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 see nothing wrong with the changes here, as discussed.

I've put some more thought into it, and seeing as there's so many folks raring to go with more thought in their ideas already than I have in mine, I'll just go ahead and bow out; Liked the concept, just not chugging how I thought I would mentally when I put myself time to think. Godspeed everyone!


Unfortunate, but understandable. Good luck in future endeavors, friend.




As for everyone else, I think I'm waiting on about potentially 4 more CS's before I can make final judgements.

"I can't deny your logic but it still feels like I'm getting scammed or something..." Kokoha grumbled in response. Well, at least things looked like they were over with. She'd dismiss the hermit, briefly drawing the High Priestess to confirm that she wasn't in immediate danger of getting jumped by anything other than a fox that would have probably been the CEO of a ruthless black company. Right, might as well introduce herself too, right? She needed to not be so uh, well she had to be a proper magical girl, right? Yes.

"Oh, uh, right-er, ahem-" Kokoha would plaster a totally cute smile. "Magical girl Magi-gal at your service~! A totally cute and amazing magical girl at your service!~" She'd stumble slightly from the pose she was attempting to hold once she finished introducing herself properly. "Ahem, guess we haven't huh...well anyways if there's no other shades around I should probably get going. Staying up any later is gonna be bad for my beauty sleep."

She mostly didn't want to hang around this fox that she was pretty sure was gonna mess with her.
Fish? Fishing.

“Wah~” Sionna responded to Seelay’s jab with a fake pout. “I was charming enough to get you to drag me along with you, hehe. Or did you just think I’m that much fun to hang around? Seelay, we can always play more if you wanna instead of you wearing that grumpy look all the time!”

“Equipment, huh…alright, sure, follow me.” The fisherman replied. “We keep a lot of our gear in a building near the shore, near the storehouse for fresh stuff too.” He’d say, starting to lead Seelay away from the frozen shore and towards a building sitting a bit further away from the main village upon the beach. Forcing the iced over door open, he’d lead the elf inside, lighting a lamp and letting light wash over the interior.

“We’ve got more equipment then we probably have people to use them properly right now, honestly.” He’d say with a shake of his head. Indeed, the storeroom for equipment seemed pretty well stocked, at least. Plenty of harpoons that with a little cleaning could certainly be usable. Large fishing nets hung on the walls and were stored neatly away in crates. Lengths of rope neatly bundled on the walls and stored on shelves. Weir baskets for use in more shallow waters.

“...you know, thinking about it, maybe we could use the Wier baskets to create some sort of large bait hook? Hmm…no, there’s not a man here that could pull it in…”





The Missing huntress
@ERode@Pyromania99



The spear indeed, flew straight as Atzi threw it, careening through the air amidst the blackened tentacles and towards its target. There was the crunching noise of spear impacting flesh, tearing straight through the man in front of her, ripping a hole right through its chest not even bothered having to defend himself.

“...Violence. Beasts. Foolish.” His droning, disjointed voice rang out, completely unfazed by the spear now sticking from his chest. The tendrils that he had commanded suddenly retracted, seemingly content with having killed all by the one that Vammy had run off with as it would instead, turn its entire attention to Atzi. Thankfully for her, the other cultists had…vanished? Disappeared? It was hard to say what happened, but they weren’t there any more. “Very well. Die in ignorance.”

Atzi would watch, as the man would pull the spear from his chest with a wet squelch, the hole left behind showing no internal organs, just a hole that would slowly start near immediately mending itself with blackened goo. Slowly, the being would walk towards Atzi as this faceless being would summon more tendrils from his face, dozens lashing out towards Atzi.

One wrapped around her wrist as he’d walk slowly towards her in an effort to seemingly subdue the woman.

Vammy, meanwhile, was making a quick exit. The ‘anti-magic’ field seemed to be less of an anti-magic in general, and more something akin to a ‘silence’ area of sorts that stopped spells from being active in the area. As she’d pass through the range, she’d find her demon-given magical abilities return once more as the tendril of black goo rushed towards her.

