- Gimmick:
Name:
Rotten Applekins
Grade:
Weak
Type:
Non-Combat Pet
Proof of Acquisition:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
These black blobs are little more than semi-sentient suckerfish with inexplicable cat-shaped ears. They annoyingly appear on their own out of thin air, nomming on the various parts of humans falling victim to any of the 7 virtues or 7 vices. Don’t worry, they don’t eat flesh. In fact, not all of them even eat. Some do eat away at the emotional essence behind the good and evil impulses, which is helpful for vices, but not so much virtuous intentions. Some don’t eat but instead regurgitate more of the emotional essence behind the good and evil impulses, which is helpful for virtuous intentions but not so much for vices. And much like a pesky box of chocolates, you never know which you’re gonna get ... or when.
They tend to turn colors and mumble what it is they’re eating or regurgitating in little garbled, tongue-too-big-for-mouth voices, in a sense acting as truth detectors on those less forthcoming about their feelings, which is ironic since the Rotton Applekins clearly suffer from and never speak of their own gluttony.
Abilities:
Name: Om Nom Bleh
Description: They sense your sins and virtues, popping in to make matters better or worse at random by either lessening or increasing the tug between good and evil decisions. Hijinks are sure to ensue [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC].

- Lacrima - Claimed by Skylar:
Name:
Time Dragon's Virtue
Type:
Dragon Slayer
Item/Energy needed to reach Force:
Stars, Planets, Space, Atmosphere
Slayer Can Control:
Time, Stars, Space, Atmosphere
Description & Appearance:
History:
When the universe came into existence, so did many fantastic and mystical creatures. Out there in the great unknown there are environments, planets, and beasts beyond your wildest dreams. One such creature was a time dragon that surfed through the universe on invisible waves, teleporting around and messing with the development of planets and time. The mischief-maker rushed some planets to their demise with his magic, then slowed the creation of others until their development failed. Stars were forced to regress and wink out of existence. He played with time irresponsibly and would pay the price. When he attempted to sink his claws into the forming planet that would be Earthland, the dragon was pulled in by a magical force and trapped within the planet's core. It was there he would reside for millions of years, only able to watch as the planet grew and developed around him.
Over the many eons, he learned a virtue so valuable he felt the need to pass it on: patience. The intricate creation and evolution of planets took time, which he had so frivolously toyed with in the past. He realized it would be a long time before he was freed, and grew to value the virtue that was forced upon him. In his early days of boredom within the confines of the planet's core, the dragon created and released a lacrima that would take many thousands of years to rise through Earthland's layers. This lacrima would allow the user to access the dragon's magic, but also taught them the importance of patience.

- Weapon - Claimed by Skylar:
Name:
Right Hand of the Renegade
Grade:
Artifact (+)
Type:
Weapon
Proof of Acquisition:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
The "Right Hand of the Renegade". A befitting name for a weapon like this. It is evident that the gun is not only a work of expert craftsmanship, it also looks like a small piece of art in and of itself, deceptively beautiful adornments decorating it. It could almost lead one to believe that this weapon was created with good intentions in mind, though the thing's aura tells quite a different tale. It feels like the gun itself harbors ill intent towards anyone but the one it has acknowledged as its wielder and radiates something that feels like bloodlust. The steel of the weapon, no matter how hot its environment, will always be cold to the touch. The revolver doesn't need ammunition to be fired, as it will manifest powerful shots of charcoal-black, dark energy when fired. What exactly it is that turned this gun into something so hungry for conflict and thirsty for blood is unclear, though there is a story that comes with it.
Allegedly, the gun belonged to a famous mercenary, who, along with his brother, had sworn to fight only for the good in the world, travelling Earthland to combat evil wherever it popped up. They did this for a number of years and seemed to have garnered quite a reputation for themselves, as well. One of the two was a master swordsman, and the other is rumored to have never missed a shot. Eventually, though, one of the brothers was befallen by corruption, as it so often tends to be the case, plotting his sibling's downfall and, one fateful night, taking his brother's weapon from him in his sleep and shooting him. With his brother dead, though, killed with his own weapon, the man did not feel fulfilled or relieved, instead only harboring immense guilt and regret for his actions, and, after falling into deep despair, in the end turning the weapon on himself. Maybe all of these emotions were absorbed by the cold steel of the gun, or maybe it always had a will of its own and is tainted with rage? Who knows, those are just stories, after all.
Abilities:
Name: Bloodlust Blast
Rank: User Rank (Up to S)
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target, Buff, Piercing
Damage: User Rank Single Target Damage
Range: User Rank Single Target Range
Speed: User Rank Single Target Speed
Duration: User Rank Max
Downside: N/a
Description: The gun fires up the user's bloodlust, increasing their spell damage by a user rank active buff for the duration of this ability as soon as it is activated. Once per post for the ability's duration the user can amass an incredible amount of killing intent and dark energy within the weapon, which seems to pour forth directly from within the user, and point it at a single enemy within the ability's range. Upon pressing down the trigger, the revolver will release a projectile of all-corroding darkness, infused with the user's emotions and bloodlust. This shot can pierce through shield spells, barriers, and armor, though as opposed to regular piercing effects, sacrifices no damage in the process. Further, this projectile also bypasses all damage reductions and damage suffered from it is unaffected by such.
Name: Vampiric Shot
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to A+)
Category: Offensive
Type: Multi Target, Buff, HP Drain, MP Drain
Damage: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Damage
Range: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Range
Speed: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Speed + 50%
Duration: User Rank Advanced Max
Downside: The user must sacrifice 10% of their max HP in order to activate this ability. The ability's speed is increased by 50%
Description: The weapon draws blood from the user's body, the color of its metal changing to a sanguine red for the duration of the ability, driving the user's bloodlust up to its absolute max. For the duration of the ability, the user can freely fire blasts of red energy at opponents within the ability's range at the ability's speed, dealing damage upon impact. Opponents hit with this energy are infected with a magical curse that drains them of their life force, once per post for the ability's duration draining 5% of their max MP and 5% of their max HP. This, however, is not the full extend of the weapon's evil abilities. Every successful hit exponentially increases the weapon's and the user's lust for blood, buffing the base spell damage of this ability by 25% every time the user hits and damages another being with the red projectiles (capping at 100% additional damage max).

