[OOC] Allaria - Classical Fantasy Ch. 5 - Recruit the Shadowwald!

[Rilla]

Sounds good to me.

As already mentioned I'm somewhat interested in the Dragoniods (or is it Dragonoids ?), but before I step into creating a CS blindly I'd like to ask some additional questions beforehand:

• Is there any preference in their magic ? Like fire, for example ? Or is the choice of which kind of magic halfway evenly distributed among their kind ?
• Is there any preference in weapons and armor ? It is said that they make up for their flaws with strength (its an aspect that's not said to be greatly inferior to some other species).
• Are there any other hints to their appearance in general ? For humans, dwarves and elves/drow I can pretty much imagine how one could look like, but except for the fact that a Dragoniod obviously has wings since he can glide for a small bit it's difficult to imagine. I don't want to risk picking some picture/written discription which is so far away from your intentions that it's an inacceptable mismatch.

[Rilla]

Not particularly, in way of magic. For instanxe, in previous play, a NOC dragoniod was versed in rune magic.

Much like above, there isn't. The one above, Fananatu, wore robes.

I imagine them as upright lizards, ranging from looking somewhat like a salamander to looking like a Komodo dragon.

[Rilla]

Alright, fair point. How does being slow sound? As in he's slow due to all the armour he's wearing, which I'll have to edit to make this make sense, and his swing speed is not as fast as the average swordsman.

EDIT:

I've also lowkey been craving a Malazan roleplay so this works out perfectly!

@Torack

You are accepted!

Also me too. Not a lot of people seem familiar with it. I'm thinking of using the continent deal

[Torack]

Eyyy Awesome!

Sadly that's true even though they're amazing books.

How do you mean by the continent deal? As in jumping from continent to continent as the books did?

[Rilla]

Yeah, where they started on one, then shifted stories to tell from another continent that would ultimately lead to the storylines coming together.

[Torack]

Like one massive convergence, eh? I like it! I like it a lot!

[Rilla]

Yeah, basically. Hahaha.

@Holy Soldier, I see you.

[Rilla]

How are you lot today?

[Torack]

I'm doing great! Enjoying my summer and all that, uno. How about yourself?

[Rilla]

Doing good. Waiting for dinner, so I can eat and then go to bed. Work tonight.

[Holy Soldier]

Bleh, nvm. I'm not going to make any promises. If it took me this long to try and write a CS, then it's not a good sign. Sorry if I wasted your time. I did have a character idea completely fleshed out in my head but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to just sit and write it. I think the posting sample on top of that was just a little too demanding for my level of writing. It's like asking for a 10-page paper because I already write normally roughly 7 to 10 pages period. I just couldn't imagine wasting it in a "sample post." And writing less may not have been good enough or even satisfied me.

[Rilla]

@Holy Soldier that's fine, I understand. It doesn't seem like this is destined to take off anyway. As far as the post, you could have just linked to a previous post. It's mostly for me to just get a feel for your writing.

[Holy Soldier]

@Rilla:(

[Rilla]

@Holy Soldier you turn that frown right upside down.

Not every idea is a winner.

[MelonHead]

Sorry Rilla, I feel like I haven't helped the situation much, I'm really not writing at the moment for some reason.
