[OOC] The Library

[chukklehed]

Kestral, i actualy was going to propose something for the Research branch, making a tool infused with Mana, which can be used as a boost for Pawns who either don't want or can't have surgery.

[Kestrel]

Pawns can advance naturally, actually. All it takes is a PM to me.

[Marrow]

let me rephrase myself. can someone rewrite my spells please?
(kestrel by preference)

[chukklehed]

apparently RPG really doesn't want me posting this message. this is the third try.

Ahem. Sorry, i meant normal people. anyway, the tools would obviously have issues in the first few iterations (such as prolonged use leading to rejection)

[chukklehed]

how does this look Marrow? i limited you to a sword, but made the sword throwable. since it's made of light i assume your character can muster enough strength to do that.

*Light Equip: Eidren summons a two handed sword made from pure light. the sword can be maintained away from him, and dissolved and reformed in his hand regardless of it's position.
Active: A full body armor from pure light envelops Eidren's body - CD ranges from 1 to 3 depending on how many damage the armor has taken
*Righteous might: Eidren calls down a beam of pure light to burn his enemies to cindering crisps
Active: (standard AoE: 3 by 3 meters) The AoE and destructive power of Righteous might gets extended. (1x1 meters and per 3 SPI and SPIx.75 rounded up as extra damage) CD = 8
*Angel Transformation: Eidren receives wings, his eyes also begin to emit light. He will be able to fly and receives an overall buff. (x1.5)
Active: Eidren overexerts the light bestowed upon his body. He gets increased POW, SPI and AGI as well as an overall buff (x2). Resistance to spells and damage form al other sources gets reduces. This power also enhances al his kills and abilities. The downside to this is that Eidren suffers constant damage. The longer he remains in this state the more damage his body suffers. When used for too long this may result in death. Max (safe) Duration 5 turns, CD 3 per turns used.

[Nocturnia]

No, she will have only two abilities for now.

Though I was thinking of a sealment type spell, but those feel kinda OP

[athanshadow]

Name: Purus Allegro (Pura)

Appearance: Pura has a very slender body shape giving him the appearance of weakness. His eyes are a light blue and they look like they are hiding something behind their gentle gaze. He has brown hair that reaches down just above his eyes. He wears a Caesura symbol around his neck.

Bio: Throughout Pura's life he had always been a very talkative person. He would always be finding a way to talk to somebody when he wasn't able to talk in person. Even though Pura had tons of friends and was loved by everyone, he still felt like something was missing. He felt he needed to do something for the world. Something good. A year later, he had bonded with Sonus. Sonus had given him the power to heal people and protect all that he stood for. But only for a price. The moment he made the deal with Sonus, a wave of pain was sent through his throat. When he tried to ask Sonus what happened, not a sound came from his mouth. Sonus stared at him with pity for he had suffered a consequence he wasn't prepared for. After that night, he never talked to anyone and slowly his social life dissapeared. He stopped interacting with people and simply had Sonus as his only company.

Branch: Medical

Holder: Bishop

Spirit: Sonus. Sonus resembles a gentle and beautiful woman who carries around a stringed instrument that resembles a guqin, known as an Etwahl. Sonus tends to speak for Pura due to him being unable to speak and a lot of the time ends up embarrassing him. When Pura needs to use magic, Sonus gives him the etwahl so he can channel his magic. Through use of this etwahl and bonding with Sonus, he is unable to speak as consequences of bonding with her. Sonus tends to look at him with pitty, sorry that he had accepted this burden.

Weapons/Spells: Weapons for Rooks, Spells for Bishops and a combination for Knights. Pawns can ignore this section.

