Curse of Renovamen

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Curse of Renovamen

Curse of Renovamen

An old man steps onto a crate in the town square and begins his preach.  
Hear my warning and don't go to the Northern Lands. 
For there lies the Tower of Renovamen
Tower of Renovamen is a very interesting one.
There are legends of great treasures and glory to those who make it to the top
Don't listen to such bribes! 
For there you're soul will be anchored! Those who enter never leave! 
To go through extreme pain and suffering, only to find out that not even death can save you from the misery. 
To die, again and again. To feel every second of it. Only to wake up in the first room. Beasts with fangs and claws. Traps that melt off your flesh. The endless limbo of suffering. 
No glory or treasure is worth such agony! 
The Curse of Renovamen is nothing to mess with.
Only those who make it to the top can be free of the curse. And make off with the treasures that lie within! 
Or so legend says.... 
You listen to the Old Man but you brunsh these off as rambling. A tower that prevents death. Please. You're too old for such fairy tales. But you have notice that those who claim they'll go never come back. And promise of treasure? You decide to not heed the warnings. 
Now rules
RULE NUMBER ONE: DEATH IS NOT FINAL. You'll wake up in the first room, unless you have found an artifact that revives you. 
2, no Opness, it's unlikely that you'll be able to make it to the top unscathed. 
3, be realistic, no one can one punch a beast to oblivion. 
4, shipping is fine but don't overdo it. 
5, jerkness is allowed but if you die, you "friends" will most likely raid your corpse than carry you with hopes of revival. 
6, You don't have to be human, I'll allow all walks of life. You could even be a beast with hopes of seeing the outside world for the first time or plan the demise of those pesky intruders. 
7,  Skills,  you can make them up but they can't be overpowered. There more powerful the move,  the more energy it'll sap from you. You can gain skills by reading Skill Books but if you already have max skills. You need to disown one to gain another. 
8, perks,  these are you natural born abilities. Unlike skills,  once you decide them,  you are stuck with them. You can have up to 3 perks but one of them must be bad.
9. Enemies might be closer than you think
10. Have fun. 
Classes
Swordman: This class is good at offense. But needs to be light for their speed so they lack defense. Starts with rusty sword and heath potion. Can have up to 5 skills at a time. 
Mage: a great support class, has offensive and defensive spells but lack physical strength and endurance. Starts with Spell Book (make up what kind of mage you are),  wooden staff and a heath potion. Can have up to 10 skills at a time. 
Axeman: has good defense. Doesn't hit as hard as swordsman nor has as many skills as mage but is able to haddle more pain. Comes with leather tunic, rusty hand axe, and a heath potion.  Can have up to 3 skills.
Archer: good at range attacks, but frail. Comes with worn bow,  20 arrows. (Arrow can be retrieved but the thing it is in needs to be dead if you want them back!)  A dagger, and a heath potion. 
Priest: like mage but focuses on more defensive skills. Comes with Holy Book (like Spell Book) wooden staff,  and heath potion. 
Magic Gunman: expert at guns. But defense is weak. Comes with rusty magic gun,  magic bullet,  and  heath potion.  can have up to 5 skills. 
If you want to come up with your own class,  just ask!

back to the Inkwell

AAaah! So sorry! I will post as soon as I get home from school! Or possibly sooner! Sorry again! Top!

Name: Quinn
Age: idk... maybe 19ish?
Gender: F
Appearance: She is a Ranine (see below :) ), a human-like species. She mostly looks like a human, exept that she has six opposable fingers that each have one extra joint, and she has blue eyelashes. You can't really tell from the back. She has hazel eyes and her hair is a natural hombre from dark orange to chestnut to brown to black.
Personality: Quick-witted, quick-thinking, good sense of humor, thoughtful
Species.: Ranine
Class: Swordsman
Perks: (Up to 3) Precise: her fancy fingers allow her to swordfight on a much smaller and more precise scale, No Sense of Smell: self-explanatory
Skills: Resourceful; can find a use for almost anything, Fast; years of living on the run have made her very fast
Bio: If you spliced Ferrin from BEYONDERS by Brandon Mull and Goldilocks from LAND OF STORIES by Chris Colfer, you'd get her. Ranines are known for being untrustworthy, so she was wrongly accused of a crime, sparking a life of actual crime and living on the run. However, she'd still relish the ability to clear her name and live a normal life.
Reason for going to the Tower of Renovamen: Glory and treasure (to clear her name)

