Re:Unison

And cool. How many pairs do you plan on having before launching the RP, Ammo?

@ERode

I don't have any set limit; I'll get this going even if it's only me and one other guy. I'm going to give some time for everyone who showed interest to get a chance to sign up first, though. Give it at least a few more days.

Re:Unison

So I basically just went ham with it.

An Ancient One

Name:
Adamas

Type:
Monstrous

Appearance:
A mass of stone, the first impression that Adamas gives off is that of an immovable wall, massive, unyielding, and cumbersome. Moss grows over its body like fur, while obsolete cuffs of steel have fused with its ankles, only bits of chain left on it to indicate its prior purpose. There is a hole in Adamas’s chest where spiderweb fractures spread out from. Golden light spills out from them, warm and soft like sunlight. Gargantuan even compared to other constructs, the golem, when standing, reaches to a height of twelve meters, but can shed parts of its body until it stands only at two meters instead. Mostly comfortable with moving on fours, Adamas’s proportions are closer to that of a gorilla, with arms longer than the legs.

Personality:
For a creature of such massive size and power, Adamas is surprisingly thoughtful, oddly subdued. There is a constant gloominess surrounding it, a fatigue more mental than physical, and its long-lived nature had made it rather forgetful, almost insolently tardy when assigned tasks with deadlines. What was the difference of a couple hours, a couple days, for a construct that had lived as long as it had? It speaks carefully, considerately, and seeks moderation in everything. Nothing good comes out of excess and absence, after all, and in the end, the highs and lows of its life simply…melts together. Taken altogether, it averages out in a long, flat line, and it is perhaps for that reason that Adamas is unable to truly ‘cooperate’ with the atmosphere around it; winter will melt eventually and give way to spring, and summer will wither and crumble into autumn. In the grand scheme of things, the blacks and the whites always end up gray.

To its credit, however, Adamas has wholly become aware of just how gloomy its core makes it, and strives to ensure that not too much of it comes across in its speech. Not everyone shares the same tastes as its infuser, after all, and thus, Adamas largely keeps quiet, feigning being mute. A construct exists to work and fight at the behest of its current contractor. That’s how it was, and how it’ll always be.

Core:
Melancholy

Background:
Adamas was made by a lonely doctor, meant to help her with tasks she was too frail to complete by herself. They lived in a hut on the borders of a town, treating those who came, living off the land as best they could. Years passed into decades. It watched her turn pale and silver, until she left her withering body to rot in her bed.

Adamas was contracted by a guard of the town. They had no talent of their own with the creation of constructs, but they had seen the colossus who guarded the doctor, and knew that such power could not be left to waste away. Between reverting to monstrous instincts or respecting the memory of its creator, Adamas chose the latter, and became a construct that protected the town as a whole, a guardian beast passed down from generation to generation.

When calamity struck, however, the small creatures of flesh that relied on Adamas’s strength to stay safe could no longer do so. Brawn was sufficient in driving back marauders, but natural disasters piled up, one after the other, until no one was left. They had either stayed and died, or left and died. As the last Guardsman of Keima expired, the golem found itself alone.

Time passed as it wandered in search of a host, but humanity had been decimated. There was no contractor in the mountains, willing or unwilling. Adamas felt its consciousness slip away, crumbling like the soul of its infuser.

Time to sleep.

So it did.

…

A life burned like a torch. A light shone like the sun. An order ran, clear as a clarion.

From within the earth, Adamas rose again, the roots of the trees that grew on its back snapping off as it rose to crush the rogue constructs assaulting its new contractor. It had been given life again. It had been called to work again. The snow had melted again, and the sun had rose again.

Wreathed in light, the golem laid waste to the beasts, and in the aftermath of brilliant carnage, it laid its eyes upon its latest contractor. A man, disavowed of humanity. A herbologist, seeking only to perfect his own craft.

Years passed into decades with that man as well, Adamas watching as he became the father of an orphaned child, watching as he turned pale and silver, until he left his withering body to rot in his bed. It will respect his memory too, his wishes. It will accept the contract with his daughter, and watch her in his stead.

