Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

Also, if you think the idea of someone running a bank in an MMO sounds ridiculous, you seriously need to get on EVE Online's level:

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

<Snipped quote by Turboshitter>

Ehh, now that just sounds like work.

Also, jus to express my opinion here, I don't quite like the angle of us being a guild of douchebag, edgy badasses. The "information broker" idea is a good one, as no official guides or lore exist for YGGDRASIL, but the bank idea I think is just kind of ridiculous. I also rather dislike the name for the guildhall, it feels like something that wasn't proofread, and not in the funny way that you're aiming for.

Not trying to shit all over everything, just expressing my feelings regarding what you've proposed. I can help work on it later tonight.

@Dead Cruiser

Eh, was that how it came about? Sorry, that's not what I intended. The idea was less "edgy badasses" and more "ughhh, fuck those guys". See, the guild itself is run like a business, which means they display the average standards and practices expected of such (i.e. soulless, money-sucking corporate scumbags). Like you said, they specialize primarily in buying and selling information as well as bartering for items using gold. While looking out for you and your own isn't necessarily evil in the way a PK guild like Ainz Ooal Gown was, it does give you a reputation as scammers and soulless sellout fucks, especially after you've gone behind numerous other guild's backs and sold their competition information or rare items that turned the tide of battle for them against their rivals. That and while the idea of compiling guides for newbies and posting them online sounds like a righteous enterprise on paper, it also means the guild has a long history of scamming which it probably isn't too proud of.

The guild isn't a bunch of uber-feared, edgy PvPers who dominate the game with their leet skillz or whatever (like certain other shows), they're just opportunistic virtual entrepreneurs. You're thinking of assassin's guilds and mercenary groups like the Dark Brotherhood or "generic MMO anime badass guild #1547" when you should be thinking more like the mafia or the Thieve's Guild. The MMO equivalent of white collar criminals.

While it's true the fort is well-defended, I was lapsing into a bit of dramatic prose there just so I describe the place in a very stereotypical swords and sorcery kinda way (also, if you can figure out why I decided to call it that and what the name is a joking reference to, you get a cookie).

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

Should have a CS up someyime tonight. But I'll reiterate my question from earlier: can we have NPCs that have been created by our player characters? Perhaps a mini CS for these characters?

@Dead Cruiser

Yes but I expect a full CS for them, because reasons :P

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

<Snipped quote by Turboshitter>

lolol xD That's some totally not convincing me to go with the fetus maid idea there xD
But me is hev a question! When will more be know about hte layout of hte guild? cause I need to decide on where to put her residence.

hmm on another note, I do wonder if my npc will be aware of her creator's death. I mean the npcs in overlord seemed to have been aware of pretty much everything that was going on in the guild.

@rivaan

That'll hopefully be revealed today once I finish the first batch of GMPCs and move on to writing about the guild hall. Right now though, I can give you the short version:

Carved into the side of a volcano that juts out of the bay like a great blaspheme to the gods, the dread fort Deadship (they were going to call it "Dreadship" and drop the "dread" part from the subtitle, but someone fucked up entering the "r") sits on top of what is both an active, oozing volcano and the largest concentration of precious metals and minerals in Nidavellir, home of the dwarves. This iconoclast in the middle of the sea is home to none other than [INSERT GUILD NAME HERE], coldhearted and soulless monsters wearing the guise of men who care for nothing but profit. Monopolizing one of the server's largest deposits of natural resources and using it to establish some sort of bedeviled bank, they use it as their base of operations to barter for items and information, selling what they earn and what they know to the highest bidders. But do not be fooled by their facade of salarymen and bankers. The fort is armed beyond your wildest dreams, with a sentinel for every penny in their pocket and more traps and curses than a mummy's tomb. So beware... beware [INSERT GUILD NAME HERE] of the dread fort Deadship!

