Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

@Kafka Komedy Would this work for Glanz? ( imgur.com/1byM5Nz ) Or this for Perinne? ( imgur.com/J5Qr98z )

I dont have a good one for Theives

@iHxzardx

They both work, but I think BC already claimed the King/Queen Perinne? Maybe?

<Snipped quote by Kafka Komedy>

If I'm not mistaken you were a player in my Corpse Party RP I did roughly two years ago, I believe :D

@Delta44

Hot damn that was a long time ago. Sucks that it burned out, Yosuke was a very interesting character, as were his interactions with Naomi.

@iHxzardx Not really, If they do, I guess it's up to the leaders to decide. If they don't want to, I guess these could work.
Perinne; White and light blue
Thieves; Grey and brown
Glanz; Black and gold/purple

Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

@iHxzardx Who can you be a queen for? Well the only true queen would be the Perinne empire's leader, but the Thieve's Guild leader is often called the Bandit Prince/Princess and the runner of the Glanz can call herself whatever she wants. General Glanz/General [Firstname], Admiral Glanz/[Firstname] Or even Kaiser or Queen Glanz/[Firstname]

Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

@iHxzardx Lapi is basically Materia from Final Fantasy 7. Rocks that allow one to use magic. As for you character's objective, it depends on which side they rep. Perinne? Uphold tradition, protect the kingdom from the Glanz Empire. Thieve's Guild? Destroy the Glanz Empire at any cost. Glanz Empire? Bring about a revolution by taking down the Perinne kingdom.

Alright, I'm certainly interested in participating in this, perhaps as the Perinne Empire's king if nobody else wants that role; a bit of a miscommunication-based palaver happened last time I attempted to sign up for a codified role in a game, so before anything else, I'd like to ask whether there's anything specific you'd want me to include in the king's profile, and whether there's anything specific that he in particular would be unable to utilise or otherwise be forbidden from being, e.g. a race other than human or something. Along similar lines, what other races even exist in this world? Elves, dwarves, dragons, that sort of thing?

@BCTheEntity

For specific things to include in the King's profile, some sort of glaring flaw or two that would allow or facilitate corruption in the kingdom. Justice seeking to the point of ignoring the citizenry or making mountains out of mole hills. Or maybe a touch of greed or pride. Basically, give the Glanz a reason to want to fight you. As for limits, I'd generally prefer a more humanoid race, Human, dwarf, elf, or halfling. Maybe something heroic like a half-dragon, too. Just clear the idea with me first.

As for races regularly, you can be just about anything pretty humanoid. Basically if it stands upright and has arms, you're good. That character I'm writing up is a mountain tengu that looks like this for reference.

My name's Hiro Sura, chum!

If you're asking for races that, for certain, exist, than;

• Human
• Demon
• Satyr
• Tengu
• Slime

Of course, that's just the species already directly mentioned either in the OP, or, again, that character I'm writing up. Expect him soon by the way!

If any of you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

Cool. @Hanabira I'll set you up a spot, and myself one as well. I want a sample CS for the OP so I'll go ahead and make one of my characters soon too.

@Delta44 You do look familiar, though I can't say from where. Failed Int. Check? An RP based on an MMO? Either way, glad to see you here.

Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

<Snipped quote by Kafka Komedy>

I'm considering the Lapi at the moment, but I'm unsure of how to go about it... as in, what he might specialise in. Healing, perhaps would make sense... but I'll think about it. This is just a draft, and my way of showing you that whilst I'm very new here, I can at least knit a few sentences together! He'll likely change a bit by the time you get this boat out of the harbour.

A hider? Errrr, yup - literally just learned how to do it. I'll have him packed away nice and neat in a second.

In any case, consider this my formal dedication to this RP. I only tend to take part in one at a time, so I wont be disappearing on you :D

@Footman

Well if you're looking for Lapi to supplement his physical fighting, you could have a buffing Lapi, or a Lapi that enchants your weapon. Also, your dedication is much appreciated, and I'm happy to have you on board.

Tenebria's Scales [Freeform, Fantasy, Military]

@Footman A character this early? Awesome! Though the lack of Lapi will probably put you at a disadvantage, other than that I see no issue with the character. Mind putting him in a hider though?

