Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

Still looking for 2 more players

Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

I am looking for a couple of extra players for a Soul Eater RP that I've started up. So far we have 4 players including myself as the GM, but I would like to expand that to possibly 6. The RP itself will run a little different to regular RPs with an emphasis on your own personal adventure rather than an overarching linear story with me being the narrator. The idea to to achieve the same effect as the series with multiple stories that spiderweb into a larger world that we together can build.

Because of the structure of the RP you do have the opportunity to play a variety of different character styles, but they are now a little limited due to previous entries.

So if you think it may interest you, drop by and have a peek. I am fairly busy at the moment so some replies may be a bit slow but I'll do the best that I can.

Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

I was hoping to joint-contract with @Asgore but I haven't seen them around and their CS is still a WIP.

@Gowi

Sent her a Pm yesterday asking if she's still in or dropping out. I'll also be chasing up others in the mean time and trying to get a bit more publicity.

Sorry it's started off a bit light. Hopefully things will settle soon enough.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens (spoilers should be hidden)

Just saw it tonight and it's a bit late so I haven't really read much of the above posts yet, but will do given some time.

Possible Spoilers... By Possible I mean Definite

Overall it felt like a revised "A New Hope". This isn't a good nor bad thing, but it allows for a redesign of the original trilogy and makes me wonder where it is that they are going to take the next two movies. It somewhat comes back to that old saying of History repeating itself and how a river will always flow in the same direction, even if someone attempts to stop it.

So many elements did feel repeated. The beginning sequence of the droid having the hidden data and the villain making an appearance; the 'death star' and the mission to destroy it; the 'sacrifice'; and these are just just a few. The positive of this goes back to what I said before and that's how it's a new vision so the story can now go a different direction since this move played a well designed prequel for the events to come.

I also thought the characters were fairly well designed. Kylo Ren did surprise me a bit when he took off his mask to reveal that he was a normal person, and although it wasn't unexpected for him to be Han and Leah's son, it was a well designed plot point. He also seemed like a character in trouble. Someone that is evil because they don't understand the benefits to being good, but also sad at the direction their life is going. When compared to Anikin, Anikin was just a spoilt twat that became evil because he was a very naughty boy and deserved a spanking. Kylo Ren... I felt sorry for him, he seemed conflicted and used.

Rey and Finn made a brilliant lead. Finn, even in the trooper outfit, had emotion. You could see that he was afraid of what he saw and realised it wasn't right. You could understand that he wanted to do better. He wanted to change and was willing to rebel against the largest threat in the galaxy to achieve that dream of freedom. Rey on the other hand was a powerful character that was unsure about her abilities but soon came to realise how much she played in this adventure. Her fight at the end was brilliant with her overcoming her fears of the lightsabre and using it to protect her friend and to resist evil.

So yeah, overall I enjoyed it very much. It's late so this probably all sounds messed up, but the positives and negatives of this movie balance out in a way that leaves me satisfied and willing to brush off some of those co-incidental parts (Like R2 booting up at the exact right time).

Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

Anubis leaned her hip up against the table and placed one hand on the edge in order to hold her body steady, balancing in a way that looked as if she could fall any moment but to the keen eye they could see that her stance was rigid and sound. She watched as the first member came up to the desk and gazed through the paperwork. His name, Abel Ashira.

Abel was an unusual person when compared to the others in this small organisation. For starters he wasn't a Meister nor a demon weapon, and unlike Anubis he didn't have any special abilities, yet the pure strength of his soul was something that could be felt by those around him, along with his provocative nature and the torturous like vibe that expelled from his body. Anubis had learnt how to deal with him most of the time and generally avoided his perverted comments, focusing on only answering with the important details.

"Ooh, this Witch specialises in poisons," she heard him speak, noticing that he had gravitated to a contract that revolved around the idea of pain and suffering.

"I think you may like that one, Abel," she remarked, pulling the page from beneith his view to have a quick read. "Death was telling me about a poison based one in France, the City of Love." Turning her body round to face the man, she pulled out a stamp from the stationary drawer below the desk and thumped it in the bottom corner, giving it a bright red mark that showed the current date and who had received the contract. "Just sign in the red, as usual, and it's all yours," spinning the page around for confirmation from Abel.

Her attention was drawn away quickly from the sound of two young teenagers that was eager to seal their contract based on it's 'cool' factor. Anubis looked at Nadia and Arisia, seeing Arisia point to a page on the table. The job was a part of a two piece contract with another job. There was suspicion that the two incidents were connected somehow but without any further information it was difficult to tell if the source had happened to exaggerate the situation a bit.

"Are you sure you two can handle this?" Anubis' comments weren't directly aimed at Nadia, even though it may have come across that way, but more at the size and difficulty that this job would possibly present. She pulled the stamp over and hovered it above the page, pausing for a moment before speaking her mind. "I want you to let me know if anything becomes too much for you to handle." Her stamp landed with a thud and left a red splat that only required the two's signature.

Something about that contract felt off to Anubis. The number of dead that had been recorded and the silence that the people had just didn't feel quite right, but this was AID and if they didn't deal with these incidents thoroughly, then who else was going to do it?

Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

We only just started but I think there was a hiccup or two with waiting for people. Airvender also pointed out that it's only a week til Christmas and people are probably busy with final exams and work as well.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Altered Tundra had that one time where the GM left and the one who took over the reigns was a prick and never listened to the players, telling them he wanted it done a certain way.

Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

The two girls ran as hard as they could, leaping over stock and ducking around boxes while the interior rooms filled with a layer of smoke and heat from the fire they had set ablaze. The were quick, but in their haste it had reduced their overall stealth factor, making it possible for the drunken crew to suspect that someone else was perhaps on-board the ship. Friend, foe, human, non-human. They couldn't tell who it was but the fact that they quickly turned in the rough direction of where the two girls came from gave them some indication that they were not alone.

"Quickly!" One of them yelled as he pulled out some heavy blankets from a nearby living quarters. "Smother that fire!"

Alyon and Fraya bounded up the stairs and stopped at the top deck. The smoke from below was beginning to seep it's way up through the timber floorboards, radiating a heat that was producing droplets of sweat on the girl's foreheads. Alyon could see in the distance people starting to run towards the boat, possibly concerned about it's cargo and those that were occupying it at the time. It meant that the pathway through the docks was too dangerous and the only way of escape was to use the row boat that they had bought along with them.

Taking a quick dash as the flames began to lick through the floor below, Alyon ran to the side of the ship and leapt off it into the water below. She landed with a heavy splash and felt the weight of her body take hold. The clothes and gear that she had on took away her buoyancy, making it difficult to stay afloat. As she thrashed about she emerged from the water to take a gasp of air, reached out to grab the edge of the row boat. The ship laid there at the dock's edge, engulfed in a wall of flames, with Alyon now watching from the waters below.

Soul Eater: AID in the Witch Wars

@Spooky Tanuki I've just accepted another Autonomous Weapon, but will allow a second one a I understand how not everyone will be willing to play a dual character set.

I'm not 100% keen on the idea of a benevolent witch. On one hand it's not really in the Lore as them and Death are long term enemies, bit I realise in Soul Eater Not that Kim was a Witch/Meister. The problem would be that if the DWMA found out she was a witch, she'd basically be executed, and how would she get into the class as a lone person without a Demon Weapon partner, or something else.

Could you expand on the idea a little bit more and give me a rough idea of what you were thinking?
