Doublehex Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/CiAlFo/CiAlFo_underground.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [CENTER][B]So, the Underground thread has been posted at last! Finally, a chance for me to explain a little bit about just what the heck is going to happen in this little epic of ours! Well, first, we are going to start off with a prologue, ?Three months to purgatory?. Pretty much, it is three months before the final exam, and the whole last year class is in a nervous wreck preparing for it. Because, come on, let?s face it, who wouldn?t be? You were separated from your parents round six or seven, most likely to never to see them again, and were pretty much told, in one way or another, every day that if you did not pass the exam THIS ONE TIME you will never be the warrior you were trained the past twelve years to be. So, this prologue is just us getting our characters to know the other characters. I would prefer it if everyone interacts with mostly everyone, or at the least half! After the prologue, we?ll enter Chapter One, which is pretty much the trials and the final exam. In the trial, you will have to face off against something. If you win, you will be allowed into the final exam. If you lose, you?ll get to try again as many times as you want with a one hour intervention for your character. That is, if you write it that your character loses. Oh, and also, if you don?t write for like a month, I?m writing you out. ;) So, talk amongst yourselves who you want to be your friends, people you could care less about, and who's gut you hate more than anything! Enjoy.

Sandy Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 [B]Question:[/B] why aren't the students allowed to keep contact to their families? In my sign-up, I mentioned visits from my character's father, and her speaking with him over "a communicator". Isn't that alright? Also, I would very much like if we could explore the school-life a bit more, let the relationships really build up and stuff before the Final Exam. And isn't it correct that not all of our characters are at the age of taking part to the exam? Wasn't it supposed to be in the year you turn 18? These are just a few questions I have...

Doublehex Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 -I said [I]most likely[/I]. I never said you can't keep ties. I thought that if these kids barely ever see their parents, it would add to the tragedy of the teenage mercenary. -The Prologue is going to be a fair amount of pages, so hopefully you should have all that time you need to explore school life. -Yes, everyone by the time of the Trial should be 18, or close to it (all those who aren't change your age ASAP!).

Tekkaman Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 [font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]I agree with [b][i][u]Sandy[/u][/i][/b] on the [b][i]'exploring school'[/i][/b] bit. I'd be nice to actually explore the school and talk to the characters and teammates some during the course of our stay. [b][i][u]But[/u][/i][/b], knowing you, [b][i][u]DH[/u][/i][/b], you problably have something cooked up for that occasion; so I wont worry to much. I still thought, however, that the point should be raised [b][i]and seconded[/i][/b].[/size][/font] [font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i][b]Edit:[/b][/i] Excuse me for this post [b][i][u]DH[/u][/i][/b], as you've already answered the point that I was making. :animeswea [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublehex Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 I believe I need to remind people how magic is done in this game. Magic is exploited through crystals called magi. There really isn't any hand motions or incantations. Rather, you just exploit the power hidden withing the crystals. Just thought that I'd clear things up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 [COLOR=Navy]Oops, I feel that's pointed toward me ^^; I editted that out, but left the twirling thing because I kinda like it, but if you don't want it I'll take that out too. I just have a liking to motions and incantations, makes it more fun for me >< Any how. Just for more clear up. It's Sakura for both. Username = Sakura. Character = Sakura. All good! Can't wait for this to start ^__^[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublehex Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 I'm just going to say, if anyone would like to discuss any relationship possibilities (friendly or bad) with my character, send me a PM or add me to your AIM or MSN and we'll talk. EDIT: Also, what should we do for Abel's character? He's gone until the sixth of August, and by then I would think thatwe will be nearly done with the Prologue (unless we do only like one post a day...then we'll be here for a month ><), so I was wondering what should we do about it? As most of you probably don't know, I subscribe to John Four's Roleplaying Tips newsletter. Well, lately he has been running a series of guest articles relating of how to make magic interesting in D&D games, but I personally think the advice shoudl be listened here as well, since magic plays such an important role here.

ArgentEagle Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I don't mean any offense, but I don't really have anything to comment about that Doublehex. I just wanted to say that if anybody wanted to be friends with my person okay, if not, then I would like it if you didn't like make him... a enemy or something.

