Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

If we're getting partners, what happens if we end up with an odd number of players?

@The Fox Without

Trio, or one of the fifth years goes solo/mentor modu or something.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Just dropping by. Still a thing, see a few interesting characters.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Full Name Raule Cardias Fake Name Nada. Nickname(s) None. Gender Male Age 20 Year Fifth Birthday November 21st Astrological Sign Scorpio Species Voidlings (Human) The Voidlings come from many different races and share no similarities except for one: they have been unfortunate to catch the attention of those vastly their betters. The effects of even a small amount of Void power can mutate the affected into great monstrosities, leave them unchanged, or anything in between. The effects can be somewhat directed on the whims of the Voidkin, but are still unpredictable even then, As such the cases of the Voidlings are unique to the individual. For Raule, the results were minor appearance changes. His ears elongated drastically while his hair was bleached a snow white. His nails naturally sharpened until it was more accurate to call them claws and his eyes are now red, and glow a soft crimson in the dark. Voidkin These paradoxical beings for the most part are still largely shrouded in mystery, if only because they so rarely bother to interact with the worlds. Even then most of their interactions seem to be limited to spreading their power at random, infusing individuals with mere drops of their energy. Aside from these mysterious incidents these beings seem content to remain where they reside. Their ability to reach into either world aside, little else is known about their abilities. Presumably they are capable of far greater feats than the Voidlings, but to what scale is undetermined. Class Dark Brawler A deadly close quarter combatant that specializes in unarmed styles mixed with the natural energies, both Void and human, that flows through the user’s body. Capable of reinforcing their bodies to superhuman levels, they shrug off mighty blows while returning them in kind. Their Void energy results in powerful, but self-destructive bursts of power that allow them to erase enemies in their way before their bodies begin to erode from within.

At the height of his power so far, Raule can wrap himself in a shroud of Void energy for about 10 minutes. The energy would be dense enough at this point to render small arms fire essentially ineffective, and with it coating his fists he'd be able to destroy armored units with sustained assault. He's also capable of firing short-ranged blasts of Void energy that would leave no trace of an unprotected human. While in this state, his physical prowess is also pushed to the utmost limits. Even without the coating of Void energy his fists can pulverize stone, and he's tough enough that small arms fire would prove insufficient to put him down immediately. In terms of speed and agility, unless the wielder is superhuman themselves firearms are near useless in close quarters given he can move faster than a regular human would be able to keep up and aim against.

Weapon Klaenr a Tomi. Finding a material that was able to withstand the Void’s energy was not an easy a task. He was forced to venture far beyond the safety zones of the Black Gale. Finding a smith that could work it was even harder. It took a master blacksmith who had adopted the advanced technologies of Earth to melt and shape the material. His weapons are a pair of claw-tipped gauntlets, and sharpened greaves; the front is shaped into a sharp cutting edge and is a bit heavier than regular pieces as a result. The metal is a white-grey in coloration. The gauntlets are covered in a perpetual layer of frost, and leave frost crystals in the air with their passing. The greaves on the other hand crackle with electricity, sparks and arcs often dancing around the pair. World Lucis Short Biography A fairly closed lip is kept when it comes to Raule’s whereabouts prior to his time at the Academy. As far as anybody knows he survived and was changed by an encounter with a Voidkin when he was 13. The small town and surrounding forest he called home was not so fortunate and erased from existence, a massive crater left in its place. What occurred in the two years prior to his arrival at the Academy is still anyone’s guess, but he’s attended it for the last five years successfully. Personality Despite his appearance and “race”, Raule enjoys the days he can spend without the company of his weapons. Flexible and tolerant, he goes with the flow rather easily amongst his acquaintances. Not overly cheerful or enthusiastic, Raule is more reserved about how he expresses himself. Reliable and responsive though, he’s the type of person to take things into his own hands rather than wait for others, but he’ll never try and stand in the spotlight. Partner Guess it’s up in the air. Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) Strictly a close-ranged fighter, if kept at a distance there’s not much Raule can do to his opponents. His reach with Void-based abilities extend a bit further, but only a dozen feet or so. While he’s fairly good at managing his limits, overuse of Void energy will erode his body despite its innate resistance. His eyes will begin to glow a blood red once the threshold has been reached. Skills/Abilities/Traits Physically more able than a human, even without tapping into internal sources of power. He’s stronger, faster, more durable, and overall just better. His existence, like all other Voidkins, is an anomaly. While he still requires sleep and does age, many of his biological needs are no longer that. The Void essentially constantly purges his body of external influences and sustains him in their absence. He requires no sustenance and has a high resistance to poisons, toxins, and diseases. At the same time, magic that influences one’s internals such as telepathy or mental illusions are quickly broken against Raule. Sadly, beneficial magics, such as healings or blessings, are also rendered ineffective for him. Magic with enough power behind it will punch through the Void’s effects, but its effects will be reduced. Void energy is highly destructive to put mildly. If it exists, the Void will try and fix that and leave nothing in its passing. Matter, energy, even spiritual existences are all touchable with the paradoxical energy.

