Okay, good, good...you've got me SOLD on this. Just one more question before I make my profile. First of all, you say the berserker only knows one skill: berserk. You also say we get to make 15 skills. Which of these is true?

The Berserker is a 'special' class. Berserk would be their first skill, period. Huge attack and speed boost, but all they can do is basically attack brutally as fucking possible for three or so turns. [they could attack on the same turn it's cast]

That said, the other 14 abilities are useless while in this state. Unless there passive self buffs. You also have to remember that the Berserker only has very little Mana so you wouldn't be able to use abilities to much anyway. Berserk itself would most likely count as a freebie mana cost wise.

So there are no "physical" skills, such as a spinning, lunging, or stunning attack with a weapon?

You could use those, and they would be 'extremely' powerful in comparison to other classes. But you might only get to use them on occasion or in a special[read "boss"] fight because you saved it for just then.

That said though, when berserk you could attack two or three times a round easy.

You could also edit the class' stats a bit to up the mana pool so you would have enough to use said skills. Really, its up to you and how you want to the character go.

Firefox at my post. TWICE.

User Name: Shin Majin

Character's Name: Richter Walcher (goes by "Rick.")

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Bio: Richter was born to a middle-class family, which he still lives with. Throughout his life, he's had minimal social interaction outside of a small circle of friends. He is currently on his third year at a junior college, and works a part-time job.

Personality: Something of a nerd, Richter is intelligent, but shy and socially awkward. He is a gentile and sensitive person, who disdains real-life fighting, whether physical or verbal. Virtual violence doesn't bother him in the slightest, though, and he's a full-blown video game addict.

Hm. I like the idea of the cool down. Ish good. Still needs a theme song[though this can wait a few weeks if needed XP] and you need to give the class stats 10 more points. The grand total of points 910. You just used up 900. If that makes sense.

Wait, what? Am I supposed to make the effects of my skills SPECIFIC? Are we using a definite combat system here?

Sorta. Ish. But not really. There will be rounds, and based on a class's speed will determent how many actions you can take in a post in a round. Nothings iron clad though. And by action I mean attacking something and ripping it a new one with all post haste violence and carnage. Or rushing in to defend the pretty maiden with your own body, yatta yatta.

In short, the speed stat just prevents speed hacking in a fight when they come. Besides that though, its more or less old fashion RPing with the class stats and levels acting as guide lines to keep in mind.

If things seem really specific its because they act more like a mental reminder of just how strong or what effect it has.

That clear it up?

Almost. If a given speed means a certain number of moves...how much speed equals how many moves?

Anyway, unless directed to do otherwise, I think I'm going to hold back on posting until Joey! posts. People tend to explode if they get left behind much, and I'm against people exploding.

Lol, I'm waiting for everyone to post again before moving us. Jack's post mark a round.

As for speed, in short, every 100% is one full action a turn. Less means you never get but one action a round, higher and you can have two once in a while. To low though and you would only get one action every round or two, so that would be frowned upon but possible. At the max of 200% you have two actions every round. Again, its mostly still just a guide line.

User Name: MoonDancer

Character's Name: Kyra Saiger

Age: 21

Gender:
Female

Bio: Kyra is a sophomore at college, majoring in technological programming. She grew up in a small town, and for a contrast (and a new life) moved to a big city, where she is barely scraping by in an apartment. Both her brother and her father work in the military, essentially leaving her mother to raise Kyra as an only child. In high school, Kyra lived on the dangerous side of things, and lived a very immoral life with a lot of wild parties, drugs and alcohol. Thanks to her brother (who is now someone she looks up to), she examined her life and after high school, she promised him she would re-invent herself. This resulted in her move away from everything she had ever known. She is trying to live a new life, with academics as the main point.

Personality: Kyra used to be a wild child, but has become somewhat isolated over her college years. She has a calm personality, and is a very friendly person. She is a music junkie, being able to spout off random facts about artists, songs, and genres at will. However, she is majorly insecure about who she is, and as a result is VERY introverted. She really doesn’t have any friends, even though she’s in her second year at college. She is very quiet, but in her silence she is able to observe almost everything about her environment, with precise attention to detail, which makes her a wonderful computer programmer. She has no confidence, except in the online world, where she can be whoever she wants. That’s why, when she isn’t studying or composing music, she is online, talking to strangers and programming games. When she heard about the need for people to test this new virtual world, she jumped at the chance.

Ugh...SLK, shouldn't you take that to the Spam forum? I mean, here, it contributes nothing to the discussion and just clutters things up.

I think I am something of a trend starter. x)

My character introduces himself by his username and then everyone does. I wonder if everyone is going to pick up on the other thing I did as well...

Anyway, could you possibly add a collection of the characters on one of the first posts? I'm having difficulty remembering who is who, and it is a bit of a hassle to hunt down everyone's character posts. =/

Post. Everything is round based. Basically, if I post as Jack, which can be taken as a GM post, then you can post once before I do so again. This is done to keep everyone in the same time slot and so no one gets left behind.

Luna can also move the round if I'm being lazy or can't get on.

The only time anyone will be skipped or left behind is if they haven't posted in long while and everyone else is getting dragged down waiting on them. A long while is described in the the rules section of the first OOC post.

Also, for anyone who cares, I am technically just the Co-GM. But Luna has a thing about not checking OOCs... <_<

Technically speaking, if we were playing with say 6 people, and we play it the way we are now, then if someone were to be the second one to post on the first round and the fifth one to post the second there would be nine other posts between that person's first two. Does that make sense? It may seem like they are getting left behind, but in actuality they are not.
