@Ti
Folllowing a couple of the adjustments that we made, you're good to go! Excellently written. In terms of Ashon's fruit use, just be aware that you're expected to choose either fortune or misfortune before a given fight begins.

@Emeth
Both of yours are approved and very well done. Small addendum: I'm assuming that the ones blacked out from Raffi's sheet won't be coming into play. If you'd like to, for some reason, clear it with me and your opponent first, please!

@YummyYummy
All approved, though I'll note that the wording on a few of your sheets regarding Yuri's Special Sauce makes it sound a bit like it's being used twice on each other food item. Might ask for some clarification on Pluurii's first item as well.

@BlackRoseSiren
Esmii's looks good, but I might add that Chuck's Wand will never deal more than significant damage. For Lunara, this description of Thunderchild is too vague: 'Mechanical effects: Raises the RAS of the caster for rolls.' Please include its full effects.

@Th3King0fChaos
Maybe just a note, for your information: if Desmond gets a particularly good sip o' the Prime, he can hold onto that for up to three rounds as long as he's not stacking it. I also made some changes and clarifications to the burrito and pescoberry tablets as well as Billium and Coldfire. Best of luck!

“Fame, fortune, its free to those willing to cast the die first.”

♫

P E R S O N A L I T Y

❖ [Audacious]
Nothing ever good came from playing things safe, Cawuio-Zast knows this better than anyone. Inaction and passivity result in a stagnating life void of spice. Cawuio-Zast is well aware of the life he would be living if he hadn’t been daring. Now he swears his life by that virtue.
❖ [Adventurous]
What lies beyond the horizon? Wealth? That sounds nice. Danger? He could only hope. A new chapter in the legend? Now that is worth dying for. Cawuio-Zast welcomes the dawn of a new day, whatever it may bring. He is unusually fond of bogs and swamps.
❖ [Roguish]
Cawuio-Zast is not above breaking the law to achieve his goals although it not usually in a malicious manner. In his mind he is just having a bit of fun. What a boring world it would be if everyone followed the rules all the time.
❖ [Greedy]
Cawuio-Zast loves the glint of gold and the feeling of a valuable item dropping on his lap.
❖ [Charitable]
Cawuio-Zast was, at one point, the biggest donor to the Grønhalle to the bewilderment and respect of the local Eskandish student body. Money is made to be spent and enjoyed. So although he has made a lot in his endeavors, Cawuio-Zast always seems to have shallow pockets.

C H A R A C T E R A P P E A R A N C E

Cawuio-Zast has the stance of a proud, if not a little short, Cazenax. His chin is rarely seen below the horizontal line, not from a need to look at those around him, but simply a matter of pride.

In terms of attire, he does not immediately come off a Cazenax. Some have even mistaken him for a unusually thin and poxy Hegelan on this fact alone. Cawuio-Zast dresses like a swashbuckler, for lack of a better term. His threads mainly consist of custom-made Perrench clothing and not the cheap kind. Although, time spent on the open ocean and in the strangest places known on Sipenta has given them a well-worn feeling.

But the standout feature of Cawuio-Zast is his green skin. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the Festerblood he developed. But he doesn’t look too bad for his condition due to his Mender secondary blood type. He still looks chipper and not diseased by any means.

L A N G U A G E S

Cazenax
Perrench

T H E G I F T

Contrary to his Ersand’Enise contemporaries, Cawuio-Zast learnt dark magic first. Due to this, he is unusually proficient in that school. His following studies were made on a need to know basis. If he saw a need for a spell in his adventures, he would learn it.

The exception to this is the Chemical school from which Zast learnt self-defense spells. He particularly favors the gaze and touch spells.

B A C K G R O U N D

Born poor, weak, and starving in the lowest classes of An Zenui, Cawuio-Zast thought nothing of it when he began to encompass a green rash across his skin. Disease catches up with everyone, particularly those without the spare funds to buy medicines. He would either pull through this plague or perish to it, that was life. Death catches up with everyone one day.

But it persisted, neither killing him nor ever recovering from it. To make things stranger, no one else in Zast’s immediate circles caught the disease either. Even laymen in the study of medicine could tell that this was strange and it drew the attention of Cazanax scholars.

Cawuio-Zast was told that he had Festerblood. He was about to say he knew where he caught that from, before he was promptly informed that it was a mana type he was born with. Due to its rarity and the extra magic capabilities it provided, the young Cazenax was promptly taken away from the slums he called home to the top academy in An Zenui. At the academy, he would study dark magic and be treated for his affliction while being studied in turn.

