[hider=Butcher] Appearance: [img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8icUJkTHzCs/maxresdefault.jpg[/img] Species: Human Name: Butcherman23, Jacob Caldwell Title: 'The Damned Knight' Gender: Male Age: 48 Background: [hider=Real life] Having lost his father in a car crash before he was even born, Jacob was raised by his mother his entire life. Whenever she wasn't busy with work to keep them afloat, having to work several jobs to make ends meet, she would watch movies till the cows came home with her young son. As he grew older, the movies changed accordingly. It went from kid-friendly, educational type movies till it eventually turned to the horror genre which he fell in love with at the age of 12. With her also being a huge fan of the horror genre, they would marathon all sorts of horror movies ranging from [i]It[/i] to [i]Texas Chainsaw Massacre[/i]. There was not a single horror movie they would miss when it came out, even obscure ones like [i]Birdemic[/i]. When he graduated high school, a few of his mates invited him to a game which they had started playing called [i]Yggdrasil[/i]. The rest, as they say, is history as he spent the next few years juggling a job which he took to help fund his gaming and movie hobbies and his mother whenever he could, his horror movie addiction and most importantly; his game time. [/hider] [hider=In Game Backstory] 'Butcher' was just a simple farm boy growing up. His daily life consisted of milking cows, ploughing fields to grow crops and early morning wakeup calls. It all changed however when his family was slaughtered by a rogue group of knights, he alone surviving because he had been on an errand in town to collect some food for the cattle. Attempting to track down the group for vengeance, he instead came upon another knight and mistaking him for a member of the group he attacked him. Suffice to say, he was easily subdued and after a brief conversation with the knight, the misunderstanding was clear. This other knight was actually from a holy order which those knights had defected from, he had come to eliminate them before they could drag the orders name through the mud any further. After much pestering by the young man, he reluctantly took Butcher on as an apprentice and over the course of the next five years as they attempted to hunt down the group he trained the farm boy in the way of the sword and the order's code of chivalry. Eventually, they found the group but were ambushed and his teacher was murdered in cold blood. Despite all the orders teachings, he was overcome by rage and proceeded to butcher every single one of them in a brutal bloodbath that was more reminiscent of a horror movie. No matter how many times he sliced and diced they're beyond dead bodies, he didn't feel satisfied. So, still covered in their blood he moved to a local village which he proceeded to butcher as well. But even this still didn't clench his bloodlust, he needed more. But at the same time, he needed a place to hide out from all the bounties on his head and the Cathedral of the Damned was the perfect fit. [/hider] Personality: In real life, he was a rather bland man despite his love for horror, blood and gore. There didn't seem to be anything that set him apart from the crowd, he was hardworking but not ambitious at work. It was only really when he watched horror movies, with a mad gleam in his eye that he seemed to really seem different from any other average joe. His most outstanding trait how to be his loyalty and his determination to not be in debt to anyone, and if he felt like he was he would go to the moon and back to pay the debt if need be. In-game, however, his personality completely changed. The man was dead set on fighting, but not just beating his opponent down, but in actually cutting them into tiny pieces and filling a pool with their blood so that he could swim in it. He wasn't satisfied unless he was covered head to toe in the blood of his enemies, and sometimes allies if they crossed him, and even then he wanted-no, needed- more.

Ring of Greater Haste (Mythic)- A metal ring that increases one's speed Cursed Ring (Mythic)- A ring that greatly increases the user's damage output, but also has a life-drain effect while in combat. Bloody Mary (Crafted)(Mythic)- Butcher's second weapon of choice, a one-handed broadsword decorated with skulls with a blood drip effect. Has similar effect to bloodsucker, but not as effective and also had the added effect of shooting blood like a squid would ink to give an opponent the blindness debuff Flaming Cloak (Crafted)(Mythic)- Butchers signature cloak, given a blue flame effect for over the top theatrics more than anything else. Also gave his weapons some fire damage in combat. Relation to other Guild Mates: His relation to other guild members would vary. While not being hugely into the occult or unknown, he was more than happy to learn about them and let his guildmates share their various stories on the matter. But he especially felt close to those who loved the horror genre just as much, or in some cases, more, than him and generally went out of his way to party up with them whenever they were online even if it was just to talk about their favourite movies if nothing else.

