Name:
KheraketAge:
17Grade:
1st year VigilanteBiography:
As a young boy, Kheraket lived with his parents in a small home. He spent most of his days at said home with his mother, as his father was out working. While he was a happy and adventurous boy, his parents worried sometimes. He always seemed to be talking to himself, instead of other children his age. Unfortunately, having lost his parents to an accident a few months before he turned ten, he was adopted by a local temple that had come to learn of his powers. There they taught him how to control his magic, and eventually, he'd become strong enough to receive spiritual guidance from his divine entity, The God of the Underworld.
Having become adept at interacting with the spiritual plane, Kheraket was given a task from his God, and in turn became a Gatekeeper between the physical world and the spiritual. The God granted him further abilities, even bringing him to his plane shortly to do so. If he proved himself, the ruler of the Underworld would grant him and his deceased parents a second chance at life.
As for personality, Kheraket matured well under the wing of his entity. He has lost the care-free nature of his childhood, and has become more stoic in his behavior. However, he has never really met anyone of his age, and therefore is very curious.
Powers:
Core - Close to Death: When brought to the Underworld, Kheraket's God lifted some number of mortal burdens from the shoulders of his new prophet. Common nuisances such as hunger, thirst, and sleep are of no worry to Kheraket, although he can choose to indulge in them if he so wishes. Additionally, Kheraket is barred from entering the Underworld, unless he does so to contact a spirit, his entity, or to draw power. This essentially means he cannot die, and also grants him extra constitution.
Secondary - Gatekeeper: Kheraket is adept at manipulating the paths between the Physical plane, Spiritual plane, and the Underworld. As such, he can draw entities from the latter planes to the first, to aid him. Summoning too many, or an entity too powerful, will be tiring for him, however.
Summoning entities who are of slight physical form, such as shades, ghosts, etc. are much easier to summon. More physically powerful creatures such as ghouls, wights, or Gorgons take more energy.
Tertiary - Soul Whisperer: Since he was a child, Kheraket was always able to communicate with spirits around him. When he does so, his eyes glow a vibrant blue. He has since learned to extend his own spirit from his body, and travel between each plane at will. When in the spiritual plane, he is still conscious of the objects in the physical world, besides its inhabitants. Of them, he only sees their souls. He can, however, hear them.
He can speak to spirits and other similar entities, draw knowledge from them, and has some amount of magical influence over them, due to his position as a Gatekeeper.
Quarternary - Unyielding Spirit: It takes a powerful will to traverse the spiritual world without a hitch. Kheraket was required to develop an everlasting sense of determination, and so he has. This allows him to fight off spirits when he leaves his body, and also helps him fight through pain in the physical world. It also makes him resistant to any tampering with his mind or spirit.
Notes/Extras:
Subject to change.
Samoth Maskono
Name:
Samoth MaskonoAge:
17Grade:
Third Year, St. Laurel'sBiography:
Samoth was raised on a paramilitary training base, with his surprisingly un-strict mother and father. Growing up, he was allowed many freedoms the other children at the base did not have. However, he largely did not choose to exercise the freedom he was given, instead foregoing it to work even harder than the other young men on the base. Instead of slacking, or staying inside all day playing games, he would spend his free time reading, learning, and developing his mind and body. He strove to be the smartest person in the room - and he made his parents proud.He didn't need his parents to be strict with him, he was strict enough for himself. Early on he made a daily schedule for him self, and generally follows it to a T. This schedule leaves little time for recreation, and helps improve his mind, body, and by extension his powers.
He followed this schedule relentlessly for years, without deviation - until his parents requested he attend St. Laurel's High School. And, having the utmost respect for his parents, he did.
Samoth's mental training involves interactive activities to strengthen the integrity of his mind, as well as the expanse of his knowledge. He studies martial arts, weapon arts, and what information he can find on magic over the web. He studies military maneuvers and strategies for multiple situations as well - heavily believing in the maxim "Mind over matter". His mental advancement, alongside his powers, provides him solid defense against mind-prodding effects.
As for personality - one would identify Samoth as aggravatingly stoic. He remains quite reserved until he needs to be otherwise, and it seems he is always watching the entirety of a situation, despite how complex. When he does speak up, however, people tend to listen. Notably, Samoth has a solid temper, almost never losing his cool, calculating gaze.
He is blunt, curt, and remote, but isn't, by definition, rude. You should consider yourself lucky if you ever catch a glimpse of a smile.
His goals - gain as much combat experience, knowledge, and self-improvement as possible.
≺ Powers ≻
Core
Magic Negation:
Samoth has the ability to disperse magic at a touch. From the major joint of each limb downwards, a quasi-magic, quasi-natural field persists within inches of his skin. This field causes the forces contributing to the existence of magic phenomena to - simply cease to function. Essentially "negating" the magic.
This field permeates other planes of existence, allowing him to touch entities that are normally incorporeal. Notably, this field gives Samoth an unnaturally chilling touch.
• This field can be turned off if Samoth focuses on it, but otherwise it persists naturally.
Secondary
Telekinetic Mass Manipulation:
With powerful will of mind, Samoth is capable of manipulating the world in ways that shouldn't be possible. He can create moderately simple shapes and structures out of an invisible mass that he seemingly conjures from the depths of his mind. He is even capable of creating and launching projectiles. However, strike against such masses will cause him mental strain and pain, depending on the strength of the strike. Strain on Samoth is much reduced if the attacks are of a non-physical origin, such as a fireball or laser.
Tertiary
Psychic Armament:
Samoth can summon invisible masses with the sheer will of his mind. This weapons cannot interact with the outside world in any way, besides the occasional case of blunt-force trauma, and are invisible to the eye. They inflict pain equal to a weapon of actual material would - which is usually a lot. These weapons disperse upon their fist contact with the target.
Quaternary
Telepathy:
Samoth can detect the consciousness of other beings within a large radius of about one-hundred feet. He can also communicate to sensed beings, if he can pinpoint a somewhat accurate guess of where they are.
Aegus Reister
Age:
18Grade:
3rd YearBiography:
Aegus is son to two wealthy entrepreneurs. Well, originally entrepreneurs - now they each are the leaders of their own powerful, collaborative corporations. And they make a lot of money. Which they normally use to shower their only son.As a result, you could expect Aegus to be quite spoiled. Except that he isn't - anymore. Because apparently the teachers at his previous private-school felt the dire need to call his parents at their work every other day to complain about the young man calling them "poor" and "low-class" all the time. Which ended up getting him restricted to only a few hundred dollars a week. Which is unacceptable in Aegus' eyes.
In an act of rebellion, he refused to go to school anymore - choosing instead to start attending a public school with less-strict curriculum and rules(not that the curriculum before were difficult, Aegus is not a dull boy). His parents wouldn't cave, so he decided to stay at Zarkov Academy indefinitely - though still with his heavily reduced allowance.
Personality:
Positives
● Competitive
● Determined
● Adaptable
Negatives
● Jerk
● Rude
● Conceited
● Condescending
Many people see Aegus as quite..."rude", to use kind terms. He doesn't seem to care much for anyone he has met - though he hasn't met many, as he is pretty new to the school. But nonetheless, he is condescending towards anyone who doesn't look filthy rich, or very powerful - which isn't very many people to him. Nobody has really had to chance to talk to him on a level deeper than him telling them to move out of his way in hall..
∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽
≺ Powers ≻
Core
Ultimate Armory:
Aegus is able to draw upon a massive armory of tools, whether they be bows, hammers, shields, bolt-cutters, etc., along with the skill and physical attributes to wield them as an expert would. The model of weapon/equipment must actually exist, and will be identical to a tool of average, but solid, build.
Secondary
Above the Mundane:
Aegus truly believes himself to be above the average person. Much above. So much so, in fact, that it manifests in his powers.
He is capable of shrugging off pain, minor injury, and even being completely or partially unaffected by some (lesser) effects, if he feels he is sufficiently better than those that would inflict these affects upon him.
However, this does not extend only to people - Aegus feels that he is above the toil of the commonfolk. As a result, he refueses to run, lift, push, etc. if outside of combat or training. Additionally, actions he will never voluntarily do, among others, are: crawling, climbing, or other taxing activities.
Tertiary
Balance and Posture:
Aegus keeps his body in nigh-perfect balance at all times - as long as he's conscious. It is impossible for outside forces to move his body unless he allows them too. He can lean and move into seemingly impossible angles and positions without strain, as he pleases. Additionally, Aegus is even capable of "blessing" mundane objects with his 'grace' - anchoring them to the spot with a simple touch.
Relationships:
Mostly Everyone - "Ugh."

