Diablo Roleplay [Open, Started]

[Terratina.]

@AshenTail: Just wondering, what size group are you looking for in this RP? 2-4? Or Loads and Loads Of Characters?

Just a few minor changes -

Updated Sheet:

Spoiler: Ada Sydd

Name: Ada Sydd

Age & Gender: 21, Female

Class: Demon Hunter

Appearance: With the trademark hood and cape of a Demon Hunter, it is hard to discern her features. She stands at 5'6" and slim, yet curvaceous at 120 pounds. Peel her hood away you will stuck by the scar that lies below her left eye and continues down her cheek where hellfire licked her face. Other than that, plain brown eyes and brown hair.

Personality: Ada is bound to duty against the demons that destroyed her home and her family. She hates it when villagers of other demon-ravaged settlements reward her for her kills since it makes Ada feel like a vulture on those poor people. Made an orphan at the tender age of 8, she is highly independent. However her training as a Demon Hunter made her mature before her time and because of this, she has grown jaded and cynical. Still suffers from Survivor's Guilt and largely tries to make up for the fact that she didn't save her parent's lives when the demons attacked.

Inventory: Her two hand crossbows called Salvation and Damnation, given to her by her Order, quivers of bolts for said crossbows, leather armour, cloak with the symbol of her Demon Hunter order (a crimson hawk.) and matching hood and knives. She also have a few rations, a flagon of water and a sleeping bag for her basic needs.

Fighting style: She mostly relies on her two hand crossbows to do the job but uses the knives as a backup. Ada also knows how to use traps and set up a mechanical turret that fires arrows, but rarely has the resources for that when she is fighting demons. In terms of her crossbow technique, she uses a few big, powerful shots compared to some Demon Hunters opting to use many, weaker but more numerous shots. This arises from the fact that ammo costs gold, and why wast vast amounts of ammo when the job can be done in one shot? When reloading, she uses the dark mists to conceal herself. Aya tries to keep her enemies as far away from her at possible, she isn't really cut out for melee combat and often just throws a couple of knives to the face and runs when those situations arise.

Background: She was there, at the age of 8, when Tristram burned for the first time. All was engulfed in hell-fire, her family, her friends, her home - all gone. All Ada remembers of that fateful night are the screams of her parents, everyone around her being butchered by hellspawn and waking up, in the middle of ash and corpses tracing the burn on her cheek. Without help, Ada wouldn't have survived past that day, luckily a Demon Hunter found her and took her to The Borderlands. To kindle the anger inside her and to teach her the ways of the Demon Hunter. Decades passed as training sessions blurred into each other until her training was complete. Ada had found her strength in crossbows and the shadows, but lacked the patience to master traps and turrets. She was summoned and told that she was ready:

"We are the survivors, and we are searching for vengeance. Go now, and bring vengeance to the hellspawn that infest this land."

She took those words to heart and travelled the land, killing any demon she came across and she came across many for she was following their hoove prints far and wide.

Special skill: Tracking Demons (can tell what type, how recent the tracks are, etc.)

 

[Redryhno]

Spoiler: Updated Tyris Sedair

Name: Tyris Sedair

Age & Gender: 34

Class: Assassin

Appearance:beyond him being around 6 feet and less than a 150 lbs, dark is all that could really describe him, skin,eyes, and hair of the darkest satin and a cloak covering most of his body, his forehead shines with the light of an enchanted jewel with his emotions when he concentrates, otherwise it looks to simply be an extension of his head.

Personality: fully dedicated to the cause of hunting demons and especially demon-summoning magic-users, Tyris is a quiet one, mostly due to the fact that he's a mute.

Inventory: a plethora of quick traps, rope,poisons,an enchanted cloak, a dark side to blend in with the shadows, and a light side that shines, and two enchanted weapons, his scissor quatars, both made to pierce magical defenses.He also carries a half-dozen normal throwing daggers on his person as well, should his other weapons fail.

Fighting style: Tyris prefers to stick to the shadows, timing his strikes with precision and lethality. If he's forced to fight a group, then he will first make a trap and then draw the survivors of his first attack into the trap.

Background: Born a mute, and always a mute, Tyris studied the ways of the Assassin early in life and learned first-hand how dangerous both mad Wizards and Demons were as he watched them tear apart a village from a nearby ridge. They were eventually defeated, but not before they had leveled it and killed many of his "family". His hatred of demons and especially anyone that dares to summon them is beyond the norm, enough so that he sees any magic-user as a potential threat and often has a way to spell their demise should they turn to the vilest of magics.

Special skill: Demonologist - knows the tell-tale signs of demon summoning mages and demons in general.

