Something Wicked This Way Comes. [Fantasy Quest] [-3 Slots-]

[SmileyJaws]

So the question remains. Does a character get the chop (temporarily)? OR is the merry band of four in fact five?

[GingerBoi123]

@SmileyJawsI mean, it's your rp, so take it in the direction you want

[WilsonTurner]

@SmileyJaws
Well, there's two berserkers/heavy melee.

Notable features are a small scar on his chin and skin tested by the elements.

Class:
Ranger
-Bow & Blade Ranger: Can handle bladed weapons as well, allowing them to defend themselves against approaching enemies or close in for the kill. Ranged is preferred style of combat.

Sword

Bow & Quiver

Dagger

Armor/Clothing:
As seen in picture, will add a better description later.

@GingerBoi123

Name: Darius

Age: 27

Appearance:

Darius stands at 6'1" and is bulky and muscular. He has brown hair and a small scraggly beard, with blue eyes. He has scars all across his body, accumulated from many battles. On his right shoulder, there is a black tattoo which is a skull with two swords crossed beneath it.

Class: Berserker
All combat is done up close, and is great at dual wielding weapons. Darius has skill with swords, axes and polearms, but lacks in weapons that require finesse. He also has a mediocre defence, which can be defeated by skill. Darius brings great strength and ferocity to battle and attacks with a furious rage.

Weapon(s):

Dual wield swords

Armor/Clothing: The light to medium armour is exactly as shown in the picture.

@MarsAdept

Name: Sophia Pax aka "The Red Witch"

Age: 20

Appearance:


Sophia Pax stands about 5 foot 5 inches tall. She has brown hair and matching brown eyes. However, whenever she channels magic her eyes change from brown to a glowing gold color. She wears primarily leather armor to maximize mobility on the battlefield but she does have a little plate mail covering her torso and down left side to give at least some protection to her.

Class: Seeker- To most she is just a talented archer and honestly she likes it that way. However, her power and skills are much more. She also has a great knowledge of herbology. She can identify plants for use in poisons or healing elixirs. She originally got the title the red witch because she crafts potions on her free time.

Weapon(s):
A longbow
steel tipped arrows x40

Armor/Clothing: She wears primarily leather armor to maximize mobility on the battlefield but she does have a little plate mail covering her torso and down left side to give at least some protection to her. When in armor she does not wear a skirt but pants like any man. When she is not in combat, she does however enjoy dresses. She primarily wears a bright, warm red dress, but she can occassionally be seen in cool earth tones.

@WilsonTurner
Name: Sorja the Swift (Sor-ya)
Alias: "Blue Fox"

Age: 25

Appearance:


About 5' 4" tall, with skin that borders on chocolatey (mmm, Hershey's). While not being too terribly large, or at all physically imposing, he's wiry, he's tough, and he's trained. He has unusually dark blue eyes, with a perpetually calm and relaxed expression, however bright and clever his eyes may be.

He has mildly untamable dark brown hair, and a thin, narrow build.

Class:
Rogue/Thief/Assassin

Sorja is a fleet-footed rogue, light on his feet, with above-average instincts and reactions. He knows how to kill, how to pickpocket, how to throw, even how to use a bow, but is best with dagger or shortsword, and can move unseen in most environments and times.

Weapon(s): Two long knives- more like shortswords- that are seen in the image. They're both made of a rare black metal that has no name, because of how rare it is. He also has an assortment of throwing knives throughout his body, and four throwing axes. His shortswords have their own scabbards at either hip, but his throwing axes are over-the-shoulder, with two on each side. He uses them for both melee and ranged combat, and is known to be better with his axe than with most career archers' arrows.

Armor/Clothing: He generally wears what's commonly known as his "moody shit." Black, multi-layered silk with a layer of thicker fine cloth over it forms a light armor of sorts. Dark blue fabric- not dissimilar to his eyes- accents it, and he wears custom blue-steel armguards and greaves.

@SmileyJaws In my humble opinion, I think 5 would work in terms of combat. We have two berserker like characters who will make up the front line. We have twon archers who can attack from the rear and prevent the two on the front line being flanked. One archer can adjust to augment the front line in the event the need arises. My archer can only be range but can provide some medical aid. We have a Rouge/assassin who is the most versatile person here. Dancing around the front line yet able to fall back to support from the rear. Again, I am just saying this to say it.

