For anyone wishing to play a character, just follow the steps shown in the image. Listed below is also a text-based summary as a sort of assistant primer to help provide clarity to your choices.

Step One: Get a Job
Characters begin play with a Job of their choosing, which can also be considered their class. Jobs provide proficiencies for weapons, and a subtle means to equip gear other than the character's arsenal. This includes new clothes, armour, and accessories. There is now also the option of starting as a Gobbo race, which is an option taken in addition to a job.
Note: The first letter of your Job's name will be your designation (Shown to be [A] [B] [C] [G] [H] [R] or [W] currently)

Step 2: Educate Yourself!
From your Job, pick two skills. An example would be a Highwayman taking [Aim] and [Threaten] after choosing a Rifle for their weapon. This allows them to constantly improve their chance to hit with their shots on top of dealing extra damage, and the ability to cover allies through intimidation.

Any two skills from that class are suitable.

If you decided to choose a Gobbo, then you only pick one skill from your class. The second skill is chosen from your racial options between [Beast Tamer] and [Journeyman].

Step Three: Arm Yourself
Of your available proficiencies, pick one. You'll get the standard weapon of that group, which will be visible in the next image for full detail. A summary of the weapon groups will be listed below.

Melee Weapons

Axe - Blade-headed weapons with a high damage output and capacity for inflicting a variety of debilitations on defenders.
>Carver - Hit: C, Dmg: B [Str: B] Traits: Beast Killer, Harvest

Knife - Short, bladed weapons with a tendency towards devious or clever strategies. Best in the hands of an opportunist.
>Promise - Hit: A, Dmg: D [Dex: A, Spd: B] Traits: Backstab, Anticipate

>Persuasion - Hit: C, Dmg: A [Dex: B, Spd: C, Att: C] Traits: Point Blank


Step Four: Deploy
Just fill out this character sheet and have the top line in your post name, and you'll be ready for play!
Note: Make sure to always post your character sheet when you post actions, take your turn, or otherwise are doing something in game. Also be sure to link to posts you're interacting with. Think of it like the wire on a classic controller: you can't play if it's not connected!

With their numbers bolstered, the party attempts to once again rushdown Fawkes.

>>1001238
>Yegor (Jora) Georgiy
Bill (Billy) William. This doesn't really make sense. If his name is Yegor (and Jora for friends) then he should also have a patronymic. Also, I hope you understand that Valera is a male name.

Last time, after waking up, you decided to go look for Valera after she had abruptly disappeared from the room you had been in and left you behind as a result while you were putting your uniform back on.

When you enter the hallway, you notice that its completely empty. There's no sign of life except for a food cart outside one of the other rooms with several trays of food laying there unattended.

>Ignore the food, you're really not that hungry anyway
>Take a portion of the food and sit down to eat, some of it was probably intended for you anyway
>Go look inside the room that the cart is stationed next to, the door seems to be open
>Other (Write-in)

>>1001247
I didn't choose the MC's name, it was suggested and chosen by the players during character creation.

Also Valeri (or Valery) is the name you're probably looking for, Valera is the Female equivelant of that in the Russian naming convention but they both are used as girl names, though the latter is used a lot more rarely.

>>1001260
The female variant of Valeriy is Valeria. Valera is a diminutive of Valery, a male name.

"Thanks for the bean," you tell Korin before leaping off of the tower.

Flying upward, you soon reach the top of Kami's Lookout, finding the old Guardian standing outside, evidently having been waiting for you.

"Hello, Tofoo," he greets as you land in front of him. "I'm glad to see you alive and well. Things are certainly looking bad, and this new foe of yours has an all-too familiar feel to him."

The red head girl frowns, her freckled face reminding me a bit of a fresh baked loaf of bread....godamn, why am I already hungry again? this is bullshit.

"Sorry" She says meekly lowering her head "I'm not used to carrying dragon girls, usually they..."

"What? think I'll snap at ya cause I can't fly? Fuck that, I prefer having my feet on the ground anyways" I laugh, making her smile as she unsteadily trots up a moss covered stone bridge, and I grab onto the cart so I don't smack my face again

"Oh, you're like me then?"She asks simply as I lay back, and look at the scales covering my arms

Pamela was right...they really do look better after a thorough washing, they're shiner than they're usually are and feel a little lighter somehow

"Look can you just get me to the inn?" I ask impatiently, tapping the scales on my face with my claws "I mean I'm all for sitting here chatting with you, but I really have things I need to do"

"Oh" She says sadly, hanging her head as as she begins to head down the other side of the bridge "but...are you really sure you don't want to take a quick stop? I mean, no reason in rushing right? besides walking under the sun should wake you up a bit, and I know there's a wonderful cafe somewhere around here"

What do I do?
[] apologize to her
[] angrily snap at her
[] Ask what's taking her so long to get there
[] Ask how long I've been out, and how far the inn is
[] take her advice, take my hoodie off and "frolic" *Aura of wilting*
[] "So what's the deal with those cat girls in those retarded looking jackets"
[]Make a quick stop at the cafe she was talking about
[] Glare at her to get my point across
[] Just idly chat with her, trying not to be too mean
[] climb over the cart and ride her 1d20+str
[] write in

I'm thinking here. Don't know a lot of military stuff but I'll try.

