Oblivion: A Story Forgotten

The Shade

character ref image

Name: Akshay Daŭra, "The Shade"
Weapon: Shield
Combat Orientation: Physical

Element:

Primary:
Given by GM. Your character will have significantly higher resistance to these elements, and the aptitude to learn spell/ skills of these elements

Darkness - Having an all-consuming property, it can absorb and/or negate other's skills and defenses. Though it has many utility spells and skills, there are not many that involves direct attacking.

Secondary: Physical Character picks 1
Hand-picked by the players. Your character will have marginally higher resistance to these elements, and the aptitude to learn spell/ skills of these elements

Light - Having an all-embracing property, it specializes on wide-spread effects, be it healing or damaging. A very well-balanced element in terms of offense-defense-support spell / skill availability.

Skills:

Innate:

- Weapon Summon: The ability to materialize your weapon of choice at will
- Superior Resilience: Your character starts with increased endurance and stamina, and has higher aptitude in increasing these stats
- Superior Strength: Your character starts with increased muscle power, and has higher aptitude in increasing this stat
- Blessing of the Peacemaker: When outside of battle, the energy "Allos the Peacemaker" exudes will repair the damages done to your physical body. Greater wounds take longer to heal, but anything short of missing limbs and/or organs should heal given enough time.

Tier 1: Physical Character picks 3
(Hand-picked by the players. Feel free to make any skills and descriptions, the thing I put here are merely samples)

- Superior Willpower: Your character starts with increased mental fortitude and resistance to magic, and has higher aptitude in increasing this stat
- Blindsight: If blinded, in bright light, or in darkness, Akshay has an innate sense of his surroundings. He can sense where others are standing, and can find his way around a room or arena as normal.
- Equilibrium: When Akshay is standing still (both feet on the ground), any strike that he successfully deflects with his shield will have its momentum reflected back with full force and cannot knock him back. (Cannot "reflect" ranged projectiles, and does not inflict the intended damage type or wound - only the momentum)

Oblivion: A Story Forgotten

I will accept it, with a note that it only reflects the momentum of the attack

@Celsius

That's exactly what I meant! I'll add a note to clarify.

Thanks!

oh boy

RP Catchall - fantasy, sci-fi, some fandoms, misc

Bump!

Some more added, & tidied up the presentation a little.

The Return of the Panda

Welcome back! Hope you find what you're looking for! :^D

RP Catchall - fantasy, sci-fi, some fandoms, misc

If you're under 18, please don't approach me for 1x1 roleplay. There's nothing saucy here, I'm just way more comfortable playing with people closer to my own age.

Hey! I'm 26, I take they/them pronouns, and I like to party.

Discord or PMs.
I don't care what your gender is or what gender your character is. LGBTQ+ friendly.

SIMPLE GUIDE FOR ROLEPLAYING WITH ME (READ THIS FIRST PLEASE!)

★ Be polite, don't be judgy. If you want to be rude to people, there are hundreds of snide little anonymous forums for that. I like my roleplay with a hefty dose of mutual respect. We're here to have fun and relax!

★ I'm careful with my spelling and grammar. Don't jump up my arse if I miss something. Just be reasonable please

★ That said, I'm specifically not looking for shortform. A paragraph minimum would be great. I want to tell an interesting and somewhat detailed story with you.

★ Cringe culture is dead. Liking things unironically is the new punk rock and it's why we're pretending to be fictional characters on the internet

★ Opinions of the characters do not reflect the opinions of the players, and vice versa

★ I am a busy adult human person with work, hobbies, and deadlines. My rate of posting may be erratic sometimes when I have other commitments, but I have a lot of stories I really want to explore through roleplay, and if I don't try I'll never get to do any of them. Have some patience with me and don't be afraid of sending me a message if I seem to have gone quiet - but remember we're doing this as a fun recreational activity in our free time, so don't jump up my arse about it. My timezone is GMT.

