FJA 531: An Exploration of Fantasy

Within the Mindscape

A young man swordsman, eighteen years of age knelt before a golden throne, his gaze locked to the velvet carpet below him. He was covered from shoulder to toe in a set of armor shining with luster, engraved with a plethora of flashy embroideries, which differentiated in a colorful palette of shades. The armrests of the throne were made out of a flossy skin, wrapped in viridescent scales. At the end of the rests were six lifeless snake heads stared blankly at the cladded human. With them were two more, fastened at the peak of the throne’s crest rail, which flicked their tongues as their eyes narrowed at him. They emitted faint hisses, but were quickly shunned by the person sitting in the throne itself. The older man was sporting facial hair which would decimate the pride of any who attempted to compare. A full fledged beard and a mustache, accompanied by flowing hair which would woo any woman within an instant. This man- well, god, was no other than Susanoo, deity of sea and storms. Controller of tides, thrasher of waves, slayer of Yamata no Orochi.

”Rise, my herald; Cormorant of Shadows.”

Why the god of the sea and storms forced such a dreary title was beyond his contemplation. But, he had gotten used to it, and swiftly abided by his father’s command. Without a moment’s delay the swordsman straightened his back, his armor pieces clanking as they brushed against each other. A grey shield draped over his back, within it a red cross was etched beautifully. He raised his head to face the god, looking at the elder straight in the eyes.

”You understand your mission, correct?”

The boy gave a quick nod of affirmation. But the man still displayed a dubious expression, the lingering feeling to take precautions was present.

”Well, just to reinterate. You have been contacted by an envoy of the Grand Chiharu Council, which has requested your assistance. It is believed that there is a source of malicious energy somewhere within the region. They wish for you to live under the identity of one of their pupils, and eliminate the source of their problems. It may take weeks, months, maybe even years. But this quest shall render quite the reward, one which will benefit you for the entirety of your life. Bountiful knowledge and eternal profits, something which is greatly sought after. I wish you the best of luck, my dear child. May your benevolence guide you entry to such a path. Also…”

The man trailed off, until his complexion was suddenly filled with anger and displeasement.

”Why the hell are you kneeling in my cab?!”

Back to Realiy:

Shadouu’s eyes refocused, leaping back into his seat with a start. The young man was at a loss of breath, briskly repeating the process of inhaling and exhaling.

”And for the love of god, fasten your seat belt! If I get into a car crash, you are going to fly out of the window!” The taxi driver yelled back in a hoarse tone, something must have ticked him off. Oh, right, Shadouu was on his knees in the back row, mumbling to himself. That happened. ”But, I don’t think we’re going anywhere. Come on, move, move!” Or maybe it was the traffic moving at a snail’s pace which had blown this man’s fuse. Either way, he was in an angered state, and their destination wouldn’t be in sight for a while. Iruda clicked his tongue, instantly realizing those who were responsible for the traffic blockage.

”Tch. The Shrouded Ones have impaired my chariot. Luckily, I have another one I can summon!” After throwing some cash at the man, the student flew through the bluntly opened door, landing on the sidewalk. He found himself enveloped in an ocean of passerbies, all heading to their different places. Shadouu was just a lone soul in the midst of thousands, a minescule pebble in a quarry. He had to find the proper route, otherwise he would miss the check-in time. The young man held out his phone, then dramatically opened his eyes with a stern look, Guide of Lost Souls, and Chariot of Shadows, I summon you!” The maps application on his cellular device opened, outlining the fastest way to the university. He then tapped the heels of his shoes, colored in a dark scheme. Though they were outdated, the heelys still had an inexplainable charisma to them, showing off the essence of modern day fashion. In all honesty, it was for those who were too lazy to walk. Which, judging by the sales, was quite the large crowd.

Shadouu set off on his course, navigating his way through the traveling students with finesse and ease, directing himself with slight foot movements. By the time he had arrived, the dead was in the middle of a glamorous speech. He listened intently, captivated by the fluency of her voice. It was able to speak out to its listeners over the bustling of the city backdrop. But, soon enough, he must not forget his objective. Students were either watching the dean, or were lugging their luggage off scene. Even though his father had sent his luggage a week in advance, instead of tending to it, the student was forced to proceed to the only class he had. FJA 531, what he perceived as the group his employer would place him in. Soon, he found his teacher, with another student in his presence. A grin parted on his face, Shadouu focused on the professor, ”Do not fret, for the Herald of- I mean… Shadouu Iruda has arrived. May I act effici- oooooh, steak~” He quickly seized a few cuts of the meal, and dug into the delicacy.

