Hehe, I guess Evie's reaction was still pretty normal. XD She's one of the more obvious ones in terms of what her sin is. XD We just have to wait for Jester, hehehe. XD

This RP needs Tarot cards too. XD 7 characters means 21 cards (excluding World) with three each. XD Cisrian gets Devil this time? Mira gets High Priestess and Lovers, Dante easily gets Tower. XD Should the Empress be a girl (Selena or Evie) or the cross-dresser (Andre)? XD

Cross x S[i]N: The Dark Sephiroth

Posted! XD Well, Evie's not Wrath for nothing after all! Maybe Cisrian can inject her? XD

Evgeniya Sergeyevna Chernova
Dark Realm || Angel's Town
MediLab

The female scientist walked over to one of the machines in the room and pressed a button. Immediately, the liquid around Evie drained, allowing her feet to touch the bottom of the tube as the tank emptied itself. Evie quickly ripped off her mouthpiece, moving and stretching her stiff jaw as she stepped out of the tube. She certainly did not enjoy being inside.

"Govno...about time you let me out! Where am I? Why the hell am I here? Tell me!" She shouted, taking in her surroundings. Everyone had exited their tanks, and Evie found them...familiar-looking to say the least, perhaps except for the gray-haired man dressed in robes. Even the guy she now remembered dancing with was in the room.

"Angel's Town," the lead scientist answered, "who are you people?"

"Evgeniya Sergeyevna Chernova...gah, Evie! Just Evie, damn it! Tell me how the hell I went from fighting Blood Orcs to getting trapped in here?" The blonde growled. Had they not tried to at least identify whoever they took? Them not knowing her gave her a bit of relief however. Had it been the police, and information about her less-than-legal activities was revealed...it could have been much worse. Evie remembered most things now, but there was still that gap in her memory, something missing that she could not point her finger on.

Something was going on between another scientist, the dark-haired man and the dark-haired girl. From the conversation, it appeared that the two were apparently siblings, judging from their surprised and disbelieving reactions, as well as mentions of DNA samples by the scientist. From Evie's point of view, the two couldn't be more different, their outward coloring aside. The guy, Dante, was rugged-looking and muscular, while the female, who called herself Selena, was anything but, instead being elegant-looking and dressed in pink.

"We found you all minutes away from death but were able to save you. A normal human would not have survived that sort of crash which was the only reason we decided to keep you alive... a year ago." The scientist changed the topic as he faced everyone in the room. Evie knew that she could hear...but did he really say that a year had passed? Had she been held captive for a year? Selena yelled angrily at the scientist as the truth sunk in, only to be calmed down by a blonde male. If what the scientist said was true...

"Are you telling me that Artem thinks I'm dead? Or that the police is hunting me down? Chyort durak! Idi k chertu!" She cursed angrily, losing her temper as she balled her hand into a fist and punched the scientist on his face.

Posted, hehe. XD Stella should buy the balls and take the free Luxury balls? XD That's the only reason I could find, considering that she's the least likely to run. XD

So...the Tarot cards needed so far are:

Stella: High Priestess, Strength/Lust, Hermit
Nerissa: Tower, Hanged Man, Temperance
Emil: Hierophant, Chariot, Justice

I had to remake the previous ones on the new avatar creator, so everything could be filed in one tag. There was no free layering though, so I had to alter some stuff. XD

Emil's cards:


Fool: Evil jester/trickster, serial killer, Jaqen H'ghar (Game of Thrones)
Sun: A mix of Maplestory's "Luminous" (light element part only) and Final Fantasy's White Mage, scene depicts triumph over a hard boss battle.
Emperor: Oberon (autumn version)
Lovers: Phantom of the Opera

Stella's cards:


Judgment: Cleric, Ragnarok Online's Archbishop, background depicts ultimate "Judgment/Apocalypse" damage-dealing skill.
Star: Queen Cassiopeia (a real constellation)
Devil: Bloody Mary
Magician: Twilight Sparkle

Nerissa's cards:


Death: Warrior/barbarian, Sejuani from League of Legends, winter/snow=death symbolism.
Moon: Ninja or thief (with illusion or cloaking skills)
Empress: Black Queen in a chess game
Wheel of Fortune: Crazy murderer who escaped from an asylum, shows both good luck and bad luck.

