@Zarkun

In other words, I didn't miss much anything?

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Can I get a quick refresher on what has happed, IC? I was too busy for awhile to read any of it. Last I remember, the final game of the GMG was canceled, and they were going to to after games ball or something.

@POOHEAD189

Whew, that took way longer then I wanted but it is finally finished.

I accept any and all forms of feedback, positive or negative. If something needs changed, I can am willing to talk it out. So feel free to give me your honest opinion. 👍

Username: Crimson Raven

The Sorcerer in Glasses

"The name was my father's choice, however it is far too uptight for my liking."
Character Name: Marcus Alexander Solidor

"This what I am, no big secret here."
Race/Species: Half Elf

"Undoubtedly."
Gender: Male

"If you live for long enough, your age becomes irrelevant."
Age: Exact age unknown, estimated to be more than a century

"I am Archmage Solidor. Doubt me if you dare it!"
Career/Class: (Self-proclaimed)Archmage/Illusionist

Weapons:

• Folly: A large sabre that hangs in a sheath at his side, the blade is a deep black, and the hilt is inlaid with gold. The pommel looks like a cresent moon grasping a round red jewel between it's points. It is a high quality, well-forged blade, and it channels magic very well.
• Magic: Marcus is an powerful and experienced Mage. He knows a wide variety of spells, from calling fire to making objects stick together. But his true talent lies in Illusionary magic. He is able to cast powerful illusions that can fool nearly every sense; sight, sound, taste, smell, and even touch. However, the illusions have no inherent substance so they cannot directly cause harm.
• A pair of boot knives
• A plain silver ring, worn on his right hand, enchanted to hold back a little kinetic energy every time it moves. Marcus can mentally trigger it, firing all the kinetic energy it has stored in a single blast. At full charge it could knock a full-grown cow over.

Physical Description:
Tall lean and pale-skinned with keen intelligent eyes, it is immediately obvious that he is possed of a scholarly disposition. His face is clean shaven and youngish, he looks to be in his mid-twenties, but something in his eyes reveal his true age to those who look.
His eye, with their gold-colored irises, his light gray hair and ears that taper to a slight points are indicators of his heritage as a half-elf.

For his day to day clothing, he dresses rather flamboyantly and richly, with quality cloth, gold embroidery and even small gemstones. His most iconic piece of clothing is a large mantle, trimmed in gold, solid black on the outside and rich purple on the inside. He wears it over a dark orange tunic that he wears open at the front to reveal a beige shirt with black designs. He also wears grey trousers tucked into a pair of black laced up riding boots. On his hands are a pair of long, shiny black gloves that reach up to his elbow. All of his clothing is fastidiously kept tidy and clean. Completing his ensemble are a pair of scholarly glasses on his face that can be magicaly affixed so as to not be knocked off.

Armor: The mantle that he wears is inscribed with layers of magic wards, making the unassuming cloth as strong as iron. It provides great protection against cutting, piercing, extreme heat and cold, and magic. It provides only moderate protection against kinetic energy so blunt force is the best way to injure him. The physical protection only extends as far as the cloth, but the magical protection extends from head to toe.

Equipment/Other:

• Money/Supplies for traveling (food, tent, water, ect)
• A collection of tomes on various subjects, from magic to cooking
• Lockpocks, just incase the knowledge he seeks is in the hands of people who are not the sharing type.
• Glasses case, with a spare pair of glasses inside.
• Notepad and a travel set of quills and ink.
• Varied articles that may or may not be magical (he is stil trying to find out) including a perfectly spherical smooth wood ball, a small, plain-seeming rock that casts an eerily twisted shadow, and some kind of thing that he was given a long time ago and has been trying to get rid of since. No matter what he does with it, he always finds it again. What it is is unclear, when you look at it you can't quite make it out, and when you look away you forget what it looks like.
• A "puzzle box" given to him by a dwarf he once did a favor for. It supposedly has something interesting inside, if anyone can open it. It is a perfect cube made out of wood with eye-twistingly intricatly carved pieces.

Mental Description/Personality:

Marcus is a mysterious man with a cunning mind and a sly, scarcastic, dry wit. He acts friendly, but he hides a cold, calculating, manipulative, personality behind that amiable mask. He is also an incurable flirt, quick with a compliment and flattery for the fairer sex. Whether that is an act or a characteristic of him is up for debate. He can be self-centered and egotistical, even worse, he can often back up his boasts. Not much of a team player, he prefers to give orders rather then receive them.

