Gods & Men: The Ancient Myths RPG: Chapter 1 OOC Thread

I'll try to get an app up I think, but I'm gonna need to study everything in a little more detail first, but just a taster for you guys, here's a picture of my intended character, just so you get an idea:

Hmm... I don't think we have a man in a coat that's about to die yet...

A dragon's dinner? :huh:
 
Yeah, it is a tad complex, but trust me, me and JB are pretty nice guys (maybe not Johnny, what with all the evil..) and we'll be happy to answer any questions and clarify any issues (although Johnny may ask for your soul or something, again, because of the evil). :up:



We put a month of work into this game, and it's still being tweaked and fiddled with as we go along, so yeah, a whole lot of thought went into this game.

I'm not a bad guy...really. I'm really quite nice.
I'll answer any questions you have about the game.

So what if you just have to sign your soul over to me?
 
Sorry to tell you SF, but I'm a memeber of the JB secret fan society, but shhhhh

Read through all the magic and stuff, and most of bestiary(most of which I didn't have to), so now I'm typing my app!

Dragon's dinner? not quite, tell me that isn't one of the coolest pictures you've ever seen?

If you're thinking of being a dragon, I'd stop the app. Not trying to sound like a dick, but I'm afraid dragons are an advanced race and only one PC of a an advanced race is allowed at a given time.

Right now that's the Ferret for dragons, Question for vampires, and myself for liches.

Not a dragon, but the bloke.....

I just mean he won't be a victim all the time.

Speaking of which, I'll try and post soon. I'm just trying to figure out some story stuff I'm working on.
 
Cool. Just wanted to be sure so you didn't waste the time it takes to fill out our app. :up:

I think our application is the largest of all the RPGs on the board. :o


I've been following this enough, I know dragons are off limits, and not something that interst me anyway, wouldn't want to play a dragon.

Good. Keep it that way. :cmad:

Just kidding, Falzur's a good dragon.

Just don't get on his bad side. :cmad:
 
No worries. As long as you don't let is take you a couple weeks to post it's all good. :up:

I have some ideas, but I don't want to solo it completely. So I'm asking someone to join up as a vampire hunter.
 
done my app except the sample, so I should be able to get it up within the hour.
 
Screen Name: Cyrusbales

Character you have created (include known alias or nicknames here as well): Kamahl, Dragon-slayer, Scale-wearer, Sky-cutter, Wingless warrior and many other dragon removal based names.

Race/Culture: Human. The last living member(to his knowledge) of a Germanium tribe of Dragon hunters. They were quite a reclusive band, travelling across Europe and Asia in search of, you’ve guessed it, Dragons. Due to the tribe’s nature, they are quite strong and independent, not really sociable creatures. However since the culture has been dead for a decade or so, he does differ slightly from the typical tribe member.

Racial Traits (traits specific to your race; a list can be found in the second post of the OOC thread) (For races not listed, GMs must create traits for that race first before player approval): Human, pretty obvious.

Character Class (Somewhat similar to the classes in the CAH RPG, but with some differences) (Choose One): Fighter.

Magic (if your character is a Mystic, choose from the following schools of magic to specialize in. NOTE: A player will only be able to cast spells that deal with their schools, forsaking all others, so choose carefully. A mystic gets 4 points to spend in deciding their skill level in magic: 1 point equals minor skills in the chosen school, 2 points equal moderate skill, and 4 equals mastery in the school of choice. Paladins receive 1 point, and it must go towards Protection; Spellswords get only 1 point, and can choose any school to specialize in; Minstrels get 2 points and at least one must go towards Enchantment) (Descriptions of the schools and the point system can be found in a reserved post in the OOC Thread): NO MAGIC.

Speech Color and/or Font (actually say what you're using, i.e. Arial Black; don't go "Like this", or what not): BOLD DARK RED

Character Alignment (Good/Evil/Neutral): Neutral, although he hates dragons.

Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Highly intelligent and aware of cultures etc and how to handle people if necessary, but generally preferring to be the strong and silent type. Puts survival of the fittest as a top priority and cares about himself and no others. A small level of charisma is there if necessary, but he’ll gladly help people, for the right price. He despises knights and paladins, people who think they have some great nature or purpose.

