@Zarkun@Etherean FireThat's also going to depend on factors I cannot mention. If certain choices are not made, then it won't happen, but I can tell you that it won't happen for a long time. I say long time because it's taken us about 1-2 months to do this mission? lol

Bio
Hello all. I am an experienced writer who is writing my own fiction stories on the side. I can role play any genre. What I love most is being able to go-all-out when weaving tales with other writers. It just makes the story more interesting, so I can't wait to write with you. :)

@Etherean FireIf things were different, then things might have turned out different. We lost a lot of players, the teams are smaller than what they were starting off, which made the bosses harder than what they would normally be. If we had retained the people we had, then Team Three would have been strong enough to handle Odin right there, but it wasn't possible. There's another reason but seeing as this mission isn't over yet, you'll see all the faults at the end of the mission.
@Holy Soldier It's not really the same character. Actually it's not the same character at all. 90% of the time, the character is different. Either in attitude and looks or simply in attitude.
If it bothers you, I'll change the name. I go with that name because I like the name. Nothing more.
I'll go with the other name that I totally love so no problem with that.
Also. Criticism is good and is taken positively as long as it is constructive criticism and not simply criticism on the idea that " I'm the boss, I do whatever I want and I don't care about your opinion ".
Look at it please and give me an opinion :)
Quick question (for my own curiosity) Oni(demons) exist and Oni are technically human. Could a person that had a guardian spirit, to be turned into a Oni and still retain the guardian spirit ? (No.)
Oni I've re-read the whole post to be sure I didn't miss anything.
EDIT : Do mythological creatures exist in this world ? Like...idk...Kitsune ? (Mythical creatures, magic, etc. Only exist on Mahoushima where the Amrita deposits exist.)
I made my comments in yellow.

Team One
Velvet quirked a fine brow at Quina and her/his mannerisms. The toad didn’t know what he/she was talking about and she had no idea why he/she had been near the Abandoned Castle in the first place. The Witch of Elrit hadn’t been aligned to Ringford or Raganival despite her sister Gwendolyn being a part of the latter. The strange toad made her curious. She wanted to learn more about her/his purpose here in the woods. As Quina declared she would prove Velvet wrong by eating the fairies, and then went charging off wildly into battle without a pinch of strategy, the witch rolled her amethyst eyes and sighed.
What a buffoon, she thought.
Gripping her chains, Velvet followed after Quina. The creature she figured to be suicidal or stupid. He/she charged right in without thought. The witch frowned a little in frustration at Quina’s tactics, but she would help her/him if she must. The only possible way she could think to do so was to leap onto the toad’s shoulders. The witch’s hood and skirt rippled in the breeze of Quina’s sprint as she rode on her/his shoulders feeling no heavier than the absurd clothing already on the toad’s back. The archers were taking cover beyond the trees, and while Velvet had every urge to abandon Quina to skewer them, she knew that her actions would be for naught if the fairies managed to kill her new steed. What a bother. Velvet used her chained psyphers as a shield for Quina, knocking away any arrow that soared toward her/him.
Four of the closest fairies started to run and retreat toward the farther other three as Quina and Velvet drew close. Velvet snapped her chain at the back of the closest runner’s legs. The fairy screamed as she felt the stinging pain of her flesh splinting open. She collapsed face-first in the grass and scrambled to recover her bow. She rolled over onto her back with a desperate arrow nocked and aimed at Quina to loose it at the dreadful fork-wielding creature.
Total Enemies: 7
Minions: 7 – Ringford Fairies
Location: Fighting Quina Quin and Velvet.
New Companion: Velvet
Team Two
The green plumber as agile as he was was not so agile to be able to dodge a bullet. He suspected a threatening motion and reacted naturally, his body recoiling defensively at a split second and catching the bullet in his shoulder. The evasive maneuvers he executed to avoid any further rounds after that had been successful. If he had chosen to block the rounds with his power hammer, then the dense wood might have been a better sacrifice than his own body. Weapons and tools were always repairable.
