hi all~
i'm back from the hellish rain of works and deadlines! let me use this as a warming up.



ALQUIMISTA



Prologue
Life, it’s the greatest force in this world. To control life and death, that’s
mankind’s greatest will. And in this world, there’re a place known as source of
all life, a place which directly connected to where all life force coming from.
People called it ‘Well of Life’.

Many centuries, mankind seeks for the Well of Life for various reasons;
resurrect someone they loved, gain a power to manipulate living being, and most
of them are seeking for every man’s dream, Immortality. And the key to gain Well
of Life’s power lies in a small red stone called ‘Philosopher stone’. The search
of both Philosopher Stone and Well of Life continued for many centuries and
caused countless war and conflict. But even after the World War I ended,
Philosopher Stone are nowhere to be found. No one ever knows its whereabouts nor
see it at all. Slowly, the modern industrial age and advance technology wipe out
all the information about both the stone and the well. People no longer believe
in their existence and soon both become just a ‘legend’.

But the truth, they’re not just a legend. The Philosopher stone which believed
to be disappeared still exists until now. That stone were shattered into pieces
and scattered all over the world. The stone were attracting some ‘special’
people which have ‘potency’ within them. By holding the stone’s piece, they gain
some particular ability to manipulate and change nature. Those people were
called ‘Alchemist’. Although their existence are currently lumped together with
black magic and dark arts which currently feared and terrorized people, although
their existence are considered as a taboo and they were hunted to death by
people, they continue to exist by passing down the stone and knowledge to next
generation.

Now, some countries which still ambitious to find the stone and the well
secretly began to search them. Alchemists also began to move, in order to
fulfill their duties, desire, ambition, and as well preparing for the next
'chaos'.


Setting
The setting mainly taking time during the industrial era in a peace time 20
years after the World War I ended and taking place around Europe especially
London as the main stage.

London, the place which rumors said to be the location where The Well of Life
resides. Even though no one ever to find it, it's enough to attract some
alchemist to gather there.

At that time, mysterious cases of murderer and unexplainable corpse arise in
London, and the urban legend creature called ‘Ghoul’ mysteriously terrorizing
the entire city. Even alchemists can't explain this phenomenon.

About Alchemist
The concept of alchemist here are those who have special potency to manipulate
nature. Alchemist is title for those who have that potency. They need ‘formula’
in form of a circle or other shape and ‘material’ also their own energy in order
to do that. Due to the limited energy they have, Alchemist usually only take 1
major technique as their specialty. The holders of the stone are not quite
different from the normal one, but they don’t need the formula to perform their
technique.

In current world, Alchemy are classified as taboo and lumped together with black
magic and dark arts. Most of those alchemist hide their potency and working in
the shadow to avoid public attention.



Element
Normal Alchemist and stone holder one can only take 1 kind of element as their
major specialty. In this world, they use western element classification and
theory. Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind

And they only take few kind of technique especially for battle purpose. That’s
due to their energy limitation and the preparation that need to be prepared
before. They usually use a catalyst or weapon engraved with the formula in order
to shorten the preparation. The same things to the stone holder who tend to put
the stone into accessories or weapons.



‘Well of Life’ and ‘Philosopher Stone’
In this world, Well of Life is a source of all life force and Philosopher Stone
are the key that will lead the holder to the Well. By using the power of Well of
Life, they could obtain ability to control life and death, creating new life,
and gain immortality. While the stone it self hold the power to manipulate
nature and contain an endless knowledge within it.

Back in the past, both of them become major conflict between many people who
want to monopolize and use it for their own purpose. But since the World War I
ended, the information about those two is now disappearing. Public are now see
both Well of Life and Philosopher stone as a legend or just a folktales.



Ghoul
It’s an urban legend creature said to roaming all over London recently. Ghouls
said to be the one to blame for countless unexplainable murder case and strange
corpse. They only appear at night. They’re actually a corpse that somehow
'alive' when the night come. Ghoul has a super power strength and sometimes has
a monstrous form or combined form of living creature (similar to chimera).

