Happy labor day!

I didn't really roleplay until I migrated down to the lower boards on this forum. Before that just vidya.
The link Ross dropped, (and which has since 404'd), encompasses most of what I know.

Thale's brother

7 strength, 438 pounds!? Are his wings literally silver?

Yes, they are.

[Rolepgeek]

My parents met through RPGs. (whoo family mythos revolving around their old characters whoo)

However, even though I've been 'playing' DnD and the like since I was like 6, I only have maybe 4 or so years of practical roleplaying experience.

Mystical Realms was where I got started in an actual sense of becoming a good roleplayer. And it took a while...

Yes, they are.

Silver's pretty dang dense, thus heavy. I'd be surprised if he could fly without the assistance of magic (or, well, keep a good posture). Dude's heavier than Jewel and that's saying something.

Maaagic. Also, do note I said they were primarily decorative. He can't necessarily fly well .

[Xanmyral]

Considering he's a priest of Bree, I don't doubt magic is what gives him impeccable posture and grace. Wings are unwieldy but because they look nice they probably don't hinder him, going by the logic of Bree we were given earlier with chain bikinis and all that.

With the gods though, you can always take a weird route. We have one person who's so devout into one that they consider all the others false and idolatrous, and another that recognizes the others but follows a false/fake/nonexistent goddess.

However, following a real god(dess) is generally recommended due to the various goodies involved in such.

Oh, by the way, you forgot the person who's going to end up bringing back/out a primordial force of power into the world and starting a religion based around worshiping something completely indifferent to anything you know or care about.

Basically a musical eldritch entity. Like if Elvis and Cthulhu had a baby.

[Xanmyral]

I admit I thought you were talking about the sun elves and their ritual until you mentioned the musical eldritch entity.

Also, with that, makes me sad that you didn't name Daeth Erich Zann, but that's mostly because I love me a good reference.

[Remuthra]

I thought you meant the voice in my head claiming to be Arnum for a moment there.

[Rolepgeek]

What?

Oh, no, that's just Daimonas.

[Remuthra]

Oh, alright. Never thought of that.

An applicant for a melee/misc npc slot:

Spoiler: Donlir Lichenrock, Melee Ranger Dude (click to show/hide)

Name:Donlir Lichenrock
Race: Wood Elfkind
Age: 34
Height:5'8"
Weight:140lb
Appearance: Broad-shouldered but lightly built, he sports a mane of wiry black hair that's been twisted into thick dreads and tied into a loose knot to keep it on his back. Sharp features, a large nose & a goatee. Eyes are dark brown, almost black. Light-skinned.
Strength 8, Stamina 18, Agility 15, Speed 12, Endurance 16, Willpower 15, Intelligence 9, Perception 14
HP/MP: 37/29
Level: Martial Artist 3, Pionic 2, Ranger 5
Virtues:
Critical - Disciplined: Donlir is a training fanatic- he starts each morning with intense physical and mental training, sticks with his regiments, follows orders. He goes the extra mile, and when needed, he'll go the extra twenty.
Major- Leader: In spite of his small stature, Donlir knows how to give orders. He's respected by his men for the tight ship he runs, and respected by his commanders for getting results.
Major- Pathfinder: Donlir is experienced traversing dense forests, desert dunes & canyonland, surviving off the land as he goes. Remaining undetected, tracking & trapping are specialties as well. He learned from the best when it comes to the ranger business
Flaws:
Critical- Arrogant complex: Donlir grew up in a wood elf community but frequently had contact with high & sun elves who belittled his heritage and himself as 'boisterous and hedonistic'. It didn't help that his parents were house-servants in a high-elf household. After tragedy saw him swept away to humanlands where he learned his trade, he rejected the stereotypes of his culture and looks down upon anyone who isn't as disciplined as himself. He's also left with a lingering feeling of insufficiency- his deepest fear is being found lacking, and being repeatedly disrespected can lead to unstable consequences.
Major- Passive aggressive revengeance: Donlir is the kind of guy to keep grudges, make like everything's fine, and then 'accidentally' leave the person who slighted him to be ripped apart by wolves.
Major- Difficult to find: Donlir slinks away frequently to avoid contact with his 'peers' and/or to train. If he isn't expected to be somewhere, you probably won't find him without a rather loud search effort.

