Overlord: Momento Mori

I think Ashara would actually want to avoid Light if at all possible, to be frank. For one, since she uses primarily Spirit-based magic and Physical damage augmented by the Shadow-element, Ashara has - currently - no means of hurting Light, at all - except for fighting her bare-handed. Why is this important you ask? For the sole reason that Ashara, being a spirit, has the ability to sense (un)intentional malice, ill-will or hostility towards her, and she would rather not spend time with someone who pretends to be nice, but secretly harbos conspiratorial plans for her - even though she can't tell what they're conspiring or why they are. xD

Finally, a single hug from Light would potentially be very dangerous for Ashara, and even if she's polite, and not very bright, she still wouldn't want someone who steals her precious spiritual energy (and mental faculties) clinging to her - no matter how cute they may be. :P

I also get the feeling that our resident Beast Pen Commentator is gonna try and trap the poor fox-girl, when in her fox-form, and stow her away in one of the cages down in that hole... :(

Erryone too dangerous for my youkai-waifu! HALP!

Overlord: Momento Mori

Alrighty then, I was just curious. No spoil, plox! :<

She reminds me of a more vicious Eclair Eclair Eclair! Except instead of being an adorable little penguin dood, hell-bent on taking over the Guild Hall through cleaning, she's more just scheming sociopathic plans to get rid of everyone... Just in case(tm). xD

Overlord: Momento Mori

On the topic of Light, the character.
Does she have any weaknesses? Like, at all? She is virtually immune to all status ailments, she can't be dominated, possessed, charmed or otherwise manipulated. She counter-drains anything that steals MP/HP from her, along with being immune to a great many kinds of attack - on top of also having resistances to all elements. Topping this off, she has regenration to a level that surpasses Wolverine from X-Men, and she can't be teleported or forcefully removed from an area...

So, I ask, aside from basically beating her to a pulp with a big, comedically oversized mallet and then throwing her into an oversized meatgrinder... How do you actually get her to stop moving? I get that you want your Treasure Guardian to be strong and capable of protecting your shinies, but still.
Even Ainz and Shalltear had weaknesses despite how unfair they were, yet Light seems to just be ... Well, immune to anything and everything. xD

Don't get me wrong, I like Light, I like her personality, her nightmare-version-of-Gardevoire-appearance and the fact that she's some kind of H.P. Lovecraft abomination. I'm just curious if she has any weakness aside from being pounded into the ground?

Silke, for example, since she's a demon is weak to Holy/Light magic, while Ashara - being a Spirit-being, is vulnerable to things like arcane magic, or things that seal/bind/purify spirits. :o

EDIT:

Oh! And if it's a secret/surprise, don't worry about it! I was just being nosy. :)

EDIT 2:

Oh, and about her wanting to kill everyone she meets, does that include the other NPCs as well as the Supreme Beings? xD
Gonna be a bit difficult to interact with people if you're always planning to rip their faces off... Even if you are smiling about it.

EDIT 3:

The swap has been made! Silke evolved into Ashara!
Ashara wants to learn 'Splash'.

Overlord: Momento Mori

Waaah, I slept like 2-3 hours last night, then went to work, got home and now POW, 20+ new posts... You people are insane. I wish my own RP had this much activity. *sob moar*

Welp, so far the only two people who have voted seem to be Lugu and Luci, Tree doesn't count because voting for both is against the principal rules of democracy - HEATHEN! So unless anybody else got interjections, objections or erections, I will swap Silke out for Ashara, post-haste.

Also, I like the idea of an orrery, and the Arcane Sanctuary was one of my favorite areas in Diablo 2. I actually toyed around with the idea of an orrery back when I was planning to make a Chapter Keeper, but I decided to not go through with it, since I wanted a more hands-on and on-field kind of character. But arcane astrologic spying facilities are cool. :o

Now to go read up on all these new characters that have popped up and given me even more to read.!Darn kidss, with your darn character sheets... Can't an old man get some peace!? D: *raspy, cranky, quivering elderly voice*

Overlord: Momento Mori

I... What... How... I don't know what I just watched. Sleep. Now. Vote. Do it.

Overlord: Momento Mori

Alrighty, it took much longer than I thought and there may be spelling, grammar and/or all sorts of other errors, but I'm too tired to really care at this point. I've slaved away at this for a very, very long time and I've got work in about 7.5 hours, so for now, this'll hafta do.