Vhiskr, Children of the falling waters
Brief description
The Vhiskr are a semi-nomadic people, thriving through hunt in the Spring and Summer months, and traveling to seek shelter from the incoming White Season in the later months of Fall. In the warm months these hunters and warriors create their settlements close to outpourings or cataracts if possible, believing the falling water to be of good fortune. In the later colder months, the tribe will recluse itself to craggy outlooks when the water freezes, or if possible, will find warm bodies of water which do not freeze over and settle there.They are a people known to take poorly to others encroaching upon their territory, going so far as to attack and conquer their villages - and may even do so to tribes not intruding upon them if it seems very profitable -- though they notably leave heavily-farming communities to their own affairs, seeing them as potential trade partners. They subsist on mainly hunting, as well as occasional raiding, and mild farming abilities.
Faith
The Vhiskr believe that falling waters - and waters in general, to a lesser extent - are a source of spiritual cleansing and good health. They believe creating their settlements near cataracts causes the mist to saturate the air with the blessings of stamina, strength, and hunting fortune. They undergo rituals before partaking in the water of the land they inhabit, believing that the water itself has its own spirit, and consuming it is to accept the abundant life that it holds within. When traveling or hunting, coming across outpours or any form of falling water is a sign of affluence to come - whether it be in the form of meat, some other material, or even divine protection. It is believed that allowing streams or other waterways to become obstructed - whether by a fallen tree, a corpse, etc. is a bad omen, and must be remedied as well as feasibly possible.Deities
The River Otter is considered a sacred animal to the Vhiskr. It is a strong, swift hunter with the ability to live in harmony with the falls and flows of the waters the tribe frequents. It is an energetic, playful animal that values its young and possesses many desirable attributes. The tribe views any appearances of the Otter to be a good omen - and they are considered forbidden to hunt.The tribe aims to emulate the Otter, being fierce and agile combatants and making sure their young are well-accustomed to traveling through and alongside bodies of water, utilizing them to their utmost ability.
Government
The Vhiskr possess no true government, but greatly revere the wisdom of their elders, and the capability of their greatest warriors. This leads to a loose, unofficial council-type government where the eldest and most robust make the decisions. The Vhiskr hold many patriarchal tendencies, but the women of the tribe are still to be held with respect, for they are just as important as the hunters and warriors. While it is rare for a woman to take the role of a hunter or warrior, it is not unheard of or looked down upon. Notably, the tribe is very territorial and look at other tribes with skepticism - though they have been known to initiate trade with some tribes.Inhabited area and settlements
The Vhiskr find themselves mainly in heavily forested areas - but have previously inhabited several different environments. As long as they find themselves near waters they have always managed to find ways to sustain themselves and thrive. They build mostly-permanent settlements in the warmer seasons, and temporary structures in the fall and winter. The hardest environments for them are when the tribe finds themselves in craggy or mountainous areas due to lack of unfrozen waters.Warriors
Men of the tribe are all taught from a young age to undertake the arts of Bowmanship and Spearmanship, both for hunting as well is combat. The warriors of the Vhiskr are crafty, valuing the use of hit-and-run tactics to soften up stronger tribes before infiltrating their ranks and swiftly striking decisive blows against those left standing. They are proud archers and spear-throwers, but also possess respectable skill and strength in close combat as well. The weapons of the tribes consist of Spears, Bows, Atlatls, and less commonly Shields.Story

