Liberation: Sign-up and Discussion

[Gaige]

That's right, another RP from me.

Many years ago, in Jalaria Suburbs, darkness shrouded from the surrounding woods and engulfed the suburbs. Those who went in didn't come out, and were never seen again. The suburbs were lost in time, gone to the swirling mists within that surrounded and defined the forest, forever swirling through as a perpetual purple gas.

Within the suburbs, the people were locked i time, unable to age or evolve, unable to leave the boundaries of the suburbs without being killed by the creatures that lurk within. The reason that they so callously destroy those who transgress their territory is unknown.

Now, those inside Jalaria Suburbs are falling victim to horrific attacks from dark creatures lurking in the woods, ruled by a mysterious woman deep within. Any who stay outside after darkness falls are brutally killed or dragged into the woods. And now the creatures are venturing into the light. They are becoming stronger, braver, and more intelligent.

The elders of this town, led by the woman Rose, have decided they need to lead the town into safety, as the creatures have begun knocking and scratching at doors, and are becoming gradually more violent.

And there is only one way out.

Through the woods.

[Fabletear]

Name: Axel Kage

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'8 weighing around 157 lbs. Jet black spiked hair with red on the tips of the spikes, eyes are a moonlight blue, wears black pants with red X's going down the sides of the legs from top to bottom, a white shirt and a leather vest over the shirt. Has a scar going across his left eye from the eyebrow to mid-cheek. Wears gloves that are cut off at the knuckles of the fingers.
Personality: Axel's personality is one of those that would help others before he helped himself. Basically, his personality is of a gental nature, but if you get him angry, he would go into a rage that would be hard to get him out of.

Weapons/Abilities: Axel fights with his fists if its just a fight to injure someone, if its to fight to the death, he fights with his sword, the Angelic Cross of the Fallen.

History: Axel has grown up defending others and to show no remorse for those who would ever hit a women. Axel grew up in a village outside of the Forest of the Shadows. When he was only seven years old, his parents fell victim to the shadow creatures. During the attack, his father told him and his mother to run and hide. Run and hide they did, but the beasts still found them. His mother started to fight the creatures off and as she fell all but one, more of the creatures arrived. One by one the creatures fell, but so did she. As he watched his mother slowly die, Axel filled with a rage that gave him power to strike down the beasts. As he felled the last of them, he started to lose conscience. The last thing that he saw were villagers coming to get him. After the attack, Axel entered a deep state of depression and grief that lasted for the next six months, untill he met Cassiel. Cassiel, only ninteen at the time, took Axel in and told him that she would take care of him until the day came where he would want to leave. Upon taking him in, Cassiel tought him how to control his rage and also tought him magic that would help him be able to defend others and some that would help attack. To Axel, Cassiel was also his first real friend.

Strengths: Still thinking.

Weaknesses: Still thinking.

Can I take two spots? I want to make a sister for Arukab and use the two, since you already know Arukab

 

[Gaige]

Sure you can. Feel free.

 

[Captain Squee]

May as well get Arukab out of the way

Name – Arukab Tashira Tragide

Title – Silver Phantom (His abilities gave him this title)

Alignment – Lawful neutral

Race – Human

Gender – Male

Age – about 230 but appears to be in mid 50's (see history and weapon)

Appearance – Long black hair down to his mid back, his bangs cover his forehead. his eyes are blood red and he has relatively pale skin however he still maintains that normal peach color. he has no visible scars, however there are many hidden by his clothing attire. H wears a long sleeve full length trench coat made from genuine black leather. under his coat is a silk and cotton made dark gray shirt. he wears loose black denim jeans that need a belt to hold them up. his belt is leather w/ silver rings in it and has a silver belt buckle resembling a tarantula. His footwear is boots that reach just below his knees and have silver plates over the toe and heel parts, effective when kicking opponents. all up those boots are straps that also have silver buckles. on his shoulders he wears very thick, but due to his power not too heavy, spiky silver shoulder plates. he has a pair of white gloves that he always wears despite all his black and as i already specified, he does not carry his gunblade around unless in combat.


