Persona - The True Self

I grew up with both, but Pokemon was just more prominent later into my life. Digimon starting to make a comeback in the games section though.

The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

Wow, this is actually quite fitting in the style of Bayonetta and DMC, naming and all. I quite like this.

So it looks fine to me, just make it clearer what level your weapons and styles are at, and then it's completely fine.

I've noticed you don't have any style-specific techniques, so that might be something to think about too.

Otherwise it looks fine and you can add it once you are done.

Persona - The True Self

Corporate War Zone - F1 > F2
21/6/2015 Sunday

The soldiers began to noticeably pour into the trench, but everyone's spells and attacks were bulldozing a way through. In moments the party found themselves in a frantic sprint as soldiers began to drop down into the trenches behind them, and soon they saw the door at the end of the trench. Rui was the first to reach it, pulling it open before entering it along with everyone else, and then there was a silence following the slamming of the door.

The party turned to see what they had just entered... The immediate thought was a prison, as if the steel bars and cells didn't give it away. Everything here seemed to be in some depressing gray, and the sounds of a child crying or speaking some words near inaudible could be heard amongst the silence.

"I'm convinced we're not in a tower...", he said.

"Well, let's keep moving. Ayano, let us know if you detect anything", and with that he led the way.

The party traversed the cells, there were shadows behind some of the cells, but the party recognized them... They were soldiers from the last area. They were very timid, didn't even attempt to fight, not to mention they were unarmed, but pretty soon the party came upon a door at the end of a long hallway of cells... "Solitary". It was open. With nowhere else to advance, they opened the door and stepped into the darkness, and with an echoing click, the lights within the room switch on, and towering above them, was a gigantic shadow in prisoner wear. Handcuffed and unable to attack correctly, the party managed to roll out of the way of it's clumsy advance, but everyone felt it. That power was no joke.

"Another shadow... Ayano, start scanning", he said. As he examined the shadow, he also noticed a door behind it, though locked by chains, it looks like this shadow was barring their way forward.

Play of Control - F1 > F2
21/6/2015 Sunday

Everyone's attacks were dispatching the shadows fairly well, but it didn't change they were still outnumbered. Between Akane's Kill Rush and Noboru's own fists, they weren't reducing their numbers quickly enough, but pretty soon the whole room was ablaze as Matt summoned his Persona and unleashed a Maragilao, decimating all of the shadows that were exposed, and exposing the ones that still had their armour on, which were quickly dispatched by Kazuki.

"Great! I don't detect anymore, good work", the party eased up a bit after hearing that they were clear for the time being.

"Alright then, let's keep moving", Kazuki said, leading onto the next area.

The party came to a set of stairs, with a sign pointing up those stairs, it appears these stairs lead to the theatre according to the sign. It was quite obvious this is where they had to go to advance, so they did, and pretty soon they were walking down the theatre's seats after opening the double doors to them. The stage in front had some dancers upon them, and the seats around them were near empty, but shadowy silhouettes that did nothing would be seated in some random spots... As soon as the party got close to the stage, every single pair of eyes turned to look at them.

The dancers on the stage stopped, and by their eyes too, they were also shadows. Suddenly, a ramp formed at the center of the stage in front of the party, and the floor below them moved quickly like a conveyor belt, until the party was at the very center of the stage, surrounded by the four dancers. It was obvious what this was...

"Four shadows... They seem fairly strong. I'm detecting that they each have different weaknesses. Matthew, the one nearest you is weak to ice, but the one next to it is weak to fire... I'm still scanning the other two though", in any case the battle started, the dancers seemed to summon elemental attacks with their dancing, the one in front of Matthew twirled and flames flew out from it in a beautiful spinning manner, while the other dancers began to prepare their own attacks.

Persona - The True Self

This is fine.

The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

An example character sheet has been added for viewing.

Please check the Character Sheet hider. Will be adding it to the Character section version too.

The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

Name: Sevrin

Hider

Theme Song: Gluttony Fang

Name: Sevrin
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Race: Human?

