Bring it Allistor isn't going down without a fight or until people like him more so when he dies people get heart broken and vow to hunt you down. >.>

I think I'll make Mino an npc for now as well. I simply lack the time to make a decent number of posts at the moment due to school.
Darkblade
Ok, thats fine.
Thanks for telling us.
Spirit_Master_X
Eh...I haven't been posting in a while. My fault guys, I'm still here just...ugh...No worries, I'm still in this thing. I've been busy making my own mixtape and school. But I'm still reading and whatnot so A'Sia and Nobu is still here.
Sparrowsmith
why don't you give Nobu somet to do?

just collaborate with some people and fill us in on what he's been doing, but use other people so any dialogue sounds right.

I'll be honest, I miss him, we never had our big stand off sad.gif
Angelic-Fairy
TaFresh, i dont mean to be like...a ***** but the fact of your deciding someone's reaction in the roleplay is kind of rediculous, it should b up to the person who is posting on how the character reacts....not you,regardless if it is predictable or correct, its not your call.

He simply smiled, then said, " Move, damned broad!" And before she could retaliate, he released a surge of fire by aptly saying, " Fire." This kept her occupied for awhile, and Jimba managed to escape her grasp. "That girl is very unpredictable. Although she is curvacious...." Jmba smiled, then disappeared in the confusion.

She's sorta right, TaFresh. Where it said "This kept her occupied for awhile" it's really up to me whether or not it kept her occupied. A'Sia is very war-hardened, I don't think a simple spell like "Fire" would get on her nerves. But It's cool. Just be careful what you type. Don't worry, I've done this plenty of times in the past too, but I learned from them.

TaFresh
Okay I get what you're saying. I'll try not to do that anymore, but f you see me doing something wrong still, don't be afraid to tell me,
Sparrowsmith
on the other hand we'd have about 4 very short posts and they would of taken a lot longer if you had waited for reactions confused.gif I would recommend that we all set up a skype group for this, that way we can check with people before we post, or PM them over RRR.
I think collaborative posts look better than
'he went to hit her'
'she ducked and threw a fire ball'
'it missed, he went to grab her'
'she avoided and threw a knife at him'
'He grabbed the knife and threw it back'

if there's no measurement of each others actions, no one will let their character get hurt, this nearly happened with me and spirit in the early posts, but in the end we came to the agreement to let each other get hurt (which read really well)

in conclusion, if you involve someone that you haven't had many posts with yet (or even if they're your best mate) double check certain posts with them first.
either way a simple mistake, but it could of been annoying to read the other way. next time just collab. or even collab a bit now, it's not too late is it?
Darkblade
Yeah, we should make some kind of group.
Totally agree.

Theres a lot I'd like to get opinions about, I want to redo magic for example.
And I need to make a lot more towns and world stuff.
Whats already been posted about the world and whatever is kind of vague.

If anyone wants to write up a town or city or whatever, go ahead and post it, even if it doesnt get used, it'll add some more life to the world.
A detailed world is a lively world after all.

Well, if anyone needs to contact me about it, search Messinyx, look for Aaron, thats me.
Spirit_Master_X
I just downloaded skype. My name is SpiritMasterX

I'm now on as MiltonMonday. I'm new to Skype, so bear with me while I figure the thing out. (Plus, my computer doesn't have a microphone, so I'll only be able to use the IM.)

I got Skype to and smae as milton no mircophone and also how do i get up the IM?

I think you right click on one of your contacts and click send im or something like that. Then click on the conversations tab and choose the contact you want to talk to and type a message.

Thank you thank you.

!!!UPDATE!!!
NEW WORLD LOCATION:


Malakai
A small industrial fortress, fit for 20-30 people. Constructed nearly four years ago by the hands of A'Sia and two hired construction workers, Lemm and Reija, who later became lieutenants of what would become Bandit Ops. It was built in the middle of a scrapeyard, 2-3 miles south of Morento. Originally built to shelter local homeless and rogue Morento soldiers.

It is surrounded by a tall barbedwire fence, with the only gate inside being guarded by two heavily armed Bandit Ops soldiers. However, since the disappearance of founder A'Sia and Lemm, the fortress has been on high alert for sudden possible attacks from Xavier, Morento's most powerful sorcerer.

TaFresh
Is it possible for me to suggest a new location too?