And there you have it :P

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

@Turboshitter okey dokey... angel it will be not! lol I'm starting to talk like yoda here. As for not adding picture.. that's a little bit of a tricky thing. I'm currently running on incredibly slow internet in the workdays. Like so slow it takes minutes to load a picture -__-'Tomorrow I'm going home and will add picture when I get home :3 as for the angel part hmmmm... I suppose I can answer with she is keepign her clearly not very human looking appearance under wraps with magic or something like most NPCs are in Overlord, but I suppose I can change it to a human. It's just that I kind of cringe every time I see how they made the angels in overlord xD It's so bugging me that I mentally delete that memory xD

@rivaan

Heh. Yeah it's a weird contrast to demons, though I fully support the idea of a floating fetus using jedi mind tricks to look like a maid or something like that xD

*Turbo is totally not trying to create his own Pleiades, no sir*

Also, anyone have ideas for the name of the guild? I did provide a brief description of who they are and what they do, but I understand if anyone wants to wait for further info. Once we have enough names, I'll put them up for a poll!

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

And he is the rough CS!!! I managed to somehow pull it off! Needs more edits and refining though :3 Still that's the main idea. @Turboshitter What do you think?

Silva

Name(s): Silva Ciel Fae

Gender: Female

Height: 1,75 m

Race: Angel

Title: Mistress of Illusions

Job:

• Sorcerer
• Illusionist
• Illusion master
• Fata Morgana(The most powerful illusion user class)
• others

Residence:

• For all player characters this should be the guild base. For NPCs be specific about which area.

Alignment: Neutral

Sense of Justice: 100

Racial level:

• Angel: 15lv.

Job level: 85

Stats:

• HP:65
• MP:95
• PHY. ATK:55
• PHY. DEF:60
• AGILITY:70
• MAG. ATK:80
• MAG. DEF:90
• RESIST:75
• SPECIAL:70

Spells:

• Generally useful spells: Gate spells, all magic item appraisal, conjure water, conjure food, [Message], Search, Area scan, Magic observation block, teleportation block.
• Weak combat magic: Elemental bolts, small magic shield and etc...
• Hide self(illusion magic that renders the user invisible)
• Human self(makes the user appear human in the eyes of others)
• Shadow field(causes an area to be consumed by darkness)
• Dominion of darkness(covers an area with illusion of darkness that clouds senses and masks presences)
• Mask presence(hides the presence of the user or a target)
• Illusion forge: demonic guard(creates what appears to be a big hulking demonic servant to protect the caster. Has no attack, but can take quite a few blows before the illusion really vanishes)
• Wall of damnation( conjures an illusion of a huge 'living' wall, so grotesque and terrifying that it instills fear into almost anything that sees it.)
• Wall of eternity(Illusion magic of highest degree, this wall stands in it's place altering the minds and presence of everyone within this illusion. This who are caught in it cannot move, advance or attack forwards for everything they see is a huge wall. Their minds refuse to act against it.
• Wide area illusion(allows the user to creates giant illusions, be it to hide something like a castle or to make it appear like a castle exists somewhere.)
• Mind devouring beast(a single target illusion attack that causes the target to see a grotesque beast approaching them. When this illusion attacks it's target, the target takes damage as if he was struck by actual physical object. This illusion is so strong it causes the body to react as if it was real. Weaker the victim, stronger the damage and the speed before the damage is dealt.)
• Reality burst(Illusion magic that sends everyone caught within it into a trance like state, caught into a maddening spiral of destruction withing their minds while their bodies stand still)
• Legions of Albion(Creates an illusionary army that can do actual harm to those struck by it. Still those are illusions so soldiers are rather fragile and each illusion of a soldier vanishes after a hit or two)
• Reality of carnage(The strongest spell in her possession. An area illusion so strong that it temporary corrodes reality. While the illusion is in effect nightmarish beasts appear, devouring everything in their paths, damage dealt by the beasts is completely real)
• There are over 6000 spells in YGGDRASIL, and even pure warriors are expected to know some ([Message] and teleportation/gate spells for example). Which ones do you have? Level 100 magic casters can learn up to 300, double that with certain classes or skills. You don’t have to list them all, but I expect at least a dozen or a couple dozen. Stretch your creative muscles! (or borrow from the canon if you have to :P)

Skills:

• The realm of warriors, and their magic equivalent. Similar to the Martial Arts of the New World but not quite, Skills are basically spells or techniques that warriors can use a limited number of times per day. Again, not many of these have been mentioned in canon, so you're free to use your imaginations.

