[OOC] Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

[Turboshitter]

@Turboshitter okey dokey... angel it will be not! lol I'm starting to talk like yoda here. As for not adding picture.. that's a little bit of a tricky thing. I'm currently running on incredibly slow internet in the workdays. Like so slow it takes minutes to load a picture -__-'Tomorrow I'm going home and will add picture when I get home :3 as for the angel part hmmmm... I suppose I can answer with she is keepign her clearly not very human looking appearance under wraps with magic or something like most NPCs are in Overlord, but I suppose I can change it to a human. It's just that I kind of cringe every time I see how they made the angels in overlord xD It's so bugging me that I mentally delete that memory xD

@rivaan

Heh. Yeah it's a weird contrast to demons, though I fully support the idea of a floating fetus using jedi mind tricks to look like a maid or something like that xD

*Turbo is totally not trying to create his own Pleiades, no sir*

Also, anyone have ideas for the name of the guild? I did provide a brief description of who they are and what they do, but I understand if anyone wants to wait for further info. Once we have enough names, I'll put them up for a poll!

@Turboshitter

lolol xD That's some totally not convincing me to go with the fetus maid idea there xD
But me is hev a question! When will more be know about hte layout of hte guild? cause I need to decide on where to put her residence.

hmm on another note, I do wonder if my npc will be aware of her creator's death. I mean the npcs in overlord seemed to have been aware of pretty much everything that was going on in the guild.

@rivaan

That'll hopefully be revealed today once I finish the first batch of GMPCs and move on to writing about the guild hall. Right now though, I can give you the short version:

Carved into the side of a volcano that juts out of the bay like a great blaspheme to the gods, the dread fort Deadship (they were going to call it "Dreadship" and drop the "dread" part from the subtitle, but someone fucked up entering the "r") sits on top of what is both an active, oozing volcano and the largest concentration of precious metals and minerals in Nidavellir, home of the dwarves. This iconoclast in the middle of the sea is home to none other than [INSERT GUILD NAME HERE], coldhearted and soulless monsters wearing the guise of men who care for nothing but profit. Monopolizing one of the server's largest deposits of natural resources and using it to establish some sort of bedeviled bank, they use it as their base of operations to barter for items and information, selling what they earn and what they know to the highest bidders. But do not be fooled by their facade of salarymen and bankers. The fort is armed beyond your wildest dreams, with a sentinel for every penny in their pocket and more traps and curses than a mummy's tomb. So beware... beware [INSERT GUILD NAME HERE] of the dread fort Deadship!

And there you have it :P

[rivaan]

@Turboshitter Aweeee it sounds lovely~

[Dead Cruiser]

Should have a CS up someyime tonight. But I'll reiterate my question from earlier: can we have NPCs that have been created by our player characters? Perhaps a mini CS for these characters?

@Dead Cruiser

Yes but I expect a full CS for them, because reasons :P

@Turboshitter

Ehh, now that just sounds like work.

Also, jus to express my opinion here, I don't quite like the angle of us being a guild of douchebag, edgy badasses. The "information broker" idea is a good one, as no official guides or lore exist for YGGDRASIL, but the bank idea I think is just kind of ridiculous. I also rather dislike the name for the guildhall, it feels like something that wasn't proofread, and not in the funny way that you're aiming for.

Not trying to shit all over everything, just expressing my feelings regarding what you've proposed. I can help work on it later tonight.

@Dead Cruiser

Eh, was that how it came about? Sorry, that's not what I intended. The idea was less "edgy badasses" and more "ughhh, fuck those guys". See, the guild itself is run like a business, which means they display the average standards and practices expected of such (i.e. soulless, money-sucking corporate scumbags). Like you said, they specialize primarily in buying and selling information as well as bartering for items using gold. While looking out for you and your own isn't necessarily evil in the way a PK guild like Ainz Ooal Gown was, it does give you a reputation as scammers and soulless sellout fucks, especially after you've gone behind numerous other guild's backs and sold their competition information or rare items that turned the tide of battle for them against their rivals. That and while the idea of compiling guides for newbies and posting them online sounds like a righteous enterprise on paper, it also means the guild has a long history of scamming which it probably isn't too proud of.

The guild isn't a bunch of uber-feared, edgy PvPers who dominate the game with their leet skillz or whatever (like certain other shows), they're just opportunistic virtual entrepreneurs. You're thinking of assassin's guilds and mercenary groups like the Dark Brotherhood or "generic MMO anime badass guild #1547" when you should be thinking more like the mafia or the Thieve's Guild. The MMO equivalent of white collar criminals.

While it's true the fort is well-defended, I was lapsing into a bit of dramatic prose there just so I describe the place in a very stereotypical swords and sorcery kinda way (also, if you can figure out why I decided to call it that and what the name is a joking reference to, you get a cookie).

[rivaan]

so they are basically every merchant organisation ever xD money to rulz them all! xD

[Turboshitter]

Also, if you think the idea of someone running a bank in an MMO sounds ridiculous, you seriously need to get on EVE Online's level:

xD

[rivaan]

eve online is a corporate world mmo! it's full of corporation and secrets and conspiracies that if someone does something wrong the whole world will explode
xD

[Eklispe]

Surprisingly jumbling the letters for Ainz Ooal Gown makes as much sense as the name does.

@rivaan

Yeah. Suppose I can downplay the bank aspect. Really I just remembered the whole "information" guild thing that the wiki and novels just offhandedly mentioned and thought it'd be something cool to do that wouldn't result in a group of super-edgy tryhards (while still not completely ripping off Log Horizon :P)

Like I said, I appreciate everyone's input, and you're all welcome to critique and contribute to the guild, its history, and the worldbuilding. Also please, for the love of Ainz start coming up with names. We need a name, people! xD

[rivaan]

*cough cough* Diamond lake? Laughing coin? Merchants of backstabing :3 Dunno I was never good in naming things :3 I have a 3 hour bus travel to get home tomorrow, I will tyr to think up something then xD

[RedDusk]

Fyi creating a lizard man tanky anti-mage monk. In case anybody had that idea..._{*Looks around suspiciously*}

@Eklispe

Well, I'm gonna make a demon zombie tank guy. Will that be a problem?

[RedDusk]

Ah, neat. Also, sorry for asking so many questions, but can you elaborate on the item classes? I know there are world items, guild items and divine items, but what about other classes? I looked around but couldn't find anything about that.

@RedDusk

Also repeating my question a little

[Turboshitter]

<Snipped quote by RedDusk>

@RedDusk

All we really know about are Legendary, Divine, and World-class items. Thankfully, at the level most of us will be at, Legendary and Divine will be the average item quality for our players.

uuuuuhhhh my eyes hurt... So much writing, studying, and being creative with my character.... X.x I'm gonna take a day long break from it.

@Gilgex

No problem, take your time.

[Turboshitter]

Whew! Holy crap. Finally got the example sheets done. They're up on the first page. Meet your guild master and token evil teammate.

Now, moving on to writing about guild information and reviewing the sheets that have been submitted so far *headdesks*
