The Plague (Slightly 18+)

Interested. I got a Battle Mage char I can transfer over nicely to this one.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

I feel that came out wrong lol. It wasn't a negative comment. I think it's good for the Mainstream of Players are as we will probably run into the one who shall not be named eventually. Also it helps our overall synergy, regardless on how improvised it may be.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

Spooky Sk3let0ns

Only Three of the Twenty Members of Brique Squadz showed up to the event. Most of them had migrated to the newest DMMO-RPG. Jack didn't really join up with them. He had a busy life now and could barley play YGGDRASIL when he wanted, so this was not only the end for his Avatar Spooky Sk3let0nz, but of his overall Gaming in general. Just staying up this late for the End might land him in the Dog House, let alone actually putting time into another Game. At least he wasn't alone for the End. The Undead Elder Liche Leaders of Brique, ManH4ndle and one of the oldest members, NoMoNOZ. They arrived with some of other Known Hardcore PVP Guilds. All of them just finishing their Final Duels to prove who was the best among them. Spooky came in at 6th.

It was different then most of their meetups with other. Usually it involved cracking Jokes about the Roleplayers or Shit talking the other PVP Guilds, and occasionally putting bets for duels. It was a lot more friendly. The three of them interacting quite kindly to all those who stood to the end. In Jack's eyes it was the right thing to do and it rubbed him the wrong way that more didn't appear, but it wasn't really a surprise. Some of the community had been long gone to other games that weren't ending and throwing all their years of hard work down the Drain. Or at least some could look at it that way. Jack viewed it as a final thanks for all the great times.

After about half an hour of interacting in what was left of the Community. The three moved out of the way of everyone else to say goodbye to their old buddy. Possibly for the last time.

"Its been good boys. Got to head off tho. I'll see you around Spooky or never again... Hahaha. Peace Boisss. Stay Salty! Be bit-". The last words said before ManH4ndle logged off. NomoNOZ came to Spooky and shook his skeleton hand before saying his goodbyes. "See yah around Spooky. When your done being whipped, come join us on UNITA. It won't be the same without our Scrub Carebear mascot! Stay Salty and be Bitter, Brother."

All Spooky could do was laugh and utter "Stay Salty and be Bitter...". Their Guild Motto. He waved them both off as their Log-off Bubbles replaced their Avatars for good. Spooky felt some sadness, but also felt a jolt of happiness for having the opportunity to make these Friends. With a sigh, Spooky headed back into the Guild Hall. Patiently waiting the countdown to strike 0.

Entomos; Kingdom of Insects [FULL FOR NOW]

@Stern Algorithm You actually hit everything on the head and found me out lol. Well, besides Kabu. That was just a name with no reference to the Armor, but I like that it was still relevant to the setting! And that Tanta is changed from Tanto.

The whole little shtick were that the new Caste are Samurai of the Insects. The Original post said their names are Chinese, not their culture. So, I got a few things from both Chinese and Japanese evolving the Samurai. It just happens to be, everything I found ever was Japanese... I decided "fuck it", his name is Chinese, but the inclusion of Japanese is obviously there. If it's a problem of course I'll go dig deeper and find the appropriate Chinese Titles and Names. But I assume everyone spoke Bug anyhow and Names were the only true difference in their each species language.

Entomos; Kingdom of Insects [FULL FOR NOW]

Xiao

Xiao

Character Summary

Name: Xiao Ke or Seieibushi-Xiao
Age: Middle Aged
Race: Mantis
Gender: Male
Class/Job: Warrior
Appearance:
Xiao is a fine example of the Warrior class of Mantis. Tall, strong, and quite fearsome looking. His age makes his skin a darker green, almost black. His front Raptoral Forelegs are not the biggest of his Race, but still frightening to other races. When standing straight up, there no other Insect race that can reach his size, but he usually leaning frontward disguising his actual size. He has two large Talon arms with two smaller arms under them and stands on four legs. He eyes are smaller than the other classes of other Mantis.

Belongings

• 'Kana' Raptoral Forelegs Blades
• Sack of 'FireFly' fire bottles and 'Honey Dew' Medical Ointment
• 'Tanta' Short sword
• Zopherinae Iron-Clad Carapace Armor

Skills and Abilities

• Preying Mantis Art: Xiao is a master in the North and South 'Preying' styles of combat. The North fighting style is based on attacks with his Kana Blades. Using aggressive attacks before resting into a resting position. The South involves a defensive form of fight. Dodging, Blocking, and Parrying with his Kana Blades. These are both thought to the Mantis Warrior Caste to be used together to form a overall fast paced fighting style. When facing against each other, most Mantis wait for what seems like hours, until finding the perfect timing to inflict their attack.
• Battle Alchemy: Developed heavily when facing Spider Invaders. The Mantis developed Alchemy potions used mostly as thrown material. Their effects range from poisons, fire starters, and pesticides. Most of the Materials used come from non sentient Insects, but the strongest, most lethal ones come from Sentient Insects. Even other Mantis. Xiao has experience with most of the common potions, thought among all the Warrior Caste.
• Cook: Xiao has spent days to weeks out from his homeland. This has forced him to learn to make meals. The Warrior Caste of Mantis have been thought the basics as eating other Insects raw is considered 'Dishonorable' and Savage'. Meant for the lower caste and not of their Nobility.

