[OOC] Suddenly, My Favorite MMORPG has Become Real?! — A Log Horizon-inspired RP

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Saarebas: Alright popped outta bed, gonna look this over.
Hm...
Well, like I said about Mr. Dragon, gonna need a justification why you're playing on JP rather than a global server. Again, our bad, but it's a minor edit to be made.
's about it. Once that's in, I think you're good to go.

[Saarebas]

@PKMNB0Y Sorry about that, I can do a quick edit to his backstory.

Boom, added it in to the start of the second paragraph =)

Yjarldor Stormcaller

"In times like this we need to stand together more than ever."

Name
(Former)

Damian Queen

Name
(Character)

Yjarldor "Yjarl" Stormcaller
_{(Pronounced Yarl-Dor)}

Age

22

Appearance

Yjarl's avatar is a hulking individual, standing at a staggering eleven feet tall and weighting over eight-hundred pounds. His large frame is covered in slab upon slab of muscle, though he has quite the amount of muscle mass it isn't incredibly toned. He has sky blue skin that is covered in a series of jagged dark blue markings that cover his entire body. Yjarl keeps his head clean shaven, the only hair on his face being a pair of thick black eyebrows. His eyes are a striking icy blue color and give off a faint glow.

Character Level

51

Character Class

Guardian

Personality

Yjarl is a gentle of a giant, having a kind heart and a nearly hindering need to help others. A warm smile is always at home on the young man's face and he is no stranger to a laugh, but unlike many others Yjarl is by no means boisterous and is rather reserved when it comes to his fun. He has a soft spot for those in need and will usually go out of his way to help others, even if it means putting himself at risk. His kind heart should by no means be mistaken for weakness, Yjarl would not hesitate to pounce on someone he felt deserved it. At the end of the day Yjarl lives by the old saying speak softly and carry a big stick, always willing to stay his hand, but never afraid to let loose if need be.

Abilities

As a Storm Giant Yjarl has a number of abilities allotted to him, most prominent of which being the boost to both his strength and constitution which comes at the cost of his dexterity and speed. A prime example of this strength is Yjarl being able to wield what would be classified as two-handed weapons in only one hand. He also has a natural resistance to lightning damage. Yjarl's Storm Giant blood also gives him the ability known as Thunder Shout which is an AoE ability that allows Yjarl to let out a roar with such force and volume that it stuns and physically knocks back those around him. He is also has the Storm Within ability which causes his body to be coated in electrical energy for a short time.

Skills

Yjarl's training as a Guardian mainly focused around trying to defend his other party members by drawing enemy attention onto himself. Many of Yjarl's moves involve him charging into a group of enemies, which often leads to many of the smaller foes being trampled, and sweeping with his massive weaponry to attack multiple targets. He has rather limited ranged attacks however, his only one being a harpoon attack that is meant to impale an enemy from afar and drag it closer to Yjarl's melee range. His large size also allows him grapple smaller foes, either being able to restrain them, throw them, or bash them into the ground.

Backstory

Damian grew up as a military brat, his mother being in the service. His mother's job meant that he was moved around a lot, meaning from a young age Damian got to see a whole lot of the world. These moves also meant that Damian never had too much time to actually make many real face to face friendships, it was this problem that turned the young man on to online gaming. Through these online worlds it didn't matter how many times he moved Damian would always be a mere internet connection away from friends.

Once he was old enough to move out Damian headed to Japan for collage, namely do to him feeling that it was the promise land of online gaming, and this is where he found Emerald Odyssey, falling head over heels for the gamed almost instantly. The world was massive and it was filled to the brim with people that he could interact with. The more Damian played the more he realized that as much as he liked getting to meet new people what he loved was helping others. This was when Yjarldor Stormcaller really came into being, Damian created him as someone anyone could come to for help. A boss giving you trouble? Yjarldor would join your party in a heart beat. Can't find that last piece to complete that armor set? Yjarldor would grind with you for hours. Got a bunch of players griefing lower level characters? Yjarldor would set them straight. It didn't take too long until people actually started searching Yjarldor out for help.

