Just you...

and me.
Welcome to my little personal den of Hell! Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right?
I'm a roleplayer, same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:
Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!
As you can see, that particular tactic fucking failed. Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is Chrom x Robin (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?
Speaking of loonies, the Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.
"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?" "Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."
"So I heard."
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.
There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. Goodbye Octopi.
There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever. Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.
There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms. Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. Another with too many dimensions. Another with not enough. Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn to survive. Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion. And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution. An atlas of dead-ends.
Then again, there is one exception.
There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness. And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.
Might be making some edits in future. I just did the bio for now.
Name: Ryoki Mochizukki Age: 28 Appearance:
Height: 166cm Weight: 74.5kg
Likes: Music, her scarf, flirting, having fun with friends, experiencing new things, playing an instrument, making people laugh, drawing, dancing, not working, otakudom. Dislikes: Working, dishonesty, death, depressing topics, serious topics, bullies, things that aren't fun, normal people.
Party Trick: Ryoki has a deck of tarot cards. Should you request it, she'll give you a reading. Using the power of the arcana, she can supposedly tell you your future. Of course, if that doesn't cut it, she can play just about any instrument, and has a large stockpile of puns available if all else fails.
Profession: Ryoki is an aspiring musician who works from home. She has a wide variety of instruments that she owns and plays, but is best with violins, guitars, keyboards and saxophones. Not to mention singing; she loves to sing! She uploads her music on to sites such as YouTube and makes her own albums. She's not world famous by any means, but still makes enough to make a living. Mostly. Ryoki also works part-time as a voice actor, getting job offers every now and then to voice characters for anime, games and so-on.
Bio/Personality: Ryoki has always lived in Shine City, and is rather upbeat and daring. She's willing to give just about anything a try and, for better or for worse, doesn't have any real sense of shame. She'll flirt with boys (and sometimes girls too) and loves to tease. You could say it's in her nature to try make others feel good about life like she does. Ryoki comes from a rich family who wanted to give their daughter the opportunities she wanted, and, as such, they allowed her to pursue her dream of making music. Ryoki has followed that dream ever since she was young and has found herself climbing the ladder of fame and success one rope at a time. She still has a long way to go, but remains persistent, working hard as she aspires towards becoming a top musician. She'll sometimes perform at Mochavine Cafe and Bar, as it was the place where she first started out as a musician. She's never had much interest in romantic affairs, despite the flirting. She's also secretly a bit of an otaku.
... At least, that's how she used to be...
These last couple months have been absolute Hell for the Raven. Ever since The Incident, Ryoki hasn't been herself. The first month was the worst. A case of delirium and severe depression in which time she barely ate, slept or spoke with anyone. In fact, she barely left her apartment, if at all! Her first ever attempt at suicide was committed, and she was hospitalized for a month in an attempt to rehabilitate her. She attended her sister's funeral; it was... very difficult. Tragic. Another month passed and she wasn't showing much signs of recovery, no matter how much affection she received. She was now able to go home, however had to take anti-depressants. She managed to get back into working at the casino, and was steadily restoring, showing a slow, progressive rate of healing. However, if nothing is done, it may be quite some time before Ryoki can at least mimic her former self.
@Takashi And that very person was Ryoki's sister, so if I'm coming back with Ryoki, there's no excuse! XD Well unless you wanna play another character, which I can't stop you from doing :P
"The fact of the matter is, I can do a lot more to make you a better person as your enemy than as your friend."
Row'tu Embliien
(Pron: Row-two Em-blee-en)
Age: 19
Personality: Quirky, albeit a bit naive and lacking much common sense, Row'tu is... not one you'd pitch as a to-be mastermind strategist, at least upon first glance. Her voice is quiet and lacks conviction, and she's hard-pressed to speak up. However, this personality is known to switch to a cold and calculating evil supergenius when presented with just about any kind of problem or situation which may require more than one approach. A switch flips, signalling her quick turnabout in personality, allowing her the ability to issue orders and speak up if necessary. People say she torments herself with puzzles and strategy, and Row'tu works herself to exhaustion in order to come up with a cunning plan or idea if the situation presents itself.
