It feels a bit odd to see that it says I'm the one who started the thread... anyway, I'll try to have my character details up in the next 24 hours.

[OneLastSpock]

I've been a long-time fan of Kubera, but resisted getting an account here until I saw this. Anyway, I hope you'll let me join in this; my experience with roleplaying is slight, but I've always enjoyed it. Let's get down to business...

 

Name: Ritsu Hanatz

Appearance: Male, 36 (looks 18). Short, with short, dark hair. Almost always looks mischievous.

Race: Yaksha Quarter

Birth Attributes: Kubera/Chandra/Brahma

Divine Affinity: RNG? (pls be good)  775

Transcendental Value: 748 (to troll him)

Strength: 48

Constitution: 548

Daily usages:

Spoiler

Hoti Kubera: 1 (x3 = 3)

Hoti Chandra: 2 (x3 = 6)

Hoti Brahma: 1 (x3 = 3)

Hoti Vayu: 2

Hoti Indra: 2

Transcendental:

Spoiler

Illusion: 2 (no base damage)

Creates an image within sight of the caster (but does not have to remain in sight after initial casting). The better the picture in the caster's head, the more realistic the illusion. If the caster loses their mental picture of the image, the illusion disappears. For a Transcendental value of above 500, the caster can create a human-sized illusion and slightly animate it (eg, extremely small movements). For a value of above 750, the caster can create larger images, up to 2. For a value of 1500, the caster can have the created images move like a normal, corporeal being.

Weapon: 2 long-ish, single-bladed knives are Ritsu's weapon of choice.

Bio:

Spoiler

Ritsu Hanatz, the son of a Yaksha-half mother and a well-to-do pureblood father, lived, in his opinion, a boring and restrictive early life. When his parents learned that he was magically gifted, they sent him to university. While he was a good student, his grades did not reflect it, since he spent more of his time looking for adventure. When he graduated at age 28, having repeated several years, he earned a(n) BB rank*. He uses his skills as a bounty-hunter, of sorts; he kills and sells low-level sura for their body parts. He always loves a good fight and adventure, so when he heard of the expedition, he signed up immediately. He prefers to fight with stealth and trickery.

*Magician rank to be determined by RNGed Divine Affinity: A if greater than or equal to 815, BB if less than 815.

I guess we now have an informal welcome thread (too lazy to go to the intro sect):

Welcome to Batoto, Mr. Spock! Hope you enjoy RPing here!

@Manta

Can you re-roll the RNG for me until it is something beneath 700?

[themantarays]

@socrates - If you have something specific in mind, anything is fine as long as it's 750 or below. But if you really want me to reroll for you, here's a nice 710 for you.

Welcome! I was a lurker here for the better part of a year too. Posting on batoto tends to grow on you.

 

Your character sheet looks good; your divine affinity is: 775.

 

The gods of randomness have been generous lately.

[Ichypa]

 

Right before finals too (How could you?)... 

 

This is one of four RPs I'm currently apart of, and I'm waiting to be approved for a fifth. Right in the middle of finals.

 

I am invincible.

No specific reason for a re-roll besides what you just mentioned

[Sangios]

Oooookay! I finally got around to it! Took me a bit longer than I thought it would...

 

Name: Kageshvara Nyvias (Goes by Kage. 40 years old, appears 20.)

 

Appearance: Shoulder length, smooth black hair with long bangs. Bright purple eyes. His hair usually covers his eyes, making others wonder how he can see. His skin is white like snow, which leads others to think he's a girl when they first meet him, when coupled with his hair. Wears anything that's easy to move in, regardless of aesthetics.

 

Race: Quarter (Garuda Heritage)

 

Birth Attributes: Vayu (Wind)-Vayu (Wind)- Vayu (Wind)

 

Divine Affinity: 660

 

Transcendental Value: 750

 

Strength: 40

 

Constitution: 200

 

Daily Usages:

Spoiler

Hoti Vayu: 2 (x27=54)

 

Bhavati Vayu: 1 (x16=16)

 

Transcendentals:

Spoiler

Vigorous Arrow: As the name suggests, this Transcendental manifests Vigor as crystalline arrows.

It doesn't actually require the use of a bow, but Kage finds that using one helps him concentrate better.

Base Damage- 1 (smallest arrow/s) to 4 (biggest arrow/s)

Daily Usage- 4

 

Sight and Sound: This Transcendental explores extremes in the senses of sight and hearing. The user can completely nullify one sense, to greatly multiply the other. The weakness is being unable to hear or see while using it. The strength is being able to activate and deactivate this Transcendental quickly.

Base Damage- 0

Daily Usage- 2

 

Shield of Air: A defensive Transcendental that creates a malleable shield of wind to defend the user or their allies.

Base Damage- 0

Daily Usage- 1

 

Weapon: Handmade bow, handmade arrows (for use when low on Vigor).

 

Skills: Despite being fragile for a Quarter, Kage is extremely agile and dexterous. Fighting up close, it has been said that he's like a blur when he moves, able to land multiple precise attacks in a single moment. It has also been said that eventually hitting him is a reward in itself, for the damage he likely wrought.

He prefers to fight from afar with his bow, using his agility to stay clear out of danger while raining doom upon enemies. Those who have worked with him, are always left astounded at his archery skill, as he rarely misses a shot no matter how one might try to move.

Despite his combat prowess, he can't take a hit very well, and will likely flee with Hoti Vayu when things get bad. It doesn't change the fact that he's an extremely reliable ally at range, and an incredible scout that is capable of creating his own bows and arrows using any material he can get his hands on.

