While I'm not announcing the creation of an RPG at this time, I would like to evaluate the potential RPG material that I have already made on this site:
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_(4e_Race) (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_(4e_Race))
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_Civilization_(DnD_Other) (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_Civilization_(DnD_Other))
The setting would not be Dungeons and Dragons if played here, and any character from any race which can fit into a fantasy setting (essentially, anything without modern technology) could be in it.
What do you think?
-
It could be interesting.
Some things would have to be decided, if magic is allowed, what power level, so folks don't have god level characters running around, magic items, what races may not be allowed since they are to powerful as individuals, ect.
-
If it were to be made, there WOULD be magic, but not on a god-like level; i.e. no bringing back the dead, no "deus ex machina" spells, no "drop a meteor on planet" option, etc.
Any race could be allowed, as long as it wasn't hopelessly more powerful than the other players.
EDIT: Yes, there would be magic items too.
-
There has to be limits since some folks do tend to go way over other folks in power level. Some of them do this without realizing it, others may partially realize it but want to have the strongest, most powerful, ect character.
So it is best to start this to allow a lot of time to discuss things, set limits rules ect.
-
Well, if one looks at the two links, one will see some information posted about the setting. While there is a lot of flexibility, but a few things should be set, IF the RPG gets made, which I haven't started up yet.
1. The setting, being based of off a race on a wiki, will take place in the land where the race lives. Specifically, in a desert with a collection of towns, city-states, oases, etc. The race is called the Dracons (see links for more.)
A few quick details: The Dracons are a mix of humans and dragons (made by magic), are bipedal, have fangs, claws, scales, horns, a tail, no wings, can breathe acid, and stand a bit above human height, with males taller than females.
2. While the non-Dracon characters can have whatever social/religious/philosophical ideas they want and can come from any fantasy-compatible background, the Dracons would come from the setting that is pre-made, although the characters do not have to conform with their society.
3. There would also be a prohibition on any "instant death" spells.
-
Would you use levels and classes?
-
well this certainly looks interesting....I might give it a try..
-
I'm not sure if levels could be used very well, if anyone knows how to implement them, then it might work. As for classes... that seems like a good idea, although that is really something which would shape the background and actions of the character more than anything else. I have posted two characters in the random role play section; each of them has his/her own class.
EDIT: As for races, as I have said, anyone can be any race they want as long as it isn't hopelessly powerful. Anyone can make almost any race come from any background, with any set of social norms from said background, unless they want to play a Dracon, because this setting has the Dracons come from a certain society which already has a set of norms.
-
Although I have posted information on a wiki which can be accessed from the links above, it won't hurt for me to post some information about the setting down here.
The Environment: The RP would be set in a desert, with farming areas around oases, rivers, and some other patches of fertile land near coasts and some irrigated fields. There are a number of large cities, populated by the Dracons, a race which will be described below. Sandstorms are frequent, although the desert is more rock than sand.
The Dracons: This race is the general population of the setting, although visitors from other races are common, at least in the major cities. The Dracons are partially human, partially Dragon, although their dragon side is by far the stronger of the two. Males are significantly larger, tougher, and stronger than females, although females are more dexterous, agile, and better balanced. Dracon males stand between 6'2-6'8, females are about 5'4-5'10. Males weight between 185-220 lbs, females weigh between 110-150.
The society of the Dracons is very unjust, with the poor being treated like dirt, and females being treated in a rather sexist way. Most inhabitants of Dracon cities live in slums and in poor conditions (about 60% of Dracon city dwellers), but some middle-class and rich Dracons exist.
I have more information on the race, if anyone wants it.
The Magic System: Essentially Dungeons and Dragons, magic spells in the RPG are only limited by being too powerful or being able to bring back the dead. Almost anything else is fair game, as long as a "fix everything" spell isn't used. Characters who use magic should list exactly what spells they have before the RPG would begin, so they can't just invent an ability exactly when they need it.
EDIT: Here is kind of an idea as to what the Dracons look like. I know that this is a Dragonborn from Dungeons and Dragons, so you should mentally add a tail and make the scales smoother: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/RacesNCl...lery/111128.jpg (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/RacesNClasses_Gallery/111128.jpg)

Hello:
The idea is quite interesting, but I am curious, since I don't know much about D&D, you mentioned that other races can be used, do you have a link or info so maybe me and other possible players may see what other options are available?
Thanks and keep it up with this idea.
-
Here is a link:
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page)
While any race that you want to use can be used, this is only partially based of off D&D; I do NOT want to run a strict D&D game on this site. If I wanted a D&D RPG, I would look for another site.
Generally, we have the following races in a standard D&D 4e game:
Humans: No surprises here.
Elves: More agile and lighter than humans, good with bows.
Eladrin: Elf-like race with magical abilities and at-will teleportation.
Dwarves: Short, tough people with skill in axes, hammers, and mining.
Halflings: Short little people known for sneaking.
Dragonborn: New to 4e, these are lesser cousins of Dragons with scales and breath power.
-
Quite a few races.
-
And there is no need to be limited by that list; my race is homebrewed, which means that it isn't even official.
What might help is a background description of each character we list, that way, we know a bit about each character, without the need to spend RP time fleshing him/her out.
-
I guess being in a desert wearing armor, especially certain types of armor would be a bad idea. I forgot the Ad&d setting, maybe it was the one based on arabian knights, but they had rules down for a gm if the person insisted on wearing armor what levels of heat damage & such they'd take.
-
Well, there are Dracons who wear armor, but they are well-adapted for the heat. The civilians wear less; the females cover themselves with a top and a loincloth, but not much else. This is done to reduce the amount of heat retained.
Keep in mind that it is as hot as the Sahara in their lands.
EDIT: Do you think that it might be a good idea for me to test how I RP with a couple of practice posts here?
-
Ok. I'm going to try and set this RPG up. It will take some time, but it should go well.
If anyone is interested in joining, just tell me.
You can bring any fantasy-compatible character(s) to the RPG that you want. I acknowledge that it will likely take some time to have enough people. I will attempt to play two characters.
-
I'll try to type up info on my char. I may put it up on another forum since it may be a bit to long for here.
As for level the only way I can think of is if you tell certain folks, either on this thread or via pm that this or that skill has gone up, this weapon skill has gone up. They've learned this skill, this spell, ect.
-
It is probably best that we not include leveling in this RPG. I can discuss this further, but since not all of us are familiar with the concepts of leveling up, it is best to leave it out for now.
-
True, but you can still tell folks by pm, this or that skill, weapon, as gone up, they've learned this or that, if you want.
Depending on what sorts of characters folks do here I may do a 2nd character. Though I guess, like in most groups, certain characters like a paladin would not fit in.
-
I think it is best if we try to do one adventure, then see if we can level up after it, so that we are all on the same page.
And yes, you've convinced me to change my mind on the leveling up part.
EDIT:
I'm going to post two short entries for my characters here. The full entries can be found in the characters section elsewhere on this forum.

http://z8.invisionfree.com/Turs_Cave/index...=0#entry2641194 (http://z8.invisionfree.com/Turs_Cave/index.php?showtopic=205&st=0#entry2641194)
-
Alright. Here is my first Chara I'll be using
Name: Akito Kiryusen
Race: Fauxen (anthromorphic red fox)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Akito wears a blue long-tailed coat, which has a slit up the back to his waist, from which his tail protrudes. The sleeves of the coat are cut cleanly off, revealing strong, well-muscled arms. He wears black long pants, which, despite the heat, seem not to bother him. He also wears black, fingerless gloves. His black hair is tied back in a long ponytail, with long bangs framing his face, and his ice-blue eyes.
Equipment:
Yamato: Aki's favored weapon, this Fauxen katana is razor-sharp, and seems to be unbreakable and ever sharp. The blade is rumored to have been forged by a demon.
Personality:
Akito comes off as friendly, if a bit sarcastic, but beneath the facade, he is calm, calculating, and ruthless in battle...

Well, I am a large Final Fantasy fan, so the characters I made reflect such, and I based them on actual Final Fantasy rules so they can be associated to the official series better, but I said "based" because I did tweak some things, so not to use from the series directly, with characters like Adelle, Hurdy, and such. I made these characters myself, using premade aspects.
I prefer Final Fantasy Tactics games more, and they do something unique. They tone down each class, but make up for it by letting you select two of them. Again, they aren't twice as powerful as characters from other games, since each class is more limited.
To be more original, I combined classes into most unheard of combinations, and some are even impossible for the games, considering the Pictomancer class is only available in Final Fantasy VI, no tactics one at all.
I prefer relatively weak characters, since I specialize in support over battle, although my characters do have offensive abilities at their disposal. Every spell I picked for each of them honestly is learned by one of classes each has, along with the usable weapons. I took some things out so not to be overwhelming with usable spells, but every spell I use is left unchanged.
I have reasons for things I did with them, for example the attack comparison for two of my characters which might raise an eyebrow. If it does, my stats are roughly based on the classes, and not so much age and gender. My stats are "base stats" meaning that those are what they excell in depending on the number between 1-10, not that a 10 means they are the ultimate in whatever that number is associated with.
Each of my characters are reflecting by a certain emotion based on their past, and as Final Fantasy is Japanaese, I ended up naming each character after the Japanese word for the emotion they represent. As for what happened in their past and why they are together, I feel that would fit better unfolding in the RP, not a biography of each on this post. Each emotion is the personality basis for each, so if it's anger, that character has a very short temper, and so forth.
I picked five more realistic spells for each character, chosen from what was available for the combination. I had to pick very limited ones, because for example the Heritor class has a spell that sacrifces the user to revive all the user's allies; too powerful to fit the given rules here.
Here are my characters, and they can be changed if something doesn't work out with any or all of them. Each of them is fairly thin, so that provides the general weight image that will come to mind with them; they are too poor to eat well, having no one to care for them but themselves. And of course, I know that some of these moves are still quite good, but I am well aware of succes rates, so you can expect the better moves to not work all the time.

Just a few more things to cover here. First of all, I am a committed RPer, but most here should know that I do not RP everyday, and when I do, it is usually just one post, but I am working on improving that. Therefore, as I have done in many RP's, my characters must spend a good deal of time away from the others, so if I don't return for a while, I won't hold anything up. I'm afraid that since only I know about these characters, I cannot double team on their control like I am in the Insane Cafe 3 thread. I can interact with others frequently, but I can't stay with them for very long.
Secondly, to make my characters powers a bit unique than standard RPG video games, each already knows all of their moves, but has trouble doing some of them yet. One might try a spell, but having little skill in using it yet, it may not work, or not work correctly, which I hope to use in humorous ways.
Finally, my trio here is not a copy of my trio in the RP Super Smash Bros. Collision. They represent frustration (Jigglypuff), worry (Rita), and concern (Mallow), although you will find similarities in treatment between the two groups.
That being said, I'll begin RPing here soon, sometime after my characters are approved by the RP starter, Noname. And over time, I will add more details to the descriptions these characters, as these ones are only my first draft. Later!
-
Sounds good so far.

Hello:
Thanks noname for letting me to enter this rpg, as I told you, I am very busy with university stuff so I'll try to keep up with the rpg.
Here is the bios for the character I'll be using:
Name: Eriol Dha'ar
Species: Gaean Black Panther
Gender: Male
Age: 30 years old
Appearance: A thin but muscular anthropomorphical black phanter. He has yellow eyes and several scars from many combats, but most of them are covered by his clothing. Since the time he arrived to the desert, he also wears custom sandals and a magic bracelet that will protect him from the intense heat. He uses a large crossbow to attack enemies at long-range and two small swords for close-range combats, but he is most capable to fight without the use of any weapons, or even of using anything he can find from his surrounding areas to his favor.
Personality: A quiet and distrusting traveller, Eriol's mind is foccused in a mission: to hunt down the one responsible for the death of his mate and the end of his dream to have a peaceful life.
History: Been the last known member of a very feared family of assassins, Eriol has a story of fighting and slaughtering enemies. That changed when he met his mate, an aristocrat Gaean Panther called Arianne.
They decided to make a life together and raise a family despite all odds, but happiness would not last forever, a rival warrior decided to kill Eriol and destroy the Dha'ar family for good only a few days after the birth of Eriol's son Isaac; in the confussion and heat of the fight Arianne is killed and Eriol is forced to flee with his son, claiming for revenge.
A few days later, Eriol leaves his baby son at the care of a friend of his and his family and departed in a quest to avenge his mate.
Recent clues he got took Eriol to the remote desert. Even though time has passed, the anger inside him has not diminished.
-
Sounds like an interesting character.
-
Very interesting indeed.
-
Hello:
Thanks Kor and Noname :DD .
-
Here is the way the dracons dress:
Male Dracons over the age of 14 can dress like humans do, minus any footwear, as Dracons don't use footwear at all.
Female Dracons who are adults wear a loincloth and a top. They may or may not wear other ornamentation or other very light clothing, but generally, they don't wear much.
Young Dracons under the age of 7 only wear a loincloth.
Male Dracons between age 7 and 14 wear a loincloth and pants.
Young female Dracons get a top when their mammaries start to develop.

Hello:
I know the players here are really having a good time and this rpg even has a new player, that's awesome, but I'll be happy if the number of posts could be limited. Yesterday I had too many things to do, and this rpg had 20 new pages?... I also enjoy been here, but if this happen again I may not be able to catch up again and I may need to leave because my time is limited.
Please don't consider this as a rant or anything, I like been here but we should try to keep the post at a better number.
Thanks.
-
That sounds like it may be needed for the main rp.
If 2 or more players want to rp a night conversation a scouting mission, ect, where only some of their chars will be rping, away from the main group, and they want to rp this & they can post quickly and think it may up up being more then part of a page, even 2-10 pages or more, maybe they can do a side rp thread, instead of rping it in the main thread and can summarize this in the main rp as a part of a comment 1 or 2 people make.
This may allow both to be satisfied. The main folks who only rp in the main rp thread which may have some sort of limit on the posts so everyone can easily keep up & those who want or like to do frequent posts or want to rp something that may lead to a lot of pages can get that and those in the main group don't need to read this since it is in another thread and it can be summarized for the main rp thread.
-
Yeah, Meta ans Noname, lets slow it down so the rest can catch up...
-
Okay. I understand. I will work to limit the number of posts in a given session unless all players are currently in (a rare event.) I will try to keep it to no more than 10 pages per session on average. Thanks for that.

Character: Isla Dunma
Age 25
Race: Dracon
Gender Female
Height 6'0
Ilsa is f noble birh, being one of 52 children. She wears a top and loincloth with a pouch next to the cloth. she is skilled in magic, and her family and father specializes in the arts. She is among the younger members of her family so she remains unmarried. She does have bisexual feelings, although she is not full-bore bisexual. She wears golden circlets on her arms..
-
Here is the link to the original source material... also made by me: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_(4e_Race) (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_(4e_Race))
-
Ok, I'll shorten her to say 5'6...
-
You can do that if you want. Yes, The D&D wiki is a great site for posting stuff of this nature...
-
Yes it is, I understand if dracon culture frowns on female-female relations, but given their intolerance for the other civilities of rule of law, fair treatment, and female equality.. having two females in relationship doesn't seem like that big a deal, especially whem males can have all the females they want..
-
This could have negative consequences for metadude's and my plans for Rex and Selturma. I've been trying to drop this "connection" between Selturma and Isla... and it is really unfair to not just me, but another player to force that on them... so, if you won't find a way to drop it, I will simply have all magic be negated in a certain room or something, and cancel the effects. Metadude and I planned for something for a while, so can you please cut the "bisexual effect", or whatever it is on Selturma?
You can make decisions about your own characters to no end, but please don't force something on other people's characters.
-
Of course.. I'm not trying to force Isla on Selturma, just telling what she she is.. She can't change who she is.. I understand if you have plans for Rex and Selturma, and I will respect those...
-
That character of mine has no magic. Period. You can do whatever you want with your own character, or even make an army of transsexuals if you so pleased, but don't affect other people's characters. How would you have liked it if I changed Isla? You wouldn't appreciate it.
-
Actually I'm flexible enough to go along with the changres, but your point is made.. I'll drop the coversation going on, and move on to the next riddlle.. I had originally wanted to keep the Rex-Selturma relationship and build one betwen Isla and sElturna as it is possible to have both.. but since you don''t like the idea I'll drop it entirely..
