Current It's been three years since we lost Polymorpheus, a dear friend. It's felt like a lot longer, that time. I still think about Poly every so often, and how I miss them so very much. I won't forget them.

Bio

uhhhh, hi there

I am here and I sorta exist so yes this is my ‘bio’ and it will probably be rather brief and suck and be sloppy, just like me.
So, without further ado..

stuff about me

Most people call me Barti or Bart as well as a few other things since it’s just easier or meaner than the actual thing - I invite you to do so as well.

I’m a 23-year-old (bday June 20th!) Texan who enjoys thunderstorms and rain far too much, and likes anime, running, metal music, and copious amounts of DRUGS candy, among many other cool things - like DnD and MTG.

I enjoy group rps as well as 1x1s. For groups I have what I think is a decent array of interests, most of it being profusely weeb-y. I like Fantasystuffs (Modern especially), supernatural themes, pretty much all Japanese stuff - including historically accurate settings - as well as general dark/grim themes, comedic slice of life trash, academy rps, unique plots, etc. etc. As for 1x1s I pretty much do romance, but I can do non-romantic stuff too if you give me something to work with xP
The only genre I find myself not entirely comfortable with is really sci-fi stuff, but, if the plot/idea catches me enough it can hold my interest. Oh, and my writing level is high casual to low advanced.

I’m a sarcastic, snarky, bipolar-depressed, degenerate garbage can, but generally people seem to like me (I don’t know why in the hot hell you would) - but if you would also like to be my friendo lemme know.
I don’t bite.
Usually owo xd rawr

welppp...I guess that’s okay for now
thanks for reading, you potatoes

Onassis Daisuke




Essentials

Full Name: Onassis Daisuke

Nickname(s): Father, Reverend, Nass.

Gender: Male.

Age: Twenty Nine (29).

Birthday: May 29th.

Affiliation: Isamu.

Written Appearance:
Standing 6’2” in height, Onassis is relatively tall - but not outstanding in physique. He is lean and long, but not overtly thin. Despite being a rather outdoors-loving individual, his skin is quite pale - betraying his partial American heritage - and is also without blemish. His hair is a dirty blonde which he often keeps neat, but not overly combed. His eyes are a chocolatey dark brown.

One might be relatively hard-pressed to find Father Onassis without his vestments or clerical attire at-hand, regardless of most any circumstances.

His set of vestments are black, with simple white symbols running down the middle, confined by a strip of more white stretching down the length on either side. The vestments, which are often accompanied by a stole, are usually worn over the every-day clerical attire, but largely are only donned during planned rituals or events.

His clerical attire is as one would expect from a priest. It consists of his black clerical shirt, covered by a Soutane of the same color, suited at the neck with a wool clerical collar. These garments are also accompanied by black khaki pants, or those of a similar material, and leather shoes, if possible. Occasionally, he will forego his Soutane.

Finally, Father Onassis is never seen without at least one glove on - even if it is not part of his clerical uniform. More specifically - the glove upon his left hand never comes off.




Personal

Personality:
Onassis is a rather amicable individual, many would say. A contemplative neutral face and a largely calm demeanor make for an easily approachable man, and an insightful outlook upon life makes for a well-liked clergyman. These are all very helpful factors in his day-to-day life, as he seems to find himself on the good side of most everyone he meets - even the nonreligious.

Although he can seem like quite a busy individual during the going-ons of his day, Onassis is a fun loving person. He enjoys jokes, friendly pranks, adventures, etc. when he has the time. He especially loves studying different forms of magic and the innovations that they can stir to life.

When it comes to serious manners, the reverend isn’t one to mill about. His main priority is keeping safe those who cannot defend themselves - which coincides well with the Isamu family. Keeping as much peace as possible - even if through preemptive action - is something the priest has sworn his life to. And using violence to stem the growth of violence is something he has come to accept as a way of life within Mahoukyo.

Likes:
Isamu family
Nature
Magic
Studious behavior
Honesty
Rain

Dislikes:
Violence
Dishonesty
Crooks
Injustice

Strengths:
Agreeability -- Onassis is a very amicable individual, often finding it very easy to talk to those around him - a many even confide their secrets in him.
Utility/Flexibility -- Not only is he flexible in his ability to support others in his duty as a priest, but his magic is even moreso flexible - making his assets unpredictable.
Forethought -- Nass is a thinker - and a good one at that. He would rather build out a plan and then act on it than rush into a situation - but that doesn’t mean he won’t if he has to.
Studious -- He believes that knowledge, to an extent, is power. And the more power one holds, the more they can use to defend the ones they love. He’s a very studious person, often reading works on various subjects - his most favorite being magical studies.

