Overlord - Glory in a new World

Kira Moonchaser

Great Hall of the Ardent Heralds

---

The nekomata and mage had a point about wanting to be practical, especially in regards to the presence of lack thereof of magic, but even now Kira could feel the power of her rings. Like a river, a flow. If they still worked this much, and their powers perhaps did potentially beyond that, then could she still use spells? Likewise the other person seemed to go...disturbingly bloodthirsty briefly. Then the fey who had flown in, as silly a she usually was in the game at least, seemed to volunteer to scout too alongside her companion of sorts. All in all the array of asking and assumptions and such was...lightly frustrating. However, a grin came to the face of the dark elf as she thought of a nice little way to test her ability to use magic here. Nothing destructive, really, just a little....entertainment.

Even so she felt a sense of ease come over her, though the seriousness of things was not lost on her. But all in all she wanted to try the spell out anywho. And so she uttered the spell she was to cast, the worlds flowing from her tongue as softly and easily as silk.

"Gate"

Kira felt the power thrum through her, more vividly than casting in-game. But she had expended some MP, and in return...

In front of where Merius would be walking, a portal would appear out of nowhere, shimmering into existence. Obviously if paying attention then running into the gate wouldn't be an issue. But if she did....the end gate was set next to the chair of the mage who had agreed with her. Nothing harsh, just a minor little jovial "prank" if the target fell into it. Even if not, it would be amusing to see the reactions to functioning magic. Heh.

"Hey, that doesn't seem so bad a result," the dark elf said, before taking a sip of wine from the glass still in front of her on the table.

Good thing this spell did not have distance limits. Otherwise, she'd have picked a potentially....less troublesome spell for the occasion. Well, the test. After all, this was a test if her magic would work.

Aerith Hastings

Chasing After A Japanese Man With A Chunni In Tow, Suttling's Basin, Priestella

@Ryofu@Rune_Alchemist

---

'....Oh my word i got brought here with a chunni,' Aerith thought to herself as she listened to the otaku-looking Japanese girl go on a minor, attention-drawing rant briefly. Internally, she wanted to sigh, loud and long, and try to let out the frustration she felt at that action. Though in reality, she merely gave a deadpan look at the other girl as she finally came around to a sensical statement.

She was about to say something in agreement to that statement as she tried to put on a casual mask for the occasion, but before that the Japanese man, who seemed to have some musculature from brief observation, smacked the other girl on the back of the head to cut her off. Oh dear. It seemed like the man had virtually seen a ghost with the look in his eyes as he had performed the action. At least, that was how it had looked to her, whether she was right or wrong about it. But the other girl's blush was enough to Aerith to show she had calmed down a...little at least. Looked kinda cute, actually.

Though beyond this, the man seemed to take off in a direction after agreeing with them on getting out of the slums and to a safer location. Whatever they could define as "safe location" at this point in an at least medieval and potentially/likely magical city. In this moment she could not help but roll her eyes lightly. Yet deciding to take initiative Aerith took a breath, grabbed the otaku-chunni girl's hand, and gave a playful grin to Chieko as she tried to drag her along quickly to chase after their fellow traveler. After all, they did not want to fall behind, and they wanted to get through this alive anywho.

"Hey, we gotta catch up! Unfamiliar place and all!" she said to the Japanese girl as she pulled her along.

Idea forming. Spider-web peeps make a floor trap, our dear Wolf Alpha killer can set maybe some basic traps. Anything else for hidden prep could be done.

Then lure trolls outside like the dumb lugs they are if they think its one or two goblins out there, and food is close, and then begin the chaos. XD

...eh, its a thought anywho.

Re: Zero: The High Council

Aerith Hastings

Middle of Alley, Suttling's Basin, Priestella

---

In a flash, her world changed once more after taking the hand of the intimidating giant of black and dark flame before her. The street around her stank of sewage and the worst sorts of things, like a poor...medieval....community. An odd being as this Lord Talus was, as much as she didn't fully trust him, she knew one thing for certain. This all was real, and someone had some kind of love to bring her here....as well as others it seemed. Two others were on either side of her, one a tall man with musculature and the other a shorter girl who came off as what the internet would dub an "otaku" of some kind. They too did not fit in this setting, but if tropes were at least the bare minimum enough to go with to this little point...then they maybe had been spoken to by Talus as well. Or another being. Maybe. Most Likely. It was all the guess work she could go with for now.

The stares they got were nothing short of strange, though not unwarranted given their....sudden arrival. Eyes peering from houses, few walking around, and the gut feeling they needed to get out of this area they were in. Then again, that word "we" might not work in this case. Two other people, two totally different reactions than potentially her own....oh dear the ramifications of this were hitting rather hard now, weren't they? A tremor went through her body as she thought about it all. Ah, food, shelter, and what if this place had magic of some kind? Wasn't that how they got here in the first place.....Maybe?

