ElÆ’ie Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 [quote name='Jake the Sage' timestamp='1311883810' post='5396256'] Sorry to hear that DMG (TT_TT) [/quote] I don't force characters to come to me..

Jake the Sage Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Nevex stop your bellyaching Techi that is a minor bump in the road, not anything to be worried about. And it is not AN Orai . . . it IS Orai. Orai is the name of the world, made up of three main bodies of land: Regio Unus [the Mother Land] - the largest area of land and move diverse in terrain; also hosts the main countries [a total of 6] The Southern Tip - The second largest area of land and home to the toxic swamp; this land mass hosts four countries total Subterra - the smallest of the tree land masses, this is pretty much Orai's artic; it hosts only two countries Besides those there are a few islands dotted throughout the world: Solus The Isle of Denmos AND The Four Isles There is any terrain from dessert to frigid cold tundra so, if you have any questions let me know. [hr] EDIT DMG I guess you could use singing 8 / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkeland Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Finished my app. Now time for bed... [b]Name:[/b] Jurao C. Lumen [b]Alias/Title:[/b] The Lonely Storm [b]Age[/b]: 19 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [spoiler=[b]Appearance[/b]:][img]http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/zz220/Doctor_Gil/Decorated%20images/180e216e1ff29ce568cbc3d40f5c84c8-1.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [b]Personality[/b]: Jurao is a fun-loving individual, rushing into a new situation with an air of excitement. However, he has trouble interacting with people, even his friends. Believing that music can communicate with people more than words ever could, Jurao finds himself at ease when performing with another person. Jurao will often find himself envying others, celebrating them before himself. [b]Species[/b]: Human [b]Instrument[/b]: Drums: Carries a snare drum with a retractable cymbal attachment. [b]Weapon[/b](s): Two pairs of nunchaku that double as drumsticks. [b]Chord[/b]: 'Thunder of Earth and Sky' - Jurao begins to play his snare drum, summoning storms clouds overhead and causing mild tremors in the ground. If he begins to play the snare drum faster, the tremors will become localized earthquakes which he can direct. The rain will also increase proportionately, with a vigorous high-speed song causing rain to blanket a city. Striking his cymbal will summon lightning to wherever he wishes, with small strikes summoning smaller lightning bolts and harder strikes larger ones. Longer or more intense songs will tire him out faster, forcing him to resort to striking only when necessary. If he plays for more than a few minutes, he powers will begin to backfire. [b]Leitmotif[/b]: 'Storms of Sorrow' - Jurao plays his snare drum as fast as he can in the direct center, trapping his opponent in a violent earthquake centered on their location. When he deems them off guard, he will switch to playing the cymbal as quickly as possible, summoning a torrent of endless lightning bolts to overwhelm them. He will alternate between cymbal and snare drum, switching from lightning assaults to crushing earthquakes and vice-versa. After ten seconds, his arms become drained and immobile. A full minute is required for them to recover, though his following attacks will be at about half-strength. [b]Bio[/b]: Jurao was born an only child into a poor family, barely managing to make ends meet. Everyday was a struggle to survive, with his parents often considering to leave him to fend for himself. One day when he was 5 years old, his father had returned with a large sum of money he had received from winning a local raffle. They used their new funding to jumpstart their lives, purchasing a small home and receiving an average. With each passing year, his mother and father gained more money and social status while neglecting him more and more. Jurao would try time and again to get them to play with him, but they always claimed they were too busy or simply didn't want to at the time. This continued until Jurao was 13, when he was ready to act on his own without his parents support. He journeyed into town with a meager allowance he had save over the years, enough to buy himself one gift. An old man sitting on a park bench nearby whistled into the wind, drawing the boys attention. Lost in his own thoughts, the old man whistled an unknown song and tapped his foot to the beat. Jurao felt the sensation of the music the man produced and found himself entranced by the rhythm. Deciding on what his goals would be, the boy purchased a single snare drum, one that would stay with him into the