D. Gray-man RP Questions/Suggestions

[Ryuzaki]

Hi everyone,

This is the sign up thread for the up and coming D. Gray-man RPG. I want to see just how many people will be planning on participating through this thread to see if it will be worth mine and other peoples time making this whole D. Gray-man RPG.

This RPG will be played just like the actual anime/manga. It will consist of the plot between Allen Walker and the Black Order against the Millenium Earl and his akuma. There will also be the Noah Clan members who sides with the Earl and goes against the Black Order.
You will be playing in the 19th Century with Allen Walker against or with the Millenium Earl and will be trying to find all the Innocence before your opposing side does first.

The basic types of Positions that we will include in this RPG is:
- Exorcist
- Noah Clan
- Akuma
- Finder/Human

If you want to participate in this up and comming RPG game, then sign up here with the following template...

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance(Height, weight, hair and eye color, clothes, other accessories):
Position:
Akuma Level(Akuma Only):
Powers(Akuma and Noah)[Optional]:
Innocence(Exorcist - List it's type, example Parasite or Weapon)[Optional]:

This template is not final, so you can change your character later if you want, this is just so I can get an idea of who wants to be what sort of thing.
And one more thing, you will be able to create more than just 1 character. You will be able to play as 3 or maybe more, but that just means you'll be RPGing more. More details will be given out once we get this started.

There is a lot in store for this RPG so if want to play a fun, exciting RPG please sign up here. ^^

If you have any questions just PM me and I will be happy to answer you. :)

And I would also like to invite you to come and play this.

Seeing as how I'm totally gay for Allen Walker, I'll be joining in as well, in all likelihood.

It's going to have a well-constructed rules set (I guarantee it. XD), and I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.

And we may have cookies. It's just a rumor, though.

[momo-taichou]

momo-taichou + allen walker = babies.

[Ryuzaki]

Yes, Shinomori will be helping me with the rules to make this rpg great to play. :)

You're gay for Allen? Ew.

Lavi ftw foo!

So yeah, count me in :).

[Shinomori]

Well, technically, I'm more hetero for Linali, but that's neither here nor there. :)

[Akiha]

Since Ryuzaki PMed me earlier to do this...

Name: Saya
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Position: Excorcist
Innocence(Exorcist)[Optional]: Will have that later, yo.

[Alerane]

Sign me up!

Name: Maaka Miyu
Age:18
Gender:Female
Apperance:
Miyu is about 5"7 feet tall and thin in build, weighing around 125 lbs. Her hair is pale blonde with a few copper and red streaks, and falls 2-3 inches passed her shoulders. Her eyes are amber, and her complexion is a rosy peach colour.

She wears tighter clothes when she chooses what to wear, like tank tops and jeans or slacks, but is usually wearing the exorcist uniform. She often alternates between wearing a red headband and maroon bandanna in her hair, too. Other than that she has a strap on her belt to hold her weapon and a pair of lightweight boots you wouldn't expect a fighter to wear but maybe a jogger.

Position:Exorcist
Innocence(Exorcist): Her innocence is in weapon form, and takes the shape of a wooden boomerang in appearance. It appears a dingy maroon or crimson colour with a gold edge on its convex curved side. When innovcated this lightweight weapon can slice through almost any material and returns to the hand of its conformer.

[Ryuzaki]

Hey Blitz joined! ^^

And I'll also make my character post..

Name: Constantine
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Apperance:
He is a tall sturdy man reaching about 6' in height, and weighs around 170lbs. He has dark semi-long curly brown hair, with dark brown penetrating eyes.

When he is his light self, he wears a light brown cacky pair of pants, with a tight white shirt and wears an mediterranean hat. While he is his dark self he wears the normal tux suit, with a top hat. He does not carry any accessories except for a platinum diamond shaped linked necklace that he wears all the time. Where he got it is unknown, but it's very precious to him.

Position: Noah

Powers(Akuma and Noah): One of the techniques that Constantine posses is the ability to convert any source of light into a very high frequency light that burns the insides of his opponents at very high speeds. With the high frequency light waves, he could condense the light into a highly powered destructive sword that he is able to control freely since it's the power of light.
He can also travel instantly through the ground like all the other Noah Clan members can do.

[Midare]

This looks interesting Ryuzaki... and if you don't mind heaving a complete noob at rpg's joining (this would be my second try), count me in.

I'll make my character post later if the answere is positive :p

[Ryuzaki]

Ofcourse you can join Midare! ^^
You'll do just fine in this rpg, it's going to be pretty easy once we get started. :)

*adds Midare to list*

Just make your character here(it's not final though) and that's about it.
:p

*goes off to finish Noah character*

[^Panther^]

i'm here ryu! though i don't know much about d. gray-man

you'll have to fill me in on the positions and then i'll create my character :winking56

[Askand]

You're gay for Allen? Ew.
Lavi ftw foo!
So yeah, count me in :).

LAVI=awesome

I agree with Z Lavi is the bomb *dies* LOL
Please count me in, on this project. I have to undust my rpg abilities so I will humbly ask for support on this dilema people. I will supply my char a bit later since I need to sit and think about this.
For the moment all I can provide is that my char is an exorcist. Thanks

*Bows Respectfully*
Askand

[Ryuzaki]

Thanksfor signing up for the rpg Askand, I appreciate it. ^^
And yes, take all the time you need to think about your character, there's no rush at all. :)


And I see you too is an Exorcist. Looks like I'm going to have to face both you and Undy. =P

[Yamamoto]

LAVI=awesome
I agree with Z Lavi is the bomb *dies* LOL
Askand

QFT :)

If only I could be a bookman xDD

and don't worry, I actually have no interest being a Noah, so I'll be an exorcist :D

[Ryuzaki]

^That's not a bad idea actually. :D

You can always make your Exorcist character a Bookman like Lavi too if you want. That could be one of your attributes or something. =p

[Yamamoto]

:D

Hoorah! \o/

:p

Now I have to do some more thinking about it :)

[Ryuzaki]

:p

I don't think you'll have a different type of stats like a normal Exorcist, but you make your Innocence power just like what a bookman could do. And your other traits ofcourse.
=P

[^Panther^]

character template for me ^^


Name: Irvin
Age: 17
Gender: male
Apperance: 5'10"; long, blonde hair that's down to his shoulder; deep, studying eyes; slender face; lanky body; serious attitude and always ready to get some action.
Position: Exorcist
Innocence: TBA

my innocence can be whatever i want, right? i wasn't sure if it had to be around the same boundaries as the one in the manga =P

[Ryuzaki]

^Yes it can be whatever you want, and it can be totally different from any kind of Innocence that is in the manga/anime. :)

------------------------------------

Announcement! Please Read
The Official RPG for D. Gray-man will start later tomorrow with all of the rules, and information about the rpg.

I will make the final Character Registration Thread that will contain the full template for you to complete your character, and the thread where you will play the actual rpg.

And for a heads up to everyone, the first post that you make in the actual rpg thread will have to be about how/when/where/why you got to the Black Order. And the same thing for Akuma, Noah and Finders, except that you will state how you became an Akuma, and how you joined up with the Earl.
But you must finish your character registration before you can actually play.


And if you were wondering if someone was going to play as the Earl for this rpg, well someone is. But you'll find that out tomorrow. ^^

If you have any questions concerning the rpg, please post it here and I'll get back to you soon. :)

[Askand]

If suggestions can be made on this thread it will be good to mark the limits on the powers or innocense everyone has. I mean this can help the player and the one who is giving the adventure at the time we play it.
*sighs* got to go the family is complaining I will be back on Saturday with my stats.

