Welcome to Eden Online!  The innovative, ultra high-tech MMORPG, the first of its kind allowing full virtual reality networking, giving the players the complete experience of being part of a living, breathing fantasy world. This is largely due to having the world’s most sophisticated NPC AI, but also due to the extensive freedom it allows its players – even taking over dungeons and creating your own NPC’s is possible - thanks to all these features Eden is one, if not the most played MMORPG on the entire planned, with a steady stream of new players every day. ---- The thing is… you’re not one of them. You’re freshly made NPCs of a new player who may have done some very questionable build choices. Such as trying to roleplay an evil overlord character from level one, and putting nearly all the points into Create NPC. Now, being the freshly made NPCs that you are, you don’t really have a backstory. So instead, pitch me a cool character concept (Non-Standard and Monster races preferred! We are, after all, dealing with an EVIL OVERLORD here, folks! Why not be a slime monster rogue, a vampire cleric, a werewolf ranger or something like that? It's an MMO, silly class combinations are okay and even encouraged) and explain to me the following: Your evil overlord took over a dungeon. Well... let’s be fair – YOU folks took over the dungeon for them. What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? How did you impress the overlord in doing so? And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? For what purpose did they create you, anyway? ---- Important note: Keep in mind that this very much is meant to be humorous. The ‘evil overlord’ is very likely just a dumb teenager in the real world, and is going to be far less competent at being evil than you are. So I’m not really looking for truly dark evil here, and more the cool, edgy kind of evil. Don’t let the term “NPC” scare you. Your character’s “AI” is good enough that most people couldn’t tell the difference between a real person and or an NPC unless they double checked. Hell, people might even underestimate you because you are! As you start off, you'll be fairly low level, but as the overlord "levels up", so will you - growing in power and perhaps even changing into better versions - like growing from a mere skeleton to a Lich, or something like that. This will be largely narrative, but you'll become stronger with play. What you’ll be doing is making sure the dungeon stays safe, go on missions for the overlord, or even accompany them on quests! And, you know, defend them if they have to go AFK in the middle of a fight because their pizza arrived. Typical MMO stuff. And, as I mentioned previously, I am going to let you guys design the dungeon! We’ll figure out how to put it together after picks. On top of that, the overlord player character, too, will be decided on as a group consensus. We will be using standard FAE chargen rules for the characters. The deadline for apps will be 19th of January. If you need an extension, or want to talk about rules, or just chat in general, you can find me in #swampthings on Synirc, or contact me via PM’s.

 Newbee, Dark Dragon Whelp Tremble in fear, mortals! Your doom is at hand! By tooth and claw, your lives shall be rent asunder and your souls shall serve the Master's glory! Dare you face the might of the invincible Newbee in battle? ...why are you laughing? quote:Your evil overlord took over a dungeon. Well... let’s be fair – YOU folks took over the dungeon for them. What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? Hidden behind a secret passage three levels into the dungeon, the party found a treasure horde protected by a tribe of curious dog-men. Their excited yips, surprisingly sharp weapons, and endless numbers would have struck down any lesser creation, but how could they hope to match up to my glory? Despite the ambush they caught us in, I was able to clear a path to safety for the Master and draw their attention away while they made their escape. I was unable to follow, unfortunately, so I was forced to confront the horde by myself. quote:How did you impress the overlord in doing so? While a lesser servant might have been content in merely destroying the Master's enemies, my glorious presence and boundless vigor was enough to win over the dog-men and ensure that they would serve the Master from then on. The dog-men have proclaimed me to be their queen and have vowed that they shall protect the Master's treasures from all who would steal them. Needless to say, the Master was very impressed. Not only had I survived a situation that could have brought about the dreaded 'total party kill', but I had even secured a force to help protect their dungeon! Truly, I am the greatest of their creations. Who can possibly hope to match my exploits? quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? When the Master accepted the services of the dog-men, they made many comments that escaped my understanding. Cries of "wow," "such servants," and "very impress" escaped their mouth repeatedly. They would then chuckle after every such comment, evidently finding the situation very amusing. I... I am glad I could bring such joy to the Master. quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? I once asked the Master this very question. They answered that "any self-respecting Overlord has at least one dark beauty following them around" and then patted me on the head. So there you have it. I am the Master's dark beauty and their shield. None shall harm them while I still breathe. quote:High Concept: The Tiniest Tank Tricky fucked around with this message at 20:21 on May 4, 2017 |