Also, what exactly are the more advanced magic spell casting words? I understand it's proably a few sentences, but I want to mak sure I follow one that has already been made, not create one and have a conflict.

The magic I'm talking in particular is more an advanced fire spell
Spirit_Master_X
I don't know too much about magic...good thing I saved this website during the .hack rp lol

Spells

This might help with naming spells.
Milton Monday
We've been keeping magic words vague thus far; rather than the specific words, it's been like 'muttered an incantation' or stuff like that. I think it's better that way; spell incantations are cheesy as hell even when invented by the best fantasy writers.
Darkblade
QUOTE

YES!
Go ahead!
I encourage you to do it!

Even if we dont get around to using every location, you can still mention it like its your characters hometown or whatever.
I mean, the main places so far, are only storyline places, its good to have other places too, it adds life.

EXPECTO PROTRONOM!
Or is it Protronus?
I know I spelt that wrong, but its the only spell in Harry Potter that sounds cool, in and out of the book.
Sparrowsmith
I never got verbal incantations at all tongue.gif

It's not like a warrior shouts 'Lunge!', it gives away his move tongue.gif
but if you really want to, latin is common.
Just type very large fire into a translator, the translator will mess up the word for you tongue.gif

Angelic-Fairy
Oh wow Spirit, Thats epic xD
ive only done that once and it was in 6th grade. lol xD
TaFresh
Alright, then. I'll come up with one soon enough.

One more thng, who wants to do a collab with Jimba (me)?!
Froggy`
I do jeez i been putting Allistor out there for you to attack.
Spirit_Master_X
And you know A'Sia tried to hold Jimba up.
pacomcdohl
I been waiting for the group to leave town since I posted, but people seemed to kep doing business anyway XD
In any case, I am waiting to leave, that's why I haven't posted.

but I got two questions that have poped up now.

1: I am unsure on how we are travelling, small group ( only our characters ) or a large group ( everyone )

2: More of a notice, but when did this medieval fantasy take the turn to fantasy mixed with high tech? I kind of lost in how to put it all in perspective now. Since theres been talk about computers and we still buy horses to travel? Wouldn't we have things like trucks if we have computers? I am kind of stunned in how to piece things together huh.gif

You're right, but I assumed that since we have lifeboats that can both travel in air and on water, then there would be some form of high technology.

Sparrowsmith
It's a world that independently made technology. But there isn't a corporate system in place, meaning business haven't been able to get cars on the market.

Only the government decides what goes and doesn't, so all public travel is run by the country. So almost all travel is public
Darkblade
Its more steampunked to be honest, the airships and lifeboats were a mix of magic and technology.
The lifeboats were only technology however, which explains why it needed to land.
Most other airships used Rune Steel Engines.
Although, those are only the mass produced ones, the Fire Fly may have been more unique, with a much more compex design, it did seem to last much longer in combat for a transport ship.


But yeah, as Sparrowsmith said, its :

It was pretty much the King's choice for who got what.
The airships themselves were only about 100 years old, and the originals were pretty unrefined and couldnt get much altitude, more like gliders too.
Welstarm's military get a private batch of war-Airships and the wealthy public get access to transport airships. *COUGH*costsanarmandaleg!*COUGHT*
It's all imported from Morento smile.gif
Morento isn't as wealthy compared to Welstarm since its always under threat from attack, so a lot of what they have goes into military.
But their best sciencetists decided to find the biggest bandit camps from the air and eliminate them.
And the airship was put into place.
Everyone else gets to travel by foot, horse or boat. Risking their lives against the possiblity they might get killed by Bandits or a Ruined One.

As for guns, I assumed they were Muskets.
Or auto crossbows. Yum!
Darkblade
I'm leaving for a little while.

Can someone take over my characters (Drake and Captain Maxwell if you want to bring him back for a 'visit) for a little while, or just NPC them, please?

If you want a bit of a plot for while I'm away, you can take this route if you want.

A Ruined One attacks the village at dawn.
A Ruined One is basically a huge muscular humanoid beast, very tough leathery skin and incredibly strong.
They go into berserker rages and wont stop attacking until its dead, falls asleep or kills what it wants to kill.
Their movement pattern is unpredictable, which is why airships cost a lot to travel with.
Although, there's only around 50 recorded beasts, so there isn't a huge deal of fear, but then again, only 7 have been killed by groups of over 50 soldiers.
So yeah, perhaps the group could work together to kill one and save the village or flee into the tunnel of tricks.

