Legend of Renalta 2: Interest Check (Dark Fantasy)

[Sathanas Rex]

I have a question. Will this point system allow for freedom in choosing our character's abilities? Say we are mages, do we get to choose what magic to specialize in?

Certainly. The system was designed by Brovo, actually, to enable as much freedom as possible. A note that mages are a touch harder in the setting to play due to their sheer power capabilities later game. There's an option to design your own school of magic, even. As well, there is a "special" trait slot that all characters start with, where you get to design your own trait and its pros/cons within reason and pending acceptance, allowing for an even more personal play-style and and further customization.

I like this. I am already nurturing an idea, and this is very good news.

Good to hear. Can't wait to see what you've got when the OOC launches ;3

[Aerandir]

I so wish that life didn't pull me from the guild and this rp two years ago. But I'm willing to give a crack at it once more now my life has calmed down and I have time once again....
*bows* If you will allow me to return.

Would you have the rangers return to your kingdom or not totally up to you

[Sathanas Rex]

I would like to speak to you/the admin(s) beforehand, however. My idea will need some smoothing out.

I think there can be arrangements met, my friend. It would be nice to see you back.

Ah, Brovo is the true GM of this thing, its his system and birthchild, he tends to be the most informative about these things. However, myself and Kadeaux (whenever he makes his presence known) are actively helping with this project and can likely give you assistance or hash things out with you wherever needed, if not any of the other veterans to the series who have been watching the new LoR system unfold. If you need to talk, I can be contacted more easily through...

I'm interested. Never took part in the first LoR, but I presume that's not going to be a major issue since you're apparently looking for interest from all sorts rather than just veterans.

Correct. While old characters may have their cameos and play important roles, they're no longer the main protagonists of the story. Kouri for example has to run a kingdom now--she can't go gallivanting off to solve problems by herself now. She has to order others to do it instead.

This role play is going to have one unique thing though, story-wise. The characters you interact with will have actual history behind them, each one with their own personality. They're as close to being living people with their own lives as can possible be really.

Sathanas Rex said
I would second this

Awesome!

Alphakoka said
Let me give this a try.

Better not be mime again. ;)

morituri te salutant, Tempest.

The emperor salutes you back, gladiator.

Tempest said
... I like you. Brovo, I like this one. I say we keep 'em.

... If he dies we can stuff his corpse. That's the same as keeping him, right?

ClosetMonster said
Looks really amazing. Wouldn't mind staking a claim. :)

I wouldn't worry about limited slots with this behemoth.

Naril said
Mm. I'll express interest for this - I think I have a character idea. We'll see if it turns into something more than a seed.

I hope it does!

Yes. You have the following...

Physical Stats, which determine your character's physical capacity for doing things. Note that min-maxing has unintended and unforeseen consequences, like if you all-in on strength but ignore agility and charisma, your character will be an unlikable brick who trips over himself and can't hit anything to save his life despite the fact that if he did hit something it would probably be clinically dead. You can min-max yourself into uselessness, as each stat ties into one another in some manner.

Training Stats, which determine your character's know-how for doing things, such as fighting, sniping, magic, sneaking, talking, etc. You can mix these and physical stats to get unique or unorthodox combinations, like a high agility fighter would make for an impressive duelist, or a high magic sneak-mage could amplify their stealth capabilities in places where it normally wouldn't be possible, etc.

Experience Traits, which are your character's abilities derived from their physical capacity to do things and their know-how to doing things. These have prerequisites which tie into your stat choices, and a good deal of them relate simply to helping you better define gameplay choices, like becoming a crusader who is resistant to magic but cannot use magic, or someone who uses their inner magical talent and charisma to disguise wounds from sight.

Conditions, which are unique biographical background choices and give your character that unique edge over the average NPC to start with. These range from living weapons to non-magical telepathy, to being the "chosen one", to being related to the royalty of a country, etc.

... *Jaw drops*... Aerandir, of course the King's Rangers are still part of Renalta, and of course you are still welcome back. You will always be welcome in Renalta, especially for putting up with a much more inexperienced, juvenile version of myself years ago.

Also, for future notice, Tempest is one of three of my co-GM's. I have two more, one dedicated to playing the nine hells, with Tempest and the other helping me keep things organized and giving me another perspective on things should I need it.

[Sathanas Rex]

I see I see. Things grow clearer.

[Baal]

Interested, but can we get a CS template?

[Sathanas Rex]

HOLY SHIET.

BAAL.

that's my username on another rp site. Oh boy.

[Tempest]

It'll appear in time. I think Brovo might be smoothing that out still. He's asleep now, but it'll be up soon enough. *tips hat*

May blood flow in the name of Baal.

[Sathanas Rex]

Aye, and may firstborns be sacrificed to the kings of hell!

[LimeyPanda]

I reiterate my interest Brovo.

Rightous glory awaits the chosen few: be-headings for the rest!

[ClosetMonster]

Tempest said
Don't worry, even if you have some trouble at first, those more familiar will likely be all too happy to provide help where they can til you can find your feet.

Oh good! Well, it should be fun to be the noob on the block. If not help, then squishy things thrown at my head when necessary.

I like the way you think. *sticks sword into the ground and offers a hand* We'll see you on the fields of battle, soldier (AKA, the OOC CS phase)

[Aerandir]

I wouldn't say inexperienced you had the most interesting rp I've ever been apart of. Thank ye for letting me back into the fold ;) i will need a summary on what happened though since I can't read up on it. When you have time of course. But I'm truly excited for round 2!

*hides in corner thinking up idea for character while stroking RpG page...."my prrrrrrrecious"

Hahaha, oh god, a summary of events?! THAT would be interesting. Are we accounting from when you left off? Or later? Or, like, the 10 year gap of time from the end? I can go on for ages if we're going on from... well... anything aside the 10 year gap : P

[Aerandir]

Ok lol just what happened after I left and how the gods were banished just a quick summery haha
