MrSkimobile — Roleplayer Guild

OK everyone, I'm very happy with all the characters we have. I'm working on everyone's intros as we speak. Once done (probably wednesday tbh as tomorrow I have something important), I'll open up the roleplay thread + discord proper and festive-like, post the intro post, and let you all loose ;)

@Red Wizard welcome to the merry band XD

Brorin Foul

The Ogre seemed content enough after the ghostly girl used Brorin's lavender on her burnt hand, already happily chomping on a horse again. She may be stupid as a rock, but she had helped him up before, and that deserved a tit for tat, Brorin supposed. Besides, even the fools fit, in the end. Still, that cursed burn wound was worrying. He would have to pray for her. He made a note to cook up some holy water alongside his mutagens later. 

And as if the day couldn't have any more surprises in store, the day had some more surprises in store. Thuk, the slain Sulfreyan who had led the attack on them had been made un-dead and pledged fealty to the death-witch. Sulfrey had indeed been alerted of their trouble brewing. And then the mute ghostly girl started... talking? Brorin wasn't sure what to make of it. It seemed to come from afar, like a whispered echo from the depths of her throat, or from the depths of time for that matter - indeed, didn't Viktor just...?

Brorin shook his head. "These godless oddities are starting to add up in too quick succession for my likes. But the suggestion is agreeable. I too vote for the cache. If the next stop after that is going to be the very heart of Sulfrey we better go prepared. Ricon, if your cache happens to have any spirits, I'll gladly partake in them. My alchemy requires them, and I'd prefer some cleaner ones over whatever booze the Ogre's chest--"

Before he could finish his sentence, yet another surprise! "Bravo!" a strange voice clamored from the distance, a boastful spiel followed, and before anyone knew well and good what had just happened, a woman who called herself Sylvaine De Vermeille inserted herself into the merry band of Blackguards. The name rung with an arrogant theatricality Brorin was, regrettably, intimately familiar with. De Vermeille. Highborn blood, no doubt about it. Brorin tsked. They always did say their second and third children became either monks, or bandits. But the Maw? That was a low even Brorin didn't expect.

"Greetings, friend." Brorin dripped of irony. He better make it known exactly what he thought of her kind, and how far he would have her stay away. No, not this, not again. His story? "Experimented on my fellows, made a mockery of our creation, burnt down a King's Church and everyone in it, and all the King's horses and all the King's men, couldn't be put back together again. And for that, I accepted my punishment."Punishment? No, you are freed now, brother.

Leaning softly on his cane, he spread an arm in a mock bow. "Brorin Foul, at your service..."

@Red Wizard couldn't you hijack Thuk every now and then? 

@KazAlkemi@AwesomeZero5 Sent you a PM

@Theyra@Expendable Let's aim to finish up our CS'es in the coming week. 

Then we'll switch to the actual RP thread, and I'll start writing out your prologues. For this I'm going to make standalone scenes per character, so everyone gets a chance to showcase their character, and get their own little tutorial to the Fate system (this will mean the start will be a bit more roll-heavy than usual play, just so you know). In the scenes/chapters after that we can start 'crossing the streams' with other characters and watch the fireworks. >:)

@Theyra as I technically set the cap to 6, my conscience has to say yes despite the last post. so welcome aboard. I'm going to close admissions now for real.

@Expendable sure thing. and then we'll cap it at that for now.

@Eviledd1984 Looking good. Format looks nice. Accepted :)

@Red Wizard Aww too bad, but priorities are priorities. Take good care of yourself and your family! :)

@Eviledd1984 Looks good to me. It definitely fits the setting. If you see anything you like or need help translating it to the system, let me know. What problem do you have with your formatting?

@Izurich Looking good! We can definitely do some cool things with that (evilgrin). 
Two tips: 
1. your Relationship and Want aspect seem quite close. This is OK, but you get the most bang for your buck if all Aspects are somewhat distinct. So I'd collapse them both into one Want, and then you have one more Relationship Aspect to play with. Does Lenneth know anyone from her past? Does she want to?
2. I'm not sure how you intended the HALo Stunt to work, as you technically use Stunts either as bonuses with, or as actions (and they cost 1 Fate Point to use, remember!). Normally you will know all the enemies that are in play anyway too, so though the HALo system could still be used as flavoring in RP, the gameplay effect would be minimal if any. Maybe you could mechanize it more like "in the first round of conflict, I can create a situational aspect 'weak spot detected' with 2 free invokes", or something. 

Feel free to @ or PM me to brainstorm. (this counts for everyone)