-
It is VERY impossible for them to have both, trust me. I know that this is a "fantasy" RP, but if you want to have that sort of stuff, please find a willing player or make another character of your own to do that stuff with; I have no objection to characters of that "mindset" in my RP, but don't make them come onto another unwilling character, ESPECIALLY a 14-year old!
-
Yes, that is true.. which is why I'm dropping it..
-
I see that now... good. It IS dropped now, and we can just move on.
-
and it is for the best. i believe in rping inn harmony with my fellow rpers.. and If they have plans for the rp, far be from me to change them. My characters will have their quirks, but nothing more than that..
-
You are free to do that with your own characters, of course.
-
Of course, and i do change them from time to time..
-
You can also add and subtract characters as you please, as long as you don't just have them disappear or appear for totally no reason.
-
Of course. If i add a character I stick with them for awhile..
-
That is good to hear. I wouldn't try to kill off anyone else's character, but I MAY put them in danger, but always give them a chance to escape it.
-
and that is wise. It may also be good to test your own characters, say for example, have a rival appear to challenge REx over Selturma.. a rival that Rex knows well, and who has bested him on past occassions.. just a suggestion..
-
Rex isn't my character; Metadude gave me permission to control him when he wasn't around, so that is a call for him to make, not me. But I still see your point.
-
Then that is something to bring up with meta.. :)
-
Did you see Rex's earlier fight with Jake? That is the sort of aggression that Dracons have.
-
Yes I did, and it would be even more ferocious, when love and honor are involve.. it would be truly epic..
-
Maybe when Rex is older; Metadude and I plan to have this RP continue over a long time, possibly in "real-time" in some parts, in that the characters will grow and mature.
-
Than that will provide some very interesting possibilities..I've had rps stretch on for years..
-
At this rate, my RP will go on for like 500 pages. There will be more adventures after the statue is recovered.
-
well that will be the longest I've ever rped in. I once rped for 300 pages with Threehorn..
-
Cool. Keep in mind that you, or anyone else can ask me about the setting at any time, or you can check out the wiki that I have provided the link to.
-
Thats cool, and as the characters age, they will be faced with challenge, accepting thier chganging bodies.. trying to keep thier heads high in an oppressive world..
-
Well, I suppose it IS an oppressive world, but that is one of the things which makes it kind of fun to adventure in; there is little point in adventuring in a world of puppies and sunshine.
-
Of course.. that is what makes it exciting..
-
Just remember that past a certain age, the Dracons have no real taboos against pre-marital sex... at all. It isn't just a "relaxed attitude", it is essentially seen as totally natural with no guilt whatsoever, as long as there is no cheating involved. Of course, there is often a double-standard applied to the females in that a male can marry multiple females, but not the other way around.
-
I'm guessing though you're not going to have Selturma develop any sorts od feelings for Isla once she reaches 16.. I understand of course, just want to be clear from here on out.. so I don't make any mistakes in that regard..
-
Selturma would literally rather die than to have those sorts of relations. Really.
-
I yunderstand completely.. she is completely heterosexual .. the test imo wil be for Rex to stay loyal to her..
-
I don't control Rex most of the time, so it is really Metadude's test. As it is, female Dracons are very promiscuous, even more so than the males.
-
So you could have Seturma start finding interest in other males, create tension between them.. its not all lovey--dover, making out and having sex, its struggle and hard work to keep thier relationship going..
-
Rex will probably be REALLY mad if he were to catch Selturma cheating on him; if she were to cheat on him even one time, he would destroy the egg she laid on the chance that it was not his... and the Dracon law would sanction that sort of behavior in that rare instance. Otherwise, harming an egg is taboo.
-
Yes, and that would drive a wedge between them, because Selturma would HATe that fact that he destroyed her egg..
-
She would hate that fact, but would have no choice but to go along with it; cheating mates are treated harshly, especially if they are female. She would receive no sympathy from anyone, even her own family.
-
She would probably be driven out by her family.. and that might very well end the relationship between her and rEx.. and i don't think she'd have much chance outside with that stain on her..
-
Rex would forgive her one time if he smashed her egg that might not be his... at least, that is how most Dracon males would do it. She cheats twice, he divorces her and there is no longer any connection between them at all unless they ever decide to get back together.
-
Which would never happen, and then she'd be at the mercy of whatever person took her in, and that person would have to be a free spirit..
-
It will not be easy for Selturma to walk that path... which is my concern, seeing as how she is one of my characters.
-
I might bring in a character to take her in.. I could have one of Isla's brother offer to marry her.. Nobles don't really care about past transgressions as long as the females are fecund and able to have children..
-
Well, Selturma and Rex aren't married yet, nor am I planning on making her cheat on him, so that should not be a concern. Thanks for giving me that option anyway.
-
That may come thrpough, you can't reject that possibilkity, especially with females being very promiscious. Selturma's eyes will wander..as will Rex's that is a virtual certainty..
-
I would have to ask Metadude about that; Dracon males usually stay monogamous in a middle-class marriage, but if Rex is successful, he will likely take a second wife, if only to increase his prestige. If he is very successful, he will have several wives.
-
And then we'd see long long Selturma will put up with that. You can't expect a wife to tolerate competition with several other wives for very long..
-
She would likely take it out on the other wives, not her husband. As it is, she would settle for "favored wife" status.
-
Which becomes a vicious cycle. Smile for the hubby, scheme against Wife #3 when he's not looking.
-
Or she could suggest some of her unmarried friend for a second or third wife.
-
I intended for it to be so... well... kind of like the Islamic world, I guess. Not fair, not equal, and not thinking of others as full human beings... or full Dracon beings, in this case.
-
Yes I gpot that jist. when You repress people they cling to whatever they can hold onto, and sometimes that is taboo ..not saying that will happen in our rp, but is a possible outcoome.. you can't create a world whre guys can have 15 wives an d expect that your characters will not mimic that..
-
Well, Rex is not really in my control. I have been given permission to "borrow" him when Metadude is not around, but I don't think that he would approve of a sweeping change made to his character's life if I were to do something major in his absence.
-
I know.. There's always that caveat..
-
I won't make that sort of decision for Rex... but that sort of thing is a long time down the road.
-
at least 2 years.. I agree..
-
I'm not sure if that will be two years real time, or if the RP will accelerate time. Still, it will happen sooner or later.
-
Usually in my experience it is the latter..
-
Probably. I will have to coordinate it with Metadude. Thanks for the advice, though.
-
No problem.. I have been doing this for awhile and any advice I can give, I do..
-
Do you think the setting itself is good? I know that I didn't explain every last little facet of it here, and I know that leaving some parts up the the player's interpretation is good...
-
It is good, and giving me the freedom to have an "enlightened" character is good. Isla doesn't like that unfair social order., while she ultimately benefits from it, she enjoys helping out the lower class whenever possible. While the nobles can't publicly approve of that... they in practice look the other way..
-
What noble would do that? Keep in mind that, while you can always make a noble who DOES look the other way as a character, the default would not be that. Of course, I didn't make that so clear here...
-
Her father and his allies.. which thanks to his children'smarriages are most of the important people in the region... Isla is in a very good position
-
She would be... as long as she keeps her father's favor; he is the source of her wealth. She will never really be independent in this set-up; she is either a part of the house of her father or her husband.
-
That is true, but since he has so many children, any "untoward behavior" will probably slip his notice. He's more concerned with his older, more important children then wondering what daughter 27 is doing, as long as she is not engaing in taboo and illicit conduct that would bring shame on the family, shje has more less a free hand..
-
That is true; her father would be concerned with running his estates and looking after his firstborn son more than daughter # 27.
-
Much in the way nobles ran things in the middle ages.. the poor and middle class were locked in service to thier lords. If you were born porr, you stayed poor, and everyone of your descendents did to. thee was no upwards mobility..
-
I know, it was bad... but some minor mobility existed for those who became knights, or those who entered the church... at least, a bit...
-
Mostly the church, much of our knowledge of the ancient works comes from copies writtens by scribes and monks.. many kings could barely read and write.. most church people could..
-
They had to know how to read; how else could you tell what was in the Bible otherwise? I know that illiterate people had to depend on the Church to tell them what was in the Bible, but the Church itself had to know..
-
I was refering to kings, not the church. the church was very literate, by the standards of the time..
-
Oh. I see.
In this setting, all Dracon kings of civilized areas are literate, although many tribal chiefs are not.
Most females are illiterate, even many noble ones, although it is not at all uncommon for a female noble to learn how to read and write.
-
Isla is literate and can read and write.. Her father believed in educating his children, and could afford to educate them..
-
That is good to hear; she wouldn't be such a good mage if she couldn't read her spells!
-
yes She wouldn't be much of a mage if she couldn't read..
-
True, although certain sorcerers in the Dracon lands cast magic by means of intuition and emotion, and don't need to learn how to read, although in practice, most learn how.
-
Emotions often lad to overcasting, that is putting too much power into spells..
-
True; a sorceress (for that is the emotionally-driven kind are among Dracons) has to be careful not too let out too much emotion, but cannot let out too little if her spells are to be effective.
-
I imagine spells have been used to steal wives and cause trouble right?
-
Not usually, but that can happen.
-
Yeah i imagine it would..
-
Magic can often be used to disrupt the social order... I will have to consider the implications of that in the RP world.
-
Yes, that has to be factored in..
-
I get the feeling that this RP of mine is a bit less... random than the others.
-
Yes. I insist on having plots to go along with the roleplay.. otherwise if nothing is accomplished, all thst posting was a waste of time..
-
It seems like the plot is reaching a climax point soon enough; the party is getting close to its goal... although I have prepared a surprise for when they finally reach that statue.
-
So are you going to have a sequel. or just keep going after the statue?
-
Keep going after the statue, but might include a spin-off featuring the two mages who are trying to kill the party: they are a mated pair who seek to guard the statue. As husband and wife, they have children as well, who might also play a part... however, this is some time in the future.
-
Well, I have a thought. What about Rhiga. She is of age, right.. She's 23.. and I could use the fact that she stole from Isla's father later on in the Rp..
-
Yes, Rhiga is of age... she will never do anything "bi", however.
-
You can never say never though.. Desperate people often do desperate things. Just an example.. Isla's father finding out Rhiga stole from him and threatens to send her to prison for twenty years... she'd do anythging, literally to get out of it..
-
Rhiga already ran away from one city, she can simply avoid another. I will NOT let that happen to my characters.
-
No need to argue over this.
-
Of course not. I simply refuse to let my character be used as an object of bisexual pleasure, end of story.
-
How can she run away ifv she is locked up? She did steal from him after all, and in this world, the rich make thier own rules..I am simply going off of what you put down in the wiki.. What did she steal frim him anyway? You've never made that clear. I'll bring in another character to be Isla's "consort"
-
I Understand your feeling Noname.. which is why I'm bringing in a new character lkater on..
-
I made it VERY clear in the wiki as to who she stole from. Rhiga stole from the prince of her city. The city was named Hekaga. She was caught stealing from the prince, as in they SAW her steal, but she escaped but climbing out of a window and down the side of the palace. She was never locked up. You can be 'caught red handed' and still escape from something, you know... only... they know you did it.
"Born in the Dracon city of Hekaga, Rhiga's early life was one of poverty, having been raised by her mother alone, as neither she nor her mother knew who her father was. Her mother was a dancer, and taught this skill to her daughter. Even with steady work, Rhiga was often unable to make both ends meet due to her low wages and the fact that few other occupations are open to females in Dracon lands. Her brother was a thief who taught her how to steal if she needed to get more than she was being paid. For a couple of years, Rhiga was able to steal from rich Dracons who hired her to perform for their feasts. Because many guests arrive at such events, it would be difficult to pin the blame on any one individual if the host discovered that some of his valuables were stolen. Unfortunately, Rhiga's luck ran out when she attempted to steal from the prince of Hekaga. While she managed to escape, she cannot safely return to the city, and thus, she hit the road, and has gained experience since her flight from Hekaga. Rhiga is a mid-level rogue who is currently on the run from the law of her home city."
-
That explains a lot.. Thanks...
-
You are welcome. Do you normally try to make female characters of yours engage in that sort of activity with other characters? You've done it or insinuated in with two of mine.
-
Sounds like an argument. Think I"ll not look at this thread anymore. The 2 of you can argue to your heart's content, but I'll not see it.
-
Actually its rare in my characters, I believe in exploring just about all walks of life in my characters, but I understand if you feel uncomfortable with it.. I doubt when you thought up this rpers you'd be dealing with a character of her "persuasion.. Don't worry Isla will gett mnarried to male later on.. so this " insinuation will become less and less. This uis simply "Isla "acting out....
-
That's ok. I knew when I made an RP that there would be all sorts of characters coming into it... I actually considered limiting it to straight characters, knowing that most people wouldn't complain, but then I saw your posts in that insane cafe...
-
Yes, Ive a couple characters who are exploring thier feelings in that rp.. I"m sorry if she came on too strong.. or appears to be.. that is not my intention..
-
It is okay, that is not my call to make. I cannot force anything on any other character or player, and I would never want anything forced on me, especially that kind of choice.
-
I understand , and I was never trying to force your characters into that choice. Thats not fair to you...
-
Well, you DID mention a catch-22 situation with Rhiga... but that never materialized. Good thing too, because if you had persisted, I would have gone something like dropped a castle on Isla, or something like that...lol
Anyway, it is good to hear that no one is forcing anything! :)
-
I would have used some device to get her out of it..but since that isn't going to happen.. :) Given her reputation, I think there is quite a few cities Rhiga should stay away from.. I imagine they have rewards out for her capture?
-
Her home city of Hekaga has a reward for her capture. Since her audacious theft of those jewels (which she had to drop in her escape, and were since recovered by the prince), the crown prince of the city has been a lot more careful. His father is the one with the bounty on Rhiga's head, though. As long as she stays away from the city or the territories under its control, she is safe.
-
That clears up a lot of things.. what did she steal from Isla's father? I imagine she's stolen from lots of nobles.. given what you've said..
-
I didn't really think that what she stole was important... but lets just say she stole some jewelry (if you want specifics, a brooch) and sold it at a pawn shop. Rhiga can only steal what she can fit and conceal in her loincloth, so she couldn't steal a gold bullion or something like that.
-
That can work.. I imagine Rhiga will probablt keep to herself and no mention her thieving..
-
She will definitely keep it to herself. If she is invited to Isla's palace, she will be returning to the scene of the crime...
-
Granted Isla doesn't know that.. she'd feel very differently if she knew..
-
Well, Rhiga won't say a word... although she might be recognized by the household's servants and other residents as a dancer... still, none of them pinned the crime on Rhiga... although one of them might have been suspicious (that is up to you.)
-
We'll deal with that when we come to it..
-
Yes. That will be later, if it happens at all.
-
Yes. you're very firm in your statements.. I respect that., Iyt will take some time I thik before we get used to each others style.. This is really the first time we rped togather, and I joined in media res, So I didn't get all the info right away.
-
I don't like too much ambiguity, at least, when I am trying to do a serious RP. By contrast, my character in the Cafe RP gets into arguments with the narrator and acts like a walking stereotype.
-
Yes, I can see where you 'd like your characters straight up.. I usually play my characters the same way.. although sometimes i throw in a quirk here and there..
-
What are your plans for Isla, if I may be so bold as to ask?
-
I Plann on having her marry a middle son of a nearby lord..a couple years from now.. She will downplay her "instincts' at that point, but until then, She is anmbigious.. I'll keep it understated though in the rp..
-
That sounds good. Do you think that the characters should visit her estate at some point?
-
Yes, She'd like that. She really is fond of Selturma, and will grow to be fond of Rex as well.. they will be like family to her, even though she has lot of siblings, she' isn't that close to them. you can't really have a close relationship with so many other people..
-
I see. I don't have that many siblings, lol. Besides, she knows that most of them are half-siblings...
-
Yes, half-sibilings and she's at the botttom of the pecjking order too..
-
Well, let's see... she's female, so that sets her beneath males of most ages... does she have any younger sisters?
-
A Couple I think.. and her father is having another baby with his 4th wwife..
