Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley-esque Roleplay

it would be cool if people used Dream Selfie to make their faceclaims, since it somewhat matches the art style of the old Harvest Moon titles.

@Stern Algorithm

That is a very cute idea, I'd be down for that.

Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley-esque Roleplay

The real question is, who's the new farmer in town?

Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley-esque Roleplay

Whoops, don't know if you're still looking for opinions Cap'n but:

1. I like both! Personally I don't like relying entirely on discord for OOC stuff, but I do recognize it's a much faster method of communication.
2. I think it can be very fun to have a relationship chart, but like many others think it should be optional.
3. I agree to see what the speed of the RP is like first before deciding events

Unrelated but I'm thinking of a town doctor/physician type. Hm~

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Operation: Ground the Harpy

User: TaTu

Name:
Taras Draguovich Tupolev
_{Though his friends and future enemies call him}

TATU!

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Stand:「Bad Case」

Appearance:

Hider

Taras towers over most other men. He is tall and built thick, and he isn't afraid to let his muscles do the talking when needed. Being a soldier, it's not uncommon to find a few scars here and there on his pale skin, the most noticeable of which is one the runs through his right eyebrow. Not only his skin but his hair is pale as well: a very light blonde. One could say he looks like the stereotypical Russian and he would take that as a compliment. Although he is usually in uniform, he's quite a snappy dresser when out of it.

Skills:
Taras is well read and can process information very quickly, especially of the written kind. His memory is also very good. He's interested in the medicinal arts but never made a career in them, the most he knows is some first aid and field surgery. Something most of his comrades know but don't talk about is that sometimes he likes to practice surgical techniques on dying soldiers under the guise of said "field surgery." Stemming from his information processing, he is also gifted in language. Taras can fluently speak Russian, Ukrainian, French, English, German, and Finnish. He is capable of understanding Polish but doesn't speak it. Finally, he's a great driver.

Equipment:
+ First Aid Kit with an impressive scalpel collection!
+ Tokarev TT-33 Pistol, and ammo!
+ Combat Knife hidden in the boot!

History:
Most of Taras' early life does not matter. He was born into poverty in the Motherland of the Soviet Union, and enlisted in the military to escape it - that's the most of what he'll tell you, and only after a few drinks. His early career as a soldier mostly involved being sent to remote locations, waiting in snow, mud and filth, then marching home. Sometimes, he would get to kill someone. Engaging the enemy was some of the only excitement he could find, as the games of his fellow soldiers bored him. He worked hard until he was eventually recognized and promoted to Officer, and from there he became a trusted member of the NKVD.
He worked in a section of the NKVD that would later become the MGB. Put simply, his job was to investigate any threats to the Soviet Union: both internally or externally.
At some point, his work brought him into contact with a strange alien arrow. Several of his colleagues died when they touched it. Taras himself was bedridden for days, but afterwards he emerged stronger than ever with a strange power of his own...
The situation at hand directly interests him and his occupation. Perhaps due to his standing in the NKVD, or the fact that stand users are somehow drawn to each other, Taras was chosen as the agent to investigate the unusual claims.

Stand: Bad Case

Stand Name:

「Bad Case」

Parameters:

_{Power: D Speed: A Range: A Staying: C Precision: A Potential: E}

Appearance:

Hider

「Bad Case」appears to be a metallic mosquito or other insect equipped with a hypodermic needle as a proboscis. When standing a full height it measures barely one foot (31cm) tall, with a similar width. It can move extremely fast and uses it's legs to climb walls and ceilings. The clicking of it's legs can be heard by other stand users, but when it moves slowly it doesn't make a sound.

