Oh yeah, I'm not too hung up on all the mechanics of everything, it's just something I automatically do when stats become involved. At the end of the day, I'll always write what's more story appropriate; the stats just help with deciding that.

✤ Delve ✤

If by "leaving the pointy end inside" you mean that target takes continual damage from having a new plugged hole in their body, slap something like a bleeding status effect where they take x amount of damage per post round in which case it's up to you on whether Kori's skill shares in that damage or if it's only contact damage that she reduces. I'd like the former, if only so it can lead to situations where I get to stroke my ego more Kori could get some neat muted hero moments.

Thematically, maybe it's something like Kori and her target(s) have connected lifeforces or something, where every time the target is hit she sacrifices some of her own health or possibly her own literal body in place of the target. Bit hard to come up with a reason for me since magic isn't too well defined in Danmachi, but I mean maybe it can also tie in because Kori can also do some healing magic as well so maybe the Shielding skill is more like some instant blood magic shenanigans to heal the target using Kori's own body rather than using the mind to fuel the healing.

Another interesting route that it could take is that instead of the target's damage going towards Kori own body, it instead gives her an appropriate amount of mind fatigue. This could be explained by instead of sharing the physical wound, Kori more takes on some of the mental shock and burden of having new surprise orifices appear on your body, which I think is more in line and appropriate with how magic works in Danmachi. It'll also give a nice balancing act of "how much mind fatigue can I take before I don't have enough to patch everyone up afterwards" since I think Kori is also the only party member that can do any magical healing.

I'm also down for extra damage in the case of all defenses breached.

✤ Delve ✤

I always enjoy Discord for all the shittalk that can go in there that doesn't need to clutter OoC here.

There's also potentially some pretty gnarly balancing acts that are going to have to be made if both Kori's and the target's durabilities are combined, assuming durability is something like damage reduction and not health. Assuming there is DR of any sort, since if there is say Kori shields Grim who has a pretty high STR+END, coupled with Kori's own fairly high STR+END, then is there anything level appropriate that could touch either of them?

How I saw the skill working was that in my head, all damage is done on a "mark" system, where everybody has a certain number of health marks they could take before falling unconscious/dying/what-have-you. HP is determined by some combination of STR/END/AGI, maybe just STR leaving END and AGI as possible stats that could be used to determine "durability" or how many marks that could be negated from physical damaged either by laughing it off with your ripped bod or fancy flips n shit.

Assuming all of that, Kori's skill comes into play as essentially another layer of "durability" for the target, taking on a certain amount of marks determined either before or after durability is totalled for the other player and inflicting it onto Kori instead, with your choice of having those marks further reduced by Kori's own "durability" or just taking it all on wholesale. Then that all feeds nicely into Kori's skill where the more damage she takes, the higher her "durability" goes so her own personal incoming damage is reduced further and further as she gets closer to dying.

@OwO's word is law of course, so I'm fine with any ruling, but I thought I'd throw in my own thoughts into how I envisioned the skill working since it'll help me know what my character's capabilities are when writing.

Kori Lielle

Kori Lielle

^{163cm ◆ Cat Person ◆ Hecate}

P e r s o n a l I n f o r m a t i o n

---

Appearance

Strong, sinewy, and entirely not afraid to show any of it, there's a lot of power packed into her compact frame and Kori knows it. While she prefers to be fully and sensibly armored in battle, she's more than willing to flaunt her figure every now and then in casual wear. The paladin further takes that confidence and has it exude from her every step as she always seems to walk with sure feet and clear direction.

Personality

Growing up as one of the eldest children in a large family, Kori developed her matronly instincts early as she helped raise her siblings for most of her life. Doting, caring, and at times overbearing, the young woman does her best to look after those she considers close and will stand by them thick or thin. However, getting close to her is often difficult as she holds almost everyone else at a comfortable arms length away.

Still, that does not stop her from being at least cordial to everyone she meets as she puts on a larger-than-life persona, pulling along everyone around her as tries to experience all that life has to offer. In pursuit of that goal, Kori has come to be about as direct and unsubtle as a boar and while she's no stranger to pulling the odd fast scheme or two, her brashness has made her prefer getting to the root of any problem or situation as quickly as possible. That has also unfortunately molded her into developing a very short temper. Luckily, she's willing to shake hands and make up with someone just as quick as she's willing to throw a punch or lecture someone.

Backstory

One half of the eldest twin pair among five other siblings, what Kori lacked in privacy the Lielles more than made up for it with love and company. Her parents did their best to provide for all seven of their children with both Arren and Nadine Lielle being somewhat successful adventurers before turning their swords into plows once Nadine became pregnant with both Kori and her brother. Farming was not the most secure or profitable profession however, and despite her parents' wishes or her siblings' tears, Kori left and journeyed to Orario one silent night.

