Yes Lord DarkBlade, your wisdom is unchallengeable

But what about ninjas, surely we can't have sky pirates without ocean ninjas

Ninja is way low on my list of things I like.
Not a fan of Ninjas, Lord Darkblade is.
Ocean Ninjas are even lower.
Cause they're in submarines!

If you also want Ninja's you can have a Ninja, just dont... mainstream style it.

Lol mainstream style it

I share your hate, but I simply wish for ocean ninjas to KILL

Thanks DB.

I was thinking of creating a Diagan blacksmith character, and after reading Spirit Master's character bio for Nobu, I thought I could give a minor relation with his character, mainly being that the weapon Nobu stole belonged to him. How does that sound to you, Spirit?

I'll probably sign up and post tomorrow, since I have a paper I need to work on tonight.

That sounds cool to me. Maybe like your character can be the Diagan who always looked after Nobu when he was being teased as well. Like Nobu stole from the only guy who protected him. That'll be awesome.

Full Name: Minosoro Jeffar

Nickname: "Mino" or"Cow Face" as an insult

Race: Diagan

Age: 37

Appearance:

Minosoro often wears no shirt. His only apparent clothing are his cargo-styled pants, cuffed above the knee. His feet are large, bull-like hooves, and he has a cow-like tail sticking through a hole in his pants.

Job: Blacksmith

Weapon: Sledgehammer. He is strong enough to wield it with slightly less effort than an average human being.

Background:
Minosoro "Mino"Jeffar grew up and worked in a rural Diagan village. He was distinguishable amongst the rest of his race due to bull-like features. He earns his living as a blacksmith, and he is considered one of the best in the world. People would come from afar just to receive a tool or a good weapon from Mino. Most people praise Mino for his talents as oppose to his personality, however.
Mino views the world as a dystopia, with the problem being that people rely too much on their emotions rather than reason and synchronizing with nature. Thus he often refuses to show much emotion or care for certain matters, which makes him come off to people as being heartless. Mino can also have a bit of a bad temper, especially in cases where he knows someone is slacking off during work. Deep within his rough exterior, however, he does care for other people, though it shows mostly in dire circumstances.
Mino left his village on a quest to study other weaponry, so that he could expand his sales across the lands. His favorite motto is "The strong will survive, and the weak will perish."

Personality: Quiet, Down-to-earth, Stern, Apathetic and slightly ill-tempered

Character Relation: Nobu Ishimak, a neighbor when Mino lived in the village. Mino was one of the few Diagans who did not tease Nobu for his human-like features, but Mino would never sympathize with him, either. He warned his kind that if Nobu was continued to be treated unequally, that he could possibly turn against the Diagans in the future. One day one of his finest weapons was stolen, and a local Diagan was murdered. When he found out that Nobu was responsible, he was angered that his weapon, which he worked on for several months, was taken from him, but he was not surprised by the action in itself.

Hell yeah! new members! Welcome Homie, Rattie -bows

Thanks for joining in!
Post whenever you're ready.

how does everyone feel about me bringing in another character
kind of an NPC/PC cross, I'll make him have a full story but he has no relation to my character and other people are welcome to use him/her

Airships have gotta have crews right? What if one of the crew shows us the escape thing and he comes with?
Probably shouldn't be thinking about it now, but it may be worth getting any future characters developed early

Yeah, all Airships will have a crew.
So yeah, go ahead and bring a new character in.

I'm thinking I'll call him Leonard Vox,human, he works maintenance on 'The Firefly' despite always wanting to be a pilot. He has applied for the pilot position many times but doesn't have the qualifications, despite having the knowledge. He is in his mid-thirties and has a rough voice, he constantly smokes but more for dramatic effect than anything. He learned how to fly most craft because he was raised on 'The Crucible' (his family catered onboard) and frequently co-pilots would test their revision notes on him.

He knows so much about aircraft that on the day his family retired, he even fixed a fuselage, which got him a 'wonderful job opportunity'
unfortunately in maintenance.
He doesn't like land much at all, his favorite thing to do is climb on top of a low a airship while it is low flying, though he has been suspended for doing this on the firefly many times.

['The Firefly' is one of the few airships running on burning fuels, they are just as high/low tech as other craft,but most prefer to use other methods (some even use magic), it is a public transport vessel but most people ride it for the novelty a fire-based engine gives. 'The Crucible' as mentioned in a previous post, is basically a flying formal party for all the riches and royals of the world. It's one of the few ships Leonard would not like to pilot because it is too big, he prefers smaller craft.]

