Tales of The Radiant Brigade - Tales of Vesperia based roleplay

I have linked the Artes section I would suggest making a Karol like character using his artes to brutally smash anything with the gauntlets. Believe me in summon night swordcraft story the fist fighters can hit hard and fast and it can easily be mastered. A blacksmith can easily be apart of the imperial or guild side so choose either or is fine with me.

Tales of The Radiant Brigade

Name: Mutsu Honda
Nickname/Alias: None
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Occupation: Shopkeeper - unofficial helper of the lower quarter
Race: Human
Personality: Mutsu is a honest and respecting man who hates to break the law and has shown a heavy disdain for those he views as villains. He is not a big fan of the guilds and has shown a clear intent on siding with the empire over the guilds at many times but is not unfair towards guild members when it matters, He loves a good story and loves to hear of heroes come and gone wanting to live up to their example and surpass them if possible. He has a dislike of technological things finding the sort of thing to be more of the mage's line of work than a soldier's. He has trouble breaking rules unless he has to and even then he feels bad about doing so. He doesn't have a impulsive desire to help people but he tends to want to try at the very least to do what he can. He prides himself in being a soldier worth his family's legacy. He hates camping and especially hates monsters to a hair raising degree. While he enjoys a good challenge he hates being completely shown up by someone better than himself and tends to brood afterward though he does acknowledge when he is wrong or has lost a fair fight. He tends to be a shy person to women as well never really interacting with any outside of the knights.
Appearance:
Without glasses - Wears a pair of black boots with usually a white t-shirt. His pants are a greyish shade and his bodhi blastia is in the form of a wristband


Weapon Type: Sword and Shield
Sword - A one handed made of cheap metal. It has a leather bound around the hilt and is made of bronze
Shield - Imperial knight shield passed down by his uncle
Artes:
Demon Artes:
Demon Fang: When the Demon Fang arte is used, the character launches a ground projectile towards a target. This arte is useful for melee characters who need to stay away from enemies temporarily and damage them from a distance, while waiting for healing or support from an ally. However, this arte can travel only along the ground.
Screaming Fist: An Artes backed punch capable of stunning force leaving the enemy open to the attack. The attack is unable to be canceled until it is finished leaving the opponent open to attack.
Biography: Mutsu was born on a dark cloudy night to a sell sword father who was a great monster hunter who fought for the empire but refused to give up his imperial citizenship to become a member of a guild and a mother who was a member of a well known brigade known as the Erin Brigade. He was born into a matrilineal family and took his mother's last name not his father's which was because his mother was from a more influential family. He was raised in the lower sector for the first couple of years in his life due to his uncle having a falling out with his father and his mother being to far away to convince his uncle to take him back. However that was only during his infant years and he hardly remembers what it was like back then. His uncle, Erin Honda, however never truly hated his nephew in fact he always wanted to accept the boy into his own house but his father refused to do so wanting to raise the boy himself. Though his father wasn't the best one he did his best to take care of his son in the lower quarter but a couple of years later Mutsu's mother returned and convinced his uncle and his father to get along so the boy could be raised in the upper section of the city. His father returned to hunting monsters for clients soon after and his uncle and mother helped raise the boy in the capital. Mutsu's earliest memories were that of learning etiquette and noble lessons along with learning how to fight, which he excelled at in the form of shields and swords while maintaining decency with a spear and axe. His uncle drove him relentlessly but Mutsu loved him all the same for being a kind man who loved to tell jokes. His mother often read him stories of great warriors and knights. And in fact he became a beloved friend of many of the Erin Brigade's members and was often around older men and women who loved him dearly. However he never forgot one day when he and his uncle went hiking just barely outside of the barrier and he was attacked by a low level monster but was nearly crippled if it were not for his uncle and his returning father. He developed a hatred for monsters thinking them all ravenous beasts which his father's words didn't help in the least as he regaled his son of the dangers he had seen in his life time. His uncle, however told him not to take him anything a face value anyone who rushes into something risks death. His mother babied her son for a decent time afterward until his grand father told his mother to stop doing so. His grand father was an exceedingly wealthy man whom taught him respect in it's most basic form and it has stuck with him even until his adult life. Deciding he'd rather stay in the city and become a weapon smith instead of a knight, whom he had found not to be his calling, and he decided to spend some time in the lower quarter. His father was well known in the lower section and the young Mutsu found many would be friends down there and while he didn't get off to a great start with all of them he loves them all dearly. One day a Bodhi blastia was sent to him by his grand father and Mutsu refuses to acknowledge questions about it's previous owner. Mutsu has dedicated his life to helping the imperial citizens of the imperial city but he secretly has started to lust for adventure.

