FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

I have added the additional information~

FairyTail: Golden Dragoon Guild

I used to love watching Fairy Tail like 3 years ago. Good memories. Although I lost interest in the show, I do love the universe it is based in. Such a perfect rp setting imo.

Here is my character. Yes it's Eileen from Bloodborn; sue me. I did want to write more in the history, but I've never tried revealing stuff IC before and it sounds interesting! A little bit out of my comfort zone but I'm sure it'll be fun.

Nevertheless, I hope you'll have me!

Shalquoir, the Hunter

Name: Shalquoir Gilbert
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Personality: Despite her rather imposing demeanor, coupled with an unnerving silence, Shalquoir is not a sinister person. Quite the contrary, actually. If one were to get to know her, they would realise that she is more of a kind, but distant, sentinel to most. She places the well being of others before her own, risking her life time and time again for the sake of strangers. If she does appear distant and cold, it's because she is a realist in the most melancholic sense. She knows that her specific line of work is dangerous, and having experienced much loss and grief at the hands of her prey has lead her to be very reluctant in getting too close with others.

Despite having good intentions, she prefers to be as 'efficient' as possible in all of her social interaction. She won't waste time beating around the bush or flattering others for their sake. She is known to be brutally honest, especially when pointing out flaws in another's character or ability. Shalquoir does not tolerate liars, nor does she feel sympathy for those brought down by their own naivety. She was forced to see the world for how brutal it was at a young age and bears no words of compassion for the young, innocent people who are making this realisation themselves. This is not to say she completely lacks empathy; it's just that comforting others is not her strong point.

Appearance

Shalquoir stands at around 5'10" and is about 62kg, making her appear quite slim and lanky. Although not many are fortunate enough to see Shalquoir when not adorned in her hunters garb, there is indeed a lady behind the porcelain mask. Not a blushing beauty by any means, Shalquoir is best described as a very simple looking woman. She wastes no time 'dolling' herself up with makeup or trinkets. Her light brown hair is always tied up into a tight bun, kept firmly out of her face to avoid distraction. Her skin is paler than most, due to always being covered head to toe. Her body is covered with many scars and disfigurements, the most notable of which being her right eye and her missing left arm. Both impairments a result of a run in with a particularly powerful adversary, which she made sure to repay the debt. In place of her right eye is a rather fearsome red wyvern eye. Her left arm is replaced with a metal contraption that now acts as her forearm. On the end is a long, blood stained metal hook.

Emblem Location: Branded onto her left shoulder. For convenience, she also has it branded onto her crow mask.
Magic level: Medium
Type: Caster
Specialization: Beast Hunter Magic
Style: Support/Self-augmenting, Melee
Physical mutation: None

Spells

• Call of the Hunter Shalquoir's ability to hunt beasts is granted to her through 'Call of the Hunter', which increases her basic senses to be keen enough to track and detect beasts and other beings. Consumes Magic Power.
• Hunter's Agility Shalquoir empowers her body with Magic, increasing her speed, nimbleness and stamina at the cost of draining magic power over time to keep active. Also makes Shalquoir jump much higher than normally possible, at the cost of extra magic power on top of the consistent drain.
• Culling Strike Shalquoir augments her weapon with a large amount of Magic Power and releases it with her next attack. While her attacks are quite fast, Culling Strike causes her weapon to become much heavier while empowered. Particularly useful to dealing massive damage to large beasts, or even shattering through a strong defense easily.
• Blade of Scales Shalquoir augments her weapon with a large amount of Magic Power, making it heavier yet sturdier. This allows her to use her weapon to block one attack perfectly; even against large weapons or beasts. Only works against physical attacks, not magic.
• Thrill of the Hunt Shalquoir momentarily loses herself to the scent of her own blood, releasing an initial blast of Magic Power around her that pushes away adversaries. Any injuries she currently has flare with sudden pain, debilitating her for a brief moment before she starts to gain high regenerative properties. Additionally, she gains strength based on how injured she was when the spell was cast. All of this uses a tremendous amount of magic power in exchange for granting Shalquoir a small taste of the power held by the beasts she hunts.

Equipment:

• Beast Culling Reiterpallasch A rapier forged from steel and silver, perfect for hunting. Allows for quick, multiple strikes and very effective for parrying attacks from other weapons; provided they aren't too heavy. A particularly interesting part of this weapon is the guarded hilt, which appears to have had a Magic Pistol forged into it. The trigger lies at the hilt of the blade, allowing Shalquoir to fire magical bullets from the hilt of the rapier between her strikes. The magic pistol is simple in design and can be used by any mage, however the gun shots do not deal any form of physical damage, instead briefly stunning and interrupting opponents to allow for more attacks with the blade.
• Stake Driving Hook Shalquoir lost her left forearm many years ago and had it replaced with a heavy, steel device with a hook on the end of it. There are two switches along the side of the device. One switch will cause the hook to spring out in the direction Shalquoir aims her mechanical arm to act as a grappling hook. Can be then retracted to pull her target towards her, or her towards her target. The second switch, when activated, causes a long, silver stake to instant force itself out from the arm. Can be used to impale victims. The arm is somewhat heavy, but with years of practice and the help of her magic, Shalquoir is able to bear it's burden and still hunt effectively.

