[Chromatic Swordsman] [Melody]

[Colour, Hope, Love]
[break][break]
It seemed like one bad thing after another, one more shroud of darkness to cover up the daylight peeking through. Everything had just went poorly; no one to turn to, no one to support her, the deadlines were mounting and hope was a fleeting memory. At the end of it all when the grey became too much to bear, impulse struck her and lead her out of the house. She walked for as long as she could, breath misting in the pale winter night, she was lost in more ways than one but it was never about the destination.[break][break]

She found herself on a hill before she really realised what she was doing. The city stretched out before her, empty and quiet seemingly. The ground was cold and wet but that felt like comfort these days as she lay down and stared up at the sky, clear and sparkling but to her heart it felt all so empty. Everything collapsed on her there and tears sprang unbidden to her eyes, what could she do? With no hope, with no spark, how could she keep going, how could she live? [break][break]

The universe answered her by giving her what she had lost. Across the sky it came, a shining light, a shooting star streaking across the black. Perhaps it was her tears, perhaps it truly was real but that star was trailed by a blanket of shimmering, dancing lights of colours all across the spectrum. Those lights reached down and touched something within her soul, granting her the hope that she had lost so long ago now. She cried that night but only that she had came so close to falling. [break][break]

These days, no matter how dark it gets, she always has a memory of a shining star to follow.

STAT BONUS

+2 PWR, +1 DEF, +1 MAGI, -2 SPD, -1 VIT[break][break]

PASSIVE: Bleeding Heart

You naturally recover +5% of your VIT every post. If your Shield of Love ever breaks, you will automatically gain one post of [Invincibility]. During this post no ability, attack, or effect may cause harm to your body or mind. You cannot be targeted or damaged by attacks, illusions, status effects, or debuffs. If you were under any of these conditions when the shield broke, you do not cleanse them, but pause them entirely for one post. You can move, attack, and use abilities or effects as normal, and can be targeting for healing or buffing by your allies.

The Squire of Hearts is a class that places themself in the way of danger to ensure the safety of their loved ones. The Squire of Hearts at its core is a brave class, and with their magic they can summon two pieces of equipment that are vital to their survival. Their Sword of Passion and Shield of Love together allow the Squire to protect the ones they love and slay those that might seek to do them harm. [break][break]

Sword of Passion: You can conjure a rose red sword adorned with heart-shaped emblems. This sword can be wielded normally or released to hover around you, allowing you to manipulate it with your mind. Your sword can only travel two meters away from you, and moves and attacks at your [SPD] -1 rank when not manually wielded. Once per post the sword can be used to deal your [MAGI] rank in slashing damage to one target within melee range. [break][break]

Five times per thread you may deal additional holy damage equal to your [MAGI] -1 rank after this attack, which lingers for an additional two posts. During this time, if your [MAGI] is higher than the damaged target's [WIL], they must target you with any attacks. The sword has durability equal to your [DEF] rank, and if shattered requires a four post cooldown before it can rematerialize. [break][break]

Shield of Love: You can summon a buckler shield featuring a red heart at its center than you are able to wield normally, or release to let it float freely around you. Much like your sword, it cannot move more than two meters away from you, and travels at your [SPD] -1 rank. Once per post this shield can block one attack, absorbing up to your [DEF] +1 rank in damage before shattering. If broken it requires a four post cooldown before it can reappear. [break][break]

Whenever you use this shield to block an attack without shattering, you or one ally within 10 meters is healed for 20% of the damage of the blocked attack. Five times per thread you may greatly increase the size of your Shield of Love, allowing you to shield yourself and two allies within melee range for one post.

Throes of Passion:

For three posts you will become overwhelmed with your passion to slay the enemies before you, eyes glowing red and veins bulging as a red aura surrounds you. This will cause your [MAGI] and [SPD] to increase by +30% for the duration, and reduce incoming melee damage by -1 rank. You will be too enraged to flee or retreat, and any movement must end with you within attack range of an enemy. You can still move to assist allies and use your abilities as normal. This ability has a four post cooldown after the effect ends. [break][break]

Field of Peace:

You cause roses to manifest at your feet, spreading out from you to a distance equal to your [MAGI] / 3 in meters. Anything within this area with [WIL] lower than your [MAGI] will be filled with warmth, washing away any hostile intentions and leaving them unable to attack or use any harmful abilities or effects. Any healing or other [VIT] recovery within this area has its potency increased by +1 rank. This ability lasts two posts, with a four post cooldown after the roses fade away. [break]
Upgrades at S rank [MAGI] or [DEF] [break][break]

Sacrificial Love:

A protective red light surrounds up to three target allies when this ability is used, granting them a temporary shield that absorbs damage up to your [DEF] rank. Each aura will fully refresh itself at the end of the target's post, and lasts for three posts. Whenever damage is absorbed by this barrier, 25% of the damage absorbed will be dealt to you, and 25% will be dealt to the attacker that caused this damage. This ability has a three post cooldown after all shields have faded.

