Outskirts of Seven Hills
Two Girls, One Trap

It was so generic that Reisstan felt like deforming the terrain, but none of them were Sorcerers, nor would his anti-environment actions be unnoticed by those white knights patrolling around the place like a bunch of anti-fun moderators. The BDC, all three members, had been camping out in the woods for close to a week now, apparently ostracized from the general player population due to their past actions.

Sure, they stomped on the throats of Assassins in the past, and could be viewed as an elitist Guild who were racist (class-ist?) against ranged and heal-y bastards, but really?

Well, it didn’t matter in the end. Trophy-hunting was going to start up by the end of this day regardless.

“Guess this is going to be our graduation death battle then?” the pale Bard said, hopping off from one of the many generic old-growth trees that plagued the outskirts.

~

The dwarf Paladin spat on the ground as she rose from her squatting position, rolling her eyes as she hefted her halberd.

“Fucking mudak(asshole) weeaboo.” The loli smirked as she stepped forward, an uncharacteristically deep male Russian accent coming out of her mouth. “Guess we don’t have anything better to do for the moment. Can’t even go into town to get Swordsmithing mats. God damn Kings. Won’t even let me kill time by crafting.” The redheaded girl scowled.

The third member of the party sighed, throwing up her hands as she did so. A frying pan was in one of them; the exorcist of the party had been preparing food for the last ten minutes. “Not even that. We can’t even get to the house. That’s messed up. There are civil liberties, jeez.” Lamenting her fortune, she held up the pan again, now filled with eggs from the makeshift fire she’d set up.

“Now, did you want the cardboard eggs or the mush oatmeal?”

~

“I’ll just eat soggy bread. Though I guess they’d all be soggy bread, huh? You regret taking Cook subclass now, Ivy?” Reissten laughed at that overused joke, before rummaging through his own Bag of Holding and bring out something that at least looked like what it tasted like. “Makes me curious though, Intol. How do you even get <Tipsy> if your vodka is just water?”
~

“Fuck you.” Intolerance spat good-naturedly, smirking all the while. “I popped a bottle earlier. Didn’t even feel anything.” She groused, pulling another bottle of vodka out of her own Bag of Holding before starting to chug it down in one go. “See? Nothing but the stupid buff. At least before I could take a shot in real life every time I popped one of these in-game.”

Looking down at her creation distastefully, Ivy tossed the egg toward Reisstan before shotgunning the oatmeal. “Just you wait. I’m going to find some fucking recipe that won’t actually taste like stale crackers.” Making a putrid face, she stood up. “Well, what now?”

“Well, that’ll keep us occupied at least. God knows I could go for a steak and a Guinness. The one thing Britain does right with booze.” The dwarf said, staring at the ground for a moment. “I really want a fucking steak.”

~

Reissten made a face as Intol reminded him of ‘real’ food again. Not even bothering to dodge Ivy’s egg, even if he did sustain 4 points of damage from that ‘projectile weapon’, the Wolf Fang said, “Intol, can you not? Really hard to be content with bread if you talk about steak here.”

“And Ivy, we’re supposed to have our final in-Guild melee, remember? Winner takes all, before we start ganking some Kings?”

~

“Winner takes what? Everyone else’s ass? Because unlike you, I’m missing a fucking dick.” Intolerance snorted irreverently, shaking his head. “And yes, I checked.”

“Nice. Did you fap as well?”

“Go suck your mother’s cock.”

“Go fuck yourself,” Added the Exorcist, butting in between the two.

“I mean,” Reissten smirked, “Should be a very enjoyable situation for you, Intol. Swordsmithing should be very useful as well...”

“Yeah, to shove up your ass.” She twirled her halberd around, leveling the tip at Reissten. “And look at that. Now I’m motivated for your stupid deathmatch. Can we just go gank the Kings already? I’m pretty sure we’ve gotten more practice than them anyway.”

Ivy pointed at Intol with an idle hand. “This. What she said. I want my couch back.”

Reissten sidestepped Intol’s big stick. “If you want your couch back, you COULD just participate in this fight and kill yourself. You still have Seven Hills as your resurrection point, right?”

“Just because I’m an exorcist doesn’t mean I’m a pussy,” she countered.

“Seriously, this is stupid, Reissten. We’ve already practiced on each other enough. And god knows if one of us dies, they’re not getting their money back.”

“Man, you two suck,” Reissten said, sulking. “Fine, let’s go ganking or whatever. Doubt that the bigshots will be milling about at this point though.”

“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe they’re too busy jerking each other off like the assholes they are,” Intolerance snarked as they proceeded to leave.

Ivy scoffed. “Oh boy. It’s like I’m on Reddit again.”

“You probably know what I’m going to say about my past. I will say though, I’m British, and I do plan on going to culinary school. That was pretty on track for me, at least up until now. But we’re not here to talk about my culinary accomplishments, since everything I make tastes like mush or stale cardboard now anyway.

