Hurrah, and I also have another friend who might sign up but then again maybe not. >_< Hopefully he will. It would be awsome if it started on Sunday.
Shadow of the Fallen
Then have at it! Thanks for looking everyone up Syko, helps out a lot.

We should be underway soon, depending on who joins up. I have a few more people that I have to look up, then I'll be out of luck there. We're close.. And getting closer every day, how many more do we need MD?
MDRud216
4... the coutdown in my sig is always updated as soon as I see a new member so refer to that... but I am not limiting it to 4 more players the more the better

*yay
mrpyromania
Ohh... I'm itching with exitment! Don't worry,I'm not a noob to RP'ing (Unlike Jurtalo biggrin.gif ). I will see if I can get anyone else to join.
SyKoHaVoK
Well my friend is joining today. Or at least he should be joining.....I dont know what he is going to be. And no need to thank me for getting members, I want to start just as bad as you do. wink.gif
Shadow of the Fallen
Uh.. if your not going to thank him, surely you can thank me. I like to be praised.
Jouralto
I'm not that much of a noob at RP'ing! I just get kinda nervous in new places. I've been RP'ing in different places for the past 4 years!! ranting2.gif
Shadow of the Fallen
I've been roleplaying for the past 8 years or so, whats your point Newb? (JK)
Flying_Muskrat
Hi.

Yeah Syko, it's me DnD.

I started off in the second Azeron, and provided the v3.5 System Reference Document (Basically the D&D v3.5 rules passed out by Wizards for free off the net) for Azilith.

Yeah, he can only keep one Sand Golem at a time, and it's very tiring, since he's not the most intelligent guy around. Sorta clumsy, really.

Anyway, hope that cleared something up.

Shadow of the Fallen
Guess who, DnD...

Thalius_Nightwind

Welcome to hell.
Flying_Muskrat
Uhh, yeah, I sort of knew already that it was you. Syko did tell me you where somewhere around here, and I looked for the guy who seemed to be the best roleplayer other than the GM. Simple, eh?
happy.gif

And thanks for having me. You're gonna regret it, mwahahahah! tongue.gif
Shadow of the Fallen
Well, isn't that sweet.. "The best roleplayer besides the GM" he says..

Oh well, back to work slave *cracks whip* Kill those vamps!
MDRud216
if by GM you mena me... i AM FLATTERED, but this is my second time Dming... my first was A New Power... I have gotta talk my friends into letting me DM for them on DnD... they will not give me a freakin chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shadow of the Fallen
Heh, if there is any roleplayer in the world that thinks he can best me, let him come. I'd love the challenge.

And just tell your friends that if they don't let yo DM they're going to have to answer to me. wink.gif (funny how far we've gone off topic.)
SyKoHaVoK
Wha? DM? Whats that? Demon Monster? Im confused....... help.gif DM sounds scary.......Okay Im just kididng, but anyway. My friend IS going to join and hes going to be a guardian....what joy
Jouralto
It's all about the vamps!!!!

hyperk1
hey if you guys aren't letting people sign up anymore than disregard this but if you are this is my info

QUOTE
Name:Vildras Uvaryon
Sex: Male
Vampire
Favored Weapon: Unarmed
Special Attribute: Agillity
Description: He is most known to his fellow vampires as being very quick and agile, more so than the average vampire. He uses his skill in unarmed combat daily as his job is to be a hunter. His quick movements and agile dodges are too much for his prey and are shortly overcome when he counter-attacks with is razor-sharp claws. Not nessicarily the strongest of vampires but is so quick that he can dodge the attacks of his larger, slower opponets. It is said that victims of his claws have slashed straight through him but yet no damage seems to have been inflicted,rumor amoung guardians is that he has a special invulnerabllity to weapons, but other vampires who know of him know that due to his speed and agile movements he can create mirror images of himself. Due to his training as a hunter, he is skilled at setting traps, some with special enchantments, some just regular. He is usually found wearing an olive drap pair of pants, a blak shirt, and a black cloak.
Profession: Hunter


Ok thats my character, this is the first time i have done any RP'ing in a long while or on this forum. And if the profession of hunter doesn't exist for vamps. i can make another. And dont worry i wont do any crap like saying "he flies at yoyu and cuts you into 2 pieces" in the first message in a fight. I know some but a little rusty , if ya know what i mean.
Shadow of the Fallen
... We haven't got enough people to start yet, and the doors are always open!.. MDRud even stated that this was open for "an unlimited amount of players" and the way he runs his other campaigns suggests that he would continue the pattern..

