[OOC] Mark of the Demons - A World Turned to Hell

[OldManWong]

Sorry it's so small.

[Lugubrious]

So I saw that you've started naming the types of the demons. If you're still looking, I'd like to recommend Keter for Class 4, Cambion for Class 3, and Fiend for Class 2.

[EthTenshi]

Beware my fellow role players, I'm making a cs.

[Laue]

Beware the slow death of an RP in it's infancy. Seriously, it's like people lost all interest in it.

[OldManWong]

I mean, I did make a post regarding Alicia that has yet to be answered.

[Laue]

Well I mean more people in general.

[Lugubrious]

Beware the slow death of an RP in it's infancy. Seriously, it's like people lost all interest in it.

@Laue

Nothing of the sort. We're waiting for this:

Lug said he'd post today, after that I'll have Susanna respond to Alicia and perhaps institute some form of blood event.

@Prince of Seraphs

I had expected it to come sooner, but not that it's not, I can do another thing myself in the meantime.

[6slyboy6]

Eyyyy people! I am jsut saying hi before making my character. I know already that all teh cool things are taken, even without looknig at the characters. I will make a wild guess. At least one person with a demon inside them or an item, or with demon blood, one elite fighter, one badass mage, one fully armored guy who is at least 2 meters, and one badass/funny ranger or rouge.

So I'll make a charcater according to these points, and if it overlaps with someone else just tell me :D

@6slyboy6

All of those are creepily spot on except for the last one. We lack a ranger/rouge type character.

[6slyboy6]

@Prince of Seraphs if you played as much DnD as me, you'd know that these are all must haves XD
Then i will make a rouge ;D

[Lady Seraphina]

And I thought I was being original with my semi-possessed character.

[6slyboy6]

@Prince of Seraphs I first laughed, then i realised you weren't sarcastic there. I mean no offense (get used to it with my character), but you can't show me many things I haven't seen before. Everyone likes to be demonised. I even wanted to make a charcater like yours before seeing yours :D

Edit: lol spellcheck much

[EthTenshi]

Actually, I changed my mind. I'm making a winged reaver, try to at least. Gotta break away hahaha

[Lady Seraphina]

Actually, I changed my mind. I'm making a winged reaver, try to at least. Gotta break away hahaha

@EthTenshi

You wanna explain to me what that is?

[6slyboy6]

So here is my character, hope ye all enjoy him :D
Edit: oh yeah I wanted to mention our amazing GM @Prince of Seraphs

Tobias Thane

Tobias Thane

AGE:
24

GENDER:
Boy

RACE:
Human

MARK OF THE DEMON:
Tiny pointy horns(or antlers, correct me there), pointy ears, and vampiric teeth. Black scribings on his back.

PROFESSION:
Thief

APPEARANCE:
Tobias has a completely average height, around 1.87 meters. He has a strong physique, and an almost perfect shape and proportion. Tobias wighs at 76 kilos( I actually know this in Imperial. That's 152 pounds). He has a strong chin, and and strong cheek bones, that bring out his vibrant red eyes. His facial expressions is stone cold like a murderer's by default, and his black hair is totally on point with that vibe.

He sticks with his ranger clothing he inherited from his dead father. From bottom to top, it is engraved leather boots, that go knee height. He waers brown trousers, that are held by a long silver belt that wraps around his waist multiple times. Below it is a set of green clothes that are attached to the trouser. A brown leather and and fur shirt is on his chest, covered up mostly by a grenn jacket, lined with silver strings. The jacket comes with a hood, long enough to hide his identity if needed, and always good enoguh to hide the fact that he is not completely normal. There is another belt going around his chest, hold in place his small tunic/poncho he wears. His arms are covered in belts (he must really like belts) that keep in place his bracers. The set ends with a long green fingerless glove.

His whole appearance is focused around silver lining and engravings, and most of his equipment is at least silver-like. That includes a neck bandana with small silver strings spiraling in front of his mouth, with teh usual silver linings.

PERSONALITY:
Tobias suffers mild personality issues. His mood can greatly affect his personality. However it always revolves around his cold and realistic, yet happy-to-go-lucky attitude. He is vary of new people, but usually acts natural. He sometimes acts crazy when with his friends, but only if teh situation requires so. That is when things become boring, or there is an oppurtinity for a good pun or joke. He is passive towards most things, until he is involved in them, and can ultimately become the leading charcater, from a quiet side character. However one thing never changes: he is an asshole who insult everyone slightly, but never to hurt them. Tobias sworned not to leave anyone behind of his companions.

BIO:
Tobias was born into a small farmer family. When his mother was pregnant with him, a demon, a vampire of some sort attacked his parents. His father fought teh demon off, but it left a scar on his mother's belly, which eventually corrupted his blood too, forming him ever so slightly into a vampire like human. He did not inherit any powers or needs (like blood sucking) but demonic resemblences started to show up, starting by his horn. His parents wanted to keep him, but eventually the townflok wanted to kill him, so his father took him into an abandoned ranger hideout in the forest. He learned to hunt, use knives and daggers, perfected his usage of bow, and set up traps for small animals. Tobias soon had a knowledge of nature, like none other, and practiced alchemy with the herbs around him. He learned to craft poisons and healing potions that sped up the healing of injuries, or helped with insomnia. His favourite thing however was to run around the forest, climbing hills and tress, leaping from branch to branch, scaling all the boulders.

