The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

Annnnnnd done!

The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

Okay, I'll edit in a fast travel to my 'Becca post soon. I'll also probably change the banner so it hurts my eyes less too.

The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

Still really tired from staying up too late last night, did manage to get a Rebecca post up to keep things moving, feel a bit guilty not giving everyone more stuff to work with but I'm too tired to think up anything.

I did throw out the whole location header thing and replace it with a little character banner. Bobert wanted to stop putting them in in favor of character headers and I would have followed if I wasn't running Serena and Veronica at the same time in the other group but now that I'm feeling more artsy and aesthetic I decided to put in some banners as headers instead. Don't feel pressured to make/use one yourself if you don't want/know how to. <3

Edit: Might dull the color on it a bit, though...

Rebecca was happy that this woman was actually paying attention to her instead of simply shoving her around, or that anyone was paying attention to her at all. She thought her response was somewhat odd, though. What did she mean about the mountain tribes? What did she mean about not having a twin? Why did she find her description flattering? What did she mean by “faults?” Who in the world was she that she could speak like that about them, while also acting like she had no idea who they were? She decided to prod more about it.

“Er, come again?” The researcher inquired, her tone indicating that she had heard very well what the other woman said as she erred on the side of nuance this time. She retrieved her notebook as she walked and began to double-check it, flipping from one page to the next as she cross-referenced various research notes, religious lore, and journal entries from the book’s previous owner. Whether she liked it or not she had an idea of what she might be implying, and she thought such a claim would be blasphemous and so absolutely absurd that it would incite amusement far more than aggression, but it was part of her very nature to follow up on such a thing regardless. She assured herself that she wouldn’t have gotten this far if she didn’t. She gave an odd glance to the others travelling with her. Were they hearing this, too?

She supposed it was something that would be better addressed once they got a chance to stop, however. She flipped the pages of the notebook to another section and pulled out her quill. She alternated between pausing to think and writing away, jotting down various notes and equations of physics and magical mechanics as she paid the faintest attention to walking with the rest of the group. She almost tripped a couple of times, but it was no matter. Several pages were filled in a jagged, somewhat legible scrawl until she began to figure out that she had to squint and frown at the page to see what she was doing. The sun was setting, she finally realized, and she needed food. Thankfully they had arrived at their destination.

Or rather, the next town over, but it was an excuse to rest all the same. Unlike Falke, the farming village had no walls, aside from the fenced-off sections of farmland that seemed to stretch out endlessly, filled with either varying crops or animals, the latter of which seemed to be falling asleep. Along the path were wooden buildings on either side, consisting of housing, inns for those passing through and the occasional shop selling whatever supplies one might need before they had to close down for the night, though it was nowhere near as extravagant as Falke's marketplace. Though the path forked a ways into the settlement, Rebecca could see that at its end, almost as if the town as built around it, was a stone mausoleum, sitting near a wooden building that appeared to be a Church of Aramice. It was a recurring trait in Loyalitat's various towns that never failed to unnerve Rebecca.

"So..." Rebecca asked as she glanced around the group. "Anyone know any good places to eat around here?"

World Warriors: The Nomadic Fist (Quirky Fighting Game Influenced Roleplay)

Okay, as long as we're still on this topic and I can actually remember it, here's something that bugs me from time to time: Could we get more clarification on the difference between a normal attack and a special? I know it says flashy and hard-hitting moves, but then when I'm making a character like Jill where just about every attack falls under that description, I spend a lot of time trying to decide whether something should be considered a special move or not. Then when I decide that a move should be a normal I get worried about whether it might be cheap to use in the actual game considering that it's not on the sheet.

That said, I wanted to ask everyone what their thoughts on the RP were thus far? Anything I could do better?

@Mr Allen J

Spell Inanna's name right

Idunno, I think things are really good here. Lots of room in the setting to throw in whatever crazy character ideas I come up with and still have room for a neat story. And if it's too crazy it's still fun to tweak around.

Okay, so I did get some things done, but I'm way too tired to finish a post. I thought I'd just play a little bit of Vanquish, but, uhh...

Yeah...

Rebecca post will be up tomorrow at the very least.

World Warriors: The Nomadic Fist (Quirky Fighting Game Influenced Roleplay)

A spectre is haunting Nomadic Fist — the spectre of scrublords. All the mods of the roleplay have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Allen and Savo, Red and Lec, fighting fans and animie fans. Where is the roleplayer in opposition that has not been decried as scrubby by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of scrubiness, against the more advanced roleplayers, as well as against its mod adversaries? Two things result from this fact:

I. Scrubs are already acknowledged by all Nomadic Fist roleplayers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that Scrublords should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Scublords with a manifesto of the scrubs themselves.

The history of all hitherto existing roleplays is the history of role struggles.

@rivaan I've wanted to check out The Witcher for a while now, but I want to see if I can knock a few games off of my bucket list first because that one looks looooong.

@bobert778Neat! I probably won't be able to get a post done tonight because I have to go to bed early tonight because work (and also Vanquish finally came out on PC but shhhhhhhh), but I should be able to get something up tomorrow night.

@Drag@Rivaan@Zhaliora

And we're back! While I get back into the swing of things, I decided to take a page from Drag's book and start some discussion.

Is there any particular piece of music you associate with a character? It was something I considered adding to the character sheet form, but I wasn't as sure about it at the time. I'll leave Serena's here.

Hider

I listen to the Kamui part of the soundtrack a lot when I'm writing her, but I think this one captures what I'm trying to go for: Serene with a bit of inner strife, but balanced out by a sense of determination that makes itself clear about halfway through the piece.
