Yoshua's Character Storage Mark VII

Antare, Keikoku

---

Summary: Idk....
Age: 16.
Rank: Genin.
Village Affiliation: Konohagakure.

Personal Information

Spoiler

Additional Appearance Details: Standing at 5'6 and weighing average for her age, Keikoku was an early bloomer, possessing a filled out figure and fairly mature face despite her youth. She always wears a scarf around her neck regardless of the temperature or occasion.

Keikoku's Garb

Fame: N/A.

Personality: A young woman of fiery passion and calculated intelligence, Keikoku looks at the world through a harsh lens instilled by her growing up during wartime, or at least in the aftermath of such. She sees most people either as a means to her ends or as monsters wearing masks of kindness. As such she trusts few and enjoys the company of even fewer. However, she is an actress and a marvelous one at that, allowing her to appear pleased or even positively enamored with someone, or the opposite of such, to fool her way into the good graces of those around her. However, this is not her only skill as Keikoku is an incredibly intuitive woman, tending to prefer going with her gut rather than following the spirit of the rules. With this intuition she not only makes decisions, but analyzes people, allowing her to easily pick up on the various nuances that make every individual, well, unique.

Still, while Keikoku may seem like the perfect girl on the outside and a manipulative bitch on the level just below she is in fact quite vulnerable at her core. Her acting is just that, acting, and her analytical and often socially destructive nature is a defense mechanism to keep people from getting to close. This is apparent almost solely when she is away from prying eyes, but with her team, or outright alone where her suppressed kindness and fierce loyalty make themselves known. In truth she is a team player with a strong sense of justice and an even more indomitable will.

History: Her family new to the village, Keikoku was born to a place unfamiliar to her parents, though they were welcomed there nonetheless. She grew up amongst adults who spoke of seals and jutsu while she played with her toys. She was encouraged to follow in her parent's footsteps and when it came down to it she was happy to do so. After all from a very young age her eyes would always light up when her parents spoke of their craft. It was so intricate and pretty back then, though as she grew old enough to understand they became more than just pretty symbols and instead became intricate and beautiful, though in a totally different way. They were complex and figuring them out was a puzzle that she felt driven to complete.

So it was that she joined the academy and eventually, in a relatively normal amount of time, graduated. Nonetheless she excelled, looked up to by her peers or disliked because of her talents. There was bullying because of their jealousy, but eventually she adapted, finding that it was far easier to play their little mind games better than they could then to relent and endure their jeers and petty pranks. When she graduated she didn't really expect that much would change, but as the days went on and she trained with her team she grew close to the two...protective even though perhaps not as much as she should have been.

This lack of protectiveness and a stern voice was what, in her mind, landed her and Kicho in a dangerous situation when they went on their first mission despite their sensei asking them to do otherwise. Not only did they leave Kareha behind to do it, but they overestimated their skills, with Kicho deciding to rashly rush in. Captured and at the mercy of the more experienced shinobi, Kicho's eyes had pleaded for her help, but she could do nothing in fear that the man would hurt her friend.

If it weren't for Kareha perhaps the two of them would be dead...or worse, captured by the enemy. Luckily that wasn't how things had played out. Nonetheless, ever since that day Keikoku has never once let her own doubt get in the way of protecting her teammates be it from others or themselves. She has come to respect Kareha's cautious and quiet nature and to value Kicho's decisiveness and lack of hesitation despite their individual faults.

She does her best to excel where they do not in hopes that should the day come that they are in a dangerous situation as before that they will be ready—if not individually, then together.

Combat Information

Spoiler

General Information

Combat Summary: Keikoku is a tempest of movement, utilizing her scarf, Arras as both a defensive and offensive implement to unleash potentially devastating fuinjutsu or disarm an unprepared opponent. While appearing fiery and erratic at first, one soon finds that Keikoku is a skilled tactician, and so one should never assume that she's thought any less than three steps ahead.

Skills:
D - Taijutsu(Including her scarf as a weapon/tool)
C - Fuinjutsu
C - Chakra Control
D - Ninjutsu

Weapon & Summoning List

Hider

Standard Weapons:
80 Kunai.
20 Shuriken.
10 feet of wire.
150 chakra reactive tags.
--------
Unique Equipment:

Name: Arras.
Description: A scarf always worn on Keikoku's person, this cloth is of a unique make as it was sewn by its wearer's late mother, each thread having chakra integrated into its very fibers. As a result the fabric possesses the tensile strength of steel with the flexibility of cloth. Arras is very receptive to Keikoku's chakra, but will actively reject/repulse the chakra of others, even if it is weaved into ninjutsu. The scarf, upon Keikoku channeling chakra throughout the entirety of its length, will glow in areas, revealing a variety of seals.