Passive: Bearer of the Torch

Your allies each gain a [DEF] buff equal to 10% of your [DEF], and you gain a +5% buff to your [VIT] for every party member. This connection is symbolized by a small golden flame that floats above your chests. [break][break]

Once per thread you are able to create a pseudo Safe Zone at will, which appears as a large tower of translucent golden flame, bringing hope and promising safety to all that see it. Within this Safe Zone attack is impossible, and monsters are unable to enter or spawn inside this area. This Safe Zone extends a distance from you equal to your [MAGI] / 2 in meters in every direction. A barrier forms at the edge of this area with durability equal to your [DEF]. If this barrier is shattered from outside, yourself and all allies within gain a buff of +10% to all core stats for two posts. After shattering you cannot recreate the Safe Zone until you refrain from all activity for three posts, during which any sub-class abilities and effects do not function. Unless shattered this Safe Zone remains active until you end the effect, although you then cannot reactivate it during that thread. [break][break]

Once per post you may designate a target party member as your [Beacon Knight]. This character will have their abilities and attacks infused with your golden flame, boosting any attack or defense by +20%. This status effect remains until you designate a new target, and cannot be cleansed or removed while you are active. [break]
Upgrades at A rank [WIL]

Last Beacon's Light:

Yourself or one of your party members will become wreathed in golden flame, flowing around your body and extending behind you as wings of light. Your chosen target will be able to fly to a height of your [MAGI] / 2 in meters, traveling at your [SPD]. They will also gain the status [Beacon Knight] along with the benefits of this from your passive. If your target already had this status, they gain [Guardian of the Hearth] instead, adding a healing effect that recovers their [VIT] by 20% of your [VIT] per post. If your Guardian of the Hearth is defeated or killed, they do not fall, and cannot fall below F rank [VIT] until this effect ends. This ability lasts three posts, with a seven post cooldown after the effect ends. [break][break]

Beacon's Charge:

For the next three posts all party members, including yourself, will be coated in holy golden flames that boost [DEF] by +20%. When anyone under this effect deals melee damage to a target, that target will also take your [MAGI] -1 rank in holy damage. Whenever anyone with this status effect is dealt melee damage, their attacker will also take your [MAGI] -1 rank of holy damage. [break]
Upgrades at A+ rank [MAGI]

Adrenaline Syringe

A syringe filled with neon red liquid. Three times a thread, jab this into yourself of another. For the next two posts, you'll have an increase to [SPD] and [PWR] of 20%. Once this buff ends, you will take a -10% towards both stats for the following three posts. [break][break]

ANTHEM Badge

This seems to be some sort of futuristic patch or sticker in the shape of the Guild symbol that is easily applied to any article of clothing, holding securely unless its owner removes it to reposition the emblem. Wearing this gives you a permanent +20% buff to SPD and MAGI, along with resistance to Piercing, Slashing, Bludgeoning, and Bleeding damage equal to your SPD + MAGI. For those with a flair for the dramatic, touching the badge and/or shouting a catchphrase can manifest several pieces of armor, up to a full suit, that resembles the one worn by ANTHEM's Guild leader. [break][break]

Belt of Noble Visage

This blessed belt gives the wearer the ability to disguise oneself as that of a noble figure. Once active, the wearer of this belt demands the respect of those around them. Up to three creatures can be instilled with the [FEAR] status condition for a duration of 2 Rounds. [break][break]

Escape Rope

Escape from a dungeon/event/invasion with minimal to no loss. Only one can be owned at a time. [break][break]

Knees and Toes Shampoo

A shampoo that is a parody of a well known brand. Rub some in your hair to activate the follicles making it luscious. Your hair will grow rapidly till it can reach your knees and toes. When activated, you can choose to have it protect you from one attack equal to +1 your [DEF]. An attack will get rid of the shampoo and cause your hair to fall out, before growing back to the length it was before use. The bottle only has enough to grow four heads a thread and does not stack with itself when used. [break][break]

Knuckled Gloves

A set of gloves that has studs on the knuckles. This item can be used to deal your PWR -1 rank in damage each post capping at B Rank. [break][break]

