@KRIEEEG
Don't want to be annoying, but I'm waiting on you to post my bro.

[Turbowraith]

@Pikmin Eye
Reason to unite, you say? How about we summon forth convenient plot direction with @KRIEEEG's crystal ball, which the skeleton happens to possess?

@Turbowraith

Too obvious and not bloody enough.

@Banana Your post is coming tomorrow morning, filled with rebirth oportunities, deus ex machina plot movers, world lore and more blood!

I was just hoping someone else died so I could put more world lore into it. Who knows? Maybe by tomorrow I have an extra gob to talk to lady death.

[Gardevoiran]

@KRIEEEG
WAIT A MINUTE WAIT JUST A GOD DAMNED MINUTE

@Oraculum is holding my body...

If I turn into the firey pumpkin-lich that was originally planned, then the spider will surely die.

[Pikmin Eye]

My bad on the delay. Haven't had time to fully sit down and write this out. It's time once again for "How bad can I make this situation?" Death of something will happen, that is almost becoming the only possible outcome. It might go well, we could sit down for some tea and be civilized someday. Or something bigger comes along and we turn this blood lust onto it instead of each other.

[KRIEEEG]

@Banana

Two things:

1- Don't worry about your possible ressurection

2- I truly hate spiders

[Gardevoiran]

@KRIEEEG
No i'm not worrying, I just wanted to point that out.

@Pikmin Eye If you don't die, then the spider will definitely.

Name: Fafnir Sigurd, Dragonmancer
Appearance:

In armor

Without armor

Race: Draconic Human (Human augumented by dragon's blood.)
Class: Knight, Druid (Dragonmancer)
Current Equipment:
-A long poled spear. The blade of the spear is made of steel and it is augumented to be especially heat resistant, and can channel heat through its shaft and into the blade.

-An iron-reinforced leather armor and tunic.

-A set of iron-clad knight armor he stole, as well as an iron short sword.

Background: Fafnir was born into a cult of dragon worshippers, bearing the nicknaming 'hellfire apostles'. It was their center belief that the only way humans can achieve perfection is to become dragons. They belief in a dragon deity named Kilgarrah, who they claim is the god of all dragons, and will either use wild dragons or build statues and other monuments to figure head their religion. Whether it be a living dragon or a simple object, they will often perform sacrifices, both of humans and beasts, to appear their dragonlord. Offerings such as living victims, gold, and the dragonsbane herb, are offered in a bonfire, and if they have the chance, they will appease their dragons with feeding them live sacrifices. Live dragons are either wild dragons that have adapted to being fed by these delusional mortals, or weaker ones are often captures and held in dungeons, showered with treasures and meat to suffice the beast. Inbetween their religious ceremonies and sacrifices, they did hold one truth amidst their madness, and that was the power of dragons. They have written a spellbook in draconic that lists many different spells or 'facts' about kilgarrah.

Fafnir was percieved as the prodigy child upon birth, due to him being born of the cult's leaders. Showering him with appraisal inbetween the abusive rituals he was forced to partake with, carving runes in his skin, and forced into such horrendous sacrifices, Fafnir was further raised upon the many spells and magics of the dragon worshiping cult. He was said to be of the cult's 'dragonmancers' those that are chosen by Kilgarrah to obtain the full powers of a dragon. In order to become a dragonmancer, one must first let the blood of a dragon's seep through the runes carved in the flesh by the cult, then they must drink that blood afterwards. Though Fafnir would be the first and last of this title. At the age of 18, Fafnir looked upon their imprisoned dragon, Fenrir. Though this dragon couldn't speak, Fafnir knew it wanted to escape, he saw what the other cultists didn't, and that was how absurd their faith was. Fafnir had no emotional connection to the cult, they had never raised him to feel such a connection of family. He decided at that day, that he didn't need some cult to achieve perfection. He used what powers he had been granted too in order to exterminate the cult, freed Fenrir who he ascended into one of his spirit dragons, and sent fourth on a quest to meet his own goals.

Upon his journey, he would bond with a select few other dragons, pillage villages and travelling caravans for treasures, and fashion himself his spear and armor. Honing his powers further without the guidelines of a book. It is his goal to become the ultimate force that there is, and to bring dragons for their rare and endangered state into a plague that forces all creatures, monsters and humans, into submission at the lower end of the food chain. For now though, since he doesn't wish to provoke other monsters that may be stronger then his current state, let alone overwhelm him, he plays along to help them against the human forces until he is ready to claim dominion over the world.

Powers:

Draconic Traits

He can lift up to 10 tons on his own in terms of strength, sprint as fast as a wolf with great endurance, and can tolerate pain extensively well. His eyes also glow in the dark like dim candles.

