Jamie Kyrielight

Name:Jamie Kyrielight

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Appearance: Jamie is fairly tall, standing at about 5'11. She refuses to disclose her weight, only citing herself as being "Skinny yet somehow heavier than you'd think." Always wears a silver necklace with an cross in a circle attached to it.

Personality: Throughout her life Jamie has always been the girl you run to when someone is in trouble and you don't know what to do. From there she would do one of two things. Give the best advice she can about the problem. Or she would go take care of it herself. That's not to say Jamie would help with anything, she has a very strong moral compass and is unafraid to let you know if she thinks you're in the wrong. But when it comes to people in trouble, she just can't say no. Some people call her a pushover or because of this, but she doesn't really think so. Jamie just thinks that if everyone helped each other out more often instead of focusing on their own worries, the world could be a much better place.

Outside of all that she's a very friendly person as one would expect, some people might describe her as being bubbly at all times almost. Of course when she sees something she sees as wrong, she won't hesitate to step in and do something about it, even if it might get her in trouble. One of her guilty pleasures is eating sweets, she absolutely loves all kinds of sweet food and drinks. She doesn't have many hobbies due to most of her time being spent helping others, but she does enjoy watching anime when she has the time.

Background: Born in a small town in the middle of Colorado, Jamie was raised to always help people in need. Her mother was very sick ever since she was born and her dad had never been around, so she always had a lot of work on her shoulders throughout her life. But she never complained, well that's not quite true. She would complain every now and then, but she never meant anything by it, she would always help out with a smile and a light hum in her voice. This continued on for about 15 years before her life took a sudden turn when her mother's condition got worse. She was moved to a larger hospital out in the city and Jamie had to adjust to the fast paced and sometimes cruel world of the big city.

She did lots of odd jobs and worked at convenience stores to pay the bills, but it was all for nothing. Jamie's mother died a year later with only Jamie at her side. She mourned for a month with nobody to help her, all she had to her name was an empty apartment with basic furniture and a small laptop. She picked herself up regardless and continued on with her life. She graduated from high school at the age of 17 and went to work full time at a variety of places, picking up a lot of skills over the next two years.

While Jamie is happy with her life now, she feels as if she could be doing more still. While she enjoys helping people out in the city, they don't really need her help. She feels as if there are people somewhere else in trouble, people who's lives are in danger and only she can save them. But soon her life will once again take a new direction, maybe she'll get her wish...

Peculiarities: Jamie has picked up a lot of skills from helping everyone she can, she's also built up a bit of muscle from all the heavy work she's done, but there's only a few things she can claim to be really good at. At least, she likes to think she's good at them.

Baseball: During elementary school one of her friends roped her into a baseball team because "They just needed one more member for the school to approve them!" She ended up being a natural at it, being one of the best hitters in the town. So she's pretty good at swinging a bat.

Memory: Jamie has a very good memory, able to recall most things she's seen at the drop of a hat. This ranges from some dumb fact she saw in a magazine article, up to the entire essay she wrote on medieval weaponry.

Relic: A simple silver necklace with a cross in a circle attached to it. It was the last birthday present her mom ever got her, which was strange considering she was a Buddhist. She claimed to have liked the shape and thought it looked good on Jamie.

Mourningstar

@King Cosmos@Gardevoiran

Mourningstar growled as the newly named Digbie also spoke out against her, she was quickly beginning to wonder if these people were even worth continued conversation if they were going to be this obstinate. "I'm not talking you down, I'm being honest! In a situation where my life is on the line, I refuse to mince my words just so everyone can feel good! And secondly, yes! There are others like us, but guess what? They're not us! If we run into someone who seems like they're from Earth, then we'll talk to them. But I'm not going to try and make peace with every monster we see, because then they're going to kill us!" She was getting pretty angry now, so she started taking some deep breaths to try and calm down.

As she did so she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Shit. She immediately began calculating trajectories as the Wisp fired on them from above, doing her best to try and figure out which one the enemy was targeting. Her best guess was the Pixie who still hadn't given his name, so she did something crazy. Her Shield was still intact, so she tackled the Pixie aside to take the blow for him. "And finally. I'm not going to forgive someone who tries to kill my underlings. Earthling or not." With that she began to hover as high as she could in an attempt to reach the same height as the other Wisp, moving in evasive patterns to try and make herself less hittable.

