[OOC] Familiar Familiars (place holder title)

[Snarl]

Intro

(note this rp is based off of the gba game of Summonnight. No knowledge of the game is needed to rp this successfully)

The island of Priam is a crescent shaped slab of rock off the coast of Senefer, a vast continent of forest, desert, and tundric terrain. Your character has come to (or has always) lived here, in the village of Degar. Where many flock from all over to learn the craft of weapon forging and to strengthen their skills. The profession of beast taming is to not only forge weapons but use them to protect the defenseless from the wild summon beasts surrounding sanctuaries (cities and places under protection) alongside their Guardian Beast. The monsters surrounding the cities have begun to show signs of being tainted- their violence increases by the day. It has been rumored that their behavior is linked to a cult that lives in the wild- placing the beasts under a spell to enrage them so they can push their own agenda.

The force up against this cult is the Order of beast tamers known across Senefer as the Guild. They are the elite- the strongest in all of the land. They are legends in their own right. The capital is their home. All young apprentice tamers revere their names; Andras of Storms along with his Griffin beast is the Knight of Thunder, Talitha of the Abyss and her oni guardian claim Knight of Fire, Brogan the Bad along with his sharktoothed tiger beast is the Knight of Wind, Gyuri is the Knight of water alongside his serpent beast.

And so the goal of all beast tamers is to train and join the forces that the Order leads- to defend Senefer from all evil.

Premise/expectations

A simple rp where the characters have their own creature and have the ability to tame other monsters. The players will be part of a notorious guild, but will start off in one of the smaller, lesser known branches. Originally tasked with creature population control and keeping them off of farmland, the guild has increasingly encountered the same problem. Tainted monsters have begun appearing, spreading disease that has begun to kill the landscape. The source of the diseased creatures must be found and stopped, to restore balance to the land.

**Roles have to be filled for this roleplay. Meaning your starting creature will be given to you by me based on the role you choose below. The RP starts after I assign you your creature. You can either have your character be a newly joined Guild member or a current member.

This role-play will consist of the characters traveling as a group all over the island, killing tainted monsters, finding treasures, learning about the world around them, crafting weapons, completing quests and, simply put, becoming legends.

Beast Tamers
Tamers are born, not made. At a certain age (the average is between 18 and 23, but beasts have appeared as late as into someones 30s) their Guardian Beast will be summoned. These intelligent creatures are bound to their tamer for life. Since there are so few tamers on the island and so many monsters, it is required by law that all gifted join the Guild. Life in the Guild, until recently, is straightforward; protect people from monsters and protect monsters from people. Keep the balance and all will be well.

Roles

The Rogue (a stealth class. The Rogue’s beast aids them in keeping out of sight)

TAKEN The Cleric (the healer. Their beast will have some healing ability.) for iHxzardx

The Ranger (like the rogue but less focused on stealth and more on speed. Their beast, like them, will be a wild card)

My CS

Roque's face

Roque Turilo/25/m

Occupation: a knight commissioned by the Guild to be stationed in Degar to teach apprentices.
Weapon specialty:

Axe

Summon Beast:

Carthanach

A behemoth battle hyena. He's 9 feet at the shoulder. His skull is the size of a hay cart. Weighing in at 550 lbs of muscle. The lumbering beasts mouth smells like a morgue. His growls sound like demons being butchered with a blunt sword. His horrendous appearance speaks nothing for his attitude, however- he acts like an over sized puppy when with Roque.

Personality: rough and rugged describe Roque well. When given a task he must see it through. He pushes his students hard because he believes struggle is the most efficient way to become stronger. He's patient and has a keen sense of control over his emotions. Its difficult for him, however, to concede defeat or error. Roque loves glory and power- and at times he may seem bloodthirsty and ambitious.

Bio: He graduated from the Militial Academy of the capital a year ago- a division that some craftknights take when they plan on reaching the ranks that work alongside the Order and the Elemental Knights. However he was chosen to return to Degar and teach. It disappointed him that he would not be needed in the battles up north- but he had no say in the decision.

