That's the vibe I'm going for, yeah. It doesn't need to be strictly medieval but that is the general feel of it.

Magic does exist in this world so a lot of what they do have is enhanced by it.
 
Shoot, sorry guys, alerts messed up.

Hello! I understand that you guys aren't at 12 writers yet, but I just wanted to check and see if you guys are still accepting apps? No hard feelings if you just want to stick with the characters you've got, though!

No worries! We have reached our starting amount of roleplayers, but not our max. Feel free to write a bio and I’ll take a look!

@EeviumZ I was wondering if I Could submit Natalie's bio, she's being held by the villain or something like that.

Hm.. I would let you write the bio right off the bat, but I’m worried being held by the villain might mess with the plot in some way. You could change why she’s been missing, and it’ll be fine. If you want to stick with the villain thing, I’ll discuss it with @EeviumZ and see what we can do.

Time to complete the asylum trio.


Name: Tenno Fletcher

Gender: Male

Age(Must be age 12-17): 15

Sexuality (Optional?): Straight

Wield(be descriptive): In his right hand he has a 10inch chef knife with a leather handle wrapped around the base of the blade. It's blade is a clean silver. It may look like the weakest choice if weapon, but Tenno's control with the blade makes up for it. All blood that it draws, can speed up Tenno's healing/stamina, if he is damaged.

Current Abstracts:

Red speed: He has extreme speed, making him one of, if not then, the fastest of the bunch. He sacrifices all his defence for speed and strength. However his strength may not match his speed, but it is pretty powerful. If he takes damage of any kind his speed will severely decrease.

Red death: now let's move onto the more scary/interesting ability that Tenno possesses. This allows him to make constructs of a red energy like material. This red energy nicknamed "kutsuki", does not seem to have a limit to how much he can create. Although he can make anything with this, Tenno only sticks to making knives with this ability since where would the fun be if he made other objects? If you are cut by these blades, you will expect to feel severe pain this pain is unnatural, it can only be described as having molten metal cool inside you before having the metal ripped out. The only drawback to this is that the longer he uses this, the quicker his stamina depletes itself. And though these constructs are hard, they can still be destroyed.

Final Run: this ability is Tenno's strongest yet most dangerous abstract. On the brink of death, no matter how mangled his body may be. If he has his heart left, he can enter this mode. When entered, his blood rushes through his veins around 50 times quicker than it should. His heart is working a lot faster than it should making his body faster and stronger. His already weak pain receptors are now gone, meaning he can endure any kind of punishment. But the longer he holds this form, the faster his blood pumps around his body, to the point where his heart can't keep up and it simply explodes within his chest.

Appearance: standing at 5'6 with pale skin and a skinny brittle frame, Tenno looks exactly like a shadowy figure you'd see in your sleep paralysis. His hair is chalk white and messy, with his face being lightly freckled. The only thing that gives him any sort of colour, is his red piercing eyes. He often has a sadistic smile across his face making him look insane. His arms are scarred, from the amount of knife games he plays.

Clothing: He wears a black waist coat with a white long sleeved shirt under. On the bottom he wears a black pair of trousers and a black pair of laced shoes. This is all topped off with a black fedora with a white band. On his hands he has a pair of black leather gloves. His sleeves are rolled up, exposing the many scars he has.

Personality: His personality is so random it's impossible to tell if he is being serious. He always has a disturbing attitude where any problem can be solved if you stab it hard enough. He can casually make threats and attack someone. He is calculating and always plays in his favour. This would explain why he is lonely. In combat he always tries to make his opponents angry to make them lose their composure. He likes to play around with his opponents before going in for the fatal blow. His favourite hobbies range from playing the violin to playing knife games, he is extremely good at both.

Other(Optional): He has remarkable pain tolerance. ASDFJKL

Thank you so much! Please let me know if there's anything I can tweak.

