• Shy - when there isn't a guitar in your hands or a mic in front of you,  it's hard to talk to others, even in dire situations. People are scary yah know
• Soothing sounds-  Whether its rock or something lighter you have a voice and talent with instruments that can sooth the souls of those of your allies and make them that little bit more cheerful.

Savan's back and op as fk to moderate all y'all asses... and then obliterate if necessary 

Spoiler

Name: Savan Evergreen

Alias: Savan The Seventh

Age: 104

Frozen Age: 29

Gender: Male

Origin: Fei [increased growth rate]

 

Personality: A true knight in every sense, he has the pride, honour and love of a true warrior and will not back down no matter the situation, even if death breaths down his neck and touches his cheeks. Though those who know him well have noticed slight changes in his behaviour ever since that certain mission that changed him forever.

 

Bio:

Born into the hopeless world Savan was a strange child, he hated being stuck underground, he would listen to the elder who told stories that his elder told him as a youngling. He heard many things, many legends of the world above and even stories older than any man can really remember, and that was the legend of Knights. Perhaps it was not smart to tell the boy all these stories as when he heard the stories a glitter was always present in his eyes, but perhaps this was fate at work guiding the young boy towards a future beyond the expectations of many… if only this boy was not born as the world was coming to an end.

 

As the stories continued new stories started being told, these stories are not about the times of old, these stories are recent from the news of a new hope for humanity… the anima. In Savan’s eyes the new hopes were like the knights from legends, fighting against the evil for the greater good, of course Savan would soon come to learn the world was still hopeless, there was no hope… or was there?

 

One night in the underground city which Savan lived a horrid scream could be heard, it was the scream of fear, the scream of doom. The city soon became chaos, it was strange though there were small aliens… but the one leading them wasn’t big…. it was a Baroques class, but Savan did not know that, all he could feel was fear as his parents were devoured by the horrid creatures that broke into the safe haven underground.

 

“I don’t want to die” the boy cried as the Baroques class approached him.

“then don’t” a woman's voice said, and as the voice spoke an explosion happened in front of them, the alien was wounded but not dead and it escaped. Savan was shocked with the outcome of what had just happened, he had just been saved by one of the knights he had come to admire and that person was Ayasegawa Fei a woman with a strange beauty that Savan soon came to admire even more. He wanted to talk to the girl but she left as quickly as she came, and her parting words were etched into his mind for the eternity to come, “if you don’t want to die, become stronger” and with that explosions rang through the city of the dead as the once superior aliens fell, burnt, perished. That was humanity's last hope, a power that could even be considered inhuman.

 

Savan was the only survivor from his town, his family his friends all were dead. But the boy did not break, he was saved and taken to another town, Nibel. As he arrived he learnt this city was the HQ of humanities last hope, with this knowledge a spark stronger than ever before lit in his eyes as he asked if he could have a sword to train with to become stronger, he was denied bluntly by the adults, he begged but nothing so he gave up and thought up different ways to practice. Day in day out he ran laps, he did push ups, sit ups and many different exercises to strengthen his body. He spent over a year of basic training without being able to even touch a sword all he could do was read old books that explained how to wield swords, then a girl walked up to him and handed him a sword, “use this, you can become stronger” the girl was fei, yet again she played the pivot point in Savan’s life. With a sword in his hand he added swinging the sword repeatedly to his daily training and trained with a strong will, a will stronger than most humans in times of hopelessness. His training advanced over time and he pushed himself to his limits, the basic swings of his sword turned into precise strikes of deadly strength….to a normal man and the boy had surpassed the limits that tied most humans down, and that was fear… no it was not right to call him a boy anymore as he was already 20 he had become a fine man.

 

What would become of this young man in the times of parel? most did not even consider this question if for some reason someone was asked, they would all reply that he is a fool who will die young for having such high hopes. Of course not all thought that what he did was useless as when he finished training he would sometimes come across Fei as she wandered around, then Savan would always try to talk to her, she was not very talkative, and she could act very differently at random intervals but Savan did not care. Maybe it was something like first love? or maybe it was like how an abandoned puppy would follow the one who fed them once? either way as Savan always spent his time separate from others he valued talking to her like nothing else.