ArgentEagle Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I didn't have anything to comment about the article. Yeah, unless it's an RP post, I'm not very good at when I try to express what I mean in a post. And about the character request, I tired to talk to you on AIM, but you logged out a minute after I sent the IM so you must not have gotten it. o.o; weird.

TheResplendent Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I didn't read the article yet but to comment on Abel's character, i can take responsibility for getting him into the story if it's ok with you. I'm holding off my next post till a little later, but i can toss him in there and then set it up for someone else to continue it with their character. Going from his sign-up sheet i'm sure it will be easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublehex Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Permission granted. He's going to be gone for a bit, so as long as you don't god mod him [I]too[/I] much I'm sure it will be all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcus Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 [SIZE=1]Hey guys, I managed to snag a computer for a bit, so I got on as fast as I could. In reference to my character, any interaction with him is a-o-k from any character, and feel free to control him as you see fit, so long as his personality is taken into account. I'll be posting once today, and hopefully when we get into a hotel, there'll be a computer, in which case I'll try and post as often as possible. Thank you mucho, Doublehex, for keeping my character in the RPG even with me being gone for this time. I really appreciate it. ^.^[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheResplendent Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'll wait for your post then Abel, and i'll just play off of whatever you put down character wise. Hope you can get back by the end of the exams at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcus Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 [SIZE=1]I hope I can get back by the end of exams as well. And yup, Doublehex, I'm on vacation in New York [currently I'm in PA].

Doublehex Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 I planned to keep the Prologue up for at least a week...the everyone has to do the Trial, THEN there is the exam. That should ample time for you to return, right? EDIT: *sniff* Okay, I just had to comment on Kitty's post concernign her and Alex. It made me feel so good inside, especially after the way Laz made Alex felt in the library. You guys have got to agree with me on this! EDIT2: I decided to take it upon myself to clear some things up with how the posts are arranged. Posts 1 ? 11, 14 : Start late at night on Day 0, End in mid morning on day 1. Posts 15, 12-13 : Deals with events in the infirmiary. Ends with Alex going to library Posts 16 ? 21 , 25 : Starts in early afternoon and ends in mid afternoon. Posts 23: Leads to post 22 Post 22: Ends in mid afternoon. Post 24, 29, and 26: same time at post 22. Post 23: Picks up from posts 12-13, ends with Post 26. Mid afternoon.

ArgentEagle Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I need some help.

Doublehex Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I will appreciate it if everyone who is currentley still in the day would get their characters to be ASAP so that we can ALL start on the new day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I second Acheron's idea to implement [B]the clock[/B] in the beginning of our posts. If not specific hour and minute, then at least something in the lines of "Day 1, late afternoon". That way we can avoid all that confusion as to what time it is, and if somebody wants to return to past events (because this game is moving really fast), they can do so without worries of further mixing things up. Do I hear any agreements or objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublehex Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I was actually thinking about that...for at least the Prologue. It should not be needed in the next couple of chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheResplendent Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Sounds good to me. I was thinking about doing a few flashback posts which i would pinpoint by labeling it as such. So as long as people put down when and where they are RPing most of the time there shouldn't be any confusion. Though my flashbacks would be of Kyo and his father, so it wouldn't really impede the current time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Another thing that confuses me are the Instructors and other staff of the school, so I'm collecting a list of them here. [U][B]Academy Faculty (in the order of appearance):[/B][/U] Instructor [B]Aki[/B] teaches the use of Magi (?) Instructor [B]Merele Shandala[/B] teaches Elemental and Support magic Professor [B]Mox[/B] teaches Black Magic Instructor [B]Cavalier[/B] teaches weapon training Nurse [B]Mallon[/B] runs the infirmary Instructor [B]Uzume[/B] teaches Summoning Magic Headmaster [B]Enteri[/B] runs the Academy Instructor [B]Andrews[/B] teaches Blue Magic Instructor [B]Atsu[/B] teaches Fire Magic Instructor [B]Phoenix[/B] teaches Support Magic If I missed anybody, do tell. It would be good if we updated this list as new names came, so that we don't all use different sets of Instructors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
