If you are trying to get my approval for the characters, They seem okay for this kind of Rp, so approved...
Well, i explained in my post between Karasu's and yours.
Ravea took over and let us join in, so they are both their kind of, so i mentioned to make sure it was all right and they could stay. Thanks anyway.
I also gave a short summary if you missed it.

1. I am Deatharon or sometimes called Death for short. I originally started this Rp, It is a sequel for a Lich's Quest to create a soul Rp. The Lich Mavis was one of my original characters.
2.
I was having a problem with coughing, sneezing and kept getting a fever. I am now a lot better and am willing to start up were I left off.
3. My last post was the one where Mavis tortured the Elven Queen and she sent a message on the wind for help..
Edit: I see so that is why DMG sent me the TG to get me to notice this thread.
I guess I better set the scene for the Grand Shadow Empire...
Go ahead and take over again; now that you're back, we can have the plot moving again.
I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with this anyways.

There goes the Shadow Empire's defenses.....
The Shadow Empire for air protection has a rather large Black Dragon patroling the northern sky of the border.
The border would have Legion of Undead soldiers guarding the area in large patrols with customary necromancers powering them up.
The Ethereal plane would not have been protected. The Empire does not have much experience in the idea of using the planes to by pass security and only in the large cities do they have protection from that kind of intrusion.
Edit: Thanks Ravea for keeping the story going while I disappeared..

Yes, We have Ghosts but their not easy for the Empire to produce on a massive scale. It requires a great deal more necromantic energy to create creatures that are ethereal based as opposed to skeletons, zombies, and certain other more mortal based creatures. Ghosts, Shadows, and Devours are only based in large cities like Death Hold and Xhanthou.
Hey, Death (Congrats on Graduating).
I'd like to address a few things. While Ravea did 'take over' for you about a day ago, I don't believe he actually did anything - no harm, no foul. As for the defenses of the empire... yeah... our (my) bad. I said we should probably wait for you to return before continuing on into the empire, but then it was going to get really boring/die. So anyway, perhaps an explanation of why we encountered no trouble was that they let us in, in order to trap us... basically now comes a big ambush.

Zeratul is a character from the game starcraft. Instead of explaining it, I will just point you to a couple of links. Zeratul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeratul) is a Dark Templar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Templar).
Here is a picture of him (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c7/Zeratul_%28Starcraft%29.jpg). You will notice there is a green beam of energy coming out of the device connected to his hand. They are basically energy blades. (Called a Warp Blade)

20-06-2006, 23:25
The weapons of the dark templar from StarCraft II Brood War.
Or similar enough. Basic principle Hyper, they are just made out of psychic force rather than metal, since he's new to life, he would be quite clumsy with a sword/staff or bow, anything pretty much, so he improvised something that felt right using his psychic abilities.
To all intents and purposes it's a normal weapon, if he was 'disarmed' they they would just dissolve until he could take a moment to focus them back.
Nice pictures DMG, figures, i never actually looked for starcraft on wikipedia.

Actually, I believe if you search for Zeratul anywhere (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.) that is the same picture that comes up.
By the way, despite you basically take the character from Starcraft :P, I can't resist liking it so much (with your added touch, that is). And because I like your character, Ar'mai is going to like your character :D

It's in my character description on the last page, he was created rather than born, intended as a slave race, but things went a little wrong, he's wandering around trying to figure out life.
He knows how to speak the language and sounds respectful, since as a slave he would have to respect his masters, but doesn't know anything about much, e.g. money, hence why he has been chased from towns, he doesn't know what money is and they think he's a thief, not to mention the strange appearence.

