That would be right, from before he knew how to do it properly.  Though I believe that was one of the Season 2 Episodes, when the story started moving.

I dimly remember the cartoon.
It was a very good show, and one of the first of its type to use a single story told through it's 65-episode run.  But it's not the best-known series.  

64 of its 65 episodes can be found easily enough, and if you live in the US & Canada, you can finally get it on DVD.

Mainly testing the waters, seeing if there’s sufficient interest to build a proper RP out of this, using the 1992/3 Animated Series of the same name as the basis for it.  


Title:  Conan the Adventurer:  The Long Quest

Story (Main Animated Series):  Based loosely on the works of Robert Edward Howard, this was a watered-down version made so it could be broadcast in the Saturday Morning Slot.  Even so, they did manage to make a pretty good series from it, being the first one that I am aware of that followed a major story plot from beginning to end, allowed for development of characters, had an extremely racially diverse main cast, and whom had more than one dimension to them.  Also one of the few that allowed physical violence from the protagonists (towards their enemies).  

It usually revolved around the series antagonist Wrath-Amon attempting to attain sufficient quantities of Star-Metal in order to create the seven discs needed to open a rift between his World and the Abyss to free his Master, the Serpent God Set.  A goal he did succeed in, briefly.  


Story (RP):  For this RP, I’ve settled on the idea that a substantial quantity of Starmetal has been located, enough to ensure that all the discs can be constructed with plenty to spare.  The issue being that it’s a long, long way from the usual locations, forcing a two week-long trek westwards across the oceans to reach the lands in question.  The distance thus forces the use of sailing ships to make the trek to and from it, with all the dangers that these ancient lands and oceans possess.  

Intended Start Point is partway into the long trek into the unknown lands.  


Cast:
  • Wrath-Amon - Vincent

  • Windfang

  • Skulkar

  • Conan - Rocky

  • Needle - Rocky

  • Thunder - Rocky

  • Zula

  • Jezmine

  • Greywolf

  • Snagg
Notes:  
  • OC’s are welcome, provided they don’t overpower the main cast with regards to capabilities

  • I’m willing to add details/elements from other variants of Conan

  • If there’re any questions you have concerning this, don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll answer them as best I can

  • Multiple Characters is permitted

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_the_Adventurer_%28animated_series%29 - for any info relating to the series itself
I hope you all like the idea.

Just done a quick post to have Laurel enter the scene - sort of.  Trick was making sure it remained unique, yet still having basis in the methods employed by The Master.

“Welcome.  Laurel.”  These were the first words she heard that she could understand.  

Facing the source of the words, her sight rested on a stern-looking woman, short black hair and skirted suit.  If Laurel knew of style and attitude at the time, she would have deduced that this one was every bit the no-nonsense business woman.  Not even one strand of hair out of place.  

The room she was in was completely utilitarian in design, function taking complete precedence over form, metal and white the only colours to be seen.  A few lab-coated technicians operated the delicate equipment, some human, others…not.  

“As of today, you’re now a Cano-Sapien, if still just a pup.  As of tomorrow, your education and training will begin.  Jason will take you to your assigned quarters.”  The stern woman  pointed to a human man you stood to attention the moment his name was mentioned, motioning for the young pup to follow him once she was finished speaking.

1.  Thanks.  I do have one other idea, but one I think can be held off until later, so I'll work on the details and add it later.  

2.  That makes sense to me.  

3.  As does this, so I can see one thing that could prove to be quite the thorn.  

4.  Got it.

Taken me a good while (and a lot longer than I thought), but I finally think I might have one:  


Name:  Laurel

Age:  23

Species:  English Border Collie

Height:  170cm

Weight:  69 Kg

Special Power:  Lean-Burning Body.  The Oxygen requirement for Laurel’s body to function  is far less than normal, permitting greater endurance, able to push herself harder for longer.  She has been timed at 17m34s holding her breath while swimming underwater.  

Bio:  Laurel was not one brought in by ëThe Master’ (And no!  I’m NOT talking about The Doctor’s Arch-Nemesis :p ) not was her uprating thanks to Parvo.  The organisation that brought her about is one that is ill-known even to herself, as she left at the first opportunity.  

These days Laurel has struck out a path of her own, priding herself on her fiercely independent nature and ability to be the one to take charge.  A mercenary of sorts, taking on the really dirty jobs that others don’t want to do, assuring herself a more than good pay check given the supply/demand nature of said work.  

