I mean, they might have a bit in common since they both like being in the game world for similar reasons if I read your sample right, but jesus.

We haven't even started the RP yet.

@Savo stop with your shipping before we even start, silly.

I also plan for Tis to possibly pick up Weapon/Armor forging as well as a few other ones I'm a bit uncertain about at the moment.

@Gowi
food! XD

Username: Ashen
IRL Name: Sarah
Age: 37
Sex: Female
Theme: I want to Kill You (By Darling Violetta)

Background: Sarah is a bitter, tired cubicle worker for a software company that spends her days doing nothing but poring over code seeking out small imperfections that inhibit programs from reaching their maximum efficiency. It is a tasking job. It is a boring job. It also is very sedentary which has led to her becoming a bit chubby. All in all, she is quite unsatisfied and will take any opportunity for an escapist fantasy that presents itself.

Writing Sample:
Ashen slipped across the killing field, past the muted gray corpses that littered it and recouped some of her limited health by reaching out and touching the corpses. From afar it would seem as if offering some form of last rites but no, she was siphoning that last of their life forces as the spun away into nothing. Already the corpses out of the corner of her eye were deresolving.

This was the part she hated, the low level grind. Fighting through hordes of chipmunks, rabbits and enduring the small tutorials. How she hated all of it. Mind you, she loved gaming. More precisely she loved the politics and the factions, the role playing aspect of the game. What was the point in defeating some meaningless computer construct? Did they feel pain, or get upset? No, she would much rather kill players or be killed by them in turn. At least then something happened, there was pain and pathos. One could reach out and exert their power over another.

Packing up, peering at the pathetic loot that had been dropped by the hapless constructs she considered the poor bastard she had murdered earlier. The poor bastard was only half her level, which wasn't saying much given she'd just started herself and she used him to tank for him through much of this boring crap before she kissed him to thank him for his help. He didn't even notice his hit points dropping until it was far too late and now she had all of his starting money. His items, well, they were useless so she left them where they lay so that he could recover them but that was only because they had no resale value.

The other reason she had that boy to tank was that she was horrible at combat. She fumbled at using swords and took several tries simply to nock arrows. That's why she had her skeletons, to handle all that mediocrity and so she could focus more appropriately on the movement of her pieces on the grand chess board. It was also why she liked being with other, like minded, people who also liked the politics, that liked the idea of ruling the game and not just being good at killing random monsters ad nauseum.

That was when the "Dark Lord" appeared. The pompous fool yammered on but thankfully his words were short but his claims. She checked her ability to log out and found it to be true. She had no idea what that meant. She didn't believe it to be true. It was probably just some stupid glitch and that idiot took advantage to incur fear. She had to admire that. If he could take credit for the hack then he was likely going to make everyone wonder what else he could do, what else could he hack?

Then ther was the other question. If he wasn't lying. Things would be bad. She still thought it was a quick and dirty hack but what if it wasn't? What happened if someone died now? Did they respawn back at the local temples? She was going to have find that out and for that she needed a victim.

wait...really? I legitimately think that's a pretty bad pairing. Probably xD
Difficult to tell without any sort of IC posts.

I mean, they might have a bit in common since they both like being in the game world for similar reasons if I read your sample right, but jesus.

We haven't even started the RP yet.

@Savo stop with your shipping before we even start, silly.

I also plan for Tis to possibly pick up Weapon/Armor forging as well as a few other ones I'm a bit uncertain about at the moment.

I mean, I’m fairly open to whatever relationship or development happens during the course of the RP. Whilst Hanako/Rael is a tsundere, I really haven’t thought much on how she interacts with people beyond that framework so it’ll be fun developing that. I’m pretty much okay with any development as long as it’s fun and makes sense.

lol relationships planned already? let's wait for the story to come along...much funnier that way XD

@Gowi

Oh, I am too. As long as it makes sense and everything develops in a fun manner, I'm all for any relationship. Problem is, Tis is a bit of a Dandere come to think of it, so she's not gonna be doing any sort of relationship with anyone on her own so someone else would probably have to do that. But yeah, fun stuff. We'll see how it goes.

so out of all curiosity, we're all waiting or most of us are for approval and server to be put up?

I think we're waiting on the OOC first.

@Gowi
that too

Also: An alternative character, in case we need something other than a mage- my Off-tank Cleric idea.

@cloudystar
I thought giving him a shield at early levels would be a bad idea, but we have a million DPS anyways, two tanks won't do any harm! :P Plus I was thinking of just giving him a greathammer!

Excuse me. I am a tank as well.

and already accepted damn it :F

Tanks yes, strikers yes, healers yes, but virtually no controllers.

Not much utility either.

@Gowi
aw so you want me to scrap the cook shield guy?

@Assallya
we're missing Drake? thought we don't need him

@NarcissisticPotato
Shields only! XD

I think we need to figure out what the dynamic of the party (parties?) is going to be. What characters are geared for what role, etc.

[Evasion] — A passive ability that improves the users ability to dodge

Get outta here ya bruiser! It is known that dodge is synonymous with cowardice, aka not a tank!

Pshaw. You don't need a "Utility" character in a group. If your group needs a Utility task done you simply gank some poor person and force him or her to forge, brew or whatever you need under pain of death. It is your entire group against the poor sod after all. He or she must acquiesce!

well if you guys do that to my guy cuz he can cook...he can take hits so it might take a while XD

also, utility --> tinkers right? if not im cooking...just need a potion brewer and a smithy person

I am planning to have some controlling abilities in my character build. Like an impaling arrow, which is a bind-attack, binding the enemy to the ground... by impaling him with an arrow... if that isn't too much (?)
