I'm not completely sure but I'm aiming for a start in the next couple of days ideally.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

@Cuccoruler: Okay, so... your character basically completely overlaps with one of the already accepted characters, except she does it by dancing instead of spellcasting, and the dances in some cases take extremely long when you consider how long a fight usually takes. As for the dungeon, I'm honestly not sure how that would play out in action. It seems like it would just be really confusing and hard to execute.
@Boomrocker: That's not enough of a drawback at all. Honestly if he can deadlift that much that easily and run that fast without effort I really can't accept him. It's not like all the characters for this are weak or anything but someone who could pretty much effortlessly knock down the walls of any dungeon they go(and destroy most other things with that much strength) into isn't acceptable. And not being able to jump is basically just "you can't go here", it's not a drawback when it comes to that kind of thing.
@MonkeyBusiness: You do realize this makes him a Witch, right? I mean, that's fine even if it'll make other characters pretty wary of him, but that's how things would work out.

@Cuccoruler: I'd have to see a written description for it.
@MonkeyBusiness: Okay, um, I'm not entirely sure how he got the katana from the West since like in real like fantasy!Japan is to the East. ^^;
Also, how did he learn his spell? Remember, magic taught outside of some formal education is viewed with a lot of suspicion.
@Boomrocker: Okay, first thing that sticks out to me is that he can deadlift several tons effortlessly and run fifty-five miles an hour. That's a bit ridiculous in terms of strength and speed.

I still don't do collaboration posts, and ideally there shouldn't be more then a few blows at most exchanged between two player characters at worst to avoid the RP getting wrapped up in a player versus player conflict.
Anyway, I'll get to the bios early tomorrow if not tonight.

I don't do collaboration posts and there's not going to be more than one party.
@Boomrocker: It's not that I don't want conflict, I'm worried about prolonged fighting breaking out more than disagreements. I'm slightly busy right now so I'll look the new bio and the edits I missed in a bit.
@Cuccoruler: No original races. sorry. ^^;

1. It wasn't. Strictly-speaking she didn't have an army, honestly. A better word would be her coven, since it was basically a whole bunch of very powerful witches. Quite a few are still alive, but not exactly good teachers for anyone who's not magical and they're also in hiding.
2. I know that, but IC it's a problem because character-wise he'd probably be kicked out of the party, attacked, or dragged to the courts in Meridan.
3. I will admit there's some Tolkien-esque elements in my setting(though honestly most European Fantasy-based settings have some hints of Tolkien somewhere), but Orodagor's hardly Mordor. It's one fortress, and it wasn't even Hidroroth's "land of evil" or anything like that. It was the furthest southwest fortress that's more notable then others because the Witch-Queen set up her coven there. As for omitting backstory, it's only okay if you really have no backstory in mind. And to be frank I forgot to strip that out of the OP when I was editing it to be reposted.

1. Well, again, really depends there but the vast majority were still magic-users. I guess some might not have been.
2. I will point out that at least two characters would probably not be very receptive at all if he tried to recruit them, possibly more. They'd be just about the opposite of receptive.
3. Well, I kind of thought it was clear with how I mention they eat people and have generally pretty terrible relations with every other race. Orodagor is also just a single fortress, which is also a ruined mess and was cleared of orcs when the Witch-Queen took it over before it was quite as badly a ruined mess. The only reason orcs were really in Orodagor, though, was when they were rallied as an army by Hidroroth. Aside from the occasional passing raiding party they haven't really been able to find anything they want in the ruins of Orodagor, so they don't really go there anymore.

Gender balance is a bit skewed, but as long as the characters interact well and things are fun for the players it doesn't really matter.
Also, anyone who has signed up can begin work on a dungeon(multiple are allowed) if they so choose. These will go through the same approval process as characters do.

@Boomrocker: Sorry, I have some issues here. To start with, him possibly being trained by the remnants of the Witch-Queen's army doesn't much make sense. She was running an enormous coven, her army was largely magic-users. Even the ones still around went into hiding when she was seemingly killed. Basically he'd have to be over eight-hundred years old and a mage for that, and while that's possible he's clearly not a mage.
If he just appears in random places why exactly is he going to a party? He seems more like the type of character who'd be working towards gathering an army or something.
Speaking of his armies... just about the only two people who have ever achieved a large army of orcs were Hidroroth and his successor, Izandrath. They were respectively a god and something comparable to an angel. Not even the Witch-Queen got them following her, because they're pretty nasty in their outlook on anyone but other orcs or things they can use to fight. Even if he killed a lot of them, they most they ever do with humans that isn't killing or capturing them is sell captives they don't eat to slavers.
@SilverDawn: I don't see problems here, accepted.
@MonkeyBusiness: While I won't give anything final until he's finished, why does he have a katana in a more European fantasy setting? I mean, there IS a fantasy Japan equivalent but unless he went there it's unlikely that he got one of their swords. And he's probably not from there given that Hundi are from West Ithillin. ^^;
