Tower of the Council Set Up (Sword Art Online RP)

This information will be needed to help with developing your character.

One Handed Sword- A sword used either with a shield, sword, or a dagger. Some players oddly use this type of sword by itself.

Dagger- Used for quick strikes that don't do much damage but are used for attacking rapidly, allowing the user more flexibility and more precise attacks. Almost always paired with a dagger and sometimes a sword.

Broadsword- A straight sword with a bigger blade width then a normal one handed sword. Normally paired with a shield. Longer then a one handed sword.

Two Handed Sword- A standard two handed sword. Is most commonly used by itself. A few people have a strange tendency to dual wield the two of the swords, a two handed axe, or even a two handed mace!

Zweihänderr- A large two handed sword that is used to protect allies. This sword is a lot bigger then a normal two handed sword. This weapon is a preferred weapon to players who don't like using a sword and shield. This sword is too large to dual wield them. It weighs from 2 - 3.2 kg and its length is roughly 180 cm.

Rapier- A one handed sword that has a thin blade and a protective hilt for the hand. This sword is used for thrusting attacks.

Two Handed Spear- A standard two handed spear used for medium ranged fighting. Also used for thrust attacks.

One Handed Mace- A blunt weapon for those who enjoy smashing people. Most maces are usually squared.

Two Handed Mace- A two handed blunt weapon which is heavier then a sword but smashes things easier. People oddly dual wield this type of weapon with another mace but can be dual wielded with a two handed axe or two handed sword.

Two Handed Axe- A two handed axe with a curved blade not as heavy as a mace but heavier then a sword. Oddly enough people dual wield it with a sword more then another axe.

Scythe- A weapon that is difficult to master but those that do are greatly rewarded. Most Scythes consist of a pole with a curved blade at the top. Great for mid ranged combat.

Katana- A traditional sword that has a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard. Most commonly held with two hands although some can be designed for one hand.

Fist Weapon- These type of weapons are used mainly for melee range fighting. These weapons come in a variety with blades attached to gloves, bands or even attached to the wrist.

Pet- Pets are classified as a type of weapon and are most often seen with trainers. Trainers don't often carry anything but a knife or a crossbow/bow as a weapon because of their unique bond with their pets which make them a great team. Trainers can increase certain aspects of their pet.

Don't be afraid to ask if you can use a weapon that's not on the list. 95% of the time I'll say yes. Any form of gun is probably something I won't say yes to >.< -Zenfen

Hi there~ 99.9% of the time I'll say yes to weapons that aren't on the list. If you want your character to have a gun as a weapon, be prepared for a big NO! xD -Besu

Light Metal Armor- Armor that offers quite a bit of defensive properties but offers little mobility.

♦ - Green Cursor:
Players that have not directly committed an infraction receive a green cursor. Most players in Tower of the Council have green cursors. NPCs in TOC also have green cursors and also have an NPC tag under the HP bar.
Dangerous characters can still have green cursors by getting around the system. Monster PKing (player killing) or Sleep PKing will not turn a player's cursor from green to orange. Attacking an enemy in a safe zone deals no damage and will not change cursor color.
Attacking a player with an orange or red cursor will not change the player's color cursor.

♦ - Orange Cursor:
In Tower of the Council, players that have committed an infraction receive an orange cursor. An infraction is initiated typically by the first act of attacking a green player outside the safe zone, as the Area effect in towns negates both the possibility of injuring other players and the possibility of stealing items, thus thieves usually earn their orange cursor via attacking players to harass them for items, rather than stealing items.
Players who have orange cursors are usually referred to as orange players, a term that has become a synonym for "criminal", by other players. The Army is known for attacking orange players without question, stripping them of their equipment and imprisoning them withing the dungeons of the Black Iron Palace. Guilds created by orange players are referred to as orange guilds, though in some cases, several members keep their cursor green to be able to infiltrate other parties and lead them to ambush points.
An orange color cursor will gradually restore itself to a green color cursor within several hours for the first three infractions committed. For the fourth infraction, the orange color cannot be removed unless the player performs a quest. After the fifth infraction, a player's color cursor will remain permanently orange.

♦ - Red Cursor:
All active monsters have a red cursor of various shades. The shade of red can be used as a reference to the monster's power when compared to the player's level. Those of regular red are considered equal to the level of the player opposing them. The cursor of those who have killed other players will gain the red cursor to represent that fact that they, too, are the equivalent of dangerous monsters and should be regarded as such.

♦ - Yellow Cursor:
Inactive monsters, certain NPCs and pets have a yellow cursor.

♦ - Pink Cursor:
Monsters that are considerably weaker than the player and reward little to no experience points have light pink, close to white, cursors.

♦ - Purple Cursor:
Active monsters that are of a higher level than the level range of a player receive purple cursors.