Origin Info/Details (don't be blunt, be as thorough as possible): Brought up in Germany for the first years, his ‘clan’ travelled around Europe and Asia. Hunting dragons from a very early age, he quickly progressed, excelling in bringing down the huge scaled beasts. The clan instils the idea of working alone and being independent, not building family values, but independent strength, thus resulting in self obsession for ‘career’ and self preservation, survival of the fittest. One of the few in the tribe who could take them down single handed since his late teens. In Korea, they came across a threat that managed to rip it’s way through most of the tribe. Eventually, the beast was overcame, but the clan was reduced to only a handful, just less than half of the orignal amount.
Travelling back across Europe continuing the hunt, he became more enveloped by it, becoming more capable with each hunt. By his mid-twenties he was one of four, but far superior to the others in ability. The other three tried to take on a beast in England, yet failed miserably, being devoured. However, the last dragon hunter of the tribe made light work of him. His entire life shaped around felling these creatures.
Travelling across the world, he had virtually no human contact of any note. Learning many languages to help him locate other dragons, he’s now about 30 and searching the world for more of these foul creatures.

Attributes (Select one from each category) (some races are greater or weaker than a human in specific categories and will be noted below or in the racial traits section of the OOC thread):

Strength Level: Peak

Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Peak Human

Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort/Durability: Peak Human

Agility: Peak Human
Intelligence: Super-Genius in terms of strategy and tactics etc, and tracking methods etc, but slightly above average in most other respects etc.

Fighting Skill: Mastered in felling dragons etc, and thus other big creatures. His ability against humanoids is not mastered, as he rarely fights against them, not knowing any martial arts etc.

Resources: Average- he does have great armour and weapons, but in terms of drawing from other people or alliances or anything, he has none.

Notable Equipment:
Scalemail of winged beasts- a lightweight armour made from many dragons scales, providing protection from almost all types of dragon-breath, and obviously fire etc. Due to it’s source, it is also very tough and almost impenetrable.
Fangblade- Carved from a fang from the toughest dragon he has ever encountered. It’s a short sword sized weapon and it extremely sharp and durable.
Veinseeker- A short sword sized blade, magically enchanted to remain ever sharp and able to penetrate anything. It acts as an anticoagulant against dragons, accelerating their bleeding.
Robe of hunting- A robe that magically limit’s a dragons perception, distorting the image of the wearer to dragons.
Dragonblood- The blood from dragons, providing accelerated healing and endurance, peaking the abilities of the drinker for a limited time. Lethal to most who ingest it, the tribe has evolved into being able to digest it and intake the bonus’. The constant use of this for decades has left his overall traits heightened, but he does now thirst for the blood, like an addiction.

Weaknesses (If your character has any specific weakness, such as a vampire's weakness to sunlight (among other things) or a Faerie's weakness to iron, list them here): A human, and suffers from a thirst for dragon’s blood.

Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? A Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?): None.

Describe using proper English grammar what you think you can bring to the RPG: A character who is edgy and a social misfit, making interaction very interesting. He is quite a unique character, and over the last year I like to think I’ve gained a reputation as a good RP’er and can make a go of this one. I have an extensive knowledge of fantasy worlds etc, used to play D&D and play Magic quite pretty much daily, not to mention many other board games and Games Workshop based games etc.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: Often enough to not get withdrawn from the RPG J .

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards: Sure.

Sample Post (Minimum Four decent-sized paragraphs containing dialogue):


The beast careered through the sky, swooping down and letting loose a torrent of fire that scorched the earth. Once the flames cleared, amongst the blackened ground stood Kamahl.

A thunder of shaking soil erupted as the scaled monster landed. Towering above this man, massive immense, the reptilian creature’s image alone struck terror into the heart of many, yet somehow the monster failed to have the upper hand.

Gargantuan claw struck, missing the warrior by mere inches as he leapt to one side, tearing through the scales as if it was warm butter. The glimmering blade trickling with freshly spilled blood as an arm poured forth gallons of vital fluid.

Rolling away from a second attack, the softer underbelly now in front of Sky-cutter, providing little resistance to an upwards lunge, releasing a river of liquid spewing forth from the wound. A roar of pain sent fire licking upwards to the clouds as agony surged through the dragon.

Writhing around, the colossus felt life slipping away. Kamahl stood and watched every last ounce of strength disappear from it until it was a lifeless object, steeped amongst the soaked earth. Clouds breaking and shedding rain across the now still battlefield.

“And so the sky itself weeps for the loss of it’s kin.”

But be warned, even though I'm a benevolent wyrm, I will not hesitate to slay you if you come to me looking for trouble.
