[OOC] Pariah Online: Prologue [ closed ]

[Gowi]

And just when I was looking for something to scratch this particular itch. You've got some amazing timing, sir.

@Superboy

Tell that to the people that waited for a month for me to get around to this.

Hm... I have some nice ideas for my dancer.

Maybe a "rogue/support"
Flexibility and agility coupled with acrobatics give her high mobility.
Her unique weapon strike targets with nasty wounds, inflicting bleed and being particularly hard to avoid due to the complex dance used to wield it.
Her dances can apply debuffs or buffs to enemies and allies.

Overall it's a really squishy class centered on using her mobility to take down strategic targets and apply buffs and debuffs, without suffering from the mobility issues from more "traditional" support classes

[Archmage MC]

What about a plague mage, chemist, portal mage, necromancer, demonologist or something like that? Any of those work for ya?

[NarcissisticPotato]

@Archmage MC
Light definitely will not work here but thanks for throwing your lot in, Arch! x3

@Zi
I'll put the kettle on!

[Zi]

Well Im quite boring... I was going to go with the plain old big tanky fuk that uses a big axe... I should probably rethink my character :/

[Gowi]

In the defense of simplicity— simple mechanics and combat aesthetics are a lot easier for me to approve and thus a lot less grief for me. My own character is a spear-wielding DPS that functions similarly to a combat rogue.

High dps from rogue classes and buffs from support classes, but without the invisibility/stealth from rogues.

@13org

So, will it work? @NarcissisticPotato. @Gowi

[Archmage MC]

@NarcissisticPotato

Yep I know. I've got two themed sets for her now though so I can make her a toon or a demon and its the same powerset either way. So no more "Toon doesn't fit this RP's theme" BS. xD. Though the demon set needs a bit more work to make it fit more tightly thematically. If you wanna help me make it fit together better we can chat over PMs. Though I prob wont use her here unless you want me to xD.

@Gowi

So what are you OK with for a character. Plague mage (I guess Affliction lock), Chemist, Portal mage (Portal gun with benefits), Necromancer, or Demonologist?

[MissCapnCrunch]

It's New Years Eve.
I'm getting drunk- but I will start on a character and look through stuff.

Cheers babies <3

@13org
Give it a shot! We won't say no, we'll just balance things if they need balancing. To me, she sounds like an agile bard with high DPS. There would obviously need to be weaknesses but give it a go!

@Archmage MC
I'd say give a new character a go! It's always good to broaden your horizon and I don't think a demon would fit in, lore-wise. Feel free to PM me or Gowi if you want to discuss though!

@MissCapnCrunch
QQ I need more alcohol and more time

[MissCapnCrunch]

@NarcissisticPotato

Come over! <3 I'll treat you good!

[13org]

@NarcissisticPotato pretty much. Her main weaknesses would be basically using no armor, only clothes (she would be severely impaired in her mobility if she used any armor)
And the fact that her dances draw aggro. Although she performs her dances with her weapon, her attacks while dancing are 50% weaker due to the fact that she needs to pay more attention to her dance than her attacks.

Any dances used are an active buff. Once she stops dancing, the effect it gives to enemies/Allies is gone.

So basically she has 2 modes: an rogue\dps mode and an buffer/de buffer/caster mode. Needless to say, her play style changes drastically.

[Archmage MC]

@NarcissisticPotato

Oh I'm not using her, I'm trying to make a new character, but can't decide on what I had set above.

I'll probably go with Demonologist. Being able to force people into demonic contracts sounds fun.

[Supermaxx]

I was considering a...non-traditional tank. Instead of simply being hard to kill, he focuses instead on lifesteal- that is to say, all of his tankiness comes from his ability to land hits on enemies. If he can wail on you, he's a tough son of a bitch to down. But if you can kite him? It's a fairly easy fight. His attacks wouldn't hurt as much as a melee DPS, obviously. They're pretty run of the mill. The main point of striking a foe is simply to stay alive.

[Gowi]

Just keep in mind that I have conceptually an aggro-gaining character who relies on dodging. Honestly my character might be more of a tank in her own regards than a DPS now that I’m critically thinking about her two months old character design from the old Aether Online concept.

[MissCapnCrunch]

So are we going for our looks in real life or in game? Both?

[Gowi]

Right now, I really really should add an appearance section to supplement the faceclaim. As for how appearances go I think it is more imaginative in the sense this is centered on a sort of subconciousness that parallels dreaming. We perceive ourselves how we want to but our mind still imagines us as we know it. So possibly some middle ground to that effect?

[13org]

@Gowi

That means.... Photos?

*Cracks knuckles*

Allright.... Didnt wanted to show you this... Cover your eyes

[Gowi]

If you are infinitely curious about an example CS, I should be converting Rael over in the character tab periodically.

[Supermaxx]

@Gowi Would you mind if I placed a WIP version of my CS here? I've got all the combat stuff down and that's...really what I'd like to make sure is okay before I start working on the wordier parts of the sheet. I can PM it to you too, if that's what you would prefer.
