Bu bu~~~ Wrong on all accounts XD, well besides the ichigo looking dude being a guy.

Megane is a girl and a bit hard to see, but she has braids XD. They're from Yankee Kun to Megane Chan.

I love this manga to bits, like this emote :tighthug:
 
Here is mah Daos. Couldn't find a picture that gave me inspiration, so im adapting a ORP/URP character

Name:
Nadesico Yamato

Age:
Unknown

Gender:
Female

Town:
Unknown

Race:
Daos

Sub Race -
Kitsunari's are fox beings with the ability to shift between full human, partial fox and human or full fox form. They possess traits such as youthful appearance, extreme beauty, more playful personalities, magic, transformation and such. Possess incredible powers and intelligence beyond the comprehension of humans
​
Afilliate:
Daos

Appearance:
Nadesico appears to the world as a 21 year old oriental woman. She is normal height at 161 cm tall and weigh in at around 52 kg. Her body strucutre screams out elegance, delicacy and grace, with long, slender legs and arms. Her pale and blemish-free skin also adds to the porcelain image. On her head is a pair of fox ears that is ivory blonde in colour and a nice tail of the same colour with a white tip that reaches to her ankle from the back of her waist.

When in complete human form, both disappear and her ears are replaced by human ones. When half, her tail is hidden under her kimono while her she grows a pair of ears like this. When in this form, the ears stick out from her hair and is usually a bit relaxes, so it is capable of moving very flexibly like either drooping like a dogs or standing straight up like this. Her tail sometimes can be seen from the bottom of her kimono if she lets it flop. Her hair is dark grey with defining streaks of ivory white through it, which is odd for Kitsunaris and is tied in a rather traditional and elaborate manner (described in attire). When let down, it reaches to the floor and always, from the knee down, split into seven perfect parts with the side tassels by her head making nine.

Nadesico's eyes are steel gray and rather large, but with the outer tips pulled a bit upwards in a slight fox like manner. Her facial appearance is a bit narrow with a higher cheekbone and her lips are pale pink. Her mouth has a perpetual slight smile. Unlike other Kitsunari, who are endowed with more titillating bodies, Nadesico remained more normal, with an average chest and waist. Her figure is perfectly proportioned for these size.

She constantly has an aura of flames around her, giving her an etheral and otherworldly feel. People that hav been in the presence of her that hasn't been incinerated just by her being present would feel an overwhelming pressure of power, daunting even the most experienced humans.

Attire:
Nadesico is dressed in a typical formal japanese manner with kimono, hair decoration and such. For those that can, take a gander at the picture in appearance. Her hair, at the back, is pulled into a high ponytail, set in place by a white ribbon. The sides are pulled back and tied in an elegant bundle with a red cloth with a pair of pin decorations setting it in place (Gold decoration each consist of three pins strung together with a golden material, making them look like extended fans). It is pulled back, but still covers her ears. Her bangs and tassels are left alone at the front. A golden comb headpiece sits halfway between the ponytail and her forehead.

Her kimono is highly decorated and intricate in primary colours of red and pale plum. The colour alternates on her body, with the top being predominately red with the exception of her left sleeve, her right chest and the underlayering of her lower body. All over the red parts are white/pale pink flower designs while the plum parts have light green/ yellow and white flower designs. Around her waist is her obi, with the underlying cloth being plum with a dark plum sash on top with a pale plum ribbon tying the whole thing together. At the back is her obi sash and is once again, pale plum, this time, with designs using many shades of blue. As with most kimonos, it is tight at the waist and leg and loose at the sleeves. However, to aid in fighting, it is looser at the waist below so her legs can move freely. The fold is loose, acting like a side split on a skirt.

On her feet are a pair of white tabi socks and a pair of Okobo, which raises her height and so that her kimono isn't dragged on the ground, but also makes more chance for her tail to be seen. As it is solid wood, it is pretty hefty and strong, not to mention painful if kicked with it.

