Hmm. I don't seem to be the kind of player the GM is looking for.

Have fun, guys.


I wouldn't say that at all, Emeth. There are no need for such words, I was just politely telling you that in the lore, surface dwellers do not have the information, skills, or means to be advanced with technology like the Atlas civilization. The character idea you came up with is completely fine. The backstory/recent events would not be able to correlate with each other.
The Atlas Gazette and 9.25 Station

“Today rumors have been spread around that there were ‘people’ outside of the Atli!” A charming yet almost too perfect looking man began to laugh at the inquiry of the day, “Isn’t that silly, Miss Juniper?”

“Oh, Mr.Scott! I cannot believe some of these people’s words. Read this-” she began while pointing to a spot on the page. If you were watching the small 4 inch by 6 inch television screens in your home or in the public. The curled blond with a little too much makeup on began to eagerly point at the article they were reading.

“Hear this everyone-” clearing his throat, Mr.Scott began to read, “Today three Atli born individuals decided to report to authorities that they saw people outside of the Atli, diving into the water chasing fish. Can you believe that!! FISH!?! People!? Do you think they saw Fish-people, Miss Juniper?” The two news reporters were having a blast with this scene of the day. They were bursting out in laughter and trying to control themselves on television.

“It’s funny, Mr.Scott. Nothing has lived outside of the Alti for centuries! Maybe there are fish people, but they are probably slimy. Eww!-” Waving her hands up while giggling, “-we wouldn’t want to invite those kinds of people in here. They would infect the place!” She gasped while looking directly at the camera and covering her mouth.

Mr.Scott turned right to the camera and the whole time he spoke, Miss Juniper stayed in her fazed position, looking directly into the lens, he said, “Don’t go wandering out and trying to invite the monsters in, kids! The world was radiation bound years ago and if you see something, report it to your authorities. We don’t need radiation monsters giving all our children and future survivors radiation sickness. Mothers, fathers, friends, and family keep each other safe from the radiation outside of the Atli!” While raising his voice the T.V.’s all glitched out and started upon the eerie scene.

That’s all for right now! Thank you for watching ladies and gents!!!” Both Miss. Juniper and Mr.Scott said with the same monotone voice while the scene went black and instantly put on a cartoon.

People began whispering about the news and afraid of the radiation started giving the individuals who spotted these so called ‘monsters’ a hard time. They were telling them they better stop trying to look for things to let in to the Atli! The problem is that there is a decent sized group called the UnAtlas Individuals [U.A.I] for short. The government has been making a list, checking it twice, and everyone on that list is disappearing like they never existed.

The Atlas society and surface dwellers can begin their journey's!

Yo, I've been following/lurking in this and based on the third sample picture in the OP I am having a hard time deciding if this would qualify as what you'd consider "anime" or not. So before I spend hours fleshing out the character concept I'd like an opinion on that. But the no-time-to-explain, elevator pitch version is that she's a cyborg that used to serve as a bodyguard for public figures, but was captured and de-programmed, effectively rescued by activists. She has a "handful" of hidden weapons.



If she doesn't fit the setting, I'll probably do a surface dweller instead.


<Snipped quote by Emeth>

Yes I do believe this qualifies as anime. I think Odd would prefer more drawn out facial features so we actually know what the face looks like. That being said, I could totally see the bodyguard for officials being a thing however maybe instead of body integral weapons youre just programed to be good at using weapons? also... instead of being rescued by resistance or whatever that case may be. Maybe you just gained consciousness and decided to leave? (Because you knew as well as them, they couldnt stop you) yknow?


For what Tsukai is saying, yes, your image qualifies as anime. The third image on the 'Good Reference' for characters is not cartoon, anime, or a similar style.
Example: My character Nyai-Baatwe fits into the third category.

Comic book, anime, cartoon, or similar would not fit into the third reference.

A character that is an advanced A.I., robotics, etc... is completely fine. Though, you would not be able to have the backstory of being rescued and reprogrammed by the surface dwellers. Surface dwellers would not have that advanced of programming skills if they even had any at all.
You might find someone that has computer skills on the surface but you will find them to be similar to a government computers technician level of intelligence when they were in the 1960s-1980s. Maybe if you are lucky somebody that knows how to do early 2000s level of programming or understanding computers, but we would consider that a long shot.
Though on that list of people that could possibly have computer skills, programming, or anything of the like. They probably wouldn't know how to hack through extremely advanced codes without completely destroying it.

The drawing on the left would not be acceptable even though it is the same person on the right.

You're completely fine! That's the reason the staff team is here to help!
@OddApproved
Is Pops ready to move to character section?


Fix 'survuvalist' to survivalist in the occupations, please. Then you should be fine!




