Position: Wave Controller
Weapon/Skills: Specialized in shinsoo control, able to stun opponents at mid-range & create shields of shinsoo.
@Zatoshi "Final Shadow, Full Moon" The masked man's scythe turned black & oozing with black smoke. The masked man was emitting a huge amount of black smoke, as a good amount of concentration of magic is felt in the scythe. The masked man, seemed to be going all out, in the Final attack, as the scythe was thrown towards the direction of both of them.
"Shield!" Rammus exhausted his remainder of his mana to create a magical shield that is as strong as possible. With the thrown scythe and the shield clashing with each other, he noticed some parts of the magic from the scythe chipping off into harmless black butterflies. "He don't have a weapon right now, and he's open, so now... before my shield wears off~"
What do you desire? Money? Glory? Power? Revenge? Or something that surpasses all others? Whatever you desire - that is here. The Tower of God.
Setting
The Tower: The 134 floor tower is the world of the RP, so large that its nearly impossible to put in scale, just one floor being the size of US continent. The tower is split into 3 sections: Outer tower, Middle Area, Inner Tower.
Outer Tower- The area where inhabitants of the tower are born in, the residential area of the Tower, most of them live on the same floor for their entire live.
Middle Area- The residential area of those climbing the tower, which are known as Regulars.
Inner Tower- The area where Regulars climb the tower, to ascend a floor, one must take a test to detemine whether one is worthy of getting to the next floor. Headon teleports people who seems worthy from the Outer Tower to 2F, the floor of tests.
Some terms to know
Regular- Inhabitants of the Tower who are selected by Headon to climb the Tower. To ascend each floor, they have to pass a series of tests. From the start, they are teleported by Headon from the Outer Tower to the 2nd Floor, the Floor of Tests.
Irregular- People who have entered the Inner Tower without being chosen by Headon, and that act goes "against the Tower's Laws". Due to powerful Irregulars like Urek Mazino or Enryu, they are seen as a symbol of fear.
Rankers- People who have reached the Top of the Tower and attained a rank. One or two, out of 10 million regulars, become a Ranker. Thus, they're so strong that they're seen and considered as 'gods'.
Manipulating Shinsoo Basically its the magic system of this setting. Regulars are expected to be able to use the basics (Enhancing their attacks/movements, etc) , but Wave Controllers specializes in manipulating Shinsoo. Shinsoo is measured in Baangs (or Rooms), if you can control 2 Baangs, you can cast 2 different type of spells at the same time (like casting fire & water magic simulteneously, even though its difficult). However, Wave Controllers at 2F can control only 1-2 Baangs. Rankers can control dozens of Baangs of Shinsoo.
More Detailed info about Shinsoo Shinsoo exists everywhere in the Tower, and inhabitants of the Tower live & breathe in Shinsoo. In lower concentrations, it acts like a gas; In higher concentrations it acts like a liquid. Shinheuh are creatures in the Tower that live and depend on Shinsoo. Shinsoo Resistance is an ability which allows one to resist a certain density or viscosity of Shinsoo. The higher shinsoo Resistance, the less one would be affected by high concentrations of Shinsoo. (Something like Magic Resist)
There are five basic positions in a common team.
Fisherman - The main offence of the battle, Fishermen are to dash into the heart of the enemy force and decimate their forces, usually through physical attacks.
Spear Bearer - Spear Bearers act like snipers for the team, throwing their spears with deadly accuracy, but they can also serve a purpose similar to the Fisherman's by using their spear like a staff for close-combat. Technically speaking, they take all long-range matters into their own hands.
Scout - Scouts will usually run ahead and investigate enemy forces for info, then return and deliver the information to the Light Bearers. They also help the Fishermen with offence.
Light Bearer - Light Bearers store and deliver knowledge to their team-mates while guiding them with the light of their Lighthouse, acting as Strategist/support for the team.
Wave Controller - Wave Controllers are the directors of the battle, aiding their comrades by healing their wounds, annihilating enemy forces or subtly changing the tide of the battle, all through the use of Shinsoo. There are many variations of this Position. They're like mage or something~
Pocket- Devices that provide a variety of functions that aid Regulars and Rankers in the Tower. It enables the wearer to understand different languages spoken in the Tower, and allows Regulars to make contracts with a Guardian. Other than those, it has functions akin to a handphone.
