Shadow Contract: A Demon-Slaying Action RP

After the shuffling noise, and the sound of something falling from a shelf, the sports goods store was just as eerily still as the rest of the shopping center. Nothing moved or made the slightest sound. While there was blood out in the main area, there wasn't a single sign of anything of the sort within the store.

Here and there, there were items that had fallen, possibly knocked down during the evacuation effort. By this point, it was impossible to tell if anything had been knocked down recently, so there was no way of knowing where the sound had come from in the first place.

To put it simply, it was impossible to figure out just what had caused the sound.

But it wasn't as if a Beast-class demon was a bad guess.

As they neared the rear of the shop, however-

A figured blurred from around the corner, arms raised, poised to attack. It let out a loud sound, not unlike the war cry-

-of a young girl?

A baseball bat over her head, the girl looked to be no older then roughly nine, wearing a stroped tanktop and denim shorts with orange, striped thigh-high socks.

She paused, the bat still raised over her head.

"... W-wait," she started, "You're not demons?"

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

Dossier: Redknight

• Name: Valika Mannesson
• Callsign: Redknight
• Age: 20
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "If your AUG ran as hot as MORDRED does, you'd dress like this too. Quit staring, unless you really are enamored with my good looks!" Valika is a short, slender girl, at around barely 5'0/152 cm.
• Personality: Valika is a confident, exuberant girl who seems to provide a contrast to some of the more dour mercenaries operating for EINHERJAR. She is deeply confident in her piloting skills and in the construction of her custom AUG, MORDRED. She is prone to pulling especially audacious moves in combat, to the extent that some question if she has any concern for her own wellbeing. Indeed, at times she adopts tactics that would seem unnecessarily hazardous. She is prone to boasting of her piloting skills and of MORDRED's capabilities, even labeling it with the affectionate nickname 'Momo'. She seemes to take some pleasure in teasing others, as well, projecting a somewhat unexpected attitude for a mercenary AUG pilot.
  
  But, this is only one side of her personality.
  
  Beneath her cheery, confident, and sometimes teasing demeanor is a girl with a great deal of resent towards both sides of the Universal War. Towards the LTS, for destroying the colony she once called home, and the UEC, for abandoning her new home to the neutral zone. Between the two, her resentment for the LTS is far stronger. In truth, MORDRED is, despite its cutesy nickname, a tool she created for the purposes of revenge. One day Valika wants to see the Lemnosian Knight who lead the destruction of the Argyre colony and crush them just like they crushed the lives of so many innocent people. While it is not as if her typical attitude is a facade, it is more apt to describe it as a way of burying her far more negative feelings as deeply as possible. But it is impossible to hide the fact she jumps at the chance to attack Lemnosian forces in the neutral zone, nor is she capable of preventing deep-rooted mistrust towards people of Lemnosian origin. At the same time, she isn't fond of UEC military, especially those in high-level positions, viewing them as the sort of people who were fine with abandoning Bifrost in the neutral zone.
• Skills:
  • Technical Knowledge: While not an engineer precisely, Valika has plenty of understanding of her AUG's inner workings, having participated in swapping out major components of its structure and even some of its construction.
  • Theft: Valika learned how to subtly pocket things early in life, and this eventually grew to the point where she even stole the AUG that would become MORDRED in an audacious theft from Lemnosian forces. Naturally, she didn't do it alone, but she directly hijacked the AUG herself.
  • AUG Piloting Skills: Initially largely self-taught with old loaders and MAs. It was only with the theft of the AUG that became MORDRED that she began to really learn how to pilot an AUG, but she swiftly took to it alongside her rapid customization of the armor, her prior experience in less advanced machines aiding in her understanding of its control systems.
  • Combat: Not particularly impressive, but she's a relatively good shot with a handgun and knows the most sensitive places to kick.
• Brief History: The daughter of a couple of Argyre colonists, whose early days were largely peaceful even after the war began. Argyre was previously thought to be a low-priority target without much cause for attack. Even if an LTS force did arrive, it was assumed it would be small and thus the planet's defenses were relatively light. The last thing anyone expected was an attack lead by one of the Lemnosian knights.
  
  That was exactly what happened.
  
  Declaring the colony of Argyre a target for special eradication, a Lemnosian Knight in a brilliant white AUG lead a particularly intense and violent strike on the colony. The purpose was explicitly for the destruction of the colony and all who resided in it, with the reasoning for such an action never made clear even to many of those who participated in the attack. During the attack, the then six-year-old Valika was taken by her family in an attempt to flee the world.
  
