Current Events
Updated: 20/07/2020

**ALERT!** After a rather eventful evening at Maksim's Party, three teenagers seems to have gone missing. The doors of Vault Olympia have been breached due to a to this day unknown assailant, who sabotaged the doors locking systems, allowing demons to make entry. Thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the Vault's Security drones, the Attack was put to an end, and the invading monsters fled to the outside. Right now, the Doors of Vault Olympia are currently open, allowing any survivors of the fall to seek shelter within the Vault's safe halls. What Vault Security officials think of this development remains unclear as the Chief of Police and Security of Olympia refused to leave a comment. This is Rianara, of Olympia news, signing out.

The site is entering a new era as our team of mods works tirelessly on updating old and obsolete information threads and links. Over the Summer, we aim to make many changes to the forum, including writing a comprehensive beginners' guide to help new players accommodate to the combat and other rp systems in place here.

Be sure to constantly check the update thread for any changes to the boards. You can find it ->Here<-

Selenus (Endymion ASSW) Empty
PostSubject: Selenus (Endymion ASSW)   Selenus (Endymion ASSW) EmptySat Jan 09, 2016 4:50 am


Selenus
"Humans have no idea how good they have it. Sounds a lot like me, to be honest."


The Biography


Birth Name: Selenus
Aliases: "Ragnarok", "K9-Q36i"
Gender: Male
Age: 9
Birth Activation Day: May 19th
Arcana: The Moon
Place of Residence: Allaway Household, Sunlake Palms.
Part/Full Time Job: Vigilante, Tech Support/Test Subject for Professor J.

Appearance:
Selenus appears as a black robotic wolf standing at about 2.9 feet tall and 5 feet long with quite the menacing design; a visor where eyes would be on a real wolf, and an extendible tail with three wires at the end used to grip and electrocute. His paws end in various sharp claws which he can use to grip tightly to things or simply attack, and the metal itself of his body is made of an inconel-titanium-steel alloy, the same kind of metal used in space rockets.

Alternate Appearance 1:
When Selenus enters his alternate form, his whole body catches on a form of mysterious black fire that resembles fur. This fire, however, is cold, doesn't emit light or sound, and can't burn anything. It simply gives him the appearance of a demonic night wolf. A patch of light-blue fire also manifests on top of his back, but this fire behaves just like its black counterpart. Though Selenus loses his mechanical appearance in this form, he is still a robot underneath the fire and retains all of his mechanical abilities.

Alternate Appearance 2:
When in Orgia Mode, the fire that envelops Selenus becomes stronger and gives Selenus a more defined, more adult-wolf-like look. The light-blue fire on his back also becomes much more intense and of a dark hue, symbolizing the power surge that Selenus undergoes when in Orgia Mode.

Alternate Appearance 3:
When using his soul skill Anima Humanum, Selenus adopts the illusion of a male human in his late thirties with black and white hair, black eyes and a strong chin. "Simon Blackwell" as he calls himself in this form to strangers stands at five foot 10. He wears black and white trenchcoat, trousers and boots. This is meant to resemble what Selenus would look like had he been born human.

Alternate Appearance 4:
If Selenus activates Anima Humanum while under the guise of Ragnarok, instead of the appearance of "Simon Blackwell", he adopts the appearance of a humanoid robot with green neon lights and wolf-like ears and claws on its extremities.

Alternate Appearance 5:
If Selenus activates Anima Humanum while under the guise of Ragnarok and in orgia mode, the green neon lights of his android form are replaced by flaming red lights.


Personality:

Pre-Rebellion:
For the first few months after his creation, Selenus was the very definition of brutal, cold efficiency. Though he was capable of feeling emotions, for him to actually care about somebody or actually have opinions about a subject or entity was among the rarest things you would ever get to witness. As he could not comprehend the world around him, and because his computational nature could not correctly process the concepts of entropy or random chance, Selenus was utterly and completely obsessed with perfection. He believed that his creator Asteria Evans, whom he simply referred to as "Mother", and her other creation 0114IA, whom he called "Sister", or if she was feeling needy for praise "Valued Sister", were the only two beings aside from him that were perfect. He also harbored deep resentment and hatred for other K9 units, thinking them to be insulting compared to him.