Yay! These are so cool! I'm gonna wait for The Writer to start, just to show us the ropes. Also, just to be clear, Quinn is female. I guess she's a swordswoman then? Idk.

gah!. why oh why must the internet not work when I need it the most!

ehem.

ok so ya, the first part is coming very soon. today infact. I just need to touch it up a bit.

anyway, character approved.

I forgot to mention that Stillo has a Black Dragon Tattoo on his left arm,

also let me be more clear on what Stillo's Fortuno does

there are four stages to the blessing, and it's fueled by pain and fear, least effective if it's his own.

1. Normalem. nothing special happens, he's his own normal self. the tattoo is normal

2. Irritatione. He's faster in speed, attack speed (increased melee damage as well) and reloading. He is also quicker to anger and get's very mild mood swings. the tattoo emits a purple glow

3. Rabidus. Even faster, and range weapons do more damage, somehow. he is now a maniac and finds joy of fallen foes. he's either extremely happy or extremely angry. The Tattoo now fumes purple black smoke.

4. Truci Messorem. More speed and damage. He is now insane and bloodthirsty. The purple black smoke now emits from his entire body, his eyes turn red, and his scales turn black. this mode should only be used in extreme measures because this mode can kill Stillo. in a matter of mintues.

 

stay tuned!

Stillo~

“No glory or treasure is worth such agony! The Curse of Renovamen is nothing to mess with. Only those who make it to the top can be free of the curse. And make off with the treasures that lie within!”

I wisssh that old man would ssshut up. I can hear him all the way from the library.

There has to be sssomething that can take me back. I jussst need to find it…

I’ve ssspent hoursss here looking through the library’sss artifact sssection for sssuch a thing.

Jussst when I had enough for the day, a book fallsss from the bookssshelf opened. But I’m alone.

I pick up the book.

“Et Itero…”

The Repeat?

I continue reading aloud.

“Et Itero isss an artifact of magical powers. Of the owner hasss a regret in life, he can go back to fix it. But thisss artifact requiresss to be broken by the ussser to work.”

Thisss is it! I can go back and sssave her!

“The known locationsss are *******, ******, The Tower of Renovamen, ********, ******, *-”

Wait what?

Tower of Renovamen?

Maybe that old man wasss ussseful after all.

Quickly I put back the book and run home. It’sss not much, jussst a sssimple ssshack I built in the edge of town. Opening the door. I pack my thingsss. The onesss that came with me when I came here. North, a gun that ssseems to ssshoot sssome kind of glowing bullet. The glowing clip thingy it comesss with. Brew of the Black Dragon. A jar that containsss a murky red-black liquid. Only thossse with the blesssing can benefit from it. Othersss will die.

I look in the mirror. The Tattoo… how thisss all ssstarted. If I look closssely, I can sssee the ssscar that made it.

I will get you back.

Ssso thisss isss it.

I look at the Tower. It’s top not ssseen for it lookss like it ssscrapes the heavensss.

Thisss isss gonna take longer than I thought…

I approach the entrance, sssuddenly, it’s metal doorsss ssswing open. Ssstepping though. I pray to the holy one to give me the luck to climb this Tower.

*SMAM*

The doorsss clossse behind me with little time to not have my tail cut off.

Looking around, I sssee a sssmall chessst. It contains nothing. There isss also a bed and a hallway lit by torch.

I enter the hallway. I will sssee you again.

Floor 4.

The wallsss here on up were gray bricksss. The enemiesss  are sssimple. Just some sssnakes and ssspiders half my sssize. Nothing fancy really, traps of arrow shooters here and there, but I haven’t met anyone else. I have found a ruby the size of my fissst however. I like it’sss red color.

Sssuddenly the tile sssinks. The wallsss come in very fast. I run as far as I can go.