But all good things must pass. When he was 14, he and his father were ambushed by bandits, and only by sacrificing himself his father managed to get an opening for him to escape. Since the time he spent in the forest alone, and rarely visited by his parents, his mother went to live in Veiron, to be a secretary at the castle (Not the today's secretary, but the one that acted as n assistant for higher ups). However her prestigious work didn't allow her to let him live at her house. So Tobias lived on teh streets and learned how to pickpocket. He could always escape from law enforcement thanks to his skills acquired in the wilderness. The streets toughened him, and slowly he gained his humanity back, his eyes fading black from the red. That is untilt eh demons arrived. He was visiting his mother when the hell hit earth, and they had to run like all teh others. His mother gave him a letter that his father left for him, before she was taken away by a demon. In the process Tobias inhaled the corrupted air, and the infested souls infused with his evil blood, growing him more inhumane than ever. Thanks only to this and his medicinal skills he survived, leaving a big black marking on his back as a reminder: never mess with the forces of evil.

Upon investigating the letter, he found the shocking truth: his father was responsible for his dealing with the devil. He was the one who arranged the demon to come by, just so he can save him from the purge to come. The letter didn't tell how his father knew of this, but it marked a location on an attached map, where he left his final gift. Tobias ventured out to their old homestead, and found a small hatch leading to a cellar. Magic infused lights and other freaks covered the place, which led to a few conclusions about his fathers real identity. But amongst all the mess was one thing of interest in particular: A magical suit made for him by his father, along with a bow hand made from ebony wood. He set out to find a new life amongst the mess, living off the chaos, thieving and doing all to survive. He soon was known as the Green Demon by the townsfolk.

EQUIPMENT:

• Short Sword: A small sword, conviently named "short sword" with a small green gemstone embed into the handle. if dark, the gemstones and the sword light up, illuminatig a an area in fron of him, even if it's in the holster. (I am not sure but I think it is around 1.7 inches. Not sure about imperial measurement >.< )
• Ebony Bow°: A hunting bow made of ebony wood, is a gift from Tobias's father. It is completely black, covered in silver and grenn straps in order to provide fricion, and make it better to handle. it is not big, around the size of a short bow, but it is recurved, which makes it compact but powerful.
• Magical Suit: No name for this one. A magical ranger suit from his dad, that turns out to do a few things. Hides his identity from any magic users that could discover his evil blood, grows with his size, and can rapair itself if cut. It helps contain his evil self, so he may never go amd from the corruption in his blood. It is what kept him sane all these years.
• Throwing daggers: He learned how to use throwing daggers and axes whilst he was in the forest. He is really accurate with them, and prefers to use them over the bow if possible, simply out of the reason that they are easier to access. He carries 6 with himself.
• Travel bag: More like a satchel, this contraption is something he found in his father's lab. A handy piece of equipment that can store more items that one can look out of it. It is really just a small brown bag with a silver string to hold it together, but if opened, one will see the huge space inside it.
• Basic rations, water, gauzes, ropes, herbs of various kinds for making potions, oil for lanterns

NOTES:
Father of Tobias from now on TF was a magic user, specialised in arcane enchantements. He held great pride in his work and was really good at it. However as a famous person comes many responsibilities. He lived in the castle, and he confronted the king many times. TF hated demons, and made a few devices that can find demonic activity. One such device revealed the king's dealing with the devil, and after asking the king about it, he learned of the horrible truth. However as expected this angered the king who wanted to kill him. He ran away from the castle and settled down, hiding as a farmer. He knew the end would come, so he arranged the meeting with the demon (not clarified a vampire, but you can probably imagine a similar demon) who attacked his wife, and then ran away. He intentionally took his son into the forest, so his abilities can grow without being interrupted by the normal people. He sewed the suit for his son, and made both the dagger and the bow for him. Years later a few bandits saw him entering his home with values, and then followed him into the forest once TF left. Once he met with his son, the bandits striked and killed him.

I think if you find a place with tons of enchanted items, you can safely assume your father was an ecnhanter, and a magic user. And that he knew that you will be in danger. Naturally his son is not gifted with any abilities, instead is corrupted by evil. that would make him weaker and weaker as he gets consumed by evil, or turn incredibly strong if exposed to a Djinn. The suit would both stop him from turning into an evil monster, and stop the corruption. The gemstone is the only thing special about the sword. It glows in the dark. The sword is just a sword. But it would be incredibly helpful for anyone who is about to face demons to have a purifying light.

[6slyboy6]

Might not be appropriate to post twice, but I have a question. Is our mark important? I have some inner knowledge on things, and what I think is

Spoiler

that you are fooled.

