Final Fantasy Hacktics

A free form RP based vaguely on FFT's world as time goes on.

RULES:
1) This is NOT D&D.  There are no numbers, no jobs, no stats, no saves, and no dice.  You are free to post whatever as long as it makes sense within your character and the world around you.  Creativity will be rewarded.  If there are disagreements, the OOC (Out of Context) thread will be used to resolve them.

2) Work with your fellow RPers.  Remember, it is everyone's responsibility to create and advance the plot.  Yes, the original poster will be RPing in this story along with the rest of you, but remember that he is NOT the Dungeon Master.  He's simply the first person to start the plot.

3) No perfect characters.  Just because there are no dice rolls does not mean you are allowed to have perfect characters in any given skill.  In particular, be mature and reasonable about combat.  Your character will probably take damage and the good RPer is the one who accurately portrays this, not the person who pretends his unit simply slogs through it the way one would in most RPGs.  Of course, heroism and miraculous events can occur, but they don't happen ALL the time.
Similarly, no invincible characters.  This includes "mortal" units with infinite revival abilities, and the creation of alternate characters for the sole purpose of reviving a previous character.  (The only time this rule can be relaxed is when someone plays as the antagonist, but only to the degree of advancing the plot and keeping the other players interested.)
If people fear combat is too freeform, they may post OOC descriptions of their characters and relevant skills for record keeping, but people who do this are expected to be bound by what they post (such a thread will be locked by FDC to stop unscrupulous editing after the fact).  Nor should such lists be mandatory (except for people who serially violate this rule).

4) No god modding unless:
a) Someone repeatedly violates Rule #3 and is ruining the RP for everyone else.  After a successful group vote, such a character's actions can be nullified by other posters (up to the point of killing the offending character) as long as an OOC warning is posted beforehand (with ample time to respond).  If the drama escalates beyond this, FDC will take action.
b) Someone left the RP and no one wants to kill their character off.  But even then, you may not deliberately cause harm to that character and must conduct conversations in character

5) You are not a pretty and unique snowflake: don't RP as Cloud, Ramza, a WoW Death Knight, etc.  In other words, try to make your character reasonably original.

6) Have fun.  For heaven's sake, please DON'T adopt the mentality of a RPG stat min/maxer when playing because really, there's NOTHING to optimize other than your ability to write a story with others while having fun.

7.) Multiple Characters are allowed but, you can't Control the character of any other RP player but yourself.

Name: Mira
Gender: Female
Age: 13 (which is like f*cking 26 in medieval years!!!! Kidding)
Class: Contractor (Summoner / White Mage (no Raise))
Weapon: Rune Sword (not the one from the game)
Armor: Wizard Set (Wizard hat + Wizard robes + mage cape)
Backstory: As all contractors must, she is sent on a journey with a bodyguard in order to practice her magical prowess. Anima Pact is a rare art which requires a high raw talent in the arcane ways. It is on this journey that contractors eventually make pacts with eiodolons and become one of the strongest forces in the world--and more important--this journey is when summoners decide what they intend to do with the immense raw power at their command.

Name: Leon
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Class: Blademaster (Knight / Samurai)
Weapon: Any one of his dozens of swords.
Armor: Mythril Heavy Armor
Backstory: A man without a tongue and multiple scars across his body. He is tasked with protecting the contractor-in-training, Mira. The reason behind this task and fervor in doing so is unknown.

two? or are you going to pick one?

Hey taichii, it seems me (and Luna?) want to play 2 characters. Would it be possible if we call a vote upon such a matter?

Considering that when I led this roleplay on another forum, I used at least 3 main characters and made a host of NPCs, I don't think having multiple characters should be a problem provided no one violates the other rules about multiple characters being used as invincible life support.

Furthermore, multiple characters makes it easy for people who want to enter a RP after it starts.  If you have a character you can spare, that new entry automatically then gets a person to play as.

Wouldn't it be more balanced if we are only playing one character at a time? :)
FDC, what's your thought on this? :)

ST4R, you and luna can be a team also :)
you can play as Leon if you still don't have a character yet or better, your idea LOL

EDIT: okay then :))
two characters can be put to play now :))
as for me.. i'll use this one (taichii) and (rai) later :D

EDIT again: XD i forgot that you also played the brother LOL sorry sixe :))

might want to edit your post a tad.
And thank you for allowing it!

done and added to rule no. 7 :)
one more~~ XD

Actually, I think it best if me and st4r's characters made that decision rather than us.

yes yes i understand luna :)
sorry XD

Anyways, do we have enough to begin?

We have 4 people, but we have 6 characters.  It's Taichii's call, but I'm ready to write in any case.

Clayton
Male
Human
25ish

Job: Illusionist/Illusion Arts

Major Tactics:
Camouflage: Blend into your surrounding. The higher your perception of the envirnoment, the more effective Camouflage is. Movement causes blurring.

Debalance: Sensation illusion throws off the target's balance. Must be touching.
Numbness: Target cannot feel pain. Useful for poisoning the target. Must be touching.
Image: Create an mirror image of oneself. Watch for lighting.
Flurry: Creates mirror images of your attack, making it difficult to avoid.
Wound: Adds extra pain and creates the illusion of worse wound. Must of touching.
Communicate: Communicates with allies via illusions.


Secondary: Toxic Arts
The identification, creation and application of poisons. Methods of application include gas smoke bombs, injection, food and water poisoning, coating weapons with poison and splashing poisons on fresh wounds. Poisons must be mixed with it's method of application before use except for poison splashing. Mixing takes up one turn.

Major Tactics:
Gas Bomb: Throw a bomb that throws out a lingering poison gas cloud.
Injection: Uses a syringe to directly inject poison into a target
Poison Coat: Coats weapon with poison
Poison Splash: If target is wounded, splash poison onto their wounds.

Innates:
Poison Resistance: Unit is resistant to poison.

Appearance: TBA

Background: Clayton was a illegitimate child of a powerful family of assassins specializing in poison. His father had eloped with a commoner, which was strictly forbidden and was hunted down and killed. A newborn Clayton was only spared because the family desperately needed a heir. Unfortunately, his mother's blood diluted his poison assassin abilities, specifically, his poison resistance is low compared to his family. However, he in exchange, picked up a talent for the Illusion Arts.

One day, his family home was attacked by a rival family and was wiped out. Clayton was nearly killed himself, but managed to fool the rival family into believing he is currently dead. He is now in hiding, taking jobs as an assassin/spy, and plotting revenge against his family's killers.

Name: Anita Scythryn Zainthrony
Aka: Needa (self-referral)
Birth Name: Unknown
Role: Ranged Caster
Class: ...
Race: Human...?
Age: 12...?
Gender: Female
Height: 4' 2"
Weight: 67 lb
Eyes: Slate (left) Obsidian (right)
Hair: Sable
Skin: Deathly Pale
Appearance: Wears white clerical vestments with yellow and gold trimmings. Proudly displays a sizable silver cross as a pendant. Hair falls loosely past shoulder blades, though she ties off a small ponytail high on the left side of her head, often adorned with a flower. Uses a set of manacles as a belt, off which several daggers of various types hang sheathed, as well as much of her supplies. Carries a stuffed panda in her arms. Strapped to her back is a large, well-crafted scythe with intricate runes covering its blade.
Personality: Extremely hyper emotional. She is well aware of the fact that she can appear cute and helpless and has no qualms about using that to her advantage in or out of battle.
Backstory: Anita was born in Ithanburg, a small town largely ignored by much of the kingdom. It was here that several practitioners of the darker arts found refuge and their continual studies and rituals saturated the area with an almost palpable aura. Anita's mother's bloodline was particularly sensitive to magic so the girl was born steeped in demonic energies.
When she was about three or four, one of the young mages lost control of their spells and the town found itself under siege by undead forces. By the time the military arrived, the town was lost. Strangely, Anita was the lone survivor. She latched onto the general, calling him "Mama," which confused him greatly, but he did not correct her. He immediately sensed something in her.
As a powerful mage himself, the general soon theorized why Anita had been spared; the young girl emitted an aura of black magic that the mindless creatures mistook for being one of their own. He believed her to be a powerful source of dark energies and wanted to use it himself. He began to study ancient spells and rituals that would transfer her power into him.
Anita tolerated being subjected to the experiments and rituals because in her eyes, he was still the man who had saved her and now took care of her. She was actually happy to be able to assist her precious Mama.
The spells twisted her mind and turned one of her eyes black, but the worst side effect would not be noticeable until years later.
The general was partially successful in tapping some of Anita's potential, but found even he could not handle taking it all. He learned that he could only use her power if she was within a certain range, so he started bringing her along, as a portable battery of sorts. She was thrilled.
However, fortune did not favor the general and not long after, he fell in battle. His infamous scythe that had cut down countless foes would never slay again, for with his dying breath he gave it a new purpose.
The soldiers of the opposing force thought they were rescuing a helpless girl, but she refused to leave her Mama's side. A man who was used to dealing with children hefted her onto his shoulders despite her protests and the group made their way back to camp. They never could, however, pry the scythe out of the girl's death grip.
She made her escape one night and has wandered ever since. Occasionally, the loneliness will win over and she will find a group of travelers to attach herself to. She will designate one of them as "Mama" and begin worming her way into their hearts. She may stay with a group a year, two, or even three, but always leaves before they notice anything strange. Often, she fakes her own death so as to avoid the group searching for her later.
She has lived a beggar and has limited ability to live off the land, but she ultimately prefers the company of others whenever possible.
At one point, she was found by a group of bandits who used her cuteness as a lure for travelers along the road. When people stopped to question why a girl her age was out alone on the road, the bandits would strike. Life was good for several years until a local militia stumbled across the bandit hideout. Anita wanted to help her friends, but lacked combat skills. Her frustration grew and suddenly, tendrils of condensed dark magic sprung up across the battlefield. The chilling tentacles quickly surrounded, attacked and entangled anyone in reach and caused heavy losses on both sides. Terrified, Anita fled back into the wilderness.
In the years since, she has learned to harness the dark energies within her. She is still learning, but she becomes more proficient the more she uses her magicks. Whenever she learns some new ability, she hones it, tweaks it and makes it her own, leaving her with a rather unique set. These powers give her a sense of pride because she knows she can be of use to parties she joins now, instead of simply freeloading.
So now, the loneliness has driven her, once again, to seek out a new Mama...

thank you for joining Ryqoshay and Dokurider :)

so would each NPC then take a portion of the plot and rp that out, depending on time and stuff I might work out my empath and use it to solidify ideas before I transition it to 3.5 dnd.  PM me or post the message here, fdc mentioned it in chat briefly and it seems like a solid idea, but ya'lls call.

XD mind my slow brain for the matter Xd but i misunderstood some of your messages XD
anyway.. disregard everything that i said except that Characters definitely has diff. stories but will eventually meet up in the middle.. they can meet anyone in the character list but they should also follow the main plot.. and also.. ask FDC for more info as he is the original maker of this RP XD we just changed the characters except FDC and me i think but we will be adding new things XD thank you.. i hope you can join the RP XD

That is what usually happens, since it is definitely more fun that way (and the story usually tries to link the causes behind everyone's trouble, giving reason for a common cause), but the characters needn't "meet up" permanently since it's very possible for someone to RP as an antagonist or the occasional traveler who flits in and out of the "group" while influencing the world through their solitary actions.  However, I do discourage people from taking long extended sidequests unless they can involve more than just themselves.

did it start? http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8332.0

FDC, you forgot to post your character sheet.

you don't have to post your character.
or make a character sheet.

...then how will we know anything about these characters? I.E. How they look?

Well. You can describe it in game.

Updated my character sheets to now have 9000% MORE PICTURES
PICTURES HERE AND THERE
OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAND PICTURES

interesting way of counting there, 0... 1... 9001!

hohohoho :)
FDC, that's right :))

st4r .. yep it started and i think its your turn to post. :))

I'm going to hop in in a better place and time, if that is okay

okay okay :))

Good God Ryqo: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8332.msg165102#msg165102
I can't wait to read it.

The reason why I didn't immediately post a character sheet is because I actually misremembered which RP this was until Taichii made the first post.  This meant that I actually didn't know who I was going to use until I made the post.

Kanth
Male Human (Black Wavy Hair cut at oblique angles, Blue Eyes)
16
Geomancer
Bone Knife
Linen Clothes
Kanth comes from a family of geomancers who travel Ivalice with their animal pets in their study of nature.  Their fanaticism to the Earth causes them to be unwelcome in most parts of civilization as they regard most magical artifacts as well as the organizations that control them as abominations to be destroyed.  These beliefs, however, didn't stop Kanth from leaving his older sister (and caretaker) to travel alone, if only to escape her nagging.

Moon
Male Wolf (Brown Eyes, Mostly Silver Fur)
5
Moon is Kanth's loyal pet, hunting partner, and sentry.  Despite his lupine form, he's usually fairly subdued, rarely picking fights with humans except on orders.  Of course, this is little comfort to the local wildlife or the occasional bandit, who rarely escape the duo.

Name: Charon
Role: Anita's Guardian
Class: ...
Race: Sentient Scythe
Age: ...?
Gender: Male...?
Height: 5'
Weight: 10 lb
Eyes: ...
Hair: ...
Skin: ...
Appearance: Ornately crafted scythe. Intricate runes cover its blade. Those attuned to auras would notice a dark one focused around said runes.
Personality: Mechanical and monotone, though intelligent and wise. Takes duty of protecting charge seriously and does all in its power to do so.
Backstory: Charon was originally forged and enchanted for General Zachary Zavier Zainthrony. The general earned the moniker Reaper of Souls as his skills in wielding Charon felled uncountable enemies. However, the general's martial prowess paled in comparison to his arcane dominance. After saving Anita from Ithanburg, the general attempted to tap her powers. What many did not know, was that at some level, he did come to care for her as a daughter. It was for this reason, that when he finally fell in battle, he told Charon to look after her for him. Charon agreed. It has since done its best to ensure Anita's wellbeing, be it by healing her wounds, instilling fear in her foes or simply offering information and advice. Whether it truly cares for its charge or if it is simply an effect of its complex enchantments is anyone's guess.

How does this look?

