[OOC] Ragnarok: Gods Descending

[Baconator]

Updated with images of said weapons. Will work on bio.

[BCTheEntity]

@Orior: Kaze a-Raken is basically Hokuto Shin Ken, which follows the tradition of Isshi Souden; this effectively decrees that a father's trade can only be passed down to one son and heir, presumably for reasons of honour that I wouldn't personally be able to explain effectively. In the case of Hokuto Shin Ken and the associated story, this was done by either erasing the memory or destroying the fists of any other practicioner of HSK; Kaze a-Raken would presumably have followed a similar decree, had the Descent not forcibly scattered the active practicioners of the art across the world. Naturally, the effects of this will be discussed in greater detail over the course of Koe's story.

[Orior]

@Inertia Thanks for letting me know!

@BCTheEntity Ah, ok. That sounds interesting; cant wait for the finished product.

[Baconator]

Still working on bio! adding little by little.

[Wulfgar]

Hey, Im interested in this! Im new to RP though, Im working on my character right now! The skill point system is confusing me so its going pretty slow!

[Kimiyosis]

Just realized something...
How does a Lycanthrope carry stuff in animal form?
I know wolves and the like would have less of a problem, but...well....a crow....>.>

[Orior]

@Kimiyosis
I'd imagine that would be a struggle your character will face; it's used to being nomadic and not needing supplies, but now it can't forage enough to do so, it would have to adapt. Your character might just not travel for extended distances in their animal for, or maybe youll find an unconventional way to carry things around as her animal form.
@WulfgarAsk any questions you need!

[Baconator]

Bah! My time is up for today. My weekend is going to be pretty busy but i'll be back on Monday.

[Kimiyosis]

Trying to find the amount of SP we start with >.>
Needs halpz~

Human

Appearance:
Wulfgar has long silver hair and grey eyes. He is 5'11", slim and his muscles are very chiseled. He wears a black hooded cape over his armor, the hood covers his face to hide his identity, the bottom of the cape is tattered and torn. On his left shoulder he wears a gold iron shoulder guard, he has straps going across his chest and his back holding the shoulder guard in place, these straps also allow him to hold a staff on his back. He wears a black and grey leather shirt, and 3 black belts around his waist, the belt forms a grey and white tabard that falls over his right leg. His pants are a grey and tattered white color. He wears iron plated boots to protect his legs from harm.

Personality:
Wulfgar is very quiet. He likes to be alone, this is due to his past. He does not want to be around people for fear of losing control of his power and harming them. However, Wulfgar has a kind heart, he will help those when they are in need and protect everyone he can. If a person can get close enough to Wulfgar they will realise his good natured ways.

Morality/Religion:
Once Wulfgar worshiped the god Arrela, the White Witch. He thanked her for giving people the ability to use mana for magic. However once the war started and the Gods began to destroy Reath, Wulfgar lost all hope for the Gods, he broke away from religion and set out to defend the helpless. His morals are good, although his powers seem to be evil, he cannot help the powers he has.

I was very confused about the SP stuff, if i am wrong correct me. You said we get 1 free class, and 1 free spell.. My class was mage and i got my free spell... for 1 class outside of the free one its 1 sp and then for a 2nd outside its 2 sp... I have my free class (mage) and my other class (swordsman) so i paid 1 sp for that.. correct me if im wrong. This is what i got so far ill make changes if needed and work on the bio

[Orior]

@Baconator Thanks for letting me know! That's fine.

@Kimiyosis Your character will start with 6 SP (its in one of the paragraphs in that section somewherez).

@WulfgarHmm, I'm at work right now so I can't really go over this with you right now but; you get free things depending on your class. If you're a mage, which I believe you are, you get a magic style and a spell for free. When did you copy the CS? I've recently changed it to explain some things, like last night recently.

[Wulfgar]

@Orior I copied it from a someone on the first page, just erased all his stuff and filled in the lines.. Yes Im a mage, my style for that is Shadow, I used a free spell to cast Shadow ball, and paid 1 sp to cast shadow barrage.. Outside of the class i paid 1 sp for swordsmanship fighing style because its my first one besides the free one, I thought maybe thats how it went?

[Orior]

@WulfgarShot you a PM

[BCTheEntity]

Right, I've gotten Koe's character sheet mostly done, save for the latter part of his biography. I'll most likely finish him off tomorrow, but in the mean time, I'd like you, @Orior, to confirm that his skills and abilities aren't overly OP, with the note that dyl-Dracken Kovos is basically a combination of enhanced strength, speed, and toughness as natural abilities, with some flavour and drawbacks to their presence and overuse.

[Kimiyosis]

How much SP would be required to, well, ++ or +++ a style?

[Orior]

@BCTheEntity Bwah. Please don't think im a giant bitch. >< Im really not trying to be. :[

:| To be honest, he is more over powered. To the point I kinda want to ask if youre trolling me. :/ You have two abilities which are claimed to kill people instantly; that's OP. I feel the need to say that no matter what your character is doing, they will not be a master. I edited the OP to say that our characters will be weak; I know this happened after you applied, but I did make you aware of that.

If you use mana, it is a magic style (that's what magic is in this setting; using mana), no matter how little; so the style you describe is both a fighting and magic style, which is fine, it just increases the cost.

I would like you to look at my character's spells. He can't really do much, and he's supposed to be the most powerful person in the party. These abilities are cool and adaquet for a monk of considerable power, so its not like youre off base or anything, its just... your character isn't a bad ass. :/ ( Kragen isn't either, even though he makes himself out to be in his story and has renown, his character is still powered fine, and ripe for an ass beating by monster~.) Your abilities imply that he is a master of his art; to do so, you'd need to put more SP into it. 1 SP just buys you the style; how could he have all these techniques and be a beginner in the skill? That's the point of the SP system, for me.

The ability you mentioned has some interesting points. Where does the 30% number come from? The fact that it affects three things, speed, strength, and damage resistance and it costs 3 SP is good; however, it is the scale at which you are trying to use 1 SP that I'm having issue with. Tripling your strength for a time for 1 SP, sure, but being able to do it instantly and passively is not ok for that cost. I think some of the problem might be because you're going from an anime character... which, tend to be... grandiose, with their fighting ability. >>

@KimiyosisEach upgrade is 1 SP.

[gammaflux]

Don't worry BC isn't trolling you. If you're wondering how I know this, it's because both BC and me come from the same site and have both participated in RPs together. He's a seasoned roleplayer. His only downside is he usually creates OP characters trying to get the most advantages as possible. :p

But yes, you can trust him. Also I came to say I am still interested in this game but I will not be able to create my character today. Tomorrow I should have most if not all of it completed. (Probably.)

@gammaflux

I know that feeling, tryign to barely touch the limits, without going over.
Once you have enough experience though(and a good amount of creativity and ability to explain things out), even a mediocre character can be OP.
Also, with time, you start knowing how to hit that limit without breaking it, and without needing to confirm. Unless it's your first time with a certain character type, then that is a new experience.

Also, which category of magic style would...well...seductively draining through a kiss be >.>?
Charm?

[Orior]

@Kimiyosis Well, seduction would be Charm. But life draining would be Blood or Necromancy, either would work. (Though you can do it sexily for free)

[BCTheEntity]

@Orior
Right... well. I really need to rework this guy, then. Uh... I'll need to think that one over. I will say, I'm used to playing in settings of rather higher power than this one presents itself as, or at least ones where the PCs start significantly stronger than the layfolk, as opposed to "merely" somewhat stronger. So, er... I'll think about how exactly to depower him, and get back to you on his abilities and biography.
