@ZelosseYou tricky sod. Put that profile in the CS.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@ZelosseApproved on the condition you put the name.

Edit: The sheets all good but you need the name :p

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@Dumb1And1LazyFirst strike. No is no, and that is my GM criteria. Two more and you are barred from this rp. Further spamming this thread beating the same dead horse will increase the number of strikes.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@AtomicNut People that hesitate don't last long either. Dying's not the worst thing that can happen, as a human being it's to be expected since they're so disposable who cares if a few die to do their mission. It's statistically true that 1 sorc's worth 10 thousand normal humans. Going against monsters that completely break reality and have every advantage and losing is common, even expected. I never said I wouldn't be a team player, just that I don't like or trust witches which is completely within lore and something you've mentioned multiple times before. Teammates are important so I completely plan to be friendly just to everybody else, numbers and training are two of the most important things you need to kill a superior foe along with equipment and planning. I'd say drugs too but for some reason the people I talk to about killing magical girls, Nazi cyborgs and Wehrmacht Spider mechs disagree.

@Dumb1And1Lazy

My decision still stands. Sociopaths need to be handled with care and it is not the kind of character i would allow to someone unless i know they can be trusted with it.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@AtomicNut ... Is that no on the detonators or no on the sociopath because I've found it's hard to kill witches without being a BIT of a sociopath, at least as another human being because you can't make mistakes like the special people that have the power of straight up magic. You've got to make sure you bring to bear as much firepower at any given time without mercy or else even if you don't your squaddies die. Cut/burn their tongues/fingers if possible to get an advantage especially if the people up top give you the suicide mission of getting one alive. Plus all these people keep wanting to keep witches alive just because they're young women but that personally makes me want to kill them even more. They're a bunch of whores and monsters anyway but people always hesitate because cute girl and hot chick when their puppy dog eyes tell me to shoot them in the throat.

@Dumb1And1Lazy

Both. Non team-players do not last.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@AtomicNut But if I'm the only trooper here AND I survive a few missions can I get their dets?!? I was planning on just being kind of a dick to witches but if there's more of them I have this inexplicable want to go full sociopath!

@Dumb1And1Lazy

No.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

@Sanity43217 Character is approved. Just bear in mind that while the sorcery section of GRAM is full of teenage impressionable girls, the vast majority of GRAM and the Allied Nations has reservations against magic users, so rockstar... eeeh let's say he tries.

@Dumb1And1LazySorcery overseeing is usually entrusted to senior personnel, not just overexcitable recruits so no. Not a chance.

GRAM - The Witch Hunters

So, gotta few questions. Trying to iron out a character concept.

1 - You mention Male Witches being super rare. Are they available as a player character?
2 - You say there are genetic markers for witches. With the help of magic, would it be possible to create a serum that granted a form of magic to normal people? Like an experimental type of super soldier?
3 - Where are we at with MUWs? Can I make a character that uses them? Like a pendant that increases his physical attributes and a pistol that fires magic bullets?

@Sanity43217

1- Yes, they are playable. I may object to an entire team of warlocks/sorcerers though. Warlocks/sorcerers are treated a bit better than female magic users due to the rarity and the fact that they aren't immediately singled out as magic users. It also helps that due to the recessive condition of witch genes, warlock and witch couples have a greatly increased chance of having magic user children.
2-Well, genetic therapy is in its diapers as in our world. Magic only adds a potent unknown to the mix. The 100% sure genetic rewriting that gives you magical powers are actually certain supernal methods of spreading like vampiric infection. They tend to drive the victim insane though so they're off the table. Surely, experiments about artificial humans and humans in general happen (more on the witches' side), but the results are not very good. It's possible for such a procedure to happen but it would plague the one receiving it with an unreliable health condition, and possibly the hazards of mutation and dropping dead at random. (In practice anything like this that involves magic will involve the "fickle" rule. If you want such a character you must consent that the GM can kill him at any time for any reason and without warning).
3- GRAM is capable of creating minor enchantments of power and durability in tools and weapons, but they're very limited. Witches can have strong, fancier enchantments on their tools, but the tradeoff is that the weapons are usually obsolete (you're very lucky if you manage to get an old AK enchanted with homing bullets lying somewhere.)

Royal Rumble!

Diana

@Scarifar@Bartimaeus@Gentlemanvaultboy@rawkhawk64

Diana jerked upwards upon seeing Ria's unbecoming feint to pry her away. Reluctantly, she backed off, a hint of a snarl in the corners of her mouth, as she eyed Kheraket on the corner of her eye. So much for having a little fun without getting caught, huh. I might need to strongarm this situation a little... although the little body of the witch will not last. The psychopomp thought, as her attention was drawn elsewhere. First, a huge rumble, which shook her unsteady balance and that of Ria's. It seemed the battle above raged on.