  She last saw them when she was being shoved into vessel bound to leave the planet, in the hands of a family friend.
  
  Her Mother, Father, and elder brother would die on Argyre.
  
  The family friend, a man by the name of Regulan Filber that she knew as Uncle Reggy, eventually brought her to Bifrost and did his best to care for her. Unfortunately, only two years later, Bifrost became the location of the final battle of the Universal War. During the clash, Regulan piloted a MA and was severely injured, no longer able to properly act as the young girl's caretaker. And when the neutral zone was created, Bifrost was seen as being left to wither and die along with much of its infrastructure being destroyed.
  
  It was with a crippled caretaker in a broken world that Valika grew up. It's no surprise she developed a resentment for the UEC, on top of her already-strong hatred for the LTS. It's no surprise that she taught herself things like how to steal, when she had to ensure both herself and Regulan made it through each day.
  
  Even a conditions improved, her resentment simmered. Even as efforts for serious relief began to make changes and finally begin Bifrost's reconstruction, the now-teenaged Valika wanted to find some way to express her feelings.
  
  But instead, she spent much of this time working with basic loader MAs, though she spent some time practicing in their piloting as much as she was able.
  
  Her adoptive uncle passed away five years ago, and it it was perhaps this which prompted the audacious action that followed.
  
  Disguised as low-ranking mercenary agents after hijacking a vessel from the local port, Valika and several of her friends and acquaintances had become aware of a low-level Lemnosian AUG squad that had been operating in the neutral zone. It was deception, hubris, and no small amount of sheer luck that earned them a meeting with the squad under the pretense that they were mercenaries. It was this plan that lead to Valika's ultimate goal: The theft of a Lemnosian AUG.
  
  Disrupting their ship's control systems and fleeing with the AUG in tow, Valika had obtained her prize at the expense of the people she hated most. While plenty of the other stolen items were sold off, she kept the AUG and began practicing with it. It was a different experience from the loader MAs she was used to, but she was able to steadily get the hang of it by building on her previous experiences.
  
  After participating in some low-level work for EINHERJAR, she began to tinker with her AUG's construction, having it repainted red and adding further armaments to it.
  
  Her new goal was still far ahead.
  
  No matter how she hides her dark side, after all, the one person Valika hates most is the Lemnosian Knight who lead the strike on Argyre. Even now, beneath it all, she wants to be the one responsible for their death.

Augmented Armor:

• AUG Name: MORDRED
• AUG Appearance: Greatly altered from its original appearance as a baseline LTS AUG, though overall proportions remain. Its name, and Valika's callsign, are both done in spite towards the Lemnosian Knights.
• Armaments:
  • LUNALIGHT Beam Saber: A UEC-model melee energy weapon, possessed of a pale blue coloration. The LUNALIGHT Beam Saber is designed to combat other AUGs, with a thin, intense blade designed to sear through armor and deliver critical damage to main systems. Due to the modifications done to the MORDRED, the output can be sent into an overcharge mode for additional cutting ability at the cost of rapid energy consumption.
  • LA5678 Beam Rifle: A mid-range beam rifle equipped with two firing modes, one for semi-automatic fire and the other for a charged shot capable of punching through sturdier armor. Capable of benefitting from MORDRED's overcharge system, with similar drawbacks as the Beam Saber.
  • Type-104 Tankbuster: A close-range kinetic weapon resembling a squat, bulky shotgun. An armor-shredder designed to be fired at point blank range for maximum damage.
  • Z-95 Micromissile Array: A missile launcher that releases a cluster of small, homing missiles on each launch, attached to the right rack on MORDRED's back. It is useful at most ranges, though its low yield means the missiles are unlikely to take down more armored opponents on their own.
• Specifications: While it has a roughly conventional silhouette from the outside, the internal components of MORDRED have been altered considerably. This is primarily to make way for further weaponry, in order to allow better support and overcharging capabilities for energy weapons as well as more ammunition storage for kinetic weapons. This involved sacrificing some of the AUG's heat dampeners, causing the armor to run quite a bit hotter then the average model. While not to hazardous levels, Valika does dress very lightly while in the cockpit to avoid overheating. All in all, MORDRED is a mid-weight AUG primarily focused on a variety of offensive options.

@DarkRecon: I think so, but I would be able to answer that question more easily if everyone who's been accepted put their bios in the characters tab. ^^;

@The World: That's okay, the earliest I'm planning on starting is probably next week.

@Silverwind Blade: okay sorry for the delay, I think this is acceptable now.

