Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

/sigh... This is happening with a lot of RPs at the moment. Between the busyness of this time of year and the problems with RPG, even I'm having trouble posting and I'm always online. If the other guys haven't posted by Monday, we'll move on and I'll start a very, very aggressive recruitment drive.

My profile's done.

[OOC] Elder Tale Western: Europe [Log Horizon] [High Casual]

Once he hit level 69, Trevor stopped questing so as to never lose those glorious numbers.

[OOC] Elder Tale Western: Europe [Log Horizon] [High Casual]

I am quite happy for Trevor to be Charak's dealer of suspect herbs.
Main reason I had him take Herbalist was to have him later start a business selling tea and cigarettes. I bet there are a lot of nicotine and caffeine starved Brits in Elder Tale dying for their fix.

[OOC] Elder Tale Western: Europe [Log Horizon] [High Casual]

Well bugger my giddy aunt, this OOC kinda ballooned on me... I was going to go with a perverted guy in a woman's body, but I see that's been semi-done. /shrug

Name:
James Eaton

Username:
EarlTrevorVI, Trevor for short

Age:
25

Race:
Wolf Fang

Class and Level:
Assassin Lvl 69

Subclass and Level:
Herbalist Lvl 44

Guild:
Silverfall

Background:
Teaching can be a draining experience for the lone bachelor and James Eaton was no exception. His chosen method of escapism was, ironically, to play online games with his students, generally a mix of FPSs and RTSs. As his students aged, they began to branch out into different genres, often dragging James along for the ride; it was during one of these experimental game-jumps that he discovered Elder Tale. While the kids' interest in the game soon waned, James himself had fallen in love with the lore and community and opted to stay on alone. Since his character build was not suited to solo play, he began courting different guilds to see if anyone could deal with his... unique personality, eventually settling in with a relatively small guild named Silverfall. With the Apocalypse he soon found his calling as self-appointed liaison with the noble houses of the People of the Land, where he fit in quite naturally. From his perspective, the new world of Elder Tale is a dream come true, far away from inter-department rivalries and having to kiss the governors' arses. The lack of proper tea and pipe baccy is a minor disadvantage, but one that he could deal with.

Personality:
Despite his average upbringing, James has always carried himself with an air of sophistication, one might say nobility. He can initially come across as snobbish, but it soon becomes apparent that he is simply playing the part of a stereotypical aristocrat from the age of Empire; affable, suave and with an unswerving dedication to a certain hot drink. However he is not always so upstanding; James is a colossal pervert and has no issue with proclaiming such to the world by way of removing a woman's undergarments with stealth and slight of hand. The fact that he would do this with a straight face whilst calmly critiquing his victim's taste in bras is a testament to his considerable mental fortitude.

Spell/Skill List:

<Assassinate>
Deals extreme damage to a single target with extra damage if the target is not targeting the Assassin. Extreme cooldown. This skill can be used with any class of Assassin's weapon.

<Right Between The Eyes>
A headshot that deals large damage with a high critical chance. Medium cooldown.

<Pinning Shot>
Shoots a bolt/arrow through the target's leg, snaring them and preventing movement for five seconds. Long cooldown.

<Explosive Shot>
An explosive bolt/arrow that deals high fire damage to the target and medium fire damage to up to five nearby enemies. Medium cooldown.

<Expert Aim>
A self buff that massively boosts accuracy and critical chance for the next shot. Extreme cooldown.

<Steel Rain>
This skill fires a shot into the air which explodes, raining smaller bolts/arrows down on a designated area. Deals dozens of weak attacks against any targets within the AoE, making it an excellent skill against a large number of unarmoured enemies. Very long cooldown.

<Triple Steel>
Fires three bolts/arrows in a narrow arc. Each shot does 75% damage and has Penetration (See Venezia's Swift Vengeance). Long cooldown.

<Buckbolt>
A crossbow-only skill, it fires a short-ranged bolt that shatters after firing, creating a shotgun-style blast that deals heavy damage and can knock a target back. Medium cooldown.

<Shadow Walk>
Temporarily renders the Assassin invisible and inaudible, allowing them to stealth around enemies. Attacking from stealth gives a +50% damage bonus against out of combat enemies. Medium cooldown.

<Wolf's Rage>
Wolf Fang racial ability. Increased damage and doubles casting speed for ten seconds. Extreme cooldown.

