    To clarify, the tattoos are all hexes. Think of it as an intentional curse. She has them, so she can't get rid of the hex anymore. Thats why she is limited in what abilities she can get. Basically in zhizao magic you weave spells into objects or in this case into the flesh. She doesn't need to have a strong knowledge or understanding of magic, but it will drain her of her life's energy as she continues to use abilities over time. Obviously this replenishes out of combat but its the pay-off for not having to know how to use magic to use it. Like a protraction or spellweave, but human. This ALSO means that she doesnt necesarily understand magic to begin with. The tattoos and a few hex rituals would be all she understands whereas normal magic might (perhaps not baffle but) be foreign to her.

    I will go over RDs character later, kind of busy atm.

    She doesn't even know how the tattoos work or any hex rituals. That's what the tribe's shaman caste is for.

    Atsuko isn't antisocial, she's just bad at it. That's actually part of her personal quest; learning to interact with people of other cultures

    I looked over all the character ideas currently available. I think they will all work out really well. Interested in hearing what producer is wanting to play... and I vaguely remember anima was supposed to join us? Is he going to or are we going to go ahead w/o?

    So I saw anima posted his character. The whole point of this topic was for people to talk and communicate about what they wanted to play so i'm going to post it here for reference.

    TheWhiteRabbit wrote:Character / Player Application - Page 2 Templa10

    Name: Ruhiel Cromar Isengrant
    Class: Arcana

    Arcana: 6
    Endurance: 5
    Agility: 4
    Speed:4
    Accuracy:1

    Load-out
    Ruhiel has a three pronged blunt mace(I know its an axe in the picture), and a strong wooden shield with metal lining bolted on with a red cross like image painted on. He has a heavy cloth cloak with thick clock armor with chain mail underneath. He has an eye-patch over his left eye. He has a heighten sense of hearing with his left ear but is completely unable to use the eye to see with. Though his mace is wielded in his right hand he is actually left handed. He holds the shield in his left hand for protection because of his inability to see.

    Background story:
    BG:
    Traits: Positive
    -Calm
    -Persistent
    -Interesting sense of humor


    Negative:
    -Low patients for ignorance
    -Loses interest in "boring" people (his words)
    -Doesn't like questions about his eye

    Trivial: A warm smile and holy garb are disarming right?





    I havent had time to look over it myself but I will do so later today. But please keep in mind the point of this topic was for everyone to communicate so I would have preferred if you posted it in here before making the character officially. Either way WIP is WIP, so it's not an issue. Be back later~

    I went over the character, he seems good. I was wondering though what exactly does he do? As a priest is he a healer or a mage?

    Also, the most common church has an eye for a symbol, not a cross, but I had been playing with the idea of throwing in a newer rising religion to balance them so the cross will be fine in terms of lore.

    Name: Shibari Kemuri
    Class: Construct
    Sub-Class: Light/Ranged Fighter
    Age: 25
    Gender: Female
    Profession: Metal-/Gunsmith

    Attributes-

    Might: 4

    Arcana: 0
    Endurance: 0
    Agility: 5
    Speed: 4
    Accuracy: 8

    Load-Out:
    WIP - Not even sure how to work out portable heat sources etc.

    Background:
    WIP - You will get a taste once I have most of that done.

    Appearance:
    Character / Player Application - Page 2 0e5f7657b9
    Her usually dark appearance always seems to raise the impression of her being quite unfriendly or anti-social. Yet she rather is quiet and selective about who she talks to.

    Negatives:

    - Quiet and somewhat selective who she talks to
    - Can appear a little cold and unfriendly at first
    - Her smile might be one of the rarest things one will see, at least the ones that are fully sincere
    - With her cold appearance is accompanied by her usually grim thoughts about certain things or situations
    - Tends to be evasive when she wants to avoid speaking about certain things
    - Distrustful with many

    Positives:

    - Patient with what she's doing and has to be done
    - Very efficient when it comes to materials and money
    - All around friendly, barely rejecting towards anyone willing to approach her
    - Open to helping others with matters and problems
    - Any weapon that shoots ammo will attract her attention, there's nothing she wouldn't dare to fix
    - Also able with fixing other mechanical things
    - What she builds, she can fire, and that accurately at that
    - Due to her quiet attitude, she manages to remain calm or manage stresslevels fairly well.

    Trivial:
    One could say that the opposite sex is less interesting for her than the same one.
    She can get sarcastic, yet that can go undetected a lot.

    --------------------------
    Anyhow, I basically wanted to make a char that knows how to make weapons, no protractive ones, just one that fire your classic ammo types.

    In question would be how long it takes to make a weapon, materials and so on, hence me saying that I wanted to know how crafting would work.
    I would like to have some input about how you would go with it and so on, maybe finding a general solution on how to implement it properly.