Name: Maia Archwood
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Sexuality: Lesbian
Wield: A black recurve bow that reaches about 60 inches in length. The material that it's made of is quite sturdy, so she can hit someone with it in a pinch or otherwise use it at close range, but she mostly uses it to fire projectiles that she manifests out of her own magic energy. She can use this bow to fire them reliably about 150 yards (~137 meters).
Current Abstracts:
  • Ammunition Generation: She can use her hands to form projectiles made from a purple-colored energy. She can throw them, but it's more effective for her to use them in combination with her Wield. They can range from pebble-sized to about that of a medium-sized dog. The larger it is, the more it drains her energy, however, so she compromises at about the shape and size of an arrow.
    • Whatever the size and shape of the ammunition she creates, she can't control its movement with her mind. In other words, if she fires an energy arrow, she can't alter its course with her mind, she needs to rely on her aim.
  • Supernatural Reflexes: She can sense even very slight changes to the air currents around her, which allow her to react extremely quickly to moving things, whether this means dodging attacks or quickly adjusting her bow to aim more precisely at moving targets. It's not quite precognition, but the speed at which she can sense movement can seem like it.
    • When she's trying to sense air currents from a specific target (particularly when aiming her bow at it), she needs to be as focused and still as possible, which can make her vulnerable for a short period of time. Other interferences can get in the way and delay her reaction time, such as movement from allies, wind, or wild animals, so she needs to focus tremendously.
  • I'm thinking about giving her another one for the future (after some development), but I'm not sure what it'd be yet. If I do, I'll check in first for sure.
Appearance: Her hair is straight and black, having been cut short into a pixie after she got annoyed with how her previously long hair interfered with her abilities. Her skin is fair, and she has a lean, athletic build, with green eyes.
Clothing: The clothes she wears tend to be fairly close to her body, as too much extra movement can interfere with her Abstract. This outfit consists of a short-sleeved black shirt, black trousers that are a bit more loose, and leather boots. She also wears tough, brown leather archery gloves that cover her index, middle, and ring fingers, as well as her forearms to double as bracers.
Personality: Maia is quite reserved and can have trouble expressing her emotions. This is partly from her need to stay calm and focused in order to use her abilities, but for the most part she is just an introvert. Despite this, she really does enjoy the company of other people, and can become very anxious about protecting those close to her. She prefers to be stealthy and avoid conflict rather than rush into a fight, and holds very few qualms about ambushing or attacking from afar. Even so, she's a surprisingly big adrenaline junkie, and becomes more lively and outgoing when she's on a rush.
Other: ASDFJKL. Also, I do have Discord.

Accepted. I like the slightly split personality involving her abstract.

Accepted! It’s always fun to have a stab-happy and disturbing one in the group. (Side Note: Battles between him and Neon could be so cool, since they’re both so fast and use weapons mostly limited to close range. It truly would be a duel xD. Although, I do think that Neon is still the fastest one of the bunch.

Thank you so much! Please let me know if there's anything I can tweak.

No tweaks needed. I would have a problem with the near precognition, but because she’s so vulnerable while doing it and needs to be extremely concentrated, I see no problems.

Base form yes, but when Final Run is activated he'll be superior for like 10 min before his heart explodes. XD

Over here we have the “who’s really the fastest” duo.

Now, take a look over there. No, there, in the corner, just stalking people and not giving a crap. Yes, that one. OH CRAP RUN AWAY SHE SUMMONED A FRACKING COBRA
 
What are these "awakened forms" again, sorry?
I think Neon is technically the only one with an awakened form. He basically just uses his full power and “awakens”. Basically, he pushes his soul, which is the power and cause of his wield, past the limit, and becomes insanely powerful and strong. @Schrift007 ’s OC kind of has an awakened form as well, but it’s a little different than Neon’s.

They're very very little ways Tenno can survive his "awakening"( it's more of a last ditch attempt than awakening), and that's by being sedated so his heart rate can settle down.

OHWOWIDEA.

What if we make these “awakened” forms a plot point? We could give all (or the majority of) the main cast something like that, but it would affect all of them differently. They likely wouldn’t discover them until later in the story though. Just a thought...

If we do that, well, there goes Neon’s fun and unique aspect xD.
