Welcome to Dark Age Legends, chapter 2 sign ups! Chapter 2 will pick up where chapter 1 left off, but due to the break in the action, this is an excellent point to jump in if you haven?t already. If you haven?t been following the story the entire way through, don?t worry. You are not expected to read the entire RP-- just the summary and guidelines below. However, if you never played in an RP before (particularly this one) you may want to read a random page or two in the middle to get a sense of how everything works (don?t read page 1, since we got off to a rough start, heh?) Chapter 1 players should also read this, as there are a few minor adjustments.
Theme
A fantasy medieval type deal. Magic is encouraged. Technology should be low (but a few weird inventions are okay). Guns are permitted if you really want them, but they shouldn't be too effective.
Archives
The automatically updated <a href='http://darkage.mysticsoftware.net/dal/viewer.php?id=472' target='_blank'>DAL Archives</a> might be easier to read than the topic on this forum, if you want look back at the story (it?s just a script that reads from the forum database and strips off all the signature, avatar clutter, etc.) This is useful if you want to save some pages to your harddrive.
Background Story (Chapter 1 prelude)
The nation of Romme is located on a mid-sized island, about a three day walk from the northern to southern most point by foot. The castle and capital city are located at the northern most edge. The island also contains a port town and several smaller villages.
King Romme has received word that a mysterious "Black Army" has landed on the southern shore and is advancing straight for the castle... Quite alarmed, he sent several scouts to find out the meaning of this trespassing. None have returned. What could be the meaning of this? The long war with Tjed ended 10 years ago. Could they want revenge? No, the two kings were on good terms now. Finally, a name was extracted: The Dark Empire. Foreign invaders...
The castle was prepared for war. The town was evacuated to inside the stronger castle walls while the soldiers took up their positions just inside the outer town wall. This is where they'll meet them...
Chapter 1 Summary
(Yes, this is way longer than I though, but at least give it a skim.)
Chaos erupts as soon as the Dark Empire arrives on the scene. Draven, a powerful sorcerer of fire and the high general of the dark army, leads his forces in a devastating assault on the defenders of Romme, lead by the aging knight Iduran. But the assault doesn?t go as smoothly as planned. An air mage and officer of the Dark Empire turned traitor, Scorch, lays waste to the soldiers of his former nation along with the heroic yet mysterious Zeros?. Draven himself duels the young assassin martial artist Sigilus and is unable to respond the assaults on his army, sending his officer Kail to do the job, who ultimately dies in the fray. Before ?getting serious? with his adversary, Draven makes Sigilus an offer he can?t refuse and Sigilus switches sides, now attacking the already battle weary Iduran.
Draven now turns his sights on his old ally, Scorch, who has been wounded by the scythe of a wraith that serves Draven. But Scorch manages to catch Draven off guard with a berserk lightning strike, and crawls away to safety. After recovering, Draven goes ballistic, sending a massive orb of flame into the forest Scorch escaped into, causing utter destruction. Thinking his enemy is dead, Draven makes his way to the castle, which has now been secured by his troops. At the same time, Iduran and Sigilus both land critical blows, incapacitating each other.
In the meantime, we learn of Duilin, a soldier forced to join the Dark Empire against his will, and his commanding officer Darion, who (successfully) tries to turn Draven against the soldier. The brash Duilin decides enough is enough and confronts Draven in the castle?s throne room, along with a Romme solder named Patrick, who dies rather quickly. Soon Sigilus, restored to full health by a mysterious medallion he found earlier, and a not-so-dead Scorch enter the fray. Chaos erupts as the two powerful mages, Draven and Scorch, lock horns for the second time, totally destroying the room. Scorch manages to escape with a teleportation spell, and, unbeknownst to Draven, the battle resumes around Iduran who is still lying injured outside. Duilin manages to kill Darion, but Draven spots the fray from afar due to Scorch?s lightning spells and arrives on the scene, blasting Duilin unconscious with a single attack.
Draven immediately recognizes Iduran?s sword-- his true goal in attacking Romme. But before he can obtain it, Scorch teleports Iduran and himself to safety. In the meantime, Duilin regains his senses and sneaks into the castle. Because he is still wearing the armor of the Dark Empire, he manages to trick the occupying soldiers into barring the door, which adds much to Draven?s vexation later.
Scorch?s teleportation spell lands him and Iduran inside the castle with Duilin. Iduran recovers slightly from a healing potion, but his wound continues to trouble him for the rest of the chapter. After fighting off some soldiers, the trio manage to escape from a castle window. The plan is to follow the shoreline along the northern edge of the island to safety, but their escape is soon foiled by Sigilus, who alerts Draven.
Round 4 of Draven vs. Scorch is the wildest, most intense battle in the chapter. Scorch begins by using winds spells to create huge waves by the beachfront which Sigilus disappears into (for good?). While in the water, the trio meets a shape-shifting Gepardi named Cheetah who helps get Iduran, Duilin, and an aquatic dog-like animal named Gedi to safety while Scorch effectively distracts Draven. Draven and Scorch go all out high above the castle, causing much damage to the surrounding towers and the foundation and walls of the castle itself.
In the meantime, Iduran speaks of a cave used as a base by the soldiers of Romme where the new party, consiting of himself, Cheetah, Duilin, and Gedi can regroup and rest. He leads the way there, or tries to at least, as approaching a wrong cave leads to a battle with a giant ice serpent, which is defeated due to the efforts of Duilin and Cheetah. Cheetah claims this beast?s form as his newest transformation.
The battle between Draven and Scorch moves to the interior of the castle as Scorch gets blasted through a stone ceiling. Moving to the demolished throne room where they fought earlier, Draven appears to be gaining the upper hand, blinding Scorch with a fiery attack. But just as Scorch begins to escape via a doorway, the room, along with a good chunk off the castle, collapses upon Draven and buries him in a mountain of rubble. Scorch manages to escape to by the beachfront, but his wounds overcome him and he collapses.
Iduran and company come by another cave, this one haunted by the ghost of the Romme soldier Patrick. After making the confused soul realize his fate, the party makes it to their destination at last. Iduran is lead to a room within the cave where his extensive wounds are to be treated, and the rest of the party helps them selves to new armor and weapons and settle in for the night.
Meanwhile, Draven breaks free of the rubble and, thinking Scorch must be trapped underneath, attacks the remains of the castle with an explosive fire spell, causing even more of the castle to collapse. Satisfied, he returns his military base within the destroyed town and makes plans to find Iduran?s sword.
Scorch is rescued by Nagash, an earth mage allied with Romme, and some archers. His health is restored except for his sight, but the earth mage grants him a new power of sensory vision, in which he can identify sources of energy around him. Scorch and Nagash set out after Draven, but an argument and conflict between the two leaves Scorch crippled once again and gets him captured by a group of Dark soldiers. Draven, who is surprised to see Scorch still alive, has him chained up in a burned out building and placed under heavy guard.
This is where the story continues?
Rules (Important! Extended and clarified from last time.)
There are two types of people in the RP: characters and NPCs.
You can have up to three active characters (who you'll set up here). These are your characters and your characters alone. No one can control them but you.
NPCs are more flexible. Often you?ll see some soldiers, villagers, monsters, or other non important characters. Generally, anyone can create and use these characters. But if someone is using a NPC in a character like fashion, it?s probably best not to control it for them. Generally NPCs die off or leave the story in some way after a few posts, so posting them on the sign-up isn?t necessary.
As far as the story goes, anything can happen as long as it's in good taste and doesn't disrupt the flow of the RP. The only restriction is that you don't control other players' characters. i.e. If you throw a fireball at someone, you let them decide whether they get hit by it or not.
That said, no immortal god-like characters! This is a story, not a game, and there are no winners or losers. Your characters can be strong, but they should have weaknesses as well.
Be descriptive! Especially when you're entering a place of your own design. Try and build off of other posters' descriptions as well. This is important, as it?s easier to tell what?s going on if you know where you?re at.
Try not to post more than once or twice a day... this is mostly so I don't get left behind (heh...).
On the other hand, try and stop in to update at least once a day!
Three day rule: If you are fighting someone and your opponent doesn?t post for three days, assume they were hit by your attack and knocked unconscious (heh?)
Places
So we?re on the same page of what?s going on where, and who?s there.
The town surrounding Romme Castle -- has been totally destroyed though the battles, save a few buildings. Now it serves as a military camp where Draven and the remnants of his forces reside. Scorch is imprisoned here.
Romme Castle -- is in bad shape. Half of it is rubble and the other half is crumbling. But weren?t there some villagers locked in its dungeon?
The forests south of Romme -- largely burned by some of Draven?s attacks. Portions are still burning. Dark Soldier search parties are scattered around, looking for Iduran and his sword.
The cave southeast of the castle -- the last stronghold of the nation of Romme. A few of their soldiers have made it here alive. Iduran, Cheetah, Duilin, and Gedi are resting here.
Draven?s Armada -- a group of ships located at the very southern tip of the island where Draven made his landing. Largely unvisited in chapter 1. Should have some Dark Soldiers in them.
Any other place on the island you want to add during the course of the RP is fair game!
Comments
Chapter 1 was nicely done. I?d like to congratulate Mark of the Dragon for sticking though a large chunk of the RP, Dude Man for joining early on and staying to the end, and Cesque for seeing it the whole way through!
The only thing I?d like to see different in chapter 2 is a bit less dependence on me. It seemed in chapter 1 a lot of the time everyone was completely focused on following my two characters (Draven and Iduran) and their only actions were reactions to my characters or events that I set up (there are obviously some exceptions). This is perfectly fine in the beginning, but now that the RP is well on its way, I?d like to see some more independence and innovation. To encourage this, Iduran is going to be out of commission in at least the beginning of chapter 2 due to his wounds. He is going to send those that were following him (and hopefully a newcomer or two) off on an important quest in the opposite direction of Draven into the unexplored innards of the island without any descriptive help from me. So get ready!
Characters
(Almost? done?)
To start, post your characters in this thread. Continuing chapter 1 players should repost their characters as well. You should include the following information:
Name:
Gender:
Race: Can be pretty much anything
Age:
Job:
Weapon(s): plus a description, if necessary
Alliance: Whether he/she is aligned with the Romme Kingdom, the Dark Empire, or something of your own design (or no one at all!)
Description: Physical appearance
Bio: A short background. Perhaps just his/her immediate past, but can be more in depth if you want.
Chapter 1 Bio: If your character was in chapter 1, give a very short description of what he/she did.
Here's mine:
Name: Draven
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 25
Job: High General
Weapon: none
Alliance: Dark Empire
Description:
Standing just under six feet tall, Draven has long black hair tied back at the shoulder and a piercing glance. His armor, black with red trim, is light and flexible. His gloves and boots are dark brown. His cape, dark red on the inside and black on the outside, sports a four-winged dragon insignia shaped out of red lines on the back-- the insignia of the Dark Empire.
Bio:
The overly pompous Draven lead the menacing army that destroyed Romme. He knows basic spells in other elements and some black magic, but his true passion, his obsession rather, is fire magic. He commands the fire element with devastating ease. He does not use a physical weapon, but sometimes likes to form a blade of fire to use as a sword.
In chapter 1:
Draven displays his absolute will to command at several points. He had several battles with the traitor Scorch, who quickly became his rival. In addition to his crimson blade attack, we see a massively destructive gargantuan fireball he conjures when angry, he trademark aura of flame that surrounds him as he gathers more energy, and the ability to levitate himself.
Name: Iduran
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 58
Job: Knight Captain
Weapon: Broadsword, unusually ornate with a beautiful red gem in the handle. It's said to be his family heirloom.
Alliance: Romme
Description:
Iduran is a tall man, standing at 6'4". His short, once brown hair is graying with age, although he still has his cold, steely glance. His metalic gray armor is heavy, but he moves in it with ease. His cape is a light blue.
Bio:
The aging Iduran is King Romme's most trusted knight. But he is no longer the invincible warrior he once was. Still, his swordsmanship is unmatched throughout the kingdom. He also has great experience on his side, having credit for successfully ending the war with the nearby Kingdom of Tjed 10 years earlier. He has been put in charge of defending the castle against the impending attack of the Dark Empire. In battle, he relies mostly on his sword, although he does know a few basic wind spells.
In chapter 1:
We find out that the sword Iduran holds is why Draven attacked. Iduran feels it contains some sort of power, but he does not know how to utilize it. Near the beginning Iduran suffers a wound that plagues him for the rest of the chapter.
Chapter 2 will begin in a week or so!
(Yes, this is the longest post ever, heh?)

