Is it bad that I've only just now realised why the world is called Tonia?
orz

Well, it's not bad, but it's certainly surprising...

I mean, Scribel, from Scribblehub... Tonia from Tony... Asteria from Aster.

Next step is to add some reference to Alverost to the world, and then to some NUF mods since all the Scribbly mods will be taken by then~

'-'
Is there something not generic about a vampire?
'-'

I actually was surprised more people hadn't made vampire characters...
orz

Well, vampires come with a lot of issues that are hard to work around in a roleplay! xD

So it makes sense many don't make them.

This is interesting but rather hard to do.

...oh. No, resist... do not... give... Exal... a ranged... weapon...

Can't you make him use traps and stuff instead?

I know I suck at chibi art but here's a little outline of our characters xD

I'll add colour and some more detail when I have more time, this is just a WIP really, but I thought I might as well show you guys before I head to bed since I'm not sure when I'll be able to work more on it ^^

I loved it! *glomps*

I don't think you suck at all! It looks great! \(^^)/

Can someone review my character

Thanks. How about now? May nerf down Medicine and Herbology a bit.

Feels a lot better now that you removed the method of creating bullets, because guns are extremely OP... At least until the levels 20ish or so.

The concept looks fine overall, a bit too strong for lv 1, but I could say that about 90% of the characters in the game, so that's not a problem. (it would be a problem if you were too strong for lv 5+ I'd say) Just be careful with guns in general, as they're really bonkers.

Aye I've had the same problem. The only thing you can do is A) edit it and read it over until it looks right, or B) Wing it, look at it and say it's all your master plan.

B is the approach I take for AG. A is well not going so well for me since I look at the first chapter of things I write and then the writing on the second. And, say how does these two even look alike forgetting the work that went into the first.

I like winging it! Even if you look back and think "Oh, I didn't depict my character well at that point" or "I don't think I did a good job at that quest", you can just move along and have fun~

Okay, I'll ask about the situation in my report.
Liana can't do the training properly due to being nocturnal and the training happening during the day.
At noon, she collapses no matter what.
The situation at the moment in the report is the person in charge of the training is going to change her routine so she does the teamwork stuff in the evening, while training on her own during the night when everyone else is asleep.
I wasn't sure if the guards would actually do that, or if they'd just tell her to grin and bear it like everyone else...
orz

X

Well, in this kind of circumstance, it's impossible for her to hide her needs. She will faint at dawn and nothing can be done about it. Also, I doubt she'll be able to gather blood while hidden from sight because someone should keep track of what she is doing, so... It's nigh impossible to keep the fact she is a vampire hidden.

At that point, either the guards would decide to fail her or adapt to her schedule. In all honesty, while it would definitely not be the norm for an entire squad to shift their schedule due to one person, they might actually do it this once. Because like... It would serve as training for the other 3 as they'll need to get used to fighting in the dark when visibility is bad and they're not at their peak and when their sleep schedule is thrown off-balance... Which may happen very suddenly in an emergency situation.

So... I'd say you could actually make their entire schedule become nocturnal for this week tbh. If you really wanted to of course.

Just my 2 cents at least~

... Oh, and I don't think they'd ever try to tell her to just bear with it. If you're super weakened by day and auto-faints at noon, then you're nigh-useless while the sun is up. I doubt they'd try to force you to overcome that in one week, you'd just become a liability to the team at that point, and this is not what the training is about.

 

[Nahrenne]

They should do it, there are guards 24/7, so there must be guards who also have that time schedule.

My biggest concern is that the city guard training exam is supposed to be based on teamwork and working in the team of 4 you're assigned into at the start of the week.
Changing her schedule would mean she barely interacts with her team...
orz

[Silver]

Mm...
Recent ss's Hejlikka and Julrik know she's a vampire.
Solet'Luna found out after Liana accidentally put it in her report due to absentmindedness while writing it, but she ran away before Luna could get her mitts on her.
Harrison, the guard captain, told her to take the city guard training since he noticed she didn't have a weapon or know how to fight.
As for the quest, she told Harrison she wasn't a day person, hence why she prefers to do the night shifts for quests.

So...with that in mind, would you have her still need to do day training with everyone else, or have Harrison discuss with the head instructor to change her itinerary?
'-'

You can give a different solution, if you can think of one - a fresh route would be appreciated.
'-'

X

The route, I was thinking of is her wanting to get stronger so she stubbornly does the training anyways and fails over and over again. And, she has two options confronting her racial skills and telling that small bit of herself to complete strangers or failing the exam and dragging the other three down with her.

Making the struggle is half the fun and you can have her dragging her feet throughout the week and do something with her character development.

Or, you can have her go with nocturnal teammates who favor the same fighting style as her. There's plenty of races in the game so a group of nocturnal teammates wouldn't be too much of a stretch. You just have to add her talking to the captain about going for an nocturnal based team, it'll be a small bump but you should be able to do it!

 

[Nahrenne]

Asteria from Aster.

*also didn't realise that*

Well, vampires come with a lot of issues that are hard to work around in a roleplay! xD

So it makes sense many don't make them.

Yeah, but I like the difficulty of it because it means I can show her growing and developing as she figures out how to cope in the world as one.

Also, I doubt she'll be able to gather blood while hidden from sight because someone should keep track of what she is doing, so... It's nigh impossible to keep the fact she is a vampire hidden.

I was going to have her go the whole week without drinking anything, making her weaker and weaker and more detached because of it.

I never thought of night training for emergency situations!