While a considerably less important trait of Arras, the scarf is in fact capable of altering its color based on the user's ability to move their chakra through it in different patterns. Last of its physical properties is the fact that it is incredibly dense. This property is due to a seal storing the majority of its true length. As such it should be noted that the scarf can lengthen, shorten, or even widen as the user sees fit. One truly skilled in the art of chakra manipulation will find themselves able even to alter the scarf's shape.

Special Skills: While Keikoku has made a point of studying the vast amount of seals transcribed upon Arras' surface, she is unaware that the scarf also holds a trove of seals within its form. The item is in truth an heirloom which is built upon with each passing generation in her family line. Each seal on or within Arras cannot immediately be utilized by Keikoku as specific frequencies and patterns of chakra must be utilized to activate them the first time. This, naturally, requires incredibly fine chakra control and because of this Keikoku has yet to access even 1/100th of Arras's capabilities and like many before her, she may never grasp its true power. At current time, Keikoku has identified and been able to access eight seals.

Additionally it should be noted that Arras is just as capable of storing chakra, or being altered by it so as to become a more effective weapon. This reveals that it can also have additional seals placed upon or within it as it is very receptive of chakra to the extent that it can easily amplify the chakra control of its wielder as long as the chakra is within its form.

Jutsu List

Canon Jutsu

Hider

Fūnyū no Jutsu(Enclosing Technique)
Shikoku Fūin(Finger Carving Seal)
Nunoshibari no Jutsu (Cloth Binding Technique)
Kuchiyose: Raiko Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation) - Applied to all her weapons and tools. Thus will allow her to recall them back to her person or into seals located on her person.

Fire Sealing Method - Though the fuuinjutsu is specified to fire she is capable of sealing other elemental jutsu. Each seal may only store one jutsu at a time.

Custom Jutsu

Hider

Name of Technique: Fūin renketsu(_封印連結 'Seal Linking').
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Description: Used in most barrier techniques this allows the user to link one seal to another and even transmit overlaid seals from between the links. Additionally the user can create an area-of-effect by linking 2 or more seals. This can also be used to link 2 seals with chakra within and thus make a path for things -like vibrations- to travel through. This seal is inscribed on her palms and the bottoms of her feet, allowing her to place them simply by making contact with an object and instigating a slight influx of chakra into the seal. The seal can be easily removed by damaging what it is on. She must make contact with either her body or her specialized tools to implement this seal onto a surface. The seal has the normal weakness of typical fūinjutsu.

---

Name of Technique: Fuinjutsu: Tenkō(_{フイン術: 転向} 'Sealing Technique: Switch').
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique is a small set of interlaid lines and circles that can be applied to any of the user's fuinjutsu. Effectively, this allows the user to activate or deactivated a fuinjutsu's effect by preforming 3 hand seals. This is often utilized in tangent with the fire sealing method techniques and has the effect of allowing the user to release the jutsu from the scroll or otherwise object.

---

Name: Hirukigō(_蛭記号 'Leech-symbol').
Type: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: 5.
Description: A seal stored within Arras, Hirukigō, once activated will continuously pull chakra from any available source unless blocked by another seal. While this makes it incredibly useful to sap chakra from enemies it also comes with the unfortunate side effect of draining the user's chakra when they are of insufficient skill to properly control the technique or do not possess a seal to block this process. As such, Hirukigō is only useable, at current time, through Arras, which acts as a filter to the potentially dangerous technique.

>As a result of this Hirukigō is weaker, drawing only a negligible amount of chakra.

---

Name: Surikomi no Jutsu(_{刷り込みの術} 'Imprinting technique').
Type: Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range:
Hand Signs: 0-5.
Description: A technique allowing a seal user to imprint chakra onto an object in such a format that a seal can be created on the given surface or in a prefabricated way wherein a seal is automatically placed upon the use of the technique, Surikomi no Jutsu is held within Keikoku's scarf first and foremost, though she does have a pair of leather gloves that allow her to achieve the same results.

