[OOC] Splendor and Stupidity (A KonoSuba-inspired RP)- We're Live, Guys!

@Vee: It's not just the issue of whether or not you can play him, but also the comparative strength coupled with the lack of anything major offsetting them. Dude could probably solo a raid boss with those skills of his, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

@demonspade64: One other person seems to be on the rolling list for that.

Nyla Fronnz

~ Nyla Fronnz ~

Name:

Nyla Fronnz

Age:

Twenty. (20)

Gender:

Female.

Race:

Human.

---

Hider

---

Personality:

Nyla is a ditz. She is constantly tripping over something or blurting out something stupid without realizing it. A lot of people think she is quite dim-witted. And they would not be wrong. She can be convinced of just about anything. The moon is made of cheese? She might deny it for a bit, but in her head she will be considering its validity. If the subject is pushed she will eventually cave and believe you until proven otherwise. But beyond that she is a sweet carefree girl. Fiercely loving and loyal to a fault. The poor girl has no sense of personal space or appropriate behavior in public. She has no problem loving up on someone for any reason no matter the circumstances.

---

Hider

Abilities:

Nyla is a support class mage. She uses holy energy to bolster her allies and heal injuries. She has little to no offensive ability. Despite her ditzy disposition while her abilities are needed she finds a way to harness enough focus to be an asset to any party she is in.

• Healing Light ~ This was the first ever spell she was taught. It's rather basic, for holy magic, but difficult to perfect. Nyla is nowhere near a master, but she is proficient. How is ability works is by constantly channeling restorative energy into her hands which emit a radiant light. While her hands are hovering over an injury the energy will begin to seep into the injured individuals body and help it heal the wound. Though this does take a bit of time it is much faster than healing on their own.
• Transfer Pain ~ This supportive spell is cast on a target. This cannot be cast on herself. The target's pain receptors are dampened and the pain is then transferred and taken into Nyla. Nyla won't take the actually damage, simply transfer the pain to herself. Though this causes no physical damage to her it is pain to different degrees depending on what level of pain she is taking. This ability also requires a tremendous amount of focus. If the strain becomes to much she could possibly faint and the target would then begin to feel the pain once again.
• Shimmer ~ Nyla emits a bright light from her body in all directions. Anyone looking her direction would become disoriented and blind for a few seconds. Eventually with practice Nyla will be able to shoot this blinding light directionally. Maybe even some day using it as an offensive tool.
• Sooth ~ Nyla is actually able to calm a frantic mind. Either soothing anxiety or fear, etc and bring them to a calmer state. With more practice she will be able to calm wild animals.
• Over Drive ~ One of Nyla's my powerful skills. Nyla is required to get into a meditative state and focus all her thoughts to one target. Doing this bolsters her targets physical and magical capabilities. Making the target faster, stronger, more intelligent, produce stronger magic. They simply become the best versions of what they are capable of. This only lasts as long as Nyla remains conscious and channeling. During this state Nyla has no cognition of her surroundings. Her one and only focus is on the target she is blessing. This ability puts tremendous strain on Nyla and she can't keep it active longer then a few minutes. Any longer she is at risk of passing out or worse.

Notable Equipment:

She has a pet squirrel she affectionately named Kuzie. She is rarely seen without him, and when Kuzie is not seen it probably means he's sleeping in one of her pockets. Nyla believes that Kuzie is her guardian angel. There to watch over her. She is very protective of Kuzie.

Traits:

While in combat Nyla seems to have an uncanny knack for avoiding danger; unceremoniously.
Nyla also seems to have rather high stamina. Able to take quite a bit of damage and still able to stand.
High constitution and spirit.

