[OOC] Torchlight (high casual, based off of Darkest Dungeons)

[Paradoxial]

@The Fated Fallen i'll second that!

[Crazytazer]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had stepped up for the forth spot yet. If not I'd like to give throwing a character together a go.

[rivaan]

@Crazytazer No one has as of yet ^^ So it should be fine ^^

[Crazytazer]

Cool beans, wanted to check just in case though. This looked a bit too fun to pass up.

A little more nutty never hurt anyone...much.

Barrington Waldorf the 5th

Name: Barrington 'Barry' Waldorf the 5th.

Appearance:

Barry in uniform

Class: Engineer.

Devotion: Kessel.

Backstory: Of the Waldorf family line Barrington is among the most eccentric of the aristocrats of the city Heidon. Ever since he was young he was surrounded by the haughty and overly well mannered ilk of nobles who were hardly worthy of their position, at least as far as the bright young man was concerned. Unlike most he was never satisfied with the idea of sitting around looking pretty much preferring to make a name for himself that wasn't just Waldorf. He loved tinkering with whatever he could get his hands on making trinkets and gadgets of usefulness with surprisingly good results despite only self-training to rely on. On the bright side he was a younger son allowing him to pursue his inventing under a teacher eventually which helped to curb some of his...exuberance in making items of questionable safety to himself, but mostly others. His family was not particularly pleased with his total apathy towards all things high society but his gadgets did prove to be profitable so they allowed it though he became something of a black sheep in all but name.

Barry has come a long way since often taking to the road to find inspiration as well as customers for his increasingly more potent inventions and growing expertise in tinkering with weapons, armor, and sometimes transportation. Given enough time he can make rather impressive contraptions or maybe help improve that eye sore of a building's design. His work has become more artistic over time as well as his process of creation with simple implements seeming far too mundane, especially since he could always improve on them to make them just that much better. Of course that would be true if he didn't have innumerable projects coming to mind at any one time coursing through his mind all of which he will likely never be able to finish as there are always adjustments to be made. During his travels Barry has made equal parts trouble and profit while living out his dream as it were.

Barrington eventually found out about the call to arms and after some half attentive though it occurred to him that it would be a perfect testing ground for some of his inventions plus the thought of adventure, not to mention funds, quite appealed to him so he would go to this town and do what he did best. After all Kessel favors the bold and brilliant right?

@Crazytazer I'm not sure about the man servant, I just don't feel like it would fit the world very well and he would probably be killed off quite quickly anyways... other than that it seems good.

On a side note, I was wanting to ask you guys opinion on a Miracle system I've been thinking about adding to the RP. Basically how it works is the more you pray to a specific god, the more likely that specific god will be to help you in your times of greatest need. You can only get the god specific buffs if your allegiance is sworn to that god, but you can pray to any of them to increase their chance in helping you. It won't be a big chance, probably only going up to a 25% probability that a miracle would happen at the maximum, but I feel like it would add an extra bit of hope and suspense. Every god has a different scenario where they can save you from. Ragnarok for instance, might shield you from a killing blow, borealis infusing your weapon with holy power to fell a boss, or Shee'l Tor manifesting nightmarish creatures to aid you in battle. Let me know what you guys think!

[rivaan]

@Paradoxial It could work actually. Though in Alliana's case it's not important since she's not any god's follower xD Though on that note I'd have to ask you about hte possible buffs you thought up for drinking blood types. Since well she's been at it for a while she's bound ot know at least what effects some types of blood have.

[Eisenhorn]

@Paradoxial I like the idea, and it further justifies my intentions for my fellow spending a great deal of time in the church. Plus, that extra little oomph when it works would be fun to see, so I'm game for a sort of Miracle system to be in place.

Also, I don't recall if it got asked yet or not, but does each god have set 'spells' for their priests to draw upon that have been preset up, or are we given some creative license in that regard? I know their powers are based on their gods, but haven't seen any detail beyond that.

[Crazytazer]

@Paradoxial Fair enough, he was probably was just going to end up sitting in the town anyways that can be edited out quick any who. Glad to hear the rest was good enough.

I like that idea a lot, adds another little bit to look forward to when it happens.

[Paradoxial]

@Eisenhorn so this is something I've been meaning to talk about for awhile now, but I guess I just never actually got around to saying it. So your character, skills, equipment, spells, all of it never "level up". Any physical objects like armor and weapons can be upgraded for gold. Every class has the affinity to learn and use spells, but only the spell focused classes like mage and priest actually start with any. Once you rebuild a certain building, you'll be able to learn new spells according to how far you are in the game, and "train" existing spells to increase there abilities. Since you're the only priest, then yes of course please make a basic list of spells for yourself starting out, and when it gets to mid and late in the RP I'll handle the progression and new spells. Also there isnt "mana" just be mature about not spam casting and yes, the more your character casts spells the more exhausted and drained they will get. Don't be afraid to let your spells have a dark influence from Shee'l Tor ;)

[Paradoxial]

@Crazytazer go ahead and move your character on over :)

[Crazytazer]

@Paradoxial I'll see if I can't put a post together in a bit here in the mean time.

[Paradoxial]

@Crazytazer go right ahead! After everyone's posted I'll do a post and the cycle will begin!

[rivaan]

@Paradoxial Hey was thinking if it's ok to add a second picture to the CS for her actual adventuring clothing ^^?

[Paradoxial]

@rivaan of course! On an unrelated note my next post should be up within the day

[rivaan]

@Paradoxial Perfect ^^ also picture added.

[Eisenhorn]

@rivaan I have not seen Vindictus anything in many moons indeed. Reminds me of playing that big guy and punching things. All the things. And grappling all the things. All the things.

[rivaan]

@Eisenhorn xD not bad not bad. I played Scythe evie xD slashing ALL THE THINGSSSSSSSS once you get used to the combos and stuff it's feels so epic xD (even when you are being wrecked epicly by a giant dragon xD)

[The Fated Fallen]

I've never even heard of this game, so... Yay for ignorant me again I guess

[Eisenhorn]

@rivaan Grim Reaper all the things! A buddy and I would play it together, he tended to be one of the small, fast types. I stuck to being able to grab and grapple everything, including the boss ones that have a cooldown. Still fun shit though, sure as sure, haven't played in a long time though.

@The Fated Fallen No worries, Vindictus being a third person dungeon crawling type game, each character is effectively their own class. Each class has one of two weapons they can work with, which tends to change how they handle to a fair degree.
