Stands at 5’8”, only weighing in at 114 lbs.
Full Name:
Varren Yinyues

Gender:
Male

Age:
17

Year:
Third Year

Birthday:
December 12th

Astrological Sign:
Sagittarius

Species:
A complete and utter ordinary human, down to the very core.

Class:
Commando - Taking his expertise with firearms into account, and his moderate anatomical capabilities, Varren found himself most effective by fashioning such a class. Going by the book, a commando is an individual who shows cunning advancement in the field of ballistic weaponry, showing a knack for the practice at an early age, and excelling past those who would be considered veterans in the span of a few years. A literal sense of being the bullet. Fully intertwining themselves with their instruments, and wielding such contempt to unsurmountable extents on the battlefield. Though only a few individuals full under such a title, Varren being one of them, they thrive in the midst of combat, but falter in social interactions. Though most commandos tend to make themselves the focus of their enemies, Varren fancies hit-and-run attacks and tactics which involve stealth.

Weapon:




World:
Earth

Short Biography:
Born to the Yinyues family, a Japanese house which inherited the American manufacturing company known as Magpul. How the Yinyues managed to acquire the rights to Magpul, and all of the products under its copyright, is a story for another time. Since the present of a firearm was always present within the Yinyues’ house, Varren was bound to pick up on his family’s hobby. If anything, the idea of teaching a toddler how to utilize a firearm wasn’t even frowned upon. His parents believed it was a plausible idea, to enlighten the boy with prior knowledge of what he would inherit. It wasn’t long until they discovered he had a natural knack for the usage of weapons, soon fashioning and making his own adjustments to existing platforms. But such a practice became more than a pastime. It began to suck up a majority of the hours he was awake; and if he wasn’t engineering or practicing, he was most likely studying to secure his inheritance. This left no time open for social interaction, which lead up to his entitlement of the class Commando.

Personality:
Varren is a fountain of self-expression, constantly flowing with emotion and passion. Considered to be an open book of his inner feelings, he conveys himself to those around him with any regrets or remorse. Though, stating his own opinions isn’t a problem; its making connections with the receivers of said opinions is his predicament. Unable to find the words to properly come across people as his true self, people are left to perceive him at their own digression. (WIP?_

Partner:
To be decided.

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s):

Anatomical Defficiency: Not as strong as most would presume, Varren is generally a twig of a human being, who can somehow muster the strength to wield weapons of mediate caliber. Though anything chambered in battle or sniper rifles is a no-go, and can easily throw out his frail shoulder.

Hot Chocolate: Can’t stomach the stuff. Found out he had such a weak spot for the beverage when his mother attempted to substitute it for his addiction with coffee. The results were not pleasing, to himself nor the toilet he clutched for the majority of the night.

Social Rejection:

In the few attempts he makes to be social, he constantly fears being rejected by those he tries to make bonds with. With trepidation looming over his head, he ends up deciding against ever striking a conversation.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits:

Persona Fluctuations: Medically diagnosed ’dissociative identity disorder’, Varren can completely change his personality at random intervals. Such occurrences are uncontrollable, and when documented, never show any relations or possible signs of a trigger. Though, the only persona which comes out of the fluctuation is completely different from the ordinary Varren. It is basically a polar opposite of the kind mannered boy, retaining an emotionless composure, leaving no openings for second thought or remorse. The counterpart is only in control for the span of a few moments, and once the proper Varren regains his senses, he has no recollection of the past events.

Full Name
Елена Акуловa
Elena Akulova

Nickname(s)
Goes by the callsign "Shark 2-1"

Gender
Female

Age
18

Year
First

Birthday
December 10th 2048

Astrological Sign
"I care not for petty symbols"

Species
A type of modified human that the earth governments used, and the Russian Federation was no exception. Based on the role the recruit is going into, they are given a modifier that helps them with their job. Elena was given the "Shark" modification, greatly increasing her endurance, strength, tracking ability, and physical protection. The bi-products vary, such as her new found physical features like her hardened skin that particularly shows on her face as seen in the image, her new sharp jagged teeth, or her new found shark like tail. This transformation occurred earlier in her life and she is fairly used to it. The another part comes with a slight unintentional increase in a user's magical affinity. Allowing them to use rudimentary magic more effectively.

Class
"Strike Witch"
A Strike Witch as a unit is typically an individual given both physical modifications and special equipment for combat. As an Aerial Witch, Elena is given a "Heli Striker", a back mounted unit that allows her to fly through the sky like an aircraft. However, Elena was given a unique "Heli Striker" based off the older Russian Ka-50 Shark attack helicopter. She is slower than jet strikers in the air, but has greater control and can hover in the air as well as take off vertically with ease.

