Approaching Apocalypse [5 / N] Players

"What is it to you, if I knew any?"

 

“Just need some advice to help perfect my work.”

“Plus I’m just curious. I never meant someone that wielded true magic before. It’s part of the reason why I came to this land in the first place.”

 

Disarm (either the weapons or literally) anyone who gets to close with my shortsword. For the most part though, do not engage.

 

"I'm not sure if Karkans even know any magic to begin with and I doubt elves would be so kind to share their magic to outsiders. Why didn't you just join an Academy of the Arcane?"

________________________________

You manage to get a hold of one of the black rods, however by stopping you gave enough time to two other guards to hit you on the head with their rods.

A powerful electric shock went through your body. Also becouse you were hit in the head you fell to the ground and started spazing out.

The guards wrap you in some sort of elastic cloth and carry you to the bottom floor.

 

“Never heard of them. Do you know where they’re at?”

 

My only regret is that I'm not chestburstering out of an organic body.

Now, I can interpret the typo 'spazing' as either 'spacing' or 'spazzing', and I really want to do the former.
Sadly, the blood advantages don't really work with electricity.
Either way, chestburst (out of a cloth :/ ) and kill at least 2 of them in the ensuing chaos. Now that I know what the rods do, dodge. I've been trained, godsdamnit.

 

spazzing

Nani?

Uhh... You burst out of the chest, but you bounce back in becouse the cloth is elastic.

"WHAT THE FUCK?"

The guy who stuck the syringe into your? arm, is now down the stairs looking at the scene.

"*sigh* Great! Now we need to get Scrubbing Team. You hold him down and I will go contact them."

He walks past you and enters the second to last last door in the corridor.

 

Lie down until they take me wherever and unwrap me, then start killing them.

 

@Anthony Fantano

 

@BlueSlimerino
After few skin crawling days of sitting around deformed beings and drinking gray liquid that had no taste you finally felt like killing somebody. Standing up everything suddenly want back to normal.

Aryan: "Okay, so here's the job."

He hands you a rather crude drawing.

Spoiler: The Institute

"A while back an angel was spotted on this island and right after it was spotted The Institute had taken it to their building. Our clint wants the angel dead. Now, I ws able to get a job as the repairman tasked with repearing the foutain. Thanks to this I was able to dig a tunnel that goes undrneath the fence and allows us to enter the premises. When we got to the other side of the fence we'll need to get to the fifth window (as seen on my amazing diagram), we''ll run into some agents which we'll need to kill. So be prepeared for an ambush. Lastly our target is an angel so be prepared for a bit of a fight."

He leans back in his chair.

"So, you got all that?"

A team wearing white coats masks and gloves takes you down to the basment.

You pass countless rooms, until eventually you're brought to a room devided into two parts.

One is white part with couple of filling cabinets, a desk, ceiling lamp and a chair and the other is steel room with two drains and a shower head.

The room is devided with translucent wall and door.


They throw you into the room and close the door.

You see a man in a lab coat walk in.

Lab Coat Man: "So, just what are you?"

@HMTN Quick reminder if you didn't notice my mention.

 

aight that just ain't fair play

These people should have no idea anything about me is off, nothing in any story I just told them is off, and this is clearly a hamfisted GM attempt to get me to disclose information that I'd prefer to keep secret until a dramatic moment (that, or just take the ceiling route, where everyone just gradually becomes aware of it). In all respect for due process, I demand a retcon.
Also, why is there modern tech in an ostensibly medival fantasy rp?

If it seems like I just explode at random moments, it's because text lets you not reveal growing discontent until it gets over a threshold.
That and I do tend to explode at random moments.

Seriously, though.

 

Well, to answer that question The Institute is highly specialised research group (like the SCP Foudation) so they are used to dealing with strange stuff like angels, demons, Errors (those things that apper when I go on long breaks) and other strange crap. You can't JUST kill them, there is a combat system and I can't exactly use it if I don't know what you can do. Also you could have lied, you know the standard thing you ca do to not disclose any actual information. I just kinda wanted to know what I'm supposed to do with your character and it doesn't help that you reply once a day.