Power:
In as simple a way to put this as possible,「Bad Case」manipulates the flesh of any living beings it sticks it's needle into. It doesn't change their properties, nor their mass or anything like that. Inside, 「Bad Case」physically twists and contorts a living being's body.
Surface-level changes happen fairly quickly. As long as「Bad Case」's needle or "proboscis" is connected to the victim, it can freely shape the victim's flesh in any way it's user wants. It can do things like rearrange a person's face, move parts of the body from one area to another, or move excess flesh to cover wounds and stop bleeding. No matter what changes it makes, there is one thing in common: all the changes happen physically and are excruciatingly painful.「Bad Case」's "bite" feels only mildly annoying, like the tingle of an actual bug bite, however. In addition to moving body parts, all the parts moved remain functional. For example, if an ear was moved down to the shoulder, the ear could still hear.
Internal changes, such as the moving of organs or blood vessels, even minor ones, take much longer to complete. Any changes that「Bad Case」makes are gradually reversed if the stand is discovered and dislodged quick enough, but with enough time attached the changes can become permanent.
Because「Bad Case」is relatively fragile stand better suited to stealth attacks and reconnaissance, it has one method of defense should it become cornered. Taras can see and hear whatever the stand sees and hears, so he usually can direct it to run when danger appears, but should the back of stand (the "abdomen" section) be touched, it activates an ability called 「Moon Stone Shine」 which lights up the area brilliantly. The light is intensely blinding, it's capable of causing eye damage should someone be too close to it and get hit with a direct blast. The light is intended to let「Bad Case」escape - and although the stand's body does heat up slightly while activating it and the light itself can be harmful, this ability doesn't do direct damage. It can be manually activated but once it's used, it obviously gives away the stand's position.

Other: The「Moon Stone Shine」is named after several sources. The writer and singer of "Bad Case of Loving You" is Moon Martin. "Fresh-sown Moonstone" is a lyric in "Blinded by the Light." The "shine" bit also obviously comes from this.

It was looking to be a beautiful night.

There hadn't been a single cloud in the sky that day. It made for a blisteringly hot morning while the sun was overhead, but most days were like that. Still, as the day wore on and evening settled upon the city, the sky remained a cloudless canvas and soon enough the first twinkles of stars could be seen on the horizon. It was nice.

Asante was settled low on one of the cliff outcrops that bordered the entrance to the cavern city of Sando. The rocks jutting out above cast a cooling shadow over the area. Even though the sun was near gone, the heat wouldn't dissipate for a short while yet. The young man didn't mind the heat so much, but he still kept to the shade when possible. In fact, Asante had been in this exact shaded spot for most of the day. Earlier, after much poking and prodding of the Guildmaster, he'd been able to discover that some Runners would be assigned to take cargo that day: a large shipment that needed a schooner to haul. Well, wasn't that just the lucky break he'd been waiting for?

Though Asante had been living with the Sunrunners for a long time now, he'd yet to be officially endorsed by the guild. Until now, of course. He'd asked to be assigned to the mission and to his surprise he actually was.

"There won't be a better teacher to get firsthand experience from," the man had said, "first official mission, huh? Good luck, son."

The master's words had spread several feelings through Asante's body at the time, excitement being the primary one. He'd let a boyish grin grow on his face until the Guildmaster playfully laughed at him - then he'd run off to pack. He had the canvas bag he'd stuffed all his supplies into with him when he came out to the cliffs, and there he'd simply waited. The young Runner - yes, he was an actual Runner now after all this time - knew the group wouldn't be assembled for a few hours, but he was more than content to watch over the city's entrance while he waited. He could see the stables from his spot, a little distance away, and when it was time he'd go to meet them.

When he spotted two people that looked just a little more important than the usual guild member approach the stables, Asante figured that time was now.

He easily hopped down from his spot on the rocks, his bag slung over his back. He lingered just a moment longer in the shadow of Sando's entrance before he pulled a scarf over the top of his head and made his way toward the stables. The sun was low enough and his skin was dark enough that he wouldn't burn, but when the cold came he'd rather have the headwrap on now than struggle with it later. As he walked, the hard stone turning to loose sand, he tried to think what other Runners might have been assigned to the mission. There were plenty of people in the guild he'd come to like that he thought he might enjoy working with. Of course, there were an equal amount he would love to push off the edge of a cliff.

Might as well try to look on the bright side, he thought to himself, First official job and everything.

