[OOC] Aloriand: The Demonlord's Conquest

[Travesty]

Welcome to Aloriand! You've been summoned by a Demonlord to fight for his great cause of complete world domination, and in exchange, he will give the life you've always wanted.

The Pact states that you play as his Champion and do his bidding. Of course, this comes with a few perks — curses blessings that the Demonlord has given you himself, powerful skills that would help you carry out his will, chance to pillage villages, murder heroes and access to tons and tons of richess.

The journey wont be easy. You will find yourself constantly buggerred by Heroes whose main goal is to stop you at all cause. Not only that, you need to tend to the Demonlord's growing village, the only people who believe in your cause. You will need to defend them, command them, and help them get on through whatever problems they encounter in life. This could sound a lot like having a child at first, but trust me, it gets better.

Right, I see you haven't ran away screaming in fear yet. Very well, let's get this evil adventure going then.

This section will serve as reference to all character's knowledge of the world, or recent discoveries. I will be constantly updating this, so feel free to check it once in a while.

Rules

• Follow standard RP rules.
• In case of death, you can start a new character. However, the new character won't have any memory of your previous character or the world, which means you'll have figure everything out again from 0.
• All characters starts with 3 skills max plus 1 unique skill, however, as the story progresses, they can acquire more skills and on some rare occations the Demonlord may also interfere and bestow them additional unique skills if the situation requires it.
• Further developing skills can grant you access to sub skills of that same skill tree (example Fire Magic Mastery level 10 will make you learn Fire Ball level 1 automatically). And on some rare cases, some skills can evolve to becoming unique skills.
• Each level we gain grants us 1000 points to be allocated to our chracter's parameters (str, int, agi, etc.). There's no limit as how much we can allocate per parameter.
• Try to post once each day, or if not, just try to be active as much as possible. Check the thread as often as you can, or say hi or whatever, just so I know you're still alive.
• I'm open to suggestions, don't hesitate to post it here if you feel like adding more details into the RP or something.
• Most of all, have fun!

@Travesty
How much are the states worth? i mean is 500 points in strength would be equal to toss a normal sized human around, or?...
sorry if you already answered in the thread, but i couldn't find it. :(

@malmshodes

Let's put it this way, a normal villager without any specific designation would have an average of 100 to their stats to get through their everyday lives. Whereas, an adventurer would have 200-300 out of adventuring experience. We're kinda above that, so say, 1000 to strenght can wipe out most Class A monsters and below without much breaking a sweat. I kinda wanted to emphasize how the Demonlord have made our characters way too overpowered in this world. Oh and, our characters dont know that yet on set.

Character Sheet

Character Sheet

Name: Abigail L. Zist

Age: 16

Origin: Texas, US 2001

Appearance:

________________________________________

Level: 1

Health Points: 11000

Mana: 550

General Stats:
• Strength - 500
• Endurance - 1100
• Intellegence - 1100
• Agility - 1100
• Dexterity - 700
• Luck - 500

Common Skills:
* Charisma 1- Individuals who user communicates with automatically lower their guard upon contact (outside of battle). Upon higher levels the user will be able to convince others to do what they want and be more accepting of things which are harder to believe.
* Danger Sense-User has heightened alertness and can sense danger before it becomes apparent to her basic senses. AS skill levels up user will be better able to predict oncoming dangers.
* Lightning Magic 1-User is able to discharge powerful bolts of electricity from their fingers. AT higher levels user will gain new ways to manipulate electrical energy, and release greater amounts of electrical energy.

Unique Skill
• Hephaestus - Objects regularly used by the user will gain upgraded/ evolved forms. These "forms" are based on a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to: how often the user uses said object, the average emotional state the user is in when using the object, how the object is actually used, different objects used together and desired intent upon using the object.

______________________________________

Personality: Abigail lives for the thrill, or challenges and novel experiences. She's quick to become bored and often finds herself making list of things she would rather be doing. Often times this need for variety leads her into trouble like when she purposely creates difficulty for herself or others merely for the chance to see a reaction.

As far the demon lord is concerned Abigail is neutral. While she does believe that things will work out to her benefit, as far as personal interest and a means by which to have fun, she's certain things will take a turn at some point in time. She's heard enough stories about forces of evil to know that dealings with them always end in bites to the bum.