Affinity to Fire

Like all dragons, Fafnir has an affinity towards flames. He cannot be burned by any means, be it blasted by an explosion, submerged in molten rock, or blasted by plasma energy, no part of his body, inside or out, will be burned or damaged by heat alone. While he cannot receive chemical burns, powerful acids and bases can still erode or chemically break down his body. He can channel flames from out of his body by through more of a supernatural biology rather then simply magic. He can only create flames by using his body as its source, but he can breathe flames, shoot fireballs, ignite his body on fire, etc. Currently he can create flames hot enough to melt iron, and can shoot fireballs with the explosive force of a frag grenade.

Dragon Evocation

Unlike his fire ability, Evocation of dragon spells is magic.

Roar of the Hellkites

He can let out a terible roar or shout of destructive volume. Intense sound waves and raw air pressure spreads around him in a 15m radius as a result.

Armor of the scalelords

He can morph his skin into the scales of a dragon. The scales are green and plated, and are as durable as steel.

Ascension of the Sky tyrants

He can grow a pair of leathery wings along his back, allowing flight.

Stomp of the Wyrm

His punch, kick, or stomp can create a massive shockwave of pressure upon casting this spell. It can send a small shockwave around him along a ground surface, or launch enemies back with great and powerful force.

Bolt of the Stormcallers

He can shoot a bolt of electricity from his arm, which expands and takes form of a massive serpentine dragon. The electricity is colored of black and red light, and can inflict great force and heat in addition to a powerful voltage shock.

Guardian of personal treasures

With the souls of his spirit dragons, Fafnir can become protected by serpentines, ghastly spirits of his bonded dragons. The spell becomes stronger with each dragon he bonds with. Based upon how many dragons he has, each bonded dragon is represented as a spirit of a serpentine form. In this form, they can coil and surround Fafnir, shielding him from both physical and energy based attacks, they can also be used offensively, launching towards opponents and rushing towards them. They can be damaged by anything that could physically touch or hurt ghosts, as well as magic energy.

Summons

He can summon dragons he has ascended with his magic into his personal spirit dragons. These dragons are eternally bound to Fafnir until death. Once summoned, if they die they can be re summoned after a year's worth of recovery. He can only summon a single dragon at a time.

Fenrir

Classification: Dragon, drake subgroup, species Megalania Dracolupas

Weighing about 1,3016 pounds, Fenrir is 23 feet in length (10 feet from head to back, and another 13 feet from back to the tip of his tail), and will typically stand 6 feet in height, although on the occasion when he stands on his hind feet that height differs obviously. He is clad in forest-green, plated scales that are as durable as iron, with three toed claws and canine-like legs, and a moderately long tail. He has a sharp row of scuted plates along his back to the tip of his tail, and a sharp row of spines running along his chest. His narrow, saurian head possesses a pair of horns and two reptilian eyes that gleam a faint yellow light in darkness.

Skills:

Nightvision

His glowing eyes can allow great viability even in the darkness of night.

Tracker

Fenrir has an excellent sense of smell, especially with his forked tongue, so much so that he can rival a blood hound's tracking skills.

Bio-armor

With scales as strong as iron it is difficult to damage the dragon.

Firebreather

Like many dragons Fenrir can breathe a jet of flames from his mouth. His breathe weapon can shoot flames either in a straight cone with a 20 feet reach, or a 10 feet spread of fire.

Trusty mount

He is loyal-for-life to Fafnir, and is a well sported mount.

All-Terrain

Fenrir can sprint up to 55 mph with good distance, and can maneuver over rough terrain easily and can even climb to some extent, while he can't dive well he can still swim fairly well on his own.

Stealthy Hunter

Again, like a wolf, he can be surprisingly very stealthy and quiet when he wants too, moving silently along the ground and stalking prey with ease due to his nature.

Ferocious

He'll eat just about anything, living or dead given the chance, with the exception of plants. This tends to be a problem when going into town that is ripe with a human population that the beast will see as food, and will gladly sneak a bite while Fafnir isn't looking.

Fireproof

Like every other typical lesser dragon, it is impossible to harm him with fire and heat.

Old but Young

Dragons are notorious for their seemingly indefinite natural longevity, Fenrir is no exception as he is already 300 years old and has served under two masters before Fafnir, making the beast well experienced.

Faithful Companion

He will never leave Fafnir's side, to the point where he would give his own life for his beloved master.

Stopping Power

Its no surprise that the dragon is incredibly strong, whether it is tearing another monster apart or ramming its horns full speed into an unlucky prey item.

Foul mouth

His bite is somewhat lethal, not just in how sharp the teeth are or in how powerful his bone-crushing jaws are. His canines are laced with a weak but interesting venom that prevents blood from clotting, and causes fatigue in its victim. While even minor wounds can lead to fatal blood loss, the venom itself is easy to combat. A healthy immune system alone could knock it off within a day's rest, and the wounds can be treated with bandages to stop the bleeding. Symptons of the venom increase over time while the victim is awake, however, in addition to growing increasingly weary and unable to naturally stop blood from flowing from wounds, a victim that stays conscience for more then 5 minutes will start to feel an intense burning pain, followed by blurry vision and hearing, prone to vomiting, and becoming drained of endurance. The venom also can make the wounds become infected should they go untreated within a day.