Outside of battle, or anything else she could pin down to tactics and strategy, Row'tu is best described as awkward and clueless, yet oddly a bit of a critic. She is curious about many things, almost like a child, yet when it comes to anything which involves structure she can be a pain in the ass. She's not too well-versed when it comes to speaking in general, and has had many mishaps over the course of her nineteen years in regards to her lack of social intellect. She finds personal issues difficult to deal with and conversations usually end up silenced by her not knowing what to say. She intentionally tries to give herself a bad reputation in order to make those around her seem like better people; she tends to be asocial as a result.
Backstory:
"I was supposed to be an omen of good, leading to prosperous times... Now I don't know who I am..."
Row'tu was raised in the southern kingdom of The Welds in a small cottage just outside a forest village; that much she knows, however for the most part Row'tu's true identity is unclear even to herself. Her true place of birth, as well as her parents, are lost to her. Since very early on in life, Row'tu was without her blood relatives.
However, that's not to say she didn't have a family. Well, somewhat. At an age so young she can't even remember, Row'tu was taken in by a man she now refers to as her 'mentor' as well as his wife. This couple took care of her from infancy right up to her teens, and has essentially molded the girl into who she is today, for the most part. The man taught her magic and strategy, and his wife a few common courtesies, however for the most part Row'tu was raised to be more calculative than wise.
Due to a violent confrontation with one of the village boys when she was young, resulting in a small scar above the left eye, Row'tu wasn't awfully willing to venture out a lot. Instead, she preferred to keep indoors, strengthening her mind and practicing her magic away from the eyes of society with her mentor, whom happened to be one of the core strategists for The Weld's army and a fairly decent practitioner of magic himself. The man would go away at times, leaving Row'tu and the woman she strangely referred to as her 'auntie' home alone, however it wasn't all bad. Whenever he was home, Row'tu would learn strategy and magic from her mentor, and he would tell amazing stories of his battles and experiences as a strategist.
To most, these tales may come off as boring or lacking in heroism, however Row'tu's imagination thrived on hearing of her mentor's grand adventures. Ever since he took her in, she wanted to follow in his footsteps.
When Row'tu reached the age of eleven, she was given a magic staff. In comparison to her, the staff was huge, however she was assured that she would grow. Her mentor taught her how to cast spells using the staff, and it has played a vital role in Row'tu's inventory ever since. It's only ever required repair once, when she was fifteen, as the staff had reached it's limit and the crystal it housed needed to be recharged or replaced, which it was. For the most part, Row'tu's life was completely ordinary!
... However, that changed completely when the Orcs invaded. Her life took a turn for the worst when she woke up in the middle of the night to smoke and fires raging in the distance. In a fret, her auntie told her to get up, grab whatever essentials she could, and to run. Row'tu did just that, and not even a minute later, the two were running northward to escape the threat of the Orcs. But fate was a cruel mistress, and would only allow one of them to continue on to Edessa...
It was a stroke of luck that Row'tu happened upon one of the earliest and fastest refugee caravans. She, alongside countless others, were taken northbound into Edessa, running from the Orc onslaught. They made it to the capital, however Row'tu wasn't content with staying there... No, she was going to head further North - to the Northern most reaches of Edessa, or perhaps even beyond into Ardel. Without the money or supplies to accommodate a horse or carriage, Row'tu trekked on foot to Ardel, alone. Being one so frail in body, though, made the journey incredibly difficult.
It was only through luck that she happened upon another refugee caravan, though this one was headed to Ardel. This new-found reliance on luck has put Row'tu in a state of worry. Luck can only hold for so long. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she'd have to be smart. And so, she will.
