Academy of Noble Arms - Reboot (With gratitude to TheHangedMan)

"Saved a town? No, but I've tangled with my share of monsters." Drake said, crossing his arms. People seemed to like showing off their Arms around here, made evident when Xris followed up his introduction by doing just that. Apparently he could make copies of himself. Some kind of Strength in Numbers power? Personally, Drake preferred having strength in himself rather than in numbers, but it was all just preference at the end of the day. And then the tomboy spoke up, questioning Drake's ability to back up his claim before, of course, showing off her own Noble Arm.

But the third guy to speak elected not to present his Noble Arm. He instead questioned the logic of announcing a presumably top secret assignment to one's classmates, which admittedly was a valid point. Drake spent some time listening, especially to Carsi's eventual reply. That was when got his chance to speak up again and he didn't hesitate. Drake rarely ever did. "I'm sorry, run that by me again? A raffle?" he cocked an eyebrow, a look of confusion appearing on his face, "The security of the President herself... and it's determined by random luck? What kind of sense does that make? Why not choose the team based on ability level or on skillset specifics?" maybe Carsi also realized this and that was why he was inclined to simply arrange the raffle regardless of the outcome?

But Drake would be a liar if he claimed not to be somewhat interested in the prospect of kicking some Disabler ass. His last encounter with them went well enough for him, but what he really needed was chance to cut loose and properly gauge just what he was capable of. He clenched a fist and smirked, but rather than join in on the Noble Arms show-and-tell he just reached for his coffee and took another drink. Despite being the first to speak up and being one to declare himself a hero, Drake elected not to display his Noble Arm, "Oh I'm sorry, I guess this is the part where I was supposed to show everyone my Noble Arm? Drawing your weapon and waving it around when there's no battle taking place isn't what I'd call very good heroic conduct. And besides... I just hate the idea of giving away spoilers." that last part he said with a quick and playful wink.

@Double, Thanks! Can we talk on Discord, btw?

@Letter Bee

It's kind of late for me right now so I don't think I can.

@Letter Bee Character is effectively done now. Bio could probably be expanded but the most important stuff is there for now at least.

Noel

Character Sheet
Name: Noel Lupin
Appearance:

Bio:
Noel was raised on stories of his great ancestor. While he enjoyed them and even idolized Lupin as a boy, the older he gets the more he attempted to distance himself from the Lupin Legacy. Gentleman or not, at the end of the day Lupin was a thief and a criminal, and Noel found it difficult to take much pride in that fact. Still, he learned the tricks and kept up the training through his teen years if for no other reason than to try and be a good son for his parents. But when he turned 18, Noel left home, with no intention of returning. He'd been bequeathed the Calling Card by then but Noel had already made it clear he had no real interest in using it. In truth he wanted freedom more than anything else. For two years he lived on his own, under an assumed name and far away from his family and it's Legacy.

Eventually, though, he learned of his family home being targeted. The Mask Collection was cleaned out, and the culprit remained at large. The Global Police even showed little interest in tracking the culprit down, the Masks themselves had originally been stolen by Lupin during his day so they had no real motivation to investigate. This is what convinced Noel to return home. He was still hesitant to wear the label of Phantom Thief, but when his parents were discovered to be MIA and the family home inhabited by black shadowy creatures... at the very least Noel wanted to save his parents if they were in danger. And if he just so happened to recover the Masks and showed up the Global Police along the way then so be it.
Age: 20
Skills: A descendant of Lupin, Noel is versed in a few of the great thief's many tricks. Scaling walls, speed, agility, all of it part and parcel for one who has been learning the trade. Noel's stance is a bit strange though, unlike most who wield the Keyblade he holds the weapon with a backhanded grip. While this reduces the weapon's reach a bit, it does allow for swifter attacks in exchange. As with most Keyblades, the Calling Card can be used for casting magic as well, though Noel doesn't seem particularly fond of that tactic. Instead he prefers techniques that allow him to cloak himself in flame or lightning before diving forward, Surge attacks they are often called. He's also been known to coat the blade in Light to empower it for a flurry of blows. Even throwing the weapon isn't out of the question, either, it's nature of being summoned back to his hand makes this a particularly favorable strategy.
Personality:
At most times, Noel does his best to keep up a certain charming persona. After all, a good Phantom Thief must a gentlemen in most respects. So treats other people politely, even when they are his bitter enemies, and has even been known to actually compliment someone he is fighting against in the heat of battle. Most of it is facade of sorts, in truth Noel is just trying to be what people imagine the ideal Phantom Thief to be. Underneath that, he's just another guy, and one who at time seems to have been reluctant to step into his role as Lupin's descendant.

Shadows of France

World Sheet
Name: Shadows of France
Summary of History: A world where fabled thief Arsene Lupin was not just a story. In this world, Lupin made a name for himself as a legendary Phantom Thief. There was no door he could not open, no safe he could not crack. His secret? Lupin carried a mysterious key-shaped sword with magical properties. Throughout his exploits, Lupin amassed a collection of masks imbued with the ability to grant powers to whoever wears them. These masks, combined with his Keyblade, made Lupin impossible to catch. Even when the Moogles began supplying the Global Police with magitech in the hopes of matching him, Lupin still managed to outwit them at every turn. Whether he was a hero or a menace depended on who you asked.

In the present day, Lupin's collection of masks mysteriously vanish overnight. Their whereabouts completely unknown, the task of retrieving them falls to Noel, a young descendant of the great Lupin himself and inheritor of Lupin's greatest legacy: the Keyblade.
Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): The Global Police is a unique agency that specializes in international crime and the capture of globally wanted criminals. They are also armed with advanced magitech gear thanks to their recent contracts with the Moogles. This was done in the hopes that the magitech gear would give them a counter to Lupin's Keyblade.
Overall Technology Level: Roughly like present day, but with the addition of certain magitech prototypes issued to elite members of the Global Police.
Map: Optional; don't hesitate to add your world just because you don't yet have a map!