- Armor - Claimed by Skylar:
Name:
Righteous Defender
Grade:
Artifact (+)
Type:
Armor
Proof of Acquisition:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
An expertly crafted set of armor that, through a set of magical enchantments, will bestow strong blessings of protection upon its user. Originally, this armor belonged to a righteous knight from Ca-Elum, who fought and defended his realm against an invading force of demons at the behest of his king, clashing with the dark forces and smiting them with overwhelming magic of pure light, though eventually, succumbing to the wounds he sustained on the battlefield, but not without guaranteeing victory. As such, his legendary suit of armor has come to be known as a symbol of protection, loyalty, and righteousness.
The armor itself is a pure white color and automatically adjusts its shape according to the body of the wearer. Further, the metal of the armor appears otherworldly, as it glows faintly and, no matter how damaged it is, it will, over a while, regenerate itself automatically.
Abilities:
Name: Celestial Flame
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to S+)
Category: Offensive
Type: Multi Target, Immobilization
Damage: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Damage + 50%
Range: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Range
Speed: User Rank Advanced Multi Target Speed
Duration: 1 post
Downside: Sacrificing 2 effects for 50% more damage
Description: This ability can be automatically activated once per post if the armor is hit with damage. As soon as it is hit, the armor will release a burst of white holy flame that will engulf the user and shoot out several balls of white flame at the nearest opponents, which will automatically pursue and try to hit the nearest opponents up to the ability's range at the ability's speed, dealing damage upon impact. The flames will envelop the target if it is successfully struck, binding them and rendering them completely immobile for a single post. Opponents may only be immobilized once every other post at max.
Name: Holy Aegis
Rank: User Rank (Up to S)
Category: Defensive, Supportive
Type: Single Target, Anti-Piercing
Healing: User Rank Healing
Durability: User Rank Damage + 50%
Range: Self
Speed: Self
Duration: User Rank Max
Downside: Sacrificing range and speed for 50% additional durability
Description: The user shrouds their form in a bright, white glow, thus activating this ability. The light around the user's form acts as a barrier that will protect them from harm and defend them against any kind of damage that seeks to harm its wearer, shielding them for user rank damage multiplied by 1.5x. The durability of this aura of light around the user's form is restored to full once per post for the ability's duration and is enchanted with a strong protective charm, thus rendering piercing effects unable to penetrate it. Further, the white light soothes and heals the wounds of the wearer, once per post healing them for user rank damage as long as this ability is active.
Name: Protector
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to A+)
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: The armor is enchanted with several blessings that are meant to shield its user, manifesting as a small white mark on the user's right wrist. As long as they possess this mark, they can summon the armor onto their form, and similarly unsummon it at their will. Further, these blessings also increase the user's spell durability by a user rank advanced passive buff to spell durability.

