@Generalno1

We're still discussing some details on this RP, so for now you can still sign up and we'll start ASAP (probably tomorrow or the day-after-tomorrow).

[Spiney]

Ive noticed that no one has got heavy armour yet.
You cant have a good group without a tank (WoW terminology there)
My guy may have medium armour but he a better marksman than swordsman.

Just saying.

Also if anybody wants i can try draw their character.

[Drethelis]

Note that your starting gold is 100, not 183

Gold distributed in intervallic multiples of 10 just sounded too toolish, but your RP, your rules I guess...

[Dogmantra]

Dogmantra, are you sure about your Magicka/Willpower? Magicka Cost = X1 + X2 so you need to be very lucky (1+1 or 1+2), even though you'll do a lot of damage. You're not going to cheat right? (teling us that you got 1+1 every single time ).

Oh also this way my magicka reserve is as close to pi as possible.

Josjie, if you really wanted to make sure people aren't cheating, you'd make us use Invisible Castle.

And by the way, can I have my enchanted weapon?

approved

unfortunately the enchantment won't deal extra damage that would make things a bit too complicated.

That website seems useful but I think I can trust everyone here. And if they cheat, that's their fault. I couldn't care less . This RP is for fun, nothing more.

[Generalno1]

Sure,but if you use the castle,you won't have to deal with people whining that "he/she obviously cheated!" if we turn on each other

[King Acunasti]

If you cheat, you're taking this way too seriously.

This RP is for fun, nothing more.

I'll make a character in about 20 minutes.

EDIT: To Raven - there are no Orcs in the world of Alexenaria. There are goblins, but they aren't races. They're monsters. Can you edit that and change it to Human or High Elf please? Thanks, mate

[King Acunasti]

Here's mine:

Name: Nicolas “The Nimble” Jahk

Height: 5’10

Weight: 145 lbs

Race: Human

Age: 28

Sex: Male

Born as a: Thief

Your youth: Nicolas Jahk, also known as “The Nimble”, “Sneaky Jack”, and “The Universal Key”, is one of the most well-known thieves of Alexenaria. In his most recent activity, he has stolen the Blue Crown - the crown of the passed Queen of the Allied Kingdom; the dead wife of King Dorian Vant - from the Royal Palace without even being seen. Nicolas was born and raised in the Poor District of Heartelfall, where he was beaten by both of his parents as well as the other children of his generation who had lived in the area. Little had these children known what their victim would become.

Your sexuality: Female

Additional info: Nicolas is not only known for being the most skilled thief in Alexenaria, but also the most ruthless and dangerous, having been known to kill residents of the homes of which he’d looted without reason, as he has never been seen or heard on the job. He has a relationship with a beautiful Dark Elf girl who resides within the Mist Kingdom. However, “Sneaky Jack” is renowned for his charm and persistence with women.
Citizens of Heartelfall who have been affected by Nicolas’s work claim to have seen him change into a bat and escape out the window of their home, transform into a ghost and walk through doors, and take on the form of a common household object in order to blend in with his surroundings. But none of these are true.

Describe your strength: Average

Describe your stamina: Above average (he is unbelievably fast and nimble)

Describe your smartness: Above average (He knows exactly how to get out of even the most difficult of situations.)

Would you want a Snow Elf as a pet: Nah, he’d rather have a chicken.

What's your main role in this group: The thief, persuader, and lock-picker

Financial status: Normal (but has hundreds of extremely valuable items kept in a sack that is always slung over his shoulder)

Views on politics: Although he is always at odds with the Allied Kingdom guard, he actually supports the monarchy with quite a passion…however, he does let this respect get in the way of his job.

Religious belief: A strong follower of Nastiacu and Artnam.

Armor: Light
Primary weapon: Short Blades
Secondary weapon: Axes
Magicka reserve: 50
Willpower: 55

Your youth: Blue was orphaned at the age of 4, he was sent to an (Extremely rundown and overcrowded) orphanage, where he stayed for 3 years, before escaping from the hellhole.

By the time he was 13, he had moved onto bigger game, and had become known as ‘The Shadow’, due to his ability to slip into even the most well guarded castle, steal anything valuable (Gems, gold, weapons... One time a suit of armour) and get out without anyone knowing he was there until it was too late.
Your sexuality: Straight
Additional info: Blue is a surprisingly persuasive person, but only has a small group of close friends, most of whom are contract givers, fences, information getters and whatnot.

