@xodus

Everything tastes like chicken.

So, the wait has ended. Bloodline CS is up!

Name of Bloodline: (e.g. Delacours, Peralta, Fangs, Nameless Cowards, etc.)

Region: (e.g. South America, Russia, China, America, Antartica, etc.) There can be 2 or more bloodlines in a particular region. If there are, you guys will be sharing “turf” so to speak.

Crest: pictures are preferred. I’m sure if you can’t find one, everyone will be more than happy to help does anyone know of a crest maker websiter?

Industrial Focus: (e.g. Banking, Publishing, Fashion, Media, etc.) each bloodline has 1 main focus.

History: 18th century till present. Weave in details like how your family choose their industrial focus, their rise to power, their views/relationship with AMRO, etc.

Key Members: (i.e. patriarch/matriarch, second in command, spouse of patriarch/matriarch, heirs) please put an * to indicate who will be attending the meeting. Each family is encouraged to bring at least the patriarch/matriarch, their spouse and heir, so that’s 3 people with x number of bodyguards. The max number of people in your entourage (including bodyguards) should be 10.

TL;DR (icky paragraph) party size should be 3-10. All parties must the patriarch/matriarch, their spouse (if they have one) and at least one heir.

Now to wait for Ryver's post.

Considering regions and primary industries are generally limited in how many bloodlines can be involved in each, what was everyone planning, so we avoid stepping on each other's toes? I was planning on making the Delacour family, the Bloodline I am working on creating, based in North America with French roots (or possibly just basing them in France), and owns a great deal of the textiles and fashion industries.

[shylarah]

My family is also in the United States, but came from Russia originally.

[yoshua171]

Japan is my plan.

[xodus]

My bloodline are Chinese and they own a large chunk of the banking industry.

[Rumplestiltskin]

My bloodline is established in the Caribbean, among its 28 island nations and 7,000 individual islands. The majority of employees and servants are indigenous, but meeting the recently appointed heir would not lead you to believe this. In any case, their main industrial focus is dual-characterized by the bony instrument of human physiology and anatomy ceaselessly played to the meaty score of medical virology and pharmaceutical research.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Rtron and I are calling dibs on South America. We are own the drug cartels there :D

[Rumplestiltskin]

A geo-political map that highlights chosen areas might be interesting to make.

-grabs the OOC thread-



LIVE, DAMMIT! LIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!!!!!

[Rina]

I`m going to be taking the Mediterranean area. Probably Italy but I'm still toying around with that idea.

[Rumplestiltskin]

Ooh! So what drew you to consider Italy, Kirra? =)

[Rina]

When I was making AJ I already had plans of giving him Mediterranean roots and with grandparents that are very religious it seemed to fit the best.

@Rumplestiltskin

Can confirm that boxers do this all the time.

:P

[Rumplestiltskin]

Right on. Boxers doing their doggy boxing thang~

@ Kirra: Ooh, I see. Coolness.

Gonna try to work on a Vile post. Xo asked me to get it going. -cracks fingers-

THE BATTLE PLAN

Stage 1: The Delay

GROUP EFFORTS
* We surround the Vile and keep circling it, forcing it into the Center.
* Teams A and B will stay opposite each other whilst Team C slips in between the Center evasively.
* Stay within sight of Julie; we move as one object orbiting her.
* Never stop moving, and never attack the Vile when its attention is on you.
* We avoid the Vile's area-of-effect attacks by not bunching up together.
* Ranged fighters will keep their distance and time their shots carefully.
* In between combined ranged assaults, melee fighters will make back-attacks on the Vile when it is distracted.
* Ilana will watch for friendly fire and collect it, but no promises.
* No goddamn grappling!
* If a team mate goes down and can't contribute, Team C will take them out of battle; the same for sudden bystanders.
* If you have a knack for illusion alchemy, don't target the environment: copy the person the Vile is focusing currently focusing on, and keep changing it.

---

TEAM A
Alistair: Protect Omari and AJ. Use Threads of Fate to guide Team A and Team B's shots into the Vile's legs or means of mobility, along with your own shots. Any explosive rounds, shoot at Ilana.

Omari: Maintain a barrier to protect Julie. Time another barrier with AJ and Kiara's explosive attacks to contain the Vile briefly with the force so as to multiply damage. Use your plasma rifle to keep taking out the Vile's legs. In between those three tactics, shoot your plasma rounds at Ilana.

AJ: Use your grenade launcher in tandem with Omari's barrier alchemy and Kiara's attacks. If at any point you can't do this, launch your grenades into the sky at Ilana.

---

TEAM B
Vail: Protect Kiara and Maeve. Fire your plasma rifle at the Vile's legs, along with Omari. Time your shots as a one-two punch. If you use melee, follow Ethan's lead.

Kiara: Use your explosive weapon in tandem with AJ. Use your shadow alchemy to nudge the Vile's melee attacks askew. Otherwise, fire your explosive rounds at Ilana.

Maeve: Follow Ethan's lead and wait to attack.

TEAM C
* Ilana will be mostly doing three things: gathering sound, explosive, and splash energy into one giant orb in the sky (contained by air); assisting Ethan with diversionary tactics; combating the Vile's alchemy attacks.

* Ethan will be playing Matador with the Vile, to allow those in melee to dish out quick attacks; shooting at the Vile with ricochet attacks; ripping up the ground and making hardened packs of dirt and rocks for Stage 2. He will also do his best to deflect the Vile's attacks, but always act as if he's not going to. In other words:

Stage 2: Meteor-Cracker

* A very brief stage that requires Julie to tell us she's ready to launch her Exceed.
* We obey all points as of before.
* Ethan will make a large hole in the ground near Julie, into which Ilana will slam the Vile using the hodgepodge energy orb.
* Everyone, except Omari, will use earth alchemy to fill the hole as much as possible, smooshing the Vile with the orb.
* Omari will undo all his barriers and, as a final layer, mount a barrier that contains the Vile in the hole with the earth mounds we're controlling.
* Ilana detonates the orb as we continue to push the earth into the Vile.

Stage 3: Exceed

* We run away from Julie like bats out of hell, our Meteor-Cracker heralding her Exceed as a preliminary attack.
* Wait for orders.

Just as a reminder, all of this information has been ingrained into the participants' brains: even if you have questions (ask them in Skype or here), just don't ask them IC. There's no time.

I will have the Vile respond accordingly to everyone's posts in chronological order, but to help make sure this is all fun and good, let others have a chance. If mini collabs are how you want to do that, throw 'em at me. ^^; But I'm still sticking with a post by post, as Xo wanted.

Good luck! Hopefully nobody here will get too vilelated...