    The character is very interesting, I think she will work well with the rest of the group. She brings a few skills to the table that (so far) no-one else seems to be capable of. Being able to repair a lot of tools and smaller gear is very useful especially when travelling and her ability to make small firearms can help with some income every now and again.

    I think one of the greatest challenges this character will have is figuring out how much of what resources is realistic to take along. As for crafting, the character does what the character does. I want to try and stick to a realistic time frame while making things a little accessible for anyone who builds stuff. For example; someone weaving a basket will take just as long as it would in real life. The character takes 10-60 minutes depending on the size of the basket and weaves things together. In this specific case creating each part from scratch will take some time.

    Personally I think the best way to get this done is to have a cast of some sorts. You can shape casts manually and make even them from scratch but the resources aren't always at hand so it would make sense for her to carry around some pre-determined casts for bigger parts. heating the resources would be somewhat challenging, too, but not impossible. It depends on the time and place and whether the character is in a town/village/city or just out in the wild.

    Weight will also be a big problem. I see she doesn't really have any endurance and her might is on the low side so she doesn't seem to have a lot of physical strength. So you'll have to think about how she is going to carry resources and tools. We can work something out with protraction or spellweaves but we'll have to talk about that in more detail. I wouldn't mind hearing DelaKayte's opinion on these topics since she has an easy time translating RL into Mechanics.

    Since everyone has posted their characters so far and there don't seem to be any problems, you can all go ahead and post them in the player character section on the forum. Be sure to flesh out anything you might be missing and keep in mind that without an in-game reason for their stat change everything after the start of the game is permanent.


    That being said, I know a lot of the characters aren't built towards having met each other before. How do you want to handle things? Which characters will be paired up from the beginning and which won't?

    Heh, indeed. He's a lightning bruiser. Made to out pace and out maneuver the opponent and go for the vitals debilitating the adversary over time before finishing them. Combined with your character i foresee some interesting combinations.

    Assuming this means my char is cleared for further development.

    As for how we handle things... I dunno about everyone else but as for Rauj... I'd prefer if he wasn't paired with anyone from the start. Mayhaps a couple run-ins before the actual group-up. Hm... though i could be convinced to do something a bit different... got an idea i'mma run it by th' Geek.

    Let me know how things work out. I -really- would like for a good bit of the characters to have a base-line of trust. Like they've met before or have some light history at the very least. It worked really well between Sharpe, RD, and Atrium last game. I feel like it brought the three together despite Jericho's relationship with the group. It would make things easier and we wouldnt have to spend the majority of the beginning trying to build relationships with strangers.

    Edit; I want to be able to build the game around a team, not a couple of individuals. There are plenty of ways for lone-wolf characters to stand by a group but I don't want to have to enforce that with tight game mechanics or npc's guidance. I would really want for everyone to be able to work as a group so the game is more enjoyable for everyone.

    I don't think you're getting it. Does a protraction gun have a magic stat? If you get cursed, does it give you a magic stat? If you use magical weapons and armor does it give you a magic stat? No. This is the same thing, only it's tattoos.

    I share your thoughts exactly, and that's my problem. Once again we have a whole group of characters with no common ground. We need to -make- common ground, before the game starts, or it's just going to be 2 months of distrust and people doing their own thing again.

    Jericho wasn't a problem. That's what I was saying. Him and RD had some beef, and only him and RD.  And despite that the group worked well together, only out of the fact that they had met (briefly or not) in the past at some point.

    What's to say Rey and Rauj wouldnt have met in the past. Maybe Rauj helped him out or stole from him and rey had him return it later. There are many easy ways to make characters have contact here. Either of the characters could have super easily had a run in with atsuko. She's travelling to the city to see what there is to see with an event like that going on. Perhaps she came across the gladiator or the priest who happened to be in the area and on their way to the place for one reason or another. Just because they're slow to warm up with one another doesnt mean they couldnt have met at some point in the past through some reason or another.

    For the most part I will be able to find one reasonable excuse or another to link the characters together, but I don't want it to be a forceful thing. Everyone should be able to enjoy the game and me making the decision of: "Well this is happening because it's a thing now" will make some people feel uncomforterable, in the same way that playing seperately will make others uncomforterable. I just think its important that the characters either have an easier time trusting each other or have had some reason from past events to trust them.

    You weren't even there in the beginning, so how do you know if people were all distrusting? I can say that Doc trusted everyone in the group rather easily once he found out they were good people, witch didn't take long. not two months >.> And besides, we can't really complain about how long somethings take. before the story closed, we had spent a year on two in game days.

