Mary Kaw

---

"Me, an American? How did you figure that one out?"

---

IGN: Mary Kaw (Just goes by Mary)

Name:
Ari Washington

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Mary is, at least in the game, an omega patriot. She believes that America is the greatest country in the world and that freedom should be doled out to every single dungeon. She's loud, brash and pretty much a stereotypical American. In reality, however, all of this is a running joke that she shared with a few of her friends. In the real world, she was still loud and brash, but not quite the pinnacle of American culture. She was just someone who liked a good laugh.

---
History:
Ari was born in the grand and mysterious American city of Gaylord, Michigan. There wasn't much to do in Gaylord. Hell, there was nothing to do there. Instead, Ari did nothing but play video games.

Her life changed when she found Elder Tale. Instead of playing DOTA 4, Team Fortress 2 Episode 2 Part 2 or Onlywatch, she began playing Elder Tale. Months passed, then years. Ari became a top enchanter on the American servers. She participated in numerous raids against all Kaida-level bosses and had been in numerous secret PVP events. Her life changed when her parents had to move to Europe for no specified reason.

Her life was in shambles. Months of grinding and fun, gone. It was terrible. Luckily, when she got to Europe, she saw that if Americans migrated to their server, they would get a neat American flag item. All was good. She happily used the flag in every situation. Running around towns, running away from PKers, et cetera. Her life changed when she found a guild that laughed at the flag. Of course, wanting more laughs, Ari called them "Commie scum" and it was "Better dead than red". They loved it. They invited the level 5 Ari (who had been playing for months, but not killing anything or doing any quests) to their guild.

Months passed. Mary was forced to go to do missions with them. She got to the point where she was level 69, and refused to go any farther. They gave her numerous gifts, and with that, Mary did nothing else. To pass time, she brewed "American beer" much to the laugh of her guild mates. She got that up to max level, and not much else happened.

The guild slowly drifted apart, and Mary was left alone, brewing her beer. It was pretty boring, not to have anyone laugh at her.

The next expansion came out and Ari saw herself as her character. As the old saying goes, the rest is history.

Build:
Brewchanter
A build pioneered by Mary Kaw. She built it around buffing their teammates so much that they become a ball of death that rolls through dungeons, primarily using the "tipsy" buff. Never got to use it properly, though.

Spells/Skills:

• Astral Binding - This spell prevents a target from moving for a short period of time. It is a basic technique that can be used to keep them in place while the caster's party attacks or advances. It is also useful for crowd control. Visually, the target is surrounded by a tight ring of magical threads
• Mind Shock - This spell is cast as a dark purple sphere that the caster launches at a target. The sphere explodes upon contact with the ground and causes minor damage to all targets in the vicinity. It also causes confusion and lowers the target's attack accuracy and ability to dodge incoming attacks. Because the spell's cooldown period is 180 seconds (3 minutes), it can usually only be used once per battle.
• Pulse Bullet - Extremely low cooldown. Fires a bolt that deals low damage. Combined with "Cast on Beat", it can be cast over 30 bullets a minute. Drains MP like mad.
• Keen Edge - This magical support spell increases the base attack power of a weapon by 30% when wielded by a member of the caster's party, for several hours
• Magic Light - A non-offensive spell that produces light at the end of the user's staff, which then forms into a floating, possibly-sentient orb of blue and red-white striped light that follows the caster. The orb of light will turn its head as its caster turns his or her head, and cower behind the caster when faced with opponents.
• Accuracy Support - A buff that lasts for 10 seconds. All attacks will hit, no matter the circumstance. 10 second cooldown.
• Cast on Beat - Visually, a metronome appears above the caster. Whenever someone near casts a spell when the metronome clicks, all cooldowns are slightly reduced.
• Gain Immunity - Visually, the target becomes surrounded by a golden aura. Lasts for 10 seconds. The target this is cast on takes reduced damage and is immune to all forms of crowd control.
• Magi Howling - The user screams an intimidating warshout, increasing the magic damage of all nearby enemies for a short time.
• Haste - The user casts a red aura around them. Everyone within the aura gains movement speed and attack faster.
• Elemental Infusal - The user chooses an element and enchants a target. The next 20 attacks from that target do bonus damage of the chosen element.
• Reflex Boost - Passively increases the EVA of everyone around the user.
• Overrunning - A special skill that enchanters are defined by, if they're buff based. When activated, everyone deals 200% damage to non-boss monsters and gain 200% movement speed. All buff abilities known are applied to nearby targets. Lasts for 10 seconds. Can only be used once every two hours.

IGN: Krystal

Name:
Hannah Van-Leeuwen

Age:
31

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Krystal is unequivocally mysterious and incomprehensible. Her cryptic and riddle-like manner of speaking sometimes makes her hard to understand or conversate with. She has a subtle and elusive way of deceiving others and withholding the deepest and darkest of secrets. Her dreamy like presence makes her seem a little airy, magical, and whimsical, but underneath her flowing garbs lies an intuitive and cunning mind, further enhanced by her Foretuneteller subclass. She has a knack for understanding people and sometimes their intentions. She can read someone like a book. Although not the most elegant individual, her demure and glazed countenance makes her seem aloof and dissonant. Nonetheless, Krystal is extremely feminine and delicate in both appearance, voice, and mannerisms(despite the avatar actually being male.)

But it is also this trippy and hazy way of behavior that makes her seem a bit weird and "out of it". She often marvels at simple things like the moon and fireflies and can sometimes be found mumbling to herself or to the stars, or to a flower. People sometimes mistake her for an air-head because she is a bit of klutz, managing to trip over her own feet or stumble into things. Krystal is quite mysteric, further emphasized by the fact that her in-world appearance is actually male, eventhough it looks completely female. This was purposefully done in an attempt to ward off online perverts(Though its actually somewhat backfired). Her common expression is doe-eyed, which makes it difficult to understand her true intentions and feelings. Despite this, she is actually quite motherly, mature, and sensible. She often uses words of endearment when addressing others such as love or dear or darling.

Her strongest quality is that she is extremely patient. It's rare that she gets flustered by time. She has an uncanny ability and willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay. This is because, as a fortuneteller, she strongly believes in fate and destiny and that things cannot be changed(or they are extremely difficult to change). Everything is what it is, everyone is who they are, and everything that happens was suppose to happen at the exact time that it happened. Because of this, she doesn't ever really feel things like optimism or blessings, because if something occurred in her favor, it was simply suppose to happen that way. That's not to say she wouldn't feel disappointed if something occurred to her that was unfavorable, but she accepts it as a part of her fortune and destiny. Despite this, she puts forth her best effort in the tasks that are assigned to her because he is "supposed" to according to the laws of fate.

Summoner

Subclass Level:
90

Guild: World Canvas(Medium Sized Guild)

Build:
Fairy Channeling- This is a very rare and underrated build wherein the main focus of Krystal's summons and spells are fairy like and unconventional. While the fairy channeling build excels at unorthodox healing methods via <Moonlight> or <Fairy Kiss>, it also provides much needed elusiveness for the summoner and the squishier members of the party with the ability to create illusions. A summoner who specializes in the use of fairies provides utility, support to their allies, and utilizes misdirection to confound, manipulate, and deceive their opponents.

Spells

Summon Attacker: Demonic Butterflies-- This is a summoning spell that conjures a swarm of demonic butterflies, that upon activation, congregate to a desired target and devour it to the bone. When used on an opponent, they cause a minor DoT proc that last 30 seconds. Enemies defeated by this spell have a 25% chance of dropping additional loot.(Very low cooldown. Can be cast on several targets at once)(DoT procs can be stacked).

Summon Attacker: Bewitched Crystal Ball-- This is a summon that conjures a bewitched crystal ball that harnesses the essence of a mischievous sprite. It floats closely around Krystal's immediate vicinity and dissipates after 30 seconds if not used. The crystal ball is relatively slow moving, but should an enemy get close to him, it will seek out the foe and assault them relentlessly until they move away from him. The crystal ball generally prioritizes its enemies based off who is closet to him. While it mainly moves on its own seemingly "random" path, Krystal can briefly manipulate its movement in simple directions or towards a specific target.

Summon Follower: Psychai-- This is a summon that stays active until recalled or defeated. Psychai is a summon that takes on the appearance of a beautiful bare woman who is of a tall stature, with long willowy pink hair, pale skin, and large butterfly wings that sprout from her back. Not only can it fly, but Psychai can shift the colors of her wings and create swirling colors and patterns, allowing her placate nearby foes/creatures and lure them to her(like moths to a flame). Enemies placated are under the luring effect for 20 seconds(Against other players, they simply cannot attack her) and have their DEF lowered by 25% for 30 seconds.

