Besides the ones in the very begining, most sin spawns were bosses...

Bite the Wax Tadpole 02-22-2004 09:57 PM

Well, if I'm reading it correctly, the tentacle is the true sinspawn, the rest are just those little filler types that you have to deal with...and I like the rougue Al-Bhed idea for Dante, cuz unless one of you wants to die, the two summoners-one group would be awkward.

Biran 02-24-2004 09:19 PM

(Sorry ahead of time for bumping.)

There's been too many OOC posts. Talk here.

Mr. Viewtiful 02-24-2004 09:49 PM

Agreed, Biran.

Anyways, I can volunteer my guy (Drake the human dragoon!) for the "guardian who always hides in the tree making sure the summoner doesn't get killed" part-time, seeing as his proficiency at jumping all over the place while keeping quiet.

We should let Ripel and Raine (appear to) have an alone moment, because I think they gots a plan, and we'd be pretty unfair players if we didn't let them do it...

IHateMakingNames 02-24-2004 09:51 PM

If it's of any importance, Celes will force us to.

If not, tough.

Truce 02-24-2004 09:53 PM

Nah. I always have backups.

Hmm, I guess then I sign up for the "ever present and nearby but not hiding guy" role, since your guy is more like Khimari, and my guy is more like Auron...

IHateMakingNames 02-24-2004 10:01 PM

My guy will be a mix of both... If Raine wants to think or something, Rei will hide but still be near. If not, he will obviously be near...

We sound like abunch of stalkers, don't we? *snicker*

And when I mentioned my guy was perched on a higher floor, I meant he was on top of the cabin or sumthin'. Flying...sounds good, but...no.

IHateMakingNames 02-25-2004 01:44 AM

This has absolutely nothing to do with this RP.

Join krylo's RP. It's the Destrution one. Discussion thread is the Rebirth of Destruction Discussion thread. Original thread with sign up info is called Rebirth of Destruction Sign-up/Discussion, read first and second post.

You can't be a mage/pscionic, but you can be my slave if you like.

Squishy Cheeks 02-25-2004 06:22 AM

My guy will be the mostly nearby guy, e.g. wakka

Darth SS 02-28-2004 12:33 AM

*zap* LIVE THREAD, LIVE!

Yes, it's a late comer. That's been mostly approved by CJ.

Name: Uran
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Job: Trainer of sorts...
Place of birth: ???
Blitzer?: No
Short Bio: He was a random kid, slightly more empathetical than everyone else, but still pretty tame. Then he stumbled one a clutch of tiny eggs, and started looking after them. They hatched into miniature dragons. Ten of them. That formed a psychic link with him. Now 19, they're still there. All 10. They're exactly like dragons, but only the size of his forearm. And they can teleport. They've proven invaluable for Uran. And he wanders whenever he feels the need. It's been the story of his life.
Appearance: Remember what Sam dressed like in Fellowship? Basically that (no cloak) just not as fancy. His shortsword is there too.
Equipment: Food for his firelizards, and all that good stuff.
Extra: His lizards almost act as an extension of himself. And he wuvs them soo much.

IHateMakingNames 02-28-2004 12:36 AM

Teleporting seems like a bit much for ten small dragons.

Darth SS 02-28-2004 12:40 AM

Well, it's like 15'. And they can't port me.

Also, it's mostly so my guy can be really lazy.
"Would ya' fetch me that carrot?"
*Bazing**bazing*
"Thank you."

Also, I have decided my guy can...COOK. And possibly Garden.

IHateMakingNames 02-28-2004 12:41 AM

I really doubt it's mostly for your guy since he is 'lazy', and will not be used at all in fights...

Darth SS 02-28-2004 12:43 AM

Well, for fights it's so they can pop into guy's faces, scratch them, then get out. Mostly to pester, so the others gather, and toast him.

Squishy Cheeks 02-28-2004 08:05 AM

I agree. Use an ability in the game, we all did. You shouldn't get a better ability just cause you feel like it. besides the dragons in FFX are essntially fire breathing komodos

Bite the Wax Tadpole 02-28-2004 11:47 AM

Just pick one animal, ten teleporting fire breathing dragons sounds a tad much...unless your on Ripel's side...

