Master and the Beast

[MysticWolf]

I started this at SPPF, and thought I would bring it here ^ ^

Master and the Beast

Plot​

?It moved?

Free me?.

?You think it will remember anything??

Release me?.

?Be quiet?

Come to my aid?.

?But we should do something?

It is your only purpose?.

?Wait for it to awaken first?

It is what you were created for

???

Release me!

It awoke with a start and found itself looking up into the faces of two young lads; both in which looked bewildered and frightened at its sudden burst of energy. One had light brown hair and hazel eyes, his pale flesh covered in a white baggy shirt and beige trousers, his feet were leather clad and his face was scarred in multiple places. He bent down to look the thing in its eyes and by doing this emitted a loud yelp and a thrust of protest from the beast.

The other lad; clad in the same type of clothing, but with blond hair and blue eyes, pulled his companion out of reach of the beast and glared down at it. ?Be careful, Yuvei; it is not safe!?

?Yajin, it is harmless, it is just scared, that is all? The younger of the two stated, bending down once again and ran a hand through the beast?s mane ?I wonder where it is you came from?what is your purpose of being here, I have seen none of your species around these parts?

?Purpose??? The beast muttered

?Yajin, it spoke!? The younger replied gleefully, looking up at his older companion.

The older still looked uncertain of the beast but surprise graced his features also, and he bent down to examine the beast further. ?Hmm, it is a great specimen, but still, I am weary of it?.?

?Yajin, you worry too much? The younger chuckled, he had withdrawn his hand from the beast?s mane and was now standing once again at his companions side ?Come, let us take it back to the village and-? he was cut short as the beast let out a loud growl and lashed out, knocking the two lads off of their feet and onto the ground.

The two looked in fear up at the beast as it loomed over them, threatening to attack them both?.but alas it did not and only muttered a few words ?Purpose. Release him. Free him!? before running off up the steep slope of snow and out of sight.

The two lads took a few moments to catch their breath before scurrying to their feet, kicking up snow in the process and dashing off in the direction of the village.

*~*​

?It has grey eyes and matching mane and fur; it bared sharp claws and fangs and stood at around 10 feet tall. It was hideous, but Yuvei insisted on helping the creature instead of killing it on the spot. The last words it uttered were ?Purpose, release him and free him??

The villagers listened in bewilderment at the tale of the beast that ran to the hills; many uttered curses to the beast and accused it of all the sins that had befallen upon them in the week. Sheep had gone missing from the fields, hens had been slaughtered and fields had been raided over night. The villagers promised the beasts death, but then no one knew of who would perform such a dangerous task.

?It must be killed, I agree with that thought, but by whom??

?That is still left unknown, my friend. But whoever agrees to such a dangerous task, may God bless them and may all the luck aid them through thick and thin? Yajin answered, his head lowered and his shoulders hunched.

That night, a dark cloud loomed over the snowy plains and mountain peeks and whatever resigned in the mountains awoke and howled laughter throughout the land. ?I live!?

Sum up​

Now?I hope you all get where I?m going with this, to sum it up in a few sentences:

You are a volunteer, who has bravely agreed to hunt down the beast and whoever is taking charge over it. You have to travel over mountains, through forests and also defeat monsters that have been newly acquainted with our world. You will gain weapon upgrades as well as magic powers and summons spells. Stats will not be an issue seeing as it would be too much trouble to keep up with, but you will all receive your own personal spells and summons, depending on your personality, description and weapon?.now I was going to have elements so that your character could concentrate on just one, but the decided that it would be a tad hard to defeat certain enemies that you encounter; so everyone will be having the same, unless times come for when I feel certain spells will be needed for certain members of the RPG.

All the information below is common sense, but I suggest you read it. It would help if you have played Final Fantasy games or something of the sort:


Magic

Now Magic is not introduced to you at the start of the RPG, you will just have your weapon; but when the time comes you will become owners of some powerful magic which will upgrade along the way. You will start off with basic spells such as Fire, Ice, Lightning and Earth, all at basic starter levels; they will then grow and become more powerful as the RPG proceeds. Further on you ill be introduced to more powerful magic such as Holy, Shadow and light, these will also upgrade thought the RPG.

