In my creation of a World of Darkness RP... - Page 23

Be sure to put up a comprehensive list of backgrounds and skills and what have you as well... and the numbers you need.

I'll probably need about 5 txt files per section, especially since most of the Backgrounds differ from each other.

In any case, I'll complete Mage first, since there are many Mage players. Then I'll do Werewolf, then Fallen, then Vampire.

The Fallen chargen summary should be coming soon. I would have posted it earleir, but the damn Acrobat character recongnition function has failed me again...

The beauty of Mage is that either Correspondence or Entropy would work, depending on the mage's paradigm. With limited Spheres, and the realization that the mage in question probably does not think of them as such, one must be...creative.

Dante · 04-15-2004, 07:29 PM

I know there are many ways to achieve a desired outcome, depending on what SPheres and what kind of paradigm you have...

Incidentally, how do you roleplay increased Arete when working magick?

EDIT: Demon chargen summary up.

To FZ: To finish off my character, his nature is obsessive. His demeanor is friendly, outgoing, and studious. As Sons of Ether's tradition is in matter, just tack on an extra point in that sphere, or how many there is supposed to be.

Dimitri's Darlok's Background Story: Dimitri is the son of Ivan and Nina Darlok. Ivan, a nuclear physicist, and Nina, a biologist, escaped and defected from the Soviet Union in 1982. They gave birth to Dimitri in 1984, with his mother's eyes and his father's nose. Dimitri is now twenty years old and one of the most popular students on his college campus. His intelligence and upbringing allows him to excel in his academic work; however, academia greatly bores him to the point of hatred and rebellion against the facets of modern technology. His true passion lies in the study of magik, which first interested him when he realized the small amathyst bear figurine his mother gave him when he was born seemed to posses unusual properties.

To other RPers,specifically Dante: What exactly is the differance between Dynamic, Entropic, and Static Resonance? How many dots are supposed to be filled in? It doesn't state the number in the Chargen file.

Dante · 04-15-2004, 07:42 PM

Resonance - one dot only. It's not really that important (I think). It seems to be a theme/FX for your magick.

Dynamic Resonance is FX that connotes energy, vibrancy and power. E.g. (Burning, Crackling, etc.)
Static Resonance connotes organization, order and repetition. (E.g. Monotonous, Multiplicative)
Entropic Resonance connote darkness, destruction and disruption. (E.g. Discordant, Collapsing)

I may be off in my interpretation, in which case I will defer to reality_deviant's better judgement.

Snefix · 04-15-2004, 07:58 PM

FZ: Throw down one dot worth of Dynamic Resonance.

GAK! All right, this has gone a bit overboard.

There is a reason I didn't make this a sign-up. I am a senior in High School, and I'm about to graduate, and I have a shitload of assignments on my back right now. This RP will take A LOT of time that I will need to dedicate specifically to it. It is deep, complex, and still not completed. This thread was what it says it was, to gain interest in the RP and to see if it would be worth it to devote time to it. Since I have 11 people interested, that is enough in my book, and I will do it, but it will need time. Lots of time. This will not be ready to go this week, next week, or possibly even the week after that. I wasn't releasing a ton of info partially because I didn't have it, but also partially because I wasn't anywhere near ready to start it. I haven't read the books enough, and I haven't balanced it enough, and I still need to work through lots of details and issues before this RP is ready. And not only that, but the next few weeks of my life will be a hectic trip through Hell, and I won't have time for much more then getting my school projects in on time. So while your interest is appreciated, and I really want to thank you Dante for all the help with interpretations and getting up information packets, I am not accepting any sign-ups, and I am no where near ready to start this RP. When I am ready, which will be at an indefinate period of time in the future, there will be a sign-up, and by then this RP will be ready, but until then, could I please ask that you hold onto the packets and wait until an official Sign-Up begins. Thank you for your interest.

In other words, thank you for the interest, but please no Sign-Ups right now. Snefix, yours is stored for when I do get around to making a sign-up.

*KABOOM!*

Well , like FZ said, hold your horses.

The reason why I put those packets up is so that you can read and understand what you're geting yourself into. WoD characters are *complex* - no two ways about it. SO I wanted everyone to familiarize themselves with the rules... especially FZ. God knows how he's going to handle all of this when it actually starts.

EDIT: If you put up your characters, know that FZ has NO obligation to comment on it, to accept it, or even acknowledge his existence, given that he's still in school and has to assimilate five gaming systems worth of info without the benefoit of hardcopies.

BassDouken · 04-15-2004, 10:03 PM

D'oh alright then my mistake, ill take down to post too. Didn't know that we wern't supposed to. Alright then I'll conitnue to work on it in secret untill you have it all set up and ready for everyone. My apoligies again.

Dante · 04-15-2004, 10:08 PM

No problem. It wasn't explicitly mentioned, so i thught I might as well say it. FZ seems pretty stressed now, so I'll try and take questions for him.
