Hah... I don't have a trademark. I'm versatile, and refuse to be type-cast... because I'm just that cool.

Bad-ass demon isn't my trademark. I've done it twice. That really isn't a trade mark.

I guess thats the one of the few good things about being new around here. No one can type cast me yet. But I am pretty sure it would happen later down the road...

Ok, I'm thinkin of starting this around Wednesday, but If I come back and its fifteen pages long, I'm makin some post restrictions (which only really affect people who post constantly, like IHMN and Jad)...so get alliances set or whatever. Or whatever, the mods don't check this forum anyway.

Man I need an alliance then. Anybody wish to Allign with me because well I really think I could be a good ally...

I know my guy is definately gonna be a loner, seeing as how he's an assassin and all.

That and he's blind and uses arrows. I think he'd have to be a loner... what psycho would walk around with a blind guy using projectiles?

And I don't really care if my character ends up 'escorting' anyone to the tournament... but don't expect him to be 'allied' with you in the actual fights.

To be fair, he has a sword as well.

And my guy could be with any of you. No one will know he is a half-demon, people would just assume he is a really strong human who really likes blue drinks, and he would 'guard' or 'escort' people to the city of the tournament.

I'm getting alot of kicks out of making you people paranoid.

I don't think you're actually making anyone paranoid... it's just too easy to take pot-shots a blind guy with a bow and arrow. We all know you have the daredevil sense thing, which is, apparently, even better than normal sight in some ways... looking at the comics and stuff.
Plus... ICily most people wouldn't really see a guy with no eyes whipping out a bow and think "Oh, it's ok, he has daredevil senses" they'd think, "What the hell? He doesn't have eyes!"

That just makes it more fun!

Wee, I talked with BMHadoken over AIM and he's gonna allow me to join! Yay!


Name: Demios
Age: 27
Race: Half-demon
Blood type: B (*shrugs*)
Class: Rider/Guide (BM said I could do this, nyah, losers with crappy classes)
Weapon and Equipment: A long sword for close combat, a blue jacket which reaches down to his thighs which provides some light armor, since he puts small metal plates in the vital places, a chocobo which he's extremely good at riding, and a canteen
Appearance: Black hair, a tanned face and red eyes in the middle, but bluish around it. A sword at his waist, and the canteen on the other side. A blue jacket which he wears un-buttoned, and a white sweat shirt, often covered in a lot of dust. Big, black spikes spurt out of his back, ripping from his jacket and sweat shirt. They go down to his waist, and start below his neck. Pants are simple jeans-ish type, and there are more spikes coming out on the lower part of his arms, going from his elbow down to his wrist. He wears long gloves, which go up to his elbows, but the spikes rip right through.
Summon: Void, the protector of those cursed by being a half demon. Weilds a rapier and wears a large, black cloak. Hair goes into a long ponytail.
Bio: Born as a child of evil, born as a cursed blood, the priest of his village wanted to kill him. Even his own mother wished for the spiked back and spiked arm child to die. It would be in the name of law and good. But good luck for the child passed, as a bunch of rogue chocobo riders came and raided the village, killing all but the child. Since the rogues had no care for looks, one had noticed a baby, obviously born recently. The rogue saw potential in this one, so he took the child back to the camp, where he raised him for five years, teaching him about chocobos and such. Unfortunately, the chocobo rider accidently forgot the five year old at a town which they had raided one day, and the survivors of the town blamed the cursed half demon of the destruction. From the start, Demios was hated and driven away to the great plains, where little lived. (Kinda like the calm lands in FFX.) There he found a new chocobo and began riding it, further increasing his riding skill. Eventually, he found he could become a guide for people travelling lightly, merely putting them on his chocobo and ride it to wherever they wanted to go. It was a pretty simple buisness, even though most of his customers felt at unease with their guide, they always turned out fine. Whenever they would reach their location, Demios set up a new ad in the town that he was at. But unfortunately for Demios, he was hated because of his blood and learned that all humans are cruel, even if they provide money. He loves to show off his spikes though, to annoy and scare humans and other races, since he finds no other use for them.
Quote: "Oh, you're looking at my spikes funny, huh? Well, how about you seem up nice and close! *walks up to the table where the person's sitting and rubs the spikes on the edges of the table*"

How exactly would people be given rides on the back of a chocobo riden by a guy with large back spikes? Wouldn't they be impladed by the spikes?

Quote:

IHMN- How exactly would people be given rides on the back of a chocobo riden by a guy with large back spikes? Wouldn't they be impladed by the spikes?

Yeah I was just thinking that... So still I am all alone still?

Stop being so anal all the time, they're not lances.

It's a legit question. Anal would be more of question how his shirt and sweatshirt stays on with a ripped up back.

Oh I thought the back spikes were big thats all...

