ROM: Out of character

Post by **Josiah** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 5:09 pm

Gee Shauni, what is it with you and killing characters? They could just decide to stay at some town or go somewhere else if they're not with us, there's no reason to kill them.

Pardon and don't count me out yet. I'm currently in a state of flux with my family and a day job, so playing around's going to get just a bit more difficult.

Also, if Josiah-sama is going to proceed to make a story about Mahri just heard, I'll point out a post I made some time ago about a Dragon carrying off a little girl from a Dragon-folk village...

Simeon wrote: Simeon dreamed.

Mahri was powerful, but unaware of this power. A little girl with the power to rewrite history... The power to change not just the world around her to whatever she desired, but to transform the hearts and minds of living people as well.

He dreamed a terrifying dream of a black dragon decimating a clutch of mountain huts... and carrying away a little child in his talons.

Then he'd look down... to see a sword in his own chest and his beastial form evaporating, leaving behind the husk of a man--

A scream jolted Simeon awake. Thankfully, it was a playful one borne from surprise.

Jeff was playing hide and seek with Mahri. Mahri was still a fox-girl... though, Simeon sensed that Mahri was dreaming of the dragonpeople in the mountains again.

Nice folk, the Dragoons were. They were the couriers for orders of ore and coal outside of Sladestown... for obvious reasons. These were humans with dragon-blood in their viens... Some looked wholly human, others had draconic features that developed over time, others were true half-dragons. Births were hard, for obvious reasons, and mortality was high... but they were a people of honor and good spirits. Noticibly backward, Simeon observed the Dragoons to having only one deity, in contrast to the pantheons the other Orcannon cultures had. Because of their draconic ancestry, the Dragoons of Shiva live in ninja-esque villages, out of a mutual benefit. Aside from being speedy deliverymen, the Shivan Dragoons were formidable fighters... Most obviously, their trademark weapons and moves involved heavy spears and high jumps. ((I know. Hard to follow. This was off the top of my head, mew. ><;; ))

<Come to think of it...> Simeon mused as he put Mahri's figurines back into her felt pouch, <I haven't visted the Dragoons in a while.> He glanced out the window to the snowy mountains of the north. <I wonder how they are doing?>

((Shoot me. This is side/sub-quest material...))

((... So... Yeah. I've become more than a bit infatuated with Dragoons. Blame my re-run of FF4. Don't worry, if you're familiar with Final Fantasy, the Dragoons I've stuck in here are just like the Dragoons from that game [except for the fact they look like Japanese with green eyes, and have leet ninja skillz. Yes. Ninjas. Blame Naruto and my son.] ><;; ... and it's just a random thing. Totally bi-passable. And that's that for tonight.))

And I scoot to work.

Thanks for the reminder. I can work with that...

Ah, I really wanted to post today but by the time I got done with everything else I just don't have time. I'll try and advance things a bit either tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Hey Shauni, could you post info on some more of the sins? I'm planning to have another one show up soon so some names, appearances, attacks, transformations, and all that stuff would be great.

Post by **Silver** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 4:23 pm

I was just about to ask the same thing... I believe Opal's supposed to get a card from Sloth and Silver's supposed to get one from Envy... We get to fight Ed's sin and Hoenheim's sin! Cool.

So, um, anything on either of them would be nice.

Okay, well you could use Miser of the Greed, she's been in the comic already and her power is possesion.

Sloth can be an orginal RP creation as well as Envy, as there charcters in the comic are already exisitng in the RP. Actualy, envy has possed Shauni. Gluttanly is a big fat white guy with a receding hair line that has the power to suck things into a vortex.

Well, I think I'll be having Josiah's group run into Gluttony soon. Also, any thoughts on Lust or can I make that one up later on?

Post by **Celebifly** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:03 pm

So I presume that Sloth takes the appearence of Shauni, as seen in the comics?

Post by **Josiah** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 6:52 pm

Considering Shauni's post, and the fact that Sloth looks the way she does in the comic because of events that did not happen in the RP, I think we can just make up our own version of Sloth.

Post by **shauni** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 5:01 am

You can make your own sloth, and as for Lust....well, that charcter is still in development, so i guess you could make up an RP one that is different from the comic

Hey Simeon, do you have a boss planned for whole Dragoon thing? I was planning to bring in Gluttony but if you're setting up something else I can wait.

Post by **Simeon** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:42 am

In an earlier post, I alluded to a monster dragon tearing things apart in a dream Simeon had. Now, I originally wanted a dragon to be the boss fight for this side-plot... but that's just waaaay to cliche. So, yeah, I'm fine with Gluttony being our boss for this side-plot. The 'dragon' will be our mini-boss...

Post by **Josiah** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 3:18 pm

Ok. It can be a monster owned by Gluttony. I'll post later today or tomorrow move things along a bit more.
