TwoKinds RP?

#1 Post by Kieth »

Hello everyone ^^. My name is KiethTreason, but everyone just called me Kieth ^^. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to jump into a group RP taking place in the TwoKinds world with original characters to stir some things up lol.

So, if anyone is interested in doing an RP that takes place where the comic left off but with original characters. Let me know here. The main characters (Trace and everyone else) will be mentioned but will not be the main focus. A lot of the story can easily be derailed because once we jump in everything can go wrong real fast depending on what it is we do. Character sheets should hold some basic detail and such. Rules are as followed.


No Mary/Gary Sues: This is a big one. Lets face it, we all wanna be ultra badasses like Trace (before he lost his memory) and have all the ladies love us. But no one is perfect. Every character should have flaws, weaknesses, strengths and motivations. Joining with a martial artist who can easily take out half a towns armed forces unscathed is doing a bit much.


It is not all about YOU: Simply put. You are not trace. You are not flora. You are not Keith. The story and plot does not revolve around you and the motivations of the character you create. While characters can easily be friends with you and thus sympathize and possibly try to help, THEN there may be an arc dedicated to the struggle of your character. But thats a group thing to decide. Try not to come in being all emo and attempting to get everyone to get up on your jock lol.

Godmodding/Metaplaying: This means no instant hits, or avoiding every little attack. Characters get hurt, characters make mistakes. And most importantly...characters die. A character can be a kung fu master sure, but for the sake of fairness they should not be taking on thirty dudes at the same time like bruce lee. If you have an archer, understand the pros and cons of an archer. Ect. Metaplaying simply means dont act out information IC that is attained OOC. For example, Character A cannot know what character B is doing if character A is not around.


Respect: Be nice, treat others the way you want to be treated. Dont go being mean to someone because you can. Even if your character is a bully, understand not everyone is a fan of that so you run the risk having others not want to interact with you.


I think that about wraps it up. Lets get to the good stuff shall we?

Name:
Gender:
Species:
Race:
Age: (human years for simplicity)


Appearance: (Image if applicable)
Personality: (Bullet points will do)
Strengths: 5 at the most
Weaknesses: 5 at least

Skills: What is your character good at? Fighting, cooking, ect?
Custom Magic: (Only 2 custom magics are allowed. Nothing OP, just stuff your character can do rather its shooting fire, water or ect. Try to keep it within the premise that TwoKinds have showed us so far.)

History: Not required. Just for those who like depth <3. But for those who want really special snowflakes, i would strongly suggest putting some back story =P





And thats it. Post below if interested ^^. We can plot what happens next later. Cheers mates!

So I'm quite interested in this project, and would like to be a part of it.

I won't be able to make a character sheet for a little while though, as I've got some stuff going on today, but I'll get one to you asap.

Name: Julius Kingsley
Gender: Male
Species: Kedrian x Bastian Halfbreed
Race: Wolf
Age: 25

Appearance

•Violet & Golden Eyes
•Long Hair With Golden Tipped Bangs
•Black & White Fur
•Natural Golden Markings
•Glowing White Pupils
• Golden Pearl Earrings


Gear

• Twin Daggers
• Several Concealed Throwing Knives
• Chalk
• Eastern Outfit
• Backpack (Survival Materials)
• Rune & Glyph Book

Personality:

Highly Intelligent: Julius has the mind that some would consider brilliant. Spending most of his time within his mothers study the young lad read more books in his childhood than most would consume in a lifetime. This intelligent has made him calculating, tactical, and above all sharp. Suffering from a condition known as 'Low Latant Inhibition'. A condition that prevents his brain from shutting out new stimulus. He is unable to block out or ignore information and thus he processes every detail of every little thing. When someone with a low IQ has this condition. It almost always causes mental illness. But if someone with a high IQ possesses it. It almost always results in creative genius.

Observant: Cold truth about Julius is that he is far more observant than the typical person. He would much rather sit back from afar and analyze situations and act accordingly. This may make him appear paranoid, always looking around and watching everyones move.

Rebellious: He has a tendency to fight against the social norm. He despises the idea of slavery, greatly detest bullies and finds that those who talk down to others are trash. Despite growing up in nobility, he's always been a rescuer. Always concerned with the well being of others more than his own. He became very attuned to the emotions of those around him.

