What kind of mythological creatures?

Japanese mythological creatures.

>_<

More specification, please.

Can Diora has a rapid-firing, air powered dart gun? She's fragile so I think it'd be okay for her to have good gear.

Spoiler: Diora Celsus (click to show/hide)

Name: Diora Orfila Celsus

Race/Species: Lesser Suricate (Actually just a meerkat that stayed the same size while becoming more intelligent, as opposed to their more anthromorphic and stronger counterpart)

Gender: Female

Sex: Female

Backstory: Being smaller than most of their fellows in the city, the Orfila clan elders several generations ago have made the decision to migrate from their ancestral homes to the big city, cornering the market for professions that benefit from greater maneuverability like tinkers, healers, and chemists. Diora was in both the second and third category. She specialized in treating toxins, which in the current ecology wasn't a bad decision at all.

Despite their wealth, her clan had a fairly bad reputation. This may have been partly due to their diminutive size serving as a catalyst for special discrimination, but it was likely mostly due to their connection with the local mob boss. As an Orfila, Diora was also on call like her brethren to provide services for the mob, providing them with chemicals, which they use to make certain people disappear.

As a healer, Diora was not very happy about the mob specifically requesting more and more painful poison to serve their various vendettas, not to mention their corrupting influence on the city and her family's involvement in it. The straw that broke the camel's back came when the mob mistakenly trusted her with their plans to poison the entire law enforcement force in a feast. That night, the Mob's boss and several of his subordinates were found dead, as well as a few prominent peacekeepers. An anonymous tip directed the peacekeepers to seize the mob's asset and although they knew that the Orfila clan was involved with the crime mob, all the evidences appear to have been destroyed.

Diora was missing throughout the chaos that followed. She was now a traveling mercenary.

Description: Diora is jovial and flirtatious, though she can be rather depressing and macabre to people other than herself. She isn't one to actively throw her weight around, since there's not much weight to begin with, but she lets the danger of her implements speak for themselves. Surprisingly, people find someone who can poison you and make you die by hours of pure agony intimidating.

In truth, Diora is rather squeamish about killing. Oh, she'd dissect corpses of both sentient and nonsentient, but she likes to avoid conflicts if possible, using her lethality as a negotiating tool rather than a weapon.

Being a two-feet tall suricate means that her clothing have to be custom-tailored to her. Due to her size, any sufficiently powerful hit would be enough to kill her dead, so she doesn't bother with armor. She wears a small coat over herself where she keeps her darts, a belt where she holsters her dart-gun, and carries a satchel where she keep her poison vials (because she's not stupid, they're metal)

Stats:

Strength: 1
Agility: 6
Dexterity: 3
Intelligence: 5
Perception: 3
Charisma: 4
Radioactivity: 0
Willpower: 3

Special Trait: Diora retained the immunity to venom that her meerkat ancestors had, making her immune to most forms of natural venom, while her evolved genes as a suricate turns most toxins to merely life-threatening rather than a death sentence, and inconvenient rather than life-threatening.

Profession: Toxicologist

Yeah, this seems all good. Accepted. Also, I'll be updating the OP soon with characters.

Spoiler: XRU (click to show/hide)

Name: Smith of Speelerpoint D25XRU

Race/Species: Steelborn Smith, Series D25. This variation of Steelborn are designed to work as smiths, as one might imagine. They are almost comically broad chested, their chestplate styled after the rippling muscles of a bare-chested man. Their arms are equally large, with interior plating like scales so that it bends like flesh. Their head and face is one complete assembly, only marred by two wide, spherical ocular units, two more audio receptors, and a slit for an audio projector. It's an emotionless, unnerving face, the plain head contrasting harshly with the lifelike torso. Since the D25 series was designed to be able to work with both small components and larger pieces, filling a military R&D role, they were imbued with an enhanced intelligence, capable of lateral thinking and imagination. Further more, their manipulators are very advanced, strong enough to bend metal, yet precise enough to repair a clock.

Gender: XRU was not programmed with a gender, and does not have one. Typical pronouns are 'it' or 'they', if one is close to the Steelborn.

Sex: Not really applicable.

