[OOC] Ravnica: A Magic RP

[Ryougu]

Personally, I don't think I really fit in with any definite guild, I'd be that one guy that fights without guild...And dies horribly for it.

[PrivateVentures]

@1Charak2@Raijinslayer Izzet for both of you, huh? Wow. Two inquisitive minds in one thread...

I would say Dimir. I certainly understand the value of information, and I most certainly believe that there are cosmic secrets in the universe that ought to remain that way. That having been said, I wanna know the secrets.

@Ryougu Guildless is a way to do it. But, if you're feeling guildless... The Golgari will take anyone. "Give us your tired, your sick, your poor..." They're basically Ravnican America.

But then, there's also a guild for the guildless, it seems.

@PrivateVentures

I bet you don't even know the true reference of Cthulu in magic.

[Raijinslayer]

@PrivateVenturesI feel that comparison comes with a heavy bit of irony now, given the current administration.

[PrivateVentures]

@1Charak2 You mean Drelnoch? Lorthos? Hypnox? Marit Lage? Emrakul?

@Ryougu Irony? Or coincidence?

[Gutshot]

With all this talk of different ways to play MTG for free, have you guys ever heard of Xmage?

It runs and plays really well for an unofficial MTG client, even better than MTGO.

Then again, anything is better than MTGO.

@Raijinslayer

The guildless are an actual faction.

Also Golgari don't take in the guildless. they take in those with no other place to go.

You can be guildless and not Golgari you know.

[Gutshot]

@1Charak2 You mean Drelnoch? Lorthos? Hypnox? Marit Lage? Emrakul?

@PrivateVentures

HOMARIDS?!

[PrivateVentures]

@1Charak2 Well, yeah, but if you're guildless, and wanting of a guild, the Golgari will take you.

[The Red Seelie]

@1Charak2 You mean Drelnoch? Lorthos? Hypnox? Marit Lage? Emrakul?

@Ryougu Irony? Or coincidence?

@PrivateVentures

I mainly meant Marit Lage mainly because...



Direct Cthulu Reference


More C'thulu then the Eldrazi in some cases.



Has an Effing Cult.


The Demigod version of horror.
Suddenly this is more likely what the god-horror will be then any Eldrazi.

[Raijinslayer]

@GutshotI'll keep it in mind for when I actually manage to get my own PC(which should be soon if everything goes well), but at the moment, I own no electronics of my own besides a $50 kindle.

[PrivateVentures]

@Gutshot Actually, I think he means Wrexial.

@1Charak2 Marit Lage is very cool. Haven't seen it around in a long, long time, though.

Looks like something that could wrestle Emrakul, tentacle to tentacle, pound for pound.

I think you're right, though. That's what she aspires to be. But, she wants to make it herself.

[The Red Seelie]

@Gutshot Actually, I think he means Wrexial.

@PrivateVentures

IF you want the joke I meant Squee.

This thing is a monster.

[PrivateVentures]

So, guys, how do YOU think a Horror-God could be produced, or at least a Horror with extreme capabilities, and the potential for soulbonding?

Oh, and this: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. IA, IA, CTHULHU FHTAGN. IA DAGON. IA CTHULHU.

[Ryougu]

@JaceBeleren
So this here's the idea, mostly worked out by now.

Wow, Another CS!

Name: Boris
Age: 32
Race: Human
Appearance:

Like this but holding an instrument...and occasionally hitting someone with it.

Personality:
Rejecting the Boros, Boris has become chaotic. Something that has also taken its toll on his mind. He can be accurately described as unstable and loud. If you try to take away his music, 'violent' can be added to this list. He can be conversed with, but he generally won't stop making music.

History:
Boris has left the Boros legion for eventually "gaining the insight" that the Boros are overly zealous. Driven to the border of insanity by the legion's constant persecution, Boris --though barely-- managed to save his skin by joining the Rakdos. The terror of an army chasing him did leave its impact however as it caused him to develop an alternate persona with a lust for carnage and death. Switching between his normal personality and this persona, Boris lives in constant paranoia.

Turning to music to drown out his urges and thoughts, Boris quickly became dependant on the music. His first few battles after were rather unpleasant. Without music to preserve his mind, Boris quickly turned into a shivering ball of anguish. In a sober moment, he realized he could help himself in this regard. With this realization, Boris started making his own music, which, mixed with the melody of steel and screams, forms his solace.

Rank within guild:
2 - Specializing in riling up crowds with his music, he manages to make the already aggressive Rakdos members even more aggresive and wild. He's earned some recognition as a fighter, but since Rakdos isn't too interested in keeping order, who knows what these ranks even means?

Associates

-Aurelia (Boros guildmaster) - Aurelia, involved as she is with her underlings, had not failed to notice Boris' betrayal. No one betrays the legion, thus by doing so, Boris obtained her ire. She wants him dead and Boris wouldn't mind seeing her dead either.
-Several other Boros guild members - Being heavily indoctrinated extremists, most Boros members who've known him also wish him dead for his betrayal

Colours: True Rakdos (Red/Black)

Preferred spells

3 - Abandon Reason
3 - Mardu Runemark
3 - Incite War
3 - Rally the Forces
2 - Rakdos Charm
2 - Rush of Vitality

Preferred creatures

5 - Warchanter of Mogis
5 - Kragma Warcaller
4 - Felhide Spirirtbinder
3 - Rageblood Shaman
3 - Ragemonger
3 - Felhide Petrifier
2 - Deathbellow Raider
1 - Legion Loyalist

Additional information:
-Without his music, Boris is likely to once more turn into a quivering mess. He has however found peace in the din of battle, so depending on the ferocity of battle he might function witout music.
-Boris can often be heard playing several kinds of music. Occasionally one might even hear him play one song while singing another.
-While in the legion he was an experienced hieromancer* but after his mind broke he found himself unable to use white magic. He does retain the knowledge however.

@Ryougu I see a traitor, sadly we don't do the whole capture thing... Legion protocol, blast the heresy out of them.

[Ryougu]

@Apollosarcher
I know. Did I have a lapse of judgement somewhere and still put down 'capture'?

I was fairly certain I hadn't...

[Apollosarcher]

@Ryougu I know... But what fun await trying to murder each other, violently.

[Ryougu]

@Apollosarcher
Ohhh, that. That was intentional. Then again, I've specifically looked up boros while making the sheet...Was not disappointed when I read the boros consider everyone not in line with them an enemy.

[Apollosarcher]

@Ryougu Oh yes, Boros is ruthless but fair. Their's a list, of how much you're liked or disliked.

To quote the best abridged series anime.

2. The Legion and Wojeks
3. Gateless