History:

Nyla was born an Orphan in a church. She grew up with many other children of varied ages. She was constantly teased by the children her age for being dumb. She was constantly tripping over herself and covering herself in bruises and scrapes. But it seemed nothing could tarnish the girls sweet spirit. She was always still sweet and kind to everyone. Given the environment she spent most of her time with the Priestess'. Watching them in awe. How their magic was so pretty and magical. For a time longer than she cares to admit she believed they were angels of some kind. Blessed creatures sent to this world to shine a bright, beautiful light on its dark corners. This was the main reason she followed their example.

Nyla, while alone at night, could always be seen hiding off somewhere and trying to mimic the Priestess'. Doing as they did over and over until she got it right. Even though it never produced anything magical as she never learned how to properly harness any sort of power. Despite Nyla's attempt at secrecy a Priestess took notice of her. For a while the Priestess simply watched in silence. Joyed by the young Nyla's purity and innocence. But eventually the Priestess decided if Nyla was this serious about learning she might as well learn correctly. To Nyla's surprise the Priestess came to her during her nightly practice sessions. She was embarrassed but it was soon squashed with excitement upon hearing the news. She was going to learn! For real! No longer her fruitless attempts. But to actually learn from a Priestess. Nyla eagerly agreed.

Nyla's klutzy nature was no asset in her learning. It took her much longer to simply learn the basics. But no matter what she tried. Harder than any other. She put everything she had into her training. She was tireless and unwavering. Every free moment she spent learning and adapting. It took time but eventually Nyla learned and she became rather accomplished. Upon her eighteenth birthday she was a free citizen. Given the option to stay in the church she declined. She wanted to travel. She wanted to go around the world and help those in need. And that's exactly what she did. She hasn't been back to see her Master yet. But she thinks of her constantly.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Ah... Now we have another completely unrelated issue coming up lol.

Why are there so many clumsy characters? Like, both Nyla and Kain are clumsy, and we already have Allisa down as clumsy.
I'm not saying either character is bad by any means; hell, I was on the fast track to accepting them before I noticed this fact. But, uh... yeah.

I mean... is 'clumsy' just universally accepted as a trait of these characters? =3=;;

Again, I'm not rejecting them. I'm legitimately curious as to how multiple people ended up with similar characters within a short spam of a day a half.

[Scarifar]

Actually I removed the clumsy trait from Allisa a long time ago, so don't count me into that.

Also. I think that when people see "Silly", they think "Clumsy".

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Did you? Shoot, my bad lol.

Well, still, my question stands.

[Vee]

Well the primary personality trait of Nyla is ditsy and gullible. I just usually associate that with being clumsy as well. Head in the clouds and all.

Meet the Merchant

Name: Felicia Goodspend. Not at all associated with Felicia Bountcoin, Felicia Manygoods, Felicia Greatwares, Felicia Legitbiz...
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: As impeccable as ever.

Personality:
A surprisingly upbeat individual, given her day-to-day life, Felicia's days are spent with great optimism for the next big payday, allowing her to retire early with no monetary worries for the rest of her life. Said optimism is also tinged with massive gullibility, however, as the wares she carries aren't quite on the level of "rediscovered artefact of old" that peddlers tend to claim, this tends to lead to accusations of fraud when that "Legendary Holy Sword of Shininess +3" turned out to be nothing more than a polished short-sword with a sun sticker slapped onto the base.

Of course, while fraud is not her intention... profit's a profit, and since refunds are a massive hassle, she's taken to changing her name so thoroughly that no one could possibly recognise her, as well as move from town to town with what little wares she currently has. Any wealth she accumulates tends to be lost immediately on life's most important commodities - the upkeep of her snazzy outfit, and... that's about it. Food isn't necessary for daily life, after all.

Abilities:

• Felicia can spot priceless treasure shoddy knock-offs amongst a pile of shoddy knock-offs priceless treasure, with her honed Merchant's Eye.
• Given her lack of food budget, Felicia has learned to last long periods of time without succumbing to hunger.
• As she is often alone on the road, she has also learned the useful skill of poking things with her umbrella. It kind of hurts a lot.

