Thatkid, o tottaly agree with you now you say it.
But i don't know how we would fix it.
And i want to know because i will start something like this without having the same problem.
And for weas, could he be the leader of the Vikings or something like that?

I note that you've based both of your characters (this one and the one from two months ago that didn't get played) on the Ranger's Apprentice series. Remember that the YaK world and the Ranger's Apprentice world are totally seperate. Also, there is this useful guide which I assume you've already seen; you may want to trawl backwards through the thread a bit and see the descriptions and skills used by a few other characters to get an idea of what the world is like, as well. If you go to the YaK wiki you can find more detailed descriptions of characters and provinces that yours could start from.

I would like to join, is this ok ?






Name: Ingvar


Description:

Appearance: He’s a gigantic man, like two meter’s tall, with a big brown beard. He looks like he’s 22 years old. He has broad shoulders and blue eyes. He’s very muscular and wears wool trousers, a wool shirt and a leather vest. His brown hair is long.

Character: Ingvar is, like all Skandäiäns, also known as Seawolves, a very wild and strong man. He never flees a fight and enjoys slaughtering with his axe. But still, he’s a friendly and noble man, he helps where he can and always honors his debts and never lets his friends down.


Background: Ingvar comes from Skandäiä, across the high seas in the far north. He’s born in the year 395. And his father, named Ragnorok, a skirl of a ship. The Skandäin ships sail by the coast, plundering the local villages, taking their riches and taking them home before the storms come. (Viking like) His father was a skirl of one of these ships. Inkhvar grew up in Halgard, the capital of Skandäiä. He was trained and drilled like any other boy. He learned to fight with axe and shield and how to sail across the high seas. When he was 16, he went on his first raid, a small village, close to Skandäiä. After that, the bigger raids came. And on his 20iest birthday, he became the skirl of a ship, the Wolfclaw. And now, he went further than any skirl had dared ever before. He sailed further and further and further…..  until de storm took them, and crashed even the mighty Skandäiän ships. He lost all his riches but his life and washed on the shore.

Starting resources:
Battleaxe
Strength (+1)
Axefighting (+1)
Berserker (+1) (is this allowed? It’s like a martial trance.)

I need to be a place soon, but I'll comment on the resources and let Ardas and Shoot decide whether or not we're still at a point where players can create new continents/nations/etc (I think they should)

Axefighting and Strength do the same thing, by the looks of it. +1 to Melee.
Berserk, I could see providing +1 to Melee only when outnumbered. That's horribly not-optimal, but I guess that's ok?

YaK is about politics and war, not adventurers going around adventuring. YaK is about involving yourself within the tapestry that is being weaved alongside other players.
It is clear you want to play a wandering viking, and that you want nothing to do with the other PCs. So I have to ask you to reconsider.

I know my characters resemble those of the ranger's apprentice but it was not my intention to be like the and play like them I would rather go my own way along on with my character and it was not my intention to be like an adventurer who goes Adventuring I wish rather fight with my character and to be a bodyguard for certain humans and I've read that in ligoria a battle will start and I was planning to be there and if im allowd i would fight with them

And for weas, could he be the leader of the Vikings or something like that?

it sounds fun for me but is that not a little bit overpowered for me ??

[Ardas]

Weas, I'm sorry, but your current character is no good. I will have to veto it. Try thinking up a more medieval and feudal character.

Also, work on your grammar and stuff like commas and dots. It's hard enough for me to keep track of your stuff if its hard to read.

[weas90]

I changed it. I hope it isn't to hard to read it 

[Tiruin]

The origin is still the same, a non-existent place in the YaK universe.

Also, remember that everything is done with a purpose. Viking-styled civilizations usually have their own homeland in turmoil - overpopulation or poor soil quality, hence the need for pillaging other villages for their own needs, basically.

Also, thanks everyone for the help 

[thatkid]

Thatkid, If you have any issues with what ocurred, I allowed it. Shoot did another set of calculations and stated that the siege will ruin Ligoria. Kathos deiceded to surrender because of that.

To be honest I don't really care. I'm kind of still pissed that the shanghai'd substitute voluntary-GM was expected to work at thrice the pace of the regular voluntary-GM, and was bitched out for not doing so.
Do whatever, I'm done with the game.

[Ardas]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but really, we never asked you to do more than the siege. It was me and Shoot doing the temp-GM, and it still is.

As to your dissapointment with the game:  I understand and can see all the reasons behind your decision. We have talked among each other already and decided to carry out bit more focused game and GMing, but there are still limited byCG's absence.
You are always welcome though to either play or help with the game if you feel like it at any point in time.

[Shootandrun]

I'd like to apologize to the people who have been waiting for my rolls... It's the end of the year and I have alot of work to do right now. It should get better by the end of the week. Sorry for keeping you waiting.

[Ardas]

Hey, don't fret about it. There are tons of people in each game, (including all 3 that I currently play) that have people busy with exams. Good luck.

[Child of Armok]

With what did Cybergenesis make this map?

[filiusenox]

I made it...
And with Autorealm and Mspaint, using the two previous maps I could find.

It's not down again, is it?

[Child of Armok]

oke, thanks 

Also, good job on the map.

[filiusenox]

Also, good job on the map.

Thank you.

And this isn't a bump at all, dammit.

[Shootandrun]

If someone with a bot could join the IRC, I'll roll stuff

[Child of Armok]

Filiusenox, i have a question.
Walliam gave me a paper.
Do i have to give that to Tertyn or read it?