Equipment:
Venezia's Swift Vengeance
Ancient class Arbalest (Appearance)
A rare and extremely large siege crossbow dropped by a certain raid boss, Venezia's Swift Vengeance has a low rate of fire but makes up for it with its sheer damage potential. Firing what are essentially small spears, Venezia produces a lot of recoil when fired and so cannot be used while moving. Despite these drawbacks it is popular for its extreme range and accuracy, making it the sniper's weapon of choice for late game raiding. When Elder Tale was just a game, the Venezia's firing animation had the character's avatar go prone and deploy the built-in bipod; it can be fired standing, but many players still prefer to fire the old way.
Cannot be used while moving
Penetration: auto-attacks fired from Venezia have a 30% chance to keep going after hitting their target, continuing on to potentially hit another enemy for 75% damage.
+3 MP

Guardsman's Shortsword
Magic class One-handed Sword
A fairly common sword favoured as a backup weapon by ranged classes due to its low cost and stylish looks.

Imperial Guard's Garb
Production class Chest Armour
A little used armour due to its low stat bonuses, the Imperial Guard's Garb is modelled after the uniforms worn by high-ranking Lander commanders. With long coattails and exquisite gold lacing, this deep blue coat looks far more expensive than it actually is.
+1 Physical DEF

Yeah, I always backup my IC posts to notepad before pressing that button, just in case.
Btw, I forgot to say earlier but since Yoko is an NPC, anyone can control her for this segment. There will be times when NPCs cannot be controlled, but for the most part the will be available to you guys. So you can post for the trip to Timber whilst I put my feet up and play with myself.
I mean by myself.
... cough.

Hmm, menthol.
Fair enough guys, no worries. I thought the silence was due to the Guild's recent unreliability.

Soo... anyone there?

Even as Yoko turned away to hide her facepalm, Duncan leaned forward to address the inquiry, his face a deadly serious mask. 'Indeed. Acquisition of provisions is a primary concern; as such, I will be appointing you to go ashore once we reach Timber to procure the necessary supplies.' His eyes narrowed to a point, greatly exaggerating the gravitas with which he spoke. '... And if you forget my cookies, I will demote you all.' Something in his tone suggested that Duncan might not be joking, but he rapidly returned to his normal casual laziness. 'Of course we could always just get takeaway every night, that'll go down well. "Excuse me, I'd like an eighteen inch pescatore pizza to Warehouse Seven... Yeah, the shady, subtly guarded clearly-not-a-top-secret-base by the pub." As I said, this is a stealth op. Load up on snacks before you go.' Assuming that inquiry to be satisfied, Duncan turned to the next raise hand '... I think I drunk a lot. A lot. But no, we can't say for sure. We have verified as much of their credentials as possible on short notice and so far they've come up clean. The majority of their investors and sympathisers are confirmed to be pro-democratic, or at least anti-Deling. And so Garden has decided to take a calculated risk.' The information was still coming in from Garden's field operatives, but there was no evidence to suggest that the faction had been anything but completely honest... so far. The risks they were taking to overthrow the President were obvious and that alone had been enough to convince Corvo, himself bearing a long-standing grudge toward the Deling. 'Besides, the Galbadian Army isn't our enemy per se. Despite recent events, a lot of Garden graduates go on to become Galbadian soldiers, often officers. The country isn't the threat, just Deling. To be frank, we've been planning this for some time. it was inevitable that someone would eventually call a hit on the old man. I've always had my money on separatists or rebels; shows what I know.'

As he spoke, Duncan felt his communicator vibrate and glanced down to check the new message. Updated orders from the Head Instructor, including specific instructions on how they were to get to Timber. It was a pain in the arse, but Corvo's caution was understandable, even if his PR-centric actions made Duncan's life more difficult. 'Right, minor change of plans. Because I'm not technically a SeeD anymore, I'm not to be seen travelling with a group of SeeDs, surprise surprise... So, you will all be travelling via train from Balamb and I will meet in Timber. Yoko has your tickets and such so, uh... Well. See you all there.' As Duncan strode from the room, Yoko stepped forward, clearly flustered by the sudden change of plans. Rifling through an armful of paperwork, she eventually produced a sheaf of boarding passes, handing them to Xerox to distribute. 'A-as Mr Lerwick said, we will be taking the train. It leaves in... seventy minutes, so please pack your equipment and meet me in parking bay five ASAP. Once assembled, we will proceed immediately to the station and Timber. Thank you.' Beckoning for Kein to follow her, Yoko turned and followed Duncan from the room, Kein in tow. At this point she barely know any more than the others, but orders were orders. At least she would be able to keep her lover close though. Which reminds me, I must pack the taser this time...
