[Sl4cker]

but if you die in the game
u dye n rill lyfe

[SOLDIER First]

People die when they are killed, Slacker, this isn't a fucking joke.

[Indication that I'm not actually salty, but joking.]

[Sl4cker]

[SOLDIER First]

Just because Wilson hates himself doesn't mean he's a hateable person.

[Powder Miner]

well, clearly he is hateable by at least one person

[TCM]

BananaSpider's and Dan & Bleebo's are not part of any plot (not that I am aware of) and simply serve as diversions between actual plots.

Honestly, Dan and Bleebo's is kinda creepy with the VR that will not let you out.

Immersive gameplay! Plus, there are warning signs. This isn't the first time wild shit has gone down on the station, either.

I never intended for SB's (or anyone else for that matter) to have explicit sexual content, only that it would be a realistic portrayal of his life in his chosen setting. It could be implied, sure, but just as sex (like getting a job or making a large purchase) is an important part of life with consequences.

[SOLDIER First]

well, clearly he is hateable by at least one person

That guy was an asshole with, presumably, anger issues and slash or a superiority complex. Not substantial evidence of hatred.

[kj1225]

((Seriously, how is that game legal. It seems like it'd be extremely addictive, and also cause an identity crisis.))

((It's actually kinda horrific >.>))

((That is very much a true statement.))

Little late, but it did at least warn about that last part.

[Adragis]

well, clearly he is hateable by at least one person

That guy was an asshole with, presumably, anger issues and slash or a superiority complex. Not substantial evidence of hatred.

Who?

[Sl4cker]

tcm has successfully broke wilson, guys
woo

[Adragis]

Can someone please (honestly) explain to me how rape was implied?

[SOLDIER First]

Wilson is with platoon of men. They are travelling through the jungle, killing people (most likely enemy soldiers). Wilson's commander offers him women. Wilson requests seven. The women don't want to be there.

[Adragis]

Oh, he was offered them

That does change things

[Powder Miner]

i have no idea what I'm doing :V
might have Evridiki investigate

[Chevaleresse]

Spoiler: Haruka (click to show/hide)

Name: Chihiro Haruka (surname/given)
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Magical Girl)
Sex: Female
Appearance:  Hair of a dark blue shade and eyes of the same color. She's of average height and build, though she hasn't reached her full adult height yet. She has hair a few inches past shoulder length with somewhat messy bangs, usually worn down except for a green ribbon tied in the back. Usually dresses semi-casually, with nice blouses and pants, unless she's in her school uniform, which, completely coincidentally, looks exactly like the ones from PMMM.

When transformed, she wears an outfit that can only be described as a Battle Ballgown, with a heavily armored upper body and faulds that become a long, divided skirt. The metal is a sort of silvery-cream color with the padding beneath matching her hair. The chestplate, bracers, and faulds are positively covered in what look like images worked into the metal itself with precision, which vary but usually represent classic tales of honor, brotherhood, chivalry, etc.
Personality: Shy, methodical, and analytical - for a middle school aged girl. Occasionally breaks this to do something that might seem wildly impulsive; sometimes this is calculated, sometimes this is simply a result of being emotionally overloaded. Rather idealistic and optimistic, believing that the world is a fundamentally good place and always trying to see the best in people and events.

Level: 6
EXP: Presumably 500

HP: 150 (186) [These are (Base CON+Level+CON boost from armor)]
Init: 0+d20

Stats: (0/38, +4 per level, capped at 5+level*1.5)
Constitution: 14 (20)
Dexterity- 0
Intelligence- 0
Resistance- 11 (20)
Strength- 5
Synergy- 8 (14)

Perks:

Magical Girl!: Haruka is a Magical Girl. The listed actions, stats, etc. are all for this form. She is effectively immortal as long as her Soul Gem is not destroyed, but if she goes more than 100m or so from it her body will cease functioning and appear, for all intents and purposes, dead. Destruction of the Soul Gem is immediate death barring truly extraordinary conditions. Her Soul Gem has 1/3 of her health and RES, and can only be attacked while she's physically dead barring special circumstances. If she physically dies, she will recover a (GM-determined) time later, magically reconstructing herself. Also grants the Transform action.

