Kingdom Hearts - The Lights of the Multiverse (KH and Alternate History) [Full]

Noel

Character Sheet
Name: Noel Lupin
Appearance:

Bio:
Noel was raised on stories of his great ancestor. While he enjoyed them and even idolized Lupin as a boy, the older he gets the more he attempted to distance himself from the Lupin Legacy. Gentleman or not, at the end of the day Lupin was a thief and a criminal, and Noel found it difficult to take much pride in that fact. Still, he learned the tricks and kept up the training through his teen years if for no other reason than to try and be a good son for his parents. But when he turned 18, Noel left home, with no intention of returning. He'd been bequeathed the Calling Card by then but Noel had already made it clear he had no real interest in using it. In truth he wanted freedom more than anything else. For two years he lived on his own, under an assumed name and far away from his family and it's Legacy.

Eventually, though, he learned of his family home being targeted. The Mask Collection was cleaned out, and the culprit remained at large. The Global Police even showed little interest in tracking the culprit down, the Masks themselves had originally been stolen by Lupin during his day so they had no real motivation to investigate. This is what convinced Noel to return home. He was still hesitant to wear the label of Phantom Thief, but when his parents were discovered to be MIA and the family home inhabited by black shadowy creatures... at the very least Noel wanted to save his parents if they were in danger. And if he just so happened to recover the Masks and showed up the Global Police along the way then so be it.
Age: 20
Skills: A descendant of Lupin, Noel is versed in a few of the great thief's many tricks. Scaling walls, speed, agility, all of it part and parcel for one who has been learning the trade. Noel's stance is a bit strange though, unlike most who wield the Keyblade he holds the weapon with a backhanded grip. While this reduces the weapon's reach a bit, it does allow for swifter attacks in exchange. As with most Keyblades, the Calling Card can be used for casting magic as well, though Noel doesn't seem particularly fond of that tactic. Instead he prefers techniques that allow him to cloak himself in flame or lightning before diving forward, Surge attacks they are often called. He's also been known to coat the blade in Light to empower it for a flurry of blows. Even throwing the weapon isn't out of the question, either, it's nature of being summoned back to his hand makes this a particularly favorable strategy.
Personality:
At most times, Noel does his best to keep up a certain charming persona. After all, a good Phantom Thief must a gentlemen in most respects. So treats other people politely, even when they are his bitter enemies, and has even been known to actually compliment someone he is fighting against in the heat of battle. Most of it is facade of sorts, in truth Noel is just trying to be what people imagine the ideal Phantom Thief to be. Underneath that, he's just another guy, and one who at time seems to have been reluctant to step into his role as Lupin's descendant.
Keyblade: Calling Card

Shadows of France

World Sheet
Name: Shadows of France
Summary of History: A world where fabled thief Arsene Lupin was not just a story. In this world, Lupin made a name for himself as a legendary Phantom Thief. There was no door he could not open, no safe he could not crack. His secret? Lupin carried a mysterious key-shaped sword with magical properties. Throughout his exploits, Lupin amassed a collection of masks imbued with the ability to grant powers to whoever wears them. These masks, combined with his Keyblade, made Lupin impossible to catch. Even when the Moogles began supplying the Global Police with magitech in the hopes of matching him, Lupin still managed to outwit them at every turn. Whether he was a hero or a menace depended on who you asked.

In the present day, Lupin's collection of masks mysteriously vanish overnight. Their whereabouts completely unknown, the task of retrieving them falls to Noel, a young descendant of the great Lupin himself and inheritor of Lupin's greatest legacy: the Keyblade.
Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): The Global Police is a unique agency that specializes in international crime and the capture of globally wanted criminals. They are also armed with advanced magitech gear thanks to their recent contracts with the Moogles. This was done in the hopes that the magitech gear would give them a counter to Lupin's Keyblade.
Overall Technology Level: Roughly like present day, but with the addition of certain magitech prototypes issued to elite members of the Global Police.
Map: Optional; don't hesitate to add your world just because you don't yet have a map!

Elder Scrolls: Skingrad Company

Justin

Name:
Justinian Octavius. Typically introduces himself merely as Justin.

