I just can't. This is too much. Berserk was so influential on so many things that I love. Goodbye, Miura. You'll be missed by many.

Bio
Hello! Welcome to my little bio.
Not much to say, really. Just a horror game protag that likes writing and playing vidya games when I'm not being chased by the cosmic forces of darkness. (I'm a security guard that works night shifts usually).
Cynthia led Fia and Ritsa to the kitchens, where Mugi was still filling out her class forms. In typical fashion, the maid took the fish from them with her normally neutral expression and laid it upon the kitchen counter.
"Do make yourselves comfortable. I will prepare something with the fish for everyone." The did have a number of other fish in storage, and they actually hadn't had seafood in awhile so it'd be a nice change of pace, wouldn't it? Before getting to work though, the maid cast a quick glance over to Mugi to see if she needed any more help, only to notice Ritsa having walked over to the Yuki Onna and stare up at her with a quizzical glance.
"Hey hey, what's your name?"
~Sorcha~
Sorcha walked over, giving the kitten a small pat on the head.
"Now now, don't make such a face!" Sorcha laughed. "Come now, both of you. I'll treat you both to lunch and we can spend the rest of the day relaxing after a friendly little sparring match." The dragon picked her glaive up from the ground, resting it on her shoulders before turning her head back towards Luna. "Unless you'd rather do something else, Luna darling." The dragon smirked, quite implying something else with that.
Unlike the rest of the guildhall, Senna tried to keep her mind off the fighting. On one hand, she wanted nothing to do with it. On the other, the intoxicating sound of battle was getting to her. Clashing of swords, smell of blood...it was intoxicating. She couldn't actually remember feeling like this before, at all. So she downed the last of the alcohol she could get her hands on, ignoring Selena's asking for help. The others had it, and she might get a tad bit...unfocused if she joined in now.
She had never felt like this before, why? It was a euphoric feeling, really. Something she wanted more of but that would be a bad idea in every sense of the word.
It was then that something rather expected happened. The guildhall creaked, its foundations not withstanding the damage dealt to it during the fight. It was crashing down around them rather fast. With reflexes that would make a cat jealous, Senna pounced on Selena, tackling her out of the way of the floating beholder. She landed easily on her feet just on the opposite side of the human, quickly pulling her to her feet.
"Probably should get outta here." Having just enough time to collect her sword, Senna bolted out of the quickly crumbling guildhall.
"A-ack! Traitor you traitor I thought what we had was-" Before she could finish that sentence she was yanked by her wings back into Lena's grasp. "-special." She squeaked out as she was once again brought face to face with a quite displeased elvish undead. "Lena I'm serious something is wrong here."
"The only thing wrong here is your behavior my lady," The elf sighed. "But very well, I will humor you like I always do, what is the matter, Tania?" Before she could say anything else, the Fey struggled out of Lena's hands, taking a few minutes to seemingly fumble with her spells before her body began to grow to its normal size. The child like fairy frowned, looking over to Vander then to the new demon gracing them with his presence.
"A lot of things! like...everything! Y-you aren't supposed to be like this - not that I mind or anything but still!" Truthfully, the fairy was incredibly nervous, somewhat scared and a little overwhelmed. She was not equipped to deal with something like this! Emotionally, she meant. Oh sure she liked the game but she liked her boring office life too! This was just a pleasant distraction! She didn't know what happened but being a tiny little fairy in a world full of big giant monsters wasn't something she was looking forward to being in!
"Ah, uhm...I just..." Tania's expression drooped for a moment before shaking her head. "No, I have no idea. I'm Tania, by the way. This is Lena...she's uh, an NPC i created but it seems like she's got a bit more spunk to her now though."
"...I am unsure what you mean, Lady Tania. I have always been like this?" The Elf narrowed her eyes, obviously not entirely understanding what was happening or what the three players were discussing.
