Well Met!

Welcome to the site! I had a NationStates account years ago based on Kuriboh from Yugioh, but I never RPed there. Enjoy your time here!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I get how you feel @Teyao, I've done dumb things in my posts in the past, and I'm sure I will do them in the future as well :P

@ORXC and @Duckie I appreciate your interest, let me know if you have any questions!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

<Snipped quote by Zapdos>

To be fair I think this was before he saw what everyone else could do

@Teyao

Technically he never saw Adam use his powers once, he was too busy stabbing an ogre at the time :P

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

@ZapdosHe is a giant toddler lol He'll stop crying when he finally figures out he has a power too. It'll probably have levelled up 3 times before he even knows it's there lol

@Saiyan

Yes, the power of annoying MacKensie :P

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Zell: "To have such strength and skill. To be in such a dangerous situation where one wrong move would be the end of you. To fight to the death in the defence of innocent people. It was intoxicating. No winning any football cup final could even compare to this. Nothing in his world could."

Also Zell: no fair everyone else has cool stuff, I just have a sword

I joke of course @Saiyan I enjoy reading your posts

Medieval Fantasy Adventure RP (Title TBD)

@Zapdos I was thinking of some spells being combinations of different anime. Turn small objects into bombs, JoJo style. Or a gigantic middle finger of an explosion, Konosuba style. Course it’s all going to be balanced for the current setting. Maybe small mana orbs that my character launches that explode when they hit something, minor to no homing.

@Darkmoon Angel

I've never seen either of those series, but if you can translate those abilities into the setting, cool. The mana orb thing could work, I think.

Medieval Fantasy Adventure RP (Title TBD)

@Zapdos Quite an interesting, if somewhat, simple idea which is perfect.

Do you have any hard-limits on what races will you allow in the roleplay? I don't mean in terms of power but in terms of weirdness. Say, the blobs from DnD (or was it Pathfinder) or tiny fairies that fly and have strong magic but strength-wise, they're...well...

@Timemaster

Thank you! I kept it simple on purpose so the RP could be malleable based on what the players want out of it. I like collaborating with my fellow writers!

To answer your question, I think it would depend on context. E.g. I'd probably not allow the blob because of things like measuring how it takes damage, that sort of thing. Maybe the fairy, depending on how they're structured. It might be easier if they're at least the size of small children, but I'm open to discussing whatever ideas you may have.

@Zapdos How do you feel about explosives in this setting? Handmade and/or magic.

@Darkmoon Angel

I think explosives could work; again, it's about context. If they just lock on to the enemy and autohit them, that's boring, but if there's more nuance it's more interesting. I'd lean more towards magic explosives in this kind of setting though.

@Timemaster @Darkmoon Angel by the way, it's fine if you both are magic users. I can make a city guard type character to be the meat shield, if it is needed. Or if we get a ton of interest, I can just not make a PC in the first place. Whatever makes sense for the RP!

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Adam watched the scene around him as everyone tried helping this new woman in their own way. Joji was one he’d have to be wary of; the way he ordered the soldier to get the water seemed brutish and unnecessary. At least he showed some kindness to the lady, so maybe this Japanese-looking man could work together with everyone else effectively, but he’d have to wait and see how things went. With Zell’s introduction, he simply rolled his eyes. Not at the part about James being good at tactics; that much could be possible. The Druid hadn’t interacted with him much, but he seemed to be a decent sort so far, being the first to help out the newbie in the first place. The part about “saving MacKensie four times already” was what led to the reaction. Based on her aim earlier and her behavior versus his, Adam was not impressed by the swordsman.

"I'll have you know, it was I who saved his life."

Yeah, that sounded right, but MacKensie sounded like she was unsatisfied by the interaction. Adam patted her shoulder and smiled in what he hoped would be seen as an act of support. There was too much going on to say more and he didn’t want to confuse this new girl. Arthur seemed to introduce himself cordially; it was good that this giant of a man wasn’t a stereotypical “big dumb man.” Having the time to contemplate it now, the Druid was impressed at how the anchor wielder took on an ogre basically by himself. Perhaps they could talk later about their respective battles, but right now wasn’t the time for this. Right now it was time to help this woman, Lillianna Steiner she said her name was, as she asked MacKensie what was going on.

Adam smiled as Lillianna accepted the canteen and drank the water. She introduced herself again, then took the staff with a nod. So it was hers. Good. She seemed to be in tune with it, like he was with the plants he controlled. Maybe she was some kind of magic user?

"Well, waking up in a large stone sarcophagus, being dressed for a ren faire, and somehow using magic for the first time can be a tad panic-inducing I would think."

Yeah, she was, and she seemed stressed out. Understandable, given the circumstances. Adam knew he certainly wasn't calm when he arrived in this new world. The man took a step back to give the woman some room.

"...Apologies, all. I was a bit snappy there. But this is all...I can't even fully fathom it right now. What's next, a necromanc-"

The Druid followed Lillianna’s eyes to the skeletons that were there. MacKensie did her best to reassure the woman, speaking kindly and factually. Hopefully that helped, but Adam wasn’t about to leave the poor lady more confused than she had to be.

“No problem. What you see is the remains of a battle. These creatures attacked the town, so we helped defend it. If it helps at all, I have some kind of plant magic, so I understand the shock of it all. I know it’s a scary situation, so if you need any help, please let me know. We’re all in this together.” Adam smiled, having spoken sincerely, hoping his words helped the mage at least a little.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Sorry for the long post, all, was just trying to catch up with Lillianna's reactions to everyone rushing to her and the situation around her.

All topped off with a badly-timed attempt to exasperatedly comment "what's next, a necromancer?" and noticing the dead bodies.

@Crusader Lord

No apologies necessary for quality writing! You've given me a few ideas for a post as well, though I give no promises regarding how long it will be :P
