Bluefield / Re: A Fateful Encounter
« Last post by Dante on December 28, 2018, 08:57:20 am »
The fair haired beauty that glided in on golden wings caught the devil hunter's eyes as she entered with all the grace of an angel; he couldn't believe something from the heavens would choose to drink here of all places. Seeing as he struck out with the barmaid it couldn't hurt to try his luck with this new patron, so he gathered up all his courage made his way to her side leaning on the bar as he decided to open up with the cheesiest pickup line he knew. "I didn't figure somebody like you would be drinking in a dump like this. Lemme just say I've never seen angel fly so low." As he brashly belted out his one-liner he offered a cheeky smile that seemed enhanced by his roguish charms. Having learned from past experiences Dante left his sword by his seat so it couldn't be used against him if things went south.

Bluefield / Re: A Fateful Encounter
« Last post by Lady Daybreaker on December 28, 2018, 08:45:31 am »
Soon enough the heavy, front doors were kicked open as a winged woman with a tall and svelte frame almost glided her way into the bar. Her light armour and hint of chain mail clinked quietly every once in a while and her long blonde hair flowed behind her in semi-defiance of the gravity's demands. Her helmet had no gaps, slits or indentations of any kind, being smoothed over and solid-looking, to others it completely obstructed her face but she was able to see those around her.

With another light flicker of her wings, the Valkerie smoothly seated herself at the bar-table, a few seats away from Dante's left. A sword with scriptures of a foreign language carved down its blade remained on her back as she used her right hand to knock on the bench to catch the barkeep's attention, "A bottle of mead, if you will." she requested before pausing and slowly exhaled. A moment or so the ever slight tilt of her helmet to the side signified that she had cast a look towards Dante's direction before finally turning to look in front of her again.

Bluefield / A Fateful Encounter
« Last post by Dante on December 28, 2018, 08:21:11 am »
It was a dreary night as the eerie full moon hung over the quiet town of Bluefield; the streets were empty as most were in there beds or drinking away their woes at one of the many taverns and inns the city provided to it's citizens. At a particularly wretched dive that barely passed for a bar sat a stranger in a red coat nursing a tankard of ale with a rather disgruntled look upon his face; a large sword with a screaming skull on the hilt sat against the bar while he piped up in his rough and raspy voice. "Hey, you call this a drink? This is more like warm **** than an ingestible ale. It's not even worth the silver I paid you, how about you roll over there and break out the whiskey and I won't ask for a refund." The waitress couldn't believe her long elven ears as she crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks; however she eventually met with his demands as she couldn't afford to loose another customer as times were hard.

Pouring the fresh drink the stranger in the crimson coat smiled raising his drink to the young lass as she turned up her nose at him and left to take her break. Giving an annoyed sigh the white haired man couldn't help but lament on his terrible luck with women however he had no idea of knowing it was about to get much worse when the next female patron entered.

Rules and Guidelines / The World Of Siren's Sphere (Introduction and Lore)
« Last post by Dante on December 28, 2018, 07:18:31 am »
Introduction and Lore

Welcome to Siren Sphere a world of swords, sorcery and fantastical creatures the likes of which you've never seen. Siren's Sphere takes place in the fantasy realm of Fortuna, a medieval land blessed by magic and great prosperity. There are three prominent cities that dot the landscape each inhabited by a different species, the humans dwell to the north, the animal folk live in the woods to the east and the supernatural such as monsters and demons made their dwelling in a dark kingdom to the south. While there are often tensions between the three factions all three are kept in check by the matriarchy who rules the land of Fortuna from their vast palace in the centre of the province.

This royal family is made up entirely of sirens, the most powerful and influential magical creatures in the land; while their abilities are far beyond that of the frail humans, animal folk and most supernatural creatures, they owe their continued domination of the continent to a powerful artifact called the Siren Sphere. This magical orb greatly amplifies their powers of influence and persuasion easily allowing them to form pacts and gain the loyalty of the three neighbouring cities. This treasure has been passed down through the siren family for generations allowing these corrupt seducers to control the fate of Fortuna. The Siren Sphere only responds to siren's of noble birth and thus has ensured their rule over the land will remain absolute. While we may be forced to live in the shadow of sirens this world is ripe with gold, glory and untamed lands waiting to be explored. So what are you waiting for brave adventurer? Call your comrades and come venture fourth into the realm of Siren's Sphere.