I am working on making a easy to read and understandable way to post my turns, feedback is nice.

((Please tell me how this post looks in the OOC topic. I want to find a nice easy to read and understandable way to post my turn. The beige " are Cipher. The Pink ones " are Mother))

One of the best ways I have found to indicate different people speaking is to use new paragraphs, as has been the trend in literature for centuries.
For example:

  "...and so Tyr stuck his sword hand within Fenrir's mouth." The knight prattled on. "Taking Tyr's hand, Fenrir allowed himself to be bound by chains to keep him from growing any larger. At least until-"
  "I think that shall do dear," the woman interrupted as politely as possible. "I have heard that story too many times."
  "My apologies Mother." Cipher replied. "I could play you a song in place."
  "No need, child." She stopped in her tracks, and soon after, the knight did as well.
  The dirt road stretched far ahead into what seemed to be never ending wall of green and brown.
  "Beautiful... But, I hate it." She concluded after a moment.
  "We have been at this for hours, Madam."
  "This, yes, I know." she says with a sigh. "Nothing new to me. I just dislike being outside of civilization for such periods of time, it drives me nuts."
  Silence fell upon the two. They traveled onward without speaking another word, until a growl killed the silence. Startled, Mother turned toward the sound, only to see a friendly figure.
  "Breakfast?" he asked with a sheepish grin.
  "No....." Mother sighed. "Cipher... What have I told you, time, and time again...?"
  The blank look upon the knight's face said it all.
  "Cipher.... What am I going to do with you?"
  Another growl was heard.
  "If possible madam, that could be good option." he said, hopefully.
  Mother sighed yet again. "Right, I guess we can do that."
  The two walked off the road, and sat under a tree. Mother unzipped the pack on her side, and rummaged through it. Seven apples, a sausage, a loaf of bread, and some water. Reaching in, Mother pulled out two apples and passed them to the knight. She then claimed one for herself. The two sat, eating their food in silence; the horrible silence.

Ha! You mean to correct way to do it?
Thank you for your help, it is always appreciated Ryqo.

Editing post soon.

I merely provide an example. Do with it as you do so desire.

oh I will. thank you again.

XD was about to edit XD until i saw ryqo already answered XDD
hahah yup yup this way is better :D
and maybe the narrative parts should be the one with the bold? :)

mmm. I'll see how it looks. Thanks for the idea.

correct me if im wrong XD
but this is what's happening right? :D


(sorry for the lame quickdraw LOL)

Red = Taichii = passed out near a log
White = FDC = protecting himself against the bodyguard...
Yellow = Luna = Engaging a battle with FDC
Pink = Ryqoshay = sleeping above a tree
Orange = St4rw4lk3r = having a picnic
? = Dokurider = not yet in the map


:D

Holy shit man you map is freaking huge. I could print it out and make it into a poster.
The placement looks fine to me, size not fine.
Also last I check my name wasn't that...

okay the post now has 3 versions on it.

• The original bad one.


• The one helped by Ryqo, I edited it.


• The one Taichii gave as an idea.


• And Then the second one with colour added.

Oh yeah... that...
I can work with it, though I'm personally more of a Purple girl, myself. Well, white and purple, really. Or black and purple, depending on the situation.
Also, not that it matters much, but Anita likes yellow and white. Or gold and silver. Or or and argent... Or whatever...

your avatar also has pink hair

OH GOD THIS IS MY FIRST TIME RP'ING I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M

Dokorider nice turn! I'm not sure to believe if what you just said is true or not. Only thing I see wrong is that you played someone elses character for a tad, but I donno thats just me.

Anyway, hurry up and Finish it! It was getting good!

i tought it was the pin hair on the avatar but okay i'll revise it to PURPLE XD
okay XD time to read dokurider's post XD
will epdate asap XD

-EDIT:
okay i finished reading..
well.. dokurider's post really made me smile :"> aww XD
hahaha but dokurider, you shouldn't control a player's character.. such as mine..
you can put on attacks and battle tactics though :)
please refrain from doing it again :D
thank you

anyway...
since i plan to follow your post.. then i will use some of your idea. :)

Actually, as far as my eyes are concerned, the color you used on the map for my token looks like a shade of purple... but that very well could be my monitor or my eyes, who knows. As for my avatar, I found that somewhere, years back, and thought it was too adorable to pass up. Of course the fact that my character, Ryqoshay, shares a given name with the character in that gif, well, it just clicked. Though in all honesty, you could use lime green for my token, and while I would probably whine about it, it would all in in jest in the end.
I do have a question or two concerning the map, however. First, and foremost, is there a legend or key we can follow to discern what the different colors are? I believe I can safely assume the blue is water and the green is trees/grass/plants/etc. I also believe the darkened areas are the burn zone and the grey is the road. However, the yellow confuses me a bit. Secondly, I see a lake, but not a creek. Did I miss it? I can adjust my post if need be to have Anita bathe in a lake.
This may be nitpicking, but it's how my mind works and I make no apologies.

Addendum: Is that PvP I see right there on the first page of the adventure?

a lake is more better :D
and a more common place to bathe LOL (well at least in my country XD)
wait what?
oh i forgot you bathe in the lake O_O
i am just finishing my post and wew.. i sipped from the lake. LOL
okay XD
time to finish it XD

about the yellow/brown.. they are mini-hills :D the darkbrown part is mud. :D
in the next map update i will post a legend XD

how does i did pvp?

a thing about pvps...
you can post your attacks on a character and wait for them to respond.. vise versa :)

wrong form

Quotetaichii swinged his scythe and beheads formerdeathcorps... he then took his blade and stabs him at the lower abdomen, piercing his strong armor".

correct form..

Quoteas taichii swings his scythe towards formerdeathcorps head.. he grasps his blade and aims to stab formerdeathcorps' lower abdomen.

Addendum: Is that PvP I see right there on the first page of the adventure?

:)) i wouldnt call it pvp because i didn't react at my own will.. i followed his post :))
anyway.. let's see what happens next. :D

Yeah, dokurider, make sure never to make an action for another character unless it's a forced action. (I.E. They can't dodge a bullet, and bullets f*cking hurt. Thus, they would have been paralyzed in pain for a few seconds.)
Also FDC, just a warning, Leon gets pissed very easily. XD

What did I do? First post: Anita killed some thugs who wished to sell her. Second post: Anita turned herself invisible so she can observe the fight unseen.
As for use of the return button, while I may or may not use it enough, or too much in normal forum posts, for narrative posts, I do attempt to write in such a form that one may typically see in a book. I type all narrative posts in MS word in an attempt to correct grammar and spelling before posting. This is where the slanted "" and the indents come from. If the "" are not slanted and there are spelling errors, I likely typed the post on my phone at work and will seek to correct it upon returning home.
If it will help, I can start hitting retun twice instead of just once when I begin a new paragraph.

Twice would be good, thank you. :P
Blocks of text are scary scary things.

XD and proof reading also~

I are confused... Anita bathed in a creek, then someone posted a map showing a lake. Next, someone posted about said lake. Now we have a river and a lake... What body of water are we dealing with?
(I warned I would nitpick)

Also, Anita snores? I didn't know that... Perhaps to vampiric hearing, gentle breathing across a lake sounds like snoring. In addition, vampiric sight must be pretty good to see 'the kid' through all the branches and leaves and with her curled into a ball of feathers like a giant bird. Also, vampiric sight can see invisibility. Fun.

XD oh im sorry XD i will edit my post wait wait XD
the vampiric sight part :D
and the RIVER will be the LAKE.

I'm not complaining about the vamp sight, for the record, just making sure I understand. Anita can see invisible things as well as in complete darkness... when she remembers to cast it that is...

okay got it :)
dokurider is online now and we will collaborate about the next move :)

I've decided to start using Leon's POV for future posts.

My two chars.:

"Slime"
?
Liquid crystal entity (magmoid)
Newborn
?

Firkon
Male
Human
15
Geomancer in training

got it luna :)
boss lijj XD thanks for joining :))

A slime. This'll be funny.

heheh.
Thanks for the welcome Taichii.

I want Firkon to start in a village that isn't really known to anyone other than the tax collecters of Limberry. The farming and logging community is located SE of Aruguay Woods. It's close to the border of Lionel and Lesalia but off the beaten path and very small, only three or four families big.

okay lijj XDD
i will update araguay's "map" xDD
BRB

EDIT: okay finished updating the huge map of araguay LOL XD

okay I like the map
But last I check my name read ST4RW4K3R
No Ls, jus' sayin'

hahaha sorry st4r XD
its hard to type your name XD will reedit your name in the next update :))

I one to add up my character..
She has two appearances one will be her Human form here's the pic based on Samurai Warriors
(http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/101/1010905/samurai-warriors-3-20090805100509914_640w.jpg)

And Here's here Morph Form Based on Shadow Hearts 2
(http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-07/art/sh2-kurando-inugami-tsukiyomi.jpg)

Her name is Anemone, She one of the heir of their family that can be able to Morph an ancient creature. She acquired her family Morph Guardian
Miteras before she turned 16..
She can a Black Magic User.., was in search of Black Magic Arts to strengthen her powers and Perform her Morphing power to discover its abilities :)

hello pam XD i mean gintails.. and welcome to the Rp desperation, my friend XD
hohoho..
rock and roll XD

Can other people hear Charon, Ryqo?

I will use Italic to denote Anita and Charon's thoughts as they can communicate telepathically. Charon is capable of audible speech as well, when necessary.

Addendum: Fixed spelling of chloroform... I wish my phone had proper spellcheck... >.<  I also added a line. I am quite confident that both Taichii and Clayton are strong willed enough to be unaffected by Charon's fear, but that will not stop it from trying.

Can it move on it's own? Like say, fly at me if I tried to approach Anita?

Being an illusionist, I would know when someone was trying to induce fear in me via magic.

I have no doubt Clayton will be aware of any magical attempt to cause him fear, and I would not be surprised if he is more than able to resist it. Charon does not know this, and will undoubtedly still attempt to scare off those it deems as a threat to Anita. However, as it has stated, it has been a long day, and its magical reserves are low. It does not have enough to heal, but it may be able to get off a fear or two, however ineffectual. As for movement... what does Xellos always say? "Sore wa himitsu desu."  ^_^
("Now that, is a secret." for those preferring the dubbed version.)

goodmorning guys :D
it's nearly 6 am here in Philippines and i will attend a Cosplay convention later so i might post when i get home :)
i still have 4 hours before i leave so please do comment on my battle tactics for pvp :)
i learned it from imvu. LOL

anyway... gintails are you also coming later? LOL

A point for pvp tactics... always think 2 steps ahead :D

Two steps? Why stop there? ^_^

Question: How is Taichii able to hold the scythe as a weapon while it is in wolf form on the opposite side of Clayton?

because i'm handsome. LOL XD just kidding.. anyway..
if you assume too much, you may have underestimated your opponent and that will get you relaxed..
its taboo for killers to underestimate you're opponent XD
planning takes time, and is step by step. but being not too far away from the steps might prolong your life.
CAUTION :D

Uhm... OK?
So... the scythe broke off a piece of itself that became the wolf, thus leaving its main portion in Taichii's hands to still be used as a weapon? I are confused...

Also, who have I underestimated? As far as I know Anita is not fighting any opponent at the moment.

Answer:

Taichii has two weapons.. the scythe and the blade...
the scythe turns itself into a dark phoenix.
the blade turns into a great red wolf.


the blade is in wolf form so i can slash clayton with my scythe
:))) the scythe is still in one piece LOL XD

Taichii seems to assume things a lot

I re-read the post and realized I misread it. I appologize and thus blame the mad cow.

Though Anita is still not opppsing anyone... yet...

its okay XD and will wait for your post soon XD hahaha
i still have 2 hours until i take a bath and leave the house XD

But is all that planning in character?  I mean, you're RPing as a kid with limited military experience.  Even if you assume he was following his father's lessons, how likely would it be for him to do it all perfectly against a trained opponent, especially when your character clearly is just discovering the magical secrets behind his weapons?

I know the feeling.  You see a really good maneuver that can quickly end the match.  But just because you, the RPer, sees it, doesn't mean your character must.  For example, in Raven's RP, I had a bold idea that could have easily ended a mission in the snow by compacting two enemy fighter robots together with a tight crunch, but it was something Setch, a careful gunner, would not have considered.

FDC is correct.

The person Taichii is currently fighting is a very well trained person, and Taichii is nothing compared to him. Taichii might have 2 blades, and magically powers, but he is still learning. He doesn't know fighting outside of what he was taught by his late father, and this magic is new to him. Although you might know all about this kid and his special powers, he needs time to grow into them, and learn about what they do, how to control them and such.

We have a nice example somewhere of people doing that somewhere. I'll pm you the topic when I find it, if I do.

sixe, yes.

and also...not a kid... but a teenager XD

and i wouldn't say that i would do it perfectly.. again.. Taichii "assumed" :)
and about that new skill...
at my second post at the rp thread, he read about the skills, and of course,
how will you train the skills?
by using them of course right? :)

The point, now that your blade is a wolf, you can't parry very well anymore, can you?

please do tell me if the post doesn't look overpowered now. :)
i re-edited some of the "planning" part (added : that's unusual)

and removed all the assuming part.

I will be taking control of this new NPC. I know she sort of came out of nowhere, but please be nice to her.

okkkay got it XD
i almost thought it was anita..
good thing you posted here :))
anyway...

the event that i will be attending was postponed.
i will be going on that event tomorrow.
so i will be able to go online later :D
but i will go to sleep after i post a reply at the rp thread:)
will be back in 5-6 hours LOL

This seems interesting i would like to join as soon as possible.

Make a character in your head, and hop on here:

Well i posted in the desperation --- roleplays of pairs i was thinking which outline to use and it didnt take long

Remember what Mr. Hallorann said. It's just like pictures in a book, Danny. It isn't real.

HAH! XDD
COME PLAY WITH US DANNY HAHAHAHHA XD
im liking the plot XD

and anyway.. welcome at desperation dark shade :D

Guys, chill out. We can't let the time warp get too out of hand. Give other players a chance to post, even if this slows down the rp as a whole.

