Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

BOSS BATTLE!

ENEMY!

• Bandit Leader
• Bandit (Engaged with Trace, +5 EXP upon kill)
• Bandit Archer (Einar +5 EXP)
• Bandit Archer (Branna/Thom +5 EXP)
• Bandit (New!)

Participants

Alnard
Branna @Typical
Trace @Haeo
Thom @Enalais
Einar @Savo

Within moments both the archers were down for the count with a wounded brigand and his beefier superior who was still untouched. He took this opportunity to charge right for Alnard, barreling through not much frankly, as everyone seemed to strut past him for the archers save for Trace, who was experiencing a counter-attack from the bandit he skewered. He would go down quickly after whatever counter-attack he could muster, as he was bleeding profusely from Trace's attack.

The heavy axe of the bandit leader swung down towards Alnard. Knowing he could not hope to defend against it with a sword, he swept back, before delivering a counter-attack with his sword. The oaf moved well enough to avoid a major injury. Yet he smiled as he looked at Alnard. Or rather... He noticed his eyes moving beyond him.

Before he heard the warcry, he heard their heavy steps. Another bandit emerged from one of the houses, dropping a sack as he did, as it seems he was looting the house, and swung for Alnard, who could but block his attack and deliver whatever counter-attack he could.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

The following characters I believe have already escaped, or their players have informed me that they've escaped and were in a position to do so (no post required).

Escapees

William @itano123
Belisende @Yankee
Artemisia @Lugubrious
Sumire @Amaterasu

And the following are ones I think are escaping, but have yet to confirm with me one way or another.

Rin but @Flood keeps wanting to go fight so he'll need to confirm with me.
Kyran @CriticalHit I'm not sure if you've proceeded to the escape point or not.

And so far the only person who has yet to post at all, @Bloodwolf 2. You better step on it because we're pretty close to finishing prologue.

Everyone not listed here should be at the boss fight right now.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Just waiting on @Enalais

Otherwise I'm updating tomorrow when I wake up regardless.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

@Expolar The prologue isn't taking on more players but once we're coming up to Chapter 1 you may join. For now I can inform you chapter 1 favors those of Reynes origins.

Storm Pillar Estate

---

The intense aura Kuuto exuded was not lessened at all by keeping his eyes closed at this meeting, though suppose he would eventually open his eyes, the piercing gaze would lay all bare, or at least it would feel that way. He sat by the old man, the Storm Pillar Minatozaki Arashi had taken him on as Tsuguko. Or rather, he had delayed to answer until he learned more, though upon learning of the kind of encounters involved with the Pillars, he accepted readily. The relationship between the two was distant, as distant as the length of the sky to the earth. Yet there was a certain level of respect he had for the man, as he did for him. So it seems, the two have similar ways of dealing with things.

The proceedings went apace, involving the Spirit Pillar, Crane Pillar, Love Pillar, and Sea Pillar, he has yet to meet any of them, and the types of characters on display here were... Interesting. The River Pillar was a traitor it seems as Arashi had elucidated. Disgraceful. Added to that a student from this estate had run off with them, protecting a demon. An action he found startlingly common starting out as a demon slayer. The deal was the same as always. Yet, this meeting was called, as it was more than just someone protecting a demon. A Pillar had betrayed them, and that made things complex. The verdict was simple, but the action to take, was not.

He was called to observe, and no more. He was explicitly told not to give his judgement unless he was asked. Observe and learn. That was a majority of what his time here was. Less patient demon slayers would have become sick of it already, but staying here in meditation and training had helped hone his senses further. As he was told already, his skills as a swordsman already surpassed a majority of the corps. There was little he needed to learn in that regard.

For now, he observed the proceedings.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

So for the boss fight, just waiting on Branna @Typical and Thom @Enalais

I'll probably update regardless if I don't see anything at the end of this weekend. If I get both before then I'll update immediately.

Kuuto Kirizanten

Kuuto Kirizanten 　「霧斬天　空土」

A g e: 1 9
G e n d e r: Male
B r i e f B i o:
Kuuto was born in a noble class and a demon slaying family, yet strangely the luxuries of such a life were scarcely known to him. For as long as he knew, he was taught to cultivate a calm mind, to which has become habit. Training hard each day, living with his master. He for most of his life has chosen his words carefully, so when he was finally allowed to roam freely, his strange sense of humor would occasionally rise to the surface. He joined the Demon Slayer corps at the age of 14, and has made very few friends, but among those he has made were demons, or at least before they became demons. People he has met throughout training have become demons, but among them one stood out, a young boy no older than he, like many others he too had aspirations, but during his demonhood he held some humanity, trying to starve himself in a cave, but eventually he would lose control over his urges and roam out of there. Kuuto's blade was hesitant up until this moment, killing him quickly, and peacefully. Was it better to kill him sooner while he could call himself a man? Or was sparing him like this the right call? The pure blade of the sky was now clouded in his judgement.

From henceforth, his blade sought greater heights, perhaps seeking an answer to his question. For the later of his teen years he honed his breath style. The potency of his techniques had grown greatly, each step he takes is in his quest to find the answer to his question. Were demons worthy of impartial judgement, or should they be slain mercilessly? Yet each encounter would not give him a solid answer. It was very easy to see all demons as evil, yet his eyes saw something else, yet he could not put his finger on it.

