Ascension: Blood Moon Trial

Still want to try this.

The Vanishing Kingdom

“Yo, Copy, come check this out,” Zeph called to Zephel. He was standing at his desk slapping his hand on a large binder. The hangar office was cluttered with parts, notes, random scribblings, some adult reading material, and food wrappers. It was obvious that Zeph had another binge session of drafting from the bags under his eyes and stupid grin. “I think we’ve about got it. In this binder right here is all the blueprint material for the Grande Dame. If we are lucky, we can have an airship by the end of the year now! It’s just… well… we lack materials, and the budget is nearly all burnt up.”

He turned around and looked at other blueprint books. “I mean, we can try to build smaller personal craft to start, but I want to build the Grande Dame as my flagship. Uhg, Yiris always knew how to get some cash, but since she’s left, I’ve come to find out I’m not so frugal. If you can, could you find a few bounties to knock out? You are used to doing all that adventuring stuff, I can get us a head start while you are out.”

"Who the hell you calling a copy anyway?" Zephel grumbled over a spoiled jar of milk and sugarless grains he was forced to consume both for nutrients and his lack of funds. He sighed. "If only I could eat electricity." He looked at the sketches of Zeph's grand plan, the Grande Dame. Something he's been planning for a long time, even Zephel was curious of how he would get it all to work. Smaller crafts were one thing, but a large airship was unheard of. Only in theory books did it exist. "Alright. I think it's about time I went out and caught us some bounties. I need to reward myself with a juicy steak." He seemed to be in heaven suddenly, his eyes seeing something not there. He stumbled his way to the door in this stupor, forgetting he had a bowl of food once reaching the door and spilling it outside and some on himself. He wiped himself off. "Ah. Shit. I hope none hit my electric lining." He began walking down the road while still fussing over the stains he may have. Bowl tarnished on the ground behind him.

He came to a wanted bounty poster. These things were kept up to date. He looked it over a bit to see what was there exactly, and what would be worth his time...

Bump

Ascension: Blood Moon Trial

This roleplay will be a sort of a one-shot. If things go well perhaps there can be roleplay to be had but at the beginning, it will be just the group defeating the bad guys and solving or failing to solve the mystery of the blood moon worshipping cult. The Therosi.

Wounds

Max Wounds - This will essentially be the characters hit points. However unlike games where HP allows a character to fight at top strength until they reach 0 characters receiving wounds will be at the brink of death and immobility by the time they get near their maximum.

Highly effective attacks - If a character is hit with something that is of an attack / spell type they are weak against (Rating 1-10) It will count more toward the wound that is inflicted.

Wound levels

Minor Wound - Two of these count as a wound.

Wound - A simple wound that no one would want to have one of. But it is no where near a death sentence.

Major Wound - This counts as two to three wounds.

Deadly Wound - This counts as three to five wounds.

Combined attacks

These attacks combine two or more elements of a character's ER level for an attack or an action. Depending on the number of stats being used divide them by the total number of stats being used.

Examples: 2 stat combo (1/2)

3 stat combo (1/3)

4 stat combo (1/4)

(x3: Fire: 20 Water: 100 Dark: 5)

20/ 3 = 7 (rounded ^)

100/ 3 = 33 ( rounded v)

5/3 = 2 (rounded ^)

total = 42 ER

Ascension: Blood Moon Trial

The Blood Moon...

It shines high above the land shining like an inverted sun. The endless night sky raining light into your eyes, yet remains stifled by the glowing crimson mass. Its own light devouring the night sky. Turning it into an endless void of black. Giving reflection to a now red lagoon, a reminder of where primordial life began, and where it may all end...

Gently stepping upon the red lake were many hooded figures. Their robes seeming to merge with the moonlit waters. Several of these figures came to tall symbolic alters. In their arms were limp bodies. With chains they hung each body onto the alters to hang over the lake, the waters washing over their feet. Then each hooded being slowly sunk until nothing was left above the surface. Leaving behind the lifeless people being hung on the alters lined next to each other. The land began to permeate with a red mist. More figures appearing around the lake holding candles. The night of the blood moon has begun...

And you awaken.. Finding yourself upon an alter looking down at quiet tides of blood. Yet it was not your blood.. As you looked around you see other next to you. Awaiting their fates aswell...

The Therosi

You will be starting as a captive of the Therosi...

Factions

Taxis / Healers

Job: What kind of work does this character do for a living? Having a job increases the likelihood of starting the game with a citizenship badge. Something you need to go into capital cities.

