Current 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).

Have some dancing medjed.

I'm young and cute again? Waaah, my ears are so soft!?



"Aaaaah~" Kosame, was tired, but when was she not tired? Haaa, being a blue collar worker working a dumb 9-5 to five job for a dumb company for just making a living was a ~total~ drag. "At least I got home in time for the Expac~" She'd excitedly giggle to herself as she'd open the door to her apartment, quickly throwing off her suit jacket and tossing it onto a nearby pile of clothes that really should probably be put in the washer, but eh, she'd clean it later. She didn't want to miss the start of the newest expac.

First though, food.

She worked straight through lunch to get home early enough. Nothing a bit of fancy ramen couldn't fix.

The company drone sit in her chair, practically vibrating from excitement. Probably a bit odd for a woman in her thirties to get that excited over a game, but did she care? Not a single bit. Aaaah, how many new little monsties were going to be in this expac? Which ones would she have to fight? Oh, and of course, what new classes? Maybe she could find something better suited...she wasn't really thinking about how easy it was to get in either. She was far too focused on just how exactly she was going to be proceeding. First she'd feed her current monsters. Harvest their materials. Make sure her player owned shop was up and still selling things on the market or whatever.

As soon as the servers would come online...Ah~!

"Here we-"

She'd login, selecting her character.

For a moment, she thought the bright light was either her excitement reaching supernova levels, but that was a silly thought. The next was that her computer had just went and died on her, but that too soon proved to be not what had happened.




"-gooo? eh?"

Looking around her, she was standing in what seemed to be a field. Rolling lush plains of grass surrounding her. Large city walls rose in the distance. Had she worked too hard? Did she pass out? Did she not get enough sleep? Was she have some sort of weird fever dream, because this looked suspiciously like the outskirts of Aluvera. For a few seconds, she'd just stand there, for a very few seconds in her life, absolutely stunned and not having any witty or silly quip to make, or someone to antagonize with her usual antics.

"...Okay Kosame, maybe you should have laid off the special coffee." She'd grumble, reaching up and scratching her head...only to find something fairly unexpected. "Fweh?! Soft?!" Taking her other hand, she'd quickly check to make sure she just wasn't imagining it. No, that definitely was some sort of...fluffy...ear? Wearing a perplexed expression, she'd quickly look down at her body, her concern only growing with each part of her she looked over.

"Weh? Smaller chest?" She'd pat the sides of her face. That wasn't her face. "Furry ears...no. No way. Really? For really real?" She'd twirl a few times, almost looking like a dog chasing its tail as she'd in fact, manage to just see a long, white tail sticking from her backside. Her hands would reach behind her, just to confirm. A quiet yelp later, and yep, that was firmly attached to her butt. This of course, was not a phenomena she was unfamiliar with, what with all the pop culture and manga surrounding it, but like...what? Just what? There was no denying it. From the way she was dressed, her younger, totally cute voice, soft fluffy ears and her amazingly cute self, she had quite literally, had finally gone completely bonkers from overwork, or had just become her Emerald Odyssey avatar - Kokoma.

"Is something the matter Kokoma-"

And it was increasingly looking like it was in fact, the latter.

Upon hearing a voice nearby her, Kokoma's ears would stand straight on end, she'd spin and find herself unconsciously reaching out and grabbing something.

"...soft." Ah. It was...it was her. The arachne. Tatl. She was...ah. And she had reached out and was currently just...cupping either side of her face with her hands. If she was here, then...ah. Wait, did that mean all her mounts and tamed creatures were here?

"A-ahem...M-miss Kokoma if you...could let go of my face..."

"Eeeh, why would I do that when you're so pretty. I made a good choice in a maid, heheh, that outfit looks great." In response to this, the Arachne would inhale, face turning a bright shade of red.