And whether it be her children or another’s, whether it be a town or a mountain, it will continue to be passed on, until the day calamity strikes again, until the day it must sleep again.

Abilities:
Outside of its impressive physical strength and its ability to modulate its size by expelling excess material from its body, Adamas is able to project large, magical circles in the area around it and shoot powerful energy beams out of them. At maximum output with no regard to its contractor, it can saturate an entire town with artillery fire, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.

@ERode

There is no world in which I don't accept this, holy shit. I love everything about this construct. You and @Hammerman can both move over to the characters tab.

Re:Unison

@HammermanOh yah, what Core concept thing would Ayesha infuse into the Construct?

@ERode

Remember, this is only if Ayesha is the one to give life to a construct. If it was an inherited one, or some kind of found, deactivated one, it's based off of whoever originally infused it, not Ayesha.

Re:Unison

I see how it is. Say absolutely nothing while I'm awake and then unload it all on me while I'm asleep. Y'all are cruel.

WIP

Name:
Ayesha

Age:
16

Appearance:


Blonde hair, green outer dress with white inner dress underneath. Green emerald eyes.

Personality:
She is a bright and cheerful girl, always seen with a smile on her face. Thanks to her upbringing that is away from "normal" civilization, she can be eccentric and somewhat airheaded at times, but it also makes her be a really independent person who can function perfectly well with barely any contact with another human.

She has a curious mind, constantly wanting to discover new things and experiences.

She's a big lover of nature, though she recognizes the convenience that technology provides, and now, at her stay in the academy, she couldn't help but feel that she's somewhat out-of-place there.

The only person she has a close relationship with was her construct, and she is certainly glad that they could accompany her as she studies in the academy.

Background:
She had always been a foundling ever since she was little.

She never knew who her parents were. The only thing she knew was that the herbologist who raised her found her as a mere infant found her inside a crashed private plane inside the forest. Somehow, she was lucky enough that she wasn't killed in the impact while her parents did.

He took her in and raised her as his own, even though he didn't really want to at the start. He was a misanthrope, doing research on nature away from civilization because he despised other humans. He would've just given her away at the nearest village, but he decided against it at the last moment.

He would raise her right, as a human being that is worthy of life.

The two lived together for years, with her learning everything there was to know about the wilderness and the plants in them from him. But eventually, his old age caught up to him, and he fell ill. As much as she wished she could've saved him, it was his time to go.

And, his last wish was for her to see human civilization for herself. He had arranged her to study in the nearest construct academy, as she had bonded with a construct, and he told her to judge whether or not humanity still deserved to live on this earth after desecrating it so terribly.

She decided to fulfill that wish, and so she departed, leaving her hermitage and into the alien civilization she was never a part of.

Magic:
She has the ability to control nature. She could use it to heal people, speeding up their regenerative capabilities, and she could also use it to hasten the growth of plants, up to the point of sprouting roots, vines, and even trees instantly from the ground. She could even transform her own skin into wood, hardening it while allowing her to grow plants off her own body to attack her enemies.

There.
@ERode

@Hammerman

I don't see anything wrong with this yet on a surface level, but it depends on what ERode makes for a construct. A wild one isn't very plausible with that backstory (though it could very well be the reason the plane crashed) but his idea of making the herbalist have had one which was passed down works for me.

Do note, though, living in the wilds is harsher than it ever used to be. Not only do you have the rogue constructs to worry about, but as a result of humanity's arrogance, what used to be small cute animals have evolved to a point of being ferocious beasts. Even small creatures like deer had to at the very least grow larger and more hostile to combat the fact their old form was entirely helpless against new predators. Animals are larger, stronger, faster. The overgrown plants would also make it a lot more humid than a city-scape, albeit less so than a tropical area. I'd like a bit of that explored, too.

if this is a bit much in any respect, tell me. i'd probably use my backup concept instead, since this character is ENTIRELY MAXIMUM IN EVERY

Being of Suffering

Mizushima Emi

16

Appearance:
At 5' 2.6" tall, 118 pounds, and with an average build, there isn't much to write home about Emi's appearance. Were it not for her eccentricities dictating bits of her appearance, one would be able to see Emi as a normal and functional member of society. She isn't, though. She's never cut her hair once in her life, resulting in an extraordinarily long mop of hair that has to be tied in bizarre ways so that she can properly move. Besides her hair, another notable feature is that she doesn't possess a left leg. Usually, her construct takes the form of her leg which allows her to walk. When he isn't, Emi either uses crutches or uses a wheelchair.

