[OOC] Overlord: Momento Mori

[Xaltwind]

Alrighty then, I was just curious. No spoil, plox! :<

She reminds me of a more vicious Eclair Eclair Eclair! Except instead of being an adorable little penguin dood, hell-bent on taking over the Guild Hall through cleaning, she's more just scheming sociopathic plans to get rid of everyone... Just in case(tm). xD

[Archmage MC]

Yep. But she'd rather be friends with everyone if possible. "Its a lot more fun when you aren't alone. Plus cuddling is fun."

Also I have a feeling Ashara from your changes is going to hit on Light isn't she? They're both flirty looking characters it seems xD.

[Xaltwind]

I think Ashara would actually want to avoid Light if at all possible, to be frank. For one, since she uses primarily Spirit-based magic and Physical damage augmented by the Shadow-element, Ashara has - currently - no means of hurting Light, at all - except for fighting her bare-handed. Why is this important you ask? For the sole reason that Ashara, being a spirit, has the ability to sense (un)intentional malice, ill-will or hostility towards her, and she would rather not spend time with someone who pretends to be nice, but secretly harbos conspiratorial plans for her - even though she can't tell what they're conspiring or why they are. xD

Finally, a single hug from Light would potentially be very dangerous for Ashara, and even if she's polite, and not very bright, she still wouldn't want someone who steals her precious spiritual energy (and mental faculties) clinging to her - no matter how cute they may be. :P

I also get the feeling that our resident Beast Pen Commentator is gonna try and trap the poor fox-girl, when in her fox-form, and stow her away in one of the cages down in that hole... :(

Erryone too dangerous for my youkai-waifu! HALP!

[Archmage MC]

Aw, but Light doesn't harbor hatrid, she doesn't really 'hate', shes just prepared. But yeah, her being an energy stealer/sanity drainer is a real problem xD. Ashara and Light are supposed to be friendly to each other no? I don't fully understand how the guild stuff works, I'm imagining a guild from most games, just more in depth. So yeah. Light is nice overall, just neutral at how her niceness goes. She'll do evil and good things as she sees fit, but will be overall nice. Chaotic neutral is fun xD.

I think being trapped is a bigger problem xD. Light just wants to hug people and be their friend. Beastmaster lady might want a few nibbles though... xD

[Xaltwind]

Nibbles? More like, a breeing pedigree... xD

As for getting along... I mean, if you look at the characters in the Overlord series, many of them squabble quite a lot. In particlar, Sebas and Demiurge, Shalltear and Aura, Shalltear and Albedo, Albedo and pretty much any other female(s), most of the Pleiades are jealous of Narberal. That said, they might not outright hate or detest each other, but they certainly don't always get along. Ashara is polite and gracious, so she would never stoop to outright disliking or scorning someone - less they somehow upset her nigh-infinite patience - but that doesn't mean she 'gets along' with everyone. :P
After all, she is very honest... Very, very honest, and - as per her creator - has preferences and opinions of others.

"Ah, Director Graft, good morning~ *bow* My, you are looking as grotesque as always, I shall pray for your body's swift recovery."

"Oh, milady Chuunithulu, a good evening to you. Oh dear, the stench of tobacco is really thick around you this eve, a lady should take a bath every once in a while. *friendly smile*"

You get the idea. :3

[Lucius Cypher]

Ye, with so many ladies around the air will be thick with passive aggressive commentary.

“Ashara, you’re so fluffy I could make a coat from all the hair in the bathroom.”

[Xaltwind]

How dare you! Ashara grooms herself at the shrine, that hair is not hers! D<
OUTRAGEOUS!

And Ashara isn't passive-aggressive! She's just not tactful or considerate about what she says, she dun mean notin' by it! :<

[Archmage MC]

Oh jeez, I just noticed that xD. @Lucius Cypher

I don't fully get the overlord stuff, I'll pick up on things as the RP goes along. Also some Light quotes, at least for now.

"I love the way you talk Graft, but we need to do something about your complexion. xD."

"OK everyone, lets get along and hug it out! Don't mind the whispers, they just mean I love you."

[Lugubrious]

It does bear acknowledgement that aside from Rodias the only male character, and thus the only male NPC, is Graft, who's genial and obliging to just about everyone, though out of everyone so far I bet he'd want to be around Light the least. So there will be plenty of opportunity for catfighting, I imagine. Odd that there would be so few outright evil and egotistical jerks in a guild in what's supposedly an evil guild. Of course, it makes sense that allies would try to get along, and they'd certainly be pretty vicious to intruders.

[Archmage MC]

Yeah, poor eldritch girl wont get much love due to the insanity thing, even though all she wants to do is love people. (Although maybe a bit too hard, in the case of non vault intruders. think Tiny toons elmira, but a lot more violent when the hug gets too tight.) Got a feeling Chuunithulu will like her though, since they both seem to be based on Lovecraft stuff.

