[Ginko The Mushishi]

Character Name: Ginko Tai | Jinzo Tai
Nick-names: Gin
Age: In-Game - 20 | Real life - 20
Race: Half- Alv


Gender: Male
Class: Summoner lv. 93
Subclass: Specter User lv. 92
Overskill: Smoke Specter - Completely overhauling Ginko's Summons as a Summoner, they are now replaced with 4 specific smoke-like apparitions created through his specific equipment set, each one having a specific usage. This overskill is always active as of recently, and took Ginko some time getting used to.

Personality:
Highly intelligent, extremely lazy. Is the best way to describe Gin, at best one could consider him an under-achiever. Though because he has a high intellect, Gin can put in minimal effort and still receive the results he was looking for. Despite his hardened, lackidasacal attitude, Gin is a softy. Holding high regards for anyone he considers his friends. It is often difficult to get Gin motivated, but his friends are usually the ones to do it with the right cause to do so. Gin always has a plan, and even if he might seem anti-heroic or almost villanious, it is simply for the plan in action. The only job he will ever take seriously, is being a Summoner. He discards his laziness, and completely undergoes a drastic change in personality. In his words, "If I'm your Summoner, you've hit the jackpot." In his calm confidence, Gin likes to taunt his opponents as a fight goes on.

Character Backstory:
Jinzo is very much like his online-counterpart. Only that he was a popular game streamer at the time, and part-time author of a book series that was selling very well at the time. Jinzo had acquired a taste of Elder Tale since he was a child, his father who was a promoter for Elder Tale in his days as a businessman. His father created a character, and used to sit Jinzo down on his lap as they would both experience the adventures of what Elder Tale had to offer. When Jinzo was 11, he created his first character, taking his name but changing it to Ginko. As Ginko, Jinzo worked his way up to becoming a well-respected Adventurer, but only humbly so. Only a select amount of Adventurer's know of Ginko as a great player, despite his laziness. 9 years down the line, the newest expansion arrived. Jinzo spared no time hopping onto the game and, surprisingly did not freak out over the Catastrophe itself. His laziness continuing to allow him to laze about, while learning the new mechanics and changes of life on his own time. Jinzo is from Japan, and comes from a Middle Class family, and was an only child.

Equipment Loadout: The Wayfarer Set, or commonly known as the Mushi-Shi Set.
This set gives Ginko the ability to acquire a specific change in his summons, as it also ties into his Overskill. Acquiring 4 specific summons that each have a specific job to do.​

• 1st Summon: Smoke Sprites //Healing and Defense// - Creating 4 sprites made out of smoke, these little fearless balls are tasked with grabbing onto an ally and healing them generously over a period of time. They also add a 10% defense boost to whomever they latch onto. Allies will be healed for 10 HP every 5 seconds. The sprites are also able to latch on in multiple numbers, thus boosting the healing rate at 40 HP every 5 seconds, as well as a 40% defense boost if all 4 latch onto an ally.
• 2nd Summon: Smoke Imp //Traps// - Summoning an Imp that is wreathed in the smoke, this summon specializies in creating Spell-bound Traps and hiding them amongst the battlegrounds. Its Traps are similar to that of mines, when triggered the magic trap is activated. Its trap magic ability is called "Tether", and will tether up to 5 opponents within the immediate area of the traps activation. This trap lasts for 10 seconds, keeping the opponents locked in a small area for a short amount of time. The trap is unstackable, and can only be set down in 4 areas chosen by the Summoner. Once one opponent steps into the zone of the trap, all other traps vanish while that trap activates.
• 3rd Summon: Smoke Devil //Debuffs and Speed// - Summoning a large Devil, this summons main focus is to debuff the enemy team, and give speed boosts to the allies. The Devil's debuffs are a 20% defense debuff, 40% if stuck inside a "Tether" trap made from the Imp, and a 20% evasion debuff. The Devil will also give allies a 10% speed buff.
• 4th Summon: Smoke Demon Lord //Attack and Attack buff// - The strongest summon in Ginko's arsenal, and the only one that can damage opponents. This large Demon creates a large scythe-like weapon, rending its foes with a fury of ethereal smoke. As it continues to fight, allies will continue to get a 5% attack boost, up to 45%.

Character Appearance:

 

[shadowdude505]

• Vanessa Bloodfallen
• Abigail Dark

• 
  
  "Don't worry, I don't bite....hard." *Giggles*
  

  
  
  Character Name: Vanessa Bloodfallen/Mayumi Amari
  Nick-names: Night Nurse; Big Sister; Sis; Neesan
  Age: Real life: 22/ In game: 22
  Character Height: 5'9"
  Race: Human
  Gender: Female
  Class: Cleric lv. 92
  Subclass: Vampanella lv. 92
  
  Overskill: (Undiscovered) Moonlight Saint: This skill is a combination of Vanessa's high cleric level and Vampanella subclass, creating a cleric healing style only a Vampanella can use. When the skill is activated, a cleric church cloak made out of moonlight appears as the top layer of Vanessa's clothing. The skill is active for 5 minutes, during that time all of her healing spells are renamed and boosted by the power of the moon. She also gets a temporary boost to her max MP while the Overskill is active. Because this is a Vampanella based skill, the buffs are weaker during the day and strongest at night. While Moonlight Saint is active during the day, healing output and Vanessa's max MP is boosted by 15%. During the night, the boost is 30%. A secret bonus is the ability to heal other Vampanellas without hurting them due to the moon based properties in the temporary healing spells.
  
  Personality:
  Mayumi is a role-player. Under her Vanessa persona, she's a confident woman with a playful and flirtatious demeanor. She often calls men around her age "tiger," or "big boy." Her usual expression is a playful smirk. It may seem like she doesn't take things seriously, but in reality she's really thinking a couple steps ahead. Vanessa is a cunning woman that enjoys playing mind games and partaking in battles of whits. As a Vampanella, Vanessa dislikes being confused for the monstrous version of a vampire. As a cleric she has a tender bedside manner and does what she can to dispel the uneasiness some of the Landers feel toward her kind. Vanessa also has a soft spot for children, showing them her more maternal side. If she doesn't know a child's name, she usually calls a female child "sweetie" and a male child "buddy." Vanessa shows her sisterly side by allowing just about anyone call her "big sister" or a variation on it.
  
  Character Backstory:
  Mayumi is the oldest of two girls, but the only one in her household that actively played videogames. Her father is a doctor and provided a comfy living condition for Mayumi's family. Mayumi liked the idea of healing people and aspired to follow in her father's footsteps. She still really liked videogames and did her best to balance out her gaming life with her academics; although, it wasn't unusual for her to stay up late playing Elder Tale and drinking a lot of coffee to stay awake during the day. Mayumi started playing Elder Tale when she was in middle school. She decided to make a cleric because she wanted to become a doctor in real life. She went after the Vampanella subclass because she was obsessed with vampires at the time. While she now regrets ever liking things like the Twilight books/films, she has never regretted making her character, Vanessa Bloodfallen, a Vampanella.
  
  For a time, Mayumi was an independent cleric that grinded through the story and helped out whatever group needed a cleric at the time with raids. Mayumi later met a player going by Abigail in Akihabara one October day. Abigail thought it was cool that Vanessa was a Vampanella all year round and not just during the Halloween events. The two became fast friends and Vanessa took Abigail under her wing, showing her some of the more advanced mechanics. Of course nothing was quite as advanced as the Elder Tale world becoming reality. The rational side of Mayumi's brain was a bit disappointed that she'd have to put her medical schooling on hold, but her gaming side was super excited. Forced to live with the situation, her gaming side won out.

