QT said Interested?

AM I???

I just want an RP where I can be the hopelessly romantic and horribly unprepared zombie survivor I was always meant to be.

@VitaVitaAR
Not sure what you'd like me to change then? For biological reasons, it could just be that Nem mixed race babies come out the size of normal Nem and just get bigger as they grow.

For Luck magic, it'd be less 'i come up with a random thing on the spot' and more, I make a list of a few level appropriate attacks, buffs, debuffs, and maybe something silly, like falling asleep or getting like cake to the face or something, and then I roll. I could PM you the lists and rolls if you think I'd be trying to exploit it or something.

@Santa
Why didn't you just give him a bag of holding?

Murder: When The Corpses Cry

Plz tell if something's wrong.

---

Appearance:

Brigette

Yo, this is some messed-up shit Gummi.

Name: Maman Brigitte Ghede, 'Brigitte'
Age: Technically ageless, her current incarnation and human shell is about 25

Gender: Female

Canon: Mythology, Ghede loa (Syncretic Religions, Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo)

Personality: Crass and perpetually buzzed. Brigitte is actually the one who came up with the idea that she and some of the other Loa should participate in the 'game' of inhabiting human bodies and seeing what they could get up to. Brigitte is not a technical thinker, instead rely on creative solutions to problems both major and mundane. She isn't a deep thinker and enjoys living in the now, drinking her spicy rum and reveling in the traditions of Old Voodoo. Brigitte has a devil may care attitude, curses like a sailor and is promiscuous, as well as protective of the dead.

Abilities:Brigitte is a powerful death spirit (Ghede Loa) possessing a human host. While in the human realm, her powers are significantly weakened and she is limited by the frailty of the human body. That being said, she is an incredibly strong death spirit, with quite a following in places where Voudou is practiced, as such, she has fairly strong magical and spiritual abilities in the human realm that she carries over from her own plane of existence and worship. She possesses basic pyromancy and necromancy, using the abilities costs her a great deal, and she can't really focus on much else when she uses these supernatural powers.

As a Loa of the dead, Brigitte can detect the presence of ghosts. She can cast her spiritual form out of her human body and into the body of a lesser minded being (animal), temporarily, at a great cost to her human vessel.

Item of Importance: A flask filled with rum infused with hot peppers.

Appearance:

Mr. Cross

Yo, this is some messed-up shit Gummi-- TWICE, for good measure.

Name: Baron La Croix Ghede, 'Mr. Lakwa'
Age: Technically ageless, his current incarnation and possessed human shell is about 45
Gender: Male

Canon: Mythology, Ghede loa (Syncretic Religions, Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo)

Personality: Mr. Lakwa is one suave motherfucker. Like his sister spirit Brigitte, he can be quite crass at times, but to contrast this, he is also the height of class and culture. Mr. Lakwa is sophisticated and has a debonair air about him, dressing in suits and speaking French-Creole accented English, he is never far away from a glass of bourbon and a fine cigar. An expert on death and the protection of deceased spirits, Lakwa is an existentialist and believes life and death to be humorous and absurd. He prefers to focus on extreme individuality and getting as much enjoyment out of life as possible.

Abilities: Like Brigitte, Mr. Lakwa is a powerful death spirit (Ghede Loa) possessing a human host. While in the human realm, his powers are significantly weakened and he is limited by the frailty of the human body. Mr. Lakwa is significantly weaker than Brigitte in raw magical and spiritual energy, but his human body is physically stronger than hers. He is also much more cunning than her, skilled in the manipulation of people and the use of his speech, bribery and sexuality in getting people to do what he wants.

As a Loa of the dead and sexuality, Mr. Lakwa can detect the presence of ghosts and can sense sexual energy. He can cast his spiritual form out of his human body and into the body of a lesser minded being (animal), temporarily, at a great cost to him.

Item of Importance: On his suit is a heavily stylized cross that serves both as a pin, and a very small container for a lethal poison. The cross is platinum, silver and is covered in diamonds.

VitaVitaAR said @Darcs: Okay, um... while I'm willing for there to be some dark things happening, rape is a subject I like to avoid in my RP's. It's a sensitive topic and I'm honestly very wary of including it in any way. The only times I would ever accept it is if it was from a canon in a crossover or canon RP and I absolutely knew it was handled well there.

Changed the rape to her father just leaving her mother after a consensual relationship, more tame, less angering, but you make fair points.

VitaVitaAR said I also wasn't sure if it would be relevant, but I honestly hadn't decided if Nem are capable of reproducing with other races. They're so small that I thought it would pose an obstacle to actually having a child like that.

