Overlord: How Like A God

I've updated the final notes as well as the equipment for what I feel would roughly describe her kit. I might alter her lore slightly as well, but idk might leave it as is. (maybe more to add a snippet on Akai's persona more than anything else. But uh as you can guess, she's the edgy lone wolf lol)

Arknights: The Dark Woods (ENDED)

"Yeah but I don't want to set the forest on fire!" Oblivious to the disadvantages that clinging to him forced upon Dragonheart, the girl clung on for dear life as he took off and sprinted away from the wolf. The vulpo kept her eyes firmly shut as she curled up against his chest, all nine of her tails wrapping firmly around him to secure her without hindering his movements. If anything, one tail would shoot out and steady them by grabbing onto a nearby tree if they stumbled, or swat at a branch to move it to help him maneuver through the forest unhindered. She elected not to look over his shoulder and instead pay more attention to their more immediate surroundings, she didn't want to see the monstrous wolf closing on them. It was bad enough she could hear it's hulking mass tear through the forest through brute force alone!

So when Dragonheart asked her to close her eyes, well she did as he asked as he threw his weapon. It was easy to guess what would happen next as she felt him leap off the ground, her body feeling weightless for that moment in time before the soft thud of him latching onto the tree branches above, feeling it sway for a moment before settling. Opening her eyes as Dragonheart ran her through their immediate options. She gave it a moment to think over, it was a good plan. They needed to work out their location and the ground below was well...she could hear the wolf snarling and snapping at the tree beneath them. Obviusly not ready to give up the hunt on its prey. She couldn't really argue against this, though heights were uh...not her thing. It was better than the alternative!

Starting to unravel her tails from around him, she opened her mouthto respond before a moving figure caught her eye. Was it another wolf?! Was it something worse?! Oh god...oh wait. It was someone familiar to her, a feline man by the name of Wu. He was a fellow operator of the Haynek Institute, a defender if memory served the girl. He was on another team though she couldn't remember which, to be honest she hadn't paid the greatest amount of attention during the debrief. "Last one down is a rotten egg!" Watching as Wu slammed the monstrous creature against the tree, she shot a teasing grin towards Dragonheart before completely detaching her tails from him which allowed her to drop down from the tree.

As she fell, little wisps of fire formed around her. Numbering about five or so and rapidly circling the girl, she quickly called out to Wu "Move if you don't want to get hit!" After warning her fellow operator, she shot off all five wisps at once. Upon impacting the wolf they immediately denoted, washing the creature over with heat and smoke as well as the force of the explosions. Now she still had the problem of falling from the tree of course, but she had faith that she could land on the wolf.

Maybe. Hopefully. And from there? Well...uh she hadn't thought far enough ahead, but hey she could try and wrapn her tails up around it! Oh! Or maybe she could just pummel him with her wisps from close up! Speaking of which, five more were around circling her the instant the previous five had shot off.

Arknights: The Dark Woods (ENDED)

Sorry for the delay but I’ll be posting later tonight

Overlord: How Like A God

I've changed a few things over, though undecided if I'll keep or change them again but thought about getting some second opinions on what I have anyway. Still need to add equipment though that's probably a bit easier than nailing the abilities, and I'll just give some equipment to match the abilities.
I toned down the NPCs a fair bit and changed out Syleste, though if I can add more levels I'll gladly do so :P

Overlord: How Like A God

@Disciple Cain
Yeah, I went through a lot of different levels for NPCs as I wasn't sure where to put them so I can easily downgrade them. And I'm pretty sure someone, can't remember who now, had 10 levels of Paladin so that's what lead me to believe it was a High class. And other sheets had more than two (I don't think anyone had more than 3 though) in total racial/job class so seeing as I went human I thought 3 rares would be fine for jobs but I can just scrap one and pump a few more levels into one of the basic ones.

