[OOC] The Magical Darkness ~ Fairy Tail non-cannon RP

[Vale Kaiser]

~~~
We are the darkness. We are the shadows incarnate. We are the night time stories that keep the children of Magnolia up at night, that give pause to hardened men and give fear to the strongest of women. We are the deadliest assassins bar none in the entire continent, if not the world. We only kill for gold, but the amount of gold is of little consequence. We make a statement. If we feel the reason, the cause, the ideal is right, we orchestrate it with swiftness and silence, be they rich or be they poor. We are the darkness. We are the shadows incarnate. We are the Deaths Scythe Guild.

So, who wants to be a magical assassin? Like I stated in my interest check, this is >NON-CANON< Fairy Tail, using the setting and basis for the anime and manga, yet none of the characters. I will be posting soon with some back-story on the continent.

Obviously, knowledge of the Fairy tail universe is required. Be in manga or anime, if you know the core concepts you are cool. Now I don't want any spoilers. I am up to date with the anime and read to the end of the current anime arc in the manga, and no further. Not everyone may be that far in. SO NO SPOILERS!

Copy of part of my interest check post regarding dragon slayers and lost magics:
I am okay with level 1 and 2 dragon slayer magics, and since this is entirely non-canon, you can be a slayer for an element that already exists in the show. No level 3.

I am also okay with lost magics. We are supposed to be powerful after all. However, a shadowy assassin guild doesn't use giant flashy attention grabbing magics (wouldn't stay secret for very long) and i don't want any overpowered things like 'anything I imagine happens' or 'I can manipulate the space/time continuum.' Also, our magics are designed to kill.

Now, your favourite part, character sheets! They are mostly just the core concepts, as I want a lot of your character to come out in the role-play itself. I do not want history. Every assassins history is their own, to share or not as they deem fit.


NAME:
AGE:
GENDER:
PERSONALITY: (No more than one line. Just the basics)
MAGIC NAME:
MAGIC DESCRIPTION: (A paragraph. Here is where I want the effort :) Remember, we are killers. So if it is not obvious, tell us how your magic can kill. And a mage that kills loudly and proudly either has a good escape mechanic, or doesn't live long at all. Secrecy is key.)
ITEMS:
OTHER: (Anything I forgot or you feel prudent to add)


Also, only taking no more than five that is >5< people. Those who responded to the interest check will take priority over those who did not.

NOTE:
There needs to be the possibility (even if remote) to escape the magic. To easy to just go up to someone and *pop* them. Besides, we will be getting into fights.

ACCEPTED:
Gravislayer: Valruk "The featherweight" Fireheart
Masaki Haruna: Hasegawa Kyouka
Ionion: Vani Ashton

My Character:

Looks like Adam Jenkins on the left when around the guild, and Corvo Attano on the right when on mission


NAME: Umbranox 'Shadowstrike' Kaiser

AGE: 24

GENDER: Male

PERSONALITY: At the risk of sounding like a stereotype, cold and detached on interaction, but with a strong sense of justice inside. This sense of justice is only rivaled by his sense of discipline.

MAGIC NAME: Striders Shadow

MAGIC DESCRIPTION: A very simple magic that allows Umbranox to fuse with shadows, granting a certain level of mobility and control. By stepping into a shadow, he can slowly faze and disappear in it over 3 seconds and reappear at any other shadow that he can see in about 4 seconds. This teleporting is a second shorter on both ends when not using a persons shadow. While in a shadow, his figure becomes blurry (he calls it Shadow Cloak) making it hard to see him. Using this mechanic, he goes from shadow to shadow, stabbing people in the back with either his long katana or his shorter tanto.

Has a certain level of being able to use the shadows to hold/bind anyone in them. Does not have full mastery of this yet, so only tries it on solo missions.

ITEMS: His Katana called Shade and his Tanto called Shadow, as well as a lacrima he can throw into the air to cast light (so he can force things to have shadows)

OTHER: As the Guild Master, nothing goes ahead without his say.

