Midnight Magic ~ Under Thief's Guise [OOC / S / A]

[Merci]

Well... *shrug* You asked for it.

It's Shishi Shishishishi.

This isn't something that easily translates into English. Since 'shishi' is also Lion in Japanese, that's technically what a normal person would think his name is. Sooo yeah~

[Super Chaos Sonic]

..........

 

Sorry I asked. I'll just say Lion.

 

And just to clarify...the Ace of Diamonds is where? Cause I noticed you said the Sapphire Diamond is in the mask.

 

AND TO CLARIFY TO EVERYONE WITH THE SUITS!! The card is important!! They give the Magician the secondary ability (Ex. The Ace of Spades holds the temporary healing & the Emerald Spade holds the power of wind).

[RogueZero]

Is there any qualification to become the holder of the Aces?

 

forget it ...

 

Now I want to ask, can I steal Aces & Gems from the former holder?

Aresen Lupin...

 

Have a problem with that Zero. Not only are we talking the GREATEST thief in literature...but within the Detective Conan anime, Kaitou Kid is sometimes referred as the Modern Day Aresen Lupin (to contrast Shinichi Kudo to being referred as the Modern Day Sherlock Holmes). Its a nice idea...but I'm going to have to say no on the name. May have to change it.

 

As for stealing the Suits...well the thing is, the holders aren't just going to run out and say "HEY I HAVE ONE OF THE SUITS!!" ...it would target them to completely eliminated. Only Kaitou Kid is reported to have the known Suit: the Spade. So how would you steal something that is supposed to remain a secret?

Already changed it ... I think I'll finish the app tomorrow.
as for that stealing matters, he's bound to bump into all of them isn't he? XDDD
 

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Thank you for understand about the name.

 

And yes he is...but its not like he'll know RIGHT away that they have the Suit. It may be revealed later...but still.

[ListenToLife]

The suits could still end up changing hands a couple of times during the RP, but I reckon that would have to be up to the owner of said suit's discretion.

Stealing both would be unfair though. Stealing a card or a gem could be more reasonable, and would definitely balance out the power of the RP.

 

Anyway, making my app. Will put it on this post, methinks.

 

EDIT: Here we go:

 

[spoiler=Dean Thompson]
"A simple life is all I desire. Strange, considering what I do, yes?"

Personal Information
Name: Dean Thompson
Age: 25 (I love how the majority of 'master thieves' so far are teens xD)
Gender: Male
[spoiler=Personality:]Dean is, at heart, a very simple man. He prefers life without complications, and is often discouraged from activities involving strenuous activity...or activity itself. His main desire is to live a peaceful life in the country somewhere, with naught but perhaps a quiet, loving pet to keep him company, and an orchard or something from which to get his food. A library full of stories, and clear night sky, to see the stars. Not a big dream, yes?

 

Well, not big in one sense. Very big in another. In a monetary value, that particular dream is pushing the limits of his funds. And by that, I mean he has little money, definitely not enough to buy, or even locate, such a place. And that's why he requires the suits. The gate to Pandora, as far as Dean is aware, would be a particularly valuable thing. And that's why he will pursue it, finding it in the simplest way possible; using his skills.

 

Yes, skills. I never said he was simple in the brain. Just in the heart. His mind is a mysterious and powerful thing, in actuality. With a genius-like intellect (as most people seem to have nowadays) and a particular skill for psychology, he has managed to make his way quite well as an illusionist. Well, decently well. His fame is hardly reknowned, and he doesn't exactly play any shows, but that's just how he likes it. Being such a peaceful and simple man, he prefers smaller outlets, such as street corners and pub shows, where he can be an honest chap, with but a few simple but dastardly clever tricks to bewilder and amuse his audience...while grabbing all their valuables.

 

Oh, yes, did I mention? I didn't think I needed to, considering the whole plot of this RP, but Dean's side profession. A thief! ( :o Shock!)

