A portable hole would be cool... especially a bit one. Stick it on a wall and walk through, muahahaha.

Also, well of worlds was another item... I don't think I put that one on the list though. It's a well that connects to a random plane/dimension, but wild mages have a 50% chance of controlling where it leads... and it can lead into someone's bottomless pouch.

Actually, wild mages have a 50/50 chance of controlling most artifacts of randomness, like the Well of Many Words, Deck of Many Things, Wand of Wonder, etc.

Well yah.

Spirit already knows, and I'm not sure if he's told you guys, but I intend on signing up after the computer gets fixed, which should be soon (hopefully). Now.... what character should I be... hm. What do we have already? (the curse of signing up late/last.... no job classes to choose from)

IHMN - Alyan Facnobents (Bladesinger, Real)
Ecurt - Truce (Mime, Vilao)
krylo - Janus (Wild Mage, Lacaio)
Forever Zero - Dezil(General, Duques)
Biran - John (Beastmaster, Lacaio)
TheSpiritofVengeance - Urza (Pirate/Red Mage, Vilao), Magus (Red Mage, Real), Mikaliea Siteliev(Apparently Bladesinger, apparently Real))
RangerAidan - Luric (Cleric, Sacerdote)
GatoFiero - Craus (Cleric, Sacerdote)
lazy man - Koji (Ninja, Duques)

I'll probably join as a black mage... an EVIL black mage...

You might want to try Dragoon.

EDIT: Here he is...

Name: Antaeus Nybor Kenjarek (Calls himself Antaeus in polite society; he used Nybor as an alias during his magical training and created several spells bearing that name.)

Caste: Duques

Age: 49

Height/Weight:

Appearance: http://www.uncreativity.com/excel/il...o/manga-ip.jpg

He appears much younger than he actually does due to various arcane rituals and potions, but he is still a lethal battle-wizard capable of wreaking untold devastation when directing the Sorceror Corps.

Gear:

A standard assortment of magical wands and staves that he uses in lieu of his own spells, preferring to keep them for truly large battles, as well as potions brewed for him by his team of alchemists. He carries no weapons - he is a weapon.

His costume, The Mantle of Brigid, is a masterfully crafted piece of protective gear. It affords him incredible resistance to magical spells, which is quite useful given that most of his assailants are mages themselves. Against physical attackers, he has a few defensive spells bound to a chain contingency. The crown he wears, the Dragon Tear Tiara also grants him near-prescience - he cannot be surprised, although it does not increase his reaction speed, not that he needs it.

Occupation: Sorcerer-General, works with Dezil to coordinate the magical corps and the army in battle.

Class: Battle mage but with a lot of non-combat spells. Famous for the "Gentle Rebuke" series, and even more so for his weather-based spells.

Bio:

Sadistic, intelligent, and dangerous, Antaeus uses anagathics to maintain his youthful look and to deceive potential rivals into underestimating him. An arrogant child born into a Duques family, when confronted with the royalty of the Real, he swore that he would find some way to surpass them. And in the end, he did, in his own way. Antaeus enrolled in the royal wizard academy under the false name of

A prodigy in the dark arts, Antaeus quickly found that there was little that his tutors could teach him that he could not learn himself. After he graduated from the wizard academy at age 12, he proceeded to enlist himself into the Rasteria Sorcerer Corps, where he learned about battlefield magic in a sea of blood and death. His mastery of war weather was legendary even then, and subjugated nations still remember the wrath of the fire rains, lightning blizzards and thorn tornadoes he called down on them... and tremble.

Antaeus favors cold, ruthless efficiency when dealing with any situation. Common tactics involve taking to the skies with high-circle flight spells, then raining fireballs from his wands and staves onto enemy formations, or annihilating enemy commanders with disintegrate spells. He is not unfamiliar with impeding enemy progress by turning rock to mud, then reversing the process to trap them all for further disposal, nor does he hesitate to hurl himself into the midst of enemy armies, protected by powerful defensive magic, and summon high-ranking demons to his side. He is somewhat averse to fleeing obviously superior opponents, as his tremendous pride clashes with his tactical assessment of a situation, not that there are many threats powerful enough to make him flee.

Antaeus knows Dezil, and respects him for his command skills. While the Magical Corps have not been deployed for quite some time now, his men and he have trained with Dezil's troops, usually as an air-mobile assault wing. He is also aware of the existence of the mad mage Janus, who is quite possibly the only man who can surpass him in magical mastery, although the point is debatable.