Friends!: The wish that caused Haruka's transformation has given her the ability to create semi-permanent magical constructs. Having more than one or maybe two when not transformed is straining, but she can summon up to (3+1/2 level) while transformed. If she reverts (whether manually or via being incapacitated) with more than one active, all but one lose power and will fade away after about a day of remaining in this state. The remaining powered construct (referred to as dolls henceforth) can act with limited independence should Haruka be incapacitated, working to defend her and taking orders from recognized allies that do not interfere with the former.

Regeneration: A magical girl's body differs in a fundamental way from a normal human, and is much easier to repair. 10% HP regen per turn.

Analytic: Haruka's careful analysis of enemy motions and development of counter tactics make doing the same thing twice much less effective against her. Enemies take a penalty to targeting her with the same action multiple times. This penalty is equal to (5+5(n)^2)%, with n being the number of repeats with stacks decaying at a rate of once per turn passed after taking an alternate action. (Example: The opponent makes a basic attack four times. The fifth would take a penalty of (5+5*(4)^2)=80%. If the enemy spent two turns making ranged attacks instead, the melee penalty would drop to (5+5*(3)^2=50% for the third turn. If the enemy made three ranged attacks, the melee on the fourth turn would only take a penalty of 25%. The total penalty for attacking her with an action repeatedly is 0-10%-25%-50%-85%-130%, if you don't want to calculate it.)

Equipment:
Weapon: Haruka's Gunlance (Lv. 6)
Type: Melee/Magic (see Shelling)
Effects:
-Shelling: The weapon holds five magical, explosive shells. Each of these do a fixed, somewhat low amount of damage based on Haruka's Synergy and the level of the weapon ((Lv+Syn)/3, rounded down) They can be fired all at once or one at a time, with the former causing a nontrivial amount of recoil. Each shell must be "manually" reloaded (it's more of a specific motion made with the weapon than cracking it open and loading more shells.) Firing one shell and reloading would be a standard action, a full burst and reload would be two. The shells detonate shortly after exiting the barrel; this is not a ranged attack, though it will hit multiple enemies if they are very tightly packed. A full reload is considered an offensive action.
-Piercing: This weapon is good at targeting weak points and hitting large enemies, giving it an increased critical rate of 15% (This, of course, does not apply if it is used to slash. Compared to default 5%.)
-Bound: This weapon does not exist without being summoned. It cannot be lost and can simply be resummoned when disarmed, and cannot be given to anyone else or used outside of Haruka's transformation.
Damage: d16+STR (5)
Description: Appears to be a lance crossed with some sort of revolver, with the back end appearing much like a traditional lance with a revolver's chamber built into it, and the latter half having a blade running beneath a barrel rather than simply coming to a point.

Armor: Haruka's Shield (Lv. 6)
Type: Heavy (3 RES)
Effects:
Bound: See above.
Magical Growth: All of Haruka's equipment is tied to her magical power. Provides Resistance equal to her current level. (+6 current)


Damage: d12+STR (if I'm understanding correctly)


Appearance: A tall, seemingly metal shield capable of hiding Haruka entirely, provided she crouches a bit. Pairs with the Gunlance. Not quite as taxing to lug around as one might expect.

Armor: Haruka's Armor (Lv. 6)
Type: Heavy
Effects:
-Bound: See above.
-Magical Growth: Provides bonuses to Constitution equal to her level, and a MHP bonus equal to Level^2 (36 currently.)

Bauble: Haruka's Soul Gem (Lv. 6)
Effects:
-Magical Growth: Add this item's level to Haruka's SYN.
-Soul Container: Haruka cannot truly die with this item intact. She can reconstruct a new body given enough time and safety, which takes a GM-determined amount of time, if her body is killed. The Soul Gem has [7] RES and


Actions:
Basic Attack: Haruka makes a Melee stab, slash, or slam with the Gunlance, or triggers the Shelling mechanism.
Basic Defend: Haruka crouches behind her shield and devotes her magical focus to warding herself, staying alert for incoming attacks and adding her SYN to her RES.

Summon Doll: Creates a remotely controlled doll from a predetermined template.
-Level 2: She can upgrade a doll instead, adding another doll's stats to it and fully healing it. This still counts as another doll.

Command Dolls: Haruka spends her turn giving orders to her dolls. The dolls continue to act on the orders until they are fulfilled, the dolls are destroyed, or a new order is issued.  This skill grants 6 AP and 6 SP to each summon, in return for only reacting in response to this skill, and restricting their summons per turn to 1.