Rules and Requirements

1. Follow Guild rules
1.5 at least 2 paragraphs per post.
2. Don't machine gun the IC. Meaning don't just rp with one other person for pages and pages without waiting for others to post. Be patient.
3 If you plan on leaving post in OOC how long you will be gone (or pm me) so i don't kill off your character for being inactive for so long.
4. I don't tolerate OOC fights. I'll kill your character and kick you out of the roleplay if you're being an asshole.
5. Anything over PG13 must be taken to PM.
6. by doing this rp you accept the fact that your character may die, be disfigured, be tainted, or any other type of malady I come up with for the sake of an interesting rp.
7. Same goes for your Guardian beasts.

[Snarl]

The World

The Main Land (North)

The Capital

The Crystal Queen rules at the cities heart. Her royal guard is none other than the infamous Order, the elite knights of Senefer. The capital is also home to the Guild. Many flock here for knowledge, fortune, or both.

Priam (East)

Degar

Where the roleplay begins. Degar is like the capital of the island. It was once one of the safest cities in all of Priam- although this standard has changed since the rise of the Maw. Still, many apprentice craftknights flock here to be sworn into the service, receive their beasts, and begin their journey to become the heroes of the land.

Eastern Point

Many make the trek to the shrine here, praying to their gods. The taint has not yet reached this place. Gentle creatures graze here.

The Ruins

Example Appearances

or

Guardian Beasts (Elements/spells/skills)

All Guardian Beasts start off with an element- this is their aligned element that is linked to the dimension that they come from. However- this does not mean that your creature cannot develop a new element or learn new skills and spells from other elements.

How Guardian Beasts develop new abilities:
Your Guardian Beast holds great potential. Despite who they were in their previous dimension- they reach Priam being able to do very little element-wise. Meaning they (for a wind element, for example) could only use small bursts of wind for attacks or (for water aligned) manipulate water into attacks.

New moves and skills can be learned simply through training alongside and befriending your creature. Roque has studied each element and knows exactly what each creature would need to reach their next level of ability.

As for the mechanics of the rp and how this will work- I'll be handing out the abilities to your creatures. Once I feel like your character and creature have grown enough. All new abilities start off weak. I’ll update you each time their abilities increase in power. I’ll make mentions in my world posts, for example: [Name of Beast] can now spit fire! (weak) and Update!: [Name of Beast] can now spit fire [mild]

**the scale will be Weak, Mild, Strong and Full Potential. if you want examples of what exactly that looks like in the world I’ll provide an example with each update.

Honor System

*wip. This section will be constantly revised throughout the course of the rp. Check it often.

Read more here

All characters start off with 0, or neutral, honor. This system determines how the world treats your character. Honor can be gained based on positive interactions with the world/story/other characters. Honor points can be taken away and even dip into the negatives based on negative interactions with the world/story/other characters. Your creatures will also change based on your honor.

With neutral honor the world will be fair towards your character. Townsfolk do not know your character. Merchants will sell their wares at normal prices.

With positive honor the world as a whole will favor your character more. Townsfolk begin to recognize you and even know your name (certain levels of honor gain you fans, which may lead to gifts). Merchants mark down your prices and some even offer to show you their rarer items for sale. Taverns mark down their room prices. NPCs are friendlier toward your character and are more willing to help you. Gentler monsters are more willing to be tamed by your character. In contrast, groups of outlaws and bandits will not trust you. Tainted monsters target you more.

With negative honor the world as a whole will not favor your character as much. Townsfolk will know your name, yes, but their respect will be out of fear. Certain levels of negative honor will cause Townsfolk to avoid you and refuse to work with you, or outright act aggressive towards you. Merchants will mark up their prices or refuse to sell to you altogether. Taverns will not let you stay. NPCs act negatively towards your character, although some will favor them. Monsters in general will not trust you. Negative honor, however, gives you the ability to tame tainted monster. Bandits and outlaws will know you and treat you with respect and sometimes even kindly. You'll have access to an underground network of items and things if your Dishonor is high enough.

Taming/Slaying Systems

All that Info

A major component of this rp is taming monsters. When your player successfully tames a monster the following happens: a gate is opened and the creature returns where it came from, your players stats increase, your creatures stats increase and they may gain an ability. Some creatures drop items when the gate closes.

