Storm of the Ages

One Piece: Guided by a Curse

"Today is the day," Issac told himself, "today is the day I finally get off this island!" He had been a not so willingly resident of the secluded land for nearly four months, and somehow the castaway never stopped believing that he could free himself from the torment of solitude. If he were an ordinary man, he might have starved to death weeks ago, but supplies always seemed to was ashore at the last moment, keeping Issac on the constant line between life and death. Three times since he had thought himself rescued, but the storms around the island we vicious, almost finding enjoyment out of the false security of an empty sea, but they couldn't fool him. He scrapped together two long planks with a loosely fit string and whipped the achievement from his brow. "I got you this time, sea. You can sink their ships, but you still gave me lumber," he laughed. "Check and mate."

"Not goinggggg to worrrrrk," Sasayaki hmmm. She was the treasure weapon of this clan, a kusarigame forged from the remains of a monster valiantly slain, yet also 110 alive and a pain in his ass. At the start of the journey, she was as normal as any legendary weapon could be, but Sasayaki gained the unfortunate ability to talk after she managed to consume the devil fruit that washed up in the first wreckage. She had been attempting to lure ships to the island ever since, humming an eerie tune that reached wide. "You couldn't build a boat if your life depended on it."

"It's not a boat," Issac grinned. "The sea can sink a boat, but she wont be expecting a raft, and the crappier, the better," he laughed, unapologeticly. "You think you're soooo clever," he screamed to the salt blue horizon, "but you're not as smart as you think!"

The black chain loosened from behind his back and peaked out over his shoulder, the blunted end of the kusarigama swaying back and forth like a curious child. "Uhhhhhg! Why are you sooooo basic!" she moaned. "Of all the people to awaken me, I had to be stuck with you."

Issac tucked her back, too focused on his ingenious plan to trick the sea when, when he heard a rumble in the distance. His eyes left his raft for one moment before he felt the wood slide off the stand that held it in place, his wrist somehow tangled in the twine that held it together. "Here we go again," Sasayaki declared, finding her enjoyment as the force of the rafted swept him off his feel and sliding to the beach below. His mouth caught the sand as they stopped just shy of the waters, gifting him with the most flavor he had tasted in months. "Andd scene," Sasayaki finished.

The beaten man stumbled to his feet, shaking the sand out of places that sand should never be. He looked at his raft, mangled on the shore, and took a moment of silence for his failed creation. "Attempt number 121, failed, but still promising. I don't care if it takes a thousand tries, I will beat this island."

Sasayaki hummed, so close to his ears that he felt his soul shake, before becoming uncharacteristically quiet. Quickly her chain loosened, weaving it's way through the air like a musical serpent, only stopping when Issac caught the handled section of the bladed end. "Ohhhhh. Myyyy. God. It just might be your lucky day," she screeched.

"Isn't it always," Issac smiled, seeing the ship drift closer to him, its mast resting across the deck. "Close enough," he remarked, believing this time would be truly different.

One Piece: Guided by a Curse

Name: Isaac, aka Lucky

Age:26

Motto: If you have to fail, fail spectacularly!

Race: The fallen, a group skypieans that fell from the sky long after cursed by an ancient creature with devil fruit powers. They live atop a black cloud in the north blue, where no one dares visit.

Abilities: to be completed

Weapon: Sasayaki - A legendary kusarigama forged from the remains of the fallen's greatest enemy, the mythical "sky god," which signifies the the once might of these cursed people. Despite it's power and durability, no man dared to wield the weapon, fearing that touching the kusarigama would once again anger the gods and cause more misfortune upon the fallen. Since then, it has found the hands of Issac, and through a turn luck, ingested the whisper whisper fruit, earning it's new name.
Weapon personality: Sasayaki has no sense of boundaries, and makes it a point into the private lives of every person she meets. When excited, the blunt end will become free, looking back and forth as if the weapon could, which is not far from the truth. Sasayaki can control sound in her immeadiate area, giving her the ability to see through sonar, and the ability to talk. Her high speed vibrations increase the impact power of her blunt end, which she calls the "Sonic Boom headbutt." Issac constantly reminds her that she doesn't infact have a head, but Sasayaki insists that she is more alive that any other punk around her, and if anyone else says otherwise, they will be 100% more dead. She is short tempered, unfiltered, and always looking for trouble. Despite this, she is committed to protecting Issac's "clumsy ass," because without him, she would know what it was like to see. For fun, she likes to take Issac on walks.. don't ask..


Bio: Issac comes from a curse race, that is often shunned by those around the north blue. Once a race of legendary hunters, the fallen have become a shadow of their former selves after their greatest victory backfired. Not much is known about the events that lead to the fall of the cloud island, but the elders have spoke of a powerful creature that curse the land before the fallen lost their place in the sky.

Many of the inhabitants of "Black cloud island" live a life of superstition, but not Issac. Where other avoid mishap, Issac seeks to overcome his curse, pushing his luck further than any fallen before him. Because of this, Issac is constantly a victim of unusual circumstance, and the townfolks began to call him, "Lucky" as a joke in the village. This name has only fueled the odd man, driving him to someday beat the odds. With this in his heart, he took the strongest weapon the town possessed, Sasayaki, and set out for sea. Issac was going to become strong, strong enough to stand with great men that existed in greater seas. Issac was going to sail the grandline, redeeming his name, and maybe, finding the creature that cursed his family to reclaim his life.

