Absolver Bo (WIP)

Absolver Bo

Bo's healthy tan complexion is a result of enjoying the outdoors a little more than most. She has a kind, friendly look in green, bespectacled eyes. At 5'2", Bo's a bit of a shorty. Typically she's adorned in copious amounts of finest imported white silk, gold and gemstones. Her long, wavy, dark red hair is filled with tiny glistening stars, which nestle sweetly around her slender naked shoulders. The robe's large collar draws attention to the large Church crest, an unimaginatively rectangular lantern housing a roaring flame, thats branded front and centre across the chest. The detached sleeves flare and engorge wildly at the cuffs to match the oversized collar and are bolted closed by gaudy, highly decorative cufflinks and the absurd robe has a mermaid hemline to match.

Abilities

While Bo has no capacity for conjuring and spellcraft, through her diligence in her servitude and her love for her fellow men, she has gained special favour with Shezmu, the God of the Lighthouse. Using prayer, hymns and reciting scripture to focus her faith, Bo can ask small miracles of Shezmu, typically of the cleansing, movement and fire variety. Despite never having achieved anything much more impressive than removing curses and lightening burdens, Bo is convinced that all things are possible through Shezmu.

Bo has always been a talented singer and has been a part of the church choir for as long as she can remember. You'd be forgiven for not thinking she didn't until you heard it, due to her common as muck accent.

Bo's capacity for planning ahead and excuting said plans is, well, godly. Bo's cautious optimism is perfect for predicting problems, exposing flaws and also fixing them. God help those she encounters when she doesn't have a plan...

Starting Gear

Absolver's Garb - Robe
This highly decorative robe offers no special protections or bonuses to attributes, its only purpose is to advertise the wealth of the Church.

Dawn - Cleric Foci
An ornate hand lantern housing a flame lit with a spark from the Great Blaze. While the hand lantern is unremarkable and in serious need of repair, the fire within burns as passionately as when it was first lit. Parts of the lantern that shouldn't be moving are dangerously loose and parts that should were worryingly stiff. The glass protecting the flame from the elements had lost its crystal clear finish giving the lantern a new foggy warm glow, that Bo honestly admits is preferable.

The Light - Spellbook
A Holy Tome that catalogs the history of the world, the true nature of the Light, the character of the Gods and their Prophets and the seperation of the Church of Divine Fire from the Othodoxy. The book is bound in now cracked leather and some of its corners protected with patterned gold. Attached to the spine is long chain, that has long since lost its lustre, so it can be worn over the shoulder so that the book rests on the hip. The pages are in far worse condition than she remembered leaving it, many of them fragile but still fulfils its function as a remind of the Sacred Stories and Songs.

Prayer Guidance
This much newer book contains not just moral guidance, creed, rituals and hymns but detailed information on how members of the church should perform their tasks, speak to the citizenry, speak to their superiors, common apologetics for non-believers and rival churches and ultimately how to assist in the continued success of the Church of Divine Fire. Bo's particular Prayer Guidance book is tailored to her role as an Absolver which is more clerical in both meanings of the word than you'd might expect. Also possesses a chain so it can be worn and carried everywhere. Its survived better than "The Light" and is actually still legible.

Bo's Books
A collection of half filled, professionally bound pages for work, thoughts and ideas scorched immaculately into its pages. These personal logs are attached Prayer Guidance with some unremarkable cord.

Personality/Goals

As an absolver, Bo got to see the aftermath of some of the less than savoury aspects of the Churches activity. In the back of her mind, doubts about her churches intentions built and this brewing animosity towards the upper echelons encouraged her to seek out the true history of the Church and the pure "Old Ways" that would be required to put the Church back on Shezmu's intended path.

Compassionate, outgoing and faithful to a fault, Bo was the perfect choice for the role of Absolver.

Backstory

Port Durmaho is a thriving port city, sprawling magnificently across the coast. Huge, highly decorated, Gothic architecture dominates the skyline, but none so much as The Counting House, The Cathedral of the Divine Fire and The Lighthouse.

The Great Blaze sits a top Port Durnmaho, and is tended to by the Church of Divine Fire. Before The Providence, Durnmaho was a tiny village situated in a desperately foggy coastal inlet. The story goes that after a string of stormy nights Shezmu took pity on the dying village. From the sea he picked one of his favoured creatures, the Colossal Narwhal, and borrowing from the strength of the ocean, threw it upon the tallest, outer most stack before striking it with an incredible bolt of lightning. The beast burnt for 19 days. It lighted the way for some of the most successful hauls ever recorded to date and although Shezmu's gift eventually died out, a spark was saved by the village's diminutive church. This same spark was later used to kindle the lighthouse built 3 years later in Shezmu's honour. In reverence to the great feat performed by the first priests of the Divine Fire, each member keeps with them their own spark of the Great Blaze they tend to and maintain.

