Twist of Fate: Seals of Orenthia

The area was quiet. Not a single monster stirred on the rugged mountain trail. The Bordesian Mountains were dangerous to traverse normally, and not just because of the monsters. The war between Alice and Cordala was still raging after 17 years. Things were still tense, and since the Bordesian Mountains created a natural border between the two nations, they happened to be more dangerous than anywhere else. No one in their right mind would try to explore the mountains unless they were extremely battle-hardened.

However, things were more tense than usual on a small flat clearing on the mountainside. Several trees dotted the area. On one side of the clearing stood a young girl, a piece of crumpled paper in her hand. Her eyes were scanning the area thoroughly; she knew she was being followed. "Come out! I know you're there!" she shouted out over the area, her voice echoing against the crag.

On the other side of the area, hiding in a tree, was a young man. He held a bow in his hand with an arrow already nocked and aimed at the young girl. He heard her exclamation, but didn't make a sound in response. Silently, he released the arrow.

The girl instantly held up her piece of paper in the direction the arrow was coming from in time to see the arrow barely pierce the paper. Both the paper and the arrow fell harmlessly to the ground. "So, I am being followed," she muttered. "I was hoping I was wrong." That's when she noticed a man jumping from out of a tree across the way. He was the one who had fired at her. An angry grimace appeared on her face and she took out some more paper. The man nocked another arrow. "If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!"

And thus the battle commenced.

Characters may start in the same column as either Lucille or Tamashi depending on which side you're joining~

Okay. This is a completely improvisational role play. I have no idea what the hell is going on, but I think I can wing it. Without a definite plot we're following, I figured we'd be able to go wherever we wanted with this. Anyway, if you want to join, make up a character on the spot, PM it to me, and once approved, choose a side. There is a limit to 2 characters per side which means I will only be accepting 4 profiles. Have at it.

Izuna starts at cell F-7

Having been stalking tailing the Hunter for a while, for two reasons. She wanted to see what he was up to. And the fact that he looked attractive. When the boy walked out into sight of a paper girl, she walked up beside him and pulled out an arrow from her quiver. Most people would be suprised as how casual Izuna's fighting stance was, but Izuma was confident enough in herself that she would only need a few seconds to aim and fire a shot that will still strike her target.

"Hey cutie, need a bit of help?" Izuna asked with a wink.

Axis starts at D1.

Axis, having followed the girl for some time, thought nothing was going to happen and he had just wasted time like a fool. However, he was wrong. Just as he laid back against a tree directly being him, the Murder Claw spotted another one, a female joining the Hunter. Obviously, this wasn't fair for the girl who was at the other side of the flatland, trees randomly scattered around with little patches of vegetation here and there.

Running at inhuman speed, the sound of shaken grass and movement began, and immediately stopped at the time Axis was close enough to the battlefield, jumping sky-bound to later land unexpectedly at the Paper Master's side. The menacing, steel claws Axis wore were at the ready, showing dried blood, many cracks and dull points seen in various blades from continuous usage. Nevertheless he needed a new pair, Axis smiled sadistically as he took his battle position.

Dale starts at F1

Dale had his nose buried deep in a book. As such, he was only vaguely aware that he stumbled on a battlefield. His current read, Beginner's Magic Tome, was very interesting, who knew that an eye of a newt had so many uses? Already the book was proofing to be better than it's competitor; Magic for Dummies. He blinked with surprise as he surveyed his surroundings.

Scattered trees, a hunter and huntress on the opposing side and a girl surrounded by loss paper accompanied by a wild looking guy wielding blood stained claws. A bit more trouble than he usually got into, but his horoscope did say he might meet new friends under the most adverse situations today.

Elena starts at H7!

It twas' a strange sight for the young witch. It seemed to be a battle between three people and two people. But what was the fight about? Could it be tribes fighting over land, or a tournament? She couldn't possibly tell from her angle. Slowly moving to one side she decided to see just what this was all about.

