[OOC] Darkness Within (A Dark themed rp)

[my Lalia]

Is this a roleplay were the standard rules of roleplaying apply? (No controlling other's characters unless it's an npc, even then the player must be within reasonable limit.)

@71342

Yes

[Keplo]

I've been lurking... This looks so great. Is it okay if I use a monster/creature from Hellboy? Specifically, the flesh-eating tooth fairy.

[my Lalia]

@Keplo

haha yeah I saw you lurking there. Which monster were you thinking of?

[Keplo]

Oops, sorry. I edited my post before you saw it. But this cute little guy. Flesh-eating tooth fairy.

@Keplo

Oh that thing is scary! I don't see why your character can't change into that thing

[Keplo]

Could I run another idea by you about the fairies? (I just thought of it while watching "the fairy scene" on YouTube as a refresher.)

What if my character's body acted more like a hive instead of physically becoming the little monster? Like he coughs it up? And it starts as only one fairy, but the more and more humanity my character loses, the more fairies he's able to regurgitate? The fairies would kind of act on their own, not under a lot of outside influence like they attack foe and ally alike: swarm style. Also, my character's body would be absolutely useless (unconscious or whatever) as long as there was a fairy left loose or alive outside of "the hive." The ultimate risk would be the collective of fairies growing too big and no longer wanting to return to my character's body.

Does that make sense? If it's too weird or too much, I'll drop it.

@Keplo

That idea's odd, but I certainly like it

[Keplo]

Why, thank you. I mean, I have no problem with transforming into one, but the swarm thing seems like a lot of unnecessary battle chaos that I feel is sometimes lacking in group RP fight scenarios. You know what I mean? I think a character should be just as harmful as they as helpful to some aspect.

Here's mine so far, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to change or fix! :D

My Hider

Treant

Generic Information

Name: Goram Dorr
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Height: 6'2"
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Psych Profile

Traits

• Gentle - A man of gentle heart, Goram always shows does his best to show compassion to those around him, whether they are deserving of it or not.
• Cool Headed - Goram has always been a calm man, unable to be provoked easily. When he does become angry, however...
• Patient - Tying in with his inability to be angered, Goram is one of the most patient individuals in existence.
• Treant Strength - Goram is incredibly sturdy and strong, capable of lifting and breaking apart large objects with ease.

Flaws

• Slow - Though nobody would question his intelligence, Goram can sometimes take longer to come to certain conclusions than others.
• Unable to Identify Danger - Due to his gentle nature, Goram will rarely see a situation as dire or inherently dangerous towards himself and/or others.
• Afraid of Machines - Living near machines his entire childhood, Goram developed an inherent fear of machinery and it's workings.
• Afraid of Fire - Owing to his transformation into a monster, he has developed an inbuilt fear of fire. Wood burns, after all.

Backstory: The son of a wealthy and established blacksmith of the noble class, Goram was born into the life of metal working and the building of machine components. However, as a young boy Goram was always more fascinated with the outside world. Unfortunately, due to inheriting his father's "smithy" build, namely the tall height and expansive muscular torso, Goram was forced to work the forge, helping to build the very machines he could not stand. After his father passed away due to a smithing accident, Goram begrudgingly inherited his titles and workshop, unable to take the freedom he so desired.

Character Motivation: Wishing only to be rid of his title as Master Blacksmith, Goram seeks to escape and find freedom. Going to the Lord Nixus' party was his chance to sell his workshop and be free of smithing, but that didn't go to plan.

Opinion Of Others: (What does your character think of the other characters in the rp?)

Lalia!!!!!! :D

Seriously though, post a link to this on the Prized Bride OOC! There's not enough Obscene all up in here!

@NarcissisticPotato

<Snipped quote by NarcissisticPotato>

I might just send Obscene a pm :)

@my Lalia

~You called?~

Haha, sorry I was stalking around and came across this. It's way too early to read through everything right now, but I'm honoured that you guys asked for me ^_^ This looks damn cool. Damn cool.

@Keplo

You can have his whole body turn into them. In the same manner that Dracula sometimes turns into a bunch of bats instead of just one.

[Vahir]

I'm trying to figure out what monster I'd be; I figure my character can be extrapolated from that.

Here's a good wikipedia category for those who need to browse, like me:

@Keplo

This sounds cool, but I don't see where he could become addicted to the change? If anything its like throwing up, no one likes throwing up.@The Omnipotent Sphere idea seems interesting for the fairies, it has the potential to become addicting.

[Vahir]

I've been toying with the idea of a vampire, but with less focus on bloodsucking and more on mind control. My monster form could dominate mundane people's minds, but doing so would also reveal my nature to any bystanders.

[my Lalia]

@Vahir
Interesting, how effective will it be against other monster's? Also does your character need to take control of someone's mind in order "feed?

@my Lalia

Well, I figured that while my domination of mundanes was, if not permanent, then long-term, I could only have a hold on supernatural beings for a few minutes, if that. Plus, I have to have direct eye contact to hypnotize them.

As for feeding, it would certainly be easier if I mind controlled them, but it's not required.

[my Lalia]

@Vahir
Sorry I meant is the mind control a form of feeding. (Instead of blood your character needs to control someone’s mind)

@my Lalia

Even better. I want to get as far away from sparkly vampires cliche as possible.