"The game was supposed to shut down, wasn't it? But it seems like something else has happened instead." Tania turned her head towards the demon. "Haaa....I had a big work day ahead of me tomorrow...this is gonna suck if I'm late. Boss is going to kill me." There was the sound of heavy fighting and crashing coming from the guild hall as well."Oh, and I'm pretty sure the guildhall has pretty much been destroyed by some idiots so we don't even have some place left to return to because they're a bunch of morons. Bravo, really." If her sarcasm wasn't obvious the roll of her eyes and mocking tone she used should have at least been some indication.
@Queentze Alright, Kitsune! I love him. Fluffy tails and all~
That said, there are a couple of things we would like you to change. First of all, most students that possess magic of any sort are not going to have anywhere near sixteen points in skill in something. We're not going to allow for very many exceptions to this rule.
If you would kindly change his skill in lightning magic to level ten at max, that would be much appreciated. That's what he's here for after all, to learn how to harness his abilities and control them.
Now, after discussing it with Neo and the others a bit, we have decided to ask you to also change 'Fox Fire' to an ability rather than magic. Fox Fire is something all kitsune's are naturally capable of doing, as such it is an ability of theirs, not a magical craft. So if you could move that to the 'Ability' section and remove the skill in Fire Magic as well since we are assuming that is there because of the Fox Fire (Correct us on that if we're wrong), that would also be greatly appreciated.
Thankies~
And to clarify: An 'Ability' is something a creature is innately born with. An Ifrit's flame, or Dragon's fire breath or inhuman strength. Magic, is something learned over time that not everyone of a persons race is born with.
Allllriiight, here's my second character. She'll be a teacher, despite the fact she looks like a kid. There's a reason for that that I wouldn't mind telling you privately if you're curious/think it needs explaining.
"Do I know you? No, I don't think so, But do you want to play anyways? No? Waaah? You'll make a little girl cry...That's too bad...I am Viola Rifei, pleasure to make your acquaintance. And don't worry about the...chill in the room, dear. Just my...friends, having a little tea party. Care to join us, hmm?~"
Name: 'Viola Rifei'
Race: Human...?
Gender: Female
Appearance: You would be forgiven, for believing this teacher to be a child attending the school. In fact, she likes to go around introducing herself as 'headmistress' for giggles, but that'll be discussed elsewhere if you can get her to open up to you. Viola appears to be a young girl, somewhere between the ages of 14 and 17 with long blond hair typically tied back into long braids. She can often be found wearing elaborate dresses ranging from some gothic style ones to more simple, yet elegant ones typically being purple, blue, black, or red in colors. She has bright ember colored eyes and an overall not too impressive build, standing at an incredibly short four foot ten.
Personality: Viola...definitely does not behave the way her appearance might suggest. At first impression, she'd come off as incredibly formal and polite. Talk with her long enough though, and you'll find a somewhat self-centered, cynical, mischievous, somewhat playfully aggressive person who has a rather large seeming ego. However, this is just her attempting to be 'cute' or 'cheeky'. Truthfully, she doesn't take her own words to heart, and would never consider herself better than anyone.
After that, she is fairly friendly and likes meeting people and being around people, and also simply likes watching them for...entertainment purposes.
Another thing to note, would be an insatiable curiosity about anything and everything. Magic, history, technology...everything. While her physical skills are lacking, her academic studies and focus on such things likely make her one of the smarter persons in the school.
However, like with everyone, she does have her own vices and sins. Hers, is curiosity and a lust and love of all knowledge, and her rather cynical and logical outlook on life and people, despite her seeming playfulness. She, would do anything for the sake of knowledge, and her curiosity drives her to meddle in quite a number of affairs, especially ones that offer the most entertainment value. For the most part, they are likely to be harmless...but perhaps, it could get everyone into trouble one day.
Magic:
Schools: Mana - 20 Spirit - 20 Spatial - 14
Technique: Spirit Crafting: Mana and Spirit Class Her most notable usage of her magic. To put shortly, this allows her to take power from a number of souls, and give them shape and form much a craftsman would for metal or wood. The spirits will be able to make use of whatever skills given to them in this form, whatever they may be.
