breakingamber Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks. That clears things up a bit. Is the background of Salem thoroughly implanted, or is there room for one more Epic guard? I was thinking that Abaddon would, say, catch Vandal messing up the posters and... then it's up to his creator.

The Swan Dragon Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Alright, so I was just reading through the Google Spreadsheet and past posts here, and I have absolutely no effin' idea what my plan was. I'll keep working on it, but I'm not sure how far out it would be. Only thing I can think of for people can do is once they have a post up, fill in that 'square' on the spreadsheet with a color so that the next person knows to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckeedee123 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks. That clears things up a bit. Is the background of Salem thoroughly implanted, or is there room for one more Epic guard? I was thinking that Abaddon would, say, catch Vandal messing up the posters and... then it's up to his creator. Originally, there were just three Epics in the official "city guard" (it was supposed to be a very small organization, sort of a peacekeeping corps,) but people sort of keep creating Epics that are in it, so I guess now it's structured more like a volunteer sort of thing. Mouldbreaker, Antithesis, and Showstopper (as well as maybe someone who could be retconned in. Did I mention that the latter two are pick-uppable?) are the officially sanctioned lawkeepers, and then there are a series of Epics that are trusted with a certain amount of legal authority and the ability to requisition militiamen (50-ish vanillas that do most of the mundane policework in the city.) The volunteers are kept on a very tight leash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that Abaddon would, say, catch Vandal messing up the posters and... then it's up to his creator. Yeah as Mckeedee said, I was originally hoping to keep official city Epics on a rather small scale but they would recruit help from arena combatants when necessary. That said the guard is Mckeedee's so he can basically do what he wants with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrae Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Something along the lines of someone who hates working with Epics, but likes to think that they'll be better for the people than another vanilla (or worse, an Epic) in the same position.

Neat. If you really want your character to shine, I'd suggest you create an interesting little plotline for him/her to pursue. Normally, it'd be okay to just embroil them in whatever crazy hijinks are going on around town, but this is Salem, where hijinks are few and far between, and there hasn't even really been a major struggle so far.

Blackhoof Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 No one responded so I'll re-ask. What's the time like in Salem? I'm thinking of having Vandal run into Heartsleeve and Sentry, but I don't know if it's too soon. I'd wait until more time has passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'd wait until more time has passed I don't think there's much else going on in the city at the moment so it might not be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhoof Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I guess it depends how much time needs to have passed for Vandal to do what he wants. Sentry was interrupted mid-conversation by the vandalisation and that just happened, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there'd need to be a time skip, but if no one else needs to post anything with Salem skipping an hour or so to them meeting should be fine.

Edgedancer Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Oh Scribbler, such an innocent wish to make to Shiny Sparkle. Two questions, would anyone mind Shiny having an acquaintance that just so happens to be able to hook her up with squids on short notice and would Scribbler start doing anything in the short amount of time that Shiny may be gone? (Appart from wondering the just happened.) I'm thinking featured character and featured event, or something similar. So this months event would be the Funtimes/Nighthound/Lightwards battle and the featured character will be... kept a secret. You really like teasing us with these projects, don't you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind, Scribbler would be confused, then embarassed and awkward some more, then begin to ask Doctor Game something along the lines of 'What the hell?' Full disclosure: It was mostly because I had not at the time thought of a character to feature (I have done so now, I'm just waiting for some replies from GMs of non-Reckoners RPs before I finish) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going Given that it's a friend of Shiny... no comment. Although, said character probably would never again have another appearance, so it wouldn't come up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Oregon's one-and-only black market squid dealer should be more than a cameo. He should be the new main character. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I think Oregon's one-and-only black market squid dealer should be more than a cameo. He should be the new main character. Oh! He could be like Diamond, except instead of weapons, he sells squids! And since this is Oregon, he'd still rake in the cash. So, so much cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be the new main character. ...if you say so. Just be aware of the unknown terror you are unleashing. On another, less happy note, Mail-mi and Mailliw have now officially left Astoria. This also means we have a couple of playerless characters, if anyone is interested in taking over Dragoon, the time to speak is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mail-mi Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 What happened? Business, and wanting to slowly go out of the RP instead of leaving all of a sudden when I go on my mission. That's my reason, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikro Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Business, and wanting to slowly go out of the RP instead of leaving all of a sudden when I go on my mission. That's my reason, at least.Spending all of your time writing a murder mystery is no excuse! (Though I'm not complaining, as I'm not in Astoria and I'm looking forward to the mm.)Also, i'd be fine with someone chasing Vandal, excited even. I really want to write Vandal running away while making the Zoidberg noise. Edited April 6, 2016 by Vikro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra shout out to this line This was creepy-guy-in-a-dark-alley-wanting-to-sell-you-cookies suspicious. and bonus point for PP being Voidus' character.
