@Dark Light@Xandrya Oh, wait. If Arex is going to Amy, it is highly likely that Lataniva will tag along unless somehow convinced to do otherwise, and that'd bring her into contact with Amy, meaning it might influence the thoughts that brought me to make the mention of her intention of doing that later the same day. Meaning, depending on what happens in such a conversation, Lataniva might revise her such intention. Xandrya, you might want to postpone any intention to reply to that part until we know what's happening. Just know I'm intending on doing it eventually, possibly, if nothing changes it. ... Haha.
I… REALLY don’t have the time to join another roleplay. But this character creation process looked way too fun to just pass over. So, to entertain myself tonight, I went through with it because I wanted to. Hahaha.
To begin with, STR: 4, AGI: 4, VIT: 4, MAG: 4, LCK: 4
Special note, I am not going to name anything yet, because I want to know my girl’s story before I make such decisions. And before I determine her story, I need to determine who she is through going through this. Now, then.
Made a contract! - I may choose uniform and fifth perk. I have a special reason for this.
I am given 1 Gold, 3 Silver and 4 Bronze. Okay.
Rolls 11 on age. 7 years old. Whoops. Oh, well.
Rolls 2 on body. Underdeveloped body. +1 LCK or MAG. OK. Makes sense. I’m going to do MAG, sorry LCK. MAG: 5
Now, then. I want to spend my Gold coin to get a second power. But, otherwise, I wanna become a powerful magician. I have 3 silver and 4 bronze, a total of 10 stat points to distribute. Let’s do this.
Two Silver and a Bronze on MAG, bringing it up to 10. A Silver and a Bronze on AGI, bringing it up to 7. Remaining two Bronze on VIT, bringing it up to 6. There we go.
STR: 4, AGI: 7, VIT: 6, MAG: 10, LCK: 4
A little dodgey and tough to go along with super magical firepower. Now to hope the rest I roll isn’t strength-based. Specialization!
Rolls 5. Specialization: Reinforcement. Barriers, boosting enhancements and healing. No offense. … Oooookay. +1 STR, +1 AGI, +1 MAG, +1 LCK. +1 VIT out of costume, words of encouragement has strong effect. … Okay. I have high MAG. I’m a bloody healer. XD
STR: 5, AGI: 8, VIT: 7 (4 out of costume), MAG: 11, LCK: 5
Rolls 10. Weapon: Ranged. +1 AGI. Weapons that hit from afar, recommended for deep MAG pools. Well…! :D … Well, I want some form of gun. Preferably a magical gun so I can decide how powerful a shot I want to make and how much mana I want to use and such. Is that possible?
STR: 5, AGI: 9, VIT: 7 (4 out of costume), MAG: 11, LCK: 5
Get to pick my outfit, thanks to Contract. Well… I got a ranged weapon, and kind of want that +1 AGI, but make a 7 year old wear skimpy clothing? … EH! IT’S ANIME! Skimpy! +1 AGI!
STR: 5, AGI: 10, VIT: 7 (4 out of costume), MAG: 11, LCK: 5
Powers. I want two. I still want two. I’m using my gold here.
Rolls 12. Power of Friendship. People magically become my allies and I get magical hints on how to befriend people, people just feel like helping me. … Whelp, doesn’t that go awesomely with my Reinforcement Specialization. … Gosh.
Second power. I used Gold Coin.
Rolls 1. Killing Blow (+1 STR or MAG) (+1 MAG to 12). Super blow that dumps all my power on an enemy. … … … You know, given my Reinforcement Specialization, wouldn’t it make sense that this is a spell which provides all my power to heal and super-reinforce someone else with unimaginable power so they can deal with the threats for me while I collapse? Haha.
Now, then. Perks. First table.
Rolls 15: Monstrous Metamorphosis. … GOOD GOD. I can transform into a monster form linked to my emotional state. I take that back, my Killing Blow is linked to this! … Yeah, I boost myself to a monstrous 7 STR. XD … But 12 AGI and 9 VIT, noted.
Rolls 2: Martial Training. Trained in tactics, logistics and intricacies of a large number of weapons, +1 STR. Huh. I am… surprised. 6 STR, 8 when monster. Hah.
STR: 6, AGI: 10, VIT: 7 (4 out of costume), MAG: 12, LCK: 5 When monster: STR: 8, AGI: 12, VIT: 9.