Personality – Only speaking when spoken too, Arukab does not attempt to start conversation most of the time, but when spoken to, he responds politely and continues the conversation kindly. He is a good soul trapped in a dark shell, and very proud of who he is. He bows his steel to no man, nation, or legion. A decision Arukab made years ago leads him to defend who he feels need defending, and punishing the ones he dubs as wrong. He does have a good sense of morality to go with that, sided with great mind for justice, punishing bad with bad (eye for an eye style). He would NEVER intentionally hurt someone that he deemed as innocent under any circumstances given.
He keeps his emotions generally stable, and he is a difficult one to anger, because he is a patient man with a high tolerance. His stable mindset makes him a great strategist and a good thinker. He is a very smart one to befriend.
Arukab likes to relax every so often and have some alcohol, but he never drinks enough to get himself drunk.
Arukab has a big thing with children. He will protect a child before a man, and he will never give up to save said child from any harm.

First Impression – With Arukab's dark appearance, someone may startle when approaching him, but his eyes and face never give anyone reason to back away. He has a warming and innocent, slightly pained look in his eyes, and his smile is gentle. Asking his name will lead to the question of his own, "What would this mean to you?" and the odds are he will not tell his true name unless he knows you are trustable. Other than that, he is very kind to any whom approach him.
Also, he looks like someone who has seen many battlefields with sad endings.

Strength – So lets say Arukab was bench-pressing, at most he would be able to bench 10 reps of 160 pounds before needing to rest. Punching a solid brick at max power would crack the brick in half, but nothing too bad as to comparison of some warriors he has met.

Speed – At top speed after a good build up, Arukab can run at approx. 30 kph (about 18 mph). However his start off running speed is not great at all, he has to build up speed to go fast at all, and he is not much for running. He can run at this speed for about ten minutes, but if jogging he could run for about 15 before needing a break.

Endurance – Arukab has a tough exterior, he can easily take a hit and keep walking. However he must avoid being cut, because he is sensitive underneath his skin. Putting any pressure on any wound would make Arukab feel strong pain. His magic defenses are very low. He cannot stand very well against a mage unless he uses his silver abilities to shield himself, but if you hit him in the soul or body with a weak low level spell, he feels as though he is hit hard.

Reflexes – When hearing a single step behind him, he will draw his blade and get ready for defense. He knows better than to try an attack because his reaction timing with attacks is delayed a little, so it could be fatal. Just because he prepares for the attack does not mean he will defend it, He only will be prepared. He would have to have a .5 second notice to actually defend himself properly. That could sometimes be fatal, so he likes to fight with one he can trust to watch his back. When defending against projectiles, he often has enough time to be able to dodge successfully, but sometimes gets scraped in the process. He will always have time tp parry if it is an attack coming from in front of him. But if the attack has already been launched, he may only be able to pull a quick motion out of the way.

Fighting Style – with hand to hand combat he is more of a kicker, thus the steel toed boots. he often makes his boots heavy to be able to throw more weight for more impact. However he only does so in mid combat so that when running he feels as though there is nothing there. His magic allows him to make the steel on his boots lighter if the situation calls for it. w/ his gunblade he changes it up. he constantly changes his weapons weight, heavy for power, light for speed, etc., ect.. (see magic section)

Weapons – Arukab uses a silver gunblade dubbed as the "soul shot". It's gun handle is that of a SIG-sauer P225 Pistol (linked) However it has silver plating on the sides of the handle. The trigger is silver, but the area around it is black. The weapon Gives the user a virtual immortality. Virtual meaning they can die, but they do not age, nor will they die by disease or by poison/venom. For the wielder to die they must die of cuts, blood loss, internal bleeding, high amp shocks, etc. I'm sure my point is proven.
The blade on the gunblade is made of solid silver, as stated above. The blade is approxamately 15 inches in length and 4 inches deceasing from the handle in width. There is an area near the middle of the blade that dips down about 5 inches from the top of it, but retreats back up and continues to narrow.

Abilities – The ability in his weapon is an ability I suppose. But I will elaborate more in this section.

If Arukab is to lose the gunblade held in his hand, he will be the same age as he was when he held it, as it simply stops aging, not pauses it. The gunblade also prevents any poisons from gettin inside his cells, so if a poison is injested he will not be effected, but if the gunblade is lost while poison is in the blood, he will start to get affected. Same goes for venoms.

