Worked in a pic for Darius and Ruby. I'll try to get a picture for Ms. Crab Lady's shack next post, maybe one of the inn and definitely one for the forest hut. Eyestalks not to scale (they're about half that size lol).

Urhr93 Wrote:Sure ^^

I don't know if i should be worried or not xD well, anyway i'm eager to see what happened XD


A bit of both probably.

Also, pics for Phoenix and Red!

It didn't come out as well as I had hoped...

The second one is the prototype dress I had planned to use (w/bracers added) before going full-on kimono there.

I've got some stuff I planned to do today, but I'll try to get a post up this evening/morning.

So do we still get maps or am I going to get lost in the woods for real? I'll start burning trees if I have to :P

Triple-threat Triana Attack!

Incredible work! These all look so awesome, I love how elegant she looks in the Original, but in a practical adventuring sense #2 would be the best in the wilds I think

Would it be possible to use #2 in scenes when She's out adventuring and the Original whenever she is visiting a town perhaps?

Well, I don't know what you've hoped for, but I think it's perfect :) That's just about what I've had in mind
If it takes me two weeks or more to respond to a RP without prior notice, send me a PM. It's more likely I've missed the last post, forgot or got distracted and need a little reminder rather than deciding to drop the game without warning.

Woo! I can post without moderation now! Also, it had occurred to me that I never specified where Shura's "birthmark" is located. Unless it interferes with something already planed, it is on his right hand, covered up by bandages/hand wraps. I'll make note of it on my character submission.

Added in Orcs/Orgs, Gnolls, Goblins, Kobolds, Locathah, Wereboars, and Werebears.

Let me just say that Gnolls are fucking evil sadistic no-good very rotten horrible creatures that you really don't want to run into alone unless you're a masochist, while kobolds, for instance, are more or less a joke unless you happen to run into a swarm of them.

Reaver Wrote:So do we still get maps or am I going to get lost in the woods for real? I'll start burning trees if I have to :P


Psh, who needs maps! Yes I'll try to make a rough map for the woods and post an updated map next post lol

Yeah. Since the outfit is made of silk we could just say she scrunches/rolls it up and wraps a vine/string/etc. around the base to keep it out of the way while in the wilds. Want to do that?

That_One_Guy Wrote:Still taking people? I'll join this.


I'm still taking people interested in a "single player" style RP, but I'm hoping to corrupt/kill off a few people (or wait for folks to go inactive) before I take on more people for "group adventures." You can run into groups, but you won't start out trying to get integrated into one.

Biggest difference is that by yourself you'll be much more vulnerable to monsters/corruption/death, but will be able to get through RP at your own pace while in groups your RP speed will be reliant on your partners and how fast (or slow) they post. I can handle single folks really easily, it's the big groups that are like "omgwtfbbq" when I run into 'em. lol

Awesome.

Sweeeet.

Name: Lord Garian Jorell
Age: 32
Gender: male
Race: Human
Appearance: Short black hair with strands down to his eyes. Sky-blue eyes, tanned skin. wears near all black (coat, boots, pants, gloves, etc) and a white shirt. His entire torso is scarred from the battles he has seen.
Class: Warrior

Traits:
Exiled Prince: Once was the heir to a throne, now he is viewed as a pretender, but this also helped him see the world and learn from it (+2 Endurance, -2 to speaking to Nobility)

Honorable: He will not attack a downed opponent, will help those that ask of him to help, and will never turn anyone away unless they mean to do harm. (+2 Charisma, -2 intelligence)

Strong: His body is like iron, strong and hard to break, the scars of battle also hardened his skin. The swings of his sword are said to bring down the mightiest of foes and break the hardest of blades, but those are just stories...right? (+3 Strength, -3 Agility)

Bio: Garian was the Heir to a throne, loved by his people and respected by the military, even leading them personally on several skirmishes and battles, never caring about death, dying, or his future, only about the thrill. When word came his father died unexpectedly, he found himself tried for treason for a crime he didn't commit and lost his inheritence to those that did commit the crime. Exiled from his lands, he became a shell of what he used to be for a time. He felt a scathing hatred for the nobility class and how they would stab one another in the back. He became a mercenary, helping people that needed it, sometimes for no money, as long as he was given something else like food. Now and then, he would fend off an attack by the actual pretenders, trying to kill him to be sure he never came back, but he always came out alive and stronger than before. Now, escaping his lands, he took a ship to Mesh'La, hoping to continue his journeys and to help those that need it as well. The one thing he grew a bond with there, more than anything, was the god 'Myrdur' the god of war, judgement, and justice. The three things he will bring back against the pretenders once he was done with this country.

