AR's Universal Check - General Ideas, Plots, and Dream Worlds (18+)

Another couple of dreams added, though not as detailed as the others. Been having too many irl related dreams lately sadly, and the few I remember that were not irl related aren't really enough detail to give a full picture on.

AR's Character Arsenal

Amitiel - Two of two, a hybrid of an angel and demon. Chases after her sister and tries to keep her out of trouble. Loves science and criminology. Typically has some kind of new experimental drug that may or may not cause mutations in other organic beings, or maybe the next zombie apocalypse, one never knows. Married, thinking about adoption.

The type of person to FAFO whatever she can, even if it threatens herself, others, or the general populace. Ageless but not immortal.

Riven Pan - Mutant thief from a steampunk and magically infused world. He was altered when his parents dabbled with Elder God tomes and accidentally ripped open a dimensional portal. Killed both of them but he was infused with that magic. Not only can he walk through walls and other surfaces, but he can also hop between dimensions. Has a spirit-like companion bound to him. He's a kid, but also an adult with heavy shoulders, carrying the weight of murdering someone when he didn't want to. He drowns his nightmares in exploring new dimensions and high energy chases. He's the type to steal your most precious item then dangle it in front of you before taunting and falling into the floor.

Yisbren Valaritaw - An apprentice mage who specializes in elemental magics. She wishes to journey and practice her casting, befriending most that come her way, including a dragon or two. Usually travels with her mentor, but she has to spread her wings sometime. She's fascinated by history, and would love to learn about the Old Ways alongside the New, especially when it comes to magic. She's the type to appear cool and collected, a court mage in training, but really, she just wants to experience the world and learn from it.

Jherek Connors - Bassist in a small time band who had his life turned upside down when a superhero who lived above him climbed into the wrong window after a night of defending the city. They grew to love one another, but then tragedy struck. Jherek gained superpowers, but he also lost his partner. Confused and broken, he left that city, and has been wandering since, running from that pain however he could. He's a little better now, but he dares not show off his abilities. If he's found out, next town it is. He always carries his favorite bass though, even if he can't bring himself to play. He's the type to make pancakes with soda pop instead of water or milk and top it off with ice cream.

Natalie Malak - A ship captain with stealth tech, Nat prides herself on a good ship, good crew, and a good reputation. She'll take most jobs that won't harm the lesser off people, but that doesn't mean she's a law abiding citizen either. Her ship is known to be one of the best smuggling ships out there, and she can handle herself pretty well in a fight. She's romantically involved with one of her alien crewmates, but that won't stop her from her promise to get the job done. She's the type to outwardly scold disobedience but cheer for it on the inside.

Charlotte - A brilliant lass who specializes in underground augment and cybernetics work to help the little people who can't afford the newest upgrades. A neutral party to the political shenanigans of the world, she serves both the pinkies up nobility and the dangerous gangsters of the underworld. She lives in a junkyard, sorting through the various pieces for compatible parts and living a fairly lonely but appreciated life. Charlotte is the type of gal who goes over the top with her outward appearance to hide her inner insecurities.

Levyn - He's not quite sure how he has the life that he does, but Levyn lives fairly comfortably. Large house, nice cars, good looks, physical prowess, the works. The only thing he could complain about are these blackouts he has. One moment he's inside a local coffee shop, the next he's in a park across town seven hours later. Dixtors find nothing, and no medicine has helped him, so he just shrugs it off as some weird thing he has to live with. He hasn't yet found that secret cubby though, the one holding the protective gear, masks, and that blood stained knife that so itches to find a new canvas to carve into. Levyn is the type of guy to turn on cruise control whatever chance he can get.

Ceceila Rose Davenport-Rehwind - She's full of herself, knows she's good, and has creatures at her disposal; No one messes with this witch. A woman who seeks out the secrets of the natural world, Ceceila practices various forms of witchcraft, even able to summon beings from beyond. Many have tried to kill her, but she just keeps coming back sooner or later. She's the type to flip her hair to win a man's heart, then ditch him in the forest naked to watch the wolves pursue.

