Shadow Contract: An Urban Fantasy Action RP

@Aku the Samurai: Hm.

I still don't think this Contract Ability screams Orochi, and it kind of blocks out anyone else who might want to go for an elemental focus.

I think you should lean into the snake elements more and set up a different contract from the outset. There's other serpents or potential ideas for serpents(an OC snake god could still be pretty serious business) you could go for.

@RoadkilBanana: You should probably look up some actual Japanese names before naming characters.

While I did kind of hope to see this sort of contract thematically, I feel like your power is way too weak for B. B's not particularly weak, it's the higher end of average.

@King Cosmos: Lighting fires on eye contact is a bit too much, since it's a pretty potent ability that'll immediately handle most threats. I'd say try and figure out a different effect or find ways to make it a little more restrained so it's not an inescapable autohit.

@Rune_Alchemist: Accepted.

@Raineh Daze: Accepted. While I don't want everyone taking these kinds of contracts, the steep limitations make it balanced out and they're not unheard of even if they happen infrequently.

@RoadkilBanana: Declined, this is very flat and doesn't really elaborate on the abilities well enough at all. I don't get a sense of the potency of the fire manipulation or why it would be B-rank.

@Aku the Samurai: As noted by my decision to lower the ceiling for player characters, declined. I also don't think his abilities connect well to Orochi's mythology, being a bit more generically snakey. I feel like conceptually he might be served a bit better starting at a lower rank and working his way up.

@Half Pint: I know it wasn't directly mentioned in the OP, but by this point other countries do have their own contract academies even if the practice likely originated in Japan. You'd be better off going with someone who lived in Japan before making a contract, but originally came from elsewhere or is half-Japanese.

Okay, want to apologize for any inconvenience this might cause but I think I'm going to need to adjust the OP a bit to better reflect my intentions for RP powerscale and contract rankings.

The big thing though is we're now going to have no player s-ranks.

@BOOM: Okay boy where to start here...

To begin with, I'll point out I'm not a particularly big fan of using RL images for anime-based RPs. It comes off as jarring and incongruous at best. To top it off, the image is pretty much unrelated to the description you give later on which makes it all the more confusing.

As for the rest...

It's sort of a mess? It doesn't really fall in line with how contracts are formed even unintentionally. When I mentioned unintentional contracts, I meant things like "my friend died but now their ghost follows me all the time because I wished they wouldn't go" or something like that, where you did make the contract but didn't realize it was a contract or something like that.

Just suddenly getting god powers from someone you had zero contact with before this point... not exactly. The backstory's also fairly incoherently and poorly-explained.

Additionally, with Ebisu being an actual member of the Seven Gods of Fortune, you've honestly failed to connect anything there to the actual mythological figure. I'm not asking for super adherence in how your abilities work but it should at least be recognizable to some degree.

Your contract, given the abilities given, is not at all A-rank. It's lacking in application and potency, and from an OOC perspective borders heavily on mind control which I'm not inclined to accept. It also doesn't really fall in line with her backstory either, how are people expected to consent to giving away lifespan over the internet when they don't even know that's a possibility?

Declined.

@BOOM: Please don't post non-accepted bios in the characters tab.

I didn't even have the opportunity to review your sheet, it doesn't belong there.

So it wasn't a clash with the leader of the enemy forces. Indeed, while she might have survived the airship crash, the explosives around her would likely at least give her a few moments of pause.

Instead, they'd be cutting their way out.

Robin wasn't entirely certain how to feel, but at the same time---

A hero helped people. A hero did what they could to ensure their allies escaped alive. And right now, the best course of action was to cut a path through the enemy as they rallied around their commander.

So, Robin would do everything she could to make that outcome become the truth.

"I won't let you down---!"

She was already moving.

A bullet shot past her, nearly striking her in the head. She could feel it whipping by, but she didn't stop.

She met the solider who fired and drove the tip of her sword through her through, twisting in the very same motion to shove his body to the side as quickly as possible and keep moving.

Her heart hammered.

She'd seen people die who shouldn't have died.

A hero would have to make sure that didn't happen any more.

"Damn it, I'll-"

She cut him off with a thrust of her blade. Swiftness. Efficiency. The speed and finesse to end her enemies before their allies could target her.

Bullets cleaved the space she once occupied. One pinged off of her sword as she flicked its blade through the air, deflecting it.

She'd move faster, then.

She didn't want to have to sacrifice a single movement that could stall their goal. That meant not even deflecting bullets could be permitted, because when she moved to deflect it took just that much more time for her to be ready to attack once again.

Robin caught her next target as he drew his sword, dodging beneath a hasty swing and burying her blade to the hilt in his armpit, in a gap between the plating.

Just as swiftly, it left him with a spurt of red, and she was moving once more.