 

[Floris2123]

Spoiler: Updated Lucius Syphon

Name: Lucius Syphon

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Class: Necromancer

Appearance: Lucius is a kind of tall (6'2) and thin (140lbs). His skin is really white just like his hair. His eyes are dark brown. If you look into his eyes long enough you begin to feel uneasy. He wears an armor made out of dark magic and the bones of multiple creatures and people. Along with the armor is a black cape that helps protect from magic. He also uses the staff of his master which used to be an demon staff before it was re forged. He also wears an big backpack filled with books and potions and alchemical ingredients. He also has an strange tattoo on his body that covers his entire chest which he uses for his strongest spell.

Spoiler: Lucius

Made by EvilMufasa

Spoiler: staff

Only then with black magic instead of red.

Spoiler: Tattoo

Personality: Lucius is cold and very intelligent. He doesn't care much for conversation unless he could learn something from the conversation. Or the conversation is with someone who is just as intelligent or strong as him. He likes talking to other magic users. He hates demons. He hasn't seen much of the world but he has read allot about it. He searches the world for power and immortality. He hates paladins because his encounters with them so far have always ended badly.

Inventory: His master staff. His dark armor. His magic resistant cape. A backpack. A few magic books. And allot of alchemic and magical ingredients. And also some bones. And a strong magic infused ceremonial dagger. He also wears some money with him that used to belong to his master he hides it in one of the bones in his bag. He also wears an cursed ring which strengthens his necromancy. And rations for a few days. As well as allot of flasks with potions and also a few empty ones.

Fighting style: He usually fights by summoning the dead to fight for him. He uses an arsenal of spells to kill his foes from a distance. And also posses allot of spells to defend himself. And also spells strengthen his creations. He doesn't know much about hand to hand combat or fighting with melee weapons. He can use his dagger as a last resort with that he is quite handy but that is about it.

Background: 25 years ago a necromancer traveled from village to village looking for children with magic. He needed a pupil and wanted one he could mold into whatever he wanted.
He found a caravan that was looted by bandits. However looking through it he could still sense 2 people. He found a dying man with a baby in his hands. He offered to take the baby with him recognizing his magic potential. The man accepted knowing the only alternative was death by starvation or some wild animal. The necromancer took the child with him to the marches raising him as an necromancer. He called him Lucius.

The child was extremely skilled in magic and very intelligent. He began to see him more and more as his own son. He taught him to be completely devoid from emotions. And value power and knowledge above all else. He taught him everything he knew. He was also really good in alchemy finding it very interesting he practiced allot.

The other necromancers where weary of Lucius he was different somehow he even scared them. Then something happened what forever changed there opinion off him. He was out in the woods exploring with another young necromancer when they ran into some wolfs. Lucius easily killed a few of them with his spells the other student however wasn't so luck bleeding out on the ground he pleaded for help. Lucius however just watched him die looking fascinated at how everything went. After the other pupil died he revived him then walked back to the other necromancers.

They master of the dead pupil couldn't believe his eyes and neither could the other necromancers. There are very few taboo's when it comes to necromancy. However one of them is raising another necromancer. But Lucius didn't seem to care. After that incident he was shunned by the other necromancers. His master was however very proud and kept learning him more foul magic even for necromancy his magic pushed all the boundaries. He practiced with his undead giving them traps and other horrible things to disgust his opponent. His master did learn him some conversation skills but he is still bad with other people.

His master tried a very dangerous spell that bound the dark armor to Lucius.
He can't take it off but can make it less visible. He can repair his armor with the dark magic that he posses.

His master was killed by the demons 3 months ago. Lucius feels little emotion but this he did feel sadden that the only person he understood and who understood him died. After that he left his home land and began searching for more power as well as any demon he could kill on the way. His dream is to one day be immortal.

He still caries his fallen comrade with him. He calls him Alex and always carries him with him in his bag.
He turned him into his personal bodyguard. Feeding him with special magic that strengthens him.

Spoiler: Alex

Special skill: Alchemy - Making potion's herbal knowledge

Probably about 6-8, though I don't mind.

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

Spoiler: Character Sheet

Name: Nerys Swiftwolf

Age 19

Gender: Female

Class: Druid

Appearance: Nerys has dark black hair and grey eyes. From spending many years in the wilds of sanctuary and having to survive on the supplies her tribe can find her skin is darkly tanned and she has a slight but wiry build standing at 5?7?. She wears a dark cloak made from raven and crow feather, under that she wears the traditional light furs of her tribe. The helm she was given by her parents was made from the pelt of a large black furred wolf matching her cloak.

Personality: Having lived the nomadic life of a druid, Nerys has seen a lot of the world but always get excited discovering new places, as it gives her a chance to communicate with animals she has never encountered before. However because of how closed her tribe is she hasn?t meet many people who aren?t druids and don?t understand her bond with nature and can be socially awkward when speaking with outsiders. Also she has a deep-seated hate of necromancers, bested only by her hate of demons, as she believes that their dark magics disrupt the natural cycle of life,

Inventory: Living a nomadic life Nerys has always travelled light, she carries with her the clothes on her back, some furs to sleep in and a pole arm she uses to defend herself when fighting in human form. Having survived in the for so long she has little need for gold, and only carries the meagre amount of 50 gold for emergencies.
Fighting style: When fighting against few foes Nerys will often summon her wolves and fight in her human form with her pole arm dealing swift and deadly blows combined with nature magic. However when faced with many foes she will shift into her were-bear form and attack with her sharp claws in tandem with her summoned wolves. When she?s not in battle she can summon a raven to scout ahead and uncover hidden dangers.