It essentially acts as a universal corrosive and will, given enough time and a steady supply, dissolve anything into nothing. Density is the main factor in how resistant something is towards the Void's effect as there is more material to corrode away.

As befitting of his class designation, Raule is an experienced warrior. He fares well in messy melees, but shines in combat against individuals. Despite still attending the Academy, he’s already seen his fair share of ventures into the Black Gale. The fact that he has returned alive speaks enough. Other His sigil. Located on his right shoulder blade.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Huh. Raule gets designation, cool. Just wondering if the explanation on the Int. Check was acceptable.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

How much of this void power Raule could use, say, the maximum extent of his void power.

@VarionusNW

Pushing himself to the point where he's actively hurting his body would basically cloak him in a shroud of Void energy. He'd have about ten minutes or so in this form before his internal injuries get too bad for him to recover on his own. The shroud would be dense enough to eat most small arms fire before they could hit him and he'd be an effective anti-armor "unit" at that point with the Void eating through tank armor with sustained attacks. If forced to he'd also be able to launch a few focused blasts that would completely erase an unprotected human, but after doing so he'd be forced to immediately stop or die. If he does die while actively using the Void, the energies will burst forth from his corpse immediately afterwards. The immediate 100m or so around him would be saturated and probably wiped clean of anything unless actively protected or naturally durable.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Zombehz, would it be possible to lower the ludicrous power of the voidkin, and tell us just about how much of the void power that a voidling like Raule has?

@VarionusNW

Well they're basically undefined now if that works. As for how much Void power, I'm not really sure how to specify that. Like how much of it he has, specific measurements like that?

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Actually, I'll just vomit this up here and see if it takes or not.

Destiny of Man

Kean listened to Skye’s orders half-mindedly as they weren’t anything he didn’t already understand and paid more attention to what the two were doing by the door. He could feel the displacement of air as the door hissed open and he quickly began to step towards the darkened hallway, away from the others. Even at this distance and through the helmet he could smell the stench that had been sealed away. By the time the officer had called out to the Commander, Kean was already peering into the unlit hallway unimpeded by the lack of light. His helmet automatically compensated for such conditions and the sight wasn’t pretty; fairly brutal even by his standards. The sheer number of bodies posed a problem in and of itself, but he raised his firearm as he approached the corpses to drag out the closest; intent on discovering what had killed these people. His sensors were busy scanning the hall to no readings at the moment, but it paid to be careful. He let the battle rifle hang from its sling as he unholstered his sidearm with one hand and grasped an arm with his other. With a slight twist of his body, the motion enhanced by the suit, he managed to free the corpse from the others and pull it closer to the door into the light. He turned briefly to glance at Zarubin and said, “Why not your drone?”He left it at that as he knelt down by the corpse and began to examine it for any signs as to cause of death. “Aurelias. Think you can figure anything out from this?”He called out to the team’s medic, wondering if her expertise would let her glean more information.

AcadeMMO: First Semester

Naw, and not in particular. The mission is basically done, so he could return to the AcadeMMO, or do whatever you'd like.

Destiny of Man

Apologies if I'm not supposed to be posting more than once per "round", just wanted to get Kean with the others and not standing inside the now empty escape pod like a durp.