Dissonance: Purus plays dissonistic notes on the etwahl which confuse and anger/scare any enemies nearby.
Active: Purus strikes the ending note of the song with anger and it hurts any enemies listening. CD: 1
Brioso: Purus plays a lively chord on the etwahl that heals his allies in an area around him. He can channel this to a smaller ammount of people to make it more efective.
Active: Purus once again strikes the ending note of the song, not only healing his allies but placing a weak shield around them for a short period of time. CD: 2
Senza Crescendo: Purus, filled with rage. Strikes the etwahl, silencing enemies so they are unable to cast a spell for a short duration.
Active: Purus in turn then is able to empower any spells his allies cast. CD: 2

Skills: Jynx (3), Heal (5), Boon (3) Telepathy (3).

Stats: What are your stats, how much POW, SPI and AGI have you got?
* POW 3
* SPI 12
* AGI 5

Heyo LoL players!

[Nocturnia]

athanshadow said Heyo LoL players!

I play Soraka you know.
Sona is too awkward for me.

[athanshadow]

Sona is a total faceroll champion but her concept is awesome. Lulu is my goddess though.

But yes, I too have troubles with Sona despite her facerollness.

[Nocturnia]

I just take Soraka, sit behind some tank or mage, fill their HP/MP and spam starfall.

[athanshadow]

I just kinda slow people and then use spells on my adc then run away when I'm Lulu XD

[Alphakoka]

Eh, I'll just put this note first, we're roughly in Victorian era setting at the latest.

[Kestrel]

Working on the last bits of the OOC. The mission log is up, although it will be added to as I talk to some of the pre-guildfall members about concluding the missions they were on. A more coherent summary will be made in my first IC post which I hope to be up today or tomorrow.

Anyhow; with the revival I'm sending everyone, veteran and newcomer alike, on new missions. There are as of now three available missions you can choose between. I'll add more after the summaries have been concluded. Of course, if anyone has mission ideas, hit me up.

Also, @veterans because the stats were a bit of a mess and everyone is on a new mission, I'm going to go ahead and say you all also get 20 stat-points (+achievements) to redistribute. The achievement points will be in the OP in a minute, but it'd be great if you all reposted your CS. For those who don't have access yet; https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3O0loPrJIh6eGdfRFFWSU9xNmc&usp=sharing is an archive of all I managed to pull from google caches, where some of your CS may or may not have been retrieved.

For now I'ma continue working on the OP and IC, I'll get back to all the OOC-happenings after.

[Alphakoka]

*grumbles* Oh well, at least I have Arlette's CS, her's pretty annoying to recover if I lost it.

[Valeric]

Whew, I was wondering if I had to mourn the death of my characters... I'm probably going to edit them a tad though. And might as well make previous events a part of their history.

[Kestrel]

Hah, I was almost beginning to think we lost ya ;p Welcome back, Valeric.

[Alphakoka]

Here's what I have on Andre and Arlette.

Andre

Name: Andre Jackson
Appearance: Medium height, tanned, blond, green eyes.
Bio: *grumbles*
Branch: Intelligence

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Shadow

Weapons/Spells:

* Crossbow: A black colored crossbow.
{Active}Splinter Bolt: The bolt shot from this would splinter to smaller pieces in a shotgun like manner, covering larger area and hitting more people. Can splinter up to POW pieces. CD = 4
* Rogue Knife: A thick bladed knife, sharp enough to cut things and strong enough to break lock.
{Active}Bishopbane: A virulent poison coating the reduces stat of its victim upon activation. The coating last for 3 turns. Anyone with 2+ POW than Andre is capable of shrugging the effect, anyone with equal( and +1) POW has 50% chance of shrugging it off. Affected target would a) if POW is equal or +1 than Andre's: lose 1 random point of stat each turn b) lower POW, lose 2 random points of stat each turn (random, it could be 1 pow and 1 SPI instead of 2 SPI, but either way can happen). After losing last point in a stat, would start to receive damage. Poison last long enough that leaving it alone is not an option, go find a medical attention. CD: 5(counts after coating wear off)
* Smeartear gas jar: A prototypical gas grenade with two mode. One mode produce a thick smoke screen, the other produce tear gas (which require POW/SPI roll safe to test if you immediately start crying and rolling on the floor or just feel a mild sting)

Skills:
Binocular 4
Wallflower 3
Scan 5
Dash 1
24/24

Stats: 27
* POW: 9
* SPI: 7
* AGI: 11

Arlette

Name: Arlette Langfeldt

Appearance + Personality: Soft-spoken and naive 16 year old girl. She's short at 156 cm. She has a fair and smooth skin and a slim body and build thanks to her upbringing where she mostly kept to the books. Her brown hair reached a little below her neck and he eyes are dark brown colored. Most people consider her cute not only because her manner but also her lack of feminine curves.

