Dark Souls - Journey to the Bleeding Throne

That would be interesting. Working on stuff within the next few hours.

[High-Casual]The X-Men Academy.

If the X-Men can take a newcomer, I'd take a leap. I thought she could be the driver/pilot, if the seat is not taken...

Dominique Chloe LaBlanche

"We boil at different degrees." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The Basics..."
Name:
Dominique Chloe LaBlanche

Mutant Alias:
Pocketwatch

Nickname:
White - A reference to her last name.
Domino - Shorter form of her first name.
Often enough, Dominique is annoyed by the way people try to say her name, if they do not get the point that her name is of French origin.

Age:
26

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Homosexual

Occupation:
Newcomer. Applied for logistics, mostly transporting food from town to the mansion. She has small combat training, as well as a pilot license.

"The Appearance..."
Description of Appearance:
Standing with a look towards the sky due to her 4'11" stature, Dominique wishes she could have gained some height in her childhood. Her overall fragile looking figure has not gained muscle, nor fat. In summer, by the time she is wearing skirts or shorts and no jacket, she looks malnourished, despite the fact that she is perfectly healthy. What the young woman cannot display in physical traits, she shows in her hair. She likes to change her hair color often (her current hair color is like in the pic). Sometimes she keeps it in a ponytail, other times she braids them.
Her hazel eyes are often accentuated by thick eyeliner makeup, which is also her main trait that remains.
Even with a large time spend in sunshine California to gain her pilot license, Dominique's skin is very pale.

Style:
There are band shirts swarming the closet of the young lady. To add to her already punk appearance, ripped jeans of various black and blue shades join in on the shirts. During summertime, she wears jeans skirts or summer dresses, though the later is more of a private matter. Jackets are her all-time favorite clothing. She likes to wear dark leather jackets with tribal stitchery. If she is outside, she keeps her feet covered in military boots or simple sneakers, depending on the occasion. Barefoot is her usual way, though.

"Delving A Little Deeper..."
Likes:
+ Alternative music
+ Traveling, especially in Europe
+ Jackets
+ Changing hair color
+ Having a "Tête-à-Tête" with people
+ Reading (her guilty pleasure)

Dislikes:
- Tall people
- Coffins
- Crates
- Overly attached girlfriends
- Flat tires
- Her nightmares

Mutation:
Creating pocket dimensions. The mutation of Dominique is to take every closeable object and enlarge the space inside. For instance, she can enlarge the space inside a pocket of a jacket and hide a gun in it, eventhough it could not fit inside physically. The more distinct the form of the 'pocket' is, the easier it is for her to expand the space within. The inside of the pocket can be enlarged endlessly, but it quickly drains Dominique's strength. Keeping such a space intact varies by the contents held within. The more Dominique packs in a pocket, the faster it drains her. Even more tiresome, the distance matters in the upkeep as well.

In the occasion of Dominique's powers tiring too fast, the objects within the pocket leap out of it at once, much like opening a can filled with spring snakes. Another problem is that the things that one wants to stash needs to fit through the opening. Last drawback is the weight of objects. Most objects loose half their weight inside a pocket dimension, if Dominique has not learned to stash those objects for a while.

In order to increase the volume of a pocket dimension, Dominique needs to touch the container. She also refuses to stash people inside a pocket dimension.

Strengths:
Dominique has been trained to navigate vehicles on ground and in air. She can find her way around places pretty quick. Calculating routes and detours is coming out of her on instinct. She also adapted her sight to it, spotting people and objects fast. This in return gave her a good sense of hiding things, especially how to place distracting containers or traps.

Weaknesses:
Due to her physique, the girl is easily intimidated. She cannot say no to people, unless she is pushed into a corner. She hates being in crowded places in general, up to the point that she becomes paranoid. Being in tight spaces is just as horrifying to her. She needs her space and she is very quick on her feet when she does not get it.

Personality:
Always fleet-footed, Dominique does not like to stay in place too long. Whether she is talking to people or simply enjoying some time off, she keeps walking. Standing still is for her tapping her feet on the ground, until she grows tired of it and decides to walk off. This affects her social behaviour a lot. She keeps chatting short at hand, or she invites people to join her in on a walk. Nevertheless, she tends to end conversations abruptly and sometimes ignores further approach towards her, as if she is spacing out.
If she cannot move too much, for instance in a party, she keeps herself entertained by trying to make her at least as tall as others. This often ends in her bumping into people, leaning against them on tiptoes or falling onto her bottom a lot, which can become rather awkward when she is in a new group.