Counter - Haruka defends, adding her SYN to her RES, and immediately counterattacks the first opponent to attack her.
-Level 2: This counter can be used to reflect ranged attacks made against Haruka. She makes a (Syn/2) roll to determine whether the attack is deflected or reflected (success=reflect), taking any penalties that would normally be present for a ranged attack.
-Level 3: Haruka can now counterattack twice in a turn, regardless of the success of the initial counter.
-Level 4: Haruka can now counter three times.
Gamble: Haruka halves her defense roll for the next attack or turn (whichever is sooner) and takes two offensive actions this turn.
-Level 2: Also adds her Syn modifier to the damage dealt, given the attack lands.
-Level 4: Penalty reduced to halving her res.
Haruka sees an opportunity and takes a calculated risk to push an enemy off balance or deal a decisive blow.

Taunt: Haruka recognizes the tactical benefit of allowing less durable allies to attack freely. She attempts to force any hostiles in the area to attack her this turn with a Syn roll.
-Level 2: This effect lasts until something draws their attention away, such as someone else stabbing them, or until Haruka is incapacitated.
-Level 3: She can make another Syn roll to attempt to keep the attention of an enemy should their attention be drawn by something else. Success grants her a 70% chance to maintain the taunt.
Combat is easier to control from the center. Magical strings pull enemies toward Haruka, forcing them to attack her rather than her less sturdy friends.

Slam (Passive): If Haruka lands three hits in a row (or two doll hits and then her own), the third stuns the victim if it fails an opposed Constitution save. If the target is immune to stun, deal an extra 2dSTR damage instead.
Haruka's attacks can strike with sudden force, leaving an enemy reeling.

Guarding Stab: Haruka jabs at a target from behind her shield, dealing half her normal damage but gaining the benefits of a basic defense.
Ever cautious, Haruka balances offense and defense, sacrificing a full jab to remain behind the safety of her shield.


Transform: Haruka swaps between her magical girl form and her human form. Her human form possesses all of her passives, but can only perform a dSTR melee attack unless otherwise armed, with Friends! being limited to a single doll, and still possesses this action.

(0/10 action points, 0/5 main actions, plus basic attack/defense)

Inventory: A wallet containing a small amount of money and a school ID card, and a small number of Grief Seeds.
 

Spoiler: Attack Doll (click to show/hide)

Name: Attack Doll
Type: Magical construct
Appearance: Looks like a small human or humanoid, about two feet tall, with skin matching the color of Haruka's armor. Wields a crossbow and a sword about as long as it is tall. This one looks like its wearing armor, based on whoever the doll's appearance is mirroring. (Usually Haruka.)

Suicide Attack Lv3: The doll rushes an enemy and explodes, dealing damage based on its remaining health (1/4 of base+current.)

Okay so she's got a little MonHun flavor too.

Spoiler: Volx (click to show/hide)

Name: Volx, the Void-Blade
Age: Very old.
Gender: Varies.
Race: Pretty much a sentient blob of energy.
Sex: Energy doesn't have a sex.
Appearance: A cloud of violet energy in the general shape of a dragon, about four feet long, though it can expand and contract.

Personality: Volx is somewhat difficult to understand. It seems curious and quite intelligent, but beyond that, its personality is actually shaped in part by how the others around it or the one it has attuned itself -should- be. Without being given a proper medium to posses, it communicates somewhat clumsily, with messes of images and sensations hijacked from the memories of the beings it has interacted with thrown together in an effort to convey what it's trying to say. Given a host, it will conform, for the most part, to what the host thinks Volx should sound like, talking telepathically in a language the host understands with the same fluency.

Level: 6
EXP: 500

HP: 30+(0+1)+(1+2)+(2+3)+(3+4)+(4+5)+(4+5) = 64 [Each level adds CON+Level HP]
Init: 4+1d20

Stats: 0/38 points to spend (Stat cap of 4+Level. +4 stat points every level.)
Constitution: 4
Dexterity- 4
Intelligence- 10
Resistance- 10
Strength- 0
Synergy- 10

Perks:
Incorporeal: When not in weapon form, Volx takes halved damage from purely physical sources. However, it also cannot interact with the world physically. This immunity does not apply to magical weaponry.