oh, i see how it is... :angry: what happened to Kail!?! :angry:

Name: Shin Yong Tsing
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Job: Head General
Weapon: Likes forming a sword out of ice magic, although occasionally he will use his bare hands as lethal weapons.
Alliance: The Holy Realm of Aritan
Description: Shin Yong Tsing is the highest ranking general in Aritan, as well as the man who formed Aritan's military system. Shin Yong is very well adept in ice magic, and wields this elemental force with great ease. Around him at all times is an aura of ice energy, constantly keeping the area around him at a cold temperature, making his ice spells even more effective. His favorite means of attack is to form a sword from his ice magic and to impale it into the heart of his foes, turning the foe to ice instantly.
He has silver hair and brown eyes. He is always wearing black robes, even in combat. To him, armor makes one weak. He is about 5'11" tall, and weighs about 150 pounds.
ARITAN: The holy kingdom of Aritan has branded the Dark Empire as their sworn enemy, and their best troops are always searching the globe attempting to find them so that they may eradicate the evil that plagues them. The capitol of Aritan is a white marble city located right next to a mountain (exactly like Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, heh) The kingdom, while believed to be ruled by a benevolent king, is actually ruled by a council of seven priests, who believe that even though their kingdom is religious, people should be allowed to make their own choices.
Shin Yong founded their military system after defeating a Dark Empire Soldier who made an attempt on the lives of the Council about ten years ago. That soldier was left forgotten by his own army...just expendable.
Aritan is located about two thousand miles west of Romme. How Shin Yong managed to make it this far is a mystery even to him.

