The Faraway Land: Dragonbound (CLOSED, non-starter)

also if you want to have something else to do while we are waiting for the main plot to start. I remember you saying for my idea to work out I'd have to meet up with a fox goddess and set up a deal with them first. since that bit would really only apply to me, I think it's a side story we could work on now and then once the main plot gets started we can have some reason for me move over to that starting point and take it from there. if you wanted.

I saw the prologue part one. but never a part two. that was good writing.

given how my char's story gets started in this world I really can do anything until either we rp it out, or we are at a point I can say that would of happened and save the starting scene for a flashback.

I totally get how things can get busy so I'm not upset just curios when we are going to get things going?

Was my character ever accepted?

@themadhatter420

yea your char is accepted. I've just gotten stupidly busy myself and not sure what happened to the others

Your welcome to join in, the group is at the bar.

The Faraway Land: Dragonbound (CLOSED, non-starter)

it got quiet in here. just wondering what's up?

The Faraway Land: Dragonbound (CLOSED, non-starter)

ooh yes I'm also excited to get started.

The Faraway Land: Dragonbound (9 players interested as of 11/23/22)

okay I got my character posted in the main character area. I wasn't to sure what all to put in for strengths. So I started with what I think she'll get from the artificer class/ dragon blood contract. and when we have her contract with the fox goddess I can add in her new Kitsune ability's then.

The Faraway Land: Dragonbound (CLOSED, non-starter)

okay here's the first draft, hope it's not to bad.

Asuka Aki

Identity:
Name: originally Dave Jones, But now uses Asuka Aki

Demographics: Your homonculus bodies are grown from the idealized versions of your self-image
His idealized version of himself was quite different from how he actually looked, so while it was a surprise. does anyone expect to wake up in a new world looking nothing like they used to? But She's quite happy with her new look.
She's a 25 year old Japanese Lady, with the thinner eyes, and long back hair, at 4' 10" she is a bit shorter then average. her tastes in clothes run to the cute side, weather it's work clothes with a cute theme or or a fancy dress she's always trying to dress up nice, also gets a miko after her meeting with the fox goddess and will also wear that on occasion too.
While she will make a fair amount of effort to try to find clothes she thinks are cute she's still going to keep the outfits practical for what she's going to be using them for.
Story:
They where in modern day Japan just before getting spirited away here, but they where only visiting from the USA. Very much the geek type and had a lot of technology biased hobbies, also is a bit of a history buff, and loves to learn new skills especially ones that have you doing something. Is not the most outgoing of people, but has strong convictions and will be very firm on things they think important. Also they do try to make an effort to meet new people when they can and once they are more comfortable around you will be a lot more talkative. does know about the Isekai troupe and so realizes that they somehow are now in that troupe, and that means they realize there is some grand adventure they must complete before they can get back to their world, and likely no one here will know of anything from there world. so their goal is now to find out what they can about the world they are now a part of and to find the start of the grand quest that they must complete to get to their real end goal.
Strengths: They are an artificer, able to learn how not only to use but to build all sorts of contraptions even the ancient relics. Is also able to draw in power and direct it into her devices. so while she may not be able to attack directly, she can fuel something like a rail gun or a flamethrower and use that to attack her foes, or move things around with out having to find and carry fuel as well as ammo. Also has the the gift to interpret codes so She'd also be able to read any written text not in a magical cipher, her ability to write in the language depends on how much of it she's read, this ability doesn't extend to spoken language though.
Preferred Patron:
Regret, and the Fox Goddess she meets before learning about Regret. see's Yddrog as the main antagonist to all her goals.
Stake:
There are many, to name a few: a close knit group of friends, the ability to express herself as she wants, the ability to work on bigger ever more elaborate technological projects. To be able to travel and experience new cultures and new lore, the more different and complex the more she finds them fascinating.
So She's here for the Journey, the friends she makes along the way, and the all the gadgets and skills she can pick up and play with.

@kitramos I think we can do a kitsune. The way this can work is, your character would initially be human, and you'd contract with a fox goddess who can possess you to grant you her powers. If you want to be a natural kitsune, there's two methods available: 1) The foxlike features are mainly cosmetic. You have up to nine tails (depending on the character's age; 1 new tail per 100 years) and two fox ears, with none of the other arcane powers their kind are known for. Lifespan is approximately the same as normal humans, at around 70-120 years. 2) You ascend to demigodhood and become a kitsune, complete with all their usual powers. This may only be achieved with a sufficiently powerful desire and sacrifice during gameplay.

@Thinslayer

I like Options 1 and 3 best. perhaps I start off using option 1 contracting with fox goddess and after I get more settled into this world and my role in it I start down the road of option 3? as that way we can take this char who doesn't know anything about this world give them the ability and reason to start getting invested in the world itself and the people in it, instead of just how they can find a way home. And then once that builds up to a strong enough level they can stat down the path of ascension.

Now, regarding the matter of game systems, it seems like everyone is relatively neutral about it, with a few expressing preferences for numerical resolution systems. So how about this: We'll try out a few battles using narrative vs numerical systems and decide which one we like better after seeing them for ourselves?

@Thinslayer

that works for me.
I do agree if there's an important narrative point then that overrides the numerical systems. but in cases where it's not critical things work out a certain way then the numerical things can add a bit of randomness to keep the pot stirred.
like if it's important we get into a locked room then the system isn't used to determine if we get in, but rather if we get in strait away or if it takes a few tries to pick or force the lock. is how I look at it anyway.

We start soon, tomorrow I'm thinking,

@Thinslayer

cool, well here's hopping nothing crazy comes up. but I get it real life comes first.
when you go get the other sections ready could you post a link to them here? thank you.

@kitramos Now that I finally have a week off to myself, I can focus a bit more. What character ideas are on the table? I can offer some suggestions with a few prompts to work from, if need be.

@Thinslayer

I like the isekai'ed idea, but they weren't a total loaner to begin with so they would like to get back to their home world. They do realize they are going to have to go on this grand adventure before getting back as they will realize what happened, and figure that siding with Regret they are more likely to get to a happy ending, they are also mad at the dragon for trapping them here so that's another reason to side against them. I was also thinking they get gender swapped in their new form, and that is one thing they are rather happy about even if it means having to get used to all the differences but they got plenty of other differences to get used to what's a few more. but if that's going to cause a problem I can omit that last part.

i was also considering making them kitsune as well originally but rereading over what you got seems to imply that all the player characters are going to be more of a human with powers. so if that's what you want I'm fine with that.

As for Class/powers I was thinking either an Artificer type that also plays with with the fact they where quite interested in and worked a lot with tech in their world before getting pulled to this one. so their love of tech continues just adapted for magical tech now. and their powers relate to that theme; or Perhaps a Druid type if the first isn't available.
