Legend of The Emerald Sword [Restart] (OOC - Open)

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Well I suppose if people can scale buildings and traverse rooftops like they're Altaïr/Naruto and use giant swords to make shockwaves that part crowds of people like the Red Sea, then breathing lachrymators wouldn't be too far out there...

Maybe he'll get an update from the Subjugators, authorising the use of his minifacturing module, which is kind of like a Replicator in Star Trek. Who knows?

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Crowds of unnamed/insignificant/weak NPCs. But that's all she has, is strength. Not much speed and more focused on power and destruction.

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Just saying, since these two characters of mine are much more conventional and 'ordinary' soldiers. Which leads me to think that if anybody's gonna die on this quest, it might be them. I'll try not to let that turn into metagaming.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

There are plenty of conventional and "ordinary" soldiers that excel in ways others may not know of.

(A new Challenger has entered the ring!)

Name; Sir Charles Benedict
Age; 42
Allegiance; Karryon Knight
Species; Black Bear
Body type/physical appearance; has black fur with a bit of grey around his muzzle, the tip of his left ear is gone and a very intimidating scar over his right eye leaves him completely blind in that eye, standing in at 7"2' his body is very muscular and massive wearing custom armor given his size but only wears the chest piece with a long blue cape tied on with the kingdoms crest sewn into it, boots/knee guards, gauntlets with ring bracers on upper arms.

Weapons/weapon's names; Wields a large Broad Sword named Blitzkrieg that stands almost as tall as him weighing in at almost a ton baring the Kingdoms crest upon the hilt of the sword, swinging it about with hardly any effort just the weight alone could incap the foes foolish enough to fight him.
Job/skills; The kingdoms commander of Karryon's army and trusted adviser of the king.

Background Story; Charles has lived in Karryon since before his friend took up the throne from prince to king, he was also a friend of Alex's father when he was alive and helped in raising him like an uncle to him, after the death of Alex's father he felt the pain as much as him like losing a brother, when Alex returned and took on the the title "Vigilante of Karryon"  fearing the worst realized the good he was doing and aided him for awhile but earned the title of "The Courage of Karryon" alone they are a force to be recon with, but together almost nothing can stop them.

In his younger years he was as strict and honorable back then like he is now but after fighting war after war in the name of his kingdom, at the young age 23 yrs old, he still trains daily and awaits his next orders, like he lives for the thrill of battle, some say Alex's childish pride in showing off has rubbed off on him a bit, in the later years he has married and has little daughter. In the times of the celebration he is found in the Kings throne room keeping an eye on all who enter in case of a threat, lately he has been suffering from headaches which started around the same time the king has been acting suspicious.


Extra stuff; He may seem like a hard ass at times trying to keep this sorta tough guy attitude up but deep down he is a real softy taking time to stop by the orphanage and play with them telling them stories and bringing treats... he doesn't really say why but when raising Alex he told him that he too was an orphan and understands the pain of being alone, no [/size]one dares to bat an eye towards him or even make fun of him and his reasons for doing it... cause most are afraid of him and what he can do to them. Will drop everything to keep those he cares for safe.

New character, Booyah!

Name: Willia Serafor Valkeria

Age: 26 (Actually 60)

Gender: female

Race: Shade (a type of undead/headless knight)

Rank, Title: Knight of the Red Pool

Appearance: Has long crimson hair, pale skin and crimson eyes and is around 5'8" tall. Clothing: Prefers to wear her crimson armor, which features spikes at the shoulders and ringlet designs on the breastplate. It is made of heavy plate armor. Underneath that, she is wearing a black, leather suit as well as durable boots for trekking terrain. Bandages have been wrapped around her neck in an attempt to secure her head. Carries a large sword that ends in a crescent moon shape, also made of steel.

Personality: Stern and brash, however she does have a somewhat softer side as she listens to music and reminisces her time as a human. This is a contrast to the ever burning rage that lingers in her heart, a call for vengeance that never dies.

History: Willia came from a small village, the same village as her brother Wilfred, and after showing great skill in sword fighting, she was drafted into the Guard. After many successful campaigns, she rose through the ranks and was knighted by the king, claiming the title of Knight of the Red Pool in reference to the crimson armor she always wore in battle. Eight years later, while returning home from a campaign, she was arrested by a guard who claimed her description matched that of a heinous criminal. The rage she felt while dying caused her to transform into a shade, murder the guards and escape with her decapitated head under one arm. Is currently searching for her brother,  as she does not know he died once when her village was destroyed as she was not there.

Abilities: She can form physic mindstreams and command them to pull things closer or shove them away.

Weaknesses: Overusing her abilities exhausts her and if her head is taken away from her, she will listen to the possessor's commands as if they knew her true name, unless it is a command of suicide.

Sister/companion of Wilfred.

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Manfred Hammond won't make a physical appearance, so I'm not making an application for him to be in the RP. Because he would be Chrono Blackwyng-level overpowered.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

meh, Chrono's merely a side player and always needs a leash. his head is usually mostly in the clouds, even before he was busy with school. plus, he's an ignorant son-in-law. (my mate was his furry mother before i became a furry)

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Don't get me wrong, he's a good friend of mine, it's just that none of my characters have really been able to beat any of his, even if they're shooting 800mm artillery with a velocity of ~650,000,000 mph at him... It'll probably just hit him in the chest and come to a complete stop right there (criminal scum) in under a nanosecond. :s

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Meh, he's more of a magical-base, which still goes far beyond science. It's the end's break, in the end.

