"Ugggh....Did anyone get the name of that...."

The ground swayed and rumbled, almost like it was water rather than solid ground beneath the woman who laid there on the grass. For some reason it felt familiar, only to be swept away in muddled thoughts and visions. Pain, joy, sadness, and a piercing emptiness that seemed like it would go on forever as she swore that she smelled sea water for a brief moment before it was gone. What it meant was impossible to tell, as consciousness slowly began to return to the blond haired woman, leaving her only with a confusing message and a single name: 'Sarisa'.

Slowly she began to wake up, her eyes flickering open to see a field of green stretching out in front of her in row upon endless row of grass. Sarisa herself was stretched out upon the same grass, oddly soft and comforting amidst the fuzzy and clouded tumult of her own mind, even as it settled for the moment. She was left to wander and wonder, trying to figure out why she couldn't....think, remember how she had gotten here.

"Hey, are you awake now, kupo?"

A slight groan escaped at the irritating noise, but Sarisa quickly realized that this one was not inside her head, and rather nearby. Her clothes rustled as she turned in place, shifting to see a small creature with a red ball on its head staring at her. For a moment there was a flash of panic, then irritation, before it settled into a dull acceptance. What was this again? Oh, right. Some silly animal.

She groaned, sitting up as she looked over at the annoying creature. "I am now," she grumbled to herself, and to her companion as she looked around. Surprisingly, it seemed like there were other people here, yet she had the feeling that something was missing. Not the gaps in her memory, which were fairly obvious, there was a deeper ache inside her, like something precious was no longer with her. Honestly, the fact that she didn't know what it was was starting to tick her off.

A hand came to rest on her knee as she examined the creature, who in turn seemed to do the same to her. "Who're you?"

"You can call me Mojito, kupo!" For speaking with such odd mannerisms, the creature had a very dull tone of voice. It was a bit annoying, but Sarisa decided that she had bigger things to worry about at the moment. "I found you here."

She grunted, bracing for a moment before rising to her feet. "Is that so? Well, thanks." It was somewhat halfhearted, since Mojito obviously hadn't done anything to help her recover or wake up, but she couldn't really be annoyed about that, when so many other things were important. She took a few steps before a glint caught in her eye, drawing her over to where a steel blade laid in the grass.

Stepping over to it, Sarisa crouched as she examined the blade before picking it up, making sure that it was sharp, checking the weight of it. It seemed passable, even if it wasn't that long. She wasn't sure, but she had the feeling that she could use the blade pretty well in a fight, if she needed to. After a few moments she decided that she had a good enough impression of it, and decided to inquire with her current companion. "Did you bring this?" she asked, looking over at Mojito.

After a moment of waiting Mojito shook his head, the red pom swaying in the wind as it accompanied the motion of his body. "No. It was here when I found you, kupo."

"Huh." Considering it for a moment, Sarisa at last gave in ad slipped the dagger into her belt, where it was securely held and easily in reach should she need it. "Guess it's mine then. Finders keepers." Not like anyone was going to argue with her, at least as far as she could tell. The presence of a weapon for self defense made her feel a bit safer, allowing her to focus on other things such as figuring out where she was.

Now that she had risen, Sarisa could get a better look at everything. Grass continued to stretch as far as the eye could see, but there were now plainly trees about as well, providing some shade and dispersed across this open field so as to not make it completely barren. Yet there was more to it, as Sarisa spotted several individuals, some like her, and others like Mojito. It seemed that many of them were headed their own ways, while a guy with a weird tattoo on his chest and a red bandana seemed content to stand there and yell at them.

With a sigh, Sarisa made her way over to the man, wary to some extent but not completely closed off even as she frowned. She didn't know anything, and it was obvious that Mojito didn't. Maybe this guy did. And besides, she had this feeling in her gut that it was better to stick together as a group, working towards a common purpose, than to go it alone. "Looks like they're in a hurry," she noted aloud as she glanced from the others departing the scene towards the man, Mojito coming up beside her. "Don't suppose you know where we are, do you?"

KH 3 will come out a week before Half Life 3 does. :V

Also, working on a post now, hope to have it up shortly.

Given how recently I posted here, I can safely say that I'm still alive.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

<Snipped quote by Flamelord>

That's not how anything works.

@Unoedipal

Look man, when someone chooses to run an RP that deliberately breaks the power ceiling like a soup cracker under a sandblaster, you can't expect things to work exactly like it should. :V

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

Ah man, Alaya. That brings back memories.

Specifically, I almost applied to a Grail War RP as a manifestation of Alaya once. Or rather 'Alaya-chan'. Because shit had gotten broken so that Grand Servants were being summoned for the Holy Grail War, and it seemed like she needed to get directly involved to preserve mankind from the throwdown about to result.

