From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

Dashing through brush and following the footsteps of his kinsmen, Tsku kept his pace quick but slow enough to remain behind the others. They had been running for so long now that time had seemed to melt away, lose meaning, as their very lives were on the line. As it was, every second already felt like an eternity. But Tsku slowed his pace so that even if their attackers should catch up to them, he would stand and fight, hold them back for as long as he could so that his tribe could escape and survive.

Nothing did attack, but they were still out in the open, defenseless and without shelter, food, or medicine. It would only be a matter of time until they were found again. It was beginning to seem like they were only delaying the inevitable, yet Tsku was not one to ever put forth less effort than he could. He would go on with full strength for the opportunity to survive, even if the chances were he'd die by the end of the day.

And they continued with good reason. Soon there was an opening in the dense brush and a cave came into view. Tsku knew other goblins might live around these lands somewhere, and potentially be dangerous, but he could not be more content to see fellow goblin faces right now.

"I think we should give them a change. Sure they could be planning something, but we need new members to make up, not replace, those we lost. And honestly while I won't claim it for myself I'm curious about that book.

"I agree, from the looks of it they have nowhere to go and are roughed up to say the least. And I am also curious about that book. Although I would want it to be a shared item among all of those who live here. I am going to go say hi. If you want come with me and say hi.

That in mind Lomen walked forward, brushing his hands that still had some dirt on it from burying his brother earlier. Standing up as normal Lomen went out to them and offered his hand.

"Hello. My name is Lomen. I would like to say that I am for bringing you all into the clan. Also is that some of us would be interested in what is contained inside the book. But for the moment I am honored to meet you all. What are your names?"

Lomen offered his hand out to shake. He wasn't sure why, but he felt like they may be able to open up if they had some mutual trust with him. That and he felt that if at least one was willing to give a good handshake than it would set his mind a bit at ease.

Tsku watched the goblin Lomen introduce himself, being the last to appear. As Kalista introduced herself but did not take Lomen's hand, Tsku acknowledged the offer of trust and decided to step forward beside Kalista and take Lomen's hand himself.

"Thank you for fast and kind welcome." Tsku shook Lomen's hand firmly, not wishing to offend him at all.

"I am Tsku of the Mountain. We are exhausted from battle, forgive our condition. We would be happy to share book with you after treating wounds and taking moment to rest."

Okay so to clarify, the abilities our character's use will be reminiscent of Hunter X Hunter. But any actual terms like Nen are not going to be used.

What @Dblade26 and I had in mind was more of a middle ground. Characters will be able to sense others' energy levels and presence, they can shield their bodies with their auras, fire kinetic blasts, etc.

I actually want to leave the concept open for now, but if you're familiar with Hunter X Hunter I don't see the more complex powers like Kite's sentient "Crazy Slots" being something that would quite fit.

But as I said before, I want everyone to enjoy the game. So please provide feedback.

@Blu Will do! I already have my character concept, just need to type it up. If I don't finish it tonight, I will tomorrow.

@Jangel13

Been busy with my dad's birthday and work. But I'll try to get a post tonight (I do have things to do though), and if not for sure I'll post tomorrow.

Shoot, I was really diving into my character's relationship with Anubis and realized he was already chosen.

It gets cached so only you can see it. Try clearing your cache first.

@Hammerman

I figured that but when I checked the actual link it wasn't broken. Anyway, I provided an entirely new link so it should work now.

I'll start approving characters once I'm finished with my character and we'll get this thing rolling. Once we get the approved characters/players, we'll take a vote on where the game will start.

Arc Academy

@Acid Hippie I'm willing to offer any assistance, anytime. Like I said if you need help reviewing CS's or just want to bounce ideas off me don't hesitate. I've been really craving a group RP for while but nothing was really catching my interest so I wanna do what I can to make sure this goes well. On that note, may I offer a suggestion on the leveling and experience system? I know that the numbers aren't meant to be taken in the way of "my numbers are bigger than yours so i win" but I have always found that it can still muck up things. Whether it be players who will take them in that concrete way or new players trying to come in but feeling like they can't catch up or they don't have the time to post often enough to keep pace with other characters. Instead of having concrete experience points why not let it just be based on character development and moderate it, ie what the character learns or overcomes during a certain fight or job. Make the levels more of a title system that denotes experience and/or strength. Keeps things flexible so while someone may have a higher rank/title it doesn't necessarily represent a level of strength. Just my thoughts on it.

