Alright, it's pretty much done! Might make only a few minor edits if I come across any typos or such. Name:Kathrine O'HarreAge: 19Gender:FemaleBirthday:January 1stProfession:Bounty HunterBackground:Kathrine was born into an originally poor family that lived in the slums of the city. While they where poor, her mother and father carried some optimism about their situation, always trying to to see the brighter side of things. This all changed, however, when her father died in a factory accident. Her mother, already on the edge due to losing all of her own family, finally broke down. She became the usual extreme, raving alcoholic while her own mental status slowly degraded. By the time Kathrine was ten, her mother was constantly physcially and mentally abusing her, often saying she was the reason why her father died. Things got even worse after her mother was eventually fired from her low paying job for showing up late one to many times. This drove her mother to the deepest pits of despair, destroying what little happiness she had inside. One day, Katherine noticed that her mother was acting odd. She was sober, and being kind to her for once. "Hey, let's go for a walk together hmm? Just you and me." her mother had said with a soft kindness. Katherine couldn't believe it, and was so overwhelmed she didn't think twice about saying yes. They walked down the dim streets towards the harbor district, Katherine paying little attention to her surroundings. Finally they stopped at a small warehouse and her mother knocked on the door. It cracked open, revealing only a glimpse at what looked to be a regular looking man. They talked in a hushed whisper very briefly before the man opened the door. "Alright dear, let me introduce you to a few friends of mine from work, they can't wait to meet you." Her mother said, confusing Katherine. None the less, they entered the small warehouse revealing five men standing in an empty room, a well dressed one in the center of the group. "She's the gal?" the well dressed man said."Yep, as you can she, she's quiet a beauty." her mother replied. It didn't take long for Katherine to snap out of it to realize what was going on. These weren't coworkers, and this wasn't just some friendly walk....Katherine silently left the small warehouse, walking down the street in a daze. Behind her, she left a room dripping with blood and gore. Confused and fatigued, Katherine eventually collapsed on the side of the road, covered in dirt, wreaking of death. When she awoke again, she found herself in the bed of a stranger's house. As she soon learned, a bounty hunter had found her and taken her in. Originally he just wanted to do a kind service and return her to her parents, but after hearing her story, he took her in as his daughter. She learned about his unique weapon and fighting style that accompanied it, and after she turned twenty, she left her home and father to see the world and collect a bounty or two. Currently she is traveling in Morr in search of work. Nation:Vorak (Birthplace/childhood) and Morr (current)Skills:Great Agility: Katherine is fast on her feat and quick to react as it is a key component to mastering the Ballistic ScytheGood Upper Body Strength: Twirling that heavy scythe around and wielding it needs a lot of muscle and endurance in the arms, thus try not to take a direct punch from her(AKA don't piss off the redhead)Cunning and Strategy: Having both a complicated style to master and a naturally rational, skeptical mind let's her come up with strategies and practical solutions on the spot. Fighting style:3Dimensional Combat:The fighting style relies on thinking in 3 dimensions of movement, frontal, flanks, and from above. This requires the user to have a lot of concentration to be successful with it, mainly because the scythe doubles as a rifle of sorts, and fires specially made rounds. Now what's special about these rounds is not the bullet, but the cartridge. They pack tremendous amounts of recoil, but is controlled in a way that allows the user to take advantage of it, whether it be adding some extra momentum to a charge, a stronger swing of the blade, or even jumping to higher heights. Talent (if any):"Matter Manipulation: Katherine first discovered her talent when her mother attempted to "sell" her. She can manipulate the speed in which the atoms of a substance vibrate, making them move faster or slow them down. In simpler terms, make something really hot or cold. She lacks full control, being able to only target one item. For example, if she were to use it on an individual, she would have to target something like the skin or blood, not the whole body, and focus on that particular item. She also has to be in physical contact with the target, and can only influence a sphere that has a three foot diameter. Personality:Katherine enjoys sarcasm and being generally rude, but not to a necessarily "rude" extent. She's generally friendly towards people, and is clever in battle. She cares not for concepts of "Honor" or "Chivalry" since to her, fighting in its nature is barbaric enough, why try to be dumb about it? Thus she is a dirty fighter both with fights of strength or fights of words. She has a cunning aptitude and will take advantage of any opportunity. Underlying it all is a deep regard for skepticism and rational thinking. She hates religious zealots and isn't really a "servant of the gods" per say.