The round directed at Samus struck her armored chest. The damage she sustained would be minimal due to her teammate not having the damage to significantly penetrate her defense. The round would have left an annoying hole in her armor, and a small bruise where it had penetrated.
Hapu had time to see her team was taking fire and successfully evaded the situation before she too would have suffered.
Oswald’s eyes were wide when he saw a strange sphere of light soar toward him. He didn’t know what it was, but it terrified him to have caught him in a most vulnerable position. The green plumber shocked him. Even after taking a hit, he swiftly advanced on him with his hammer not to attack him as he had feared, but he deflected the light aside.
General Brigan halted on the steps, the grin that had been on his face slowly dropping into uncertainty as the grenade flew toward him.
Purple flames swelled and billowed about the general, the blast sending tremors throughout the castle. Oswald was kneeling, his lips parted in confusion. Why had Luigi saved him from that? Whatever magic that was? The green plumber then explained:
We’ve been lied to! Oswald is NOT our enemy! Take that traitorous giant backstabbing snake down!
The pillows of smoke and swelling void energy burst as General Brigan stepped through it. Purple energy scattered like wisps about his extended arm, his hammer dropping just above Luigi’s head. Oswald’s body combusted in black fire as he blurred into Luigi, the flames capturing him and swiftly moving him back to the bottom of the staircase. The hammer shattered the top of the steps, leaving a cracked crater in the floor. The general was red-faced and teeth gritted in fury.
“Traitors! Is this the help I get?” General Brigan growled.
The charged shot from Samus struck General Brigan in the chest and seemed to blink out as though it were absorbed by some uncanny shield. The kick Mudsdale gave to the back of the general’s knees did nothing to cause him to bend. He appeared to be…invincible. The general laughed at their lousy attempts as he raised his horn before his lips.
“You weak fools can’t kill me,” he declared. “I will bring this entire castle down in flames!”
Oswald had Belderiver against Luigi’s throat and his gauntleted hand twisted into his collar. The Shadow Knight’s red eyes were shrunk in fury and pale face contorted in a mixture of anger and fear. It seemed at first that Oswald had saved Luigi from Brigan, but then the tables had turned to have the knight at his throat. He had him pinned beneath him, his hands shaking in adrenaline and various emotions the predominant one being rage!
“Command your units to stop chasing Myris (the Pooka) and to stay away from my wife or I will kill you and every single one of your soldiers as Brigan does!” Oswald growled. “If any of your units attempt to attack me before I get your answer, my blade will take your life and soul! Do you understand? Call them off and I will tell you how we can defeat Brigan!”
Brigan drank deeply from his horn and tilted his head back. He spat a stream of fire at the ceiling of the castle and inferno spread like flames. It expanded like a fiery blanket, touching wall to wall before it dripped in a blazing rain. Flames engulfed any tapestry in the castle, the dust, the cobwebs, and the furniture. The oxygen in the chamber would soon be depleted if the fire wasn’t doused or the team remained where they were.
Oxygen depletion in 2 turns (if nothing is done).
Team Three
The five Valkyries had been hovering like vultures, waiting for the cyclone to snatch the fox up. When it had, the one who Fox had scorned grinned wickedly before raising her spear with every intention to dive into the cyclone and seek out her revenge. The sudden gust of Naija’s swift passing sent the Valkyrie whirling. As Naija banked around the cyclone, riding its swirling currents, the Valkyrie hadn’t seen the fox’s acrobatic performance or the searing-hot beam from his blaster that split her head right between the eyes. The Valkyrie popped into phozons along with the four others who had been startled by Naija quickly darting around them. They had been watching her flee and hadn’t noticed the log that smashed into them. The whiplash had been so powerful that their spines were instantly shattered causing the four final warriors to erupt into phozons.