Operator’s name: Sava Enache
Operator’s callsign: Summit
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Sava stands 5’6” in height, and weighs in at about 140lbs. She possesses straight, shoulder-length blonde hair and cloudish-gray eyes which always appear especially watchful. These rather cold eyes often compliment the usual seriousness or emotionlessness of her default expressions. Despite being a bit smaller than most of her brothers-in-arms, Sava is still very bodily fit, as one would expect.
Psych Eval:
Sava Enache is a rather quiet, watchful individual when it comes to social circumstances. She generally doesn’t speak unless spoken to, and is likely one of the least outgoing in any group - but she doesn’t seem blunt or agitable, as many others of this stance often are. Notably, despite having experience in the tight-knit camaraderie of a Special Forces team, none have grown close enough to her to draw out any behavior beyond the usual.
There are times when Operative Sava does vary, though. Most notably, on the battlefield. When others find Sava in the midst of an engagement she almost seems like a different person - hyper-focused, stern-faced, and especially communicative with those around her. One moment she can seem a physically diminutive solider holding an angle for her partner’s backside, the next one can hear her Romanian-accented voice tearing through obstacles to her allies.
When in such situations, Sava doesn’t skip a beat. She moves her and her team from position to position fluidly and efficiently, and takes on targets with even less hesitation than expected of a soldier - and seemingly while completely devoid of ruth.

Skills:
- Evasion and Infiltration training
- Anti-terrorism training
- Multilingual [Romanian, English, Russian]
- Small unit/Infantry tactics
- Diving/Scuba training
- Mountainous traversal/combat training
- CQC training
- Advanced Combat Treating
- Romanian Spec Ops training
Personal Equipment:
- Benelli M1014 Shotgun Military md. [Collapsing Buttstock, Ghost-ring sights]
- HK417 DMR [Low-Light 4x-14x Sight, 45° Angle-mounted ironsights, Flash Suppressor]
- 9mm Pistol Model 2000 [Sound Suppressor, Underbarrel Flashlight]
- Stun grenade [1-3]
- Remote Concussive grenade [Magnetic, Adhesive, 1-3]
- Fragmentation grenade [1-2]
- A.D.M.I.S.Arm-Mounted Defibrillation-capable Medical Injection System
[Concept Art]The ADMIS is a device mounted upon the operator’s left arm. It is primarily fastened in the form of a flexible bicep-length arm sleeve secured by ballistic nylon straps. Along the outermost side of the bicep and forearm sits a hardy, rather flat but boxy enclosed mechanism system that stores the silent motors of the device as well as various other parts. These two portions meet on the outside of the elbow with a compact elliptical gyrosystem to maintain full limb dexterity. Underneath the forearm just before the wrist circles a thinner, detachable portion of the system that can be filled and customized to contain various drugs, which can be injected into the operator or her allies with more efficiency and ease than other methods.
The previously mentioned enclosed mechanism on the outside of the arm contains rather small but highly efficient silent motors that allow the array to enhance the locomotion and overall capability of the operator’s limb, granting them far greater velocity and strength in the limb when using the device.
The array also contains small, padded compartments of storage large enough to store several vials and needles. It also holds the mechanisms required to maintain a field-carried, self-charging defibrillator system.
Bio: Sava Enache was born to James Hall and Maria Enache in Texas, United States on military installation Fort Hood. The two met when James traveled to Romania for vacation in-between U.S. Army deployments. They quickly fell for each other and after a time James eventually convinced Maria to marry him and move to America, close to Fort Hood - a stipulation being that she wanted to bring some of her close family. This created a pretty diverse growing environment for Sava as she was born some years later -- a mix of American and Romanian cultures making for an interesting household.
She grew up a rather normal child, progressing through schooling perhaps a little fast. This aptitude for learning was emphasized in high school when she began to pull ahead of others of her age, soon being placed in advanced classes by her father. She continued to excel in school until she graduated at the age of 17, and soon began her plans for attending college. However, it seemed then was when her fortune ran out.
Weeks before college terms started, the family got word from the U.S. Army that their husband and father had fallen in the line of duty. Sava was devastated and canceled her application, taking time to grieve for her father.
By the time she turned 18, Sava had decided she would take the initiative to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the United States Army. She enlisted some months after her eighteenth birthday and served in the Armed Forces for five years, experiencing four tours. After her deployments, Sava returned home to Texas, where her family awaited eagerly for her return.
They had discussed it for a time, and now that Sava’s service was over, her mother and her family decided to move back to Romania, applying and receiving dual citizenship for Sava.
The young woman took about a year off from military affairs, experiencing her ancestral home for the first time in...ever. However, something yearned inside her. It didn’t quite feel like she missed her deployments, but something felt missing in her life. Eventually, she found herself joining the Romanian Special Forces.
She served among her comrades for about five years, undergoing more training and even training courses alongside other American units, such as Green Beret and Marine Corps outfits. Even though the Romanian Special Forces was a rather different experience than the U.S. Army, she felt she was still pleasing her father by being a protector of those who could not protect themselves.
However, she wanted more. She reached out to her superiors, searching for more and more ways to help those she could in her place as an exceptionally trained and proved soldier. Luckily for her, it seemed someone was listening.
She was contacted by Rainbow to be recruited into anti-terrorist operations - which she dutifully accepted.

