Whew. I'm finally done. Just turned midnight here for me XD

[agentmanatee]

Already got mine in! 7 foot tall cannibalistic knight FTW, also midnight here fer me too

[OneWayOut]

Later if anyone wants to discuss and put heads together, i'd be interested in making a list of creatures and beasts that roam the lands and such.

[icmasticc]

Keep in mind I do have some rather twisted creations of my own, but I'll be more than happy to see some additions lol. Just remember, this is a dark fantasy roleplay; the darker and more grotesque, the better.

[Rockette]

..huehuehue.

[FantasyChic]

I can only imagine what the bosses are going to look like, cuz those have been some of the scariest things I've seen in gaming.

[icmasticc]

Some of the stronger enemies are going to be things that haunt your dreams @FantasyChic lol.

[agentmanatee]

So BTW is the section where we may add things to the world coming up soon-ish? I need to put down the God Eaters so Erickson's cannibal stuff has more of a reason and he does not just sound insane

[icmasticc]

Yeah, it's just basically a section I'm gonna add to the OP. What I want you to do is write out the history as you see fit and I'll add it to the new section. I'll also format it to look like in line with the rest of the OP. Send me the history via PM an I'll get it up.

@icmasticc
How creative are we allowed to get with our weapon choice?

Can I draw inspiration from the Bloodletter Weapon in Bloodborne or is that too "fantastic" for the setting?

@DOOM TEA

That's actually a good question. While this roleplay is intended to be more grounded than your typical fantasy, I do want to allow creativity to flow through (especially since there are supernatural elements at play). Go ahead and play out your idea and I'll go over it when you PM me your CS. The only aspect that really matters is the weight and material. If the weapon is really big or made of heavy materials (which in turn connect with other materials in order to transform the weapon somehow) I'd expect you to know that your character will be slow in wielding such a thing. We'll see what happens once I see it.

[icmasticc]

I've added a new section to the OP titled "The World of Zenith". Check out that section for info on how to get things you create added to the world.

I'm about to head out to work, but I'm also letting everyone know that I'll have my own character up tonight when I get off. I'll be around to answer questions and PMs via smartphone during the day so you can still ask anything you need to and PM me your character sheets as you complete them. Once we have a certain number of approved sheets, I'll close the RP to new members and we'll begin the IC. For now though don't worry, there's no rush, take your time with your character creation. If you'd like some of your characters to know each other prior to the beginning of the RP, you can work that out amongst yourselves as well as I have no problem with that.

Hey all :) Been reading up for a while, and I think I'm finally ready to jump all the way in, and make a character. Seems like we could probably use someone that can heal people; I imagine these characters will be getting beat up a lot.

In any case, going to start on the CS. Couple questions for the GM, though: first, for the combat system thing we have, it says "Every attack on a player character causes HP to be lost." I'm assuming that means only attacks that hit? Are you leaving it up to us whether attacks hit our characters or not? Second, would a long-sleeved shirt of chainmail, covering the body from the waist up, be considered light armor, or not count enough and be considered no armor? I'm fine with either, just checking.

Lastly, I think I'll be creating a semi-religious warrior-priest order, if that's cool. Involving fair amounts of fire and healing magic. Hopefully I'm not swiping anyone's idea out from under them.

[icmasticc]

@Luminosity

Good questions first of all. You are correct on the combat system in that only attacks that hit will cause HP loss. However, I will be controlling NPC enemies so you only have to worry about your own character's actions. How a hit is determined depends upon the type of enemy, the weapons they are welding, the type of armor the player character is wearing, and things of that nature. Battle is meant to be a dangerous affair so expect to take some damage during encounters.

I think I would consider that light armor. If heavy armor is full body plate, then light armor could definitely be armor on only certain areas of the body. No armor is just that--no armor whatsoever.

Finally, I like the idea for a warrior-priest order of sorts. Keep in mind though that magic is still poisonous so the scale and frequency of use could have serious repercussions on the members of this order. Depending on how you create it though, it could work.

[Luminosity]

Mmkay, sounds good. I definitely don't mind taking damage in fights. Not much fun in it otherwise, haha.

And I'm definitely taking the poisonous magic into account for the order. They aren't exactly known for their long life spans :) I'll elaborate on them a bunch in my CS, and we can work on any changes I need to make when I PM it to you.

[icmasticc]

Sounds good, looking forward to it @Luminosity.

[OneWayOut]

Kinda want to start making the list of creatures/beasts/ghouls but not sure how to start and how to let everyone take part.

Any ideas?

[icmasticc]

The best way to do it, I think, would be either a group PM or an outside chat source like pirate pad or some such. I think people may be waiting until the RP begins to see what creatures I have in mind already. Don't worry, it's really early, you don't have to rush it @OneWayOut lol

[OneWayOut]

Genius!