Skills and Abilities:
Professional Mage: Row'tu has practiced the art of magic ever since she was young. However, she's much more of a support mage than a combat mage. Her skills generally involve restricting an enemy's senses/movement or confusion, creating traps, or making it easier for allies in general to take on foes by amplifying their abilities. This allows her to stand back and get a greater view for the field of battle when in an engagement in a group, amplifying her strategic ability. However, if alone... Row'tu won't have much in the way of a defence or offence in which she could use to defeat even an individual opponent.
Thorn Bind Hostage - A spell which causes five magical roots to erupt from the ground and constrict a target. This variation of Immobile Root consumes much more of a person's stamina, however is incredibly powerful, as the thorns not only immobalise a target, but will burst with intense, explosive magic energy when struck. The strength of these roots is determined by the level of concentration put into the spell and the skill of it's caster. Row'tu's casts can range from a minimum of a couple seconds up to several minutes, and can range in effectiveness from light cuts to at worst to deadly explosions at best. This is Row'tu's primary spell and, as a result, Row'tu is quite skilled in it's use when fighting a strategic battle. The thorns have a much longer duration than the roots of Immobile Root, no matter the cast time.
Immobile Root - A simple spell which restricts almost all movement upon a single foe, however can be cast on multiple foes to hold them all down. They're considerably easier to cast and are much less taxing on the caster than Thorn Bind Hostage, however have limited use. Immobile Root has different level of effectiveness depending on the caster and the cast time associated with it. Some mages have been said to hold down entire squads of enemies using this single spell! However, Row'tu is only at the level where she can hold down two people effectively at once using the spell. Her charge rates range from five seconds to a full minute, with effectiveness ranging from a slight impairment in mobility to being completely immobile.
Lullaby - Unfortunately, Row'tu's skill with lullaby is much to be desired, however it is still a useful spell. This simple spell puts a target to sleep for ten seconds, however can be re-cast again and again to keep a target incapacitated for an extended period of time. Simple and without variation, this spell casts in three seconds and recovers in eight, giving the target a single second to avoid being put to sleep again. Row'tu can keep a single opponent fully incapacitated, provided they don't evade within the one second they wake. Naturally, if the target is hurt whilst they're asleep, they wake up completely, nullifying the spell until it can be re-cast.
Gravity Cube - Another simple spell which slows down the enemy's movement. When this ethereal cube is cast and flown overhead, it slows down enemy movement speed (in general) with a radius of up to 3 meters. Despite it's limited range, Row'tu has maximized it's efficiency by amplifying the effects of the cube so it slows enemy movement up to 40%. Row'tu has yet to fully master this spell, and has only recently begun to get a grasp on how to nullify it's effects for allies of hers; it will take some time to perfect.
Illusions - Creating illusions, nice and simple. Row'tu isn't too good at maintaining her illusions, and can only make copies of those around her effectively. However, say she were surrounded by heavily armoured soldiers, she can make a group look bigger than it really is. She struggles to hold out when using these for long, and so practices by creating illusions of animals every so-often. Due to the spell being incredibly taxing, it's safe to assume this spell will only be used once per battle without help.
Karma's Virtue - Row'tu's newest addition to her spells, which means she isn't very experienced in it's use. When cast on an ally, Karma's Virtue will take a percentage of force dealt by an opponent on that person and add it to their own strength, returning it for a single attack. Experienced users of Karma's Virtue can have the spell absorb the hit and utilize it's strength up to 100%, on top of the ally's next attack, creating a truly devastating blow. Row'tu's version of the spell can only take up to a maximum of 5% of the opponents attack force and give it to her ally, with no defensive ability being granted to her ally. It's one of her least taxing and fastest casting spells.
Orb of Light - A simple orb of light. Simple and easy to cast, Orbs of Light are about as basic as you can get. Due to the simplicity and low cost, it's possible to create so many orbs it's blinding not just to one foe, but to many. Row'tu can summon a single orb for hours without need for break, so long as no additional spells are used.
