Lunch was going along nicely, Rui came back with a bunch of drinks while everyone was eating, and was distributing them before sitting down and getting more food to eat until the topic of the future came up. That's right, not everyone here was a first or second year, next year was going to be the last year of school for some of them. Rui being in the second year meant he had one more year before he needed to think deeply about it. Some took up trades while others went onto tertiary education. But for the sake of conversation...

"Hmmm, personally I hadn't quite thought about it. But Mako, your grades are pretty good, I'm sure you can do whatever you wanted", he said.

"How about you third years? Anything planned after graduation?", he asked. Sato, Matthew, and Ayano were all third years, and so was Kazumi and Megumi in their own school.

"I'm probably going to enter the police force... I hadn't thought about anything else", as expected of Kami. He had what it took though so no objections.

"Hmmmm... I... I don't know. I'd only begun thinking about it...", Ayano was sort of a NEET before she met with everyone so Rui nor anyone here was surprised. Kazuki was silent, looking away from everyone, but Megumi seemed to have something.

"I've been talking with some of my teachers about medical schools. I'm thinking of becoming a doctor", a little unexpected, but at the same time not. It wasn't hard to see her as a doctor.

The other third years were Sato and Matthew though, did they have something to say or undecided...?

Final Fantasy: Reverence [Spots Open]

As we now have 8 players, the RP will start likely tomorrow, or failing that, the day after. The selection for the Venerated lore campaign will also begin, and players will be selected shortly after the RP begins.

The events of the Venerated Campaign are as such.

"Venerated, to regard with great respect, to revere. The war has reached the cusp of a climax as nations position for their final pushes, a twenty year near-constant war has left most countries in a state of disarray, famine and corruption lay waste to the peoples as they are drained of whatever they have left to power their war machines, and the unnatural fervor granted by the Eidolons, giant statues emanating the newly found Dogma energy powering armies beyond their normal capacity head the armies of the nations. However with none of these nations having the means to destroy these Eidolons, the world is left to rot under the weight of war.

The war was ended when the Iconoclasts appeared seemingly out of nowhere, individuals from many walks of life, and such a small number, yet the power of each individual accounted for almost a whole army. They with a mysterious energy were able to destroy the Eidolons, as well as the Divine Beast that followed after, a result of long years of Dogma energy abuse. After the Divine Beast was defeated, they disappeared.

They are the revered, they are the Venerated. They are the Iconoclasts"

And that's the campaign introduction.

So what entails? Well, it's a lore-building campaign. There is no RPing as the main focus though you will be free to play out some parts if you wish. This campaign covers the events of Venerated, the prequel to Reverence, as well as the prologue for the original concept. Your job is to create one of the 7 Iconoclasts, and then we will refine points of the story and their actions, and perhaps, their weapons or spells will become available for players in Reverence to find and pick up.

That's right, it is entirely possible for our characters to come across their legendary weapons too.

EDIT: I will pick 5 submissions for the Iconoclasts, and the players who pass will be doing the lore building with me for the Venerated campaign. The completed version will be available for everyone to see when it is completed. Do note that these lore campaigns aren't very long, so there's not the most needed to commit, as RPing the events is not what we're doing.

I figure it's safe to say most characters will be attending the same school, or the same two schools as sometimes there are two highschools in the same area, not to mention a junior high also. So while it'll rarely be the direct focus, if characters attend the same school, it's safe to say they'll also talk about school at some points.

It also lends to things like Culture Festival in October, test periods, and so on. I'd wager as onmyou we'll be students by day, and onmyou by night, which sounds pretty fun honestly.

Pardon My Spirits (Yokai and Onmyouji)

Little research never hurt anyone. Besides, RP set in Japan. We're not about to go 4kids on it are we?

Pardon My Spirits (Yokai and Onmyouji)

Actually summer holidays in Japan are one month for students, pretty from the last week of July to usually around the 20th of August depending on day placements. Winter break is the shorter one at 2-3 weeks, that's Christmas and New Year.

The one week holiday you're thinking of is likely Golden Week which is at the end of April and goes into May.

I know I said no one is there yet but Keito is punctual, at least when he's not stopped by something.

Just pretend he's already arrived if you're a newcomer.

@AdmrlStalfos19 You can have one more trait. You only have two.

Thunder, Quake, and Water are out of place, there's no indication in her class that she uses magic, instead I ask you to consider inventions instead that she deploys, such as turrets, drones, and so on.

Every time she uses her sniper rifle she needs to be flung back relative to the power of the shot. She may be a genius but she's still a child and so it'd be more fitting this way.

Meltdown is accepted only if she deploys a device to use it.

Your Battlecruiser is unlocked when we go to Escain, but for now you cannot use it. It's cool though but not something you would have or can use this early, since it relies on something else.

Magidroid extraction is a little problematic. I recommend that every three machines she beats, she gets one LP back, like it's powering her devices and inventions and she gets more power to use the strong stuff. This isn't ao useful early but trust me later it'll be pretty damn good in fights against machines. Escain chapter is basically your oyster with this.

FCS scrambler is 100% chance but only once per encounter.

Fix these up and I'll check over again.

@MysteryBroom Showdown sounds more like an LB2 rather than 3, LB3s tend to be a lot more destructive.

You can just add more later though, just change the value of that one or make it more destructive and you can throw it in. It's not like you can safely use LB3s yet anyways, so don't worry too much about that.

So I've added bits regarding death and stuff.

Combat and Death

[+]

Combat will be generally decided by intelligent usage of what you have. Do note that not everyone is equal, some characters may actually be stronger than others, NPC or not. Meaning you should properly size down your opponents. Throughout the course of the RP you may gain non-leveled bonuses, such as blessings from gods, legendary equipment, or other things.

Some general rules

• You can chain multiple skills together in a single post, (at max 4-5 depending on the skill), but by doing so, the more you chain together, the more vulnerable you will be to attack from your opponent in their following post, so doing this is recommended only for all-out attacks, or when you have the freedom to do so. For an analogy, basically the more skills you chain/commit, the more occupied you are, leaving you unable to be wary or able to respond to counter attacks.
• You start with 3 Limit points at 0 Soul. You get 1 Limit Point for every 2 Soul you have (eg. If you have 4 in your Soul stat, you have a total of 5 Limit Points). Limit Points are used for Limit Break skills, which cost 1-3 LP depending on the level (eg. Level 3 Limit Breaks cost 3 Limit Points).

Next is how death will be treated.

Death is not immediate. In general, you will have 3 Chances. When you lose all 3, you will die, or be out of commission, and may make a new character. There are a few rules however.

• The first two strikes can be triggered by anything sufficient to incapacitate your character. Whether it was your fault, or the actions of someone else.
• Losing a strike will debilitate your character permanently, such as mental trauma, or even losing a limb. This gets added to your "Additional" section in Equipment.
• The third strike can only be lost by your own fault, (ie. doing something incredibly stupid). Though you will still take "strikes" and be hit with a debilitation for each time you would've died.
• You will also still take a new debilitation (up to a max of 4) for each strike you take.
• Do not lose hope however. Should you survive long enough, you will be given a chance to make it into a strength. (ie. If you lost an arm, you get the chance for an artificial arm of some kind with special powers or abilities).

@pkken Aight. Vega's kinda just on the fringe of the square where the announcement occurred. He'll probably head somewhere less crowded soon, so you can choose when to show up.