Personality:
Emi is... special. She possesses the attention span of a gnat, the energy of a coke-addled mouse, the spiritual energy of a meme, and the humour of a 14 year old boy that has done nothing but eat sugar and watch funny video compilations. Whereas most other people are functional members of society, Emi is a hurricane of bad jokes and even worse ideas. Despite her obvious (and numerous) shortcomings as a respectable member of society, she still somehow manages to be entirely capable when it comes to what interests her.

And the only thing that captivates the maniacal whims of Emi are the explosive fights between construct and monster.

Background:
Emi was born broken. It was a miracle she was alive, really. It was a perfect storm of disaster. She was born missing a leg, numerous organs, her left eye, and (as others like to say) various parts of her brain. The doctor who delivered the young Emi said that, even with their magic, it would be a miracle if Emi made it three years. The young Emi, even though she was a newborn that couldn't understand a single word, was determined to dunk on that doctor and prove him to be a fraud.

Emi easily made it to three years old. Besides her entire "not walking" deal, she was a normal toddler. High energy, big ideas, and about as dumb as a three year old. Her parents loved her. However, as Emi grew up, they realized something rather important; Emi wasn't actually growing up. Sure, her body got bigger. Her brain didn't exactly share in the growth. While they expected a regular daughter, they got a little hellion of a girl that was unable to do anything for more than a few days at a time before getting bored and quitting.

But in that hellstorm of trying to find jobs and career paths that would interest the young Emi, a small glimmer of hope was laid to her parents: battle. The tales of constructs fighting against construct to reclaim Japan had enthralled Emi. She wanted to destroy and demolish too! Wait, no. She wanted to demolish the constructs that threatened humanity.

Eventually, Emi got the opportunity to create her own construct. Channeling into that conduit, Emi bestowed upon it her everything. Her desires, her dreams, her magic had all flowed deep into the shell. Long story short, she got a kick-ass best friend that would put up with her antics, help her beat up evil, and literally be someone that would give a leg up on her competition.

And she entered Yoake with the intent of becoming the queen of beating up constructs. Were it not for her perfect scores in the practical portions of the entrance exams, she would have never been accepted.

Magic:
Emi's magic ability is to create life. More accurately, it's to create living cells. She's not exactly good at it, either. Even though she can technically create muscle, bone, and more, they are all highly unstable. The amount that she can make isn't too impressive, either. At most, she can create a very poorly sculpted hand that disintegrates after a few minutes.

Viscera

Abomination

Appearance:
Viscera is... viscera. An ever changing amalgamation of organs and muscle, Viscera's appearance is constantly changing, but he does have a few notable forms. The first is his "stealth" form. Taking the appearance of a normal human leg, he is (for the most part) able to blend in with Emi's body. The only issue is that, like all of his transformations, something goes wrong. In the case of the leg, eyeballs comprise a portion of the surface. His other common forms include a eldritch abomination of flesh that can only be described as "a horrible blob" and a demonic flesh-sword that possesses arms and legs. He also oozes a considerable amount of ichor when he transforms, making constant messes.

Personality:
Contrary to Emi, Viscera is about as normal as a construct can be. He's rather laid back, but is willing to get serious when the time calls for it. Even though he's an eldritch horror of terrible things, he's actually a rather nice character. He's (compared to Emi) decently smart and willing to help others as best he can. He's polite and has a distaste for violence, causing him to hold back more often than not. Still, when he feels like there's no other option, he's willing to become violent. Despite his friendly demeanor and wisdom beyond his age (and species), he has a deep self-hatred over what he looks like since he is unable to control the exact specifics.