"I-I was...uhm, going to ask...if you were alright. You were spacing out a bit..." The Arachne would respond, adjusting her glasses slightly in an attempt to hide her mild embarrassment. "But I can see you are fine, erm..." She'd say, quickly pulling away from Kokoma. "A-anyways...are we-Ah! Wait! Kokoma!"

Before Tatl could finish her question, Kokoma had set her sights on Aluvera. The moment the Arachne's attention wandered, the Shenke was already making a beeline for the city, sprinting. A wide grin plastered on her face. The more and more apparent it was becoming this wasn't some sort of dream - and even if it was - she should enjoy this, right? There was no reason not too! So she'd run into the city, down its streets. She didn't really have a goal in mind, yet, or was even thinking of her other mounts, abilities, skills or whatnot.

But not thinking was pretty par for the course for Kokoma.
While I think its a good idea at least for organization and just for ease of communication, I think it'll be fine even if not.

Anyways, suppose I'll get a post out first thing tomorrow.
@PKMNB0Y

Alright, I updated the CS. After some thought, figured I'd just go in on making her a fairly tanky support on her own with her mounts being the main offensive ability she has. Lemme know if you feel I went in the wrong direction lol

Revisions include -
Included the weapon. Decided on spear since that'd feel like, to me at least, the best weapon to use while mounted on a creature. (Still would take suggestions on that before finalizing it). Also made a mention of its probably going to be difficult to directly control more than two, and even then their combat effectiveness would probably dwindle without direct input.


Explained the buffs/Debuffs a bit


Changed her third class -


And lastly made the update to the utility class to be mining. Pretty much exactly as it says. Mine, identify, and generally know how much its worth and the quality.

The hunt begins again



Honestly, she'd have thought these humans would have either fled or crumbled by now. For what force backed them that could they withstand both the righteousness of a Goddess and the fury of the Sun? She would give credit where credit was due, at least, but that did not meant she liked it. They indeed, as much as she boasted otherwise, were worthy opponents simply because of how weakened she was. It was...kind of a novel feeling, really. Never once had she felt weakened as so. She couldn't say it was an unpleasant feeling. Was this what it was like to be the prey, just a bit?

"Amusing!" She'd say, unrelenting in her assault still. "Hmph, I rarely have felt so weakened as to consider mortals a challenge. You should consider yourselves proud, that you are allowed to stand even before my weakened form!" Of course such praises were neither here nor there. As amusing as it was, she must still continue with her judgement. A low growl as the group of mortals would train their weapons upon her. It'd be easy enough to shield herself from most damage by the use of her tails, but ah, how annoying. Her poor tails were getting dirtier and dirtier. Should she blame the priestess? Someone would need to groom them and she doubted there were any tail fluffers...nhn, no she should focus on the humans.

The goddess would take a defensive stance, using three of her tails to form a defensive wall between herself and the humans, using one tail to lash out at any that would get within its range and slowly make her way towards them. If she had their attention, then the others could easily make short work of most of them. She'd worry about her tails later. It was more important to resolve this issue quickly.
@Rune_Alchemist: Okay, form analysis time.

  • Does Beast Tamer not have a weapon type? You mentioned strongarming some monsters into submission, but I would expect that a game would not want to just throw a player into the fray Pokemon-style in this instance.
  • Gathering should be more specific; 'mining' and 'harvesting' could qualify just as easily as 'fishing' (which, like, let's be real, what MMO doesn't have fishing in this day and age), so a clearer, more specific direction would be appreciated.
  • Can the Arachne speak? I suppose it's an assumption that the answer is 'yes', but it's better to ask to make sure.
  • Is there a 'multitasking limit' in terms of monsters? This is a future-proofing question, as it might end up overwhelming to control too many pseudocharacters at once.


1. Ah. Something I sort of forgot to consider. Suppose I was too focused on the more taming aspects that I didn't really consider the actual combat style of the class itself. I was trying to avoid having her be able to really fight things solo, since well, I want to avoid a situation where she does everything when her mounts are probably going to have a wide variety of talents as is...hm.

