Yeah, but do keep in my mind they were monster mobs, it's not like they were created by one specific race for the intention of war.

Also to build more on my point, if there are tanks and warships what will stop someone from making a gun powered by magic? After all tanks and warships would mean the technology and ability to make a single handheld gun powered by magic isn't impossible.

@Robo27

Realistically though what does this offer in terms of advantage? If you're able to throw fireballs naturally why would you ever need a device whose purpose is to throw fireballs. In fact, even if such things were created it'd be likely that they would be inferior to natural casting ability.

EDIT:

I do agree with your point about keeping tanks / airships out though. As fun as wargaming this is I don't actually want to see them implemented IC. I'm fine with defensive turrets though as long as they don't get too out of hand.

This is really an issue the GM should rule on though. What level of sophistication are we allowed to progress too?

I understand that and all but like this RP is based off a series that is centered around fantasy mmorpgs and like having military grade equipment, such as tanks and warships, literally defeats the purpose of there being the premise of melee and magic battles fought between players not military grade equipment versus military grade equipment.

@Robo27

This is true, though we did see automated defenses in the anime in the form of those automaton knights that defended the passage up through Yggdrasil.

I mean I hope a lot of this technology is partially joke, because a lot of it doesn't fit the whole SAO/ALO based premise xD

@Eklispe I am working on now, a post that is.

@Robo27

I mean, usually in Fantasy roleplays you're not supposed to have a tank but if your engineering / magical forging capabilities are high enough you can easily make one? Same goes for airships. Really, technological innovation becomes a whole lot easier when you can engineer the first half of it and say "the second half runs because magic".

Alright but Spriggans get the underground railroad.

The Legend of Zelda: Decedents of the Hero (OPEN)

<Snipped quote by Izaka Sazaka>

Oh you should see this other RP website I used to be on. It was even worse when it came to getting RPs started. The GMs would either force everyone to make these stupidly long and detailed character sheets, I mean they wanted three paragraphs for personality, five for history, six likes and dislikes, it was bad. Or they would make the characters themselves and let other people pick the one they liked most. Then after people spent sometimes a couple hours making their characters and got accepted, it was usually the GM who left and stopped the RP from getting started.

And now you all know why I left it.

@AirBender

I honestly don't see the point of Personality and History for a majority of the RPs I'm in. It's just an extraneous section that doesn't give any information that's immediately useful to the DM or other players as a majority of the time both of those sections end up getting changed mid-roleplay to suit the player's whims. Its kind of like Alignment in DnD where you're required to put it on there but unless people enforce it and/or make it a major plot point you can really just ignore it.

Unfortunately that's simply how things operate around here.

Urik of Carnheim

Name: Urik of Carnheim

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Class: Thief

Personality: Lazy and mischievous. As a thief Urik often finds himself in a myriad of situations directly related to his swindling nature. Because of this he's learned to spend most of his time relaxing to make up for the numerous high intensity run-for-your-life situations he seems to regularly find himself in.

History: Born an orphan in the city of Carnheim in Isa Lomita, Urik grew up on the streets learning how to talk tough and run quickly. With time his inability to provide for himself turned his nimble fingers to thievery, an art at which he currently excels.

While in the marketplace one day his dastardly attempts at economic gain fell upon a noble of some high status and although he was successful in lifting the man's coinpurse his escape attempt did not fare so well. Thrown into the town's prison he was left to rot for a week before his former mark returned to offer him a second chance.

Impressed with his thieving skills the noble offered Urik a chance to use his talents in a different manner, namely, in the service of the Isa Lomitanite government serving as a spy and general information gatherer. More than happy for a chance to escape his previously dull life aspirations Urik immediately accepted and was inducted as a Lomitanite spy.

Weapons: Iron Sword (Fluff = Two Iron Daggers)

Weapon Rank E

Skills:

Miscellaneous: Wears a headband given to him by a fellow thief before their untimely demise. Also wears a necklace depicting a manakete which is of minor religious significance to him. Worships the departed manaketes as minor deities.

Knight Artorias of Kimura

Name: Formerly Caim of Lindow, now Knight Artorias of Kimura

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Class: Wyvern Rider

Personality: Pragmatic but resolute. As a soldier, Artorias is well accustomed to making his opinion known regardless of how unpopular it might be. In battle he's quick and ruthless. Virtually uncaring about the lives of both soldier and civilian he seeks out his ultimate goal: victory.

History: Born the son of a simple finsherman Caim grew up on the stories of valorous Kimuran mercenaries and imposing knights. From a young age he set himself to the goal of leaving his village to pursue employment in Kimura's Wyvern Knight Corps. Unfortunately, Caim did not pass his initial entry tests and was turned away time and again due to his inability to bond with a wyvern partner.

Desperate for success, Caim set out for the base of Kimura's western mountain ranges, scaling them by hand until at last he reached the wyvern's nesting grounds. Using his training from the admittance tests he was able to approach and tame a wild wyvern (who he named Lowen). After some practice Caim returned to the Kimuran capital of Quinlan and was able to pass his entry examinations easily, earning himself a position in the Wyvern Knight Corps.

Since then he's spent many years working his way up through the ranks to attain the status of First Captain of his own unit of wyvern riders. In addition, due to his valorous deeds he was also granted knighthood and a new name to reflect this status.

This is when I started laughing and I didn't stop until the end of the post.

@Jasonhero

I think we really only need basic weapons and armor for now. We're only trying to outfit a militia with slightly above average gear. Since it's a volunteer force it's alright for them to bring their own items/weps/armor since that will likely be superior to whatever it is we're providing for them.

Basically we make the players pay the money/do the work so we don't have too!

EDIT:

On second though a good amount of high level magical weapons is probably the baseline of what we need, though those turrets sure would be nice.