Public currently doesn’t know exactly the existence of this creature, they
thought that it’s just another psycho murderer who still roaming in the city.
Even in the police department, not many know exactly about them, only few which
have some special position and authority from government who were informed about
them. And they tend to hire Alchemist to deal with them.



Rule
- Alchemist are not god, their ability, energy and stamina are limited. They
also not a super human, their body is completely the same as normal human.
- The usage of the alchemy is more similar to ‘magic’ but with some 'scientific
logic’ within it. So you can be free to imagine how to use it (you don’t really
have to calculate nor think too much about the science, but still use some
logic).
- Alchemist can only take 1 element.
- Alchemist’s technique is specific and limited.
- Try not to be just a ‘bystander’, ‘student’ or ‘civilian’. Be something that
have connection and role in the story and setting.
- You can play as or take control of that time famous figure.



General Rule
- Normal Gendou Rules.
- No god-mode or power-playing. We're all talented writers here. please consider
when you can win and when you have to lose.
- Quality posts, be creative, which means avoid one-liners. I'm not too strict
with language use, as long as everyone can understand your writing that's enough
- No killing other player's character without their permission and my
permission.
- Be realistic and use your imagination, you need to know how to react in your
role, and you’re not a perfect being.
- You can take more than 1 character, and feel free to create any number of
minor characters. But, take your own risk and be responsible to your own
character.
- Submit me any ideas you have or PM me about anything you want to ask. I also
accept any critic and comment or even a protest.
- Tell us if you can’t post for some period or want to quit.
- Romance always welcome, but consider your condition and don’t ignoring other
player (unless they caused some trouble).
- Also this story will probably adapted and published as a comic just like
'Phantasmagoria' RP which now has been adapted and published as a comic series
in Indonesia (the title adapted into 'Fatamorgana'). So let's make this
interesting ^____^
- Have fun. That's RP all about right!

point, easy going.

Skills and Specialty: a refined Journalist and writter skill, master of several
hand to hand combat, trained physic, wide link of information and access due to
her profesion.

Bio:
Born as a lady in Amber family who own many giant industrial and export firms in
London and France, Vita was raised as a fine lady who will marry those chosen by
her father. But she felt uncomfortable with that kind of live and decide to run
away from her house in France to England when she’s 10 years old. Of course it’s
hard for such a little lady to survive in that heavy industrialized city. But
fortunately, she was found by a man named Rowan who works as a researcher for
government laboratory.

Rowan took care of Vita since then, and soon after that, Vita discovered Rowan’s
second job, Alchemist. Rowan who saw potency in Vita thought her all he know
about alchemy. For about 10 years, Vita learns the art of alchemy from Rowan and
become a splendid alchemist. In that time too, Rowan also thought her about
martial arts, especially hand to hand combat which was his specialty.

But 7 years ago, when Vita was 20, Rowan suddenly disappeared; leaving Vita with
his laboratory and a package contained a short letter and Rowan’s weapon, his
gauntlet. Later, she found out that Rowan was involved in a case related to the
legend, Philosopher Stone and Well of Life. And she also found out that the
gauntlets which always worn by Rowan, contain a shard of Philosopher Stone which
become Rowan’s secret of his unbelieveable alchemy.

Now, in order to find Rowan, Vita works as a journalist in Daily – in order to
search for any information about Rowan’s whereabout. At the same time, she often
hired by some higher ups in police department and government to handle recent
case involving Ghoul.

Stone Catalyst:
Dollem
A black gauntlet made of refined metal with simple golden decoration and red
blood colored shard of philosopher stone inside it. Vita wear it on her right

gauntlet.

Ability and Description:
Vita specialized Dollem to master art of alchemy of earthly material, especially
stone, dirt, and sand.
Sentry Touch – Vita could only manipulate earthly material which touched by her
Dollem. But since her stamina and energy limit, also for fighting efficiency,
she mainly use it to form stone made sword edges in a small area of circle
(around 1 – 2 meter of diameter) around the place she touch to both attack her
opponent and defend herself.

