Rise of the Shield Hero - Waves of Chaos

@vancexentan if you need/want a player to be the Bow hero I could make a sheet real quick and have it to you ASAP. I can npc Rician and the whole Bow's party if you'd like but that's totally up to you.

Rise of the Shield Hero - Waves of Chaos

I guess the question will stand do we wait for another player to take the Bow, NPC it, or have one of us take it? At least those are the options that I see

Interaction: Cole - Sword Hero (@vancexentan) Myrila (@Hammerman)

The speech the Sword gave caused Rician to give a questioning eye, he sounded static and stiff like this was a standard thing he gave when he met new people. Curious. Still fingering the coin through both hands Rician simply waved the Sword off as he responded,

"Calm down Brother Sword, you need not concern yourself. I am no stranger to mischief and as long as we come back heroes that's all I need. The details will work themselves out."

"KUWAHHH!!"

The loud squawking of the red filolial in his robe brought attention that he needed to feed his little friend so in the midst of planning their strategy Rician pulled out a small piece of fish and bread and fed the chick. The human woman, a stronger mage than he, prattled on about something about nobility and the like. A noble woman, strange thing to see a noble among the common folk. Melromarc is a strange land indeed. When the idea of better equipping Brother Sword came up Rician couldn't agree more,

"Yes I concur. I could use some better equipment myself. Lead the way Brother Sword."

Interaction: None (any who wants to)

The trip from Q'Ten Lo had been an arduous one and at last he finally made it here to Melromarc's throne room in the presence of the Legendary Heroes. Until this point he had kept himself in the back and away from the prying eyes of those who did not hold demi-humans in high regard. It was no secret that Melromarc was a pro-human country and, while he had no intention of hiding his true nature, Rician knew better than to pick a fight before he had a shield to hide behind.

Speaking of, he eyed the Shield Hero as he stood lined up.

'Not much to look at it seems.'

In fact none of the Heroes seemed like much of course he wasn't sure what he was expecting either really. The Sword was the first to draw his attention as his honorable attitude reminded him of some of the Brothers back home which brought a faint smile to his face. A hero whose sole attribute was to attack seemed like the perfect fit for him. As Rician casually walked through the crowd twirling a gold coin in his hand he walked behind the Spear Hero with nary a word but cheesey smile on his face.

As much as I watch the show why am I having confusion about the selection process between adventures and heroes lol. So they line up and just choose or is it that the king says who wants to go with Shield (goes with Shield) who wants to go with Sword so on and so forth?

Biography:

For most of his formative years, it could be said that Rician had a hard life. Born an orphan in Q'Ten Lo he lived as many orphan children lived without guidance. Raised in an orphanage run by Miko priestess he was always one to get into mischief whether it was pranking local farmers out of their crops or tricking his way into bathhouses to play the peeping tom his name stayed on the lips of the locals who didn't pay much heed to the mischievous boy. It wasn't until the day he grew his second tail at the age of thirteen did others begin to pay closer attention. Particularly a group that called themselves the Brothers of the Nine.

A fringe religion of thieves, tricksters and mages, the Brothers began to pay closer attention to the boy when his pranks became more and more elaborate to a point where things began to defy logic. When approached by a Brother in particular it was discovered that Rician possessed a magical knack for illusions which took his pranks to an entirely different level. When offered with a chance to better not only his life but the lives of the other orphans if he used his talents for the Brotherhood Rician quickly said yes and thus began a four year long spree of pranks and thievery.

As the years progressed, however, the pranks grew more violent and the damage became more serious which began to vex the young illusionist. When the word of the Waves approaching reached Q'Ten Lo Rician took the opportunity to leave his homeland in search of greater opportunities in the party of a Legendary Hero than in the company of the Brotherhood. So tricking his way into the group of dignitaries heading to Melromarc he, along with his newly hatched filolial (which he stole) now prays that he can actually make changes in the world be aiding in the Waves defeat.

Preferred Weapon(s): Magic (Specifically Illusions)

Abilities of Weapon: While, as a mage he does some offensive capabilities, Rician prefers to befuddle his opponents with illusions taking inspiration from kitsune mages of old.
----

Skills/Abilities:

Name of Skill: Fox Fire

Abilities of Skill: Fires a series of three orbs of blue fire which attach themselves and engulf a single target upon impact (up to 3).

Downsides of Skill: As it is an illusion based spell once the target becomes aware of its nature it can be easily dispelled.

Name of Skill: Transformation

Abilities of Skill: Allows Rician to transform either himself or a target into a living creature of his choice. While transformed in this way the individual looks like and sounds like the intended object. (I.e. if changed into an animal it looks and sounds like that animal and the same for a person)

Downsides of Skill: As an illusion based spell once the target becomes aware it can be dispersed. Also when transforming into a person it may sound like the person but without knowledge of the person your transforming into the guise is easily broken.

Name of Skill: Vanish

Abilities of Skill: Rician appears to vanish in a plume of fire when in truth he simply turns invisible for a short time allowing him to escape or maintain the illusion in order to gain a better tactical advantage or gather information.

Downsides of Skill: This skill requires concentration to maintain and if that concentration is broken for any reason the spell will disperse.