Summon Follower: Oberon-- Oberon(The King of Fairies) is an extremely rare and powerful offensive summon that takes the form of an very handsome bare man who is of a tall stature, with a cascade of exotic flowers wrapped around his body, deer antlers, and large iridescent wings that resemble that of a dragonfly. While summoned, his passive ability grants his allies an increase in her maximum HP by 15%. During the day his STR stat is increased by 25% and during the night, his DEF stat is increased by 25%. His antlers take one minute to store up sunlight/moonlight(during day or night respectively), and then fires it off as a powerful solarbeam/moonbeam that does massive damage. During the cooldown while his antlers are recharging, he is an aggressive long-range fighter equipped with a bow that shoots magic arrows.

Summon Follower: Fairies-- This is a summon that stays active until recalled or defeated. This summon conjures a group of fairies who function as one being, like a hive-mind. These fairies can be commanded to burrow into the mind of an opponent causing moderate DoT and they can work together to manipulate and move objects. This is especially useful for utility purposes, cause it allows Krystal to move objects(in a telekinetic-like fashion) way heavier than he'd be able to move on his own.

Fairy Circle-- The scales of a fairies wings have a unique property that bends light and is capable of being used to create illusions. These scales in large quantities appear as glittery fragments of iridescent dust. This spell conjures a circle of fairy dust near the ground that last 30 seconds(with a 5 minute cool down). When Krystal or an ally steps into this circle, it creates the illusion that their body is dissolving/vanishing into a dispersing veil of glowing ethereal butterflies. In actuality, the fairy dust is bending light to create the illusion of invisibility. The invisibility only last 15 seconds.

Fairy Kiss--A single target reactive heal, this spell allows the caster to summon a fairy that flies over to an ally and kisses them, leaving a glowing mark where they were kissed. The mark is permanent until activated or the caster cancels it. The person who is marked activates the kiss when they so desire, and in doing so, sacrifices a percentage of their MP to recover that percentage + an extra 25% to their HP.(For example, sacrificing 25%MP recovers 50%HP)(The kiss can only be activated once and once it is used, the mark disappears)

Moonlight--An AOE toggle healing skill with a radius of 18 meters, this spell allows the caster to summon a miniature moon above the area. Calling forth the serenity of night, this moon generates a medicating aura that surrounds the area in moonlight's gleam, causing the environment to shimmer and glisten (like moonlight causing the ocean to sparkle at night). The silhouette of allies and enemies within the aura glows. While this spell is active, the caster loses 2MP every second. 75% of the maximum HP of every enemy defeated within the aura is stored OR 75% of all damage allies recieve while within the aura is stored as HP. Once the spell is deactivated, all stored hitpoints are evenly distributed to the caster and their allies who are within the 18 meter radius.

The Metamorphosis-- Upon activation, this spell causes his summoned fairies to converge together and begin a metamorphosis. The process turns the fairies into a living copy of Krystal with its own health bar and mp bar. This copy is capable of performing several of the moves Krystal can perform (a single-target variant of Moonlight, Demonic Butterflies, and Bewitched Crystal Ball). Additionally, it has its own personal skill called "Sacrifice", wherein upon Krystal's command, the copy sacrifices all its HP and deals all the loss HP as damage to a single target and shares all that loss HP to heal a single ally. Sacrifice can only be done once every 24hrs as the effects of the shared damage and healing is extreme.

Glitter-- This spells conjures several fairies and upon beating their wings fiercely, they scatter their scales around an object which appears as a veil of glittery fragments of iridescent dust. This fairy dust/glitter, bends light around the object, allowing Krystal to create an illusion and cause the object to appear as something else. This can be used on inanimate objects, himself, or even his allies. The illusion last for 3 minutes with a 5 minute cooldown. If the glitter isn't used on a specific object, he can create an illusion seemingly out of thin air, but the illusion will only last 1 minute.

Prediction-- This is a passive ability that allows the Fortuneteller to survey the area within a 10 meter radius of their current position. The Fortuneteller will be alerted to the location of any player that enters this radius. Also, all monsters that will spawn within the next 5 minutes will appear as semi-transparent figures with timers above their heads showing their spawn time. This information is only visible to the Fortuneteller. While some Fortunetellers use this as a way to avoid trouble, there's been a number of field boss hunters who like to have one with them so that they can predict the incoming monster or player, and make preparations.

Sympathetic Premonition-- When touching or holding on to an object that belongs to someone, Krystal can call upon a premonition to show him the location that person will be at in the next 5 seconds, allowing him to pinpoint that person's current whereabouts or at least see a visual image of that individuals current situation. This spell has a 6 hour cooldown.

Clara's Gift of (Mis)Fortune-- Either a blessing or a curse, this spell allows Krystal to predict someone's future through quatrains that he writes down unconsciously. Clara is an invisible spirit of fortune. It is an odd and small ethereal creature, invisible to those who are not Fortuntellers or of the Mage class. It hovers over Krystal's hand and manipulates his arm and wrist to automatically write his poems. The target of the fortune must handwrite his/her name (aliases and handles count), full date of birth, and blood type on the piece of paper on which he will write the poem. A picture of the target's face is necessary if he/she isn't present. Krystal's fortunes take the form of a poem with four or five quatrains of four lines each. Each verse represents a week of the current month, and typically events referenced in the poem are present as metaphors. Inauspicious fortunes always contain advice, and misfortune can be avoided if warnings are heeded. Although he cannot use this ability to predict his own fortune, with all the conditions met, it can be used at will to predict the future of others. An individual can only have their fortune written once a day.

Lemonade

IGN: Lemonade

Name: Adrian Goodman

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Personality: Despite his generic real world appearance he made a name for himself around campus for being a bit of a skirt chaser, someone who truly enjoyed the company of young lady. This transferred into Elder Tale, he admires the beauty and pursues it. However Lemonade and Adrian alike never pursue too far, never to the point of harassment. He purses after a bad start because he believes that a bad first impression isn't an obstacle to a relationship.

On the other hand, Adrian a bit of a Devil. He tends to prank others that he perceives as disingenuous since a person's true nature comes out in times of stress. This pranking in real life translated into the Virtuoso path in Elder Tale, getting people annoyed and frustrated that the de-buffs he inflicts make them unable to perform at peak efficiency.

---
History: If you met Adrian in the real world you wouldn't give him a second look. He was a generic University student, maybe 165cm tall with curly brown hair and blue eyes. He was only moderately more famous in Elder Tale as a Bard called Lemonade as he was one of the only Bards with the Mariachi Sub-Class, gained from winning a Bard exclusive event in Meder City from the seventh expansion. As the first winner he was also awarded with the Dia De Los Muertos equipment set that was only useable by a Mariachi that increased the strength of the Bard's De-Buff abilities.

Lemonade gained some renown for his role in the Gates of Hell raid, also known as "The raid with the annoying drops", that lasted over a week. Lemonade was a part of the 3rd Party for the raid, so he wasn't exactly the first pick, but the final boss Dantenion, a giant skeleton that a Fear de-buff aura and regeneration rate that increased the more minions he had around, was were he proved his worth. His party ended up being the keystone that prevented the enemy from overwhelming the main body while the 1st and 2nd parties broke of to flank the Boss. Lemonade layered de-buff upon de-buff, making certain that no amount enemies were enough to overwhelm their party, by the time the 1st and 2nd Parties had worn down Dantenion to half strength the remaining monsters were no longer a threat. When things started looking up Dantenion went into his second stage which consisted of shadows coiling around him and forging a pitch black armour and limiting the maximum damage he could take with a singe attack, making defence and strength buffs all but useless. The 3rd party was the first to catch on to the method needed to win. Lemonade was actually astounded that it took all the other Enchanters and Bards so long to start using speed buffs and power de-buffs. As a result of the Lemonade's powerful strength de-buffs the 3rd party took very little damage from Dantenion, with the Druid helping to further nullify the damage, but it was the speed buff that allowed the Swashbucklers to take down Dantenion so quick that it lacked the opportunity to use it's more powerful skills.

