ooc:Trap Star

[hybirdx]

The year is 2850 on the planet Ryu, the alternate world to earth. The war of dragons had ended over four hundred years ago, and most of Ryu's habitants had imagrated to high tech world earth quickly after the war.

The few that did remained, decided to make sure another war of dragons will not occur, so they had seeled up what originally made the war occur. The Trap Star.

But to do so, they also had to seel up a demon, but the only living demon after the war was just an child, and had helped save planet Ryu. But he volenteered to do so any way, to save the people who bertayed him

But Lately... Planet Ryu has been ruled by an evil warlord, who seemed to found the trap star, and any body who even thought of over powering him, was instantly killed...


Okay if you want join, join here...

My chara

Name: Ein (aka Clown) Hirikal
age:17
Race uknown
Hair: Dark auburn
eyes: Crimson.

Bio: Clown has no memory of his past, and was adopted by an carnival owner who takes in runaways, and orphans who have no homes. Thats all that is know about Clown.

 

[bobo_daclown]

What kind of thread will this be? For instance, are the characters to follow a medieval casting or will this be technological with armor and weapons?

The idea is interesting, but I cannot develop a character without further information.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Here's some stuff Hy told me in another thread...

1) Can people from Ryu travel to Earth? What is their relationship, geography/people/technology/magic-wise?

People used to be able to travle to Earth, but after the warlord came along, only solders could travel, any bodd with out permisson to travel would be killed brutally and slowly. Ryu is just like earth, except its not exactly earth, the are more islands than countrys. and the land is lush.

animals like the phoenix, giant birds, thundras and the lock ness monster do exist.

2) What the heck are the Dragon Wars?

the war of dragons, was when the trap stars power was at the fullest. And at the time, the rishonen dragons colony owned it. and every known evil wanted it, espeacialy the Black heart dragons. So they tried to kill the elder dragon and take it for their own greed. But thanks to a young half demon, The Rushonens were prepaired.

3) Any other species besides humans? What about alien contact?

Yes, almost any race you can imangine exist, were-wolfs, bug warroirs, phoenixens, shadow elfs, you imagine it, they exist!


And here are other questions I still have.

Hybird, I'm still curious about aliens, what magic is like, and what technology is like. Is it possible that it could be in the 2800s and not have space travel or super Macross-style weaponry? Did the Dragon Wars destroy all the super-technology or what?

Are the Rishonen Dragons actually, well, dragons?

What kinds of magic are there? Are we gonna do it normal fantasy style, with Elementalists/Thaumaturgists, and then monk-like Theurgists, with priesty miracle-workers and summoners of monsters on the side? That's always the easiest way while staying cool and interesting, as far as I can tell...

So there are demons? Are there angels too? And thus, Heaven and Hell, on seperate planes?

Oh, and why did people travel to Earth from Ryu? How did it affect Ryu... and did it affect Earth?


I love to flesh out things, sorry, but it'd be awesome if I could know all those things.

Oh, and is there a "main big island" where the human empire lives and the other races come to trade or whatever?

 

[hybirdx]

First off, yes, the Rishonens are dragons, the thing about them is that they look different than eachother. Some of the Rishonens look like humans with wings, others look like dogs. and some even look like birds and well, dragons of course!

There is an main island. It is where two legendary races called the moonsirons and Shirkumi used to live (Don't ask what What the moonsirons and Shirikumi were, nobody know since they left way before th War of Dragons.) Most trades are made there. The warlords empire is not far from there, (Infact, it floats right above it)

Yes, there are angles just like demons. But they are extremly rare to find, because most still live on heaven.

Yes, there are aliens around the planet, and some on Ryu, and most live on the main island.

Alright here is the technoligy, most of it was destroyed by the war, but some technoligy like high tech moter cycles, hover boards, and flying car do exist. But they mostly exist in huge citys. Macroos stly ships do exist, but all belong to the warlord.

Okay magic, to be blunt, if you had ever seen yu yu hakusho, its that kind of magic. If you do not. then I will tr to explain as much as I can later.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

I've played Yu Yu Haishuko video games before, but never seen the anime.

So could you explain it more, then?

 

[cats]

I'm think I might join. But I'll wieght to post a chara. Two things... no clue on the magic. and good title.

 

[hybirdx]

I've played Yu Yu Haishuko video games before, but never seen the anime.

So could you explain it more, then?

They have games?

Any ways, I want to make the magic use as easy as possible, and explaining it makes even me confused, so I'll just have to say elimentalis and Ninjutsu stly, which both depend majorly on enviroments, summoning monsters is cabable, but It take alot of energy.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Dude. Find the Yuu Yuu Hakusho (or whatever it's called) Special Edition game, on a ROM for SNES. It's actually called Yuu Yuu Hakusho Tokubehuten, if you see that instead... try going to www.edgeemu.com for good reliability, most of the time. But it's an amazing game. I had never heard of Yuu Yuu Hakusho before, but I was amazed. It's a cinematic fighting game... as in when you play it, you input the commands by pushing buttons in combinations, and then it looks like a cartoon in progress as your commands are enacted... it's crazy.