Coolio~
I'll have a CS up today, if I can get to i before work~

[Gravislayer]

Gravity magic is incoming!

[Gravislayer]

NAME: Valruk "The featherweight" Fireheart

AGE: 37

GENDER: Male

APPEARANCE:


PERSONALITY: Brutish on the outside but intelligent and cunning on the inside. Valruk is blunt and often states what he thinks, he does not hold back with his words may they be offensive or of gentle kind. All in all he is a weird fellow who acts quick but thinks quicker and often changes mood and bursts into seemingly uncontrollable rages from time to time. He is he's to predict thanks to the unmatched personality compared to how he looks like.

MAGIC NAME: Graviton's Key

MAGIC DESCRIPTION: The idea of Graviton's key is simple as is the effect. The user has the ability to freely control Gravity in an area of effect around him. This allows him to be free of the effect or to simple cast the effect upon one person or object he seems fitting. This power is meant to infiltrate places quickly or to simply tear them down, for offensive means this is a rather weak magic but combined with Valruk's natural strength it is truly devastating.
The force of the gravity field can be altered by the amount of magic Valruk is using, it is told that he is even able to hold down an entire army of hundred soldiers with it but never stated from his side.
Anyways it still has enough force to pin down other mages with ease, mostly only sheer force can allow someone to free himself from the effect.

The last ability of this magic is to create a black hole, sucking everything in it touches, it is a powerfull magic and only rarely used by Valruk bit one can often see him using it after a job to get rid of any evidence left!

ITEMS: Valruk wears a heavy armour and an executioner Axe. While ye walks seemingly unaffected with those two he earned him the nickname "featherweight" as a mocking name, lucky for those who called him that way that he indeed liked it.

OTHER: Human flesh does taste like chicken! In fact....everything tastes like chicken!

[Vale Kaiser]

The other thing I will mention, and put in the first post, is there needs to be the possibility (even if remote) to escape the magic. To easy to just go up to someone and *pop* them. Besides, we will be getting into fights.

Gravislayer, accepted :)

Acacia

NAME: "The Violet Spear" Acacia Cornet
AGE: 23
GENDER: Female
PERSONALITY: Cold, calculating and just all around not generally a very nice person. Slow to anger and level headed. A master escape artist and A master manipulator, either through charm, or through black mail. If both fail, she will not hesitate to resort to violence and use of fear to get what she wants. She, actually detests fighting for too long and would rather end fights quickly and swiftly.

Despite her cold demeanor, she's actually quite friendly and loyal to those who she deems worthy of calling her friend, and despite the stereotype, not all darkness mages are bent on just power and destruction for their own sake.

MAGIC NAME: Void Magic
MAGIC DESCRIPTION: Most would probably agree that Darkness Magic is probably one of the least subtlest of magics. Destructive, powerful, deadly...yet oddly alluring to those who practice it. Acacia was one such person fascinated by its power and beauty, yet didn't like its flashiness. So, she created her own form of Darkness Magic. Void Magic. Void magic is similar to Darkness Magic in many ways, in fact, one wouldn't be able to tell them apart that easily. There is a fundamental difference, however, as Void Magic is subtler, and doesn't cause the destruction Darkness Magic does. Its more precise.
A few magic abilities of hers. (*Note, this list is just a few of her abilities. She has more, I'm admittedly just to lazy right now to name all of them. I'll add more later as I think of them.)
Magic Abilities:

Void Jump: A form of teleportation magic. This allows her to 'jump' between places within her range of sight. Can quickly escape an attack, or escape an area if its too active.
Void Spear: A dark void opens beneath her target. Spears made of Dark Magic connected to chains emerge from the void and shoot towards the sky at a high speed, impaling their targets on a spike.
Void Barrier: Erects a barrier of dark magic between the caster and the incoming magic attack.