Then a second presence was walking towards the medical bay. Ragged clothes and skirt, a mask. Bruises and blood stains. Lightbringer. The muted conscience of the witch she inhabited recognized him first. That and the large girl besides him, who was in a similar if not even worse, state of sorry dressing, what with a Saint Laurel's uniform full of blood.

"Well, looks like people have been naughty on my absence..." Celestine said in his usual singsong mocking tune, but those who knew him would notice how he was barely able to contain his tiredness, rage and frustration this time around. He had received a call from his fellow Mephisto students, and thanks to having cajoled the titty monster he enjoyed an airborne lift back. Apparently a bunch of students had a fracas with Clara, and now they had been forcefully teleported inside the battlezone as end result.

So much for a little skull cracking. It turned out to be more babysitting. Cel looked at Meredith. "Well, let's do this, my demon lady." He said, as he pointed at the fellow fallen students."Could you whip one of your healing spells and get them patched up, and then we shall do a little...dance." Celestine added.

"I'm hungry." The student said, in an almost whisper, as she stumbled almost on Celestine. "I need more food." She added.

"Yes, yes I shall invite you to dinner." Celestine added as he tapped his foot against the ground of the pavillion. "But fi-"

The Fallen One never finished the sentence, before Meredith drew her arms around him and gave him a long kiss, knocking the mask off him in the process.

We have to help Lightbringer, that's- Diana thought to herself, trapped in her body. But her partner in crime did not move an inch, having a sort of perverse pleasure to see comeuppance to what seemed a slimy individual. Celestine tried to struggle, but it was in vain. Caught off guard, the tall and demonic Meredith had strength to spare to keep him pinned down.

He stumbled to the ground, gaping for air like a fish tries to breathe outside water. Meredith wiped her mouth with her forearm after the deed, not giving him a second glance. "Better now. That hit the spot..." She said, almost giddy, to the rush of having followed her instincts and awakened the traditional way of succubus feeding. She bit her hand, and drew a circle to perform first aid on those present, a small smirk in her face.

It had been the first time she had tried to shut her heart and tried to think with her head. Like her mother seemed to do all the time. Turns out, she wasn't as dumb as she initially thought of herself. She had seen through this man's attempts to manipulate her. He wanted a demoness to sic on enemies, to answer his beck and call. But he had also nearly killed her. It was a fair retaliation. She thought to herself. She was trash too. He was trash. She had made a lot of people miserable. Yet, when she was looking at her fellow companions and students, she bitterly admitted that she could only be friends with people if she helped them overcome these kinds of situations.

Life wasn't fair. And fights and love weren't either. So she had no qualms to use any kind of dirty deed at her disposal. "I'm sorry Ria, Dee. I have been too much of a bitch obsessed with Wolfie. I needed to get a grip." She said somberly, before spreading her wings, revitalized.

The reaper inhabiting Diana could not help but restrain her laugh at the amusement the situation provided. It was better than a cheap pulp novel, that was for sure. And seeing the slimy man crawling like a worm after being tricked by a demonic girl seemed to also produce a small amusement in Diana.

"Sh.shit." Celestine said, his forces all but gone. "But I guess this also works...too. Diana could you help me?" The trickster almost begged, talking to the small girl. The Moira moved, before squatting next to Celestine's face, and producing a handkerchief, wiped his lips of demonic saliva. "There, you have no longer taste of demongirl in you. I mean, what did you expect, leaving me to die and all? Be lucky that I am not turning you into one of my summons, Lightbringer."

"Well I guess we can't really fight like this." Not-Diana added, before taking a seat, and allowing her wounds to slowly heal.

I think I am getting a little better at this. She mentally thanked herself for a good well done.

@Gentlemanvaultboy@supertinyking

The arena was chaos around her, as Meredith scoured the battlefield that still raged. She had never seen so much corruption besides her own house in one place. And they were powerful. She was drained. But she had awakened a power to replenish herself rather quickly. So she needed to do like the funny man with the funny hat and the accent like that princess-like first year. Divide and conquer. After grabbing a shocked random minor snack on the way and tossing his drained self into a recycle bin post-draining kiss, she set her sights on a rather curious aggrupation of monsters. Some cultists brimming with eerie power backing up a monster made of flesh, sinew and tentacles, fighting yet another monster made of flesh. Also some half mechanical bull half man cutting people down.

It looked like the videos her mother always shown her. But it had a distinctive quality. Only a few of those seemed... tainted. So she swooped, and perched on the nearest salient, ready to pounce. She needed to be careful to win this. No more reckless Meredith.

Unfortunately silver is generally considered to be a more anti-lycanthrope measure, and salt is more anti-ghost in theory. A lot of anti-supernatural warfare info is still being researched, and field testing is common to see what is the M.E.T.A to deal with different creatures. When in doubt however, put it full of enough holes it can't regrow is the general motto.
