Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum [7/10 Slots]

Watching Charlotte approaching him in the air, Xerox also noted Eika exiting one of the airships. As Charlotte landed, she told him she was at his order. "Relax, we are both candidates. Although I am leading, don't need to be formal." he told her, turning around and slinging his giant spanner onto his shoulder. He started to walk ahead, with Rue leading the way, listening and smelling for movements ahead.
"Anyway, we will be making our way to the Northern entrance. There will be less mechas, since this area's footing is bad for machines. Most vehicles won't be here either, so most of our enemies will be foot soldiers. The entrance is about two and a half kilometers from here (~1.5 miles for US measurements). At the left to the entrance, there was a hanger. Hopefully we can get in and get one of their mechas from there. I will then rig it up, at that time you will cover me.
There shouldn't be too many soldiers who notice our infiltration though, if the other team reaches the East entrance. They have more enemies to deal with, so should take a while longer to reach the entrance than us. Once I finish the rig, I will pilot it into position, and then once clear, you will set off the machine which will in turn destroy the substation. If I get my hands on a SAM08G, it would be ideal, since the explosive will release all the cannons and cause massive collateral damage to the area. The distance will cover most of the substation.
Before detonation, we will head for the East exit and reduce the enemy forces further. That way the Galbadian army has less soldiers to fight with, and a loss of a substation at the same time. You can use Thunder from quite a distance right?"
Xerox finished his explanation of the plan with a couple of questions. "Do you have anything you would like to add to the plan? Or see any faults I may have overlooked?"

After Charlotte was given a chance to speak, Rue suddenly halted. He came back to Xerox, and started gesturing with his hands/front paws along with his body. "Hm... a small platoon of six, huh ... Most likely lower ranked soldiers? How can you tell? Oh ... they are rather nervous huh ... It's a battlefield. It's how things are." Xerox spoke to Rue, before turning to Charlotte. "I would prefer not to kill, so I am more likely to knock them out instead of kill. It is your choice whether you kill or not. Anyway, there's six soldiers in approaching us, and even if we try to sneak passed, it won't be possible in this place." The rocky landscape had no where to hide. "Let us deal with this quickly and move on." he said, with his giant spanner still slung over his shoulder. However, his body seemed more poised for battle, despite the little change in stance. His left hand seemed to be holding some scrap and a screwdriver, for reasons unknown.

Umichi

Smiling to Suki, Umichi checked his skill slots before accepting the quest, in case the timer started immediately. He made sure he had <<One-handed Straight Sword>>, <<Detection>> and <<Acrobatics>> equipped. "Well, then, I'll be back." Umichi said to Suki, with a wave after accepting the quest. John started to speak, but the timer had begun. Dashing off, he went to hunt for Little Nepents.

Detecting some at his three after about ten meters after leaving, he dashed and jumped towards the group. There had been six of them. For Umichi, it was no problem, landing in the middle of them, he swung his sword in a circle, similar to <<Serration Edge>>, however, it was a non-system assisted attack. Slicing them once, he thought they would be dead, however, they were left with a sliver of health, not even a % left. Spinning once more, he finished them. Not even two minutes had passed, and he was a fifth of the way. But damn, these must be stronger than the average Little Nepent.

Continuing on, he found a few more groups, some he cut them while running through, others he used a different sword skills. Finding groups from four to eight. Finally, he was up to his last one. Going for an overkill, he used <<Horizontal Square>>. Looking at the timer, he had just barely passed 10 minutes. Damn it, I still need to be faster. he thought to himself, noticing the timer was still counting. He made for a dash back to the hut, arriving in another minute.

John the Old Man started to speak. "Oh ... Why .... Thank .... you .... for .... taking .... care .... of .... the .... problem .... Please ... take .... this .... as .... a .... token .... of .... gratitude." His speech was still slow. In front of Umichi came up with a completion box.