Lances of fire shot out, slamming into the tendril and piercing its body…though not cutting it. Thankfully for her though, it seemed whatever Atzi was doing had drawn its entire attention towards her, leaving Vammy free to do as she wished. Well, wished as far as struggling with the captor on her shoulder.

“Let me go smelly demon! Who would want to study any of your kind closely? You’re about as interested as the refuse from that stupid mutt!”

Tallen, needless to say, was quite a heavy pup being nearly the size of a man but Vammy had only minor trouble from the struggling cultist as she’d speed away from the scene of the fighting, making her way towards the village.





An eight legged herbalist

The hunters running to assist would indeed, make way, barely avoiding getting run over by the Mothraki and her charge as they’d join Lissa in facing down this beast. The one delegated to getting more help would run off after a brief acknowledgement as Lissa would position herself between the hunters and the beast itself just for the monster in question to recover from its attack, shaking its head in a seeming bit of a daze as it’d focus its eyes on the group of people before it.

“Goddess, what’s one of these things doing all the way out here?” One of the hunters shouted.

“Less questions, more shooting!” The second retorted, grabbing arrows from his quiver and quickly knocking one, loosing it towards the beast.

“Its not fully grown! We can handle it!” The third shouted, grabbing his spear, joining Lissa on the frontline between the other two hunters and the beast. The arrow loosed towards it would sink into the flesh near its head, but it was completely unfazed as it would start charging the group - the moment it would get a few feet from them it halted its speed, sliding forward along the ground just slightly as it would instead spew a stream of the same acidic liquid towards Lissa and the hunters.

Nylah made a mad dash for Enli’s hut, unimpeded by any villagers save for perhaps one overly unobservant dog that nearly got run over, and it wasn’t long before she made her way there. Shouting for Calra, the Chiralta would at first, lazily come walking outside, her lower half covered in a thick, warm looking fur blanket. Upon immediately seeing Haruno and Nylah however though, her smile disappeared as she’d start spinning a stretcher of her own.

“I’ll take it from here Nylah. Put the herbs on the table inside.” She’d order her apprentice, taking a quick stock of Haruno’s injuries. The injured Oni had stopped moving, her face pale and breathing raggedly shallow. “...if she was anything other than an Oni…” Quickly having spun a small stretcher from her silk, she’d take Haruno and carry her inside, stringing up the stretcher a bit above ground.

“Haa, I don’t get paid enough for this overwork…Nylah, make some healing salves while I undress and prepare to bandage her wounds, please.” Seemed Calra expected her to help with the first aid instead of helping Lissa. Considering the spider only had so many hands, having an assistant would probably make the healing process smoother.


@Asuras

Yeah, that sounds fine. Go for it.
@Asuras
Uh yeah, sure, if you could at least run the domains/aspects/what they were the deity of by me first that'd be great.

I doubt there would be a problem since aside from a few certain deities that are pretty important its pretty much free real estate. Off the top of my head Time/Cycles, Moon, Sun, Eternity/Stagnation, are the only domains that would be unworkable.

"why everyone take blood magic"


Did I say that? Tee-hee~

Anyways, for those interested, I added the Queen's name and the name of the other NPC vampire lords to the character tab along with a brief description of each. These are characters, any character you make should know at least in some capacity even if there is no real relationship there aside from just knowing they exist. You don't have to do anything with them, or even mention any relationship at all, but you can know them if their name comes up ICly.
This has way more interest then I thought. I suppose by now I should just realize I make absolutely banger top tier RP's, huh. Alright, lets see here...turns on Bloodborne OST

@Pyromania99
Akyasha, huh. Short simple, sweet and I find nothing wrong with the CS overall.

@Princess Peril
A vampire warrior, huh. I see I see. Overall, I find nothing objectionable here. Simple and sweet and nothing needs to be changed, I think.

