specifically designed them to be used on a personal basis, not to take down whole planets and stuff.

I'll keep them balanced no worries .

[DJAtomika]

Oh, and her homing shots do not have 100% homing capabilities, more like 40%. They'll curve around corners if she can see them round it, but to do full 90, 180 degree spins isn't possible.

[Impaqt]

I have a very specific character I'll bring into this. One I've been planning on introducing to the Arena, but haven't yet. I feel like this would be a good place to start him at. That way I can start him off less combat orientated, and let him grow.

[DJAtomika]

Do share, man. This is my character's first foray into RP as well. I haven't even introduced her into the arena yet.

[Strawberry425]

@TheWizardLizard

Summer is accepted! Feel free to chuck in her CS tab.

[TheWizardLizard]

W00t. Let the adventure begin!

Suppose we should maybe notify the peeps who showed interest, make sure they know the thread's up?

[Strawberry425]

I'm off to bump the old Int Chk thread. I don't want to force people if they're not interested.

[Impaqt]

@Strawberry425 I'm working steadily at my character!

  Hadyn's physical appearance doesn't seem like much, outside of his obvious physical appeal. Like most Kitsune he is tall and skinny, standing about 6 feet tall and weighing about 145 pounds. He is extremely lithe but suffers from a somewhat feeble body, because of this. Even in full attire, they stay light-weighted due to hallow but strong bone structure. His skin is a dark complected, smooth and supple, with narrow shoulders and lanky arms, with a dark black hair color and bright green eyes.
  
  Hadyn's left arm is adorned in various Tattoo-like body art, a dragon in particular. This is called a Kitsune's Okori. Some races translate this as 'Origins'. (More to be explained below) However, it acts as more as an impression on the body and not like traditional Tattooing, and can change as the Kitsune does.
  
  His clothing is more meek and conventional. Hadyn's clothing are light and billowy, held together by various straps and buckles. Adorning his clothes are various metal trinkets, bracelets and necklaces. Though decorative the clothing as a whole is conventional and allows for physical labor and work, while at the same time providing formal attire.
• Avatar Appearance:
  
  As Hadyn begins to take on the Power of his Fox Spirit (In battle situations), Koan, the spirit begins to infuse itself into Hadyn's physical appearance in a variety of ways. Hadyn's natural hair becomes slightly longer and more coarse. His left eye displays a noticeable change in becoming a bright red. Though the rest of his face becomes covered in a strange white fox-like mask, with red markings. These markings become noticeably similar to his Okori, which expands across the rest of his body, changing into a ruby red color. His skin becomes slightly noticeably more thicker, while his finger nails, teeth, and other body extremities become noticeably longer and sharper.
  
  Those that can see spiritual things, will notice a wolf like shape covering Hadyn's body, which acts much like an armor. In certain situations, this can even manifest more physically, to be noticeable by all.

Personality:

• Hadyn:
  
  In true Kitsune fashion, Hadyn has an innate love for Trickery and art, in which he grew up with. Hadyn is much more timid than most, but easily amused. He generally follows his own ethical code, but will usually adapt to the morals of those around him, mostly for the sake of being accepted than anything else. As a Kitsune though, he has strong primal senses and reactions toward certain behaviors. Offending what a kitsune believes is 'correct' can make them evil, malicious, and disruptive. Behaving according to what they think is right, however, is rewarded with politeness, kindness, and helpfulness. Hadyn delights in finding a weakness in someone, and aggravating said weakness until others notice it. Immoral people find their weakness exploited so as to become more immoral, heading down the path of destruction. Moral ones may still be tricked or teased, in order to show them humility. Hadyn always keeps his promises. If he does end up breaking one, he can become self-destructive in behavior, and if someone breaks their promise to a him, they become deadly enemies. Hadyn can be very emotional, and his emotions can be a way to their undoing. Sorrow or guilt can distract or harm them, or even kill them outright. Hadyn won't accept help from those who are unwilling. If one wishes to aid him, they must do it of their own free will. He doesn't like asking for help to begin with, so the offerer usually must initiate. Aside from being emotional, he can also be very vengeful. He can lose his tempers in a snap. Once someone has the hatred of a kitsune, the spirit will begin enacting a revenge that can get quite extreme. Those who have earned the kitsune's trust, however, will have a friendship that can last many trials. Freedom is very important to kitsune. They don't like being bound or trapped, and will not accept being forced into something that they don't wish. Trapping the kitsune weakens it.
• Koan:
  
