@DeadBeatWalking Sorry to hear that! I'm always up for superheroes, though, so hit me up if you create something along those lines.

Rica's FxF 18+ 1x1 Hunt Fandom and Original (Updated Consistently)

@Rica
I'm interested in roleplaying either Harvest Moon-esque, Jurassic World, or modern!Grease with you, all FxF preferred!
If you're still craving any of those, shoot me a PM! I'd love to hear more about any of those.

War of The Angelic Trio

@AimeChambers
He could be upset about being largely raised by servants, as well as the loss of his mother. Perhaps he believes that King Vincent could have done more to protect his mother, and even resent him for kicking her out in the first place. Also, it wouldn't be a surprise if the nobles, servants, and tutors commented on his heritage to him when the "pure" royal family wasn't around.

War of The Angelic Trio

If there's anything either of you would like to discuss regarding your reviews, feel free to either bring it up here in the OOC, or to shoot Draco and I a PM! Make sure that if you PM us, to do so in a singular PM. That way we can both respond to and see what's going on.

@AimeChambers
Alright! We really like the picture you've painted of Viktor, but there are a few discrepancies that need to be cleared up. King Vincent was a very kind and just man; he wouldn't have turned his back on his own flesh and blood like that. Though it's likely that he had Lady Melody leave his court, he would have taken Viktor in as his own and tried to raise him as though he had been born from the queen. Since Melody would no longer be a lady of the court, it does stand to reason that someone would have seen her as shameful to the kingdom and killed her. But as for Viktor being isolated and locked away, I don't think King Vincent would have done that. He would have tried to socialize him with his siblings, though the age gap would have made it difficult for sure.

Also, just for reference, the nobles and servants wouldn't speak ill of Viktor around the royal family, so any word of him being a shame to the family or a black sheep would have been spoken behind the family's back. It's unlikely that anyone outside of the castle would even know he was a bastard child - which leaves room for a lot of speculation on his heritage by the people of the kingdom. The only thing I ask you change about what's been said about him is being 'the devil's spawn' - that would generally imply a problem with the father, not the mother. Alternatives could be 'the son of a witch' or something to that effect, implying bad things about his mother.

@Tsar Gatto
Since we're reviewing three characters in one go, I'll try to separate the reviews clearly by putting them in hiders. ovo
(Also, you've reminded me that I only have Ichabod's more humanoid form for a picture - I suppose he just doesn't leave it often? I'll have to find a more demonic form for him.)

King Asmodeus

So, the first thing - Asomdeus is, as you've acknowledged, OP. Generally, our rule of thumb is this - a limit of two abilities, and they need to be related. For example, my necromancer, Ichabod, has longevity (his natural lifespan is longer than your average demon, due in part to his consumption of parts of souls) and necromancy (which is, of course, raising the dead, where he takes part of their soul and consumes it, while the rest of it is used to reanimate the body). I apologize that this was not made clear in the main post - we previously had this specified, and missed it when we were rewriting the roleplay for its reboot.

Ultimately, what we're suggesting for Asmodeus is this - the soul consumption is a fantastic demon ability, and it can be used in place of mana for his magic. However, his magic needs to be limited to a single type. For instance, Aislinn was a pyromancer, who when she cursed Lenore, passed on the creation of fire, but not manipulation. Another example is the demon who cursed Danielle passed on demon summoning, another type of magic. Ichabod, as well, has magic in his necromancy. There is also Hadrian, who manipulates light into solid constructs. Asomdeus needs a field to dominate, not a vast collection of sorcery. The only thing we won't accept is telepathy - it's not something we approve of being used on other players, so you'd be limited to using it on NPCs of your creation, which would severely limit your power usage. (And where's the fun in that?) Still, if you'd like to keep the telepathy, those are the limitations you'll need to keep in mind.