 Baron Zanzibar Zygomaticus The Baron was not a person of particularly emotive sort. That is to say, not just because the only way he could even form anything approaching expression was by manipulating the small pinpricks of blue light that hung in his eye sockets, but because being a servant and champion of high nobility required a certain tight-lippedness. Especially when your liege was... special. "Very good, my liege", he intoned in a deep, rumbling baritone, "The Lesser Radiant Werewolf, does, indeed, drop a Rubyesque Pelt upon its demise, 12.5% of the time. However I must advice against approach at your present level of combat aptitude and preparation for-" Alas. It was too late. The Master had stepped within 50 feet of the creature, causing it to divert its (too dangerous for their current level) attentions at them. A lesser servant might have sighed. Or rolled their eyes. Or performed some other such passive aggressive measure. But not Zanzibar. He had far too much poise for that sort of thing, and he buried any and all disappointment he might have felt deep within the hollow recesses of his skull as he moved to intercept, once again... ________________ Yami Fenrir posted:Your evil overlord took over a dungeon. Well... let’s be fair – YOU folks took over the dungeon for them. What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? How did you impress the overlord in doing so? "Master is... a zealous sort. Filled with", Zanzibar lifted a teacup to his teeth (how does a Skeleton drink tea? Or use consumables like potions? The magic of Handwaving!), giving him a socially acceptable pause to think of a suitably flattering term to describe the very much non-flattering nature of his liege, "...ambition. To clear an entire Dungeon and set claim to such at our present capability could very well be said to be an act of total hubris by someone lesser", in that it was fairly insane, and in many ways succeeded only by fluke, but Zanzibar felt no particular need to point that out, "But thanks to their wits and the help of their loyal servants, we succeeded. I, personally, being trained in the arts of single combat, mostly took care of the mob leaders, as well as engaging with the tougher creatures we encountered. The Inner Sanctum, where the throne room is", and that was currently somewhat overgrown, but that could be sorted out later, "asked for my talents in particular. The Master seemed particularly pleased with my, if I do say so myself, expertly timed and executed Uncanny Sidestep, Hamstring, Lesser Crippling Blow, Minor Banefire Slash and Piercing Strike combination attack that almost completely neutered the Greater Mossling that had made its lair there." Yami Fenrir posted:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? "And that is how Master came to possess their throne, where I will stand at their side and wield my blade as their champion", a service that would come to be used very often indeed, the way that things were going, Zanzibar thought grimly, "For such is my specialty and intended purpose as their loyal servant. The duel, and the destruction of foes in honorable single combat, where with skill and deftness of hand I punch above my apparent strength." Yami Fenrir posted:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? Of course, there were things Zanzibar would not divulge. Now, the fact that their Master seemed to sleep far less than others such as them was a boon of course (well, sometimes, and to a far lesser extent than what Zanzibar was totally comfortable with), but the occasional slip-ups and mentions of "mom just doesn't get it" and "I'll make it big someday" seemed to hint at some sort of strange, otherworldly familial drama (or pray tell, sickness of the mind, since Zanzibar knew not of any family the master might have), that it would have been just excessively uncouth for a servant to mention. quote:High Concept: The Lady's (long suffering) Champion Theantero fucked around with this message at 19:48 on May 4, 2017 |

