@Sliv: I mean circular saws. enjoy a ****** paint representation.
@Nero: Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, that the setting should be more advanced than medieval. I guess my wording was bad, but yes definitely there should be a greater level of technology (like magitech stuff I guess)

Age: 20
Race: Human-Golem chimera
Class: Fighter
Abilities: close range combat; super strength; knows a lot about monsters
Personality: calm and pragmatic; stays focused on her job; doesn’t express emotions beyond being methodical; terrible social skills; can anger others with her lack of empathy
Weaknesses: inability to socialize and feel emotions; water
Theme Song: “Dark a Liar” by Rengoku-Teien (here)
Picture/Appearance: coming soon
Ada is a Human-Golem chimera who lives with the Golem race, but previously was part of a small guild of vicious hunters. She had been sold to this guild and bred into a lethal monster hunter at a young age. She remembers being told that her alcoholic mother sold her in exchange for a day’s worth of liquor. That incident was the first sign of her closing her heart to the world...
When she was eight, Ada was sent to the Golem territory to investigate monster movements when she was betrayed and abandoned to die during an earthquake. The Golems found her near death, her brain severely damaged from falling rocks. They took her back and used the fusion process that has been experienced in recent years to merge her body with a baby Golem, saving her life. Unfortunately, Ada’s limbic system was forever damaged and could not be repaired even by the best healers, so she is incapable of feelings and empathy. She knows what emotions are for others, but cannot experience them herself. Ada also lost vision in her right eye, and the fusion accidentally caused a skull fragment to be fused on that side of her face, which is adorned with a diamond in the eye socket. On the Golem elders’ strict orders, Ada hides this with an eyepatch if she has to meet with other people.
The Golems’ greatest fear is that Ada will mistake the other sentient races as monsters and kill them without hesitation. They decide not to let Ada communicate with the other races unless necessary, as they fear no one will understand her circumstances. They send her out on monster hunts while searching for clues about the recent onset of mutated creatures. The Golems submit her findings to other races to provide valuable information regarding the uncharted wilderness.
In battle, she has talent in close range combat and possesses super strength. She is also a walking monster encyclopedia who has hunted countless types of beasts during her whole life. The abundance of terrestrial energy has caused new monsters to appear that she’s not familiar with, which piques her curiosity – some of them have been recorded to be chimeras just like her. Another result from the fusion process is that she will lose her strength around water. It is Ada’s (and the Golem race’s) biggest weakness, so she refuses to take baths, go out during rainy weather, or ride on boats.
Ada enjoys her life and doesn’t concern herself with anything complicated. She is simplistic like a Golem, but remains calm and thoughtful like a Human. But she is so pragmatic and logical that others may easily be insulted. Ada hasn’t had much social contact and will come off as strange and heartless. Perhaps Ada is lonely from not talking with fellow Humans for so long, but she no longer has a mind capable of understanding that loneliness. |
The bio looks fine to me, I mean there's no concrete setting to bounce it against but there's nothing alarming there.
Couple things with this type of app though: I think the Class, Abilities, Weaknesses, and Theme Song fields are kinda useless. Well maybe there can be a thing for describing abilities, but the others can just be integrated in the personality and biography sections. What I think the app should look like,
Name:
Age:
Race:
Appearance: (words are better than pictures IMO unless you're using original art)
Personality:
Biography:
Equipment:
Abilities:
Misc. Information:
this kind of standard has been used with success in the past, and covers everything we've decided upon so far. How's this look, everyone?

I think that standard CS setup works pretty well. I've been able to fill out half of it for my character (going to be using original artwork as well for the appearance + description of the coloring and other things, cuz I just don't have time to color it). Biography and below is what I have left to fill (excluding the bio, I should be able to get the rest done during the weekend).

I've been thinkin about jumpin back into RP stuff. I'll be watchin this if you guys get it off the ground. Seems like you all have the creation under control, so I'm gonna stay out of the creation process. Probably couldn't help out much anyway

| Kind of just waiting for folks to post PC bios and for Grim (or someone) to set up a world to RP in. I'd be willing to write the storyline and sign-up guideline post if needed, as long as I get some details PM'ed to me. |

well I'm not writing anything concrete until there's a good amount of the setting on paper, as I plan on creating a new OC instead of recycling. I'd imagine most people are waiting as well.

It's usually common to wait until the RP host posts the story background and everything before you even submit a character.
Also, HI ARCHER :3

So far, I've decided on equipment, gender, age and looks, in that order.
I'm still pondering the name, and I've got nothing whatsoever regarding personality/ background info as of yet. I was indeed planning to wait and see what Grim would do.
@Archer: Nice Paint presentation btw, very informative.

Uh, is it a bad idea if I also try to put up a RP of my own? I don't know if it's a good idea to have two RPs going on consecutively. But I'll just put up some notes here anyway just for reference.
I decided to scrap that Fire Emblem RP I had planned in order to do something a bit smaller and personalized for a start. Ironic, considering how we managed to get a lot more people involved so miraculously.
Coming up with a few drafts here and there, I wanna go for something simple in nature but also have a relatively dark setting (though is there ever a RP that isn't set in a crapsack world?). I'm probably devoting a little too much time considering I'm simultaneously working on both writing the story and illustrating key locations as well as designing the individual races. It'll probably take forever considering real life is a party pooper and I am also lazy.
The basic premise is that the story takes place on a cursed peninsula and a group of travelers (a.k.a., the heroes) are brought there and become trapped in some sort of weird paradox loop where the entire land is destined to perish over and over again. The group are met with the task of trying to find a way to break this land out of this destructive cycle so they can leave and head back to their normal lives. It'll have some survival horror elements as the group will face colossal-sized threats and rely solely on conventional means of fighting.
This is just a rough draft of what I had in mind. I'm trying to avoid cliches but also trying not to alienate from the norms of RPing. |

It's not really a bad idea per say
but
you have to take into consideration that the RP section here in general has been kind of dead and non-existent for a very long time thanks to the time warp that happened. To be quite honest, I am amazed that this is even happening now. It's great that we are finally getting something up and running in the RP section, but honestly, I would advise again having another RP. At least until this one gets started and we see how many posts it gets. It would be rather silly to have two RP's going at the same time in this case. If it were way before the time warp, I would say go ahead, but this is the only active thread in forever.
It's not like the good old days of GM and Augla. Most of the big posters in this section don't come around anymore. I myself am shocked to see Psychon and dmn ha
You're fee to do what you want, but I wouldn't push the luck

I agree with HotFire. I left the forums after Tales of Zonthera died, and I have no idea what this time skip business is all about. I only poked back here once in a while to see if any more RPs sprung up, and happened upon this one by chance.
This forum is a graveyard. We're just testing the waters with this RP to see if there's still people interested in RPing. |