-
Well, that's good to know. By this time, I'd imagine that her father is quite used to having children be born...
-
Yep.. this will be his 53rd. keeping track of them is the tough part..
-
I'm sure he has some way of keeping track; his heirs DO have a claim to part of his estate... at least, his sons do.
-
She'll get some property. not much, but enough to live on, and she'll get some money when he dies.. and het status raised her above, males of the middle and lower classes..
-
Female Dracons cannot own land, though. Don't be too shocked; unfair and unjust as it is, the same has been true in many human societies for a long time. I mentioned it in my wiki entry. That said, a female CAN inherit valuable jewels and finery, as well as money itself.
-
That doesn't shock me at all. it happened in England for centuries. women were property.. I'm playing against type here, it was usually up to the father whether his daughters got anything at all.
-
Isla can still bring a lot of money to a marriage; after all, no Dracon noble would think of sending over a daughter away without a dowry, and the larger, the better.
-
The reason why Isla is not married right now, is because her marriage is not needed. Her father status as onew of the most powerful nobles is secure, and given her position as a youngster in the family, she's not marrying an eldest son, in all likelihood.. unless her father thinks it would bring him an advantage
-
The noble's children are an asset, and like many assets, it is best to save them until they are needed. Dracon females can breed throughout almost their entire lives, and they don't show signs of age until their last 30 years of life... keep in mind that they live for about 50% longer than humans do.
-
Good post about the drawings; I was afraid for a moment that you were going to have her draw nude dracon females, possibly in suggestive poses. Then again, that just reveals my pessimism. :lol
-
so, one female so produce dozens of children.. I've kept the number fairly small. because otherwise she could be one of 350..
-
She might have been like that, but there are a few things to remember. First, many of the eggs laid will be duds. Second, many of the hatchlings will not survive their first years. Third, many Dracons who do survive childhood often die in war or disasters.
-
Contigency factors.. I see..
-
Also, I think you might have it backwards; same-sex relations are forbidden among the Dracons, so why would they allow males to draw nude males, and females to draw nude females? If anything, it would be the opposite.
-
I;'ll have to tweak that around then.. You did write that massauer that were female were not allowed to touch the breasts or privates of thier female partients only males could do that..
-
This is true. The Dracons don't want there to be anyone of the same sex "working" each other... although you are free to have your characters break the rules.
-
But only if she is working another of my characters , right? ;) Your characters wouldn't like that...
-
Correct. You can make as many characters as you like, and you can make them how you want them to be... so long as they aren't so powerful that they can destroy whole galaxies with a flick of their wrist.
-
Ok, now I get it... I'll be introducing Isla's Consort.. soon.. Her is name is Minna Ennaz.. she's a daughter of a neibhoring lord, she's 21, and has known Isla for a couple years. It is only recently that she stated to 'notice" Isla.. and well.. I'll leave the story to fill in the rest..
-
okay. You can do that. Totally. The other characters may not approve... but they cannot really do anything about it.
-
Especially since she's a noble.. :)
-
Well yes, but if I had my characters somehow destroy them because of that, it would make your time on the RP much worse, and neither of us wants to do that.
-
No, that would be as bad as me, for example, forcing Selturma into a Relatuionship with Isla.. they may not like what they see, on the other hand Isla has proven herself a loyal friend, so They'll hold thier tongues..
-
They might chatter a bit, but they can't change a thing, as I said.
-
They could, if they suddenly publicized what they saw... Isla could get into deep trouble with her father.. Embarssing the family is a no-no..
-
Isla could end up disowned... if she is lucky. At worst, they would kill her, erase her from all records, and never speak of her again.
-
So, yeah its a big no-no.. Her father would probably just send her away..far away .. in exile.. her consort would certainly be executed.. its what happened to Elizabeth Bathory..the Blood Countess..
-
Ouch. I was thinking something along the lines of a Damnatio Memoriae.
-
That works too. bathory was a noble in Hungary in the early 17th century, who is believed to have killed 800 girls over 20 years.. She believed that thier blood would keep her young forever.. When her crimes were finally exposed, hger accompliced were executed.. Bathory was spared due to her nobility. instead she was walled up inside her own castle, , locked away away in a room for 4 years..until she died. She was one of the inspirations Bram Stoker took for his "Dracula".
-
Oh. Well, I meant something like this, although you by no means have to use it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae)
-
Damning memory.. That is an option.. I may use.. should it come up..
-
Yes. It is very dramatic indeed.
-
What's this about a cup? I may have missed something...
-
Well its looks like a cup.. thst the light is going into ..
-
I see. I'll make my characters mention it too.
-
What exactly is the artifact they are seeking?
-
A magical statue... with a surprise.
-
I think a little statue, but I may be wrong.
-
Then we are getting near to it..
-
Well, we are in the same temple as it is in... but the temple is very big... and I will make something surprising happen when the statue is found.
-
Mario and Luigi will appear. Or Bowser will be the final boss :p
-
You never know ;)
-
If that DID happen, I would ask whoever did that to revise the post! No, it is not like that! :lol
-
Metadude, the rp is in a temple at this point, so you might want to say that either that Jake hid in the bushes in the temple garden, or cut the bushes out entirely.
-
say he hid behind some rubble.. and it woiuld not be good to roll out into rubble..
-
with the style of magic he knows maybe he reshaped part of the temple itself.
-
He can change objects but I don't think bushes would be able to grow in the temple..
-
Correct! But, I'll let it slide this time...
-
Doin't forget to post in IC roleplay Noname..
-
I will, but I don't see an opening yet.
-
Why did you contradict a previous post?
"but they could only sustain it long enough for one party member to get through"
-
I'll edit it.. I didn't see that it could only hold one..
-
Ok. Great. Isla can still do things from her side, though, and the field will fall soon enough.
-
Thanks I've made the necessary adjustments..
-
What do you think of this RP?
-
Its pretty good. one liners can make a good rp.. if they are informative oneliners..
-
Many of my posts have been much longer than that, though, especially recent ones.
-
Yes You have a makings of a very good rper.. do you have plan for after they recover the statue?
-
This part is only the beginning. I will give a bit of foreshadowing at the deeper plot soon.
-
It took 150 pages to get to this point.. :p
-
I know; I might have to make a spin off or a sequel...
-
"More Fantasy Roleplaying? :lol: That was snark.. :)
-
It may be a generic title... but so was "Star Wars..."
-
Star Wars grossed 463 million in 1977.. and we still are living with Star Wars related stuff today..
-
What did you think of that climactic post? The one that measured the paces?
And that "Star Wars" reference was JUST making a comparison to the TITLE, not the actual movie itself.
-
I liiked it, I'm a literal guy, as you can tell.
-
Did I miss anyone in the "congratulations" post of the archmage?
-
I don't think so.. you covered just about everyone..
-
That's good to hear. If I forgot someone, I'll go back and edit it.
EDIT: And I did; I added Kravik and Sivar to the list (Kor's characters.)
-
What is the good news the mage was talking about?
-
I will change it if you don't approve of it, but... I was planning on Isla getting the news from her father that the one she wanted to make with wants to marry HER!
-
Thats fine.. In fact it works out perfectly, there will be a copule scenes between Isla and Minna, they wil happen in Minnas room at the castle..
-
Okay. Rhiga will join Minna and Isla... they can have a "girl party" or whatever; the others need to go home or have some time alone.
EDIT: Adykon and Vaeri will join them later.
-
Thats fine..
-
What did you think of that climactic scene, with the "paces"?
-
It was very well done.. oh And you forgot Selturma.. Are you going to have cpome to the party or head home?
-
She is with Rex, but I will have her sneak up on him... it is a surprise...
-
Alright.. I'll have the girls enjoy themselves at the party... minna and Isla .. even "more" so.
-
... you do that. I'll keep Rhiga out of that. Maybe she can seduce a servant or something...
-
Yes, I'll have a couple servants on her "back and call.."
-
That's good. The first night, Rhiga will be too tired to steal anything.
-
As you might expect.. She will still "case" the place..
-
You mean scout it out for stealing?
-
Yes, when she has the energy of course..
-
Plot twist!
-
Is is that Arcantis' ghost or the spirit of Ea himself?
-
Neither. It will be a long time before anyone learns who or what that really is.
-
Seems like I missed a lot.
-
You did, but it is nothing that your characters cannot make up for; the story is NOT over yet... not by a long-shot!
-
You can catch up. You didn't miss anything TOO important
-
Only... the end of the first story arc! :lol Sorry. The plot continues, though.
If this were Dragon Ball Z, we would be at the point where Nappa And Vegeta were defeated.
-
Don't follow DBZ so I missed the reference ;)
-
Oh. It means nowhere near done.
And on another note... I want to avoid what would be... too uncouth here, so could you please let those "pleasure servants" be masseurs or something? I want Rhiga to be able to really seduce one, not just to be "served" by one.
-
Certainly.. I'm nothing if not flexible..
-
Ok. Thanks. I don't want anyone getting the wrong ideas here... it would be a real pity for the RP to run into trouble after 165+ pages.
-
you're treading on very rare ground. this is only the 2nd role play that has reached this length..
-
Well, thanks for letting me know... it will probably go on much longer, at this rate; the story is nowhere near finished, as I've envisioned it.
-
so whats the goal ? 350?
-
No goal; I'm just letting the story go on as long as it will work for.
-
Well, if you don't have a set goal, it will evebtually run out of gas..
-
Hello:
I think the goal should be to make this rpg the longest fantasy rpg involving Dracons ever in GoF!!! :smile
-
It already is... it is the ONLY RP involving Dracons on the GoF :lol :lol
-
302 pages will make it the longest rp ever in GOF
-
302 pages?! :blink: :blink: We have a long way to go... We can do it!
-
well, i think the Ic may end up being around 200 pages..
-
That is still not as long as that! :blink:
Still, it is cool!
-
yeah. they keep getting longer..more detailed, more mature, more dangerous.. and I keep doing them..
-
Sounds good, though; they are supposed to improve over time.
-
they've been popular, and I've got good rpers rping with me..
-
I will become more active with Taranis... and maybe some new characters...
-
I like the fact he's talking to himself and arguing with the narrator, and promised Emporor Tachyon- esque tidy salary and competitive benefits package ' to any minion he can find :DD
-
Is this "Emperor Tachyon" from that Ratchet and Clank game?
-
Yep.., It was the first RAC game I had ever played, and I really liked it
-
I've played some games in that series... but that was a while back...
And I've never played that one. To be honest, the idea for the "evil-but-great job benefits" came from the character "Hank Scorpio" from the Simpsons.
-
When he took over the eAst coast and got homer the DEnver Bronos- the year they upset the Packers to win SB 32.
-
Right. And to think that that episode showed them tripping over their own shoelaces as they practiced on the Simpson's front lawn.
-
they had sucked for a long time, that was the joke.. he wanted the best team, he got the worst..
-
You know what's odd; Scorpio conquered the East Coast... but Denver is far to the West.
-
Yeah you would think he'd get the Washington Redskins or maybe the NY jets
-
Heh. The Jets... Homer can have em! :lol
-
yeah, they've been bad.. :)
-
I'm not sure. I'm totally at a loss as to what happened.
-
We got to the atifact touching it lowered a barrier a bad guy came up who turned out to be the guy who hiredd them to do the job, took the artifact and ran off with him. they chaased him to a city wheere was a climatic clkash between him and Adykon.
-
I see. Guess my chars didn't do much during all that. Not sure if I"ll be very active the wya there can be so many pages between a post of mine and the next time I"m on the rp.
-
You could just have them go back to their temple... and they can be picked up there... if you want, that is.
-
Yeah We're gonna need them in the next part..
-
The Dracons don't call their hands paws... they have fingers like humans do... and, while you are obviously entitled to type it for your characters... it makes it kind of... odd. I'm not trying to run some sort of RP from an odd subculture.
-
Sorry, I'll change it. Its just that most of the characters I roleplay with , do have paws..
-
Uh... about that "male part addition" :blink: :blink:
I don't want to frighten others away from the RP... Metadude is freaking out!
-
Sure, I'll strike that part out..
-
Thank you. I'm sorry if it seems restrictive, illiberal or... whatever. I saw emoticons that I didn't even know MSN even HAD...
-
WTF would save a lot of emoticons.. I"ll keep the .. descriptiveness to a minimum..
-
Ok, that is good.
-
Yeah I doon't want to drive people off.. but I like being descriptive.. I'm good at it.. but I understand if meta doesn't like it. I'll stop for his sake, and leave abt further encounters strictly to implication.
-
That is good; he is only 14, remember!
-
Yeah.. that is true..
-
Any way it m,morning and the next part of thee adventure begins.. rhiga looks like she has found someone special..
-
Maybe...
I've noticed... there a LOT of caressing in these activities (the big RP, three-word-story, probably some other stuff I missed.) Odd.
-
yeah, we probably should steer away from that..
-
I'm not sure, I'm totally lost as to what is going on.
-
lets just say thers lots of fooling aroubd.. the next part of the story is about to begin..
-
Uh... about that "male part addition" :blink: :blink:
I don't want to frighten others away from the RP... Metadude is freaking out!
i didn't freak out, i just thought it was sort of gross
-
Well, I remoived it so no harm done..
-
So will the rest continue in the thread or will it start a new rp thread?
I"m pretty lost as to what is going on. I've no read idea what is going on since my last post. To many pages to read to catch up on.
-
It will continue in this thread... but you don't need to worry too much about catching up; you can just say that your characters went home and will be ready to return later.
-
Hey nick. when ever noname isn't on to respond to your chars, would you like to control Sasha so the rp can continue while he is away???
-
She, then when he comes back,. I'll relinquish them..
-
ok, np
do u want to rp now??? he isn't here at the moment
-
sure..
-
Something bad is going to happen to Rhiga on her wedding day... heh.
-
let me guess.. she gets busted for stealing.."
-
No... much worse... but it is related to that somehow...
-
Don't tell me you are going to kill her off? :( Can't we have her put in prison or something..
-
No, not kill her... she will be in trouble though...
And it is a good sign to see other people concerned about characters which aren't their own... ;)
-
Then that is a relief. she is well-fleshed out character.. 'Why don't we have he put in prison for her past crimes , back in Hekaga..
-
It will be a prison, of a sort... her old city will be mentioned, but she isn't going to be confined there... I'm thinking of something much more... fantastical.
-
interesting..
-
I did point out that most females were illiterate, right?
-
You implied that Rhiga could read and write, so I went off of that..
-
True, SHE can, but few others can...
-
That is true.. We'll kjust say in most cases the preist signs for both..
-
That is true; only about half of Dracon males are literate... maybe a bit more than half... although the ones who marry can usually read and write, or at least, sign their name.
-
Who is speaking in that last post of yours? I don't see anyone's name.
-
Now I'm curious about this "Punishment" RHiga is going to endure..
-
It isn't original, but it IS rather cruel... I hope it doesn't qualify as a "women in refrigerators" kind of bad... okay, it isn't like that... she lives, she isn't crushed, and she isn't crippled either... but it is horrible to imagine, although it isn't really my idea... if you've seen enough movies, you have seen something kinda like this before.
-
So she is tortured then.. or at least put in a very small space..
-
Oh, not a small space... but she won't like it...
-
I was planning to have the lord of the castle upon hearing of her crime, show them mercy.. and grant them a couple days together before Rhiga begins her sentence, will that be alright..
-
That would throw everything off...WAY off.
-
Stratch that then.. showing no mercy then..
-
No lord at all, even. I will be the one to have my own character be captured... but it will still remain dark and mysterious for a long time...
-
Its not very mysterious when you mention Arcantus' spirit..
-
He isn't the one behind this. That was a false lead; an intentional misdirection.
-
a feint then, as is battle.. well done..
-
Thanks. I will tell you this, though... Arcantas fell and hit the ground. He died. This isn't the end of his part of the story, though.
-
Well he did fall 200 feet. so unless he was more than mortal in some way.. yeah he's dead..
-
I said he was dead. He died from that, and there was a release of energy from his death.
-
Okay.. that makes sense..
-
not sure if I can be in any more since it feels like I've missed that last 3-5 chapters of a serial and the next part follows assuming you've seen the last 5 chapters previous. I'm at a total loss what the [censored] is going on and everything.