Viola has an almost preternatural affinity for the spirits of the dead. She's always had it, even when she was a child. It's no surprise that as such, the spirits of the dead are naturally drawn to her. She functions as almost a conduit for lost souls, spirits, and other such entities with nowhere else to go. Those that flock to her, she can give temporary form via infusing them with magic. This is not necromancy mind you since it is not raising the dead - though it could easily be an offshoot of it. She simply gives the spirits a desired form, effect, and abilities and uses them to the full of her ability. She could also change the appearance and abilities of a spirit mid-battle, should she need too. The limitations of the ability are indeed, quite few. It is fairly versatile and powerful if used correctly. All she needs is time, a little creativity, and she could theoretically give a spirit any sort of form possible,
Don't assume spirits have to take the form of animate objects either, or you will quickly find yourself surprised.
The spirits are faithful servants, lost souls who refuse to move on and will give anything for the ability to linger for even awhile longer. The time these spirits can last is typically limited, and one could endeavor to outlast them. If they use up all of their 'life force' they will dissipate into raw mana and the spirits will return to Viola, where they must rest to be used again.
Attacks from these spirits differ greatly on a case to case basis, though none of them are ever physical in nature, and most unless specialized in something else harm the persons soul directly. Blue, destructive flames made by burning a soul are the most common that her spirits will wield, if anything.
A few limitations - are that the more powerful, more ability she gives a spirit, means the longer time she needs to craft it. It also means it will likely have a shorter lifespan. Plus, her supply of 'souls' if you will is not infinite, and she can run out which means she would be quite vulnerable. After being used, spirits typically need to rest a bit before being re-used. Plus, it could take time to craft something truly terrifying and powerful that could match another mage in something.
Hexes and contracts: - Spirit Class While fighting dozens of incorporeal spirit beings that can go through walls, jump you at random intervals can be a fair bit hazardous, what is even more frightening is her ability to use hexes to hinder her opponents. Essentially, she crafts a hex into one of her soul creatures and has it deliver it upon its attack. These hexes, while temporary are incredibly potent and can be more than a simple nuisance. A few hexes include:
'Mark' spell which allows her to always know the location of someone, 'Confusion hex' in which a foe is temporarily possessed by the spirit in question, making their movements erratic and having to constantly fight against it. 'A Hatred of the Damned hex' In which ones body is weighed down by seemingly countless numbers of souls, slowing them and making movement difficult for the duration of it.
It should be noted that any hex is fairly short lived thanks to the delivery method. Still, they can be a hazard in a fight and make it difficult to fight cleanly.
She is also able to 'Contract' a number of spiritual beings by binding them either forcefully to her will or entering into a mutual, temporary contract. She has a number of spiritual entities she is well acquainted with, most are spirits of the dead in some manner.
We are Legion - Spirit Class, Contract. Spatial class, Demon Summoning. Once Upon a time, Viola contracted a powerful, obscene amalgamation of spirits that were beings of vengeance, hatred, and envy. Even today, it still lives with her. She can make use of this spirit in two ways.
One way, is that she allows it to temporarily possess herself. A spell she doesn't make use of often, since it is rather dangerous to let any spirits, even those you have contracted to have any degree of control over your body. Essentially, this will grant her physical abilities proportional to the number of spirits she 'consumes' in the process. Enhanced Strength, levitation, and a few other spirit-like traits. The downsides however, are quite...numerous. She will lose control over her body for a time, or at least have trouble controlling it as the hundreds of vengeful specters vie for control over their host. To put simply, the more spirits she has - the stronger she is, but the less control over herself she will have.
The second, is to summon it to the battlefield itself in all of its horrific glory. The beast normally resides in a space somewhere between life and death, normally unable to bring itself outside of the confines of its ancient prison. It is quite strong to be sure and something most mages would have great difficulty dealing with...however, the beast is thankfully immobile, relying on Siphoning energy from Viola's soul to move in any capacity. When summoned in this capacity, it will feed off of her own supply of 'souls' as long as its active. The spirit itself, can summon minor spiritual specters to aid it in combat along with Viola's own spirit crafting.
