Hey everyone.......looking for a few....."victims".....to test out my updated Alchemist..... i am hoping to try between two and five people..... and i would hope that one of the top members of this forum *cough Zetsumi cough LOC cough* would be interested in having a battle....i need to balance this guy out so any advice you could give either post it here or send me a PM.


1.Jopari
2. Reckless Chaos
3. Sir Meta Knight
4. Frozen Fate
5.

Rules: If you don't know them GTFO!

Setting:
Ruined City - a desolate and now uninhabited city..large skyscrapers now crumble in the desert temperature's. The battle will commence around some of the larger buildings..

Name: Rikken Alexander Lyna

Alias: The Iron Clad Alchemist

Age: 19


Appearance: Rikken is slightly taller then average, standing a few centimetres above most. He is thin, and well-muscled, and it's obvious he works to maintain his physical fitness. Unlike most alchemists, who rely solely on their vaunted powers to protect them, Rikken sees the value in maintaining his health and physical condition. His hair is light-brown, pulled back by a dark metal band, and knotted into a long ponytail on the right-hand side, falling to his knees. The end of this is dyed a deep blue. He wears a black shirt of a light, thin material, long-sleeved, and held in place along the arms by a number of belts. Around his neck and shoulders, a brace extends across his upper back, acting as both shoulder and throat protection, a pliable, padded chainmail, over twin metal plates laid on the shoulders, and covered in a case of leather. He wears black cloth gloves, but the two middle fingers, and thumb, are both cut short, whilst the glove completly covers the remaining fingers. A low-slung belt hands loosly from his waist, a number of padded pockets hanging from it, in addition to a long, thin knife, notched, and obviously meant more for self-defence rather then attack. He wears short leg guards along his hips, and a short chainmail skirt covers the top of them. A pair of steel-capped black boots cover his feet, extending to just below his knees. In the left boot, a small knife is concealed, which can be retrieved with a flick of his toe.


A number of odd, misshapen tribal tattoos adorn his body, spiky, thin designs, inked into his being in a deep black. His skin seems oddly pale, except for around his eyes, where it's strangely creased.


Personality: Unlike most, Rikken does not view the world in the black-and-white terms of 'good' and 'evil': He sees it from a personal viewpoint, one of benefit. What will be of benefit to him, what will assist others, and what can he gain from assisting it to assist others. He has few morals or ethics, regarding them as the trappings of a mind that cannot define itself outside of the narrow perimeters set for it. Anything he does, anything he says, while it may give the impression of compassion, or feeling, it will, inevitably, serve a greater benefit to himself. Despite this, however, there are moments when he lets his emotions get the better of him...Arrogance, for example, he knows to be one of his greatest weaknesses.
In the end, he is neither good, nor evil, nor neutral...he serves himself, and whatever might aid him or his goals, despite what others might classify him or his goals as.


History:


~Early Life~
He attendended church, played with the other kids and helped his father create weapons as the blacksmith's son when he was a young boy his family lived on the small income that the father gained from repairing weapons and the like his parents, were quite happy together even though they were stuggling to make ends meet. as a young child he started to help his father out with his business, his parents were to poor for him to be able to receive an education. he had few friends because he kept to himself mostly, and viewed other children as a waste of his time and effort.


~Teen Years~
he followed in his father's footsteps and took over his father's business when he was 14 because his father passed away. while working with his father his father seemed to be drawing strange markings on the weapons he was forging, "what are you doing father?" he asked,
"Strengthing the weapon son," he replied "here," he placed his sons hands over the markings, the sword glowed bright green and stopped as suddenly as it had started. before his father passed away he started to understand the compositions of metals and thier properties, this of course helped him emesely when his father died and soon he became the talk of the small village in which he lived, he wondered around handing out swords to the townsfolk for them to be able to defend themselves. Shortly after this a bandit Clan came to raid the village and thanks to him they were able to drive them off, and celebrations occurred.


~The Old Man Cometh~
While working in the workshop, he noticed a man in his late 40's seeming to be in a bit of trouble breathing, he left his work to help the man to a seat inside his workplace that was cluttered with numerous tools for making swords and other items to be made with metal, it was particularly cold day and the fernus was burning nice and warm he loved his job here working in the blacksmith, the people where always so kind to him. . While he was working the man seemed to have taken a keen interest to what he was doing, the man's eyes widened he smiled and said, "I see your using Alchemy there," Rikken looked at the man as though he was crazy
"What are you talking about old man, i've been making swords like this for years and i've never heard that word mentioned before,"


"That's because you've seen an alchemist before, i think you have potential my young friend," said the man standing up,


As the blacksmith opened his mouth to answer, the elder man suddenly fell to the floor, coughing forth a fit of blood. Helping him to a bed, our hero lay down to await his awakening...and an explanation.