This is the character I'd like to propose substituting Silke Valentine with. All are welcome to comment, constructively critizie and/or huggle.

Name: Ashara Masamune
Gender: Female
Age: 911 (mentally 20~40)

Appearance, looooong descriptions

Human Form

Half-Form

Fox Form

Just... Imagine... A big, silvery fox, with nine tails, and glowing red/orange/purple eyes? Like I could find a oicture of that!

She is an exceedingly attractive, young-looking woman - seemingly not past her later teens yet. She stands rather tall at a height of 168cm/5'6" tall. Her hair is a deep, jet-black color, smooth, straight and silky, reaching down to her waiste, with a long fringe hanging down over her forehead. Her face is symmetrical and serene, with amethyst-purple eyes, looking almost like a masterfully crafted doll. Her body is curvaceous and voluptuous, with an ample bosom, slim waist, flat and taut stomach, peach-shaped posterior and shapely thighs. Her fingers and feet are delicate and femenine, unblemished and clean without blisters, callouses or even a speck of dirt. When in her Half-Fox form, her hair turns white as freshly fallen snow, nine fluffy fox-tails sprout from her back, fur as lustrous as shimmering silver and a pair of equally colored and fluffy fox-ears sprout from atop her head.

Her attire is an intricate thing indeed. A white strip of fabric encircles her neck, tied with a red string that ends in a tassle beneath a golden brooch. An off-the-shoulders white haori rests below, held tight around her thin torso by a corset-like black and gold-trimmed obi, tied with a red silk band. The sleeves of her robe get wider and more billowing the closer to her wrists they get. The interior of the robe is tailored with pleats of black fabric, trimmed with gold in similar fashion to the decorative obi. From the obi, a long loin-cloth hangs down, ending in a triangular cut with each point accented by a golden tassle.

On her back, the red silk transitions to a thick red rope tied into a bow, with the loose ends being woven into various patterns as they trail downwards, ending in three braided strands finished with a golden bell, beneath which the threads of the rope break into a thick tassle. Around her ankles are tied a thinner - but otherwise similar - braid of red thread, encircling her ankles before gently moving across each of her feet to end tied around her middle toes. At the midway-point between the two points, the thread winds itself into a double bow looking like the wings of a butterfly. On the outside of the thread at her ankle sit two golden bells, causing a light jingle with each delicate step she takes.

Occupation: Roaming Executioner
Residence: Shadowtower Shrine, Chateau tower
Character Focus: DPS-Hybrid Fighter/Caster, Mage-Killer

Personality:

Ashara has a calm, refined and level-headed air about her. She is refined and graceful in both movement, body-language and in speech. She carries herself with a noble, almost regal, poise but somehow does not come off as snooty or arrogant. She is friendly and polite to all, be they friend or foe alike, and is very hard to anger or upset. Unfortunately, that's about where the image of a perfect person ends for the fox-girl. Although pretty, polite and with graceful conduct, she can be quite the airhead at times and even space out for long periods of time. ALso, due to her creator's personal tastes, she can be a bit of a pervert and has - in particular - yuri-tendencies (that is, she's into other girls). She also does things at a very my-pace, loathe to stress or rush anything - no matter how (un)important it may be.

She can also be unintentionally rude, pointing out the elephant in a room when everybody else tries to avoid it. Grace, after all, does not always translate into tact. She can be heartlessly honest sometimes, though with childish innocence not realize she might be hurting or offending others. She is very fond of her creator, Lady Deka_Ribbon, who she considers both as her mother and goddess - and the fact that this important person suddenly vanished and never came back has left Ashara a bit melancholic and saddened, though she does her best to hide this fact.

