... Wait, she's not an actual child!? O_O;
I will get to reading through each sheet shortly. Having a bit of lunch and trying to recover from crappy night's sleep.
In the meanwhile, why don't I answer some more questions?

@Reia
If you're going for mostly iliterate but can still do maths, I'd suggest something like E or D ranks in INT. C is pretty high in terms of education. Remember, F is "no real education", so it stands to reaeson with E-rank INT, you'd be able to read and write, though not very good, as well as do simple maths.

Don't worry, there are tons of magical MMO and CRPG-esque items out there, just waiting for you guys to loot and grab. Myriads of enchantments and fun curses await your patronage.

Being a Litteling is fine. As I said before, if you want to make up your own species, that's totally okay, as long as they're not horrifically overpowered or just, plain stoopids.

I don't have a discord and I personally won't set one up. This again has to do with bad eyesight, meaning I acn't actually make use of the program. That doesn't stop you guys from setting one up for yourselves though. But, if you want to do collabs with me specifically, I'm afraid PM convos are your only option.

EDIT:;

Blurp, missed some things.

If you want to include why your character was drawn to the falling star/light in your history, rather than in your initial post, that's entirely up to you.

You should always post your unaccepted CS in the OOC before you post in the Character Tab. Only approved and accepted characters go in the chara tab section.


@Reia
Branwen Burrows is mostly fine. The only thing I'd like you to do is remove the bit about acid in her Earth-element resistance. Acid and Earth are, in this setting at least, considered seperate elements - otherwise, you could kill Trolls with rocks... Once you've done that though, she's perfectly accepted and you can go ahead and post her sheet in the Charavter Tab. Welcome. :)

@Afro Samurai
Atua looks fine. I just wanted to ask two things:
1. There is no mention of her receivin g formal education while in the I'wali territory, aside from hunting, woodcarving and such. Yet her INT is rather high - so, do the I'wali teach their young to read and write in their native language/alphabet? Is it a boon from Imare? Or is it just that you wanted a bigger mana-pool?
2. Her twin daggers, as far as I can tel are unenchanted and have no particular powers or effects other than being decorated?

Other than this, I'm not sure about the whole "industrialization" bit. Remember that the technology-level of Oublioth is on par with medeival europe, so line-production and such large-scale manufacturing does not exist. I'm also amused that the I'wali know how to make carbon-aluminium... XD
But regardless, she looks fine and you're welcome to post her in the Character Tab-part of the topic. Welcome to you as well. :)

@ERode
Cecilia Tonitrus looks lovely just as before.
My only issue is with 'Storm's Boon' - I'd rather you keep one of its effects, either the numbing paralyzing effect for melee strikes, OR the thrown explosion and returning to wielder. Having both in a single skill is a bit much, unless said explosion radius is very small... In which case, it's fine.
Other than that, she's obviously accepted. You're most welcome to post her in the Character Tab, my friend. :)
I should clarify.

WIS doesn't protect you against offensive magic, it protects you against spells like Charm, Dominate Person, Fear, Despair or other spells or abilities that mess with your head and your will/resolve.

Unless you have a particular weakness to a certain element or type of magic, nobody is more or less susceptible to being blasted by it. A person with 'F' WIS will take as much damage from a fireball to the face as someone with 'A'-rank WIS, provided neither have weaknesses or resistances to Fire.
@Crusader Lord
Making a child who is mature for their age is fine, everyone matures at different rates after all. Just look at me, I'm the most childish person I know, and I'm supposedly old.

If you want a cursed bloodline with special bonuses but also particular drawbacks, that's fine. Just make sure that the bonuses and demerits are balanced and fair. Like say, having resistance to all major elements, poison and disease resistances AND being able to hold your breath for 10 minutes under water is not fairly balanced against weaknesses like 'having nightmares when sleeping' or 'is socially awkward' or 'suffers from panic anxiety or internal pangs of random pain'. Basically, your weaknesses has to be something that isn't too obscure, or something you yourself don't have 100% control over. Otherwise, go right ahead.

@Reia
Damage works as damage does. If you get cut with a knife, you start bleeding. If you get punched in the gut, you get abruise. The strength of the attacker versus your defenses dictates how severe the injury is. Naturally, unless you have Vitality of 'F'-rank, you'll be able to survive and endure far more injuries and pain than an average human being.

Consider damage in terms of stages, going from soemthing like:

No Damage = Uninjured
Cuts, scrapes, bruises = Barely Injured
Gash, deep cut, puncturing = Injured
Damaged internal organs, broken bone, bloodloss = Badly Injured
Lost limbs, impaled/run through, severed major arteries, severe bloodless = Almost Dead

Now, thankfully, we have these handy things called potions, scrolls and spells, so taking damage isn't half as lethal as it would be in the real world. Still, you guys don't have HP bars, so don't go getting yourself mauled by a bear just to try and test how much pain you can take before dropping. Resurrection spells are expensive...

