Rafia: Trials of the Sixth Plane

[Hugget Sukker]

Cool.

Fussiler1, I just came to think about that your sheet states Llyw often wears 'unnoticeable clothes'.

 

[Fussiler1]

Which means, just your average clothes. A bit badly worded, yes, but I do think it's a bit understandable..

 

[Hugget Sukker]

Sorry. Wasn't funny then.

 

[Phoonix]

Wolfe, awesome character.

 

[Dragonson]

@Wolfe
Approved, again.
I understood from the PM's that you want the Corruption path, so i will begin work on the first Unveil for Corruption.


NOW, everyone MAKE SURE that you are RELATIVELY agreed on where to start.
Seriously people.

 

[Phoonix]

yea Black Tower seems fine ^^ the people from previous are already familiar whit it so ^^

 

[Fussiler1]

Black Tower it is, my comrades.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yes damn it all, lets start!

 

[Dragonson]

The first corruption unveil is finished.
Anyone with corruption as their path may choose a Tier 1 Corruption ability.


...aand once wolfe has picked his ability, i will post the RP thread.

 

[Phoonix]

what time-zone does Wolfe live in?

 

[Hugget Sukker]

Speaking of time, I'm soon falling asleep in the fridge or under the couch, so if you start playing tonight, I'll catch a little later. See you guys!

 

[Wolfe]

GMT + 10:00, Phoo.

 

[The World Is Flat]

GMT -5:00 here... Rp might go a bit slow.

 

[Wolfe]

Sadly so. v.v Oh well, I'll try not to ruin your fun too much.

 

[Dragonson]

AND we're set.
The RP Thread is posted and you may start gaming.
Have fun everyone, and see you in Rafia!

 

[Crazy Cow]

YES!

[AIagremm]

Name: Calliope
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Sky elf, Half-human
Class: Mage: +4 to Will and +1 to Cunning
Stats:
Strength - 3
Will - 1 + 4
Dexterity - 4
Cunning - 2 + 1
Specialisation:
Calliope is known as Spirit of Music. Her main ability is her incredible voice the power of which is so great it can force other people into doing her bidding or feel like she wants them too. However she is also quite potent at magic, which she sadly doesnt know good enough, so usually she manipulates the elements and energy. Calliope over long years of being hunted has become quick and agile, but not physically strong.
Calliope's intentions are yet unknown, but she wants to become a lorekeeper and learn any knowledge she can find.
Soulblade:
Singing Blade
It is a short silver blade, covered with mysterious lines. It glows when needed and is said to be so sharp it can rip through the matter of the space surrounding Calliope, allowing her to go almost anywhere in the Sixth Plane, but at a cost.
Biography/Description:
Calliope's origins are unknown. What is known is that she has been travelling Rafia for years of her short life, always denied and betrayed by people, hated for her strange looks and her powers. Her, being a halfbreed was the main reason of the hate towards her. Hiding and running, she has been learning and over time her adoration for knowledge grew and she saw that only the wise ones for whom lore is the point of life are wise and good and since then she has been interested in lorekeeping. What brought her to the point of the Entity's release is still a mystery, but it could be a call of destiny.
She looks quite interesting, but sadly is hated for her distinguishing features. She has snow-white hair. Her eyes are of different colors, one blue and one green. On her pale skin they look like two gems. Her ears are much longer then those of a human, but their ends are like those humans have. She is dressed in grey hood and simple, yet artistic comfortable clothes. Sometimes one can see a flute hanging on her waist.

EDIT: Im also thinking of giving her a defection of speech that makes her voice sounds very annoying when she talks and not sings, being yet another reason for the hate and mistrust towards her. An example:
"Hy am given a speh-shal message frohm himh, sent hier zho zath Hy cahn deleever ith"
"I am given a special message from him, sent here so that I can deliver it."

 

[Dragonson]

Approved.
And i like the defection idea a lot. But make it SLIGHTLY less annoying, like a minor accent.

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah, I decided so too ^^
I thought that accent is good, but other players no understanding me wouldnt be the best thing.

Anyway I added it as the last reason why people dislike her.

 

[Dragonson]

OKay, pick a char path and an ability then.