Weaknesses

-His underbelly is not as hard as the rest of his scales, and can be vulnerable to cut or stab.
Being cold blood it is difficult for Fenrir to survive in cold climates, ice being a tactical weakness.

-Dragonsbane can repel or deter almost any dragon of Kilgarrah's origin, as they cannot stand the mere scent of the plant. Fortunately it is a rare herb that only grows in certain mountain peaks of Drake Valley.

@KRIEEEG@Banana
I am warning you people. If the spider dies (which will probably ensue in him being stuck in some dark afterlife corner, as it happens), the fat tick-summoning mind flayer might just become a reality.

[KRIEEEG]

@Oraculum What's up with you trying to make me throw up all the time man?

[KRIEEEG]

@dragonmancer

I like the concept, but let me get one thing straight:

You have a warrior/mage hybrid with super strenght who's able to fly or create an iron armor around his body capable of using destruction magic and summoning dragons. In MMO terms, you have a DPS CC Mage Tank that also has summons. This character is possibly stronger than the entire party combined. He'd be a great boss, but he doesn't really fits in the power level of the party.

To make things fair, I'd have to tailor the entire campaing to gimping your character.

I like the concept, but I'd tone it down quite a bit. I'll leave what to downgrade up to you, but here's my sugestion:

- Remove the Dragon summon.
- No super strenght OR no magic. An option would be being as strong as a human can be while having some magic abilities.
- Guardian of personal treasures is way too strong of an ability. Invulnerability with offensive powers is not balanced at all. I'd completely remove it.

@6slyboy6 @Banana

Take a look at Dragonmancer's character and let me know what you think of it.

[6slyboy6]

@dragonmancer

He'd be a great boss, but he doesn't really fits in the power level of the party.

@KRIEEEG

Yup, pretty much what I thought. Remember THAT thing we talked about in PM? He'd be perfect for that.

@dragonmancer Look man, I respect the effort you put into the CS. Its well written, and almost non cliché at some points. However, as stated above, our current party is not on the same level. If you were to nerf the dragon summon (remove it) choose only 2 spells, and reduce the effect of all natural buffs (faster than human, little more agile, strenght of an orc, takes moderate dmg from fire) then I could see you being a good party member. But for now, you are not only barely fitting into the whole context of the RP, but straight on kicking it in da ballz.

Ps.: We intend to make our characters het stronger over time, so can yours. Also I'd give you a debuff, like requires daily 2 hours of sunbathing to regain energy, obscene amounts of food needed, etc etc

[6slyboy6]

On just a slightly different note, I think we should time skip soon.

[Gardevoiran]

@dragonmancer
With what the other two said, he's just a bit OP. Not that I have a problem with that for combat reasons, but it would make things dull fast.

For my recommendations, we do have a mage in the party. If you went with low knowledge in magic, you could maybe learn a few spells from my character, or you could do the opposite and be rather scrawny initially and have a good magical aptitude, and learn from the Orc or the Ogre how to be strong physically.

Or nerf both and keep your dragon powers. Just limit to only one at a time.

Being fireproof is another thing I noticed. That doesn't seem that bad to me, but in some situations it could be just plain op. I'd make it so he takes heavily resisted fire damage, but not enough to completely immune himself to it. You can say you're immune to fire, but if someone comes up and literally drops the sun on you, it's no question that you're going to get destroyed.

For little things, here we go.
- Lower his strength greatly. Keeping it high is fine, but he will need to struggle to keep it if it's like 2 tons.
- Dragon summon needs removal or great nerf.
- He can be a bit slower.
- Pain tolerance is fine, but don't have him be like "oh i'm good" after his leg was just removed completely.

Those are my notes.

[KRIEEEG]

Post made. Shitty as hell as I'm now coughing blood.

[Gardevoiran]

@KRIEEEG
Don't die, we're already losing a goblin.

[KRIEEEG]

@Banana I don't think I'll die, but I'm into some heavy ass painkillers. Hard to keep track of what you're writing for more than a line or two.

[Gardevoiran]

@KRIEEEG
you can do it

[BayRat]

Apologies for my sheet I wasn't sure of the level of this rp. With this in mind I'll have to brainstorm a bit. Even with the nerfing options you gave me I feel as though I should make an entirely different CS altogether, for example, I had the thought of

WIZLIZ, The Wizard Lizard Kobold

[Gardevoiran]

@dragonmancer
Either way man, I'm looking forward to a dragon or a kobold on the team.
