You ever take a look at the forum board, not see anything of ready interest, and decide to just go about your day? Figured I'd see if a new game was interesting, nope, ah well.

Bio
I already did an earlier introduction, but this is something one could always see, so let's roll.
Serene is the pen name that I use over on my old G+ account, which if you're able to find the account before the site shuts down, is Serene Selphia, but no fancy url, lol. But to those I'm close enough to, my nickname is Chris, and if I ask you to not use it, its nothing personal, I'm just not ready for that level of friendliness. That isn't to say I'm not a friendly person, just that I can be a bit professional when it comes to stuff. I've been rping since like...2011 I think? If I could find the Minecraft rp forums I started on(yes those were a thing, it was actually full of good rpers, but all good things come to an end of course), I'd have a precise date.
I roleplay a lot of things, well, that was the old system. About four years back, I settled down in a roleplay community on G+ called Temple of Glory, and began to stick to just one character who I kept working on, using other characters as I felt the need. That was my current primary character's father, a character I'll call the Professor for now, as I intend to post a version of his character sheet later. Probably when doing so wouldn't spoil what became of him in a storyline. Anyway, after a point I burned out as him, and switched focus to his daughter, who I use primarily in the old roleplay hub I come from. The Good Doctor, and here, no spoilers, mostly because ahaha, I'm shy about that.
I love a lot of series, but my heart goes out mainly to Rune Factory, Sonic, Mega Man, Metroid, Mario, Pokemon, and Duel Monsters. Especially Rune Factory and Sonic, though lately I've fostered a love for the Nasuverse, Fate Grand Order is a fun time. I love to read a variety of things, and I'm always online unless sleeping, so feel free to drop me a line if you need it. While I'm relatively new to the site here, I'm an rp veteran, and a skilled writer, as you'll see whenever I post the Doctor's current profile.
Ah right, more on me. I'm a college senior presently, I just had my capstone for my history degree wrapped up, and I'm proud of my progress. While I am a loner by nature(I mean my writing often keeps me trapped in my room to meet paper deadlines), I'm still a sociable person, and if you can't reach me here, my Discord is Serene Selphia#1064. So I suppose that's a bit of a spoiler, but to who, I won't say. Just be forewarned, if you ask me about a character of mine, there's a risk I'll write a lot, so make sure you're totally fine with that.
In terms of roleplay, while I do mainly fantasy/science-fiction, I can roll with just about anything(as far as I know), but if I tell you its not working for me, don't take it personally. I'm a fairly detailed writer, and in terms of style, I'm good with both combat and non-combat related narratives, I mean, my current main was built for combat initially, whereas her father is more the sociable type. The most detailed things tend to when I describe the world around, or when writing profiles for characters I adore. Basically, if I'm in tune or really love something, you could get a lot. I once wrote about twenty pages on a google doc in two hours because I loved it so much. Weird flex sure, but you can understand it. I don't look for much in rp partners, so long as you can write me enough that I understand either what you're doing, or what's going on, I'm usually good. I'll generally drop a line if I need more information.
I love learning, so if you ask me about something, and I don't have an answer, I'll gladly take the time to do at least a basic amount of research. And if you're ever stumped for ideas, drop me a line, I'm always glad to help fellow veterans or the newer folk. Heck, at one point for a friend's group I wrote an entire(albeit unused) document full of random plot ideas for the group drawn from throughout film and video games. Point is, if you need someone to talk to, unless I'm in a bad mood, or its a bad time(aka I'm about to go to bed, or in class), I'm always up for at least a quick chat. I do take commissions, so if you want a fanfiction written, give me a holler, or if you just want a custom story about a character of mine, or just ask for them to give their input on something in a non-serious setting. Still debating what to set prices for, or if I work totally free...I mean I should charge something, but anyways, wew, talk about a ramble, eh?
