Yeah, it works either way. If she's accosted she'd use sword arts anyway, unless she knows she's actually killing them.

Up to you, Polaris~

Q - FLUX

Rui-Hai rose early. It was not a common tendency for her; when she had constant stream of work, she slept late and woke late, at times nearing ten to eleven in the morning. But more recently, with the frequency of smaller jobs on the low, she had been able to afford an actual regular sleep cycle. Despite the gradually rising sun, as the blue-haired girl stretched her hands out into the air with a yawn, the flat that she called an apartment was pitch black. The blackout shades she kept around the windows of her home kept light and prying eyes out, just the way she wanted it to be. Despite living on the lower levels of a building in a bad neighborhood, her actual flat was not in a bad way. Clean, serviceable, and tolerable overall, Rui-Hai had little reason to seek better living space.

Finally snapping awake, she began her day with a warm shower and a quick breakfast of fried noodles and leftover fish. As per usual, she only spent a brief moment ‘kitting up,’ drawing from a selection of crisp shirts and the phone. As a token movement, she pulled a handgun from the air, fitting it snugly in the inner pocket of her jacket. Stepping out the door and down the complex’s rancid elevator, she was out on the street just in time for her ride in the form of End’s armored vehicle, where several other Cleaners already sat. Giving token greetings, she spent her ride buried in her personal device.

The transition of scenery was something that she experienced often. Having worked with Courtlandt Holdings, she’d traveled more than once to the posher districts to negotiate her business. Today wouldn’t be anything different.

In the end, even Rui-Hai was left perplexed with the presentation and explanation Cash offered, but she wasn't perturbed. She nodded silently at Vivian’s question; it was entirely valid. In fact, it was such an obvious route to choose that she wondered if Cash tried it and had negative results. Then, a question came into her head. She grimaced, making distasteful face knowing that Sabrina would likely follow up, but so be it.

“Can we confirm what it kills, exactly? Humans and chickens so far. What about pests? Bacteria? Any little thing with eyes? Hell, what about an open door scenario?”

Edged Horizon

Well, depends on what you mean.

I'm not averse to having Charlotte having an extra butler meido, but she seems to already have a job.

Ashes to ashes

Edged Horizon

Charlotte Wittenberg

Name: Charlotte Wittenberg
Age: 35
Gender: Female
Race: Vampire
Nation: Illiserev

Appearance:
Standing at a middling height of 5’ 5”, she has a slim frame to match. She shies away from wearing full length garments, having a tendency to wear short dresses on most occasions. She lets her hair grow long but maintains it meticulously nonetheless. When heavier garments required, she often forgoes proper coats for a thick, long cloak, which can be easily shed when required. Has a light step.

Puts up a reasonable effort in maintaining a human appearance, to an end that she uses illusion magic to do so.

Personality:
Curious, industrious, and hardworking, Charlotte has a relaxed, but sometimes meddling personality. Having an active, eager mind with a need for fulfillment, she likes to travel and see new sights.

Despite being a vampire, she does not shy from parlaying with her fellow Illiserev countrymen, enjoying engaging strangers and striking up friendly conversation over a pint of ale or even on the street. A bit of a busybody, she is a bit invasive in privacy and sometimes even involves herself in affairs that don’t concern her. Possessing high self-confidence and exceptional tolerance for embarrassment, she’s willing to do many things that would make a proper lady faint at the thought of.

Her persona isn’t all rosy, however; Despite her cheery, kind, and laid-back demeanor, she has no problems using slaves as sustenance or killing in cold blood. Nonetheless, she conducts herself safely within the confines of the law.

Having lived in Illiserev for so long, she has adopted much of the customs and mannerisms of its people.

She has a phobia of objects on a grand scale. Large, submerged entities make her uncomfortable, and towering, imposing mecha and rift beasts alike trigger her flight more than her fight instinct.

