[OOC] Rise of the Shield Hero - From Another World

[Omni5876]

@vancexentan get your rest man. It is better to RP with a fresh mind than to force the juices to flow.

[Omni5876]

Are we the heroes allowed to know spells? I know that you had mentioned elemental affinity in our CS but I was thinking this was more for our weapon powers. Shoot, I mean, I would have been learning some low level spells.

@Whoami would Auriel know some spells she could have taught Fer? lol

[Whoami]

@Whoami would Auriel know some spells she could have taught Fer? lol

@Omni5876

She could probably teach the two of them some healing spells. But a lot of her healing and magic comes from her divine gift. She seems to be genuinely blessed with a holy gift.

[vancexentan]

@Omni5876As long as they're focused through our weapons I believe so. Didn't Naofumi learn spells in the manga/show? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Omni5876]

you are correct but If I remember correctly they were not truly via his shield. He did learn to make accessories and sytnesis potions via his shields. I will do some research. It may be something that Fer discovers IC. Maybe through some ancient text hint hint there @Whoami lol.

Man I really need more shields. I feel that my character is lagging behind but I dont feel there has been any credible situation for him to feed monsters into his shield and acquire new ones. am I wrong?

[vancexentan]

Well we've only fought bandits but you were given the chance to go visit the armory or something the past few days the king did give you money.

[Omni5876]

@vancexentan I know, but I am not sure how that would have raised my shields abilities. I know that it is able to process weapons and the higher the caliber of the weapon the better but I am not sure how that would translate.

I know in the manga Naofumi actually fed his shield everything from plants, to books to the dead remains of the dragon. I am not sure if I saw him feed the shield weapons. I thought he could not even hold them.

My lack of knowledge helps IC because Fer would definitely not have the background to figure out Isekai type deals lol.

Also, is it my turn?

[vancexentan]

Yes I posted I gave you a chance to ready actions.

As for the shields Naofumi used plants, and books, and what have you at the moment you're in a considerably preferably situation where you can choose what type of metals, or woods you wanted to load your shield up. Some strong, others more flexible. In other words how well you can counter what types of attacks, and what type of moves on the basic level. Likewise we've had a few days of fighting now which let Cole pick up meteor slash which means you should be able to have a similar defensive, or stun oriented ability if you can pass it by me.

[Omni5876]

Ok, let me see what I can come up with regarding the shield situation. I might have to do some research.

[Whoami]

So heads up! On April 19th, the military will be deploying me to the field for a large scale training exercise. I'll be gone from 19 April to anywhere from 26 May - 7 June. I'm not gonna be able to post at all during that time, but I'm definitely not out for the count! So we'd probably be best to either put the RP on hiatus during that time, or Auriel can split off for that time and you guys can keep going until I make my return!

[vancexentan]

Good luck to you Whoami. @Omni5876 Any thoughts on what we should do?

[Omni5876]

Ok, so my suggestion is see how far we get in the fight, if we come to the point where Auriel needs to be somewhere else, then we can address it IC with just Fer and Cole. Later, when @Whoami returns she may do a little solo mission with @vancexentan or something. If we need to put in in Hiatus, I may hit up Vance every now and then regarding building my character and the shield.

I would like to say either is fine but you asked for my opinion and I kind want to lean towards my primary suggestion.

[Omni5876]

submitting the following for approval.

Spike shield

Appearance of Weapon: :

Abilities of Weapon: Shield are able to extend one foot at lower levels up to three feet at higher levels. Piercing damage is only based on the user or the force applied behind it. The spikes only have sharpness at the front. Basically ,a multi spike Targe shield

also, what lvl are we?

[vancexentan]

Looks fine to me you'd need to find the parts that would be applicable via shield though. I don't think you can just absorb say lances to get the length, or requirements for something that includes spikes that can extend.

[Omni5876]

I was thinking more like absorbing ore or ingots or something. Like technically, it is not a magical power but rather an alteration of a targe. So if the shield was fed metals it would have a surplus and as such be able to do the extension maybe? If not, what do you suggest as a valid process for the shield to be able to do what it does?

[vancexentan]

That would just give your shield the inherit properties of those metals like their sturdiness, or ability to deflect certain things better. If you want a shield with spikes you would need to buy a shield with long spikes in them those exist. Absorbing a kite shield would make it into the shape of a kite shield, same with a long, or buckler shield. Naofumi's ability to absorb raw materials gave him the ability to use those and gain his shield those attributes and absorbing generic shields just made his shield stronger. Absorbing monsters is where his truly useful abilities came from. Other than that there is clear RPG Qualities where generic standalone abilities are there like Meteor Strike, or piercing arrows from the bow. You would I imagine have the ability to debuff, or buff your own defenses.

[vancexentan]

@Omni5876Alright so I was more or less waiting to see if you wanted to add anything did you want me to reply?

[Omni5876]

oh yes, sorry if I did not communicate properly. As I stated, IC I have not had a chance to upgrade my shield with ingredients and stuff.

[Whoami]

Oh my I totally didn't realize it was my turn to post! Woops! I'll try to get one up in the near future!

[Whoami]

I'm sorry for not posting after I said I would! I've been feeling a pretty hardcore case of writer's block v.v I will try to get through it and get a post up for you guys today. As a reminder, I'm leaving for the field tomorrow morning so I'll be off the radar until June 7th at the latest (could be back as early as May 26th though). I'll have the occasional opportunity to have my phone in the field so I wont be entirely out of touch, but I definitely wont have time to post while I'm out there.

Again sorry for the procrastination everyone! I'm still very much in for this RP!