Liv is not in the LAB anymore, she doesn't know where she is in fact.

It was one blink, and now she is in a black void. There is a figure mumbling to himself behind her. There is red writing in front of her. Should she speak to the figure behind her first or look at the writing?

>>997769
Oh fuck.
Let's address the figure first on the off chance they attack us while we try to read the writing.

>Father Stanley MacKay

Mercifully, your entrance into the settlement is devoid of any sort of run-in with the jailers, who appear to be more humanoid than you initially thought. They do not sprint as much as they do shuffle towards the source of the commotion at a regular, but determined pace. A small force of masked humanoids, each wielding a branding iron and a pale blue lantern, slowly makes their way towards the north side.

The settlement itself is something straight out of a Christmas card. The domain takes cues from the commonly accepted image of what the North Pole would be: a quiet, 17th/18th century Germanic village completely covered in snow and Christmas décor. Gas lamps flicker to provide some semblance of illumination, reflecting off the snow-covered cobblestone in eerie shapes and colors.

Just like the forest outside the settlement, this too is a place locked in time, preserved for all eternity. It would make a nice Christmas card, you suppose, if it was not for the Corruption.

You feel it the instant you take a step on it, the oily and putrid stench of filth that you once smelled in Titania’s forest. Evil has taken hold of this place, turning this quiet town into one of horror and nightmares. Several of the buildings are little more than rubble, some still even smoldering wrecks. Blood stains the walls, the ground, and the air itself is filled with the metallic scent of iron.

Yet that isn’t even the worst of it…

Even behind her visor, you can see Victoria paling. “…are those…Santa’s…” She’s unable to finish her sentence before she loses her composure and the morning’s breakfast all over the wall.

From the alley where you take cover, you can still see the horrible sight. In the center of the town, embedded on pikes that stick out of the ground, the sightless eyes of seven reindeer stare out into the distance. Their deaths had not been gentle, evidenced from the way their spines are still attached to their heads.

“…oh, shit.” Fitz curses.

You whisper your agreement, even as a cold pit forms in your stomach. “Indeed…”

To his credit, Brady only gags once, quickly transitioning into report mode. “…I’m getting a faint reading,” he whispers, patting Victoria on the back as she continue to puke. “…it’s…it’s a COMP signal…but it’s buried too much interference.”

Fitz is on him in an instant. “It’s Adrain,” She mutters, “It has to be…Brady, where’s it coming from?”

He frowns, adjusting one of the dials with his one free hand. “It’s small, but it’s there…pointing us in…that direction.”

He points towards what looks like a warehouse, half-collapsed from both the heavy snowfall and a weak structure. At the sole entrance, what looks like three of the strange humanoids patrol the street. Two stand at the door, even while one makes circles around the street.

“…any other mooks in the vicinity?” She asks, all the while analyzing the guards.

“...no, the closest ones are all still moving in the direction of the Vatican agents. Why?”

It hits you harder than an eighteen wheeler barreling down a suburban road. Oh dear. “Fitz, wait-” You hiss, but it’s too late.

By the time the words exit your mouth and your hand reaches towards your friend, she’s already gone. She races towards the demons in a dead sprint, hand flying towards her COMP as she brandishes an elemental stone. Her demons materialize by her side as the guards take notice of her charge, cocking their heads curiously at the charging woman.

But they’re too slow. Even as they begin to raise their weapons, Fitz already crushes the stone in her hand, summoning a torrent of winds that slice at the guards. Even as they stagger under the force of the squall, whose flurries are sharp enough to cut through metal, she already barks out another command. Lham Dearg falls upon the patrolling humanoid as Apsaras buffs the three of them.

“…dammit, Fitz…” Victoria moans. She still looks green around the gills, but it seems that the worst of her spell has come to pass. “…we have to…to help her…”

Brady curses, hastily standing up and fumbling at his jacket. “Damn. Is he that good in bed to just blindly charge after him?”

It’s a joke, but you can’t help but give your friend a withering stare. He quails under your disappointed gaze before you retract it after a second's meditation. “Come on,” You sigh, “If your reading’s correct, then Adrian’s bound to be in the building. And hurry. The sooner we take them out, the less chance we have of being discovered…”

Case in point when another explosion from the north sends a deafening CRACK reverberating along the walls and stones of the North Pole…

>Keep your distance and engage.

“Keep your distance and engage the enemy at will,” You shout, sprinting to catch up with Fitz. The familiar weight of your knife fills your hands, but it’s more of a last resort more than anything else. Against these unknown enemies that have more than enough strength to casually stop you from rescuing Adrian back in the embassy, it’s definitely better to be safe rather than sorry.

With a flash of light, the demons best suited for this situation materialize into the air. Hua Po shivers by your shoulder, but whether or not she’s moving from the cold or the grisly sight is anyone’s guess. And Bastiel the Unicorn rears, stomping its hooves onto the snow-covered ground. You know the gaze in his green eyes, one filled with hate and loathing towards evil. It’s one that you recognize all too well…

“The enemy is before us,” You intone, reaching into your pocket. “Stand and fight against the corruption!”
