DDD Out of Character Thread; The OoC thread

So, here is the OoC thread for my Dungeons: the Dragoning thread.

To give you a sense of what I'd like to do, here are some rumors you might hear around Sigil.

-The Dragon Clan of the Eladrin has fallen to war once more. This time, the Dark Dragon branch has gained ascendance, and gained control over five of the Clan's seven holy relics of St. Maria Sophia.

-The United Reploid Republic has been condemned by the United Human Nations as an unlawful state, and a trio of Maverick Hunters has been sent to assassinate their leaders. No sightings of THAT REPLOID have occurred, though.

-Strange sightings of bizarre insects that have attached themselves to people with unusual power. These beings, though, are rare, but the power they grant their hosts is real enough: the city of Rim Elm was annihilated by one such duo.

-A new celebrity religion has arisen: the Faith of the True Path of Azure Bliss. Headed by Hieronymous Carpainter, the simple faith has attracted millions with its promise of peace and acceptance. However, some have wondered if the simple, humble leader has ulterior motives.

Hope that helps. Although, if you have your own ideas, feel free to post theme, too!

hmmm....... I've been hearing a lot of rumors about Azure Bliss, but I really don't trust how "Peaceful" I've heard it is. I've heard that they're getting a lot of wealthy sponsors for their activities........ but I haven't heard of them actually doing anything with that money. Maybe there's a scam going on?

Sorry for the delay in getting back. Also, tell me if I should have been posting this in the main thread - I wasn't sure.

I've a character concept coming together to run past you to ensure it doesn't violate going concerns. Specifically, an Eldarin who was deemed to have failed the test of self-sufficiency.
Having left his home ship at physical maturity (I'm undecided on gender as yet, though I'm leaning toward male), this Eldarin encountered a Dragonborn warrior, who, as a result of some vow that my Eldarin can't understand, decides to teach him some physical combat skills.
Having learned these, and seeing their potential, eager to take these back to his home ship, my Eldarin finds that the skills aren't deemed of worth there, and, knowing that he'd be facing execution for failure, voluntarily exiles himself instead.
Not feeling able to retain his ship name, he instead takes as a surname the name of his Dragonborn teacher, and shuns all other Eldarin. As such, he is scornful regarding the war among the Dragon Clan of the Eldarin. Who cares if they're gathering the holy relics? (Perhaps an Intolerance hindrance?)
He's somewhat concerned about the United Human Nations, though - he doesn't feel any race should have the right to ban another race's attempts at internal peace.

Provided this is okay so far, I'll proceed to complete the character. One thing I wanted to check was - may my Eldarin know Draconic obscenities?

That's fine, Brownie. Although, are you wanting your mentor as a support character?

I imagine that the Dragon Clan probably wouldn't be too fond of your character, either, being a baby-man fence-sitter by their understanding. Also, you want to get involved with the United Reploid Republic? Hohohoho~.

As per Draconic obscenities, yeah, that's fine, too. Feel free to invent some if you get some inspiration.

No, not as a support character - I just wanted to unbalance my character's upbringing somewhat. He'll have picked up skills, but the Dragonborn he met was unallianced and a wanderer.

I can't imagine any of the Eldarin clans liking him, frankly, with their take on euthanasia of the unworthy.
Not necessarily getting involved with the Reploids, but putting the humans in their places perhaps. They are, after all, new.

Okay, I'll get to finalising the rest of the character in my mind - expect detail soon.

I wanna do something like a Reploid but how would I do that? Promethean Exaltation and reskin the rest to suit?

I want to be a Reploid peacekeeper in the new state, who questions their conscious decision to rebel (and thus be viewed as Maverick) but won't leave his people so easily without proof of real wrongdoing. Maybe Brownie's character could meet mine during his travels, since they both seem worried about the same things? I was also thinking of a friend of his having left her post as navigator at the peacekeeper corps. in order to pursue her newfound faith in Azure Bliss.

...

It was that or a laborious Five Nights at Freddy's joke.

Thoughts?

If I were to try to make a Reploid, I'd pick human with Promethean Exaltation and fluff them as being an incredibly advanced android/gynoid. That's what the Reploids were intended to be, right?

I'll have to defer to Jeff on this one. I'm absolute shit at Megaman.

I think your backstory is great, and think that you two both being outcasts would add a lot to the synergy.

If you want to have a Freddy's appear? Why not? We could do that.

well, since we're posting stuff here apparently, I've been chatting with Dietaku a bit and decided to have a Dragon-Blooded Elf aligned under Tzeentch, and a member of The Players Club, who I've named Wyver, for obvious and maybe a bit cliché reasons, although I'm undecided on gender and background, and I'm going to have my work cut out for me deciding what organizations to associate with, although I presume he/she'll have some stake in the Reploids vs Humans thing, if only as betting fodder because of The Players Club, and will attempt to manipulate the result in his/her favor, giving us all a common meeting point.
-edit: I almost forgot to mention, he/she's going to be a Magitek Gunner-
is there a specific number of organizations I should stick to, and would it be ok if I do it as deciding upon plot convenience? also, is one of us having a starship for all of us to use, or are we going to have to find pilots? and if we do have a starship of our own, a) who's captain? and b) personal vehicles would be stored in Cargo Space right?
-edit 2: basically what I mean is, if I'm given, say, 10 organization limit (expecting less, tbh), then would I be able to decide if I'm associated with an organization when I come upon it, if it's convenient for any of us if i do so?-
-edit 3: also, as I'm in players club, who bet pretty much anything and everything, could a bet loss be the reason I travel with you guys, No Game, No Life style? idc who "loses" the bet, if its even used as my "reason" for being with a couple of characters that I don't have the "outcast" synergy with. cause outcast of a chaos god? *shudders*-

Organizational limit? Are you referring to the limit on backing dots? I'll allow you as many as you like, so long as you know that all of them are going to expect things from you, so keep that in mind, Mr. Wyver. When you're in deep cover, you need to keep it right or get burned.
