Calling on: DT!, Allenslob, Warklaw, The-Ace-Of-Spades(And anyone else who wants in!)

[thewriter]

hey guys! I am planning a big big RP that will be launched in an XP forum. But I want some things to be planned out - so we have an idea of things. Cause one thing I noticed is that in some roleplays, too many people enter in not really sure of what to do, and it ends up getting too crowded or the roleplay gets choppy.

So, I guess to start, list out scenes or things that your character would do to start off the RP. whether it's their job, gambling, or hell, even sleeping, just list it out and we can group pick the best one to start with, how the other characters enter, speculate things that can happen, etc.

Also...where should this roleplay be? XD

[Allenslob]

aight dude, in all seriousness, i want my character to be the good guy, as for his job, you can decide, maybe he can be asleep....Rofl


any one here have a myspace with myspace im? if you do pm me with it so we can talk about it on there

[thewriter]

well, I'd prefer that we all post in here, that was everyone has a say and knows what is suggested.

and lol XD sure, you can be a good guy. If everyone wants to be a good guy, then we can just make a bad guy and pass him around XD

But i dunno...sleeping might be kind of hard to work with, cause even if you describe a dream, our characters, unless they were in their heads, its not something they know about or can respond to.

(also, by job i mean occupation XD)

[Allenslob]

ok, i won't be asleep, bummer i love sleep, but anyways, my job/occupation varys with the thread so i can make it anything i want, with in reasonable limits of course, but yeah if you need a specific job just tell me and ill make it that one

[DT!]

My character is a monster hunter by trade occupation and birth, but he does have a side job of making weapons and armors and trinkets. Though those animal loving fanatics would have something to say about his jobs. Anyways what ever suits you guys I'm game for it.

[thewriter]

okay, that's it XP the point of this thread is not to say 'whatever you guys are up for, i am too'. while that can be true of many people, and i'm not saying its bad, i'm just saying if we all do that nothing will get done. so participate everyone! have an opinion! XD

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

Well the characters kinda make it difficult to come up with an idea. I mean we are talking about a gambling hitman, a beast elf, a monster hunter, and a vampire......that alone is quite the unlikely group of hero's if I dare say. I mean if we all shared a similar occupation then i suppose that could work but still its unlikely that four assassins would work together to kill someone.....unless it was a group of people that needed killing. Or maybe its a race or another form of compitition{murdered that word} between our characters. Unless we plan on having our characters fighting, then I suppose I could come up with a few scenes.

{and allen, maybe your occupation should be different on althanas then it is in RL..........just kidding}

[Allenslob]

or maybe it can be like smoking aces

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

I smell Copyright!!!! No, but seriously, that does sound like a decent idea. One man that we have to kill, and all of us are trying to collect the bounty and since we dont wanna split it then we are forced to fight one another. It doesnt sound to bad but we would have to change it up so that its not exactly like the movie tho.

[Allenslob]

its not, we dont have a girl with a .50 cal. in the hotel across the street. :)

but yeah we need to make it a different from the movie

[thewriter]

hmmm...an interesting thought.

One idea I had is that we all are assigned to kill the same guy, but this guy is very powerful and is sending people to kill us so we're sort of forced to ban together otherwise he'll just kill us all off one by one.

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

Them FBI agents got pwned by the .50 cal, that one guy went flying across the room like a rag doll. Any idea tho on how to change it so that its not the same?

{personally I wish we did have a girl with a .50 cal. It would add +25 to our beastly points. The only way it could be anymore beastly is if it had chuck norris or Mr T. hahaha}

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

oh I like her idea too!

[thewriter]

hey! I'm a woman with a .50 caliber....crossbow!XD

and woot! <3 but where is this gonna take place?

[DT!]

I like the idea, but that would mean everyone of us would need to have a different infoman and a different reason to kill the bad dude for the money. Which is great cause that's what rping is all about. As for where? The Citadel and Fallien seem like decent places to do the deed, but Corone also works.

Idea for the bad guy: A Shapeshifting Intelligent...thing. It doesn't have an actual shape other then what it changes too, but some say its real shape is a normal human sized being with horns and fans along with skin as touch as nails, but those are just some rumors. Being around for thousands of years made it able to take control of small towns and cities and using their supplies to feed its hunger and prolong its life. On the other hand since the way it usually takes over the city is by "saving" it and becoming the mayor it wouldn't be hard to see that it can make multiple forms of itself and those clones can change as well.

