"Ah, Mister Soma Cruz has finally decided to join the Table...I recall when i first arrived here, You were one of the first whom had greeted me...Let us hope you prove as interesting as you did then."

And with that, Three cards came from the Dealer's Deck, Sliding into sight of Soma Cruz , Each giving off a Colored Aura, detailing the Arcane Choice they may provide...

"Choose the Ace, To reveal the Body you shall inhabit in this world..."




"The Ace of Heaven. The Boredom of a Mere Child, Granted such immense power ahead of her destiny. Quite a interesting place this world, Is it not?"

(By choosing the Ace of Heaven, Soma will be in control of  Princess Athena! Along with Stats and Movepool, You also gain a Unique Passive: 'Heaven's Guardian'. In which you deal an additional 1d10 Damage to any Demonic, Unholy or Undead enemy! However, Due to your...Choice of clothing and cute face, you have a -2 to any Intimidation checks you attempt to make.)




"The Ace of Heavy. Strong. Dependable. Like a Mountain."

(By choosing the Ace of Heavy, you will be in control of, Well, The Heavy! Along with Stats and Movepool, you will also gain a Simple additional +50% Max HP.)




"The Ace of Witcher. Shunned by Humanity as a whole, You're task is to rid the other beasts of the world...How shall you fare?"

(By Choosing the Ace of Witcher, You take control of Geralt of Rivia! Along with Stats and Movepool, You gain a Unique Passive: "Witcher". When dealing with Events that involve the destruction or fighting of Monsters, your rewards will be Increased! However...All of the world Hates Witchers. And you will struggle incredibly in Events requiring more social presence. This is considered a more difficult Ace.) 


"...I believe i will wait until you choose to pick your Enemy this time."


"Now...How Shall we cut the deck?"


Cut the Deck low??



(The Game will be shortened, And will not feature as much Post-Game Loot to obtain. Means a more immediate reward, however.)




Cut the Deck in the middle??



(Standard Game Length.)




Cut the Deck High??



(Game will be much longer, and have rarer, Even grander loot, But will make the game take longer, and have more, and Wider maps. With more chance to lose everything, However...)

"... I'll go with the Ace of Witcher. And cut it high."


His reasoning for such a request was simple, frankly. First of all, hey, who doesn't like stuff? Second of all... Frankly, he related to the Witcher. He could understand such a plight, even if he personally hadn't lived it, he lived in fear of it becoming such constantly. There was a reason he kept his powers a secret from most, after all. One would be naturally weary of the reincarnation of Dracula. It promised to be a fun game.

"I see...How interesting." The Dealer would say, Looking down to his Deck of cards, and nodding.

"Then, What better to face a Monster Hunter...Than a Monster?"

With that, a Card is flicked out.


"There is a Graveyard in the distance One that Wails and Begs for Silver to cut through it, and end its torment...It Walks.



"The King of Graves, Gravelord Nito, Is your Contract."


"And Now..."




"The Mysterious Forest...Such horrors can be so easily found, merely in the Woods..."


With that, A Mist surrounds Soma's Mind and Body, Enveloping and Whisking his conciousness away...

A Familiar Sight for Any Witcher, A Camp in the woods, The Hour being roughly 9 hours past Sundown...It was dark. The Sleepless stars glistened in the night, as the Witcher, 'Soralt', Or properly, Geralt was on his own, His only companion whom seemingly trusted him in every step of life, his Mare, Roach, Tied to a post nearby. Soma may take note that,close by a Puddle was staring him directly in the face...



Scarred, Hair White, and Eyes, Catlike and Yellow...It was rather unsettling to soma's previous Mindset, that he would look so different to his normal self.

However, Geralt may quickly note, that as he looks upon his new form...There's a Sudden, Massive Swooping sound...


...And Roach, had suddenly vanished, His Tie to the post being all that was left of Him, Along with a massive pool of Blood leading deeper into the Woods. This left Geralt, only with the equipment on his body...

[KashKey]

Soma nodded in understanding as the Dealer described to him what the game's objective would be. It seemed simple enough, hell he was all too used to doing that sort of thing normally. So what would make it anymore interesting to do it in this game, he wondered...?

Calmly, he crossed his leg, in a manner not unlike his past life. Not that he noticed. He was just sitting how felt naturally in the rather large chair. And then... The mist sat in.

"Wh-What?! What is this?!"

He began to panic. What kind of mystical trap had he just willingly walked into?! Just as he was about to stand up, he felt his conciousness fade, and cursed.

"D-Damn..."

---

Suddenly, he found himself in a very different position... Where was this? He took in his surroundings, and names and identities he didn't know he knew suddenly flowed into his mind. ... This... THIS was the game, wasn't it? An entirely different land to explore, without fear of death or challenge. ... Here he could simply relax, and enjoy the adventure. What a novel prospect... This was a pretty relaxing environment, too. He didn't feel immediate death in the area, so he took the time to take in his surroundings. It was a pretty good set up for the night... But what was he here for, exactly? His objective was that Grave Lord, wasn't it?

Perhaps this was to represent travel... It was an RPG! Okay, he could get down for that! Smirking slightly at the thought, Soma took notice of the pond, and looked into it, and tilted his head upon seeing his face. This was his character, huh? He held a hand to his chin, slowly turning his head as he took in his appearance. He could feel blades upon his back, and he saw them behind his head. The scars and seemingly older age... This was a man that had seen a great deal of combat, and surely had a great deal of experience to match.

And that was when he heard the swoop...

"What now?!"

Drawing the Silver Blade, assuming a monster in the area, Geralt took to standing. What the hell was that?! Where did it come- Roach. His eyes darted to the horse, who's name he had only just learned, and cursed again. Gone. Something took her. It left a trail of blood, so there was no way the horse would survive. The only guarantee was a corpse... And a beast that would cause him trouble if he didn't take it out. Nodding this affirmation to himself, Soma took a step forward, then another... And into the forest he trekked. He darted his eyes from left to right, keeping an eye open for any danger... One couldn't be too careful, after all.

[PolarStarQuote]

As Soma followed the blood trail, The Pool of Blood would grow larger and larger as he followed, As the eventual realization of just how deep in the woods he was at this point would dawn on him, as he fires of his camp were blocked by the thickness of the tree's behind him, as he came upon...

Ruins. They were caked well and soggy with Moss at this point, With a willow tree growing strong in the center of it...It looked fairly ancient. But, the Trail of blood would pool into just under the stairs, where Soma would see Roach, Flayed apart and strung against the wall by various daggers, and horns of decease goats. Its Stomach and skin flayed open to reveal its bloodied carcass to all...

...

And it was then, A Shadow loomed over Soma...




The Monster that had done this. It stood a massive nine foot in height, and wielded Machete's, rusted and hooked that were six foot in length, Its Skin equally scarred and ripped apart, as its head was covered in the skull of a monster...This was a Demon.



The Capra Demon Approaches!






It was then, that Two Undead Dogs suddenly lunged for Soma from both sides!

Soma! Two Dex Checks of 11, or take 12% Damage for each one failed!

And Following this, The Capra demon raised one of its Machete's, To slam directly onto Soma's head!

Soma! If you were hit by either of the previous Undead Dog Strike's, This DEX Check is 15. If not, 10. If Failed, Take 19% Damage.