  Koan acts very similar to Hadyn in most senses, though it tends to act more morally 'good', than normal Kitsune Spirits. For this fact, many who notice Hadyn's Spirit might assume that it is a Myobu. A fox spirit loyal to the Goddess, Inari. A rarity, specially amongst Hadyn's clan of Kitsune who Worship 'The Lady'. Although Koan and Hadyn are one, they don't communicate as much as other Kitsune of his clan speak with their spirits. One could assume there is some level of distrust between the two, though they work in harmony when facing a foe.

Origins:

Deep in the country side of Avelyn, human villages were paved across the land. Hadyn was born in the Village of Minit, amongst his fellow Kitsune Kin. Though, they remained hidden from the humans that lived around them. The Kitsune were not shy creatures at all. They mingled with the Humans on almost every basis. However, Kin related things stayed within the walls of their own homes. The Humans of Avelyn were never fond of magic, and specially not those of creatures outside of themselves. If a Kitsune were discovered, it would mean the death of them and their families.

Luckily, as great illusionist as many of them were, hiding themselves was relatively easy. When the humans began to show signs of aging, where the kitsune did not as much, they'd travel to another village and blend in once again.

Hadyn was born with 3 identical brothers; Pau, Kuzu, and Jing. His clan was known for it's many male Kitsune, which would be extremely rare in other clans. Pau was a very kind-hearted child. Kuzu and Jing were mischievous and often in trouble for going too far. Hadyn was somewhere in between. He loved good practical jokes, as was common for Kitsune, however, he knew the extent at which it should go, to not be caught by Humans.

Because Pau was the Kind-hearted one, he would often be a target of his two mischievous brothers. Elders of the Kin learned in quick time, that Pau had not developed the Spirit of the Fox, and thus was marked as Human. Regardless, Hadyn had a deep love for his brother and spent much time with him were others would not. Humans born of Kitsune were often overlooked.

Kitsune were taught at a young age to begin developing their abilities. The three primary abilities were Communicating with their spirits, Minor Illusions, and Fox Fire. Hadyn developed the last two excellently, however, he found it difficult to speak with his Fox spirit. Being one of the easiest abilities to master, his elders found it quite concerning, though they could never figure out the reasoning. The only obvious answer was that his Fox spirit did not want to speak to him for some reason.

Over time, Hadyn developed an unbreakable connection with Pau. While Hadyn learned to use his abilities, Pau often watched, and as soon as he was excused, the two would wonder off into the village. Partially to enjoy the scenery of the village in the evening, but also to escape the torments of his brothers.

It was during one of these times that disaster struck. Kuzu and Jing had managed to find Pau alone, and began messing with him, playing with his mind through illusions. Pau found himself frightened and scared, attempting to flee, impaled himself on a broken fence line. Moments later, Hadyn found him and his two now frightened brothers surrounded by a group of strangers who were confused and appalled at what they had just seen.

Feeling himself overwhelmed with anger, Hadyn lashed out at his brothers, tossing punches. Several grown humans attempted to step in as Hadyn found himself immediately tossed back, no match for both of them. However, this only angered him further, causing a sudden surge of power in himself. Suddenly, and without warning, the skies above the village were full of fire. His Kin found the kids mere moments later, knocking each of them unconscious.

However, the damage had been done. The surge of energy caused every illusion and protection the Kitsune had in place to suddenly fall. It didn't take long for the Humans to realize what had happen and begin to retaliate. In one swoop, hundreds of Kitsune and even many humans would succumb to the raw power of fear from the humans. They were wiped out.

Hadyn woke days later just beyond the village. There was an unmistakable smell of burnt flesh. As he attempted to run and find out what had happened, a man reached out his hand to stop the boy. The man sorrowfully grabbed Hadyn's shoulder and in an instant, his entire life changed. Hadyn mourned for years after the fact, but his spirit somehow survived.

