Background
Some students in Kurtzpel University were passionate. Others were naturally proficient. But Albrecht Dietrich was simply prestigious. Ever since he was a child, he had all the educational benefits that came with wealth, from tutors to boarding schools to subscriptions to multiple online resources, and he had parents that would drive him towards it as well. A lawyer? A doctor? A pilot? No, those were far too lowbrow when he stood to inherit the grandeur of the Dietrichs’ multinational conglomeration, which had a grasp that ranged from pharmaceuticals to big data, and the sheer amount of resources he had available to him served to make him one of the highest scoring students in his class, all at a small, small cost of any independence or agency.

Really, when the bus smashed into the 18-wheeler and his head splattered against the window, Albrecht’s last thought was simply ‘Good riddance’.

And when he found himself remade to the preference of a capricious Goddess, he couldn’t help but celebrate.

Maybe now he’d actually have a shot at living for himself.

Extras

• Albrecht has spent his entire life pent up, and now he’s ready to explode.
• He skipped three grades, but is currently in the body of a grown man.
• Though he acts like a dumbass, Albrecht can still be remarkably insightful when he wants to be.

The Frenzied Saint

None are more beloved by the Goddess than the Frenzied Saint, the warrior-priest who stands alone as the bulwark between all that is righteous and all that is obscene. Clad in holy sacraments and bearing virtuous wrath, their soul-shearing supplications towards the Most Holy can change the world itself, filling the blackest skies with the Goddess’s light. For Her Purest, Her Dearest, the Goddess has bestowed a sin-effacing sword of stardust that reminds the lost that their faith and effort will be rewarded, no matter how many fell beasts pound against the sanctum of the Praying.

Notable Items
Wishcatcher – A sin-effacing sword of stardust that strengthens itself as a reflection of the Saint’s own faith, capable of emboldening those who stumble and nullifying the dark whispers of the monstrous. It resonates with a radiant force, illuminating even the darkest dungeons.

Kite Shield – A sturdy, steel shield. Nothing special, but it was free, at least.

STA ⚔⚔⚔
STR ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
DEX ⚔⚔⚔
INT ⚔⚔
FAI ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔

Physical Abilities:
Swordsmanship – Powerful blows mark the Saint’s fighting style, for Champions need not worry about vulnerabilities when they can smash through a foe’s defenses in a singular strike.

Shieldwork – A stalwart warrior needs only to trust in the Goddess’s protection when put to the iron test, but the shield that the Saint bears is to protect others and to push back the enemy.

Magical Abilities:
Miracle – As the conduit of the Goddess upon the land, her miracles of healing, protection, and empowerment flows through the Saint’s hands, granting respite and renewed vigor in the glorious crusade.

Penance – As the physical manifestation of the Goddess’s wrath, the Saint can call down holy lightning and clad their blessed blade in resplendent flame in order to judge the souls of those that have erred from the Goddess’s path.

Sacrament – As the ever loyal servant of the Goddess, the Saint can empower his Miracles and his Penance by offering up anything from livestock to lifespan. Their benefactions may mean nothing to the omnipotent Keeper of Light, but who was she to deny the pledges of the faithful?

FAQ

What do stats really distinguish if there aren’t any real numbers?
• For every point spent in a single attribute, you’re closer to reaching godhood. A person with ten points in strength will be able to confident ahold and swing a sword with ease, where as someone with fifty points in strength would be able to rip a tree out of the ground. A person with ten points in stamina could sprint in armor for about five minutes before reaching exhaustion, where as someone with fifty could run from one region to another without braking a sweat. Dexterity is a weird one because it’s more of an increase of skill and talent threshold, but it also allows the person to move their bodily more efficiently so ten points you can climb a tree at above average speed, and fifty you are able to balance a dagger on your nose while climbing a tree gracefully. Ten points in intellect you’re reading a book from Twintania and learning a spell but it’ll probably take some time before you master it. Fifty points your skimming the book all the while absorbing every bit of information on the spell. Faith is a bit unique where your faith distinguishes how much favor you have with the goddess, you’re essentially going from a believer, to a practitioner, to a conduit.

What are the limitations on legends? Does a hero need to be inherently good, or can that be ambiguous?
• The Holy Goddess is not picky when it comes to summoning heroes to her world, she is a whale rolling a gatcha and praying for some SSR heroes to make her investment worthwhile. Whether your legend is a horrible necromancer with a dagger that holds one-hundred souls, or a just Paladin whom rides in on horseback, as long as you’re fighting on her team she will summon you.