   Okay time for some rp leader venting...


I forgot to put this down but as the celebration has changed from a single day to a full blown week by the king the days passing will stand for different events all part of the booth sign up and fliers around the kingdom.


Day one; Sign up and registration,


Day two; organization and well finding places to stay in or set up camp for the week.


Day three; Announcement to the ones who "qualify" for the tournament of course by this day a lot other weaker ones have been, in a word cut...


Day four; Preparation and training, testing skills against one another thinning out the herd again. And randomizing the tournament matches.


Day five; Tournament begins with seven separate arenas, each holding randomly matched people going through five matches...


Day six; Tournament continues reaching preliminary round, rest of the day is left for resting or training for tomorrow.


Day seven; Final rounds, and each arena's champion is automatically elected to go on the quest for the Emerald Shard... followed by a huge parade to the castle and celebration for the victors.


Day eight; Preparations for the quest and last goodbyes to all who came... (of course this is when I will make all hell break loose.)


-------


Now onto my fellow rp'ers...


This only the first day and yet seems to be going to fast, it needs to be slowed down a bit.


Nixon; You gotta be more into the story and worry less about telling yours, over time as it progresses you can tell it then, but you seem to be hanging in the back and it would be odd to see yah come out of no where with something you didn't explain before, The use of parenthesis is odd and gets confusing while reading use more third person words. I mean this in up most respect and I know you are new to the serious rp style, but hang in there and you'll get it.


Betrayer; I like the idea of future tech in the old world... but don't love it, it doesn't really seem fair you upgrade your armor to get the upper hand ending with a long dragged out battle for a lucky hit, to one hit kills... not saying completely get rid of the tech, just ease up on the future advantage stuff, other wise it kills the Medieval vibe.


Luke & Jormung; digging the team up effort, but it is still early in the rp... so "PM" each other to keep tabs on what you will be doing and work it out to make it look better, you guy's follow up posts seem rushed with Jormung making it up as he reads your posts Luke, I would say talk it out here but I like surprises and also you two are evil right? lol, but what I mean if you are gonna work together in the rp plan it out with each other instead of making it up as you go. If it seems way out there message me about it.


Shinzuu; Can I count on you to give advice to the others? Cause thanks to work I wont be on as much and could use help from an experienced rp'er... You make me feel like a noob.


Kitten; WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?!


Hinoko; is out... -_-" such a shame.


(that is all, and thank you Also sorry...)
--------------------[size=78%] [/size]

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

I'll help out any way that I can

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Betrayer; I like the idea of future tech in the old world... but don't love it, it doesn't really seem fair you upgrade your armor to get the upper hand ending with a long dragged out battle for a lucky hit, to one hit kills... not saying completely get rid of the tech, just ease up on the future advantage stuff, other wise it kills the Medieval vibe.

Well, the recent thing with the densified armor was just a one-time thing. Manfred looked over the strength, agility, magical power, and other statistics of the planet's average denizens, and gave the two an appropriate upgrade to their armor and weapons to even the odds. They will not advance any further.

About the guns, the matchlock arquebus was deemed too clumsy for the mission, and was replaced with the more reliable but still fairly primitive and single-shot falling-block action firearm. The caliber and velocity have not changed. I briefly considered bolt or lever-action, either with paper or metalic cartridges, but that would enable rapid fire and would be very unfair.

Regarding the hand grenades, there is a weapon called Greek fire that was used by the Byzantine Empire over a thousand years ago. One use of it is kind of like a Molotov, and is a ceramic jar wrapped with a burning cloth and filled with flamable compunds, which are derived from petroleum, plant resin, and other things. The ancient Chinese made hand grenades too, in addition to their early firearms, rockets, and flamethrowers.

And finally, on the subject of DeNihil's Augmentations, which is probably what you're really concerned about, he has had many disabled already. I'll list all the ones that have been left on for the sake of uniqueness, and those that have been turned off for the sake of RP balance, blending in, adhering to Subjugator doctrines, or simply excluded because they wouldn't benefit an Android. There are also some that I'm not sure of yet, and would like to ask about your approval or disapproval of. There may be some redundancy due to copying information off of the Deus Ex Wiki.

Undecided: Cooldown Timer, Emotional Intelligence Enhancer, IFF, Instant Take-Down, Mark and Track, Multiple Take-Down, Regeneration, Social Enhancer.

I think that's all of them, and I think I got everything placed right. Feel free to ask me anything about why certain things are enabled or disabled, or whatever... I'm really tired now, so I'm signing off and returning later after I get some sleep.

Look at these if you want detailed info on any of these Augmentations. Use Ctrl+F to quickly find things you might be interested in, like "Biotox" or "Wayfinder."

EDIT: I've moved some things around now that I'm not tired as Hell. The Undecided list is a lot shorter, and most things that were there before are now in the Disabled/Excluded list. I've also added footnotes for some things.

* These Augmentations were left on due to A: The complete lack of computers and machines on this world, and B: It'd take time to reinstall the software and/or hardware.

** These Augmentations are obsolete next to basic Subjugator military training.

*** These Augmentations are against Subjugator law and were never installed.

[Jormungdang]

I'll be uploading more spells my character can use with shadows later, once I come up with them.

Thanks for the advice. I contact luke and see what he wants to do.

I have a question, we put our names on the accepted list. Does that mean accepted for the tournament?

[Luke White-Heart]

Heh...yeah, I had a feeling I was leading a bit. Sorry about that. Thank you for the advice.