Goals: To master magic and gain immortality. He is a wizard to the core, always pursuing knowlage, especially of magic, no matter how forbidden it might be. He wants to learn of its origin, and to achieve mastery over it. To do this, he realize that it will take a long time and when he dies, his knowledge will die with him, so he seeks eternal life.

Background/History:

Get comfortable, this is quite a tale.

Marcus's father was part of a traveling troupe. He was, ironically, a stage magician, who incorporated a touch of real magic to his tricks. The troupe was small, but well known, especially for going to out-of-the way places to perform. Thus one of their excursions brought them to the Kingdom of Leth'Arian and the Siver Elves that lived there. With some difficulty, the troupe leader convinced the elves to allow them passage to the island. There, they had a pleasant time, entertaining and laughing, and there, through some extremely unlikely circumstances, Marcus's father met a beautiful, mysterious elven woman. They enjoyed each other's company, so they kept meeting each other and spend longer and longer amounts of time together. When the trope bid goodbye to the city, they had one extra member. Unbeknownst to them, soon after they left, there was a massive outcry in the city. One of the younger elven princesses had disappeared.

The troupe made it to the mainland without incident, but they were stopped by elvin soldiers a few days out for questioning. They searched the troupe, and their belongings but couldn't find her, because she had disguised herself with magic, and none of the other members were willing to give her away, because Marcus's father was well liked and everyone knew that he and the elven woman were in love, even if the two had not realized it themselves. When the soldiers has checked, double checked, rechecked, and not found her, the troupe was allowed to pass.

Marcus's father and elvin woman, predictably, fell in love. They were never formally married, but they came together anyway. For a year, they were happy and she was soon pregnant. However, the childbirth was...complicated. She died giving birth to Marcus. After that, his father was never the same. He grew depressed, strove to drown his grief in drink, neglecting that fact that his son was still alive. He never was a proper father to Marcus. Eventually his performances suffered so badly that the troupe leader kicked them from the troupe, since he no longer made money, he was no longer worth anyting to him. With little money, and fewer options, they settled in a small city in Praelior. They tried to make a living the best they culd, but Marcus's father didn't have other skills then stage magic, and Marcus was too young for much work. Marcus's father slowly grew worse and worse, and one day, he just disappeared. Gone without a trace, leaving a young Marcus as an orphan on the streets of a dump of a random city.

Fortunately, Marcus is the resourceful type, he had received rudimentary magic training from his father, and at this time, his talent began to blossom and grow. He scraped together a harsh living, doing odd jobs, and more then once resorting to thievery. His magic aided him in this, but it also drew the attention of a conclave of wizards who had their base in that city. They found him, took him in, and upon realizing his potential, gave him to their order to train him. It was there his hunger for knowledge awakened. He was a keen student, absorbing and comprehending their teaching at an alarmingly fast rate. Some of them feared his growth, while others encouraged it. His meteoric rise was halted suddenly by a certain incident. The details are unknown, but the result was Marcus's immediate and perminate expulsion.

Unperturbed, Marcus still hungered for knowledge. He set out to travel the land researching magic. It was his passion and obsession. For the better part of a century, he wandered the land, learning and growing in skill with magic. He built himself something of a reputation, and people started calling him the 'Sorcerer in Glasses' and he is wanted in several lands for stealing secret tomes of magic. Hearing rumors of powerful magic being found in the North, he traveled there seeking ever more knowledge.

Pandemonium

Name:

Ferris Gray Solidor

Age:

20

Gender:

Male

Race:

Human

Weapon:

Damocles
Equal parts gun and sabre, able to smoothly transform into one or the other. As weapons go, this one is pretty simple, but its simplicity belays its deadly efficiency. The semi-automatic handgun packs powerful, high caliber rounds, and the blade is razor sharp. His favorite type of ammunition are hollow-point tracer rounds. As with all weapons, Ultimatum is Dust ammunition compatible.

Gauntlet(Pictured above):
Ferris's prosthetic left arm and his main weapon of choice. Made from a durable, highly-heat resistant metal, the "fingers" taper to a very sharp point, effectively functioning as a claw. Set into the palm and through the wrist is a massive and powerful shotgun so large it could called a cannon. It has a huge amount of recoil, enough to knock Ferris off his feet. Made to put down your average oversized, armored and charging Grimm. Dust can be loaded directly into his Gauntlet, allowing him to charge it or his Semblance with various effects. With his Semblance, though, he has to physically touch the metal for it to have an effect.

Also worth noting is his left leg, which is also prosthetic. He keeps lightweight so it does not hinder his speed, and as such, it is void of weapons except for a gun set into the heel.