Character Biographies / Lady Daybreaker, the Lost Knight Sourcerer
« Last post by Lady Daybreaker on December 28, 2018, 06:13:26 am »
Name:Aurora Freya Bergström
Nicknames/Alias:Lady Daybreaker
Race:Valkerie
Gender:Female
Age:Appearance of a winged woman in her late twenties, however her true age is said to be in the hundreds.
Speech:NavajoWhite for speech
Cornsilk for thoughts
Height:5'9"
Appearance:Lady Daybreaker is rarely seen without her light-weight, white armor with edges lined with silver, long silver cape and Storm-Caller. Her helmet has no slits, gaps or indentations at all, which many may wonder how she could possibly see or breathe out of it at all when worn; however this somehow does not hinder her performance. She has a pair of large, golden feathered wings at her hips and the gap in the armor to fit her wings offers a glimpse of her pale complexion. Lady Daybreaker also has long, flowing blonde hair that floats in the air as if she was underwater, no matter where she is.
Primary Weapon: Storm-CallerStorm-Caller is a one-handed, basket-hildted sword with ancient runes engraved along the length of its blade. It serves a dual-purpose, one for physical combat like any other sword and also the source of casting short-ranged magic. Such magic requires direct contact with the target or the wielder is able to 'write' archaic runes in the air to activate spells of a stormy nature. Such spells often take form of lightning, clouds, wind or rain - all of which originates from the runes, not the environment around them and requires the target to be in immediate proximity to activate effectively.
Personality:Despite hailing from Red Haven, Lady Daybreaker is one of a valiant, intelligent, curious and fun-loving mind. When on a mission she often takes the no-nonsense and direct approach but when off-duty she loosens up enough to enjoy the little things in life.
Residence:Red Haven
Occupation:Knight Sourcerer
Skillset:Swordsman and Alchemy
Magic:'Storm Magic' cast from Storm-Caller.
Bio:Once swearing her life for a monarchy within Red Haven which had fallen and the royal lineage died out so very long ago, Lady Daybreaker now wanders the lands in search for a new purpose for her life and sword. Even though the Diagrae Monarchy no longer reigns any part of the world, Lady Daybreaker still visits and loyally ensures that the entry to their tomb deep in the pits of Red Haven stays safe-guarded and sealed shut.

Over the years Lady Daybreaker has made a name for herself for rescuing or helping out civilians with silver or white hair - especially children - simply because they remind her of the members of the royal Diagrae family she once served. Anyone who happens to have one of two hair colours, as well as green or red eyes, strike a particularly sensitive chord for her.
Misc:Voice Sample: Faye Valentine

Rules and Guidelines / How To Use The Dungeon Master Account
« Last post by Lady Daybreaker on December 28, 2018, 04:17:54 am »
What Is The Dungeon Master And How Are They Used?
Here at Siren Sphere, we tell legends of our characters in this fantasy setting, which is why we have a Dungeon Master (also known as 'The Storyteller' or 'Arc Host') in every major thread on the forum to tell these tales. The Dungeon Master doesn't dictate how other characters react or how other people write their characters by a long shot, but is rather like an Arc Host who offers direction for characters. This can be in casual RP threads or in more major ones like Arcs.
e.g. One evening an unlikely rag-tag group of civilians gathered within a busy and lively tavern... then suddenly goblins attack!

Note: Minor threads do not require a Dungeon Master.

There is a Dungeon Master Account?
There is a shared Dungeon Master account anyone can use on the forum, just ask an Admin for the username and password.

Using The Dungeon Master Account:
We all love to write and it's really important to give credit where it's due; so at the end of each post just sign off with your first name or internet alias.

How Many Dungeon Masters Can There Be In One Thread?
There can be as many as it's needed in a thread, however try to keep it to one per thread as much as possible.

Character Biographies / Dante The Demon Slayer
« Last post by Dante on December 28, 2018, 04:07:32 am »
(This is a high fantasy take on the existing Capcom character Dante)




“Though a fight every now and then does make life a little more interesting, don't ya think?” - Dante

Basic Info
Name: Dante
Alias: The Crimson Devil Hunter, Legendary Dark Knight
Occupation: Devil Hunter
Species: Demon/Human Hybrid

Appearance
Dante is a tall man with a muscular build and pale skin, he has pure white and and electric blue eyes. His hair is styled into a medium length cut that falls past his eyes complemented by his ruggedly handsome facial features. The best way to describe Dante's image is rough around the edges as his wild hair and unkempt stubble display this perfectly. The devil hunter has a taste for red trench coats and dusters usually packed to the teeth with various weapons on the inside and buckles to keep his gear in place. Under his crimson coat he sports a black collared shirt with a red belted vest over the top, his pants are a matching shade of red that complement his coat along with his black knee high combat boots. His overall appearance resembles that of a hunter or a sell-sword favouring light leather clothing usually studded or belted in places to allow for full mobility in combat.


