Awakening of the Dragon Champions

"Well, I lost the light. But the Dark is always fun, isn't it?" Appearance (Normal): Name: Alto Ganze Age: 16 Height: 5’ 9” Personality: Alto is always smiling. For whatever reason he always seems to be smiling even when being reprimanded for not paying attention in class. This is mainly because he’s always thinking of things that he considers to be funny, and pretty much never pays attention in class. He has however apparently developed an incredible ability to cram last minute study and homework. He almost always passes his tests and still somehow gets all homework completed even though he really doesn’t look like he’s listening in class at all. People always say he’s kind of a joker but he always seems to be distant and doesn’t really attempt to make friends or even talk all that often to his classmates. He often seems to randomly disappear during break times and reappear unexpectedly. History: There is not much known at all about Alto’s history. Any time someone would ask, he would tell them something different but believable until he got to the ridiculous part of it. Once he said that his parents died in a car accident. As they were crashing into a UFO that is. As a result of this, many people stopped trying to find out, but there is still the occasional person that thinks they can wring out a true story from out of his mountain of ridiculous stories. He actually did quite well in earlier years of schooling. He was noted as being a very hard-working person and a very friendly and positive person. He got into Pantheon College by earning a scholarship but for whatever reason, his attitude changed into what people find now. Appearance(Champion): [hider=Appearance] [img= http://i.imgur.com/dVzhHmP.png] But he doesn’t have the staff or the beard. The hood also constantly emits a misty shadow, but only enough to cover his face.[/hider] Dragon Name: Nuul Dragon Awakening Level: Awakened Dragon Abilities: • Shadow Bolt (Active): Alto emits a fast bolt of shadow energy that strikes the target for moderate damage from his book. 5-10 Dark Damage, 10 mana cost. • Dark Infusion (Passive): Alto’s very being is infused with the power of Darkness, and it augments his powers in many ways, but weakens his body slightly. +10 Maximum mana per level, -5 Health per level, +10 mana per kill if the enemy dies from dark damage Main Item: [img=http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=39808960] Alto’s main item and weapon of choice is what he refers to as his magic book. It is actually much larger than a normal book, being 1 and a half feet high, 1 foot wide and about 10 centimetres thick. He uses it to cast his abilities and since all dragon items are indestructible, he also uses it to bludgeon people if they get too close. It does 1-5 Blunt damage as well as 1-5 Dark damage. It has a Stun 1 effect if aimed at the head. Health Pool: 45 Mana Pool: 110

Awakening of the Dragon Champions

Awakening of the Dragon Champions, currently not accepting

History:

This is long

In a time long past, there used to be 7 gods. Each of the gods had power over all, but 6 of them found that their ideas always clashed with each other. Every time they decided to do something, there was rarely a time when they could agree with each other.

Most of their meetings settled into fights with an agreement becoming impossible. The earth was still developing, but since none of the gods could make an agreement, the 7th god decided to step in. He gave each god their favourite domain to rule over.

The domains were: the earth, the sky, the waters, fire and heat, light and darkness. Since he had a higher authority, he decreed that no god can attack another directly, and they cannot use their powers in another god’s domain. The eight were relatively happy when creating and developing their respective domains. Each developed on their own, and each god ended up being shaped by their domains and their creations.

All was well until their creations became too numerous. Each god, with disregard to the others, made enough creations to fill each and all of their domains, and then more still. Each of them became angry at each other, thinking it was their right to expand as they wished. After things came to a head, each god decided that conquest was their only option if they wished to obtain the domains that they wanted.

To destroy each other utterly because they couldn’t themselves, they amassed their creations and sought to conquer each other’s domains and kill the other gods. Thus started the war of the gods. Each and every creature was primed for battle and pitted against the creations of the other gods. However, the forces were completely equal and the war ended in a global stalemate.

The stalemate persisted for many years, and the gods grew tired of the constant combat. But, unbeknownst to each other, each god had the same flash of inspiration. If their regular creations were creating a stalemate, why not create an all-powerful beast to destroy the stalemate once and for all? Unbeknownst to each, they each bent all of their power to create their ultimate weapon; the Dragons.

The Dragons embodied all of the power of the god itself. Each god spent all of their power on the dragons, imbuing them might of the gods in a vessel that could kill one. They sent their creations, expecting a swift and sure victory. However, at the central battlefield, a seaside, stormy, mountain peak at the very tip of the world, the dragons met and the gods knew that they had failed again.

They could feel each dragon’s terrific power, held at bay only by the confusion of the gods themselves. Each dragon had the same immense power another had, and now 6 met to combat each other and destroy everything in their path.

