;-; so closeNow that I know, I can pronounce it correctly.
it's actually /kʊʃaːɡrə/ (unstressed A at the end) Sometimes I wish I could change my English name to Kushagr because everyone always pronounces the extra A at the end. English sucks. :/
I've always pronounced it /kʊʃɑːɡrɑː/ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English).;-; so close
At least your name isn't like mine, which absolutely NO ONE outside of my family can pronounce.I've always pronounced it /kʊʃɑːɡrɑː/ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English).
According to Caitlin, that is also Afrikaans for "seed moon".At least your name isn't like mine, which absolutely NO ONE outside of my family can pronounce.
I was named by the one that is known as Kim, yet people do not believe me - some think that my name which is known as Hinata is just fake. :(
According to Caitlin, that is also Afrikaans for "seed moon".Don't let that get you down. :)

No, I'm not joking, someone's name was Saad Maan (named by his parents) and he had a news thing going on where he looks so miserable. He really was a Saad Maan.According to Caitlin, that is also Afrikaans for "seed moon".
He did it to himself, you know. I said "rename", not "named by their parents".No, I'm not joking, someone's name was Saad Maan (named by his parents) and he had a news thing going on where he looks so miserable. He really was a Saad Maan.
… someone actually did that?Well there's people called "Herp Derp" so I've pretty much given up on humanity naming their future generations now.
why someone went through the crazy motion of actually renaming themselves to "Optimus Prime"
But it's still Fiction. Nothing's supposed to be believable though, right? I mean, look at all the crazy stories on the internet. They're all fiction, nothing you wouldn't believe to be making sense, but still fantastic.By believable, I don't mean whether or not you know something is fact or fiction. When I said "believable", I meant that the story immerses us so much into the story, it's as if not only have we been transported into the world in question, we're witnessing the story foretold by the piece of fiction first-hand.
*ahem* Code Ment *ahem*Awww yiss

There's a difference between fiction for the sake of fiction and great fiction. Anyone can make the former, but it takes the know-how on how to simulate life effectively in order for someone to create the latter.Still, these characters in the RPG are from all over the place. Pteri's character was beautifully crafted, but then you just had to take the dump out on him because it doesn't work due to Karjamian physics and what not. It's FICTION, it's not supposed to be realistic, if you want a sense of realism try non-fiction then.
I don't want details for the sake of there being details. Even in real life, things always have a reason, even if the thing in question is mundane or the reason behind it small. That, and there are details I want for the game which I don't want anything to contradict. If you have a problem with that, remember, my rulings as the game master are final, no matter how much everyone else complains.
Don't get me wrong, I still want the game to be in the best interest of everyone, but what's the point of spoilering everyone if they're not behaving in a disciplined manner? (Being spoiled is a reward for good behavior, not a right.)
Kim is too stressed at the time, and there is no word on when the Internet of Ginevra will be enabled...Well maybe they'll return when they're in a happier mood?
So are we going to get on with this roleplay or not?When the majority returns (so far, the majority being you and a second player).

You're my wife's daughter :3Wait, so who's your wife then?
Funny thing is, the only one who's even trying to do anything is the resident clown. (No offense...)(http://www.unusualattractions.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/you-dont-say-FB.jpg)
Kim's... not in the right state to be participating at the moment. Ginevra, what happened?
Several things I have to note:(http://i.imgur.com/RN438NX.jpg)
The only way a player character could ever be affiliated with an element within this game is if they're of a race that's affiliated with said element to begin with. As such, the "Element" tag you gave in your character sheet will be ignored when it comes to putting your character into the game. (Besides, the magic system used in this game is based upon the modified version of the one commonly featured within Final Fantasy titles. Therefore, the element you referenced yourself as should be "Time", not "Chrono".)
You can't choose a class just for the sake of choosing a class. I'm only willing to allow you to play as a thief if being a thief is a huge part of your character. If you don't want to play as a class, that's fine. You'd just be classless. (However, if you want to start out being able to wield a weapon other than your bare fists, you'd have to request for said weapon, as Pierre directly did when he asked for a quitar and Kim indirectly did when she decided that her character should favour Rapiers.)
You can't start out with a second Karjamian Dimension Tunnel Device (as you've implied within your biography). You'd either have to start out being with the adventure group (only possible either outside a scenario or near the beginning of it), getting thrown into the world the group's visiting by alternate means or starting out as a native of said world.
Your intelligence stat does a lot more than just determining a character's ability to understand magic. Besides, even if they could, that does not mean they automatically have the ability to use it. They would also need the relevant Gift, something only Mages, Healers and Keyblade Wielders have by default.
Oh so this Quinton person and Alexis's boyfriend are one and the same?So far I know, yeah.