  Character Name: Abigail Dark/Saaya Nijukki
  Nick-names: Abby
  Age: Real life: 18/ In game: 13
  Character Height: 5'4"
  Race: Human
  Gender: Female
  Class: Summoner lv. 92
  Subclass: Necromancer lv. 92
  
  Overkill: (Undiscovered) Reanimation: Legendary Heroes: Abigail can summon heroic individuals by sending a shockwave of soul energy over their corpses. This ability comes in handy when fighting on old battlefields where lore suggests that many heroes fell, allowing Abigail to literally raise up an army in a last ditch effort to turn the tide. This ability uses a lot of MP though. Another down side is that heroic corpses aren't going to be found everywhere. In these cases channeling soul energy into an artifact that represents a heroic spirit will summon him or her to the party's aid. Only one artifact means that only one legendary hero will fight alongside the party, but the legendary hero is counted as a Phantasmal-class unit. Channeling can be interrupted.
  
  Personality:
  Saaya is a role-player. Under her Abigail persona she acts much younger than she really is and pitches her voice higher when she talks. Despite her moody teen look, she's actually quite cheerful. She's an adventurous tomboy that isn't scared by bugs, rodents, monsters, or ghosts. She has a genuine love for Halloween and always looks forward to the holiday as it draws near. She isn't phased by scary, Halloween media and even the scariest ghost stories can only get a chuckle out of her. Abigail hates being called a child just because she looks like one and sometimes breaks character when really mad.
  
  Character Backstory:
  Saaya didn't grow up always playing video games. Her parents raised her to be less-relent on technology than her peers. Saaya spent most of her childhood doing other things, like playing outside with friends. Fall became her favorite season due to the changing leaves and what would become her favorite holiday, Halloween. Saaya did eventually get a smart phone and more computer privileges when she was 13. Her friends introduced her to the game Elder Tale in October and used the upcoming Halloween event as a hook to get her to make a character and join them. The event was hard for Saaya to ignore. Saaya made her first character, a summoner she called Abigail, and loved playing as her so much that she hadn't bothered making another character.
  
  Saaya soon added the necromanced subclass to her character and continued to play Elder Tale, including every Halloween event from then on. Eventually her friends began to move on to other games and weren't logged in as much. Saaya contemplated finding new online friends to play with and that's when she crossed paths with a Vampanella cleric known as Vanessa Bloodfallen. The two became friends and became a duo. Occasionally they'd help other gamers with raids, but never officially joined a guild.
  
  When the World of Elder Tale became real, Saaya was initially shocked to discover that she was in Abigail's body. Luckily Vanessa had spawned in right beside her. It made things easier knowing that a friend was with her, even if they had never met before in real life. Currently she's glad someone older than her is around to watch her back. As an only child in real life, it's like she has an older sister.

[LadyOfStars]

Character Name: Olivier De Lasser/Olivier
Nicknames: Warrior Queen, Berserker Guardian
Age: 27
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Guardian Level 90
Subclass: Blacksmith Level 90
Overskill: Magical Egineering
Personality:
First and foremost, Olivier is a feminist and a believer of equality for all. Her appearance can sometimes mislead people into thinking that she is someone totally different. Although her love for makeup and beauty might make her seem shallow, Olivier's parents raised her to care more about the world around her. She's a very focused and determined person, which stems from her being ambitious. Once she has set her sights on a goal there is very little that can deter, Olivier. High self-esteem allows her to take on the most daunting challenges with confidence. Despite being serious most of the time, Olivier is very kind and loves to help others. Although she does have a good handle on her emotions, Olivier struggles to control herself whenever she gets angry or becomes frustrated. She's quick to become agressive towards anyone that irritates her, men especially.
When interacting with others, Olivier is very outgoing, patient, and very generous. Her willingness to help others makes her a good friend and she's very understanding and patient. Though she is usually nice to everyone, the one exception are those who spread hate or treat others as inferior. She doesn't hesitate to correct or even fight these people and although she is a feminist, Olivier doesn't let other women get away with that type of behavior either.
As an MMA fighter, Olivier is very brave and doesn't mind facing confrontation of any let head on. In the ring she was compared to a berserker, in Elder Tale she was the same way. It is partial!y what made her a good Guardian. Her reliability as a person makes her an even more successful Guardian.
One thing that, Olivier can't stand to hear, is someone talking about marriage. Simply mentioning the topic makes her skin crawl and if someone talks about it as if marriage is something a woman was supposed to want, then she becomes infuriated and might lash out.
Character Backstory:
Adopted by two MMA fighters, Olivier has always known what strength and love looked like. Because both of her parents were women, she has also always known the difference between men and women in society. Her mother's spent her youth preparing her for whatever the world might throw at her, that included teaching her self-defense as well as making sure she did well in school. It wasn't easy, but with a tutor, Olivier was able to excel in both aspects of her life and grow.
By the time she was a teenager, Olivier was a great fighter and had fearlessly given out a few beatdowns; out of pride, her parents never punished her, even when she was the one that instigated the fight. Whenever a guy at her school picked on a girl, said something or did something sexist, Olivier was found in the principal's office not too long after. She was a champion for feminists everywhere, but she never let detention or suspension keep her from good grades or graduation. While she wasn't the smartest kid at her high school graduation, she was among the highest grades at the end of the year. Coupled with her involvement in the school's newspaper, Olivier was able to gain admission into a good University.
Joining the campus newspaper, Olivier got her degree in creative writing, and shortly after she started a magazine of her own. It was around this time that her mother, Diane, died in a car accident. Her family was devastated, but an old friend from college comforted her and helped her through the pain. April, Olivier's now widowed mother, wasn't supportive of their relationship when the two started to date. After a year and some months, Olivier left her boyfriend. His constant nagging about marriage, along with other things, drove her crazy an eventually she couldn't take it anymore. Saying goodbye to her mother, Olivier moved across the world and took her magazine with her to, Japan. It was here that she joined the gaming community in an effort to highlight female gamers in her magazine. Elder Tale was her world of choice and like most, she fell in love with the game and devoted as much of her time as she could to it. Fans of her magazine joined her guild and livestreamed with her, building a following for her magazine just like she had hoped to.
Eventually, Olivier was a popular gamer within the world of Elder Tale. She was known for being a reliable and skilled guardian. When the game's last update was announced, she covered it in her magazine up til it's launch and encourage all her readers to join in. She did not expect to be dragged into the game and trapped in this new world that was somewhat familiar. In the wake of the catastrophe, Olivier’s guild started to fall apart. The game brought out new sides of people and some were forced to leave. The Diamond Roses shrunk to a few 50 members until by the end of the year, there were only ten, including Olivier. They had spent t the year trying to make, Akihabara their home and attempting to help their fellow Adventurers. She eventually stumbled across, Ginko and his group. Their goals aligned with her own and since she could not participate in the Round Table Alliance, Olivier promised her support to, Ginko and the Silver Star Guild.
Equipment Loadout: Olivier’s equipment was gifted to a lower level player that wanted to venture off alone and leave the guild.
Head: N/A
Body: N/A
Hands:N/A
Legs:N/A
Feet:N/A
Weapon:N/A
Accessories: Dazaneg’s Bag, Gryffin Whistle
Character Appearance:
Olivier’s body is best compared to that of a female superhero, which is something she is very proud of. Standing at an impressive height of 6’2” tall, Olivier is taller than most women and men. Her skin is pale and smooth as it is free of blemishes and scars. She has a very thin body with a feminine form. Surprisingly, Oliver is in great shape, which isn’t what people first think about when they see her larger than average bust or tiny waist. Under all her femininity, Olivier has a flat stomach with the light outline of abdominal muscles. Her arms and legs are a bit more defined, but not to the point where you’d take her serious in any sort of sport. While her body is proportionate for the most part, Olivier’s legs are noticeably long and are connected to a pair of average-sized hips.
An oval-shaped face is constructed by, Olivier’s wide jaw which finds focus at her small, rounded chin. Despite having high cheekbones, Olivier has healthy cheeks rather than hollow cheeks, unlike most people with a similar facial structure. Her wide, deep set eyes are made more dramatic by her thick white lashes. The irises of her eyes are a bright blue, comparable only to the clearest ocean water. Just above those eyes, thin eyebrows are barely noticeable due to their pale, white hue. A pair of full, plump lips hide her well taken care of teeth.
Olivier’s hair is her pride and joy believe it or not. While platinum blonde, the 32 inches of hair sometimes come off as white in the correct lighting. She usually keeps the thick waves of hair tied up in a bun to avoid hair getting in her face.
Out of battle, Olivier tends to switch up her attire very often, letting fans of her Livestream decide what she wore from time to time. Her most usual outfit outfit however Irma pantsuit that was tailored to her measurements and made by a fan in the game. The dark grey pantsuit is her trademark outfit and has made her quite recognizable within the world of, Elder Tale.