Race:
Imperial

Gender:
Male

Age:
30

Appearance:


Personality:
A pragmatic individual, if nothing else. Justin only really cares about one thing: getting the job done. How that is achieved is of no consequence to him. This gives him the distinct persona of a chessmaster tactician with the self-proclaimed ability to make tactical choices that none other would be willing to make. Sometimes that might mean putting himself in danger, and sometimes it might mean sending another to their death. It's all the same to Justin, so long as the mission is accomplished in the end. Despite such an icy and thorny exterior, Justin can also be surprisingly charming and silver-tongued when he needs to be. Those moments tend to be a facade more often than not, him treating it just another tool in his arsenal. At times it's downright impossible to tell what kind of man Justin really is, as it is often buried beneath layer after layer of masks, facades, and aliases.

Class:
Agent
~Major Skills~
Blade, Marksman, Speechcraft
~Minor Skills~
Light Armor, Sneak, Security, Survival (hunting, foraging, camping, tracking, etc)

Equipment:
Crossbow, quiver of bolts, standard camping gear, Studded Leather/Hide armor, and an Akaviri Dai-Katana of all things.

History:
Born in Bruma as the son of Captain Belisarius Octavius of the Blades, Justin almost immediately found himself living in a dark shadow with impossibly big shoes to inevitably have to fill. His father was a stalwart military man, a former legionary before joining the Blades in search of a higher purpose. Belisarius's service to the Blades and to the Septim Dynasty was well known in the County of Bruma. But after receiving a crippling injury during the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius had no choice but to hang up his blade and retire from service. When the Blades locked the gates of Cloud Ruler Temple, Belisarius relocated his family to the temple where he could see them protected while also overseeing the training of the fresh recruits. Even as a retired veteran of the Oblivion Crisis, Belisarius commanded respect and was still more than capable of barking orders to the new recruits. It was during this time that Justin was soon born, and was groomed almost from the start to eventually claim his father's place in the Blades. But growing up in isolation, Justin could look down at the town of Bruma, not allowed to actually venture down for a visit. He began to long for freedom and soon found himself arguing with his father almost constantly about the subject.

Belisarius eventually grew ill however, and when he finally passed away, Justin saw not the death of his father but a chance to finally get his freedom. Over the course of his young adult years, Justin became increasingly jaded and cynical toward the cause of the Blades. He also began to think it foolish of them to just sit around and wait for a new Dragonborn Emperor, when the Empire needed them now. So after his father's death, in a daring move Justin stole his father's sword and fled from Cloud Ruler Temple. He spent the next few years as a wandering vagrant, living mostly in self-sufficiency in the countryside while only occasionally paying the towns a visit where absolutely necessary, all while avoiding the Bruma area like the plague. Eventually he found himself in the Skingrad County, wherein he soon enough found himself in the employ of the Skingrad Company.

@Double, Btw, what's your opinion on replacing Persona 4 with Persona 5, assuming you've finished the game already?

@Letter Bee

I still haven't actually finished it, but at this point it's looking less and less likely that I'll ever be able to since I just don't have the time to devote to such a long game.

Cybertron Wasteland (Transformers)

Cybertron... has fallen. Cycles of endless war between the Autobots and Decepticons have drained the planet of its most precious resource: Energon. When the mines began to dry up, the leaders of both armies saw the writing on the wall. Cybertron would not last, and the survival of their forces would require them to get offworld and to do so as soon as possible. But even that proved almost impossible, with both sides still clawing at each other even as they both made an exodus from the planet. Their war would continue, spill over into other planets over several thousand millennia. But that is not the story we tell today. The story we tell now begins where Cybertron ended. Not every Autobot nor Decepticon were fortunate enough to escape. Many from both camps still struggle to survive in the ruins of what was once their beloved home. The only viable Energon mines left have been tainted by a dark energy called the Dark Spark, corrupting the precious energy into the more powerful but more volatile Dark Energon. Cybertronians seeking to survive are faced with two horrific options: either risk using Dark Energon, or salvage what little can still be found in the countless remains of those who fell during the war. These are dark days for the Planet Cybertron, and as more and more Energon vanish from the world, the days only seem to get darker. But is all truly lost? There is one who seems to still possess hope. A mysterious transmission begins making its way across the ruins of cities and the wastelands between them. An unknown voice beckons for all who hear it to journey to Iacon, promising sanctuary and survival. The messenger in the transmission remains anonymous, never declaring himself to be an Autobot or Decepticon, and even sending the transmission on both factions' old frequencies. It may very well be too good to be true, but the survivors of Cybertron are left little choice but to put their faith in this supposed sanctuary, for nothing else awaits them in the wastes but death and ruin.