Hum, I had a question about the binding of spirits for magic, well two actually.

1: Are ALL dead spirits available? Like let say, spell caster, old ancient people, trees and animals?

2: Are you limited two 1 spirit or is it possible for 2 under special circumstances?

Only of the same race as your character.
Even then, the spirit is allowed to refuse joining your character if it feels as though its to powerful or its just stubborn.
The reason they might decide to join is that all the spirits available are stuck on the middle plane of existance, they are a spirit trapped on earth, if they make a deal with a living person and complete it, they are given access to either Heaven or Hell.
Unfortunatly they don't get to choose, and even then, they may prefer staying and watching their loved ones.
So, yes to Spell caster and Old Ancient People.



You lose 20 years of life and die of natural causes for 1 spirit.
For a second spirit, the years are doubled.
So, you could end up dieing as soon as you make deal depending on your age.

So yes, its possible.
BUT!
It won't increase magic power since you will have to switch to a different spirit by calling its name if you have more than one.
Also, you have to consider what your character would actually do, would they want to lose so many years from their life?

I see I see, well that answers my questions more or less

Thanks for joining in
You're lucky to do so now, too!

Joined in right at the time the whole chaotic event was going to happen. You are lucky to do so indeed, angelic.

A new member!!! Hellz yea! Let's go F some shit up!

Oh my, i don't remember getting such attention when i joined. XD
Anyways...YAY I GET TO FORUM RP WITH FAIRY. -glomps her-
I know you're new to forum RPing, so remember you can ask me if you have any doubts. ^^ I'm pretty sure the others here also would be glad to help. So...Let's RP!

... Lol?

Btw, my character hasn't left the city yet, just so that everyone is clear. I was hoping to have him run near the manor, and at that point slow down due to fatigue. That way, since everyone is pretty much inside/near the manor, I could get some character interaction. Any suggestions?

Wherever you can get your character to interact with others then go to that spot. At the moment, it seems like the hot spot in the rp so far is the manor. So I'm like, why not go there? lol.

SORRY, I'm discarding Jester ;___; I don't have a feel for him yet and it's hard to comfortably do anything with him, he's relatively new and undeveloped (Yes, all the characters I RP with are pre-made characters just waiting to be featured in an RP lol)

I tried RPing with this one before but I had to leave RRR for a while after just a couple posts, so I'll try her again

Full Name: Lilium Lorelle

Nickname: --

Race: Human

Age: 20

Appearance:


Job: lol oddball. Unemployed.

Weapon: Packs a punch with her fists. Stronger than she looks and has become talented in incorporating her cuffs into her hits so that she somehow hits with them more than her fists XD

Background: At a young age Lilium made a pact for life with the spirit of a former prisoner imprisoned for committing treason, which immediately made her feared and shunned. Because of this she became very used to isolating herself from and evading people. Lilium mysteriously arrived at Welstarm one day, but has hardly been seen, and has always been the same way with past towns and villages. In previous towns she visited, she was referred to as the "Red lady". Because of the way she arrives and disappears, only letting herself be seen on seldom occasion, she often gets involved in a rumor of being a ghost haunting a certain location. She's often seen in dark and confined spaced, where she seems most comfortable.

Personality: Lilium is a reflection of her life- unstable and disoriented. She's not used to being around people, so she has zero knowledge of etiquette or social grace. She is quite unpredictable and can be awkward to talk to. So, she is quite a social handful She tends to draw people toward her with her odd mannerisms and mysterious behavior, but rarely lets anyone really be close to her or get to know her. She's very protective of herself. She resorts to using magic as little as possible as she tries to hide it, since it was the very thing that shunned her from her friends and family.

Life deal spirit name: Randall

Another mark

This shall make things interesting, you've read the previous posts on magic haven't you?

oh yeah, and welcome to the RP Homu

Heh, The character I'm using is pretty much a first-time as well, though I pretty much brainstormed his personality aloud, so I think I can get used to him.