[That Lass Over There]

Spoiler: Katsu «The Mad Battle Alchemist»

Character Name:
Takahashi Katsurou - Real Life|Game - Katsu
Nick-names:
Psycho Alchemist|The Woman Who Mastered Alchemy|The Woman Who Won't Die
Ginko's Worst Headache
Age:
15 - Real Life|Game - 26
Race:
Human
Gender:
Male - Real Life|Game - Female
Class:
Druid|Level 91
Subclass:
Alchemist|Level 94
Overskills:
Homunculus Creation - granted to her by the flavor text of a mid-level Alchemist quest, and is reinforced by the alchemy boosting effects of her gloves. She has yet to try it out, unaware that something so far away from the game's original alchemy can be achieved due to flavor text.
New Potion Creation - Because Katsu has no real life experience with pharmaceuticals this overskill is mostly useless, but through careful observation and experimentation as well as several blown up buildings, Katsu has managed to make a few potions that did not exist in the game.

Personality: "That person is immensely perverse." Such words are used to describe Katsu every day, sometimes more than once. She looks in the mirror every day and says it to herself, after all. The masterpiece of a hardcore role player, Katsu is a work of contemporary art. Her flaws are not few, her quirks are far out there, but it still comes together into a (mostly) likable, or at least tolerable personality.

Character Backstory: Katsurou was regarded in his school to be a bit of a nutcase, even among anime and game otakus, and it was often joked that if one day he wasn't forced to go to school he would become a hikikomori that very same day. It was a joke based on reality, because Katsurou certainly dreaded every moment he spent being apart from his computer. Katsurou simply saw an ad for Elder Tale a few years ago, and, lying about his age to create an account, made several characters. When he first entered the game, he had an issue finding parties; he was either too meek or too strong in the approach thanks to him being socially awkward. So, he decided to have some fun acting as other people, and thus Katsu v1.0 was born. Except, that Katsu didn't last long, because it wasn't fun acting like a moderate person. Once he hit level thirty, he discarded that typical moderate and polite personality for something more boisterous and quirky with less practicality, so that he could have fun with the game. That's when the current Katsu was born, along with when Katsurou decided the alchemist subclass was amazing. Later on he became a very well-known player, and became a part of a large raid guild that he left two months ago to throw in the towel for a break from the game. Due to connections she gained in the large guild, she met and got into a one-sided friendship with Gin, and she has been with him since the beginning of the Apocalypse.

A funny note is that Katsurou naturally has a gender-neutral voice, so he used voice chat in the game and nobody actually knows that he's a guy in real life.

He was never caught, but his notebook he had left behind while fleeing a hideout had it's final entry as only one word: "Success." These gloves were found next to the notebook.

Alchemist's storage bracelet – Phantasmal Class Item – Holds up to fifty vials for easy access in combat. Can instantly deliver any vial stored to the user’s hands or shoot it as a ranged attack.

This bracelet used to be a vital tool to an assassin that made use of poisons. He managed to assassinate many high-class targets before getting caught, saying that with every target or strong monster he killed the storage space inside the bracelet got larger. He was heard in his cell the night before his execution swearing that the storage would get larger than the castle he was held at in the hands of the next wielder.

Alchemist Ring of the Serpent: – Artifact Class Item – Being poisoned will affect you positively, immensely buffing and healing you while canceling the poison's effects.
(ie weakness effects from poison are canceled and give strength instead)

Pendant of the Master Alchemist – Phantasmal Class Item – Grants user the ability to turn potions and poisons into gases. Also grants Major boost to production yields, increasing production 5 times. «Transmutation» has higher success rates and is more efficient.

The alchemist who made this really did make gold out of dirt.

Mount:
Piri the Slime. The medium-sized gelatinous glob of green goo is frictionless, and actually very fast on all sorts of terrain. It has a tendency to randomly find precious herbs that weren't there before and slowly dissolve them. Many adventurers found this daunting to their morale and don't use the mount for long after acquiring it.

Extra: Katsu has Icicle Ripper, Heartbeat Healing, Burning Bite, Gaiabeat Healing, and Fierce Mold at Secret rank.

Spoiler: Lillith «Serpent Hunter»

Character Name:
Koboyashi Saki - Real Life | Game - Lillith
Nick-names:
Serpent Hunter | Dragon Calamity | Small and Obnoxious | Dionysus's Kid
Age:
31 - Real Life | Game - 16
Race:
Human (Some rumors say she's part dragon)
Gender:
Female (both in game and in real)
Class:
Swashbuckler | Level 93
Subclass:
Dragon Slayer | Level 90
Overskills:
Extended Blades - the previously aesthetic trails of light that followed the sword strokes of White the Two-Faced and Black the Misjudged now are treated as physical extensions of the blades, though Lillith herself can move through the trails without issue. The trails can block attacks that would pass through them or damage enemies that touch them. The trails only last a tenth of a second, so they are difficult to utilize. Most often this is used as a trick to cover her temporary retreat from a melee or score a few extra hits on an enemy.
Owner of the Vaults - Ineffective until flavor text of items comes into play. This overskill overwrites the Key to Gideon's Vaults slightly, bringing the flavor text to life. It will make the key equipable in a weapon slot, and will automatically deposit phantasmal and artifact class weapons in Lillith's possession other than the key itself into the vaults. This will allow Lillith to summon the true version of that weapon from the vaults, benefiting from it's special abilities and stat bonuses on top of the bonuses from the key. Of course, should she lose the key to another person, she will stop being the owner of the vaults and lose this overskill.
Manual Evasion - Technically not an overskill, as it was possible against most attacks in the game even before the Apocalypse. Lillith can use her ridiculous combat movement multiplier of x12 (x20 on her mount) to manually evade attacks without having to rely on evasion chance. If she isn't there to hit, she can't take any damage. This is one of the major players in her combat style being 'against the nature of warriors'.

Personality: Lillith is... Fun loving, to say the least. She played Elder Tale to let loose after spending a stressful and boring day as an office worker, and her personality as her avatar reflects that. She's boisterous, loves to party (mostly for the booze), loves to fight, and is generally a reckless ball of fun and energy. She's set to do what she thinks is the right thing, and her rare serious moments always come up when she believes that people are in danger or wrong is being done. When she gets serious someone is going to die - either her or the wrongdoer. She's passionate about challenging herself as a warrior and constantly improving, and any claims that her evasive fighting style isn't the way of a true warrior falls on deaf ears.

Background: Saki was an office worker that didn't necessarily like her stressful job or her infuriating coworkers, but stayed on because she needed the decent pay the job gave with no alternate income to support herself. She spent time late into the night venting as a result, and she chose Elder Tale. Her limited time to play meant that she couldn't easily spend days worth of time farming, but her reckless attitude of charging into areas that were 'too high level' for her combined with her high player skill and luck resulted in her somehow managing to climb to the point she has in seven or eight years. She was also pretty popular at the local bar, a fun drinker that anyone could get along with. She was known for giving good advice too. Mysteriously, it's only ever good advice when she's drunk... The rest of the time her advice is absolutely terrible.

