[Hider=Half NPC] Name: Inor-Tua'ar, the Great Temptation, the First Sin, the Last Library Appearance: Two fruit bearing trees that emanate overwhelming awe, desire, and disgust all at once; in actuality however, something is connected to these trees. What could that unnameable something be? Age: Unknown Species: Great Old One Gender: n/a Personality: Inors interactions with others can mostly be described as motivated by a cat-like curiosity, mixed in with mild amusement depending upon who they interact with. Ultimately, they view their interactions with those of the normal races as non-material to their own personal being. Their motivation for communicating at all is because they desire knowledge, no matter how mundane. Bio: Their time on Earth has been spent with a fair amount of activity, mostly focused on gathering knowledge. While essentially trapped on this planet, they have continued to gather as much knowledge as possible through cults and proxies. At some point after arriving on Terra, they had been sealed, reducing their capability to interfere with the world at large. This is made worse by lack of Stars being right. Abilities: [i]Tree of Life[/i]: One of the two trees is that of the Tree of Life. Eating of its fruit can change ones physical attributes. It slowly transforms the body of whatever ate it into something not composed of normal matter that does not function as it originally had. Because the body is beyond normal beings, the body becomes more malleable, like clay that can be cast into anything. However, in exchange the mind is destroyed and their body is made into nothing more than a husk, due to their limitations. [i]Tree of Knowledge[/i]: One of the two trees is that of the Tree of Knowledge. Eating of its fruit can give one Knowledge about practically anything; even things beyond human concepts. Unfortunately, by eating of the Fruit you also surrender your mind to Inor and get sublimated by theirs. This allows for perfect indoctrination of their cults, which is useful as they cannot act on their own. I suppose this is relevant, but they and those who eat of their Fruits(conditionally) are immune to mental interference. This was implied but I wanted to make it clear. [i]Servant(s)[/i]: By planting the Fruit from the Tree of Life, "Saplings" are produced, which are various types of plants that can range from alien, to indistinguishable from Terran plants. They serve Inor as spies and servitors. While they had cultists on Terra, they did not follow The Great Old One to this world. Only two did; their Avatar, the Serpent who ate of the Tree of Life, and The Gardner, whom ate of the Tree of Knowledge but still has a will and acts as the Trees caretaker. The Serpent has absolutely immense physical abilities due to their compatibility with the Fruit of Life, and as their avatar has the access to the immense knowledge of technology and magick Inor-Tua'ar does. They act as their hand and voice, as communicating with Trees can be troublesome. Further, they themselves cannot act as long as the seal is in place and the stars are incorrect. Universe of Origin: Arkham cycle As a side note, I suppose this sheet doesn't apply if by some means the Stars become right in the roleplay at any point. They wouldn't need to use proxies anymore(As this entire sheet is focused around them), and their capabilities and relevance to the world around them would change completely. [/hider] [Hider=Player Characters] [hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/2gj1hL2.png[/img][/hider] [b]Name[/b]: Kanakuma, Fourth Heavenly King of the Mountain [b]Age[/b]: Exceedingly old [b]Species[/b]: Oni(Youkai) [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Personality[/b]: Oni are proud beings who love to feast, compete with others, make jolly, and drink. Kanakuma is no particular exception to this rule. She could be called an exceedingly Oni-like Oni who enjoys doing Oni-like things. She enjoys almost any form of competition, be it fighting, drinking, gambling, or eating. She is not as honest as most Oni, but she is by no means a liar or cheater, which she despises. They are amiable to most of those around them, and they will abduct those they particularly like if they cannot match her in strength. She disdains those who are weak of body, mind, and spirit. However, if someone is physically weak but is brave and keeps pushing forward, this doesn't apply. The majority of the time they are exceedingly drunk, so it's hard to put down her actual personality without being around her for awhile. They are disciplined in Buddhism like most Oni. They seem to actually be more well versed in it than they let on which is almost laughable considering their demeanor. They are loyal, and not necessarily unfriendly, but can get ferocious on a dime if something rubs them the wrong way. [b]Bio[/b]: Though their past before Gensyoko is their own, they eventually became one of the four rulers of the Youkai Mountain, a leader among the Oni, Tegu, and Kappa. However, with the creation of the Hakerui barrier and the increasing lack of conflict, the Oni decided to leave and take up residence in Former Hell and build a new society. Kanakuma followed, naturally, and eventually Oni became no more than rumors in Gensyoko. Despite this, Kanakuma has had semi-frequent exposure to the Outside World, it seems. Because of her ability, she can make any social gathering or event into the craziest of parties, which is certainly not disliked by other Oni in Old Hell. [b]Abilities[/b]: [i]Oni[/i]: Among Youkai, Oni have the strongest physical strength, and in Gensyoko, Oni have the strongest physical attributes. From a western point of view, Oni can be seen as a race of not-Heracles. Their body itself is enough to resist almost any attack, and their constitution allows them to laugh off or adapt to diseases, poisons, or other ills. Their healing capabilities further exceed humans, and their endurance allows them to continually fight to their hearts content. Naturally, they can also consume alcohol at a level that will literally kill humans many many times over. Some Oni drink so much that