Hello, I might be interested in this. I'd like to know more about a few things, though.

Is it possible to play some kind of witch/wise woman-type character? I realize that actual magic is a low-key business in this setting, but that's exactly how it should be, thus very interesting to me. Seeing as I'm coming in 'late', it could perhaps make sense that this witch lives at the outskirts of the city, in some murky swamp or wetlands.

Anyway, just want to get a dialog going, so there it is.


Hola!

Yep, I can definitely see that working. She'd be outcast by society, so the swamp setting would work very well. There'd probbably lots of superstition surrounding her, with many people finding it difficult to discern the fact from fiction.

@Kingfisher I imagine the character to be a kind of gypsy, fortune teller-styled witch. She's middle aged, and appears a bit capricious, disoriented, and chaotic to others. However, she herself is perfectly calm and organized in that disorder, which would enhance that superstition.

Maybe she has some kind of trade that keeps her relevant to the outside world and the gangs/individuals of the city. You mentioned charms to reinforce weapons and containers, so maybe she'd be into that. And, also, maybe she'd possess some kind of formula that spikes the potency of Fairy Dust, or prevents coma in the event of overdosing.

However, I doubt she'd get herself involved in whatever is going on in the city without being dragged into by someone else. Is it possible to get an NPC or player to seek her out? Create some kind of urgency for her to get involved?

@Prisk Actually in one of the plots we had previously, xsilentwingx and I (our characters) came across a tome which might be related to the main plot. We could tie your character in to the main plot by seeking the witch in the swamps out and having you examine/decrypt the tome because none of us are adept at blood-using magic (yet, because silentwing's character could have the potential), perhaps what your character discovers could lead to her involvement?

Well my character has loads and loads of connections in the city, moreso after I introduce my second character.

He's looking for answers and a way to kill the undead bitch that's everyone's problem right now so he might look for the witch to maybe find a way to put her down.

I'm rather sure that the information on who is behind this is not so readily available yet.

Given that the only few investigating this particular case the entire time, hasn't even had the time to even tell anyone.

Post up finally. Busy time for me at the moment sadly.

I'd like to get Atticus stuck into the mist of the story now, so will be looking to build to interaction/collab very soon. I'll be looking to keep tomorrow eve open for me to work on some things, plus I've still not had a chance to read the last few posts, which I definitely want to do.

Other than the crusades I think another interesting period would be the colonisation/new world phase. Especially with the Spanish conquistadors and the Incans and all of that – imagining ‘The Royal Hunt of the Sun’ but with numerous new world beasties coming out of the wood-works. Probably a few that were completely wiped out like the indigenous natives and things, lost races and all of that.

Someone who could enchant weapons would certainly been in high demmand, especially with the recent lycan problem. There are plenty of characters available who could introduce her into the game. I'm sure someone would be up for that, and mine are always onhand if required.

I've got my small cluster of character's if you fancy doing something collaborative.

I was just contemplating what Ancient Egypt would have been like, with the Pharaohs possessing lots of multi-species slaves.

@potatochipgolem@DJAtomika
Both of those sound great to me, if it works for everyone else and the GM.

Here's the character sheet for this witch-type character. I turned out a bit different from what I had first imagined, but it seems decent enough. I'm ready to adjust wherever needed.

So... @Kingfisher would you be quite all right if I went off and dropped the plot with RIengo. I don't really want to get caught up waiting, get left behind, and then have to drop out...and if so does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do? Not opposed to coming up with it on my own, but it would be nice to hear anyone else's input.

@Prisk Sophia is accepted! Feel free to put her Character Sheet in the CS tab.

@Strawberry425 Aye, that's fine it's unfortunate that it's had to come to that, but alas its beyond control.

As for plot ideas, Chase being a non-hunter affiliated werewolf would probbably be a prime target for the Hunters now that they've come calling. Equally, the Reaper threat is something Chase and Johansen might be interested in stopping, if you fancy doing some interactions with Maddie.

Another possibility, if ethier were to go outside the law, would be working for Nyx for a little bit. Prehaps being blackmailed or offered something important to them?

@Kingfisher

If you're willingly to collaborate or work something out, I'd be rearing to go outside the law and work with Nyx. Blackmailing Chase about being a werewolf sounds like a splendid idea. And maybe we can toss @potatochipgolem's Vigil into it, heh, heh.

I feel like it would get back to her that Chase was a wolfy, somehow, no? And that Jo's mamma was a vamp? Would it be plausible to say she would blackmail them using those elements?

BTW

Welcome to the rp @Prisk!

Like our avian friend said, it's unfortunate. But I think @Strawberry425 that you can still play without rlengo, I was pming him some crucial details too when he just dropped out without a word mid-discussion, so I know how you feel.

However, the world is not at an end yet as in addition to those suggestions, there's always the option of editing your previous post to not have your character interact with his in the first place (therefore not being tied down). I think that'll also allow to choose with going in another direction, somewhere more lively perhaps?

If perchance there's things you'd like me to help out with, let me know through pm! I'm on medical leave recently so I have more time than usual and I'm always ready to help another writer.

----------------------------------------

There are no IFs when it comes to Vigil's willingness to ruin any werewolf, only how far he will go. :P.

@potatochipgolem

I think that's a splendid idea. Just gonna skedaddle back and make the posts more ambiguous in their direction so I can sew them into a subsequent post aiming somewhere else in Somabra. And I shall keep that in mind...what happened though? You okay?

I have, very poorly, edited the very last post. Very poorly, I warn you all. I will focus on a better post for the next one.

@potatochipgolem Well it's more or less a given that several people know that the Cannoness is behind everything. If and when our characters do meet @Prisk, they will be basically acting on their own agendas up until they realise that they're all after the same person.

@Strawberry425 It (my medical status) just sounds worse than it really is. :>. That wasn't a poor edit on those posts btw, I thought the changes were smoothly written. [ 'v']b

@DJAtomika But I think that is just a title that could merely point at any female, with the 'ness'. That could be given to literally anyone. Not exactly pinpoint who or even what is behind this just like that.

I plan to write an introduction post tomorrow, or there about. It will mostly set things up for my character and her personal story, but it will open up for visitors at the end, and hopefully I can get into the swing of things.

Then let me be the first to jump on that bandwagon!

Major Kudos to you and Pig, these posts have all been excellent thusfar, and I can't wait to see where they end up, and what comes next for Andy!

The same goes for everyone; these posts been unlike anything I've experienced in a roleplay before, and I've never felt the setting come alive to this degree. Y'all are mothafudging awesome. Keep doing your thing.
