Warped Earth, Twisted Air (An Urban Fantasy Dungeon Crawler RP) — Now Open!

• Name: Akuta Daichi
• Age: 20
• Appearance: "Yeah, I've got my notes from last lecture. There a problem with studying here?"
  Daichi stands at about 5'10" tall, with no real standout features other than his hair and eye color.
• Personality: In short, Daichi is a relatively laid-back individual who only puts in effort where he deems it necessary. This, of course, includes work in the Rifts (because, well, work is work), but also extends to juggling lectures, projects, and making himself known in the working world. He isn't particularly confrontational, but does have a tendency to clash when people take greedy risks out in the field. With that in mind, though, Daichi is also notably resourceful and studious, which comes at the cost of having neutered his social life. Social cues don't always click for him, and he's definitely a bit more 'book smart' than 'street smart' overall.
• Attribute (If any): Pressure [Concept]
• Abilities: With a primary focus on using his Attribute, Daichi is able to manipulate pressure—mainly air and water—around him. Any other applications. such as compression of objects, require far too much focus for him to make any use thereof in combat. With regards to water and air, Daichi can fire out pressurized bursts of either material, provided he has a source to draw from. In the case of the latter, Daichi can also manipulate barometric pressure to a lesser extent.
  Aside from that, Daichi is more of a ranged combatant, preferring to stay out of the line of fire if possible and sniping at enemies from afar. Even when put under mental duress, he is able to rationally think of the best ways to utilize his and his partners' capabilities—or, at least, enough to overcome the situation at hand in his head.
• Skills: Placing his own manipulation of pressure aside, Daichi is rather skilled in tinkering, having been able to mess with far more pieces of technology in his life than most others might have access to. On top of that, due to being made to travel a lot while growing up, Daichi is able to comfortably speak in a variety of languages the world over. That being said, he doesn't particularly stand out otherwise; with all of the skills one might expect out of a university student in his second year dorming, Daichi's skills everywhere else range from 'passable' to 'disaster in the making'.
• History: Born from the union of a foreign mechanical engineer (his mother) and a medical researcher (his father), Daichi's upbringing was, for the most part, normal. The sudden appearance of Rifts all over the world simply meant that they had a far larger workload on their hands, especially with the influx of new materials that came about in the next few years thereafter. In their stead, the young Daichi found his solace in the news, watching as the world around him began to look like something out of a comic book or video game. For the most part, though, he was content, as with all of the new and interesting came the dangerous, and more than once did he pass by a Rift surrounded by ambulances and paramedics. Here, simply seeing everything from afar would be more than enough.
  Daichi was ten years old when he was first brought into a Rift; a mistake, as it turned out, had sent a bunch of people (himself and his family included) to the wrong Rift when they were planning to travel to South Korea for vacation. Though the Rift itself had ultimately been harmless (given the other adventurers planning to travel with them) and everyone present properly compensated for the mistake, Daichi came out of the incident with a little bit more than that. As it turned out, the young man had an Attribute—and a particularly useful one, at that. Word spread quickly, the means by which neither he nor his parents knew, and soon enough the small family of three was being bombarded on all sides by people vying for his power.
  With the power of political ties, though, Daichi's family managed to stave off all of the people wanting to use him to their own ends, and Daichi himself was able to live a life free of as much turmoil as it might have otherwise due to their efforts. By the time he reached college, though, those favors had all but run out, and the offers once again began to roll in. Now, though, Daichi was able to make his own choice to decline any direct ties to any one group.
  That being said, though, the only real obligation he had now in that regard is to Tokyo University; given how useful his Attribute is to aiding in physics experiments and his possible future prestige, Daichi was offered a scholarship in exchange for running tests whenever needed and, as it turned out, building up a name for himself outside of academics. With a full scholarship on the line, of course, the young man finally caved; technically, he was still not bound to any one given group, and with the University backing him, there was no safer option in his mind.
• Other: Like a good chunk of the population of Japan, he plays mobile games during his downtime. A lot.

@ERode@OwO: Accepted.
@HereComesTheSnow: Yes.
@Duthguy: Also accepted.

Anyways, here's a thing from me. Maybe it'll help spur other ideas on.

Fate/Eternum

Question hath been answered already, so yeah.

Anyways, timeskip time. Dialing forward to the next in-RP day (yay).

Fate/Eternum

Jason Liu

Blood.

The smell of blood and burning gunpowder was seared into his memory, as was the girl who was splayed out across the floor of a small apartment living room. To the left, a tall man, wearing a black kimono and carefully training his rifle at the body, quietly stared at him. The dust in the room had yet to settle, and the magical energy seemed to hum for a moment before finally beginning to fade away.