Tales of The Radiant Brigade

It is another bright, warm, if somewhat excessively warm, day at the city of Zaphias, the Imperial Capital, as the people go about their daily lives doing as they normally would. Merchants are coming today and the imperial knights are on watch. The noble quarter is expecting a party today to celebrate the fact that a group of Imperial Knights, the Harken Brigade, has come back from slaying a rather powerful monster near the Imperial Capital. The nobles are all in a buzz as they insist on the party being thrown including the head of the local merchant's union, Thomas Meijin, whom has given almost half his profits towards this festival in order to honor the men he has insisted on 'sponsoring the Harken Brigadiers' in this event. So with the influence of Meijin and the grant by Lord Pembroke of The Imperial Five (a conclave of advisers to king whom dictate the politicians in the various areas and overall tend to specific regions at a time) the lower quarter's inhabitants are being hired by the dozen to get things together for it. However some of both the quarters are more concerned with one thing, the theft of various blastia around the city than the festival itself which coincides with various members of both sections planning on a mass search around the city to look for the person or persons whom broke the blastia or stole them through the city which has been condemned by the more active members of the Imperial Knights and ignored by the lazier sections. However the knights have outlawed vigilantes from doing much in the past few years due to a massive fight that broke out a couple years back between a merchant's group and the lower quarter. Since then the knights have been rather harsh on the lower quarter leading to some discontent amongst the citizenry. Thus we start out in the afternoon of this radiant day....
===
Mutsu Honda was spending his day like everyone else in the lower quarter...preparing to deal with the heat of the day. He had his usual clothes drenched in sweat and a cold glass of water next to him as he sat more or less still in front of one of the only working blastia in the city. With the heat of the day they couldn't afford some scoundrel to come and wreck things. Of course he'd be welcome home up if he chose to go back up to them but he didn't think he could just abandon the lower section to a lack of able bodied men just yet despite how much fun the festival would be compared to....guard duty. He gripped his old sword, which he had been given by the lower quarter as a gift and he had taken it over the more high quality swords sold by merchants out of sentimental value. Of course he knew he'd have to give it up eventually after all it was really old and rugged around the hilt. It was made by the local black smith's son so he could forgive the poor design. He twirled the thing around for a bit before sighing as he adjusted his Bodhi blastia on his wrist instead. This heat was KILLING him and the only solaces was that he was getting paid for this and that water was nearby. What maniac would try to get this thing in the middle of broad daylight anyways? "Man this heat sucks something fierce! But hey at least I got my trusty sword right....and I'm talking to myself....great....I'm not only sweating, getting sunburn, and dying of boredom but I've turned to talking to myself! I wish I had someone to talk to..." Mutsu commented bluntly as his old friend Cain came over and wrapped his arm around him suddenly from behind. Mutsu almost fell back into the pool of water behind of him before Cain caught him. Cain wore his usual leather clothes and he was almost as black as coal...or at least as black as a white man could look. Cain was a man who spent hours and sometimes days worth of time in the sun and was a Imperial Knight whom his mother had known from childhood. The man was older than him but no less of a friend. "What's wrong little man?! Come on your uncle would hate to see you like this with your face all pouty!" Cain said laughing as Mutsu glared at him through squinted eyes. "Shouldn't you be off partying or getting a sponge bath since your clearly to old to bathe yourself?" Mutsu commented towards Cain whom laughed hard, "Still got your uncle's wit about you? I swear your more like him than your greasy old pa!" Cain retorted as Mutsu groaned but let a small smirk slip on his lips.

Tales of The Radiant Brigade

Forewarning: This roleplay is only for those who can post at least a paragraph and a half per post if the situation provides enough content to do so. Meaning characterization per post is required. In other words high casual roleplay warning. Also while extremely similar to the actual plot of Vesperia and employing most of the cities in game it will not be a carbon copy of the game.