Second table.
Rolls 4: Training. Gain complete mastery in one subject, martial art, trade skill or philosophy. … … … … Gun-fu. I want to be a master of gun-fu. Yupp.
Rolls 17: Soul Jar. Basically, my body’s just a puppet and I’m a tiny breakable soul har on the side. Body cannot be killed, loss of fine control… Gah. I needed that to aim.
And now, the reason I got the Contract. I want bloody Wings. Combat table, 17. There we go. I have wings.
Now for Rolls 12. Boring. I’m led by a normal Puchuu. Basic set, the Puchuu can call Emergency Reinforcements, I get mental Job Satisfaction for working but I’m Expendable and the puffball is Cagey in what he says. Hah. Well, other than the basic set, I get one benefit. That’s easy. I want a Concerned Puchuu that won’t try to kill me. Hahahaha.
“You may gain an additional benefit for each drawback you take on”. … Well. I’ve already got Monstrous Metamorphosis. Let’s go full Monster Girl. Magical Overload and Monstrous Form.
I have to pick one from each category. But… I really don’t like the Mind mutations. But, I must pick a black one from here to get what I want. … Devourer. I need to eat a ton of meat to not suddenly start eating the meat of people. God help those who keep me from getting my food. … Hahahaha.
Now, for perks. From Bodily Mutations, I want Wings and Thick Skin. Wings give +1 AGI and the Wings perk. Wings perk detail that flying freely with that is difficult unless I somehow get flying again. I got flying again. I can fly freely.
Thick Skin simply gives +3 VIT, +1 STR and -2 AGI. It comes to a total of +3 VIT, +1 STR and -1 AGI with the Wings +1 AGI included.
STR: 7, AGI: 9, VIT: 10 (4 out of costume), MAG: 12, LCK: 5 When going full monster: STR: 9, AGI: 11, VIT: 12, MAG: 12, LCK 5.
Finally, a weakness from Soul Mutations. I pick a Weakness to Ice Magic. With thick, scaly skin and wings I can fly freely with, I’m totally a dragon-girl, after all. XD
I don’t have a limit to how many times I can exchange these, huh? Well. I want Mana Font and Physical Prowess for +1 STR, in exchange for Big Brother and Loud. I’ve got a Loud Puchuu that is Considerate of me but is constantly playing Big Brother and nosing into my personal life. Heh. As if a dragon girl has much of a private life. And of course, Mana Font as more ammunition to my Ranged weapons. Yupp. We’re investing in strength, now, too.
Final stats. STR: 8, AGI: 9, VIT: 10 (4 out of costume), MAG: 12, LCK: 5 When going full monster: STR: 10, AGI: 11, VIT: 12, MAG: 12, LCK 5.
… Hm. I feel like it maybe is a little too easy to make a monster-girl in this. You can just pick “I wanna be a monster girl!”. … … … Oh, well!

I’m a 7 year old monster girl in an underdeveloped body with scaly skin and wings wearing skimpy clothing, who has an ice-weakness and needs to feed on meat to not eat humans. The magic of my soul is Reinforcement, used to create barriers to defend as well as enhance my own body or the bodies of others to further destroy my enemies, as well as potent healing effects as I have pretty good magical capabilities and an extra large amount of Mana through Mana Font. I have the Power of Friendship, making me able to naturally be liked and learn how to make friends, and I also have a Killing Blow which is likely that I enhance myself for an extremely brutal blow.
But, secretly, this dragon-girl body isn’t even my real body. I’m wearing a certain jewel somewhere on my body that is my soul jar, and I’m just controlling this body from it. I have lost fine control because of this, but I can still aim for some reason, maybe? Anyways. Breaking the jewel is the only way to kill me, my other body can be damaged but will never die. I became like this because I made a contract with a Puchuu due to my great potential, great enough to make me a monster girl. My Puchuu is considerate of me, for some reason, but is also quite Loud with his lines taking no steps not to be noticed and also likes to interfere with my personal life like a Big Brother. Yikes, that doesn’t sound like a good combo.
