Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP

I just had to work out some phrasing.

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP

• Name: Paladin Tyaethe Radistirin, First and Youngest of the Knights.
• Age: 238
• Gender: Female
• Race: Human (Vampire)
• Appearance:
  
  Armoured

  Standing over six feet tall, it definitely doesn't match her height out of armour...
  With sword:
  
  A better look at the armour:
  
  
  
  Default

  134cm/4' 4 3/4".
  
  
  
  Fancy

  She's still not 5' tall, barely, but at least she's adult.
  
• Personality: The opinion of those who only have to interact with the Iron Roses in their capacity as knights is that Tyaethe is a serious, no-nonsense veteran. This is completely true provided that she's acting in her capacity as a knight of the church, off rescuing people or doing simple military work--she's quite serious, if prone to taking the aggressive and faster option. When there's a real fight on hand or something strong to oppose, she gets more hot-headed... and in general is quite prone to an "ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK" mentality, prone to forgetting that most people do not share her ability to disregard physical injury.
  Off the battlefield, outside of religious matters she's quite lazy. There's no equipment for her to upkeep, no physical exercise to keep in shape, no family matters to attend to, and even the captain only needs so much assistance in a day. It leaves her plenty of time for either emulating a cat and finding somewhere inconvenient but comfortable to nap, or playing tricks and teasing other members of the Iron Roses. Or helping them as the case may be. At times, the vampire can actually seem her age, bored of the repetitiveness of time and duty--but still obliged to be here.
  Unless she respects you, making fun of her height or age is quite a way to set her off.
• Brief Backstory: Coming from a minor noble family, Tyaethe was always expected to carry on her family's duty as knights of the crown. Yet due to favours owed by a highly influential and religious duke to her father, the standard of education that the girl received was much higher than her family would have expected--until the duke's own outspoken nature and the cause of the original favour came back. Having made enemies with a vampire of some age, and defied death once before, they came back for vengeance during a feast. Perhaps the vampire recognised Tyaethe as the child of one of its enemies and wanted to make a more ironic point, or maybe they just didn't want to kill a child in training--but of the attack, she was the only survivor, and quite confused at that.
  With her teacher dead, but his influence still felt, the girl went to the church and pledged herself to training as a paladin and to become a knight in Mayon's service--with no idea of what she had been afflicted with. When this became apparent, it was already too late to back out... despite Reon's virulent hatred for vampires in particular, Mayon had no such compulsion against intelligent but unwitting undead and showed no signs of displeasure. So, even though the church would normally have resisted accepting the undead into their ranks, Tyaethe completed her training as best as possible despite the lack of ageing and became a paladin.
  Hot-headed and somewhat hard to work with, Tyaethe spent most of her time as a crusading knight-errant and working on her magical abilities--not wanting to go to yet another social function made doubly awkward by her apparent age, or snap at another companion for bringing attention to the fact. Her tendency for long trips away from most paladins helped with forgetting what she was, and Tyaethe developed a reasonably good reputation for her abilities.
  Which is about when Elionne prevented the assassination of Falthir and impressed the older paladin so much that she was the first to swear her service--before the Iron Roses had even been founded--and was something of a teacher. This, combined with her apparent age, is the source of the "First and Youngest" title... which she still hates hearing. Unfortunately, it's open knowledge, along with her condition, leaving Tyaethe with a very strange reputation.
  When Elionne disappeared, the vampire didn't know more than anyone else, though she certainly took the news hard. In the end, Tyaethe stuck with the knights, though she's become touchier about her apparent age over time, and has a tendency to act as a stumbling block to changing tradition. Occasionally, nobles looking to advance their control over the knights have been dismayed to learn that the circumstances of Tyaethe's original vow to join the knights more or less require Elionne to be the one to make her leave or be proved dead.
• Equipment: The only piece of "real" equipment that Tyaethe possesses is her sword--a blessed blade enchanted to have no weight to the wielder, so that even someone in her situation can wield it without any difficulty, and as resilient to damage as it could be made. Everything else, aside from her scarfs, is nothing more than a magical construct created as needed.
  Though it isn't really equipment, she also has two hundred years of accumulated money left over for whatever might need the investment--not a bad amount.
• Skills: As one would expect of the most experienced knight in the order, Tyaethe's greatest asset is her swordsmanship, despite the link between vampirism and magical power. She takes pride in achieving victory through nothing more than the mundane application of skill, now honed over entire lifetimes, and insists that using some magic isn't an advantage, merely balancing out her own disadvantages. Some people have disagreed with this. Whatever their opinion on magically assisted swordsmanship, her skill is sufficient that she only gets excited when prodigies join the knights and provide some decent competition until they leave or age catches up.
  The link between vampirism and magical power is no joke, of course, and even with her preference for melee combat, Tyaethe isn't foolish enough to ignore it--or rather, how it can help with her preferred approach to combat. Her speciality is in illusions upon herself, enhanced and improved so far that they cross the realm into proper shapeshifting and conjuration through sheer expenditure of mana. This includes making herself appear "simply" as she would were she an adult, or the tall, armoured knight--and generating the armour in the process. It protects as any armour of its appearance would suggest, but the amount of magic flowing through it actually makes it even better at defending against magical assault.
  Unlike more restrictive approaches to shapeshifting, or mere illusions, the transformations require conscious upkeep--were she to stay awake long enough, even a magical reservoir like Tyaethe would run dry. They also, of course, dissipate if she falls asleep or is somehow knocked unconscious.
  Though the magical power is a requirement to even be a vampire, it's something that provides certain uses by default. For one, any injury will rapidly regenerate, and lethal damage is a study in overkill. She can also enhance her abilities beyond their physical limits (of considerable use given her actual physique), albeit that is even less efficient than her illusions are--but good for unexpected short bursts of power.
  Finally, as expected: vampires can see in the dark. This would be a quite troublesome ability to not possess, even if it leads to weirdly glowing eyes.
• Other: Yes, drinking blood is required. Yes, the sun is dangerous. It isn't quite lethal, though: Reon hates vampires but she's aware it's not a choice.