-
If you want them to join in again, just have your characters appear at a temple or something; they can easily be re-integrated back into the story.
Don't worry about it so much, Kor.
-
this, punishment sounds interesting. having an extremely happy wedding then.....you get punished, that would suck.
Sounds interesting though
-
She won't even get the wedding... not really.
-
okay
-
Are Marcus's chambers in his house?
-
Thats overkill.. imo. but shes your character.
-
What's overkill?
-
over kill is when you overdo something
-
I know what "overkill" is! I meant, what am I doing that is considered "overkill?"
-
by not even allowing her to get maried even breifly.. but it does build sympathy and empathy for her though
-
If I let her get married now, I could not give her the REAL marriage later... if there will even be one... I have a VERY nasty set of surprises coming up...
-
I will have marcus remain loyal to her though.. so if theres to be a happy endiing for these two, it will have to be after much sacrifice..
-
That's good. Just be prepared for a sudden... attack.
Does Marcus have any combat abilities?
-
Yes he does.. He's a very good archer..
-
Okay... how did a very good archer end up as a masseur?
-
Archery doesn't pay, so he took up back-rubbing...
-
that makes sense, if he couldn't earn money with archery, he took up a job as a masseur to actually earn money.....good thinking
-
Males get paid more to do that than females do... much more; it is rare for males to want to do that, and many females would pay (or get their husbands to pay) for a massage by a male, rather than another female.
-
Plot twist in the RP, if you checked!
-
so his wife is alive, or is this just a tricjk on the part of the mysterious intruder?
-
You will see over time... how do you know that the intruder was bad? Will his "wife" have the same scent? The same movement? The same retinas?
-
Hello:
Maybe she will, maybe she is really Arianne. And maybe I do really to say the name of who attack them both, the one Eriol is pursuing :blink: .
-
Nick, you might want to cut out the word "raped", as it may not be appropriate here :(
Still, you are an admin, so I will leave that up to you... (I don't think I really have a choice in that)
-
well, ids what happened in many cases to women prisoners to history, such as Joan or Arxc.. but I'll clean it up..
-
That's good... I don't want this to be TOO rated... thanks!
-
Understandable.. but this does create a great dilemma for my characters.. :)
-
Well, that's the point. Where's the drama if there is not a problem with it?
-
Very true, I an not having ilsa make mInna promise to thier relations strictly friendly..
-
You can do what you want with your characters... its just that, if anyone else finds out... :cry2 :blink: :( :bang :x
-
yeah, and judging by your bad guys reaction, he's going to expose them in some way..
-
He will try... I won't have him succeed unless you give it your okay... of course, I am NOT doing this with the intent to kill a character...
-
He can try, and the reactionof the family will be to rally around thier daughters..such is the nature of tragedies
-
You know that it is a taboo in their society; a male noble would much rather send a daughter of his to her doom than to risk dragging down his entire family name...
-
Another option besides execution is permanent exile, is which the offender's priperty is taken, and their name is hushed. Not quite Damnio memorandie, but very close.. the offender is barred from returning on pain of immediate execution..
-
I suppose that his daughter could pretend to be killed, or a story could be made up that her father killed her in rage over her unnatural actions... that would pass...
-
That could work. and they would smuggle he out. she would be spared, and given a small percentage of her her former income to live on.. in exchange, she would change her name, and begin a new life elsewhere..
-
That would work, yes... she would have to be careful not to reveal her true past though... and unless she was really stupid, she would have to abstain from any future... "activities" of that sort.
-
Yes.. She might even become a noble again via marriage. although her husband woulfd never know of her 'past'..
-
That is okay; if the husband is just looking for love and not a political marriage, he doesn't need to know that much of her past.
-
Tuxedo? This isn't a modern human setting. Even if it were a medieval human setting, there wouldn't be a tuxedo.
-
' I'll change that to suit then..
-
That works. "Suit" can mean a lot of things from different time periods and cultures... wouldn't it be odd to see a knight in the middle ages wearing a tuxedo?
-
Tux is relatively modern, a suit goes back much farther..
-
That is correct. A "suit" could even refer to a toga or a tunic or something from ancient/medieval times...
-
Rhiga will be wearing a dress right?
-
No, females wear more expensive tops and loincloths, plus jewelry and makeup. She might be given bracelets, anklets, and some other stuff as well.
-
Alright, eyeshadow lipstick, stuff like that
-
Since Rhiga is my character, I'll be the one who worries about what she looks like. Adykon and Vaeri will attend as well.
-
Naturally, since Rhiga is her daughter
-
Hello:
It sounds good, can my characters go to the wedding as well?
-
Yes, of course! It would be a good chance for them to meet... well, you know... I think we all know who Eriol met...
-
Hello:
Then it is awesome! I hope pur characters can agther again as Eriol took a different path... but I bet that to make my characters go there will be easy :smile .
-
We can have them all meet, if that is what you want...
-
yes they can attend.. the more the better..
-
Hello:
Then it is awesome, Eriol and Arianne should be going to the city... to try to find a place to buy Arianne some new clothing. Some other characters may seen mine in the city and tell them the news.
-
I will have them contacted by means of a spell...
-
If there was a conflict in the naming of the archmage(s), I will correct it as soon as I can.
-
the Female is Rhanga, what was the male's name?
-
I don't know if I named him... and since he is dead, I don't know if it is necessary... still, I might make his wife mention is name at one point.
-
every charasacter deserves a name, even in passing..
-
I'll give him one, when he is mentioned again... which won't be for a while...
-
should have given him one earlier, oh well..you can mention him, when thery meet up with his widow..
-
All that plot development, and all you can think of is the namelessness of a minor character?
I had intended for them to be sort of like the nameless "rainbowfaces"...
-
The plot development is great.. I'm seeing the pieces falling into place.. i just like having names associated with characters.. but thats just personal perferance.. enough of that.. kep up the good work..
-
I plan to throw a major wrench into everything soon... but it will be recovered from... in fact, at least two wrenches...
-
you've been hinting at it for awhile..
-
Keep in mind that not everyone on the bad side shares the same motives... I have also yet to explain what this organization is... it is so mysterious that not even those two archmages knew of it... then again, those two only served to guard that statue...
-
I expect back-stabbing,., double-crossing, and maybe temporary allance between one of the bad guys and the good guys against the greater evil.. think WW2
-
Well, there will be at least one back-stab...
I have only scratched the surface of that evil presence; his existence is know to but a few, and all who know of it outside of his circle oppose it... those kobolds who were living in that tower don't know, and probably could not comprehend what he is...
-
and that is intentionaal, granted they couldn't have done anything to him anyway if they knew..
-
Right. The party will eventually be in for a nasty surprise... actually, a whole long set of nasty surprises... which will hurt them... a lot.
-
lots of deeeply held secrets revealed, oh and adrianna is a trick played by that bad guy who enteed Erriol's room..
-
That may or may not be so... it could be that she is real... maybe she will turn on him if the bad guys attack!
That may tell us her true loyalties...
-
I'm still not fully convinced. His wife has been dead for years and miraculously after he has a night visitor, he suddenly find her staying at his hotel..
-
There is a connection, but it is not what you many think. There is more than one side manipulating events... some sides are good, others are bad. So far, we have seen the bad, and a neutral side (the two archmages), but we have yet to see the truly good operating behind the scenes...
-
Well, then I will wait for the good powers to reveal themselves..
-
You will also see the return of a mysterious gray figure... whenever Chiletrek is back on line, that is.
-
iIsn't raising the dead forbidden in this world? it usually is..
-
The question you should be asking is "Did she really die?"
Raising the dead is very rare in this setting; I can tell you for sure that I will NOT be doing that to any characters who die, as things stand.
-
When you pose it that way, my answer is, probably not, he just believed she was dead..
-
We will need to hear her story first... about what happened... that's Chiletrek's department, more than anything...
I'm not going to reveal anything here, nor am I going to say much for sure...
-
Fair enough. btw with 2 more posts you're going to reach the top 10.
-
Wow, that soon! That is good... now to increase post quality as well as quantity... I've shown that I can make some really long posts, on occassion...
-
Nick, did you and Metadude post chracter information in the thread under random roleplay?
-
In regards to my characters here? I don't think so.. I'll have to check to be sure..
-
Whatever you want is perfectly okay; I was just wondering... I never said that anyone HAD to have a character profile posted...
-
I think I did post a profile in here, about page 5 or so, for Ilsa..
-
That's cool. I might add a some new characters, if any new ones of mine should become important ones, that is.
-
Just Giving you notive noname that I'll be out of town this weekend, so I'll miss a few days of posting.. see you guys on Sunday!
-
That's okay. See you on Sunday! As for me... I will be busier in July and August... I will still be able to post, but may not be on quite as often...
-
When the wedding is held, the plot will move along rapidly...
-
yay!!! :DD
-
Yes.. that wil be nice. we're approaching 200 pages..
-
indeed, we need two more pages then......200!!!
-
The events at the wedding will essentially start a new quest...
-
Sounds nice...I look forward to it..
-
me too!!! i can't wait to see what happens!!!
-
meta we can't have jake drinking alcohol at his age.. so I've had the guards throw him in a cell for a bit..
-
Good idea, Nick... I don't want anyone getting the wrong messages... a 15 year old drinking... :x
-
I'm back! Sorry for the delay. My internet was down for some time due to a storm.
-
Hello:
It is ok, it is nice that the problem was solved and you are back online again :DD .
-
Things will get a lot darker now... once more players are online, that is.
-
We should also increase the length of our posts... I know that this is not easy for you, Metadude, but we should increase them to match the average length of a post on most other RPs on this forum...
If you want to lengthen your post, metadude, a good way is to increase the description. If a character is tired, mention it, for instance, or if a character is stretching, say so... for example, "Selturma stretched her young body, letting out a sigh as she did so..." then add some speech... and maybe another description of where they are ,what time it is, or what the condition of the characters are; "... but Adykon still felt sick", for instance.
-
Try and apare as many of the guests as possible. there are only a few person Arcantas and his master are after, I presume..
-
Only nameless guests are being killed, and then, only those who are in the way of party members.
-
Understood...
-
I will post soon enough... once I determine WHAT is heading through the portal.
-
Alrigght, and sorry about putting her into a desert, i thought a dark inhospitable, barren desert would be a nice place to put Rhiga as a punishment.. and as a good descriptive section, but since you've already got this thing planned out i'll defer to you
-
okay, i will try.......
-
Her punishment is much, much worse... she will be BEGGING for a desert...
-
PoK, It will be interesting to see what you have planned..
-
Hello:
Interesting, and spooky, if I may add. I don't know what Noname is up to, but it seems things will only get worse, so maybe we should prepare ourselves. :blink:
-
So what exactly did he do to Rhiga?
-
It was a fake. The real one... you will have to see...
-
I see.. But the idea you had was very good.. :)
-
so what's happening to rhiga at the moment (' ')
-
You will find out in time...
-
teaser! :lol:
-
I already explained that she was in a bad place...
-
I guess we'll just have to see HOW bad a place..
-
Hello:
Maybe she is in a dark place, tied up and been forced to hear Rick Astley's "never gonna give you up" song :blink: .
I may really need to know how and why those jokes began appearing and spreading.
As for the rpg, Keep it up, Noname!.
-
heh, teaser. it must be a very bad place then...
-
Actually "Never gonna give you up" isn't THAt bad, now anything by the Spice Girls :x
-
It has a metal door in it... and there is a light beyond that door.
-
Yeah, I just had a servant comme downn with a glass of water, an d make some rabndom threats..
-
Hello:
Whatever plans Arcantas (or his boss) can have, I hope they'll be stopped before more damage can be done.
-
We now have over 20000 views for the RP!
-
it would suck to be rhiga, being fed through your skin and having all of the energy drained out.....that is evil, but a good part of the plot
-
At least She's not being brutallt tortured, like having her mouth sewn shut and her claws ripped out..
-
that would suck for her if that happened......although there is one torture i've heard about.....it's very horrible.........so horrible i shouldn't post it up on this forum!.........................wedgie! lol fooled you!
-
Ultimately its up to Noname
-
Unless it is graphic, you can probably post a torture...
And speaking of graphic...
Are you two (Nick22 and metadude) SURE you want to keep that underage, inter-species scene doing you-know-what? Metadude said on MSN that he didn't want to do it... but he appeared to change his mind... if you two talked about this and are 100% comfortable with it, that is fine...
-
it does not matter to me what happens
-
well, he was ok with it in pms.. and as you know Noname i am comfortable with pretty much anything, within reason.. I'm not going to have anything come out of that..its a one night stand sort of thing..experienced and then forgotten..
-
There might be repercussions down the road... just saying... not for you or metadude, of course...
-
I understand.. I could clean it up a bit,, so its less graphic.. although I'm the only admin who regularly visits the rp section..
-
Do what you want... you're the admin here, not me.
-
It is your roleplay though.. I don't wanbt to ruin it for you guys.. so I'll clean it up a bit, and we'll move on..
-
I don't think that Celina can be taken on the quest to save Rhiga... she has no powers, and if she was there, she would probably be killed in a gruesome manner :confused
But, I will give her a kind of a good end to her part in the story... she was nothing more than a side character, really... you mind if I turn her into a hierodule at one point?
-
how would celina be killed, if i may ask...and yes i know because she has no powers, i was wondering how she would die?
-
I probably won't have her killed, just made into a heirodule, where her insanely powerful urges could finally be put to good use.
-
okay
-
They are not meeting the priest until the next day, Nick, I had already mentioned that at least once... you should edit your post a bit to make Revenus or whatever his name is to be a mage, not a priest...
I need to have more male Dracons, so I and only I will control that priest... which they did not meet yet.
-
Alright I'll revise that post.. and what is a heordule anyway?
-
i have one question, i have no idea in what my chars could do to help out, Jake' alchemy skills won't do much except change his arm and make a protective wall that lasts 30 seconds...i have no clue as what to do...
-
In this context, a hierodule is a female who lives at a temple who mates with the parishoners (those who visit the temple) to breed with them... and nothing involving money occurs with them.
-
so they mate for pleasure.. I guess we could have her try that.. if the position at Minna's palace doesn't work out.. if her secret isn't revealed that is..
-
Jake and Celinas secret possibly might get out.....eventually that is
-
in that case, the king will probably order both be sent into slavery, the king won;t tolerate that sort of messing around..
-
Dracons don't mind that sort of behavior if it is kept between the members of the same species... in any case, it it Celina who will REALLY suffer for it, if she is the one found to be the one who initiated it... still, she should probably just be forced to be a hierodule or something when she is an adult... as a solution to her problem... after all, her extreme urges could be channeled to the use of a temple if she is sent there...
-
That is true however the king is a bit of an odd duck, as the saying goes, he's paranoid and ruthless..
-
I'm already planning on killing quite a few characters... I don't need Celina to be added to what is sure to be a huge pile of dead... I will introduce new ones to make up for the losses...
-
I'm not bringing her along, shes staying back at the castle with the oother servants..
-
Good. No need to risk her, then.
-
Jake Rexa Sasha and Selturma sre coming then?
-
Yes, if metadude says they are... which I'm sure he will!
-
of course my chars will come
-
What about Sasha? Is she coming too? I only see Jake and Rex...
-
Sasha might be coming....i haven't really givin' it much thought, she might come or she may not....i haven't decided yet
-
Whatever you choose is fine by me, metadude...
-
that's good...btw, what about the youths schooling? Jake, Rex, Selturma and Sasha need their schooling
-
They can take a break if they go adventuring... let's just say that a long holiday is coming up soon so they wouldn't miss much...
-
alright ^^
-
I may be slow in my MSN/GoF scheduale for a few days... computer issues... I am sorry... :(
-
Hello:
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope the problems will be fixed soon.
-
I'm trying to fix it as fast as I can... It really, really sucks!
-
We'll make do as best we can..
-
I'll still be here as often as I can be... my computer might be sent to Best Buy for repairs... but I have access to another computer at times of the day...
-
Lets have an update on whats happening to Rhiga.. we should create a real sense of urgency..
-
okay. I will make an update on her now, but it might be a while before I can follow up on it...
-
Its alright, we'll focus on our rescue party for now..
