@HaleyTheRandom

Let's see:

Zhou + Delia = why don't you just use a nuclear missle instead? It'd be less explosive.

And Liviana + Karma = Haley you have no soul take pity on the poor girl why don't you oh wait you can't you have no soul.

Blood, Riches and Glory: Ghosts of Iron Coast

@AtomicNut You worry about Pyria's murder switch, but Luca just awakened Sarai's "S" side.

Blood, Riches and Glory: Ghosts of Iron Coast

~Sarai~

Location: Actium

Life was a funny thing, mused Sarai. It took so many shapes and forms, and even then could be changed depending on the situation. Take Pyria for example: at one moment, a little girl, the next, a veritable beacon of power that she had no comparison for. The same held true to a lesser extent for Luca: so unassuming, a little naive even - great fun to tease, certainly - and with the delicate and pretty looks of a woman, but as she looked down to where he had planted his staff on the ground, she watched the ice spread and knew that he was more than what he seemed. Then there were the newcomers. The Lamia and the swordsman, as different as night and day, yet, as thick as thieves otherwise.

The smile on Sarai's face made apparent the gentle amusement she took in watching the scene before her unfold. Her mind wandered to what kind of lives these people had led, and wandered further still to the day they all died. How would their deaths come about? What shape would they take, in the end? Perhaps even a mighty dragon might suffer the same ignoble death of a slave - how chaotic yet bright life was, and in turn, how simple, yet murky death would be in turn.

Taking a few steps away from the ruckus, Sarai took in the scene as a whole. It was all the more perfect when she was not involved, and yet . . .

With a light hop, Sarai returned to her place beside Luca, a soft and placating smile on her face. "Listen everyone, Luca is right. We should all calm down - there's plenty enough for everyone to enjoy a nice, hot meal!" she said placing a hand on Luca's shoulder. "In fact, why not help yourselves to double servings? What better way to celebrate Little Pyria's new-found freedom with a small feast?"

Of course, Sarai was fully aware of the kind of toll that would take on his funds, but suggested in nonetheless. Oh, she fully intended to reimburse him with her own funds afterwards, but seeing his reaction to her jest about his relationship with Pyria . . . that raw, undisguised horror at the implication that he was having a sexual relationship with a child made her realizing something:

That for all that he was a member of one of the most notorious religions of death, Luca was so, incredibly, amazingly, impossibly sheltered!

And Sarai, for her part, found that to be just adorable. Too adorable to pass up on.

Is this what they call . . . teasing? Yes, I quite think that it is, and I think I like it.

| Thorn |

Location: Iron Forest

There were very few times in life - and death - that Thorn was honestly, genuinely surprised; the surprise that could send electricity down your spine and leave you paralyzed, unable to think, unable to move. The amount of times that he had experienced this exact feeling could be counted on a single hand. Thomas was a person who expected the worse outcome, but never despaired that it could not get better. It was a mindset that came useful in his life as a soldier. When he died, Thorn inherited this way of thinking, albeit more subdued and gloom in nature. Now, the words that came from Ramius's mouth caused an addition to those rare moments.

As soon as he revealed the identity of the man he was pursuing, Thorn's mind was flooded of images. Images of the past, filled with noble battles and glorious conquests, and of a time when Thorn did not exist. A hand crawled its way towards his face, running through his hair as he shook with the weight of a lifetime of memories crashing upon him. And for a single moment, he was silent.

KILL THE UNDEAD!

"Grk!" With titanic effort, Thorn willed himself back to the present and drowned out the roaring voice of Thomas. Lifting a raised fist, he quickly brought it up to his face, the force from the blow shaking his head and clearing his mind.

"Apologies . . . simply a lapse in judgement," his tone made it apparent that he wouldn't be explaining the reasons for his actions. Shaking his head, he stared straight into the eyes of Ramius. "That was unexpected. Of all people who I thought you'd be targeting, I did not expect him."

Certainly, many undead had a reason to be bitter and resentful of him, but those that could still feel emotion and think with a sliver of rationality had more things on their mind than revenge against a withered husk of the dead Emperor Axis. Thorn himself did not feel any resentment for the man; in the end, he became just as much a victim as they were, perhaps even worse of, as he would have to carry the burden of his shame for years to come.

And yet, at the thought, with the help of Ramius, that he could face this man again, a feeling rose up. It was an emotion he was familiar with, and yet, had also long forgotten. No, it was not even the emotion of it that he recalled, but the ghost of it. It was a feeling that brought him close to laughter; an action he had not experienced in decades. It did not bring him there, but it was close, very close.

"Now that I know who your quarry is Sir Ramius, what else can there be done but to accept?"

The Killing Club (Assassin School RP)

A lone figure walked passed the mobs of excited students, uncaring, unknown, and unnoticed. His face was a mask of utter focus; serious, controlled, but not detached. He dodged groups of students while still keeping his eyes trained on the object in his hands. He riffled through its pages, staring at each new page with increasing intensity. Then, slowly, ever so slowly, a smile formed on his lips.

"There's nothing like reading some good porn in the morning~!" he sighed happily, much to the disgust and shock of students who were close enough to hear him. He paid no mind to their baleful stares, however, and continued about his business, unconcerned about how he looked.

