Fire Emblem: Ascension

I'm interested in playing in this if you're willing to have me.

Persona: Lost to Darkness

I'm still around, I just don't have much to say at the moment so I'm pretty much waiting for a next opportunity to post.

Persona: Lost to Darkness

Makoto stood by a wall near the cafeteria area, seeing that the tables have been taken. Having sat through the opening ceremony earlier gave him something to smirk at. "It's so much like what I'd expect from the Principal." He said to himself as he opened a bento box that he brought with him from home, which consisted of mainly rice, grilled steak, chicken, and vegetables. Being a chef at the family's restaurant, he made his own lunch thanks to his cooking skills. "Yo Makoto! I see that your lunches are as extravagant as ever!" A voice rang out towards Makoto as he had taken his chopsticks and was about to grab a piece of vegetable. He turned his head towards the direction where the voice was coming from. "Hey Yamato, I guess it is a little extravagant." Makoto said as he saw a guy with short brown hair combed and spiked off to the side, wearing the school's uniform. Yamato is one of the few friends that he has still going to this day. One that is outgoing, and a fun person to be with, not to mention understanding.

The two friends started talking while eating, Yamato had bought some drinks for both of them. "So yeah, the break was kind of dull, meeting my lonely grandmother. It gives me shivers just thinking about it. Let me guess though, you've been kept busy over at your place right?" Yamato said with a smirk. Makoto smirked back. "Yeah, I've been kept busy. It's been a lot busier during the day than it was in the evening. I'm not even sure if it will slow down." Makoto answered. Yamato leaned back towards the wall with his gaze scanning across the cafeteria in deep thought. "So, this is going to be our last year here. After this, we're off on our own huh? I wonder what I'm going to do after this? Maybe I can go to Tokyo or something like that." Yamato said with a deep tone. Makoto thought about this as well and drew a small sigh.

"Well, we just got to do with what most we can of this year, I'm certain that you will have something after all of this." Makoto said as he finished his lunch. "Heh, easy for you to say, after all of this you got stuff over at your place, working full time there. Anyways, you hear 'bout the rumors? Looking at a certain fountain at a park during midnight and you'll see your future? Maybe I'll go check that out just for fun." Yamato asked, laughing a bit on the idea. Makoto's thoughts on it though, wasn't pleasant. "I'd rather that you don't go there. It's bad enough that we got police running around with the disappearance. It's dangerous out there, as well as getting into trouble for sneaking out past curfew." Makoto interjected in a stern tone. Yamato saw there and grinned, waving his hands side to side to try and calm Makoto down. "Hey, I was joking, like I'd believe the whole future seeing thing and all. Hahaha..." Yamato said with a small laugh, at which Makoto sighed with an apology as they got back to talking about other stuff while drinking.

Persona: Lost to Darkness

Makoto Maruki

Name: Makoto Maruki
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birthday/Birthplace/Nationality: April 9/Hirameki/Japanese
Clubs/Extracurricular activities: None
Occupation: Third-Year Student, Co-Chef of the family ran restaurant, Maruki Teppanyaki
Weapon: Kusari-fundo, has a pair wrapped around his forearms to serve as fist weapons, uncoiling for ranged attacks with the weights

Appearance: Makoto stands at an even height of 6' with an average, but healthy build, he has a fair complexion, long, clean blond hair that is almost exclusively seen tied up into a ponytail high up on the back though some days can slope down depending on his mood, and clear grey eyes. Another exclusive quirk that he is seen with is a pair of red leaf-shaped cloth worn with his ponytail at about a half length to his ponytail. His casuals tends to be non-specific, wearing an assortment of plain colors of t-shirts, a black jacket, blue jeans, and white shoes. While going to school, he opts to wearing the uniform and while working at the restaurant a chef's garment.

Personality: Makoto lives with a relaxed personality, a calm, insightful, and morally sympathetic person that anyone can approach without much intimidation. Not much of an outgoing person, but also not a solitary type as he picks his moments to converse when needed or speaks with people who wants to talk to him. He values others over himself, offering help to those who comes to him for his knowledge or insight, even physical help when needed. While he does not actively seek those in need of help, in a case of others truly needing help, he will intervene to help without expectations of being rewarded. He does take a bit of time to do stuff that he enjoys, such as making friends or cooking.

Usually busy with his family and work, he can't really do much for his social life out of his own choice to help out. Here and there though, he makes plans ahead of time, letting everyone involved with the plan know that he has set time aside to do. With this, he doesn't have quite a lot of friends, but the friends that he does make are of quality with those who can understand his situations. More often when he's not busy, he invites his friends over to the restaurant to sit down and spend time and going out, making most of his time he can to enjoy it.

In terms of danger or difficult situations he faces, Makoto stays headstrong, tackling the problem in various ways he can possible, whether it be solving a problem with his insight, or standing firm against danger with the will to fight it. He tends to stay cool-headed, having a very solid fortitude without erupting into anger or excessive force. He doesn't care for bullies or troublemakers at all, usually attempting to defuse the problem calmly with hopes that they turn around and walk away. If all else fails and they continue with the attacks, he will defend himself or others from them. He also is the type that takes pain, both physically and emotionally with gritted teeth, recovering pretty fast to his calm personality as if the pain hasn't hit him at all.

