[OOC] Overlord: Momento Mori

[Lucius Cypher]

I was also wondering if we should include Special moves or something, since a lot of what Mamoru can do is based off the techniques she has, many which aren't mentioned in the wiki. And tbh, mostly based off pokemon moves.

[WIP]

Appearance:


Name: Gromgard
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Military General
Residence: Second
Character Focus: General, DPS
Personality: He stands mainly silent and preferring to speak through his actions, though he is not afraid to speak with his deep and gravely voice. He always shows kindness to the young and innocent. (TBC)
Notable Equipment: On one hand, he wears a gauntlet with a large, round Amber gem. This gem allows him to control a small group of goblins (currently 5) that do anything he says.
Creator Information: (What was the person that designed your character like? Why did they make you the way that they did?)
Total Level: 50
Class Levels: 25 (R)
Race Levels: 25
Alignment: CN

Stats: (All stats go on a percentile range from 0-100, with 0 being extremely unusual. Stats normally cannot exceed 100, but keep in mind that a level 60's 100 in HP is different from a level 100's 100 in HP. That is simply the stat cap for their level. I'm not implementing a set number of points for this since these numbers are largely arbitrary, but they sure do look pretty, huh?)
HP: 100
MP: 25
PHY. ATK: 75
PHY. DEF: 100
AGI: 5
MAG. ATK: 75
MAG. DEF: 50
RESIST: 25
SPECIAL: 95

Dominion: His floor has only 3 large rooms; his personal bedroom with a huge bed and a small fireplace, his goblins' room which looks like a total mess, and his torture room which hasn't needed to be used just yet. (TBC)

@Rockin Strings

I'll hold off on giving my full opinions on the sheet until its finished, but I wanna say first off that him controlling 5 goblins should probably at the minimum be bumped up to 50. Goblins can level up and get strong in Overlord, but they generally start off extremely weak.

Question, my character relies less on unique items, and more on unique skills or passives. Can I just swap out the Notable Equipment section for a Notable Skills section?

@Stern Algorithm

That's perfectly fine, since it fits your character design.

I was also wondering if we should include Special moves or something, since a lot of what Mamoru can do is based off the techniques she has, many which aren't mentioned in the wiki. And tbh, mostly based off pokemon moves.

@Lucius Cypher

I was going to have it be that you can, for the most part, pull stuff out of your ass within reason, but if you want to make a list, feel free to just add a section under Equipment for techniques/special moves.

The Draconic Curator

Appearance

Name: Kath Erine

Gender: Female

Age: 628 (Appears 17)

Occupation: Librarian and Keeper of Records

Residence: Chapter IV: The Athenaeum of Historia

Character Focus: Out of combat, Kath helps the guild's members search through previous chat logs and notes they may take for roleplay purposes. In combat, she is best at acting as a Support Healer while in her human form and as a AoE DPS in her dragonoid form.

Personality: Kath is best described as reserved and thoughtful. Her presence can often be missed in most gatherings as she prefers to listen to what others think and consider her options over giving a quick answer. When put on the spot before she has finished pondering though, it is not uncommon for her to become somewhat flustered and stumble over her words. It isn't that she is slow, but rather she gives herself too much to contemplate.

In her dragonoid form though, she becomes the incarnation of rage and animal instinct, lashing out at anything that moves and even anything that may attempt to stay still. Nothing is safe from her ire, not even her allies. However, she prefers to avoid using this form unless she's in real danger. Or if someone attempts to enter the forbidden section of her library.

Notable Equipment:

• Grimoire of the Beyond - Anyone who may look inside the book's pages will only find blank pieces of paper bound together within this tome, but Kath can always be seen reading an unseen entry from it whenever she casts any spell. Whether it be because she sees something others do not or out of some strange habit, no one knows.
• Cloak of the Cataloger - Increases Kath's magical defense as well as makes her feel more comfortable when in the metaphorical spotlight, as if she could wrap herself in its fabric and disappear if things became too much for her.
• Ring of Tending - Decreases the cooldown on any spell last used upon an ally.

Creator Information: Kath was created by the strangely named Kiss My Axe. He was known for having great ideas that would soon escape his memory, often requiring to write things down in order to ever recall anything. However, his frequently extensive notes and pension for disorganization would still cause trouble for the man when forming any coherent story while roleplaying in YGGDRASIL. Kath would become a godsend in keeping track of what he had already written in the past, as well as following the stories of his friends and fellow roleplayers.