 

Bio:

Spoiler

Kage is extremely observant, with a sharp mind that allows him to quickly and effectively analyze dire situations without panic. He's a loner by nature, but not by choice. Soft spoken and shy, to the point that anyone who meets him believes he's mute (he just talks so quietly that he can only be heard when whispering in one's ear). He has a fear of getting close to others, and has always pushed away anyone wanting to befriend him out of a desire to avoid the possibility of getting hurt. His aloof nature doesn't win him much affection, as he tends to offend others when he avoid others, but it does suit him. In fact, this is a major reason for him being such a gifted marksman.

As he doesn't have a strong backbone, he always prefers to run away when he's made to feel uncomfortable. Even though he pushes people away, he has no problem following the lead of another, as he could never be a leader himself. He also happens to be extremely childish, and will often take things at face value no matter how outlandish. This gullibility leads to him being quite impressionable, and also makes it difficult for him to actually decline a request made of him.

He communicates primarily with physical gestures, usually hand gestures. Girls seem to find him cute (in a "little brother" kind of way) but they frighten him, so he's especially wary of them. He is the person that remains invisible to others, even without trying, noticed only when one knows to actually look for him.

 

The only child of a Pureblood father and Half Mother of Garuda descent.

Kage's childhood was quite fulfilling. He was taught to hunt by his mother, and his father taught him how to use magic. Both were upstanding, virtuous citizens who were members of an enforcement group that spent time keeping the peace all across Willrarv, which had them travelling about frequently, though they made their home in Rindhallow. His parents instilled in him a sense of justice, teaching him to look out for and help others whenever he could, as being virtuous would lead to a bright life. This held true for Kage, until his 9th birthday.

A group of criminals had been taken down by the enforcement group, though a small number had escaped. Rather than hide and run scared, they had managed to track down two members of the enforcement group, Kage's parents. What should have been a happy day was turned into a nightmare, as the child had to watch his beloved parents get murdered right in front of him. The criminals had taken them by surprise, overwhelming his parents. His father's last act was to hide his son with the fusion spell Hoti Vayu Hoti Chandra. It was by pure luck that he wasn't discovered hiding in the pantry of their kitchen, after the spell wore off with the caster's death. He had emerged from his hiding place, to be greeted by the blood all around the house. He didn't know how to react, or what to do, so he just sat there, having gathered together the pieces of his parents. He didn't even blink a single time that night, staring, hoping that they would come back to life somehow. It was when his parents friends from their group came over to see him, that he finally realized that they weren't going to come back.

It turned out that the neighbors had heard commotion from the house, but not a single one had even thought to check on them. His parents had helped all of them out on multiple occasions, asking for nothing in return. They all realized something was wrong, but nobody had any intention of even trying to help. At the funeral, they all claimed to be sad, even though they might have been able to save his parents if they'd done something. He wasn't angry, as he couldn't fault them. Not when he had done nothing but cry and watch from safety. Another couple with the enforcement group took Kage under their roof in Eloth, however he was miserable. It wasn't even a week in, when he had run away. Using and refining the skills taught by his parents, he struggled to survive, yet made it on his own. Of course, this kind of life saw his social skills plummet miserably.

He experienced many things, and was hired for various jobs, sleeping outside in nature rather than in a "safe" city. He took the Magic Exam, passing with a score good enough to earn a B-rank License, just so he wouldn't be bothered while entering and exiting cities. As time passed, he found that he could recall less and less of his parents. Until one day, he simply forgot. He couldn't even remember the names of his parents, much less their faces. All he remembered was a couple that foolishly believed in helping others, and were killed like animals for that very reason. The one thing that he could take away from that, was that there was no reward to be found in helping others for free, because at the end of the day, everyone is out for themselves.

Kage had been and felt alone every day of his life, at least the days he could really remember. He felt it might be Willrarv itself that made him feel this way. By chance, he heard about the group going to Carte, from someone he had worked a job with. Hoping he might be able to change even a little bit, and become stronger, he decided to join up and travel to the foreign planet.

Why do you only have six Daily Usages?

Edited by Ichypa, 07 December 2014 - 04:41 AM.

[Sangios]

Why do you only have six Daily Usages?

I wanted to keep it balanced between Spells and Transcendentals. I guess I'll add a few more uses if Manta okays it?

[themantarays]

You're supposed to use your daily usages on spells AND transcendentals. I'm too drunk right now to evaluate the rest of it properly, I'll get back to you.

[Sangios]

Ah I see, no problem! I fixed it. Let me know whenever you're in a healthy mind.

[Tierra]

Ah I see, no problem! I fixed it. Let me know whenever you're in a healthy mind.

Now you have 17 daily uses all in all?

[themantarays]

You need a total of ten daily usages, split between spells and transcendentals.

 

For a quarter, your constitution is very low, but since you're triple Vayu if you want to keep it that way that's fine.

I'm fine as is then? I don't mind changing to make sure it all adds to ten.

[themantarays]

Other than your daily usages you're fine. Put it in the character thread when you're ready.

[Sangios]

Okay up and fixed. The problem was that I somehow completely missed that paragraph about the daily usages.

[Sangios]

So... any estimate on when the RP is going to start?

[Nualie]

So... any estimate on when the RP is going to start?

I think Manta said middle of next week?

[Tierra]

he just said he finished finals today, so probably next week yeah.
