In Pursuit of Coin

The Tale of Some Twits Who Tried to Steal a City


Int. Check with Premise


Good, you decided to accept the job. I knew you would, we've done this sort of thing too many times for me to not have a handle on how you operate. You probably know the basics of the city already, financial district's on the north end, residences mainly around the southeast, city center's got the town square and local government, that new museum's over on the west side. If this shit's sounding unfamiliar to you, get a map from the hotel staff when you get in, and memorize it.

You'll be meeting the rest of your team outside rooms 720 and 722 in the Edelweiss Hotel, just by the financial district. Nice place, you can't miss it. Be there at 10:00 sharp Monday morning. Get to know each other, scope out the city, make a plan of attack. When you get to robbing the town blind, the process is a little different than usual. Everything in the city limits is in this huge magic array, spatial quarantine stuff that locks down teleportation, so you'll need to get what you steal out of the city manually before you engrave the runes on it so that I can teleport it off your hands. I'm going to recommend at least a couple of you use the money I gave you for artifacts to buy stuff that'll help with that, so I'm sending you the contact info of the others so you can coordinate on that.

One more thing, this is a huge scale of operation, but I don't want you slacking off. For the first few days, I'm going to expect you guys to get me at least 500 gold worth of stolen goods by 11:59 at night on each day. After a few days have passed and you've gotten situated, I'll amp that up. If you're not able to do that much, you get one pass on screwing up, but on the second screw-up I'm saying fuck it and calling in another team. You don't want that to happen.

If you've got questions either before Monday or during the operation, let me know, but you're smart enough that you probably won't have any.

Good luck, and don't fuck this up.

Just popping by to say that I'll hopefully have my CS up by either tomorrow or the day after, if that's okay. ^.^

Can you expand a bit on how magic works in this world? Is is learned or innate? What type of magic exists? What rules govern it?

@Sisyphus
Approved.

@Natsu
What people call "magic" is essentially the art of using using energy of consciousness, ergo what most would call mental or spiritual "energy", and sacrificing it in tandem with a specific focus. The energy provides a power source, the mind provides a concept to comport it towards, and then when this occurs the world provides a process through which the desired effect is enacted.

Magicians are generally akin to researchers or scholars, people who study the different ways that this energy can be comported for desired ends, and it's fairly common for stronger practicioners of magic to also be very well-versed in science. If you know how fire works, then you can more efficiently create a fire through using spiritual energy to effect combustion than someone who's using spiritual energy to just "make that thing hot".

Certain races are able to generate effects similar to magic by virtue of existing, for instance a phoenix's capacity for rebirth, but this isn't magic in the same sense.

If you have specific questions then I can go further in-depth.

@CandyCoated
Please put the sheet in a hider, and delete the double post.

I'll have to ask that you heavily clean up the sheet on the basis of things like punctuation and grammar.

The personality is closer to a laundry list of a few basic traits than a sketch of a person, and gives little insight as to what she's like.

The history provides almost no detail as to the content of how she did what she did, or her involvement with people such as the employer. Moreover, having a network already based out of Deln is a no-go, as the idea is that the PCs are new to the city. There are some other issues, but I'd like those to be addressed first.

Please explain the breadth of her abilities in detail, rather than just sayings things like "she has some physical spells". Aspects like the limits of her Glamour are similarly necessary.

Details on weapons. See above for the network stuff.

I have no idea what you mean by the first artifact, and the second one requires much more explanation.

Ah, nvm on my character then. My grammar isn't great and neither is my punctuation in genral. I don't mind elaborating on some things, but I spent atleast an hour on the CS and it seems like it all needs to be redone. I understand your needing more details on her abilities and such to prevent god-moding but it's my preference to reveal more personal character details in the actual story since you don't know everything about someone the moment you meet them. I just don't think my writing style is advanced enough for this RP. Sorry for waisting your time!

Oh and I have no idea how to delete a post, but if you need me to delete my posts just let me know how.

Yo, been away for a few days, so I may have to take a bit of time to get caught up with a couple other RPs I'm in, then I'll try and check this out a bit more!

@Moonlit Sonata I'm sorry, I may have jumped the gun here. As much as I'd like to join, I don't think I can manage another group RP at the moment. ^.^"" Sorry for the inconvenience.
