TFW you have a question for the GM but you forget it halfway through writing it

 

[Aelia Aeldyne]

I REMEMBERED

Xethyrion
Are there any naming conventions
So I don't end up making a character with a completely off-sounding name

 

[RandomBlobMan]

what's the difference between weapons and arsenal slots?

 

[King Crimson]

Xethyrion Another question: for things such as combat, tests of skill, etc.
What kind of rules were you planning to go by?

Will it be more free-form, in that players write out how things go, or will it be more like you and the players take turns for each encounter?

Also, I think out of the roles available, I'm leaning towards taking the other vanguard spot, if that's okay with everyone.

Not really. My character herself will be called Kyburis Raidriar, so anything goes. I suppose, just don't go for anything that sounds too off.

what's the difference between weapons and arsenal slots?

Weapons are more specifically, your character's main weapons. Arsenals can be used to fill other side weapons or armaments of any kind.

I'm not really well versed in dice and I'd rather not let luck decide the fate for our characters. It'll definitely be more free-form with the story narrating itself as time goes, with me pushing out events and scenarios to help vision the plot. I plan on railroading just a bit near the middle and the conclusion to make sure things go smoothly, instead of letting the story go towards a direction that won't really... make a sequel possible. (Spoiler? ㅇㅅㅇ)

However, I will be stating the post order so everyone gets an equal chance. I've yet to decide how the order will go since we still have a few people pending. I'll most definitely go first, and then the others will follow suit depending on the order given. People can skip, but only with valid reasons, such as "not enough materials for my character" or "my character is not in this scene, and won't return for a good while". I like to believe that's the standard, but perhaps not, and I'd prefer organization over complete freedom.

Another thing I should mention is how the storyline will play out. First, we'll have two separate storylines take place that'll eventually conjoin into one, most likely once both threads are ready to leave Novaris and head towards Traumathir. That's when chapter 1 will happen and the main storyline will begin.

Hopefully, that clears up the rules of how we'll be playing this out.

I'm not suuuper artistically inclined so for my character I've edited an outfit and dragon horns onto an existing character, lol. I just made up the outfit because I looked up Arknights designs and it seems like either armour or just regular clothes (?), and... I didn't want to draw armour, haha. I'll give full credits (wo_ma.1109 on twt, from wozwald pv) for the base and colour it in for my actual sheet, but here's what I have drawn up right now. I can change it if need be ^^' awkwardly attached, because I overestimated my abilities to do basic code;;;;

As for the rest of the profile, what do you want in terms of codename/group rank? Will we be assigned either of those things or do we have to choose, and if so, what do they mean exactly? I'm also not sure what an arsenal slot is. And one last in my barrage of questions, did you have any guidelines or things you wanted us to do/not do in terms of character backstory? Thanks! ^^

Looks good, no need for anything super fancy. As long as there's a rough appearance of your character, it's good.

The codename isn't that important for the story, it's more for your proper identification for your character's involvement in the Armored Retribution Consortium. You can come up with anything, whether it relates to your character's appearance or race isn't something that matters.

I'm also not sure what an arsenal slot is.

Anything goes, really. Arsenal's an equipment of all types so it's not something that's exactly restricted only to weapons. If you can't think of all three, you can leave them blank or just leave one blank, your choice on that matter. But yeah, it's just any equipment your character may carry around in the roleplay.

And one last in my barrage of questions, did you have any guidelines or things you wanted us to do/not do in terms of character backstory?

It's a must that your character has had prior training or experience in combat before they were assigned this mission to deliver a parcel to another military base, so make sure your character has had some. It's also important that they've been scarred to some level, enough to have the attitude of "it's lost hope, but we have one chance to reverse this situation, even if we won't live to see it." type of deal. Or, maybe they're more optimistic about it which is great too, but the backstory needs to correspond well with why exactly they were chosen for the covert operation. And under the terms of what I'd prefer not seeing, probably anything that involves a history of being a renegade. Those are difficult to work with and I don't think any army general's going to trust someone who has had switched alliances / most likely will under the assumption that they'll survive. Other than that, no, you're free to do whatever you want with the backstory.

We also don't necessarily have to come from the same military/paramilitary group and kinda 'worked' our way up in guessing? As long as it doesn't involve disloyalty.

Also, I came across a faceclaim that I really liked and have become completely invested in. Started writing the bio and only then realized she is literally an Arknights character (I promise I had zero inkling. So I'm terribly sorry if I butcher whatever emotional connection anyone has had to this character T.T).

 

[Lekiel]

Xytherion Got my character up! I took quite some liberties with adding stuff to flesh out her background. I hope they're okay with you, tried to keep them thematically realistic and unobstrusive as possible D:! Lemme know if any changes are required.

 

[Xethyrion]

tfw they ping someone who last logged on 6 years ago

 

[Aelia Aeldyne]

LMAO
This is the perfect thing to wake up to

Oh dear... HAHAHAHAHA

MY BAD I GUESS D8

 

[RandomBlobMan]

Me: I'm gonna be the team doctor
also me, brainstorming the char's personality:

 

[lunar_moth]

Posted up my CS finally (sorry for taking so long, kept getting distracted by pictures of cool anime swords online, you know how it is), please let me know if I need to make any adjustments at all!! I tried my best, but I'm bound to have misunderstood something or gotten something wrong in terms of lore etc etc ^^'
I did a complete 180 in terms of the kind of character design I wanted, just 'cause I decided I didn't actually care about the design I came up with at /all/, and also I found a picture I liked better. Dunno who he is, but I found him on pinterest and he looked cool, so I'm "borrowing" him for my purposes lol. Same with the sword design, which conveniently came with a name in the corner watermark, lucky me~

Also, I am sorry about the format, I tried to code it all fancy-like like the others but I could not for the life of me figure it out. I'll probably try again at some point, but for now, hopefully what I have is readable enough..?

I'll come back later too to fill in the few blanks I'm missing. I just figured it'd be faster to post what I have now instead of taking longer to work out the deets.

(Also also, absolutely nobody asked for a voiceclaim, but I have provided one anyway, ahahaha)
(Sorry about the wall of text lol, I'm antsy to make sure i get this right after i spent so long working on it haha;; )

 

[RandomBlobMan]

I think I'll have to drop off of this one. I'm sorry, guys.
I haven't got a strong idea for a character, and I can't flesh things out very well right now. I think I'll just slow things down with my current state.

 

[Xethyrion]

No problem.

 

[King Crimson]

Posted the WIP for my CS, who will eat many punches to the face for the greater good be the party's big, fluffy tank, with a big, not-so-fluffy sledgehammer!

 

[Xethyrion]

We're going to need more males to equal out the cast.

Welcome to the world of anime face claims.
Where the OCs are all girls, and the points don't matter.

 

[Lekiel]

You mean this wasn't going to be a harem?

 

[King Crimson]

So first we got Frostnova, now we've got Bagpipe.

 

[Xethyrion]

Very cool, Kanye. I'll review everyone's sheet and fully authorize them in a bit. Looks like we have five characters presented, depending on whether or not everyone else will be joining or not we can start very soon.

 

[Aelia Aeldyne]

I'm working on mine
just need to get the personality and backstory down
