[rp] Small Beginnings - [9/9] Players - Applications Closed

OP... minimum 10 minutes... so OP...

While I know that they're different... they're very similar...

 

You're better at pointing out flaws than I am (somehow) :P

 

Why I should accept you into the RP: Because I've had some experience with this type of thing before, and the setting fits my storylines well.

p o t a t o

Name: Brutus
Age: 26
Appearance: Tall, lean, magical left arm. Has a long gash running from his left shoulder down his thigh.
Personality: Grizzled, mean, and cold, but warms up a bit once you get to know him. Can make allies, but not for long.

Backstory: When the corruption hit, things took a turn for the worse for Brutus. He used to be a trapper, hunting spiders in the Nivla Woods. It wasn't much of a life, but it was a life. He had a wife, Amura, and two kids back in Elkurn, a twin boy and girl, both around the age of 5 . While he was out hunting, like any other day, he suddenly felt very cold. He stopped dead in his tracks, and began to panic for no particular reason. It was as if he had a sense for the corruption, because a mere 30 seconds later, the portal was discovered.

Things were quiet for the next two months, but Brutus was scared stiff. He refused to go back into the forest, as he was terrified of feeling so helpless and paralyzed. Then, the invasion hit. The corrupted began to swarm Elkurn, ripping buildings to shreds. Brutus began to freak, and began to panic, as he once again had the feeling of helplessness he had in the forest two months ago. Suddenly, he heard a horrendous scream, a loud crash, a tremendous pain, and everything went black.

He woke to find himself in a dark room, feeling very groggy. When he tried to get up, he felt something peculiar. Well, he didn't actually feel anything at all. His arm was gone, leaving only a stump at the shoulder. Brutus screamed, and screamed, and screamed some more, until he found a note in one of his pockets.

Brutus:

You were hit by a section of the roof, and we were unable to save your arm. However, we were able to shelter you from the Corrupted. This is an old saferoom I discovered long ago, but forgot until just now. We stashed you here, then I quickly wrote out this note. We will stash you in here, then we will run to Ragni. We hope to see you there.

Amura

Brutus was shocked. He was so frightened that he got out of the saferoom and ran so fast that he didn't register the destruction of Elkurn, and he ran all the way to Time Valley. He came to a stop, panting heavily when he saw a stone arm on the ground. He went closer, and heard these words:

HUMAN.
WHO I AM IS NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT KNOW. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT I AM IN NEED OF YOUR HELP. I SEEK TRUE REDEMPTION FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE, AND I NEED YOU TO DO IT. IN RETURN, YOU MAY HAVE THIS STONE ARM. IF YOU TAKE IT, KNOW THAT I WILL BE WATCHING OVER YOU. TO PROVE YOUR WORTH TO ACCEPT THE ARM, HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND AND PUT IT IN THE SOCKET. IF YOU ARE PURE OF HEART, I SHALL ACCEPT YOU.

Brutus, thinking he was generally nice, picked the arm up and stuck it in it's socket. The arm said:

AH, LOVELY. YOU ARE PURE OF THAT PESKY FEELING, COMPASSION. WHILE YOU STILL FORM CONNECTIONS, YOU SHALL NO LONGER LOVE AGAIN. I SHALL EXCEPT YOU, BRUTUS THE UNLOVING. YOU MAY NOT KNOW ME, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME DUROS, ANCIENT, FORGOTTEN DEITY OF LOYALTY, AND YOU ARE NOW MY SERVANT. FOR THE UNLOVING MUST FIND A PURPOSE SOMEWHERE.

Brutus was shocked, and he couldn't take in the information Duros had given him. But he slowly, and sadly, came to accept it. He no longer felt love when he thought of his wife, and realized there was no reason to go to Ragni. So, with his new-found title, he set off on a wanderlust adventure, going where-ever he sees fit.

Class (in-game class or original [not required]): Hunter
Primary Weapon: A pure jungle wood bow, gifted to him by Duros
Secondary Weapon: A sturdy hunting knife, made of steel
Spells (you may have up to three):

Arrow Storm:
Call a hail of arrows onto an enemy. Does low damage overtime. Has an AoE effect, and arrows that don't hit deal no damage. Fires 25 arrows

Hunter's Instinct:
Brutus can pinpoint exact weakpoints on his enemies, and fire. Does high damage when you hit, but could possibly target the wrong part, doing poor damage, as it's hard to aim very precisely with a stone arm.

Call of Duros:
Brutus taps into Duros' powers, gaining the minor ability to see into the future. Allows you to see up to 10 minutes into the future. Time decreases of increases depending on Brutus' relationship with Duros. Starting time is 5 minutes

Abilities (you may have three if you have no spells; you may have one if you have three spells):

Servant of Duros:
Brutus is the servant of Duros, an ancient deity based on loyalty. The spell Call of Duros fluctuates with Brutus' relationship with Duros. (As in, it gets worse the more
unworthy Brutus is, and vice versa)

Armor (not required): Standard hunting garb, a leather tunic and cotton pants
Starting Place (can be things other than towns, such as the Nivla): Time Valley
Other: If Brutus ever finds compassion again, Duros will abandon him by having the arm slide off, and Brutus no longer has that arm anymore.

• Call of Duros has been nerfed to 10 minutes
• Personality updated
• Duros angle updated based on input by Poiu

 

Still OP...
I would move it to max 10-15 seconds, starting at 2 seconds.
Also please put subsequent changes to your application in a spoiler... if you just post it normally the thread gets cluttered.

