Tales of the Soul OOC ( )

Postby BSX on Thu May 15, 2008 1:27 pm

*Kudos to fighter_rose_003 for her help*

Set 300 years before the events of the Soul series the two great blades, soul edge and soul caliber, were in a epic battle for the fate of the world. Time stood still to see which blade would be the victor, the demon sword was triumphant. The sword of light was strangely unable to equal the power of the of its dark copy and was shattered into pieces. The world then fell into darkness, an omit cloud of ash fell and the power of the blade seem to go stronger each day. Rumors began to spread that the shards of the light sword were being used to heal the sick and to ward of evil spirits and demons. The wielder of Soul Edge set out to eliminate those who has possession of the shards causing a wave of panic, death, destruction where ever they went. Only a few warriors had the ability to rise to the challenge of finding another sword of light and defeating the dark blade. The stage is set! Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold.

Soul of a:
Appearance:
Character Bio:
Weapon type:
Weapon Style: *Weapons can be standard which have a balance of strength, defense, and durability. An advanced weapons has 1 positive ability like speed, or strength BUT also has 1 negative ability like causing fatigue or slow down. Standard weapons will not have any special properties.
Weapon name (Optional):
Weapon Bio (Optional):

Positive abilities:* Can not be the same as Class Strength (S)
Strengthen- power
Defense- how well the fighter and counter and reflect attacks
Speed- how quick the fighter can react
Heal- stamina and dexterity
Light- weapons weight, making it easy to move and evade
Technique - control of the basics I.e. footwork, timing, accuracy
Drain(+): Ability to wear down opponents

Negative abilities:*Can not be the same as Class Weakness (W)
Fatigue- strikes lose power
Fragile- defense is lacking, allowing openings for enemy
Slow-down- slow reaction time
Weight- armor or weapons is heavy
No control - lacking the basics
Drain(-): Weapon gains power from fighter

Here are the classes with the strengthens and weakness:

*Barbarian/Knight (Power)
Fighters tailored in this class use shear power to crush their enemies. Movement is slow, but when an attack hits, it hits hard and causes great damaged. However due to the focus on power and not speed attacks are slow to execute. Suggested weapons: Big anime swords, Lance
S: Strengthen W: Speed

*Dancer/Pirate (Speed)
Using quick footwork and evasion techniques this class can tire enemies that are careless with their attacks. Confusion and fake outs are key to catch opponents off guard . Suggested weapons: Whip, Chinese Sword
S: Speed W: Defense

*Ninja/Assassin (Offense)
The shadows of night! Fighters in this class use their cunning to win, waiting for the golden opportunity to deliver the finishing blows. Attacks are quick and precise, however strengthen is lacking since emphasis is placed of accuracy of the strikes. Suggested weapon: Dagger, Tonfa
S: Drain W: Strengthen

*Gladiator/Samurai (Defense)
While the Ninja/ Assassin class is a offense group, this one focuses more on defense. Able to reflect and guard most attacks and counter with big powerful strikes and blows. However such attacks use a fair amount energy and after a while tire the fighter out. Suggested weapons: Katana, Short sword and shield
S: Defense W: Fatigue

*Thief/ Gunner (Range)
This is the trickster class, able to move with ease since their weapons are light. Their quick, but not as fast as the Dancer/Pirate class. Also the weapons used by this group can be broken with a powerful enough attack. Suggested weapons: Pistol guns x2, nunchaku
S: Light W: Fragile

*Freelancer (Technique)
Fighters in this group create their own style of combat from their traveling journeys. While their skills lack refinement and precision, they have the freedom to create their own moves based on those they have seen or fought against. Suggested weapons: Bo, Straight sword
S: Varies from fighter to fighter W: No control

Weapons List:
Short sword and shield
Katana
Whip/Ball and chain
Axe/Mace
Tonfa/ Eskrima - can be bladed or un-bladed
Lance/Spear/Bo
Dagger/Kunai
Long sword aka big anime swords
Chinese sword/Straight sword
Rapier
Nunchaku
Pistol guns x2 - You can either have 2 pistols or 1 pistol another weapon, but PM me if you choose the latter.
Bow and arrow (You can have 25 arrows use them wisely!)
*Don't see a weapon you like? PM me and I'll add it to the list.