Mr. Viewtiful 02-28-2004 04:48 PM

I could see Drake getting along with this guy, seeing that Dragoons like non-hostile dragons...that's how he learned Fire Breath, after all :D

And my guy is a human dragoon, which (correct me if I'm wrong) wasn't in FFX. I don't see anything wrong with SS's guy...except maybe teleporting, but that ain't my decision to make.

Teleporting lizards actually seems pretty cool...I like it ;)

Forever Zero 02-28-2004 05:14 PM

No, but there were still dragoon type people/abilities, so you character isn't that far off from standard FF type classes. SS's char doesn't apply to ANY FF class I know about... And don't quote the Animal Tamer style classes, because they had to tame monsters the enountered, and could only have one or two at a time, and because then I'm going to say, you have ten teleporting dragons. Nuff said in the overpowered department...

I agree with Jad, just pick a game ability, everyone else did, so can you.

Biran 02-28-2004 05:19 PM

If I was SS, I would make the amount of dragons 2 or 3, and cut the telepathic link and teleporting stuff. Then again, Celes should be the one to finalize this.

Darth SS 02-28-2004 11:03 PM

Was just talking to Celes, and the current changes have been made.

10 is gone.

He now has 7 (lucky number)

You seem to forget...THEY'RE THE SIZE OF HIS FOREARM. And he's not the biggest guy, so...

He's not gonna' be running aruond swinging massive dragon legions around. He's got 7 Fire Lizards (which are a dying race. Kudos to CJ for that) that follow him around.

IHateMakingNames 02-28-2004 11:06 PM

Do they still teleport and telepathic link?

Darth SS 02-28-2004 11:12 PM

Yes.

I'll trim the teleport ranger down to 10' (These are based on the guys from Dragonsong, and I've actually toned them down a lot in comparison to that)

And the telepathic link is kinda' subconscious. He'll say get me some spearmint, and the dragon will know from him where it is. This isn't shooting messages and stuff.

IHateMakingNames 02-28-2004 11:14 PM

A couple of those seven little dragons would probably die (Even though they can telelport, though I've never heard of teleporting dragons). Large numbers+weak things = Dead things.

Edit - Though I doubt that will happen to your little dragons, since they seem so special...

Bite the Wax Tadpole 02-28-2004 11:36 PM

Well, as long as they don't pull a Voltron...and assuming their fire breath was reletively relative to their size (meaning no flamethrowers from a single one)...I could see it, but what side are you joining...and how are you joining (the current 'good' group is kinda hard to befriend)

Forever Zero 02-28-2004 11:44 PM

That is because the current 'good' group is higly suspicious of Ripel, and practically everyone not in the 'good' group now has a link to Ripel, so it might be best to join the other group SS...

Truce 02-29-2004 01:48 AM

I find it funny that they're so suspicious of little ol' Ripel. Drake, for example, has jumped the gun and even claimed that he heard Ripel say he had a plan for Raine, which he had just imagined. That was after spying on him as well. Tsk tsk. :D

Bite the Wax Tadpole 02-29-2004 09:12 AM

I think SS is joining Raine's group...although I think the scene will go like this

SS: *Bumps into Raine* Oops, sorry, I have 7 dragons.
Raine: Oh hi, how are you-
Every Guardian: KILL!

Squishy Cheeks 02-29-2004 09:18 AM

We aren't that bad if you don't show a suspect ammount of interest in our summoner.

IHateMakingNames 02-29-2004 11:48 AM

Basically, if you don't argue with the guardians, then next day act happy, then mention things about the summoner that were never mentioned before and you had just met her, then summon dark aeons, then try to get the summoner alone, us guardians might not be as suspicious towards you.

Forever Zero 02-29-2004 11:51 AM

Don't forget happily mentioning the arrival of Sinspawn when normally no one would know they were coming until they arrived...

Squishy Cheeks 02-29-2004 11:58 AM

Are you saying if somebody out of the blue came up to a girl in your life and casually mentioned something he had no business knowing you wouldn't be suspicious of them.

Mr. Viewtiful 02-29-2004 01:13 PM

Ecurt-I'm just being in-character. Anything wrong with that? And, lookee here:

Which is what Ripel spoke to a certain Zeta, which replied:

All of this Drake could hear from his perch on the rooftop. So, since Ripel is a suspicious character, he obviously would jummp the gun, but he has a good reason to.