Several years later


The elder man, an alchemist of great repute, it would seem, had a terminal illness. He could not heal himself, and was scared to go to the temple for healing, because of what he was. Seeking a way to pass on his legacy, the alchemist trained our enigmantic hero in his ways, building on his already natural understanding of it's relationship with metal and smithing.


"And now that i have taught you all i know, it is time for me to pass to on to the next world,i hope that what i have taught you will help if you meet someone named Wyn Xed tell him your my stand in --," The old man's hand fell limb onto his now lifeless body.


~The Old Man's Story~


Dertronomis Jiden used to be one of the Philosophers Alchemists trained by one of the alchemists in the faction that he belonged to because he showed potential, but when he was found out by the Judges, he had to flee to another city, and there he lay in hiding, for twenty years.



Items:


Alchemist's Glove


Description: this glove has etched into it a basic transmutation circle capable of powering alchemic reactions when the wearer claps his/her hands and completes the flow of energy within his/her body.


Book of Minerals :


Description: A rather large book that's roughly two square feet and five inches thick. This book includes chemical compounds of various minerals from around the world and their elemental makeup. It also includes example combinations using transmutation and complex breakdowns of rare and common metals. It's heavy and wrapped with leather so it can survive long journeys. A metal buckle secures the pages so they won't get dirty if it's accidentally dropped.



Skills:


Deception: By using the alchemic circles inscribed on his back and chest he can turn his body into a solid plate of sturdy armour, thus protecting him from harm.


Dissaray: The blade on his waist serves other perposes other than that of defence allowing him to form any metal based weapon he desires eg: shields,swords,knives and the like. The circles on his arm controls this function.


Confusion: In addition to dissaray the weapon can also switch ends of the hilt to change weapon strike pattern Eg, using a downward stabbing action on another character that then rolls out of the way only to have the blade switch ends and be brought though into a sword slash.


Mimic Daravon: Rikken uses slight impulses in his speech to alter people's perceptions of the world around them. Rikken is a skilled orator, but is also aware of the other suggestive powers his words carry with them. He can use this knowledge and that of the flow of the world to cause a drowsiness to befall those listening to him speak. The greater the emphasis put on the words the greater effect it will have, and can even put some to sleep.

Soul Transmutation:
Using Alchemy he can attach his soul to metal armour and use them to attack his foes.


Fireball:
The glove he has is made of Ignition Cloth. basically when he snaps his fingers it creates a spark from there he uses alchemy to change the oxygen content and BOOM! fire bombs on command.

Second Impact: By breaking the laws of alchemy....that is;
1.Breaking down the object into it's basic atoms
2.Rearranging the atoms
3.Forming them into a totally different object.

By not using the third step. His is able to create explosions. Wether they be inside someone's head..... or on any object he desires... he cannot use this as a trap....because the explosion is instantaneous.

Oxygen Depletion: By transmuted the oxygen that makes up the air around him and his enemy, pushing the molocules further apart he can cause foe's to pass out or reduce their ability to effectively compete.

Best Of Luck

I'll take you up on this. Just give a day or two to finish up a template. I'd rather not fight Rikken twice in a row with Abel.

Appearance: He stands an height of 5'11" with unusual ice blue eyes. His hair is Jet Black, with artificial streaks of silver. He lets his hair flow down to his shoulders, never allowing it to grow out too far. Though a youthful appearance is maintained, there seems to be a snese of maturity with total dominance. Upon his left eye is scar from his forehead to his cheek. He is always wearing a black shirt and pants with a hooded cape hanging from the back. With it, he wears black boots and black fingerless gloves. There is always an almost menacing look in his eye.

He can grant himself massive amounts superhuman strength reaching upwards of 50,000 tons with effort.

His cells also generate energy that seems to replenish itself rapidly and with this energy can can create force fields, and project massive energy blasts of both concussive and vagrant force, and can augment himself further by drawing on various outside energy sources, though this is rarely needed. Syra also possesses telepathy and telekinesis, and has shown potential to be a powerful psionic, though his experience in these areas are not that great, and this power for the most part goes unused........though he can use this power just fine.

Uhh, I may accept this, if I have any time. :/ Honestly, I'm busy playing Live, but I'll challenge you with Hive Fleet Aetas.

It doesn't need a template. You'll see what I mean when I make my introduction.