Biography:

• Part of a branch of vampire nobles of middling importance.
• Lived the depths of Talze Utera at the outbreak of war. Did vampire things.
• Sent to hold down the fort at a property in Illiserev, the rest of her bloodline followed the heed of the Scarlet Court into battle while she acquainted herself with the eccentric hobbies her uncle left behind.
• Found herself alone at the end of the conflict. After mourning her loss for a time, she decided to take the estate she maintained for herself and rebuilt it.
• Having finished her task, she quickly became tired of domestic life, and made it her pastime to disguise herself as a human, gallivanting the land like a vagabond tourist. She often returns to the quaint vineyard to fawn over her maids and butlers nonetheless.

Abilities:

Charlotte is well-versed in blood magic, but never had the opportunity to develop much ground in necromancy beyond its intermediate principles. Living in Illiserev, she has grown used to and prefers using a more standardized field of Sword Arts, keeping her more taboo skills in reserve.

Her Sword Arts aim to destabilize and manipulate the opponent’s flow of battle.

Canter – An attack of middling speed and uneven pace that condenses and shifts the weight of her blade at the moment of impact with a depressive, backwards felt blow that is felt in the eardrums. A connecting blow dulls the senses and throws the body off balance, impairing their response time.

Depress – Charlotte slashes her sword at an arc at the enemy, channeling energy through the edges of the weapon. Magic disperses in an outward vector pattern into the atmosphere around her, giving the enemy a feeling of overbearing weight while rejuvenating herself.

Royal Set In/Set Out - A sudden crack of mana allows Charlotte to near instantly engage with an opening strike from a distance. Alternatively, she can near instantly parry and rapidly disengage, opening a wide distance between her and her opponent. Exceptionally exerting, she would be playing a defensive dance over the next few exchanges upon using this art.

Scarlet Whip – Blood magic. Charlotte draws a string from a proper blood source. She maintains its form in a razor-sharp manner to strike at the enemy as an auxiliary or primary weapon.

Blood Sphere – Blood magic. Charlotte forms a condensed sphere of blood near her body. It rotates rapidly, spinning off drops of blood that harden into sharp bullets that shoot at her targets like a Gatling weapon.

Important Items:
Talentium Side-sword – She doesn’t care about the naming symbolism shit. A light, easy to handle weapon that allows for flexibility in sword techniques. Charlotte’s style of attack allows it to scale up well in matching heavier weapons such as great swords and longswords.

That don't mean I don't want to know. Come on, just give me a short history lesson.

@Lord of Evil

There was pain and suffering.

Edged Horizon

Right so what's sketchy about a dog? Also keep in mind it's not a regular dog, he's a pc on the level of everyone else except in dog shape.

Also you never did answer my question on how this game can do bards.

@Jerkchicken

Dude. A fucking dog.

That's like me going into an Ace Combat RP and wanting to roleplay a fort.

Indeed. I will never deny being a horrible person. It's an image I've had saved for a while, too bad I had to ruin it.

<Snipped quote by ERode>

If someone has a whole lot of slaves, one trying to escape might give the rest ideas. A permanent and very visual message would get the point across. Since she was less valuable afterwards then it also wouldn't matter if she were treated badly and given harsher punishments.

<Snipped quote by ERode>
Natala is free now and has worked hard to earn that. In her eyes other people are less important, having been born into freedom.

<Snipped quote by ERode>
I guess it's more of a talent for mimicry. If she watches something done just a couple of times she can replicate it. With a language though she could repeat phrases flawlessly but wouldn't have any idea of the meaning or syntax unless it was explained. This ability would apply to anything she is physically capable of and is how she learned to use a sword to begin with.

<Snipped quote by ERode>
That's right. In hindsight it might be a little below the power level of others but it does have plenty of utility.

@TheFake

0/10 would not sell or buy slaves from

Guess I'll make Lyra's big sis, Lyna, and give her superior magic and a personality that's not like a rock.