Notable Equipment, Traits, etc;:
Equipment-wise, Felicia does not have much beyond what she wears. The umbrella is the closest thing she has to a weapon, and the main function for that thing is to enhance her image.

History:
Felicia's family history dates back centuries, each and every family member a highly... er... well, they were merchants. Good merchants? Well, that depends on one's viewpoint - is it 'good' to accrue so much debt paying it off would forever imbalance the country's economy? Twice?
Well, ignoring that, Felicia herself has been... well, her family's version of successful, in that she has actually made some profit in her life. She just has problems for other, sale-related reasons. For a long time, Felicia has been skipping towns, selling crap - unintentionally, but still - and focusing more on immediate appearance than anything long-term. Really, it's a miracle she hasn't run out of names to use and luck to rely on.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Blaah college decisions and having to deal with family breathing down my neck ate up my day today. Finally able to evaluate forms.

Well, @Vee, @Jinxlynx, as I stated earlier, you two are basically accepted. Just wanted some insight earlier.

@RolePlayerRoxas: You're good to go.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

So, uh, since it's April Fool's Day, I'll be starting off the RP in a few hours.

Because, like, seriously, this is the perfect time to do that. No joke.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Time to sell all the legit artefacts.

[Jedly]

Heyo, got drawn in by the title (only got a few episodes left to go before spring season), was wondering if applying still open? If it is, I'll gladly write a character up.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Jedly: Yeah, apps are still open.

Speaking of which, I'll get smth up later. I swear. =3=;;

[Jedly]

@PKMNB0YGot'cha.

Gonna use this as a placeholder post.

Falsch Amorum

Another glimpse
Main Theme: n-buna ft. GUMI - Aira

Name: Falsch Amorum

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Nekomimi. Yep. Cat ears.

Appearance: There are multiple aspects of Falsch's appearance that can be classified as... notable. Depending on the person, his or her eyes may be drawn to certain part of his figure. But if the young adult was to issue a survey to people who met him for the first time, most would probably check off the box correlating with the ears protruding from his matted hair. Runner up is the pigment of his hair, which is just as peculiar. Standing at a modest 5'7", Falsch is tall enough to gain some leverage on an opponent, but has small enough of a stature to maintain a low profile. Which is a characteristic essential for a light fighter who prioritizes speed and critical striking. In all actuality, that's just his way of justifying his below average height. His eyes tinted cyan are still human, just like the rest of his body.

Personality: A youth who has not been fully corrupted by the indifference on the world? Yes. A good samaritan? No. Hell. No. Falsch is not guided by a moral compass like most people, but instead abides by his own inference. His steadfast approach to the choices he makes makes this apparent. The young adult is notorious for being the epitome of "wrong time, wrong place", or rather, he completely disregards the mood of a current situation and chimes in with his own witty remark. He is sarcastic to the core. He will heavily scrutinize peoples' flaws or slip-ups and comment on them without a filter. Falsch also offers up comical relief just as much, and is generally a likable and relaxing character besides this shrewd quirk of his. Although the intensity of his critical tone with lessen as he gets to know people more.

This laidback personality of his becomes the most apparent when in dire situations. He'll still manage to slip in a few bits of dry humor while simultaneously soldering through whatever challenge stands in his wake. Although his "constructive criticism" can be a bit too much for people to handle at times, he truly wants to find people who click with him.

Abilities:
-One Step Ahead: As the name implies, it speeds up Falsch's movement for approximately a second, and spans two meters in length. This ability doesn't come without a contingency or two. For one thing, its course can not be altered during travel. Due to how fast Falsch moves in this state, he can not correct his route in any way, thus he is forced to go from Point A to Point B. Also, Point A is set based upon the way he is looking. Rather than operating off of the way his body is facing, OSA follows Falsch's gaze, so if he wants to suddenly appears above his foe, it is fully in his discretion to do so.
-Class(Rogue): Quick on his feet, and quicker with his tongue, Falsch's swift thought process coupled with quite the agile figure produces a combatant who specialized in CQC and hit-and-run tactics. He has an extremely dexterous fighting style, but is unable to deal with crowd control or foes with a lot of health.
-Acute hearing: Cat ears have their perks. Being more sensitive, they're perfect for somebody who tries to stealthily approach a confrontation.