@Vongola_Hasayo

We can change the EXP system if everyone chooses to, and I'd have no problem with that if they're okay with @Dblade26 and myself having control over when they obtain new abilities, deciding if it is too soon to learn something.

I will say though, I made it pretty straight forward so that after a certain amount of battles, a character will always level up, even if they're losing. Some characters might level up faster (by partaking in solo matches and not falling unconscious before the fight is over) but the EXP rewards are all close in number and are gained simply for partaking in battles.

I also added instructor EXP bonuses, which will be given out by @Dblade26 and myself. That should help keep the game balanced, but like I said I don't mind scratching it altogether if everyone is comfortable with doing it on their own and having us oversee it.

I want everyone to really enjoy the game, anything that isn't character/plot driven is simply for fun and flavor. We'll edit/remove anything that becomes too complicated.

Zamonth

Zamonth The Slayer

Height: 6'3

Personal Information

Name: Zamonth
Alias: Zamonth The Slayer
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Appearance: Zamonth is a tall, burly man. He is in prime physique and his sheer size alone intimidates even the bravest of warriors, not to mention his icey glare.

Magician Form

Date of Birth: September 15
Personality:
Despite having an intimidating reputation and form, Zamonth is actually very lax and easy-going. He follows orders and is very patient. To those that do not know him, he will still seem quiet and moody. But around comrades, Zamonth is . . . still often quiet and moody. But stick around long enough and you will see Zamonth burst with excitement at the opportunity to fight a worthy foe, enjoy delicious food, drink superb tasting wine.

In moments of joy, Zamonth will drop his silent and mature demeanor and at times appear to be a flat out child. But this is not to say that Zamonth does not have a temper. Should you not only upset Zamonth, but truly anger and disrespect him, he will erupt into what can be described as a blind fury of destruction and chaos. He will not stop until he pummels his opponent into the ground, heavily driving the point that he is unhappy and much more powerful than his foe.

When in combat but of a calm mind, Zamonth is not as ruthless, but still overwhelmingly destructive at times. That's not to say he won't try and gauge his attacks, as he will nonchalantly knock weak opponents unconscious, but he does sometimes struggle to monitor his strength.

All in all, Zamonth is honest, loyal, and despite his darker background is obviously seeking a somewhat different lifestyle than that of before.
Biography:
Evident by his skin tone, Zamonth is not originally of Egypt. He comes from another land, one more tropical and shaded from the intense sun. With a very different culture, it is here that he endured the painful process of tattooing his body and becoming the excellent swimmer he is today. In his lands, survival of the fittest took on another meaning in that ruling tribes and leaders were determined by strength and challenges of endurance. Those who could not compete in such endeavors were not able to hold any authority and had little say in decision making.

Here, Zamonth was conditioned to fight from birth. Born with an indomitable spirit and unwavering determination he easily rose to the top ranks of warriors. It was not long after early adolescence that Zamonth became a champion not only of his tribe's combat ring, but of the entire island civilization he lived on. Wishing to see his tribe have all their needs and desires satisfied, Zamonth fought brutally against any that dared challenge his tribe, their land. For favor of unclaimed lands and trading negotiations, Zamonth would swim against other tribe's most powerful, seeing who could swim furthest out into the raging ocean-and make it back.

For a few years Zamonth's tribe enjoy the ultimate lifestyle of the island, until a rivaling and jealous tribe decided to try and take that away. One night while Zamonth was quite a distance from his land, night fishing for large nocturnal prey that would feed his people, this tribe ambushed his village. By the time Zamonth noticed the fire and smoke looming from his village and made his way back, the his entire tribe had been slaughtered. Normally this would have been a breach of agreement established by his very tribe, but in this island, survival of the fittest decided unspoken law. With his tribe murdered there was no one to try them, in fact, they were now the supreme tribe.

The title did not last long however, as Zamonth, blinded by his fury, in return mercilessly obliterated the rival tribe. Afterwards, there was nothing left for him however.