With the raid boss dead everyone lingered to see what powerful weapon Dantenion would drop, if it was a one handed weapon it was decided it would go to the Templar leader of Party 2, if it was a staff it was to go to Party 1's Sorcerer and there was a candidate for each kind of drop. Lemonade was happy to let them have the spoils, every class had a priority above Bard when it came to these drops since every class could use the weapons better than a Bard. That's why it caused a small uproar when the Phantasmal drop was a Bard's Trumpet Requiem for the Lost "All that work and only a lousy Bard can use it!" was the outcry then everyone noticed that there was a Mariachi sub-class requirement and there was only one, Lemonade. The group rationalised that Lemonade was the one who had helped not only survive the wave of monsters, but it was also Party 3 that had killed the boss. So with logic prevailing they agreed that Lemonade would have the Trumpet.

lorenzo

IGN: Silver

Name: Lorenzo Argento

Age: 19

Gender: male

Personality: Lorenzo himself wouldn't be much to look at however he prides himself in acting like a gentleman to women and being a nice person to everyone. Lorenzo was born in Spain and as a result understands Spanish but he learned to understand English in school. While Lorenzo isn't as handsome or strong as his classmates he did always pride himself in his intelligence and how well he could solve problems that presented themselves with enough time which is why he was always a fan of strategy games. Lorenzo always likes to think of himself as an activist and believes in being a rebel however he is not an anarchist for the very reason that he sees the reasoning behind rules that are placed while he wont agree with them and might not follow them he will not storm the castle to change it simply for that reason.
Overall Lorenzo is gentlemanly while is a smart and intelligent person when it comes to a game of strategy. He disobeys authority figures but wont attack the rules they follow simply because he doesn't agree with them.

History: Lorenzo was born in Spain to loving parents and as he went through the tradition k-12 program he learned he English and likes to play strategy games like chess. Throughout his life he learned to use the intelligence he was born with to his advantage and managed to get into a good college leaving his family behind. The funny thing is that Lorenzo wanted to be a game designer himself and learn to create games like Elder tail which was going to be his major as he explored college. However while he loved the game itself he simply didn't have the time to put his nose to the grindstone and level up as much as he wanted so as a result he isn't very high leveled and he soon stopped playing the game to focus on his studies. Once he had a little breathing room with his studies he went back to playing and wondering what changed the game and afterwards he realized he woke up in the game itself and you can guess from their...

“Alright, now, you’re just trolling. I’m a dude.”
Personality:
“Well, what can I say here…I’m a nice guy, you know? Ignore all those assholes who q.q about my guild beating their ass. What I enjoy are challenges, and the types of people I like are challenge lovers. Nothing gets the blood pumping harder than a dangerous, sketchy fight that demands perfect play, after all! And nothing feels better than crushing someone’s egotistical attitude, especially if they’re a goddamn pussy class like Assassin or Mage. Sure, those types are nice when it comes to PvE, but PvP? Bitch please, stop spamming and hiding.

Really though, outside of glorious 1v1 PvP combat, I must say that I actually read the lore for Elder Tale. I mean, I AM a Bard with a Courtesan sub-class, after all, even if I’ve approached it in a hilariously unorthodox manner. Gotta love NPC interactions and making money off performances. Not much of a guitarist, but when it comes to singing? Man, I don’t even NEED the Diva sub-class.”

History:
“I play video games to escape the fact that I have no idea what I want to do in the future, and because my parents are total twats. There. Easy. Have a summary of my entire RL life.

When it comes to Elder Tale, though, I think I’ve been playing for…six, seven years now? Reissten is my baby boy, after all, and I pretty much never actually played an alt. Endgame content is the most fun, and after you get a taste of that, the levelling grind just doesn’t feel cool anymore. Anyways, I would like to think that I was one of the more prolific Bards in the server, but in my early days, it was more about soloing dungeons than partying with strangers. Fun times, but the slow grind was so annoying.

Thankfully, Intolerant was there, and I stopped playing with NPCs! Dude’s hilarious, and he’s also manly, so we hit it off pretty easily. From there on, I got together a few more guildless friends, and the famous PK Guild, <BDC> was made! It started with just casual ‘for honor’ affairs, but after a while, all those Elder Tale streamers with their high-and-mighty attitude sorta ticked Intolerant the wrong way, and we went big game hunting.

Sorta scumbaggy, now that I think about it, but hey, it was still a challenge, and after kicking that one Assassin’s face in…what was her name again? Skyswimsky or something like that? Well, whatever. Got us lots of attention, and there was a period in time where we PK’d so much that I actually got bored of it, and started raiding seriously.

Thank the heavens for that as well. <Fifth Princess’s Remnants> had just been announced to occur two weeks after I decided to go do PvE, and I forced myself to hit max level in order to participate. Took a little more time than I thought it would for us to find pubs that didn’t think I was trolling, but after that was sorted out, I lucked out so fucking hard. Got my first (and only) Phantasmal-class item, and it fit my build idea so well that I probably shouted loudly enough to bust my guildies’ ear drums.

From then on, it was pretty smooth sailing, I’d say. That casting time reduction really made things easier for a slow class like Bard.

And the Catastrophe? I love it. Finally, Elder Tale has become a true skill-based game. And I get to escape from reality even harder! Yay~”

Guild
<BDC>
A small-sized PK Guild founded by Reissten a couple of years back, it’s comprised mainly of his friends, and has enjoyed some infamy these days. While the original idea was just to have all the benefits of a Guild, Reissten realized that all his friends shared the same taste: gotta go big, or go home. From there on, one of the other members, Intolerance, suggested that they become a PK guild, focused on taking down famous, high-level players and kicking Assassins in the throat.

Later on, Reissten expanded on the ‘manliness’ factor further, turning BDC into a guild that specifically declines healer classes that aren’t War Priests or Exorcists, all Magic classes, Assassins, and Weapon-using monks. A little harsh, of course, and they’re often scrambling for decent pub healers when it comes to raids…but it’s still cool.

The BDC became famous six months ago, when the entire guild, comprised of 13 players, donned level 10 Normal equipment and weapons, and managed to defeat a famous lvl 80 Assassin wearing Phantasmal equipments. There was a metric ton of quick clicks and timely Provokes, but after an hour, they managed to kill that filthy stealth burst dickhead.

Unfortunately, when the Catastrophe occurred, only two of BDC’s members were logged in: Reissten and Intolerance.

Build:
Cadenza – Solo Play Specialization
Reissten specializes in tactical play, not strategic play, constantly and swiftly switching songs in the heat of combat, and staying out of range of enemies until the very instant cast time is completed for his offensive spells. Back when Elder Tale was but a game, people thought that he was playing Osu or some other rhythm game whenever he got into a hard boss fight. With optimal equipment, Reissten can outmatch the DPS of a swashbuckler. Without that equipment, Reissten simply becomes a mediocre warrior that has an excellent sense of timing.

His Wolf Fang buff is really what makes him capable of doing this build though. It would become nigh impossible if not for that free strength buff.

Spells

Transformation – Calling upon one’s Wolf Fang heritage, it is a self-buff that turns one into a furry in exchange for a large boost in Strength.

Resonance Beat – Imbues weapon with a tune that can be transferred onto the enemy on hit, dealing shockwave damage. When the enemy is hit after that, the shockwave resonates with the attack and explodes, dealing more damage.

Dissonant Beat - Imbues weapon with a tune that can be transferred onto the enemy on hit, dealing shockwave damage. When Resonant Beat is used to trigger Dissonant Beat, or vice versa, the shockwave becomes an AOE effect that lowers the Defense and reduces the Agility of all valid targets around the enemy.

Symphonic Beat – Imbues all allies with a Symphony stack that is consumed when they attack. If multiple allies attack simultaneously, they gain a damage buff that scales off the amount of Symphony stacks consumed at once.

Staccato Beat – Changes user’s AGI and STR stats around and grants 100% crit chance for a singular attack. If it kills the enemy, the cooldown for Staccato Beat is reset.

Philistine’s Requiem – Permanent status buff that renders 20% of all damage dealt as true damage for all party members.

Scherzo of Elements – Permanent status buff that imbues ally basic attacks with an element of the user's choice, as well as converting all physical attacks to magical attacks. Can be recast with no cooldown to change the element.

Twin Sword Impromptu – Permanent status buff that doubles the amount of attacks, but halves the base damage and increases mana consumption of spells by 50%. Used for increasing the effectiveness of buffs.

Climatic Crescendo – Permanent status buff that increases damage of allies based off the amount of times they have struck a single target. Buff is reset every time the ally targets a different enemy.

Rhapsody of Star-Crossed Lovers – Permanent status buff that randomly pairs up allies and makes them share both HP and MP. When either of them are injured, that HP pool decreases, and when it reaches zero, both of them die. However, there is no way for them to die alone.

Toccata on Stormy Days – Permanent status buff that increases party’s Agility and Evasion and passively lures monsters to the party. As long as this status buff is on, monsters ‘tagged’ by Toccata will continue to chase the party, until they leave the zone.

War Hymn – Permanent status buff that steadily increases movement speed and attack damage of the party over time, provided that they never stop moving. Great for a band of melees, but not really useful when one has to consider more stationary players.