Hmmmm... I do not want to give everything about my character away, so if anything in this is unsatisfactory, then please tell me.
Name: Haraldur Gunnar Hilmarsson
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 20
Job: Prince and heir to throne of Víkingagarđ
Weapon: A normal looking Viking style long sword. It looks well made, but not fancy. It is simply a very good sword.
Alliance: Víkingagarđ
Description: He has long blond hair and blue eyes and a beard, like the majority of his people. He is 198 centimetres tall. He is muscular and well built. He has no scars at all.
Biography: The young prince of Víngagarđ is now with real power, with his father training him to be a ruler. He leads Víngagarđ's most elite unit, all of whom are berserkers and shapeshifters, including him. He has led many successful raids on all the countries in the area, including Romme. As a member of the royal family he has been trained in all forms of magic, as has his unit. He and his unit are completely ruthless in completing their objectives, which the prince usually devises himself. Through recent reports of spys he now knows of the troubles in this area, and is scouting out to find out how this could be to his country's advantage. He and his unit wear no armour, because of them being berserkers.
Víkingagarđ: This small country is a constant menace to its neighbors, who have never been able to venture more than 5 metres onto its soil without being repulsed, since the country is an island. The country has the best navy in the world, through necessity, and for the army it is the same. For the most part it is a citizen army, with the majority of the ranks being farmers. All males above the age of 14 are trained, and are expected to fight at 16. The country has alliances with noone, and expects only emnity from other cultures, and cares little. Its traders go all around the world selling their goods, and countries who have not let them in, or who have tried to tax them, have soon faced armies appearing seemingly out of nowhere through seaborne attack. The rulers pay attention to what is happening elsewhere at all times.

I see. So Xorlak, when do you plan for us to start?
In at least a few more days. I want to give anyone who wants to jump in a chance to sign up before it starts.
No unique comments for my character? I've returned to the RP, Xorlak-san!
I've noticed! I thought you'd make a big comeback.
Must I comment on individual characters now? (Heh...) An interesting opposite to Draven. I don't think they're going to get along very well... heh... Also, nice touch in explaining where he came from.
Shin Yong Tsing eh. Very bogus and awsome and cool, Indeed. The pciture of him reminds me of a Dragon Ball Z guy.

Though my slang volcabulary is limited, I do believe 'bogus' is a negative connotation, is it not? (Heh...)
Yeah, if you're at the limit, you can always have one of your characters die to make room for another. You can also downgrade one to NPC status for a while and pick him up later if you want, as long as you have three or less 'active' ones.

Well it can be. But it depends on how you use it, if you say it like "Ah man, that's just bogus!" It's bad, but if your like "Whoa! Bogus!" It's good. Bogus means UNBELIVEABLE.
Okay good. Because I have plans...Big plans.....sorta....
-
LOL!
Oh, I notice we have no female characters in the role-play...I guess I should make the first one.
Name: Gyulim Lee
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Race: Human
Job: Archer
Alliance: Aritan
Description: Gyulim Lee has short black hair, and tan skin. She is of Asian descent. Her eyes, brown, soften the hearts of even the most ruthless killers. Her soft touch calms even the wildest beast. She stands about 5'3", and weighs 145 pounds. She wears traditional robes most of the time, pink in color.
Bio: Gyulim Lee is not really a soldier of Aritan, but rather just a civilian. She grew worried about her love, Shin Yong Tsing, and she has fled the kingdom of Aritan to find him. She learned the art of Archery from Shin Yong when they were younger, and she also picked up the "Dragon Fist" style from her father. Gyulim Lee is the last living master of "Dragon Fist", and her abilities reflect that. She had been meaning to teach "Dragon Fist" to Shin Yong, but he was so obsessive with his Ice Magic, that she never could.
Currently Gyulim Lee is at a port town about 200 miles away from the island. The locals are rather rude at times, but she has found her way around. She is looking to rest for the first time in days. Right now she has a room at the local Inn, which is usually packed with Drunk Sailors. Luckily, there are almost none at this time. She plans to leave early tomorrow and continue her search for Shin Yong.
*PLEASE NOTE, Gyulim Lee is actually the RP version of one of my two Korean Penpals by the same name. I will react to different situations with this character in the manner that she would. I will also post a pic of Gyulim Lee when I get the chance.
-
Feamale charactor eh? I think I'm going to make one once I kill of somebody, she'll hook up with Duilin or something...or Nex....depends on who I kill off.
-
And where exactly is Asia in the world of Romme, the Dark Empire, Aritan and Víkingagarđ?
-
I only said "Asian Descent" to make it easier for you guys to picture her...
-
I see. Very smart indeed, to bad I all ready gave you the smarty pants award. Laughing
-
I shoulda added she was born and raised in Aritan her whole life...never been outside of its walls before.
-
Why don't you? You can edit posts, don't you know?
-
I know, but I don't think it's necessary.
-
Ummm....Okay....*Takes away smarty pants award from MotD*
-
Think back to that movie...
"Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure"
Except I probably get both their names wrong. (heh...)
Here's mine
For someone who seems to always get his grammer right that's pretty funny. Razz
-
No that's right. I have the movie on DVD! Best damn movie ever made!
Now let's quit wasteing posting space for people makeing charactors!
-
Fair enough.
-
MotD: It was quite obvious from her name, and the fact that she was described as being the stereotypical invincible ninja.
OK, my character has been rampaging through Europe and was born in Sweden before being teleported to this world!
Oh, yeah, and MotD: in the UK "Asian" usually refers to people from the Middle East or Indian Subcontinent, though Arab and Indian and Pakistani are more often used. Japan, China and Indo-Chian are usually referred either as East-Asia or the Orient. I think East-Asia is better as it is more specific, especially as the majority of people living in the continent of Asia do not come from East-Asia, but the Middle East and in and around the Indian Subcontinent. Actually, there is no such thing as Asia or Europe, they are both the same continent of Eurasia.
-
Dude, I only said she was of Asian Descent (or Oriental as ud prefer to say) so that it will be easier to picture her. Also, as for the "ninja" comment, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Ninjas are all masters of the style "Ninjutsu". Dragon Fist is a style custom-tailored for this role-play. She is just a "Martial Arts Master", ok?
-
I was having a laugh! I was not trying to get at you...
In my place
In my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost
Oh yeah
I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
Oh yeah
Yeah,
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah,
Hoe long must you pay for it?
Yeah,
How long must you wait for it?
For it...
-
For someone who seems to always get his grammer right that's pretty funny. Razz
Eh?
"Here's yours" / "Here's mine"
I don't get it...
-
Nothing seems wrong with it...at all.
-
Here's = here is
is = singular
You're referring to more than one. You need here're or "here are".
Heh...
-
Ok, so it was a minor mistake.
-
Xorlak, chould you complain to them that there wasteing space, because for some reason it's annoying me, I am annoying myself typeing this....
EDIT: Whatever, I no longer care, let's just do whatever
-
(I'll neter tale a bit more later, I have no time right now... Sorry. But I'll enter the tale, fear not.)