Protip Taichii: Curing phobias is not an overnight process. She has a lifetime of wolf related trauma. I suggest not trying to push it any further.

phobia? i thought she was petrified because you molested her LOL.
okay.. since she got afraid of the wolf.. then the wolf shall save her..

i hope "anita" listens to "taichii" though.

anyway.. will go at the convention later.. will post again when i get back after 12 or 14 hours :D
that should give time to other RPers  so the time warp can be fixed :D
will update a map. BRB.

EDIT: okay updated the map.

okay lijj XDD
i will update araguay's "map" xDD
BRB

EDIT: okay finished updating the huge map of araguay LOL XD









okay.. correct me if i'm wrong :))
are FDC and Luna's coordinates correct? or should i make another lake near zerikyle but far from the northern forest, or are you both at the border of zerikyle and araguay?
dorter's to the left and zerikyle's to the right.

Lijj entered the goblin area as Darkshade passed through.

dokurider and ST4RW4LK3R are heading to dorter but in a different path.

Me and ryqoshay... northern side at north east of the lake.

I cannot find myself on this map

Edit: nvm somehow i saw an outdated map glad i refreshed the page

i uploaded the wrong pic XD
okay.. you're on the far right..  northeast of the location of lijj..

okay just wanted you to know that.

I call foul on Taichii deducing she is speaking backwards. It's easy enough to figure out on text, but spoken? Yeah, right. BTW, the woman just ran into the forest. I just not posting anything until your fight gets resolved.

Addendum:

Quote from: Taichii on January 22, 2012, 01:32:05 pm
Even though his pulling force was weak, the sharp end of the stiletto slashed the skin of Taichii's chest.
Crimson Red Rose howls as drips of blood came out from Taichii's chest.

I should point out here that Anita's blades do not cut flesh. The spell deals direct damage to its target when it absorbs into whatever it hits, or hits it.  The daggers and scythes are merely the forms she directs the magicks to take. This is why the wolf took damage when it stopped the last shot. I am fine with Taichii moving fast enough to intercept the shot, but he will take more damage than a mere scratch.

Then I suppose I should post something to the effect of 'She fled into the forest' then, although you should react to Taichii's damage first, if you are going to, anyways.

Not exactly the "fled into the forest" post I was expecting, but I can work with it.
In any case, it would appear others are closing in on us, so I shall delay my next post until they get a chance to act.

LOL i think im a bit slow :)))

No I just jumped the shit outta you. Don't feel bad.

Hey FDC, what exactly is a magical artifact? Are they like the Chaos Sword and the Javelin II? What about magical things I can buy, like Angel Rings?

Sorry, I'm bored at work, and it's been almost 48 hours... I'm posting. ^_^

When Anita teleported from the gas attack, did she like leave a body double in place or is more like an afterimage?

mornin guys :) will post after i jog then practice tai chi :3
LOL i shall also wait for FDC and luna :D
let's eat break fast

Tangible, reactionary, illusion.

Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, everyone thinks they can beat my gas via sneezing. You do have to inhale before you sneeze, you know.

the wolf is big and uhh.. the night is windy, the cloud wont last forever. :p
what caused the sneezing? it inhaled it ofcourse :)
the wolf sneezed right? :)

It's windy. Deep inside a forest. Right.

It won't persist forever, but I did just detonate it not just a few moments ago, so even if it was windy, it hasn't gone very far. Oh and I threw slightly against the wind so that it blow over the body, ensuring maximum time.

When it inhaled, it's lungs absorbed the chloroform into it's blood. In fact, sneezing ensures that the target gets a nice deep breath of the gas before it exhales it out. So sneezing only ensures it got a nice big dose of the stuff.

I will grant that it's bigness and magicalness will not produce a KO, but it did not get away scot free.

Quote from: Dokurider on January 24, 2012, 03:52:57 am
It's windy. Deep inside a forest. Right.

uhh.. yes it is :)
and uhh look at the map :D

did your gas cloud consume a large area? the amount used will be expanded once released right? even if it did cover a large area, good thing it fits in that ball thingy. LOL

anyway about the choloroform :D The wolf's original form is a blade. It just materialized into a great wolf form. It has all enhanced physical aspects inside and out.
But wont die ofcourse. it'll just revert to being a blade form. :)
Your Chloroform i presume is for humans and beasts right? since you're planning to catch me and just in case.
But the wolf is not just a beast right? :D

Yes a big dense forest like the one on your map tends to prevent winds from directly going through it.

Like I said. It's bigness and magical-ness prevents a insta KO, but it's performance was effected by it.

OwO in my province, even when deep within the forest, there's still a cool breeze of wind.
and anyway, we're still near the lake which is and open area.

yes it is certainly affected :DD that's why it isn't fighting anymore as of the moment LOL XD

Fine, but I still just threw it a few seconds ago. And I threw it against the wind.

XD

Hey Taichii, when will you make another map? I would like to know where everyone is so I can post again.

EDIT: it seems that i have mad a mistake at placing darkshade XD
will update map. again XD

EDIT: DONE :]

Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, everyone thinks they can beat my gas via sneezing. You do have to inhale before you sneeze, you know.

Who says the sneeze is what is defeating the gas? The gas could be acting as an irritant and causing the sneezes, but that does not mean it is the sole reason it is lacking an effect on the individual. Clayton is immune to it, so is his bloodline. Is it truly unimaginable that there or other resistant beings out in the world? The wolf is a magical beast transformed from a blade, why does it have to obey the same laws when it comes to mundane chemicals. The rule of "It's Magic!" is very much at play here. Short of lit napalm, I see no reason any mundane chemical should have an effect on a magically summoned beast. Now if the chloroform is enchanted, then we have a different situation, but as of yet, this has not been stated.

As for Anita... well... do not assume, as a player, that she is by any means, a normal human. Your characters may assume as they see fit with the data presented to them.

I don't think we need to rely too heavily on the maps. This is free-form RP, not a tabletop grid. As I see it, it is there for reference and reference alone.  Thus, if you want him there, and it makes sense for him to be there, have him be there. We've certainly been fighting long enough for others to happen by.

Hey guys i got to redo my post somehow open office deleted and rearrange my text. i got microsoft word today finally.

Sorry guys, I lost my charger... back! XD

welcome back luna :)
hohoho glad to hear from you again. FDC maybe stuck in school work :))
we hope you could post again at the rp forum soon :))


and also XD
sorry if i have any grammar mistake XD
im not an american :)) and my english isn't perfect :)))
so please bear with me XD my english is limited :))

For the record, Doku, Anita did not teleport across the lake. She teleported out of the cloud, on the side opposite the lake. In other words, she put the cloud between her and the lake. She and her image then took turns making their way around the spreading cloud so as to end up between the lake and the cloud.

Addendum: I realize I had the words "the" and "lake" in the wrong order when I meant to have "opposite the lake" in my original post. I have since corrected this error.

 :?

The side opposite of, across from. I don't see the difference.

There is not much difference between opposite of and across from. But that isn't the case here. The issue is what was crossed or put opposite. I tried to convey gas cloud and you read lake. I am not looking to assign blame, merely correct an error in communication.

My point, is that Anita is still located quite near Claton and Taichii. Ironic, since I recently made a comment about not relying to heavily on maps, but this would be an issue best resolved by using one.

OOC: If he's not here by the end of today, I'm going to assume I instead chose to go the other way and continue to Zirekile Falls, which will essentially mean I'd be looking at the falls right now.

"He?" Meaning... FDC?

Yes.

Okay, I looked at the map again and I see why I'm messing up. I was assuming FDC and co was on the opposite side of the lake, when they were literally right behind us. In that case, I have to rewrite my entire post.

I'm now assuming I went separate ways from FDC's party earlier. Thus, I'm afraid I'm now at Zirekile.

He then calm down and tried to hear where the scream was coming from. He then hears a girl screaming at the top of her lungs saying, "HELP! BAD MAN! KIDNAPPER! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" " That's not to far and I'm not good at calculating time, but I think it will take me about another hour maybe two." L scurries to the direction of the noise and hopes he can get their in time.  

An hour. Really? What, are you a military sniper in a ghillie suit creeping towards us, making sure not even the local wildlife knows you are there? We are in a forested area and you are close enough to hear a girl scream, which, last I checked is a fairly high pitched sound. This is to say nothing of the fact that you are close enough to understand her. The higher the pitch, the lower the distance it can travel. I just watched a documentary about elephants using sounds with pitches too low for humans to hear, and having a viable distance, through the forest, of about two and a half kilometers. I cannot imaging a situation where a high pitched scream could be heard at such a distance requiring an hour or more of travel. Well, not without involving cliffs or canyons or some other major obstruction.

Ragoshay?

Ragoshay?

I beg thy pardon?

Also, no love for helping the damsel in distress?

Like I said, I rewinded to the point where we asked to accompany FDC and created an alternate route where we separated.
Ergo, I wasn't in earshot.

I know, and it makes me sad. Only DarkShade is coming to my aid... and he is 'an hour maybe two' away...

And can hear you somehow

In the woods you can hear a tree fall if there is silence, so you can hear someone scream.

yes, but not if you are an hours running distance away.

i get your point but it can be dense in some areas plus remember I put.

In all honesty, I was attempting to provide a reason to gather a few more of us together, even if it meant resorting to the cliché damsel in distress routine. I will not fault Luna for proceeding with his own story, but I stand by my right to be saddened by this choice.

Don't worry, I'm going to join with you at some point. That means even if I'm going to be late.

Hold it, if you're an hour away, then how did you see that Taichii's wolf was covering him (and you presumably saw me gank the thing). Even if you're a sniper or whatever, you couldn't have seen that if you were an hour away in a forest. In any case, all it means is that I have one less person to lose :P

okay.. XD
i think FDC's busy with his school :D
anyway.. this happened before.. i think that he will post tomorrow since it's friday today.
okay XD
i'll post when i come back :D
i'll just dream.. because i can't move and thus im unconscious.. but nobody should control thy character.

either i be saved by darkshade, ryqo or fdc(dunno), or be snatched away by clayton.
:))
i'll go by any plot.

Lan... I mean *L* charges Clayton!

Lol XDD
ryqoshay, that explained it XD HAHAHAHA

doku i changed my post, so i didn't see the wolf drag him.

I actually avoided making that group scenario on purpose xP I kind of don't want to end up super weak for most of the game because I'm not gathering contacts.

i feel like making a manga of this once I have free time and if we get enough posts in the RP.

Funny you mentioned that. I was telling someone about this and he dared me to draw the whole thing.

Yeah, its kind of a thing i like doing. if I had two jobs after college, it will be Game Programing and Creating mangas. :D

:))))
hahahahha XD we all have the same idea XD
i will be lookin' forward to work with you all till' the end guys XD

EDIT: will be waiting for ryqo/darkshade/fdc 's post before i post again :))) lol

Origin: Bervenia Free City

Physical Attributes: Mirthean stands at a height of 5'10'', with a pretty lean build. His eyes are a shade of green, and has the typical ashbrown hair; which is usually not noticeable due to him wearing the large turban the Mystics wear.

His outfit is mostly comprised of the usual Oracle and/or Chemist getup, depending on the type of work he is currently doing.
He is usually seen wearing multi-pocketed leather pants with a long sleeved top, paired with a beltbag and large merchant's slingbag; then toppped with the long intricate Sino-styled garb of the Oracle and its matching black turban.

Personality: Mirthean is quite a warm person overall. He tends to be helpful with most of the people around him, especially those who are really close to him. Work-wise, he also treats his clients and contacts with care. Travelling around the usual trade routes has given him quite the experience in dealing with different types of people.

Business-minded still, like all other merchants, but not as shrewd as the bigshots in the trade industry. Having trained as a Mystics in his early years helped him hone his overall personality, balancing both the dark and light forces within him.

As a fighter in the Mystical Arts, Mirthean can be quite a nuisance. Having control over the forces of Yin and Yang, he manipulates the mystic weave of the universe to inflict different status ailments to the enemy.

Weapon: Redemption (Modified version of a Quarterstaff)

This was the weapon he has been using ever since he obtained the title of being a Mystic. It is made of sturdy metal alloys and covered with silver and gold platings. The staff also has a specialized headpiece with a deep blue crystal on the center.

Skills:
Mystic/Oracle Skill Set
Chemist Skill Set (Limited Amount)
Starting White Mage Skills (Cure, Shell, Protect)

Info:
Coming from the Ascael Family of Bervenia, Mirthean has trained under a distant relative in the neighboring Kingdom of Ordallia to become a Mystic. But aside from this, he has also taken a liking to the world of trading and business due to the influence of his father and uncles.
--------
Two years after finishing his training as a Mystic, Mirthean traveled with his father around the Kingdom as his personal assistant to different trade offerings and dealings with the smallest of traders, to the biggest, and shadiest of them all. This kind of experience ran for a couple of years until his father finally decided to retire. Mirthean on the other hand; had already decided to pursue being a merchant and hone his skills in this profession too; being guided by the teachings from being a Mystic; Learning more, absorbing every bit of experience in the world outside. Balancing and honing it to suit your needs.

Ryqo needs to post next. Will she take my peace offering?

Sorry, I've been waiting so as to allow others to post. Despite the urge, I am trying not to rush ahead *too* much... So unless I get a green light from the others I shall limit my posts to one a day or less.

However, it is indeed my turn next, I do have my next post hand written and ready to be typed out.

Quote(from phone, forgive errors)

That should be your signature.

Just a breif summary.

Last couple of posts, Taichii has been damage by the little girl's scythe and is currently unconcious.The Girls begins to call for help. Clayton seeing the opportunity to kidnap Taichii, He Attacks the wolf and turns into a Blade again. He picks up taichii, the sword and the scythe and runs off. Mean while about 2 hours away L hears a cry for help and is rushing towards the scream to get to the area in time. During the kidnap Taichii has a strange dream and refuse the mysterious man in his dream to use his anger and hatred. About a hour later, the girl gives up and starts attacking Clayton, but then realize that Clayton was going to kill Taichii if she got closer to him. L arrives to the battle late and see a drag mark of a sword going towards the hill where Clayton and the girl went. What will happen! will the girl accept Claytons offer or will Taichii die? You will find out inthe next couple of Posts in FFT: Desperation!!!