She herself was the firstborn daughter of a high-ranking Demon of hell, an assistant to Satan himself. Through her father's connections and her innate talent, she was sent off to a special 'boarding school' to train the magical arts. Or close enough to one in Hell, really it was just an arena where they faced off against other 'students', demons, 'teachers' and sinners which get sent there. Only occasionally do they ever get challengers. However, that all changed one day when [s]the fire nation attacked[/s]a live human fought his way into Hell, slaughtering-no, butchering everyone and anyone/thing who dared stand in his path. Eventually, he made his way to the arena and proceeded to challenge everyone inside to a death match. Despite his various wounds from his previous fights, he slaughtered all her peers, teachers, rivals, friends. Everyone in the arena was killed, none was spared. All she could do was wait her turn in her own section of the arena and await her inevitable demise. However it never came, as when he finally broke into her room, the blood of both his victims and himself coating his armour, he challenged her. At first, he had the upper hand. Easily going blow for blow with her. But as the battle wore on, all the energy he had used fighting and all his wounds began to catch up to me. Even so, he still fought. A burning determination in his eyes and just that willpower alone made her own crumble away. Though he hadn't the energy left to finish the battle, collapsing midswing as he went to deliver the final blow. Which, if it hadn't been for that fortunate event on her behalf, would've cleaved her in half. She could've finished him off and paid him back for all the demons he had killed thus far. But instead, she tended to his wounds and carried him out of hell and back to the surface. This human...he was more demon than man. Hell, she believed he was more of a demon than herself. Believing it to be an honour to serve such a strong 'demon', she formed a contract with him to fight by his side, and protect his guild and, more importantly, his still only young daughter. Personality: Megu is a surprisingly quiet individual, despite the reputation that surrounds Fire Demons. Instead of being hotheaded, she's calm and collected. Instead of having a short fuse, she is very patient. She is also quite courteous, especially to those she deems worthy of her respect. How to win her respect? Be strong, very strong. She shows respect only to those above her station or stronger than her, but will still be polite to most she meets. Karma: -50 Class: Mage Subclass: Battlemage Level: 90 Health: SS Mana: SS-->SSS Strength: S Agility: SS Intelligence: S-->SSS Stamina: SS Physical Resist: SS-->SSS Magic Resist: SSS True Resist: SS Skills: Unarmed Fighter: SS Fire Discipline: S-->SSS Claw User: SS Perception: S Bluff: A Spells: Flaming Talons: The users hands are covered in a thick flame, taking the shape of 'sharp' bird-like talons. Hellfire Gauntlets: Cloaking the users hands in fire, it has a passive that increases the users physical strength and strength of flame based spells. It's main use is to batter down the opponent in a series of pnches however. Orb of Hellfire: As the name would suggest, it's a concentrated sphere of the flames of hell. Despite it's small size, it packs a surprising wallop and upon impact will burst into a large column of flames to deal massive fire damage. Can summon multiple at once, and be controlled remotely to home in on a target. Cloak of Flames: Coating themselves in fire, the user can lessen or negate the amount of physical damage they may take from one attack. Flame Shield: Pretty self explanatory, the user creates a shield of fire to block incoming attacks. Flame Wall: Effectively just a larger version of the shield, Flame Wall causes....well a wall of fire to erupt in front of the user and can be used to block attacks, or to box in their opponents. Fire Elemental: Summons either a singular or multiple fire elements. The fewer elementals summoned, the stronger the elemental with multiple summoned being weaker. These elementals effectively act as minions, and will range from lvl 5-40 depending on amount summoned. Max summon limit of 8 from one spell, it's cooldown lasting 300 seconds. Hellfire World: Megu's 'ultimate' spell. It causes everything around her to spotanteously erupt into flame. Spreading out to form a large circle around her and her opponent, no one can leave till she is either defeated or dispells it. While within the circle, her opponent will continue to take fire damage depending on their MRES overtime and her spells will increase in size, damage output and intensity. Actions: (Invent your own actions. In-lore, your player would know up to hundreds but for simplicity's sake please only write up to 15. These will represent "examples" of what the character can do.) Species Trait: Hell Flames-A special kind of fire that is available only to the demons that occupy the hottest areas of hell. These flames surpass that of any other kind when it comes to heat and intensity. Dark Vision Immunity to Fire: Being used to the hottest flames imaginable, unless the fire has a holy element to it Hellfire Demons are completely immune to fire based attacks, even healing a small amount of health from them. This however increases their damage taken by water attacks. Affinity for Fire, Dark: Increases resistance to and damage output for Fire and Dark based attacks and weaponry Weakness to Water, Cold, Light: Lowers their resistance and damage output for any sort of water or holy based attacks or weaponry. 'Cold' damage is also more effective against them. Items: Relation to other NPCs: Other: True to the case of style over practicality, Butcher attempts to use the Knight Class build he has made as effectively a 'beserker' type fight. Focusing on his damage output and life-steal over being able to last a fight and tankiness ability. He also knows how to fight properly with a sword, but will more often than not go around hacking slashing because it feels more like 'a horror movie'that way.