Faction: N/A

Personality: Resourceful, but a tad cowardly, preferring to avoid battle whenever possible. Sevrin shows to still be a very skilled operative even then. Also quite the talker, he prefers to make others do his bidding. Ever since that night though, he has been a little off than usual, but he doesn’t appear to act or speak all too differently.

Bio: Having distinguished himself as a fine informant and operative when it comes to recon and gather information on demons, Sevrin has risen the ranks of the Demon Hunter’s Association quite handily. Hailing from a rich family that was killed by demons, the exposure to demons never left him, and it became inevitable that he would become a demon hunter.

Years later he has made a name for himself not as a fighter, but as one who would find these demons. Try as he might he wasn’t a fighter, but his ability to find information was uncanny, and his recon skills were some of the best. One night on a lead he encountered a demon, and that was all he remembered of that night.

The demon that possessed the human known as Sevrin originated from the darkest depths of the underworld, behind a giant seal. It has been far too long, and the one who lurks behind this seal has left the minds of many, all but the ones who lived during his time.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
Devourer Murder - Using an aspect of death, a flock of crows, Sevrin is able to use crows to do his bidding, whether it be to scout, eat and gather energy, or fight. This is a demon ability, and has minimal applications in battle.
Wraith Apparition - In combat, Sevrin is able to call forth wraiths to aid his attacks, adding a draining touch and damage. This is applied most in battle.
River Styx - A special mode that taps deeper into his demonic power. It creates a zone around him that drains life force for those within. During this mode the power of any of his demonic attacks are also increased, and the more enemies inside the zone, the more powerful his attacks as he draws directly from them too.

Style:
Phantom [LV2] - A style that’s a whole bag of tricks, employing the use of feints and footwork to evade and set up counter-attacks. At level 1 the style has access to after-images. At level 2 the style has access to active mirages which do actions on their own.

Equipment:
Kerberos [LV2] - A souvenir from his prison in the demon world, after killing a Cerberus demon, different to the one seated within Temen ni Gru, the beast turned into a set of three daggers, all connected by a magical chain that can be materialized freely. The three daggers are all duja ve knives. The knives can be wielded separately as up to three knives, or as similar to the icy Cerberus weapon, as a single Devil Arm.

Level 2 - Unlock Three Beasts Stance

Hydra [LV1] - Gained by killing a demon of the same name, it takes the form of black red armored leggings with golden blades. The weapon has considerable speed and power, and much like the demon it was created from, it has the ability to strike with such speed as if there were multiple attackers.

Yamato [LV--] - Taken during the battle of the Second Seal at the Eidolic Cairn, originally belonging to Nero at the time. Though Sevrin is able to wield it, he unlike it's previous users in the Sparda lineage, cannot make use of it's full potential. Therefore it is locked on the first level. He can still make use of it's ability to theoretically slice through anything.

Techniques:

Demon Powers

• Raven Flock [LV2] - An alternative recovery where he briefly turns into crows to readjust his aerial position. He can counter-attack immediately out of it.
• Slide-Dodge - A different type of dodge-roll, furthermore it doesn't jump if done backwards and can be cancelled midway with basic moves, giving new options for counter-attacks.

Kerberos

• Hell Leash [LV2] - A basic move where he sends out a chain with a pair of jaws at the end. He can latch onto enemies with this, and either pull them to him, or pull himself to them. Level 2 he can use the latching jaws in melee range as a grappling move.
  
  Thresher Maw - A more brutal bite that slams the opponent into the ground, or sends them up into the air.
• Beast Sword - When using slashing moves, he can use his powers to extend their range for reliable melee attacks.
• Three Fang Strike - Three strikes in quick succession with a high launch and power to the third strike. Can be done midair too.
• Beast Crush - Twirls the knives in his hand and sweeps sideways while twirling them, done especially fast. Strikes many times all at once, overpowering most defenses.
• Three Beasts Stance - Upon using this move he will enter a stance that gives him access to one of three moves. This stance can be cancelled, and he can slide-dodge while maintaining this stance, and can use any of the three moves mid-slide-dodge.
  
  Secular Fang - A direct upward wide swing stepping forward, but if done while slide dodging backwards, he maintains his position while avoiding an attack at that instant.
  