Spoiler: Equipment

Weapon 1: White the Two-Faced - Phantasmal Set 1-Handed Curved Sword - High damage, high critical chance and damage, high bonus to dexterity, drains the opponents MP and converts it to health (1 to .1 conversion rate) without alerting them (ie doesn't show a debuff icon), massive holy attribute damage. "The sword of a noble hero who is heartless" Set Bonus: When wearer possesses «Black the Misjudged», movement speed is multiplied by three, evasion and damage get a 10% boost, and the swords have an ethereal trail. While the trail is decorative, in the apocalypse it serves as an extension of the blades - it can damage anything it connects with and block attacks.
Weapon 2: Black the Misjudged - Phantasmal Set 1-Handed Curved Sword - High damage, high critical chance and damage, high bonus to dexterity, gives wielder access to «Block» active/passive skill that allows complete nullification of physical damage once when activated (one minute cooldown) and reduces all taken damage by 5% otherwise, massive dark attribute damage "The sword of a failure of a villain who saves, respects, and mourns" Set Bonus: When wearer possesses «White the Two-Faced», movement speed is multiplied by three, evasion and damage get a 10% boost, and the swords have an ethereal trail. While the trail is decorative, in the apocalypse it serves as an extension of the blades - it can damage anything it connects with and block attacks.

Spoiler: Weapon 3 (it's big so it got put in a spoiler)

Weapon 3: Key to Gideon's Vaults - Phantasmal Weapon - Technically an accessory as it is equipped in an accessory slot. However, you cannot use it in conjunction with other weapons, it's item type is recognized as a weapon on the surface, and it gives weapon bonuses and abilities, so it's most often recognized as a weapon.
Key to Gideon's Vaults is an odd weapon, inferior to most of it's rival phantasmal weapons, without specialization or a set in stone weapon type. It comes with it's own unique skillset, but the skills are just to change the weapon's form or switch back to the normal set of weapons. It is also an oddity as it is one of the few weapons that deal 'true' damage, ignoring all resistances and weaknesses to just deal flat damage.
High damage, medium critical chance but high critical damage, can summon the form of any weapon type including bows, deals level scaling bonus damage based on both strength and dexterity score regardless of summoned weapon, summoned melee weapons can be thrown at high velocities and benefit from throwing skills, summoned weapons cannot deal damage that is not true damage, hitting something with the summoned weapons has a very small chance to trigger the "True Warrior's Curse" that greatly reduces the target's ability scores until the target or the wielder die or the curse is dispelled by normal means. The summoned weapon can take the form of any phantasmal or artifact weapon of that type, but does not gain the special abilities and appears in ethereal form.
"Gideon was a true warrior, unparalleled by all except time itself. He left many legacies, but one of the most notable is his vaults of legendary weapons that he took from his felled enemies. The vaults were looted long ago and the weapons distributed through the world once more, but the spirits of his treasures remained in the vault and respond to any that hold this key as if they were Gideon himself. Even though they lack their physical forms that carry their special traits and abilities, they shall end the enemies of the one who holds this key, just as they ended every enemy of Gideon's and expanded the collection."

Right Hand: Bracelet of Power - Production Class Armor - High bonuses to physical damage, critical chance and damage, and defense. Cooldown reduction.

Left Hand: Bracelet of Cunning - Production Class Armor - High bonuses to dexterity, magical defense, critical chance and damage. Cooldown reduction.

Head: The Huntresses' Eyes - Artifact Class Armor - High bonuses to evasion, crit chance and damage. Reveals weak points of the monster(ie weak to poison. Doesn't work on players). Changes eye color to a pale orange color. Used to just reveal damage vulnerabilities or lacking stats, but now shows actual vital points on top of that information.

Body: Rogue Knight's Leather Breastplate - Artifact Class Armor Set Piece - High bonuses to physical and magical defense, health, and evasion. Set bonus: Increase to aggro generation, doubles attack speed

Legs: Rogue Knight's Skirt - Artifact Class Armor Set Piece - High bonuses to physical and magical defense, health, and evasion. Set bonus: 30% chance to confuse attacker when their attack is successfully evaded or blocked. Set bonus: Increase to aggro generation, doubles attack speed

Character Name: Sayogoromo Seikatsu/Sayogoromo
Nicknames: Sayo, Nogitsune
Age: 22
Race: FoxTail
Gender: Male
Class: Assassin Level 92
Subclass: Courtesan Level 94
Overskill: Overlay and To Somewhere
Personality:
Sayogoromo’s parents played a very large role in his figuring out who he is as a person. When he was young, freedom made him somewhat of a wild child. But time and experience have made him much more mild. At his core, Sayogoromo is always looking out for himself. Life on the run trained him mentally until he was able to ignore the suffering of others and protect himself. He isn’t as proud as someone might assume he is upon first meeting him. But, Sayogoromo is shameless and easily shrugs off his mistakes as life has taught him there’s no time to dwell on such things. While he can be lively and exciting at times, Sayogoromo’s illness has made him reluctant to be so. He’s almost always relaxed or trying to do things that allow him to be.
Chatting with others is extremely easy for, Sayogoromo thanks to his mother’s lessons and plenty of practice. Whether it’s old friends or total strangers, he doesn’t shy away from conversation and puts his skills to use to ensure the topic is of interest to the other person. More often than not, Sayogoromo pushes the boundaries and tends to invade the personal space of others. He’s a good listener, thanks to years of practice, and he can easily fake most emotions. Forming bonds with others is something that he struggles with however as most people he would befriend, would be viewed as a potential client, a source of income. In this new world however, most people might be enemies rather than friends. Unfortunately for those around him, Sayogoromo is quite dangerous and even friends can be thrown to the side if it would help him get something he wants.
Character Backstory:
Sayogoromo was born to, Mei and Kaito Seikatsu. The couple was married for twelve years before they thought about children as they had decided to take the time to create a stable environment for their child to come into.
Sayogoromo was unfortunately born with a virus. The illness damaged his lungs and makes is difficult for him to gain weight and keep that weight. Because of this condition his parents kept a watchful eyes on their child. The task was more so, Mei responsibility as she didn’t have to leave the house for or work. Mei owned small building next door to their house where she employed and trained geisha. Kaito worked a corporate job and sat behind a desk all day. So, Sayogoromo accompanied his mother everywhere she went and was often times watched over by one of t the geisha when, Mei needed to sleep. Sometime during this alone time, Mei decided that, Sayogoromo would take over her business when the time came as his illness wouldn’t take allow him too many options for work. So when he turned 7, they started to teach Sayogoromo the things he’d need to know to be successful. He learned about art and the many things that fell under its wide umbrella. He learned calligraphy, and how to play several string instruments. Kaito tried to teach him academic skills, like advanced maths and such, but they never clicked for him. He was good at history though.
Sayogoromo was in his late teens when a game called, Elder Tale was released. By then he had decided to work alongside the Geisha as a taikomochi in order to experience their work, and to pass the free time he had. His father purchased, Elder Tale in the hopes that it would keep his son from becoming too stuck in his current career and remind him that it wasn’t what they wanted for him. He was hesitant, but eventually he fell in love with the game. His love of history led him to pick a, Kannagi class and his desire to be fierce caused him to choose, Poison User as a subclass. At first he didn’t understand anything, but time and a bit off he’ll fixed that. With his real world charm and skills, Sayogoromo was able to convince other players to do things that furthered his own in-game agenda. He got more experienced players to take him on their raids, tricked others into taking pity on him and trading their useful items for cheap, and tricked a guild master into giving him a large sum of the guild’s gold, which he didn’t return. In order to save himself from embarrassment, the guild master had to leave the game. As the years went by, Sayogoromo gained a reputation as a useful party member, but was also known to be quite the trickster and troublemaker. Only people who had known him for long periods of time trusted him and those who didn’t trust him, tried the best to keep him at arm’s length.
When the, Apocalypse occurred, Sayogoromo was logging into the game like everyone else and hoped to play the new expansion. When he was put into the game, things changed. At first he was worried, but when he realized his. Illness hadn’t transferred into the game, that fear went away. He became accustomed to the world rather quickly and was able to pull some of his old tricks again, but with greater success now that they were physically in this world. The Round Table was a surprise to him as many people he’d cross paths with were part of it. Their familiarity with him kept him from joining the group and he eventually left, Akihabara all together.
The following year was spent traveling across the land in search of possible answers to questions that lingered within his mind. First he discovered his Overskill and put it to use with his Subclass. With a new identity, Sayogoromo all but disappeared from the world. Only a handful of players knew of his new identity and they were all people that needed him and vice versa. Towards the end of the year, Sayogoromo’s second identity was appointed, Ambassador of the Holy Westlande Empire and sent to Akihabara to build a bridge between the two powers.
Equipment Loadout: Shinto Priest’s Kariginu
Head: None
Body: Phantasmal-Class Sage’s Kariginu - A gift given to him before the, Apocalypse by a grateful player he teamed up with. Thanks to their high level tailor subclass they were able to create a special garment for him. Made of a dark-purple material, the garment follows the traditional Kariginu pattern. The under layers of the ensemble are made of a black material while the accents around the outfit are done in gold. The tailor was able to work one bonus into the outfit which shortened all of the wearer’s ability cooldowns by one second.
Hands: A set of black bandages around his right hand and arm that goes up to his shoulder.
Legs: None
Feet: Sage’s Geta - Another gifted item, given by a woodcutter who he once partied with. The wooden shoes give him a small boost to his MP points.
Weapon: The Semei Bow - Crafted by a Weapon Crafter, Sayogoromo assisted in hunting down the needed resources to craft the high-level bow. It’s a simple longbow with seals and a variety of symbols etched into the iron weapon. The, Weapon Crafter made the bow so that it would have lifesteal capabilities and slow enemies on hit.
Accessories: None
Character Appearance:

Sayogoromo designed his in-game appearance to match his real world appearance as much as possible. So he wasn’t surprised by his looks when he entered the game. His 120 pound body is of course, very thin and being six feet tall doesn’t help. Several of his bones are clearly defined thanks to his weight issues. Because he looks so sickly, Sayogoromo makes sure to take very good care of his olive skin. While it does lack a radiance expected of someone his age, his skin is still soft and smooth. Just above his chest, Sayogoromo‘s collarbone is proudly on display with his ribs being easy to see and count. His spine is just as visible as the aforementioned bones. Of course, his fingers are very thin with short nails painted black. Sayogoromo’s long legs are the same way and lead down to a set of toenails that are also painted black. Because he is underweight, whenever, Sayogoromo’s blood starts to race, the veins in his arms and hands become visible.
Long, silky, black hair cascades down his back to the top of his buttocks. His hair is well taken care of and his rather thick, but he looks like a member of the undead whenever it is not styled. Normally, he wears his hair in ways that women often would. Intricate styles and ornate accessories are normal for, Sayogoromo and his hair is normally done up in a classical shimada style. Golden combs, flowers, and a variety of items have been used to adorn his hair. As a, Fox Tail, Sayogoromo has fox ears and tails which he can hide is he choose to. He has nine tails and like his ears, they are white in color. Normally he keeps them hidden when engaged in combat so that he doesn’t draw any unwanted attention to himself,
A set of bangs usually hide, Sayogoromo’s forehead and come down far enough just to touch his thin eyebrows. Under his brow, a pair of eyes look out upon the world. A dark brown in color, narrow lids give them a sharp form, while skill allows them to switch between warm or dangerous at a moment’s notice. His black lashes create a dense canopy around his eyes and accent his eyebrows. Because he takes such good care of his skin, Sayogoromo’s sunken eyes do not look as bad as they could. His high cheekbones are close up under those brown eyes and are made more proud by the thin cheeks below. Thanks to his weight issues, his cheeks are rather shallow and add to his deathly appearance. A pair of supple, bow-shaped lips contradict his other features and the lovely smile they create, illuminates and somewhat revitalizes his countenance. Sayogoromo has perfect teeth and a pair of average ears hidden by his hair, unless he’s wearing earrings.
Sayogoromo’s fashion taste runs away from the current norms of society. His daily attire consists of both susohiki and komon style kimonos, the style depending on his mood and planned daily activities. More often than not, Sayogoromo’s outfits are either brightly colored or simply warm. Very rarely does he wear dark colors. The only time that he strays from this preferred way of dressing, is when he has to engage combat and equip his battle attire.

[Twintailed Karma]

Character Name: Sora Soriano / [FAKE]
Nick-names: Fixer, Self-Styled Greatest Crafter In All Theldesia, Shareholder, Genuine [FAKE]
Age: 43 / Forever 21
Race: Half Filipino/Half Japanese - Dwarf
Gender: Female/Female
Class: Bard 91
Subclass: Counterfeiter 92
Overskill: Genuine Fake (Named by [FAKE] herself, this Overskill takes advantage of both the Counterfeiter's flexibility and actual crafting skill born from research and working with other crafters. Instead of just copying items and their abilities, so long as she has witnessed the production of an item she can actually craft it. On paper, this sounds mundane, but in practice it allows her to make high level gear from the ground up regardless of specialty class required to make it. This also allows her to experiment since different crafting specialties confer different ranges of abilities to gear. Shields that specialize in offensive stats, weapons best used for defense, bombs that explode in aoe heals... the sky is the limit so long as she puts in the work and research necessary.)

Personality: [FAKE] has always been an opportunist. Honorable with contracts, she never the less focuses on what folks want and need and does her best to appeal to that market. Of course, as a Counterfeiter, this requires her to have people willing to work with her. Due to this, she is friendly and respectful towards others, clients and rivals alike. The only thing she cannot stand is the brand of idiocy that goes against the business model. Sometimes, if she feels they can learn, she will educate folks, doing her best to teach them why hoarding this or that or kidnapping girls off the streets is a bad idea. Other times? Well... when she is truly angry at a person, it will rarely involve her personally taking a shiv to their face. Instead, her anger is a dish served cold and from all directions.

After all, making lots of contacts also means spreading news VERY quickly. And while she cannot personally insure merchants and honest folk alike won;t deal with someone? She can spread news of their exploits very quickly. Just like her name, her smile is a Genuine Fake. Oft times completely believable and honest... and others? A mask hiding the vile curses echoing in her mind.

Character Backstory: Sora has always liked two things about MMOs. Crafting and Networking. Her father, an avid gamer himself, introduced her to Elder Tale when it first came out. Because her family consists of three siblings and more cousins than you can shake a stick at, Elder Tale became the ideal way to keep in touch with everyone. And through them, Sora learned of how best she could assist her extended family and their friends... which was by crafting and helping crafters. Which was why she started a small forum group, a quasi-Guild by the name of 'Market Share'. Originally a means for her and her family to share what they needed in terms of equipment and items, it slowly became a trading hub for friends and friends of friends around the world. Which items sold better in which areas? Where could one grind for certain materials or gear? In the end, Market Share became an official Guild, if only to make trading between servers easier. After all, all one needed to do was put items into the Guild Bank to transfer them over, the honor system holding firm amongst the group. With the coming of the new patch, there was even talk of possibly buying a personal Island as a guild base! Market Share became a large, extended family.

