Save me a spot.

EDIT: if it's anything like machinauts, I won't play. I can't stand numeric RPs anymore. I've had too many rough experiences with them.

Save me a spot as well. I'm involved in some stuff that is dead/other stuff/IDK so yeah....

Name:
Dusa Tajanstven [[Pronounced Do-Sah Tahj-Ahn-Stt-Vehn]]

Appearance:
With skin as white as a ghost's, Dusa stands at 5'4" (1.63m) with her Long, unkempt Midnight-Black hair grown down to her tailbone. She has an average frame, thinner near the top, and widening a bit near the bottom. Her eyes are an odd Purple color, which becomes darker near her Iris, and otherwise has seamless skin -- not a freckle or birthmark to be found. Due to her constant all-nighters, Dusa has a noticeably grey area under her eyes, but that is often not seen below her hair, which is lengthy even in front. Specifically, it goes to her shoulders along the sides, and centers to her nose in the middle, causing a constant shadow to drape over the top half of her face. [[Essentially based off of this, but with color and body-dimension differences.
Her preference for clothing is often long dresses from her primarily dark-toned wardrobe. If the school has a dress-code of some kind, she'd keep her clothes at school, and simply change into them if a teacher isn't the type to nag their students on about proper attaire.

Bio:
Daughter to long-distance parents Dusa rarely talks of her home and/or past. Partially because there isn't much to say, and partially because she would rather speak of Dark-Alchemy and information which should be impossible to access at her age.
The truth of her past, however, was that she had practically raised herself with her parents travelling around the surface of cradle [[Either to other Cities (if those exist), or to Scavenge for Artifacts and the like for profit]]. Money was never an issue, because her family was quite rich (which explained why they were so eccentric with their desire to be anywhere but home) -- a fact that not many know about Dusa. With no parental guidance, Dusa taught herself from the age that her Nanny's were too creeped out to return (About 6 years old) up until 3 days prior to the start of this RP. She had learned anything that she could find, memorizing page upon page of eccentric books her Parents had brought home through their travels.
This wasn't, of course, the only thing she learned of, however. She still had access to schooling online which her parents had provided for her. She was particularly well-suited to analysis of situations and problems -- provided that she had enough information to go off of. And so, she did rather well, and she would have gotten 90% plus in any subject which required an analytical standpoint -- but due to the fact that she does have an outlandish way of thinking, she kept an almost completely constant 70% average in all subjects with home-schooling. (Mainly because almost every Written Response question she's ever come across derails into talking about Dark Rituals -- Multiple Choice questions were good, though).
She would have continued this way of life, too, until her parents had decided that it was a good time for her to leave her "dark sanctuary" behind, and get to know other people. Live people. Not from books. And... Not as ingredients needed for certain things within said books. And so, she was enrolled at Kamazachi High without question. There may or may not have been bribery involved on her parents' parts.

((Why, a Liminori RPG! I do believe I'll join this!

And worry not, Noel-Exside. Juli finds conformity illogical and overrated.))

Name: Juli Blank

Appearance: Unusually short- apparently Juli has dino cavaliers in her bloodline. Her metabolism and the amount of random doodads she refuses to part with have helped her balance her weight against her admitted over-eating. ("But I must taste another, soaked in orange juice this time! Science demands it!")

Juli's often seen in a simple, light overcoat that's far too big for her, covering whatever attire she happened to pick up first on that particular day; the inside has multiple hidden pockets that are lovingly sewn on. She wears an oversized set of glasses to correct her vision; one of the lenses is tinted green due to some mechanical augmentation Juli's done on it. Juli's got slightly curly, fairly short red hair that's quite unkempt.

Bio: Juli was always the type to ask questions.

Nothing else really bothered her. Many at the school labelled Juli an outcast due to her odd demeanor and short stature, but she shrugged it off. Nothing bothered her more, though, than an unanswered question.

Perhaps this was because the biggest question was about her parents. They... weren't there. Who were they? Where were they? Soon enough, Juli found out on her own. Her parents had abandoned her on a doorstep and ran off to the Clockworks to join some kind of moth cult. This made Juli as sad and angry as you might expect. But her spirit couldn't be broken. Juli never stopped asking questions. But now, it was never because not having an answer bothered her, but because finding an answer fascinated her.

The most visible feature of Juli's personality is her scientific curiosity, followed almost immediately by a strange sense of optimism and, well, maybe she's also a little crazy. Juli's easily distracted, especially by the thought of an experiment or by something she hasn't seen before; before doing something that requires her constant attention, Juli has to give herself a pep talk. Juli holds any close friends she may have in high regard.