Also here is a picture of his cape and his sword
the sword is suppose to be a custom katana and that is what it looks similar to.

Technically, he took damage from her dagger, but since both are spawned from the same dark energies within her, it matters little in the end.

Oh I forgot that, but after all its just a small summary. I posted it so others know what happened when they were gone for a while.

LOL at this XDD haha dark shade can be our host commentator (like dragon ball Z LOL) XD

anyway.. i will be posting even though im unconscious. just some side happenings along the way. LOL

I'm confused by your timeline, DarkShade. If you are by the lake already, then you are not an hour away. The entire fight up to now has only lasted about 15-20 minutes, as hard as that is to believe.

yep.. maybe change it into minutes into hours dark shade :D

L actually gets to the area around 35 to 40 minutes. He isnt good with time like i said on one of the post and yea i did realize that I for got to put he arrives slightly early than normal. so his is actually going towards the hill when she ask him to not kill mama.

well you could post now or wait for ryqo's actions..

and everyone, specially those not in the lake, you can post your story along and we'll find ways to meet up in the near future :D

I didn't actually say 'Fuck, is he waking up?' I meant that as a thought.

oh ill change my post then

pain.. that's what keeps you human..
god i love that line XD

Interesting, are you implying that aberrations do not feel pain?

Humans are aberrations, if you wish to look at it that way.

EDIT: I'm waiting on Lijj.

Seconded LOL XD
anyway.. luna, lijj told me that he would post afterlunch :))
i will post tomorrow..
*sewing my kimono* LOL

Coolio. Then I'll wait until then, seeing as I want to move at the same pace as him.

and luna.. may i ask again XD what part of zerikyle are you in? :D
I'll update the map tomorrow :D

I'm at the falls themselves, just under the bridge. Except, I'm inside a small cave going into the falls that were previously sealed by a door.

okay got it :D
updates so far :

Taichii,Ryqoshay, Dokurider = Northwestern part of the forest.
Darkshade = Near the lake behind the bushes were Taichi,Ryqo and doku are.
FDC = on the southernpart of the lake (perhaps letting his wolf drink)
St4rW4lk3r = dorter inn (starbucks LOL)
Luna = falls
Lijj = otw to the falls (eastern part of araguay woods)
Gintails = not yet on the map.
Ascael = not yet on the map but will pop up soon LOL

time frame : 1:45 am in the morning. LOL

You just ran into the chloroform gas DarkShade...
Furthermore, I just detonated a whole bunch of them all around us. They may be illusionary, but does your character know that?

I don't think the first thought is "it's chloroform" unless they already have experience with chloroform.
He'll likely think it to be no more than a heavy mist.

Good point, but he still ran into the actual chloroform.

Then yes, he's quite boned.

He has no memory of his past so no he didn't know what is was Chloroform. Also it depends on how much the chloroform L breaths to get the symptoms of it.

Then it looks like you're going to remember the hard way then.

Yes L will have to learn the hard way again oops thats a spoiler.

For the record, when chloroform was used as an an anesthetic in days gone by, a rag would be soaked and set near the patient's head - not covering their faces like in Hollywood - and he or she would have to breath deeply several times before becoming light headed and sleepy. They would typically not actually pass out for a good five minutes, possibly more depending various factors such as body mass and drug resistance. When a soaked rag is held directly over one's face, chloroform is potentially fatal and will almost invariably leave solvent burns on the skin. Direct ingestion of as little as 10 mL can be fatal as well. As far as a gas cloud is concerned, 900 ppm is enough to cause fatigue, where as 10,000 ppm appears to be necessary to actually cause unconsciousness.
According to OSHA, stages of symptoms from exposure to a high concentration of gas go as follows: a feeling of warmth in the face and body, then irritation of the mucous membranes, eyes and skin, followed by loss of reflexes, sensation and unconsciousness. The pupils dilate and have a reduced reaction to light. Prolonged inhalation causes paralysis, cardiac arrest and respiratory failure, and death.

Of course, who am I to argue science fact when I'm playing a girl who can fly and teleport at will?

It's Chloroform in the same way Antidote is an Antidote.

Quote from: Dokurider on February 02, 2012, 03:59:39 pm
It's Chloroform in the same way Antidote is an Antidote.

I must beg thy pardon for I do not understand the statement. I realize that Antidote is a generic term in Final Fantasy, as well as many other RPG's for that matter, for a chemical that cures its target of a multitude of ailments. However, I do not recall chloroform being used in any Final Fantasy setting, so I must admit a bit of confusion for how you are intending it to work, other than it immediately knocking everyone out except you.
I'll admit that I offered the science of the chemical as more of a joke than anything else. I also realize we are playing a game in a fantasy setting. In that light, we have an assassin who seems immune, a half-vampire who seems to have at least some level of resistance to be waking up so quickly, then we have... whatever Anita is... and now we have an amnesiac whose race has yet to be revealed... so... How do we proceed?

we can continue the story by have possessed Taichii fight Clayton and L helping out or something similar to it and at the same time L struggling to stay conscious.

It would like how any offensive status item works in Final Fantasy.

Anyways, forget about it. It doesn't really matter anyways.

You would have teleported out of the way if DarkShade didn't rescue you anyways.

DarkShade shakes it off.

Taichii goes all Phoenix.

And my last ball is completely wasted.

Does it really matter if the conclusions are all the same?

Followed your chars Luna. Firkon and Slime are in the cave entrance now. I didn't write too descriptively; letting you lead the way. Shall we fight together?

If you want to join the fight, you'd best do so quickly, seeing as it begins now. It's about a hour walk.

Well forget that. It'll be too rushed... I'll have to play by ear when I get there. I'll come up with another reason Slime glid into the cavern.

:))
time for me to post.
as to gain more motivation into all of us being one in the future..
twists are given.

i will edit this post when i finished posting..
*types*


EDIT: sorry for the long post :D hope you liked it.
anyway.. the italized part = real world
normal font = dream world.

Just get the fonts right.

edited the fonts.
tell me if i need to lessen the post though :)

My posts block out the sun.

ow shit XD huge wall of story texts XDD
*reads*

Fuck I go to sleep and a Giant wall of text pop up. glad I am a fast reader. Also I'm going to post soon and just to give a summary of whats happening. L smells a fire pick the girl up and he runs away from fire. they exit the forest and L sets the girl down and collapse.

darkshade, you should let anita decide if she wants to be taken outside the forest.. and uhh.. out of the ravaged area would be prefered that the forest.. because the forest is vast and it would take maybe 2 or 3 hours to get away from your spot XD

EDIT: i drew a part of the story when i was just about to errupt..
i haven't style-shaded it yet and haven't colored it yet but i will do in the future XD
i call it possession XD

Oh sorry it that he instinctively does that. I also edit it so i will edit some parts i had a limited time earlier to do it.

mfw = my face when

oh sorry XD
haha well i have to sleep now.. will look forward all of your post..
XD i will tell gintails and ascael that we're near dorter so that they and the others can post :D

Hey DarkShade, you passed out, right? You do realize you passed out in front of a raging inferno that's going to burn for day and for miles. You'd better get your ass up fast.

Also, does Anita's duplicates bleed or have blood in them?

i notified gintails and ascael :))
i think they'll post soon.

Quote from: Dokurider on February 04, 2012, 12:34:39 am
Also, does Anita's duplicates bleed or have blood in them?

Anita's duplicates are tangible, reactionary illusions. They will 'bleed' if cut and an attacker will feel 'resistance' as though they hit something. They are by no means perfect. Those familiar with illusions may be able to figure out which is which, as may a skilled swordsman who has slayen so many foes that they know a real body when their blades cut one. Of, course in the heat of battle who has time for such details? The duplicates don't last long anyway and their main purpose is as a diversion.
Diversionary tactics are an essential component of her survival and self-preservation.

Anyways, is it alright if it rains in Dorter? Because Dorter doesn't feel right if it not raining. It's like Seattle; it's always raining.

It should rain cause as far as i been in the rp it hasn't rain yet.

hmmm if it rains on dorter, it would also douse the fire at araguay woods.. and it just rained at this time yesterday at the RP time warp. LOL

oh i didn't even know that. lol

..waiting on Lijj

I'm fine with it raining in Dorter. I can use it as an excuse for several RP opportunities for Anita. ^_^

I still can't believe I missed that but yeah I'm going to reveal more about L Later.

Do your duplicates have organs? If they are just built for evasion and misdirection, then it wouldn't make any sense to render them with organs, right?

alright then XD
LET IT RAIN wuhaha
but along zerikyle it would just drizzle... when the rain passed dorter.. it willl rain in araguay and then in zerikyle and so on XD

.....So Lijj isn't posting. It's very irritating how everybody I "meet up with" just vanishes.

Quote from: Dokurider on February 04, 2012, 06:11:34 pm

Well, they have 'organs' as far as a medieval, unschooled child knows 'organs.' Anita has seen her share of bloodshed and spilled guts, but she likely could not point to any given part and name it. She has had time to fine tune her spells to her liking. Her daggers, her scythes and her wings are all honed from the dark magicks within her; her duplicates are no exception.
If one were to, say, cut a duplicate in half, they would find themselves in the middle of a bloody mess. 'Blood' and 'guts' would fall out, then the entire thing would disappear on its own after a moment or two. I doubt anyone would have time for a detailed autopsy.
For most intents and purposes, the duplicates appear to be real. Experts in the field of illusions, perhaps such as Clayton, may be able to discern the difference. Bloodthirsty warriors whose intimate knowledge of the carnage is unparalleled may be able to figure things out. Those with eyes and intellect the likes of Sherlock Holmes may very well be able to quickly deduce that a child put the duplicate together. But the average commoner, and most others for that matter, would be fooled.

   Anita runs up to group. "I found her!" She proclaims proudly, holding up her stuffed toy up to Not-the-Mama and grinning like only a child can. "Sorry I dropped her..." She turns to the guard. "Hi, Mr. Guard-type-man!" she greets cheerfully. "Can we go in now? I wanna see if I can find a shop that sells turkey jerky!"

XD i think this is cute haha

*whew* I thought I'd never make it to this point.

Here is the initial data on the Black Platypus deathsquad:

1x Hero Poison Assassin with Martial Arts

1x Poison Assassin with Super Toxic Arts and Item (Leader)

4x Thieves

I'll do it properly tomorrow.

Wow you guys like to rush ahead... There is no way Anita would remain silent after being called a beggar...

Sorry Dukelritter, I should have posted here before I took off for a day; I really was only gone a day! It seemed like you didn't want to meet up with me so I went another direction in the cave. You were already fighting so I didn't bother but next time something like this occurs I will give a heads up here.
Prease forgibs

hohoho.. well i have to log out now see you guys tomorrow :D

Well im about to post a long wall of text. if its confusing please tell ill try to reword it to sound better. the post tells you more about his past and also inform you how his sword Roiyaru is formed and stuff. this should be the last of the memory dreams. also ill post a new Character Sheet of my L so you understand more about him.

Darkshade you moved to Dorter way to fast.
This is the 3rd time you have gone somewhere too fast.
Please refer to the PMs I sent you a while ago, and don't do this again.
It can really screw things up.

how did i move to fast, i waited a complete day to post and it was an hour travel. i  also exited the forest in the south a post ago.

It takes a day to travel to each place Dark.

Everyone here has to take a day to walk, unless your Ryqo who teleports, or apparently a large flaming bird.

Or Clayton who can just somehow escape the forest fire and end up a dortor. I have wait a day on traveling havn't you read the post.

did you read the posts?

I give up you win ill quit rping. Does that make you happy? Also it didn't take a complete day for me where i was. It only took about an hour to an hour and 30 minutes.

You don't have to quit, you only have to fix up how you play. And where you were was the middle of the forest. My characters reached Dorter by the time night was falling, and they left the forest by noon. You gotta think these through. I think the best way to think on this is look at FFT, it takes ramza exactly one day of straight walking to get to the next point.

That was my post before the last one. Still I give up you only have bitch at me. So Clayton shouldn't be dead in dortor and still escaping the forest if i still have to wait that long. Not all forest take a complete day to exit it to get from one place to another in he is running for his life trying to escape a forest fire. but still i guess you make up the rules and ill just quit posting.

I got launched by a meteor. That's my excuse on how I got to Dorter so fast.

Dark its your choice if you leave. But you previous post doesn't really effect your newest, where you are in dorter. Your previous one stats you are getting on the chocobo and beginning to ride with that other guy to Dorter.

I also am not making up the rules, its just a basic thing, we are all walking, by foot, in a large world. Also I highly doubt anyone can run from one place to another that fast, for that long.

Edited post, as I forgot to add in the part with the rain... I blame the mad cow...

First of all if you in the middle of the woods and a meteor hit it would effect me too if you somehow got thrown to dorter and if it was small i shouldn't be able to throw you that far plus my guy ran for his life to get out of the forest and when he did it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to arrive dorter after that. so if I am right Clayton died way long before I arrive.

Yes I won't disagree Clayton should be dead from that, still, one hour and 30 min. thats still a tad too short. By the time you would get there, going the fastest you could on that chocobo, I would estimate it would take you a good 4 hours to get to dorter still.

okay ill delete my post and wait later to post it all back on

alright, that should do.

Good day, everyone! Let's have our first real PvE battle. Today's course features a ninja rush with poison skills out the ass.



Units:



It's night time and it's raining with 0% chance of a sudden wind gust of any kind ever. Get ready fighters, live or let die, go for broke, let's do this, nobody blink, you can feel the calm before the storm, no holding back, get ready, good luck AND FIGHT!

just like what luna posted when she fought with undine.
and for reference.. (orig. DESPERATION story : http://www.fftrealm.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14961)
this will come later in the future >:D when FDC returns perhaps LOL anyway. im soul eater and FDC is onetwothreefourfive there.. you can look it up on how to pve :D

okay so anyway.. im posting next XD
get ready guys XD wahahhaha

Wait a minute i forgot to add he falls asleep on the chocobo. Will edit this

that's more like it XD

Oh, okay then.

Just a minor nitpick, they kinda want you alive for the bounty. But if you resist them, they will just cut their loses and go for the throat. They aren't going to immediately aggro you especially if they think you can't fight back.

