Disgaea H: OOC

[Laughing Hyena]

That was a difficult choice in terms of Evility Taria. Props to that.

So you want a character specific special move as well? Alright then..

Type H Summon: Lucien summons a demon from one of his personal doujins. Depending on the number and the genders invoked this can range from many things. From a tentacle monster named Douglas whom loves the naughty tentacles trope to a trio of succubi sisters whom look oddly familiar, the possibilities are endless. Good for groping all sorts of places on unsuspecting victims and satisfaction is guaranteed! <3

I'll throw in a CS, but if I'm to late to join just ignore it.

Bio:

Sander woke up roughly a century ago, alone and beaten up in a clearing in a forest. He had no memories of what had happened to him, in fact he had no memories at all. Strangely calm he looked about the clearing for clues, but only found a book, written in a language, or code, that seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite put his head around what it was supposed to tell him, except that he could feel the magic connection it emanated. It had the name Sander penned on it's first page so he took it as his name. All that he was left with was a longing for knowledge, especially for anything concerning his past. The past century he wandered the world, seeking knowledge, learning as much magic he could and trying to decipher the secrets of his book. Eventually he heard about Overlord Taria's Rebellion seeking recruits, and figured this was a opportunity to learn more.

"Become vassle to the Queen of Succubi, make your heart's desires a reality!"

He would see if there were any truth to this.

I assume everyone's supposed to be a demon so I took it for a given and figured I didn't have to reference it in the bio...

I'm a bit confused about the weapons though as to whether or not mages are supposed to choose weapons. Also how frequently are we required to post? (since my availability to post might be a bit irregular for a couple of months...)

EDIT: The special attack's description has been modified, in order to reflect its reassigned mechanics.

Chosen Evility: Phantom Menace. Not only does it seem to be the most practical choice to me, but it also goes well with the art of Musou Ryuuken itself: the art's unique techniques all revolve around bait-and-punish maneuvers, guiding the opponent into a vulnerable spot by predicting their attacks, then striking back with lethal precision.

Special Attack: Jigoku Shippu Ken ("Hell Typhoon Fist")

Description: The Jigoku Shippu Ken is among Musou Ryuuken's more visually-stunning and advanced techniques, but still isn't among the "Forbidden Arts" that cannot be seen outside the dojo. The user swiftly closes the gap between him and his foe, uses an initial strike to knock the target off-balance, and follows up with a flurry of motion-blurred punches, rattling the body inside and out with blunt force. The final blow in the attack punctuates its conclusion with a rising kick, which propels the user into a back-flip back to where he was before using the attack.

[Taria]

@Voff: Mages wield staffs which add +1 to the range of their magic and predominately contain Intelligence as a stat. Describe an ability that seems appropriate for your character and choose an evility
Encoder Mage: You deal 5% more damage when casting single target spells, and you deal 10% more damage with spells that damaged an opponent last turn.
Consuming Secrets: You heal for 10% of the damage you deal with single target spells.
Litany of Souls: Whenever an opponent is destroyed your next spell is free and deals 10% increased damage.

@napsii: I still need to read through your novella
EDIT: Ok... Sometime I think less can be more. I don't like how heavily you embellished on the fact that your character is pretty much the ultimate killing machine; the closest comparison I can think of is Zender's char, who instead basically had to end up becomine a failure to be where he is now. The whole premise of the recruitment (and more importantly the introduction to the storyline) is "There has never been a greater opportunity than this for the weak to be acknowledged in a world where might is the only form of justice" but not only have you set you character apart as an experienced and heavily skilled assassin, you've also broken the concept that there has never been a system in place that formally trained demons to better themselves with the Blackgate institution.

Also if you're only going off what was established in Disgaea 3, you're probably not going to be familiar with what the RP is about, at least storywise. Disgaea 3 is probably the weakest installment of the Disgaea series for everything other than its gameplay mechanics.

Whew, that was a lot to come back too v.v

[napsii]

I'd disagree that Noelle is the ultimate killing machine. Far from it. She is neither the quickest, nor the strongest nor the smartest. Centuries-old demons (of which we have a couple among the PC's) are sort of par for the course and besides being very young, her skills are about at the threshold of a high school student's (which was the idea, since the school itself is supposed to be satirical) so she is far from experienced. I probably didn't broadcast her skillset as accurately as I intended, though, which is my mistake. Her real skill lies in her marksmanship and stealth -- basically exactly what you'd expect from a "Thief" class. It's also important to look at things from a mechanical viewpoint; she is constrained by the same stat limitations as the rest of the PC's, and I'm not certain her variety of other basic skills would be considered much other than fluff when it comes down to it. True, it can be assumed she might be somewhat competent in martial arts or swinging a knife, but she's naturally nowhere near the level of someone who has spent their entire life doing those things and even then she (like every other PC) is shaped by her stats.

