Hello.

Instead of random intermittent threads in this section, just post here with concepts/etc. you think would be neat for people to run and any XP you end up pushing towards the concept. Current XP incentives are displayed in this thread that can be applied to any concept.

[Erytheia Hellebore]

Fern is a character request for the Hellebore Company (Ignis) faction with the faceclaim of ENMA from HoloEN. A list of points in the character can be found below.

• Fern can be her first name or last name. The other name is up for discussion.
• The relationship between Fern and Erytheia is one that can be likened to Batman and Alfred - while Erytheia handles the big movements, Fern is in charge of taking care of the day to day. A previously traumatic event that both were involved in together where Erytheia personally saved Fern is the beginning of this relationship, the details of which are up to whichever player decides to take on this character.
• Background wise, Fern was born in Argus and was forced to fend for herself from a young age. She befriended Erytheia when she was studying at Sanctum across the period of a few years. After going through the traumatic event mentioned above and moving to the capital in her search for greener pastures, Fern would transfer into the Hellebore Company after Erytheia's Semblance induced injury and begin work as her aide while she was in the hospital undergoing therapy. This background is mostly negotiable - it can be replaced in most part as long as it retains Fern's initial hardship and subsequent success through hard work, and that she ends up befriending Erytheia and believing in her to the point of joining her side.
• Personality-wise, I want Fern to have elements of ruthlessness and cynicism within her, to contrast against Erytheia's more kind and soft demeanor. She also functions as a sort of ice bucket for Erytheia - when the other woman is being too optimistic, Fern is the one with the worldly experience to bring her back to reality. She should also be tiredly professional for any interaction that takes place in her official capacity as Erytheia's aide. When in private with Erytheia or with her friends or family, I see her as having a tendency to dryly deadpan with a high level of snark. Basically, the Knight in Sour Armor trope. How this is executed is up to the individual.
• Fern's focus is corporate based, mostly with regards to paper shuffling to hide their trails. She avoids combat where possible, but has her Aura and Semblance unlocked, and training with assault weapons, pistols, and her sword. I want something cool related to said sword as part of her Semblance, but that's pretty much it.

For this ad, I will be putting 125 XP from my Storyteller account, and 125 XP from this account, which means that this character starts with a bonus of 250 XP in addition to the unaffiliated template.

Name/Gender: Player Choice

Species: Human

Narrative Role: Pragmatic Revolutionary Financial Backer (Hereafter referred to as RFB)

Concept: Current heir to a huge pharmaceutical company, the RFB could simply wait for their terminally ill parent to die and inherit the company… but sees that change is coming to Mistral. Three and a half years ago, one airship crash caused a new era of chaos and anarchy due to the entire student population of Haven Academy drowning in arctic waters outside of Atlas.

All the money in the world doesn’t matter if the Grimm breach the outer wall of the capital city, and the Council have proven themselves ineffective in securing the safety of the same. When a rival appeared and gathered enough power to be a threat, instead of incorporating them into the defense of the city the leaders of the country started a war that threatened to tear apart the kingdom at the seams.

They fund and support the Revolutionary League with the explicit expectation of military support both now and down the line. Rival company shipments mysteriously disappear while on the road, and bandits just happen to unfortunately shoot down an airship or two filled with precious cargo every so often that would heavily cripple a competitor during a critical time.

Their position is precarious, however, and if their plots were discovered they would be hanged at worst and disinherited at best. They operate within the capital city, under the protection of huntsmen, but actively collaborate with their enemies for profit. They have to keep their involvement secret and play smart in order to come out of this ahead.

Additional skills for this canon role: In addition to the standard experience (1275 base + 300 extra if it’s a first character for someone who has the money to get private martial training equivalent to a combat academy) the character will start with E rank disguise and D rank wealth noncombatant skills.

Roleplaying Opportunities: The RFB will live in the capital and thus be able to interface with any Council side characters easily on the day to day, and their disguise ability will allow them to slip away and make it to the Revolutionary territory without being detected for meetings there as well. IC role makes it so that many PCs would seek out their help for one reason or another, and while it would start as a political/social role primarily you could also use the opportunity to beef up some combat capabilities over time and get involved there as well if you wished.