EDIT: IF Spirit doesn't like it or if BM decides to join up, I'll withdraw him.

You should probably get rid of your magic item all together (Since it basically says he can't be hurt).

Edit - And could I take a second magic sword?

I've got my Shock Magic, I'm not too intimidated yet...

And I haven't seen/heard from BM in a long time, in this or any other thread, so you should be an acceptable replacement Dante.

What the heck is Shock magic?

And I decided to change the items, as per IHMN said. Otherwise he'll cry when he can't bully me like all the others.

You know General Leo from FFVI? And for the short period you had him, he had that Shock skill that demolished Kefka in three hits? That my friend, is the weakest spell in the Shock Magic category, "Arc"...

If you want, I'll post a full list of what Shock Magic is in a bit.

No, I don't know FFVI, much to my regret.

EDIT:

Does Shock Magic mean that you do some hideously obscene thing like cosplay as Man-Faye and cause his own spleen to strangle him?

I could easily bully your guy. Aim for the head. Your a mage, your not exactly agile.

As if I don't have Stoneskin, Protection from Non-magical weapons, Protection From Magical Weapons, Guardian Mantle, Absolute Immunity, etc.

*GASP* *Dies of shock (Regular kind, not the magic kind)*

Best FF ever. EVER I SAY! You need to track down a copy of it at some point and play it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Sweet lord, it's powerful, but it doesn't rely on pure undiluted evil to use...

I would LIKE to, but I've asked everyone and his brother and they don't ahve it.

Nah, that's not SHock magic, that's Disgust Magic.

I normally don't recommend it, but it is close to ten years old and for the SNES, so it is very rare. You may want to use an Emulater to play it on your computer.

Would those be like those Sex Magic spells you were talking about earlier that krylo was so interested in...

Sex magic! That should be my guy's one spell. Screw being faster, just make everyone extremely horny so they can't fight because they need to masterbate.

Dear God, what have I unleashed...

Hmm... right... damn, when I had an SNES, all I did was play Super Mario World, and nobody told me about FFVI... pieceashit...
Nope, this is entirely my own creation, drawn from the black, corrupted recesses of my soul.

I believe that spell is called Power Word: Rut.

And with your haste, you would "screw beings faster", as opposed to "screw being faster". Of course, this may cause problems with premature ejaculation...

It was also known as FFIII at first. Had characters like Kefka, Locke, Celes (That is where Celes' username comes from), Edger, and others. Great game.

Oh, well now I see why you always make such a good Black Mage...

I downloaded Celes' Theme on piano, and it's nice. Now to track the game itself down...

Of course.

[Voiceover]Evil, sadistic, and bastard-like, the one, the only, the quintessential black mage! Accept no substitutes for all your destructive needs - vote Dante for Black Mage!

Dante - where there's fire, there's Dante! (DANTE!) [/Voiceover]

(Coming to an RP near you. Batteries not included. The Dante you receive may not always be at full mental or creative capability and should be expected to murder all insignificant beings in blood-curdling ways to make even krylo want to regurgitate the contents of his past twenty meals due to utter complete and total disgust at the killing speed of Dante given that he is sadistic intelligent and dangerous. Warranty lasts for 90 days. Warranty begins with shipping. Shipping take 89 days. If you read all the way through this I congratualate you on your incredible patience and would now like to ask you to get a life. Dante goes crazy and inflicts painful genocide on all living beings for a five mile radius if not given food, drink, girls and internet access for more than one day. Manufacturers not responsible for painful genocide on all living beings for a five mile radius. Optional Dante Sanity Pack(TM), Decency Module(TM) and Self-Restraint Apparatus(TM) not included and wil lnever be included simply because we're evil bastards too. )

I know one way to restrain that Dante, but I won't mention it. Not at all... *CoughWoACough*

Anyway, since everyone's using magical weapons...I'm submitting these abilities for approval. They'll probably get shot down, but hey, I've gotta try.

Effect Mimic: If Truce spots a magical object and wields an object of similar shape and size then the effect of the enchanted object is copied onto the object Truce is wielding. MP used is directly porportional to the "cost" of the enchantments on the original weapons.
Item Change: Change the size and appearance of an object in possession. Lasts for half an hour, or how long the Mimic can keep up the spell; whichever is shorter. Useful for changing apples to oranges (or making gold from lead and that stuff). MP used is directly porportional to the extent of the changes and time controlled.