Hobbies:
Critical- EXERCISE!

Feats:
Imbued muscles- Donlir uses kinetic psionics to greatly enhance his punchy bits. He looks like a bicycle but hits like a truck.
Inertia Manipulation- Donlir uses telekinetics to drastically increase his jump height & running speed. His strides are long & his jumps impossibly high.
Collateral- Donlir has practiced using Pyrokinetics to augment his abilities, and as such has learned a few things about self-preservation. He can redirect heat around and away from his body.
Acrobatic Parkour- Donlir's high-flying antics let him traverse difficult terrain at very high speed.
Batman- you know that batman trick? Yeah that one. He likes to do that, to the consternation of his conversation partners.

Alignment is Lawful neutral. No idea for gods, most likely casual/none.

Given the strength of that dragon-guy, threw the whole 'weaker than a hero' bit out the window & just made the character as he should be. Not like he'll be getting much stronger in our adventures, after all.

Spoiler: Banneret, Summoner wonder-child (click to show/hide)

Name:Banneret
Race: Caretaker of Zakai's aspect of Loyalty
Age: He looks 12.
Height:4'9"
Weight:90lbs
Appearance: A young boy with dimly glowing gold eyes. Dark skin, black hair, cropped with a fade.
Strength 3, Stamina 8, Agility 10, Speed 7, Endurance 7, Willpower 27, Intelligence 30, Perception 20
HP/MP: 19/48
Level:Summoner 7, Bodyguard 1, Caretaker 2, Teacher 3
Virtues:
Critical: Loyal Son- Loyalty is woven into every inch of Banneret's being, serving with a great house until it has officially dissolved and his acquaintances dead. He has seen generations of his house grow up, reproduce, and die, faithfully giving his strength & wisdom to each in turn. He is a great asset to whatever family he serves.
Banneret knows the sciences, can teach them well, and yet has plenty of time for play. While he prefers to act & operate as a child, he can adopt a more mature manner when it's appropriate.
Major: Life Unending- Banneret doesn't age, requires little sustenance, and does not sleep no matter how physically exhausted he becomes.
Major: Child Genius- Little escapes Banneret's notice, he's quick to formulate plans and has a knack for solving difficult problems
Flaws:
Major: Naivety- Banneret, while excellent at formulating attack plans or designing defenses for obvious & defined enemies, he has trouble expecting deceit & sniffing out treachery.
Major: Darkness- Banneret sees particularly badly in the dark. Worse yet, he's fearful of it. Phobic, even, though he's learned to control it. Even so, it doesn't take very long for him to be overwhelmed.
Minor: Childish- While he shifts and begins lessons promptly, Banneret otherwise gets carried away in his child mode. It takes a stern voice to snap him out of it.
Hobbies:
Critical: Games of all ages. You name it, he's played it.

Feats:
Master Summoner- Banneret pulls creatures and things out of the aether at a whim. Whether it's a Giant Mastiff mount, 300 giant fireants, or a nice toy boat, it takes moments for it to materialize.
Puppet master- Banneret can simultaneously directly control around one dozen creatures
Long Range Transmission- Banneret can directly control his creations at extreme ranges, (up to 300 miles, though it gets more difficult as the distance increases).
Creationnnnnnnn-Banneret can extend the time his summonings persist by pumping more mana into them at a slightly increased cost
Myelinated Manastreams- Mana cost reduction
Double-Myelinated Manastreams- Further mana cost reduction

Lawful good of course, he worships Zakai and his house.

Same deal, lvl 13 this time with high stats.

This came to mind.

This is a very cool-looking roleplay. I'm thinking of joining.
However, this'd be my first forum game, and it looks complicated. Oh, and it looks like some people have gone a bit crazy. As in, amnesiac dwarf-from-DF-crazy. With a side of sociopathic behavior.

Hello~
