@Eklispe Okay I get that outright ignoring posts is easier than reading them but I still question why you signed up for this cardgame rp if you didn't want to read cardgames?
Well at the very least if you do decide to do the duel entirely inthread then hiders would be appreciated for those posts, it would make it easier to read and less bothersome for me at the very least and doesn't take more work than typing an extra word or two. ^.^
Why did you join a cardgames rp if you didn't want to read about cardgames?
As Fuumi purged his body of impurities and armored himself for this incredible battle, Marina spat vaguely in Yuta's direction, a gesture of disgust at his general air of cowardice and shit taste in hairgel. Of course, between the constant assault on the eyes, nose, and mouth her body was putting out, there was no possible way he could remain close enough to actually get a good look at the pair. This wasn't even going into the fact that the shimmering waves Marina seemed to give off were more than enough to scramble any visual of the duel. In short, any secrets either contestant held were safe- not that Marina was smart enough to keep secrets.
She drew five cards and snickered quietly to herself. There was no way one as perfect and capable as herself could lose to this- this relatively normal human being! She may as well give this poor child a handicap as, after all, he would be needing it.
"Be grateful, serf! I, the great and powerful Princess Marina Viktoryia Kohut shall allow you the honor of taking the first turn! Oh~ho-ho-ho!"
Yeah, I'd rather post back and forth normally. Collaborative posts are really ineffecient and clunky, plus they always take up way more time than just going back and forth. Not to mention how they always seem to end up as massive ugly textblocks nobody bothers to actually read through.
I can see them as a necessity for 2 vs 2 duels, tag teams, or a similar setup that focuses heavily on multiple-person combos, but for a plain vanilla duel it feels really unnecessary.
Marina's arrival was always preceded- or, as she would put it, heralded by the thick, mind-wrenching smell she gave off, made worse by the day's heat and humidity. It was a thoroughly awful blend of hot garbage, raw sewage, sour milk, and a strange metallic note that made your hair stand on end. Her odor was, simply put, a torturous and intolerable experience for all save herself, as Marina had no sense of smell at all. Birds dropped from the sky, plants withered, and a number of the frailer students were in danger of passing out. Not that she minded, of course- Marina was under the impression that this was the world's way of showing fealty to her, and she appreciated the gesture.
It was no surprise for those who knew of her, then, when Marina emerged from the bushes at the edge of the campus, a shimmering, visible haze of overwhelming foulness preventing anyone getting a good look at her from afar. Dressed in her best rags and grasping a battered silver disk in one hand, the sewer princess was fully prepared to greet her soon-to-be subjects. Her predatory gaze settled on the spiky-haired child near the fountain... and then passed over him, because he was obviously a gigantic tool who wasn't worth her time. The other boy seemed fairly interesting, though. Striding across the field and leaving a wake of ominously brown grass, she hip checked Yuta out of the way like the nerd he was and pointed at Fuubi with her free hand.
"You there, Japonski peasant! Be grateful; you stand before the almighty Princess Marina Viktorya Kohut, sovereign of all she surveys! Ah, but I am sure your pitiful peasant brain is already melting from gazing upon such radiance as mine, so I will be making this quick."
Marina slammed the disk into her pelvis, cables winding over and under her hips, clasping together in the back just above her tailbone. The entire assembly resembled an oversized metallic codpiece more than anything. A deck holder ejected from the side of the disk as a holographic field flickered to life just above the girl's navel. She folded her arms in a pose that positively oozed self-satisfaction.
@KOgaming So, something that's been bothering me a little: Is there a reason why people without Solar Legacies still have a wish field? I mean, if I'm reading things right, you've got in the OP that only decks with Solar Legacies can collect duel energy and summon the eternal dragon or however it goes. Doesn't that mean that nobody has any incentive to fight people without them?
Duel Disk: A bootleg Duel Coat-style setup, it consists of a groin-mounted Solid Vision projector and a small arm that holds the duel disk oriented horizontally, like a small waist-height table. It somewhat resembles a lower-tech version of Jakob's crotch-mounted cyberdisk from 5ds.
Personality: Marina possesses unshakable confidence and an ego approximately the size of Jupiter. She is self-satisfied and utterly convinced of her superiority on a level surpassed only by the likes of Kaiba himself, and considers most other humans to be lesser lifeforms. This would all be a lot more understandable if she wasn't a filthy hobo who smells like raw sewage, but as it is she just comes off as delusional. That being said, Marina is also a person who firmly believes that anything truly worth doing should be done with one's own two hands, and her work ethic is genuinely impressive.
History: Marina hails from the Ukraine, a hotly-contested radioactive hellhole of a country plagued by tentacle-faced subhumans and physics-disrupting anomalies, as everyone knows. What's less well known is that almost all conflicts in Ukraine are decided by Duel Monsters, as bullets and first-aid supplies must be reserved for purging the terrifying mutants that lurk in the marshes and forests of the region. Marina herself was the daughter of local seamstress and town bicycle Nadiya Kohut, an excellent duelist and shrewd negotiator who ensured they had a decent, if humble, life. As a kid, Marina and the other local children would spend Sunday mornings watching cheap, badly dubbed foreign cartoons, young Marina's favorite being an obscure magical girl series localized as Extremely Pretty Child Olga, which taught little girls that anyone could be a princess if they tried hard enough.
Long story short, Marina took this to heart a little too hard and somehow got it into her head that, as long as she acted like a princess, people would at some point start treating her like one. Eventually, people got tired of putting up with her bullshit and exiled her. After years of long, harsh trials, repeating deportaions, and many a duel, Marina ended up getting shipped to Saotome Duel Institute so nobody had to put up with her anymore. They wouldn't pay for room and board, though, so Marina sleeps in a dumpster behind the dorms, proud ruler of her cardboard kingdom.
Wish: To be absolute monarch of the world, or at the very least the Ukraine.