Dominion: The Athenaeum of Historia

Kath's library is a strange place. The entire floor is filled with shelves upon shelves of books, reaching all the way to the high ceiling above. It is well known that whenever a guest isn't looking, the book shelves like to move and change positions, acting like an ever changing maze. The only people who are able to cross from one side of the room to the other without trouble are guild members and those following close behind guild members. Otherwise, unless a cunning strategy is used, any intruder shall be forever lost within its ever transforming layout.

Interestingly, Kath seems to intuitively know where each individual book rests upon its shelf, as she can find any tome requested of her within seconds. Any text she looks for is also always at eye-level for her, with the librarian never needing to climb or bend down to pick out exactly what she needs.

Recorded within the countless books that make up the Athenaeum are records of all item descriptions, background lore, guild finances, wanted lists, player notes, and public chat logs ever posted to YGGDRASIL's servers. It is also rumored that hidden within the far corner of the library sits a vault covered with chains and locks, with access only granted to Kiss My Axe and Kath herself. What lies within is unknown, though rumors range from lists of exploits to break the game to private chat logs of eRPs. In any case, Kath is extremely protective of whatever lies within and shall refuse entrance to anyone, even her fellow guild members. If someone were foolish enough to be caught attempting to break in, she shall show them no mercy.

@Guess Who

Good to see Kath back. Go ahead and pop her into the character tab, she's accepted!

@The Irish Tree

Thank you!

Also, good to see you guys again @Lucius Cypher and @Lugubrious. Been a while.

[Lucius Cypher]

Yeyo sipper, another dragonoid! We should totally have our girls hang out and rage against random people together for funsies.

[Guess Who]

Totally. Now my book-ish dragonoid has got a bestie before the IC has even started.

[Xaltwind]

Oh, another cutie, and one that's easily flustered when put on the spot? Silke's gonna love this girl~

That being said, am I really bad at math or something? I've gone over Katri's levels three times now, but I still end up only getting her total level to 55... Am I missing something? Does whatever form she isn't using at the time count as 5 unseen levels? Or am I just miscalculating? o_o;

[Xaltwind]

D'oh! Double post! >_<

@Xaltwind

Nope, I totally miscalculated. But because Tree didn't point it out to me while reviewing my sheet, I'm passing the blame to him and saying it was his fault. Bad @The Irish Tree!

[Xaltwind]

Bad GM! Baaaad!
Shame, shame, shame~!

All the Chapter Keepers so stronk...! Except Factory Manager Man, he isn't that much more powerful than Silke.

EDIT:
Added a 'Total' summary at the bottom of Silke's stats, like they have on the Overlord-Maruyama wiki. She's rated at a total of 480, making her tied for the currently weakest NPCs.

[Guess Who]

I might as well do the same while I'm already editing.

Huh. Stats wise, dragon form technically reduces her total stats... Just going to edit a bit more despite how arbitrary it is.

[Xaltwind]

MIN-MAX IZ SRS BZNZ!
How else are you going to gloat about how your numbers are bigger than the numbers of your peers? Surely, wagging your E-penis over everybody else is the single most important part of any character comparison!
[/sarcasm]

Also, hah! Weak dragon is weak! >:P

[Lugubrious]

@Guess Who Hello, hello. Hey, given Kathe's extremely expansive records, I can imagine Graft often visiting or requesting resources in order to get more precious information about what the Supreme Beings bought, sold, and were interested in, particularly from the legendary chronicle known as Trade Chat. He'd also be just generally interested in accruing information about the world or culture, anything that might benefit the guild. He and Kathe might not be friends, given Graft's sometimes overwhelming persona and her more introverted one, but they would at least know each other very well. So, well-acquainted coworkers, perhaps. Maybe Graft, often relying on her presence and ability to just manifest needed books, is always trying to start conversations about his products, new inventions, questions about the Supreme Beings, offering to loan out his Guards to defend the library, and so on.

@Lugubrious

Yeah, that makes sense to me. Considering their positions and personalities, it would almost make zero sense for them to not need to collaborate and such.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Xaltwind

Yeah just tallied my stats and I’m surprised that Mamoru is also tied with you as the weakest NPC. Her Dragonoid form can up her stats up and she has stat boosting moves but ye, girls kinda weak.

Kaldorna the Red-Eyed Mistress of Monsters

Name: Kaldorna the Red-Eyed Mistress of Monsters
Gender: F
Age: 713
Appearance: Kaldorna is a female vampire with aging grey skin, hair white as death and glowing bloodshot eyes. She wears a stylish navy blue admiral's jacket which hides chainmail vest protecting her upper half, while down below she wears pantaloons, greaves and armored boots. All of her garments are elaborately decorated with golden thread, and all of them have seen a lot of wear and tear from being worn around monsters. She wears a simple cutlass at one hip and a brace of pistols around the other.