Battlemage CYOA Arena

For the last few days I have been having a dreadful amount of fun playing with this CYOA I figured it might be fun to not just share it with you lovely people but also to pit you against each other to find the ultimate combination of player and build, very interested to see what people come up with and very interesting to see how it performs!

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2 iCheck

@ColouredCyan - I'll get a PM sent your way with some thoughts on your girl.

@Omega Man

Cool, please get back to me soon, I would very much like to join this RP.

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2 iCheck

@ColouredCyan
The basic idea is that each mission is an 'episode', as though the RP is a TV series. In the original RP, four episodes ran at a time each with a team of about four, with a fifth episode containing everyone. As explained in the OP, episode one will contain everyone while episodes two and three will contain half the cast, with both running at the same time. Hope that explains it.

@Simple Unicycle

That's a really nice way to manage a large group.

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2 iCheck

Is there any chance we could abandon the whole episode format? I very much feel us as players can't create or introduce much, only react to what you introduce.

@Unknown100

For us newbs, could you tell me more about the episode format? How does it differ from a more typical RP?

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2 iCheck

@Omega Man, Mind if I adapt a character from another RP? I never got to play her.

Michelle Diggby

Name: Michelle Diggby

Alias: Ragnarok (Old)

Age: 27

Personality: Passionate, Extroverted, Risk Taker, Positive, Short-fused

Archetype: Metahuman

Powers & Weaknesses: (Patho)Telekinesis - Michelle borrows kinetic energy from the environment and redirects it to other targets, however its not done through conscious thought and careful consideration but emotions. The intensity of such feelings dictates the range of both the kinetic energy can be stolen at and reproduced, and how efficient the conversion is. This limits what can be effected by her powers, objects she can't or don't have feelings about are immune to her powers, e.g. Stuff she doesn't care or know about, objects she can't perceive because they are invisible or moving too fast.

Appearance: Shelly is 5'3" with curly shoulder length dark brown hair, usually tied up behind her right ear with an aging, but still functioning, fluffy Miffy scrunchy. Exceptionally dark green eyes adorn her tan face, dark enough that without good light its tough to see where pupil ends and iris begins. An innocent button nose betrays her age, however her personality will set you straight again.
Day-to-day Wardrobe: Comfy Clothes or Business Casual, depending on the situation.
Costume: Domino Mask and Large Poncho.

Character Evolution: Gain more control of her powers. Become a better hero.

BRIEF Bio: Michelle is an Office Administrator for a small tech company based in Gotham, and she'd tell you there was little remarkable about her, just a downtown girl trying to make ends meet. Ragnarok however would've describe herself as a "retired" "supervillian", by "retired" she means narrowly escaped capture from the Teen Titans and by "supervillian" she means superpowered teen pushing her luck attempting to satisfy her own selfish desires. After a particularly close encounter, a haitus from villianry became very enticing. A short haitus became a career in Admin, rent and food wasn't going to pay for itself.

Notes:

Sample Post:
Shelly was not in her office anymore, she knew this because her office did not possess several gigantic holo-displays as much as the tech boys desperately wanted them. They didn't have a huge desk either, they didn't have a single room big enough for it, and certainly not one emblazed with the Justice League logo...on...it. The panic set in slowly, her mind still reeling from trying to process being teleported, had she finally been caught? Had her past attempted crimes finally caught up with her? Her heart began to race and her senses began to heighten as the adrenaline began to course though her body. Which door where they going to strut smugly though? Was she going to give them a chance to monolog? Could she even? There was so little moving in this room to borrow from, maybe thats why they picked it! Shelly slunk to back the room, grip tightening around her stapler. Any moment now...

"Beep", Shelly whispered as she jabbed the door button. It shone red again for an instant before fading back to nothing. This was worse than the bus to work, more torturous than that old crappy fax machine, on par with the doctors!Shelly sighed. Waiting is torture.

"Beep"
"Beep"
"Beep"

Suddenly, a devious thought raced across her mind. It had taken Shelly long enough, but she hatched a brilliant plan. Shelly laboured her breathing, pretended her eyes were getting heavy,and pushed the open door with less and less gusto. Each "Beep" became further and further apart, until she hadn't the strength to even hold herself up. Shelly slumped by the door just under the switches, eyes closed, pretending to be critically ill with something that might get them to act a little quicker. The perfect ruse. Time past, not a lot of time, but enough for the Great Firebrand Ragnorok to encounter a gaping flaw in her masterplan, now she couldn't even entertain herself pressing the button.Beep. Nope, it wasn't the same without the flash of scarlet. It was something though.

Beep.