Yup, I'd like Game of Thrones-inspired ones for Stella and Nerissa, considering that neither have a card that looks close yet. XD Maybe another one for Emil too, but as a different character...perhaps for Chariot (Jaime Lannister or Robb Stark)? Stella's Game of Thrones one can work for Strength/Lust or High Priestess. Nerissa's...probably for Tower? All three of her options actually kinda work. XD

One of the girls would probably look good in this blue Game of Thrones dress: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/33900000/Jon-Snow-HQ-jon-snow-33960742-612-458.jpg

"I guess... but... I...I...I wanted to win! Hold on... I'll be right back... I need to... collect myself." Whitney sniffled before heading to her office in the back of the Gym. Nerissa snorted, half with amusement and half with exasperation towards Whitney's overreacting. Did Emil and Stella believe her now? She looked back and gave her two companions a "told ya" smirk.

When she turned her head towards the centre of the arena, a well-dressed man emerged, seemingly from one of the Gym's back walls, and walked into the middle of the battlefield, holding a sheet of paper in one of his hands. He cleared his throat loudly, then started reading from the paper, as if he needed to read a script for whatever he had to say. He explained to them that they were now officially qualified to be Trainers, before complimenting each of the three individually. Nerissa grinned when he got to her, praising her "for displaying an unyielding spirit even in the face of a powerful opponent", glad that he did see her potential and skill, as well as her passion, despite her lack of bearing.

"And should you wonder why you passed despite the tie - I can tell you that victory is not the only proof of skill. You did well. Be proud." He added, acknowledging the fact that Miltank was indeed the most challenging opponent.

"Heh, to think that nobody saw that coming! You should have seen the look on her face!" She agreed rather loudly as an assistant stamped her blue license with a gold seal. The man suggested that they head to the Department Store to grab some supplies.

"Oh, shit..." Nerissa realized that she forgot to stock up on Pokeballs, though she did have a few of vending machine drinks stashed into her bag from her trip earlier that morning. Before she could run off however, Whitney emerged from the back of the Gym, carrying Badges, as well as pink TM discs.

"I suppose you can have these too. You earned them fair and square... But, you owe me a rematch later!" The Gym Leader said as she handed Nerissa a diamond-shaped badge and a TM, which apparently contained Attract. Nerissa pinned the badge to the strap of her sling backpack and put away the TM. After Whitney remarked at how Emil forgot his Badge, Nerissa tipped the brim of her flat cap down at the Gym Leader.

"Sure, sure. Don't expect me to take it easy though, man!" She laughed, before running and catching up with Stella.

"Hey. Race you to the department store! Last one there has to buy everyone's Pokeballs!" She taunted, before running off outside the Gym, heading for the Department Store.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nerissa was the first to reach the department store. Her hair was messy and she was slightly sweaty. It was hot that day after all. Shielding her eyes from the hot sun, she looked out, seeing two approaching figures...whoever was going to lose and buy the Pokeballs...it definitely wasn't her.

He scares you? Cool! I wanted to go for maximum creep factor here considering that "dark" cards aren't typical for Emil. XD I added a few Game of Thrones references in his...the vibe is from Jaqen H'ghar (basically a serial killer), and he has a three-eyed raven. XD Too bad I couldn't do a Game of Thrones-themed Doom Trio...picking the characters would have been difficult...XD

This was my basis for Stella's look and color scheme, but made the overall appearance sexier:

http://www.more-elegant.de/cosplay/_archbishop1.jpg

As for Nerissa, with her furry outfit, was based on this character:

http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Sejuani_0.jpg

There was no furry skirt in tektek though, so I just went with shorts and stockings, and higher, furry boots. Changed the color scheme because of "Death", gave her a different weapon...and no pig of course. XD

Takes Three to Tango | REDUX | J/A/C

Yup, she probably would want an evolution stone, as she does have a number of stone evolutions on her team. XD Plus, we can add Heracross as a catchable Pokemon. It would definitely get a similar score to Pinsir and Scyther, since they share BSTs. XD

