I just can't. This is too much. Berserk was so influential on so many things that I love. Goodbye, Miura. You'll be missed by many.

Bio
Hello! Welcome to my little bio.
Not much to say, really. Just a horror game protag that likes writing and playing vidya games when I'm not being chased by the cosmic forces of darkness. (I'm a security guard that works night shifts usually).
"Excuse me?" Raella liked to think, she was fairly observant, but this sassy little druid had made the mistake of well, sassing her. Raella frowned, with a little chuckle of disbelief. "No, I live in a manor in Sigil. Maybe I need to introduce myself. Ahem," Raella ran a hand through her hair, flipping it in a totally cool fashion. "Raella Norinthall, of House Norinthall. One of the oldest and should I say, feared and respected noble houses in Sigil. Though I suppose a leaf-eating discount elf like you that spends more time rolling around in the mud like some rabid animal probably doesn't understand what that means or who that is, so I'll tell you."
As Raella spoke, right behind the druid a large squid like tentacle would pop up from the ground, shimmering into existence and make an attempt to grab the Halfling by its ankles.
"It means, you should tell me exactly what I asked before I decide to feed you to whatever fish lives in that lake. Got it?"
Roll for perception to notice Tanrith and the others: Nat 1 Roll for grapple: 9
"So is that a no?" Colleen frowned, pouting slightly. "Come on, I'm a great student! I'm easy to teach." Still, things had happened fast and even if she was putting on a somewhat brave and friendly face, well...Colleen stood up, stretching and flexing her arms. "Eh, probably for the best. I'm gonna head outside a bit. Don't worry, not gonna go far. Just gonna get in some exercise and work out a little." Giving the bird and mage a wave and patting the goblin on the head as she'd pass, Colleen would head back outside of the small cottage, wary enough not to stray too far to any fairies that might be around as she'd plant her feet firmly on the soil.
First, some simple stretches. A few lunges, a few squats. Some hip and torso rotations. This new body of hers felt good and particularly physically fit even more so than her old one. Everything seemed like it was in place and she wasn't hurting anywhere from over stretching or doing things to fast. An exhalation of breath and Colleen started with the basics. A few jabs. Uppercut. Knife hand. Each repeated a few times. Axe kick. Crescent kick.
"Okay. Feels good." Colleen flexed her hand, bouncing on the spot as she'd exhale. "Lets get a little more aggressive then."
A simple axe kick flowing into a jump spin back kick, into a very simple roundhouse kick.
"Okay, okay, feeling it." There was an odd tingly sensation though, every time she moved or completed a movement that would be right at the point of contact. Probably nothing to worry about. Small breather into a push kick, followed by a butterfly kick for style points, landing into a tornado kick. A small spin and -
"Eh?"
First, she had not realized she was that close to a tree. Her foot slammed into the bark, but that wasn't the surprising thing. That was the loud, high pitched firecracker like series of popping noises that rang out at the moment of impact. Instead of her foot harmlessly bouncing off her her getting injured, her foot was fine. The tree, however, was not. At the point of impact the tree bark had been completely disintegrated, a chunk of the wood and bark having quite literally exploded outward and leaving a good sized hole in the tree.
"Did...I? Was that...Me?" Colleen had to test this again. Was that the tingly feeling she had felt when she was practicing? She'd do a few more forms, and with a bit of effort she was able to do it again with some semblance of certainty. Of course, now there were little burn marks and chunks of the ground having been properly exploded a bit, but this wasn't her yard now was it?
Sneasel took another vine whip right to the face, the pokemon growling in annoyance. Bound as it was, it couldn’t move as fast as it had and it was definitely hurting. Bea, remained calm, though, and didn’t miss a second.
“Hmph. Sneasel, close that distance immediately! Quick attack!”