Fuck it, who cares? They're just going to beat you to submission instead.

*plays dead* LOL XD

HAI GAIZ This is a picture of my char. Slime:

Here's the layout.

1 - Leader
2 - Big Guy
3 - One with Steal
4 - One with Item
5 - One with Jump and Heat Knife/Oil combo
6 - Dog Master with dogs on the sides
7 - One with Talk
8 - One with Basic Skill

I made a better one:

Minor addendum:

The War Dogs move really fast, and are very sneaky when attacking. Just imagine dogs raised by ninjas. k thanks.

Wow... Not only did I not wake up to a wall of text, but I even made it through my entire work day... Amazing!
In any case, it was boring at work, so I did prepare a little something to post when I get back home tonight.

I was too busy MSpainting to build walls. Have a map instead.

I did make a wall of text today, just not on here. :P

O___O

okay., so 1 is going for anita.
2,5,8 going for st4r.
thieves going for clayton and taichii
7 and 4 stun? :)

8 is just throwing a bomb behind st4r to block off the exits, then he's going to block off the others.

7 is throwing a bomb at Anita, then she is going to throw another one down the alley.

Thieves do not currently worry about you or Clayton, but they are being cautious. They really don't know what to do exactly, so they are just...standing there basically.

1 is actually going to revive 3.

But all that was heard was the screaming of what sounded to be kid.

I don't recall Anita screaming... Coughing and complaining, yes, but not screaming.
Despite some of her prior antics, she isn't always screaming.

Referring to Taichii's yelling into the thief's ear as he was being taken away.

My apologies, I had all but forgotten Taichii's post. Were it not for my notes for my next post, I most likely would have... and I would have blamed the mad cow...

the post about mother, can you post her coordinations on the map too st4rw4lk3r? XD
im a lil bit confused xD
mother anatched me from the thieves, put me inside the inn... is that correct? O_O
if that is, then dokurider, why did the thieves overcross you? O_O did they run for their lives or am i still with them? LOL sorry just confused.

Sorry.
You are with the thieves, and Clayton is with me.

okay okay got it XD
i misread the part of "that was not being captured" lol XD

yeah, should I have erased myself from the map, because idk where I am right now.

I erased you on mine

is this correcct? :D

Mother is not in the Inn yet, I will post her being in there on my next turn

okay okay :D

So who has to go now? I'm itching to make my post.

hohohoho XD
go ahead and post guys :D

where are you anyways o.o
-
oh yes; a recap would be nice; and where the people are. xD

At what point did you stop reading?

well most parts of the fight i did not get much :))
so most of what happening in dorter would be nice xD since ill try and pop out there for some reason XD

:D map recap of dorter...
Luna and boss lijj please also do yours :D

and also.. the pink one (mother) is not at the inn yet :)) LOL the inn is right below where anita is standing :)

What has happened in Dorter? *plays appropriate recap music here*

Mother and Cipher were staying at a inn when Clayton arrived with Taichii's unconscious body. Clayton had managed to ditch Anita by hitching a ride with a guard in his chocobo pulled cart. Clayton was on his way to claim Taichii's bounty when the guard, paid off by the Pals at the Tavern, dumped Clayton and Taichii in the middle of the street to be ambushed by the Black Platypus, an organization out to execute Clayton.

Clayton is allegedly the last of his family that the Black Platypus had ordered wiped out. They had previously believed that Clayton was dead, but had discovered recently he was alive and had him set up. As they readied to execute Clayton, Mother and Cipher interrupted them. Anita also joined along for the rescue.

The ambush consisted of 8 assassins from Black Platypus and 4 thieves from the Pals at the Tavern. We refer to them by the number I assigned them.

Quote1 - Leader
2 - Big Guy
3 - One with Steal
4 - One with Item
5 - One with Jump and Heat Knife/Oil combo
6 - Dog Master with dogs on the sides
7 - One with Talk
8 - One with Basic Skill

As for the battle itself stands:
One thief is stunned on the ground, one had his blood sucked, one is running away, and the last one is dead.

(1), (5), and (7) are about to confront Taichii in the alley.

(4) is Afraid and is just standing there cowering.

(2) and (8) are going to fight with

Cipher who is in a now dissipating cloud of smoke. He has knocked out (6) and killed one of his dogs and is being attacked by another right now

Clayton and Mother are...somewhere.

Anita was last seen behind (4)

There is gas blocking the south and east exits and on one of the roofs.

That should be all you need to know.

Black Platypus, an organization out to execute Clayton.

QuoteThe man had to take that last part in for a moment. The Black...Platypus? The man fell to the ground in hysterics. "You've got to be kidding me, right?" As the man continued to suck in air to laugh some more, the ninja's foot forcefully found it's way to the man's neck; any harder would have popped the man's head off. "The sounds of one's laughter makes an excellent cover for the whistling of a knife. Another one of our policies is that everyone gets to laugh at us. Once. You've just used up your chance." He let go of the man's throat, leaving him gasping in pain. "When we corner Ivalice in the drug trade, no one will find anything funny about the Black Platypus."

edit:
btw nice first post

   Last time on FFT Desperation, A forest fire was created by Tacihii's ancestor who is controlling the Phoenix. Taichii is then lifted into the air by his Phoenix. Fighting his ancestor Taichii is help by the wolf from his sword in his conscious and is soon dropped outside of Dorter. The others Clayton, Anita, and L, begins to flees from the fire of. Anita Teleports while Clayton gets hit by the explosion of a meteor knocking him towards Dorter, while L runs. L soon is knock out and remembers a tragic memory of his sister dieing. L soon wakes up and sees the forest fire and continues to run. He then soon exits the forest and finds John, a merchant who he help get the the falls. Mean while in Dorter Clayton was going to drop off Taichii until his is attacked by the Black Platypus. Soon rain pour down during the fight and everyone in the area starts experiencing it. He is then unconscious on the gorund. Soon McCloud heard some noise out side the inn and runs to help. Anita then begins helping too, while Mother takes Clayton into the inn. Taichii soon gains strength by drinking blood of his victim. The continue to fight. It was Taichii, McCloud, and Anita versus The Black Platypus. While this happens L fell asleep and learns more about him. Soon a new person emerges, Mirthean Ascael. He is a merchant just like John but with a twist, he has skills of a Mystic instead of Mediator (Orator) Skills. Will L remember his past in his sleep? Will Taichii, Anita, and McCloud survive in the fight against the Black Platypus? Will Clayton be healed? Who is this Mirthean Ascael? Find out in the next FFT Desperation posts or something.

EDIT : hohoho our plan might succeed XD
anyway.. time to eat dinner :)
i don't know if i will be able to post tomorrow as my girlfriend will visit LOL
night guys~

I should point out that Anita does not indicate who Charon is. Additional, since the sentient scythe does not move or say anything to use its abilities, most people assume the powers originate from the girl. Unless one is sensitive to magic and is able to identify the true source of spells, one cannot be faulted for reaching the same conclusion as so many before them.

Addendum: Yes, "bad mans" was typed intentionally.

Relax, the ninjas have no idea about how either of your powers work. Feel free to hit me with whatever plan you are concocting. Just be sure to kill ALL of them and to reduce them all to ash (teeth included). k thx

Check out my college education hard at work.

perfect XD just as planned wuhaha XD
okay time to post :D

Well I'm about to post. If I am right i should be at Dorter now. If not then i got to wait about 10 more minutes.

The fact that you're editing it scares me more than its purported size.

Well its in an IRC format, I'm just cutting out our names, fixing spelling, and taking out our out of character messages.

Well, I can't wait to see this wall of text. I'll be working on my mod for awhile until i need to sleep.

And all was dark: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8332.new#msg168017

When I was a kid, I remember how herculean of a task it was to write 10 pages in a month. Now I write 10 pages in a single night. What's up with that?

Its that we want to RP, but not write a paper.

If you have the will to do something, you will do it, if not, you will struggle.

This is no longer a wall of text

This is a city of text.

Lets make a kingdom next. A kingdom of text

God just go make a galaxy of text, shit why not a universe.

XD i enjoyed the long story XD
ahaha great post guys :D
alright my turn to post XD
EDIT: done XD hoho hope you liked it :D

oooh~ nice posts.
mmm once im free imma post again x.x;

Finally finish the city of text. Hope I don't encounter bigger ones. I'll post after Mirthean posts.

Oh there will be more

Well, my coffee shall help me read in the morning, and tea at night.

/me is halfway through wall-o'-text...

Cans? Really?

Hey st4r said it wouldn't be out of place.

Blame him.

:))))
i enjoyed it LOL

I am not saying I did not enjoy it - barring enough spelling, grammar and other typographical errors to give any English professor a migraine - and I know it may be considered nit picking, but I must admit the cans disrupted my suspension of disbelief enough that I could not help but comment on it. I may not be as obsessed with FFT as most other members of FFH, and my memory is faulty due to mad cow, but I cannot recall the use of cans in my time in Ivalice.

Of course, by FFT standards, Anita has three movement abilities, so... c'est la vie...

hrmn.. maybe change the can of food into food inside a box?   :mrgreen:

Well st4r said cans would be on the tech level of the FFT universe. It just seemed having a shitload of jerky or whatever would be even more stupid. I really didn't know what else to put for meat that kept well.

Yeah it's really hard rping completely on the fly and have it not headache inducing. In particular, I was hating that basement scene as I was typing it out. We simply need a better system. I think I'll do the editing next time. I don't think st4r likes editing that much and I'm the one that has english textbooks everywhere.

Hmm, Mirthean when are you going to post? I'm waiting for you so you can be in the fight if you want too and your there already? I don't want to make it where i get there at tawny traveler inn when your about to exit it.

Yes, that is what scares me...

dark shade, me and mirthean we're chatting on FB and i think he doesnt want to involve just yet in the fight :))
why don't you go at the inn where he is and maybe get to travel with him...
if everything goes well, im planning to go to zerikyle fals..
ryqo, i hope you'll be coming with me LOL
doku, i think its your turn to post :D

Okay i'll post sometime tonight, but I got to start working on an essay.

Oh, right. It is.

I have posted finally, now i must wait for mirthean now.

your post is awfully large Dark : P

...the fuck, Dark? I think you got your summary mixed up with your actual post, man.

remove this part dark and the other spaces XD
too much space can kill us XD

sorry I think I couple my 2 pages of fft desperation i like to save my information, ill fix it.

@darkshade : haha, the battle was mostly ending so i took the back entrance instead; and even if i did encounter the battle; i would prolly avoid it; xP

-reading now~

nice XD
so after this battle with myself here's the pairings and destinations..

st4r and dokurider (destination = to run away i think?)
taichii and ryqoshay (going to zerikyle to pick up some of his dad's stuff. dunno if ryqo will come with me.. along the way at the zerikyle top, i'll meet up boss lijj  :mrgreen:)
lijj (still at zerikyle)
dakshade and mirthean (i dunno where they will they go but they'll investigate.. i think..)
gintails (she said she will post after the event that she is hosting here in our country :D)

i will investigate.... and kill you. haha. >:E en garde!

go run off to zeirchele falls already unless you want me to catch up to you before you get to leave town. hahah. imma exorcise you and  burn you in the steaks xD

Good morning guys, I finally got on this morning.(Later than normal) If it's okay with everyone, I'll post soon maybe an hour or 2 later.

There are no dead ends in the area, especially where I think you just put them.

Anyways, after Ryqo posts, it's my turn.

I'm curious how/why the authorities showed up at the tavern before investigating the not-so-quiet destruction of public property a few doors down...

Priorities

I like to think of it more as he is coming in after the fact, when it's all over. Othewise, there is no way he could have walked to the inn without commenting on the fight going on, unless he was the Mr. Magoo of FFT.

LOL

- anyway. i've edited thy post LOL

@ryqo : well its raining ; so it has a possibility of not being noticed -that much-
and its early morning too ; so not much people have been going around the streets by then; and if ever there was- they prolly ran off in fear.

i took a back entrance to the inn, since going through the front would make me notice the fight one way or another.
authrorities - can either mean one or two local guards/security in the nearby post.
and/or they would probably be too sleepy to notice.+rain. and possibly passed by the other entrance. which makes the inn look a bit bigger -thus allowing the fight to be unnoticed from the other side.
-----------------

i will be going out of the inn's front in a bit. do i expect to see mangled bodies when i take a walk a couple of blocks around?

There will be one dog immediately outside the inn, cut in half.

You will see the bodies of the thieves splattered in the ally.

Walls destroyed.

Ice coating the ground.

Ash everywhere.

You will at least see one dead ninja with his heart ripped out.

A lot happened in that little ally.

some them turned into ashes. only 1's corpse remained i think? :D

Are there any opponents still alive?

nope :D
where we let at, i just went berserk while you're still on my neck XD
don't worry i didn't hit you .. and uhh.. as the scythe left my body, <stop> there's a battle inside my head LELS

I just assumed that everyone was dead and posted anyway; figured I could always edit if need be. I've been busy these last few days, so it's pathetic drivel and mostly recap, but it will do to move things along.

No enemies are alive anymore. You can make many, many more if you'd like though <3.

oh shit XD im a heretic now? XD
ROFL XD
anyway.. let's wait for mirthean or dark shade to post before i post :D
anyway my main goal at the moment is to go back at zerikyle.
but im hoping that ryqoshay will go with me :D

Heretic? You are a wanted man. You had a 100 man force come after you, burned down a forest to try to get to you. You are considered a dire threat and after what you just got done doing, this type of force is not all that unjustified or unfamiliar to you.

But getting away is still easy shit for you. The question is, can you get a hold of yourself and escape? Or will you give in and slaughter them all? The only thing I have trapped here is your humanity.

hahaha depends on the following posts XD
well my gf's here.. i'll post tom :D i'll wait for darkshade, lijj, or mirthean or st4r to post :D

As they came around the corner, they saw a boy just standing there with a little girl clinging on to his back.

If he saw Anita still clinging to Taichii, he would see two girls, the one clinging to the boy's back would blink out of existence quickly. However, if we are to hold true with my post that Anita looked back and forth to see if anyone was approaching, her duplicate would have faded before the pair is spotted.

