[OOC] Things I'd Never Do If I Ever Became an Evil Overlord (#121 I will not attempt to use an artifact that I know can only be used by the pure of heart)

[Lady Selune]

Totally making an Evil cleric who constantly facepalms at mook fuckups.

[SilverRain]

I believe we needed a tank character for the heroes.

Apart from the Overlord, we so far have 2 characters on the evil side and 2 on the heroes side.

@Lady Selune Yay!

[Dawnscroll]

You know, like, somedays, you see something... and you know that you MUST have it, even though you've never seen or heard of it before?

This. I need this in my life.

I've had the bloody list memorized for years. Is the spot of Overlord ABSOLUTELY taken? If it is could I be the "dragon" trope character?

@Dawnscroll

Considering the GM is the overlord, you'll have to be dragon.

Also, DOOMLORD THE VOICE OF CHAOS has been given to the GM for approval.

[Andreyich]

The heroes are hopelessly outnumbered, let us hope that at least RNGesus or some other lads intervene on our part or else we're screwed.

[SilverRain]

The heroes would probably need some sort of mascot too. Kidnap Pick an animal.

[Andreyich]

Okay

I nominate this lovable creature, what do you think @Kalleth

[Infamous Empath]

@Kiwiwiwi@ActRaiserTheReturned@Lady Selune
Since pings don't seem to work if done in the OP.

@Andreyich

they dont?

@Andreyich to be fair, as you can see in the script, the heroes are always outnumbered. its their dogged perseverance and tenacity that makes for a good story (also their violent execution)

[Andreyich]

<Snipped quote by Andreyich>

they dont?

@Infamous Empath

They might but my experience is otherwise since I've tagged people in OP's and they didn't get a pinged and the same thing has happened here, those lads that I pinged didn't show up until I pinged 'em.

@Andreyich to be fair, as you can see in the script, the heroes are always outnumbered. its their dogged perseverance and tenacity that makes for a good story (also their violence execution)

@Infamous Empath

Yes but without chekhov's gun and plot armour like in a good old universe, not to mention a BBEG with such a great list to prepare him for whatever we may come up with our chances are going down lol.

But if we are to lose, we will do it in a blaze of glory!

[SilverRain]

@Andreyich

Only to regenerate at the last save point...

Don't worry. We'll camp.

[Infamous Empath]

to be fair, youre probably going to lose because unlike most super-villains, this one has actually taken care to remove threats and weaknesses from himself and his empire. but im interested to see if the heroes can take him down even with the List. also you have the list too. so you kinda know what to expect.

[Infamous Empath]

and if your character dies, you can always make another one.

Stephan died in the script, only to be replaced by Bridget Resistance. And then Stephan returned XD

[Lady Selune]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[Andreyich]

Yes I suppose we do have a slight buff because we don't make the errors heroes usually do to add 10 or 20 minutes to the story.

I think the biggest problem we will face is that the average minion won't be storm-trooper level shitty in a fight so our troubles will increase ten-fold even in small interactions i.e. bypassing patrols.

[Infamous Empath]

yes, but you will know this in advance. and i will have Co-GMs to keep any suspected metagaming in-check (metagaming by me, not yall). For example, if you see three guards walking down the road, and three heroes jump them, and everyone including myself already know that those are the only three soldiers on patrol on that road, if i suddenly have a hundred soldiers jump out of the forest, you can call bullshit.

[Andreyich]

Well I suppose the time for talk is over, let's go to the story!

[Dawnscroll]

Name: Kereontyrth, Lord of the Black
Nickname: "Kereon, I need a loan."
Alias:
Title: Evil Overlord's Minister of Finance, CFO of the Gi First National Bank, Unofficial Third Koch Brother
CB Handle: KGoldLLC
Slurs your frenemies call you: "Penny Pinching Bastard!" "Fookin' Big Gecko!" "Madoff did it first!"
Pet name from your SO, if you're fortunate enough to have one because I haven't kidnapped them yet:

Species: Dragon
Race/ethnicity: Black (scale colored)
Gender: Male
Alignment: Evil by way of Wallstreet
Occupation: Accountant and Auditor

Smart Bio:
Many dragons grow to seize dwarven strongholds so they can bask on their ill gotten gain, lounging on gold all day and sleeping. These are the lazy dragons. The Welfare dragons. And when an adventuring party comes along to slay them and claim their treasure, they deserve EVERYTHING they get.

Other dragons work three jobs so they can pay for college, graduate with a doctorate in Business, and proceed to enter a high-intensity workplace. Eventually, after working many high-profile accounts for various Kingdoms around the world, these dragons can rise in prominence to serve as the drivers, architects, and harbingers of various economies.

Kereon, in particular, is responsible for the new 'paper currency' that has replaced the gold standard for the Isle of Gi. In exchange for people turning in all gold and silver currencies, they are given paper "bills" of equivalent value to exchange for goods and services. This has proven to be far easier for storage, counting, and transference, ushering in an age of economic growth for Gi.

...it also doesn't hurt that the exchanged gold is added to the Dragon's horde for him to sleep on.

Powers: Colossal Size, Razor Sharp Talons, Fiery Breath, and an intimate knowledge of Macro and Micro Economics.

Weapons/other items carried: A Red Tape Dispenser

Appearance:

Other: Posses a pair of normal-sized pinchnez glasses that he will affix to his snout. They do not even remotely fit him, nor are they anywhere near his eyes. The Legion of Terror are, quite frankly, terrified to point this out to him.

[Andreyich]

If we weren't fucked before we are now.

[Dawnscroll]

@Andreyich What's the part that you're really dreading?

The colossal dragon aspect?

Or the bureaucracy part?

"You'll need to submit this form to Human Resources, in triplicate, to the Human Resources Department if you'd like to speak with the Overlord's secretary about a meeting with him. Please provide all the required state issued identification when you submit the form. You can expect a response back in 5-6 weeks."

[Infamous Empath]

@Dawnscroll@Andreyich

Dawn, you get it. I actually laughed out loud at that. Approved!

So tomorrow I will make the first IC post. If you heroes want to go out and find another RPer or two to play a hero you can. I'm actually going to ask a couple of my fellows as well.