And yeah the npcs, in general, was interesting as I couldn't really find much on how to make them etc. So Idk if say like a year of being in that guild would've been enough to have decent levelled NPCs, because edgelord is like 17/18, last year of highschool kinda thing and I thought has probably been playing for 2-3 years. Though the age on Syleste is a little hard to change as she just looks that young, but then again anime logic probably means she's 3000 XD

And is that what Sword Saint does? Interesting, explains why it's on Brain then. He does use those kinds of skills I've noticed. And Templar was just for a bit more divine magic stuffs, same with Paladin really. Trying to work that anti-demon route and all, idk if exorcist would've been more fitting or not. Whereas Avenger, I wasn't sure what it would branch off of so I put some levels into everything I thought it might branch off of lol

@Lugubrious
hmm yes that certainly does, a few of the things I was certainly going to use but your suggestions also include a few angles/abilities I hadn't thought of. Funny you mention the monster killing monsters, at one point she was a demon race though with the same backstory and she would still claim to be 'human' despite obviously being a demon, it was more for her story/flavor text that she was part human part demon, seeing as I couldn't find something suiting for it race wise. Was thinking an item or ability would give her some demonic like powers or appearance in this case, though she could easily change back to Demon and thus all her levels would be changed as well lol

Another main reason I picked human though was because everyone in Overlord rps pick the demihumans and monsters lol almost no one ever represents the human/humanoid gang so I took it upon myself to do so XD Even if it kinda just leaves me stuck with just job classes, provides a point of difference if you would I guess from the rest of the cast.

Mahoukyo: Magical Mishaps

@Styrgwyr
It's fine, it's happened to us all before I'm sure lol (at least for me it has!)

Overlord: How Like A God

<Snipped quote by Lunarlord34>

Want a hand? We could toss some ideas around with you.

@Lugubrious

Yeah that sounds good, better than me bashing my skull in for no results lol
I'll throw the current stuff I have up atm, though I've probably changed these things around a thousand times already (I did originally start as being a demon, dabbled as an Angel, even looked at werewolf stuff XD). Trying to go for a anti-demon kind of sthick.

-Demon Bane (5) Only available to Demon Hunters that have slain over 100,000 Demonic beings and maxed out the entire skill and job tree.

This is including but not limited to: wards to repel demonic creatures from entering certain areas, wards to weaken or even seal portions of demonic creatures powers that enter their area of effect, talismans to seal, banish or weaken when placed upon their target and various rituals for similar effects. Also, gain access to the ability to craft their own cursed gear/weapons/armour.
-Cleric: Access to faith-based magic and abilities, increasing healing capacities as well as divine infused strikes.
-Craftsman: An added bonus to crafting various items and the ability to craft higher level gear, as well as lessened maintenance costs

-Avenger: A darker path of the Paladin that revolves around punishing wrongdoers by any means necessary. Sacrificing her health and wellbeing for more damage allows Akai to deliver faster, more decisive combos against her foes, the combos becoming more brutal the longer she is allowed to chain them together. It also gives access to fear-based spells and abilities and extra damage against one pre-designated evil being(s). In Akai's case, the Demon race.

-Cursed One: A branch off of demon hunter in which the hunter becomes which they wish to destroy most, giving Akai the ability to enter a demonic state. Once activated, Akai becomes frenzied and confused by hatred, simply wishing the destruction of her designated targets in the most brutal of fashions. She becomes more demonic and her attacks are more devastating, resulting in more damage dealt and also heightens her martial abilities, though she loses access to the majority of her divine/faith-based magic and skills in this state.

-Demon Bane: The pinnacle of the Demon Hunter Class, this allows one access to the most advanced and powerful forms of all the Demon Hunters skills and abilities, as well as a massive boon to damage against Demons. It also gives access to the exclusive skills Cripping Strike (which targets a weak point on a demon to deal max damage and cripple them for 10 seconds) and Demonic Life Steal (wherein upon slaying a demon, the user regains health equal to 30% of the slain demon's health)
-Monstrous Being: When a Demon Hunter has finally given into temptation and truly embraced that which they wish to destroy, giving them the ability to enter a True Demonic State (which temporarily gives them maxed out Basic demon race levels and skills accordingly) for five minutes a day. They can also feast on the remains of demons to increase their damage, regain health or even decrease the cool-down on their True Demonic State ability if the slain demon was a boss.

Equipment:
-Twin Demonic Blades (Divine Class)-A pair of modified longswords that are not only Akai's signature weapon that she always carries, but also one of her most treasured possessions having received it as a gift from her former teammates. She can wield this in her frenzied state as well as it having the ability to drain her life force (HP/MP) for bigger more grand attacks as well as carrying a bonus damage to Angelic and demonic creatures alike. She also claims that she constantly fights against the swords dark urges to destroy everything, though this is more for flavour than anything else.

-Various Magic Rings that increase her damage output, HP regen and defense against attacks common to demons (i.e. darkness and fire based attacks)

-Various little trinkets, including but limited to holy water grenades, vials of holy water, lots of unmarked and marked paper talismans that either contain her abilities or the potential to and smoke bombs.

