A new chapter disscussion and characters

[Misha]

welcome, Zaix

 

[sacridshadow]

lol I forgot this was invite only. XD

 

[Zaix]

Ok so I've come up with some stuff but I wanted to run his abilities by everyone.

Name: Zachary Maverick

Eyes: Green with silver flecks

Hair: Silver

Race: Half-Djini

Abilities: Pyrokineticist, rune master, and blacksmith

Back story: Zach was born to a human mother and Djini father. . At the age of 9 he started working at a blacksmith shop. By the time he was 16 he could run the shop himself and did most of the work. At 17 his mother passed away, so he went and worked full time at the shop. At 19 a rune master happen to be looking for a good sword at the shop he was working in and noticed his work. He offered to teach him the art of rune crafting. He took up the offer. So he spent the 6 years learning the ways of rune crafting. He is now 26 and set himself up a small shop on the outskirts of Nexus.

Goal: Have complete mastery of his abilities

Likes: Fire, Metal, and forests

Dislikes: Ignorant people, oceans, and greedy people

He was only an apprentice for a short period of time? In mideival days, they started at 10, or younger. :/
If he has a goal of making a living, and a name, why set up in the desert? It'd be more sensible to set up near various towns and cities, and freelance there. How many people manage to find their way to a blacksmith in a desert? (How many go in the right direction?)

As for his likes and dislikes... Seeing as fire killed his mother, I would think he would have some sort of mental scarring, and not like or appreciate fire, and his ability to control them (He'd begin to think he caused it)

I don't see a reason he'd dislike cities, other than the crowds and maybe the noise. But that is where the work is, and many other blacksmiths dwell in cities, so competing with them from far away would not make for good prophets. :/

[If you can explain the reasons for these, that would help]


As for his abilities, I think they are quite alright! I look forward to a Pyro-kineticist.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Agreed with Var for the most part. Although I don't mind where he'd set up shop. Maybe the shop is in a key section of the desert? Like where people would stop. Although a blacksmith in that area would be a bit... well kind of pointless and troublesome.

 

[sacridshadow]

not only is it pointless, he'd make no money. Nobody is going to buy heavy equipment in the desert. They're not stupid. Also, why does he want to kill his father? He might have left for a reason, and even if he did leave them behind and never returned, what makes you thik that that's worth killing him for? It's not like he murdered a lot of people and stole from them.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

I personally don't think its a problem if he's willing to kill his father, that's up to him to do or not to do. His story regarding his father can be further built, I mean the fact that he left his child and wife is bound to build up unpleasant feelings in the child, which could lead to his mission to go kill?

 

[Zaix]

I'm still working on him that was just a idea to what yall thought about his abilities. I'm actually working on a different back ground and his likes and dislikes. I don't like it myself but that was just something to give everyone a idea of him. I'll edit it when I actually come up with something better. The reason I had cities as one of his dislikes though is due to his dislike of ignorant people, which would cause him to lose his temper thus making him want to use his abilites

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Planning to introduce a new character for me to use alongside my Knights, though it's still in the works its going to be something dragon-esque, something akin to Deathwing but on a lesser scale. Will come back later with more information regarding that.

 

[Misha]

too many dragons...

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Dragons are <3 xD

Don't think of it AS dragons though. Shape of a dragon yes, but a dragon, no. Is what I'm thinking.

 

[Misha]

denied, seven

 

[InfiniteSeven]

w/e. I'm not going to be around here then, since I can't do the story I intended and since there's nothing for me to do anyway lol.

 

[Misha]

let me put it this way seven,
the most powerful char: dragon
The second most powerful char: dragon
Current nemesis: dragon
var's active char: dragon
forgotten ones: *varsaigen and sacridshadow* dragons
sacrid's "daughter": Dragon
whitefire: (my char) dragon!

so.. can it be anything BUT a dragon? XD;

EDIT: Cobra?

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Lol.... Well I find this rather hypocritical just by seeing your post so I'm just going to back off here. Seeya, will be back later probably when I have another idea.

 

[Misha]

... i'm seriously tired of this group...

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Well you're tired of it for lame reasons no offense.