Bio: Arlette had a normal, if somewhat sheltered, life one could expect from people living near the Library Hub. The only thing that marked her life different was the various sighting of herself she saw other than in the mirror as she grew. It was not until her 15th birthday she finally managed to realize that the cause was what she ended up calling her 'Guardian Twin.' She kept her twin a secret from her family and enjoyed the few company she had and the thrill from seeing her 'twin' did something she otherwise won't do. Although some of the actions did were not to her agreement.

However, due to her apparent erratic behavior and the 'ghost' sightings, among other thing, her family called the experts to help with the situation. Although it was not until several complaints of similar nature coming from near vicinity that the Library begun to investigate. After some 'resistance,' the Librarians assigned for it caught the 'twins' red-handed during one of their planning before being sent to the Library for questioning, which shocked Arlette and her family. The latter even more so since they knew there was no twin. The Library soon realized the spirit nature of one of the twins. It didn't take long for them to convince the Holder and ask her parent allowance to join the Library by promising her to pay for her tuition and several other payment.
Branch: Administration (What she was told)
Holder:Knight
Spirit: A Doppelgänger called Mime. A capricious spirit that while will remain silent in its default form, a white-faced man in black clothes and a cap that loosely resemble its namesake, communicating with hand gestures and facial expression, it'll act in exaggerated manner while in disguise, mostly in an attempt to irritate the copied victim or it acted in character. Somewhat mirroring its holder nature, or due to said holder nagging, the spirit does care to not cause too much trouble and thus limited itself with actions that would not cause permanent physical damage or something that cannot be redeemed. Unlike Arlette, however, Mime's not naive and can hold a grudge, going out of its way to cause as much trouble as it could to someone that wronged either or both of them.
For an unknown reason, Arlette is unable to dismiss Mime, who, most of the time, copied the form of its holder. Mime is capable of an extraordinary independence action, proven by its ability to cover a large distance between it and Arlette before being dismissed and summoned back to her side. Current range record: two miles.

Weapons/Spells:
Mimic Form: Mime can copies the outer appearance, down to the voice if the target had spoken, and down to any markings (scars, tattoo, etc.) if it were to touch. It can opt to replace one of its stats with one of the target for the duration of the form. Changing form (even back to default) and desummoning will reset the stat back to normal. Disability and disease will never be copied, although Mime will know about it. Mime cannot change stats without changing form, yet.
{Active}False Identity: Mime can now alter the appearance of others as well as his own by touch. The ability can be applied to everyone but should it be applied to conscious people, the target would have to contest their (POW+SPI)*0.9 against Mime's POW+SPI (Due to the feeling of being changed into someone else is uncomfortable). He can only change the appearance but not the stats. CD is 3 and last as long as Mime doesn't get dismissed or he wanted it to end. Mimic Form shares the CD of this skill.

Outcome:
- If Mime's total is much higher than his target (>3 higher), he can then alter his target as he pleases instantaneously as if its his own body. Limited only by his own limitation and must retain basic form of the transformed. Human must be human (arguably monkey), dog must be dog (can be wolves), cat must be cat (can be tiger).
- The total are equal (anywhere between 2 higher and 2 lower), they effectively swapped appearance. (Including things attached to the body but not things in them)
- Mime has lower total (>3 lower), they swap appearance but the progress is slow and can be interrupted.
Willing target would have the result knocked up by one. Example, Someone has 12 POW+SPI and Mime has 8, if the target's conscious and willing, then the two would swap appearance. If the target's not, then it would be slow. Someone willing with 9 and Mime 8, can be altered as Mime pleases. Unconscious target would never be able to resist.