Lobopard: Lobo - Another name for the Timber Wolf, but in this case meaning 'of dog-like qualities,' and Pard - Derived from the term 'Leopard.'
Appearance: Lithe creatures about the size of the average fox, bearing rather sticky, dripping tails like that of a thick, soppy liquid similar to a solid. The solidity of their long ears is very similar to the tail and even the rest of its coat, although upon a firm body, is somewhat of a hardened fluid. Their eyes are large and almond-shaped, colored a deep crimson like bloodied rubies, and their majority of their bodies are a pale, pink-tinted white hue. A few large, rectangular spots of faded orchid to dark lavender dapple the hide upon the upper back, tail, and sometimes the hindquarters. A translucent purple haze clings to the Lobopard's neck like an airy mane of toxic vapor which corrodes anything the creature deems threatening. Their gums and the flesh in their maws are a dark indigo color with bright scarlet tongues, two rows of tiny, sharp teeth of ivory, and blessed with a toxic lining to their fangs and saliva. Everlit specifically bears a small, black beauty mark on the lower corner of her right eye and sports a slight scowl.
Abilities: Lobopards are less than helpful in healing others, in fact being incapable of supporting any healing properties and are rather oriented towards inflicting status conditions on opponents. The vapors emitted from the breath of a threatened Lobopard, along with the plum-colored droplets that secrete from its somewhat gooey hide, are used to poison enemies and use their scent of decay to to steer off others.
Other: It is unknown what a Lobopard's favorite food is, or how such a feral monster could be swayed enough to allow a player to tame it. In Everlit's case, being the only Lobopard currently to be tamed, Shima has claimed she gave the toxic creature a bit of Scavenger Toad Meat before it became engrossed by her.

Whiskerwyrm: Whisker - A term for being 'furry' or 'haired' and wyrm - Based off the various dragons whom it resembles.
Appearance: Bristled Whiskerwyrms are small bat-like dragons with enormous ears suited for precise hearing. The have bristled manes of ivory white fur sprouting around their necks and upper back. Whiskerwyrms have two black wings lined with a dusky purple and have grasping claws of crimson like bloody thorns. A teal membrane fans between their ribcages and wings, and when their mouths open, two pointed teeth can be seen on their lower jaws. Whiskerwyrms are extremely combative toward anything that wanders too close to it despite their small size and it flits through the sky, close to the ground as its wings are all that strong, in even the darkest nights using ultrasonic waves it emits from its ears.
Abilities: Although capable of using healing-based abilities, Bristled Whiskerwyrms are more oriented towards the Scanning ability, using their extreme sense of hearing and scent. Whiskerwyrms are naturally aggressive despite being scouring dragons who scavenge, and they tend to use their sharp, hooked claws for scrapping and fighting off enemies, often puffing up their breasts and bristling their manes to appear larger and more intimidating.
Other: Whiskerwyrms are similar to Feathery Dragons in that they prefer peanuts over most foods, and it was a peanut seasoned with a blend of spices meant to resemble the flavor of sriracha which got Sarabi's attention glued onto Petra.

Whiskit: Whisk - A term referring to 'wind,' and Kit - Referring to a young Fox or 'kit.'
Appearance: They are average sized beasts based off the appearance of a Kamaitachi. Whiskits' pelts are light, dusty brown with darker colored paws and an odd Yin-Yang symbol etched onto both sides of their hindquarters. They have grey scruffs of various lengths where thick rope of orange and white with paper seals lacing it as it sticks out from the soft mane. A mask of bone, shaped like a fox's face and colored white and orange covers their tawny faces, and pale minty, ragged whiskers protrude from their cheeks behind the mask. Short, sharp claws slide out from their paws, and a large, curled blade of dark blue sticks out from a dark brown tuft on its rear. Their blade-like tails have an orange eye on each side with his narrowed and graced with keen sight. Because of their size close to that of a stocky dog, they are good for riding when needed.
Abilities: Whiskits are more accustomed to actual fighting rather than healing, though they are fairly decent as Scanning as well. As they prefer close combat, the blade acting as their tail have a will, making it possible for them to cope even with attacks that surprise them from behind. However, Whiskits aren't suited for mutual communication, and they're weaknesses have been seen as quarreling with their tails in the middle of battle, through which opponents often try to exploit. Only very well trained Whiskits are believed to be tamed with enough sense not to bicker with their tails.
Other: Although Whiskit are fiery-nature and rash, they are generally quick to being friendly and easily attach themselves to those who feed them. They generally don't have any sort of favorite food and often chooses to eat whatever is given to them if offered. Sunshine's Rivaille is particular was won over by a whole loaf of bread, butterless, from a shop in Tolbana.

Tanusa: Tanu - Originally Tanuki, Japanese for 'raccoon dog,' and Usa - Referring to the Japanese term for 'bunny.'
Appearance: Tanusa are small, fuzzy creature about the size of young, fat puppies layered in a long pelt of silky,fawn-colored fur. They are endowed by large, furry ears edged in pale white tufts, and a thick tail with a few lavender rings and tipped in white. A single large claw of dull grey like metal on the center of each of their stout paws, and their large eyes are like that of blue ice. A single small triangle of crimson marks the top eyelid of each eye and are the most prominent feature that stands out in their appearance.
Abilities: Tanusas' are healers and do their jobs quite well as they tend to stick close to their tamer's and avoid battle overall. Their tracking skills are all right, but not anything to write home about, and they use their adorable appearance and speed to generally avoid confrontation.
Other: Tanusa are very shy creatures, similar to Ragout Rabbits, and generally hide away from others. However, when they do open up to others, they're quite cheery and outgoing creatures who adore the taste of cream and anything lightly sweetened and salted. It was cream which Vixi ate to attract to Sunshine, eat some much as to leave nothing but plain bread for the Whiskit the girl befriended at the same time.

The Quetzune Tiat

Often nicknamed a "Pipe Fox" for its shape shifting ability, the Quetzune is, in fact, a cross between a fox and a winged snake, often having the appearance of a winged Chinese dragon. It also has a deadly bite in its snake form.
Gumi's IRL connection with snakes seems to have drawn this strange creature to her, though dominating it was an entirely different and more difficult challenge.

Tiat tends to stay in her winged snake form and often curls around Gumi's neck and shoulders. In this form, she has iridescent rainbow scales, piercing gold eyes, and large (in proportion to body size) teal feathered wings.