Void Enclosure: Light and Sound is sucked out of an area. However, this ability is only useful for surprise attacks and isn't good during the heat of battle. Its more of an illusion type magic, and once the effected realize this it could easily be broken.

Requip
Has only one use for this. She doesn't fight in a dress, and prefers something less restrictive and more flexible.

ITEMS: Acacia carries a double edged spear that she is quite skilled at using.


Other: Aside from her skills in magic, she is adept at hand-to-hand combat and using her spear to fight.

Alright, there she is~
Willing to change and fix any problems, if any~

[Gravislayer]

I personally think that void jump is too Op~ i mean look at Doranbalt (The FT mind trickster and council executive), he just uses teleportation and kicks many asses while doing that!
I would like a slow dissolving~ i mean teleportation also tends to meta gaming~ Not that i will have a last word about but still~ It allows you to evade very attack while also making direct counter attacks! Sure we should be powerfull~ but her other abilities are strong enough in my opinion!

[Rune_Alchemist]

if Vale thinks its too OP, I'll change it.

Personally, I didn't see it being too OP. Doranbolt was a rather weak character as far as I'm concerned. He couldn't use Teleportation to its full potential, and neither can Acacia. Yes, she can dodge attacks with it and sneak up on people with it, but that's about all its good for. Not really good at directly attacking someone if they know she's there. As such, its used for stealth, which is what this RP is going to be about, and quickly exiting a hostile area.

Think of her ability like Corvo's Blink ability from Dishonored.

Gravislayer said
It allows you to evade very attack while also making direct counter attacks!

And her main focus is dodging/evading countering attacks. That's the point of her character. She gets hit with something, she's going down. hard. Physical stamina isn't her thing.

[Vale Kaiser]

I am personally on the mind-set that the character is fine, however the teleporting is OP. Made me realise I didn't describe my teleporting properly (shall go edit that promptly)

Rune_Alchemist said She gets hit with something, she's going down. hard. Physical stamina isn't her thing.

But she has her barrier. My only issue is that is seems she can do a bit of everything at the minute. I am happy for you to keep the teleporting, but it has to have a big cooldown. You can either use it to engage, or to escape, not for both. Think of it as cool-down. Also, it appears your death mechanic is ranged anyway, so you won't need to get up close (also happy for that to be shot from walls and ceilings, etc, not just the floor) Feel free to message me and we can discuss this further :) I don't want to shut you down or turn your character into something she's not :)

[Rune_Alchemist]

...You know, I think this is first time I've actually had to change a CS before it was accepted.

Well, there's a first time for everything. My brain is mush right now from work, so I can't really think straight, but I'll get back to you tomorrow morning, ASAP~

[Masaki Haruna]

NAME: Hasegawa Kyouka
AGE: 18
GENDER: Female
PERSONALITY:
Kyouka is an aloof person whose capacity of ruthlessness know bounds, it appears that she values life less, she kills her targets with no remorse but does not involve innocent people along the way. She is rather cold and shameless to her guild mates, acting it out like a loner by minding her own business. Whatever opportunity that comes, she will take it and achieve it no matter what it takes, she's known for double crossing people and not to be trusted.

MAGIC NAME: Territorial Maze

MAGIC DESCRIPTION:
-An illusion rune based type of magic that is deadly and nasty, it is designed to torture enemies on psychological and emotional levels. If the trauma that is inflicted upon the target(s) works, chances of death are higher. The user is able to cast different types of illusions meant for trickery and strategical maneuver, usual ones that are performed by Kyouka are usually nightmarish beings. However, the flaw of this magic is its conditions and preparations, it is in fact deemed as a true assassin type of magic that involves cunning, deception and torture, the user must know the information of her target in order to set the road to death, if the user is obvious on this part of the condition, she may not proceed to kill.

