Sanctuary CLOSED

Made an IC post for Yolo Of Londor. Hopefully it'll elaborate a bit on who he is as a character, where his interests and focuses and thoughts are. Simple stuff along those lines. It also might show a bit regarding his ability to stab things.

Sanctuary CLOSED

Yolo Of Londor

Elsewhere On DOOM...

---

The gesture he made to execute the fatal strike was simple. Downward arc, two hands. His haptic suit bit tight against his flesh with the movement, as the competition’s armor hung over his Hollow form. It made him anxious to be without his own armaments.

Whichever fool he had just executed groaned as the, “YOU DIED,” effect played against their visor. Yolo Of Londor ignored himself, his anxiety, the way the armor weighed heavy on his shoulders and arms. He was Hollow and needed to remember that. The other world was insignificant and false. Illusory. His goal now was to slay.

Metal scraped against metal, people screamed. There was a rather dense cluster of three clans and a half dozen singletons, the clanless, fighting in close proximity. It was a small ridge with a cliff to the West. The steep drop lead directly to a magma flow. To the East was a completely vertical upward climb. Every dozen or so square feet was a cluster of fighters. Clans were more or less roughly organized and focusing on each other, while the clanless singletons were picking at whomever they wished while fighting their hardest to avoid quick counter attacks.

Footwork was important, and he kept that in mind as he moved across the uneven terrain. Carefully and with a certain amount of experience, he placed his right foot forward and left foot back. It gave away his background in fencing to those that cared to watch the subtleties. The way he swayed showed a breach of his training, though. He was searching for a roll. A gentle opportunity just large enough for him to slip through and gut the similarly dressed PvPer in front of him.

Yolo’s opportunity came when his foe, an Ork, lunged forward and swung clumsily with its katana. His gut instinct was to roll directly into it and follow up with a front dodge attack, but this wasn’t a Dark Souls zone. No immunity frames on dodge roll. When he realized where his mistake was, he was half bent over and waiting for the strike to come down onto him.

He didn’t let it. Instead, he turned his hands upwards and backpedaled. His own blade knocked the Ork’s out of the way, leaving him open. Yolo leaned back in, extending forward with force enough to knock the larger avatar back. The armor in the chest and the weakness of the blade’s stabbing ability didn’t yield him any major success in the strike.

The movements had been messy, and left him open across the back. To ensure the opportunity wasn’t capitalized on, the Hollow stepped forward again into the Ork and swung his blade down across the Ork’s main hand wrist.

The resulting stunned stare gave Yolo time to strike the deathblow across the Ork’s neck.

The simulated blood and viscera misted out into the air and speckled over Yolo’s back and armor as the Ork’s form slumped down and then vanished. Hit points remaining, zero.

Excellent.

With the minimum number of kills needed to get him through to the next round, Yolo was quite content. Carefully, he slinked towards the cliff on his right. Most others were caught up in a fight, giving him plenty of time for to begin the climb. Below him, several noticed.

They began to produce their bows from their inventories and send arrows up the ridge, while the more enterprising individuals took out the archers in melee range for the easy kills. By the time he had scaled the cliff, Yolo had acquired a half dozen arrows in his back and legs.

His health was lower than he’d prefer, but he had done his job. It was an easy enough feat now to shuffle forward and find a small alcove betwixt two rocks. Step one was the removal of the four arrows in his lower legs, and step two from his hideaway was to remove the arrow stuck below his ribs and the arrow embedded in the armoring of his back.

The disadvantage he was at was significant enough to encourage him to remain still and hidden between the two rocks he had found near the cliff. With that plan in mind, he couldn’t help but be relieved. Soon enough he’d win the competition, alone, and get back into his own gear. Perhaps invade in Blighttown once this is all over as a way of blowing off steam.

Yolo pulled his bow out of his inventory and set it on his lap so that he could set his sword just to his side. Once it was out of the immediate way, he held his bow at the ready in case he had to get a pre-emptive strike against anyone with a similar plan to hide away in a hole.

His mind drifted, however. The haptic suit was pinching at his wounds and it was beginning to ache. He needed a break. To stand and stretch and get some water. Check on his brother... The tournament was running long... Time to find a partner and do an Ornstein and Smough cossplay run of the series...