"Wh-wha—?"

"You," the man finally said, lowering the weapon as he turned towards Jason. "We're leaving. Now."

"You just—I mean, but you—" Jason said, sputtering out a few words as the man calmly sheathed his weapon as the girl seemed to twitch. Almost as if that action, that near-unconscious motion, was enough to spur him into action, the man—no, the Servant—picked up Jason and left the room in short order. It was as if there was no need for any sort of cleaning up, despite the distinct summoning circle laid out upon the linoleum floor.

---

It had been four hours since then—four hours of moving alongside the Servant he had apparently summoned, and one who was responsible for the injury of one of his classmates. To say he was rattled by the situation would be an understatement, and though it felt as if his lungs were beating out of his chest, his head was filled with mixed emotions.

"Why did he shoot Mary?
Why am I running away with him?
How did it even come to this?"

9 AM on a Saturday morning, and the young man was already at a loss for words. The subtle dread that he might die if he didn't follow the Servant's—his Servant's directions—was outweighed ever so slightly by the fact that he had finally succeeded. Though, well...

To be frank, given the current situation it wasn't particularly likely that this dream would last for long at all.

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

With her Master out of commission, Meltryllis took to sleeping on the couch instead of one of the guest bedrooms. It was an interesting experience, but given that she wasn't going to be an idiot and sleep next to the girl who was likely thrashing about in the room over, this would have to do. The sensation called 'sleep' might have been a bit more refreshing had she actually slept on a bed of some variety, but there would be a chance to do that in the future. Probably.

"Mmm... Well, the poison should be wearing off right about now. I wonder how that girl will respond... Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't leave her room for the entire day," the Alter Ego remarked, kicking her legs up on top of one of the couch's armrests and crossing her arms. "I wouldn't mind; better than being driven around by that BB all day on some sort of errand..."

Fusang University—Teacher Hall

The night had ended for both Grey and Lord El-Melloi II without any further incident, though it went without saying that the latter had ended up being dragged back by Iskandar (who, as it turned out, didn't particularly mind trying to do something crazy once the stakes had been lowered as far as they had). Construction had begun that night, and while the Lord himself had been thrown (quite literally) into his bed before the Rider had made himself scarce, Grey was still quietly contemplating Hinami's words from the night prior.

When morning came, however, Iskandar was the first to arrive to their place of residence, at which point he promptly threw a half-asleep El-Melloi II into his chariot and rode off to wherever it was that Gilgamesh and the others were waiting. Grey, of course, was left bewildered all the same; the cup of tea in her hand and singular piece of toast on the table meant that she had expected this to some degree, but not to this level of chaos.

Ruler — Sherlock Holmes

With a steady tapping of his cane onto the floor of their shared home, Holmes quietly read over the morning news from the comfort of his reclining chair. It was interesting, how technology had come so far a ways from the days he had been alive to bring even the luxuries of upholstery to the masses, but that was a lesser thought in his mind as he skimmed through the headlines.

"Hm... 'New underwater formation discovered near eastern coast of Fusang', or so it says," the Servant recited, glancing off to the side as he looked at his Master dealing with her own work before beginning to read through the rest of the article. After a few moments, the Ruler continued to speak, almost as if monologuing to Othis (who may or may not have been paying attention at all).

"To be frank, something seems off about this; even in a world such as ours—no, rather, especially in a world like ours, the discovery of a new object of interest so close to our shores warrants a bit of curiosity on my behalf. This newspaper company is not so shallow so as to only report on minor scientific discoveries when the boundaries thereof are being tested every day—or so I would hope—so I may go and see if any vessels are planning to head towards that region later today. Would that be of interest to you as well, Miss Obberhausen?"

Rookies okay, vets also okay, famous case-by-case (since you'd be unlikely to even touch the rest of the cast, I assume).

@ERode: Alright, you've caught my interest. Let's see where this rabbit hole takes us.

Warped Earth, Twisted Air (An Urban Fantasy Dungeon Crawler RP) — Now Open!

@TheWindel: Well, depends on the item (or, uh, animal if you go that route, I guess?) as well as the skill of the Attribute holder. You can get pretty wild (no, really, just throw something out there if you think it sounds cool and not too crazy for a starter).
Re: elemental attributes: Can do both. Sometimes, having a way to focus and visualize stuff makes things easier to do, right? Same sort of situation here. It's like image training, except not just an image.
...If that makes any sense.

@ERode: Instances of both can occur (because that can make for fun narratives).