Lucille moves to E3.

What in the world was going on? Where had all of these people come from? From the looks of things, they seemed like simple travelers and they had apparently chosen sides. She looked at her new allies and smiled. "I appreciate the aid, kind travelers," she addressed them. "You'll probably want an explanation about this." She glared at the hunter on the opposite side of the area before smoothing out a crumpled piece of paper and tossing it at him, the paper slicing his arm. "It will have to wait until later."

Lucille attacks Tamashi! 6 Dmg! (ATK)

Dale opened his book to the last page he read. He ran a finger down the page and stopped at a rather interesting line. It was scribbled in by hand (rather nice compact hand writing too.) Dale pursed his lips and read the words out loud.
"Every day, in every way, I am becoming better and better, stronger and stronger, more capable of the feats expected of me, more confident in my own abilities." As he read, he could fell the effects take hold of his body, strengthen him. He smiled. It always payed to read. He idly turned another page.

Enemy Phase 1!

Tamashi uses Strong Shot on Lucille! 8 Dmg! (ATK)

MP: 12/20

Tamashi's concentration was broken as more people arrived on the scene and he had no time to dodge the young girl's attack. The paper grazed his arm and left a bleeding cut. He shook his head and addressed the huntress. "As much as I hate to admit it, I would welcome all the help I can get," he admitted sullenly. "But don't be fooled because she is so young. She possesses extraordinary powers. Just be careful," he warned before nocking another arrow and pulling the string far back before releasing it, the arrow surging through the air.

Tamashi waits.

Izuna moves to cell F-5

Izuna nodded, she knew that judging someone solely on age was not a smart idea. She had learned that the hard way when she fought two girls named Janie and Sayori. They were much younger than the paper girl, but the two probably had the power to take down the girl within a matter of seconds considering that Izuna was beaten half to death with one strike.

"Alright cutie, I'll keep that in mind." Izuna said as she aimed for the guy with the book, "By the way, my name is Izuna Ketsueki."

Although, there was a tree in between her and the man with the book, but Izuna quickly came up with a way to deal with that. She ran toward the tree, easily climbing it with the help of momentum and jumped over the treetop.

"No man escapes the Manhunter!" Izuna shouted as she flipped backwards and in mid-air, fired a precise shot at the spleen of the man then landing where she was before.

Elena moved over to the duo who were fighting the trio. Her head tilted to the side as the trio threw the first punch. The witch's side was clear now, though it should have been clear all along. She moved over to the other who were fighting on her team.

"I couldn't help but notice you're without reinforcements. It seems to be a horrible tragedy that you fight this battle against the odds. Allow me to help you, I may not be extremely powerful, but I know I can be of help."

Without waiting for an answer, the witch pointed at the Hunter. She began to chant in words belonging to the ancients, breeze picking up. And as she spoke, a vine sprouted from the ground, and Pumpkins sprung from the vine in seconds. From there they became almost humanoid, with giant shields made of pumpkin shell and swords made of candles.

Player Phase 2!

Lucille moves to F4.

Quickly, Lucille changed targets to the obviously dangerous huntress. She took off and skidded to a halt in front of her after which she placed a single piece of paper on the huntress's chest. Suddenly, a strange force blasted through her and pushed her back into one of the pumpkin guards.

Lucille uses Paper Force on Izuna! 7 Dmg! (ATK)

MP: 11/15

Izuna is forced to F6!

Dale moves to F2.

That attack was deadly. Stamina was not something that he was known for. Spell incantations, however, that was a different story. He moved forward, looking through the branches at the girl who attacked him. She would be an ideal target for his attack. He turned the pages to the correct page and started reading.


As he spoke, the characters lifted off the page and flew towards the girl, spiraling around her faster and faster before collapsing unto her body, printing across her skin and garments, sealing her away from the rest of the world.

