I'd be interested if we got enough players and perhaps a bit more of a centralized plot. Do you have anything in mind?

Yeah guys, my notifactions are jacked up! Didnt realize there was any interest! But yes there is a plot in play and i have plans to develop it when you guys are ready to play. It centers around a certain treasure that brings fame and fourtune to any who find it! Thus explorations must take place around each main city to add another piece to the puzzle

I'd be a bit more curious myself if I knew what the true 'setting' is, such as what era of technology or what realm of fantasy are we working with? Also, what 'restrictions' to equipment/abilities would each character have in relation to this setting?

Me too. On second thought, I probably shouldn't because I need to get my offline life taken care of. Depends on how fast of a pace it will go.

Personally, I think that's probably enough interest to merit a thread :p


So what's the setup? Would it be appropriate to play a law man, or are we going to be more of a law-less type of group?

But of course a law man would work. My hopes for the thread are simple. Make it what you want. I as the storyteller will mold it ro what you want. I picture a blank canvas in ways of occupation and story progression! As dor the tech. I picture a mix of steam punk and arcane magic. A staff and a .45 caliber reciporcating piston pistol so to speak. The thread is up and character cards would be welcome if that answers your questions but if you have more ill answer them gladly! And as for progression thread wise i see it as a daily post or an hourly post depending on your time frame. My threads are usually laid back but ill try to help it move as quickly as possible for those who jave the time to invest.

While on that point i would love to have a second mod. I work alot and would love one of you fine people to help with the thread and keep it running if i become too busy. Pm me if interested. And thank you all for showing interest in Vatamos and i hope to have it running as soon as your characters have been selected and approved and my second mod chosen! Thank you all!

Well I will just post a generic character sheet format that I typically use. Still a WIP


EDIT: Just saw you had a format posted in the main thread, you may want to paste that over here :P



Name: Anthony Cheg
Age: 31
Species: Binturong "Bear Cat"
Gender: Male
Class/Fighting Style: Paladin-Esque
Profession: Former Guard Captain, currently working as a freelance peacekeeper in Dock Port City.


Description: Standing at a stout 5'6", at first the heavily armored binturong does not appear overly threatening by stature alone. He has a heavy stance and a confident gait, though he is often somewhat quiet and friendly when approached. Most of his form is covered by a heavy suit of armor, that fits the man almost like a second skin, clearly tailored to his exact measurements and well-used. Where exposed his fur is a deep midnight black, accented by grey highlights that are most visible in direct light. He has dark amber eyes sparkle with golden embers whenever he is excited, and a fairly circular face typical of his species. His hair is shaved to the same length as his fur, if he has any, giving him a rather plain appearance. The helmet or his armor is almost always kept strapped at his hip, banging loudly if he moves too quickly, and includes a slitted face-guard.


History: Classically trained as a city guardsman for Mountain Gate for most of his teenage years, Anthony climbed through the ranks at a rapid pace even from a relatively young age. He had reached the rank of Captain by the time he was 24, and served many years dutifully keeping the city safe from the myriad of threats that commonly came against it. Known for his tactical mindset and tendency to lead by example, he was much liked by the people and the honest men of his order, but he drew the ire of many of his competitors. He made enemies among the guard by rooting out corruption and making sure that those who abused their station were punished swiftly and without mercy. Anthony was no fool, however, and knew that plots were quickly being made to undo what he had brought about. He was fully prepared to fight for his station and his sense of justice, until one of his informants inside the lower social circles told him that they did not just plan on killing him, the plan was to massacre the entire guard unit under his command. And so, on his 30th birthday he announced his early retirement, much to the surprise and dismay of those closest to him. He left quickly, and without saying many goodbyes, knowing that the longer he lingered in the city the more danger there was that his friends would be put in harms way. He worked as a caravan guard for a time, before settling in Dock Port City. DPC did not have a formal guard, or any real government, but Anthony Cheg was still a man of justice. He set up a private bodyguard practice, and now works on beating the corruption out of arguably the most corrupt city there is, for a reasonable price.

Weapons:
- Gravity Hammer (Not the Halo one)- This astounding invention of some mad wizard or alchemist somehow found its way into the hands of the Captain. It can tune itself to the magical abilities of its user, and resembles a heavy warhammer with a spinning, glowing plate set one either side of the massive, rectangular head of the weapon. The glowing of this plate streaks across the head and shaft of the weapon like veins, the only flaw in the weapon's meticulous construction. It has a different effect for each user, but for Tony it allows him to amplify or decrease the weight of the weapon. The glowing disc and veins turns a dark purple when it grows heavier, or a brilliant bright blue when it has been lightened. It is made largely out of some bronze-colored metal, aside from the head which appears to be  a stone-like material that is similar to white marble.
-A heavy, single-bladed short sword kept sheathed and strapped at his right hip.

Armor: Insignia Plate Armor (minus helmet), polished steel. It is finely crafted, and angled in such a way as to deflect most direct blows from a blade. The elbow-guards have curved blades sweeping backwards from them, which are useful as auxiliary weapons.
Magic-Negating manacles are kept looped through the left side of his belt, the key kept on a thin braided chain around his neck.

Abilities/Skills: Anthony is skilled with a particular school of magic that allows him to manipulate gravity in a localized area, or on a particular object. It is a rare form of magic that stems from his convictions of law and order. While powerful, this magic has many limitations, including the fact that it can only be invoked against those who work against these principals. It can also only be used a small number of times a day, as it is highly taxing on the body. The exception to this is the Gravity Hammer, which works off of the magic of the weapon itself and does not draw any energy from the user aside whatever it takes to swing the weapon.


Aside from this magical ability he is a capable fighter, and has a modicum of skill with most common weapons, though he prefers two-handed melee weapons and greatly favors his hammer. He is a fair shot with a bow as well, having been trained during his time with the Mountain Gate Guard.


Flaws or Weaknesses: Due to the style in which he fights, he has difficulties taking on foes with a long reach. He can't swim without removing his armor. Given that his armor is made of simple steel, it is vulnerable to powerful piercing weapons like heavy crossbows or stilettos. Also often gets himself into trouble because of his sense of morality.

Starting City: DPC

Okay, I still am a bit interested, but I would like to know more on the setting? Is there a wilderness (jungle, forest, desert, ect) that our rag-tag group's supposed to explore/find more information about?

Well duh! Thats the whole point. Go to one of the three different capitols and explore the vastly different wildernesses around them. Do jobs for the capitol inhabitants and get information or gold to buy incredible weapons, that kind of thing, and hey you dont have to if you dont want to. You could start a trading company, or even be a ship captain. Do what you want. Follow the time frame and technology limit and everything will be ok lol

Okay, that was a bit more information than initially (or previously) given. As I'll be heading to work soon, I will try to come up with something for a character. I almost want to go with an inventor/machinist type more, but I'd have to tweak up a few things.

Going off of Xavier's setup to make a quick-to-copy-paste idea before posting my own 'card', so a bit of correction may need to be done if something is too off.

[u]Appearance: [/u]
[u]Bio: [/u]
[u]Equipment: [/u]

Anything else you think would be needed to be added?