Equipment:
Starting set of clothes (written above in description) with a black studded leather under his coat (but above his shirt)
A longsword with rune-like writing on both sides
A change of clothes
30 feet of rope
Two torches
Flint and Firestone (pyrite, iron, steel, etc.)
Small whetstone
Warm blanket
Cooking Gear
Six day's rations
Bedroll
A Waterskin
Starter Weapon (as specified by the class)
3 rolls of bandages

I'll work on it tonight, but the next post probably won't go up until tomorrow afternoon from the looks of things since I gotta get up early to drive my little sister to school. Sorry! :oops:

That_One_Guy Wrote:-snip-


Approved! You'll start out with 25 talons (20 talons if you take the buckler with your starting weapon). I'll fit yah into the next post.

Exiled prince will apply normally, the intelligence thing on Honorable will count towards certain perception checks. Strength/Agility is a little powerful for a human, so I'd like to nerf it to a standard +2/-2.

+4 is about the max folks should be getting bonus-wise in combat since +2/3 is veteran-level skill, +4 is naturally gifted/serious veteran in combat, while +5 is considered hero-level strength (or specific races like orcish PCs), and +6 is legendary/with heavy magical influence.

You'll start out with the following techniques...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Defensive Neutral; If specified beforehand, you can choose to enter a defensive neutral stance. All attacks made against you are at a -1 penalty, and you receive no penalty to reflexes when a sexual grapple is attempted.

Rallying Cause; When facing multiple enemies, you can choose to A. Impart your fighter wins-on-ties bonus to an available ally per enemy (you must specify whom), or B. gain a temporary +1 bonus to HP per enemy that must be split between surrounding allies to a maximum of +2 per person (you must specify whom when it doesn't split evenly)



And no problem, Red!



EDIT: I lied about that sleeping thing... Lol.


EDITEDIT: Y'know what? Screw that group play limitation. Go ahead and send in applications if yah folks are interested in joining still.

On the bright side with how things move relatively fast, that won't be too long (in fact it already happened I think).

Alrighty, no problem. I think Shura's got your back there.

Depending on how things go I might add in a scene or two as an easter egg when investigating tombs and ruins. Technically Corrupted Honor takes place after the "completion of the purge" 100 years in the future (in actuality the church killed off a number of monsters and said "screw it" with the small pockets remaining after clearing out a ton of forest), so realistically all our humans/orcs would be either extremely old or dead. They might make an "appearance" though if some of their actions coincide with places our intrepid mercenaries are exploring! ("Hey Freya, look at this pile of bones. It looks like their pelvis fractured." :twisted: )

But yeah I'll give yah a heads up if there is. That project is pretty slow moving since it's one of those "when I feel like working on it" projects.

Also, damnit! I actually had an idea in mind for that scene, but Ruby is *ahem* giving her friend more encouragement to go straight to other activities. :lol: I'll resort to the dice gods' judgment in these regards.



I'm going to grab some grub and work on pictures.

Well, i'm hoping for the easter eggs XD and maybe for the sons or grandsons? *-* i'm already visualizing a ruby look-alike with wolf ears and dual kodachi °O° yes, i'm getting ahead of myself XDDD

As for the scene, you are free to make it go like you want XD after all, it's *cough* not *cough* like Ruby wants him to mount her when she's on all fours XD

Ah, is there a presumed time for the next GM? i'm eager to see how it will be played out between them *-*

Probably not until later this evening. I might get a post out before then, but I've gotta babysit my sister's fiance's little brother while his older brother is fixing our car's alternator. Can't be working on anything too saucy with children around who could possibly look at the screen. :shock:

I remember I was getting my alternator fixed by my friend (who was a mechanic), his father (Also a mechanic, a good one at that) came out and asked what kind of car it was, when we told him the make and model (mitsubishi Mirage) He laughed, looked at us and said 'Good luck, motherfuckers." Then left. We had a laugh until we realize what he meant and spent a good 2 days fixing the car.