Description: Black-skinned, tribal-looking shaman with dreadlocks. Quite nervous. Has some sort of character division, sometimes he's calm and caring, sometimes he turns mad.
Bio: Was a high-ranked Romme mage, then led partisans.
Chapter 1 Bio: Wanted to save Scorch believing he's the weapon who could be used against Draven, but the impertinance of the air wizard drove him insane and he abanadoned Scorch to be imprisoned.
-
Awsome! Nobody new however, but still, awsome. I can't wait untill we start, just I hope it's not today or tomorrow, because I'm REALLY busy, well sorta today, just tomorrow I will be, mostly. Yeah...
-
When it starts, I'm gonna have two characters to control...one in a location you guys aren't familiar with. She won't be on the island for a while, since the ship headed for the Island won't leave the port town for a couple days. So for one whole chapter, you guys have to read about Gyulim's trek through a port town.
-
<span style='color:teal'>I have 3 characters to control, and all at the same time (Qeni and Zev never get seperated from Zeros', unless the story does something...and if I know you guys something will happen..heh...)</span>

Name: Seth Faowind
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: 22 human years
Job: Ex-Monk with Drow magical abilities
Weapon(s): Steel Claws
Alliance: No alliance. Will join which cause he sees more justified later on
Description: Seth has Plantinum hair that goes about halfway down his back. You often can't see his emerald green eyes behind his hair. He weighs 132 pounds, and is 4 foot 7 inches. He wears A dark red tunic with leather straps on his neck, wrists, and a few on his torso. He has on a pair of baggy light blue pants. He has leather straps on his knees. He wears black boots with a pointy elf toe.
Personality-wise, Seth is anti-social, but will still talk to people. He keeps idle chit chat to an absolute minimum however. It's a bad idea to sneak up on him because he is jumpy at times. Seth is almost always sad. Seth is a pretty deep guy. He gets lost in thought often.
Bio: Seth was raised by the monastry. His parents abandoned him as a child (I know, very cliche, but gimme a break). The monastry treated him badly because he was a Drow, but taught, feed, and clothed none the less. The children in the monastry always teased him about his platinum hair and would never play with him. This is why Seth is anti-social. Fueled by his unhappiness, he trained immensely. He eventually became the strongest person in the whole monastry. His grades in the monastry were poor. He hated working with herbs, almost as much as he hated the monastries god. He was such a great combatant that he taught his teachers a thing a two however. Because of his poor grades, his lack of faith in the monastries god, and his over-all unpopularity, Seth was kicked out of the monastry at the age of 17 human years. Seth knew of his heritage, and knew he had supurb abilities if he could only be taught to use them. Seth often pondered about the creation of the universe, and the existance of a greater being. He knew the monastries teachings of god were wrong, what god would punish him like this? What god would condemn all races but humans? No god worth worshipping! Seth decided to seek out his own race so they could teach him the magic of Drows. He believed if he became strong enough, he could reach the Shrine of Tarrb, which was guarded by many fabled demi-gods. If he could reach the Shrine of Tarrb, all would be revealed. He hijacked a cargo ship and reached the Continent of the Drows. Over a period of 2 years, Seth learned various Drow abilities. He finally set off to find the Shrine of Tarrb. He never found it after 2 years, and now he just wanders aimlessly.
Sorry about the long bio! XD
-
Long bios are good!
MotD: A totally independent quest alongside the rest of the RP should add a whole new dimension to the story. Good idea!
Cesque: If you can't make the start of the chapter, don't worry. We'll say Cheetah overslept and Scorch is chained up anyway (heh...)
Chapter 2 will begin this Saturday. (I'll just re-open the original topic. No need for a new one.)
You're referring to more than one. You need here're or "here are".
*Bans KSNiloc*
Heh...
-
LOL! It's a shame that nobody will meet Gyulim till Chapter 3...what a pity. I'd like to see how Draven reacts when he sees an Aritan girl on Romme Island, lol. Of course, it'll be bad enough when Shin Yong Tsing and Draven cross paths.
-
Chapter 2 will begin this Saturday. (I'll just re-open the original topic. No need for a new one.)
Well I think you should make a new topic, it's just you know...SO MANY PAGES! OH SO MANY! But I'm not sure if just one man's opinion will change that, so....Help me out here guys!
-
I think it is best to have it on the same topic as Chapter 1.
-
:angry: Gr you!
-
<span style='color:green'>I agree with you Dudeman...it will get confusing for most.</span>
-
Very Happy DeGr you!
-
New topic. Seriously, new topic!
-
Yes 3 to 2. Majoity is with us! Come on people, help me and Zeros' and Mark win!
-
Dude, not "Mark"; MotD
-
I agree with Dudeman, MotD, and Zeros'. Very Happy
-
YAY, 4 to 2! 2:1 ratio, Xorlak. NEW TOPIC!
-
*Despot vetos all* -- Same topic it is! (Heh...)
Why do you want a new topic anyway? All you have to do is click on the last page. Plus we have a sort of record going-- 12 pages or so all on the same subject (as opposed to most topics which deteriorate after half a page or so).
-
It just seems as if it'd be more organized in a different topic.
-
<span style='color:purple'>Yep.</span>
-
Uh Huh...
-
Cesque: If you can't make the start of the chapter, don't worry. We'll say Cheetah overslept and Scorch is chained up anyway (heh...)
All right. B)
(I should be back in about a week for real... or maybe no, who knows.)