 

[AIagremm]

Control, as during her life she has been fighting her inner darkness for a long time.
Force Projectile, as for me one blade is more then enough

Anyway you wrote Callilope in the character list xD

Also, I thought of some minor changes to the Character desription, if you may.
"Her ears are much longer then those of a human, but their ends are like those humans have" is more correctly said as "Her ears are much longer then those of a human, but not pointy like those of an elf."
Plus I think you should add the line "Though her voice is undeniably beautiful when she sings, when simply talking it is quite strange. For some reason Calliope speaks with an accent of some sort, which has a tendency to annoy those who hear it, being yet another reason for her being treated badly by others" in the end of the Biography.

 

[Dragonson]

Alright, added the ability and fixed the name.

 

[AIagremm]

Could you also add those minor adjustments I wrote in the last post?

 

[OrangeAngel]

Name: Zeyn Praq Britlu
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Rouge
Stats:
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 5 (2+3)
Will: 2
Cunning: 5 (3+2)
Specialization: Zeyn is agile and quick and uses shadows to help kill him enemies.
SoulBlade:
Yezan and Coparq: Yezan and Coparq are sister daggers, Yezan has a dark goldenrod tip and Coparq has a red-orange tip, the rest of the dagger is colored with a dark red/cyan mix. They are both a little over average size of a regular dagger. Yezan and Coparq are both imbued with a magic poison that will impair the movement of whoever is struck, even allies. Yezan and Coparq create voices inside the wielder's mind and they sound as if the daggers are bickering with one another. Neither of them can be separated from one another and if they do the wielder is magically injected with a deadly poison that will kill unless treated as soon as possible. The tips of the daggers can glow on command to make a lantern, but it is only a faint glow just enough to make you see about three yards away. Yezan and Coparq are as light as a feather so they can be swung very fast and they are very deadly, if the first strike doesnt kill the second one will...
Biography/Description: Zeyn is 17 year old boy who has dark blond hair and has grayish-blue eyes that seem to flicker every so often, His favorite color is brownish-orange and he seems to be somewhat weak to magic. Zeyn comes from a small town where murder is everywhere, if you didn't watch your step it would be the last step you take. He had to learn to hide or else he would be killed. The small town was raided and burned by a large group of bandits and Zeyn's family was murdered. He had to relocate himself in order to survive, he started walking until he couldnt walk anymore, it led him to a beach, and there was a boat not to far away, he laid down and started to rest and after about an hour he got on the boat and he drifted to an island called Rafia.

 

[AIagremm]

Nice, but shouldnt the Soulblades appear when you enter the island of Rafia?

 

[OrangeAngel]

Oh oops... Darn i was so happy when i thought i was done. I'll fix that.
EDIT: Fixed i think.

 

[AIagremm]

Well Im not the one to judge here. Lets wait for Dragonson.

 

[OrangeAngel]

I Pmed him so i think he is doing something or in another tab, cant wait to see if i get to be approved. Only thing i hate is that i'm starting in the middle of an rp... AGAIN!

 

[Dragonson]

@OrangeAngel
A decent char, i must say.
I have a few things to say though:

1: The presentation of your soulblade is VERY confusing.
Please describe the blade/blades first and THEN the abilities.

2: Your biography is kinda' bleak and very cliche'd. This is not always a bad thing, but your story ONLY has the cliche'd part.
You should add some more about what your charecter did after the city was burned down (and if he goes on a journey/swears an oath to get revenge on whoever did it i will force you to re-write it), why he was in Rafia when the Entity was unleashed, how he was affected by the entity's power and maybe just some more background in general.
The more info and spicy details there are in your charecter background the more reference material will the other players have when they are interacting with your charecter, and the game will be more fun to play for everyone.

Look into these issuses and i will most probably approve your char.

 

[OrangeAngel]

KK Dragonson i'll fix these, the hardest part is gonna be "why he was in Rafia when the Entity was unleashed"

Edit: I fixed most of it i rewrote the blades description but it is still the same.

 

[Dragonson]

Alright, it's way better now.
Remove the last part about the Cyan rune and your soulblade is fully balanced too.
When that's done, your charecter is approved and it's time to pick a path.

 

[OrangeAngel]

My path will be Unleased and i want Sphere of Supremecy! ^.^ Yay i'm approved!

 

[Phoonix]

I'd like to upgrade my sphere of supremacy, dragon.

