@The Omnipotent Sphere Love the character, Is he actually a Cleric of Orcorum or is he just a worshiper? He's fine either way this is just my own curiosity. I like the touch with the Gold Knights, I like the ship ALOT. I can't seem to spot anything particularly problematic. I think he will fit in quite nicely with the Knights of Star.

And Gods TYPICALLY only have one Avatar and that sounds good to me

Quick Geography lesson for Galendar: ANgel's Landing sits smack in the middle of the continent and the whole nation of Galendar is made up of 8 Providences and Angel's Landing is the capital of Carincal the Providence that sits at the center of the nation. Its also the largest city in Galendar, second only to one called Kevin's Watch which sits on one edge of the nation. At some point here I will get a map all put together for reference


He's not a true cleric, as in he's not part of any official holy order. He's just a worshiper who earned the God's favor along with his four companions through their dedication and accomplishments.

I can make smaller, less detailed sheets for the other Gold Knights if they ever appear on the scene.

Sounds good, they can always go in the NPC section if you decide to use them for something. Oh and on that side note if anyone has characters from their characters back story that you think it might be interesting to put in The Stygian Blade, let me know. That could always be interesting.

Name: Lux Shizuku

Alias/Nickname: Lady of the Veil

Appearance:





Age: 27

Race: Chaos Scared Human

Personality:

Lux can be described as a very sweet and gentle woman. Protective of her friends and of those who are less off, she comes across as a selfless giver, eager to please the world and change it for the better. At times she can become the life of a party, merry and jolly for her comrades and those who call her, her friend, and always makes sure to keep everyone entertained. Though while Lux is kind, thoughtful and happy, she can appear Bitter, spiteful and enraged when provoked too far, and finds herself unable to keep a clear head during these moments, she isn't perfect, and even she has her weaknesses.

Biography/history:

"So... You wish to know about the Lady of the Veil?" Spoke a white cloaked woman, her skin freckled yet void of impurities, her fingernails sharp and strong, clawed almost, like a demons. Her voice was strong, mature and deep. You and the cloaked female sat in a garden, lonesome and devoid of people, as the woman patted a wood and monochrome bench beside herself for you to sit, whether you sit or not, was up to you...



The cloaked lady stood up from the bench and removed her white elegant cloak, to reveal the face of lux, the veil upon her head. She sighed contently, and gave a slight nod to you, before her body became almost phantasmal, a thick mist coating the garden, as she vanished from sight, leaving you to your thoughts...

Reason for recruitment: Even though anyone in her predicament would go the cliche path for revenge, Lux doesn't care for revenge or vengeance when she joined. In all honesty, she had joined just so she could stop what happened to her from happening to other people, to keep them safe and secure, and to give up her own life protecting those who can't protect themselves, and asks nothing in return from the ones she saves.

Still, thoughts of getting her revenge do surface from time to time, but she tries to bury those feelings away, and simply desires to put an end to terrible monsters for other people, not herself, as that would be selfish.

Strength of Will: Greater

Magic:





God relations: Lady of Air - Finding Lux's wild magic of her manipulation with air impressive with her manipulation of air to control fire, the Lady of Air decided to bestow Lux with some of her magic to help her improve.

Tech:

High-frequency longsword: A steel bladed longsword infused with magic and crafted with technological metals which, on the press of a button, become coated in a powerful electric aura to hurt or stun opponents. The longer she keeps the electricity on, the longer the battery drains, and can last up to 4 hours until it needs to be charged a further 4 hours to use the electricity buff again. Aside from that, it is a durable and fairly sharp blade.

Plasma round shield: An infused round shield which is made of the same material as her sword, this shield however is made of mostly energy/plasma, which is held together by a metalic ring around it. The round shield isn't small but not large either, giving a balance between weight and protection. She is able to throw the shield outward, and with a strong magnetic connection to her wrist, is able to call it back, allowing her to use it like a boomerang.

Data comp: Attached to her arm is a holographic computer allowing her to access information about the climate, the wildlife, and keep her up to date on her ally's vital signitures. She can also use this to check information on the information she has stored or others have helped to store on the system

Possessions/items/property:

A playback video holodisc which continuously plays moments of Lux's childhood with her family.

Book of puns - Someone has to keep them!

Thought recorder - A small journal which she taps on to replay the thoughts that she recorded previously, simply by thinking a date.

Skills:

Swordplay: I think it's pretty understandable by now, Lux is a close up combatant, keeping her sword arm strong, she can deal quick and dexterious strikes with her blade.