Alien merc with tech it is then. Won't have a sheet tonight, since I have to get up early, but I'll certainly sleep on things. Thanks for the clarity all around, just wanted to be sure on things. Wasn't planning full on "hey villain with minions" right away, was more looking at 1-2 underlings alongside the merc. So this works well
Might do a merc wanted by a few space nations due to either doing jobs against them, or just being a general headache, which could then play into someone's backstory if they so wanted, or into ongoing narratives. Being chased by other bounty hunters or space cops can always be fun. Thanks again.
So I do have a pair of ideas, which I'm just somewhat sitting on. As I am interested.
First one is a metamorph type character, who turns into a reptilian esque being akin to a dragon. I know we already have a guy doing The Thing type idea, and someone doing a minotaur, but it popped into my head when thinking about stuff. Dragon guy who possibly comes from a rich family, who covers up any time he's accidently turned. Due to the dragon esque morph, this could result in interesting scenarios. Like hoarding various antiquities and the like, as opposed to flat out hoarding wealth. I dunno, just feels like something I could slip into.
Other idea is pro-circuit gamer whose power is a form of telepathy, but instead of reading minds, she can see other people wherever they are, and read their body language, perhaps allowing her to spot what people are going to do before they do it in the game. Which would also allow her to see where they are in the games(if doing shooters), and thus allows her to get the drop on them. Ergo, a pro-circuit gamer whose power is allowing her to cheat the system, but she's really just got the ability to see what other people are doing. I know, kinda dumb I guess, but its also based on the "long range viewing" attempted by the US government at various points with supposed mindreaders.
If neither of these ideas fly, I'll see what else I can make stick to the drawing board. Thanks for feedback in advance. Would also help if either work, what rating they might get. Given neither are inherently "hostile," or dangerous, but could become so due to their powers. Not looking to play a character for their powers, moreso for how they have to deal with their powers and how this thus effects the situation around them.
What archetypes haven't been given a slot yet? I know the goal is to avoid a spread that's too much focused on one archetype, but I do want to make sure what areas are being preferred currently.
As it stands, I do also have another question, tied to one of the three ideas I'm looking at. Recycling variats of characters I've played before to save me with brainstorming time. Anyways, would a character with their own small handful of soldiers be acceptable for a character who follows an alignment close to lawful neutral?
As for actual ideas
Idea one is an alien archetype with a hint of magic to them. Alien dragon from a far away system that popped up on Earth in the relative recent past, and collects the works of humanity. Various cultural stuff. Fellow can take on a human form to blend in of course. While relatively neutral in the sense he's not an actual hero or villain, could be swayed to the good side. Mystic side would be having access to what his race dubs magic, but is really just manipulating the elements.
Idea two is another alien, but more techno, alien dragon who wanders the cosmos as a mercernary with their own ship. Might have some magic, but is more prone to using advanced tech where they can. Would be lawful neutral, but could be convinced to lean the good way.
Idea three, yeah, another alien, because I like aliens. Leader of a small force that travels from planet to planet, akin to the merc, but is actually a collector. Lawful neutral in that they do follow a set of rules, but also judges civilizations they come across, and thus could lean good or hard into being a "villian" in the interest of making the world better. Depends on how interactions go down.
Fourth idea I had is just doing a techno, maybe a cyborg or something. Not really sure there.
Well this was an unintended dump of info, but if none of these ideas work, I can drop back to the drawing board and see what works. Just found this really caught my interest, and wanted to see what would stick to the board once thrown. Thanks in advance for feedback.
Any hopes that they'd have the answer were dashed, but at the same time, Serene moved closer to her Caster, the information provided by the city's AI clearly taking her both aback, and perhaps a bit overwhelming. Then again... "Could this be...the work of whoever caused the command seal anomaly? The thought of other servants being turned into a situation like that Berserker, running amok, did not fill her with joy, even though it was unlikely that was the case. Familiars that servants were, and given her own awareness of how some saw servants as little more than tools, made her wonder just what kind of person would well...be behind all this. "More than one trouble maker would make the situation a lot harder to defuse, I imagine." Her slightly faked confidence aside, it was clear Serene was concerned. Not just for her own safety, but how her father would react to the news if shit hit the fan hard. She'd probably be recalled back to the US, and she had just gotten here, so such was...far from ideal.