This technique requires 8 seconds of focus when the user possesses chakra control or fūinjutsu talent of equivalent rank. For each rank higher than the technique's own the user may subtract 2 seconds of prep time due to the increase in skill. Should even a small sliver of foreign chakra be channeled through the imprinted chakra before it manifests as a seal the technique is disrupted. The handseals required for the technique decrease as skill increases. Full mastery allows an individual to shed the limitation of handseals entirely.

---

Name: Mahi hyōshō(_麻痺表象 'Paralysis emblem').
Type: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: 1.
Description: An exceptionally simple seal, Mahi hyōshō causes whatever chakra is in contact with it to stop moving into new locations. As such the chakra in a person's body can properly circulate, but cannot be removed from their chakra network and their physical body is similarly unable to move as their chakra system is essentially locked in the space it is occupying upon the application of the seal.

While a less common use of the technique, a skilled shinobi could potentially use this technique to counter some forms of ninjutsu or use it to establish defenses of a sort. It is thought that this technique was, and perhaps still is, essential to the creation of barriers. While considered a D rank technique due to its miniscule chakra drain on the user, the technique is effective even on higher level techniques all the way up to B rank. Nonetheless should the seal have no remaining medium or should it be disrupted by a sudden and skillful spike of chakra it can, and likely will, break.

---

Name: Dōtai gyōretsu(_導体行列 'Circuit matrix').
Type: Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: N/A.
Description: A bizarre technique designed to create specific channels or pathways of chakra in a body or object, Dōtai gyōretsu requires intense chakra control. With it a skilled individual may create chakra pathways inside of their body that can be utilized for different purposes or cause a variety of effects. A master of the technique can layer fuinjutsu upon this technique applying specific traits and properties to chakra that moves through the 'circuits' created by the technique. Currently Keikoku is not skilled enough in the techniques use to do this. However, the technique acts as an amplifier to her already fairly impressive chakra control as well as a tool of sorts.

The technique has been displayed to speed up, slow down, and divert the flow of chakra in various mediums. When utilized the technique creates a series of lines and interwoven symbols on the surface of the affected person or item. Any property or effect that the user is already capable of causing with their chakra can be achieved via this method and/or amplified by such.

A Patchwork World [Worldbuilding and Exploration]

Starting location will depend on a given group or player. However, for now I'm gonna say we're starting in a large capital city on the continent of Vostira. The city is called Calivast.

The three main starting areas right now are all capital cities. There is one on each continent.

The continents are called Nymia, Koir, and Vostira.

Their biggest cities are Vaemia, Olias, and Calivast respectively.

Each city is a capital to one of the great nations/coalitions/forces on their respective continent, but they are by no means the only capital cities.

A Patchwork Tome

Bayera

---

Continents

---

Nymia

_Vaemia

Often called the Fortress in the clouds or the Airborne Citadel, Vaemia is the largest capital city on Nymia and it, quite literally, reigns from on high, looking down upon the world from just beneath the peak of the Crooked Mountain. Vaemia, unlike your common city, is located hanging in the air, supported by a mixture of magical and technological means--though it favors the latter. It is a technological marvel, considered one of the world's great wonders. The city, while possible to reach via airship or flying mount, is otherwise inaccessible, often locking the poor or disadvantaged upon the ground ever to stare in wonder at the glittering construct.

While looked up to literally and figuratively by those who dwell upon the earth as a shining beacon of progress, the city is in fact a dangerous place plagued by the worst sorts of criminals. Murderers, dangerous technopaths, and prolific hackers abound, creating an underground that one could only describe as unnaturally healthy. While magic does exist within its bounds, its citizens often look down on those of a magical persuasion in favor of their tools and trinkets. As such there is something of a harsh rivalry between two factions.

The Technocytes and Magisters rule each their own half of the city and while their rivalry is a serious one, they both know that should either forsake their duties the city would truly fall into chaos--something neither side can allow despite the enmity between them. While trade is important to Vaemia as a city it is more a place of manufacturing than it is of trade.

That is, unless you consider its blackmarket....

Koir

_Olias

A port city in an optimal location for international trade, Olias is a place of duplicity. While by day it appears lively and rife with activity, its nature changes drastically as night falls. While Olias may not possess a blackmarket like Vaemia it is nonetheless a place of disappearance and mystery where the veil is thick and the line between opposites thin. Its people are wary of strangers, though most put on a front during the day, inviting tourists and foreigners alike.