^{Cowards and Beast are no different from one another. At least the Beast run on instinct rather than choice.}

Personality

Xiao is known as one of the most Honorable Mantis there is. Strict, but Fair. He is quite an amount of compassion for his old position in the Warrior Caste. He speaks quite formal and proper compared to the average Insect, showing his High class. Some find him quite suspicious due to his slow and calm nature and due to the Prejudice of most to Mantis, some would think he was constantly planning to cut their Head off and chew their innards. This of course is the furthest from the truth. Not because of his nature necessarily, mostly because eating Insects raw is considered disgusting...

History

Long ago the Mantis were absolute Savages in their past Wars. Losing themselves in the heat of battle and killing friend and foe. For awhile this proved effective, but as time grew with the neighboring sentient races, their Arrogant frenzies cost them many casualties. In war and in their culture as well. After the Sixer dynasty fell in shambles, the Mantis committed terrible acts among each other and waged war for years with one another. It wasn't until Kodenbushi-Kabu was born did the Mantis gain a sense of unity. Establishing the Current Kabu Dynasty today.

Kabu Xie was a Shogun during the Sixer Dynasty, and lead a small army of Mantis to reclaim the Throne and establish peace among the Mantis. Although the Mantis reputation as a species was ruined, he aimed to rectify this and bring Honor to his Insects. This was over 100 Birth cycles ago. Much has changed during these times. Some extremely controversial while some minor changes in their culture. Such as not eating Sentient Insects and dulling their Barbed Forearms. The controversy stems from their now established 'Elite Warrior Caste'. Kabu decided to raise an standing army during some of the Tension created by the Spiders before the Great Spider War. Most of the Mantis Warriors were commoners. Having just their Forearm's barbs re-sharpened and bringing any Armor they could buy or carry. Although Kabu created his own unit to lead his Mantis and to stop all acts of savagery their Hearts contain.

These Special Mantis were picked and trained from Birth. Not only in War, but in Honor. They were created to be Elite units. Few in numbers, but expertly trained. With the help of alchemy, they grew and extra set of arms under their forearms. Their wings were removed as flight was considered cowardly and made space for Battle armor. Their Forearm's natural barbs were filed down and replaced with 'Kana' blades. Their Eyes are shrunk to make them harder to injure and finally they have lost their original color's replaced with a form of Dark green. One for every hundred Mantis Warrior, were raised. They were brutally trained in War and Honor. Even going as far as committing a Honor suicide by their Tana Blades for losing a battle or allowing their controlling force to Frenzy and fight among themselves.

Xiao Ke was one of these Warriors. Being born into the Elite Warrior Caste and going to war as a young Mantis. He served in the Great Spider War in almost all fronts. The Underground Invasion of the Ants colony, the Defense of the Bee's tree, and even the Final battle of Entomos. Fighting with all different Species and Class of Insects. Meeting the Spiders on their front and contributing into Sergeant Major Edward's defeat. From the lonely rank of Apprentice to now a Seieibushi, Xiao in not stranger to War. Although the War has ended and Xiao was a stranger to the World. Due to the Spider Laws, his unit was disbanded. Meant to integrate into the Normal everyday Mantis culture. A task Xiao could not complete. Now he travels Entomos, doing any odd jobs that require his set of skills. Hopefully the call of battle with ring again, and he could serve his purpose before he dies of age.

For ideas: I like what @Scrapula mentioned, but would like the start of Spider War II, but more like a large group trying to overthrow the larger group of Spiders. Maybe the Spiders toss the laws out of the way and completely revolt against all species or just a civil war happens with our Chars join the side for the Laws to stay in place(obviously). I think this route allows player Spiders to still be on everyone else side. I think we should also have our group meet up for something very minor and then it evolves quickly into this huge conflict.

Lords of the Stars

Sorry guys Im resigning from this one. Hope you all have fun. Maybe I'll join in the future!

Behind the Avatar

Name: Jack Goldart
Age:22
Gender: Male
Bio:
Jack is an American Average Joe. Works a 9-5 Construction job in the City of Tampa Florida. During the age of sixteen to eighteen Jack was severely depressed for most of his life, heavily shaping his personality to this day. He lived alone with his Father and at the age of 52 he died of cancer. Living alone and with his Drunk of an aunt occasionally checking in with him since she was now his legal Guardian. After High school he left and began working at his Father's friend's construction company. He made quite a decent living for his age. Able to live alone in a studio Apartment in an alright neighborhood.

About 4 years ago he discovered YGGDRASIL, shortly after Highschool. A old friend recommended it to him and that was his hobby. Usually playing while after work and usually intoxicated. After the initial cost, it was a cheap hobby that he could come and relax in the world. At first at least. Jack found most of his fun in the PVP scene of the game.