★ I'm not looking for NSFW stories. If our characters develop a relationship and stuff happens then that's just how it works out, but please do not go into RP with me specifically for smut. I'm way more interested in the adventure/fantasy/friendship/enmity/magic/scifi/whatever than I am in whether anyone gets to bone. If you have an idea for romance I'm open to trying it out but weh weh I roleplay for the storyyyy

SQUICKS ★ NONE OF THESE, PLEASE

Absolutely not, no thank you, not today:
Excessive gore (a little blood is acceptable now and again but I don't want to hear about how your character's guts are faring vis-a-vis their recent introduction to a giant meat grinder)
Rape/noncon
Suicide/self harm
Incest/Paedo/Necro/Bestiality why do I even have to write these down c'mon man
Homophobia/Transphobia as a plot point
Also, as a side note, please do not dump your extremely serious IRL issues on me without any warning. And don't suddenly ask me for money. Yes, this has happened before. No, I do not have the tools to help you

Premise ideas

ORIGINAL PROMPTS

Superheroes. We can do literally anything with this. I am ready to go ape mode on worldbuilding. I want to have some superhuman adventures, I want it to start small and escalate from there, and I want our characters to save the world and have bonding experiences while they do it.

A high-end AI lies dormant in a bunker facility or a crashed ship. Its systems are damaged, its memory banks are full of blank spots and errors, and all it knows is that it was made to look after the bunker/ship's inhabitants. YC finds their way into the bunker/ship, looking for supplies or a way off-world. The AI decides its new purpose is to serve and learn from YC. Maybe they become close, maybe the AI finds a new identity, maybe there's a robot it can pilot around like a tin suit to help YC survive, maybe they have to fix the ship/spruce up the bunker, maybe it develops a personality, etc etc etc. Let's go bonkers with the worldbuilding and tech levels.

Wizards oh my god wizards. Let's do something with mages and spellcasting. I don't have a plan for this. I love magic. Go nuts.

High-fantasy furries. Magic and adventure with tails, let's do this. Bonus points if you play something out of the ordinary, like avians/bugs/aquatic/mythical/etc. Side note: add furries to literally any of my other concepts if you want. I dig it.

Virtual Reality. Our characters meet online in a full VR world of the future, with everything from full-body tracking to suspension systems to custom virtual worlds that can hurt your character in the "real" world. It'd be cool for this story to have everything from occasional text chat logs, to characters upgrading/downgrading their VR equipment, and getting so immersed in their virtual lives that they uncover secret hacker plots etc etc.

Fantasy/mythical beast + rider. I don't care who's who. I don't care if it's a dragon/gryphon/unicorn/whatever. Maybe they're on the run or escaping, or looking for something. Either way, they start out as strangers (maybe they don't like each other much) and learn to trust each other and value the skills the other can bring to the table. I'll play either part with no preference.

FANDOM STUFF

Digimon - OCs only. I don't mind if we're both humans with partners, or if one plays the human and one plays the partner.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - OCs, or else I play Gengar from the first game. Emotional adventures rescuing randos and each other. You know it.

MLP - Tiny, cute, multicoloured, magical ponies rule. So does the worldbuilding and all the characters introduced in G4. Canons preferred, will consider OCs. (Please for the love of god don't approach me about FoE or any edgy, grimdark setting where the horses have guns, swear, cut each other up, etc, I'm not interested)

Homestuck - OCs or canons, though I've only read the original Homestuck. If OCs let's do our own Sburb game, maybe host each other, alchemise some weird stuff, get stuck in a dead-end session or win the game, whatever! If canons, I can pretty much play anyone, but I may be rusty.

Storm Hawks - Crystals, terras, and aeroplane motorcycles. This setting ruled and the characters were fun and I've never been able to get it out of my head. HMU, let's do something with it. Canons or OCs.

Fallout 4 or 76 - No I haven't played the previous games and yes I've heard a million times they're better. With that out of the way: I'll play canons (most companions) or OCs, I don't mind if we follow the plot or make up our own, I just like the setting, let's get crazy with it. I don't really have any specific ideas but I'm sure we can come up with plenty.

