Bio

There's not much about me to say.

I was born in December 1998, and I've been doing Forum RP since 2011. I live in Southeast Asia-- the Philippines (GMT +8:00) in particular, so if I'm not around, I'm probably asleep or otherwise busy. I mostly do Group RPs and Tabletop Games (off-site). I've never been in a 1x1 RP, but some of the premises seem interesting enough.

I like Fantasy, Sci-fi, and certain Anime settings. I do shy away from certain genres as a matter of preference (historical, slice-of-life, grimdark, etc), and if I know nothing about a fandom setting in question, I'm far less likely to throw my hat in the ring-- but if the premise is interesting enough, I may give it a shot regardless.

I like to be relatively active, though life gets in the way sometimes. If you're lurking and are trying to get me to post, if you want to be a mutual friend, or if you want to invite me to a specific RP, just let me know...I don't bite. So long as you aren't rude, we'll get along just fine, and even then, I may extend a sort of professional courtesy between us as writers.

With that out of the way, if you're here, you're probably looking for more of my writing. Thankfully, I've recently compiled a list of my characters (with links to their respective RPs) from this site. If you want to check them out, the link is here.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! May the RPs you're in be of an acceptable posting speed, and eventually, come to end on a decent conclusion...

...A man can dream, eh?

I was wondering when we'd get an apprentice character. Good stuff. Approved!


Very nice, Spectral! I will say that the BBCode in your app seems to have been altered, causing it to look different from the other sheets. This isn't a big issue, though one you may feel the need to correct, if you so choose. Other than that, it's solid. Approved-- tacticool nuns are always a plus in my book!

NAME: Daniyal Sitepu

AGE: 33

DATE OF BIRTH: July - 22 - 1939

FAITH: Islam
______________
NATIONALITY: Indonesian; of mixed Malay, Thai, and Dutch ancestry

PERSONALITY

The man known as Daniyal Sitepu was born in Aceh, Indonesia. As a child, Daniyal was always quite sickly, which lead to him favoring activities such as reading over the more physical activities of his peers. As a child, Daniyal achieved the feat of becoming an hafiz, one who has memorized the entire Qur'an, as well as an avid student of all topics related to Islam. As a teenager, Daniyal came in contact with a local bomoh, a type of shamanic cleric found in Indonesian and Malaysian folk religion, and became his apprentance, learning the ways of the shaman, and how to root out malicious jinn and other unpleasant spirits. Showing promise, Daniyal was inducted into the Brotherhood of Bomoh, and was sent out to deal with jinn and demons plaguing the people of Aceh.


Daniyal is notorious among his fellow hunters and the population at large for his rather jovial and careless personality. No stranger to the trials of being a hunter, Daniyal tries to decompress and destress himself as much as possible. He prefers a quick and easy solution to any problems that may come up on his travels, but is also no stranger to violence, and will not hesitate to make use of his weapons when the situation calls for it. However, when he is not working, Daniyal is known for being quite a jolly character, chatting freely with his clients and anyone else he comes across in his line of work. Some Bomoh have even suggested that Daniyal has developed friendships with and keeps in contact with Jinn that he has come across in his work, though he would deny this.


EQUIPMENT

Al-Qur'an - While Daniyal has memorized the Qur'an, he still keeps a copy with him, in case it need be brought out against unbelieving and malicious jinn.

Tawiz - A type of Islamic amulet, good at keeping malicious spirits away from you while you pick them off.

Keris - An iconic weapon of the Malay archipelago, Daniyal carries one that has been blessed by its use by a Muslim saint from long ago. The weapon is quite effective against malicious entities

Mossberg M590A1 - The Dutch left many things in Indonesia due to colonialism. Not all of them good, but a connection to the Netherlands has left Daniyal in possession of a Dutch pump action shotgun that is good for taking out all sorts of targets. Daniyal uses specially crafted slugs that are capable of even taking out jinn.

M1 Garand - Another Dutch firearm, good for picking off targets at a distance.

CAPACITY
______________
Daniyal has trained to have the mental fortitude to handle most anything that gets to him. He is, however, only human, and is stricken by vices that interfere with this work, such as his constant womanizing. Daniyal is, however, very capable in his work, and has never met with a jinn that has been able to match him toe to toe.

Daniyal prefers to act with precision, leaving as little impact as possible with his work, as if he were a surgeon removing the problem with as much precision and accuracy as possible while leaving as little collateral damage as possible.


Good stuff! Throw that in a hider, and it's approved. We didn't hear back from Kaga Classs, so I suppose you're our #6!



Almost forgot to reply to this! Great job, Inertia! Glad to see Jin again. Approved.


Glad to see Mother Ekaterine's return! Accepted, naturally.


Excellent character. Approved!
Oh, and I've set up the Discord. Let's try and keep OOC discussions here, but if you just need a response now, feel free to hop on!

Sheet's up! Ended up just stealing the thing from the old RP, with a few adjustments. The main post is updated accordingly. If you were in the previous RP, all you need to do is adjust the Organization and Division, as well as change the Age and Nationality to update your sheets.

Sheet and format below. Be sure to add an image and change the hider name accordingly!


If you need explanations on what should be in each section, feel free to check the hider below, and to ask if you're still not sure!


A sample sheet, and one of the NPCs already on the ground before the rest of you get here.
AYO BEST BET !!!!!!!!


Welcome! I'll take you on as well.

I think that six players should be sufficient. Any more and we might start to slow down. I'll work on stuff soon!
You know me Hawth, tagging in my interest.


Glad to have you, Spectral! You weren't around for the original RP, but I think you'll like this one.



Hell yeah, welcome aboard, Inertia!

I might be interested in this.


i also might be interested, the idea of something on the short-term sounds fun


Sweet, nice to meet you both! I might not be taking many more players on from this point, barring a few exceptions, as a smaller group typically means quicker response times.

I'll try to have a sheet template up later so people can start writing or adapting their characters from the previous RP to be in here. And of course, I'll see about having the OOC and Discord up sooner rather than later. In the meantime, y'all feel free to throw any questions or character concepts over if you like!
