((But you...Aren't doing it...))

Well, I can't mix up my posts for something else at a glance, so I didn't feel a need to.

((If it helps, though, it's no problem!))

[Greatness942]

((I'll update this soon))

Spoiler: I had to do it. I'm sorry. (click to show/hide)

Name:Edwad Emberpants

Origin Universe: Crikens dark souls 3 world

Homeland: Unknown, closest thing he has is lothric.

Appearance:(check the other spoiler box, it was to big to put here)

Backstory: Edwads story starts much the same as that of all other unkindled. Awakening in the ground with only a small fragment of your memories remaining. Not even Edwad knows what his retained memories are. Even very early he showed significant prowess compare to past unkindled, even compared to other chosen unkindled. Slaying Gundyr on his first attempt. Very quickly he met up with the two warriors of sunlight who had been sent to guide him on his journey. Gwyns firstborn(relation to THAT Gwyn is unknown.) and 100% Cinder Sun. Gwyn would serve to be very much his tether to sanity, guiding him through his journey, with a gentle hand and the knowledge needed to succeed. Cinder Sun however, would serve as a corruptive influence upon Edwad. Goading him to attack and kill, to bring pain to all those he met. Edwad would kill his way through the lords of cinder, while also slaying any who would seek to rekindle the flame in his place. In the end, it was Cinder Suns influence that had taken root in his mind, and he turned upon both Gwyn and the loyal firekeeper that had aided him thus far without question. Thus, rather then rekindling the flame once more, or snuffing it out for an age of darkness to emerge, he claimed its power for himself.

For the TL;DR of it, you can watch the YouTube series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrJ8nFyja94VM_9s-mEBTqpw_dMRNhQmm

Personality: Edwads personality is best described as... hectic. He's friendly, and always cheerful, even when he shouldn't be, no, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SHOULDN'T BE. This includes, while murdering some of his closest friends, brutally, with a giant fucking cattle iron, for next to no reason. Or while executing random people, once again for next to no reason. Yet when he actually gets into a fight, on his own that is, he becomes deathly quiet, almost emotionless, and incredibly efficient. Edwad Emberpants is somebody you do not want to be on the bad side of, but not on the good side of either, your probably better off avoiding him. Why he does the things he does, nobody knows.

Alignment: Chaotic... that's it, just chaotic. One minute he could be saving a child from a burning building, the next he could be setting that child on fire himself. Edwad is a fucking psychopath kept in line only by the other warriors of sunlight... well, two of them at least. Sometimes the third

Weaponry:
Soldering iron - literally a giant fucking branding iron. It doesn't do much damage, it's just agonizing, which makes it so much worse that it is the only weapon he uses when killing his enemies, because you die slowly, in agony.
Pyromancy flame - the catalyst for using Edwads pyromancy. He can't cast any without it.
Staff - just a staff for using sorceries, nothing special about the staff itself.
Talisman - used for casting miracles.

Abilities:
Drink Estus - Edwad drinks from his estus flask, this has up to ten uses, and restores the users body a good deal when used, but takes time to do so, leaving the user vulnerable while drinking.
Seed of a giant tree - invaders take a corporeal existence in the world when used from the point of use onwards. This means that anything can interact with invaders and be interacted with by them, including the Androzi, depending on the invader, this could be good or bad.
Pyromancies(need pyromancy flame to cast):

• Boulder heave - Edwad vomits up a fucking rock three times the size of his head. Naturally, this tends to be very good at breaking people's guards.
• Sacred flame - Edwad grabs his target, and then ignites a fire inside of their body. One of his most commonly used spells.
• Chaos storm - Edwad throws a huge ball of chaotic fire that causes magma to erupt from the ground for a short time after landing.
  

Sorceries(need staff to cast)

• Crystal magic weapon - enhances the weapon held in the right hand with crystallized magic.
• Frozen weapon - enhances the weapon held in the right hand with frost, slowing targets hit.
  
• Twisted wall of light - creates an invisible barrier around the caster for three seconds that deflects any magic projectiles hitting it, all other attacks pass through unimpeeded.

Miracles(need talisman to cast):

• lightning blade - enhances weapon held in the right hand with lightning.
• dark blade - enhances weapon held in right hand eight darkness.
• divine pillars of light - pillars of light strike down randomly around the caster from above

Edwad. Ember. Hands. - after claiming the power of the first flame for himself, Edwad became incredibly powerful... for a while anyway, then the flame began to die out... again, as usual. So now Edwad can only occasionally draw upon the remaining vestiges of its power. However this does mean he is immune to natural fire and can control it, and that the fires he makes are far less hindered by physical protection.
Bonfire - having control of the first flame, Edwad can make enchanted bonfires. If rested at outside of combat, the bonfires will heal the body of whoever rested at them.

(( As someone loves Criken, this is awesome...and frightening. Approved! You'll enter on Turn 2. It's Turn 1, and we have 4 missions before the next turn. So, just observe, I guess.))