Truce 02-29-2004 02:56 PM

First off, your character cannot speak Al Bhed (as far as I can recall), which is why they were speaking in that language. Your character would not have known what they were talking about. Nor did it specifically say that the girl had to do something with the Besaid thing (which, in truth, she hadn't truly been).

Anyway, I did do that to a girl once (tell her things she thought I couldn't have known, pretending I was all mystic and stuff). She then kept asking me how I knew or who told until I said I went to elementary school with her a few grades (we hadn't seen eachother for years, and I almost didn't remember myself). It was funny. of course, you haven't even questioned Ripel on how he knows, so you're all still making assumptions.

Besides, all he has revealed was that he knew where Raine was from, right (honestly, I can't remember)? It's not exactly that hard, Summoner's are often talked about and all.

Anyway. He also never specifically asked her to go with him to somewhere alone, and once off the boat he did not pester any of you guys. Also, what's a suspect amount of interest? Talking with someone? Trying to help him or her have fun?

I'll admit, the mentioning of the Sinspawn was suspicious, and Ripel is a suspicious person. I'm not saying you shouldn't be hesitant, I'm simply saying that I find it funny they're all so hostile.

Forever Zero 02-29-2004 03:04 PM

Our characters are Guardians, it's our job to be overprotective. And it's probably increased by the fact that in the guardians eyes, Raine is acting naive when Ripel has been highly suspicious, so the sense that they are the only things protecting her from him is just multiplied.

IHateMakingNames 02-29-2004 03:13 PM

He can't speak Al-Bhed, but what Ripel said isn't the important part, but what Zita said back to Ripel.

I forgot, but I'm pretty sure you mentioned her mother or something.

And your guy acts to happy, and that is always suspecious. Especially since he goes from happy to serious back to happy randomly.

And let's not forgot about how he was 'admiring' new summoners, then never mentioned that he is a summoner before the time he summoned the dark Valefor.

And the rest is out of RP, since we all know Ripel is going to die and is one big contradiction and is going to try to do something to Raine.

Truce 02-29-2004 03:32 PM

Zita. He never did say Raine had to do anything with the plan, he just happened to ask about Raine before mentioning the business in Besaid. Drake just assumed that the things were connected.

The mother...of course. Yeah, that's right. He was thinking in his head at the time I believe, so of course they knew about that.

Contradiction to FFX? Heh, I doubt it. I don't like doing things unless they can reasonably be explained (Quiet Mr. V! I know what you're going to say, and real life does not count in here). Oh, and I said he'll probably die, but remember he won't go down without a fight. He may end up killing a few other PCs, and probably the ones who piss him off.

As for the summon...yes, that was suspicious, though noone's asked about that yet, except if he was a summoner, and he replied he wasn't on a pilgrimage. As for the admiring of summoners, everybody does that, afterall, people do support those who they believe would be their saviours.

FZ-Yup. I pretty much understand that. Still, they haven't really been direct with their questions to Ripel. I'd expect at least one of them to try and interrogate him.

IHateMakingNames 02-29-2004 03:33 PM

I'm pretty sure some one did ask you, and the question was ignored...

Edit - And I still suspect contradiction from the dark aeon, seeing as even Seymour didn't summon 'dark' versions of other aeons.

Truce 02-29-2004 03:43 PM

Ask me? Hmm, well, I forgot about it then. I'm pretty sure only Raine asked me about him being a summoner.

As for the Dark Aeon summoning, I've got an explanation for that for later. I will tell you that it's not contradicting FFX in any way.

Forever Zero 02-29-2004 03:44 PM

The trick about killing PCs is we can always be revived later... Where as villians can not... Oh, and even if you kill us, as long as our character's spirits are strong enough, we'll just come back to life, we'll just be undead after that...

Mr. Viewtiful 02-29-2004 03:46 PM

Let's just hope your explanations make sense here...in real life, they're so confusing I don't even pay attention half of the time :D

And jumping to conclusions about Ripel summoning and being a summoner...well, that's to be expected, now, isn't it?

IHateMakingNames 02-29-2004 03:47 PM

Just because you have an explanation doesn't mean it is right. You may have forgotten some things, not known some things, or just have it wrong all together...

CelesJessa 02-29-2004 03:50 PM

(I made a new thread for the discussion, since this one is getting full) Just FYI.