Description:an average duple (a small person with a large head full of hair (grass) and skin that iz smooth like a baby's butt)
Bio: Dippy is a hero amunkst duples he found the book of power in an abandened chaple wen he runs away from his home village becase he got his brother in trouble he also has unknown powers and stoff...suff..STUFF
-
Umm, Dippy, that's not so creative, methinks. Sorry.
-
Why? :huh:
It an origable.er..original cereture?
-
...good point.
-
The RP is going to open today, yay! Let's just hope Xorlak has enough intel to open it up in a different topic >_>
-
It is! Bodatious! Excellent! Bosinova! Very Happy
-
I can still add more characters right?
Here's a female.
______________________________________________________________________
Name: Nevina Seev
Gender: Female
Race: Jin Elf (A race I made up. She's the last of the species. They have a milienium long life span and never get old looking. They tend to be very proficient in White Magic.)
Age: 178 human years (Still very beautiful, Jin Elves stop aging at 17-23 human years)
Job: Jin Knight (A Lightly armored warrior who is proficiant in Curative/Holy magicks)
Weapon(s): A scimitar (The curved, arabic sword) and a Holy Dirk (A dagger)
Alliance: Independant, for now..
Description: A Staggeringly beautiful Jin Elf. She is about 5 foot 6 inches and weighs about 102 pounds. She has Long, straight, Ocean Blue hair (Natural. Jins have odd hair colors). Her hair is about a foot past her shoulders and almost covers her eligant Elven Ears. Her Eyes are Silvery and beautiful, yet slightly creepy. Her skin is soft and has a light tan. She wears a white, tightly fitted tunic with no sleeves. On her neck she wears a silver chain with an odd looking pendant hanging from it. She wears a blue skirt that goes a little past her knees and from her waist hangs a bit of Red cloth with a golden crest in it. Under her skirt a the Holy Dirk is tied to her leg. She wears wooden sandals on her feet.
Personality-wise, Nevina is very kind and consiterate. She hates injustice. She doesn't like to be under-estimimated just because she's a woman. She doesn't talk a lot unless she needs to, and she forgives people easily, if she feels they really are deserving of forgiveness, and holds very few grudges. A lot of times she likes to be left alone.
Bio: The Jin Elves lived on the Island even before the Romme Empire occupied it. The Jin Elves battled the Romme Empire when they found the Island, a very long time ago. The Jin Elves lost the Battle due to lack of man-power and shortage of resources.
Nevina was a warrior at the time of the war, and was a Well-Respected Commander. She was argueably the best warrior in the Jin Empire. She slew many Rommes in her days of service.
She holds no Grudges against the Rommes, as the 150 years of time has healed her emotional wounds. After the war, very few Jins were alive, and all of them with the exception of Nevina and two of the Jin elders were alive after a Plague brought over by the Rommes swept the Jin race. Even though the Jins are great white magicians, they did not know how to combat this plague. The Elders died about 60 years ago and since then, Nevina has lived alone. She did occasionally visit the Romme Villages, but kept to herself in the half-Ruined Jin Palace mostly, training her magic and physical prowess.
The Palace is to the far West of the island. The east wing is in ruins from time and battle, but The rest is intact and mostly good condition. The palace is made of Marble and closely resembles Arabic Palaces.
______________________________________________________________________
Sound good? I was hoping to shatter a few sterotypes there. ^^;
-
Whoa, judgeing by her discription she seems pretty hot! Wouldn't mind seeing her around! I can just totally tell what's going to end up with her Laughing ! Heh....
-
Heh, she might end up going with Seth, Seth could use a woman, he has.. issues a woman could probably help him sort out. (Seth is like me in a sense..) But I didn't make her specifically to fall in love with Seth. The fact that they are both Elves just comes from how much I love playing as Elves; not the stupid midgets in green costumes elves like Santas, I mean the fantasy Genre type of Elf. She's female because the game only has 1 female.. 2 if you count Zeros' Qeni character.
heh.
-
Yeah I think I'll make a feamale charactor. Now! Because Gedi will now not be doing much since he is guarding Iduran and sleeping and not doing anything, so he will now temperaly be an NPC. Hmmm....now what should I do, I was thinking of baseing her on my ex g/f and have her be evil, but I'd rather not have to type her name down, or have to think about her.... Sad .....So I'll just make some random babe!
Name: Kathrine Kuffmen
Gender: Feamale
Race: Humen
Age: 25
Job: Warrior
Weapon(s): Hunting Knive x2, Bow,
Alliance: Resistance
Description: She has dark blone hair, she is about 5 ft 5 inch. She wears a skirt that goes just above her knees and has a blueish brown shirt, along with some light weight armor covering her torso. She likes traveling, and fighting. She has to do alot of men's work because her father is old, weak, and lazy.
Bio: She lives at a small farm, with her father. When she was 6 years old, her mother went outside oneday and disappeared. She was very sad about that, and will never forget her. After the Dark Empire kept attacking her town so many times, she decieded to join a resitance. The resitance fended off many attacks, so the Dark Empire left them alone. She was trained by a resistance fighter, and she became very skilled at combat, however that resistance fighter died, because he was stabed in the neck by a Dark Warrior. She hates the Dark Empire and hopes that they will die! But she's angry not stupid, so there is no way she's going to try and do that by herself!
-
I thought Gedi was with Cheetah and the crippled soldier; gone off to find the Dragon of Oz or whatever. o.o
-
Name:Raven
Gender:Male
Race:Scare Crow
Age:N/A
Job:Scare Crow
Weapon(s): Flame thrower
Alliance: Neutrule
Description: a large Scare Crow That is stuck with knives and spears and has no problem keeping a strate face when torching inocent people alive
Bio: when a pack of savidges attacked his farm he saw them burn the farmers and eat them. later a cerimonie done by the savidges near by he was given life and lived the only way he knew.
(Dudman healped withe speli'n)
-
Intersting lot we have coming up (heh...)
DM: Is Kathrine from a different country? I ask because this is the very first time Romme has been attacked, let alone heard of the Dark Empire.
-
Yes, the same contry Duilin was from, I supose, same village when it was attacked, and Duilin was forced to join the Dark Empire. Yeah...The conrty will be called.........Stoofenhimeer...no....umm....You come up with a name for it...
-
Okay, Kathrine won't appear untill I kill off one of my charactors...I like doing that. But just in cass your wondering, I'm NOT killing off Nex! Heh....probally everyone knows who will die, but don't guess, you will see....
-
New Rules
- No more unbounded instant teleportation
I'm sorry to set new rules up in the middle of the RP, but I think this is necessary. Haraldur, you weren't doing anything wrong with your teleportation; I should have specified this earlier. Really though, phasing in and out in front of Iduran three times before the poor old guy could open his mouth was a bit too much (heh...)
We have a good amount of characters this time around. Characters in an RP like this inevitably break up into a number of small groups, each with their individual goals. But if anyone can instantly appear in front of anyone, this grouping is shattered and things like escaping from battle are impossible. It isn't neccessary for one guy to take place in every battle.
Another important aspect of any type of quest is travel. Interesting things inevitably happen on the way from point A to point B. But if you can instantly appear in front of the last boss' door... well, that's no fun...
I'm not nullifing teleportation altogether. Just keep it short-range and for emergency use only.
One more minor point:
- No lame spells!
What is a lame spell? (Yes, I'm picking on Haraldur again. Other people have done this, but he's staff so he can take it, heh...)
Lame: "Brash casted a spell on the wraiths that made them weaker."
Not lame: "Brash cupped his hands, causing a point of white light to form in between, which grew to the size of a baseball. He then threw this in between the wraiths where it exploded, blinding them for a few seconds, and since they were shadow elementals, lowered the effectiveness of their magic."
Yes, that's probably way too many commas, but it's the description that's important. One more:
Lame: "Vance casted a spell on Darius that made him stronger."
Not lame: "Vance outstretched his hand toward Darius, who immediately felt a surge of energy as a red aura surounded him. All of his attributes had increased in effectiveness by 10% (DA2's Omega Fist!)"
Basically, focus on the description. It's hard to visualize what is going on by just reading text, but a good description helps.
-
(Yes, I'm picking on Haraldur again. Other people have done this, but he's staff so he can take it, heh...)
Ah, the penalities of success... Razz
What if it is an invisibility spell, or a spell that is supposed to be unnoticeable? Or maybe I should do something like "Something made Zeros' feel stronger", or "Haraldur disappeared from sight"?
-
I say it should be like a ghost thing. When your invisable you also can't harm or pick up anything...That would be fair. And I said on the RP. I say there should be a limit of one super duper charactor to one person...Because I was the only one playing fair, like Duilin was a normal person, but then everybody made INSANE charactors, so I made Nex....*hmph* Anyone who complains, I'll auto maically teleport Nex, and I'll turn invisble and use a super duper attack and destroy them! Laughing Razz Very Happy
-
Neither Seth or Nevina are uber-strong. Seth needed Duilins help just to kill a Scourge. =/
Nevina hasn't even hit anything yet so she isn't uber-strong either. She's just a really cool Elf-Woman. Very Happy
Anyways, I think the teleportation limitation is fair. I just wonder how Duilin and Seth are going to find a dragon when Seth doesn't even know the way to the Romme Castle (and confidentially neither do I.. Sad ) . XD
Now.. to decide what the shadowy figure is.. =/
uhmm.... *wonders off into the dark while mumbling*
-
Zeros' is sorta super strong.
Zev isnt super strong...and Qeni just had healing powers.
-
Yeah I just need a super strong person, because I want Nex to last awile. It's also to make up for y other two weaklings. Well Duilin isn't weak, but he's weaker then most, like he got knocked out by one single hit from one of Draven's weakest attacks, and if he fought against, Draven, Zeros', Shin, Haradular or Nex then he would die, no contest *even though he would only have to fight Draven and Nex*
Here is what would happen
Duilin uses fire ball of death
//put strong guy's name here// dodges fire ball of death
Duilin is tired out and tries to hit him with mace
//put strong guy's name here// dodges mace and swings uber blade at Duilin's neck
Duilin's head gets cut off
Please don't hunt down and kill Duilin
-
What if it is an invisibility spell, or a spell that is supposed to be unnoticeable? Or maybe I should do something like "Something made Zeros' feel stronger", or "Haraldur disappeared from sight"?
Really, anything goes as long as its fair. Cesque had Scorch turn invisible in chapter 1, but he became partially visible whenever he casted another spell. Basically I'm looking for a little more detail.
I say there should be a limit of one super duper charactor to one person...
Belive it or not, I never intended the RP to be about fighting. It's really the weaker characters (battle-wise) that make the story interesting and more enjoyable to read. Instead of blasting their way through, they have to strategize and go on side quests, etc.
-
Like Qeni and Zev...they just children.
-
Yeah, well I'm hopeing that my charactor Duilin will be kida like the hero dude, since he's the one on the mayjor quest. But he's more like Frodo in LotR and Steh is Sam...he...maybe we will add a little weird courpuded dude to guide us to the cave!
EDIT: Holy crap! I jus relaized how much this is like Lord Of The Rings. Okay, at first there is a big group (The Fellowship) and then Scorch is lost fighting against Draven (Gandolf is lost fighing the deamon) and now it's up to Duilin and Seth to find out what the sword is about (Frodo and Sam to throw the ring in the fires of mount doom)
Eeeak! Talk about a conicidence.....or is it....
I hope I didn't ruin the story for everyone....Sad
-
Except some people have arrived to make things more interesting and confusing. *cough*
-
Like........YOU? or somebody else...well....you have made things abit confuseing for us...with the storms and the warping all over the place before we can even blink, like before people even had a chance to reply, you were allready at the other edge of the world.
Thank god for the new rules! Laughing
-
I mean the plot has become more interesting. It is less straightforward. It is less predictable.
-
Hey, Xorlak, since you brought up the Western General, Jayce, do you mind if I use him as a third character?
-
Actually yes, he's mine.
If you thought Draven was bad... (heh...)
-
I don't think u registered him as a character, though <_<
