OOC: My guess is that this island is in no specific world, and you can attach all sorts of other lands from other worlds to this world, provided they're far enough away to not mess with the island and the plot. (Of course, Nazgul has the final word on that). For example, my character comes from another fantasy world named Caelereth.

If you're not shapers, the setting is far away from shapers, and there aren't any shapers around, then what makes it a Geneforge RP? There isn't any 'engine' in an rp, you know.  EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the 'all' in 'won't *all* be shapers'. Just forget this post.  EDIT2: And another apology for calling you TGM, SIS. It's just that 'So Incredibly Sad' and 'Crying in an Airplane' seem thematically related...

This is my first try at rp-ing, and I might drop out again if I decide I can't do it. Here's my suggestion for a character: Eferas Cirthain, a human, is 78 years old, app. 180 cm tall, weighing about 80 kg (160 pounds for you non-metric guys  ). His hair has grayed nearly completely, but here and there can still be seen a tinge of the bright copper that was once his natural hair color. His eyes look black as coal, but are in truth merely dark grey. He stoops, and walks but slowly, and has to lean heavily on his wooden staff.He's a mage (c'mon, what did you expect), and he specializes very much on fire spells that are his strength. He can cast all the standard fire spells from Exile/Avernum (Fire Bolt, Fire Storm, Flaming Arrows, Fireblast, you know the lot). He also has an extra spells at his disposal: - Boiling Blood, a sort of war blessing and hasting in one, that speeds up and strengthens the target by temporarily raising body and blood temperature. It can be cast on himself and on other humans while in body contact. Its effect lasts for about 15-20 minutes, it takes five seconds to cast (where he has to touch the target's bare skin, preferrably near a main artery). However, it has a sort of 'hangover'-aftereffect; after the effects have faded the target will feel very exhausted. He cannot do any other, non-fire spells. His main weakness is, of course, his frailty. At 78 years, he cannot pull half his weight in melee, and has to rely on the protection of his fellow fighters while casting spells. He also hates the touch of iron, therefore he possesses no blade at all, his only weapons are his oak staff and a small knife carved from obsidian. Personality: He is rather rash and volatile, fitting the nature of his preferred element. He is liable to unexpected mood swings, but his anger is just as quickly calmed again. History: Now what kind of world did you have in mind? Is this Ermarian or can you just put in anything? If so, he was born somewhere in a distant land called Santharia.  (Make that Aizo if this has to be Ermarian). His father was a mage, his mother a blademaster, and both were former adventurers. Eferas showed magic capability at nine, and his father decided to send him to the Magical Academy at Ximax. His father was assassinated by a necromancer, but Eferas journeyed to Ximax nonetheless at 16. He stayed there for the next half of a century. He was offered a position as archmage at the academy, but late in his life (at 66) he grew bored and decided to set out to become an adventurer like his parents. He has travelled around a lot, but in his civilized homeland there is not much for adventurers to do, so he listened around where there might still be adventure.(OOC: The above is not plot relevant at all, just wanted to give the char a little personal history. It does not have any effect on the plot. He's just an old mage who wants to set out for adventure.) Naturally, he eventually learned of this island and the tyrannical archmage reigning it, who ought to be toppled from the throne. He immediately looked for a captain willing to travel the long way, and eventually he found a mercenary vessel that would hire him, so he would work for the journey by lending them his magic skills should they encounter any assaults while at sea. The journey was calm, and they were only once attacked by a single pirate vessel that was easily dispatched. Then he landed here, and the mercenaries left rather quickly... (Oh yeah, Namothil, he's a pyromancer, but not a demonologist. Just so you don't get ideas... )Is that one accepted? If so...IC: Eferas slowly walked along the pier and left the quay, trying to look inconspicous - his friends had warned him that the minions of the archmage were extremely dangerous and suspicious of strangers. He surveyed his surroundings for the most friendly-looking inn around. There were a lot of sailor taverns, but they all looked rather dark and dangerous, and Eferas preferred a clean place. Another sign hit his eye: "The Urchin and Starfish" (OOC: That's supposed to be the inn you were heading to, Nazgul, if you don't like the name, I'll change it.). From afar, the place seems civilized enough. He approaches it and enters...

That's quite a good idea. Whether or not Jeff does it is another question. If you suggest it to him in an email, he might consider it. He sometimes reads and posts on this forum, but it's rather rare, so don't count on it. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Fall starts, I believe, mid-September, and ends in mid-December, so GF2 could be out anywhere from a week from now to three months. Maybe October, sooner or later. Knowing Jeff's optimistic self-set deadlines, I'd say later.  Can't be all that long now... I waited for Avernum 3 to come out for over half a year.  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Nope. He died just the day before yesterday, or the day before that, not entirely sure.

If they should ever return, there should definitely be a limit of 10 KB on it. And an automatic dimension set of 60*60 or something, maybe 100*100, squashing everything larger. That would fix it. Was that the only reason avatars were banned? -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

quote:Zephyr, that's a blatant threat. You've made those threats before, as I recall, and they're against the CoC that you're always so quick to quote. It might be a good idea (though I don't see how you deserve it to be honest), to stop constantly flaming you, not just because you should show respect for members no matter how badly they behave, but also because flaming you is no use anyway, since it doesn't teach you anything. So, everyone, grit your teeth and stop flaming the little guy. That does not, however, have anything to do with approving or not approving your characters. Your slith knight has, as far as I can see, been rejected not as a gesture of flaming you personally, but because it was perceived to be a crappy character. It's nothing personal, improve it, tune down the power, and it may get accepted. May. If I was in charge of any rp, I would reject your character too, no matter who made it. Again, it doesn't have anything to do with you personally. _files/rolleyes.gif) [ Saturday, September 13, 2003 08:05: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

OOC (not that I even have any C): Enraged Slith complained about inexperienced players not having guidelines. Happens that I know a really good place to rp in - the expectations for players are admittedly rather high, but it just makes it even more fun - and they have a really helpful and funny RP-ing tutorial Especially, note the following character introduction. This is *not* something you want to see in an RP, right? _files/biggrin.gif) "The theif Preewee. Has a kloak for infisibility. Can't be herd by anyone. Nowan sees 'im. He can kil evreeone witout making a sount. Preewee also has some magiccal capabibilities. In fact, has alot off magiccal capabibilities. Can do offensif magic and defensif, and can reet thoughts. Wen he is been attackt, Preewee will kill all otters with his super swort. Dis swort allows him to breed under water and resist all heath as well as colt as well as wether as well as wounds. PS: Preewee is immortel. " -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Elves? You mean Elvis? Or do you mean those pretty, pointy-eared, long-lived fellows? _files/tongue.gif) Morrison was afaik never in japan, it was just suggested what *would* have happened if it'd happened in Japan. While it still baffles me what would have been especially unacceptable to fellow bathers if a guy had a heart attack and died in the tub... I'd have been sure that if Morrison died from the above-mentioned practice (ie hanging himself while masturbating), this would have been *definitely* unacceptable.

To paraphrase: "Why should I play a mortal char? You can have the mundane ones, I'll stick to God Characters." This might explain why people start to groan the moment you join an RP, Zephyr. In fact, it's funny that you mentioned weaknesses that would fall into the category of Nazgul's example of a small patch of skin being vulnerable in the new moon. No Slith spells in Dragon form, but instead a spell that instantly implodes enemies? What kind of weakness is that? Not that I'm supposed to post here since I don't have a character, but this RP is already dead to the point where OOC posts are not marked, and IC posts are nearly non-existant.