Of course, in that time Sora discovered the Counterfeiter Subclass, and instantly fell in love with the idea. After all, there were already many talented crafters in Market Share, the only downsides being that some of the best gear possible took time and expensive resources to make. With some set Counterfeiters like herself, they could corner the market on decent gear and outfit the Family easily. The downside, of course, was the fact that everything made by Counterfeiters had Fake in the name or description... which is how [FAKE] came to be created. By turning [FAKE] into a brand name for her personal counterfeits, she could elevate the worth of the items she could make, which in turn would reflect well on Market Share. And if Market Share grew popular, she could get more crafters and merchants to sign on and help out, thus increasing possible revenue and helping crafters in turn!

As the new expansion was getting closer to launch, [FAKE] became more and more eager to keep the ball rolling, stockpiling as much gold as Market Share could to make the dream of owning an entire island a reality! As soon as launch hit, she swore she would check prices....

When the Cataclysm hit, [FAKE] was at a loss of what to do. No forum meant no easy line of communication, since Market Share only had a minor presence in Japan, and due to the need to check prices and materials everywhere that meant that only a couple of members were even in the same city, the rest spread out in home cities across Theldesia. Even her own immediate family wasn't even in the same country. With the Fairy Gates a random mess and the large teleportation gates down, she started to feel worried she might never know the fate of her family and friends, since communication between Servers was almost impossible in-game.

... which was when she remembered the Honor System the Guild had. Rushing to the Guild Hall, [FAKE] created a quick letter.

"If you are safe, create a letter with your name and the Shareholders near you". After which she put her own name along with the names of those within message distance.

And as the first letters started flooding the storage, [FAKE] felt hope blooming in her breast. Market Share was still in business... only now? Now they had access to something truly important. Information. Looking out at a city full of Adventurers wrapped in despair, [FAKE] felt a smile spread across her new features. These folks had wants and needs, and she would help fulfill them. Not only that? She'd give them the best quality service she could provide. After all...

"If it's not High Quality? It's not a Genuine [FAKE]."

Since the Cataclysm, [FAKE] and Market Share have done their best to grow. With their communication and widespread net of information, they became necessary for spreading news of other Home Cities and regions. The Guild itself was able to purchase a small island within the confines of the Yamato Server and built up the Main Branch of Marketshare, where the Guildmaster and several major shareholders process new recruits and new information before it's spread out to the rest of the world. They have even created several new groups within the Guild to handle different tasks, such as the Travelers who willingly run through fairy rings to try and map them as well as explore areas that haven't been mapped out yet. There are even instances where, when certain dungeons or raids appear too dangerous to explore, Marketshare will put out bounties to gather Adventurers to clear them, not wanting another Goblin Invasion to happen. More importantly, they keep their eyes open for the strange Intelligent Boss Entities that threatened Akihabara and several other areas.

Despite all this, [FAKE] has been content in serving the Akihabara Community, gathering a few trusted folks tojoin Marketshare and reaching out to the Roundtable to make herself useful to them. She owns a small guild house that acts as her personal base of operations and has even employed several Landers to do odd jobs and help her out with tasks, learning from them in turn to better aid Marketshare in serving Lander Kingdoms as well. Amusingly, one of her guild members decided to put [FAKE] in bold letters above the door of her house, causing folks to call it the [FAKE] Shop. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

Backstory and Personality:
Katsurou is the eldest son and considered a child prodigy. From a very early age, his grades were exceptional because he possessed a unique gift to completely recall anything he had been present to experience with any of his senses in perfect detail. This could be conversations he overheard originally as background noise to everything the teachers covered in his classes to the smallest of details about a particular day. Combining his superb memory with lots of techniques he had learned for finding and focusing in on the important data and methods to process it, he was able to develop exceptional skills at processing information and making the best decisions for the situation quickly. This carried over into his hobbies such as Elder Tale. He has always pushed himself hard to be the very best at any endeavor that he takes on, even if it is something he wouldn’t consider himself to be very good at. Once he decided to do something, he would strive to do his very best and give it his all. His desire to make his family proud has left him sometimes a little oblivious to how others were impacted as he was so focused on how well he performed. He is very careful and likes to think things through but still is not afraid to take on a challenge. He has a little sister that he loves a lot but never realized the impact his accomplishments had on her until recently thanks to his friendships that he made while attending Tokyo University where he is pursuing a double major in Economics and Law (focus on international law).

Pre-Apocalypse, Akio had managed to participate in a special event allowing him to earn a sub-class that had previously only been used for NPCs called Sage. This would allow him to essentially be a multi-classed spellcaster in all 6 of the classes but required a lot of unique questing to unlock its fully potential. There were rumors that this may later be made available to all servers for a limited number of players on each server and would have a lot more support in the upcoming 12 expansion: Homesteading the Noosphere. This was an exciting prospect so he had pre-ordered the expansion and was online waiting for it to go live when the event occurred that is now referred to as the Apocalypse.

After the Apocalypse, Akio found the large raiding guild he was a part of didn't have many people left in this world. He left the guild and became a solo player that eventually decided to work with Lillith who had a particular reputation that he found amusing. With the aid of Lillith, he set out looking for everything he could find supporting his Sage subclass and eventually stumbled upon the Astral Sage set gear that he now wears. He also managed to gain information that eventually led him to figuring out the timing differences in this world and the real world so he was able to use the fairy rings reliably though he has not shared that information with others yet.

Extra: Currently has all skills from all 6 classes ranked up to Hidden with some at Secret.

 

[Ginko The Mushishi]

Character Name: Mirai (Real Life) - Luxu /Pronounced-Lushu/ (In-Game)
Nick-names: Apprentice of Ginko, Zodiac Master, Tarot Reader
Age: 21 - 21
Race: Ritian


Gender: Male
Class: Summoner - 93
Subclass: Sigilmancer - 93
Overskill: Zodiac Contract - Much like Ginko, Luxu's summons are shifted into creatures that resemble the Zodiac signs, using the Sigilmancer Subclass, Luxu engraves blank tarot cards with intricately designed Zodiac Symbols, and thus summons them to the battle-field for multiple purposes. Luxu has another effect to his Overskill though, which is known as "Zodiac Contract Sacrifice" - Where he sacrifices all of his current Zodiac cards to summon a Celestial familiar onto the field, and fight.

Personality: Luxu is confident, calculative, snarky, and completely the opposite to Ginko, such as having a fired-up personality, mischievous, and holding an unbreakable will. Perfectly trusting in his class/subclass, Luxu disregards the belief that he could lose, especially with a team that he can trust. Somewhat making him arrogant, but in good nature.

Character Backstory: Mirai got into Elder Tale around its fifth expansion, and was enamoured by its fruitful gifts as a young college student majoring in Computer Science and Mathmatics. Mirai fancied gambling, mainly poker though as it involves acute awareness, and mathmatical breakdowns to win. Mirai selected the Summoner class, and the sigilmancer as his subclass for very odd reasons, with an idea of gambling in mind. During battle of any kind, Mirai would grab a 6 sided die, and roll to see what Summon he would choose from in his arsenal, and after a few weeks of trial and error, found a way to consistently roll the die while also playing Elder Tale with ease. It added an unusual sort of fun to the mix of his gaming in the MMORPG. Every day, Mirai decided to re-arrange his summons so as to use each one on a different date, keeping the gambling fresh and entertaining much to his liking.