Going by Alexis' most recent posts, Quinton forgot to pay an Internet bill?Oh so this Quinton person and Alexis's boyfriend are one and the same?
Funny thing is, the only one who's even trying to do anything is the resident clown. (No offense...)I'm sure she's busy, as are everyone else.
Kim's... not in the right state to be participating at the moment. Ginevra, what happened?
I have the right idea with my post, right?Well I hope our dear founder returns soon. I'm sure she was looking foreward to roleplaying with us all.
(Kim is currently incapacitated due to collapsing from stress regarding the whole issue that hit this forum and Vresun, though…)
(http://i.imgur.com/6MmRDge.png)A gummy cube? Looks tasty.
I wonder what this is.
… I mistook it for a soldiery outfit. Camouflage thing.Eh. Don't feel bad. I thought that red thing was a lollipop. Looked real good.
The name of a hypothetical game I might make in the future. It's named after its player character.… I mistook it for a soldiery outfit. Camouflage thing.
(And no, that's not Soldier Hatchet. As far as I know, he doesn't wear green checkered trousers, a black top and a clown nose.)
Soldier Hatchet?What? I don't know what that is.
Dear sir! You and Shane are not useless!Let's see...
I can't afford to not be cordial. I'm the Game Master.What about being cordial with other stuff? Like…
Then again, I'm some useless piece of **** on the internet so not like it matters anyhow.* gives you chocolate potatoes *
Richard takes his religion seriously; that, and he'd probably be very uncomfortable with a demonic character (even if it's only 1% demon 99% human).Alright, point taken.
Hence, I hereby hug everyone and inflict 0d20 points of hug-elemental damage.
You should've let that be an opportunity to create a better character instead, Kushagra. The attitude you're displaying towards being denied of your ideas is not what most companies would approve of. In fact, the attitude you showed me will actually get you fired from your job.This isn't a company. I know what it's like to be in a "company" situation. Then again, I'm some useless piece of **** on the internet so not like it matters anyhow.
I'm kicking you out of the game, Kushagra. The game will now go on without you.
I'll now see if I can get the main game up and coming, but don't expect it to come instant (nor within a single day).
...Perhaps you should've developed your character more instead of switching classes.Karjam, that's literally what you forced me to do. You said my Tiefling character wasn't good enough so I got pretty disappointed because of that and make a human character (which I thought was extremely horrible but since you wouldn't allow me Tiefling...)
I know keyblades aren't weapons that anyone could simply wield. I only had that class there as a concession since I know most of the people here are fans of that series. But even then, the one that did pick the Keyblade Wielder class had a decency to give an explanation as to why they can wield the keyblade. Switching to such elusive class while changing little else about your seeming generic character implies to me that you're too lazy to even put in the effort to properly develop your character. Heck, even your tiefling character was better than this!
If you're not willing to put in the effort in spite of the constraints I'm giving you, I'm afraid I'll have to kick you out of the game. I want a simulation of life, not someone who games the system.
Would a class change do, then? I've switched her over to Keyblade Wielder.
I aim for believably in my works. How could something be unbelievable if there's little reason for improbable traits?My apologies, I of all people should remember that the game master's word is final. I'll wait.
An assassin with colorblindness and low blood pressure. No offense, but the faults you've chosen would actually get in the way of your job, especially the latter.Or you let him keep his character and see where that goes. Though if you disapprove, that is your decision as game master.
I suggest that you pick faults that are more believable for your class, or at least give a believable justification. After all, you're supposed to be pretending you're them.
Are you sure really want him in? After the way he's behaved today? Then again, you're the game master. Your word is final.Just because he seems to be acting bitter towards you doesn't mean I'm going to let that effect his participation within the game. What happens in the game happens there, not here.
He has the right to an attorney. Anything he says can and will be used against him in a chocolate factory, and made into chocolate.Well if waiting means I get to Roleplay with you, I can wait. :)
That said, they say patience is a virtue, yes?
When Kushagra decides on his character.Are you sure really want him in? After the way he's behaved today? Then again, you're the game master. Your word is final.
So when do we actually start the game? I really want to get on this adventure.
Not really so sure about allowing a player character to be a half demon.Aww. I even changed all of the faults so they would comply with your rules...
...Remember when I said, "You're only allowed to play another race with my permission?" Well, I'm denying you permission. Perhaps if you were to play as a more light-hearted devil, maybe, but I wouldn't allow something as dark as a tiefling to be a player character.
Fixed application then:Do you seriously want to play as a half demon? We're not really playing Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder...
NAME: Sofferenza
BIO: A Tiefling of the result of many generations of Human and Demon mating, Soffrenza was cast down in society. Having no place to go, she was forced to work in gangs and other mercenary-styled jobs, increasing her survival skills and such. On one particular mission, she found a group of "travellers", and deciding to investigate the matter, she ended up joining them, betraying her Mafia members.