“Couldn’t I be a bit taller??”
Personal Dossier
Name
Nicoleta Vasilica
Avatar
King Nico
Age
Nineteen (19)
Gender
Male (in-game)
Visage
Outside of Pariah online, Nicoleta could be considered a dissident individual, when it comes to her style. She possesses chest-length, dark brown hair and pear-grean eyes, which seems normal enough, but she also dresses rather boyishly; much to the chagrin of her parents. She loves wearing hoodies, baggy jeans or trackpants, combat boots, and her signature flat-bill snapback. She’s rather adamant on not wearing bows, dresses, or skirts. Despite being a rather laidback girl, she will vehemently inform you of how much she doesn’t care that you ‘think she would look prettier in a dress’.
Inside Pariah Online though, Nicoleta gets to be even more like how she dresses. She takes on the form of a boy about her age, though a bit taller, standing at 5’10”. Her green eyes and brown hair transfer over to her Avatar, though the latter has a slight rosier tinge. Her new frame is more athletic and muscled than she is, but still is noticeably agile, allowing her a measure of comfort in the new skin - something she emphasizes by only wearing medium armor. Dark blue is one of if not her favorite color, and that color palette also transfers into her clothing in-game. She enjoys making an effort to reskin gear in order to make them as badass as possible.

Personality
When Nico was younger her parents had always tried to make sure she was a respectable lady, taking mind to her manners and behaviors in order to please people who she only knew as strangers. However, the girl didn’t take well to the teachings -- she was her own person. She’s very laidback, not worrying about strict mannerisms or social subtlety. In fact, she sometimes goes out of her way just to spite her parents for fun, throwing her feet up on the table or burping out loud after drinking a soda.
Despite having a nature that her parents call ‘lazy’, she is actually quite the opposite when she finds something she thinks is worth the effort. Certain subjects and projects she can work through pretty fluently, as long as it’s fun to her; she can be either a rather slow learner, or a very fast one, depending on the task at hand.
Outside of Pariah Online, Nicoleta’s behavior seems rather boyish for a girl -- but in the game, it can actually seem the opposite; despite now being a boy, he still possesses a girlish energy.

Background
Nicoleta’s life in Bucharest, Romania up to this point has been a somewhat normal one, if a little troubled at times. Even from a young age she’d always seemed boyish in her interests, preferring action figures over dolls and shorts over dresses. This meant she was often subject to periods of disciplining by her more traditionally-minded parents. She wouldn’t be allowed to play with cars, or go on the internet or play videogames - they were for boys, her parents said. She hadn’t been allowed to do what she thought was fun.
As a result, the girl developed somewhat of an apathy and even a mild hatred towards the girlish things that were forced upon her by her parents. This even extended to hobbies and subjects in school - things she didn’t find any particular interest in, she was simply horrible at - it annoyed her to even try them.
Despite all the disciplining though, it still seemed that Nicoleta was affixed to her nature, and her parents were eventually forced to give in. They didn’t like it, but they tolerated it. Begrudgingly.
Finally she was free to do what she wanted without constant badgering. When she heard about a new gaming experience announced called ‘Pariah Online’, she couldn’t pass up the chance to get it, even if her parents wouldn’t be helping her buy it. She’d been saving up money from her job at a local bookstore, and saved up even more until she finally had enough to afford the hardware to play a videogame - something she’d been starved of for a long time.
She’s been with Pariah now since its launch, becoming just a little obsessed, and playing it almost everyday. Of course, she wouldn't admit to being obsessed - it’s only fair that she catch up on some of the fun she missed out on for those years.

Reputation
”Mercenary King” Nico is a name that may be relatively known amongst the wayfarers - well, at least the dungeoneering ones. Not due to any measure of great power, but rather because he makes it known to most he meets, even if he does so in...weird, “mysterious” ways; hand-made flyers, rumors he spreads of himself, and even gimmicky fortune cookies he hopes you don’t throw away without reading. He bolsters a mysterious exotic-weapon-user visage by not revealing his identity and disappearing as quickly as he arrives, just long enough to receive payment for his services; all the while shrouding his face in a dark blue hood.
Not all of his reputation (all being a hazy recognition of his ‘title’ to most) is due to his theatrics though, as those who hire him find his services rather useful. The nature of his combat style not only helps open up opponents’ guard for his allies, but it also looks rather flashy with all the twirling of the chain - but he assures that it’s all necessary to the technique.