Actually, I think he only has one other open.. But it is still open!!

mrpyromania
It now stands at 1 more vampire slot and 2 more Guardian slots before we can start.(I think)
MDRud216
*edits sig wink.gif

Hunter: the class is fine... but keep in mind you would not be hunting animals for meat you would be hunting traveling humans to bring back alive to your city or wahtever (eat him yourself). Or: sneaking into towns/cities/villages at night and kidnapping someone to take back or just draining them there. but since you are a hunter you would likely be taking back live humans in addition to what you need to survive.
hyperk1
Well, somebody has to go it. Lets just say i need to wound them so i can actually take them back,or use lethal force when needed,you know for when i need to defend myself.
Flying_Muskrat
Cricket. Cricket.

Shadow of the Fallen
I think I could play an extra character if need be.. 2 in a pinch.. but I would only do so until more people signed up.. I really want this to get underway. So whatever you think will work, lets do it.
Evien
Umm is this right?
Race:Guardian
Gender:Male
Favored Weapon: Bow
Skills: (are these right?) dextarity, speed, intelligance, strength
Description: Evien is rarly seen and lives about a mile away from the guardian base in the woods hunting. He uses his bow to hunt wild animals and the occasional vampire. He is usually seen wearing black clothes.
Proffesion: Hunter
MDRud216
try this...

Name:
Gaurdian
Favored Weapon:
Special Attribute:
Description/history:

...and look at the other sign up sheets for more examples biggrin.gif
mrpyromania
Now it's 1 Guardian and 1 Vampire.(mesa thinks)
Evien
I think I got it
Name: Evien
Guardian
Favored Weapon: bow
Special attribute: dextarity
Description: Evien is rarly seen and lives about a mile away from the guardian base in the woods hunting. He uses his bow to hunt wild animals and the occasional vampire. He is usually seen wearing black clothes.
Proffesion: Hunter
ensis
So only one more for each side? Hmm, call up your friends! bleh.gif
MDRud216
look at the key in the map... it is an ash waste land, but otherwise you are good!!
hyperk1
I just saw the key to the map, and dang, this would be a huge place, that little line is supposed to be 500 miles??
Shadow of the Fallen
MDRud216, shame on you! Update the siggy, man.
MDRud216
yes, that little line is 500 miles. The setting for this rpg is vast, and it has to be for the storyline... also I saw that Evien said "about one mile from the Gaurdian Base" but like that you would literally be living in it's shadow and it would dominate more than half of the sky... that little tower is just an icon though, and is blown up signifigantly, but the actual fortress is still massive.
Evien
I meant to live in its shadow. I didn't want my character to be completely seperated from the base, just enough for a little privacy and forest space.That way my guy could walk to it in 10 minutes.
MDRud216
I am getting really bored with these forums... sorry guys but I am shutting this RPG down...


jk!! but I am getting kinda bored, who wants to just start up now with 8 members instead of ten... I will keep the sign up open for more people but I want to start RPing!!
SyKoHaVoK
I could live with that biggrin.gif
Dagger of Symachus
I'm a comeplete n00b at this (haven't participated in an RP at all) but I guess I might as well start somewhere:

Character Name:Volrath
Vampire
Favored Skill:Agility
Favored Weapon:Duel Venomous Wakizashis
Description: Volrath was a young boy when he began duel Wakizashis combat. But he was one of the few people interested in wakizashi combat let alone duel wakizashi combat in his small town so he had to teach himself. He practiced for about 4 years on nearby creatures on the outskirts of his town, though they were never much of a challenge. When he was coming back to his home from the outskirts of town, he was attacked by a vampire. He managed to fight it off, though he knew that he had been infected by vampirism. He attempted to resist is urges and though that he would leave town to help himself. He went into exile and trained into a comeplete master of Wakizashis. But he fed rarely during his exile, making him very weak. He returned to his hometown, the only place he knew that was adequate for feeding. He slaughtered all but the smith, who said that he could improve the design of Volrath's current Wakizashis if he kept him alive. Volrath agreed, and the smith linded the blades with ebony making the weapon much tougher. He killed the smith anyways out of spite, expecting more of an improvement. He decided to search out one of the vampire cities. Along the way to one he came across several poisonous animals that he learned how to implement their venom in his wakizashis.