Weaknesses:
Too Valiant -- Onassis is very protective of innocents and his peers, even to a point that some would say he is too protective. If he feels they are in danger, he will forego his own safety to ensure theirs, even in the face of guaranteed defeat.
Conflicted -- Although he has accepted violence as a means to prevent future violence, it still weighs on his mind. He will make peace whenever he can - which can cause defeat in some cases due to his hesitation.

Relationships:
Father -- Deceased.
Mother -- His mother is a little on the older side, and lives with a caretaker - though Onassis visits often, as they are close.
Maylis Isamu -- Reverend Nass holds a respect for Maylis. She stands a guardian for her family and welcomes all with open arms, and will defend those she cares for with all her might - a valiant outlook, in the clergyman’s eyes. The two also have more of a relationship than one would think, as Maylis frequents Father Onassis’ church.

Backstory:
  • Onassis had a humble yet comfortable childhood, and was raised by two very loving parents.
  • His mother was a born-resident of Mahoukyo, while his father was American.
  • He took after his mother’s Runecrafting from a young age.
  • Shortly before his father’s passing from heart difficulties, he began to teach his son the inner workings of the church at the age of seventeen - which spurred the young man to look into becoming a priest. He finally accomplished this upon turning twenty five.
  • Now after four years of priesthood, he is a respected member of the congregation and the surrounding community, devoting his life to the benefit of others and the will of the divine.
  • He resides in a modest apartment very close to the church and only a couple blocks from his mother - who lives under a caretaker due to her age.



Magic

Medium - Adept - Capable

Onassis’ magic, following the ways of his mother, is completely expressed through Runecraft. As opposed to channeling magical energies through his body to enforce attacks, he creates and imbues runes using said energy.

As a result, his magical arsenal is very wide - but it takes a significantly longer time to employ these tactics, as he usually has to have runes preprepared, being that they are quite intricate. He does, additionally, still have to research subjects he wishes to integrate into his runes. A flame-throwing rune would require some degree of Pyromantic study, for example. Onassis is well aware of this and can employ a wide variety of knowledge he has studied - though substantially rare subjects will have to be looked into if he wants to use such runes.

His runecraft has a variety of uses, but he is known best amongst Isamu for his use of enchanted clothing - more specifically, gloves. Below are a couple of his creations entailed:




Other

  • Father Onassis’ overclothing, such as his Soutane, have runes on the inside for comfort, so that they do not become too hot or restrictive.
  • His glasses are runed for durability. He is near-sighted.
  • Onassis has studied and practiced several forms of unarmed combat and can use them with efficiency. Some would say this is odd as a priest, but the alternatives are learning to use lethal weapons, so..






Rinishi Kirizaki




Essentials

Full Name: Rinishi Kirizaki

Nickname(s): Rin, Ishi

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Birthday: October 14th

Affiliation: Isamu

Written Appearance: Renishi isn’t a very imposing figure, standing at 5’10” and weighting around 180lbs. His frame is lightly muscled - compact, and nimble. When it comes to style, he doesn’t pay much mind to his own - not that he has explored it much. He generally wears jeans, and a t-shirt under a black hoodie. He also tends to wear a black knitcap, which covers his furry black ears, and a pair of headphones wired to an Ipod which he keeps in his hoodie. And of course, it’s rare for one to find him without his quiver at his back and his compound bow slung over his shoulder.




Personal

Personality: Rinishi is quite a socially awkward individual, due to his upbringing. Having little experience with people outside of his captors and sister, there are certain things he doesn’t understand in some social settings - but he’s not a dull lad, and can usually catch on well enough. Though expressing feelings is something he has always been very bad at.

Also due to his past, he’s a very cautious person. He’s slow to trust others, and doesn’t usually engage in conversation unless spoken to first - and even then it can be difficult to get him talking. He’s not overly introverted, per se, but he may have somewhat of a stranger issue.

His cautiousness carries over into more volatile situations as well. When undertaking missions of any sort, Rinishi is very attentive, valuing patience and planning over any ‘guns blazing’ approach. He prefers to take in a good view of the situation from a vantage point, and provide valuable information to his allies while covering them with his admittedly impressive bowmanship - if stealth is no option. He is not, however, above engaging in melee combat, and is actually quite good at it due to his magic.

Notably, Rinishi’s morals are not what one would expect. Not being raised on the ideals of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in the traditional sense, he doesn’t really seem to mind breaking the law or doing some things others would take great caution in doing.


Likes: Rain, Swimming, Nature, Music, Hunting, Candy, Archery, Climbing, Fruit, Chases.

