Finals is over, time for RPG again

VANGUARD HEROES

Story: Eternia is a place with rich amount source of power. Adam bestowed it to us to build this world with care and prosper in mind. Unfortunately the people who use the immense powers lies within them tend to grew corrupt. The dynamic that creates the apex system that prey upon the weak created a world governed by predators who only use others for their benefits. There are multiple factions and cult that divided mankind towards the path of destruction. Thankfully, A hero put a stop to that and unite all the world leaders to reach peace and brighter future. However, those who still cling on to the ideals of might and superiority still glooms in the darkness and separate themselves than the other. These factions and cult still try to revive the old ways of might and superiority believing that power and might is not something to be used to defend the weak but to conquer and reach beyond mankind.

Soon, the world leader created The Vanguard Initiative. While the Hero is still active in duty to protect the innocents from the evil that lurks in the shadow. The Vanguard Initiative serve to be the front line against the dark invaders that tries to bring chaos upon this land and put a stop to them at once by bringing justice towards their front door. The duty is waiting and we hope to receive from the best of you.


Character Sheet:
Name:
Character description: [age, sex, location, race, orc? elf? basically describe who and what your character is in this section]
Equipment: [What you use on the battlefield]
Abilities: [What you can do on the battlefield]
Position: [ Where you'd like to position your character during combat automatically. Example: Front liner / Long range / Back line / Mid range / Stealth ]

(IMPORTANT! The setting is not strict so the use of any fire arms / science fiction technology / magic is allowed. Though if there's anything overpowered listed in the stats, i would nerf/adjust it so it doesn't go overboard at the start)

*Note: The game doesn't use dice or any RNG and relies heavily on character stats, narrative planning, strategy and most importantly, teamwork to calculate every outcome. Also, no god modding.

Looking to play with 6-8 Players. Thank you for taking the time to read and or participating.

[Stirk]

Name: Paladin Gax Underwood
Character description: Male Dwarf, in a suit of plate armor up to their neck. Head has a WW-1 style bucket helmet instead, with a blond braided viking style beard. Eyes are green with a long scar across his nose. Short and stout, as one would expect from the average member of his race.
Equipment: "Elisabeth", an axe-rifle. A semi-automatic rifle with a wooden stock and battle axe blades to the right and left of the barrel.
Abilities: Weaponspeak: The Dwarven Art of Modular Enchantment. Essentially this allows him to give a single bonus to his weapon by talking to it, which can then be swapped out for another bonus by talking to it again.
As an example, "We really need tha next shot ta land!" would cause the barrel to glow green and give a bonus to accuracy as the axe-rifle attempts to help him hit the target.
If he than said "This baddie's got some serious armor! Punch through 'er Elizabeth!" the barrel's green glow would be replaced by a red one and the bullets would have armor-piercing enchantment.
Weaponspeak must be something the weapon is capable of. It will attempt to try its best at doing something it is incapable of. For example if he asked to become invisible, the rifle would add a silencer enchantment but you could still see both him and his weapon. In general he is capable of enchanting a weapon's physical attributes, changing damage type (including adding elemental damage), making it obey simple commands (such as returning to his hands after throwing it), and enhancing skills as the weapon tries to be cooperative. It works with any weapon, but it must be a weapon that Gax is currently wielding. Granting a bonus than handing the weapon off to someone else removes the bonus.
Position: Front Liner

[MeimieFan88]

Name: Portalis Argus Alluvia
Character description: Male Drow Elf, slim with silver hair, purplish eyes, and sharp elven features. Skin tone is a desaturated steel blue, a bit lighter than most Drows. Average height for his race (which is pretty tall). Wears light armor and has a dark purple cape. Before the world became united with peace, Portalis was an opportunistic power-seeker and rogue who reveled in the chaos. Now with the Vanguard Initiative rising to power, it seems that joining them may be an easier option to obtain power and world domination than fighting against them, even if he has to help a few less fortunate souls along the way.
Equipment: Dual Elven Curve Blades, one enchanted with acid and the other with anti-magic. Also carries a variety of elemental daggers in his belt, and one hidden in his boots. The cape is just for show, but doesn't really get in the way during combat.
Abilities:
- Super speed and reflexes: Portalis is extremely hard to hit
- Advanced Shadow Magic:
   - Shadow Blast (like a fireball, but dark magic)
   - Invisibility (turns invisible for a duration)
   - Blink (teleports a short distance away from his current location)
   - Lesser Domination (spell that can influence the minds of others to a lesser extent)
   - Shadow Image (project an illusionary image of himself somewhere, the image must be in or near the shadows)
   - Dark Bliss (send a wave of leeching darkness around himself, draining nearby enemies of their life force and healing him)
   - Fatal Grasp (grab a target, dealing immense damage and paralyzing pain. using this spell will weaken Portalis for a duration afterwards)
Position: Prefers stealth or front line, situational mid range

((Hope this isn't too overpowered))
((edit: added a spell))

You mean as a still object or living props?

[Supernerd]

Character description: [age, sex, location, race, orc? elf? basically describe who and what your character is in this section]

Its implied that locations are under the scope of what a character can be here.

Character description: [age, sex, location, race, orc? elf? basically describe who and what your character is in this section]

Its implied that locations are under the scope of what a character can be here.

That's a character description to elaborate the details of your character, explaining what age/gender/race/location from.

[Supernerd]

One more thing I want to confirm before attempting to create a character. Would you be willing to inform me prior to the game start if something about my character needs to be nerfed or adjusted? I recall it being a nasty surprise when it happened in the last game of yours that I played so I really want to know about this kind of thing in advance this time.

Sure, would you like me to PM you or just explain it here?

[Supernerd]

I'll let you decide on the manner in which you want to say it, assuming that you even need to.

Spoiler: Application (click to show/hide)

Name: Phobic
Character description: A kind of 'Parasite Horror' from another world. It takes the form of a semi-translucent slime entity with a head, four spindly arms, and instead of legs it has a long tail with some disturbing looking claw-like appendages at the end. Phobic volunteered its services to Vanguard with the cryptic reasoning that they share a common enemy.
Equipment: Phobic does not currently own any worldly possessions, but is capable of utilizing equipment it finds.
Abilities:
Symbiosis: Phobic's signature ability. Using Symbiosis, it attaches itself a willing host with its tail. While connected, the host is strengthened, and gains access to new abilities. These new abilities are different for each person and do not necessarily relate to any of Phobic's other powers. The process of merging is painful at first, but does not cause any serious harm to most life forms. While merged, Phobic resides inside the target. Cancelling Symbiosis takes a turn, and if the host dies while connected, Phobic will be heavily injured.
Manifest: Phobic emerges from a host's back without disconnecting. In this state, it is vulnerable to conventional attacks, but can use its four arms to wield additional weapons and make use of the host's weapon related talents.
Fear Animus: Phobic conjures a physical manifestation representing a target's fears. This is most powerful when channeling the fear of a symbiotic host (Though this may ellicit a negative reaction from them). This ability needs to be channeled each turn to be sustained which requires heavy focus.
Levitation: While not merged, Phobic can levitate several meters above ground. It is highly nimble in this state, but its abilities will be weaker than the merged state.
Position: Pre-Merged with a willing Ally, or Back Line is none available.
