Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

My bad! I misunderstood.


No worries! I'll look forward to your opening, if you have sny questions please feel free to ask!
Pardon me, but am I just going to have to make an entrance post, or will this be discussed in PMs?


Oh, sorry, since we ended up talking about your situation and everything related to your start on the OOC, I didn't think there was any need for PMs. Was there more information you wanted or needed?
@Lugubrious one last thing, may I start with a small amount of coin?

Can you repeat the three options? Or are they on the last page?


You can start with a couple hundred max. The three options are definitely visible in my latest post/s, but to simplify, they are the school town Gutsford in the Dystopiascape (not far from the metropolis Midgar), the fading town Dirtmouth (above the yawning Chasm), and the icebound Edinburgh MagicaPolis.
Yeah, that's everything. Go ahead and put him in the Characters tab then.

You're in much the same boat as Squash, have you considered where of the three options you'd like to have Benedict start?
@Lugubrious Didn't have any Kindred Spirits in mind rn so left it N/A for now. But everything is done and finished for your review. Hope it's up to spec, :D


Overall the sheet looks quite good! I can certainly appreciate the variety that a supportive tactician brings to the table. The only thing I can say is that the weakness section contains things more suited for the personality section. Weaknesses are something that's an express detriment. So you could say something like Out of Service, which means that his reflexes and stamina have decreased since he retired from the battlefield after the Saltiron War. Or One Note, which indicates that because he's a physical fighter who fights with a sword, he's stuck as a short-range fighter with only his practical skills to spice things up instead of magic, acrobatics, or other such abilities.
@Lugubrious know what's also awesome, imgur links actually work for me now I'm on Ps4 and I can copy and paste. I'm super happy I won't be posting half-finished stuff anymore. Other than last night ofc, I stayed up late to get the personality and background to my liking, used the wiki and added a bit to what it said. I can't wait to play, I resonate with Benedict's character like I did with Glenn. Plus I wanted to play a less selfish character.


Sounds great!

Got it, I'll start in Dirtmouth having just wandered in. Perhaps fighting a bandit would attract enough attention that one of your characters sees me?


Sure, he could have come over the mountains or through the entrance canyon, perhaps from Brightvale. He could encounter a couple of thugs that wheedle him for some sort of entry tax. Barring that, you could always have him encounter and accidentally set off something like a Ruin Guard, which being made of metal would be so resistant to both cutting and weak crossbow bolts that Galeem's influence would lock him into a long and unpleasant fight, obliging one of the other PCs to give him a hand.

Which place has the most activity and would be the most likely place for The Adventurer to land?


The Dystopiascape has a lot of action but Gutsford in particular is pretty safe, so the team will need to roll out for things to get interesting. Meanwhile, Dirtmouth is in a rough-and-tumble area populated by miners and bandits, above a Chasm that leads deep into a vast subterranean land. Dirtmouth seems more likely. Keep in mind though, he'll have been in the area making a living for quite a while, or wandering for a while only to end up there. The World of Light didn't just start existing today.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

I guess I should start in MagicaPolis, huh?


That's just one of three options, the other two being Gutsford and Dirtmouth.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

He doesn't stop existing. I'm bad at wording. He just teleports VERY far away, as if Perinu could sense that he couldn't win. It's kind of up to you though.


Ah, alright. Maybe to the last place he rested, then.

I will message you tomorrow. In the mean time, please feel free to read the current page's posts, maybe farther if you feel like it, just to give you an idea where everyone is. As it happens, we just arrived at two fresh new locales, so it's a good time to join.

@Lugubrious Thank you for the info. I think I will be able to pump out my sheet before tomorrow. Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just excited. :D

(Didn't mean to pester, apologies if I annoyed you.)


No problem, and no rush. We both want a sheet for a character that will inspire you for a good long time. And don't worry about the questions, I'm here (and happy) to help. The only thing that annoys me is dashed hopes.
