The king is dead, long live the king! [4/6]

Sorry about my inactivity. My RL got in the way, and then my computer started freaking out after Windows 10 got downloaded (when I really didn't want it). Been a few days of me trying to fix it up. Webpages have taken forever to load after it as well. For now, I recommend going without me.

Surviving the Struggle

@Genkai During the cave in she ended up with claustrophobia. Standing in the mouth of a cave wouldn't bother her, but going further into a cave would be a severe problem for her (I'll edit my post to reflect that). She became more fond of the skies because they were freeing, instead of constricting like being underground.

If she's locked up in a small room, she'll more than likely hyperventilate. Going underground again... Probably not happening for a long time, if ever.

I have claustrophobia IRL, so I thought having her with the fear as well might be an interesting take (especially since she's a dwarf).

Surviving the Struggle

Hopefully this will be okay. It may seem as if she's just here to kill things, but I want her to grow into somebody who will get past her quest for revenge and gain a new dream throughout the RP.

Dysmoira “Dys” Bazgard

Age:

28

Race:

Dwarf

Class:

Warrior

Personality:

+Protective
+Loyal
+Witty

-Hotheaded
-Judgmental

Fears:

Tight or enclosed spaces (claustrophobia, gained through a traumatic event in her life), and losing her Pokemon.

Dreams:

She wishes to rid the world of Darkspawn so that she may avenge her brother and Clan.

History:

The noble lineage of the Bazgard Clan has rung throughout the history of Orzammar. They were once a glorious house, full of heroes, and tales could have been sung of their forays to battle. However, with each Blight they lost many of their number, and finally their house sunk into decline. To accompany the losses to their finances and reputation, their ability to produce male heirs dwindled to nothingness. Some blamed the taint of the Blight, claiming that the Bazgard Clan was cursed by the monsters that they fought.

For many moons her parents and the Clan prayed for a male heir, and finally their prayers were answered in twins. Dysmoira was born first, the older sister to the coveted male child, Thorin. She was raised as his protector from a young age, and spent years in rigorous training so she could fulfill that role. The Bazgard Clan began to regain it's reputation with each year that Thorin lived, and their prospects were beginning to look much brighter.

By their nineteenth birthday, Dysmoira had settled into her role beautifully. She was past the age of tantrums and blaming Thorin for her lot in life, and instead she devoted her life to his well-being. Thorin, however, was spoiled and sheltered, and hated his life of being cooped up in the Bazgard estate. In an act of rebellion, he decided he would go to the Deep Roads and prove his worth. Dysmoira was just moments too late to save her brother from his own foolishness, and she watched him get torn apart by Darkspawn before her very eyes.

When she tried to retrieve his body, the ceiling of the tunnel collapsed on her and Thorin's remains. She spent days trapped there, afraid that her last living moments would be with only the memory of Thorin's grisly demise and the knowledge that she had failed. When they were found, she wished that she had died in the cave in. Her family mourned for the loss of Thorin and shunned her from their Clan for allowing this to happen.

In despair, Dysmoira set out from the only home she had ever known and went to the surface, an entirely foreign place to her. She was shell-shocked at first, and the open skies above her frightened her. She often took shelter in the openings of caves or under trees, but over time she learned to love the skies. The flying Pokemon who soared freely gave her hope.

With renewed vigor, Dysmoira set out on a mission to find her own flying Pokemon. On her journey she took up menial tasks in exchange for information or food, and finally she found the Pokemon she had been looking for. A nest of Rufflet, and their mother, a large Braviary. She spent a little over a year there slowly attempting to earn the trust of the Pokemon, with many initial bruises and cuts to show for her attempts, but what sealed the deal was when Dysmoira helped fend off a pack of Ursaring who had become too territorial. With this deed she finally gained the trust of the Braviary, and was allowed to interact with the Rufflets.

In particular, one Rufflet stood out to her and they quickly became friends. He was the youngest of the group and somewhat of a runt, but he was also brave, if a bit foolhardy. She bequeathed her new companion with the name Thorin, in honor of her brother, and went on her quest to become a Warden so that she could avenge his death.

We've been trying yeah xD I don't think it's got that much interest/activity anymore though, so it's probably a sinking ship.

@6slyboy6 You should feel free to continue on your own since you decided to wander off. That's the benefit of not interacting with another player, is that you can do some solo stuff with the GM directly replying to your actions. Gives the GM and yourself something to do.

As for myself, I'm not too busy to reply, but I want to wait for @Ryuzaki. I'll probably give Ryu until Sunday before I go ahead and continue.

Dragon Age meets Pokemon (A high fantasy quest RP)

Yeah, I prefer somewhat darker roleplays. They can be exceptionally fun to play and I especially like that Pokemon are going to be in a darker setting as well. Are you going to allow Pokemon or player character deaths? I mostly ask as I love to have consequences for my (potentially stupid) actions, not that I want to go around killing other players or their Pokemon.

For a Pokemon, it's hard to decide. I see so many interesting possibilities. Would Pokemon be able to apply conditions, like sleep, paralyze, etc. onto their enemies?

Dragon Age meets Pokemon (A high fantasy quest RP)

You pretty much had me when you were describing your GM style in the notes, before you went into the setting and history. Now you really have me.

The king is dead, long live the king! [4/6]

I think @Ryuzaki has been busy lately. I don't mind waiting, so people should definitely continue ahead without us for the time being.

The Travellers

Outside of the Cave

@Everyone

Ambrosia's brows raised when Ved tried ordering all of them to get to safety. He had to know that it wouldn't work, but it was an honorable shot. “I'm not leaving you or Jay here alone, and I'm sure everyone else feels the same. You know us, we don't take orders well.” She glanced around the area, trying to figure out a good way of going about this. “I know that I said to not touch the webs, but what if we lured them out? We could deal with some of them in the open, while you go in for Jay?”

Almost as if in response to her question, from above them an odd clicking noise could be heard. Looking up, a horrifyingly large spider loomed in the trees twenty feet above them. It's radioactive green eyes seemed to glower with pure malice as it cocked it's head to the side, it's mandibles dripping glowing green venom. A large drop of venom headed for Ambrosia and she rolled quickly out of the way with little time to think. Where it landed, it eroded the ground with a vicious hissing noise, leaving a two foot deep hole. From the canopy, other spiders began to emerge.

“I wasn't expecting them to have acid venom. Great.”

In the Cave

@MellyNyan

The sounds of Jessica cutting away at the thick webs entangling her echoed faintly throughout the dark cave, the soft sound muffled by the webs encasing the walls and much of the earthen floor. As Jessica cut away the last of the webbing with the sharp rock, the webs around her began to vibrate. Out of the darkness, just mere feet away from her, glowing radioactive green eyes peered at her ominously.

As the creature moved towards her, the light from the mouth of the cave revealed it to be a baby mutant spider, perhaps only fractionally bigger than a soccer ball. It made curious clicking sounds with it's mandibles as it tilted it's head to the side, obviously examining Jessica. All around Jessica baby spiders of similar size began to emerge from the darkness, all clicking their mandibles.

Without any further warning, one of them began to skitter towards her legs, it's mandibles rearing out as it attempted to take a good chunk out of Jessica's leg.

The king is dead, long live the king! [4/6]

I kind of wonder why he decided to start that way...? I mean, it's interesting in it's own way, but everyone else was following the predetermined formula of arriving at the palace/castle. It seems as if to me that @Blackmist16 isn't really wanting to interact? Maybe I'm wrong?