Notable Equipment, Traits, etc;
-Scimitar: A curved one-handed used in a slashing movement, known for its unique design and its advantageous weight. The weapon almost has the size of the average short sword, but weighs down on the hand as much as a dagger.
-A bag with all of his belongings, most of which consists of essentials.
-Frigophobia - Falsch can't stand the cold, which is why he's usually seen in at least three layers. The origin of this fear is left up in the air, as the youth usually changes the subject before the topic can be pressed further.

History: "Walk with your head up high, your back straight, and your mind open." These words of wisdom concocted on the fly will always reverberate within his mind. Even though the person who originally wove them together found no meaning in them, Falsch held them close as priceless. But unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Wishes are not always granted, but on the flipside, miracles somehow crop up from what is deemed the impossible.

Parents were a hindrance. At least that's how he came to terms with their sudden disappearance, besides, such events build character. Not that it derided him too much, less people to worry over. Since then, Falsch has grown used to pressing through life solo. He has no solidified aim or final goal to achieve, just to continue learning more about the world he's learned to survive in. A nomad by nature, Falsch continues to take in the multitude of cultures he experiences. He proceeds to walk with his head up high, his posture unwavering, and his mind open. His personality just has a harder time working with this policy now.

@PKMNB0Y I think I'm done. About to pass out for the night.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Jedly: Should be fine. Accepted.

...

I should get to work. One moment, please.

[VarionusNW]

Working on a CS for this right now. How does a lesbian demon on a revenge quest sound?

Totally not going for the harem route

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Uh...

Well, we'll see about how that goes, I guess. I won't judge without the full picture, so.

Smith

Name
Beatrice Diane Rosehart Olenwald VII
(She goes by Smith)

Age
19

Gender
Female

Race
Half Demon

Personality
After losing Arlin, Smith's attitude soured. The worst aspects of her personality rose to prominence at full force, compounded by an air of bitterness and cynicism. She sees other people as tools to manipulate to complete her goals. Smith had become almost impossibly vain and entitled, with a superiorty complex to match.

Abilities

Combat magic

Smith recieved basic training in combat magics during her time with the demon king's army. This was only a period of about a year and ahlf, though, so she only knows a handfull of spells.

Hellfire(Generate fire)
This was the first spell that Smith was taught, and it's rather simple. This spell allows her to generate and manipulate fire within the palm of her hand. While being simple, this spell is also versatile, allowing her to throw weak fireballs and light things on fire. The aspect of this spell that really makes it "Hellfire" is that the flame it generates is always black and purple in coloration, because nothing looks more sinister than a black flame.

Lightning(Generate electricity)
Another simple spell, that, like Hellfire, is rather versatile. This spell allows Smith to create weak bolts of lightning and electric sparks. This spell isn't as sustainable as hellfire, as electricity dissipates pretty fast, though it is also much faster to cast, being almost instantaneous. Smith is not able to aim this spell very well, given the erradic nature of lightning, and only uses it occasionally to lessen the number of times she accidently hits herself with it.

Imbue with element
This spell allows Smith to take one of her generate element spells (both of the above spells) and apply it to a weapon. Imbuing a weapon with an element is usually more effective than the weapon or the elemental spell by themselves, but it also takes more magical energy to maintain.

Elemental Aura
Using this spell, Smith can apply an elemental spell to her entire body, forming a sort of elemental barrier around herself. This spell consumes much more energy than her other spells, but is obviously more powerful. The aura created in this way is indiscriminate in what it damages, burning or electrecuting anyone who gets too close while the spell is active.

