It'll still happen, but more players would be a bit more motivating. Few players as long as they stick with it is fine too.

This is the discord by the way. discord.gg/YkMEt42

Final Fantasy: Reverence [IC] [OPEN]

Still waiting on those characters.

That said I think I'll get the discord going again. I'll link it soon.

Vega Ashcroft

Vega stopped in his tracks and looked back at Muko incredulously. Seriously? That's the best he can think of? Give the two of them a glance, and you can tell they're not tourists, hell they're both big names as far as some guilds were concerned. He just wanted to get this job over and done with,

"The hell makes you think they'll buy that? Look at yourself, look at both of us", he pointed out. Given Vega himself looked fairly normal without his cloak, which was formed from his magic, same with his scythe, but Muko with the armor... No one was going to buy 'tourist' from seeing that, more like... Mercenary, or you know, mage, like most people would. Why would it be strange if a mage hunter came asking questions anyhow? Isn't that their problem right? He gave it a bit more thought...

"Well how about this wise guy, you go on in ahead of me, you play good cop, I play bad cop, works out right? That's what we basically are anyway, between us two, huh? We're here to hunt some troublesome mage bothering this guild anyways, what difference does it make if they know we're here hunting a mage or not, if anything they'll probably spill it gladly if it means their problem will go away", to Vega this seemed a good idea, at least he didn't have to act halfway nice to get some words, and just let Muko do the talking, and step in if things get a bit fuzzy. Still... That should not be a problem, if the job is everything the old man had described it as, or if this guild hasn't done anything or have some troublesome people in it. Though as that thought passes through his head it's not as if he can say much if there is someone like that, but one man's problem is another man's opportunity so it goes.

@CaptainSully For them to inflict their status effects, they require... 3 Limit Points for Fire Bolt, and 5 for Rain of Fire. Also regarding 2nd class skill, the defense buff only comes into play while wearing any kind of armor, so do keep that in mind. Otherwise looks good.

@Todd Howard Understood, looks good to me then.

I think it's safe for you two to add your characters to the Character section.

Hopefully, we'll have more people rolling in soon enough.

Final Fantasy: Reverence [IC] [OPEN]

@CaptainSully Most gear is just either minimal benefit like the frost resistance or no stat benefit, but they do play a part when playing out combat and will affect some things, otherwise there's no major benefit to regular gear. In your case, heavy armor will mean you'll be better at staying standing when sustaining heavy blows.

As a result your second class skill should be more like, zero penalty plus 10% added defense whenever using heavy armor. Up to you.

In regards to your Wyvern, it's skills will simply be as-is, as in it will not scale off of your stats. They'll be regular attacks your dragon can do, so you can assign it a number, but not a stat. I would maybe suggest making them Limit skills instead.

Next is your Restoring Light skill, that's pretty strong for a skill with value of 4, even if at the start you'll debilitate yourself using it (as per the system), because later on you'll basically be able to spam it. I suggest simply turning it into a healing skill. Revives are not common in this RP and usually reserved for the healers and high casters.

@Todd Howard I am assuming Flash deals no damage, so that does pass in that state.

Hoop is a movement impairment like Heavy right? If so then the same rules of Poison/Seizure/Bleed apply to it, just not for damage, but movement impairment.

Party Panic will require 5 Limit Points for instant Seizure infliction, but otherwise it will mainly be damage that scales when you use it.

I am assuming while singing and dancing, your ability to evade is worsened, but you are instead buffing your team mates. That is acceptable, but it means during this, your Quirky Movement will only benefit you by +2 instead.

Otherwise your character doesn't seem to have any other problems.

Well would you look at that.

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 use Blade Slinger spells while attacking.

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

Equipment:
Main Weapon: Raelin Longsword - A fine weapon on all accounts, other than being unremarkable, it's more or less a good standard for Raelin craftsmanship.
Off-Hand:
Armor: Raelin-style Light Armor - Comes with a cloak too, looks pretty nice.
Additional: N/A

Skills:

- Affected by Dual Wield -
[5Dx/3Sp] Rushing Blade - A dashing attack where he rushes at an opponent and strikes quickly. While dual wielding, strikes twice.
[5Dx/4St] Cross Slash - Two heavy slashes in quick succession. While dual wielding it strikes four times one at a time.
[4Dx] Crescent Spin - A simple spin slash. With two blades it simple strikes multiple times rather than once.

- Blade Slinger -
[3M] Artillery Blades - Projects and then fires blades made of mana, first floating beside him before being sent flying. He can summon up to 6 at a time to do this, and can hold them before letting them go.
[2M] Blade Projection - He can project a blade into his offhand.
[2M] Blade Reinforcement - He can project a reinforcement around any weapon he wields, allowing him to change it's type and size.
[6M] Restraining Blades - He can summon blades to imbed themselves into targets to interfere or lock into their joints and prevent movement. The way this is done is to weave the blades thinly so that they weave around and into the opponents while dealing minimal damage.

[5M] Revolver Action - He can fire off the up to 6 Artillery Blades more quickly if he decides to pull them to the front, allowing him to fire them off in rapid succession, rather than just one at a time.
Empty Stance - He can take a stance, if he is struck in this moment, he can evade the attack and move to a flanking position.

- Legacy -
[7Dx/6M] Tech Action - He can repeat the swordsmanship of a previous opponent once per opponent he has repeated a skill of. This allows him to use their skill directly just once during each engagement. He will also of course, form their weapon with his magic when he does this.