[momo-taichou]

*sighs* got to go the family is complaining I will be back on Saturday with my stats.

I just got done working on those stats a minute ago. And I think it's pretty good.
If you want to see the stats that I've created Askand I'll send them over to you if you want.
And I made a total of 4 stats for each position, 2 of them consisted of 5 but I'm debating whether to keep the 5th as a regular stat for now or not.

And this will be the suggestion/question thread from now on, so all of your non-rpg comments can go here.

[Z_Blitz]

Seeing as how people are more inclined to become Exorcists than join the dark side...

Name: Xavier
Race: Noah family member
Power: Control over the atmosphere. Xavier can easily alter the atmosphere's gaseous concentrations as well as make use of the air in different battle situations. Creating air barriers as well as "wind sickles", as he so frequently calls them, come by as a cinch for someone like him.
Personality: Old fashioned, soft spoken and borderline friendly. Xavier's behavior mostly resembles that of a gentleman back in the 18th century. As is often depicted in the way he speaks, Xavier believes that he owes the world this "restart" after virtues like chivarly and integrity have become obsolete, which he happens to hold paramount.
Look: Dressed in a black leather jacket, a white shirt - which he often changes -, blue jeans, brown shoes and a pair of frameless spectacles that highlight his green eyes. Xavier stands 6 foot 2 above the ground with dark hair that fashionably covers his left eye. Around his neck hangs a golden locket, the source of which is unknown to many.

[Undying]

Um, Z, not to be a critique but which of Noah's "7 sins" are you? You know, Pride, Pleasure, Dream, Wrath etc?

I'll get my character done soon... just tweaking it a bit and deciding on the Innocence... and I changed his name :p.

[Z_Blitz]

That's a decent question to ask. If anything, I think "pride" would be the closest to describe him :).

I don't think they've mentioned pride as one of Noah's 7 deadly sins... Or have they? Deceit, dream, pleasure and hatred are the ones I know that are out :).

[Undying]

I have no idea how do they call them (didn't care, I was just reading to get ideas for the Anti-Akuma weapon and story >_>), but each Noah has their own classification, and as a Noah you must have one.

Just saying, you know :).

[Ryuzaki]

That's a good point you guys. So then maybe I should edit in the character registration thread to put "7 Sins of Noah"(Noah Clan Only). Then you would just post which sin you are.

Does that sound like a good idea?

[Undying]

If your Speed is higher than your opponents Speed then you will not hit your opponent as much as you normally would.
I would have thought the opposite is true? If your speed is higher, you will be able to inflict more hits than usual due to being able to bypass opponent's defense?

[Novoxis]

^ What he said. Higher speed should equal more manouvereability hence easier to break defenses. Take long range chars, the faster they are the more volley of arrows, bullets whatnot they can fire yeah.

I'd like to join this Rp too but since there seem to be quite a few Exorcists, I think I'll be a Noah. I'll edit with my chars profile a bit later.

[Kabane]

I would have thought the opposite is true? If your speed is higher, you will be able to inflict more hits than usual due to being able to bypass opponent's defense?

How bout both. :D

[Ryuzaki]

I would have thought the opposite is true? If your speed is higher, you will be able to inflict more hits than usual due to being able to bypass opponent's defense?

Yeah, your pretty much right. Thanks for catching that, I'll fix that mistake right now. :P

So yes, if your speed is higher than your opponents speed, than you will be able to dodge more attacks than your opponent.
I'll go re-word it right now.

@Ryuuken
And I take it your position is a Noah correct? It says N/A so I just want to make sure. :D


Um... everything is as it should be, yes?
Yes, everything looks great Undy. :)


--------
And since you guys have made your characters, you can now post in the actual RP Thread to start your upcomming missions.

If you don't know where or what to post next just ask here.

[Kabane]

i put N/A?

i must have had a brain fart.

yes i am a noah.

[Ryuzaki]

^Now it's fixed. ^^

You can start your RPG in this thread now HERE (http://forums.bleachportal.net/showthread.php?t=49263).
Just follow the instructions at the bottom and your set to begin. For the Noah Clan, the Earl(maybe) will make his first appearence with you to start the first Arc.

EDIT:
And I also fixed the Speed stat description, so that is correct now right?

[Novoxis]

I hope this is ok.

Name: Edrial Harkin

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5"12, 72kg, vibrant yellow eyes, crimson red hair [think Grimmjow but red], wears a red shirt and navy jeans, covering it all with a black overcoat with a chin high collar, earing in the form of a small black die in his left ear.

Personality: Cool Headed, Laidback, Ambitious. Edrial is a man of the world, a take life as it comes kind of guy, who takes that very literally when it concerns his enemies. He loves nothing more than satiating his own desire for fun and will do anything to see that he is fulfilled.

Biography: Edrial grew up in Dublin city where his father was wealthy industrialist. Edrial found his rural life to be boring and at a young age requested his father send him abroad to "study." He ended up being sent to the United States where he soared through his education with ease while enjoying all that the country had to offer, namely its gaming districts and its women.
At the age of 18 he attained a loan fom his father which he was told to have paid him back at the end of the year. He was soon approached by the Earl who offered him a more "enjoyable" position in the world as well as reveal a little about his family history, things he never knew about. A week later his family was found slaughtered in their home and the grizzly crime was placed on the head of an innocent man. Edrial enjoyed the act, even more so after learning his families connection to the Excorcists.
Currently, Edrial runs a casino in the heart of Las Vegas called the Black Phoenix and has become a figure of wealth, power and fear partly due to the constant use of his abilities. He has a number of Akuma working his casino too so the term the house always wins is quite true.

Country of Origin: Ireland

Position: Noah

Power: Blackjack: Vines of shadow burst from Edrial's shoulder, wrapping and coiling around his arm to form a crossbow. With it he is able to fire bolts made of his own blood, sometimes red, sometimes black. The red bolts have explosive properties while the red can infect a target with excessive pleasure, rendering them immobile.

Ante: Edrial rolls the black die earing he has, the effects following based on the number rolled. Some effects are positive, some are negative. So far all that's known is a three results in an explosion.

7 Deadly Sins of Noah: Pleasure

Other: Is a frequent blood donor, feels it helps "cleanse" the world. Has the ace of spades tattooed on his back. Fondness for classical music, though even he has no idea why, claims that it must be in his blood.

Stats:

Health: 26
Speed: 6
Attack: 6
Power 1st Stage: 8
Power 2nd Stage: 9

[Shinomori]

I'll do my best to show up on time. :)

It's nearing finals week, but I never particularly cared for school anyway.

[Ryuzaki]

@Novoxis
Yes that is perfect, great character. ^^
You don't need the spoiler around your stats but that's okay.

@Shino
Don't worry about that Shino, it's all good. :)

And what do you think of the Stats System and the EXP System? I want to make sure it's good before we start our Arc.

And should we announce who is the Earl now? =P

[Novoxis]

Since you have ok'd it Ryu, I assume it's okay to transplant it into the registration thread yeah?

[Ryuzaki]

Yes, you have the green light to go post your character in the Registration Thread. :)

EDIT:
And before I forget!
The following Noahs have to go to this thread HERE (http://forums.bleachportal.net/showthread.php?t=49263) and basically post how and what happened before you meet with the Millennium Earl. And you can have a discussion with the Earl if you want.

- Z_Blitz
- Ryuuken
- Novoxis
- Myself

After posting your first post, you will recieve something "special" from the Earl..
Well, you'll have to see.

[Novoxis]

Ooh, something special *rubs hands in anticipation*

Well I'll make my first post in the morning since it's nearly 3:00am here. I'll think about what to write in my sleep. Later people.