Energy Drain
This is an extremely usefull spell for Smith, allowing her to leech magical energy from others simply through physical contact.

Succubus

Smith, due to having a succubus as a mother, inhereted some traits typical of a succubus, such as being able feed off of the pleasure of others, and being unnaturally seductive. Though, due to also being half human, Smith lacks most of the magical abilities of succubi, like illusions and dream manipulation.

Notable Equipment
The only notable things that Smith has are a plain, standard looking short sword that she had stolen, as well as the expensive looking clothes that she took with her.

Traits

Manipulative
Smith is well versed in using her looks to get what she wants. Her charms seem to work best with stupid men, which is no suprise. With this, Smith is also rather cunning, knowing how to twist her words and her actions to get the desired response from those around her.

Superiority Complex
Insecurity tends to manifest itself in outward acts of self-importance and superiority, as it does with Smith. When she's not attempting to manipulate others, she can come off as snide, cold, and possessive, though it almost seems to be as hollow as her manipulations, just a lie she hides behind.

Bad with the Blade
Even though Smith was trained in combat, and with several weapons, she was never fully trained with swords. She has little to no idea how to properly fight with a sword.

History

Hider

Beatrice's father was a human noble, and her mother was a succubus. Her father was never important in her life, given that her mother completely abandoned the sadsack once the child was born. Beatrice was given her father's last name, Olenwald, which always seemed like a cruel joke in her father's expense.

Beatrice grew up in the company of demons, destined to follow the same path as her mother and the many succubi before her, providing service to the demon king. Her upbringing was far from normal, being constantly surrounded by horny women, and learning more about sex then she ever would about her father. Her early life did have upsides, since she lived luxuriously, and was constantly surrounded by servants. She also had to deal with her mother, who acted more like a spoiled child than Beatrice, who was, in fact, a spoiled child.

The biggest problem for Beatrice came when her mother pushed her into putting her looks to use. The girl was 17 at the time, and was not truly sure of herself as a succubus. She couldn't remember what demonic entity had requested her time, but she did remember the other succubus that this demon had requested. Her name was Arlin, and Beatrice was immediately smitten with her. By the time the demon arrived, Beatrice was already having her way with Arlin. Beatrice found the demon to be completely revolting. This demon had Beatrice leave, finding her unsatisfying, and a poor excuse for a succubus. After Arlin was finally able to leave the demon's side, Beatrice asked Arlin to leave with her.

Beatrice was going to leave the lands ruled by the demon king to attempt to make a better life for herself. She wanted Arlin at her side more than anything. Arlin refused, telling Beatrice that she would rather stay among her own kind.

Beatrice gave up on her plans, and kept herself close to Arlin. Beatrice's mother wasn't necessarily happy with her daughter, but she let Beatrice do as she pleased. Beatrice found that she had some skill with magic, and trained as a fighter in the demon king's army, attempting to keep up her relationship with Arlin all the while.

Eventually, though, Arlin left Beatrice. Arlin had begun to feel guilty for continuing her acts as a succubus while having a relationship with Beatrice, and had chosen to give up Beatrice. Beatrice started to grow bitter. The one thing she cared about was now out of her grasp. She had become cold and cynical, a far cry from how she once was. Many were enchanted by Beatrice's looks, and she no longer felt guilt from abusing this, manipulating those around her.

Beatrice decided to pick her old plan from 2 years ago back up, adding revenge into the mix. Beatrice felt no anger at Arlin, no, she felt anger at the nature of succubi, demons, and even the demon king himself. This was her new goal: To kill the demon king. She knew that she could not defeat him in her current state, and so, she stole a simple sword, and left the lands of the demon king.

She shed everything about her old life except for her clothes, which were too nice to simply discard. Even her name had to go, so she took on the pseudonym "Smith."

Smith has now found herself in Lerot, registering as an adventurer.

Well, hopefully you find nothing wrong with it.
