Questions and Answers:Wait.. we post any character we would be in the LP or what?
The wonders of paying attention in class! Basically, you're deciding what characters are in my party. I'll handle plot characters (generally by booting them ASAP), but you can design and give Build Directions for your personal character, as specifically or generally as you want to; as new job options are unlocked, I'll put their skills and traits in the first post, as well as the general rules for character creation.
How are you making this ironman by the way? The game's already kind of ironman-flavored with the permadeath that's in it. Are you just not going to use resurrection magic and kick people out if they die during battle? Also, (for the behind-the-scene curiosity in me) I can see how three of the character choice things you're posing could reflect in-game characteristics, but does the wealthy/low-born option actually mean an in-game choice for us or is it flavor?
For the Ironman bit, there will be no savescumming. Phoenix Down and Resurrects are fair game if used in time to revive, but if we win a battle but lose 3 troops in the process, we won't be reloading. Also, all of their traits will be factoring into flavor, but "wealthy/lowborn" determines your equipment quality (priority is given to the wealthy), and influences how you approach classes, skills, and combat (fighting nobly vs. fighting dirty).
Barbarossa, if it were my LP you would end up as a summoner with talk skills who tried inviting everything in an attempt to catch em all.
Yeah, as soon as I saw his sheet I knew he'd be a beast-tamer. Also note: the mod adds in some encounters were you can gain the loyalty of animals being hunted by helping them, instead of just by using Orators.
Can I just say that zodiac chart sums up the Homestuck trolls without actually trying
You know, I realized that too. This might be the very chart used to write the Trolls.