 

Of course all this meant nothing in the end as news spread about the Animas losses, Fei had survived...but it seemed the way she acted worsened and it was decided to put her ‘to sleep’ Savan was deeply saddened by this but he could do nothing but watched as hope turned into despair and humanities last hopes slowly diminished. But hope would never truly fade, if humans have ever been good at anything it is their ability to overcome and find other ways to survive and that is exactly what happened. with the seventh Anima’s ‘death’ it came to light that there was a way to ‘recreate’ these soldiers and people were welcome to volunteer in the experiments.

 

By the time Savan gained proper knowledge of this experiments had already started taking place, many of the first where failures and died, there were so few successes so far the number of new Animas could be counted with 2 hands, the number was 6, there was one success for every Origin so far…. except one, Fei.

 

It was inevitable that Savan would volunteer for the experiments, fate was a strange and cruel thing that pulled Savan along. When he volunteered he said he wanted to fei to be his origin, the scientists told him it was impossible to survive the transplant because of the great mental and physical destruction, but he would not budge on what he decided he would become an Anima with Fei as his origin as he truly believed it was the only way he could repay the one who saved his life. And so they gave in and conducted the transplant.

 

It was a success

 

Savan became the First Anima of Fei and only few would follow him later… but that time was no where near now.

 

The scientist were astonished by the outcome, he survived and was even mentally stable. It seemed his Undying iron will was considered the cause in the end as they tried again afterwards only to fail, their bodies would either be destroyed or their mentality was completely eaten away while other Anima born from the other origins slowly succeeded

 

Pay no heed to the stories of others for now as they are the stories of other men and woman in the new times of hopes and these stories could very well intertwine with Savan’s as time flows through.

What happened to Savan after it was a success? well after some training to understand his new body he was sent straight to battle with the first and third Anima, Garven Soleg and Julia Evergreen. With only three of them the battle was near one sided with the First’s unstoppable power and Savan’s completely offensive power they shredded through the alien forces while Julia much like her predecessor stayed further back and ‘toyed’ with the lesser aliens.

Hope was reinstilled in humanity.

 

the Seven Anima stood at the helm and became the leaders as other Anima appeared and more humans gained the courage to fight in some way, even if they could not fight they found other means to contribute to humanity. Many new bright minds came into the light and worked on finding a more stable way to create Anima’s. and with the battles that brought life and death to the Animas they studied, worked on many things and with the studies they even created armour and a sword for Savan that synced with his HSG which made the seventh leader an even more destructive force.

 

Savan spent the next few years in constant battle, he could always be seen at the center of the battle covered in the crimson from his foes. Slicing his foes or obliterating them with his Burst Armour and none could compare to his pure power, he was truly worthy to be considered the first Anima of Fei.

 

With new hope comes new love

 

Humans seek for comfort with others and Savan was no exception. From the years fighting alongside Julia Evergreen a bud blossomed between the two as Humanity light in the dark world. Savan had finally found love at 68, maybe this love was the thing savan wanted the most. If asked how the two started dating both would have different stories of when it started, because the love was there for a while they only decided to act on the feelings after a near death experience Savan had in a battle not long ago they realised either one of them could die at any time so what was the point of holding in their feelings and feeling regret at the end of the road.

 

The romance between the two leaders ended up being a big thing… because you know they are both leaders but their romance was used as propaganda to attract more Anima. The propaganda helped attract new recruits, ‘love in the midst of darkness’ had seemed to hit it off as it was used to recruit and try to keep the minds of the masses off the despair at their doorsteps. But why did they love each other? its not very clear if they know themselves, love is unpredictable and maybe it was due to the fact they were on the battlefield more often together as their abilities were well matched compared to other leaders.