This is pretty niche, but I also like Batman vs Riddler - specifically back around the Timm era when things were dark enough to be an emotional rollercoaster but hadn't forgotten how to be fun and silly sometimes as well. We can do our own versions of the characters but I just want to keep that feel. I wanna explore some weird frenemy relationships between two dudes with weird Gotham psychoses who kind-of-but-not-really-but-maybe want to help each other but the world keeps making life difficult. (I don't know anything about the modern comics and I don't like the modern movies at all, sorry.)

Terraria? Idk what to do with this one but I'm writing it here anyway

NOTE: I also like experimenting with AUs. Feel free to suggest something.

OTHER

I have an extremely wide list of interests, so feel free to try me with something I haven't listed, if you have a cool idea and it seems like something I'd be into.

Feel free to mix and match my fandom/original ideas if the inspiration strikes.

Don't be shy. The worst that can happen is I politely say no-thank-you.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day!

Buck's probably gonna pull a Leeroy Jenkins on Wisemon. Anyone up for following that lead?

@PsyBlade

Gil just might

@Stern Algorithm

Impmon definitely will, which means like it or not Sunny will get dragged into it. I'm game if y'all are!

Also, good job Sunny, draw attention to the fact Impmon was tampering with books. Great charisma skills, 10/10

D:\World\DigitalShift\The Yokai Incident\

^{☀️SUNNY & IMPMON}

Currently caught up in Impmon's struggles to get Sunny to put him down, neither seemed to notice the larger Digimon until it was practically upon them. Impmon was first, freezing perfectly still under Sunny's arm and peering up at Wisemon with an uncertain expression - and then Sunny realised how still he'd gone and promptly followed his gaze.

The two remained silent until Wisemon was done talking, and then Sunny adjusted their glasses with a free hand and cleared their throat.

"That's a big librarian," they remarked, and then Sunny unceremoniously loosed their arm from around Impmon's body and dumped him to the floor. "You should probably put those books back on the shelf," they muttered out of the corner of their mouth.

"...I don't think any of these are what it's looking for," Impmon hissed back. "Stand back. If it tries anything, it'll have to go through me." He jabbed a thumb to his chest.

Sunny wasn't listening. They glanced around at their fellow human-and-partner combos, did a quick mental assessment, and decided the others had the right idea. Sunny chimed in with a smile usually reserved for whoever was about to tell them off for flicking erasers at the whiteboard.

"See, the trouble is, we've already had our detention," they declared, mock-polite, "and we're innocent as lambs, anyway, the lot of us. But they're right - we can help you have a look."

Impmon glared over his shoulder at Sunny.

Sunny snapped their fingers at him and gestured urgently to the books on the floor. "And we'll tidy up his mess, while we're at it."

Oblivion: A Story Forgotten

^{[ OOC: Switching to third person because it feels like the right time to do so! ]}

Fear did not come from skeletal shapes or strange gardens of the dead. Fear, for the Shield, was rooted in the unknown. The Shield did not want to be forgotten any more than they wanted to forget themselves. It was one thing to be unknown by everyone else - but to lack even their own name had shaken them to the core.

The Shield was not fazed, then, by the sudden change in scenery or the unreal appearance of the two foxes. They stepped forwards when beckoned, because at least this was something, at least this was a purpose, even if only for now...

When the Shield's name came back, it came with a bang.

Akshay Daŭra.

The haze of uncertainty lifted. So, too, did the wreath of shadows that had been roiling around Akshay's body and mind like an unwanted cloak. His stance instantly shifted from closed-in and uneasy to a steadfast, relaxed warrior's position. He knew enough now to know that was his default, and it fit him like a glove.

So too did the material of his artfully-stitched trousers, and the soft leather comfort wrap he wore on his shield arm. He had a shirt, too, but at some point he'd foregone wearing it and had instead tied it around his waist, wrinkling the sleeves irreparably - not that he minded. He was also barefoot, which was... interesting, and he made a note to remedy this later.

"Why am I here?" He spared a glance to the other strange wanderer that - he now understood - had been trying to save him from this strange skeletal being. "Why are they here? Did we not fight true enough?"
