Bio
Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.
Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.
@Lugubrious know what's also awesome, imgur links actually work for me now I'm on Ps4 and I can copy and paste. I'm super happy I won't be posting half-finished stuff anymore. Other than last night ofc, I stayed up late to get the personality and background to my liking, used the wiki and added a bit to what it said. I can't wait to play, I resonate with Benedict's character like I did with Glenn. Plus I wanted to play a less selfish character.
Got it, I'll start in Dirtmouth having just wandered in. Perhaps fighting a bandit would attract enough attention that one of your characters sees me?
Sure, he could have come over the mountains or through the entrance canyon, perhaps from Brightvale. He could encounter a couple of thugs that wheedle him for some sort of entry tax. Barring that, you could always have him encounter and accidentally set off something like a Ruin Guard, which being made of metal would be so resistant to both cutting and weak crossbow bolts that Galeem's influence would lock him into a long and unpleasant fight, obliging one of the other PCs to give him a hand.
Which place has the most activity and would be the most likely place for The Adventurer to land?
The Dystopiascape has a lot of action but Gutsford in particular is pretty safe, so the team will need to roll out for things to get interesting. Meanwhile, Dirtmouth is in a rough-and-tumble area populated by miners and bandits, above a Chasm that leads deep into a vast subterranean land. Dirtmouth seems more likely. Keep in mind though, he'll have been in the area making a living for quite a while, or wandering for a while only to end up there. The World of Light didn't just start existing today.
He doesn't stop existing. I'm bad at wording. He just teleports VERY far away, as if Perinu could sense that he couldn't win. It's kind of up to you though.
Ah, alright. Maybe to the last place he rested, then.
I will message you tomorrow. In the mean time, please feel free to read the current page's posts, maybe farther if you feel like it, just to give you an idea where everyone is. As it happens, we just arrived at two fresh new locales, so it's a good time to join.
@Lugubrious Thank you for the info. I think I will be able to pump out my sheet before tomorrow. Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just excited. :D
(Didn't mean to pester, apologies if I annoyed you.)
No problem, and no rush. We both want a sheet for a character that will inspire you for a good long time. And don't worry about the questions, I'm here (and happy) to help. The only thing that annoys me is dashed hopes.
Fleshed out the power a bit and added one or two extra features! I'm fully done!
I'm afraid I'm still just a little in the dark. It says three consecutive uses will result in disappearance and a teleport. Does that mean he stops existing and then goes somewhere? Where might that be?
@Squashedquatch Apologies, but I thought you said you fixed the power? It still says 'Perinu's Grace (Allows for revival once per month, allows for escaping any scenarios against any enemies once HP hits 0. This works forever but can only bring him so'
Of my writing. Also, I guess it won't matter if it's invincible or not because of all the new weapons that come with being in a world full of new things, so scratch that. Either way, I have fixed what you asked on the sheet. May I move it now?
That's okay, no sample required. As long as it fits the Casual criteria then you're good. If the sheet's shipshape then you can post it to the Characters tab and I'll DM you in a bit to talk about an entry point.
@Lugubrious Alright, then maybe a different organisation?
EDIT: Oooh ooooh, it's a bit on the nose but what about Limsa's Grand Company the Maelstrom? Or is Limsa just governed by the Admiral herself, as it could be there is no Maelstrom. It's been awhile since that part of the rp, so do tell me if I'm wrong. Anyhow I should get to work on this sheet.
We've left the Deep Blue Seaside behind. For your information though, the Maelstrom does exist just for inner-city security in Limsa Lominscuttle Town, while the Azure Fleet is the main military force.
Alright! Can we compromise and say that only the Shortsword is fully unbreakable since it is the first weapon ever and has ancient magic? It can be the only one but it will never break no matter what. Maybe that magic must be awakened or something as well...
Also, would you like an example?
He could always just get a better weapon, but for that very reason, even an invincible shortsword would probably be replaced soon anyway due to low damage output. An example of what?
@Lugubrious question, I may be jumping the gun but as Benedict is a strategist and quite a man of invaluable intelligence. Might he already be working with the Seekers in some capacity? It seems a bit easier that way so he already is known at least by those in charge. What are your thoughts? And uh if you have no clue who I'm talking about I'll just worry about this after I post my sheet. heheh
Doing something like that would involve a retcon. Not many know of the Seekers existence no matter how smart they are, and no matter how smart someone might be, that isn't enough for an exemption from Galeem's influence.