We're starting out in different groups? (when did I miss that memo. ^^;; heh)
Do I have a group yet? ^^;;

No, we're going to all start in a city/outside of a city with a tournament in it I think. The groups are more of pre-RP relations.

Only if you wanna. Were all gunna really meet after the tournament...but its nice to know somebody in a 16 member group.

I think a sensus should be done to see how many Half-Demons there are in the world. We seem to have over 94% of the Half-Demon population in this 'group' already.

Seriously, out of what, 15 people playing, 35 seem to be Half Demons?

Whatupwitdat?

Off topic, though, I'm getting this made into a shirt:

Demon - Basing off your leavingness from your disappearence after Shadowrun.

IHMN, that was pure, comedy gold. You rock!

OH! Well that straitens things up... In that case whatever works...

Oh yes. quick message from Dante. He's a normal person, not a transvestite half-man, half-woman.

I had an off in that sentence? That doesn't make much sense... Without the off it still doesn't make much sense, but at least it makes some sense without it... And I misspelled disappearance.

Edit - Aw... You went back to the glass hand thing... Other avatar was better.

Point being, you make me laugh and we all love you.

To your face. Behind your back me make fun of you. A lot.

As for groups, I think I'm esocrting the dragoons, and I wouldn't mind adding Dante or Celes to the roster either. More people, more fun, more wacky adventures.

edit - Not enough color. I'm working on a new Card Avatar, though.

You bloody bastards... I mention half-man half-woman as a RACE and you take the idea to hell and back.

Think about it - what's the ancestry of a half-man half-woman?

Ah hell.

In any case, I got that from an old joke... "I'm a half-breed. My fatehr was a man and my mother was a woman."

I got that, and I figured that is what you meant. But a hermaphrodite was a funnier idea.

Ditto.

I second that motion

Damnit, I was hoping that for one RP you wouldn't comment on my character. But lemme explain. They would be sitting in front of Demios, while Demios puts his hands on the reins, kinda going around the person, y'know? And for your question on how it stays on, the spikes aren't thick, they only come out in holes from the back of the jacket, holes which were made from the spikes.

I really didn't need an answer for the shirt thing...

And I comment on everyone. I even comment on myself (Just you don't know it).

I know, I know. Just wish you wouldn't be so picky at times.

God loves us apparently...because J Man has come.


Also, my guy'll know whoever the other lancer is. Just for the Pre-RP relation thing.

My guy can know anyone who is either a drunk (Though they won't like eachother) or someone who is afraid of demons and hired a guard/escort (Ironicly).

He doesn't comment on my characters that much... but then I like to keep any logical inconsistencies away from my characters. Also:

Gee... I wonder why... can you imagine giving birth to a kid with spikes all over his body? If women and doctors are to be believed... it hurts enough when there are NOT sharp things slicing you up from the inside... I feel real sorry for his mom.

Dude, Avians have to pop out wings.


>.<

The wings at first are probably very little things, or not there at all. And if they have big wings at birth, that would mean Avian women would have larger openings (They would have evolved that way), so they would be larger then human women.

My mind's brief lapse into the gutter makes that statement oddly amusing.

I meant it that way.

Right, so keep that in mind next time you think of hitting on the cute bird chick, guys...

I wonder what the RP will be like with convesation like this...

But wait, Avians would'v evolved to be able to deal with that...so does that mean Avians get it bigger?

(Let's see how many people we can offend!)

Not really. Size doesn't matter to get something pregnant. And besides, being part bird, by logic the sizes would be smaller.

Edit - And BM never said anything about Avians being large (In body size), so it's more reasonable to think that Avians are born with really small, immature wings, or none at all.

Except they're only bird from the knees down. So, logically again, they would probably be human.

You only say that because you don't want to admit you're a two incher in the RP.

Still, the bird part would effect it somehow. And do Avians lay eggs or give birth?

And again, BM never said anything about Avians being large (In body size), so it's more reasonable to think that Avians are born with really small, immature wings, or none at all. Which means Avians are human sized in everything that is human about them, no more or less (On average).

But if they do lay eggs, the opening would be much smaller, and therefore make the other part smaller. You better hope it's internal and birth instead of external and eggs.

*krylo vanishes in the goriest and most painful way imaginable.*

And I'm gonna' agree with IHMN on this one. My original comment was made as a joke. Krylo instinctively thought we were serious, so...

*Splorch*

Wait? You thought I thought you were serious... as in I would seriously discuss the penis size of a half-bird person in an RP?

...I'm not sure if that makes you pathetic for thinking someone else is that pathetic, or if it makes me pathetic for allowing other people to think I'm that pathetic.

Probably me... especially considering how many pathetics I shoved into that sentence.

Well if there lower half is Yeah I'd assume they lay eggs. But its just there knee caps down right?
edit I think were all a little more pathetic Krylo...