Short Background: Abigail was born and raised in a very orthodox family of Christians, in a fairly busy city. Which was fine if not a little boring as her parents denied her many of the eccentricities of everyday life. Things took a turn for the worst when her father became entranced by the ideas of a man named Marcus, whom convinced her father to say his small store and join in on their familial community. Which was a cult, that worshiped dirt.

The people in the cult where kind if not a little dull. Their daily lives consisted of toiling in fields at night as the sun, with the great blue sky was an affront to the ground. They were also against space travel, television because of the signals from the sky, internet, and anything that existed due to digital innovations.

Abigail grew bored of this life fairly quickly and at fourteen ran away from home, and kept away, living in streets and making a fairly decent living thanks to her charming personality, and willing to take bets and odd jobs.

[I Need A Name]

Hey all! I have a couple of characters I'm mulling over. Though the first one admittedly has a little less thought put into him.

option 1

Name: Ranchor

Age: 18

Origin: Kyenn'k, 1073 RE

Appearance:

________________________________________

Level: 1

Health Points: 49950

Mana: .5

General Stats: ((all characters starts out with 5000 points that you can allocate to the parameters below))
• Strength - 1
• Endurance - 4995
• Intelligence - 1
• Agility - 1
• Dexterity - 1
• Luck - 1

Common Skills: ((common skills can manifest on multiple people at the same time, although since you are from another world, these skills are slightly better compared from other people's))
• Translator Level 1 - Automatically translate foreign language to user's mother tongue, and vice versa.
• Rage Level 1 - Grants the user resistance to weapons and status, and a boost to physical damage. Additional levels in this skill increases resistance and damage.
• Tracking Level 1 - Grants the user proficiency in tracking targets. Additional levels in this skill can develop bonuses in tracking or advantages against the target.

Unique Skill ((no one in the world has it except for you, you can only have 1 for now))
• Avatar of Ferocity - The more hp the user has, the more damage they deal. User cannot gain benefits from magical healing and must rest to recover lost hit points.

______________________________________

Personality: Ranchor looks for the best in each fight. A true test of strength is the pinnacle of what to strive for; bodily perfection is the way to celebrate life. The thrill of battle and the promise of the next keeps him motivated. He cares not for formalities, or arguments. The things are the way they are until someone with power comes to change it.

Short Background: Bestial in nature, their society was built on the survival of the fittest. Chiefs were the ruled by show of strength and lead their villages in unity for the sole purpose of survival. A lot of Ranchor's ideals fit his tribes themes as they roamed the swamps to conquer the land and fend off attackers. It wasn't until adulthood that he attempted his own show of strength, challenging his chief for the right to rule.

My own wips though, I'm going to have to switch devices so I'm kinda just dumping them here :3 Should be fleshed out in the next day or so.

[Travesty]

Awesome! I'll review them once I get a few hours of sleep.

On a side note, for skills I suggest you get the very basic skills at first, so as the story goes it could branch out to more complex skills. Also, its a lot easier for you to think of what skills to get if you already have a certain path you want your character to be - Magic Caster, Warrior, Tank, etc. So get skills that could potentially benefit your character in the long run. And lastly, I highly advise you to get at least one skill that could help you in a fight (well, at least will make your character be able to fight). I had this one RP where everyone only got support/life skills, and during the first major monster encounter they just didn't know what to do with their sewing skills anymore, just saying.

I think I'll make a few modifications with my character too, depending on what you guys come up with. Please make a magic caster.

[malmshodes]

@Travesty
Which reminds me, how does magic work, as far as in the character sheet. For example, is fire ball a basic ability or is it destructive magic and then fireball, or?...

[Travesty]

I'd say start with a specific elemental affinity first. So, Fire Affinity Level 1 will allow you to use fire spells and fire's basic application (survival wise). You can even further sub categorize to passive and active skills for that respective elemental affinity - fire/heat resistance for passive, and Fire Ball for active/offense skill. Then the list goes on.

EDIT: Goes the same with weapon mastery skills like Sword Mastery, or Bow Mastery. This should allow you to use specific weapons and learn their respective passive and active skills.