"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
For a long time, Dominique enjoyed living in her small hometown in the middle of nowhere. She enjoyed the weather, the people, the endless expanse of countryside. It all came to a stop when she was teased by fellow schoolkids in early high school, who locked her in her locker for almost a whole day. This was also the first time her powers kicked in, making the space inside the locker larger and larger to reduce the claustrophobia the young girl experienced. As she got out of the locker, she was not cheery anymore, though never talked about it with others.

As she developed her powers, people got excited about her, more people with bad intentions than any other. They used her for smuggling, which in most cases ended with her falling unconscious due to the large amounts of objects she had to hide in suitcases or other baggage. This quickly got her into the reach of authority, quickly taking down the smugglers and arresting everyone, including Dominique.

The past two years, the woman took it slowly with her powers. She enjoyed stashing things away and keeping up the pocket dimensions as she pleased, while driving trucks for various parcel services. She also took the opportunity to take flight lessons, which resulted in a pilot license not too many weeks ago.

Just a little while ago, she received a job opportunity which promised her to give her a chance to expand her powers. Being tempted to learn more about her stashing abilities and being paid for the usual 'drive around' job, she accepted, though she did not know that she was employed into the infamous Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

Other:
Nothing in particular. Dominique keeps her current belongings stashed inside a large sports bag.

Welcome on board, my fellow companions. This seems like a wonderful time for some jolly cooperation.

I will post my character tomorrow and perhaps open IC then.

Dark Souls Style RP?

Nothing's too late.

Dark Souls Style RP?

I opened the OOC. It's over here

Dark Souls - Journey to the Bleeding Throne

Intro

In the Age of Ancients,
The world was unformed, shrouded by fog
A land of grey crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragons

But then there was Fire
And with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course.. Light and Dark.

Then, from the Dark, They came
And found the Souls of Lords within the flame.

Nito, the first of the dead
The Witch of Izalith, and her daughters of chaos
Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights
And the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten

With the Strength of Lords, they challenged the dragons.

Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales
The witches weaved great firestorms
Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease

And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the dragons were no more
Thus began the Age of Fire

But soon, the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain

Even now, there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights
And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign.

---

It is the farthest edge of the known world.
Some may call it the land of heretics.

Sorcerers of each land have traveled here to study and share the arcane knowledge.
What they found was nothing the world should have unveiled.
A throne made out of clearest glass, forged into the rocks of the mountain Qaszad.
The Bleeding Throne.

For the throne was of strongest magic, the righteous and self claimed King of the Valkyrie,
he himself was bleeding on this throne to nourish the lands and bring hope to the people.

But the Dark has not fallen.
It grasps for the powers that reside inside the throne and it's touch corrupts the men of battle.

Without the embers of a strong willed firekeeper, this land will soon crumble under it's own power...

---

Welcome fellow RPers. This is my own approach to a Dark Souls styled RP.

Since Dark Souls has a very interesting lore and a lot of interesting scenery to show, I was immediately thrilled to add my own ideas to this. Since the idea of the Firekeeper is a very unique setting for the game, I am focusing the story on a "soon-to-be" Firekeeper that a group of travelers will protect and escort to the Bleeding Throne, the central seat of the Valkyrie Kingdom.

On their way, they will meet very interesting people, hideous monsters that will try and rip their souls out and reach their goal to cleanse the land from the upcoming darkness.

Let me get the rules out really quick. I wish for all participants to have read them and understood the shared value of this experience.

1. If problems arise throughout the IC, please remain polite and address such problems in the OOC. Should people not come to terms, it will the GM (me) or Co-GMs to decide what will happen.
2. Joining this RP, you accept that you will not leave without telling the people in OOC and that you follow the unwritten(?) guidelines to Casual RPing, which are one paragraph at least, no double-post unless it is necessary and discussed, no "auto-hitting", no "God-modding" and a clean environment inside the OOC. Your character may use foul language as he pleases, but the OOC is to talk about problems and plan with others ahead.
3. Though your English cannot be the most perfect, please make sure that your sentences are understandable and cleanly written out. Some mistakes can occur, but leaving a cluster of words as a sentence is both poor and leaves others confused.
4. Sexual content should not be addressed inside a group RP. If it is necessary for you, then please PM-RP that person.
5. To bring a little flow to this RP, I wish to see some activity on this. Therefore, I'd like to see participation from each player and some posts. To address this, I want you to be able to post at least twice a week, or roughly every three days. If you are not able to do that, I'd like to see quality over quantity. If you are unable to post at least once a week, we need to talk...
6. Some rules might follow...