Nonetheless, of the three biggest capitals Olias is surely the most mysterious, possessing monuments of old gods, a largely unexplored system of catacombs that go deeper than most might think and a history lost to time. It is the oldest city in Koir and even its founder has been lost to time. Why it is even called Olias, or what the name might mean, is similarly lost. This is of course not at all assisted by the fact that most advanced technology ceases to work within Olias' bounds, the reason for which is yet to be uncovered. On the other hand, magic is far more potent, though this too has its disadvantages as what may have before lit a candle, might set fire to a house.

It is a power that one must learn to control...should they survive long enough to do so, they will be quite lucky. Though should they go looking in Olias, they may not find that their luck holds as those who seek, are often found and if they are not...then what they find is just as likely to be their downfall.

As such, Olias has long been known as the City of the Lost to those who know its true nature. To others it appears just another port city, though perhaps a large one. Regardless, with exotic wares arriving every day and people disappearing almost every night, who knows what one might find in the Lost City.

Vostira

_Calivast

A city nestled in the mainland of Vostira, Calivast is the proud capital of Isira, a bustling nation brimming with culture and trade. A unity of states more than a single government is the defining point of Isira as well as the trade and small conflicts between each of its regions. Calivast is very much the central hub of this trade as everything that moves through Vostira must at some point pass through it. With sprawling plains laid about its form, its center 'pon a hill, and surroundings crisscrossed by canals, the city is a constant buzz of activity regardless of the season.

From far and wide traders, travelers, and troublemakers come to find their way in the world be it through honest ends or not. While the ruling party in Calivast is in fact human, the country to which it is capital is very much a melting pot of races, humanoid and otherwise. All kinds are considered equal within the city's bounds even if such is often not the place throughout the rest of Isira.

While not immediately apparent, Calivast is very much a well-to-do city as while on the surface its architecture is wizened and old, beneath its surface brims the technology of the new age. Its river is divied into waterways and artificial sailing canals; its buildings are reinforced with steel and repaired by nanites; and here and there one may find that its people sport not so mundane items.

Truly it is not a place to take things at face value. In fact, doing so is rather ill advised. Why this is however, is a thing one discovers for themselves.

A Patchwork Tome

Herein lies LATS and Lore

---

_{Lore Creation}

Hider

In short the Lore system will be a system to organize the submission of lore so as not to simply throw elements into the world that would not properly fit into whatever established framework it will come to possess. The first step is the concept stage, wherein an individual will approach one of the loremasters(GMs) with their ideas for the world, regardless of its nature. A conversation will be had and questions will be asked to further clarify said ideas. After this, the player will be directed to utilize a Lore Sheet in the interest of documenting their ideas in an organized fashion. This sheet is first sent to the GM for review. Once given the okay, it is posted in the OOC where any other parties may view it.

While players may comment and make known their opinion on the lore entry, and such will be considered before final review (followed by integration, revision, or dismissal of the entry in question) ultimately the decision is left to the Loremasters--though constructive criticism, questions, and general discourse are appreciated and encouraged.

To review, the steps are as follows:

1.) Lore idea is presented to the Loremasters(GMs), discussed, then given the go ahead (or not).
2.) Lore Sheet is reviewed by the Loremasters(GMs). Entry is approved, denied, or revised.
3.) Lore Sheet is presented in the OOC for player reactions and feedback.
4.) Entry is reviewed once more by the Loremasters(GMs).
5.) Entry is finalized, then integrated into Patchwork's Lore Thread if applicable.

Lore Sheets

Once you been cleared to fill out a sheet, contact the Loremasters. Conversely, we will give you a sheet upon approving a concept.

The categories are as follows:

Locations
Flora and Fauna
Sentient Races
Realms
Organizations
Magics
History
Deities and Primordial Forces
Religions and Cults
Technology

Lore Post Denotation

In the spirit of organization, below are detailed a series of tags which should be utilized when denoting lore while in character that one wishes such to be defined. The idea is to allow for small and subtle pieces of lore to be created or alluded to by Exploration-type players whilst in character, thus giving prompts to those who would world build to flesh out and give further depth to a given situation and the world at large.

The tags are as follows:

[GM] GameMaster. Tags used to denote that the GM team should define something.
[A1] Anyone. A tag to denote that any player can define the lore in question.
[COM] Community. A tag to denote that the player would like to collaborate with others.
[IP] Personal: A tag denoting that the player will define the lore.

At the end of an in character post in which a player mentions lore that has yet to be defined a hider must be created. Within this hider any undefined terms and potential lore should be mentioned and labeled with their appropriate tags.