The hyperbole and impression that she might really be an impervious kill machine is a product of the bio's writing, which I intended to be sort of in line with the semi-ridiculous atmosphere of Disgaea: it is naturally exaggerated. I do admit I remember pathetically little of it (Disgaea), though. :z Anyway, as for the school itself I figured that since this is a roleplay that makes its own assumptions, such a tiny inversion of the lore wouldn't be that much of an issue. Again, it's to back up my character's present state, and its role in the story can be very easily minimized (which is what I intended anyway.)

[Taria]

Noelle
Deadeye Aim: 10% increased chance to crtically strike
Sniper Rounds: Your basic attacks ignore 10% of an enemies armor
Shellshocked: You gain an aditional chance to counter, and counter attacks reduce an enemy's speed by 10% (2 counters total, 50% chance on first)

Also don't forget to name an ability ^_^

[napsii]

I think I'll take the Deadeye Aim.

As for Ability... I suppose I'll go with something generic.

FLASH GRENADE: One of Noelle's favorite counters to a stubborn enemy formation. Procuring one of her homemade flashbangs, Noelle hurls the device some distance ahead of her to land at the feet of her target, creating a explosion of disorienting light and sound which although harmless blinds and deafens those unlucky enough to have been caught within its blast radius. Naturally, the indiscriminate nature of the bomb means allies could possibly be affected.

I should also note that although this Ability seems to be predicated upon an item, I had it figured that these flashbangs would be inaccessible to her unless using this skill for reasons of balance. I'm used to seeing such skills in RPG's I play. *shrug*

[BlueLight]

So if all i've seen is the anime... Is that really... wait school... Okay the anime fucked me when it comes to joining this RP.
They didn't have no school in the anime!

what school?

[BlueLight]

i thought some one mention a school. ;(

Okay so there is hell, we know this from the intro post and that's the same as the anime.
Characters have different set of abilities, and class? As they level up in their class they can pick different skills. Is this correct.

[Taria]

yup yup

I most definitely want to be a part of a Disgaea rp... .w. I loved Disgaea so much!

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

A demon spear master from a frozen land in the far reaches of the Netherworld, she ended barely escaping with her life when her home and people were slaughtered and pillaged. Badly hurt, and barely walking, she had ended up far from her home, somewhere in the Netherworld, she managed to get to a city, where she slowly recuperated from her injuries. Some time during her recuperation, she had heard something about a succubus planning a rebellion, and where she could fulfil her desires. Believing it was a fairly easy way to start things up again, she decided to join, until she felt good enough to get revenge on the bandits who took her home.

She fights with an injury on her left arm, which can make things difficult at times.

((… I was having trouble trying to decide whether I should make her a Samurai styled fighter, an Ice Mage, or a Thief… ha.))
((EDIT; Reread this... well, this morning, and then I realised how it didn't make too much sense compared to her class... changed it.))

[joeyjoey61297]

oh i forgot about the ability sry taria ill update that now

My CS is all set now and Im ready to post whenever Taria

[Laughing Hyena]

Wow I got fed to the lions quick. ^_^

[Voff]

Thanks for the info Taria. Uhm... I'm a bit unsure what would be a balanced special, but if you (or anyone else) have any suggestions for improvement it is appreciated

For the special I was thinking something like this...

Ice Tomb - During his travels Sander has learned the value of patience. To give him time to assess a battle situation he can entomb a single enemy in ice, dealing some damage over time, but leaving the target immune to any other damage for the duration.

For the evility I choose Consuming Secrets, hopefully I will survive a bit longer ^^

[Taria]

you guys need to realize that you're not describing mechanics for your abilities, just naming them v.v I still have to come up with the mechanics anyways because what you all suggest won't fit.
Also, nice job fluffles, normally I have to give people a list of evilities for them to choose from, but yours will do just fine ^_^ now if you'll give me the name of an ability you'll be all set.

[napsii]

There really does seem to be a deficiency in clarity over how some things are expected to work. It'd be best to elaborate on some of the mechanics so we don't run into these kinds of mistakes in the future.

Either way, I'd still like to stick with the premise of my ability, Lol.

Wow, we sure are getting lots of people already! ^_^
I wonder if I should start putting people into group now? I still don't feel like I have enough helpers though. :/

[napsii]

Putting people into groups compacts the amount of writing you need to do pretty significantly.