Remembrance and Reincarnation – Permanent status buff that affects the entire party outside of the Bard. When an ally dies, their mana bar becomes full, before rapidly decaying. Until that ‘timer’ runs out, they can use whatever spells or attacks they desire. After they finally ‘die’, they cannot be revived by Clerics. A song that appears to only be useful if one doesn’t have a high-level healer.

Swan Song of the Valkyries – Self-buff that enables the Bard to double the amount of songs they can play at once, in exchange for having half of total mana cost be inflicted on their HP instead.

Equipment

<The Fifth Princess’s Tears>
“A pendant holding the blood of one of the Scrapped Princess’s parents. It was a beloved piece of jewelry, holding the memories and arcane knowledge of those long past.”
Phantasmal-Class
Back in the days when Elder Tale’s level cap was 50, there was an exclusive raid for the West Europe server, featuring a heart-breaking plot of lost love, Alvs, and, at the very end, a hellishly overpowered magic-spamming lvl 70 boss who doesn’t even actually die when you beat him.

Reissten was one of the players who participated in that raid, and managed to luck out and get that Phantasmal-class drop. It is a pendant that halves the casting time for spells, in exchange for halving their range as well. For someone like Reissten, this was literally perfect. Even though other pendants at higher levels granted better stats, The Fifth Princess’s Tears is the only equipment that grants such a massive decrease in cast time.

<Spellslinger Tunic>
“Once worn by a performing magician who practiced to entertain instead of fight, people say that his spirit now resides in his clothes, urging others to ‘do it snappily’ as well.”
Production-Class
A Level 60 cloth armor, Spellslinger Cloak increases Evasion and Agility. It’s a rather flamboyant tunic, really, with shimmering reds and golds, as well as fancy threads woven inside that glow when one casts magic. Nothing too special, it suits Reissten’s style just fine.

Weapons

<Waning Lunar Glaive>
“Like the moon, man’s strength also wanes with time. Crafted of moonstone and blessed by starlight, this blade scars the very soul of its victims.”
Production-Class
A Level 65 two-handed weapon, the Waning Lunar Glaive has a unique effect that makes it an optimal PvP weapon. Instead of doing damage to HP, it does damage to MP, draining the mana of those that it strikes. Especially effective against classes reliant on spells, it is, sadly, ineffective against bosses, due to their horrendously massive MP pool. The glaive itself has a slim blade, and is milky white, glowing softly in the darkness.

<Valkyrie’s Flight>
“The silvered spear of the battle maidens, forged in the flames of Valhalla to guide the worthy to their final destination.”
Ancient-Class
A Level 70 two-handed spear, the Valkyrie’s Flight was obtained from the raid boss <Ride of the Valkyries>, which involved a lot of saltiness from the melee-centric party that was the BDC. It has a long, silver blade inscribed with Norse runes, and a shaft of red wood. When swung, it glows with a radiant force, tracing afterimages in the air. When wielded, it grants the user <Boon of the Valkyrie>, increasing their AGI by one rank, and also gives them the skill of <Valkyrie Wings>, allowing them to fly freely for ten minutes, with a three hour cooldown.

There’s a rumor in the game that there is a hidden mechanic within Valkyrie’s Flight, but, as it is, most people trade it off for lvl 80 Production-class weapons after they cap. Well, flying around is still fun.

Inventory

<Guitar>
“A musical instrument that Bards can use.”
Multiple Use
One of the few non-consumable items that Reissten has, the Guitar is used more to accentuate his singing than anything else. He’s not a great guitarist, but his voice more than makes up for that.

Jarvoff

IGN: Jarvoff (Jarv is fine)

Name: Sean O’Connor

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Personality:
Sean is generally pretty easy going and laid back. He’s not keen on drama or personal conflict, often finds himself trying to calm people down when their tempers get the best of them. He’s sociable and fun loving, but doesn’t easily form close relationships. He’s slow to anger, but when he does, it’s hard to calm him down, and he becomes increasingly controlling and bad tempered.

---
History: While Sean was born in the US, he’s grown up all over the world, moving from place to place as his diplomat parents received new postings. Their most recent posting was 4 years in Sweden. After spending all of highschool in the country, Sean decided to stay behind and attend university there when his parents returned to the US. He’s currently in his second year of university as a sociology major.

Sean has been playing Elder Tale for about 5 years. He’s leveled a few characters to 90, but mainly focused on three of them; Assasin Jarvyou, Druid Jarvit, and Paladin Jarvoff. Jarvit was definitely his best character, geared with a phantasmal weapon and high end ancient gear, maxed out in blacksmithing with access to rare schematics, etc. Unfortunately, when the Apocalypse happened, Sean happened to be playing as Jarvoff. As Jarvit, Sean was an exceptional healer, highly regarded in his small guild and a number of other guilds they worked with. Jarvoff, on the other hand, could at best be described as a “slightly better than average” tank.

Sean initially played Elder Tale alone, occasionally joining then leaving various guilds until he found a good fit in Millenius, a small guild with only 6 regular members. They became good friends and skilled players, and would join up with other small guilds to regularly defeat raid bosses. They were never the first to defeat new bosses when expansions came out, and none of them were famous on the server, but anyone who ever ran with them agreed they were very good players.

Jarvoff is Sean’s newest character, only a year old, and his only serious attempt at tanking. He is proficient in the essentials; he knows when and where to best use his skills, and can easily keep monsters attacking him and away from his companions. However, he has difficulty with tanking strategies in raids. After spending so much time as a healer, it’s hard to break that mindset, and Jarvoff is often distracted by what others are doing. This can cause him to respond slowly, often meaning he takes more damage than he should.

At the time of the Apocalypse, Jarvoff was the only member of Millenius online. Jarvoff is a Lieutenant in the guild, and can access its bank and recruit new members. But without its Guild Master, Jarvoff cannot alter permissions, promote anyone past Initiate, or alter the Guild Hall. Millenius will have to be abandoned, and Jarvoff will have to find a new guild.

In-game Information

Gender:Male

Race:Wolf Fang

Class: Paladin

Class Level: 90

Subclass: Border Patrol

Subclass Level: 90

Guild: Millenius. Only member of his guild online when the Apocalypse happened, likely to abandon it soon.

Build:
HP tank. A fairly standard build for Paladins focused on maximizing HP. A patch half way through the previous expansion popularized a more complex mitigation build, but Jarvoff has stubbornly stuck with the simpler HP build. Syncs well with heals over time and burst healing, less well with buffs and shields. Wolf Fang is a useful race for Paladins because the strength boost translates into higher damage and aggro, as well as bonus HP. Border Patrol also synergizes well, with a passive that increases defence for every friendly player nearby, or increases damage when alone.

Spells/Skills:

Synergy: Passive. Wisdom stat provides a bonus to healing received from all sources instead of just self-heals

Sacred Ground: Everyone’s favourite Paladin ability. Creates a medium sized area of sacred ground. Increases the defence of all players in its radius. Healers in the radius gain a boost to their healing spells power.

Furious Charge: Engage Ace move. The Paladin rapidly charges the targeted enemy, striking them with their weapon, dealing medium damage and generating a high amount of threat. The attack can chain to nearby enemies, dealing more damage and generating more threat with each hit.

Unbowed: The Paladin gains a temporary speed boost, breaking any crowd control effects and rendering them immune to further CC for the duration.

Protect the Weak: The Paladin leaps to the targeted ally, granting them temporary bonus damage resistance and lowering their threat.

Unbroken: For a short duration, the Paladin’s health cannot fall below 30%. Very long cooldown.

GET OVER HERE!: The Paladin throws a hammer of light at the target enemy, which hooks them and pulls them back to the Paladin, unless they are immune to crowd control.

Provoke: A basic, single target taunt that forces the target to attack the Paladin.

Warcry: A basic AOE taunt that forces multiple targets in the area to attack the Paladin.

Condemn: The Paladin draws in holy power, slowing enemies in an area around him. After a few seconds, the holy power explodes outwards, dealing damage, and briefly stunning enemies caught in its radius. Generates a high amount of threat.

Heavenly Bolt Ace move. Can only be used on slowed or stunned targets. A bolt of heavenly lightning strikes the target, then arcs to other nearby enemies, dealing damage and generating threat. For each target affected, the paladin gains a stack of Divine Intervention, causing the next attack to heal the paladin for 50% of its damage. However, also gains the Fixated debuff, making them unable to switch away from the initial target. The debuff expires after a time, or as soon as the target is killed.

Endure: Temporarily boosts the Paladin’s maximum HP by 30%. Medium cooldown.

Sanctify: Grants 5 charges of Sanctify. The Paladin can reactivate the ability to consume a charge which deals damage to the target and heals themself for 10% of their maximum health. Long cooldown.