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Fantasy Knight RP Potential Reboot

Reboot or don't reboot, I'm still in it.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

If Hanako wasn't so habitually pale already, it would have been easier to see how pale she'd gotten. The gods were furious at her? But she'd been trying to do her best so much... and if they were against her in the hex night then she was doomed; the little girls would come back and defeat her so soundly that her arms would probably fall off or something...

But... but... she couldn't go buy any sweets! She barely had any money as it was, and she couldn't use that on something as trivial as sweets. "B-B-But I don't... I c-can't..."

Sir Tyaethe Radistirin

On the outside of the tower, there was absolutely nothing that she could do to retort to the orc comments, or the praising of their actions--not, least of all, without singling herself out for some sort of punishment. Though it turned out there was no need for the paladin to worry about any of that... the witch was more invested in bringing down the tower. By crushing it with thorny vines.

Not wanting to be crushed by the rapidly growing vines, Tyaethe did the first thing that came to mind when she noticed them: grab it. Perhaps being on the outside of the tower was a good thing. After all, this did something the witch probably hadn't been expecting to happen: bring one of the knights to the top without their needing to climb up the inside of a crumbling tower.

One who immediately thought the best way to finish the spell was to tackle her off the edge.

Fate/Eternum

Alkyrieaze von Einzbern

"Hey, useless Master, aren't you going to rein in this Berserker? Use a Command Seal, or at least try to. If he shoots you, Altera can cut him down. You might make it to a hospital," the Einzbern said, sounding rather cheerful about the entire endeavour, even with the threat of major harm, "Now, Altera, we're not leaving until you get another crepe, so try not to break the scenery."

The warlord nodded. Two objectives: destroy the Berserker if he went for his own Master or leave with a dessert. Against a sane opponent this would need no fighting and they would just wait until the dessert was made and the roadblock left of its own accord. This was not a sane opponent and no doubt there would be fighting if there was any delay. Something she was made to do.

"You heard my Master. We cannot leave yet."

"Well, at the risk of pointing out the obvious..." Charlotte said, leaning over the pedestal and looking down the hole, "Either something goes in here or something comes out and it'll probably be involved in opening those other doors. If you have anything long and thin you want to shove into some tight holes, now's the time."

She paused, mostly to see if anyone was going to laugh or groan, then kept going, "Anyway, I'm no art expert, so I'd say keep looking further in."

Fate/Eternum

At the Arena

The look Laetitia gave her Servant was rather unamused, "You've already submitted yourself. They need to make them for at least five knights over the course of the day if Bedivere or Kay or someone doesn't climb out from behind a table and the fights already planned go ahead."

The blonde pointed at the clearly frazzled worker, "Don't you think that guy would have a better time if we could please go and get some breakfast and wait until the afternoon!?"

Lancelot was once again feeling awkward--with Gawain and Gareth there, what could he say. "I'm sorry I killed you/your sister, but it was for a good reason?" Tristan was being his usual sad self, though it was safe to say that he, too, was taking a jab at Gawain's rather disappointing underperformance yesterday. But, yes, perhaps Mordred had a point...

"Mordred, there no need to be so harsh on Sir Gawain. I'm sure that in future matches the handicap of the sun setting will be removed and he won't let us down again."

"I have a feeling that maybe I should be less confident about that..."

And Gareth didn't seem to hate him, or was a much better liar than Lancelot had ever given her credit for. Excellent.

Alkyrieaze von Einzbern

"Samurai man, you should be more careful with your Master... oh, and another crepe," Alkyrieaze said, turning to face the Japanese man that her Servant had... unexpectedly assailed, and then back to the alarmed stall owner. She even took a bite of hers; with Altera in the way, it had to be perfectly safe. A gun...? Archer? No, not if he was thinking a German child and... well... Altera were Japanese. Definitely Berserker or similarly addled.

With her sword readied and once again interposed between Alkyrieaze and Hijikata, Altera held back on obliterating this man... for the moment. The homunculus was quite insistent on restraint. "Altera, King of the Xiongnu. I will not allow you to take one step closer."