So sat he. His time for victory would come.

Significant quest(s)/General Information:
Yolo Of Londor is a not often talked about Dark Souls die-hard. His time in Sanctuary is generally spent perfecting Dark Souls runs, with the occasional break to pursue other games of a similar grim-dark style. His obsession with Dark Souls resulted in his current of twenty-three avatars.

The time he spends away from Lordran are spent in PvP zones like planet DOOM, murdering others and ruining their well-lain plans. He sees this as a necessary challenge and threat to his existence, as much of Lordran has become, as he says it, “His bitch.”

His normal kit has a greater focus towards the use of heavy weaponry and dark sorceries, but his swordsmanship and knowledge of the general tools that DOOM’s roulette style tournament has provided him with the skill to make it far on his own.

His preference towards working alone has made him more than a little infamous in clan circles due to the fact that his higher levels of skill has made him quite the ideal catch.

As far as fame-making quests in the specific, his single-handed destruction of a powerful Dark Souls covenant-themed guild spread his name around quite a bit as a willing and active player-killer.

Alrighty. Decided the other concept was loose and unfocused and decided to go with something a bit more put together. This first hider is for artifacts, the second hider is for Yolo Of Londor himself.

@Parzivol You get ONE Unique artifact to start with, you can get more later.

You get ONE Companion artifact.

You get 10,000 cash period.

Your vehicle must not be able to fly.

I explicitly said to leave the artifacts blank in your cs until they are approved.

At this time I will not approve or consider anything until the problems are fixed.

@Burning Kitty

Okedoke, easy fixes. Will tend to them here in a while. Lost track of some of the nuance in the rules because of a long writing process.

Failure. WIP.

@Burning Kitty

Excellent. I'll get to work.

@Burning Kitty
I have interest in participating if you'll take me, but I also have a bunch of questions before getting into things like character writing:

Based on the information on the Artifacts spreadsheet it looks like you're using the word Artifact as just a different way of referring to derivative gear from another series and not in the Ready-Player-One sense where artifacts are unique items with no replications. Is this true?

Is this using the Ready-Player-One sectioning system in any way? Will at any point a character's Sci-Fi gear be nullified by entering a Fantasy zone or a character's spells be nullified by entering a Sci-Fi zone? Stuff like that?

The context of the contest seems interesting, but the roleplay seems to have initiated with Specters Of The Apocalypse already established. Would a non-clanned character being introduced by myself throw things too far out of whack or would that be valid? This seems largely to be a character driven roleplay and introducing a not-entirely-hostile character into the competition setting might get some good content.

Another Zombie Apocalypse

Interested.

Parzivol's Non-Romance 1x1 Catalogue

None of these roleplays will be used for romance or sex. I don’t jive with those concepts and prefer another set. If romance of two characters happens naturally or in a manner that makes sense then I have no problem with that being explored quietly and secondary to the primary goals of the characters. I will personally be using this for adventure, conflict, antagonist design, and for how to interact with another writer within a larger slightly more planned narrative. I don’t have much interest in a Modern 1 by 1 roleplay, but if you think you’ve found a good idea, let me know.

  • A veteran Penitus Oculatus agent (You) is sent to track down the Dragonborn (Me), which has gone rogue. Rumors surround the target, but several dozen murders in Whiterun City have made the once heroic figure a high priority target for the Empire and the local population alike. More information will be provided at the Skyrim Penitus Oculatus branch’s headquarters.
  • Two young Khajit (Us) siblings are tracking a strange looking animal spotted north of Kvatch. With their father working through the Shakes again and their mother cleaning double this month to help keep the family afloat, the pair are left to their own devices. Chasing animals to bring home for dinner is a common pass time. Even if it’s just a mudcrab or a giant rat, it can help. And family is important.
• Political Intrigue/Social Scenario
  
  • Two students of the College Of Whispers (Us) are attacked by an Iron Atronach in the middle of the Elven Gardens District, and are immediately roped into a minor conspiracy. With little more than informal magic experience they’re thrust into something beyond even them.
  • A dragon (You) following Paarthurnax’s Way Of The Voice terrifies an Argonian (Me) boy fishing near Lilmoth, and the two strike up a conversation while the boy waits for an inevitable rescue at the hands of the local guards and his father.