Attunement: Volx can attune itself to a chosen wielder, given said wielder accepts. Volx's consciousness takes up residence inside the wielder's head, giving them advice and offering a certain amount of psionic protection. They split damage evenly until one or the other reaches critical health, at which point the non-critical partner begins taking 3/4 of the damage. It can also substitute the host's physical attributes for its own, should it somehow be forced to make a check in this form. Those attuned will show signs of it increasingly over time, starting with their pupils appearing to actually shine with violet light (should they have them) and progressing toward hair and irises starting to be tinted toward the color, their voice seemingly echoing slightly before they actually speak, and occasional sudden revelations of deep primordial wisdom which they may or may not be able to process, along with other possible side effects.

Vastness of Knowledge: Volx doubles the result of all checks having to do with knowledge.

Bound Weapon: Volx, given a wielder, can shift into a weapon that said wielder is proficient with.  It vastly prefers to stay in these forms for reasons unknown, but can shift to a more innocuous form if necessary, such as a circlet. This weapon has properties described below, and being used as such allows Volx to add 1/4 of each of its stats (rounded down) to the wielder.

Equipment: It's virtually impossible for Volx to interact with the world physically unless it, itself, IS a piece of equipment. This piece of equipment's stats are listed below, instead.

Weapon: The Void-Blade
Type: Varies
Effects:
-Magic Weapon: The Void-Blade adds its SYN to the wielder's damage and accuracy (when applicable.)
-Shapeshifting Weapon: The Void-Blade can take on the form of whatever the user is proficient with, and thusly can be used for any form of attack.

Damage: 2d9+Volx's SYN+Wielder's relevant offensive attribute
Description: It typically takes the shape of an oversized sword, with an amethyst-colored triangular blade. The handle appears to run up the back of the blade much further than is necessary.  (Picture this sword, but purple.) It will shift into similarly over-proportioned weapons if the wielder is incapable of wielding the blade effectively, even changing to projectile weapons or even things that might not be considered properly weaponry if it cannot locate a suitable template in the wielder's mind.

Actions:

Basic Attack - Mind Bolt: Volx deals its SYN score in damage to a target, assuming the target is capable of thought in some capacity (i.e. "receive input, make decisions.") Only usable outside of weapon form.
A simple, but effective brute force attack on a target's mind.

Basic Defense - Dissolve: Volx disperses its being over a greater area, adding its SYN to its RES for the turn. Once again, only usable outside weapon form.
Volx's incorporeal nature allows it to protect itself from harm in ways most creatures cannot.

Shift: Volx changes form, either between weapon forms or to its "normal" draconic form.

Eye of the Predator: Volx boosts a target ally's critical chance by (6*SYN) for the round. This boost increases to (7*(SYN+1)) if used on the wielder.
-Level 2: Increases the percentage multiplier by 1.
-Level 3: Criticals inflicted under this effect now deal 2.5x damage, rather than 2x. (If the weapon normally has a higher critical rate, this bonus is multiplicative; a weapon that normally dealt 3x damage increases to 3.75x damage.)
Killer instinct is suddenly endowed with ages of refinement, becoming keener than a blade and allowing one to strike where it will bring down the prey fastest.

Advice of the Strategist: Volx boosts all of the target's rolls by (INT/2 -1) for the round. Increases to (1+INT/2) when used on the wielder.
Whispers of age-old wisdom guide you in all your endeavors.

Instinct of the Guardian: Volx allows a chosen target to dodge one attack this round.
-Level 2: After the attack is dodged, add Volx's SYN to the target's RES until the round ends or it is attacked again, whichever comes first.
-Level 3: Both effects now last for two attacks.
-Level 4: The target may now counterattack on the first dodge using a basic attack.
A quickly sent hint and a burst of energy save you from harm.

Energy from the Void: Volx heals a target for (SYN+dINT) points of damage.
-Level 2: Adds 1dINT to the heal.
-Level 3 - Sympathetic Healing: Volx is healed for half of what it heals others for.
Volx draws life and vitality from seeming nothingness and gifts it to you.

Intellect Crush: Volx temporarily ceases granting a SYN bonus to its wielder to mentally crush a target, dealing (dSYN) damage and dazing it, subtracting (SYN/2) from the victim's RES until it can succeed on an opposed INT check, calculated on the start of the target's turn.
-Level 2: The target must succeed on an opposed INT check to end this effect, with a 10% bonus to its roll per turn it has been afflicted.
Volx enters a mind, whether the mind is willing or not.