Equipment:
<Deez Nuts>
Haha suck it noob
High end production tier plate armor, forged by Sean’s other character Jarvit and sent to Jarvoff via in game mail. With Jarvit no longer accessible, the custom name of this armor can not be changed. Grants bonus HP and STR. Grants an additional charge of Sanctify.

Various mid level production tier stuff for boots, greaves, gauntlets etc.

Weapons:
<Balance of Judgement>
No justice without temperance
Ancient tier two handed greatsword. Boosts STR and HP. Increases the duration of Unbroken

Inventory:
<American Beer> x 50
The best type.
Consumable
Gives the "Tipsy" buff, increasing STR, LUCK, DEF and WIS at the cost of INT, AGI and EVA. Useful item for Paladins, as it grants bonuses to all their useful stats and detracts only from their useless ones.

<Dewback Mount> x 4 (Charcoal, Jungle, Inferno, and Highland variants)
The only good thing to come out of the remastered edition
Mount
A somewhat rare mount, Dewbacks are squat, quadrapedal reptiles. Jarvoff has unlocked all 4 colour variations, something he is quite proud of.

<Assorted crafting materials>
Jarvoff has a few high tier crafting materials on hand, originally intended to be sent to Jarvit and made into things.

<Thriller Dance>
Cause this is Thriller...
Dance
An animation command that lets the user flawlessly perform the iconic dance.

<Glitter Bomb>
Happy Anniversary!
Cosmetic effect
An anniversary gift that was given for free to all players at the launch of the previous expansion. Can be thrown at another user to cause glitter to rain down on them for a time. Immensely popular when it came out, most players quickly tired of it. A few, however, hold on to it for the lulz.

<Assorted Inventory Clutter>
Some potions, bits of jewelry, a few alternative pieces of gear, some cosmetic items; the usual array of random crap that any player tends to accumulate in their inventory, "in case they need it"

Character Theme

---

Name:
Alec Codsworth

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Personality:
In game, Alec fashions himself as an adventurous intellectual of sorts. While he does enjoy dungeon diving and raid parties, he finds a great deal of pleasure working away on potions and reading up on various guides for the game even if they aren't directly useful to him. This has lead him to become a teacher of sorts, although he does sometimes come off as arrogant. He is still quite amicable however, as long as you get past the snark and don't crash in on him while he's busy working.

---

History:

Born on Hollow's Eve, Alec was born in Cambridge, England to a military family. His mother a nurse and his father part of the Royal Rifles, his family often moved between the different military bases of NATO counties, leaving the young Alec without a constant source of friends. He did well in school and found favorite to the sciences like biology and chemistry, but was always lonely.

However, when he was in middle school, he discovered a digital world which friends would never say "good bye", Elder Tale. He spent a great deal of time in the game, his parents accepting it as it allowed him to contact the old friends who played the game.

He had always preferred PvE over PvP or raids, leading him to be a level 30 herbalist when he was only a level 10. Such had caught the attention of a small time production guild called <Sanctum>. Alec would stay with the guild, enjoying the friendships and abundance of materials it provided until he was level 70 and had long since maxed out his subclass. Around that time, the guild had began to fade away, noticing the inevitable death of <Sanctum>, Alec left to forge his own path, leaving in his wake stories of perhaps one of the best Herbalists in Western Europe.

Perhaps the most famous account of him in combat was him equipping his potions like throwing weapons and hitting allies with them to heal on the front lines during the <Gilded Throne of Bones> raid. He was brought on as a dodge tank and a backline healer. It was going well until the final raid boss where several healers were down and people where taking injuries faster than could be healed. Despite the Paladin class not even being able to use throwing weapons, Alec dashed out with a hand full of potions and begain to throw the potions. Despite the unorthodoxy of this practice, proved effective none the less and let the team stay up long enough for back up healers to arrive.

Now in college and almost at the max level, Alec had been tracking all the hype of the next expansion but more importantly the newest crafting mechanics to crafting. On the eve of the release, he had been grinding away for new armor but to no avail. Deciding that he had to sleep, he went to bed and closed his eyes. When he woke and opened his eyes, he found he wasn't in the real world, instead he was introduced to a pixel dream of the world he once knew.

Build:
Light armor, high agility, 1 handed build meant to be a dodge tank with less of a focus on Ace Moves and more of a focus on hate control. While not necessarily part of the build, Alec will literally throw potions at people instead of having them drink it in mid-combat stating that "it should work just as well".

---

Spells/Skills:
<Purge>
Alec stabs the ground and sends out a shockwave of light. Anything caught in it takes additional fire damage and dark, unholy and undead monsters take huge damage and have a chance of being instantly killed. Despite its long CD, its a useful crowd control attack.

<Exodus>
Alec's AGI and EVA are given incredible boosts as is his stamina but he gains the permeant <Exile from Eden> debuff which means he cannot be healed nor can he regen anything.

<Choir Bells>
Summons forth a set of loud bells above Alec which generates huge amounts of hate. The sounds aggravates monsters so much that they are given buffs when attacking Alec but they are stunned if they are hit by Alec.

<Divine Wings>
A movement skill which allows Alec to jump higher and further and grants him a pair of wings which to glide with. Useful as one might expect.

<Noble End>
Only available if Alec has less than 50% HP, activation of this skills turns him into a literal monster. His speed and attack go insane but his health rapidly drains and he takes 5 times as much damage from attacks.

<Inquisition>
Passive skill which allows Alec to see enemy weak points and stats, grants him the ability to mark targets and makes them take extra damage from attacks but also not only draws hate from the target, but nearby enemies.

<Knight of Zero>
Alec's only real "Ace Move". Upon activation, Alec preforms a devastating and fast combo in a straight line, badly hurting if not outright killing things in its way. Although he cannot be killed mid-skill, he can take damage and is stunned at the end in a cool pose.

<Sir Talvr's Courage>
A passive move granted by his sword, Alec is less affected by mind based attacks and generates more hate per hit/skill.

---

Equipment:
<Traveori's Magical Exploration Bag>
"A weathered but roomy bag that has seen cold mountain peaks to lusih forest greens and everywhere in between."
Magical Class
A reward for the quest <Traveori's Rest>, the bag has seen many a places and adventures. Despite its age, it is a sturdy and strong magical bag which has some extra room but also gives small bonuses against elemental damage and slow effects. Most the time it contains herbalist ingredients kept in small, organized satchels.

<Clerical Minister Gloves>
"Pristine white gloves worn by high officials and nobles."
Production Class
Long gloves that Scantus bought for his work as they give small bonuses to crafted items. No longer a pristine white, the gloves are forever stained with herbal scents and have traces of dirt and age on them.

<Lordavicci Amulet>
A rare silver and sapphire neckless worn by the great polymath Lordavicci. Who ever wears it will receive supernatural guidance from the voice of the "Gentleman of Scholars" to advance their own understandings.
Artifact Class
A delicately crafted and engraved piece of jewelry which Alec had won in a lucky bet. It increases his WIS and less INT but allows the wearer to rapidly gain xp for their subclass. Seems to have an effect on Lander NPCs, especially those who deal in jewelry or high quality items.

---

Weapons:
<Tanlladwyr, the Sword of Sir Talvr's Courage>
"A beautifully crafted sword that is surprisingly light for its size. Said to be the sword of the great singing swordsman Talvr whose very blood is imbued in the metal of the sword."
Artifact Class
Made of silversteel and gold that glows like the basking sunlight, the weapon shimmers brightly in all light levels. Despite its beautiful appearance, its actually supposed to be a sword mean for Bards, giving boasts to song duration. Being a Paladin, Alec only finds the boost in strength to be helpful as well as the bonus damage against unholy and dark enemies. The passive skill, <Sir Talvr's Courage> is helpful though.

---

Inventory:
<Rewrite> x 1
"Death is not the end, but a chapter of a story. Shall we continue this tale then?"
Phantasmal Class/Multiple Uses
A special version of a <Herbalist Kit>, this unique variation greatly increase the potency of created potions. Of course, it takes longer to create them as one must also do the ritual needed for the supped up potions. This kit is the only way to obtain the <Blessed Divine Potion of Grail>.

<Blessed Divine Potion of Grail> x 1
"Of course its black magic, how else do you think you came back from the dead?"
Consumable
The rare potion made using <Rewrite>. It is a very complex potion needing very precise measurements and a long ritual involving a full moon. The vial is said to be so strong that it can even revive dead players right up to full HP and Mana. Given the circumstances and mastery needed, even Alec can only make a small batch at a time, of which most fail anyways.

<Herbalist Guide>
"Think of it as a textbook you write for yourself."
Multiple Uses
A blank notebook used to take notes in, Alec has filled his with doodles and notes effectively turning it into a field guide.