Reaction: Using her shield, one has to be quick on their toes, as is Lux, able to use her split second thinking to effectively block strikes thrown at her by opponents. Of course, with split second thinking, that doesn't mean she is a auto-dodge queen, no, she can easily be assaulted if under pressure, if teamed up on, or ambushed, her reaction times just give her a better chance of avoiding damage if possible.

Trustworthy: This plays on her ability to get others to trust her, and is able to persuade individuals to get on her side, to help fight for whats right or to help her in whatever mission she has at the time. It takes a lot to trust someone, for lux, it's not as hard to trust her, having just the right... aura, if you understand?

Only two hours?

Pfah, that's nothing

And yo, viet, there's nothing wrong with tried-and-true if you think you can pull it off. Trust me. Some of the most fun I've had has come from playing blatant, unrepentant ripoffs of certain characters.

@The_written_John I don't think her Greater Will is represented in her abilities, she doesn't seem much stronger than Abrasax and he has Potent Will.

So you might want to reduce it to Potent, or upgrade the scope of her abilities. Also, if her mother was a "demon" and not a "cambion" then I think she would end up a cambion instead of a chaos scarred.

Nnnooo, id prefer her as chaos scared thank you, her mothr isnt some form of succubi, which is what makes a cambion (succbubi and human), so cambion she is not. And i dont think she classifiess as second generation? Either way, rather keep her as she is.

And if i need to improve or advance her abilities, so be it, i didnt know what was too much, so il add to that in the morning.

@The_written_John This RP isn't based on religious canon, a cambion isn't the child of a succubus in Galendar they're just a second generation demon. My character is a cambion, their father is a pure demon and their mother is another cambion.

As far as I understand, chaos scarred was meant for those with diluted demon ancestry.

Well whatever, the races list says second generation, i dont know if lux classifies as second generation... Cuz tecnically you could apply that to all demon born.

Edit: seriously? So i guess my entire app was pointless then? Dammit..

@The_written_John Well if their mother is a demon I would think that their mother is a first generation demon, her children would be second generation demons, and Lux's children would be third generation demons (unless their father was a 1st gen) which would make her children chaos scarred.

Although, of course, this is mostly a cosmetic discussion and doesn't really effect the character, I was just mentioning it.

(Edit: I haven't read your full history, so I wouldn't say it was pointless, if the chaos scarred part was important I'm sure there's some adjustment that could be done D: )

Name: Theros Leonin
Alias/Nickname: Theros of The Way
Age: 110
Race: Fae - Gæians

  • Theros is of a particular breed of Fae known as Gæia. Gæians are commonly mistaken for monsters such as lycanthropes. Gæian is actually the collective term for a group of species sharing both animal and humanoid characteristics; centaurs and Minotaurs fall into this category. Due to the wide range of species, people generally give Gæians in general a wide berth, as while some species are more docile and civilized, others are violent and akin to monsters. Subhuman and Beast-man are often used as derogatory terms to refer to Gæians. Most breeds of Gæians live to around 200-400 years, though the vast majority of breeds mature into adulthood around 15-20. and it is rare to see a Gæian live past 150.


Personality:
Typically calm and collected, Theros is mature and reasonable under most circumstances. Rather orderly and somewhat strict, Theros prefers structure and organization to haphazardness and acting on the spur of the moment. Strong willed, and somewhat hardheaded, Theros is often blunt, but not cruel or callous. Expressive and commanding, but not tyrannical, Theros has no issue taking the initiative and portrays many leadership qualities. Stalwart in the face of adversity, Theros isn't easily intimidated and welcomes challenges as a opportunity to better himself. Brave, but fiercely prideful, Theros isn't easy to anger, but is easily susceptible to pricks against his pride and character. A worldly man, and a bit of a cynic, despite possessing a well developed moral compass, Theros will often ignore morality and act in what he believes are in the best interest of himself and his compatriots.

Biography/history:
Hailing from the eastern Plains of Irith, Theros was born the second son to the leader of one of the various nomadic Gæian clans. As the son of a Clan leader, Theros lived a rigid childhood, a constant circle of travelling, training, and learning - all revolving around the Clan's warrior-religion, known as "The Way". The Way was known as a path to spirituality through the process of mastering the arts martial. At a young age, the followers of The Way chose a martial school to follow and strive to master. Theros' brother chose to follow The Way of the Staff, Theros chose the Sword. The brothers, both male lions of the clan butt heads often. Their arguments were plenty, and their arguments were loud, at times aggressive. The Clan elders often sought to reconcile the brothers, but their efforts only brought temporary peace before the brothers would be at one another's necks once again.