Snarling, the Sneasel would duck low, avoiding one of Luna’s vines, closing the distance btween the two of them in seconds. Now within its attack range, Luna would find the Sneasels head meeting her own, deciding to use its head as the best quick attack candidate that it had sending Luna reeling and doubly so freeing itself from the wrap.
“Sneas…”
Not that it would change the result. The vines wrapped around the Sneasel’s body once again, sapped its health as the Sneasel struggled to stand. The Leech seed hadn’t finished it off, but one more attack seemed like the Sneasel was going down for the count. Luna seemed like she was doing fine, thanks to the leech seed but she was definitely hurting a bit.
“That leech seed really got ya, eh Bea?”
“Shut up.”
“Pawniard, another Fury Cutter! Don’t let up not for a second!”
“Paawn!”
Running forward, the Pawniard’s blades were once again poised to strike.
“Munchlax, defense curl!” There was no way Munchlax was avoiding the strike, the best she could do was hope that she could hold it off until Snivvy dealt with that Sneasel and keep buffing Munchlaxes defense.
“Muuunch-!” Munchalx jumped lightly into the air, curling its body and tucking its legs and arms around itself making it almost look like a little blue ball. The Pawniard’s claws struck, sending Munchlax rolling along the ground.
“Ngh, that fury cutter’s no joke…Munchlax you alright!?”
“L-lax…” Munchlax unrolled itself, not having any time to collect itself as the Pawniard was already running at it again, another Fury cutter at the ready…
You’re on the road of Route 5. Full of old ruins and plenty of pokemon. Route 4 and Route 2 are easily accessible from here. Train pokemon in the current area? Who knows, maybe you could get a few quick levels here. Look for pokemon. Who knows, maybe you could find something neat here. If so, describe how you search and if you’re looking for anything in particular. Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.) You could probably find a few trainers on the plains. Exploring ruins may also yield some interesting results, perhaps. Could go see what those ‘miscreants’ Laurel mentioned were up to…
Gastly laughed, shook its spherical body, and then promptly left through the floor.
Seemed like it didn’t wanna come along.
The factory had now since powered down, the humming and whirring machinery having powered down and falling into dormancy once again. The stairs would lead down to an old meeting room of some sort, and after leaving through another set of double doors she’d find herself standing firmly on the warehouse floor now.
She could see the others here…and a crashed Forklift, having barreled through one of the doors.
Well, seemed this place was rendered just a bit safer now and she could probably leave without too many other problems now.
“You…want to trade contact info-Hey!” Before Yasu could predictably reject such an idea, Hatty would grab Yasu’s own phone from her pocket, levitate it up to herself and put in whatever number Camila told her. “...whatever, fine, Hatty, if you want to make friends. And no, I don’t know anything about that.” Yasu stepped inside of the temple again, grumbling to herself as the door creaked shut behind her. Seemed she wasn’t being any friendlier now, and she wanted to be left alone. Might not be a good idea to immediately press the issue.
So with nothing else to do in Pines End, Camila would head on, heading out of the northern end of the town and heading onto…
-Route 3-[/hr]
The climate here was warm, and pleasant. A breeze swept across the lush green plains and farmland that extended from the forest around Pines End all the way to the central plains. The fields here were where a good majority of regional produce was made, with berries, plants, and similar things being made with the help of pokemon and good old fashioned human elbow grease.
A few farmhouses dotted the landscape between small clusters of trees and farmland. In the distance, along the coast was an odd looking, oddly modern building. A telescoping lens extended from a domed ceiling, several meters out and into the air, peering at the sky. Around it was a fenced off area with several warnings around it and what seemed to be weather equipment. In a larger building nearby, a large radar dish slowly turned. An observatory or weather station of some kind?
*Beep.
Her phone beeped. Yasu had sent her a text.
Look. Thanks for the help. You and your friend didn’t have to, but you did. It was my mistake to even try to do anything or ask for help.
Look. Just, sorry. Thanks. And if you did find some sorta weird photo in the shrine it was probably put there for a reason. Come back some time. Or don’t. I’ll try not to be so grumpy.