>.> Well just an idea anyways.

Edit
Now that I think about it Raiera might work too.

[thewriter]

mmmmm....interesting thought, but that doesn't fit what needs be required for the personality/ability of the bad guy

so far he:

~must be very smart and very cunning
~has a high place in government
~rich
~very well guarded
~hard to get to

well, at least if we want the idea of all of us banning together to do the bounty. I was thinking of a corrupt government official - a dark elf maybe. Perhaps he is the Captain of Guard to a very big city and abuses the power to do whatever the hell he wants, but in a way that none of the men up top know about it (i.e: doubling the tax on the townsfolk, but turning in the real tax to the men up top, keeping the rest for himself)

This puts him in a position of wealth, securely guarded, corrupt, etc.

Just my thoughts on this.

[DT!]

Problem is my character wouldn't kill a Dark Elf because he was assigned to it. He's not a bounty hunter persay, but if the Dark Elf was some type of monster? Or used rare monsters to do his dirty work? Then Reimund would go after the evil bastard on principle.

[thewriter]

um...he could be mutating wild beasts or fusing them and setting them on the streets with the city guard for chasing down thieves maybe.

[DT!]

After thinking it over a bit on how much I'm going to keep up to the very definition of monster I saw(with help from a friend) that using the term monster loosely would be better way of progressing the character instead of sticking to "Oh man no I can't he just hunts creatures." Monsters are people too you know. They have a right to die just like everyone else. Sorry for being so difficult, but I do like the swarm of creatures idea you have there.

[thewriter]

alright then ^^ its no problem. And we prolly shouldn't use it - sounds like a bit much. (not only that, I can name a few places its been used already. that would make it cliche XD)

[Allenslob]

ok so what are the planes so far?

we are all searching for a corrupt politician thats heavily gaurded, but we all go at him by ourselfs first then we fail and then we go at him together?

and we all have different hires?

[thewriter]

alright, this is what we have so far:

We are all hired by different people(who all have different reasons we can come up with) to kill this corrupt dark elf official. He is taking money from the people, and causing some to starve. This official has a bug in the taverns or places that we're arranging this, hears of it, and tries to kill us. on top of that, his home is a well guarded mansion that may as well be a fortress. We all will have to work out a way to run into eachother, but there is an agreement made to work together to kill this corrupt man.

Alright - I'm trying to think of where it could go from there. any ideas?

[Warklaw]

Well the characters kinda make it difficult to come up with an idea. I mean we are talking about a gambling hitman, a beast elf, a monster hunter, and a vampire......that alone is quite the unlikely group of hero's if I dare say. I mean if we all shared a similar occupation then i suppose that could work but still its unlikely that four assassins would work together to kill someone.....unless it was a group of people that needed killing. Or maybe its a race or another form of compitition{murdered that word} between our characters. Unless we plan on having our characters fighting, then I suppose I could come up with a few scenes.

{and allen, maybe your occupation should be different on althanas then it is in RL..........just kidding}

don't forget a werewolf >:3

[Warklaw]

I think that my reason for going out of my way to kill a dark elf would be because they have information on one or more of these possibilities:

1: One of the Twelve Rune Fangs

2: A way to suppress Ayerwulf's slow degeneration into a Wulfen (a werewolf but trapped in Full Moon state for all time)

3: Who lead the raid that killed his whole tribe (could be the dark elf himself)

4: who killed Nalva's parents

[thewriter]

heh heh heh...alright. and what happens from there? Do we kill him, turn him in and then just end it? go separate ways? what? do some characters bond and continue to do another mission?

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

Ok sorry for not posting in a while but i was thinking of this. Instead of meeting all at once why not cluster with one another then merge into a big group? example: we start off going solo then maybe me and allenslob can meet first and team up while some place else, maybe the writer, DT, and warklaw ban together. It doesnt nessesarily have to be those groups but I'm just using them for example. As for what happens at the end it would be kinda difficult to determine who would kill him, unless we all stabbed him at the same time......that would be pretty beast I suppose. But my character is a hitman so I dont really see him taking prisoners either but I wont be difficult, if everyone else wants to capture him then I'll make an exception.

