The Monster Business

((Monster Business Characters (second to last post). The RP is loosely based on an original story of mine. The protagonists of said story are Sven and Juni. The RP is broken down into episodes. The list is below and will be updated as the RP progresses. I myself RP in a bit of a warped style for this. One that you DO NOT have to imitate. I don't expect you to. Each of the NPC's (save for a couple of lesser ones) have their own story arc which generally occupies about five episodes at minimum, ten max. You don't have to do this for your characters if you do not want to. You can create and submit your own ideas for episodes and I'll work with you on weaving it in and when it will be used as in what Episode Number it'll start with and end with.))

Things to Consider
Is the character a part of the Alpha Division (Top Tier) or the Gamma Division (Bottom Tier)? ((If your character does not fight, they are automatically dropped off in one of the "Useless" divisions where you essentially do all of nothing until the fight scene is over))
Should my character have an ability?/Is my character's ability too powerful?
What possible arcs can I develop for my character?
((Note: The Division is subject to change later in the RP))

The Imperial Academy; one of the most prestigious military schools on the planet. Students received only the best education possible, conditioning them to successful careers. As much as it was an honor to graduate from this school, the greater honor was to be accepted. Acceptance is no small feat. The school prides itself on its ability to pick out the top of the crop, so to speak. The get in, a student has to have a special something. Something that makes them stand out. Something exemplary about their character one looks up to. Something that people notice from the second they lay eyes on you. It was this exact something that Sven Vargas didn't have. So why would this most picky of schools allow him admission? It was anyone's mystery. Perhaps there was simply a system hiccup. Or perhaps someone just happens to admire Sven that much.

Sven wasn't tall. He was actually rather short. He wasn't a genius by any stretch of the imagination. His I.Q was slightly above average at best. His combative prowess, looks, physique, even his people skills were all just average. But it was on this day that the most plain student in the school would be graduating beside hoards of the most intelligent, most well equipped students alive. Indeed this was a proud day for him as he stood there atop the outdoor platform and accepted his diploma. He could see his mother sitting there, clapping with a cheek-to-cheek smile spread across her face.

That evening at dinner, the table was quiet as they sat opposite one another. When the silence finally broke, courtesy of Sven's mother, Sven looks up rather awkwardly.

Harriett: Sweetie, you haven't said a word since we got home.

Sven: O-oh? Sorry. I must have been thinking over everything.

Harriett: You're nervous about being officially assigned next week as 'Lieutenant Sven Vargas' of the Imperial Assault Force.

Sven says nothing in response. Admittedly, he did like the sound of Lieutenant Sven Vargas but the Imperial Assault Force was a different story. Only the most elite students from the Academy, the Academy that is entirely composed of elitists, were assigned to the Force. What had he done that was special enough to have him assigned to it? Was he really worth it?

Sven: Just...thinking all I've done to get me this far. Really looking forward to the Force.

That next week, Sven stands at the door to his father's office. Commander Nikolai Vargas of the Imperial Assault Force. There was no way a simply blood connection to the Commander would be enough to ensure Sven's spot on this most elite of teams. Something else was going on. Nonetheless, Sven knocks lightly on the door and he is called in.

Commander: Ah, Lieutenant. No doubt you're here for your official assignment.

This was Sven's chance. Now, more than ever, he would have to show is dedication to what he was doing. Whether or not he felt he was sufficient for the job, it was his presence that mattered.

Sven: (stands at attention and salutes) Yes Sir! Lieutenant Sven Vargas, reporting for duty!

Commander: Good. Good! Now straighten that back and display the confidence I know you have. Anyway, Lieutenant, there's something that you ought to know.

Sven: Oh? What's that, sir?

Commander: You aren't assigned to the Imperial Assault Force.

Sven: Oh, is that right? Wait, WHAT?!

Commander: Lietenant Vargas, as of now you are assigned to the Chroma Falls Assault Force.

Sven stares at his father in disbelief as he continues. He...he was serious about this! Sven had been told up front on the day of his graduation that his assignment was to the Imperial Assault Force. He'd never even heard of the Chroma Falls Assault Force.

Sven: Chroma Falls?! Now, wait just a minute!

Commander: It's one of our lesser branches. One of their members recently left and they needed another. They requested we send our best warrior. So I recommended you personally.

Sven: B-but, isn't Chroma Falls-

Commander: Yes, it's a larger city. To be honest, I think you'll fit in fine there. You'll make us proud!

Sven: I...do not believe this...

Sure enough, Sven finds himself at the harbor that next morning, standing with his mother and father as the ferry sounds its whistle. He was about to embark on quite the adventure. He'd never been away from Undella Bay. He was a man now and was ready to face whatever challenge he was presented. As his mother hands him a small music box, his father nods in approval.

Commander: Make us proud, Lieutenant. Show them the Spirit of a Knight.

Sven: (Nods) Yes sir. I will. (Then turns and walks off, climbing the stairs onto the ferry shortly before its departure)

The trip had lasted for four or so days. It was quite the bustle aboard the steam driven boat. Chroma Falls was a major spot for tourism. It was seen as a sort of melting pot of the world. Everyone was so different and came from all over to start lives here. It wasn't like the many smaller cities and towns in most of the western regions. Everything was bigger and more vibrant. It was livelier and, at times, chaotic. But that wasn't the only thing to be said about Chroma Falls. There were darker secrets and tensions all hidden away deep down in the roots of this city whose buildings reach for the heavens.

The ferry was just arriving and many of its passengers were out on the deck, taking pictures as they neared the harbor. There was a building there under construction. It was setting up to be the tallest man-made structure in the world, Haven Tower. Everyone could sees its gaze cast over the city from the boat. Many sat there on the deck and stared in awe as some took snapshots using these basic image capture devices. The new technologies were turning up by the bundle these days. Sven was one of the man to stand on the deck, admiring this amazing sight as the ferry drew nearer to the docks.

Sven: (Nods to himself) I'll show them all the Spirit of a Knight.

Ugh, why was she even here?!? There was so much time to be, oh, maybe SHOPPING?!? Chroma Falls was a great place to be for that kind of stuff, don'cha know? She did not want to be waiting at the docks for some loser, but the Chroma Commander asked her personally to look for him... sure, why not? It'll be fun, he said. You'll meet lots of cute guys, he said. Horse poo, she says. Soria sits down with a scowl on her face, first taking her shield off her back. "C'mon, come on, come on... there's a really good sale going on, I really want to get there." Putting her hands in her face, she began to count the ways she was missing out. Clearly, she was bored to the point of frustration.

{ATTN: ALL}

Tatsuhiko wakes up from sleeping and gets dressed he heads out to the training grounds to practice for a bit. after a while he started to get hungry so he starts eatting some of the mochi he had stored for lunch. when he got done eatting he went back training it was not that hot out side that day so he decided to train for a few hours.
