Fae Coutris: Hidden Intentions, Iraticate Dances (IC) (Still Accepting)

Okay, this all sounds mighty detailed with a ton of work poured into the concept. But what I am most interested in is this, what would be the chances of a golem of stone, a sentient lord of boulders, a groovy man of gravel, a courtier of crag, a mastermind of minerals, an overlord of ore, a persistent purveyor of pebbles, a freaking rock guy. I think you get the picture.

I'm around.

One Piece: Rotten Marauders and Sterling Sailors

"Och, what a lot of trash."

A rather large gruff looking man in marine uniform spouts as he downs the thick and unappealing substance that they call food around here. Sitting just across the way from a junior officer, both in stature and rank. Scratching at his beard in some sort of quizzical notion he speaks again, this time more directed towards the young one unknowingly sitting with him, "I can tell ya feel the same lad, 'ahmean who actually enjoys this drool? Naw us men need real food, meats and strong drinks. Whadya say?" At this point the man was speaking quite boisterously, but that's simply how he gets very often, in all honesty he was wasting time without having to worry about appearing before a gaggle of marines. Hell, he hardly even knew what his mission was going to be, let alone how he would present it. Sometimes this life can be stressful.

Commander Ferghus had it in his mind that he'd use the bit of time that he had to scout out the general populace of this base without alerting to them of his status, as he was newer than most around these parts. But in actuality it was something more akin to enjoying the company of the less disciplined officers. After all, he wasn't as keen on locking up pirates for petty crimes like most of the big wigs, but it isn't his place to say what needs to be done after all.

His general impression of the place was something along the lines of, "This sure is a 'sty" and that was just the way he liked it, perhaps such lax nature was due to his pirate upbringing or maybe he just didn't like the cut of the higher-ups gib. Whatever the case, Ferghus enjoyed the position he held and believes it to be a proud honor, and isn't too keen on rising through the ranks too quickly if it removes that simple feel of gallantry.

@Unraveller
I know Arlian’s can be big and your major selling point I suppose is playing an “over-sized cockroach”, but how necessary is it to make him over seven feet? This is not a demand but rather a question since I feel curious about his size. As for the second point of discussion with your character: in this continuity, Vegeta and Nappa did not travel to Earth so considering (if my memory is correct) that their planet was only visited as a pit stop on the duo’s travel to the planet, would it not be still existent at this point in time?

@Gowi

Well for starters there is absolutely no necessity in having be large. And honestly I hadn't even considered 7 feet to be all THAT large. And yes, my whole thing was imagining this 'gentle giant' of a cockroach, with that said, I can easily modify it to anything you'd prefer.

As for the second part, I had it in my mind (And I'm not sure how accurate it is) that Vegeta and Nappa had stopped on Arlia because they were supposed to scout the planet and such for trade, which they deemed it not fit for. It was either that or they simply went there because they were bored, probably the later. Again, that is a pretty easy thing to change as it isn't so integral to Atlas's story.

Any other outstanding issues with the backstory, or perhaps techniques?

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

Well that's a relief, don't know if I could handle having to scroll through so much just to get to the next post.

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

What a crispy nugget of shit that has landed upon the IC. I take it there is no way to remove posts?

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

With everything as it is now, I don't believe there really is a good division of different positions, I could be wrong. Honestly, I'm not all that sure what role Atlas would fulfill at this point.

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

Even I don't know how many characters I'm accepting!

@Gowi

Personally, I've never been one for large groups. With that said, if this turns out to be a more mission based kinda deal, with different teams and such, it can certainly work.

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

And we don't even know who's going to be accepted, THE SUSPENSE!

Dragon Ball: Leviathan

Alrighty, please let me know what you think! And on a different note, this is the first time I decided to draw a RP character, was tons of fun!

Atlas!

Atlas

Age
Adult, though compared to many other species it isn't all that old.

Species
Arlian

Attribute
Living Tank, Pillar of Morality. Atlas is there to essentially take a beating and act as a distraction for his allies to work around or escape. And thanks to his near-pacifism and upstanding moral code, he helps keep everyone in the line of justice! Perhaps he could take a command role, so as to guide his 'clutch'

Personality & Appearance
Atlas is a rather large and buff, as far as humanoid insects can become muscular, Arlian. Standing at about 7'6" this mountain of physical might may just also be the most tranquil soul on the force. While most simply see the creature as a dumb over-sized cockroach, Atlas is a gentle giant. With a deep respect for all life, no matter how decrepit or vile, he has dedicated his life to peace. A warm smile (?) and a warmer heart can always be found resting in the insectoid.

