Tarquin

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

Katrina Carlus

CS

Name: Katrina Carlus
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance:


Personality: Katrina is a blunt, brusque, and boisterous girl. She is the type to get into a lot of fights, but not necessarily out of choice; she just ends up picking a lot due to being irreverent, easily offended and highly competitive. If she’s given a good reason to hate someone, she will hold a grudge over it for a long time, and is far too stubborn to try and reconcile. She isn’t incapable of making friends and being friendly, but she’s easily provoked and difficult to approach. Anyone attempting to make friends with her will need the patience of a saint, if they even think it’s worth the trouble.

While she may not seem like it, she is a true believer in the cause of the Knights of the Iron Rose. If you strip away several layers of caustic cynicism, you’ll find a person that sincerely wants to help the weak and do right by others. Her desire to help is usually expressed in the manner of a Reonite; that she wants to smite evildoers with all the might in her arms. She would only rarely admit to having a more personal motivation to actually help people.

Brief Backstory: Katrina comes from a poor background in one of Thaln’s major cities. She grew up in a large slum where crime and poverty were rife. As a small girl, she often witnessed many scenes of criminals and the like preying on weaker citizens, shaking them down for all the crumbs they had on them. Her own family was no exception to this, and their home was robbed many times in her youth. It was here that her anger grew, along with her desire to do something about all this injustice. As she got older, she began to fight a lot, learning to fight practically rather than through instruction. She gathered a small reputation for her assaults on the criminals of the slums, and this was how she was noticed by a knight of the Iron Rose, who wanted to introduce her to their order. Having grown up hearing stories of the knights, she had always idolised them, and was all too eager to join.

Her entry into the order was met with a mixed reception. Few could doubt her ability, especially as she developed further with proper instruction. Her dedication was certainly not in question, as she was more than ready to take up the cause of the knights. But she did not fit in well with the more traditional, hierarchical elements of the order, and she had no love for its antiquated traditions. She conflicted heavily with the aristocratic recruits of the order that weren’t prepared to look past her background. While she could care less about the politics of succession, she certainly wishes for the order to flourish, and so she will be watching closely as to how the fresh command of the Knights of Iron Rose fares.

Equipment: Katrina’s armour is lighter than most knights, though still fashioned from iron plates. Her weapon of choice is a double sword that she acquired during her time as a knight.

Skills: Katrina is like a rushing bull in combat, attempting to use a mixture of speed and power to overwhelm her opponent at close quarters. Her training has geared her towards making use of her unique weapon almost exclusively. This also means she’s a bit inflexible in a fight.

I have completed my sheet. Hopefully nothing objectionable to be found.

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

Hi, I'm interested in joining in. One question; are we allowed to play multiple characters? Just wondering.

Bleach: Endless Abyss (Open)

I also require GM guidance in the form of a GM actually continuing the story mission my character is supposed to be on.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Believe me, I had no intention of sticking around once I saw that.

Fortunately, I only once posted on the interest check, so I figure they'll just forget I was ever there if I don't join now.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

So I just saw a GM accept a character sheet....with nothing on it.

Okay, there were SOME things on it. Namely, it had a name, an appearance, age and some other trivial details. However, what hadn't been filled out was the personality, the history, the combat abilities or anything else that was definitely relevant to the roleplay. Am I going nuts, or is that the stupidest thing ever? What's the point in accepting a character when not a single important section of their sheet is complete?

I can kind of understand letting someone post when their sheet isn't 100% complete (i.e. they haven't finished the history or something). I don't approve, but I could understand it. But this? This????

THIS!!?!?!?!?

EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong.

They don't actually have a name.

Bleach: Endless Abyss (Open)

Yuka Mogami

They met with the Kido Corp Commander, and boy was he lazy. Some thought of Yuka as lax, but this guy was sleeping on the job. Apparently, he also disagreed with the notion of sending them to Hueco Mundo. Yuka would have asked him to elaborate on that, but his assistant suddenly complained about some "regulated pathway". Yuka had no idea what difference there was in terms of pathways, but the fact that this Haru person seemed concerned was enough to make Yuka wonder if they weren't about to be shoved into something dangerous. Yuka really didn't feel like making something of it though, so she just watched as this odd scene played out. Eventually, Saito produced his gateway, and Yuka followed Kounura and Haru into it.