 

Love progressed, happiness was visible and on the suggestion of the higher ups there was even a public marriage. It is normally the woman that receives the males last name but Savan took on Juvia’s last name as he never had a last name of his own… there is a reason for this but Savan has never and will probably never talk about to even his wife. Their relationship wasn’t all sweet as the propaganda suggested because in the end they were still a normal couple, they loved, they fought they made up and they argued some more. In a way it was a fresh atmosphere. There was even talk of trying to have a child, which while not impossible it was still uncommon and the child would be born normal… but isn’t that what they may want the most? they would fight for a world where their child could live a happy life.

 

but they never had a child in the end.

 

The greater the hope, the greater the despair

 

It happened 10 years ago, a mission that should have gone smoothly went so wrong in so many ways, this mission was fated to come in a way. It is the very mission that changed Savan…. what could have changed him? read the documents and reports relating to the mission and decide for yourself.

 

August 14th 3XXX

[The mission was meant to be so simple, there was a horde of Harvester aliens and no leader was sighted the mission was simply annihilate the forces with full force. So a squad lead by Savan and Juvia was sent out for direct combat, They met with the forces… but something was wrong, there was someone...no something standing at the head of the forces, it was a man… no it was no man, Savan recognised the twisted smile all too well, it was the same Baroques as all those years ago. Why was it leading an army? why did it look so… human? what is it’s motives? it seemed different to the other aliens, it didn’t seem to follow the linear thoughts of destruction and devouring of other life. No speculating about that monster is useless.

 

After anger boiled my blood I drew my sword and charged in a frenzied rage. There is no excuse for my actions, I do not remember much after my rage induced charge… apart from seeing my comrades falling victim to the enemy, It is all my fault they died..everybody died….everyone….even her, i saw it all it’s the only memory burned into my mind. While she died He...no it laughed, it enjoyed watching me suffer then i completely lost it.

The next thing I remember is regaining consciousness on top of a pile of alien corpses, and that was when reinforcements arrived. I didn’t care anymore, everything was gone the one I loved my comrades i failed them all… and IT was nowhere to be found…… I can’t take it much more….I will slaughter them all]

 

-REPORT END -

 

-this is the one and only time Savan the seventh spoke of the failed mission, it has been requested by the higher ups to not personally ask Savan any questions as they have speculated that Savan is experiencing the same ‘issues’ as his predecessor...there may not be much longer left.

 

There are also medical reports of Savan which can be of interest, he somehow survived the attack with many wounds, his ascension levels where near depleted and he was on the verge of death… what could have happened on that mission to cause this?

-ATTACHMENT TO REPORT-

 

There is not much more time left. It may not be visible to many but there have been clear changes in his behaviour patterns, he is starting to deteriorate in a similar way to his origin. We may have to resort to the same method we used on the first, maybe we place the ‘hero’ next to it, what irony as the first and the first of her ‘offsprings’ to eternally sleep side by side.

-TOP SECRET REPORT END-  

 

Savan has lost his way, what does he fight for? who does he fight for? why does he even fight? He ponders these questions and many more in his free time nowadays while sitting alone on a bench at the center of the city, its almost as if he is trying to ask his origin the questions directly as he talks to himself.

 

“why dous thy wield this sword? Tis this the fate I must bare?”

 

Savan is the seventh leader and on the verge of being taken off active duty, is this the end of the line for the Knight or is it just the beginning?

@Fay: To answer your question about leaving this. I thought on it long and hard and decided 'Nah...It's Fay-bou we are talking about. How can I not RP with him.' xD

 

Also on an added note this subsided my plans to do an RP alongwith other notable reasons *cough* Missy *cough* and I wasn't able to wrap my head around a decent dice setup for battles and stuff that I decided to put my faith back in you and Joddy.

Spoiler

Name: Vici Nyx

Gender: Male

Theme: Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass

Age: 32

Frozen Age: 24

 

Origin: Garm V Bernard

 

Personality: Vici has the sort of personality that is kind of polarizing to some people. On one hand he is incredibly loyal and selfless, but on the other he can also be very cocky and smug. You either love him or you hate him.