Sword Graveyard – A long range version of sentry touch. She could
manipulate a distance area which made by earthly material and other earthly
material which connected directly to the earthly material she touch into a sword
edges. But more distance, number, area of effect and size will consume more
time, concentration and energy. Due to these disadvantages, she can't use it
too much.

Metal Bending – a high level alchemy technique which allow her to manipulate
metal material she touch. But since it’s not really her specialty, it require a
lot of concentration and a lot more energy than manipulating stone. She also
could only manipulate a single object she hold in her hand.

Wow this is quite a unique story and idea, kyoshiro.

I am joining. :D

Name : Satsuki Kiryuu
Title : Bloody Rose
Age : 28
Gender : Male
Nationality : Irish
Job : Alchemist; Engineer
Personality : Cold, aloof, calm, sad and somber but does not show it.
Skill and Specialty : Excel at using guns and hand to hand combat; good with machines especially fixing and examining them. Highly intelligent along photographic memory. Keen Reflexes.

Bio : Satsuki is born in a noble-Irish family, who had been inventing machines and fixing them for generation. One would have call that his family are blacksmiths many centuries ago. Though Satsuki is a ful-bred Irish, his name differs it. Mainly because his grandfather had high interest in Japanese culture. Although, the kiryuu family are blacksmith/inventors/engineers. They all excel in combat mainly because they have to often test out their work. The kiryuu family are also a family of alchemist dealing with the element fire or air mostly; mainly uses it for there work. Satsuki's family is consider peaceful unless provoked.

Because his family are all blacksmiths, satsuki also had interest in anything to do with machines or invention. Satsuki grew up happy, always smiling and laughing. But those days are gone since the day his whole family was killed. . . He was left alive, because his family hid him. Though they hid him, he watched through a small hole as a group of soldiers brutally killed his family. He watched as his family fought back. But to great number from the enemy, his family was killed. He watched while seething with hatred; he vow to avenge his family and kill the soldiers responsible for his family's death.

After that day, Satsuki packed his stuff and walked out of the house and was never seen again. 17 years have passed since that day. It was 17 years ago that his happiness was smashed.

Stone Catalyst : Oblivion: Planted into a special black ring with few symbols on it.

Ability and Description :
A white gem stone embedded in a black ring with symbols etched around it; its abilities enable Satsuki to control air pressure.

Black Storm: As the name suggested, this ability allows Satsuki to bring out a huge typhoon attacking his enemies in its path. However, this ability only last about an hour or so. Satsuki will have to wait 24 hours to fully recharge his energy. Reason is that creating a typhoon takes a lot of energy and consider his strongest attack.

Swift movement: Using the power of air, Satsuki could easily move at a fast speed. With this he can easily dodge any sword like attack with ease. This is mainly use to escape through zero exposure. Beside moving at fast speed, Satsuki could also slow the speed of small non-living objects such as bullets for 3 seconds by using a small air pressure around the object making it go a little slower. He only use this when there are numerous bullets aiming at him or someone he cares for. (Note: he is not manipulating time but the air pressure)

Edge Bullet: Activating his ring, using his gun that he modified to accept his alchemy power. The bullets will be made of air. However, when the air bullet made impact, it damages anything it impacts on the cellular level. This take a lot of energy. He can only use this attack 3 or 4 times( Think of Naruto's Rasenshuriken).

Appearance :

Extra: Satsuki only carries guns( able to use normal bullets) for back-up or emergency only.

@zero
this is a result of brainstorming between me and Ashura XD

by the way, become 'invisible' or 'blend to shadow' is quite not scientific since
we're here using alchemy here (it's rather too magical, although i said not to
think to much about the scientific process, please make something that can be
accepted in alchemy). I suggest something like creating mist or something
like that which still could be done through manipulating air.
and for the 'blade edge' since you're referring it to naruto's rasenshuriken, then
please make a 'bullet' limit for it. (considering it's 'one-hit-kill' like damage,
shall we make it 3 or 4)

done before then and when i Return I will be responsible
to keep up.