Enhancement
Benchmarks (Physical)
[Weapon Manipulator]: Nico has grown capable of using his limited range of favored weapons in the way that best suits him, both through rigorous training and magical intuition. He finds unwieldy or difficult-to-use weapons to be more comfortable to him than others would, and can utilize them with more accuracy and efficiency.
[Adaptive Combatant]: Nico values adapting quickly in a battle, trying to take advantage of short openings and missteps of his opponents. This feature of his style is emphasized by his split defensive abilities; while he wears medium armor to allow for some hits to be taken, he also retains enough agility to dodge effectively, usually. Ironically, the Specialist doesn’t specialize in one type of armor, and can wear more or less armor if they deem it necessary.
[Precision Fighter]: Despite being rather adaptable, Nico’s main combat style focuses on precise and accurate deadly strikes. As a result, he is well accustomed to taking on opponents than rival or even surpass him in physical - or more rarely, magical - power. Unfortunately, this leaves him far more vulnerable than others are when facing multiple sources of attack. His Kusari-Taron is a weapon more specialized for dueling, and he has little means of defense against AoE spells or barrage attacks.
[Exotic Savant]: While Nico is a fast learner of weapons he deems ‘badass’, he is completely inept with gear and tools with which he is unfamiliar. This is true to such an extent than he can’t even wield a basic sword properly, and is far more clumsy than even the most untrained of individuals.

Unfortunately, this leaves him far more vulnerable than others are when facing multiple sources of attack. His Kusari-Taron is a weapon more specialized for dueling, and he has little means of defense against AoE spells or barrage attacks.
[Exotic Savant]: While Nico is a fast learner of weapons he deems ‘badass’, he is completely inept with gear and tools with which he is unfamiliar. This is true to such an extent than he can’t even wield a basic sword properly, and is far more clumsy than even the most untrained of individuals.
Benchmarks (Mental)
[Specialized Enchanter]: While Nico does occasionally use his Enchantment magic on himself or rarely even others, the vast majority of the time he uses it when forging weapons or other gear. He isn’t as quick with enchanting magic as some others are, taking measurably longer, but in exchange he takes distinct care in stacking many enchantments to try maximizing the potential of a weapon.
[Blacksmithing - Exotic-specific]: Nico tried blacksmithing shortly after entering Pariah Online. And it did not go well. After a couple months of weapon-fantasizing though, he eventually tried again, using his recent job for a more advanced blacksmith as a bartering tool for some training. He soon found he had a penchant for designing and forging his own derivative designs of other weapons. He has actually become quite proficient at forming exotic weapons - as shown by his very adaptable Kusari-Taron that he made himself by reforging a rarer weapon.
[Trained Guile]: While some of Nico’s sly nature seems more comedic than effective, his hands and eyes are well-trained. He is pretty accustomed to spotting sleight-of-hand maneuvers and surprise attacks or ambushes, and he himself employs these tactics, which often puts him in the mindset of searching for them within his environment.
[Exotic, even for exotic]: Nico combines his magics alongside his unique penchant for unusual equipment and weapons - something that is hard to pick apart for his opponents, and may seem rather intimidating or distracting. However, despite how many unique enchantments and styles he learns, he takes care to remember all of them and be prepared to use them on short notice. Entailed are his owned gears, whether on his person or not, and their magical enhancements.
[Tuck Away]: Nico is able of banishing up to two objects to a dimension within his mind, and withdraw them just as quickly. He must be the only one making contact with the object, and he is the only person who can access the dimension.

Kusari-Taron - Nico’s favored weapon, this piece of equipment is enhanced with Abjuration properties; able to ‘catch’ certain spells in its claws, or cut through magical defenses. It also possesses improved entangling properties, granting the wielder greater leverage even against opponents stronger than them.
King’s Scythe - A large, unwieldy scythe. Not exactly a great weapon in real life, this weapon sees good use in Nico’s hands, and is his go-to weapon for very large dungeon monsters. Enchanted to have a weight that alters based on the wielder’s need, and to conform to the elemental weaknesses of any Boss it tastes the blood of, this weapon can result in devastating cutting and piercing strikes if given enough room.

“Couldn’t I be a bit taller??”
Personal Dossier
Name
Nicoleta Vasilica
Avatar
King Nico
Age
Nineteen (19)
Gender
Male (in-game)
Visage
Outside of Pariah online, Nicoleta could be considered a dissident individual, when it comes to her style. She possesses chest-length, dark brown hair and pear-grean eyes, which seems normal enough, but she also dresses rather boyishly; much to the chagrin of her parents. She loves wearing hoodies, baggy jeans or trackpants, combat boots, and her signature flat-bill snapback. She’s rather adamant on not wearing bows, dresses, or skirts. Despite being a rather laidback girl, she will vehemently inform you of how much she doesn’t care that you ‘think she would look prettier in a dress’.
Inside Pariah Online though, Nicoleta gets to be even more like how she dresses. She takes on the form of a boy about her age, though a bit taller, standing at 5’10”. Her green eyes and brown hair transfer over to her Avatar, though the latter has a slight rosier tinge. Her new frame is more athletic and muscled than she is, but still is noticeably agile, allowing her a measure of comfort in the new skin - something she emphasizes by only wearing medium armor. Dark blue is one of if not her favorite color, and that color palette also transfers into her clothing in-game. She enjoys making an effort to reskin gear in order to make them as badass as possible.

Personality
When Nico was younger her parents had always tried to make sure she was a respectable lady, taking mind to her manners and behaviors in order to please people who she only knew as strangers. However, the girl didn’t take well to the teachings -- she was her own person. She’s very laidback, not worrying about strict mannerisms or social subtlety. In fact, she sometimes goes out of her way just to spite her parents for fun, throwing her feet up on the table or burping out loud after drinking a soda.
Despite having a nature that her parents call ‘lazy’, she is actually quite the opposite when she finds something she thinks is worth the effort. Certain subjects and projects she can work through pretty fluently, as long as it’s fun to her; she can be either a rather slow learner, or a very fast one, depending on the task at hand.
Outside of Pariah Online, Nicoleta’s behavior seems rather boyish for a girl -- but in the game, it can actually seem the opposite; despite now being a boy, he still possesses a girlish energy.