Pacelli - A desire demon who enjoys mischief and manipulation. He's been around for a while, and knows The Twins from some of their adventures. He even tried taming one of them once, but instead got his rear handed to him and forced to become a servant for a while. While they're friends now, he'd never try to cross them again for fear of his existence. Other creatures however, are fair game. He makes deals with whatever will supply him with entertainment, pleasure, or power, and sometimes he has to make protective deals with other, stronger, creatures to keep himself out of trouble. Many a soul have a bounty on his head, and just as many have a contract to protect him. Pacelli's the type to dig himself a deep hole and use others as a ladder to climb out of it.

Hayden - Self insert. Controls symbiotic micronanobots that act like a second skin, weapon, shield, or tool. Remote control and hacking of electrical devices, 'bee' swarms, shock therapy, the works. Just a fun little What If scenario.

Meiller Kristophf - Vampiric butler. He serves his family for generations, and is now at the service of his Lady. He has been assigned to classic duties such as cleaning, cooking, doorman, bodyguard, and supportive lover, though he has also seen work as an assassin, diplomat, and sacrifice to prove a point. The only thing he refuses to do is turn someone of the family, no matter how much he may be begged to do so. He's the type of guy to be a literal punching bag and never complain.

Neculai Flaviu - Vampire Lord of a fictional village in the Carpathian Mountains, eastern Romania. One of the few "good" vampires, he's been around for a long, long time and has both been a menace to the region and a savior of outcasts. Worshiped as a role model for many, this ancient man is adored to the point of near-cultism, when all he wanted was to be alone with his guilt.

Ulrich Hartmann - Supernatural creature hunter. Member of a fictional Order and has origins tied in Germany. A veteran at his work, this man is heartless to the beasts that plague the region, though protective of what and who is his. Specializes in revolvers and the blade.

Fandom Based Characters

Genevieve Coorhagen - A woman who was turned vampire by an old nobleman, she has embraced her new life and became the center of every party after her rebirth. Speaks multiple languages, loves the glitz, glamor, and fame, and uses her suitors as feedbags. She's trained in some martial weapons, favoring the glaive, but much prefers to use her honed talents to lure her prey and suck them dry of all assets before discarding them like the trash they are. When she gets bored, she seeks interesting people to entertain her, sometimes even burning down her empire to start anew somewhere else. She's the type to waltz into a ballroom, throw her hands up, and announce her magnificent presence herself, then bask in the stares of everyone around her. Originally created from the world of Legacy of Kain.

Mufasa - Fire, fire, burn! This salarian has a love for all things aflame, and is a feisty piece of work. Being a mercenary, he and his brother-in-arms Kaiul were a near unstoppable force, until Kaiul met a sudden and unfortunate end. That nearly broke Mufasa, and his antics flew out of control. He always has something burning, and if it's not, then it will be in next minute or so. Reckless, sacrificial, suicidal, Mufasa takes his sadness out on the enemy, charring everything he can. He's the type that never needs caffeine, for he's always wired. Originally created from the Mass Effect universe, inspired by the multiplayer character of the salarian engineer.

Ranik Kent - Outcast, loner, and mercenary, this Ex-Jedi Knight travels the stars in his smuggling ship and doing those odd jobs to keep the credits rolling. He was never fully on board with the whole "defend the defenseless" type of thing the Jedi talked about, but he never hated to the point of being a Sith, so here he is, stuck in the middle. He's sarcastic, protective of his ship, and training constantly. He's the type to use whatever he can in a fight, including civilian meat shields. Originally inspired from the Star Wars universe, Old Republic era, around the times of Revan and Meetra Surik (KOTOR 1 + 2 versions).