Zast was not much for books or studying at all really, but he took to dark magic pretty quickly. To manifest anything he wanted from nothing, that was the lap of luxury. Endless opportunity, endless results, a wandering mind could picture anything. It was only a matter of time before he got a genius idea. Zast began to religiously summon items from the VOID with a particular result in mind: a cure to the Festerblood. Tnen day he found it. Zast pulled his arm out of the VOID to find a slice of creamy cheese in his hand. Not knowing the consequences of its consumption, he ate the entire thing immediately.

The next day, Cawuio-Zast woke up completely fine. Aside from the green skin, he felt completely healthy to a state the scholars of the academy could never achieve. Finding new ability and freedom in his cure, the Cazanax took to the nearest ship out of Calanast. The rest is history for the making.

“Did I ever tell you about that duel I had with Snattlejake Rake? A top agent of a mysterious assassin group, I’ll have you know. The man was expecting me to cast spells or something, but I just shot him instead. Only took one bullet. Funnily enough, they’re weak to bullets just like you and me.”

“Did I ever tell you about that time I did a panty raid on a temple of Ahn-Eshiran? There I was, trying to run from a bunch of nuns wielding scythes and, let me tell you, they were gaining one me. That was when I got a brilliant idea, I summoned a tipped-over barrel at the top of a hill.”

“So there I was, dancing on top of this barrel, just trying to stay upright while it keeps getting faster. Meanwhile, I look behind me and then nuns are practically tripping over themselves trying to keep up. Death couldn’t catch me that day.”

M O T I V A T I O N

Cawuio-Zast is out for money, danger, and legacy. Not necessarily in that order.

I N V E N T O R Y

Cawuio-Zast travels light. He has his daggers, his lucky flintlock, and the clothes on his back. Anything else can just be conjured after all.

S T R E N G T H S & S K I L L S

❖Good Eye: Cawuio-Zast is a good-shot.
❖ Charm: Speaks for itself really. But his internal chemical magic doesn’t hurt his odds.
❖ Lucky: Always seems to find himself making it out of dangerous situations by the skin of his teeth.
❖ Gift of Gab: Has a way of getting good deals on things.
❖ Man of the Road: Zast is well versed in traversing unknown destinations.

W E A K N E S S E S & F L A W S

❖ Poor judgment: Never learnt what it means to make a safe decision.
❖ Impulsive: Will do things on a whim constantly.
❖ Criminal: And has the record to prove it.
❖ Vagabond: Should his travels meet him with a bad fate, he has no place to return to and no place to run for safety.
❖ Royal lineage?: He could be the son of King Rouis of Perrence. While it is considered a rumor, this could land him in hot water very soon as he decides between serving in his father’s war or sailing the high seas to create his own dream.

A P P E A R A N C E

Yoshitsune stands at a bit higher than average height and well-built with lean muscle. His thin, patchy beard, his unkempt, tied-back hair, and his tanned skin befit a traveler but work entirely against his history as a noble. In contrast his clothes and swords are well-kept and tidy.

B A C K G R O U N D

A Blade Sheathed

Roaming around from bar to bar on the mainland, Sugawara Yoshitsune, the ‘Delivery Boy’, could be found with a scratchy beard enjoying a drink with others and laughing uninhibited. A stranger to these lands would mistake him for any other vagabond if it weren’t for his high-quality clothing. But many on the mainland knew the noble prodigy he once was and could recall his fall from grace. He carries two swords on his hip, one is the sword he calls his own and sees frequent use, the other belonged to an old friend and has never been drawn since. It is the second that details his downfall if that's what you want to call it.

Yoshitsune comes from a smaller branch of the royal Sugawara lineage renowned for its judgement and adherence to the law. Being the first child and a son, Yoshitsune was groomed from an early age to inherit the duties of the house and hold the wisdom of his father. Justice is blind, it needs to strike true regardless of the affections the judge may hold. Yoshitsune took this all in, during his childhood and adolescence he idolized his father and, with the encouragement of the rest of the family, quickly began shaping up to those expectations.

The pressure compounded when Yoshitsune was nine and was told that he would become the heir to the Shogun himself. His already rigorous training and lesson plan increased two-fold and the punishment for failure in these tasks increased three-fold. In all respects, Yoshitsune was an excellent student, pressure makes diamonds and he was proof. But he wasn’t flawless and a small chip would surface very soon.

The aftermath of a small, unfortunate accident would change Yoshitsune’s life forever. It shouldn’t have happened, by all planning of the Sugawara house. During his younger teenage years, Yoshitsune’s life was saved by a peasant boy after he had accidentally hit his head on a rock diving into a river. A river Yoshitsune shouldn’t have been near, but snuck out on a very rare occasion of rebellion.