present. Jurao left him home and began to tour the world, seeking out grand sights. As much as he tried to when entering spectacular cities, he could not bring himself to talk to the people he saw. The memory of his parents neglecting him made him doubt himself, rendering him unable to speak with other comfortably. Jurao almost contemplated returning home before overhearing a few strangers speak of a Great Composer's Sheet Music. They said it would grant whomever the power of God himself. Jurao thought on this new concept, deciding to acquire that Sheet Music to force him to overcome his personal fears. He set off to find this grand treasure, with nothing but his single drum to support him. [spoiler=[b]Techniques/Spells/Etc.[/b]: ] 'Raining on my Doorstep' - Using the rain summoned by his Chord, Jurao focuses on his target and causes them to experience severe depression. If the target has a strong will or Jurao is interrupted, the spell is broken. He can only use the spell once per day. 'Raindrops, Raindrops' - Once again, Jurao uses the rain produced by his Chord to cause severe paranoia to specified target. If the target has a strong will or Jurao is interrupted, the spell is broken. He can only use the spell once per day.[/spoiler] [b]Other Interesting Facts[/b]: In some instances, but mostly in combat, Jurao will compare situations or people to food or cooking ("Someone is a sour lemon." "If you get madder, hothead, I can serve you up as a nice soup." "Break a few eggs, make an omelette, they say.") [b]Theme[/b]: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOeGCJdZe4[/media] [spoiler=[b]RP Sample[/b]:] Sunlight illuminated and heated the concrete city, basking everything within its reach. The light reflected off the polished windows of the tall buildings and the local bodies of water in the city's park. The people of the city were bustling and busy, pushing into another on the crosswalks and side streets. Though not in the least bit rude, the citizens were impatient and rushed as they had places to go and people to see. None had even taken notice to the strange weather on the horizon. A soft, steady rhythm could be heard as dark clouds loomed overhead. Unlike the foretelling of rain, these clouds collected into a small area and travel across the sky in a steady pace. Should one take them time they would see the clouds were following the rhythm and its creator. A man with wearing a simple black vest and gold-colored headphones walked along the barren road, playing a snare drum fixed to his torso. He would vary the beats of his drum, slower then faster then slower again, with the clouds overhead becoming smaller then larger then smaller again in response. Jurao, as he was known, walked into town where his dark clouds and steady beats went unnoticed by the busy citizens. He smiled to himself and continued playing; usually he would be given quizzical looks or asked to stop disturbing the peace. Not to mention people would try to start a conversation with him, which he tried to avoid like the plague. But that was for another time as Jurao continued to play his merry song while he made his way further into the city.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu Hansung Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I like that drummer concept, ekikin. He does quite a bit though...healing, invisibility, paranoia, depression, small AoE, extreme AoE, and directional... Also, nice song choice ^^ EDIT: Jake, if you want I can make a map for you, complete with musical themed areas.

Birkeland Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hmm.. too much you think? I really just want to keep the rain and storm powers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu Hansung Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah, it is quite a bit (Thought I shouldn't complain because you'd be a DREAM opponent with my Distortion ability XD) Basically, you do everything except flight and teleportation xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkeland Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 You're right, I'll take out most of my spells except the rain ones. My rain spells won't really work most of the time, they're just there to work on mooks and show the force of will you guys have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake the Sage Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well tone down the powers a bit, and possibly adding a downside would be preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkeland Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Fixed. Rain spells are now single-target, single-use. Powers will begin to backfire if I use them for too long and I need a full minute to recharge my Leitmotif (powers will be at half-strength afterward.)