-Holy Literature (Relic): A rare item from an event. It increases the power of Holy based attacks, and raises resistance against Holy or demonic based skills depending on the user preferences (can only be changed once a day)

-Cloak of Magical Shielding (Relic): It increases the user's resistance to all types of magic which target the wearer as well as the overall defensive abilities

-Demon Slayers Attire (Legendary): A set of gear that makes up her attire. While each set increases her Demon hunter, and branched off classes, abilities as well as raise her resistance to demons attacks, owning the entire set also gives access to an additional minute of Akai's frenzied demonic state.

-Holy Charms (Relic): She has a total of 3, each one boosting her damage and abilities. Each one can also nullify one debuff or effect aimed at Akai a day and can help to avoid scrying based abilities. Said to help ward evil spirits.

-Various cursed gear crafted by Akai (i.e. a cursed sword that greatly increases attack but at the cost of greatly decreasing their def)

In-game Backstory:
Akai started out as a simple wish-fulfillment for the stressed-out high school student, a stoic fantasy bad-ass trope to vent some stress with little thought given as to exact details of how Akai came to be. It wasn't until the mid-game funk that would inevitably hit that Akai truly became what she is today. Deciding to join a guild for the first time, edgelord would soon befriend a number of hardcore roleplayers who roped her into allowing Akai to fulfill the missing puzzle piece of their story; the lone survivor of a clan designed to kill demons wiped out by demons. Akai herself was 'part' demon despite all this, her mother had fallen for an unnamed demons charms and fallen pregnant with the girl before being killed during the massacre. Akai would be saved by one of her friend's characters' father and taken in as his surrogate daughter, as well as his disciple. For years Akai and Aoi, her friend's character, would train under the tutelage of Aoi's father before his sudden passing, which would be the catalyst of them going out into the world and eventually joining an adventurers guild and forming their team. There were seven members of their team, Akai Mazoku, Aoi Tenshi, Midori Andeddo, Shiro Murasaki, Kiiro Kuro, Misaki Orenji, Aizome Fubuki.

Though the group's storyline would go on to become unfulfilled as slowly and surely members dropped out due to various IRL reasons, till eventually, it was only Akai left. How had she become the last woman standing? Well, for some simple reasons. She needn't have concerns with work or adult life, for she was still in high school. But also because Akai was just too much fun for her to give up and return to being a stressful honor student. She would continue Akai's storyline without the others, becoming the lone wolf archetype that had lost her friends to another demon attack to further fuel Akai's desire to kill all demons. She soon began to hunt down any demons she could find, whether they are spawned in NPC enemies or other players, slaughtering any and all of them, even taking an interest to take her time and toying with some if they were too weak to entertain her otherwise.

Eventually, she became something of an infamous rumor amongst the players; of a player purely focused on killing demon characters, some stories even warping it to be viewed as if she took statistical pleasure from slowly killing her foes and other such slanderous half-truths. She would go on to leave her guild and form her own 'guild', which consisted solely of herself and a few NPC's. The guild-hall just being a glorified storage space for her various rewards and the such.

Cohorts:
M3GUMIW11 aka Megumin: A automation girl (lvl59) that looks to be in her late teens, early twenties. She specializes in absorbing and reducing damage, playing the role of a tank. She like all automation are incapable of emotional output, though she is shown to have some rather eccentric habits which amuse and endears her to her creator, edgelord. Giving the typical kuudere personality.

Crimson Wolf: A 21-year-old werewolf girl (lvl 60) that Akai picked up during her travels, Crimson is another NPC designed by edgelord. Fiercely loyal to Akai for not only saving her but also taking her in, Crimson's main function is as a scout/assassin type. Crimson is similar in persona to her master Akai, though a lot colder and doesn't hesitate in killing those she deems a threat to her master, though once she warms up a person she becomes almost like a puppy. A combination of the dandere/yandere archetypes.

Dawn Ketsueki: A NPC originally designed by Aoi, who later transferred ownership over to Akai. Dawn is a 1000-year-old vampire girl (lvl 65) who is the no-nonsense healer type, not afraid to scold even her master Akai for disobeying orders of rest or not taking proper medical aid seriously. She serves as Akai's main source of healing, specializing in such magic as well as the brewing of various potions. She's rather sociable, unlike her current master, and seems to be fascinated by humans, especially that of the romance of the more homoerotic kind. (Aka a BL fangirl) A combination of sadodere and tsundere archetypes.