[Milan]

So now tha that arc has started, we newcomers can't post in the thread yet?

[Ryuzaki]

^Yes you everyone can still post in the thread still even if your new. We'll just send you to another part of Germany that still has to do with the Arc, or we'll send you as back-up.

But in this RP you can still participate in an Arc even though it already started.

If you want to be in the Arc, then post a short story of your character reaching the Black Order, and have a discussion with Komui, then have him tell you to go to Germany also.

And if other Exorcists do the same, then you can all go as a group to Germany.

[Milan]

Ok, I'll probably do that after I finish my bio.

EDIT: Was my post okay? And do you also plan on making a discussion thread?

[Akiha]

Is "The Earl's Dining Room" basically a Discussion thread for Akuma and Noah? Or is that kind of like the Black Order's HQ to them?

[Ryuzaki]

^It's kinda liek the Black Order's HQ but for the Noah and Akuma. They can visit whenever they are not on a mission, and they can have discussions with the Earl as long as thy want.

@Milan
Your post is perfect! Now you can go to Kumio's office and try to get him to go on the same mission as the other Exorcists.

[Z_Blitz]

Hmm... Not to be picky or anything of that sort, but from what I've read so far, it seems that both Xavier and Leiko have the same "sin". Arrogance and pride are closely linked and often substituted for each other. Any particular ideas about how we should get around this?

[Ryuzaki]

That is a problem. Well since Arrogance is the same thing as Pride, then I would say that Leiko(Midare) will have to pick another type of original sin, since she was the second to pick pride.

Maybe I should state that rule in the character registration template.

[Milan]

Yeah it would be best to post there which have been taken and which are free to choose.

Also, you tend to call Komui 'Kumio' :P

[Akiha]

Rofl, I noticed Ryu did that myself. I had to change the thread title, to be honest.

Sorry, BP. ^^;

[Ryuzaki]

^All is good now. Thanks for that out for me though.
And I fixed his name in my post btw.


And I'll list the original sins that are still available and taken, I'll just have to find a good spot.

[Akiha]

While (still) reading some more DGM, I noticed that there are actually conformed Akuma from General Cross.

Could that be another class as well, Conformed Akuma?

[Ryuzaki]

^Conformed akuma? I haven't gotten that far in the manga yet, so are they more powerful/faster than level 2 Akuma?

I'll consider making them a Position then.

And are they also known as Level 3 Akuma??

[Undying]

Aren't the modified Akuma just Akuma that work with the Exorcists rather than the Earl because of Cross' work?

[Akiha]

BP: So far, only level 2 modified akuma have been shown.

Undy: Yes.

[Ryuzaki]

Well if they work with the Black Order then I think it's a pretty good idea to add them to the Good Guys list as playable positions.

Would anyone make Conformed Akuma though?

[Alerane]

Some people may play them once they see them introduced in the anime, they only show 2 in the story, but they were pretty interesting characters

[Askand]

If I can suggest arrogance and pride can be treated as a split personality of the Noah. In the anime they are two people, maybe the person who choose this can explain having both sins like this.

[Ryuzaki]

Hmm, I'll have to think about it then. They don't seem all that important since there is only 2 of them and they don't play a big role or anything(I think..).


@Askand
The two Noahs in the anime have the same sins? I'll go check it out then.

[Z_Blitz]

Umm... No they don't. I just caught up with the manga =p.

It's implied however, that Allen might be the "new" bearer of pleasure after the disappearance of Tyki Mikk.

[Ryuzaki]

^I'm not going to open the spoilers lol.

But I'll keep it the way it is and have only one Noah per deadly sin. Which means there will be only 7 Noah characters.

[Askand]

ok then. I need to read the manga since I havent check it lately. But if this can solve future problems is ok.

[Shinomori]

I'd say that "confirmed" akuma would be an ability given to a person, not a character class. Hell, it's not like we're seeing many people wanting to be akuma anyway. :)

[Ryuzaki]

Yeah we won't have Conformed Akuma. Like Shino said, no body even wants to be a regular Akuma right now.

Shino you'll be playing as an Exorcist correct? And also the Earl ofcourse. :)

[Milan]

I'll wait a while with posting, since my character will be arriving quite some time after the other exorcists.

@ kensei_viz's char. profile: I think it looks pretty good so far :)
@ momo's: Can't you have a max of 5 speed?

[Ryuzaki]

^I believe you can finally arrive in germany in 2 more posts. Your second can be about how you arrive in germany and meet up with the rest of the Exorcists.

And I fixed momo's speed too, so she's ready to RP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Small Announcement


I finally put up the rules for battling. It's helpful to know when you want/have to fight.

Battling Rules (http://forums.bleachportal.net/showpost.php?p=2262610&postcount=7)

[Akiha]

RPG Discussion Thread tiem nao?

[Ryuzaki]

^lol

O and I want to ask everyone here. Would it be useful to everyone if I put up a News/Update Thread to let you guys know the latest stuff of the RPG?

Just a thought.

[Yamamoto]

Yes.

It would be :)

Especially right now since my connection makes everything load so long ><

[Akiha]

I would say a yes.

[Ryuzaki]

Okay. there's two votes in favor for it. =P

I think I'll set it up then. Unless someone thinks it's absolutely horrible or something..


EDIT:
Done.
:)

[momo-taichou]

@Ryuzaki: You made two characters on the registration thread...are we supossed to do that? hahah ^^

[Alerane]

@momo Earlier he encouraged using more than one character, so I believe we can

[Akiha]

Yes, you can have multiple characters.

Just make a different post per character as well.

[momo-taichou]

Okee dokee I will talk to my brother ryuzaki about it later I cant think right now blahhh

[Ryuzaki]

Yes you're pretty much allowed to create as many character as you want, like Ritsu said.

[Milan]

@Kaden: 50 Stat points MAX.

[Anarchy]

so now that it took me so long to make my character how do I go about to joining the action just? Read all five pages and then with that knowledge find out where everyone is and catch up or just wait for a new mission? I guess this could go for anyone that makes a new character as well. . .

EDIT: It's at 50 isn't it

EDIT: NVM my bad I thought I changed it but I guess I didn't but it's changed now

[Milan]

I thought you had 51

[Anarchy]

yeah I just did the math and saw that I did sorry about that

[Ryuzaki]

so now that it took me so long to make my character how do I go about to joining the action just? Read all five pages and then with that knowledge find out where everyone is and catch up or just wait for a new mission? I guess this could go for anyone that makes a new character as well. . .


Well you don't need to read what has happened in the current arc since it's currently full of Exorcists. But you will be going on another mission. In order to get a mission you must go to the Black Order HQ, if your an Exorcist, or The Millennium Earl's World, if your a Noah/Akuma, to get a mission.

So since your a Exorcist you go to Komui's Office and talk to him about what to do next basically.

Maybe I should add that to the rules.

[Ryuzaki]

Double post..>.>;;



Announcement!

The D. Gray-man UserBar is now available to use! Go to User CP > Group Memberships > Apply for the DGM RP and the GMs will accept you.

[Lethe]

Awesome job on the group membership banners, by the way.

:)

And me am sorry - me have been a tad busy and haven't gotten around to my character just yet.

=/

[Ryuzaki]

^Thanks Pika! :)

And that's okay, there's no hurry to make a character. If you want help making your character though just ask me and I'll help you through it. ^^

EDIT:

I just came up with an idea, tell me if it's a good one or not.

How about having every Exorcist here a Room Thread where you can have other Exorcists over to chat with and hang out basically.