Well, that was probably as much positivity and friendliness she was getting out of Yasu for the moment.
Hurry through back to Pines end, or continue on your way to Peltra. The route near Peltra gradually grows less green and lush… Train pokemon. (Skip the grind, and we get to the result. Tell me how you train and if you just grind wild mon or some other creative training) Go find some wild pokemon. Some trainers can probably be found here, and the farmers and workers probably won’t mind a little distraction. Go visit this Observatory? Random event (Want to bully the GM? Ask him to make a random encounter for you that isn’t any of the above or below. Quality will vary.)
In a secluded grove, far away from help or anyone else should she find herself being accosted by a pokemon again. It was probably fine. This section of the forest was oddly quiet, either naturally or as a result of whatever had done the damage here earlier.
Rustle rustle…
A few leaves in a nearby bush shifted audibly. Someone was moving in the bush.
“Buuu…?”
A little budew poked its head out of the bush, seemingly drawn here by the noise and commotion earlier. It froze upon seeing Isla and the two foxes.
"Ugh why are all the animals here talking? Are we in a Disney movie or something..." Colleen frowned, eyes focusing on the Raven, only to stare blankly as the bird then, somehow presumably using magic, decided to start looking like a human. Still, she was helping so she should try to summarize then. "So, in short...the shrines bad, and we'll probably die if we go there. The forest is big, we'll probably get lost and whisked away to neverland if we go out without you."
Colleen pouted slightly.
"Tch, why do I gotta be babysat by a girl who doesn't even look old enough to be left at home by herself..." Geh, she wanted to exercise or go to a gym, maybe take some annoyance out on a punching bag. Greenie and the kid didn't look like they'd be a good sparring partner. She wanted to do something to clear her head for a bit. Training and physical work always did that. Shadow boxing? hmng, maybe there was a barrel or old log around here she could use...
"...hey waiiit, actually, if you're a witch you can do magic stuff right? Like that barrier thing?" She had never held much interest in that kinda thing, mostly because it never existed, but it was obvious it existed right here. "D'ya think I could learn?"
Really, she had just spoke the truth! The librarian was an old hag that couldn't tell a gnome from a dwarf! Not to mention she offered to buy the books she had...ahem, misplaced! What, did the Librarian think she couldn't just throw around money? Well, she could! Raella trudged, in quite an annoyed fashion along the road as they made their way to Tir Na Ong. Really, should she complain to dad? Have that place raided? Audited? Tch, just thinking about it made her want to shove that silly Librarian in their place even more.
Geh, it was a good thing she was a good little girl and didn't cause trouble or that Librarian would so totally get it!
"And what is with this fog!?" Raella shouted, just a little irritated still. "Ugh, Arndell, carry me." She should really work on getting a levitation spell so she could just float and swim through air like she could water. "...and what are with these weirdos here?" Her eyes scanned the groups present. Three distinct ones. Some armored meatheads, some funky looking druids, and some unarmored meatheads. What, did she miss a memo about some physical fitness competition being held all the way out here? Actually, come to think of it weren't those armored guys members of the Doom Guard? And those martial arts uniforms were part of the Transcendent order? She didn't recognize the others, but why were they out here? She at least, did not need a reason to be anywhere so of course she was always where she was supposed to be.
"Actually, scratch that, touch me and you'll give me half your next paycheck." Raella responded, humming lightly as she observed the going ons. Well, if nothing else, the annoyance at getting kicked out of the library was slowly being replaced with curiosity. Raella would first, approach one of the troubled looking Druids, preferably one that is by itself if she was so lucky as to find one and casually, strike up a totally non intrusive fishing for information conversation. "So what are the Doomguard and Transcendant Order doing here that's got you country bumpkins all in a tizzy? Gond the wonderbringer get arrested for something or are we just having a party here? "
Appearance: Chiori clocks in at roughly 5'4, with pale skin and can often be found wearing a comfy jacket at school over her uniform, sporting immaculate painted nails and we'll kept black hair with pink highlights. A slightly more rebellious appearance for someone with a personalty that wants nothing more than to not stand out or be noticed in some way. When not at school or otherwise, she can be found wearing some pretty typical more punk like fashion. She thinks dressing the part will make her more confident. It only kind of works.
