Awesome.

Worm - The Malfesant Throne

@Sickle-cell
I have one question to ask. Will our characters be starting off as members of factions, should we ask for that? Reason for asking is because I'm considering porting over one of my characters as a potential Ward.

The Crucible - Winner Take All

Bonesword - Funny Business

The skeleton backpedaled as Charlie grew to block the hit, roaring as he took the bulk of the blow. The mighty beast shook it off as it saw something twinkle within the bottle. The Egg Timer. Charlie leapt up into the air, finding his way back into the bottle, grabbing the timer, and launching back out. He had his head poking out while Bonesword engaged with the hammer clown, who he temporarily dubbed Hammer.

The skeleton ran over to a nearby table and looked at what was on it while he held his Shroomblade in a defensive stance. He noted the few gags that he thought would be a bit more... sinister given what these clowns could do. It was then that he saw a balloon used for making animals with, and he instantly saw it as something far more than that. He saw it as another weapon to add to his arsenal, but he felt a bit paranoid to grab it as he was. It didn't seem to fit someone like him... at least... not yet.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, the skeleton slammed it as he transformed back into BoBonesword. Charlie saw the transformation and assumed that the clown was still his master, and as such, he was still perfectly willing to fight alongside him.

"I hope you enjoy carrot cake..." BoBonesword began his taunt, grabbing ahold of the balloon beside him as he raised it up like a sword, feeling the weight of it as very similar. "... because it's time for a party!"

"HoNk."

The War of the Three

@KoL
Will do what you said.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel
Reflect thy Boon basically is just an inversion of faction effects.

So instead of Demons -> Machina -> Angels -> Demons, it's flipped the other way, becoming Demons <- Machina <- Angels <- Demons.

Can be easily removed though, if you would like to do that.

The War of the Three

Apia, Queen of Bees

@TheWindel
~Intermission~

Apia finally found the last RILD member in the Halls of Hell, and naturally, Apia was a bit intimidated by her appearance. The snagged-toothed grin in conjunction with the dark eyes really made Apia uncomfortable. Alas, she had to ask Dana a question, so she worked up the courage to approach the big bad leader with her head held semi-high. There was always the underlying thought that she'd die... but hey, if she did she could always go to someone else? That was a guess, but it was really Dana that was one of the best cases for this.

"Hello, Dana. Is this a bad time to ask you a question...?" She smelled a lot like eldritch horror... essence, so Apia didn't know what to really take from that. She could've been very busy with someone and Apia didn't want to intrude on that.

"Hey, wake up. There's trouble. Hero time. And it's like...3pm or something."

Xoxi rolled off of the couch, landing on the floor with a thud as she heard Lucky speak to her. The amputee looked up at Lucky with a tired expression. "3pm? Jesus Christ, how much did we drink...?" She said as she leaped back onto her feet, looking around at everything while she regained her bearings. A ghostly hand appeared in front of Xoxi, and she was a bit more relieved. She could at least recognize that. One time she drank she could only see it as a ghost and she was scared shitless. It was embarrassing, even though Pudding didn't admit it.

Throwing on her hoodie, Xoxi walked over to the door with her bag, ready to head out... whenever, she guessed. She was still a little hungover, but she could fight through it. It'd only be about thirty minutes at most until she was sobered up.

@TheWindel@KoL

Goddess of the Sun

"Laying a hand on Heaven will get you an audience with me."

Name: Amaterasu
Goddess of the Sun

Age: 999
Gender: Female
Allegiance: The Angels of Heaven
Race: Goddess
Height: 5'6"
Weight: Calm down, Susanoo

Personality:
Cold and calculative, Amaterasu watches over the Heavens and keeps it in check for when the others in her place cannot stand up to what threatens the angelic forces. Unlike her sisters, Amaterasu's very somber and stoic, often showing a lack of emotion due to her absent heart. She tries her hardest to give an impression that she's feeling something in an effort to get some kind of feeling, but most attempts have only resulted in acid re-flux, sadly.

History:
In the distant past, Amaterasu was slain by her brother, Tsukuyomi, out of jealousy and hatred, who later came to the realization that life wasn't all that great if he didn't have his sister. Out of depression and sadness, Tsukuyomi eventually committed suicide, rejoining his sister in death, much to the dismay of Susanoo. Susanoo fell into a depression that eventually led to his death, in a sense. While the depression was not the exact cause of Susanoo's death, it is believed to have played a big part as Susanoo charged against armies, willingly fighting until he would eventually fall in battle.

Much later, the three deities were reincarnated into their forms, at roughly the same times. Acting as a unit, the triplet trio of Godly Sisters was born into the Heavens, retaining their knowledge of their powers and strengths, and tasked with the goal of keeping the Heavens safe from any harm.

