• Dionysus Lionidus.
• Male.

• Kahao: Lion.

• Height: 6'8.
  
  
  Weight: 200 lbs.
  
  
  Looks: He always wears armor made of tempered steel and gold which bear flame-like markings: the markings of his former tribe. The gold is simply for decoration, while the steel is his main protection from attacks. His arm and leg bracers are skinned from Elk, which he hunted for food during his loner days. Because he spent so much time alone in the wild, except for Gerix, his muscles are very well toned.

|Biography of Dionysus|

• Personality
• History

• He is a natural born leader. Dionysus has led many raids and hunts in his life, and he always prefers to take charge of things rather than follow in another's footsteps. Dionysus has a strong sense of justice, and refuses to let any crime or falsehood that he spots go unhindered; however, he is also a fierce warrior, and always battles with his fateful contract, Gerix. The lion consistently protects those in need and helps the injured or poor that he meets on his way.
• Born into a Lion Tribe in the dry heat of Samaria, he was the first in line to the Alpha position; however, everything changed when the fire nation attacked when the dragon Sorinvarde allegedly attacked his great tribe. Dionysus was only a cub then... He did not understand what had happened while he slept. All he knew was that he awoke inside of a burning tent, hearing the screams of his kin outside.
  
  
  He woke several days later. He had no memory of the week after he woke in the burning tent. He was laying under a tree in Ellegarde; the air was moist, he had noticed, which meant he was far from home. He saw a large, orange Kirin nearby, gathering berries for him to eat. Dionysus grew very attached to the Kirin; after all, Gerix most likely saved Dionysus' life. The two traveled all over Ellegarde, gathering information from fellow journeyers; this is where Dionysus learned that the great dragon Sorinvarde had been spotted in the middle of Samaria several weeks before, and that a reward was on her head for capture... Or death. Since this moment, the two have tracked and hunted Sorinvarde all over Salisonia, but have never managed to find her... Yet.

Sorinvarde is not finished yet. Or accepted as a character choice.

It depends what time zones we're estimated in. Swords from the 14th century were up to 40 pounds. 
But 200 years later, the 16th century, yes, heavy broadswords were usually about 6 pounds.

 

[MrLlama]

Bleh. I'll fix it or whatever, I don't know.


Cressy, is it fine if my character could of had some building or foundation built in Ellegarde? It's more of just kind of like a homeless shelter but only giving food out. Adds all the more tackynishnish to my history, but whatever.

 

[Mooalally]

Hey, I just noticed I'm an Active Member.

 

[Croissant]

I'm sure an Elven homeless shelter wont be a problem I think Pai would agree as long as it's not disrupting history, then again, I don't see that happening.

 

[Croissant]

And I WISH broadswords were that light, a modern one would probably range 15 - 20 pounds up maybe. Im sure yours ways a bit more but idk do whatever you want xD

 

[MrLlama]

Well, not really shelter, just handing out food. Still follows what you said though, so O.K. 
Gah, I don't know. Since there aren't really katanas in Salisonia, and a broadsword is probably going to be somewhat heavy there, on top of the fact my character is going to be a weaker one and thus wouldn't be able to really use his sword any more than he already can... I don't want something small like a dagger, though... :C


How can I make this work for an old guy who can't fight as well anymore and is 80 yet not wanting a dagger...


Would a longsword work or are those pretty heavy, too? D: 
Wait, would a simple shortsword work? And I followed what you said, @Mooalally , or I think I did for my history.

 

[Wynn Kamui]

... Just realized how many pages we've gotten through today. Almost 30 now, if I remember correctly

 

[Mooalally]

Those were in service from about the 14th century to the 16 century, and they all weighed about 3 pounds or less. 
Longswords, I mean.

 

[Wynn Kamui]

Asrfgdscgyrgggghhhh


I want the ability to see auras to be a thing >


Alas, the best I can hope for is a Tales of Salisonia 2 or something :/

 

[Mooalally]

With pirates and guns and auras and dragons riders and a bunch of other stuff people have suggested, it's going to be very weird.

 

[MrLlama]

O.K., is it good now?

 

[Wynn Kamui]

With pirates and guns and auras and dragons riders and a bunch of other stuff people have suggested, it's going to be very weird.

I feel that things like this would be very fun in conjunction with each other. If everyone who joined the RP was the type of person who wouldn't abuse things like this to become OP, than it'd be great. 
Not to mention the fact that I'd be able to use Wynn

 

[MrLlama]

Eh, I think in general having a gun would always win vs swords, at least more of the time than not.

 

[Wynn Kamui]

Eh, I think in general having a gun would always win vs swords, at least more of the time than not.

Ehh... It's not like the guns would be crazy advanced. It would be similar the way pirates used guns- most of them had a small musket handgun, but they were such a pain to reload that you had to be a very good shot.

 

[Mooalally]

Unless it was one of those old muskets where you had to put in the gunpowder and then stuff it in more with a stick.


At least, that's how I think it works.

 

[MrLlama]

Still.

 

[Wynn Kamui]

Guns vs swords would be similar to Magic vs swords.

 

[MrLlama]

No, with magic you can be disintegrated instantly. With a gun it gives you holes which get infected - Nasty stuff.

 

[Lucem]

Well, none of that will exist, so the weirdness is avoided.

 

[Wynn Kamui]

[QUOTE="Lucem Tenebris]Well, none of that will exist, so the weirdness is avoided.

[/QUOTE]
Way to ruin our fun xD

 

[Mooalally]

A lot better now, at least in my mind.

 

[Croissant]

Depends on the terrain, and magic has waaayy too many variables to be compared with guns, its way more complex.


Open field guns would most likely win unless you predict shots


In rocky terrain with obstacles swords may win, depending if it's old arse guns like the ones you described. But a sword against a gun now a days guns will most likely win. Unless you're strategic but both weapons have their own stats and stuff. Sometimes you don't one shot with a gun. With a blade you have that control.


It's like comparing an apple to an orange

Now I have to go to sleep. I'd rather pass out in my bed than on top of my laptop.