Occupation: Beast Master, Mistress of the Hunt, Sports Commentator.
Residence: The Hunters Lodge, which houses the caretakers and hunters of the Beast Pens.
Character Focus: Minion Master, Buff Caster, Monstrous Cavalry
Personality: The Master of hunters and beasts values spectacle above all else. The thrill of the chase, the battles where everything is on the line, passion, rage, heroism, treachery, all the intense act and emotions that make people feel truly alive are the things she adores. Meanwhile she abhors undue cowardice and those who prey exclusively on those far weaker than themselves because it means they aren't challenging themselves.

When speaking they have a flare for the dramatic, and contained with the old woman are buckets of energy and enthusiasm for whatever task she sets her mind too. While she loves their master’s menagerie and his hunters their true passion is commentary. Under Kaldorna’s watch the area hosts more than simple battles to the death. Instead she ensures that the bouts get the passion and flare befitting such glorious combat, treating it as a veritable bloodsport Kaldorna turned her tongue to the task pumping up the excitement of both any onlookers and the combatants themselves and will sometimes even intervene if he feels like the fight is too one sided.

She cares a great deal about her beasts, but more so collectively than individually. Her creator insisted on capturing a breeding pair of every monster, and so the loss of an individual exhibit is not a tragedy. However, should all of a kind of beast die she would be distraught by the damage done to her creator’s prized collection.

Notable Equipment:
Hunting Horn: Summons the Chateau’s monster hunters, a band of hardy warriors specialized in the art of capturing and subduing beasts of all shapes and sizes.

Cutlass and Flintlock: A pair of sidearms kept for only the most dire of circumstances when something or one manages to slip past her beats or she finds herself without their company.

Monsters Training Gear: Simple tools like a whistle, laser pointer, whip, chair and indestructible rubber balls for training, controlling and entertaining the various beasts under her command.

Wand of Commentary: A commentators microphone attached to a stick so it can be carried around and used for live commentary or interviews.

Monsters. Just. So many monsters.

Creator Information: She was created by Sun200, the self proclaimed monster hunter extraordinaire who’s obsessive quest to capture two of every monster in the game, no matter how useless or hard to contain they where, for breeding purposes rapidly swelled the population of the beast pens to un-manageable levels. To handle the care of all these monsters Sun2 created Kaldorna at the behest of the guild so that they’d have someone, anyone, who could supervise the care of the hunter’s ever increasing menagerie of beasts. He wanted more than a simple warden however, and so Kaldorna was also placed in command of Sun2’s hunters while they where on base or acquiring food for the beasts and over organizing, supervising and presenting gladiatorial combat in the arena for entertainment and training purposes.

Dominion: “Beast Pen: The dwelling place of the "Pets" of the guild. Managed by the most savage servant of the Chateau, who communicates with the beasts as an equal. They are typically fed intruders, or, when invasions are running dry, low level monsters will be brought in to satisfy the beasts. The Pen also connects to an underground training area, where Death itself is warded against. Here, guild members and NPCs may spar with beasts of their level, in order to test themselves.”

[Lugubrious]

Another NPC who's all about pumping up her chosen passion, huh? Something tells me that if Kaldorna and Graft worked together, whether on an event or in a fight, they'd make an unstoppable force of hype and advertisement. Nonstop over-the-top auditory bombardment! Funnily enough, they're also exactly tied in total stats, at 520.

I'm now imagining them riding in a commentators box mounted on the back of a heavily bio-modded hydra which has a bunch of loudspeakers bolted on the side. Look out new world, the Chateau needs fresh meat and we're going to get it one way or another!

Funnily enough, they're also exactly tied in total stats, at 520.

Well that's an odd coincidence. Possibly one I should ruin by lowering her stats a just touch so she ain't as strong as a floor boss.

@Lugubrious

Question, how wasteful is Graft and his chapter? I ask because materialism, commercialism, and consumerism are often defined by a sense of wastefulness, ie. discarding a perfectly good iPhone 9 for the new iPhone 10, or even worse, the very concept of engineered obsolescence. I want to make my character's chapter a prettified garbage dump, a Toyland that collects unloved and unwanted things and pretties them up, giving the illusion that they are loved and wanted. A crapsaccharine land of abandonment and resentment, mostly for inorganic and non-living materials that get turned into dolls and things. Or is Graft and his chapter highly efficient and resourceful, finding a use for anything and everything, and always finding ways to recycle broken or unused components?