Glitterbone Forest Once a haunted forest, it's still technically a haunted forest, just different now. Where once the scene was dreary and fog shrouded, now the paths are clear and the sun shines between the trees during the day. The vengeful spirits that prowled the shaded paths have been replaced by gardeners in cute outfits and masks who move a little too slow to be human. At night, the shades return, accompanied by the sparkling colored glass encrusted skeletons that give this zone it's new name, Glitterbone Forest. Scylla maintains a cottage and a carefully manicured series of paths throughout the zone to avoid sunlight during the day. The actual conquering part of the forest was pretty easy. As a haunted forest, the remains of many a fallen adventurer littered the ground, and Scylla had no problem reanimating them and sending them to bash on their antagonistic brethren. The ghosts were where she shone, as she managed to impress the Overlord by flash freezing them and then switching them over to her command before they had a chance to recover. Yami Fenrir posted:What made the Glitterbone Forest so dangerous that you found all those adventurer corpses to raise?  Part vengeful spirit, part skeleton, all dragon, Kirak filled the air around her with a deadly poison that leaked from her very bones and served as a replacement for her original, living, breath weapon. Such poisons are of no use against the Undying, and Scylla simply marched her own army of skeletons and zombies forth against it. The battle was long and hard, many of the undead minions fell that day. In the end Kirak lay defeated, nearly slain, and Scylla waited impatiently for something called a 'bio break' to be over so that the Overlord could lay the final blow and claim the floor and glory. After, they apologized and mentioned having imbibed too much of a strange elixir entitled "Mountain Dew". Scylla was uncertain whether the dew of the mountains had healing properties. quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway?  Name: Scylla Mortabludenko High Concept: The cutest necromancer you ever did see Every evil overlord needs an army of the undead! I guess Master decided that would be my job. Apparently my visage is styled after something called moe, I just like things to be cute, especially me! I have the full repertoire of undead creation abilities, but mine aren't all gross and rotting. Trouble: RIB (Rest in Bling) Everything must be cute! It took me ages to decide on the glitters and sparkles on the skeletons. The zombies wear mascot outfits, of course, but the higher level undead lack a certain something... The incorporeals torment me, I tend to stick them on night duty since I can't easily decorate them. Master is going to love the new fall Wight styles, I found a deposit of emeralds and I've been saving up silver ingots. They'll be to die for! Aspect: Surprisingly strong magic user Necromancers are spindly, wasted away stick figures, but not me! As a vampire, dark power flows through my veins and grants me strength beyond mortal limits! It's not always great though, since sometimes I break things meant for magic users by accidentally using my full power. Aspect: QUEEN of the Vampires (in training) As the first vampire, that makes me in charge! We don't have any other vampires yet but I'm sure we'll encounter some maidens eventually. I can't wait to have an army of daughters to call my own. If we find any boys, bleh, I'll turn them I guess, if Master demands it. Aspect:Lightweight Blooddrinker Blood is the life! Ah the strength and vitality of the living is so refreshing... but I kind of can't handle it. More than a little blood at a time and I resemble what mortals call 'drunk'. I can get by with less than a normal vampire, but it tastes sooo goood I'm always tempted for more, and then I'm stumbling around, crashing through walls and trying to mesmerize my own reflection. Approaches:
Oh, were you using that? My bad.: I can Forcefully disarm, trap, or disable my opponent's weapons with my vampiric strength to Create Advantage with a neat +2 bonus. I love Arts and Crafts!: I can Cleverly whip up works of art like sculptures, paintings, and fine clothing to Overcome social situations with an artistic +2 bonus.

