Swords Sex and Sorcery (group thread OOC)

gotcha now I am not confused.

 

[Proudhon]

As for her appearance, I may have used some misleading terms. What I meant is that she looks like a normal human, but with the trademark pointed ears (like in Lord of the Rings), not the strange skintones you can have in games like Oblivion or World of Warcraft.

Hope that clears some confusion.

Haha, cool. I figured you meant something like that, I just thought it was a funny choice of words.

 

[Drakkwall]

Still not sure what skintone it is about. <<

 

[Katamari Roller]

Just let it be. It is inconsequential, the picture is clear enough.

 

[Drakkwall]

True, I wil not mention it again, them ystery of the skintoned elf eludes me once again, but I will discover the truth, soon enough. *makes a dramatic pose like a detective who had just failed to captured a villain/vigilante*

 

[Proudhon]

So... I guess everything's in order now?

 

[dravynslilvamp]

I am waiting to hear from kitten to see if he wants me to play in the group so I can place my character back

 

[Proudhon]

Cool. How many players did we end up being?

 

[dravynslilvamp]

Just the one everyone hated but if kitten okays it shes coming back

 

[kittenofdeath]

That is why I still say I lack proficiency in English.

When I said necklace, I had in my mind a necklace of the Egyptian kind, that spreads a little down the chest. Now that I've looked up what a gorget is, I can truly say its what I meant to represent the armour "necklace".

Gotta find someone to draw me some pictures...

Oh, yeah, that makes more sense

Okay, her powers are basicly the following. She can speak with the wild spirits that inhabit the forests and ask them to lend her their strength, stamina, agility or whatever special trait that specific spirit posesses.
Namira can't speak with any other types of spirits (as of yet, that may change in the story), so she is not a Shaman.

The best way I can honestly describe it is that she's a mixture of an Earth and Woodcrafter, from the Codex Alera series.

As for her appearance, I may have used some misleading terms. What I meant is that she looks like a normal human, but with the trademark pointed ears (like in Lord of the Rings), not the strange skintones you can have in games like Oblivion or World of Warcraft.

Hope that clears some confusion.

So shes stronger in wooded areas then? No problem.

Still not sure what skintone it is about. <<

Elves in some media are depicted with altered skin tones, such as night elves from wow (purple) or the elves from the elder scrolls (gold or dark blue) she meant that her one was just the regular skin tone.

I am waiting to hear from kitten to see if he wants me to play in the group so I can place my character back

Huh? Yeah I said come back, didnt I? Oh well I'll just say it again, please come back.

Cool. How many players did we end up being?

When I used to play DnD this was called the "golden background" for an imaginative DM. And an even better one for an evil DM.
Just enough information to put a character together but enough grey arias to expand it later. I like it.

As a DM I would go after the hint of "rape child" and somehow make the father re-appear from the shadows. Perhaps taunt the character with a _really_ boring NPC, since she tends to be a loner. I really like this character.

One other thing: how will the story evolve? Will there be a posting order (good for keeping thread more or less coherent and avoid someone falling back) or will it be a "post when you want thingy"?

 

[dravynslilvamp]

Thanks for liking my character I want it to be different and simple not some bs character who is the same as some in their own aspect.

Everything there is fine in my books.

What will the Currency be
Gold/Silver/cooper coins or will it be something diffenrent

platnum coins (100 gold coins) called the kings coin
Gold coins (10 silver coins) called thrones
Silver coins (10 copper coins) called crowns
copper coins are just coppers

Post whenever, obviously double check with a quick refresh before posting though. If you have a big post in the works though and dont want someone to post while you're writing and screw you up, post here and say what it effects so everyone knows what to avoid untill you've posted

You got me a little lost there on your reply but I think I got the general picture.

Hey, no problem! The more, the merrier and the more space to "poke" the character on the ribs and get them stirred off their planned behaviour the better.

Now speaking on a personal level: I usually put a lot of work on my characters but I like that. I know that the more detail I give to a character the more I can get "shackled" and lose a lot of freedom of behaviour but for me its more of a challenge than anything else.

But more "grey" characters, with lots of room in its backgrounds to add and take as the story evolves are usually those that give the spice to the game, because the player will have more room to fit into what the story needs. And that, in my book, is _very_ good.

More detailed characters often become boring or, in the worst case scenario, dangerous. I once played an adventure where there was a paladin.
At first, this does not seem to be bad. But then the DM decided to twist the story and add a almost unavoidable path for the paladin, by throwing an arch where an evil mage was bringing up undead creatures and demons and attacking a given city.

The obvious course of the game was that the party was to go to the given city and fend off the creatures. But when it was known that the creatures were under the command of an evil guy, the paladin was turned into a zealot. And the player was forced to go along because paladins are usually bind by a strict code of moral and conduct.

The result was a party mostly made up of neutral or neutral good characters (there was one guy that was neutral evil: me!) forced into a zealot quest because the damned paladin had a leadership trait and managed to convince every single element of the party! That basically _spoiled_ the game for every one!

Once again: grey characters? Fine by me.

 

[Qyron]

I only asked about posting order because I've had a little experience with email-RPG and that kind of games can pile together very large groups of player.

Deciding a posting (writing) order has its drawbacks - one person bends the story in a way that cuts off someone else idea for the next action, takes time for the entire group to post - but in the general picture _if well organized_ makes a much more organized and coherent adventure.

And we have the advantage to have a OOC thread, where we can chat around and throw ideas to keep a steady course without steeping on each others toes (very much).

But that is just a thought...

We'll try going without a posting order at first, but if things get out of hand or off track, we''l change to it for a while.

I could do a more detailed bio but for this I wanted to leave her more room to grow as the thread progresses because in my experience even in rl role play if you plan it all out it can be jumbled and like you said if something curves your characters screwed where now if something happens I can tweak her into the situation with out banging my brain to figure out how because my character is to structured.

 

[Katamari Roller]

Just so we are clear on this: Kitten, will you be acting as full GM, or as half GM?


(full GM = you handle all npcs, half GM = standard literotica affair with everyone doing whatever they want, but you hinting at where they are supposed to go)





Also, nice choice for serving girl. Although I doubt Trude really has the qualities for that.

Lets call me a 3 quaters GM, I'll control the NPC's as much as I can, but feel free to use them as well, or make new ones and have fun.

Thanks, and whos Trude?

 

[Drakkwall]

The anime girl you picked to be the barmaid.

 

[Katamari Roller]

Trude is the name of the character you picked, yes. She is from a show called "Strike Witches". You should watch it, it has a very mature plot, memorable characters, non-stop action and a fairly realistic look on war and its influence on the minds of people.

That anime is a legend.
