Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

Yes love, just trying to get through this workweek. I basically get home, eat, sleep. First full workweek is proving to be a lot. I'll write this weekend if that's alright!

@Days

Oh, yep yep! No worries, thank you for the heads up!

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

Days, everything going alright? :>

ArrowFell: The Wizard Queen's Court

Lookin' good!

I think we are safe to progress a little more. I will have an IC post for everyone by Sunday, August 11th. That will give any stragglers some time to write their IC posts to catch the wave.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

@Lexisheeps Sorry for the wait, here it is!

Religion

The Perishing Event caused a lot of people to return back to the Benefactor, a deity known as a force of goodness in the world. When good things happen, or when something goes in your favour, people often chalk it up to the Benefactor.

The texts say that the Perishing Event was a last sign, and that these are the last days of the world before the Quiet Rapture. Where the good will be saved. Anyone remaining will be left to suffer alone in a dying universe.

So, most Benefactor-fearing folk are trying to be one of the ones that are taken in the Quiet Rapture, which many believe to be soon. They pray, they do good deeds, and try to make good in a dying world.

Unfortunately, even more believe they are the exception to the rule. That they will be saved no matter what evil they bring forward. This is the mentality of most of the corrupt Lawless.

There are those who worship the Abyss and the Perishing Event. However, these are on-the-fringe worshippers, cultists, and are considered heretics by mainstream religion.

Let me know if you need more details!

@illirica There's not a thing I would change, I love the concept of an engineer, and the concept of how Abyssal Energy is converted and used. Feel free to place them in the CS tab when you have a moment!

@EstylwenWhile it's your call if Sloane's curse would even work on Alizée, Leon will be successful in disarming her so feel free to have the curse immeidately drop so Alizée can go full Pinhead on our favorite Werewolf.

@Atrophy

Duly noted, thanks for the heads up!

I'll probably have a post up sometime today.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. I imagine that the skin keeps the heat inside, but when he's wounded, the parts around the wounds get pretty hot.
3. Noted, will edit!

@rabidbacon

Great! Feel free to add them to the CS tab. :)

The original image I used for her is gone, but I suppose it's not the end of the world since some time has passed right?

A

mid 20s (she's not sure) | Human | Female | Umbra Corp, Test Subject | 5’4 | 130 lbs

Abyssal Connection: Forced Subjugation

#1 Hemorrhage

She can cause a person's nose or ears to bleed, causing discomfort and mild disorientation. This ability has a short range and requires a direct line of sight.

#2 Blood Sense

She can sense nearby living creatures' location and general health status by "feeling" their blood flow. This ability has a limited range and does not provide specific details about the creatures.

(Locked) #3 Blood Puppetry

She can control the movements of a target by manipulating their blood flow. This ability requires intense concentration and has a limited duration. It also causes significant strain on her, leading to fatigue and potential nosebleeds.

Goal: A’s primary goal is to regain control over her life and protect her fellow test subjects. She is determined to uncover the truth behind their imprisonment and experimentation, and to seek justice for the wrongs done to them. Ultimately, she aims to dismantle the organization that has manipulated and violated them, ensuring that no one else suffers the same fate.

Additionally, A is driven by a personal quest to recover her lost memories. She hopes that by piecing together her past, she can understand the full extent of her abilities and the reasons behind her selection as a test subject. This journey of self-discovery is crucial for her to find closure and reclaim her identity.

Personality: A is resilient and resourceful, with an unyielding determination to overcome any obstacle. Despite the trauma and suffering she has endured, she remains fiercely protective of her friends and allies. Her past experiences have made her wary and distrustful of authority figures, but they have also instilled in her a deep sense of empathy for those who are oppressed or mistreated.

A is driven by a strong moral compass and a desire for justice, often putting herself at risk to help others. She struggles with the temptation to give in to the darkness within her, but her resolve to fight for a better future keeps her grounded. Her cautious and strategic nature often puts her at odds with those who prefer more direct or ruthless methods, but she remains steadfast in her beliefs.

A’s quest to recover her lost memories adds a layer of vulnerability to her otherwise strong exterior. She is haunted by the fragments of her past, which fuel her determination to uncover the truth and reclaim her identity. This journey of self-discovery is crucial for her to find closure and to understand the full extent of her abilities.

History: A woke with others who were the same as her, fellow test subjects. During her time at the facility with them, she recovered a few of her memories. She remembered being mercilessly bullied as a child, with tormentors often resorting to physical violence. One harrowing memory involved being shoved into a wall, resulting in a severe nosebleed and a broken nose. Another memory was of a car accident as a teenager, causing the death of her best friend. She vividly remembered the blood pooling on the asphalt and the feeling of helplessness as she watched her friend succumb to their injuries.

Left with more questions than answers, A now travels with the remaining members of this group to the city of Ehlm in an attempt to kill the Wild King.

Inventory: Umbra Corp Skin Suit: A sleek, dark suit designed for agility and protection.

Hematic Rebreather Mask: A specialized piece of equipment designed to enhance A’s blood-bending abilities while providing essential respiratory support.

Utility Belt: Equipped with various tools, including a small knife, lockpicks, and a compact flashlight.

Medical Kit: Contains first aid supplies, including bandages, antiseptic wipes, and a few vials of blood coagulant for emergency use.

Ration Bars and Water Bottles: Essential for sustenance during long missions.

Communication Device: A compact, encrypted radio for secure communication with her team.

Notebook and Pen: For jotting down observations, plans, and any recovered memories.