Quest Complete said
EXP - 500
Col - 1000
Items:
- Pot Plant

It seems his quest completion time was also recorded . It read that his time was number 1, completing in 11:02.1. Second place was .... 24:43.2. It seems he blew the competition away by quite a bit. "Well, just over eleven minutes." Umichi turned to Suki with a smile, taking out the Pot plant. What materialized from pixels into his hand was a pot, with dirt in it. Apparently he needed to water and give it sunlight daily. For now, he was giving it some sunlight in the "afternoon" sun that was approaching "evening". "I wonder what it is" he spoke curiously aloud. Umichi then sat down, putting his Pot plant next to him, waiting for Suki to start and wait for her to finish the quest. "Now it's your turn. Your time to beat is 11:02.1" he smiled cheekily to Suki.

YukiHana

As the little girl had ran in the circle to attack at least one of the Little Nepents, it seemed that two more had left the main hoard to attack the Onii-san. "Sumimasen deshita Onii-san!" YukiHana apologized formally aloud to Kingetsu. As she continued to run, another Onii-san, with a dagger and shield, jumped in to help her. He took out one and hurt two others, but lost some health himself. The Onii-san had started to attack like crazy, but only scratching the Little Nepents, not dealing much damage. Having taken some of the hoard's attention, she noticed the Onii-san wasn't paying much attention. There were a couple attacking from a blind spot.

Taking advantage of the learning algorithm, YukiHana started to stop and skid to a halt. The hoard still following were confused, at that moment, she ran through the hoard, cutting through without any sword skills. She ran for the Onii-san, tackling him and rolling along the ground. With her energeticness, she jumped back up. "Baka no Onii-san! There's too many to just jump in at once!" She cried out, starting to run again. The hoard that had split for the little girl and the dagger wielding Onii-san had mostly come together again. The hoard that followed had left another 5 behind to attack the dagger wielding Onii-san once more. She still had a good 16 or so to deal with. The damage she dealt as she ran passed was about 6% of their health, since it was not system assisted, nor was it very fast or strong.

Lances work in different ways to spears, except for their thrust. Spears can be used more versatilely, whereas lances are more fixated. Glaives wouldn't be an impossible weapon to exist though. They might not have been mentioned or seen since a lot was skipped over. However, there was for a fact that Agil used a Halberd (I think) or Battle Axe of sorts. These two are similar polearms, unlike spears, which are generally classified as a separate type of weapon.

Spear --> Lance
But Also
Polearm--> Lance
Too variable
Too many possiblities

With your stat specs
I mean, sure, 9 str and 19 agi isn't a great start for a tank, however, if you go with the next 10 levels with strength, it would balance quite nicely

I don't think there was anything with shields really, just a higher shield skill meant greater reduced damage when guarding. I don't think there were any shield bash skills, I think that would just be a non-system attack, which may damage slightly and push enemies away.

Sorry, my post was allowing for the character to change types

Re-spec .... not sure about making a quest thing available, but generally speaking, it's not like having some agility is bad. It still helps, and there can always be the transitioning phase.
However, I am up for you to re-spec still but don't really think there would be a possibility to re-spec

With shield skills .... Let me think on that a bit

I mean, does it apply like sword skills? Therefore a shiny shield? I don't think that was a thing.
Just let us discuss the shield skills a bit more okay?

Also the thing about lances ...
Although we saw them, unsure how they were classified and used
I am unsure if they would be an Extra skill or not, but they did only show up later
It would not JUST require one thing though, Extra skill unlocks seem to be more complex and unknown than simply, get skill to this level or complete this quest

Hanako is an only child in a rich family. Her parents did not spoil her though, but they do treat her well. She’s grown up with their parent’s friend’s children. An older boy and an older girl. They were like Hanako’s older brother and sister. They would do many things and play together lots. The parents encouraged the children to get along, which they did, and hoped they would continue to as they got older.