Name : Elenna Ivanova
Title : Priestess
Age : 17
Gender : Female

Nationality : Russian
Job : Alchemist | Student

Personality : On the surface,Lena displays a mature sort of personality. She is decidedly stubborn and strong-willed yet kindhearted, notably compassionate and patient almost to a fault, acting often out of protective selflessness for her loved ones and new friends. She also wields a level of intellect and sometimes is considered to be very quite.

Stone Catalyst :
Kalesis Specializes in using energy alchemy. The stone is composed withing a pendulum shape necklace that she wears, With a midnight violet color. By merely wearing it she can use her palms creating an energy circulation using her own will as a substitute for the necessary runes.

This remarkable talent makes her summonings both instantaneous and incredibly versatile, allowing her to use alchemy to its potential.

Ability and Description :

Crimson She releases a power of Blue spark forming a large swarm of energy blast with speed and ability to track down and destroy enemies, by there body's energy or any energy content around the target.

Limit or Compensation

Crimson is a very basic alchemy technique, but the energy blast used for this can only reach
around 1 – 3 meter of diameter making it questionably difficult to track a quick moving target


Aster is a very powerful technique which can only be used by the current holder of the title "Priestess". It breaks the seal which encloses the Kalesis particles. Using her Palms she creates an energy circulation, blue sparks emits high-frequency, high-amplitude energy waves, meant to make an enemy faint or even bleed by its high source of energy wave.

Limit or compensation

The Aster is based on energy balanced by the users own, a high level alchemy technique. To this ability the user must be in complete coordination, leaving a disadvantages to defend if attacked. Aster takes a large amount of energy, if prolonged the casters energy could "berserk" and inflict direct damage to it self.

Name: Gareth Jaeger

Title: The Crimson Rune

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Nationality: Finland

Job: Alchemist, Detective

Personality: Gareth is extroverted, passionate, enthusiastic, brave, valiant and hot-tempered.

Skills and Specialty: Great observer, excellent eye for details, inquisitive mind, trained hand-to-hand combatant,
excellent marksman, remarkable stamina, has sources in the underground, law enforcement and journalism

Bio: Born in Finland Gareth was hit by a wanderlust when he was 17, he wandered around Finland for a year and when
he was 18 he took off and started wandering around Europe. When he was 20 he settled in England using the skills he
had picked up during his journey to his advantage, becoming a private detective.

He had changed his name prior to leaving Finland on the suggestions of his teacher, who taught him alchemy while
Gareth was still in Finland. This alchemy makes a great use of runes using them to modify, strenghten or weaken
alchemy, the runes can be inscribed on a piece of paper, but more permanent the rune stronger it becomes. In addition
to other things he picked up bits and pieces of different alchemy styles forging them into his own.

He has worked for all kinds of people during the four years, from ordinary citizens to the members of government and
more often than not he has managed to solve his cases. He has reputation as fair man, but one that shouldn't be pushed
too far.

On his 21st birthday he received a present from one of his first clients, a gunsmith, specially made 12 chambered
revolver with a second barrel that holds specially made shotgun shells for those tight spots. The secondary barrel
only holds a single shell and Gareth usually carries only a single spare shell with him. The caliber of the revolver
is smaller than usual, but is quite accurate.

He recently got hired by a government member to look into the ghoul incidents, whenever he has time and since the pay
was good and he could still take other cases he agreed.

Stone Catalyst:
Ruby, Bloodstar: Partly translucent ruby with color like freshly spilled blood and with a darker red star in it's
center. Worked into his belt buckle and hidden from plain sight.

Ability and Description:
Bloodstar's abilities are concentrated on controlling two different aspects of fire, heat and light.

Ignis Fatuus (Foolish fire): A simple ability used to emit light, he needs to use either reflective or clear item
insribed with a simple rune to focus the power. Spherical shape allows him the greatest control of the ability allowing
him to cast the light all around or as a focused beam similar to flashlight. He can also use the ability to release a
blinding flash of light, but this use destroys the focus item. The energy used my this ability is minimal, the flash
uses more energy, but not that much.

