Hate that strange ennui that hits after 100%'ing a really, really good game. Good time was had, but man am I glad it can't mess my sleep schedule up anymore.

Final Fantasy: Stranger in Paradise is the funniest shit I've ever seen while also not being a bad game. Just crack open some cold ones with the boys, blare Limp Bizket, and Kill Chaos.
Lol I have like no other computer in this house to use and my phone barely handles google searches properly. I'm poor plus my car accident. I just got the money from it to do what I can. I apologize that I couldn't get in contact with you. IF only you had discord, then I could from my phone. But all I could do so far.
I see. I didn't make a discord for Rhapsody because literally only one person voted for it on the strawpoll, but I understand that part.
Regardless, I have already decided to follow through on rule 4 and remove Van from the rp. I appreciate the effort you put in, and hope that your other rps go well.
A young man of short stature at only 4'11", Joachim is often mistaken for being younger than he is, and his cheerfulness certainly doesn't dissuade many from thinking he's maybe only twelve. His caramel colored hair is perpetually a mess, would spill down past Kim's eyes if he were to not tuck some of it back. His skin is relatively pale, and his physique is nothing out of the ordinary for a boy his age.
Name: Joachim (Kim) Heikkinen
Nicknames: Brat, Kim
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Master of: Caster
Command Seal Location: Right forearm. Command Seals resemble a circle broken into two by a large, jagged shape. The semi circles have scattered shards that fleck off in thin strokes, as if it were debris flying away from a point of impact.
Origin: Congregate; "To bring together the dregs and the weak, and to dance amongst them."
Personality: A bright and cheerful person, Kim is one to see the brightest part of any situation...within reason, of course. His optimism is far from boundless, and in the cases of combat he is often lost in the chaos of it all. He is known to be a thoughtful person, often making observations about others in order to better his interactions with them. He is easily lost in observing things, and is thus able to become tunnel visioned, losing sight of the world around him in favor of what he's trying to understand. Coming from a family of mages specializing in the healing arts, he has never really been one to pick fights or revel in violence. Despite the rather snobbish nature of mages, he doesn't really view anybody in particular being above or beneath him, either just not seeing, or refusing to acknowledge the differences a prestigious bloodline makes in one's ability.
In regards to Caster...he is wary of her. Despite her kind words and actions to him, as well as her insistence on him not following her for fear of disturbing him with her magecraft, he can't help but feel that there is something sinister about the woman. He trusts her, as far as combat abilities go, but is reluctant to say that he greatly fears being alone with her. He is unlikely to use command seals to force her to do something, mostly due to Caster seeming to always have the best intentions in regards to her allies. He fears that at some point, he may be forced to use three seals to make Caster take her own life.
Biography: The unremarkable life of Kim was just that; Relatively unremarkable and plain, even for one knowledgeable of the secret world of magecraft and the Clock Tower. His entire family was spawned from a mix of magus and non-magus relations creating a new family, which, had started roughly 200 years ago. The fifth generation was the one Kim was brought into, as the second child of four. Like all relatively new magus families, his was rarely respected, treated as nothing more than third rate healers that are barely more efficient than normal doctors. High expectations were placed on him and his siblings, including expensive and intensive tutoring sessions from professors of magecraft.
Kim was shielded somewhat due to being only the second child, but the training was arduous nonetheless. His oldest sister even at one point considered running away from home, an action quickly dissuaded by her realizing that if she left, all expectations would fall to Kim, along with the primary lessons. Knowing the sacrifices his sister made, Kim would comfort her in her short periods of free time, as would his younger siblings. Their father wasn't cruel to them, but showed a callous hatred of most people, especially the upper crust of the Clock Tower that had basically written off the entire family as a magical dead end. His actions would grow more and more ridiculous, as would his lessons, reaching the point that he was actively injuring the servants of their household, dragging them into sound proofed rooms for his children to practice their healing upon.
After long years of training, at the age of 21, his sister developed her own magecraft through their healing techniques. It was a breakthrough that Kim so far has been completely unable to replicate, a spell the likes of which seemed capable of resurrection of a recently deceased individual. The family's lesson plans became significantly less strict, and, with something new created, his father felt that they could finally gain prestige, and grow their family into one capable of being recognized by the Clock Tower. Through the grape vine, Kim's family became aware of the Grey Family's servant summonings, and, at the insistence of his father and with a number of strings pulled, the unsuccessful second born son was flown off to London, the tip of a sword carried in a box, a priceless artifact that weighed nothing compared to the fear welling inside him. If he were to survive and win...then what else could he wish for, but to live a normal life rather than the one offered to him?
Magecraft Section:
School of Magecraft: Healing
Skills/Spells List: (Please include how many times you can cast specific spells)
Object Flow: Brew (6 Times): Skilled in the crafting of basic potions and poisons, Kim is more than capable of brewing up several, each taking up the course of roughly an hour to produce. A single usage of Brew makes enough Healing Potion/Poison to be effective for 2 people. His healing potions are similar in terms of power to his Suture spell,
Object Flow: Repairing Touch (3 Times): A healing spell that channels Od from the user into an inanimate object that is damaged in some way shape or form. After a few moments, the materials of the object become replaced with exact replicas, at least in terms of form and stability. Mechanically complex things cannot be repaired to functioning capacity by this spell alone.
Outward Flow: Tourniquet (2 Times): A simple, but effective healing method that forces the target's wounds to cease bleeding, even internally. While this does indeed cause blood to clot right away, it shouldn't be mistaken as having "fixed" anything. Further treatment would be required in order to fully heal a person. The spell loses its effectiveness after 30 minutes of taking effect.