Needle - Rapier-like weapon that is generally used for piercing and stabbing. It is one of the most common weapons in the Tower. Due to the high viscosity of shinsoo, Needles are more favored than swords. They're commonly used by Fisherman and Scouts.
Observer - A device used by Scouts to collect visual data and pass the information to both Light Bearer and the Scouts themselves. It is also able to illuminate the darkness.
Spears - Weapons used by Spear Bearers. There are generally two kind of spears: the ones used for stabbing and the ones used for long range throwing.
Lighthouse - "The Lighthouse is the centre of all your battles. All information is gathered and all commands are given from here." , A lighthouse is like a computer, which acts as a command centre of the team. A lighthouse can form smaller cubes which gives Light and communication amongst teammates (Most battles occur in the darkness).
Nobles & Royalty Ten Great Families- The Ten Great Families are direct descendants of the 10 Great Warriors who first came into the Tower with Zahard. They have a strong influence in the Tower, be it monetary or political (Most of the floors are ruled by the Ten Families). They're considered the Nobles of the Tower
Arie Family - The Arie family is headed by Arie Hon. Arie Hon stays at the 100th Floor of the Tower as the head of Arie family and his territory is the largest of the 10 Great Families. This family is also famous for its prowess in swordsmanship.
Koon Family - This family is headed by Koon Eduan. Koon Eduan has the greatest number of wives and second-greatest number of children out of the 10 Families. There is a lot of veiled competition among his children and too much competition has created the 'official' fights, held once a year, after which the winners are decided to be his true children and the losers are abandoned. This family is famous for its cunning intelligence.
Ha Family - This family is one of the 10 Great Families, it is led by Ha Yurin. The well-known Princess and High Ranker, Ha Yuri Zahard, comes from this family. They are known for their enormous strength.
Bidau Family - The Bidau Family is headed by Po Bidau Gustang. This family is famous for its Research Association.
Eurasia Family - This family is well-known for their ability to manipulate Shinsoo and for producing the strongest Princess of Zahard to date, Eurasia Enne Zahard. This family is led by Eurasia Blossom.
Tu Perie Family - This family is led by Tu Perie Tperie. This family is known for Light Bearing.
Ari Family - This family is led by Ari Han (not to be mistaken for Arie Hon).
Yeon Family - This family is led by Yeon Hana. None of the 'descendents' of this family actually possess Hana's blood, as Hana is a virgin. All descendents are actually the children of Ilarde, known as the 'godmother.' This family is known for its female members' tendency to look down on men.
Hendo Family - This family is led by Hendo Lok Bloodmadder. All members of this family except Bloodmadder have short lifespans due to a pact that Bloodmadder made with a Guardian in exchange for eternal life. However, this family has the greatest number of children out of the 10 Families. This family has the fewest Rankers and the least influence in the Tower among the 10 Great Families.
Zahard Princess The Princesses are a sect of elite females chosen to serve Zahard, as the obligation for receiving his grand power. They are the "ultimate species" and a Princess is chosen every several hundred years. "They are an existence which, at times, serves as a sword to defend the authority of the King and at other times, is worshipped by the citizens of the Tower". The Princesses (informal and formal) are governed by a set of Rules: 1)They must not have a relationship with a man. 2)They must not marry. 3)They may not have a child. 4)They must not help an enemy of the Empire. They are considered 'adopted childrens', as none of them possesses Zahard's blood. Despite so, the Zahard family is considered the strongest family.
Others Rules: 1)Notify me if you're going to be away, it will be more convinient that way. Also, if someone's inactive for 7 days without notification, that character may possibly be considered dead~ 2)Feel free to ask questions here ^_^ 3)You can jump in after you created your char, ima just let you know if there's anything wrong :) . otherwise, no worries about that, 'cause I'm personally rather bad at making chars too >_> 4)As long as there's people I will GM this thread, even if there's only one people left.