Examples

As Denaria crept through what the stranger had called Calethane's Respite, she noted the strange glow that emanated from a series of holes in the cavern's ceiling. Perhaps they were some sort of exotic plant that lived in the cave.

---

Deeper within Calethane's Respite, Denaria found herself staring down into a chasm whose bottom she could not see. Yet, while she knew not its depth, she did know that whatever one might find at the bottom of the chasm was a beast of terrible vastness for twas from the chasm that a deep hum resounded, interrupted only by the shuddering breaths of something. Yet, she found herself far more disturbed by the shifting of the walls that surrounded her, which appeared as if covered by some sort of writhing mass. Whether it was an energy or a living thing she did not know and frankly had no wish to discover.

With this thought in mind she turned her back to the scene and began her trek back. Hopefully it would be as uneventful as her way in had been.

Hider

[IP] Calethane's Respite.
[A1] Exotic plant.
[GM] Beast.
[COM] Writhing mass.

---

_{Player Accountability}

Hider

A relatively simple system so as to keep account of characters as well as the quality of lore, the Accountability system is twofold. Its first important duty is related to those who wish to join. In essence, one must simply present interest in the OOC, at which point they will be contacted by the GMs and requested to fill out the a Player Profile, found below.

Player Profile

[hider=INSERT USERNAME HERE'S Profile][u][b]Nicknames:[/b][/u] (Optional, but enjoyable :P)
[u][b]RP Timeline:[/b][/u] (How long have you been RPing)
[u][b]Preferred Pronouns:[/b][/u] (Optional)
[u][b]Preferred Genres:[/b][/u] (What sorts of RPs and literature do you prefer to read, create, and write in?)
[u][b]Participation Type:[/b][/u] Simply denote whether or not you wish to make lore, play a character, or both. If you'd be open to a Co-GM role later on, put that here as well as the opportunity may present itself in the future.

[u][b]Roleplay Sample:[/b][/u] (At least two paragraphs. Mind grammar, punctuation and spelling. Typos are alright, as long as they are not glaring and/or consistent)[/hider]

Once the Player Profile is filled out, reviewed and acceptance is given, the player may move on to create their Character Concept or Character Sheet.

Essentially a Character Concept is a paragraph or more description of a character, outlining their history, equipment, and abilities (as well as any particularly noteworthy personality traits). This is to prevent Mary sues/Gary Stus, maintain player accountability, and most importantly to stimulate interactions between characters.

It should be noted that while we do not strictly require any sort of full character sheet, they are nonetheless appreciated as additional effort put into a Character Concept allows us to ascertain more of the character's nature and thus perhaps facilitate plot where wanted or necessary.

Additionally, should one submit a fully fledged character sheet, it will be graded as such.

---

_Tiers

Hider

While this system is still a work in progress and will be expanded on, one really must only take away a few things in regards to understanding it. Namely that the Tier system is to properly categorize a given character's strengths and weaknesses from a combat perspective. While currently we have simply devised the base form of what we have termed the "General Tier System," it should be noted that later on categories will be created to further assist in the accurate gauging of a given character's abilities.

No character, at current time, may start out stronger than T5 in regards to combat capability.

The Tier System can be found below:
Link

When the system is updated, it will be an announcement in the OOC.

---

_Setting

Hider

Our final stop, Setting is less a system and more a method with which to keep track of characters and interactions ICly. This "system's" core purpose is to allow players to have their characters be in essentially any given location and within any given time period--though the time period is somewhat limited, thus bringing me to our next point.

While I will endorse using linear time, I am going to allow what I call Semi-liquid time, wherein a given timeframe is open, allowing players to post anywhere within that time frame so long as the general time stamp is in their post as according to the rules of the setting system.

Setting System

While within the same city as other player characters, all posts may be made within a 3 day period ICly. This means that one could post anywhere between Monday and Tuesday on a general calendar. One must date their posts so that characters who are not working within the same timeline do not interact across time in a paradoxical fashion. When beyond a distance of several hundred miles, say on another continent, in another realm, or in several days travel (via horseback, not car) distance from another character, your may be within a week's period, rather than just 3 days of a given realm's beginning timeframe. Flashbacks are a unique instance in this regard, as past a week backwards in time, any event may be played out.

Time Denotation

Now, perhaps just as important as understanding the timeframes wherein one may post, is how one denotes their time and location in a post.

