Astrovia: An Anthro Fantasy World

How long has it been? The lion thought to himself as he kept on walking. When one travels for so long, they tend to forget miniscule details, such as the flow of time itself. What seemed like years ago can almost feel like an eternity for one, and once there was a time when Ymahr truly cared about it, but nowadays, it would be easier to not pay attention to it. The feline stops on his tracks when he sees that he has made his way to a small village, he looked around and was amused to see that it was certainly peaceful enough, a little dull, but it was quiet enough to evoke a sense of easiness. Deciding that a rest right now would be as good as any, he entered a nearby inn to order a drink. While some ale or wine would certainly be nice, it wouldn't do him good to travel while intoxicated, so water should be able to quench his thirst right now. The canine behind the counter nodded and served it to him, bowing to the lion and saying that no payments were necessary. Ymahr thanked the young-man and took a sip from the cup, before asking the canid if there were any interesting activity nearby.

The dog began to mull over himself, before saying there was a nearby ruined temple up north, filled with various treasures and relics of the past. Ymahr's ears perked up, he certainly wouldn't mind taking a detour to visit the ruins. The canine however, warned him that the ruins were filled to the brim with various monsters and undead and asked the lion if he would like someone to accompany him, to which he simply nodded left and right.

"I work alone."

He said in a deep voice, the canine would voice his protest but decided against it. With his business done and a temple to explore, the leonine man thanked the canid for the information and the drink, he got up from his seat and exited out of the inn. His paws gripping his spear tightly, Ymahr began to head north, it wasn't the treasure he was after, it was the journey that mattered to him. The road was quiet but still serene, the big feline closed his eyes for a moment to feel the warmth of it all, it filled him with a sense of peace that gave him the energy to keep moving forward. After treading for what seemed like an hour, the lion could finally see the temple in the distance, but what was that other thing? Ymahr ran towards the temple in hopes of getting some kind of context, but what greeted him was an all-out battle between a Wurm, a Lah'na, a Rakonai, a Shael, and a Nin'tah. Just what in the heavens was going on here? Readying his spear and casting a barrier of light beforehand, the lion joined in the fray, if only to get some kind clue as to what was transpiring.

The thing was huge, and that was both good and bad. That only meant hitting it would be somewhat easy, but it also meant that it could probably kill everyone within range if they were unable to stop it or they got careless. The Wurm was covered in a thick carapace, so stabbing it might prove to be less than effective...Still, with his magic not exactly fit for offense, Ymahr had to rely on his spear to damage this monster. With no other choice, the feline quickly distanced himself from the beast, using quick stabs and thrusts to deal damage to it while also allowing him to move about and dodge should it happen to be aggressive.

Starting off in medias res, eh?
I'll get up a post soon, not sure if it should include bandits and/or meeting the others.

Astrovia: An Anthro Fantasy World

You don't see a lot of anthro RP's, but then again I guess one of the factors being well...Let's just say they have a reputation on the internet.
And mostly because there are places that specifically cater to that. I will admit, this is my first time playing an anthro, time to show what I've learned from those text-based adventure games and doujins!

Gettin' really hype.
A mixture of both excitement and nervousness.

Ymahr Shir

"I seek strength to protect, not to kill."

Basics
Name:
Ymahr Shir.

Race:
Lah'na, a Lion specifically.

Gender:
Male.

Age:
33.

Additional Info
Personality:
At first glance, many would think that this feline is nothing but a cold brute without any goals, simply wandering for eternity. And while that may be partly true, Ymahr tends not to heed the whispers of strangers and let it get to him, for they are free to say what they want, so as long as they do not intrude in his mission. While definitely no has-been, he feels out of touch with many youths and adolescents that he feels he may as well be a senile old man, and while it does not bother him that much, it does bring back a painful memory of the past for him, something that he wishes not to ponder on.

The lion is calm, tactical and collected. Preferring to think of a more logical or safer approach rather than facing danger head-on, his wisdom and intellect however becomes a double-edged sword when it begins to mix with his emotions and feelings. They clash like water and oil and often proves difficult for him to express as such.

Rather than staying with groups, Ymahr finds peace in being alone, something that has stayed with him ever since he wandered. Due to his years of traversing the roads in his pursuit of strength, he comes off as an anti-social person as his time alone was most certainly not spent with many. Despite this, he is also shown to be well-meaning and selfless, he simply prefers not to show it often.

He tends to cling to the past often, it is something that both drives him forward and pulls him towards his own downfall.

Appearance:
Ymahr is a tall, and athletically-built lion, something that stems from his various battles during his travels. His fur is mostly tawny-colored, with his chest-area and lower muzzle being mainly white, whereas his mane consists mostly of a dirty-yellow color. The lion's face is almost-always filled a stern expression, almost as if he is expressing slight irritation from his surroundings.

His armor-if you could call it that-consists of a simple scarf adorned with a small trinket, a cloth belt and a simple pair of pants. On his right hand, he wields a gauntlet that is purely aesthetic.

Height:
6'2".

Weight:
190 lbs.