Background: Nerys spent most of her life away from many of the settlements that are scattered around the world of Sanctuary travelling with her tribe. However before Tristram fell she was sent on a quest by the tribal leaders to further her powers as a druid. During this time she expanded her nature magic learning how to summon vines, conjure firestorms and destructive cyclones.
When she returned she found that many members of the tribe had died while trying to defend Tristram from the demonic hoards emanating from hell. And those that had survived had gone out, searching for the other tribes to warn them of the incoming threat that faced the world.
She now wishes to avenge her fallen tribesmen and make up for not being there when they needed her.

Special skill: Shapeshifting.

 

[AshenTail]

-snip-

Great work. You can have another special skill other than shape-shifting as that's class specific. If you don't want one then all good.

Everyone, I'll be watching the thread for two or so days for any new applications, then I'll start it up. Thanks for your patience!

 

[HellsingerAngel]

I left our the Rogues and Sorcerers as I feel they've been integrated into entire or a few classes. You may add a sufficient backstory to one of the classes involving that though? I apologise for being the imagination police.

This is true. Rogues are a traitor sect of Amazons and Wizards are similar to Sorcerers. The difference is simply in their lore.

Anyway, here's my contribution. Sorry for being so late.

Spoiler: Wukun

Name: Wukun

Age & Gender: Male, 16

Class: Monk

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 115 lbs.
Appearance: Wukun is a wiry young man, buil solid from a lifetime dedicated to training. His short brown hair is an oddity with bushy sideburns going down to his jawline. His wide brown eyes are always scanning his surroundings with facination. His clothing is simple, a yellow wrapping covering coming up from his waist and across his chest with a large orange sash to tie it off. His pants are similarly coloured with a pair of banded sandals to cover his feet. Of note is his lack of tattoos, his lightly tanned skin remaining untouched with the vision of the one thousand and one. Lastly, Wu carries a large wooden staff, orantely engraved with two entwined dragons ending with a golden dragon's head at each end.

Personality: Wu is a playful and energetic individual. He loves being mischievous, though never at the expense of others. Some would consider this a weakness, pointing towards a lack of dedication and inability to take things seriously, however it couldn't be farther from the truth. His work ethic is impecable after a lifetime of dedication towards the teachings of the monestary. If balance is the goal of every monk of Ivgorod, he's struck a perfect balance between work and play.

As with any young man, Wu has a fierce pride in what he does. This manifests itself in a need to demonstrate his knowledge and skills, searching for approval from those he knows. This goes as far as a quirk of his that makes him search for the "balance" for everyone he knows. He often studies people and tries to find what they lack in their lives and help them find their balance, whether it be an activity, an answer, an explaination or a person. It's obvious that Wu can be quite naive, though what boy isn't?

Inventory: His clothes, his staff, a leather satchel, tattooing needle and ink.

Fighting style: Wukun has a very acrobatic and mobile fighting style. It's based upon three principals: dodging, feinting and striking from opportunistic angles. Favouring techniques like the Seven Sided Strike, Tempest Rush and Way of the Hudnred Fists, he strikes fast, often and from various and odd angles to take advantage of breaks in his opponent's guard. This becomes even more prominent when using his staff, often using it to gain a height advantage or balance upon to attack from confusing angles rather than to directly strike with.

Background: Wukun's life has been a sheltered one. His entire life has been within the walls of the Floating Sky Monestary. As a young boy, he was picked out as an individual for his talent and unorthodox style of fighting. He continued his training under the exclusive tutelage of Master Xuan, his innocent and playful spirit being nutured rather than dashed.

Soon enough, Wukun began to have strange dreams of demons rising up from Hell to dominate Sanctuary. Confronting his master, he recounted his visions to hopefully gain some insight. Master Xuan summized that it was a divination of the future, a warning of what was to come. The dreams continued for months on end before the answer was presented to the young man, Tyrael himself coming to him in his last vision as a summons to Tristram.

The patriarchs and masters of the monestary immediately convened to discuss the orders. It was a polarizing meeting, many believing Wu to be too young and inexperienced to undertake such a burden. However, the archangel was not to be ignored or defied. Finally Master Xuan spoke, "Wukun shall be our vanguard. We shall prepare ourselves as he travels to save Sanctuary. He shall learn, or he shall die."

And so began his journey to the West. To Tristram...

Special skill: Wu has an enhanced equilibrioception. He excels at tumbling and acrobatics, being able to keep proper awareness and balance in any position.
