So, you're fine with anything? xD That doesn't narrow it down though~ T-T
Alright, new rule. You may only choose ONE! >:(
Also, I'm going to be taking a brief nap... For like... 2.5 hours... Still a bit sick and tired from work. I won't go anywhere though, I'll be right back here when I wake up.
On that note... Torran and Leela really should get pictures... Just sayin'. ;)
Really? Nothing? Nothing at all? No VMs, PMS, OOC or Char posts? Not a single one...? *Deflates into empty sack on the ground*
Well, maybe I should give you all something to do then, while we wait for more applicants. It just so happens that we still haven't fully decided on what Familia you lot want to belong to in-game, we've had two votes for Athena, but that's from a very small list I provided in the Interest Check. To remedy this, I've gona ahead and included the entire list of possible candidates I had in mind. You'll find them in the hider below.
But that's not all. I'd also like you to find a picture to go along with whichever Goddess you choose to vote for. There's no guarantee I'll use it for the official profile, but it might! And at the very least it'll help me get ideas and get a feel for you guys' tastes and preferences. Not that such a thing matters overly much, since I got a pretty good idea in my head already, but suggestions and new ideas never hurt to see/hear.
On a different note;
You know when that feeling when you're only going to buy a handful of groceries at the store. You come come up to the register and there's this one old guy infront of you. And of course, rather than use the provided shopping-baskets that the store supplies, he uses his own litle satchel-wagon which forces him to bend all the way down, and then back up again, to put one item at a time on the conveyor belt...
To anyone who has immediate questions, I suggest you go take a look at our old Interest Check, and if you can't find your answer there - well, just leave a post here and I'll get back to you tomorrow after I get home from work.
I'd like to remind anyone applying that, in the case of more applicants than we have available slots, this is not a first come, first serve-based recruitment process. If there are too many applicants, you will be evaluated on the quality, diversity and detail of your character.
But for now, I wish you all a good night. Looking forward to see what'll be waiting for me when I get back home tomorrow. :)
Good, good. Then we got the two pre-OOC characters submitted now. Now we just gotta wait for the rest of the peeps to start submitting their character sheets as well.
I'm gonna go through Torran and Leela's sheets again before I head to bed in a couple of hours. But unless something major was done to them, I'll be sending each of you a PM with information about any stat or skill-related tweaks that'll be allowed to be added by you.
The Labyrinth city of Orario, the home of the towering Babel and the sprawling, underground dungeon. Home to all the world's various races and many of the Gods and Goddesses who descended onto the earth to live alongside their children, Orario is the home of many Familia and even more adventurers. Some specialize in exploring the dungeon and its depths, while others focus on crafting items or even providing other, certain, services.
But regardless of what they do and how they make their living, each Familia is busy with their own lives and their own goals. Our story in particular however, follows the road of a few, select children, new to both the world and the vast opportunities - as well as dangers - that Orario and the dungeon beneath it can offer. Will they come to grow into legends and earn renown? Or will they like so many others bcome corpses and food for the monsters in the dark depths below?
Only time will tell how, where and what will become of these young, fledgeling adventurers and their small, budding Familia. But the time is now for them to take their first step, to march forward into the world of adventure, exploration, magic and even intrigue.
Welcome to an alter oration, of DanMachi. Story Information:
this story is a semi free-roaming roleplay set in the DanMachi universe, several decades prior to the events of Bell Cranel and the Hestia Familia. Players have the freedom to do pretty much what they want, be it exploring the city of Orario, going into the dungeon, visiting the market and shops or just hanging out with each other at an inn or their Familia's home. Actually doing things is what matters in this story, so get out there and try everything!
The main plot is divided into seven chapters, and each chapter has a specific event or goal that needs to be completed in order to progress to the next chapter. This means that you, the players, have the choice of deciding how long or short the story will be. It also means you're free to focus on what you want to do yourselves, rather than feeling rushed or forced by a GM to do certain things in a certain order. Complete and finish the chapter's goals and events at the pace you all want and feel comfortable with.
Of course, you don't have complete freedom. As the story is set in Orario, you'll have to stay within the city limits. There is also a day-night cycle, which will prevent you from stalling or taking all the time in the world to do things. In addition, you will have to eat food and drink water at least once a day, as well as sleep at least four hours - otherwise, you risk bad things happening.
But other than this though, you are pretty much free to explore and do whatver in Orario, Babel and the dungeon. So go forth and have fun! Rules:
If you intend to take part in this roleplay, please follow these few rules.
1. You must make at least one post each week. If you have something that prevents you from doing this, contact me before your time-limit expires.
2. Do not start flame wars or act hostile towards your fellow players. It's fine to argue and discuss, but don't become destructive or toxic towards each other.
3. You may only play as one character at a time. If you want to make a new one, you'll have to retire, kill off or make your current toon into an NPC first.
4. Avoid meta-gaming always. If someone thinks about something inside their head, your character should not have knowledge about it. You should not be aware of events that took place in a location you wasn't even close to, unless someone told you about it. In general, don't be omniscient and be fair.
5. Nobody has plot armor. Your character is neither all-powerful nor indestructible. You can and will die if you aren't careful. Poison, disease, bloodloss, burns and other things are very real hazards that you can't just shrug off - unless you have the proper skills to do so. Be careful, be reasonable and be willing to not be in perfect condition all the time.
6. Have fun! This is a roleplay meant to be enjoyed and make you smile. You're not supposed to feel that it's a chore or a nuisance to deal with. IF you're not having fun, send me a PM and let me know why and we'll see what can be done. Important Information:
In case you aren't overly familiar with the DanMaci series, please visit the link above to read up on and/or find answers to some of your questions. Even those familiar with the series should pay a visit every now and then in order to brush up on certain things.
If you have questions, please do ask. It's much better to ask if you don't know, rather than wing it and end up having to redo an entire post or character sheet simply because you made incorrect assumptions. I'll be happy to answer anything you want to know, and if I don't know the answer myself, someone else might help you instead! Character Sheet Template:

Parameters & Skills:

Equipment: In This list, you'll list all the notewrothy gear your character is currently using. To begin with, choose something basic like: - Old short sword - Everyday clothes

Class Information:
Adventurer: This class gains a small bonus to all things related to physical combat. They are more likely to develop combat-oriented skills.
Alchemist: This class specializes in making potions, salves, medicines and bombs. They collect ingrediants from the dungeon to produce these goods, which they then either sell for money or use while exploring. They typically develop a mix of utility and crafting-related skills.
Mage: This class focuses more on using magic and spells to achieve their goals. Be it blowing up large groups of enemies, smiting a large opponent or healing their allies, mages focus more on spellcasting than physical prowess. They are more likely to develop skills that augment magic.
Smith: These people mainly focus on crafting weapons, armor and accessories for use in battle. They can repair damaged gear and, given enough skill, can even forge Magic Weapons. They typcially develop a mix of combat skills and skills that help with crafting.
Supporter: This class focuses on helping their party-members. Be it carrying extra gear, collecting the Exilia from slain monsters or buying the items needed before a dungeon-crawl, their job is to make life easier for their allies. They typically develop utility-skills, as well as being very good at haggling. Player List:
Here's the list of all active players and their respective character:
@AdmrlStalfos19: As it says in the initial post, you are what you play. If you want to be an Adventurer who is good at haggling, all you need to do is spend a lot of time at the market, bartering for items, arguing about quality and pinching pennies. The Supporter class has an easier time doing these things initially, but if you put in enough time, you can end up being just as good.
Now then, Torran seems like a lovable teddy bear and I honestly would love to see him in the actual story. I should also mention this;
Your current stats are not necessarily the ones you'll start with in the story. We're just leaving things at 'I'-rank for now to keep things tidy and simple. When the actual story and OOC goes live, I'll probably inform each of you about any initial changes/boosts to your stats.
So don't worry, I'm not gonna make everyones' stats be exactly the same at the get-go. I'm taking your race, your background and your appearances into consideration, so you all will likely have a very varied stat-pool from one another.
Edit: I've added Leela and Torran to the first post, complete with links to their respective posts. :)
I'll be heading off to bed soon, but considering I'm still sick I'll likely be home from work tomorrow again, so there won't be any longer delays.
By the way, you lot - you still haven't told me what Familia you would prefer... I mean, if none of you have a preference, I might just have to do a poll or something... :P
