Interest Check - Fantasy with Knights, Adventurers, Magic, and Whatnot

I'll just go ahead and say I'm leaning towards a human alchemist, adventurer, con-man in training (but willing to take to legitimate guild work if he has to). It would be nice to get the sense of how ludicrous concoctions can be, but I'm willing to wait before sorting that out.

This seemed like the best place for me to say this, and I'm really sorry for the ridiculous and/or obvious thing and also if someone already pointed this out. Needless to say, I feel like a total dunce. But since I came to the site, being the stooge that I am, I always found it irksome when making character sheets whenever I'd use an image and it'd be ridiculously huge, impractically so. I'd resort to some really annoying lengths to find a way to shrink them down to size, at least when I compare them to what I just found out.

Turns out you could just pile on the indent commands until an image shrinks to the size you want. It all scales down. I'm really happy all things considered. Sorry for the stupid post out of nowhere. I think I'll excuse myself and ride this high for a little while.

@RC3 I might be interested as well. I'll have to see how my schedule holds up. I'm not sure what position or race to go with for now, so will probably get back to you on that.

Edit: Maybe a human alchemist, a maker of potions, if nothing else.

Why not do both, and have him be a BLCK operative working on secondment with the EDF? He could be a 'civilian' liaison from the EPA working with the military to help joint operations between the police's elite Unit BLCK and the EDF, with the ability to advise the EDF when to deploy their forces in areas where the EPA traditional hold juridiction.

Or the reverse, with him representing the EDF within Unit BLCK? Perhaps as a military training officer there to help prepare the elite unit for heavy actions? Or just the flipside of my previous suggestion, the military liaison co-ordinating joint operations in EPA territory?

Another possibility would be that he was Military Police/Internal Affairs (which could have been conceded to the EPA and Unit BLCK due to corporate restructuring), with the authority to press charges against any EDF personnel who he felt was acting against the best interested of EuroCorp Europa.

@Genni

Wow, those are some very intriguing options. I'll definitely consider these suggestions when I give get down to writing his backstory later on. Our character's exact position within these factions are pretty much up to us, something I wouldn't have given much thought to otherwise. Thanks.

The guild's problems have got me tearing my hair out over here. I would have liked to show off what I've done under phase 1 of my CS earlier. Next I have to consider the bio, which will be done around next week. I reckon I'll need all the time I can get.

I was considering freelance or security. But with a particular augmentation I have in mind for the future, I'm currently leaning towards either handling EuroCorp's dirty work, working for the EDF, or for BLCK.

I am fairly interested. I haven't actually used a service like discord myself, but I am willing to learn if it's necessary. Also I've only been in one RP I'd consider advanced and a large group (several people who made more than a dozen characters altogether). However, I can't say I enjoyed it, since I only "mained" a single character that turned out to be a tag-along while the real story progression revolved around the people belonging to the GM and their close friends. Even in a large RP without a strict story progression, I wonder if I should expect a different experience than writing by myself just to maintain some semblance of relevancy amid a book's worth of content.

That said, I have been interested in playing an android, if that will work out.

I'm wondering whether to make my post more open ended or not. It may help things along in the long run. I'll think about it.

From the Ruined World—Now Accepting!

Reve felt reinvigorated that morning, spurred on by the possibility of a new prospect. This was a far cry from a week ago, a rather uneventful string leaving him with little more than the gear he left with. Yet an inspiration to change his approach came with the latest issue of the "New Age Explorer's Weekly", featuring the third part of an ongoing series for the up and coming trailblazer. There were a lot of valid points in the article, this one in particular detailing the benefits of operating as part of a team. But what Reve was most interested in was the point about working with fellow explorers to seek out promising leads.

This piece of advise was what largely led to him earnestly spectating some arm wrestling matches, all the while holding his breakfast up as he stood. As it happened, Reve had come in contact with an explorer by the name of Charles, the young man apparently having in his possession a contract to what is possibly the last known location of an explorer who had garnered some renown within the past year. This particular guild affiliate was especially known for his good luck, as evident in a streak of lucrative finds shortly before the assignment that likely got him killed. Still, his loss could be anyone's gain, or at least anyone who dared take an assignment with such a daunting difficulty level. But as Reve would find, Charles was unwilling to let the contract go so easily, favoring instead to take on the quest with his own rather muscly partner under the belief that they were best able to meet the challenge.

Yet Reve refused to back down, outright demanding a wager wherein if his partner bested Charles' in a feat of strength, then Charles would relinquish the quest to him. So desperate was the young explorer to get his hands on the contract, that he neglected to mention the simple fact that he had no such partner. So as the sun rose and everyone came to the second floor to eat, Reve convinced some strong-looking nobodies to pose as his teammates and arm wrestle Charles' partner Randal. Unfortunately, two had already gone up against him, with no success.

Reve's eyes squinted sharply at Charles, who was likewise scarfing down his breakfast and standing next to the edge of a long table that looked to be able to accommodate a good twelve people with its equally long benches on either side. He was beside his champion, in the middle of toying with Reve's second pick. In some ways, onlookers to the event may have rightfully discerned that while the arm wrestling seemed friendly enough, it was starkly contrasted by the two lads with stakes in its outcome, even their furious eating coming off as a matter of serious competition.

With a fairly audible thud, the back of the second "teammate's" hand met the table, a moment distasteful enough to Reve to almost catch that last bit of scrambled egg in his throat. "Haha, best two out of three, eh!? But hey, we don't want anyone taking on a quest they can't handle, right?" Charles taunted, knowing he had his challenger backed into a corner. He already knew that Reve didn't have any actual teammates and was basically grabbing anyone he could find, but he was far too amused to care.

Reve wasn't one to let some teasing get to him, but was still not thrilled with the possibility of having to let an opportunity like this slip through his fingers. But that was something he was all but ready to do, when suddenly he heard Yuko's loud invitation from a good distance away, intriguing but the timing couldn't be worse for him. But then he looked to see a giant of a girl, who seemed intent to take Yuko up on her offer. It looked like quite a long shot surely, but one that he saw no harm in taking.

Walking up cordially to the towering explorer, Reve spoke up directly to Dhalma once there was a perceived opportunity to. "Excuse me miss... Um, down here. Hello. I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you," he'd start, finding up close that she was easily two feet taller than him. "You have every right to say no, but I could really use someone like you for a friendly competition of strength, something really quick and you'll be rid of me before you know it. How about it?" the bespectacled explorer pitched eagerly at her.