As Asante came up to the stables, his eyes sliding over the various transports - living and constructed alike - he walked directly over to the veteran Runners. He didn't know Hawke or Torvin personally, but he did know they'd be the ones heading this mission.

"Evening," he greeted coolly, raising a hand. He'd known ahead of time about the job so he wasn't at all surprised to see that not many more had gathered.

Although I may still draft up a CS, I am mostly likely going to withdraw as well. Even though there are some characters (and FCs!) I really like posted already, my character concept is pretty similar to a lot of others, in addition to some other things.

Good luck, have fun!!

ℙersonal 𝕀nformation

Name: Rhythmia Lapseus
House: Lord of House Lapseus
Age: 52
Race: Hum̶a̸n̷
Gender: Female
Appearance: Despite her true age, Rhythmia appears to be a young woman, no older than a teenager. Her height is average for a girl her apparent age, and she has a small bust - normal things that contrast with her head of short white hair. Rhythmia tends to wear multiple layers, making her build a little hard to judge, but under her clothes she has a toned athletic body. Her skin is very pale, making the small scars that litter her body hard to see. Rhythmia is much heavier than she looks because one of her arms and one of her legs has been replaced with the most advanced prosthesis available in Croania. One of her eyes has also been replaced with an artificial one, and this is more noticeable as the advanced artificial eye glows a much brighter red than the other. _{Inspiration art: [x][x][x][x]}

𝕊o 𝕆n & 𝕊o 𝔽orth

Reputation: It isn't a secret that Rhythmia works as a government sanctioned hitman. Because she specializes in taking down mages, many Mageborn feel uncomfortable around her - though her dark, stoic nature makes pretty much everyone uncomfortable. To some, she is a powerful force to be used against rouge mages, but to those that know her better, Rhythmia is seen more like a quiet, complicated protector.
Alignment: Neutral
Skills:

• Skilled hand-to-hand combatant
• Proficient with many kinds of weapons, including blades and guns
• A fairly good dancer, though she doesn't often do it anymore

Backstory:

S̸̗͍͆̃h̵̛͎͆ẽ̶̦ ̶͈͒̎ͅc̶̱̭̚h̷̩̆ǎ̵̰n̷̡̼̈́g̷͖̬͂e̴̖͒d̸̡̢͗

Born with a gate, Rhythmia had high hopes placed upon her to become the next Lord of House Lapseus. Scholars and tutors of all kinds were ushered into the estate in order to instruct both Rhythmia and her twin sister Melodia in all kinds of knowledge. However, it soon became clear that although Rhythmia was blessed with a gate, she was not exactly the brightest student. She struggled to retain more complex information, and she would much rather have been outside playing or even helping servants with chores than studying. After a few years, all of House Lapseus knew this: Rhythmia was blessed with a strong body, while Melodia was blessed with strong mind.

The decision of the family to officially endorse Melodia as the future Lord was set in stone when, on a family outing into a town that despised the current Lord, an aggravated citizen threw a bottle at the family's patriarch only for it to miss and shatter on Rhythmia's face, destroying her right eye.

After that incident the tutors of House Lapseus didn't drill Rhythmia quite as hard anymore. She received a pretty prosthetic eye, and she was told not to bother Melodia during the other girl's studies. During their childhood, the Lapseus twins hadn't been close. They grew further apart as Melodia prepared to take control of the house with the court date of their father for his crimes looming ever closer.

Rhythmia was a happy and hopeful child most of the time. She wanted to find some way to contribute to the family, especially after Melodia officially ascended as the Lord of house Lapseus. To that end, she left the estate with only a single servant, looking for some cause she could help. The servant, Huston, was a talented martial artist and one of the estate's guardsmen at the time. They traveled for months around the continent, far away from the lands of Lapseus because they trusted Melodia to take care of everything. Despite their distant relationship, Rhythmia had complete faith in her sister's abilities. However, when Rhythmia returned to the estate, she found an awful scene.

The guilt she felt at leaving her sister alone to bear the burdens of becoming a house Lord so young, dealing with the fallout of their corrupted family's actions, weighted heavy on Rhythmia. Again she left the estate, this time searching for the man or monster that had visited her home. It took a long time, but she found him...