How to Tame Monsters

Each Guardian Beast knows a simple spell to banish creatures back through gates. For the spell to work, though, the beast must be held still or knocked unconscious. However, most tamers simply craft a weapon imbued with the spell. Once the creature is defeated it will automatically be transported through a gate, not killing it in the process.

Basic rules:
1.Not all monsters are tameable. This includes: other Guardian Beasts.
2. Your player can only tame monsters weaker or at the same level as they are. Meaning your tamer dressed in rags, armed with a spoon and their teeny puffball companion cannot and will not tame a three headed dragon.

Slaying

Another major component is slaying monsters. This usually pertains to hunting down tainted or otherwise dangerous monsters. Monsters are also hunted for food, crafting items, and population control. When a player successfully slays a monster the family may happen: your players stats increase, your creatures stats increase and they may gain an ability. The monsters body can then be harvested for crafting items (but only if stated in the post)

For example:
GM Post: A wolf jumps out of nowhere and attacks your character. It is weaker than your character. Likelihood of your character winning is 70%. Possible drop items: fang, wolf pelt, gold.
Your post: I kilt him. here is how he death.
GM Post: [your characters name] has successfully killed the wolf. They gain some experience. You can collect the wolves pelt. Your Guardian is now more familiar with how the wolves of this area fight.

How to Slay Monsters

Slaying monsters is part of the job. And this is done by simply killing them with weapons not enchanted with the Gate spell.

How to Increase stats

Leveling will be a component in this game, but it’ll be mostly just for me. I’ll be keeping little profiles on each of your characters so I can determine how the world treats them. I promise I’ll be fair. Stat points will be dished out along with honor. So basically: if your character reads some scrolls found out on a mission, their intelligence increases. If they defeat a bunch of monsters last mission? Their strength increases. etc etc. But remember I determine the number of monsters encountered and if your character stumbles across an item.

Play normally and don’t worry about leveling. I’ll be keeping track.

Post Order.

Its necessary for the systems of this rp. So here’s how the IC thread is probably going to look.

Example (saying there are 6 players plus GM)

GM Post: The world setting is blah blah. The mission is kill all of the monsters. There are 8 wolves, which are weak to all magic elements. Wolf A and B attack player 1, they may need help. Wolf C watches player 2, what is it plotting.. Wolf D attacks player 3, this creature is desperate and weaker than the others. Wolf E circles player 4, it is much larger and slower than the others, but definitely stronger. Wolf F keeps its distance from player 5, it might have a rare item. Wolf G and H attack player 6, they may need help. All players can successfully tame or kill these creatures.

Player1: Manages to take down one of the wolves and weakens the other.
P2: Shoots a blast of magic at the wolf to kill it.
P3: Is bitten but fights off the wolf, intending to kill it.
P4:Uses a Gate enchanted weapon to tame the wolf.
P5: Attacks wolf F to kill it.
P6: Panics and runs.

GM: Wolf A is dead, its pelt can be collected. Weakened Wolf B runs from Player 1, their Guardian is now more familiar with how to fight the wolves of this area. Wolf C is dead, its pelt can be collected, P2’s companion has fought wolves often enough to learn how to Bite (weak) like them. Wolf D is dead, its bite left a minor injury to Character 3 (-2 health, +bleeding), its fangs can be collected, P3’s Guardian is now more likely to land critical damage against wolves. Wolf E is successfully tamed, P4’s creature has learned enough about Wolves to learn when they are near. Wolf F is dead, a pearl falls from its mouth and can be collected along with its pelt, P5’s creature has fought wolves often enough now to learn how to Eat (passive) like them. Wolves G and H give chase.