Aerith clapped her two hands on her cheeks, waking herself back up from her minor stupor. She looked over to the taller man and the otaku-vibe-giving girl who seemed rather close to her own age.

"I suppose you two were told about love by some guy in an inky black darkness, and just appeared to here?" Aerith said to the other two, trying to speak before any other potentially....more hostile or panicked reactions. Not that she didn't have a sense of panic in her chest at all, as it still shone in her eyes a little, though attempts to focus were....keeping her head level enough for the moment she supposed, a bit of a mask for now also assisting, "Er, if so, to find out about where we just landed, we might want to get of this slum. It would make sense...unless anyone here wants to scream or shout, and draw us more attention."

It honestly sounded kinda rude, and rather blunt and eerily to the point. Those were the thoughts that came into her mind about her words....but honestly she had no idea how else to go about this. It was like those survival situations talked about on certain TV shows, where if you didn't get your head about you it could go badly. Or if it was like an anime, cause you to run into an important character. Not that all the anime rules applied here at all, as this situation was very much real it seemed. But hell she was using what she could to keep her wits for the moment being, even if it sounded stupid, this after having been thrown out of the world she had known all her life without warning like this.

Then again, Talus had mentioned love.....did someone here truly love her so much? That question just didn't seem to leave her mind, did it? But she wanted to meet this person, speak with them. Try to understand why they loved her so much for this to happen...why said person potentially loved the others here with her as well, honestly.

Er, if her guess was correct.

Maybe.

....Crap.

Re: Zero: The High Council

Aerith Hastings (Post First Timeskip)

Aerith Hastings

Big Image

18 | Female | 135 lbs | 5’8” (five foot eight inches)
Yin_Shamak | Non-Native | Human

Description

A perceptive, relaxed person who is great at what she sets her mind to in earnest.

Personality

Aerith is someone who can have a cool, calm demeanor, a sort of relaxed persona on the average. Though when she puts her mind to something, or a given task, she can exert a level of focus and quality discipline/dedication in her work that is not to be underestimated even for a teenager (though can manifest the occasional stubborn moments). However, she does carry on her shoulders some grudges and the frustrations from her home life, the details of which are a sore subject for her personally and that can get her in a bad mood if dredged up. In fact it was these things helped eventually push her to attempt suicide after so many resets and perceived failures, including her feelings that she failed Chieko and was rejected by her.

Yet after being saved from this by the deal of two witches, Aerith has been able to both vent her passions and gain some more perspective about herself and push past some of the pains of her past and present. Along with some time to think about all that has happened to her and to the others as far as she knew, she has come to the conclusion she desires the truth. About the witches, and Lord Talus, and all of this so she can mete out a happy life. She also seeks to better accept her faults, and try to move forward doing better than she did before.

Aerith still values those who are genuine, a thing that still hasn't changed about her, and like before remains not always the best at conversation in certain emotional situations. She does hold Chieko and Hiro as being more valuable people to her in this world than others now, however, in part due to their shared deaths and constant company with each other over the many resets. Indeed, she (not knowing of Hiro's demise) hopes to be able to find both of them again one day as well and talk to them. Though whilst she feels grateful to Vainglory/Joy for saving her (and Melancholy for helping open her eyes), at the same time Aerith doesn't feel like she desires to blindly fall into those arms again. Or any other sets of arms or nice tits or sweet words like honey, for that matter, that could potentially be deceiving her. Though even in this, she retains her soft spot for young children.

Her ability to put on a "mask" and an impeccable act/facade has been somewhat more practiced in Joy's company, at least to an extent. She can do this eerily effectively, and ultimately appearing genuine in application even to many sets of trained or older eyes. Though it used to be a thing she feels makes her a "monster" on the inside, and still does to some extent (much like a lifelong scar), she now sees her doing this as easily as breathing air as a potential tool in her goals as well at this time. She is also still rather perceptive, such that she is also capable of reading through the "masks" and such of others clearly, among such things.

Class

If she is to be of use to anyone, including herself, Aerith must grow and learn with what she has. Despite not possessing a singular role yet fit for a "party", her expanded capabilities after the first timeskip have moved her another step closer to that end at least.

-Aerith's "big box" has now been filled with something, in this case with the Authority of Wit she gained from choosing to stay with Joy/Vainglory post-suicide attempt.

-She also now knows a variety of Yin (darkness) spells she can cast, essentially a bunch of "generic debuffs" from MMO's, such as stuns, attack or defense debuffs, blinding others (aka a blind spell), making them deaf or mute or such (along the same simple vein as the blind spell), etc.