T̸͖͈̿͠h̷͈̓ê̶͖͍n̵̹͛ ̴̼̓͋i̶̧̎͠ͅt̷̯̰̊ ̴̲͚̔ḩ̴̹̓̒ǎ̷̰́ͅp̸̪̣͛p̶̠̆ẻ̴͔̹͠ǹ̸̡̓e̸̢̨͋d̵̞͒̽ ̶̥̳̌

...after that, Rhythmia gradually changed. She who was once a warm person became a cold one. She had a singular focus for most of the following years: restore House Lapseus, protect and aid Melodia. She enlisted in the Croanian military, and after a decade ended up with a storied career. She was an especially adept mage killer, and though she held no real animosity for mageborn, she leaned into this niche hard. Many leaders made use of her skill, and she became renowned as a hunter of rogue mages.

Now, in the present, she has officially retired from service but remains a contract killer. She is publicly hired by Lords or all houses, military officials, and company CEOs to track down rogue mages and "enemies of the state," although she does accept private jobs with no name attached if the price is right.

She will be attending the peace talks alongside her sister Melodia. Though she is technically the second Lord of the House, she thinks of herself more as Melodia's second bodyguard for the event.

Miscellaneous: Rhythmia also accepts under the table hits from any source under the alias "Exultant," though her fees are quite high.

𝕋echnology

Equipment:

• Bionic Eye ver. Alkestis II
  • A right eye. Some of the most advanced technology available. The eye feeds Rythmia real-time field information directly into her brain. The information the eye can read includes but is not limited to: wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity, detecting magic use, the level of it and the direction it came from, sight in different frequencies, etc.
• Bionic Arm ver. Ariadne
  • A left arm. It is made of an Aterium skeleton with a hard rubber protective coating. The outermost layer is a hard metal alloy used during jobs, or a stitching of preserved flesh during down-time. Either way, the arm allows for greater strength and enhanced reaction speed. Has a blade attachment.
• Bionic Leg ver. Atalante
  • A right leg. It is made of an Aterium skeleton with a hard rubber protective coating. The outermost layer is always hard metal alloy. The leg allows for greater strength and speed, and features a heel-like shape capable of clamping down. Also has a blade attachment - in the knee.
• EM-15 Coil Guns "KERES"
  • A handgun that fires rounds via electromagnet. Used the most often of Rhythmia's guns, as the rest are less than subtle and ill-suited to indoor work. KERES is not a single gun, but instead shorthand for all of her coil guns. A single gun is called KER.
• AM46 Railgun "TENEBRAE"
  • A man portable rail gun. Using an electromagnetic force it is capable of launching precision rounds at incredibly deadly speeds. Despite it's 'portable' nature, it is still very large - larger than Rythmia herself, though she is able to carry it around with no problem. Takes a little while to charge up, but once ready it is a powerful, long range weapon.
• CG Pressurized Rifle "THANATUS"
  • A long barreled rifle that utilizes pressurized gas to launch rounds with unbelievable force. Has a strong kick back, and Rythmia has to take special preparations to use it effectively, which makes it near useless in the hands of anyone else. The gas super chills the rounds as it fires them.

Which is it?" The head of security for the Lapseus estate. Huston has been with the family since he was sixteen years old. He personally vets all servants working in the estate, and he handles all guests in person as well. He is very thorough and takes his job seriously, having remained loyal to House Lapseus for over four decades. He accompanied Rhythmia during her first time traveling, but did not go with her while she was seeking the "mysterious stranger." He regrets this. Huston is a jovial person overall and enjoys telling silly stories or corny jokes to lighten the mood when it's needed. He has a good relationship with both Lords of House Lapseus and Melodia's personal bodyguard, Vati, as well as the rest of the staff and servants. Many see him as a "fun grandpa" - but don't be fooled, he is a master of combat and can kick almost anyone's ass. Once upon a time he was in love with Rhythmia, but nothing came of it.