I said I was backing off and leaving, never said anything about "taking over the group" as you state. I'm not even here often, and I'm not even stating how things should be done or anything. I just said I had an idea, you reject it (although rather questionable rationalization involved in my view BUT THAT'S JUST MY VIEW), I say I back off.

You are over reacting...

 

[varsaigen]

True. Seven is right. :/ I find that picking a dragon allows flexibility and area-wide movement. Being adept in magic, it comes more naturally to them. But my characters only rise to such immense levels of power because of how I used them and their abilities. Hellion rose unchallenged, unapposed. Hard to say he can't be powerful when I had to force a conflict.

Kalek is still learning the arcane, and thus allowing me to figure it out as well. He hardly has any such status of power as your archon. But he begins to rise based on how I use him.

It's called thinking outside the box. When I started Hellion, the elements were considered a joke. Now, fear is a real reaction, as I bend them to my every whim. The elements are a force to be reckoned with, and are surprisingly quite flexible. There's an element for every occassion. But it is how I use all this that brings me to the top time and again.

 

[varsaigen]

And because few, almost none stand in the way to oppose me, and other players, those with dragons search for the conflicts, and rise unhindered.

 

[sacridshadow]

Misha, if Infinite wants to have a dragon character, let her. She said it would be another character working ith the knights. That's a new twist to the dragon part where some dragons work with humans for a greater purpose. And seriously, dragons rule the world, so it's hard to believe everyone is going to be humans. They're the victims here. And misha, allowed me to put it this way so you can better understand it

the most powerful char: Hellion
The second most powerful char: Devilak
Current nemesis: Rhiannon
var's active char: Kalek
forgotten ones: *Hellion/Devilak* They replaced the hosts in the storyline.
sacrid's "daughter": In an attempt to boost my character's story and existance.
whitefire: (my char) After you got him from DarkIron

 

[Misha]

oh sure, let's rename this to "order of Dragons"

brb.. reshaping my archon and archonlings into dragons [/sarcasm]

 

[Mike7742]

I like being in the minority. Gives me some kind of a challenge. If I just wanted to be OP as hell I'd be something like a beholder, mind-flayer, dragon or something.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

The thing is dragons or anything else don't HAVE to be over powered. Nothing says they're the most powerful beings in the universe. Just because there ARE a few powerful ones doesn't mean they're overpowered, especially since they don't represent everyone in the species.

Also, Misha, don't be so immature. I'm not abandoning my previous human characters for any reason, I like them. I was just proposing to create a story and a character for them to interact with, not one to start killing everyone with or anything (and if anyone is going to get killed by it, it's going to be my Knights, not your archons).

At any rate, its not like it actually IS a dragon, like I said. I'm still developing that idea anyway so it wouldn't have been realized for some time.

 

[varsaigen]

I am all for properly developed plots. It's what I did with the first 400+ pages of the origional RP to build up my streangth and develop the character. It wound up creating and developing Hellion instead, and evolved into a scheme of world domination. With such a devoted plot to follow, I attempted to lure other players in (as they all asked for an antagonist) to oppose me. Unfortunately, they all escaped the clutches of my plot, and resolved to do other things. But in the end, I managed to force some fight out of everyone.

But what the RP really needs here is a plot. And sacrid is offering it to us on a silver platter. All we need to do is accept it. Call it a story arc. One can't always discuss everything out, or it no longer beomes roleplay, but a multi-player book.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

I'm not particularly familiar with whats been going on, so I might need a summary of what Sacrid is doing lol.

 

[sacridshadow]

lol In my plot, my character, Rhiannon, is trying to ressurect her king, as she is his queen, from his crystalised imprisonment. Revealing herself to the ARchon and the Void Lords, she leaves them guessing at her goals and plans on stealing the souls of the world for the ressurection. Just before the meeting with the Archon, she sent Wraiths and ghosts to suck the souls out of one of Misha's cities (the one that Sonya had just left, I think). Then she met with Devilak, who recognised her, and tried to calm her down, before she moved on to Hellion and escaped an attempted capture. Now she's moving to the Archon's capital and loosening the bonds between soul and body, so the archon won't notice.

I have great things in store for you guys, but it would require more interaction with my plot.