Though the gods knew a battle with the dragons would end in unparalleled destruction, they still set the dragons against each other. The dragons fought for a long time, wreaking havoc left and right. In the end, their battle destroyed much of the world as well as the dragons themselves. After the dragons had finished and the world was largely desolate.

After the disasters the war of the gods wrought, the 7th decided that the gods needed a way to settle this stalemate without using large scale warfare again. He decided to settle the dispute by choosing 1 champion for each god and having them fight where the borders of the domains of the gods met, the last battlefield of the dragons, and the tip of the world.

The match was set to be at a much later date so humanity would have time to rebuild. The gods now wait for the fated day to come. But unbeknownst to every other god, each god infused their dragon’s soul and powers to reincarnate into what would later become their champions. Now in the modern era, the dragons have awakened and the trials of the champions have begun.

Setting:
The story is set in a modern boarding school named Pantheon College, with the champions of the gods awakening their dragons in a dream. The dream occurs the night before a new school year starts, and it is up to you what the nature of the dream is. Each player will thereafter be able to talk to their dragons as if talking to themselves. Each champion is a student or staff member of the school and they do not know who the other champions are.

The first day of IC is the first day of the new school year. So we all gotta attend the Principal's speech and stuff.

The school was built right on the border of the gods’ territories unbeknownst to the rest of the world. After the awakening, monsters begin to appear late at night when no one but the champions are in the school. The champion will have to fight and defeat them or else they’ll stick around and harass you all day probably.

The monsters are sent after the champions by the gods because the school is in fact under their Jurisdiction as it infringes on all of their territories. They cannot however attack a champion directly as the 7th God decreed that they cannot directly manipulate each other’s champions and they cannot directly change the School. Instead they just send creatures at you so it’s all G.

There are 6 dragons in total. They are:
• Taurrin – Earth, Balthazar
• Aurious – Air, BrobbyDDark
• Nayru – Water, Hylianhero
• Dienze – Fire, Twistedgrin
• Luxius – Light, Raijinslayer
• Nuul – Darkness, RoflsMazoy

Character Sheet Explained:

CS explained

• Personality is where you state your personality, some of your tendencies and your general attitude to school and other people in general. The attitude you take towards school will matter because I want to know how well you study and stuff for tests and exams which will actually affect the RP.

• History is where you state your backstory and also your past record in school so I can do stuff like extra-curricular activities and how you should be doing in tests and stuff.

• Appearance (champion) is what you look like while in your champion form. Out of champion form, you can still use your dragon powers but most passives are not active. The appearance should at least attempt to conceal your identity because you don’t want other people finding out about your secret identity! In character anyway.

• Dragon Awakening Level is the level at which your awakened dragon’s powers are. Each champion starts on Awakened with the level getting higher depending on the monster kills you get. After killing a certain amount of cannon fodder, a big-ass boss might pop-up to kill and if you do you upgrade to the next level.

• Dragon abilities are pretty self-explanatory. At the Awakening level, you get to choose 1 passive and 1 active ability. In addition, each champion gets two passives which I will specify later, that don’t add up to the ability total. When your powers evolve, you get another ability and you upgrade your old ones in some way. There are only so many evolution levels so upgrade those skills wisely.

• The Main Item is the main thing in which your dragon powers manifest themselves. It could really be anything but you’re using it to use most of your powers so pick something cool. You’re also going to be carrying it around all the time so make sure to have some way of hiding it from other champions.

• Health Pool is how much health you’ve got. Each champion starts on 50 max health but it can be affected by passives. As in, passives can raise your max health if you want them to, or lower it if it needs nerfing. You get an extra 10 max health every level and you must keep track of your current health at the end of every combat post. Regaining health will be detailed in Combat.

• Mana Pool is how much mana you’ve got. Each champion starts on 100 max mana and the rest of it is practically the same as the Health Pool except that it goes up by 15 every level.

Combat:

• You will role-play the combat IC. The enemies you fight will be set by me unless I say otherwise.

• Damage is to be done by the random number generator from http://www.random.org/. When dealing damage or taking damage, make sure to tell me in the OOC what hits you’re dealing and what hits you’re taking before you post the combat post so I can get some numbers from the generator. I will not lie for damage unless I really want you to finish someone off or something. If you’re doing something like a hit with extra power, just tell me and I’ll factor it in.

• Make sure to keep track of your health and mana at the end of combat posts, you may get more than one fight per night

• Health is regained at a rate of 10 per hour excluding passives. While sleeping, natural regeneration rates are doubled. This healing is part of the Dragon Spirit passive skill which each champion has and I will detail it in a later section.