Something important in regards to his age is that Asmodeus is likely not the only one older than the kingdoms - we don't have the lore post up, so this wasn't made clear, and we're sorry about that. The world is stil new, so a lot of angels and demons are older than the kingdoms, and watched the humans form them. Of course, they didn't do it alone - there were both angelic and demonic messengers, who brought word of the archangels which the kingdoms were formed around. If you don't want to specify Asmodeus's "true" age - as I didn't for Ichabod or Picard, since they largely masquerade in their human forms - you can just list the age he appears. Ultimately, though, no one living on the physical plane of Eden is older than 1000. That's when their physical form dies, and they're returned to the spiritual plane.

The only other thing I'm going to mention is this. Again, without our lore post, this was unclear, and we're sorry about that. The kingdom of Lucifer has only been sealed away for nearly 300 years. The reason it's such a short period of time is that it was largely humans that sealed away the kingdom of Lucifer, so without much support from angels, they could only make the seal so strong. I trust that Asmodeus had a small, trusted court to guard his sleeping form, and that his disappearance from the throne is what gave way to the few previous rulers to his return. Otherwise, someone would have easily found his slumbering body and killed him in his sleep to assume full and unchallenged command of the throne. (Or, at least, unchallenged until someone felt powerful enough to take them on.)

Slarthanius

Slarthanius's ability is fantastic, but there's one issue - when a human is cursed, a portion of the ability is passed on. They would not become a servant to him, but instead most likely only be able to create infectious laughter in a single person. The idea that he can cause mass hysteria is interesting, so long as you keep the number of people he can "infect" at once reasonable. If you intend to have him use this ability on a player character, make sure to clear it with them first!

As for his blade, we're not accepting enchanted weapons. He can still possess a curved blade - perhaps one made of a metal that handles heat well, so he can stick it in a fire or something - but it cannot be enchanted to always be hot.

The edit of his ability only means this effect on his biography - he can still have gathered a small cult, but not by means of cursing them. Sure, he can have cursed several humans to encourage them (and even trick them) into following him and pledging their allegiance to him, and even recruit humans that have been cursed by other demons. Also, I wanted to make sure that Slarthanius has not mentioned the kingdom of Lucifer to anyone - there shouldn't be any word of it in the kingdoms, and anyone he may have tried to tell should/would have laughed it off. At this point, the kingdom nothing more than a bedtime story to tell children, whether it's to frighten them with demons, or to tell them a dashing story of heroes defeating demons. Since he's largely masquerading as a human, that would only increase the lack of credibility in any claims that the kingdom of Lucifer still thrives.

Last but not least, since he's masquerading as a human out and about in Eden, please include what age he appears! Also, if possible, mention in his biography what kingdom he claims to come from, since he can't claim to have come from Lucifer. I'm sure a traveling bard is bound to be asked that question at one point or another by border guards, so it would just be helpful to know in case you'd like his merry band of minstrels to have a reputation throughout the kingdoms.

Lady Visiloth

Unfortunately, we don't really have a place for nobles in the roleplay. You do mention her serving the monarchs, so she could perhaps be a member of the close court, though she'd be listed as a servant, like Picard is in Raphael. We'd recognize she's a lady of the court, but she'd be listed as a servant. Otherwise, if that doesn't suit you, she can be a bishop - bishops possess magic (which I would consider appearance morphing to fall under) and those in the Sheol Cathedral directly serve the reigning monarch(s). The only discrepancy I see is that as she's only 97, I doubt there would have been much changing of the monarchs in her time in Lucifer. Maybe three times at most - the third being Asmodeus re-assuming the throne. However, she most likely would have only been present to serve the previous king to Asmodeus's return.

With her ability, the curse should apply to both men and women in the same fashion. The fact that they are only gifted one appearance with the curse is not a problem, and though it may be unpleasant for men to transform into women, it shouldn't be a gender-specific curse. That's the only issue we have with that. Morphing her appearance is fascinating, and I like that it's restricted to humanoid forms.

As mentioned in Asmodeus's review, the kingdom has been sealed away for 300 years. Visiloth is only 97, so it's unlikely she knows what life outside of the underground kingdom is like. She can have her dreams and desires, but she'd be limited to knowledge from scriptures and word of mouth from older demons. Her restlessness is understandable, but I wanted to make that clear - she's most likely never seen the outside world. That's just for your reference, and not anything you need to add or change in your profile.

