Current It's been three years since we lost Polymorpheus, a dear friend. It's felt like a lot longer, that time. I still think about Poly every so often, and how I miss them so very much. I won't forget them.

Bio

uhhhh, hi there

I am here and I sorta exist so yes this is my ‘bio’ and it will probably be rather brief and suck and be sloppy, just like me.
So, without further ado..

stuff about me

Most people call me Barti or Bart as well as a few other things since it’s just easier or meaner than the actual thing - I invite you to do so as well.

I’m a 23-year-old (bday June 20th!) Texan who enjoys thunderstorms and rain far too much, and likes anime, running, metal music, and copious amounts of DRUGS candy, among many other cool things - like DnD and MTG.

I enjoy group rps as well as 1x1s. For groups I have what I think is a decent array of interests, most of it being profusely weeb-y. I like Fantasystuffs (Modern especially), supernatural themes, pretty much all Japanese stuff - including historically accurate settings - as well as general dark/grim themes, comedic slice of life trash, academy rps, unique plots, etc. etc. As for 1x1s I pretty much do romance, but I can do non-romantic stuff too if you give me something to work with xP
The only genre I find myself not entirely comfortable with is really sci-fi stuff, but, if the plot/idea catches me enough it can hold my interest. Oh, and my writing level is high casual to low advanced.

I’m a sarcastic, snarky, bipolar-depressed, degenerate garbage can, but generally people seem to like me (I don’t know why in the hot hell you would) - but if you would also like to be my friendo lemme know.
I don’t bite.
Usually owo xd rawr

welppp...I guess that’s okay for now
thanks for reading, you potatoes

"Richer"/ Weaver






It was time. Time for Richer to once again prove his usefulness to the Red-Star company.

Of all the organizations he had sold out his services to, Red-Star was one of the highest-paying, and most supportive. Most others usually had him move out on his own against difficult odds, without anything more than himself and his NC, and scraps of information on his target(s). Not that he needed any more than that, but it raised his already-high chance of success.

However, taking part in an all-out war was not something they commonly had him do. But, he was in a contract with Red-Star, and they called for his services. Meaning this was mandatory. It wasn't as if he was forced to throw himself out onto the front lines, but his presence was, indeed, mandatory.

But it likely wasn't an issue. From how things seemed to Richer, Red-Star wore the big-boy pants in this war. But that was no reason to underestimate an opponent. Especially with the technological innovations of the current day and age running about.

But now, Richer was sheltered in the snug cockpit of his NC, Weaver. It moved lightly along, towards the rear of the rest of Red-Star NC's that would be initiating in combat shortly, its extra appendages - that separated its identity from the rest of the NCs - encased around the body of the machine, providing a light, bronze-colored cage-armor.

Being that both of Richer's NCs carry a tight-fit cockpit(thought not without room for movement), he was actually quite comfortable. And a small cockpit provides one advantage over larger ones, even if it may be negligible - it is harder to knock the pilot around with brute movements.

But to get back on track - well, off-track - Richer would separate from the rest of his regiment, stirring various controls to cause his NC to veer off away from the group, to their left. He aimed to flank around the middle of the city - the spot where he gauged this battle would pivot on.

And of course, he would do so with discretion. Using the many buildings to his advantage, Richer would slink off into the city, with high likelihood of going unnoticed. Due to the build of his NC, crouching and skulking were one of a handful of things he used to counter the mechanical beast's lack of heavy armor - if he could catch an enemy NC off-guard or out of position, they were potential easy prey.

As he moved into position, the pilot's gloved hand moved to the control panel, flipping one of the many switches that decorated it. Unremarked to the outside world, the many spinnerets that were spread throughout Weaver's body began to spin slowly, emitting minute clicking sounds that not even Richer could hear. But he knew they were in function. He's done this procedure hundreds of times. Now, he was preparing to fabricate webs.

When it was time - they would be ready.

Richer glanced at the munitions panel that displayed the ammo loaded into Weaver's 37mm cannon. The distraction tool had a rotating, two-cylinder system that would allow the machine to fire either one of its ammunition types at a moments notice - at short or long ranges. And for now, it was loaded with special 'Smoke Jelly' munitions and Napalm Shells.

The Mercenary had a position in mind already. But for now, he would have to delay the use of such a position, as it might draw too much attention to some sensitive sensors. Once the gunfire started however, was a different story.

But for now, as he prowled on the outskirts of the City, he would have to wait.

Aegus Reister





Aegus looked down at his watch after turning his eyes away from the witch. Ugh. I've spent far too long in the presence of these people. I wouldn't want to start smelling like them...I should take my leave. he worried.