Quote from: Dokurider on February 24, 2012, 02:12:09 am
He also recognized the girl as well.

Oh? Pray tell, how?

Quote from: Dokurider on February 24, 2012, 02:12:09 am
He moved foward towards him while pulling out handcuffs.

I do hope we are talking about the cumbersome manacles and not the pocket-sized, ratcheting cuffs of today...

Quote from: Dokurider on February 24, 2012, 02:12:09 am
More guards from around the city now appeared around Taichii and Anita, boxing them in.

He even knows here name? ... Did I mention Anita frequenting Dorter and raising Cain or something in her background?

LOL even taichii doesn't know anita's name yet XD

Oh, I just assumed you just flew off and let your dupe do the dirty work, as usual.

QuoteHowever, if we are to hold true with my post that Anita looked back and forth to see if anyone was approaching, her duplicate would have faded before the pair is spotted.

Oh, I assumed that you would be at Taichii's side, trying to snap him out of his state.

QuoteOh? Pray tell, how?

He recognized you from the gate? The senior guardsman that was stationed at the checkpoint, not the captain.

QuoteI do hope we are talking about the cumbersome manacles and not the pocket-sized, ratcheting cuffs of today...

Handcuffs, manacles, magically reinforced rope, it's all in a name.

QuoteHe even knows here name? ...

No he doesn't. That was the narrator talking. I was just getting sick of calling you 'the girl'. But if you haven't even formally introduced yourself, then I guess calling you by your name isn't warranted yet.

Okay, so I'll change up my post later today.

I'm also curious how he knows Anita could be dangerous or that he stands no chance against her... As far as I'm aware, he has done nothing to harm her, or vise versa for that matter.

By the simple fact that Anita is hanging out with a horrible demon that just tore up the slums. IF he, they saw you just hanging off Taichii's back, that would be grounds to assume you are just as dangerous as he is. They don't know exactly what is going on, and that's why they are, were assuming you are hostile and dangerous as he is until given evidence otherwise. Even if you were pretending to be a hostage, they would view you with suspicion and would put you into custody for interrogation.

That is, if they saw you, which I will gladly agree they did not.

Heh... Dangerous by association... interesting.

It's how SWAT deals with hostage situations IRL. They don't know who are the real threats are, so they book all of them and let the detectives sort it out.

Post has been updated.

I'll be posting sometime tonight.

Edit: Nvm I was too busy working on school related stuff and can't do it. I'll post tomorrow or soon.

Good thing it's so relaxed over there, it's not there's a Mexican standoff going on next door or anything. Which is why I support the idea that your plot events are happening later that day.

Anyways, I would suggest you and Mirth go onto IRC and act out your dialogue together. It's the only way that doesn't require constant editing via PMs or just being plain clunky. They don't have to be monstrous walls of circle jerking texts like me and st4r make.

Ha is that what we make now?

hmmmmm. *ponders.*

Woah, woah, woah there, Ryqo. Where did Anita come from all of a sudden? What has she been doing since the guards came? Has she changed her appearance since then? Is she still brandishing her weapons? I hope she didn't literally just appear in front of him, because that would raise some serious flags, or at least scare the shit out of them.

She landed in the ally near Taichii, looked around for more enemies, determined there were no other threats, whined about it for a moment, looked around for possible authoritative figures that may have been attracted to the sounds of the chaos, finally, she prepared herself for the inevitable encounter with said authoritative figures.

In fact, here is the link to the post. (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8332.140#msg168275)

As for her outfit, she is wearing her, now rain-soaked and kunai-torn, clerical vestments. She is never "brandishing her weapons" as Charon is usually strapped to her back and her daggers remain in their sheaths on her belt. The only thing she is holding is her stuffed panda... which should probably be wrung out and dried eventually before it molds... And she physically ran out to place herself between Taichii and the captain of the guard; she did not teleport.

Okay, but how did she prepare? She went invisible, right? Did she stay at Taichii's side the whole time? That's what I meant. I guess it's sort of obvious, but not directly describing your actions from your last post in the RP surprised me.

She prepared mentally. She was getting ready to turn on the tear ducts. There is/was no time to do anything physical if your post has the captain of the guard witness the final few ninjas die.

If you are asking if she was preparing in a similar fashion to how she did in the forest, then no. In a city, there are fewer places she could leave her belongings without risk of them being stolen. High in the branches of a random tree is one thing, but a city full of people is something completely different.

Did she stay by Taichii's side? Sort of. She embraced him from behind trying to calm him. Then Taichii posted that she was still apparently clinging to his back while his character was dancing around doing crazy stuff to kill the last few bad guys. I made that be her duplicate. She teleported a foot or two off his back wherever he was at the start of this post. (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8332.140#msg168204) Her double would remain attached to his back for a moment or two before fading on its own. With everything Taichii did in that post, I can confidently say the image would have dissipated long before the guards show up.

She did not go invisible. She simply stood in the middle of the ally, sans wings, looking around for ninjas or guards. Now those guards have show and it is time for the performance.

I feel no need to hide the fact that it is indeed a performance, as I believe it should be obvious by now.

Okay guys the post I submit earlier is up-to-date now.

catch the evil taichiiiiii >:E hahahah. xD

LOL well i believe it's doku's turn to post :D

If you're going to go for the charm/entice/mind control, make sure you be subtle about it. If the captain suddenly declares everyone to back off and withdraw, they might assume he is under some kind of control and will move to protect the captain.

i'll wait for ryqo's reply to my pm then i shall post again :D

QuoteA battle like such would have probably made noise loud enough to be noticed by the nearby people; but why did it have to reach an end like this; before someone was able to take notice of it? Was the place surrounded by a barrier? Was some magic blocking the sense of people nearby?

It was magic alright. The magic of bad writing.

hahaha. epic magic xD

Hey guys. I finally got on today but since I'm to tired I will post tomorrow in the morning. If I'm slowing things down I'm sorry it has been a busy day for me.

alright darkshade. XD
wew

Fucking Jump, how does it work?

The same way magnets do!

NEW FACTION UP

ENTER THE SCYTHE AND BLADE ORDER (I met you halfway, st4r)

MEET THE ANISUASOR (Anima Consuasor)

READ THE DENIQUE TON DEO (Denique Tondeo)

More coming tomorrow.

MESSIAH = the two beings flying towards zerikyle XD

After reading both post i started laughing in doku's post. The Messiah! Soon everyone is going to do this to you Taichii. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dlz6CEjgXA&feature=fvsr well something similar.

Why do I get the feeling this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ) is more likely...?

Cause it going to happen after everyone meets the Messiah

Speaking of Monty Python, all Holy Grail jokes will be met with the pain of death.

ahahahaha i think ryqo qwill get involved with this since she has a scythe too XD ROFL

There are days I feel sorry for Charon...

hohoho why is that ryqo?
and is it already my turn? :D
just askin~

Well I'll post once Mirth post. I haven't been on since Tuesday. I hope everyone is having a good day.

I should have a post up sometime today.

Okay guys, let's wrap things up. Let's move on to the next day. Mirth and DarkShade can wrap up their little Scooby Doo investigation and we will move on to the next day.

EDIT:

random pic from the net.. it resembles Taichii so much ahaha

yay out of town adventure! XD

taichii keeps runnin away ; i should get a flying vehicle soon to catch up on him. haha.

offtopic:
since taichii told me to post my photo here;

random me; in a Dissidia Garb.
(oh how id love to wear Ramza's suit though. i do have a white mage in my closet too xD)

mirthean, at spam XD wahahhaa
i didnt run away.. i just move too fast for yah but yeh didnt catch up :)))

no. you keep running away from meee. D< i shall keeel youu. or sth. =))

Well then Mirth, lets get done searching the fight and then we can go after him. I might not help you kill him though.

I'm posting tonight.

i'll post after ryqoshay :)

Or I'll post tomorrow, today was kind of a rough day...

I'll explain more tomorrow.. Who want's to kill Firkon and take his awesome guantlet which makes his large, heavy axe feel as light as balsa wood? Slime you could try to destroy for fun, but good luck; fully destroying the liquid crystal entity is impossible mwhahaha.

Well, me and st4r made another wall of text. I'll have it up sometime today.

Do Illusionists dream of Illusionary sheep?

*raise hand for adopting slime for the meantime* XD

Don't fret pendejos, I will post a summary in a minute.

tl;dr version




tl;tl;dr;dr

Nothing really happened. Mothers nag, ninjas eat nasty shit, niqqas get madd, and illusionists need to wear foil caps lest people see their wet dreams.

Also nice try st4r, trying to take credit for my kill, but I'm on the ball, mang.

HAH XD
don't forget SAW's torture scenes

All right.  Some comments on the combat scene.

1) Can we all agree that if a weapon transforms into something and is then destroyed in that form (the way Taichii's wolf was), he can't transform that weapon again until the next battle?  Just like how we wouldn't allow an indestructible character, we shouldn't allow THIS.

2) During battle, please don't break the fourth wall.  In other words, please don't:
A) Have enemy units refer to their own subordinates as 1) (I'm sure that's not the name their parents gave them)
B) Describe the usage of enemy skills solely by their FFT names (Stigma Magic or Chakra) rather than by their effects
C) Dead bodies turning into crystals (and then writing HP Restored! when you step on them)

Things I liked:

1) Steal Heart being a process.
2) ST4R's character bio post!
3) Doku's last dream sequence.

agree with number 1 and sorry guys XD

Fine, I will give them actual names next time.

He... he lives!

Also, I shall indeed endeavor to avoid an all out breach of the fourth wall... but don't blame me if I toy with it a bit, lean on it, paint it, stare at it, hang a lampshade on it...

Indeed, but you do it with humor and overall, it reflects on the discernment ability of your character.  Some other people were doing it way too bluntly and matter-of-factly.

alright :D so my work orientation is 2 hours from now XD and its a full 8 hour orientation XD
i'll be back later tonight :D
i'll post after ryqoshay XD

(DISCLAIMER: Despite the fact that I am about to inundate you all with questions, there is no guarantee that I'll actually join this, especially any time soon, for multiple on-going reasons.)

Having read through this entire thread last night and having reread the original post just now, there are still (quite a few) questions I am curious about when it comes to this. My apologies in advance given that some of this might be overly technical or things that really only "need" to be known when or if they arise; also my apologies given that I haven't read the actual on-going RP and some of this may have been already answered there, even if only implicitly.

I'm just going to use spoilers here so it doesn't clog up the thread:














...Yeah. Most, if not all, of that could probably be answered with "use your judgment", but before I join anything--if I joined at all--with regards to this, for the most part this would be stuff that I'd like to know about.

Yeah. I suck the fun out of things without even being involved.

Characters up for grabs; since I'm leaving for a while soon and have a lot of work to do in the meantime:
(http://i.imgur.com/gagyJ.png)

Firkon, from fir cone ((http://i.imgur.com/PXtGg.png)) is a Geomancer primarily with basic Geomancy Lvl. 5. He was raised in a semi secret society of sorts where some esoteric geomancy is kept within their tradition. So he also has unknown  skills (to the outside world beyond his village), but nothing too fancy; he's young 15 and wasn't too high up in the society. Though he is advanced for his age in the field compared to the avg. person in the study of Geomancy.
He has developing fighting skills and has got a major boost from the gauntlet he found in the cave he ventured through.. it seems as if Slime guided him to that, which makes wielding an axe way to big for him no problem.
Slime's origins are pretty much unknown and its abilities can be improvised with. It seems to be magma elemental (if that's even an element heheh).

What Lijj!
But you did so much for your character!

boss lijj :D
please do post before you go :D
we'll be waiting for you have a safe trip :D

NOTE: The following is what I feel on the matter.  If other people think differently, feel free to voice your opinions.

...Yeah. Most, if not all, of that could probably be answered with "use your judgment", but before I join anything--if I joined at all--with regards to this, for the most part this would be stuff that I'd like to know about.

You took the words right out of my mouth, but if you insist...

6. Overarching antagonist, obviously.  For example, given Kanth's beliefs, he'll likely try to harm every other player on the field, but he's not the motivation behind the plot.  Thus, I can't have Kanth trigger volcanic eruptions with the blink of an eye, or something equally stupid.

5. Technically, both.

5a. I think Dokurider and Lijj reasonably covered this in combat.  Units past a certain period of expiration cannot be revived and units having taken mutilation levels (entrails falling out, missing limbs) of damage, even if revived/healed by Raise/Cure, cannot live for long (though obviously necromancy is another matter).

4. It obviously depends on your character.  Kanth, for example, would not be able to replace his equips (nor would he really want to).  Someone like Mirthean, on the other hand, could easily replace his gear given his money and connections.  Of course, your reputation and your character's various skills factor in here as well.  You can try raiding corpses, but remember that you can't carry everything.  This isn't an RPG where you have a storage cube that carries 500 weapons or something.

3. So you're summoning something into real life that did not exist before with sheer magical power?  It's your call how you'd want to play it, just as long as it's balanced.  (Personally, I'd go for an "upkeep" for each second the construct remains in place that eventually exhausts your character so you can choose between an army for a few seconds or one construct for half an hour.  The dead construct = mental damage aspect works as well, especially if you need to temper the costs on some of the more broken constructs.)

2. It depends on your character.  Kanth is a boy, and thus, isn't going to know everything Kanth the Sage (his future self) would know.  Ditto with Taichii and Mira.  Just know that there's a sliding scale; in general, the more potential your character has, the less you should start them with high levels of skill (and probably there should exist some level of diminishing returns on learning increasingly more complex stuff).
This also depends on how you see the learning of "skills".  Is it discrete (Level 1/2/3), or is there a continuous progression (honing a craft) between skill to skill?  Do different skills require radically different techniques or are things simply the progression of the same kinds of themes?

2a. Depends on how you play it.  Just as another personal example, I was going to use Syver, Kanth's adopted sister who is a BlueMage/Geo.  In terms of character design, she should have her full set of powers, but what I had fall under Blue Mage and Geomancy was enough to make her nearly invincible so she wasn't chosen.  If Blue Magic is more limited under your circumstance, such a full set could be fully conceivable.  Or, of course, you can make such a player a novice (with great potential).  In either case, manipulate the story however you see fit; just be aware you aren't the only one.