they are literally never not drunk. Among Oni, Kanakuma is within the top bracket. Further, because of their unique nature, normal extermination methods for youkai won't work on Oni. [i]Pandemodium[/i]: Kanakuma's ability is to manipulate "Pandemodium", that is to say wild disorder and uproar, which she can use to affect objects, material or not. Rather than destruction, it is actually an ability that "breaks down" into smaller units. She is incapable of "building up at a whim", but things that have been broken down will naturally build up on their own if Kanakuma allows for it. This allows her to manipulate what this build up results in. This feasibly allows her to make miniature versions of herself, break down barriers between locations for instant travel, among other things. She can even use this on things such as systems, or ideals; this is relative to the concept of "The Heavenly King of the West", who converted all they saw to Buddhism. Further, when this ability is combined with her Strength, the destructive force becomes inane. However, in actuality by that point it would no longer be her strength, but rather, her ability(As they logically wouldn't stack). [i]Virūpāksa[/i]: One of their eyes was plucked out a long time ago. While its typical for Oni to fight, it's rare for them to take a serious wound due to their body, and further to not heal from it. Because of that, it could be said why she lost her eye is more important than what it does. Under her eye patch is an eye constructed of mist. That is, nominally, all the eye is. But by extension of her pandemonium ability, she can use the eye to "break down what she sees" into comprehensible visuals. Using this data, she can calculate what something is with intuition and her large amount of knowledge. The information isn't convenient; it simply allows her to see things that should not or cannot be seen, then to break them down into understandable contents(Such as mathematical numbers). From there, she has to use her own capabilities to understand it. Because it can see things that cannot normally be seen, its possible to see peoples desires or thoughts in the form of colored waves(though not the actual thoughts), or to see their soul or aura. It is a diverse ability that is tied to the "Heavenly King of the West who sees all". In that legend, the Divine King saw into the hearts of anyone he came across, and those who did not follow the righteous path of Buddhism were converted post haste. The mist eye itself has no power. It's just a spare eye she got from some hermit she knows. [i]Sake Bug[/i]: A culmination of Oni technology, the Sake Bug is a fish-like salamander. It takes water and from it Sake is produced. The quality of the Bug determines the quality of the Sake, and this Sake Bug has a very high level quality. This variant can also purify pre existing alcohol, and bring it to its highest possible quality. She carries it around in a Gourd, but it can be put in practically anything with water to produce Sake. However, it may cause overflow if it doesn't have a cap of some sort, though it truly is a competition to see if she can drink more Sake than the Bug can possibly produce. She eats the bug when she is in a fight that may harm it. [b]Universe of Origin[/b]: Touhou Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/cGv9NRX.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Name:[/b] Akari [b]Age:[/b] Older than 1500 [b]Species:[/b] Lunarian [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Personality:[/b] Akari is a person with a vision; one that should overtake the world, thus contorting her dreams into reality. She is not concerned with personal power, but rather that vision of hers in its entirety. She enjoys the concept of science, but in the end her knowledge is a tool like any machine to reach their desired world. They blame everyone but themselves for any failure that may occur, because to them their vision of the world is perfect; it's obviousily just the fools around them who prevent it from coming into existence. This is totally true r-right. To this end, they can sometimes have childish fits or spout angry words. In their mind, the Multiverse is the Ultimate Lab; with a limitless pool of resources. So, then, it's only natural for them to use that to its fullest. In terms of leadership, they are one who makes careful and deliberate action, and allows the results of their plans to speak the most inspiring "words". [b]Bio:[/b] Akari is one of the many Lunarians in the service of the Great Sage of the Lunar Capital, Lord Tsukuyomi. She found her niche in administration, research, and logistics within the Lunar Capital, and eventually came to serve the Noble Gods at the top of Lunar society as a Chief Maid. Their primary job on the moon is public works projects as an army-engineer, expanding the capital or repairing it as needed, along with preparing static defenses. They are one of the Lunarians to help keep Earth "unstagnate" through manipulation of events, and were present for the "Lunar War" after the American Apollo invasion of the Moon. Within the context of the Roleplay, they were one of the orchestraters being the creation of the Lunarian Expedentiary Force. It's primary goal was to interfere with the PRCs attempts at setting down on and colonizing the Moon by collecting important intelligence on Earth, among other things. However, they took a detour to paradise due to a split second change of plans before the expeditions launch. [b]Abilities: [/b] [i]Spellcraft[/i] Akari has knowledge to use a vast amount of magic. However, these ability tend not to be of the fireball sort, but rather more subtle and indirect. Abilities for scrying, detection, creation of shiki, defining barriers, and other less upront spells are her usual things. Ritualistic and item creation magic, essentially. It's based around drawing materials from around it to create something new or create context for pre existing things. Combining this with Lunarian technology, she can seemlessly do something "special" with her items. Further, Lunarians are no different than normal humans at a