Opus Cocoona

This sounds very interesting, I've only a passing understanding of the Dark Souls lore, but this seems to draw a lot on the Lovecraftian Mythos which I know a bit more about if that would suffice.

Amon Phothep

Name: Amon Phothep
Epithet: Grand Magister of Nehekara
Age: 200 years
Sex: Male
Height: 6ft
Weight: 13 stone
Race: Tomb Liche - The ancient practices of Nehekara demand that mages and royalty be bound to their physical forms that they might serve the realm for eternity. As such mortal souls are often bound to their own decaying bodies that they might have a vessel in this world. Efforts are made to preserve the body by ensconcing it in enchanted armour and bandages allowing what is in effect a shambling corpse to act as though it were still a man of flesh and blood. Often mistaken for the Viyore, the Tomb Liches are anything but, fully possessed of their former intelligence they serve diligently as best as their undead form allows.

Art Work of Amon

Amon is an ancient being, most of his flesh has long since decayed leaving little more than a skeleton beneath the tightly wrapped bandages that can be glimpsed underneath his armour. The armour itself also appears somewhat of an oddity, formed into the symbols of Nehekara. Hawks, skulls, serpents, and scorpions dot the armour. He also carries on his person a grave mask. The gold mask is a facsimile of his mortal visage, and he wears it when dealing with those who might be intimidated by his deathly visage.

Region of Origin: Nehekara is a windswept place, a desert barren even by the standards of the day. The people of Nehekara were a short lived people, the inhospitable nature of their environment meant that even the most brilliant of Nehekara's citizens died swiftly to the terrible environs in which they tried to survive. But they could not leave. Nehekara had one redeeming feature that kept its people struggling to survive the damnation of the desert.

Vorpal-Obsidian; stronger than steel, light as leather, and an excellent conduit for magic the people of Nehekara mined the resource and sought to harness it as a means to end their suffering.

The wizards of Nehekara began to fashion bodies from Vorpal Obsidian, shaped into the form of Nehekara's long forgotten gods. They then attempted to bind the souls of willing sacrifices to the bodies that they might provide the Nehekaran's with the hardiness necessary to survive the horrors of their home. The initial trials were horrific soul after soul was shattered, others were trapped in their new Obsidian bodies but were unable to move and others lost their minds in the process. But given time the wizards of Nehekara mastered the process and transferred the souls of their finest warriors into bodies fashioned from Vorpal Obsidian creating the first of the Ushabti. They lost much of their personality in the process, but their martial prowess and fierce loyalty remained intact making them the perfect warrior servants.

The wizards kept experimenting, wondering if the properties of Vorpal Obsidian could be used to preserve mortal flesh. The cycle of horrific but necessary experiments began anew. Many men and women were reduced to rotting malefic horrors before the process was perfected. Soon the expensive process of creating Tomb Liches was perfected, and made mandatory for all wizards and members of the royal house. Their minds were bound to their mortal forms for eternity that their powers and experience might be utilised by Nehekara for all eternity.

Powers: Like all Nehekaran wizards Amon is a master of death magic. Able to sap the life from those who oppose him; he is also able to manipulate the dead to serve his whims. He uses this latter power rarely however, for outside of Nehekara necromancy is frowned upon. As such he has made far more use of the Vorpal-Craft, the Nehkaran name for the practice of creating and commanding Ushabti constructs.

Amon is accompanied by a single Ushabti warrior. Sekmeht has served Amon faithfully, even before he became a Lich. The colossal warrior has saved him on more than one occasion and its ancient stone form is marred by numerous sword-strokes destined for its undead master.

Sekmeht

Witch RP

Like @Lady Selune said, when would this be set @ribcageroses? I love the idea and I've got a few characters knocking about, but I don't know which would be the best without the time period.

RWBY

How's that? Tried to polish things up a bit, but knowing me I've probably missed something.

Actus Celondim

Name: Actus Celondim
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance:



(The first image isn't quite right as there should be gauntlets not too dissimilar to these worn over the gloves, just with shorter retractable blades.)

---

Equipment: A number of spare claw blades with various dust cores for differing effects in combat. When it comes to armour Actus strikes a balance, he isn't decked down in armour but under his long flowing robe he wears a dull grey cuirass, pauldrons of the same colour as well as vambraces and greaves. He also has a face covering chrome mask that he wears under his hood. The helmet is a single smooth surface and from the outside looks rather innocuous. But is capable of taking quite a serious hit, it also features a HUD link for Actus' scroll that he can use whilst in combat.

The Gentlemen: Actus carries a short-mid length sword that slots inside of his cane. The blade is designed to dissipate the effect of dust or aura based attacks making it an excellent blocking weapon, but limiting it's offensive options compared to more exotic weapons.

Corvus: These are two matched gauntlets with blades that extend from over the knuckle 2ft. There are four blades on each gauntlet each infused with a dust core for differing effect, Actus can fight with these brutal claws in melee or he can fire the various blades as lethal projectiles over great differences. Replacing the claws is as simple as taking one from the sheaths attached to his legs and snapping the new blade in place. Each gauntlet also incorporates a single grappler mounted at the wrist that Actus can use to help him traverse vertical terrain.

Not strictly a weapon in and of themselves, Actus can throw the claw blades used by his gauntlets as throwing daggers if need be. They'd have the same effect as being fired from his gauntlets but have less kinetic energy behind them.

Semblance, Flicker: Whilst not able to turn fully invisible using his semblance Actus becomes almost undetectable impossible to see or hear. He can maintain this ability for long periods of time, however as soon as he attacks the effect is lost.