Backstory: 37 years and 98 days ago, XRU was constructed in the northern city of Speelerpoint, destined for the city's great smithies. To learn the operations of its body, it was assigned to spend the first 100 days of its motion working the bellows, the next 100 cooling redhot steel, and the next 100 hammering out blade after blade for the armies of Queen Reklar. After 300 days, it was finally moved to Research and Development, assisting the senior experts, both Steelborn and flesh. It worked on everything from general issue blades to non-lethal steamthrowers to Steelborn combat enhancements. After 19 years of this, it found itself as that expert, and continued produces weapons of war for a battle that never came. It never even thought about questioning its duty, it just wasn't in its programming. Recently, however, a Steelborn rights group in the North petitioned the Crown to release all Steelborn who had completed their tour of duty from military service. Somehow, the Crown agreed to their petition, with the condition of two tours; 30 years in total. After trying to reapply for service, and being turned down, XRU claimed its pension and set out to find something to do. It turned its feet towards the south, wandering the world, selling small technological marvels for the motion-giving coal.

Description: XRU is little different from the rest of its series, its plates slightly warped by use and great heat. Otherwise, its plates are buffed to a shine. It carries a gladius on a belt around its waist, a pack of tinkering tools on its back, and a week of coal in an internal compartment. Personality-wise, it is full of a quiet intelligence, learning all it can of the world's creatures so that it can develop better weaponry. It is unswervingly loyal to the Crown of the North, and, if it could dream, it would dream of Aseritons... finding one, unlocking its secrets, building a new one around itself...

Stats:
Strength: 6
Agility: 2
Dexterity: 5
Intelligence: 5
Perception: 3
Charisma: 1
Radioactivity: 0
Willpower:4

Special Trait: Steelborn: Smith is made from metal, rather than flesh. Thus, it does sleep, eat or breathe, instead going into a low power mode for a short time each day and requiring coal to operate at full power. Furthermore, it is modifiable with time, materials and an advanced workshop.

Profession: Tinker/Ex-Military R&D equipment.

Accepted. Also, your Willpower is 4.

Spoiler: big bear (click to show/hide)

Name: Bjorn Kolber

Race/Species: Ursine, a.k.a. a huge bearperson.

Gender/Sex: Male/Very definitely male.

Backstory: A proud child of the traditional Kolber bloodline, Bjorn grew up watching his father hammer bronze and iron in the forge. His family had sold the shaped metal to other craftsman at market, the ones with their extravagant steampower and machines. Bjorn's father had never liked steam much; neither had his father, or his father before him. Making the framework was good enough for them and it was good enough for Bjorn, too.
The young bear immediately began practicing his family's craft once he was of age, starting with simple things like bucklers and swords before advancing to the more nuanced machinery. But he could never get it just right like his father. Pieces were always too big or too small; they had an extra bend there, or were missing one here, and every mistake wasted time, valuable fuel for the forge, and more valuable metal. The failures culminated in an especially temperamental piece of iron completely shattering under Bjorn's hammer - he'd known it was in the fire too long - and sending a piece of it straight at his right eye.
Though Bjorn just wasn't the type of person to let a missing eye get in the way of his work; if crafting machinery wasn't for him, he could just as easily return to weapons and armor - and so he did. He spent much of his years perfecting the craft, and eventually made his most prized possession: a simply enormous steel warhammer, six feet tall and one-and-one-half wide, with a nasty spike on one end of the head and flat, merciless metal on the other. With such a beautiful weapon always in his sight and thoughts, the call of adventure grew daily, till Bjorn could resist no more.

Description: A massive specimen, easily nine feet tall and many hundred pounds, Bjorn is hardly a man (bear?) to mess with.. if it wasn't for his godlike patience. Simply put, you would have to be either incredibly skilled or incredibly stupid to seriously upset him - and then there is little anyone could do for you but pray and mop up the stain afterwards.
Bjorn himself is a dark fellow, almost black, with large, claws hands and paws. A large pink scar crosses his ever closed right eye, from cheek to forehead. He wears specially-fitted iron coverings on his shoulders, chest, waist and legs, leaving his arms and feet uncovered.
Bjorn is, cough cough, excessively male. Thank whoever you'd like he covers up.

