@Lauder@RedDusk@Hawlin

I shall look forward to all of your characters eagerly!~

@ERode
She looks absolutely good~

Just take care not to abuse that one-hit KO skill, and I won't have to publicly flog you~

@CrystalApple
Annnd here comes some flogging~

After some careful consideration and thinking...The problem I have with your character, is that a lot of his magic seems incredibly vague, and from what I can see is very...versatile. That's not how any of these characters should be starting out. At the moment, he seems like he can perform almost every type of magic.

which is a no-no. If I may be honest, you've used a lot of words to describe your characters abilities, but have done very little to actually describe what they actually do.

Ritual magic isn't exactly very well explained in what it is actually capable of and is incredibly vague in result, meaning and if I'm reading it right, there's a lot of room for him to...sort of be able to do everything, I think.

Arcane magic, while it seems fairly well balanced also has the potential to be incredibly powerful in a smart persons hands. Blasts of neutral-element magic while having no particular advantages, have no real disadvantages either. As such, if you want that I would say get rid of one of the second magics, or replace it with a more passive sort of ability.

Witchcraft, is incredibly vague, broad, and seems to include a lot of different forms of magic. Plus, it can't really be the 'most populous' as there are a lot of differing magic forms in this world. It seems to more or less fall under what one might call 'Hexes'. I realize I said go crazy and feel free to create your own form of magic, but also within reason, as long as it was properly balanced.

As it stands, I think 'Witchcraft' is just a bit too generalized at the moment for me to allow since apparently it includes 'Hexes, curses, spirit communication, divination'. Spirit communication would likely more fall under a necromancy sort of ability, and Divination is a fairly powerful ability in itself, and would likely be a stand alone magic ability with some sort of passive abilities such as some small precognition.

Apologies if this seemed a bit long-winded or overly critical. I would like to request you make your characters magic less broad in what they are capable of, and perhaps for now stick with two magics. An offensive based one and a passive magic feat, and properly explain what they can do

Once you make these appropriate changes, I will take a look at the CS again.

@Ariamis
I find your CS completely excellent. I can see him becoming quite the formidable character later.

As long as you don't go crazy with that mind dominate thing, you're good to go~

@CrystalApple
The magic is any sort of magic your character is well versed in. For example, Ophene's abilities with fire or healing. She could develop further skill with her fire abilities as well her healing magic. Any fire abilities would fall under that initial fire magic.

however do keep in mind that at this moment in time it would be rather unrealistic for your characters to master more than one or two sort of...shall we say 'elemental' abilities. I think Ariamis' character Nazrc'thath, is a good example to go by. A single 'element' - the Telekinesis - to start with, with two supporting magics that work well together.

EDIT:
I'm also going to say, try not to have abilities that are so similar to another character. If you do, at least try to make it different enough, please. If I get another character similar to any of the already accepted ones, I will likely ask you to come up with some different abilities.

Edea Odyssey

Oh my~

Just post your CS here then and I'll make sure your flogging and public humiliation is all ready ;D

On a side note.
We have a good few Rogues/Mages in the works.

Edea Odyssey

You can either PM me if you want, or post it here in the OOC for judgement. Either or works~
All the ones so far have talked to me Via PM.

Edea Odyssey

As long as he doesn't get to the realm of flaying someone alive with his mind (at least to start with) I don't see why not~

just keep it balanced.

Avatar/Pokemon (A Crossover Roleplay)

~Arrin Yei~

Well, that could have gone a lot better. For one, she lost her delicious mango. Secondly, it ended up on a girl below. Thirdly, she was now out of a mango. At first, she simply leaned back, crossing her legs and letting out a sigh of disappointment. Well, that happens sometimes. Some days, you find a delicious and ripe Mango growing from a tree, the next it gets smashed against the ground. She still had another at least! So she reached into her bag and...found nothing but disappointment.

Welp, time to go buy more then. She might as well apologize, too.

She stood, stretching her arms as a few onlookers started to spectate the mess. She didn't exactly hear what they said, though, but they sounded like pleasant people at least.