Some modern tech had been intruduced by Karkans, some came from interdimensional portals. This WAS going to be explored in the future; it still will be, just fyi. And THe Institute being, The Institute they got hands on all the cool technology. Besdies it isn't some medival fantasy, you can get guns in this world, nothing too advanced, but you could buy a rifle with few gold coins if you were lucky to find a vendor.

Just on a sidenote, I have nothing aginst you, but you sometimes don't allow things in the GF either and push the story dissbenefits on players, like getting Eradius out of the game for a month.

I hope I somehow answered you r questions and i you want to restart, (which I am willing to do) then at least tell me some more information. If you're angry that I'm putting not haandling your character correctly than at least give me something more to work with.

 

@HMTN

 

First, the once a day thing is due to honors work. I assume you know what it's like, judging by the video you posted. I've been hyper-active this weekend, though, so I occasionally ramp up.

Second, "Spellsword". He knows like 3 spells but mainly hits things with a sword. My character is hired by people to hit things with swords. He's pretty good, but his main skills are having refined sword-hitting technique and the thing that which is a secret. The reason I didn't give you much to work with is that he's a secondary character. He's meant to be that stoic big guy of the group, not a standalone hero.

Third, That tech level sort of makes sense (See: GW2), but a huge part of making a world is making it self-consistent. If you're selling pseudo-medieval, any changes to the status quo need to be either gradual or explosive, gamechanging events. Instantly going from "somewhat medieval" to "modern day tech" without a single bit of fanfare destroys suspension of disbelief.

Fourth, the "being out of the game for a month" thing. You have a point. My railroading is kind of terrible. Still, you tried to leave everyone and everything as fast as possible, and ended your day as fast as possible. Not much I can do about that. Your character's murderous sociopathic psychotic etc etc makes it an absolute nightmare to rp, as a character like that can't actually interact with people. I don't mean to be an unnecessary jerk about it, but Eradius is just as hard of a character to use as Desan is, if not more. He's too strong to be a token evil teammate and he's too full of hatred to be a normal one.

 

"Do we have to be quiet?"

 

"We don't want to be spotted until we enter the building."

 

"So I can have my fun?"

 

I've seen you ramp up, twice.
At the beggining of GF and yesterday.

Sure, but expect me to pull you all around the place since I'm not sure what to do with you.

I disagree. I think since individual characters aren't playing as a team, I can intruduce you to different levels of tech.

If I recall correctly I tried leaving the city to not get killed. Than in the other city I got to I run drank some strong alcohol and passed out, I didn't HAVE to pass out, but I did. Then I went expoloring, killed a guy, burned down some people and you kept insisting that I go to sleep, so I did; and so I got locked out of the game for a month.

Isn't Dez killing people almost, or even just as much as me?

Okay, here's a little tip from your uncle BEST TEETH IN THE GAME, since Eradius is now on his own, you could put him in more op situations, that's what I'm doing with my boi @H0Y0Y0Y0Y0B0Y . His character is pretty op (at least in my opinion), he gets really good equipment and his attacks are pretty strong, but he just keeps running away from things. He along with every other character is separated from one another, that's why he's stronger than others. When I finally decided to meet some characters, like I was possibly going to do with you and @BlueSlimerino their power level may vary, that does not mean one is better or worse thn the other. You could resolve sitiations in more ways than one, @H0Y0Y0Y0Y0B0Y keeps running away despite he possibly could defeat most of the enemies he's running away from. I sometimes do want certain things to happen like keeping @Tsuin around the cart for the assassin(?) to appear.
All I'm saying is that you could come up with more than one way to justify characters being more op than others, as well as there are different ways to continue the story. But hey, that's just my opinion and I don't know any better than you do.

 

"What do you define as fun?"