I was going by broad fantasy rules where generally humanoid things can have sex with other generally humanoid things and the relationship can generally result in a child. I can make her half-Elf half-Human, but I'd rather not, I really wasn't feeling it.

VitaVitaAR said Finally, I'm a little wary of her abilities since they seem to amount to entirely random events whenever used. It's hard to judge something like that.

I want to make a list of unique possibilities every time she uses her connection to Chaos Magic and roll actual die to see what happens. 1-6 and 1-20 would be my go to numbers, but as things get more challenging maybe I increase the roll and with it the negative possibilities, including death.

I could run the lists of possibilities by you to keep things as fair as possible.

(I also had an idea for a dungeon where the main enemies have been corrupted by this magic, and they have just as of a chance when attacking to put themselves to sleep as the do to cast a bolt of lightening.)

The Bastardess

"Ah yes! I know Lady Luck quite well. She is not a stranger to me... or my bed."

---

Name:Isi Eno
Age: 58
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Human/Half-Wood Elf
Class: Witch (High Priestess of Chaos Magic)

Appearance:
Isi, standing at about 5'10'' much taller than her mother, but also quite a bit shorter than her Wood Elf father. Her tan complexion comes close to the bronze of her Elven father and tans quite well. Her eyes come from her father also, but the raven black hair she shows is identical to that of her mother. Her lithe and almost androgynous figure is a perfect mixture of the skinny and fragile physique of her late mother and the athletic and lean tree dwelling Wood Elf form. Her hair is always kept short and wild and her gaze is always impish, depending on the angle you approach her from, you may have difficulty determining whether she is male or female.

Personality: If you wanted to quickly sum up Isi's personality, you could do so in two words "fuck it." Isi is something of a subjectivist and takes very little aside from her own pleasure and the well being of those she is close to, to be important. While not particularly lazy, Isi can't be spurred into action unless she is convinced that she'd in some way gain pleasure from doing something. She believes her actions are ultimately for the best for the realm, but she sees her own finite experience as above that of the futures of people she will never meet. Despite herself, she still hopes, one day, to kill her father.

She is a hedonist, an epicurean, and just a tad bit of Cynic in a way resembling Diogenes. She thinks people have a tendency to over complicate things, and that Velt is country too focused on saving material wealth for the future that people can't see the enjoyment of the present. Isi does not fear death and sees little value in the preservation of life for the purpose of living, instead preferring to do exactly whatever it is she wants in the moment with little concern for whatever consequences may follow. She does not see the Faith of the Fair Lady as a cult or a religion, but instead a philosophy asking those it touches to accept the unknown and to live for the enjoyment of the now. She is a deep thinker, and may surprise her companions with extremely insightful observations and statements out of nowhere. Her attitude, combined with her tendency to view societal norms as pointless can lead her into trouble, particularly in theft and (wo)manizing.

Though not overly strong, she does have a slight southern Nem accent, and still has trouble pronouncing her 'b's.

Brief Backstory: Isi was born a bastard born from the brief affair between a Wood Elf wanderer and a Human peasant, living in a desert town heavily populated by the Nem. Her mother did try to care for her infant daughter for several years before dying, of causes that seemed natural-- but Isi concludes it was brought on by a broken heart. Isi's mother died when she was very young, but the woman still has vivid memories about her, and still very much resents her death.Life as an orphan for the toddler was extremely harsh, especially considering her differences from all the Nem children around her.

At some point in the months following the death of her mother, she was adopted by a group of missionaries from Velt, apparently members of the small faith/cult that was 'The Faith of the Fair Lady of Fate.' The years that followed were based largely around their secretive forest temple, with Isi serving odd jobs and growing into the belief, shifting from a guard, cook, carpenter, and eventually even a nun, form there she worked her way up to the rank of high priestess within the faith.

While she would make runs to surrounding villages and cities on missionary runs and procurement missions as she rose through the ranks, she could never get particularly close, as attitudes from the Witch Wars meant her worship of a minor deity would be seen as heresy. As a high priestess, she makes her own way in the name of the Fair Lady, and apparently she sees what she does now as the best way to spread the messages and teachings of her Goddess.

(More to be added IC)

Equipment: Aside from the stylized armor of The Fair Lady of Luck, her lucky green cloak, her guard spear and her (various) concealed coin purses, Isi doesn't carry much on her. Her religion forbids it, carrying too much alters the odds of life.

Abilities: Isi is about as close as you can become to a "Master" in the art of Gambling with the will of the Gods and the Universe-- or as it's more colloquially known, "Chaos Magic." Her body serves as a direct link and vessel for the erratic will of the unknown, primarily the spirit Hexea, a spirit of dead stars in the 'Faith of the Fair Lady of Fate'. However the residual screams of cosmic horrors that the sentient can not comprehend and perhaps scientific laws in the universe and reality that create what we see as 'chance' also heavily influence her magic.