Personality:
Nadesico is a sly and can be a coy person, not to mention, very hard to read. Her emotions sometimes doesn't really reflect what is on her mind and she could say something, but feel totally differently. Very cryptic and mysterious. However, in general, she is rather happy, but a bit sly, rather preferring to give hints than to outright assist someone. Due to her fox nature, Nadesico can become bored a bit easily, hence she deals with it by being roundabout and a times, play and jerk people around though mostly harmless. Her actions are not dictated by morals to a large degree, but rather interest, her mood and curiosity. She can be incredibly cold and merciless one day and warm and compassionate the next. In essence, she is fleeting and fickle as well as being cheeky, coy and sly.

As childish and playful as she is, when it comes down to work or to being serious, Nadesico becomes what is needed. She is proper, serious, and calculating in addition to being meticulous. Her interest in culture and learning, particularly dancing and entertainment, greatly complements this, which helped her greatly in her life.

First Impressions:
People rarely get a first impression of Nadesico. Those that don't die immediately after seeing her would be overwhelmed by an aura of power and heat. Most people would feel weak at their knees and unable to even move their eyes, so fixated on the Daos. But those that are able to get by the fear and pressure would see that she appears to be an elegant, proper and traditional woman as dictated by her kimono and graceful movements, a noble or royal, but definitely something beyond a meager human

Weapons:
Nadesico holds three weapons, all which are tessens (iron fans). Here is an example picture of a tessen.

Tenken and Haken: Her main weapons are her pair of tessen which is lengthed at 50 cms. Despite being called an Iron Fan, it is not made of iron, but of a mystical metal, which makes it extremely durable, and chip and rip resistant. They are called Tenkenhttp://www.japanya.co.uk/img/ProductPic/0510004.jpg and Haken, with Haken having Tenken's colours reversed with blue letters and golden base. Both a have tassel of their predominant colour hanging from the base, with Tenken having dark navy blue and Haken having gold. When shut, the physical and magic effects do not lessen. These fans are holy items from old Kitsunari Ancestors from aeons ago.
​
Himari: Himari is Nadesico's giant war fan. Due to its size, it is sealed in a large scroll that hangs at the back of her waist ( very similar to Jiraiya's or tenten's) and is summoned when needed. When out, it stands at 1.7 meters tall. On it is a floral sakura tree blooming artwork. It is summoned via inscribing the Kitsune Kanji on the scroll while conveying Fox energy into her fingers while drawing it. This floral patterns enable Nadeisco to control innumerous sakura petals in battle when it is out and open. Their movements can follow the movements of the fan or her hands. The skills that are used with this will be explained in abilities. Himari is another family heirloom from the families fox ancestors. It is highly prized item amongst magical artifacts in the world.
​

Fighting Style:
Nadesico fights with tessenjutsu, a fighting style which uses the metal folding fan. However, her style incorporates the geisha and dancing arts, which makes it seem more like a dance than actual martial arts, despite being deadly. Fitting to her looks, when fought, her moves have grace and smoothness, dominated mostly with wide arc movments, which makes it appear to be really weak. However, using the centrifugal forces when swinging the weighted fan plus her supernatural strength, Nadesico is quite capable of causing tremendous blunt force damage. It is closely linked to aikido and judo in it that it aims to disarm or old opponents in place mostly. In addition, her style is focused for females, in which it has a heavy emphasis on dodging and countering. Many of the moves allow the user to dodge into a perfect position to land a critical blow in the opening created from the dodge and the missed strike.

Abilities/Magic:
Her main ability is transforming between her fox and human form. She has three stages, full (combat and normal), half and human.
Full normal fox form: Her normal fox form has her abilities more opened, but still limited. Her petals and her fire can be controlled with much more ease and used more readily and quickly. Her petals can be controlled telenetically, but the size and area has not changed. She can wield her weapons by holding them in her mouth and her nine tails.

