Seekers of Illumination

[Kuradic]

Deca: Great, this will be a great boost of enthusiasm. Mostly because I read the post you gave on you and Suzu's battle. In just that one post, I knew I wanted to go against you. Your posts seem stronger in description (once again, no offense Tidus) and with this duel, it should help us both grow in talent.

T.G. Oskar: Once again, I strongly agree with your decision. Also for the questions you asked, here are my responses.
Location: Earth
Time: Future(but not too far)
Type: I say adventure is the best, but I also think we shouldn't all start off in the same place. That way, by way of RPing, we might meet as allies....or as an enemy.

Kai: I ask, since Deca as accepted my duel request, that you be the one to set up our thread. Please respond if you wish to do so.

[Kaitou]

Although I rather saw the whole mission-based RP as a failure, it may prove more successful under a different host. This will allow us to use our current RPB characters. However, it somewhat restricts the use of an ongoing plot.

An idea I'd like to offer: How about we have a rather open RP where our characters cooperate/conflict due to a shared conflict. Example: Kuragari (Kuradic), consumed by the evil of his cursed sword, cooperates with Kaitou, a fallen angel, to attack SoI (don't use this poor example).

As far as my activity goes, I'm usually active during the weekdays.

Kuradic & Deca: Well Kuradic has convinced me to continue with the my battle with Deca, it takes me a while to reply since I want to make my post to be perfect as possible and since I have priorities dealing with school. Do not worry Deca I will reply later this week; before Monday.

I'll consider some facts, since being me who hosts the thread, that means I might not be most of the time, so I won't be pestering on it that much, but in the boundaries of time, I expect those who wish to participate to keep it at least active. I won't expect more.

If you wish to participate, I would like some ideas on the matter. What kind of stuff would you like me to put in the thread.

TGO I will support you every step of the way, that is if you don't mind that I also concentrate on school. I will post frequently, I just hope to see that everyone posts also, but I can see now that our members are more interested in RP/RPB than our previous club.

In my opinion, I want the setting to be current Earth and then some other time we somehow move to a different setting (other than Earth) where a new adventure begins. I hope that is alright with everyone.

Alright, if we can use the same RPB character , although it is optional, do you think we should keep the same techniques and skills we use in our RPBs or do we stick with one skill as a start? I don't think it would be fair for us if we all started 'mucho' strong, it would be nice if we all could develop our characters together. This is just my opinion, but I do not know what everyone would like. Anything concerning equipments and all other info from our RPB statistic are still used, correct?

*thinks more, and suddenley has another idea* By the way, is it possible that we begin by introducing our characters? We start from the time our characters first took up a weapon until the time they reach the same level as our RPB statistic. This is just a thought. I apologize if I am going overboard.

I can shift between these three at any moment, if you want. I can even make some stronghold defense, where random enemies enter the Pillars and you can defeat them.

TGO, mission-based RP is alright with me, but I prefer that we do that once in a while. What I want to head toward to is that we actually create a story that revolves around us..

Well, that's I have to say right now, but I will be back! See you guys later!

[T.G. Oskar]

The intro mission would work like this: I, and probably Suzu and Kaitou will determine how we got the Pillars demiplane, and how we changed from the GS into the SoI. The new members, in that case, would introduce themselves in their own way, detailing how they managed to know of the faction, and why they want to get in. Of course, it's not going to be like in real life: I'll just say something like Suzu and Kaitou sent me to check on a new place, I found it, and ...actually, I'll tell you once I have more time. Gotta go. See ya later, people.

[Deca]

TGO: The last post in your battle.. it's nice.. .. .. ..

Suzu: Oh damn I'm on the page before the last page, and I don't remember what you said...but to whatever you said, "okay." haha. something about school? Don't worry, it happens.

Kuradic: ..forgot what you said, too..but yeah, it's whatever. I'm game to rpb you, as I said before.

TGO, again: Someone will have to help me with the mission based RPs though.

[Kuradic]

T.G.Oskar, it seems Kai cannot set up Deca's and my battle. We would be greatful if you would be the one to set up our thread.

Deca: It seems our fight might be delayed for quite a bit. Also, In case you haven't checked recently, Suzu has posted in your fight.

[joesteel64]

Geez, looks like I've missed a a lot since I've last been on, but with schoolwork (high school English is a beast), and an attempt at the AMV craze, I haven't had much time.

@Kuradic: Sorry for having not posted in our battle. In case you didn't get the PM, if you would like, since the whole stabbed at as opposed to stabbed has been cleared up, you could re-do your last post.

