Character ideas?
« Thread Started on Jun 20, 2008, 5:37pm »
Apologies if this isn't the proper board for it -- but are there any concepts that are currently needed on the game? I'd like to give this a spin, but I'm sort of at a loss about what to play.

Thanks!

I second Moonbird's request. Part of me really wants to play a moose, but (a) I don't know if that's allowed and (b) I need some help brainstorming what sort of wolf to play (if I play a wolf).

Thanks in advance!

As far as wolves are concerned (I have no idea about moose), join a pack! - most ranks are open to be filled.

Lone wolves are more than welcome to join Nalvarrak's- he's in the process of trying to build a pack after recently acquiring the rights to one ICly. Right now, s'just him.

There's also the Northern Mountain Range to be claimed, if you wanted to make a wolf character to make a claim for it. I believe the last player to try didn't get it because of the way his character behaved in-post, but I could be wrong.

I'm going to be making a wolf to put up north--he'll be leftover from the cleanup of the native wolves by Connahei, but there's a chance he could always be involved in something more serious up there.

Moonbird--We need females, too. XD Right now I believe we're all playing males, so some female PCs would be nice.

Right now, I'm toying around with the idea of a female wolf whose pack was slaughtered by Connahei's when she was a pup. Now that she's an adult, she's come to the lands seeking retribution for what she feels was an injustice her family. Ideally, she'll try to be sneaky about it, asking Connahei for sanctuary in the hope that he doesn't remember her.

I'd be interested in seeing what you've got so far, Arcas, since I was planning on having her originate from that area as well. Maybe we can collaborate?

Wow, excellent thread. Yes, this is the right place for it.

I've been hoping, actually, for people to play wolves from packs Connahei conquered. It makes for fun inner turmoil and plotly conflicts. As was mentioned before, we're in need of females to balance out the gender ratio.

Also, if anyone is interested, I'd be willing to consider a few Legend applications. As of now the Legends are all NPCs, but eventually I'd like to phase them out and have Connahei's core pack be PCs. You can 'adopt' one of the NPCs I've already invented, or make one of your own, or make a wolf you intend to have eventually join up with them.

But there are still a lot of concepts to play with out there. For example, Connahei is highly superstitious- a shaman / seer sort of character, if played right, could do wonderful things to drive the plot, no matter what the seer character's intention. I'd only want one or two on the board, though, and I'd be rather strict about who plays them.

And for now, I'd like to keep the PCs all wolves. So no. You can't has moose. :C

Any questions I can answer for anyone?

I plan on having Moonbird try to join up with Connehei's pack for the purpose of getting close to him, otherwise I'd totally consider applying for one of the NPCs.

I was afraid that this place might have been winding down already. One of the first threads of conflict seemed to tatter off already. Actually if someone were to play a shaman that would be awesome. Or someone kinda like the NPC King without the proverbial leash. A loose cannon cop on the edge so to speak. The fierce PCs are a lot more honour-bound or at least less active in routing out a wolf like Casca being alphas and all they kinda have to be
. It'd be fun to be chased rather than just encouraged to leave

Na, I think it's just starting to pick up! I'd love to see some more players here -- I just don't know where or how to advertise a game like this except by word of mouth.

Well, King is just as much up for adoption as any of the other NPCs, and he's only restrained when he's in Connahei's presence. Connahei is pretty much the only wolf he answers to. Outside of the Wolflord's influence he's pretty much the loose cannon you described.

I actually got the Northern Lands through private messaging (all sneaky-like). Con and I just want to get some more RPing in the Northern Lands first so time passes between the time that the two Legends left and return so it's more realistic. Plus, it might help to build a pack up there or a few more wolves before Connahei returns so it shows Theric has leadership qualities and wolves to rule over.

So if anyone is looking for a pack or an RP... I actually just threw a quick RP up if anyone is interested or whatever (just 'cause you reply doesn't mean you're obligated to join the pack or anything). Plus, I'd really like to RP with various people and have different conflicts up in the North. It'd be more fun, plus I need to show some good writing eventually (I've been feeling a little unmotivated lately).

SO we have, not including the Glorious Wolflord, the Impetuous King and the rest of the Legends we have three "heavies" and two "sneaks". I only say this to encourage more varied characters in the future. Connahei has already admitted that the Wolflord is superstitious and gave a obvious lead for a shaman. An elder who survived or grew to elder age/status after the conquest began. Maybe a matron who actually sides with the legends for peace sake, trying to get the packs to grow again and be fruitful. There's plenty to be done around here let's explore all the facets! :3

Heh. If I had not been 98% done with Arcas when Connahei mentioned the superstitious thing, I'd really be all over it. XD

I would sorta like to see some weirdos too. Not exclusively in a bad way, but maybe just some wolves that don't have all their chickens in the coup.

I wouldn't necessarily classify Moonbird as a "sneak." She's grown up knowing only three or four wolves, and she definitely doesn't have the lying experience that Casca does; she's being deceitful at the moment, but lots of characters can display that trait if the situation calls for it. This is her first time doing anything like this, so yeah.

That said, I do agree that variety is good!

Good point. But the word crafty plus the "look out for number 1" bit lead me to think so I apologize

No need to apologize. :)

I maybe should have elaborated more in her history to explain what her personality is like, and why it is the way it is. Hopefully that will come out through RP.

I... I want to play a shaman messed-up wolf Legend thing. Please. =3

[This is Drewface.]

EDIT:

Gah. Never mind. XD I will still probably want to play someone whose deck of cards is about thirty long.

(Half of those are going to be dollar-store tarot cards. It'll be fun.)

(One will also be a soda cracker.)

Heya Drew. We've got a shaman/seer character in the works right now and we're having a quick roleplay before I decide on whether or not to approve the character. Maybe you could apply for a seer-in-training below her? One that's enjoyably messed in the head, but tolerated because of potential for being useful once Athena passes because of old age?

The other option is to play a shaman character in one of the other packs.

Yeah, but a shaman character in one of the other packs wouldn't be nearly as fun as a seer-in-training. XD

I'll wait and see what Athena has to say about it first, though, since really it's up to her. *messages her*

Actually, I approve of this idea and think it'd be a lot more fun (assuming I get the position).

Her death later in the RP could bring out emotions and possibly bring in plot developments as the new Seer has to step into place and help Connahei; especially since Weilu said he wants to play a messed up character whose not all there in the head, it could be an obstacle Con has to over come by getting used to the different ways the Seers react. Could be fun, but we just have to see how things turn out, eh? :)
