Title: Anyone interested?
Post by: Darkflame on
I'm thinking of throwing my hand in on the Mod end of things possibly. Anyone interested in a gothic fantasy monster Hunter setting? Sorta like van helsing, seventh son, the Witcher....

I will keep an eye on this one because as a manager I don't count as one of your two required players.

Max and myself dont count. The other managers do as they're mods with manager privileges. It is a cool pitch I think :D I do love me some witcher

I haven't watched any of Witcher but I'm excited to see more details!

The Witcher TV show is based off of the video game of the same name.

I think your Mom might have played that game.  Think Monster Hunter with fewer chibi cats.

Oh hi, this is a great notion, I love it. yes, yes I am interested, count me in!

Also, The Witcher was originally books and short stories that inspired three video games, two shows and a film. Crazy, huh?

Ding ding ding! That is correct. There is a lot of Witcher out there, although in most countries it was generally unheard of until the video games.  My game is not based in that world as I want to have a bit more variety to my world, which I am working on right now, including at least a small general map. For the moment I will tell you that you are not locked into playing a human, so if you have any interesting ideas run it by me and I will let you know if I think it will work.

Elven archer who hunts monsters because his village was wiped out by an infestation. They were told “everything will be fine”, so he’s not one to try authority figures.
Title: Re: Anyone interested?

Yep I can work with that.

It's probably going to be pretty standard.  Basic stats abilities, interesting notes. I. Working up some maps and area info so I will try and work out a bio template asap.
Title: Re: Anyone interested?
Post by: LadyJallyn on

MEMBER NAME: Maxx aka The Anal Thread Nazi
CHARACTER NAME: Blackthorn
RACE: Elf
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 4' 11 & 3/4"             
WEIGHT: 90 lbs
HAIR COLOR: Black (Greying)
EYE COLOR: Blue
DESCRIPTION:
(https://www.datapacrat.com/www.wulfarchives.com/ElfGuy.jpg)
FAVORED FIGHTING STYLE: Archery
ABILITIES: Accuracy born of 500 years of practice as an archer and bowyer/fletcher
(he prefers cedar shafts with goose feather fletchings, ash wood bows and linen strings)
Tracker/Stealth hunter, although he uses it mostly for tracking things that aren't exactly natural
Herbal alchemist, capable of making potions, poultices and poisons
A growing knowledge of unnatural creatures and how best to kill them.  It's far from complete but he has nothing but time.....
HISTORY: It would be fine, they said.  There was nothing to worry about, they said.  Why wouldn't they believe them?  They were the ones in change.  They had no reason to lie.  Except there was something to worry about.  It wasn't fine.  People were dying.  Something had come to the Everglades and that something was destroying everything.  It wasn't just killing the people, it was killing the trees.  It's touch brought blight and pestilence. 

And still those who were in change did nothing.  They continued to do nothing while the people who trusted them to protect them died.  And by the time they decided to act, there was no one left to save.  The Everglades were gone and only one elf remained.  He was half crazed when they found him, cutting his last remaining arrows out of the corpses of the things he'd killed.  There were dozens of them, as well as thousands of elven corpses, spread all over the newly christened 'Neverglades', a testament to the desperate pitched battle that the elves had fought.  He was the only survivor.

He asked them 'Why?'.  They couldn't answer.  So they died, like his people had died.  They died alone.  They died surrounded by guards.  When all of them were dead, he went hunting other monsters, as well as the complacent leaders who allow them to rampage unchecked.  He's been doing it for over a decade.

It is rare to see Blackthorn smile and laughed is unheard of, save for a mocking laugh.  He knows he is the last of his people.  They will eventually fade into legend but he wants the monsters to fade with them, so that if the elves are forgotten, so too will be the monsters that killed them.
NOTES:Prefers to dress in red