 

[varsaigen]

In short, Rhiannon is a riftwalker, a rare type of dragon capable of walking between dimensions. Her father, Lord Necronis, was one of the founding members of the Order of the Void, and the third and final dragon in the group. He was one of Void Lords who fell during the human uprising when the Void Lords ruled the planet.

He was ruler of the dead (an army that Devilak claimed after his death) and was a fearsome, brooding dragon with an affinity for necromancy.

Now, a thousand years after his fall, his daughter, Rhiannon, wants to ressurect her king and mate, Nefarion, by sacrificing the souls of the living to revive his own. Thus, she enacts her plans upon the three kingdoms of the world, but has yet to do more than speak to the Void Lords in their lands. Her first target is the Archon's lands.

She holds a grudge towards Devilak, for his claiming her father's army, which she believes is rightfully hers.

 

[varsaigen]

to keep it straight, Necronis is her father, and she was to inherit his lands and army upon his death, but Devilak swept in and claimed it all, adding it to his legion. She holds a grudge to this day and wants to reclaim her father's army.

Further lore about her and her mate, Nefarion is unknown, and will be expanded as the story arc unfolds.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Oh dear. My Knights will have their work cut out with all this but it sounds good =P

And due to this I've decided I'll only reveal one of the two characters I was planning originally, the other one will be saved for later story arcs.

 

[varsaigen]

Looking forward to it I like having multiple story arcs ready! (Without scripting everything beforehand)

 

[sacridshadow]

lol I hope you can be a part of the action seven. In fact, I hope everyone here wants to be a part of the action, as we all try to play eachother's story arcs one at a time. XD It helps keep the fun alive.

 

[Misha]

... and yet again i'm out-worded >.> lol

 

[Zaix]

Ok so I fixed my character. There was more to the back story but it the word limit is 1000 so I had to shorten it. Let me know what yall think

 

[sacridshadow]

If you need more space, just put in a second post. we do tat all the time.

 

[Zaix]

Eh it wasn't really important details. It was just filler info. Nothing really important. Besides if you have questions I can answer them

Also my character's info is on page 36

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Well, since its near Nexus I think Misha should make the call about the location. There's nothing bad but the info does lack depth since you were bound by the limit. You could do as Sacrid says and expand it into a second post.

 

[Zaix]

Well seeing as I can't find the file I typed this all into I'll have to do it later but I'll get it on here another time. If Misha doesn't want me there I'll go somewhere else to set up my shop xP

 

[Misha]

nexus is no longer safe to appear in, peeps

 

[Zaix]

T-T
Dagnabbit.....

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Well, Nexus did just become a war zone. There's Rhiannon taking souls and attacking Nexus, my Knights and Demon Hunter arriving to fight Rhiannon and then there's also Misha and his group ready to confront everyone and Kalek was nearby in another city burning it down.

 

[Zaix]

Yea I know, would have been a awesome place to start though

 

[InfiniteSeven]

Go ahead and start wherever you want. Just know that its going to be a war zone where you want to start so its guaranteed to be highly dangerous.

 

[sacridshadow]

Well, maybe you can be one of the people leaving the city. lol Start off as a fresh refugee.

 

[InfiniteSeven]

That's going to be a heck of a traumatizing position lol. I mean, Rhiannon is draining souls of people from the city, and my demon hunter is killing fleeing civilians and consuming their souls and I'm going to bet that if they both clash with each other, they'll be a lot of collateral damage going on and civilians in the scene aren't going to be happy.

 

[Misha]

ah, but i plan to fight Rhiannon after i evacuate my artisans C:<

 

[InfiniteSeven]

You'll clash with my Demon Hunter, no doubt. I don't think my Knights or my Demon Hunters are going to like you.

 

[Misha]

..i think i'll leave that discussion to sacrid, here

 

[sacridshadow]

Define like in this scenario. lol

 

[Zaix]

Hey Infinite I replied to your message, anyways I'll move him. Thought about placing him in the town where the dragon is attacking (seeing as the thing is using fire and I'm a pyrokineticist, might make for a interesting fight) but I'm not. Might start in the other city that isn't Hellion's

 

[Misha]

or start as one of my artisans that are fleeing through the catacombs to somewhere unknown :3