I call item economy, gold farming and digging new rooms for the dungeon with a Miner Lich!  How are you? Nice to see you. Sit down anywhere you like, I could do with a break. Gotta tell you my muscles sure get tired swinging this pick around. Ha! Muscles... oh don't look at me like that. Oh I get it, you're thinking "oh what a big strong skeleton" well thank you, I been working out. Bet you just thought I was big boned. :@{}""Ł}{}) *Cough Cough* oh my god how does he do that? I feels like my tongue just broke it's spine. Have you ever tried to speak the ancient language of Eee-mo-gee? It's a tough one. But it's all so I can understand and converse with my Master better. A great and powerful lord of this dungeon. You've not seen him? Ah well you're pretty out of the way down here. But since you're here, let me tell you a little about myself. quote:Name: Blackbone quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over and how did you impress the overloard in doing so?  The Ancient Markets This place, well you can see from this bit of it that still remains was beautiful. You could still see signs of the past from when it was still an active bustling town, the withered marketeers still manning their stalls, their wears long since rotted away or reclaimed by the ever creeping plant life. You just got this sense of... industry! History! Treasure! And oh boy the treasure! There were stacks and stacks of it. I mean most of it was rusted beyond use, but there were hidden gems. Actual hidden gems. Can you believe that? HA! They were some crafty sons-o-bitches and the deals were to die for. I mean there were mobs of revenants and some of my mindless kinsfolk fighting over those items still. Tons of them, the eternal Black Friday in the darkness of the underground. Worse of all though though was The Saint of the Hoard. The Lord of the Grand Bank. Our Master said it best: "OMG WTFuck! This guy is soooooooo OP!" I don't know what that means exactly but if our Master said it then it is a quote worth remembering.  The Saint of the Hoard  His Battle Clerks This guy was tough. His Battle Clerks were hard enough but the more gold you held the more powerful this guy was. When I was awoken our Master had been trying to "beat this floor" for some time. The secret to victory lay in not obtaining any of the quantities of money distributed around the Markets so the Saint would be less powerful. But it was not a tactic our Master was willing to consider, and I applaud him for it. For what master is worth following if they do not seek a challenge? Our Master lived up to this ideal with gusto. As such we needed an alternative plan. My Master was... uh, disappointed in me. It seemed whatever grand strategy he had planned for me I was unworthy of fulfilling. So he told me to "make myself useful and get some gold or something". Now the place with the most gold that I knew of was the market and more specifically the bank. So while our Master slept I devised a plan and got to work. I dropped the floor above on the absolute ball bag of a lord. I crushed him, the battle clerks and the entire bank and most of the market, combining the two floors, wiping out the local monsters and claiming them both for our Master! All it took was to dig down from the floor above and weaken the supports that keep the ceiling up. I'm still excavating my way to the bank so we can get back the gold there. But once I get there I hope the Master will be real happy with me! quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? To this day I still never dug up (ha!) the courage to ask our Master about it. But I always keep my eye on him when he goes into a trance for fear of this goblin returning. quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway?

 Name: Katja Caldera High Concept: Hellkin Brawler (Invoke: Do demon-y or punch-y things. Compel: React badly to Holy sources) Trouble: Food on the Brain (Invoke: TBD Compel: Let hunger lead to rash decisions) Aspect #3: Grandpa’s Ghost Never Shuts Up! (Invoke: Talk about demonic lore or history with some authority. Compel: Grandpa says something inappropriate or rude, even by Katja’s standards) Aspect #4: Order of the Golden Ox Initiate (Invoke: Brag, bond with other Order members. Compel: Be forced to do a class quest) Aspect #5: Hey, Look Over Here! (Invoke: Distract from what's really important, be entertaining. Compel: Be bad at sneaking around, stand out in crowds and be very memorable) quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? St. Monica’s Cathedral, it’d been abandoned by whatever Church that ran it ages ago and was recently overrun by a bunch of humanoid bandits. Now, this could’ve been trouble for a Hellkin like me if the original priests and paladins were still around but some plain old humans? Who cares if I was underleveled, helloooooo type advantage. quote:How did you impress the overlord in doing so? There was one big scary monster in the Cathedral’s basement that Boss kept saying was invincible, some possessed dragon statue that we had to do some kinda ritual to exercise? I wasn’t totally paying attention so I kept trying to fight it while the others were running around reading whatever books were needed nearby. Boss was yelling at me to follow but I just wanted to grind that thing to dust with my own hands! Something about other mobs they needed help dealing with. After a couple of minutes they did whatever they needed to and the statute tipped over, back to being perfectly harmless. Boss probably should’ve been mad at me but they were just surprised I’d done a whole 10% of that statue’s health at our level! They uh, weren’t as surprised when I kept wanting to thrash the statue after we beat it. But they made me go back to following the rest of the group. Talk about a bummer. quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? Sometimes the way they speak, it makes it sound as if there are others like them watching as we explore and fight in Eden. There’s definitely only one person interacting with us but they’ll sometimes let something slip about ‘their subscribers’ and hoping that they 'like' us. Strange, but Boss is strange in a lot of other ways so I don’t worry about it. quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? Demons are really powerful and important in the world of Eden! But they’re also really crabby and don’t get along with most mortals at all. Yeah there’s cults and stuff but that’s almost always demons tricking humans into doing their dirty work, not really a partnership or anything. Hellkins like me are the closest a lot of people can really get to tapping into demonic energies and that's definitely something Boss is interested in. Also? I’m really good at kicking people’s butts. --- Careful: +0 Clever: +1 Flashy: +2 Forceful: +3 Quick: +2 Sneaky: +1 Refresh: 3 Stunts: Humans Are So Easy To Push Around!: Because humans are so easy to push around, I gain +2 to Forcefully attack humanoids. Center of Attention: Because I love being the center of attention, I gain +2 to Flashily Create an Advantage.