Like many when starting off, he got his kicks off easy fights and griefing lower players, taking whatever loot they had and making money out of it. Then shortly after his time in game at just the level 20 he was absolutely stomped by a PVP guild Brique Squadz, they invited him to his ranks due to him "Being more of a hassle then expected" Learning anything and all he could about the dynamics of PVP in YGGDRASIL. Becoming a Top Matched Player in his Guild and a known name in some of the Larger PVP Scene. The combat gave him a rush, which eventually faded away allowing him to think more clearly during fights, but the game seemed less appealing overall.

After about two years into the game, he slowly played less and less. Meeting his future wife Carrion, taking most of his free time away from YGGDRASIL. It had been two months after his Marriage with her until he started coming back to play the game regularly and to his displeasure the game was announced to shut down in just a few short weeks. To honor so many times of fun, he logged just an hour before it was shut down. A move he would later deeply regret.

Fighting Style

Spooky fighting style was described as a 'Bruiser'. Spooky baits opponents to attack him and uses their damage against themselves.

Strengths:
Years of PVP experience has let Spooky have a taste of every kind of fighting, but his current build is one of his most awarding, due to the nature of actually having to think before a move. A when those moves are made they are incredibly damaging. Tanking heavy damage and then turning that damage against the opponents themselves. When tanking, Spooky is unmoving, a complete bulwark to the opponents that attack him. Shrugging off Super-tier abilities with ease.

Weaknesses:
With the great strength comes a cost. Spooky is incredibly slow. From any movement from just moving along the battlefield to his actual attacks. Fast ranged opponents are his hard counter, if they can apply the damage to break his tank and escape him, their is few things Spooky can do.

Equipment

Claymore of the Slain - A legendary long sword that's handle reaches Spooky's head. It carries awesome damage, but is extremely heavy and also one of the slowest weapons in all of YGGDRASIL. Usually used as a off hand finisher, by others but is his Primary weapon of choice. Usually it's seen with him dragging it along the floor.

Bastard Sword of the Undead - An average looking sword used by many High level Undead Players for its quick speed and good damage. It is Spooky's secondary weapon and usually seen dug in his back. The sword is only brought to bear when facing an extremely fast opponent, when his slower Claymore has no chance of a hit.

Armor of the Fallen - This epic piece of loot was awarded to Spooky when he won a PVP Raid event with his Guild a few years back. Even when he received it he could not use it until level 100, so it is quite new to even him. The armor looks incredibly unsuspecting of its class, exactly as intended. While it looks like a lower piece of medium armor, it is anything but. The armor is ridiculously heavy and has immense defense in all attributes. Is has all the Undead features of rust and decay with just a little bit of shine in its gauntlets.

Pain and Pleasure - A ring that was found in Spooky's earlier levels in YGGDRASIL. The ring allows the user to quickly switch stats ranking with items, but after a whole minute both the items stats are returned back and reduced by half for 5 minutes. Sometimes it can be the edge he needs when switching his armor's defense rating into the attack rating with his weapon. Although it's rarely used due to the Risk it usually offers.

Abilities

Soulless - A Undead Knight passive ability. After Spooky is under 50% health can only be effected by one debuff at a time and the debuff last only half as long as it normally should.

Feel No pain The strongest tanking ability in Spooky's arsenal. After lowering down to 75% health he can activate the ability allowing all his damage resistances to be doubled, but at the cost of his movement speed. This ability can only be activated once every 2 minutes.

Damage Siphon - When this ability is activated all damage done to him without his resistance begins to fill a pool for 10 seconds. After the pool has been filled Spooky can activate it at any time to either use the number of damage to heal himself or add to his Phy. Atk stat for 10 seconds. This ability can be used every 30 seconds.

Toss - Spooky can grab a target by the neck and toss them short ranges. Not only inflicting damage, but depending on the Target's health, their is a chance that the target will be stunned for several seconds.

Grave Return/Accession - His bones and armor will fall apart as almost he had died and be quickly absorbed by the ground benefice him. Spooky can travel a short range unhindered and can pop out of the ground fully assembled and deliver a blow. This ability can only be used once every two minutes

Whirlwind - A standard spin attack that allows Spooky to spin with his sword for a single time. A standard close range AOE abulity.

Summon: Skeletal Pawns - A simple summon spell that brings a small group of sword bearing skeletons from the earth. They carry slowing poison on their Blades, making them a bother while still helping Spooky in battle. They have extremely low health and are not too useful.

Summon: Chain Bearers - A summoning spell that opens two holes from the ground, with two skeletons erupting from them. The skeletons bear Demonic chains that wrap around an enemy and hold them in place. They are incredibly weak with only a single HP point, but the sudden pause for the enemy can mean curtains at times.

How a normal human would view me

The average Human would probably quite afraid of Spooky. As he does look like an undead skeleton. Although he will occasionally throw on a full body cloak to hide his face, only exposing his armor's gauntlets and grieves. Meant to be used to hide himself from Player's overview, but works just as good concealing his true form from NPCs.