I always just make my characters as I go

btw guys, Liza is gonna die soon, if you want to use her at all you have like... five posts XD

Thank you =D! I think I got the general gist of magic, I hope :\ What with the whole rest after spell thing and putting energy into it/energy usage? I'll take a re-read through this and the actual RP's pages again just to make sure I'm not missing anything XD My character hates using her magic around people unless she has to though, the trouble it caused her made her kinda weary about using it around people XD

RATTY XD YOUR CHARACTER IS AWESOME LOL He's so badass and awesome to read his posts =D

Thanks xD. Mino pretty much doesn't take anyone's sh*t, and he does whatever he can to save his life before others. He's actually quite selfish that way, but he believes in "survival of the fittest".

aha!
we shall now find out what happens when an immovable object meets an under estimating punk with 4000% his daily dose of sugar and magic

should be fun My character seeks so much attention he has to be in two places at once

Lol, I agree, Mino is kinda badass. I can't wait till Nobu and Mino finally meet face to face. Gonna be so awesome! >=D

Quick question about the pact thing with the spirit. Is there like a connection between the living person and the dead spirit that made the deal? Like can they have some telepathic form of communication with each other or does one just offer magical abilities to the other? I have no idea how this would reveal any importance to the plot/events but could make for just fun character characteristics XD

Mine has a connection with Franklyn

Yeah, there can be a connection, but the spirit doesnt nessercierly have to work well along side the character.
You can have a psychic connection or whatever.

The original idea behind it is there the character could visit a cemetery or tomb and perform a simple ritual that would summon a spirit to speak to your character and then create the pact.
But scrapped it.

awww, my window of posting is closing (sleep time soon) and I've only got two posts in today


need more activity

Uh, well, if you do come up with other ideas, do tell me. I intented to have Oliver form a pact later on, for those of you who hadn't figured that out yet.

I had my suspicions, and I've got my own little rule and that's who you make the pact with

friend = the magic is less twisted and hurts less
stranger = magic is distorted and hurts
enemy = well why would you?

will it be Jeeves?

Uhm...Maybe, and maybe Jeeves is still actually alive, who knows?

alritey then

keep on posting people. I love this story and I'm impatient XD

I'd post something right now, but I think Aggie really needs a good night's sleep. The poor girl's had a bad day, what with the axe crazy beast man, a hard day at work, all that running and those high level spells, and the end of the world and all. I'll let her catch some shut-eye for now and wait until the (in-game) morning.

before I head off for sleep and a grueling day of school I'd just like to say I really like how the characters are developing and how the story line progresses. I think we're on to a winner here

I just hope it's along time till it dies/finishes (preferably the latter)

I've created a new location that might be interesting to travel through:


Tunnel of Tricks (now called Cavern of whispers and lies)
One day, many years and years ago, a naughty young boy visited the Tunnel of Tales, it was so exciting and mysterious, there were so many holes to hide in and it was so large to run around in, the perfect place for games of all kinds!

One day, a group of travelers ventured into the tunnel, they came to a clearing and decided to rest for the night.
While sleeping, the boy decided to whisper into the ear of one of the travelers with such an innocently sweet voice "He looks untrust worthy, I bet he'd put a bug into your food that would kill you on the spot. Yeah, one bite of that and you'd be dead for sure!"
In the morning, one of the travelers companions were dead, a knife and fork in each eyes.
The boy laughed, he never though something like that would actually have any effect on someone.
"That was a very magnificent trick you played right there!" A voice whispered into the troublesome lad's ear.
"But... to be perfectly honest, you could do better!"
"How can I do better tricks!?" the boy asked the voice with extreme curiosity.
"Oh! I do have a brilliant idea, go into this tunnel down here! OH! There's a mirror, at least it looks like a mirror! Now, step into it! Go on, quick, quick! You haven't got all day you silly boy! More travelers will arrive any second for sure." The devilish voice laughed with excitment!
The boy did so, and found he was invisible to the naked eye, which made his tricky much more splendid!
He stepped out of the mirror and laughed until nightful with the voice.
That very night, another pack of travelers arrived in the Tunnel, the boy tested his powers by following the travelers around the tunnels, he whispered to one of the travelers with such an innocently sweet voice "I say, I bet while you're sleeping, your friend will take that secret stash of gold hidden in one of the cracks in the walls, he has that look of deception after all, he'd sell his mother's salt and pepper shakers for two gold coins in a heartbeat."
And like before, the travelers companion was found dead, suffocated by a few gold pieces shoved into his throat.

The boy again laughed with a mischevious glee.
He called out to the voice "Ha, we should plan a trick together, we'd probably kill all of the travelers next time!"
He waited for a response.
It didn't come.
Now worrid, he ran back to the mirror, planning to step inside it again to return to normal.
It was gone.
The boy tried to leave the tunnel and run home, however the sun was so bright, it revealed that he turned into a horrendous goblin, his real form which was only viewable in sunlight. He'd be killed on the spot if anyone saw him.
He was trapped in the tunnels of his rebirth.

