Deston's March | A Newbie Adventuring Group RP

Narrakas finally made his arrival in Bruvell. He knew he was running late, but was a wizard ever really late? The plump Dragon born didn't think so.
As he made his way through the rural town, he saw a Mercenary for hire, seeking adventure. He waved his hand over his invitation for joining the Prince's quest. The paper vibrated a bit, before duplicating itself. Narrakas looked at the copy of the invitation, then back at the hire. He wasn't really sure what made someone qualified to be an adventurer. Since he had chosen more often to spend his time in libraries, instead of picking up whatever farming equipment he had on hand to go hunt goblins. She looked like she could handle herself, at least she thought she could. He folded up the copy of the invitation and tossed it to her feet. Surely the Prince wouldn't mind if she tagged along.

The plump Dragonborn pushed open the doors of the Tavern. He had arrived just in time to catch the last few transactions in the conversation between Deston and his new adventuring party. "It's about Adventure." Narrakas said interjecting. "What else starts in a tavern, aside from sex and drinking?" He said with a smirk. He gestured to Deston and the Cleric. "Do these seem like the kind to drink with common people, unless to gather a misfit band of adventurers to save the world."

Unfortunately, no. While the concept does sound really good, I'm trying to not stray too far from the ideas that I have for this RP. I'm only leaving the possible races as the ones that I have listed.

@Lionhearted

That's fine. I'll get working on a witch character then.

✡ Welcome to Salem, Massachusetts ✡

Was wondering if a Demon character would be allowed.

WoD: The Brewiing Storm

_{https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page}

The story is based loosely on the preexisting lore of the Worlds of Darkness publications by White Wolf Publications. This roleplay will focus less on actual combat and more about the supernatural folk trying to keep the ordinary people oblivious to the fact that they exist. Most races have their own traditions of remaining hidden, so they work together to do that. However, not all races get along. This will be explored further in the racial overview.

The main backdrop for this setting is a generic town on the coast of Australia. Let's call it Townsville. It's big enough that you won't know everyone but is still pretty big. It has a university, two hospitals, an army base, and a port. It's largely a mining town, so the number of people fluctuates through the year as most people are fly in fly out workers.
Anyway, the races that exist within this world are as follows.

The Changing Breeds

Changing Breeds is one of the three major groups within the world. The most common breed of Fera, as they refer to themselves, are the Garou. The Garou are what the Werewolves call themselves. The Changing Breeds are Were-Animals. With wolves being the most common. They are the most spiritual and believe in protecting nature. It is their belief that they were chosen by Gaia, to be her fangs and claws.

Vampires

Vampires call themselves either Cainites or Kindred. They vary depending on their clan. With each clan being nearly as different as each of the Changing Breeds. They all have something in common, and that is they need blood. Vampires are the second of the three major groups within the world.

Mages

Mages are the final major group within the world. Aside from ordinary humans. Mages are individuals who have undertaken the Awakening. As a result, they can access magic. Magic in this sense has its own weaknesses in the form of Paradox. If a spell causes something to be observed by an ordinary human that shouldn't, such as flight or shooting a fireball, reality tries to correct. Often causing harm to the Mage.

Other Playable Races...

These races will have to be researched on your own. If you wish to use these race, please read at least the linked wiki article plus a few others to gain context.
The Imbued - Supernatural Hunters
Wraithes - Ghosts
Changlings - Fairies
The Fallen - Demons

Please read at least some of the wiki article on the race you choose so to get an idea of how they work. You have a lot of freedom, but try to stay to clans, tribes, and factions of things that already exist within white wolf. This is for balancing sake. If you wish to create your own factions or races, please ask me before going ahead, as I may see it as unbalanced.

Bloodrose Irregulars - The New Squad (Dark Fantasy Adventure)

Name: Glyndan Fireshoot
Race: Wood Elf
Gender: Male
Age: 64
Appearance:

Bio: Glyndan Fireshoot, of the northern Fireshoot clan, was born to a long line of mages. His childhood was an interesting one. Being raised by powerful magic users was bound to cause its own dramas. Several things were different from ordinary childhood. For one, instead of being grounded, he was banished to the Astral Plane. Another is that he was forced to solve most things with magic, with nearly every birthday being celebrated by a new magical artefact to nudge him along to be a high mage. The main competition came from his brother though. A few years younger than Glyndan. Glyndan's brother showed more desire to be a high mage.