Personality: Otaku punk who has a tendency to speak very little. In her day to day, she tends to keep to herself, not really wanting to interact with others too much - she finds people and relationships exhausting. Not that she doesnt want to get along with people, she just doesnt know how to really properly do so. This tends to make her come off as just a bit standoffish and rude to others so she ends up keeping most people at arms length. Really, she's just nervous and somewhat socially anxious and doesn't know how to speak up well and is somewhat weak willed.
Notably though, she does her studies well, and puts a great deal of effort into most things she does, as long as they don't relate to interacting with people overly much beyond the typical student and day to day duties she does.
Likes to dote on her little sister.
Backstory: Chiori, has had a completely mundane life, being completely unaware of the supernatural happenings around her. Happy family, and an adorable little sister she wants to spoil at every turn, a pet cat. The only notable thing, perhaps, was how little of a presence she had in her day to day. Not exactly being shy or awkward, rather it seemed as though she didn't take much interest in other people.
Truthfully, she's still not super certain about this whole mess she finds herself in. Her forming a Contract with a moon rabbit was about as mundane as the rest of her life.
A new years festival she was attending with her family. She wanted some piece and quiet, so chiori ended up wandering off alone somewhere quiet...quiet enough that she heard a gentle thumping sound, like something or someone beating something...and notably, a large pile of freshly made Mochi nearby sitting in front of an offering box.
Now, good religious Japanese kids would definitely not take or even entertain the idea of it. Chiori, was not a good kid some of the time. She only had one as far as she tells it, and the next thing she knew was the feeling of being lightly bonked on the head and a somewhat irritated, talking, rabbit.
"That mochi wasn't for you! I'd have been happy to make you some, but I was making that for the shrine!"
Not knowing quite what to say or respond with, by the time she had realized it, she agreed to help the rabbit replace the ones she had eaten...unknowingly, and not quite reading the fine print of permanent mochi making employement.
Skills: Very quickly becoming skilled in the traditional act of Mochi making, but otherwise nothing particularly helpful to her current occupation. She's fairly knowledgeable about computers, though and cooks for herself and little sister every so often.
Spiritual Energy Grade: S
Contracted Being: Lunar Rabbit
Contract Rank: C
Contract Abilities: The Lunar Rabbit, is not an incredibly strong entity. The only thing that makes it strong, perhaps, is Chioris abnormally high amount of spiritual energy. Being depicted as fighting Sun Wukong in the Journey to the west, as a being that pounds mochi or the elixir of life on the moon, to a selfless and wise creature that sacrificed itself so another could eat.
As far as abilities go towards Chiori, the rabbit is often seen as a symbol of luck and fortune, and as such blesses Chiori with the same, however small of an amount, that makes her able to nudge things just in her favor a little.
Her main ability though, is being able summon a rabbits mochi mallet to herself as a weapon to smash grudges. The weapon itself is a large decorative hammer with a rabbit face carved into the face of the hammer. Just as well, and much to her bemusement, using this causes her to grow rabbit ears and her hair to turn pink as well as converts spirit energy into raw physical force...for beating grudges into Mochi, of course.
Cost: The cost for her is fairly simple and straight forward. Make Mochi. Lots and lots of Mochi. Hand and traditonally made, and then given to others at least once a week. It doesnt matter what kind of Mochi it is, as long as its hand made and given to others. On holidays such as the new year, she is required to make more. As she has yet to experince her first new year as a contractor, she dreads to find out exactly how much 'more' is.