The heavy restrictions and conditions of this magic is, it does not work on the blind and the deaf if sound based illusions were to be used and what not. It does not work on extremely dark areas nor extremely bright areas, the user must have a clear sense of mind to use this magic. Another condition is, the user must know the fear of their enemy in order to use it against them and kill them. Using this magic during a full moon increases its potency of strength. Lastly, the user must be calm and collected if she doesn't want to be affected by her own illusions.

It is also impractical to use this on a full scale battle due to lack of preparation time, the user may still use illusions but on a weaker degree that it only plays mind tricks but does not hurt mentally and emotionally.This magic is also comes handy in runes, effective of inflicting a wide area of effect. The rest assure, this magic can be dealt with and be countered in many ways.

ITEMS:
The following rune items are for increasing the effect of illusions that starts with R.
Rune paper tags.
Rune pencils.
Rune paper.
Rune Sword infused lacrima.
Medical Kit.
Dual Swords.
Smoke bombs.
Wires.
Lacrimal grenades.

OTHER: Nobody knows how she looks like with the exception of a few, she wears a pure black outfit that covers her body entirely, we only see her red eyes and sometimes her long black hair.

[Vale Kaiser]

Masaki, accepted :) Fantastic character! One question though...does all this take place in the victims mind, or do they perceive it around them, so therefore technically taking up physical room in a sense. Also, if this is the case, what about people who walk into it? Or see the target? Just curious.

[Masaki Haruna]

It is around them, meaning they will get affected thus the rest happens in their mind and I have rules and conditions on how Kyouka does it. The way you just said it, sums it all up.

Just remember, preparing a room is tedious due to rune set ups, it takes time and art is never meant to be rushed.

I guess in the guild, Kyouka in a sense is multi-purpose, "The Ambush." "The Torturer". "The Intel extractor.", that's the main purpose of her ability, it is to send the prey into paranoia, a world of Limbo(Hell) facing their fears in that maze.

Those who are not in the room, good they will not be affected, step into the room does not guarantee your safety, you might freak out in a sense but you are safer compare to the targets because Kyouka's illusions are not directed to you and her only loyalty is in the guild so, her rules by using illusions is not to have her guild mates affected.

So to put it this way, if your name is not Kaiser, Valruk, Aracia and the rest that are part of the guild, you are pretty much f@cked by Kyouka's illusions.

[Rune_Alchemist]

You know, if she can't have her teleportation, then its just not going to work. Its a main mechanic of her character, and I refuse to change the fundamentals of a character.

You guys have fun.

appearance

NAME: Vani Ashton
AGE: 18
GENDER: male
PERSONALITY: Vani is a person who usually says whatever comes to his mind and doesn't really care about what other people think about him. He does enjoy to joke around with people he knows and he will protect his comrades if they are in danger. Vani enjoys the thrill that comes from killing someone and always loves it when he has to silence some witnesses.
MAGIC NAME: Phase Shift
MAGIC DESCRIPTION: Phase shift allows the user to make himself or things he is touching intangible. Tangible object can't touch intangible ones and vice versa, the only way to touch an intangible object is if the other object is also intangible. Vani is able to make himself intangible for 30 seconds straight, but has to wait 5 seconds before he can do it again. Non living items are easier to phase and he can make them intangible for about 1 minute and only has to wait 2 seconds before he is able to do it again. Other living things are quite hard to phase and Vani is only able to phase 1 other living being at the same time and only for about 10 seconds, the waiting time for phasing the same person again is about 1 minute. These rules apply per object and he can freely choose what he phases when.
Vani uses his magic in conjunction with his wire daggers to make them phase through opponents and become tangible again while they are inside an opponents body.
ITEMS: 4 wire daggers (he is quite proficient in handling them)
OTHER:

may add some stuff, but probably won't

[Vale Kaiser]

Ionion, I like it :) Subtle but strong. Consider yourself accepted.

And Rune, I am sorry to hear that. I look forward to possibly RPing with you in the future.

One or two more and I will make IC. Also, expect a basic plot sometime later today (got family matters to attend to first)
