"Race for a Breakthrough"

So hey! I've been wanting to break in my character, Ferric, by role playing in a group. I really like being able to role play in groups and do character building and such without having the plot centre around any specific character. > o <

Currently, the setting can be anything in a sci-fi and fantasy sense. I had a map for an original world for reference's sake, but... I suppose I'll leave that to anyone that's interested in the role play and what they have to say about it. X3

Dice Rolls

Dice rolls in this particular setting are going to be... extremely basic, for a lack of better terms. There are no real stats to calculate; they are there mostly to go ahead and give randomness to the hits, swings, and misses of battle to avoid power playing or going god mode on the enemies that will be available later on in the role play that will be done.

Rolling Attacks

Below DC 5: No hit / missed attack.
DC 5: Shallow cut, glancing blow, small bruise, etc.
DC 10: Dazed enemy, black eye, moderate cut, etc.
DC 15: Fractured bone, crippling strike, grave injury, etc.
DC 20: Fatal injury that would perhaps even lead to death.

Rolling Defence

Below DC 5: Failed defence, chipped or torn armour
DC 5: Deflect or dodge lesser attack.
DC 10: Deflect or dodge a moderate attack.
DC 15: Deflect or dodge a heavy attack.
DC 20: Deflect or dodge a fatal attack.

RP Details

A group of scientists and botanists that are within the medical field and work for a company known as the Yggdrasil Lab are on their way to study and cultivate some alien flora that has started growing in the tropical parts of the continent of the Elves. These people are ill suited for battle, and know that there are dangers out there -- that is where you come in and are hired given you have the necessary qualifications to go ahead and protect these people with the idea that you would also be receiving payment and experience to tuck under your belt.

The alien flora is reported to allow certain creatures do certain things -- like primarily land animals are now able to hold their breaths for about five times as long as they normally would be able to, and there has been non-harmful changes is fun pigmentation upon consumption of these floral oddities. Not to mention that there are reports of insects and birds that seem to act strange around these plants when observed.

((Gosh, sorry for the shoddy rewrite -- I came back to this thread and everything underneath the 'Characters in Role Play' section had been deleted for some reason.))

It's times like these I'm glad I made a bodyguard character. I'd like to join, though I will admit to being inexperienced with dice.

I have a couple characters that might fit into this RP! Maybe my character Miriela or my other character Synthia?

I'd like to join with Bertram. This seems really interesting. I haven't had a lot of experience with dice, but I'll try the best I can.

I have a fantasy character that I've been tweaking with (not made a page on here for him yet) that I'd love to break in RolePlay wise. Rock Golem that goes by the name Grant (yes the pun on granite is intentional, please don't sue me.)

It would also be the first time I've tried dice rolls here on RPR but I am used to the practice thanks to a few DnD games.

I'll add a link to the page once I've built it up a little.

Edit: Still got basic bio and stuff to add but I have the utter barebones up: http://www.rprepository.com/site.php?char=46216&page=102983

I'll add the characters that users decide upon up to the OP. > o < /

As for the dice, there's really not a lot to be worried about. There's only two different things to roll for -- there's no modifiers like in D&D or Pathfinder. Basically they're only to see about what attacks do what, or what defences do what. It's mostly to avoid possible powerplaying, and to provide an actual environment where it can be dangerous.

@lyingsmile15

I really like Miriela. It's not often that I get a chance to RP with a lot of spellcasters. :'D

Alright, I can use Miriela. I like playing her.

Grimloq is a loud and stubborn Alchamist, but he also knows a bit about fighting. He is about three feet tall, though he would argue 3 and 1/2, and he carries a one handed mace that he has to use both hands to swing! Let me know!!!

So long as people are interested and have characters that are readily available, I'll go ahead and add them to the OP of the thread.

From the looks of things, I'll have to get something written up at some point for people to reply to in character. 8Y

I'm a little surprised more people than expected are interested, honestly. :'D

Don't forget to let us all know when the fun begins.

Is this role play you've created still open? I'd like to use Amaryllis in this to develop her as well. (Read description please )

Anyway, so I admit, I'm inexperienced with dice as well...but I would love to join anyway.

About when should we expect it to go up?

I'll have to write it sometime tonight when I'm not busy. :'D

@Amaryllis

Hmmm... well. I suppose I could squeeze you in. I don't really want the RP thread to get too player heavy because of post turn order. So I'll make you the last person that's able to get in.

Thanks!

The role play thread is up and has been edited into this thread's OP.

Hey us someone already the captain? Do you need a captain character?

Hello?

My understanding is that all involved with the RP are being hired for protecting the scientists. I would assume that a ship captain would be an NPC?

It's down to FreeJayFly though. Dropping a polite PM to them may be the best option if waiting for a response here isn't working out for you.

There's no need to double post. :U I'm generally pretty good about replying when I need to. I was asleep and I'm just now awoken.

The captain is an NPC. None of the players here will be shiphands. Everyone that is a part of this role play has their characters as part of the sellsword / mercenary troupe that is protecting the medicinal scientists and herbologists on board.

Oh ok
