Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

@Arthanus

Lil' question: The dances don't need to be magic, do they? I mean, its basically like a bard. It all comes from his charisma and messing with the psychological of his allies and enemies.

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

So, it took me a LOT of time to found pics that I am satisfied with.
Got two. Need some advice on which one of them to use XD

DragonFall - The Leviathans Are Coming

Lila, the Blade Dancer

Lila, the Blade Dancer

---

Full Name: Lila Suda, Nickname/Alias: The Blade Dancer, "Rings" to those close to her.
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterossexual
Country: Wildeshore
Occupation: Dancer / Hunter

---

Appearance: Platinum hair, skin as white as the Wildshore's sands. Standing at 1,85m, Lila is a tall woman. Long, strong legs and a very flexible slender body that hides an impressive strength for a woman, Lila sure is a box full of surprises. Unlike the common long hair many woman prefer to use, Lila opted for cutting it shorter than usual. Coupled with the unusual color, it sure attracts a lot of attention.

Casually, she wears a black elegant dress made entirely of silk. The material makes it strong and flexible, letting her move and dance freely. While hunting or in battle situations, she wears a lightweight leather armor, reinforced with steel on some parts.

Lila's Clothes

Casual

Battle

Background: Born out of an impossible union, probably fruit of one single night of passion, Lila's parents are extremely different from each other. Both in status and way of life. Her mother was a dancer, just like her. A free spirit who loved to travel, talk, have fun and dance. She liked to say that her husband was the wind, that she went wherever it took her.
Her father, on other hand, was a very wealthy and important nobleman. Most part of the money that passed through Wildeshore, passed by his hands. Owner of a big part of the commerce there, he was a beautiful man, but was completely the opposite of Lila's mother. He cared too much about material possessions, including money. Hated changes and was an extremely traditional man, with a deep love for military and martial arts.

Due to being extremely traditional, her father simply couldn't ignore the fact that he had a child. Even If the mother was only a dancer. Of course, he was already married. Lila was the fruit of an affair. Luckily, he chose to give both her and her mother a house and a large sum of money, promising to take care of them. Maybe he was trying to take responsibility for his mistakes? Or perhaps he was only trying to hide his shame. Lila was raised between the nobles, in the high society, but had the same free spirit as her mother and coincidentally, the same love for dancing, but at the same time, was deeply fascinated by martial arts, just as her father. Thanks to this union of two completely opposite extremes, Lila ended up fusing her two passions. A weapon specially made for her, a Ring Blade, was gifted to her by her father. It was just like the weapon was an extension of her body. Graceful and swift circular movements, deadly precision and a dancer's footwork and flexibility created an unique martial art.
As the little Lila grown up, she became an enchanting woman. Beautiful and desired, feared and admired by many. Her name quickly became known thorough Wildeshire, enough to other nobles overlook the fact that she was fruit of an affair and with that came many different aliases: The Blade Dancer, Rings & etc.

Her meeting with the dragon "Jörmungandr" was very... unorthodox. One day, while she was dancing and performing in a party near the beach, having fun as the torches illuminated the night, the moonlight reflected on her ring blade (which her friends insisted for her to use the real weapon instead of only a hoop in her dance), it was beautiful and deadly, the smile, the pure joy in her face while she danced was hypnotizing. Lets say that her friends weren't the only ones watching...

From the dark sea, a big dragon came, getting out of the depths of the sea. Naturally, everyone nearby was startled, but Lila hadn't perceived the creature, continuing dancing. When she saw it, the dragon had laid his head on the sand, and was quietly staring at her, like it was hypnotized. In a moment of bravery, or foolishness, Lila extended her hand, touching the creature's nose. That moment, under the moonlight, a strong relationship, and strong feelings were forged between the two.

---

Strengths:

》 Dal Niente, Al Niente – Lila is capable of moving very fast around the battlefield, being able of impressive speeds in order to eliminate specific targets. With her mobility, positioning means nothing, as she can use her speed and dance movements to confound her enemies, making them unable to predict where she will go or from where she will attack.

》 Noble Aura – Lila's is a woman who passes an aura of nobility and purity. Other people tend to trust her easily and find it very difficult to think anything wrong of her.

》 Fortissimo – Using her entire body's weight and mass to build her weapon's momentum, it can deal very devastating attacks without compromising her agility. Her enemies often get surprised by the force behind her agile and fast attacks.

》 Dancer's Agility – Lila's graceful movements hide powerful and flexible muscles which make her capable of performing very impressive acrobatic moves and an uncanny agility and flexibility.