Swiftness of the Wind: The target takes an action this turn instead of Volx.
Energy infuses your limbs, making them feel light as a feather.

0/5 starting actions, plus 0/10 action points

Spoiler: Heroic Spirit Oda Nobunaga (click to show/hide)

Name: Oda Nobunaga
Age: 47 at death
Gender: Female
Race: Servant (originally human)
Sex: Female
Appearance: Long, black hair and red eyes. Wears an outfit that's reminiscent of a military uniform, though it doesn't seem to match any particular known uniform. Apparent age varies at will using Demon King.
Personality: A cheerful woman, innovative and rather eccentric, to say the least. Fully capable of getting very serious and fully capable of immediately going back to cheery. Not afraid to do what she has to in order to achieve her ultimate goals, and seems to take equal satisfaction in being loved and feared.

Level: 20
EXP: lots

HP: 30+(1+1)+(2+2)+(3+3)+(4+4)+(4+5)+(5+6)+(6+7)+(7+8)+(8+9)+(8+10)+(9+11)+(10+12)+(11+13)+(12+14)+(12+15)+(13+16)+(14+17)+(15+18)+(16+19)+(16+20) = 416
Init: 18+1d20

Stats: 0/94 points
Constitution: 11 (16)
Dexterity- 16 (42)
Intelligence- 17
Resistance- 16
Strength- 13 (19)
Synergy- 21 (47)

Perks:

Magic Resistance B: Increases this servant's resistance to all magical effects by 25%, including damage.

Independent Action B: Allows the Servant to stay materialized with no spiritual link for up to two days, if combat is avoided. (Mechanically, also allows the Servant to become incorporeal at will, making them impossible to perceive outside of magic and invulnerable to harm but simultaneously rendering them incapable of doing anything but perceiving the world and moving about. This takes an action to use, so can't be used to defend against an attack if it's in progress.)

Military Tactics B: This Servant was skilled at military tactics in life. Passively grants an (INT/4 rounded up) bonus to all attack and defense rolls made by allies.

Charisma B-: This Servant was a great leader during their lifetime. Doubles the rolls for things considered leadership skills, like giving inspiring speeches or leading armies. However, this version is Rank Down, so results may not be as positive as normal.

Demon King A: A skill similar to Innocent Monster, which represents a person whose artificial reputation was more famous than their actual self (e.g. Vlad III.) However, this Servant differs in that they accepted the title during life, and so can activate and deactivate it at will, receiving the benefits without the costs. Grants a (LV/4) bonus to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, and Synergy. Also allows the bearer to alter their physical appearance and attributes, to a small degree.

Tenka Fubu Innovation: A variation on the Innovation skill, which is possessed by those who brought about revolutions in this era. This skill represents "subjecting the old with the new." Allows the bearer to add 3(INT/4) to their attacks, and doubles this bonus against a target considered to have significant Mystery or Divinity.

Three Thousand Worlds E~EX: Upgrades Nobunaga's basic attack to the unique action of the same name.
Equipment:
Weapon: Nobunaga's Arquebus
Type: Ranged
Effects:
-Bonus damage against a target considered to have "Riding" skill. Not actually considered in her damage calculation, though, since her methods are rather unique.
-Can be used as a catalyst to summon Nobunaga, but for how long?
-Can be equipped as a bauble. The thing's a museum piece. When used in the bauble slot, you can't attack with it.
Damage: 1d8+DEX
Description: An old matchlock firearm with a plain wooden stock. It's sturdily built, but showing its incredible age.

Armor: Nobunaga's Uniform (Level 20)
Type: Light (+1 RES)
Effects:
-Magical Growth: Boosts DEX and SYN per level.
-Bound: Cannot be equipped on anyone else.
Actions:
Basic Attack - Three Thousand Worlds (Three Line Formation) - Nobunaga summons a massive number of arquebuses to attack the foe with. The attack in total deals a base of 6d4+(3INT/4+DEX). Don't ask how DEX is applied if she's not physically aiming most of the guns.
-Level 2: This damage can be divided evenly between up to three thousand targets.
-Level 3: Grants an extra attack.
-Level 4: This has an inherent property of Anti-Riding. Deals an additional bonus equal to SYN to anything considered to possess the "Riding" ability.
-Level 5: This Anti-Riding property extends to hampering the mobility of targets, if only via sheer volume of fire. Provided this targets three or fewer enemies, each target is considered "suppressed," taking an additional 4d4 damage if they move or launch a ranged attack.
-Level 6: Grants a third attack.
-Level 7: Adds two extra dice.
-Level 8: Adds a fourth attack.
-Level 9: This attack has an increased critical rate of 15%.
Basic Defense: Nobunaga forces targets to make an opposed DEX save or miss this turn with evasive actions.