How much knowledge do the characters have of this world?
• Zero, null, and I’m sure we will get some characters who have sunk hours into a fantasy mmo who will be like “Wow, I know what to do, I used to be a raid leader in my favorite game which this reminds me of.” it brings me joy to say they are surely mistaken.

What are the limits to a character’s abilities?
• There aren’t really any limits, I am fully confident that I will be able to nerf whatever broken or incomprehensible ideas some players may have. Rather than that is more so the fact that you start off as a low-tier Hero Class. And while you are gifted a tool based on your legend, you have no idea if that item will work as gracefully as you intended. If you want to be Gilgamesh and have your legend involve some sort of mage that summons weapons to fire at your enemy, sure, but with your 5 Intellect you’re gunna summon two swords before exhausting yourself. If your character is gifted a quiver that never empties, good luck landing all of those shots with 5 Dexterity. Always strive for improvement.

Will my character learn more abilities as time goes on?
• Yes, so if you give yourself twenty abilities from the starting line you probably won’t learn anything for a long time. This isn’t some VRMMO Roleplay where you need to time your cooldowns and min/max your spells, having simple blanket abilities that are useful and diverse are the way to go.


What do you think the posting speed for this roleplay will be?
• Once per week is what I was thinking, and I work full-time as well so I am capable of working around schedules. Should you go MIA for an extended time however, a GM is puppeting your character so we can get a move on.

How about the actual post substance themselves?
• Three well written paragraphs at the minimum for single person posts, six for collaboratives.

As more questions are answered I’ll add on this, but until then~

[ERode]

Most important question: what tier waifu is this Goddess?

[Versa]

Worthy of many-many rerolls.

[DocRock]

When I wrap up some college work + other commitments, I'll have a starting CS up, hopefully it'll be decent.

[OliveYou]

@13org I would say either one or two. those pictures are awesome.

[Versa]

@13org

For the time being, I think I’d like to keep it at one character per person. Pets, companions, things of that nature are okay if they make sense though.

---

All of those concepts could be cool if fleshed out well, roll the dice, or perhaps play whichever role you haven’t played in a while?

[13org]

[ERode]

Number 3 sounds more like a tactician or a strategist or a warlord. Rulers are more of a charismatic type, I'd figure, and wouldn't really ever need to be on the frontlines to begin with.

As far as potential for being 'legendary' goes, I'd say the Dark Mage and the Stalker are your best bet, but both those sound more like something with negative reputation, y'know? Sounds like people the Order of the Holy Flame would PURGE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.

[Versa]

@13org

And if you really want, write up sheets for all of them and perhaps some of the ones you don’t use can be used later down the line as NPCs. Though do focus on the one you decide on first, set that bar!

Irene Leotta

Face (Beast)
Face (True)

Irene Leotta

A tattered, dirt stained cloak covers the grim hero's body, obscuring their figure and darkening the stubbled, gaunt outline of their face. Jagged features wrought with rough olive skin stare out at the world. Shaggy hair creeps from underneath, dark and bestial as the gravelly voice that speaks from within. Straps of leather, buckles of iron and steel, and salvaged plates of mismatched mail cover the creature's body, not a single scrap of metal so new or unweathered as to shine. The belts and studs clatter as they move. The heavy, disheveled state of their attire never weighs on the graceful, springing gait of a predator. The stigmata of the goddess is stricken down their back, burning chevrons to mark the new contestant.

Age: Biologically 31
Gender: Female
Race: Bestia

Meticulous Controlled Altruistic Frugal Utilitarian
Obsessive Insouciant Stubborn Irreverent Skeptical

Irene was a passionate student of the arts, and had held interests in cinematography and film theory from an early age. She naturally gravitated towards challenge, and the most difficult questions of all, in her opinion, were the human questions. Emotions, beliefs, sensations, the facets of the persona captivated her, and nowhere did they mingle as freely as in the visual arts. Composition was a language all its own to study, with as many dialects as there were viewers. It was fortunate then, that she was pretty good at writing papers on it because she had a much harder time learning actual languages. Compared to the prodigious polyglots, theoretical physicists, and bioinformaticians she rubbed shoulders with at KU, Leotta's was something of a dim star, though a star nonetheless. Perhaps because of her relatively soft field of study she has always wondered whether or not she was added to 14-A strictly to round out the roster. Being a brilliant student all the same, she took the time to dip into some fields and was forced into others by Kurtzpel's course load. The sciences made storytelling believable when it needed to be. They also greatly contributed to pyrotechnics; she was an optimist.