When you are introduced to such powers, I will tell you.

Using Magic

Using magic drains power, therefore meaning, you can use it over and over with out it affecting you. Be realistic and thing of how much power the magic you use will drain from you. If it is a small amount of magic used, then there will be a chance you could use it again, if it a huge amount of magic used, then you will need a rest from it. It?s common sense really.


Summon

Well summon is the calling of magical beasts who will aid you in battle, they are strong and will each have their own element and therefore are best used in certain situations. Now, the summons you receive at the start will be weak, but strong enough to take out earlier enemies, when you proceed, you will gain other summons that will be stronger and towards the end of the game, you will receive ultimate monsters who will most probably be either Holy, Shadow, Light or non-elemental.

You will all receive different summons most of the time, but there will be times when you will each receive the same summons. Also, there will be times when only one member will receive a summon, but I can assure you that I will try to make it as fair as possible and give you all the same amount of summons.

Now the summons you receive will depend on Personality, Weapon and Description, mostly on Personality, but there will be times when you receive summons that suit your description and Weapon.

Summons use up a great deal of energy, use common sense, you may only use them once or twice during one battle.


Weapons

Now you will each only have one weapon to specialize on, through the RPG they will upgrade or you will receive new weapons but of the same type; for example if you specialize in Swords, then your Weapon will forever be a sword, there will be certain times where you must use things that are appointed o you by other characters.

I will tell you when you receive new weapons or when they are upgraded.


Armor

Unlike weapons, Armor can come in all shapes and sizes and can protect you against multiple things. It could be a chest plate, a shield, a bracelet or a necklace. Armor will not only give you protection over physical attacks, but it could also protect you against certain elements or conditions. For example, your character could protect his/herself against Fire by equipping an armor that protects against that certain element. It can also protect against certain conditions like Poison ext.

Conditions

This could vary from the common lack of sleep and cold to poison from enemies or harsh burns from certain beasts and spells. You can help this by using armor or an item that you can buy from stores in villages along your way?or even a good nights rest. The conditions are listed below as are the items that can help cure them and the effects of said condition:

Name: Poison
Effect: Makes your character extremely ill and makes it hard for said character to fight, could cause death if left to long.
Remedy: Antidote, Remedy, Spell (Cure, full heal)

Name: Burn
Effect: Makes your character unable to fight and could cause death if not tended to.
Remedy: Burn heal, Remedy, Spell (Cure, Full heal)

Name: Paralyze
Effect: Makes your character unable to fight and paralyzes them in till tended to.
Remedy: Soft, Remedy, Spell (Cure, full heal)

Name: Silence
Effect: No it doesn?t make your character loose their voice. It makes your character unable to use magic.
Remedy: Echo screen, Remedy, Spell (Cure, Full cure)

Name: Confuse
Effect: Confuses your character and could vary from hitting allies or banging into objects
Remedy: Physical hit from either ally or enemy, Remedy Spell (Cure, Full cure)

Ok, that?s all that will occur at the start of the RPG, but more will come if it proceeds.

These conditions can all be healed by a nurse.


Items

Items vary; they can be potions, or artifacts that you wish to trade for information. When you use healing items, they will most probably be in the form of Potions. You may carry ropes, anything as an item, just as long that it is at a decent size. You start off with a few Potions and Antidotes.


Beasts

Now, beasts will normally never have an element, but there will be some along the way, mainly the greater monsters. But these beasts will all be weak against your weapons, no matter what the type.

Beasts will elements will usually show this through the type of attacks they use, or the type of magic, some will also show it in their appearance. Now the problem with these types of beasts is that they will absorb/not be affected by certain magic. For example, if a monster is of an Electric attribute, then it will not be effected by Electric attacks, to tell whether it is immune, you will have to pay attention to whether it flinches or not.

When you proceed through the RPG, other characters will tell you of the beasts that roam the lands around them, so by this, you will be able to tell what attacks would work best against such a beast.

Greater beasts

Greater beasts are the bosses of the RPG; they will take much longer to kill than that of normal beasts. Most of these beasts will have its own element, making it immune to a certain type, though most will also have a weakness. For example, if it is a fire type, it will be immune to fire, but week against ice and water.

