Log Horizon: Western Europe

Aedy

"Generating more Hate than Donald Trump at a Feminist Convention."

In-game Name:
Aednat

Name:
"Nope. Most people just go like - 'oh after the actress?' There are more people in the world than actresses, numbskulls."

Age:
"What's the date again? Um... like 22 or something?"

Gender:
"I'm not being coerced into society's binary view on gen- Hah! Imagine if I was one of those guys; that shit is way too progressive for me! Anyways, girl - I guess?"

Personality:
"Hah! Je m'appelle Aed-y and I'm the biggest shithead in Eureddo! Why else would you run a combat control mage other than pissing off hardcore PvPers, after all?

Being perfectly honest here - games are for escaping reality so why the hell would you play an upstanding member of society when you could be a maniacal pirate overlord? Games have always been about having fun to me and there's nothing more fun than annoying other people. Of course, I never let it go too far - wouldn't want anyone to get hurt now, would we?

I'd like to think I'm smart. Maybe in real life I'm quite brainy, but in here, I'm an unpredictable mess. I guess that's why I stand out here - in a world where people are so focused on numbers and stats, they never really see it coming. People always have a plan in mind; maybe they're gonna go out and gather some resources or run a dungeon or somethin' but it's always there, it's always planned. Me? I couldn't give a flying shit quenched from the holy buttcheeks of God himself. That's what makes me dangerous, I guess? Or it could be that I put little to no value in anything I have.

I have no doubt that if I wasn't playing Elder Tale, I'd be an alcoholic or a drug-addict or something. It's an escape and it's a bloody good one at that. When the going gets tough, I think I'm pretty stubborn yet loyal. There's a fine line you tread when you play a game that has become someone's entire life and I've never went out of my way to permanently harm someone."

History:
"Fuck. Well, my life is practically a walking, talking cliche that comes with batteries included. Let's see, where does one start? I was born on the merry isle of Ireland, or more appropriately, the shitty Northern part of it that everyone forgets due to its general shittyness. I never really knew my dad, he was always away on business or whatever. He got me cool shit from America at Christmas and birthdays though - I guess that was alright? My mum? Yeah, she was the one I actually liked. We clashed a lot; probably because I seemed to have more in common with her than with my dad - we were both stubborn as high-hell. When we weren't fighting, we got on great.

Anyways, roll on a few years and mum kicks the bucket. Dad grieved for a few months then this hot, little russian model practically glued herself to him and low and behold, he followed his dick instead of his head. Dad never really knew me so I guess the Russian bitch held more influence than I did because the house was sold, they bought some luxury yacht and little old me was sent to boarding school in England.

It was one of those places where brains didn't matter an awful lot - as long as your daddy was rich or was a nobleman, you got on amicably. For me? It was fucking dreadful. Having to spend your entire daily life with a bunch of English cunts who make you wish that Communism actually spread across Europe is less than pleasant. Thankfully, as it goes, not all of the populous of that boarding school were twats that gravitated between this fad and that. There were nerds and me, with my almost incomprehensible accent and general outlandishness, fitted in amongst them with ease.

It was with those guys that I discovered Elder Tale. We were all shit-tier at the start but we started early so we got the ropes pretty quickly. The game was immense in scope and had a type of world that you could just lose yourself in for days at a time. We were obsessed and we climbed in no time at all. Despite running multiple subclasses, we decided to all switch to the sailor subclass for the upcoming Silver Odyssey expansion. Once we maxed it, we bought a ship and formed the Booty Hunters guild. After that? Well, we started generating some waves - destroying merchant ships, raiding seaside towns for the spoils of war! We were really quite infamous - merchants even began to hire combat guilds to protect their ships but combat guilds weren't used to fighting on the high seas.

They were fun times but eventually, everyone just kinda moved on. About half of the original guild stayed on and although we occasionally did stuff together, the guild was all but inactive. When the Catastrophe hit, there was only me and another member on and what's a captain without her crew, right?

Guild
<Booty Hunters>

"Not much left of em now, eh? I guess our infamy will still live on as those guys who took a small mechanic in the game and made it into a very big headache for the economy! Yar!"

