Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

Getting outside of the Kairo Skyscraper, his silver eyes reflected a pinkness for a second while looking for the threat. Everything was so loud and chaotic only moments ago and it happened to fall eerily quiet - he absolutely hated it. Hey, boss.

"What K?" Asterion vocalized while looking around and in control of his best friends body.

I'm pretty sure she's to your left.

Asterion looked left to see all the destruction down the block and he rolled his eyes and began to move to it. People were scattered out by this time so there wasn't much around the funky cartoon-looking-character of a woman. When he got closer to really see her visuals, he was honestly surprised with Krish's short description of her. "She really is a cartoon looking bitch, isn't she?" he whispered those words.

Yeah. I don't know why she thinks she can come here throwing bombs.

Shrugging Krish's shoulders, Asterion had no idea why she was doing it either. Last time he checked, he wasn't pissing others off, but he could see how being absent from most situations could cause others to see him as a target or want to mess with him.
That was when a gigantic explosion went off and the whole body of the man tensed up in reaction. "I'm glad I am used to being your body. This should be fun fighting her," Asterion added as he began to get closer.

Do not hurt this body. I'm not like you. You can jump into others and your body heals. Mine doesn't. Do not be a prick, Asterion! Krish's thoughts were loud towards his best friend.

Asterion waved, "I will be good. Do not worry. Worse case that happens is I jump out of you and into some random person like that guy," he gestured to someone that was cowering behind a dumpster.

The man got close enough to the strange woman as he summoned the rope dart that was Krish's gift. He had used the man's body enough along with Krish not fighting - he was able to operate smoothly. "I hope you did not plan on staying. Overstays are unwelcome, especially when there was no invite," with those words, he spun the dart around at the end of the rope before trying to swing it just right for it to connect and hit the woman blowing up everything.

Roll Proof Roll outcome - 3

As he swung the energy based rope dart and missed, the thud on the ground was somewhat disappointing and unsettling to a bit, but he was reeling it back in to attempt another hit on the woman. He was not asking questions.

@Estylwen

@The Savant Oof, that's a lot of work. Thank you for the heads up, there's absolutely no pressure. I've added Krish to the list, and look forward to your post whenever you have some time!

@Estylwen

Thank you for the understanding.

@Estylwen

Sorry for taking so long! My work decided that it was the last week before break (we have 2 weeks off) and I've been working 12 hour + days every day this week but I'll finally be free tomorrow. I'll end up writing up a reply (already have some written up) to your side-character Estylwen (getting it posted tonight or tomorrow morning) and then I'll be able to keep up with responses. I apologize for the delay!

Krish Zarina

Krish Zarina

30 | Male | Asterion's Plus One

Description: Krish met Asterion when they were in their older teenager and young twenties. It was mainly casual interactions such as going to the same bar, chatting, and running into each other. However, the more they talked, the more they liked each other, even if they bickered like siblings. Krish was an orphange from the streets of Nocturnia and a nomad to the life of living.
Then he ended up finding a place with Asterion and two other guys. Slowly, Asterion led Krish and others into businesses. With Asterion's abilities, he was able to keep Krish and him afloat or better. Krish is extremely loyal to Asterion and doesn't care to get into details why. People might find it very hard to break that loyalty.

Gyft: Rope Dart
Krish can summon a rope dart that might not do damage that appears right away though if the dart penetrates an individual, it sucks the energy out of them. Every time it hits, the individual will feel more worn, tired, or exhausted depending on how many hits they have endured. A varliable amount depending on person-to-person, most people end up having to sit down or take a nap to recover from this energy sucking power.
A 1d6 determines hit or miss.

Evens hit and a #6 outcome on a 1d6 roll means the dart attaches to them.

Every uneven number is a miss outcome.

If someone is regularly hit by his ability, they will take damage in the sense of an energy drain. This might cause an individual to feel weak, tired, etc... If his ability hits and attaches to an individual, that individual needs to roll a 1d6 (any even roll allows them to detach from the attack and not be drained anymore).

An individual upon getting struck with a outcome of 6 on the 1d6 roll can roll a 1d10 to grab the energy/spiritual string attached to Krish. A roll of 1, 5, or 10 allows that individual to yank the string in a special way that actually shocks Krish's nervous system and hurts him.

@The Savant All good! Krish looks great, the only thing I would change is to slightly increase his chances of landing a hit with the rope dart. 🤔 Besides that, they're good to go.

@Estylwen

I could make it that every even number is a standard hit except the outcome of 6 which would mean he would miss if he gets 1, 3, or 5. Hit if he gets 2, 4, or 6.

@Estylwen

Sorry, I did not realize that Erode posted our collaboration together, so I was waiting for that (then I realized they did in a hider). Then I started writing up my reply to go over to your character then realized I didn't write up an NPC sheet or anything for Asterion's NPC guys, so here is Krish. The man Asterion jumped into.

@The Savant Ey ya go. Probs just need a response from Asterion and then I'll post it up as part of muh actual post.

@ERode

Tag! I think my replies for the post are all tightened up for now.

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@The Savant You should! There's no rush, though. Got lots 'a time. :)

@Estylwen

Since Samuel will be brought up in mine and E's collaboration. I'll make him first.

Samuel Sauten

Samuel Sauten

16 | Male | Errand-boy/assistant

Description: Samuel is the nephew of an already established worker at Kairo Skyscraper. The young man got in by his uncle practically begging Asterion to give him a job or good recommendation because family drama was going down. Samuel's mother isn't well off but she is trying, he has a younger brother, and there is no father in the household.

He is a scrawny teenager who stands about 5'10 and weighs less than he should (or at least Asterion thinks so).

Samuel is a semi-awkward teenager that has a hard time reading the room which isn't the worst thing. It tends to get on Asterion's nerves or tests his patience because it's usually at the most inconveniencing times.

Gyft: He has not been granted a gyft at the moment --- he will hopefully get one, one day.

I should make NPC/filler characters.

@ERodeTag-a-runi!

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@ERode I'll respond tonight or tomorrow. My work decided to put me on multiple routes and trips from 6:30 AM start to 10 PM end. With only 2-4 hours breaks depending on the day. I have a light day tomorrow so I'll definitely be able to get back on track with you.