Meanwhile, the landing had been more than rough with Odin’s massive form crashing like a meteor into the earth. It had been the numerous bone-chilling screams of the enraged black Valkyries that had awoke Mario from his temporary daze. As much as he wanted to imagine the battle had been a dream, this wasn’t Dreamland. Mario had been lying next to Odin, his body having shrunk back down to size from absorbing the impact of the fall. Patting the dusty earth, his hand found his hammer and with a grunt of effort, he forced himself to his feet. He had to run. The Valkyries were swirling over his head like a black cloud. Shouldering his hammer, Mario attempted to sprint to get as far away from Odin and his servants as possible.
The unit of nineteen followed him closely. Mario glanced over his shoulder and couldn’t help but feel slow. Luigi had always been the faster one between them, and Mario just the hefty one more suitable for breaking skulls. If only he could fly, he would have shot out of there like Superman. In the distance, he saw another strange flying being. Mario frowned at first, wondering if it was a Valkyrie who intended to intercept him, but the Valkyrie was blue and had a giant log floating behind her. Blue…fish girl!? When could she fly? He was relieved to see her regardless until a sudden pain shot through his back and made every organ in his abdomen clench.
Mario’s next pant left him in a burst of blood as he slowed in his run to peer down at the blue crystal that was protruding from his stomach. He dropped his hammer, leaning his weight upon it as he turned to see the swarm rushing toward him. Baring his teeth as blood dripped from his lips, his blue eyes shrunk ferally. Mario bellowed at Naija:
“STAY BACK!”
The black Valks passed over him like a screeching wave. Six Valkyries were whacked from the swarm, flipping and twisting in the sky from the bone-shattering smacks of Mario’s hammer. With his weakened state and their armor, he had only managed to stun them. As the wave cleared, the black swarm curved like a crescent upward into the sky. They left behind a red plumber whose clothes were ripped and torn, flesh slashed and split open by numerous cuts from their psypher weapons with three spears protruding from his back. The plumber was hunched over on his knees, hand still stubbornly clenching his hammer. His hat was missing.
The red garment had been snatched up by the Valkyries who greedily fought over it like a prize. They tugged and pulled on the material until one Valkyrie smacked the other, the victor now wearing Mario’s cap. Wearing it like a commander’s crown or rank, the Valkyrie screeched and pointed down with her spear at Mario.
Mario was watching his life flash before his eyes. He could barely focus on what was real and what wasn’t anymore. The air was cool where his wounds seeped and he knew he was growing colder because…well…he had died many times but he usually had an extra man on him. Mario hissed in frustration. He went through all of this trouble to better himself just for his life to end after. Mario brought both of his hands to his hammer and shakily rose to his feet.
“Go!...I’ll buy you guys some time,” Mario rasped. “Tell them he’s coming!”
He knew he was a lost cause and if Naija attempted to save him, then she’d only endanger herself for no reason. Mario couldn’t even find the strength to lift his hammer. The swarm was looping around again and he bore his teeth in preparation. He would beat them with his fists if he had to.
You better fuckin’ survive, little bro, Mario thought.
As the swarm came before him like a great blackness, they suddenly parted. An enormous, blue spiked ball that looked like an overgrown crystalized morning star descended over the red plumber, engulfing him in a blue light.
“Mama mia…” was the last awe-struck word that left Mario’s mouth before the giant psypher crushed him and caused the earth to collapse beneath its mighty weight. The colossal ball had a thick black chain that snaked all the way to the gargantuan hands of Odin who had recovered to his feet. He had caught four of his Valkyries in the attack, and whether he cared or not could not be deciphered through his black helm. Phozons rose about the spiked ball and with a jerk from his chain, the ball was retracted. He caught it against his palm and held it out like a demi-planet. The crystal glowed a bright blue and the phozons, including the unique batch that were red and not the usual purple, were sucked up into what was revealed to be Odin’s enormous psypher weapon, Balor [Reference].
