Are new recruits able to have magic?

Are new recruits able to have magic?

Yes. I figured that everyone in the guild(new or old) would have magic.

SleepySloth I'll be working the morning-afternoon shift today so I should have my two characters completed during the evening when I come home.

Marksman did you mean to use a WH40K Dreadnought for Ahotos' appearance? I don't quite understand how something from 40,000 (science-fiction) would fit in a stereotypical fantasy world? Perhaps character designs from WK Old World would better fit the environment and fellow characters.

 

[Marksman]

Now, I don't want to sound hostile or anything, I simply want to point out that old wk has literal tanks,helicopters and even flamethrowers. Even the most stereotypical fantasy setting dnd forgotten realms has mechanical creatures that are the basic equivalent of the character Ahotos. And he has no guns whatsoever. The funniest thing of all, is that in 40k there worlds called feudal worlds. Which are all basically medevial fantasy worlds.

But that is a literal, Dreadnought.. in a fantasy world. What I meant by Old World were soldiers within the Empire as they have a very appealing medieval theme. I feel it is unfair towards the other members of the group; Dwarves, Humans armed with swords, bows, staves etc.. to have a literal Dreadnought alongside of them. Saying that there are tanks and helicopters in Old world doesn't quite apply.. as it would be absurd and overpowering to roleplay as a tank.

To prove a point, I suppose there would be no problem if I were to make a Deff Dread character or a Titan? There is such a huge technology gap between a fantasy world and Sci-fi one. I can understand enjoying a certain genre but it's not something I would try to inject into other things ~ something that's all too commonplace on this site. Furthermore, saying that Ahtos has no guns whatsoever doesn't mean much either. I could make a Space Marine character and have him carry no firearms... he's still a space marine ~ A being from the 40k Universe.. along side Dwarves, Humans with swords, bows, staves and so on.

I think if you were to still make a mechanical-type character. Perhaps a focus could be the stereotypical Dwarven/steam mechs as they make alot more sense than something that requires power by a Nuclear Reactor to function.

Alright I shall change the character to better suite the setting

Appreciated, hope there is no bad blood between us I do enjoy WH stuff as well and I think Old World ideas would be a better fit for this kind of RP. If there's a similar Sci-fi/futuristic RP then I can imagine some sort of Mech/Dreadnought would be a somewhat common-sight on the battlefield.

 

[Kapowne]

We gonna be ready to start soon?

 

[OldTurtle]

Same question as Kapowne. And I haven't gotten the alerts for this one again...

 

[Becker]

I've decided to move on from this and take part in a different RP elsewhere. I hope things here do take off and work itself out eventually

 

[Kapowne]

I’ll be moving on as well, thanks!