"If I may?" In the midst of the others talking, something had occurred to Serene. "If you're right about the energy redirection to make command seals, what if what's going on is if someone used Age of Gods magic to thus undo what a command seal is? So if someone used the seal, instead the servant gets back power?" In other words, she had taken into consideration the other master's reflection, and the information from previously, to make her best guess on the matter. Even if probably born out of not knowing as much as more experienced masters would, the ol'razor always worked. Hopefully Da Vinci would have an idea of her own?
Oh he was sorely tempted to just shoot Holmes in the back, but that wasn't the point. Besides, he'd look bad. And not the good kind. A huff left Archer, as he hefted his weapon, gracefully sidestepping the bite of the second Wyvern. He could see what Holmes was doing, and flipped the coffin gun around, pulling the trigger, firing off a quick set of bullets into the the torso of the second, followed with another set towards the flapping wings of the third. As much as he didn't want to...defeating them would have to be done. So dazing the second, and perhaps crippling the third would have to do.
"This old man is not your meal! So begone, lizards!" Not the most imaginative phrase, but it was followed up with missiles suddenly being fired from the top of Archer's weapon, zooming up and then into the nearest set of enemies. As he then kept it going, firing more bullet streams off, strafing as hopefully, none got close to his own master. Internally, he just hoped that whatever Gilgamesh decided to throw at them next, it would...easier to handle. He didn't relish crossing weapons with an actual dragon. Or a Chimera.
If Serene was surprised by the midget that abruptly vanished, it was visible for at most, a split second before her features locked down again. She was more concerned about not falling down into the probably not bottomless hole, unless they'd somehow passed into a parallel dimension in the time it had taken to get there. The idea that the city's central AI system could project different forms based on who they were interacting with made sense. A child was more likely to put one at ease, or even represented the relative chronological age of the AI, or perhaps there was some other intent from the designers. The adult form made sense for more casual conversation...
She didn't move to say anything however, glancing to her servant and to Alkyrieze, deciding to allow them to take point. They had a better grasp even with what Serene knew. Direct experience, and Da Vinci had her genius self. Perhaps her father had somehow foreseen something, hence why he'd made it clear she should summon Da Vinci. Oh well, Serene could never tell with her father's orders what his end game was until after. Still, she was nervous, this entire matter didn't sit well...
Only for a few moments Glaive watched the others depart, before coming back to her senses, glancing over to Ashewell and the small sheep. Plus anyone else who had remained. She thought to herself about their surroundings. Food, water, shelter. All important. But at the same time, where to set up camp? Right where they were, on the edge of the water, where any passing craft could see them, or further in? Were there dryads or other forest spirits who would take offense to their actions? What if there were...if Ent were around they would have noticed by now, probably. Right? Regardless...
"Ashewell...charmed. Shelter is important. Anyone got an idea for how we can make something to store water in? Fire's going to be important. But we'll need flint and tinder for it." She mused to herself, considering what they'd need. Shelter was probably fine, Ashewell could use her webs to create basic shelter...maybe above ground areas in the trees to rest? "Hey, anyone got a way we can erect shelter, either here or up in the air? Tool making aside, while I do not require food, the rest of you will. If we're lucky, deer should be around. And they're an invasive species...so killing them is fine, right?" Glaive wasn't ordering or doing anything too commanding, she just seemed to be more curious than anything else. Being a Warforged, even if not a Titan...did have its perks.