Anyways. I’m normally strong enough to casually pick up a full ½ barrel keg and throw 20 feet, as well as tough enough to shrug off bladed weapons and agile enough to, well, probably hit with my guns and dodge you. I’m, for some reason, highly trained in the arts of tactics, logistics and weaponry and am a highly professional gun-fu artist, and I likely wield a couple guns to battle, which combines well with my flight. If emotionally disturbed I can go Monstrous Metamorphosis into full dragon, with serious boosts to my strength, agility and toughness in exchange for sanity. And let’s not forget that I am a powerful user of Reinforcement magic, nobody falls while I’m on their side with barriers and healing, likely able to block even powerful beams of magic. … Assuming it isn’t ice. Ice is my lethal enemy, my worst weakness, and I feel pain/am drained of power just by being near the cold. Haha.
Final stats. STR: 8, AGI: 9, VIT: 10, MAG: 12, LCK: 5. When going full monster: STR: 10, AGI: 11, VIT: 12, MAG: 12, LCK 5. When normal: 3, 3, VIT: 4, 3, 3? Is luck affected? Hah.
… XD … That was quite a journey. I have been amused. I invested into a magical character, and then I got, well… … … Hahahaha. Yupp. Oh, well. Onto doing other things. My apologies if this was just troubling to you all. Feel free to completely ignore.
So, um. My post looks like it does because of our sudden jumps in time that happen fairly often. I just wanted to do two things, and if I just focused on one I might have missed the other. So, therefore, it looks like this. The two are separate. One where Lataniva heads for Arex, the other where she tries to infiltrate Amy's room. If I am forgetting anything or am doing anything I cannot, feel free to yell at me. I have sensible reasons on my mind. I hope. Anyway. There.
Lataniva narrowed her eyes looking intently at what was taking place before her. There was a grim satisfaction in having driven Arex to leave behind common sense and go for his prey. In this state, it was improper to interfere. As a fellow Dalentian, Lataniva knew that, and in fact, she was taking enjoyment in watching this. Now, she had never felt anything like what she felt from Arex before, but she knew what was happening from a purely Dalentian stand-point. It was time to watch what was happening and take in as much information as she can…
Lataniva’s eyes twitched as the shots echoed from beside her and took out Arex’s prey. Lataniva quickly threw an angry glare at Grayson, mildly backed with a slight psionic force giving her glare a physical presence intent on informing the man that what he did was wrong. She spun her halberd in her right hand and prepared her left for possible use of psionics just in case Arex lashed out at them for this action. … He did not. That was a mild relief. Certainly helped with their priorities of getting out of this station alive. Very well. Lataniva let go of all pressure and then simply kept an eye out on Arex as they headed back to the ship, throwing her psionic powers at any Hunters that stood in their way before they could take her or her companions out. If they were close-combat robots, they’d find trouble assaulting the party as long as Lataniva was there.
Lataniva was present for the celebration. Mostly to note that Arex was not there. She did drink a little, but not much at all. She knew the effect of alcohol on her alien frame was considerable, and they did not want to have a wasted Dalentian on board. The effects would be potentially disastrous. She had learned of this at an earlier time, and she wasn’t about to repeat that embarrassment. Essentially, she was a light-weight, and if there was any individual who made a more dangerous drunk she had yet to learn of them.
Afterwards, she searched with determination for that specific individual. It wasn’t hard. Just let her awareness search the ship ahead of her as she walked to cover a large amount of area, seeking his Sh’kwarr. Her halberd was on strapped onto her back and she had her daggers sheathed, but they were still on her body. She found Arex, and someone had spoken up to him…
‘No. Not you.’
Lataniva said in a commanding, lightly hostile voice to Grayson, sounding as if she believed she had more authority in the matter than him.
‘I will speak to him.’
She said, turning and staring at Arex with an unreadable glare. She then turned to Maxi, who apparently was also here. Oh, that’s right. He was a medic. Lataniva revised her intention to make him leave.
‘... Your help will be needed for his body. While you do that…’
After having said so to Maxi, Lataniva turned to Arex, glaring at him somewhat accusatory yet also quite clearly with something in mind.
‘I intend to perform the Rite of Merger on you.’
Lataniva demanded, staring at him. The “Rite of Merger” was the act of two Dalentians mind-reading each other’s brains to one another, helping one another with slight mind-manipulation to know what information each of them didn’t know. After a good Rite of Merger, both parties shared the exact same knowledge. However, that was when someone performed the Rite of Merger WITH someone. Lataniva had demanded to use it ON Arex, meaning she wanted all his knowledge yet he’d get none of hers. That is, if he even knew anything about what the Rite of Merger was.
