[OOC] Rise of the Shield Hero - Waves of Chaos

[Archangel89]

Could I cautiously add my interest for a position as the Spear Hero?

[Infichi]

Griffon will choose his hero last! XD because he wants to see who is left without aid.

[vancexentan]

@Archangel89You're too late for picking the spear hero. I haven't updated the OOC opening page but I had to make an spear hero to move the plot along. You can make a normal character from the world if you want.

[Archangel89]

Ok just thought I'd ask since insaw that the slot was still open. As a question (I still have to read the OP so sorry if I ask dumb questions) but are Vassal weapons available for use or would it be too early in thr series for them?

[alexfangtalon]

Elysia will probably go with the Shield Hero as she does vaguely remember stories about that specific hero. Even though she doesn't remember the context, and she also thinks he looks like the easiest mark anyway. Just don't have time to work on the post right now.

[vancexentan]

@Archangel89Its currently too early on they may come along if it is fitting later.

[Archangel89]

Ok cool just clarifying my limits thanks I'll get back with more info?

[vancexentan]

Well that's up to you what info you want, or look up.

[Archangel89]

Oops actually didn't mean to put the question mark there lol, but since I have you what's your take on male filolials similar to Filo?

[vancexentan]

Well there's no mention of Filolial Kings but I would assume there would be one, or something similar to one. May I ask why? You'd basically be big chicken for a bit for whatever hero you decide gets the egg. If you wanted to be one I mean.

[Archangel89]

That is true and that would be a hilarious challenge for me to write #1 and #2 I kinda had the idea of a Filolial King being the opposite of the Queen so the Queen (while a massive physical power house in her own right) I picture a King being an unrivaled pugilist and I could really get behind that. Plus I'm wanting a character to play as an humerous counterpart to something sonce I never get to write any real humor

[vancexentan]

I'm not sure it'd be working out how you see. In the show it timeskips a bit something multiple weeks, or months. You'd be a baby chick unable to comprehend things for at least the first part of the roleplay. Up until maybe the week after we stop the first wave which in game is meant to be two weeks. You'd also be unable to make a backstory (a requirement for the CS) for a character that literally just hatched. And having a fully grown Filo King, or a young one just wander into the party seems a bit out of place. If you want me to recommend something I'd play a bard, or something other that lends itself to silly actions, and then have your king idea possibly come in later.

[Hammerman]

So, the adventurers had to be the one choosing the heroes or could it be the other way around?

[Archangel89]

Yeh I've been thinking about it (hence why I said cautiously with my interest) cause I had a very specfic plan in mind for my character and I knew there would be issues that presented itself before I could get off the ground. I like the bard idea and to the everything in on itself the Bard could have the egg that would hatch the future King (since I want the build up) and have the bard be in with a hero or whatever, the bard dies at some point to which he is left the hero and grows into the King. How's that?

[vancexentan]

@Archangel89That sounds as good as it will probably get for that idea if that's what you want to go with.

@HammermanThe show has it so that the heroes don't have much say in the matter the adventurers/volunteers choose for themselves. Because Naofumi is dicked over hard he gets no one then Myne/Bitch assigns herself to him and things go down hill. If you'd prefer other way around you can approach the heroes individually and ask to see if they'd like them to join their group.

[dragonpiece]

I'm getting better at navigating the site on my phone. Hopefully there will be less technical difficulties for me.

[vancexentan]

the skills don't match up to your character's class. I don't think the demi-humans like Raphtalia have racial traits, and bards are primarily team buffers. So Foxfire doesn't seem like it belongs in your character's set.

Here's the standard DnD bard since there is no real one to go off of in the lore of shield hero. A lot of this is DnD jargon that doesn't apply for this rp but it gives the basic jest of it.

A bow could count as a simple weapon but taking skills with it would be archer. Bards a pseudo mages so to speak.

[Archangel89]

I guess I was trying to fit him more in the role of a dnd/pathfinder kitsune and make him an illusionist based class. Although the songs I could have him learn as he levels as a normal bard would do. I can certainly make these changes though and make him a traditional bard

[vancexentan]

If you were running down the illusionist path then you'd should aim for a more traditional mage but I'm not sure how effective illusion magic traditionally is in this universe.