She appears completely blonde with no blemishes. Her snout is long and elegant and her looks reflects herself nature in a high and noble manner. Around her neck is a nice slick plume of white fur, similar to a lion's mane. Along her flank and her body, her fur is ivory before going up her nine tails. The tips of each tail is white though. Her eyes are ruby red and she also has a nice mop of fur on her head. Tied slanted on her head (unobstructed view) is a white kitsune mask with red markings. The markings and the mask is an inhibitor and a seal for her full fledged fox power. She is the size of a tiger in this form
​
Full combat fox form: In her full fox form, she is able to control all her abilities and skills with ease and increased efficiency, with her petal powers increasing to being able to control freely a large area through her mind. Her fox fire becomes much more intense and overpowered with more reach, speed and heat.

Her form appears very similar to her normal fox form. However, her mask disappears and becomes swirling red markings on her face and along her body (as seen in image). Also, her eyes become pure white and narrow. She still retains a rather elegant and noble look, however, she looks more firm, muscular and taunt, more aggressive and powerful than her more leaner and easy going normal form. In this form, she is easily the size of a horse.

Half: This is on of the more common form she is in. In this form, her ears are out and along with her hair, she has a single, white fluffy tail that could just be seen poking out from her kimono andher teeth are more pointy. This is the halfway stage for Nadesico and is her default mode

Human: As its name implies, this is when Nadesico has little to no distinctive features that marks her as a Kistunari. She appears every bit the human

​
Nadesico has an affiliation with Nature and Fire, having mastery over a large range of fire spells and abilities, from those on one to one scale, to warfield domination and country wipers. She is also able to control and create petals to be used for offensive and defensive skills and magic as well as special effects. Most notable of these is when she appears in human realm where a flurry of sakura petals swirl around where she would appear before she apparates into the realm.

History:

So a few things concerning the game:

Since the game actually takes much much longer than the Rp does I figured I'd kind of expand on the party doing side quests and since these particular quests concern your characters I'd like to consult with you on it:

Mary - The Opera House

Well in a moment during the story which was added in for the game to have more content the party has to assassinate the royal of a kingdom and to do so they meet with people who work undercover with rebels and Mary is voted to carry out the deed. During this part of the story Mary goes undercover as an actress working at the theater. With the player playing as just her she meets many actors(most drunk), changes into costumes, and has a minigame where she has to recite her lines within the play(kind of FF6 opera house style without the singing). In the opera's second act beginning she does this mini game and at the end proceeds to shoot an arrow to assassinate the Thelma- unknowing that she will meet a boss battle. On the stage, though the stage map isn't made yet:

Akira - Champion's Arena

For this extra event of the story the party hears that the Thelma king will have a personal greeting with the winner of a certain tournament. The party attends the tournament hoping to assassinate the King and Queen until Akira is mistaken for a missing tournament entry. It is here she will be taken to the locker rooms(where small surprising events can happen in either), and will have to participate in a 4 round tournament. Here she is faced with a solo boss battle and after she wins she will be the one to have to assassinate the Royal Thelma's where there will be no boss battle. Only the lobby of the arena has been made so far:

Rune - The invasion

This is basically the event dealing with her moment to shine during the RP, only she isn't in the main party at the time. Her story, much like the rp runs parallel to the party's and anyone else with separate posts only she's controllable. Her gameplay is pretty different from the other parts of the game until she joins the party. She controls soldiers/Bithians and orders them in groups to attack guards, etc when taking over a Thelma city of her own. She also does not fight her own battles as she's in charge of 4 soldiers who do it for her. It's harder to explain but it's wicked to see and play in my opinion! I don't have maps for her yet though :sad3:

And Remus and Reyu have become optional additions to the main party but Remus' character gets developed in the story and he joins the party later after these mini episodes happen so I didn't do a sidequest for him. Re guarding Squee's character I've kept the name but changed the character type. He still helps Rune anyways ^^

Since I've been learning how to sprite I really don't have to rely on sprite generators, etc to get sprites for the characters and I've been able to learn a great deal. As it turns out I'm getting pretty nice at spriting clothing on characters but hair is trouble for me so it looks like the sprites will be bald for a while xD

-1st attempt Laleth

I only have 2 sprites done so far and as I said some colors on the characters will be altered just a tiny bit but to keep yours I'm mostly changing the colors of the characters I created so you guys don't have your characters altered any more than they need to be. I have to say I'm really enjoying working on this game :hmmm:

Seeing as this Rp is going fast the game has a lot more content and more explanation to the world and characters etc. I'll often ask you guys about your characters later one once I start working on the mechanics of the game. o.o
 
i demand voice acting. Where are the voices in the GAME!?

