With all these lovely monster concepts now arising in this rp... [dragons and kaiju, awesome concepts] I wonder if I should make a monster lady.
The noble slime. >u<
Nah man, don't go that usual route. Gotta be insane. Like me. Take that path that everyone's like "The fuck? Why?? The other one literally has gold shoes for you, a gold cane, and more candy than a human could eat." And once you do, you use a monster from another series make that shit your own and work it like your its pimp!
@ZekariVoblis - In a sense. The timeline more or less begins at early man so gods that are present then will still be relatively young for the time being. There will always be opportunities for new gods to arrive later at specific instances.
All I needed to know. Been on a writing crave lately and making an Elder God sounds like a throat quencher.
A cough of blood was expected. The guy basically had his organs mashed together like some screwed up flesh accordion, with the bones being the framework of it. Anyon simply sat back down as she gave his upper arm a rub as some form of strange, but helpful comfort. That wolf must’ve caused far more damage than they even realized. She knew that the old bastard would live, it is Mirt after all, but the damage was still surprising considering he’s walked off from, in her opinion, way worse than some overgrown mutt. Her eyes gave a quick once over as she noticed how blood soaked his clothes were, all easily from being crushed for a few moments. It never gave her comfort seeing him like this…
"Did the strangers make it out better than I did?”
She let out a scoff. Why can’t he be more damn selfish for once? “They ran off the moment they got the chance, so probably fine.” She sighed and spoke softly. She made sure to look him in the eyes for this one. ”Worry about yourself, for fucks sake. Your wounds might be healed, but your ass needs to rest for a bit for it to take full effect.” With that, she gave a soft pat and rub on his shoulder. Normally this affection would be saved if she was particularly plastered, but it also happened to be the other occasion where she would do this. He was severely injured and worried about things that didn’t matter at the moment. And she wanted this rarity of an emotion to show that fact to him, clear as day. For the rest of the group, it was probably strange seeing this behemoth of a woman, with a voice as deep as a basin, suddenly speak with such gentleness.
I'm still making some last-minute reviews on your character. If I deem everything to be good, I'll write you in on the next update. If not, I'll let you know a.s.a.p.
Name: Alesandro Silva (Raisha “Nagi” Shanagi) Age: 26 Gender: Male Race: Human (Haunted By A Gashadokuro) Appearance:
He is 5’9’’ in height and, despite the picture, does not carry a sniper rifle. It’s only a regular rifle. He doesn’t got that sorta money. He also has a few scars on his back.
She is 5’1’’ and, like Alesandro, doesn’t have the gun posted. She does float around constantly if it’s any compensation.
The height can vary overall depending on how much power is put into the summon. Sometimes it can only be 15’’, other times it can be as large as 25’’.
Obviously not the same outfit and instead Alesandro’s outfit, but still fairly accurate.
Personality: Alesandro can be a rather serious man at times, but despite this, he is generally a very polite and reasonable guy. Morality for him, while definitely important, tends to be rather flexible and bendable depending on the circumstances. His attitude towards life is more “where the wind takes me” than anything and has a love for adventure and adrenaline. In fact, someone could even call him a tad bit of an adrenaline junkie, though not to insane levels. Boredom just isn’t something he particular likes is all. He has quite the “seen it all, cool with learning more” demeanor and actually is casual with interacting with the abnormal world around him.
Nagi, on the other hand, is one of the most playful ghosts a person could ever come across. Playing pranks on others, teasing people for a bit of comedy, and seeing how “x makes y do z” are some of her favorite pastimes. However, she isn’t a sadist and does understand that there’s limits to what she should do to others. That being said, the careful line between “prank” and “annoying” can be tricky for her at times. Ironically, despite her jokey personality, annoying her isn’t all that hard either if you know her buttons. She’s on to keep quite the grudge, however, and will only really drop it if the situation is too important for her to keep holding onto it. She’s also quite the history buff due to the souls within her.
Abilities: Alesandro, by himself, doesn’t exactly have a lot of magical prowess. While he does know a few spells and can cast average-level incantations, he can’t do anything really big or powerful like most could, let alone for as long. To compensate, he goes with more down-to-earth methods and external magical tools to assist him, such as natural magical staves and literal spellswords. Instead, any real “abilities” come from Nagi. Unpossessed, he can summon her large skeletal body parts to assist him and, if they’re the arms, can even swing large flaming weaponry when using it. To expand a bit more energy, he can even summon the entire top half of the gashadokuro, but he remains in place and the skeleton itself is rather slow moving overall. He also can’t keep the spirit’s powers going for very long when the whole skeleton is summoned. Limbs, on the other hand, can more quickly come out, for surprise blows or even blocking. However, if they are too severely damaged or severed, he can’t summon them again for a time and even feels the pain in the corresponding limb.