Onhir Thylie Niar'Haanin - Drow trickster assassin, neutral evil and stealth master. 'Nuff said. She's in it for herself, whether that's gold, power, or infamy, and has been known as The Drenched. She will betray her party at any moment if it suits her needs, like the time she was used as a shield against a bear and she just disappeared, leaving the hider to face off against the bear alone. However, she does have respect for other skilled folk, and doesn't dive into fights half-thought out. She loves the stars and night sky, one of the only times she can be seen as "vulnerable" or personable, and she wishes to know more about the celestial bodies there. Originally from original player character for a 3.5 edition Dungeons and Dragons campaign, exported to Neverwinter (MMO) and another 5th edition campaign, then further exported to Baldur's Gate 1 + 2, and will eventually find her way into Baldur's Gate 3.

Riyel - Werewolf Breton Nightingale. Explorer and collector of powerful gear, to which she displays in her home. Exported from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Mazii - Necromatic Breton conjurer. Mad God. Archer illusionist. Looks like death, smells like death, has seen and been part of some crazy stuff. Exported from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Specific RP Characters

Mallory "Merikh" Liridon - Illusionist, enchanter, alchemist, Duskblade assassin. His home was raided by a nasty guild-cult due to drama between his father and another, and all but himself were murdered. Left on the doorstep of another guild, Merikh was trained and broken to be one of the most fearsome assassins in the land. His reputation speaks for itself as civilians and other guild members alike grow pale from the mere mention of his name, and many don't walk away from an encounter with him. Almost utterly loyal to his guild, the only thing that could stand in his way is his own feelings for another, a partner he's known all his life in the guild. Cool, playful, and brutal, Merikh is the type to disguise himself or break people in order to achieve his goals.

Liadan - Werewolves always get the love, but what about a rabbit? Liadan has power and control over elemental ice, and is a student to learn how to properly handle her ability. She's a punk, but easily excitable and startled. She's the type to prance about in joy then freeze when another watches her, embarrassed at her childish outburst.

Kailynn Porter - A natural mechanic, Kailynn is a semi small-time criminal with goals in the anarchist and social justice mindsets. She's been arrested for hacking into billboards, vandalism, wiring money for charities and the like, and most recently for stealing a "VIP's" spaceship, causing no harm save for annoying the rich owner.

Selma Aldine - College girl who is the lonesome but infamous "Miss Moody". She's snarky, judgemental, and a straight up bully, though she means well. Her harsh words are meant to trigger an emotional response, an egging guilt, and then hopefully change the path the target was on. She's been able to turn dumb jocks into smart and successful adults with a few simple sentences, and while everyone hates her attitude, no one dares to bring her harm. Currently and unwillingly a magical girl. Transforms into an emotionally charged and ruled fairy of the moon. Uses music as her weapon.

Codie Herman - A young college girl who is near deathly afraid of social situations. Even with those considered friends she's a stuttering and self conscious mess. Incredibly smart and intuitive. She unfortunately latches onto the highest perceived social queen/king to mimic and learn from them, but while alone, she can't enact what she's learned from them. Currently attached to Selma Aldine. Currently a magical girl. Transforms into a strong and tactically thoughtful leader, a military bunny with the power of the cosmos.

Temperance "Trish" - An angel embodying the reward after patience. She believes humanity can be better than it is, and can be guided to greater heights with time. Gains power from long term satisfaction or genuine love, especially when the action is beneficial to the situation as a whole. Specializes in using the blade.

Kalani Mane - Adrenaline junkie. This islander seeks out adventure in all of its forms, even that which would be dangerous to her well-being. Known for physical hobbies like surfing, rock climbing, and hiking.

Valère Mahaut - An aspiring mechanic. When he's working on his passions, he's calm, cool, collected. Outside of that, he's brash, impulsive, and somewhat rowdy. He's really just a confused young adult who had been pressured into being the best at what he did because of familial and societal expectations, but he really just wants to learn his passions and reflect on his own self. He's the type of guy who could be calendar supermodel, but never will be because of his near-bullying attitude.