"You could be a bit more careful with your mangoes!"

Except that one. They sounded a bit upset. Maybe they were just disappointed they didn't get a juicy mango? Well, she'd love to share if she had any left to share, but that was her last one. Either way, she should probably get down. Grabbing her bag and throwing it over her shoulders, she stood at the edge of the roof and proceeded to climb off. There was probably a hundred safer ways to do it, but it was the most direct way Arrin saw so she didn't see a problem with it. It wasn't like she was going to break anything either.

...probably.

She was hanging off the edge of the building, gripping the edge of the roof when the guy with the scrafty walked out and proceeded to be the most unchill person she had ever met in her life. She was probably quite the sight as well, but if he noticed no one made a comment on it. At least, not yet.

"Oof~"

Her feet hit the ground with a fairly audible thud against the ground. Chim remained firmly on her shoulders for most of her endeavor, but as soon as she hit the ground he leaped onto the ground himself and made his way to the destroyed mango and soon began scooping up bits and eating them. Arrin simply stretched, observing the people around her for a moment before speaking.

"Wow, that guy needs to stop and smell the Fire Lily's. Maybe he's disappointed he didn't get a Mango dropped on him?" She chuckled, giving Suu a lazy, but friendly smile before turning to Satomi. "Sorry, that was my last one too."

Edea Odyssey

Yeeeah.

I just love my atmospheric horror games. Playing them at night just makes them 100% better.

You lose sleep, of course, but its totally worth it~ xD

Edea Odyssey

Tired.

I only got three hours of sleep last night xP

Insomnia is a bitch, sometimes. Although. Playing Horror games like SOMA probably doesn't help with that xP

Etrian Odyssey Inspired/Dungeon Crawler RP

And here is the promised OOC!~

I'm setting it to full at the moment, since we have a bit more interest than I anticipated!~

@Pyromania99@Hawlin@Ariamis@CrystalApple@RedDusk@Lauder@ERode@Superman

You were the first eight to express interest, and since that's the most I'm willing to GM at the moment, you guys get the eight spots.

@Zeion@Black Alice@JuliusCaesar
I'll put the three of you on a list, and let you know if there's an opening and stuff, or if someone doesn't make a CS.

Edea Odyssey

Any lore, info, and summaries of adventures will go here.

Ailon, the Baumn Empire and Caededril Repuplic

The continent of Ailon is as large as it is old. Over the years since history first began and mortals started living in cities, many kingdoms have come and gone on the large landmass. Most of those, carved with blood and steel or through shrewd diplomatic practices. Of course no matter how clever ones King or mighty one's army was, eventually most of those same fell to the same machinations that raised them. It was a seemingly never ending cycle, really, with one Kingdom lasting a hundred years or so before being conquered or taken by another. There were occasional peace between the entire continent, and such times were celebrated with open arms and revelry. Peace never lasted though. Eventually, war was always the only outcome.

Around three hundred years ago, something happened however. A powerhouse of a nation swept from the north, built on the conquering of several kings and other tribes and people under a single Emperor. They called themselves the Baumn Empire, named after the Emperor Baumn Alexius. Their armies were well trained. Disciplined, and above all - loyal.

Fearing this powerhouse, the southern Kingdoms and tribes banded together in the face of a greater threat, naming themselves the Caededril Alliance. It wasn't perfect, and it was a certainly shaky creation, with all of the lords and Kings. Still, with a little luck and strategic brilliance, they managed to fend off the Baumn Empire and send them back north.

After their defeat, they created a peace treaty. Eventually, with time the Caededril Alliance became the Caededril Republic, with their country focusing on trade, mercantilism, and the might of money. For around two hundred years or so, there was peace. Though the two countries never got along, and both of the countries continued to expand on other directions. Baumn continued to conquer its neighbors, while Caededril offered tribes and smaller kingdoms protection from Baumn...for the small price of becoming part of the Republic.