"Oh I was so nervous about having to transfer to a new school, but you really do calm me down, don't you *Kumi-chan~"
^{* The name of this pornstar has no relation whatsoever to real people living or dead, and is purely a work of fiction}
"Wait, calm down seems a bit wrong . . . er, I guess it's just I get so 'excited' that I forget I'm nervous? Bah, who cares."

Amidst his talking to himself, however, was the fact that people had now stopped paying attention to him - no, they were not ignoring him, Koshitsuji Gisei had simply fallen out of their perception. With complete and total serenity, Gisei walked towards his dorm room; he didn't know if he would have a roommate yet, but he was informed that for now, he would be completely alone here.

"Welp, here's home sweet home then!" his sigh, devoid of any actual emotion, echoed through the empty room.

I'm gonna post once a good number of people have posted already; I figure that it would be more fun that way :D

Academy of Noble Arms

@GingerBoi123 yep, so long as it's a weapon Pre-World War I.
Casual Interest Check

Academy of Noble Arms

Noble Arms. A mysterious power that surfaced during the twilight of World War II - a fact that even today have made many sigh in relief; for the power that Noble Arms lent to its master would have undoubtedly made the already destructive conflict so much more terrible. At present time, institutions have been founded in order to control the rapidly surfacing ability to summon powerful weapons - weapons that could, to the bafflement of scientists today, disregard the laws of physics.

Noble Arms are tools that are innate in the users mind, and summoned by their will into reality. For reasons that still cannot be explained despite years of research, Noble Arms only take the form of weapons from before the First World War, however, despite the antiquity of these forms, the power they bare to the battlefield is unlike anything modern technology has been able to produce.

The ability to manipulate the elements to the users will.

Force that can reduce matter down to atoms in seconds.

The strength to withstand the explosion of a nuclear missile.

All of these powers and more still have surfaced along side Noble Arms, and the ones who bare them, the Arms Masters, are sought after by countries all around the world. Where once the strength of a country was decided by the technological strength of their Army, it is now judge by the power of their Arms Masters.

It is now 2015, and the tradition of Arms Masters has been deeply established in society. There are academy's, school's, and programs dedicated to advancing the abilities of Arms Masters for the sake of their country. Truly, there can be no doubt as to the influence that Arms Masters and Noble Arms holds in today's generation.

Focus now on the Trinidad Noble Arms Academy; based in the Philippines, Trinidad is an international school known for its low standards and high graduation rate. It is a school that produces second-rate and mediocre Arms Masters, with no notable achievements save one: it was the Academy that produced the Hero of 1987, Angelito Jaime who single-handedly ended the war between the ASEAN member nations and China before it had even begun.

Now, though its reputation is tattered and its results unspectacular, Trinidad remains a highly populated Academy, boasting of a population of over 2000 students. This is due in part, to Trinidad's unique scholarship system that allows the lower class, who normally are unable to enroll in an Arms Masters Academy, to enroll. However, this year, things have changed; the director had suddenly passed-away, and another one has taken his place. This Director is driven, determined, and powerful. He has announced that he would be remaking the Academy into a first-rate producer of Arms Masters around the world, and he would take that first step by announcing the schools participation in the Noble Arms Summit - an international tournament for all the elite student Arms Masters. The Director will achieve this goal by all means; even if it means culling down hundreds of incapable students.

What path will you take on the dawn of this sudden revolution?

So yeah, this is an RP inspired by all those battle-school anime types (most notably Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan & Gakuen Toshi) and just checking if anyone is interested at all.

Also, not sure if I should make it into a Casual-level or Free-level RP. I guess I'll have you guys decide?

General Interest Check

Noble Arms:
Noble Arms take the form of weaponry that appeared from before World War I; each Noble Arm posses powerful abilities beyond normal human capacity, however can only be used if they are released by their user. Noble Arms exist in a kind of 'hyperspace' that is unique to its user and can be called from there - in essence, an Arms Master is always armed.
Noble Arm have an astonishingly versatile ability pool, from calling down fire, to strengthening the body, etc., and more often than not, possess more than one ability. However, similar to physical activity, using a Noble Arm is draining physically and mentally - extended use of ability is much akin to overexerting yourself on both fronts, and as such, so much more fatal to overdo.

Academy of Noble Arms

@Gisk Yep, guns, such as Muskets, semi-auto's, flint-locks, wheel-locks, match-locks, blunderbuss's, Arquebus's, revolvers, even a few machine guns - though those are going to look awkward - so yeah, there's that.

I'll be uploading a CS in a bit, as well as posting this in the Casual Interest section. Go ahead and post the CS if you're done. Makes it easier :D

Academy of Noble Arms

@Gisk Noble Arms are mutations in the human populace and about ¹/₂₀ of the population are capable of materializing them, with various differences in qualities, ergo, though ¹/₂₀ can summon a Noble Arm, of that ¹/₂₀ only ¹/₂ are considered qualified for Academy standards - even the lowest.

@Mistress Dizzy The weapons and abilities are decided by you guys, with the strict standard of weapons before World War I.

Updated the OOC. Also to give you an idea of how many Arms Masters there are exactly:

The Philippines has a general population of one-hundred million (100 000 000) there are ¹/₂₀ people that are born Arms Masters, so about five million people (5 000 000) and only ¹/₂ are eligible for being taught at special academies, two-million five-hundred million (2 500 000). Which is enough to populate a lot of Academies and Schools.