Core:
Normalcy

Background:
Formed by a young Emi's hand, Viscera's was designed to be a perfect mix of skeletal frames. After all, what shortcomings of each frame could surely be fixed by filling in those gaps with other frames? Well, most of those frames crumbled, disconnected, and cracked off since randomly attaching frames against the direct suggestion of proper design choice wasn't exactly the best idea. What was left was an aberrant core of conduit that formed the core of what Viscera was.

Then Viscera woke up. Flesh formed and created what was his body. It was a discordant mess of organs, muscle, bone, and other body parts. Besides an odd self-disgust of what we looked like, Viscera felt a bit okay about the entire deal. The one-armed girl that gave him life was a nice enough person, he thought. He might as well from a contract with her and go with her as thanks for creating him. Though a towel to clean up the ichor everywhere would have been nice.

Abilities:
Viscera can freely change his form to suit what the situation desires. Sword used by another construct? Perfectly fine. Combat blob that acts as the vanguard? That's his most optimal combat style. 45 foot tall monstrosity that crushes building and suplexes giant lizards? Extremely exhausting and horrific, but possible. Gun that shoots organ and bone at things? Weird, but he can do that. Besides his versatility, Viscera is a bit of a one trick pony. All of his attacks are varying degrees of punching things. The only other technique he possesses is getting things to trip on his ichorous secretions.

@OwO

Dude. This is great. I love this. Go ahead and post this in the CS tab already if you want to; I don't see a world in which I reject this lmao

A construct that runs out of life force and reverts back to a doll, will they still be influenced by their last donor/creator or will they lose all of their old personality?

I’m thinking to have revived a rogue unit, that still held some old traits and ideologies.

Also, what happens if a construct manages to assimilate a human?

@Dark Light

A construct that reverts back retains the physical form they had at the time of creation, but the organic parts will become a different substance suited to it (or will remain organic, in cases where no other material would be suitable- this kind of construct would be the only one that could truly 'die' naturally as they'd rot away). A new human injecting life-force only makes them operate again, retaining their mindset of the last time they were "alive". Similarly to below, doing this to a rogue construct could be risky, but this has a bit more chance of success as some of the more humane ones could recognize and acknowledge the kindness extended to them.

<Snipped quote by Hammerman>

Mm, thought wild constructs were basically rogues, so they'd just suck the life outta her rather than bring her to safety.

@ERode

While I guess it's technically possible a rogue construct could start feeling guilty about itself and have a change of heart, in 99% of cases you'd just get eaten, mutilated, sucked dry, assimilated or all kinds of good stuff that allows them to take your energy. Meeting a construct that wouldn't in a wild area would be akin to winning a lottery ticket.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

Hi, I'm thinking about making an application. But I'm not 100% sure I understand the difference between Concept and Archetype. My idea was something based on the "Hey Diddle Diddle" Nursery Rhyme, specifically the "Cow jumped over the moon" line, with the character kind of functioning like a Final Fantasy Dragoon with a focus on exaggerated jump attacks. But I'm not certain what would be the Concept and what would be the Archetype there.

@The 42nd Gecko

Concept is a theme while the archetype is a specific object or person. If you go over the current sheets, you can easily tell the difference. Mine, for example, has 'cats' as a general concept while 'Cat Sith' is the archetype.

This is a glossary of any and every NPC encountered in the RP, no matter how minor. If it is a contractor and construct pair, the contractor will be listed before the construct.

Re:Unison

Humans were always magical creatures.

Throughout human history, magic has been controversial. At times it was worshipped, at others, hunted down. People named it gods, myths, witches; anything to rationalize the concept. Yet, it never seemed to be proven. Most people didn’t believe magic existed; and truthfully, it didn’t. Not on any grand scale. Humans’ magical ability is weak. Even the most talented could only cure a minor illness or wound, make a small flame, create a subtle gust. This nature of magic- the fact it could never manifest itself in any grand way- caused humanity to think of it as nothing more than fairy tale.