@Cu Chulainn
Honestly, absolutely phenomenal work as always. I love everything about this. I'll shoot ya a question on discord but for now I see nothing that needs to be changed.

@VitaVitaAR
Smol vampire is a welcome addition. She behaves exactly as I'd expect a vampire too. That is to say, for now nothing needs to be changed.

@Dead Cruiser
Arrogance, even for a vampire hm? I'll assume that he has the standard fare of blood magic and some alchemy related stuff. I see no errors or anything that needs to be changed.

@Asuras
I'll wait until the whole thing is finished to render complete judgement, but just to make clear - You seem to be going for Enthrallment and charm as abilities, correct?

@Psyker Landshark
Oi, you can't just show up out of nowhere. Back ye, back!

Jokes aside, I approve. A regular old Darknight with good ol' blood magic and necromancy with a personality to match. I see nothing that needs changing here, good job.

@Click This
Good work as always. I see nothing wrong with Giselle.



We seem to have quite a few blood magic users, huh? No one wants to do something fun with other forms of magic? Oh well, guess any other NPC vampire lords I make get to have fun with other stuff, heheh.

Anyways. Good work everyone, glad to see everyone is mostly hitting the mark with what I envisioned for the rascally little vampires we'll be playing as. Once everyone gets a CS in or one week from when the thread was posted I'll make my final judgements and acceptances.

For now, I'll probably be adding some NPC profiles to the Character tab over the course of the next few days. The Undead queen herself along with some NPC vampire lords that you can also, if given the opportunity, could resurrect.
@Fading Memory

For your first question regarding art.

The inspirations for this are heavily influenced by Bloodborne, if you've ever played it. I don't want to say they'll be straight up copies of either the Hunters or the Cainhurst nobles, but starting there would be a good base as far as general aesthetics and the overall feel of the game is going to be.

Culturally, heavily, well Victorian Gothic. Large grand cathedrals with lots of pointy edges (Notre Dame, Victorian era fashion) those sorts of things. That said, this is also well, Gothic fantasy. Some exaggeration and unrealistic aspects are to be expected. As an example of two potential characters that will be in the RP -





There will definitely be some heavily grotesque and eldritch creatures present, but for the most part Vampires are expected to act with some manner of grace/decorum/and be a bit of a beacon of pure vampiric elegance and imperiousness within this game.

As for your character idea, that seems totally fine, sure. A bard is always welcome, and vampires certainly always love good entertainment, especially of a more macabre sort.

Hopefully all of this helps some.




On another note, I shall go through CS's tomorrow morning and give thoughts/if there's anything that needs changing then.

“A-a dragon!?” The boy shouted. “But…but aren’t…they all dead? Didn’t the King kill all of them…?”

“I-I knew it! There was no way that thing was a fomorian! I told you, brother!”

“If its a dragon how can we kill it?” The boy asked. “You seem awfully knowledgeable about them…” He’d question Reinhardt as the two would gratefully take up the knights offer of a ride. The two would settle in behind Reinhardt as the group would set off, leaving the burned village behind.

“...ehe, mister that was terrible.” The girl chuckled at Marduk’s less than clever joke, offering him a small smile as they’d head out.

Assuming there was nothing else that they wished to do here, the trio would set off. The ruins of the village behind them. The children contented themselves with talking to Reinhardt, or idly chattering to the knights. The boy seemed to take a particular liking towards Ethelred, now that the shock of the initial meeting wore off he seemed to think the icy powers and armor was rather cool.

It was about when they were halfway through the forest that they would stumble on something of an obstacle. Some ways down the road in the direction they were going, was a group of knights. Wearing fairly stereotypical chainmail and armor covered by a tabard bearing the crest of Harzelslack.

“What kind of children just run off? I’d be surprised if they haven’t become fomorian dinner already.” A red-headed, young looking girl near the front would say. She was wearing full plate armor, a well crafted blade at her side and seemed fairly important from the fact she was effectively leading the procession of about six knights, including herself and a purple haired fellow next to her.

