Mythic Path

I’ve been pondering two different ideas for a potential character to write for this RP. I’ll post drafts for both characters here, and if the concepts work for this RP with or without further revision, then I will pick the character I think will work better with the team we come up with. For some reason I’m feeling inspired to write characters who explore religious themes (probably in part due to the fact that the premise involves fighting demons).

Character #1 Draft Sheet:
Name: Amelie Dumaurie
Age: 20
Appearance: Amelie is a straight haired brunette who stands at just under six feet and has a rather willowy build. Her exact apparel will depend on what's available, but she prefers to dress conservatively.
Background: Amelie is a third generation French American from a staunchly Catholic family. She went to a Catholic private school growing up, and she found that her passion in life was to try to prove that her faith was the one true faith despite what anyone else would be inclined to believe. To that end, she was studying theology and history at the University of Notre Dame, with a plan of eventually getting into archeology with the hopes of participating in digs that would prove the events of the Bible to be historically accurate. However, she was taken to Mer before she had the chance to complete her undergraduate degree, so now she finds herself preparing to become a different kind of crusader from what she was originally planning.
Other Information You Want Us To Know: I’ve found zealot characters to be painted in a rather poor light in a lot of the media I’ve consumed over the years. Without glossing over the drawbacks of such a close-minded worldview, I’d hope to present a more balanced portrayal of religious zealot through Amelie. I see her having a somewhat complicated view of authority, in that she would be quick to discount the authority and wisdom of those whom she disagrees with while on the other hand being too willing to turn a blind eye to the faults of those authorities whom she has chosen to give her loyalty to. This could potentially be exploited by an authority figure who knows how to appeal to her sensibilities without revealing their dishonorable intentions. However, in the service of a master with noble intentions, she could be a powerful force for good.
Archetype/Mythic Path: Crusader Angel

Character #2 Draft Sheet:
Name: Reverend Nicholas Bambrook
Age: 56
Appearance: Average height, grey haired and a bit paunchy. He typically wears suits and ties in public, but he could switch into whatever passes for bourgeois formal attire in Mer.
Background: Reverend Bambrook, during a long and not-particularly illustrious career, found himself the pastor of an aging Baptist church with an aging demographic, the kind where marriages and baby dedications are no longer happening but funerals are very much in the vogue. Despite the words of comfort that Nicholas was uttering during such services, he found himself questioning the truth of the supposed security in the afterlife that he had been announcing. While he continued to say what he had to in order to maintain his flock, he found himself doubting the tenants of his faith, and he began to fear death, especially once his parents passed. And then he found himself transported to Mer, which among other things shattered the vestiges of his belief in the sovereignty and truth of the Christian god, for his bible had never suggested anything that explained the universe he now found himself in. He has now forsaken his god and adopted the worship of a new deity, a god/goddess of death, for he now seeks the keys of eternal life, as he has no intention of dying in this blighted place.
Other Information You Want Us To Know: I see him wielding an assault rifle as his choice of weapon but otherwise wouldn't wear much armor.
Archetype/Mythic Path: Ecclesithuerge Lich

I’m seeing that someone else submitted an Angel character, so I imagine I will most likely use Nicolas unless someone else also wants to write a Necromancer, in which case I suppose two angels would be better than two necromancers, and I could adjust Amelie to be more of a spell caster.

@Nimriel

Either works, even the Angel, since you can choose how your Angelic powers progress.

Isekai *Pathfinder inspired RP*

<Snipped quote by ActRaiserTheReturned>

No, no, I mean going multiclass Cavalier and Summoner then the Mythic Path is Superhero.

@Kullz

That works.

<Snipped quote by ActRaiserTheReturned>

I mentioned going Summoner as well- do you want me to amend my sheet?

@Kullz

You can be either Summoner or Superhero, but maybe you could make a bettr name for Summoner. Eh. . . High Summoner? Archsummoner?

