[OOC] Protea - The Ebon Flow

[SpookySquid]

Oh, in regards to world building, I kind of want to make some antagonists or just bad guys. I want to have more fun with spells, see, and the forbidden affinities are begging to be played around with.

Or at least NPCs, I have some ideas for stuff. I just want to play around with what I can do, basically.

@Lord Santa

Wow! Catch up guys! I've already made an entire species! (JK) XD

But in regards to what Oswald said, I've got an idea for a few obscure beasts, outside of the ones that I feel are almost a given in Protea (*cough, cough* Dragons *cough, cough*)

Here's one

Aumalynchos (Bonus Ducks)

Aumalynchos are massive duck creatures that have a nasty habit of popping in unexpectedly. These guys stand at a whopping 15 feet tall (on average). They tend to have white or brown feathers and can be found wandering Protea in groups of 4-6. They are incredibly aggressive towards basically everything, even other families of Aumalynchos. So what makes them unique? These ducks are able to breathe fire! Not impressed yet? It's golden fire and anything touched by these flames turns into a wonderful pirate snack (gold). In addition, all Aumalynchos have three green venomous feathers on each wing. These can be used as projectiles, but unfortunately, using all six will cost an Aumalynchos it's life, similar to how a bumblebee dies shortly after using a stinger. These dangerous feathers will either be blue or green. The brighter the color the more venomous the bird is, and green feathers are always more venomous. They are easy to train by magicians using simple mind control spells (the birds are fairly simple minded creatures), but anyone else will find training an Aumalynchos more trouble than it's worth. They are fairly uncommon, and according to some followers of the Pantheist church, seeing one on the ground is supposed to be horribly bad luck, but seeing a family in the sky means that you have been blessed. Despite their aggressive nature, an Aumalynchos diet consists of primarily roots and grasses. They will eat meat, but only when desperate for food.

*Edited so it doesn't sound like I'm Billy Mays. Added some additional info while keeping it moderately humorous, but not quite as over the top as they were before.*

Please do exactly that. When I was choosing from my characters, I realized that I have more bad guys who fit into this setting than good guys. Ended up with Mancer, but I'm going to have more. Just be sure to give a credible reason for your character being evil. It can be anything from being a demon to having a magical affliction to circumstance to insanity, but bad guys with interesting backstories are always way better than the 'for the evulz' fellas you sometimes see.

@Lugubrious

Alright, thanks. I got 2 ideas for NPCs right now. One's a terrorist freedom fighter, for the Arcadian commune if we ever get there.

The other is the mind sculptor, and let's just leave him at that for now.

So I'll work on those as well, should wifi permit it.

Also, I came up with another affinity combo. Terra + Viniculum = Gravity magic, or Aura + Viniculum = Gravity magic. Either one.

[Lugubrious]

Uh, spooky, I can't tell if you're serious about the ducks or not.

I've already put down gravity as a division of Astra. Potentially, Terra and Astra could be combo'd into a spell to create blocks of earth to which someone/things have gravitational attraction.

[metagros]

I'm tempted to join... But don't exactly expect greatness from me, I'm a free role player, but I will try my best to do the 1+paragraphs

[harinezumikouken]

Aww, no worries. As long as your writing is understandable and spelling, grammar within reason you'll be fine. Type up and submit a CS.

[metagros]

now i just need to read EVERYTHING......o god....

@metagros

Not everything, I believe the most important parts are divided and outlined.

[metagros]

still going to read everything

[harinezumikouken]

@metagros

That'd benefit you best. @Lugubrious: Oi, since there is a two character limit. I'm thinking of making a traveling companion/vassal for Marianne as it would be fitting seeing how she's of noble blood. Thinking a hunting/Dire Wolf that uses telepathic communication.

[Lugubrious]

I will hold you to our standards, meta, but I won't be needlessly cruel. I trust that if someone gives you feedback on a way you might be able to improve, you'll take it in good faith.

Sick. Expect another CS later today.

@Lugubrious

I'm just saying that as a heads up.I'll try my best
Also I can't get the cs up today, dads using the computer

[Lugubrious]

Don't feel rushed, meta. We've got several days before we start still.

I'm currently trying to see if @bluemoon277 is still with us.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

I wasn't kidding XD XD it would be fun XD XD

@SpookySquid

You're going to have to make the entry a little more serious first unfortunately.

@lugubrious
Can I create a character who specializes in Sano but has dabbled in Motruus?

@BlackCat

Indeed you may! Welcome to the RP. I predict that it'll be a medic who wields the Bonemold division to repair fractures but also eviscerate enemies when the going gets tough?

@Lugubrious

Yeah, I was thinking I'd let her do mostly healing, normal healing, transferring of pain, that sort of thing, no other magic types but if the going gets tough then yeah.

[harinezumikouken]

@Lugubrious - Oi, added Ricard to my CS. Give it a look see and tell me if he's fleshed out enough/balanced.