She is a witch, and relies on the will of her patron spirit to grant her hexs, jinxes, curses and other buffs/debuffs.

---

Kaos Magyka explained: She can use her magic in two ways-- either by exposing her blood to the air and summoning forth the energy herself or through the use of practiced Chaos magic rituals, invoked through chants, sigils, sacrifice, and the occasional creation of a poultice or brew. Both of these types of magic wager her life force against the power she summons from the supernatural, spirits and ghosts she's made pacts with, cosmic entropic background noise, and the Fair Lady Luck herself. Using Blood magic to summon Chaos magic is faster, but is much weaker and comes at a greater physical toll.

Most of the abilities she can summon are dependent on the moods of the Gods and completely situational environmental factors, making them appear random or without purpose in the moment. However she is practiced in their use, and knows, generally, what she needs to ask from the unknown forces in a moments notice. While she has gifts from all the forces of the immaterial world, most of her magic comes from a singular entity she's made a bargain with-- this entity is Hexea, her patron spirit, representative of dead and unseen stars.

Hexea grants abilities to Isi that are mostly curse based, focusing more on harming opponents through the evil eye, jinxing, hindrance and attrition. Proper rituals cast spells that debuff foes, with a few buffing her own party. Blood magic comes less from Hexea and more from the unknown and cast darker, more attack based magic-- it hurts Isi as well as opponents and it's use corrupts her soul and physical form.

---

Along with that, years of guard duty have left her with some skills in the use of her spear, and she can infuse spear based attacks with Chaos Magic. She is skilled at gambling in battle as well as outside of it and is skilled at improvisation with little in the way of supplies and time. While she isn't a socially butterfly, she has a way with people, especially women, and can usually get what she wants from them. If all else fails, she is also very agile and fast, thanks to her Wood Elf lineage, this, of course, leaves her vulnerable to a strong hit, though.

The Sloth of Fallen Dawn: Enemies feel encumbered and burdened and move slower

Dead star's gift: A chant that temporarily boosts the movement speed of Isi and her allies

Blood magic:

Greetings from Puerto Libre!!

James laid his accent on thick as his smile grew impossibly wide, "Well, Jyenny..."

Che groans, muttering to himself, "Ugh, Sirène help me..." knowing what came next, he covered his eyes in anticipation and pre-embarrasement.

James stands, almost instantly unbuttoning his shirt to allow it to resemble a cape, placing a foot on Princess' sleeping head, he struck a Captain Morgan pose. "I!" He winked at the groaning Che, "AM JAMES GARCIA PEDRO ROSARIO SANTIAGO." He leaned in close to Jenny, "I'd offer you a rose, but it'd only wilt in comparison to your staggering beauty..."

Che perked up at this, "Christ, Jim, really?"

"What Chewwy?" James glanced Jenny's features over, "She's not legal?"

"It's not even..." Che gripped the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Look, bro, can we not do this today? They just got here, I just got up, we're all tired..."

After a brief stare down between the brothers, James responded, "BAHH!" he fell back down, sitting on Princess' sleeping body, he crossed his legs and his arms, "Boring as always Chewwy, I was just having a little fun with the new kids..."

Letting out a yawn in response, Che turned to Jenny, "He's not as creepy once he sobers up, I promise." There was a hesitation in his voice, as if even he wasn't sure that was true, "And to answer your question, she's uhh... well, she's Princess." He gestured toward the old and battered woman sleeping beneath James, "She's not actually a Princess... obviously. But it's more than just a clever nickname. She's one of the few direct descendents of island royalty who don't hide away on the atoll... She'd actually be a..." He thought for a second, "Duchess, or like a Countess, or something." Addressing the group as a whole, he finished, "You guys'll find out a ton of weird stuff like that all year. Y'know, if they were a commodity, I think our little island would export secrets."

Cara's Originally Titled OoC Hangout Thread ♥ (Still)

Yeah this isn't great. All my RPs are dying and more and more people are leaving. It's a weird dogmatic loyalty, but I feel like I've been here too long to just leave because the site is being lethargic. It's less like going down with your ship, because I still believe things will get better later, it's more like watching a family member sick in the hospital.

Which I find symbolic, and maybe a little ironic relative to my life, because I've been in a hospital for the past 3 days with my great grandmother (broken hip).

I don't have all the information I'd need to make the most informed analysis, but I feel like the difference here is that the website downs would stop being a problem if mahzy mahz let some of us donate for a better server maybe?