<Frozen Spider Silk Whistle>
Affectionately knowns as the "Frozen Spindly Bastards", these creatures travel to where no one can go or dares to.
Multiple Uses
A whistle for Alec's mouth, a <Giant Snow Spider>. Despite its dangerous and otherwise un-cuddly look, Alec finds it incredibly useful as it may not be as fast as other mounts nor carry as much, but it can climb otherwise impossible obstacles and has a passive <Fear> effect which causes enemies to be weaker and have NPC monsters just run away. After the Catastrophe, its unknown how much of it is due to its appearance and how much is due to the effect.

IGN:
Intolerance

Name:
Ilya Sokolov

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Personality:
- Aggressive
- Outgoing
- Hotheaded

History:
A Russian student studying in England. Ilya has been playing Elder Tale for about ten years now, starting at the age of twelve. Back in Russia, he played on the Russian server, but he created Intolerance four years ago on the Western Europe when he moved to England for university, mainly because he wasn't satisfied with his old character at the time and wanted to start anew. Just for shits and giggles, he chose to make a female dwarf as his avatar, but didn't use a voice modulator. Thus, whenever this cute little loli opened her mouth, a deep, unmistakably male Russian accent came out.

A few months down the line, he met Reissten, and a beautiful friendship began to form as the BDC was created. A friendship consisting mostly of ganking famous streamers and Assassins, which Reissten didn't like for whatever reason.

Six months ago, thirteen members of the BDC donned normal level 10 equipment and managed to eke out a victory against a notable Elder Tale streamer that was decked out in multiple pieces of Phantasmal equipment. The entire battle was recorded and put on Youtube, but of particular note were the last few moments of the battle, where Intolerance managed to perfect parry an entire Assassin combo before retaliating with an Ace Move to take the win.

Eventually, a few members of the guild wanted to delve into PvE for a bit, and Intolerance was dragged along for the ride. Fortunately for him, it was during a limited-time event raid that he looted a Phantasmal-class armor. With his armor situation secure for the moment, Intolerance used his free time to powergrind his Swordsmith subclass, obsessed with creating the perfect weapon to match his armor. It was too bad for him that he'd started grinding his subclass too late, as he'd only managed to reach level 85 in it when the expansion dropped.

Guild
<BDC>
A guild started by Intolerance's friend Reissten. At first, Intolerance only joined both to support his friend and to get the benefits of being in a guild, but he soon developed the idea of going after certain streamers that annoyed him. To his delight, the rest of the BDC latched onto the idea, and they soon developed into a PK guild that raided on the side for loot.

Build:
Royal Guard
A highly offensive, PvP focused Paladin build that relies almost solely on Ace Moves. Its only defensive ability is the Perfect Parry skill, trusting in raw stats to tank through hits it can't parry. Playing this build is akin to playing a fighting game, relying on reads and quick reactions to stay alive while delivering a heavy combo-based offense.

In PvE, this build is serviceable as a main tank fighting a single boss monster, generating aggro through sheer damage. However, in both PvE and PvP, the Royal Guard build has a hard time against opponents that use status effects, as those are unparryable.

Spells/Skills:
Perfect Parry - A defensive Ace Move. If activated at the instant an attack hits Intolerance, she takes no damage from the blow. Along with physical skills, direct damage magical attacks can also be parried. However, if the parry isn't activated at the exact moment of an attack's impact, Intolerance is left vulnerable by the skill's massive end lag, which offsets its lack of a cooldown.

Eye for an Eye - An Ace Move that can only be activated by chaining into it from a successful Perfect Parry. Riposte after a parry with a single, mighty stroke that does massive damage. Intolerance is locked into the attack animation upon performing it, and the animation takes a comparatively long time to wind down. Has a long cooldown to the point where it can generally only be used twice in an average encounter.

Tempest Sweep - Cone-shaped AoE Ace Move. Sweep your weapon in front of you, knocking back and stunning any enemy hit for a brief moment. Can be used twice at best during a typical fight.

Earth Breaker - Ranged Ace Move. Slam your weapon into the ground with massive force, creating a shockwave that rushes towards your opponent. Deals additional Earth elemental damage. Intolerance is unable to move until the shockwave reaches its endpoint.

Final Storm - Single-target, execution Ace Move. Deal a series of combo slashes with your weapon, ending with a titantic downward smash for massive damage. Immense cooldown, will only be used once per fight.

Provoke - Temorarily forces an opponent to target you. Only taken by Intolerance because his guildmates forced him to.

IGN:
Ivy

Name:
“I’m actually one of those people that value privacy on the internet.”

Age:
“Sounding like a broken record isn’t my thing, so I’ll say I’m at least of drinking age in the UK.”

Gender:
”What was that internet acronym again? G.I.R.L.?”

Personality:

“So here’s the thing, I’m not one of those assholes that crafts their own personality for things online. Surprising, right? Well, I’ve got nothing much to hide, unless you count the time I didn’t read the EULA and terms of service for this game. Yeah, does anybody read that?

Well funnily enough, I don’t really play this game for an escape or anything like that. I started playing for the social factor, but I guess I’ll talk more about that later. Anyway, this is more of a hobby thing for me, and the different environment makes it fun for me to dick around and do sandbox-y things. Call me a casual, but I really dig the whole housing and property mechanics of this game. Decorating and trading decorations is the true endgame.

That doesn’t mean I don’t like PvE or PvP content though. But Christ, some of the other players are really toxic or uptight about things. It makes me glad I found a pretty decent guild and stuck with it.”

History:

“You probably know what I’m going to say about my past. I will say though, I’m British, and I do plan on going to culinary school. That was pretty on track for me, at least up until now. But we’re not here to talk about my culinary accomplishments, since everything I make tastes like mush or stale cardboard now anyway.

I’ve been playing since the beginning of secondary school, so basically when I was a little shit. As it happened, my older brother gave me the account he got from launch; that’s why I have such a fancy three-letter name. I don’t really remember much about when I was new; it was probably likely that my character died a lot. Probably to stupid things like mice and low-level, twenty second cast time AOEs. I ended up getting fairly on top of things though, and I’d be at level cap pretty quickly after the release of a new expansion pack.

For the most part, I’ve been in-and-out of various guilds, mostly raiding getups, for various reasons. Sometimes they didn’t click. Occasionally, core members would go inactive and the place would fall apart, or on one occasion, there was a spectacular drama that imploded the guild in one day. But all’s good, I made friends, and all my enemies are banned.

As things were, most of the friends I made ended up creating a guild called BDC, started by an androgynous looking kid named Reisstan. I’ve been rolling with them since, and it’s done pretty well for me.”

Build:
Fast Weapon Attack Specialization.

Like a certain other shield-specializing healing class in a similar MMO, Ivy's specialization focuses on exceptionally high DPS output from the healer. More specifically, she uses a sword as a mainhand, and in a very un-magelike manner, goes stabby on somebody’s face in before they can deal a significant amount of damage to her HP pool. As such, the bulk of her regular healing is done in significant amounts of buffing beforehand, or in between lulls in battle.

Spells/Skills:

Cleanse – Basic healing spell.

Sanitize – Removes a single debuff on a target.

Divine Nullification – A long cast spell that creates an invisible barrier for each party member. It takes half a minute to get done, but provides mitigation for 15% of a person’s health and lasts an hour.

Reflective Mitigation – Creates a powerful barrier around the target that counters a single attack and debuffs the attacker of the target's defense for 7%.

Destructive Mitigation – Takes all shields on the caster and fires the conserved energy at a target for the full mitigative potency.

Soul's Reserve - Takes all Shields on target and turns them into a heal for the shielded value.

Emergency Recovery – Shields target for 100% of health, and heals for 50%. Instant cast, but has a one day cooldown.

Emergency Cast – The next skill or spell only takes one second to perform. Takes an hour to cooldown.

Purification Barrier – Simple and dirty 10% damage reduction on a target.

Protective Barrier – Damage mitigation up to 10% on a target.

Degeneration – Reduces an enemy target’s attack and defense by 10% over the course of a minute.

Decisive Exorcism – A slow to cast AOE group heal.

Line Break – The one skill that doesn’t belong to the exorcist skillset. Conveniently enough, it meshes with her sword specialization; it’s a fast jump with a piercing fall. It has a 25% chance of breaking a guard and dealing double damage.

Equipment:

<Tabard of the Unforgotten>
“A sleeved cloth coat made for the last of the Alv royalty, this tabard has withstood the test of time through the ages.”
Artifact-class Robes

A piece of level 85 healing gear. It provides a substantial boost to spellspeed, in addition to providing a base 5% damage mitigation to the party with the wearer of this armor.