Dislikes: Loud places, Staying indoors, Most veggies, Loud dogs, Chocolate(makes him vom but he eats it anyways).

Strengths: Quite Athletic, Socially Cautious, Great instincts.

Weaknesses: Socially Inept, Doesn’t handle other magic well, Pretty mundane in power.

Relationships:
Rena Kirizaki - His only known living family member, Rinishi cherishes Rena very much. She is, so far, the only person he opens up to easily - and they are evidently inseparable. He is very protective of her.

Backstory:
  • Rinishi, alongside his sister, were apparently orphans at a young age.
  • They spent a great portion of their lives within some sort of facility, after having been kidnapped.
  • Being that they were so young when taken, the twins have little recollection of anything before their time in the facility. Faint remembrances of unmatched names and faces are all that remain.
  • Scientists subjected him and his sister to several experiments, all with varying degrees of success.
  • At age thirteen, their animals parts had appeared after one experiment. It was deemed a success.
  • They were put into observation for two years before being deemed stable.
  • Subsequently trained for fighting with the goal of making efficient and effective hunters for apparent use in Zero Time scenarios.
  • Members of the facility attempted to brainwash them into being loyal soldiers but failed - but rather noticeably altering Rinishi's ability to trust others.
  • The facility was raided by the Isamu family two months ago. None of the scientists were caught, but Rena and Rinishi were left behind.
  • Maylis decided to let them into Isamu territory while they decide who they will ally themselves to.
  • The twins are currently homeless but squat in Isamu territory.



Magic

Medium - Novice - Talented

Rinishi and his sister are somewhat of an oddity. Due to their experiences, and the experimentations that were afflicted upon them in their past, their magic has seemed to express itself in a rather different manner. For Rin, it comes in the form of a felid likeness - meaning, he possesses the ears, tail, and some behaviors of a cat, even when he isn’t using his magic. His features resemble, more specifically, a melanistic Jaguar.

When is comes to actually using his magic - it takes the form of shapeshifting; Rinishi is able to shape his body into the likeness of other creatures. Unlike his sister, though, Rin finds it much more comfortable to remain in his more humanoid state - and performing a full transformation has so far been impossible for him. This has, however, left him able to train for more minute changes - letting him change multiple parts of his body into different likenesses at once with more fluidity.


  • Felid Likeness
    • Panther’s Habile - Renishi is passively gifted with many traits of the felid known as Panthera Onca. This allows him great aptitude with activities such as running, swimming, and climbing - allowing him to find purchase or speed where others have no hope to. He is also granted the instincts and behaviors of this Panthera.
    • Panther’s Physique - Not only is Renishi granted the aforementioned skills, he also possesses the bodily benefits of Panthera Onca’s strong, compact physique. His strength are speed are enhanced (though still within human constraints), and he retains the impressive balance felines are famous for. Additionally, his senses of sight, smell, and hearing are enhanced beyond human restraints.
  • Shapeshifting
    • Alterforme - Renishi can alter his body to develop features of different animals that he is familiar with. His limbs, skin, organs, etc - however, he is restricted by his knowledge of those animals, and the more of his body he tries to change differently, the more awkwardly his manipulation of those parts are.
    • Liquid Leap - Rinishi’s ability to shift the matter of his body is very rarely used to such a degree that this technique entails. But turning his body, or part of it, into a thin mass of liquid flesh and bone, he can consume a large amount of stamina to reshape himself - for a very short amount of time. This most notably can used to avoid blows that are guaranteed to cause disabling amounts of damage, or to reshape lighter wounds into sound flesh - or even to bypass obstacles in a sticky situation.





Other

  • Due to the processes he was put through during his upbringing, Renishi is very proficient with a bow, able to hit even small targets with accuracy, even while both him and his quarry are moving at speed.
  • He is also trained in martial arts - but a part of him tends to forego this training when he engages in close combat, instead relying more on his instincts.
Was difficult to do this all on mobile, but here we go.

Withdrawn
Raine Provostus


Provostus followed suit as the other two members of their small party began to load themselves onto the elevator.

The decision to not take the servant with their group was one he was comfortable with. Not only would the giant be much less mobile than them, it was easy to notice - and drawing attention isn’t the best way to survive in Yharnam. However, the matter of killing or leaving it was one chosen primarily out of consideration for his more - queasy, party member. He was not sure why he had taken such a detail into consideration when stating his opinion on the matter - but now was not really the time for reflecting upon that. He needed to focus.