Childish: Despite his high intelligence rate Julius is sometimes seen as childish in a devious sense. His humor consisting of humiliating others in a goofy or joking fashion. Because of this, not many take him very seriously.

Violent: Don't let the glasses fool you. Julius is a killer and will not hesitate to take a life should he feel the desire. While normally trying to follow a small code of morals, he is not against hurting innocents in pursuit of his goals.




Strengths:

• High Intelligence that rivals that of the bastian general.
• Throwing Knifes (Deadly accurate)
• Drawing Perfect Circles Freehand (Comes into play later)

Weaknesses:

• Is not trained in martial arts and fights based on instinct.
• Does not have much training in magical arts aside from his own.
• Brain is hyperactive and cant shut out information. Preventing him from sleeping, functioning in large crowds. And focusing.
• Physically weak & Feminine
• Can’t swim.
• Drug Addict
• Alcoholic


Skills:

• Expert in Combat Throwing Knives
• Very experienced with glyphs
• Can think himself out of most situations.

Custom Magic:

Glyph Magic: This form of magic is unique to Julius's clan in the far west. It is based on the principle of rune magic but slightly more complicated. Julius is able to draw a circle (glyph) and within it, several designs and runes that function like a formula. For example, by carving the rune for Fire, discharge, weight, and plugging in the equation for area of effect. He can create a trap, and when someone steps on the circle they discharge an explosive fire spell similar to a bomb. It is a very complex magic and requires the circle and markings within to be absolutely perfect otherwise the flow of mana will be disturbed and effect the spell. Each glyph can only be activated when he pours his mana into the glyph and discharges it using his own mana. (Unless he puts a rune in it that allows it to discharge on its own). There are several different types of spells that can be used in different ways, making it rather versatile.

Illusion Magic: Julius's less preferred ability lies within his purple eye which is covered by an eyepatch. This eye has the ability to set an illusion on someone when eye contact is made. These illusions only work on one person at a time and are extremely vivid. For example, if he were to look someone in the eye and tell them to burn, they would (feel) as if they are burning alive. Every cell in their body, and every fiber of their being. Their brains would panic and possibly end up killing themselves. However, despite the effectiveness of the magic, each time he uses it the illusion feeds from his own life source. Killing him slowly. Another downfall is that he can only use illusions that he has experienced. Cant make someone feel like they are burning unless he himself knows what its like to be burned alive.


History: Julius was born in the far western deserts. Born within a clan that had a culture similar to that of (ancient Egypt). It is here he has spent most of his life, studying magic and the outside world. His way of life thought to be nothing more than myth considering not many traveled to his land and left alive. Making it appear that they did not exist aside from the very few who left to explore the world. Julius was one of these people. After his mother left to explore the world when he was younger and never returned, After turning 21 he bought himself a ship and ventured out to sea in search for his mother.

Name: Oalei Ragorma.
Gender: Male.
Species: Human.
Age: 24.

Appearance
Spoiler!
Image
=5'7.
=Amber Eyes.
=Short crimson hair.
=Light Skin.
=Average build with some visible muscle.

Wardrobe

=Wood-Rimmed Glasses.
=Red Short-Sleeved shirt.
=Red Sheepskin Jacket with dark wool.
=Copper-Colored Metal Gauntlet (Left Hand). [Refuses to remove.]
=Thick Brown Leather Shoes.
=Large Rucksack. [Light Brown; Packed with an entire outdoorsy set of items. Bedroll, spare clothes, fire-starting tools, rations, the whole kit.]

Winter Wardrobe

-Heavy Fur Robe. (Blue. Has hood.)
-Wide-Brimmed "Wizard Hat".

Personality

=Incredibly friendly. Even to enemies.
=Shies away from violence.
=Optimistic and fairly naive.
="Somewhat" of a bookworm.

Strengths

+Surprisingly high physical strength.
+Excels in single combat, regardless of enemy type. (Save for "Feral" beasts.)
+Above Average Endurance.
+Decent knowledge concerning Magic and Mana.
+Persuasive?

Weaknesses

-Can apparently be quite gullible.
-Less effective against multiple enemies.
-Pacifistic; Refuses to grievously harm his enemies when forced.
-Raw magical strength is below average.
-Suffers from Lupophobia. (Fear of wolves, both Keidran and Feral.)
-The glasses do nothing.
-Hides a number of potentially horrifying secrets.
Skills

+Effective brawler, specializing in disarming enemies.
+A scholar, knowledgeable in most forms of magic.