Name/Gender: Player Choice

Species: Faunus or Human

Narrative Role: Undercover Agent (Hereafter referred to as UA.)

Concept: The UA was a student at Atlas Academy in the snowy tundra of Atlas, but quite frankly was never a good one. They immediately fell behind their peers and never really recovered, which made perfect sense once it was learned that the UA’s transcripts from combat school were forged and they weren’t qualified to be in a huntsman academy at all. The trial was quick and the evidence was clear, but the UA was offered a choice between prison and… something else.

The neighboring kingdom of Mistral was having issues with a growing terrorist group that sought to overthrow the Council and install a new regime by way of violence and were having issues getting any information whatsoever from the inside as the moles already planted were toiling in the lowest level positions with very little access to actionable information.

The UA was good enough to be useful, but unknown to the terrorists and not good enough to be immediately recognized as a plant. While they were a failure of a huntsman trainee, they would be markedly above average for a ragtag band of peasants and would stand out among a sea of criminals and refugees. If he does his job, the charges in Atlas will be dropped and the Huntsman Academy in Mistral will be more than happy to accept him into the fold as a reward for good work. If he doesn’t… well, he gets ripped apart by bloodthirsty terrorists and the problem solves itself.

Additional skills for canon role: E rank deception non-combatant ability to be better at lying.

Roleplaying opportunities: UA will be extremely on edge initially, being spoonfed propaganda about the Revolutionaries being essentially bloodthirsty terrorists who are immune to things like reason or morality and instead participate in what amounts to a death cult. The UA will be largely around the Revolutionary League, but they will occasionally find excuses to sneak back to the capital or a Council-affiliated city to give a contact all the information they had learned so far about the terrorists and their activities.

Upon closer examination, it is completely possible that the UA finds the Revolutionary methods horrendous and needlessly violent and their resolve deepens to see them exterminated and do their mission. It is also completely possible that they instead are turned to the Revolutionary point of view and are forced to make the uncomfortable decision of choosing which side to stand on when forced to choose, especially when they had already betrayed the Revolutionary League by giving information to the Council for their entire stay.

Personal wanted ad for a characteer of the Council/Haven faction.


Character concept: I want a character with ties to one of mine: Bianca Sabbato

In fewer words: Bianca is a Haven student who used a member of a criminal gang in the lower districts of the capital. She was promised freedom in exchange for service as a huntress, but she hurt many people in the past.

For this wanted character, they should be someone from a poor upbringing. And directly harmed by Bianca’s actions. It may be someone they love dying because of her, them losing their home, a family member being forced to work for the gang, and maybe dying, that kind of stuff.

So they decided to join a huntsman academy to stop such injustices from happening to other people... And now they find their personal villain living scot-free among the supposed heroes as if nothing ever happened.

Personality requirements:

Needless to say, I want them to be resentful towards Bianca. To mistrust, call her out on anything out of line they do, maybe even hate her. I have no problem and even encourage this. I don’t want her to be easily forgiven, if at all.

But I don’t want them to be entirely consumed by their desire for vengeance. Having the character willing to go to criminal lengths to get revenge (even more if it affects innocent people) would go against the basic idea of this wanted ad.

Nastiness and being mean is fine. Singling out and trying to get Bianca into trouble is fine. But don’t make them do heinous shit. They are supposed to be a law-abiding, good person who wishes to slay monsters and help people.

Basically, I don’t want them to be a bad guy to make Bianca look better. So don’t make a bad guy


Other things: Things like name, ,species, gender, face claim, and personality are up to you. I would suggest checking the background incentives if you are particularly interested in extra XP though. 

They need to be 18-19 years old, however. Else the timeline makes no sense.


Roleplaying Opportunities: It offers a shit ton of threads with myself. I post pretty quickly and often with Bianca. So I wouldn’t have problems keeping up with your rhythm.

Bianca is generally well-liked among the council characters, here's where your character comes to shake things up and make everyone feel conflicted by introducing more morality-based nuance and gray areas if you like that kind of stuff.