Weapons:

<Duelist Archel’s Colichemarde>
“An exceptionally light rapier wielded by the Duelist Archel. It is said to have been the fastest blade in all of Eureddo.”
Phantasmal-class Rapier

A level 85 sword that grants a large addition to agility and evasion. It’s very light and seems to have the weight of an aluminum rod. On hit, it has a 33% chance of slowing an enemy's agility or evasion.

<Forged Steel Frying Pan>
“Created using metals meant for broadswords and heavy weapons, this kitchen tool is unnecessarily strong.”
Production-class

Level 70 one-handed weapon that serves nothing more as a gag joke. It does deal damage though.

Inventory:

<Ivy’s House Keys>
“Keys to an adventurer’s house.”
Allows access to your hard-earned abode.

<Field Cooking Set>
"Necessities for the every-day chef on the road."

Basic cooking equipment that allows for cooking amenities on the go.

Name:
Jake Williams

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

Personality:
Exasperated most of the time. Seems to get along with people well enough and acts like a pessimist but doesn't believe a word he says. Also likes to give people hard time but hates it when people get offended. Its just a game right? Is rather forgetful of things he doesn't particularly care about. Once you get past his thorny exterior, he's still pretty thorny. He doesn't give off the impression of being lazy but that's just because of a bet he made with himself to play this ridiculous game as best he could.

History:
Jake was born and raised in the gold old U S of A, specifically in a rainy corner known as Florida. His family made a living and not much more than that but he was content with it. He grew up not quite a nerd, not quite a jock, double dipping so to speak. He found his way into a nice group of friends that hung out every now then, watching movies and getting into trouble. Senior year rolled around faster than you could blink and Elder Tales was all the rage, even in their small little town.

Of course Jake couldn't afford it but one of his friends talked about nothing but the game. Eventually Jake complained stating that it was indeed all he talked about. His friend said that it was just that great. Jake refuted the statement. A bet was made, his friend would get him the game, but Jake would have to play the character that his friend set up. Thinking that there was no downside and he got a free game, Jake readily accepted. He spent a few nights reading up on the game to prepare for its arrival and felt ready to jump right into things.

What he found was appalling even to his noobish knowledge of the game. First off his avatar was female, second it was a Race of Ritual with the class of Guardain. Upon further inspection he found that his subclass was none other than dancer. In other words he was frankenstien. And to put icing on the cake his name was literally oxymoron. Speechless for several minutes Jake stared at his character while his friend collapsed in laughter.

Jake smiled and said, "Challenge accepted." His friend quickly assured him it was just a joke and Jake could play whatever he wanted but Jake refused. He leapt into the game with a passion, and quickly died to a tutorial mission. Undeterred he slowly made his way through the game, figuring out how to make this mess of a character work. He never did find a guild, deeming it as a cop-out.

In-game Information

Gender: Female

Race: Race of Ritual

Class: Guardian

Class Level: 30

Subclass: Dancer

Subclass Level: 60

Guild: N/A

Build:
Um, I don't have a name for this yet, still figuring it all out. Basically I use Race of Ritual's insane magic power to fuel my guardian abilities and my dancing to fill in the gaps. It kinda works?

Spells/Skills:

• Cool Defense- Toggle skill; the Guardian taps into their mana and creates an additional line of defense between them and the opponent's attacks. For every blow that the target lands on the guardian, a small amount will be nullified. This defense is made all the more apparent when it comes to weak multiple-strike attacks. The Guardian's MP is slowly sapped as this skill remains active.
• Covering- Despite a Warrior class's bulky appearance, their agility in the midst of battle can sometimes be very surprising. When an ally is about to be targeted by an attack, this skill allows the character to switch places with the target and take the force of the attack. It can also be activated in response to an area of effect attack, taking all the damage from affected party members onto oneself. Obviously, as good as the character's reflexes may be, this requires that the ally be in very close proximity. This skill has a maximum range of 3 meters, an animation time of 1 second, and a cooldown of 15 seconds.
• Shield Swing- A movement/shield skill. Rush at your enemies with your shield raised, hitting them and pushing them back.
• Rearmament- A skill used for maintaining defense, even when one's equipment is heavily damaged or unarmed. Upon the activation of this skill, the Guardian creates a shield from pure mana. The shield generated by this skill takes the default appearance of a typical kite shield, although more MP can be spent to change the shield's appearance. Shields generated from this skill are considered to have an equipment level equal to the Guardian's level. Shields generated by this skill may last up to a full minute, dispersing into mana after it expires or breaks. This skill has a casting time of 2 seconds and a cooldown of 70 seconds.
• Rune of Warding- A low cooldown spell that halves damage from the next attack, taking more than 10% of your HP in damage refreshes the cooldown.
• Turn Tables- A once a day ability it works as advertised. The next two attacks instead of dealing damage heal Ox for what they would've dealt.
• Go away or I shall mock you again!- Any attack that has its damage reduced by one of Ox's abilities causes Ox generates a huge amount of threat.
• Get Thee To a Nunnery- A simple verbal taunt to force any nearby enemies to attack Ox.
• Time of Need- Ox's mana regen, health regen, and defensive stats increase proportionally to his missing HP. Day cooldown
• Quick Swap-A skill that facilitates the quick switching of equipment from the user's equipment to their inventory. While many characters use quick slots in order to swap out their weapons, this requires a manual action. The use of Quick Swap does this exchange automatically. This switching can only be done with two equipment sets at a time, both of which are registered prior to the start of battle. When Quick Swap is used, the current equipment set will be swapped out to the other set designated by the skill. Due to the nature of this skill, it is best used by characters of the Weapon Specialist classes. This skill has an animation time of 1 second. Its cooldown if used by a Weapon Specialist class is 10 seconds which increases to 20 seconds if used by any other class.
• Graceful Dance- Dodge any attacks aimed at you for a brief period of time lowering the defenses of any target that tries to attack you and taunting all nearby enemies. Can only be used once per fight.
• Power Dance- A dance that involves a lot of stomping, it increases the damage of any nearby allies for a long period of time.

Equipment:

Earring of Life
Production-class
A fancy little trinket that provides not actual stats but does provide a helpful effect, it allows the user to survive one otherwise fatal hit. In order to recharge a certain amount of kills are required in addition to a one day cool down.

Other low class magical gear that simply enhances his unique blend of stats. Plate Amour and Tower Shield/ Dancing gear(light cloth that increases the effectiveness of dances and the speed of them)

Weapons:

Longsword

Inventory:
Several basic mana and HP potions.
Teleport Scroll- One time use teleports to last town visited, two second cast time.

Aedy

"Generating more Hate than Donald Trump at a Feminist Convention."

In-game Name:
Aednat

Name:
"Nope. Most people just go like - 'oh after the actress?' There are more people in the world than actresses, numbskulls."

Age:
"What's the date again? Um... like 22 or something?"

Gender:
"I'm not being coerced into society's binary view on gen- Hah! Imagine if I was one of those guys; that shit is way too progressive for me! Anyways, girl - I guess?"

Personality:
"Hah! Je m'appelle Aed-y and I'm the biggest shithead in Eureddo! Why else would you run a combat control mage other than pissing off hardcore PvPers, after all?

Being perfectly honest here - games are for escaping reality so why the hell would you play an upstanding member of society when you could be a maniacal pirate overlord? Games have always been about having fun to me and there's nothing more fun than annoying other people. Of course, I never let it go too far - wouldn't want anyone to get hurt now, would we?

I'd like to think I'm smart. Maybe in real life I'm quite brainy, but in here, I'm an unpredictable mess. I guess that's why I stand out here - in a world where people are so focused on numbers and stats, they never really see it coming. People always have a plan in mind; maybe they're gonna go out and gather some resources or run a dungeon or somethin' but it's always there, it's always planned. Me? I couldn't give a flying shit quenched from the holy buttcheeks of God himself. That's what makes me dangerous, I guess? Or it could be that I put little to no value in anything I have.

I have no doubt that if I wasn't playing Elder Tale, I'd be an alcoholic or a drug-addict or something. It's an escape and it's a bloody good one at that. When the going gets tough, I think I'm pretty stubborn yet loyal. There's a fine line you tread when you play a game that has become someone's entire life and I've never went out of my way to permanently harm someone."

History:
"Fuck. Well, my life is practically a walking, talking cliche that comes with batteries included. Let's see, where does one start? I was born on the merry isle of Ireland, or more appropriately, the shitty Northern part of it that everyone forgets due to its general shittyness. I never really knew my dad, he was always away on business or whatever. He got me cool shit from America at Christmas and birthdays though - I guess that was alright? My mum? Yeah, she was the one I actually liked. We clashed a lot; probably because I seemed to have more in common with her than with my dad - we were both stubborn as high-hell. When we weren't fighting, we got on great.