In Character Info

An old man sits at the tavern's bar, weary and worn down by life. His eye catches yours, and he beckons you over. "Come, sit down, these times have been trying on us all." He says. You take a seat next to him, and he begins recalling something. "This war's been going on for so long. Since I was just a child. It's so sad, children now they'll grow up to this. This fighting, these battles, leaving villages destroyed, and homes fatherless. Doesn't matter which side of the fight you're on. The kingdom's real ruler, Perinne or those Glanz folks tryin' to uproot everything. Even that little upstart thief has a say in the fate of Tenebria.” He pauses to take a drink. Before he's able to continue, a drunk a seat away mumbles “Damn Glanz...” Another takes offense at his statement, remarking that the Glanz Empire is much better than the Perinne rule they're under now. The argument seems to start getting quite heated. Looking over to the old man, he seems to have disappeared. As you look around for him, another drunk calls you over, intent on settling a bet or argument of some kind. “You're with the Thieves right? Neither the Glanz nor the Perinne are righteous rulers!” He asks. The man next to him cuts in. “The Perinne are doing a fine job ruling. You agree, yes?” It seems they won't leave you alone until you reveal your allegiance.

Well? Do you fight for the kingdom? For revolution? Or for yourself?

TL;DR Summary

• - This is a story about the three sides of a war that's been going on for almost a century. The current ruling family who were born into royalty, the Perinne family, the Glanz Empire, the almost corrupt rebels aiming to instate a new kingdom atop the old, or the Thieves Guild, a group of bandits turned good (well, mostly good.) They serve neither the King nor the Rebel Crown, instead aiming to end the war by any means necessary, even banditry and assassination of the King's own men.
• - I will need a King, a Rebel Leader, and a Bandit Prince/Princess. If you want to apply for the role, speak to me, present your concept, and we'll workshop it. If two people want to attempt the same role, then generally, first come first serve but if one fits the role better, I will choose them.
• - Any who are not Leaders may be either part of each group's "main force," Or be someone else generally close to a position of power. (each faction has a council of members who are the second-in-command to their respective leaders and advise them. This is the main force. There are 7 on the King's Council, 6 on the Glanz Legion, and 4 on the Fiendish Four.)
• - Communication is key. If you want to plan something with me and the others? Do so! Collab? Generally, I'm up for it.
• - Subject to my discretion obviously, but you can have some pretty outrageous character concepts. A slime, spirit, or lich isn't out of the ballpark, and neither is a mutant, a dragonkin, or a werewolf. Just keep it relatively human sized.
• - This is based off of Darkness and Light by ViolentViolet.
• - 2-3 characters is the limit.

How Magic Works

Magic is generally only used through small crystalline rocks called "Lapi." Said stones hold magic power, and by stimulating it with a fraction of your own energy, you can use its effects. These range from healing, to manipulation or generation of certain elements, to temporary alterations of your physical form. Some effects can even last for up to an hour, and some almost unheard of ones are even stranger. Lapi are both amazing and odd, and scientists, scholars and alchemists alike can't figure out what makes them produce such outlandish affects, only that they form from even larger crystals deep underground. This makes Lapis production a challenge to all but the most high ranking of the Khint Alchemist Clan, who have excavated a crystal of their own and have found a way to force it to create Lapis at an accelerated rate, though even they aren't sure how to manipulate any other factors of production like strength or ability.

One can recreate a Lapis's ability naturally, but without much practice, familiarity, and experience, it's a dangerous game. Only the most skilled of Magi have even a few Lapi mastered, and even fewer have learned how to manipulate said ability once learned. Another unfortunate side of Lapi is it's effect on humans. If one is around or uses Lapi a lot during pregnancy, a human child can "absorb" its effect, coming out deformed or with uncontrollable magical abilities. Occasionally, one may escape physical alteration and self destructive magics, leaving only useful abilities. Why this happens only to humans, no one seems to know, though studies have been done and this may be linked to humans' propensity to mastering Lapi. It also seems to be happening more often, as more Lapi is used in war time, and the Khint have upped production, putting more Lapi into the hands of commoners.

Though only humans may be mutated by Lapi, other races are blessed with abilities, though this phenomena decidedly different to Lapi magic and is regarded as "Extranatural Talent" by scholars, ET for short. These are generally given to most if not all members of a race, and allow them a leg up on the competition. Demons seem to be the only exception of this rule, who seem to have completely random ETs. They also are unable to master Lapi, though they can use it just fine.

Banned Lapi

Although I reserve the right to reject Lapi, you really shouldn't even think about putting these on your character.

• Instant Death
• Clairvoyance
• Instant teleportation
• Invulnerability of any kind.
• Manipulation of time or space
• Immunity to or nullification of other Lapi

ADDITIONAL INFO

Sample Character

Hiro Sura

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Race: Mountain Tengu

Equipment

• Scarf - An enchanted scarf with small chunks of Lapi embedded throughout that allow Hiro to control his explosive nature.
• Pack - A small hip-mounted satchel that can contain numerous useful items.
• Machete - Dual serrated machete useful for chopping up plants and people.