Greater beasts?don?t have to be beasts, they could be human, but still, each work in the same way, but Humans may not have his/her own element.

The more the RPG proceeds the harder these battles will get.

[MysticWolf]

Sorry FireFox not accepted. First of all, you?re grammar isn?t up to standard, you have to use capital letters, after every full stop there is a Capital letter.

Now as for you?re sign up, you?re description lacks detail, you have not stated you?re eye colour, height, build, skin and you need to describe you?re clothing more. I doubt you?re character will only be wearing a red coat in such weather.

You?re personality is also lacking detail. You need to describe you?re character in more detail and describe how she acts around others and also what she feels most of the time.

You?re weapon is a bit high ranked. For now, common weapons are all that is aloud, you have not mastered magic just yet, the same goes for you?re items; all that is needed at the moment s something like Potions and Antidotes.

The ?Other? part of you?re sign up also needs some work. Describe her background better; if you are going to be a thief, you need to state how you became one in the beginning.

You have the idea of what I mean by Sample RPG, but it is lacking in description. Fist of all, you may want to start by describing the Hound, then describing how you?re character feels. Also, you make you?re character seem a bit over powered for a beginner. Watch punctuation as well, like watch where you put you?re full stops and commas. Also, it may be better if you didn?t use first person, but that is up to you, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

You have one more chance to edit. If it is not bettered by then I cant accept you, sorry :/

 

[Chikara]

ok, i changed it. im not sure if its gonna be good enough though.

 

[Kurosaki]

Must... save... good... RP... XD Anywho, I may not be up to par right now because of a truckload of stress, but I'll try my best ^^;

Name: Askan (Native enough? XD)
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Description
5'11" with short red hair and blue eyes. Askan wears a thick coat made out of wolf fur, and is stuffed with the goose feathers of at least 20 geese. As far as leg wear goes, he wears yet again, a thick pair of pants, only made out of moose fur, again stuffed with goose feathers. For his footwear, he wears boats made out of rawhide, and coated with squirrel fur for warmth. Finally, he wears a black, tuque-like hat made out of an unknown material.

Personality
Askan's personality is very... unique. He is very rash, and angers easily, but also has a nicer side that takes a while to find within him. When you discover that, he is a fun loving kid who likes to make people laugh, and has a care-free attitude. It usually takes huge amounts of time to gain his trust, but there have been exceptions.

Weapon
Askan isn't very well armed, as he carries only a thin, silver dagger for protection, that was passed down through the generations of his family.

Armor
For protection, he has only a small sheild that is placed on his right wrist to block weak attacks.

Items
Moose meat x3, flint, sack, canteen, arrow

Other
At the age of 7, Askan was abandoned in the middle of the forest by his parents, and was forced to survive through the harsh conditions in order to survive. Over this time, he has become close to nature, and knows some hunting tactics that he made up on his own.

Sample RPG
Four eyes, ten legs, and it was purple. "This is going to be hard." I muttered sarcastically to myself as I drew my dagger, waiting for my foe to attack first. After only a few moments, it did just that, leaping at my with all 10 legs stretched out, revealing sharp claws. The creature was only a wee thing, but it still had the ability to do some major damage to me. I took a roll to the left, swung around, and thrusted my arm, along with the dagger, upwards into it's now revealed gut.

 

[Anacortes]

Name: Sephra
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Description: Brown eyes, dark blonde hair, her skin is very light and she is 5'1" (whichever ' is first..)tall. She wears a heavy dark blue overcoat, so her shirt is not visible mostly. When inside rooms, she has a green T-shirt. She always wear light blue pants that is thick, protecting her from the wind.
Personality: She likes to be alone, and is constantly depressed. When she is around other people she likes to talk, but if they yell at her slightly she leaves them. She likes to be worried, but risks everything if she could have a good friend.
Weapon: A bow and arrow. Natives like using those right?
Armor: A sacred ring she found on the ground some time ago. She discovered it has the power to heal and to take away the life of another to heal herself or others.
Items: 3 Potions that can make the beast unable to move for some time.
Other: This is supposed to be my history right? Well she grew up with her parents, who were mean to her. They left nothing behind when they died. She had to survive on her own. When her parents were around, she never did anything with the world around her. She is still a newcomer somehow, and constantly need directons.
Sample RPG: Sephra grunted. She struggled to get up and get at the Ruby Hound. "You shall pay!" I wanted to run away, but I didn't want to be called a coward after I return to my village. I grabbed another arrow and shot it into the beast's heart. It's weak. Run away now, or drain away it's life. Suddenly, it's eyes shown and lunged towards me. I used my ring to protect me. "Phew, that was close." I whispered and took a rest.