@ERode
I support this idea!
@Crusader Lord
Glad to see you stopped by again. I'll answer your question(s) as best I can.

The term for a child born from an angel and a demon/devil's union is called a 'Nephilim'. At least if the parents are of those races. In your case however, the original progenitors were both halfsies, meaning their offsprings would be quarter-nephilim. Subsequent generations would become more watered down.

Now, to answer the major quesation. In my personal preference, I have never liked the idea that half-breeds gain benefits from both parents and, usually, none of the drawbacks. I also am not particularly fond of the "the blood lay dormant for X time until SUDDENLY awakening!"-trope, especially when said 'suddenly awoken' powers present themselves in a fantastic or incredibly impressive way.

To put it simply; I'm fine with whatever age you want your character to be, and if you want to make them a 1/32nd-part Nephilim, that's totally fine. But don't expect to be given special powers or abilities, because the more watered down the lineage is, the less remarkable and less power it holds in comparison to the original. You'll be able to have traits of both angels and devils/demons, for sure, but compared to something like an Aasimar (celestial-blooded human) or Tiefling (fiend-blooded human), or even a 1/4 or 1/8th Nephilim, your character's "racial bonuses" would be fairly minor, in all fairness.

Additionally, I'm sorry to say, but I will not be making the Main Protagonist in such a way as to facilitate or make another character 'work'. This is due in part to the fact that I already have a set idea and concept for them, and due in part to if I do it for one person, I should do it for everyone - and that could get real messy, reeeaaaal fast. o_O;

I hope that answered your questions. :o
And with THIS now finished, I do believe that this Interest Check has served its purpose and come to an end.

I hope to see anyone who's still interested in the official roleplay. :)
From Oubliette to Oublioth

An original unoriginal isekai fantasy roleplay, inspired by oh-so-many others like it.


~ Unofficial OP for FOTO ~


Waitlist:
The following RPGuild Members are currently waiting for a spot to open in this roleplay.

  • There are currently no people in the waitlist. :(
Our story begins with the popular VRMMORPG, Oubliette Online, released in 21XX. The game was a tremendous success, being one of the most immerssive and advanced games of its time, earning it critical acclaim and a massive player-base. Expanding and growing, the successful game saw an impressive lifespawn of just over 14 years, before the decline in players eventually prompted the once-reigning-star of online games to prepare to shut down.

In those last minutes of the VRRMMO's time still online, a single player decided that just sitting around, waiting for the end to come, was a huge waste of time. They wanted to go out with a bang, not a whimper. As such, gathering all the possessions they had managed to acrue over their career in the game world, they set out on one fianl self-imposed quest: To challenge the greatest World Boss that Oubliette Online had to offer! To challenge the beast to a one-on-one battle, that - once the server shut down - would lock their avatar and the great monster in an eternal, glorious battle forever!

Or... At least that was the plan...

As the timer for the server shutdown reached 0, the World Boss unleashed its most powerful attack, and our brazen player took said blow face-first, just as the world of Obuliette Online came to an end. TBut strangely, the combination of staying online until the very end, being hit by a powerful virtual attack that could wipe out an entire party of players and some form of Deus-Ex Machina magic, our player was torn from both their physical body in the real world, and the world of the VRMMO... Launched through time, space and the very dimensional rift between realities, arriving in a new, unfamiliar world, stuck in the body of their Oubliette Online avatar.

However, it wasn't just like they suddenly opened their eyes and 'poof!', they were in an unfamiliar place, no, the arrival to the new world was a bit more... Dramatic... And more importantly, very much observable and noticed by the inhabitants and natives of this new, strange place. Tearing through the night sky, like a falling star or plume of light, the dimension-torn player fell from the heavens and crashed into what was know commonly known as the Frogotten Ruins. Some took the bright, falling light as a sign of divine providence, while others thought it a sign of the world's end. Others still believed it may be the arrival of a mystic and legendary creature, while some considered it a gift from the heavens.

Regardless of who thought what and whetever anyone actually guess right, one single conclusive thing united them all - the curiousity and desire to investigate whatever the cause may have been.

And so, dear brave soul, this is where you come into the story. As a native of these lands, you too have been drawn to the falling light. Be it as an adventurer, a mercenary, a lone traveller, a greedy merchant or just a curious commoner out picking mushrooms, you - for whatever reason is your own - have gone to find the source of what the Forgotten Ruins now hide... And once you find it, your life will change forever...