But seriously, thats awesome. I'm fine with it.
 
Tipsy: Wow, jeez...the way that was, I almost thought you were just as bad as my brother. <_<

But in all seriousness, I like the idea of the FF6 styled opera scene turned assassination attempt. You've really outdid yourself this time. I give this my official Noble seal of approval.
 
lol. i was jking around XD.

Honestly, this much is alreacdy damn near god like in my books. i wonder how long this whole game will be like? i am itching to have a go
 
Same here. I'm getting more impressed with your ability to stay focused on making the game even with all the role plays you're running and your life. Take your time... Even though we can't wait.
 
*C and P from EF*


Yo, guys. I thought id sayu it outright since it hasnt gotten better but it seems like ill be a bit busy in the next week.

I was busy last week too, but i thought i could still squeeze in post. Apparently not. Things are a bit more died down so i MIGHT be able to post, but they'll be short. Just letting you guys have a heads up.
 
I got around to making a map of Agia's terrain thanks to a tutorial on making fantasy maps I found. I'm actually proud of my work and may use this map in the game or something. :hmmm: Might put in towns, etc. later on. As for now it's time to put in some winter posts here.

Agianaturemap.png
\
The terrain's been a bit edited but I think it works nicely. Maybe if I can create some towns it'll be finished for real. Also had one of the planet I forgot to put out there.
AgiaWorld.png


Also the game's been making better progress. As time goes on I'm finding myself to be less of a noob at the whole rmvx thing. This game has a lot of custom graphic artwork since my specialties don't really lie in programming. With that said hopefully I'll be able to leave players with eyecandy but of course a bit of diverse gameplay couldn't hurt :3.

So since Tisy's posted I'll post now and when Monarch becomes available again I'm hoping to get a post update as well. There's an option to split this Rp in half so I think i'll just do that and finish up the "first half" as it is now and restart a brief sequel that will wrap things up completely.

Edit: I'm still making the sprites of everyone. I got some finished that I am satisfied with. and some that need to be edited.

Also I'm thinking of giving Mary's color scheme a bit of a seagreen/blue, having Akira's color scheme be more of a white and red color, and Rune having a gray tone. I'm trying to get more diversity in appearance of the characters. Color schemes help a lot and always has influence when it comes to characters and telling a story. In this rp everyone's wearing dark colors so I had to brighten up a few of the NPCs and my two main characters a bit. If you all have other suggestions for your character's colors tell me. I'm working on Mary's sprite first and then Akira's and Rune's.

Again thanks for being involved with this Roleplay! ^^

Looks like I'm comming back to this RP with Saethos. Also, with permission of Josh I have changed an ability entirely.
Card of fate. The blank card that he has is held up to his forehead. An image appears on the front of the card showing either a gray field, a flame, a water drop, a tornado, or clumps of earth. 50% gray field which causes nothing, equal chance for other images. For 2 minutes he can use the card only once for the next 5 minutes. Other images he is able to cast a spell of the element shown, but the effect is hard to control.
Click to expand...
 
Update: I've sent a PM to monarch concerning my return a week ago but have yet to hear back, if I have not heard back within the end of this week I'll be going in without discussion in a way that I can figure would work out
 
I'm back! But I won't be so active for the time being... But definitely more than enough for the pace of this role play.

So I've posted for now. As to Saethos... Honestly, all I can remember is the fact that the two met when someone stole something from Rune... I've forgotten their subsequent encounters after that. I guess I'll need more re-reading. For now, Rune is in the city where the others are, causing trouble of her own.

I suppose in my next post, she should be really trying to find the others - since my past few posts were mainly about her causing the distractions and maneuvering about a panicking crowd.