The Demon Lord tucked the weapon away much like Mario would his hammer and crouched. Springing into the air, his tiny wings fluttered, carrying the godly boss back on his way in the direction of the Abandoned Castle. The Mario Valkyrie gazed up at her lord flying overhead and ordered her units to loyally follow as they had done before. Demon Lord Odin was once again on his way to the Abandoned Castle.

This GM post reveals the results of team decisions/consequences.
XP Initiated!
Keep track of your word count XP. Overall XP will be awarded at the end of every battle. This does not include Battle XP. That will be totaled at the end of the mission and gifted out.
Try to write your posts without quoting other characters. When I put people's posts in the word counter, I erase the quotes of other characters, and that seems to lower the word count depriving players of XP. So try to write without it. When XP isn't initiated, then using other character quotes doesn't matter.
P.O.
If a player is inactive for more than 3 days, then the player can be skipped over on the 4th day.
Team One Order: Slayer, Quina
Team Two Order: Luigi, James, Samus, Hapu
Team Three Order: Naija, Fox
Be sure to re-read the scenario rules found here. Good luck!

Since we have a while before it's my turn to post, I'm going to go against what I said because this needs to be fixed or the consequences are not going to be kind.
@Bright_OpsYou need to rewrite your post. The main battle is on the second floor staircase. General Brigan is right behind the group and he's taking his time walking up the stairs. I'm going to tell you now that Luigi is nowhere near fast enough to be trying to dodge bullets and that's all I'm going to say to that. Re-read the GM post thoroughly and then fix your post or I'll be dictating in my GM post what happens.
@LmpkioYou out-right ignore the rounds that were shot at your character. You also haven't had any clue where the battle was since the last GM post. The rabbit Samus and the others are chasing is on the second floor. How do you access the second floor? The staircase where Luigi is fighting Oswald. You completely ignore ascending the staircase after the rabbit and you ignore the rounds deflected at Samus and the rest of the team. If you leave your post the way it is, then I will be taking over and dictating what happens to your character if it is not fixed. Samus has not passed Oswald. In fact, you don't even mention passing him because you don't even acknowledge him. Oswald is not going to let Samus and the others pass him easily, thus why he used James's rounds to attack her and the group. Please re-read the GM post all the way back to at least the last GM post where the fight between General Brigan and Shadow Knight Oswald first began if you have to and make changes. You have been constantly writing false information such as General Brigan wielding a sword versus a hammer. You're attempting to have Samus use her charge shot on solid stone steps as though you were hoping they were made of wood. This again ignoring the fact that your character would have had to have already ascended the steps just to even pursue the Pooka.
@LugubriousYou need to decide where your character is. You posted him at the bottom of the stairs and never write a transition of when he moves from the bottom of the stairs to the second floor. So why he is hoping to blow smoke in Oswald's face when he isn't even on the second floor is beyond me. It's not even possible. Also, General Brigan never had any rounds deflected at him.
You guys have until @ToadRopes posts because as soon as he does, I'm going to be writing up the Team Two GM response and I'm going to write it based on what I see.

@Mr Allen JActually, you know what, I won't do it. I'm already stretched thin. v_v Maybe if one of the games I'm currently in dies, then I can join another but this dude's game is still kicking despite the lengthy delays.
@DemousI'll edit the explanation to say people can have mythicals too.
@DemousYou can have mythical creatures as your guardian spirits. Guardian spirits are mythical already.
Last couple questions before I really start on my CS.
Do the Guardian spirits have to be real animals? What are you planning?
How will Primary and Secondary be differentiated? Are they a matter of skill? Primary is just the one you mainly use and the secondary is the one you would use if the primary wasn't available. If you were disarmed or maybe an enemy requires the secondary weapon to be used in order to defeat said enemy versus the primary. It's a matter of preference in battle.
And can Demons be killed without a guardian spirit? They can always be killed without a guardian spirit. No one said you had to have one just to be able to kill demons.