Around the 7th expansion, Mirai hadn't really acquired much from his playthroughs of Elder Tale, only really hitting level 30 by the time it came out. That was until he met Ginko, his master and most trusted confidant. Although difficult to persuade the sloth-like man to train him he was able to peak the fabled Summoner through detailing his playstyle, which despite Ginko being a lazy man was intruiged by how Mirai used gambling to play as a Summoner. Ginko made a pact with Mirai, and helped him out through any sort of content Mirai was stuck on, only jumping in to help Mirai when he truly needed the help, or to explain certain perks that Summons might have over another.
When the 9th expansion rolled in, Mirai was already a fully leveled Summoner, although not popular like his master he found groups of Adventurer's who would appreciate his help during Raids or Quests. Having already spread his wings, Mirai was already out there in the world of Elder Tale without the need for Ginko's guidance, yet he always returns to his master and confidant for old times sake.
When the Novasphere Pioneers hit, known as the 12th expansion and the cause of The Catastrophe hit, Mirai, now Luxu was taken aback by the change in all aspects from the Expansion. Freaking out only in excitement, until he learned that he was permanently stuck in the Gaming world, his spirit although was not crushed, and instead decided to seek out his master Ginko for answers, or perhaps theories on this shift of life. Ginko was unable to give any answer towards what happened, and in his nature of being lazy, told Luxu to just let it run its course and figure out the changes of Elder Tale on his own.
Spurring Luxu on, he agreed to help the Round Table Alliance in secret, running raids and quests to keep the peace for Akihabara and other Lands in the Yamato Server. During this time, Luxu was able to acquire his very specific equipment set, and his sigilmancer subclass revealed its secrets to him with the Overskill ability alongside his main class. Now able to model his gambling practices in-game, Luxu decides to pick a random tarot card from his deck and summon whatever Zodiac Sign from the card he chooses on random.
Currently, Luxu is at the Silver Star Inn helping Ginko for its grand opening.

Equipment Loadout: Celestial Reader Set, or commonly known in-game as the Astrologian Set. A rare set that is gifted to a Summoner who walks the path of the Stars and the signs. Only available to Summoners who are provided with a top-secret quest, only meant to be completed solo. It took Luxu 3 months to complete on his own, including traveling to different lands, even to Susukino to complete. This set allows Luxu to maintain his Summons on the field for longer periods of time, as well as increases evasion, high MP recharge, and summoning costs lowered.​

Equipment Setup

Head: Beads of the Constellations (Phantasmal) "Beads that wrap around the head, an Astrologian scoures the heavens for Answers" Light weight armor that boosts MP recharge rate, allowing Luxu to cast his summons faster, and re-summon them to the field.​

Body: Celestial Robes of the Constellations (Phantasmal) "A light weight robe that wraps around the wearer, fit for those who seek the stars" Light weight armor that boosts MP recharge rate, allowing Luxu to cast his summons faster, and re-summon them to the field.​

Hands: Golden Bracelets of Uruthu (Phantasmal) "Golden Bracelets worn by an Astrologian who became one with the heavens." Light weight armor that lowers summoning costs, allowing Luxu to keep his summons on the field longer.​

Legs: Celestial Leggings of Constellations (Phantasmal) "Baggy pants that are worn among Astrologians, adorned with a long sash tied around the waist." Light weight armor that boosts evasion speed.​

Feet: Celestial Sandals of Constellations (Phantasmal) "Sandals worn by Astrologians that travel distant lands to seek the stars" Light weight armor that boosts evasion speed.​

Weapon: Grimoire of the Stars (Phantasmal) "An unusual night sky colored Grimoire, amongst the body of the book are stars lighting up the books blackened color." Oddly enough, Luxu's Grimoire is replaced with a deck of Cards when activated in battle, this weapon allows Luxu to maintain the Zodiac Summons for an extended period of time.​

Accessories:
Dazaneg's Magic Bag - able to hold a MULTITUDE of items.

Zodiac Tarot Deck - Luxu is capable of summoning 6 Zodiac themed familiars from the effects of his Overskill through these cards. This is also his main way of battle as of to date.​

​

Spoiler: Zodiac Summons

Libra - "The Balance"
The Libra Zodiac is the symbolization of balance . Summoning three swords of light, and three swords of darkness, these swords are meant to pierce allies (for light) and heals them instantly for 1000 points, and for enemies (for darkness) pierces them and makes weakens enemies general defense. Three swords may be pierced in the ally or enemy, gifting allies 3000 HP or weakening enemy defense GREATLY.

Sagittarius - "The Arrow"
A fearless Zodiac that pierces through all with its arrow-head. A bow to go along with it, the Sagittarius is a one-time attacker that shoots out an arrow of pure sunlight, causing a large AOE attack upon impact. After the arrow is shot, the Sagittarius leaves the field instantly, well-suited for low health enemies and finishers.

Aries - "The Child"
A curious, and energetic Zodiac, this summon allows damage negation and redirection, although is a harder Zodiac to control using up more MP than the others. The Aries Zodiac is able to shield all allies for 3 turns, whether it be AOE, single-target, or multiple hit attacks. At the end of the 3rd turn, the Aries Zodiac will redirect all damage back with a multiplier of 2.00x

Gemini - "The Sword-Bearer"
The versatile Zodiac, and whisperer of the Wind. This Zodiac appears weak, but is equipped with a sword that can move faster than the eye can see. The Gemini is a multi-hit attacker, and its blade sings in the wind. Coupled with Libra, Gemini is able to cause moderate to heavy damage.

Scorpio - "The Poisoned"
Faithless and mischevious, the Scorpio attacks its enemies with ethereal toxin, damaging equipment heavily and procing a high toxin status chance on the enemies.

Star Child - "The Awakened"
This is not a Zodiac, instead it is a Celestial familiar only summoned through Luxu's second overskill ability, sacrificing a total of 5 random cards in his deck, he is able to summon The Star Child. In the presence of Star Child, allies gain a massive boost to all stats, and enemies acquire a reduction in their own. Star Child controls two massive AOE attacks, "Calamity Blade" in which Star Child summons an elongated sword, and swipes across his foes in a flash of light, or "Vortex Nova" where Star Child forces enemies to be pulled into a vortex that soon enough explodes, dealing the immense damage. Although, there are drawbacks to using Star Child, such as any previous buffs or debuffs from Zodiacs are now negated in favor of Star Child's, and once done with an attack of Luxu's choosing, Luxu's MP gauge is forced to 1 MP.

Character Appearance:

Extra: Luxu's Deck consists of multiple copies of his Zodiacs, at least 5 of each Zodiac is placed in the deck, except for Star Child, in which is only acquired through specific means. Once finished with a zodiac, they have a set timed-cool down, and after finished they will be re-shuffled into the deck.

(Luxu is going to be my main-ish character, as Ginko is simply an NPC-esque Adventurer, whom will own the Silver Star Inn and to that effect help continue the story in his own way. He will rarely be a part of Raids, quests, adventurer duties in general. But will remain prominent throughout the storyline. After this character, I will set up the Team B characters, who will be low leveled characters that everyone will make, to bring together a different outlook for the roleplay.)

On her cat-obsessed side, Neko utilities cat-like mannerisms, like saying "Nyan," making purring noises, and hissing. She also likes to sleep in comfy places and likes to sleep in. Sometimes she can be a slow riser when waking up, but her energetic side makes her bright and chipper pretty quickly shortly after someone tells her to wake up.

Character Backstory:
Tora is the youngest in her household. She has an older brother and sister that are twins. Tora is basically a normal high-school girl that lives with her parents. She plays some videogames but also does a lot in the real world. Out of all the household choirs, taking care of her cats is her favorite.

Tora discovered Elder Tale late in it's life cycle. She fell in love with the world of the game. As an idol crazed teen, she decided to utilize the idol subclass even though it didn't do a whole lot. In the game, Tora acted as a freelance cleric and grouped up with the lower leveled players. She managed to reach level 30 before the new update hit. Realizing she was now in the body of her character Neko, Tora was excited about the prospect of becoming an actual idol in the world of Elder Tale. Before she could figure out a way to make her idol dreams come true, she made an interesting discovery. The special mount she had purchased through the e-shop suddenly had a personality of her own. Neko decided to name her Cleopatra and she was her first friend made in the new world of Elder Tale.

