Vestments of Mars

* Although I have yet to claim them, they would be my character's sole purpose of attaining. I already have the Gladius sword as it was past down through my family.

Name:Sword of Mars (owned by The Centurion)
Abilities: This blade is rumored to be the actual sword the Roman God of War used. It is as close to unbreakable as something existing on the mortal plane can get.. Although it appears to be made of ordinary metals, it can cut through steel and stone as long as the appropriate amount of force is applied.
Description: This is an ornate and ancient Gladius sword. It has a gold hilt inscribed with the symbol of Mars (A circle with an arrow protruding from it's 2 o'clock position, now associated with the male symbol of fertility). It's blade is medium length and thick. It has a canal that runs it's length which is purposed for blood loss to it's victim.

Name:Shield of Vulcan (currently owned by a super villain)
Abilities:The shield is unbreakable .. It is perfectly balanced and can be thrown as a weapon, magically returning to it's owner.
Description: This highly polished bronze shield is as ornate as the other vestments of Mars and is covered in magnificent almost indistinguishable filigree that make up the iconic symbol of Mars. It's interior is made up of a hand hold and arm brace.


Name:Spear of Destiny(where abouts unknown)
Abilities: The spear can of course be used as a weapon but it's main function is it's ability to bless it wielder with foresight and magical omen that make them undefeatable in battle. But only if being held by the user, removal from the wielder's grasp negates all abilities.
Description: This is rumored to be the very spear that that Roman Centurion Pontius Pilate used to pierce the side of the crucified Jesus Christ. It is 10 ft. in length and is tipped with a permanently blood stained blade.

The shield seems a bit overpowered.

This reminds me of something, I believe Yugioh-related.

I can assure you that I am far too old to get that reference...but in any case are their some recommendations that you could offer so that the shield might pass your inspection.

p.s I wouldn't have guessed it was the shield that would draw attention....the spear is what I thought might be frowned upon.

Lol, I just saw the spear. It also seems rather overpowered.

Look, the shield can prevent any harm at all to the person, and the spear can pretty much make them kill God. I'll post some suggestions later.

as I said the latter two items are not in my possession...I would be questing after them. The point being that once my character gets them back He would finally become complete and resume his mantle as the God of War....I could be questing after them for years.... The shield is in a villains possession right now, that villain could be and uber powerful despot you could imagine or that already exists. The spear, nobody even knows where or if it exists. So it's not like I would be equipping either of these things any time soon anyway, I just figured that they should reflect vestments of a deity in both power and prestige.

But as always the choice is up to you moderators not me, and I will adhere to what ever judgment is passed.

I'm not a mod/admin.

I'm not a mod/admin either, but off the bat I see a couple of problems.

For one, your sword. To make it unbreakable and have it able to cut through anything seems far too OP to me. With a lvl 6 strength you would just tear through anything, making it OP.

Second, a shield that can redirect any attack and can't be destroyed? That is frankly too strong for use, even if you have to go on a quest with an NPC were you are almost sure to win...
Another thing, to be able to make anyone do anything without their permission is against the rules (The vain thing) and won't be allowed (As far as I'm aware).

Lastly, a spear that makes wounds that can't heal seems OP to me as even minor wounds has the potential to bleed them to death. Foresight is another thing that isn't allowed as it would be considered Rigged.

well then we will have to see what the admins say, If they agree I will gladly edit it...well maybe not gladly...but the edit would be made.

Gay to the spear, gay to the shield, gay to the sword. Mainly because you have a vorpal blade, which almost every sword user has, plus an impervious mirror shield, plus that spear. You really need to pick not have all.

I only have the sword....The others would be goals to attain. I can assure you that the sword holds no magical enchantments for the specific purpose of taking heads. It is simply unblemishable... The other two vestments as I explained earlier in this post, wouldn't even be obtainable for some time to come. You would decide who possesses the shield and the location of the Spear.

It's a bit of an oxymoron to have a sword that can cut through anything, and an indestructible shield. If they clash, what exactly happens? The problem with things like these is that everyone wants their items and armor to be indestructible and potent, and most people have to settle with being made of tempered carbon steel, or a similar heavy metal.

I can see why you would want something like this though. Your character is supposed to be blessed by the gods. Example, Perseus was given an Adamantine Sword by the god Zeus, and Athena gave him a "polished shield". While these were both blessed weapons, I wouldn't say either are indestructible. Instead of giving up, try to settle for second best, and give everyone a fair shot.

You're better at this mod stuff than I am.

You been a mod on some other site?

alright I edited it ...I just like to restate that I do not have the spear and shield. I have the sword...And approving these items would not result in them magically appearing in my possession. They would be long range quests and I have no doubt that anyone that read the trials I am willing to go through to obtain these items, wouldn't say I didn't earn them by the end of it. I would also add that as you will all see, I am a very responsible RPer and as you will see any trust bestowed upon me wouldn't be regretted.


Finally on a side note. I recently read another fresh faced RPer attempt to circumvent the Item application section by tagging his own little super powered sword on to his character. I find it hard to believe that controlling and creating multiple elemental forces is all fine and dandy even though it has little to do with his character core archetype just because he wanted to up the amount of outlandish crap he could do and yet I am here defending myself on a well thought out story appropriate items that I don't even possess yet. I warn you from experience, this sort of nepotism never breeds good character development, instead only hampers it .

It seems better now. I also didn't like Hess's swords, and advised Toby against it. Wait for an admin to approve.