I would name the threads by each Exorcists name like this:
"Rave's Room"
"Miyu's Room"
"Angelique's Room"
ect.

All of these Room Threads would be in the Black Order HQ section btw.

[Milan]

Yeah I had that idea too. ANd maybe create one thread where you can RP in the corridors, science department and all the other places of HQ.

[Yamamoto]

Yeah I think it's a good idea too ^___^

[Wacer]

Hello everyone, i put in my character as I have always wanted to try an RP and I like DGM so it seems like a good idea

If i did anything wrong i am very very sorry as i tried to read the rules very carefully.

* is nervous that he might of done something wrong*

[Milan]

You spend 2 points too much on Speed. The Max on it is 5.

[Wacer]

I fixed it, sorry about that

[Milan]

No need to say sorry or anything, just helping you :P

[Tyekanik]

I also support having a room.

I request mine have a huka. My character is simply not scatterbrained enough and needs to be a little less serious.

[Ryuzaki]

@animewacer
Your profile is perfect! Now you can go to Komui's Office and talk to him, if you want a mission right now. ^^


@Everyone
If you want me to say something special about your room, or if you even want one, then PM me and I'll put it in.
And if you want a special name for your room, like Tye's, then let me know about that also.

One more thing, if you want to be the owner of your Room Thread, then just let me know and I'll give ownership to you.


EDIT:
Actually, if you want to make it faster and not have to wait for me, you can just make your own room if you want.

[Alerane]

I made my room, and was just wondering, you just need to describe it in the first post, correct?

[Ryuzaki]

^Yes, you just need to describe it in your first post.
Your Room Threads that you make are for relaxing and talking with your friends in your room. You can basically do anything you want in your room, but you can only go there once you return to the Black Order HQ after your mission ofcourse.


And I'm thinking of doing this for the Noahs but I'm not sure if they have any rooms at the Earl's place or not.

[Milan]

@animewacer: W're not in Berlin :/ we're in Stuttgart...

[Wacer]

I dont why i though Berlin, I could of swore i saw it somewhere but i must of saw Germany and though Berlin. well it was just all little edit to to fix.

Not the best way to start out an rp XD

[Ryuzaki]

^It's all good, no worries. xD

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcements! Please Read This!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to modifications for the battling during RP, we are going to have to changed the Stats and added a couple things to it. LINK (http://forums.bleachportal.net/showthread.php?t=49261&page=2)
So you should be prepared to update your stats the way you want to. Because this should be the final installment for the Stat System.

And you may notice this, but there is one more Position(well Level) that I added to the Position types. If you haven't read the manga after the anime then try not to read it if you don't want to be spoiled. Even though it should happen in the near future...

If you have any questions then ask here or PM one of the GMs.

[Wacer]

Ryuzaki I have a question if that is ok

what do the Innocence Level/Power stat sdo, like do you just add that to your normal attack when you use it or sumthing, and like how long would it stay active, for just one turn or longer.

Like for example my character with this stats, if i had level 2 Innocence up then i could a possible 21 damage for a set number of turns

* Health: [24]
* Speed: [5]
* Tactic: [5]
* Attack: [4]
* Innocence Level 1: [8]
* Innocence Level 2: [9]

And do you have to be a certain level to unlock a stage and use it

sorry if it was said and i just missed it somewhere

[Ryuzaki]

^It is all good to ask a question wacer. :)

And if your saying that you could inflict a total amount of 19 damage to your opponent in one post then yes you can. But don't expect your opponent to not do the same to you, maybe even more. :P And the same thing goes for multiple posts too.

Is that what you were asking?

[Wacer]

i see, well if they are just Attack modifiers then and that is all they are then ya I get that.

thanks Ryuzaki

[Ryuzaki]

Yeah, they are for guidlines for what your character is able to do basically. Just stay within your characters range to be fair though. :)

And I'm still updating the Stats btw, but it will be final soon enough.

EDIT:
I'll make an announcement when the Stats/Template it completely finished. Which it almost is btw. :)

[Undying]

Which reminds me, we need to make sure that people don't deal 19 points of damage in one post. With the low HP levels, fights would be over in no time...

To the secret porn room!

[Milan]

Agreed ^

[Tyekanik]

At least you shouldn't go above the attack modifier for the turn right?

No doing 19 points of damage with an innocence attack of 7, only up to 7 damage, thought that was what it was getting to?

[Ryuzaki]

I just thought that over and it if we were able to inflict 19 Points Damage, then that would mean that the Stats that we put up would be basically useless. And that's not what we want, so we'll make it so that the max damage that you can inflict is your Stat point, nothing else.

That includes Innocence and Power Stats also, you can't inflict damage over what you can do. SO yeah no 19 damage until you can actually inflict it.

Sorry for telling you earlier that you could animewacer.

[Tyekanik]

clarification question -

Say this, attack is 4, Inn lvl 1 is 5, Inn lvl 2 is 6.

They can lauch whatever attack that they want but if they attack with Inn lvl 1 and a lvl 2, they can do damage with both of them?

My version of thinking was they can attack with whatever they want but shouldn't land more than one hit per turn (fairness sake) therefore they can for a max of 5 or 6 depending on which one.

[Ryuzaki]

My version of thinking was they can attack with whatever they want but shouldn't land more than one hit per turn (fairness sake) therefore they can for a max of 5 or 6 depending on which one.

That is what I was just thinking actually. You can only attack within your max inn lv.1 or inn lv.2 once a post, just as long as you can actually connect with your opponent, a.k.a. Speed and Tactic. You have to put those to consideration, then you won't be able to hit your opponents all the time as you want. If your Speed and Tactic is lower than your opponent(s), then don't expect to hit your opponent as much, unless your Innocence/Power is able to reach them(such as Blitz air attack Power) it's pretty hard to dodge or think of a way to avoid it. But you'll have to think of all of this to be as fair as possible.

Hopefully I wasn't confusing to anyone, if you are don't feel bad to ask any questions here. :)

[Tyekanik]

How about a scrap thread per mission, below the mission and will be trashed upon completion - for various questions, banter, keeping order of events straight?

I should probably go back to work now.

[Wacer]

You lost me a little on that one Ryuzaki, so like the attack power of the Innocence level is the max damage you can do, like if level one was 7 then that tern you could do up to7 damage

but i am very tired right now so i will go to sleep and maybe when i wake up it will be clear. XD *ish slow right now*

((Oh and Ryuzaki, you and Kaden can use my char. if need be that I end up sleeping to long so i dont end up getting in the way, that and i have school later today so i might end up missing the fight XD you and Kaden ended up going to sleep on me yesterday xd hehe))

[Milan]

Isn't it like this?

Att. 3
Inn lvl 1: 6
Inn lvl. 2: 99

When you have no innocence activated or don't attack with it > MAX = 3
When you attack using lvl. 1 Innocence > MAX = 6
When you attack using lvl. 2 Innocence > MAX = 99

[Ryuzaki]

^Yes exactly! Couldn't have put it any better. :P

Thanks for clearing that up Milan.

[Undying]

Yes, that's exactly as I thought of it too :p.

*uses Komui voice*

But, remember RPers, you can't keep on using Innocence without it draining you~.

[Tyekanik]

*uses Komui voice*

But, remember RPers, you can't keep on using Innocence without it draining you~.

About that, whats the system or should we just temporarily use percentages or something so people know we aren't going too far?

I've seen Innocence points listed in the faq but only that you can't use innocence below 10% health

[Undying]

I think the smartest move would be to add a sort of a "mana" meter which will be calculated using your health stat to show how many times can you use the Innocence before you collapse.

Again to the secret porn room!