I’ve been playing since the beginning of secondary school, so basically when I was a little shit. As it happened, my older brother gave me the account he got from launch; that’s why I have such a fancy three-letter name. I don’t really remember much about when I was new; it was probably likely that my character died a lot. Probably to stupid things like mice and low-level, twenty second cast time AOEs. I ended up getting fairly on top of things though, and I’d be at level cap pretty quickly after the release of a new expansion pack.

For the most part, I’ve been in-and-out of various guilds, mostly raiding getups, for various reasons. Sometimes they didn’t click. Occasionally, core members would go inactive and the place would fall apart, or on one occasion, there was a spectacular drama that imploded the guild in one day. But all’s good, I made friends, and all my enemies are banned.

As things were, most of the friends I made ended up creating a guild called BDC, started by an androgynous looking kid named Reisstan. I’ve been rolling with them since, and it’s done pretty well for me.”

"I've already gone over it briefly. Since it's infamous enough by this point, I don't feel the need to really elaborate more. Is that alright?"

Build:
Fast Weapon Attack Specialization.

Like a certain other shield-specializing healing class in a similar MMO, Ivy's specialization focuses on exceptionally high DPS output from the healer. More specifically, she uses a sword as a mainhand, and in a very un-magelike manner, goes stabby on somebody’s face in before they can deal a significant amount of damage to her HP pool. As such, the bulk of her regular healing is done in significant amounts of buffing beforehand, or in between lulls in battle.

Spells/Skills:

Cleanse – Basic healing spell.

Sanitize – Removes a single debuff on a target.

Divine Nullification – A long cast spell that creates an invisible barrier for each party member. It takes half a minute to get done, but provides mitigation for 15% of a person’s health and lasts an hour.

Reflective Mitigation – Creates a powerful barrier around the target that counters a single attack and debuffs the attacker of the target's defense for 7%.

Destructive Mitigation – Takes all shields on the caster and fires the conserved energy at a target for the full mitigative potency.

Soul's Reserve - Takes all Shields on target and turns them into a heal for the shielded value.

Emergency Recovery – Shields target for 100% of health, and heals for 50%. Instant cast, but has a one day cooldown.

Emergency Cast – The next skill or spell only takes one second to perform. Takes an hour to cooldown.

Purification Barrier – Simple and dirty 10% damage reduction on a target.

Protective Barrier – Damage mitigation up to 10% on a target.

Degeneration – Reduces an enemy target’s attack and defense by 10% over the course of a minute.

Decisive Exorcism – A slow to cast AOE group heal.

Line Break – The one skill that doesn’t belong to the exorcist skillset. Conveniently enough, it meshes with her sword specialization; it’s a fast jump with a piercing fall. It has a 25% chance of breaking a guard and dealing double damage.

Equipment:

<Tabard of the Unforgotten>
“A sleeved cloth coat made for the last of the Alv royalty, this tabard has withstood the test of time through the ages.”
Artifact-class Robes

A piece of level 85 healing gear. It provides a substantial boost to spellspeed, in addition to providing a base 5% damage mitigation to the party with the wearer of this armor.

Weapons:

<Duelist Archel’s Colichemarde>
“An exceptionally light rapier wielded by the Duelist Archel. It is said to have been the fastest blade in all of Eureddo.”
Phantasmal-class Rapier

A level 85 sword that grants a large addition to agility and evasion. It’s very light and seems to have the weight of an aluminum rod. On hit, it has a 33% chance of slowing an enemy's agility or evasion.

<Forged Steel Frying Pan>
“Created using metals meant for broadswords and heavy weapons, this kitchen tool is unnecessarily strong.”
Production-class

Level 70 one-handed weapon that serves nothing more as a gag joke. It does deal damage though.

Inventory:

<Ivy’s House Keys>
“Keys to an adventurer’s house.”
Allows access to your hard-earned abode.

<Field Cooking Set>
"Necessities for the every-day chef on the road."

Basic cooking equipment that allows for cooking amenities on the go.

@Kimono

Roger. Just want to clarify damage mitigation vs damage reduction first. It pretty much breaks down to preventing damage entirely, or reducing damage. They're different mechanics with the same end effect, but with a place for different scenarios. Let's say Bill has 1000hp. If Ivy mitigates for 15%, it would take 1150 damage to kill Bill. If he takes 150 damage, then the shield eats the damage and is destroyed, with him taking no damage in the end. If she instead reduces 1000 damage for 15%, then Bill only takes 850 damage, but he will always take damage unless he has some other mitigation buff on him.

-Buffed both barriers and degeneration up to 10%

-Changed stats to new system

-I added this just before you posted the review, so you may have missed this: Soul's Reserve - Takes all Shields on target and turns them into a heal for the shielded value.

-Added a new inventory item.

I'll also have to find a theme.