Equipment:

• Crown of Illusions – divine item.(lowers the mana cost for every illusion magic)
• Robes of the Fae – divine item.(magical robes that warp the user's status, making it impossible to read unless special measures are taken first)
• Veil of Avalon – divine item.( a small soft piece of cloth that appears to be weaved by strands of moonlight. Once per month it can be used to cast a barrier spell equal to tier 10 magic)
• Staff of serenity – divine item.

(a magical staff that allows the user to cast serenity spell across his allies, curing metal status afflictions)

Bio: >list>
Before coming to the New World, Silva was just a simple NPC.

Personality: Silva is a rather eccentric for an angel. For a member of beings who are supposed to be the god's messengers, kind and caring, she is rather indifferent about those outside the guild. She still has some degree of a moral compass, but if it's for the guild, she will deal with anyone she must. She will not really help a stranger in need out of the blue without reason, but at the same time she will not act with prejudice towards anyone.
Still for those who are part of the guild, she is caring and friendly. One of her most favorite thing is to poke fun of people and she often does that to anyone she can. It's a trait she gotten from her creator and a thing she loves about herself. Strangely enough Silva does have hobbies, she enjoys napping and eating and writing poetry(despite how bad she is at it). She seems to dislike human kings and emperors, a thing that was programmed by her creator.

Other: Silva's creator was a female player named 'Morrigan Fair Quin'. She was a human spellcaster that also specialized into Illusion magic. Morrigan was among the first members of the guild, but sadly didn't live enough to see the end of YGGDRASIL. She was attacked while walking home after work one night. It was ruled as an attempted robbery gone wrong. She was stabbed with a knife and taken to a hospital. She didn't make it past that night. Her best friend who also played YGGDRASIL though in another guild, was the one to inform her guildmates about her fate.

@rivaan

will finish/add descriptions/come up with even more spells, when I get off work!

PS: CS is in first post on first page

@urukhai

Okay, so I will finish looking at your CSes after lunch (and hopefully finish mine as well so everyone can have some examples >.<), but one thing stands out to me about Silva, that being that you haven't included a character picture. That just makes me want to make sure you're taking into account what angels look like in YGGDRASIL, which is... this.



Or this:



Also the idea of a Doppelganger taking the form of an elf to avoid persecution by the heteromorphic haters is pretty clever. Will finish looking at the rest of the sheet later.

Fyi creating a lizard man tanky anti-mage monk. In case anybody had that idea..._{*Looks around suspiciously*}

@Eklispe

Yes.

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

Some of the stats confuse me. What are RESIST and SPECIAL? Which aspects of a character do they affect?

@RedDusk

RESIST is for things like debuffs, DoT and harmful status effects, whereas I'm pretty sure SPECIAL just denotes some special ability you have like Aura's breath skill.

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

@Turboshitter did you answer what the limit was for stats? If not whats the limit?

@Gilgex

You should use the character sheets as a reference. Typically though the stats for a level 100 character should equal a combined total somewhere between 600-700

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

@Turboshitter this CS is indeed quite... hard to fill out xD but that's a good thing!
now a few questions before I can return to filling it up.
1: if we put in an original class, should we put in description about it?
2: should we put descriptions about the items:
3: again should we ptu descriptions about the effects of the spells?

Those are the questions I thought up for now :3 expect more to come at later time :P
Also will illusion spells of the highest degree be able to cause real physical effects like, let's say you suffer a wound in the illusion, and the body reacts like it really got struck and so on :3 Also from what level should illusion magic start having that effect if so, 7-8+?

@rivaan

The question's probably been asked half a dozen times, but are there many NPC spots left? 'Cause I'm pretty keen on being an NPC, if there's room for someone to be my based master.

@vFear

To all of those questions, basically. Include as much information as you feel is necessary, but try to keep it brief (i.e. if the spell's name says a lot about its function like "Fireball" or "All Appraisal Magic Item", then you probably don't need to write a description).

Mystery World // Misery World~ (Overlord RP) [High casual/Low advanced]

Another question, in the YGGDRASIL game they do have a respawn system right? Because I'm sure a MMO without one will only have the most hardcore of players. Not talking about the new world, just the game previous shutdowm.

@RedDusk

Yes, although you lose levels unless someone revives you or you pay a certain amount of gold to revive yourself. What that means in the New World is as long as you've got the money and someone to use it for you, you can be revived as often as need be (or at least until all the gold in the treasury runs dry).