His search had led him to create a name for himself. The Eyes of Judgement. As he honed his skills in his quest, his eyes became able to take the measure of a person from a glance. Yet, as he obtained this skill, his question felt even further away from a conclusion. In this rise of power, a Pillar took notice of his skill, the current Storm Pillar, to be exact. It was far from right to reject his offer, he was unsure if this path would lead him to his answer... But upon learning that the Pillars will encounter powerful demons known as the Twelve Kizuki, his interest was piqued. Would these powerful demons show him the truth he sought?

And so he trains as the Tsuguko to the Storm Pillar. His skill was already far beyond what people would start taking in Tsuguko for, so there was little he needed to do to actually train, it was more learning of the world beyond that of a normal demon slayer. For the time being, he awaits his chance to encounter a Kizuki.

B r e a t h o f t h e S k y

S t y l e D e s c r i p t i o n : The Breath of the Sky is a derivative of the Breath of Thunder. The sky is boundless, unending, and inescapable. It changes with the weather, it can be clear and empty, or be a bulwark that cannot be perceived. While one can predict the weather by watching the sky, nothing can stop it. The Breath of the Sky unleashes powerful moves one after the other that are difficult to defend against. It's main drawback is that it's taxing, and as many are stanced, if the user is airborne then there are few options open to them. The Breath of the Sky requires two feet grounded to the earth, and a blade that shall reach the heavens themselves. Users of this style aim to end engagements very quickly, as they have the tools to do so.

❀ First Form - Empty Sky Horizon 【虚空際】(Kokuusai) : This is an Iaijutsu form. The user does a single high speed slash so quick that it appears as if they did not draw their sword. A perfect slice can cut through a small hill or rock formation. A true master can control exactly what this move cuts. The most deadly aspect is this attack's range, where the final test is to cut the clouds in the sky.

❀ Second Form - Daybreak Flash 【東雲一閃】(Shinonome Issen) : This is an Iaijutsu form. A quick draw slash that angles the glint of the sword to blind opponents momentarily before cutting them down. That aspect works only with Kuuto's sword.

❀ Third Form - Nightfall Shroud 【薄暮陰】(Hakuboin) : The user will walk towards the target. If they are attacked, they will fade away, before appearing at a blink and slicing through the attacker. This move takes advantage of confusion to deliver it's blows.

❀ Fourth Form - Cloudy Sky Sprint 【曇空疾走】(Donkuu Shissou) : This is a form that does not require a sword to execute, but having a sword lets the user attack. Cloudy Sky Sprint is a high speed sprint where the user appears to be disappearing briefly at seemingly random moments, allowing the user to hide their movements or attacks as they approach.

❀ Fifth Form - Pure Sky that Slays Evil 【清浄空悪滅】(Seijoukuu Akumetsu) : A counter-attack from a drawn stance. Holding the sword in front to block an attack. As soon as an attack is blocked, it will be riposted and the attacker will immediately be struck down by several slashes in a single moment. This move is reserved for demons of abhorrent nature that deserve no more than the most brutal retaliation.

❀ Sixth Form - Snow Wind Assault 【雪風強襲】(Yukikaze Kyoushuu) : From a sheathed stance, as soon as the user is attacked they will dash through the opponent, a single high-speed slash will be executed, taking advantage of any opening in the enemy's attack.

❀ Seventh Form - Judgement Cut 【判断切り】(Handangiri) : A sheathed attack that does a series of slashes upon one target from a long range. So fast it appears as if the user had not drawn their blade.

❀ Eighth Form - Soft Breeze and Clear Sky 【軟風晴天】(Nanpuu Seiten) : The user will waltz past the target, and simply in a soft breeze that can be felt even indoors, the target will be slain. A merciful end for demons. There are only 7 base forms in the Sky Form, this one was created after he witnessed a Water Breath user execute their Fifth form.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
N i c h i r i n B l a d e

B l a d e D e s c r i p t i o n : The blade appears a shining, brilliant white. So bright that once drawn, even in minimal light it will glint brilliantly. Once drawn it does not actually shine so much, and glows dully in the shadows. As described when it first formed it's colour, it was like it absorbs and stores light.

O t h e r U n i q u e T r a i t s :

• Known for his sharp eyes that see through even the dark. He has currently honed it to the point of being able to perceive one's true nature, but not necessarily intentions. He can measure a person as good or bad, or somewhere in-between from a glance.
• Has excellent spatial awareness within his sword's reach as a result of training and understanding distance, as part of his breath style's training.
• His hearing is enhanced when his eyes are closed, but this is a conscious effort. Many of his draw techniques are done with his eyes closed. This is another result of training, when learning the counter-attack forms.

If you're not engaged in battle but are escaping just tell me and I'll count it.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

You can do it. It matters more you get yourself in there than to make a good impression. Believe me a good impression is the least of your worries.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Only for RP purposes for the scene. Your loadout will not necessarily change, but also be aware that doing so does give up bonuses available to you depending on what you picked up in the scene.

Also as long as your gear is back to normal at the end I guess.

As for riding and flying, both are separate. They both like heavy armor and weapons can also be mastered. They do have points. Primarily you will be using in-camp training to learn or master them.