Indeed, Dean actually makes the majority of his money through his slight of hand and illusion tricks, utilising his ability to warp the mind of his victims. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to have much ambition in this role, only aiming for small, easy targets, and never pulling off large heists, but doing so has meant he has yet to gain much attention, and has almost nobody chasing him. However, having heard that the Suits are roaming the streets of Nakama, Dean may actually put some effort into his work. Pandora is a difficult goal to reach; no man can reach there without a bit of elbow grease. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Biography:]Dean was, from an early age, two things. The first was a genius. A pure and simple genius. His intellect rivalled that of university graduates by the time he was entering british highschool, at 11, and any home tutors his parents tried to hire were just outclassed by the young boy.

The second was he was exceptionally lazy. Despite his large intellect, he refused to push ahead of others his age, taking life as slow as he could. Despite possibly being able to sit his GCSE's relatively easily while still in a single digit age, he waited until he was 16, having spent most of his highschool life sitting at the back of the class, playing with a deck of cards or reading a book. Any teachers that opposed this soon learnt just to ignore it, as the child was always further ahead than even the teacher, and no matter what remark they made, he would have a more intelligent comment awaiting them.

 

A true talent of his, that he discovered not long into highschool, was his knowledge of psychology. Even before he had started to study it, he already had a hard grasp on it, albeit in informal way. He could manipulate people to do what he asked, he could pry into people's minds with a few choice words. Initially strict teachers would be broken within a day, bullies would be bawling to parents after a few minutes with him.

Of course, this talent of his was not exactly supported. His first highschool expelled him after 2 years, claiming 'psychological abuse' of its students. His second highschool offered more lenience towards his talents, but he still remained rather disconnected from the students, and spent much of his time daydreaming.

 

While not precisely a passion, he found himself relatively interested by the concept of magic, and illusion after a few years at the second school. An 'aquaintence', the closest thing to a friend he had, introduced him to it at a small birthday party Dean had. Being fascinated by it, Dean spent much of his time proceeding to master this new found skill, becoming somewhat of a talented slight-of-hand artist, and an especially talented illusionist, using his power over words to manipulate his audience. 

 

He never quit gained fame or anything though. After he graduated from highschool, he dropped off the radar. He vanished from Britain and reappeared in Japan, in Nakama city. Not long after perfecting his magical talents, he discovered a item of his father's, something he had not expected. A simple glove, a perfect fit for Dean, surprisingly, but one hiding a mysterious power.

 

After discovering this artifact, he had confronted his father, who had admitted to once being a Magician Thief, one who took part in an almost legendary war to find the 'Merlin's Suit', which he had failed in.

After hearing the tale from his father, Dean suddenly found himself with a goal, and fled to Japan, where he managed to track down the rough location of the suits - Nakama city.

 

He joined the university there, finishing a psychology degree within a year, relatively easily, and gained a teaching Job at Nakama high, which he has been in for the last few years. 'Mr Thompson' is a relatively popular teacher at the school, being one of the more laidback, and yet obviously one of the most intelligent of them all. His classes enjoy his occasional magic trick, and he manages to be able to teach them the necessary things even while having fun with them. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance:]

Dean stands at about 5'11 with a lithe yet muscular build, which may appear instead to be mere slender-ness and malnourishment when he is wearing his general attire. This consists mainly of white shirts and black ties accompanied by a plain black waistcoat, as seen in the image, though when going for a more casual look, he may choose to don a simple t-shirt and jeans.[/spoiler]

Magician Information
Magician Thief Name: Whatever you want. You lot can act as the minor, college Tabloid that notices him, and give him a name.
[spoiler=Appearance:]The same as he currently is. If particularly worried about being caught, he might wear a medium length trenchcoat and a hat to hide his face, but that's generally at night. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Weapons:]~A single, fingerless glove worn on his right hand when he goes pilfering. It slightly distorts space around it, allowing him to reach his hand through pretty much any material with ease, helping his slight of hand. It doesn't affect his whole body.

~Like any good magician, he carries generic magician equipment. A deck of cards, a few coins, multiple pieces of cloth, eggs, etc. Most things can be used as a weapon by him, such as by throwing them(coins/cards) or as distractions(cloth).