Anyway, hopefully, I won't be gone too long.
Sorry about this being so sudden.
Sparrowsmith
sounds good
whatever wants us dead may of sent one our way.

Do we have any ideas as to the origins of the ruined ones or:
a) is it a secret
cool.gif we don't know yet, but it is planned
c) we either make it up now, or give our characters pre-programmed rumours

if C then Damien will probably believe they are horrible creatures made by an unknown wizard years ago.

I would like to have another group battle though biggrin.gif
Darkblade
What I wrote for them is pretty much just rumours, so C.

The actual origin itself is clouded in mystery, partly becuase there was a war at the time they began appearing, it was assumed the undead army's leader Uxire the great created them from murdered humans as weapons of war, but lost control of them, the idea that the undead army would lose control of all of them made it hard to beleive too.

Others beleive it that they are the remains of a long sealed race of beings, literally sealed away into the earth by an angel called The Grim Saviour, a hero/heroine created for all races by a race of people called The Winged Ones several thousand years prior, The Grim Saviour is said to have stopped aging when chosen by the previous Grim Saviour (there can only be one at a time, when the power is passed on, the previous has 20 years of life left). However, The Grim Saviour himself is a mere legend, so most things related to him/her are also thrown into the camp fire story catogory.

You can decide on the Ruined One's own back story if you want, I encourage it if you all decide to go with rumours or C.

Anyway, make it epic biggrin.gif
Sparrowsmith
I'm expecting the initial post to be left to either a magic user or Sari. I say Sari cause she's the sixth sense kinda character laugh.gif

of course it could just as easily be that no one notices, and it just attacks someone blink.gif
either way we should make the opening post good. not just
'and he jumped out of the way of a ruined one who had suddenly appeared fromz out of nowher' down.gif

anyway, if we can get a couple people on skype we'll throw some ideas around smile.gif
TaFresh
Can I make an NPC as well?

Full Name: Henrifa Nuestro Kaddaba
Nickname:Henry
Race:Human
Age: 24
Appearance: He's lighter than Jimba to say the least, but darker than most. He's more light brown (light skinned mexican....) and has braided hair. He also has hazel eyes, and a tiger skin pelt on his shoulder.
Job: Barbarian
Weapon: A Spatha and Family Katana
Background: Henri is the leader of one of Jimba's allied clans. Him and Jimba go way back, starting when his clan saved Jimba's from persecution. Henri inheirited the clan's sword (the Katana), the Lo'Ha fro his cousin, as he wasn't supposed to be head, but got it due tohis cousi's death. Henri had a run-in with Xavier before the story, and as such, his clan's recovering.
Personality: Not hot-headed per se, but is more lenient than Jimba. He drinks and smokes a lot. He loves women, even the odd looking ones, to death. Once someone messs with one, he hurts them severely. He's not as quick to kill as Jimba, due to slower reflexes and instincts, but will if provoked, as he follows the same mindset as Jimba.
Life deal spirit name: Odalys
Character Relation: Jimba-Good friends and allies.

I want him to be a MC really, but I want everyone to use him, thus an NPC.

Also, I have an idea for a place.

Eurastus
A barbaric village close to Morento. It was founded by Jimba's people, but has since handed the torch to others. Many clans are based there, and are all allied with each other. The Barbarians have their own trraditions and culture, and train their kids at 4.

Many people journey there to seek extra help, as Barbarians are quick to help...with the right fee, of course. Sitting at the center, is the Eurastus Hall--part city hall, and part home to Jimba.
Spirit_Master_X
Henrifa? lol

Say that name very slowly...Heeen-riiifffaaa like...hens got their own weed...no? anybody? fine =/
Sparrowsmith
hahaha

hen reefers tongue.gif good one.

I think that character sounds alright, just don't leave them out to dry... ahh shit, I haven't posted for Leonard in a while.
Nicsp
Hen reefers...Heh...Well yeah, anyways, >.<

Sorry, i couldn't think of any better way of evacuating anyone quickly xD. I do also have a question, by the way. I've never really gave it much thought, but after seeing Spirit asking about, i kind of started wondering about mine too, how do you like my RPing guys? Anything you think that needs improving?
Sparrowsmith
I really like Oliver's development as a character. Jeeves isn't perfect but he isn't that important. You might want to develop his past life and times spent with Oliver.
Apart from that I don't see much wrong.