Uhh... anyway.

Great. What about priests and such? Give me a bit of info on religion, tell me where the adventure takes place, and I'll create a character.

 

[hybirdx]

Damn you ask alot of questions!

The story will begin in the cotinent of rokenui. Most people worship an Dragon named Kasamaryu, who is said to have created Ryu, some do belive in Colervon, but not much is know about that religion.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Do priests of Kasamaryu get channeled power from the dragon in return for faith and worship, thus allowing them to cast spells (do miracles)? Cuz I might want to play a priest.

 

[hybirdx]

Yeah but, preist can not become preist so easy, they have to train for 60 years, by then, there agiliaty and strength had majorly decreased.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Aww, sheesh. Kill the idea for me, why don't you.

Well, I'll have to think of something else...

 

[hybirdx]

Why don't be an a former monk in training but went AWOL because of boredum?

That way you can have an fighting style, and learn different magic abiliatys!

 

[Roughneck]

Thread sounds intresting, think I'll give it a shot. heres a rough idea of the Char i want to play, let me know if its exceptable.


Name: Kriss Bradshaw

Race: Human

Age: 28

Hair: Dirty Blond

Eyes: Gray

Height 6'3

Build: Large frame, not bulkly or powerful looking


Bio: Kriss is refered to as an Outlander, Ryu's version of pirates. He leads a rag tag group of men who defy the Warlord and all others in the name of profit. Many of the items and technology desired on Ryu, is often sold by Kriss, on the black market. Though Kriss has never come in contact with the Warlord, he has had many encounters with the Warlords men. One such encounter left his right face badly disfigured. Kriss is a very tall and lean man, though he may not look tough, his reflexes are quite fast, as well as his wit to out think his enemy. Kriss is hated and respected by the people of Ryu, often looked upon as a hero for his defiance towards the Warlord. Yet Kriss too is in search of something, could it be the Trap Star?

( ok thats a rough idea of what i want to play, let me know if its exceptable or if I need to add anything else.)

 

[cats]

As promised a chara idea.... may not be a good one, but it's there just the same.

Name: X-78 "Lee"

Race: Alien: Gryee defense force

Eyes: Mood Blue- his eyes go from an unatral blue to grey depending on the amount of happyness he feels. They also go from light to dark bassed on stress.

Hair: Dark brown, shoulder length in a pony tail.

age: 22 (122)

build: light weight with supriseing strength.

Bio: He was drafted into the defense force at the age of 16. He then under went Bio enhancemnt. The gryee are very advance in trems of technology, which led them to become weak phisicly. After spending a year in a gene therapy center he began training with his equipment. The five year long boot camp went by real quick to him and then he was frozen for latter use.

While he was frozen a terrorist blue up the blue head quarters and his block drifted to Ryu. His block wich was made very durable just incase this sort of thing happened survived reentry. To his knowlegde he is the only gryee. He is just begining to thaw out and then he will move for his vehicle.

Skill: Regeneration for himself and above average reflexes and strength (Yea the gryee were pretty damn weak he's about 10 times stronger and faster then the average one.)

weakness: the gryee has no knowledge of magic and have aquired a weakness to it also there technology seems weak against it for the time being.

Gear: Two force swords, one Nano suite, one RX-78 class "Star" Mecha. The swords are one handed and about 8 inches long each projecting a 3 foot beam of pure force. The Nano suite is made of billoins of micro scopic robots, they adapt quickly and replenish there numbers. The mecha is a vehicle a humanoid war walker, I'll post it latter.

Any complaints so far. You did say Aleins are allowed right?

 

[hybirdx]

Thats good you two, welcome.

 

[cats]

Really I figured I was over doing it. Oh well I still need to do the Star Mecha.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Name: Dobok Hidecka

Race: Ika'san'ri (blue-furred amphibious canine humanoids, generally live in caves and become caravaneers or monks... I have a bizarre imagination)

Profession: Caravaneer / Soulsearcher (ika'san'ri monk)

Abilities:
Racial-- Breathes water, an innate magical ability. Naturally optimistic and has a bonus against fear. A bit oblivious, no penalties to intelligence or wisdom or willpower or anything but "levels up" slower cuz experience takes longer to absorb.
Caravaneer-- Haggling, friendiness, empathy, animal handling, whip fighting, gambling, fasttalking, alertness vs. ambushes.
Soulsearcher-- Meditation (makes up for racial flaw mostly), empty hand combat, plains/forest/cavern/underwater survival, monster empathy, mind over matter (weak psionic ability), elemental theory (weak elemental magic ability).

Gear:
Thin cotton pants, thin cotton shirt with insignia of the Soulsearcher initiate, thick boots of woven wood and bark, cotton fingerless gloves with pebbles in the knuckles, plant fiber whip with small thorns. He doesn't need clothes because of fur, but remembers that some other races don't much like naked people wandering around.

