How brief is the backstory you looking for, J? I was thinking of bullet-pointing for brevity.

Pariah Online: Prologue [ closed ]

Er... Eh... well you know...

She's still in the works :3 She'll be up tomorrow though. Promise!

@NarcissisticPotato

It’s tomorrow, btw.

Well there goes my afternoon. Review city, eh?

Pariah Online: Prologue [ closed ]

I honestly didn't expect to have to come up with five lol. That was more than I anticipated.

@TheMinorFall

Haha, same here and I wrote the quantifier. Imagine how I felt working on my own CS? I thought I was so damn stupid but I had already made my bed so I was going to sleep in it— wasn’t going to tell people that they had 4/4 or 3/3 instead.

I honestly can't think of a fifth mental benchmark that he would have learned. Halp?

@TheMinorFall

I feel like “domain affinities” would be more mental traits (or at least that is what I told others, so consistency!). I guess that means I need to help you with a physical benchmark, huh? Since your character is a healer-oriented individual perhaps his experience in medicine and combat has led to a stronger fortitude/constitution?

I should’ve just made it 5 benchmarks instead of 5 physical and mental, huh?

Also thanks for the compliments!

@TheMinorFall

No problem— I’m generally very cooperative and kind despite popular belief!

Also your hiders are too spaced. Hit the backspace between physical and mental hiders plox. :F

Added a rudimentary addendum to the OP where I plan on going into detail about magic.

The Byzantines were also elitists!

ANOTHER FUCKKEN FANTASY NRP

I wonder what kind of fantasy elements we'd have here but I am sorta interested.
You and your mashup armies, I probably model my nation after Hungary. It's already a big mashup of culzures without me messing with that.

@Willy Vereb

Them crazy Maygars creating Hungary and shit.

@Gowi Sounds like Tyhrien, then. Would a serious gamer with a desire to escape the world for a bit and be someone other than herself -- just for enjoyment and relaxation -- turn out as something drastically different from her real appearance?

@shylarah

Depends what you mean and have in mind.

Pariah Online: Prologue [ closed ]

Torn between Drox and Tyhrien. Emma falls somewhere between the two, because while she does like playing hero, she's not necessarily honorable at all times. And while she's a protector/defender, she likes doing great deeds as well. Advice, anyone?

@shylarah

I would have to know the character more in-depth to give proper advice, but let me try to expand on pathos fraternities. These are large factions that have people who interpret their core principles in their own way. Not every member of Tyhrien is going to be a valiant knight— they might be a hiresword who values honor or a code of ethics, they might be a craftsman who doesn’t try to grift someone out of their gold because they value their word, and so on. Tyhrien means honor so people are willing to live by that pathos however they see fit.

@Gowi Wait, so avatar creation is automatic, without the ability to customize basic traits at all? And is everyone human? there's no species stuff, and choosing an appearance/gender? ...Then how did that one gal get kitty ears?

@shylarah

I had a friend ask me if he could be an anthropomorphic turtle and given the framework of how I envisioned Pariah I had to say no, so I wanted to be consistent with that. I already explained how the “cat ears” can be explained away by psychological desires and so forth since a lot of this RP’s background is pseudo-philosophy and pseudo-science. The idea is individuals will be generally human but Pariah’s framing as a hypostasis sort of analyzes people and interprets it differently. Hanako does not see herself impaired and someone who is impaired differently might not imagine themselves as such due to psychological longing or identification— identification could possibly even divert gender but nobody has tried that.

@Lord Wraith

I am sort of tied to GG's Batman with my characterization of Jason Todd. So once his CS is up, you might have my last application for a long time. 'tis not overextension, I give you my word.
