[OOC] Kyoukai no Kanata- Reverberance

[LotusWarrior]

Sorry @PKMNB0Y, I am going to be a bit of a dink and drop out. School is getting a little hectic (only the first week, OMG NOOOO!) and I do not want to disparage the game.

I will be lurking though so you guys have fun!

[Zombehs]

Hey~ What's up. Hope you don't mind if I drop some interest here?

But also expressing curiosity if foreigners are allowed.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@LotusWarrior: That's a darn shame. Well, no harm, no foul. Good luck with your classes!

@KoL: That's fine, then. All my qualms are gone, you're free to put your form in whenever.
Also, if you haven't already noticed, I end up accidentally dropping a lot of game terminology when I'm just chatting. It's... A habit.
Whatever. Point is, accepted.

@Otaku95@Zombehs: Foreigners are A-OK, but remember that they've got to have SOME reason as to why they're there in the first place. It's in a relatively landlocked region of Japan, so...
Yeah.
And for Otaku's second question... Not necessarily and depends. It depends on what you define as a 'gun' and how exactly that scythe functions. I have no qualms with melee weapons, so long as they're strong enough for combat and not enough to bisect, say, a skyscraper in a single swing.

[Jurassic Weeb]

@PKMNB0Y Gotcha. I was just thinking of Ruby Rose's Crescent Rose, minus the sniper rifle aspect.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Ah, no, that's fine. Like, I don't mind a weapon user, so long as it doesn't overlap with anything else, per se. So long as you can take a concept and make it your own, I'll usually have no problems.
Miiight be a bit nitpicky if it looks too strong, though.

[Zombehs]

Cool. I know you said half-Youmu are not allowed, Youmu as pets are rare, but what about a partnership between Spirit World Warrior and Youmu?

Essentially a symbiotic relationship where the Youmu gets to possess my character's body for the chance to experience sensations it normally can't, while my character remains in control and is strengthened as a result.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder how will be Reiko's relationship with all these high schoolers. Because she's almost old enough to be rookie teacher (she'll be graduating on the next December, since she got to college at 17).

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Zombehs: Erm... I'm going to go off the assumption that you haven't seen the end of the series, so...
I'm pretty certain that such conduct is usually frowned upon and usually results in general shunning by everyone who knows of it...
Also because, even without that, they need a power, and stacking extra strengths on top of that power is... Usually...

@KoL: Well, it is summer break when the RP starts, so...

[KoL]

@PKMNB0YI know that, this means that they have more chances of meeting, though the exact nature of will depend on what everyone will be doing on the IC is up. Anyway, I think that Reiko might become a sort of older sister figure to most of them (specially the girls), while any boys will probably see her as a target of admiration, since she has a model's look and is a very feminine woman.

The downside of that is not getting to wear her winter visual (which I rather like), unless we have a very cold summer night sometime... or go to the mountains.

[Zombehs]

@PKMNB0Y Been a while since I finished the series, so yeah, memories are a bit fuzzy.

The character would be from Europe from a family who fight alongside their familiar, or shikigami even if I don't recall things like that being used by any of the characters in the series. So it wouldn't really be an extra strength, since being able to create this bond is his family's shtick.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@KoL: I'll leave that to your imagination.

@Zombehs: Familiar/shikigami are essentially the same thing, but that aside, the concept looks fine to me.

[Cinderella Man]

Got space for one more? Lots of interesting characters in here, looks like it might be fun.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

It's permanently open, so sure, why not?

[Cinderella Man]

I'll get on my character as soon as possible!

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Alright.

Well, I'd like to wait until tomorrow afternoon before I'd like to write a post up to kick things off, so look forward to then.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Grey Star@Zombehs@Otaku95@Cinderella Man@RolePlayerRoxas@Rin

Blanket notification saying that the RP's kicked off. 'course, it's still open, but I'd just like to let everyone know that characters are meeting characters now anyhow.

[Grey Star]

Roger roger, boss. I shall have my post up and ready by tomorrow!~

[Jurassic Weeb]

Gotcha. I'll do my best on working on a profile tomorrow. I prefer writing up CSs on a computer, and I'm using a phone right now.

[Cinderella Man]

Name: Kouta Himura

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: [Lethargy intensifies]
Kouta typically wears very casual clothing outside of school, sweatpants, t-shirts, the staple of a man who has no need to dress well. He stands, or rather, hunches at a height of 5'5". However, when he stands straight, an extra 3 and a half inches or so are added onto his height.
Personality: The greatest description of Kouta comes in the form of one word. Uninterested. He, in and of himself, tends to be very lethargic and slow. His train of thought is very one track and he can often end up behind in conversations due to him focusing in on one thing too heavily. Or simply not paying attention, that also tends to be the case. He also tends to be semi-irritable at times, although it's never to the extent of being overly rude. As mentioned previously, he's quite lethargic in most situations. When not spoken to directly for several minutes or whilst not doing any physical tasks, he'll often drift to sleep silently. He attempts to avoid as many forms of physical labor as possible with varying success.

On the other side of the coin, Kouta can express extreme amounts of energy in very short bursts and continuously during battle. Waking him from his sleep can lead to a display of this energy, typically leading to him overreacting and accidentally attacking somebody. Kouta tends to be a very big eater, spending large amounts of his income on snacks and meals. Food is a very effective bribe, and can get you miles of favor from him.

Kouta is a decently intelligent person, despite his lack of skill in natural conversation. If you can get a straight answer out of him, more often than not it will end up being decently useful. When it comes to fighting, and specifically protecting others, Kouta has no sense of hesitation. He'll throw himself into a battle if he senses that he's needed without saying a word and will perform as efficiently as he possibly can.

Profession: High School Student

Abilities: Kouta's family has an ability known to them simply as "Absolute Reflex." Absolute Reflex has two applications that Kouta can take advantage of (although he's been told there are more). The first thing that this bloodline ability does is quite obvious. It heightens Kouta's reaction speed to it's peak, essentially slowing things down from his perspective to make it easier to dodge. Unfortunately for him, his use of this skill is highly inconsistent and only manifests itself smoothly when he's in serious danger.

The second grace(or vice) that Absolute Reflex lends to Kouta is a sort of "dangersense." As a sixth sense, it acts as an extension of his body that helps him to know when he could possibly be harmed. The issue with this is that it isn't very specific and doesn't give directions or timing. He could get a flair a few seconds before he gets hit in the face with a soccer ball or a few minutes. As a result, he tends to disregard it more often than not. Both of the skills of Absolute Reflex drain Kouta's energy consistently, being one of the main sources for his stagnant nature.

Although this specifically isn't any form of supernatural ability, at the behest of his family because he has no other skills to protect himself, Kouta has learned a decent amount of swordsmanship. He has a blade especially made for him by his father which Kouta tends to carry about hidden in a guitar case.

History: Kouta's ideals about life have been almost entirely shaped by his parents and what they've told him. He has carried the weight of his lineage, as an only child, entirely by himself and with mixed success. At first, his parents decided that they wanted to be overbearing and make sure that he never went anywhere. Unfortunately, that lead to a lot of argument and issues. So his parents then decided that the best idea would be to let him live on his own, at his request, and watch him grow from more of a distance.

Other: Quite a big fan of movies and rap music.
His guitar case also carries a pillow and blanket. Just in-case.

Introducing Reiko sad side, now Daich gotta take responsibility... hehehe. The funny thing is that they don't know that each of the is a Spirit World Warrior, yet. I wonder how surprised they will be when the time of the reveal comes?