 

Bio: Vici grew up as the son of a military officer and a small time farmer in the town of Dulcin, and he lived a fairly normal life, albeit a bit strict, but that was to be expected with a military officer for a mother. Despite the harsh lessons his mother often taught him, Vici never took for granted the life he had; he knew very well that in a time of war, he should just be happy to have food, let alone loving parents that educated him, both in academics and self-defense. Of course, there was little this knowledge could do for him when the news of his mother's death in the fighting against the Etrangers drove his father to suicide. Vici was seventeen at the time of his mothers death, and he watched for the next two years as his father began to neglect the crops (what little they could grow in the first place) and wither. Vici tried reasoning, but one day he looked into his father's eyes and saw nothing was there. The loss of the love of his life had caused his father to completely shut down. Although he feared it would happen eventually, Vici couldn't keep an eye on his father at all times. If he did, who would work the crops and bring food to the table? Vici returned home to a corpse dangling from the roof of his home.

 

Two years later, Vici was living on the streets of Dulcin. The city had lost contact with the central government and had been separated from the capital and any other supply lines by Etrangers. The city had fallen into chaos, the streets were ruled by gangs, one of which had drove Vici out of his home by systematic destruction of his crops, and then when he left to defend his crops, they trashed his house. Something triggered in nineteen year old Vici when he witnessed one too many innocents injured or killed as a result of the gang violence. Vici overthrew one of the smaller gangs that held relatively little territory and gathered to him innocents who had been wronged. People who took to Vici's cause of restoring Dulcin to a suitable home. Vici's ranks of vigilantes grew rapidly and eventually re-took the city after crushing the gangs through a combination of Vici's skill at arms and the administrative skills of the former politicians and their families. Vici allowed the old political leaders to retake their positions, and they swiftly began working to restore the infrastructure of the town to a sustainable level. Vici took up the self-created mantle of "Peacekeeper" and worked with a small group of vigilante volunteers to maintain the safety they had fought so hard for (Of course, putting himself on the front lines was a conscious decision; Vici enjoys the thrill of a good fight and would like nothing more than to crush any gang resurgences). Unfortunately, the resources around Dulcin had been drained too much, and sustaining was impossible, so the people of Dulcin were forced to either waste away, or attempt a convoy to the capital. 

 

The convoy was chosen, and though they did eventually reach one of the greater cities, many lives were lost in the journey. The once decently populated city of Dulcin had been cut to a mere 1/5 of it's original population over the years from the gang war to the convoy. Vici was sought out by central military recruiters after hearing of his martial prowess and role in saving what little of Dulcin he could. They presented to him his mother's lever-action shotgun, with her name still etched into the barrel: "Terra Nyx". Vici eventually accepted their offer, and was promptly sent off to the new experimental Anima program on his twenty-fourth birthday.

 

 

Combat:

 

Melee: HGE-infused chain + Lever-action shotgun (gun-fu, yo)

 

Might: 3 (2 base +1 from origin)

Finesse: 3 (2 base +1 from origin)

[1][S] Chain Manipulation [1/1]: Vici extends/manipulates his chain

@Orc: the max Anima age is +60 if you are going for older anima. Then it would be reasonable to believe your guy is 84 and not 89

[Muninn]

How do you determine Cast time/cost?

 

Spoiler

Name: Jansen Valentine

Age: 84

Frozen Age: 24

Gender: Male

Origin: Camus Orion[+1 MGT | +1 COM]

Personality:

Are you silent, or are you chatty? Are you a sickeningly sweet person? A bitter one? Please note that personality will have an effect in the RP mechanism. For example, a loner character will work less effectively in a team, but shines brilliantly on a solo mission.

 

Biography:

Please keep this part under 500 words long. I am planning to integrate all of your characters into the canon one way or another, and I have a short attention span, so..

