Where's the lie though.
Eyepatches are sexy.

[TheWendil]

I used to have the biggest thing for eye-patched characters. Then I moved onto suits.

Right then, here we are.

Finn

Appearance (Real Life):
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 92 kg
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Name: Finn Bluegale
Age: 16
History: Finn came from a reasonably long line of somewhat successful DGO players who went on to get a lot of money. In his family, good performance in DGO is looked on fairly highly, but Finn thought a little differently. Finn wanted to play Deep Ground, not because he wanted to be successful, but because he wanted to fight. When he first logged in, he got a taste for the thrill of fighting, the sheer freedom that the system gave him. He didn’t have to care about results because he could just fight people. Win or lose, it didn’t matter to him because he loved to fight people. He quickly garnered a reputation as being a weirdo who fought people without regard for levels or exp, only living for the thrill of fighting. As such, he’s won and lost a fair amount of experience, often coming close to level 4 and then tanking down to the start of level 3. His allegiance used to switch almost as often, sometimes being in the white guild to hunt powerful bosses, sometimes in the red guild for high-octane pvp. He has since settled in the blue guild for a bit of both and has made a many acquaintances in many different clubs.
Personality: Finn is a fairly frivolous person who likes to play around, but he’s also fairly lazy and dislikes doing things that have annoying consequences, which is why he likes DGO so much. There's a certain pattern or a set of rules that Finn seems to follow, but he's always willing to make exceptions. He’s often overly familiar with everyone, but those not so close to him can sense that he puts distance between himself and them. There are a few people he trusts completely and he’s often completely relaxed around them, and they can tell the difference between when he's relaxing and when he has some distance between them. In Deep Ground, Finn likes looking for fun fights without thinking of what he’d get out of it and has a built a reputation out of his drive to fight stronger people. Unfortunately, he’s the kind of guy who thinks of doing something kind of stupid and then does it, or gets someone else to do it. His friends have long learned not to listen to him too often.

Other: Finn is Thomas’s long-time friend, though Thomas often wonders why they are friends. He's also part of the basketball club, as well as the newspaper club.

Pretty simple, but I need someone who's kind of an idiot and front line dps for my master plan.

@KoL@TheWindel@Lucius Cypher, how's this?

[RoflsMazoy]

Sorry I've been gone for a while. Could someone summarize the IC for me? Are all the guild kings there? Did we get new people?

@Ryonara

If you're looking for a more micro-oriented summary it's something like;

After Hibiki tripped, the Red King and Green King passed by and the Red King bent down to help. Emmma took the package off her hands which happened to be their new printer.

Kosuke stepped over her to ask Thomas about finding out what the Black Guild's plan for the School festival was, then Thomas invited everybody in for snacks which were on the table.

Then @Reapthemusic's character Erika came back, allegedly being in a coma until the death of Corpse Collector (read this for more info, and our new person @ColouredCyan's character Caitlyn Dunnst swung by the Newspaper club as well.

Erika is no longer a social recluse and is now popular amongst most of the students, and also came in to flirt with the Red King a little bit. @ColouredCyan's character steps into the clubroom a little later.

Meanwhile in the Clubroom, the Blue King who, as it turns out was a benefactor(?) of the Newspaper club, goes off at everybody and takes Erika outside to have a secret conversation.

After the secret conversation, Blue King comes back in and Caitlyn also comes back in, and that's where we're all up to right about now.

It's basically only been about 2-3 minutes since Hibiki tripped and you can basically do whatever you want right now.

[Lord of Evil]

Actually, the Red King picked up the package and Emma helped Hibiki up to a seat.

@Lord of Evil

I think your new character is good. Actually, I like the fact that Blue Nova's Abilities are more or less based around the same concept as Eclipse Princess' but spun in a different way, probably, the two of them would have an interesting fight if they ever get to meet in DGO.

@KoL

Well, I wanted to make a dps high mobility kind of guy, but now that you mention it, they are pretty similar. I kind of feel like a fight will happen sooner or later since if he sees her he might just walk up to her and ask for one, but I'm pretty sure he'd get destroyed.

It'll be fun though, so it's worth. :P

[Lucius Cypher]

@Lord of Evil

Simple is good. Has my approval.

[KoL]

@Lord of Evil

High DPS/Mobility warrior is the whole concept I have for Eclipse Princess, basically, a Lightning Bruiser build, which is why I chose Berserker as a Template, since it's the only one that can reasonably achieve this result within the 03 initial levels by boosting defense and mobility.

If they do get to fight, which she would gladly accept, it would be interesting given that Princess is based on passive buffs while Nova is based on active skills. I'm not so sure about he being easily destroyed as well. Eclipse Princess has a very bad reputation, in fact, but up to now she only ever fought cannon fodder Dissolutions, nameless NPCs, Phantom Regality (on melee, while he was unprepared, where she's obviously expected to excel) and Arms Slave (who's a tank, so he basically couldn't kill Princess before she killed him). When she fought a Duelist (Stark Zealot), she lost for a number of reasons. In other words, a great part of it is born of misunderstandings regarding her. That said, she's indeed stronger than anyone but the Kings, but is not invincible.

Either way, I think that the fist even fight Princess will ever have is against Nova, in case they meet. I'm looking forward to it, really.

[Mega Birb]

@Lord of Evil I never really intended for Phantom to win his engagement with Eclipse, it was mostly to stall for low-level players to escape the city/Arms Slave to show up. Still, he got destroyed, I think the whole battle was four hits or something like that.

[Awesomoman64]

Now that I've skimmed familiarized myself with the story and rules, I'd like to formally ask if there is an opening as I am convinced you've made a deal with the devil to always have cool RPs interested in joining.

[TheWendil]

Ignore this.

@KoL

I suppose, but I'm worried about the gear disparity (or, you know, the lack of gear), cause good loot can be the difference between life and death. But the fight would be flashy as all heck.

Oh yeah, by the way, Eclipse Princess hit level 7, right? Are you planning on keeping her next skill a secret for surprise butsecks or what?

[TheWendil]

@Lord of Evil

Your character is accepted. Place then into the Character Tab.

You are indeed welcome. The more, the merrier as someone said to me these days.

@Lord of Evil

Oh, don't care too much for gear. Despite everything it's still a mostly cosmetic thing. I even omitted that part from the updated CS, I'll be posting soon, because I really think it's not that much important when we don't do dice rolls.

As for her new ability, I announced it on the OOC some time ago. It's even known IC, that Princess got a teleport ability. Basically she got the ability to covert her movement into teleportation however she wants, up to her maximum speed using a single move.

Breaking it, she gained an extra move every round and whenever she moves, she can either do so by foot, or teleporting, as long as he doesn't exceeds her range.

Anyway, I just got a thing to clarify about Nova's shield. He can't use it to become theoretically immune to damage forever, right? If you could describe how you think it can work it would be great.
