Okedokee gonna start forming a post now. And more people are always welcome. I get the feeling when it's boss time eventually all the groups will converge anyway.

I'm back!
Bio
Been rping for a long time now. Mostly been on and off but I'd say I started...oh...what was it, about 12 years ago? First rp was a Pokemon rp that went belly up fairly quick and then I met a group of people in a Legend of Zelda RP that I stayed in for many years, making a lot of good friends (and one or two enemies).
Really I like series themed RPs the most but I have done a few originals too. Both are fun. It's really just what you do with your characters and how well you get along.
I've been wanting to come back for awhile now, and here I am. Getting back in the game yo.

If you want to post you can @_Middle_, your call. Otherwise I'll try to get one up later today when I get to the hotel.
Just a warning in advance that I'm going to have to do some traveling in the new few days, so Friday and Saturday I may only be able to post at night.
However the good news is that I won't be working so late so much next week so I will be in a better position to post more.

A party leader huh? Well it wasn't something that Dar had expected to become so early but he was glad that he had someone to travel with now. Truth be told he was a bit more paranoid about combat and the world now. Before hand he hadn't paid dying a second thought, but even the slightest mistake could result in a grisly end.
Dar didn't have a ton of Col left over after purchasing his two hander from earlier, but he managed to scrounge up enough to buy a torch and a ration or two. He imagined that when he got to the next town he could take a quest or sell any materials that they might pick up on the way. They were bound to get in a fight or two.
With that, they were off. Dar and Geist moved towards their destination while taking care to follow the general path that the map had indicated for them. However just as Dar had expected, they wouldn't be getting there without a fight.
As the three dire wolves attacked them and Geist called out, Dar gritted his teeth and drew the sword from his back, taking it up in both hands as he waited for one of the wolves to come for him.
"Right..let's go!" He shouted. One of the wolves had gone after Geist while another had gone straight for him. Dar brought his sword up and across in a horizonal slash at the wolf, cutting it in mid air and knocking it back. It was wounded now, so he quickly went to follow up with another strike activating a skill.
<<Avalanche>>
Dar brought his sword down in an overhead swing that clobbered the dazed wolf into the ground and split it into pixels. There was a small indent in the ground where the blow had landed. Dar smiled at the result of his kill but had forgotten a key game mechanic in his excitement, the cooldown period. Furthermore, he had forgotten that there was another wolf on the prowl. While he was vunerable the other wolf went for the opportunity strike and latched into his shoulder, making a quick bite and then kicking off Dar to get some distance.
Dar cried out in pain but then subdued it to a grunt as he looked back at the wolf.
"Bastard, you'll pay for that!" He said as he readied his sword again. He had taken a good bit of damage from that blow, he had to be careful not to get flanked again. Fighting alongside Geist would help with that. Dar repositioned himself so he was near his teammate before he also noticed something a short distance away from them.
There was another person figthing some more wolves, probably ones that had been summoned by the others' howling. It looked like they could use some help too. There was no time to discuss it.
"Geist! Over there! C'mon!" Dar said as he started towards the other person. In the meantime, the wolf that had bit him earlier went for another strike. This time though, Dar was ready.
<<Parry>>
Dar brought up the broad part of his sword and deflected the wolf's blow, pushing it back and throwing it a short distance away. He did his best not to get too far from Geist but he needed to get to this other guy quick.
"Hey! You ok?" Dar yelled.

@LupusIntus@_Middle_
Dar blinked and shook his hands when Geist responded. He didn't seem offended but Dar still felt kinda bad for being so rude.
"Hey hey, I didn't mean anything by it, just kinda noticed is all. Everybody has a first time...uh that sounded weird." Dar mumbled that last part and scratched his head. He was making a great first impression on this stranger now.
It wasn't really that surprising to see someone new to MMOs here. When the VR technology was announced it reached a far larger audience then your typical video game crowd. And why wouldn't it? The idea of immersing yourself in a virtual world where you could be a powerful sword wielding hero? It was an amazing concept, one that would be hard to pass up regardless of who you were. There were probably people of all kinds in here.
The talk of going together snapped Dar back to his senses. This guy wanted to team up with him? Already? They had just met. And he had a group already. Well kind of. Truth be told he hadn't even met his group yet, and they might be suicidal as he already had established. Yet Geist wanted to group with him. And also go to the town that he had just said would be dangerous to get to.
"You wanna go to Horunka? Now? But it's gonna be dark soon and.." Dar started to say before he cut himself off. Dar brought up his party screen and viewed it for a moment. He didn't know these people but....he couldn't help them. He needed to help those around him. He had to be honest here. Not everyone in this game was going to get through it. The best he could do was to get stronger and protect those that he could.
"Yeah...I guess we could try to get there. We might want to look into something as a light source if we can't get there before nightfall though. I'm not sure what the nights are like here." Dar glanced at his party group again before leaving the group with the press of a button. He then sent Geist a party invite.
"You sure you want to group with me though? We only just met." Dar said. They might also want to find more help. He took a quick glance around to see if anyone else was nearby.

I'm home from work! I'll get you a post in a little bit @Lupusintus and @_middle_
Personally on the exp thing I think it might be nice to have a reference to how much enemies were giving but maybe not heavily enforced. I think leveling should come with the flow of the rp, rather than something that everyone has to keep up with continuously. So long as somebody isn't just miraculously leveling up while barely doing anything or progressing too quickly, I think it would be fine.
Just my two cents. Either system I could work with. :)

After tonight I think of a solution to my problem. I live in a college town so there is campus wide wi-fi. I'm gonna start bring my laptop on close deliveries. :P
Just woke up, working on a posty now should have Geist and Dar run into Lincoln.
@_Middle_@Grayscythe
I'm gonna be at work for a few more hours but I'll respond when I get home.@lupusintus
Hey @Grayscythe when I read over your post, Dar keeps mentioning "Gank". I'm not sure that's a term used in MMO's, but in MOBA's, do play those?
@LokiLeo789
Oh yeah it's a MMO term too. It just kind of refers to when you get ganged up on by NPC enemies or players while trying to do something else.
I don't play any MOBA's though.
