Alaric and Arghast are going to be besties, I can tell.

Btw! Segata Sanshiro? XD

Weird Science Vs The Power of the Soul [A multiversal war RP]

Sorry if I take a while, It may still take a couple days, but I'm dealing with some 'family in the hospital' things while doing this, honestly it's a healthy distraction from thinking about certain things, but yeah, it's fairly distracting...

Seekers of the First Flame

Quite suddenly there was a sound of rushing air in the night, perhaps nothing of note given that there were darkly colored animals that would fly under cover of the night, as well as the occasional wind that would muddle such sounds from listeners. No, what mattered more was that this mix of whooshing air and flapping wings was accompanied by a voice... A voice that proclaimed 'wooooOOOOO!' as it came closer very quickly "OOOO-WHUD!" only to suddenly terminate as something white impacted the ground just on the other side of the nearby well. "Ow..." Then the figure sprung to their feet and called out "Your aim's getting better!" before making some sort of throwing motion, though aside from being a bag it'd be hard to guess in the middle of the night just what might have been thrown, but the next moment brought more air and wings and a short caw as something caught it then fluttered off somewhere.

Finally they turned to the bonfire and started calmly walking towards the group "Heh, he acts all hard, but he's a nice bird... Oh, wall lookeh hear, strengers!" His accent changed completely as soon as he'd noticed the group, though he continued right on until he sat himself down to collect a bowl... or more accurately, he rolled the over-sized bow of of his back and jammed it's pointed end into the ground and perched himself amidst it's strong chords in a sitting position. "Aye, whut a motleh crew ye'all ar!... M'ah interupt'n anythin?" what an odd-ball this must be, though perhaps strangest was the helmet that seemed to be an eye that stared at everyone at once, or more accurately, seemed to stare back at anyone who actually looked at 'it'.

Seekers of the First Flame

Name – Astavyastamaina marpunu [He just goes by Asta]
Age – Unknown
Gender – Male
Sexuality – Undefined
Appearance – He's a rather odd looking person, seemingly not an inch of his body is actually visible, fairly tall and covered from head to knee's in a strangely fibrous looking white material that appears to be done up in a cloak of sorts. There is clearly something worn under it, as there are thick leather sleeves protruding from it, though they look needlessly wide and they terminate in a pair of gauntlets that are attached to the sleeve's outer edges and almost seem as if they are sealing them. These gauntlets appear to be made of some form of chitinous material, as if they were made from the pieces of some over-sized bug monster, the boots might be similar, though there is some slightly obscuring mist lingering at the base of his cloak that blurs the view beneath it.

More note-worthy still is the helmet, also wrapped in the strange white stuff and comprised of a large green orb whose surface creates the illusion of a giant eye that turns in whichever direction it is viewed from.

Land of Origin – He doesn't remember where he came from before.
Covenant – Marpu yokka margam [The path of Change]
Personality – Asta comes across as a bit of a loon, not a violent one, just a real odd-ball, with strange mannerisms and an equally strange language that joins his speech from time to time. He often seems to take nothing as seriously as anyone he meets, but the smart traveler of Lordran would easily consider that, like countless other things in this land, there is more to him than meets the eye.

He bears strong beliefs about the undeadening, some which differ intensely from most groups and, while he may not have personal problems against certain groups, some of them may have issues with 'him', particularly since he is not shy about sharing his strange philosophy with whoever will listen, though he still refrains from wanton preaching.

Arsenal –

arsenal

Bone greatbow - An almost comically large bow, formed of surprisingly flexible bones from some unknown creatures, with skulls of some other creatures used for aiming purposes. It is surprisingly durable for it's rickety appearance.

Bone Great Arrows - Giant Arrows made from the bones of some large creatures, shaped similar to lances and useless on anything less than a great bow, can also be used in melee if one doesn't mind something being more fragile than a proper weapon.

Screen of Marpu - The strange helmet worn by a mysterious man, the unusual shaping of it's giant crystal eye, though appearing solid from the outside, provides the wearer with a refracted view that shows all before him, allowing unhindered vision despite being a full helmet. It also has the added effect of being remarkably creepy to the onlooker.

Fibrous Cloak - A cloak made of an unknown fibrous material, though it appears fragile, it is surprisingly effective at 'catching' sharp objects such as arrows or lighter swords and appears to be resistant to Fire, Electrical currents, and Cold weather. It can in-fact be used to store small objects or light weapons by setting them amidst the odd material.

