[OOC] Dark Souls: The Watchers of the Abyss

[Snarfulblast]

So this is still open yeah? Cause I have a char in mind, the Char is basically just my Dark Souls 1 character.

[Leos Klien]

If I can direct everyones attention to the Character tab the Commander of the Legion is now in there, just got his bio to do and then he will be finished.
He's OP as shit for a reason as well - means no one here can try and stab him in the back without getting killed very quickly :P
And some other top secret plot related stuff - just remember that he is an NPC and past being the groups guide in the beginning he won't be a major character for quite some time.

[Leos Klien]

@SnarfulblastI'll put you on the reserve list -at the minute we might be full up, not entirely sure until I see everyones CS'.
In other words, I'll let you now when you can apply ^_^

[Snarfulblast]

@Leos Klien You got it boss!

Burn marks cover her light tan colored skin, these burns are usually kept hidden, save for the burn mark on her right eye, which is a very pale blue compared to her left eye which is a brilliant sky blue. Her dark sign is on her right shoulder.

Weapons: Pyromancy Flame, Falchion

Armor: Mirrah set(minus the mask), Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring, Great Swamp Ring

Personality

Always the type to hit the books, Kaira has a thing for studying old tomes and/or books, despite not being a sorcery or spellsword. If possible, she even hopes to spread her knowledge, as a means of teaching her fellow sane undead the benefits and dangers of pyromancy.
Kaira has an extreme fascination with the powers of pyromancy, and it was only until she mortally burned herself trying to push her flame's limits that she started to study pyromancy more cautiously. She still yearns for more knowledge on pyromancy and would "kill" to get her hands on a tome relating to the pyromancies of Izalith.
Going past her lust for knowledge, Kaira is very talkative and is always trying to keep an upbeat mood. After her accident back in Mirrah, Kaira can't stand the thought of hurting more innocent people.

Biography

While growing up, Kaira was taught the way of combat by her father, as the land of Mirrah she comes from is constantly at war. It was only until she found a dusty pyromancy tome that her mother had kept hidden that she started to develop an interest in pyromancy. After creating her own pyromancy flame, she began practicing in secret along with her father's lessons. Things seemed fine, until one night she started to experiment on her flame, the resulting inferno engulfed her home, taking her parents with it.
Rising from the ashes of her destroyed home, Kaira exiled herself from Mirrah and ran from the destruction she caused. Many years later, Kaira had sold herself as a lone mercenary, taking odd jobs as to keep herself going. She never liked letting her blade do the talking but she had to make a living somehow, "can't keep yourself sane if you don't have anything to do" as she always said to herself. Over the years, Kaira began to feel like just another pointless undead, she was never going to make a difference selling her services to do questionable jobs, then one day she learned of the Watchdogs of Farron. Rather than waste her humanity on mercenary work, Kaira felt her talents would be more useful in aiding the Undead Legion in its task of destroying and stopping the spread of the abyss.

@Leos Klien I fixed a lot of what was wrong but I'm sure I am missing something.

[OtomostheCrazy]

oh geez...I just realized I could have had my character decide to keep a journal or diary. Dang...I could've attempted to cheat the Curse! T-T

[Lexicon]

You could always find or purchase a journal at some point during the RP. Since society hasn't completely collapsed yet, I'm willing to bet we'll run into the occasional merchant.

[Leos Klien]

@OtomostheCrazyNah man, that'd attract the "Journal and diary stealing" covenant, invaders that pickpocket your diary's and journals - so close but no bacon I'm afraid.

[Lexicon]

*Gasp* The Scholars of the Sticky Fingers! I forgot about those guys lol.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Well there goes my journal idea, ah well, exploits dont always work, putting the final touches on my character right now

[Lexicon]

I mean, although Leos has the final say, you could have a journal. It might even be an interesting side-plot if the journal gets stolen, and the character has to go through hell and back to retrieve it. It might be fun. *Shrugs*

[Leos Klien]

@BlackHoleKin Your Biography and description are still too vague and under developed.

For you description talk about his frame, so is he thin or fat? Lanky or bulky? strong or weak? etc, talk about how the face looks, does he have any scars, does he have any other outstanding features?
I know describing someone in detail is a bit difficult, it took me a good bit of time to get better at it - best thing to do is look at you own body and write a paragraph describing it, then use that as a basis on how to describe someone elses, it's how I do it ^_^

For your Bio try and describe the journey from the moment he died to how he got to the Watchdogs of farron, why did he want to join them, where'd he hear it from etc.
Try and make a story from your Bio, even if this means delving into the lore and geography of the Dark souls world, I would at least want 2 decent sized paragraphs for this area; ideally.

[Leos Klien]

@Darkmoon AngelThe journal was a clever idea, thinking out of the box, but inevitably if you lose a memory looking at your journal and seeing your writing that you have done something will mean nothing to a person who cannot for the life of them remember it.
It says you've done it, and your hand is the best proof for that - but the memory is either fading and hazy; or completely gone, in the end those entries say that you've done something and you'd use that to jog your memory, but if there is no memory of it then there is nothing to jog - the journal will be a painful reminder that you are slowly losing everything that you are.
If anything, it's more damaging than it is good.

[OtomostheCrazy]

So...Who wants to have knowledge on how to make Estus Soup? It's a Catarina recipe, but the people there are described to be joyous, so I wouldn't put it past them to offer to teach anyone the recipe.

@OtomostheCrazy
Siegbrau - alcohol for the undead; guy's a legend.

[Darkmoon Angel]

And finished

[OtomostheCrazy]

@Darkmoon Angel

Our characters seem to have similar tastes in weaponry

[Leos Klien]

@Darkmoon Angel
I was dubious about the "creation" of a pyromancy flame - in lore one does not create one, it's like an extension of your own understanding, the more you learn about pyromancies the more the flame develops up until the point where you have access to a pyromancy flame; so yeah technically you do create your own pyromancy flame.
Anyway, couple of problems, your personality seems to suggest that you've already joined the Watchdogs of Farron; that's not the case, the first post you do will be your joining, so modify your personality to actually explain what she is like before that moment - try and make it as detailed as you can - a good detailed paragraph will be sufficient.
Same goes for your description and bio - just try and flesh them out a bit more.

---

This roleplay will require you to produce at least 2 paragraphs of detail per post - if anyone here feels that they cannot meet that level please let me know.
In terms of everyones CS' please try and make them detailed as possible - the more detail they have the closer to a human they become, in part making roleplaying with them far easier.

[Lexicon]

I like how all the female characters posted so far are pale-skinned and have dark hair. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it's kinda funny.