But becoming a dungeoneer was easier said than done. Every familia that the fresh faced farm girl had tried to join wouldn't accept her, and the ones that would were ones that Kori refused to accept. It wasn't until she had come into the company of a strange goddess and her small and equally eccentric band of merry followers did Kori find a new home.

Armed with her falna and supported by her familia, the young adventurer now happily delves into the Dungeon to support both her families, new and old.

Just because I'm doing everyone, I gotta felate you again and say that it's thematically perfect. Don't let it get to your head, or I'll call you stinky to lower your ego.

@OwO

Good thing I'm more than willing to toot my own horn.

But in all seriousness, I'm glad Kori is well received.

I've seriously written a character that was literally a massive head with arms and legs attached in a monster girl RP. A monster girl RP. I'm literally the dumbest motherfucker in existence, all characters are serious to me.

And I don't know, that sounds plenty monstrous to me.

(Honestly, if you want to be an unlisted race that's a beast race, [i]IE. Werebat[/i], just write it down. General rules are don't put god here and don't put spirit here.")

[b]God:[/b]
(Non-canon, BABY! If you want to let me do all the work, just put a name down. Otherwise, god CS. I'm still going to control them, though. Feel free to share a god. Just ask the other d00d)

I'LL RECORD KEEP THESE FOR YOU. This means I can freely update them when you get a stat boost/level up, etc. This is just to establish the baseline.

[b]Skills:[/b]
(If necessary. You can always acquire skills later. Generally, skills are passive, but there are some exceptions.)

[b]Magic:[/b]
(If applicable. 1-3 spells gained from your falma. Put them in bold if you have them. The rest come later from grimoires)

[b]Equipment:[/b]
(Things that a Lv1 would have. Basic armour, basic weapons, special items IF NECESSARY. You'd probably only get special stuff if your god wubs u uwu)

[b]Stats:[/b]
Lv. 1
(Brief explanation: levels can only be completed by completing a heroic task. Upon completion, you get a massive power boost and all of your stats revert to zero. Stats natively increase when they're flexed - like muscles.

STR is how much you can lift, END is how much you can take, DEX is how well you can move, AGI is how fast you can move, INT is how big your brain is for spells. Stats are 0-999 thematically, BUT I'M REMOVING NUMBERS FROM THE EQUATION.

For simplicity sake, we're just using [letter]-/ /+. [i]IE, I-, G+, E.[/i] These aren't rigid numbers, these are just to gauge STR so we understand things. LV1 I- would be like a standard weak nerd meme while LV1 S+ would be the ability to cut an orc's head off in one swing.

Try to balance your stats and not be a D-boi. The average _should_ be around E- at the start of the RP.)

[b]STR:[/b] I- to D+
[b]END:[/b] I- to D+
[b]DEX:[/b] I- to D+

[b]Personality:[/b]
(How they behave. The more sparse you leave this, the more I'll fill in the blanks. Generally, the god has to be able to work on a team without trying to cut the throats of everyone else.)

[b]Reputation:[/b]
(Generally on the good side of things - REMEMBER THIS. Put in what they're known for - like special products, services, etc if applicable. Know that good is super subjective. I'd allow shady stuff like not filing taxes, but no nefarious backstabbing gods.)

[b]Power Level:[/b]
(Give a relative value of how big and strong of a familia they are. Total number of people, strength comparison, a power out of ten, etc.)

Also glad you like the character @OwO! I'll likely be tinkering with them up until Thursday, but the core spirit of a parental character keeping in line her chuunibyou goddess and her followers should remain the same.

The Doors of Janus [ Malice / Vox ]

Also I've been thinking of a few plot points we could dive into so that we can start building some plot.

The first if you want to go full intrigue is some sort of attempted sabotage on either or both Hudvalri and Qaeltine officials all gathered in the lovebird's nest with all the details something that we can hash out a bit here before going full forward with it.

Another point if you wanted to take the roleplay on a more exploratory/action route is that I've been doing some world-building in my head and thought it'd be a neat idea to go full on with the idea of dragons being giant mobile nexi of magic thus leading to the idea of one dying prematurely being a Very Bad Thing. Considering there's been a relatively recent dragon death in the town of Etanclif, I was thinking it'd be a neat idea if that death had turned that town into essentially being covered in nuclear fallout. The current method I've thought of at the moment of how magical dragon death fallout is treated, at least on the Hudvalri side, is to find a dragon egg which will basically absorb and eat all that magical energy. I imagined the town itself being more Qaeltine, so it'd give us a neat chance to explore our world a bit more. It'd also give the neat potential of Aeris obtaining her own dragon companion.

I mean there's nothing saying that you still aren't going mad, just that there was a slight color change.

Also do feel free to take whatever small liberties you'd need with my character in order to have a smooth post, like having Lokkir help with the binding or having them do it themselves if you'd like. I know how annoying it can be at times when you're writing something and you're blocked from not having any control over a character. I'd also like to think that i can trust you enough not to do anything too drastic with any of my characters!