Limit Break -
Bladestorm, Howling Star - He'll form two especially powerful blades, in such that they do not have a tangible form, but are leaking and oozing with mana, as well as a large array of Artillery Blades, and then he just rips into a single or multiple targets with a huge barrage of slashes. The more points he uses, the more blades there are, and the more opponents he can hit with this.

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 [IC] [OPEN]

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.

The Three Realms War [Act II] [DMC/Bayonetta/Darksiders Crossover]

Unlikely Defense

@Zarkun@Lmpkio@Lugubrious

The approaching Assaults were taken down fairly easily... Or so it seemed, as their bodies were chunked, they kept moving with unchanging ferocity. Even missing a head they continued onwards. On the other hand, compared the precision-based solutions of Gideon, the more brutal solutions of Wrath and Souta were more effective at stopping them. Their bodies split in two, still moving, were considerably slower, and Souta almost completely shattered the one that chose to rush him, decidedly ending it, while Wrath and Gideon were left to either finish off what was left.

They had to finish them quickly though, the larger one with the same corruption was beginning to edge out of the forest, though it's mass seemed more like mashed up flesh then a coherent beast. Yet here it was, somehow a coherent beast. Regardless it seems they've found out something about how these beasts work... One thing was clear though, they were most certainly already dead, and moving purely with just what they assume is Vega's demonic power.

Into the Deep Blue Sky

@kapuchu@Lmpkio

Despite their... Contrasting powers, and their differences, the angel and demon's attacks were more than simply effective. The flash freeze and flash fire following it, with the force and penetration of the spears caused a majority of the golem to shatter spectacularly, in a flurry of frozen stone, or molten rock. Those closer would even be met with a great shockwave to blast them back, and enough to cause the party to falter, yet it was a very decisive strike, leaving the core of the golem more than simply vulnerable, almost entirely exposed and even a bit damaged by the blast itself. There was ample time to finish it off here. The shockwave knocking away even some stones it would've used to reconstitute itself.

Yet of course, they couldn't become complacent, this golem was essentially immortal until it's core was exposed, and while they could do the same thing again, it was a pretty specific setup. Had they used a different combination of attacks, they probably could not replicate this.

Putting the Scraps Together

@ConteAmarula@Lazo

The men on the walls with their guns just watched in awe as the two demons below, not only fighting each other for kills, also massacred the oncoming demons... Many of which with jaws open and were too transfixed on watching the carnage...

"What are you all doing?! Give them covering fire!", the soldiers snapped out of it and fired at demons on the outliers. As they learned from previous charges, aim to stop them first, because it seems they can continue on without heads or even most of their bodies. Which didn't really mater at all to Mavvlosia and Fenn, who completely with their attacks obliterated their targets. The rapid ripping and powerful strikes of the female demon, and the hellhound whose jaws and claws shredded anything they came into contact with. It was a beautifully brutal display. Truly they were some of the top demons Hell had to offer.

Soon the waves would approach the other parts of the wall and they would need to adjust, not too much of a problem, as the horde began to wane.

Fenn however would charge deeper into the forests ahead, on the trail of a familiar scent, yet as he did and pursued, striking down demons, he would find nothing but the truth to how these demons were formed. Coming into a clearing, there were a large number of slain demons, fresh, very fresh. Yet amidst their blood, he could not tell where the scent of Vega led anymore, just that he was here. Before he could dismiss this and head back, he noticed that the corpses left behind began to stand up, the familiar, purple energy rising up from them before wrapping and taking the place of their wounds, reconstituting them... It was clear to Fenn now what and who was responsible for these unique abominations. Yet as he watched them he heard shrieks amidst the trees... Another wave was coming for the wall. He could head back now and help with the defense, or slaughter these fresh ones, yet there were many, and that may take some time.

Repentance

@Lmpkio

Sevrin stepped back to give Ferrus some room as he watched him make his decision. So he would charge Vega head on? Personally, Sevrin had no idea how strong he was at all. He could simply be speaking big, but based on evidence, it can be assumed that Vega has sufficient demonic power restored to go into direct confrontations, and without any of the limitations of a physical body to boot, very different from when Sevrin was possessed. During which, he was both weak in demonic power, and was limited by his body's strength. Relying mainly on the Devil Arms he had stolen to fight on par with others. Here though...

As Ferrus made his charge, the demons were set back, screeching with rage as a molten wall forced them to step away. Vega gave an amused face before his visage was erased by the flaming angel's blasts of fire, sent straight from his sword. Dust blew up around him, it seemed to work, for a moment, until Vega's voice rang out,

"Hahahahaah! I like you! So you're gonna pay for the meal yourself, what a gentleman", the dust cleared in an instant as what appeared to be a jet black wing flapped it away, called forth by Vega, before disappearing. Though black... It was clearly that of an angel's, and not like the demons who imitate the visage of angels either. There was no time to properly confirm this, as it was only visible for but a short glimpse, disappearing into his cloak.

As soon as Ferrus was back in stance, the demons he had warded off earlier were jumping him. Before he could respond himself, they were soundly slashed out of the air. It was Sevrin, having jumped into the air with Kerberos and slashing them with the knives.

"I'll take care of them, you just... Try not to get us killed", Sevrin clearly thought this was a bad idea, but it'd be worse to leave Ferrus behind. Afterall doing so would also put him under great suspicion, coming back alone and all. He sighed briefly before he prepared himself for the rest.

"Kuahahahahaha! Well then you heard the man, try not to get yourselves killed", Vega raised a hand at Ferrus, beckoning him tauntingly.

This is so far what it will be for status effects and leveling. It is subject to having more added between chapters to balance things in case something gets out of hand in that chapter, so keep that in mind.