From that day forth, the Tunnel of Tricks became known as The Cavern of Whispers and Lies.

Ooo! Thats quite creepy =/ Does that mean one of us will die if we go into the cave? O_O

Not exactly, it's dependant on your characters will.
If your character has very little will compared to others then perhaps they'd want to attempt to carry out the murder.
Thing is, theres no number value for will, so you can just do it to add some drama and to see who's weak minded.

Actually, I might request everyone to add some numbers to your characters for this kind of thing.
But... I dunno...
Would everyone want some number values for Will and Strength?
So its easier to determine who would win and lose fights?
but then it sounds like dungeons and dragons or final fantasy.
Anyway, its up to you all, if you want this kind of thing, I won't mind thinking up some ideas to go with it.

As for death...
I'm going to make sure theres a stock character or two around, made to die or be cursed or whatever.
No one dies unless that want too.

Uhm...I have been wondering...The king is technically "dead" isn't he? So are all the Dukes and most of Royalty...Except for Oliver...
WOULDN'T THAT MEAN OLIVER'S THE FIRST CANDITATE TO BE THE NEW KING?! OMG!

I'm sure that was already established in the RP, hence why I told Mino that you were the most important person in Welstram XD
and then you ordered and evacuation

but yeah, that'll the final page of the RP

'What of our heroes you ask? The land was governed by the gentle and loving king Oliver, Lilium, Damien and Aggie went on to protect the ether from evil, Nobu continued to kill people [Just kidding spirit ] and the rest of em died of ...ummm... cholera'

Yay, les play agen I would of made it bigger but I got bored and couldn't think what the dream position of your characters would be, well Drake could become Oliver's guard, Leonard could fly the crucible, Mino could be the royal forger, I don't really know enough about the other characters sorry

Not so.
The King's son is alive.
It was mentioned in the first post about the king I made.
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....st&p=341445



But, yeah, right now, Oliver is quite important and would have a lot of authority.
Although, if there's no Welstarm, would that really matter to anyone?

Ah, i see then it's only a matter of getting rid of finding the king's son. Oh well. But yeah, you're right, although Oliver would be the biggest authority around at the moment, it's not like he can actually order anyone around since Welstarm is no more.

Full Name: Maxwell Million
Nickname: "Max Cash"
Race: Human
Age: 27
Appearance: A young man, his face is hidden by lockes of long brown hair which his black eyes struggle to be see.
He wears a long black coat with a red trim, multiple pockets are dotted on the coat.
His black shirt, partially hidden behind the coat is worn and has several holes in it.
His brown baggy trousers are dotted with red patches of material sewn on to them, for either fashion or repairs.
Multiple belts appear around the characters thin waist, a red cloth hangs from one of the many hooks on the belt.
Job: Pirate captain
Weapon: Cutlass and rifle (the rifle needs to be reloaded after every 3 shots)
Background: Born in Feldonna, far in the eastern continents, Maxwell started life as a good kid, often helping people with many jobs.
However, he soon got kidnapped and sold in Morento for seven gold coins because of his weak body.
When he was 15 he joined a pirate gang, however, one morning, he found he had been abandoned in and once again sold (He found a receipt in his pocket), tired of being sold for minor gold, he built himself a name by spreading rumours that he had killed hundreds of people with ease. He soon made a crew and ship out of fear and began killing traders and raiding ships, giving him the nickname "Max Cash".
His pirate gang is named Red Gold and his ship Blood Money, which has a rune cannon built onto both sides, with two more regular cannons surrounding the rune cannon. Although not very large, it's Rune cannon's (which are quite new to the market) more than make up for it.
Personality: Horribly cocky and quick to anger, although will attempt to talk out of any conflict unless he has a large group behind him.
His ability to lie well and gold stocks give him an edge over most people who aren't on his side.

Life deal spirit name: Roger Red Eye's
His adoptive father until he abandoned him, Maxwell decided to abuse whatever power he could from his spirit and hopefully get him into hell rather than heaven.
Character Relation: Roger red Eyes, who was killed before Max could get to him.

hmmmm haven't seen Nobu in a while, spirit master, if you're reading this you're missed

Yeah, his character would be perfect for this scene!