When Glyndan was 40, his Father, the old High Mage, fell ill. He tried to use a spell that was too powerful for him. A small crack appeared on his soul stone, and he started dying. Over three years, Glyndan's father came closer and closer to death, until he died. Glyndan was told to take up the duties of High Mage but passed it on to his brother. Glyndan wished a life of adventure instead of being locked in a tree fort for the rest of his life. So, Glyndan worked on a Grimoire, made a few wands and staves. Then set off for a life of adventure.

He spent around five years travelling, learning to appreciated humans and the other races. Learning to use his magic and artefacts in new and better ways. He finally heard of the Bloodrose Irregulars sixteen years ago. So, Glyndan joined up with them. He never really got close to anyone in the company, but felt like he should. He often opted to do things alone but is starting to feel like he should start letting others in. To start working with others. To get to know the men and women who have fought by his side the last sixteen years.

Fighting Style: Very flashy, and heavily focused on magic and showmanship.
Equipment:

Ring of Feather Falling

Rings of feather falling were crafted with an intricate feather pattern around the whole ring. Although not required for their construction, the rings were often decorated with malachite, because common folk believed (erroneously) that the stone had gravitational intervention powers.
The Ring allows the wearer to slow their rate of descent when falling. When the wearer falls more than five feet suddenly, their decent slows to that of a feather. Hence the name and design. Glyndan wears his on his left middle finger.

(Wind Magic)

Ring of Regeneration

Every ten minutes, the ring of regeneration emitted a burst of recuperative magic, restoring part of the health of its attuned wearer. It was also capable of regenerating lost limbs, in a process that took a few days.
Glyndan wears his on his right ring finger.

(Life Magic)

The Celestial Chest

The exact use of the Celestial Chest is unknown, as many of the mechanisms within it have yet to be activated. It is some form of puzzle, that Glyndan has not been able to solve. He received it as a parting gift when he started his life of adventure, and the only thing he has figured out is that it can trap non-corporeal entities within it. He often leaves it at the Bloodrose Headquarters.

(Arcane Magic)

Arcane Grimoire

Glyndan's Grimoire. It not only contains the spells he knows but is also enchanted to protect it from wear and tear, as well as people trying to steal his spells.

(Arcane Magic)

Rot Wand

This wand is imbued with a spell known only as Rot. It emits a purple bolt that causes things to decay.

(Death Magic)

Growth Wand

This wand is imbued with a spell that causes plants to grow from where the green bolt struck. Is the target was already a lant, then the existing plant would grow bigger, but if no plant was present, a random plant would grow.

(Nature/Life Magic)

Skills/Abilities:

Grimoire Spells

Alacritous Interpretation

By lighting an ordinary candle, and muttering an incantation, the caster gains incredible reading abilities while the candle burns. For the duration of the spell, Glyndan gains the ability to read non-magical texts at a rate of 50 pages per minute and have a perfect recollection of any information gained during the spell's duration.
(Arcane Magic)

Injurious Spellbook

The spell transmutes three pages within the grimoire, that are transcribed with this spell, in a way that detaches them from the book. The pages gain razor sharp edges and fly to cut a target. After slicing the target, they return to the grimoire where they reattach.
(Arcane Magic)

Guillotine

By waving his hand, and saying the executioner's prayer, Two ethereal chains bind the victim and pull them to the ground, where a blade appears above their head. The blade rises slowly, and if the victim does not escape in time, the blade falls down and decapitates the victim.
(Arcane Magic)

Eldritch Weave

The Eldritch Weave is mystical energy that Glyndan can manipulate. It is orange in colour, and it manifests physically in a way similar to Dr Strange in the Cinematic universe. Effectively letting Glyndan constructs and bolts out of this arcane energy.

(Arcane Magic)

Glaive of Eldritch Rain

The spell allows Glyndan to summon a mystical throwing glaive that he can control via mental commands. The Glaive can be used as a focus for other spells. Most notable raining down eldritch blasts from above.

(Arcane Magic)

Heroes Reborn: Prime Earth (Superhero/Urban Fantasy: OPEN)

I’m not dealing with this. I’m out. I get what your saying, and while my character does fit the lore you have laid out, I’m not gonna push it. Enjoy your role play.

Heroes Reborn: Prime Earth (Superhero/Urban Fantasy: OPEN)

I don’t want to turn this into a whole thing, but what your saying is down right contradiction. I get not accepting a character for power scaling, but because of a canon science project. That as you said...