Player1: collects the pelt and ignores P6.
P3: Ignores the pelt and helps P6, attacks wolf H.
P2: collects pelt and sends Guardian to distract Wolf G.
P5: Attacks wolf G intending to kill it.
P6: *does not post a reply
P4: *does not post a reply

GM: *after waiting a day or two for P6 and P4 to reply* Player1 now has (-2 honor) for ignoring a team mate in need. Player3 (+3 honor) for valuing a teammate over items, Wolf H is dead, its pelt and fangs can now be collected. Player2 (+2 honor) for helping a teammate, Wolf G is distracted. P5 (+2 honor) for helping a teammate, Wolf G is dead, its pelt, fangs, and some gold can now be collected. (Followed by a short summary of the now completed mission, my characters comments etc)

Lute Astein

Appearance

Name: Lute Astein

Age: 18 (just turned)

Gender: Female

Role: Cleric

Armor: She is a long range cleric that heals from behind the fight she she usually just wears Cloth dresses and tunics

Weapon: Spear, She uses this only in extreme circumstances

Guild status: Newly joined but her skills make her no ordinary recruit, she is already working with a team in hunting down dangerous mutations.

Stats!
Health: 8
Strength: 8
Charisma: 16
Intelligence: 14
Agility: 14

Personality: Very very sweet little girl, she makes most people smile just as she walks by, the air seems cleaner around her and she helps in every way she can. She hates it when people get hurt and enters a very focused mode when someone does get hurt, she isent the sweet little girl until said person was healthy and walking.

Bio: She has lived on the islands for her whole life, She never knew her parents or any other family for that matter besides the old lady that took her in and she has seen as her mother (Recently passed away). Lute would have been an extremely vulnerable little girl if her beast was never summoned, defenseless and weak. Now that it is summoned however it has been an immense blessing in Lute's life giving her companionship and comfort as she tries to take on the world as the little girl she is.

If I may, I request a Great Wolf for her. Though I know I cannot choose her animal...

[Snarl]

@iHxzardxAccepted! Move her over to the Character section when you can.

Edit: Lets see what she gets c:

My App

Appearance:
Name/Age(18+)/Gender: Samuel Spark/19/Male
Role: Ranger

Armor:

Weapon:

Guild status: Already part of the guild since young age, yet not an official member as they don't know about him being a tamer yet. He feels at his best when hunting, but is happy with any chores his 'mentor' gives him.

Stats!
Health: 10
Strength:10
Charisma: 13
Intelligence: 14
Agility: 13

Personality: He likes to stick on his own at times, but is a smooth talker mostly. However, he prefers the best way in handling with trouble is from afar. Having others doing stuff for him, or just staying away from trouble at all. He is loyal though, and once you get to know him well he will never abandon you when in danger. His weakness lies in him being a bit shy, and even though he can talk his way out of most situations, when he is in immediate danger solely on his own he has trouble facing it.
Bio: Living in the woods as long as he could remember, his parents were hunters and intended on making him grow up like one as well. At an age of 10, while being attacked by a creature he couldn't recognise and terrified in fear as he saw his parents get killed right in front of him, he ran deep into the woods untill he ran into his 'mentor', a tamer veteran from the Guild. Telling them what happened to his parents, they decided to take him in and bring him to the guild. Some of the others were sceptic about having such young boy in the guild, but having no other place to go, they decided he could help them out with chores.

They soon found out about him being a very good and especially intelligent hunter. He could easily talk his way out of chores he didn't like and into chores he did like, except when it was his 'mentor' telling him to do something, as he listened to them without any delay. Appearantly the incident involving the creature left a bond between him and his savior. He was very skilled in setting traps and taking down wild animals. Even though they didn't know he was a tamer till then, they knew he had potential so they kept training him.

Guardian Beast
<reserved>

I thought it would be cool to have some kind of father/mother figure in the Guild that Samuel could look up to. I named them his 'mentor' so either someone else wanting to join could make a character being this 'mentor' or maybe @Snarl could NPC them.

[Snarl]

@NightmareIndAccepted! And I'll keep that in mind and offer it when all the roles are taken.

[Legion02]

Working on my character! Will probably be finished tomorrow!

Hider

Appearance:

Hider

Name/Age(18+)/Gender: Lothar Wolff/20 Years Old/Male
Role: The Cavalier

Armor:


Weapon: A stiletto that bares his family's crest.

Guild status: He's a current member that joined a little over a year ago. For the most part, he's been dealing with a lot of support tasks for the guild (IE. Meeting with communities leaders, representing the guild, and just trying to present a friendly face on behalf of the guild) since he has quite a bit of training and skill in that area. However, when needed, he does go out on missions to help subdue larger monsters.