The last thing is that, as for Asmodeus and Slarthanius, it would be appreciated if you listed her appearing age alongside her "true" age.

War of The Angelic Trio

Sorry for the wait, everyone! Between real life responsibilities for Draco (and their focus on getting an IC post out) and my transferring to a new laptop (so many files, but I'm determined to do it myself), we haven't gotten around to reviewing your profiles. We'll be taking care of that ASAP today, so wait no more! Expect reviews shortly! ovo b

War of The Angelic Trio

@AimeChambers
Mmmmmm yes, more V names! An interesting naming scheme for the kingdom of Raphael - V and C names.

It would be really interesting if he had traveled to another country outside of the main three portrayed. (Draco has covered the other kingdoms, also named after archangels, so I won't touch upon those as well.) He could have gone abroad for a year, and maybe has only just made it back after hearing of the strife arising between Michael and Gabriel? Something could have piqued his interest and prompted him to return.

@MonsieurShade
Honestly, I love working IC mistakes into the story! It makes things really interesting; Draco and I have already done so in the roleplay as it is. (Check out Adeline and Auberon - that's where we did it!)

@lydyn
To be fair, my female character, Cordelia, is a lesbian. It hasn't really come up in the roleplay, but we're not very far in.
Just keep in mind that romance isn't the main focus of our roleplay, but it definitely comes up!

(@Dracogenius is right, I'd very much love to see another lesbian in the roleplay. :3c)

War of The Angelic Trio

@AimeChambers
I don't think they have boarding schools - he would be taught by tutors, probably at the very least up until he was sixteen. At that point he's an "adult" (can start doing things he chooses) and could have left to go abroad. If he's seventeen, he could have been away for a year, and is only just returning. Why he returned is, of course, up to you.

@Tsar Gatto
We'd love to have you! At the moment, we are in dire need of a king or queen (or both) for the kingdom of Lucifer. (Which really works out that you're interested in that kingdom.) If you want to take up multiple characters, they don't need to be in the same kingdom, either. But if you feel you could handle ruling a kingdom, taking up a monarch for Lucifer would be fantastic. Draco and I can fill you in on the basics of what's going on in the kingdom, too, and answer any questions you have about it.

One thing to keep in mind is that Lucifer monarchs rule by power, not by lineage. So they were strong enough to overthrow the previous monarch(s), and hold the throne against any challengers.

War of the Angelic Trio [recruit]

A temporary queen is going to be made, but the role can be taken by a new character at any time.

War of The Angelic Trio

@AimeChambers@Dracogenius
It really does depend on how old he is - Valentine and Cordelia are only a year apart and there's no room for someone between them, so he'd most likely be younger than them and born to perhaps a lady of the court or if King Vincent took a second wife. It's up to you, but that needs to be figured out. I don't mind seeing a prince in Raphael, though. Especially having a rebellious one would be interesting. (Alternatively, Gabriel doesn't have a prince or princess at all, so figuring out a mother wouldn't be a problem.)

War of The Angelic Trio

@MonsieurShade@Dracogenius@urukhai@Cubix

"It was of no trouble - King Valentine is not one to request a presence without a great importance behind it," Picard told Cain, a half-smile on his face. "As I must return myself, I'll walk with you."

Though he really would have rather not traveled with the cursed man, there were only so many ways to return to the castle, and the route that the bishop seemed to be taking was among the fastest. It was certainly one of the more direct, and as they were traveling on foot, that was definitely preferred. The last thing Picard - and apparently Cain as well - wanted was to keep King Valentine and Princess Cordelia waiting. King Valentine had been waiting for the last of the responses from the other monarchs when Picard had departed, and he hoped that he had received them in his absence. There would be enough waiting upon arriving at the Round Table, assuming all parties agreed to be present, given the speed of couriers and passenger pigeons.