 

Combat:

Ranged Attack: 

Melee Attack: 

 

Might - 4

Finesse - 1

Compatibility - 3

Second Heart Skills: 

[1][A]Quake: Jansen is capable of channeling powerful tremors via HGE emission directly into a surface that causes a powerful shockwave to go through it. This allows him to cause faults, shifts, and breaks in hard surfaces that can topple foe and friend alike, severely damage infrastructure, or even take the ground out from underneath their feet depending on the power put into it. He can even channel these tremors directly into the body of an opponent to deal severe internal damage, if not outright scrambling them.

[1][A]Charge: Jansen applies the principles of "Quake" with more control, allowing him to cause a part of a surface to suddenly jut outwards like a spike or battering ram to attack. The size and range depends on the power put into it.

@Orc: the max Anima age is +60 if you are going for older anima. Then it would be reasonable to believe your guy is 84 and not 89

Edited it, I wasn't going for older, The whole age thing confused the hell out of me. Since it said the youngest possible age was (Age-60), then that makes it sound like the youngest you can be is ((insert age, I wrote that Vici joined the Anima project at 24, so I'd need to reverse the formula to get the youngest anima age he could be (24 + 60 = 84), then (AGE: 84 - 60 = frozen age (24)). With the YOUNGEST he could POSSIBLY be being 84. Unless I'm just not understanding something.

 

Yeah, upon re-reading, I'm just getting confused. So i'll just go with 32 then. Vici hasn't been around for that long.

[The Illuminati]

Everyone was confused by the age it seems. Fay needs to drink some shots and say a few hail maries for that one. xD

[KDPtheKing]

I'd that you?

[Faye]

D:
Edited the frozen age description to say "this cannot be any younger than your actual age minus 60"

 

Will this help? o.o

 

 

@Munnin:

Welcome to this RP, mate. It's a nice surprise to see you in Batoto. Last time we met were in OMF, I think?

As for your question, you may suggest the cast time and cost of your skills yourself if you want. We GMs have the final say on the values, though

Stronger skills will cost more (but does not necessarily takes longer to execute), and complex ones would take more time.

 

I think your quake would be [1/3] and your charge is a [1/1]

Don't mind Ita, but I am still waiting on a mad RP you promised on Skype. And I'm not sure if Capt and you are still in Co-GM chairs. If so, then you are in my faith as well.

ya im working on it but even if i finish everything i don't really want to post it until i know what my future holds.... Imagine if i posted it then got a letter of acceptance which also means no internet for 3 months.

also yes im still co-gm... who else could think up such awesome traits

 

 

• Shy - when there isn't a guitar in your hands or a mic in front of you,  it's hard to talk to others, even in dire situations. People are scary yah know
• Soothing sounds-  Whether its rock or something lighter you have a voice and talent with instruments that can sooth the souls of those of your allies and make them that little bit more cheerful.

 

no i swear im not trying to make trolly traits

[Jod]

course not

[KDPtheKing]

Can my
Character develop some traits out or are they stuck?

[Orcraniil]

Can my
Character develop some traits out or are they stuck?

Traits:

1. Other than MFC and skills, characters will also have traits

2. Traits are GM-generated from their bio and personality

3. You may gain more traits as you interact with the RP more

4. Not all traits are positive. Most are a mixture of positive and negative aspects, and some are downright negative.

 

^^Taken from the system google doc.^^ Bolded and Underlined. Yes. You may develop more traits.

Edited by Orcraniil, 31 December 2014 - 09:19 PM.

[Jod]

some more coming up

 

For nef

• Mad - The three-letter-word we all love. You are a headache in structured command hierarchy, because you will never obey other's orders. except when you decide to surprise us and actually follow said orders. whatever it is, we can always count on you to do the unexpected
• Pyromaniacs - You seem to have an unnatural love to fire and explosions. It can be unnerving at times, but your willingness to do almost anything to set Ets on fire is generally viewed as a good thing.

[KDPtheKing]

So does that mean I can no longer be shy if my character develops that way? I can seriously harm a mission dontchahknow

[Faye]

You can lose and gain traits as the rp progresses

@Orc: your traits are still under the stove. Please wait a little longer ok?

[Midnightcat]

So... Fay, do i post the CS to the cache or here first?