---

For those that are aware of the rules and would still like to participate, I would like to have a Character Sheet from you.

It should look like the following:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Preferred Weapon*:
Preferred Armor*:
Gift*:
Darksign?*: Yes or No

---

Preferred Weapon Tab:
There are multiple weapon classes to choose from. Each weapon has advantages and disadvantages that will play out during offensive maneuvers.
Fists - Despite having the smallest range of all weapons, fist weapons and claws have shown to provide interesting patterns for battling foes. Agility and strength affect the use of such a weapon greatly.
Hammer - Very slow weapon that ignores the physical resilience of the target.
Axe - Very slow weapon that ignores shields, may break shields.
Sword - The most common weapon. Able to swing with strength, but easily avoidable through shields and barely injures heavily armored men.
Katana - Unlike the sword, this blade is fast, precise and can cut through armor. Lacks overall strength, though.
Spear - Long range melee weapon, but easily blocked. Pierces armor, but swords and shield can easily toss the tip aside.
Bow - Easy ranged weapon. Used to fire fast, but deals less harm.
Greatbow - A ranged weapon that can pierce for armor, but takes a long time to aim and to shoot.
Crossbow - Shieldbreaker and precise weapon, but clearly lacks the speed.
Whip - A weapon made to throw a foe to the ground or disarm them. Impractical in dealing damage.
Staff - Mostly used to channel the powers of a mage.

---

Preferred Armor Tab:
Five classes of armor. The heavier the armor, the better it is in taking damage.
Cloth - No defense, best means to camouflage and move.
Light - Perfect for moving in a fight. Most weapons harm you a lot, though.
Medium - Blunt weapons do less damage. Simple dodges are still working, but rolling and dashing will take it's toll
Heavy - Armor made to last. It takes a lot of beating, but moving is not working that well.
Dragon - Heaviest armor known. Without proper training, dropping to the ground might be the end.

---

Gifts
Divine Blessing - Treats any injury, removes poison and curses and is a sign of faith.
Ring of Frost - This ring with a snowflake carving was given from hand to hand to help through a harsh winter.
Twin Humanity - Rare tiny black sprite found on corpses. A mysterious item.
Binoculars - Spotting item
Vial of Blighted Blood - This cursed liquid is what remains of your lost family. It emits a glitter when close to the servants of chaos.
A Daleflower - A rare herb with unknown effects. It scents bitter.
Necklace of Gloom - A trinket for travelers. Rumored to keep enraged spirits at bay.
The Jester - A card with no purpose...

---

The Darksign:
The curse of the undead that linger on the people. If the Darksign is branded in your soul, your body will rebirth at a bonfire, but it will slowly crumble to leave nothing but a hollowed figure.
Choosing the Darksign is starting the characters off as "Hollow". People will address them as Undead and remain cautious towards them. On certain occasions, the Hollow form can be removed to look human, but death will return the horrid figure.
Also, people with no Darksign are little more resilient in fighting.

---

Achievements:
The Gryphon - Slay? the beast at the borders of these lands

Dark Souls Style RP?

Dark Souls Style RP?

let's give this a bump, before i go to bed :)

Dark Souls Style RP?

Hello fellow Guilders.

So I have played/currently play Dark Souls and I like the lore of the game. The setting is extremely nice and the grim atmosphere of both the "dungeons" and the enemies is very drawing in.

Since I haven't finished the game actually (as of yet, I am stuck at Manus ((DLC)) and have to kill both the Four Kings and Seath), I am trying to add my own twists to it and make a non-cannon story somewhere FAR AWAY from Lordran, so no running around busting Ornstein's and Smough's butt, EASY MODO!

My thoughts on the story were a group of travellers (the group of players, or the player, if not enough apply) that escort a soon to be Firekeeper. On the way, they are disturbed by a group of bandits that wish nothing more than the valuables of the group and the soul of the Firekeeper.

Any interests? Ideas? Feel free to discuss things with me.

From the Abyss, I return!

Hey RPGuild.

Glad to see you in a new, shiny look. I really, REALLY missed you and can't wait to get back to RPing with this wonderful community.

As always, I am up for (Dark) Fantasy and/or Sci-Fi RPs with a little more mature content. PM me if interested ;)

Since this site is completely reworked and accounts were wiped, I am looking for comrades that I lost. Some might have changed their username, some not. I am still grateful for people that would help me find them, if they are back in the Guild. Thank you
