[OOC] Knights of the shaped tables (Fantasy/Comedy RP)

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

Well, do you think we can make some funny all by ourselves? And how hard would it be to stumble upon a new knight if we get a late joiner?

[Deserted]

I'm game to game. Sometimes the best games are those with few. I would say keep it open for when our current interest get going or new people if those who have posted already back out.

[Roleplayer001]

As I said, it's the interactions that matter.

Imagine my guy falling in love with someone and trying to show it. Things that force him to attempt normalcy or CANT use bloodshed and suffering as a solution. Of course, he's also a former (?) cannibal. That may lead to some interesting situations.

Ultimately, the CS doesn't make a RP funny or not funny. It's the people.

[Deserted]

Those strike as creepy and strategic, like a Hitchcock film, and not funny at all. What am I not seeing here?

I think your humor is being lost in translation. Are you meaning that he is a undeniably evil guy that is trying to be "normal" in those situations? Because currently from what I understood what you have down is that he is so cunning and evil that he will use those situations only when he has no other choice and even then he would use them only as a front to cover his true intent.

Let's take the dating situation, your character would simply abduct the woman who catches his eye and rape her until he realizes that she fears him enough to accept his favor.

[Roleplayer001]

He's sadistic (understatement), not the reincarnation of the devil. Just note that every one of the examples I gave someone did SOMETHING to offend him.

The peasants are peasants and don't really count as people. This is more a matter of raising than personality.
His family abandoned him and his sister rejected his attempts at kindness from a young age.

Although he goes out of the way to cause those pain a hundred fold what they dealt to him, he doesn't just walk around on the street randomly and stab people. I don't think he'd be in the guild then.

Of course, it is the GM call. He DID request sadism in a blood knight so I made him sadistic. Perhaps I went too far.

@RabidAnubis

In all honesty, I was expecting more of a "comic sadism" for Blood Knights. I don't have a problem with your character though. True, he won't have as many funny moments as some others, but every comedy needs a few people who give (or at least try to give) some common sense to a group of retarded misfits. I think your character will get along with our Demon Knight as they are both the most logical out of everyone, although it will be interesting to see how a spoiled brat interacts with a cannibal who clawed his way to nobility :)

@Everyone:

I'll work on the first IC post then. We'll just pick people up as we go along on our journey :D

[Rultaos]

IC is up. Get posting everyone.

If anyone joins in late, I'll just squeeze them in as late additions to the squad, or through other means depending on the circumstances. I'm also still open to suggestions on magic. I've been tossing a few ideas in my head as well :)

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

Will post asap. These past few days have been crazy IRL.

[Deserted]

Ga! Every time I can post, the site has been worked on.

[Deserted]

lol, try that one on for size!

Remember to copy paste your IC somewhere (like on Notepad or MS Word). That way, you don't lose it if the site goes down for maintenance :)

@Deserted and Illogical Jim

Good posting you two :). I'm waiting for the rest of the team to get their IC ready before I post again. Deserted, I'm kind of wondering why Chance suddenly felt loyalty towards people he's barely met. I'm not saying that he shouldn't. I'm just wondering why, considering he's such a negative guy who barely gives a damn about anything. Also Jim, good luck having Anna even getting Karadar to consider relationship thoughts. He'll either be completely oblivious to it, or run away from it as if it was a Deal with the Devil XD

[Deserted]

That's the name of the game, now isn't it? Almost every role playing game, TV show, movie, and video game kicks off with this forged friendship that sees them through thick and thin with little reason for such loyalties. Star Trek comes to mind. Captain meets crew- *poof* suddenly they are a "family" and even a transfer or promotion is seen as a funeral. LOL! I just figured I would run with it.

Besides, Redshirts are almost always slavishly loyal even unto death. I think it is a clause on their birth cirtificates.

[Illogical Jim]

Hehehe.

[Roleplayer001]

I will be posting today.

[Rultaos]

Since Supreme Vampiric Evil appears to be having problems in real-life, I'll just puppet his character for now (as accurately as I can). Andred Karrion is relegated to NPC status until SVE gets back in touch.

I'll get an IC post up as soon as I can. Keep the creativity coming, fellas :).

[Rultaos]

I finally post an IC and you all go quiet on me? What happened?

[Deserted]

Sorry, I was taking it to mean that you were going to show us around and an "I follow" wasn't needed.