-
That's good. It may take longer to get them all together, what with my computer issues...
-
This break will allow me to catch up with my other rps..
-
Well, at least some good came out of it... hopefully, when this is all over, my computer will be running faster than it was before...
-
Hello:
I hope so Noname.
I am glad that Nick is able to catch up in the other rpgs, as for me, I don't have much to catch up in the other rpgs because their activity went down to zero.... I hope that will change soon.
-
My computer should be back online within 2-3 days... until then, things will be slow for me.
-
that's a bummer......oh well at least your pc should be faster when it's fixed ^^
-
Thanks for all the well wishes! :)
-
Noname, when are you going to post some stuff on rhiga in the rp? she hasn't had any dialogue or cut scenes for a while......i know that it's your rp and you decide what goes on, i was just suggesting that you add in some dialogue/cut scenes for rhiga
-
It is hard to add such scenes at the moment... much of what I am typing comes from my palm pilot, and typing the long scenes with Rhiga that I have planned is not easy... at the moment.
-
POstg them, whenever you cam, we'd beter get the rrescue group moving..
-
The group is on the move now...
-
okay, sorry...i was just wonderin' when the next cutscene post would come up
-
Maybe tomorrow, IF my computer is fixed and stays fixed...
-
okay cool ^^, let's hope your computer doesn't crash ^^
-
It should have the virus removed, and it should STAY removed...
-
I betting its going to be pity-enducing for Rhiga..
-
let's hope so ^^, but if it isn't....*pulls out a shotgun* (jokes)
-
poor rhiga, torture.......for 3-4 weeks!!!
-
a month is nothing try years of the horror..
-
that would supremely suck for rhiga if she had to endure torture for years
-
I can guarantee you that she won't suffer for years...
-
I know, but just putting things inrto perspective..
-
good idea, Nick... I hope that my computer will be fixed, so that tomorrow, I can post a lot more... than again, I am already posting a lot today...
-
Hello:
That is true, Ihope I'll be able to stay connected as I am right now too.
-
Well, I am online for now, at least...
-
Hello:
That is a good omen, I hope you'll be able to remain connected if you can, but maybe you should not overdo your pc :D .
But I admit that virus was extra nasty with you.
-
Indeed it was... I'm sure that this mess will have to be resolved eventually...
-
if the virus stays with your computer, try checking through all the files on your computer, some will be infected. the ones that are infected, delete them
-
The virus prevented me from opening up any programs or files...
-
okay...that really sucks for you, if you could open up your drive you could have deleted infected files and it would save you lots of $$$
-
I am getting windows reinstalled... THAT will eliminate all programs that did not come with the computer...
-
okay
-
finally! i finished my pic of Jake using paint!!! Jake (http://metadude1234.deviantart.com/art/Fantasy-Roleplayer-Jake-129298145)
it's not the best....but it's what i intended him to look like
-
Some lines seem to be missing... a long conversation with Eriol, Arianne, and later, Vaeri...
-
okay, btw....what did ya think of my pic?
-
It was good.
-
Did a large block of text get deleted from the RP? I cannot seem to find a section with Eriol, Arianne, and Vaeri... they were having a long chat, and Eriol as asleep much of the time.
-
Never mind... I found it...
-
Hello:
I just saw Metadude's pic of Jake. Is a nice pic indeed, well done Metadude :yes . Maybe eventually you'll get to learn other programs and do better and better pics :smile .
Edited posting, sorry for the confussion Noname.
-
Who, me? I know that Metadude did a great job...
-
thanks ^^
-
yeah its a nice pic.. I can't draw worth a lick myself...
-
if you practice drawing, you'll get better at it
-
it has to do with my fine motor skills, they are quite limited, those includes the ability to draw or play the piano..
-
I might make maps of some of the RP locations... not to scale...
-
okey dokey
-
Hello:
That would come in handy. Keep it up!
-
Jake :*thinking.......I like chocolate....*
Jake's Mind: *you are an idiot......*
-
so when are we going to get updates on what is happening to Rhiga?
-
Soon... I had planned to make one, but I am busy at the moment... I also want to get past the re-introduction of Akito too... but soon... expect a post with Rhiga in a day or two...
-
Alright... I'm looking forward to it..
-
New post on Rhiga... but more information on her is still to come in later posts...
-
so this is just a teaser then...
-
A bit of information to bridge the gap between long-term posts on her...
-
So how close are they to Rhiga's position now?
-
They are in the same general location (the same valley), but she is on the other side of it... and deep underground.
-
Well, I think its time to allow themm enterance into the lair
-
Which lair? The village that the party is currently in, or the place where Rhiga is being held? Keep in mind that I have a plan for this... a LOT of things will happen before Rhiga is freed.
-
I meant whgere Rhiga is being held, but since you hacve a plan.. I'll lewt it play out..
-
I'll give you a hint... at least one member in the party will die before this story arc is over.
-
so theres going to be sacrifice then.. interestesting..
-
if you want to call it that, sure.
-
So is there going to be a choice in which characters are " Sacrificed"
-
I have it worked out already... it won't affect your characters directly...
-
alright.. I'm looking forward to it.. you're a good roleplayer Noname
-
Thanks for saying so! :)
I hope to start another RP set in the same universe at some time... in the future... maybe in a few months...
-
I'll keep the same characters ..develop threm a bit more..
-
You can do that, sure. The idea for the new RP (still months and months away!) will be narrated from the point of view of the upper class at times... your characters can fit in easily.
-
Good. I'bve got some good idea percolating in my head..
-
I've got to contact Starfallraptor about his seven characters... I need to see what each one of them is doing...
-
How many of them are boys and how many are girls?
-
Not sure... I think 4 guys 2 girls, plus Akito...
-
alright. I just have to get a grasp of who's who. they're not related to Aito are they?
-
You'd have to ask StarfallRaptor...
-
so meta says his availability is going to be limited...
-
yes....very limited
-
why are you going to be limited meta?
-
mum canceled our net....-_-
-
oh right. Now I remember.. :bang
-
Hopefully, it is a situation which can be corrected or resolved...
-
i'll try to get on a computer from time to time
-
you could try your local library..
-
I'm not sure how well that would work in Australia... metadude would know more about that than I... especially in such an isolated part of Australia...
-
so hes from Australia.. wow...
-
You can click on his name on the GoF to see his profile... it's not like that information is secret or anything... he chose to post it with the knowledge that others could read it...
-
Well I didn't know that, as I don't check people profiles all that much..
-
oh. ok. In a day or so (or a week), I'll be making a new role play discussion topic about a new RP for the future, in the same setting...
-
Alright Will be looking forward to it..
-
I will be using maps on it... and adding maps on the current RP...
-
How much longer do you think the current rp woill go on?
-
For a long, long time... as long as I can keep the players interested, and as long as the GoF will allow a thread to go on for... and if there has to be a break in the thread, I can always make a sequel or a "part 2."
-
How about after Rhiga is rescued and the evil forces are defeated that we start part 2 in earnest?
-
There isn't a clear break between one part and another... it probably makes more sense to keep it in one part... unless there is a limit to how many pages a thread can have.
-
there isn't. we've had games go for thousands of pages..But I don't think having a roleplay go 1000 pages is necessarily a good thing..
-
If it is the same number of pages anyway, I don't see why it would make a huge difference... all it would do is to have two threads hold what one could contain.
-
well, I do think we should have a goal.. say the roleplay goes for 500 pages and comcluded. We ca tie up looose ends in the sequel..
-
... I am nowhere near done with the storyline... I haven't even revealed the villain, nor have things even gotten dramatic yet... not really. All of what you have seen so far is setup...this is no exaggeration.
-
so you have been setting things up that long? usually it doesn't take this long for things to be set up, even in a lengthy book.. But I'll rp with you as long as the story progresses.. I may have a couple more love scenes betwen Ilsa and Minna in the coming pages, when they are not struggling against the 'evil"..
-
Originally, the idea was for the story to have ended at the end of the "lost city" arc... but it became popular enough for me to add more... think of it more like a series of books, not just a single lengthy book... we'd be up to book 2 by now...
-
Soo do we go back and put "Book 2 somewhere in the pages after the LOst City finished up? I understand your thinking.. i was merely thinking that you could put stronger breaks between stories..
-
Well, I didn't make it to have strong breaks... it is still all one story... kind of like the lord of the rings is one whole story... and technically that big epic has six books, with two books per section... I thought that it was important to show that the characters have lives outside of the adventures... Jake goes to school, Marcus and Rhiga were to marry, social issues, etc.
-
And that is good.. It gives the characters more color and depth.. in the coming pages I may explain Why Minna and Ilsa feel the way they do..
-
About that... I don't want this RP to become a magnet for that sort of thing... Minna and Isla are like that, and I had to talk StarfallRaptor out of making another one thing of that kind... although my parts, metadude's parts, and Chiletrek's parts don't have an issue with that... I don't want this to turn into something it wasn't meant to be by any of the original players...
-
Understood.. I won't make that into an issue, the vast majority of my characters will be straight.. I will make it so it feeds into the story, yet doesn't distract from the original story..
-
Right. That's okay. I'm no homophobe or anything... but I don't want it to look like I am promoting that sort of behavior or making this into something inappropriate... Thanks for limiting it.
And, if the characters take it too far, we can always burn them! heh (joke)
-
Heh good one.. I won't have them publicly making out, that would cause tongues to wag, and well, both would come to a sticky end.. I understand you don't want to appear to condone such behavior..
-
The Dracons would kill them... they are not as tolerant as real-life people are... at least, real-life people in the western world tend to be... this sort of stuff gets one killed in Africa or the middle east... Just because I don't approve of it doesn't mean that others must be forced to obey my wishes, though...
-
I'm well aware of that of course, and as previously stated that they would face certain death.. Damie Memorie (sp) if they were caught..
-
Death and obliteration of their memory... yes. As well as a seizure of their assets...
-
Dangerous Liasions.. :) which is why I'm keeping it hush hush..
-
Right. So, if you have any plans for your characters, you can easily go ahead with them... as long as it doesn't mess anything up...
-
I will run it by you first, so we can figure out how to keep it within the story..
-
Good idea. Thanks for informing me...
-
Of course. You've had this idea for awhile. I don't want to drop in, start playing and in the process corrupt everything..
-
Here is an example of the kind of map I intend to use in this RP and some future ones...
I may need to refine it over time. (http://media.dandwiki.com/w/images/0/0a/Dracon_city_1.JPG)
-
Looks great.. you could have houses labeled for each of the characters if you so choose
-
This was a map made for the D&D wiki... no characters were made yet... as it is, this map shows a mid-sized town... or a small, small city... not the city where the characters live.
-
So the city where minna lives is much larger than this.. alright.. And Where Did I say Ilsa was from again?
-
I'm not sure... the two major cities mentioned in the RP are Minthebec and Hekaga... and of those two, only the former was actually seen. I plan on having all of the major cities shown in the RP at one time or another...
-
I'll go back in this thread and look
-
Hello:
This kind of map can prove to be very useful. I look forward to see more of them whenever you get the chance to create and/or edit Noname. Keep it up! :DD .
-
I may need to find a way to make the maps smaller... this one is quite large...
-
okay in my introduction of Ilsa.. I didn't list where she was from..
-
Is her palace in the same city as that of Minna? If so, she is from Minthebec.
-
No, it isn;t. its in another city. I'll have to go back to page 90 por thereabouts abd look..
-
Oh. Well, maybe you didn't state which city she was from at all?
-
No, I'm pretty sure I stated where she was from when I first introduced her..
-
"I came from the Darsuk region...following the ancient roads.. many of which have been forgotten today by all but a few" -- Isla said this.
I found this... is "Darsuk" a city or a region?
-
I believe it may have been both. I was intentionally vague..
-
Like New York is a city but also a state?
-
precisely.. there are three New Yorks in England as well
-
So... do you want to leave the location of Darsuk vague? If the party ever goes there, it will have to be given more details, but if it is left vague, that won't be necessary...
-
we could have them go there.. And I'd be glad to fill in the details..
-
That's good to hear... I can make a map of it, if you ever want... I'll need to know the details... but all that can come in time... no need to hurry...
-
Very well. Could you post something new in the rp, so we can move the group along?
-
I made the most recent post in the RP... unless I should post twice, it is now your turn, or whoever else wants to post there...
-
You can post again if you wish..
-
I posted... and I left room for anyone's characters to speak...
-
I responded to it.. basically Ilsa is ignoring Minna's tossing and turning..
-
If you are going to have the characters do something, you should make a post that is more than just one line. I know, some of my posts have been only one line too... but not many... I'm trying to improve the quality and length of the posts on the RP, not just add more and more of them... I can't keep adding filler for everything... and if I advanced the plot before you had a chance to make your characters DO something, I would be degrading the storyline...
-
I've got just the thing..
-
My characters are asleep at this time... until morning in the RP, the other players pretty much have a free hand... I'll try to add some filler here and there...
-
I may just have one of my love scenes now.. that will allow us to reach morning then..
-
... sigh... I was never very fond of that sort of thing in this RP... do you mind if the villains scry on them while they do that?
-
Sure.. and this will be the last one in this roleplay..
-
Right... if the villains learn of it, they will certainly use it against the two of them...
-
of course.. which makes it that much more interesting..
-
Arcantas is scrying on them now...
-
Just finisjhhed the love scene and posted it, and I tailored it to your post..
-
On second thought , I'll just have them talk about thier families instead and have Arcntas acquitre information that way.. Minna has a brother who owns a mine...
-
Hello:
I am just writing to report myself, I caught a flu so I am in bed, I just came here to tell you that I will not be able to post for today, sorry.
I hope tomorrow I will be able to... even though it is said that tomorrow will be the coldest day in my city :blink: .
-
That's okay... take your time... get better. I'll still be here when you get back... unless I also get sick! :lol:
-
Heh
i hope i don't miss much...
-
I hope so too, Metadude... if you can be on at least once a week, you probably won't fall too far behind...
-
i might be able to get on gof on thursdays at school :D
-
That's great! Hope to see you there on the RP!
-
Hello:
That would be awesome, at least you'll still be able to participate Metadude :) .
As for me, I am feeling better, I will try to get more active, but certain things are happening here so I'll do what I can.
-
I;m leaving on vaction tommorow. I'll be back on the 9th
-
i can also get on on friday afternoons
that is good that you are better Chiletrek
hope to see you when you get back nick
-
Good to hear.
-
If any of the players of the RP have ANY questions regarding the setting, including the Dracon race, you can ask me now. Just post any questions you may have on this thread.
-
Hello:
How is that Dracon village exists in the tribal stage of development? is that because of their isolation in that valley?
-
Because of the isolation, the lack of good land for building cities, and the fact that the local ruler of the valley (who is NOT the main villain, but works for him) wants to keep the natives living there backwards and primitive... that way, those tribes will pose little threat.
-
Hello there. Whats the plot of this rpg anyway?
-
The idea of the RPG is that characters are adventuring in a fantastic world, set in a vast land of deserts whose main inhabitants are called the Dracons... creatures made with humanoid and dragon essences. I can tell you a lot more if you want.
I also made this page with relevant information... http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_%284e_Race%29 (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dracon_%284e_Race%29)
-
This dracon female that just came into view. Its not Rhiga? right? Its some other Dracon archmage, right?
-
It is NOT Rhiga. I will reveal her name soon...
-
thats relieving.. Is she Arcantas's superior or something?
-
This female... you will have to find out... is it his wife? His sister? His superior? Some other female? Wait and see...
-
I'll the others chime in,before making my reply.. give them something to do.. the group is close to Rhiga right? Although they will have to fight to get her out..
-
They are still a good distance away from her... but are getting closer.
-
The RP will get more detailed now. If anyone wants me to give them a recap of events, I'll be happy to give it to you.
-
when will you post something on rhiga??? it's been a while...
-
I'm getting to her soon... I need to develop another character first, then cut back to her... I've got it all planned out... besides, I can only do so much with a naked female who is hanging from some tendrils...
-
np ^^
-
Okay, just as a clarification, Kuja and Akio are something of a "splinter cell" of the Dark Master's. They both technically serve him, but each is pursuing a different agenda, each irritated by their repeated lacks in advancing because of their races. Both are Fauxen. As such, they will often undermine the others by witholding information, such as the current fact that Kuja and Akio both know that an attack is coming, simply as a way to compensate for that fact.