[Wacer]

you keep that secret porn room well hidden dont you XD

I agree that some kinda meter needs to be in place. If not you could just activate in the beginning so that would make normal attack kinda useless., and the fights would be over to quick

[Ryuzaki]

Well the meter that we're talking about would drive this RPG away from it's original format, which is FreeForm style. If we did do a MP format then it would turn the RPGinto a more Stats and numbers RPG.

It would be a lot more things to do than just RP...

[Wacer]

wow dropping 15 stat points is going to be big, will have to go and recrunch the numbers now tell i get something i like in my stats again

and i know i am a bother Ryuzaki but i have another questions, Will levals play a part in your stats at all. Like with every level will you gain more to assign to your character.

[Tyekanik]

After thinking about it I also agree a meter would be a good idea - to be implemented whenever :p, it is another limit however it'll make players use their innocence/whateveryoufrigginnoahshave more sparingly with large moves = more creative/effective as there's less of it, a player won't have a barrage of high level attacks.

Perhaps a very simple system such as the attack/strategy(i.e. binding) value will equate the energy usage, then its simple subtraction.

[Ryuzaki]

^I see that you got my PM that I mass produced to everyone here. :P

And it's no problem with the questions, it's better to ask questions so that other people will know also.

And to answer your question, yes it will play a part.
Like your currently at Level 40 right now, correct? So if you gain let's say 5 EXP Points on the end of the Arc, then you have a total of 45 EXP Points correct?
Well with those 5 EXP Points, you can add them anywhere you want to to your Stats and to costume make your character the way you want to.
And there's something special once you get enough points. If your a Exorcist and you get a total of 80 EXP Points, then you become a Commander Exorcist and get an Extra 3 EXP Points for the promotion. And when you get 100 EXP Points then you become a General and get a bonus 4 EXP Points that you can add anywhere you want. Then you can command the Regular and Commander Exorcists on the missions if you want.

As for Akuma, when they get to 75 EXP Points then they Evolve into Level 3 Akuma and get an extra 4 EXP Bonus Points.

So yeah your Levels(EXP Points) is very important.

Is that what you wanted to know?

@Tye
I don't know much about that system, that would be Undys thing. But I think that it would turn this RP into a more stat based RPG, rather than FreeForm.

As of right now, you'll just have to be fair in how many times you use your Innocence. And btw, Noah can use their Powers as much as they like, that's the advantage we have over you Exorcists.

[Tyekanik]

Is the 'tactic' skill used to sway the opponents position on what to do with an rp'd event?

Like if someone with a tactic of 0 made an elaborate trap, who cares they suck right?

Or someone who may not be so gifted in rp'ing battle strategy had tactics of 9999 you could theoretically catch your opponent in a mousetrap?

[Wacer]

So Noah's get to have mass spamage of their Powers XD well i guess that is only fair as we out number almost 3:1 right now, Seems simple enough to understand.

((and where did Kaden disappear too, I wanted him to post again before i jumped in))

[Alerane]

Hey everybody, just want to let you know I won't be posting much in the rp this week due to RL stuff. Sorry if its a problem.

[Undying]

@Tye: not really. We trust in our RPers to be able to judge when a character is capable of setting an elaborate trap and when they are not. The Tactics skill is used ONLY as a guide to the RPer themselves (an experienced war veteran with Tactics 3 would still be able to set better traps than a newbie with Tactics 9999), to judge their own character.

As far as the MP system goes, as Z and Ryuzaki said, and I agree, too many stats would ruin this RP (it is supposed to be FreeForm), and so we will once again count on our RPers to judge when their Innocence is being overused and when it's not.

Remember though, using the Innocence's effect and just using the Innocence are two different things (hence, Parasite Type use their Innocence more because it composes their Anti-Akuma weapon, while an Equipment Type uses their special effect less because they have an Anti-Akuma weapon regardless of effects).

I hope that clarifies enough.

[Tyekanik]

Ah, thanks it does help a bit. Wanted a tad bit of clarification before I dumped points into it :p

[Anarchy]

ok so since Dante has a split personality and all I was wondering if this would be ok for his stats

Stats (Dante)

Health:15
Speed:4
Attack:5
Tactics:2
Innocence lvl 1: 6
Innocence lvl 2:8

Stats (Occult)

Health:10
Speed:5
Attack:4
Tactics:7
Innocence lvl 1: 6
Innocence lvl 2:8

[Ryuzaki]

That's a tough one Kaden, it would only be allowed for you since you have a split personality.

We'll see what the other GMs think of this, it's a very interesting thing that you brought up btw.

[Anarchy]

Well I'm just going to leave it in my character sheet until you guys tell me to change it

[Undying]

Well considering that they are technically two separate individuals...

However, the life part is strange... do they not share the same body (and hence have the same physical attributes)?

[Fect]

How would you feel about posting music here to fit along with the story?

Of course, It's not illegal.

[Anarchy]

Well considering that they are technically two separate individuals...

However, the life part is strange... do they not share the same body (and hence have the same physical attributes)?

they share the same body but the mind is a powerful thing and when Occult comes out the body adjusts itself to fit it's user.

[Z_Blitz]

Hmm... It'd make sense if the second personality was not "in harmony" with the main personality. From the way you post, I could only assume that they're both in synch to a certain extent. I mean Dante is willingly leaving the stage for his schezophrenic half.

Also, you can't change "physical" attributes about your character. In other words, you can't change stuff like HP, speed and physical attack power. It doesn't make sense IMO. Control over the innocence and tactics however, are changeable given that they vary from one person to the other. Note that the innocence type cannot change though. So if you're an equipment-type innocence wielder, you can't change yourself to a parasitic type when your alter-ego kicks in.

I'm not a GM so don't take my words to heart =P. I'm only stating my opinion even if it sounds more like instructing; sorry for that.

[Anarchy]

well I had to fit it within the 40 exp points available so I had to reduce Occult heath so that his tactics could be all the way up. . . the speed and physical attack part was a typo XD . Also I had no point in changing the Innocence type. That would make no sense at all. . .

[Z_Blitz]

Minimum HP is 15 anyway =.="

EDIT: My bad, I just realized it got bumped down to 10 =P.

Hmm... What I'd do if I were in your shoes is alternate my points between my innocence levels and tactics since those are the ones open to change really. Your innocence can change its shape and become sharper for instance, or a long range bazooka instead of a razor-sharp light saber =P. Your second persona can be smarter and more tactful but weaker at harnessing his innocence's full strength.

[Anarchy]

. . . seriously I though it was 10? Did it change again?

EDIT: Makes sense to me. Alright I'm going to do it like that then until further instructions from the mods appear

[Tyekanik]

I'm curious about taking damage, say Dante takes 5, and Occult comes out. Does occult have 5 hp, or would you transfer it to a percentage and occult would have 6.67?

[Anarchy]

Well I just adjusted it so that it doesn't matter but before I honestly don't know. . . I just went down by the same amount but that's because the percent idea didn't even come to mind. . .

[Ryuzaki]

Thanks for your opinion Blitz. :)

And I think that your two Stats is acceptable, as long as you keep the health the same. Besides that, I think it's fine, since your character has split personalities and that affects your RP greatly.

I'll approve your new stats Kaden. :)

[Anarchy]

Alright Thank You Zaki for your approval and Blitz for your help

[Ryuzaki]

No problem, I liek the idea anyways. :)

And a little heads up to everyone... Right after the current Arc ends, a new Arc will follow up that will have to do with begin our main story of the RP.

If you have any questions about it just ask here. And yes, you will recieve more EXP Stats for the new upcoming Arc, since it will be "harder".