Abilities

• Levitation - Using their tiny wings, mountain tengu can levitate about 2-3 feet off the ground for about a minute before a quick rest.
• Explosive Nature Control - Though most Mountain Tengu are magically bound to explode upon too rough an impact, Hiro's scarf not only allows him freedom from this curse, but also allows him to generate these explosions at will.
• Communication - Blessing of the gods? Inherited trait? Who knows, but every member of the Sura tree is able to talk to and understand every race with little effort.

Talents

• Excellent at bringing together a team.
• Above average stamina and speed.
• Good fighter.

Personality: Like most tengu, he's quite lazy and unintelligent, but only relative to other races. For a tengu, he's actually quite motivated and smart, seemingly because of his mother's excursions to towns and villages near the mountains. He also doesn't seem to share his race's love of mischief, though he doesn't take things seriously all the time either. In fact, he seems to be completely unaffected by pressure, always confident and scatterbrained. Still, this joyfulness doesn't come with empathy. He rarely considers how people other than his tribe feel and can be naive. Overall, he's just an average person, and he seems to accept the fact without any pretenses. Seems to always end his sentences with "chum" for some reason.

Biography: Born from a long line of different races starting with his great grandfather, a human turned monster. Hiro had a regular Tengu mother Nana, chief of the tribe actually, and satyr who had inhabited the mountain, the inheritor of the Sura title. Keeping inline with his nature, the satyr was quick to leave Nana once Hiro was born, leaving naught but a loose family history. Nana named Hiro after the progenitor of the line. This fascination with her lover's family history lead her and Hiro to visit many human settlements to ask about a human named Hero. Though not many remembered him, those who did seemed to disagree. Some say he was one of the best chefs in the land, often serving the king. Others say he used to be a knight in the King's Guard before trekking towards the mountain with his wife and never returning. Of course, this didn't matter to the young Hiro. He was much more interested in the human gadgets. Frequently he would be caught absentmindedly holding onto said objects, though his cute nature was enough to escape without much more than a scolding from most.

As Hiro came a bit closer to succeeding his mother, she taught him the two most important facets of being a Tengu chief. Being strong enough to defend the tribe, and the ability to rally the normally docile Tengu. Both skills would prove invaluable to the future, and he thanks his mother every day for the training. Though most Tengu wielded a polearm or a similar easily craftable and long weapon, Hiro trained frequently with his machete instead, both of which his mother had traded for. He was also given the "Chief Scarf," a relic that was passed down to the village chief, and then their subordinates in the likely event of death. Said scarf allowed tengu to control their regularly explosive form. Training was relatively regular, supplemented with a Tengu's natural combat intuition it was enough to make him a good fighter.

Drawing ever closer to the day Hiro would become chief, tengu started disappearing. First it was happening to other tribes, some members mysteriously never came back. Then whole tribes were disappearing, and eventually Hiro's people had been targeted. Some of his friends had taken leave, only to never come back. Nana began limiting her visits to nearby towns, eventually cutting herself off completely when she returned with "Prin Leather," a mysterious substance that felt suspiciously like tengu skin. It seemed that the mountain tengu who disappeared were being poached, something Hiro absolutely would not stand for. He vowed, on that day, to give the tengu a voice, and to stop the murder.

Hiro journeyed first to the capital, only to be denied an audience with the king. He was a simple tengu, and no claims that he was a tribe leader would dissuade them. He would have to gain notoriety, and to do so he joined the [FACTION] Army, rising through the ranks by indicting his own squad into the ranks. Eventually, he would even gain a spot in the [MAIN FORCE]

Milo

Milo Ferreira

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Backstory: Milo was born in 1999 to a loving mother, Victoria, and a stay at home dad who worked as a direct salesperson, Roy. The couple lived together, but was not married, and Milo was actually an accident. Though Victoria wanted a shotgun wedding, Roy denied her, and would continue to do so. for 3 years this would go on as they raised Milo, Victoria growing ever more suspicious of Roy. He never seemed to leave the house during the day, but most nights he would take leave only to come back a few hours later. Things reached a boiling point when Victoria and Roy got in a fight, and Victoria said she was going to take Milo and leave. Roy would not be having any of that. At that moment, he grabbed the four year old Milo, and killed him, before filling the boy with his own blood. Victoria screamed, but Roy knocked her unconscious, before sending them both to bed. The next years would be trying.