Custom Magic: "Crystallization" and "Fragmentation" spells, which directly influence the mana of spells that have already been cast.
[Crystallization freezes it in a temporary crystal. Fragmentation is a form of dispelling magic that makes the crystal violently explode, and may also cause certain spells to blow up in people's faces, and can just as easily disrupt more stable spells.]

History: A traveler who, apparently, wishes to somehow eventually bring peace to the three races and all the sub-species of Keidran. Even wolves. Otherwise, though, he has been left with no clear goals in mind. Apparently learned his magic from a lesser-known, slightly incompetent group of mages and eventually left to learn the rest on his own, which eventually led to an interest of collecting rare texts concerning magic.

Alrightly then.

So if we're throwing around ideas, how about this ?

Since both Oalei and Julius are travellers, it would make the most sense for either/ or both of them to run into Malcolm in town. This could be either due to injury, searching for medical supplies, or Oalei could be looking for Malcolm hopping to learn some rarer healing magics.

We'd still need a starting location, which will probably have to be neutral ground given Julius's wolfyness. Maybe Fox or Tiger territory?

Edit: There's also canine territory, Foxhunt and Tylerwyrn are excellent candidates as they're near human, fox and wolf towns.

If you were thinking something a little further north, there's Snow wolf territory. Ridgegate for example, opens up numerous interesting locations. There's Ditterage (Human/Wolf settlement where cross species marriage is allowed.) and Castle Heywood (Northern Basitian outpost) not far to the North. To the South West you've got the Wolf cities, to the North East and South East there's Human boarder towns.


Also negates the 'How did a wolf get across human territory?' story which Julius will have to deal with if we went with Tiger.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

But due to exams, and my general laziness lack of ideas, I may not be able to submit a new character sheet yet.
But please do save a spot for me! I'll be right back to submit my sheet!

Personal History:

This one was never given a name. It was believed by this one's masters that it didn't need a name, as a pit slave would die too quickly to need one.

Taken as a child from the mountains many years ago, this one was raised by the slave masters of Lorei to be used as a gladiatorial novelty. Not many, if any, lizard keidran make it to the Pits of Lorei, and this one made an interesting addition to their lineup.

The city of Lorei is not found on many maps, it is a city that wishes to be unknown. On those maps which it is found, it is marked for what it truly is. This one was trained there as a child, a year of grueling torture. Day after day. Swords, daggers, shields, spears, bows, claw and tooth. This one was meant to fight and die for the amusement of those who partake in betting on bloodsport. Those who came to see fighters in the Pit, the bloody Pit of Lorei.

Despite some early indications of resistance, this one would eventually become a good fighter. In fact, this one would become one of the top fighters in Lorei, defeating all manner of opponents during its career. To spite this slave who defied their expectation of death, the masters refused to name this one. A petty cruelty for a petty people.

After many years of fighting and winning, this one’s owner was approached by a Templar. The Templar wished to purchase this one, for reasons he would not discuss, and this one’s master refused. Many offers were made by the Templar, some offers were enormous even by this one’s understanding of currency, but they were all refused.

In anger the Templar killed this one’s master and claimed him according to ancient law, the law of blood. The Templar, Achelus, took this one to a hidden settlement, a Templar enclave, and attempted to turn this one into a living weapon against the Keidran.

This one was. . .joined with another Keidran, forcibly, in a dark magic ritual in an attempt to give this one control over magic. It was only the first step in Achelus’ plan, but this one managed to break free and escape soon after the joining.

The Templar, and Achelus, have been hunting this one ever since. They wish to bring this one back to that accursed place and continue their monstrous plan. This one has no intention of becoming a weapon of war. This one seeks something else, perhaps some kind of redemption for the violence of the Pits.

This one will continue to search for that something.

Alright i think we are almost ready to begin. Before we do, we just need to decide how we are starting this.


Also, Construct. Im not really sure what to think of your character since ive never seen a Lizard Kedrian. And plus im pretty sure most cold blooded reptiles live...quite a long time? Could be wrong but Wolf & Feline Kedrian age pretty quick based on what ive seen?


Like im said though. Im not sure, best not take my word on it.