1. Write it however you feel would be the best way for others to understand based on your best judgment of your audience.  If something's unclear, we'll ask you.  However, if you really want to follow FF canon, do recall that Ivalice is only the worlds of FFT/FFTA/FFTA2/FFXII.

1a. There's no reason why you MUST, but generally, most people (furries not included) tend to be better at RPing as humans.  Also, as the default race, humans tend to be far less stereotypical than other FF races (giving you more room to maneuver).  When I last did this RP, I was two mogri brothers, neither of whom were fighters.
As for having the skills of another race on a human?  Considering how human summoners were deleted from FFTA and given only to Veira only for human summoners to exist in FFT, that's probably not a problem unless you're being overpowered.  Plus, the time period of this story is before the extinction of the moogles in Ivalice but after the loss of technology like airships so you can assume that "lost" (relative to Ramza's era) techniques (of any race) should be rare, but not yet extinct.  Please though, no high-tech BS.

1b. Yep.

1c. Like I replied on Question 2, this depends on your character.  Jobs may not be your organizing theme.  To give an example, Corsa (who I also considered for this RP), by virtue of her training with a Coral Sword, has the following:
Stun (on contact with metal, can be used as a counter)
Magnet: Deflect (vs. Iron/steel projectiles only, nearly useless at point blank, effect caps off to a set amount of deflection at long distance--effect is upgradable)
Discharge (Essentially a forced weapon proc)
Lightning Rod (Charged except in thunderstorms, calls lightning from the sky in protective fashion--upgrades to Lightning Stab)
Bolt (Strength is variable, can be charged or instant, though pointing the sword at target focuses power more effectively than her hands--upgrades into Chained Bolt)
Notice, in this setup, the organizing principle is the use of electricity, not a job class.  Personally, I find it more rewarding to create a synergistic skillset rather than one that's just X class + Y class + Z class.  This way, it's easier to see what skills should be learnable (and which ones shouldn't be), making it easier to set limits on power.

1d. No, because this is meant to be more than just scenes of combat.  As thus, if you have a drastically different personality/history/perspective, it doesn't matter that you have the same job/combat role in the "party".  Heck, the two of you may not even be in the same party; stories like this are supposed to allow for PvP as well.

VERY WELL SAID XD

Anyways, thanks for reading our RP, Damned. I didn't think anyone outside of whoever was actually playing was reading this. What do you think of it so far?

On another note, my internet at home crapped out, so I'll be absent for a little bit.

Hey I have a suggestion you guys. Whenever we use Talk Skill from now on, encase them <like this>, so we know when you are doing it. That way, you can be sneaky about using it.

Taichii, those people on the pass, you don't think they are the cult, do you?

Speaking of revival, I think that is a very interesting subject in the world of FFT I'd like to explore one of these days. See, I imagine that soldiers are conditioned to revival by being killed over and over again in basic training, so that they can continue fighting just after they have just been brought back. I imagine in basic training, instead of having to give push ups for failing, the drill sargent just kills you. Over and over again, until you're use to dying.

XDD i think they are...
remember what they worship? and what fdc's pet is? :D

Then don't get ahead of yourself. They can't move that fast. You flew there, and they have to travel there piled into chocobo pulled carts like it was the goddamned circus. It's going to take at least a whole day of travel for them to get there. I remember perfectly, like I said, don't get ahead of yourself.

LOL doku.. what did i do wrong?

Quote from: Taichii on March 22, 2012, 12:49:47 pm
LOL doku.. what did i do wrong?

All I'm saying is, it's going to be awhile before the cult arrives. Just sit back and rest for a bit. The only time you've rested since the start was when I knocked you out.

alright... im waiting for boss lijj's r ryqo's post :D
i have plenty of time to spend in jail anyways :D XD

Quote from: The DamnedThat or that they would need such heavy modification as to only be those classes in name only? (Like Dokurider's illusionist, but in reverse.)

Hmm...

*looks up Illusionist on the Final Fantasy Wiki*

*it's just some class that hits everyone on the field*

They didn't even try, man. I understand something approaching a true Illusionist skillset would be difficult to code and implement, but this is just embarrassing. They couldn't have just renamed it? F-

Are you all lucky today? Me and st4r's post is actually not that long for once.

I think Clayton should have been madder than he was.

my hardrive crashed.. i disassembled the cpu and reassembled it... wew...  its working for now.. but the one i've been editing for an hour ago... its lost ...

but the other one was saved (but i am really disapointed bec, the other one was more awsome-r) :(
well here it is. the other side..

I'm sorry, Dokurider, but I cannot resist:
Next time Clayton needs a date, he can always

so how's everyone? XD

Clayton just takes a walk today.

Hey guys I'm on vacation and forgot to tell everyone I left. So I can still post it just I'm on my iPhone so there maybe errors. Also mirth I'll send you my post of what we both say and you can edit it.

hihi nothing much,, just a brief planning and resting :D
trying to avoid too much time warp :D

Dorter's a trade city There are no walls, but the guards have the city surrounded and have patrols everywhere.

EDITED:Well nvm I will need to get to a computer to fix it. My iPhone won't let me scroll to fix it.

Doku, Kanth has about a 2-3 hour head start on Johan.  In short, if Johan were to follow him to Zirekile, it would be late afternoon.

Guardians are basically mini-Anisuasors. They can kind of tap into the dark faith magic the cult has.

True, but the point is, they can't spare the time hunting you down right now, even if you ended up going exactly where they're going. They don't know where you're going.

Well, I finally got a chance to fix the post. I just hope we are not to late to hunt Taichii down.

lol.. Nao you're against me XDD
must've been influenced by mirth :p
alright i'll make a post and post it tomorrow :)

Well you got half of that right. I'm hunting you down, but I didn't say was going to attack you, but who knows.

QuoteWe're going to eat dinner once we get around Bethla Garisson... My dad told me a secret path where a dam used to be..."

Used to be? You're aren't referring to when Ramza opened the sluice gates? Because this all takes place BEFORE the War of the Lions. And even that dam was guarded. Bethla Garrison isn't just called impregnable because it won't put out.

:D
after talking in IRC there done :D
this happened reeeallly long waaaay before ramza's time LOL

You got the burgers, stakes, hot dogs, and marshmallows ready? Because I'm bringing the fire and brimstone, baby.

Cockroaches is the derogatory name for Poison Ninjas I just came up with. It's pretty appropriate considering how hard they are to kill and how disgusting they can be.

hohohoho time to post.. XD

My god Doku, Clayton is crazy!

^THAT

and also.. there might be new RPers to join us :3
nyt ffh o/

Lets see if I have this correct..

Name: Quint
Age: ~24
Personality: A brutally honest person, his mouth gets him in trouble a lot. He's generally happy, since he feels fighting brings out the best in him, but talking about the pendant he wears changes that demeanor in a flash, suddenly becoming distant.
Appearance: Black hair, cut very short. Black shoes, forest green pants. Usually doesn't wear a shirt unless the weather says otherwise, then he's wearing a black jacket that covers his arms, but keeps the front open.
History: A boy born to a poor family, Quint has always tried to work hard for his parents and sister Sierra. He would have a girl in his early adult years, and  their love was seemingly unbreakable, until she and their love were destroyed by a creature most thought was a fairy tale, and others who knew the truth feared. Finding a job as a monk that mirrored his way of going about life (In your face and physical), Quint travels the world to find the one creature that brought his world literally crashing down around him, Bahamut.

A skinny person, but don't let his lack of massive muscles fool you. From the solid black shoes to the deep green pants and a shirt that would get mention, if he ever wore it, Quint is a person who's a little too serious most times. His body is solid while still being lithe, able to stop on a dime and stop a man in his stride with a single well executed strike.

A fighter of hand and foot, blood and bone, Quint has always enjoyed using just his body, working manual labor jobs throughout his teen years. Though most of his friends growing up became knights or marksmen, his passion was with the fist. Over the years he would hone his skills, finally graduating and becoming a monk. Though here he's only just starting out, he is eager, angry, and the type of brave most people call stupid. He trains for one reason, to hunt monsters, testing himself and the world. Fighting people, even those who might say they'd kill you can be reserved, there are some things a person just wouldn't do. An animal is a whole different beast, able and willing to claw an eye out or kick you in the teeth. They have no remorse, they don't think about you as a person. You are a threat to an animal if they are willing to fight, combat wouldn't end at the first knockout like with most fights with people.

He'll never tell anyone about why he's trying to kill the king of dragons, Bahamut, but a small black necklace with a bat shaped centerpiece is pulled out every time he thinks he's a step closer to that battle.. Bahamut is an immensely powerful dragon, filled with an ancient strength that would be lost by Ramza's time, but was that thanks to Quint?

It's all in the name of getting even.

Looks good to me, maybe a tad more info.
Check out my character post or dokurider's, a format like that would be nice for information.

Quint can speak goblin??? Great first post otherwise.

The leader goblin knows -some- human tongue.

A little more info? Okay, editing now.

very good first post ;) im ol on irc ryt now if you have questions

My Friends, Fans, Children (I hope I don't have any right now), and others!
I keep my one post a page for the RP goal up by posting today!
I shall be working later, tomorrow shall suit well, to continue working on the piece.
Please be patient I know how giddy you fans get. The piece of art shall be done soon ^-^
Till then I bid Adieu

Well guys, I'm making sure I get this sheet of text ready to be post, but I'm waiting for Mirthean to get his part into the post.

I went back and edited my post based on feedback I received. Thank you very much those of you that gave feedback, or enjoyed it!

The cult finally makes it to Mt. Zirekile!  And no, they aren't anywhere near Zirekile Falls, or by any main source for any bodies of water, like, oh say, a magical geyser/ water jet.

Hi so I'll be joining y'all now.

I bring with me . . .

Vicky
She's grew up in the slums of Dorter.  She never knew her mother or father, her earliest memories
were of digging through heaps of garbage looking for a scrap of food.
She was a naturally quick girl and took easily to pickpocketing.
Her earliest police record reports her as 9 years old.

She started to learn white magic at the age of 12 when she was enrolled in a monetary.
After being picked up a record number of times the police brought her to the church and asked them
to set her straight.
Vicky was happy to finally find a place she could call home.
Eventually she made it to the top of her class.
One day the Head of the church came to her.

~"My child, I notice you are gifted with the white arts and have reformed your ways.
We would like to send you out on a mission . . ."
Her mission was to seek out a local gang lead and assassinate him.

By the time Vicky was 18 she was known as the best bounty hunter the church had known in a hundred years.

~"We must have a chat again my child. . . 
You have been faithful to Ajora and the Teachings.
You have redeemed your sins.
You are now free to leave the monetary and start your own life."

It was not a request, as much as a command.  The next day the escorted her from the property and left
her on the street.  Once again without a home Vicky found herself falling back to her old ways.
Years later, nothing had changed. . .She was still a thief, but she had her own morals and code of
ethics.  As a cunning young woman she was able to get ahead in life with relative ease, but kept to
her way of life.

One may note certain typographical errors in my current post; 'bad mans' for example. I assure you, these are entirely intentional. Though I am not writing in first person through Anita's eyes, I am still attempting to infuse a bit of her perspective into the narration.

While you were gone, Taichii, an entire battle happened.

yeah.. i quickly felt guilty :I
i'll post a good one at the next post :3

i hope the way i cover past events in my posts the way i am . . .i can stop if it's too confusing

Wow. I had to get my laptop fix and this happens. I'll try to keep up.

Just fixed my last post. Added some much needed detail.

/join #desperation

^YEY! XD

Tonight, I shall explain the Poison Ninjas' special innate, Poison Null.

So basically, all it does is that all poison damage up to a certain point is ignored/rendered to 0 damage. So the status Poison wouldn't do anything to them because it only deals 1/6 damage and the threshold is higher than that. As a result, Poison Ninjas can be and are always Poisoned. It also stops poisons that add status from working unless they are above a certain concentration, so they can walk through smokescreen without getting Blinded. The purer the breed of Poison Ninja, the higher this threshold gets to be. There are items that imbue this effect, but it obviously has a lower threshold. If a poison attack goes over the threshold, the damage will be reduced, but not by a whole lot.

Any questions?

So if anyone else wants to create a character in the cult that'll last longer than a post, now would be a good time to hop aboard.

EDIT:

anyway this is not required.. but it is interesting though you can see how it got linked.
:D

As Taichii readies himself in front of the mirror for another day of looking handsome and smoking in between his job of taking pictures of cosplayers and random women and posting them all over FFH IRC, suddenly, a brick goes flying through his window, landing behind him. When he manages to break his gaze from his own reflection and turns his attention to the brick, he sees a folded note attached to the brick:

QuoteDear Taichii and concerned company:


It has come to our attention that you have killed four of our members. Now that is not a problem in and of itself. In fact, this is expected outcome when heroes collide with monsters. We build up heroes and we serve that role proudly. However, the relationship between man and monster is a give and take kind of relationship. We do not ask for much; no tributes of money, power, high grade cocaine, or anything like that. All we want is respect, and that means our inevitable clashes should be battles, as in there should be a struggle involved.

That means the slaughter of our members is strongly frowned on and is considered bad form. We are not wildlife and we are not cattle. We have fought and preyed on humanity on a regular basis since the dawn of time. We have evolved to counter and exploit the tactics and weaknesses of man. Simply put, we are not pushovers and we do not take being disrespected lightly.

The members that were slaughtered were Juravis. They've had a difficult time in reestablishing their image, thanks to the initial release of Final Fantasy Tactics. In the original version of the game, the only move they could use on their own was Scratch Up, a very basic attack-type move. This was due to a combination of creative disputes and difficulties in time management. They have since gained a proper set of attacks to better serve them. But to this day, they are still very defensive about their reputation and will strive to ensure that no one gets the wrong idea about them.

So when they heard about the circumstances of how four of their members were destroyed, they were quite displeased and set out to head off a potential misconception. They knew a direct attack on Mr. Taichii himself was ill advised, so they sought to attack the Blade and Scythe organization in hopes of sending a message to all heroes in the world of Ivalice. They were to only kill 8 members of the Blade and Scythe, but the members conducting the raid got carried away and killed quite a few more. As compensation, the Blade and Scythe and all associated will be exempt from any future ambushes for a yet to be negotiated period.