Wow...that was really pathetic.


Any other plot holes or unknowns we can debate?

The attachment below pretty much covers the disturbed look on my face as I read this conversation.

Disturbing...

I'm not exactly sure what krylo's post meant, but it sounded like he just admitted he was pathetic... in that way...

I believe when I speak for many IHMN when i say this...


BURN!

Votes to move this conversation fast... So about this teams and knowing each other thing who knows who so far?

Now see, Celes, that's how you properly execute a zing.


Anyway... Don't make me cock-slap you, boy.

I agree with TSoV. Let's switch the subject to 'teams,' 'groups,' etc.

My guy'll probably fit in best with the more nature-oriented (being a Geomancer and all) in the beginning, or otherwise be a loner...what about teh others?

Fine...
Leave the poor rooster out of this. This problem is between you and your Swedish made penis enlarger pump.
So who will my guy already be with before the tournament? My guy would be a hired guard from demons and other attackers.

Mine will probably be a loner... unless someone wants to have hired him. Really up to the others... like IHMN, he'd be a hired guard.
I saw that... and I'll have you know I order all my penis pumps from Japan.

BE WARNED! *tries to struggle away form the evil*

Celes has a weapon of mass destruction, like none we've ever seen before!

*Whip of Authority curls around neck and strangles me*

I'll bet you any money I've seen worse.

*shakes head* I accedentally stumbled upon a picture while chatting with SS, and as I was verbally (and in IMs) recoiling in terror, and it has been figured to be a grand punishment... worse than Man Faye. But I won't use it, unless anyone reeeeally disearves it.

Anyhoo. That wasn't on topic. *shakes head again* Don't mind him... just go on with the other conversation. ^^;

The whip is old. Cat-girl with claws and tail is the new thing to make fun of.

Why not cat-girl with claws tail AND a whip? Really... why keep ourselves to just one joke at Jessa's expense?

You'd defiantly need a safety word with her...

Yes, and you'll be getting that picture I spoke of earlier, if you keep pushing it. *laughs maniacly.... then suddenly stops.* I'm going to bed, my mind has gone on overload from being too disturbed in the last hour or so. *shudder*

EDIT: Everyone is getting their kicks and giggles at my expense... damn you all! *clenches fist* I'll think of some other revenge anotehr time... one better than just a mind-scarring picture.

I think I already have a word that could make her stop doing just about anything... muahaha.

Wow I wish that could stop more things. I guess I could Hire IHMN... Yeah why not... If its alright with him of course...

FZ sounds like he's open to the idea of joining me, and I can find it plausible for Ripel to have any of the others accompany him. Anyone else?

My character...well, his part in the tournament would probably be signing up everyone in his group (other than himself, of course) to join. While he himself was selling goods just outside the arena, the others would fight for the prize money. When he was done or sold out (whichever came first), he would then enter the stadium with his own comfy seat in the audience.

Which, of course, he will get a large share of since he was the one to sign them in there in the first place. The profit he gets from selling the wares is all his by the way, since none of them were there to help at the time of the purchases.

Well I wouldn't mind if you hired Darilk on as a bodyguard, seeming as FZ is an inventor more than a fighter, so I don't know if I, as a travelling salesmen, would want to travel with just him and no protection... however...

I would hope he'd be smart enough not to try to get more than 10%... 20% max from a black knight if Darilk won the tournament.

I wonder how the tournament will be handled, though... PvP fights rarely turn out extremely well unless both players can decide who will lose before hand. And, unless we're all eliminated by NPCs (which seems doubtful) we'd end up fighting each other. Unless there's some kind of group fighting that ends up with all the players on one side...

Maybe we could all fight in PMs/Individual Threads?

Create a bracket, and try it that way. Of course, that's only if it's PvP battles.

As for the prize money, Ripel has his talk skills to get him a more than fair share of any of the prizes, I'd say around 30%. Of course, we can't forget that he'd be paying the others for their assistance anyway, so he isn't getting too much money from them.

PS - I believe the skill in question would be a varient of when you get gil from the enemy.

PMs is what I was thinking... but more in a general "Ok, my character is an engineer" "My character is a black wizard... I think I'd win" "Right but I could..." "But then I would..." Until someone has an 'I could/would' that's so ridiculous it goes to BM to deny or they decide on a winner without BM, and then the other person would win, they'd collaborate on a convincing fight yada yada. Kinda like what I and Dante did for our fight in the other FF RP. We decided before hand who would 'win' or how the fight would go, rather... I gave him permission to use my character, informed him of Ciaran's strategy and his fighting abilities... we compromised on a few points. The end was when Ciaran disabled the chain thing and almost won until the A/M fields flickered.

Although I'd be more comfortable if there was some way to not have PvP fights in the tournament.

