Skeleton Ideas for Rp

[Arcite]

Okay, so I haven't really got much here but something involving creepiness and otherworlds? Something near Silent Hill maybe?  I just love Silent Hill.  Basically just a name your character and throw them on the street doing something type of thing.

Um...otherwise...if you aren't looking for something a bit less spooky could...do a more fantasy based.  I've got a world template involving steam punk victorian features.  Just kind of..action-y and romantic-ish.

Please feel free to throw in some ideas

[DarkNevaeh]

I am honestly good for whatever.  I do better in fantasy setings, but I can do scary ones too if you'd like.  Your choice really.  Victorian/Steampunk is fun too ^_^

[Arcite]

Well the steampunk one might catch with you more.  It's also more adaptable with the time line so it can be not so victorian era.  It involves two classes of human, regulars and elementals.  Regular people rely heavily on technology while elementals have the ability to manipulate any derivative of the four main elements (air,water,fire,earth).  So that's kind of more fantasy based.

[Arcite]

Forgot to mention the two factions of humans don't sit well with each other, obviously.

[DarkNevaeh]

Obviously, lol.  We can do that if you are up for it. ^_^

[Arcite]

Oh you've found one of the most indecisive people on earth!  Yeah lets give it a go I guess. I'll get it started.

[DarkNevaeh]

lol yay indecisiveness!  Sure, jsut toss me a link to the actual rp thread

[Arcite]

If we get anymore takers we can set up a parallel thread that converges later if they want to be in a secondary area or if they want to go with what's happening we can cycle through on turns I suppose.  It's been a LOOOONG time since I've done any group roleplaying.

[Arcite]

OKAY! So my brain has begun to actually work again and I have an update for details on how this world will work.

The majority of the industrialized world has operates on a good bit of turn of the century equipment.  In cities for transportation you have; horse and carriage, mobiles (cars), bikes (motorcycle), steam trains and the air ship.  The wealthier you are the better equipment you have.  You won't see a poor traveller with an automobile of any kind unless it was stolen or they used to have money and lost it all.  Dress in the cities is also akin to that of victorian era fashion.  It can vary on flashiness, modesty and so forth.  You will find plenty of stone work and metal work all around.

In a specific territory of the world where the majority of elemental life resides it is a drastically different story.  Much of the land is arid you will find more mud, clay and stone work.  People prefer to travel by foot since they can use the ground to their advantage but it is not unheard of for them to have higher technology.  Dress is light and layered, a mix of what you might have seen in ancient greece and India.

Weaponry can has a large spectrum.  You have multi-chamber pistols, rifles, shotguns as well as short swords, daggers, and cross bows.  There is heavy artillary but that is kept by military only!  Elementals are able to manipulate any element to varying degrees, it is unlikely they are a master of everything since they are working with different types and amounts of mass.

If there are any further questions please let me know

[Tsumi Okazaki]

Hey sorry for popping into your thread unannounced but I read the role play and it seems quite interesting. I was thinking of joining if you allow, but I don't know how you break down the elemental classes. For example, being this seems a bit like Avatar or more like Legends of Korra since it has updated technology in it, would your elementals be able to use variations of one ability. Like fire and lightning, water and ice along with drawing it from a human body, or ect ect. Curious about their weapon limits as well since they are already elementals.

[Zad]

I want in, Arcite. Please, I'd be so greatful

[DarkNevaeh]

Zad, if youd like to read, the RP is called 'From the Sands'

[Zad]

Can you link me, please?  O:)

[Argleblather]

By all means, go ahead without me. I'm kind of up and down and back and forth at the computer today as I'm working on studying and packing and general housiness. :) No worries.

[DarkNevaeh]

bane!!!! lol

[Arcite]

Am I the only one who gets a little flustered trying to keep everything separated into the proper threads for chat?

I want in, Arcite. Please, I'd be so greatful

Zad you're good to join, doesn't even have to be a character on the ship, just let us know when you want to jump in and we can hold the line for you otherwise just run over some people like I do!

[Arcite]

I don't know how you break down the elemental classes.  would your elementals be able to use variations of one ability. Like fire and lightning, water and ice along with drawing it from a human body, or ect ect. Curious about their weapon limits as well since they are already elementals.

Sorry it's taken me a bit to answer this for you Tsumi.  Elementals are not limited to just using one element.  They can use all the elements and are able to work within a large spectrum of that element.  They are able to draw water from a human body (dehydrating them or upsetting their blood flow) but it is a very rare to find an Elemental with that amount of control.  However, they are not able to have any actual influence over how a living being moves or thinks, that include plant and animal life. They are also open to using regular weaponry because sometimes it's just easier to stab or pull a trigger.  Weapons tech is similar to the weapons found in the world in the late 1800's and very early 1900's.  So if you wanted a specific fire arm I would suggest doing some research on it first.

Hope that clears things up a little for you.  If you have any more questions feel free to toss them at me.

Ah, I was thinking of using the Dehydration bit. Making it where she can yank the water out of someones entire body or just their limb depending on how she did it if she was touching them. or cause them to suddenly pass out from a distance.

Still just kicking around ideas on that part, but her weapons would be a set of Colt .45 Peacemakers. I'm a bit of a loon about firearms and those are a prize to me lol. Lol my knowledge of guns only covers a limited amount of older handguns though. My weapons knowledge is mainly blade oriented.

[Arcite]

The Peacemaker is fine, it's made within the right range of time to be applicable.  As for the dehydration, I'm going to think about it and get a better idea of the standards that would have to be applied.  I just hate leaving any character particularly over powered.  So if you want to get your character started within the basic parameters I'll give some more thought to how the manipulation of body fluid would work and get ack to you on it.