Optimism served her very poorly on the day of her death. She had been looking forward to visiting the Glasgow Film Festival more than whatever stuffy academic function they had been on the way to. Her daydreaming over the idyllic (overcast) Scottish countryside had been cut short as men began to bark orders and brandish weapons. Irene had been near the front of the bus. Irene had stood up. Her token resistance had gotten a boxcutter pointed in her direction, but they had no time for a denouement. The bus rapidly slowed below 50 miles per hour. Stopped entirely, actually. No bomb under the bus went off, but that didn't make the landing any easier.

The Beast at The End

The beast folk are a meek folk, without the storied history of the other races, without the protection of their precious goddess. Their kinds are many, scattered, alike only as they all struggle to exist. The few legends shared by their kind identify this, hold up that tenacity as an identity all its own. A beast is not named so for the pattern of its stripes, nor for the length of its tail. A beast is named so because it will fight until the end, with tooth and nail and less if need be, until the last breath leaves its body. Every century brings the trials, the endless hordes of darkspawn who care little for the social classes of the Holy Continent. While the demons reave and pillage without discrimination the Huma, shepherds of the land, look on from the protection of their goddess, without care for the lesser races. No one variation can narrow down when, but in the cycles of that never ending conflict the legend of an avenger was born. A creature of no tribe in particular, usually alike to the one telling the story, who dared to stand and fight. This nameless hero is always the same in spirit, breaking steel and struggling valiantly, raging against the dying of the light until it is done. They are fated to die, it is sacrifice for others unlike them that makes their legend. They are brought to the world with the same empty hands they will inevitably face the end with, the weapons that will clutter their path means to an end, and a symbol for the transience of all things.

Stamina: 8
Strength: 11
Dexterity: 5
Intellect: 1
Faith: 0

Physical Abilities:

Weapon Proficiency

All weapons are equally worthless in the hands of this brute. Their determined strength is enough to force any blade home, and render horrific effects with striking weapons. For weapons which require finesse... Well, they're good for a few hits, right? Their dexterity is not so poor as to render them incompatible with such instruments, but their fighting style is too harsh for daintier weapons to survive. Blunt instruments tend to survive longer while being swung wildly, and so the beast has developed an affinity for them when they are at hand. Most of the time, however, a fight will be decided with their bare hands. Fighting without a weapon is no longer such an unsettling thing when you can grow claws.

Resilient Body

The beast is by no means as durable as a monster or demon, but when compared to their human self they stack up rather favorably. Wounds heal over days, instead of weeks. Trauma that should have been fatal or sent her spiraling into shock is suppressed by the flood of adrenaline and bloodlust that combat brings. In effect, physical damage is somewhat mitigated, and the consequences of injury are more forgiving in her new form.

Magical Abilities:

Shapeshifter

Less an ability and more a condition in her current state, Irene's shapeshifting has thus far been involuntary and permanent. Reconstituted by the Goddess and crammed into the class of a beast, she became unrecognizable from her human form. No longer a representative of Irene Leotta but a symbol of the Bestia people, the beast's natural shapeshifting has molded her in their image. Irene is physically indistinguishable from an adult Bestia male. Her magical capability is utterly minimal, rendering her incapable of controlling this ability beyond the default setting chosen by the Goddess.

Extras:
An enthusiastic movie nut with many guilty pleasures committed to memory.
Tends to see the world with a directorial eye. Calm, observant, sometimes forgets that other people know she's there.

@Versa
Howdy! I hope I got the gist of things just reading through the FAQ and what's been presented in the thread thus far. I had some questions but before I knew it I was putting this CS together. it took inferring a bit on the state of the Besti in the world at large (and assuming that zero is a valid attribute value) to get everything tucked together but if there's anything I can change to be more accurate to the world of the thread please let me know and I'll be happy to bring this draft in line.

@Epsir

Love the sheet through and through. Any way we can get a picture of a faceclaim however? You can of course keep the pretty watercolor as it fits her general theme, but url one in for me so I can see this unhinged woman’s mug.