Hello Death. Thank you for approving my character.
Thanks Kitab for helping me post the character.
Right.
Oh I like Zeratul in Starcraft as well. He's the anti-hero.
Are you kidding? Zeratul is the pimp of Starcraft. Fucking up the Zerg.
Kitab Al-Ibar
20-06-2006, 23:43
Zeratul just kicked arse
As i mentioned in an edit earlier, not sure if it was noticed, Blizzard has announced there making an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, if you had never heard that before) of Starcraft, though that could take anywhere from 2-6 years i guess. It would be awkward though, without kind of redefining the game, if youstarted as a sergling you would be nigh on screwed. :p
And as for making a psychic character, nows a good time, been flicking through a D&D guide for them (going to use one in a campaign), some of the abilities are hilarious, you can make enemies live in their own dream world or make them have suicidal urges.
Edit: Not that i plan to use some of these abilities. Just thought i would mention them.

Atari's rocked, i have one lying around somewhere, kind of broke when we last moved house, it fell out of a cupboard :(
I loved that thing, it was great. Still got a shoebox full of games lying around somewhere.
I played that Zelda once, twice maybe, couldn't get the hang of it, Ocarina of Time was a good one though, I regret selling it after i completed it, always wanted to play it again and it just doesn't feel right on the gamecube version.

Any problems with the terminology just ask. for example, Theao gave the RP description of 'Blink' in the IC thread a little while ago, if you wanted the simple one it basically gives a 50% miss chance as the user is constantly switching between two planes.
Xbox 360 has had a good idea, it has released all sorts of old games that you can download through Xbox Live, admittedly you have to pay for them. I played through Smash TV with a friend of mine yesterday, short game but so much fun.
My oldest console, apart from the broken amiga, is either a Sega Megadrive or a SNES, both great, i dig them out sometimes and play them again. We seem to have misplaced most of the games though. They had one complete advantage, some of those games could be snapped in half and with a bit of selotape, bang they work fine. Me and my brother were fighting and fell on one ages ago, it snapped in half, it worked fine though. Not many CD's can boast that ability. :p

I'm not going there yet, i was talking about what's going to happen in august.
I have some relatives there so we visit every year. Last visit was during the easter holidays, the holiday was good. The flight on the other hand... due to strikes in france we got delayed for 2 hours because they couldn't fly over, and then strikes in Milan delayed us for another 3 hours and our bags didn't follow us onto the plane, they eventually arrived 4-5 days later. We were doing a two part thing though, visiting a place called Bonito (Beautiful, aptly named) and then visiting our relatives, so our relatives picked up the bags, if we had got them sent to us it would have been a mess and we probably would have missed them.
I'm going back later in august on my own and returning on my brother's birthday :p

Your not useless, you just need to be creative, you have some fire jutsu you used to cook something in Clash, fire might work against them, or at least set any clothes of theirs on fire, which would be interesting, burn that vampires book, books in a battle are usually highly suspicious.

It's not that they are the only things that work, he also mentioned they are resistant to magic and half my psionics won't work either, i'm down to trying to hit hard, which anyone can do.

If acid won't work, how will fire? And do they not put themselves back together again? Also, Lich will likely put a barrier around them... it ALWAYS happens that way.

They don't put themselves back together, the others have crushed an army of them already, admittedly not ones this hard.
And as Theao said, Jutsu's would probably count on the same level as magic/psionics aswell
The devourers can 'regen' because they're leeching off the people inside them(at least I think that's how they work(so a substitution jutsu might be very effective)).

Kalzog said Acid wouldn't work...because they're undead...sure the skin may fall off, but it'll just improve their looks and give them the skeletal look. Maybe it'd dissolve their bones, but that'd be some highly corrosive acid, and the only one I can truly think about would take some time to melt :p
Fire? Well...dragon fire has been known to melt thousands of different things depending on the heat/ intensity/ duration of the blast...

