Fire Emblem: The Eternal War [ENDED]

For those in Jarde's party I'd like to request a grace period, as Sordan shouldbe showing up soon to help out. Though he's a swordmaster, his thing is assassination so he'll offer new options.

Final Fantasy Reverence [Reboot]

Since we'll be starting with this many, I'd like everyone to tell me what they want to just straight up do and I'll throw you right in rather than mess with VN-like decision-making.

Oh yeah also for newbies we're most active on the Discord.

The War of the Three: Exodus

Muramasa

Location: Ravine > Pyramid

Following the blanket of destruction from Rose Yaeger, there was... Nothing, or at least there seemed to be nothing. Slight, jarring disruptions in the smoldering and smoking ground, filled with craters, debris, and dead oversized scorpions. The ravine became but a blur for him as he passed through, undetected, unopposed. Keeping his output just a few percentage below his stealth's maximum capacity meant his active camouflage wasn't going to be perfect, but with how fast he was moving it didn't really matter. Unless they had advanced sensors, he would only look like a minor glitch or a trick of wind and light.

Soon the ravine would open up, giving way to a ruined road, becoming more and more complete as he sped down it, using whatever cover he could, keeping himself as difficult to detect as possible. His peripherals made out the pyramids, or rather the first, surrounded by a deserted town based on his sensors, but as he got closer he began picking up life forms coming from within the pyramid... Plantlife in abundance? As well as a rather large life form on sensors, perhaps some sort of guardian?

His suspicions were confirmed as soon as he entered the pyramid. It was like walking outside into a jungle, except it was the other way around. Regardless up ahead, a competing faction member was locked in combat, and so he chose to stick to the shadows, maintaining stealth at maximum capabilities... In a place such as this, his abilities in stealth can only get him so far, and direct combat would be risky unless he was assured to win or gain an advantage immediately. The faction member was identified... One of the Demons of Hell, database shows Nina, a dragon, though this was obvious on observation alone, or rather, Dragon King, based on info a sort of race beyond normal dragons. A direct confrontation with her would surely be too risky.

Sordan

Tellian Camp > Heading for Jarde's Party

The whispers of the wind making an ode to the dead as the swordsman stepped among the corpses. Some familiar faces, some not. This at this point was not an unfamiliar sight to him, the wind sang the same ode, whether it was the forest, the plains, or the deserts he called home, it was always deafeningly quiet following a battle, and then soon the crows would come down, or other scavengers, and the ground rots as everyone is returned to the earth.

He entered the Tellian camp tent, the commanders were not present so it would seem, and neither were their bodies. So his peers of similar rank were either safe, on the run, or died but simply away from camp. Well regardless, it didn't make much difference. Still, the normal course of action was to find a way to regroup. So far he was in the dark, and so shedding light on this would be best. Regroup, inform superiors, wait for the next thing to do.

Exiting the tent he began to make his way back down the route, heading back to the campsite he was at previously, and then following the tracks.

Fire Emblem: The Eternal War [ENDED]

It'd just make sense for him to head for Tellius next, so he'd go with Jarde's party then if that's the direction they're headed.

He'll catch up when they run into a battle, but I'll make a post for him heading that way.

Combat and Death

(This is important)

[+]

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).

Valdr

Name: Valdr Eckhart
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Nationality: Karo
Heritage: Raelin/Karo

Personality: Valdr is a chivalrous young man, with a strong sense of justice and a bright demeanor, he’s quick to jump to the aid of others. Throughout his life he’s only lived with his mother in Karo, and didn’t have too much interest in his origins in Raelin until recently. He pursues a life to hone his blade, helping others along the way. Due to his selflessness though, he is often penniless.

Biography: Born to a Karonese mother and Raelinian father, Valdr’s name was picked in honor of his father, someone whom he only briefly remembers from his very first year of life, but no longer remember after that. For some reason any mention of his father blows him out of proportion as if he was some kind of god, so, perhaps he was some kind of great hero? Regardless, this made him quite proud of his father, and so he aimed to become a hero worthy of such a man.

He trained in Karo alongside other samurai, at first learning the way of the samurai, but soon he left on his own adventures after bidding farewell to his mother, whom had taught him Blade Magic. Through his travels he honed these skills, and had adventured around the continent, before finally entering the continent where Raelin was. Perhaps he can find more about his father here…?

-COMBAT-
Level: 25
Class: Bladeweaver - Able to wield any kind of sword and in many different ways, Valdr is a talented swordsman on that alone, but thanks to his mother he was able to learn a Karo magic tree, Blade Magic, allowing him to form blades from his own mana, and even flinging them as if he was casting.
Master of Blades - Proficient with any kind of sword, he can switch between light, medium, and heavy styles depending on the weapon, respectively each giving him 10% in Spd/Dex/Str when using them.
Dual Wield - Valdr can dual wield, and while he does so he can double down on strikes, and even buffs certain skills to have more damage beyond their value.
Blade Storm - Valdr can simultaneously use Technique skills with certain Spellbook skills simultaneously.

