<Snipped quote by Hillan>

Would your Roy have been a former TT/YJ member?

@Retired

Yeah, I'm banking on that. Shared tenure with both Dick and Jason if possible on whatever team.

DC Comics Roleplay: Fall of Justice

I on the other hand just compleley missed there was a thread.
Red Arrow sheet coming up. I'm gonna need to talk to @PatientBean about joint custody of Mister Queen.

There sure are a lot of legacies running around here so I figure it's apt to bring out my favorite Roy Harper quote:

Age of Marvels - A Marvel Comics Roleplay [CLOSED]

Gonna finish my sample tomorrow, provided nobody else has beat me to the punch on a Thor app.

<Snipped quote by Hillan>

Oh shit! We're getting Balder! MCU has had so many forget...

@Hound55

Hell yeah we are! I considered making him the PoV and use Thor in a similar way I'm gonna use the ol' Baldieboy but I figured everyone (myself included) are more familiar with Thor.

Age of Marvels - A Marvel Comics Roleplay [CLOSED]

Added a brief section to my sheet to clarify the timeline around Wolverine’s career.

@Supermaxx

That should sum it up.

<Snipped quote by AndyC>

Anyone intending to explore the cosmos will have said information and the freedom to do with it as they wish.

@Retired

Yeah, Thor could definately wind up wandering space before he figures out how to make it back to Asgard so count me in.

^{"Gods are cruel, cruelty has never been my wish."}

Ragnarok’s come and gone, or at least that’s what some would say. After a lengthy conflict with the other realms, far away from Midgard, Asgard is in tatters. Odin is dead and the throne stands empty. Thor had left the battlefield centuries ago, settling for a quiet life on midgard after he put an end to the rampage of a mad mongol wielding magical weapons. For all intents and purposes, Thor had become one with humanity and when his father left, Thor was called to take the throne.

He declined. He was called weak and soft, an attempt to bring out the savage warrior his fellow Asgardians had known, a plot was made to cut him off from the parts that made him human. Tragedy struck his human family at the end of the last century, what they expected would be a divine fury turned out to be nothing more but the fading of a flame. Thor Odinson was no king. He could not even be a warrior. His spirit broken he has been placed in prison on a non disclosed world while his home is stuck in a bloody civil conflict with divine consequences.

I’m coming in hot with an idea that’s equal parts MCU-Thor as it is Kratos from the two most recent God Of War games. My goal is to paint a more honest picture of the Nordic gods, according to the norse mythos, than Marvel tends to. Thor isn’t just unworthy, he’s broken, chained like an animal. With time, his bleeding heart will mend, growing into a callous.

Thor is not an avenger and the only things humanity would know about him are the old norse myths, an unlucky few would have experienced the extraordinary lightning storm that put an end to the Khan-empire as they attempted to raid a small village on the edge of Finland in the medieval age.

My plans involve him finding his will to fight once more, gather the allies and the might needed to put an end to the fighting in Asgard and hopefully get revenge on the ones who betrayed him. As an aside, once he’s out of prison he’ll be quite available for side stories on his quest to become worthy.

ELDEN RING

We could even make it so that the inhabitants of the Lands Between haven't entirely lost their minds yet, potentially allowing us to communicate and reason with the knights and soldiers that serve the various demigod armies, or the peasants that live in the forts and villages throughout the world.

@Hank

Very solid idea to leave the other forces of non-tarnished damaged but not completely feral.

Now for a few other issues. Personally, I think there are several other game mechanics we should also ignore:

• No respawning, both for us Tarnished and for NPCs/enemies. Dead is dead.
• No Flasks of Crimson/Cerulean Tears from the get-go. Let healing be done with traditional remedies or restorative magic, and let FP/mana/whatever-you-want-to-call it simply regenerate over time. Healing potions or crystal tears with special effects could be found as loot throughout the world instead, and the ability to craft them (like the perfumers) could be part of a PC's skillset.
• No sites of lost grace, or at least not in the way that they function in the game. The guidance of grace being visible as rays of light makes sense and should stay, and perhaps this light converges at locations that would make for good resting spots, but that's as far as it should go. It doesn't have a useful place in a written narrative, in my opinion.

@Hank

Ditto.
I think Grace being a narrative piece that guides us (or perhaps leads us astray, given the chance that some of us would want to become Volcano Manor-scum) is great, but yeah, no instant-heal once we touch a golden light on the floor lol. It's already implied but I wanna explicitly state that I think the split worlds and time dilation are too convoluted concepts that need to go.

Then there are some game mechanics that I believe we should keep, but adapt to make them fit:

• The strength of runes, the ability to become more powerful by defeating enemies, should probably be a sort of passive effect that we use as a vague excuse for our characters growing in strength over the course of the story, if we don't ignore its existence entirely. I also don't think runes should be the active currency; Patches uses the word "coin" when describing wealth, so let money just be gold coins or something.
• The Roundtable Hold. I'm not very fond of including Melina in the story and her ability to teleport us to a version of the Roundtable Hold that exists outside of the world. I don't think fast travel in general is a good idea. Unfortunately, we don't know how other characters like Roderika or D are able to travel to it. Do we say that there are portals throughout the Lands Between that can take us there? Maybe it's a place we visit in our dreams? Or does the illusory Roundtable Hold just not exist yet, and we have to fend for ourselves in the Lands Between until we reach the Fortified Manor in Leyndell?
• Spirit Ashes could be reworked into an ability or a school of magic, like I suggested for alchemy earlier.

@Hank

I agree on runes being the most logical passive way for us to increase our abilities and grow over the course of the game. I don't think there's any need for a game-system to provide that gain. I don't mind either way if we use runes for both currency and experience or just the latter. Fast travel creates far more issues than it solves. Allowing us all different mounts that we need to care for makes more sense than all of us riding on torrent. Though, Melina poses another interesting issue; Maidens? Do we each need one? Do we all follow one like a gaggle of simps? Or do we just ignore the fact that a tarnished needs to act as consort to a maiden to have a chance to become elden lord?

To me, Roundtable Hold is a good idea for a collective of the main party of the game. A union of tarnished who need to fight together to survive in the lands between. Perhaps our role as elden-lord-to-be isn't so clear at this point of the story, allowing us all to make far easier alliances even with other tarnished who are still at their prime. I.E, the real Roundtable Hold is the friends we made along the way. Events of the RP eventually leads to the illusionary extra-dimensional place eventually being created.

I think in a still active society the role of the Tarnished might be more akin to that of a monster hunter or some kind of folk hero, so we might be able to inject more traditional party-based fantasy games into the setting if we care to go that route. A gameplay loop something akin to - Gather a bunch of tarnished, fuck up a monster, celebrate at the pub as town-after-town goes feral.