I was told I could have no powers as I am a dragon, however I have no worthy powers as a dragon, so that sort of pisses me off. "You're a dragon so you can't have any other human powers. You have Jutsu powers so you can't have anything else." Well anyone I attack, always has a defense... a block or something. I can't put a dent in anything. I wonder why that is, that it always happens to my char, that every possible attack I have is blocked.
That is why I hate fights. I can't do anything and I was restricted from adding any more powers to my char, when what I have can do NOTHING.
I have to admit I am not happy that I was restricted to being a useless fighter... Deatharon, I don't mean you, however, since we were all using the same powers, I assumed I had to as well.
I was told since I had jutsu I couldn't have anything else. Well, funny that everyone has a way around ALL of them. I wasn't allowed magic, my so called lightening powers were nixed because I had jutsu...
I am just being restricted constantly to being nothing, and not by my own hand.:( Why does everyone else get useful powers, and mine are always shot down? And they aren't major powers... just lightening, etc. I'm not allowed magic, nothing... That goes for ALL the RPs Karasu is in. USELESS Char., all requests for something useful shot down by the one running the RP.
Balanite, there are five ways out of a Force cage, and smashing is not one of them.
It is not dependent on the mage to keep it active, it is self-sustaining. It CAN NOT be bashed out of.

She is not, and she is not in Clash. I am sick of not even being able to scrape an enemy, and all my requests for any sort of power that is useful have been denied.
I use acid, it doesn't even burn clothing, I slash someone to pieces, nothing happens, I create loads of copies that fight, nothing happens.
I am not allowed anything worthwhile, and my char is useless. You cannot deny it.

Yes I can. She is not useless. You may need to utilize different tactics to get her full potential, but she is powerful. She could wack my character fairly easily. She is an assassin, yet it seems like you're using her as(and expecting to get somewhere with) a tank character. Assassins are support characters(like mages, priests and archers).
As an assassin she is very good.

As Bal said, you nearly butchered his character. As I said, she could butcher mine(providing she got the drop on him of course). She could find some magick weapon which would make her more effective(Ie: A Fire tooth dagger(Magical fire), A Blackrazor sword(leeches life/strength from victems to powerup wielder), Short sword of the Mask(entangles victems in vines) ect)

This isn't another thread.
Hyper, I have to say, I am really getting sick of all this bitching. I apologize if this sounds a little harsh, but this is a common reoccurrence in most of your threads. You get annoyed because your character isn't the strongest in the thread and then say you are going to pull out because otherwise you can't do anything. Take the Clash thread, you wanted to pull out because your character wasn't on par with Inzikai... the strongest character in the thread. There are two things you need to understand about RPing. One, your character is never going to be as strong or stronger as the antagonist of the RP; that would make for an incredibly boring and nonexistent story. And two, RPing is not about winning... it is about the story.
You constantly say how your character is the weakest, when we know that is definitely not true. (I would put Ar'mai up way before Karasu). She could most likely defeat every one of our characters...
Shall we list her skills?
1) She can transform into a dragon the size of a town... I am not sure what the fuck can defeat that.
2) She can spit corrosive acid out of her mouth. Sure it isn't as great as being able to utilize magic, but it still can destroy shit. I don't believe Deatharon actually said it wouldn't do harm to the undead. It was an IC remark by Kalzog... not the creator or proprietor of the undead/thread. And by the way, their is acid strong enough to eat through bones...
3) She can use Jutsu, creating copies of herself and enemies. Creating twenty Karasus would be incredibly formative. Creating an exact copy of a powerful character that can use all of that character's abilities, is about the highest power you can have beyond God.
4) She is an incredibly skilled and fast assassin with untold potential.
Death hasn't even responded to what happened to your latest attack. As many others have said, you just have to be creative if you want to do well in a fight. Obviously he isn't going to go down in a single blow and I am pretty sure we all understand that this isn't the final battle. Try creating twenty clones of the Lich Mavis. Then if he starts using that negative energy spell to destroy the clones, just use it back on him... if it is strong enough to destroy his clones, it is strong enough to destroy him.
I apologize again if this sounds to harsh, but I felt for your benefit and the benefit of the RP, it needed to be said.
Bal, the devourer will be uber-jacked up(think Hulk on steroids) if it absorbs enought of the forcecage for it to disappate, which will make it interesting for your character.
I have probably alerted many of you to this already, but I figured I would make a post reminding everyone. I am leaving tomorrow (June 22nd) morning for a ten day trip where there is absolutely no chance I can use the internet (i.e. there is no internet there). I will be returning the night of July 2nd, but I will most likely be very tired and have a lot of threads to catch up on. I will do my best to catch up on as many as I can, but I won't promise anything. I have to get up early the next day, so I will probably only be on for a couple hours on the 2nd. Furthermore, I will be very busy on the 3rd, so I will most likely only be on for a couple of hours. On the 4th I will be traveling almost all day again. I probably won't be on that night as it is the 4th of July, but hopefully I will be back on the 5th (though I will have unpacking to do for the summer). Oh, and one more thing, often when I get to my summer house, the internet is broken (more literally, the line has been cut and it can take a couple days to get back), however that most likely will not be the case this year.
Anyway, I hope to be back on by the 2nd and caught up on the 3rd.