Shadow Zero Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 [b]Name: [/b]William Sarlone[b] [/b] [b]Alias/Title:[/b] Bard of Rock [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] William stands at six feet tall and has an athletic build with some amount of muscle, although not so much that he looks ripped or anything. He has short, blonde hair, blue eyes, and can usually be found wearing a plain white shirt and a black or blue pair of jeans in addition to a black pair of shoes. He is always wearing a blue baseball hat, and always has his guitar on him. He has no scars, visible or otherwise, and is caucasian. [b]Personality:[/b] William has a carefree nature, and is a bit of a romantic. That said, he usually tries chatting up any pretty looking ladies that he sees, although he usually goes overboard and gets not only shot down, but in major trouble for it as well. Despite this, he always keeps an upbeat attitude, being the eternal optimist that he is. However, like everyone else, there's more then just this one side to William. Any time he gets into a serious fight, he gives it his all, and more often then not doesn't hold back unless he feels like toying around with his opponent. Then again, if his opponent is a pretty lady, he has a tendency to be to lighthearted about it and starts being overly flirtatious. Despite his easy going nature though, he spends most of his free time either practicing music on his guitar or doing some training. [b]Species:[/b] Human, obviously [b]Instrument:[/b] His instrument is a flying V electric guitar that has been weaponized with an inbuilt Beam Sword that emanates from the base of it. [b]Weapon(s):[/b] Williams main weapon is his weaponized guitar. In case William somehow manages to lose his guitar or has to take part in melee combat, he has a pair of spiked gauntlets as his backup. [b]Chord:[/b] William's weaponized guitar uses sound waves and concentrates them into a half visible solid base that is approximately a one foot radius circle of sound that is sent flying at his opponent for mid to long range combat. For close range combat he uses his in built beam sword. The size and shape of the blade can be manipulated to a certain limited extent, but cannot surpass a minimum of three feet in length, nor surpass a maximum of six feet in length. However, it also has the ability to store energy and release it in a single swing at full power, or multiple swings at half power or lower, which causes the blade to grow from anywhere from twice to four times it's length at the time. The longer the blade is, the large the amount of energy is unleashed. Also, the wave of energy can be separated into five smaller waves of energy of similar shape and redirected up the three times at the cost of halving the overall power of the attack. His spiked Gauntlets can gather and release fist shaped energy blasts, as well as sending a wave of sound at his enemy by clapping his hands together hard enough. [b]Leitmotif: [/b]Twin Warriors: It summons two warriors that use blades and blasters to fight the enemy amidst the falling meteorites. the blaster shots cause explosions with a blast radius of 3 feet. The recharge time is ten of my own posts. Currently considering which of the two aspects to keep. [b]Bio:[/b] William was basically born with a guitar in his hand. Since a young age he has played music both for personal pleasure and for anyone else who was willing to listen. However, that was no longer enough for him when he entered his rebellious teenage years. He wanted to be able to use his music to fight, especially when he started coming across other skilled fighters who used their music to do battle. As a result, he ran away from home and took a journey to the mountains, learning how to live off of the land while he trained day and night for four long years. When he got home it was to a rather upset and worried family who went so far as to take his guitar away from him for fear that he would go running off again and do something that could get him hurt. This did not go over very well, and caused William to ransack the house until he found his guitar and leave. He has not seen his parents since, and being that he has no siblings he felt he had nothing holding him there. From then on he went from one town to another, doing whatever work he could find, using his music as a way to help make ends meet, and doing what he could to complete his education on his own. Shortly after turning twenty he heard the tale of the Great Composers book. It wasn't the first time that he had heard of it, but it was the first time that he had decided to take it seriously. He packed his things and left in search of it the next day. [b]Techniques/Spells/Etc.:[/b] William has specific melodies that he can play on his guitar that are able to affect him and and his allies/opponents for a short period of time, ranging anywhere from an increase in strength, to nausea inducing melodies, to songs that can hinder movement through one way or another. [b]Other Interesting Facts:[/b] I think I already mentioned Wlliam's womanizing tendencies. Other then that and the fact that he is in pursuit of a legend that may or may not exist, there's really nothing else that I can think of at the moment. [b]Theme:[/b] A song eh? Just a moment, let me see if I can pull something up. .................................................. Can;t think of anything at the moment. I'll be sure to post one up when I can though. [b]RP Sample:[/b] Another day, another town. William has been traveling for days now, occasionally playing some melodies on his guitar, but otherwise walking in silence for the most part. He hasn't had any leads on the Great Composer's Book either, not that he expected them to come quickly or easily. Still, even some form of hint, or riddle, or lead no matter how miniscule would have been nice. Then again, he hasn't been asking everyone he passes by, just some people that he thinks might have information at gathering places such as bars and the like. Oh look, a pretty lady all on her own. William smiles, starting to change his walking direction towards her to see if he can get a conversation going. He doesn't even get halfway there when some guy shows up and throws his arm around her shoulders and she rests her head against him. Apparently she's already taken. Pffff lame. William has no interest in girls who aren't still single. Causes way more problems then it's worth. He quickens his walking pace and angles away from the couple, passing them soon enough as he continues walking forwards, keeping an eye out for any place that looks like it might have the type of clientele that specializes in information.