She continued to glare at him. She wasn’t intending on doing it without permission, actually. That was against Dalentian rules, engraved into Lataniva’s mind since birth. So, she waited. Glaring.
Perhaps much later (splitting a time-line a bit perhaps because the earlier scene is DEFINITELY not finished), depending on how things goes, Lataniva anyways had the intention of sleeping inside Amy’s room, if she could. This assumes each room has more than one bed and that the door was open, if either of those are untrue, this did not happen. If, however, both those were true then Lataniva would seemingly randomly enter the room, exit the armor (blind girl wouldn’t see her anyway) and then take the unoccupied bed without a word. If Amy didn’t disturb her, then Lataniva would simply sleep there peacefully. If Amy questioned, well, that’ll do for a different post, then.
@Pyromaniacwolf Of course. The intention with alerting you to that is mostly because if you for some reason want a conversation with the NPCs then Martin and Dawkin might be dropping in soon and not likely just walk by them. Haha. Anyways, yeah. You're free to do what you want. It's just an alert~
@Eklispe So, should I assume you're tagging along with Martin to Route 2 or do you want to get a post in or otherwise?
Edit: Heh. Gotcha. Nicely posted.
Edit 2: My apologies that I am taking a while. Things are going to happen tomorrow, and on Friday, and on Saturday... but I will try to ensure that you get a post to react to tomorrow. Waiting for more than that would be terrible.
Huh. And here I thought everyone was heading to certain doom in that bubble.
... I really, really hope Amelie didn't die mainly because I asked the GM to kill her OOC. Because, well, that'll make me look really stupid for causing her death in a moment of depression when that really goes contrary to my wishes. ... Hah.
@Joshua Tamashii The GM apologizes about the potential risk for hearts involved in sudden Phantump jump-scares. Haha. Anyways. Nicely reacted. Nicely posted. Teh-heh.
@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. And... ain't that an excellent question? XD It'll be answered soon enough! Haha.
@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye I am digging this conversation. We're getting somewhere. Safety in numbers, and chasing our intentions. So, you're moving to Route 2, eh? Yeah, that'll do it. Tah-hah. Nicely posted.
@Pyromaniacwolf So, Martin and Dawkin are kind of moving in a direction that could make them relevant to you pretty soon. Will you act?
‘If you had kept him alive, we could have had a commander for me to mind-read. It’s a bit of a waste.’
Lataniva complained somewhat as she wandered back to Grayson while cleaning off the blood from her halberds and daggers. Still, it wasn’t all that much she could do about it.
She’d then simply say about the orders they had, and without sparing a look at Amy, Lataniva dashed off. She used her heightened awareness, and knowing she was looking for Arex… she simply tried to find a track of the unique way she could sense him. She’d search without eyes if needed.
She rounded a specific corner, and ended up looking at this scene. Arex, heavily wounded, arms in a mess and facing against this drone. Hunter droid, was it? How serious of their enemies. But, that didn’t matter. What did matter… Lataniva stared at Arex. There was a certain part of her that told her to save him… yet another, saw him getting ready to take on his foe. A hunter and his prey. Strong, perhaps deadly prey, but prey nonetheless. A hunter’s pride told to not take the joy of the kill from another hunter.
… That said, he was pathetic. Lataniva crossed her arms, glaring at him condescendingly from behind and lightly twirled with her halberd in one hand, as if telling him to hurry it up. In the back of his mind he most certainly felt her Sh’kwarr pushing him on behind, making him aware she was there, and that she had come to pick him up so he better not screw this up. Lataniva kept her distance, but if it was obvious he was going to be killed anywhere she’d just casually direct a psionic telekinetic hit at the foe to ensure Arex didn’t die, it’d be so troublesome if he did, but otherwise, she quite intended to see him get out of this on his own.
He had run off on his own, after all. This was HIS problem to get stuck in and get out of. Not hers. He had the tools to get out of this.
‘You are Dalentian, after all.’
She stated, following up on her thoughts.
‘Are you not?’
She followed up on that, with a clear edge in her voice, glaring at his back…