Professional Strategy/Tactics Knowledge: Row'tu knows quite a bit about the world of strategy and tactics. Her level of understanding the world around her and seeing the bigger picture is rather impressive, and she is cunning when it comes to deceiving or ambushing opponents. Even if it's something as simple as plotting a route for a trading caravan, Row'tu will look at all possibilities and determine their likelihood like a human calculator. She finds it difficult to beat herself when playing board games alone.
Novice Leadership: Despite her ability to create strategies and tactics, applying them herself to a group is... difficult. She'd rather explain to someone else what she's come up with and let them issue the orders than do it herself. However, if the situation truly calls for it, Row'tu can call forth her strategic persona to explain the ideas on her mind. However, usually by this point, things are truly dire and the order to retreat has been called.
Novice Cooking: Seemingly enthralled with food, Row'tu really wants to learn how to cook. However, she kind of... well, she sucks. However, she's willing to learn, taking the whole cooking thing just as seriously as she does her magic. All she needs is a suitable tutor... and maybe some luck.
Journeyman Scribe: Row'tu knows how to read, write and all that, however excels far more in statistics than with literacy. Her knowledge with numbers allows her to deal with most numerical paperwork in a quick and orderly fashion, and she's fairly decent when it comes to writing things like letters and reports. She wishes to further her abilities as a scribe and, like her cooking skills, wishes to acquire a tutor.
Equipment:
Spellbinder's Staff; Used: The one and only staff in Row'tu's possession, the Spellbinder's Staff is a decently good staff which lessens the draining effect of her spells (they require less energy to create/maintain). Being a relatively simple staff, the effects aren't great, however it's definitely noticeable in battle when using it. It's slowly losing it's effectiveness due to how long Row'tu has been using the staff, and is in need of magic repair.
The Woodsman's Talisman; Old; Broken: A golden wood amulet which Row'tu always keeps on her person - a gift from her mentor. The wood is cracked and the enchantment formerly on the amulet has decayed into nothingness. It's Row'tu's wish to have the amulet repaired and re-enchanted by someone of great skill in memory of her mentor.

Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right? <br><br><font color="purple">I'm a roleplayer,</font> same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:<br><br>Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!<br><br>As you can see, <font color="purple"><span class="bb-i">that particular tactic fucking failed.</span></font><br>Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is <font color="darkblue">Chrom</font> <font color="pink">x</font> <font color="purple">Robin</font> (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: <font color="darkblue">Awakening.</font> Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?<br><br>Speaking of loonies, the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeAWfrBMa2pytnTYnxAtiphQGJU3ojDD7">Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project</a> has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.<br>	<br><br>	<br>	</sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><br><img src="https://alynerd.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/tumblr_nvrmdwbdkf1ruyji8o1_1280.jpg?w=840" /><br><br><div class="bb-right"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?"</sub></font><br><font color="purple"><sub>"Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."</sub></font></div><hr class="bb-hr"><div class="table-responsive"><table class="bb-table table"><thead class="bb-thead"><tr class="bb-tr"><th class="bb-th"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"So I heard."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</sub></font></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkvxGnlWwAEShes.jpg" /></div></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-right"><sub><font color="purple">"There are better places<br>to take a nap than <br>on the ground, you know."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</font></sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="A Hymn For Goldilocks">A Hymn For Goldilocks [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://static.tumblr.com/b572f57912d8b5345269f9dc72e04359/yveunmd/zEwn8f4ke/tumblr_static_4fc6jqggm90kg048ok0kkw0ww_640_v2.jpg" /></div><br><br>There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.<br><br>There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. <br>Goodbye Octopi.<br><br>There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. <br><br>And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever.<br>Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.<br><br>There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms.<br>Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. <br>Another with too many dimensions.<br>Another with not enough.<br>Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn<br>to survive.<br>Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion.<br>And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution.<br>An atlas of dead-ends.<br><br>Then again, there is one exception.<br><br>There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness.<br>And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. <br>It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.<br><br>~Exurb1a</div></div></div>