• Mana is regenerated at a rate of 20 per hour excluding passives. It does not change while sleeping, however. This is also part of the Dragon Spirit skill.

• Activate skills will consume mana unless it’s reasonable to be otherwise.

• Your passive effects don’t apply out of Champion Form except for the health and mana ones.

• A boss battle will appear when a certain god has had enough of your killing their cannon fodder and sends in something big. You may sometimes fight boss fights with someone else, in that case you need to collaborate. Use Titanpad or something.

Status Effects:

Status effects can be applied to your champion and your enemies. Each status effect has a chance in 5 to apply depending on the skill itself. A Stun 1 effect for example, will have a 1 in 5 chance to stun whereas a Slow 5 effect would have a definite chance to slow people. The status effects themselves are pretty self-explanatory and if you're making one up then explain it and we'll see if its good.

Status resistances reduce your chances of applying a status effect in an inverse fashion. Stun Resistance 1 for example will lower their chances of getting stunned by 1 in 5. Slow resistance 5 will completely eliminate their chances of getting slowed unless you get a Slow 6 or above effect. Your debuff levels can go up to 10 but resistances can only go up to 5.

Base Champion Skills:

• Dragon Spirit: The spirit of the dragon awakens inside of you, granting you the power of Champions. Dragon Spirit is a passive skill that each champion has and cannot be removed or upgraded through evolutions. It passively gives the champion a natural regeneration rate of 10 health per hour and 20 mana per hour. In addition, while the Champion is in Champion Form, their bodily traits become superhuman. Their athletic abilities become double that of a regular Olympic Athlete, their reaction times increase dramatically and they are able to use their chosen passive abilities.

• Divine Intervention: If a Champion is about to die, they can sacrifice the use of an ability for 24 hours to receive an intervention from the 7th God. It is up to the God to decide what form the intervention takes, and this skill can only be used when a Champion is truly about to die. The skill cannot be stopped or disrupted in any way, and can be used by the 7th God without the Champion’s consent if needed.

Rules:
1. Don’t be a dick
2. Don’t be OP
3. Respect the other players
4. Ask if you’re not sure about something
5. Try to make this enjoyable please
6. If you’re going to be inactive, tell me and we can sort something out
7. If you leave for no reason I might give your character to someone else. I already have one person who would be able to do that so be careful.
8. Ask me about major story progressions and plot elements and stuff
9. Respect unspoken rules
10. This list is not exhaustive so there might be other stuff later maybe

Deep Ground Online: War of Strangers

Reiko, Princess Rainbow

Back again

Goodbye, Princess Rainbow.

Reiko woke with a start. She was still reeling slightly, from what she saw. She was also feeling a little disoriented, having used Rainbow Rush so much. She had also left Taro in Deep Ground although she had left him a message telling him to log out in 1 hour after the message was sent and meet her in the library. She said 1 hour because she needed some time to find out about the day’s events.

Browsing the forums, she tried to find out what had happened but it was a little difficult. There were many people like her who were asking what had happened to the Green City. There were many theories flying around as well which didn’t help her any.

Sighing, she leaned back onto her bed. She was a little bit tired but she had an appointment to meet and she couldn’t exactly go to sleep now. She lay in bed, head buzzing with a storm of thoughts. She tried to pin one down, but they refused to comply and as she tried to grasp a coherent thought, she felt her eyelids get heavier and heavier and before she knew it, she was sound asleep.

Keith, Eclipsed Tower + Lucy, Tender Fern - Green King

Collab with Arrayah

Keith slowly opened his eyes.

I’m back. He thought wearily. It was the first time he’d died in a long time. Of course he had deaths, but ever since he had gotten to level 3, his deaths dropped off due to the fact that he had gotten his first disruption ability. You wouldn’t get hit if your enemy couldn’t attack, and his disruptions had carried him through many levels afterwards.

He had only been in trouble when his disruptions weren’t effective and the fight against the Dragon was a good example of that.

In the end he had won, but he hadn’t survived the battle. Even so, he had gained a level and all of the people he fought had died. He had been satisfied with his performance, but he had been left wanting. He had fought and won, but the achievement had been practically for nothing.

It didn’t amount to anything and it made him feel empty again. Like the time he found out that he was truly alone for the first time. It wasn’t like Deep Ground filled anything in particular. It was more like he felt his emptiness more acutely when he realized that his efforts essentially came to naught.

He had learnt not to dwell on it, and eventually he had come to forget about it. But once you start thinking about something you know you were supposed to forget, it’s difficult to stop yourself.

I should study some more. He thought to himself.

