Ravnica: A Magic RP

@Ryougu You were right. Just edited my past post to match.

Ravnica: A Magic RP

Cultists leapt from every corner, seemingly from the shadows cast by the sun. Pavara had to act fast, scrapping the Baleful Strix, and instead, casting Psychic Strike, one eye twitching in half-madness, half concentration, focusing on a mage to her left, busy conjuring some sort of fire elemental. His face went blank, and he stumbled to a tented stand, and began stuffing vegetables into his robes. A fireball seemed to zero in on her position, appearing to almost halt in midair, before falling fast. Her feet were faster, as she hurled herself toward a stack of shields and armor. The merchandise, albeit low quality, was heavy enough and the stand it hung on sturdy enough to hold against the flame.

Another cultist charged forward, a long spiked chain biting into his fingers and palm, specks of blood spraying from his hands as he swung the barbed hook on the end in Pavara's direction, like a vampire flail. Her cutlass caught the chain just below its sadistic payload, and the imbued magic within, (Icy Manipulator effect), dropped the assailant on his back, where he gasped for air. She had only a mere moment before he regained his breath and continued his onslaught. Her sword sang as it filleted the skin from his sternum, exposing bloody lungs and beating heart beneath. Despite the man's madness, he screamed in agony. Her opportunity was fading.

She plunged her hands into his chest, ignoring the chaos. And for the moment, the chaos ignored her. A human heart AND a hydra gizzard? Today is my lucky day!

And in one glorious moment, she held in her hands a beating human heart.

A stray arrow, charged with electricity, struck her shoulder, and she toppled, stunned, onto her prize, which burst like the sanguine balloon it was. She cried out in pain and anger, while the body beside her, void of the most vital of organs, began to seize and shake. The ringleader cackled with delight, and continued the carnage. All the while, the wailing sound of an electric guitar set the stage for the most entertaining brawl Pavara had ever seen.

She felt a tug at her belt. A goblin was attempting to tear her hydra gizzard from her, likely not even knowing what it was. Her sword was swift, and its cut clean. The goblin screamed and fell back, as his innards poured onto the cobblestone. Pavara lost herself, grasping the goblin's moaning face, and slamming his head down onto the stones. Over and over and over again, until his skull was broken and his brain uncontained. And in the middle of the chaos, she spotted the woman who had started it all. "BITCH!" She grasped the grip of a fallen heater shield and slung it like a discus toward the ringleader, as she ducked behind a stand covered in candles and brass chalices. She muttered to herself, "Ruined my chance... Gonna get you...", while wiping blood from her armor to expose the arcane hieroglyphics beneath. Tsthogga, give me strength.

She pressed her hand over a rune that looked oddly like an eye, mid-blink, pulling black-blue mana from both her own faith as well as the panic and death that surrounded her. A tentacle rose in her mind's eye, and she readied herself for summoning.

@Cu Chulainn Money.

@Ryougu Contain basic detail of your made-up equipment, and I'll manufacture more canon weapons and exoskeletons to match. Once we get going, it shouldn't be too difficult to even come up with your own companies and weapon designs, etc. At least, I hope. I'm trying to make this as simple for the player as possible.

@Ryougu That sounds like a Golgari quote. I'm thinking I'm just gonna try to make a few cultists forget who the enemy is, while the strix picks people off at random.
After all, Pavara doesn't really have any stake in this battle aside from attempting to get a fresh human heart.

To Teluval, Farewell

@Gunther The math is indeed intimidating, here. I've got equations and algorithms for literally all of the combat, dice rolls, stat boosts, etc. It's freaking complex. I tried running this awhile back IRL with some friends, and two of them permadied and the last one decided he wanted to commandeer the ship, and assassinated me, as the captain, thanks to the numbers being completely unbiased. It was messed up.

@Infamous Empath The variant numbers are literally just stats. DUR relates to your durability stat, DEX to your dexterity, and so on. You won't have to worry about the numbers, those are more just for reference for you guys. I'll handle the math itself. Basically, the variants are just so you know exactly what your character's strengths and weaknesses are. Ex.: A Pyrotech Mech, with 0 charisma, will have literally no chance of tricking an enemy soldier into believing that it's a french maid. On the other hand, the Mech, with its insane strength and abilities, will have no trouble speargunning a shuttle out of the air, and dragging it back down to fighting level.

@Ryougu Weapons and armour come from various manufacturers, and all players will receive specially issued weapons and armor according to their class and variant upon starting. Those will be issued by your captain.

@Ryougu Working on it. Not entirely certain how to proceed. Mostly, I'm not sure of the tactical placement of the cultists and how exactly to most effectively, and most fittingly use the Strix.

Oh jeez, maybe Ellis and Giles can have group therapy together.
God, the issues with those two.
