Balls, well I guess I'll plan something else out then.
I'm thinking on maybe going with what I described for his backstory, then saying that he found the old religion as a way to focus his out-of-control abilities, or to get more precise results, perhaps would that work?
Sorta blends with what I was planning anyways, never considered this :D.
Oooo, and he can be supporting that whole rebellion/whatever it was because some kind of testing that was done on him... or some shit like that.
Yay, creative juices are flowing once more.
Will definitely have to refine his backstory much more though, this is all throwing down seriously basic ideas.
Need a name though.... Mentis or something...

Damn. I have to say I am proud of all of you. I think these are some of the best character bios I have ever seen on this site. Jetrall, the point of view you took and the style are fresh and enjoyable to read. Everything you typed fit in perfectly with the lore or its lack, thereof. Really great, a good read.
It seems like we have three Asrai and only one human so far, though. I wonder if this trend will continue with the rest
(By the way, if anyone is following this thread and not sure if they want to join or not after the RP has actually started, I will make a supreme effort of communicating with you and we will probably be perfectly capable of working you in.)
I was hoping for some sort of love affair with a halfling child when you mntioned the man complimenting her. Then her child would be taken away and she wantsto her her child back. Oh well. Still a good story.

That could have been a good touch, too. It would add a little bit more of personal conviction to her motives in a different light. But I think what he did was good- the man used "love" as a way of building a temporary relationship with her so she would give him information, although because of her naivet?, I would imagine she would have, anyway (although the man would not have known that).
Oy, Turmobil have you ruled out that bladed quarterstaff idea?
I was actually planning on using that as my chars wep, then you said something about using it, so I was gonna leave it to you, since you voiced your intentions first.
Anyways, seems you've settles on a warhammer, so you down with me using the bladed staff?
And Seth, if I were to create a half Asrai, half human character, should I basically halve the maximum age of the Asrai when determining the age range of my character?
Edit: Hmm... reconsidering my entire character right now, how long will we have to submit a character?

That is a very good question! I never thought of it before. I would say it would be fair to do the following:
Typical human lifespan in Amyorne is roughly eighty years of age. An Asrai lives approximately one hundred times as long as a human does, so the max age of an Asrai would be roughly eight hundred.
I would say this: take the percentage of humanity and deduct that percent of the total age from the actual age.
So, say you are a halfling, literally, with a bloodline of 50%/50%. You would take the max age of an Asrai (800) and multiply it by 50% (400), and then subtract that from the normal Asrai age (resulting in 400 max age), and then add eighty years to compensate for humanity.
So, if you were 80% human and 20% Asrai, it would be (800 - (80% * 800)) + 80 = 240. If you were 99% human and 1% Asrai, it would be (800 - (99% * 800)) + 80 = 88.
However, if you have a mutt (part human/Asrai) with a true Asrai (100%), things would get more complicated.
Ah, I'll make a note of adding an age calculator for Asrai, Darka'Numi, and humans to the site tools. I just finished redoing the database and scripts so that members other than staff can register (for commenting purposes), but I'll make that the next thing I work on.
Edit: Hmm... reconsidering my entire character right now, how long will we have to submit a character?
You have until the RP starts, which might be a week or two. Lots of time. And even after that, as long as you do not use that character in the RP, you can rearrange it and then have it introduced very easily in any place in Volume I, which is the first leg of the journey (just make sure you talk with me first).
TURMOBIL, FUCK!
Ruined my sense of originality :(.
To my credit though, never played that game :D.
But yeah, basically that style cept a more rugged looking chain, basically take your day to day looking chain, and give it some bladed edges on every other link a safe distance from where you would grip it, or something.
I'll try to find a suitable pic, theres gotta be one somewhere.
Aha, thanks for clearing that up Seth :D.
Btw, nobody better take my half Asrai/human character.
Else I'm stealing your first born child.
Anywho, back to thinking up a decent backstory....
And btw Seth, you mean 10 times longer, math is a bit off there :D.

Ah, yeah. No one needs to know I nearly failed my Algebra I test today You can trust the tool to be accurate, though. I may suck at math, but making programs that can do it for me I am very good at.
I have a question about the Darka'Numi.
Is it possible to have a Darka'Numi as an ancestor or anything similar?
Or is the Darka'Numi just plain NPC's?
Good question. At this point, for simplicity's sake, I am going to say no. However, maybe once more things are finalized further along in the RP, this will change. Having a Darka'Numi background... Mixing it with the possibility of an Asrai and human background, as well... It's just a bit too much to consider at this point.
The thought of a child entered my mind. She was too young (as far as I was concerned) and too naive to get involved with a man in that way. She probably didn't even understand the concept of sex. Besides, I wanted to make it clear that she was being manipulated. There was no love. It was just a trick.
Her conviction comes from a feeling of great loss - her family, of course, but also the world and nature (to which she feels a very strong bond).
Which would include explosive ammunition powders like that since I believe around the medieval era (which is what we're striving for, more or less), Asia was the only area with explosives like that.
It's tenable, though. I'm pondering introducing alchemy and chemistry in to the world through some NPC's, and that may include explosive powders, so I'm not sure for the future, but for the present I will say no.
over the last two weeks i have been working on rpm v1.2. The site has undergone some aesthetic changes and new functionality has been made. Regular users are now able to be registered and comment on articles (if you would like an account, contact myself or another doa staff member on the diablofans forums), and all users may now edit their passwords and user names via the edit profile link under member options in the right menu bar when logged in.
Also, this has been in the rpm for some time, but, the following tags, when put in a comment or new article body area, will format your text (replace curly brackets with squared brackets): {b}bolding{/b}, {i}italicize{/i}, {url=full url here}link title{/url}, {st}section title{/st}, {img}full image url{/img}, and {quote=name}quoted text{/text}. Additionally, when logged in, you may automatically have the system set up a quote of a comment by clicking the quote link on the bottom-left corner of any comment. If you own the comment, you may edit (or delete) it by clicking the edit button in the bottom-right corner of your comments.
I hope everything so far is working well for everyone. The design may look kind of wacky in internet explorer. Jetrall might have a new design ready in the future.
If you find any bugs, please contact me.

Anywho, so from what I understand, the maximum age for a human in this RP is 45?
So there's no possibility to be a seasoned veteran or anything similar?
I just said 45 because where I live people don't do much with their lives after 45. If you can explain it and it seems fair and rational, you can put something higher. I would prefer not having a character below fifteen, though. Too much puberty action before fifteen :rolleyes:
I'm thinking on maybe going with what I described for his backstory, then saying that he found the old religion as a way to focus his out-of-control abilities, or to get more precise results, perhaps would that work?
