Yuuji

Kingdoms of the Sky Online.

*places both hands on face shyly*

A-Arigato Tyrant-san...Coyote-san...

*blushes*

Yuuji was just speaking her mind.

Kingdoms of the Sky Online.

Y-Yuuji with Tyrant-san.

Except she believes basics should be applied.

There are also two words that are really important in Yuuji's eyes.

Player Intuition.

To avoid this being turned into a number/stat/power grinding role play (which isn't really what Ike-san wanted, Ike-san wanted something that revolved more around character development and context growth wise), Yuuji believes flat numbers should be left out completely. Player intuition is important. It dictates maturity, oversight, and a general willingness to put aside petty things such as personal pride for a greater cause. Yuuji feels with numbers involved, focus shifts away from role playing and players get their creativity gimped, not to mention lazy with their words.

By basics, Yuuji means this:

Fire is weak against water, so if your character is a Fire Mage that gets hit by water magic, you should obviously receive a greater amount of damage than your average Joe. Role play it out. Numbers don't have to be there necessarily. Elemental weaknesses and their general rule of thumb should be kept in mind and considered without them having to be forced down your throats with numbers.

If a target is wearing armor they obviously take less damage. Y-Yuuji is sure the capable role players here all know that. Again, numbers aren't necessary. Be mature about it. Basic physics, chemistry, knowledge. Fighting against armored knights and you're a(n) Thief/Assassin?

-Fall back and gracefully call for the aid of party members.
-If you're alone you can just run. They'll get exhausted chasing you.
-Go for the spots between the armor, trip them, do some basic actions. You don't need to be over dependent on skills.
-Hinder their movements and act as annoying disruptions for your capable front/back line mages or warriors.
OR if applicable
-Surround them with fire and smoke them out of their thick and heavy armor. Players still feel pain/heat. NPC as well. Unless they're possessed armor mobs/undead/some other heat/pain resistant creature.

This is role playing and Ike-san has given us a vast variety of freedoms. We get to be creative~

Even characters with high levels can't fight the terrors of gravity. While this is a video game like Silver-san mentioned, this isn't any regular video game, it's a VRMMORPG. All players are able to jump a set distance, for a set height. Players with armor obviously can't jump as high. Players with class distinctions should obviously be able to jump higher. If you fall off a ledge, you'll take damage. Unless an ability or a circumstance arises, natural instances of damage should be applied.

Ryu said
Is it okay to have an ability that causes someone to jump 12-20 meters backwards in the air?

In my opinion, no. That is not okay. If you jump 12-20 meters backwards, which is respectively 36 feet to 60 feet, you are going to have broken bones and your character will take fall damage, so I would like your (Ike) input on that.

While the question wasn't posed for Yuuji, Y-Yuuji believes that if it's an ability it should be fine. The ability to sustain the damage caused by a 36-60 feet jump should be included in the ability, otherwise it wouldn't be an ability. Whether the ability is a passive or not, the player has to describe in someway, in character, that makes it clear to the readers that the ability was used. Think of it as ability armor.

Uuu...

Y-Yuuji isn't the best at describing things without examples so...here's an example. The ability being used in the example is a standard fantasy «Shield Charge».

«Shield Charge»
The Knight brings the shield to his shoulder and rushes valiantly forward for several meters. Stuns the target(s) upon impact for several seconds. Damage received while «Shield Charge» is active is reduced by 70%.

Leroy said
Leroy cursed under his breath as the silent assailant trailed effortlessly behind him.

To think that he had the terrible luck of being placed on the hit list by someone from the White Rogue's Guild.

Weaving left and right, the knight observed his surroundings in a panic. There had to be a way. Some way to shake off this pesky hired hand.

A dagger flew past his ear, whistling a sharp tune of death, before lodging itself comfortably in the head of his noble steed.

Time seemed to slow down as the horse buckled underneath him. Soaring into the air, his large frame flew over various bushes and twisted branches before finally breaking out into a clearing.

Nothing but cold night air and pale moonlight surrounded him.

"R-Really now?!"

Just his luck to fall off a cliff. God damn RNGed forests.

Panic seized his voice as the distance between him and the ground rapidly shrunk.

It was a fifty meter fall...

Pushing his shield in front of him, Leroy felt his arm buckle slightly against the generated air resistance.

His shield glowed a brilliant yellow as a strong determination crossed his face.

"N-Not yet. Not before I see her!"

Her face flashed before his eyes as he came crashing towards the ground.

As the durability of his «Knight's Shield» quickly depleted upon receiving the damage dealt by the impact of the fall, large cracks became visible through the brilliant yellow glow that was now dulling.

He watched his health take a minor dip, changing from a darker green to a much weaker and lighter one.

Standing up, he threw his aching arm around.

There was definitely going to be a nasty bruise.

...Start a bit differently than I planned. Otherwise it might be a bit...

Uuuuu...

*scratches head in confusion*

P-Pyro-san, w-while Yuuji has no idea what Pyro-san's talking about, Pyro-san should do what makes Pyro-san most comfortable!

Y-Yuuji fully supports Pyro-san's decisions! P-Pyro-san!

Pyromania99 said I think we should make sure they are all dead too. Sink our blades in a few more times.

Pyro-san also believes one should get its head decapitated and carried around on top of a spear.

J-Just to send to message.

Grey Haven: The Witch Hut, School, and Sanctuary

P-Pyro-san.

When should we be expecting an IC?

-shuffles nervously-

...b-because Yuuji might have to go away for another day or two.

A-Also definitely not because she's getting impatient!

I shall refrain from answering the question.

*jabs finger accusingly*

N-Nonsense! Answer the question!

Pyromania99 said
I'm only slightly clueless. Also, according to Ryu, if I finish a CS for this one RP, you are my property Yuuji. How does that make you feel?

*becomes extremely flustered*

W-When did Yuuji become property?

Grey Haven: The Witch Hut, School, and Sanctuary

*cowers in the corner*

Y-Yuuji has no idea what's going on.

A rebooted MMORPG

Interested!

Y-Yuuji also believes the problem of inactivity could be dealt with rather easily. Inactive players could be simply marked as inactive players.

A-After all people do stop showing interest in role play like they do to games. If a player were to stop being active, they could just be said to stopped logging on, and whatever problems they're absence might cause could be role played out.

How often would Ike-san like people to post?