---

So as you may have guessed, this will be a Transformers RP set on Cybertron after its fall and after the big name characters have all left it behind. All that remains are stragglers who were not fortunate enough to escape the planet with their brethren. But a transmission becks all who hear it to come to Iacon where a sanctuary can supposedly be found that promises protection and respite. You can be an Autobot or Decepticon, the choice is yours, but ultimately your character may have to accept working alongside their former enemies that all can survive in these dark times. Canon characters are technically allowed, but with heavy restrictions. Big names like Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, or Starscream are obviously not allowed since they would have already fled the planet during the official canon. But a much less well known D-list character might be acceptable depending on how its written. Either way I don't plan on accepting many canon characters, as I would prefer this cast to be largely made up of OC new bloods that now have to either step up or fall to the wastes.

So if you're interested in a sort of Fallout-meets-Transformers style of RP, then stop on by!

*sits in corner, waits quietly*

Academy of Noble Arms - Reboot (With gratitude to TheHangedMan)

Even for early birds, Drake's morning routine might have seemed a bit... excessive. Most early bird types might wake up one or more hours early in order to give themselves more time to dress, have breakfast, or any number of things. Drake on the other hand woke up at 4 AM sharp and spent about two hours doing squats and going on a morning run before getting ready for school even crossed his mind. Regardless of how extreme his schedule might have seemed, it still gave the Romanian transfer student a good chance to see some of the area he was now living in. It certainly wasn't the Romanian countryside he was used to, but it had its merits.

By the time he did reach school, a bunch of the local students were gathering and beginning to sing. He had no idea what the song was, not being well versed in this country's customs, but the students looked to be making a good time of it. He found the room number matching the one on his morning class schedule and pushed open the door. Within in he found other students, but like him they weren't locals. It seemed kinda quiet, almost awkwardly so at first. Well, Drake decided that if no one else would break the silence then he would do it, "Good morning." he said with a cheerful smile before finding a comfy looking seat to take for himself.

He wasn't empty handed. Apart from his backpack, Drake had with him a steaming cup of coffee he picked up on the way to school. Shockingly enough, lots of morning exercise could leave one drained by the time they got their actual daily life. The coffee was to give back some of the energy Drake burned away during his morning exercises. He wasn't sure if coffees were allowed in the school but he figured he'd be fine if he could finish the cup off before classes actually started.

Once the local students started filing in, Drake overheard one of them introduce himself. Believer in heroes, huh? He thought to himself silently. Then without warning he got up and approached the desk they were sitting at, "Only a believer in heroes? Guess I've got one up on you then, 'cause I do more than believe. I am a hero." he said, gesturing to himself with his thumb, "Name's Drake Lecarde, but give me a month at this school and I won't even need introductions anymore. You can definitely believe in that." but his big introduction went ignored momentarily. Another local spoke up, something about the President coming and then boasted about being assigned to provide extra security.

"El Presidente, huh? Must be a pretty big deal then." then he went over to that student's desk and leaned in closer, "Of course, when you think about it, this a school chock full of superpowered students. You'd have to have a death wish to attack this place, especially when heroes like me are around on campus."

Academy of Noble Arms - Reboot (With gratitude to TheHangedMan)

Drake

Name: Drake Lecarde

Age: 16

Nationality: Romanian

Noble Arm Name & Appearance:

Sky Piercer

Noble Arm Abilities:

Wings of Freedom: User summons a pair of wings that greatly enhance the height at which they can leap into the air. While airborne the wings can also be used for a time to maneuver their descent or even slow it down to a glide before the wings vanish.

Meteor Impact: A follow-up where, after using Wings of Freedom to leap high in the air and position themselves, the user crashes down onto their intended point of landing spear-first. The spear itself is a piercing enough attack but the actual landing also tends to generate a small shockwave directly around the user as well, hence how the ability got it's name.