Of course, the two empires stepped on each others toes quite often, and with the two-hundred and fifty seventh year of the peace treaty, that peace finally came to an end. The two large countries clashed in a full scale war that was considered to be the most brutal war in all Ailon's history. It continued for almost forty three years with small lulls in the conflict throughout, but only recently ending with the death of Emperor Baumn Alexuis IV on the battlefield and the sacking Caededril's largest and richest city.

Currently, the two nations have another tentative peace, agreeing to cease all hostilities and turn their attentions to rebuilding and focusing on internal affairs.

At least that was the plan, until a military vessel from Baumn, sailing from their capitol to Caededril to discuss possible trade plans with the Republic. Lost at sea...they stumbled upon a continent that neither country had seen before. Immediately there was a scramble to claim the riches of this new continent. However, both sides feared conflicts that may erupt due to both of the nations history.

So, officially, the was declared a Neutral Zone, though that didn't stop the two empires from meddling in the affairs of the city, eager to get a leg up on the other.

Of course, that was around five years ago.

The city, now known as Oar's Rest, is a bustling city built on the ocean. It has many things anyone could ever possibly find or want here. Now that the city is more or less self sustaining with a few supplies from both empires, both kingdoms have started aggressively exploring the land, sending many parties inwards with only very few ever returning...they've even offered a reward for anyone who can bring back any information and perhaps...certain items that could give them an advantage.

Of course, that's all irrelevant to you, perhaps. Maybe you do not care about either of the countries at all. Maybe you're just here for adventure. To explore this undiscovered land. Perhaps you're here fleeing the justice of either empire, or maybe your a bounty hunter hunting said criminal. Really, everyone in Oar's Rest is here for their own reason.

~Known Locations~

Reef Grotto

Lore:
Named after its location by some Baumn Empire explorers. Its a cave close to Oars Rest. Not really much else to say here. Its where most people start their adventure since it offers protection from the humidity from the jungle. It's a rather easy path, if you're going inland. It'll protect you from the humidity of the forest but by no means is it safer. Creatures lurk in the dark, and if you venture too far off the marked and beaten path, you might just become lunch for some beastie. Some say they've seen Kobolds skittering about in here, though any solid proof has yet to be found as no one wants to venture deep enough into the caves to test that rumor.

The cave lets out some distance away. If you follow the path correctly and don't screw anything up and aren't attacked by some sort of creature, it should take you an hour or so to trek through it fully. At the end of it, there's an outpost not to far away. Usually, a guard is stationed at either entrance and end to help travelers along their way

Known Creatures:
Vampire Bats - mostly harmless, but incredibly annoying in large groups. Sleeps most of the day, and causes quite a bit of noise if woken. Will likely attract the attention of whatever else is in the area.

Piranha Hound - They make their homes in any place damp, cool, and that has an open source to the sea. Four legged, slimy eel dog things with gills and a large fin across their back. Able to swim surprisingly fast, and their legs carry them swiftly across the land with great agility. Teeth sharp enough to cause severe wounds. Light blue in color, with dark blue stripes and white eyes. For the most part, they rely on smell to find prey on land and a form of echolocation to find prey in the sea.

Vrhol Wildland

Lore:
Named after a merchant from Caededril who was the first to step foot into the forest, the lush vibrant life-filled jungle is a surprisingly popular attraction of Oars Rest. Guards patrol the outer perimeter of the forest to ensure no creature gets out, and warn people not to enter unless they're sufficiently prepared. An alternative start to a venture from Oars rest, for those who want it. It offers a quicker, though somewhat more dangerous path than Reef Grotto to the small outpost an hour or so away on foot.

Many wild animals can be found here. While a good number of them are harmless, there are some rather dangerous creatures that make their home here. None more so than the plant life. The Flora in some parts of the jungle are particularly aggressive, and have grown in size to what some people would call unnatural. The Fauna, can be just as deadly as well, and the Jungle Trolls that live in the area are especially deadly and hostile to those who trespass on their land.

Jungle Trolls - Tall, lithe, covered in green skin and dressed with simplistic cloth wraps and armor. Employ shamanistic magic and crude weaponry. Usually, you leave them alone and they'll leave you alone so long as you don't intrude upon their territory or pose any sort of challenge to them.