[Anarchy]

Now a question a bout EXP the battle we had and the battle Tye had. . . how much EXP would we get and when do we get it?

[Undying]

You get EXP at the end of every Arc.

As for how much EXP you get, that depends on whether you won or lost your fights. Refer to the EXP sheet to see it.

Then you receive full EXP once the Arc has ended.

[Anarchy]

Ok so technically I won my fight (not sure if Tye did) but there was three people on my side against one Noah would the greater numbers on my side effect me negatively as in a group EXP that gets divided up or not effect me at all as in everyone gets their own EXP?

[Tyekanik]

:(

we ran away so we lost by default

I'm content with surviving :)

[Anarchy]

oh well don't feel bad I was close to death and from my understanding there was two Noah and two of you not very fair odds. . .

[Undying]

Every character receives the same amount of EXP for a victory, no matter the numbers.

[Anarchy]

Alright thanks for the clarification Undy

[Alerane]

I'm just clarifying, since I'm lost in all this, since my character stopped participating at a point due to my going away, my character won't be getting EXP points, right?

[Undying]

No, why should it? It was still part of the mission, and you are still part of the mission. Temporary inactivity shouldn't influence the overall EXP gain.

[Alerane]

But my character only fought a level 1 akuma, no actual stat use or interact during the actual fights O.o

[Anarchy]

All that means is that you won't get the extra EXP Me and Tye get for fighting Noah but you still get EXP for participation in the arc. Correct me if I'm wrong Undy. . .

[Alerane]

Oh okay. I didn't think we got EXP for none fighting related things was all. Thanks for clearing that up

[Anarchy]

Yup but like I said If I'm wrong Undy Correct me

[Ryuzaki]

Yes, everyone does get the 5 EXP points for completing and participating in the actual Arc. :)
And the fight EXP are bonus points basically, so you get rewarded for getting battle experience and everything.

As for the next Arc, everyone who participates will get 7 EXP + Bonus(if you fought) since it will be much harder than this. :)

[Anarchy]

And I'm a little confused on the leveling aspect. . . now do I need 30 EXP points to reach Commander or some thing else?

[Ryuzaki]

Yes, you need 30 more EXP points to reach Commander Level Exorcist. Then you gain Level 3 Innocence which will be 3 Stats higher than your Level 2 Innocence.

Then General Level Exorcist is a total of 120 EXP points. But that will take some time to reach.

And I'm still thinking of a way to have the Noah get a bigger advantage over you Exorcists, since we are practically Immortal, and we shouldn't take as much damage as you guys would..

[Anarchy]

Alright thanks for clarifying that for me

And I'm sure you'll find away to cheat me out of my victory again some how XD j/k j/k

[Ryuzaki]

NP :)

And you should know by now that cheating in battle like that is my specialty. ;)
Well, I am a Noah though.

And btw, I'm thinking about giving all of the Noah 10 more HP Stat Points... since we are Immortal...

[Tyekanik]

Bah, do it. I'll still rip you to pieces :p

Seriously though, I'm thinking its a good idea now. I want to be able to hit you hard several times as opposed to sucking most of the time to avoid killing you. I say this because I would likely not be the only one attacking you

[Ryuzaki]

Now I'm actually thinking about adding 15 HP points to all of the Noah. =/
And that would be our advantage. Either that or we can regenerate which causes 1/2 the damage that you give..

I'll think about it more though.

[Wacer]

gezz Ryuzaki and your immortality hacks, it is going to take a whole army to take you down next time XD but it is a good idea

About our level 2, can we already have it or do we have to have like a training post on how we obtained it. And for mine i was thing about having it be special in that having my static filed become like a permanent bubble around me that act like a damage reducer. would that be ok or should that be level 3 stuff

[Ryuzaki]

Yeah, I think I'll do the 15 EXP points, that should cover for our advantage.

And for your Level 2, you can either already posses it, or you can summon/discover it while battling in the RP, or make a post in your character history about it. All of those are fine. But you need to earn the Level 3 Innocence though.

And as for you bubble thing, well that could work I guess, but you'll only be able to "reduce damage" if you inflict damage on your own character during your post. Unless your opponent acknowledges it and is nice enough to reduce the damage of a few hits by 1 or something. But don't expect to see any mercy from me. lol

[Ryuzaki]

Omg, double post. :o

Well, I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the next Arc will be starting up today, once everyone has settled in the HQ/Earl's World and Komui/Earl gives you Exorcists/Noah/Akuma your next mission.

And I changed the Leveling of all the groups, so go check it out in the FAQ/ Rules Thread. I think you'll like the change. ;)

And if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask here or PM either myself or Undying.

[Undying]

Ohkee...

Just to get it straight... Exorcists get a +5 bonus to their Innocence upon unlocking level two? (so Innocence level 2 is automatically Innocence level 1 + 5?)

[Ryuzaki]

^Where did we post that?
It says that once you gain Commander Level, then you achieve Level 3 Innocence(which is +5 EXP Points Higher than your Level 2 Innocence).

If an Exorcist hasn't achieved Level 2 yet, I'd suggest they do so their Level 3 Innocence won't be weak.

But you don't get any extra bonus for level 2 if you achieve it. Well... I'll thin about that actually....

EDIT:
I've decided to gove an extra 3 EXP to your Level 2 Innocence ONLY if you've achieved it during the RP.

Does that seem fair?

[Undying]

Oops, sorry, typoot :P.

I meant to say level 3 XD.

I told you my brain cells were damaged ><.

Anyway.

What I meant was that once we get a level 3 Innocence, it's attack becomes automatically level 2 + 5, and any additions are added to this base number correct?

And as for Innocence level two, do as you wish, but this seems fair, since as I clearly show, it appears that my Innocence level 2 is weaker than my Innocence level 1 -_-.

[Ryuzaki]

Oops, sorry, typoot :P.

I meant to say level 3 XD.

I told you my brain cells were damaged ><.

Sheeesh, you even started to confuse me too. xD

Anyway.

What I meant was that once we get a level 3 Innocence, it's attack becomes automatically level 2 + 5, and any additions are added to this base number correct?
Yes that is correct, you get to have a Level 3 Innocence(Level 2 + 5 EXP) and you have 3 Bonus EXP Points that you get to add ANYWHERE that you want in your stats.

And as for Innocence level two, do as you wish, but this seems fair, since as I clearly show, it appears that my Innocence level 2 is weaker than my Innocence level 1 -_-.
Yeah, your Level 2 is much weaker than your Level 1..
How about for the people who achieve Level 2 Innocence during the RP(liek yourself) will get an extra 3 EXP Points to your Level 2 Innocence only.
And the character who already have Level 2 that didn't achieve it during the RP can get just 1 more EXP Point to their Level 2 Innocence.

I think that sounds fair. :)

[Tyekanik]

Suggestion: Arc Bonus Points

Thats it ^.^

Point is after an arc is completed, some undetermined method of selection would be used (voting seems natural) to decide who the masses think did the best job rp'ing for that arc. I would like some secretive method of voting myself (such as inundate Ryuzaki with pm's, that sounds fun)

What I was thinking was just pool everyone together regardless of what side they are on. Since i was originally thinking we should vote for best exorcist and best noah, it won't work quite right because there may only be one noah in a spot, and we don't give stuff away that easily. Still would like to have two people per arc winning points though.

Having multiple characters only increases the odds of you getting one character points if you rp that one the best, and no player will receive both sets of points.

Of course, any exorcist found voting for a Noah will immediately be excommunicated from the Order, and hunted down like the traitorous dog they are.

Just kidding, love you guys :)

Idea is for 3 xp points, something that won't hurt you not to get, but if someone does consistently well they will of course rise to the top.

