A thread for RP in the world of Harahel, a world of fantasy, magic, and adventure. Drawing on tropes from RPGs both east and west, fantasy literature, and anime, the setting is constantly in flux, decided in large part by the players themselves.To join, download the CYOA through the link and create a character. When making a build, try to include some information about your character if you plan to RP besides just the build. Optional of course, but it encourages others to ask questions and talk with you.

https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/84026815/#q84355406Well actually angel of Uzza, we've had some rather controversial angels from time to time And some demon angels
>>84362504>demon angels>pluralDare I ask how such a thing came about? Even if something tells me that I am not going to enjoy the answer regardless.How controversial are we talking here?>He had the sneaking suspicion that it involved far too much indulgence in mortal ale, a vice he was not entirely unfamiliar with himself.
>>84364774Well when a an angel falls really hard and turns into a dark angel some go all the way and go mazoku hybrid on top, and then you get some bad things of the seductress variety so watch out>How controversial are we talking here?Well there was one trying to use a combination of magic and unnatural charisma to coax the mortals into an act of revolution against the arbiters themselves
>>84364823>act of revolution against the arbiters themselvesAnd how did that whole revolution thing pan out? Banish forever to another dimension? Locked in a sealed tomb? Still roaming about and actively plotting my demise?
>>84365052Unsure, she hasn't shown up in years so probably safe? That or long term plotting which would be a problem if she goes undetected longerThe demon/angels have been a lot less subtle
>>84364774Do note that mazoku aren't technically 'demons' as a separate race but more a subspecies under the tenshi/angel classification that is genetic rather than spiritual. A fallen angel here is the dai-tenshi, with mazoku being called demons but that may be a bit of propaganda to justify hunting them for their demon cores as magical power sources. There are some that are inclined to evil innately, but that varies wildly in intensity from mischief to the typical thoughts of iniquity and wickedness one would associate with them.
>>84365306There is a mazoku/dai-tenshi around who keeps control over her slaves by draining their souls and keeping them in a secure location for destruction in case they betray her though
>>84365198>The demon/angels have been a lot less subtleYou are making this sound like an ongoing issue?
>>84365499if you're interested I could point you in the direction of one but currently she's integrating herself into the nobility by means of upcoming marriage so care needs to be taken to avoid international incident
>>84365710>Twice damned nobilityI'm sure they get along swimmingly, well I guess they must if they're getting married.Little quarter demon, quarter angel, half mortals>Doomed to end up as either chuuni villains or protagonist main charactersSince you mentioned international incident, I guess it would be prudent of me to ask what kind of nobles we're talking about here?>Please no evil empires shopping for divine blood super weapon babies...
>>84366216>I'm sure they get along swimmingly, well I guess they must if they're getting married.Well you know when the bride has pretty heavy charm and mind control powers that's the hard part, figuring out if everyone genuinely likes each other
>>84366334>>84366216and as far as type of noble, Encorite prince, one who's known to be fairly benevolent at that, seems to think he's redeeming his bride
>>84366334Mind control is quite troublesome, the fact that it sounds like common knowledge isn't very reassuring either.>>84366351At least since I first arrived in Encore it can't go all wrong, their people are worthy of many blessings.>It could indeed go terrible, horribly wrong. As he did not have the best track record with demons, or nobles who turned out to be less benevolent than they were "known" to be.
>>84366739Well it might be possible to save this particular one from a demon, but who knows
This better be leaving certain Tenshi be.