 

[Flatulus]

You'll have to try hard than moving the RPG to another site if you want to stop me signing up!

Name: Lilac Blossom All-Weather

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Description: Her hair is a absolute black, is quite fluffy, and only goes almost as far as her shoulders. Her eyes are a very creepy green colour, that make it clear that she could be a powerful friend or a powerful enemy, and that she would be uncomfortable to be around either way. Her body looks quite fit, and she is flat chested.
She wears a tight fitting black, except white a oval covering most of the belly and some of the chest, complete outfit that covers everything but her head and at a distance appears to be fur though on closer inspection that is just an optical illusion.

Personality: She likes finding weaknesses in others and aggravating those weaknesses until other become aware of them. To those who are 'immoral', she tends to 'help', making the person more immoral, or guiding the person down the path of self-destruction. To the ones she considers 'moral', she become friendly, and helpful, though they may still play a trick, or show a small flaw in the person, to teach them humility.
She has to keep their promises, and especially follow her word of honour. She?ll become self-destructive if they break a promise, and when someone else breaks a promise, she?ll become a deadly enemy.
She will not accept aid from those who are not willing. Those who wish to aid her, must do so of their own free will. She is very loath to ask for help, and as such, most aid must come from another's initiative.
She is emotional and very vengeful. She will lose their temper at the slightest provocation. Once someone has earned her enmity, the she will begin enacting revenge that can become quite extreme. On the other hand, those who have earned her trust and loyalty will see a friendship that can last through many trials.

Weapon: Metal claws on each hand (Attracted to wrist, going over the hand, then starting the sharp claws. Useful for combat, but mainly used for easy climbing)

Armour: A silver amulet of unknown origins, on it is a ruby shaped like a nine tailed fox. It offers protection no real protection, just helps her injures heal and other conditions dissipate faster, sometimes curing things that normal would be fixed naturally.

Sample RPG: Can I please skip this, you know what my posts are like, if you?ve forgotten think length ranging from 200 words to 2000 (Note that this are the extremes).

 

[Lily]

well, well...look who's here? *hugs the other RPG mod* hi Pickles! XD

Name: Mistral Valentines

Age: 18

Gender: female

Description: Quite strange in one's eye, with her peculiar choice of clothing, it's no wonder she is mistaken for someone younger. Mistral has gleaming curls the shade of copper cascading down shortly under her neck, stopped abruptly by the piece of clothing (similar to a poncho) perched up on her shoulders. Its fabric is deep beige with azure beads and strings laced around the ends. Underneath is a simple blue dress with the ends lightly laced with silver beads clinging onto short, tanned leather strings. The dress reaches all the way to her brown boots, wider than it is tall, which clumps heavily against her feet. The queerest thing about Mistral are her eyes- shimmering emerald with flecks of silver if one observes carefully, often flickering with mischief. Her slender frame is rarely shown due to the 'poncho,' as well as the wide band circling her waist, holding her twin swords.

Personality: Despite her age, Mistral has created her own foundation of trust and stubborn loyalty. No matter what the circumstance, she would most likely be the first to help and defend with everything, almost a bit too eager. That setback causes a confusion between the difference of allies and foes. No one can blame Mistral, though. She acts younger than one would have suspected, with her cheerful and mischievous smile. Her childish demeanor is not to be mistaken, however. No matter how she acts, Mistral is an observant and intelligent person, picking up things first before anyone else. But she doesn't like to show it. Her nature resides in optimism, equality and fairness.