Sword Strike - Nobunaga attacks with a quick swing of a katana, dealing STR damage in addition to a basic attack.
-Level 2: This attack increases the critical rate by 15%.
-Level 3: 25% critical.
-Level 4: 35% critical.
-Level 5: 45% critical.


Innovate! - Nobunaga finds a way to weaponize something nearby. Make an INT check and let the GM decide what, exactly, the weapon does.
-Level 2: Whatever the weapon does, add (INT/2) to it.
-Level 3: Can be a defensive "weapon" too.
-Level 4: Adds INT to the effect.


Shout Orders - Nobunaga waves her katana about like a baton while shouting orders to her allies. Doubles the bonus of Military Tactics B for the turn.
-Level 2: Triples the bonus.
-Level 3: Quadruples the bonus.
-Level 4: This is apparently inspiring enough to heal for 1d6.
-Level 5: 2d6 heal. Really inspiring?


Inspire (Fear) - Nobunaga is almost incomprehensible at times, with her rather flexible thought patterns, but damn is she scary if she wants to be. Leveraging Demon King a bit, Nobunaga terrifies nearby enemies with a SYN vs. INT roll and has a 50% chance (rolled once) of inspiring nearby allies. Subtracts/adds SYN to all rolls they make this turn.
-Level 2: Adds the ability to inspire as well at a 50% rate, with an equivalent bonus for allies.
-Level 3: This somehow works on things that can't normally feel fear, albeit at a halved rate. Innovative, indeed.
-Level 4: Increases to SYN/3
-Level 5: SYN/2.
-Level 6: 2(SYN/3).
-Level 7: SYN.
-Level 8: Now ignores normal fear immunities, though not if the target specifically has an ability to resist it.


Demon King of the Sixth Heaven - Pulls everyone nearby into her Reality Marble; a flaming, scorching hell that makes Nobunaga into an absolute power against Divinity and Mystery. Deals 1dSYN damage per turn to everyone within (rolled for everyone at once) and terminates upon Nobunaga ending it or being incapacitated, with extra SYN damage against Divine or Mysterious targets. (While it is a scorching hell, this is a conceptual attack on the being of those within, rather than literal fire, so fire resistance won't save you.) Renders the user nude, forfeiting armor bonuses, though the amount of ash and hellfire in the air means you probably won't see much.

This skill can only be activated once per battle, and lasts 10 turns, but loses a turn every time Nobunaga takes damage. (Multi-hit attacks are considered one instance of damage.)
-Level 2 - Adds a (SYN/5) damage bonus to targets considered Mysterious or Divine. Stacks with itself.
-Level 3 - Increases bonus damage to (SYN/4).
-Level 4 - Allies no longer take damage from this, though they'll still feel pretty uncomfortable.
-Level 5 - SYN/3 damage.
-Level 6 - SYN/2 damage.
-Level 7 - 2/3 SYN damage.
-Level 8 - SYN damage.
-Level 9 - Changes the die to dSYN/2.
-Level 10 - Die is dSYN.
(0/5 starting actions, 0/38 AP)
Inventory: Not much, since being a spirit makes it mostly unnecessary to carry things around.

Spoiler: Silef Asterlux (click to show/hide)

Name: Silef Asterlux
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Appearance: Black hair just beyond shoulder length, usually left to flow loosely or tucked in beneath her cuirass. Bright green eyes and fine, sharp features. Has a prominent scar running from the bridge of her nose, over her eye and above the corresponding ear. She wears silver armor worked with artistic scrolling designs and the family crest, a dragon's head in profile. This armor consists of breastplate, bracers, boots, and the miscellaneous bits of armor associated with such. It mostly serves a ceremonial purpose, hence a relative lack of coverage. She wears green livery underneath, and a plain brown cloak. She's somewhat taller than average in height, matching most men.
Personality: Honorable to a fault, with a rather short fuse. She's impulsive and prefers to lead by example, and has little patience for. . . pretty much everything. She leads by example rather than with careful planning or exhortation, charging into battles in the vanguard. Not particularly tactful, but a firm believer in acting for the good of all.

