[OOC] From the Weakest Goblin To the Greatest God

@Wasted Ink

Titanpad is bae.

Especially for collabs.

You know, when it's not disconnecting all the time.

@Rune_Alchemist

The disconnecting kills my blood cells.

[Jangel13]

Not a big fan of titan pad I only used it for some rps

[Duthguy]

@Rune_Alchemist So more of a fragile speedster?

@Jangel13

Understandable.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Duthguy

Something like that? I wouldn't exactly use the word 'fragile', but I suppose it could be interpreted that way. She's obviously not going to be tanking hits like some ogre or Minotaur would, but she's not just going to drop in one hit either.

EDIT: Perhaps some sort of dark elf evolution line would be appropriate, maybe?

EDIT 2: I suppose any sort of species would work really, as long as it relied more on mobility rather than brute strength in any area. I'm not a fan of 'overwhelming power' types of characters. Or at least if it had good mobility along with something else.

Suppose I wouldn't mind a character with Good Magic + Mobility or a character with good physical ability + Mobility.

Some sort of lightly armored battle mage or something?

I dunno, it's difficult since our abilities are going to basically be based on what we are rather than what is possible for our characters to learn naturally. Which I find a bit silly, but eh.

[Wasted Ink]

I believe Hobgoblins can learn magic naturally, once they become one. From there, I'm sure your character can learn through books, no matter the species. At least, it has happened in canon.

[Heyitsjiwon]

Leechee... come on mate. Ya holdin up tha show.

[Jangel13]

Yeah speaking of I'm going to make the next post in an hour or so after I finish cooking. Don't worry you all be let loose real soon.

@Wasted Ink

It's been awhile since I've read the series, so I'm a bit out of the loop on what has happened, but learning magic through books I've always found a bit odd since one should be able to realistically practice with magic and learn new applications/forms of it through self-practice.

Unless, it was a completely new form of magic for example.

I dunno, it seems at the moment there's not evolution paths that would account for something that I would enjoy playing...but eh, I dunno. I'll just let the pieces fall where they may.

I just know Isurta is going to focus on learning various forms of academics, magic, as well as how to wield spear/glaive weapons (might change it to a rapier of sorts or some other light sword), and rely more on speed/agility/finesse in fights rather than brute strength in any area. So if there's some sort of something that would help her with all of that, it would be much appreciated.

@Rune_Alchemist

I see. I guess I'm used to developing characters freely from their experiences, moreso than classes and evolution, so my opinion is probably useless within the theme of this role-play.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Wasted Ink

I mean, that's how it should be.

Regardless of whether there's a class for what she wants or not is fairly irrelevant. She's a scholar and academic by nature, and wants to learn everything that she can. To me, it makes sense that she wouldn't forgo learning how to wield a certain weapon just because she's learned magic, as that would also be a field of study in its own right.

Of course, it does depend on IC experiences. This is just the hypothetical path for her at the moment, and I am merely stating what she would do if there's not any major interference.

[Jangel13]

Alright everyone go nuts. keep to the regular posting rule and ill set up what will happen to each character and as a result ill post much more frequently.

Remember this You can Die, Be careful

@Rune_Alchemist

I understand what you're saying, and I agree.

I guess what I'm thinking, is this: Since some Goblins, once they evolve into Hobgoblins, spontaneously began exhibiting magical traits, Isurta could do the same - that is, exhibit magical traits. From thenceforth, due to her studious and academic nature, she could began practicing, training, and strengthening those magical roots, all the while keeping herself sharp with her weaponry. Thus, no matter her evolution pattern, she still maintains her magical abilities and her martial abilities. From what I see, certain evolutionary forms enhances your magic, but anyone can use magic if it's already a part of their system.

For instance, a Dhampir. They seem to be graceful and skilled with weaponry, and I'm sure that Isurta could still utilize magic from her Hobgoblin evolution, even if magic isn't necessarily a 'focus' of the evolutionary tree.

[December]

Can you guys link me the info on these classes? My research is kinda meeting me with a dead end, with very little information other than the names of the evolutions.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Wasted Ink

Aye, if she can learn magic as a hobgoblin, I might have her just go the Dhampir -> Vampire Noble -> Ice Blood True Vampire.

Although, if there would be more 'True Vampires' other than Ice Bloods, it'd be cool. (pun not intentional...hehe.)

Or alternatively Dhampir -> Vampire -> ???

There's not canonically anything after a vampire, and it seems a bit like a dead-end rank. If there was something else after that it would be pretty cool too. Maybe make something up that compliments magic? I dunno. It's just weird for vampires not to be good at spellcasting to me.

@December

Rank up System
It doesn't have an extensive list, and some info is missing I think but this is probably the best one you're gonna find.

EDIT: And I'll get to a post after eating and working on a post for something else.

@Rune_Alchemist

True. That's why I asked earlier if we could build off of existing trees. I also don't like how the Lord tree ends so abruptly. It'd make sense to have something beyond that, so that it isn't such a drop-off.

Maybe a Vampire Acolyte [sounds magicky], after Vampire? And so forth. Maybe the ending class for the tree could be High Blood Vampire [somethingsomething]

Edit: Oh, and I left my post open for anyone to join Xaal in his quest for Horned Rabbit meat.

[Leechee]

After giving it some thought, I decided that I'll invest my time on running an RP of my own instead of participating in one. Anyway, thanks for considering my application and hopefully this RP becomes amazing. Good luck and long live goblins.

[Jangel13]

Oh well, at least this was done early good luck to you leech

Now im going to reopen to one more person who wants to join the rp

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Wasted Ink
and did a posty post. You're stuck with Isurta now. have fun

@Jangel13

So, how does something like Isurta having magic talent as a Hobgoblin sound?

She could go from Hobgoblin -> Dhampir -> Vampire -> ??? [Something with magic?] -> ??? [Final evo or something?]

I am not sure what would come canonically after vampire, but I think honestly that would be the best evolutionary path for her to take honestly.

[Jangel13]

Aww and I worked hard making a brand new tree for the magically and agility gifted.

If you want the vampire path though you need to learn vampirism