~Just like everyone else, Dean of course owns a gun. A simple pistol, semi-automatic, .38 calibre. Nothing special really. He has relative talent with it as well, but dislikes the lethality of it. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Suit Attacks/Tricks:]~Where are you looking? By use of only his vocabulary, he can make a person pay so little attention that he can manage to get away even if they are looking straight at him.

~A little birdy told me... By merely analyzing a person's body language and tone of voice, Dean can predict/uncover certain pieces of information about that person, such as relationships with others, or particular emotions they are feeling.

~It's his fault! Again, by choice words, Dean can turn even the greatest of friends against each other.

~Y'know what? Never mind With naught but his speech, he can disinterest someone in his actions.

~Feeling spook'd? Dean accesses a person's deepest fears, and using them against them.

 

Oh, and he often does this thing where he pretends to be hurt in the hand, but it turns out he isn't. Cos, y'know, his hand's just perfect and stuff. But I cant think of a name for it.[/spoiler]

Other Information
~A light smoker, though not a habitual one. Under times of stress he may choose to light one, disregarding wherever he might be, and the rules of said place.

~Currently resides in a simple apartment a few blocks away from Nakama High.

~Owns a pet dog named Sam, who is a light brown Alasation

~He teaches Maths and English mostly at Nakama, though his lessons can occasionally involve some sort of Psychology or Neuroscience lecture. He has requested a Psychology lesson be added to the timetable, but has yet to hear back.

I started then got distracted >.> Will finish in a few days. Not tomorrow; busy tomorrow.

Done.

Stealing both would be unfair though. Stealing a card or a gem could be more reasonable, and would definitely balance out the power of the RP.

My thoughts exactly LTL. However, still up to the owner.

 

And I await your application ^^

[Ren✧]

Added the ace location into the last sentence of the appearance. 

[Merci]

I think I mentioned it in the Appearance already. He hides the Ace of Diamonds beneath his sleeve.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Thank you Renegade!

 

And...ah! You are right, Merciful! Guess I looked over it xD Either way, Lion is accepted!

[spoiler=Plot Summary]

"Half dead" is what a lot of people would call the world nowadays, united under a single all-powerful world government, the planet is sucked dry and polluted by the government. A government that was supposed to unite the world in peace and prosperity for all reigns supreme in this world putting the rights of big companies and political fat-cats first over even the individual citizens that a government is supposed to serve. The world hasn't heard a name like 'America' or 'Britain' in a good many years, yet 'freedom' is a commonly used prop for the government while forcing its citizens to live in barely up-kept cities dotted with oxygen 'factories' and painted with workplaces of the lower class --factories with dated equipment and moderately poor work conditions.

Because of these rather unkept living conditions, crime has become a rather common part of every day life. Without enough government officers to herd the disruption they cause, the government calls on companies of bounty-hunters to take care of most of the scum. Bounty-hunters, or just 'hunters', are government sanctioned groups of 'special individuals' who have the power to hunt down and eliminate or capture any criminal threat, though many bounty-hunter companies are ranked with some of the most vicious criminals the government could control. Scum hunting scum, the perfect system for the lazy government, but there are also individuals littered into the mix of bounty-hunters. Whether working alongside the criminals of their company or in their own individual company, many individuals have also entered the stray for their own personal reasons to work directly for the government and hunt down criminals for a decent pay.

One of said individual bounty-hunter companies has been slowly rising in their ranks lately because of an influx of criminal activity in their city. The group, Crisis Company, is situated in the city of Mekanna Rassa, a medium sized city specializing in weapon manufacturing. Lately, the company has been getting much more work than usual because of an influx of criminal activity against their local manufacturing industry. From thefts to even bombings, many big name bounties have hit the desks of Crisis Company's higher-ups, and what's more, there's been an increase in rebel activity by a rebel group calling themselves the Rassa Rebels.

Welcome to Mekanna Rassa. As a member of Crisis Company, new or veteran, criminal or not, you have sworn your word to uphold the laws and values of your government and company. Accepting bounties your assigned, you carry out these missions to find and capture the target dead or alive. Your company has a moderate failure rate, but a very high success rate and with all of these incoming bounties, you're gonna make it even higher as you carry out your duty as a hunter.

