Boss Fight: The Game

Yes, I am just giving a last call for any possible newcomers.

[Advanced] Searching the Aether for a Spot of Brilliance

I figure I might as well send this one to the top instead of making a new one. I have started searching again.

SomeSoldSoul's 1x1 Request Box

You have piqued my interest with the God-Gate plot. It sounds quite interesting, indeed. I would be happy to play as the boy in that one, if you are still looking.

Boss Fight: The Game

Updated the votes on the main post. We technically have two votes for Dracula, since he falls into the 'faster' category, so he's winning.

The Great Virtue of Gathering Mana's Spirit

As the title suggests, I would like to gather one or two people for a plot I have in mind set in the world of Seiken Densetsu, or Secret of Mana for those who are only familiar with the first game. Should one person apply, they will embark on a solo quest to uncover secrets long lost and stop a great evil from destroying the world, but should two people show enough interest, they can join forces against the darkness for the fate of mankind. I am looking for Main Characters. Supporting roles will be played by myself unless otherwise stated, and most of the world will be under my control. Your character and his/her actions are your own and will carry consequences to the best of my ability.

I can post fairly frequently during the week, but I am not available on the weekends. Expect two or three posts a week, depending on your speed. I expect players who can display a firm grasp of descriptive writing. I'm looking for quality over quantity at all times. Sometimes posts are long, full of description and feeling, but other times dialog and miniscule actions can carry just as much weight in a smaller post. I don't want to limit anyone's writing style, but I want people who can say what needs to be said, regardless of post length. As the world builder, my posts will probably end up longer, but the more description you can give me, the better.

More details can be discussed within the thread or PM. Contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Boss Battle: Diabolus

Slow response due to issues at work. Things are solved and the first battle is won. Feel free to post a nice closure for Free and we will move to the next fight soon.

Boss Battle: Diabolus

While the flasks did not directly hit their mark, the splash from them certainly did. The first estus passed through the armor, shattering on contact with the bones underneath, while the second barely missed, hitting the outer shell. The damage from the combined flasks was potent, decimating the remaining innards of the beast, and burning away at the pulsing core that was his heart. Through the pain of death, Diabolus swung his massive hammer, carrying the momentum down to meet the impact point. With the deafening crack of a shock wave, the maul clashed with the ground, causing a violent upheaval of rock and showering the area with the buildings' debris. The eruption quaked the city, and the ground collapsed around the crater the beast stood in as subterranean tunnels and caverns crumbled beneath the pressure. Like an explosion, the wave carried into the surrounding blocks, covering four hundred feet away in all directions. More buildings collapsed under the shock and the remaining roads split into ruin.

As the dust settled, the form of Diabolus could be seen gripping the hammer tightly, hunched over with barely anything holding him together. The now faint red glow of his heart ceased to burn, and the corpse of the beast crumbled apart, turning into a thin black mist before vanishing completely.

The Maul was defeated, but far from gone. It would return, one day. Hundred, perhaps thousands of years from now, in another world, or another Time. Such is the way of The Eight.

Northern Grassland

Turning his head to get a better view, he gazed towards the source of the voice. While the sight surprised him, it made much more sense than some of the other people and creatures he had already witnessed battling amidst the field. Pushing against the ground, Roas slowly stood up. His armor clanked together as he moved, the thick sound of metal against metal giving away nearly every twitch he made. The warrior faced the aggressor of fire and spoke with a stout confidence.

"You know, from a tactical standpoint, yelling at your opponent is not the best way to initiate combat. Under normal circumstances, I would call you an arrogant dog for grossly overestimating your knowledge about your target. I hate to assume, but I am sure you know nothing about who I am and what I am capable of, and to say you will boil my insides on the sole grounds that I am the closest person to you makes me assume you are not as strong as you say. That or you are so overwhelmingly powerful that no creature could ever stand a chance of touching you, but if that were the case, I feel like you would've just done it without the need to announce your threats."

With that, Roas reached up with his right arm and gripped the upper hilt of The Dragonslayer, lifting it slightly to detach it from his back, swinging the massive blade forward to point at Flint, raising his left arm to grasp the lower handle as it reached the front. The blade had a slightly gold sheen to it, despite the actual steel looking worn and aged. He held the blade firmly with the precision of nearly two decades of practice. The blade was more than just a weapon to Roas, it was part of his very being, and he knew how to use it as an extension of his body.

"My name is Roas Drasle, World Famous Dragonslayer and Mercenary Commander. I'll give you one chance to back down. I don't want to fight you, but I have the tactical advantage in this battle I will not hesitate to utilize it to its full extent. What's your choice?"

The Everlasting Arena: Character Deposit

That's why I was thinking about having the crew collaborate in a separate area, to keep clutter in the main thread down to a minimum. Now, there are other ways to achieve this kind of thing besides a high level sci fi ship. It's what I had in mind, but you bring up a good point about the tech. It could also be more akin to a steampunk or science fantasy airship, think Final Fantasy and the like. Something as simple as an attack helicopter or tank would also work for crew based combat.

The Everlasting Arena: Character Deposit

So I got a rather silly thought the other day. I was wondering to myself what the strength tier of a space station would be, and while a large war vessel may not fit well in this scenario, I wonder if a smaller ship with a crew of three or four would be able to participate. The idea I had would consist of multiple Tier 0 characters who simply controlled the various systems of a ship or mech, possibly Tier 6+ depending on what it was equipped with. Maybe the players would start some kind of PM to collaborate on a post for the main thread. I don't know how viable it would be to have multiple people involved in creating a single post, but it has an interesting sound to it. Would such a collaborated character work in this instance? If so, would anyone like to join me in this endeavor? It might even open up another section of the Everlasting Arena to include the skies above the landmass.
