UNFAIR MONSTERS [Spots Open]

Liam

“Oh, great. Of course it has final gambit move.”

Liam grumbles a bit as the beast before him body seemingly began to shift. His head tilting out behind the current tree he was taking cover with, he could see the flailing monster’s spikes starting to shift across his body. He at first thought it was going to try and porcupine it up defensively. However, that thought was trashed the moment one of the spikes shot off the beasts back, embedding itself into the tree he was behind. The sharp point bursting through were his head was just mere seconds before.

“Staying here is a go then. If we can’t stop it from shooting off more of them…”as he speaks this, an idea forms in his head. It was perhaps rather risky… no, it certainly was. But at the current rate, it’s likely he or even one of the others could find themselves impaled if this keeps up. So in his desperation idea, he bailed out from behind the tree. Running to keep ahead of the spikes after him, he wills his chains to shoot up towards the beast. Deflecting some of the spikes as they rush onward, the ends look as if they were going to overshoot the monster. But once passing over, their direction changed, heading around the monster instead of passing over.

Over and over. Round and round. The chains rapidly began to wrap around the beast. As they tightened, the spikes they were over found themselves stuck against the very back they were supposed to shoot off of. With the number of spikes now limited, Liam takes hold of the chains. Though Liam doubted his physical strength added much to them, he could almost feel like a bit of his stamina was returning to him. Maybe there was more to these chains of his than he originally thought, as strange colors seemed to move from the chains down to him from the direction of the monster.

“I’ve limited its attack spread!” He calls aloud to the others. “If I may suggest that if you got an opening, now would be the time to take it!”

Sorry, had to go out to a wedding. I’ll try to work in a post tomorrow though!

Liam

Liam was feeling the adrenaline pumping now. Even though his attack didn’t appear to damage it much as he could see, just seeing them slam into the beast and distract it from attacking the girl before in front of it felt pretty good. And with the other guy’s follow up attack of that weird but effective red looking stuff, Liam’s mind thought towards finishing this quickly.

Of course, it seemed he would end up jinxing himself with this thought, as the beast then surprised him by diving into the earth below, vanishing from sight. “Oh come on!” He lets out an exasperated tone. “Can’t you just stay on the surf-“

His sentence was cut off as the beast not long after diving below the earth resurfaced. And not just anywhere, but close to him! To make matters worse, it seemed that, judging by it spinning at him as it did, it was making a beeline straight at him.

“Ahaha… I’m in danger…”

As if in instinctual response, the chain on his right side hurled itself to the side, as the ball at the end transformed into a spear head like implement and struck into a nearby tree in the woods. When the beast seemed nearly upon him, Liam this time found himself pulled by the chain towards the tree to his right, dodging what certainly could have proven a devastating blow.

“Seems it’s focused on me currently!” He calls out to those others fighting said monster with him. “I could really use some assistance here!” He added, as the one spear head chain popped out of the tree and he prepared both to do the same again to another tree of it continued its charge rolling at him.

Liam

As Liam was coming close to conquering the boss upon his screen, the calming atmosphere was broken as a mass of people screaming could be heard coming from deeper in the park. Looking up, he can see some of them running his direction, fear quite evident upon their faces as they approach. But what really got his attention from them was what they were yelling about. All of them making mention of a beast. A monster.

And they were coming from where that light still rested in the sky.

Quickly returning his handheld to its case and placing it back into his bag, Liam with little thought began to run against the tide of frightened citizens made haste towards the light and whatever this “monster” is. It wasn’t long before he came across the field below the light. And it only took a moment more to see that the screams of a monster were indeed not an exaggeration. There was an honest to god massive beast was here! In reality!

His eyes then caught motion going on around the large beast. Not only was there the monster, he realized there was, in fact, people already fighting it too! From what he could see, it appeared as two girls and a guy had already engaged it. And not just that. It looked like they were actually putting up a fight with strange powers of their own, if the fire and weird streaks being used by the people were any indication.