Character sheet
Name: Jack Lancer
Age: 30
Soul of a: Freelancer

Appearance:
Image

Character Bio: Jack had always been a pickpocket as a kid. He didn't know his parents so he had to steal in order to live. But, as he grew, Jack discovered other useful ways to survive. When he turned 16 he struck out into the world with naught but a saber and a pistol. The pistol he was fairly good with, but it took him some time to get the hang of the saber. Jack first used his weapons to catch small time criminals, acting as an amature bounty hunter. In other cases, he also took oddjobs which included things like bodyguard duty and escorting. He traveled mostly through Eastern Europe and Western Asia, hearing stories about a demonic sword clashing with a holy one. When he heard the holy sword had shattered, an idea struck Jack. What if he gathered the pieces, could he not then have the sword remade? So now wanders in search of Soul Calibur's lost pieces, wanting nothing less then to have the holy sword for himself.
Weapon type: Saber and Pistol
Weapon Style: Standard. His style of swordplay seems to be a unique mix of middle east and european pirate fencing. Also, at most any time, his pistol can be drawn and fired, to add a little twist into his style of fighting.
Weapon name (Optional): Steel (Saber) and Fire (Pistol)
Weapon Bio (Optional): The saber was given to Jack as a farewell present from one of his friends to take on his travels. The pistol, however, is the last momento Jack has of his father, so it has great sentimental value to Jack.

Name: Helena Murrell
Age: 24
Soul of a: Pirate

Character Bio: Helena’s parent were the owner of a small bakery in the south of France. Her older brother Tavin no longer wanting to live in the hardships of the village set out to become a pirate. Following her brother against her parents orders the 2 became a notorious team on the high seas. Using the island of Crete as their base they would take the time to plan their next course of action. One day while walking on the beach Tavin spotted a object shining in the sun. Upon a closer look it was a shard from a mysterious object that looked like ice, but had a faint warmth to it. He gave it to Helena later that night, but she broke it in 2 giving a piece back to him. A few weeks later while raiding a Spanish vessel, the crew had found a small box of shards that looked like the ones Tavin had found. He went mad at the sight of the shards and they radiated a red light, slaying those that held the box. Helena tried to stop him but was struck by her own brother. In her shock she fainted. Waking up she realized the crew had taken her to Crete and a doctor their treated her wound. He had treated them with some of the shards in the box and said almost instantly her wound healed. She rushed to the blacksmith and had him forged the shards into her weapon. Helena decided to enter the labyrinth on island and see if her brother was hiding there.

Name: Merrik
Age: 37
Soul of a: Knight

Appearance:
Image

Character Bio: Merrik was born in the Grandall Empire (From Chronicles of the Sword. Just tell me if the idea is stupid). However, Grandall was still obtaining its power, so war was a common thing. From a young age, Merrik was taken from his home and trained in the art of war. He participated in his first battle at the age of 17. For 15 years, he fought battles, winning victory for Grandall, until it finally established its rule. But, the rulers of Grandall were greedy ones from the start, they claimed glory for themselves when it was actually warriors like Merrik who truly faced the bloodshed. Determined to leave his mark in history, Merrik left the empire and searched for other ways to attain glory. For five years, he traveled as a mercenary, a soldier for hire. But, just recently, he had heard of a demon sword, said to give its holder great power. With this in mind, Merrik decided to search for this sword of power, surely, he thought, ths sword would be the tool in which he would make his mark.
Weapon type: Lance
Weapon Style: Advanced - P: Strength, N: Weight. While the lance is somewhat slow, it does have extraordinary strength, and even halfway decent defenseive capabilities. Merrik's lance can cause extra damage if the opponent is pinned against object such as a wall, boulder, tree, etc. as well easily knock away target's who are struck by the blunt sides of the lance.
Weapon name (Optional): Valor
Weapon Bio (Optional): Merrik's lance, Valor, was obtained as a reward from the Grandall Empire for one of Merrik's victories. Merrik found that the lance could defeat enemies more quickly if he used it to pin them against walls and other objects. He also discovered that the lance's horizontal swings could send his enemies flying. It was said that this lance was used to win Grandall's first victory in war.

You can use town and city names from Chronicles of the Sword if you want. I never played it. << Just no silly names like Happy Sunshine Village or Bunny Farm, no matter how tempting it may be.
