Children of Laranthiel - A Post Apocalyptic Fantasy and Exploration RP - Signups

Any specific timeframe for when you'll make your picks? Just curious, since I am excited about this RP.

Alright people, I'm terribly weak. This is how R Ps die.

But I'll be running two versions of this game. One group of six and one group of seven.

The groups are as follows, in no particular order...

• Team Blade:
  • Enat
  • Mirari
  • Skald
  • Ashani
  • Deag
  • Yuzuki
  • Dakana

• Team Shield
  • Yasamin
  • Aelrys
  • Mugen
  • Ynea
  • Evald
  • Ikaika
  • Hika

That is all for now! In the close future I shall give feedback into your characters, things to modify and the like.

Umm, I'm sorry for just popping in like this, and rather late too. But, can I still post a sign-up for the waitlist, if that's a thing?

-checks Team Blade members-

So we got the Assassin, the Strategist, the Cleric, the Fighter?, the Engineer, and the Archer. Interesting team we got here if I must say. Just make sure you don't get too hurt because Skald is only one skelly.

Now, just a question that you are free to answer or not Daltar. Really I'm just poking to see if I can get a bite, you know? So, if we just put something like Holy or Lightning, will we got to decide what that means once we unlock them or will you define that? Because something like Lightning is pretty simple but magic like Holy or Enhancement can be kind of broad. My apologies if this is something would have answered during the discussion about character changes.

I get to decide what that means, actually!

@Grim, You may submit a character for it, yes.

I'm in, yay!

By contrast, with Evald, Yasamin and Ynea in it Team Shield might as well be called Team Hunt. Not a serious suggestion.

Oh, cool, thanks! Here's my sheet.

• Name: Dakàna
• Appearance: Dakàna is a tall, muscular humanoid female, standing at just above six feet. She has messy, wavy black hair and yellowish, reptillian eyes. Her body has patches of grey-black scales, most of it concentrated on her neck, shoulders and back, giving a sort of natural armor. Her hands are similarly scaled and are tipped with hooked claws, which makes holding things awkward and clumsy. Her teeth are pointed, made to rip and tear. She has a long, strong tail, plated in scales and ending in a spiked ball.
• Clan requests: Nomadic, Nature-Loving
• Personality: Dakàna, in complete contrast to her intimidating appearance, is shy, gentle and demure. She gets rather awkward when talking to people, and desperately wants to please anyone she talks to. Clumsy and fidgety, easily embarassed and prone to fits of sadness. She's like to have friends a lot, but she's fearful that she might hurt the people around her due to her less than stellar control. Kindhearted to a fault, she doesn't know when to say no to a favor.
• Inheritance: A dark green cloak. Slightly enchanted, it's good for blending in with trees and bushes, but it doesn't make her truly invisible.
• Skills: Dakàna is an excellent tracker, surprisingly vicious in a brawl, and an amazing cook. (Tracking, fighting, cooking)
• Clan Quirk: Her teeth and tail are venomous. It's not...particularly fatal, but it does give a non-neglible amount of burning pain, and a few minutes of paralysis.
• Magic: Earth
• What do you seek in a companion?: Kindness

Seems nice and complete... Hmm... alright, if you want I can put you up on team Blade right away... or you can remain in Waitlist until someone drops.

I'd like to join, please~.

• Team Blade:
  • Enat: May like a small expansion on personality, Inheritance works as it is, though I may modify a little bit the specifics of how it works.
  • Mirari: No big changes needed.
  • Skald: Inheritance should be a single thing, consider it a single relic. Most commonly it should be a weapon of some sort or something meant to assist you in fending off in a hostile environment. How your people defended themselves. Can expand on the mace or perhaps the book as a vessel for Holy magic, depending on which direction you want to go in. Additionally, I'd ask you if you'd mind going from full on Skeleton to exposed bones but with say... a bit of skin stuck to the bones, kind of like dessicated mummies? Would make it easier to explain how he eats.
  • Ashani: I'd ask you to tone down her personality a bit, at least the more conflictive aspects of it. This game will require the players to cooperate and coexist and while some conflict in culture and outlooks may be good for RP interactions, if taken too far it can be too disruptive. Inheritance works as a whip with such properties, however, the extent of the controlling influence will need to slowly grow with the RP. Don't expect it to be a given that it will work. Clan Quirk should be able to be withstood by others and serves maybe as nourishment and a bit of extra energy.
  • Deag: Inheritance should be a single item, look over previous advice to what it is meant to be.
  • Yuzuki: Everything seems in order, but Rocketry is not accepted as a base skill, given your Inheritance swordsmanship may be more inmediately useful.
  • Dakana: I'd prefer a different Inheritance than a food producing magic bag. Aside from that seems good.

