Fantasy TT&WW Rules & OOC

I certainly get the feeling. I'm writing up my post now too. So that's already something. xD
We need to come up with some stories for Vyxyl and Taira (which I once read as Tiara).

[Tiara is the princess from a fairytale right?]
What if Taira stole the treasure in front of Vyxyl's eyes once before and that caused for some friction between them?

I was thinking tiara like a princess crown. X3

I mean we could do a few stories between them. One could be she swiped something from Vyxyl, what would need to be decided. It can't be something so important she'd hate her over it cause rip joining crew then.

That's also possible.

Yeah, just some annoyances between them but nothing too serious. Another one could be that one of the two got together with the other's man? xD

Vyxyl would blame the man more than her, hahah.

Could have the instance with the item just be something like some pouch of coins that Taira stole and then taunted her or something. Enough to make her want some revenge but not enough to turn her away, heck even might use her as crew for revenge XD

Yeah, Taira would definitely taunt, it's in her blood. xD So we going with that?

Yup, well go with that one for a start. We can develop more basic interactions as needed. A man-stealing could be a thing as well, though Vyxyl would just use it to mess with her rather than really care. "Hey you remember that guy? Honestly, I didn't think you were into sloppy seconds."

Haha xD Well, I posted my thing. I'm happy. ^^
 
EccentricFantasy EccentricFantasy Quick notes on first read (since I didn't want you to wait too long, but dinner gotta be cooked).

Are you sure you only want to give him 2/6 skills? Nothing else at all? Just want to verify.
Additionally on the note of skills, he needs a time limit for how long he can sustain him damaging his body before it giving in and being able to do no more, which generally would have to go along with a maximum of what he could possibly do (you mentioned the mast punch and I said that would have to break something if not all the bones in his hand to do so).

The backstory is where most changes need to be made. He wouldn't get tattoos, military do awards, ribbons, medals. Tattoos are more what a platoon would have to link them together.

The other note is that the last paragraph has two issues. The flow of what is written is confusing (the last paragraph mostly) to me in the timeline of things. It just has this huge jump leaving me kinda going 'huh?' Additionally there is no way Vyxyl would just sail right up to a Maerin port at all. That's insanity. Pure insanity and a death wish for a pirate. And then it goes back to confusing because I don't know if you are writing as that is how he got onto the crew or it he was already on the crew and for some insane reason Vyxyl went somewhere she would never go.

I like to always give this important note with backstories in that they shouldn't take over the backstory or motives of another character within the roleplay without some kind of discussion and then agreement between the parties involved. So what you've done with Vyxyl is gonna be a no-go because it doesn't fit her character at all.

Well, give me more time. I will have to rework everything in.
 
EccentricFantasy EccentricFantasy Not a problem, lol. What I did was just a quick skim read cause *what is time anymore?*

You will have to forgive me. Most of the roleplay's I get into run on the 'Rule of Cool'. Generally it means that minor changes to any detail is fine so long as it adds a characteristic of awesomeness to the story. Just thought only having him wreck the port would be a bit much, but I guess that's what I am going with.

Er, so I think you might not have understood what I was trying to say in regards to your backstory since your edit still has the same problem. You're still basically soft-core character hijacking another character's backstory by implanting them within your own without any discussion. :\ Basically, you're assuming still what another character would do without asking. If you look a few replies up you can see myself and Wandering discussing a rival character backstory between her character and Vyxyl.

It was a few days after he left the port of Maerin and Mordune was fast asleep in the chair on the small raft. To his right was a chest of jewels and gold he had stolen before he left the houses of the men he had killed. As he slept he didn’t notice a certain pirate crew board the boat. When he finally woke up he was greeted with swords and magic aimed at him. Right in front of him was Captain Vyxyl with a sword pointed right at his guts. Mordune knew they were there to take the treasure, but he assumed they wanted to kill him too. So, he stood and walked into the sword, all the way to the guard. He was bleeding and most would be in pain. However, to the entire crews shock he just stood there like he felt nothing. He was never asked to be a member of the crew. Vyxyl just asked if he was hungry and needed medical attention. Maybe she respected his skills? Or maybe she was just being nice. He never really cared or tried to figure out. After that he just tied his raft to ‘The Whimsical Lady’ came aboard for a meal, got sewn up by the surgeon’s and never left. He hoped this crew thought of him as a member, but it was not like they told him to leave anyway. Plus, the surgeon’s seemed fascinated by his lack of any sense of pain. Now he spends his day on the ship with the crew. He helps when he wants to, but when he is feeling lazy he just goes to his raft that is still being pulled by The Whimsical Lady. However, his goal has been and remains to this day, the destruction of the corrupted military that corrupted the country of Maerin. The place he loved more than anything. Despite this, he has still never told the crew, for fear they would find him crazy (despite everyone probably already thinking that).

In this scenario, Vyxyl would have just taken the treasure and left him in the raft to float to wherever the currents took it. He would have been an unknown stranger with some treasure being her only interest and nothing more. There wouldn't be medical care or friendliness to a stranger. He'd more likely end up in the brig if she had wanted to bother with him at all. This would have been a "hey, easy target, take this stuff and go."

So please just talk with me about scenarios to get Vyxyl's side of a story.

Additionally, you still left the tattoo thing which again would be more like a platoon tattoo, like a squadron crest tattoos. Not awards. Awards are called ribbons, medals, or just awards (which is just a fancy paper saying good job). So he would have only gotten those tattoos if he went out to get them himself to represent those things, they wouldn't be awards.

:\ I get the whole 'rule of cool' trope but I sorta feel like I've had to repeat my last points that I had brought up, because after your edits the issues are still there.
 
Fable Fable I thought I solved all issues seeing as I rephrased the tattoo thing to just that his platoon gave them to him and separated them from awards. Also, forgives me again and I will fix the backstory once again.
 
Fable Fable It hink I got all the issues solved now. However, if something is still not up to your standards please let me know.
You're on the roster now. Just an FYI you could have edited the previous CS posts rather than remove them (as staff I can see them removed and the reason so written so...)

Good to know now. Sorry, never used BBCode. Anyways, should we discuss how to introduce him to the group?

I am fine with what I call 'Schrodinger's Player' aka Adventure League Style; he could have been there the entire time or you can opt to introduce him as a new crew member joined from their time in the port of Booty Bay (as they are preparing to leave the port as of last GM post).