((@Everyone: Should I do it this way, with reinforcements? Or should I go the Shadow Lords route, and have a current player leave the team to let in the new guy, joining a waitlist to come back in? On the one hand, it's more like Shadow Lords. On the other, a player has to leave to let the new guy on. I like the former, but let me know what you think!))

[Failbird105]

I have a question, would I be allowed to have the warriors of sunlight as well? I would be willing to add hostile phantoms as well if you think it would be necessary for balance.

((In the original Shadow Lords, there are random events that add allies and enemies. The ones with allies are only damage dealing events and don't add them to the battle, but since this is a Forum Game, events that add characters will be a thing. There are character-specific quests, but also character specific random events, so the Warriors of Sunlight can be added should the right event happen. There are also events that add enemies to battles, so a bad result on a choice (which, like FTL, is not a guaranteed good or bad, no matter the choice) can add Phantoms. Once again, character specific random events.

TL;DR: Per the original game's rules: Yes (Now, anyway), and Yes (Always the case).))

[Failbird105]

Yes, the Warriors of sunlight... and Moose, shall fight again!


*edit: I added the ability to make nerfed bonfires and drink estus to Edwads sheet. The bonfires can only heal and restore estus flasks, and can't do either in the middle of combat. If you think either of those is to powerful, then I can remove it or nerf it.

((It really isn't. While some of your abilities can be overpowered in theory, in practice I don't know how they work on the field, and it's either you nerf or I buff, so it's easily fixable should the need arise.))

Turn One: Time for Action (Part Two):

With the explanation of the Emporium out of the way, and the question posed as to the direction of the efforts, the first to speak wasn't a request, but rather a question that should be asked, courtesy of Kyren: "What missions are there?", he simply asks. Hunter nods his head, before pulling the Holo-Globe back out, using a touchscreen to pull up the mission menu:

Spoiler: Mission List (click to show/hide)

North America: Difficulty: Easy. Description: A town in San Francisco is under assault by the Androzi, with buildings burning and citizens under fire. Enemy(ies): Androzi Scout (Power Level: I)

Europe (Kino der Toten): Difficulty: Easy. Description: An abandoned theater known as the German Sun Cinema is under threat of Corruption from the Androzi. Enemy(ies): Androzi Scout (Power Level: I)

Europe (Verruckt): Difficulty: Easy. Description: An asylum in Germany is under fire by the Androzi, and despite it's abandoned state, the Corruption may still spread... Enemy(ies): Androzi Scout (Power Level: I)

Asia: Difficulty: Medium. Description: A fishing village near Tosando is under siege by the Androzi, and they're bringing the big guns for this assault. Enemy(ies): Androzi Warrior (Power Level: II, Rage)

"These are the available missions. One is in America, two in places in Europe marked with names based on them being Zombie problem areas: an asylum nicknamed Verruckt, and the German Sun Cinema marked Kino der Toten, respectively translated to "Insane" and the "Theater of the Damned" or "Theater of the Dead". Finally, a fishing village near Tosando is under siege from a more difficult Androzi Warrior. Please choose whichever one you want. Four for Four.". Kyren nods and steps back to look to the globe.

Sly Marbo stands up straight from his leaning position, and looks to the Japanese area on the map with the more difficult enemy. With a glare and a nod, he says, "I will go to Asia.". However, then Asaji speaks up, "Hey, I'm the one here who's genetics are 93.2% from varying Asian ethnicity. The remaining 6.8% is modified. Either way, I would like the mission in Asia thank you very much!". Hunter holds a hand up, before picking a coin out of his pocket. It's green, and appears to have some sort of green, magical line creating a spiderweb of glowing mana that covers the outside of the standard heads/tails format. Heads seems to be the head of an old man with a large beard the long, messy hair. Tails is a brilliant spire surround by arches with Rifts in them, it's place of origin and thus the monumental tower on the back being named "The Nexus." "Asaji, since you've started the argument: Heads, or Tails? Also, accept your victory-slash-defeat calmly, we are on a time crunch starting...soon."

Yung Venuz then floats...hovers...exists over to Hunter and says, "I'll take Europe. I have some old friends there."". Hunter nods and says, "Of course. Which European problem area will you choose: Verruckt or Kino der Toten?"

((Verruckt and Kino der Toten))

[TheBiggerFish]

"Verruckt."

[S34N1C]

((Damnit TBF I was gonna pick that one))

In that case, I'll take Kino der Toten

[piratejoe]

"Alright, I'll take tails and hopefully victory."

[Failbird105]

WHOOPSY DAISY, just realized I gave Edwad a staff and no spells(pyromancies don't count, and Boulder heave is one of those). I'm probably going to limit what spells I give him to buffs, otherwise he'd be a bit TOO versatile.

It's done. I now have a weapon buff for every element type(besides fire because I can already do that), a defensive buff, an AoE attack(there where no other buffs that weren't redundant), and an item that I just think will make the game more interesting for Edwad.

[Greatness942]

@Failbird105: Seems fine. A pretty decent attempt at balance will help in the long term, and the character itself is awesome. Like I said, Turn Dos, and Edwad can show that mug off.