Backstory: Makoto was born in Hirameki under a pair of chefs who recently had moved to Hirameki a few years ago to establish a teppanyaki-style restaurant. While it was a slow start, it had allowed them to spend time with their first born and nurture him with the possibilities in the future. Makoto grew to a fine child who has gain the interest in watching his parents work around in the restaurant that was starting to grow as more and more people came to eat their cooking. At the age of ten, his parents conceived another child to add to the family, this time to be his younger sister named Haruko. He originally wasn't sure that he wanted a sibling, having been the only sibling before, but he quickly grew into the idea of having a younger sibling.

In the transition of middle school, that was when he started making quite a bit of friends to be with. That was also when he got a strong desire to learn how to cook from his parents. It was slow and a little frustrating that he couldn't get started on cooking like his parents, but he accepted that fact and went to started improving on his skills at cooking. Eventually came a turning point when he started letting his hair grow to eventually what it became. Often being picked by those making fun of it and losing some friends who had lost interest in him, he grew a fortitude to deal with the bullies and acceptance to move on from losing his friends, now being a handpicked group that he trusts.

Another turning point in his life came in the last years of middle when he was able to prove his skills at cooking, being accepted into being able to cook food up at front with his parents as a co-chef for the restaurant. Even though it was a desire that was granted, it came with its responsibility that he had to do. With that, he became to the point of being busy helping which cuts out the time that missed out on with his friends. He carried on to high school, going to Satoru High with his friends with the full investment of school and working at the restaurant which tends to get busy, able to spend some time here and there for social life outside of school and the restaurant. Now on his last year of school, he intends to go with the flow of life everyday, pre-determined that after school he'll be devoting towards working at the restaurant full time.

Guilty Gear: X-tinction

It has been a couple of hours since Roy entered the capital of Illyria, having entered the city for the reason to set himself up for mercenary hiring. Hopefully get hired to be one who goes to confront the destroyer who has proclaimed the end of humanity. How exciting that would be, but it was very unlikely that there's someone out there to hire him into doing that. Would be nice to get some amount of money from it, but at the same time it would be useless if the proclamation ended up becoming true, it'd be all for nothing if no one comes to stop him. Roy would at least take the chance to go and kick his butt and save the world, just like two centuries ago.

Walking down a street, Roy was looking down to a portable holographic device, looking up at the news to see if there has been any kind of development about Issun. So far, it seems like there hasn't really been much, but attacks has been reported all over the world. More towards specific people rather than the public masses. "Thinning out the chances of any retaliations, with someone like him, not just anyone can fight him off, only those who knows how to fight to a high degree has at least a chance, and he's after them to assure his destruction..." Roy stopped walking as the wind picked up, blowing past him and sending his ponytail and coat fluttering behind him. Unusually with something grim like that, there would be worry, but Roy maintained a calm impression, something akin to determination. Having set his thoughts together, he continues on walking.

After walking a couple of blocks forward, he caught sound of a large crash and glass shattering. He advert his eyes towards the direction where he heard all of this, seeing that it was coming from a snack store over to his right ahead of him. From where he stood, he could only see two people outside, so he ran towards the chaos to find that more people involved. He saw the destruction that was involved in the snack store, the shattered pieces of glass lying on the ground. One person was in the store, seemingly have smashed into a table, though recovered from it and stood up to shake the dust off. Further look on the person, it was a woman in white with an eyepatch on the right eye, and a large weapon in her hands. It took a bit to jog his memories, but the woman seemed to be familiar. Roy looked around though to see what was going on, quite a bit of other people out in the streets; one person in particular catches his eyes though, the person hooded in a black robe, covering up its face.

Roy started walking towards the group, turning towards the citizens in the snack store. "Go! It's not safe here!" His voice rang in the store, calling them to their senses to get the idea to start running from the scene. He turns back towards the group, listening to a girl ranting towards the one in the store and two other guys about a real fight. Roy gave a small scoff, thinking that she sounded a little ridiculous. "That's quite something you picked to say. I'd say that you're a little ignorant of what's truly going on." Roy commented before his attention turned to the hooded person. "Hey, you a minion of Issun the Destroyer? If so, is he still at the U.K.?" asked Roy. The minion, who remained so calm despite being out numbered, gave him no answers and raised his hand towards the woman and was preparing to fire something at her. A large fireball shot out of his hand and was heading towards the woman. Roy, however, rushed in front of it with his Vorpal Sword drawn in front of him. He raised the sword up, a black length forming between the blades. After the length was completed, Roy struck down his sword, sending a vertical blade beam towards the fireball, effectively cutting it in half. The two halves went past by Roy, scorching his shoulders a bit before dissipating. "So, not the type to answer huh? Guess I'll have to beat it out of you." Roy smirked, unfazed by the scorching of his shoulders and held his sword in front, ready to strike at any moment.