We cannot approve of one sided slaughter of our members, but at the same time, we do not wish that every encounter between monsters and heroes to be potentially deadly for the heroes. We work with heroes to accommodate their skill levels and personal needs. All we want is to maintain an image of menace and dread. If we let our image go to the wayside, our livelihoods will be jeopardized, as well as the status of being a hero. We monsters serve a crucial aspect in the journey of a hero. Without us, much of the danger of traveling around Ivalice is diminished greatly and the hero's journey loses much of it's appeal and excitement. Our role is, has been and will be very essential to the development of heroes.

There are exceptions to the rules and each suspicious incident is reviewed on a case by case basis. Many factors are taken into consideration. For instance, ambushes initiated by the monsters themselves can be killed more readily. But in general, we do not approve of dying without a struggle. Juravis may be the 1st tier monsters, but they are by no means pushovers and they are not walking thanksgiving courses. They have taken direct hits from Holy Explosions and not only lived to talk about, they continued to push the assault. They have taken on entire squads of soldiers, and won. They are only fragile for monsters: their vitality rivals that of the strongest humans and they can certainly take more punishment then those ninjas in Dorter. If you wanted food, there are plenty of pheasants and ducks out there that will supplement your dietary needs.

We look forward to working alongside you and all heroes. Each time we encounter one another, we push each other to become better heroes and better monsters. But we also demand respect. We do not expect to take up a hero's time in fighting us, but it must be understood that we are as big a threat as any human. Do not underestimate us. We are strong. Humans are weak. You have twigs for bones and baby flesh for muscles. You are an insignificant speck compared to the wrath of Nature Corrupted. You have more weaknesses than you can ever know. Fail to heed this letter and we will be more than willingly to help you understand just why we are called 'monsters'.

We hope we do not have to send another letter of this nature again. May this letter find you in good health. Condolences to the Blade and Scythe. Good luck for the rest of your journey.

Sincerely,

World the Malboro of Dolbodar, Hero Service Representative
Department of Hero-Monster Relations
Monster's Union

i teared up a little :")

Hmm, I sensing that the Odyssey is starting to influence me writing somewhat...

very well said doku :D
where will you go next?

Hey, just popping in while I got a couple seconds to say that I'll be posting soon, been so busy its retarded, luckily I got today off..

In Desperation, Silence is a status that removes the ability for words, thoughts, feelings and other internalizations to trigger magic spells. You are still allowed to talk freely and otherwise communicate, but otherwise, you simply cannot cast spells. Think of it as removing the trigger from a gun. You can pull the trigger as much as you'd like, but that gun is simply not going to fire.

It seems this is how Final Fantasy in general treats Silence, ergo it should be how Desperation treats Silence. A prime example of this in action is in FFIX, when Dagger is rendered mute by the events in the game. She is not talking and completely silent, but otherwise perfectly able to cast spells (aside from the occasional failure caused by her failing to concentrate).

To remedy this definition with the classic definition of Silence, I propose a new status called Mute. Mute actually renders you unable to talk or in fact communicate at all. That includes no acting out stuff, no drawing, no writing, no singing or dancing. Unless words are a specific requirement for incantation, i.e, Talk Skill, Mute does not interfere with spell casting at all.

I support this definition because currently, out of all the magic users in the RP, only st4r says chants with his spells aloud. If we were to go with the traditional definition, it would have a minimal effect on this RP. While what mechanics from FFT is ultimately up to our digression, the tradition definition would make it's effect irrelevant to this RP barring a complete and utter recon to everyone's spells and abilities.

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, shuffle off and deal with it speak now, before some serious silence action goes down in the near future.

Heavenly wind, carry us to a fountain of power! Esuna!

VENGEFUL RED LIGHTNING, TOAST MY ENEMIES INTO ASHES!
CREZ ULTIMUS!

hoho then what about don't act?
so mute is just a mini version of dont act? :)

don't act is its own status effect. Mute targets the speech, don't act targets the bodies movement.

Okay I changed my mind, Traditional definition of Silence is perfectly fine. We just all need to respect the chanting aspect of casting magic in the future, myself included.

in my opinion.. its okay to speak.. speaking is not magic... casting is.. lets just put it how silence works... we cant speak try and try to cast out things... but it wont generate for example.. if i cast crez ventez... and throw my scythe towards the enemies..
the scythe will only be thrown  but no lightning would ever generate it would be better and more expressive..
and speaking is not magic.
if having another status like mute will let speaking allowable when silenced. then i would agree to mute.

Hey guys I'm back my computer at home lost firewall some how so i couldn't do anything, but now since i got a laptop im back.

I've said this before:
Your "magic" can be silenced (like WM/BM/Summoner) or not (like Geomancy/Draw Out).  From a RP point of view, the latter is a far better storytelling tool, but if you feel like you need the first, go ahead and use it.  If anyone is concerned this unfairly disadvantages people who stick with "traditional FF" magic, we can simply have status effects like Addle that block all skills rather than Silence.

yes yes sixe .. let's do  that..
i've talked to doku and we can also call addle as silence..
and silence as mind fog... IIRC XD

i have edited the most recent post again...
did some minor changes.. anyway.. how are you guys? :D

It's good to be back to writing again.

I know what you mean @.@

lol dont lose hope star.. if something gets lost, its okay just to make even it a summary :)

quint / <future character>

XD

I think you can add another character to that list. Part 1.

Wait, what?

Are we supposed to have two characters?

dyna blade its up to you actually. haha it is allowed though :)

No, it's just after the fact excuses to cover for an anime word salad title.

BOOM! New post!
Dramatic change in story? Maybe...
All I have to say is, why the heck is she staring into the moon... Isn't that said to make a human go mad o.o

haha but is she human though?
damn i love to stare at moons :3

Human? Yes she is.
Although if one is mad, how can they become mad?

this is sparta :3

I thought this was Ivalice. Darn, and here I thought I read the first post clearly this time.

guys.. there's a 3 day sale on our store X_X
sorry because i'll be a bit busy until wednesday...
you can all go ahead and post your posts even without my post...
i'll come back and post this wednesday or tuesday.. im sorry again please understand~~

Sorry about the lack of activity everyone. This month has been very depressing for me.

Man this last two updates just feel so awkward to me.

we understand doku :D

"The wolf does not strike until he is close, and the scythe does not harvest until the wheat is golden"

well thought about doku XD

Eh I give it a 2/10

lol stop acting cool XD

I stand by my statement

That was going to be the last post for awhile. I have to take off for another funeral tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back. Stay out of trouble while I'm away, kids.

I am not a kid!  :P

haha okay ryqo your turn XD

Due to thinking, and learning that a player left, I'm changed my last post.

As you may or may not know, my life has basically self destructed in the past 30 days. My most important people in my life just died within a month of each other and me and the rest of my family is left picking up the pieces. Needless to say, I have even less time to devote to RPing then ever.

In fact, I can no longer handle Desperation in its current form. I simply cannot devote the time needed to produce the material at a reasonable pace. I cannot maintain the complex and textured stories I originally wanted to take on. Yes, the responsibilities I took on have suddenly become too much for me to handle.

However, this does not mean we cannot RP together anymore. In fact, I would love to be able to continue to RP with you guys. I can continue if our story becomes much more unified and streamlined. What I would like to propose is that we reboot Desperation.

Basically, we will just start all over again with the same characters and some settings adjustments and an emphasis on having one united party. I would feel only mildly inconvenienced by starting over again because we honestly never made that much progress in the story to begin with. Furthermore, all of us have made serious and numerous mistakes in our writings up to this point. People have came and went and our current story scope has become too massive for us all to realistically handle.

Whatever you all decide, just know that I cannot handle the same amount of current responsibility I have placed on myself anymore and will be scaling back my participation either way. Understand that I have come to enjoy your companionships and I don't want this to be where I have to leave you guys, which is why I'm proposing a reboot. Either way, I will support and respect your decisions. Please discuss.

I'm for anything

        I'll elaborate my thoughts on this more.

        I think the story is good where it is, although there is a problem with posting, there hasn't been much posting for quite a long time now. A reset would be nice, although I'm not quite sure how everyone being together from the start will work out very well. I think at the very least if a reset was to occur then we would have to get in smaller groups like we did earlier on and either try to get into a bigger group, or change your groups up. An example would be when Mother, McCloud, and Clayton split up, they would have gone off and got into a smaller group. so basically we need to regulate groups of people and try to keep everyone grouped together.

i agree st4r but we have to understand that people who rp in this thread are also facing some IRC problems and they might be busy in real life so we should understand that :D

So what do you think, Taichii? Should we restart?

hmmm.. alright then. so for me... taichii, i'll prolong the battle on the hallways until ryqo posts.. and i'll post about Rai and ardin right after your next post..

so pattern...

1. taichii
2. (ryqo) or dokurider
3. taichii
4. st4r or dokurider
5. dokurider or st4r
6. ryqo

so everyone has double post except for ryqo cause she only has anita :D oh wait i forgot about her other character... and dynablade seemed to haave not posted for so long? so here....

So, you're going on without me then, Taichii?

Seems he wants to continue this

no doku, i'll just prolong everything on my side until you come along on rai's side.. i will prolong my battle as well on the halls on taichii until ryqo comes.

Did you not read this post? (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8327.msg181344;topicseen#msg181233)

oh sorry >_< i didnt daw that
wait. let's talk about it on irc

OKAY SO...
we're going to issue a reset... except for my characters (and i hope ryqoshay will go with me as well but... i dunno yet so.. )
this will be the last post on the 2nd generation
we can still post our OOC threads here though for the 3rd generation.

erryday i'm locking

EDIT: oops, got too busy this week; was supposed to unlock this topic earlier.

Thanks !

thank you guys. my idea on this is.. im going to put the info on the new desperation (st4r's post) on the first post of this thread. we dont need to start a new thread for that :) this will remain i hope thank you. i will be on mibbit but only for an hour :)

That was part one. I'll have part two up later. Tell me what you think, guys.

that was great :D
finally we heard from you i hope we can hear from ryqo and fdc as well :))
anyway... doku, when shall i post rai's fall? after your part 2 or have you added it in between? :)

Okay Taichii, do your thing.

gotcha ;)

fyi, it's still daylight out. It's just really dark in the Dark Woods.

So i can join into Desperation - A new beginning, by just posting my character(s) info here? And then just... Joining in? (New to this RP stuff, but I really want to try  :) )

Yes, just post your character info in this topic. Speaking of character sheets, the rest of us have to get on top of that as well..

Anyways, there are currently two parties forming that will converge into one. St4r's and one of Taichii's characters and mine and Taichii's other characters. Pick a party that you would like to join up in.

hello jumza :D always glad to see new faces around here ^_^
your welcome to join the despearation - a new beginning :)

and doku as for the character sheets.. i'll update them on the first page...
please do reply and point out  if i have some mistakes a little later..

EDIT: done fixinf the first post here and editing my night - day post at the new beginning

Alright here we go!

Name - Ryan

(before I put info about where he was born or whatever etc... are we in Ivalice again? or did restarting the story change the geographical location?)

Weapons - Staff, Rod, Book

Armour - none really, just clothes.

What is he? For lack of a better term, Ryan is a Runekeeper, his magic would look similar to that of Rafa or Malaks (but is in no way the same) other than than the runes appearing when he casts spells, not much else is different about him when compared to most magicians, except that he can use most common magics.

He wears a blue cloak (similar to black mages), and does NOT like hats at all, so you can see his face.

Usually oblivious to things going on around him that do not directly influence him in some way (so if there was a battle going on, that he needn't take part of, or is not forced to take part of, he may ignore it completely and possibly fall asleep) He gets tired fast when bored.

So yeah, thats pretty much it! I guess I'll start as soon as I know where this thing takes place. Uhm for party choice... I guess... The one with doku in it, (chosen at random thanks to eeny-meeny-miny-mo!)

Yes, our reboot has brought us to an original world. It has nothing to do with Ivalice or FFT, nor will it be following it's rules or customs (sadly IMO, but it was probably for the best). It also has a magic system that we've yet to explain.

Basically, the magic system maybe a familiar one to you. Magic is divided into three sects, the Divine, magic provided by the gods via worship, Geomancy, magic provided the world itself, and the Arcane, magic provided by Demonic forces and the like. In terms of what each can do, Divine tends to be the strongest, but has the most restrictions, pretty obvious when it requires pleasing gods and other higher forces. Geomancy is the weakest, but has the most freedom, being just natural energy. Arcane magic has both strength and freedom, but you're obviously dealing with demons that will probably screw you over eventually.

That's about the gist of it. I'm pretty sure your character's magic falls under Geomancy.

Cool! So Geomancy it is then, I'll be dropping in on this new world soon!

:) nice posting guys.... everything is spicing up... i like it ;)
ryqoshay~ we miss yoooouuuu~~~♥♥♥

st4r are you here?

Hi, yes

The Dark Forest is a few day's travel long to the nearest *friendly* village. So we haven't even begun traveling in these woods. Hopefully, you find your way back to us, Reks. Anyways, sorry about that initial delay in posting. Arena had completely taken up my free time.

heads up guys :)
happy new year n_n
okay get back to posting!!! >:) WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA XD

Hahaha
Happy New Year Taichii

im sorry guys... work is really eating up most of my time. and im afraid i wont have time for ffh and other online stuff anymore :/
T_T
what should we do on the desperation?

We should continue it! If you have no time for it, then maybe someone can pick up Taichii for you? Desperation desperately needs to continue ^_^

I think it ends here. Ryqo is done, as even she said herself that she hasn't written anything in months, FDC is ridiculously busy with his multiple hacks (contrary to what he might say and think), I dunno if Reks and Jumza are interested in continuing, and even I would have trouble rationing out time to resume Desperation, given that I'm about to go on a serious life transition. Taichii was the engine that drove Desperation, and without him, the RP is just, out of gas.

I would be up for it if everyone else was, but without some key players the story really falls apart.

Same as Jumza, though I'm always eager.

Coluld try to start something new, but after a while you'd have to factor in that i'll be going underway and may not be able to post for a couple of days between posts.
