Position Vacant: Soul Reaping - Graveyard Shift | OOC/CLOSED

[WaRtArIa]

Renee: "You just said something, mate."

Also... one question.

How come everyone else can use a specific magic type like hemomancy and pyromancy even though we're just supposed to recite some shortened incantations derived from a book? I thought we were similar to wizards in that we can use almost any sort of magic, minus stuff that is "too powerful" or exclusively for some other species.

No we aren't. Like I said, a Reaper's primary means of combat is their scythe. Magics are supplementary, however powerful that is. That's why a Reaper's magic type is specialized, not jack-of-all-trades. I'll reveal more when IC got going, because the characters are supposed to learn how to harness magic after the first arc.

Don't worry, it's not that long.

Oh. I'm sorry for the confusion.

[Luminesa]

I don't mean both, just one or the other. But okay. Don't worry, I am aware of what's blasphemous in the Church. I just wanted to know if my character could JUST a Hunter of the Church. But I see now. Aight.

Cool. I explained it like that because I was worried that someone would take Church Hunters as a part of the chaotic end of good, while they are actually on the lawful side of good.

Oi, that's some top quality anime shit there, you know?

True.

I like lawful good.

Personal Profile
Name: Sigmund Brandt
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Appearance: (Image)
Scythe Name: Verlen
Scythe Type: Striker
Scythe Appearance: Can be split into two for a dual wielding saber and dagger
Magic: Pyromancy
Background
Education: Hunter's Woods High School
Relevant Experience: Sigmund is the youngest child in a family with four children. His family is quite doing well on the financial side, his father being a lawyer and his mother a journalist. Despite being the beloved baby of the family, his parents are more focused on his older siblings, namely the eldest, due to the three being in college or in high school. He grew up being overshadowed by the three, only being appreciated by his third sibling and brother.

Yet one would wonder, that isn't enough to turn a child into a delinquent, right? Perhaps not. You see, Sigmund looks up to his mother. Her mother is a journalist who is brave enough to cover stories that the newspeople prefer not to talk about. That resulted to her own undoing when she covered a story about a certain governor who's entangled with a messy web of corruption. The said politician was imprisoned yet his influence wasn't. Weeks after his imprisonment, Sigmund's mother was found dead and, according to the autopsy, was tortured before dying alone. Sigmund was in his early highschool years that time and it visibly shook him. His father tried to push for this case as another weapon against the governor yet the governor left the cold shackles of imprisonment, free from the accusations of the public.

Sigmund started to fall away from his studies and into the grasps of bad influences. A group of no-good students accepted him and provided him comfort, comfort between souls of misery and scars. His relationship with his family soured, until he found himself renting an apartment to get away from them. Perhaps it's for the best. Perhaps it was the unknown forces of the universe's way of helping him execute his goal and desire.
Personal Strengths and Weaknesses: Sigmund is pretty strong as the numerous skirmishes that he experienced with his other delinquent friends turned him into a veteran of pragmatic combat. He still has a passion for learning, especially when it comes to social sciences. He is, however, quite temperamental and gets into fights easily. He is usually rude, which is usually the reason why he can't get jobs, yet after some time his rudeness comes off as a facade of his own soft and weak self.
He is also vulnerable if ever his glasses were removed, only being able to see within close distances.
Goals: He wants to be a lawyer like his father so that he can avenge the death of his mother.
Theme Song: Let Me Hear
RP example: Awww Sin, you remember me right?

Scythe Name: Blaster
Scythe Type: Emitter
Scythe Appearance:

Magic: A support buff that increases accuracies of everyone who using Emitter-type scythes for a shot duration of time, about 5 minutes.

Background
Education: Samuel J. Hunter Industrial High School
Relevant Experience:

Born in Hunter's Woods, from an American father and a Japanese mother. His parents met when his father was a soldier stationed in Japan and his mother was a member of Justice Department as low-level employee. They met, they fell in love, they married soon after his father retired and went for residence in Hunter's Woods, where his father worked for the local law enforcement.

Of course, his childhood wasn't so bad after all. His mother and his father are a kind and caring parents, taking free time for fun and cared him with compassions. He has both of his mother's compassionate nature, and his father's...reckless and aggressive personality, which involved him with fights here and there, usually with the other Asian ethnicities such as the Chinese and the Koreans. The Japanese community in Hunter's Woods has mixed feeling with his parent's marriage since it means he was a half-half, but so be it. He grew up to be academically normal but physically strong and a skilled kickboxing practitioner.

While he was able to went to the Hunter's Woods, the Samuel J. Hunter offers field professions and able to work after you graduated. After some heavy persuasions, his parents reluctantly sent him to the Samuel J. Hunter. He made friends quickly, and able to showed himself adept in fights. He eventually graduated from the Automotive and set his sight to establishing a career in Hunter's Woods as a mechanic.

However, since it needs more than just some money, he realized he needed part-time jobs first in order to make his dream true, and thus while he searched for it, he found a notice for employment from Glutton's Diner.