When he turned 15, he underwent the Trials of the Plains, as all members of the Clan did when they became of age. For the next 3 years, Theros wandered the plains alone, meditating upon and training his craft, relying on his natural instincts and the kindness of other Clans for sustenance when needed. He returned a changed man, and successfully passed a series of martial rites given to him by the Clan elders. His brother returned shortly after he. Many of the Clansmen thought that the trials would soothe the tension between the two brothers. His older brother eventually took the place of their father as the Clan leader, and Theros was to become his right hand.

Theros and his brother continued to have disagreements long into their adult years. The tension between them growing until it reached the breaking point. One fateful day, Theros challenged his brother to a duel to decide the leadership of the clan. The fighting was fierce, but in the end, Theros was defeated, and cast out of the Clan into exile.

Leaving the plains of Irith, Theros stepped into the world of man, where he slowly integrated himself into their society. Theros eventually found himself in Angel's Landing, where he worked for a time as a mercenary, guard, or any occupation that required a physical touch. Eventually, Theros wound up in the employ of the Knights of Star.

Reason for recruitment: Theros joined the Knights of Star as a steady source of income for his needs.

Strength of Will: Potent
Magic:

  • Abjuration

    • Protection of The Way - A thin shell of magic that coats the user's body. This barrier shields the user and lessens the force of blows- though not completely. Alternatively, it can project a singular plane to stop blows like a typical barrier.
    • Healing of The Way - A simple spell that reduces fatigue in increases the rate at which wounds heal over time.
    • Mind of The Way - A spell that clears the user's mind and enhances the brain's processing speed, greatly enhancing the user's reaction time. This spell is rather tiring, and requires an hour of rest/minimal physical exertion per minute used.
    • Strength of The Way - A spell that increases the user's physical capabilities.

God relations: Theros worships no particular god. Instead, he follows the ideas of The Way, which is more akin to a type of lifestyle than religion.

Tech:

  • Nanoweave Clothing - The clothing worn by the Clans from the Plains of Irith are often made of strong nanoweave fabricated by techniques and materials known only to them. This makes nanoweave a highly valuable commodity that the Clans often use as trade goods with the outside world. Nanoweave is quite flexible, but provides protection comparable to full plate armor.
  • Plasmatic Blade - A sword made of high tech metals and superior craftsmanship, this weapon projects an energy edge around the blade, providing the weapon with increased cutting power. For optimum performance, the leading edge, 'pointy end', should be applied to the enemy and thrust into vital regions. This should be repeated as necessary. The weapon's scabbard also serves as its capacitor for recharging.
  • Force Staff - A rather common mage and militia weapon. Force weapons are fairly easy to make and simple in function. The concept of the weapon revolves around its enchanted orb, and can be attached to a variety of platforms, from topping a staff, to the end of a mace, or cudgel. Upon impact, the orb releases a blast of kinetic energy in a manner that applies crushing or pushing damage on a target. The strength of the energy blast depends on the quality of the orb. Most common quality Force Weapons provide enough force to crack bones- though not necessarily through armor.

Possessions/items/property: Aside form his clothes and his weapons, Theros carries scant little else. He carries a satchel with which he places necessary supplies- water, food, etc, as well as tools for his weapon.
Skills:

  • Swordsmanship - Theros is an adept swordsman, with traditional training stretching all the way back to his cub years. His recent decades in Angel's Landing has also familiarized him with many modern styles of swordsmanship, and Theros has combined several of the different styles he has learned into a single fluid style. He wields his staff in the same way as he wields a bladed weapon. He often serves as a swordplay instructor for many of the new recruits
  • Unarmed Combat - While never trained in hand to hand combat, given his size, speed, and strength are greater than that of an average human, he can usually handle himself in a fistfight.


Its late and I'm tired, so I'm going to have to clean the rest of this up tomorrow. Here is my character as is so far though.

Really quick. SO. A Demon. Is anything born of TWO demon parents. A Cambrion, is anything born of ONE demon parent and something else. Even if the other parent is a Cambrion or a Chaos scarred, the child is a Cambrion if it has ONE demon parent (unless the other parent is an Angel but don't ask). A child is a Chaos scarred if ONE of its parents is a Cambrion OR a Chaos scarred. So you can have Chaos scarred orcs, chaos scarred humans, etc. But you are a Cambrion (its actually a technical race) if you have ONE demonic parent. Same for the other two races like this. Angels, and Devils

Also. Will is not always directly related to magic ability. Its related to magical POTENTIAL

@The_written_John We'd have to ask the GM, but I think the will listing in the races section is just their standard strength, you can still be at greater if you're a cambion.

Of course, you could also just change your mother to a cambion and that'd make all her children chaos scarred, if you wanted to be one of them that much.