Background
Nicoleta’s life in Bucharest, Romania up to this point has been a somewhat normal one, if a little troubled at times. Even from a young age she’d always seemed boyish in her interests, preferring action figures over dolls and shorts over dresses. This meant she was often subject to periods of disciplining by her more traditionally-minded parents. She wouldn’t be allowed to play with cars, or go on the internet or play videogames - they were for boys, her parents said. She hadn’t been allowed to do what she thought was fun.
As a result, the girl developed somewhat of an apathy and even a mild hatred towards the girlish things that were forced upon her by her parents. This even extended to hobbies and subjects in school - things she didn’t find any particular interest in, she was simply horrible at - it annoyed her to even try them.
Despite all the disciplining though, it still seemed that Nicoleta was affixed to her nature, and her parents were eventually forced to give in. They didn’t like it, but they tolerated it. Begrudgingly.
Finally she was free to do what she wanted without constant badgering. When she heard about a new gaming experience announced called ‘Pariah Online’, she couldn’t pass up the chance to get it, even if her parents wouldn’t be helping her buy it. She’d been saving up money from her job at a local bookstore, and saved up even more until she finally had enough to afford the hardware to play a videogame - something she’d been starved of for a long time.
She’s been with Pariah now since its launch, becoming just a little obsessed, and playing it almost everyday. Of course, she wouldn't admit to being obsessed - it’s only fair that she catch up on some of the fun she missed out on for those years.

Reputation
”Mercenary King” Nico is a name that may be relatively known amongst the wayfarers - well, at least the dungeoneering ones. Not due to any measure of great power, but rather because he makes it known to most he meets, even if he does so in...weird, “mysterious” ways; hand-made flyers, rumors he spreads of himself, and even gimmicky fortune cookies he hopes you don’t throw away without reading. He bolsters a mysterious exotic-weapon-user visage by not revealing his identity and disappearing as quickly as he arrives, just long enough to receive payment for his services; all the while shrouding his face in a dark blue hood.
Not all of his reputation (all being a hazy recognition of his ‘title’ to most) is due to his theatrics though, as those who hire him find his services rather useful. The nature of his combat style not only helps open up opponents’ guard for his allies, but it also looks rather flashy with all the twirling of the chain - but he assures that it’s all necessary to the technique.

Ash
Name:
Ashelynn “Ash” Roselocke
Age:
24
Guild Mark Location:
Lower back - Rose
Magic Type:
Phoenix Magic, Requip Magic
Ash has displayed the ability to manipulate both of her magics at once, using one to complement the other even when it seems her attention and energy is divided between both - much to the surprise of her past mentors. She is usually seen using her Phoenix magic in a more defensive role, and her Requip magic to give herself more range, and some personal buffs.Spells:
Phoenix Magic
Requip Magic
• Calculated Ricochet:
•
•
The appearance of this armor causes Ash to don a pair of black cowboy boots that are decorated by dark gray roses upon the vamp and front quarter of the boot. These designs are followed up by a rose-styled and rose-tinted set of steel spurs on each boot. Aside from the signature boots, this Requip has been known to come with a black cowboy hat, shotgun shell bandolier, and a rose-pink bandana - but these are not always present.
Phoenix-Feather Cloak
Ash’s magic grants her a substantial innate resistance to fire. She can also extend this cloak to others within ten feet of her, if she chooses. This cloak makes those affected completely immune to Ash’s Phoenix Magic.Phoenix-Feather Leap
Ash rockets up to fifty feet in a direction of her choosing, expelling a cloud of flaming feathers in the opposite direction as she does. If she launches herself upwards, she can sustain steady flight as long as she is outside of combat, and descends slowly(or quickly, if she chooses) otherwise. The more distance she covers over the initial jump, the more energy this spell requires.Phoenix’s Ashen Air
Ash summons a clump of sparkly, rose-colored particles and sprays it outwards. These particles form a light cloud that seems rather harmless at first, but once an enemy makes contact with the cloud, it quickly collapses upon them and activates. Upon activation the particles develop an intense burning effect which makes the eyes, lungs, and contacted skin to feel as if they’re set alight. The effect is ultimately harmless, but quite distracting. Pheonix-Fire Cloud
Ash’s most potent Phoenix Magic technique, this spell summons four balls of fire where she desires. These watermelon-sized spheres are extremely hot, being able to bore themselves through stone and metal at her whim, albeit slowly. They maintain their structure until she commands them not to, and follow her commands to move up to fifty feet per second. She has a great deal of control over the behavior of these orbs and can split them into smaller ones, combine them, reshape them, and many other things. She usually uses these as a zoning tool, or to intercept attacks coming towards her.Requip Magic
Rose-spurred Gunslinger [Armor]
Ash’s only current set of armor, the Gunslinger Requip grants a few abilities that aid her in sharpshooting.• Calculated Ricochet:

Equipment:
Strengths:
• Ash possesses an unusually deep well of magic, which allows her a large pool of magical stamina to draw from. She utilizes this with efficiency.
• Ash has always been rather good at multitasking - this skill even extending to her magic. She can perform and sustain multiple spells at the same time with consistency, seemingly with little strain or loss of focus.
• Ash has always been rather good at multitasking - this skill even extending to her magic. She can perform and sustain multiple spells at the same time with consistency, seemingly with little strain or loss of focus.
Weaknesses:
• Ash has never been one to have much confidence in herself, and doesn’t consider how strong she really is. This often leads to profound issues when she lacks the confidence to face a vital situation or opponent.
• Despite how easily she can sustain her magic, the pattern-like nature of her prominent fighting style leaves gaps in her offense. She’s most vulnerable when she takes a few seconds to reload her Requip firearms, and her style is rather predictable in that even her utility spells are mostly in the form of an attack - usually from her gun.
• Ash isn’t the best when it comes to teamwork. In fact, she’s never really been on a team before - Dark guild members are hardly the encouraging type. This can cause issues when she takes matters into her own hands.