Finding no alternative for now, he applied and hopes that he will get the job.
Personal Strengths and Weaknesses:

While Naga is skilled in automotive field, physically strong, and skilled in kickboxing, he is sometimes prone to being too reckless and aggressive. Diplomacy is never his strong suit, so he usually prefers or has the tendencies to punch his way in or out. Nevertheless, his personality is strong in compassion and kindness, but he tends to be jerkish sometimes. Academically-wise, he is not a smart or a stupid person, just average.
Goals: To establish Warren's Automotive Shop and make it a big business.
Theme Song: Ai Yo Kienaide - City Hunter

Age: 17
Gender: M
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance:

Scythe Name: Grimoire Noir (A cheeky, if not perverted book that speaks in a sultry, female British Accent) and Grimoire Weiss (a boorish and (probably) disturbed book that constantly wants to kill things if it isn't yammering on about Shepherds Pie and Haggis, he also speaks in a High Scottish Accent)
Scythe Type: Emitter
Scythe Appearance:

(Image)
Nior is on top, Weiss is on the bottom

Magic:
Support Magic (Noir): Barriers, Strenght Buffs, Speed Buffs, etc.
Defensive Magic (Weiss): Traps, Debuffs, etc.
Background

Education: Hunter's Woods High School
Relevant Experience:

The kid brother of Mitchell Blair, Robert mostly remained in the background of his family scene. Unlike his brother, he was more academically gifted, something his father and brother gave him trouble as he possessed little to none of the combative abilities of his brother, and even though he a year younger than his brother, he had yet to reach the height and physical stature of his brother. Which isn't helped by the fact that he suffers from Vitamin D Deficiency to the point where his body outright rejects any and all forms of Vitamin D.

While Mitchell and Robert don't get along from time to time, the two show an unnatural knack for working together and at times, pulling off the biggest pranks Hunter's Woods has seen. But where his passions really lie are in the weird and occult. Robert founded the Western District Paranormal Society and has been doing a lot of research into the past of Sunset Gates, which is helped by his volunteer time at the Town Library. He would also go hiking in the surrounding woods, when he wasn't running from the other people who went to Western.

He felt he had a rather normal life, but when his brother got a part time job, his world changed. He felt at uneasy around his brother, and when he tried to tell his parents about it, they dismissed it as an overactive imagination and told him to grow up. He began to drift further and further apart from Mitchell, and became desperate to prove that there wasn't something right about his brother.

After his brother dissappeared though, his parents were devistated. His family began organizing searches for Mitchell but after months of fruitless effort, they gave up and moved to Hunter's Woods. There Robert did his best to pick up the pieces and kept his hobbies alive, trying to put roots down here, but he felt like an outsider. So he began spending more and more time alone in his room or in the woods outside of town.

It wasn't long after that he noticed a job advertisment for "Soul Reaping", and his curiosity was stirred. He ended up going to the Glutton's Diner and picking up an application, partialy for extra cash, and partially to try to find out what really happened to Mitchel.
Personal Strengths and Weaknesses: He cannot process vitamin D and so his bones are weaker than that of his brothers, he also has a limp from when he broke his leg as a child and suffers from mild Asperger Syndrome, he has an IQ that approaches 175, and can mentally process math equations, riddles, and sees patterns faster than any human
Goals: To be the first one in his family to go to college and earn his Masters in Economics

Magic as primary? I don't think that's supposed to be how it works...

[WaRtArIa]

I believe there is a specific magic type that is used in your tome, like hemokinesis, pyrokinesis, or the like.

The tome is a spellbook.

And the spellbook can only fit like, one fucking spell.

I know his scythe is a scythe. I don't have a problem with that.

It's the tomes that get me.

I thought only one incantation actually fitted in there? I mean, how can so many spell types be in just one book?

[North Arkana]

I think you're missing the point. I'm trying to figure out why he's trying to use a pair of tomes as his scythe. Because a scythe is independent of magic, so a scythe shouldn't be something like a tome, used solely for magic.

Well, at the time it made sense, he lacks the physical prowess of his brother, but instead relies of tomes for his combat capabilities which admittedly, him being a little bit of a pacifist, extend to support and defensive abilities.

If the tome only able to shoots magical projectiles and not a real tome like the ones used to cast magic, I have no problem.

Well essentially yeah, except as stated they buff allies and debuff opponents and deal in more passive combat such as trap using Roberts Mana for power and his body as a conduit.

What? If it's an Emitter-type scythe it should only be able to shoot magical projectiles, right? Scythe types aren't just limited to form. It's also functionality and the Reaper's fighting style. Which is why I said "the scythe is the reflection of the Reaper's soul".

Ah. I see now. Then it's not allowed. Unless you want to make that as your magical capabilities later on in the IC, then I would have to say "No" to that.

Though, what I could do is just have the books as conduits and use Rainbow Prism as that kinda last resort attack that has the possibility of killing Robert.