With no home, no family, and a disgust for the world he once was apart of, Zamonth decided to leave the beautiful but dangerous island he had lived in all his life. Creating a vessel made of some of the strongest wood in the land, Zamonth set out to the sea and made his way for the nearest land to his island, the land known as Egypt.

Though he was familiar with the sea and fishing, the journey to Egypt was long and grueling. One night in the midst of a fever induced semi-conscious dream, Zamonth was approached with a voice, the voice belonging to someone that called herself "Ammit, The Devourer of the Dead." She told Zamonth that although this journey would at the time be the greatest task he'd complete, should he survive, that much more would be possible should he succeed. Upon reaching the land known as Egypt, this deity would grace Zamonth for his display of power, his display of determination, and soon, the wrath that he would bring upon Egypt; but what his wrath would be used for, that, was up to him. So long as death of the wicked hearts were carried out.

Upon arriving, Zamonth quickly learned that those with power sought to take advantage of others all throughout the world. Weakened from his trip, slavers captured Zamonth and decided to take him back to their gladiator arena.

On the day Zamonth arrived to the arena, he had no food and little water in his system. He was placed in in a cell next to someone he soon learned was Amen. It was then he learned of Amen's origin, his desires in this world, and his own cruel fate. With unexpected generosity, Amen offered what little food he had to Zamonth, having been enslaved much longer than Zamonth had been but also having eaten more recently.

The next time Amen was thrown into the arena, two unexpected things happened.

Fueled by not only rage from his slaughtered tribe and the slavers here in Egypt, but a new sense of justice, Zamonth exploded into a frenzy. He decided that even if he should die here, he would kill as many slavers as he could and help Amen see freedom to hopefully one day right the wrongs he and this land suffered. It was then that the god of war, Ammit, first came to Zamonth and granted him the power of the gods. Lacking magic teaching and experience meant nothing as Ammit cared for but one thing: Zamonth's power.

The slavers stood no chance against Zamonth as he wiped out nearly half their forces. If not for his exhaustion, he would surely have killed them all, but the god form took its toll on the barely fed Zamonth and he resorted to a weakened human form.

Fortunately, on that day, a band of thieves decided to steal from the slavers as well. Whether by their own good will or the impressive will of Amen and Zamonth to escape, they decided to help free all the prisoners.

From then on Zamonth and Amen traveled with this band of thieves, stealing but not without their own unique moral code. Thanks to stolen teachings, mainly obtained by Amen, Zamonth has learned basic magic skills/spells and has continued to strengthen his bonds with the gods.

Once Amen was called back to the kingdom, Zamonth accepted an offer to come along with him and serve as one of his Viziers, specifically as a body guard, combat instructor, and ultimate warrior weapon.

Combat Information

Magician: Yes
Deity: Ammit; Beginning study on Khnum
Equipment:
Broadsword- Zamonth is very proficient with blades, and his great strength allows him to wield even the heaviest of swords. His broadsword is extra long, possible not only thanks to his strength but impressive height. Because of this he has a very broad attack range. His custom sword guard allows him to snare enemy blades and easily disarm them with his overwhelming power.

My Hider

Ability:
Physical Strength: Zamonth is unmatched in physical prowess, able to easily lift heavy objects and push back large opponents. In his time as a thief, he used his strength to help in missions.

Swimming: Coming from an island and traveling the ocean, Zamonth is an excellent swimmer and can hold his breath for a very, very long time.

Water Magic: While not the most skilled in casting spells, Zamonth does have a natural affinity with water and thus can perform various feats with water, such as creating oxygen bubbles underwater and creating ice barriers. Having Ammit, a part reptilian/hippopotamus deity, also increases his ability with water.
Spells/Techniques:
Scale Armor: Guided more by Zamonth's patron deity and affinity with water than a spell book, he can cast ice scales around his body that protect his flesh and make holding him in place very difficult.

Ice Spikes: Projectiles made of ice can be fired from Zamonth's hands, either individually or in a barrage.

Lion's Senses: Using the lion senses granted to him by Ammit, Zamonth can temporarily gain enhanced senses, primarily those of hearing and smell. This also grants him increased balance and a boost in agility.

Weapons Master: Zamonth is proficient with various weapons, though heavy weapons are his upmost specialty. In the heat of battle, Zamonth will disarm opponents and turn their weapons against them. His sword and arm guard are specifically designed to increase his defense and disarming ability.