  • Material Fang - Steps backwards at the same time as twirling out the knives, throwing enemies into the air with a rising hooked knife swing.
  • Individual Fang - A jumping strike that hits hard vertically, usually slamming enemies into the ground, or pulling them out of the air if they're flying low enough.

Hydra

• Hydrive - Expel a bladed beam for short to mid range with a kick.
  
  Hi-Drive - The same as Hydrive, but jump into the air at the same time.
• Dragonbreak - A diving axe kick, it's especially steep, fast, and has a powerful impact, allowing it to break defenses.
• Aerial Rave - Midair kick combo with acrobatic moves, ending with kicking off of the enemy to jump higher.

Yamato

• Yamato Combo 1 - Unsheathe-strike, followed by two more strikes and then sheathing. Done very quickly.
• Soul Splitter - A chargeable slash, unsheathes and raise blade skyward in a stance, and then slash, slicing the area in front, as well as dealing light to heavy damage depending on charge to whatever is struck by the blade itself.
• The Unjudged - Call forth Yamato in a sheathed state and block an attack. If it is blocked, Sevrin will proceed to dash past them at instantaneous speed while slashing them.

Phantom Style

• Reaper Hop - Right before being struck, do a fast phantasmal dash to the flank of the attacker.
• Mirage Hop - Followed up off of a Reaper Hop, allows the user to do another Reaper Hop while leaving behind a mirage.
• Phantom Twin-Step - Dash backwards and then forwards really quickly while leaving an after-image. This move gives the illusion that the user had never moved, while the attacker’s strike misses. Not as safe as Reaper Hop, but can lead to a grapple.
• Mirage Lash - Jump-dash backwards, throwing knives at the same time while leaving a mirage behind, making it harder to see the knives coming.
• Phantom Rush - Simply send out a mirage to attack directly, deals no damage, but he can use this to completely cover his own advance.
• Shuffle Image - By summoning multiple at once that do sidesteps and evasive moves at the same time as him, he can make it near-impossible to land an intentional strike on him. It can also lead to an unexpected strike.
• Black Dog - From any of the mirage moves, he can have the mirage attack with his Kerberos Hell Leash attack, including every single mirage in Shuffle Image. This can make his Hell Leash advances difficult to read.

Yes, I'd like to join, sorry in advance.

@itano123 Digimon's lame, nerd.

The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

The Archives

Welcome

This RP takes place in a threefold world, combined from the universes of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, and Darksiders. Like them, it is an action-packed story of battle between the forces of light and dark, order and chaos, good and evil...or is it? There’s no telling who’s in the right in this bloody conflict. Heaven and hell are at it again, but this time humanity is not standing idly by to be reduced to cinders in the crossfire. Furthermore, some of the greatest heroes of earth, like Dante, Bayonetta, the Horsemen, and more, are nowhere to be found. Over all of it the Charred Council, an authority of reason and balance, has lost its power; it seeks new blood to try and restore the peace and prevent armageddon by -how else?- slaughtering angels and demons alike on the quest to find answers.

You play as a powerful individual, be it human, angel, demon, or any permutation in between, and after some time to establish your character in Barlour you will be summoned by the Charred Council to make a choice: fight for the peace as agents of the Council, or pursue your own agenda. After that, who knows? This RP will ultimately be plot-driven, but moreso for those who choose to fight for the council. Those who refuse will embark on stories entirely character-driven. Expect over-the-top action, awesome powers, incredible weaponry, and style the likes of which you’ve never seen.

Are you ready? Let’s rock.

MISSIONS BOARD

The Races

Hider

Human: The natives of the earth realm, beings capable of the greatest evil, or the greatest good, making them sought after and making the realm of earth a place that both hell and heaven wish to have dominion over. Humans, while lacking the physical strength of a demon or angel, are often ingenious fighters to make up for it, making them excellent hunters.

Demon: Demons are the native race of hell, they come in all shapes and sizes, and come from many myths and legends, but generally a demon is a supernatural being that possesses superior physical capabilities to that of the average human, and often have access to supernatural powers. Most demons come in a very horrific form, but powerful few are able to take forms that look almost completely or completely human.