Hadley Simmons - A space marine specializing in marksmanship and scouting. He's a bit of a loner, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person. He's an artist in his spare time, a mischief maker while off duty, and while he isn't the strongest out there, he's quite agile and sneaky. He enjoys exploring the area and getting into places he's not supposed to only to say that he could and did. Hadley has also picked up some mechanical skills, able to piece together simple to intermediate objects using scrap or junk harvested from other broken materials.

Aylindyan Ei'fasora - Lunar elf princess. Star blessed by The Dancer, Dyan has skills in many subjects regarding entertainment, politics, and some martial arts. Her current role is to marry an enemy general to help heal the world that's been ravaged by war.

Verðandi - A chosen warrior who has been brought back to life through mysterious means. She has sworn to fight against the growing darkness of the world, and tried to find and instill hope to those who remain. A kind and serene middle aged woman, though she's not afraid to knock some sense into idiots or call it like it is. Prefers heavier armor and a sword and shield.

AR's Character Arsenal

Just gonna give the charries a little barracks to hang out in. Leading post, so will throw updates and stuff in this message I guess. Nothing too fancy here.

The list is in no particular order, just kind of who I can think of when they come around. Strikethroughs are those who are actively taken romantically. They're not off the table for rping, but I would feel a little weird about using them in a romantic fashion when they're already doing the same thing somewhere else.

Added another dream

AR's Universal Check - General Ideas, Plots, and Dream Worlds (18+)

Edited main post to add another dream world. Apocalypse zombies, yay!

AR's Universal Check - General Ideas, Plots, and Dream Worlds (18+)

Edited to add yet another dream (seriously why do I keep having alien invasion dreams?) and condensed the post into a bunch of Hiders to look a little more clean.

Several plot ideas.

Oooh, a fellow Green Hellian!

Interest for numbers 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

Soft interest for numbers 5 and 9.

I usually do dms, but seeing as how this isn't explicitly 1x1, I'll post here so others can see.

Edited to add another dream I just woke up from. I really didn't want to leave that one, but it started to turn into a weird hybrid of Prey (2017) and Alien

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

Finished BG:EE, got a bit bored of The Black Pits (will finish eventually) and started BG2:EE. I'm ever so closer to finally getting into BG3, though I am quite enjoying the journey of the first two games!

Also finally playing the first Resident Evil game. I've only played RE 5 and 6, seen some of the other games. It is straight up just early 2000s exploratory puzzle horror game, with lots of backtracking across the mansion for this item or this switch, etc. The limited save system is nice, and extends the game a bunch because I have a habit of dying several times before getting back to the save spot. Plus, with my squirrel brain, I forget where enemies, puzzle hints, and items I can't pick up at the time are, so it's a lot more wandering and referring to the map every few seconds. Also, who the hell designed this place?? I know it's basically a cover for a virus lab but still, did each researcher and security person have to go through this crap when they worked there? And how does anyone even try to live here? It's a maze, and makes no sense as an actual house to me.

On the other hand, I am quite enjoying Evil Within 2. The open world surprised me, but it definitely fits. The "vault" system like Dying Light and Dead Space 3 is also pretty cool, little optional areas to get a bunch of gear and upgraded weapons, though I am curious how they're going to link the Big Bad from game 1 to game 2, cuz I haven't seen them yet, or at least not in a manner that I recognize.

And then there's Starship Troopers: Extraction. It's hilarious, just like the movie, and tons of whiny players that my team gets to troll. It's great! A little repetitive with the missions, but the maps are pretty rotated and keep it fresh. It's a game that actually encourages teamwork and synergy in a PvE environment.

In other SciFi news, Empyrion Galactic Survival has announced they have a DLC coming out! Which I am extremely out of touch of the story with the base game, so I thought it wasn't a great idea since last I knew the story mode wasn't even finished, but that was... what, a few years ago since I played the actual story? Like maybe 4 or 5 years? Dang. But the teaser trailer looks cool!