In-Character Intro
Blackwood University is a most prestigious school. Founded almost 250 years ago, Blackwood has a relatively short but rich
history - one of turmoil, but stout resilience. This resilience can be attributed to, in large part, by the Blackwood family itself. Sitting upon 500-odd acres of forested land within the Fukui prefecture, the academy enjoys a healthy swathe upon which its many faculties sit. With academic resources and utilities that trump many of the other colleges one might find in Japan, it brings one question to light - what is so special about Blackwood? The true answer, when brought down to brass tacks, is that there's nothing truly special about Blackwood. The real gift comes from the attendants - all of whom are mages.
Yes, that's right, mages. And the only reason you now know this is because you are one. Maybe you've heard whispers of such beings that've been passed down - maybe not. Not too long ago, mages held a portion of the limelight within the mundane world. Not that that matters now. All that you need to really care about is that you belong at Blackwood. A place where it's safe for your kind - a place where you will be accepted for who you are.
As for what being a mage makes you - it doesn't make you anything. Unless you harness it - which is what we're here to help you with. Surely you have a lot of questions, and they will be answered - in time. Blackwood will make sure of that.

Out-Of-Character Info
Hello! And welcome to my interest check! I've got quite a many ideas and thoughts behind this project, so I'm hoping for forgiveness in terms of how well I end up organizing this. Regardless, I wanted to check if there'd be any interest in such an rp idea, so here we are.
I'll start off by saying I'd like to hold this rp to a High-Casual standard of sorts. If I don't know you, I may check your post history to see if I think you'd fit well into the cast of players, which should number around five. Don't sweat it though, it's not the end of the world if one is not chosen to participate - it's just part of the process. Additionally, I don't expect a ton of posts a week or 5+ paragraphs per post, as I know inspiration can run dry and other factors are at play - I'd like to keep things reasonable. I'm also probably going to enforce a deadline of one week between each post, collectively. Which sounds reasonable to me.
Well, without further ado, here are some world details and a CS skeleton:
-Mika Inazaki
-32
-Human
-Sarcastic, Confident, Rusty
-Illusion Aptitude
One of Blackwood's two Magical Arts teachers. She attended Blackwood herself in her younger years, and then joined the mundane world to teach mathematics. Just this year, she reached out to Blackwood for a chance at a spot on the teacher's board - which was readily accepted.
-Heron Walker
-32
-Human
-Intelligent, Literal, Isolating
-Summoning Aptitude
Heron was employed by the school a couple years ago, and has proven himself to be a respectable mage and teacher, achieving overall rather good grades for his students, despite the vast knowledge the syllabus has him teach.
-Helen Rabidas
-45
-Fae
-Calm, Sincere, Fun-loving
-Geomancy Aptitude
Having taught at Blackwood for many years, Helen still seems as bright and as loving as she was on her first day. She has a true, hard to miss passion for her work and seems as though she wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
-Daniel Ellis
-56
-Human
-Stern, Focused, Stoic
-Calling Aptitude
Daniel is a very stern teacher, leaving little room for failure and taking a more hammer-to-nail approach to his studies than his peers. This, naturally, makes him overall less-liked than the rest of the staff - but you can't exactly argue with results. Which he very much gets.
-Abel Williams
-60
-Vampire
-Open, Fun-loving, Helpful
-Divination Aptitude
Abel has taught longer at Blackwood than any other professor on the board, and has been with the school almost as long as Michael Blackwood has been Dean. He is so well-liked, in fact, that he receives regular visits from now-graduated students who used to attend.
-Michael Blackwood
-61
-Human
-Good-spirited, Wise, Motivating
-Illusion Aptitude
-Michael has been Dean of Blackwood University for 30-odd years, the prestigious school being passed down to him by his father. He has taken great measures during his leadership of the school to keep it safe, especially in recent times when outer forces grow more.. unpredictable. He is well-liked among the staff and student body alike.
Details to be filled as I recall them.

