Welcome to the world of Mystica. Every century, divine beasts are set to guard the people from the annihilatory evils of The Shadow. A master summoner may gate a single one of the appointed divine beasts to the realm as the culmination of years or decades of effort.

Unfortunately for Mystica, this is The Century Of The Cat.

Please describe yourselves if you are interested in leaving your home plane for Mystica.

Name:
Skills: (Pick 1 primary and 2 secondary skills, abilities, or traits. These start fairly powerful, such as reviving a dead mortal under battlefield conditions, and may grow stronger over time. With enough effort, you may gain weaker skills later.)
Description: (Physical and mental. You will be a [particularly sturdy] flesh-and-blood feline, but may have special attributes, like wings made of fire. These will serve limited purpose unless you spend a skill point on one. Please remain mostly feline.
Mentally, consider that you're a fairly powerful spirit cat from another dimension.)
Sacrifice used to summon you: (Not technically needed, but .. you're a cat.)

Code: [Select]
[b]Name:[/b]

[b]Skills:[/b]

[b]Description:[/b]

[b]Sacrifice used to summon you:[/b]

You're being summoned. The summoners have some idea of who they're getting, and I'll be choosing sheets accordingly. Expect 4-5 people to get in. Try to get sheets up within 48 hours.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Dustan Hache: Paralyzing glare is good, but I'm not really sure your other skills are strong enough.

Kevak: Blink and Shadowstep are pretty similar. You're obviously powerful enough that blink isn't a silly little "randomly teleport within 30 meters."
After creative re-interpretation, I shall assume the horn used to summon Honk is a horn that "[hasn't] been." An excellent choice, no doubt requiring a fascinating quest to acquire.

you said to quote unquote "guard the people." You never said how many people there were, how good they were at fighting, or what exact hardships they were likely to face.

Blink is more of a close range teleport. Shadowstep is more of a longrange fast travel option.

I'm interested in this. I might be in too many games though, and I'm not exactly great on the rp front. (Funny how the first truly proper attempt at rp I'll be doing on these forums is as a cat. Truly we live in interesting times.) Anyway this is probably too strong, but one of the listed abilities you have as an example is "Resurrect the dead", so I've gone a bit overboard rather than being conservative.

Edit: Good to hear it isn't too strong. Have made a couple small changes in personality section, mostly grammar fixes really. In a way, that section was inspired by the personality pages of dwarves we like so much. Thought I'd add that in case it helps anyone with their own.

You know, I wasn't sure what sort of character I was making and when I wasn't looking it all quickly evolved into a sort of paladin like character as I adding more things. At least that sort of fits the setting? Also not entirely sure whether he'll be able to use powers at night time, given the element I've picked. It'd probably be stronger during the day (if only mildly) but I can only assume we have internal power as well.

First post seems to indicate it not being first come first served. They'll be picking 4 to 5. So yes, there are potentially spots if they like a newer sheet better than someone else's.

Also just a quick question, can we speak the language of the people we're guarding? Is it a telepathy sort of deal? Are we all weird sailor moon-esque cats in a way that literally open and close our mouths to speak despite probably not having the right vocal cords? Are we running on basically just body language and communicating within the cat species? (I'm getting way too existential here.)

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.