ATTRIBUTES:
Strength: Superb
Intelligence: Good
Constitution: Great
Agility: Good
CLASS: Soldier
FAULTS:
[Photophobia] She's absolutely terrified of bright lights.
[Commitment Issues] Can't be trusted that easily. She literally left multiple gangs, mafias and mobs just to join the next. Even this traveller group.
[Adrenaline and Hot Headedness] She takes lots of dangerous risks, many of which usually disobey orders and nearly get her killed. She's also incredibly hot-headed and gets mad easily.
[Insanity] At times she can go insane and completely lose all sense of control and rational thought.
[Paranoia] Due to struggles as a kid, she gets paranoid far too easily and will pull the trigger on just about anything if she's paranoid.
Six points?
I suppose making all attributes "great" would work, then?
However, I will, instead, just add 1 attribute level to each attribute (leaving 2 levels remaining).
Will those attribute levels be lost, or will unused ones serve a purpose later?
I won't mind if you move my character when I cannot.
I list them for the sake of answering possible questions ahead of time, I guess. (In case appearance plays a factor in the future. One can never be too careful.)
My post has been updated.
Maybe.Six points?
Incidentally, you list "Fear of the dark and Heartless", "Hatred of [a group of beings]" and "believes those who use poison as evil" as things of your character, right? I'll allow you to take those as faults, giving you a neat six levels of character levels to spend on your character. (Take note that they're highly likely to become relevant in a given game session, so keep that in mind.)
Lastly, I suggest you only join if you're willing to dedicate time to the game. I can't have a person standing idle for many rounds when the others want to move on to the next area. Of course, if you want, I could simply just move your character for you should others want to do so, although keep in mind you might lose progress within the area you've been visiting if you were trying to do something. (The same goes for the other player characters, not just Anesia).
Incidentally, you do know "Relatives" and "Appearances" are optional, right? In fact, they're not even listed in the original post as a requirement for your bio. To be precise, they're not listed at all.
I suppose I might as well join, in hopes of having something to do.Maybe.
NAME: Anesia Memoré
BIO:
A half-human girl from Amnesiac City in the World That Was Forgotten (http://vresunciraianruins.proboards.com/thread/1646/world-forgotten). Her favorite weapon is a rapier, though she considers staves a second-favorite weapon.
She suffers from amnesia and is afraid of the dark and Heartless, but wishing to regain her memory fills her with plenty of determination. It is for this reason that she chose to join a group of travelers, though she worries that they might be Heartless in disguise.
She absolutely detests magpies, ravens, crows, phoenixes, chocolates, onions, garlic and wombats. She believes people who use poison are pure evil.
RELATIVES:
They all fell into Memory's Abyss, according to a girl named Eliza.
APPEARANCE:
Anesia has long green hair and azure eyes. She has fair skin. She has a scar over her left arm that constantly hurts in the presence of Heartless; she wears a bandage to hide the scar. She wears a red dress, black knee-high socks, and red, toeless ankle boots. She wears a light red cape. For some reason, she wears a necklace around her neck with a blue-and-white version of the Heartless emblem.
ATTRIBUTES:
Strength: average
Intelligence: good
Constitution: good
Agility: average
CLASS: Mage
Will this suffice? Or are there some changes to make?
(For the curious: "Anesia" comes from "amnesia", and "Memoré" comes from "memory".)
Does that include literally dropping in because of a teleporation accident?
So if I read correctly, Faults allow for more points, am I right? I gave her pretty heavy flaws for the attribute points. If not allowed, I'll fix it.Faults inherent in being of a certain race don't count as faults within the context of creating a character. I would suggest that you replace the first two faults if you want to keep your power levels as-is.

ATTRIBUTES: Terrible, Poor, Mediocre, Average, Good, Great, Superb
Strength: Superb
Intelligence: Good
Constitution: Great
Agility: Average
CLASS: Soldier
FAULTS:
-As a tiefling, she's usually considered to be "taboo" due to being a human with demon blood. (Cast down in Society)
-Vulnerable to Water attacks due to having an Infernal Demon's blood.
-Gets paranoid WAY too easily. The slightest thing could cause her to pull the trigger. (Caused due to struggles as a kid)
-Can't be trusted that easily. She literally left multiple gangs, mafias and mobs just to join the next. Even this traveller group.
They're welcome to do so. In fact, I'm planning on keeping this thread opened even after the game itself has started in case someone wants to join in. (They may need a flimsy excuse for suddenly dropping in should their appearance at a given time seem improbable, an excuse I have to make.)Does that include literally dropping in because of a teleporation accident?