Jacked up as in more powerful or jacked up as in fucked up?
Kind of what I was thinking, except that part where the devourer would get jacked up eating the shield.
I'm extrapolating from the fact that by consuming life-energy, the devourer got regenerated, so it would make sense that by consuming mystical energies it would get a megaboost in power.
This is only a conjecture of course depending on the precise mode of operation of the devourers.
Jacked up as in more powerful or jacked up as in fucked up?
As in (Hulk on Steroids), thought it's a guesstimate on how the devourers operate that it'd happen.
By the way, I have decided to relinquish control of Ar'mai to Blastit as of 10:30 AM tomorrow (and power returning to me on my return).

Yes, it is harsh, and you are mistaken regarding what the issues are. Completely mistaken. I am not even going to go into them all as I just spoke of all of it with everyone else.
Things are set up with Clash and everything is cool. I may have powers, however they are STRICTLY restricted by the one running the RP... sometimes to the point where Karasu is useless. This is my point. When I spit the acid, I knew full well he would go into the other dimension, however I thought I might have at least put a hole in his clothes! Otherewise he would dodge... that's how it always works.
I am saying my regular attacks with human weapons do NOTHING. I have no magic whatsover, and no excessive strength. And I would appreciate you not saying I'm bitching when you do not know what the subject is really about.
I only want a char that can do SOMETHING. Mine may have those powers, however, they are unuseable. Everyone uses magic, the enemy uses magic, I have blades, which do not seem to do anything at all. This is my issue. I am saying my attacks cannot cause ANY DAMAGE AND NEVER HAVE!
I would also appreciate you not being so bitchy in your posts to others. You call me a bitch, but damn, you're on top there. There are kinder ways of giving criticism. It doesn't sound just harsh, it sounds rude and nasty, and it is unnecessary. I am sick of THAT!
If you are going to say something, say it decently.

Death has risen from the Grave to respond to some arguments that have been circulating in here…….
(Grim Reaper image forms from a dark mists and says to Hype and DMG)
First of all Acid does hurt the Undead if it can eat through flesh and bone. Some Undead is more resistant thanks to spells and other specialized items however acid can hurt badly if a direct hit is taken. The Undead may seem like they are unhurt by their lack of a pained reaction but the undead have absolutely no sense of pain. They fight till they are destroyed completely.
DMG is right about the Clones. They would be a formidable feat to create that many copies of two powerful characters and have them possess the same strength as the original characters..
The Clones Mavis made of himself will not last long and do not possess the entirety of the original's full strength, otherwise they would be raining much more powerful spells down upon the enemy…
I also understand however that when magic/Dimensional hit and run is involved the ability to make everything fair is sometimes difficult which is why. I will allow Hype's character to have some magically ability provided it is not an giant godmod ability or in exchange for magically power, I will also allow enchanted weaponry for Karasu's human form. I just ask that it not be like some super powered sword or an unstoppable dagger etc..