Woohoo! Looks good -- approved! I think you shall be on the Green team, unless you have a preference.Jedly, whenever you're done/approved, you'll be on Red as you requested to be teamed with Tatsua.Thundercat's character will be the fifth member of one of the teams, depending on his/her choice or according to the character's personality.If anyone else still plans to submit a CS, we could either assume 5 people per team or open up the White team and rearrange for balance -- but we'll cross that road if we come to it.

Alright, it'll be up in an hour.

*Deh CS*

Accepted, you're free to hop onto the chatzy n' stuff. Gonna log for the night.

Lantern

It's 12 in the morning here, but I'll have a bio up soon. CLUTCH MOMENT ACTIVATE.

Hato Shirudo

Hato Shirudo

Age: 17

Appearance Specs:
Standing at 5’7”, Hato is pretty lanky for his age. In comparison to most, his build lacks physical aptitude, is frail overall, and weighs at only 105 lbs. This blatantly contradicts his diet, being quite glutton when it comes to food, he has what could be perceived as a bottomless pit of a stomach. His athletic capabilities aren’t that much of a priority, as he spends a majority of his time delved into his studies, so he definitely looks the part. His hair is dyed with pigments which are nearly impossible to wash off, making their maintenance an easy task.

Occupation: Astronomer

Personality: Hato has a constant, calm and cool charisma floating around him, and it follows wherever he goes. Keeping a blank complexure even in the face of unfathomable danger, he relies on self-deduction and analysis as his choice of armament. Guided by common sense, he can come to a logical decision within a matter of seconds. This assists him dearly in his studies, since a majority of the field is based on speculation and the adept techniques of observation. But working in the line of astronomy, one must put up a proper and legitimate argument to support a case, in the chance that there are those who oppose it. To say the least, his icy cold narrowed stare is enough to make a debater stand down.

Bio: A child’s behavior is developed from experiences with their parents and the world around them. Those who brought said child into existence have an immense influence, and can turn or lead them down a certain path. His parents were strict, had a legitimate thought process, and always found a resolve. Perhaps they molded him into the person he is today. Though, their personalities held no worth, as they had barely any income whatsoever. And with being poor, was the feeling of being on part with discarded and used trash. With his frivolous existence served on a silver platter stained with grime, he had to make something out of nothing. A mountain out of a molehill. An impossible goal, that is. Well, his parents proved useful by amassing enough money to send him to a school of questionable demeanor. Even in such a rundown institution, in the middle of an ocean of imbeciles, Hato shined like a brilliant, vibrant, saint. It was as if he was humanity’s saving grace, the one to lead out out of the dark age of stupidity.

With his intellect, he found his abilities most employable in an untouched field. To take a step into unknown terrain was unheard of, since one didn’t know what was in store. The boy delved into astronomy, committing his time to studies on his own accord and paycheck. He published his works, and soon became renowned within the town, and soon the entire region. There were those who waited on hand and foot for even a glimpse of his findings. Even with a gloomy upbringing, his brilliant still shined. He continued to conduct his research, and enlightened those around him.

Lantern

*Raises hand* Actually, might just jam out something right now, while waiting. I'd be up to team. I'll quickly write up the personality and a good bio.

Lantern

CS'll be up tomorrow morning, sorry for the wait.

Beyond the Horizon

Probably gonna end up making a male character, since I've already brainstormed a bit. As I've said, the CS will be up tomorrow. I'll be able to jam it out during after school studyhall.

Beyond the Horizon

*Gets pulled in holding a coffee cup*

G'afternoon! ERode recommended this RP to me, and I'll gladly join. I'll have a CS up later tonight or tomorrow. To my understanding, I will be writing up a non-native, who would most likely be part of the crew on Avis' Feather.

Oh, and congrats on becoming a father, '76~
