@Diggerton@hoppiholla391 Are you guys planning a post, or do you need more from me? I'd hoped we'd have a little breather in which to collect our thoughts, but if no more posts are incoming, we'll go ahead with more chaos, haha.

@Mokley

I'm having some trouble getting up a post, so you can just go ahead and put one up.

Fantasy Dungeon Crawl: Take 3

Which means playing music that gives magical effects like weapon buffs and recovering stamina.

@VitaVitaAR

I'm not really sure what the point of player-defined classes are if you're going to micro what they're supposed to be. I was under the impression it was just a little flavor, and not 'if you pick this it must fit into these specifications'. I don't get the issue with a bard being able to do more with his instruments then buff if that's Silence's interpretation of a bard.

As far as hikkikomori goes...Social anxiety = subculture now? And NEET's something completely different. It just means someone who is unemployed and not at university. Which COULD include someone really hardworking, but who hasn't found employment yet. Or didn't quite do well enough on university entrance exams.

@Tachi

Sure, when I said subculture I was exaggerating but I think you're ignoring my point entirely: There are groups of people that act contradictory to their traditional culture. Am I wrong?

<Snipped quote by Diggerton>

It is for them to go against every bit of a culture and get an intense hatred of the entire thing.

... and NEET is an English acronym. I assume you mean hikikomori, which isn't a relevant example at all.

@Raineh Daze

Well, I do speak English so me using an English acronym is expected. And it is totally a relevant example. Japanese society traditionally is based around virtues of honor and workmanship. However there is a culture of people that go against that.

@Diggerton It's not 'acting a different way'; it's coming from a certain culture and then... having absolutely none of those cultural values and generally being their opposite for no reason. Take a typical dwarf, and then making them a teetotaller hippy who shaves and doesn't care about his people. Or the Drizzt clones.

Or badly written foreigners in series, who act like natives with a funny accent.

@Raineh Daze

It's not uncommon for people from a certain culture to go against its values; take NEETs in Japan which come from a very hardworking culture or people raised in highly religious communities and become atheists. It's definitely not crazy for someone to go against cultural values.

@SleepingSilence: Er, well... I'm a little confused as to why you picked a hundi, honestly, since their whole thing is being a bunch of honorable warriors. They're also pretty rarely seen in Velt, except on their coming of age quests or as adventurers and sellswords.

Basically I'm a little confused as to your race choice when you're not going for the race's main thing. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

It's hard to make the argument that every member in an entire race would act the same way, I'm sure there's more room for flexibility then that.

Fantasy Dungeon Crawl: Take 3

I see no problem with a naga bard. They have arms after all, and with the right instrument they could be...

... a rattlesnake. : D

@Raineh Daze

I'm still here. All sounds good to me.

Fantasy Dungeon Crawl: Take 3

• Name: He merely goes by 'Segi'. He doesn't tend to share his surname with the people around him, but not due to some misguided attempt to make him more mysterious - he merely dislikes his full name.
• Age: 28
• Gender: Male
• Race: Human
• Class: Inquisitor
• Appearance: An imposing figure.
• Personality: Segi is the image of composure and discipline. He remains in control of his emotions at almost all times, rare to show a hint of anger, fear, happiness, etcetera unless he means to, often putting up a serious and somber person. He at least feigns friendliness to the people around him, although it's hard to hold a conversation with him unless they do all the talking, as he shares little about his thoughts and less about his history. His position necessitates that he takes note of the small details so little escapes his notice. He's adept at reading people and adept at detecting a lie, and very good at looking intimidating. He's incredibly focused and can complete any task he puts his mind to with little distraction. He's very smart and knows much about many topics, a natural investigator and questioner. He remains at all times calm, cool, and collected. The moments where he drops his guard are rare, although if he does it means one has earned his respect and trust. Although one should be warned that his trust does not come easily, as his past and his training have taught him to always be weary of a knife in the back. Segi is naturally a pious individual and seeks to root out all evil before him.
• Brief Backstory: Segi was born to a family of little consequence, which held a legacy as little more then impoverished farmers. It was only due to great fortune that a passing Mayonite Paladin became indebted to his father. To pay back the favor owed the Paladin took Segi to the city, where he began training him as a Paladin. However it didn't take long for the shrewd Paladin to recognize that the boys talents were better suited for another. Instead he saw his value as an investigator and knowledge-seeker. The Paladin redirected Segi onto another path, that of the Inquisitor. Segi was a natural and picked up his lessons quickly, becoming a full fledged Inquisitor of the Church of Mayon in no time. He serves the church as a seeker of evil and heresy, delving into the forgotten parts of Velt to root them out. In the interest of safety and efficiency he has decided to go along with a group of fellow adventurers, although he tends to keep his companions at arm's length.
• Equipment: Segi's armor is light, preferring to not be weight down by heavy plate. Instead he wears simple leather tanned white, adorned with a long flowing white cloak which he wears over it. Besides his armor he wield a claymore, enchanted so he can wield it in one hand with ease. As for his other hand Segi isn't afraid to play dirty, holding a number of small daggers effective as an offhand or throwing weapon and bolas to surprise and trip up his opponent. He does not name his weapons, assigning little more significance to them than that of a tool.
• Abilities: Segi is an adept swordsmen, although he doesn't quite match up to the veterans in his company. He fights well enough, contrary to his roots as a Mayonite Paladin he adopts a style much more similar to the Reons- fast, quick, aggressive. What he lacks in skill he makes up with strength and speed, focusing on overpowering his opponent so he isn't caught up in a lengthy skirmish. Although Segi holds up well in combat his skills lie in his ability to analyze, observe, and apply his vast knowledge to situations. As an Inquisitor he is a very persuasive individual and is very good at being intimidating, amplified by the fact that he hold the clout of the Church.
