Marcus does have the advantage of having been played in an RP I hosted so I do know the character pretty well lol. On a last note for the Final Signature... hmmm... that is a toughie. Cause it is a Pooooooooowerful effect like... damn. It totally makes sense and I get what you are going for. ((Cause Lumabella did bring him back once etc...)) I will really have to think on it. Like it is one that Imma have a tough time on to be very frank lol. -
It's fine lol. It happens ya know? And yea... I don't think I quite realized it at the time either Murdoc lol. It might need some changing after all. ((apparently even I can make mistakes... who knew?)). Though it might be easy to fix, just having it be some land locked rival house. Nobles fought over land all the time especially in the Olden days of Graterras.

And we are back to the Lal Avvie. Cause, I like it. ((and the character.)) Sue me.

@Exlink, while I think it is a pretty good backstory... perhaps drop the scale a bit. I don't mind villages or small towns etc... that sorta of stuff, but whole Kingdoms are sorta hard to justify in some way that they existed at some point and have never been heard of or have had no real importance in the world of Graterras. So... it is a bit weird to have a Kingdom crop up for one character to come form, but never be heard of ever again. So, while like the overall direction etc... of your backstory, dropping the scale to maybe that of a village's size would be best. ((Like maybe instead of an entire Kingdom, it is just a small village and rather than Princes of an entire Nation [which would somehow have to be fit into Graterras... which is rather hard to do since I know my world's Nations already lol.] they just be the heirs of some Village chief etc.)) I'd just prefer people not create entire new Empires/Nations in my world. Small clans, villages, towns etc, not much an issue. Entire Nations? Bit over-reaching lol. Keep in mind All of the Nations of Graterras are Island Nations. There just isn't room for any other ones to exist.

I mean, of course it is still accepting sign-ups. THe IC is a bit of a ways off and this is a PvP based team based affair. As you will note... each team has four ???? slots. I intend to fill as many with players as possible and the rest will be NPCs that I create in a similar fashion to you folks. and @ Notus, I dunno man. It will probably be pretty fast paced at first when it does get up because it is a bit PvP based... those sections at least I perceive to go pretty quickly. I can explain more how things will be set-up once things get into action but for now going to have to leave you in the dark. I do have pretty easy ways of disposing of PCs in the Clash of Fates however... as it's host is a bit...interesting to say the least. You'll meet him soon enough.

What Does Your Name Mean?
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Darvan Korematsu's topic in General Discussion
I've explained my before as well. But uh... it was at first because I typo'd Hakuna and didn't realize it, but I liked the corruption and just stuck with it ((since it was easy to get for a username spelled wrong lol.)) to explain the whole of it though. Hukuna is part of Hakuna Mattata, quite a Wonderful phrase, that ain't no passin' Craze. It means no worries for the rest of your days, It's a Proooooblem Freeeeeeeeee, Philosopyyyyyy!!!~ Okay... I'll stop XD. But I really picked it for that reason. I am a pretty care-free dude who just goes with the flow and I love the Lion King. ((I'd be Timon 100% though. Got a nice little bit of sass in me.)) Fulmine is part of a longer nickname of mine, Lupo di Fulmine, which means Wolf of Lightning. There is a long story behind it, that I don't tell very often since I got it from a group of friends of mine and it is sorta a personal thing between the whole of us so it is hard to explain out of context lol. -
"Very much indeed. Though... this Incident...The Pillar. I still can't help but wonder why it happened and for what reason. And furthermore, why certain people are affected and others are not." Viktor scratched at his beard. He really did ponder the thought for awhile. How vastly different the affects were on people. He could manipulate blood, quite well... to the point where he knew exactly how the human circulatory system worked just from using his power. And yet others had many different ones. Zeus and Poseidon both having much different abilities. "Hmmm... anyway, it is good to just relax every now and then. And settling down is nice... did it once. Have a kid somewhere out there, but probably won't get to see him again." he took a long drag of his cigar, letting loose another puff of smoke. He didn't mention his ex-wife often. That relationship... certainly went downhill. Went from getting two squads of his killed, to be out of work, to being a wanted criminal. No wonder she left. Probably poisoned the mind of the little one against him to. Not that he deserved to be in their lives. He hadn't been that great a father, always off at work, or something keeping him away. And he killed a man, no wonder she wanted nothing to do with him and wanted to keep him away from their son. He sighed audibly, as he leaned back in his seat.