Setting of the story
http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Terca_Lumireis (Warning possible spoilers for the game Tales of Vesperia in the wiki)

The people of Terca Lumireis have come to rely on blastia, an ancient civilization's technology with a wide array of capabilities such as providing water, powering ships, or creating barriers around major cities and towns to protect them from monsters. The Imperial Knights and guild members also use bodhi blastia to enhance their abilities in combat. The blastia, created by the elf-like Krityans, are fueled by a substance called aer that lends its power to the blastia's ability, but can be fatal to humans in large concentrations. The area of the land are split into normally two different factions: One led by the Empire and their Emperor/Empress whom are backed by their council and are guarded by their Imperial Knights led by Knight commandant Hardin Expos and his brigade The Knightly Guardians.

Below them are the Knight Commanders who lead separate divisions each with their own colors and styles. Below them are lieutenants and below them are the normal knights. They keep order in the empire and are normally at odds with monsters. They're also opposed by The Guilds, individuals whom have opposed the empire and have declared their laws pointless or simply unjust. Some harbor grudges, others are in it for the money but the guild is led by the Don of Dahngrest and the Duce of Nordopolica individually. Most guilds however tend to follow the Don of Dahngrest and the Union that backs it whom are the five major guilds. Those include Blazing Glory, a group of hunters who exist to hunt for monsters and other challenges of the world, Ancient Salvation, a group dedicated to the study and excavation of ancient secrets and ruins, The Future's Fortune, a group of well paid mercenaries and merchants whom seek wealth above all else, Bolden Blades, a group of high class smiths with legendary abilities a the smithy, and Torkstania whom are headed by the Don and are ruthless warriors and tacticians whom have kept the city itself independent.

---

Quick note: The Great War ended thirty years ago and there has been a general uneasy peace between the two factions. Since then there has been a change of leadership on the throne of the empire as a new emperor has descended since then.
This story starts one day in the continent of Ilyccia, at Imperial Capital of Zaphias. It is a rather hot and steaming day in the city and many are complaining about hoodlums whom are going about the noble sector breaking the blastia or forcing repairs to be made. Thieves have been nothing but a small nuisance to the imperial knights and have been considered nothing but pains at the most. But since the blastia are now being threatened the groups in the upper class the knights have been cracking down unusually hard on the peoples. However in the lower district there have been cases of blastia being stolen as well which is usual given the area is so closely knit together and thieves have little to gain from robbing them. This has caused quite the conundrum as the knights can't blame the lower sector but can't rule some of them out. Still the nobles blame the lower sector but most of the knights refuse to look down there without evidence since the lower sector itself is in trouble. Regardless of the blastia situation the majority of the people in the city are as usual pedaling goods and making their livings as they usually do. However something looms on the horizon that will not bode well for the imperials....

1. No high level characters off the bat this will be sort of like a dungeons and dragons sort of setting where the farther we go the stronger we get. Most of us will be using rather poor or plain weapons that are common. Like in the game you can buy and gain weapons later.
2. You may not be a lieutenant or higher rank if you're a member of the imperial knights. Similar rules apply to the Guilds whom will only have newer members out. Most players are encouraged to be simple mercenaries for hire or normal citizens with some form of combat skill or magic skill in the city we start at.
3. GM's word is law what I say goes if you don't like what I have to say you're free to leave.
4. Everyone must have a Bodhi blastia of some sort if you want to use artes. If you don't start with one you should gain one rather quickly in the start of the roleplay.
5. All basic roleplay rules apply
6. All side plots must be brought to me I don't want to go off on some unexpected tangent without warning.

Tales of The Radiant Brigade - Tales of Vesperia based roleplay

I haven't seen rifles used in the vesperia game as of yet in my play through, but there are cannons so it is very possible to use flint lock muskets at the least but mages or archers would be more practical, my recommendation is that you play using Raven's style with either going pure bow or getting a dagger along side it. Or use Artes and go for a Rita like character. Either or I'm planning on using a bastard sword (a two handed sword that can be used as a single handed one with some difficulties) type character personally. Remember your artes can allow you to do various types of elemental and physical attacks.

Also to Rege we're starting out in the imperial capital so I'd have you put in a trading guild or at least a mercenary with little guild connections. Because the way I have this planned out we can either become the Radiant Brigade guild or the Radiant Brigade for the Empire depending on how the story plays out.

The OOC will be up later today or tomorrow assuming everyone still is interested.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Those Who Correct - Crossover

I'll give you permission to just move the characters along for the sake a post.

Fire Emblem: Twin Blades

I personally find using a canon character's appearance from a different saga of the fire emblem series not tasteful in my opinion but it is not mine call. It's the equivalent of using Tommy Oliver for a custom character in power rangers light speed rescue if that makes any sense.