"Oilburn" Slick Drake

@Old Amsterdam@yoshua171

Slick had followed along without saying much, mostly marveling at the cannons and guns all over the island as they made their way to their arena. When they finally made it they introduced to their opponents, Slick scanning all of them to see how worthy they were of being art. The one in the gas mask intrigued him the most, Slick wore a gas mask while making his art. Maybe he was an artist too? He would have to be looked into further. Doggy went off to grab some popcorn, Slick didn't bother following. He was going to get whatever Doggy left behind, he would be the first to fight just so he could get it out of the way as soon as possible.

Food Pyramid lady tried to rope him into exercise, but Slick just ignored her this time. The game of dodgeball that was about to happen was much more interesting. Sure enough, a few seconds later Doggy had tossed his popcorn to Slick and was the first up to bat against the dodgeball lady. Slick spread a bit of butter across the popcorn and began chowing down as the match started. Wrench man tried to nudge him towards Feya, but he smoothly sidestepped it without even taking his feet off the ground. On an unrelated note, the ground where he had been was suddenly much more slippery then it had been.

And so the match began, once the orchestra of explosions sounded off Slick suddenly knew that Doggy was about to lose. It didn't help how lazy Doggy was being about it, only beginning to try halfway through the match. If he had gone full force from the beginning he might have had a chance, but the motion of the ocean was just too strong once he had let it get going. As the match continued, if anyone bothered looking at Slick they would have noticed something very concerning. He looked serious. For the first time since he had joined the crew, he looked like a sane person who was taking a situation seriously. As Mag crawled around etching arrows into the ground, he threw the bag of popcorn behind him and sighed. "Lilliana. Caesar is going to need medical attention in a minute. Get ready."

Sure enough, Caesar wasn't able to account for the powers of the beku beku woman and was destroyed by the erratic pattern of the cannonball. As Caesar slumped forwards Slick shook his head quietly and looked at Mag neutrally. "Not bad, but you're a one trick pony." Slick walked towards the hole that had been left when the ball was lost at the beginning of the match, returning after half a minute with a cannonball in hand. The cannonball still had an arrow etched into it. "In a real fight you would have been demolished. You need to be able to leave a mark on the cannonballs you want to affect with your Devil Fruit." If anyone bothered looking at Slick in shock and awe, he would just smirk. "What? I'm not completely insane. Just enough so that I can make my works of art."

Slick walked towards Mag with a grin on his face as he dropped the ball at her feet, looking her in the eye as he cracked his neck. "You're going to be my next work of art. And I'll even paint in your style. Dodgeball."

I think we're all just waiting on a post from you now. Just a heads up.

Mourningstar

@King Cosmos@Gardevoiran

Mourningstar sighed and did the closest thing she could to a headshake as she could, why did he have to be so right and so wrong at the same time? "You're wrong on two accounts. One, these are just monsters from a video game. Monsters who want to kill and eat us. Two, these notifications are complete proof that this world works like games and you know it." Yeah it's a shitty thing to say, but she isn't going to waste her second chance at life just because someone was a little squeamish. "Listen, I know this sounds horrible. But this is just how life is now. Survival of the fittest, we need to get stronger if we want to live. Same with every other monster here, except we're smarter than they are. And in case you've forgotten, these monsters have no problem with ending my second chance at life!" She sounded a little peeved as she said that last bit, visibly shaking. Whether it was fear or anger, not even she really knew.

Then Jacob started trying to open up menus. Mourningstar did her best eyeroll impression that she could, which was really hard honestly. She wanted a body, she was definitely going to have to try and evolve towards getting a body. "You know what's up right Goblin? It's kill or be killed around here and I don't want to die again. The first time sucked."