"I am pretty sure most have at one point or another Artie. Power is a prospect most search for. Whether for good, or ill. To protect others, or all for themselves." Emberly said. For it was true... at least from her point of view. Most looked towards power... Layla's promise of it made it seem like it was at the tips of one's grasp. And Power was much sought after. You could do anything with enough of it, or so those that followed that line tended to believe. But, power wasn't everything. It certainly wasn't the only thing Laylite wanted to teach... Her own followers scorning the teachings they choose to follow. "So, yes I would believe it. It is the line that promises something everyone can understand readily. Faith, Luck and Reason... their values are much harder to see than that of Power. Power is the simplest of all Four. That is what makes it so tempting, that it can so easily be understood what it's purpose is. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in this very room did consider it at least once, even if for just an errant second. I know that I have not, but that is because Power isn't something I desire. There are things in this world that are much more potent... and important than just power."
-
What is an Ice Witch though? I mean... that concept doesn't really exist. ((you'd have to explain it I suppose. Also, nor do Cinder Knights really have any rules towards love etc... their order really could care less lol.))
-
It would entirely depend on the spell. But it takes a great deal of time considering on how powerful it is etc. Basically... You'd you have ask more specifically etc... Mind if I also ask what Forbidden Love Child means in your profile for your character as well? Cause... what does that mean?
-
By the way... Starting to add accepted characters to the list etc... if your character isn't there I haven't gotten to it quite yet... no worries lol. ((I am also waiting for those that do not have backgrounds to finish theirs etc before I look them over.)) I won't be adding people to teams yet however, that will be happening in game, so those will remain unfilled until then lol.

"Considering I have been tracking this creature the past few days... of course. There was a reason I came into town. There is a lot of beast activity in this area... this one more so then others. Though I am sure I don't need to tell a Protector about that now do I?" She kept fiddling with her zippo. "Hmmm... Quick to business... that at least is good. How reliable this one will be I don't know though. If her followers are to be counted... not very. Though they do seem to be very new to the job. Would the Protectors really give a Veteran a bunch of newly minted kids to train? I highly doubt it. They are a huge Organization, even if they tend to be fragmented they would never be that disorganized." Vixen thought to herself. She doubted how strong these Protectors really were, audibly sighing in disappointment. She could probably end all of their miserable existences right now if she wanted... before they had to witness the true horrors of this world. Save them from what being... whatever this was. But... they were already probably too deep. They were tracking... this creature after all. "Anyway, Who you are isn't important. This beast needs to be dealt with. I am willing to do so, but I need information as I am sure you need manpower. I am willing to work with you, but don't expect me to be friendly... I am not here to be your friend. I do my job and then I am outta here, no questions asked." She needed the no strings attached. It wasn't lucrative to be stuck with Protectors, especially if they found out who exactly she was. The Vixen of the Forest... The impossible to find. She who appeared only when she wanted to be seen. Hunter of Beasts... Preservers, Peacekeepers, Deviants, Loners and Protectors alike. She was the one who hunted the ones that said they protected Humanity... the ones more corrupt then the beasts themselves. It was a good way to make enemies, and a rather hard life to live.

"I didn't tell you, because I don't really care about my line honestly. Not that I don't think they might have had importance once... but they seem rather...unimportant these days, at least to me." Emberly remarked... while she was still holding her forehead. The pain had luckily dulled to the point it was bearable now, still hurt a bit though. Next time... keep an eye out for doorframes, even if you are late. "If you must know... My line is that of Kallistle. I would ask yours... but frankly I don't rather care that much. Lines don't hold significance, people should stop pretending they do. It isn't like I can stop them though, nor would I even try. They have the right to believe even if I do not." Emberly never was one to care about the lines or the Goddesses so to speak. While their existence probably once mattered or the lines once did something, to her they were outdated constructs left over to still corral people. She wasn't very fond of any of them... or those that put stock into them. However, she wasn't one to tell people that what they believed was wrong... because it wasn't for them. Each Person had their right to believe that which they wanted to believe. For it was the right answer for them. Emberly had her answer, but others had theirs. And no one person was wrong.