@T.G.O.: The idea about a mission based RP sounds great. I'm thinking of ideas for a potential setting as we speak.

EDIT: sorry about the name mix up, T.G.O. and Loco, on this post. I wasn't all here.

[T.G. Oskar]

Whooo, I just love the guys here at my college that deal with the wireless servers!!! They left all of my friends without Internet for the last two days, so I was unable to connect...

Great news!!! I am checking out prices and stuff to buy that computer I want so much!!! So far, I think I'm going for a Dell...nice computer service, and they last a bit more than Compaqs/HPs, though not as much as Toshibas or Sony laptops.

Anyways...on to the topic of the RP. So far, Kuradic wants a futuristic Earth, while Suzu wants a current RP with traveling possibilities. I'll see to incorporate both. So, unless anyone has another idea, the setting will be these: a not so far away Earth, the plane we hold (the Pillars, the old castle, and the surroundings, which will be the main stronghold), and later on I shall figure out other locales to visit. The not-so-far Earth will be very similar to ours, including the current situations, but hidden threats will be lurking, and magic will be resurfacing after a long time sealed. Sorta like Shadowrun (nice RPG, BTW), but with some main differences. I assume everyone will be playing humans, celestial beings, or fallen angels, but if you want to look like an elf, dwarf, or orc (...), just ask me.

Since Suzu tends to agree with the idea of using the RPB characters...I'll agree with your idea, but partially. See, Kaitou, Suzu and I are the members with seniority here, thus we should have better characters. No offense, but I'd like to have some continuity within the BoL/GS/SoI history. The BoL are history, and the GS found a new path to follow, thus the old members decided to make the change. The new members will start with lesser power, but might be able to develop new skills which will be their brainchilds, and thus allow them to add such skills to the RPB realm. Of course, some skills are better if they're left in the RP realm (as in things like strong barriers, strong healing spells and the like; y'know, the things that are not allowed in RPB but allowed in RP. I'll mention which things are allowed and which not in the OOC thread.) Anyways, Suzu, Kaitou and I will have relatively better strength because of our fights, and the newbies will begin with less strength than the older members. I see it better that way. That also allows for continuity: I introduced my character very well in the first fight I had with Kaitou more than a year ago, and the fight with Anomaly awakened some of the powers I had not known. The RP, I expect, will develop us to a better extent.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with the term, but if you like, you can consider what should be canon to your story and what not. I refer to what RPBs in which your character has appeared will be considered part of your personal story, and which not.

@Deca and Kuradic: well, sure, why not? But remember, I work on feedback, because I hate making up something just to see the people not liking it. I assume a battle at the Pillars or it's surroundings, but if not, just tell me and I'll change it.

[Kuradic]

*TGO: Well, I don't know what you mean by you work on feedback, but a battle at the Pillars would be a fine arena for me and Deca to battle it out. Thanks again. Also congrats if you can get your cpu that you always wanted.

*Tidus: Don't worry about it. Also, me getting stabbed, it's fine too. It actually opened up into something interesting. This way one of the combatants has a decent sized injury.

[T.G. Oskar]

@Deca and Kura: Alright, there, done. I don't know if I'll be watching or not, but your battlefield's made. I took the liberty to explain a bit about the Pillars location, and what I envision it to be: a city, with the old castle in it, and the actual, physical Pillars making the plaza. I envision the Pillar Plaza to be a place of discussion, and dedicated to knowledge. Expect the place to develop in that way when I manage to make the RP, OK? That's gonna be our stronghold and our starting point, just in case.

There, a freebie: a sneak peek at the RP's first setting. I'll explain later on.

Niiiice...managed to get some Internet time outside of normal schedule...don't expect that to be common...

[Kuradic]

*TGO: Awesome, thanks again. I'll check out the post as soon as possible. Also, how's the RP going for the idea you set up?

*Deca: Lets make this a good RPB^^. This should be fun, and a great exp. to improve both our skills for RPing/RPBing.

[Azuteor]

T.G.O: Sounds good, looks like you got everything set. When the RP begins, if it is alright, I would like to continue my story after the battle between Deca and I. That is... if we ever get finished. Getting a computer? Awesome!

Btw nice intro post for Kuradic and Deca's fight.

Deca: Deca? Deca? Where are you? You said you would post that night, where is the post? Gah! T.T

[Kuradic]

*TGO: Thanks again for setting up our thread. I have posted in it as well.

*Tidus and Deca: Where are you guys? You haven't posted in a while.

Here's something that I'm wondering right now. Is space unlimited, or does it have an end?
