Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

[KoL]

I presume this is taking place in Japan, based on the city name, correct?

@Eschatologist

Yup, but your character can come from anywhere you want to.

<Snipped quote by KoL>

Thanks! :3

@Javier

No problem. :)

[White Feather]

Alright - you got me. I'm interested. CS up soon, probably not today.

Geoffrey

~Geoffrey Windsor~


Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.

Name: Geoffrey Windsor
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: British-American
Height: 6’ even
Weight: 170 pounds
Blood Type: AB
Birthday: November 8th
Alignment: Freedom
Affiliation: [TBD]
Aliases/Titles: Geoff [pronounced Jeff, like usual]

Personality: Thoughtful. Opinionated. Driven. Pragmatic. Geoffrey is a man who lives by his ideals and will fight to support them. He values consistency and honesty, and does his best to never lie or betray the trust of others. He is loud, aggressive and brash, and has on many occasions been thought rude. He has little respect for authority, and though in his past enjoyed the trappings of rebellion more than the practice of it, he has shifted from that mindset. He values freedom more than anything, and he holds many viewpoints that many would consider optimistic. He has little time for faith or ignorance, and hates being uninformed. He is fastidious when learning and never stops analyzing situations, a double-edged attribute he has been tempering in recent years.

Background: Born to a British father and a Texan mother after moving to Sonomachi. Growing up as an outsider, he had an initially difficult but ultimately satisfying and happy childhood. A rambunctious child, Geoffrey nevertheless performed well in school and entered university double majoring in history and political science. He developed, after a trip to his mother’s homeland, a love of firearms, and chafes at the restrictions of his homeland in this regard. Just over three years after his graduation, he found himself pulled from his internship at a middling newspaper and into a fascinating, alien world, populated by all manner of hideous and incredible creatures by the whims of fate. Geoffrey has embraced his role as a chaser, and though he is still unfamiliar and afraid of the red wonderland, he has taken it upon himself to learn more about it and document it’s mysteries for the betterment of humanity.

Powers: Geoffrey noticed, when he entered the other world, time seemed to pass slower. Much slower. If he concentrated, he could make seconds multiply in length. Having seen some of the other fantastical abilities the denizens of this realm possess, he cannot say he is not disappointed, but he continues to study and train his newfound blessing.

Skills: Geoff used to pay the bills with his passable writing and mediocre photography, and those skills have not disappeared since his resignation. He was in good shape before his discovery, and since his becoming a Chaser his efforts at fitness have redoubled, personal safety and a new sense of manifest destiny a much better motivator than attracting women. Geoffrey has all sorts of ancillary talents, just like anyone, but his most applicable skillset to his new role under the crimson sky is not only his broad knowledge of the operation and manufacture of firearms, but his natural aptitude at their use, his skill under and returning fire improving by leaps and bounds after his circumvention of the prosaic firearms laws of his country, and the ample space for practice in this brave new world.

Weapons: Geoffrey first acquired an M4 thanks to leaps in the printing of lower receivers, and uses it as his weapon of choice in a pinch. He has multiple barrels and rounds for different combat applications, and a bevy of accessories if they are necessary. He managed to procure a Bren Ten, a passion acquisition primarily, thanks to the esoteric ammunition, and a large rifle chambered in .458 for handling the impressive threats he has seen in the distance of the red world.

Equipment: No explorer should go without a sturdy helmet and plate carrier, lengths of rope, plenty of ammunition, flares, an entrenching tool, a pair of sharp knives, a hand axe, and a set of city camouflage, custom tinted slightly red. He carries a rugged camera for video and photography, small enough to be carried in a pack and tough enough to survive some rough treatment, while being still affordable on his very tight budget. Having heard from stories about the terrible tales of people being manipulated through eye contact, he has managed to procure a pair of night-vision goggles, which will hopefully mitigate the danger of such a seemingly-unlikely occurrence.

Other: His personal heroes are Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Erich von Manstein

I figured I change things up. He is not japanese, overly morose, a teenager, cute in any way, or self-doubting. Or a spooky monster/person with overtly kooky powers.

[Mcmolly]

Interested as well, CS up later today. You guys run quite a number of RP's don't you?

[TheWendil]

@Mcmolly

This is actually a remake of an older RP, lol. Glad to have you aboard.