Mourningstar

@King Cosmos@Gardevoiran

“W-wait. Are you from Earth? Hey!” Oh hey, he's from Earth too. Those were the thoughts that ran through Mourningstar's brain just as she collided into the already dead slime. The next thoughts as she she was covered in the slime were very vulgar and angry as she tried to wipe herself off with Lesser Force. She got as much off as she could before gathering her thoughts and getting ready to speak before the dumb goblin also spoke up with an interesting tidbit of information.

"Whoa whoa whoa, Earth? I'm from Earth! I don't suppose you two are as well? It'd be kind of crazy if you guys were." Alright, looks like she wasn't the only one contracted by the Goblin King. So the original Earth is a war torn land speech wasn't going to work most likely. Okay, let's just go with the flow in that case.

"Yes, I am from Earth. I was someone very important, but that doesn't really matter anymore because that person is... well. You probably know since you guys are here too." It was a sobering thought and you could hear it in her voice. Admitting she was dead was a bit of a hard pill to swallow, but it was just a fact. A very depressing fact that made her want to cry, but crying in front of others was going to make her look bad. "A-anyways. I'm here now, so past lives mean nothing. All that matters here is power, I was called upon by the Demon King so I need to grow strong. Strong enough to leave this damned cave and make my way to the Demon King's castle or wherever he resides. You two are lucky, for I have decided you will accompany in my rise. Be grateful, it's not every day you get to see a Ruler's beginning!" She injected as much confidence into her speech as she could, hoping to inspire these people to follow her and protect her. As Mourningstar finished she turned to the Goblin and Pixie, hoping she looked regal and intimidating despite the fact that she was covered in slime. God this is gross.

"So to start, we need to clear out this cave. All the monsters in here are easy experience for us, if we're lucky we can get strong enough to leave the cave with confidence in two, maybe three days." With that Mourningstar began to float to a nearby crystal to recharge her mana, still trying to get as much slime off of her as possible. At one point she tasted some on the off chance that maybe it could be used as a food source. That would be nice. Oh fuck that's disgusting, but she swallowed it anyways. Hopefully it wouldn't kill her.

"Oh yeah. You should probably tell me your names now so I don't have to continue calling you Pixie and Goblin. As you know, I am Mourningstar. The light that all see before as they breathe- wait, no. Shit, I fucked up the speech. I need to work on that."

Jamie

---

Dreams are the funniest things. You go to lie down in a bed for 6 to 8 hours and then get dropped into another world. You're a part of that world too, you might not know how you got there or why you're there but everyone else does. That's why when Jamie heard a whisper in her ear and opened her eyes to be surrounded by a bunch of strangers in a wagon she didn't really question things. She just assumed this was a dream and that she would figure it out sooner or later. If not, she would just wake up, so she might as well just go with the flow. A burly man drove the vehicle, although calling it a vehicle might be a bit of an overstatement. Really it was more of a handful of boards and wheels nailed together with animals lugging it around. Regardless, the burly old guy seemed like a fine enough man.

Which is why it terrified her when he stopped the cart and ran off chasing after goblins. Goblins were dangerous more often than not and Jamie didn't think their driver had it in him to take on a horde of dangerous monsters. Her eyes darted all over, looking for something to defend herself with just in case they ran into danger. Pain caused you to wake up from dreams right, so she probably wanted to avoid pain. She grabbed a nearby shield, unlike the rickety old cart this shield was actually made of metal. Very dirty and rusted metal, but metal nonetheless. She jumped out of the cart like one of the other passengers did to chase after the old guy, a small little goblin leapt at her almost immediately after she exited the vehicle(?) with the intent to hurt. Jamie reacted on instinct, swinging the shield into it's face and feeling its skull crack as it bounced off the shield and skipped along the dirt. Jesus, it actually skipped along the ground.

While Jamie still doesn't really know how she got there, she does have a good idea of why she's here. At least for now. Where is here exactly though? It was then that she remembered the words that were whispered to her as she entered the dream. Perhaps it's not a dream though, her arm was feeling a little sore after punting the goblin into oblivion after all. You're not supposed to feel pain in dreams right? Whatever the case, she knew the name of her new reality, it was the first thing she heard after all.

Mind holding off on that for a minute? I'm about to get started on a post now.
