Thanks for your cooperation.

@Savo: That's not what I meant. The process of making a homunculus requires a soul, there's already a way to move it from one location to the next. Moving the consciousness, what makes a person a person, is what would require a botched spell and is the only way to explain your character. ^^;

@Savo: Okay, have to get into some stuff that was too involved to include in the OP now. ^^;

Souls in my setting are technically referring to the "life" of something. The soul exists long before any sort of consciousness does, the moment something qualifies as alive. What people would consider the soul is more a combination of the consciousness and the soul. The consciousness is formed by a person, well, actually being a person, it's their personality, thoughts, and memories.

This means, for example, that a true ghost is actually the consciousness combined with some portion of the soul. This also means that a soul taken to create a homunuculus("recently dead" is all that's required and can be gained from going to a morgue or, well, killing somebody) is just life energy, just what caused life to come to that person. Which is also why you need it to make a homunculus since they need something to make them alive.

Now, this doesn't totally shoot down your character. Severely botching the transferal of the soul might accidentally nab the consciousness.

I don't know I thought Gnar would have um sorry.

Aurora, The Land of Twilight and Falsities

I thought that Gnar mentioned it to you um.

So, um, before anyone asks, I discussed the move with the GM for a few reasons. ^^;

Within the Forests on Gorlock

She wasn't going to pretend she knew what was going on. That'd be ridiculous. She wasn't going to pretend she even thought this was real at all. There were all the weird as hell animal things, the two girls, one of them pushing another girl incredibly fast on a wheelchair, and what the weird robot thing with the big weapon was doing was a mystery to her. But it did have some kind of huge weapon and it was forming some kind of big ball on its finger or something like that. And, you know, that was pretty crappy. Even in the dream world it was pretty crappy. You're some big damn robot and you're going to go attacking a bunch of girls, one of them in a wheelchair? ... And a bunch of really damn weird animals but hey, it still seemed pretty crappy to her.

Tsubaki's bat clanged against the floor.

"Oi oi oi," she began, raising the bat to her shoulder. Why should she be scared? It was only a dream, after all, so it'd be pretty cowardly if she didn't step forward to defend the girls in a damn dream. "I dunno what's going on, I'm not going to pretend to know where the hell I am. But even in a dream, attacking a bunch of defenseless girls is pretty damn shitty, right?"

Tsubaki didn't have anything but a bat on her, and this was some kind of big robot with energy balls and a huge weapon. But hey, this was a dream, right?

So that didn't mean a damn thing.

Okay, so I'm thinking of starting this relatively soon, in the next week if all goes well.

Black Moon, White Night: A Visual Novel-inspired Urban Fantasy RP

• Name: Number Four, "Shi"
• Age: 8, though physically she appears to be 15.
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "..." Thanks a whole lot, @Rin!
• Personality: "Shi" is very quiet. Looking at her, the natural assumption from her behavior would be that she is totally lacking in emotion. She rarely expresses herself in any fashion and her face rarely changes. Indeed, it seems as if she has no emotions and no ability to express them even if she did. However, this is not, in fact, the truth. "Shi" is indeed not one to express her emotions, but she does possess them. In spite of her nature as a living being designed to be a weapon, "Shi" enjoys reading and has a liking for cats. She is also very shy, having difficulties speaking with anyone aside from her creator or their associates. Even then, she struggles to speak freely and tends to fall into stuttering silence. She is easily flustered as well. "Shi", in spite of these less than threatening traits, kills with absolute zero hesitation. While she may question why internally, it is the purpose she was created for.
• Abilities: "Shi" has limited magical abilities. This is intentional to avoid her being too versatile and therefore having a chance at somehow turning on her creators. Her affinity, as programmed into her body, is Air. Her spells are strictly limited and she is unable to learn more. Among them is a spell(Jet Point) to place a "jet" on the back of a projectile in order to make it move more quickly. Properly utilized this can even be applied to bullets. She is also capable of using displacement, though the object she is displacing must be "tagged" along with the location she is displacing it to. She can also use various spells to increase the penetration of both bullets and knives, supernatural enhancement to reinforce her attacks, and the usage of minor illusion spells in an attempt to hide her presence. The illusions can be pierced by magical interference relatively easily. She is also highly agile.
• Skills: "Shi" is a highly capable assassin. She is instinctively good at stealth, instinctively capable in hand-to-hand takedowns, and instinctively able to utilize various forms of weaponry. However, she is not especially strong, which is why she uses weaponry or takedowns at close range. She is an excellent shot, but due to her low magic capabilities she generally must retreat to avoid being incapacitated or killed if she becomes caught in a fight with a capable magi. Without the element of surprise, her tactics become less effective.
• Equipment: "Shi" carries on her person a set of knives and a pistol, along with relevant ammunition. She also possesses an enormous sniper rifle. It is a custom-made behemoth of a weapon, measuring a total of five feet in length and therefore being longer than she is tall. She also has access to a wide number of small explosives and some chalk to use for spells.
• Brief Backstory: Number Four, referred to as "Shi", was the fourth attempt to create an assassin homunculus designed to covertly eliminate participants in the battle for the White Night of Klarsberg. Her predecessors either failed to properly awaken or were eliminated due to improper "programming". Her body was formed at seven years old, and she was "programmed" to be absolutely without mercy towards her targets regardless of their nature. She was treated as a weapon, and little more, though her creator did give her something other then cold indifference at times. When she performed drills and practiced magic effectively, she would be rewarded, and this became the only life she knew. Even when treated with affection she was still a weapon. Even when her creator was at her kindest and most regretful for the fate of "Shi"'s predecessors, the same did not hold true for her associates, who treated the homunculus as a thing who existed only to destroy those who would do battle for the White Night and afterwards would be discarded. Her creator was even colder at times. In spite of this, "Shi" listens to her creator, and even those supporting her who treat her as nothing more then a weapon, without fail. And so she has been sent to kill all of the other participants in the battle. Every single one. Witnesses, too, are to be eliminated.

@Raineh Daze: That looks good!

I'm not sure if I'll be doing any other races. ^^;
