@Argonaut Its cool, everyone has a fair chance of dying anyway. At least if they're reckless. Someone might come to protect Theon or something?

Vita is going for a scout/ranger vibe. Dunno if outright bow carrying since eh, but somewhat like that. The relic though is on the side of cute, like a bootleg merch of some old magical girl show.

Are goblins like a normal thing? Or should he be thinking wtf?

I'm going for a striker / defender vibe but I'm happy to roll with what ever you dish out. ;)

Elias is John Wick, except with improvised throwing weapons instead of guns.

...

Being more real though, I've no idea what's possible in Arcadia, so I'll patiently see what's up before making any decisions. For the relic, I don't mind whatever you make, as long as it's interesting and not related to time manipulation.

@Moyai Good to know. I'll see what we'll end up with.

@Dark Light Yeah, monsters and fiends are scattered all around. Probs normal for locals. For you guys, either's cool.

@ERode Gotcha. Was kind of leaning away from that anyway.

As for what's possible, I'll see if I can sneak in some examples in the next posts.

@Gobby Gonna confirm real fast. Are our characters wearing modern clothing? Did they come into this world when they fell asleep? Or was it like...they were doing normal everyday stuff before blinking and appearing in this new scenario? And what about their personal belongings?

@ERode 
[✓] Modern clothing
[✓] Normal everyday stuff or just waking up, either is cool.
[✓] Everything they had on them before they were brought to Arcadia. Tech stuff most definitely wouldn't work anymore though.

I am interested in this. Here is my CS, hope it's alright!

Name:Jamie Kyrielight 

Gender: Female

Age:  19

Appearance: Jamie is fairly tall, standing at about 5'11. She refuses to disclose her weight, only citing herself as being "Skinny yet somehow heavier than you'd think." Always wears a silver necklace with an cross in a circle attached to it.

Personality: Throughout her life Jamie has always been the girl you run to when someone is in trouble and you don't know what to do. From there she would do one of two things. Give the best advice she can about the problem. Or she would go take care of it herself. That's not to say Jamie would help with anything, she has a very strong moral compass and is unafraid to let you know if she thinks you're in the wrong. But when it comes to people in trouble, she just can't say no. Some people call her a pushover or  because of this, but she doesn't really think so. Jamie just thinks that if everyone helped each other out more often instead of focusing on their own worries, the world could be a much better place. 

Outside of all that she's a very friendly person as one would expect, some people might describe her as being bubbly at all times almost. Of course when she sees something she sees as wrong, she won't hesitate to step in and do something about it, even if it might get her in trouble. One of her guilty pleasures is eating sweets, she absolutely loves all kinds of sweet food and drinks. She doesn't have many hobbies due to most of her time being spent helping others, but she does enjoy watching anime when she has the time. 

Background: Born in a small town in the middle of Colorado, Jamie was raised to always help people in need. Her mother was very sick ever since she was born and her dad had never been around, so she always had a lot of work on her shoulders throughout her life. But she never complained, well that's not quite true. She would complain every now and then, but she never meant anything by it, she would always help out with a smile and a light hum in her voice. This continued on for about 15 years before her life took a sudden turn when her mother's condition got worse. She was moved to a larger hospital out in the city and Jamie had to adjust to the fast paced and sometimes cruel world of the big city. 

She did lots of odd jobs and worked at convenience stores to pay the bills, but it was all for nothing. Jamie's mother died a year later with only Jamie at her side. She mourned for a month with nobody to help her, all she had to her name was an empty apartment with basic furniture and a small laptop. She picked herself up regardless and continued on with her life. She graduated from high school at the age of 17 and went to work full time at a variety of places, picking up a lot of skills over the next two years.

While Jamie is happy with her life now, she feels as if she could be doing more still. While she enjoys helping people out in the city, they don't really need her help. She feels as if there are people somewhere else in trouble, people who's lives are in danger and only she can save them. But soon her life will once again take a new direction, maybe she'll get her wish... 
 
Peculiarities: Jamie has picked up a lot of skills from helping everyone she can, she's also built up a bit of muscle from all the heavy work she's done, but there's only a few things she can claim to be really good at. At least, she likes to think she's good at them.

Baseball: During elementary school one of her friends roped her into a baseball team because "They just needed one more member for the school to approve them!" She ended up being a natural at it, being one of the best hitters in the town. So she's pretty good at swinging a bat.

Memory: Jamie has a very good memory, able to recall most things she's seen at the drop of a hat. This ranges from some dumb fact she saw in a magazine article, up to the entire essay she wrote on medieval weaponry.
 
Relic: A simple silver necklace with a cross in a circle attached to it. It was the last birthday present her mom ever got her, which was strange considering she was a Buddhist. She claimed to have liked the shape and thought it looked good on Jamie.

@floodtalon Jamie's welcome to join in. That gives us an even group of eight.

As I did with everyone else...
You guys could start thinking of professions or at least the type of character you guys want your to develop into, just so that I can get an idea. If you're the type to go with whatever you get, I'm fine with that too.@Gobby

@floodtalon The good old sword and board, huh? Gotcha! I'll see what I can get you.

If anyone was curious, as of now, its a part of eight with 3 off-tanks, 1 support, 3 attackers. Lial's the wild card, I guess.

Any of our attackers specialise in range? 

Hmm I think my attack style will be fast and hard, not in it for the long game. A bit reckless, close quarters, end it and move on. 

Kind of like if a raging barbarian had improved initiative, sneak attack, flurry of blows and dodge. The first hit is a really good one that hits them right in the sweet spot before they're even ready. 
Next he just wildly pummels, throwing attack after attack, amped up on adrenalin and rage. Only focusing on defending against one attacker.
And at the end of that he really hopes they are down. He's a bit exhausted, trying to catch his breath and now he can feel the impact of the attacks he shrugged off earlier.

Now it's the Tanks turn to step in... Hopefully we have a healer.

;) 
Just a thought, could end up in a totally different direction depending on what happens.

Tentative Archer, Mage, and Knife-User.

But these are just general ideas and I'm pretty sure most are gonna deviate from what they've initially planned.

I'm using the first few posts to see what relic each one would get. I kinda have Ryder's figured out already. Not sure if it'll probably fit in his whole berserker/barbarian style of fighting.

Lol, that's probably a good thing. If he kept that style for the whole game I imagine he might not live to see it through.

@floodtalon No worries now. I said I'd start now, but I'll probs take a while before I finish it. Its more of bits and pieces of the update, just to avoid rushing the entire thing in one sitting.

Are we not going by standard post cycles, where we wait for everyone to post before the GM updates?