"Hmmm, I see. Sounds interesting, thoooooough I don't like reading much~. Too much..... paper." She looked more than serious saying that. Emberly has always had a weird aversion to paper... more specifically... Paperwork. She was just never found of long pages full of text that went on forever. Of course this translated to things like textbooks, and other things with a lot of words. But mostly Paperwork... cause ew paperwork... like really... ew. As such she didn't spend a hell of a lot of time reading no doubt. She tended to one for more physical activity... or lazing around doing absolutely nothing... It was nice doing nothing. No responsibilities, just time to ponder... and think about... well, stuff. She sat down next to Arturia. She was still... much taller than her and not anywhere near eye level. Not that Emberly was ever eye level with someone she was talking to... it'd be nice every once and awhile though. "Good to know the consistency is solid though. I hate when things aren't consistent... It doesn't make any sense otherwise. Things should be solid enough that you have a good footing but never so rigid to be locked in place, or so wishy washy that you don't know where you can stand. I dunno, just how I feel." She kept touching the nice bruise on her forehead. It hurt pretty bad though it could be much worse. She had given herself a concussion once from slamming into a door... Emberly slammed into doorframes alot on account many were not adjusted for a person of her height. Most People didn't get anywhere near as tall as Emberly did and therefore she always needed to stoop slightly to get through doors anywhere she went. It was... rather inconvenient to say the least. She noticed Arturia glance at it for a second... so she wondered if it was really bad. She hadn't until she thought about it, but now she was curious. She put her face closer to Arturia and asked "Uh... does this look bad to you?" She was pointing towards it with her hand... thoooooough it was likely she didn't need to.

"Hmmm, nothing much. Just that lovely feeling of takin' a stroll around town with a lady on your arm. You know? Or I would hope you know... be sad if a man of your age hadn't done it at least once." Viktor said with a manly guffaw. He tapped the cigar he was smoking on the ashtray sitting on a small end-table next to him. He took a swift hit, and let loose a big stream of smoke. "Nothing like a good meal too ya know. I do enjoy me some good dining. And a night under the stars. Does a man good, does a man good. Haven't felt this nice in awhile. After all causing the death of two squads under your command and then becoming a wanted criminal only to be reemployed by the government that was hunting your hide isn't typically seen as a good time." His face was dead serious during the last part. Until he started to laugh. "Ah... glad that shit is behind me at the least. Lost a lot of things because of it. Perhaps I might start getting some of it back. Perhaps my luck has changed."

I know me and Murdoc are... we set that on lock like suuuper early XD.))

Emberly... was late as always. She liked to say she was fashionably late, However... we all know that is just a poorly veiled excuse for being late and not wanting to explain. She arrived just a bit late. By now everyone was probably settled in and going about their business, Chatting away or something. Most people Emberly had no interest in talking to. All they ever went on about was her height for the most part. Tends to happen when one is freakishly tall... but it got rather old really quick. When it was all anyone saw. It was as if it was the one thing that defined her. The Freakishly Tall Girl. She was never too thrilled about that. She was much more than just tall after all. Of course this was all leading up to what Emberly would call "A Tall Moment." As she was locked on the thought of not wanting to converse with people since all they would likely mention... was how tall she was. Sadly, when thinking Emberly tended to space out. And When One as Tall as her spaced out... she tended to smack her head on door-frames. *THUD*, came a loud noise as Emberly bashed her cranium into the frame. Another loud thud came after she hit the floor. "Ow... This is why I hate doors..." the fiery-haired girl mumbled under her breath as she held the front of her forehead with a single hand. A throbbing pain pulsed all over her forehead. She stood quickly up though, trying to not make a scene. She quickly shuffled around the room looking for Arturia, the girl who was meant to be her partner. Luckily... one advantage of being tall was it was easy to locate others in a crowd. She could see over top the canopy of the furry trees, therefore it was easy to find the one she was looking for. She had no real interest of talking to anyone else for certain... at least not right now. She approached, quick... mostly cause she was still embarrassed as all hell from earlier. She kneeled down on her haunches that like... squatting position? You know what I mean. She did this mostly because standing over some one sitting down at her height...it was sorta hard to get a decent look at them without craning her neck in an nearly impossible angle. So she just lowered herself a bit. "Sooooo... whatcha readin'?" she asked to Arturia. "I know it is sorta ruuuude to ask that to someone who is...reading... but ah, I don't feel like talking to anybody else here." Emberly almost grumbled. She scratched the back of her head still a little embarrassed by the door incident and now interrupting Arturia while she was reading.