As the announcement of Sword Art Online came out, her parents, who were closely associated with the production of the game, had decided to spoil Hanako a little and got one of ten thousand copies of the game. They promised the other kids, that when the second batch was released they would get one as well, but for now the kids would share. When it was time to play, Hanako excitedly spoke the magic words, “Link Start~!”

Personality:
A cute little girl who is a bit clingy. She's innocent and is curious about lots of things. Friendly and energetic, yet just a little mischievous, a simple but perfect way to sum up the girl known as Yukizawa Hanako. Beaming with life, and playing pranks from time to time.

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

Sorry took so long for me to get a post out
Been busy and couldn't be bothered last night when it was ... 2-3 am?

On another note, Caits, could you alter the Dagger skills a bit?
One is separating the two-handed sword skills (LOL) and also adding information on <<Rapid Bite>> that it is a charge type skill of medium skill?

Umichi

"No no, you did great," Umichi retorted a little to Suki's comment. He smiled to her, walking, leading her along. She suddenly brought up the punishment. He looked at her puzzled. She started to laugh a little, mentioning for the punishment to be after the quest. "Um... you know ... I suggested to compete with the quest ... not with the fight just then ...." Umichi hoped he did not confuse or embarrass Suki. Suddenly a message came from Ayame, it read:

Ayame said
"That's fair enough, I'd think. Suki too busy to send the message, or did you decide on your own, Former Leader?I kid, of course. By the way, if you two have the time, could you help me out with this project? I'm trying to get a recording of what's happened in the game, and knowing everyone's story would probably make it easy for me to make something cohesive out of this."

Reading it aloud for Suki to hear, he laughed afterwards. "Former leader, ey? Anyway, I don't mind helping her, do you Suki?" he asked her, starting to type the message. "Hey, I don't mind helping out, as for Suki [ ] I recommend, that if you are trying to get a recording, then you should try talking to others. I can't say our group is very, representative." Once he got Suki's reply, he filled in the blank area.

"It seems we are almost there." Umichi said to Suki, without there being more trouble along the way. As they got closer, there was a clearing. There stood a hut made from logs, with trees and a garden around it. In the garden, an old man was digging up the soil. The old man was an NPC by the name of John the Old Man. With a straw hat and a receding hairline, he seemed quite elderly, and had a thin grey beard, but no mustache. The old man sighed, slowly getting up. "Hello there." Umichi greeted the NPC.
"Oh ... Why ... hello ... there" John the Old Man replied slowly.
"What are you doing at the moment?"
"Oh ... Just .... clearing ... the .... weeds ... Actually ... if ... you ... don't ... mind ... could ... you ... help?"

A quest box appeared in front of Umichi, alone. It seemed that Suki would need to talk to him to get her own quest going.

YukiHana

"Switch!?" YukiHana continued to run, confused by the onii-san's words. The Little Nepents were mostly chasing the little girl still, however, four of them had changed target, focusing on the new enemy, the onii-san that had run towards her. The little girl continued to run, trying to run in a circle once. Getting close to one of the Little Nepents approaching the onii-san, she continue to run, poising the dagger to start the pre-motion, activating <<Side Bite>>. Cutting into one of the Little Nepents twice, dealing some good damage. The were almost no post-motion, and she continued to run. She wanted to help kill it, but had lots of difficulty, just running around like she did.

"Onii-san-tachi! Tasukate~!" she screamed out again, still approaching the other older men. HanaYuki was losing speed, she had been running as fast as she could for quite a while now. It was difficult for her to start any sort of fighting, with so many chasing after her. She was almost ready to cry out, afraid to be caught by the giant plants, known as Little Nepents, afraid to be killed by them.

I don't think a glitch exploit, but it is called an outside system skill. It was in the beta, and if it were a glitch, it would of been removed (at least from my understanding it was in beta)

Anyway, I've recalled the characters usually calling out switch when they jump in front, so ... yeah ....

Edit:
Don't actually feel like posting right now, on the tired side of things, so I probably won't tonight
Will post tomorrow.