Build:
Mobile Combat Control Mage
Typically, Sorcerers are placed as far from the frontlines as physically possible due to their glass-cannon nature. However, that's not the role that was set in stone for them. Aedy priorities her build around a skill called Close Burst which is a toggle skill that allows the user to sacrifice the long range of the sorcerer in return for a massive increase of Magic Attack. However, she still has horrible defences and she can't stay for long so her abilities are all about AoE. Between the cooldowns of these spells, Aedy uses mobility spells to jump in and out of the frey alongside abilities that keep enemies away. It's completely chaotic but there's a rush to it that being a clear-cut sorcerer just can't provide. If she gets in a really bad situation, she uses an assassin stealth skill which she randomly got. However, due to its massive cooldown, its a poor fall-back.

Spells/Skills:

<Close Burst>
Toggle, sacrifices range to greatly increase your Magic Attack.

<Orb of Lava>
A ranged Fire-element magic that hurls a fist-sized orb of lava onto enemies. This lava ball bounces across enemy targets, dealing damage on impact. Since this skill if Fire-based, this is very effective against enemies weak against fire. One well-known trait of this skill is that it does not affect allies during combat, making it a popular skill among players.

<Freezing Liner>
An area-of-effect attack spell that unleashes a torrent of chilling frost in a straight line, washing away opponents with Ice-element magic. Aside for its attack power, this skill is also known for its effect of "washing away enemies 'downstream'". This ability to push away mobs that try to approach the user gives it various uses aside from acting as a defensive move in combat.

<Energy Fraction>
Automatically changes your Magic Attack's element to the target's weakness.

<Lightning Chamber>
A single-target, high damage lightning spell. Summons a dazzling array of bluish purple lightning shaped like a pentagram, capturing and dealing damage to enemies inside. This skill is considered to be a top class spell among ones in the Sorcerer's arsenal, and its effect is befitting of its title. On the other hand, this skill has a long reuse time and generates large amounts of Hate, so it is often used when enemy threats have been pinpointed.

<Blink>
Short range teleport, but inaccurate.

<Rook Slider>
Long range teleport. Only works in a straight line and there must be no objects between you and your destination.

<Singularity>
Special Skill. Summons a black hole that ignores Defense. Often used as a boss-killer.

<Serpent Bolt>
A Lightning-property magic that shoots forth a bolt of bluish-purple lightning. Although it is categorized as a single-target skill, it's ability to break apart and hit enemies near the initial target makes it a pseudo-area-target skill. Serpent Bolt has a rather long reuse control time, but has a short casting time, making it a "quick cast" spell that many intermediate players prefer.

<Creep Shade>
Disregards enemies and terrain and moves while hidden. This is a reinforced stealth ability that is considered top class, it has many uses like surprise attack, reconnaissance, withdrawal and more. However it has a long cooldown, so it's not something that can be used often in one fight. When activated, the user sinks and disappears into their own shadow, and during movement you only see the effect of the shadow sliding

<Heavy Anchor Skill>
Binds you and the enemy together in close range. Neither of you will be able to move while the skill is active.

<Whirldwind>
Swipes away enemies surrounding the user with one's weapon. Its cost and damage is balanced, and is considered as the signature area-of-effect skill of Swashbucklers and a skill often used by most Swashbucklers. (Useless as she uses a Grimoire)

<Soul Possession>
Requirement: Servant Summon. A spell that allows the summoner to possess a Servant Summon and directly control its body. Stats and skills become those of the Servant's. The Summoner's original body is controlled with simple commands, as if it were a regular Summon Servant. (Useless.)

Equipment:

<Boots of this Six>
"Boots fashioned by the finest craftmens of the Alvs and sealed with the overwhelming magic of the Six Scrapped Princesses. These were gifted to the three couriers who carried their plans of war."
Phantasmal Class
These boots increase the wearer's movement speed by 15% but also possess the unique ability to remove all sounds of movement completely. Highly sought after by assassins, Aedy got them by random chance when she decided to hop on with a few people she met online and do a few raids. Increases AGI and EVA.

