Jazuhanzu

OC

Race / Undine

Enchanter / Summoner

Artificer

Jazuhanzu is a complete newbie to Elder Tales Online. Seems they were drawn into the game the very same day that the catastrophe struck. While they are perhaps not used to how immersive virtual gaming, they don't seem a stranger to the mechanics of MMOs or RPGs in particular generally. Their Japanese is decent, but imperfect, and their American accent bleeds through when in communication with other players, when they bother to speak at all. Long periods of quiet seem to be a groove they naturally fall into, along with wandering to explore nooks and crannies even when it's ill-advised. Especially when it's ill-advised. They are, at least, the kind of player who seems to jump in to help others at the drop of a hat when it seems they're in need.

"If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. Damn it, Benji." - Jazuhanzu

Apocalypse I-a - Apocalypse Now 2020 July 12th
10...       9...         8...

The old year is coming to an end. Some players are gathered in the various Kingdom squares. There are no guilds here. Only people celebrating the coming of a new year. Comraderie.

7...        6...         5...

The excitement rises with each number subtracted. People hold eachother by the shoulders, smiling up at the enormous letters displayed in the skies by the administration. Other people are at various New Year events. A group of Grunty Races try to make it over the finish line in time to win their prize!

4...        3...         2...

The visual display grows dim for a moment. A little flicker. And then... a sound.

A single tone.

Duty Session 245: Karluin Reclamation - Town 2021 March 25th
Even with the defeat of the fifth floor boss, Karluin is still a monster-infested ruin filled with precarious traps, ancient dangers and just plain old fashioned half-collapsed architecture. Though dilapidated, the goblin settlement in the area is deeply rooted and will need a good deal of effort from intrepid Adventurers to clear out... But it'll all be worth it. Once reclaimed, the fortress of Karluin will be a second or third home for Adventurers making their way up the tower. It's not like they have much choice; the way up is right smack dab in the middle of the old fort, and leaving it to rot will just make getting to the sixth floor that much more difficult.

The long task begins with exterminating monsters still lurking in the castle-town surrounding Karluin's mysterious central keep. Only then can the walls be secured and progress can begin on securing the fortress' heart.

They had always been a threat, but it seems as if they have started to change their tactics as a result of Adventurer activity in the area. They no longer strike only at night, meaning that the forests are now a dangerous place, even during the daylight hours.

Difficulty:    Moderate

Carry On My Wayward Song 2021 December 19th
Ever since discovering that Gwen's strange mood would medically inspect as Resonating with a Song, Uta has been obsessed with finding out more.

A bunch of discoveries later, the time has come for Uta to share her findings with a circle of trusted people. She has been reaching out to friends trained in Song (and/or have researched Strange Moods from a medical standpoint) and are willing to join her open research to crack this mystery.

OOC: contact me to see if Uta would invite you just in case, but if you've interacted with Uta in the past and you're trained in the Song concept (doesn't matter if through class, profession, or Relic), you almost certainly qualify automatically. Prophylaxis is also welcome because of his medical interest in the subject. While the scene is -ICly- restricted, I'm trying to keep it OOCly inclusive of everyone, newbies as well. Contact me (@mail/page/etc.) and we'll try to work out a reason for you to be there!

Now, the Guild seeks Adventurers willing to delve into unknown Gnomish ruins to reduce the threat of these 'Terraformers'.