When possessed, that’s when Alesandro becomes a more magical danger. Since Nagi is in control at that time, she gains abilities that either she or the other dead had. Her swordsmanship is downright terrifyingly good and she’s able to turn average sharp tools into sharp Japanese weapons, such as making knives into katanas. They’re also can be ignited with a blue spiritual flame that increases their attack range, though it only allows it to cut or pierce better instead of really burning anything. Weapons can even be made with just the fire, but it will dissipate a few minutes after being made. Her reaction time is also superb and she’s surprisingly agile, though not necessarily fast. Keep in mind though. Nagi is in control she’s only able to do things she knows. Also, Alesandro can speak a variety of languages, including Japanese, due to Nagi being a somewhat “mental translator,” at least for the languages she knows.
Skills: If a person can’t really use magic when they’re meddling in the business of the supernatural, what do they do? For this man, it means using whatever they can get their hands on and use their wits on. This includes knives, daggers, and guns to help himself out, usually preferring lightweight stuff so he can still move quickly. He’s also rather good at parkour due to his different bouts in life and, surprisingly, is good at blacksmithing. Resourcefulness is something he prides himself on, too. He can take a beating, but remember that he is still human and overall is still limited like a human would be.
Equipment: Alesandro has an assortment of weapons at his disposable. In terms of regular weaponry, he brought a pistol, a rifle, 2 knives, and about 3 flashbangs. Obviously, he doesn’t carry all of these things at the same time, mostly not to shatter his spine, and usually has to choose what to bring with him. He also has a decently sized assortment of supernatural tools, such as a functional Ouija board, a low power wand that spews out fire spells, a mid power wand that uses water spells, and healing potions. Rope is also something he tends to carry cause, well, there isn’t many situations he knows of where he doesn’t need rope.
Brief Backstory:Remember that one kid that would always go on adventures when they were left alone for as much as twenty seconds, going all Rugrats? That one that could give an babysitter the worst near-heart attack of their life. Well, that would sum up Alesandro’s childhood pretty well. He constantly looked for things to do and had his imagination make the fun parts for him. When it turned out those tales of magic and tomb exploring could actually be real, of course he was going to pursue it. By the time he was 17, the world of magic became his reality and exploring it was his life. Despite parental fear, ironically the people who made him aware in the first place, he couldn’t be stopped. Time and time again, he swung from ropes, stealing ancient riches from criminals and learning magical knowledge in the depths of danger. Of course, here and there he had to get dirty but good God the ruins and rhymes he learned were worth the pain.
If people knew who he was, they remembered and feared or awed at the “Elegant Splunker.” He always hated that people called him that, but hey, good to be remembered? Some wish they could be remembered after all, as he soon learned. As he tried getting a treasure that was believed to be from the Japanese Feudal Period, or some closeby era, he found himself cornered. A wall and approaching gunsmen down the long hallway. With how low on equipment the man was, it seemed like this was the final journey. He looked at the treasure, covered in robes, as he decided to unwrap it, the one action he was warned not to do. It was a red skeletal arm. In seconds, a red haired see-through girl popped out from the arm. And not long after, the gunsmen came. With a twist of her head, 180 degrees to be exact, all of them shrieked as they ran off, yelling “Gashadokuro! She has come!” the whole way. They both shrugged as he carried the arm back to the exit, grumbling that that was way less satisfying a rescue than he was hoping.
The two soon tried getting acquainted with each other, though it was a bit one-sided. Alesandro was an easy enough explanation, but the girl, Raisha Shinagi, or simply Nagi, was more complicated. Mostly because she had not one past, but multiple. As it turned out, her existence as a gashadokuro infused the past of the dead, most unceremoniously dumped in a mass grave or killed on the battlefield, in her memories. Yet, she knew that she had her own life previously, not just existing as the fused will of the deceased. The problem was figuring out which one she was as none of them looked like her. But she knew her name and it was proof she was alive. That there was a Raisha Shinagi. Surprisingly though, Alesandro was enough of a distraction to not make her too soul-searchy about it. The adventures the two had were always some bizarre fun, especially as they found it she could give him a boost. But curiosity soon came to a head after an old friend of Alesandro’s said he may have a lead on this “Raisha Shinagi” case he asked him a few years back. A small town they called “Minazawa” that might have the answers they were looking for. It was pretty much an immediate decision that they needed to check this out, whether it was her birth town in life or her final resting spot in death. Of course, first came having to stash most of his weapons away due to Japan’s laws towards weaponry. He already had to go through that hassle once, going through it again was not on his plate. With that headache prevented, it was off to Minazawa they would go.