This is also to promote a little challenge in rp'ing, a little incentive to really do well, and everyone loves bonus'.

Oh yeah, you narcissist's out there, no voting for yourself.

Questions? Comments?

[Alerane]

I like the idea. It rewards the people putting more into the RP.

[Ryuzaki]

Sounds interesting Tye. I'll think about doing that, I like the idea though.
And how many points would the winning RPer get in each Mission and Arc?

[Tyekanik]

Depends on the size, 3 is too much for a short mission but perhaps not enough for a very long arc. Once you have an idea of how long you want it to be or whenever its over we'd have to set a number before the voting. Just a quick thing

[Ryuzaki]

I'll go with that idea then. Would we still keep the +2 and +1 EXP for every battle you win or lose though? Or would we get rid of that idea?

[Tyekanik]

Battle xp would stay, this is soley for rp'ing ability - which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how a battle goes. I just like separate little things people can get, spreading the joy and all.

[Ryuzaki]

Okay so this is specifically only for RPing skills, I like the idea Tye. And don't worry, I won't cheat with the ballots to make myself win everytime. :p

[Fect]

"everytime..."

Very niiiiiiice~

I vote, just not for the government.

[Undying]

Hm, so wait. Let me get this straight.

What happens to regular mission EXP? Is it replaced with this voting system, or is the voting system an additional bonus of EXP?

[Ryuzaki]

^From what I've got out of it, it's just some Bonus EXP for being the best RPer in the Arc or Filler-Arc.

We would still have our regular mission EXP though.

[Undying]

Ah well, that's cool with me, then. I like the idea of bonus for good RPing.

[Ryuzaki]

^Yeah, it will give a reward to the person(or people) who RP really good.
And there would be only one winner I presume? Not the "best good guy" and "best bad guy" reward right?

[Undying]

One winner, I think. That way we can avoid "second place" and so on. One player gets it all (or any who tied).

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

And there would be only one winner I presume? Not the "best good guy" and "best bad guy" reward right

i think its should be the 'best RP-er' or sumthing.... just my opinion though xDD

[Ryuzaki]

Fair enough. We'll just have one winner then(unless tied like Undy said, then they both bet the Bonus EXP).
And we'll call it the "Best RPer Award" like Stony said. =P

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

LOL, im honored :D

and no voting for yourself :p

[Ryuzaki]

^Lol
Fine fine.. I won't vote for myself... :p

And we might add 10 or 15 HP Points to all Exorcists before they go on their mission. I don't think anyone will complain. ^^

[Tyekanik]

And we might add 10 or 15 HP Points to all Exorcists before they go on their mission. I don't think anyone will complain. ^^

This is the best thing I've seen since waking up.

About my bonus idea, yes its a Best Rp'er award, and giving it to only one person is fine I was just thinking two people would get it like in case of a more populous arc - its just that nobody has to know who got first and second, its only their business that they placed. I had intended first and second to be identical anyhow.

I purposely avoid putting people in 'ranks' and 'places' it was the basis of my secret voting part, so that people wouldn't know who got what votes. Nor the total.

[Ryuzaki]

^And here's better news, I actually did add 15 HP to all of the Exorcists and Akuma. I think you'll like that news. ^^

And yes, we will keep the voting completely confidential, it will only be between the GMs, no one else.

I should add that to the Rules Thread soon...

[Lethe]

How about you do it now so then I won't mess up when I put up my character later on, meow meow?

XP

(I kid~ Me no force anybody to do anything. Ever. Well, okie, there is the occassional do-this-or-else thingy, but that only applies to my brother.)

[Ryuzaki]

^Your character has been approved Pika. You can go to Komui and ask for a mission, which will be the Arc.

@Ai
I added 20 HP Points to our Noah since I didn't add it before. Sory about that. =P

[Ai]

...:/...So what does that mean for me?

[Ryuzaki]

Not much, it's just that I forgot to add 20 HP Points to your character Health since your a Noah.
All the other Noah have an extra 20 HP as well.

[Ai]

Mkay, I get it now.

[Ryuzaki]

And if you want to go to a mission, you can pick which ever one you want. You can let the Earl know in the Dining Room if you want, but you don't have to.

[Ai]

I'm already doing my thing...I'm not interested in fighting..Just cruising around.

[Ryuzaki]

That's fine, you can go to the Arc and hang out there with Xavier and I too. Just a thought. =P

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

*coughs slackers coughs* :D

LOL kidding. so how often do u do the voting? after every arc?

[atagu]

Hi my name is atagu
I'm 17 years old
I want join your club
tell me What should I do?:musak:

[Ryuzaki]

Hi atagu!
Well if you want to join the D.Gray-man RP then you must first create your own character.
You go here to make your character: http://forums.bleachportal.net/forumdisplay.php?f=398
Afterwards, a GM will Approve your character so you can get started.

If you have anymore questions, just ask here. :)

[Wacer]

ok i have a question GM's

what happens when you get into a fight where your enemy has far less speed then you. I mean say they have like less then half yours will it really have any effect or no.

[Ryuzaki]

^Yes, it will have an effect during battle. Let's say your opponent needs to physically touch you himself/herself and your much faster, then he/she will not be able to hit you hardly ever. Unless he/she has good tactics and is a good enough RPer to use the surroundings or his/her teamates in order to inflict damage.

Like if I(Constantine) want to get close to you and inflict some sort of damage, and your faster than me, then I wouldn't beable to catch you or anything, unless I used my powers(which is the speed of light) then it would be pretty hard to dodge that.

And also Speed will determine whether you will get hit more often in hand-to-hand combat. If I'm slow but powerful, and your fast but weaker, I won't be able to connect you as often as you will to me.

[Toukestu Zero]

Hello. I'm intrested in joining the RP. How do I do so?

[EDIT] Sorry, but i just found out how to register. Please ignoe this post. Thank you!

[Anarchy]

yeah undy about teh rules for this new arc Occults abilities let him control Akuma lvl1.5 and lower without resistance. Would I still loose the 5 HP points? Because he's not really doing anything just telling them what to do. I can Understand if Dante was out because his is more physical. . .

[Ryuzaki]

Well since it is Dante's Innocence ability, I'd say that he would get less damage than everyone else while fighting Level 1 Akuma.

And for your Luke stats, you didn't put enough points for his level 2, it's suppose to be 7 EXP Points higher thn Level 1 Innocence.

[Anarchy]

ah damn I'll go fix it

[Fect]

Was I supposed to start out in Lebanon... because I had no idea...

*slaps self once*

[Ryuzaki]

It's all good. We'll just pretend that you were there the whole time since you missed the last arc. =P

[Fect]

Heh. Thanks.

*mumbles* Why'd I have to miss the crime-spree one...

[Ai]

A suggestion now that we have like 40 people involved in the RP a simple dice system for battles..^^..

Something like this ne?

Attacking Multiple Targets
- If it isn't an ambush by one person then each person involved rolls a die with the same amount of sides as their tactics power.
- This proclaims the order in which each attack.
- Roll an sided die equal to the amount of people your targeting.
- The number that is rolled is the amount of targets you hit with your attack.
- Roll again with a die that has the same amount of sides as your attack power.
- The number that comes up is the Damage dealt to each target.
- Remove that number from their total HP.

Attacking A Single Target
- Each rolls their tactics power to discover who attacks first if it isn't an ambush.
- Roll your attack power and thats the Hp that the other person loses.


-----

Something like this also allows for you the Gm to bring in a defensive value for our stats...^^..Simple and easy for people to get the hang of, It'll tidy up the mass.."Entertainment" i was watching earlier.