Personality
Dante is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of demons, and he generally enjoys showing off and taunting his adversaries as often as he can. Dante also displays a fearless, almost disinterested attitude towards incredibly dangerous situations often effortlessly shrugging off wounds such as a headshot or impalement numerous times, the latter of which happens quite frequently for the Devil Hunter.

The half human tackles life with a devil-may-care attitude that can be attributed to his playful nature. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but still maintains an overall laid-back demeanor during tense situations, and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Although seemingly shown at times to be uncaring or callous, Dante maintains a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fair, thus never fighting humans or opponents that are weaker than him. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes humorously cynical quips about it the entire time.

During his moments alone Dante is often shown to be introspective and even mopey at times, reminiscing about his past or mulling over mistakes he's made; while life has caused Dante to become quite cynical he's never one to let these feelings bring him down for too long as he's an optimist at heart who plays his unpleasant moods off as him being mysterious and stoic. Most of these unpleasant feelings are drawn from his demonic heritage, while he has displayed discomfort with his own demonic side he has put these powers to good use by focusing them into the task of eliminating the forces of the Underworld. 
Dante has little qualms about accepting demons that choose the side of good and admires their desire to be human. Though Dante is quoted as believing that "Humans are often worse than demons." he refuses to kill full-blooded humans for any reason, believing it would make him no better than any Devil, be it human or demon.

In addition, Dante values family and friends very highly, not much is publicly known about his family or friends but all who have stuck by Dante long enough to call him comrade will tell you he's always watching out for them in his own seemingly nonchalant way. Dante immensely enjoys fighting, shown when he restrains himself from using his full potential but he is also quick to use full power if his opponent proves to be sufficiently powerful; Dante gets bored with fighting weak opponents and only finds entertainment in fighting strong opponents who will give him a challenge. One of the hunter's favourite pastimes is rubbing haughty supernatural creatures and nobles the wrong way as his rebellious nature has instilled a great dislike of authority in him; he gets his kicks upsetting snobs and pretentious people to the point where he'll frequently act foulmouthed in even the most formal situations. 

Despite Dante's handsome appearance, he often has terrible luck with women, to the point where most he meets end up mortally wounding in some comically overzealous way; however due to his accelerated healing he's able to survive most of these unwanted attacks that he's starting to see as love taps due to their frequency. Despite his seemingly unstoppable power Dante has terrible luck when it comes to gambling or games of chance often getting cheated out of a majority of his gold because he's either too drunk to stop or because he refuses to back down. A man of many oddities another odd trait the devil hunter has is his insatiable sweet tooth, Dante enjoys a wide variety of sweets and baked goods his particular favourite being strawberry sundaes.


Equipment
Dante is a mercenary who specializes in paranormal cases, preferring those that call for demon slaying as such he's equipped himself with everything he needs to cut down hell's forces. Dante's arsenal consists of set of twin crossbows craved from ivory and yew, called Ebony and Ivory; these bows never need reloading due to an enchantment cast on the magical ore welded to the grips. In addition to his ranged weapons Dante is packing his trademark magical sword Rebellion; Rebellion is a massive claymore with a heavy double-edged blade, notched on both sides near the tip, the fearsome blade features screaming skulls at the hilt one with devil horns while the other appears human truly reflecting Dante's dual nature in it's design.


Powers and Abilities 
As the son of a legendary demon knight and a human woman Dante posses a whole host of superhuman and supernatural powers making him a truly savage opponent. Dante has accelerated healing allowing him to recover from even the most severe of injuries almost instantly such as being shot in the head or impaled through the chest; while Dante seems absolutely deathless it has been noted being stabbed in the heart or causing him to surpass his pain threshold can seriously slow him down or cause him to pass out. In addition to his healing Dante possess immense demonic strength that allows him to swing oversized weapons with ease and even shatter solid stone with his fists. While his physical feats seem impressive Dante's demonic blood gives him access to various magical abilities that allow him to focus his energy into devastating attacks he channels into his weapons which were designed to handle his powers.

While he mainly uses his magic to unleash powerful swings and shots he can also use his mystical abilities to create platforms to jump off as teleport towards his foes; the full extent of the crimson devil hunter's abilities are unknown but some say he's surpassed even the king of the underworld. His full potential can be tapped into when he enters a transformation he refers to as "Devil Trigger". This is a transformation where Dante sheds his humanity and enters a savage demon form resembling a horned dark knight; In this state, Dante possesses greater strength, speed, endurance, healing, and further abilities depending on his equipped melee weapon even including flight.

Years of hunting down the damned have made Dante an expert marksman, master swordsmen and adept tracker allowing him to make crazy trick shots, preform insane feats with swords and other weapons as well as being knowledgeable on monster weaknesses and behaviour patterns that will lead him to a target or give him an edge in combat.