[thewriter]

Narida would prolly ask to kill him herself, because if you see my profile, the way she keeps Neoku alive is by killing people unfit to live and then cutting a forelock from their head that will later become Neoku's fur.

And I like that idea - I've started out or grouped very close to the beginning with Warklaw a lot in other forums, so I think that it'd be better if i didn't cluster with him first - it would add to more dramatic tension later on if i waited.

Also, I think this story should take place in Alerar, since the guy we must kill is a dark elf. Perhaps me and Ace should start in the port city Noria and the others in Kuchuk(the dwarf city) with our target Captain of guard of Ettimere. that way, we will all end up in Ettimere eventually, and we can make separate attempts in our two groups, notice each other, and then compromise to work together to complete this mission.

as for what happens after, we'll have to see how relationships develop in the story post-assassination, and see how things go ;)

[DT!]

This is turning out to be a serious thing, but what if someone wants to start by themselves? It is a kind of uneven number you know?

[Allenslob]

do you want it to be an even number?

[Azazel Relizic]

i can come in if yall want me to, i could be a good guy, lol

[thewriter]

sure, hope right on in! XD

[Azazel Relizic]

ok, if you want my opionion, haha cant spell, then i like thewriters idea, i think we should all be in a different section of the "world" and get a job for a hit or what not against the person we have to kill, the dark elf i believe, and then slowly join up and become a group to kill the dark elf. just for show, some of us should die, just because its cliche that everyone survives

[Warklaw]

Ayerwulf would most likely help Narida and Neoku out because of their history with each other

[thewriter]

I like Az's idea. Someone should kick the bucket. any volunteers? XD

And I can understand that, but the thing is is that Narida really doesn't need help. this is something that she has been doing for many years and has a system about killing those who don't deserve to live and collecting their 'fur'. Nor could she come to help Ayer with his quest to gather the twelve runes, because that would take too much time, putting her life and Neoku's in jeoprady, which she can't afford because since Neoku and Nalva are a dying breed, they need to grow up and be able to make babies so that Elder wolves come back XD. So either way, its more of a, 'love you like a brother, miss you, but we can't hang around together for that long, we have our own tasks to complete.' sorta thing.

[Azazel Relizic]

ill do it after a while cause ill have to stop playing anyways cause of the whole me joining the navy thing and having to go through boot camp, so yea my char can die

[thewriter]

oh! good luck with that, I hope you do good in the navy! ^^ and sure.

[Azazel Relizic]

thx. i dont leave till june 19th so we might have a little done by then : )

[Warklaw]

I like Az's idea. Someone should kick the bucket. any volunteers? XD

So either way, its more of a, 'love you like a brother, miss you, but we can't hang around together for that long, we have our own tasks to complete.' sorta thing.

Yeah, i get what your throwing out. Ayerwulf could sacrifice something as well; if the sacrifice of life is gone, maybe he would forgo the Rune he has to save someone or some heroic crap like that. And I agree with the brother/sister relationship, but Ayerwulf looks up to Narida as something more. She was the only person who really cared for him after all. What i think could happen; Narida is given the hit order, she and Ayerwulf cross paths (or they can start off in a group, maybe they stuck together after your thread or my thread). Depending on how long Neoku has, the situation could be dire and Neoku could be running out of time. The Runes are artifacts made from The Source (the origin of all magic) and can be used for many different things, so Ayerwulf would use the Rune to help sustain him until you can get the guys hair. Just once a Rune is used, it shatters, never to be used again. So he would be saving Neoku but forsaking his own kind (same could happen in Narida's case; gets wounded really bad, Ayerwulf uses Rune to heal, rune shatters, his kind is lost to the pages of history but the one person he cares for is alive.)

Oh! another idea... Someone in this is a Beast Hunter right? They could have been sent after me by the Church after what had happened at the caravan (read Cry of the Blackbirds.) in the forest. Ayerwulf isn't really a favored person, many people still want to kill him for the ever rising price on his head. This way we could get some good dialogue/action in at the get-go.

I'm probably going to go with the plan of the dark elf having a tonic that can help slow down the Wulfen change. Once the Wulfen takes hold, it will slowly turn Ayerwulf into an insufferable beast that knows nothing more than how to feed and kill.