 

You got it boss

Spoiler: New app

ok sorry if this part is a little short i was writing it and it got deleted... again... ._.

@LoyalFlush @Florfy5
Kazuki's POV

You glance at the woods to your left.
They look so cool, inviting.
And the spiders won't be out at this time of day. In this heat.
"So," a voice breaks into your thoughts. It's Geoffry.
"Those woods look nice."
The others nod their agreement.
"Spiders won't be out," Geoffry remarks.
"Yeah," you say.
"It's decided, then," Damien says.
You walk into the woods.
Underneath, it really is quite a bit cooler.
You take a rag out of your bag, soak it with some water, and press it against your forehead.
You walk carefully, too - keeping the path and ocean to your right.

A few hours pass.
"Something's not right," Geoffry says. "It's too quiet."
"Yeah," Samuel affirms.
They're right. Instead of the hot buzzing of the afternoon, there is no noise save for the sounds your feet make when they crush the foliage below.
"I think," the messenger mutters, "that we're gonna get attacked."
"Form up in a semicircle!" Damien shouts. "Face the Nivla!"
You form up.
From out of nowhere, a black shape springs out of the woods with a snarl. It claws at Damien but he bats it aside (he's still good at fighting with a sword, ya know.). It crouches on all fours, snarling angrily.
"Corrupted," he mutters. "Move back, outta the woods! We can see them easier, and they don't like the sun!"
You move back, still in the defensive semicircle.
Slowly, 5 corrupted step out of the woods. The one that attacked Damien is leading. It has a black, sleek humanoid body, and claws. The others are skeletons, with a strange black smear of something on them. It's flaking off.
The leader contorts it's face into a smirk. "I am Malhirrm."
Geoffry smirks. "We don't care what your name is, dirty corrupted!"
Samuel's eybrows raise. "It won't matter once you're dead, either!"
The creature screams in anger, and charges recklessly into your line.
Geoffry has seemingly hit the nail on its' head. Malhirrm will get angry and stupid - if you provoke it.

@Mathias Drevur and @3DSMate please respond to your respective posts.
I do believe that they are on page 27 (this is me being lazy again).

To all characters:
I have found the name that refers to dual - wielding swords.
It's called Florentine, and I think it has some Medieval/Renaissance roots.

 

Are you gonna choose the person for the last spot of the RP soon?

@Poiu429
We have another one competing for the last slot XD

 

help meeeee

 

You don't stand a chance lol

________________________________

JK good luck ^^

 

I thought we were buds XD

 

I draw my sword and hold it in a stance that uses the katana's length to keep foes at a distance (literally the "ready" stance when using a katana)
"Very well," I say, having lost my shyness due to combat. I switch to a defensive stance (Well, I guess the original one is defensive). I look at the corrupted for a second. "Geoffry, stand behind us, but close enough to us to heal us if we're wounded. You're our healer, it's best if you're not pre-occupied by combat. Seems we're outnumbered. Damien and Samuel, we'll have to fight. Try to take on one at a time." I say to them.

I stand in my defensive stance. If a corrupted rushes to attack, I'll block and counter. If one moves slowly at me, I'll switch to attack stance and dash-attack them (Strike of Purity) and switch back to defense.

(1: What abilities does Samuel have? 2: I wish Damien had both arms, he could've also used throwing knives to disable corrupted, but I discarded that idea because it would remove his defensive capabilities entirely. 3: I wonder if I should've gone for a Yumi (Longbow) as opposed to a dagger...)

________________________________

But is he really your friend?

 

Sry ;_; but you are just so late at it ^^
I'm actually kind of glad to read that :D

 

Totally man

 

Are you sure?

Are you sure you're sure?

Are you sure you're sure you're sure?

________________________________

Hate it when that happens...

Now I know what European Dual-wielding is called... Good to know.

 

I miss my arm already...
I hold my sword in front of me, waiting for the corrupted to make a move. Won't have too much success if I charge into the group.

 

Il be back soon, i was just on a holiday and got back.

 

1: It's a secret. You'll discover along the way because I want to control Samuel.
2: k
3: k

like seriously idk what my issue is with these long pages...

Damien's POV
A few skeletons charge at you, but you quickly slash them to pieces.
You hear a loud yell to your right. You take a quick look.
Malhirrm leaps at Kazuki, and he ducks. The corrupted slides down the hill with a screech.
You turn away. You have to defend against the skeletons.
One of them pulls out a bow, and draws back. You scowl, and rush towards it. Suddenly a shape whizzes past your head and smashes into the skeleton's head, shattering it. You turn, and see Geoffry. He seems to have taken one of your throwing knives.. but he's not very good - you can tell that it was a lucky shot.
You turn back towards the corrupted and slowly back away, rejoining the semicircle.
To your left are Geoffry and Samuel. To your right are the messenger (with a bow) and Kazuki, who's battling Malhirrm.
A whoosh of air comes from your left, knocking many of the skeletons to the ground and scattering some of their bones.
Good job, Geoffry, you think to yourself. This is going to be easier than I thought if all these skeletons are so weak.
"Advance! They are weak!" you yell. Your companions nod.
You walk slowly up the slope, keeping in a relatively defensive position. To your left, you hear Kazuki and Malhirrm battling.

Kazuki's POV
fuck this
its been about 2 weeks
ill write it up later