((Juli's stats make her good for healing or strategic Elemental damage, depending on what the party needs; her personality doesn't favor a leading role, and doesn't seem like the type to betray a close friend, so she'll take either one of the Side Character slots or the Dedicated Healer slot.

EDIT: Hmm, so this character deals 80 damage and has 40 health. What kind of damage can we expect to see from enemies? And is there a way to increase health?

Also, what happens when character HP reaches 0?))

@Liminori
Nah, I actually planned on her to be like that to begin with. With the percentages you gave, having a loss in Vitality won't be an issue, anyways... After all... 20 * 0.05 = 1.00 (i.e. Because each point for SP gives 5% dodge chance... Dusa has a 100% dodge rate. She also has a 100% hit chance (without other modifiers) and will almost always have the first turn. Or the first couple turns, at that). Unless there's some cheap 100% hit weapon that an enemy out there has, she'll be just fine.
As for magic... I was tempted to give some points in that, due to her character type, but I'll just use Stat Points from level ups on it in the future.
With Str. relying on just the Weapon Damage is fine, because Dusa will be hitting the enemy so often. As I had said before "Chipping damage will overtake the enemy at some point."
For Luck... Who needs that? (Actually, I'll be upgrading that after I allocate a couple more points into Magic -- once Dusa levels up a bit more, that is)

Is it OP? Yes. But... It's allowed, right? Loopholes, man. All the loopholes. If you really want me to change it, I will, but... That'll be less fun.

((@Ember: On paper, it sounds great, but I'm not sure if hit rate caps at 100%, nor am I sure if there is a "base" hit rate that everyone gets in addition to their stats. High-accuracy attacks are commonplace in RPGs; D&D's iconic Magic Missile is a prime example, and homing missiles are known to exist in Sp'Knights canon.

And even if you're avoiding all attacks and dealing chip damage, the rest of your party might not be so lucky; chip damage isn't great for taking aggro.

@Liminori: I'm in! Yaaaaaay!))

@The Medical Personnel founds in Space Bars
Yeah, I know. It was my roundabout way of telling Liminori that it needed to be balanced better, or that Modifiers were needed. Still, it would've been nice having a character that could just blink away and say "Hey there" behind the enemy an instant later. While plunging swords into said enemy.
Creepy Bloodlust is the best kind of Bloodlust.

@Liminori
You're welcome for pointin' out that issue. Now, I'll go fix my character. xD

New Cipher Stats:
ST: 1
MA: 10
EN: 2
SP: 4
LU: 3

Will there be multiple "Magic Attacks" and things? Like... More than just combat magic? But also just magic that can be used out of combat (other than healing magic, of course)?

@Liminori
I was meaning things like Special/Active abilities -- like buffs which could be maintained at a certain "Mana" cost over time... If there's Mana. Besides such things, I was also meaning Golems -- not as in Summons which act on their own, but more like Puppets which could be maintained and controlled so long as their Master willed them to do so.
Like mobile-eye golems, or something. Such things would be good to have for Scouting.

Also, since Dusa's Cipher is Dark... Wouldn't Heals be ineffective? Making certain spell-types more effective with different Cipher types would be interesting to see. The Dark equivalent to a Heal Spell could be like a Vampire Buff (a heal for how much the buffed character hits), or a simple Health Steal (direct Mana Damage from the enemy into Health for the caster).

@Cipher-name-convo
Why not just let Ciphers have their own names without any direct meaning needed? That would make "Personal Ciphers" a lot more connected to the character they're bound to. Like a companion of sorts... If they can communicate. Otherwise, like a treasured toy of sorts. Names could have meaning, or they could have just been whatever their user thought was a good name. Just like the characters themselves.

((Juli, in the interest of experimentation, took a different personality quiz than the one suggested. The points she received were distributed as follows:

Brave: 83%
Quirky: 81%
Docile: 57%
Quiet: 45%
Relaxed: 39%
Bold: 38%
Hasty: 36%
Rash: 36%
Calm: 32%
Lonely: 32%
Hardy: 31%
Impish: 30%
Naive: 24%
Jolly: 21%
Sassy: 19%
Timid: 18%

Well, it appears Juli is no chicken. "Quirky" was a given, of course; she took the "wrong" personality quiz to record the results.

Go ahead and match those results with whichever one of your Ciphers fits it better. (And yes, I know what game you're playing- mostly because of Google Search. Yay, Google Search!)))

((Heck, I've done the same thing (albeit with things not involving [SPOY-A-LURRR]) and it worked out well enough. Just remember we're on a 15-years-into-the-future Cradle!

Juli: "Hmmmmm. Now what means of self-defense should I favor?"))