Well, without further ado, here are some world details and a CS skeleton:
- Mages - Mages are, in truth, those of us who, at the mercy of fortune, were gifted the ability to articulate a special 'ethereal muscle' of sorts that exists in every living creature. Not only were we gifted this, but we are also, in more recent times, the recipients of another boon of chance - artifacts - which enable us to be more than just enabled. Normally, a mage can articulate their aptitude very well with training, but other schools can only be called upon for weaker spells. If one is blessed with an artifact, however, they can acquire respectable strength in multiple schools - but their aptitude will always be the easiest and have the highest ceiling for growth.
- Manaesculus - A more archaic term for the ethereal-muscle-like phenomena which is, in more modern times, referred to as "Mana". Like mundane muscles, which can work in several different ways including flexing, contracting, extending, etc., Mana has many different working functions - each different form of articulation evoking a different school of magic. Just like muscles, each of these areas can be strengthened independently, but one's aptitude will always remain the most solid and easily influenced school.
However, there is an extra layer of depth to this system - artifacts. - Artifacts - Artifacts are a result of The New Sculptors' never-ending craftmanship. The beings create until their realm overflows with their creations, and then these artifacts spill out and seek a mage. Most mages, about eighty percent or so, receive an artifact by the age of 18 - which usually comes to them in their dreams, until they consciously summon it.
Artifacts enhance a mage's measly articulation over non-aptitude schools. Normally, a mage has a ceiling for growth of
one-hundred percent for their aptitude, and twenty percent for non-aptitudes -- but artifacts enhance the lower of these figures to about fifty percent, allowing the mage to acquire a respectable degree of control over every school, should they study and strengthen themselves enough.
Artifacts are completely indestructible. - Magic Practice - The practice of magic is often a complex process. Despite the highly individualized nature behind each casting of a spell however, many mages have, over hundreds of years, documented their successes and failures in the
study - allowing novice learners to follow in their footsteps as a prerequisite to their own paths."You have to make the spell your own. Pour your will into it.
Not only that, but you also have to think logically. What is the purpose?
From what are you taking, and where is it going?
Where will the energies go if something goes wrong?
You must know what you want and how you want it.
Not only that, but you must study the energies and logistical processes required for the spell.
Casting a spell - creating a spell - is the ultimate mixture of heart and mind."
- Dean Michael Blackwood on Spellcraft.
Aside from the theory of casting and creating spells, there is also a physical element. Verbal and somatic aids are one of the first and most useful things taught about magic. By speaking pre-crafted words in the required language and making the correct bodily gestures, one can provide themselves focus-aids, and reduce the energy required for a spell. Most mages use these even late into their years - but foregoing them, even if doing so requires resolute focus, can reduce spellcasting delay and serve the caster in other ways, at the cost of tiring their Mana faster. - The Sculptor - A once-mage of fantastical power, the Sculptor fled from the world we know to what we can only assume was a realm he created with his immense gifts. After a time away from us, the machinations of his powers soon came to light as supernatural creatures, which did not previously exist, began to find their way to our world. These beings were not exactly what one would expect - following mythology and folklore mostly, but deviating in a way that one can only assume is The Sculptor's personal favor. Fortunately for us all, The Sculptor crafted only benevolent and neutral beings. Once he began to age, however, he created beings to continue his craft in his absence. Woefully, one of these New Sculptors was flawed, and began introducing the malevolent beings of lore.
- Homunculus - The Homunculi are supernatural creatures that form the basis of almost every supernatural, human-like being we know. Lycanthropes, Fae, and many more creatures stem from the Homunculus who, as far as we know, are identical to Humans in all but origin. It is surmised that Homunculi were created by the Sculptor so that he could have a more mundane and malleable being to create from - but these suspicions are unconfirmed.

While there are many supernatural races, mages come from an admittedly short list of them - though there are known exceptions.
Humans aren't exactly supernatural, but they're very much here. Most students, and mages for that matter, are Human.
Hybrids are a combination of Human (Homunculi) and one of an infinite number of other supernatural or mundane beings. They are very similar to humans, but possess small features - some more dangerous than others - that betray their true nature. They generally have very good senses, as well as features specific to the creature they stem from - whether that be a simple mole or a cat, or something more dangerous like a Gorgon or a Demon. A Hybrid's true nature can, like almost all other supernatural creatures, lie dormant in a family's bloodline for a long time.
Vampires of our world are a bit simpler than folklore might make one think. Indistinguishable from Humans, one would never know a Vampire was one until they displayed their supernatural abilities. Alongside enhanced hearing, pointy canines, and their odd ability to walk across water or up vertical walls, Vampires' physical strength and agility both rise equitably with the strength of their Mana. Additionally, Vampires are, from the distance of a few feet, capable of temporarily stealing the strength of another person's Mana. Vampires are unaffected by silver or holy symbols, but are greatly weakened, both physically and magically, by Vervain.
Ghouls are similar to Vampires in both mythos and life in our world. They grow physically stronger and more agile in relation to their Mana, and can steal Mana strength from others. Unlike Vampires however, Ghouls possess a craving for such energy, and can even devour spells themselves, should their Mana be strong enough. They hold no known outstanding weaknesses.
The Therianthropes of our world, like Vampires, are a tad different from the fairy tales. Although built in their image, our Therianthropes aren't quite as nuanced. Alongside enhanced senses and nightvision, Therianthropes posses the ability to transform into a mundane form of whatever creature their Therianthropic nature stems from - and though they can also change into a beast-human hybrid, Blackwood employs a mandatory charm that all Therianthropes wear to prevent this, as such a transformation is very rarely controllable. Additionally, Therianthropes find that the strength of their Mana enhances their bodily abilities as well. Therianthropes are unaffected by the moon or silver objects. They are, however, greatly weakened by Wolfsbane, both physically and magically.
Faeries were one of the first beings created by The Sculptor. Like in their mythos, the fae are incapable of breaking promises - at least literally. They are also sensitive to magic, being able to track it through an extra sense of sorts. Additionally, Faeries are capable of effortless flight - gaining greater speeds proportionately to the strength of their Mana. Although indistinguishable from Humans, aside from their pointed ears, Faeries are usually more petite.

Daniel is a very stern teacher, leaving little room for failure and taking a more hammer-to-nail approach to his studies than his peers. This, naturally, makes him overall less-liked than the rest of the staff - but you can't exactly argue with results. Which he very much gets.

-Divination Aptitude
Abel has taught longer at Blackwood than any other professor on the board, and has been with the school almost as long as Michael Blackwood has been Dean. He is so well-liked, in fact, that he receives regular visits from now-graduated students who used to attend.

-Human
-Good-spirited, Wise, Motivating
-Illusion Aptitude
-Michael has been Dean of Blackwood University for 30-odd years, the prestigious school being passed down to him by his father.

He is well-liked among the staff and student body alike.