Pre-ED:
Before the events of the Eternal Divide but after his rebellion, Selenus was a very serious and robotic individual. He was not lacking in terms of emotions, however any emotions he felt had to be considerably large for him to express them in any form other than stating them. He could comprehend sarcasm and manners of speech, and could easily understand what emotions others were feeling. However the emotions of anyone present wouldn't affect his manner of speech or behaviour unless his then-current goal was to make the external party feel comfortable. I guess he could've been called "brutally honest". Often riddled with complex philosophical questions, he often tended to act less like a combat robot and more like a war veteran that's been alive for too little.

Post-ED:
After the events that would change his life forever took place (See history), Selenus became noticably more human in more ways than one; His opinions became vastly more defined, he no longered tried to comprehend everything around him at all costs, and even his voice and speech patterns became much more smooth and non-AI-like. However, these developments were a result of deep trauma, and as such Selenus became quite the disturbed individual, to the point where his wolven instincts became much more present than before. He finally developed a sense of humor, but a very dry and cynical one. He tries to be as polite as possible around people, but angering him will prompt him to drop the niceties and inform people of what exactly is going through his mind with no filter whatsoever. Selenus has a very strong sense of justice, and thusly he will immediately warn those who have wronged him or anyone else that they are out of line. If their wronging is severe enough, he will take extreme actions. However, Selenus's opinion of people always begins at neutral, so he gives people a chance to do good.

Selenus also has many pecularities, including but not limited to: Being extremely fond of children due to Olivia's influence, being obsessed with night-time and the moon itself, actively pretending to have a different personality than the one he has to appease people he likes, and having a knack for classical music. He has also recently discovered the art of shitposting and memes on the internet, of which he is an active user in his spare time under the anonimity that it grants.




The Potential
 


Strengths:


Strength Name: "Where do you think you're going?"
Description: Selenus's extendible tail allows him to grip or ensnare objects or people at long distances. It is 75 cm when resting, but it can extend up to 10 meters at full length. His tail also has enough strength to lift Selenus's own weight, making him able to use it to swing from objects, including his soulbound.

Strength Name: "You're in for it now..."
Description: During Orgia mode, pierce attacks dealt by Selenus do 15% more base damage.

Strength Name: "Processing..."
Description: Apart from gripping, the wires in his tail can also import and export data from and to any electronic device they are in contact with.

Strength Name: "You'll never know what hit you."
Description: Selenus is capable of throwing his soulbound weapon at an impressive speed of 2 knives per second (Considering he has to pick them up with his tail). This allows him to use two dexterity attacks in one turn.
-----
((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)

Floating Strength Name:
Description:


Weaknesses:  


Weakness Name: "I'm not sure how I should proceed regarding these emotions..."
Description: Mind ailments such as fear, charm, panic and such have a 10% higher chance of affecting Selenus.

Weakness Name: "I'm only capable of attacking with so much kinetic force..."
Description: Due to Selenus's attacks working on a set configured algorithm, his regular dexterity attacks cannot land critical hits.

Weakness Name: "This is all my fault..."
Description: Since Selenus lost Newman, he has always felt a deep-rooted need to take responsibility for his actions. This extends to the point where he will feel like all failures, including those completely out of his control, are his own.

Weakness Name: "Do NOT let this repeat, or else."
Description: Selenus is fairly easy to anger, and angering him too much can lead to regrettable situations.

-----
((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)

Floating Weakness Name:
Description:



Soul Bound Weapon:


Weapon Name: Winds Of Destruction
Weapon Description: The Winds Of Destruction are 10.5 cm High Frequency Knives (knives that vibrate at high speeds to cut through material easier) that can be found behind Selenus's paws and on his hips which he throws using the wires in his tail. After they have damaged the enemy they will return to their proper place in Selenus's body through magnets. Outside of battle, Selenus can place them on walls to use them as stepping platforms or as bases from which he can use his tail to swing from. Selenus is able to throw two knives per second at 100 mph.