Weapon: Twin swords not much bigger than half her arm's length. The handle is gold, studded with rubies and intricate designs woven all over. The blade, as one would have expected, is pure silver with the tint of opaque running along its side. It is kept by the wide band circling her waist.

Armor: A dangling bracelet, made of various assortments of small silver trinkets, tiny specks of precious gems embedded in them. It hangs from her right wrist.

Items: Flask of water, potions x3, antidotes x3, a silver cross, small, black leather bible, and a thin coil of rope

Other: None that I'm aware of.

Sample RPG: Must I?


hope this is okay...unless you wanted me to do the sample RP. Tell me, then, okay? ^_^;

 

[Shadowfaith]

Fox: Sorry, but still disapproved. You still haven?t added Capital letters at the start of sentences and after full stops and you?re description could still take some work.

Daiaki: I have those times all the time XP, but not to worry, you?re sign up is accepted. Though I was surprised at how fast you defeated that monster, but be warned, their harder than that in the actual RPG, when it starts. I like you?re description by the way ^_-

Anacortes: Sorry, disapproved. You?re characters clothing does not match the RPG setting. Think, native, in the snow, no Next, Top shop, Billabong, Animal or anything, and around back before medieval times. Also you?re personality is a bit short and you?re armour is a tad over powered; what I want at the start of the RPG is something like a bracelet or necklace, with no great powers, because the armour, along with the weapon, will develop through the RPG. Also, I noticed that with you?re sample RPG, you go back and forth between 1st and 2nd person, I would advise you to stick to one or the other and also work on the description you give, even though I have given you the name of the Ruby hound, I still want a description. One more chance to edit.

Flatulus: Aww man, I thought I got rid of you! XD Kidding, kidding. Anyway accepted as usual, and I give you permission to skip the sample seeing as I already trust you from so many months of RPGing with you.

Pi: *Glomps the Pichu* And there is me thinking that the whole Pickles ordeal was over with XD Anyway, accepted once again, and I also give you permission to skip seeing as you I trust you just as much as Flat.

Thank you all for joining below is a list of all the accepted:

Daiaki
Flatulus
Lily Pichu

2-3 more may join and then we start ^_-

 

[Shadowfaith]

Really sorry for the double post and all, but I just wanted to ask if this could be moved to the Advanced RP Area and I also wanted to post my sign up:

Name: Sahama Abeytu

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Description: Sahama is fair skinned and has brown flowing locks that come to rest just below her mid back. Her eyes are a forest like emerald that tends to stand out amidst her pale complexion. She stands at around 5?8 which is quite tall amongst the villagers, but then quite small amongst others of different villages. She has a small frame but well tones seeing as she spends most of her days lifting the heavy weights that resign on her farm, which gives her a perfect combination of speed and strength. Her preferred clothing consists of the common white baggy top and beige baggy trousers, but a green cloak covers most of her thin frame and is held together by a brown leather belt around both her chest and her waste.

Personality: Sahama is quiet and concentrated. She likes to listen to the sounds of the wild and get on with a job in silence, therefore meaning she is a wanderer and enjoys exploring new lands. She will plan her strategy before attacks, but when called for, she will rush in unprepared; she can not stand to see her friends and family suffer knowing that she can do something to help, even if this means putting herself in danger of being killed or harmed.

Weapon: Sahama carries one lone Samurai sword that was given to her by a Samurai warrior as they ventured past their village. The Samurai and Sahama got along well and the Samurai, who refused to give her his name, gave her his sword as a memento of his stay. The sword itself has a silver blade, which has rotted somewhat over the years and has a black handle with gold carvings. It is not much, but it has come in handy in the past.

Armor: Sahama wears only a Silver pendant that resembles that of a Dragon passed down by her mother. T has not been used in battle and therefore its defensive powers are still unknown.

Items: 5 Potions, 2 Antidotes, 2 burn heals and a Remedy.

Other: Nope

Again sorry for the double post. Also I would like to add that if no more join that we will start and I will be accepting late sign ups.

 

[Kurosaki]

You could've just edited and PMed me ya know, XD

Anyways, Flatulus will be added to ARP ASAP, but it could take up to a day.
