I would love to join in this RP! I am an avid fan of the borderlands series so this is right up my alley. 

Character:Night Terror,https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/night-terror-r9836

Class: Shadow Stalker

Action Skill: Wraith, dispersing into a cloud of shadows he is able to move freely on any surface and is able to target up to 10 enemies to "Terrify". Enemies that are terrified are frozen in fear and will not move until attacked, at which point they will attempt to run away from their attackers.

Flavor text: "Death Comes"

Dialogue in action skill: "Death walks among you..."

"Run while you can!"

"You can run but you cannot hide from me..."

"I...see...you..."

"I come with the Night!"

Skill trees:

Far left: Revenant-The Reaper Comes.

A tree based upon the advancement of his action skill in terms of improving lethality.

Mid perk-Puppeteer: Melee Override(must have wraith ready to activate) Take possession of an enemy with Wraith, the target gains 10% damage the lower it's HP is (capping at+500%) but if you die while in possession of the target, you will be expelled back into your body with 10% HP left.

 

Ult Perk: Blade Storm:  Action Skill augment:Night Terror enters a state of intense focus, searching for targets to eliminate. Night Terror will leak red smoke and the screen will fade to monochrome. All enemies seen within a 50m radius are tagged by a "Death's Mark" that appears above them, all marked enemies are highlighted in red. Starring at a single target longer can apply up to two additional "Death's marks" on a target, signifying more than one potential attack. Upon reactivation of Night Terror's action skill, he summons two Shadow Clones that Shade Step with him, attacking all Marked targets. Each attack costs one mark. The lower you HP the higher your damage (+10% damage for every 5% lost) and each attack will guarantee a bleed effect. Marking a target and launching your assault will consume 8% hp for every mark (cannot kill yourself or mark more than your current HP), successful kills refund 100% of the cost back.

 

Middle:Shadow-What cannot be seen...

A tree based upon stealth and supuport.

Mid perk-Darkness my old friend: Upon activating Wraith you Absorb light in a 30m radius creating artificial darkness, Enemies within this darkness have decreased accuracy and efficiency while allies gain movement speed.

 

Ult perk:Shadow Play : Upon activation of Shadow Play, Shadow clones of your team and yourself are constantly made, mimicking movement. Shadows disperse after taking any damage. Shadow Clones have a 50% higher chance to draw agro from enemies than your team.

 

Far Right:Terror-FEAR ME!

A tree based upon crowd control via terror.

Mid Perk: Creeping Terrify: The enemies marked by Wraith initially have a "Fear" proc applied to them. Each enemy with a fear proc applied to them immediately begins to flee the battle with a -80% movement speed, all enemies within a 3m radius of a target with "Fear" will also have a "Fear" proc applied to them.

 

Ult Perk: Shadows of the Dead: Night Terror summons shadow clones of his most recently slain enemies marked by "fear", prioritizing the strongest in the group. The copies retain the stats and levels of their original selves but with additional damage, shield, and health based upon the stacks of "Feared"(capping at +150%/100%/100% respectively). Each copy will lose 4% of its HP every second and will continue to fight until death by enemy fire or from health degeneration. 

 

I may, just may have, made up an actual skill tree with actual perks for my character in this RP...if I were to be accepted.

Hi there!

 

Pleased to see that you are interested!

 

That's a pretty well typed info you mustered up. Though looking into his background history do note that immortality bit might be abit of a red flag. I take you do plan to join as apart of our gun toting mercenary gaggle? Do keep in mind as well he setting will be placed into a scifi setting so its important you follow with the setting (But you can of course continue to keep the dark theme of your character- its an interesting skill set you got)

 

Though I'd like to hear the opinions of the other particapants before I accept your submission.

I should note that he is only Immortal when he is in that "dimension". Away from his source of power he is very much mortal, albeit still hard to kill. Since we are doing a Borderlands themed RP, let's just say we are in a different dimension than the one he is tasked to guard, therefor away from his source of power.

@@Night Terror, 

 

You've been accepted. Thank you for applying.

[Night Terror 42]

Now that I've been accepted, I will expand upon Night Terror and give him a special background for this RP.

Night Terror was tasked by Princess Luna herself to find a source for a great calamity she saw in a vision. Although Luna's vision gave them an event, there was no exact when or where, they only knew it would be in the future. So Night Terror went to planet after planet, hunting monsters and bandits alike down. His great 'purge' on these planets left behind a different scene although he never stuck around after his work was done. Eventually he began to grow impatient because he had not found anything that had proved challenging in even the slightest. Knowing Luna would not send him on a fools errand, he began to look for increasingly dangerous and notorious planets. Yet still he found little of a challenge...and then he heard of a place called Pandora while in a bar. The patrons talking spoke about it with awe and fear, speaking of it's numerous and insurmountable dangers and the rewards and glory to be had. Upon hearing this he had a new lead, he began to collect information on the legitimacy of the dangers of Pandora and he was not disappointed in the slightest. With a actual challenge on the horizon, he made his way to the nearest launching station that could take him to Pandora.

Now for his Skill tree! Huzzah! Real fun stuff now

(Work in progress)

OC Page/Description: Well, he is an Alicorn. His name is Aquarius. His cutie mark is something like this:

 

 

(Minus the face and the star) He has changeling wings. His flowing mane has a crescent moon embedded into it. His body color is dark grey. The tail is a dark blue along with his mane, stars are imbedded in the mane as well. He is rather quiet and mostly speaks only when spoken to. He is able to drain love inefficiently and shapeshift as well, though it takes alot of energy since he is mostly Alicorn.

 

His magic is mostly water based. He doesn't use his powers unless he is attacked.

 

Class: Alicorn Rogue. 

Special Ability: A water blast from his horn.

Just letting you know, the setting takes place on the planet Pandora in the Borderlands game universe. Essentially a scifi western of sorts. If you could, perhaps elaborate on your character a bit more. Perhaps tweek your characters abilities and profile to better suit the setting/time.

Well, I would say that he comes from beyond Equestria, and lived in a village of 20 Alicorns hidden away in the mountains. Other than that, not much.   

How did he get to Pandora? One common way was through smuggling.

[genessee 535]

Thats probably the Easiest rout. I'd say so

Okay, check that off the list.

What does he do on Pandora? Bounty Hunter? Criminal? Bringer of Justice? Just a stallion trying to survive (that's what I was)?