But joke aside, GM can we talk in a PM? I want to ask things without possibly spoiling the fun XD

@6slyboy6

First we don't have vampires, too many cliches, stigmas and contradictory lore surrounding them to be worth including but not make a main focus of the story.

Second the Mark of the Demons is supposed to be from proximity to Veiron on the day of the fall. Ordinary people who encounter demons (assuming they survive) don't come away with demonic marks.

Then there are a couple of things that were vague enough for me to be confused in the last couple of paragraphs. So his dad arranged for his pregnant wife to be attacked by a demon... because that would somehow save his unborn son from a cataclysm fourteen years in the future of which he should have had no knowledge? I'm not sure about the reasoning behind this.

"Magic infused lights and other freaks covered the place, which led to a few conclusions about his fathers real identity." Maybe I'm dense but I have no idea what these conclusions are supposed to be. He has a hidden lair covered in magical artifacts and stuff. There's many conclusions one could draw from that: He is secretly a Djinn demon in a human body who fell in love with a mortal (bit cliched but wouldn't be the first time), he's one of the only remaining arcane smiths capable of making magical artifacts, he killed people and stole magic from them. The list goes on. Overall I'm going to need some more clarity with regards to Tobias' father cause at the moment I'm not sure what to think of him.

Also magical artifacts, especially weapons such as the sword he has are incredibly rare so if you want him to have such a sword there needs to be an explanation of where he got it.

This isn't really related to the CS but Valeria has a thieves town a days journey north of where all our characters are at the moment called Ashbourne which my character was on her way towards if that holds any possibilities for you.

[6slyboy6]

@Prince of Seraphs oaky well I might need to explain after all. I got REAL lazy and tired halfway through and didn't want to bore you guys, but I'll explain the situation. So father of Tobias from now on TF was a magic user, specialised in arcane enchantements. He held great pride in his work and was really good at it. However as a famous person comes many responsibilities. He lived in the castle, and he confronted the king many times. TF hated demons, and made a few devices that can find demonic activity. One such device revealed the king's dealing with the devil, and after asking the king about it, he learned of the horrible truth. However as expected this angered the demons who wanted to kill him. He ran away from the castle and settled down, hiding as a farmer. He knew the end would come, so he arranged the meeting with the demon (not clarified a vampire, but you can probably imagine a similar demon) who attacked his wife, and then ran away. He intentionally took his son into the forest, so his abilities can grow without being interrupted by the normal people. He sewed the suit for his son, and amde both the dagger and the bow for him. Years later a few bandits saw him entering his home with values, and then followed him into the forest once TF left. The rest is in the RP.

Conculions. Yeah I was incredibly vauge there. I think if you find apalce with tons of enchanted items, you can safely assumee your father was an ecnhanter, and a magic user. And that he knew that you will be in danger. Naturally his son is not gifted with any abilities, insted is corrupted by evil. that would amke him weaker and weaker as he gets consumed by evil, or turn incredibly strong if exposed to pure evil. The suit would both stop him from turning into an evil monster, and stop the corruption. And what else I already wrote down. The bow is jsut a bow, that one is simple. The gemstone is the only thing special about the sword. It glows in the dark. The sword is just a sword. But it would be incredibly helpful for anyone who is about to face demons to have a purifying light right? I mean that dad should be in teh Doomsday Preppers for all he thought of. I hope this explains everything. i can nerf him if you want to, but I feel like this is a minimum if there are people who can hurl fireballs, and or wear full platemail. Or you know have a demon in them (*cough* cliché *cough*)

Edit: Okay imma go sleep not sure if I'll be on in 12 hours or 120 hours.

[EthTenshi]

@Prince of Seraphs

A form of a swordsman, light speedy but clutch like. Nothing special.

[Lady Seraphina]

@6slyboy6
Bypassing how he found out about the demon deal for a moment he still wouldn't have known when Veiron would fall. The King (who I should really give a name) bargained for a hundred years of paradise in exchange for his soul and his kingdom (the conclusion of this deal opened the Gates of Hell) however through some loophole in the contract the demons collected there prize fifty years ahead of time. Even the King didn't know the fall was coming until a few hours before it happened.

Generally speaking I don't like the term "evil" as it is incredibly absolute but leaving that alone for a moment Tobias has some form of blood disease that over time gives him demonlike traits correct? The magic suit halts the progression of this disease. Now did he get this disease at Veiron or when the ambiguous possibly vampire like demon attacked his mother?

Next the demons wouldn't care who knew about the deal, in fact they'd likely find it amusing seeing at that as public knowledge would cause mass panic. At that point it would be too late to actually break it so the demons don't care. Though the King likely would so you might want to change it from demons to the King declared him an enemy of state and put a bounty on his head type deal.

I'm not totally sure why he'd want to summon the demon that made the deal or why he would do it in proximity of his wife without protection but I can chock that one up to overconfidence and naivety on FT's part.

Aside from that as long as you incorporate everything into your CS you should be good to post.

@everyone, I'm thinking of changing the quote at the top of the OP. I have a number of options and was wondering on your guy opinion.

• "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
• "The descent into Hell is easy."
• "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Thoughts?