Title: Shalquoir the Crow, The Beast Hunter Shalquoir
History: While there is much that she does not share about her past with others, what is known about Shalquoir's history is not pleasant. Hailing from a foreign land of magic, Shalquoir belonged to a town that fell victim to a plague of beasts that took the lives of her family and friends. Since then, she has joined a band of hunters known as the Crows. They faced many perilous battles together, and despite their powerful Beast Hunting Magic, they fell victim to the beast one by one. Shalquoir is the last of the Crows. She traveled to Fiore with the intention of ridding the world of beasts and other creatures that would cause harm to innocents.

Seekers of the First Flame

A cold morning breeze swept across the makeshift bed of leaves and cold grass, dampened by the morning dew, which Delwyn rested upon. He was not used to sleeping in such conditions. Not that he slept anymore as an undead. Indeed, his nights were long and dull. All Delwyn could do was stare up at the night sky and watch the pale red of dawn stretch over the horizon. Some of the others were already up and about, preparing to set off towards the Undead Burg. Memories of that accursed, hollow infested place sent a shiver down Delwyn's spine. Before he had mustered the courage to explore and find the Firelink Shrine, he had spent many a night huddle in any place he thought was free from hollows in the Burg. He scarcely wanted to return there, especially not with that unknown creature roaring in the distance. Yet he felt as though he had already overstayed his welcome at the Shrine. He wanted to go, but he was frightened. In his dismay, he turned to prayer. Resting by the worn statue of a deity who he was unfamiliar with, Delwyn knelt and began to silently pray. He didn't pray for himself, but rather for the safety of his wife and daughter back in Vinheim.

"Ah, young disciple of the Lords, here to ask for Lord Gwyn's blessing before heading out with the others?" The revered mother Jeanne of White spoke as Delwyn finished up his prayers. The young sorcerer stood up, immediately bowing in reverence to the religious figurehead.
"Mother Jeanne, please forgive my intrusion." At his words, the old lady smiled and placed her warm, gentle hands upon his head.
"The Gods are good to us for letting us wake another day. Pray tell, why are you wasting this blessing of a day here? You wouldn't want our Lord to think you ungrateful for his charity." She removed her hands, beckoning for Delwyn to stand. When he did, she passed him a small sack.
"Medicinal Herbs. They are poor substitute for the healing miracles bestowed upon me by Lord Gwyn, but they will do you good on your perilous journey. Now go, before the others leave you behind." The woman's words, though somewhat forceful, were kind and gave Delwyn a little bit more hope in what was to come. If the Gods themselves were truly watching over them, then perhaps their quest wasn't as impossible as Delwyn had thought. Perhaps he would get to see his family once more.

Quickly trotting along towards the group, Delwyn awkwardly stumbled his speech as he approached them before they departed.
"Uh, sorry to intrude. I'm afraid I'd feel rather unwelcome if I stayed at the shrine for too long. If it's of no trouble, I would be honored if you would allow me to accompany you to find the bell." He held up his sack of medicine to his chest, hoping it would make him seem a more desirable companion.

I also wanted to point out that a lot of the bosses for the roleplay are different from the game as a result of the original games lore being distorted for this attempt at creating a somewhat original story from the game.

For bosses such as those, it might be hard for you guys to act on them; because you probably have no idea how they're supposed to look (I wish I could confirm that I'm amazing at descriptions but if you've seen my writing then I won't kid myself) or how they'd act.

I mean there are standouts. The Hellkite Drake remains as a sort of boss fight in this roleplay ofcoarse. And even Knight King Rendall will probably replace the Iron Golem; but I'd assume Nobodyman would be more suited to how that character would act and fight.

Some might consider changing the iconic boss fights we all know and love like this somewhat pointless. But thinking on it, if this roleplay is literally just a written rehash of the game, then what was the point of even starting it? Isn't the point of fandom roleplays to bend the lore and canon of the original universe to create something new and interesting? At least that's what I've decided to do, so apologies if that isn't what you were expecting.

It's hardly relevant to the discussion, but I just wanted people to know to not expect the exact same bosses from the game. In fact it's probably a good idea to keep your thought process pretty distant from how things are done from the original. I want the direction of this roleplay to be decided by our characters, but that being said I suppose I do have to step in and have a say with certain events.

On that note, as a little heads up, the first boss we'll encounter before the Drake will not be the Taurus Demon. In it's place will be a new fight with a being called 'Theophilus, The Enshrined'. If we decide to have one person act as the boss then I'll probably PM that person with more intricate details on how the boss fits into the lore and discuss with them how the boss would fight. At least that way it keeps it a surprise for everyone else.

However if we decide to go with Stella's option then I'll just write a little description of Theophilus for everyone to get an idea on what he is and then decide for themselves what types of attacks he'd use. I'm cool with either.

Seekers of the First Flame

Well I think Stella's idea is quite good, but I'll leave it up to all of you to decide. I still need to find time to post.

Seekers of the First Flame

I'm probably going to write a post tomorrow where Delwyn joins the group. Maybe even write in the first hollow encounter.

There'll also be a few more NPC's to communicate with in the burg.

Seekers of the First Flame

Let us be optimistic! We shall all prevail! Right?

@Unraveller

We'll just catapult ourselves up to the bell tower until one of us survives and can ring the bell.

Seekers of the First Flame

I'm just about to head off to my first exam; just as things are kicking off in the rp. Wish me luck :D

Seekers of the First Flame

Hellkite sounds like its happening. I might be a bit inactive over the next 2 weeks for exams but I think we're at a point where I don't need to overview things for a while. If you really need to get in contact with me, you can PM me and I'll make an effort to check in every day or so to respond to PM's.