And...created the Doom Trio! XD



They have an RPG theme going on, combined with particular characters. Emil is a Trickster/Jester, a dark one at that...with more RPG-like clothing (hence the spikes). I did not want him to look like Kefka, and the jester hats I put on him looked awful, so I went for blue eye makeup and a mask instead...went for a combination of the Italian stock character "Harlequin" and a theatrical serial killer. XD For Stella, she's of the Cleric class. In games, they usually have a really strong Holy-element spell with an apocalypse theme to make up for their lack of offensive skills. Of course the big explosion in the background is her "Judgment" spell. She's also based on Ragnarok Online's Archbishop class. XD Nerissa is a Warrior/Barbarian, and is in a winter/freezing setting because of winter's association with death. She kinda resembles Sejuani from League of Legends, but with a different weapon...and no giant pig...a giant pig would look awful! XD

Emil's, rather. XD Damn, why do you take such joy immortalizing our mistakes?! XD

Dark Frontiers: The Demon King (DRK||Atrum)

Name: Cordelia Susanna Murphy

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Cordelia is a pale-skinned beauty, taller than most women of her time, standing at a solid 6 feet tall. By far the most distinctive thing about her appearance is her hair, it being thick, wavy and crimson, reaching almost to her knees in length. As dictated by her job, her hair is usually curled into ringlets and piled on top of her head in an elaborate updo decorated with rose hairpins, some of the curls left free to fall down her back, as well as frame her face. Her eyes are a light teal blue, framed with long lashes that are coated with dark mascara, and lids accentuated by dark eyeshadow. Her face is a slightly angular oval with a pointed nose and moderately thin brows. Cordelia's body is thin from a meager diet, growing up poor in Ireland, but lean-muscled, sturdy and strong from hard work, with large breasts, a flat stomach that is easily taken in by corsets and long legs. Her hands are rough and callused with numerous small scars, which her employer claims "would be the death of her appeal".

As dictated by her job, Cordelia dresses in an elaborate gown, consisting of a black corset with short black puffed sleeves that go off her shoulders, silver trim, and is laced up with sapphire blue strings. Her skirts are multi-layered, her inner ones being sapphire blue and raised up in front, reaching the middle of her thighs, while still remaining long at the back. Her outer skirt is black and in the same style, the front short and exposing her underskirts, and the back covering the inner layers. A sapphire blue ribbon decorates her back. She wears thigh-high sheer black stockings, as well as black high heels, which she finds very uncomfortable. As her hands are rough and her arms are scarred, her employer insists that she covers them up with long, black gloves. Her hair is decorated by red and cream rose hairpins. Cordelia however, would love nothing more than to be free from the restraints of corsets and heels, and to put on trousers rather than a dress.



Personality: Cordelia is a determined and passionate girl, with a love for life and new experiences. Being raised in a poor farming family in her native Ireland shaped this young woman to be resourceful with what she has, strong-willed, streetwise and fearless in the face of danger. She isn't threatened by taunts, and is more likely to fight back than take whatever is thrown at her. This sort of life also meant that she was never going to grow up to be a proper lady, and true to that, most of her gestures are more masculine than feminine. She still knows that she is beautiful however, and was trained to use this to her advantage. While Cordelia is more likely to deal with problems head on, she knows when opportunities present themselves to her and how to take advantage of them. This redhead also harbors distaste and mistrust towards Brits in general, mostly because of her family's British landlord.

Despite having a difficult life, Cordelia however remains adventurous and is a free spirit by heart, unwilling to be tied down by rules and orders. She might be forced to work hard, but she in reality, longs for a world and a life outside her work where she can be free to make her own choices, do what she wants, and love who she wants to love. She might be a hard worker, but that doesn't mean that she enjoys being just like that - a hard worker. Rather, she fancies the idea of life on the wild frontier, whether the rumors about the dangers and the spirits out and about are true or not. Fear was never her issue after all, and she did get to experience such freedom in Ireland, back when she was young and didn't have to carry out responsibilities and duties in the farm. Up to now, she still dislikes having to place work above her own happiness. Unfortunately, her employer was never the kindest man, and basically claims that he "owns" her. Still, she makes it a point not to bend fully to him, and does what she could to make her life bearable, until she could find the right opportunity to capitalize on, that is.

Entertainer she may be, but when Cordelia loves, she knows that it would be forever. Two years of being forced upon unsavory men and never did she have feelings for those she had one-night stands with. She might flirt and seduce to get what she wants, but when she does develop feelings for someone, expect her to be loyal, though she shows it in different, unconventional ways at first and would probably deny it if questioned.