    But a protraction gun isn't using it's life force to shot so it doesn't need a magic stat. The character is using a form of magic that has a cost to use and a casting time. And I am not asking you to put 10 or 5 points into arcana...just one little point, I don't think that is too much to ask for.

    Shino wrote:That's what I was saying. Him and RD had some beef, and only him and RD.

    Ok, the only reason why I thought it would be cool if RD and Doc/Jericho would of met in the past is because of two reasons. One, he was coming in the the RP a bit late and wanted his character to have a reason to meet up with the group and stay. Two, I know RD in RL. We both talked a long time about this before he even joined. We disused the past events of how they met and why they parted. I have talked to RD, Geek, and The Rabbit, They agree with me in thinking that there isn't a reason for our characters to have met.
    I had thought we had moved past the topic of characters having to know each other, but i guess not. I don't mean to sound rude, but I don't want to change my character and the backstory just to make it easier for people. Part of the fun for me was getting to know the characters that I was traveling with. It takes some of the fun and magic away from...well any game when you start it up, and it just says 'You know theses five people because of veg reasons.'

    Think of it like Final Fantasy 6. Yes, some of the main characters knew some of them, but not everyone knew everyone. a large part of the fun was traveling around the fantasy world, learning about the characters and their past. They didn't know each other at first, but at the end, they were all a family.

    I am going to stop here because I don't want this to sound like a rant. I am also going to wait for the others to read and say something before I post again.

    Okay so as far as this whole 'characters knowing each other thing.' allow me to settle the issue on my character right now...

    B) ...Famous... *Puts on shades and kicks back*

    xD Honestly I was kinda cruising on that excuse for my character until RD put up a scenario about me stopping him from stealing some money when we're at the festival and I figured that reason to meet is as good as any...might be some more spitballing on the subject as time goes on, but for now Imma just hang onto this fame krutch I got going.

    Also it may be kinda douchey of me but I'm gonna chime back in on DelaKayte's character here before the issue grows into too big an argument. okay so I will admit this mostly started due to me questioning the balance of the character, I know it seems dumb since I advocated for the creativity of characters on the last page, and balance shouldn't really be a huge issue in a co-op RP. I asked about the arcana issue earlier and figured I'd let it go when it was answered because it wasn't really my place to run a Q&A and nitpick the character, At the same time though, I try to make sure my character's stats represent how he's going to play in the RP, and that they're at least somewhat restricting. You have to admit having a character that can summon magical weapons and charge them with magical elements while also influencing people's emotions and summoning a magical barrier, while having no skill in magic whatsoever is kinda powerful. I mean I have 0 in acrana and I was planning on using nothing even slightly magical. Right now I imagine Atsuko to be easily the strongest character in the RP as her tats make up for every shortcoming she has. She has no arcana but she has elements, she has low social but can influence people. she has average endurance so she has a shield to protect her. She has sub par strength but her spear is indestructible and can be pretty easily resummoned if someone manages to get it away from her hands. She has the ability to be just as tanky as the tankier people in this setup while only spending a fraction of the points. And just to be clear I'm not saying this to get the character booted, I do think it is a creative idea and if nothing else, <///<' The avatar is fun to look at... But I just think maybe she could benefit from some balancing. 'kuz to be honest if you have someone that can keep up with our strengths and easily outplay our weaknesses, what do you need us for? What can we bring to the table that she can't? If people feel like either they can contribute, or matter little to none, they're going to walk away.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd rant end.

    Don't worry about it. This exact same thing happened with Frazil and I'm not going to spend the entire game having my every move picked apart to see if I'm powergaming. It's not worth the effort to defend about it constantly, nor do I think it fair that Yuki has to justify every little thing she allows me to do, when the rest of you are just as powerful in your character's areas of expertise, if not more so.

    Add to that, the fact that no-one in this group has any desire to include me in the storytelling, or in character backgrounds or in anything else really, you can consider this my resignation.

    I'm not angry, just don't have the time or energy to mess with it. I hope you all enjoy your game.

    Okay but that wasn't the point of what I was trying to say. I'm not trying to pick apart every little thing about your character, I'm just saying that the character's mechanics could use a second look, it's not that you're good at your character's expertise, it's that you're good at what your character DOESN'T have any expertise in. I wasn't trying to edge you or anyone else out of the RP. Frazil had these issues too because she had very little limitations and very few weaknesses. And while maybe she was treated differently because of this, I had every intention of coming into this RP with a clean slate, and treat everyone equally. I'm not expecting you to have to defend your character every step of the way over every little thing, but a character shouldn't be able to excel at everything.

    I was honestly just trying to give some constructive criticism, there's no reason to drop everything in it's entirety when all that's being asked is just maybe taking another look at the character to see if she could be balanced out a little better instead of being the best at almost everything.