Flamma Occultus (Hidden flame): More complicated ability with primary use to exhange heat between objects. Gareth must
be touching the object he wishes to transfer heat with. He can either transfer heat into the object or draw the heat
from the object, drawing heat from objects is the more energy consuming effort, though both of these can be sped up and
made to use less energy if Gareth is able to mark the object with an alchemic circle. He can heat combustible objects
enough for the to catch fire and with effort he can melt metals. The secondary use of this ability makes him able to
reject heat energy making him impervious to heat, this uses less energy than the primary use, but it is still rather
draining if used extensively.

Deus Rubra (Red god): The most powerful ability Gareth is currently able to use, this ability calls forth a sphere of
flame from which Gareth then fashions projectiles. The number of projectiles varies from 1-13 and their destructive
ability depends on how much energy Gareth used for the initial sphere and how many projectiles he splits the sphere into.
These projectiles can then be thrown at the enemy, in this case part of the projectile's energy is used to accelerate
the projectile to greater speed, or he can use a further ritual to bind the projectile's energy into his bullets, this use
requires him to split the energy into 12 or 13 projectiles as the bullets capability of holding such energy is limited,
but in this case all of the projectile's energy is delivered into the target.

However, his blades can only cut through objects once before they need to be re-sharpened.

Restoration
Restoration allows him to permanently convert one object to a very small colored box the size of a quarter. When the box is taken out and “restored”, it will revert itself to its original form. But the weight of each box is fixed to 500 g no matter what the object once was. He can only convert non-living (metal, stone etc.) objects that are smaller than himself. He uses this ability to carry around dozens of objects, from pens to shields and swords.

With a touch of his box, he can use alchemy to open a slot to one or multiple swords. The box itself is made of an extremely strong and rare material. It is heavily resistant to damage and can only be manipulated by Culpas unique stone catalyst (Morrigan). The box itself is light weight, but most of it's weight comes from the 14 swords sealed within.

Name : Jarvan Fowl
Title : The Count
Age : 26
Gender : Male
Nationality : England
Job : Vicount of Chelsea, Scotland Yard Detective, Alchemist

Personality : Jarvan is a complex person with several layers to his true motives. He is able to switch personalities at the drop of a hat from a calm and cool nobleman to that of a fun loving man or that of a serious detective. At his core, Jarvan dislikes nobles and hates having to deal with them. He respects and has the respect of the police and detectives of Scotland Yard and trusts only them to watch his back. Jarvan has two younger sisters and does not associate with them whenever possible as he thinks they have the same personality. Jarvan spends most of his time at the Yard and only returns to his home to sleep and such. When dealing with enemies his speaks in a polite manner but often mocks and taunts them to cause them to lose their cool. Despite being a flame alchemist, Jarvan hates hot weather and Summer especially. He enjoys the cool feel of winter and autumn.

Skill and Specialty : Extremely good Detective skills, skilled hand to hand combatant, has a large network of informers and underground information brokers, posses a high rank and wealth in society. Highly skilled marksman and swordsman.

Bio : The Fowl family is one of the oldest and most noble houses of Britain and its latest scion, Jarvan is another illustrious member. Early in his life, Jarvan never agreed with the policies of his family especially in those dealing with those of a lower rank. He left home early and at the age of 15 joined up with Scotland Yard. Originally, they were reluctant to have one so young but Jarvan proved himself over and over again to gain his comrades trust. Jarvan worked his way up the ranks for 7 years before an interesting letter arrived.

Apparently his parents were both killed during a trip to India and as the oldest male son, Jarvan was declared as the next Count Fowl. Jarvan took over the Fowl family and despite being the head of it, has little contact with the other family members. He has used the resources at his disposal to assist in the improvement of Scotland Yard. One day, while looking through the attic of Fowl Manor, Jarvan found an decorated box. Opening it, he found a beautiful green gem and a note. The note was from his grandfather whom had discovered the gem in India and it also contained information about Philosopher Stones and the Well of Life. The note also explained the properties of "Oathkeeper" as the gem was named.

