So, as should be obvious by the title, this is a reboot/sequel to Southbound: The Quest for Hastrajal RP by The Red Soldier.
I highly suggest you read through it and the OOC before joining this, but it's not exactly necessary.
Also worth noting before we get to the rules and CS and such: Y7 is in control of this story arc, so treat them as if they were a GM.
Rules!
-Listen to the GM, if you're going to argue about something with me, keep it civil and I might listen. Get all pissy and I won't.
-Standard RP rules. No godmodding, metagaming, etc.
-Grammar and spelling. Please put effort towards it. If your post looks like something I'd find in alphabet soup, that's not acceptable.
-Don't be stupid. If I catch you doing something illogical, or lacking in common sense, you will be punished for it.
-I expect fighting. However, I do not want it to be the main focus of this RP. It's going to happen, it's going to occur often in the story, but I'd still like there to be a lot of character interaction.
-No killing another player's character without their permission! Leave that to the GM.
-Don't leave people in the dust, if all you're going to do is have a little back-and-forth with someone, do it through PM and combine it before posting.
-Ask questions! If you're not sure about something, just ask!
- Please announce when you're editing your sheet after it's been accepted. y7 will be keeping a copy of your sheets on them and if any discrepancies show up in, say, a boss fight, your posts may be annulled until they can figure out why there is a discrepancy.
- Named NPCs are to be treated as PCs. Killing your way through a swarm of goblins? Cool. Killing Old Gore Tusk, Ork Warband leader in one blow? Not cool.
- There will be a slight post order structured from when you post after the initial IC post. If you are busy and cannot respond within 48 hours, please leave a quick message and we will try to wait for you. However, if more than four days with a heads up or twenty four hours without a heads up pass, your turn is skipped.
And now for the character sheet:
Code: Select all
[b]Appearance:[/b] What do you look like? Images preferred, a description is fine however.
[b]Name:[/b] What should we call you?
[b]Age:[/b] How old are you?
[b]Gender:[/b] Are you a guy or a gal?
[b]Race:[/b] What are you? Please refer to the original RP's OOC for the "established" races. Though, anything is fine, so long as you describe it. (Subject to approval.)
[b]Equipment:[/b] What do you carry? Also include your clothing and/or armor, please.
[b]Skills:[/b] What're you good at?
[b]Personality:[/b] How do you act?
[b]Bio:[/b] What's your story?
[b]Misc:[/b] Anything extra?
[b]Theme:[/b] A general theme for your character. Try to stay away from "epic" music.
NOTES FROM Y7
Hey there! y7 here, acting GM for this particular story arc, here to drop a few notes that you should be aware of for this particular story arc. To put it simple, your character was chosen by a psychic ghost girl to help her on a quest. As mentioned above, she will not have chosen any outright evil character to help her nor will she have chosen anyone capable of forcibly manipulating souls (E.G Necromancy, Magic that uses Souls as Fuel) though things such as binding your soul with other things is fine.
Of course, I am willing to try and work with you to make your character fit. If you really want to make your formerly evil archlich work for this, PM me and we'll talk.
Continuing, afore mentioned psychic ghost girl will only recruit you if you have been in the city for at least a day or two so do be aware of that.
Furthermore, I am going to point this out now, I have a GM style some might be tempted to call 'lethal'. While this is not completely untrue, I will say that I only punish clearly stupid choices with proportionally lethal outcomes. So while I won't be offing PC's because you didn't know about a boss's secret weakness, doing something like attempting to engage a ten foot tall monster known to cause death by touch in melee after repeated mentions of such events will result in, well, death.
Also, while I encourage you to PM me for more info that your character would notice, I will NOT reveal any information that your character wouldn't be able to tell with their abilities. So while asking me what an enemy is surrounded by is fine, asking me about what special powers his sword may grant him is not fine unless your character has a reason to know.
Finally, I WILL have a plot notes section in this OOC. It will be updated regularly as new info comes to light so if you ever need to recall something, look it over. Do note, I will be making note of who should know this info. So if you decide to suddenly know info that you had no way of acquiring, expect pain. For example, a guy who is there for the big villain reveal should be expected to know about the villain's true identity and what not. A guy halfway across the country should not. If the guy that's halfway across the country suddenly discovers this information, I will fill in the blanks. You do not want me to fill in the blanks.
Recap!
Right, this here is a recap section telling you of what has happened thus far.
So far, a group of three adventurers have been called to assist the girl. Valentine (MFA), a summoner with several elemental spirits and what not at his disposal, Allison (Lief), a Part Phoenix Alchemist, and Hathor (Phoenix), an assassin winged humanoid of sorts. It has been revealed by the spirit that she had been a part of an extremely sophisticated magic defense system to protect a magic artifact of sorts. However, a mage of sorts has managed to separate her from this system and is currently doing something to the artifact. Rewards can only be given to one of you but everyone can loot the body and the storage facility the artifact is stored in to their heart's content. Of course, no solid details have been given about anything so danger remains high.
If you have been chosen, you'll be aware of at least this much as well as the fact that there is another group moving in to assist. This is really all I can tell you for now though I will say that you had an hour to gear up and that she will contact you further for the next meeting area. So far, it seems Phoenix has dropped out of this RP so his slot with the first three is available.