[thewriter]

Aye, but Neoku doesn't work like that. Narida only needs to turn hair in every ten years, and it has to be at her home village. If the need was as dire as you put it, then one forelock would be a drop in the bucket. And the pact made was between Narida, Neoku, and the spirits of their forest. The thing that gets me here is that a rune cannot scapegoat a contract with a god. And yes, the idea of sacrifice is a major one, but the one thing that worries me a little is that Narida's personality by nature is to force others to not care for her so much - she would never allow Ayer to do that, because she refuses to have that guilt and obligatory gratitude hanging over her.

[Warklaw]

yes, true. but as Narida said in her own words on my thread, "You are a stubborn bastard." Ayerwulf obeys only a few things; Fenrir's will, Narida and his Heart. He will not be swayed lightly, and he would be willing to risk anything for Narida and Neoku more than anyone. Ayerwulf has a choice here, he can secure the future of his kind, for all he knoew, he is the last one or he can safeguard the future of the Elder Wolves.

Although he can be a crazed berzerker at times, Ayerwulf knows chance and probability when he sees it. His only 'family' is Narida, Neoku, and Nalva; so he would gladly do such a thing to make sure that Nalva and Neoku don't end up like him.
And about Narida telling/ordering him not to, it would be a big step for Ayer because he would actually be going against Narida's commands and disregarding what she said to do what his heart is telling him to do.

Another idea regarding the Rune, if it cannot slter a pact made by a god, he can at least give it to Narida to allow her kind to start coming back from the pages of history.

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

I'm not willing to kill off my character but I'll be willing to lose an arm later in the thread, I was planning on having my character wounded like this sooner or later. But this is turning out to be pretty good. As for the group idea's I doubt that thewriter would team up with azazel or allenslob due to the fact that they are both part or full vampire, and she is a beast elf. I like the idea of DT and warklaw going at it near the beginning and possibly becoming allies. As for me, I don't mind going solo for a while cuz i know it would be kinda weird for all of us to team up with someone right from the get go. So maybe we can do the teams like this. allenslob and azazel. DT, warklaw, and thewriter. And then me going solo.

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

that could be how the fight between DT and warklaw is broken up, thewriter could stop the fight as she enters

[Allenslob]

yeah i agree with the groups, me and azazel, and who ever elses group

[thewriter]

hmm...I suppose. I was hoping that I could wait a while to meet Ayer cause that would

a) increase dramatic tension/climax(which helps to make a good story)

b)give Narida more reason to work together with others (Because working together with others, even when she has to, is a challenge). If we wait till we all gather and then she notices him, she'll be more keen to it. I might go solo myself, but for DT and Warklaw, I can see them being more lenient with grouping together in the beginning.

[Allenslob]

thats cool, i agree with ace, i want to be teamed with azazel first, he seems like the kinda person Raphael would "hang" with

[thewriter]

alright, but where do you wish to meet up wit az? since this is going to take place on Alerar, i'm thinking I'll either start in the port city Noria or the Black Steppe. I suppose Ace could start by travelling to the step to go to the capital and I'm on the way and we have our solo time, then after a while I could team up with Ace.

[Allenslob]

well as for me i havent really ventured to that section of the forums yet but i guess it would be El'inssring

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

I like that, my character and thewriter will team up last after everyone else. Also with so many ppl I think we should have an order of who should post but we should hurry up with our posts when its our turn since az leaves for the navy soon. Also we should get it started now if we are going to get a good ways thru it. It would kinda suck if az dies near the very beginning but then again it would be more original since most of the time the main characters usually last till the end.

[Azazel Relizic]

what are you trying to say? you want me dead?.......i hate you........no i dont....i love you.......no homo

but yeah i was thinking about killing him towards when the groups meet up or when they meet up

[thewriter]

alright then. Is everyone clear on what's going to happen/agree with the given plot? if so, just say aye, and then we can figure out who starts, then who posts, and so on. I like the order system -gives each person lots of stuff to work with.

[Allenslob]

just give me the word captian, just give me the word and they will all be dead.......im mean aye

just one question, do we all post in one thead or do we go into seperate ones like me and Azazel go in to the El'inssring forum and post part of our story and then when we meet with you we gop into yours and such not

[thewriter]

No, I will make the forum in the main thread ^^

so, i guess that means I have the first post. Oh well, I don't really mind it.