As he walked, Picard couldn't help but feel a bit of nervous energy building inside of him in regards to the meeting. The people of Gabriel had already murdered two monarchs - who was to say they wouldn't assassinate more? By inviting King Caymdahr to meet with his own king, Valentine, as well as the new king and queen of Michael, he felt like a great risk was being taken. Could the man really be trusted? Though there was no word on whether he had personally ordered the assassination or not, the advisor felt that it was not worth the risk. King Valentine was a man of peace and good will, however, and could not be swayed from his decision, no matter how he try to change it.

---

It was of little surprise to Auberon that Hadrian declined the seat, though he was less familiar with Olifina to make any assumptions on her move. She sat, folding her hands in her lap, and looked very attentive. Whereas he knew his sister was nervous, the king on the other hand was just tense. He was neither nervous nor anxious, but he was upset that they would be meeting with King Caymdahr. Though he trusted the word of King Valentine - his kingdom was one of peace, after all - he had much less faith in a man who had done so little in the wake of his parents' deaths. In fact, were he to have it his way, he would form an alliance with King Valentine, but leave Gabriel out entirely, no matter how the other king would wish to involve all parties. It was the one problem he had with the other king, something he knew from his lessons that had been inherited from his father.

Rancor brought with him tea and cakes, something that Auberon knew would entice his sister, though he made no move to take anything on the tray for himself. Though he would perhaps have tea before they left for the Round Table, he had little interest in it at the moment. Like Hadrian, the servant declined seating, standing near the tea to pour a cup for any who asked for it. When he all but slapped himself in the face, Auberon could only lift an eyebrow, though he said nothing in regards to the man's embarrassing action. It wasn't productive to call out or ridicule him for it, never mind that it would be cruel to do so. His sister, on the other hand, seemed to find the action amusing. It didn't lessen the tension that showed in her shoulders, but it did widen her smile, and he couldn't help the small smile on his own face in response.

Predictably, his sister deviated to the tea and cake, the room waiting patiently as she quickly indulged herself, then brought herself back to her standing point behind her desk. She began with an unrelated question - perhaps a further sign of her nerves - and then dove into the issue at hand. Auberon's attention fell away from the door completely, having had it closed behind Rancor, and focused fully on Adeline. She spoke of the letter and the requested meeting, and he struggled not to correct her in referring to the kings by their surnames. Perhaps he had received different tutoring than her, but he had been raised his whole life preparing to take the throne - whether in his own kingdom or that of another through marriage - and struggled with her address of the kings. He, too, struggled with the idea of meeting with King Caymdahr, and felt comforted that his sister was no kinder in the idea. The only thing that she managed to surprise him with was her mention that Raphael would attack the kingdom - he disagreed, and was surprised by her lack of faith in the peaceful kingdom.

After she had finished speaking, Auberon prepared himself to speak, though it seemed she had one last thing to say. A question posed to those gathered - no, this would not do. He would take command now, and delegate duties. He would respect that Adeline wished for them to make the decision themselves, but given the skill sets of each person present, he did not dare consider them for anything other than the roles in his mind.

"If I may," Auberon began, standing to address the room, "I do not believe Raphael will be so cruel has Gabriel has been. Their kingdom thrives on peace, and from my discussions with King Valentine, their military is lacking. No, I believe the only threat posed here is Gabriel."

Giving that a moment to sink in, Auberon walked over to the tea tray on the corner of his sister's desk, taking a cup for himself and returning to the chair he had previously sat in. Again, he remained standing, and after taking a sip of tea himself, he addressed those gathered again. They each had their strengths, and this needed to be taken into consideration when placing them in jobs.

"My personal recommendation - and it is just that, a recommendation - is that Sir Hadrian and Rancor attend the meeting with myself and Queen Adeline, while Lady Olifina remains with Princess Serenity."

His reasoning was simple - Hadrian was more than capable of defending both himself and Adeline, but should something happen, he'd heard what Rancor's blood could do. As for Olifina, she was a lady-in-waiting, and it was only proper that in the queen's absence, she tend to the princess. He doubted his sister had thought that far ahead in her summons, though he hated to think so little of her. Their father had pampered her and Serenity, and in Auberon's mind, weakened them. As he had been taught, ruling was like a game of chess - each piece's abilities needed to be taken into careful consideration before a move was made. And sometimes, sacrifices had to be made.
