[ Interest Check ] WitchBlood

Nice to see interest! I'll have the official thread up by tomorrow~

Yeah, I'm here for the Psycho Vamps. Swap out the 'W' in witch with a 'B.' Yeah, that is what's good.

@This Girlie

Hmm? Do you mean you're interested in playing a vampire?

[ Interest Check ] WitchBlood

Other-Tokyo: a pocket dimension that exists atop the Tokyo of the real world. This realm is home to the military academy known as Black Babel—an organization that trains Witches to combat the threat of psionic Vampires who insatiably hunt the humans of this world. With a relentless hunger for brain matter and psychic energy, the Vampires wish to cultivate humanity into their cattle; securing their sovereignty over Other-Tokyo. Armed with magic and special weaponry designed to kill the resilient fiends, Witches are humanity's only hope of avoiding such a bleak future.

A Witch's magic can be divided into three independent categories: Curses, Charms, and Crafts. Curses are to harm and bind. Charms are to protect and invoke positive effects. Crafts is the classification of creation, the illusory, and the miscellaneous. With these three pillars of magic, a Witch can effectively incapacitate a vampiric threat. But to kill is another subject entirely. Thus the requirement for a Witch's WAND. The Wiccan Anti-eNergy Disperser is a special device in the shape of a firearm that unleashes shells of Anti-Energy fatal to Vampires. Aim for the head or the heart and fire—the singular method of exterminating your target. Beyond that, a Witch may have other tricks within their arsenal such as a broom for high-speed flight or potions to enhance their physiology.

This world is also host to demonic, bestial creatures called Daemons who live alongside the realm's inhabitants in a symbiotic relationship. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some act as companions, some provide resources, some exist as buildings or transportation, but all are useful in one way or another to the denizens of Other-Tokyo. The Daemons are an integral part of life in this dimension, utilized by both humans and Vampires alike in their daily existence.

You are a member of Black Babel's 176th Xcursion Regiment, or, at least you will be. After years of rigorous academy training, you are on the verge of graduating into a full-fledged member of the organization. However, there is one last trial that you must pass: exterminate a Vampire. Your squad arrives at an abandoned mansion on the eve of your final test. Live or die: this is the choice you will make in your hunt for a Vampire. Relinquish your fears and anxieties, and always hold close the motto of the Xcursionists:

'X marks the kill.'

Welcome to this Anime-style RP that centers around an unceasing war between Witches and psionic Vampires. Our setting is Other-Tokyo, a pocket dimension that sits on top of normal Tokyo inaccessible to ordinary humans. Other-Tokyo has it's own population of normal humans that can't cross to the other side either, along with having Vampires and Daemons. Witches, through their magic, can hop between dimensions.

Other-Tokyo is pretty much the same as modern day Tokyo but with some notable architecture changes such as the huge spiraling blue tower shown in the above picture. That is Black Babel, the military academy and headquarters of the Witches. The world is a mix of modern day conveniences and Daemons taking shape of numerous things. Think of the Catbus from Totoro for a visual key. There are Daemons in the shape of buildings, trains, buses, giant display screens. Daemons exist that provide natural resources like electricity, coal, natural gas, crops, meat, etc. They basically can fill any niche. Even a Witch's Familiar is a type of Daemon.

As you can probably already tell, you'll be playing a Witch (a unisex term) who will be assigned to the 176th Xcursion Regiment. The 176th is the specific squad. An Xcursion Regiment is the broad term for a Witch squad whose job is to hunt and eliminate Vampires. Black Babel has its own uniforms for its members. There are 2 variants each for males and females. The other standard gear is a WAND which typically looks like a one-handed firearm (something ornate like a fancy flintlock pistol). There is a lot of liberty in what your magic can look like. It's Anime so be creative.

I'm looking to tell a story with a small group of players. This RP will be mostly plot-driven and I'm always open for story ideas from my players. I require that you commit to posting at least once per week and be able to communicate with me if you can't do so. Posting length is flexible but should at least meet the minimum requirements of the Casual section.

@metanoia Alternatively, just put them in a hider instead of having to cross them out, but yes, you can. In fact @Matsuri has done something like that.

@Relin At some points in the story, I'll tell you guys to add new spells/techniques and such. I have it planned out.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Final dorm assignments are up on the character's tab 0th post.

World Beyond the Lexicon

How far out can we bail before Nyx just disqualifies us? Thinking of stealing Kress’ special move.

@samakama

I'm hoping Misaiya actually tries or be clever about it. Nyx needs a reason to keep him lol

World Beyond the Lexicon

Sure, but only humans and devils have high intellect and sentience.

World Beyond the Lexicon

@Blu Should probably put the dorm setups in the Character tab or something. I don't see it placed anywhere else obvious right now.

@ERode

I'll get to that when I have the time but right now I believe that info is on page 8 & 9 of the OOC.

these matches are getting real intesnse, I love it! can't wait to see the others

@Matsuri

Same. These battles are great!

World Beyond the Lexicon

Well, that seems to be a darn big arena considering what's happening. I wonder if our dear Teach can even see everyone or if he's gonna pick the ones to kick with a dice roll.

@KoL

Don't underestimate Nyx's ass pull magic!

"The weakest will be expelled!" Yeah, anime teachers always make good on that threat. Totally credible threat. Haha.

@Relin

Students will be expelled. It just happens to be that the ones being expelled are the nameless npcs. Now to think of a reason to keep Misaiya...

World Beyond the Lexicon

@Blu The problem is that a certain someone refuses to surrender, even as ghosts are about to rip out his eyes.

@Dead Cruiser

Lmao oh boy. Have you guys already made a decision on the winner and, if so, I can have Nyx step in if you want?

World Beyond the Lexicon

@Blu So, asking for a friend, at what point will Nyx step in and call a match loss? Loss of sight? Loss of limb? Loss of life?

@Dead Cruiser

Loss of consciousness or loss of will to continue. And to be clear, no one’s losing any body parts here. Let’s not maim our classmates, shall we? Some broken bones are fine. Avalice has a pretty good medical staff.