Final Notes:
edgelord spent her final moments in the game simply brooding in her base of operations, pondering over various items and the such that her teammates and she had gathered over the years, as well as reminiscing the time spent together. She had also arranged a bit of a party for her and the NPCs, she had invited her friends but unfortunately, they were busy...so she had left the NPCs to their own devices for the most part while she simply brooded away by herself, waiting for the game to finally come to an end. Ah, what a waste....

Overlord: How Like A God

hmm seeming to hit a brick wall with abilities personally. Almost done with my sheet if not for it.

Overlord: How Like A God

I'm concocting a character, got a concept just working out the logistics.

Mahoukyo: Magical Mishaps

It was an eerily quiet night in the city of Mahoukyo. The city, normally crawling with activity and flashing lights was deadly silent and the moonless night cast a dark shadow over the metropolis. The morbid atmosphere of the abandoned street just seemed to make the cloaked man more on edge, constantly looking over his shoulder. Like a scene out of some horror movie, shadows seemed to move and creep about from the corner of his eye; but when he looked back, they had vanished. Or maybe it was just the man's imagination?

Wait, no. Someone was there. It was just a flicker, it barely lasted a moment. It could've been just his imagination, but he was certain. They had found him.

Eyes wide with terror, he ran through one of the many back-alleys that made up the city. It was almost a maze at times, and he knew this. He intended to lose the person chasing him at this moment. Every so often he would glance behind him, but the figure was still there...silently following after him without seeming to break a sweat no matter how hard he ran...still they walked after them and even seemed to be catching up without a hassle!

Gah! He knew he should’ve never gotten involved with that group….he knew they were nothing but trouble, why didn’t he listen to his gut?! He came to a sudden, skidding stop at that thought, barely saving himself from running headfirst into the glistening wires in front of him.

“Oh? So, you managed to see them? Impressive.” The man’s head shot up sharply to look at the voice that spoke out to him...only to see a black cat with two mismatched eyes, one green the other yellow, looking down at him. That wasn’t the only strange thing about the cat, for the tip of its tail seemed to be on fire? He was a familiar, this man knew that. For that was that mans familiar.

He went to open his mouth, only to let out a blood-curdling scream as he felt himself be grabbed by an unknown force and slammed into the ground. He could feel it digging into him now, like rope, his squirming just making them tighter around him. The small figure that had been following him had now caught up and placed a foot atop his back, pressing him into the ground. The man began to frantically try to think of something, anything, that would stop this monster!

“W-wait! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again, I promise!” The man was desperate as the smaller, cloaked figure gave no hint of a verbal response, simply raising their small, doll-like hand and slowly brought it into a half-fist, causing the tight feeling around him to intensify. Wounds, as if he was slowly being sliced up, started to form along his body as he howled in pain.

“Heh, you should’ve thought of that before trying to steal the artifact. No mercy for thieves and traitors Leo.” The cat spoke again, grooming itself slowly as it looked down upon his writhing form. The small figure seemed to look up at the cat now, pointing down at the man beneath them before making a slashing motion across their throat.

“Oh, of course, you have to kill him. That’s kinda your job there Diligence.” The cat chuckled as the hooded figure nodded silently, the man speaking up once more.

“W-wait! I can explain! I just-gah!” He was cut off as it felt like a rope had been wrapped around his entire body then tightened further and further, screaming as his arm was sliced clean off like a precise surgeon, blood gushing out of his wound and spraying all over the walls and the figures cloak. Stopping for a moment to reach up to their face and wipe a speck of blood off, inspecting the tip of her finger with a morbid curiousity as all the while the man writhed in agony before her.

Flames shot out from the man and wrapped around the figure, who seemed unperturbed at the stream of desperate, pain-filled abuse that burst forth from the dying traitor in his last moments.

“You bitch! I’ll fucking kill you for that! Mark my words, we will-!” Having heard enough, the feminine hand finally clenched into a fist. Shortly after the man was sliced into fine little chunks with one last agonizing scream, the flames dying soon after.

“Heh, he should’ve tried fighting back, to begin with. Would’ve ended better.” The cat remarked smugly, leaping down from its perch up above and seemed to float down onto the figure's shoulder. After patting down a small fire on it, the cat wandered up to nuzzle against the figure's cheek. “You did well again Diligence, though could you stop with leaving so much blood everywhere? It’ll be a pain to clean up you know?”

The figure simply nodded at the cat’s words, leaning down as all the pieces of the man seemed to be dragged by an unseen force into a large pile. Luckily despite the cat’s complaints, they didn’t need to clean this mess up ...he was meant to be an example, so it was time to leave an impressionable one.