Lava Moat Scroll

A simple scroll that can be used once a thread. Upon using it, you'll cause a moat of lava to form around you, leaving a space of roughly 5 meters inside the moat. Once placed, it cannot be removed until it cools and hardens in three posts. Those that try to physically cross the moat will take B-rank damage directly to their [VIT]. [break][break]

Lost Treasure Map (A)

A single part of a treasure map. This treasure is said to be worth quite a large fortune. You need all three pieces (A + B + C) to find the treasure. [break][break]

Lost Treasure Map (C)

A single part of a treasure map. This treasure is said to be worth quite a large fortune. You need all three pieces (A + B + C) to find the treasure. [break][break]

Pendant of the Red Flower

[Enchanted] [Forged] A simple-looking pendant that seems to have a large red ruby. Inside the ruby is an etch of a large flower. While worn, the pendant naturally boosts the owner's [VIT] by 20%. The pendant five times per thread can cause any damage that you cause to plant a ruby red seed on the target. If the target's [DEF] is lower than your [MAGI] the seed will sap 10% of that creature's [VIT] every post for the next five posts. As it saps, it will cause the seed to sprout and grow ruby-red roots across the body of the person afflicted. Once the final 5 posts are reached, it will shatter healing all party members 20% [VIT]. Only one seed can be on a target at a time. [break][break]

Rainbow Heart Puffer Jacket

The jacket is made of bright and playful colors shaped as hearts. This pattern and color palette change to your heart’s desire. The jacket naturally protects you from your [DEF] +1 rank in damage; +2 against ice, cold, or snow abilities. Upon reaching this threshold, your [VIT] will be boosted by 10% for the following 3 posts as the armor aspect repairs itself. Once those three posts end, the [VIT] boost will wane and the armor will resume. Negative status effects will be cleansed once every three posts. Cleanse will be granted to party members within 5 meters. This item has been created via the Forge mechanic. [break][break]

Rose Color Glasses

Upon equipping the glasses, you'll gain the ability to see the world in a new light. Boost your [WIL] by +10%. [break][break]

Tough Texan Tuckle

A faded brown belt that's said to make the wear tough enough to tussle with the best of 'em. The buckle on the front reads "BAMF". 3 times per thread, you regenerate 15% of your [VIT] as well as raising your [DEF] by +1 rank for 2 posts. [break][break]

Action Hero Comic! #1

This limited edition first printing of Action Hero Comic! is a collector’s dream! Inside, you will find the first printing and appearance of the most popular superheroes to date. [break][break]

Leaves of the Hesperides

[Forged] An ornate hairpin shaped like a golden leaf, sparkling in the sun, with its surface rippling and churning. Those who get close would feel the power humming through its surface. Just having this in your possession buffs your [WIL] and [MAGI] by 25%.[break][break]

While not using any abilities, skills, or items, the wearer of this hairpin is obscured by golden leaves constantly falling around them, obscuring them from view if they so wish. They are considered [hidden], and leave no trace, nor can they be seen nor detected by those whose [WIL] is the same or less than the user's own [WIL]. Once the wearer uses any of their abilities, skills, or items, this effect becomes inactive until they refrain from utilizing any ability, skill or other items for one post.[break][break]

The leaves falling around them can be very deadly. With a wave of the wearer’s hand, they can have the golden leaves swirl around them in a 10m radius, hitting everything for two posts. Those caught in this area are damage for MAGI -1 of the user, and will feel their skin and clothes being torn by the razor-sharp golden leaves. The user may end this effect early if they so wish. This has a four post cooldown and immediately ends the obscuring effect of the item. [break][break]

The golden leaves that slowly fall around the user also act as a defensive shield. It can take the user's [DEF] +1 rank in damage before needing a three post cooldown to restore its defensive capabilities.[break][break]

Battle Nurse

If you use your shield to heal another, increase that healing by +10% more than normal. [break][break]

Light's Beacon

Three times per thread, for three posts, you may summon a pulsing beacon of light from you. Party members within 10m of you are healed for 10% of their VIT during the first post, and then 5% for the subsequent two posts. While Light's Beacon is active, you are unable to move. [break][break]

Passion Bursting

You are enveloped in passion to kill your enemy. Once per thread, you may dash toward an enemy target at your SPD +1. Terrain that causes movement restriction is ignored while dashing. [break][break]

Steady Hand

If you are not moving, the [SPD] at which your Sword of Passion and Shield of Love is increased by +1 rank than what is normally is! [break][break]

Telekinetic proficiency

The range for your Sword of Passion and Shield of Love core is increased by 2 meters. [break][break]