I'm not saying her 'Expert of Many Specializations' gave her access to every skill created by humans, but it did something like that. :V

Oh, and her master was going to be EMIYA. Who she was kinda pissed at because of his whole 'Imma escape my contract with Alaya' schtick. Turns out Alaya is a bit Yandere when it comes to her Counter Guardians (She's still pissed at Jean for getting away)

Sadly the guy who was gonna be EMIYA couldn't apply, so it ended up going nowhere. But it would have been glorious.

Fate/Stagnant Apotheosis

Assassin nodded, folding her arms across his chest as Hector finally identified himself. He didn't exactly need to be so sarcastic about it, especially when he had just pulled a random Heroic Spirit out of the aether so he only really had himself to blame for it. Assassin might have been a bandit but he still appreciated some common courtesies. Like having a name for the person who was supposed to be his 'Master'.

He waited patiently then as Hector explained the plan he had in mind, how they were going to go buy supplies before holing up somewhere and waiting. It left him to wonder why he had not simply bought his supplies before going about the summoning, but who was he to question the way of a Magus? Certainly he didn't have any understanding in that regard, though he hoped that this sort of thing wasn't typical for a Holy Grail War.

"So, just to make sure that I understand, your plan is to hide somewhere until the other Masters in the war have killed each oher, and then go and finish off the survivors," he asked, just clarifying that with all the dead weight cut out of it. As an Assassin he didn't mind that in principle, he just had some problems with it overall. Though he was getting the feeling that Hector wasn't much inclined to listen to him in the first place.

He didn't take long to point that out. "I would like to remind you that I am of the Assassin class. Even if we do not go after the other Masters directly, it would be unwise to simply lock ourselves away to wait out the Grail War, since we would have no idea what Servants might come to attack us." He had confidence in his master....mostly, but it was better to be prepared than to simply isolate hemselves entirely.

Fine. Hoping my sudden presence didn't kill the RP :p

MEMORIA

The daughter of King Alexander Highwind Tycoon, Sarisa was lost at sea as a young girl. Rather than drowning though, she was found by pirates who named her 'Faris', and who raised her as a boy for her entire life, and she served as a pirate, fighting, learning, and growing up with them, with no idea of her real heritage and birthright. Then when she was fifteen the ship she was on encountered a mysterious whirlpool. Diving in, Faris emerged with Syldra, a sea dragon whom she formed a bond with and who helped them escape. Because of this she was made Captain, with her ship able to go anywhere regardless of the winds.

Some time after the winds died, Faris found three adventurers trying to steal her ship. Capturing them, she initially considered holding Princess Lenna for ransom, but changed her mind after seeing the Princess had an identical pendant to her. Together they went to the Wind Shrine, where Faris was branded a Warrior of Light and told to protect the Crystals of the World. She agreed to do this, but was unable to stop the destruction of the Four Crystals in their world, and lost Syldra in the process, though she did gain a sister in Lenna.

Following Galuf back to his world, Faris and the others were captured, though they were soon rescued and helped to fight Exdeath, losing Galuf in the process but eventually defeating Exdeath. It didn't stop him from shattering the remaining crystals though, merging the worlds together. Returning to Tycoon she was celebrated as the Princess returned, but snuck off to help the others, avoiding getting absorbed by the Void in the process. Together they head into the Clef of Dimensions, defeat Exdeath, restore the Crystals, and return the world to peace.

While initially ruling alongside Lenna as Queen, Faris soon gave up that life and returned to being a pirate, sailing the seas and taking care of her crew.

VISION

Sarisa is a woman stuck between two worlds. On the one hand she is the Queen of Tycoon, the long lost royal with a loving sister, but it is a place where she doesn't feel comfortable and doesn't feel free. On the other hand she is a pirate, where she has grown up so long as she can remember. Yet this is the easy choice, the comfortable one, and even then she sill has to hide things from the rest of her crew (like her real gender, regardless of how androgynous she seems to be) My hope is to give her an outside perspective on her own identity, to decide the sort of person that she truly wants to be, or to try and find a middle ground between the two.

@Flamelord I see what you mean - unlike most other game titles, V replaces that with a job system.

If so, you can change "Abilities" to "Jobs"; for descriptions, you can choose to leave it blank for the time being if you wish to build and develop the character's skillsets in the IC first, then update the sheet accordingly. However, as there isn't any restrictions on the number of job class in the original game (in fact they can potentially master all 22 jobs), to prevent your playable character from being too "OP" compared to the rest, is it okay if I ask that you restrict the jobs to 2-3?

@tsukune

Ah, alright, thank you.

Yeah, I'll probably do that, if only so my character can develop into whatever niche presents itself in the group or something like that. Is it alright if I do the same for weapons as well? I have a default one to start with, but the more powerful stuff also tends to depend on whatever Job you take, so it'd be hard to pick one to work with.