Character approved. Looking at all of the Vorak characters, it doesn't seem like they are doing a good job at killing those with Talents :P

@Paradox_Lord: I'm trying to imagine how he uses sewing needles in combat (since at first, I was a bit confused as to how that sort of fighting style could be of any use) and I just want to check to see if I've got it right. Would that be inspired by Toriko? I just want to see if I'm on the right track.@Insomnia: While I don't mind the monastery being destroyed (it helps that the personality doesn't look like you're using it for an excuse to throw darkness into the RP), I'm not so sure about the idea of a group of "rogues" being responsible for it. It doesn't really feel like it fits the modern setting, to be honest. So, while it's fine for it to be destroyed, I'd like if you could change the reason. I'm not even saying it can't be humans, just...I don't really see there being roaming bands of rogues.The abilities look interesting (the attunement idea kinda reminds me of Guild Wars 2, ehe), but I don't really see them fitting with magic as it is in the setting. While it's possible that someone could use multiple elements (or even all of them if their affinity didn't get in the way of it), they would just know spells related to the elements, rather than attuning themselves to different elements to change what they can do.@Mizos: To be honest, his backstory feels too dark for the tone I was aiming for.@MMM: Accepted.


The needles aren't very powerful weapons and break easily, so he only can attack weak points and pressure points with them. For armored enemies, he could potentially wrap the thread from the needles around their legs to trip them, but that's about all. I'm don't know what Toriko is, but I guess the basic idea of the weapon came from Naruto, where a minor character in one of the videogames (Kagura from Clash of Ninja Revolution) fights with needles, and one of the seven swordsmen of the mist uses a sword based on a sewing needle (Nuibari).

Though Zucabr was now asleep, he had forgotten to completely turn of his radio, and it blared quietly with news of war.
"Today, the war that we had been hoping to avoid has broken out in full. According to my sources in the Voraki capital, they have finished preparing their navy for invasion, and eastbound airships most likely loaded with bombs and machina weapons have been sighted over Morr. The people of Ecana are aware of this, and have begun preparing, putting all able Talented in uniform, to be trained by the Royal Knights themselves. It seems that war is inevitable, and I shudder in horror knowing that my updates will soon fill with grim darkness. That's all for tonight, Updater Lakon is signing off."

Meanwhile, a world away from where any human had ever gone, two foul voices whispered in the darkness. The first raspy and squealing, the second deep and resounding.
"Brother? Brother? Oh elder brother, are you there?"
"Yes younger brother, you know very well that I am here, as I have always been. You also know that I have no time for your foolishness, so why have you disturbed me from my slumber?"
"Oh brother, I bring such great news that I am quivering with excitement. The humans are gone to war!"
"A war, you say? And are you the cause of this?"
"Of course, you know well the powers that I wield. I took greatest pleasure in myself firing the glorious first shot at their fragile peace."
"For once, brother of mine, you have done well. We ourselves shall open the portal once they are at their weakest, bringing great glory to our clan. The lowest will rise above the other clans, and we shall lead them all to victory. Until then, patience dear brother. Keep watch over them and destroy those who would send our plans awry. But always keep to the shadows, your presence unknown. Now go, brother. Report back to me with any great development, but not with every minuscule change. You know how I do tire of your voice."

Oh, and as a question of curiosity, how far is it really in terms of fantasy tech? Sorry, I couldn't really figure it out for myself, but my guess at it is that long range firearms or airships of that sort aren't really in existence, but are slowly coming about. Is that more or less what the tech situation is?


Yes, exactly. Airship and firearm technology are existent, but not now well developed. In fact, at this time traveling by boat is safer and more efficient than by airship in most cases.

And by the way guys, this is my plan for my character:
1. Even though he seems to be doing nothing, if given the chance he would do anything to destroy Vorak to end the war and their atrocities. Because he used to be a high-level Voraki official, he could easily help someone to infiltrate the capitol or stage an attack. He has a large array of mechanical weapons that he built, running on oil and not souls, in the hidden room of his house, behind the black cabinet.
2. Dividend, in case you hadn't guessed, is an artifact weapon. It is a hatchet that when held divides into 2 hatchets, one for each hand. Any non-living thing it strikes is split into 2 smaller versions of itself, with size of the original object as a limitation of course. The demon sealed inside of it is named Legati, a demonic soldier whose head has 2 faces, each with a distinct personality. The curse of this weapon is that it also splits the personality of its weilder, causing them to have violent mood swings. Every one of its previous wielders went insane and either killed themselves or were killed for bloody crimes. Because of this, Zucabr will not wield it, but he would gladly give it to someone who is already insane enough that the axe would have no noticeable effect on him/her.