Many people have said that all Arlians appear exactly the same, this is not all that inaccurate, after all, their genetic diversity is not all that great. One female Arlian is chosen to be queen and must only mate with a king, the birth of any other larva during this period is immediately vanquished for treason. With that said, there are those who evade capture and eventually there are families with noticeable difference from the majority.

Due to such, Atlas's features are far more angular than many other Arlians, as well as the colour of his exoskeleton differs from the numerous pale blues and purples in its crimson red. Atlas also has a thorax that is far more spiny and cover's much more of his upper body in a protective manner. He will wear robes or other rags so as to facilitate the society that he has become ingrained in.

Weaponry & Equipment
N/A

Abilities & Techniques
- Arlian physiology
Due to his species Atlas's yummy insides are sheathed in a thick plate of armour known as an exoskeleton. Most Arlians also have a spiny shell like formation that extends around much of their backs that further protects them from harm as well as to deter attackers. Their physical abilities besides hardiness are of no particular note.

- Arlian Gladiatorial Martial Arts
Even as a larval young Atlas was taught to face his opponent backwards. This is the main stay for all Arlian gladiators, as one of their most powerful weapons is their natural spiny shell. While Atlas cannot directly see, his antennae aid tremendously in locating his opponent. The incredible toughness of the shell reduces physical trauma by a great deal is the main advantage of this style, while using powerful charging attacks in hopes to impale or maim a target is the secondary focus.

- Shell Spears
Atlas faces his spiny thorax at a target and directs the flow of ki towards the tips of his barbs. Energy begins to gather until eventually he decides to let it loose. Numerous lances of energy erupt from his shell, the amount of spears fired will depend on how long he gathers his ki for. These pointed spikes of energy can pierce incredibly tough hides.

- Ultimate Defense
Atlas's barbed thorax begins to grow until it fully encompasses his body, at which point not only does the unbridled hardiness of an Arlian shell protect him, but infusing it with his ki ensures that only the most powerful of attacks can break such a guard. Atlas may also propel himself with ki or by using his spines as traction can roll across most surfaces at a much quicker pace than his already glacial speed. Due to the drain from constant ki use, this technique will likely be a last resort.

- Tachyon Minefield
Atlas gathers his ki into a large spherical shape. After an amount of time has passed that he desires, the giant insect will split this energy ball into many much smaller parts. Afterwards littering them around an opponent or area. Once a source of energy nears the proximity of a mine they will attract and chase the target's ki until detonation upon contact.

Backstory
Upon the world of Arlia there is little time for mercy. The dynasty of tyrannical kings is expansive and unending. Thanks to the short life span of the aver Arlian, many throngs and facets of society are rushed and there is little care for other in such a harsh world. While the population upon the planet is vast, there are actually very few differing families. This is thanks to the policy that there can only be one birth mother, a queen. All other females that produce offspring during a queen's reign are immediately considered traitors and treacherous. Thus, many Arlians do not hold values of family or many bonds, their society is built around a sort of hive mind ideology.

However, there are those who resist, those who would seek the community and bonds of the individual. Such was the way for the parents of Atlas, part of an insurgent faction to tyrannical rule. As a young larva Atlas was thought their ways, the ideas that he was not part of some bigger machine, that he should have goals and ideas of his own. That one day he would live in a world where all beings are of their own kind, that all are unique and special.

Of course, life would throw Atlas a poor hand, the rebel group was swiftly eradicated through betrayal and subterfuge. And many a young Arlian were taken into the personal Colosseum of their 'true' king. Ironically, it was there that the moral philosophies of his parents were strengthened. Bonds were built between individual gladiator's as they strove to fight for a better tomorrow. But of course, they were still simple prisoners of no consequence.

The tyrant king would reveal a prize for the gladiator that could survive his gauntlet, freedom. Little did Atlas know that this had meant freedom from their entire planet. It was here that the crimson beetle began to hone his skills as well as his moral code. Never would he slay an opponent, for all things had deserved life, to see their dreams realized. And for Atlas, this was freedom to begin a life of peace.

Eventually the gentle giant had attained this freedom and was forcibly placed upon a ship in very poor condition. With random coordinates set the insectoid was flung off of his homeworld, never to see it again. The hive mind would always win in the end, yet perhaps, someday his race could be truly freed. Eventually his pod to nowhere was picked up by Interstellar Security Force, where he has been ever since.

Right, I hope everything is in order and that Atlas will become a permanent fixture of this RP!