Specialty: Midrange

With his semblance and weapons, he can effectively fight from any part of the battlefield, at almost any distance, except for extremely long range. He is a fast and nimble fighter that sacrifices defense for speed. He prefers to fight from a safe distence, gathering information on his opponent's capabilities, finding their weaknesses or waiting for an opening before moving up close and personal. His hand-to-hand fighting style is a juxtaposition of graceful, fluid slashes with his sword punctuated by brutal, crushing blows with his Gauntlet.

Semblance:

Metallurgy:

Ferris's semblance is quite complicated at first glance, but it primarily deals with two simple forces: Push and Pull.

When activated, his semblance allows him to telekinetically exert either a Push or a Pull on most anything made of metal, including alloys, similar to a magnetic force. Most metals can be affected, however, for some reason, certain metals, like aluminum and its alloys cannot be manipulated. Normal laws of physics (Force = Mass * Acceleration, Momentum = Mass * Velocity, and the conservation of momentum -- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction) still apply here, so if he pushes or pulls against a more massive object, then him, he will be moved. Or if he pushes (or pulls) against an object much less massive then him, the object is moved. If he and the object are similar in mass, both will move relative to their respective masses.

A secondary aspect of his semblance, is when active, transparent blue lines appear. The lines are visible only to him, and serve a very important purpose. They connect to his center of gravity and lead to sources of metal in his vicinity, allowing him to "see" metal that is not immediately visible. The thickness and transparency of the lines indicate the distance and mass of the metal, respectively.

While powerful, his semblance does come with a multitude of drawbacks and risks. One of the more obvious ones is that if there is no metal in the vicinity, his semblance is completely useless. Another would be accidentally injuring himself by pushing himself into something, pulling something at himself with too much force, crushing himself by Pushing or Pulling on so, something too heavy. He has to be very careful when using his semblance lest he hurt himself, or even others around him. The direction he can Push or Pull can only be outward or inward from his center of gravity. Very importantly, he cannot manipulate metals in direct or indirect contact with another's awakened aura. No idea why, just another quirk of his semblance.

Personality:

Ferris is charming and dashing, yet cunning and cynical. He comes across as cocky and self-centered, but he usually put others first. He also tends to be theatrical, acting melodramatic for his entertainment and others. When he is not being a large Ham, He carries himself with a refined, gentlemanly manner. But when provoked, he has sharp tongue, and an even sharper wit. However, he will walk away from a fight if he can. He likes to meet people, and he is generally friendly, but he emotionally keeps people at arms length, never letting them get too close. He is not much of a team player, he would rather give orders then receive them.

Color:

Argent

Emblem:

A series of separate silver geometric patterns in a cross shape that resembles a sword pointed downward.

Visualization

Appearance:

Ferris is a very tall, lean man, with short, semi neat, black hair that slightly covers one of his piercing yellow eyes. Several old scars ranging from small to large mar his face and body, especially around his left shoulder and leg. His left arm and leg are replaced by prosthetics. His left arm is long and shiny silver in color, it looks to be made of interlocking metal plates that function as protective and decerative armor. He keeps it covered by his coat, and on the sleeve over it is stylized black metallic pattern. His leg is much more natural in a appearance, being normal sized and shaped.

He is almost a always seen wearing a white and black coat with metallic buttons and black belts wrapped around it with a hood lined with grey fur. Under the coat, he wears a white and black sleeveless shirt without trims. On his right hand he wears a white glove with his emblem on the back. He wears black pants with metallic patterns on the belt and a white metallic pattern by his knees. On his feet he wears black armored shoes with white-grey fur.

I can do discord for communication.

Into The Dark: Mercenaries (Heroes of Fame and Fortune)

@POOHEAD189

Sorry for the huge delay, but I'm almost done. Just working on the background. I have two question, though.

One, what/where is the capital of the Kingdom of Leth'Arian?

Two, if humans, or a group of them, like a traveling troupe visited, how would they be treated? Poorly? Fairly? Is there racal discrimination among the Silver elves?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Crimson Raven Hey dude, good to see you again. How's Phoenix Wing been doing since I left?

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Sorry guys but for the time being, I think I won't be posting much. My sister's condition worsened recently..... So @Cherrywitch You can use Indigo for the little plan that leads to failure. @Lugubrious You can control all my Frenzy Plant characters. @Zarkun You can also use Zephyr.

I'm not leaving, I'm just too depressed to be inspired to post quality posts, I hope you guys understand.

@Oblivion666

Tis a sad day 😭

I wish you the best, and I hope your sister gets better soon.