The minimal format is as follows:

[center][u][b]Character Name[/b][/u]
[i]Realm--Continent--Vicinity(city, town, landmark)[/i]
Day/time of day(midday, night, midnight, evening, morning, etc)[/center]

Additionally make sure that it is noted if a post is a flashback, by titling it with "Flashback," above the character name. You may add additional things such as alias and you may even denote that your character is moving from one location to another. If someone is moving from the ghettos of a city, to the upper class district, feel free to specify this, it is helpful for other players to find you. Movement from one location to another is denoted by an arrow [-->] with the starting location on the left side and the destination on the right.

The rest of this thread shall be dedicated to the documentation of A Patchwork World's lore.

A Patchwork World [Worldbuilding and Exploration]

A Patchwork World

---

---

Introduction

---

A Patchwork World is a RP in which the players are openly invited to assist in the creation of the world at large to varying degrees. One may choose either to simply create a character to live in this world and develop its story, or one may choose to create the world around the players. If one chooses to, they may do both. While there will be a process for the creation of lore, it will not be detailed here, but instead in the Lore thread.

The overall system, which will be split between this post and the first post of the Lore thread, will henceforth be known as LATS. While the Lore section of LATS is not necessary for normal play in Patchwork, the Player Accountability and Setting systems are of particular importance. Additionally, the Tier system is important, but more for reference than anything else.

If you've gotten to this point, then welcome and may your stay be a long one!

Premise

---

In the world of Bayera, 'pon the great continent of Koir, lies the ancient Olias, the City of the Lost. A place of duplicity, by day the city appears lively and rife with activity--its inhabitants welcoming, if somewhat wary of strangers. However, as night falls, people disappear and mystery shrouds even the most mundane of the city's Inhabitants.

For you, drawn to Olias, it is here where things begin. It is here where you might find what you seek, here in the place where things go to disappear.

A Patchwork World [Worldbuilding/Roleplaying in a Void]

A Patchwork World

---

---

Introduction

---

<sub>A world which is to be brought into being by the great minds of many, Patchwork is a RP project wherein a group sets out to make a world. However, rather than craft a world and place it into the fold, the intent is instead to allow a space for this creation whilst also experiencing this fledgling verse as it manifests. As such certain guidelines must be established, lest it be chaos which results from collaboration, rather than a harmonic world, though surely not one bereft of conflict in its myriad forms.

This is to be a roleplay wherein a world is brought to bear by the inhabitants who dwell within it, whomever they may be. Its genres will be listed below, as well as some core themes as they are considered and finalized.

Central to this RP's mechanics will be a series of systems namely the Lore, Tier, Setting, and Accountability systems--The LATT System, for short.

join, feel free to express interest here in the OOC, though you will have to go through the Accountability system before joining in on the fun.

Regardless, welcome! Let your stay be a long one.</sub>

---

Thematics

---

Science Fiction
Modern Fantasy
high Fantasy
Dark Fantasy

The above genres are likely to be central to Patchwork, though it is hard to say what other sorts of things will find their place in this fledgling world as it grows from its infancy as an idea to adulthood as a fully realized verse. Who knows what might happen.

---

LATS

---

As mentioned earlier, LATS is a series of systems which will be utilized as guidelines for various elements of the RP. Specifically LATS will be utilized to organize (L)ore, player (A)ccountability, power (T)ier, and (S)etting.

These will be utilized to organize and facilitate character and lore creation, as well as organize Power Levels/combat, and the location/timeline of characters and areas.

They are expanded on in the OOC.

Had a thought @Dark Jack and @Shienvien, how do/would familiars work in the Prophecy, if at all? Mostly because it suddenly occurred to me that Ilitas might actually have one, perhaps in the form of some sort of hawk/eagle (just a bird of prey really).

Also yes, I've not stopped progress on her haha. Though I did get caught up in RL...so there's not been much of anything accomplished since I got those first questions answered. Nonetheless, I'm actually coding a CS for her at the moment in the interest of giving myself some structure to work with.

Also really struggling with her appearance as well, there are unfortunately not actual pictures of Deigan lol. If I had more money I'd actually commission something ^^;

While appearing almost as if it were just a toy, the seams of the sphere hint at its multifaceted nature. For while its stored form is a sphere, often found tossed between hands or hidden in a small holster kept beneath his coat, Rigged is in truth an incredibly complex set of mechanisms, which allow the sphere to alters it shape and function between many things so long as it has the proper components for such. The metallic substance it is composed of is hyper durable, its melting point being exceptionally high. Any electrical energy which strikes it is pulled into its core. It pulls forth static electricity to keep itself charged. Its various forms are activated by way of specific pressure being applied in patterns across the surface of the orb, making it difficult to utilize without proper training.