He and his companions entered the elevator, Victor first, and himself last, his boots barely making any noise even as he stepped onto the suspended platform. He stepped directly into the middle of the platform, the wide, flat button that sat there depressing into the floor under his weight - causing the intertwining metal hinges of the elevator’s grate-like door to extend to a close behind them. There was a short lurch as the lift kicked into gear, the chains and mechanisms rattling and clacking as they began to rise.

Provostus remained silent as they ascended, adjusting his grip comfortably onto his extended weapon.

Nemorad


Chnk.. Chnk.. Chnk..

A rather tall, wide-shouldered individual rounded the stables at a stroll's pace, his right arm elevated to rest his on the withers of the Appaloosa walking at his side, a decently light saddle sat unaffixed upon its back; the rings and buckles clinking as they moved. The two walked a few more steps as they came to approach the wayside. The Appaloosa was a tall black, with a rear overlay spotting pattern of white, which saturated it up to its hips - as well as making it look like it wore black-speckled socks on each leg. Its mane was black and short, as well as its tail. Its rider gave it a pat on the neck, signaling the majestic animal to stop, as he began to rock the saddle into the right position.

It wasn't long that the two'd been in town - their first morning, actually. The days before arriving they'd rode the countryside at a leisurely pace, though there was a slight air of excitement about the rider. He was fresh to the county, having been on the move for quite a time as he traveled across the West, and had visited just a couple of towns in the county before this one. This one seemed to be one of those towns that was more out of the way - but it had a decent population. And so far, the inhabitants had been more receptive of him than some of the other towns he'd come across - they actually let him buy a room. Not that he really needed a room, but he was once told it is the correct thing to do. Y'know, instead of just standing outside in the middle of the night and waiting 'til morning.

Oddly enough though, as he was leaving his room at one of the smaller inns in town, he'd found a letter slipped under the door addressed to him, a one 'Mister Nemorad'. He'd never received a letter in his life. Hence, you might not be surprised to find that he tore it just a little bit as he tried to carefully open it with his thick wooden digits. Was still legible though, and it inquired of his assistance - something that was not difficult to elicit from him. He soon sought to read said newspaper that the letter had suggested, and was saddened by the unfortunate events that apparently had been plaguing the town.

So of course, he decided it was the best decision to try and help out. Regardless of any financial compensation.

Nemorad finished cinching the rear strap of the saddle, patting the horse on the flanks as he stood straight again to approach its front side, setting his right hand on its withers once more, and beginning to lead it down the street. He'd inquired to the innkeeper before he'd left of the location of Caraway Inn - earning a conflicted look from them, as he'd just done business with their inn - but he received directions nonetheless. And that's where he'd now be headed.



After a while of trotting along, the Appaloosa's soft clopping brought it to the Caraway Inn, alongside its rider. Nemorad led the animal to a nearby patch of grass, before turning away from his companion and walking towards the doors to the inn. To any bystanders it would seem like an ignorant thing, to leave one's horse unattended and untethered - but the Warforged had found that it was a helpless measure with his horse. On more than one occasion the Stallion had chewed right through any leads tied to it - but it never wandered too far from where'd it'd been left. And it wasn't very friendly with people - only its rider, which it recognized easily - so leading it away was a dicey endeavor.

One of Nemorad's rough hands pushed open the door to the inn as he stepped inside, scanning the occupants of the establishment. He received a few looks himself - it could be assumed that Warforged were of a rarer breed than even the dwellers of Forsaken were used to. And even then, one with beast fur upon its shoulders, half a set of horns, and a shining gold star on its peck would be even more bizarre. He turned his gaze to the counter, spotting the innkeep and approaching.

He was just about to speak when the barman eyed him and gave him a nod towards the stairs. "Room 310."

Satisfied with the answer, Nemorad gave an eager 'thumbs up' to the barman and smiled under his faceplate. He then turned to the stairs, and ascended them, a few of the wooden steps emitting a slight creaking as he did so. Soon enough, he reached the second floor and was glad to see that the rooms were clearly labeled. Keeping his head cocked, he glanced up at the number above each room as he passed - eventually coming upon a room with its door open - and apparently quite occupied already. Room 310.

He tentatively coaxed his large stature into the doorway - before promptly realizing that smacking one's horn into the top of the frame was not the most successful way of doing so. He always forgot to make extra clearance. He stooped lower, and stepped in before rising up to his normal height again. If he could make such minute facial expressions(and wasn't wearing a faceplate), one would say he was somewhat embarrassed by his less-than-elegant entrance into the small room with several other people.

"Greetings.." he said to nobody in particular - his voice gravelly yet pronounced, its travel seemingly unaffected by his faceplate - as he scanned those who had arrived before him.