Name: Jackson DelfuroAge: 30Gender: MaleBirthday: August 14thAppearance: He is 7 feet and 11 inches tall and weighs 340 pounds. He is in extremely good shape, and possesses extreme strength although he runs at speeds the same as any normal person. He likes to carry a stilleto knife made out of a highly advanced metal alloy, 2 sets of brass knuckles made out of a highly advanced metal alloy, and a custom revolver with a 6 round cylinder that fires .500 magnum HE plasma hollowpoint rounds. He has short black hair and blue eyes. He wears a very nice suit along with a gold, silver, and diamond watch. He also wears a very durable protective vest capable of stopping an axe or blaster bolt. Profession: Criminal Organization BossBackground:He lives in Vorak and is the boss of the Delfuro crime family, the most powerful criminal organization on the planet. It's a multi billion dollar organization with strong influence almost everywhere. It controls a massive portion of the organized illegal activity on the planet from government corruption to low profile drug deals and almost everything in-between. The only areas in crime it doesn't really dominate are animal smuggling and poaching. It has a lot of political influence, owning generals, an elector, secret police officials, and many other government officials. Jackson's inner circle consists of Tony, Nicky, Henry, and Vincent. Nicky is the enforcer, making sure the organization collects "fines", from other criminal groups or even legitimate groups, and if they don't pay, he takes the money by force and sometimes kills them. He also runs the organization's hit operations, making sure people who need to be dealt with are dealt with, permanently. You get on the list by either having a contract on your head or getting on the organizations bad side. He controls the organizations private army which consists of thousands of hit men, thugs, thieves, and any other criminal you can think of. He has a very volatile temper and has been known to kill people for minor insults. He is also fiercely loyal to Jackson. Nicky is Jackson's best friend. Tony runs the organizations numerous illegal "businesses" such as drug and arms trading. He makes sure that everything is profitable, and if its not he makes it profitable. He is a cool and calculating person who won't hesitate to kill anyone who he thinks poses a threat. He's also very good friends with Jackson. Henry runs the legal businesses the organization controls. If a business becomes unprofitable he makes sure its taken care of, either burnt to the ground for insurance money, made profitable, or sold for a high price. He's quiet and calculating, often relying on Nicky to make sure everyone does what he says. Vincent handles the way the organization maintains its influence, buying loyalty from cops, government officials, and other people he finds useful. He is charismatic and smart, but won't hesitate to do what is necessary. The mob is a huge organization with thousands of "employees" and billions in profits, and Jackson owns the entire thing.Nation: VorakSkills: He is a master knife fighter, highly skilled Krav Maga fighter, world class boxer, and a professional marksman.Fighting style: Krav Maga, BoxingTalent (if any): None, although he is highly resistant, nearly impervious, to mental interference.Personality: He is very intelligent, charming, well liked, cautious, and fair. He also has good control over his temper, but when he snaps he becomes aggressive, angry, and very dangerous. He is very well respected and few dare cross him.


Wow, this is the worst character app I have ever seen, why would you think I'd accept it?
April fools, welcome back to the roleplay.
Hello everyone. I'm going to edit my character in to this post later, when I'm not feeling quite so sick, tomorrow at latest. Could someone please recap for me what has happened in the IC and give me the character app format? Thanks in advance.

Zucabr looked at the time on his small clock and realized that it was much later then he had assumed it to be. He scattered his various projects into random cabinets throughout the room, where he might or might not be able to later locate them. He made sure that Dividend was hidden and that the black cabinet at the back of the workroom was tightly locked, and shoved any extra parts that were lying around into his coat pockets. He then went to the kitchen to finish off some beef stew that he had purchased earlier that day, then to the bedroom where he hung up his coat, changed into his nightclothes- the same as his regular clothes but not drenched in machine oil and sweat- and entered the realm of dreams.