- Item - Claimed by Adalinda:
Name:
Pridefeathers
Grade:
Strong (+)
Type:
Item
Proof of Acquisition:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
Pompous, a sinful imp of pride, has seen it fit to bestow a lowly human with a marvelous gift! The beautiful pair of wings are large enough to make up for any insecurity one might have, simmering in angelic reds and blues, and accented with gold. Don’t fall for their heavenly deception, they are tainted with the deadly sin of pride. They say “Pride comes before a fall.” Well, you can fall if you aren’t high off the ground, right? Pompous quite enjoys watching silly humans fall victim to pride and fly too close to the sun.
- Plot Ability:
Feather Flex: This item could potentially become the apple of the user’s eye, something they are proud of and reliant upon. The wings are always just a thought away since they are able to be summoned out of thin air when needed since their essence The user may experience the inexplicable and irresistible impulse to preen the beautiful feathers. They also might indulge in some peacocking, that is, showing off the beautiful plumage to intimidate rivals and attempt to win mates with their fantastic display. They might feel so proud of their wings they extend that same pride to themselves when they have them equipped, potentially bordering on the egotistical and narcissistic. Really, how could someone with wings and beautiful and fast as these ever fail at anything?
Abilities:
Name: Faster, Farther
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to C+)
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: The user's growing ungodly confidence in themselves manages to channel through Pridefeathers and manifest as an actual buff. Even when the wings aren’t equipped and visible, the user enjoys a nice user rank advanced passive buff split equally between their spell speed and spell range, enabling their spells to fly faster and further simply because of their overflow of confidence.
Name: Aerial Arrogance
Rank: User Rank Advanced (Up to B+)
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Obviously, when using the wings, the user is blessed with the ability to fly high above all the poor wingless souls below, fulfilling the temptuous need to be better than and literally look down on others. While the user might resist the more sinful nature the wings innately hold, they will still find themselves benefitting from a user rank advanced passive buff to speed.

- Combat Pet:
Name:
Usurper of Sin
Grade:
Artifact (+)
Type:
Combat Pet
Proof of Acquisition:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
A nameless book, whose pages are as black as charcoal and adorned with silver ornaments, came into your possession. When you look at it more closely you will notice that the silver is wrought in the shape of flower stems with thorns. The flowers that spruce up from these stems are those of roses and they are not made of silver. Their blossoms are red, red as blood; in fact, it looks as if they are made of liquid blood, swirling softly within the confines of the petals. When you touch them, if you dare, you find that they are actually solid, and cold like the silver stems. When you try to open the book, you find it jammed shut. It is locked. You examine the metalwork once more, is there a keylock? There isn’t. Your finger runs over one of the thorns, ouch; it punctured through your skin. A droplet of blood runs through the silver stem to the rose but the book keeps shut. Once there, though, it blossoms and moves out of the way, thus allowing you to open the book. You open the book and find the pages, old and full of holes but there is a text. Letter? Glyphs? Symbols? You can’t read it. The color of the writing, as well as what you have learned from the roses, make you think it is written in blood. You go through the book, staring at some pages for some time and then you move back to the first page. That doesn’t look like what you saw at first. You go back to another page, and return to the first page; it had changed again, what does that mean? Your bloody finger runs over the page, the blood seeping into the page.
You look up from the book, some instinct told you to. You stare at the eyes of a creature. Its eyes are green fires. Its face, its body, wrapped in linen bandages. A green glow emits from some areas. Its head is half-hidden in a cowl and is adorned by a golden crown. Large black wings protrude from its back. In one hand it holds a scroll, in the other a staff with a green flame and hourglass. The hourglass is not filled with sand, but with green flames. You stare at it, baffled; what will you do?
Plot Ability:
Hiding in the Tome: The Usurper of Sin can be with the user in person but also hidden in the book. In the latter case, the Usurper of Sin can be summoned at an instance notice.

Description: The Usurper of Sin aims his staff and fires a bolt of green fire at the target, following the ability's range and speed. The spell deals Damage over Time, in the initial post, the spell deals 50% damage of the user rank single target damage and will continue to deal the same damage to the target every post until up to 2.5x user rank single target damage over the course of five posts has been dealt. The target is additionally inflicted with a user rank active debuff to spell damage as long as the ability is active and they are hit.

Category: Offensive
Type: Burst, MP Drain, Immobilization, Buff
Damage: User Rank Advanced Burst Damage
Range: User Rank Advanced Burst Range
Speed: User Rank Advanced Burst Speed

Downside: N/a
Description: The Usurper of Sin slams the butt of his staff on the ground, the hourglass shatters and its flames spread around him within user rank advanced burst range. The green fires deal the ability's damage and inflict the target with an additional 5% MP burn per post for those hit by the fire. Time, additionally, seems to slow down within the range of the ability, freezing entirely for those hit with the ability, immobilizing them, as well as granting both the Usurper of Sin and the user an additional user rank advanced speed buff.