>>84368230You can go support the Tenshi against the evil succ temptress but then you might fall for them
>>84368356Dangerous vile succubi...we wont fall or that trick...>If one listens carefully one can hear the foxtwins subtly quake in their boots
Made a sheet to use at the start of each replychain.My idea for arcane is that aside from him maybe being able to kinda parry/counterspell magic, he would be able to maybe shoot back the energy that is thrown at him, and then charge the demon core like a kaio ken to boost his strenght, speed and endurance. So he would technically be a t4 so long he can keep up the magic.Oh yeah, as I was checking the thing, I didnt realize there were 30 free fate points so I ended up adding steal, starting bonus and Shekels.>>84320807Still decent I imagine, he is well-rounded in general so he could do most things fine enough. The only real problem with him would be magic
>>84369314Woa, that's really pretty, honestly that's enormous effort And yes there's not just 30 free fate points, there 2x 30 free fate points, did you check both of them? Good physical stats with Arcane to back it up is pretty nice honestly and it's an interesting implementation, there's been plenty of people who did self-buffs through various means so that's absolutely a valid interpretation Generally speaking all magic is relatively vague which opens up a lot of potential for writing and personalization, which given the freeform nature, is a boon
>>84366351Unless you're speaking of another, I do believe you have me mistaken. I have no fiancée or bride at present. My sister is in something of a complex relation there regarding an Arian and a Nocturnal, but that's a matter for another time.>>84366739Most splendid, though there are those that would abuse their power, that would abrogate the rights of the people, those that should one be disabused of the pleasantries would find their scale-fallen eyes witnessing a monster in all but flesh.>>84369314Arcane to convert offensive spells into raw energy to empower oneself is a fun concept beyond the typical counterspell/spell parry options. I'd imagine it may stress the body similar to kaio ken, especially if directly overloading the demon core, which could add a lot of tension to scenes.Also, very nice graphic. Clean enough that one can read it at a glance while getting across all necessary info without going through a long description to keep things precise.
>>84369573>Unless you're speaking of anotherMost likely, it's more to the south and you would not be so silly as to be engaged to a Lily
>>84369314That's looking pretty good. Good call on Aqua Affinity. You'd be astonished at how often that could come in h->Kuzu>Reverse Summoning>Reap What You Sow...th-things might be a touch rough for you b-but I'm sure you can overcome!
>>84369627That poor bastard...
>>84369454>did you check both of them?thanks for that, got rid of Kuzu drawback and added A Home.>>84369573I was imagining aside from counterspell, he could basically throw it back to them, since you could technically redirect the magic back at them if you can manipulate the magic.>>84369819i imagine without Kuzu the other 2 are fine or not as bad.Well, I think with this I will start, I havent really RPd before a few stuff I did in the past that didnt lasted. Hopefully I dont suck at it.
>>84370884Spell reflect would be within the purview of arcane, though some experience in spatial magic with barriers and portals may assist you to that end.As for Reverse Summoning, best you stay hydrated. Don't be surprised if the succubi leave a parting gift or two; I'd suggest getting to know some dedicated curse-breakers. Reap What You Sow might take a little bit of careful social maneuvering lest you be forced to sleep with one eye open.
Arena host.Perhaps it was sprites whispering to (you) in your dreams, nymphs reflecting a vision in nearby waters, the wind and leaves pointing you towards a destination. But you, earthworlder, are gently herded by nature nonetheless to find a letter made for you. "A contest in the wilds awaits you against your true kin, your kin of past brought here and reshaped just like you.Duel among them to be the victor of each pack and you will be rewarded.It will be bloody but not fatal. It may be perverse if desired, until one yields. Enchante can be agreed upon but not assumed uponIt will be savage and unrelenting as the wilds, the true home of harahel.To enter, run your hands along the runes and whisper - "I beseech the ferocity and purity of the primal metals"You have five days to accept but it may begin sooner.SincerelyGaia & Terra Forma, Viceroys of the Twilight Court. Custodians of Dusksilver" (Ooc: respond to enter the arena. You have 5 days to post your character (it doesnt have to be their full build)Matches will be 3-4 man free for alls. If all combatants agree to an enchante, an enchante applies. Fights will continue until all but one of the combatants are rendered unconscious, mentally broken, or yielded.As these are pvp fights, post your characters stats, banes, boons when their fight starts. As this is group rp fighting i will remind be clear with intent and ooc consent is important. Do not assume one will win, losing in style can be just as fun.If combatants cannot decide how to resolve an outcome of a event together, i can roll to determine it if they collectively wish as a tiebreaker.The first to drop each fight is eliminated and joins the spectators. But there may be losers fights if people wish.Those who attempt to harm spectators or hosts will be made an example of and it wont be pretty. Accomodation is provided so people can interact between fights.Yes this is a tournament arc)