Fight related
Magic:
Miracles. He has a strong preference towards defense instead of recovery.

Class:
Vagabond.

Weapons/Items:
A gold spear, and what little he considers as "armor".

Strengths:
Brute Strength
- Even without his magic and spear, Ymahr is a formidable foe up close and is willing to use his bare hands to confront foes.

Agile
- Though not as dexterous as many of his kind, his speed is above average and he tends to incorporate it in his fights where his defense is one of his biggest enemies.

Instinct
- He may be an anti-social one, but those who manage to befriend this lion will find that he is willing to cross limits in order to protect those what little he calls "friends", even if it includes putting his life on the line just to ensure their survival and/or safety.

Weaknesses:
Solace in Solitude
- Prefers to be alone, he is hesitant to rely on the aid of others unless it was a matter of life and death.

Lion's Pride
- In addition to the above, if he ever finds himself allying with another, Ymahr will often prioritize himself rather than his allies. He may heal and tend to their wounds once in a while but that would be about it, unless that person happens to be someone important to him that is.

Sticks and Stones
- Prone to taunting the enemy and can easily underestimate them just from their appearances. This doesn't apply to just enemies though, he calls them as he sees them, for better or worse. He does not to bear any ill will, but rather to bear witness the potential of his adversaries.

Expose'
- Tends not to use armor and cover himself up as it gets in the way of his dexterity. As a result, he is vulnerable to many attacks, both physical and magical. To remedy this, he tends to rely on casting barriers for defense or using some of his agility to safely dodge incoming attacks instead.

Techniques:
Ymahr prefers to confront enemies from a mid-to-close distance, using his spear to attack from a safe range with quick pokes and thrusts. He tends not to close-in on an enemy until he sees a viable opening, at which point he switches to a more aggressive fighting style that relies more on cornering the opponent and tiring them out with repeated stabs, even using fisticuffs if his spear would-somehow-be unavailable. He tends to alternate between a defensive and offensive style, depending on the situation.

When it comes to using his magic in fighting however, he almost always tries to start every fight by casting a barrier on himself to lessen the damage he receives. As mentioned above, while he may be uncomfortable fighting with allies, that doesn't mean he won't be willing to spare a moment of his time to aid them however.

I can't believe it took me like, two-three hours to create a character.

I'm still debating on what kind of character I'll be making.
There's already a handful of guys but I feel the urge to even out the ratio.
Also, hunting for pics is hard when the site you're using is littered with very questionable content.

Color me curious and interested.
Everyone's a squishy wizard, eh?

Persona - The True Self

Ayano Wakahisa: Corporate War Zone
18/6/2015, Thursday

Ayano's eyes lit up when she saw the overflow of soldiers rushed in on to the party with guns blazing, if the rest of the party weren't in any life-threatening danger right now, it'd be just like watching an action movie. Casting her thoughts aside, she was glad to see that Rui and the others were able to pave a path with brute force and eventually made their way to the door. As they entered, the girl's screen was immediately greeted by a slate gray color, it looked unimaginative to say the least. The color almost made her feel dull and lifeless just by looking at her screens, the cells in the area made it clear as to what area they were in right now; a prison. She wouldn't be surprised if the words she were hearing prisoners or just mad ravings of the owner of this dungeon, but who or WHAT was crying in the distance?

The brunette nodded at the leader's orders, keeping an open eye on all of her screens just in case the prisoners decide to pile-on them this time or some sort of Silent Hill-esque abomination decides to make itself welcome to the group. As they traversed the prison, there were numerous Shadow Soldiers that just looked sad and frightened, and for a moment the girl couldn't believe that of all the things to make her feel sad it was a shadow. That sadness came to an end with anxiety overcame her when a cell labelled with "Solitary" was met by the party, beyond the door Ayano could feel a presence, one that was filled with malice and power...She wasn't sure if it was THE shadow already but judging from their time in the dungeon, it would be a far cry from it. When the door opened, the only thing that Ayano's screens picked up were pitch black. For a moment she thinks that it was an error or fault of her Persona, but no, it was something more terrible than that...

The lights flickered on to reveal towering shadow in the usual prison wear, similar to the ones they saw before. Despite its restrained state she could feel that this thing was not to be underestimated. With Rui giving orders, Ayano quickly began to scan the giant, tapping her keys
One of her screens showed the back of the giant, a red reticle pointing directly at it and beeping. Her left screen displayed that it was the glaring weak point of the monster, but how can the party strike it when it keeps darting and weaving? She looked back at the center screen, clicking at the image of the shadow and analyzing it carefully, the girl noticed a distinct key that could be struck and the loose shackles of the boss. With a grin, Ayano immediately relayed the information to the party.

"The giant's weak point is its back. It's moving a lot so I think you should restrain it with its own shackles! I'm not sure about the key though..."

Persona - The True Self

Woo, looks like I didn't miss much.
I had this thing called "Exams" but it looks like not much had happened.
I can post if Sho can give me more info about the enemy, the current info isn't really much to make a whole post about.
