Cacophony Concord

[ERode]

I'm thinking about stats right now, but there's basically zero chance that I come up with a system that actually relies on the numbers making sense and doing things. That being said, there'll probably be somewhere in the CS that denotes, basically, what sorta stats ya got.

@ERode i wanna spin and kill people

[RawrEspada4]

Guess that's enough people to start helming questions then.

What nation do y'all wanna citizenship in?

@ERode

Velonta would be my first pick and then it'd probably be Alderamin.

@GreenGoat

i want to spin and kill you for stealing my beyblade privileges

[GreenGoat]

you dont even have zieg's weapons you cant talk to me that way

[ERode]

@GreenGoatIf you're an Alderamin citizen, you can replace your feet with wheels and spin in place much more effectively than a flesh-and-blood human could.

[Versa]

Just spec into hula hooper class.

[GreenGoat]

@ERodei am not joking ;w;

I wanna specialize in spin attacks. And be a ninja. Preferably both.

[ERode]

You think I kid around either?

[Cu Chulainn]

@GreenGoat

put your sage's crests in the bag

anyway time to make an inane and convoluted build based off of shoemaking or smth

[ERode]

@GreenGoatIf you specifically want to be a ninja, like, the Japanese media type that nin-nins and then cuts you in half with a dagger while wearing nothing but a mesh bodysuit, then you'll want to have Horogi as your starting nation.

while wearing nothing but a mesh bodysuit

@ERode

oh boy yes please

Do you have any particular ideas for how characters would know each other out-of-game?
Got any character concepts you're leaning towards or set on?

@ERode

Personally I'm on the fence with interest but if you wouldn't mind some opinions on these questions...

1. My vote would be Deneb or Alderamin. Deneb seems like a fair starting area for characters that are to be newbies to the game and get their bearings. Alderamin in the same vein as that, I can see either being fun for starting players.

2. Perhaps like a gaming club in college/university? Although I'm sure the bulk, if not 99% of the RP would take place within the game world, having a mention here or there of outside game drama might be fun.

3. I'm considering someone that joins for fun and gets accidentally super strong? Or something like a girl that makes a bishounen-type avatar, acts a bit dorky and doesn't optimize their skills/abilities but somehow it works out. Probably sword user and uses kaomoji (─‿‿─);

Also, it's human only, but certain Classes, curses, or other stuff will change your race.

@ERode

I'm a big fan of Horogi, but either Velonta or Erid would be my second choice.

In terms of how our characters know each other, the college gaming club sounds workable, or maybe a group of former high school friends deciding to play the game to stay in touch years after they graduated.

For concepts, I wanna be a friggin' necromancer. Undead spam, bone spikes, shadow magic, the works. But mostly minion spam backed up by occasional direct spell support.

Gonna sleep forever now, but a bit of an update.

Starting Nation votes right now be like:
Deneb - 2
Alderamin - 2
Horogi - 1
Velonta - 4
Erid - 3

Possible ideas for why people know each other are probably pointless without actually seeing what sorta characters exist, so here's a character sheet for you to fill out your RL personas.

RL

Appearance (Image):
Name:
Age: If you're younger than 18, certain actions will be unavailable to you in-game.
Gender:
Nationality: All countries exist. North Korea is still North Korea. Taiwan is still Taiwan.
Description: Mix physical description, personality, and background all together here. Would be good to specify their immediate first impressions on Cacophony Concord, but not too necessary. Feel free to go a bit melodramatic or crazy if you want; could literally be anyone around the globe.

The year is near-future, and for people in developed nations, nothing really seems to have changed, beyond electronics getting more powerful and expensive. The world, judging by scientists' predictions and geopolitical conflicts, is still slowly diving towards an apocalypse, but it never really feels like a dangerous time to be alive.

horogi for eastern aesthetic, because east asia is too powerful of an MMO setting
i don't mind the starting zone though, since brawler is pretty setting agnostic.

Do you have any particular ideas for how characters would know each other out-of-game?

being friends outside of the game is probably the easiest

a discord group of super-friends is probably the easiest and most plausible, especially if we all do different countries

Got any character concepts you're leaning towards or set on?

some form of wacky tank. leaning to more brawler-y, involving dodging and parrying blows while horking bricks at people. Something that 100% should not be a tank but still tanks.
in terms of the person behind it, tryhard raider that's decided to finally play the hot new game on the block with friends

[GreenGoat]

We could also be acquantainces that met through a guild, or a random pug to grind an exp event. These are common too.

Alderamin because steampunk is cool.

Friends irl is most convenient.

Support Artificer that either summons a combat robot or uses an exo-suit in combat.

Name: Magdalene Ross
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Nationality: Canadian
Description: Born and raised in bumfuck-nowhere, Manitoba, Mags' choice in hobbies were severely limited. By some extreme luck, her father was quite a figure in professional sports. He also had a horrible sense of money from the fact that he was paid in amounts that included 6 zeroes and everything he used came from some form of sponsorship. Thus, longing for the old days of his childhood (and living in his dream home), he paid an ISP to pipe a spicy cable from the city all the way to his home just so he could play his ancient FPS games without any lag.

As a result, Mags grew up wired to the internet. Not like there was anything else she could do, after all. Bumfuck-Nowhere, Manitoba wasn't exactly a shining example of metropolitan life. From the age of 6, she was already on the MMO grind. By 15, she was raiding the hardest tiers of content with the best of them. Only a sunken-cost fallacy in other games could delay her entry into Cacophony Concord.

One could call Mags an agoraphobic poop-socker. They wouldn't be that wrong, either. She rarely leaves the house she never moved out of. Her job is entirely telecommuted. Personality wise, she isn't the most stable and lovable person. Being raised on the internet, she lacks much of the communication skills a normal person makes. She's toxic much of the time, but spending so much time raiding has turned her into a decent (albeit crass) leader.

Her appearance is pretty par for the coarse for someone like her. Her skin is a mildly unhealthy pale. Her hair is constantly messy and her eyes have deep bags from a lack of sleep. She has a bit of chub on her, but a lack of eating much has in her physique being more small if anything.

If someone were to see her in as a fresh spawn, they'd instantly see a tryhard that moves with purpose.

Seems a fun idea, il bite and see what happens.

Never tried before, so never know :)