[Allenslob]

no pressure.........jk you have all the pressure

[thewriter]

please - how can THIS be pressuring XD

also, another thing i forgot to address....what are we going to call this RP of ours?

[Allenslob]

idk your the leader of this you decide, of course thats my opinion

[Azazel Relizic]

Azazel's Quest....just throwing it out there....i'll have another tomorrow morning hopefully, unless you make one before then

[thewriter]

because the storyline is totally about you xP

'A Pack of Lone Wolves'?

[Warklaw]

Yeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and what is the social status of this Dark Elf, is he royalty or what? because i have an idea for the title if he is royalty. Title derived from an Amon Amarth song

[thewriter]

Um, he is not royalty, but he is Captain of the City Guard - sort of like the sherrif of nottingham only worse and on a bigger scale. xD

[Allenslob]

i agree with a pack of lone wolves, pretty beast

[thewriter]

alright - it sounds like we got it all sorted out then - I have one last thing to say before I set it up - we put a lot of effort into planning this RP. So if someone posts a 3-word response, it's kind of contradictory to all the effort we put into it. I will be making posts as long as i can and as good as i can - i expect the same to you. If you want to post, but don't have much time, open a word doc. and start it then finish it. But please, please, please don't post half-ass posts - it makes RPing more fun and easier to respond for everyone(and definitely will boost your XP when it is done.)

with this said, before the night is out The Pack of Lone Wolves shall be open! ^^

EDIT: nevermind, DT won't be back till monday so we'll have to wait till then. since he's a part of the thread, it would be rude to start without him.

[Azazel Relizic]

NNNOOOOO ahh we have to wait till monday? bummer, anyone want to play monopoly while we wait?

[thewriter]

woot! I call the car =3

[Azazel Relizic]

i call the boat...haha

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

Haha well first off aye. Second off az that was quite homo, and finally I like the name. Oh, and I'll call the shoe if we are playing monopoly.

[thewriter]

kay - i rolled a 2 with the dice....and chance tells me i gotta go to jail T_T

[Allenslob]

ok i roll a pair of 6 ,woot,

[Azazel Relizic]

ok so whats the plan, who goes first and what order do we go in?

[thewriter]

I'm going first. my posts take place in the Black Steppe. Who volunteers to go next?

[Allenslob]

ill go next, NEXT?

[thewriter]

also, has anyone seen ace around? he hasn't responded or been a part of our epic monopoly game D=

[Allenslob]

yeah, he should be on sometime today

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

yeah sorry for not posting I havent been able to get on lately but once I get internet at where im staying ill be able to post when I'm not working. I won't hold you guys up once we get started. I know we gotta get a get ways into the story before az leaves.

[DT!]

And Back!

[Feral_Kid]

Yay!!

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

oops, forget that last post..........YAY!!!!

[thewriter]

Yay!!
wait...who is this now?

i mean, it's alright if you join, but only if you can think of a logical way to fit into the plot. also, you'll have to establish your place in the order.

so, if you are interested, then tell me how your character would be able to fit in what we have orchestrated.

[thewriter]

oh yeah, and welcome back ace/DT! Glad to see you all living again =3

[Azazel Relizic]

ok so what the plan? who goes when?

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

Sorry writer, that was my other account. I thought I was on this one and posted. Oh and as for turn order, if writer is going first then I'll go second or third.

[thewriter]

alright then ace, you've taken 3rd slot. i suppose the rest doesn't matter. so, by the end of tonight, I will have posted the beginning of A Pack of Lone Wolves in the Alerar main. see you then guys!

[Allenslob]

send me a PM when you get it posted, i have mine ready for posting

[The-Ace-Of-Spades]

send me a Pm as well, I've got ideas on my first post so hopefully I'll be ready to post tonight if the second slot person gets on tonight.

[thewriter]

it's open!

[DT!]

I'll volunteer taking the last spot. Az can have the one before me.

[Azazel Relizic]

aight im second to last

i dont think ace will post his part tonight, have to wait till tomorrow

so i roll an pair of 2's, woot im up to St. James place

[thewriter]

Kay, i get out of jail...and i land on a railroad! yay!

[Azazel Relizic]