Dale cast Sealing Words[-16MP][MP: 2] on Izuna! Izuna is Sealed!

Satisfied with his work, he ran his eyes of the page, quickly picking and assembling characters into a sentence in his mind. "A good example of a the power of words, don't you think? Nothing Personal, though." The selected characters glowed as he spoke, lifting off the page before hurdlig to strike Izuna.

Tamashi moves to D6.

The witch had cast some strange spell which summoned a bunch of pumpkin things. He shrugged and merely navigated around them to get a better shot at the clawed man sneaking around in the northern part of the area. He drew his bow all the way back and released the arrow he had nocked prior to the shot. The arrow soared through the air and embedded itself into the man.

Player Phase 3!

Lucille attacks Elena! 6 Dmg! (ATK)

The ones with the bows seemed to separate leaving the witch in perfect range for her attack. She smoothed out another wrinkled piece of paper and tossed it at her. The paper soared through the air and cut the witch's arm, blood trickling from the wound. The bloodied piece of paper landed solemnly on the ground.

Lucille moves to I3.

The Script Read was supposedly dead, but Axis only cared for the battle itself. He glanced at the Hunter who had wounded him with nothing else than a pathetic wooden arrow. The Murder Claw made a sadistic grin before fading into nonexistence, small eruptions on the earth (Sequenced on a running-like, alternating pattern) followed immediately after due to the amazing speed Axis was running. He stopped directly in front of one of the three enchanted, humanoid-shaped pumpkins, delivering two direct slashes on it.

Axis moves to E5 (D3 - E3 - E4 - E5).

Axis attacks Pumpkin Guard! 5 Damage!

Ah, bliss~
Books as far as the eye can see~

Dale was in heaven. Shelves upon shelves upon rows upon stacks of books. Vaguely he realized that he most of fallen in battle and was having an out-of-body experience, but with this many books to read and enjoy and decipher, he didn't care. He grabbed a stack and settled into a convenient chair, position his glasses and started to read.

Enemy Phase 3!

Tamashi moves to F5.

While one of the enemies was distracted by a pumpkin guard, Tamashi hopped over it and rushed right next to the man. With great agility, the hunter dealt the man a vicious slash across the side, blood leaking out and spilling onto the unforgiving earth. "Be careful with what affairs you get entangled with," Tamashi spat.

Tamashi attacks Axis! 7 Dmg! (ATK)

Elena casts Warped Spirits on Axis!
(Damage: 60% Pierce Int/Effect: Lasts 3 Turns/Element: --)

Elena took the paper blow willingly, looking down at the cut as it slowly began to mend. She smiled softly and then decided to take it out on the boy attacking her pumpkin guards. She raised her hand at the boy. Suddenly rapid phrases shot from her mouth, almost angrily, spirits crawling forth and wrapping around his body.

Player Phase 4!

Lucille moves to H6.

It was almost time. Lucille took out another crumpled piece of paper, smoothed it out and tossed it at the witch. It cut her right across the arm again, but that wasn't the point. The final step in her plan was ready to be activated. She just had to charge up and unleash her most powerful move. It would at least get rid of her main enemies cronies. Tamashi, the hunter, was another case.

Lucille attacks Elena! 6 Dmg! (ATK)

"Really?" Axis replied to the Hunter, glancing at the crimson liquid on his wounded side. "You should instead be more careful to know who you are attacking because..."

The Murder Claw swiftly crouched after taking a few steps towards the Hunter, who had no time to react while Axis impulsed himself upward with his open hand and slashed his target deeply and diagonally, while shouting out loud rhythmically.

"...I'll rip. You. To. SHREDS!" The last word Axis shouted was synchronized perfectly with a fierce stab in the open wound.

Axis recoiled his arm, just to see the Hunter tumble backwards, nearly hitting a tree on his right. Then, he quickly sidestepped and took cover behind a bunch of aligned trees to null a potential counter-attack.
