Rebirth: At World's End

We are getting quite a bit of interest here... there may need to be a player limit. I know some people don't make it past the Interest Check, but still, there shouldn't be more characters than can be handled.

Rebirth: At World's End

@Apocalypse Also, Y could have made some great advancement, and Z heard about that maybe a few decades after their death, and tried to emulate them. So when Z meets Y, we just get a fangirl/fanboy moment.
Oh, what if there were like heroes who were enemies of one another?!

I'm getting too deep into this, aren't I?

Rebirth: At World's End

@Apocalypse I mean, could always be somewhat like Avatar: The Last Airbender, in that no Avatar was alive at the same time as another. We have, after all, been resurrected from another time. Why not our own times? There could be established 'eras' where we can fit into different roles - warlords and generals, philosophers and peacemakers, leaders and revolutionaries. A hero is defined by their feats, from drawing their weapon to stowing it away.

Rebirth: At World's End

Scott Carter is not what you would have called a normal boy. He was different from his peers, even at a young age, but nobody could ever figure out why. The other children shunned him, and his teachers saw him go off on his own more often than not. It persisted for all his life, from primary school and into secondary. He sat at the back of the classroom. Kept his head down in the corridors. Rarely would he speak more than a few words. And always, he was alone.
He had his reasons. For one, he could find people overwhelming. For two, though buried, he had anxieties in abundance. And for a third... solitude was calming, for him. Often, he had a book in his bag or a notepad and pen, that he would read from, sketch in, write on. He saw worlds full of myth or magic, or wondrous technology that defied science itself. He lost himself in these worlds, always straining towards them, but separated by that ink and paper barrier. Those worlds were out of his reach. If only he had had time to see his own.
It came from a childish prank by his classmates. Even more so childish because they, and he, were in Year Eleven at the time. He had been walking home, as usual, paying no attention to the ones following him, when the world went dark. He woke at a construction site – abandoned, from the looks of it. He had three tormentors. They had waited until nightfall, and then tied him to a chair on one of the higher levels. And there they stood, laughing, jeering.
He remembers one of them tipping the chair back over the edge. His heart pounded as he looked at the drop several metres below, but he fought back the desire to scream. He wouldn’t give these boys the satisfaction. Eventually, they stepped back, discussing what else they could do. Scott remembers several minutes of quietly struggling against the school ties and belts the three had used to bind him. He remembers launching himself at one of the three, attempting to knock him down, but getting pushed back. He remembers stumbling backwards into empty space, and a hand, reaching to grab him, save him. He remembers falling.

Abilities:

• Lesser Flight I - 1.7
• Minor Heal I - 1.7
• Muffle I - 1.0
• Scribe I - 1.3
• Shield I - 1.4

Ability Descriptions

• Lesser Flight I -
• Minor Heal I - The most basic of healing spells. In most cases, only surface-level wounds are affected. Cannot cure diseases. May even accelerate certain conditions not healed by the body's natural recovery. Cast upon a single target within eyesight.
• Muffle I - This skill grants you the ability to be just a little bit better at being stealthy, with a focus on reducing the sound of your movements.
• Scribe I - This skill's current rank allows the user to take any spell that they know, and inscribe it upon an object. That item can be used to release the spell at any time and by anyone. The same MP cost of the spell, plus the MP cost of this skill, is used up when enchanting the item.
• Shield I - The most basic of defensive support spells. An aura effect reduces incoming damage, but no physical barrier or counteractive forces are generated. Only natural resistances to damage are reinforced. Can be cast on objects.

Unusuable Abilities

Unspent Skill Points: 3

• Alert - 0.4. Though this skill is limited by the strength of your senses, and does not sharpen your senses on its own, it allows you to become more aware of your surroundings. Without conscious effort, you will pick up on signs in your environment more easily, especially if they present some form of danger to you. Essentially this is an anti-ambush skill.
• Dextrous - 0.4. Your practice with fine manipulation and using your [forepaws, mouth, etc] has earned an unusual skill for your species! Your [hands, mouth, etc] can now be used to manipulate small objects and tools, though you still aren’t strong enough yet to “wield” weapons or pick up very large things.
• Faster - 0.2. Your base speed and movement stats are increased.
• Harder - 0.2. Your base defensive and constitutional stats are increased.
• Keen Ear - 0.1. Expend stamina to increase the range and clarity of physical senses. At this rank it is only barely superhuman but not above that of say, an animal. If all Keen Senses are acquired, they raise the rank of Beast Senses.
• Material Analysis - 0.4. You have developed an eye for determining the qualities of inorganic or non-living objects. At this rank, you will only be able to gain surface information about an object. When used in conjunction with a crafting skill, it may help discover more compatible items.
• Mental Resistance - 0.2. Take less damage from Psychic-type spells or skills, and have a better chance of resisting mind-altering effects such as Confusion or Hypnosis. This counts as an Elemental resistance for the purposes of Magic Resistance.
• Monster Analysis - 0.1. Gain basic biological information about a Monster or its parts by carefully observing it.
• Suppress Presence - 0.1. Using your magical power, you subtly mask your presence from the senses of others around you. By comparison, it's a similar ability to those shy people who seem to disappear at the corner of the crowd's vision as they hover in the corner.
• Stronger - 0.2. Increase your base physical strength stats.
• Use Light Equipment - 0.1. Unranked Skill. Allows the use of smaller weapons, tools, and other items with a degree of proficiency. Requires opposable thumbs or some other method of actually holding the object. Size limitations may be relative.

Transformations:

Inventory:
A pair of green leggings fashioned from the leaves his ‘parents’ abandoned him in. Not much, and not going to last long, but eh. It's modesty.

@Duthguy It either will or won't - for all we know, monster evolution is triggered by level-ups. We certainly wouldn't be back where we first started.

@Zeroth Thanks for having me! I assume this makes me clear for an IC post? ^{_{I'm not sure if it actually came across, but Scott is from England and was 16 or so at the time of.}}

Originally, I was going to go for a goblin, but at some point I just went, "You know what? Pixie."

I hope this is okay. I actually finished this a couple of hours ago, but just now I'm getting around to posting it. Now, it's time for this Brit to go to sleep.

@ShwiggityShwah You seem to have missed that 'Past lives' come from the modern day Earth. This woman seems to be from several centuries prior, if Earth at all.

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

Um, hi. This RP caught my attention, and honestly, I actually like it. I do have some anxieties about it - primarily because it's 'late in the game', like someone else said, and I don't generally have the confidence to apply to roleplays after they've begun. That said, I'm willing to go for it with this one. Does anyone have much idea what 'classes' are in short supply? I have my preferences, but I believe the Wisp, Rat and Lizard are in abundance, right?

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

Does it explain Omestris, though?

Also... what if they released a sort of, pseudo-explosion, in that it released pure magical energy? So basically, a bomb. Also doubles as a ‘suicide device’ to prevent capture or some such, whilst taking out the captors.