Interestingly, the youngest triplet of the Godly Sisters (by about five minutes) was born... cold. Unlike the versions commonly told about, this reincarnation of Amaterasu was born without a whole heart, as it was effectively torn from her being thousands of years before her reincarnation. As time has passed, a small sliver of her old heart had been reformed, allowing her to feel some sense of compassion, and while she tries hard for it, she longs for that familiar feeling of a full heart.

Powers:
Godly Blessing - At her will, Amaterasu can buff her allies with a defensive aura. The aura can double the defenses of her allies very briefly, or it can slightly increase the defense for an extended period of time. The time period cannot extend for more than a minute or two at a time.
Flight - She can fly. What else needs to be said?
Reflect thy Boon- This spell inverts holy energy. Meant to lower the anti-corruption shields of Machina, or render their imitations of holy weapons powerless against demons. Some broken angelic steel salvage brute forced into the shape of a chainsaw does not a true Holy Weapon make. It can also be used against angelic spells, but this generally only works against low-to-mid tier holy effects (and weapons, to be fair). The weapon/armor effects are instantaneous, and thus cannot be dispelled, but the item will eventually reassert their natural qualities, though it will take longer than an average battle. This spell is fairly subtle, and someone without keen thaumaturgical senses might not immediately realize their anti-demonic tools no longer work.
Solar Manipulation - Amaterasu is able to control forms of light and fire similarly, able to apply both of those powers in various ways (typically defensive ways). Her manipulation of these elements often leave them with a certain aspect of holiness, resulting in a passive amount of holy damage that is proportional to the amount of damage she would inflict with the attacks normally.

Notable Applications

[+] Light Wall - Amaterasu raises a wall of solid holy light, able to block even the strongest of attacks and grind enemy advances to a halt. The walls have a short duration, but they're damn effective at what they do.
[+] Prismatic Armor - Reflective armor, able to absorb light and redirect it back at the shooter, and able to take a fair amount of hits before shattering and revealing the tender Amatersu from underneath it.
[+] Fire Storm - Amaterasu can throw a fireball that explodes, causing several more fireballs to rain down from the Heavens and explode on a target, dealing additional damage.

Weapons:
Shortsword - A regular old shortsword, and even though Amaterasu prefers not to use it, she's not a slouch with it.

Equipment:
Yata-no-Kagami - A resilient mirror to the common person, but the best tool in Amaterasu's arsenal when held by her. Amaterasu is able to tap into the true potential of the mirror, allowing for the mirror to become a sturdy shield when contained in her hands. When possessed by Amaterasu, the mirror acts as a full blown shield, fitting the size of it's wielder accordingly, and reflecting most forms of projectile damage back at the attacker in a concentrated form. The mirror itself is also able to show the truth behind someone, revealing who they really are on the inside, whether it be a merciless dictator or a humble family man.

Other:

beta stages.

Goddess of the Moon

"Let's all get along everybody! Oh, dear, except you, sorry, I'm gonna shoot you a lot."

Name: Tsukuyomi
Goddess of the Moon

Age: 999
Gender: Female
Allegiance: The Angels of Heaven
Race: Goddess
Height: 5'9"
Weight: Ah, this armor makes me look fat doesn't it? It's not me, really!

Personality:
Shy and personable at the same time, Tsukuyomi loves being with others, but is never quite brave enough to take the forefront unless her sisters are with her. When her sisters are with her, she can let that shine forth and be bubbly and active which occasionally leads to her going a little too far with Amaterasu. She hates to see either one of her sisters distressed and tries to make peace between Susanoo and Amaterasu, or solve her own trespasses against Amaterasu as quick as she can. Outside of combat, Tsukuyomi loves taking care of her pet rabbit and cosplaying duo with it, even if she's generally too shy to show anyone. Some might think it's strange for a rabbit to have a pet rabbit, but Tsukuyomi loves her rabbit Rabbit anyway.

History:
In the distant past, Amaterasu was slain by her brother, Tsukuyomi, out of jealousy and hatred, who later came to the realization that life wasn't all that great if he didn't have his sister. Out of depression and sadness, Tsukuyomi eventually committed suicide, rejoining his sister in death, much to the dismay of Susanoo. Susanoo fell into a depression that eventually led to his death, in a sense. While the depression was not the exact cause of Susanoo's death, it is believed to have played a big part as Susanoo charged against armies, willingly fighting until he would eventually fall in battle.

Much later, the three deities were reincarnated into their forms, at roughly the same times. Acting as a unit, the triplet trio of Godly Sisters was born into the Heavens, retaining their knowledge of their powers and strengths, and tasked with the goal of keeping the Heavens safe from any harm.

The middle triplet of the Godly Sisters (by one and four minutes respectively) was born with half heart. Her sister Susanoo had a whole heart, and Amaterasu barely had a heart, but Tsukuyomi had half one. In order to prevent himself from ever harming Amaterasu again, Tsukuyomi had sealed his jealousy, anger, and anything else he thought might cause him to harm her inside his bow. This lead to Tsukuyomi's emotional dependence on her sisters.