The wall pinned me against it.

“AAAAAGH!!”

A lever!

I just need to reach i-

*CRACK*

*SNAP*

My ssskull gives way.

Here again.

I woke up on the bed in the firsst room. I ssstill have my North and Brew. but the ruby is gone

The chest ssseems to have sssomething

I open it and in it is the ruby and a jar.

“Crussshed Lizard Ssskull”

Very funny

The door opensss

Can I make another charrie? I got an idea. If so:

Name: Eva

Age: maybe 23ish

Gender: F

Species.: Human

Class: Mage

Perks: (Up to 3) Voice of Gold: not only is her song magical, but it sounds good too, Wise

Skills: Observant: Can see small details that others miss

Bio: Orphaned at birth, she learned that her song could do magic a few years ago; hasn't really done much with it. Over the years, she had one friend, and as they spent more time together, she realized that she liked him for more than a friend. One day, without any warning, he disappeared. She searched the whole world for him, she never found him. She got word that an artifact that would answer any question was at the top of the tower of Renovamen. She didn't need any further convincing; after all, she had nothing to lose.

Reason for going to the Tower of Renovamen: Love & Glory

Please accept her. I'm looking forward to writing her songs.

Hmm, I think so? It's up to The Writer, but we just started, so I don't think it would be too much trouble.

Okay! Oi Wait fer yer command, Writer!

submitted by Chinchilla
(March 25, 2018 - 2:27 pm)

I never said only three others are only allowed. I said when there are three othere's we'll start, you can still join, and anyone else if they want.

also, Shy Peacock, I don't see a bad perk for Eva, what's her weakness? I can't approve the singing mage till you give her a weakness.

Thanks Writer!

Name: Aster Kyros

 

 

Age: 17

 

 

Gender: Male

 

 

Species.: Well, he effectively looks like a very large wolf on hind legs. He has hands that are slightly stubby, still reminiscent of paws. Could that be a species? (You can make up a snappy name for it, I'm outta ideas)

 

 

Class: Swordsman
 
Personality: He's pretty mild and easy-going. Sort of the 'whatever-floats-your-boat' kind of guy. He's pretty friendly, and may seem slightly scatterbrained, but he can focous very well when he's really into a task. He likes to talk a lot.
 
Appearance: As I said, he's effectively a large, well-built wolf on hind legs. He wears a long-sleeved dark green tunic, with a leather vest over it, long leather cuffs on his wrists, and has his sword slung over his left shoulder. He's left-handed by the way. He's a silvery grey, the fur darkening as it approaches his paws/hands/feet.

 

 

Perks: (Up to 3) 1. Well, he's very fast and strong, plus sensitive ears and all the other traits of wolves. 2. He has an affinity with metal of all sorts. (e.g, he can pick a lock in under five minutes, also can sort of speak to metal) 3. 

 

 

Skills: Great swordsman. I'm not really one for gaming-style names, but, uh, here I go. Silver Whirlwind (Very very fast swordplay-NO, he does NOT spin around, which could mean that he could be stabbed in the back mid-spin). That's pretty much it. He's just a great swordsman, savvi?

 

 

Bio: He had normal parents, a small magical warp (His parents were both powerful mages) happened, and boom, little Aster turns wolfy. This happened before he was born, so it was a bit of a shock when he came out. However, his parents coped well, and he grew up a well-loved and mature wolf-man. He then puresued swordplay, and became a.... um.... good swordsman. Very good. He wished to test his skills as a warrior by going into the Tower of Renovamen. His parents had recently died (Of old age-what else?!), and he felt pretty reckless. He has literally no idea what he's in for.

 

 

Reason for going to the Tower of Renovamen: He wishes to test his skill. Not just as a swordsman, but also his wits. The free treasure doesn't hurt either. Unfortuately, he doesn't believe the countless tales of horror, and he has pretty much no idea that once yer in, the only way out is through. He may also have a deeper, ulterior motive, that I haven't thought of yet.

you missed the bad perk. but you listed "slightly scatterbrained" in personality, which I think could also go in the perk section to make up for this.

Character approved.