GIFT OF PEGOS, THE BLACK SILVER PEGASUS: Arukab was gifted by Pegos (see history for more). This allows him to grow silver out of his bones, making silver attachments rip out of his skin. The silver grows into whatever shape he so desires. The silver is created from the spiritual energy that Arukab houses, so there are limits and defects. One defect is that when he makes silver, it uses a 1[silver] : 1.5[energy] ratio. His magic also runs on this energy, but does not use it up, so when he uses his silver, it takes away from the effectiveness of his magic, causing it to be less potent. Also, the most silver he can use before having used up all his energy is enough to cover his entire body in 2 inch diamater 5 inch length spikes, however he rarely uses that much silver. When the silver is created, that spiritual energy is used and cannot be made into more silver, it is set so that energy is used until the silver is to return to the body. When one piece of silver is to return to the body, it turns back into spiritual energy, and is able to be used again instantly, as long as he does not keep it out. When one piece grows out it is not set out permanantly and can retreat it while keeping other pieces of the silver out, and even possible to retreat one piece while growing another, as if the energy is being transferred to a new location. He can constantly make the silver until he has reached the limit. However, there is a side effect to using his energy to make the silver. His ability to control the weight will decrease with the more energy being used, so the more silver he has out, the heavier it gets in relation to mass.
╚LIMIT: Argentum Barage: his ratio to making silver is changed to 7[silver]: 1[energy] for less than one second. He uses this split second to make large silver spikes grow out from everywhere in his body, however it then instantly retreats, so its uses are only good when he is surrounded by several weak enemys. It is not very useful against smart or strong enemys.
╚LIMIT: Silver Phantom: This ability lasts for about 3 minutes before he reverts back to normal. He grows silver horns and silver wings that expand widely and long enough to cover his whole body. The wings cannot fly, as they are far to heavy, and he can hardly jump. His running is even slowed massively. The wings are feathered and he can shoot the silver feathers out of the wings, at the sacrifice of the proportional amount of energy taken to make that feather.The feathers are razor sharp, capable of cutting very easily. They can rip through surface flesh quite easily, meaning if it scrapes the side of one's body, the skin will be cut. But if it hit's one in the center, of any muscular area, the tip of the feather (about 1- 1.5 inches) is all that would go inside the one being hit. The feather size vary by feather, but generally range about 4 inches to 10 inches.

Metallic Manipulation: His magic involves anything combat related as long as it is made from metal. this is a rare magic that few can master in one lifetime. He can change the weight of any metal things in his possession, making armor lighter etc. etc.. W/ his abilities he can make his gunblade dissapear or vanish, however the weapon may not be in his hands at the time it is in fact in his possession. nothing too flashy. He must be either be directly touching the silver, or indirectly. This means either his skin must be touching it, or it must be connected to something that is in contact to his skin.

History – Arukab was born as the only son of Nakiti Tragide. He never got to know his mother, as she died at birth. Nakiti was a noble man, but he was far to loyal to the nation. His father always did as he was told. He never did anything wrong in doing this though, as he was still loyal to his moral. Watching his father, he learned about such nobility and morality. Picking this up, Arukab became a good and nice child, but always dressing in black and metal garb for some unkown reason. This made some worry for his mental state, but it was eventually clear that it was only how he dressed, and had no reflection on his mentality.
As he aged, Arukab began to have great respect for the children of his home, always working on something or playing amongst eachother. At this point he was an early teen, gaining a new respect for the world. School was average, he was smart, and generally got good grades. Of course, he had his hardships. Girls came and went, friends faught amongst eachother, but nothing emotionally traumatizing
In his late teens, he began to gain a total new respect for the entire world. It was a place that was brutalized by evil, and the ones trying to help were always shut down. The he had a dream that would change his life forever. In his dream he was cast in a stone land, full of nothing. There was no sky, no mountains, just stone plains forever. There stood a winged pegasus who said his name was Pegos. he had feathered wings, a silver horn, red eyes, and silver hooves. The Pegasus told Arukab about how he was giving him a gift. His bone marrow would be made of silver from this day on, and a silver gunblade appeared in his hand. It explained that the weilder of the gunblade was only to die of bloodshed. Pegos told him to fight off anyone that he saw as bad, and to protect the ones his eyes dubbed as good. The rest he would have to learn on his own.
The morning afterwards, he awoke with the same gunblade in hand, and a peice of shoulder armor lay next to him. He felt as though he had to wear this armor, and in putting it on, he accepted his destiny. He then left out for the world, but he did not weild his gunblade that was given to him, because he did not want to wear out such a precious weapon.
Around the age of 53, he discovered that the gunblade given by Pegos would stop aging as well, as he heard it from a prophet of the sorts. Taking this into consideration, he began to weild the gunblade, and doing as pegos told him, he fought the bad and defended the good for many years to this day...