You bet. It's the first FF that got me really into FF. ^^ And Celes rocks. "I'm a general, not some opera-floozy/love-starved twit!"

*eye twitches*

EDIT: well. my computer is working again, so I'm trying to think of what character I should be... hm...

Oh, WoA = Whip of Authority... I really didn't get that until just now...

*FZ backs far, far away from the thread...*

EDIT: Gasp, IHMN was slow on the uptake for a WoA comment, I'm shocked...

Stupid WOA.... *shakes head*


Hey, would Cleric = White Mage?

Also, any suggestions of what I should make my character be? Hm... Could I possibly be an elemental mage or something like that.

I had completely forgotten about the whip until just now.

We have two mages already, so you might want to go with the Cleric.

I'm never allowed to forget about the whip.

There's already two Clerics too, I was just wondering, since if Cleric=White Mage, than I wouldn't be a White Mage.

Oh, we do have two clerics. I did not know that.

And yeah, Cleric = White mage, though only one of them has holy spells (The other uses dice).

You just wait and see, my dice'll get us out of any tough situation, you'll see.

Heheh.

First off, on the topic of FFVI, it was my first (and the best) FF game ever made and Locke was cool! My favorite scene was the Opera one. I have the lyrics for that, somewhere...

Celes, you could always be a Samurai. Or a Gambler. Or a Dancer, which I wouldn't recommend (Perverted Monk here...). Or a Painter (Use of magical paint and brush to create an image of a monster which does one of the monsters attacks until fading; can also make runes). Or a...yeah...

Gato = Gambler.

Samurai = Just another guy (girl) with swords.

Hey wait a minute! I'm mimicking Ronfar for my character, you could be a dancer and mimic Jean.

...wait...how many people here have played Lunar 2?

Edit - Yep, Craus is a gambling, drinking, womanizing cleric.

Try looking here. Look under the FFRPG. It has a ton of classes to choose from, and lots of stats on how each job works and what they can do.

http://www.returnergames.com/

EDIT: Look under Rules to find it.

Why not be an annoying flying cat instead? Or a money loving mage? Or a weird moon girl with lots of random magic?

Gambler - Whoops.

Samurai - You're forgetting that the Samurai (Final Fantasy) also have use of the spirits that lie within their swords. Also, their style would be somewhat different from a Bladesinger's, I would think. Finally, Samurai (the real ones) made excellent archers and riders.

Be a martial artist, Celes. We don't have one of those, and it'd be nice to see a girl that actually fights hand to hand in an RP...

I have a predicition for our first battle...

*krylo's guy cast some random spell which kills some people*
*Dante wants to top that, so he has his mage cast a better spell*
*krylo's guy "accidently" cast an even better spell*
*Dante sets half the world on fire*
*krylo sends the planet into the realm of fire*
*etc, etc*

And due to their DND/Mud nature/knowledge, they have the mind set of magic = gods.

Actually. I already did that a long time ago.

The money-loving mage sounds alright... but the rest of them just sound.... weird.


I'm thinking of either being a Dragon Knight (if I'm allowed) or maybe some kind of psychic/energy mage or sword-person. You know, how someone would just hold out their hand and knock somebody away with just pure energy. Or something like that. Or be able to use wind pressure with my sword.

EDIT: a martial artist would be pretty cool too actually

Wow...that Ecurt sounds like an idiot. Hey, wait a minute!

First off, I suggested against dancer, though I pointed it was out there. Second...who is Ronfar? Third, is Jean hot?

Finally...that swordy magical person sorta sounds like Agrias from FFT, a Holy Knight. But then again...how would that work in here? Can people channel spells through weapons in here?

You could use that punch thingie that the monks in FFT use to do the wind pressure thingie you were talking about.

http://www.lunareb.com/fanart/Jean1.JPG
That's a pic of Jean in her dancer gear.

Edit -

http://www.lunareb.com/cggallery/newcg/karatejean.jpg
Jean in martial arts gear.

You had the drunk picture on there before, you should have left it up. ^^ heh.

