@Tabitha Jade We've actually got a pretty decent mix of races here, and surprisingly elves aren't quite overplayed. Mages/magic is allowed, I am going on more of a dnd (Forgotten Realms if you need to wikki) description of magic. That being said, just understand that the towns people fear/dislike magic. The mayor especially. @ArenaSnow is in charge of all evils, you might want to get with him if you wanted to do anything canon with the story line. Otherwise, the goal is to get everyone else, no matter their allignment, to fight against the evil mage and his diabolical plan to overthrow the universe!!! muahahahaha
I am so sorry haha things got busy at work. As soon as I get a chance though I'll read through what you have and I should get back to you soon! :D
I am leaving work in a bit, I just have to finish up with actual work. So I won't be around, probably until much later tonight, if not, tomorrow definitely. I'm off YAY!!!
@Ryciera i absolutely loved your character and would hate it if you disappeared for good. I do understand though if it can't be helped and is for ooc reasons that you must do so. ic, this current battle isn't the only thing I have planned for you all and would rather you see it through if you wouldn't mind. You have Joseph with you, Jason who you could rp with, and Tirarrian who also just stepped out of the fighting. As I had mentioned to @The Fated Fallen I totally don't mind if there aren't many posts between you all. Ultimately, I would like to see something, little things here and there, but since you're all not part of the fighting, it is completely understandable.
If you still don't feel comfortable with this, I do understand. If you wish to come back after the battle, that is totally cool as well.
@Tabitha Jade I absolutely love both characters. I hope my earlier post to you helps in creating them. I personally like simple, and the key things I take into consideration when judging a character are: 1- Is this character solid/believable? 2- Would she/he fit the setting/story that I'm creating here 3- Would she/he be able to handle themself in the setting or would she/he die too easily/over power the foes too easily? 4- Does she/he have a role in the story or is she/he just a bystander?
obviously I don't want a bystander :p But the number one important thing I look for is a solid concept, because that is what can be built upon, that is what can grow, and that is what will last. :)
I was simply admiring your will to improve, and to be fair it was a pretty good post. Much better than I've seen over half the sites and infinitely better than an RP based in Casual deserves
@IcePezz Okay making character sheet now. Do I post it to here or send it via PM to both you and ArenaSnow?
I'd recommend uploading it to the OOC first, and once it's approved move it to the Characters tab. I find it's just easier to keep track of, because then the Characters tab is filled with characters and not character discussions
Just be glad you aren't like me. I stay up past 3am regularly.
Must? I feel like I'm just cursed to, it's hard to find someone on this site without insomnia. It's still more resting lying in bed than staring at a monitor.
If someone's looking for inspiration, a possible demonic convert or someone of angel class (which would be more heavily scritinized, I admit) could be open as that is part of a future quest. Otherwise "team good" is going to run into a few difficulties.
@The Fated Fallen Mighty kind of you, I am not much of a writer, probably because I am not much of a reader, occasional I do enjoy a good book from time to time, currently reading The Witcher books.
@ArenaSnow I am on the precipice of morality, I feel as though Cyprian wants to be good, but some things may take over... lets hope not. But of course; The RP writes itself, not it's writers, they are merely vessels through which creativity flows. But you'll find or may have already that time and again there will be things you just cannot keep from typing, perhaps things that will kill you inside.
Choices Choices, we suppose we make them... NAY! The ones we play with, write our own.
The tattooes are (not as seen in pictures but are still in the same place) different passages, runes, and spells from ancient books to protect Jade when fighting things stronger then humans. Her hair is almost always tied in a pony tail but her bangs still fall into her eyes.
Clothing/Armor: Jade wears mostly soft leather that is held together by buckles. One can tell just by looking at her that the clothing is specially made and VERY expensive. Her top consists of a simple white cotton shirt that has the sleeves ripped off, over that is her tight leather vest that contains both visible and hidden pockets filled with small knives and small tools, these pockets aren't easily noticed unless one studies her clothing. Her pants are leather as well featuring a metal studded belt that is obviously specialty crafted, on her thighs are two large thigh holders for two long daggers. She wears leather boots up t her knees that are also featured with buckles and have spiked toes in order to deliver maximum kick damage. She wears leather braces with dense metal plating on her forearms to protection whilst using her own weapons as well as protecting against assailants attacks.
Weapons:
This particular weapon has been passed down though her family for hundreds of years. It only purpose is to bind and trap those not of the surface world and return them. It also allows her to go for the kill if necessary. The enchantment doesn't work without the correct chant for the right supernatural or other world/dimensional being.
have runes imbued upon them that help her pack a punch as well as subdue stronger then human entities.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Skills/Abilities: Jade is a purely combat person. Hand to hand and close range weapons are what she is best at. Long range is he greatest weakness for she is not very quick. Though when her weapons are in hand she is deadly accurate, weather with her daggers, her Kansa (the chained dagger) or throwing knives, or her brass knuckles, she can dominate a fight if she is able to use them in the correct fighting environment.
Magic: Only her Kansa, her brass knuckles and her tattooes have magical properties to them, and only aid in the subduing of stronger then human entities. She can not cast, but she does perform chants that ignite the ancient magic in her Kansa.
Backstory: The Orthell family is known for their long history of purification of unnatural and destructive entities from the world. Temples, schools and monuments have been resurrected in their name and are known nearly across the world. But a tragedy happened when Jade's father was alive, where a daemon (of GM's choice) sought to systematically destroy the Orthells by taking over the bodies of family members one at a time and killing entire families. Jade was 9 when her father succumbed to the daemon, having been locked in a binded cell for nearly all her life, his body finally gave out and the daemon broke free. Afraid, she ran to her parents room and hid in the trunk at the foot of their bed, terrified as she heard foot steps come closer and closer, a bright light lit up the trunk, and pressed against her arm was the family Kansa. Screaming, the Kansa imbued her first protective rune upon her left forearm just as the daemon (in her fathers body) opened the trunk and she stabbed him. Momentarily stunned, the daemon receeded slightly, and the fathers conscious came back to recite the words and caused the daemon to be sent back to the nether world.
Now 27 years old, Jade travels the world, trying to rid the world of the same types of creatures that killed her family and is the sole heir to the Orthell line. She has been in Waldeshore for nearly three weeks. Drinking, disturbing the peace, and trying to relax for a while. She has no idea why she is drawn to certain places...but usually...that uneasy feeling is usually unsurfaced in the form of a being that worse then her after 6 hours of drinking and 2 bar fights. Jade refuses to continue the Orthell line and is reluctant to become friends or get close to anyone due to her fear of a daemon overcoming another person she cares about.
