That'd be perfect.

Also, by screwed-up, if Daniel found out that it was Bartholomew who had been abusing and isolating Ciel, Daniel would be plotting murder and counting on America's criminal justice system to give him an easier sentence as he's still a minor.




I think it's safe to say that the first time Ciel's friends meet Bartholomew is at the Amusement Park. I'll leave how quick Daniel picks up on the fact that Bartholomew is a hot landfill full pile of garbage, up to you. ^_^
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Mechanically, Daniel is just a RAW Human; the 'Enhanced' part is merely an attempt to translate D&D Mechanics like Hit Points into the RP.

I like that last part; I was also thinking that he might have been friends with Ciel at some point and took her 'rejection' badly. As in, 'Daniel is also screwed up a little' badly.


Ahhh! I see. XD Thank you!

Also...Oof! Yeah, hearing Daniel say that he messed up and that Ciel rejected him would definitely snap her out of the funk Bartholomew put her in, if not at the theme park than in the new world.

She definitely would have told Daniel that it wasn't his fault if they got a chance to talk it out before their untimely death.

As for how Ciel and Daniel became friends...

Since there's an eight year difference between them, would it be okay with you if the two of them became friends because Ciel babysat Daniel a few times when she was in High School and he was in Elementary/Middle School?
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

I'm sure Ciel's new attitude would spark some measure of confusion in Malcer at first, which begins to transition into concern the more he is exposed to the new her and how she acts around Bartholomew. Being nonconfrontational, Malcer wouldn't have been the first to make accusations or anything, but he would perhaps have asked her "if she was alright" if he ever got her relatively alone. And I'm sure her response would be less than encouraging.

Owing to the fact that Malcer wasn't generally the most "in-person socialized" and kinda lived in his own head a lot of the time, he's the kind of person that when receiving one of these backhanded compliments would either humbly shrug it off, miss the compliment part entirely, or directly ask for clarification if he's confused on the intent. Which, naturally, Bartholomew wouldn't really be able to do without digging his hole deeper. Malcer's lack of socialism in some respects leads him to be blunter at times and cut through social shenanigans. A short "I'm sorry?" or "in what way?" and so on might start to see Bartholomew's facade unravel in Malcer's eyes.


Yup. She would have said "I'm fine,", but Malcer would easily be able to tell that she wasn't.

Bartholomew would probably notice that Malcer isn't generally the most "in-person socialized", and would use that to his advantage. He probably would have answered his clarification questions in a way that would have seemed like a save to others, but would have been a deliberate diss that only Malcer would pick up on.

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

You bet the first thing Malcer would think is to ask "Did you get hacked?/What's this about?" on some alternative social media connection if he received such a weird message, complete with screenshot. Although, if Bartholomew was already that deep, it's certainly questionable if that inquiry would ever have reached Ciel.


Yeah, I would say at that point, Bartholomew was already in deep, so he would have been able to make sure that Ciel didn't see that message. He probably would have answered Malcer's inquiry with "No. Leave me alone," and a prompt block of Malcer and the other friends' accounts on Ciel's alternative social media accounts.
@Guardian Angel Haruki, can you comment on my sheet to see if I did anything wrong?


Sure thing!

Your character sheet looks great! You've got everything that @Lewascan2 and I put into our sheets.

I do have a question: From what I'm reading of the Enhanced Human, it sounds like mechanically Daniel would be a Variant Human with the Keen Mind feat. Do I have that right?

The only other question that comes to mind would be how would he be friends with the rest of the party? Chances are Daniel would probably be the youngest member of the party. We can establish connections for this character. Maybe he's related to one of the party members as a relative?
@Guardian Angel Haruki, So, multiple OCs are permitted only on opposite factions/teams?


That, I can't say definitively. That is for @CaptainManbeard to answer. ^^" Sorry.
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Oh 100%. Malcer is probably going to spend a fair amount of time menacing this man once he picks up on how much of a piece of hot garbage he is... if that wasn't perfectly clear already. Malcer was a bit of a self-absorbed loner in his first life, so he might have just assumed she drifted away like some people naturally do, but upon meeting her and Barthalomew at the theme park? Ciel must have come across rather different. But Malcer is rather aggressively protective of those he does consider friends, so Bartholomew is not likely to endear himself to him.


Oh yeah, Ciel would have come off as drastically different. Before Bartholomew, Ciel was much more cheerful and a little more outgoing. She wouldn't have been the type to just drift away when it came to her friends and family. At the theme park, she would have been quiet, self-deprecating, and apologetic to Malcer. She probably have apologized to him for a normal conversations they had in the past, with her thinking that she insulted him somehow, while Malcer clearly remembers it as a normal conversation.

As for Bartholomew, it might have been obvious that he was a piece of hot garbage from the start. I imagine he tries to endear himself to her friends at first, while subtly undercutting them with backhanded compliments. When he sees that the friends see him for who he truly is, he stops trying to make them like him and simply focuses on Ciel.

Now that I think more about it..I imagine Bartholomew went behind Ciel's back and sent a message from Ciel's phone/email to all of her friends. While pretending to be her, he basically tried to tell everyone that Ciel doesn't need them anymore and that she was never going to speak to them again.

The potential giveaways that it wasn't Ciel writing those messages?

1. Bartholomew tried to make Ciel sound flippant and uncaring so that her friends and family would be angry and not want to speak with her anymore.

2. He used emojis in the message when Ciel doesn't use emojis for serious messages like that.
@Lewascan2@Guardian Angel Haruki, would you guys appreciate the presence of a 16-year-old kid who is, well, a kid who is enjoying his 'adventure', or would you prefer an 18-year-old Eldritch Knight, or both?

@CaptainManbeard, wait, multiple OCs are permitted?


<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

Either one is fine. I don't have a preference. Play what you want.


I don't mind either one. Feel free to go whichever you'd like to play. ^_^

As for the multiple OCs, so far Captain Manbeard and I have a Hero character and their Arch Nemesis.
@Lewascan2 Ooh! Look what I just found! XD

I know this is Puss in Boots, The Last Wish, but I can see this happening between Malcer and Bartholomew
@CaptainManbeard I've edited Ciel's Archnemesis into the same post. ^_^
I think I might make my good guy some sort of a mix between a Samurai and a Sorcerer, but we'll see. Might use this as his theme song XD:






That is a really awesome song!
And a samurai and sorcerer combo sounds really cool!