Powers:
Flight - Tsukuyomi can fly, shifting the tides of her personal gravity and flitting about on wings of moonlight.
Lunar Manipulation - Tsukuyomi is able to manipulate her connection to the moon in all sorts of ways. She's all over the place. While the most prominent ability is ice, Tsukuyomi is not as adept at ice as Amaterasu is defensive with sun and fire, or Susanoo is powerful with lightning. But she has a broader range of abilities, and in particular most of her non-ice abilities give her unpredictable maneuverability.

Notable Applications

[+] Sliding Ice of Trickery - Tsukuyomi can create spreading ice sheets from under her feet that somehow helps her skate where she wants to go even faster and easier than usual. For anyone following her, it seems to be a trail of regular ice. Right up until it stabs you by suddenly spiking upwards.
[+] Frost Armor - Tsukuyomi can't dodge everything, no matter how much she tries, and so has an elemental armor like her sisters. It doesn't have any neat rider effects like Susanoo's attack booster or Amaterasu's reflection though.
[+] Chill of Death - Tsukuyomi's arrows need a little extra umph, and this is that umph. She enchants her arrows to, upon striking, unleash ice into the tiniest cracks the arrow creates, expanding the crack and tearing what she hits apart. Hopefully. If it doesn't breach, the ice will just create a frozen shell.
[+] Shifting Tides - Tsukuyomi can manipulate her personal gravity and momentum for sudden shifts to unexpected directions. She also uses this a lot to help her balance while doing Taekwando in midair while holding a bow, and that particular use of it has become instinctive.
[+] Erratic Orbit - Tsukuyomi can designate a target that she will suddenly begin orbiting around, just one more way to unpredictably move. She can also do this for her arrows, allowing her to curve her shots.
[+] Totem of the Rabbit - Tsukuyomi can call upon the power of rabbit-ness to gain additional speed, especially on the ground. It also raises her kicking power a fair bit. Any allies nearby that are willing to gain ephemeral bunny ears also gain a little bit of a speed boost.
[+] Bunny Shaped Rice Cakes - Tsukuyomi carries with her little rice cakes that she swears give you the energy to run forever. While perhaps hyperbole, they still do seem to regenerate stamina, though not magic or wounds.

Weapons:
God Kicker Boots - Tsukuyomi's boots are enchanted like weapons, because on Tsukuyomi's feet, they definitely are. Nearly unbreakable, and conductive to heavenly powers. They also shift slightly to accommodate the changes to Tsukuyomi's feet when she uses Totem of the Rabbit.
Counting Bow with the Fate of Death - When Tsukuyomi draws back an arrow, a mirror arrow is created near each ally that stands (or as is more often the case flies) with her, allowing her to turn everyone in her company into an archer. When performing an arrow barrage like this, while including anyone who is not her sister, Tsukuyomi cannot enchant any of these arrows. If the only partners involved are her sisters, she can still enchant them. When one of her sisters perishes, Tsukuyomi is made aware of what killed them, and can fire arrows through her link with her sisters and the nature of death, from the tip of her bow to the space within a meter or so of her sister for one vengeance barrage. This bow is summoned by her heart whenever Tsukuyomi makes to draw back an arrow with it.

The War of the Three

Apia, Queen of Bees

@TheWindel
~Intermission~

Apia shot out of her bed, sitting upright in her hive. She patted around her body a few times as she stared around, remembering the past events vividly in her head. Everything up until her frontal lobe was slashed... then she woke up here. She must have respawned, and despite her respawn restoring her form perfectly, her clothes were still tattered from the battle. "Oh boo." Apia muttered as she climbed out of bed, heading to her closet to put on some real clothes.

Once she was dressed, she sat down on her bed and going into thought. She couldn't do much in that battle, let alone in any other, without a serious upgrade to her arsenal. Someone like Ghelgath was able to help out with that by merging his power with her bees, making the Frozen Bees, but even with those bees, she was still fairly useless. She needed something else, something more to get her the edge she desperately needed to stand out, to fit in, to actually be able to fight. She knew how to get it, but with that path it seemed she'd have to consult one of the oligarchs to get her powers.

Between Rufus, Lucille, Ira, and Dana, only two of them stood out to Apia. Ira and Dana. Lucille was powerful and all, but from what Apia's sweeties told her, Lucille was the least likely to get a hold of her powers. Rufus was a no purely because nobody knew what he actually did.

This left Apia with two options, and naturally, she picked the one that made the most sense to her.

Grabbing her Honey Rod as she wormholed into Hell's castle, the hive mother began to search for Dana. Apia heard that Dana was a vampire, so maybe she'd get some cool vampiric powers from Dana... or maybe just indigestion. It was one or the other.