 

[Dragonson]

Alright. I will begin making the nessecary preparations once i have time.
The new addition to the Unleashed Charecter Path will include:
-1 Upgraded Version of Sphere of Supremacy
and
-2 Side-Abilities based on your Charecter and Sphere of Supremacy

EDIT: The upgrade to Sphere of Supremacy has been added.
Mex may now choose one of the Passive Abilities granted from the upgrade.

 

[Phoonix]

Ravager please dragonson

 

[Dragonson]

Consider it done.

 

[AIagremm]

Okay, I have Control... what can I choose?

 

[Dragonson]

Entity points can be spent in your path to do several things.
-You can spend Entity Points to unlock a new Tier of Entity Abilities for your path.
Tier one is unlocked upon deciding which path to use.
-You can spend Entity Points to learn abilities from the ability tiers that your charecter has unlocked.
Upon Unlocking a new tier you will automatically be able to pick ONE ability from this tier.
If you want more than one ability from a specefic tier you will have to spend points on it.
-You can spend Entity Points to upgrade a previously learned ability, unlocking side-paths and extra abilities based on the ability you upgraded.
Once an ability has been upgraded three times it becomes warped, adding new possible uses and giving it a considerable power boost.

Hope this is explanation enough.

 

[AIagremm]

Okay, I think I will then upgrade my Force Projectile!

 

[Grey Nightmare]

^Ditto.

 

[Dragonson]

Upgrade to Force Projectile added!
Calliope, Meyla and any other charecter that upgrades Force Projectile to Level 2 may now pick one of the passive abilities that it provides.

 

[AIagremm]

Id choose Flurry, but since I dont have much use of it, I will take Presicion

 

[Dragonson]

Righto. Will add.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Flurry please.

btw, that was some awesome rp, love how you use old chars as 'NPCs' - Keeps some kind of logical flow, and leaves some unanswered questions (presenting curiosity )

 

[Dragonson]

Thanks grey. I enjoyed it greatly myself too.

Adding Flurry.

 

[Wolfe]

Upgrade my current ability, Draggy! ^.^

 

[Dragonson]

Upgrade to Corrupt Magic posted.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Upgrade pwease. As in, Teir.

 

[Hugget Sukker]

This would interrupt the good game going on in the roleplaying thread, so it's posted here instead.

I quit. Music is taking all my time. It is literally and in tone an obsession - a diehard call that I need to follow now. Quitting a roleplaying campaign is like closing a half-read novel in front of the author, and putting it back on the shelf never to read a word in it again. It's insulting to the author, and therefore I would like to apologize mostly to Dragonson.
I would also have said something along these lines in the last pages:
You are all great roleplayers, shooting off with jawdropping introductions, and following up with posts that liven everything beyond the allready extraordinary. I would have been ecstatic to host just a single session of fragile, suspenseful horror rpg with this lot. In a future, I'd dig doing just that if some of you were up to it. Yes, if I do that, you're all invited - ofcourse including Dragonson...
Who sports good improvisation. Nothing beats a lore woven with characters, and a plot weaving characters into that lore. I always loved the concept of shadow realities like the 5th plane. With the paths, the rules integrate graciously this whole - a setting which is well worth digging into. More importantly, it's well worth playing with an open and visionary DM like Dragonson. This is not complementing, or even flattering, at all, because it would not fit in the foreword nor on the cover of the book when it comes from someone who didn't finish reading it. Take it for what you will. This one is summoned away by its music spirit. This one gives its best regards. This one closes its Rafia copy with mixed regret and dedication.

 

[Dragonson]

@Hugget
It has been enjoyable having you here, hugget.
I am sad that you have to leave, and yet i understand it.

I myself have left things unfinished and unexplored, to do something else.
To do something i would rather dig into, something that catches that inner spark that none of us can live without.

I know how amazing music can be, and i fully understand that you choose to set aside your other interests to focus on it.
It is not what i would have done, but yet i understand it no less.

I hope that you find that spark, that thing that none of us can live without, for i myself have sometimes stumbled in the dark without it.
And to be slightly less poetic: It sucks.

Know also that you are at all times welcome to come back, should you find the time.
For the reason i am here, is to provide you others with entertainment and new experiances.
For that is what i like to do.

Have fun, Hugget.

@Flat
Working on your upgrade.
Ran into some file corruption problems, but i have backup so it shouldnt take too long.