Fire Emblem: Twin Blades

According to the big man it is open

Sekirei - The Beauty of Truth

A man with a long black coat with spikey red hair followed by a group of guys with white t shirts and pompadours came walking down the street. They were clearly a group of adult aged delinquents. The group was followed by a girl with long black hair and a beautiful face and body to match. The man looked forward and smiled at the pair of Deluna and Michael as they came by and the man simply said, "Hey there you two consider yourselves lucky...you missed one hell of a show." the man simply stated as he passed by them the thugs showed no sign of recognition at what the red haired guy was saying and the woman only giggled and grinned devilishly at Deluna. But the strange encounter passed quickly as the group passed by the two rather quickly but one thing was sure...that man was not a normal person. The crew walked around a nearby corner and vanished from sight.
===
Izumi's face didn't change much from her plain one that she had been wearing this entire day. She wondered....was it right of her to involve this man whom she had just met literally today? Was it right to make this man's life change? More importantly....would Brandon stay with her? She was winged now and she was his in all senses of the word despite how much Izumi disliked to say that her freedom was now gone. She may now be able to grow stronger now thanks to this Brandon Hunter but she may also end up being killed easier now. Ashikabi who die bring their sekirei to the graves with them. It was unfortunate but it was how things tended to end. And that girl Azami...she was gone as well. It felt horrid for her to say that but...also it brought up a part of her that made her feel more secure. She wiped that sekirei out with little trouble once she was winged...and she was tired as well when she had done so. Her thoughts snapped out of her as Brandon started talking again, "This place was reserved for only one person Izumi you can't stay in this apartment indefinitely. That's a problem because I don't intend on throwing you out on the street....hmmm." Brandon said as he smiled at her and Izumi's heart went from jumping into her throat to a heavy sigh of relief. It seemed she picked the right guy at least, "I'm sure we'll work something out. I can work to support a small apartment here if there is any room so it's not like we can't stay in the same building. So what do you do Brandon?" Izumi asked as Brandon told her he was a college student and Izumi wasn't surprised he seemed young. At least younger than herself as it would be.

However before Izumi could continue on Brandon's TV turned on unexpectedly and Izumi immediately was frowning at the screen. At the screen was Magoichi Hanabi also known as 'The King' and he was grinning...that could only mean one thing. "Hello everyone who can hear me and may I say that I am SUPER excited to be speaking to all of you today! This is a message from 'The King' coming to all his little birds and their wingers! First off to anyone knew I'd like to say WELCOME to our little game! It is so nice to have all of you here! Don't worry about people nearby whom aren't players in this plan because this message is specifically tuned to those whom have awakened sekirei! To be a bit more clear is that others may be able to see me on the TV but only YOU can hear me per say. Now then moving on...oh and of course my lovely little ladies and boys whom are the main components of this game also can hear this! You know who you are! Magoichi said clapping his hands and smiled. "Those who aren't near TV's have had their phones text messaged with this little speech or they're listening in on it right now, and those without phones....well I'll say they're missing this little major announcement. But before that I'd like to congratulate you on surviving the little 'wing or be eliminated northern challenge.

Those whom did not get winged I apologize for not warning you before doing that but it wouldn't be fair if the hunters had no game to go after. To those who got winged on that day good job on finding your partner I can say both I and The Bishop both are proud of you so very much! To those whom eliminated stubborn ones...well while not the most glorious event it proves your one stone cold badass and you've spared them the heartbreak of losing later! But the total number of eliminations were decent chunk, a total of seven sekirei were eliminated. Numbers 61, 82, 29, 45, 101, 98, and finally 53. I apologize to those birds but they're fates were sealed. The winner is a man named Hideyori Matsumodo and his eliminations of 82-29-101. His prize will be sent to him later! A consolation prize to be sent to those who were responsible to those who also eliminated the other sekirei! Also multiple ones were winged the past afternoon on top of those! So then until then stay frosty my dear players this is your beloved king signing out...have a great game! Magoichi stated as he went to turn away from the camera but he stopped and laughed, "ALMOST FORGOT! From this day forward you are all to form alliances with other sekirei and ashikabi! HEHEHHEHE! If you don't form alliances that is your choice but I will pay any medical bills to those whom are allied with another group! Think of this as a way to make friends and make the game more interesting!" Magoichi stated quickly with relish as his face vanished from the screen or the call ended.