Class and Character Info:
Soulsearchers are a very well-rounded profession, and generally redeem the odd-looking and humorously optimistic Ika'san'ri into making them a fighting force. Normally, the Ika'san'ri are well-liked and live on their flower-covered cavernous island of Arishogo, and considered not a threat, but because of the Soulsearchers ability to use both the elements and mind over matter, and even summon spiritual guide-monsters after much training, makes them worthy of consideration.

Dobok himself is more clever than his friends by a mental standard, and his just as empathetic and friendly. Thus, because of all his optimal abilities, he was sent out into the world to gain experience -- something most Ika'san'ris have a hard time doing. They hope that he will come back and write a book, and teach the Ika'san'ri something new.

Also, he has traveled the main continent once before with his father Yujio, a dashing caravaneer (by Ika'san'ri standards, anyway), and knows a bit about other cultures. Like, about forks. The Ika'san'ri still don't quite get those.

He arrives soon at port, waiting for adventure...


(How's that? He has a lot of potential, anyway.)

 

[Roughneck]

Great Chars you guys, I must admit they are quite awsome compared to mine. No worry though, I'm sure I can improvise.

Maniodoran:
the merchant

Maniodoran is of one of the races that never developed a martial art or even a good fighting stance. However, his people have always been good with figures.

Like his father and grandfather before him, Maniodoran is a merchant who sails the seas and brings goods to many of the islands east of the Capitol. Though most would this this a dangerous occupation, Mani has never had any problems with it. What he doesn't realize is that what he sees isn't what others see. His sight is often clouded with colored lines or webbing. He has the Sight. He can see magic and manipulate it; but, he never learned about that nor is he trained in the usage of such a power. Most of the impact he has is of instinctual nature: a reaction, rather than an action.

Age: 28
Occ: Merchant and captain of his small trading ship.
Sex: Male
Size: He stands five feet, eight inches short and weighs nearly two hundred pounds giving him a rather fat look.
Hair: He stopped cutting his dark greasy hair about the same time he stopped bathing routinely--when his father died two years ago. His hair falls mostly down his back and is a birds nest of a tangle. His beard never really developed and he looks as though he has two-day-old stubble rather than a two-year-old beard.

 

[hybirdx]

Those charas a pretty good (Pretty big imaginations guys.) But what about magic?

 

[cats]

Well I left the magic thing as a big weakness for my chara. Makes the plot more interesting. The other interesting thing is who will thaw out "Lee" and what side there on in any case he's a powerfull asset.

Maybe latter I'll do a magic chara. I was thinking of a natral mana enhancer. So spells have more power when the charas around. Now if that dosen't say "Powerfull wizards kidnap me!" I don't know what dose.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Dobok is a good magic-user.

He has both "mind over matter" and "elemental theory" (my random skillnames for low-level psych spells and element spells), so he's capable of holding up the low ends of the party's spellcasting, and can get a lot stronger later -- while still being combat-oriented.

I'm thinking elements are Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit (traditional wicca/tarot elements). Spirit can include both Life and Void spells, and since the profession is a "Soulsearcher", the characters cast spells based on their personalities more than anything else, rather than any particular restrictions.

So Dobok has weak telekinesis, detect attitude (single target, though he's good at that naturally, he's empathetic), adrenaline rush, and detect danger (area-effect) as his psych spells, I'm thinking.... and burning hand, ripple armor (dodge like a river flows around a rock!), gravity ball (fire a ball of condensed air), rock hand, restore tissue (greatly speed up healing process, but can't bring dead organs back to life or restore blood), and decay tissue as his beginning spells.

Hopefully some sort of "rock skin" spell will be next, and some lightning attacks.

So if we have no full-force magic dudes, Dobok might be able to take care of the basic stuff, when he's not figuring out the mysteries of windowpanes or punching people. I hope you don't mind my choice in spells, Hy... please let me know if you don't like anything.

Star Mecha

I made this thing in GURPS a few months back and so I have just about every thing for it maped out except it's color and height. Any how I'll try to keep this pretty simple.

Head: Decoy discharger with 8 reloads. Radar, Ladar, Ifered camreas and camreas.

Body: Second decoy discharger 8 relaods as well. 2 gatling plasma canons. a womb cockpit with ejectio seat. And an Antimatter reactor.

Legs: Reactionless thrusters, operate in space, water and earth with no need of fuel. One in each leg alowing a top air speed of 600 miles per hour. Combat speed is 80 mph.

Larm: A heavy limpit despencer (A sticky time bomb sort of thing.) five shots. A force sheild that directs attacks around the mecha when activated soime shots still do get threw.

Rarm: A very large force blade built into the wrist. For close range combat.

Rifle: A one handed rifle thats a MD. Particle cannon, very efective on machines.

Armor: A thermal superconducting laminate, not very thick. The armor is extremly good against explosives like missles and bombs, roughly 4 times more efective. It's also usefull against heat based weapons roughly twice as efective. Lastly bullets and shells are just as efective as they normally would be.

This fell to Ryu seprate from "Lee" and could be used against him.

I almost forgot to things it carrys ten md. sized missles on a hard point on its right shoulder. And it's top thing is IR cloacking. With some stealth to radar and the like.