Yes...but Harrison is a bit sexist and believes women are weak and shouldn't fight...

<w<

Hmm...I'll think on it more with your words in mind!

Thanks for giving an in-depth reply!

Put her in a new team, or make it so that yr team wants to help you so much, they switch to the same shifts as well! :DDD

'o'

Unfortunately, she possesses a gentle personality, so she'd more just suffer in silence without actually saying anything, or bringing attention to wanting to work with nocturnal teammates.

My aim is to have her fail the exam due to having zero combat skills before going into the 1 week training.
There's only so much you can learn in 1 week - that coupled with her nocturnal situation and she'd end up failing miserably.

I'll consider it for the second/third time she does the exam.
(^-^)

I'm trying to be realistic with my roleplaying, meaning Liana doesn't end up being a Mary Sue who everyone fawns over and wants to protect.
I'm already pushing into MS territory with the elf siblings and Jasper.
Harrison is borderline atm...

[AliceShiki]

*also didn't realise that*

Ohko didn't realize this one either at first! xD (Because I was the one to introduce Asteria)

Yeah, but I like the difficulty of it because it means I can show her growing and developing as she figures out how to cope in the world as one.

Aye, it's fun to do limited characters! \(^^)/

I was going to have her go the whole week without drinking anything, making her weaker and weaker and more detached because of it.
'-'

... Can she withstand it? I mean, didn't she drink the whole bottle of rat blood and Heljikka's blood just from one day trying to stay awake in the morning? It feels... Really unlikely for her to withstand 3 days without blood, let alone a whole week.

... Not to mention people will probably some minor wounds during training and stuff, which means she'd need to control herself from going into blood lust when there is blood nearby and she is starved... *shivers*

'o'
I never thought of night training for emergency situations!
Hmm, but for that they'd need to actually know she's a vampire...

Aye, it's a complicated situation, but... Well, I personally don't see much way out, but if you can find out that you like, go for it! ^^)/

Yes...but Harrison is a bit sexist and believes women are weak and shouldn't fight...
>w>
<w<

Isn't he rethinking it a bit though? I mean, with the way he sent her to guard training, I'd expect him to have acknowledged her skills to some extent and actually want her to know how to fight.

Not saying he should stop being sexist altogether, but at least to me it looks like he acknowledged Liana as someone with potential at the very least.

Hmm...I'll think on it more with your words in mind!

*hugs back* Good luck, and remember to have fun writing it. That's the most important part! ^^)/

Oh god, I forgot she had no combat skills.

Good luck on finishing up Nahrenne the report I'm rooting for you! And, shameless plug here there's a weapon training quest if you ever want to use it.

 

[Himekawa]

Say... how does a slime sense? photoreceptor? are they sensitive to chemical? can they see? hear? feel touch? Should it be likened to amoeba? or what?

IC: okarin, how does a slime sense?

I don't think anyone set that in stone, which means you're free to do as you please! ^^)/

For the whole bottle and Hejlikka scene...that was because the day before she only had a few sips, and before that she hadn't drunk anything for a day, and before that she'd drunk from the rats.
It was more because of her instincts kicking in rather than her actually being hungry, so she could last a week but she'll be very weak and yes...could potentially attack someone if they bleed.

Isn't he rethinking it a bit though? I mean, with the way he sent her to guard training, I'd expect him to have acknowledged her skills to some extent and actually want her to know how to fight.

Not saying he should stop being sexist altogether, but at least to me it looks like he acknowledged Liana as someone with potential at the very least.

Well...with her failing at the training and collapsing from just running a few laps in the afternoon...his opinion of her has lessened during the report somewhat.

Oh god, I forgot she had no combat skills.

Good luck on finishing up Nahrenne the report I'm rooting for you! And, shameless plug here there's a weapon training quest if you ever want to use it.

Thanks!
Also, the only reason why she's doing the city guard training one is because Harrison ordered her to do it to gain combat skills and find out what weapon she should use.

I'll get rid of the gun then.

 

[AliceShiki]

I'll get rid of the gun then.

You don't need to IMO, just be careful with it~

Like... You can't produce bullets anymore, so it's not like it's a big issue anymore. (I mean, you could technically make bullets with alchemy I guess, but as long as you don't make them easily that's okay)

Kinda like @Bochi's shotgun. It basically became a bludgeon after using all bullets up.

Still working on it, trying to make too much out of one character . I might make him more simplistic and not so complicsated

Hmm... thought's on potion prices

My character's on the cusp of making potions and I want general consensus on prices, when I start selling to the guild or other characters.

Currently the only Potion Shop on the Market ~I Think~

Spoiler: The Silver Vial

The Silver Vial
Owned by: Narissa Mephus (Mermaid)
Item Price Description Healing Potion x 5 40 A potion that helps heal internal injuries. Mana Potion x 5 40 A potion that helps replenish lost mana. Tri-Flower Antidote 20 An antidote for the poisonous tri-flower plant.

The new new market shops aren't up yet, but the price there was going to be 80G for a weak healing potion and 160 G for a weak mana potion

*Quietly plays with Sable today while thinking about Felicia*

Is she doing okay???

Spire Reef seemed like a very scary place.

Btw, it's kinda funny to me how like, because some people post more and often times do quests that require long passages of time (like weeks or even months), the flow of time becomes really really weird in the game~

Like... Nene has only been in AG for a bit longer than a month, but Felicia and Luna stayed months here already, maybe even a whole year~

The game's fluid timeline is certainly very helpful in this regard, it would be maddening to try keeping everyone's sense of time in place~