Interest post. Working on a concept. - - - 'Mimi' The Mimic?   Name: Mimi High Concept: Mimicry is my calling in life. Biting people is my hobby. As a shapeshifting ambush monster, I have to blend in seamlessly with my surroundings. Be it gloomy dungeons, tacky palaces, or busy market streets. I mean, I wouldn't get far if I was only a box with teeth in life. So I've learned how to innovate. Even take on human disguise when required! Trouble: Old Habits die hard. Look, you try evolving as a species of ambush predators. You can't just turn off the whole biting thing. I mean, I try really really hard. But sometimes, you can't help but put something shiny in your mouth and wait for someone to offer you a finger buffet! As you can imagine handshakes offer similar issues. Aspect: Mimic see, Mimic DO! I'm not your every day average mimic, I've got a couple tricks up my... maw? For one thing, I can copy the abilities of my enemies. With my own twist of course. So if you face me in battle expect to have your own skills throw back in your face. It makes blending in with living creatures a hell of a lot easier, we're not just inanimate objects you know. Aspect: Scholar of the lands, fauna and relics of the world Look, don't spread it around, but we've got to be pretty knowledgeable creatures about the world and our surroundings, what treasure is safe to use as bait, what items fit the location and how said item should be presented. What the local wildlife is and how to impersonate it! There's a lot to know, being a Mimic. As such, I have learned about the entire world, it's cultures, architectural styles, all of it. I'm a walking talking encyclopedia of the entire world. Aspect: I ate a book once. The diet of a mimic is varied, and our internal space can hold all kinds of things indefinably to bring back up later on. Weapons, armour, clothing, food, anything really. For instance I ate this grimour once, and since then I've been able to Approaches: Careful +1 Clever +3 Flashy +0 Forceful +1 Quick +2 Sneaky +3 Stunts: Because I'm a mimic, I get +2 when I Sneakily attack by ambushing someone while I'm disguised. Because of my bag of holding like properties, once per session I can produce just the perfect item for the situation at hand. Because I ate a book once, I get +2 when I Cleverly Create an Advantage by Spitting forth low level spells from my mouth Because I am Made of mouths and Teeth once per game I can Eat someone human sized or smaller whole, and remove them from the scene to spit them back later. With a maximum limit of three rounds. Things wot I own - Beast Soul: Thunderhawk Soul! - A very pretty kimono. (Possibly Magical) quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? I excel at any parts of the dungeon! I'm adaptable! But if I had to really pick... I guess it was sneaking through, mapping the whole thing out, and bringing the full run down back to Master before the raid began! I was invaluable! You all heard it! Master said it! "Invaluable"! I mean, I found the loot rooms and enemy placement, and boss locations, where the traps were. (They still walked straight into two of them...). Oh, and whenever Master burst into rooms I flapped their cloak, and like breathed out mist. Dramatic effects and everything! I'm pretty good with the corridors, some of the warmer rooms, with patches of sunlight, makes settling down to wait super comfortable. Ohh, the treasure rooms as well. Natural environment for a Mimic. But like I say, I'm adaptable, I like to mix it up, try new things, innovate. quote:How did you impress the overlord in doing so? I could walk in and out of that dungeon without triggering any of the defenders. None of Master's other minions could pull that off! Come on! How is that not impressive! "In-val-u-ble". Then I snuck behind enemy lines and went after the casters and healers in each encounter! quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? Master can see behind themselves without turning around! And Master knows where everyone is and how they're doing! Without even asking! Like Master knows when they're hurt! Is it some kinda magic? I don't think so. I just think Master is super caring! ... sometimes I hear other voices coming out of their mouth. Angry voices. Never talking to us. They talk about trash, and chores, and wasting life, going outside. But Master always returns to us. Perhaps it's tasks from the gods that gave Master their powers. quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? Infiltration, scouting, and item hoarding. Apparently I'm a bag of holding with legs. Master made me carry all of their unwanted stuff. Like rocks! I mean, who needs like little stones? So Master made me hold them. And monster loot. And all the notes they picked up. And potions Master doesn't have space for! I have feelings you know! I'm a girl! We like shiny things! We like to look pretty! (which, for your information has nothing to do with using things to lure in prey! What? Stop looking at me like that!) Just once I'd like to be given something valuable! Rather then having to steal it for myself! Okay, I've got a lot of shiny valuable things. But it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter! You know?