Though their relationship was highly frowned upon Personality: Being the 'daughter' of one of the guild members, she tends to view herself as above most of the NPC's even more so than her already programmed in disdainful, prideful personality dictates. Viewing them as gods have given her the impression that she herself is a demi-god since she 'carries the blood of one of the Supreme Beings through her veins'. She gives off a cold impression and delivers it tenfold, with a sharp tongue to match. She isn't afraid to be dismissive to even some of the lower ranked guild members. She holds her 'father' up on a pedestal, often getting quite caught up in her own fantasies and exaggerates about his abilities quite often. Much like her father, however, she is loyal to a fault and if her fellow NPC's were in a pinch she wouldn't hesitate to help them. Though, at the same time, she is reckless and rash. Not caring if her allies get caught up in her attacks, stating that she can 'always patch them up later'. Not even her Father was exempt from this, seeing as he was the one who programmed her to fight as she does. Like her Father, she also despises owing anyone favours and will look to pay them back as soon as physically possible.

Though it's covered in dry blood now, and slightly rusty. Though really, it was a rare item from a limited event. It boosts the user's intelligence. Magical School Clothes (Crafted)(Mythic): Elizabeth's standard outfit, it's not a proper crafting in that Butcher got a friend to fuse two rare event items together. When worn, the user gains a massive boost to all magical stats however their boost to armour is very low. Grimoire of Power (Mythic): A rare drop from a powerful boss, this item broadens the AoE that their spell directly affects. Grimoire of Wisdom (Mythic): A rare drop from the same boss, this Grimoire enhances all magical stats for the user. Spellbook (Common): A common enough book that keeps track of all the spell's the user has. It gives a minor boost to MP. Relation to other NPCs: For the most part, she views the other NPC's as inferior to herself. There are a handful of exceptions, such as her fellow guardians and major NPC's, but even then she shows very little respect and sometimes outright disdain towards the NPC's. Viewing herself as above them, as such she expects them to show her the respect that she thinks she deserves. This doesn't mean she doesn't get along with them, but probably puts a bit of strain on their relationship. Megu: She views Megu basically as her own personal servant and bodyguard, which she essentially she, but respects her strength. The two seem to have a mutual understanding and respect for another, and she almost views the Demon as a mother-figure. Kat: She views her father's Squire as nothing more than an annoyance, opting to either outright ignore him or treat him with complete and utter disdain.

He made the wager thinking he could overcome Butcher and turn himself in, only to be wiped out in under five seconds and forced to effectively become his slave. The title Squire was still fitting though seeing as he carried out the duties of a Squire, just also unrelated ones like doing the washing and wrestling bears for Butcher's entertainment. Personality: Kat has a strong sense of justice and duty, loyal to a fault Karma: 50 Class: Swordsman Subclass: Knight Mage Level: 40 Health: AA Mana: A-->AA Strength: AA-->S Agility: AA-->AAA Intelligence: B Stamina: B Physical Resist: A-->AAA Magic Resist: A-->AA True Resist: C Skills: Swordplay: B-->AA Reading: B Drawing: A Cooking: S Sewing: B Fire Discipline: C Earth Discipline: C Water Discipline: A Air Discipline: C Lightning Discipline: C Ice Discipline: C Spells: Fireball: Lightning Bolt: Elemental Sword: Water Shot: Air Cannon: Icicle: Earth Wall: Magic Arrow: Strength Up: Defensive Boost: Twin Magic: Actions: Species Trait: Magically Aligned: Kitsune are a race strongly connected with magic, thus as a result they all have increased magical abilities and access to magic. The older a Kistune, the stronger the boost to their magic. Shapeshifting: Kitsune are able to shift between a humanoid form and a fox form at will once they reach the appropriate age. Defensive Woes: Kitsune are a fragile race, and as such have low defensive stats. They're also not capability with most high defence armours. Items: Relation to other NPCs: Other: [/hider]
