[OOC] From Goblins to Gods

[Moonlit Sonata]

NOTE: WE ARE FULL. GUILD IS BUGGY AND NOT LETTING ME CHANGE THE STATUS, BUT WE ARE FULL.

Once, you were a human. Maybe you were a salaryman, or a kid on a skateboard, or a third-grade English teacher. Either way, you're dead now, and those memories of your time as a human are lost and forgotten to the swirl of reincarnation.

As quickly as your soul is placed into darkness and stripped clean, it is pulled back out. Light and sounds accelerate, and your eyes crack open for the first time, in a new body.

You're a Goblin.

Born in a small, remote tribe of Goblins in a forest, lacking any knowledge of your geography or of the nature of this world, you are thrust into the world. While only a newborn, the instinct and basic abilities of your kind are ingrained into you. How to communicate, how to hunt, what you must do to survive. This is your life, this is your mind. With time, sufficient experience and growth will open the option for you to evolve from a goblin to a different branch of monster, but this will depend on your own ability.

Just one thing sets this new batch of Goblin juveniles, your clan, apart from the rest. A single facet of their souls, a single "skill" retained from their past life that they do not even know they had. Perhaps an affinity for a rare kind of magic, perhaps a propensity to lead, perhaps the knowledge of a language they don't recall learning. Will this mistake in the cycle of reincarnation lend them the power to break past their limits, or will they simply fall like wild beasts to the onslaught of the world?

Welcome to the game, and do make it entertaining.

The rurus.

Rurus

No metagaming, no godmodding, auto-hitting, no controlling other people's characters, no doing things you shouldn't be able to do. This is all standard stuff.

Yes, you can kill another player's character without permission. That's a part of the freedom you have available to you. However, I as an impartial GM will preside over all such instances. Do not protest my verdicts because you're angry. If you legitimately feel that I am making a mistake, please argue your point rationally, and I will do the same.

No being a bully OOC. You can be a bully IC though. That's totally fine.

If you'll be taking a leave of absence, let me know so everyone doesn't wonder if you died. If you don't do this, tragic things might happen to your character while we're waiting for you to post, which would be really sad.

You are not Yamato Jesus. You are not always right.

And have a spooky character skeleton.

Character Sheet

Name: ...well? No last names though, because Goblin.

Gender: Male, Female, or Genderfluid Transabled Apocalyptic Disaster-kin.

Appearance: You're a green-skinned, four foot tall, ugly piece of work. As such, this section is optional, but if you want to mention some distinguishing factors, feel free. I won't demand a properly full description though. Also, I don't usually say this, but I'd rather you don't put an image, considering everything.

Personality: Describe how your character thinks, acts, and feels. Don't skimp on this, you pig.

Past Life History: This isn't that important, compared to how important it usually is. Considering you won't remember any of this, "growth" that occurred during your past life won't be present, hence why you're a blank slate. If you had a traumatic experience and became afraid of the dark, you won't have that trauma here. If you were born afraid of the dark, though, then you will. As such, the only real reason this section exists is for flavor, and to justify your Skill.

Skill: The rare ability you were born with, as a result of your past life. Ability as in singular; you only get one. If you were an English teacher, maybe you innately know the human language somehow, despite not knowing what a human is. If you were a creepy occultist, maybe you have a rare magic affinity. Just be reasonable, and don't pick anything that makes you broken from the start.

Other: Huh, I wonder what should go here.

The int. check's here, if you wanna check it out.

[Hael]

Yay! OOC!

My character for this will be up tomorrow.

[OoTrillionoO]

Too many ideas are running through my head for a character! I'm getting pumped!

@OoTrillionoO

Really? I have the exact opposite problem: one persistent idea that I don't like but won't go away. It's like a fly that keeps buzzing around you while you're trying to eat :/

[Jangel13]

Name: Shiba

Gender: Male

Appearance: the Usual appearance of a Goblin as one would expect however Shiba has scars along his arms and legs

Personality: Shiba is a smart mouthed rebel, he doesn't care about anyone other then himself. Shiba doesn't give in to anyone else's ideas or rules and will instead follow his own. Shiba loves to run wild and loves the idea of killing something and seeing how it tastes. Shiba will take whatever opportunities are presented to him since he is known to be an opportunist.
Shiba isn't inherently a bad person he just doesn't care about others who he doesn't know. Shiba can be nice to others but he chooses not to and he will work hard until he can be free and be strong all at once so that nobody will tie him down to any rules but his own.

Past Life History: Shiba was once an Olympic runner who came in second in the summer Olympics'

Skill: The Rare ability that Angelo has is great agility. This agility gives him better speed and flexibility compared to his Kin.

Other: N/A

(let me know if I need to change anything)

[Moonlit Sonata]

@Jangel13

Alright, I'll be as blunt as possible: A cursory look at your posting history and your signature reveals (in about ten seconds) that you app this same character everywhere. As such, you obviously like this character and have an attachment to it as a concept. Consequently, I'll have to ask that, for this RP, you come up with something new.

Also, please do not leave the description tagline in your CS (IE, what's in the "Other" section).