Uh... Of course. So will anyone else be joining us three?They're welcome to do so. In fact, I'm planning on keeping this thread opened even after the game itself has started in case someone wants to join in. (They may need a flimsy excuse for suddenly dropping in should their appearance at a given time semm improbable, an excuse I have to make.)
You do remember that you're supposed to be a band of adventurers, right? It's right there in the sign up post. If you do go to the English town of Scarborough, trouble would most likely find you there anyway.Uh... Of course. So will anyone else be joining us three?
Alright, then. Perhaps you should decide on where "somewhere pleasant" is. The device that would allow you to jump dimensions would refuse to answer to something that vague (or at least, not in the way you'd expect...)Somewhere like Scarborough. I've heard that's a good place to be in the summer.
There we go.Alright.
There's nothing wrong with adding backstory flair. In fact, the rules encourage it somewhat. The reason you give might work in the long-run, but in the meantime...
All we're waiting for now is for Kushagra to finish his characters. In the meantime, I suggest you should talk and come up with the world you want to start in.
Starting Keyblade's Starlight. (Incidentally, the Kingdom Key D is actually a Keyblade of Darkness, not a Keyblade of Light. It's the only known Keyblade to be so.)Alright.
Also, I recommend you only give backstory information that's relevant to the game. As far as I know, details such as your relatives wouldn't be relevant to a game that involves traveling between universe (as in, a more literal definition of that word. No, it's not one universe compromising of several worlds a la Kingdom Hearts). Although optional, I also recommend that you add details explaining how you got to be working with the rest of the team.Regarding Quinton, that was just in case other versions of him appeared. (Or someone requires info on Ginevra's relatives. Not that there are a lot left; just her brother and herself.)
About your attributes: You've sold two attribute levels and brought two more. Since those two cancel each other out, giving you have two more attribute levels to spend. In addition, you've mentioned "Gasmasks" and "Hazmat suits" being something your character fears. In terms of Fudge mechanics, that would be a fault in its own right (and thus, will be featured within the game at least some of the time). Each fault also grants 2 free attribute points to spend. Therefore, you now have four levels in total you can spend on improving your attributes.… So, four attribute points.
From what I can tell, I'll be a support unit. Which suits me just fine.
...Well that sounds a lot more advantageous than I thought it'd be.
NAME:Starting Keyblade's Starlight. (Incidentally, the Kingdom Key D is actually a Keyblade of Darkness, not a Keyblade of Light. It's the only known Keyblade to be so.)
Ginevra Wolfhart
BIO / OTHER INFO:
A human girl from Earth who was badly injured by beings of Darkness, when she awoke her ability to control Light. Summoning a Keyblade forged from this light, she managed to defeat her attackers, though afterwards she fainted.
She woke up in a hospital of an unknown place, and chose to learn more about her gift. She has a major fear of gas masks and hazmat suits, though she will wear those if it's the only thing keeping her from death (as she has an even worse fear of death).
She considers "Fragments of Sorrow" as one of her most favorite Kingdom Hearts battle themes, along with Forgotten Challenge.
RELATIVES:
She has an older brother named Quinton, though little is known about him. Their parents are deceased.
APPEARANCE:
Ginevra has short black hair and pure blue eyes. She has fair skin. She generally wears a black cloak with black gloves, black tights and black high-heeled boots; under the cloak, she wears a black skirt and a black long-sleeved shirt.
ATTRIBUTES:
Strength: Mediocre
Intelligence: Good
Constitution: Mediocre
Agility: Good
CLASS:
Keyblade Wielder
Goofy (Kingdom Hearts version, at least) uses a shield to attack, so it makes sense for a shield to be a weapon.
So, is this okay? Do I still have an "attribute point" or two to spend?
(If one, then Agility. If two, then both Agility and Intelligence.)
…
I'm assuming that her starting weapon is either a Kingdom Key (http://www.khwiki.com/Kingdom_Key), a Kingdom Key D (http://www.khwiki.com/Kingdom_Key_D) or a Starlight (http://www.khwiki.com/Starlight)… or is it going to be a Wooden Keyblade (http://www.khwiki.com/Wooden_Keyblade)? :P
Looks interesting. I have a few questions before I make a list though:
1. Is it okay if I use a character that I've made before, but haven't used in any work of fiction yet?
2. What weapon category would Sickles fall under? (referring to the above mentioned character)
3. Are Sprites (http://spiderwick.wikia.com/wiki/Sprite) allowed as a race? (again, referring to above mentioned character)
I see roleplay potential...From what I can tell, I'll be a support unit. Which suits me just fine.
Alright, You're allowed a guitar as a weapon. To compensate, your "Staff Proficiency" has been replaced with "Guitar Proficiency (Weaponized)". I think I'll allow you a "Music" skill as well.
(Incidentally, you DO know you've essentially sold an attribute level, right? That means you can now improve your other attributes by up to three levels instead of two.)