“That’s enough, Gráinne.” He was dressed in black, well put together armor with a cloak hanging from his shoulders. “Just because we’ve finally arrested that Black knight doesn’t mean we can let our guard down. Whatever fomorian it is out here still. It concerns me that she went so quietly when she’s fought us at every other turn.”

“Haa, really Lonan?” The redhead replied with a grunt. “She was half dead when we found her, she’s probably just waiting to escape and taking advantage of our merciful laws. We should just execute her already.”

“The law exists for a reason.” He’d reply, whacking the redhead on the back of her head. “She may be a criminal, but I will not besmirch the law laid down by the King. Now think. If she of all people were half dead from this Fomorian, then how do you think we’d fare if we ran into it? Keep your mouth shut and eyes and ears open for those kids.”

…now, who could they be talking about? Regardless, unless they hadn’t been spotted quiet yet by the party as it had stopped and the five seemed to be discussing their next moves. The children seemed to shrink a bit at the Harzel knights appearance, trying to make themselves a bit hidden behind Reinhardt’s frame.

“Bweh~” Sorcha’s head would subsequently meet the table as she’d faceplant from the unexpected impact of Fio’s sword. Her hands released the small witch from her grip, allowing her to wiggle free and finally put some distance between the queen and herself.

Not that the Queen seem bothered.

“Ahahaha~!” She’d sit up, laughing boisterously at Fio’s bonking, seemingly completely unfazed by it. “How many times is that? Twice so far?” She’d laughed again, in response to being bonked a second time in fairly recent memory. “Ehehe you’re lucky I’m drunk and your cute or I might start taking offense.” She’d immediately turn around, waving down a server. “HEY! ANOTHER DRINK!”

She’d turn towards Fio offering her an excitable grin and passing the witch the mug she had been holding.

“That’s the spirit!” Sorcha would grab another mug as the server would bring them. “Lets make this more interesting too! A bet! Luna has to let me eat whatever I want if I win!”

@FrogRFlowR



Heading down the small hallway Niall would quietly make his way towards the room the Fomorian had disappeared into. Her back was currently towards him, her white dress brushing against the ground as she’d make small movements, seemingly stitching something together on the table in front of her. Niall had to get a bit closer to see exactly, but what he saw probably didn’t do much for his assumptions about this Fomorian.

A human body. Fresh, from the looks of it. She had made several long incisions on it, practiced. Medical. Precision.

“Hehe, almost ready. Once I finish you I can get onto that big guy in there…” She’d chuckle to herself. “But first…” The dark skinned woman would then, move from the end of the table with the head of the body towards the opposite, conveniently furthest from Niall.

“You are something alright, heh.” She’d bend over, attempting to lift what was likely the axe the Tuatha had mentioned. A large thing, bigger than a man was made from steel and bone it seemed. As she’d attempt to lift it, she’d make small grunts of exertion, clearly the weapon being far too heavy for her. But after a few moments, she’d manage to lift it over her head….and promptly swing it downwards with a little battle cry.

“Ahaha-wah!” And promptly nearly sling her own smaller body into the nearby wall from the momentum and heft of the weapon. “Gweh…so heavy.” She’d drag the axe and prop it up against the wall behind her. “Whew…maybe I’ll dismantle you and see if I can get some of that giant magic myself…”

She’d go back to the body, back still turned towards Niall. As long as he was quiet, or perhaps if he even could make a distraction of some sort again…even riskier, perhaps he could ambush her. She seemed pretty busy doing...something with the body, but he couldn't quite see what.
Alright, how many slots are there? And what’s the deadline for CSes?


Did I forget to put that here?

Seems like I did.

oops.

As stated in the INt Check, I'll be accepting five, maybe six players. No more. As for the deadline, probably 1 week for everyone to get their CS's in.