Weaknesses:

》 Innocence - Lila is an innocent and kind girl. She trusts others too easily.

》 Weight Restriction - Obviously, Lila cant carry too much weight with her, as it will affect her mobility and fighting ability.

》 Light Armor - Lila wears only very light armor in order to keep mobile. She cannot wear anything heavy, and its unable to wield a shield or any kind of off-hand weapon when using her weapon (excluding her throwing rings.)

Equipment:

》

"Ring Blade"

A very unique weapon that resembles the decorated hoops she uses in some of her dances, it uses beautiful and very complex circular movements, using the dancer's own body to give the weapon more momentum, its a very unpredictable weapon, and can be very tricky to defend. On the other hand, the nature of this weapon is so dangerous that it could literally mean dismemberment or death if used by those who dont have enough skill.

》 Throwing Chakrams: Small, razor sharp bladed rings she can throw to hit her opponents.

》 Black dress and Light armor

Jörmungandr, The Midgard Serpent

ps: ignore limbs

---

Full Name: Jörmungandr, The Midgard Serpent
Age: Estimated 150 Years
Gender: Male
Race: Amphitheres

---

Appearance:



Background: Jörmungandr was one of the biggest and most ferocious Amphitheres on the sea, differently from other amphitheres, he was very aggressive and territorial, sometimes sinking ships only because they passed nearby him. Nobody knew why he was so different from the other dragons of the same species, perhaps because he was still a young dragon? Nobody knew for certain. His characteristic horn was the first thing the ones unlucky enough to cross his path would see, and very often, the last one.

Unlike other dragons, he didn't liked humans. Never had assumed a human form before, nor he wished to. Some say he inherited the old dragons' pride. He thought that humans were inferior and worthless, that was until the day he fell in love for a human himself. For the first time in 100 years, he let a human touch him, for the first time in his life, he assumed a human form. He changed completely after that day. Even becoming rather curious about humans. What was a ferocious dragon that destroyed everything he wanted, now was much more tame and well mannered. His interaction with that human made him rethink what he thought about the human race, making a growing curiosity rise within him.

---

Strengths:

》 Natural Hunter - Fast, stealthy and with an extremely powerful bite, he is a natural and very dangerous hunter, both in dragon and human form.
》 Bladed Horn - His horn is razor sharp, and can be used as a blade by him.
》 Roar of the Ancients - An earsplitting, terrifying roar which can disrupt arcane arts and weaken arcane attacks directed to him.
》 Camouflage - As an Amphithere, he is able to camouflage himself with the surroundings.

Weaknesses:

》 Extremely possessive about Lila. He will put her safety as a priority no matter what.
》 Berserk - If Lila gets too hurt or if she is kidnapped, he will enter a berserk state.
》 Dark Past - Due to his blood drenched past, he feels guilty and feels like he should atone for his actions. As such, he will try to protect innocent humans if he sees them in danger.
》 Righteous - Will be compelled to help others who are in need, even if they are humans.

@Leoven

Ayaka Suda is the artist for this particular pic.
Take a look at Ilia Kushinov as well. Two of my favorite artists :-D

DragonFall - The Leviathans Are Coming

We all are XD

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

@Arthanus

That idea got scrapped as soon as Lyla said for me to do a dancer XD

@Lyla

Lol, you can be sure I will now that you said that XDDD

Plus: it'll be a female (since we have more males than females currently, and for some weird reason I don't understand, I always do characters from the gender, race or etc. that currently are the minority)

Thinking in an unarmored support / damage hybrid, focusing heavily on mobility and agility.

Ps: these are just ideas I came with, in order to resume what I am thinking in doing. Don't think of it as the final concept.

Many letters, such text

Stanza
By changing her stance, she is able to support her allies with dances. Her attacks are 50% weaker while dancing and her mobility is reduced (although she can still dodge and parry attacks without breaking the dancing stance, but any other sudden movement such as running, jumping will break the stanza and the "buffs" will stop, since they are only active while she is performing.)

These dances can be either beneficial to her allies or detrimental to her enemies (although only one dance can be performed at a given time)

Dances example

Bravura & Allegro – A set of animated and lively dances that bolster friendly units capabilities, buffing their attack values and defenses or restoring their stamina and health over time, depending on the dance she uses.

Tragedia & Terore – A set of darker, more chaotic dances which can debuff enemies, causing fear, lessening their attack values or even causing pain depending on which dance she uses.

