Trials of Khordom: The Beginning

[Cifero Windtail]

-_-


ok, i agree with the no arguing thing, but you have to realize that sometimes too much is too much. We'll try to flesh it out, but that doesn't mean we'll always be able to.




As for the plasma, I've got this. The plasma is not dangerous, and that is final. It was blood, for heaven's sake! That's a type of plasma! He...


Ok, i don't know what just happened, but here's the gist of it. First of all, try to tone things down. Hikari, sitting down at the table would have been fine, but considering that none of the adults notice crap in this thing anyway, the way you did enter will be accepted. As for the plasma thing, I'm just going to say that it was at blood temperature, and thus not dangerous period. Another thing: If any of you have a problem, tell me first before posting it on here, then we can calmly talk things out instead of this happening. And lastly, Otebon, if you have an issue with my rp, please message me first instead of posting on here. It would be easier if the conversation was just between us. Thank you all.

And to Kiva, eh, I'll give you the cop thing, but it's still been several hours.  In an area with a LOT of kids.  Why would it take that quite so long?

they were out getting donuts? 


but in all seriousness, poor city planning, that or we could be in a culture where more is expected of young adults...in africa you are an adult at like 13
or maybe they are lazy and just shoved it under the rug until they HAD to do something

I am not moderating this thread where I am handing out percentage points, but I would like the arguing to stop. Also please note that there are several things story-wise that make little sense. I feel, after reading the RP and the OOC and having done so since its creation, that Aldrea's confusion is well founded. Move the conversation to PM if you must but please try to settle this in a calm and well mannered way.

if you would please pm me my mistakes? i know i need to learn from them and sometimes i guess they are not obvious to me

[Aldrea945]

*Sighs.* Guys, I'm trying and I just can't get past parts of the RP.  I'm gonna have to leave.  There's so little description, the plot...  Blast, I'm having a hard time taking anything serious at this point.  I can't figure out anything past "Angel and Hellhound and Crat and Kangaroo are at a school and the previous, already set out plot has been put aside for... comedy? Something?"  Sorry Cif.    I liked the idea, I really did.

You can operate Rachel.    I was going to have her as a spy and reveal it slowly, have her working with the enemy to find the people that might be the designated heroes.  Just telling out of the blue seemed very counter productive, so I was going to drop hints and tell about halfway through the plot.  Or if someone asked.  Whichever came first.

humph for a couple months i was one of the only two people keeping this thread alive...now i get to watch it die.... what was the origional plan for the plot anyway? i could try steering our hindenburg

[Aldrea945]

This was Cif's opening paragraph:

It seems so long since the demons were pushed back, and the evil one was exiled for his crimes. We have rebuilt the land, and we have cultivated and prospered. Our world is going back to the way it once was. And yet... I have felt a distinct unease... a feeling that we were not yet done.And as of last night, my fears were confirmed.As I lay sleeping in my chamber, a spirit came to me, and told me that the evil one would once again rise to power. It would be many years after our time, and he, along with his dreadful Generals, will have grown in power immensely, and he will manage to gain control from right under our noses.However, at that time, a small group of young men and women would come together through tragic circumstances. These souls would have extraordinary power... at least, more extraordinary than normal. If they stood together, then the world, over time, would finally be preserved,  and the evil one driven out. As I write these words, I can hear the church bells tolling nine.
Nine bongs... has never been a good sign.

Right now, after well over ten pages, we've yet to mention the "Evil One", but for maybe one time.  Being that we've stayed in the school or around it, there's been no real opportunity to introduce to topic past the tolls, and even our characters' powers have been set aside.  Maybe we're unaware to the latter, sure.  And since the former is a myth, we may not have much faith in the old legends.  But there still hasn't been any introduction to anything of the sort that could kickstart the plot.

On top of that, I've yet to see a significant PLOT at all.  We've got an angel and a hellhound, and they're friends with no ill effects.  I can't personally really start one either, because I don't know anything about the characters themselves outside of a few physical characteristics, and on occasion, a few smaller powers.  It one thing to play a sandbox RP, but quite another to market it as an action adventure with a sandbox play out.

I'm not putting you guys down.  It's... interesting playing this roleplay with you, and I don't mind a slow start, but this is a bit much.  Again, I'm sorry to leave, but I can't get into the story as it's playing out.

[kivabunny]

hold out just a bit more, ok? i'll see what i can do

[Cifero Windtail]

Aldrea, just hold on... I was getting to that, but i had to adapt... Now we can get down to buisness...




And also, please can we not have Rachel be a spy? she's too nice... ;-;

[Aldrea945]

*Sighs.* Alright.  I'll try.    Could someone just tell me what the grounds look like?  I haven't seen any descriptions.

That's the most fun.    Kinda like Lucinda.  The nice ones are the ones you'd never expect.  Plus, she might get torn between sides when it comes down to the wire. 

[Cifero Windtail]

Alright... Have her be a reluctant spy... but later on... let her be normal at first, then get it jumped on her. Is that ok?

[Jormungdang]

Is it possible that I can join? I was interested in maybe playing a general that eventually joins the hero's side.

Post Merge: April 28, 2013, 12:25:46 PMName: Jorm Gandre[/color]
Age: 20[/color]
Occupation: Mercenary/Expert Blacksmith[/color]
Height: 5'10"[/color]
Weight: 175 lbs[/color]
Appearance: Refer to my avatar pic. A friend drew him for me.[/color]
Clothing: Blue sweatpants held up with a white belt, which has purple fur around the rim. A thick, iron manacle attached to a broken chain hangs from the demonic arm. On the other, white bandages have been wrapped around his hand.[/color]

Weapon: The Mourning Blade (It wails in pain when in senses blood or danger. It is also forged from corundum.)[/color]

[/color]Abilities: As he is demonically cursed, he can utilize blood, including his own, as a weapon by causing it to erupt or pierce through enemies. The more blood there is around him, the stronger he gets. His pressure nerves have been dulled and so he cannot feel pain.
[/size][/color][/size]
 
[/color][/size]Personality: Shifts from reckless to tactiturn in an instant. He also seems to lose his sense of self in battle and laughs hysterically at the sight of blood.

[Cifero Windtail]

Alright... any choice power-wise?

[Jormungdang]

Well, as I said under abilities, his attacks focus on blood. He can fashion it into a blade and slice people with it. He can also turn into a demon made of blood, once every five days (week, if that is too overpowered) increasing the strength of his attacks and allowing him to dodge most normal physical attacks as well. (can't dodge powers or area effects)

[Cifero Windtail]

ok, the demon thing might be interesting.... but tone it down a bit. But no blood explosions please. That's a bit overpowered, since that means he could pretty much kill anyone with one hit...




Well, what does it mean?

[Jormungdang]

It means that he could spurt blood at the ground and then cause it to erupt vertically, each droplet like a tiny needle. that would be one of his attacks. However, since there are no blood explosions i'll only use that as an example here.
 

[Aldrea945]

What are his weaknesses though?  If he can control his own blood and form it to whatever he wants, there's a very high potential for god modding over other characters because of a limitless, or largely limitless, supply of weapons.  Does it make him tired, make him suffer blood loss, make him ill...?