You ask, and the humble thief is obliged to answer!

 

It will be done Kyng!

 

Either way, once Hotaru fixes a few things and Zero and LTL finish their apps, we can probably start this puppy off!!

[Kyng's Old Account]

I just noticed the RP's Soundtrack; that idea seems f*cking amazing, dude. Can I use that in my latter projects?

[Super Chaos Sonic]

By all means, please do!

 

Though, I was hoping the other applicants would have themes to their apps so I could add them...but none yet _-_

[Kazooie]

I am considering joining this. I'm really interested, and I've talked with Black about it too. If he's interested enough to join, I will for sure, but if he isn't I can't guarantee I will. ^^''

[Hotaru987]

I really don't know what's going on with that link, but it's just not working. So I got rid of it. But the app is finished now.

[Dwarven King]

CS! This looks amazing!!!! No idea what anime this is, but I must now find it! O:

 

Also, I wish to reserve a spot for this. And if at all possible, I would like to have the Ace of Clubs & Ameythist Club as well. Of course, if another applicant post first, I won't argue. ^^ I promise to have an excellent application in! =D

[Hotaru987]

Sorry Dwarven, I already beat you to it. :p

[Dwarven King]

Damn it! I had such an awesome idea too! D:

 

Very well then, I shall create something else! ...I'm assuming being a Dwarf is out of the question? xD

[Merci]

Oh yeah, I forgot to add Lion's theme. I was going to, but just forgot.

 

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA3oPpH7KVg]Lion's Theme - Lilium[/url] (it fits, but the matching with the pic I used for Lion is a COMPLETE COINCIDENCE. This creeps me out).

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQIwPdAXco]The Magician's Lion Theme - Great Three[/url]

[Super Chaos Sonic]

@Kazooie: Oh wow! Thanks for expressing your interest! And if Black joins...its definitely gonna be interesting xD

 

@Dwarven: Heh yeah, sorry about the Club being taken xD But, yes a normal fantasy Dwarf is not gonna happen ^^;

 

@Hotaru: Alright then. Accepted! And with that, the last of the Suit has been filled!

 

@Kirei: Oh these are awesome!! Adding to the soundtrack now!!!

 

....whew...typing all that made my hands cramp xD

[Dwarven King]

I can't have one of the main awesome items, and I can't be a Dwarf. Right then, looks like I'm pulling this one out of my ass.

 

(It was really hard to find two pictures that were semi close, so I apologize! Also, tell me what needs to be fixed!)

 

"Now you see me, now you don't!"

Personal Information
Name: Satou
Age: 22
Gender: Male
[spoiler=Personality] Satou is an upbeat, cheery fellow. Always doing whatever he can to put a smile on someone's face. Whether it be a fancy magic trick, or a lame joke. He's also been known to go out and have a few drinks with friends and socializing whenever possible. However, he still knows when to be serious and is quick at making split second decisions.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Biography] Satou grew up like any other boy in his neighborhood. The only difference was that he was always bored. At least, until he saw his first magic trick done by an old man. He was only 8 years old, but had shown great interest, constantly coming back to see more tricks. Next thing he knew, he was the old man's apprentice. It took years, but he had learned everything the man knew from simple card tricks, to vanishing acts. Needless to say, Satou was no longer bored. In fact, he was always seen walking through the streets with a smile on his face.

 

At the age of 18, Satou's master passed away. Upon his death bed, his master had pulled him close. In a quiet whisper, he told Satou to always be happy, and to continue doing magic tricks. He then handed him a key to his personal cabinet, moments before closing his eyes for good. Satou was stricken at such a loss, and grieved for days, refusing to talk to anyone and barely eating. Finally, after several days of being locked up, he worked up the courage to go to his master's house to open the old man's personal cabinet. To his astonishment, he found his master's prized cane inside. He had only seen it on a few occasions, and now it was his.

 

Now, at the age of 22, Satou does as his master wished and continues using magic. Only he seeks challenges now, and uses his skills to steal only the most valuable of objects...[/spoiler]