basis, but because they are pure disease, death, and other impure and corrupting things are unknown to them. Further, they are technically not undying, rather, they lack the concept of death or life because they are pure. However, it's a distant possibility for a Lunarian to die by violence if it occurs. [i]Machevellian Maid[/i] While Akari lacks a true air of authority, they are capable of deconstructing the world and people around them to better understand the plans and actions of others. By doing this, she can create deadly plans to further her agenda. While she herself cares little about personal power, she is someone with a vision, and she will crush anything or anyone that gets in the way of that. They are not so stupid or petty to antagonize or harm others for no reason, but they will not hold back even slightly if the long term benefits are helpful to that vision of theirs. They are loved and feared, and if they are not loved, then they are feared. If neither are this case, then that person hasn't met her, is too distant to be a threat, or is already dead. As an aside, they are a sublime Chief Maid. [i]Engineering[/i] Akari is one of the Moon-Sages, and is considered one of the Lunar Capitals Chief Engineers. Lunarian technology was millinea ahead of modern Earth little over a thousand years ago. It has advanced vastly since then. Akari is one of the primary people who have worked on their awe inspiring technological advances- she has a natural talent for technology that is among the best in the Lunarians, and she has had countless years to refine it. Not only can she understand and create new technology or refine it, but she can also reconcile it with the unseeable such as Magic, or other fantastical aspects of the universe. She is capable of making things in a jiff or planning long term projects, and that is why she was the one to plan and execute the Lunarian Expedentiary Force. Technology itself is a sort of tool to allow convenience in the natural universe for Humans. It grinds against the laws of physics, attempting to accomplish mans greatest works. By using the Unified Theory, she is capable of pushing these fundamental laws to the very limit. Then, with a little bit of tacit magic, she surpasses them completly. [i]Theory of Everything(Final Theory)[/i] The limit of their abilities aren't just at design of items, equipment, weapons, or technology. Science is only half application; the other revolves around the ideas and mechanics behind the machines and tools we create. Owing to that, Akari is an accomplished mathematician and expands upon and makes use of the Theory of Everything(An all encompasing framework that links and explains all aspects of the physical universe )to create advances in the understanding of the limits of technology and the world. It is said that Earth will also reach this answer in the near future, but because the Lunarians also know about Magic too, even that has been accounted for. Using this Theory as a basework, it is possible to gather data from other universes and produces a working Theory of Everything for it as well. However, it would need to account for any differences in physics or magic, which may well be large. As a reward, however, it gives a true understanding about how that Universe works. [i]Manipulation of Geometries(Dimensions)[/i] The capability to manipulate Space. It's the opposite sort of ability a certain Maid in the Scarlet Devil Mansion has. For example it's an ability that lets one create context within the world. In doing so they can create holes between two points, travel through angles, or manipulate space in physics defying ways. Dimensions are also under the definition of this ability, allowing them to manipulate the distinctions between two dimensions or areas, travel between them, or create small pocket worlds for storage or rest. This ability is critical to the expeditions success. [b]Universe of Origin:[/b] Project Shrine Maiden [/hider] [hider=Organizations] Name: Lunarian Expeditionary Force Universe of Origin: Project Shrine Maiden(Multiversal) Capabilities: Centuries ago Lunarians had excessively high level technology such as gravity bombs, rifles that shoot a spread of accurate bullets almost instantly, pistols that fired rounds that resulted in huge explosions, and guns that can change the trajectory of the bullets after being fired. Their technology has since advanced, and it can be said that their civilization as a whole is also excessively advanced, rather than just their weaponry, and as a whole they are at upper crust of technology. They are further capable of using magic, and can call upon the power of the Gods, though the Noble Gods actually live in the Lunar Capital. As this is an Expeditionary Force, there are a number of Moon Rabbits, Lunarians, and heavy equipment. Beyond basic military capabilities, it also has a fairly high number of scientists and engineers who were originally intended to investigate Earth. It is supported by the Lunar Capital, who send requested personal and supplies. Resources are rather tight as this expedition was never meant to create or maintain a major forward base or colony. Objectives: Resolution of Arcadian conflict in a way that prevents a threat toward the Lunar capital. Preservation of Purity on the moon. These two objectives are the main ones, and thus are the current top priority. However, to accomplish this the Lunarians are trying to find allies and have begun to set up a proper base on Arcadia-2. It is being built up as a possible point the Lunarians can flee too if their Moon comes under attack. From a personal perspective, Akari has her own objectives. Members: Akari is the leader of the expedition as a military-engineer. It comes with a host of Lunarians, Moon Rabbits, and various Drones. History: Originally this force was destined for Earth to investigate it. However, after events on Arcadia escalated and this was detected, it was reallocated to investigate it rather than the impure Earth. It followed the portal Frisk opened to Arcadia-2 when he first gained the Terminal, and they set up on the moon accordingly. [/hider]