I got Death in the tarot thingie

Name: Serph Lightson

Appearance: 6' 7" with neck length white-blonde hair, golden eyes flecked with silver, and tanned skin. He looks sort of thin, but is surprisingly strong, and because this is a high school, he's one of the "Cool" kids. Parents had been some of the first people to delve in the clockworks, and Serph still has a Kat Claw Kowl from his mother, although Serph just uses it as a hat and is unaware of its true purposes (Sort of like a beanie.).

Bio: Serph's father and mother had just taken him on his first trip to the clockworks, when they heard a strange noise. They realized that something was amiss, and they took the fastest route they knew to Haven. His mother was attacked by a Gremlin, and she never made it out of the clockworks. Before her (presumably) final moments, she threw him her Kat Claw Kowl. His father became more distant with Serph since his mother (presumably) died. And now, he hopes he can find a way to open the clockworks and get his mother back. Serph isn't exactly that smart though, so he's going to have to go through a lot of trouble to figure out how to open the clockworks. He wears the hat no matter what.

Cipher: Light Type Cipher (If named, Horus Cipher (If I'm allowed to try to name a cipher) (Horus' left eye is made of MoonLIGHT))

Weapons: LEAVE BLANK! (Request for A Warhammer, a bastard sword and a spear)

Armor: LEAVE BLANK! (Request for Stronger light armor (If medium armor is a thing, then that))

@Liminori Everyone I noticed did an app didn't make an age. Do we need to do that, or are we just all going to be the same age? The Arcana I got for Serph was The Fool, but before that I got The Moon. I request Serph be Side Character B, or if you're desperate, Main Character, but only if you're desperate.

Things are all coming together now... Dusa has the Death Cypher, and Organizing post was made, and free art is to come!

I Personally really look forward to seeing what's ahead!

Why did some people only get one weapon (Kinda wanted Jonathan to get a rapier at some point so...)? And... HOORAY! Free art! ALso, I saw the Tarot 13 list and redid it. I got Justice

NOSE! Oh well...

((Whoa, nice ASCII art. And yeah, considering the game that inspired this, I'd be surprised if relationships WEREN'T allowed.

Juli: "Hold on. My sword is on fire? Fascinating. I must look into potential applications."))

Is there still a spot? Just bumped into this post, and saw another RPG RP (Uhh... ). So i read the post before just now, and you said there is till spot for side character D and Betrayer gut right?. Here is my tarot thingy (is it neccesary?) :

Name: River 'Zero' Snakestone
Appearance: An overall height of 178 cm, and a body weight of 74 kg. Zero has green eyes, and a black hair. He is not so muscular, but also not so thin. Has a slight cut wound up on his torso, a memento from the past (Explained in bio). In his back, there is a tatto of the number zero, which leads to his nickname.
Bio: A normal boy in a normal family. He is the only boy on the house, and his parents has the highest expectation from him. Growing up, the boy does not like being traped home.Sometimes he explores through the surface woods, looking and studying the cradle whenever the chance, then get scorned and grounded at home. Every passing day, he always climbs the same tree in the middle of his 'research' site. He always carries a notebook in his pocket, there, he writes everything he learned inside. However, mistakes does tend to happen. Zero fell from the tree one day, suffered a large cut wound as a branch slits his torso. When he came too, the boy has almost no memories of the past. The only thing he remembers were the notebook in his arms. Now, his little research area is a link between the past Zero and the Zero now. The once happy boy, and the stone hearted Zero. At highschool, he is a Straightforward person, pointing out mistakes the moment he sees one. Now, his little notebook is filled with all sort of knowledge he gets through the years, and the knowledge he learned from the past.

Should i be the traitor or supporting character is up to you, i can't decide myself..

Liminori.
Dude.
You've basically left Condemned. It's not like those other RPs where you can just leave and everything will be fine. I really, truly did weave your character into the story; several important turning points in the plot depend on your participation. For example, Leeroy's wife (and Flynn's mother) is an important, active character in the story, and the reunion is an important plot point. When you leave, you throw that whole thread into disarray and force me to rewrite the story. And rewriting it in my mind isn't an easy job.

Liminori, I don't think the problem is initiative. It's not even that you have nothing worthwhile to say. The problem is simply that you've forgotten what character you're playing. You're playing as Flynn, a young man who, when he was only 13 years old, watched his father die because of something Ozlo did. You don't know your role, you say? This is your role - that of a boy who wants revenge for his dead father.

Like you, I develop writer's block and can't find anything to say when I lose sight of my character. In real life, people do things. Even if you're just watching events unfold, that's something, isn't it? Don't you form thoughts about what you observe? Don't you interpret what you observe in terms you can understand? Even simple things like that are a goldmine of story material.

Get into your character's shoes.
Don't lose sight of who you are.