Once Milo woke up the next day, Roy informed his son he could no longer go out during the day any more, and he and father would be playing some nights. Milo was not particularly peeved about either of these things, enjoying the time with his father and being an inside child. His mother, on the other hand, was informed she would continue to work, and to never tell anyone about his 'gift' for threat of being sent to an asylum, or worse, death. After that, Milo's days were spent taking online classes, which his vampiric brain allowed him to accel at, and his nights were filled with training his vampire body to continue the vampire bloodline, no matter who would challenge the Ferreira's.

Said training exercises were originally quite rigorous, and Milo demonstrated his potential. But one day, as he was sparring with his father, things changed. Milo was on the ropes, almost unconscious. His father seemed to be hitting him with punches without even moving his fist. As Roy moved in for the kill, Milo threw one final punch in an attempt to stop his father and gain some footing. But when he looked, he did not see what he was expecting. In front of his father was a transparent, almost gorilla like creature with piercing blue eyes. On Milo's hand was a square, glass box. Confused, Milo stopped fighting and asked his father what was going on. Roy simply stood there, in stunned silence, before leaving forever.

Once Milo returned home but his father did not, Milo's mother was overjoyed. Her life seemed finally free of the menace overbearing them, and Milo could live a relatively normal life. Milo, on the other hand, was confused, and angry. But, his mother was there for him, and for the first time in a long time, they hugged. It was short lived, half-hearted, and too tight. But Milo and his mother had finally bonded on some level. After that, Victoria vowed to teach Milo how to be a huamn, instead of a vampire. Milo vowed to discover what was happening with his life.

For three days and three nights he scoured the corners of the internet looking for some sort of lead on what was going on. Sure, he was a vampire, a spawn of evil destined to rule over the world, but his father never told him of seeing strange things and boxes. Eventually, he had discovered 2 things. 1, the thing he and his father had was called a stand. And 2. His was incredibly weak. Try as he might, the box demonstrated no ability other than letting him morph through it. Still, without his father around to pressure him for training, he could focus more on other things.

Milo finally discovered his true interest in life; being lazy. Whenever he wasn't taking online school, he would be reading a comic book, playing some game, or doing half-hearted research on wikipedia. Life without his father was pretty good, even with his mother's occasional nagging. One night, though, when he had returned from draining a poor soul for blood, a necessary evil, he was greeted by the corpse of his mother, and a transparent creature.

Milo didn't know how to react. Again, he was confused and enraged at the sight of the thing, that "stand" of his father. Then he was saddened, though he couldn't say why, and finally he was jealous. His father had taken something else away from him. Knowledge. Time. Enjoyment. And now, his mother. More than anything in the world he wanted to know where his father was, and his wish was granted. Appearing in front of him, the Heart of Glass showed him the way. Looking through the box revealed a rainbow colored strand, leading from the creature, to the kitchen. Milo rushed past the creature with incredible speed, only to find the kitchen was empty, and, turning back, so was the foyer. No mother, no creature, no father.

In that moment, Milo felt worse than he ever had. He was a weakling, his stand was a weakling, and he couldn't stop his father from taking everything from him. He vowed, that day, to never, ever forgive his father, and to kill him where he stood. From here, he began doing research on vampires. What could kill them. He had to disprove many popular myths, like garlic and stakes, but eventually, he found two theories that seemed to be correct. Sun could kill vampires, and Stands could kill vampire. Now, Milo is on the lookout for stand users who could help him defeat his father, either by training with them, or forcing them to join him in his quest.

Powers: Vampirism - Being infused with the vampiric essence of his father at birth, Milo has complete control over his body. He is stronger, faster, and more perceptive than your average human. His cells also regenerate quickly, and he can independently control any part of his body. Some particular techniques he has mastered are "Blast Finger", forcing every pore in his hand to eject blood violently, essentially a blood explosion. He can also focus this technique into a laser, "Shine Beam." He also is adept at using his father's technique, "Vaporization Freeze" which allows him to lower his body temperature to such an insane level it can freeze anything he touches. He's also working on a reverse technique to this where he heats his body to light himself on fire.This all comes at a price though. Sun will turn him into ash, and Hamon is effective at destroying him.

Stand - He is also in the possession of a stand, albeit one incredibly weak. It is a simple glass box with a hinge. Although Milo is unable to open the box, he can still see stands, and even instantly identify their users. Even though Milo can't open hinge, he can stick his fist inside the box, and with that he can harm other stands directly, though only with the same power as his punch. Milo calls his stand Heart of Glass ACT 1 because he is convinced that he can level his weakling stand up enough to be a match for his father.