Now that there is a stronger force against the Dark Master, they are beginning to act more overtly, planning to betray their master and attempt to get others to do the same. Starting with Asthia, since they both know her power and both respect her somewhat.
So, Kuja, who has a very close relationship with her "children", is planning on freeing them, partly as revenge, and partly as a way to lure her to the light side.
-
Keep Kuja back a bit... he can still work to free the children, but I have plans for Toby and Gerasia...
As for Asthia... I already know what I am going to do with her. Whether or not she goes to the light side will be a matter of interpretation...
-
looking forward to the battle..and hopefully reuniting rhiga and marcus..
-
Assuming that we all post enough, the battle should begin soon...
-
great.. i'll bring in marcus into it a bit..
-
That works. I'll also contact the other RP players... see if they can post a bit more... I know that metadude's internet access is very limited, so I can only expect so much from him...
-
hya everyone, i was just wondering if you guys think i should kill off Rex or Sasha.....
-
Oh NO! Please don't. I've got plans for the meantime which would be thrown off badly if that happened.
-
Oh NO! Please don't. I've got plans for the meantime which would be thrown off badly if that happened.
ok, no prob dude :lol:
-
Good to hear...
-
so are we still good for Jake to turn evil?
Evil Jake (http://www.aq.com/aw-character.asp?id=metadude1234)
-
Sure, in the next story arc.
-
Just a minor note but shouldn't this kind of discussion about the RPG be going on in the appropraite discussion thread instead of here? I passed this off as another idea entirely in my process of checking the RP discussions so I've missed whatever was said here.
-
This IS the appropriate discussion thread for it.
-
Vincent is right caustizer
-
Oh there are two Fanatsy RPs... my bad.
-
It's okay. It is an easy mistake to make.
-
I'm adding more characters to the RP in the future. If anyone wants to join, let me know.
-
when is the next story arc where jake also turns evil during the arc?
-
We are in that arc now. It is a side-arc to be sure. Jake can go evil soon, but there has to be a good reason for it, and he should be cured before leaving Hekaga. PM me if you have further questions. I'll be happy to answer them.
-
maybe something extremely disastrous could happen that could make Jake lean towards the evil side?
-
Such as? I was thinking he would be possessed by a demon or evil spirit... at least, those are possibilities.
-
i guess so but....i didn't really think of Jake turning evil because of a demon/spirit. I was think of something extremely bad happening like Sasha or someone close to him killed . It would make him turn
-
well, something bad happening to sasha would turn him..
-
it would turn him so quick he would even kill rex
-
it would make him mad, not necessarily turn him evil.. it would take time for him to do bad things..
-
it would make him feel extremely sad i guess....but then if he was offered a chance to bring her back...even if it meant turning evil he would do it..
Just like anakin skywalker from starwars episode 3 revenge of the sith when he turned to the dark side in hope that it would save padme
-
--
-
the problem meta, that its really difficult to revive the dead..
-
i meant for her death to be permanent. If he was offered a chance to bring her back by evil guys (them lying to him) he would accept their offer and he would eventually become very evil.
-
It takes more than killing someone to make another person evil. Vader was driven down that path for many reasons, including his pride, his feelings of being "held back", his childhood issues (he was raised as a slave and probably though of the relationship between people in terms of ownership) and the inability to save his mother in episode II.
Palapatine also made him think that the Jedi were traitors, which pushed him to kill them, in part.
-
i guess so....i never thought of those issues
-
It takes more than "OMG my parent/girlfriend/sibling/wife/friend/godparent/cat/dog died so I'm evil!" :lol
-
lol, but most people usually shut themselves off from the world once a loved one is lost....i know this isn't much but i wouldn't talk, eat, or even move when my pet rat casper died.....i was so depressed..i didn't eat for 2 days...and i hadn't spoken to anyone for 4-5 days....i felt like nothing and that the world was a cruel and dark place...
-
I wasn't like that when my GRANDMOTHER died. I wasn't left sad like that. Some people are affected by it in different ways.
-
oh i see.. well, are yougoing to kill her off.. and have jake become enraged with grief
-
We don't need another dead female... not so soon, at least. And we don't want to resort to killing characters to get the plot moving again.
-
yes there are other ways of moiving the plot along..
-
Of course... I will be getting to those in due time...
-
Hello, hello. I was asked to post my character here... so here you go:
Name: Eternion
Race: Dracon
Age: Not sure about a number yet, but he is very old.
Appearance: Eternion is colored a charcoal gray, with stripes of black running along his back and down his tail. His scales are dull and cracked with age, and many are missing or scarred. His horns are long, but twisted and bent with neglect and age. His left eye is almost completely blind, stained a milky white.
He walks and acts like you would expect an old man to, but is still quite agile and capable... he doesn't use a walking stick or anything like that.
Background: Eternion was born to a poor family, and thus his early life was a challenging one. He manage to educate himself through old books that told stories of adventurers and great warriors.
He wanted to become a fighter, make a life of his own. He received that chance when he met and saved the life of a young Dracon female named Almia.
She lived a rich life, but longed for more... and she saw this opportunity in this Dracon.
Inevitably, they left their homeland... seeking excitement and adventure. Their bond was one of friendship, not of love.
And so the years passed. The two did their duty, helping others, fighting evils of the land... and passing the years with thrills and excitement (and not to mention many close calls). Decades after they had set off, they returned home and settled down. The question turned to their future, and the possibility of hatchlings.
But it was not to be, Almia fell strangely ill, and died soon after... leaving Eternion stricken with grief and alone. Though the years had not done him well, he was still a great and capable warrior... and so he set off once more. Sadly, it was not the same without his companion of so many years, and so he fled his past as a warrior and settled into the city of Hekaga. The two Dracons had made use of temples many times in the past, and he decided it was time to pay them back as best he could.
He had spent most of his earnings, so he applied for a job as a caretaker.
And thus the years passed once more. Old memories of fame, glory and adventure faded away with each day until his life became more or less a routine.
-
Looks very good. If you can fit him in with the party, all is well! Also, what clothing/weapons/equipment does he have?
-
At the moment, he wears a simple blackened casual robe... tied at the waist with an old leather belt and divided at the back to let his tail through.
He obviously doesn't carry a weapon while at work... but at his house is his decades old two handed battle-axe "Decider", as well as the tattered full custom designed plate armor he once wore... though at his age it would be a miracle if he could wear it anymore... but you never know :lol
Also there is his companions sword "The guiding light", which is enchanted with a simple light spell... but it also gives off an odd, comforting feeling when Eternion holds it. Whether this is his own judgment or something else entirely...
-
Sounds good. His companion was Almia, right? And she is dead...
He and Adykon have something in common, then.
-
Hello:
And I am also glad that you joined the rpg, I hope you'll have a great time here... killing bad guys :smile .
-
Welcome Jittery. if you want Eternion to join up with the group, you're welcomre to do so.. let him have one last adventure..
-
Who says it has to be his last? :lol
Anyway, Eternion is fitting in well...
-
Getting a hand of this already... still a bit weird to me. Kinda trying to fill my posts a bit, I think I might do some more flashback style parts. The old fella has quite a few stories to tell.
Not sure about adding another character at the moment. I have a few ideas of having old friends of Eternion showing up. Having just one character does make it a bit difficult to move the story along. I kinda don't want to steal the thunder from the other characters... and considering how many there are at the moment.
Ah... and I forgot that Dracons didn't wear footwear, so the pic of the armor with metal boots was a bit of a mistake on my part :oops
So um... just assume he isn't wearing any footwear.
-
Just for the record, the reason Kyuichi hasn't been mentioned for a while is that he's going to turn dark. Or more or less, give in to his impulses.
As you can tell, I've made him out to be a git already, and from there, he'll just turn against the heroes. And side with Demoras.
As for Akio, I'll start going into his motives for his past soon...
-
That's fine. Take your time. The plot is a bit... held up due to Metadude not posting anything with his missing character lately... he used to post everyday, but now his internet access is limited. If he doesn't do anything soon, I and some others will have to control Jake, Rex, and Sasha for a time.
-
Look, guys i know that i can't just make jake walk into a castle and demand to become a knight. i'm not that stupid i know how to get a job in reality and walking right in won't work. the problem i am faced with is how jake will be able to communicate and become one of the princes knights.
any suggestions?
-
Jake is going to have to prove himself over time by doing evil things, and we're not talking pulling sasha's hair here, but serious bad stuff.. Maybe ask the prince if theres some people Jake could er ' eliminate' for him
-
Okay, that's a start .pin up a sign on the princes notice board 'assassin for hire'
-
:lol I was told to post my character bio here by Noname so here it is:
Name: Annette
Age: 22
Personality: She being a Mage, she tends to take her job very seriously and is willing to follow most of the rules set for her. She keeps to herself unless asked a direct question and she’s beyond willing to sell out those she sees as weak to get a leg up.
Appearance: She keeps her Orange/Red hair cut short and sports a pair of emerald green eyes. She generally wears a solid gold armored chest piece with a brown leather or tan skirt, which of course complimented by her crisp white cloak.
Weapons: The only weapons she carries are a broad sword and a simple wooden staff which she uses to cast most of her spells.
Background: Being the daughter of two wealthy nobles she’s rather fortunate but was willing to prove she could handle life on her own and struck out on her own to prove she could be better than both of her parents. Although she has yet to return home, she to this day has yet to stick a finger into her inheritance. After years of practice she is now considered a Noble in her own right and an Adept Mage, having helped others where she could and when it suited her own needs of course.
I hope this is enough info on her...if more is needed let me know. ;)
-
It's good! Very good details, I might add! You can have your character join at any time you want. Hope to see you there, GVG!
-
Alright, so there seems to be some confusion over Kuja and Akio's alignment. They were Asthia's followers, but had little to no loyalty to Demoras. They simply served the darkness in a bid for power. They have their own agendas, and will follow the side they see as being able to serve that Agenda. They now travel with the Heroes, fighting against Demoras, since that will aid them. Neither was ever evil. Though both do use some Dark-aligned magic...
-
Hello:
And thanks for the explanation, I was kinda confused too :wacko .
-
Trying to grab power by serving an evil side is evil in and of itself... same thing with using the good side to reach that end.
-
sorry i havn't been on much lately...i havn't had much time to go to the libary...
-
That's okay. I also see that you have started your crossover....
-
Alright, so...I'm planning on having Kyuichi Saionji switch sides. The fact is, he was always going to. I was thinking that, when he met the Dracon female, it was someone evil (Maybe the new sorceress that cursed Minna and Ilsa), and they played on a few of his psychological weaknesses to draw him to the darkness. Specifically, he has always been jealous of Touga, and as such, was easy to draw in with promises of power. Would that be alright?
-
That sounds good, I'm also thinking about Jake siding with demoras or who ever is evil
-

That's fine. Just make sure you explain what is going on and how it happens. It's cool.
-
ok...i think i screwed up big time with Jake turning evil...i have missed out on so much stuff that i HAVE caught up on but...i don't see the point in Jake switching sides or even continuing in this rp anymore because i have no idea what's been happening lately...soz..
-
You should keep him in. If you need me to, I will make a way to pull him out of trouble. If you cannot keep him in, I would be happy to take him over for you, or take him over long enough to put him back with the party and make him good again.
-
it would be too much trouble for you, besides i think i might be able to find a way to get him back in.
-
Sure. I welcome bringing him back in. Don't forget about Rex and Sasha either! :D
-
Hello:
Metadude, if you want to get back o the rpg in full glory, then I totally think it is possible. As what to do with Jake, maybe he wasn't evil at all, maybe he wanted to be separated from the others so he can deal with something pending... maybe something about his family? I don't know, it was just a suggestion :DD .
-
Oh, he was evil alright... :lol
-
I found a pic that looks more-or-less like what the Dracons look like. This is a picture of the Dragonborn from Dungeons and Dragons. It was suggested that the pic be cropped a bit, but, that was not as easy as I had once thought. It should be decent. Everything is covered... no worse than a bikini.
(http://media.dandwiki.com/w/images/8/8d/Dragonborn_Female.Jpg)
This is a a pic of a female Dragonborn, NOT made by me. Imagine a tail, more human-like skin, and a pale white belly and underside, remove the "hair", and you have a female Dracon.
-
Jake (http://www.aq.com/aw-character.asp?id=Metadude1234)
-
jake has spoken to a guard
-
I see. You'll have to take care of that part; it is a detour from the main plot, and I don't want to take more time away from the storyline. Feel free to make the guard respond as you will. I will control the prince of Hekaga when it is time for him to speak with Jake, but not much else.
-
Okay, np :D
-
Yeah. Glad to see you are still on board. :D
-
Hmm, since I think everyone involved will be seeing a lot more action in the near future, I suppose it would help to elaborate on how everyone fights. Hope nobody minds me using Final Fantasy job classes...
Akio: Assassin
Touga: Paladin
Utena: Dragoon
Miki: Blue Mage
Juri: Red Mage
Akito: Samurai
Kuja: Black Mage
-
It works. Thanks for the details. If you don't mind... hmm. Could you give us a bit of detail about each one's specific powers, for those of us unfamiliar with those classes? Thanks. :)
-
Sure thing, Noname!
Here goes:
Assassin: Uses twin short or long swords (Akio uses one of each) to deliver lethal blows from the shadows, as well as using darkness to wound and confuse foes.
Paladin: Bearing sword and shield, these stalwart champions of the light are not only talented with the arts of war, but also are masters of using holy magic to heal and protect allies
Dragoon: Masters of the polearm, Dragoons are often able to draw the opponent's power into themselves to restore their strength, as well as use devastating jumping strikes, descending from the heavens to smite foes.
Blue Mage: A master of the sword, their true strength lies in their ability to study and mimic an attack that foes use against them, turning it back on their enemies
Red Mage: Perhaps the most balanced of warriors, these formidable fighters are both able to use the offensive Black Magic, bending elements to their will, and heal allies with the light of White Magic. On top of this, they are also formidable swordsmen.
Samurai: Wielding their distinctive Katana swords (Akito uses two, a rarity), these warriors pride themselves on the mantra "one cut, one kill". Able to devastate enemies with lethal single cuts, these warriors tend to neglect defense, avoiding attacks with the agility of a raging gale.
Black Mage: Those who master the path of using the elements to crush those who would defy their will, Black Mages are often weak in close range, instead relying on Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Mana, Thunder, Wind, Poison, and Shadow to fight for them.
Oh, and Ruka is a White Mage.
Users of holy magic, these warriors are not truly strong in combat. Their strength comes from supporting and defending allies. Although they do posses several strong combat spells.
-
Thanks! Very helpful! :D
-
Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa! Jake is finally 'ebil' i mean evil!
-
Yes... but how twisted he is is up to you. 10,001 posts!
-
Hello:
And congratulations :DD .
-
Thanks. Now to get to 20,000! :lol
Seriously, I'm at the top of the rankings here. LBT-aholic is a rare status...
Now I've still got my work cut out if I want to get to the VERY top... :blink:
-
Yes... but how twisted he is is up to you. 10,001 posts!
i can make him twisted? *smiles evilly and looks over a globe of the earth* jokes i won't make him twisted at all
-
That's good to hear. The Prince is twisted enough for both of them... :blink:
-
For the fourth time, this RP has fallen into a lull. Nick and metadude still have connection issues, Chiletrek is busy, and we all have things to do this holiday season. Still, there will be some time soon enough, and when we are ready, we ought to get back into the RP! There's a LOT of ground to cover. XD
-
I should really get around to bringing good old Eternion into things a bit more. Right now I'm a bit busy, but as you said in a chat the other day, I could always play some minor characters or something.
I do have some other characters I hope to add to my little entourage, but at the moment it seems a little inappropriate to just have them appear.
On that note, I would like to know if they are appropriate. One is a :crazy Kobold, the other a phoenix like bird creature, except with a strong earthly bond rather than fire. Finally, there's also a human male who has very deep and old connections with Eternion.
-
All three are appropriate, especially that kobold, as I have had many kobolds appear in the RP so far, including that "Torgo" one.
