[OOC] Warcraft: War of the Ancients [Recruiting]

[Rockerman403]

I plan to. Almost done with it

[rivaan]

k reserved the first post in the character section. There will go plot relevent NPCs.

[Jaredthefox92]

So, since there's no necromancy. Would that mean I have to pick another specialization other than unholy?

[rivaan]

deathknights have some ability to summon undead, but deathknights are not necromancers as a class. So you could raise a zombie or somethign, but it will be a one or two for the sake of balance. Besides deathknights also got a whole slew of other nifty abilities aside raising the dead too. Where if you are a necromancer and you pull out the necromancy from them they turn into frail targets with no use for them. But yeah I would appreciate if the necromancy isn't the focus here. And most important point is that some deathknights do not serve the lichking which is the problem with normal necromancers who only server the lich king.

[Rockerman403]

Im curious what youre pulling from that necros only serve the lich king. i have no qualms with not allowing necros for whatever reason. However im curious what has stated theyre purely lich king servants.

[Jaredthefox92]

Alright, seems fair. I just was going to go with that or frost. Blood seemed to be more combat focused and I've done buffing before. AOE attacks seem more fun.

[rivaan]

@Rockerman403 Mostly basing it on personal logic here but if you think about it it's not really that far off really. The Cult of the Damned which was the first Necromancy order was created to serve the lichking. Aside them there hasn't really been any mentioning of necromants. THough alright I will be fair here, the burning legion probably has necromants within their grasp cause the scourge originated with them to begin with.

[Littlefinger]

@rivaan

Premise is great and I dig the rules too. I'd like to apply to join if you would allow me to.

[rivaan]

@Littlefinger Of course you can join as long as you follow the rules ^^

[rivaan]

and there we go, my character is posted. ^^

[Jaredthefox92]

Shall I post my prototype CS here or not? It's a lot of information so I may need to get some review.

[rivaan]

@Jaredthefox92 as long as everything's filled out you can post it here in the OOC, I will review it and tell you if something eneds editing or if it's ready to go over to the char section. ^^

[Jaredthefox92]

@rivaan Alright, just know it will be very raw. I've never played the online game of WOW, (because I usually just buy games and keep them as opposed to monthly memberships, but I've played Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne.) If there's a problem, I will need assistance.

[Jaredthefox92]

Personality:
Scylla was once an arrogant and prideful mortal, however in undeath she adheres to the Death Knight code of honor and acts much akin to how other Deathknights are. Yet, she is strong enough mentally to retain some sentience of her former self in that she is prideful and always seeking a challenge. This combined with a bit of independence in thinking makes her a useful party-member, as far as the Undead go. However, she is not without her vanity regarding acquiring more loot and power, often selling herself due to her fate as a mercenary of sorts, at least to further her eternal ends.

History:
Scylla was once a maiden who took up arms during the Scourge of Lordaeron, but was slain. However, instead of dying fully, she was “reborn” into becoming a death knight prior to the Lich King’s defeat.

Childhood: Scylla grew up in Loraedron during the Second War.Her father taught her brother at an young age in the ways of sword play and she would observe and duel her brother.
Adulthood: Although a woman, Scylla hid her gender to join in the defense of Lordaeron
Special Moments: Scylla was stricken mortally in the head while attempting to defend Lordaeron from the former Prince Arthas’s undead invasion. While she didn’t face Arthas, she was attacked and turned into the service of the undead after she fell in battle.
Current Events: As a rogue Deathknight, Scylla now travels around to sell her services to those who would benefit her well with mortal possessions, or otherwise.

@Jaredthefox92stats need to be filled put, there is no deathknight code of honor really. Deathknights cannot revive people the can make zombies and stuff. Type of magic should be necromantic. Put proper explanation on the outbreak spell. Rather than what they cause as names, explain it. Think of this less as a game and more as a world. A description or two for the armor are missing and people wear clothing underneath plate armor so put in something simple, i dunno pants and shirt and boots for example. You could put a tad more in the history parts. Then there's a single thing for which I will point you out to READ the rules again. It says it there. Like yeah... it's missing from your CS and then... there's the most important thing... You should use the provided CS that is under one of the headers in the first OOC post. Right at the bottom of it there's a CS provided to be used all formatted and stuff.

Sorry this turned into a lil bit of a rant but overall it's ok. Most of the issues are minor really but yeah CS and the missing thing for which you should read the rules again ^^

[Rockerman403]

Well on the basis of wow lore youre honestly far off. But obviously for this specific rp like i said i wouldnt complain that you need any reason other than "i say so that" :) i just wondered what your reference was. posting my sheet soon

[rivaan]

@Rockerman403 I am? *is honestly confused because he's pretty darn sure that there hasn't been necromancers on azeroth before the burning legion created them to serve their purpose and later put hte lichking's bum on the frozen throne.* I know for sure that hte legion are the one who put the first necromancy in practice during the first war of hte ancients spoiler alert this was going to be a plot element later on lol. Then again I do consider the books cannon so... *shrugs* anyways ^^ if Im trully that wrong, I apologize.

[Jaredthefox92]

@rivaan Alright, I'll try to fix it. It may take a while though.

[Rockerman403]

Well youre correct on their origin. But knowledge of necromancy isnt completely locked to the legion and the lich king. it isnt just taught by anyone, but there are still ways to learn of it and practice it without being a servant of the lich king or burning legion. Or even someone who was a defector from the Cult of the Damned, as you say in your rp application "Faction: (remember defectors and neutrals exist)"
Now if we spoke of lichs or absolutely all powerful necromancers than youre entirely right that they have to be lich king or legion servants.

[rivaan]

@Rockerman403 Thanks. You know I had forgotten about that possibility on necromancers, I was just discussing with a friend who's more aware on that direction of the lore than me and they confirmed it so Im wrong here ^^ anyways point taken.
EDIT: Let it be known that I'm ready to admit my mistake when I'm in the wrong and let no one say otherwise! ^^