Once there, he gained much respect as people learned of his incredible control of wakizashis. One of the vampiric elders did not believe that one so young could have such control and decided to fight Volrath. He was slaughtered just like Volrath's own village.

Volrath had only been inside of legions of the vampires for a short time until he killed several guardians, proving his worth more. Now he is considered a quite valuable asset of the vampire army. Volrath is short among the vampires, being only 5'2. Volrath generally wears light leather armor under a black cloak with a hood.

Job:Weapon Master

Any tips for him?

(Edit) Thanks Shadow the Fallen, I replaced raised in the ranks with he gained much respect. I also changed his job into Weapon Master so as to not present a current social class.
Shadow of the Fallen
Impressive display for a "noob". Here's my take on it, everything is fine, except for the talk of ranks. As I belive MDRud216 has mentioned before that the vamps don't have actual "Ranks", more they obey their leaders out of respect for thier power and their ferocity. Or maybe respect isn't the word.. They fear their leaders, and I would imagine that people of lower orders would often try to stay away from them outside of battle, for fear they might change status from undead to dead.

Just a little tidbit about Vampire culture for you to keep in mind. Welcome to the chaos.
hyperk1
ok than, all we need now is one guardian. I wonder who it will be?
MDRud216
hey, I like your character... just one thing to say- ...umm wait a minute...right happy.gif jsut one thing to say:

edit: saw your edit, also you said job: elite infantry, which is okay just realize that there are no clear ranks beside respect or fear that younger vampires would have towards their elders.

Concerning social status and ranks or military organization of vampires: MY first post in the game thread will likely be very massive, especially considering I will be setting up two storylines that intertwine and many various side stories... you will have a good idea of both races society before the intro phase is done if not before my starting post is even done.
mrpyromania
GASP! You haven't updated your sig yet. Shame on you MDRud216! tongue.gif
hyperk1
I bet compared to everyone elses my character is a real pansy. sad.gif . I dont think i am very good at these things,I am going to revise my character profile to make him seem a bit more like a hunter, some more stuff, so if you want, you can check out my edited new post.

BTW: Is this supposed to based off of morrowind or not, cause i dont think it is but it might be so can someone please tell me if it is or not.
MDRud216
no it is not a Morrowind RPG and has no reation to Morrowind a all. Which reminds me:Dagger of Symachus stated eboned lined weapons... I hope you mean the wood or whatever real ebony is...
Dagger of Symachus
Yeah, I do. It was ment to renforce the steel on Volrath's wakizashis making them strong and sharper as the wood and make them take less smithing. It is also the only way the my character could implement venom in his weapons (by letting the ebony blade be covered in venom for days on end giving it a poisonious surface).

And I know that we're vampires and as stated above that it is not based on MW, so does that mean that they will be more like the "real" vampires (eg:Nosferatu, Draco, etc.) and if so will we be only one type and which one or more then one type?
MDRud216
Vampires don't have alternate forms in this RPG if that's what you mean... they can't fly but their superhuman strength, speed, and agility make it possible for them to jump very high and far, outrun any human... and the fastest could outrun horses. Also they have the ability to climb up vertical serfaces (which was stated in the sign up sheet.) what do you mean by real vampires
Dagger of Symachus
I came across a website that told me about the four most common types of vampires. I'll give you a link Vamp info. It gives a ton of info on four different vampire types. Now are all of the vampires in this story of one of these types or a different type?
MDRud216
I have kind of invented my own type of Vampire that was inspired by various authors and my own devious imagination holloween.gif so no, my Vamores featured in this RPG are of my own design but they follow the basic "drink blood to remain imortal scheme".
Dagger of Symachus
Ok, so there kind of just the basics of vampires, nothing special such as the mutilated body of the Nosferatu. Got it. Just guessed since you posted that your character was inspired by the Nosferatu once. Must have been from a book you read, not from the site.
