[OOC] Lantern

[twave]

@Mokley Kind of. Eye color and the jaw structure is different. But the former could be attributed to art style.

[Mokley]

@t2wave Right. Anyway, any thoughts on the previous question about where to start out?

[twave]

Probably would be better to have him with the group.

[Mokley]

Ok. Since @TheDarkTemplar and @Keplo appear to be MIA, we're going to assume that the pirate side of the story is continuing behind the scenes and the focus will now be on Anise, Simon and Chris.

Templar and Keplo, if you're still with us I'd love some feedback on where your characters are at now -- I can totally backtrack and rewrite if the turn of events isn't working for you. Just trying to give your characters the best opportunity for quick development. :)

Edit: Aaaaand banged out a post! t2wave, let me know if you have any questions about the scene you've been dropped into. Essentially you're in a forest at night, with a very battered and dusty princess holding a blue lantern, and a black wolf the size of an elephant.

[drewccapp]

It's a pretty good thing that they're separate from the rest of us who are fairly close to each other at the moment. Things can get pretty messy when people leave in the middle of conversations and stuff.

[twave]

I'll try and get my post in tomorrow. Today was rather busy for me.

[Gisk]

So, it seems like the idea here is that a new player doesn't need to know anything to start.

My one big concern is geography. If I, as the player don't really know anything, how can I reasonably write the character navigating the world? Is there a solution to this, or has it just shown in the past not to be a problem?

[Mokley]

@Gisk Hi there! If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that your character is summoned suddenly into the game. All characters originate from alternate planes of existence, and have appeared here in this unfamiliar world. @t2wave has just now joined the game, you could check out the latest mod post and their first post to get an idea what's happening with new characters. :)

If that's not what you were asking, you may have to expand upon the question. :)

[Gisk]

What sort of limits are there on character creation?

[Mokley]

Your character should be a human from a medieval-like era (I'm flexible on this though) with no magic powers and little to no combat experience. The point of the game is to start out completely unprepared, and gain abilities and weapons and allies as you go.

[Mokley]

Hay guys! I found a song that totally reminds me of this RP. x3 Children of the Sun

Tell me when it's my turn to post. I'd like not to interrupt!

[drewccapp]

I think we may be ready, but I'm not 100% sure. There isn't much left for t2wave to do except respond to Anise and that wouldn't be much.

[twave]

Yup. Sorry for my delay.

[Mokley]

Hm, well the characters could use a little bit of a breather. There's not a lot here for me to respond to right now -- unless I have something else attack or complicate the plot further, neither of which I'm too keen on at the moment. ^^;

Plot's way too complicated already. XD

Actually.

Simon just screamed, and he's not far from you guys. You should've heard him. ;) Reus would've raised his head and perked his ears, but I don't think that's worth a post on its own.

[drewccapp]

There we go! We are now grouped up! Huzzah!

[Mokley]

Woohoo! *does a dance* Thanks guys. xD I was afraid for a bit that @Red_massa would end up interacting only with me for the rest of the RP -- until he becomes the Big Bad and fights you in the final battle. I mean, uh ... *cough*

So where shall we go from here? Might be worth noting that the blue stone on a chain is lying in the grass next to Simon -- it contains the Lady of the Pond. Of course she can be left here to rot like she deserves. ;)

Also Chris needs to discover his own shiny abilities and allies. @t2wave any ideas on how you want Chris to develop? Are you interested in allying with tech or nature? Good or evil? Any types of powers or elements you think are awesome?

[twave]

@Mokley Sorry for not replying sooner. He would probably go to the side of good and even though he knows tech I think it would be more interesting for him to go with nature.

[Mokley]

Awesome posts guys! I'll see about putting something in for Reus, as well as a change in scenery. @Red_massa feel free to jump in if/when you like. Tyaelaem's body should still be here too if I remember correctly. Talan was about to burn it but was interrupted.

[twave]

Well I had hoped that Red would have replied but I suppose I will have to post again.

[Mokley]

If I remember right, @Red_massa mentioned this is the only RP he's in on this site -- and since RpG doesn't have an email notification system (something it sorely needs imho) it's just a matter of remembering to actively check the site. He'll be around eventually. *poke* x3