Keep in mind your character cannot have relationships with nobility or royalty. He/She cannot be acquainted with a master or some ancient creature for their training. All NPCs that you designate to your character must have no importance in the major scheme of the world and cannot give your character something that can be considered a special ability. They can however offer basic training in whatever path you wish to take your character.

Motivation: What drives your character in life and what is their personal goal in this world?

Birthplace: Where were they born? If no nowhere specific can be thought of just tell which territory they were on. Please refer to the map.

Focus on having a well-described polished sheet to be rewarded with good items and more.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Zephel Ragnikai

Zephel Ragnikai

Age: 22

Race: Varuk

Appearance: Tall and slender unlike many of his tribe who prefer to be bulky and strong. He stands 6’5 and does not come off as intimidating. Instead, his form appears more built for speed than anything else.

Personality: A quiet young man that is more observant in nature. Perhaps more mature than his age he tries to cut at the heart of things with his words and actions. A neutral figure in most cases he would rather let two people fight than stop it but would attempt to save who he can from a burning building. He eats only fresh foods and has a curiosity for everything.

Bio: Born from a successful tribe of large game hunters Zephel was the runt of not only his family but his entire tribe. This made physically hunting his people’s favorite meat hard to do. With his superior speed he could hunt many smaller creatures, but without the strength needed he could never be more than a low-level hunter. Destined for mediocrity he began making traps. At first, they were weak and ineffective, but over many years he perfected the traps he made. Catching larger and larger games without needing the strength to apply his people's hunting strategies. However, this form of hunting put him at odds with the elite hunters who were successful with strength and skill. He was often ridiculed for his traps despite how successful he was.

This led him to be banished. Not for his traps alone but for his one mistake. Traps often are not set to discriminate on what enters their ensnarement. And for this, a hunter had to suffer what was meant for a beast. Zephel began wandering the lands with nothing but his knowledge of traps. He managed to find ways to make ends meet. Either through selling beast hides or their meat. But only after thieves fell into his trap did he have a taste of what else he could do for coin. He began hunting wanted criminals. Finding a fair bit of success when working with others who were willing to share the bounty. His ability to scout safely made him ideal for aiding in larger bounty hunts.

He was able to begin his journey into technology in Portea. Being initially ignorant of how certain tools worked he began to comprehend their ways by buying books and asking those more knowledgeable than him what they knew. Once he discovered electrical currents and what materials allowed them to be used properly he sought those and other items that would allow him to wield this power even more. Without a home, he put all of his resources into knowledge on magic, technology, and enchanted items. Soon he was capable of either crafting or purchasing what he could use for his traps to advance.

He spends most of his time now in Portea, traveling only for pay or his search for advancing knowledge.

Equipment:

A small assortment of items was placed together to form new contraptions.
Electric Trip wires - A line of metal wires that conducts electricity. He often places them around beforehand so one can walk into them.

Lightning rod - A metal pole that has been struck by lightning, and with its enchantment, retains some of its power. This pole has been fashioned with a rubber handle to reduce the voltage for the wielder. Used to prod and stun small creatures such as rabbits with only a tap. Larger creatures, such as Dogs, are effectively shocked but not immobilized. Only by amplifying the voltage by waving his hand over the other layers of enchantment on the pole does he reach a level that can stun Bears briefly. It has three levels at max. The final level is able to release a single but powerful jolt that can cook flesh or floor a large beast. After this jolt is released it needs to recharge.

Electro spheres - Orbs that can conduct electricity and can be harmful depending on how much is inside of them. Releases an electric field up to 10 feet.

Arm bolt - A small crossbow for his metal spike arrows. These small arrows attract electrical currents up to 5 feet.

Storm Converter’s Garb - An outfit made with many rubbers, even having a rubber cape and goggles. The metal protection on the shoulders resembling royal cloaks attracts electricity while the gloves repel. This allows the wearer to bring an electrical current to them and change its direction. This is due to the wires that connect throughout the upper body of the outfit.

Abilities:

Ragnikai - His tribe used strength, technique, and a bit of magic to apply enough force to their strike to stun or wound large beasts. They focused on hitting the right areas and using team tactics to get close hits in. Zephel was trained in this too. Though he did not master it he is capable of applying a "Ragnikai" strike to beasts and humanoids at times with decent effect.

Speedster - Built for high-speed running he has excellent stamina and speed. He can perceive things at a high rate of speed.

Hunter’s eyes - He can more easily perceive living camouflaged creatures in the wilds or even in the shadows.

Engineer - A mind geared toward solving practical issues with materials he can solve certain problems with relative ease.

Extra notes: Sundor - He owns a blue-colored falcon he uses for scouting. It is trained to make noise when a target is visible below it as it soars the skies.
