User blog:Pumpkin Pro/RPG - Twin Factions: Apprentices

Twin Factions is a forum RPG made by Pumpkin Pro. This is a record on the abilities of the Apprentices you have hired, and a record for their progress.

What Are Apprentices: Apprentices are NPCs whom you can hire to fight for you. They can also do side missions for you, and upgrade their gear on their own and get stronger, eventually becoming powerful.

How to Get One:

1. You can find people around Axis, day or night. These people are also tired of Arvo's rule, and they want to help overthrow him, but they will need some guidance, and some money to get their first basic gear. Hiring an Apprentice costs 250-500 Coin, depending on their starting stats.

2. Sometimes, there will be unknown stranger characters that are threathened, where in a player character will have to save them. If they succeed, the Apprentice will join them in fighting throughout the mission, but will leave after unless you hire them. The price will be greatly reduced, or even become free as you saved their skin from danger.

3. You can also enslave your enemies occasionally, making them fight under your iron fist. Doing this, will make your character be considered as no better than Arvo, and this will have bad effects on your character's reputation with vendors, NPCs, citizens and Faction Members.

Controlling Them: Apprentices can be given tasks. They can aid you in battle, complete side quests for you, search for treasure for you and even hire more apprentices to work under your control.

Notes: Once an apprentice dies, they are dead for good. No coming back, unless they have an item that lets them ressurect so take care of them! Each character can have a maximum of 8 apprentices at a time, but some skills for certain characters may help increase that limit.

Known/Hired Apprentices

1. Cassius Ivy

Peasant Zombie

Nationality: Roman

Guild: None

Affiliation: The Roman Army.

''Lore: Cassius Ivy from the empire of Rome is a rookie fighter, with his briliant contraption. Two leather boots with a minuture, powerful crossbow in each. These footwear are his primary weapon, that allows him to fight both meelee, and ranged. Not only that, he was also taught how to maximize his footwear, and his kicking abilities. He was treated like an outcast in Rome, for being a murderer's son. His father was of the name Darius Ivy. One of the most famous criminal masterminds in the whole continent, whom had died by the hand of a Slasher. Cassius is a strong spirited person with good talent.''

More Lore can be discovered the longer an Apprentice is with you!

HP: 100/100

Current Level: 1

Attack Set:

Crossbow Breakdance: Cassius will do a headspin, spinning and spinning while shooting arrows from his Crossbow Boots all around. These arrows will rotate around him, before flying towards 5 targets, hitting them with 10 arrows each. If there are less than 5 targets in a battle, the extra arrows will be divided to deal damage to other targets. Each arrow deals 1 damage, but this damage doubles every time Cassius is given a buff for the whole battle.

Anchorage: Cassius will aim his foot at an enemy, and from his signature Crossbow Boots will fire an arrow that is tied with a rope, this allows him to be able to anchor himself to the skin, and pull himself, or the enemy within range, to be able to attack the target with his powerful metal feet twice, and the arrow will be sent back to Cassius, ending the anchoring.

Glisting Footwork: Showing off, Cassius uses his metal boots to shine some light over the eyes of the opponent, blinding them, disabling them from being able to use counter attacks from their Skills, or Support Abilities, rendering abilities such as Quickstrife (Allows an attack to be canceled, and a counter to be dealt to the attacking) useless. In the moment of blindness and deceit, Cassius will take advantage by swiftly overpowering his opponent via different varieties of footwork, dealing quite a lot of damage.

Special Trait of Glisting Footwork: Blind in the Light: Has a chance to blind the enemy for 3 turns when using Glisting Footwork twice in a row on the same enemy.

HP: 180/180

LVL: 3

Attack Set

Curación Lighting: Using electric magic, Lizzie will be able to revive someone that has been knocked out from battle up to half of their health, also healing the wounds. How does electricity does this? Well, you're just a game player that wouldn't care so, that isn't worth to list down now, is it?

Thýella Fotismoú: By channeling the energy from the skies above, Lizzie will strike the battlefield with a mighty typhoon of lightning. Lightning will strike 4 (Increases by 1 every 2 level ups) characters on the battlefield, ally or enemy. This lightning will do great damage, and could stun them. This takes 3 turns to charge, and Lizzie will be left vulnerable for the time being.

Enérgeia Frourá: Lizzie will send a bolt of lightning towards an ally. The ally will become charged with much power and energy, that they will be able to counter an attacks directed to them using their base attack. Their base attack will be twice as strong, and will deal group damage (If the base attack already does group damage, then it will do triple damage). This will last for 2 turns, but after that, they will be exhausted for 2 turns. They will not be able to move for that whole 2 turns as a price of using much energy.