-
He didn't, he is proabally just going to be an NPC.
-
Not cool...
-
Totaly bogus....But maybe he will make him his third charactor
-
Maybe...
I'm thinking about making a third character, but I can barely keep up with two right now.
-
He might make it in later on, or perhaps in chapter 3.
-
A new character:
Name: Haraldur Gunnar Olafsson
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 16
Job: A member of Haraldur Gunnar Hilmarsson's special elite unit of berserkers and shapeshifters
Weapon: A sword very similar to his commander's, just slightly not so good.
Alliance: Víkingagarđ
Description: 198 metres tall and muscly, with long blonde hair and the beginnings of a beard, and blue eyes. Has no scars at all.
Biography: Named after the prince by his parents, a member of the elite unit and a maid at the quarters of the unit, Haraldur Gunnar Olafsson has just recently joined the unit. He has been seen to have great potential, and is thought to have the ability to become almost as good as the prince. The prince himself favours him above any other warrior in the land, despite his young age. He has known the prince since the age of 8. They declared themselves blood brothers.
-
New rules/limitations
Just some minor things, to make everything a bit more fair.
Actions Each character is limited to two "actions" per post (or three on rare occasions). An action is something your character does. Some examples:
- Attacking another character
- Defending an attack
- Preparing an attack (i.e. for bigger than normal spells)
- Starting to walk/run/fly from one place to another
- Arriving on the scene
- Picking up an item
... etc. Basically use your own judgment. Conversation with other characters doesn't count.
Travel Try and be realistic in the amount of time it takes to get to one place from another. You should never leave one area and arrive in the next in the same post. Places that are farther away should take more posts to get there. I'm not going to spell out the distances between each place we've been to so far, so use your own judgment.
Don't worry if you've broken these rules up to this point. This is a work in progress and things like this help us get a complete, solid set of rules in the end. It's been an awesome RP so far!
-
Yeah it has! And I'll be sure not to break these rules! Very Happy
Oh yeah so the big fire ball of death attack that Duilin dose will be one of them chargeing ones. But not the smaller ones that Nex is able to do.
-
Hmm...sorry about the whole village thing. I thought it was a couple hundred yards away (I can run 700 yards in about 5 minutes, if its a flat surface)
-
Meh it's all good dude, it's, all, good! Very Happy
-
That's fine. I never made it clear how close it was anyway.
-
Well you should of! Bad Xorlak! Laughing
Just kiddin..
-
Let's just say it's 10 miles, or so.... <_<
-
I've received an inquiry about ending chapter 2 and was wondering what everyone else thinks. It's about as long as chapter 1 right now, but there's twice as many people this time around and the action is going pretty strong (whereas I ended chapter 1 in order to get more people to join).
Also, I'm going out of town on the 7th for a week. It might be a good time to end it then, if we decide to (unless you can all play fair without me, heh...). I can go either way, so you people get a democratic vote:
1. End chapter 2 on the 6th (wrap up all battles, have people more or less "settle in for the night" like the end of chapter 1), take a week or so off.
2. Keep going; don't disrupt the flow! (And I'll trust you guys not to turn it into a story about aliens or something wierd while I'm gone, heh...)
-
Hmm... Personaly, I trust option 1 more...
-
I agree with Cesque.
-
Me three!
Option 1! It's a good time to end, because Nex died! And then I can introduce Kathrine in the next chapter. And maybe even introduce a new villian! Or bring one back....or not!
-
I think I agree with vote 1. Not because I don't think we can play fair with you gone, but because without Draven, there won't be much to do but look for the dragon or kill each other.. heh
-
Sure we can end it.
-
Yeah but the big question is how many chapters will we have in total? I say no more then 5, but we have 5 then it has to be 10.
-
Okay, chapter 2 ends on August 6th!
We don't need a fixed number of chapters. I have a basic story in mind that has an end, but a lot of interesting side stories have been introduced and we may never even get that far (taking a different path instead). Basically, we'll play it by ear.
-
Interesting. May you open up chapter 3 sign ups soon, because I just got wonder full ideas of 2 new charactors, that I want to last for awile. And I'm ditching all my other charactors that I made except for Duilin, let's just forget about Kathrine.
My new charactors I probally won't be killing off because I think I've killed off more then enough charactors. Let's see...
Patrick
Gedi
Darion
Nex
That's four, but if you think of it that's alot! That's one less then the number of people who die in one second!
Anyways, it's okay if I keep Nex and Darion in Duilin's flashbacks right?
I also have some cool idea's for what could happen in chapter 3!
-
I'll probably open signups after I get back (after the 14th or so).
The fashbacks are fine. You can have as many characters as you want in flashbacks since they're more like NPCs.
-
I have my own ideas for the story direction... Razz
-
Don't we all! Razz
-
You killed Gedi, Duilin? I never noticed how and when he died... But I noticed he's no longer here. Laughing
"Oh my God, you killed Gedi, you bastards!"
I have my own ideas for the story direction... Razz
Yeah. We should call third part "Viking Legends".
I also have some cool idea's for what could happen in chapter 3!
Duilin will die? Wink
I have a basic story in mind that has an end
Yes, it'll come out Scorch is Draven's son, Draven was once general of Romme but he turned on dark side and will want Scorch to join him and reign in Dark Empire, but Scorch with bounty hunter Duilin and princess Nevina will raid the capital planet of Dark Empire, then the Emperor himself will fight with Scorch but Draven will kill him to defend his son, but will be wounded and will die in combat, then Duilin will marry Nevina...
Wait a second... Lucas already did it!
-
Duilin will die? Wink
You wish. I don't think he will die, ever, He will live untill the end, my friend!
Yes, it'll come out Scorch is Draven's son, Draven was once general of Romme but he turned on dark side and will want Scorch to join him and reign in Dark Empire, but Scorch with bounty hunter Duilin and princess Nevina will raid the capital planet of Dark Empire, then the Emperor himself will fight with Scorch but Draven will kill him to defend his son, but will be wounded and will die in combat, then Duilin will marry Nevina...
Wait a second... Lucas already did it!
I like that last part!
-
Too bad I cant make another character (even though Qeni and Zev usually act as one character), cause I had a cool idea for another person, but it won't happen.
Oh well. *uses Jedi Mind Trick on Xorlak* You will let me create another character...muhahha.
-
Controlling too much characters suck, trust me. I will propably go with Scorch and Cheetah only in 3rd chapter.
-
Yeah I agree, but my 2 new charactors will always stick together!
-
Sigilus might make a return appearance in Chapter 3. I know everyone is going to say "he drowned!" No, he just drifted away with the current, unconscious. I have plans on how his character is going to change in many ways, and I think he might scrap his alias AND his love for martial arts. I won't tell you anything about what he will do instead, but let's just say that it will be good, and more of his past will be made known, especially to him.
And Shin, well, his loyalty to Gyulim is gone; he has a thing for Nevina now (as I'm sure you guys have noticed).
As for Gyulim...she's pretty shallow, and I have no ideas as to how to carry her throughout chapter three just yet <_<
-
You said Sigilius "Sank itno the depths, never to be heard from again" so returning him would make you a liar Razz
"Hey look, Sigilius' not dead."
-
Silgus is comeing back. Well then we need to have him and Duilin have a small battle because Duilin wanted to kill him because Silgus destroyed his mace. Yeah I know Duilin is evil, but he is a good guy, but probally not as evil as Scorch. Neerg...now I wish I didn't kill of Darion <_< ....
-
Why am I evil? :rolleyes: I'm at the good side Razz
Hmm... and what did Sigilius do to Scorch? I can't really remember... but I remember what I send him into the depths. ^_^
-
Sigilus was serving as a hired Mercenary for the Dark Empire at the time, so that's what he did to you, lol.
-
Scorch is still evil, he is evil minded, but he is on the good side!
I don't think Sigilius should be a good guy. WE HAVE WAY TO MANY FREEAKING GOOD GUYS! We need more baddies people! Me and Xorlak were the only ones who had bad guys in Chapter 2. I think...
-
Zeros' doesn't have a side, he just takes the side of whoever looks better for winning.
-
Zeros' is helping the good guys. There for he is on the good guy's side! Razz
-
And Shin, well, his loyalty to Gyulim is gone; he has a thing for Nevina now (as I'm sure you guys have noticed).
Doesn't everybody? XD
I've discovered I'm not the only pervert in this RP.. heh. A note about Nevina though, she's just enjoying the attention, and though she seems arosed by some of the male characters, there is a reason for that other than the fact that I'm a sicko. (Yep, there's actually a thought-out reason for this..) It's just Nevina hasn't.. 'been with' a man in over a century (As you know she's nearly 200 years old..) So yeah, there is a method to that.. XD
Anyways, I have a new character in devolepment as well. He's a 'baddie' named Kell. a Ragash summoned onto this plane of existance by the dark empire.. eh, I'm not going to go into detail right now but, that should give you a bit of an idea.
I'm also hoping to give Seth more of a defined role in the RP as well. So far he's been, as Dude Man has said, like Sam from LotR. Just a support, wouldn't really be missed teribbly bad if he died.. I also hope to give Nevina a bigger role than just eye candy as well.. :rolleyes:
-
Doesn't everybody? XD
Scorch would never think of hitting anything which trances instead of sleeping, and in addition is older even that his long dead grandmother.
"You know, I tranced with that elven chick last night."
LoL.
Zeros' is helping the good guys. There for he is on the good guy's side! Razz
Just you wait for that trecherous telepathic demon scum to betray us.
-
Your probally right, most likey one of the though charactors like Scorch or Shin will kill Zeros' if he dose.
-
Hahaha! That wouldn't be too hard. Shin can just form an ice sword out of nothing and impale Zeros no problem. And when impaled, he'll be a popsicle.
-
If just an ability to create something deadly would give you ability to kill anyone else in this RPG, you would all be wiped out by Scorch's lightning storms, hurricanes and thunder rages.
Also, Scorch used electric blade at time, for which your blade is no match.
-
Stop competing about whos character is the strongest will yeh? They should all be equal and fairly well balanced. An example is my character, Seth.
Pros:
He can summon any element
He can use mind tricks through telepathy
He is extremely agile due to his Monk training and light armor proficiency.
Cons:
He must use verbal and somatic components to summon elements, making casting take longer. (Which it seems few characters do)
He can not fly/levitate
He has light armor and a low constitution, so if he were dealt a blow, it could very well put him out of commission with EASE.
Another example of a well-rounded character is Dude Man's Duilin Character.
Pros:
Has a high constitution allowing him to take several blows before going down.
He is proficient with many weapons
Cons:
Cannot fly or teleport
Has low magical power and is fatiqued after using a magical attack.
Some of the characters I see are more like this (No names):
Pros:
Can Fly.
Can Summon a particular element in a split second
Wears heavy armor yet moves easily
Can Warp from place to place at his leisure (Thanks to Xorlak for stopping this)
Greater than most other characters in both combat AND magic.
Cons:
Not much
See what I mean? We're not competing over anything; we're not 5 year olds trying to create the best super Hero/villian, so just stop it if you will.. I'm not Xorlak, nor can I read minds, but I think he meant for all characters to be pretty much equal- no one character be more important than the others.. =P
-
You want cons from Shin? Sure, here goes:
He can still be wounded as he IS mortal.
He has no armor; instead wears robes, making it easier to land a successful blow on him.
His character is easily moved on the emotional side (so you threaten Gyulim, you own him)
-
Yeah Cyber Wolf is right, there are only like 5 acually fair charactors. Well a few of the god like charactors are fair, I think Scorch is abit, he dosen't wear armor. And Shin, just proved by MotD.
My charactor is not weak. In fact if he faught anyone of you *and I mean YOU not your charactor* you would get your ass kicked so fast that you would faint before you feal any pain. Okay maybe that's abit farefectched but you get the idea. He's strong compared to real people but weak compared to your limitless people.
-
He can still be wounded.
Whoah. Thank you for not making a demigod immortal character. :rolleyes:

Hmm... Scorch can fly, but he's an air mage.
Scorch uses vocal commands to use spells.
He only wears a robe, which now after all he survived looks like total rag.
He could teleport, but now I don't use it. It's more fun to walk or fly.
Scorch sucks at combat, now he doesn't even have staff.
And as it comes out, main unfair character is Draven himself. Razz And Haraldur's characters, obviously. And Haraldur himself. Controling NPCs and sending army of trolls to virtually change everything all fought for in chapter 1 in few posts are a bit different things.
The point I notice is that it's not really a big difference. Duilin is a typical soldier like an NPCs, and tons of soldiers like him died during the course of his RPG, yet he seems to survive more than a high-ranking air wizard or an old experienced Romme knight!
-
Don't worry, the elder Haraldur's biggest weakness gets revealed in Chapter 3... Can you guess what it is?
-
Anemia? Asthma? Arachnophobia? Attention deficite disorder? Coffee addiction? Impotency?
I know, I know! He has no legs!
-
Not exaclty that sort of weakness...
-
Hmm... Weakness? Alcohol? Women?
-
Whatever. You will never get it.

Yeah that dosen't make much sence, your right about that.
It also dosen't make sence in martial arts movies how one guy is able to beat a bunch of people because the bad guy's take turns on fighting him, instead of just dog pileing the guy and and ripping his head off. It also dosen't make sence that Hercules has the strenght of 10 regular men, how come 11 guys never just team up and kick the guy's ass?
But let's say the soilders we have faught so far all sucked because I'm probally going to have Duilin get his ass kicked by a few guys.
-