Stats!
Health: 12
Strength:11 (Determines how strong your character is)
Charisma: 14 (determines how well your character can barter and deal with the world socially, also influences how NPCs view your character a bit)
Intelligence: 12 (determines your characters wit)
Agility: 11 (how quick and nimble your character is)

Personality: Lothar is a guy who holds himself and others to a high standard. In fact, he expects everyone to do their best and accomplish things efficiently; however, since it's unreasonable to constantly hold people to these standards, so he learned after all these years, those who do meet his expectations are granted his trust. So, in order to get on his good side, it's rather straightforward, but getting there is another story. Otherwise, he is someone who has a strong sense of duty and ethics. Everything that he does has some sort of reason behind it, and it is strange for him to not do anything for no particular reason. It would be reasonable to consider him a to be a driven individual, but it's just that he thinks in terms of steps that have to be taken for his goals to be accomplished. In general, he is a polite and formal man who does his best to avoid causing trouble or enemies. However, there are those few who are simply malevolent in his eyes. Those few people that he considers his enemies should worry as he is a vengeful being.

That said, there are some interesting and unexpected quirks that he has. One of the most notable is that he is rather awkward around females around his age. Older women? Not a problem as he treats elders repectfully. "Would you like me to help you with those bags, Ma'am?". Younger girls? They remind him of how he used to wish he had a cute younger sister. "Miss, you shouldn't be out in the forest by yourself at night. It's dangerous." There are a few others, but it's better to see them naturally than to spoil them all in some vague description.

Bio: Lothar is the first son in a family of wealthy merchants. While not of a particularly influential background, the last few generations of the Wolff family had turned a small business into a sprawling company that has garnered much respect in Senefer. Originally, his family plan was to have Lothar join the military and rise through the ranks in order to help bring more political clout for the family as it strives to even higher places and eventually titles. Thus, Lothar was raised and educated as if he were a rising lord. He was taught on matters of economics, military tactics, courtly manners, and etc. Lothar understood the importance of his role for the family. However, he occasionally did have stray thoughts of regret. He did not hate the expectations of his family, but everything that he did was for the family. Nothing was through his own initiative. Still, he followed through with his family's plan. When he was of age, he would be sent to join the military as an officer as his family had bought him a commission. From there, he would meritoriously serve her Majesty and gain influence and relations that would help the family.

Thus, when he was finally old enough, Lothar was shipped off. However, soon after, his Guardian Beast appeared. That's when his family's plans were derailed, but not completely in a bad way. Now, Lothar had the chance to join the Order. However, there was little that his family could do for him in his journeys. For once, he could make his own path. Thus, he went off to Degar, eager to embrace this new opportunity. Thankfully, Lothar isn't an only child. Rather, he does have one sibling, an older sister, who has a very sharp business acumen. Thus, while he is away, the Wolff family isn't too troubled, but that's a story for another day.

@Heyitsjiwon Try a hider for the whole thing

[Legion02]

Allisander Greinser

Name: Allisander Greinser
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Role: Theurgist

Equipement

Armor


Weapon

A small orb he can control with his mind. The control field is about 20m in diameter, 360° all around him. Allisander can make the little sphere fly around within the control field with his mind (but for it to be really effective weapon his hands must aid in the control). As it flies around it is used as a blunt weapon or, if he chooses to, he can launch it out of his field as a one-time-use ranged weapon. An unfavorable option as it would leave him defenseless.

Guild status: For a very long time Allisander herded peaceful, hulking creatures around (something which he quickly started to hate because of how boring it was) but recently he’s been sent in part of a team to hunt down more dangerous monsters.

Stats
Health: 11
Strength: 15
Charisma: 10
Intelligence: 14
Agility: 10

Personality: Arrogant, selfish and generally quite apathetic. Allisander is often seen as unfriendly, impolite boy that should take it down a notch. Those who know him better, though, know that he acts like that because he feels it is part of his right as Beast Tamer. That and part of his right because of what he is pursuing. Wealth, power, and wisdom. These three things form the core of his beliefs. He pursues them without break or stop and this drive can often be seen when he’s trying to take down a monster. While sometimes rash, this attitude has delivered some swift results in the past.