But before he did so, he thought to himself, Ah, well...actually. I should allow the commoners at-least a way to contact me, since I'm not sure exactly when this tournament is...

He begrudgingly drew a fancy pen from his chest pocket and, grabbing a scrap piece of paper that hadn't blown away, scribbled a few digits on the sheet and folded it simply. He then held it out to Nidgardt between his index and thumb, as if the two touching the same object would sicken him - literally.

As the DragonDemon took the slip of paper, Aegus released it and turn towards the door, only to see another student blocking the entrance.

...

He seemed to be searching for a witch - but Aegus didn't much care for the commonfolk's conversations, usually. He provided the two in the doorway a wide girth, before slipping past.

Before he left however, he saw the newest arrival - the one with skin made of stone, from the looks of it - draw out a gold coin. It looked genuine.

I will have to remember that...perhaps his cover does not match his contents. Aegus pondered. ..or he's another commoner and it's more fake wealth.. thought his more pessimistic self.

The shorter student then continued his way out into the hall, making his was to some unknown classroom while trying seemingly very hard to not let anybody touch him on the way there.
@Ithradine Here he is!! :D

Aegus Reister





The Dragon-looking boy thought over Aegus' proposition while nodding, and presumably figuring out how to address a man of such stature - before accepting his offer. And of course the Rustics would accept his involvement in their recreations! They had little choice! If they truly wished to shove their opponents into the dirt, they required someone of class. Someone who didn't just swing their weapon, or magic, or...claw...wildly around the battlefield and hope to strike a winning blow.

The other boy stood up, his extra height over Aegus easily emphasized. Hfft...the meek still do not realize to stoop in the presence of their betters, he scoffed inwardly, but of little toil I suppose...perhaps I can teach them proper etiquette while they are cheering me on during this tournament..

"You'll be the first member of the team then."

"Only naturally.." Aegus said as he looked at the raised hand with an unpleasant look, reminiscent of how a wolf raises its lips to reveal its teeth and deliver a snarl.

How dare he even suggest...Gah. The lack of manner is almost unbearable.. he thought, feeling a little queasy at the thought of shaking Nidgardt's hand.

However - Aegus' attention soon turned elsewhere before he could decline the hand. Close by, another savior was granting a gift. Though...it seemed this gift would be transferred through physical contact, not the likes that Aegus would allow himself to commit. The voluptuous girl he had seen as he had been eavesdropping seemed to be using her powers on this other person, who had entered the room shortly before the Equip-user.

Soon enough though, after the girl's action, ghostly chains soon surrounded the shy lower-person..

BOOF!

A lusty, thunderous noise boomed as the chains blew apart, sending nearby classroom objects across the room. Books, flyers, papers - one of which flew straight into Aegus' face, who was standing quite close by - all sent tumbling through the air by the sudden release of power. The short boy's long white hair was blasted out of place as well, now looking quite unruly as he reached up to peel the parchment from his face and throw it away.

The dust was cleared - and the first thing the boy noticed was one of the spectral chains was uncomfortably close to his face - as he hadn't moved backwards even a step. His hand slowly rose up from below, forming around the ominous glowing chain, though without touching it. Then he looked past it.

"Oh..?" It had seemed...the one person become...two? "Peculiar.." he pondered aloud.

But suddenly, during the other student's bouts of joy, the chains rattled and pulled handsomely away from Aegus, reforming closer to their charge, then emitting a bright flash.

And then only one was left..

...I must admit...even if they are peasants...some of their powers are oddities of which I am intrigued by.. Aegus conceded to himself.

His thought was interrupted by another student rushing from the hall, asking if they were all okay.

"Of course I--" he started to say, but someone else beat him to it.

“We're fine,” they said. “please leave us. We're in the middle of a meeting.”

Aegus looked to the speaker. It was a girl he had met recently after he had arrived to this school - Alicia. He was never quite sure why he had hung out with her, but people did call her a Witch on a daily basis. Perhaps her looks had distracted him from her lower-caste level long enough for her to plant him with a spell? In any case, it was of little significance. They hadn't hung out for long. Merely a day.

Now she was to him as most other students were - a simple boor.
Err, well yeah. Her power is to become a gargoyle and have powers similar to one.

I'll see what I can do I guess
@VitaVitaAR Here is my CS Submission ^^ Hope it is good for you xP

I have a question - can magical girls sense other magical girls? As I understand it, we won't be restricted to any one area(besides Japan). If so, how will we find other magical girls?
I may have some interest in this, if you're still allowing. Will be working on something.