The saviour boy's name was Kaito and Yoshitsune was filled with gratitude for the boy saving his life. Despite the boy's lower status, Yoshitsune treated the boy to the luxuries of nobility for a time and the two became quick friends. While the family did expect to reward the boy for his good deed, the care and duration of his stay quickly became outside the bounds that peasantry should be allowed. It quickly became apparent that Yoshitsune was no longer gifting the boy a just reward but treating him because he saw the boy as a friend and an equal. The family, his father especially, disapproved of this.

Kaito was eventually escorted back home firmly but with honour. The two were expected to be separate after this, but Yoshitsune would sneak out around once a month to spend time with Kaito. This was generally allowed because, outside of these exchanges, Yoshitsune still lived up to the noble he was expected to be.

As the years passed by, the two picked up the arts of war together. For Yoshitsune it was mandatory, for Kaito it was to join his friend. They would begin to spar during each of their meetings and slowly develop together. To Yoshitsune’s surprise, without professional training, Kaito kept up with him and he eventually figured out this was the result of tireless practice on the peasant boys' part.

When the two boys had passed adolescence and into adulthood, Kaito let Yoshitsune know that he intended to conscript into their house’s army and that this would likely be the last time they would meet in some time. In response, Yoshitsune got to work with his family's smiths and forged two similar katanas under the guise he wanted to do for himself. In reality, he gifted one of the swords to Kaito before he left for battle and kept one for himself. This drew immense dissatisfaction from his family, but it was already too late by the time they found out. After some severe punishment, Yoshitsune convinced them not to confiscate the blade from Kaito. Kaito was honourable and deserved it, Yoshitsune wouldn’t be alive without him.

---

A few years passed and with the absence of Kaito, Yoshitsune became far more focused in his development. He spent more time with his father, more time with private trainers, was present for sentences made, and gradually his face hardened. He was conditioned almost as a true heir. One more test lay in wait for him, Yoshitsune’s first sentencing as a judge.

A dissertation from the army was an easy case—the sentencing as written by law: execution. Yoshitsune strode out to pass his judgment and was more than prepared to carry it out. That was until he saw Kaito, who had looked up to him with misery in his eyes. Yoshitsune, in shock, looked to his father who only regarded him with a cold, unfeeling expression. Justice is blind, it needs to strike true regardless of the affections the judge may hold.

Yoshitsune’s face hardened, composing himself. Kaito deserted the army. The sentence was execution. He thought Kaito was an honourable person. But an honourable person doesn’t run from their duty. The sentence was execution. And so Yoshitsune brought his blade down on the neck of his best friend, his brother, and someone he loved. Such was his duty.

Yoshitsune impressed his father with his actions. While Kaito's crime was real, it was a test to see if his son could separate his feelings from the call of law. Yoshitsune passed with flying colours.

Yoshitsune hung his gift to Kaito in his sleeping quarters as a daily reminder. Every day he would wake up and look upon it as a reminder of what he had to do and the person he had to be. With each day, a reminder of Kaito weighed upon his heart like a small stone. It wasn’t noticeable at first, but growing with every passing day. Every regret, every double take, every thought where he considered his actions were deeply wrong to execute him. They would pile up and they would be exactly what he needed to harden his heart.

---

It started a few years after the execution, after a record of being the perfect son and heir, Yoshitsune spoke out over dinner. The content of his words was inconsequential but the effect was well heard. Yoshitsune had interrupted his father. This earned him a few disapproving glares but was quickly overlooked. It was a rare act of rebellion after all. But then another act of disobedience happened, then another, and another, until a clear pattern had emerged. It wasn’t long before Yoshitsune could be seen as a threat to his house’s dignity and something needed to be done.

His father had assumed his son simply needed to learn humility. So he arranged for Yoshitsune to be put to work as a messenger for a while, a highly regarded one but a messenger nonetheless. His father was certain that a demeaning job would bring Yoshitsune back to the fold in no time. But instead, the young man took it as an excuse to travel around and drink at random bars on the mainland and beyond. Despite this, he performed his duty admirably and without fail so no punishment could reasonably be placed on him. To add to this, he would help the needs of the peasant folk as he came across them, which gave him some respect among the lower circles of society.

Yoshitsune’s family was baffled by the sudden change and his descent into something they would consider a disappointment. They were left asking why, but the answer rested on his hip. During his first delivery and all subsequent deliveries, he had carried Kaito’s blade.

