Wassup guys! Looks like it was quieting a bit, so I figured I might throw an application in, if you don't mind.

I got a Knight incoming to balance things out, just giving him a bit of love. Also, I am not for/against having my noble and knight remain a pair. If someone wants to mix things up, sure!






Also, my favorite BOOK character is Lightsong from Warbreaker.
“I swear, my dear. Sometimes our conversations remind me of a broken sword."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Sharp as hell," Lightsong said, "but lacking a point.”

Also, while I am working on the other character sheets, would you like any help making banners/graphics for the RP?

I can also put together a campus map for the classes, dorms, etc.

And is there going to be an official arena for dueling?

@Gate Keeper You can certainly help us do all of that! And I honestly forgot about an arena, lol. That would be important. Yeah, there's an arena, probably located with the gym, if not nearby it.

I have an extra knight to spare if you don't want to pair yours together. xD

Sure!
Maybe we should make a list of knightless nobles and nobleless knights, might help people coordinate better.

@Gate Keeper I've made a list of the pairings so everyone knows. :P

Also, I like the characters but my idea wasn't necessarily like Kingdoms in modern day. It was more like... Future CEOs and Leaders being groomed that way. Though, it would be interesting to have Kingdoms in modern day. However, it's more like a title than them actually being Nobles and Knights as one would think.

Your CSs seem to imply the "Kingdoms in a Modern setting" vibe. I apologize if we gave the wrong impression (I can see where many would assume this to be more Kingdoms and fiefs rather than Companies and such.

Important Stuff


Alright, it was the terms 'nobles' and 'knights' being thrown about that confused me, and I will edit my CS's to match the theme, thanks for the heads up!

Though, in Kelvin's case, is the armor and equipment still appropriate, under the assumption that gunpowder never formed? (Assuming Arms and armor would still exist like swords, albeit in a modernized sense.)

It's my bad, I had my wisdom teeth out five hours ago, so I probably just missed it. xD Please give me a bit of time to fix up the CS's

@Gate Keeper Yeah, that's completely understandable. It's not the first time, I assure you.

In terms of Kelvin's equipment, I would take a look at the "Extra" info I put into the OP (The first post of the OOC) where I explained how duels and weaponry work. And yes, it's only gunpowder that did not make the grade in this AU. But yes, all weapons in this RP are mechanical in one way or another and do not rely on gunpowder. Chuks seems to know a bit about that sort of stuff, so I'd recommend asking him for some advice on possible weapon choices. But I have no problem with the equipment you listed for him though it's not necessary to list it out as I won't be for my characters. Mostly because I'm lazy and a terrible person but yanno.

You'll have plenty of time to fix up those CSs. I'd like to have at least some idea of the area we'll be RPing in before we official start. Though if we don't get maps soonish, I may just start us up anyway.

Also, I'm looking for a reliable co-GM as I'll be headed back to school on Monday (College is FUN! >.>) So if anyone is interested, let me know. If you happen to be interested, Gate Keeper, I can sort of tutor you on how things run around here (I noticed you're a bit new to the Guild, but I assume not to RPing by the looks of your CSs.) So, just let me know. I need need need need one if we want this RP to continue running as I'll be very busy this semester.

@HylianRose
I tend to get a bit busy as well, and I lack proper gming experience. I don't feel like I would contribute enough to warrant being the Co-GM, and there are others here who have more experience with it.

I don't mind helping out where I can though. I have been roleplaying for six years now, the majority of it spent in what this forum considers 'Advanced Roleplay' so plotting and character design are no trouble for me. (Though you should really question any graphics I put out while on painkillers for my teeth >_> )

Also, some questions on our official lore. Your twist is that gunpowder wasn't developed, and weapons tend to be mechanically powered, right?


Sorry if I come across as difficult, I love worldbuilding, and I think answering these might make our lives (and yours) a bit easier.

You are probably one of my favorite types of people to have in a RP. Yes, please help me flesh out the world. I am neither perfect nor ambitious. In fact, I'd call myself a terrible GM but that's for another day. I'll have to send you the Pad link here in a bit so you can help more easily.

You don't come across as difficult, so long as my silly ass doesn't feel threatened by it which is more complicated than you'd think. But as of right now, I feel like my ideas need to be challenged and fleshed out. Just be wary that I often contradict myself because I'll say one thingm realize I'm wrong and switch without so much as a blink. So ye.

Now, to the questions. So far, all I have is that gunpowder wasn't invented and melee weapons are the weapons of choice. I was assuming that electricity would remain the same as our own time, but slightly more advanced. So yes, electric guns are entirely possible. I wasn't thinking steampunk, more light cyberpunk than steampunk. (Though I would not call it Cyberpunk in the slightest.) Also, everything is pretty much the same in terms of countries and such. Unless you history buffs out there can give me the background on what would happen to the countries if gunpowder never existed. (I'm sure my boyfriend would try.)

I'll send you that link right now so we can move this over there. It's an etherpad similar to GoogleDocs in that we can all edit the same document.

well, without Gunpowder, most revolutions wouldn't get very far. It was the ability of any common man to pick up a gun and be able to battle effectively that really allowed revolts to be effective. That's not to say there weren't revolts before guns, but typically they were just untrained fighters swinging scythes and pitchforks. So by extension, America would probably be a European country, along with any other major battles that took place after gunpowder based weaponry was invented going completely differently.

@crestfallen You're not late! I'll probably start up IC sometime today (Since it's now the 5th technically) or the next day, but I'll wait for your CSs and for all the Knight and Noble pairings to be settled.

@SouffleGirl123 No... But a friend from high thought he was asexual for a while before he dated me because she thought he only loved dinosaurs and they were extinct so he couldn't date them.

@chukklehed That makes sense. So America as how we see it, probably doesn't exist here and until the discovery of electricity as a weapon choice, most of the world had already been dominated in some shape or form by mother country England. But for the sake of keeping things simple, we're just in a random European Country which if someone would like to name, they certainly can.

Ah, but wouldn't a lack of gunpowder remove Englands ace? You could argue that continental European powers would be better off, because of better resource access. British navy isnt much minus their cannons... interestingly,Japan would be much better off in this world, despite being an age behind the other nations. Ironclad warships might not take off, except as fireproofing, and old roman seige equipment would remain dominant. I wouldn't be surprised If Greek Fire survived up to present because of the lack of gunpowder.

Also a valid point.

See, this is why I'm not studying to become a history teacher. Lol.
I neither care for nor get history much.