Notable Equipment:

• Shadowfang Spear: An elaborate and overly exaggerated spear, with a gaudy golden design and being slightly oversized. A later mid-level weapon suited for spear-users, it's main feature is that it deals a bit of physical Shadow-damage in addition to its regular damage, allowing it to bypass lesser physical immunity with additional enchantments or enhancements.
  Otherwise though, it's a rather unremarkable weapon.
• Ribbonheart's Haori: This robe was handcrafted by Ashara's creator herself. It was made with high-grade materials and subsequently enchanted after creation, making it a powerful piece of equipment - for its level. Offering the same protection as a full set of Mithril Full Plate, despite being cloth, means its a powerful piece of gear that has very little impact on mobility. In addition, it offers minor resistances to the Light and Dark elements. Finally, since Deka_Ribbon embroided her name into this robe, Ashara treasures its dearly.
• Windflower's Sash: The obi around Ashara's waist grants her the effects of the spells "Freedom of Movement" and negates lower-level stuns or other movement-impairing abilities, and offers extra resistance against mid-to-high level effects of the same nature. It also grants a slight resistance to all Air element damage.
• Bell of Suzuran: One of the bells around Ashara's ankles. This item grants a 1% resistance against all elements, in addition, it decreases the duration of any Poison each time the bell rings (ergo, every step taken). It does, however, not cure Poison instantly and it does not decrease its potency, merely shortening the time it remains in effect until it's gone.
• Bell of the Majó: Also known as the 'Bell of the Witch'. This other bell around Ashara's ankle provides her with a good deal of mana-regeneration, along with extra protection against Curses and immunity to Silence-type effects that would prohibit spell-casting. However, the bell's effect can be temporarily disabled with a Dispel-Magic spell or effect.
• Circle of Seven Spirits: The large, ornate and golden ring that seemingly hovers behind Ashara's back. The purpose of this mysterious item is very simple, whenever Ashara is struck by a spell, part of that spell's MP cost is absorbed and returned to Ashara herself. The amount returned is fairly small though, and it only works against attacks that are considered spells - physical skills are not convertable.

Creator Information:
Ashara Masamune was created by the player Deka_Ribbon, a japanophile and fujoshi. She was someone who very interested and adored japanese culture, history and aesthetics. In particular she was very interested in eastern mysticism and folklore, and to that end, she created Ashara - her own little fox-youkai waifu. She did extensive research and spent an absolutely absurd amount of time working on the fox-spirit, custom tailoring her appearance, her clothes and even going out of her way to equip her with thematic and appropriate gear. Although originally intended to be a Chapter Keeper, the long development time of Ashara caused other members of Bandersnatch to pass her by, leaving her to instead appoint her creation as the Roaming Executioner. Sadly, Deka_Ribbon passed away while, ironically, on a flight to visit Japan. This left Ashara in the care of the remaining Bandersnatch members.

Now, to prepare for some much needed sleeeeeeeeeep.....

Overlord: Momento Mori

OOoooooh, Runescape! I remember playing that back in Junior High so very, very long ago! Don't be mean to it! It was a great game... Until they made the graphics-update... And started disabling content via a "Pay-to-Play" gate, lcoking Free Accounts out of all content essentially. *sob*

And if you're not big into MMOs, just think of a different CRPG, like say, the old Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale games, or Divinity 2: Original Sin, or something along those lines? Are you as a player playing a melee-fighter? Then maybe having a ranged support attacker would be handy? Or a rogue to open chests for you and backstab your enenmies while you hold aggro? Maybe a mage to deal with those pesky, large packs of trash mobs? How about a healer, so you can march on in and whack the living bejesus outta anything without worrying about your HP dropping too low?

Overlord: Momento Mori

Why not think of the kind of NPC you would want to create for an MMO for yourself? Just put yourself in the shoes of an MMO-Player, think about what you want/need to make your gaming experience easier/more fun, and go from there? That's usually what I do, at least. :)

Overlord: Momento Mori

Doesn't really help his case that BountyBritches original character name was BouncyBitches, but due to a namelock-ban, he had to change it... *Whistles inoocently*

Also, I'm currently working on something. To be frank, I'm not 100% happy with Silke, although I think she would be fun to play as, I somewhat have this inkling that she doesn't raelly fit in with the overall theme and setting. As such, I'm currently working on a possible substitute. It should be done in a bit, more or less any way... Might take me rest of the night and a bit after work tomorrow, depending on various things - like how distracted I get.

Overlord: Momento Mori

MIN-MAX IZ SRS BZNZ!
How else are you going to gloat about how your numbers are bigger than the numbers of your peers? Surely, wagging your E-penis over everybody else is the single most important part of any character comparison!
[/sarcasm]

Also, hah! Weak dragon is weak! >:P