Naturally given said work, she does have good training in both weapons and martial arts.  She has come to favour the AK-103 with 30-round magazine, and the Glock 22 with 15-round magazine.  Two of the latter, one of the former.

Incidentally, I do have a few questions concerning this RP:  

1.  I recall one episode where Parvo was convinced to use Stray Cats with his variant of the Transmogrifier (if thatës the name of it), so would species outside of dogs be permitted?  

2.  What would the education of the pups raised by The Master be like?  

3.  What sort of oversight does The Master have?  I would think someone would want to be able to keep track of his activities.  

4.  Who else would have access to his technology?  Either by theft or coercion?  Kinda vital if the Bio I made is to work, so sorry in advance if it looks like I’m forcing it.

Looked this one over, and I'll say I'm intrigued.  

But it'll be a good while before I can get back to this comp and actually work out a character with some background for this.  

As for the series itself.  I don't think it was an especially Bad Series, but it certainly wasn't the best one out there.  And with shows like Gargoyles, Batman TAS, and Spider-Man TAS out at around the time this came out, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ratings were at least one of the deciding factor in cancelling it after its initial 13 episodes.

Pterano's said it's fine, so here's some brief Bios for other members of Jason's Crew in the Underground Racing Circuits.  Though it's a six-man crew, I think I'll just be using these two plus Jason most prominently, as so not to overload myself:  




Name:

Leonard “Lenny” Smith

Species:

Diplodocus

Age:

23

Occupation:

Mechanic/DJ

Physical Appearance:

7ft 5in, but 18in of that height is in his neck.  Slightly overweight though not by much.  Tan Brown Scales but far lighter for the underside with leaf-green patterns running from the back of his neck to the tip of his tail.  His wardrobe is for in-guise only, and does vary a bit.  His guise is that of a caucasion male with longer sandy-blonde hair.  

Personality:

Easy-going and quite relaxed, he likes to take things at a relaxed pace which while can be problematic when a job needs doing to a tight timeline, doesn’t make him an unreliable partner to have as he will do it properly.  This finds him acting as a buffer between disputes that can arise between the members of Jason’s Crew.  

Brief Bio:

Working under Carlos, his main job is to service and repair the cars and trucks that enter the garage, as well as tune up the ones used by Jason and the others in the Races.  When he’s doing neither, and when there’s a party, he will be the one operating the equipment to keep the music going.  He doesn’t speak much of his family, and the others don’t push him on it.  




Name:

Aki Hamilton

Species:

Human

Age:

28

Occupation:

Garage Owner/Street Racer

Physical Appearance:

5ft 7in, dark-haired, brown skin.  Slim yet toned.  Likes Denims, Leathers, and Heeled Boots.  

Personality:

Quite direct, blunt, and rude at times, but fiercely loyal to the Crew.  Can be considered to be paranoid at times, but given what she knows, and what she knows that means, it is understandable.  

Brief Bio:

Buying out a small garage with an inheritance left to her, Aki was quick to bring it up to scratch and get a crew in to work for her.  Later on she became involved with Jason as he worked his way up the ladder in the Underground, both professionally and personally, and despite a few knocks (plus one really big one), they’ve been working together for some years now.  

Though she primarily manages the finances of the Garage and from the Races they enter, she will enter herself when she feels the need to, and has proven to be on the same level as Jason when it comes to racing.

Been a while so I'm wondering whose turn it is now.  

Based on how some of them have been reacting to the knowledge of humans knowing of their existence - and still breathing - I wonder how they'd react to Jason's meets with them.

I say the GTR myself. :)
Nissan GTR it is then.  :DD

Technically a four-seater, but really more of a 2+2 given that space in the back is on the tight side.

Hmm, yeah. We'll have to figure out a way to include Jason into the story. As for the cars, don't ask me because I don't know much about cars :p
Well all I have for an idea is it happens after they get back to LA, but beyond that...

Looked at the various car specs, GTR.  Better at corners, good for tuning.  :DD

Been re-reading the story to get myself familiar with it.  

Been thinking about how to fit Jason L. Clarke into the story, but I suspect I have at least a little time to think about it.  

In any case, been giving thought as well to what type of car he would use in his races.  Nissan GTR?  Roush Mustang?  Toyota MR2?  Mazda RX-8?  I think one of the first two would work best.