Dragon Spiral: A more powerful variant of the Meteor Impact. In this attack, the user himself becomes the spear so to speak. Before they wear off, the user wraps himself in his wings and comes spiraling down on his intended target like a giant drilling spear head. The impact is greater and thus produces a stronger shockwave, and the drilling nature of the attack gives even more of a maximum penetration to break through most shields or defenses. As a trade-off, this variant is more taxing on the user's stamina and thus can only be used a limited number times before rest is needed.

A Hero's True Form: Rather than merely summoning a pair of wings, the user summons for himself a suit of matching scaled armor that greatly resembles the form of a silver dragon. While donned, the armor grants extra protection from enemy attacks and enhances the power of his other Noble Arm abilities. The form has a limited time, however, and once that time runs out the user is drained almost completely and is unable to continue fighting until they've had a period of rest. When the form does run out, the user expels the power by way of wrapping himself in a cloak of flame that immediately takes the form of a lunging dragon that flies forth to devour his opponents.

Personality: Drake is a driven individual, but that alone is not particularly unique. It's what he is driven by that makes him stand out among his peers. Drake is driven by one thing, his desire to become a "true hero". What that actually means or entails... well he's always pretty vague about it as if he himself isn't entirely certain. He is, however, certain that it involves strength and honor and those things are typically what he latches onto. This makes him a particularly chivalrous sort, not afraid to leap into battle to protect someone weaker than himself or to simply punish an evil doer. That's what he says, anyway, but there is something else hiding in depths of his heart. A darkness rarely seen but dangerous if left ignored: desire for revenge. It's not something Drake would ever openly admit to, but to say the temptation hadn't ever shown its allure to him would be a lie. He does his best to keep it buried, to give that darkness no quarter in his heart. But one person's willpower can only do so much.

*Likes: Stories, Legends, Heroes, Reading, Training, Hunting, Fishing

*Dislikes: Corruption, Liars, Cowardice, Disablers, Cats (yes, seriously)

Fears: Losing his family, losing friends, and in some ways... himself

Bio:

Drake Lecarde was born in a small rural town, the name of which he can't even recall. When he was still a small child, the town was... "visited" by a segment of the Disablers. They believed an Arms Master lived there and they were determined to see them neutralized before they could become a threat. The Arms Master they were looking for was not Drake, but another man living in the town wielding a blacksmith's hammer as his summoned weapon. As for Drake himself, he was separated from his parents, left hidden in a barn wrapped up in his father's jacket like a blanket. The town's community was the kind that stood up for one another, and the townspeople stood by their Arms Master neighbor and paid the price for it. The town was practically reduced to a ghost town.

Drake would have starved, but as luck would have it, was found by a passing Romani family who took him in and raised him as one of their own. In the old days, during medieval times and even into the Renaissance period Romani often lived in caravans of traveling minstrels and entertainers, among other things. And while those caravans don't really exist anymore in the modern age, some Romani families maintain traditions revolving around song, dance, and storytelling. Drake's adopted family was one such example. Drake grew up on tales of heroes and legends, and chivalry and heroics. And when he summoned his Noble Arm for the first time, Drake instantly realized that he could become like the heroes in the stories he was told. Drake's first bit of training involved using his spear to hunt and fish.

But his first experience with the Disablers would not be Drake's last. They reared their heads again, having discovered him among his adopted family. He was determined not to lose another family, and it paid off. He was able to successfully defeat the Disablers, but Drake's adopted family saw something in him. They called it a darkness, one drawn to him by a desire for revenge. In end, agreed upon solution was to let Drake live somewhere among others of his own kind. Perhaps being around other Arms Masters and receiving real training and mastery of his powers would give Drake the clarity he needed to not let his heart be consumed with vengeful thoughts. Drake, of course, saw this as his big chance to finally become a true hero.

And so, Drake made it to Trinidad, now among the newest transfers beginning their first years there. He would have to start at the bottom like any novice, but Drake was determined to make his name known and to leave him mark as a True Hero.

*Current Goal: Become a True Hero. Right now that seems to equate to becoming the top ranked Arms Master.

Student Rank: 1500 (being among the newest transfers, it is natural he be made to start at the bottom rungs)
