I hope so to.

@Randomguy Samesies.

@Xaltwind Which reminds me. I tried to brainstorm another character, but midway through, I just gave up. I put way too much work into Corvin, so much that it feels wrong having to let him go. So...if I may ask again.



Can I please use Corvin, oh great and powerful GM? Pretty please?! I promise he won't bite anybody...well somewhat promise. ;<< I also edited in his conditional abilities finally.

I dunno man. You're giving up on brainstorming a character when Xalt hasn't even released all the setting lore that they've said they'd written. Maybe wait for the OOC to come out and read up on the world first?

If you really want to only play your own OC disregarding the specifics of a setting, just toss him into your own RP.

@Eviledd1984
While I don't particularly see any reasons to denounce this character, there are a feq things about him that seem off.

For one, if he quit wrestling because he suffered too amny injuries... Why would he pick up adventuring? He traded being an entertainer and athelete for becming someone who needs to genuinely put their own life in danger to make money and survive day-to-day. In addition, he's a tank, the most physically demanding and intense position anyone can have in a party - how does he manage to walk around in heavy armor and take bone-shaking attacks from monsters when he's suffered injuries that forced him to retire?

I'm not saying you can't be a wrestler, I find the concept amusing. I'm just saying that, at this point, his background and choice of swapping careers seem ... Counter-intuitive. Also, if he's in his 40's, he would be one of those alleged older adventurers who think poorly of him. Most human adventurers don't really keep doing the whole adventuring-deal much past that age because of various physical reasons, unless they're blessed with skills that can alleviate those issues.

@Vlad Tepes
Septic-truck cat says No.

As @ERode stated, it is fine that you're all submitting ideas and concepts for characters here in the Int.Chk, but it's probably best if you all wait and see what the lore and specifics of the world are like. I'm currently working on a list of available, playable races and, unfortunately, vampires are not among them.

Vampires, in this setting, aren't created by biting and letting others drink their blood. They're born, much the same way as any other living being. The only thing that'll happen if you get bit is that you either suffer bloodloss, or you get turned into a vampire thrall, which is just a creature that's fallen under their influence and magical control. You can't "become" a vampire in this setting, and the same goes for werewolves/lycanthropes. Of course, you all had no way of knowing this, which is why I again stress what @ERode said:

I appreicate your enthusiasm, but try to hold off until you got all the information and specifics you'll need to create a character. Otherwise, you might just spend a bunch of time and effort on a character who simply won't work or fit with the setting. And I'll feel like a totalitarian jerk who shoots down your work and crushes your dreams becauswe I didn't have everything set up in advance. :(

@Xaltwind

That is fair i was originally going to have it so he changes careers so he can do something meaningful with his life. Would that work? I can also change his age to being in his late and or early thirties so I can include the older timers still giving him a hard time. What do you think?

@Xaltwind



Eh, can't blame me for trying. Fair enough.

That'd be perfectly fine. :)

@Xaltwind

I made some edits to my character sheet, let me know if I need to make any other changes.

Still here! And, should I keep myself from making a character, before the playable races/OOC come out?

@Xaltwind

You can probably think up a basic idea or concept, but you should most likely hold off on posting a "finished CS" or prototype. To save yourself some grief, that is.

It is always nice to have some basic ideas in mind, especially when thinking of initial characters such as "I am feeling a tank character", or having an idea of what kind of skills/etc based on the lore so far.

I always find the best bit is when you get the juicy lore details for the world, then go "what would be fun in a world like this", there may be certain factions or nuances which are appealing. Then it is slotting the basic idea with the character idea, creating something fun and interesting to explore the world and tell a collaborative story with the GM and other players where all have fun.

I have some unfortunate news for everyone.

I'm going to have to to cancel this RP.

The main reason has to do with a current RL situation which involves my family, which has become inreasingly mentally and emotionally draining. To the point that I simply don't have the energy or motivation to run an RP right now. The progress I've managed to make on the OOC over this past week has been laughably little, and one of my most important rules whenever I run an RP is: Have fun. Now, that applies to me myself as well, and if I'm not having fun when I'm creating the world and lore for you guys to play in, how are you going to be able to enjoy and have fun in it?

Sure, I could force myself to finish things up and keep writing, I've done gone down that road in the past, but it never works out particularly well. As such, rather then subject myself to having more on my plate and doing something that, at the moment, I'm not able to enjoy or give my all to, I thought it better to shut things down before any major effort or time was spent on something that won't even be mediocre.

I'm terribly sorry and feel really crappy that so many of you showed interest, asked so many questions and were genuinely excited to join this RP, only for me to go ahead and say: "Haha, nope." out of nowhere. ALthough I did mention I was having some issues in an earlier post (I think?). Still, all I can do is apologize and ask that you understand. I don't want to make a roleplay that isn't fun for you to play in, or for me to work on. It's not that I didn't have fun thinking it up or creating it, but in my curret state and situation, well, nothing really feels fun at the moment.

Enough excuses though.

I hope you'll all be able to find another roleplay to join and enjoy instead. Maybe someday in the future, once this whole crapfest that's going on right now is over, I'll come back to and give this another go. For now, I wish you all good luck and and hope you'll have fun in whichever new RP you join.

Yours sincerely,