Weapon
She was given weaponry that compliment her Striker Unit. First is the most prominent 40mm Auto Cannon she wields. Using what little knowledge she has currently of magic, she can enhance the rounds fired from her weapon to pack even a greater punch. Second is the four "KA19 AGM Missiles" she has mounted on her arm. Finally she carries a family air loom. A cavalry sword that has been passed down from soldier to soldier. Other than its antiquity and craftsmanship, there is nothing extraordinary about the blade.

World
Earth

Short Biography
She was conscripted into the experimental Strike Witch program at age 15 during the "Second Crimea War". While the process was painful and taxing on her body and mind, she came out with her sanity and new found abilities. During a Joint Operations program, she met Alika and has been one her few true friends ever since. She's excited to be chosen to go to the same school as Alika since their military careers would originally make it hard for them to meet up in person.

Personality
Very laid back and friendly. Never takes anything very seriously.

Partner
To be assigned. (Would find it funny for her to be paired with someone other than Alika just to have fun with the drama that would ensue!)

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
She fears her closest friends dieing or suffering in her life. She has no problem putting down a threat but still leads a compicated morality that is always present in any combat situation. .

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
"What? Being part Shark is not good enough? Well I can't blame ye. Dis be a very freak show here."

Shadow Gunner- Using his familiar, Kasha's magic he is able to harness darkness to create minor illusions.

An old flintlock pistol able to fire hardened shadow repeatedly through Kasha's magic. A small jet black crystal that houses Kasha when she is not out.

World
Earth

Short Biography
Jeremiah was a normal human until he found a cat trapped in a strange trap, he was only shocked for a few minutes when the cat spoke. The cat's name was Kasha and she promised to assist him and in exchange for her freedom. He gladly accepted and the two have since become very good friends. It only took him a month to realize that his new friend was a demon.

Personality
Jeremiah is somewhat naive. He likes to help others and tries not to let people get him down. Jeremiah is always willing to forgive even when it comes back to bite him, the only exception is when Kasha is hurt, that he will not forgive.

Partner
(assign it please.)

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Jeremiah is completely worthless if he is cut off from Kasha, even his pistol is just a club without her magic to power it. He is terrified of the dark and without his night vision he panics and is unable to move while in darkness.

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
When Kasha is released he has enhanced agility, night vision, and hearing. If they are together he can tap into her instincts making them difficult to sneak up on.

Themesong
Not yet.

Other
Jeremiah like to keep Kasha summoned, not for the power, but because he enjoys her company.

Likely, yes. I was going to keep the OOC open until I launch the Roleplay, but I hadn't expected it to get this much attention, so I will most likely close it early, wait until the excitement dies down a bit as well, as some people are going to likely come and go.

I'm hoping I'll have the chance to look over CSes tonight, but we'll see how much work I get.

...I checked out the full name of the caliber round Varren uses. It's .308 Winchester *Glances at Cyndee* My sly references are real.

Also... THE CAAAAAAAAAT.

Might want to get an activity check on his is still with us, and I can agree that a cap is needed soon.

Holy shit there is a lot of people.

Indeed, my fellow musketeer. Indeed there are. Anyways, CS is finished for the most part. Might add in a few tidbits here and there before tomorrow. Currently dealing with a headache/studying, so it should be up shortly.

I'm not looking CSes right now. I was leaving Grey to deal with your CS, if need be, I'll look over it. You have fair point for most of the debate, but I'm not a mind reader and neither are my Staff members. We can't assume those details unless you explain it -- that being said, I'm willing to accept your points in regards to your character's origin, assault rifle and so on. However, I still feel like your CS is a little overpowered in terms of weapons and power suit, that sort of thing.

Also, you and Arowne have close to identical CSes, both of you having the same name/nickname and similiar weapon/fighting style, however, I'd have to choose yours over him/her, since you posted first.

Details are being worked out, please be patient. Thank you.

I'm fine to wait. I was just letting people know that I'm still here. As for explanation, Yeah, I done goofed there. I should have gone in to WAY more detail. lesson for next time. as for the power suit, I'll say this much; Its only ever used when he knows he's going to end up in a fight, IE on a mission where combat is inevitable, or in a tournament.
if Arowene changes the weapon/style I'll change my name, though that's more his/your choice.