[KoL]

@EschatologistI liked your character very much. Do you mind if he and my main character know each other from the college? She should be around his age, but has a Master's degree at philosophy, instead of double major. I think it would be hard for them to know each other.

This is her (still WIP) CS:

Asamiya Reiko

~Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky - Character Sheet Template~

~Asamiya Reiko | 朝宮 霊子~

The only thing you have once you become empty is space to be filled...

Name: Asamiya Reiko
Age: Unknown, but she looks like around her mid twenties
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 lbs
Blood Type: O
Birthday: August 8
Alignment: Neutral Good
Affiliation: Asamiya Clan and The Crimson Veil, ex. Hunters' Association
Aliases/Titles: The Scarlet Sage, The Wanderer, Deep Red

Appearance: "Your character's appearance. Can be an anime like image, a text description or both."

Personality: "Your character's personality. Can be as much or less detailed as you want it to, just be sure to leave at least a few guidelines for it."

Background: "Your character's background. Can be as much or less detailed as you want it to, just be sure to leave at least a few guidelines for it."

Powers:

- Goddess Rule (Vesta): Women of the Asamiya clan sometimes are born with the spirit of an ancient goddess linked to their souls. It's not to say that they are goddesses given flesh, but more like a symbiotic relationship were the true goddesses get to experience the mortal world while lending part of their powers to the Asamiya women. Reiko was born with the spirit of Vesta, the Roman goddess of sacred fire, the hearth and the family, and thus has control over fire and flames of all kinds as her main power, she's also immune to most fire based powers because of that.

- Orthodox Magecraft: Reiko is also well-versed in most forms of traditional magecraft, in fact, she's considered a genius whose skills are just a few steps bellow the greatest magi of the modern world. Her expertise lies within the field of body alteration magic and she can craft all kinds of familiars and other magical constructs. She's also very good at the preparation of magic rituals and potions, as an inderect effect of her affinity with the hearth fire, and thus the "witch's cauldron" that's always hanging from it.

- Eyes of Soul Perception: A secondary power of the Asamiya Clan, and perhaps Reiko's most powerful weapon (to the point that she sealed a part of its powers) this allows her to peer into the soul of anyone she makes eye contact with. At her current level, Reiko can read people's emotions and superficial thoughts like an open book, but it's said that the part of her powers that she sealed allowed her to do such things as illusions, trap others' souls, mind control and even erasing someone's soul just from looking into her eyes. The extent of truth on this story, is something that Reiko doesn't comment with anyone.

Skills:

- Master's Degree at Philosophy;

- Basic small arms and self defense training;

- Basic knowledge of how to operate most small veihicles, including airplanes and boats;

- Knows at least 17 different languages and dialects, including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Chinese. She isn't fluent in all of them however, and some have only a passable knowledge of speech, but not reading;

- An acomplished traveller, she knows her way aroud many places around the world;

- Excellent negotiation skills.

Weapons: "Your character's weapons list. Mention only the most important ones, please."

Equipment: "Your character's equipment list. List only important (non weapon) items here."

Other: "Anything not covered by the above."

@McmollyWelcome aboard friend.

[Eschatologist]

Sure. He left college after getting his batchelor's degree, so it would be conceivable for them to be the same age, with your character just staying in higher education. Though, her having passing knowledge of 17 languages while also being an accomplished mage and holding a master's degree seems a little far-fetched, especially someone evidently in the top fraction of a percentile of human intelligence going to school with someone who is functionally average. Such accomplishments would certainly color the relationship, at least.

As for knowing each other, it is good with me. Geoffrey is the most /k/ommando character I could come up with, so a little goofy magical nonsense would be a welcome addition.

By the way, I hope you allow a little bending of reality when it comes to Geoffrey acquiring weaponry, japan is a no-fun hellhole and him getting the toys he needs to stand up to what are shaping up to be Mythos-level threats is going to need some suspension of disbelief.

[GingerBoi123]

Hi there, room for another?

[KoL]

@Eschatologist Her CS is still under construction, so there's a lot of unneeded material to trim. In the end she'll be much less exaggerate when complete. Effectivelly, she'll be a mix between Styl Magnus and Aozaki Touko, if you know what I'm talking about.

Hi there, room for another?

@GingerBoi123

Sure! Come in!