I was actually figuring that in when I allowed for the 20%. I have no doubts that from a more amicable person you could get up to 50% with your mediator skills... but it seems that someone who would draw a weapon on you for being "dishonorable" and asking for money for services that you didn't mention would be costing x amount later, would be a bit more difficult to talk out of Gil.

I imagine IHMN's character would be just as difficult (although more because he'd just want to kill you for taking money, not for being dishonorable)... and the others I'd have to see how they act in the RP to really decide how hard it would be to nab money from them.

30% might work just because you're a mediator, but it'd take some convincing... most likely at sword point. 10% and below he wouldn't really care and wouldn't mind giving you that for signing him up... 20% I figure someone really good with words (a mediator) could get out of him. 30% they might still be able to get out of him if they don't mind risking their lives, above that would be kinda... difficult to impossible.

I kinda doubt Darilk will win... but it depends on who he ends up fighting. Just that there's one person I could see him losing to relatively easily for one reason (that I'll not divulge here for purposes of not wanting to sabotage his chances), and I don't see that person losing to many of the other characters... other than maybe the black mage or one of the dragoons.

Edit: Two people... one being Celes's character, because it's doubtful an 'honorable' black knight would strike a woman hard without good reason, and, thus, would hold back in the tournament... but I don't know if she'd join the actual fighting or not.

Hmm...a Dark Knight pissed off at a merchant with no truly loyal bodyguards.

Still...money would be good, and he could always just sell merchandise beforehand and afterwards.

How about this, 25% and Ripel joins the tournament himself to prove that the battles are not that much to be worried about. Granted, he wouldn't expect himself to win, but the action may be enough to prove that he isn't a coward who would ask others to do what he wouldn't.

PS - If it was just Darilk, then he would settle for 20% if his life was at stake. If more people were there, then he'd risk going higher.

Well, if he entered the battles he couldn't sell things... although it would prove that he wasn't a coward. Pushing it a little bit, and not backing down with a sword to him would ALSO prove him not to be a coward, however... and staring down an angry black knight would probably earn him enough respect for 25% in and of itself. Up to you which way to go.

It'd also be a lot easier if you mentioned a signing fee and then ran off to sign them up before anyone could question it.

Well, he could always sell before and after the tournament, and getting attention is always good for someone in the merchant business. I guess I will stick with the 25% and joining the fight.

Hopefully, though, I don't get paired up against someone with a lot of armor. The only real way I could imagine Ripel winning a fight like that is to hope they're slow or lower their bravery enough to turn the enemy into a chicken. (Not literally, like what happens in FFT of course).

As for mentioning the signing fee and running off, I think that is a lot easier than what I had had planned. Yep, that'd be the best way to go so far.

Right... so then Darilk will be a bodyguard for Ripel... and then get shafted out of a quarter of his prize money if he actually manages to win.

Count my guy out. Knights don't normally fight in tournaments.

And if avions were viviparous (gave birth to live young), the wings would be smaller, flush against the body, and very soft in all likelihood (cartilaginous and non-hardened), so the vaginal opening wouldn't need to be overly large, and even if it was, it's probably be more flexible to compensate for the slightly increased mass. If avions were oviparous, it probably wouldn't matter anyway. Though if you ask me, avions would definitely be viviparous, unless you wanted their childhood to take around 15 years or so (has to do with the head size)...

And why do all the discussions involving krylo devolve into probings of human/animal hybrid genitalia and reproductive practices?

Hey! I didn't start THAT one!

And it's too bad your guy is out... I think a paladin vrs a black knight would be a pretty interesting duel, although I suppose you're right about paladins not normally fighting in them (albeit I think a black knight would, for the money and recognition).

krylo - I never said you STARTED it. I merely said that the two discussion threads you were in recently had delvings into metahuman genital anatomy.

And I am also rather disturbed by why I feel so compelled to comment on them... You're making me evil, krylo! Get off! Get off!

As for my kniggit... yes, quite a shame. I can already imagine them exchanging banter with each stroke and counterstroke. Of course, if he were convinced that the only way to do good were to fight, he might acquiesce...

It's finally happened... one of my three life long dreams (the other two being powers of destruction and immortality, respectively), I've gained the ability to corrupt others merely by my presence! Ahh... life is sweet.

There could be an orphanage full of starving children in need of that prize money. Wouldn't that be a wonderful deus ex machina?

That'd be fun too. Imagine being able to corrupt even the purest of pastor's daughters into a depraved skank simply by opening one's filthy mouth and vomiting blasphemies...

Uh... did I say that out loud?

That'd be good... Of course, now that the story problem's fixed, there's still the problem that I'll be on exercise for the next week... Unless someone could magically delay my battle with krylo (or have Lucien seeded to fight krylo) I doubt I could confront him convincingly...
