Overlord : Advent of the Gods

I'm kind of taking an approach similar to that of what I recall of Momonga's reaction when the system of the world effectively forced him into character with tidbits of confusion and surprise. I don't think straight up "OMG" feels appropriate for my character.

"Well that is quite impressive," The Watcher commented with an impressed expression on his face. "It's nice to see you have such strong feelings towards your companion. I have never had one myself as the Watcher operates alone or with a team of heroes. Although, their companions are acceptable."

It felt nice to have a bit of roleplay down before the shut down. Getting into character felt good.

Vander's attention turned to HideYourMen as the player called to attention the end of the world. He rose from his seat and saluted the clock as it reached midnight. Then something strange happened. The time changed to 6:47. He had to blink a few times just to make sure he was not seeing things.

"Am I seeing things?" Warrick murmured while scratching his head.

When his hand passed over his face he noticed his skin was slightly dirty and tanner. His arm was covered in the hardened leather of the Watcher's armor. He felt the weight of a bow holstered over his back and a quiver of arrows at his side. He picked out one of the arrows and threaded it through his fingers with an expression of puzzlement and confusion.

He placed the arrow back in the quiver and scanned the room cautiously to observe the reactions of everyone around him. "Huh."

The Watcher chuckled at the thought of turning enemies on themselves. It appealed to his tactical sense. He certainly appreciated what Illusionists could do to change the tides of a battle especially chaotic large scale battles. Only the most organized of guilds could handle an Illusionist's spells without too much trouble. Even then they were annoying to deal with. He had the pleasure of working with a few on occasion and the trouble of handling a few. The Watcher's Longbow allowed for him to figure out the right target with some level of attention.

"I imagine they were really happy," he responded with a smile. "I went hunting for PKers a while back. I found a small camp of four of them and stalked them for a good day just to learn their behaviors and patrol patterns. They felt safe enough in their forest camp, but they weren't expecting me. Picked off the first two while they were alone before the other two realized what was going on. They walked right past my hiding place without seeing me. Sniped the third one and then used Whisper on the last one: a necromancer." He produced the custom-crafted dagger and showed it off. "Just felt right even though I'm not really made for melee."

He found himself sizing everyone in the room up, even the NPCs. Even if they were not always as powerful as a player, NPC followers - especially well built followers - were an intimidating force. He remembered watching a solo player using followers cleverly in high end PvE content. He wondered just how well this group would work in an arena or battleground. He shook those thoughts out of his mind. The game was over. None of that mattered anymore.

"Damnit!" He slapped his hand down on the table before him. "Old game or no, I don't want to leave YGGDRASIL."

He grit his teeth and clenched his fist slowly before taking a deep breath and recollecting himself. "I'm good now."

Ah, well thanks for the information. Good luck with your ventures. @Project

@Project How are things coming?

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

Apocalypse Now. Vander never would have imagined joining a guild like this. He never really imagined YGGDRASIL being shut down. He enjoyed being a member of the Roleplaying PvP guild The Last Rites. He had been a sub-leader in the guild being a master of tactics. They disbanded against The Watcher's wishes after the server shut down was announced. PvP queue became impossibly long making his desire to mindlessly fight in the arena until the shutdown happened just a dream.

Now he sat and observed his new guild mates chat as the clock ticked down to zero. Fifteen minutes felt agonizing. He recognized several players as fellow PvPers and Roleplayers. He smiled and nodded silently at each one of them.

"Anyone have any good arena battles before the queue times made it impossible to participate?" He asked the crowd in general. There was a lot of chatter going on around him, so he did not expect a response. Even so, he was genuinely curious. "I missed my chance earlier."

A bittersweet feeling had begun to well up inside of Vander as he remembered the friends he made and the challenges he overcame since YGGDRASIL launched. He took a drink from the mug he had before him. "I hope to play with you all in another world someday." He had no idea which game he would move onto after this one. YGGDRASIL had been exclusively the game he played all these years and now it was not going to be an option anymore. The thought of the change scared him.

He truly wished he could stay here forever as Vander The Watcher instead of Warrick Thane.

The Avatar
Name: Vander "The Watcher"
Appearance

Race: Elf
Gender: Male
Character Level: 100
Alignment: 0
Job Class: Ranger 15 | Scout 15 | The Watcher 5 | Sniper 10 | Trapper 15 | Tracker 15 | Battlefield Tactician 10 | Bounty Hunter 15

Fighting Style: Long Range Nuking and Tactics

Strengths: Being a long range fighter puts the Watcher in an excellent position to observe enemy movements and grants the opportunity to change his party's tactics as needed. His skill with a bow is very high meaning he can hit all but the most agile of opponents. As a scout his base movement speed is increased above that of most others. He is also incredible with tracking and hunting with some powerful camouflage abilities for specific terrain.

Weaknesses: Focusing in long range combat makes the Watcher a formidable force until he enters into melee. While he is capable of fighting in melee with his dagger, Whisper, the combination of a lack of reach and melee power he is only strong as far as normal standards for this new world. While he can move faster than most opponents can run he has no ability to dash instantly making dodging a challenge if he is not expecting it.

Equipment/Abilities Worthy of Note

The Watcher's Longbow: This longbow was earned from the epic story questline, "The Watcher's Final Days" resulting in the unique title "the Watcher" being earned along-side the longbow as a weapon. This quest was known to be one of the hardest to complete in Yggdrasil's hayday, and Vander rose to the challenge simply to test himself. The bow has excellent stats, however they are not the most powerful in the game. The bow has a powerful unique effect especially for a tracker: for an entire day so long as an arrow has been fired from this bow the Watcher knows which direction the arrow is at all times. Distance still needs to be calculated through basic trigonometry or just walking towards the arrow.

The Replicating Quiver: Once a day this quiver fills itself with 24 arrows so long as there is one inside. These arrows have the same effect as the original not counting ointments such as poison.

Whisper: This curved dagger is a crafted reward from a player-run guild vs guild tournament run by the server's biggest merchant and crafting guild. They ended up barely winning in a knock-out drag-out battle. The blade was best suited for assassins, however with the Watcher's active camouflage ability and lacking a decent melee weapon at the time he ended up with the blade.

Active Camouflage: While in natural terrain when using his active camouflage ability, the Watcher is nearly invisible to the untrained eye while not moving. Movement causes a slight distortion as it adapts to the new surroundings. It does work in more urban environments, however it only works when he is not moving at all and it takes longer to activate.

The Watcher's Eye: Earning the Watcher title also granted Vander the unique ability known as "the Watcher's Eye". This is a passive ability that highlights the best trails to traverse that a even a trained eye would have some difficulty seeing. He can also see the trails of all creatures that traversed a natural environment and even detect how old the trails are. While it does not directly let him see invisible opponents he can without too much trouble track their movements as long as they cannot hide their movements at a high level.

How a normal human would view me: He appears to normal humans as a very focused and calculating elf. He also has a constantly combat ready stance giving a slightly paranoid feel about him.