Hopefully this fits the vibe. Tell me what needs changing

My Hider

Name: Emma Lawson
Age: 28
Appearance:


Background:
Emma was born on her family’s farm in St. Lawrence County, New York. Emma—who idolized her police officer Mother—became enamoured with the childish idea of being a hero of justice who defends the helpless. Growing up, Emma was a stickler-for-the-rule do-gooder who was not afraid to say her mind. She was that kid who would remind the teacher that they had homework or someone who would tell people that they’re the ones at fault for their own mess if she thinks so—of course, she is also quick to lend her help. Nevertheless, her rather ‘fiery’ personality makes her a bit hard to get along with and she can be rather awkward in social situations, she could typically converse socially well enough, however for more intimate settings she can come across harsher than intended. Eventually she mellowed as she grew older, and by the time she was in high school, rather than the overbearing rule stickler, she was the kind an popular model student trusted by students and teachers.

After High School, Emma decided to enroll in NYPD Police Academy to follow in her mother's footsteps. Not long after enrolling however, tragedy struck and in an accident, her family perished in a fire that engulfed their house. Nevertheless, Emma decided to persevere and continued her study, applying for scholarship and working part time. Emma following in her mother's footsteps was something her family was proud of, and thus, fulfilling that dream would be the best way for her to honour them.

While she was working part-time to help cover living costs, she ended up meeting an old acquaintance from high school who also worked in the same café. They never got along well in high school due to her being a straight-A honor student and him being a delinquent who didn’t even bother continuing his education in college, but opposites do attract and one thing leads to another and she ended up with a child by the time she was 20. It was out of wedlock and she had not even graduated, but they decided to marry and keep the child, with Emma having to give up her dream and dropped out to take care of the child, opting to pursue a business degree from university offering online courses. It was a rough patch at first, but they made it work, as her husband ended up inheriting the cafe he worked part time in due to how much the owner valued him.

Unfortunately, while opposites attract, it doesn’t necessarily keep things together. About 4 years into the marriage, they went their separate way after one too many fights, with Emma winning custody. They separated in cordial terms, still talked to each other, and pooled their money together to pay for tuition and whatnot, and especially since their daughter is still fond of both they met quite frequently as friends, so it was not all bad.

By the time Emma is 28, she actually feels her life is on the right track. She’s financially stable, working for a rising tech start-up making huge profits as a personal assistant to the CEO, and she even made the divorced parent thing work with her ex by having a cordial relationship where their daughter often visits her dad. Life is good, at least until she was summoned to another world.

It was a chance for her to realise her childhood dream, and yet...she could not wish for them to defeat the demons as soon as possible so she could return back to her daughter.

Other Information You Want Us To Know:
As angel, Emma's becomes a conduit for a deity of Mer that is the embodiment of light and righteous fury when using her angelic power, that is, when her halo is manifested. Manifesting her halo for a prolonged time can cause Emma's mental state to be affected, becoming prone to zealous anger against demons and those perceived to be evil acts.

Archetype/Mythic Path:
Archetype: Paladin
Paladins serve as beacons for their allies within the chaos of battle. While deadly opponents of evil, they can also empower goodly souls to aid in their crusades. Their holy magic and martial skills also make them well suited to defending others and blessing the fallen with the strength to continue fighting.

Mythic Path: Angel
The mythic power that was granted to Emma by the god that brought her to Mer was that of an angel. Upon being summoned, wings grew from her back, a holy sword uniquely suited to slay demons appeared in her hand, and she gains the ability manifest a halo. As an angel, the holy magic she can use as a Paladin becomes stronger in addition to being bestowed powers unique to an angel.

Angel Mythic Path Progression

Level 1
Halo of Angels
Allies who can see the halo found their morale and courage bolstered, while demonic enemies found their morale lowered. Becomes Halo of Dominions at level 6

Level 2
Halo of Archangels
Holy light emitted by the halo envelops allies in its presence, providing them protection against demons that becomes more powerful the more Emma's mythic power grow.

Level 3
Halo of Principalities
Invoking the authority of heavenly light, an angel forces evil-aligned entities to obey her. Those with weak willpower will immediately become frightened of Inquisitor and obey her command. Those with stronger willpower can resist, but may find themselves moving sluggishly and being weakened from actively resisting her command. As Emma grew in mythic power, so does the force of the compulsion.