Skills:

Blade Dancer: Whilst his sister preferred to keep her targets at a distance, raining fire and destruction from afar, Actus prefers things up close and personal. To this end he's been a keen student of close quarter combat from a young age, and has spent many of his hours training in various close quarter fighting styles. Daggers and swords are both familiar tools to Actus, and whilst he's still got more to learn it'd be foolish to take him as an easy mark where blades are involved.

Agile Hunter: Actus is rather slight, his semblance and close combat fighting style predisposing him to stealthy attacks and sudden strikes. Actus whilst more agile than most can't afford to slog it out in a direct fight. Whilst he could hold his own, he'd much prefer to strike from the shadows. Relying on his speed and nimble movements to overpower his foes.

Tech-Nut: Actus loves to take things apart to see how they work, be that programs or machines. Seriously don't leave this guy alone with your tech if you want it to stay in one piece…

---

Personality: Actus is very withdrawn by nature, his semblance and hobbies predisposing him to work alone and spending time by himself. That's not to say he can't work with other people, but you'd be much more likely to find him secreted away somewhere working on a new gadget instead of hanging out with everyone at lunch. Despite this however if you do take the time to get to know him then you'll find you've a very loyal friend indeed. Say the word and Actus will be more than willing to put his neck on the line for his friends.

Evasive, introverted, eloquent and most certainly eccentric Actus is hard to get to know, but a pleasure to have around once you do.

---

Short Bio: Actus had a rather typical upbringing for an Atlas kid. He grew up in a small cold village mainly with his Mother and older sister.

Actus didn't see much of his father growing up, his father being a Specialist for the Atlesian military. Despite this however, both Actus and his older sister Jessica wanted to become Specialists like their father (much to their mothers chagrin).

When he was home Mr Celondim taught his kids how to fight, how to work with technology, how to go unnoticed. But more importantly he taught them when to use their gifts, what for. Above all else he imbued his children with an honourable and disciplined approach to life.

When their father was away the two would often spar with one another, or create gadgets and very, very simple robots. They were contented, eventually Jessica left home and went to study at Atlas Academy's Junior section. Before eventually going on to join her father as a Specialist. Meanwhile Actus spent his time training to the best of his ability before leaving Atlas and travelling to Signal Academy. Whilst his father was Atlas through and through, his mother had originally hailed from Vale, and so Actus thought that by going to train in Vale, he might assuage his mother's doubts about him becoming a specialist.

After several years of training Actus graduated from Signal with honours, and went on to attended Beacon academy. He was contented, at least, until the battle of Beacon. Actus like many of the students played a part in trying to hold off the Grimm, White Fang and corrupted Atlas military droids that suddenly beset Beacon. Whilst he fought to the best of his ability he was eventually pushed back alongside many others to the evacuation centres, and there fought to try and hold a perimeter whilst civilians were evacuated.

The City of White Marble

The City of White Marble

The year is 443 PSE, the people's of the world are united, or so they seem. Over much of the world the nations of old have put aside their differences in order to once and for all rid themselves of the scourge that struck them down all those years ago. Mages.

443 years ago, the great and terrible sundering occurred. The warriors of 5 kingdoms some 300,000 warriors under arms, marched upon The White Marble City, the final bastion of Magekind. It should've led to a swift victory, the utter annihilation of that which they all feared. But it was not to be. The warriors were scattered to the four winds and never seen again.

Since then, the old nations of the world have bided their time, rebuilding their armies, regaining their courage. But their ancient enemies haven't been idle during that time, and The White Marble City and its people stand ready to defend their desert home.

I've got a little more written up and ready to go if people show interest or are simply curious. (This is an old 1X1 plot of mine that I'm trying on a larger scale). I'm looking for a smallish group of about 3-4. We'd be reprising the role of either Mages living within The City of White Marble or that of one of the soldiers sent to destroy it once and for all.

RWBY

@Azure Sea I was the GM of my last game and he was meant to be a senior student leading some 1st years at Atlas academy. I felt it suited him to be quite powerful what with Atlas being a military kingdom. But I can tone him down so that he's more in line with what you need, just tell me what needs altering.

RWBY

Found it! I know it'll take some editing to fit with what you've got in mind but I hope the broad strokes are alright?

Skills:

Master of Daggers: If its short and its got a blade then Actus is all over it. A master when it comes to short close combat weapons he is a fast yet powerful melee combatant. He's also lethal when it comes to the use of short ranged projectiles.

Agile Brute: Whilst not as fast as some, or as hardy as others Actus is a good balance of the two. He can move quickly and deftly able to trade blows with nimble opponents well enough, but at the same time he can take a hit and give one back twice as hard.

Tech-Nut: Actus loves to take things apart to see how they work, be that programs or machines. Seriously don't leave this guy alone with your tech if you want it to stay in one piece…

Around the same time Actus was joining the Junior Section himself, Jessica completed her training at the Atlas Academy Senior Section and became an Atlas specialist like her father.

Now that he is to start his training at the Senior Section of Atlas Academy, Actus is hoping to do his family proud. More than anything he wants to live up to his family name and the high expectations that come with it.

RWBY

I'll see if I can dig him out, might take a while to find him but if not I remember a lot of his sheet anyway. Shall I just post his CS here once I either find the old one or re-write it?

RWBY

I'd definitely be up for this if you get things going. I've tried to take part in quite a few RWBY rp's in the past but they always fizzled out. Hopefully I can reuse my old character?