Gauntlets and Sabatons of Marpu - A Similar set of gauntlets and boots that appear to be made from the remains of some giant insect, fashioned into clawed hand protectors and sharpened boots, they are useful for climbing and clinging, as well as improvised melee, while the boots seem to exude a strange mist that the sounds of contact with various surfaces. It is possible that, like their wearer, there is more to these things than what is visible on the surface.

Magical Traits –

magic details

Pyromancy Imitation? - There are several spells he uses that resemble known pyromancy spells, namely, Combustion, flash sweat, acid surge, power within, poison mist, and Iron flesh. One might note that his use of combustion actually burns the armor of the hand he uses it from, yet his own acid and poison used don't seem to bother 'him'. There are also a few that don't resemble pyromancy, but lay unknown in the category below.

Paragon of Change - Little is known about this strange power, one needs to see it for themselves to grasp it, and even then they may not realize what it means. [There's several things under this category I would use, I'll detail them when Asta reveals them =3 but they won't even be relevant until then.]

Biography – He doesn't remember where he came from, and only a few tidbits of who he used to be that he decided were worth recreating, mainly some personality traits, especially those that set the foundation for his philosophy, skills, and useful knowledge. Otherwise, he considers his 'old self' to be dead and gone in favor of the new self, in standing with his philosophy, the process of becoming undead was simply the death of his old life, which he released to oblivious in favor of going head-long into forging a new life, one full of change rediscovery.

He does not view the undeadening as a curse, but simply another stage in life that gives him the chance to become a whole new person! In fact, he came to Lordran seeking adventure, and prophecies tended to be great guides to finding exactly that! The interesting people sure don't hurt the experience either.

What he 'does' remember is that since becoming undead, he has never felt freer, letting the old slip away in order to discover the new, ever changing as he forges new memories, finds new knowledge, and learns new skills to play with... He can't imagine why anyone would be afraid of new things!

@ShoryuThats right. I remember him now. I dont regularly read the comic, but I do watch this at least once a day.

@Nobodyman123

oh god yes, he's fucking hilarious xD here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-UkXAFbYZU

Ah yes, you did.

I did read through it, I just forgot to mention that it was accepted in my last post.

Woops. Well it's accepted :D

@Leslie Hall

oh yey! :D post coming then >3>

Seekers of the First Flame

@Shoryu Is that an MLP thing? I don't watch it :/

@Nobodyman123

Actually, no, or maybe yes 'and' no XD Richard the warlock is from a comic called LFG, he's a crazy undead warlock who is essentially 4th wall breaking comic relief and total badass rolled into one, and his battlecry is 'FOR PONY!'... It 'might' be an mlp reference? I never looked into it, i just thought it was funny, thuogh Richard is badass enough to like ponies without being acused of being girly XD

also

I was intending to wait until all the other characters are finished as well.

My friends and I just started playing Aion, so between that and the luxury of a casual job I've got a bit to keep me occupied.

Also ofcoarse we can have horses. Any animal for that matter. As a rule of thumb, I rarely say "no" to anything that isn't ludicrous or just obviously doesn't make sense in the context of the roleplay. Please don't fear me as the GM shutting down ideas instantly, I want everyone to have the creative freedom to decide what their character does in this rp.

I honestly can't stand rps where the gm is just a gigantic puppeteer, pulling all the characters along in a predetermined destination. It just takes away the element of surprise and exploration; which are very important for a dark souls based project imo

@Leslie Hall

I posted a CS on page 4! :D

Seekers of the First Flame

Working on my post, and I had two questions for you people.

1. For@IndianGiver, I was going to have Alaric react to Arghast, but I know that wasn't what you had in mind. Do you care if I do or should I wait?

2. Can we all agree that horses exist in Dark Souls? I see their carcasses in the game, but I didn't want to write a post about it and have someone go NO HORSES YOU SCRUB!

@Nobodyman123

Why not go all the way and make it PONIES?! Then I could imitate Richard the Warlock and shout 'FOR PONY!' as a battlecry... nah I'm kidding, though Richard is bloody hilarious either way.

Weird Science Vs The Power of the Soul [A multiversal war RP]

oh hey, scion and knighthawk, I remember you guys from the old days of RPguild XD and it's no problem, I've been on a long hiatus myself, though I was certainly waiting for some interest to appear before I went through with the bulk of the work on the RP.

also, geez scion, i keep seeing that creepy ass Twilight in more and more places lately XD

Lost Planet style RP. Survival in the cold.

Oh cool, a lost planet kinda thing :D I adore lost planet.

How does a steampunk Fire Emblem roleplay sound?
