Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

@Diggerton It's not 'acting a different way'; it's coming from a certain culture and then... having absolutely none of those cultural values and generally being their opposite for no reason. Take a typical dwarf, and then making them a teetotaller hippy who shaves and doesn't care about his people. Or the Drizzt clones.

Or badly written foreigners in series, who act like natives with a funny accent.
I see no problem with a naga bard. They have arms after all, and with the right instrument they could be...

... a rattlesnake. : D
  • Name: Olivie Brasseur
  • Age: 24
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Half-Giant--question not the mechanics of that. The other half is high elf, so magic may have been involved.
  • Class: Wannabe Knight
  • Personality: Brave, honourable, good with animals... and extremely susceptible to insults. You'd think that a half-giant warrior would be more thick-skinned or at least a bit less kind, but instead of starting tavern brawls over some comment on her size (big or small), she tends to go mope in a corner.
    She really wants a pet.
  • Brief Backstory: Olivie grew up with both of her parents on a farm in Velt, which is definitely one of the strangest households you could imagine to exist, and both were retired mercenaries who taught her the basics but couldn't really do much more. Having grown up on stories of knights, fighting, and dragons, she decided exactly what she wanted to be: a brave hero serving the kingdom, or the church, or maybe even a princess.
    She realised, however, that knights are expected to supply their own equipment... so she's adventuring to raise funds and get enough of a reputation that she can actually achieve her goal, plus to find someone who can teach her all the other little skills.
  • Equipment: Olivie's equipment is rather simple, since she can't exactly get the full suit of armour she wants: protection for her legs and hands, since they're the easiest thing for people to reach, and a sword her mother used to use, which she should really use two-handed given that it's as long as she is tall...
  • Abilities: Even given what she is, Olivie is scarily strong, swinging around her sword with one hand. Unfortunately, this makes her actual... skills lackluster, since there's few people of the appropriate size to beat proper form into her head. Dangerously exposed attacks and occasionally outright jumping, with the saving grace being that very few people want to risk getting that close.
    Especially when someone just over ten feet tall has done a backflip to get away from them.

That's something that makes more sense with outcomes that can be anticipated. Magic hitting a wall that then reflects it perfectly straight into the chest of another character so that they can't avoid it... is not in any way something that could be anticipated.

Maybe in Tomb of Horrors, but you don't bother giving anything going into Tomb of Horrors a personality.
I'm on board with the 'skip to messengering' bit rather than awkwardly standing around trying to deal with the aftermath of sudden molestation xD
I should probably get working on a post now...


Meanwhile, I find your current signature choices... odd. :p
Reading the messenger group posts, I think you guys need to sort things out further, especially considering @Raineh Daze character intends to join you.

@Raineh DazeFor a moment I thought you meant Croat and I was confused what does it have to do with anything haha


No, no, I'm not from Croatia. I just can't resist appalling puns.
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Er... What does that statement even mean?


I got the 101st post.
I am a dalmatian.