While many of Rigged's forms are simple tools that Raythe might need on a mission, there are several notable forms that ought be mentioned. They are detailed below.

• Pistol—Looks the same as the Wily Rangers, though it functions normally. Its ammo is variable.
• Lighter—Can be adjusted to release more or less fire.
• Crowbar—Or any form of rod.
• Folding round shield.
• Bladed weaponry
• Miniature fan.
• Lockpick.
• Tazer.

Last and least known of Rigged's capabilities is one of magnetic ability as when combined with Maestro's magnetic field, Rigged can separate itself into many 3 inch diameter circular plates with sharp edges. These can be controlled within Maestro's area of influence, allowing them to be moved about. Additionally, since Rigged is wirelessly linked to Seer, these tiny plates of durable metal can be directed by its micro chip at the sacrifice of roughly 20% of its camera system. This effectively creates an automated defense. It should be noted that all of these plates can link together and be used as flexible armor.

Rigged weighs 80 lbs total, while each sphere is 10 lbs on its own.

Seer

Consisting of two pairs of glasses, one depicted in his appearance and the more notable of the two depicted below. The first pair of sunglasses, when deactivated, are tinted so darkly that one could not see through their lenses. However, upon being flipped on, which occurs when the “arms,” of the glasses touch Raythe's ears and take a small tissue sample. Upon verifying their wearer their lenses shift their purpose, revealing a set of double mirrors where the black lenses were. The black lens effect is achieved by way of a thin film and a weak adhesive. This adhesive is heated lightly upon activation and the film is drawn into the frame of the glasses. Once active, Raythe can see through the glasses whereas anyone looking upon them sees merely a reflection. This pair additionally has several mirrors positioned strategically on the “arms,” and rim of the glasses, allowing him a sort of additional bit of peripheral vision. These sunglasses, while serving minimal purpose, are in fact a homage to Ethan Baine.

---

Utilized primarily in combat and once Raythe begins to take a mission seriously, at which point he will don these sunglasses. Upon being donned they will lock to his head, the “arms” which encompass his ears expanded outwards over them and activating a series of headphones. Tiny microphones and cameras are installed upon the arms of the sunglasses and throughout Raythe's overcoat and suit. These pick up sounds, and allow him to filter through them, silencing some and amplifying others.

The cameras on the other hand are tied to the glasses of Seer, which project a holographic screen within the entire field of view of their wearer. These screens interface with a pair of colorless contacts on Raythe's eyes. With this only information that is required, dictated by a small computer in the glasses and throughout his clothes and commands relayed from the implanted contacts—which cannot be taken off. This allows Raythe, though only with Seer donned, to swiftly sift through audio and video information from many angles. While used primarily for tracking, he can narrow the focus of Seer, allowing him to track up to 5 human-sized targets with incredible accuracy.

Since the cameras can zoom he can also so at least twenty times further than he could with unaided eyes. The screens will focus and blur according to the direction his eyes are facing and how they are focusing on things. However, the cameras do not have any other settings due to the limitations of the processing chip. It should be noted that Seer is connected to a series of micro-speakers, which just like the cameras and microphones are positioned throughout his clothes. This allows it to mimic any sound taken into it or mix sounds together to emit from any number of these speakers.

Seer is composed of dense plastics and durable nano-weave to help disperse force over their surfaces. This makes them exceptionally durable. The lenses themselves are effectively dense “bullet proof” plastic. This defends the wearers eyes from several bullets as long as they remain below .50 calibers. Seer is magnetically shielded, but can be fried by directly applied electrical input.

Maestro

A series of seven metallic rods with sharpened ends and the capability to fold, so as to become flat, Maestro is concealed by slipping 6 of the rods into the primary rod. The primary rod's entire form is silver, rather than black and it tapers to one end. However, when it is to be used, Maestro is overturned and its ornate handle splits open in two directions with the application of pressure in select areas. In response each rod hidden therein is extracted—this can be done individually or sequentially. As each rod slips out of its casing it unfolds and, as its end meets the top of the shaft within which it is stored, Anti-alchemy substance in addition to trace amounts of mercury and a fair deal of iron in liquid state, all of which is pressurized to an extreme degree so as to fill the hollow of the rod in question. This occurs for each rod in addition to them being electrically charged, the engines and static absorbers within their forms activating.