[Eschatologist]

Oh man my weeb cred is proving insufficient. Regardless, sounds good to me, I expect we'll make good partners.

Our characters knowing each other will reduce a lot of Geoffrey's 'Bwuh? What's going oooooooonnnn?', which could get boring otherwise.

Also, a question about the entrance to the other world: can anyone who can go through pull anyone else in?

[Kitsune]

@TheWindel
We will get this Yuri ship this time, we will get it

@AgentFallenSoul

*Grabs @KoL*



I heard the mention of Yuri and so I was summoned to your side!

@Eschatologist

They are characters from A Certain Magical Index and Kara no Kyoukai, respectively, but if you don't know the sources you don't need to bother with that. In a nutshell, she's a genius fire mage.

And yes. Actually, getting in the Crimson Sky can be surprisingly easy, since the portals appear naturally and don't require special powers to cross. They simply look like patches of harmless shadow to people who don't know, so getting there accidentally is quite easy.

@Kitsune

Da hell? How did you get here? ... you know? Don't bother with it.

You wanna join too? This RP is my best one so far, I'm sure you might like.

[Kitsune]

@KoL

Not accepting of my love ;x;

Though really I was looking for something based on Youkai and when I looked for something here you were. Face it, I am always fated to find you whahahah~

But yes, very much yes. I even got a youkai char that I have been REALLY meaning to use ever since I couldn't do so before.

@Kitsune

It's nothing like that, I'm at work now, so searching for GIFs is complicated, to say the least. I would never shun you.

Anyway, itseems you and I are really bound by some invisible thread, but that youkai you're talking about isn't someone I know, right?

Sent ya a PM about it, so read it once you are back from work heh.

I also expect some wonderful yuri gifs to show how thankful you are for me being here =w=

[Spriggs27]

Damn this took off when I least expected it, I'm gonna bring my char when he's finished, I'll show them the power of a real Yokai and eat all of the other Yokai.

And Kitsune, I will tear you to pieces if you mess with KoL any more.

Not if mine eats you first >:U

Eleanor O'Brien

Eleanor O'Brien

"...."

Name: Eleanor O'Brien/ Lilith Ce'takchs-ni
Age: 1000+(?)/(?)
Gender: Female/Female
Race: Human/Youkai
Height: 5'9/5'5
Weight: 170 lbs/ 130 lbs
Blood Type: B- / B+
Birthday: Feb 24/(?)
Alignment: Neutral Good/ Chaotic Neutral
Affiliation: Follower of Ikkime
Aliases/Titles: Quiet Monolith

Appearance:


Personality:
Lilith is a very quiet soul, almost rarely does she talk, She hates life and everything about it, the happiness, the joy of feeling the warmth of others, like she did when she was alive. She use to show compassion but now its just simply nothingness, no regret, no anger, no happiness, just a feeling deep down of sorrow. The sorrow of never being able to take back what she did so many many many years ago, the sorrow of leaving the loved ones long dead. Also allows herself to not be the center of attention which she does not favor when not fighting. She likes the quiet in general and nothing more, she will try to end a fight as quick as possible to return to silence. She does however have a much darker side to her that many others do not know about. Her demon side, though she can hide it extremely well, craves violence and the sight of death. She loves fighting no matter how much she tries to hate it, and this side appears on the battle field. What arises is something that little to anyone alive has seen, a second personality within Lilith, a true monster. She appears on the battlefield and this will be someone you wish not to meet, for blood lust resides in this version of her, a person that Lilith calls, Sis. She can be heard sometimes whispering to Sis, arguing with her.

Background:
All that's known about her is that she was with Ikkime for a very long time...