History: Seamus Murphy was a rebellious Irish serf, despite the poverty that he and his wife Colleen lived in. Their extremely theatrical and vain landlord, Drake, was a cruel man, forcing them to labor for long hours on the farm, while taking away most of what they grew and harvested. However, Seamus taught himself and Colleen how to read and write, stole crops whenever he could, and named his three children with Shakespearean names as a jab towards his landlord. Cordelia was the middle child and the only girl of three children. Lear, her older brother, doted on her a lot and despite their difficult life, tried to make life better for her. While they had to attend to farm work often, Cordelia and Lear often went playing in the moors and the hills during their free time, mischievous Cordelia wanting to see more and frequently wearing her brother's old trousers instead of dresses, and Lear leading her in "quests", exploring woods and old ruins. The two sometimes even dared steal two of Drake's smaller horses (usually Cordelia's idea) and rode at night, trying to test their luck in spotting the Dullahan. It was at this young age that the redhead learned to fight and defend herself, as tricky leprechauns and grass monsters frequented the area. Her younger brother by six years, Cicero, was just as playful, though he always seemed to find himself at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Cordelia and Lear often defended him, insisting that they take the blame. Drake was not a kind-hearted man however, and often punished them physically, as well as forced them to work into the night at times. In time, the siblings were forced to work longer hours with their parents. Though they tried to find some time (usually at night) for themselves, life became more difficult, and the three had to resort to learning how to steal the way their father did in order to help the family survive. Cordelia grew up tough and strong, without fear for her landlord, knowing too much about his tendencies to do so. Every yell only managed to make her lash out in retaliation, and she never bothered to hide her anger from him either. Lear and Cicero were more patient, but no less strong-willed.

Seamus and Colleen knew that there was no future in staying in Ireland under Drake longer than Cordelia suspected. They had gradually been saving up to purchase tickets to America in order for the family to start a new life there. However, it was very difficult to do so, and by the time that Cordelia was twenty-one, Lear, twenty-four and Cicero, fifteen, they had only managed to have enough for two tickets. Deciding that Cordelia and Lear were old enough to take care of themselves, Seamus and Colleen purchased the tickets for them, and forced them to leave the farm the next night. They were hesitant at first, but the parents' urging won out, and they ran away, boarding the third-class coffin ship two days later, before they could be caught.

The trip took a month, and many died onboard. Cordelia and Lear managed to stay alive together as they arrived, and they settled in a cheap Boston tenement, taking up jobs as factory workers. Cordelia stayed for two months, working for very little payment and hating her job due to how much it enslaved her. She wanted out, and her opportunity came when two finely-dressed men struck up a conversation with her on the street as she was heading home from another long workday. They offered her a better job, claiming that she was "a rare beauty", with food and board separate from her pay, the only condition is that she move and travel with them. Cordelia decided on her own that she was going to take up the offer, thinking that it would free her of her current burdens, and that night, instead of going back to Lear and the apartment, she left with the two men on a train. She eventually found herself in a small frontier town in the dry West. The men owned a saloon, and she had actually been hired to be a multipurpose saloon girl. Taking up the name "Susanna Blue" from her own middle name combined with her eye color (as her employers thought that "Cordelia' was too cold and Shakespearean), Cordelia transformed from manual laborer to entertainer. She was taught how to use her charm and looks by the older girls, learned how to do things such as dance and read the Tarot, and most importantly, how to approach men and know what they wanted. For the past two years, Cordelia worked as Susanna Blue, eventually becoming one of the very few girls remaining, as the others disappeared. Though she had more at this point, she still felt tied down and enslaved, and longed for freedom, excitement and adventure, things that she just loved the thought of, and were things that for her, were worth throwing away money and stability for.

Alright, Scizor it is for her, then! XD It will teach her how to play a bit slower, and anyway, she could still get Drapion as another catch later on...this bug trio can be caught in the Bug-catching contest...sometime before the rematch with Whitney. XD This should probably be the trigger for Emil's Haunter to evolve into a Gengar. XD

Who's the next Gym Leader? XD If it's Morty, Emil should go last and battle Gengar! XD Looking at Morty's PWT team...I think the lineup could possibly be Misdreavus, Lampent and Gengar. This time...Nerissa should probably go first and battle Misdreavus. Something has to trigger her to take a liking towards Misdreavus after all....so that the haunted house episode will have her catch a Misdreavus/Mismagius. XD Stella should get a Froslass...it's way different from her mostly defensive team, but still feminine. XD