Mimic Memory: Mime can copies the memory of somebody else (including animals, but mostly human), complete to habit and mannerism should it decide to act in character. It copies by sticking its forehead (assuming both are human or is human looking) to the target. The ability copies from the recent memory backwards up to half a day and could take seconds to minutes. (It's not strictly has to be forehead as long as it's a part of the face.)
{active}False Memory: A reverse version of Mimic Memory. Instead of drawing memory, Mime would impress a single memory, either his own or someone's memory that he copied earlier, to his target. The person receiving it would wholeheartedly believe that the memory is his/her own even if the memory is contradictory. Mime's SPI must be able to overcome his target's SPI/2. Unless the target's a Bishop, in which case, he'll have to overcome 0.75*SPI. CD 3.

Mimic Abilities: Copies the ability of a target. Only one ability at a time and it uses Mimic's own stat at that moment (including copied stat). Cannot copy ability in a post directly after copying the skill. Mime can only grasp basic knowledge of the copied ability without observing first hand or copied memory of the owner.
{active}Copycat: Should the copied ability has an active ability, Mime can now use it using his own stat. CD would be the copied ability's CD+1. While Mime can change the copied ability even after using this skill, the CD persist.

Skills:
Provoke 2
Telepathy 2
Jynx 4
Boon 3

Skill points: 0/19

Stats:
POW: 7
SPI: 8
AGI: 7

[Kestrel]

Stats and achievements added to OP in all their new and fancy google doc glory.

EDIT: All veterans let me know your (new) stats so I can edit them in. Also please recount skills and such because I may have made some mistakes with them. Rule of thumb, total skillpoints = total statpoints - 3

[Kestrel]

chukklehed said *Light Equip: Eidren summons a two handed sword made from pure light. the sword can be maintained away from him, and dissolved and reformed in his hand regardless of it's position.
Active: A full body armor from pure light envelops Eidren's body - CD ranges from 1 to 3 depending on how many damage the armor has taken

A little more specific on the active, like it absorbs up to a max of 3 hits, with each hit being a turn of CD. Other than that, yeah exactly.

*Righteous might: Eidren calls down a beam of pure light to burn his enemies to cindering crisps
Active: (standard AoE: 3 by 3 meters) The AoE and destructive power of Righteous might gets extended. (1x1 meters and per 3 SPI and SPIx.75 rounded up as extra damage) CD = 8

1.75*SPI is far too high, even with 8 CD. put it to 1.3 or so and we're good.

*Angel Transformation: Eidren receives wings, his eyes also begin to emit light. He will be able to fly and receives an overall buff. (x1.5)
Active: Eidren overexerts the light bestowed upon his body. He gets increased POW, SPI and AGI as well as an overall buff (x2). Resistance to spells and damage form al other sources gets reduces. This power also enhances al his kills and abilities. The downside to this is that Eidren suffers constant damage. The longer he remains in this state the more damage his body suffers. When used for too long this may result in death. Max (safe) Duration 5 turns, CD 3 per turns used.

The active is, in spite of the self-mutilitation far too powerful. Either make it damage Eidren badly and give it 1 turn with 1.5 stat boosts, or lower the boost and to get more turns. Like 1.25 with 3 or so. The stat-buff on the default has to go, cause flight = spellslot (see OP.)

Name: Purus Allegro

Looks good, mostly, but I'd like a resistance check for Crescendo and a specification for it's active boost.

Welcome then.

I'm going to say no for now, mostly because it'd add a ton of things to the setting I'm not ready to incoroporate at this point. But I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Here's what I have on Andre and Arlette.

Check out the stats link and fill the remaining 20 in any way you like. Well, as long as they match up with the SKILLS requirements that is ;p

[Alphakoka]

Wheee, 100th post!

And there you go, stat put in.