Here's my template, I'm ready to start whenever you are.
~~~~

Name: Viviana Junia Rochester

Title: The Indigo Princess

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Personality: Viviana is arrogant and cold, but finds irony and sarcasm to be the greatest joys in the world. She is quick to dislike someone, especially if they follow the crowd without question, but despite the easiness of her hatred she is slow to harm people. She prefers not to cause grievous injury without reason.

Her enjoyment of irony and sarcasm cause her to use them quite often. She is constantly sarcastic almost to the point of annoyance. However she can become quite serious when needed and often has a deeply philosophical statement to make when the situation calls for it.

Appearance:

Height: 5' 7"

Weight:
134 lbs

Eye Colour:
Golden brown irises that fade to a black around the outer edges.

Skin Tone: A bloodless pale created by the use of makeup.

Facial Features: Vi’s pale features are sharp and controlled. She wears makeup to enhance her appearance, wearing a majority of white powder to make her skin appear paler while highlighting certain features with black paint. Her eyes are deeply shadowed with such paint, making them appear sunken. Her jawbones and cheekbones are also highlighted with light black powder to make the sharp angles stand out even sharper. All of this creates a unique appearance that fits her role and accentuates her strangely sharp features.

These features are framed by two long black bangs that hang from her shorter raven black hair. She keeps her hair short except for these two long bangs.

Physical Features/Attire:
Vi is lean and well built for looking like she does. Her body is toned and muscular enough to prove that she works to keep herself in shape. Her pale complexion hides any scars that she might have, but make her black painted fingernails stand out against the white of her flesh.

She wears a simple outfit. Starting at her feet it follows a simple colour combination of black and silver. She wears a pair of boots that are ornamented with a metal toe and metal designs on the sides, leading up into a pair of well fitting black jeans. The jeans are embroidered with a flowing pattern of silver flames up the legs. Viviana covers her chest with a loose leather jacket over a tighter fitting black tee shirt. The jacket is studded with metal along the sleeves and collar to match the boots.

Birthplace: Indianapolis, IN

History:

When looking back at Viviana Rochester’s past life no significant facts truly stand out that explain why she was chosen by the Indigo Lord to be his mortal vessel. She led a normal mortal life, born to a pair of normal mortal parents. It is suspected that her parents’ strict discipline led to her choice to become ‘Gothic’. After this turn towards the darker and more cynical side of life Viviana took on the alias Vi.

For her teenage years she went through a number of New Age phases, at one point going so far as to join a psi-vampire group. These phases brought her close to magic and psychic abilities, possibly opening the Indigo Lord’s eyes to the fact that she would be an optimal vessel. Of course, that is just a theory and no evidence proves it.

During one of the New Age phases in her life, near the latter end of her teenage years, she attempted to make a pact with demons. At this time the Indigo Lord stepped up and appeared before her. At first she was terrified, believing that her ‘magic’ had actually summoned a demon. The Indigo Lord eventually proved to Viviana that he was not a demon and had come of his own volition.

The Indigo Lord offered Viviana the opportunity to gain real power. He offered her the position of his mortal vessel. Viviana didn’t waste time in agreeing and took on part of The Indigo Lord’s powers in exchange for her service. The Indigo Lord gave her free rein of herself at first. Viviana took her new powers to her old enemies, the one’s who’d always mocked her. Using the powers of the Indigo Lord she terrified them out of their wits, but before she killed them she had a revelation.

Viviana left her hometown, and she began her travels on Earth and the rest of the worlds as the mortal vessel of the Indigo Lord.

Shadows’ Gift (Weaponry): Viviana’s only weapon is more or less an extension of her soul. Shadows’ Gift is a chain of dark energy that manifests from Vi’s left arm, wrapping around her wrist and extending down to whatever length she wishes. The chain can be used for a variety of purposes, whether as a means of attack as a whip chain, or as a means of defense by wrapping around the arm and blocking attacks. Due to the weapons immaterial nature it is impossible to alter or take away from her, making it a totally personal weapon.

Powers: Viviana’s powers that were granted by the Indigo Lord allow her to affect the basic structures of the world around her. Her powers extend into the realm of magic and psychic abilities. The powers aren’t at their most advanced level, because of her relative newness as being a mortal vessel they are still quite powerful even if they lack finesse.

Techniques w/ Powers:

Psychokinesis: One of the most well-known powers. The ability to move objects and create shields without actually touching the object or wielding a shield. The use of this power is mostly undetectable, except for a faint distortion of the air around the area that it is being used in. Vi’s use of this power can be done without motion to guide it, but it becomes stronger and quicker when guided with her hand motion.

Pyrokinesis:
The ability to generate and control flames is one of the powers at Vi’s call. She has the basic form of pyrokinesis, but she also has a more refined form. This secondary form creates localized explosions at her will. These explosions can vary in power and size depending on how she wishes to use them.

Viviana picked her way through one of the crumbling skyscrapers that made up the ruined city. She sighed, shoving her hands into her jacket pockets as she rolled her eyes. Her powers kicked in and the larger boulder in front of her slid away, opening her path. The Indigo Lord had sent her out into this deserted place with too much sun to find someone. If she remembered correctly he'd said, "This alchemist is defying my will, eliminate him and anyone who aids him."