Jarvan placed the gem onto is forehead where it seemed to fuse slightly with the skin there and he trained for almost a year to develop his new found abilities in many ways. He returned to Scotland Yard with the information and was immediately granted an audience with the queen herself. Explaining the information he possessed, the Queen granted Jarvan carte blanche to find the well and Scotland Yard to assist him in anyway possible without hindering their daily duties. Jarvan was accepted as Vicount of Chelsea and granted the official (but secret) position of Royal Alchemist.

Now Jarvan with the aid of Scotland Yard have been turned loose on England with the following mission: Find the Well of Life. Secondary missions included finding and ferreting out foreign spies that are also trying to located the well and maintenance of public ignorance of the situation.

Stone Catalyst : Oathkeeper - A green gem found on his forehead similar to an Indian tika.

Ability and Description :
Oathkeeper grants an increased focus of fire. He is able to command any fire in his vicinity with devastating efficiency. He can also manipulate temperatures in the vicinity or in an object. In more detail, compared to other fire focusing stones, Oathkeeper fails. Is true power lies in control of temperature and heat through particles and energy. In this manner, it is said to be one of the best 'fire' type focuses.

a)Snapshot - Using a pair of gloves made of "gunpowder cloth" and embroidered with unique flame alchemy Transmutation Circles, these gloves create a spark when Jarvan rubs his fingers together and allow him to manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air surrounding his target, raising its density to a level at which it becomes combustible and creating narrow pathways of oxygen through which he can direct the ensuing flame birthed by the spark. The 'snap' sound is caused by the instantaneous speed at which the gases and sparks react together and pop. It cannot be used on rainy days because the humidity makes it impossible for his gloves to produce sparks. Also, he cannot use this ability without his gloves of if his gloves are wet. Constant and heavy use tires him very easily.

b)Wildcards: Loaded Dice/Side Bets - Jarvan carries a pack of playing cards with him at all times. Wildcards is the ability to tap into the potential energy contained within a non-living object and transform it into kinetic energy upon touching it. By using this ability on his playing cards, the Wildcard ability is activated. He can then use either Loaded Dice or Side Bets. When using Loaded Dice, the cards become extremely sharp and able to cut through objects. When using Side Bets, the cards releases their contained energy explosively on impact.

c)Agni Schiwatas (Flame God's Breath) - A very high level technique. it allows him to speed up kinetic energy resulting in massive explosion and melting solid objects. The sheer destruction caused by this technique is devastating. However, Jarvan can only use Agni Schiwatas 3 times a week. Any more and he will be engulfed by his own fire resulting in massive damage to himself.

@All
thank you for participating and welcome~
now i'll mention some change for some character mentioned down here.

@Zero
Although you have fixed the 3rd skill, the ability to become invisible still
bugging me. please do something about that. and sorry, i didn't read the first
part back then, but 'flying', 'manipulating oxygen', 'manipulating temperature'
... that will make your ability become 6... and looking at your majority of
other skills, i suggest you decrease it into one, manipulating air movement or
something like that maybe. and about flying, i guess 'throwing' your self into ]
the air or 'gliding' (like a flying fox) would be better.

@Fairy
beware of using 'predict future action' things. It tend to be a quite annoying and
tend to make the character become god-like. No need to change, but don't abusing
that skill.

@Frozen
i'm sorry to say this, but you have to change your bio. It's too out of story
and quite non sense. There're no slider, other dimension people, demon king
or something like that in this story. Make your character completely human from
this earth. other skills... i guess no problem

@henri
yo~! welcome back madam!
nice one as ever, and you did use your real name there, nice one XD

@Roxas
your 2nd skill a bit bugging me, can you please decide whether to increase speed
or changing direction of you bullet?

place. sorry for making some change to your character, it's for the sake of