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

Justin

Name:
Justinian Octavius. Typically introduces himself merely as Justin.

Race:
Imperial

Gender:
Male

Age:
30

Appearance:


Personality:
A pragmatic individual, if nothing else. Justin only really cares about one thing: getting the job done. How that is achieved is of no consequence to him. This gives him the distinct persona of a chessmaster tactician with the self-proclaimed ability to make tactical choices that none other would be willing to make. Sometimes that might mean putting himself in danger, and sometimes it might mean sending another to their death. It's all the same to Justin, so long as the mission is accomplished in the end. Despite such an icy and thorny exterior, Justin can also be surprisingly charming and silver-tongued when he needs to be. Those moments tend to be a facade more often than not, him treating it just another tool in his arsenal. At times it's downright impossible to tell what kind of man Justin really is, as it is often buried beneath layer after layer of masks, facades, and aliases.

Class:
Agent
~Major Skills~
Blade, Marksman, Speechcraft
~Minor Skills~
Light Armor, Sneak, Security, Survival (hunting, foraging, camping, tracking, etc)

Equipment:
Crossbow, quiver of bolts, standard camping gear, Studded Leather/Hide armor, and an Akaviri Dai-Katana of all things.

History:
Born in Bruma as the son of Captain Belisarius Octavius of the Blades, Justin almost immediately found himself living in a dark shadow with impossibly big shoes to inevitably have to fill. His father was a stalwart military man, a former legionary before joining the Blades in search of a higher purpose. Belisarius's service to the Blades and to the Septim Dynasty was well known in the County of Bruma. But after receiving a crippling injury during the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius had no choice but to hang up his blade and retire from service. When the Blades locked the gates of Cloud Ruler Temple, Belisarius relocated his family to the temple where he could see them protected while also overseeing the training of the fresh recruits. Even as a retired veteran of the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius commanded respect and was still more than capable of barking orders to the new recruits. It was during this time that Justin was soon born, and was groomed almost from the start to eventually claim his father's place in the Blades. But growing up in isolation, Justin could look down at the town of Bruma, not allowed to actually venture down for a visit. He began to long for freedom and soon found himself arguing with his father almost constantly about the subject.

Belisarius eventually grew ill however, and when he finally passed away, Justin saw not the death of his father but a chance to finally get his freedom. Over the course of his young adult years, Justin became increasingly jaded and cynical toward the cause of the Blades. He also began to think it foolish of them to just sit around and wait for a new Dragonborn Emperor, when the Empire needed them now. So after his father's death, in a daring move Justin stole his father's sword and fled from Cloud Ruler Temple. He spent the next few years as a wandering vagrant, living mostly in self-sufficiency in the countryside while only occasionally paying the towns a visit where absolutely necessary, all while avoiding the Bruma area like the plague. Eventually he found himself in the Skingrad County, wherein he soon enough found himself in the employ of the Skingrad Company.

@Double, Btw, what's your opinion on replacing Persona 4 with Persona 5, assuming you've finished the game already?

@Letter Bee

I still haven't actually finished it, but at this point it's looking less and less likely that I'll ever be able to since I just don't have the time to devote to such a long game.

Cybertron Wasteland (Transformers)

Cybertron... has fallen. Cycles of endless war between the Autobots and Decepticons have drained the planet of its most precious resource: Energon. When the mines began to dry up, the leaders of both armies saw the writing on the wall. Cybertron would not last, and the survival of their forces would require them to get offworld and to do so as soon as possible. But even that proved almost impossible, with both sides still clawing at each other even as they both made an exodus from the planet. Their war would continue, spill over into other planets over several thousand millennia. But that is not the story we tell today. The story we tell now begins where Cybertron ended. Not every Autobot nor Decepticon were fortunate enough to escape. Many from both camps still struggle to survive in the ruins of what was once their beloved home. The only viable Energon mines left have been tainted by a dark energy called the Dark Spark, corrupting the precious energy into the more powerful but more volatile Dark Energon. Cybertronians seeking to survive are faced with two horrific options: either risk using Dark Energon, or salvage what little can still be found in the countless remains of those who fell during the war. These are dark days for the Planet Cybertron, and as more and more Energon vanish from the world, the days only seem to get darker. But is all truly lost? There is one who seems to still possess hope. A mysterious transmission begins making its way across the ruins of cities and the wastelands between them. An unknown voice beckons for all who hear it to journey to Iacon, promising sanctuary and survival. The messenger in the transmission remains anonymous, never declaring himself to be an Autobot or Decepticon, and even sending the transmission on both factions' old frequencies. It may very well be too good to be true, but the survivors of Cybertron are left little choice but to put their faith in this supposed sanctuary, for nothing else awaits them in the wastes but death and ruin.

---

So as you may have guessed, this will be a Transformers RP set on Cybertron after its fall and after the big name characters have all left it behind. All that remains are stragglers who were not fortunate enough to escape the planet with their brethren. But a transmission becks all who hear it to come to Iacon where a sanctuary can supposedly be found that promises protection and respite. You can be an Autobot or Decepticon, the choice is yours, but ultimately your character may have to accept working alongside their former enemies that all can survive in these dark times. Canon characters are technically allowed, but with heavy restrictions. Big names like Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, or Starscream are obviously not allowed since they would have already fled the planet during the official canon. But a much less well known D-list character might be acceptable depending on how its written. Either way I don't plan on accepting many canon characters, as I would prefer this cast to be largely made up of OC new bloods that now have to either step up or fall to the wastes.

So if you're interested in a sort of Fallout-meets-Transformers style of RP, then stop on by!