Damian had planned to try and get through the content in the new expansion as fast as possible so he could then turn around and start helping other people through it, little did he know he was going to end up being the one that would need help in the end.

A Better Look At His Armor And Hammer

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Saarebas: All clear. There are a few minor spelling mistakes here and there, but it's nothing worth fretting over.
Accepted.

[Saarebas]

@PKMNB0Y Woo Hoo, acceptance! Thanks boss =)

[OliveYou]

soooo.... when is IC expected to start?

[DocRock]

Storm Giant looks badass.

[VitaVitaAR]

It looks like there's no boring but practical types for Megumi to get angry at.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

It's likely we'll start sometime before the end of this weekend. Gonna make sure things are prepped before this kicks off.

[Saarebas]

@DocRock Thanks dude =) And by the way I have always been a fan of Dragonborn like characters, what's not to like about humanoid dragons?

@VitaVitaAR He may not boring, but I'm sure Yjarl can manage to get on that little firebug's nerves.

[DocRock]

I'm ready to roll whenever, got a general idea for my first reply.

[DocRock]

@Saarebas
Agreed! I played a few dragons where I came from, and I do intend to post them in my personal CS thread at some point.

@VitaVitaAR
What, Artificers don't count?

[VitaVitaAR]

@DocRock: Not her idea of exciting, but it's not the kind of thing she means.

[DocRock]

I getcha. T'was worth asking.

[Vulkan]

Seeing as Elyan works for hire, anyone want to have hired/worked with him before? Might be amusing.

[Saarebas]

@Vulkan Elyan and Yjarl could of worked together in the past, maybe some player was needing help with a particularly difficult raid or something and hired Elyan. Yjarl would of jumped at the chance to lend a hand and decided to tag along to help them. I'm just spit balling.

[DocRock]

It is possible that Indy crossed paths, only because of his lone adventuring sometimes requiring assistance, or even hiring folks to get materials for him. Who knows though.

[TheFake]

Name (Former): Sato Kaede
Name (Character): Kallahar
Age: 31
Appearance:

In her armour the character tops 7 feet tall as the cosmetic set provides a character size increase. Under the helmet is a plain, pale face with cold eyes framed by rather stringy hair.
Character Level: 58
Character Class: Death Knight
Personality:
Outside of the game Kaede is a laid back small town police officer, easygoing and friendly. She is a bit of an idealist, seeing the best in everybody. She is, however, easily bored.

Inside the world of Emerald Odyssey Kallahar is a ruthless killer with enthusiasm and creativity bordering on the artistic. The contrast with her real world self is what keeps her coming back to the game. When she plays there is a total disconnect between herself and the character. There is no discussion of real life, for Kallahar there is no outside world. The only bleedthrough is Kaede's quick to laugh sense of humor.
Abilities:

Lifeleech: Kallahar's abilites focus around maximizing the amount of life that she can leech from enemies though her attacks. Most of her lifeleech is granted by her sword or other equipment.
Hellbound Fervor: Even in death there is no rest. Kallahar continues to fight after reaching 0 health for a period of time based on her health value before the blow landed. being killed from full health allows her to fight for two minutes.

Skills:

Intercept: Kallahar throws herself in front of an attack intended for an ally, losing part of her armors effectiveness against the attack.
Retaliating Strike: After taking damage Kallahars next attack is amplified in relation to the damage taken.
Relentless Retribution: while under 15% health Kallahar becomes immune to debuffs that affect movement or attack speed.

Backstory:
Kaede always wanted to be a police officer. Unfortunately she ended up in a small village where nothing seems to happen. At the advice from a friend from back home she took up MMO gaming in her free time. Rather than reflect real life in the game, she decided to create a persona that was a total contrast with herself.

The Death knight Kallahar was born, a vicious killer that believes in letting the strongest prevail.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]