• Team Shield
  • Yasamin: A bit straight to the point but it all works in general.
  • Aelrys: Personality could stand to be a bit less rough or add a few things that will help him get along with others. Inheritance works in general, though something else may be more proper for them. Still if you like it no need to change it.
  • Mugen: Works in general, flame effect on Gauntlets will likely start somewhat weak or be nonexistent.
  • Ynea: Solid, no need for change in general.
  • Evald: A small expansion on appearance and personality would be good. Aside from that, seems good. Do notice there's two bows as Inheritance on this team, though that's not a problem so long as you're both satisfied with it.
  • Ikaika: Seems good, though be aware that both your Inheritance and Clan Quirk are highly situational. I'd recommend something more widely usable, however if you're resolute you like things as they are, it certainly works.
  • Hika: A bit to the point, but functional.

Sword is suposed to be an absolute emergency wespon, and it's protection is more the point then the blade.

So how about chemistry then?

Oh boy! Ok let's see......Yeah about what I expected for the Inheritance. I can go for the book as a vessel for the Holy magic but would I be allowed to keep the medical advice? Like, here's my change to Inheritance.

• Inheritance: A tome of prayers, rituals, meditations and notes of how to treat injuries, illnesses, and other aliments. Basically a mixture of a medical journal and spiritual sculpture. As well, it seems that those who left it for him have blessed it with special magics and the highest of holy rituals so that itself is a vessel for holy power. Plus it's a quality hardcover book so it's not terrible for hitting.

How does that look? Like other Inheritances I tried to tie in all of Skald's elements so it's a magical weapon for holy forces, it's a useful guide for treating others, and it makes a ok beginning tool for defense. At least he can get a sword lol.

As for the more mummy/zombie look, sure thing. That would be more easy combat wise as well since I know he should at least get cuts and shit. I'll edit the appearance section in a bit.

EDIT: Ok, changed the Inheritance and made the appearance section change. I tried my best to make it clear that he's not supposed to be gross body horror undead and more "damn for a dead guy you could pass as human" fantasy undead, you know? Still, please inform if you want me to edit it a bit more.

Light to All, thanks for the changes, that should work well, though if you want to keep some of the skeleton looks, perhaps you can have his head look like a skull? Like, the flesh on that part is underneath the bones. Inheritance is good, he should start as more of a spellcaster than a lot of the characters given his Inheritance. The details of it you'll get on the game itself.

Imca, sorry but to go at it again, the core of it is that I don't like the idea of low tech rockets in the application, at least not in that way. Moving things around to try and get to it from another angle will run into the same objection I have already. I'm not saying it's not something that could or may exist in the setting, but I don't want it for one of the Children. If you can change it bow, crossbow, sling or any other ranged weapon if you want to go at it from that direction, that can work but please, no rockets.

edited 23rd Oct '17 3:28:03 PM by daltar

Chemistry can be used for more then that though, fire arrows, poison arrows, explosive arrows, corrosive arrows, or whatever projectile launcher your going to use specifically.

Or outside of projectiles, you have gelled petroleum (greek fire), basic medicines, acids.......

That one was less about rockets and more about what you can launch our of well whatever launcher she ends up getting.

And another edit made. Made the head fully skull and made it so the mummy like skin starts at the neck. That way I get some of the full skeleton look I want while also making stuff like injury and eating more simple. I actually do kind of like this look more than a full skeleton. Has this interesting mixture of undead types.

As well, I can see what you are doing with Yuzuki so if you don't mind me suggesting a idea, maybe give her the skill of potion crafting? Poisons, healing bottles, magic restores, stamina supports. And maybe at some point you can get a mixture that has some explosive power? Just a suggestion based on the culture of the character. :)

EDIT: Oh and you posted before I sent this! My bad. Please ignore the second part.

edited 23rd Oct '17 3:50:40 PM by LightToAll

Yeah, I was wondering if I could get away with that, although for the life of me, I couldn't think of anything. Weapons seem kinda redundant.

Umm, suggestions?

Armor? Cloak? Boots? Gauntlets to hide their claws?

Thankies. Editted something. Does this work?

Changed Aelrys personality to make him more relatable and modified his Inheritance.

Incidentally, will we have a discussion thread or a Discord up soon?

Sure. In fact we've been discussing about this rp in a while now here.

Looks good!

Thank you, dalt~.

well edited. tried to expand on personality, but unfortunately i've never been too good at writing detailed personalities.

Expanded appearance a bit to include what he wears. Personality is more difficult because my characters tend to grow as I play them. If you want I can trade the long bow for a crossbow or a musket. Or a laser cannon

edited 24th Oct '17 4:13:45 PM by tricksterson

Ah sorry tricksterson, but strike away what he wears at least for now. Aside from that it looks good!