Hmmm... last TIme I posted was like 2 pages back... and I am not really sure how to put myself back in... so I might just drop. ((that and I kinda forgot how to play the character kinde... XD It has been like waaaay to long. I dunno XD))
-
Yep, I ahve seen it, was just waiting to get the fuuuuull picture. ((will probably work something up in a bit for it ya know?)). I am a bit slow on these matters sometime folks... just going to have to bare with the good ol' Sensei while he does his thing XD.
-
I think it last left off with something Vixen said... but I don't remember lol. It is still hanging a bit though cause I remember that interaction not quite ending yet lol.
-
I am getting to it yet lol. I also trust you as a writer pretty much is why I put it off a bit since I assume I will like what I will eventually see. ((that and muuuuch reading. XD.)) So, I am getting to those that I haven't yet I just got a lot of stuff to look over. Especially since I really like to know people's intent etc behind choosing things which I get by reading all of the backstory etc... and I like to try and understand the essence of a character. ((which helps me to appreciate the abilities etc... and how they stem from that character's being. Cause... in Graterras, even if people aren't thinking about it 100%... the abilities they have are an extension of who that character is. It shows us HOW they fight... and how they choose to work their skills etc... and what they choose to focus on. He personality and backstory fill in the why. With everything else filling in the who, what's etc... so I like to consider everything as a whole. It takes me awhile to look over characters cause of this hope people understand that lol.))
-
It should be fine now. Anywho's... Imma head off to bed for today I think... Just real sleepy and lethargic. Will get to any other profiles etc tomorrow. ((and posting the remaining Divine Knight stuff lol.))

My only issue is... Combo attacks don't really work ((in reference to Dancing Blades)). Because how on earth is it enforced? I would rather it not be every attack require a new post to land... cause that is no good for the person using it, but I can't have 1 hit = the whole thing landing cause that really isn't any fair to the victim ((cause the don't get to do annnnnnything about it.)). There is no middle ground solution I can think of either which is the bigger issue. So, explicit combos can't really exist as one signature by themselves. It would have to exist in separate parts as different signatures and then you use them to chain them to combo ((cause then it works as above, the victim has a chance to be hit by one part and not be forced into being hit by all the rest of the pieces of the attack. They can have a chance to dodge/fight back in-between individual pieces of it.)) Sadly, that is the only way that can work so... Signature moves must be just that singular hits, or a flurry ((which would be many small hits that equal 1 basically. SO in essence the same thing.)). As an example with your current attack it would need to be broken in twain... and by that I mean it would need to be 2 different Signature moves. First being the flurry of one handed quick strikes. They would end up being like one action all firing off quickly in a short aobut of time. ((it goal to chip a the opponent or trip them up into lowering their guard etc..)) Then... the Massive swing would be another Signature move that one would try to take advantage of the confusion and hasty decisions the flurry caused. But they cannot both exist in the same attack. TL;DR: Keep you Signatures simple. It should have 1 clear function if it is an activated attack. "This attack does blank". It should -not- ever be "This attack does blank -then- does blank." There shouldn't be an progress of events within the Signature move itself. It should be an action that resolves itself and ends, not one that has a clear action that immediately leads into another action. ((Unless it is something like a counter-attack etc... if it is "Do this if blank condition is met", that is fine. It is still an action that resolves itself and it doesn't call another action into play.)) ^ that only applies to activated skills and some Toggle skills depending on situation... Just going to make that clear.
