Oh right, I'll make the edits.

The Chronicles of Dosei: Sands of Blood, A Dungeons and Dragons Roleplay. (Reboot)(Full)

Alright! That's fine with me, since that's what it's original purpose was in the first place. It won't be combat ready until later anyways.

As for why they're there, I was thinking that my gnome and dwarf are partners actually. My gnome is an inventor and wants to look into these ruins for inspiration or blueprints to improve her golem, while my dwarf just wants to loot the place.

And I'll try to make a CS ASAP!

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

"IIIIIIINCOMIIIIIING!"

A shrill scream echoed over the city as a fast flying person zoomed to the HQ. Just as it looked like it was about to hit the Hero Association HQ, it suddenly landed at the front door with a huge sonic boom, knocking over lightweight object and people around her. It was Sweet Devil, a bit too late for the party. Hozumi was cramming some studies for an exam she has to take tomorrow, and she didn't leave until she finished reading one of her books. But once she did Lilithan went as fast as she could to the HQ. While Sweet Devil was technically a C Ranked hero, she usually caught news about big troubles either over the news or through communications from the heroes at her parent's store, where Hozumi usually studies at. Apparently some powerful aliens had arrived recently, but were taken out. Sweet Devil wanted to raise her rankings by fighting them but alas no luck. Hopefully there was more however, so Sweet Devil could earn some sweet reputation.

And while Sweet Devil wasn't inside the building yet, she could already hear a bunch of commotion going on. This didn't worry her however: this just meant there were things to do! Putting on her winning smile Sweet Devil entered the building and went to where the noise was loudest, hoping to maybe get into a fight or at least solve some problems. She heard a lot of things just stepping inside the lobby, but one thing that caught her ear especially was something about Dreadlock. If Sweet Devil remembered correctly, she was the fifth A Ranked hero. Apparently she got involved in a fight with these aliens and got beat up pretty badly. Sensing a chance to capitalize on her weakened state, Sweet Devil eavesdropped some more until she caught the name of the hospital she was at. Shortly after Sweet Devil flew off.

It took some time for Sweet Devil to actually find the hospital since she's never been there, but after asking around and "borrowing" someone's cellphone, she eventually found it. Once inside she weaved an illusion around herself to look like a nurse, that way no one would try and stop her. When they looked at her she would look at them, causing her form to suddenly change. Sweet Devil looked around until she found the hero's ward, and shortly after that she heard Dreadlock causing a stir. A team of nurses rushed into a room and Sweet Devil followed them. There she saw Dreadlock, or rather her civilian self, laying on a hospital bed freaking out. Her hair was everywhere, knocking things over and slamming nurses to the wall. Sweet Devil herself tried to "hold down" Dreadlock, though what she was really doing was placing an illusion onto her. For now the illusion wasn't active, but once the other nurses leave Sweet Devil would get to work.

Well Sweet Devil just entered the building, maybe she hears the commotion as she's walking by? And being the curious sort she is she'll come to investigate.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

@Emuxe

Hmm. Could I have Sweet Devil come in and help calm down Madel? That and Sweet Devil would recognize her as Dreadlock and may try to get on her goodside. She'd use her illusions to give her something nice to think about as the doctors try to help her.

Inspiration never really came up often in my group. When we first started my GM did give us some inspiration after boss fights, but afterwards we generally did well enough that we didn't need them. That being said because we don't have get inspiration I did sometimes forget I had them and never used them, but the one time I really needed a reroll, I remembered about it and it saved my life. So inspiration can certainly be helpful, but I don't think we really need it. If we play smart we don't need them, but I do feel like they would be a nice little reward after particularly difficult moments.

Hozumi/Lilithan

Hero Appearance:


Hero Name: "Sweet Devil" Lilithan
Hero Class/Rank: Rank C 7

Appearance:

Name: Hozumi Akumu

Personality:
Hozumi appears to be much what you'd expect a regular highschool student to be: she focuses on her study, makes time for friends, and generally likes to have fun. But she also has a strong sense of justice and is rather confident in herself despite her chubby appearance. She claims that it's because of her mother, who is a American-born Japanese, and her attitude was much like her mother's growing up. Hozumi has a strong sense of justice as well, though it can come across as very totalitarian: it's her way or the highway, and without friends to keep her in check it's very easy for Hozumi to go overboard.

