Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cool. I'll try to remake that picture I had before perhaps, I lost it...heh. That's fine then. Since that's taken care of, I just want to once again compliment the exemplary condition of this guild. i recently quit my old Harry Potter guild because it was to...strict. It's like they had sticks up their collective bungholes. The HP sub-forum is much more fun.

Yeah, I was busy for a few weeks back there, and now I'm not. But don't worry Kurikins, we won't PM you demanding for posts. 4laugh I'm going to Tennessee tomorrow, actually, and then the week of the twelfth (THE WEEK HARRY POTTER #6 COMES OUT!!! SQUEE!) I'll be in Pennsylvania, lacking connection, so apprehensive apologies.

But after that week, i'm free alllll summer! w00t.

Anyways, can't wait to see those new ideas you've been talking about, good luck with the whole unpacking things, I've moved several times and it's not much fun, is it? neutral Awesome! We can start RPing again! I posted last, so I guess I'm waiting for Sryne or you or whomever to post.

Hope you guys find everything/everywhere you need down south. Again, good luck!

Kurikins, with regard to the new announcement I believe that there will be one consequence that is... well... I'm not sure whether it would be a relief or a let-down actually. The entire 'Group of Destiny' thread has been sitting there completely inactive for quite awhile. I wanted it to continue but I have not seen either Etain or Isis for a long time. I haven't seen Amarene around either. It seems that I am the only one out of that group that has been getting online and checking the guild.

Ah, sorry sorry sorry! I think our group temporarily died, but we should be alive again! Lisirra and I were just waiting for Alex, but now she's back, so our group should be okay. sweatdrop Sorry for being dead for so long!

I am really looking foreward to being able to progress again!

Hey you. smile Are you joining?

Interesting announcement. Even though I'm personally dissappointed on the part of vampires, I'm fine with it. I know I haven't been keeping up with it exactly. I'll be sure to focus more on it when we restart.

Though this will help me understand a style of vampires that isn't used much anymore. Since in most rpgs vampires do have lives, emotional complexities and all that other human mumble jumble.

The only problem I see is that the importance of my character's role isn't much. Seeing as she is just out to feed basically. Making her more of a nusiance to other characters than anything else. Making it hard to plan her actions and motives if they are to just feed on other characters. While those characters who are being attacked by her will just have to constantly face up against this vampire who just won't leave them alone. Though realistically as strong and fast as vampires are few to any characters should survive the encounter of a vampire if it's purpose was just to kill and feed. Which would kinda ruin the rpg, if they didn't have some alternative motive. Especially if they get attacked by a older vampire.



A few suggestions though if you don't mind.

As you state you weren't expecting much enthusiasm for vampires. (probably mainly from me.) Since age and the abilities of a vampire greatly effects it's performance. Maybe you should have some chart. My younger brother was able to find out that there are more than 20 abilities/powers a vampire could have. So people come here will have different ideas of what a vampire can and can not do. (If you like I'll send you the list if you like)

Also as you said, the older a vampire gets the stronger (and faster) it becomes. As well as it being more resistant to it's weaknesses and being more incontrol of it's incredible bloodlust. So having a timeline stating how stronger and fast a vampire is by a certain age; how well resistant they are to there weaknesses at that age; and how much control over themselves they are at that age. Something like this wold greatly help in the development of vampires. Since no one wants to cross that line of god modding, but niether do they want thier character to be an easy kill for a mere human/elf/anthro.

I would suggest doing the time like in maybe sets of 50 years. But first start out with like the first week, the first month, 3 months later, 6 months later, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. IF there is some kinda progress during those times.


That's just my suggestion.

My personal views on vampires aren't far from Kuri's description. Pretty much just blood thirsty, tricky beings. Although I also think they are very violent and do evil things just because they are evil... Everyones views on vampires are different based on where they are most familiar with vampires. Whether it's from reading a specific book series that shows vmapires as beautiful, smart, intelligent creatures who seduce their prey and then feed on them |or| whether they could play a game as a vampire slayer so they see vampires as disgusting, stupid, evil creatures who have to die. Nobodies views are exactly the same on MYTHOLOGICAL creatures, purely because they are not real, they are a myth, and they are what your imagination makes of them.

A thought for Angelina on motives: keep the portal between the First and Second world open so that there are more people to feed on..... Just a thought.

You can either PM me with that info, or just post it here. If you joined recently the information will have been in your joining app and I don't need it again. smile

On vampires - I've made my thoughts on the matter clear. I don't see any need to discuss it further.

On abilities - Hm. That's a tricky question.. For the most part, though, I would prefer it if abilities stayed as close to reality as possible. If you have enhanced strength, for example, and you shove your fist into a stone wall there should be a moderately sized dent where the impact was. But it shouldn't bring the whole building down. (Unless it's a really cruddy, shack-like building made from toothpicks)