Jaws of Death: Using both arms, Zamonth creates a 'set of jaws' that become surrounded in large ice teeth. With the 'strength of the lion, hippopotamus and crocodile', these jaws (though limited in direction once created) are near impossible to escape and will crush opponents before literally freezing their bodies and draining them of whatever life they have left.

Ice Sheet: Zamonth can cover surfaces and with enough will even thin air into sheets of ice. This can make it hard for enemies to keep their footing, but also allow for Zamonth to slide quickly from place to place; even over dangerous falls and elements. On a smaller scale, Zamonth can coat weapons with ice to deal elemental damage to enemies.

"Eater of Hearts": Allowing Ammit to fill him completely, Zamonth can take on the god like form of a giant humanoid demon crocodile. This increases his already great height, strength, endurance, and durability. Normal weapons deal no damage to his thick scales and even magic attacks are now less effective against the normally more vulnerable Zamonth. Unlike most deity forms, Ammit's is feared as Ammit is a demon that devours unworthy souls and sends them to the fiery lake of fire that is her stomach.

Misc. Information

-Ammit is a demon that devours unpure souls who fail to pass Annubis's judgement. Not being evil per say, this does cause Ammit to have a great appetite for souls and thus push warrior's to prematurely end the lives of the wicked. The consequences are not always ideal, but such is the role of a demon.

From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

Tsku

Name: Tsku
Gender: Male
Experience: 20EXP

Appearance: Standing at 4'1 Tsku is average in goblin height, however his skin is an odd greyish purple tone. His eyes are dark purple, and his hair has been formed into thick dreadlocks. His right eye has a noticeable red scar over it.

Personality: Calm and observant, Tsku likes to "flow with nature". He is willing and ready to take what needs, but never more. He will also fight to preserve the land from those that would abuse it, understanding that everything is connected. Once in battle, Tsku is honorable and will not resort to dirty tactics. This does not however, take away from the primal force that Tsku will drive into his attacks and will to live. He will fight with all his strength and spirit, but after killing his foe, respect the sacrifice and life lost. Being comfortable with nature and the cycle of life, Tsku is not afraid of the wilderness. This is not to say he does not respect nature's wrath, but rather Tsku is comfortable with the risks of the wilderness and will easily scale large cliffs, dive from waterfalls, and wrestle with opponents much more powerful than himself if only to find an opportunity to escape. Tsku is both compassionate and brave.

Past Life History: In his past life, Tsku was "Jonathan Wilson". Jonathan was a veterinarian who loved animals and the outdoors. He spent his life saving the lives of sick and injured animals, using his free time to hike and explore all that the wilderness had to offer. Unfortunately, while on one trip through a mountainous region, Jonathan found an elk stranded on a cliff. Unable to ignore his desire to help animals, Jonathan attempted to rescue the elk. Using his wits, he was able to find a way to help lift the elk up the cliff edge. But in the process, the ground beneath Jonathan crumbled and caused him to lose his footing. It was tragic, but as he fell from the cliff, he could see the elk joined by two small calves. It was only a glimpse, but that final image, and that of the beautiful trees and mountains flying by as he fell 13,000 feet . . . it was enough for Jonathan to close his eyes and smile right before his death.

Skill: As he gave his previous life to animals and nature, Tsku has a natural affinity for animals and nature itself. He does not attract hostile animals unless they are mad/starving/attacked and he can tell when the weather will change or let up.

Other: Tsku once faced an enraged black wolf in his homeland, on cloudy night in the mountains. The battle was brutal and Tsku might not have survived had he not knocked the wolf from the ledge they were fighting on. He was left with a permanent scar over his eye, a constant reminder that one animal was still out there that wished him dead. I'm a Mighty Goblin

Acquired Skills:

Iron Fortitude- Having lived in the mountains and facing near-death in this life, Tsku has acquired a skill where he can endure even the most immense physical/mental exhaustion as well as pain. This enhanced endurance briefly reduces incoming damage and lowers the amount of stamina spent. Available when health is low.

Inventory:

+Small Iron Blade- Discovered in a mountain cave; built by a smith with minerals commonly found in the cave.