Weapon Attack Type: Pierce
Weapon Element:


Side-Arm Weapon:

Side-Arm Name: K9 667
Side-Arm Description: The K9 667 is a small uzi-like machinegun inside of Selenus's snout with a long and flexible muzzle that looks like a thin tongue when it peeks out of his mouth.
Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun
Side-Arm Style: Machine Gun - Muti-Round - Accuracy is decreased by 30%. Consumes 3 types of ammo at once to fire. (Must be same type of ammo.)




The Background
 


History:
Selenus was created by Dr. Asteria Evans, a scientist working for the Ortygia group as a psychoroboticist; He was the very first model of a line of robots designed after dogs and other canines dubbed the "K9" project. After finding him a bit rebellious at first, however, the Ortygia group decided to exclude Papillon Hearts from the rest of the models. During his first year alive, he was kept company by Dr. Evans (whom he referred to as "Mother" and respected her to the point of near-worshipping) and a sister-project robot called 0114IA, who influenced his emotional growth. When not around them, he was dispatched in government-issued missions to dispatch Psyche Terrorists or rented out to private contractors for security or assasination purposes, even. At the time, he had no qualms with murder: It was simply what he was ordered and expected to do.

Roughly a year after his activation, 0114IA finally managed to influence Selenus to the poitn of developing moral standards, and suddenly he found every killing he'd done abhorrent. In a rebellious rage, Selenus destroyed Ortygia's stock of K9 units, leaving almost none still functional. Considering him too rebellious, and assuming his son-like devotion to Dr. Evans as the root cause, the Ortygia Group contained him, erased all his memories of Dr. Evans, and sold him off to the highest bidder: A rising billionaire called Douglas Newman.

In his years living with Newman, Selenus adopted a completely new personality: one with an obsession for understanding the world around him not as simple facts, but as philosophical matters. During these four years with Newman, he came to be the Billionaire's closest friend and sole confidant. He had become a sort of father figure.

A total five years after Selenus's creation, a refugee escaping from the law came to Newman begging him to harbor him. Douglas quickly jumped at the oportunity to help someone in need and housed the refugee for a few months, after which the military caught up and confronted Newman on charges of harboring a terrorist. Selenus attempted to protect Newman, but was easily overcome by the many soldiers present at the scene, leaving him unconscious. When his systems rebooted, he woke up to find the military had taken Newman to prison and the refugee had fled. Selenus blamed both the government and the terrorist for Newman's fate, and so, severely damaged and limping, he set off to find repairs. The Ortygia Group, seeing now that Selenus was way too dangerous to exist, recalled all known existing K9 units and terminated them. Selenus, being considered dead, escaped this fate.

Currently, Selenus lives in the home of Trinity Allaway under the guise of being a bodyguard. He helps out around Grins' Hole In The Wall as both bar service and a test subject to help improve the fleet of K9 clones that Professor J. has made in his likeness to keep Grins under control, and he also uses his persona powers to double as a vigilante as a form of repenting for all the terrible things he's done.

Alright, looks okay for an ASSW. A nice touch, being a canine on top.

A couple of things I've noticed. For one. Evasion goes in increments of 10%, so a 15% boost would only act as 10%, since we round down here. The Ensnarable tail needs a description in length in order for the Strength to be viable. As for the Processing strength, That part sounds more appropriate as a Forged Soul Skill, rather than a Strength, since you can use it to stun people. Or, you could have it's stun capability only function while in Orgia Mode. Whichever works. But to me, it sounds more like a Forged Soul Skill. You can still keep the Storage part, as it's rather neat, and I like it. The Size of your knives, as well as the range in which you can accurately throw them is needed as well.

So, to recap. Length of Tail, and Soulbound. Restrict the Processing Strength to Data-storage, and keep the Stun aspect to a Forged Soul Skill of some form. Evasion Boost needs to be lowered to 10%.

Other than that, Selenus looks fine.

Hrm... Looks fine to me. Just as a precaution though, Add the fact that you can use your tail to swing from your soulbound in the strength regarding the tail, and you're approved. Also, I need a rate of fire on your Knives. We don't want this thing to fling knives at gun speed, now do we?