Angel: An angel is a divine being from heaven, there are two kinds that exist. The Laguna angels, where many of them appear rather inhuman, gaudy yet horrific and terrifying beings of great power. Then there are the Army of Light angels, the traditional kind, humans with wings and divine powers. Similar to demons though, they all possess superior physical capabilities to the average human.

Half-Demon: Half demons are born of a demon and a human parent, though incredibly rare, possess a form that appears human until they tap into their demonic power. They possess the physical capabilities of a demon, while being consistently humanoid in appearance.

Nephilim: Half demon half angels. Such a combination is impossible by normal means, a Nephilim is born by mixing together the dust and remains of both an angel and a demon, allowing them to give birth to a new being, the Nephilim. They possess abilities both divine and unholy, and similar to both demons and angels, possess superior physical capabilities. They are about twice as large as humans, and exhibit brutal natures.

Cyborg: A cyborg is a human having gone under extensive or minor cybernetic enhancements. The enhancements can often vary, but very consistently have they enhanced their physical capabilities. This allows humans who have become cyborgs to stand even with some of the more powerful demons and angels.

The Three Factions

Hider

Hell

Hell

The Demon World, or Inferno, whichever name takes the speaker’s fancy, is the realm of hell, home to demons. Mundus is the primary ruler of this realm, even after being sealed two thousand years ago, his desire to rule over the human realm has not changed, and he leads an army to march upon it. Queen Sheba also has dominion over demons in this world, second only to Mundus. She is much less an ambitious force than Mundus who seeks conquest.

Heaven

Hierarchy of Laguna

One half of the forces of Heaven, once led by Jubileus. The Hierarchy of Laguna are divine-yet-inhuman-looking beings, with skins of gold and marble, and of all different shapes and sizes. They value order, duty, and devotion above all else. While they appear to be of a finer temperament than their counterparts in Inferno, in reality they are single-minded, stern, and even sinister at times to humanity, with certain high-ranking Laguna expressing outright contempt or scorn for humans. Many of their lesser numbers appear to lack much of a will of their own, relying on more powerful and intelligent of their number for orders. A recent crisis has left them without most of their leadership, so who, if anyone, has risen to assume those positions is unknown at this time.

Lumen Sages

An ancient magical order with an affinity towards light and the sun, and who derive their powers from pacts with beings of Paradiso. While at one time the Sages worked alongside their counterparts, the Umbra Witches, to maintain the world’s balance, the Clan Wars saw them presumably wiped out, with the last known Lumen Sage perishing some centuries after the wars’ end. However, recently those who practice the powers of light have begun to reemerge, somehow surviving into the modern day, and have reorganized the Lumen Sages. Who would do so, and for what purpose, remains a mystery.

Army of Light

Led by Uriel, these soldiers make up the other half of the Heavenly forces, alongside the Hierarchy of Laguna. They resemble winged humans in intricate and advanced armor, and, with the loss of many of Laguna’s commanders, are the de facto leaders and strategists over all of Paradiso’s forces. While they are more sympathetic as a whole to humanity's plight than Laguna or Inferno, their primary interest is protecting Heaven, and will sacrifice or turn against human lives should they believe such actions will further their goals.

Humanity

Gilgamesh Incorporated

In recent years, many humans have learned of the existence of Heaven and Hell, and not just experimented, but excelled. They see the world of mystery and magic as an opportunity, not just for fame and fortune, but for the good of humanity. The conglomerate formed by such parties is Gilgamesh Incorporated, named for the hero of legend who sought the power of the gods, and Gilgamesh Seeks to represent humanity in the war between realms and establish it as an authority equal to heaven and hell. Using state-of-the art technology combined with sorcery to augment themselves and their weapons, Gilgamesh wages war against those who threaten humanity with the Reclaimers, their private army, supplied by companies like the arms manufacturer Regalia.

Order of the Sword

Since the events some time ago with the almost complete destruction of the city of Fortuna, the Order of the Sword has gone under extensive changes. The Ascension Ceremony has been completely changed from it’s demonic original process, to more of a knighting ceremony, and the efforts and technology of the Order of the Sword was simply diverted to researching demonic and newly found, divine power, believing them to be a future threat to mankind, as well as the order. Now led by Kyrie, with Nero as her protector and general.