The man that had saved Hadyn, he'd only know as "Arsto". Hadyn would stay with the man for years, but he never learned much about the man personally. He just knew he was trustworthy. He knew that Arsto was a scientist of sorts, though the things he studied were often very strange. He had only ended up saving Hadyn's life by mere coincidence that Hadyn's Kitsune clan was one of few that produced boys. That was, alone, enough for Arsto to want to study them. Arsto immediately recognized Hadyn's abilities when he discovered the bloody boys in the streets of Minit. It was he who would then knock the boys out swiftly in attempts to quell the situation and save the rare Kitsune Clan. However, even he did not expect what would happen. He managed to sneak Hadyn out of the village before the slaughter began.

Suddenly, Hadyn found himself in the city known as Judicah. An ancient city built an maintained by an assortment of races, many of which Hadyn had never seen or even heard of. The technology was so advanced compared to the small world he had come from, he was unsure of how to take it all in. He wasn't sure how Arsto did it, but he was in a whole new world.

Hadyn would work for many years underneath the scientist, helping with his studies and learning quite a bit about the world in which he now lived, and others that he was able to explore. Hadyn's cleverness became quite an asset for the scientist. Though, the studies he found most interesting were ones of ancient empires that once ruled. The intricateness of their magic was fascinating to him. The most notable to him, was an Empire that ruled under the command of 'The Red Sage'. Hadyn found it's magic to be extremely notable among others, and spent much of his time studying them.

However, even the studies couldn't keep a Kitsune for long. Hadyn developed a sense of adventure, and outside of his new found work, he'd spend much of his day with many friends doing nearly insane things. Though, what he would seek more than any of that would be to find out more about his own species and what exactly happened.

Arsto was much help in training Hadyn in as much Kitsune culture as he knew. Hadyn found that not only was Arsto very intelligent, but quite combatant. He never knew how Arsto knew all the things he did, but he didn't ask either. The man was very secretive about his past, and preferred it that way.

After many years though, there wasn't anything Arsto could do for Hadyn anymore. His Kitsune abilities were developing in strange ways that neither could explain. He began having strange dreams. Dreams of other worlds. Dreams of strange creatures. Dreams of a masked man with strange music. Dreams of The Red Sage. He needed to follow them. Follow the Signs.

Armor/Clothing

• Clothing
  
  • Hadyn wears the absolute minimum he thinks he can get away with during normal situations. He has a hard time letting himself be confined to clothing, but he does. His clothes are usually dark material, light and open enough for him to not feel confined too much, but also not too loose that he could easily get caught on something. He enjoys wearing belts and various bits of jewelry that he develops an attachment for. His favorite piece of jewelry however, is a small white orb earing, he keeps in his left ear. He isn't sure where it came from, but he has an unnatural fascination for it.

Weaponry

• Keibi
  
  • A 36" double sided Katana. Keibi was originally created as an Elfish blade, made to be light and swift, while packing a defensive punch against large ogres, that would swing hard. The blade uses a mixture of bizarre properties and magic that lightens blows used against it or hits with extra pulse, making it a very viable weapon as well as shield, typically for spell-swords that would use their other hand to cast magics. The blade was given to him by a group of elderly elven merchants who were very thankful that he had showed up in time to fend off a group of bandits in Neveina.

Abilities:

Natural:

• Avatar State
  
  • Also known as the Kitsune State. This is the state in which Koan physically manifest in the appearance of Hadyn's own body. This state is automatically taken if Koan feels threatened. Hadyn's natural abilities are increased dramatically, including; Strength, Speed, Defense, Agility, and Endurance. His natural senses are heightened substantially. While Hadyn's natural scent is very good, his Kitsune state can allow him to smell things several miles away. He also receives a spike in what he is able to do with his Kitsune's magic, where it is traditionally limited otherwise. The Avatar state also creates a physical yet invisible armor around him, that can only be seen in the spiritual, or in very select instances. It takes a fox-like humanoid shape.

• Surge of the Fox Spirit
  
  • Koan provides various defensive capabilities for Hadyn. The spirit prevents curses, hexes, and the like from directly affecting Hadyn.

The Surge also acts in the same way towards toxins and diseases attempting to take it's course in Hadyn's body.

Updated my previous post with the finalized version of Hadyn's initial Character Sheet. I plan on it changing and adapting over the course of the RP, based on events that happen.