[Fect]

Best that Ryu and Undy decide. I thought it was going to be a free-form RP...

[Seff vi Britannia]

We have stats, so it's not entirley freeform. : )

[Kabane]

yeah, but constraining it to dice rolls + adding a defensive stat totally kills it.

[Wacer]

I have an easy idea for attacking multiple characters that would lets us stay away from have dice

I say just divide the your attack power by the number that you plan to attack since your power would be weaker then if it was all focused on one person. So if you want to attack 2 you half it to each, 3 you dive by 3 so on and so fourth

just throwing the idea out there

[Tyekanik]

Thats what I was suggesting to Ryu, wacer :p
If you can hit for 20, you can do 20 points of damage, regardless of how many you attack, thats 20 points of damage. As it is you can do 20 damage in one huge concentrated attack, or hit everyone on the field for that same 20 damage? up to 80 damage per say? No good :p

If anything we need to tone down scales a bit, I really don't want to be destroying continents and planets by the max level :rolleyes:

Noah's and exorcists can have battles inside of rooms, but we can't have a battle without destroying cities at the lower levels

[Undying]

We don't... only massive AoE attacks damage buildings more than a little. The most we did so far was bring down a house, and 19th century buildings weren't what you call sturdy.

Basically only Ryuuken's or Seff's attacks can potentially destroy continents thanks to their abilities.

And maybe Ryuzaki's, too =/. Other than that though...

In regards to your suggestion though; I think that the nature of the attack should be considered before applying damage.

For example, if Nicholas raises a massive tsunami wave, it will cause 20 damage indefinitely, because it doesn't split the attack.

On the other hand, if Rave sends out an attack using his petals on three different targets, yes the damage would be reduced. Not halved, but still reduced (note that I almost never cause my full attack on even one target, let along on more than one).

So I suppose it's up to the fairness of the RPer, with naturally some moderation form the GMs.

[Seff vi Britannia]

The only mass destructions we've seen are what,

Rave destroying the hospital
Dies blowing up the beach
And Prof.


: \

[Ryuzaki]

^Yeah, that's pretty much all the power houses.

And as for the mulitple attack that was asked. Undy pretty much said it, so the RPer will just have to be fair and not godmodded. If we the GMs feel that it was too much, well just edit the amount of damage given to keep it fair. Sound fair right?

[Fect]

Has an idea for an arc:

A refuge of the order is attacked after one of them opens a small black onyx box. The last one to make contact with the order is the Bishop. The Noah are trying to recover the box after the Earl finds out from akuma what's going on, and the Order is trying to discover what happened, then seal or destroy it.

[Undying]

Fect, PM me that synopsis and what's in the box, and I'll add it to my ideas for future arcs <3.

[Fect]

Will do.

[Seff vi Britannia]

Idea for arc; (filler)

Well, currently, one Noah called Road Kamelot is stuck in the middle of Vietnam after Dies (the evil bastard!) decided to ship her there. (Of course, Constantine was in on the whole thing.) The Earl is upset that if Road misses school, he may have the teachers on his case, and as such needs her recovered. Of course, that fact she's hungry for blood dosen't help...

[Fect]

Can't she just use her doors to come back...?

[Seff vi Britannia]

That defeats the point of the lulz. :<

[Ryuzaki]

^lol
It was a funny idea while it lasted though. =P

@Fect's idea: I like your idea as well Can you forward me the Arc/filler-Arc as well? Thanks Fect. ^^

[Fect]

Awesome. Will do.

[Fect]

Idea #2 (filler-arc for sure):

A Skull (maybe Tapp) breaks free and reports about "an important dark matter source". Then burns and falls apart. "Is it a trap?" "Is it the Egg?"

Do we really know?

[Kabane]

"And Prof."

What is that supposed to mean. :<

[Fect]

That's you. Because of your avatar I think.

[Kabane]

lol i know it means me.. but what is he suggesting by it.

[Seff vi Britannia]

Well, you do KINDA cause tidal waves.

[Ai]

Filler/Arc Suggestion 1.

Brief Synopsis:

The Noah have recieved intelligence from one of their Akuma that the Exorcists have discovered an object in an old Abandonded Mining Facility in Africa, The Object which they claim to have found is capable of unleashing a power that can rival that of a Noah's Awakened ability.

It is up to the Noah to infiltrate the Exorcist controlled Mining Facility + Mine and to recover the Object and either
a) Destroy it
or
b) Steal it and carry it succesfully back to the Earls Mansion.

But thing arn't always what they seem in a war?

Filler/Arc Suggestion 2.

Brief Synopsis:

The call as gone out to the Exorcists that an innocence like signature has been detected in the English Countryside, They must travel to England and find this newly discovered innocence before the Noah discover her Identity and destroy her.

There will be a wide variety of people in the small english hamlet and each side must follow the clues dropped by
a) The earl in the Noah's case
and
b) The Black order in the Exorcists case
to discover the Innocence's identity.

A race to gain a new ally or to Destroy a potential enemy.

Filler/Arc Suggestion 3.

Brief Synopsis:

A ship is overdue for it's arrival in port, It can be spotted on radar some 10 Nautical Miles off the coast of Bermuda...An exorcist team + Finder are to be detached to find out what happened to the ship.

- Roles for 2 Exorcists + Finder as well as As many Akuma and Two Noah.

Trouble on the High Sea's

Filler/Arc Suggestion 4.

Brief Synopsis:

In soviet russia things run on Vodka, In soviet russia it is always cold, In Soviet russia people die every day, In soviet russia an army base has stopped reporting in to it's superiors..A newly developed weapon by the Russia army is being stored their in a missle bunker..

Akuma have been spotted in the woods surrounding the base..Can the Exorcists get in and find out what happened there?, Can they stop the Earl from gaining a potentially deadly weapon?

Misty White Death

[Seff vi Britannia]

radar? Missle bunker?

isn't this the 1800s?

[Kabane]

it's during WWI.

[Artemis]

I thought we're in the 19th Century with this RP.
Which means 1800s, no?

The tech in the series looks like it as well. Along with the culture and whatnot.

[Kenken]

Misty White Death
If we keep to the year the series is set on, then we can't do this because the Soviet Union was formed AFTER WWI(1914-1918) and ended late 1900s. Sounds good though and we could use another country like China or somewhere in Africa

[Fect]

It's Steampunk. The world has focused on the all-powerful ability of steam to run everything. That's why it seems 19th C.; and even though the first episode does say "Imaginary end of 19th C.," we'll have anachronisms. Some large, others small.

[Shinomori]

Could someone list for me how many people are on each side of this?

I might be coming back - I've eh...lightened my workload considerably, and I always wanted to do this, just never had the time, but I figure I'll join whichever side needs helping and such.

[Ryuzaki]

Good to see you back Shiro. :)

Suggestions

I for one would very much like to use dice with this rp as I've suggested before however I've come up with an idea which should satisfy everyone involved..

For the people that would like to use dice rolls every now and then in the rp whenever you make an arc at the same time you make another real arc not a filler one which has in it's title.

{Dice} after the end of the arcs name..This will signify that in that specific arc any battles that take place have to use dice..This will give people like myself and others a chance to do so.

At the same time the other arc won't have ti in the title and will instead follow the same rules that we've had so far..

This way we actually get to use dice..It also ensures that if people want to try dice then they can go in for one of these arcs once and if they like it keep on going in these arcs..If not then they can go back to the free rp arcs..

[Seff vi Britannia]

My suggestion is tone down the emphasis on stats. The RP got very stat-heavy all of a sudden.:/