[malmshodes]

@Travesty
An update. I've got my character's stats and skills figured out. Just trying to decide on how I want to play her, personality wise. From there the backstory should be easy!

[malmshodes]

@TravestyOkay. I think my CS is readied to be reviewed.

[I Need A Name]

Alllei

Name: Alllei Rhodes

Age: 18

Origin: Japan, 1984

Appearance:

________________________________________

Level: 1

Health Points: 9000

Mana: 300

General Stats: ((all characters starts out with 5000 points that you can allocate to the parameters below))
• Strength - 2500
• Endurance - 900
• Intelligence - 600
• Agility - 300
• Dexterity - 300
• Luck - 400

Common Skills: ((common skills can manifest on multiple people at the same time, although since you are from another world, these skills are slightly better compared from other people's))
• Translator Level 1 - Automatically translate foreign language to user's mother tongue, and vice versa.
• Telekinetic Level 1 - Grants the user the ability to manipulate small objects. Further leveling in the skill allows for larger objects and stronger manipulation.
• Iron Fist Level 1 - Unarmed attacks from the user are just as effective as any other weapon. Further leveling this skill grants user more damage when unarmed and also allows them to learn more unarmed type skills.

Unique Skill ((no one in the world has it except for you, you can only have 1 for now))
• Attuned to Mana - Casting spells is easier for the user and can be done without cost as long as they're in a mana rich environment.

______________________________________

Personality: Alllei is no stranger to apathy. Feeling anyone who isn't her, isn't worth the breath to respond. She has her list of people she approves, though the number is less than she'd bother to count on one hand. Everyone else would just as soon get a fist to the face if they step in front of her as she walks down the sidewalk. The few people on her list are subject to her teasing due to lack of availability. Alllei takes what she needs. Though she doesn't need much unless she's directed. In her own way, she takes care of others as long as they are able to pick themselves up.

Short Background: Alllei worked at the bar all her life. In one fashion or another, she took care of the place; building, cleaning, repairing, serving, managing. Getting to the point where she'd eventually run the whole thing herself. It was a simple job, and she was accustomed to the drunk men whenever they'd overstay their welcome. Throwing them out whenever they became a problem or otherwise incapacitated. She ran a tight schedule and did her job because it paid her bills. She didn't have a life outside her bar; sleeping on the couch in the office upstairs.

@malmshodes

Alright, for HP and mana, the parameter is based on your Endurance stats x 10 and Int stats / 2 respectively. On your case, HP should be at 11,000 and Mana is at 550. Also, a quick question on your unique skill, is it something Abigail needs to activate every time she uses it? Or is it something like a gained experience that passively accumulate based on how often she uses a particular object?

Alllei's stats and unique skill is a bit contradicting to me. Wouldn't it be more practical if she has more Int than Str to take full advantage of her unique skill? Although her unique skill should nullify Mana requirement for casting spell, adding more to Int will increase her magic damage. Is there any particular reason why she has more to her Str stat though?

[I Need A Name]

Telekinesis is more utility than damage. As much as I'd like her to be able to cast relevant spells; personality wise she's a brawler more than a mage. Character wise, I was looking for a good balance between the two without leaning too heavy into magic. Though it would still be her goto for ranged targets; she'd be deadly at close range.

@I Need A Name

I see. Well, the world they're in is not really restricting in terms of learning new skills. As long as they're capable and their stats allow it, then there shouldnt be any problem. With Allie's current stat, she should be able to learn basic ranged spells just fine. Also, I wouldn't really worry about Mana cost since she wont be using a lot of spells for a Brawler. May be consider tweaking Allie's unique to something more beneficial to her as a Brawler? Like, I dunno, convert mana molecules around her to Stamina so she can stay in a fight longer, or something like that.

ooops. Sorry about that. I changed the stats around and forgot to update.
The ability is passive so items gain experience with every use, which she doesn't have to activate. Though I'm not sure how often the transformations should take place.

Cool. Seems about right to me. You can post her up on the Character's tab now.

I'll start making a draft for the first post and should be able post may be tomorrow, or by Friday the latest.

[I Need A Name]

@Travesty Eh, if you're ok with her I am. I still kinda like her current unique better. Maybe it isn't the best, and I might think of one better; but I'm fine with it.