<Traditional Regalia>
"Traditional clothing of the ancient sorcerers, typically wore into battle."
Production Class
Slightly underpowered equipment for her level but they get the job done. These increase INT.

Weapons:

<Grimoire of the Buried Ones>
"Excavated from the deepest tombs in Eureddo, it's said that the tome will consume the souls of those who are not powerful enough to use it."
Ancient Class
Aedy got this as a drop to a dungeon that her guild repeated a bunch of times after hearing that there was a cool skeleton-pirate drop from it. It increases INT and AGI but also serves as a pretty handy weapon for bashing annoying players without actually doing damage to them.

Inventory:

<Dead Pirate King's Garb> 1
"In ancient times, sailors reported seeing ghost ships fading in and out of the fog, destroying whatever they come across. It was said that the Dead Pirate King was the most terrifying being in existence and petrified all who laid eyes on him."
Multiple use
This allows the user to transform their appearance into that of the Dead Pirate King. This doesn't increase any stats whatsoever but inflicts the 2spooky4me debuff on anyone that looks at you while wearing it.

Stats
Strength (STR): F (0)
Agility (AGI): S (6)
Intelligence (INT): S (6)
Wisdom (WIS): F (0)
Defense (DEF): E (1)
Evasion (EVA): A (5)

@NarcissisticPotato

Ain't gonna lie, I half expect this character to be like that Irish guy from the abridged version of Hellsing Ultimate. I would totally approve of that

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

Well the UPA would be like Japan in 1940s... cool?

I thank you for putting out a reminder for me but the comparison list really was not necessary. Also, notifications don't work when you edit them into a post.

Biomedical Chief Dr. Karumi Tosuka

Aboard the HMG Dawnlight Spirit, Medical Department

Karumi thought she had seen it all. Every disease, every illness, every plague, every injury, but the... thing in front of her was disproving years of experience and training. The soldiers outside said that they saw this creature walking towards their poistion, wailing and moaning before roaring a noise to make Death cower in fear. A few good shots put him down and some of the Majin had brought back the body.

Now, with the gurgling body, gently twitching on the medical bed, in her veiw, she was at a lost of words. She heard of fungal diseases and alien microbes and organisms being able to alter the appearance of their hosts, but nothing, nothing at all could explain the huge growths on the body. Judging by the carcass (or what was left of it), it appeared to be a human male, his jumper noting him as a station engineer of sorts. Carefully plucking away at a modly tentadrill, Karumi hastily grabbed the ID badge. She thought that the age of IDs was over but apparently not; the card marked him as a certain "Thomas Spoonmaker". By the Emperor humans have weird names.

"Chief, what is you're take on this?" One of Karumi's subordinate doctors asked.
"I don't know what to think of this right now," Karumi threw her hands up, "This is biological and organic but that's as far as I can tell. This... thing is breaking all rules of biology and every other life science."
"Shall we start the autopsy then?"

Karumi slumped in her chair and waved her hand, signaling permission granted. Within seconds the body was moved under a nearby light and aproned doctors walked in, followed by carts of surgical equipment and storage boxes. The snapping of latex gloves signaled start of the careful cuts being made on the body. The medical Chief leaned back and watched with great interest as splurred of yellowish pus-like liquid spilled out. A smattering of mutters between the surgeons ensued as they began to make more but, letting the more of the pus and blood to spill out.

"Remind me to get the clean up team down her- wait. What the hell is it doing?" Karumi slowly rose from her chair, taking note of a tentadrill rising out of the corpse like everyone else. It was fat, the "skin" peeled in some places revealing a revolting cable of muscle and wart-like growths, "What the hell is that thing?"

"I-I don't know..." one of the surgeons replied over his headset, "Its some form of tentadrill-ish growth-"

CRASH
CLANG

"FUCK MOVE IT!"
"HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT."

Karumi's jaw dropped, the body was still alive, and angry. It had just skewered one of the surgeons and was slowly raising him into the air, his blood and entrails raining down on to the tile below. Another one had been tossed aside like a toy into a wall as the tentacles violently flailed around. Carts where turns over, shelves brought down, people cowering on their knees behind whatever cover they could find as their comrade was being raised higher into the air and the lights rained down glass and sparks.