Since starting his voyage, Issac has survived 5 shipwrecks, 8 evacuation level weather events, 7 unexplainable building collapses, 3 navy assaults, and 2 sea king rampages. His currently location is a small uninhabited island, which he washed ashore on after being launched in the air by an upstream. Issac has been alone for 121 days, surviving on fruits and supplies that inexplicitly wash ashore. In this time, he came to the realization that the curse didn't want him to die, only to suffer, which caused gave him a dangerous plan when a devil fruit washed ashore one day. Issac planned to eat the fruit, and test his luck in the ocean, when for no reason at all, the fruit vanished. He would later discovered his weapon, sasayaki, had eaten the fruit in his stead, foiling his plans, but giving him the unbreakable companion he had always needed. Issac survived on comprimises

Personality: Issac is constantly fluctuating between foolishly optimist, to devastatingly pessimistic. He is constantly failing at what he wants to do, but somehow he always get by. If there is one constant in his life, it is that he is willing to challenge any superstition, even if it seems foolish. This leads him to easily becoming baiting into dangerous situation to prove a point.

Famous cursed words: What could possibly go wrong??

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

I think its safe to say most of the hunters and huntresses have to have something special in order to make it in gram. Some of the elder grim are more powerful than our open teachers, so I don't know if walking to gram would be the best way to go.about it

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

What's holding you guys up? This first day is just the "get to know you" phase of the rp so we can establish character relationships. Fell free to talk amongst yourself before we end the day and get to crazier stuff. If your having trouble, I'm sure we can give you suggestions of what to do, you just have to ask.

Ash quietly protested from before she gave in to and marched passed him on her way to the library; the only place with computers that didn't require any questions. "Are you coming?" she asked behind him, knowing that would be.

The library was where she spent most of her first week at Gram, combining through new books in rush to check out those she had never seen before. Hours would pass each day before she ever realized, and the girl found herself more of a hermit than she wanted to be in the new place. Life was going to harder in gram, and she vowed to herself that she would try harder too.

Her fidgety nose took a deep whiff when she had arrived, taking in the smell of knowledge and scholastic alike. Her eyes scanned the room the new comers, but only the usual suspects inhabited such place, giving her a familiar comfort. She avoided her usual path forward and hooked it right where several computer stations where set up in compact squares in a section of the library that talking was actually encourage. "This is the research area," she noted, "I do believe you will find the technology her, sufficient."

Suddenly, she realized the didn't actually ask him anything yet. She spied back to see how he was doing and slipped to a more casual tone and asked, "Sooo, who are you and what are you about?" Quickly, she averted her eyes in hope the strange man wouldn't get the wrong idea; it was all business from here on out.

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

What are you guys waiting for? I'll have a post up in a bit, I was just too distracted by a big test to get a post up until today. Need a nap first though =P

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

Just a reference for those of you don't know, Ash only has four scarves on her. She has two smaller scarves wrapped around her wrist like bandages that are usually hidden under her cloths, one around her waist that sort of looks like a belt which can either be over the cloths or only under the first layer of cloths, and the one large scarf across her neck that drapes down.

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

Before she knew it, she was surrounded by new students, a thought that didn't sit well with her. Her steady eyes watched them from the corners and observed them as they past with no regard for what she was doing. Two seemed more interested in eating that others, especially the man that sat next to him with the friends forever feel. As concerning as his confidence was, she was more focused on the faunus, who was unfortunate enough to be born into this word half cat; Ash hated cats. Just as it looked like she would have to engage a crowd the man rose, forfeiting his meal for a bit of privacy, or so she assumed. He stood up and walked past he with the grace of an ally dog and spew the attitude of one as he passed her.

She froze for a second, unknowing of the right way to go as he target escaped. One look was what she spared the new arrivals, tucking her her shirt over the scarves that wrapped her wrists like bandages and then flipping fall over her shoulder with attitude as she turn for the chase.

"Hey," she yelled, half waving her while pacing close to him. She got within arms length and lingered just outside his reach. "I wasn't done questioning you."

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

I'll be at school for a long while so don't go too far ahead =P

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

What Ash saw as she tip toed her way into the foreign ship could only have been described as a massacre. Rations left and were placed on the table for the taking and there seemed to be no end to strangers apatite. At first she thought the man might have been preparing a meal for his friends, but no such people were behind her, and he started eating before he even had the chance to prove him wrong.

Likes food, she scribbled in a notebook that was previously sheaved in her satchel. Her pen slashed across the paper like a knife to a lamb; every little piece of information providing the sacrifice she needed to survive. Sloppy, messy, inconsiderate, she added, making sure not to miss one thing in her notes. She wanted to write down more, but there were only so many adjectives she could spare, and Ash knew Jade wouldn’t be satisfied with simple observations. Instead, she pressed her book closed with clap and tucked it back to its rightful home.

The next part was to be the hardest in her mission, and the faunus knew there was little room error. She took a deep breath and loosened her scarf, followed by a few nudges on her cloths to make sure nothing would give the wrong impression. A few light steps lead her out of the shadows and few more lead into the room where the green man was already well into his meal. “Hey-“ she said too softly to be heard, and instantly shrugged it off. Social situations were not her strong suit, and talking to strangers definitely made things worse. Her lowered for a moment, then raise again when she was ready to engage the beast. “So you like food..” she stated. “That’s cool.”