The growing weight on his heart had not hardened Yoshitsune but broken him instead. Left with the grief of his deceased friend, he had come to realise that the execution could not have been just. Kaito was an honourable man, so he couldn’t have deserted for no good reason. But he still couldn’t understand it fully and sought desperately to know the answer.

In all the times Yoshitsune had met with Kaito, it had always been near or around his family estate. Every time, he would bring Kaito into his life and his world but he had never done the same back. Maybe if he were to trace his friend’s steps and see what life was like from his shoes, he could understand why his friend could have deserted. So he took to the job of deliveries, travelling Nikan, and seeing what life was like for the peasants.

At first, he was confused and awkward. He didn’t fit in with these people at all; his overly serious and dignified expressions didn’t help. But as time passed on and he persisted, Yoshitsune found himself lightening up, his shoulders less firm and his face softer. He began joking with these people, laughing with them, dancing with them, and more.

A day came when Yoshitsune had stayed up drinking so long that he met the rising sun. It was on a field just outside a small, nameless town and he sat alone with his thoughts. It was that day that he finally understood his friend. He laid back on the grass, he laughed, and he cried for a life he cherished and a life he had taken unjustly. He had come to the end of his journey.

The joy and happiness his travels had gained him were precious. So why not continue the journey? Why not make a few more deliveries? With every step, he took Kaito’s blade with him. He wanted his friend with him if he was going to travel to all these places. He loved Kaito after all.

Justice should try to be blind. But judgement without empathy isn’t worth shit.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

❖ Friendly
❖ Humble
❖ Resolute
❖ Philosophical
❖ Compassionate

Yoshitsune is a friendly roaming traveler always willing to drink with and talk to those who come across his path. He seems to have an passion in regards to learning people's lives and stories. However, despite the circumstances, his sense of justice hasn't faltered and will often take the law into his own hands should the proper authorities falter.

M O T I V A T I O N

Yoshitsune has been overwhelmed with responsibilities and goals from his birth. For now, all he wants to do is continue travelling. This isn't to say that he is immune to the call of duty. As such an important name, his past responsibilities will likely come crashing down upon him once more.

S T R E N G T H S & S K I L L S

❖ A well-trained swordsman
❖ Great judgement
❖ Friendly
❖ Great to talk to over drinks
❖ Good reputation with peasants

Yoshitsune has quite a record of helping the peasants around him. He has learned to speak to everyone as equals, not just giving consideration to those born of noble blood. He is generally friendly and approachable. But he is also not soft to the idea of necessary violence and the dispensing of justice; he has claimed the lives of many criminals and bandits in his travels.

W E A K N E S S E S & F L A W S

❖ Humble ambitions
❖ Grief-stricken
❖ Unwilling to lead
❖ Avoidant of responsibility
❖ Bad reputation to everyone that matters

While he has more than demonstrated an ability for leading and taking on responsibility, Yoshitsune seems allergic to the idea currently. He has found happiness in a more humble life and in relating to those who grew up lesser than him. He simply wishes to continue humbly travelling and if that serves his family, that's all the better. He fears that putting on the mantle of heir or leadership in general will require the cold heart he once held.

Yoshitsune carries his sword, Kaito's sword, and a sake gourd with cups. Everything else is the necessities for a normal traveler.

❖ [Kind]
❖ [Thoughtful]
❖ [Respectful]
❖ [Generous]
❖ [Compassionate]

These are all things that Ren Baykara would say about himself. And to him, perhaps they are true characteristics. But to anyone else, they are a mockery of the word. He lives according only to his whims and wishes with little regard for those around him, and never hesitates to open his mouth and speak his mind, regardless of the consequences. Because, to him, there are no consequences.

C H A R A C T E R A P P E A R A N C E

A man firmly in the stages of early adulthood, Ren Baykara stands at a solid 5’8, sporting olive skin and back hair. His eyes are dark amber, with obvious traces of his Retanese heritage. He is well built and objectively rather handsome, and does not make attempts to hide it. He will sometimes wear makeup to play this up(but never admit to it), and a healthy amount of jewelry to accentuate his strong facial features.

Beyond this, he is not a stickler for fashion but only adorns himself in rather grandiose outfits, of both Virangish and old Retanese design. Loose flowing silks are among his favorite, as he prefers to keep his limbs free and mobile. There is also a respect shown towards attire dedicated to martial arts, and some partial influences from Nikan here and there given the exotic nature of the goods.

