[OOC] The Gladiators of Arlen

@Kymera@Eisenhorn@Ammokkx@Enzayne@Atrophy@Innis@Sisyphus

Just letting all of you know that currently I'm constructing a codex for this RP. I'll link it once I've got it a little more filled out, but you can go hunting for it if you want.

[Kymera]

Found it!! What do I win? Also now I'm even more excited for this. STOP IT.

[Eisenhorn]

But will the Codex track the romantic shenanigans of the world?

[Innis]

What's a Codex?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Kymera You win a rolled up newspaper! Attack: 0.5, Durability: 3, Range: 0. Use it for all your fly swatting needs!

@Eisenhorn It will track every illicit detail... and also how many progeny you spawn in the process.

[CollectorOfMyst]

What's a Codex?

@Innis

A codex is an ancient manuscript in text book form.

@CollectorOfMyst

That sounds like a challenge, that does.

[Kymera]

Codex= scoreboard

[Eisenhorn]

@Kymera And scoreboards mean competition.

[Kymera]

Oh really? Then is Ansgar interested on a practice run @Eisenhorn

[Eisenhorn]

@Kymera Well, as you have no doubt heard, practice does make perfect!

[Kymera]

Ok, I'd like to do a collab now with Ansgar. Quick "sparring" match.

Edit: Actual fighting, but with copious amounts of flirting an inuendo.

[Eisenhorn]

I am sure that actual sparring was what was totally meant. He'll certainly be at a disadvantage with the flirting and such going on, sure as sure.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Well, if people want another prize, go to the Codex and check out the small update. First one to report back and give me their opinion wins. (Sorry, people who are sleeping as of right now.

[Kymera]

Hm. I like there being distinctions between NPC types and some rules for each of them.

Question I have though, will it be possible for NPC's to evolve, so to speak? Like maybe someone in the Arena ends up making enemies with an NPC, or an ally with then depending on how the story ends up going?

[CollectorOfMyst]

Welcome back, @Obscene Symphony! Still lurking in my RP, I see.

[Kymera]

@Eisenhorn

Got to even the playing field somehow.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Kymera Indeed it will. That's going to be part of the Gameplay section - for example, in Destin's story, it mentions the chieftain of his tribe. Currently, that person qualifies as a 'Backstory NPC'. However, should we come across him, and we've done or do something, his status could change to 'Adversary' or 'Ally'.

There's also going to be point bars; 'Renown', and 'Infamy' are the only ones I have at the moment, but there may be something like 'Status' later. Certain events have been planned out, and depending on what your characters do, the team entire will gain a point in either. While in Chapter 1, there aren't really any events planned out for what might happen if a certain threshold is met.

Also, your prize; Cat Ear Headband. Defense: 0.5, Durability: 7, Cuteness: Infinite

[Kymera]

Neat!! I'm excited to see it in action!

Also, I have concerns about these prizes...

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Kymera What about my prizes? Are they too overpowered? Too awesome?