[Zorogami]

@SmileyJaws Before a head has to roll from the chopping block, i just want to say that i don't have to be another berserker-type character. In all fairness, gingerboi put up his CS before me, so i would not feel comfortable taking a spot like that. My suggestion: Let me come up with another character, I actually love the idea of playing a bard or a monk/melee cclass if it fits the setting? I'll let you think about it and if you say that's fine, i'll put up another CS.

Also, mention me next time please so i know whats going on :P _{said in the nicest way possible}

@MarsAdept

Hadn't thought about it this way. I'd been thinking about micro-managing and so much other shit that the combat style kind of slipped my mind. Give me a second to amend the group list.

@Zorogami

Go for it my man. I'm going to put it down to a muddled head from being awake for too long and in the morning I will be a brighter tool in the box than I have been today. I'm happy I get to RP with you all being honest.

Right, I'm going to remove your berserker from the group list @Zorogami and await your next character. @GingerBoi123 I'm going to add your berserker to the group list and please forgive me for not thinking today. Now I'm off to get a cup of coffee and then I'll be back aha.

[Zorogami]

@SmileyJawsNo harm done, i just think that 5 is a good group and i wouldnt feel comfortable if one of us was left out. What would be more fitting in your opinion? Im thinking that bards are usually somewhat versed in magic, and i don't feel like this rp will be very magic-heavy...so maybe a monk-type of character?

Also, thanks for letting me do this

@Zorogami

I agree with you completely.

Fantasy Character Classes. <--- Great class list.

Yeah in my experience typically a bard specializes in combat and magic often using talents to induce a magical effect. The role-play really isn't going to be magic-heavy at least not this early on.

No need to be thanking me. :)

@MarsAdept

Ahah.
Actually, that's more of a grunt-tactic. As in, when you have a bunch of tanks- whether they are berserkers or shield-bearers- you've generally got a militia or more, with plenty of supporters behind.

You want many more supporters than you do tanks- the tank'll charge in, and the rest will cut away at the enemy while they're distracting, or heal their fellows.

Two warriors- berserkers, no less- isn't a very good idea. Why? They both use big weapons, they both go charging into the fray. Friendly fire is almost guaranteed, especially for literal berserkers. That, and the berserkers, out of battle, will either hate each other or love each other, because of such similar roles.

And yes, I know that one of the berserkers is changing to a bard.

Name: Eusine Alrian

Age: 32

Appearance:


Eusine is about 5,10ft tall and of a lean but muscular build. His head and face are always shaved clean, a staple of warrior wonks. His brown eyes are a pond of calmness and focus, his lips seem to be always smiling as long as he is not in a battle. Eusine's body is covered is several scars, a reminder of his hard and constant training. Unusual for males, the monk wears a golden earring on his right ear.

Class:
Warrior Monk - Eusine relies on his body and staff to take care of his opponents. His fighting style is nimble and quick, and his punches can be devastating if they hit their target correctly. Strength and finesse go hand in hand when the monk takes the battlefield, allowing for unpredictable movement and striking combinations. His protection however is non-existant, as the light wool he wears is no match to any type of bladed weapon, meaning the monk has to rely on his reactions to dodge incoming attacks.

Weapon(s):
*Simple wooden staff
*Leather straps on his fists and palms

Armor/Clothing:
Similar to the picture, pretty much light wool clothing that offers no protection to speak of.

@SmileyJawsHere it is, i hope it lives up to your standard

@Zorogami

It's just about 2am here so I'll be catching some much needed zzz's myself. I have a bit ready but there will definitely be an OOC tomorrow. Looking forward to role-playing with you all. This should be a good 'un!

[SmileyJaws]

Good afternoon guys! I'll get the OOC up soon.

[SmileyJaws]

Okay so it's still a WIP but the bones are there! The OOC is up and waiting!

[Whimsley]

Just missed the mark! Classic fantasy, especially with a darker tone, is my favorite genre. @SmileyJaws If you need someone to join later down the road, I'm your guy.