Oh I totally agree which is why I was trying to plot it out myself. The only thing i came up with so far is something like her gripping your arm and literally turning it into a piece of beef jerky as far as the dehydration goes. Maybe being able to draw just enough out of a person over a distance to cause heat exhaultion. Or I could just go with Fire lol. I kinda just thought about the dehydration and water production because its a desert and that seemed to fit right in lol. But I think fire can get complicated pretty quick as well.

[Zad]

:) May I make a theif?
I think a thief would be great in this game

[Arcite]

A thief would be excellent!  It fits in with pirates and vagrants and the other more seedy side of society.

Did you plan on making him a regular human or an elemental?

[Zad]

A human named Troy. I posted already.
He's pretty agile

[Arcite]

You are far more organized with keeping up on topics than I am!

[Zad]

Really? I've found I have trouble keeping up :D

[Arcite]

Think we should go ahead and wait for Nev to return before continuing on? We're going to have to have him at some point and I don't know about how much more time can be stretched without his character.

[Zad]

Let's wait. He's got a bit of work now anyway.
That was good, though. Troy is easily a good character for me

[Arcite]

Sounds good.  I'm glad you've got a character that you're finding easily comfortable.

[Zad]

I've always liked thieves. I don't identify with them, but I like their lifestyle

[Arcite]

"Why are you arresting me? I stole it fair and square!"

[Zad]

Yes. I remember an event in D&D when I stole a gold piece, and another thief took it. I chased her screaming "I STOLE THAT FIRST!"

[Arcite]

Hah!  In any Bethesda games that allow stealing I almost never buy anything.  About the only thing I ever have to buy is various health stims because they're usually more difficult to find.

[Zad]

Yeah, that's about the extent of my playing style. Elder scrolls and fallout, always a thief

[DarkNevaeh]

Arc, weve got a small problem love.  Zad got denied for doing something heinous.  NPC Troy?

[Arcite]

Shoot I just noticed that!  Yeah, you wanna just npc him out?

[DarkNevaeh]

Sounds good.

[Teo Torriatte]

I would love to join this story if it alright with everyone. Thing is, I woke up late and didn't get time to read through it so I will have to do it in the morning when I get home from work. But Nev(or do prefer Dark?) mentioned needing a pirate and I think pirates are cool so I'm pretty sure I will want to play one. I'll just need some time to get caught up with everything before I get a better idea of what is going on.

Sooo... I guess this post was mostly useless, heh. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be more fruitful.

[DarkNevaeh]

lol.  Read through and then post some thing here.

[NatalieB]

Been reading throgh this and looks like a lot of fun.  Does the ship need an elemental navigator?  Feel free to say no, if thats the answer.  If yes, I'll get a character up.

[DarkNevaeh]

Sure.  So far I know my crew is Myself(Marcos), Vadya(Arcite), Bane(Argle), Troy(NPC), Kiryuu(NPC), +4 unnamed crew members.  Feel free to fill in the blanks.  Just make sure to slighly follow how the crew acts by what Marcos says.  If you have any question about that, feel free to ask.

[NatalieB]

Yeah, I don't want to disobey el capitan.  Read through the RP thread a couple of times now and think I have a handle on how the ship works.

Kira (Human Elemental)



(The eyes are contacts)

An elemental with a natural affinity for the air.  She has practiced determining a location by sniffing and tasting the wind and currents around the ship which she uses in conjunction with the ship's charts.

Can I have a cabin?

[DarkNevaeh]

Cool thing about an airship...everyone has a room.  No real bunks.  There's a hallway of rooms and the ship, in my head, was designed to fit 10 individuals, not incluing the Captain's quarters. 

[NatalieB]

Awesome.  I just wasn't sure if you were going for crew bunks or not and didn't want to mention my cabin and screw up anyone's image of the ship.

[NatalieB]

There we go, posted.  Hope it works for you - please feel free to tel me to eff off if it doesn't.  I'm pretty thick skinned.

[DarkNevaeh]

Looks good.  Dont forget Trent's birthday is coming!

[NatalieB]

Wouldn't dream of it.  40 lashes for the last crewmember stupid enough to do that!

[Arcite]

Hello Natalie, welcome aboard.  Just want to let you know that the overall design of your character is fine, you will have to pick a natural eye color though because there are no contacts in the world setting of the rp.

Also if you have any questions about elementals and their capabilities feel free to ask me.

[NatalieB]

That suits me just fine - I really wasn't sure about the eyes.  Liked the rest of the pic enough to overlook them though and lack the photoshop skills to do anything about them, thats why I said contacts.

/babble

Blue.

I did have a quick question - I'd pictured Kira as being more air orientated than the other three.  Is that reasonable?  Do they specialise?

[NatalieB]

Also, wow.  I appear to be a lady

[Arcite]

She's a lady! Oh whoa whoa she's a lady! XD

And it is perfectly acceptable to specialize in one element over the others.  It's can be just like any other talent, you may be able to do a little of this and that but you have one particular strength.

[DarkNevaeh]

Natalie...yes.  More then likely, Marcos has spoken to each crew member for a period of time in their first week.  Afterward, he does randomly invite them back one by one, to chat and eat and so on.

[NatalieB]

Ninja'd!

I was just about to come here and ask that

[Arcite]

We are out of a Nev for the weekend, want to do some stuff without him?

[NatalieB]

Yeah, I sotted that.

Its entirely up to you, hun.  I'll be arounf if you are *shrug*

[Arcite]

I think I'm going to look into having the thread moved before doing any more.