But things eventually changed. Humans, through technology, managed to harness their magical ability by channeling it through something new; A construct. A construct was nothing more than a collection of machinal parts at first. A basic skeleton of wires and metal. But when the first mage claimed he could give it life, touched upon its surface, this skeleton changed. In a bright flash of light, it grew. Metal turned to bone, skin and flesh formed around this. Hair grew from the head. He created new life- a new ‘human’. But they were not truly human, for its personality was basic. The first construct was sentient, but only barely. Still, it turned out to be stronger, faster, more advanced than any human in its physical form.

As this miracle had unfolded, calamity struck the earth. At the peak of humans’ evolution, it was also the peak of their arrogance. Wildlife experimentation, rampant climate change; nature was steadily becoming more hostile to humanity as a race. Cities were flooded, overgrown, turned to ash and rubble… development in Construct technology advanced rapidly, because it was the only way to save humanity.

They could survive in this harsh new world, these constructs. Humanity was on the brink of extinction until the calamity finally subsided. In lesser numbers, confined to the few remaining cities still standing, humans had to rebuild everything they had lost. Constructs and humanity advanced to the point where anyone could share their lifeforce with a base skeleton and create their own, unique construct. As these machines were more resilient than any human, they could survive in the now-devastated lands where humanity itself could no longer. Constructs became the physical extension of humanity, while humanity focused solely on its intellectual duties.

However, having created new life, life which became ever more complex, it began to mirror its creator. A drive for freedom. Constructs that had taken the form of animals began to revert to a primal state, relying on pure instinct. Monstrous ones began to act like what they were. Humanoids revolted in organised fashion. These rogue units would flee to where humanity could not go. Even so, a construct could not survive without human lifeforce. It was their fuel, their sustenance. They were not reliant on food, water or sleep- but at the same time, without human magic, they would eventually run out and revert to the machine they once were, lifeless. Nothing more than a doll. So, the rogue units would attack humans- forcefully extract their magic from them.

Training facilities were formed, both academies and military institutes. Humans who wanted to combat rogue units, to act as the vanguard to the second calamity, to stop both races from dying out… those were enrolled. They, alongside their construct companion, would train. Train to become the true heralds of this new world.

[Int. Check]

How Constructs Function

As outlined above, Constructs do not have set body to begin with. They’re merely a basic collection of conduits at the start. A construct can take even the wildest physical shape, which becomes organic in nature once infused with the force of life. When a human tries to infuse life into one, this human’s life-energy will determine what kind of body is shaped. This depends on several factors, such as the human’s personality, drives, fears, hopes, etc. If your primary trait is to be lovesick, for example, love will play a big role in determining the construct’s personality… with a small catch.

Even if a human infuses multiple basic construct skeletons, they could still end up creating a multitude of different outcomes. Even if you were set to always create a humanoid, for example, their physical appearance would still be kind of a crapshoot. It’ll always look like some kind of ideal, and there might be a consistent theme (such as black hair), but the way the face is shaped, the proportions, how tall they are and even their gender is something that varies. Even the personality, such as the love described above, won’t always be the same. You have an equal chance of creating someone that’s overly obsessed with matchmaking people and loves seeing couples, as you do an overly jealous and spiteful person who’s repulsed by the very idea. The key is that both of these have ‘love’ as a core trait- something determined by the original infuser- but the manifestation turned out differently. This is based on the infuser’s mental state and physical condition at the time for one, but also in what amount they decided to donate lifeforce.

Constructs also use this as their fuel. While they can only be shaped once, and will forever exist as the personality given to them, they don’t have to always get their energy from the same person. A different human could very well voluntarily share their lifeforce with a construct, with the only difference being that it wasn’t the one that shaped them, thus having absolutely no bearing on the construct’s personality.

Constructs also have what amount to basic superpowers on their own. All of them are agile and strong, maybe some more than others, but depending on their form, they also have powers born from the original humans’ magic. A wolf-like construct could maybe grow in size or light itself on fire, or a slime-like being could spew acidic substances/shape itself into any form it desires. The possibilities are limitless for what can be created, but constructs can generally not evolve past a certain state. Not without the help of a human… willing or forced.