"Born and raised in such a place that enforces separation is disgusting." - Nyai'Baatwe upon leaving the Caverns of Kilfi.


Nyai’Baatwe from the Caverns of Kilfi

Nyai is what many have called the girl while growing up in the Caverns of Kilfi. A peaceful place to many was a place of conflict for the young girl. The masters always were afraid of her anger and frustration. If they spent more time with her and understood she was having a difficult time controlling her powers; they would have been able to stop her from leaving.
At the age of sixteen, Nyai decided she did not belong in such a place and left without a word. Her parents were devastated the next morning, but she felt like they would be better off without a daughter that barely could make a spark while they were teachers in such a magical place.

Upon leaving, Nyai'Baatwe adventured to Oceania where she helped make parts for the giant sailing and fishing boats for the oceans. Months went by and she was a hard worker, everyone enjoyed her time, but she decided to travel the world some more. Going from Oceania to the city of Ortish...it was a mistake...

Large crowds for such a size, she was being shoved, and tugged till she tripped over in the mud. Feeling the pressure of a foot stepping on her hand, "Ah!" she cried out while grabbing her hand away from the person who wasn't watching where they were going. Everyone was completely different from Oceanie, rude, and didn't care at all.

"Hey you need to watch where you are going!-" she began while standing herself up "-don't you know it's rude to step on people!" Nyai called the individual out and terror ran across her face when they turned around. It was a large man with many tattoos and scars. He seemed like the type she should have not called out and she slowly stepped away while he got closer.
The man sniffed her before grabbing her shirt collar and lifting her up quickly in one swipe, "You shouldn't fall down and let people step on you, now should you?" He asked while she grabbed at his wrist for support. She couldn't even wrap her hands around the size of his bones let alone the muscle he had around his limbs.

"I...uhm...-" stuttering was the only thing she could do before he dropped her on her ass, "-ow!" She whined out while watching him walk away.



Rough estimate of height, weight, and age: 5'6", 125 lbs, and 25-30.

Occupation : Pirate Captain of the Andorsa[4 years sailing as one]

Quick Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, long range weapons [spears, bows, crossbows, throwing knives], intermediate to advance survival skills, and navigating.

Advanced Skills: Advanced survival skills, shipwright, magic, and bargaining.


Backstory:

Nyai-Baatwe was born and raised to parents who were teachers in the Caverns of Kilfi. This meant she was directly going to have abilities and maybe more advanced than her bloodline. While being raised, she was taught from a young age what magic blessed individuals needed to do and how they needed to do it.
Many, many attempts of her trying her best, everyone watched while the young child couldn't help curse herself and her abilities. She barely could make mist appear from her finger tips or help a plant not wilt while the other children accelerated. Being competitive caused impatience in the young girl and allowed her to fall behind more. After years of training, Nyai was still in what they called 'the yearlings' this meant you have been in physical training for less than five years; sadly she has been practicing since the age of three. Meaning that the young girl was six years too old for the rank she was placed in.

Completely devastated, Nyai decided to run away from home at the age of sixteen. She did this without a word and no one has heard from her since. Masters and others who have traveled out of the caverns have noticed her on ships, but they are not socialized with her anymore, only a faded image.

This led to the young girl working as a shipwright in Oceanie for months. Learning the trades of how to create and fix wooden boats from the knowledge the civilization had. Learning the different ways of the marsh-based society, she wanted to travel more, and she set off to the City of Ortish.
Upon entering such a city, she had regretted ever adventuring here, but she learned a lot from the people. What brought her to Ortish was the money and work opportunity. The guy she worked for in Oceania wrote a letter to his cousin who held a boating shop in Ortish. Soon enough she was working with the most sarcastic, bloodthirsty, and sleaziest people you could ever meet.
All these people and experiences shaped the young girl to the woman she is today; she is known as the Captain of the Andorsa, one of the most ruthless pirate yet most respectful pirate crew you will ever meet.
Update about the roleplay to everyone!

I have noticed that a lot of people are conflicted about characters and ideas. I will make this easier on all of you; everyone is allowed to have two characters. Hopefully this helps you in your adventure on the world!

Thank you!


Pops is looking like the foundation for a very unique and wise character.
I’ll probably wait and see where everyone else’s characters are starting from and starting with before choosing, but just in case I wanted to run a couple of concepts by everyone to see who would fit better for the plot and as a first character. One’s a sort of depressed nihilistic miner in his 40s with barely any skills other than those associated with his job, the other’s an outgoing possibly troublemaking vagabond in his 20s who’s really good with spears and staffs but probably lacks magic.


I like both of those ideas. I think either one would work when it comes to the plots.
@Tsukai Welcome to the staff team! We all (staff and not staff) appreciate your interest in wanting to be apart of the staff and hopefully you enjoy your time in the position!!!
