We both know you're not Bladestar, Bondo. :V

And now I'm starting to worry that this is going to be a crack game.

Which'll disappoint me, because this is a cool setting even if you put aside how over the top it gets, and I make it a point of never, ever playing crack games.
Mostly because I can't keep up with 20 post per hour things.

Don't worry about that, Alectai: This is just the usual rounds of heckling while we wait for Mort to weed out the weak decide on the players. What's said here is general not reflective of the IC.

Don't worry too much, I doubt Mort will be willing to run something like that.

Can't say for certain though. :V
 
I kind of wnt to play with a Lust mantra character with a power set I've never really played with before, but I'm worried that a crowd-based or mirror-based character skirts too close to Vanity.

Well, i'd be playing D.S. completely straight.

Hes just so ludicrously larger than life that swapping between Large Ham and Young Adult Novel Protagonist would be nigh seamless

  • Threadmarks
    • Name: Santana
    Mantra: Wrath
    Age: 4100


    Appearance: 5'8", feminine face, bulky strong muscles, bright blue hair, piercing green eyes, bright red skin, tron-style lines on arms and body, green robe (think Taopaipai style but without symbols)

    History: A rather decently-aged demigod, Santana was born a few thousand years ago. He was in the last war against the Gohma, and participated in many of the battles; somewhat of a war hero, he was one of the more powerful non-deity demigods. As a child, he didn't have the best father - his mother was mostly human, and so when his father came home from battles and drunken nights out with his friends, he liked to beat her. With his bare hands. One day, the man came back and went too far, so Santana's rage grew, and he beat up the old man, firing fire from his hands. He didn't kill him, though, just beat him unconscious and convinced him to stop drinking.

    He ended up being decorated for several great battles with the Gohma - he was no Deity, of course, but then who was? - and survived through the specific great war. Now the Gohma are coming back, and he is prepared to fight them off.

    Personality: Quite the talker, Santana is surprisingly calm most of the time. He can tend to ramble on for a while about things, but he usually stops. However, in battle he brings himself into a cold fury, which can become blazing hot anger if he becomes angry enough. He feels like a lone wolf, like he needs no man.

    Weapons: Fists
    Abilities: Super Strength, facilitated by his wrath - the angrier he gets the stronger he becomes. Being a demigod, he is already supernaturally strong. He can also shoot spheres of energy from his fists, which cause damage of the heat of his type of anger.

    I think we found our Chihuahua version of Asura. :V
     
    Hoshino Yumemei/Penumbra
  • Threadmarks
    • Name: Soma
    Mantra: Lust
    Age: 4233

    Appearance:

    History: Sometimes, what makes someone strong is their ability to escape danger instead of meeting it head-on. For Soma and her noble upbringing, that knowledge of when to fold, when to deceive and when to use misdirection coupled with being gifted a pretty face to play one's way out of danger meant being called many things, a lot of them not exactly for the polite company she had been brought up around.

    Soma prefers "strategist."

    Regarded as something of a well-kept secret, she decided early on what her job should be in the face of the Gohma: gifted with her beauty and a sharp mind, she decided the best way to impress was not just to make herself irresistible, but almost impenetrably mysterious, impressing with trickery, subterfuge, and a few very good tricks.

    She would hit on her signature, something that would allow her to perform complicated actions against the Gohma. It required simply putting herself in danger and drawing attention to herself, and eventually, to using more and more elaborate tricks to direct threats to wherever she desired. As soon as she was sure all eyes were on her, she sprung her trap.

    With the resurgent Gohma threat, Soma is ready to return to business as usual, eager to dole out punishment-and perhaps receive a little herself. She's bored and needs the attention.

    Personality: An extravagant tease who's too clever by half, Soma is a pleasure-seeker who has a habit of firing her mouth off, with the belief that being remembered is better than simply being liked. Many around her chafe at this, but she doesn't particularly care about that. She carries herself with a lot of poise and seems to deliberately pose herself just to show off.

    What sets Soma apart is what seems like a sadomasochistic streak coupled with a need to wind others up and watch them squirm. Centuries of planning around practically offering herself to enemies have left their mark on her in a particular taste for teasing others by offering herself for anything in the most over-the-top way possible, followed by strutting away with a satisfied laugh as soon as she's flustered her victim enough.

    She's possessed of a belief that nobody can do things in her areas of expertise-subterfuge, trickery and looking good-half as well as she can. A quick way to earn her ire is to challenge her supposed mastery of...anything she professes to know well enough, really.

    Weapons:

    Prisms: Set into elaborately-engraved frames are prisms of all sorts which Soma uses as mirrors, blast scatterers and multipliers, and illusion generators. By carefully scattering these around a battlefield, she can create numerous disorienting and intricate effects and turn even the simplest energy blasts into carefully-choreographed barrages of attacks or fields of illusions. For direct fighting, she can use them as daggers or throwing knives, with their frames well-shaped for handles. She can use either the blindfold-like headpiece she often wears or a full-face hood to see from these prisms as well.

    However, this comes at a price: she needs time and space to set up these prisms, and if she isn't allowed to have much of either, there isn't a whole lot she can do aside from simpler direct combat tricks. While she has become adept at pulling off illusions, deceptions and flanks on the fly, she much prefers to preplan her maneuvers.

    Abilities:

    Mantra (Lust): By drawing on the Mantra she generates, Soma can boost her speed and strength, which she uses to set up prisms and attack using them. She can use her powers to generate and manipulate ice prisms, and perform cryokinetic energy blasts that are manipulated and amplified by them to have any effects from freezing to turning into piercing ice bolts or simply being kinetic blasts that hit like packed snow. Most of the time she uses this to ensure she has a near-inexhaustible supply of prisms to use as she sees fit, and move and influence them so they act more like drones or missiles than simple throwing knives.

    Smoke And Mirrors: One of Soma's favorite tricks is to wash over an area with her Mantra along with creating illusions of herself and remotely projecting them. By spreading her aura out she can make her specific location incredibly hard to pinpoint, and by creating a hot spot where an illusion of herself is placed far afield, she can look like she's especially open to attack. Then, her would-be attacker swings at nothing, and she counters.

    This focus on deception means she also has one hell of a poker face and is decent at acting well enough to string an opponent (or just an easy mark she'd like to mess with) along.