26-06-2006, 20:16

Well, you could, but then he would just respawn in a few days, lich's do that, you would have to find his phalactry which stores his soul. I think that's the ring on his finger, but we don't know that yet i think.

If the ring is destroyed the evil side will be the only remaining soul. If the Evil soul is destroyed the good ring will be all that is left. The only reason Mavis is evil right now is thanks to Minax sending a massive amount of dark power that is suppressing his good soul.

I just reread the description for Time Stop and AMF(and answered my own question). A wizard with TS active can't enter the area of a AMF, but otherwise is unaffected.

Star Wars Galaxies (MMORPG) had a 100-sided dice that you could make, i never saw a reason for it personally. World of Warcraft had a /roll system which went from 1 to 100 and was used to decide who got items, so another 100-sided dice. Never seen a bigger one though.

4: Black Tentacles, Blast of Earth
5: Ball Lightning or Annihilation
They would make sense,
for the last one for first level ones, out of Chill Touch, Burning hands and Charm person, i would go with Chill Touch, it has a secondary effect of making undead run away, which could be handy.
And maybe for the 5th one i would throw in Baleful Polymorph, how can you not want a spell that turns an enemy into a harmless animal e.g. rabbit or frog etc.
That and he ones you have suggested are pretty much the ones i recognise :p

It seems like your spells known are similar to a 10th level sorcerer, which would mean you spells per day would be;
6 * 0 level
6 * 1st level
6 * 2nd level
6 * 3rd level
5 * 4th level
3 * 5th level
But that would be between you and Death in the end.

This has nothing to do with D&D(And I've never played the game(at least not the traditional form(just computer versions)))
These are just spells for Hype's character, so don't worry about it if we start talking numbers and factoids(unless it involves your dude).

His head tattoos protect him from them, letting few energies through, however, since he disliked most of the group from the start, he decided to go through with the attack, more specifically, Zeratul, considering he was preparing for a duel before Mavis arrived.

I'm basically using the spells and general things as a basis, making a few adjustments. That and common sense.
It all becomes quite simple and works once you get the hang of it, i personally prefer the psychic character method (seplls use X many points, similar to in a game) over the caster method of spells per day, it gives you a bit more freedom.

Since it seems like she's Sorcerer type, five times for level 0/1, four times for 2, three times for 3, two times for 4 and once for 5.
Sorcerers can cast either one spell a number of times, or a variety of spells. ie: They have X number of spell points for each level of spell, with each spell costing one point(from it's pool), and since each spell level draws from a pool, the spells in that level can be cast as long as they have spell points to cast it.

Ah, yes i remember you mentioning that before a few times, a few more times and i might remember :p
i posted the D&D spells per day that seemed to match roughly what level you would be to have those spells a few pages back, it seemingly got ignored, here it is again anyway.
6 * 0 level
6 * 1st level
6 * 2nd level
6 * 3rd level
5 * 4th level
3 * 5th level
But yeah, you and death would have to sort it out and D&D's spells per day would seem to make any caster insanely powerful in the RP's i've seen on here. Theao's suggestion would work better.
Ya, actually a Sorcerer is quite close to what Karasu could be, as they are usually those who use magick at the innate level(because they're decendents of gods, demons, dragons, powerful beings ect) rather than the traditional wizardry methods.

Ah, I thought Mr. Hype could help there if you were confused.
A regular weapon has no bonuses. +1 is the lightest/weakest/most common enchantment(the minimum to harm a lich for example), while a +5 is generally the highest you'll find period(letting you do things like smack a Demi-Lich(one of the nastiest baddies in the D&D world) which are otherwise untouchable save by magic.)

yeah, lightning, cold, being turned into things against their will and mind affecting things. That's liches only, not all of them. Not sure about the others.