[ReaptheMusic]

excuse me... are you still accepting? ^.^ is there a kind of knight that hasn't been taken yet?
Well, I guess for now I'll just post up a character sheet vuv

Name: Elizabeth Spark
Age: 24
Gender: Femme

Personality: Elizabeth just can't sit down. She's always bursting with energy and has to be on the move. Sitting still for too long can cause massive muscle spasms and quite possibly endangering all around her with the amount of energy she has to give. That aside, she can have her more calmer moments. In general shes overly optimistic and hyperactive to a T. She can see everyone around her being stoic at times and does her best to make the most of every situation. Yet she's the one always getting into the worst situations, getting caught in things she shouldn't be doing. She does have a sad past but she believes in always looking forward.

Affinity: Elemental Knight; Lightning focus

Appearance

Appearance (Normal):
Appearance (Armor):

Biography:

Orphaned at the age of three when an attack hit her home, killing both her parents, Elizabeth was taken into an orphanage. While she was raised in the monastery the orphanage was held in, she always had a knack for adventuring out on her own. Any chance she got she'd run away, hopping on the backs of wagons and sometimes disappearing for days at a time. Some of the children would follow her, nervously, wanting an adventure of their own; although she was the only one who had the heart for it. She stole what she needed to eat, and was usually pretty good at not being caught. One day though, she finally was apprehended--three villages over from the orphanage. This occurred when she was eleven years old, stealing from a shop illegally selling books on magic.

The shopkeeper didn't alert the authorities, fearing he would get in trouble for the wares he sold. Instead, he made a bargain with her. If she came back to work for him he would allow her boarding upstairs. Without a second thought she agreed, never returning to the orphanage. She worked in the shop ignorantly selling magic books and items. When she got bored, she would read through the books, learning all the spells, the ones she took the liking to the most were the elemental spells. She also read about the Magic Knights and decided, one day, that she would continue the adventure with them... and that meant learning magic, and swordsmanship. For those next few years she rigorously studied elemental magic and begged the knights that passed through the village to teach her to fight, and defend herself. When she was fifteen she had enough experience just by studying the leather bound novels that she decided to go out in the middle of a lightning storm to attempt to control the bolts of electricity. With the will power, she managed to bend it into her will... before being struck by the lightning.

Bedridden for several days, Elizabeth came down with a nasty fever. By the end of the week she could barely stomach meager amounts of food... and she noticed her energy had intensified. Ever since being bolted with the lightning, she couldn't sit still. She found she could now manipulate the lightning, as though on that stormy night she had asked for its power. And it had been granted.

While the shopkeeper that had taken her in gradually started to fade with age, she was outside, running around, playing with lightning and learning to fight with the many knights in the village. She was becoming her own warrior, and she loved it... So when the shopkeeper died, it came as a shock. Everything in the shop was taken-and then investigated. Then she was questioned about the magic he had been selling, much to her surprise. She had no idea that for all those years of her life she had been doing anything wrong or illegal. Elizabeth had no idea the responsibility that had been laid on her shoulders.

She was chased, the knights attempting to apprehend her as for the illegal practice and trade of magic outside of the Guilds. She runs now to the Guild, in hopes to be chosen, somehow, to be amongst the Magic Knights. And even if she isn't... she'll just become the most hidden stowaway yet.

Arsenal: One shield, Three blades: One is just for handling along with a shield, the other two are dual wielded for extreme offense. Lightning curls up her blades when she fights, delivering a minor shock to her opponents that strike against it.

I was just waiting to see if there was any reaction to what Karadar said. Maybe an opportunity to show the quirks of characters. Also Deserted, DO NOT break the 4th wall. This is a comedy, but we are not supposed to break the 4th wall! Treat your characters as if they are real (just very eccentric and/or dimwitted). Also, I don't think you should've attacked RabidAnubis like that. I understand it may have been for laughs, but I don't think he will find it funny. And I WILL NOT stand for an internet fight breaking out between you two. I swear I will kick both of you out if that happens...

The main point is, I encourage you to make jokes. You are allowed to make fun of the characters within the universe (no breaking of the 4th wall). But do not make fun of the roleplayers themselves. I guess I'll have to put down some actual rules then...

In the meantime, I suggest you change your IC post, Deserted.

ReaptheMusic said *Character application*

Yeah, we could definitely use some people :). The application looks good. It doesn't match up with the elemental Knight description, but given her "unusual" powers, I suppose there could be an exception. Besides, I think the hyperactivity is enough to display her physical strength (Maybe she should be talkative. As that seems more fitting). She will instead, develop a personality like the other Elemental Knights IF she attempts to master the other forms of the elements.

If any of the other players has an objection or suggestion, just speak your mind.

If I may make a suggestion though, we can say Elizabeth was never officially admitted into Excalibur Guild, and instead sneaked in, found Libra Squad, and pretended to be a late addition to the team. You don't have to do it like that if you'd like a different method. I'm just offering an idea