There's a darkside to Hozumi that manifests as Lilithan. That same self-confidence and justice becomes corrupted into a twisted sense. Lilithan is very selfish and has rather loose morals, seducing her targets not out of any sense of love or attraction, but just fun. Man, women, adults, children, she'd manipulate them to get what she wants in the end. Lilithan's sense of justice also becomes rather twisted: While she has a traditional sense of good and evil that allows her to operate with the hero association, she also sees herself above the association as a sort of "Necessary Evil" being used against other villains. Sure, she players by the association's rules, but she has a habit of bending, twisted, or simply breaking them in secret.

Brief History:
Hozumi was just a regular girl when one day she and her friends, a bunch of nerds, got their hands on some sort of occult book. It seemed like the sort of silly thing you'd buy at a game store or off the internet so at the time Hozumi didn't think much of it. Turns out that book was a lesser version of the Ars Goetia, a book that can summon demons. But because none of the others were proper summoners, they had no control over the book. Demons began to leak from the book and escape into the city to wreck havoc. Hozumi, not wanting the evil within to constantly seep into her world, tried to close the book. But when she did she too became infected with some of that demonic taint. While she managed to close the book and stop the demons from pouring out, she was forever changed.

Some time passed. The demons were eventually dealt with as heroes from the association hunted them down. Hozumi thought it was over. But it wasn't. One day after school she heard that her friend had just gotten kidnapped. Worried sick Hozumi went to look for her friend, not thinking how exactly she was suppose to save her even if she did find her. At the time Hozumi didn't worry about things like that: she was more concerned about saving her friend. Soon Hozumi did find her friend when she was being taken into a huge apartment. She's heard horrible things happening in that apartment, but no matter how many times the police or even the association was called on the place, they never found anything. But Hozumi was certain that her friend had been taken so she went in. Turns out the place was ran by a local yakuza group that forces girls into become part of a pop idol group; they had to pretend to sing, dance, and have fun or their lives would be threaten. Many other girls that Hozumi didn't know were also taken. When she was found, Hozumi thought she might share their fate too.

But as luck would have it, there was strength in Hozumi. Suddenly before the yakuzas could take her Hozumi turned into a demon, cutting down the criminals with monstrousness speed and ferocity. In a flash it was over: nearly all the yakuzas were dead, and those who weren't were on the run. Hozumi freed the girls and her friend. Since that day Hozumi felt like she was a hero, and she wanted to keep being one. But she also awakened an evil side to herself that fed off those heroic virtues, corrupting them. That evil side called herself "Lilithan". When Hozumi was alone she appeared and revealed that Hozumi didn't really care about her friend: if she hadn't been able to save her Hozumi would have only felt a little bit sad, but move on with her life and forget about her. What Hozumi really wanted was for her friend to be forever greatful to Hozumi, to look up to her and praise her endlessly. She wanted the glory of being a hero. Hozumi tried to deny this but Lilithan made it clear: If this was true that Lilithan would cease to exist. If Hozumi really thought that she really wanted to be a hero, then she wouldn't need Lilithan's powers. But without her powers, Hozumi was just a chubby highschool girl.

Many times Hozumi would deny Lilithan, but many times Hozumi would also need Lilithan's powers. Eventually the two struck and understanding: Hozumi admitted that she wanted the game and fortune that came with being a hero. And to be a hero she needed Lilithan's powers. Thus, Hozumi became a willing channeler of Lilithan, and would make sure to "feed" her regularly. However Hozumi also wanted to do good and use her powers to help others. In her own words, "I'm a fat girl. I want my cake and eat it too." So at the age of 17, Hozumi has Lilithan joined the hero association.

Abilities:
Lilithan has all the powers: While Hozumi is a bit stronger than a regular highschool girl, she isn't superhumanly powerful.

Demonic Body - Lilithan's body is as strong, tough, and fast as a demon. Regular mortal weapons like knives and bullets barely hurt her, and she can dodge most bullets with ease. She's strong enough that she could toss cars if she wanted too and people stand far less of a chance. However she does have a few odd weaknesses, such as silver and "holy" things. She can't enter churches and those baring holy iconography make it very difficult for her to approach normally. Additionally, Lilithan has wings which she can use to fly around at great speeds, and she can actually use them to shield herself when she isn't flying.