"Maybe if we take some sticks, and turn them into spears, we can hunt? Its that or we find some way to make traps...." Looking down at her hands, the thought of...snapping an animal's neck immediately made Glaive shudder. They needed to do something. She glanced around some more, then knelt, picking up a stick if one had fallen nearby, examining it slowly, looking to see if she could...use it for something, anything. If only one of them had spawned in with a survival ability or something...
Were she capable of actually blushing, Ashewell's actions would have made Glaive all too red. But instead, she simply seemed to be stoicly taking the matter in, all while in reality, the human Jasmin Carson was freaking out. And yet, somehow, it didn't show on her face, as Glaive instead allowed Ashewell to study her, starting slightly upon being poked in the rear, but otherwise took the matter in stride, shifting, allowing for Ashewell to see the entirity of the Warforged, even with the lute on her back hiding part of her form. But once Ashewell was done there, and with the hug, Glaive smiled slightly.
"It's alright, I wouldn't want to damage you if it turned out your body couldn't support my added weight. But yeah, definitely an Android. Whose past life involved death by a musical instrument. Pretty sure its A2 I'm resembling. Never played her game...but had friends who adored the character." Despite the relaxation of Ashewell's grip, Glaive remained motionless, allowing the drider to hug her tighter if she so wanted. Once Lin spoke up, Glaive's head turned in the other's direction, considering the options. While north to the mountains would mean resources that could help them survive, as it was apparent now they were all probably once human, as afterall, why would so many different monsters be working together? But as he spoke, she came to her own decision, in part helped by the small one mentioning scouting.
"If I may, we should probably at least scout out the village, determine how it is, then decide about direct contact. We should also look into constructing temporary shelter, somewhere we can easily defend...like in Minecraft, I guess? Who knows what comes out at night around here..." Despite the concern Glaive was showing, her tone didn't convey concern so much as pensiveness, as she considered options. While splitting the party up could go badly, especially at the start of their adventure...it seemed to be needed. If this world had a thing against monsters, most of them would have issues...Though that made Glaive glance down, only to pause, realizing she couldn't see her lute. Instead, she was looking at Ashewell's...well we all know. Quickly her head came up.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't get your name earlier...Ms...?" Clearly fishing for Ashewell's name, it was clearly now that Glaive was flustered. "I uh...Name's Glaive, just Glaive." There went a poor attempt at a Jame Bonds impression. Overall though, it seemed Glaive's opinion was to divide and conquer. Presumably after securing a base of operations, no matter how temporary...
Serene had been mostly silent the entire time, only nodding when shown to the location, and allowing Da Vinci, and her...friend to take point. But finally, she decided to speak up. She had been processing all this information, and if even the administration seemed to be concerned...this really didn't bode well.
"It is concerning, although I only know about as much as Alkyrieze has told me, mixed with what Da Vinci and I have discussed, it doesn't bode well. I called my father last night, to see if him or anyone else in the family has dealt with a situation like this. However, given his own response, I don't foresee that as likely, even with his experiences dealing with...rogue mages." Being the daughter of a mage hunter wasn't a surefire way to be popular. But hey, he had had connections she didn't, so if anyone could find something out...hopefully he would. Still, it was clear she was unsure, and nervous despite how calm she appeared.
James Moriarty
Almost as soon as Ruler saw the Wyverns, so did Archer, the mastermind quickly moving so that the creatures would have to go through him to reach his own master. His hand gripped the part of his weapon that had to be, clearly ready to use the coffin like device to fight. He'd told Gilgamesh to have fun, and if these were the first foes they ran into...he could only imagine what lay in deeper, beyond of course a certain Greek servant. At least, if he recalled the traditional definition of a labyrinth, no matter what route they took, they'd eventually get to the middle. Or the final area.
"Master, I suggest you stand back, I am certain that...Holmes and I can easily dispatch these wild beasts." His intent was clear. To fight if they had no choice. While him and Ruler could vanish into spirit form if needed, such a luxury was not open to the two masters. His expression was, however, unreadable, giving away no clue of what was going through his head beyond his first actions.