Describe your smartness: Above average (He can figure out complicated locks and puzzles)
Would you want a Snow Elf as a pet: ...No
What's your main role in this group: Warrior/Thief

[Generalno1]

Sex: yes please

Since I'm still not using smilies,I'm going to do this instead
*rolls eyes so hard they go back into his head*
in other words....it's been over done
back on topic,when do we start?

[Drethelis]

Has anyone noticed that most of the characters in this party are "Over the top geniuses who are the smartest of the smart"?

[Spiney]

Yeah i guess they are. But their intelligence lies in their speciallities.
Eg. My guy is a great smith and inventor but is terrible at alchemy.

[Dogmantra]

Has anyone noticed that most of the characters in this party are "Over the top geniuses who are the smartest of the smart"?

Well I presume that most people with this much time to dedicate to an RPG are over the top geniuses who are the smartest of the smart.

Write what you know.

[The Raven]

Everyone is hyper intelligent and straight....

Me and Dogmantra are the only ones playing another sexuality.

[Dogmantra]

Well of course I would.

[The Raven]

STill, it's a bit "Hey, let me borrow your earpiece ( silly voice) I'm the Scout, look at me, rainbows make me cry."

[Josjie]

I'm still working on the battle template but when it's finished, we can start . Give me 1-2 days .

It takes a bit more time than I expected because we have so many participants now .

[Biotechnic]

Well, my characters smart in the tactics of sabotage and ambushes. He knows next to nothing outside of that. Word.

[Josjie]

Battle Template

1. You need these formulas
Spell Damage = Willpower + (5*X1)
Amount of health restored = (WP * X1) / 2
Melee damage = X1 * 4
Magicka cost = X1 + X2

2. Sometimes you only need to roll the dice once
If you cast a spell and perform a melee attack, X1 means one dice roll. So if you roll 4, you use that number for the melee damage, magicka cost and spell damage formulas.

3. Battles work like this
You face a number of enemies. This could be one boss or multiple weaker enemies.
You need this form if you want to attack:

~----------BATTLE----------~
X1 = ...
X2 = ...
Melee damage = ...
Spell damage = ...
Spell: ...
Magicka cost = ...
~------------------------------~

"Spell: ..." --> the spell you want to cast (for example: Fire Damage)

If you want to cast a healing spell, use this form:

~----------BATTLE----------~
X1 = ...
X2 = ...
Melee damage = ...
Health restored = ...
Username: ...
Magicka cost = ...
~------------------------------~

You can cast a healing spell on yourself or one of your friends. Fill in his/her name in the "username" field.

We, the admins, will post the results of your attack. The counter-attack of your enemies and your new stats (health, magicka etc.). Do not update your stats until we say so!

4. Example of a simple battle

You are under attack by an UESP Moderator! Kill him!
HP: 100

~----------BATTLE----------~
X1 = 3
X2 = 4
Melee damage = 12
Spell damage = 87
Spell: Fire Damage
Magicka cost = 7
~----------------------------~

The UESP Moderator has 1 HP left!
The Raven lost 7 Magicka and has 40 Magicka left.
UESP Moderator attacks The Raven for 14 melee damage and 20 spell damage (Shock spell). The Raven has 1 HP left.
The Raven, please update your stats .

~----------BATTLE----------~
X1 = 1
X2 = 1
Melee damage = 4
Health restored = 50
Username: The Raven
Magicka cost = 2
~----------------------------~

(just an example, not all of these outcomes are true )

UESP Moderator has 0 HP left. The battle is over.
Drethelis restored The Raven's HP, The Raven has 51 HP left.
Drethelis lost 2 Magicka and has 38 Magicka left.
Everyone gets +200 gold!
Everyone, please update your stats!

There's no specific order for these turns. Which means that the first person who replies, gets the first turn. If you want to discuss the battle (tactics), please use the spoiler tags .

If you have any questions, feel free to PM them to one of the admins, Vivec's Tears, King Acunasti or me, Josjie.

5. When facing multiple enemies

We'll post small stat bars of all the enemies. You can choose who you are going to attack, like this:

Enemy 1
~----------BATTLE----------~
""""""
~----------------------------~

Simple as that

Let's start!

The party of adventurers is descending the stairs that lead to the market district. Start with your introductions if you like and once we get to the market, we can buy our first spells .

[Generalno1]

Taran looked around at his comrades,there were a lot of them.
"well the mission is really important.though i hope we have enough time to visit the taverns"Taran thought to himself

[Josjie]

Spoiler:

You are free to use your own dice or a website. You can put your stats in your signature or include them at the end of every post ( copy & paste ).
