Lead the way!” Chris beckons Radriarc to follow him as he begins running. "It's always a good idea to have a few safehouses scattered here and there! We're pretty close to one of them, actually."
Condensation she/her Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Quote Hey, I'm back for a little bit. Pretend this was on time. Noche scrambled back as the man... dissolved into many small crabs(that's how hordelings look, right?). Luz bore a shocked expression when she glanced at him, clearly he wasn't going to be much help. As the man reformed, Noche looked closer at one of the crabs. She could barely tell once he had 'put himself back together'. Alba flew back to Noche's shoulder, obviously it had unnerved her too.

Quote I picture them as like palm size tan colored beetles, but yeah. I think they are crabs and bugs and things like that. It's hard to know because all of those things are just called cremlings...
Frustration Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Quote They are crabs insects, centipede like things, basically anything you could find in a Rosharan back yard.

He looked back to see if the monster was still following, but Frustration hadn’t posted so he couldn’t tell and didn’t see it anymore. “Where is ‘here’ exactly?”

What magic does he have?

Crhis led Radriarc down the stairs, and the passage closed behind them. Lining the walls were electric lights and wiring, all leading downwards. Quote Chris is... undeveloped. He's a regular Scadrian who's both Cosmere and Macrosmos aware. Fadran bumped into him at some point, and they're in loose contact with one another.

dannnex male Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Quote I prefer to make a new character for every RP, trying to shoehorn a pre-existing character into a new RP never seems to work, at least for me. I build the character around the world and plot, I feel like doing a character I already have would end up with me trying to shape the world and plot around the character. Even my main guy here, Radriarc, I don’t have his backstory super set in stone, and I haven’t revealed anything so far, so I can change it as the plot goes on. 22 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: Crhis led Radriarc down the stairs, and the passage closed behind them.

I’ve been meaning to take a closer look at some while I’m here.” He noticed that they were still traveling downwards. “How deep is this safehouse??”

dannnex male Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Quote I have a very rough outline for his backstory, but the details and even some major points on the outline change all the time. Sure, I base his core mannerisms and personality off the core parts of the backstory, but a lot of it I base off the other characters. I try to foil and compliment them all, make sure Radriarc fits with the group, clashes where he should clash and doesn’t where he shouldn’t. Same thing with power-set actually. I haven’t revealed his abilities either, so I keep going back and forth, trying to decide what version would fit best with the setting, party, and general power level of the group as a whole. Consistency is obviously important too, so I’m slowly hardening more and more of him as we go on. 20 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "Pretty deep. It is a safe house.

If I disappeared, nobody would know, he thought with a gulp. “So...uh...Chris, tell me more about yourself. Who’s that friend you mentioned earlier?” Edited October 11, 2020 by Danex
