I enjoyed reading that sheet very much. Welcome aboard and feel free to add that gloriously built manly man to the character thread.

It's 1:30am so I think now is the perfect time to write an introductory IC post for the rp.

Excellent idea Leslie!

lol woops I accidently hit post instead of preview on the ic. Consider that a teaser I guess

I'm making a character so might have it up later today when I get time.

Highly considering scrapping Mardrin. After finishing my intro post I realized how difficult it is to write about someone who fights with tentacles and not make it sound like tentacle rape is imminent in every situation. I can have another up in a jiffy after work; would you mind Leslie?

Update: I replaced Mardrin in the character page, but can always edit it. Let me know what you think.

YO! I have been away from this site for an age and a half and came back to find a Dark souls RP 'just' starting from the looks of it... Are you still accepting or was my timing just a little too late? I adore dark souls stuff.

And on a side note, are things from Dark souls 2 accepted [in terms or equipment and spells [not counting the legendary 'some super awesome powerful dude probably invented this one of a kind spell that somehow everyone HAS!' spells]... things like that?]

Yipee! Thank you, I'm going to enjoy seeing this played out. I'll see about doing an IC post soon.

Probably should have waited, but I just couldn't help it. I'll edit it accordingly as characters are changed or new ones are brought to light. Or perhaps if someone's character wasn't at the shrine at all? Dunno, but I guess I'll find out!

Indian I looked over your new character and he is perfectly fine. I'm happy that we have a Darkwraith in the mix.

Shoryu you are still welcome to join! You can use stuff from Dark Souls 2 but just try to consider that Drangleic came long after Lordran (At least that's my interpretation; yours could be different) so be mindful of which equipment you use.

Also I'm glad you'r excited Unraveller. In truth I'm quite happy that this roleplay seems to have brought in moderate group of passionate people. I have to be honest; i've never done this before and I'm still somewhat thinking of how we are going to play this out. I'm just wondering little things such as: how do we deal with boss fights? Should we add in extra fights? Should we all travel as one party or split to obtain different objectives? Who will antagonise the group and make it harder for them to progress?

The last question is somewhat answered now that Indian has made a Dark Wraith. He and the NPC Caitlyn could probably constitute as a "problem" if we start finding NPC's gone hollow everywhere. That's another thing I want to keep from the games. NPC's don't have plot armor, and while having them alive and healthy offers the benefit of trading and learning new information about Lordran, if someone murders them or steals their humanity then they are gone and the roleplay will shift based on that. In my head I have little mini-quests already planned out for a few of the NPC's that I think would be fun if the cast ended up exploring them. Or you know maybe we just end up murdering them for their sweet sweet loot, who knows?

Thank you Leslie!

Very hyped up for this. If you were remaining religious to the universe it would be too difficult to write in. In my opinion, all those questions you posed should be hashed out here in the OOC, if you feel there's a discrepancy.

Intro post coming up.

And I sure am glad that you've decided to take the time of day to create this! I understand that GMing can be difficult, especially if you're rusty or haven't done it before. Hopefully this'll be that experience that will vastly improve the skills you already have.

I agree that staying completely akin to the sourcr would be difficult, thus I encourage anything you feel necessary to be addedn. Whether that be different areas, altered story, or who knows, a third bell for whatever reason! Good luck.

Oh, and holy shit, Arghast is frightening!

Having a Darkwraith around is bound to make things interesting amongst our little group for sure. Also will be posting in the IC tomorrow. Spent the day thinking of my intro post but by the time I went "time to post!" it was way past midnight. Very excited to get involved with my first Dark Souls RP!

If you are still accepting new characters I'd like to throw my hat into this. I've got an idea brewing at the moment and I should be able to have it up by tomorrow.

We'd be happy to have you. I think you'll be our last. Wouldn't want the cast to grow too big.

Everyone else that's working on a character sheet currently (Lord, Gamer and Light I believe) will be our last participants! So I guess I'll change the thread to say no more applications are being taken.

Shoryu you are still welcome to join! You can use stuff from Dark Souls 2 but just try to consider that Drangleic came long after Lordran (At least that's my interpretation; yours could be different) so be mindful of which equipment you use.

Woo! I'll crank out a character sometime this afternoon. Also, I would have responded much sooner, but the new site setup fooled me into thinking there hadn't been a reply yet, I've gotta get used to the 'tabbed threads'.

And I believe our interpretations of the timeline are similar! I remember watching some convincing youtube videos clarifying speculatory evidence that made lots of sense.

So basically, no 'one of a kind' or 'legendary' items, none o that boss armor or spells, or things that couldn't have existed back in the days of Lordran.

Also, DAMNIT! Am I the only one who still can't bring myself to murder that lovable oaf of a sun bro?!

Oh hey, I just finished reading through all of the OOC posts so far :D and i felt compelled to comment on 'this' for some reason...

The trick to fighting with tentacles is to develop the understanding that no matter how much T.R. there might 'be' out there to give them the Stigma, There's always innocent little tentacles being looked down upon while they aren't being evil or lewd D:

also, thank you! Ironically, stopping to think up that silly line I just typed out, gave me some ideas to add to the list for my own character >3>

New thought, you know having one big group of undead roaming around sure seems like it would be strange or make the setting easy. Unless of course there were far more creatures lurking behind ever corner. Though that could make combat more repetitious. I feel splitting groups up would be logical, though GMing for two or more different groups at the same time could become confusing. What about some people staying at the shrine in order to rest or something to that effect? Just some thoughts, though I could be completely inept at this subject.

I actually 'was' wondering why there weren't more enemies around XD I figured either most of them had 'eaten' eachother for humanity long ago, or it's just because it's set to be doable by a single person.

I'd post again, but I dont want there to be two or three people be constantly posting, so I'll give it another day.
