Holy Bonkers Firestarter, if I altered my bio slightly our histories would almost line up. Not in the sense Rafti was a slave or something but the house he found and how the land around it was fire scarred.

Ok, so my guy can't change into any shape at will, I get to select one shape he can turn into, that what you're saying? Like say "Shadow Dragon" he can only turn into that, not a shadow dog or something else? 'cause if he can only take one shape aside from his human form, it'll take some thinking for me to decide what one shape I want him to be.

Your character can access any shape at will, but I'm talking about like a powered up or special form you want.

Hrmm... I'm starting to get a little concerned...

Some of these characters appear incredibly powerful for simply starting characters... If I am interpreting Firestarter correctly, each of his characters 'personalities' has a different ability, amounting to two abilities for all intents and purposes? And Twisted's character gets an 'ultimate, powered-up' form on top of already being able to transform anyway...?

I'm not complaining necessarily. People like having mighty characters - everyone does - hell I like them too. Just see my Lust character in Firetstarter's Sins RP for proof. It's just that, from what you were saying earlier on Juicesir, it sounded like we had to earn the strength of our powers over time, rather than begin as Gods...

Just a tiny concern. I'm sure you've got things under control. And I mean no disrespect to anyones characters - they are all brilliant. I love the unique nature of Firestarter's DID character, and the history of Twisted's character was good and raw and dark; an excellent fit for his character. I hope I haven't stepped on any toes. If we were supposed to start out in all our mightiness, then that's my mistaken interpretation, and I apologise. I just can't fathom some of these character's getting stronger over time on top of what they already are.

I'll be sticking around until it starts, either way. Don't over-do yourself Juicesir.

Hmmmm, your remarks represent a valid concern for the balance of play in the game. In such a world where the enemies are so weak and pitiful as I have created them and your characters are so powerful and constantly growing as you have made them, however will the enemy be able to cope with a more powerful group of starting adventurers? How will the swarms of pitiful low level creatures I have carefully crafted ever hope to stand against the onslaught of your first level might? The answer is simple: they will not.

Unless...

Unless I, the GM, ruler and creator of this imagined realm and world, didn't make extremely weak and pathetic enemies for the PC's to fight and instead made matching challenges which would try the might of your supposedly all powerful characters, pushing them to their known limits and constantly threatening them with death. Unless I have been secretly crafting beasts and encounters which will more than match your character's abilities and test your powers as players to navigate them through the horror my mind has wrought.

But this is all only hypothetical. I of course haven't spent the last day identifying each of your character's weaknesses and targeting to exploit them, crafting possible story arcs in such a way that would try your abilities and known reasoning. I haven't secretly been plotting ways to ruin your characters lives and make their journey to rescue the clutch an impossibly heroic task to accomplish. That's something along the lines of what a villain would do. I'm not a villain.

...am I?

I honestly just wanted to be in this role play mostly for the story. I didn't really intend to go badass and kill people (unless required for story that is, he has a goal, I have to keep that in mind for him.) I just went with the Murk because I figured it was a little easier to not die if other players did go batshit and want to kill him.



I'm not a good player vs player role player, I like to be a little too crafty sometimes. I quit player vs player role playing way back. I got into way too many arguments about what was legal and not, and it just led to trouble. In many of the role plays, I would be playing against power players, and I would be forced to make up insane nearly impossible dodges and stuff to survive.

Figured with a Murk, the ability to dodge most stuff is already there, A: Just don't be seen. B: Turn into mist or something so small they can't hit you easily. or C: if all else fails, turn into the most gihugic beast you can imagine and eat all their heads off and nom their bodies. lol.

It'll definitely be about strategy. For some people, they're gonna have a beast of a good time. Others will be able to be tacticians and fuck a lot with people. And it's all story decided. No stats you have to know. So just know that.

Okay.

Here's the deal.

Downside? This weekend's going to be a bitch for me.

Upside? This roleplay will be started by next weekend. I will review all characters this next week, tell you if any changes are needed, and if we are not started and do not have an IC by the end of next weekend you can all feel free to shun me forever.

Well, I think his history is believable. A dwarf that is willing to become an outcast to find the saving grace for his race makes an interesting character at any rate.

As for armor and weapons, if his style is fencing, he's going to need lighter armor then most dwarves, even if he is able to physically bear it, because he needs to be able to move quickly. You could change the typical hide armor to that of a human hide. Certainly that would fit in with his hatred of the plainspeople.

Weapon wise, perhaps you could make it plausible that he can wield a heavier sword than the typical fencer's blade because of his dwarven strength, hours of practice, etc. Swashbuckling might be a better style though; with fencing I think of poking people to death.

Just a few thoughts, but I think he's nifty.

Oak armor is something the Skadm tend to use. Pliable, well-shaped, and a ready resource, it's like leather only a bit tougher and similar in some ways to stone. As for a weapon, a scimitar is always fun. :3

I like the concept and roguishness so far.

Once upon a time my computer was a old bitchy woman with Alzheimer's who neither liked me nor remembered me. And it wasn't fun dealing with her.

I will do my best to get this shit up and running this week but if you don't hear from me for days at a time that's because I'm taking this piece of shit out back and killing the fuck out of it.

Office space style.

Alright.

So after 150 hours of running a scrub program for my hard drive nothing has changed, so I'm just gonna cash in on the three year warranty I have on this piece of shit and go ahead and get a new computer. I am absolutely sorry to you all for the amount of time I have had you wait for this to be put up. Whenever I get my computer I will then send you guys each your additional bios and needed info and then we'll get this thing running.

I have edited the 'weapons' and the 'other possessions' sections of my profile so that my character will stand a bit more of a chance with the others. I am still contemplating my power, given what I want goes against your rule of 'it must affect only your character'. I may pm you shortly.