~2235: Isamu Transport Truck Inbound to Facility 1202~

Hurtling down the road at a breakneck pace during the middle of the night was a pitch-black 18 wheeler truck, if it wasn't for the fact it was the middle of the night then they might've run the chance of being booked by the police. Well, even if it wasn't night they wouldn't be dealing with such minor inconveniences, but the quiet night streets certainly helped them with the urgency of their mission. There was visible tension in the air amongst the dozen or so occupants within, especially the one standing up to address the rest of the group. He was a deceptively leanly built man wearing a mash of armor over a more formal outfit with unkempt brown hair. This man was Dieter Gunnar, the leader of the newly formed Team 3 whom he was now currently addressing. Though normally most knew him as a calm and collected individual, he seemed visibly tense as he delivered the briefing of their vitally important meeting.

"I'm sorry I had to drag you all out at this hour, but this mission is of the utmost importance. Whina, if you would." Dieter began, gesturing to a younger girl with orange hair in the back. Seemingly startled, the group's technician, Whina Tinkerer, fumbled for a moment before firing up the project besides her, bringing up a series of images beside the team leader. "At around 2200 hours tonight, Maylis herself received a message from none other than Touma Akechi, head of the vastly influential Akechi family, about a disturbance at warehouse district 12. Soon after at 2210, through the use of unmanned drones to do some reconnaissance Team 1 found there to be heavy Rikimaru activity in the area. 2215, the Isamu were authorized to use whatever means to stop the Rikimaru from...well, what I'm about to say is beyond confidential and must not leave this trailer, am I clear?" Taking his time to slowly go over the notes he was given, a series of images containing various individuals doing battle with what seemed to be a group of heavily armed guards appeared to where he was now tapping.

"The Rikimaru target seems to be this facility here, a top-secret research facility funded by the Akechi to store and study the Soul Essence that we, the Isamu, have been gathering. The exact purpose of this research is none of our concern and thus I was not given a briefing on it, so I do apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge on the matter. The only thing that matters is that we are to stop the Rikimaru from breaching the facility's innermost vault; their target clearing being the vast quantities of Essence inside." He wasn't one for long-winded explanations, even this amount of talking seemed to be irritating him as he tried to condense the rather lengthy notes into a more concise form. "I take it as you've all read the briefings I gave you earlier, do refer to that if there is something you may have missed or wish to know further. But all you need to know for now is rather simple; our objective is to put a stop to this attack on a government facility by the Rikimaru. So long as we procure the Essence, we've been giving to use whatever amount of force we see fit to do the task. Which brings me to my next point of interest."

Clicking his fingers at Whina, the girl nodded feverishly before pouring some Soul into the projector. A layout of the building replaced the images with a series of red and white dots peppered throughout. A lot of Red dots, numbering at least 50. Pointing to what was obviously the entrance, where the bulk majority of the red dots currently were, Dieter began to speak once more.

"We'll be splitting into three teams; Team A will be lead by myself and will do a frontal assault on their main forces to draw their attention. Tenma, Roya, Sora, you're with me." Gesturing to the three men as he spoke, the white-haired Sora simply nodding in acknowledgment, Dieter was quick to shift his attention to a side entrance. "While we draw their attention, Team B will be using this fire escape to try and get to the core of the facility before the Rikimaru forces can reach the essence. This task I'm entrusting to you Rena, Lucia, and Kazumi. Whina will be supporting you from outside with constant updates through the facility's security footage, as well as guiding you to your target once inside. Avoid combat wherever possible, your only priority should be securing the Essence as swiftly as possible. Once you've secured it, the rest will form Team C and look to extract you from this exit point right here." He tapped a little harder than maybe he should've, tracing a path all through the facility before finally bringing his finger to what looked like a docking bay of sorts. "Teams 2 and 5 are en route as well to support Team A, so we simply need to stall and draw their attention for as long as it takes. Once reinforcements have arrived and the Essence has been secured and being escorted by B and C, we'll push to rout and then detain the Rikimaru forces. Any questions?"

He knew their summon had been rather sudden, the team having been haphazardly slapped together from what Maylis had on hand and was now deemed official from here on out. Some of the members had barely interacted before, some complete strangers. They had time before reaching their designation as well, so if there were no questions to answer Dieter would let them talk amongst themselves to let them get to know one another better. Plus, he had to deal with a rather mad young girl before she burst her bubble.