So, how deformed is Graft? Are we talking kind of almost zombie, or what? I'm imagining a more steampunk Alistor from Hazbin Hotel, but also a bit more decayed.

[Archangel89]

OK I'm having some trouble with my stats. Primarily my guy is a tank so I know that being tanky is a must but I want to make thing seem fair and balanced so any thoughts? This is by no means finished this is just to give you guys a look at what I'm working with.

@Archmage MC

Not really. He's not undead or anything. With his heavy clothing on he looks pretty human, albeit with slightly weird skin, since he is a Homunculus. He does have nanoflesh forearms, hands, calves, and feet, as well as a whole lot of extendable biotech tentacles on his back, but they're usually inconspicuous. His inner mouth, teeth, and eyes are also biotech, but they're fairly subtle. If he uses his Bioengineer abilities on himself he can make some changes that stand out more, but yeah, he's usually not that deformed.

Also, crap, you sussed out one of my inspirations. I didn't think anyone would know!

[Xaltwind]

Is he a physical, magical, evasive or resistance tank? A mix? Generally, "tanky" characters have high Phys.Def and/or Mag.Def, average Phy or Mag.Atk, below-average Agility and varying degrees of Resist. It all depends on what type of "tank" you want him to be, really.

Also, as Tree said, stats aren't really that important, they just look pretty, really. Just look at the stats of the other, already-approvedd characters and consider what you think is fair and appropriate. :)

[Lucius Cypher]

@Archangel89

Stats alone are both important and not important. That is to say, having 100 in Physical Defense doesn’t mean you’re invincible: it just means that you have the highest level of defense for a character of your level. And I’m sure there are some techniques or attacks that either aim for your weaker defenses like magic defense or ignored your defenses entirely via damage over time effects or just doing percentile damage.

Not to mention if You put so much points into defense you won’t be able to put them into offensive stats, so even if you’re hard to kill you’ll also not be much of a threat. And if you don’t have agility than you’d best have a range option otherwise characters can just kite you to death. And if you don’t use a lot of magic abilities, you don’t really need MP but if you do you will need a lot of MO if you want to consistently use your specials and not just your basic attacks all the time.

Ultimately stats aren’t as important as what skills you have. Any buffer type caster could probably just stack buffs to make them statically the strongest character, but with out the techniques and skills to utilize them they’re just an over buffed mob.

[Archmage MC]

@Lugubrious Alistor was my fav character from Hazbin. Can't wait to see more of that series xD. I can def see Light hitting on Graft if he is normal looking then xD.

@Archangel89 Don't worry too much about stats. Light for example is a tanky brawler that does some strong damage and has middling stats otherwise., but she is about ability and resistances more than base stats. She has no magical attacks, and I only gave her a magic stat since she has an insanity aura and such. Just amp your defensive stats compared to her and have low attack/agi if your trying to get a baseline.

[The Irish Tree]

@The Irish Tree Should I add/change that Light is anti-caster a bit? She can catch, store, and use evocation spells fired at her, so yeah. And would that be part of a race or class? Still working out details and stuff like that xD.

@Archmage MC

That'd probably be part of her Classes. Something like "Mage-Killer" or something. I can see the need to add it in if that's a core focus of her character.

[The Irish Tree]

It does bear acknowledgement that aside from Rodias the only male character, and thus the only male NPC, is Graft, who's genial and obliging to just about everyone, though out of everyone so far I bet he'd want to be around Light the least.

@Lugubrious

Graft has completely ruined my plans for a harem, and as such must be executed with impunity. There can be only one Y chromosome in this guild house!

Also, its not that the Chateau is evil inclined. Its just that everyone in the guild was an edgelord.

@Archangel89

Given his tankyness, I'd imagine that at the very least both Defensive stats would be in the 70-80 range, maybe with one going to 90-100. Agility would definitely be low, and I imagine his actual magical attack stat would be decently low, but with the reasoning that he kinda just raises a bunch of undead.

Other than that, obviously needs high HP. Also just wanna point out real quick that Necromancer is a High Class, not a base class, so it could only go to level 10. So, you have five free levels if you wanna diversify his class levels a bit more, or maybe take another caster class to take advantage of him being a lich.

Liches got magic, after all. Could focus on supportive buffs/debuffs. All just suggestions though. I sure hope he doesn't turn out to be somebody's father, because with his name that'll just be real awkward.

[Xaltwind]

Lol, them images... xD

[Archmage MC]

@The Irish Tree Oh crap, everyone was supposed to be an edgelord? Welp, Light is creepy, but shes no edgelord. She will probably pick on any edgelords to be fair... Also shuffled Light's classes around a bit. I'm still not 100% on class stuff. xD

[DracoLunaris]

Also, its not that the Chateau is evil inclined. Its just that everyone in the guild was an edgelord.

and as we all know Chaotic neutral is the edgiest of alignment of them all
