Daros Adventuring Party OOC
IC is over here.

"-Ah, Daros? That world is nuts! I visited it sometime ago in my youth. Seems that there is a trainstation two towns over that leads to it! Fancy that, a train travelling between worlds, not cities! No but, as noted, that place is practically insane! The group I travelled with in there were attacked by gnomes wielding pants! Effectively! They killed two of our guards! That doesn't mean that the caravan didn't go through, but it was still an odd happenstance! Of course, the place has its normal people, like everywhere... Just don't let your guard down, anything can happen there."

=DAROS====================================================================OOC Thread=

Hello, and welcome to the Daros adventure RP! Well, the preparation thread for it at least! This RP is going to be about an adventuring party of 5 people, who had decided to work together since in groups, you can survive harder stuff, and that stuff often has tons of cash and loot.

Now you might ask, “what is Daros?” Well my friend, it is a world I have worked on for soon to be 13 years! It is a mysterious blend of anything I find interesting, meaning that the closest term you can use for it is a “fantasy sci-fi kitchen sink”. You are just as well to locate a chaos magi with a submachine gun, as you are to locate deathrobots, powered by physical love matter, spawned from a likeamancer. It is in general, a world of utmost insanity and imagination.

This RP will start “in medias res” of a weapons bunker that you all have decided to check out, due to rumors of necromancy and doom. Because of this, you all know each other to an extend, either being friends from before the group was started, or having just tagged along in the inn where you all met. No need for playing a stranger, as that can get the group killed. You all met on a “hub world”, a planet that has a lot of traffic from the space faring races.

To begin with, we need 5 characters!

=DAROS====================================================================OOC Thread=

Rules of engagement:
  • Be friendly to your co-players. Also have fun. It's just a game. No need to go insane because someone decides to be a little stuck up about their predicament.
  • All dicerolls and the system itself will be handled by me, obviously, to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
  • Not everyone needs to post for me to post and thus advance the story. Often the story will go on when >50% of the players has posted. Smaller actions can be managed between story continuation posts.
  • If you need to "powerplay" or otherwise make another player's character do something for either a story moment, or even in combat, converse it with the other player through PM, and get everything sorted before starting the "powerplay".
  • This wont update daily, at best once in a while. I am pretty depressive right now, and text is easy enough for me to handle without me scratching my arms into blood.
  • Just a reminder, have fun.
  • More rules might be added here later on.

For some worldbuilding, I direct your attention to the Darosian Race profiles.

It is not complete, at all, but it gives a good overview of some of the races.

There is also a list of Darosian terms, which can grow as it becomes relevant:

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Celly

"Hello, everyone! I'm Celly! I'm a light faerie! Yay!"

Race: Light Elemental (Custom)

Class: Irresponsible Playgirl

Homeworld: Light elementals may form in any location of sufficient abundance and intermingling of electromagnetic fields and magic. As such, most light elemental communities exist in the heart of main sequence stars, but it is not unheard of for them to spontaneously form on planets when the proper magical conditions exist. Most typically, planet-bourne light elementals are an unintended (and often unnoticed) result of wizards working with mirror magic.

Metabolism and physiology: Like most elementals, light elementals do not "eat" in the sense that most physical organisms do. Rather, they are able to take up quantities of their element from the environment and directly incorporate it with themselves, and return quantities back to the environment as desired. Light elementals in particular are able to "emit/absorb" light of most frequencies, step its frequency up or down, and emit/absorb it again as desired. In theory it would be possible to "starve" a light elemental to death by confining it inside a lead box of sufficient thickness to stop ambient light from penetrating the box, thus depriving the elemental of light input until it's own natural radiations caused it to lose all its energy. However, in practice an elemental in such a situation could simply shed the portion of their "body" manifest in the visible spectrum, and travel through the lead as purely gamma radiation, with acceptable particle loss due to collisions in the process, then simply reabsorb ambient light to reconstitute the losses once free. As such, light elementals are most practically dealt with through use of magic.

Appearance:
The majority of Celly's "body" is composed of high frequency light in the gamma radiation range. In her natural state she is not visible to the human eye. However, she typically gathers visible light around her to form a visible "body" for the convenience of her comrades, generally appearing in one of two preferred forms:

Faerie Form

Height: About 8 inches tall. Usually.
Weight: Variable, but in the vicinity of 1.7x10^−18 kg
Eyes: Glowing white. Usually. Her emotional state affects her colors.
Hair: Composed of ethereal light of various shades that is constantly in motion.
Body: Resembling that of a slender human female with four glowing light wings, her form constantly emits glowing sparklies, colloquially known as "fairy dust." More intensely when she experiences emotion or uses magic.

Wisp Form

Height: A one-dimensional point of light that appears about 3-6 inches across due to its brightness
Weight: Variable, but in the vicinity of 1.7x10^−18 kg
Spark: Light
Affinity: 100%

Personality
Celly could generally be described as happy and friendly. Bubbly, even. However, due to the unique mental landscape resulting from her vastly different physiology she could be also be described as having a Blue and Orange Morality. She doesn't sleep. She doesn't age. She doesn't experience pain. Her "eating and drinking" action is more akin to breathing light. Consequently her worldview is so drastically dissimilar to that of her comrades that it is not unheard of for her to present a danger to them. A fact to which she is cheerfully oblivious.

backstory
Bio: Celly is mentally fixated in the present. More specifically, her mind does not retain memory, but rather exists as a perpetually changing representation of "the now." From her perspective, "biography" is not a valid concept.
Fears: "Oh, what a pretty name! Fea! Fea..rrrr! I love it! :)"
Hates: "Hats? I love hats!"
Loves: "I love everybody!"

Stats
Health Part: 1
Magick Part: 8
Aggression: 1
Fortitude: 1
Nimble: 16
Brilliance: 4
Spirit: 8
Awareness: 12
Companionship: 6
Allure: 8

Equipment
None

Weaponry
None

Inventory
Due to the nature of Celly's physiology it is psychologically peculiar and awkward for her to carry around physical objects. Both her body and the dress she appears to wear while in faerie form are composed purely of light. She's certainly capable of interacting with physical objects via magic, and in so doing she could mimic the action of "carrying something around."

However, the majority of the physical environment is permeable to her body, and translucent to her vision. She passes through objects as easily as physical creatures pass through air, and sees through rock as easily as you would see through water. Consequently, her internal mental construct of the external environment is extremely different than the typical physical creature. For example, you might think nothing of walking through a doorway into a room, seeing a bag of gold on the floor, picking up the bag of gold, then walking back out through the door with it. Celly, given the same task, would be more likely to see the bag of gold through the wall, travel to it in a direct line, use magic to pick it up...then get stuck in the room because she can't take the gold back through the wall with her. "Door" being an unintuitive concept for her.

From Celly's point of view, the act of carrying a physical object that can't pass through other physical objects turns something as simple as a house into a maze. Consequently, while she may be capable of having an "inventory item," from her point of view is it a very inconvenient thing to do that serves no useful purpose. What is she going to do with a bag of gold?

"But mirrors are lots of fun! Oh, look...there's one! Zooom zooooomm....wheeeeee!" *Bounce*

P.T.W. (Damnit too late.)

Wishing to be waitlisted after Burkhart.

* Tiruin casts Curse on Timezones! It is not that effective.

Actually, looking it over, LordBucket, what's Celly's class? You kind of need one.

Class: Irresponsible Playgirl

In the non-sexual dictionary definition sense of the word.

Light elementals don't use money. "Profession" is not a valid concept. Some might call her an "adventurer" but she's too flighty and irresponsible to seriously follow up on quests, and would have a difficult time remembering to turn them in.