Stats:

Strength: 7
Agility: 2
Dexterity: 5
Intelligence: 2
Perception: 4
Charisma: 2
Radioactivity: 0
Willpower: 4

Special Trait: Smithing On The Go: Bjorn brought a few of his smaller tools along for the journey, and the flat of his warhammer is conveniently anvil-sized. Assuming he has the time, materials, and isn't too fatigued to do so, he can easily improve or modify anyone's equipment however they would like.

Profession: Metalsmithing, specifically larger arms (greatswords, etc.) and light protection (small shields, simple armor pieces).

Accepted. That's 4/5.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Kruzt Gulberh

Race/Species: "Mantodean",; former lupine humanoid.

Gender/Sex: Male

Backstory: A nomadic wolf-beast that mutated into a horrific mantis-humanoid amalgam due to exposure to ancient elements. Being the sole member of a new mutant race, the insectoid camouflages its existence with large amounts of cloth padding, leaving only its antennae peeking out of its accoutrements, of which it will never part with due to its fears of rejection in society.

It now seeks refuge in mercenary work, as moving from place to place will never lead to its identity being ever revealed.

Description: Due to its circumstances, Kruzt Gulberh wears full cloth-and-leather attire at all times, hiding its mutations from public eyes. Its antennae have been decorated, in hopes that it will simply pass as a feature of his brim hat. Kruzt hides its face underneath paddings of cloth and goggles very thickly that it almost passes for a typical humanoid head.

His fingers have all turned into sharp, retractable claws, but he tries his best to wrap it around in a padded glove tailored to conform to his deformities, in order to be able to utilize various humanoid objects normally. He can speak in a gravelly voice sufficiently passable to most communities as normal voice.

His true and current nature is that of a mantis, 70% converted from his lupine race. He now possesses durable exoskeleton, but is still rather squishy inside and can easily hurt seriously with a heavy fist. Is incapable of punching hard and eating anything vegetarian.

Stats:

Strength: 3
Agility: 8
Dexterity: 8
Intelligence: 3
Perception: 2
Charisma: 2
Radioactivity: 3
Willpower: 4

Special Trait: [Skill: Reaper]: Kruzt throws off all pretense of disguise and utilizes his nature as a mantis to eliminate foes. Strength Stat becomes the sum of its Agility Stat + Dexterity Stat, divided by two. Then Kruzt gets a plus 1 to Agility and Dexterity after Strength calculation. Kruzt doffs his cloth wraps and suffers an incapability to use objects that require a humanoid hand's finesse. Utilizing said skill will reduce the opinion of people around him (-2 Charisma) for those who have seen his horrific mutations. Can be deactivated at will, but charisma penalty to people that have seen him is permanent.

Profession: Mercenary (Utilizing long-ranged weaponry if guns or crossbows exist.)

Also accepted! That's a wrap, folks! Also, no, Radioactivity is not counted.


The game will start sometime later today, but I'm going away this weekend, so it'll be inactive for a bit after that.

Check back on this thread whenever you can!

[Shadestyle]

Darn, Well have fun.

[spümpkin]

Sorry, just a tad too late. Would you like to be put on the waitlist?

Also, Trapezahedron, I had to minus 4 of your skill points, as you had 26 total instead of 22. I just subtracted 2 from Dexterity and Agility.

Everyone should check their sheets to see if they're okay with the equipment and skills.

[SOLDIER First]

Bjorn's smithing skills include armor, right?

[spümpkin]

Bjorn's smithing skills include armor, right?

Yeah, they should. I just couldn't think of any better way to word it, because you said he's mostly weapon-focused. How does Master Armorer sound? Cause I mean, you get weapons from armories.

[SOLDIER First]

Master Armorer sounds perfect, actually.

[spümpkin]

Well, once everyone's confirmed their skills and equipment, we can start the game.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Yeah, looks great!

Special Trait: [Skill: Reaper]: Kruzt throws off all pretense of disguise and utilizes his nature as a mantis to eliminate foes.

Well, specific equipment I'd want for this guy would be a basic weapon if that can be afforded. It could be a knife or anything.

And a Brim Hat with holes for antennae, brown clothwraps that cover his entire body, some belts to fasten clothwraps together, tightly, and the padded leather gloves he uses to use humanoid objects without having to struggle too much in their use. Actual leather armor set to cover his body optional.

[Shadestyle]

Yeah, waitlist me please.