STATS -
Strength: 4
Dexterity: 7
Mind: 4
Piety: 0
Speed: 6
Defense: 2
Soul: 2

Equipment:
Main Weapon: Raelin-Style Curved Blade - The sturdy make of Raelin smithwork and the ever-so-slight curve makes this a very versatile weapon.
Off-Hand:
Armor: Raelin-style Light Armor - Comes with a cloak too, looks pretty nice.
Additional: N/A

Skills:

Techniques -
[2S] Bladelash - A flourish with one or two swords that throws an opponent off them. This is a defensive move.

[4S] Power Parry - A parrying strike that aims to attack the opponent’s own swing with the intent to disarm and stagger them.
[5S] Twinblade Smash - A single attack while holding two blades, slams both of them into the opponent at once to deal staggering damage.

[2D] Twin/Quad Slash - A rapid double slash that deals decent damage as his bread and butter. Becomes four strikes while dual wielding.
[3D] Spin Slash - A simple flourishing spin attack that strikes two times as much while dual wielding. A useful skill for creating room to move.
[4D] Windmill Slash - A sideways flourishing spin attack that strikes more times with the intent on damage. Can append into Twinblade Smash.
[5D/Sp] Speed Parry - A rapid parry that avoids the strike while delivery one of his own, moving quickly past them. If this kills the target, he can use Breezing Slash directly after for free.
[6D/Sp] Breezing Slash - A fast-moving slash attack with lethal precision, move quickly while slashing foes as he passes. If he deals a killing or winning blow to the target he can use it again.
[7D] Cross Slash/Star Slash - With one sword he does a cross-shaped double slash, but with two swords he does a cross shaped slash followed by an X slash in two swings using both blades.

Spellbook -
[2M] Mana Throwblade - He is able to swing his sword to throw a slashing beam, this goes to around mid-range before it dissipates.
[2M] Mana Ninja Tools - He can create a myriad of throwing weapons to use.
[3M] Summon Sword - He can create two swords to fly at his opponent, first appearing beside him before they fly.
[4M] Weave Sword - Standard move that creates a standard solid weapon to strike with.
[4M] Patchwork Sword - He uses Weave Sword onto an existing weapon to change it’s shape. This has no effect on weight, but gives this a significant boost in cutting power. He can even use this to repair broken swords until the magic wears off.

Limit Break -
[LB1, 10D] Nitouryu, Nagareboshi - Shooting Star, he moves in and begins a long combo of slashes, weaving and dodging every strike thrown at him during this time. This is either weaving all around a single opponent, or between multiple, before finishing with a single wide cross slash.
[LB1, 10S]Ittouryu, Koshiou Zangeki - Proud Lion King’s Slash, A single slash that strikes multiple opponents in a wide arc. Simple, but it has a pretty large amount of range.

Opportunity -
Perfect Student - He can learn the style of an opponent’s combat in the middle of battle, lending him to knowing how to best counter and deal with it. If the fight has lasted long enough, this kicks in and he becomes harder to strike, while his attacks will find themselves landing more often. This becomes permanent to each opponent he encounters. This is limited to melee combatants.

Final Fantasy Reverence [Reboot]

Following a brutal 20 year long war, ending the use of a now identifiably volatile and unsafe energy nicknamed "Dogma", the world has entered a scientific age of industry, the Industrial Age as scholars have noted it for now. With the emergence of airships as a common form of transport, the invention of the cartridge for firearms already well-known at the time, and the birth of Magitek, has caused society to make leaps and bounds that even it's population fears being left behind. Many however recognize these rapidly changing times as the time to get busy, or truly be left behind.

Your story begins at the cusp of a new age following this era that is about to end. The individuals that will forge the era to come, as heroes, or villains, out of interest, duty, or the thrill of adventure and battle. From the bottom up you will elevate to the levels of legendary heroes and gods, the final frontier of fantasy. Become revered, for your power, for your deeds, or become feared beyond compare.

STRUCTURE

The RP will be structured in parts, separated by the different nations. For example the first part will all take place in Raelin, and then Escain, and then so on. Each part ends when the major story segment ends, and everyone's characters must be moved to the next nation for the start of the next part. After the major story arc for each nation ends, there will be a grace period for everyone to wrap up business or start business that links them to the next nation. Near the end of the each story arc I will inform everyone what the next nation will be.

Though I should not yet worry about that, each story arc is while short in structure, will be expected to last a decent amount of time.
I want to stress the fact that each new nation we go to will be a great chance for people to join, or for you to create a new character.

Just wondering which group would be best for me to tag along. Is there any that needs people?