Fortissimo – Using her entire body's weight and mass to build her weapon's momentum, it can deal very devastating attacks without compromising her agility. Her enemies often get surprised by the force behind her agile and fast attacks. Additionally, due to the nature of her weapon, she must use her entire body to wield it and as such cannot carry a shield, an off-hand weapon, wear any kind of armor (even boiled leather will weight her down).

Crescendo – The unique circular motions needed to wield the weapon make it easier for her to parry or redirect incoming attacks.

Accelerando – Her graceful movements hide powerful and flexible muscles which make her capable of performing very impressive acrobatic moves, giving her an uncanny agility and flexibility. Her complete lack of armor also contribute to this, making her a very difficult target to hit.

Dal Niente, Al Niente With her mobility, positioning means nothing, as she can use her speed and dance movements and footwork in a battle situation to confound her enemies, making them unable to predict where she will go or from where she will attack.

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Very tempted to do a dancer, using this to perform and battle:

Looks familiar? XD

PS: about technology level. Do we have access to flintlock / Wheelock rifles? or even a revolving rifle?

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Nice! lemme read through the IC first so I can understand the story until now!

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

*RP addiction kicks in*

I know I'm kinda late for this one, but are you guys still accepting?

Oh Waiter! Another Human Please! (Supernatural RP)

Yu-Pha

Hallways, going up.

Strangely enough, everyone chose to follow her. "Why? I could turn my back on them and try to kill them at any moment?" she thought to herself. The fact that they trusted her, a stranger they just met, was something foolish to do for her.

"Be helpful if there were directions, but I'd say let's stay together for this," Just as the man said that, a metal wall fell, splitting the new formed group. That was incredibly complicated for a simple fighting ring... Something was extremely off about all that.

"I've seen quite a lot, but this is far different." The man said, after looking to the wall.

"Too complex for a clandestine fighting ring, it makes no sense..." she said, more to herself than to the man that she didn't remembered the name.

"I don't know what is happening here, but there is only one path to follow. Whatever it is that waits for us on the end of this hallway, it knows that we cant run." she said, continuing walking.

"I'm alive after all this time, after everything that i had to endure for a reason. I won't die without a fight, even if this means dirtying my hands with more blood or turning myself in a monster. More than i already am." she said to Rand, with a cold and emotionless expression. Her words, the tone of her voice... Rand could feel only one thing on that woman. Only one feeling, only one thing that made her alive. A never fading and raging fire that burned deep within her, refusing to give up. Fueled by hate, fear and everything she had lost.

"We don't have the luxury of worrying ourselves with the other two. Lets keep going." she said to Rand.

Kamilah

1st Floor

Kamilah was slightly disturbed, but at the same time worried with Nixon after the his commentary.
"Hey Nix..." she said, gently putting her hand on his shoulder.

"You know, sometimes we need to open ourselves to someone. If you need to talk to someone, someone to hear you, i would be glad to help you." she said with a kind smile.

"If you ever need some help, feel free to ask. We might be physically stronger than humans, but we are as emotionally vulnerable as them."


"So drop the tough guy act, 'kay? We all could use a hug and some attention, humans and monsters alike. Don't hesitate to ask for my help if you ever need it." Kamilah said, touching the tip of his nose and giving him a small wink and a warm smile. It was almost funny that the same woman that was displaying such kindness was the same creature that killed and ate that living animal a while back...

"Think about it, okay?" she said, walking away.

"I wonder how are they doing... poor creatures must be so scared..." she said, while going to the first floor to search for them.

For the ones who knew her, they knew that Kamilah was a very kind person, but the humans didn't know that. Especially due to the fact that they weren't used on seeing supernatural creatures, especially a Lamia, which wasn't as similar to a human as a vampire or a succubus. Kamilah had an attractive and delicate appearance, but the small details such as her fangs, the long snake tail and the sharp teeth would surely be noted. How the humans would react was completely up to them. They could either be attracted by her appearance or frightened by the fact that she wasn't human.

"I'll have to be very careful to not frighten them." she said, doing her best to hide her fangs, although a small part of them could still be seen even with her mouth closed. Kamilah wanted to do that as silently as possible, she didn't wanted others to know she was trying to protect the humans, especially the other guests. "If i try to be silent while searching for them, they surely will get scared... I need to make sure to be careful." she thought to herself.

Lamias are predators, they have natural hunting instincts, that means prowling, ambushing, pouncing... And the sight of a gigantic snake sneaking on the ground going directly to you, using her tail and arms to move as close to the ground as possible with her fangs showing over her lips, wasn't a pleasant or a calming sight.