Go ahead, put in whatever you want! As long as it isn't a kobold with god-like powers. :lol
-
Right. Here is my new character profiles, not sure when I'll have them show up though:
Klebol: male kobold shaman, which is pretty much similar to a sorcerer.
Age - quite young, possibly just reaching the mature age for a kobold.
Equipment - carries a small barbaric stick, used for his incantations. It is covered in feathers and jewels dangling from strings. It has an odd, charming sound when swung or used in a similar way... kind of like a wind chime. He wears rather little, just some old tattered cloth to cover himself.
Personality - he is very... odd. His brain is a little fried from a spell gone wrong, though he still has his moments of wisdom. He is reliable, but troublesome, and needs someone to keep a watch on him at all times... due to a childish nature. He likes to wander and get up to stupid activities... such as prodding things with his stick, or using a skull as a puppet.
Background - Klebol was to be the next shaman in his society. Raised by the current shaman, he learned a great many things about kobold life as well as the world that surrounded him.
However, one night as he practiced his magic... he cast a spell of such great power that his mind was rended and torn apart. Noone know of the spell he cast, but the screams and cries echoed through the halls, and perhaps further.
Broken and useless, he was thrown out of his tribe and left to die. This was not meant to be, and he survived with luck and what little wit he still had left. He used what magic he had to steal food from villages... to avoid danger, or even to fight it.
He barely made away with his life more times than he could count... unfortunately he can't count... so it's a bit of a mystery, but the shear amount of scars on his body say alot about what he has been through.
Lately, he wondered around... poking things and engaging in conversations with rocks. One night as he slept by a river, he met with a young girl... who revealed herself as an earth pheonix as she washed in a river.
Klebol was fascinated, and poked and prodded and pulled at her feathers. Tahlia introduced herself to the odd creature, and the two quickly formed a bond... though it was more because Klebol followed her around, and she couldn't stand the idea of neaving the scarred kobold on his own. Klebol now travels as a companion to Tahlia, as they head for the dracon lands.
- - - - -
Tahlia: female earth pheonix. Earth pheonix' have a strong bond with the world, and can shapeshift into other forms. For the most part, Tahlia takes the form of a young female human, so as to avoid trouble... as her kind are quite rare.
She has some minor powers, but mostly fights with a quaterstaff. Her bond with the earth means she is stronger when in the natural wild, but cities and other unatural setting can make her feel sick.
Age - very old, perhaps a few centuries. This does not show in her appearance, however.
Equipment - some tools and clothing fit for a female human. She carries extra clothes with her since shifting form will not magically give her new clothes... so she is essentially naked when taking humanoid forms.
Personality - a kind and caring individual. She is wise and watchful of those she takes under her wing (so to speak). She has a habit of attempting to teach others of what she has learnt over the centuries. She can be sarcastic and odd natured when pushed, but for the most part... the centuries have taught her to remain calm as much as possible.
Background - Tahlia was born atop a great spire that reached into the sky, a unforgiving but safe sanctuary. From there, she quickly adapted to her surroundings and learned to make a living. Soon enough, her instincts took over and she wished to fly to far away lands.
However, close to her original home, she was wounded by a human hunter, but managed to escape capture. She landed in a village, bleeding and weary. The village was a small fishing spot with very few inhabitants. Fascinated by the creature that had collapsed in their humble home, they took her in and cared for her until she healed. It was from this encounter that she took the form of a human in order to protect herself from harm, fearing another attack. She is both thankful and cautious of human kind... as they can be very unpredictable.
She traveled the world, for centuries. She watched empires rise and fall, and always changed her shape as trends changed and time wore on. Essentially, she was a great many people, living various lives throughout history... though her impact on it is all but naught.
In her current incarnation, a young red haired girl, she has travelled to the dracon lands with a young kobold... she has heard the rumours of trouble greater than anything that has affected this world.
-
You should say why they are acting the way they are, but beyond that, its all good! :D
Feel free to add them whenever you have the time. :)
Do you need a recap of my characters?
-
Nah, I remember most of your characters. I'll just wait until the main story picks up before I bring them in.
-
Cool. Now that Nick22 is back, this will be easier. Just to let you know, the main characters are in the palace of Tallon, a very rich Dracon. Rhiga, Lucien, Margas, Minna, Marcus, and Ilsa are off on side-quests/activities, and Rhiga just laid her egg prematurely. :blink:
The rest of them should gather soon enough.
In real life terms, this means a day or two before the main story picks up. XD
-
That's fine with me. I still have to sort out Eternion's potions, but I'll do that at a more appropriate time, since there's already enough going on.
-
Good idea. Take your time.
-
i won't be able to post very much just so you guys know...
but i will post when i can
-
I understand. Are you still having computer troubles? You had told me that you would be unable to participate much for a while, but that you'd get the internet back eventually. :)
-
Cool cool. I'll be on more soon. Like, tomorrow
-
Good to hear. I'm glad you're still in it. :)
-
Good news, everyone! The subplot in that tower with the cursed rich dracon girls is about to end! Yes, you read that right. It was a subplot involving the "curse of Lesbos." Yes. THAT subplot. I don't blame some of you for choosing to take a backseat. Nick22's characters, Minna and Ilsa have been freed from the curse he had put on them, and now, we can move on to the "epic" part of the story.
Also, I have a very tentative plan to add some of my own, spoken narration once I get a mic and find a place to put the sound. I may scrap the idea altogether if time and/or interest is lacking.
-
RECAP TIME!
Since the Fantasy RP has been going on-and-off for a while, I feel it is necessary to recap the characters and the events.
First, the major characters as of 1/5/10:
Adykon: Leader of the party. He is a Dracon warrior, and may be destined to defeat the main villian (see below.) So far, he is the closest thing the RP has to a main character.
Jake: Human youth gone evil. A long-time member of the party, one of his arms is made of metal. Yes, like that anime, full metal alchemist. Jake has been adopted by a family of Dracons.
Rex: Jake's brother and a Dracon. He is a fighter, but is still young.
Eriol: A bipedal panther known as a Gaean; one of many such sentient animal races. He is a good warrior, but suffers from a curse.
Arianne: Eriol's wife and a powerful sorceress of the air.
Sasha: Another human. Sasha is a sorceress who recently gained to ability to absorb power like a battery.
Marcus: Dracon archer who is to marry Rhiga. He is not currently with the main party.
Rhiga: Female Dracon thief and wife-to-be of Marcus
Vespion: Priest-Mage from Minbenthac. He is still with the party. In effect, he replaces Kravika and Sivar (see below)
Annette: A human girl with magical powers. Temporarily under my control until Great Valley Guardian is able to use her again, due to time constraints.
Vaeri: Mother of Rhiga. She died at the hands of the main villain.
The Fauxen: Several characters played by Starfallraptor. Specific details are few, but they may yet have an important role to play. They look like humanoid foxes.
Minna: A rich Dracon sorceress who is set to marry a noble.
Ilsa: Like Minna, a rich Dracon sorceress, also set to marry a noble.
Kos: Adykon's son, and one of the many children of Vaeri.
Dememoras: The main villian, also known as the "Dark Master." He is a serious threat.
Arcantas: The original villain. He was a Dracon archmage who died, was a vampire, then was destroyed for good.
Asthia: Dracon vampire female mage. Also destroyed for good.
Kravik: A now discontinued character. He was a Dracon mage.
Sivar: Another discontinued character. She was a Drcon priestess.
Malcia: Female Dracon sorceress who cursed Minna and Ilsa.
The events of the RP are many, but to simplify:
The party went to a lost city in the desert, learned that they were betrayed by the one who sent them there (Arcantas), returned to Minbenthac (their base city), stopped Arcantas, spent some time relaxing, then went out to save Rhiga after she was kidnapped. They did so, defeating Arcantas and learning of Dememoras, and accidentally returned to the wrong city when the return spell failed. After going to the right city, they told everyone about the threat of Dememoras, and then a subplot began involving Minna and Ilsa, their fiances, and a curse.
I would not have posted 3 times in a row if this wasn't important. Sorry for the length of it.
-
Moved the story along until morning.. ready to resume the main storyline..
-
Cool. I'll be there soon enough. I have to get some issues resolved involving my new computer, tablet, and getting used to windows seven. It's been under a day and about 2/3 of issues are resolved.
Next, the wedding of Marcus and Rhiga! (finally!)
-
Rex: Jake's adopted brother and a Dracon. He is a fighter, but is still young.
rex isn't adopted, jake is adopted
-
I'll fix that. My mistake. It's kinda hard to keep track of it all after so many months and so many characters. XD
Also, there has been a major, major post made. If you miss it, you miss a lot of what is happening. I just set up a major part of the rest of the RP. How your characters react to it is totally up to you. You should be able to tell what it is by all those huge, red letters. Can't miss it. XD
-
so exciting!!!
-
Metadude! Good to see you, man! Are you back for the long haul?
-
hopefully i might be on more than i usually have since i've caught up. btw, is it okay if the prince agrees to send Jake in pretending that the curse has worn off and that Jake is completely his old self?
-
That's a good idea, metadude. Sure.
-
okay cool
-
Nice idea meta.. the trick is, that the orthers will likely be suspicious due to his long absence
-
Hello:
And nice to see you again Metadude. I myself have been absent too lately, I'll try and catch up as soon as I can, ok?
-
Jake is travelling back to minthebec yay!
-
it will take him awhile to get there as Minbenthac is good distance away from Hekaga..
-
it will take him awhile to get there as Minbenthac is good distance away from Hekaga..
*plays The Proclaimers song and starts singing* I will walk 500 miles, and I will walk 500 more!
-
it will take a while but i doubt that it will take a week
-
true, he'll get there after the opening battle with Dememorus
-
It's spelled "Minbenthac" and "Dememoras", btw. :lol:
-
i always misspell those. gah :slap
-
lol, you and me both :lol:
-
btw, i should be on tomorrow, yays!!!
-
i fixed up my last post
-
good job meta.. good to have you back with us..
-
it feels great to be back, i'm free and i don't have to mow the lawn, clean my room or do any work w00t!
-
I'm very glad to have you back. Between me, you, and Drake, we will have... more posts than once thought possible! XD plus, Nick, Chiletrek, Jitterydragon, and just maybe Starfallraptor and GVG will lend a hand at times. XD
-
cool!
-
Indeed it is ^^
-
oh yeah and Vincent, i may be getting internet again if my sister and brother are nice to my parents
-
Tell them to be very, very nice, then! XD :D
-
heh heh, i will (pistol wips brother and sister in the back of the head while they're reading)
-
:lol Good to hear, man.
-
lets hope you can get back into the flow of things..
-
well i could get back into the flow of things if someone registered that i have been posting and i havn't gotten a response.....
-
I'll be there soon, metadude. I've been busy here. Sorry about that.
-
we all have demands on our time meta..
-
I'll mention Jake soon, meta. Sorry if things have been slow.
-
i should have internet tomorrow!!! w00t (jumps up and hits the ceiling fan...not a pretty site...)
-
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! *starts getting excited like a little girl*
-
lolz
-
YES!!! Finally! As soon as you get it, I can make others interact more with Jake, and we can resume the fantasy RP in full swing! :D
-
nice looking forward to having you back..
-
We really should make longer posts. I know I will. From this point on, if I see anything less than two paragraphs, I'll point it out in the RP.
-
alright.. i'll try and keep to that..
-
Don't worry; I won't let you fall, Nick. :lol
-
:lol: good one.. I'll see what i can add.. although hopefully the battle will end soon, and then the group can pick up the pieces and you can bring in the female mage you've been hinting about..
-
Hinting about? She was already in the RP since the very first adventure, Nick.
-
i know i was referring to the relationship between them..
-
I'll get to that part later. I don't want to do anything on that front until I have the time to adequately address some of the finer points of the RP.
-
Everyone, PLEASE keep posts to at least two paragraphs. I am doing the very same. The RP has gone on for over 350 pages. By now, we all really should be making more substantial posts, not a one-three line entry.
-
I'm ready to move on to the next part of the story frankly... hopefully this battle will wrap up soon.
-
We are approaching the climax of the battle, if it isn't obvious by now. XD. I'd like to move on too, and it would have been done if I had more time to post.
-
Nearing 400 pages everyone , nice job...
-
i will post soon, just gotta think of stuff to post and i gotta remember that damn joke
-
It's cool. Take your time.
-
Chiletrek, was that you who posted last? Wasn't there a HUGE power outage that struck 90% of Chile? :blink:
Maybe you are in the lucky 10%. :)
-
Hello:
The failure happened to a generator in a big section of the Central interconnected system (I guess that would be the english translation for "Sistema Interconectado Central") which is the hub of electrical power for most of the country and the service returned to almost normal status after 1am local time.
As for the place I live, my city depends on the Northern interconnected system that mainly operates near the city Tocopilla, very close to the bigger city of Antofagasta.
So yes, I am of the luck 10% (even though I thought it was a bit lesser percentage that was affected by the problem due to many bigger cities that were unaffected, mainly those in the northern regions).
-
Over 4,000 views in the discussion thread alone! And almost 850 replies! :D
-
still trying to remember that damn joke, *pulls out hammer* *wack* *wack* *crack* *squishy sound* ....uhhh...i don't feel too go-- uhhh.....*falls on floor* *blood pools around damaged region on the head*
-
You can remember it later. Now that the battle is over, there will be a lot of downtime before the next one. I won't say much, but... the next major battle will:
- Be in another Dracon city, a coastal city even larger than Minbenthac!
- It will involve the three dragons who attacked in this battle.
- There will be many times the number of soldiers, trying to destroy the largest city in the Dracon lands.
- Everyone's characters are invited to be there in some capacity.
- And Dememoras will personally fight. No, it is not the final battle, but it will be an even more important one than the one which just ended.
Until then, character development time! :lol
-
w00t! party party party!
-
There might be a party to celebrate the "victory", but it will be a small, short, and rather tense one. More like a very lame party. Considering that the war has only begun, there isn't much time to celebrate.
-
Hello:
So maybe just a little bit of rest so the character can rgain their strenght? well, it may not be a bit or a happy party, but at least it is something.
-
That's a good idea. We should also have the characters catch up on recent events, to make sure that all of them know what is going on. A lot has happened recently.
-
today i have began drawing my characters from the rp, i've completed rex so far but my printer is broken (is my scanner as well). My printer doesn't like windows 7..grr....
-
So far, I have Rhiga drawn, and a single, old shot of Adykon's head. Since I am the one who made the race, I determine what Dracons look like. If Rex doesn't look like a male version of this one...
http://noguy.deviantart.com/art/Dracon-Fem...ancer-150089971 (http://noguy.deviantart.com/art/Dracon-Female-Dancer-150089971)
...then it is not accurate. Obviously, you can choose the eye color, skin color, clothing, etc.
I have a printer and access to a scanner at home (I never use it, though), but all my work is done digitally, using a tablet. Since I only started a little while ago (a couple of months), I have yet to get Photoshop. Still, Paint.net is capable of pulling off anything that I have seen done on this forum, given the right skills.
-
get gimp, it's free and better than photoshop
-
I have GIMP. So far, I haven't needed to use anything on it that Paint.net cannot also give me.
-
okay
-
Plus, Paint.net is easier to use. I could use GIMP, sure. I've had it almost since I got this computer.
-
okay you can choose what you use. lol it rhymes, btw..in my post it says that jake was helping his dad carry crates. so he wasn't carrying them by himself so the post does not need an edit.
-
You should edit it anyway. It is a very bad reason for losing an arm.
-
...i don't see how, it's still quiet serious. I've seen people lose their arms to accidents like that
-
Not to something that is light enough for people to carry, probably. If it required a forklift, maybe.
-
It was heavy for his dad, that is why jake had tried to help. It is surely enough for a crate that heavy to crush or badly damage bone, even to the point of getting a prosthetic
-
Unless Jake's dad had superhuman strength to lift that... probably not.
He would have to be carrying over 300 kilograms to crush bone! Odds are, both of them combined could not have lifted that!
(P.S. If that seems too heavy/light, please note that I am not used to measuring things in kilograms, although I know most other people do.)
-
No one would be that stupid to try and carry 300 kg, it would be pointless....and btw, from your pm. Where in the world would a magical explosion happen on a farm with no magic whatso ever within 30 miles???