Once removed the rods emit their own electromagnetic field, which can be manipulated via the application of pressure on the “cane,” which also remains charged, in addition to possessing its own store of the aforementioned substance. Like all the rods, the main rod has a series of slots, which can open and close to intake or expel Ax3. The substances within the rods, due to being electrically charged, can be manipulated by the field cast by the rods and, furthermore, can be heated within the rods and expelled in a liquid or gaseous form in the case of Ax3.

Additionally, it should be noted that if planted into the ground, the rods are capable of focusing their EM field into the area designated by their arrangement. Separately, each rod projects a 10 meter EM field. This includes the “cane,” but unlike the other rods, Maestro's core is capable of exerting influence over its electromagnetic field directly. This is done, once more, via the application of pressure on the handle.

These traits, overall, make Maestro a rather versatile tool—if somewhat weighty due to the three aforementioned substance contained within it. The amounts are as follow: 117 fluid ounces of Ax3, 76.7 fluid ounces of mercury and 67.6 fluid ounces of iron. This results in Maestro, in its concealed state, weighing precisely 141 lbs. In its active form, Maestro's weight is divvied between its 7 rods making each weigh approximately 20 lbs. The question thus remains, how is Maestro easily carried and wielded when concealed as a cane? Simply put, its magnetic field acts upon it and is manipulated by pressure applied to the handle, as per the usual. This means that Maestro appears to act as a normal cane in Raythe's hands, but in those of any other becomes a nigh useless implement.

>7 lbs of Ax3. 67.6 lbs of mercury. 50 lbs of iron.
>Maestro total weight: 140 lbs.
>Each rod weighs 20 lbs.

Maestro's components are linked wirelessly both to each other—so as to transmit commands to modify their EM field(s)—and to the rest of Raythe's equipment. Maestro is composed of an alchemically modified material, which acts more or less the same as a metal, but is about as easy to damage as diamond while being as durable as titanium.

Alchemy Specialization:

Transitive Alchemy

Alchemic Styles: Vocem; Motem.
Description: A specialization considered particularly rare, Transitive Alchemy focuses on the changeable nature of one's surroundings, thus allowing those with affinity to it to alter just how mutable their surroundings truly are. The reason for its rarity is simple in that few people are drawn to the idea of change itself, whereas most use it in some manner—revealing that Transitive Alchemy is an alchemy which mixes itself with all others. When honed, this specialization, while not nearly as straightforwards in the manner that it influences the world around its user, allows its wielder to increase or decrease just how mutable their surroundings are. Again, unlike most alch-specs, Transitive alchemy works only within a specific area of influence. Rather than simply cast alchemy to change a particular object in their surroundings, the wielder of this specialization casts a wide field and then orients and focuses that field to achieve their desired result(s).

>When utilizing a level 3 cast, Raythe's area of influence is sphere with a radius of 10 meters.
>When utilizing a level 3 cast, Raythe is incapable of affecting living things directly with his alch spec.

[:- PERSONAL DATA -:]

Appearance

NOTE: Raythe stands at 5'9 and weighs 180 lbs without his equipment. With his equipment he weighs roughly 400 lbs.

Personality

A man who lives to pursue the eternal muse, Raythe considers himself an artist made eternal critic. He is a connoisseur of the world's unrealized masterpiece, the dance of consciousness and the bodies who follow and bend to its will. He sees nature as a canvas upon which those who take action paint, but the process is twofold he knows. Nature shapes its children, but its children grow to shape it in turn. It is all a cycle and so what moves may be moved and all is susceptible to the forces of reality.

It is with this mindset that Raythe faces the world, his mind ready to mold it and those within it as is needed. To him there are no solid things only slowly shifting ideas taken form. As such it is easy for him to justify essentially anything to himself as the world is impermanent, why can beliefs and morals not be as such as well?

Knowing these things makes Raythe's rather bizarre behavior at least somewhat more easy to comprehend as to many he is an eccentric enigma bouncing from one end of the personality spectrum to the other as if bound by nothing and no one. The reality is he is something of a perfectionist with an extreme attention to detail and a vast amount of rather particular preferences. While this is often hidden beneath a practiced mask of confidence and stability, Raythe is more often than not frantically attempting to justify the imperfections of the world around him.

History: To be revealed.

Additional Information

Fluent in sign language, Latin, french, Italian and English. Raythe has an incredible ability to learn as he has an innate understanding of patterns and how to discern them. He also has skill in Spanish though he is better at understanding it than he is at speaking it.
