I can't think of anything that stands out right at this second. Mostly I'm waiting to see how the whole getting people to the city thing is fleshed out. Everything else is pretty well outlined.

As for the whole can run your own business type thing, would it be cool then to run say a training facility where you trained people's shifter slaves for fighting?

Hmm with regards to celestials. How do you handle the idea that a spirit of some concepts has always existed? Like if I wanted someone to be the personification of the competitive spirit. There's already a lot of competition driving the world so how would I justify there not already being a celestial for that. I mean I did see that they could retire so maybe I guess you could pretend the old one lost their competitive spark?

Oh and about the character quest system, there should be a limit to how many quests you can have active. Otherwise you could get someone reserving half a dozen concepts when they realistically can't even have that many characters for ages.

Other than that it all looks good to me and I am excited to plot with everyone else about rp funtimes.

Well I haven't gotten around to finishing the outline of the High St. District.
Basically it has a Coliseum (probably with attached training/practice yards)...
however much like the olden days of Rome most of the elites tended to own and train their gladiators. Not really have a school for them...however people can have character owned school?

XD I'll have to put up that as well in the Groups/Guild page along with the Knight Order of Vienosti Angels.

And basically a Celestial is a self and belief-made God.
Enough people believe in a concept and it manifests as a god. Basically..
and true there has been a lot of competition (the concept) since the dawn of man...but to become a god you have to have a following, a church and people praying to you. OvO Yeah.

And it's not a spark or anything you inherit...but that can be one of the ways to become a god as well though. /thinks on it.
Like a character can have a background history of being a former member of a church of competitive spirit...and the God wants to retire and be forgotten in the town of Memoriam and can bestow upon your character the mantle of the position. OvO

Good thinking on that as well.
Hmmm... at least 2 unaccepted quest at a time?
And only 1 accepted quest at a time. Meaning you have
to get your accepted character created before you can have another approved quest? --do you think that would be enough? Too little? Too much?

I wasn't really thinking like one place/school where all the fighters learned but more of x person's job is to train fighters ( as well as study their opponents for up coming fights if they know beforehand etc) and may be hired by one of the elites to work with just their fighters. So it's more of a personal training/ coaching job where you only have one client ( equaling a couple fighters) at a time and the more the people you train win the more valuable you are/ the more people may want to end your contract with your current employer and steal you.


Hmm it might be better to just limit it to 2-3 quests period. You can also run into the problem that if you limit how many quests be actively considered accepted you could have someone with say 2 concepts they really like but if concept A was approved before concept B then they have to get concept A first even if over time they start to like the second idea better but it's not considered accepted or active yet.

It's up to you though.

OTL I don't want to make one more NPC at this point of time.
This shop won't really focus on the coliseum fights...
it's just one part. Like a mini-game.

Maybe I'll just have a dice game Quest for shifters who want
to concentrate on the gladiator side. But right now...
omg...too many NPCs on my plate. D:

Although I could always get one of my current NPCs for it...
but the only one in charge would be Madam Vivi the succubus.
And she's more the one who manages who's going to fight next
rather than a trainer. X__x

Yeah...3 max person allowed.

0-0 I wasn't suggesting a new npc, I just wanted to know if something like that could exist? Like if I got a character and they ended up working/studying under a coach could they take up that sort of job themselves someday. Like if a denizen char became interested in how it all works could their goal be to take over a training business or build their own reputation and get hired?

I like my characters to have personal goals or something they want to achieve so that they feel more integrated into the setting. Even if most rp would take place revolving around other topics.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh XD
I think there was a misunderstanding.

Yeah totes fine.
Although he would have a lot of opposition since Shifters are in a low caste...
however maybe he got him/herself a good career and convinced a lot of Denizens of his/her integrity. Then why not? OvO

I got one Shifter in the council. XD
So they can definitely rise to a higher position...
would just make it a bit harder.

Lol I was actually thinking of using a denizen or a talent type char who got interested in the fights from watching them and then better wanted to understand them/ noticed a certain person's fighters won more often or used similar tactics etc. But a shifter struggling to rise to prominence could also work. Idk I'm not really solid on exactly what sort of person I want to try for yet. A lot will probably depend on what becomes available since I am way too poor for questing right now.

Either way I am super excited now that I have a loose concept to plot around.

Well that's okay. OvO
But if a Denizen were to enter into a fight...that would be like
some middle class person trying to enter an underground illegal brawl.

People would be like: Who d eff do you tink you are newb?
Even the shifters would be wary... ninja about his/her presence.

But yeah. XD Need to finish tings first.

I look forward to seeing the cert, I can't help there since all fonts pretty much look the same to me.

Lol breaking all the societal rules with my concepts hehehe.

Well once you have more time I can always write up a couple scenarios that are floating in my head for how it might work and you can approve the one you think works best.

The training bit could also be on a rotation based on how many wins in a given length of time. If one trainers pet wins too often in too short a time frame people could start to think that they're cheating. So they could 'take a break' by manning the training grounds and training up the slave(s) of whomever pays them the most.

Perhaps Umbra's character could get interested in the training aspect after seeing this, or perhaps proves to the current trainer that he'd be a good trainer himself and the trainer takes him under his/her wing. Many ways to go about it and from my P.O.V. they all sound interesting.

I can't wait to meet your character Umbra! biggrin

@Yoru: Ah don't give me a choice of NPC's. I'd probably play either Lady Justice, or Lunacy/Madness.

-Art over Gold. Pay me in pretties!

-What sort of creature people want their denizen should be, should be placed in the title of their quest thread. Like: [Q] Jane Doe | Red Deer Shifter. It makes it easier for the staff and questers to figure out what's been taken or is currently being quested for. There should also be a time limit on the quests. Like you have to have the quest approved in four months from the idea conception or someone else can make a quest for that species. Later on perhaps there should be a timer on the approved quests as well, if the slots for each species starts getting filled but the number of characters that have art are still low. That way people who actually want to play that species can get a chance at a slot.

D:

Why all the plotting when I need to get to work. *Sobs in a corner then flees*

I'll be home in 10-ish hours. I also don't have net access at work. ;_;

I can also try my hand at making banners Yoru, they'd be temp ones or something.

We could always have dice games. XD
If someone who is better at math can figure out how the Gladiator system works. The more wins = the more fame in society and the ability to gain more rank and fame.

XD Eh you don't like the NPCs?
You'd rather have character right?

If you don't mind, I'll crew you and you can edit
the HOW TO SET UP YOUR CHARACTER Quest thread?

If that's alright?
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... D:
I get no more Lir until tomorrow.

And banners would be lovely. ;D
You can test it out on the I/T thread test.

Cert info looks good, informative without being cluttered with two much information. I'm not sure if the gender section is necessary but it's not a big deal if it's there or not.

@ lire: I'm glad you like my base concept so far.

I can do half and half.
This I can do just tell me what you want or what are in the bounds of the shop and I can whip up some samples.
Oh that sounds like fun.

I do both mostly colors because I am a mouse artist (technically the touch pad on my laptop artist) and it takes long time for me to line and coloring seems to go faster. My little chickadee from before was all done by me.

Ah gotcha. I see, I see that I can do.

I say I am up for the task. Well this is a bit hard...Lady Watcher she seems interesting. I can see her being a possible disgruntle police commissioner type figure.
At one point will she start wavering due to the council overruling her judgement too often?

I'm cool with npc.
I would like to use the chickadee I posted later in the shop if that is okay.