Powers:
Lilith are able to demonstrate a natural aptitude for the ways of the scythe. She is able to wield a scythe with great proficiency in speed, power, and skill, allowing herself to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimate large objects or areas, cutting through hard materials such as steel, and even hold back her strength to deal damage to their foes without killing them. Lilith is also able to operate with little or no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision and cut only and exactly what they want. This ability also allows her to become naturally skilled with multiple scythes or any bladed weapon regardless of shape or size to suit their needs in combat. Lilith is incredibly fast weapon control may allow them to bypass obstacles in order to cut their intended target. This is only one half of her full ability, second being enhanced condition, being already put at a huge disadvantage when it came to using a scythe for combat. Lilith is at the peak physical and mental condition of her human side. She can achieve great amounts of strength without any super-/unnatural methods. This usually entails that she is are faster, stronger, more intelligent and overall superior to a regular human being without being obviously supernatural. Lilith is capable of running at the speed inhuman, her stamina much like her inhuman speed is extremely increased. Her strength is superhuman, she is able to carry 1500 pounds of weight with her arms. She has increased hearing, better than human trackers, and her sense of smell is also increased. She basically has the ability of a super solider, gained from training with her mentor and being the daughter of an elder demon. She also wears an eye patch over her left eye, this allows her to fight at a huge disadvantage making her even better in the way of the scythe and hand to hand combat. This means when she takes the eye patch off, her combat skills and scythesmanship sky rocket to the levels never seen before.

Skills:
*Extreme Scythemanship
*Stealth
*Survival in the Crimson World

Weapons:
The scythe itself is an enchanted hell metal almost damn near impossible to find anymore. It is fireproof and heat proof as well as extremely hard to break. When light shines upon the weapon, it glows a red purple. The scythe collapses into a ring of a black star that fits on only Lilith's finger. To remove the weapon, you must kill the user, the user being Lilith, and cut from her middle finger on her right hand.

Equipment:
Armor that appears when Lilith gains control

Other:
Theme Song...

And this is my second char!

[Eschatologist]

Do the laws of physics work the same [without the active intervention of magic] in the crimson world? Things like friction, the speed of light, inertia and gravity?

EDIT: Ginger you need to close your first color order.

Yay! Below is my character:

Tsuyoshi Tatsuo

"If you lose, it's not over. If you stop, then it will be over"

Name: Tsuyoshi Tatsuo
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human Chaser
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150 lbs
Blood Type: B
Birthday: July 31st 1998
Alignment: Neutral Good
Affiliation: Wants to be a member of the Hunter Association but no affiliation yet
Aliases/Titles: "The Boy Tinkerer", "The Tenacious Fighter

Appearance:

Personality: Tsuyoshi is a tenacious and cheery young boy who is incredibly friendly. He literally embodies the mindset of never give up because he actually never gives up, especially in a fight. Tsuyoshi helps any Chaser in need no matter who they are. He can sometimes be labelled stubborn or reckless at times, which is what it looks like on the outside. However, Tsuyoshi is truly determined to win any fight, overcome any challenge and defeat any opponent till he physically can't go on.

Background: Tsuyoshi didn't really live a very interesting life before he was a Chaser. In fact, his one true hobby was fighting. He didn't get himself into fights per se, he got his friends out of fights. However, that usually resulted in him fighting instead. He picked up a lot of tricks and stuff but he was still bored of nothing to actually do. Nothing interested him. However, when he first entered the world of the Crimson Skies, he wanted to explore every aspect of this new supernatural world. However, when he discovered that there were other people that could access this world, he wanted to help them too, and became a defender. He usually shows up at the right moment where he can intervene in a fight and take the place of another Chaser that needs help. That's pretty much all he does in the Crimson Skies, and he's gonna keep it that way.

Powers:During his time in the Crimson Skies, Tsuyoshi has developed two powers. One is pyrokinesis, the abilty to conjure and control fire. He can do things such as creating fireballs, encasing his fists in fire, etc. His other power is the unique ability to recover quicker than others. He can take more damage than most Chasers and recover from injuries at a rapid pace. This doesn't go as far as growing back a limb or something ridiculous, just enough to let him stay in the fight the longest. He'll still feel every bit of pain nonetheless.

Skills: Tsuyoshi can make weapons out of mostly anything (mostly melee), earning him the title of "Boy Tinkerer". This skill is especially useful when he needs something quick and effective in a fight, and Tsuyoshi enjoys sharing his creations with the other Chasers, giving them his weapons when needed. Tsuyoshi also possesses minor free-running skills. (Think Mirror's Edge type of free-running. Moves that helps him traverse terrain easier, not fancy or stupid stuff)

Weapons: Tsuyoshi's weapon is a katana. Unless he needs to make one, this is the only weapon he uses.

Equipment: He fits what he can in his pockets to assist in making weapons such as duct tape, a screw driver and other things.