I believe(don't quote me on this) a critical hit is a role of 20(on a D20) while the opposite, a critical miss is the role of 1(on a D20)
Critical Hit = Much more damage
Critical Miss = Off balance/wide open

That basically covers it, that's why i said in the edit that it basically meant there was no extra damage for hitting it in the neck or somewhere that would kill a normal person.
I was using the D&D stats for Liche's because those are what Mavis used at the start of this thread i think
Skills and Special abilities: Mavis has a lot of abilities and immunities thanks to being part of the undead. This includes immunity to poison, and stunning attacks, and mind affecting charm magic. They also have immunity to cold, electricity and polymorph magic. Mavis also has an immunity to Necromantic magic thanks to his status as champion of Minax. He also has a powerful command over the dark arts thanks to his connection to the gods of death and shadow. Can drain the souls of his enemies and raise them into zombies and skeletons. He also has an aura of death which causes fear in weaker enemies, Paralyzing touch.

Ok, let's see.
Mavis is the bad guy, he's a Lich, champion of the Death Goddess Minax.She gave him her right arm, giving him incredible powers every now and then, if you want to see his character it's back on the first page.
He attacked and destroyed an Elven Capitol City, can't remember the name off the top of my head, wiped it out, save for one young girl (who is travelling with the adventurers) and the Queen who he is hoping will allow him access to an area of great power so he can more or less end all life in the world/universe, as you do.
Some adventurer's banded together, wiped out all the undead at the city, Mavis had left before. Headed to the border of the land of Deatharon, which is more or less infested with undead, though humans and dark elves aswell, they all worship Minax, they are also kind of hunting Mavis.
Aventurer's got a message from the Elven Queen about them being in Deatharon, so they headed there and met up with a few more people. Now we are under attack from Mavis and a horde of undead
I could give you a summary of the basic character types we have aswell.

Yeah...why would they make pills pink or yellow?
Unnatural I say.

Disagree wholeheartedly. I wouldn't touch a mushroom, (Unless it was Portobello) for anything.
"I knew you wouldn't fire, you don't even know who I am. Besides, there would be witnesses." He indicated the house again. He looked at his chest, knowing/trusting no magic or green-coloured potions, he can't do anything.
He washed his face from the dried blood and dirt on his face from the ambush, and wiped the water off with his shirt.
Pulling out his necklace, his annoying smile replaced with a serious expression, he stares into it, lost in thought.
"Why now?" he whispered.
The memories were ignored all this time, letting him concentrate on his new work, but that moment have left him shaken and weak. He cursed himself for taking this mission for the sake of it, what did he expect?
His face remained a careful blank. Best not to dwell onto it.
He smiled at the elf. "Peaceful, isn't it? A nice place to live." Property value will probably drop after the woods burned away, he thought.
1) Why is it that magic/potions won't be able to help at all? (Though if you don't want to reveal that, that is fine.)
2) You do realize they are in the land of undead... blight... perpetual darkness. I doubt anyone would describe it as beautiful or peaceful. In fact, the only way someone would probably describe it is "Dying."

1) Well he doesn't trust magic, completely talentless in magical arts, and he don't trust magic potions either.
2) Just trying to make conversation. The lake's good enough to drink from, and they are far from the dead woods. Enough to have someone living there.

1) Ah, got it. I thought you were stating fact in the narrator's voice rather than his thoughts/perceptions. It is important to make a clear distinction.
"He looked at his chest, knowing/trusting no magic or green-coloured potions, he can't do anything."
The above sentence (quoted from your post) isn't quite clear whether it is a narrator's voice or his thoughts. (Plus I still don't get the end when it says, "potions, he can't do anything.")
2) They are very deep into the undead lands. Very close to the capitol. While there certainly could be people living there, I doubt there are any beautiful sights (at least not in the normal sense). The way I described the forest was sort of rotting, and dying. Picture that everything is blight and the colors are dark.