The Maids Guide to Demon Hunting

At least the kid was alright.

Not that it mattered to her, really, it was more simply to spite the demon possessing the woman that she hadn't actually achieved anything. Then again, maybe she was fully aware of that fact...

Dripping with gore, Elizstrazia scowled.

"I'll tear that thing apart," the scale demon half-snarled.

Before she could press onward in hopes of pursuing the possessed woman, however, a blessed weapon was abruptly careening through the air towards her.

A blessed weapon---!

Anger.

White hot fury raged through the girl's heart at the mere sight of the thing.

It wasn't as if she recognized it. It wasn't as if she knew the wielder.

Rather, it was rage at the thought of what it stood for.

The halberd bit through empty air, as Elizstrazia hurled herself backwards through the air, her clawed feet grinding rents into the tile below, her lowered position dragging her nails through it as well.

Before she could lurch forward and retaliate, it seemed as if Katherine stepped in to try and angrily put at stop to the attack with words rather than violence.

The petite white-haired girl glared in the direction of her attacker, her crimson eyes burning as she slowly straightened.

"She's right, you know," she commented, cocking her head to one side, "We're not here to work with that idiot. But hey, if you want to scrap, that's fine by me!"

She leaned forward, her grin coming across more like baring her teeth, the sharp points glinting in her mouth.

Tearing apart someone who represented those bastards at the Church was hardly a negative in her eyes.

@LongSwordMain: There hasn't been any domestication of any extraterrestrial lifeforms.

@The World: I'd try and make things a little more concise just because it was a lot and extensive technical specs in the context of an RP bio can be a bit overwhelming, but my main points of advice are just to try and change up the main weapon and its appearance enough to not basically just be the Guren. Maybe something plasma-based could fill a similar role?

@Kero: I won't say no to esper powers, but I'll be scrutinizing any bio with them pretty heavily.

As for using an AC6 build, that's fine.

@Silverwind Blade: It's just how obvious it was with being literally branded Gundam, I'll take a look at the altered bio in a bit.

Pokemon: Dream

"Uwaaah..."

This was... a lot.

It wasn't as if the girl was entirely unfamiliar with being in public places. Much of her life had been spent in and out of the hospital, after all. But this was a particular dense and bustling sort of crowd, and it had only been her first time ever getting on a plane in the first place.

In some ways, it actually made her happy. At one time, she thought it was something she'd never live to experience. The sensation of lifting off, of moving through the sky, and now arriving at the airport, it was something entirely different from any of her prior experiences.

However-

That didn't mean it wasn't kind of overwhelming. Certainly, crowds weren't entirely unfamiliar to her, but the petite, white-haired girl found herself practically drowning in people.

She couldn't see around them very well, and it was so loud and bustling it felt like she might be swept far away in the tide.

Needless to say, Sophie was not exactly used to this kind of experience.

But she had to persevere! This was her opportunity not just to see the world around her without any training wheels on, but to grasp at the kind of things she had always dreamed about!

If she couldn't make it through the crowd, then she couldn't make it even further beyond!

But practically everyone here was taller than her and that made it incredibly difficult to see that beyond.

"E-er, excuse me... Ah! Pardon me, um, I need to get through? Please...!"

It was perhaps something of a miracle that lead to her finding a somewhat viable path through the bustling crowd.

Less miraculous was how she caught herself up on her own feet as she was just about to escape.

"Kyaaaaaa?!"

The world accelerated around her quite abruptly, as Sophie found the floor rushing up to meet her.

"Ooof!"

At least it hadn't been a particularly hard fall, and she wasn't feeling unwell at the time. But she still felt the air knocked out of her, and the slight jolt of impact through her chest and stomach rattling her small frame.

It took a few moments for her to start picking herself up, and it was at that moment that she finally saw the sign just ahead of her.

"Ah! That must be them!"

Augmented Machine Mobile Armor: A Gundam and Armored Core-inspired Mecha RP

@The World: Okay, I'm going to admit I'm a liiiittle bit overwhelmed by the mecha specs, it's just a lot. ^^; I think my main issue at the moment is that it's too blatantly the Guren from Code Geass, and while I'm not going to be a stickler for not using canon inspiration/images for mecha this one just feels a bit too obvious in both appearance and weaponry.

@OwO: Accepted.

@Silverwind Blade: Okay, the two main things that stick out to me immediately are the fact the tech company is directly from UC Gundam you should change the name, and similarly to the first bio on this list it's the mecha waaay too obviously from a pre-existing property. At least scrubbing the big Gundam logo off and changing the color would go a long way.