Alright, just read over your CS quite a bit. Now, do keep in mind your character is a student, though it may be of an academy which specializes in training combatants, they aren't armed to the teeth. If you were to give us a little insight; perhaps on how Leonardo has access to an abundance of mana crystals, since I'm sure a plethora is required to power both the scythe/axe/rifle and the suit of armor. As for the hand-held weapon, only quams I have with it is the Mana Bomb ability. I like the idea of it, but not on such a grand scale. Perhaps something less powerful and more controlled, but has the same effects pertaining to the durability of its power source. As for the suit of armor; either than housing the equivalent to a militia, there are a few things that shouldn't be present. I'd tone it down a bit, taking out the 'dozens' of weapons. Maybe narrow it down to only the mana cannons and the chakra disruptor. The flame-thrower and shotgun are a tad bit overkill. Just tell us a bit more about his mentors, and his suppliers.

On another note. I'll have my CS in the character bin soon.

Jedly, your sig is definitely now one of my favorite "0 fucks given" gif. And I don't even watch that Anime! XD

Well you do now~ - Though, I'd advise watching the first series before this.
My sig is a rotating one, but I do know the image you're referencing. I also have pics from a few other good animes/movies, such as 5 cm per second and Garden of Words.

Won't be necessary. Again, t'was just something I felt like pointing out.


Dunno too much about that kind of lore, you'll have to ask Cyn. For all I know, the grandson of the Devil might not even be all that OP. Nor do I know if fallen angels or even angels themselves (the Judeo-Christian variety at least.) are a thing.

EDIT: Cynder has said angels and demons are a thing, and that she might be find with a Lucifer kid depending on what brand of absurdities he can pull off (and would also require nerfing of other things like equipment depending on content).



0) Doesn't change the fact that Earth tech > Magitech since it renders most of that completely redundant. Random example: you have a gun that shoots elemental ammo, Earth has futuristic anti-materiel sniper rifles. Also, it doesn't address the fact that he shouldn't have access to this sort of stuff in the first place. It'd be illegal if he did.

1) That's even worse than if they were aligned beforehand! Now you have tech that can pull off this shit! And it still doesn't address the issues presented.

2) I'm aware. Doesn't make the fact that she said so any less true.

3) Okay, that is just a horribly offensive (and not in the good way!) weapon design. What kind of manufacturer makes a gun that must be completely disassembled to reload?

4) That makes... very little sense whatsoever. If he has a magical race and untapped stores of mana, he can use it. End of story, or there's no use in giving him innate mana in the first place. I am willing to buy it as an amplifier, though, just not a catalyzer.

5) Let me get this straight. You have a ranged weapon that knocks out people for an hour, and is pretty damn near/completely impossible to dodge (depending on wave speed, assuming sound/light speeds) Read that again. That isn't even including the fact that, depending on how its waves propagate, you get knocked out too.

6) Lucis doesn't get hydrogen tech, and smuggling is illegal. See deep within the bowels of the chat, or ask Cyn.

7) It's indeed the exact same thing. 'No-sell' means counters completely or something like that.

8) *sigh* If it's important to the character, and you don't have it in the CS don't presume that the GM can read your mind. If it's important, put it in the CS. 'Short Bio'-title be damned. If it's important and needs to be hidden, you PM it to the GM. Seriously, it looks like you've already taken the time to write it out, so just include it!

...Sorry 'bout that. Just needed to get that off my chest. So yeah, just lob a copy of that extended bio in group PM between me and Cyn and yourself (and any other GMs you wish to bring in, I recommend Lucius) or drop it here.


*sigh* You're right. That's not recklessness. That's being a massive idiot. And it doesn't mesh well at all with his established traits. You say he's some sort of genius who hates fools and stuff, but then you give him this. Also, he's supposed to be some kind of genius. He should know if tech can do so or not (it can, to an extent).

Alright. I can wait.


I'd better not be seeing any magic copying, then. I've participated in enough RPs, power level discussions, and seen enough stupid, trite anime to know the power of theory when it comes to observing powers.


I barely understood a single word of that, to be honest. Are you saying that it's just a plot device to justify your character talking about peoples' spells? Because considering the rest of his skillset, you don't even need a Navi running around. Not saying you need to get rid of it, just that the function you put it there is redundant.

In conclusion:
Handgun needs rethinking, but is more or less fine barring alternate shooting. The assault axe scythe needs nerfing. The suit and crystals can get the heck out. Weaknesses need to be 'better'. The bio needs elaboration, and probably some other stuff.

Oh, and yell at Cyn about the race.

Also, sorry if I seem really pissed off - I'm not - or have offended you in anyway. And apologies for being so fucking late with this.

On a related note: I'd actually be willing to help you put together a magitech user that works in this mythos.

Wassup. Jedly mentioned this RP in a lil chat and I figured I'd drop in if there's still room.