~ Welcome to Oubliette Online ~


Hello and greetings, welcome to this roleplay. This is a story based on the typical and - as of late - very popular "isekai"-trope common to manga and anime. The setting is a rather typical fantasy world, which has a surprising amount of similarities to a certain MMORPG called Oubliette Online. In this story, you'll be playing the roles of natives to this fantasy world, who come into contact with a person who - for whatever mysterious reason - tore through the fabric of reality and ended up stuck in their game avatar's body and ended up in your world. Our tale will begin shortly, but before we move on to anything else, please take some time to read the information provided below, as it may prove useful to you.


~ World, Races and Lore ~


The world in which our tale takes place is called Oublioth, a world that has strangely game-mechanicky powers, creatures and people. The world is vast and varied, and you are free to add and implement places, nations, cultures and customs into the world. Just keep in mind the following when you make your own additions.






~ Rules & Templates ~


Below you will find a blank Character Sheet which you'll need to fill out in case you want to make a character and join this RP. But before you do so, please read some of the tips and guidelines before you start, as it may contain important tidbits of information that you might otherwise miss or be ignorant of.



Now that you're well on your way to creating your very own character, please take a moment to read through the rules of this roleplay. They shouldn't be too restrictive or stifling, but we still need to make some things clear, just to avoid unfortunate muck-ups.

@Reia
When I say "no monsters", I generally mean larger or more powerful beings. Things like shapeshifting dragons, arachnee/driders, lamia/gorgons, ancient vampires, etc. While something like a werewolf might be bordering on the very edge of what I'd allow, a weremouse is - I assume - a rather 'weak' type of lycanthrope, generally speaking of course. So I don't mind.
Just expect people to treat her rather poorly though - even if she is a chubby, adorable mouse-looking thing, jerks are still racist jerks. :P

EDIT:

Oh, and I also read through both Cecilia and Branwen's sheets. They look just fine to me. :)
@Xaltwind Hey there! Saw this Int. Check and decided to drop by and ask some questions as least! If you don't mind, of course. :D

1. Is there an age preference on characters? For example: Should all characters be 16-20 year old at minimum, or would an 8-10 year old with a special class or useful ability like clairvoyance be usable as the token/adorable "daughter" character?

2. While things like devils/demons and angels aren't playable, what about humans or proper playable humanoids descended from such bloodlines? They wouldn't likely be like a half angel or half demon, unless you noted such being feasible, though the idea is that people bred with other beings to acquire special abilities or traits in their particular Human (Mixed-Blood) bloodline.

3. Stat-wise, can characters be somewhat or highly specialized? Not as a power gaming move, since they aren't from the game. I mean more something like a character who is very weak in most areas, but has inherited powerful wisdom or high INT due to a special trait or highly focused/strange upbringing sorta deal.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear back from you soon! And whether I join or not, I hope this fun-sounding concept goes far as an RP! :)

Hello and welcome. I don't mind answering questions at all, that's why this Int.Chk exists after all.

1. There is no age-restriction. If you wanna be a 4 year old toddler who can barely walk and talk, or a 95 year old, senile dementia-case granny, that's fine by me. Just keep in mind that if you play character who is obviously going to be inferior in terms of physique and mental-faculties, your stats will need to reflect that. No way in pepperoni-hell am I going to accept a 10 year old with A-rank STR, VIT and WIS... xD

2. This question has already been answered earlier. Things like Aasimar (humans with celestial blood), Tiefelings (humans with demonic/devil-blood) or other similar distant relatives of other-worlders are fine. Things like outright Half-Devas or Half-Fiends are no allowed though. But yes, people with the bloodline of angels, dmeons, planars or elementals are fine, as long as they're not half-or-quarter-breeds.

3. You can spec your stats however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to spread them out. If you wanna go all in and have S-rank in WIS, but F in everything else, that's up to you. There're no stat points or regulations on a set 'average', all I ask is that people think about their character and set stats that are appropriate. If you're a bookworm who just sits at a desk and reads all day, maybe you shouldn't have -Srank VIT or A-rank DEX... If you're a barbarian who was born into a nomadic tribe that lives by foraging and hunting, maybe you shouldn't have A-rank INT or B-rank CHA... But, it's all up to each one of you in the end.

... Unless I think you're being unreasonable, in which case I'll give you the nope-card.

@Reia, @EROde
I'll have a look later, but I likely won't say too much. As I've said, the OOC willb e up tomorrow or this weekend, and I'd recommend you read through all the details and specifics in that before you finalize your characters. Who knows? There might be somehting unexpected or contradictory that you didn't see coming? I doubt it very much, but you never know!

EDIT:

Oh, and regarding Thievery as a profession. It's infe. Though it does beg the question what point there is in making a Thief or Rogue if their primary function and skills can be used by any other class as a sub-vocation... But I'm not gonna sit here and nit-pick about things like that. If you want to be a Warrior-Bard with Sticky Fingers, then go for it. :P