Ha! You're sort of wrong. The ancient sayings says, Nec Hercules contra plures - not even Hercules against large number (of enemies).
-
And as it comes out, main unfair character is Draven himself. Razz
Hey, now! Draven has plenty of weaknesses, just not many in the area of direct combat. But combat isn't everything...
-
Everyone hates me now...
And Zeros' wears a jacket (look at avatar) so he can move fast. I might reveil some of his other weaknesses later on, since everyone knows about Qeni and Zev being his main weakness.
-
Hmm, Scorch should look like something like that, now:
(http://http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-5/734498/scorch.gif)
And his main weakness is his physical one in direct combat, generally. He's also a bit nervous and easily get's angry even at his allies, as you may have noticed.
-
Hmmm....Yes I supose everyone's charactor would accually be fair now. It's just some are weaker then others. Duilin is just a tough ex-darke empire soilder so that's why he's weak compared to others. It's just because to many people now magic. Iduran and....That's it. But my 2 new charactors won't know any magic, there just going to have good weapons and such....well one will.
-
I think I wont know majiklative moves and .....Ner... Very Happy
raven didn't know majik but he diyed Sad
-
Hmm, Cheetah also doesn't know magic (other than transformation!) Razz
2 new characters, hmm... cool. Laughing I don't like controlling more than 2 characters, and I don't really feel like killing off poor Scorch or Cheetah... but, who knows... If I'll ever make any new character, it will be on the side of Dark Empire, he he he. I guess.
Dippy, remind me to send you an english grammar book for next birthday.
-

Naw, I've goofed up plenty myself. And have you noticed how Seth isn't acting like his bio says he would? I've done a piss-poor job piloting him.. =/
-

Give it to him in his trick or treat bag.
Freaky, born on Halloween freak.... <_< , I swear to god something is wrong with that kid. Werid, little brother of mine....weeeeeeeerid.... -_-
-
Yeah. Same. If I ever make another character, hes gonna be on the side of the Dark Empire.
-
When's chapter 3 starting?
-
Yeah, he said it was starting around the era of his return.....Hmmm....
-
Yeah..that what I want to know.
-
When's chapter 3 starting?
Signups/rules will be up at the end of the week, at the latest. By the way, does anyone want to do the summary for chapter 2? I don't really feel like it (heh...). It should basically be the same format as the one I did for chapter 1.
-
I'll pass on that 0_o;;
That's a lot of content that has to be covered, man!
Maybe Cesque wants to do it, lol.
-
Summary... uh... No thanks, I'm not best at this Smile
-
'Bout Zeros? Galaton? Cyber Wolf?
-
Galaton will! Galaton will!
And don't worry I have a spell checker in MS Word. I'll send to you Xorlak when I'm done, it would be best if I gave it to you in E-Mail, so I'll need that.
-
Uhhhh....Better make that Galaton will do it if nobody else wants to... :rolleyes:
-
I will.. If no one else will. XD
If DM gives up on it, I'll do it. Hell, it's a fairly big chapter, if he needs me to, I can do half of it.
-
Well maybe we all could work on it.
And Cyber Wolf, I'm not called DM, I'm Dude Man. Dandy Mashner or whatever his name is, is DM, he is the offical DM, Even though I was in the community longer then him, he was given it because I didn't want it.
There's a useless story for ya eh? Wink
-
Dandy Masher... sounds like Dishwasher or Potato Smasher...
-
I think it's Danny Mashner, or Dandy Mashner, or Danny Masher, or Dandy Masher, or Mandy Dasher?
-
Well it's the inintals for a lot of things.. Dungeon Master, Dookie Muncher, Doom Mania, Dandy Mushrooms, Danny Mohawk.. I'm getting tired now.. Anyways, his name is Dandy Masher. Masher of what..? We'll never know.. Potatoes..? Mashed Taters everybudzy! *hic.
-
Okay so now that we have that sorted out, how is going to write the summery for Chapter 2? Anybody? Anybody at all?
-
Someone could do a quick draft and post it here, and the rest can add/edit things as they see fit.
-
I'll do it...tomorrow...probably...
-
That really is alot of crap to cover...I could do it...but Im busy right know, my dads dying and he was just transported to a Hospice (basically, where they take you to get comfortable and die), but I can include this though...
What I think the most memorable moment is...When Zeros' kills Nex to resuce Qeni and then they bury Nex.
-
And before, I was thinking about writing a fanfiction (a written story about a game by fans) using all the stuff weve written, but customizing it so it seems like 1 person wrote it, but actually we all did. Good idea?
-
my dads dying and he was just transported to a Hospice (basically, where they take you to get comfortable and die)
Ohh.. That's what hospice is.. My Grandpa was on that a week ago but I didn't know what Hospice meant. He died on Friday the Thirteenth, same hospital room my other grandpa died in too..
Sorry to hear about your Dad man.. Must suck. ;_;
Hope they don't treat him like they did my Grandpa when he was on Hospice. They wouldn't leave him alone. Kept taking Blood from him even though they knew he was gonna die and bloodwork wouldn't help anything, and they didn't want to feed him. o.o
Anyways, it shouldn't be like that, The Good Hope in Erwin is just (Editor: Censored)ed up and has incompitatant staff, don't worry about your dad being treated that way.
Anyways, like I said, I'll do the summary if no one else has the time. I have plenty of time on me hands.
-
My mom stays there with has been there with him, so...yeah. Ive been out of school since Tuesday, which means ive only gone to school 1 day this week, which isn't so bad, but it sucks I have to see my dad like he is...I just wish he'd die (NOT in a bad way, but its just because he can't get any better, and only worse, so i'd be better for him to die). He's gonna be buried in Connetict (SP?) by his mother, but don't fret 'bout it.
-
I decided that I will do a re-weite of every page (each page will be 1 chapter, so currently I can make 27 chapters) and make it seem more story like. Ill post each new page Ive translated into story on this forum to see what yall think, thats if Xorlak doesn't mind, which he probably won't, but you never know...heh.
-
Hoping your father will die? Weird. I hope my granpa will die, but that's a bit other story... he's a burden and dictator of the family.
I see no point why you began your rewrite mania, Zeros. Xorlak already had DA legends, chapter 1 gathered on a page somewhere on his site (he could give you link).
-
Oh well...I need something to keep me busy...

I sort of prefer the RP format, with each person's contribution attributed to him.
-
I really made it for www.fanfiction.net and people who can't follow the RP format that well but still try...and then everyone will be like "Whats Dark age?"

And people will search for some Dark Age sources, find Xorlak's site, download DA1 and order DA2, and Xorlak will make you his salesmanager.
-
Not exactly...

Hey, that's what I would do Very Happy