Illusions - Lilithan is a powerful illusionist: anyone she touches or who looks into her eyes will be affected by her illusions, causing them to sense things that may or may not actually be happening. She can even use it on robots. However if she can't touch them or if they don't look into her eyes, she can't affect them with her illusions.

Cursed Scythe - Lilithan uses a cursed scythe when she fights. It is made out of her demonic essence, thus even when it breaks she can just make another one. Those who are cut by her scythe would have wounds which will not heal without holy magic, and Lilithan can track down those she has injured to finish the job.

Skills/Combos:
Shadow Scythe Strike - Lilithan focuses her illusion magic for a very short spell, allowing her to affect her target without needing to touch or make eye contact. This illusion creates a multiple version of herself attacking them right as she tries to strike them with her scythe. Thus if they try to block her, they have to quickly determine which one of her copies is the real her or else she strikes them.

Sickle Storm - Lilithan throws multiple copies of her scythe at her enemies, which then split into more copies of themselves, and those copies create more copies. They will remain until they hit something. This takes up a lot of Lilithan's energy, however when used correctly she can literally rain her scythes down onto her enemies.

Vanish - A very simple illusion spell Lilithan uses to escape a sticky situation or sneak pass others. Lilithan's entire existence seemingly vanishes, however it will return after a short time or if she tries to attack something or use a different illusion.

Doppleganger - This spell creates a semi-physical copy of Lilithan or someone else. It's only semi-physical in that it can only "touch" other people who are currently affected by Lilithan's illusions: it cannot open doors or interact with physical objects that aren't being used by others. However when they do interact with people, they look, feel, smell, and sound real. At least in their heads they do.

Dreamwalk - One of Lilithan's most dangerous abilities as it attacks her prey when they're most vulnerable: in their sleep. Lilithan creates an astral protection of herself that roams around looking for people who are dreaming. Once inside a dream Lilithan is at her strongest, able to manipulate and control their dreams however she wants. While this doesn't hurt them physically, she can mess with their minds and damage them psychologically.

Possible Goals?: Hozumi wants to have full control over Lilithan. She believes that the more she uses her the more she and Lilithan's beocme in sync. Lilithan doesn't really have any goals except enjoy life: at some point she feels that if Hozumi isn't more accommodating, she'll need to find a way to escape or take over Hozumi.

Other: Hozumi is a third year highschool student and eighteen years old. She speaks Japanese and English and wants to go to a culinary college. Her parents own a jewelry store and are quite well off. They're very popular with female heroes, so if anyone tries to rob them there's usually a hero nearby who can stop them. She's a very new hero, having only been part of the association for the past month. She's still rather new to the whole process.

I understand, here's the link I used. It's from Eberron Campaign Guide 3.5, made by Wizard of the Coast, the same people who made the original 3.5. I understand if you're hesitant since the Artificer has a bad rep of being "wizards but worse", but I promise the only gimmicky thing I'll do is make golems. My gnome would even make sure to help the others by making enchanted stuff for them.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

Oh, she's a hero. She's just a rookie that needs some guidance.

I should also mention that as the Sweet Devil (This is the name for when Hozumi is channeling Lilithan), Hozumi still has control. It's her body after all, though Lilithan decides how strong the body is. Usually it's as full power, but if Sweet Devil takes too much damage or if Lilithan is being a bitch her power may be weaker. If Sweet Devil takes too much damage or Lilithan forces it, she'd turn back to Hozumi. Hozumi can transform back whenever she wants.

Could you also give me a summary of what's happened or what is happening so I can jump in?

The Chronicles of Dosei: Sands of Blood, A Dungeons and Dragons Roleplay. (Reboot)(Full)

Hello! I know the RP says it's full, and it looks like everyone uses two characters for themselves, but I was wondering if you have space for one more. A friend recommended this RP to me and I'd be very much interested in joining.

I have a dwarf barbarian and a gnome in mind. For the gnome I had this idea of a gnome artificer who specilizes in making magical things like potions, equipment, and scrolls. For combat she mainly relies on her golem, which she'd customize and tinker with over the course of the RP. If that's not good I can make her into a ranger instead.