B A C K G R O U N D

A tale does not always need dramatics. Ren Baykara was born the son of a vizier of Virang, and a descendant of the former Retanese Jiang dynasty who were deposed by the twin emperors. Privilege is in his blood and upbringing. And in Virang, privilege proves triumphant in a more sinister way than their Constantian brothers and sisters.

There is a darker tone to the nation that few are able to see. The noblesse oblige is not common in Virang, and far less so abroad in their colonial subject of Palapar. That was where he was sent, and where he lived for the vast majority of his life. The oversight of the colony was one of major importance to the nation, given the breakaway status of Paggon close to a century prior. To maintain their grip on such a valuable cash cow was of the utmost importance to the nation – and the thing that kept it in the sphere of relevance with powerhouses like Torragon and Perrence.

Perhaps that is why he understood the importance of strength. Not in the semblance of a paper tiger, but the understanding that power is power. And while there was not a great, significant tragedy that shaped his life, there was a moment that helped shape his philosophy. It was around the time he’d begun manifesting his gift - 8 or 9 at the time, when his father bid him to sit at a council of several important figures. One such figure was present that he had not encountered but merely heard about at the time: Hugo Hunghorasz.

It baffled him. The existence of an anomaly on this scale. Everybody in this room was among the most powerful elite, just like him. Born with RAS that could cause a commoner to collapse by the simple act of drawing. But, Hugo was to the nobles what the nobles were to commoners. The only reason that everyone in that room was breathing was due to his mercy. His benevolence. He didn’t need to draw, or cast, or prove his strength. He opened his mouth, and people listened and heeded his words regardless of the tone or severity they carried. For if he spoke, it simply was.

A great irony of this realization is that not once did he speak to this hero of his. He assumed, as he always had, that he knew what it meant to be strong. He knew that he would eventually stand with that man, just like the rest, and that he was among the chosen few that could comprehend that power - that mercy.

It was only in the years following this meeting that he quite understood the significance of it however. Concessions to slaves. He was older - wiser - more powerful than ever, and yet the idea seemed laughable to him. Shouldn’t they simply be glad to be alive? To breathe the same air as the powerful? His stance on the matter had long been shaped to one of extreme conservatism - not necessarily to protect the status-quo of the elite but to reinforce and reaffirm it. Too long had rabble been allowed to run around unchecked, only being saved by the grace of living gods.

And so, he lived. In Palapar, he was sent as an envoy. He did his job, magnificently in fact. The plantations had never been more productive and prosperous for the nation of Virang. It did not matter to him how the locals toiled and suffered under the hot sun. It did not matter to him how they shivered in the night, for if he were to give them an inch, they would take much more than a mile.

Slavery was a fact of life. There would always be those above, and those below. Whether you described them as serfs, free men, even ‘petty nobility’, they didn’t really exist. They weren’t truly free. At any moment, he could crush them. The only difference was attitude - and in his earnest opinion - it was better for the weak to not be ignorant of the difference. To not dress themselves up with titles, because that would lead to the type of secessions that had already occurred.

M O T I V A T I O N

Officially Ren Baykara is here to survey the school after the revolution, and make sure that they are complying with the ‘neutrality’ they have promised. Unofficially, he is here to understand what is left after the death of Hugo, and whether there is a true replacement for the Paradigm at the school. If not, he just may have to assume that position himself.

I N V E N T O R Y

A wide array of clothing.
Insurmountable Wealth.
A colossal amount of various exotic food items, trade materials and other such belongings.

-OTHER ITEMS TO BE DISCOVERED-

S T R E N G T H S & S K I L L S

❖ Extremely well connected
❖ Good looking
❖ Confident
❖ Extremely wealthy
❖ Strategic Thinker

Quite frankly, everything Ren has, he wants. He is good looking, disproportionately wealthy even among the many nobles and elites that attend Ersand’Enise, and holds an immense number of connections. And although many of these things were blessings from birth, he also has a mind for strategy. To call him ‘gifted’ in this department would be a mistake, because it’s something he’s learned through continuous trial and error approaches. What makes it more frightening than most is that he is willing to make the tougher, less humane choices if they are more effective.

W E A K N E S S E S & F L A W S

❖Arrogant
❖Cruel
❖Narcissistic
❖Delusional
❖Disconnected

While many dress up behind a layer of charm and intrigue, he does not. He is uncouth, arrogant and somewhat deluded in his own power fantasy, disconnected very much from the world around him. He does not look upon the plight of others with any sympathy or emotion, because in his mind, a default state of being is a mercy to them. This mindset makes him very few friends, and many enemies, and it’s not something that he’s ever concerned about because he’s lost in his own delusion.
