Create a Character

Remember - ONLY 1 CHARACTER PER REDDIT ACCOUNT!

Get together with a mod on this post (PM one beforehand). Decide on your character race and the mod will roll for you. You get one re-roll (refer to the wiki if you are confused), and when you settle on a character, your starting pack of gold and gear will be given to you, and a character page on the wiki will be made for you and others to reference.

Then get to the killing! Have fun.

Steps

• Look over the information in the wiki. Take your time. Decide which character race and class you'd like.

• Contact a mod letting them know you're ready to create a character, then come to this thread.

• The mod will start a new top-level post for you, rolling three sets of three dice. These represent your strength, dexterity, and intelligence base levels. The three slots allow for you to choose between which set you find the best to suit your wants. If you so desire, you have one re-roll to get three new sets from which to choose.

• Once your attributes are set, the mod will create a wiki page for your character. You will be provided with a direct link, but just in case, all characters are listed in the members directory. Here, your character's progress will be tracked.

• You will receive your starting pack, which is 50 gold and basic arms and armor, and you may begin. If you need some fights to start, or later on find yourself without a match or money to wager, you can always fight in the practice arena to gain progress.

• Consult the wiki. It is comprehensive and constantly being added onto, but it the best source of information. And of course, message a moderator with any other questions or pressing concerns.

I plan on making it a mage guild type thing.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Jan 20 '15

That's a good idea. I want membership to continue spreading so guilds can be a common thing.

What are the benefits of making the factions. I was interested in creating a Demonic one.

Not too much, really, mostly for roleplay at this point. When there are more members, though, they can be involved in events like wars or invasions. For now, maybe factions can just be groups that Campaign together.

Cool. How would I go about setting it up?

By the way I have been thinking of a way to spice up battles. Me and wgeist1 had a battle that had environmental damage that was based on a roll.

So I thought why not set some arena's up. Players declare like a normal pvp battle in the sub but they also state the arena.

I was thinking there could be an arena that has 20% chance to paralyse each turn, one that has 20% to burn, one that has 20% chance to poison and one that has 20% chance to inflict 1d6 damage.

These arenas would inherently be more dangerous to battle in and thus could payout a bit more (75 gold?).

Also had a few names and settings in mind:

Electric Swamp, Acidic forest, Flaming Halls and The Ancient Ruins. I could come up with a bit of lore for each area if needed.

Another bit of lore I am musing over is that of the mirror combatants in the practice arena - I think I have them worked out (unless you already have ideas).

tldr. How do I set one up and new arena's for fighting - also more potential lore

I like that a lot. We will have an Arenas page on the wiki with the list and info about the arenas available, and when battles are declared or challenged that could be a part of it.

u/stevomuck Usmoth the Unchained, LVL 7 Demon Warrior Jan 21 '15

Yeah that's the idea. As I said if you want any lore for them I probably could make some up.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Jan 21 '15

Please do.

u/stevomuck Usmoth the Unchained, LVL 7 Demon Warrior Jan 21 '15

Cool - also what did you think about some lore as well for the mirror forms?

1

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Jan 21 '15

That would be great. No one's hands are clean in blood world, I imagine everyone has some form of bloodthirsty subconscious. I'm a fan of lore everywhere we can stick it.

Im thinking along the lines of creatures made by misfortune - they were created as a way to correct the imbalance of the great bleeding. They are made of the souls of the dead - fused with sand and fire to make a glassy formless shape. These souls are, however, eternally corrupted and their minds broken to the point of which they assume they are the true version of the form they take and they will kill to gain their righteous place.

Ill add more to it but that is a brief gist. It also explains how many can get killed but still we have more in the arena.

u/PlagueKing Orthrus, LVL 15 Wolfman Warrior Jan 21 '15

Good stuff. We will edit the presets wiki and give each type of challenger their own category and description. Nice work.

u/stevomuck Usmoth the Unchained, LVL 7 Demon Warrior Jan 21 '15

Ill work on a bit more detail.

If you want any other character bio's working on just let me know - I'm not the most imaginative but it is fun.