The post was fine tongue.gif created a bit too much noise maybe but atleast they're not afraid tongue.gif

I guess now it's up to Spirit or someone to either follow out my plan OR turn to Oliver and say 'so what's the real problem?' laugh.gif

I like this new story ark, and how's my RPing? It has slipped lately I think, rushed posts dry.gif
TaFresh
Yeah, that's something I'd like to know too. I'm still pretty new to this whole thing, so any tips will be fine.
Froggy`
I like oliver. Hes really great and i want him to meet Allistor because they havn't really got to know each other. And the no emotion thing your roleplaying really great but tone down the despising emotion cuase your still roleplaying as if he still has that emotion (Oliver attitude towards Dixie).
Angelic-Fairy
i know right!!! Oliver has it out for Dixie now >.<
or both ways i guess you could say lol

how is my rping ??? >.<

and i ahve another question EVERBODY here has a picture above the [memer] box thing cept me
how the hell do i get that?!
its been botherin' me since i joined the rp
lol
Sparrowsmith
I don't get what you mean tongue.gif

you don't mean a
[Show/Hide] spoiler
text here
do you?

Or are you referring to the [OoC] blink.gif

edit~ foolish me, I know what you mean
an avatar? you upload them from your profile page. Look for avatar
Spirit_Master_X
I like Oliver because he is in turmoil, knowing he came from strict royalty in the beginning. He's like...uhh...Luke or whatever from Tales of the Abyss. Oliver's story is definately starting to interest me.
TaFresh
Wha-What about me???? sad.gif
Sparrowsmith
I think Jimba is an interesting character to say the least, but some of your posts seem slightly rushed. Try keeping the pace a little slower and it's spot on happy.gif Other than pace I'd say you have it down.

RPs don't need perfect writing skills, so no one's going to ask for that tongue.gif
Milton Monday
@TaFresh: You had some issues early on, in both P4 and Alsta, but you've more or less hammered them out, and your characters are pretty interesting. I was wondering who the major source of conflict was going to be with Nobu leaving the main group biggrin.gif .

Basically, some grammatical hiccups aside, everyone's doing A-OK in my book.

Since everyone else is asking, how am I doing? I'm still sort of new to this too, this is my third RP; after P4: Second Case (Which I came into pretty late and can't help but feel that my character is sort of a Scrappy), and The War (Which didn't last very long at all.)
Spirit_Master_X
@Milton: For a dude role-playing a female you're not doing bad at all. I instantly fell in love with Aggie when Nobu assumed she was some assassin, remember that? lol. Like, I'm not trying to sound mean to others, but I like the chemistry between Aggie and Nobu better than everyone else. Still trying to focus on what chemistry Aggie and A'Sia has. Not sure if its like a rivalry or a toleration or what.

@TaFresh: Like I told someone on Skype, forgot who it was, that I was kinda hoping that Jimba would be the new pain in the a** Then again, I didn't think of Nobu as a pain in the a** I always thought of him as the guy who wants to fit in, but its just something about him that makes him offend people. But yeah. the only slip up I saw you do was when you tried to control A'Sia. Other than that, you're doing ok to me man.

Alright, give me the 411. What about me, eh? This is like my one hundredth rp on here...j/k I exaggerated that, but it feels like I've been in that many. Favorite ones were: Persona 3 RP: Another Path or something like that with Yoichi as my character. I have a few regrets in that rp though and I think I destroyed Yoichi's character, taking a turn of events...like I'm doing now with Nobu =/ At gate though, I was doing pretty good with Yoichi until "that" happened <_< Let's see, .hack//sign RP. I FREAKING LOVED THAT RP!!! My character was a very quiet and shy kid named Lyle. You all know that type of kid in class who always gets picked on, and that kid feels so humiliated but he doesn't do anything to defend himself? yeah, thats who he was. But as time passed, he learned that he found friends who really cared about him, therefore giving him the confidence to step to...crap! whats his name? starts an "A" anyway, he basically learned to fight the bully.

There was a point where I wanted to join Mod's Naruto rp. It looked awesome. Everything was original, nothing in it was cannon, so I thought that was great. But school killed me so I didn't really have the time. And now I'm in this rp. What you guys think about Nobu and A'Sia?