Demon Hunters Organization

In the shadows of the city, demons are not an uncommon occurrence, always finding some way to slip through the cracks into the human world. This is where the demon hunters come in. They work more like a guild than an organization, jobs get posted up, a demon hunter takes one, or is assigned one if they are urgent and special skills are required. Lady has as of late become one of the top ranking officials for this organization.

Umbra Witches

An ancient society of female magic users who harness the powers of the moon and darkness, and who evoke the powers of Inferno in their techniques. Umbra Witches derive their powers from demonic patrons, and once safeguarded the balance of Light and Dark alongside their counterparts, the Lumen Sages. However, several hundred years of war and Witch Hunts led to their near extinction. Recently, one of the last surviving Umbra Witches, Jeanne, has decided to revive the old ways, and share the Umbran cause amongst new sisters. Only time will tell what these new Witches fight for, and if they can reclaim their former glory.

The Charred Council

Charred Council

Predating the existence of heaven and hell, and perhaps the universe, is this ancient authority. Tucked away in a plane of its own existence, the three Councillors stand in a volcanic crucible, and from there seek to maintain peace and balance over all creation. While the Charred Council has little direct power to do anything itself, its wisdom, precognition, and productive temperament has accumulated a vast amount of respect, followers, and agents, including the Four Horsemen. It was the Council that imposed treaties on heaven and hell to keep the peace, but now that the first seal has been broken and the treaties cast aside, the Council is reeling to regain control over the situation. To that end, its messengers seek new champions of balance.

Points Tally

Hider

Reward System - Gain points to level your Style automatically when doing ‘stylish’ or ‘creative’ moves. Points can still be spent into Style like normal though.

Weapon Upgrade - You can spend points into upgrading your weapon and accessing stronger techniques specific to the weapon. Upgrades from level 1-3.

Technique Upgrade - You can upgrade your existing Techniques into a Level 2 or Level 3 version, which lets you attach more and more powerful properties to them.

Style Upgrade - By upgrading your Style, you gain new aspects of the style, and allow you to use more powerful techniques. For instance level 1 Trickster might grant you faster evasion, but level 2 will grant you agility for wall running and so on, but level 3 gives access to a high-speed teleport. Upgrades from Level 1-S (1, 2, 3, S).

Costs (remember everything starts at level 1)

Weapon Upgrade -
Level 2 (6 points)
Level 3 (9 points)

Technique Upgrade -
Level 2 (2 points)
Level 3 (5 points)

Style Upgrade
Level 2 (9 points)
Level 3 (12 points)
Level S (15 points)

How to gain Points

• Defeating enemies. These must be enemies sent at you by any of the GMs. They can be sent after you involuntarily, or as part of a mission you have chosen to undertake. Depending on number and/or strength of enemies, 1-5 points can be earned.
  Stylish combat. More on judging system later. Basically being stylish in combat will give you free points that level up the Style you use in that battle. Depending on style, 1-3 points can be earned, automatically added to your Style, if your Styles are full, these points can be spent anywhere you like.
• Defeating bosses. There will be two kinds, ones that you will simply encounter, normally the first time you see them they’ll be far too powerful for you to fight and are best avoided, but later they can be hunted down and defeated for a massive bounty of points. Then there are the ones that are thrown at you during your missions, these ones are designed to be a challenge to you, but they can be defeated. You will earn 3-6 points depending on the boss enemy’s strength in comparison to yours.

::Gaining New Styles, Techniques and Weapons::

Techniques can be gained whenever you please, but certain types of techniques will be locked behind your Style level. New Techniques are free, but be sure to run them through a GM first, plus you are not allowed to add new techniques midway through a battle.
New Styles can be obtained for 5 points, but it is recommended that players stick with 1-3, anymore than that, and it gets truly complex.
Gaining new weapons can be free, or cost you something. To gain a weapon for free, you have to earn them, as the weapons you can gain throughout simple progression are existing Devil Arms or other weapons, so you will be limited to those. You can also make new weapons by spending 5 points.