Level 4
Halo of Powers
Allies in presence of the halo will find their wounds heal, while demons will find themselves burned. The higher the mythic level the greater the magnitude.

Level 5
Halo of Virtues
Virtues are angels in charge of nature's elements, thus hostile elemental magic becomes weakened if cast in Emma's presence.

Level 6
Halo of Dominions
In addition to demoralising demons and bolstering allies' morale, Halo of Virtues grant allies resistances against mental-altering magic and demons with weak willpower will flee or freeze in fear.

Level 7
Halo of Thrones
Gain the ability to summon a 'Throne of Light' a flying wheel of flame that Emma can ride on. The wheel of flame is nearly invulnerable to demonic attacks and can shoot powerful holy flames that are especially effective against them.

Level 8
Halo of Cherubim
Gain the ability to summon an army of angelic allies who will descend on the battlefield to aid Emma in battle.

Level 9
Halo of Seraphim
Gain the ability to summon 'Kingdom of Light', a flying fortress similar to the 'Throne of God' that are nigh invulnerable to demons and capable of burning them with holy fire. The fortress glow with holy light, increasing the reach of Emma's halo up to 1 km radius.

Level 10
Heaven's Light
Emma is transfigured into the embodiment of heavenly authority. Her armour shifts into a vestment of pure Light, flowing cloth and radiant metal of sunlight. Garbed in this holy regalia, she may walk through the demon's world itself and know she is the one that has the upper hand. During the initial transformation, a burst of light is released, dispelling evil magics and making it harder for evil supernatural powers to be activated, while weak demons instantly turned to ash. While on this form, Emma's martial prowess and her holy magic are amplified, deadly to even the most powerful of demons if they suffer a fatal blow. Emma may also choose to manifest the holy power of the regalia as a 12-meter radius pillar of flame that descends from heaven, burning those she consider her enemies but harmless to those she does not intend to harm, wielding the power in this way ends the transfiguration immediately.

@Randomguy

This is approved. We might change the effects of some player's Mythic Paths over time as the RP progresses, but everything looks good.

Mythic Path

<Snipped quote by ActRaiserTheReturned>

When you say "The alien world of Mer is a little more advanced than ours", does that mean that this setting is more futuristic / scifi than traditional fantasy like something like Pathfinder's world?

@Oso

Yes. There are laser weapons and plasma weapons. There are shopping malls, electric power, etcetera.

By the way I'll add the optional Discord to the OP.

Mythic Path

With all that said,

Inspired by the PC game Pathfinder, Wrath of the Righteous, this RP is set in an alien world, far outside our Galaxy, maybe even in another dimension, where magic is real. The alien world of Mer is a little more advanced than ours, and despite being in a multifront Cold War, the world has been in a tenuous, very prosperous peace for decades. However, evil factions have targeted innocent people, so the governments of the world will meet their demands.

The Cultists have created a Hell Mouth under the city of Valykar, one of the largest cities in the world, and unleashed a living Hell on the unsuspecting citizens.

Your Isekai'd protagonists have been brought to one of the only safe bastions in Valykar to help the local resistance and armed services, seal The Hell Mouth and eradicate the demons.

Each of your characters has some kind of Archetype called a Mythic Path at your disposal. The list below is not exhaustive, you can come up with something yourself, such as Superhero, for example.

Note:
You start off with great power, but it's at the base level for your Archetype/Mythic Path. Make up a power, and a passive power for your character per level of Mythic Path/Archetype, up to level ten in your character sheet.

Hi there!

I’m interested in the idea and potential of it for sure.

How are you handling the isekai? Death? Rebirth?
Truck-kun?

That said, I was also wondering:
Do you plan to expand on the worldbuilding and set it up for long-term plotting? Or is this more of a prompt-based sandbox you’re hoping to improvise with?

@princess

I was considering that the players could vote on the cause of the Isekai. It's going to be from a powerful god like being, but the over all idea is everyone is just someone from Earth who gets sent to Mer. I have some information that I've stored on a different site when I tried to recruit there. I do plan on enlargening the world building on Mer a little.