Once inside, they found themselves inside some bizarre reishi construct. Considering it was violently shaking and Haru didn't seem all that in control of it, Yuka wondered if this was why he was complaining earlier. Kounura seemed completely nonchalant given the circumstances. Yuka wasn't all that worried, but all this shaking was beginning to make her feel a little queasy. "We're not going to have to spend too long in this ruddy box are we?" She asked. The sooner they got on their own two feet, the better. Even if that meant they were going to be standing in the hostile world of Hueco Mundo. Yuka preferred to blow Hollows apart than to emptying the contents of her stomach in front of everyone else.

Yuka Mogami

"Lets." Yuka replied, before the two of them began on their way to the Kido corps. She was intrigued to hear that this lieutenant was apparently rivals with Majime, her former subordinate and friend. She could not remember if Majime had mentioned him before or not. In any case, she wondered if Majime would be there when they arrived. She wondered if this rivalry of his was strong enough to elicit an amusing reaction. Perhaps he would even be the one sending them all off? But then again, she couldn't imagine they would get Majime to perform such a simple task like opening the Senkaimon. She would have to see whether he would be there or not.

It did not take all too long for them to arrive at the Kido corps headquarters. Once there, Yuka spied someone standing outside the building, loitering around. She decided to take a chance and guess this was the man they were looking for. "Hey, are you lieutenant Osaka?" She began, approaching him. "Ready to get to work?" When she thought about it, they had been given little information about what they were doing. The orders were "go to the Forest of Menos and meet the recon team", and that was it. Hopefully the lieutenant didn't expect any explanations from her or Kounura.

Bleach: Endless Abyss (Open)

Yeah, sorry buddy, but the 5th squad lieutenancy got given away to someone else.

And yes, I know it doesn't say on the roster, but there's a lot of spaces on the roster that need to be updated.

Bleach: Endless Abyss (Open)

Yuka Mogami

Yuka had spent today's meeting somewhat wrapped up in her own thoughts. Her chief distraction was the ongoing conflict among the noble houses over the controversial proposal to change certain laws regarding Hollows and Rukongai citizens. No matter how it was dressed up in pretty rhetoric, Yuka and the rest of the Mogami family were incensed to hear that other nobles were lobbying to treat other Souls so callously. The Mogami had naturally waded in on the side of the opposition to such changes, and were often among the more vocal opponents. While Yuka would have it no other way, it still made her worry; such conflicts could easily evolve into a broader political fight between factions. A house divided could not stand, and with the increase in Hollow activity, the Seireitei could ill afford such internal weakness. Try as she might, Yuka could not think of any way the conflict could be de-escalated.

Her concerns would have to wait, since it seemed she was to be sent out on assignment to Hueco Mundo. Being paired with Kounura was fair enough, but she had to wonder why they were being slapped with someone else's lieutenant. She would have expected either Karma, her own lieutenant, or perhaps Kounura's lieutenant, Kyogen. Either one would surely be better prepared to work with their superior, though Yuka was quite glad not to have Kyogen Akechi to deal with. Yuka could tolerate a great many weird and annoying personalities, but she couldn't stand someone as malevolent as Kyogen. But she wasn't the type to complain about such small concerns. She would be content in the knowledge Karma would be on hand to keep her division running in her absence at least.

Yuka witnessed Airi's request to the Captain Commander. Two things went wrong here; first, it seemed she had raised the Commander's ire a touch, and she ended up freeing Kyogen from her own mission. Only shortly after Kounura had approached her, he ended up asking them directly if they had anything to say. "Ah, no sir, nothing on my end. I believe the two of us will be getting to work post-haste. Farewell, sir..." Kounura had already said she was eager to go, so Yuka assumed there would be no problem in hurrying the two of them out of the room. She didn't want to risk ticking off the Commander any more than he already seemed to be, and she didn't want to risk having Kyogen assigned to their mission. "So, Yōki; any idea where we can find this lieutenant Osaka?" Yuka knew nothing of this other lieutenant, so she could only hope either Yōki knew him or that he would find the two of them on his own.