She doesn't make use of Legion often, but whens he does you can assume either you will be added to the obscene creatures souls, or you'll have to kill her. Some say 'Viola' isn't a person at all, but this spirits 'Proxy' if you will, and that may not perhaps be far from the truth.
Skills: - Excellent Tea maker - Is fluent in a number of dead, ancient, and inhuman languages. - Likes to play pranks on the students. Hope you don't mind a good haunting. - In many ways, comes off as innocently harmful, almost as if she doesn't particularly know any better.
Bio: Viola's history is fairly difficult to pin down, as she never gives a straight answer. She either answers with vague responses that leave one with more questions than answers, or riddles that would make the ancient Norse god Loki scratch his head. She really doesn't like talking about her past at all, and gets cranky if the subject is lingered on for any number of moments. At worst, you'll find yourself being assaulted by a number of mostly harmless spirits that will nibble on you until you shut up about it.
What is known however, is that once upon a time she was a part of the Divine War, making her one of the oldest humans living to this day - if she is even still human in any capacity. That said, no record of someone by the name of 'Viola' can be found in whatever records of the wars exist, meaning she's either telling a blatant lie or there's some missing piece of the puzzle. It seems her and Headmaster Wick perhaps may have had some relation in the past, but at the moment the two don't seem particularly well acquainted.
Whatever the case with her history, she's not talking without someone prying it from her. Even then, she'd rather choose death than talk over secrets she has no inclination to let others know.
The fox merely gave Sel a rather deadpan expression when she was picked up and petted once again. For now though she said nothing, merely growled disapprovingly and climbed not onto Sel's shoulder, but rather - right onto her head. The fox threw her back legs over the humans head, and her front paws over her forehead. It'd probably look quite...odd, but hey, she wanted to mess with her just a bit and waited for Sel to return her to the dorm.
She hadn't been expecting to basically be given the key to the family. The fox peered at the talisman, studying it intensely before turning her head towards Sel.
"Hm...perhaps this one misjudged you." The fox yawned, sauntering off and hopping onto the bed. "Ah well, only time will tell, I suppose." She chuckled. "Hopefully you won't regret the decision, my oh so gullible master."
~Ritsa~
Of course, Livia had been vaguely aware of the own thing. She hadn't been watching the whole exchange...but she had saw both Fia's fish catching and them returning. The headmistress looked down at the two girls smiling at the both of them.
"My, someone has been paying much better attention as of late." She chuckled. "I'm glad you two had fun, and yes...Cynthia is here, as always Fia." The maid was standing in her usual spot not far away from Livia, blending into the background as she had a habit of doing easily. She cast a somewhat unimpressed looking glance over to Livia and then towards the fish.
"Oh come now Cynthia, don't be like that...though I suppose if you don't I could always tease you some more-oof!" In an uncharacteristic display of disobedience the Maid gave the headmistress a light smack on the back of the head and earning a small chuckle from Livia.
"Very well, children." Cynthia sighed. "Follow me to the Kitchens..." She walked to the door, holding it open for the two girls to follow. Ritsa quickly followed out after Cynthia.
~Sorcha~
OH
Oh dear.
Upon seeing the kittens reaction, the dragon couldn't help but to start laughing. She placed a hand on Luna's shoulder steadying herself as her free hand held her stomach. It was easy enough to tell what the cat had thought happened.
"Oh, my little one," She spoke. "I assure you nothing quite like that happened...Luna's much too modest, heh~" She teased once again, giving her knight a small pat on the head. "It's almost adorable, really, but no - nothing quite like that happened." Sorcha's gaze however, soon returned to a more serious one as she observed the kitten. She hadn't done anything too wrong here so there was no need to really get too upset with her. Still...
"Maoin, Little one...I realize you had good intentions of giving us some privacy...which would be good, if things had actually escalated to that." She shook her head. "I will simply say a servant should be capable of reading the atmosphere between their master and another person better."
