Kara now rules once more.
Despite the efforts of powerful individuals and even Kraos herself, Kara has been unleased once more upon the state of Aria, and the sole record of the one known way to stop her was, ultimately through the betrayal of the one they call Aizen, destroyed. Months passed and the once unruly cities and tribal nations of Aria inevitably fell into line as they were made to once more remember the sheer power of the old demi-goddesses. And it wasn't just the cities and tribals nations. All the dark and destructive beings who had, before, been eying the once anarchic state of Aria as a snack up for grabs were forcibly pushed all the way back again across the borders of the state into the outlands beyond, and those foolish enough to press their luck against the ancient commander, human or beast, had their blood watering the ground of Aria.
But... Not all was perfect for Kara, for there still stood one who seemed to rival her in power. The one who had managed to slay the demi-goddess Kraos years ago and inherited her wealth of knowledge. The one who had initiated this entire new chain of events. Carmin. Kara may have been opposed to Kraos as well, but this fact didn't matter to Carmin who was not actually a citizen of Aria, but instead, a bordering nation to the east called Eradon. The people of the east rallied around Carmin as one who would protect them from Kara's possible new military advances across the borders. But Carmin had more than just defense on his mind. After having been used as a mere toy by Kraos, Carmin certainly did not trust Kraos' sister, Kara, either and, as soon as Carmin learned of Kara, began to initiate hostile takeovers of cities across the border from Eradon in a pre-emptive strike.
With all of Aria reordered and made to obey Kara once more, the only question that remained now was which nation would be victorious against each other? The ancient power of Aria or the new power of Eradon? Or perhaps a solution of peace could be reached between these two nations. Only time will tell us the answer now.
Your Destructive Vengeance

For this game, each player will make a post below with their chosen character. They may pick any one of their old characters (that hasn't died yet) or create a new one and write a new but short backstory for them. Everyone will start with 30 HP. During combat, if you reach 0 HP, you are now Downed. You can't do anything except lay on the ground and speak. Any other player can bring you back out of the Downed state with 4 HP, but it will take 2 solid turns. On the 3rd turn, your character will be revived. If combat ends and there is no one willing to revive you, your character will die permanently.
If creating a new character, pick any 2 passives and any 6 actives from the following list and give a name to the new class. If the character you pick is an old character and only has 4 actives, go ahead and recreate the character class to your liking in the same way. 2 passives and 6 actives.
Possessed - Passive: Ethereal Intuition
During the start of their 3rd turn, 6th turn, 9th turn, and so on, the user will receive one large hint from the GM as to how to best get past whatever they are facing. Combat included. The hint will pertain specifically to the user who receives it.
Possessed - Passive: Levitation
At any time, you may fly at walking speed in any direction. You can also traverse to two points per turn on the map instead of just one should you so desire. Enemies within a map point you traverse can choose to intercept you if you do this with only a 1/4 chance of missing. Bosses automatically succeed on an intercept. Does not give any evasion bonuses.
Possessed - Active: Conjure Fire

In combat, the user can cast Shapeshift to become camouflaged as well, enforcing a d2 roll on the enemy's turn to see the user in order to attack them, although this won't work on most bosses. Shapeshift can be cancelled at any time without using up a turn, but after 2 d2 rolls have been made to see the user, the spell must be recast.
Possessed - Active: Telekinesis
Allows the user to use Telekinesis to forcibly blast any nearby opponents out of the way in the direction of the user's choosing.

Can be used out of combat at any time without using 1 of the 5 uses.

Deals 4 damage and heals the user for 1 HP if the target's health is greater than the user's. Otherwise does nothing.

Hunter - Passive: Berserk

The wolf can be summoned and unsummoned as much as desired, but if it dies in combat, it can't be used again for the rest of the game.
Hunter - Active: Counterattack
The user ceases acting as they wait as long as the player desires for any attack. Once an attack is delivered against them, the attack has a 50% chance to be blocked completely and the attacker suffering 5 damage for their troubles. The waiting can be canceled at any time as a free action.

During a turn, assuming you're not engaged in active combat already, you can choose to attack anyone. If there is a boss, then they go first before any other player. If you choose to attack someone or something first, the usual attack order will still be followed, although combat will begin with your character going first. After combat ends, and you are not Downed or have been Downed but were revived by a player, you will be healed for the full 30 HP. The players may begin moving again or submit an answer to solve any obstacles they may encounter.

Once all players submit a character, a new thread will be created, and the first turn will start and you will be given a full map of the area. Also keep in mind, who picks what character will dynamically decide major factors for this game... Choose wisely.