As the fight continued in front of him, Liam’s mind raced. He should, by all accounts, be fleeing away from such a terror. No one could fault him on it. But Liam could feel it at his very core. He could fight this thing. He HAD to help fight it. Liam grimaced as he looked at his hands. How the hell is he supposed to fight lik-

Rattle, Rattle.

The sound of metallic chains sounded in his ears. He glanced around at the strange sound, only to realize it had come from in front of him. From his very arms no less, as two chains began to unfurl out of them. Strangely, Liam found he wasn't bothered by their sudden appearance. They felt like… they were part of him. He couldn’t explain it. Not that he had the time to, What with the fight going on before him.

Instinctively, the chains that came hovering out of his arms and seemed to align with his eyes on the monster. He also took note that at the ends of both chains sat a considerable sized metal ball. He had no doubt it had weight to them either. If they could fall upon the beast perhaps…

It was then the chains, upon this very thought, shot into the sky up over the beast. As they reached what he felt was the right spot, his arms grabbed at the new seemingly magical chains and reacted by immediately motioning his arms with them into a slamming motion. And they responded as he had envisioned, as the two weighted masses slammed into the beast's back.

Liam couldn’t help but grin to himself at this as adrenaline began to run in his veins. He really could fight like this! And as the chains retracted rapidly back to him, he was ready to take a stand against the beast with those others and protect the civilians still fleeing.

Is this what it’s like to feel like a hero, I wonder?

Liam

How long has it been since I was last here? Finding himself sitting alone on one of the various park benches, Liam keeps himself occupied by looking between the various people here and the game device in his hands, currently paused. He lets out a silent sigh as he reminds himself why he broke his normal routine to stop at Cherubim Park today.

His gaze shifted above him to the sky. Once again, he can make out a strange light, high over the park. Part of him is still not sure if he isn’t just seeing things, as those that he can see currently around him seem to be giving no indication that the strange light is even there. He contemplates leaving, but the curiosity of the light is too much to simply just ignore. But as nothing had yet come out of his waiting here, he returns his focus for the time being to the boss battle on his screen.

This should be a walk in the park! He smirked a bit at his own sense of humor, before diving into the fight.

Just for clarification, were we all told to meet here or are we all to be here by coincidence? Just to know how I should word my post.

UNFAIR MONSTERS [Spots Open]

Liam Watson

Character Sheets

Name: Liam Watson
Age: 18

Appearance:


Secret Wish:

Liam Secret

Liam wants deep down to find that special girl that will truly love and accept him.

Background: When he was younger, Liam was just another average kid. He had two parents that loved him, lived in a nice condo, and had some friends. He was happy. But that all changed following the accident back when he was 14, where he lost both his parents and found himself alone. Luckily for him, his parents had sizable money saved up in investments and had life insurance policies on themselves. As such, the bills and condo have been paid over these years from those funds.

Even so, the loss of his family took a toll on him, shutting himself off from the world and others for some time. Most days after school was him going back home and locking himself in, where he would throw himself into either playing video games or read manga. He has come to terms (mostly) about his parents death in recent years, but his past having chained him down for so long has him stuck in a rut of trying to get back into society and connecting with others.

Monster Fighting Abilities:
-Enchanted Chains: Seemingly coming from around his forearms, Liam can send out chains that he can manipulate to attack or hinder foes. He can manipulate them up to a range of 20 meters.

-Transforming Chain Ball: At the end of the chains, there’s usually a round, steel weighted ball, used for easily wrapping the chain around or for bludgeoning opponents. Liam, however, can have the ball change shape to fit his needs (I.E. sharp spear tip for piercing, grapple claw for climbing, etc.).

-Sapper: When Liam successfully wraps his chain(s) around an opponent, he can sap the strength/energy from the entrapped foe(s), and in turn weaken them. On top of that, he can even recover some of it back to himself if he retains a hold on the chain in the process.

UNFAIR MONSTERS [Accepting New Applicants]

Oh hey, it’s nice to see this is getting another attempt! I had a character for the last one, so would it be fine to use him again if I’m accepted?

War Against Witches

I find this setting quite intriguing.
