Potential RPG Idea

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

Noname · **Reply #722 on:** October 06, 2009, 02:48:37 AM

It takes more than "OMG my parent/girlfriend/sibling/wife/friend/godparent/cat/dog died so I'm evil!"

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

Noname · **Reply #726 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:07:29 AM

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.

Nick22 · **Reply #727 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:15:34 AM

yes there are other ways of moiving the plot along..

Noname · **Reply #728 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:23:37 AM

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?

JitteryDragon · **Reply #731 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:36:09 AM

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

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...

Noname · **Reply #732 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:40:01 AM

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

.

Nick22 · **Reply #734 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:34:09 AM

Welcome Jittery. if you want Eternion to join up with the group, you're welcomre to do so.. let him have one last adventure..

Noname · **Reply #735 on:** October 19, 2009, 12:10:31 AM

Who says it has to be his last?

Anyway, Eternion is fitting in well...

JitteryDragon · **Reply #736 on:** October 19, 2009, 08:22:02 AM

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

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...

Noname · **Reply #738 on:** October 19, 2009, 06:02:53 PM

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.

metadude1234 · **Reply #739 on:** October 27, 2009, 11:04:10 PM

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?