Roy Youngblood

Name: Roy Youngblood

Age: 36

Race: Human

Appearance:


Theme Song: The Light I Shine on You - Kamelot

Personality: Roy stands out to be a calm and collected character alongside with being lighthearted. He has a tendency to make light of a situation, acts pretty chill even at the face of a grim situation, and often likes to crack out jokes. He has a keen sense wisdom, and can emphasize with others despite not having experience every single possible scenarios, though is doubtful to be taken serious with how he normally is. At the worst, he is adamant and hardheaded, once he puts his motives in front, it's hard for him to give up or otherwise be convinced out of, and is quite brash into decisions without considering the consequences. He will admit to his brashness, but he stands firm with confidence and believes for the success even the chances are slim to none.

History: There has been very little recollection of Roy's childhood life although it hasn't been very significant to begin with. He however, had a sense of curiosity of the world as a child, bringing him liking to learn about the world. One thing in particular was the extraordinary events that happened roughly two centuries ago; the world versus the Backyard Resident, Ramletherl Valentine. The events was a key inspiration for Roy to becoming a fighter. When he and his family move to A Country, he encounter a strange person, yet a strong one who goes by the name of Gecko. Gecko himself was a fighter who was on a blacklist for an accused crime, and was often a target to kill, but Roy eagerly went to learn how to fight from this man. Having seen his admiration, Gecko agreed to teach Roy how to fight, passing down his knowledge of swordplay and a little bit of dark magic as well as some philosophies and basic skills like math, reading, writing, and cooking.

Roy's training was rough and Gecko wasn't easy on him to begin with, but his perseverance was keeping him from falling. At the age of sixteen, six years after meeting Gecko, he was involved with an assassination attempt on Gecko which was the last one attempted on Gecko. Roy fought to his last possible breath to defend Gecko from the assassins, but ended up getting cut up near the gut. He passed out the moment he saw Gecko get killed. The assassins left with their mission completed and thought Roy to be dead, but a doctor had arrived in time to find the unconscious Roy still alive. Now stitched up and recovered thanks to the doctor, Roy returns to Gecko's place, finding a written letter addressed to him, encouraging him to follow his beliefs and strive to the future.

From that point on, he worked as a mercenary, honoring Gecko as his mentor and fulfilling his wish without remorse or acting on impulse to avenge Gecko. Wandering around the world for a couple of decades, being hired as a mercenary although has a reputation to be a goody two shoes type which gave him trouble with quite a bit of people. Now though, he is currently unemployed until the news of a destroyer appeared before the world, proclaiming the end of mankind. With his mind set, Roy travels to the U.K. to confront this danger, following his inspiration that came from two centuries ago.

Weapon(s): Vorpal Sword - A long sword tailored to meet Roy's style and likes, one of his treasures he keeps dear. Unlike a traditional long sword, it has two blades instead of one, splitting down the center where the fuller is lacking. The hilt is in a golden color with the grip wrapped in leather and the blades a dark grey color. The sword is found to be quite durable even with the lacking of a fuller, very sharp in its cutting power, and is often used in tandem with his dark magic.

Abilities/Powers:

Absent Now, Tardy Later - Roy has an innate ability to teleport into thin air, leaving a black after image in his place. He can reappear at any point within a radius of several feet from his original position. The drawback to this ability is that there is a lag delay in between teleportation of roughly ten seconds before reappearing, and another couple of seconds to materialize before being able to move, and he cannot warp through walls or buildings.

Lights are Down - Roy uses his weapon to slash through the air, creating a black wave projectile that moves fairly fast for a couple of meters in the direction he slashed. The properties of this ability is unique, as it expresses total darkness when looking at it when swallowed by it. Can also be used as a wall to ward against other projectiles, but isn't the best wall in the world.

Black Ego - Much like the after image in Absent Now, Roy creates one besides him. This time, however, is like a sentient being on its own, working side by side with Roy. The after image is weaker in abilities and combat in comparison to Roy, but more than capable to holding someone down while he strikes. It is only capable of lasting about five minutes at most, disappearing, though it is not capable of taking on most hits before vanishing as well.

Blackout - Roy points his sword up as several runic glyph lights up in a purple hue through the space between the blades. A few moments passes by before a large magic seal forms above him. After completing the seal, he moves his sword downwards to the ground, the seal following along with the tip. Planting his sword to the ground, the seal is complete and a black sphere forms around him. It then expands to several meters, covering everything within it in total darkness. Only him and those and has senses to see in total darkness can see everything as normal, though Roy's eyes glows a purple color. Within the sphere, he has free reign to do what he wishes, before the sphere collapses within thirty seconds.

It's Heaven or Hell. Let's Rock!

So yeah, actually looking forward to this although it was difficult coming up with something for a long while. Let me know if something needs to be fixed or something, I'm all ears.

Hiya!

Sent you a PM with interest.