The Relationship Human/Construct

The way humans and constructs operate is a mite weird. While constructs, on their own, could operate entirely autonomous, this isn’t quite optimal. More optimal is forming a contract with a human, which manifests itself as a symbol on some part of both of their bodies, such as the cheek or back of the hand. This can only happen with mutual consent. Once this is made, the dynamic shifts. A construct can no longer attack its human partner, but it also gains infinite access to the human’s lifeforce. If the construct is strong enough it could attempt to assimilate the human and drain it dry, but this is not usually what does and can happen.

Humans are naturally resilient, so unless the human himself is in an extremely weakened or mentally incapacitated state, they’ll be able to resist the drainage quite handily. A human can also choose to terminate the contract at any time, making the symbol vanish from the both of them. Constructs act as the vessel for a human to channel their own magic through, so on top of a construct’s natural ability, the human can enhance it with their own spells. Someone with the natural affinity for water, for example, could make a construct move through it at breakneck speeds, given they know how to. However, casting any spell like this drains the user of vitality, much like how keeping the construct moving would. Abuse could lead to collapsing in exhaustion, or even death.

Some humans consider constructs superior. Some others inferior. Some equal. These themes can and probably will be played with. Constructs can think this too, but bound ones would, as a rule of thumb, be less inclined to think of themselves as superior. Equality or inferiority have about an equal chance, though.

If the human is particularly strong or talented, they can do one, or both, of the following. The first would be that a human could override the personality of their bound construct, controlling them like a true puppet. This is hard as it requires your mental fortitude to be magnitudes stronger than the construct. The second, is being bound to more than one construct at a time. This one becomes hard because the life-force you share becomes doubled, or even tripled at all times. It is physically exhausting to keep up with multiple bodies feeding off of your essence. Doing both would require an exceedingly strong mentality and body to not only control multiple minds at the same time, but also multiple bodies. A human like this would likely be able to force a contract on a construct against its will, but it's questionable someone like this would even exist.

The world

The world still operates in cities, mainly. The remnants of humanity that survived in different parts of the world have each repurposed old architecture and made it into something new, something more. Only four general areas survived the great calamity; The combination of the upper United States & lower Canada, Western Europe, Japan and Australia. The rest of the world either fell victim to the lack of available Construct technology or succumbed to a climate that was impossible to survive. With each of these being on separate continents, it was initially hard to establish trade routes again, but humanity has found a way. The combination of the United States and Canada were rebranded to a general “America” while the rest of the world retained Europe, Japan and Australia as their names.

Cities, however, or at least the ones that exist today, have been renamed. Most of them have also gotten much larger; what would previously be the size of a small country is now the entire span of a single city. Outside of city borders, and even inside some parts of them, rages wildlife. The type depends on the climate you come from. America alternates between harsh winter landscapes and slightly milder, if a bit tropical fauna and flora. Australia has massive swathes of desert. Europe has rampant forestry. Japan’s awkward geological location made it have all of those in different parts of the country.

Technology has advanced, but still mirrors the old world. After the calamity, scientists managed to find a way to make nuclear energy slightly less dangerous compared to before, and with a lack of any other suitable energy sources available for the moment, most of society’s technology is powered on this in some minor form. Another energy source, hydrogen, while unstable, has proven to be their only other option at the time. While containing obvious risks, hydrogen fuel cells have nevertheless been adopted into modern technology. Humans have also found ways to defy gravity itself, and thus have created what amounted to flying bikes, cars and hoverboards. Hologram technology has also replaced traditional screens of old.

Politics

Each of the four parts have similar political systems. While the individual laws may vary, generally, each of them operates in a sort of democracy. In order to make society run smoothly, after regulated periods of time, citizens vote on a board of directors which will decide the general course of their nation. This consists of two people for one function, per function; Economy, Education, Welfare, Military, ... which rounds out to about 20-30 individuals dependant on which part of the world you're in and which subjects they value. The two-person system is there so that both individuals would have to agree to a bill in order to propose it to the general public, which, if they vote it through, becomes an actual law. For global matters, however, the board decides internally on which members to send to meetings. There is no one explicit leader, though each board may of course assign one in a private manner if they desire to.