Perks:
Blessings of Lumabella: In ancient times, the Asterlux bloodline was blessed with the unique gifts of light magic. Adds her level to her SYN score.
Lead by Example: What Silef lacks in charisma or real tactical ability, she makes up for in bravery. Silef has a 50% chance to add 10% of her damage to that dealt by her allies until her next turn.
Raging Flames: Silef's spells ignite enemies, dealing 1d(LV) fire damage for 3 turns whenever she hits.
Make It Out Alive: Three times per battle, if an attack would knock Silef unconscious or kill her, that attack is dodged.
Divine Power: Silef's Light attacks consider the resistance of targets to be zero before bonuses/penalties, and enemies attempting to dodge have disadvantage. (Roll twice, take the lower result.)

-Potential: This item has an unusually large capacity for energy.

Actions: (Your attacks and abilities. these can be Magical, Melee, or Ranged and use the relevant stat. (Synergy for Magic, Strength for Melee, Dexterity for Ranged).
Basic Attack - Dance of Blades: Silef strikes repeatedly and deftly with her sword while wreathing it in flame. Deals 3d10+DEX+SYN damage, and gives a chance to dodge equal to her DEX.
-Level 2 - Silef has a chance to dodge when attacking with this skill equal to her DEX/2.
-Level 3 - Dance of Flame: Silef adds her SYN to attacks using this action.
-Level 4 - This attack hits twice.
-Level 5 - Improves the dodge chance to DEX.
Basic Defense - Wall of Light: Silef surrounds herself with a solid barrier created using her light magic, adding her SYN to her RES.
-Level 2 - Overcharge - Silef can spend 2 mana to double the defensive bonus of this skill. This can be done an indefinite number of times.
-Level 3 - She may also spend a point of mana to negate one status that would be inflicted on her this turn.


Flame Blast: Silef releases a wave of fire with a gesture, dealing SYN damage to everything caught within.


Light Blade: Silef substitutes her normal weapon for one with identical properties, but made of her own potent variety of light magic, and makes a basic attack with it. Deals an additional die of damage, as this one is even quicker to strike, but costs a point of mana to use.
-Level 2 - Sweep: The weapon may be extended using mana. Silef may choose to pay mana to strike additional enemies with this attack, with each costing one point.

Scourging Light: Silef focuses for a moment, then fires a powerful beam of light from her palm. Deals 2(SYN) damage and costs 3 mana, but reduces Silef's RES by the mana cost of this attack.
-Level 2 - Overcharge: Silef can pay an additional 2 mana to add her SYN to this attack's damage once again.
-Level 3 - This attack may be overcharged an indefinite number of times.

Meditate - Silef focuses on drawing forth more magical power. Recover 1+1d6 additional mana this turn.
-Level 2 - Inspiration: Silef's meditation doesn't really look like traditional meditation, since it is focused on invigoration rather than calm. Part of this, for her, is often making loud boasts or other similar speeches. If Lead by Example activated last turn, the bonus persists. (This cannot be chained with itself.)
-Level 3: Increases recovery to 1d6 (from 1d3).

Melt Armor (Passive): The intense heat of Silef's attacks actually degrades enemy equipment. Each hit reduces enemy RES by 1+the mana cost of the damaging Action. Midboss or boss-level enemies may roll their base RES (as in, before it was reduced by this) vs Silef's SYN to recover lost resistance at the end of their turns, as well as recovering at a rate of 1/round automatically.
-Level 2: The penalty persists until an enemy can make an (unreduced) RES save vs. Silef's SYN, rather than recovering automatically after the end of the round.

Wall of Flame: Silef conjures a wall of flames, persisting for two rounds. Any enemy that attempts to move through it or begins a turn within it takes her SYN in damage. (This applies Melt Armor as well.) Only one Wall may be summoned at a time.
-Level 2 - Wall of Light: This can be treated as a Light spell for one mana. The wall also has a 30% chance to block projectiles.
-Level 3 - Extend: Silef may pay a point of mana to cause this spell to persist for another two rounds as a free action, two if it is a Wall of Light.