[Ginko The Mushishi]

Name: Ginjo Souken
Age: 18(RL) and 18 (IG)
Nick-names: None that have stuck or made waves with him, but people usually refer to him as having a creepy face.
Race: Ritian

Gender: Male
Class: Assassin lvl. 35
Sub-Class: Scribe lvl. 33
Overskill (Locked): Ink-Soaked Blade: Ginjo's shirasiya katana is doused in loads of magic ink (Provided that Ginjo has crafted the specific ink to be used) that then coats the blade of the shirasaya. When Ginjo slashes the air, a stroke of ink will appear that if touched by an enemy, will proc a bleeding status effect. If the gauge for the bleeding status is filled, the enemy will suffer massive damage.

Personality: Ginjo's online personality doesn't quite fall far from his RL personality. Though kind, and somewhat goofy, Ginjo has quite the perverted mind. Although closeted, his mind runs on a tangent of possible hilarious outcomes that involve his pervertedness. Besides that detail, Ginjo is actually rather friendly and is a more cunning, soft speaking character. He'll never be too loud nor will be he too quiet, just pleasantly existing alongside companions.

Character Backstory: Ginjo's backstory revolves mainly around his high school career, wanting to develop a MMORPG similar to Elder Tale, Ginjo was planning to go to college for Computer and Technology, though his home-life was rather unsavory and the laptop he was gifted during his freshman year wasn't able to run Elder Tale, Ginjo made ends meet by playing Elder Tale through the school computers. Sometimes even breaking into school for long nights of gaming sessions. When he started Elder Tale, Ginjo wanted a challenge, so he chose the most unfavorable of Races, the Ritian because of their low health, but the added bonus of using the magic seals on his body in turn would provide a fair challenge to say the least.

Ginjo was interested in Ninja's, Samurai's, and all the old Japanese historics of his country. Because of this, Ginjo chose an Assassin and would build them up to be a kimono wearing Ninja warrior, and because he liked practicing Kanji, Ginjo chose the Scribe sub-class to reflect that on his character. Although, the character creation was so vast for Ginjo that without a bat of an eye created a character with the facial features resembling that of a rather grouchy, edgy, and unnerving character. With large bags under his eyes, long flowing black hair that was untamed except for a large ponytail. Glowing gold eyes that didn't really invite friendship to others. When being transported to the world of Elder Tale, this proved to be a difficult thing for Ginjo to get used to at first, as he wasn't meant to look unapprochable.

Equipment Loadout: Ginjo's set doesn't seem very amazing, and is only there to provide basic defensive capabilities. Though once he gets to a higher level, and begins to partake Raids he will gain better equipment.


Head: None

Body: Yukata Kimono Jacket: A dull grey and black jacket styled in a Kimono fashion.

Hands: None

Legs: Yukata Hakama: A dull grey and black Hakama.

Feet: Zori Sandals: Traditional wooden or straw footwear that resemble flip-flops.

Weapon: Wooden finished Shirasaya Katana: An old Katana, nothing special other than the well-kept sharpness of the blade.

Accessories:
-Dazaneg's Magic Bag
- Ink Gourd: A gourd that stores Ginjo's ink. DO NOT DRINK.
- Japanese Brush: Used as Ginjo's variant of a Pen for the Scribe Sub-Class.

 

[LadyOfStars]

Name: Adrian Vino/Okami

Age: 18/20

Nick-names: N/A

Race: Wolf Fang

Gender: Male

Class: Lvl 35 Samurai

Sub-Class: Lvl 27 Animal Tamer

Overskill: (Locked) Alpha Call - Created from his Wolf Fang race and Animal Tamer subclass, Alpha Call allows Adrian to howl, which will summon nearby wolves to temporarily assist him. The wolves are not tamed however so they will attack players other than Adrian, making this Overskill more risky than others. Wolves can also refuse to answer the call or attack Adrian if’s they are a higher level than his subclass.

Personality:
Adrian is a fairly withdrawn person who enjoys being alone. Calm, cool, and almost always in control of his emotion, Adrian isn’t the typical teenager. He of course has very little regard for the rules, of school, state, or society. He isn’t an ambitious person, and he isn’t very active unless he has to be. Adrian is best described as content and his recurring state of melancholy makes him seem less so. He does enjoy things like video games and music as they’re distractions, but he tires of them fairly quickly.

People, no matter their species, are Adrian’s least favorite things in the world. He doesn’t trust easily and keeps most people at a distance until he’s known them for a considerable amount of time. He has trouble forming bonds of course, but when he does become attached to someone he does anything for them, including laying down his life. Loyalty is something that Adrian takes very seriously so things like broken promises and lies really piss him off.

Character Backstory:

Adrian pack-like mentality is actually very common amongst members of his family as they’ve been involved in the animal care business for several generations now. Adrian grew up with several dogs around the house which not only allowed him to become very acclimated to canines early on in life, but also caused him to be a natural lover of animals like the rest of his family. They viewed animals as members of the family and treated them like they would treat a human, sometimes better. Adrian spent his childhood helping out at the family’s animal clinic and learned to help with things like treating their wounds. Oddly enough he ended up spending even more time with the dogs than he did with his family, which no one found strange until he started doing things like sniffing family members or barking at strangers.

As he grew older he dropped some of the embarrassing traits he had inherited from his canine family. Instead he became a bit of a troublemaker and the people at his school labeled him a bad boy for constantly getting detention or getting into fights. While he had stopped barking at people Adrian found himself wanting to prove his strength against others that thought they were stronger than him. So he fought with school bullies and jocks who thought that they were top dog. Family cousins that he went to school with often rallied behind him in his fights to ensure he won, solidifying the pack mentality and his status as the boss.

When he turned 18 and graduated from high school in Italy, Adrian and his cousins moved to Japan to expand the family business. While there Adrian started to play Elder Tale. At first it was a way to network for their business with livestreams and whatnot, but then it became a real hobby and his second favorite way to pass the time. He had just reached level 25 when the Catastrophe happened and stole him from his family. Since then he has been working hard to level up and build a name for himself so that he might find a temporary pack to fill the void in his life.

Character Appearance:

Adrian stands at a perfect 6 feet tall, no more, no less. His body is also well toned with a decent amount of muscle. His skin is smooth except for a few places; on his face Adrian has two scars. One going downward left across his left eye, and another going in the same direction, but across his mouth, on the right side. Adrian's head is boxy but still angular, with a strong jawline. His head is also narrow, giving him a long face. Because of the shape of his head, he also has very prominent cheek bones and shallow cheeks.
Adrian's eyes are slightly almond shaped but still a little rounded and soft. His eyes are a bright shade of emerald green, with specks of gold all around. His eyebrows are bold, but not thick, adding a sense of drama and strength to his face. Adrian's lips aren't big but they are a nice size and his mouth is a medium width. His lips, despite having a scar on one side are still soft and supple. Adrian's hair is a dark brown, but in the right amount and right type of sun light it looks much lighter. He keeps it cut shorter on the sides, but never too short, long enough to tug on. He keeps it longer on the top, causing it to hang down in his face most often in a soft way giving him a kinder look.

Atop his head there are two wolf ears, a dark brown in color, matching his hair.
All across his body, Adrian has a collection of colorful, floral, and spiritual tattoos. Right upon his throat he has a lotus tattooed in orange and blue shades with arrows pointing downward. The rest of him is covered in similar colors and patterns and designs.

Adrian's wardrobe consists of materials such as leather, denim, flannel and cotton. Some would say his clothes are a bit country, but he somehow manages to stay modern and in style with his wardrobe.

Extra: Tamed animal is a Lvl 20 Dire Wolf with black fur. Goes by the name Shiro.
