@Click This, @Crusader Lord, @Hammerman, @PINKPANTHERESS, @Qia As a reminder, I will be posting later today. From the time of this OOC post, there is approximately 11 hours left until I start working on my next IC post.
I've updated Cecilia's sheet, she now has the picture you liked properly displayed in her Appearance. Which goes for all of the rest of you, in case you want to see what her bikini armor more or less actually looks like. ;)
[@ALL OF YOU]
I'd also like to take a moment and remind everyone that, while I said there was no limit to the amount of posting and interacting you can do between player characters, do keep this in mind:
Not everyone has the same amount of free time or ability to post as frequently as they'd like. The more posts that are made, the more catching up and more things someone with a slower rate of posting will need to address in their posts. This might be daunting or make people feel like they're being left out. Or outright intimidate some people into feeling like they can't keep up.
So, while I do appreciate and love all the activity - since it seems you guys are really having fun with this - I would like to ask that you just take a moment and wait a bit for someone you've interacted with to respond IC, so they don't feel like you're leaving them out or skipping them because they can't immediately reply.
That all asid, you're still absolutely, 100% free to post and interact with each other as much as you want - just remember that once NPCs, challenges or enemies show up, the speed of posts will slow down, due to the one-interaction-per-GM-post rule. ^^
I'd also like to take a moment to thank all of you for the activity and interactions. This is the first RP I think I've made which has ever had such an amount people interacting both with each other and having this much activity overall. I do wish you'd all talk a bit more in the OOC, but hey, if ya got nothing to say I totally get that. Anyway, a big smile and thanks to all of you. I really appreicate you all. :)
There we go. Sorry it took a bit, but Cecilia's sheet is now accepted and added. Now to go read all those IC posts that sprung up over night. ^^
EDIT:
I like Sayu's reasoning. Especially since it's not too far off from the truth. :D
Just a clarification though; Only some of the trees have green bark and leaves with orange-tinted edges. The vast majority of trees do look rather normal though. The flowers are unfamiliar however. ^^
Name: Cecilia Feilding Age: 22 Nationality: Great Britain Occupation: Master’s student; museum research assistant Gender: Female
Personality: Imagine a posh brat. Then imagine her without the brat part. In other words, she's a person with money that's okay. Most of the time, at least.
That’s Cecilia, a calm, collected individual under normal circumstances. She has a refined demeanor, with a matching taste in clothing, cuisine, and artistry—but appreciates the simpler things too, sometimes. She has a quiet confidence, but is usually chill and goes with the flow. She’ll totally give you a scathing verbal smackdown (although kept classy, to a certain extent) if she thinks you’re being a fuckhead. Cecilia is a studious, well-educated, but still active woman that enjoys history and the pursuit of the arts.
Of course, these are not normal circumstances. While she doesn’t instantly judge, she still thinks clothes maketh the (wo)man, and the barest possible skin coverage in a costume is utterly… unacceptable. Cecilia actually doesn’t mind cosplaying in cute outfits, but she thinks of this particular costume as ridiculous, scandalous, and highly embarrassing. She wants to wring the neck of whatever being dumped her in this world with the barest of shreds of clothing.
Background:
Cecilia is an actual, legitimate, true-blood upper class girl from a British noble family. She has a posh life, with impressive digs in London, and an equally fancy ancestral estate in the countryside. Although she comes from a background with a significant legacy and certain connections, most of her achievements are her own.
As a lover of the great British pastime of stealing foreign cultural artifacts, Cecilia wants to follow in the footsteps of her great ancestors and become a museum curator. She was studying for a master’s in history before being rather rudely ripped away from the perfectly pleasant life she was having.
Costume Overview:
Type: Hybrid Warrior/Caster
Source: Phantasy Star
Imagery:Maximum defense bikini armor
Powers/Abilities/Spells: - Auto-Cleaning: Your costume somehow washes itself daily, meaning you never need to worry about stains or bad smell! Neat.
- Auto-Repair: Should your costume ever become torn or damaged, don't worry! It somehow restores and repairs itself daily, meaning maintenance is a non-issue! ... Unless you're in a still on-going fight.
- Pajama Party: …It’s the same damn costume. Without the clangy metal bits.