Bio: As a boy, Allisander grew up on the mainland, among the farms surrounding the Capital. It was a harsh life, but for a long time, Allisander was content with it. Working with his father all day made him into a strong boy by the age of 16. But a boy who began to love the library of the city. A place he often visited to read the stories of great Beast Tamers. Especially of great Theurgists who could cast magic and tear asunder their enemies with a flick of their hands. With their great beasts, they protected the world from all evil. Allisander knew he was but a boy, and that such fate was not for him. He liked reading it, but when his father expressed concern that he may go and play the hero, he put his father at ease telling him he wouldn’t ever be like the people in the book.

(Allisander’s attitude on this subject vastly changes when his Guardian was summoned for the first time. More on that once I get my guardian assigned)

Guardian Beast

[NightmareInd]

is it me is everyone till now except Alexander very focused on charisma?

[Legion02]

is it me is everyone till now except Alexander very focused on charisma?

@NightmareInd

I'm guessing it's the Honor system. No, I don't think my guy is going to be very much liked by the NPCs but I imagine him as being incredibly effective & powerful thus hard to ignore on actual missions.

Oh and just so this doesn't appear as criticism, I have absolutely no problem with the Honor system. Quite the opposite actually!

[iHxzardx]

@NightmareInd My character is a little girl was supposes to be a little girl like annie from League of legends... Who doesnt like little girls? They are so cute and adorable

[Snarl]

@HeyitsjiwonAccepted! Incredible profile, he's got a lot to offer the Guild and I can't wait to see how he fairs in the rp c:

@Legion02You have an extra point in your stats! Once thats fixed, he's accepted. Quick note though- your basic weapon is pretty powerful. You can keep it, so long as you're okay with receiving a much simpler and weaker weapon along with your Guardian Beast.

Also about the Honor system

- your starting Charisma doesn't have a major impact on how the world treats your character. Everyone starts off with Neutral honor, so the world acts generally the same toward everyone. Charisma only determines how readily a social interaction with an NPC will go in your favor.

For example The Baker is a gruff, stout fellow- very terse in his mannerisms and overall a pretty rude guy. Lute wants to buy bread from him and she asks for some. The Baker grumbles and gives her some bread. She thanks him, smiles, and is on her way. He's like "gee thats sweet" and will probably be kinder toward her in the future. Heck, he'll probably even share some info with her next time around. (I've been toying around with the idea that the players can build minor friendships with NPCs and from them they can get perks like: info that'll help on missions, items etc etc).

Now Allisander wants some bread! What does he do? He heads on over to the Baker. They trade hands, coin for loaf. Now Allisander may thank him, but the Bakers kindness toward him probably won't change. (NOW this is only at first. Lets say Allisander returns to the bakery, but now has 10 Honor.) Allisander enters the bakery and the Baker looks up, recognizes him and smiles, "Ah! You're from the Guild, right? Here to pick up some bread I see." And he'll give Allisander his bread, mention his appreciation for the guild, and give him some advice/info maybe.

Tl;dr Honor, in the long run, trumps Charisma.

I hope that didn't confuse anyone further lol

[Legion02]

@Snarl I got 1 extra in health, 5 extra in strength and 4 in intelligence. Together that makes 10. I thought we could freely give those to the stats? Did I make a mistake somewhere?

I do have one question about the secondary and primary weapon. I'm not entirely sure here. I'd imagine the Theurgist is somewhat of an actual magician class channeling the energy of his guardian beast into ranged spells. If this is the case, then would it be possible that the secondary and primary weapons directly influence the power of these spells? If so, I'll tone down my secondary weapon. In fact, I might still do it. But I'm just curious how my character would function with his Guardian. If I'm entirely wrong then please say so and I'll adapt his weapon according. But rest assured that I'll tone down the secondary weapon.

So just to get this right, Honor (and Dishonor) is gathered not during interaction with NPCs but by fulfilling certain objectives (or not fulfilling them) during a mission, task or quest? (not that it will change my Charisma stat)