The doors hissed open as soldiers rushed in, the burst of gunfire erupted as they peppered the thing with rounds until it weighted half its mass in bullets. Blood and strange liquid now covering the walls in great big splats, another medical team dashed in to treat the wounded, the poor bastard who got impaled would have to be put into a cryopod and sent back for burial, there was no saving him.

"S-so..." Karumi clutched the edge of her table, her hands and body trembling with fear at the sight of excessive gore and reanimation for what seemed like a second time if the man had already been reanimated once "Wh-wh-what in the name of t-the Emperor was th-that?"

Lt. Yoruha Nanashoku

Ryukyuan 23rd Imperial Guard Platoon "Wings of Honor"

Aboard the HMG Dawnlight Spirit, Hanger Bay 3

Yoruha paced around the table, "So, it seems we're all going to the AI- Wait, what the hell was that?"

Guns had blasted into life outside. Short bursts, most likely a single target or a weapon malfunction.

"Yoruha to Firebase Arsenal, come in Firebase Arsenal." Yoruha tapped into his comms to try and raise the radio operator station side, "Yoruha to Firebase Arsenal, what the hell was that?"

"Firebase Arsenal to Yoruha, Mashima here. Something stumbled its way out of the corridor and the GalSen guys open fired."
"What do you mean something stumbled out of the darkness? Did you identify them?"
"Umm... we couldn't. It wasn't... normal?"
"What do you mean 'not normal'..."

Yoruha looked out of the window and saw exactly what Mashima was talking about. Below them was a crowd of people around a metal cart, on it was a grotesque creature, all manner of growths and things growing out of it.

"Umm... Lt... there's something out there."
"What do you mean Mashima?"
"Holy shit, they're getting close."
"Mashima? Mashima!" Yoruha turned to the ship AI and barked, "Orihime! What the hell is out there?!"

A silence befell the room, only the whirring of machine and sounds of a working ship. No one spoke as Orihime began to speak, "I... don't know."

"Shit..." Yoruha cursed after another pause, "Alright people, you're all dismissed. Get out there and find out what's going on. I think the welcoming party has come out to greet us. Once the this situation is resolved we will regroup at the firebase. Got it? Good."

Yoruha picked up his gun and dismissed himself, calling over four soldiers as he left for the station. He didn't know what was going on, but he was sure that there was no protocol for what was about to happen.

Dashing out on to the deck, Yoruha got a proper look at the situation. Three hallways, always a classic. Two of them were brightly lit and welcoming, and one darkened like the vacuum of space behind them, ominous sounds drifting out of it.

"Mashima!" The LT yelled at the radio operator, "Where the hell is this horde you imply of?"
"Umm... they w-were therr a se-second ago..."
"Where?!"

The Ryukyuan operator raise a finger and point to the dark hall way, "We he-heard noises. Lottsa th-them. An-an-and eyes, they we-were all... staring an swaying li-like they where watching us..."

Yoruha wasn't impressed, the words unnerved him a little, but only a little. However something clearly spooked Mashima and some of the others enough to get them this scared.

"Alright everybody," Yoruha turned to face everyone on base, "I want eyes on that dark corridor at all times, you see something, you shoot it. I also want to see if we can't flank whatever the hell is in that damned place via the other halls, any volunteers?"

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

Is there still time for me to jump in and join this?

@Romero

You could but I recommend getting used to RPGuild a bit more. NRPs don't tend to be all to friendly to new guys from what I've seen in the past, nothing personal to you of course.

A Certain Unique Academy

That was some great writing thr last 15 hours holy moly. Good job all of you really admire it. I kinda want to bring in my character but I dont know if I can get a post that isnt as boring as my others

@liferusher

Do it the Anderson way, set something on fire

How do you get a sempai to notice you?

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

Yeah it wasn't really meant to be a criticism - more trying to be helpful than anything. ^_^ you'd be surprised how vicious some anime and manga fans get when you mispronounce or misspell something...

@Halo

Trust me, I know. I'm one of them XD

How do you get a sempai to notice you?

@HaloWell, clearly everyone on this thread got the jist of what I meant so there is no harm done mate