This being said, she does lack formal/proper training in magic use, despite her newfound breadth of magical knowledge.

Bio

Aerith has had her world rocked, in more ways than one, since her and the others' arrival in Priestella. She arrived alongside two of the the other Earthlings/Non-Natives, the cheeky chunni Chieko, and the toughened boxer Hiro. At first things seemed almost fantastical, though the slums they were in proved to be more deadly, both slaughtering the trio and resulting in their first "Return by Death". Though with the help of the knights Irene and Vasilis the group was able to make it out of the slums, and ended up meeting with the other non-natives who had also been pulled into this world by the mysterious "Lord Talus".

However, from this point things began to greatly change. Others from Earth who ceased to revive along with them, constant and seemingly inevitable deaths, and in-fighting as the group of non-natives to this new world tried to move forward. Aerith herself was mentally and emotionally pushed more and more along the way, attempting to organize the group with varied success as time went on. She found a seeming ally in a boy named Ashton, however, one member of the group whom with she discovered more about what was going on. Combined with invaluable information from Chieko and the otherse, the reasons why they were being seemingly hunted down each reset came to light. The trio's (Aerith, Chieko and Hiro) actions to save their lives, as well as those of Irene and Vasilis, had drawn the attention of the local demi-human bandits who thought them to be "Clairvoyants" who could see the future.

But upon the latest reset, the group seemed to be making progress, when Chieko volunteered at Donovan's Clinic to go with the bandits in exchange for Hiro and Aerith's safety. It was at this time, however, that Aerith building paranoia about the situation seemed to come to a head. Having died to the vengeful Quill's heated blade and flames many times over, and knowing Chieko was admitting to a lie about being Clairvoyant, she feared Chieko was walking to a painful and brutal death. Desperate to try to avoid Chieko's death, Aerith set fire to the clinic, and with the help of Hiro got the three of them out of the clinic seemingly safe....until the mysterious Elder Sibling approached them.

Guessing the figure was the titular Fritzi, whose house cleaning job had gotten herself and Hiro killled before, Aerith attempted to lie her way to the forefront and take attention off of Hiro and Chieko. Maybe then, she thought, they could be safe somehow, some way, or at least get the demihuman bandits to pay less attention to them altogether. The tension was high, and as much as her acting skills were good back home they didn't pan out in this case. The accused 'Fritzi' turned her down, and Chieko seemed to turn on her completely despite her attempts to help her. Alongside Elder Sibling's comments about Aerith herself and the situation, it pushed Aerith into a dark corner of her mind...

...Soon after she attempted suicide in front of Chieko and Elder Sibling, having cracked at that moment to the pressures and constant death that had pushed her and the others so far. She spoke what she felt were going to be her final words, and then jammed a metal-tool filled candle, still hot and burning her hands, into her own neck without hesitation. She then very rapidly and seemingly succumbed and died on the spot, at least to the eyes of the others and to her own perceptions. Afterwards, more chaos ensued that she would have no knowledge of occuring. Hiro was left permanently dead by a good intention to trigger a reset. Chieko was being carted off by the demihuman rebels, and others were rushing to the scene or trying to wrap their minds around it all.

But this, this was not the end of her life. In fact, Aerith herself was not seemingly fated to die just yet.

Finding herself in the company of the beautiful witch Vainglory/Joy, and reeling from post-suicidal pent up emotions, Aerith was overwhelmed and surrendered herself into Joy's arms blindly. After an intimate time together, Aerith was in bed with the witch before being approached by another witch: Melancholy. This new arrival questioned her, made her wonder about Joy's intentions...and more so other things that had not yet been answered.

What had happened to the others? Who was it that truly loved her and wanted her here? Where were the Augria Sand Dunes, and why had Joy/Vainglory been locked up there? What were these witches, and what did they want with her and the others? Despite being offered the chance to leave Joy's side and talk to the other witches, Aerith chose to spend her time with Joy...who had both cut the deal to save her life and seemingly done a lot to keep her alive in this instance. After all, it was all she knew about things, and she wanted to ask Joy about all of these things.

With that path being chosen by her, she gained the Authority of Wit, and would spend further time with Joy whilst internally questioning herself as to what was really going on...until this moment. Waking up to a strange elf kicking her awake by a cold campfire, and not by the side of the witch who she'd been sleeping with, Aerith has been thrown into a new predicament. While still able to recall her time with Joy, she is otherwise unable to recall how long their time together was.

Now, with a greater variety of magic and a new power in tow, how will she move forward in a world that thinks her dead? Will she seek out old comrades, look for new ones, or even end up following this new eccentric madman she doesn't know? Only time will tell during this this new season of DEE-BEEE-ZEEEEEEEEE.