Anyways, roll on a few years and mum kicks the bucket. Dad grieved for a few months then this hot, little russian model practically glued herself to him and low and behold, he followed his dick instead of his head. Dad never really knew me so I guess the Russian bitch held more influence than I did because the house was sold, they bought some luxury yacht and little old me was sent to boarding school in England.

It was one of those places where brains didn't matter an awful lot - as long as your daddy was rich or was a nobleman, you got on amicably. For me? It was fucking dreadful. Having to spend your entire daily life with a bunch of English cunts who make you wish that Communism actually spread across Europe is less than pleasant. Thankfully, as it goes, not all of the populous of that boarding school were twats that gravitated between this fad and that. There were nerds and me, with my almost incomprehensible accent and general outlandishness, fitted in amongst them with ease.

It was with those guys that I discovered Elder Tale. We were all shit-tier at the start but we started early so we got the ropes pretty quickly. The game was immense in scope and had a type of world that you could just lose yourself in for days at a time. We were obsessed and we climbed in no time at all. Despite running multiple subclasses, we decided to all switch to the sailor subclass for the upcoming Silver Odyssey expansion. Once we maxed it, we bought a ship and formed the Booty Hunters guild. After that? Well, we started generating some waves - destroying merchant ships, raiding seaside towns for the spoils of war! We were really quite infamous - merchants even began to hire combat guilds to protect their ships but combat guilds weren't used to fighting on the high seas.

They were fun times but eventually, everyone just kinda moved on. About half of the original guild stayed on and although we occasionally did stuff together, the guild was all but inactive. When the Catastrophe hit, there was only me and another member on and what's a captain without her crew, right?

"Not much left of em now, eh? I guess our infamy will still live on as those guys who took a small mechanic in the game and made it into a very big headache for the economy! Yar!"

Build:
Mobile Combat Control Mage
Typically, Sorcerers are placed as far from the frontlines as physically possible due to their glass-cannon nature. However, that's not the role that was set in stone for them. Aedy priorities her build around a skill called Close Burst which is a toggle skill that allows the user to sacrifice the long range of the sorcerer in return for a massive increase of Magic Attack. However, she still has horrible defences and she can't stay for long so her abilities are all about AoE. Between the cooldowns of these spells, Aedy uses mobility spells to jump in and out of the frey alongside abilities that keep enemies away. It's completely chaotic but there's a rush to it that being a clear-cut sorcerer just can't provide. If she gets in a really bad situation, she uses an assassin stealth skill which she randomly got. However, due to its massive cooldown, its a poor fall-back.

Spells/Skills:

<Close Burst>
Toggle, sacrifices range to greatly increase your Magic Attack.

<Orb of Lava>
A ranged Fire-element magic that hurls a fist-sized orb of lava onto enemies. This lava ball bounces across enemy targets, dealing damage on impact. Since this skill if Fire-based, this is very effective against enemies weak against fire. One well-known trait of this skill is that it does not affect allies during combat, making it a popular skill among players.

<Freezing Liner>
An area-of-effect attack spell that unleashes a torrent of chilling frost in a straight line, washing away opponents with Ice-element magic. Aside for its attack power, this skill is also known for its effect of "washing away enemies 'downstream'". This ability to push away mobs that try to approach the user gives it various uses aside from acting as a defensive move in combat.

<Energy Fraction>
Automatically changes your Magic Attack's element to the target's weakness.

<Lightning Chamber>
A single-target, high damage lightning spell. Summons a dazzling array of bluish purple lightning shaped like a pentagram, capturing and dealing damage to enemies inside. This skill is considered to be a top class spell among ones in the Sorcerer's arsenal, and its effect is befitting of its title. On the other hand, this skill has a long reuse time and generates large amounts of Hate, so it is often used when enemy threats have been pinpointed.

<Blink>
Short range teleport, but inaccurate.

<Rook Slider>
Long range teleport. Only works in a straight line and there must be no objects between you and your destination.

<Singularity>
Special Skill. Summons a black hole that ignores Defense. Often used as a boss-killer.

<Serpent Bolt>
A Lightning-property magic that shoots forth a bolt of bluish-purple lightning. Although it is categorized as a single-target skill, it's ability to break apart and hit enemies near the initial target makes it a pseudo-area-target skill. Serpent Bolt has a rather long reuse control time, but has a short casting time, making it a "quick cast" spell that many intermediate players prefer.

<Creep Shade>
Disregards enemies and terrain and moves while hidden. This is a reinforced stealth ability that is considered top class, it has many uses like surprise attack, reconnaissance, withdrawal and more. However it has a long cooldown, so it's not something that can be used often in one fight. When activated, the user sinks and disappears into their own shadow, and during movement you only see the effect of the shadow sliding

<Heavy Anchor Skill>
Binds you and the enemy together in close range. Neither of you will be able to move while the skill is active.

<Whirldwind>
Swipes away enemies surrounding the user with one's weapon. Its cost and damage is balanced, and is considered as the signature area-of-effect skill of Swashbucklers and a skill often used by most Swashbucklers. (Useless as she uses a Grimoire)

<Soul Possession>
Requirement: Servant Summon. A spell that allows the summoner to possess a Servant Summon and directly control its body. Stats and skills become those of the Servant's. The Summoner's original body is controlled with simple commands, as if it were a regular Summon Servant. (Useless.)

Equipment:

<Boots of this Six>
"Boots fashioned by the finest craftmens of the Alvs and sealed with the overwhelming magic of the Six Scrapped Princesses. These were gifted to the three couriers who carried their plans of war."
Phantasmal Class
These boots increase the wearer's movement speed by 15% but also possess the unique ability to remove all sounds of movement completely. Highly sought after by assassins, Aedy got them by random chance when she decided to hop on with a few people she met online and do a few raids. Increases AGI and EVA.

<Traditional Regalia>
"Traditional clothing of the ancient sorcerers, typically wore into battle."
Production Class
Slightly underpowered equipment for her level but they get the job done. These increase INT.

Weapons:

<Grimoire of the Buried Ones>
"Excavated from the deepest tombs in Eureddo, it's said that the tome will consume the souls of those who are not powerful enough to use it."
Ancient Class
Aedy got this as a drop to a dungeon that her guild repeated a bunch of times after hearing that there was a cool skeleton-pirate drop from it. It increases INT and AGI but also serves as a pretty handy weapon for bashing annoying players without actually doing damage to them.

Inventory:

<Dead Pirate King's Garb> 1
"In ancient times, sailors reported seeing ghost ships fading in and out of the fog, destroying whatever they come across. It was said that the Dead Pirate King was the most terrifying being in existence and petrified all who laid eyes on him."
Multiple use
This allows the user to transform their appearance into that of the Dead Pirate King. This doesn't increase any stats whatsoever but inflicts the 2spooky4me debuff on anyone that looks at you while wearing it.

Eclair

"Even if my heart is screaming, I... am not afraid."

In-game Name: Eclair

Name: Colette Rousseau

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Personality:
One's first impression upon partying with Eclair: courageous, devoted, noble and basically what you would describe a true knight. But that is a facade, a persona Colette created for herself as she ventures Elder Tale as Eclair. In reality, Colette is a frail, fragile, and easily shaken person. Despite this, she devotes herself to fulfilling responsibilities that she is capable of doing and is glad to be of assistance to people. During free time, she enjoys reading a book with a cup of tea and pastry, or going on adventures as a knight on Elder Tale.

---

History:
As a young French girl, Colette was a healthy and adventurous child with a fondness of exploring outdoors until a certain incident involving a school bus accident occurred. She and a number of students had survived with minor or major injuries while the rest lay cold upon pools of deep crimson, where the eyes of the young ones could reach. Colette, unfortunately, was one of them and this traumatic experience became the reason of her shaky nature.

While the injuries had not caused her any sort of disability, the French maiden's body grew weak and fragile. Being unable to explore the outdoors as she used to before the accident, Colette usually spent her time indoors, at home or at the library, reading all sorts of literary texts which caught her curious eyes. Most of the books which piqued her interest were adventurous fiction and history books. That was how Colette's obsession for knighthood sparked when she started reading about Jeanne D'Arc and her heroic achievements as a female leading knight.

Eventually when the blonde found Elder Tale, while searching for an adventurous game she could enjoy, she immediately created a holy knight modeled after her idol figure, Eclair. Before the Catastrophe, she studied library and information sciences in a university while working part time in the local library as a librarian and a storyteller to the young visitors, reading them adventurous stories any child could enjoy.