And here's the basics of what my character is going to be:

Name: Scaele
Caste: Vilao
Age: 18
Height/Weight: 5'5" about 115 lbs
Apperance: (view attachment.) But normal ears and no tail-looking thing behind her. (and more in humanly proportion, the picture is just artistic freedom with how the proportions go)
Gear: Not much, since she fights with her hands.
Occupation: (I think her class would be her occupation... not sure) Maybe Mercinary if the class isn't her occupation.
Class: Martial Artist
Bio: (I'll take care of this later. I just wanted to get teh basics down before I did my homework.)

So, does that look alright?

Hey... just because I miss the realm of water when I try to put out that fire...

http://www.rpgplanet.com/ff9/lunar2/bromide/8eb.jpg
Drunk pic.

Use the martial artist Jean picture instead of the one you have.

What if she doesn't want her character to look like Jean?

I vote she draw her character and post THAT... it'd look better than the picture she has now...

You know what would be funny, is if you are insulting her current picture as being bad and telling her to hand draw one, when it turns out she hand drew the current one...

Aw. but I like the outfit the girl has in the picture I posted. Hm... Fine... I'll draw something.

EDIT: and I don't want to be like Jean. Last time I did that, the RP ended with me getting kidnapped and never rescued. Because the heroes followed a raccoon, hoping it would lead them to me... hm... and the fate of the world relied on THEM? heheh.

That would be funny... but I've seen some stuff she's drawn, and the current picture isn't her style.

I am back! But nly for a little bit... Now I will put up the Thread tomorrow And Celes Martial Artist is fine. Krylo Dante I have played DnD. I know what can be done with a bag of holding and a portable hole. You are not getting one. This is going to be really scary with two insane wizards in it anyway. IHMN a pair of magic swords is fine just so long as it isn't too powerful.

My guy will be no more powerful then krylo's or Dante's (And possibly FZ's).

Good point. Alright you guys realize that the more powerful your guys are the better I excepect you guys to do in battle right? In unrelated news I am a very sad panda...

Phaw, that goes without saying...

Your just asking everyone to god mod with that line...

Maybe you should have said, "Alright you guys realize that the more powerful your guys are the more powerful enemies I'm going to throw at you which are specificly immune to anything you can do."


Edit - I'm liking the idea of that Cursed Blade thing krylo posted before (Not nearly as powerful though (I didn't read all of it, I'm assuming all those number things were strong)) but has some special ability as well as doing all of the cursed things...

Umm yeah thats what I meant...And please please I speak for the trees! No God Modding Please!

Also I promised to reveal some more plot and fill in some holes...

Item #1
You all will be starting at a summit that is digused as a birthday party for some noble. This is a very kind and famous noble so all of you will know off him at least (IHMN and FZ will probably know him.)

Item #2
The cult sect is insane, however its very popular compared to the Caste alternative. There is a new preist trying to bring about a new religion but more on that later. The Cult will do anything for money. EXCEPT things that go against their ideals Which are
A) All people are equal
B) There is 472 Gods and Goddess in their pantehon and they all represent something in us all.
C) Human sacrifices are expected weekily and must be pure blood (I.E Virgin)
D) Inbreeding is bad so all royalty is evil.
E) All order is evil that has been touched by man, so all preist that are in their cult are "untouchable"

Item #3
Not all people are born into the caste their parents are in with the exepcion of real because they can only marry people with red hair.

Item #4
The other alternate to religon is similar to Taoism and anybody in this religion has no hair on their head. Not even eyebrows.

Item #5
Most of the characters want this new nation to form especially the Higher nobles because they all have a chance at having some real power.

First things first - All shall feel the wrath of my Wrathful CastigatioN! Muahahhahahah!

Next - Can I get a runic guardian/Mithril golem/nimblewright bodyguard?

Third - I've told you that Antaeus knows war weather. However, this magic is diferent from his normal magic int hat it is much slower but more owerful, something like a high ritual of sorts which he does in concert with other mages. I was hoping to put that in, since it has largely no effect in the game but is kinda essential for Antaeus' story purposes. Doable?

Oh, and who is this Jean girl? her pictures are pretty...

Jean is a (non-erotic) dancer/martial artist from Lunar 2.

So... could someone not believe in either religion? That's how I'm seeing Janus looking at the two of them...

Dante
Next No.
Third: Fine if its for th story okay.
fourth I dunno

Krylo
Hmmmm... Okay I guess its alright...But I was going to mainly use the Cult as NPC's

Damn, krylo beat me to it. I was going to have Antaeus be an atheist and scorn all clerics/priests, if not to their faces, at least silently.