@Zatoshi The attack hit, as the masked man raised his hand forward to create a last-minute magic shield. It didn't work very well, for the fact that his right arm gets ripped off.
"One more arm to go heh!" Rammus let out a slight smirk over the slight success. He wasn't really expecting for all this to be over after a flashy attack, considering how capable the masked man was.
"From this point, I won't be going easy," The masked man stated, with a serious tone. "I'm one of the people who received one of the Atticus' Shadows, and once I fully merge with this shadow, my existence will burn away bit by bit, so its either you or I who shall fall from my powers."
At that moment, the masked man was no longer freefalling, he was floating in mid-air, his figure seemed to be more smoky & shadowy. "Third Shadow, Half Moon" The masked man sent out magical waves similiar to the one he previously used, but this time there are two of them, surging towards the two of them.
Rammus swiftly fired a few arrows at the magical wave that is heading towards Irita, weakening the magical wave significantly. Little did he know that there is another one which is descending right on top of him. It was too late for him to do anything, as he raised his hand in the last instinctive act as he get consumed by the blast. ('huh... I get this shyt now...') A disk was formed in front of his hand, blocking most of the blast, though exhausting him of his mana. But, for the first time, Rammus had actually casted magic.
The RP will be based off the manhwa Tower of God. It will be AU from the canon. The RP revolves in an enormous 134 floor Tower, one floor being the size of USA. To ascend a floor, one must take a test (something like Hunters exam/chuunin Exam), and at the top, it is said that anything you desire, be it revenge, glory, wealth, power, or something more, is found there. We begin at 2F, the floor of tests. Regulars (people who are climbing the tower) are usually selected by the guardian Headon, but those who aren't chosen are known as Irregulars.
^And that's the summary of the setting, hope its clear enough for a interest check. Sooo, anybody interested?
@Zatoshi "Just like the gunman just now, you blocked this," The masked man guy stated untiil he looked down to see a broken arrow lying on the side, "Or I should say, both of you." The masked man held his scythe tightly, which is emitting a good amount of magic force, ready to strike at any moment. Black oozy smoke was seen around the masked man.
He leapt upwards, having the view of both Rammus & Irita, raising his scythe & making a large slash, "Second Shadow, Cresent Moon." Black magical wave oozed out of the tip of his Scythe as a large cresent shaped magical attack descended towards both Rammus & Irita.
('Shit, he's strong!') Rammus, grabbed three arrows together, placing it on his bow as he can notice the larger sap on his mana. But, it doesn't matter now from a situation like this. The three arrows hit the masked man's magical wave, clashing and neutralizing the magic attack. "NOW!" Rammus signaled Irita as the masked man seemed open to attacks. ('seems like his attack is worth three of my arrows...') He thought. The cowboys are idle, but by then its clear and obvious that they're controlled against the cowboys' will by the masked man.
@Zatoshi The plan gone well, or it should be said, 'too well'. So smoothly as if they're actually intending to lower down their own numbers. Rammus'd got to shoot the gunmen one by one, but he felt something weird, like their overall battle power has not decreased by a bit. Its like, their magical force is increasing the lesser their numbers. ('Never mind, ima just continue shooting...') He thought.
"Stop," The masked man from the back lines of the horsemen stated with an unnatural deep voice, and the cowboys stopped immediately without delay. He walked towards the front, meeting Irita face-to-face. "I shall deal with 'them'" his dark hoarse voice echoed with a dark magical aura. "First Shadow, Black Moon." The masked man swung out a scythe which was screaming literally, sending out a strong wave of magic towards the direction of both Irita & Rammus.
('Tsk... I knew this was coming...') Rammus fired his bow at the magical blast in an attempt to intercept the magical wave. But, the masked guy seemed to be strong enough to 2v1 the defenders on equal footing, and a mere arrow of Rammus', seemed to only weaken the magical wave.
"Alright, I got it," Rammus replied as he predrew his bow on cover, then getting up and firing at another one of the cowboys, then drawing and firing another arrow to another one, after that, he took cover from the gunshots. "I'm getting the hang of this now, I will support & loosen the numbers from the back lines. And... you think of something, maybe using your black wave whatever magic attack~" @Zatoshi