Studying was a good distraction, it required him to focus on what he was doing. He did it often enough, he always distracted himself with work, regardless of whatever class he was in.

I already have enough for the rest of the week. He noted, looking around the stacks of books and paper piled on top of his desk. Well, there’s always next week.

He picked up a few exercise books and text books from his table. He opened his door, intending to head to the library to study, before promptly running straight into a hurried student.

He'd come out of nowhere. There was no way Lucy could have predicted some boy just opening his door and walking straight into her path, and as such, she could not stop herself in time. Instead, they'd collided and though she was the one that found herself falling hard on her behind, Lucy was still the one that ended up aplogizing.

"I'm sorry!" She looked up and exclaimed, finally getting a good look at him. The boy looked younger than her, not in her class, and she didn't recognize him, but Lucy saw something that intrigued her. He had two different colored eyes.

"I should have seen you coming. You're okay, right?" She asked while she began to try standing up.

"Yes, I am alright." He said, extending a hand to help the unfortunate girl up. "But I am curious as to why you're in such a hurry." He also noted that she was wearing some rather unusualy clothing for this time of day. "Do you have somewhere you need to be?"

Lucy took the hand grateful for his help and pulled herself up. She was quiet as she spent a few moments brushing herself off and trying to think of how to respond to the boy. The truth was that she wasn't really sure why she'd been rushing down the hall. There wasn't anywhere she needed to be really, but she wanted to check on her guild members. That was a reason, she supposed.

Her voice was quieter this time when she spoke, a little nervous. It had been a month since the King's were murdered and all tha time she'd kept her identity a secret, not even disclosing what guild she belonged to. But, Lucy had made a decision, and she was sticking to it.

"I need to check on my Rangers." Her use of my instead of the other along with her clothing made it clear just who she was, or at least she hoped.

He stared at her for a few seconds. The Green King? He thought. The Green King, who had recently lost almost all that she had worked for in the recent battle, previously unknown, and now making a statement of herself? There must have been a reason for it, one big enough to warrant exposure of her identity. Or perhaps, she was just that kind of person.

Thinking about it on his own wasn't going to help much, he decided to just ask.

"If you truly are who I think you may be, do you really think its such a good idea to reveal yourself like this?" He asked cautiously.

A sigh escaped Lucy's lips as she shook her head. "No. I don't, but what else can I do? They took everything, destroyed everything. All that I have left are my guild and its members, and this is something I can do for them. If I let everyone know who I am, if I show them that I'm still around and I'm proud to lead the Rangers, then perhaps they'll realize that we're stronger than they think."

For a moment, she thought quietly, and then added. "We're low in numbers, but we're a family. I would do anything for them, including risk myself, if it meant that more people might join, or take us seriously despite what we lost today."

And then she looked at him, asking a question of her own. "Do you think I'm crazy for doing it?"

He thought for a moment. Some people would say that her actions were the height of madness, that no King under any circumstances should reveal themselves especially considering the recent deaths. But people say a lot of things, and he stopped caring about people a long time ago.

"I'm not the right person to ask for this kind of thing." He said finally. "I stopped caring about the opinions of others a long time ago," he continued, "But if you truly are willing to risk yourself for the sake of your guild, then I think you should just do what you need to do. The rest, whatever it may be, will follow in your wake."

His words caused her to smile even though Lucy wasn't sure why. They weren't really very encouraging, but she liked them nonetheless. "You're right. Thanks."

Here, she held out a hand to him, and finally introduced herself. "My name's Lucy Hall. I don't think we've met before."

"My name is Keith Knight." He said, grasping her outstretched hand. "Good luck, with whatever you may do." Shaking it firmly, he let go of her hand and walked off to go find the library.

Keith. She'd have to remember that name, she thought. As he left, so did she, once again rushing off to see her guild members. His words had helped her even if he hadn't really intended them to. They'd let her see that if it was necessary, she needed to do it, regardless of what others would think or how it would affect herself.

Lucy was just thinking about what she would tell the Rangers when she ran into yet another student. This one she knew, as he was in her class. Sten.

Hmm Dissolutions are very weird. This might seem like a silly question, but I assume there would be a "newbie area" where they can actually level up right?Also, the front page says "IC, players will level up after earning victory in three battles, hunting down two Dissolutions, or completing four missions." would the two npc level 2's I surprised in my previous post count towards the leveling up? Or does this battle need to be against another IC character?

We don't really know because we're not really stringent on this kind of thing

I would assume it was the three battles, two dissolutions or four missions for stuff that's around your level

I just killed enough stuff until it felt like a good time to level up