I will also have to say that the Skill is blatantly broken. As I stated above, these abilities should not be broken from the beginning. The ability to speak a language, the affinity to practice a rare magic but still starting off with no experience, and so on are all acceptable. The ability to run faster than "anything else in the world"? Not happening. It shouldn't be an ability that makes you a supreme existence among Goblins; it should be something that gives you the potential to be something special.

There are also mechanical issues from an English standpoint, but I won't be super harsh on those, compared to how I am usually.

[Jangel13]

fair enough but I want to point out that I use two different concepts for characters this being my favorite. ill work on putting up a different concept.

As for the skill what I was going for was something along the lines of agility the speed was just my first thought on the subject since I didn't know how I would go about explaining his dexterity and flexibility.

[Jangel13]

changed, I made him selfish and self serving

[Jangel13]

@Moonlit Sonata

Anything else I should change :)

[I Own Cows]

This looks really cool. I'll put a character sheet up when I wake up, too sleepy right now.

Also,@Hael, you and I have the same eggs. Aren't we just a couple of badasses?

[Meridian]

Name: Tamarin

Gender: Genderfluid Transabled Apocalyptic Disaster-Kin, but Male for all official purposes.

Appearance Distinguishing feature- a shock of red hair on his head. Has the consistency of troll doll hair.

Personality: Tamarin is curious to his own detriment. He has to investigate absolutely anything that crosses his path, and asks a question for virtually every breath he takes. He's adventurous, and loves anything unfamiliar to him. This constant state of wonder means he never considers other things, like 'Am I being rude?' or 'should I not have pelted that hut with fruit?'. He does things just to see what will happen and has no time to consider the feelings of others. He's very fidgety and hyper, and learns new skills quickly. At his core, he's neither well meaning nor ill meaning, he just wants to know more.

Past Life History: Tamarin was in his last year of middle school, and sang every year for the talent and variety shows. He always placed first or second.

Skill: An affinity for singing. He's very good right now, and is only going to get better from here. This doesn't translate to his regular goblin voice, which is rather high and unpleasant to the ears, but he can sing.

Other: N/A

Here's my sheet, hope it's okay. :D Although I'm not too sure about my skill section- I don't know exactly the nature required.

@I Own Cows

Can't crack these eggs!
Actually, on second thought, please crack them.

I'm new to the dragon thing. If I understand correctly, the swirly magic eggs are new.

[ImpLaughs]

Name: Voxx

Gender: Male

Appearance: Aside from being 4'1'', green skinned, and having large pointy ears, Voxx has a small earring in his right ear, a rather large nose, a constant smirk upon his face, and is ridiculously bald atop his head. His facial hair grows only to what those would call a five-o'clock-shadow-all-day.

Personality: Voxx is charismatic, curious, stealthy, cunning, and always scheming. He wants to acquire fame and fortune, and will do anything to do so. He is also a dirty fighter as he'd rather slit your throat whilst you're asleep than fight fair. However, he is loyal to a fault to his fellow goblins and will do most anything to help and ensure their survival.

Past Life History: In his past life, Voxx was training to be a chef. He wasn't particularly special or good but he was able to get a job at a five-star restaurant. The place was eventually robbed and he was shot during the robbery.

Skill: Voxx has the innate ability to cook most anything, make it taste alright (subjective), without the need for a recipe, and can do so with strange ingredients.

Other: Hello. xD

[OoTrillionoO]

Name: Gunka

Gender: Male

Appearance: Four foot five and extremely pudgy, he bares a face that appears to be scrunched inwards, with a flattened nose, beady eyes, and an entirely bald head. If it wasn't for his green skin, somebody might mistake him for a pig standing on its hind-legs. The only facial hair he possesses is a small, pointed goatee that points out just under his chin.

Personality: Gunka is a glutton, but when he's not hungry he's happy. Despite his attitude being easily swayed, his opinions can be quite different, and as such he can appear stubborn, and unless you can bring proof that he's wrong, it's unlikely you'll be able to convince him he's ever wrong of something. Gunka wants to live to fulfill his passion of creating something with compare. What that is... he doesn't know, but he wants to make it, and he'll do whatever he can to survive simply so he can live out his goal.

Past Life History: As a child, he'd been born with a love for building, playing with blocks and ignoring everything else, and as he continued to grow he moved into a variety of fields, working with his uncle, a modern age blacksmith until he passed highschool where he then went into architecture in college whilst working in the construction industry. He'd always had the ability and love for such crafts.

Skill: An affinity for the use of tools, crafting, and construction.

I was thinking of doing a crafting character

Ah, well, we don't need two of those running around, so I'll go back to brainstorming-mode

[OoTrillionoO]

So many people viewing the page O.O

Haha, sorry about that. If you have no other ideas I could change my character.

@OoTrillionoO

I wouldn't ask you to change your dude for me. I'll think of a new one. The only reason it's taking me so long so far is distractions with some other RPs, one of which I'm trying to stop from dying :(

Then there's that one character idea that won't go away again...it just lurks around my brain...NO, BRAIN, I WILL NOT MAKE A MAGE!

[Jangel13]

To you guys what do you think of my CS I really want in on this rp

[Exodus]

@Jangel13

My advice to you would be to make something completely new. I recommend that for every RP, really. :)

My own submission coming soon.

[Jangel13]

well I changed the personality but I wanted to make a goblin that was fast and quick that I want to stay the personality and the past history I can change