I suppose probably normally they'd just use heavy weapons? Probably have similar physical ability as a base fighter...or could go the fisticuffs route to actually wrestle monsters lol. Open to suggestions on that front.

Hm, In that case might swap her third class for another support/command class? Maybe something that gives buffs based on verbal orders given.

2. Fair enough. I was mostly thinking of something she'd have to synergize with her armor work...so I guess I'll narrow it down to mining.

3. Yes. I imagine the class allows her to 'speak' with most mounts, though its less talking and more understanding their body language and such. I'd imagine more humanoid/special monsters could speak clearly. (Particularly special dragons or similarly tiered creatures, perhaps.)

4. I was imagining in game she'd only be able to use one at a time, and either be locked to a particular mount during combat, or take a few seconds to switch between them.

After Isekai'ing, It'd probably already be pretty difficult trying to control more than two at once. I'd say probably a limit of three at once for most, but generally it probably shouldn't go above one or two since that should likely hopefully be enough for most things. I don't want to turn into a one man army, after all it realistically it'd be hard for someone to keep track of more than that I feel.

“...are you certain? How would you-” The beast would turn its gaze towards where the deer had been startled. Its eyes narrowed, it taking a few steps away from the group towards where Novak had pointed. Wind trailed between the beasts antlers, air being sucked in from the world around, coalescing between its horns. “No matter. Stand aside.” Enli would take a few steps away from the deer, obviously not wanting to get caught in whatever the Elder Beast was about to do.

The Kyrnith would inhale.

And then exhale.

A blast of wind would cut through the air - stronger than any natural wind could possibly have been. The gust of wind cut the ground, ripping chunks of rock and earth from their resting places. The trees were not spared either, as the picked up chunks of earth would tear into the trees, foliage, carried right through the foliage and brush where Novak had indicated.

There was a shout from somewhere beyond. The force of the wind would ultimately impact a tree, the loud sound of wood splintering as it struck followed shortly by the sound of a loud thud, the tree falling from where the wind had cut deep into its trunk.

“Damn it! We’ve been found out!”

“Doesn’t matter, we’ll just kill them all here instead!”

Voices, obviously hostile intent as three hunters who had barely managed to avoid such a powerful blast of wind would get to their feet. One with a bow, the other two with spears.

“I will leave these three to you. I must protect my kin.” Before anything else could be said, the massive dear would begin galloping, bounding in the direction of the three hunters, nearly knocking them over a second time as it would disappear deeper into the forest.

The three hunters quickly recovered, one already knocking an arrow and launching it in Nobunaga’s general direction while the other two would start making their way towards the Novak.

“Remember, Enli’s our target!”

It seemed like this time the deer didn’t want to leave her side, curiously watching what she was doing with some manner of curiosity. Now that they had been better acquainted, it seemed as though it was less cautious around her. She had effectively just saved its life, after all. It would spend the rest of the time Misaki was gathering plants almost seeming like a curious kid, wondering what she was doing and constantly seeming to ask questions. Thinking that she was a bit hungry or something, the deer would start helping pulling the bamboo shoots up after awhile, before handing them to her.

It would get a bit confused when she didn’t eat it, but would still help her gather a bit more.

It would take a while indeed for her to gather a good chunk of material to use, but she would have quite a good bit of it if she kept at it. After that it would just be her attempting to use it for what she wanted - attempting to make paper. Seemed like she might have a helper now, too, if she could find a use for a deer.

Lazhira would thank Narkissa for the help, glad to have someone else help her with leannah.

“...please don’t call me that.” Lazhira would reply sternly. She would fall silent for a few seconds, not really sure how to respond to what Leannah was saying it seemed at first. Lazhira would eventually sigh, scooting over to Lazhira. “Well...if you don’t know what to do...then just do what comes naturally?” She’d say with a curious tone. “And well, we know he’s doing something bad, right? And up to something. So we just have to stop him, right? So we find one of those orbs and you give it to me. It’ll be safe with me, promise.”