“In other words, whether or not the characters themselves exist in this roleplay, the powers and abilities they're known for do. There are still Green Lanterns, still Amazons. You may create a character that possesses these powers (be they canon or an OC), or may invent something entirely new and unique altogether!”

Civilian Name: Ace Johnson
Origin city/Planet: Metropolis
Hometown: New York City
Sex: Male
Race: Genomorph (Half Kryptonian with Meta-Gene)
Height: 6'2
Weight: 230lbs
Age: 32

--------
Costumed Appearance:

The Paladin

Civilian Appearance:

Ace

Icon:

My Hider

Costumed Personality: See civilian personality.
Civilian Personality: Well, ever since having his superhero identity exposed during the “Incident” Ace hasn’t really had much time to keep up the facade of two different personalities so they have blended together.
Super abilities:
-Skills: Gun Kata, Swordsmanship, Marksmanship, Mixology, Computers
-Powers:

Kryptonian Hybrid Physiology - Due to being created with Kryptonian DNA, Ace Johnson is physically better than normal humans. However, he isn’t as strong as a full-blooded Kryptonian, but he is still strong enough to lift heavy vehicles and punch through steel, fast enough to move at subsonic speeds, agile enough to leap over small buildings and dodge supersonic attacks, durable enough to withstand being thrown off tall buildings.
Technopathy - Due to the Meta-Gene that was implanted in Ace's genetic makeup, Ace has developed the power of Technopathy. Sometimes called Technology Manipulation, it is the power that Ace possesses that allows him to control various electronic devices with his mind.

-Gadgets:

Phase Armoury Field Unit

The Phase Armoury is Ace's greatest invention. A series of teleporters set up in a shipping container, with his entire armoury, connected to his suit of armour. The main purpose is to allow The Paladin to call upon his entire arsenal in combat, without having to carry all the weapons. The Field Unit is worn on the inside of his left wrist and is the main control centre for the system. It even has a small laser cutter attached.

Communications System

Worn on the right arm, it is basically an all in one communications array. IT has access to nearly all forms of modern telecommunications networks, and can even tap into secure frequencies.

The Trailblazer

Th trailblazor was a vehicle desinged and built by Ace. It is a three in one vehicle that has land, sea and sky settings. He orginally designed it during his good phase, to sell the patent and create a new sport, but agfter the incident (see bio) no one wanted to buy the patent, and the sport of the moto-triathlon was nothing but an old dream.

-Weapons:

Accessible by Phase Armoury

ASG-12

The ASG-12 is a bulpup tactical shotgun. He has two in his storage container, so can dual wield them in combat.

SMG-115

Ace owns two SMG-115s. It is a .40 calibre sub machine gun.

Black Lotus

The Black Lotus handguns are Ace's most numerous assest. He owns four, two with red handels, two with grey handels. The grey handeled ones are scilenced for covert operations.

Titan Killer Rifle

The Titan Killer Rifle is a .50 calibre sniper rifle that fires armour piercing bullets.

Civilian Occupation: unemployeed.

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Ace was an experiment for Project CADMUS. The genetic company responsible for creating Superboy, and other superhero hyrids, decieded to create Ace as a new, better hero. For the most part it worked. Ace, or The Paladin, as he was branded took the public by storm. He started saving people, and even rebelled against CADMUS to do it. Although the public didn't know about CADMUS. That didn't stop Ace from being a great hero. Ten years ago, he was at the top of his game. He was trending on nearly all forms of social media. He had a TV show, a breakfast cerial and even had a book deal signed up.

Ace was a professonal hero. Famous. Hell, he was putting out more merchandise than any other hero at the time. He became a household name. Beloved by the country, until the incident.
The incident was a altercation with a shapeshifter at a politacl rally. The Shapehifter assumed the identity of a US senator. Ace was forced to make a call, but it was the wrong call. HE shot the real US senator in the face on live television. All his merchandise deals were thrown out the window.
The judge in charge of the case was lenient, and since it was technically the shapeshifter's fault, Ace got off pretty well. Two years in prison, and now the government monitors the activation of his Phase Armoury.
The real damage was the optics. No one wanted to be affiliated with the guy who shot a senator on live TV, so Ace moved to New York, and settled down.
He still does the hero stuff on the side, but it isn't really what he wants. It may have been the wrong reason, but he was a hero for the publicity, now he is doing it for the people.