Inward Flow: Inhalation (2 Times): A reversal of an opponent's Cursecraft that is a signature spell of the Heikkiken magus family. Rather than purging foreign Od, Kim is capable of integrating it into his own supply and immediately use it for the purpose of repairing his body. Naturally, incredibly advanced Cursecraft is capable of bypassing it, but would still be greatly weakened should Kim activate this spell.
Outward Flow: Suture (5 Times): An influx of Od intended to force the healing processes of one's own body to accelerate beyond what is normally possible, repairing bones in hours and completely restoring destroyed tissue over the course of minutes. In a strange way, this spell is almost like a curse due to the nature of application.
Inward Flow: Carapace (3 Times): By condensing Od around his skin, Kim is capable of hardening his body to an extreme degree, capable of completely shrugging off most forms of normal physical damage for periods of roughly 10 minutes at a time. This does not make him invincible however, as a strong enough shock would cause damage to him internally. A bootleg form of Reinforcement of one's own body, this is a crude spell that would only really be effective against normal humans.
Outward Flow: Reconstitution (1 Time): A difficult spell causes a lost body part to be restored (albeit rather painfully) by stimulating the recipient's Magical Circuits to heal it back into place.
Amount of Magecraft Mana: C+
Quality of Magic Circuits: C
Other: Has a love of fried foods, and has a habit of keeping paper menus from restaurants that he's visited and enjoyed.
Aaaand here's my master. If anything is in need of fixing, lemme know.
Also going to spruce up Caster's sheet, and maybe add a second noble phantasm to submit for approval.
Ummmmmm Hi. I just got a new laptop. So uhhh….ya know.
Look man, I get that life happens, but I sincerely doubt that you had absolutely no way of getting into contact with anything with an internet connection in the span of the rough month that you've been away. Rules are rules, and I had to remove Van from the story.
Not trying to be a dick, but I made it a rule for a reason to tell me in some way if shit happens, or will happen. If it was Florence then I understand, but otherwise it feels like you just kind of didn't care enough to tell me anything.
Ill try to reply soon too. Waiting on Irish but I think they're busy
Was also waiting on Restalaan, since they said they'd post friday since work was hectic for them. Felt like Yang should get a chance to talk to Ozzy too before the scene progresses, since Magnus will pretty much immediately try and talk to Talia when he sees that she's back.
This week is going to be hectic for me, so I'm just going to say that for now, at least until Sunday, you guys are free to converse in posts as you will without waiting for me. Sorry for the constant inconveniences.
Just as progress was being made, Noboru nearly jumped out of his seat as the door slammed open, and a familiar looking man collapsed onto the wood. Unaware of what was going on, Noboru just watched the stone encroach upon the man's body until he was entirely swallowed by it, frozen in shock as he slowly recognized him. That was...Kuremi's Grandpa, wasn't it? This was terrible...was he somehow dipped in tar or something? No, that was just the attempts to rationalize the impossible going on. As far as he knew, no disease that made someone turn to stone existed.
Turning to Kuremi, he bit his lower lip, knowing he had to do something...anything. Before he could say anything though, Maggie suddenly bolted. Reaching out to try and stop her, Noboru called: "H-Hey wait, what's wrong? We should call an ambulance-" he said before he saw a hail of arrows pass by the door after Maggie. He had no idea if she was okay or not for a moment, and in the next few seconds he would see a stone soldier rush to the door he was at. Letting out a surprised yell, Noboru fell back and crawled towards the desks, grabbing one by the leg and regaining his footing before charging the stone soldier...now soldiers blocking the door and breaking the door apart. As the door broke, Noboru jammed the desk into the open doorway.
Feeling that he'd slowed them for a moment, Noboru quickly found himself incorrect as the soldier simply grabbed the desk and crumpled it in their hand like it was nothing. Shakily stepping back as that line of pitiful defense was broken through, Noboru finally got a good look at the stone soldier advancing towards him. As it raised its sword, Noboru was frozen in fearful shock, asking out loud: "M-Mom...?" before the blade came down.
Seconds turned to minutes in Noboru's mind, as he felt tears begin to trickle down his face. "Not Mom...please no, I can't...T-This is all a bad dream. This is just a nightmare. Don't make me...D-Don't make her..." he thought, mind on the verge of breaking. "Then, don't fight. Just defend," a voice whispered to his mind. Then, suddenly, his thoughts cleared, and in one swift motion, his hand met the stone set to drive into his chest. As if he were a master of it, he caught her sword deftly between the palms of his hands, a faint shimmer visible to him, as if something was guiding his hands.
"OPEN YOUR EYES! MOM, ITS ME!" he said, forced to sit up with one knee as he pushed back against the stone soldier resembling his mother. Shoving her back, Noboru looked to Aoi, Kuremi, and Rebecca, and shouted: "FIND A WAY OUT! JUMP OUT THE WINDOW IF YOU HAVE TO!" before another strike, this one aimed at his side, was blocked by a chair that he picked up. More soldiers were pouring in, and, worst of all, he doubted Kuremi would be in any state to move after seeing her grandfather like that...and thinking of how he was going to attack them like this if he got up.
Alot of folks made such friendly characters >u<, despite ridiculous power levels.
Goes to show you just because you can blow up the world doesn't mean you have to.
I appreciate how fluffy this rp has been, and that is has mostly stayed that way. Everybody here is a cool person, and I dig how pleasant you all are to rp with.
Also Magnus is literally the embodiment of that, being the worst berserker of all time by being too nice.
Was still thinking of what direction i want to take them. Might go for a really young master, early teens maybe, since everyone is probably going for full grown adults.
Feels kinda redundant to have a high tier mage paired with caster, y'know?
For the sake of the cast, I'll ask here, instead of DM'ing you: what's the back and forth limit, if there is one? Like, how many times can people post back and forth to play out a scene without prompting a GM post?