Vi grinned, she loved it when the Indigo Lord gave her important missions like this. It was so much more fun than the simple recon missions she got most the time. Those missions didn't give her anything to practice her powers on, and without practice how could she ever grow. She flicked her eyes up at the sun glowering down at her as she stepped out of the relative cover of the dilapidated building. "If only it could have been in a darker place," she muttered to herself. Looking around at the dusty streets she hunted for any sign of this rogue alchemist.

Rikken darted in and around the shadows stalking his prey....he quickly ducked behind a corner and watched her kick a stone along the ground. That's one He said to himself Now for the rest

He stood in a dark corner for a few minutes and drew some markings on the wall in his own blood. A little treat for later....[i/] he thought to himself as he swung the small dagger in his hand as he walked clam as ever towards the end of the alley way. Keeping himself out of sight he said..."Are you the one they call "Vi"?" he waited for an answer knowing that the answer was going to be 'yes'. He had followed her for some days.. She just hadn't noticed because of the cloth rags that was covering his body at the moment... The were something unusually that he didn't wear often... Mainly because of their age.. But nevertheless were a good camouflage when following people. He knew that she was after him... As he was the only other living being for miles around.

"Are you the one they call 'Vi'?" a voice called out from behind her. She turned around, her left hand sliding out of her pocket and Shadows' Gift snapped outward, slicing through the empty air with a hiss. The chain disappeared, her hand falling back to her side as she realized that the person wasn't behind her. He was somewhere near though, and she didn't drop her guard now that she knew.

"That depends," she answered, her eyes darting around to find the source of the voice. "Are you the Iron Clad Alchemist?" she asked, scanning every part of the shadows, wishing that she knew how the Indigo Lord lit up the darkness like he did. Viviana's mind flickered through a couple plans, discarding each one as she saw the futilities. "Drag down the buildings to kill him? No, could kill me in the fallout. How about randomly blowing stuff up? Nope, too obvious and slow." Vi decided to wait, her guard ready to parry and counter an attack from any side.

"You may call me that," he said standing behind her."But please for formalities just call me Rikken." Rikken now had a good chance to look at her.... Keep an eye on her. She's going to move.. don't you dare miss it a voice in his head told him.... "hmmmmmph, and who exactly are you supposed to be?"

He took a step back and rested against a wall on one of the buildings. "Also who sent you? i daresay it would be someone who wants me removed from the picture although i can't quite place the name..."
the flow seemed to be moving faster than usual.. This was indicating to him that she was hostile and had every intention of hurting him.

"Also who sent you? I daresay it would be someone who wants me removed from the picture, although I can't quite place the name...," the voice came from directly behind her this time. She smiled, not moving immediately, he was leaning back from the angle of his voice and wasn't planning to attack right away.

"I would be the Indigo Princess, but my friends call me Vi," she said. "But I guess you can call me Vi as well, because I daresay we'll be fighting to the death in a moment," she mocked him by imitating his way of speaking. She turned around now, Shadows' Gift slashing forward as she called it. The chain whipped forward, snapping just in front of the alchemist before shrinking back. She smiled venomously at the man, taking a few steps away from him just to be sure of distance. "Rikken, you've been accused and found guilty of defiance of the Indigo Lord. For your crime you've been sentenced to death. Do you surrender the right to life?" she stated the basic charge that she'd always had to state whenever the Indigo Lord sent her out. It was more of a formality, she could've just killed the man. "What fun would that be?" Viviana thought to herself.

A weapon quickly lashed out in front of him. Before retreating back to her pocket This one has spunk not quavering by the sudden attack he replied "I should have known he'd send one of his elites.... as he misunderstands the true power of alchemy, he should have sent himself.....although this match might prove to be interesting...." he glanced at her outfit again..


"My dear,dear girl, i surrendered my life years ago....when i decided to defy...you should know that already.... or have you forgotten?" his eyes snapped back to her face.... Glaring straight back at her....His bright yellow eyes...That would burn into anyone's soul and cause them to quiver in their boots. "i probably be ready to bet that you are pretty sleepy right.......now," Rikken knew that his Mimic Daravon... should have worked as they were talking for quite a while and she should be starting to feel the effects of it......

Viviana caught herself about to yawn as he said that she should be getting sleepy. It sounded like a cheesy hypnotist thing to her, but she remembered the Indigo Lord saying something about his voice. She frowned, deciding they'd probably talked to much. "Shut up," she muttered, snapping her fingers. The dust on the ground stirred as the air separating her from the alchemist seemed to shift.

Vi shook her head, clearing thoughts of sleep from it. The alchemist was cocky and arrogant, but he was also smooth enough to trick her into that stupid attack. Briefly it flashed into her mind that he might have planned something else in advance. A trap or something nearby could be waiting to go off at a moments notice.