Lazhira would give Leannah a quick hug before standing up.

“You look like you could use some rest, so...uhm, I’ll leave you here, but if you need anything I’ll be just outside or in the house, okay?” She’d say, giving Leannah a pet on one of her ears before heading out of the room, leaving Leannah alone or with Narkissa if she wanted too.

“Eh? Danger, what are you-”

Before she had even managed to finish the sentence, the snow under her began to shift. Just like his dream from before, from the snow beneath them, began rising a number of undead. Ice preserved flesh slowly began shambling to its feet. Thankfully, there wasn’t the absurd number that he had already seen - but it was hard to tell exactly how many there were. They popped out of the snow around them, and it was likely that there were more around the village itself.

“Wah! They just popped outta the ground! I don’t think zombies are flowery enough for that!” Either way, Nicholas had just saved Elisette from outright just getting her ankles chomped on by some sort of undead looking thing. “There’s a lot of em too! Is it zombie season or something?!”

Elisette would draw her sword, standing between Nicholas and the approaching horde, but there was the very real fact that they were going to slowly be surrounded at this rate. “Nngh, alright we need to get to the village. We can probably hide there! Don’t fight unless you have too!” The nearest one of the undead would lunge towards Elisette, the girl easily sidestepping the slow, clumsy creature as she’d slice its abdomen with her sword, eviscerating it as it would stumble to the ground with a pained groan. One that had crawled out of the ground near Nick was lunging at him.

The longer they were out here in the field, the more in danger they likely were. Elisette seemed intent on cutting a path straight to them through the village. Of course, he could always choose to fight the horde.

“Hm, like I said, I’m no hunter or fighter. If someone’s after Enli’s life at most I could probably just stall them.” He’d cross his arms, frowning. “But those...Oni, are they called? Of yours are strong - seen a single one lift well over his own weight with just a single arm. Skilled with both blades and guards, from the looks of things. How much would it take to hire ‘em for a few days?” Bolcha would ask up front.

This could be a very good change for Nomura to prove himself to Mie, if he still wished to do so. Of course, whether or not it was within his authority to promise something was another matter entirely. As he’d ponder the question, the fox from earlier would make itself known. In a rather odd fashion, it’d seem to...wave at him with its tail? Before quietly hopping out a nearby window. It didn’t...want him to follow it, did it? That was a bit odd for a fox, but he might have assumptions by now it wasn’t exactly a normal fox.

Donovan would pray. For the protection of Akando. It was a small prayer, but even such a small prayer may have some effect, or boon, but as far as he could tell, there was nothing special happening from it. Perhaps it was not something he could see, for it was not him asking to be protected. He'd just need to have faith his god would here such a small request.

“Hm...alright, fine.” Akando would nod. “I’ll whistle if there’s anything wrong or I find something.” He would set off, and as skilled a hunter as he was, it was easy enough for him to move through the underbrush with no problem whatsoever. It seemed as though, at first, there was nothing particularly wrong here. Donovan could see a few deer running in the distance that seemed like they were spooked by something, but for the most part, it seemed as though everything was peaceful.

...but it would not be long before he could hear a commotion of some sort, coming some distance from the south, back towards the beach, close to where he was incidentally close to where the deer had fled earlier. There was a dull thud followed by a loud crack, as though a tree had fallen.

A cold breeze blew past him, but he’d see or hear nothing else after that little outburst. It was quiet, and despite having seen deer earlier, they all seemed to have fled by now.
I'll be posting tomorrow, sorry for the delay~
@PKMNB0Y

Alright, here we go. Let me know if the companions are too strong or whatnot. Didn't think I needed to really go into too much detail as long as I listed general abilities and strengths/weaknesses.

If there's anything wrong with the classes too, lemme know too.

Still working on a beast tamer/summoner/bard thing

Will have something up probably tomorrow~