- Stat Boost (Mnor): Cecilia's costume grants her a slight boost to magic power and magic recovery.. It also grants her a very slight increase to her physical endurance.
- Warding Garb: At this stage, Cecilia's costume provides an odd amount of defense, due to the nature of one of her abilities. The ares that are covered by her costume have the same defensive strength of a 2 inch thick sheet of massive solid steel. The areas that aren't covered by her outfit have none. She also has slightly boosted resistance to harmful spells.
- Regenerative Shielding: Have you ever thought about how an advanced version of bikini armor works? Well, this is it. When Cecilia wears this costume, she’s shielded by what’s functionally a force field spell. Normally, this passively conforms to her skin, but she can turn this into a more active bubble form that she can even extend to other party members although with reduced effectiveness. It is good against physical attacks and offensive spells, hot and cold, and if she’s aware of it, can filter dangerous gases too. A little bit of creativity can let her use the energy offensively. If it depletes too much from being hit too much or too hard, it will fail. That’s bad, naturally.
Through the thin veil that seperates this from that, the tiniest of puncture for the shortest of moments, not enough to be noticed but just enough to be used. Into unknown darkness, falling through and endless, starless and soundless pitch, with no up or down, no day or night, a perfect void. Then, after what felt like an eternity but was truly not more than a mere instant, you see it. A light. There, in the distance, flickering faintly like a candle about to be extinguished by the mildest of gusts... Closer it draws, on the verge of vanishing but never quite doing so... Then, without warning, it is suddenly upon you. Right in your face. You crash into the bright, ever-changing spectrum of swriling colors which overloads your senses like a psychadelic fit!
... Then, there's nothing.
... Followed by the softly intensifying chirping of birds... And... A blue sky.
Some Forest...
It is a little prior to noon. The sun has not yet climbed to its zenith in the sky, a sky populated by wispy and lazily sailing clouds of thin white strands. The green, lush grass on the ground is soft and pleasant, with a bit of moisture and the scent of summer on it. The melodic chirping and tweeting of various birds can be heard all around, from the trees and the bushes and the rest of the underbrush too. An idyllic and peaceful moment on a quaint and slow summer day.
... If not for, y'know, these guys...
There, lying sprawled on their backs in a variety of ways, is a group of humans. From different walks of life, from different parts of the world. All female, and all dressed in ... What are those!? Did a cosplay-convention or club or something fall asleep while out on a camping trip? At the moment, they're all just lying there, their backs on the ground and their eyes closed. But... Sooner or later, one - or all of them - will wake up.
So, let's take stock of what they'll be greeted by when they do.
They're in a little clearing, covered in grass, shrubs and some wildflowers... Unfamiliar flowers at that. There are about two or three larger rocks or stones, a fallen, hollow log and ... That's about it. There are trees though. lots of trees. In every direction. Some of them have oddly green-ish bark though... Not the more common brown color, which most of the other trees seem to sport. Some of the leaves are also strange, having yellow-orange-y fringes or edges... Yup. These sure aren't the kind of trees you'd see back home! At least not all of them. Many look fairly standard and garden variety...
For now though, the group of girls seem to be alone. No other humans or animals seem to be snooping around the glen. Which is probably a good thing, for both social and survival reasons. Except for the songs of birds, the first thing these lovely ladies will see when they wake up... Is each other.
Anyway, Cecilia is accepted. I'll momentarily add her to the character tab and put her in the cast-section of the OOC. Don't worry, I'm sure I can help you find a suitably scandalous bikini that doesn't fringe on violating the RPGuild prude-laws. :p
With that said, I'm back from granny's funeral and am about to have some lunch. After that, I'll start writing up and hopefully posting the first IC post for all ya cool cats so we can get started. ^^
EDIT:
... Juuuuuuuuuust as soon as you asdd her height, eye and hair color... I totally spaced on that bit.
I love Cecilia, I relaly do. But... That outfit is too much, even for me. xD I don't mind any of the other Phantasy Star outfits, or metal/armor bikinis in general. But that one is gonna get us in some hot water with the mods. Also, I fear for Cecilia's well-being and chastity if she were to walk around populated areas in that. :P
Otherwise though, perfectly perfect and acceptable. Just get a slightly less.... Obscene... outfit and we're good. ^^;
