Hiya! ^^
Chat and ask questions here!

Or you can join the discord! :>

 

[Thalia_Neko]

this is embarrassing, but i have no idea what i want to do for my character XD

i hope the lore thread appropriately explains the rps systems XD

 

[Thalia_Neko]

So, im deff thinking
that the DS gives you a new name -- one thats more "befitting" of the new Chosen character you become

so you -in our world, have your normie name, like Jim, or John, or Janet, or Lucy, or whatever (or the equivalent for other nationalities like Luka or Elizabeth or something)

but then the DS grants you a new name -your Chosen name

thoughts?

I think imma just make that a thing, cuz its fun XD

Like we get to give the character a new title?

 

[Thalia_Neko]

mhm yup! :>
well the "DS" gives them a new title, but yeah you, so long as i approve it lol

also, titles change, so even if like, you start as like
Sword of Swiftness

after adventuring through the labyrinth, you may become the Sword Saint, or Blazing Sword of Light, or something

I see, I'm also thinking of a character idea that is a physically stronk farmboy despite his unassuming size. Although more used in physical labor.

that totally works!

you can give him some sort of physically defensive powerhouse type of talent thats S rank

Something like that, yes. I wish to fill the slightly 'tankier' party member who is also useful outside of combat because the dude used to live the stardew valley life.

again, totally doable!
a farmboy likely has a Farming Talent, so even if it isnt S, its probably around C, which would be useful
our chars are going to have 9 talents (unless you want to limit the talents your char has, which is also fine)

 

[Thalia_Neko]

really, you dont have to think too hard about your bios, im not mega picky or anything! write something simple
my bios relatively simple

 

[Thalia_Neko]

For your bio

Not all of your talents have to be related
for an example
someone can have Blacksmithing talent, and like, Surfing talent, or some such. ill repeat, they dont all have to be related

you can also make up unique, character-specific parameters, if you so wish
just use my bio as an example
for example, Daeva has a parameter called
"Dark Force"
which is just how much damage or power there are behind her dark magic-like attacks. obviously not everyone uses dark magic, so most people arent going to have this parameter

heres more about what the talents are like!

Talents

According to the Talent Research and Study Division, Talents come in a variety of categories. Most Chosen are given only a handful of Talents from the Common, and Uncommon list of "known" Talents. Although this is widely accepted, Talent Study is still a misunderstood and early field, so it isn't a total authority on Talents. Talents are still largely not understood. Regardless, after years of study and with countless Chosen as examples, this is the best list that the TR and SD has come up with as of right now.

(Excluding some random talents that could still be listed but I didn't due to it being impossible for me personally to list all things lol)

It is also wildly accepted that there are many Talents that are very similar to one another. And due to this, the rarer variants tend to have stronger effects and skills.

(But that doesn't mean one should ignore say an S rank Swordsmanship Talent or something)

Talent Acquisition is still a mysterious field, however some things to note. Talents can appear at any time as one "awakens" as Chosen. Talents do not have to be "associated" with one another, or similar. A Chosen can have a handful of Talents, or one, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Although, Talents do seem to come to people who actually possess talent in that thing before awakening. In other words, a surfer, likely would awaken the Talent Surfer. Or a musician may awaken the Talent Musician. Or a baker may awaken the Talent Baker. So on and so forth.

With that being said. Sometimes "Latent" or "Hidden" Talents will awaken in a person. That is to say, a person may awaken a Talent that they didn't know or seem to have before awakening. These are speculated to be "latent" talents within the individual, that was not known or discovered beforehand. That is to say, if someone awakens the Musician Talent, it is speculated that person might've had the talent to be a musician but never attempted to be one before. So on and so forth.

Finally, Talents can simply awaken. They do not have to be what one was good at before, nor do they have to be some "latent" potential a person had. This means that a Chosen can simply awaken a Talent that they had no inclination with beforehand. And can awaken any number of Talents, with no rhyme or reason. To put it simply, one's list of Talents can be a random assortment of hodge-podge things that seemingly have nothing to do with one another. For example, a Chosen's Talent list could look like this; Alchemy, Fishing, Crossbowmanship, Medic, Trapper, Acupuncturist, Witchcraft. Etc, etc.

Talent-lore is still very confusing, and is one of the biggest fields of study in the world today.
It is accepted that Talents make up the "building-blocks" of a Chosen. You can imagine the Chosen as a lego set, and each Talent as a lego that builds them.
In that respect, Talents often influence the Chosen in a variety of ways. Including personality and ethics. The easiest example is if a Chosen has the "Killer" talent, they may start leaning towards that lifestyle. Or if a Chosen has the Noble or Lordly Talent, they may start exhibiting those qualities.

(And it's about to be busted WIDE OPEN when the S rank Talents arrive on the scene)

Below are Talents that don't necessarily fit in the "normal" categories above. In some cases, the Talents below haven't been recorded and are theoretical. Or in other cases, have been noted in only singular instances, or from wild sources. Or very rare instances. These type of Talents don't have much info about them for the lack of research subjects.

Odd Talents

Diviner, Diabolist, Monster Riding, Killer, Torture, Scythelore

Special Talents
Special Talents tend to have special status's attached to them. The easiest to understand is "Hero", which comes with significant Parameter boosts and effective Skills.

Holy Maiden, Hero, Saint(ess), Encyclopedic, Labyrinth Authority, Labyrinth Expert

Unique Talents
Unique Talents tend to land more in the realm of "theoretical". As these are Talents that are not confirmed to exist in any capacity. But they're theorized to exist because what a "Unique Talent" is is something that is special to an individual. That is to say a Unique Talent is -unique to the individual that manifests it, and no one else.
The reason for its existence is "Why wouldn't it exist? Look at all the countless Talent examples. Surely one would exist that is one-and-only for a specific person."

Necromancy, Puppet-Mastery

Question 1, Is there a specific age requirement for characters?
Question 2, Is there some sort of nobility? You mention leaders in the nation as a whole. But are there other smaller leaders for specific cities? Like mayors and kings?

no specific age nope (just be like, sensible in how you rp)

uhhh "Noble" is a Talent -which will alter the personality of your person a bit, making them seem or act "noble" or like "nobility"

but for the most part this rp takes place in Ambition and the labyrinth, so we wont really be meeting "nobles" -or people- really from outside of Ambition
so in other words to answer your question, no not really
this rp technically takes place in the "real world" sorta. our world anyway, has been changed by this event. if you can fit "nobility" or royalty in our world, then make it work for this setting, then im not against allowing it, but itd have to be explained in your backstory

Gotcha, not a problem.

Another child for the death maze?

 

[Marceline_idue]

Another child for the death maze?

MORE CHILDREN TO SACRIFICE... I mean, yes.

 

[Thalia_Neko]

Gotcha, not a problem.

you could be a leader of the city -- or apart of the people who run the labyrinth management or some such

Another child for the death maze?

yush! yay!

 

[Marceline_idue]

I was considering as an alternative a high society merchant. As rare weapons and materials seem to be sought after.

 

[Marceline_idue]

I plan to make two characters.
The first being a child with chemistry skills, because a child with toxic chemicals is the obvious choice.
The second I have no clue yet, but it will be made.

 

[Thalia_Neko]

both are interesting ideas
just note we have a merchant type char atm

 

[Marceline_idue]

I don't plan to do anything with that. In fact nothing at all other than her dad is a merchant.
