A year after this RP began, there are still those who express interest in joining. In the interest of fairness, this post also goes out to those that didn't get a chance to complete an application before the RP closed, those who expressed interest but had to be turned away immediately after the RP got started, and those who might want to return after joining and then taking a break. This is a special invitation, and not a complete re-opening of the RP, so depending on crowd size once word gets out please contact me via PM if you're not one of the names mentioned here. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. If you're no longer interested, hopefully the ping doesn't bother you, sorry!

@baraquiel@Chao@Zanderkvothe@Haeo@Pathtowrath@Stabby@CollectorOfMyst

Collector, if you'd like to resume using your original character, send me a PM and we'll figure something out to catch him up.



The following Hiders should contain all necessary info, and should be considered as a sort of secondary Opening Post.
  • NARRATIVE 1 contains a second version of the original Interest Check post, explaining the basic concept of the RP and introducing the Demon King. Can you spot the differences between this and the original? ;)
  • NEW CHARACTER SHEETS contains both a Code CS that can be copy pasted, and an in-depth CS that has an explanation of different parts. There's no Example Sheet this time, so if there are any questions let me know.
  • NEW PLAYER SKILLS includes a blurb about the new mechanics that will be used ONLY for this instance, for the sake of New Players only. Read this carefully, then use the TIER ONE AND TIER TWO lists of skills at the bottom of that first Hider to make your choices.
  • NARRATIVE 2 contains the second version of the original IC post, assuming that New Characters are all on DAY 5 and have thus had their own little adventures in the backstory. Pay close attention to all the differences in your new environment! ;)







And now, to set the scene. As the second group of Damned Heroes, for some reason the Demon King has seen fit to drop you somewhere else...




Please post new character applications in the OOC first, and after I check them out I'll let you know when they're approved for the CS tab. The Discord link has broken, let me know once you're sure you're going to join up and I'll PM you a new one. If you have any other questions, let me know.


And welcome, one and all, New Mooks. Lucky you, you're a half-step from the bottom rung unlike those other shmucks. How's that for your Isekai Cheat?

As a Goblin main, to all you new players, I must say that being a Goblin is definitely a good choice despite the somewhat-limited start. If you haven't been keeping up with the IC, then to TLDR for you, Digbie's a goblin that managed to turn from a jack of all trades and master of none to a very nice support-cleric role.

I'm also not just advertising to try and get more goblins in the game. We've got more goblins than anything else right now, but if I did persuade you into choosing goblin, then hooray!

Wisps are the best choice if you want to use magic, plus the floating makes it a lot harder to trip. Sure your physical strength and defense are low but who cares if you can just attack from a distance.

And yes I am advertising to get more Wisps in the game as there is only one at the moment and all other species outnumber me.

I would just like to state that Ghostbois Adventure Co. has an opening for a healer position, and is currently accepting applicants at this time.

I’m the other goblin in the RP, and if you join me you won’t have to worry about starting off without much gear. Orchid is a master crafter with a small tribe of goblins under her command, and she’s always willing to take in more. Together we will prosper. I only ask that you cooperate and try not to be too violent with me, since mediating conflicts between us reincarnated and the locals have been an uphill struggle.

@Zeroth, I have a question regarding my understanding of the skill tiers. Am I correct that a tier 2 skill would cost 0.1 per 0.05 in progress during character creation?

On a side note, I'm working on a wisp.

Also, the Discord link didn't get me anywhere.

I ain't here to convince any of you to choose a specific species or even join up with my party. That's all up to you to decide in the future.
Just choose something you like and have fun with it. Everything else will fall into place soon enough.
All I'm here to do is to say:
"Welcome/Welcome Back to the RP!"

I do hope we get along well and you all stay a while.

A Tier 2 Skill will cost twice as much. A Tier 1 Skill that has reached Rank I and is being pushed towards Rank II would cost the same.

So when you spend 1 Skill point on a Tier 1 Skill that hasn't reached Rank I, you would get 0.1 Skill Progression per Skill Point. So getting Crafting I right off the bat, that would cost 10 Skill Points.

When you spend 1 Skill point on a Tier 2 Skill, or a Tier 1 Skill that has reached Rank I already, you will get 0.05 Skill Progression per Skill Point. So if you spent 10 points to get Crafting I, then spent more on it to get Crafting II, you would have to spend another 20 points. If you wanted to get Fireball to Rank I, that would also cost 20 points.

Since you only have 30 to work with right off the bat, it probably seems like there aren't enough skill points to catch up with most of the other players. However, you could potentially just spend 1 or 2 points per Skill so that they're on your UNUSABLE list--and then, by practicing in-game, accelerate the progression of those skills. It's up to you guys whether you would like to have one stronger skill added to your abilities, or if you want to spread out so that you have a variety of skills later on.

Also, remember that your Species Skills are a little different. Since you're a Wisp, you would automatically start with Mana Orb at Rank I. Getting Mana Orb to Rank II would actually only cost you 10 Skill Points, though after that it would cost twice as much like the Tier 2 skills. So if you wanted to be an uber-specialist, you could potentially dump all your points and start out with Mana Orb Rank III. It would probably spend all your MP every time you used it, but it would also one-shot any other NPC Wisp or Pixie and do SIGNIFICANT damage to any other creature.

Whatever you decide to do, think carefully! ;)

So the extra points and skills are from their first or so week of survival and need to be written in as part of their new history in the character sheet?

That's the general idea, but there's no need to try and novelize all of it since some of their backstory can be fleshed out IC as well. For instance, if you're a Pixie and you decide you wanted to put some Skill Points into Fireball, maybe give a blurb about trying to test out different magic and being inspired to try harnessing the fire element because you saw the goblins making fire with drill sticks. If it's something simpler, like Smash or Crafting that you might get just over the course of fighting or working on various things, don't feel like you HAVE to add a lot of detail about it in your backstory.

Basically, I want a gist of what the character has been doing in their new life, but you don't have to try and cram 50 pages worth of RP into it.

Okay I have three tips for any newcomers interested in making magic users in general and for Wisps specifically since you can't move if you're completely out of MP even if Levitation doesn't drain any MP.

  • 1 Learn Meditate or some other way to regain MP
  • 2 Learn Meditate or some other way to regain MP
  • 3 Don't get just magic skills, get some physical ones as backup

I fully second this, even as a goblin main. Earth Vein is fantastic and it's single-handedly probably made Digbie one of the most reliable characters IMO.

And don't be afraid to try and do some stupid shit on a leap of logic. It might pay off in the end. I used the first group's boss's skull as ammo for Stone Shot and managed to activate a skill synergy and kinda go Saitama on him. It didn't do a fantastic amount, but it did knock him right on his ass.

I mean she has yet to even get out of her starting area (let alone do anything in it,) so until she's out I'd be surprised that she runs into any pre-established groups.