-Authority of Wit: Aerith can force people to laugh at her jokes. If she tells someone a joke, she can cause them to break into uncontrollable laughter, as if they've gone insane. This can make it harder to focus on tasks or even breathe. They do not need to find the joke funny or even understand it. While it's impossible to kill someone directly with wit, they will lose contentiousness if they are under its effects too long. In order for the laughing to persist, they must be within twenty feet of Aerith, and she can't effect more than one person at a time.

Description

Personality

Aerith is someone who can have a cool, calm demeanor, a sort of relaxed persona on the average. Though when she puts her mind to something, or a given task, she can exert a level of focus and quality discipline/dedication in her work that is not to be underestimated even for a teenager (though can manifest the occasional stubborn moments). She does carry on her shoulders some grudges and the frustrations from her home life, the details of which are a sore subject for her personally that can get her in a bad mood if dredged up. She values those who are genuine, a ramification of her childhood to this point, but is not always the best at conversation on occasion when it comes to words in certain emotional situations. Those whom she is close with to enough of an extent become rather valuable to her, the type she’d doggedly defend to her last breath even, and she has a soft spot for young children.

However, she can also put on facades, “masks” to hide what she really feels underneath if her mind falls back on that reflexive behavior of hers. She can do this eerily effectively and ultimately appearing genuine in application if she wants to, albeit it is trait she feels makes her a "monster" on the inside that can hide its heart so easily as breathing air. Though used to “putting on faces”, as easy as flipping a switch to her without thinking, she is also rather perceptive. Her perception is such that she is also capable of reading through the "masks" and such of others clearly, and her keen observations skills are high in general. Finally, when indulging in things that make her happy or such, it is rather easy to tell her mood, same for her anger if incited enough to show, though when using a “mask” this readability of her mood and such drops to virtually zero.

Class

The goal for her is to eventually get an Authority, to aim for something “very big” to fit into her “large box” that is her room to grow as a character. Finding her way to that end is the goal for her abilities as a character, and she is open for growth in the directions she chooses/needs to get there.

Otherwise, she is best described as an undecided individual in terms of role, not being a “generalist”, but instead being someone trying to figure out what she’d be best at amidst all the choices that lie before her. She has a level of physical fitness and good stamina, generally keen mind, great at swimming and long-distance running. She has some base building blocks at the moment for whatever paths she might go down at least.

Bio

Aerith Hastings, daughter of Alexandra Hastings and James Hastings, and a high-class American girl with what would seem to be like a perfectly normal life otherwise. Loving parents, friends at school among her peers, a sexy and fit body of very good genes that drew eyes to her, good grades, the star of the swim and cross-country teams....seemed to have it all and kept her head about it. To the masses and her peers, she seemed the normal teenage girl with a wealthy life, a rather blessed/gifted one in much of the sense. Her even being in public school was perhaps the oddity, though one she never seemed to comment on.

Though behind closed doors....her family was a mess. Arguing and fighting parents who had adopted 3 children originating from affairs the two had undergone in the past, accompanied with always putting on fake airs in public for their reputation’s sake. Though their control over her siblings was...terrible too. Twin older brothers who tended to ignore her presence altogether at times when it was convenient for them, dark manipulators at heart. A half-sister with a creepy crush/obsession with Aerith herself. And at least 2 other half-siblings who seemed to be decent humans being at least. Home life was rough normally, but at times it was ok, on very rare occasions “good”....just not enough to overcome the rest. Relatives seemed even more able to put on facades for the public eyes, even.

Life was far more sane outside of home, yes, and she had only a few close friends who knew what her home life was life. Most notable among these was Annabelle, one of the best in her public school’s track and field team, fellow anime enthusiast, and a decent swimmer who would become her best friend. The two had met by chance in gym class in middle school, and began to talk often. Then hang out often, or go to each other’s sports events to cheer each other on. And so it went. Often she stayed over with Annabelle to have her own small escapes from the world she lived in, though sometimes home wasn’t so bad. Though as she was walking back with Annabelle to the latter’s house after a swim competition, wearing a bikini under her clothing to avoid soaking her good clothes as badly during the walk, after simply blinking her eyes she found herself in a....strange new place. “A whole new world”, even, in the most literal manner possible.

Re: Zero: The High Council

@BrokenPromise (O_O) Wow this place exploded in numbers fast.

I am curious about here, so i, er, have a couple questions if that is ok.

1. Is there any more room? I suppose potentially in the non-native realm of things. XD

2. I do have another question too, though. Any limits on the flow and such of non-natives?

Thank you for your time. ^^;