-
Maybe he went to a magical demonstration 31 miles away at a fair.
-
.............look i'm honestly beginning to become frightened..*that's a first*
-
Frightened? How? An explosion is that frightening?
-
no, the fact that a seven year old would go to a fair 31 miles away..
-
With his family, of course. :lol
I went to state fairs since I was even younger than that. I wasn't alone, though. :D
-
His family was poor and they wouldn't waste time going to a fair when they could be getting a little bit more money for food
-
Maybe they were taking food to SELL at the fair. If they were farmers, they would have to sell food every now and then if they wanted to make money.
-
good point but do you know how long it would take to travel by cart? and how quickly the food would spoil in the sun?
-
It could take them a day or so, and the food they could sell might be non-perishable, like dried fruits, or grains. The point is, they can take food to a fair to sell it.
-
but for every rp where i use jake. his story on how he lost his arm was always because of a crate accident...any way, can we just move on?
-
His story doesn't have to be the same in this RP as in the others; it is already different, really. Was Jake always living with Dracons in your other RPs that he is in? Thought not. :D
-
.....not living with dracons but he was living with an alternate family
-
But you see my point. Not everything about him is the same in every scenario.
-
i guess so, i'll think of a way to modify
-
Thanks! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me.
-
modified..i just decided to go with the accident at the fair idea
-
Cool! It's great to see the RP progressing. Even after almost a year, we can still add new developments and build our characters.
-
yeah! btw Zac might be joining soon. he'll be on at least 2 times a month and when he's not on i'll be controlling his char as well as my own.
-
Great to hear! 2 times a month is not a lot, but it is something. What characters is he bringing in, if you know?
-
someone like Xin from the rp on your site
-
Finally added something again *dances*
Also, I am considering bringing in another character as well, but I'm not sure at the moment, still thinking about that one, maybe at a later date or something along those lines.
-
Ah yes! I remember Xin. I only wish that RP had gone on longer.
And Drake, it is good to have you on board again. :D

-
sorry i havn't been posting lately. I've just been caught up in gamemaker and i'm behind schedule on one of my halo projects.
-
I know what you mean. Not only has I been busy with work and school, but I've also fallen behind on my fanfiction, my drawings, and some other stuff. I actually made a game once, along the same lines as you are doing, but it was on another computer, made back in the early 2000s. I don't know what happened to it.
-
it happens guys, no harm done.. :)
-
Right. The important thing right now is to gather the characters in the king's palace, and have them discuss the next step.
-
well, i've told zac to post for the last two days...he said he'd do it but he never follows through...grrrrr
-
I understand. This is like the... sixth slow period I've had in this RP in about a year. It always picks up in time.
-
yeah, but when the slow period is over, we post like crazy!!! :D
-
Very true. The RP has a way of more than making up for lost time! :D
-
indeed :lol
-
Are you online now? Want to continue the RP?
-
can't right now, sorry :(
-
Alright. When will you be online next? We can do it then, perhaps.
-
In a week, it will be the one year anniversary of the Fantasy Roleplaying game!
I'll contact you all soon. Maybe we can get it up to 400 pages by April 20th!
Here's to another year of roleplaying! :D
-
I'll post more in the RP tomorrow. Sorry for the delays, everyone.
-
Welcome back, metadude! Glad to see you are in the RP again!
-
welcome back meta..
-
Hello:
And welcome back Metadude, I hope you'll have some free time and less pc problems :DD .
-
i'm not officially back just yet...but thankyou guys for the welcome :D
-
Well, thanks for touching base, at least. Do you know when your computer will be back and working again?
-
i have it back now, i just haven't been able to get on it lately. school assignments and all...
-
Oh. Well, in that case, we should be able to welcome you back for real shortly, when the assignments are done. It would also be nice to touch base on MSN, if you have the time. :D
-
im now officially back!!! boo-yah!
-
good to have you back officially meta..
-
Hello:
And welcome back... officially :smile . I hope now you'll be able to finish the idea you've been plotted for quite a while now.
-
me too
-
Well, you all know what this means...
...I've got to get off my lazy butt and get back to... sitting on my lazy butt to continue the RP already. My uncle's birthday was on the 29th, so that kept me busy, along with real-estate stuff. No, I'm not being evicted, quite the opposite, in fact. :rolleyes:
-
Well, good to have you back, and doing well, Noname!
-
Good to hear!
-
will they be meeting up with Aerta soon?
-
Yes. The next "town" they go to will be her palace, which is under siege right now.
-
whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop (do the zoidberg!)
-
Glad to see you are enthusiastic. :DD :lol :p
-
tee hee :lol
-
Any ideas for your characters, Metadude?
-
modified my post, is it better?
-
It is. Thanks!
-
The RP now has over 40,000 views!
I'd like to do something to celebrate. I'm thinking of banners for those who participated in the RP, with bronze, silver, and gold dragons. I'll have to make sure it is okay with the admins first.
-
Ooh, nice...!
-
Yeah!
The plan is to give a bronze dragon sig banner to anyone with 100 posts, replace it with a silver dragon for 500 or more posts, and a gold one for 1000 or more posts in the RP.
I still need to make them and get permission to use them, but I think it is an idea with merit.
-
sounds great :goodluck :lol: :goodluck
-
Hello:
That would be very good to see, good luck Noname :DD .
-
Here are the base images for the banners, although the final result will be much, much smaller, and with text on the side.

i don't know what to post
-
If you ever don't know what to post, try something with what your characters are doing at the moment, picking up from the last time you posted something with them.
-
i'm back guys and ready to resume.. :)
-
i tried that and i failed
-
Welcome back, Nick.
Alright, Metadude. How about you post something on Frogboy's character? He gave that guy to you to control for now, so you might be able to make something for him.
-
just a recap as I've been in Jamaica all this week,.. have we made much progress towards Aerta's castle?
-
First, it is Aerta, not "Aetna." I'm not running an insurance company here. :lol
Second, no. The RP has been quiet lately.
-
fixed that typo.. :bang and i'm glad i've not missed much..
-
On a side note...
Am I the only one who spells correctly in this RP? Besides MrDrake whenever he shows up?
I know that Chiletrek is from Chile and English is obviously not his first language.
Metadude has his reasons, and I know Nick does too, but I won't make them public for privacy reasons.
However, in the future, if you could please double-check your posts, Nick, that would be appreciated. If an RP-specific word or concept (like "Minbenthac" or "Dememoras") is tricky, please ask me for the proper spelling in this discussion thread. Thanks.
-
Alright, in a day or two I'm going to get things going again in the RP. I've had to do some last-minute tasks for my job before a relatively quiet summer... albeit a short summer, as Law School begins for me on August 17th.
-
holidays! yay!
-
Welcome back, metadude.
-
Thanks!!!
-
I'm kinda stuck waiting for Nick's characters to reply, but if he doesn't have a response soon, I will just have to post regardless.
-
okay, i'll also sign into msn
-
Alright. The plot is a bit delayed, as we have been waiting for Nick to respond.
-
Hey guys, just checking in from NY. I do have acess to a computer, so I replied in the rp. Hope you guys are doing well, and my reply will allow the plot to move forward.
-
Thanks! I'll check it out.
-
cool :D
-
i finally posted, yay! :D
-
Took you long enough! (kidding.) :lol:
-
действительно (indeed)
-
Are you still around. Meta?
-
so we'll soon reach Aerta's castle right?
-
Are you still around. Meta?
just here and there i guess
-
What does that mean, Meta? Once a week?
-
i should be on next week...i hope
-
In case anyone is wondering where I am, I assure you I am still here. Law School and soon-to-begin work-study are taking much more of my time. While there will be a couple of breaks in the next three years of my studies, including long summer breaks, time will be at a premium. Some days, I will have time to actually post, especially on the weekends. Other days, I will be too busy to even check this page out.
Overall, my long-term participation will be reduced on the GoF. It is unavoidable. Still, I have big plans for the RP. It is only a matter of timing those plans for when I have the time in real-life.
-
Hello:
We all know how life can turn very hectic, some more than others, but I am sure that we all know that real-life always comes first. So keep it up with law school and I hope to see you sround every now and then.
-
bummer, law school must be very hard...but..then again...almost everything in life is hard aint it? :D
-
It is not so hard at the moment as it is time-consuming. I will be my best to strike a balance.
-
i might be able to post something soon...i hope
-

i am god!
lolz, jokes
-
Well, seeing as how you have a good idea for a character, there are only two issues to address.
1. The character needs a name
2. The clothing needs to be adapted to a fantasy setting.
Once those two things are taken care of, we can proceed to integrate her into the RP.
Thanks for joining!
-
she's given the character a name
EDIT: now
-
Yes, Chloe. I've seen.
-
rp is moving along nicely
EDIT: :yes
-
Name: Burdock
Sex: Male
Species: Lapine (Rabbit)
Class: Fighter
Equipment/clothing/weapons: Preferably sword/shield standard equip. Armor depends on situation.
Fur color: Black.
Bio: As a child Burdock was put to labor by his parents at an early age. He grew up this way and eventually his parents separated and he lived with his father. While he never saw his mother again, his father went on to become an alcoholic in Burdock's adolescence. Burdock moved out and found a new residence, got better jobs and was even able to join the guard service. After about a year and a half in duty, he was kicked out due to his unlawful pratices. He was forced to leave town when he couldn't get any other good paying job.
Personality: While one would think that such events would be traumatic, they were not for Burdock. There never was much of a relationship between he and his family. However, his rough working exposed him to adult life at an early age, which thus changed the very way he lived life. He's a very deviant and promiscuous person who likes to spend time at the pubs and in bed. (With women.) However, he's very business like when it comes to his job, and will sometimes take time to find other things of interest if it's available and reasonable to obtain. Thanks to his amount of survival experience on the streets and on duty, he won't have an qualms about maiming or killing. At this moment he's interested in becoming a mercenary for hire.
He came from a lapine society. Details on it are vague.
______
I'll probably join on the rp whenever noname is ready with his char.
-
Very good. Just one question: What is a typical suit of armor/clothing for him. I know it depends on the situation as to what he uses, but it would help if he had a default suit in addition to others he changes into.
-
Great character! :D
-
Hello:
Your character seems to be quite interesting Campion, I'm glad you decided to join the rpg :DD .
-
Here is another character, to be used in conjunction with Campion's Burdock.
Name: Delphine
Sex: Female
Height/Weight: 110 lbs, 5'4.
Species: Lapine (humanoid rabbit)
Class: Bard
Equipment: Light clothing. No weapons.
Fur color: White
Background: One of the female of her kind in the Dracon lands, Delphine is a waitress in a cantina located on the palace grounds of the kind of Minbenthac. How she got to the Dracon lands and what she intends to do remain a mystery for now.

nice drawing
EDIT: ultra awesome song! friends reckon that it suits my....previous personality>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hAvu-BL2-c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hAvu-BL2-c)
-
Good to have you join Campion...
-
Yup. Very nice indeed to have fresh meat, er- new blood. Or was it fresh blood? New meat? :DD :lol
-
fresh meat i think the term is :)
-
No, no. It's new blood. :lol
-
bah ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa!
-
Yeah. It's taking a while to get that part of the RP started, though. Still, this whole thing has been slowed down by reality. XD
-
indeed
-
How is everyone doing? I know things are slow for now...
-
i'm good, lot's of exams and assignments due this week..grrr...so, how are you guys holdin' up?
-
Hello:
I will be busy this week, at least until tomorrow XD. But next week will be the celebrations of our Bicentennial so I might get far more time :DD .
-
Alright. I would like to get this RP back into the high gear its been known to have before. Maybe not today, tomorrow, or even this week, but soon.
-
Sounds good Noname. I'm anxious to get my characters moving tooo..but real life comes first of course
-
No more school for two weeks! hallelujah! expect me to be active on the rp!
-
Good to hear. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
-
good to be in the rp, noname and I will continue this later :)
-
Cool. Later is good. I have stuff to do too.
-
looks like you guys got a lot done. I replied in the roleplay..
-
Good to have you playing Campion! :D
btw, replied on the rp
-
Nice. You there, metadude? Haven't seen you in a few pages.
-
yeah, still here :)
-
Cool. Haven't seen you on Windows live lately. lol.
-
yeah...used up 99.99.99% of my internet....gotta wait few days till i get it up to full speed. I upgraded to 120gb instead of my old 50gb...xbox live likes to eat lots of giga bytes per day...
-
While I'm not naming names here, would it be so hard for some of you to please, please proofread spelling and grammar?
-
guilty, ha ha ha ha. okay-i'll try my best to proofread my spelling and grammer
-
I actually had a different target in mind, but yes, you can fix things up to. This RP has been going on for so long you might as well just learn some grammar in the meantime. XD
Heck, when this RP started, I was still living "at home", and was still in undergrad. Now I'm in law school.
-
i'm guessing you're referring to me. Well I'll go over my last few posts and clean them up..
-
Well, alright. Yes, I guess that is the truth. :DD No offense meant.
In any event, I believe it is "your turn" to go, Nick, as I was the last one who posted in the RP.
-
Alright I'll go post.. so are we in a down time or will we be headed to a new city shortly?
-
sorry i haven't been posting much lately...but i haven't had much chance to use the internet...crappy connection and my laptop is starting to crap itself...it isn't even 1 yr old yet..i hate Harvey Norman...
-
"Norman" is a chain of stores?
-
umm....that was err....random
-
You said you hate "Harvey Norman."
-
the laptop i have that is sooooo great...has started to shit itself...
Edit: Not the person who created the franchise, but this particular store in Gympie
-
Alright. I see.
-
so...yeah...
-
Does anyone need a recap of the events of the RP?
-
school holidays sucked...none of my friends from school to talk to....school time now...sorry i didn't post much like i said i would :(
-
It's okay. Will you be able to post more in the near future?
-
i won't say i'm certain, but i'll say that i'll try my hardest
-
Alright. That's fine. That is all anyone can ever ask of you.
-
so sorry i haven't been posting lately! school work is a pain in the ass!
-
I'm just glad to see that you still care, metadude. Take your time. Eventually, this RP will be revamped in a major way. You'll see when we gather the party and prepare to take them to a new city for a major adventure. The best is yet to come. :D
-
Del coolio
-
internet ropeplay combat. lol :p
-
Well, the idea is that each side fights, but ultimately, I will not kill off another person's character without their explicit permission. In other words, you can't die in this RP unless you want to! :lol:
-
That's good, I guess. I'm always used to D&D rules whenever it comes RPing. Mostly death being able to happen at any point in the game, with no prejudice. I'm sure I've told you about this before. Also, our characters don't know that! ;)
-
I use "D&D-esque" rules, which are like D&D, until the RP causes problems for them. :lol:
-
i'll try my best to post soon!
EDIT: POSTED!
-
Cool! I'll post as soon as I can
-
i feel so much better now that i posted :D
-
I'll feel better when I get the chance to post as well! :lol: :D :) :DD :lol
-
lol
-
Alright. I'm back. Time for an update. The main RP is on my site, the second RP is sorta suspended, as I have no time to update that one. Anyone who wants to go to my site can easily find the RP there.
-
So I take it we're not resuming it on here then? which is fine.. its your call after all.
-
Unless something changes, it will be easier to run on my site, which is custom-built for RP games, and my screen name there is a lot better.
Plus, I have that Napoleon icon, and have the rank of "emperor" (needless ego-trip, I know). If you post a lot, your rank as a noble goes up.
I considered mage ranks at first, but while "archmage" is clearly a high rank, I couldn't decide if "wizard" was higher than "sorcerer", so I used noble ranks.
More to the point, I can run the RP there the way I had always intended it, with no (other) admins there, save for metadude, who is a mod.
-
that makes sense..i'll try and get over there as much as possible..
-
Very cool. I'd like to save the drama for the RP, not the forum.
-
understood. :)
-
Just a reminder; if anyone wants to join the RP, you will not find it continued here. Instead, go to my site at this link: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Fantasy_RP_Boar...dex.php?act=idx (http://z6.invisionfree.com/Fantasy_RP_Board/index.php?act=idx)
For all those currently playing it or who had played it before, you have my thanks!
