Adepts- Individuals with superhuman powers. These powers, called Septima (or Septimal Powers) come from cells called Septisomes, the configuration of which allows the Adept to control the elements, manipulate technology, grants psyonic abilities, or shape reality. However, each Septima only effects one unique area, regardless of how powerful the Adept is who wields it.

The appearance of these Adepts, which has increased in recent years, has caused a rift between these powered individuals, and the general populace. When the strain seemed to be reaching a breaking point, a rising corporation, called the Sumeragi Group, bought the majority of the world's power distribution grids, and presented their solution. Under their guidance, humans and Adepts would live in peace. The speed of the Sumeragi Group's research into Adepts was astounding, and brought many advances to technology.

However, there is a growing unrest in Adept communities around the world. National Leaders begin drafting laws in attempts to control Adepts, and activist groups begin claiming the Sumeragi group is involved in illegal activities, but these claims never seem to last.

Your adventure begins in the near future, when the Sumeragi Group is poised for solid control over major industrial points all around the world. You will play Adepts and humans in the small Asian country which houses Sumeragi's headquarters, and find out what awaits you in this brave new world.

Not gonna lie, it sounds and seems cool. The shop just makes it better. Makes me wish I'd bought the games to play when I had the chance. May I reserve a spot, for the near future?

@EvictedElement Not necessarily first-come-first-serve, but based on character quality.

Is it okay to express interest? I know our previous playthrough was a disaster, but I've learned from my mistakes (well, the more unforgivable ones, anyway).

Edit: Actually, I just looked through my actions in that previous playthrough, and I must say that I looked batshit insane to people. I'm sorry for what I did and I can and have tried to do better. If my presence in this RP is too much of a burden, I'll leave.

If you don't mind a new user, I'd like to put together a character. I'm a big fan of the Gunvolt series. Right now, I have an idea for a clairvoyant who's beginning to realize he has a time manipulation Septima.

Also, by plot relevant Septima, does that include ones like Phantasm Mirror or The Muse? If so, what does that mean for the characters who would normally possess them in the canon of the games?

(Just curious. I'm not seriously considering them for my PC.)

I have made some changes, including- spelling fixes, clarification of KUDOS, clarification of making Powers, and a fix on the math for SP buy/sell, and a KUDOS tracker at the bottom of the CS.

@RdMarquis Hello. I don't have anything against new users. Good to hear.

That would definitely include The Muse. It means that's where all their "points" went.

Would they be Joule's replacement, in that case, or a second Adept with The Muse?

And just to be clear, all of our character options have to be bought with that pool of 1000 points, correct? What do we do if there are any points left over?

@RdMarquis This is before that comes into play. Decidedly pre-Muse.

Yes. The only thing that I didn't point-budget is the equipment types from the game. I'm going to have to ask for "within reason" for that, because how you got it is as important as what it is. If you have extra points, you keep them. There's a log at the bottom of the CS.

Couple more questions (I'll try to get an application up by this weekend). Would you like us to describe any characters who might be part of our PC's background?

And are any specialized skills a PC might have also "within reason"?

Most importantly, am I thinking too hard about this? -_-;

@tobiax Oh. That'd cover any answers to a question like, "what is this character good at, especially in an exceptional way?"

”Meh. I have nothing better to do.”



Name: Rikku Akamine
Nickname: Kyuubi
Age: 21
Eyes: Red
Hair: Pink
Description: Tall (6’ 6”), willowy, and ethereal, Rikku has carefully cultivated a look that screams “mystery.” Their pink-white hair cascades in ringlets to their shoulders, and a pair of round red shades cover their equally red eyes. Their face is sharp, angular, vulpine, their sharpened teeth commonly bared in a grin, mocking or otherwise. Their skin is pale, almost white, enhancing their otherworldly facade.

For leisure clothing, they prefer stylish, billowy, traditional clothes, usually in black-and-white, or darker colors. For “business,” they wear a streamlined black combat outfit with all the trimmings, with a black-and-red haori thrown over the top. In combat, they always keep their trusty sword, Renkon, at their hip.
Country of Origin: Japan
Condition: Adept
Biography: Rikku has divided their life into two neat categories: Before, and After. And they really don’t like to think about Before.

Their earliest memories are of the slums- the ramshackle buildings, the putrid smells, the sense of loss that came from being dumped there just because their hands occasionally caught on fire. The system wasn’t willing to take in an Adept as a ward. And whoever abandoned them obviously wasn’t willing to take that chance, either. Even they’re not entirely sure how they survived for as long as they did. All that matters is that they made it to After.

They don’t quite remember how they got started. Probably stealing food, or sneaking into a bath house, or something along those lines. However it happened, eventually someone noticed, and offered a job. It started out small; open this garage at this time. Get this trinket. Pick this pocket. But as it turned out, they were good at it. And more people started to notice. And with “legitimate” job opportunities being few and far between, Rikku needed every scrap they could get.

The jobs gradually got bigger. Break into this vault. “Persuade” this businessman. Access this computer. And as the jobs got bigger, Rikku got better. Soon, the underground was filled with whispers of their antics, of the mysterious youkai who stalked the night, stealing secrets and then vanishing without a trace.

Rikku found that they liked that idea. Very much. And so they leaned into it, hard.

Nowadays, Rikku sits quite comfortably in After, with bidders lining up around the block just to get a taste of their talents (relatively speaking, of course). For the resident Kyuubi of Akihabara, business is good. And they plan to keep it that way for as long as possible, no matter who tries to put a stop to it...

Skills/Gear-





Septima-
Name: Foxfire
Element: Element Generation: Fire (100)
Color: Rose Pink


Build: Average
SP: 1/1 (2 SP sold, +150)

Special Skills: Tekka Maki (100)- Surrounds Rikku with a ring of Foxfire blades, damaging nearby enemies.

Incantation:
“Spin, stars in heaven!
Strike down these foolish creatures
With thy holy flames!”

I hate to say it, but I'm going to have to withdraw interest in this game. I haven't been able to find the time to work on my character, and I don't think that's likely to change any time soon. Thanks for bearing with me. I hope you all have fun.