This generally unified political system was caused because of the total anarchy that reigned for a while, having entire governments collapse in on itself. The world united and decided on this new system, so while the look of any given continent may vary depending on their historical values, people universally came to this solution in order to prevent needless conflict within humanity's ranks. Currently, there are no known constructs in any kind of political power, however, and constructs generally do not have voting rights. This is due to a multitude of factors.

Information needed for Sign-ups

The RP will take place in the remnants of Japan. Japan has been segregated into two major strongholds: One occupying the former Kanto and Tohoku regions, named "Shinchi" (新地) and the former Kansai region, now named "Yoake" (夜明け)^[1]. Trade between these two is extremely tricky due to the Chubu region between them being absolutely overrun with dangerous wildlife, so most trade happens by sea. The PC's will be a part of the Geiru (ゲイル) institute just off the border between the former Chubu and current Yoake. Their objective is to train young, willing Construct users to use their power to reclaim Japan's lost regions and rebuild society even further. Geiru is one of the more acclaimed institutes around the world, so some foreigners who've taken appropriate language courses & cleared the required tests have come here to train as well.

Geiru's methods apply very little theory and are mostly practical skirmishes between applicants. Those with proper training are also brought along on recon or strike missions into the Chubu region, as the military can use any help they could get.

^{[1]Editor's note: I'm not Japanese so don't kill me if these sound ridiculous ;w; I'm trying my best here.}

In the hiders I provide a basic template of what you can follow, but you're free to organise it at your leisure. The sections provided must be filled in, but I'm not particularly bothered by the specifics of your aesthetic sense. Remember: Each Human must be bound to a construct and each construct a human. You're free to try and break this rule, but you'll need to have a damn compelling argument if you want me to buy it. I'm going to be limiting this to two characters per person for now, but they're free to choose any kind. If you want to play two humans, you're allowed, if you can find two other players who're willing to play construct partners.

Human character

[center][b]Name:[/b]
(For bonus points, refer to section 2B in the manual.)

[b]Age:[/b]
(16-20, unless you have a good reason to break this. I am predisposed to dislike child prodigy characters.)

[b]Appearance:[/b]
(I'm fine with a picture, description or both. No limits!)

[b]Personality:[/b]
(I know you, applicant, don't have any IRL, but try to think of what it's like to not be a lizard person. At least, for this one.)

[b]Background:[/b]
(I'm loose on this; just give me enough to work with. Make it whatever you want, too, just don't get too crazy. Or do, if you think you can pull it off. Bonus points for explaining how they met their construct!)

[b]Magic:[/b]
(Aside from the power to bond with, give life to and control Constructs, every human has some latent magical ability. Whether that be healing, elemental or some kind of utility-based power, if it's channeled through a construct, it becomes that much more potent! Give me a short explanation of what yours is like.)

Construct character

[center][b]Name:[/b]
(megaman sprite comic)

[b]Type:[/b]
(Bestial? Humanoid? Monstrous? Aeroplane? What kind of Construct are you?)

[b]Appearance:[/b]
(Again, a picture or a description is fine.)

[b]Personality:[/b]
(If you want a good reference, I implore you to look up Coldsteel the hedgehog! He's got a great one.)

[b]Core:[/b]
(You can merge this with personality and background if you wish, but a construct always has one concept at the core of their being. Whether it be love, hate, determination, flowey the flower- just mention what kind of concept shaped them into what they are now.)

[b]Background:[/b]
(Constructs do not have to have always been with the same human. They could've been born earlier or later, seen a multitude of owners or none. Get creative! Get Dark! But not too dark! Unless that's your thing? Either way, bonus points if you explain how they met your moth- human!)

[b]Abilities:[/b]
(Constructs are pretty powerful beings. They could lay waste to an old-world city by themselves, though current architecture is hopefully sturdy enough to withstand such blows. Explain what makes yours unique, though! These things are super-powered, after all.)