Janus would be more agnostic than Aethiest. Not really liking the caste system, and having trouble believing the gods would approve of such a thing, but on the other hand finding virgin sacrifices and untouchable holy men completely asinine.

Well Krylo if you want maybe you can be one of the few taoists. However I don't think you'd like that idea. Dante I think that you could do that. I wouldn't be too bugged by it... Also is anyone willing to change there caste to Senhores?

I'll be Senhores. Don't really care about his caste... just pretend I said blue hair instead of brown before it turned grey.

Also: Janus is an adventurer, whose magic tends to blow up wherever he's living... thus he's kind of outside of 'culture'. I think that'd be a decent way of explaining his particular views.

Basically he'd think the caste system is stupid because having red hair doesn't inherrently make you smarter/stronger/better than a blonde. Having travelled the world he'd have noticed this... and as that most people don't like living near him, he'd be able to form that opinion without being socially engineered to believe otherwise. He'd also still think the killing virgins thing is horrible, and probably actively dislikes the cult... and as for the taoists, he doesn't see why he should shave his head. Much less his crotch.

Hmmm... Alright guys I am geting off now. Krylo thanks for doing that. Also your guy seems like he would make a good opinion leader in the group. If he weren't a wild mage. Whew I am glad no one took rage mage, thats like BM from nuklear power in a since with the stabbity and all. Also for your special magic Item Krylo you get a deck of many things or Ishima's Ineffable Jar Opener. For the record The Jar opener is basically A demon that pops out of some portal when the bell is rung and he will open anything with a jar lid on it that you tell him to... He only does this once every twenty minutes after that he goes back into the portal. He does nothing else... Merry Christmas. As for Dante hmmm I have got a special artifact for you. Its called a Hat of hoding its baiscally a bag of Holding in hat form.

Dude... that Jar Opener is the coolest thing ever.

...I'm taking that. I'm also designing a spell that puts jar lids on people's heads. (I'm only half joking...)

I thought you'd like it. The thing is though it opens the lids, However lets just say that the means for opening the lid are not always pretty Just Imagine the balrog poping out of nowhere and opening a jar. Sometimes its neat. Sometimes its not.

A hat of holding? Hmm. I suppose slinging 1'200 lbs worth of potions of explosions out of it onto some unwitting fool would be fun...

If it's a big hat of holding you could pull it down over your head and disappear...

God dammit, can someone think up a way make me equal to some of these people. They all seem to be overpowered and my guy wouldn't be able to do anything compared to them. Either that or take something away from them.

I wouldn't say I'm overpowered at all. On that note, do I get any special and/or shiny magic things?

Alright, not everyone's overpowered, but at least take something away from IHMN. He seems to be overdoing it with the fast, rich, highly classed, perfect fighter, pretty boy thing.

Blade singers are supposed to be fast, that is the entire basis of their techniques.

Blade singer is either considered a noblemen's fighting style (Like fencing) or is extremely hard to master and only the rich can afford it (And Spirit said I had to be rich).

Spirit said the Blade Singer had to be in the Real caste, and I did not argue.

He is fast and only a little above average strength. If you put him up against a bear with no swords or any other weapons, he would have to run or be killed by the bear (If the bear can get it's hands on him though).

So?

Well... if the pretty boy REALLY bothers anyone... I could always make Janus a GAY old pervert.

Of course... it'll cost ya.

Hey, Ecurt's guy is a pretty boy to.

In every battle innocents must be sacrificed. Ecurt's guy will simply be one of those innocents. And... being a mime... one that could be harassed constantly without too much worry of him saying anything. Hmmm....

I still can't think of a second magic blade... I liked the idea of the cursed blade rune thing you posted, but not sure what it would the benifits of having it would be (I can't use all of the stuff you posted and I don't want to go read it).

Hmm, wait a sec, I didn't get any random, strange but nifty magical item...

And if you want a second sword... You have a blood sucking one... What about one that poisions whoever is hit by it with some hideous instant poison...

You have shock magic. My guy is just speed and swords.

And the first sword isn't blood sucking, it's life sucking.

And my magical item is 99% useless... it's just cool. "Damn mayonaise jar! BALOR! Open the mayonaise! I demand sandwichy satisfaction!"

Ah my mistake on the sword, but I still say a magical poisoned sword could work.

And even a useless magical item that could add some humor would be alright...

What's krylo's magic item?

Oh, and the current magic sword I have also splits into two swords that glow red.