 Oghrul Skullbasher quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? How did you impress the overlord in doing so? Originally, the Chief wanted us to burn the whole thing down, make their pages go up in smoke. A simple but effective plan, save for the fact that all the doors had sealed up tight as soon as the books started flying around. Willing as I am to go down fighting for the Chief, seemed like a bad move to roast us after getting so far into the dungeon. That’s about the time that he showed up, this sort of… spirit. Started asking us all these random questions about Eden. At first, we ignored the thing, until I noticed that each book that attacked us was related to the questions the spirit was asking at the time. Turns out the whole situation was a kind of puzzle, where every question answered meant that the relevant books would return to their shelves. Still took us awhile to beat, but it was a lot less painful this way. Seemed like the Chief was pleased by the fact that I actually answered a fair share of the questions. Said it proved it was 'worth putting points into my intelligence stat.' quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? quote:High Concept: Brawn and Brains TheFireMagi fucked around with this message at 19:24 on May 4, 2017 |

 Sabel Ah yes, hello hello! My name is Sabel, witch and thief in the service of our dear Master. Good to meet you! quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? While I did assist in dealing with traps and magic, I'm proud to say my biggest contribution was when both of those were combined in the Room of The Resting Knight. quote:How did you impress the overlord in doing so? So we needed a way to disarm the traps so we could get by the Knight - we were rather unprepared to just deal with them head on I'm afraid. The traps were hard, but the Master told me "Just keep doing it until you succeed." Simple enough. It took a lot of healing potions, and trying to avoid the Knight when they awoke, but eventually every trap was disarmed and the Knight went back to sleep. quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? After we took over the dungeon, the Master had another task ready right away. "Go to the lands of Skaxes, find out what it's like. Uh, see if you can get close to them. And find out more info about them, okay? Like, what they might like as a gift. Or something. You know." Now I might have been made just a little while ago, but I can tell when someone has a cruuuusssh! Haha it's so cute! I didn't tell the Master that of course, they like to take themselves seriously. But how could I possibly say no to that request when it's about love? Sadly, getting to Skaxes themselves is difficult but I'm working on it. One of my top priorities, as a matter of fact! quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? To get "info dumps" when they want to find something out, to go among their rivals and find their secrets, and to steal what they want. Last one's been a bit tricky I have to admit. Many of the things the Master wants are highly powerful and therefore highly guarded. I'm sure I'll be able to get them some day though! quote:

This sounds like fun. I'll actually stat up something later, and come up with a name, but my concept is... Below the dungeon is an entrance to the Magma Halls, an endgame area filled with fire elementals, fire-breathing salamanders and all manner of firey beasts. So much fire damage, and for the first few strata, precisely zero of any other kind. And while total fire immunity is hard for a player character to get, an NPC Flame Demoness has it for free. The Overlord's plan to harvest resources from an endgame area urned out to be flawed - the difference in levels meant that it would take weeks in real-time to grind down even the weakest monster, and the resource nodes were in much the same situation. Still, the Flame Demoness's unique abilities are not entirely useless. She is able to work wonders crafting with common resources, making them molten in the lava pits and shaping them like wet clay. She also transports lava back into the dungeon, to make it's traps a little more deadly. Finally, she makes a little money on the side, watching veteran adventurers fall to the high-level encounters, and rifling through their pockets before they respawn.

Although a Flame Demoness sounds a bit much for a level 1 NPC. maybe some sort of Imp that then later on upgrades to a Flame Demoness? The fire immunity thing is fine to keep, though.

Everyone Make ONE suggestion for the Overlord you want to see in play! It can be as detailed as you want (pictures appreciated). The voting will happen once picks are made. Newbee, Dark Dragon Whelp The overlord has given you a gift! A head slot item. To be precise... it's a pair of bright pink hair bows. What do you think about the gift? And the other servant's reaction to it? Baron Zanzibar Zygomaticus Doesn't it bother you a little, that despite your boisterous title, you're... just a base class skeleton? Sure, quite powerful for the level, but still... Blackbone Despite the initial anger at the fact that you cannot use magic, your master has come to appreciate your... unique talents. What's the fondest moment you had serving them so far? Mimi the Mimic You've noticed that your usual bite reflex doesn't trigger when the Overlord stores items in you. How does that make you feel, anyway? Does it change with the rarity of the item? Oghrul Skullbasher The Overlord made you the guardian (and caretaker) of the Alabastar Archives! Which would be nice... if it weren't for that one thing that's really creeping you out in there. What is it? Ike Plozhen, Duergar Blacksmith What's the coolest thing you've blown up so far? What's the item that you made that you think was the greatest offering to your overlord of yours yet? Yami Fenrir fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jan 9, 2017 |

 Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone  Dragon King Yamato! Filled with elemental fury and power! Majestic, charismatic, intimidating, powerful. He's our glorious master and I'd follow him anywhere! Is he gone? Oh god help me! He's a moron! I marked traps for him and he walked right into them! Twice! We spent half the dungeon raid picking him up off the floor! He doesn't even react to the attacks thrown his way. We were fighting a floor boss and the thing telegraphed it's target. Right where we were standing. We scattered, he stood there and took it! At first I thought it was brave, but then he started jumping about and panicking and it was horribly obvious that he wasn't paying the slightest attention! All of his equipment is way worse then it looks! It's all just magicked to look cooler then what it is! What's worse is that... I can't help but follow him! Admire him! Want to please him! Get jealous when he GIVES RIBBONS TO OTHER GIRLS (WHO DOES SHE EVEN THINK SHE IS THAT SCALY...! >.< ) It's got to be a side effect of our creation. quote:Mimi the Mimic First few times it's scary. Like, that's my mouth he's putting stuff into. You'd expect to gag and bite. But it didn't happen. Now it makes me fell... special? I'm his Mimic, and he's the only being who's ever touched my tongue without loosing an arm. But it get's better when he puts in more valuable loot. It's like it's a gift, a present from Master! I'd dance for joy if he wasn't looking. No one ever gives a Mimic anything! Once I'm out of sight I'll play around with the item. Try it on, swing it about, model it, you know? Clearly it's proof that I'm his favourite! Why else would you give a girl all these gifts?

Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone Her Dark Eminence, Midnight  Midnight is an existence of unparalleled poise and sophistication. I cannot imagine a more ideal master. Her skills at magic may not seem to measure up to her beauty, but surely that is simply because she chooses to have her loyal servants manage that which is not worthy of her personal attention. quote:Newbee, Dark Dragon Whelp Ah, yes, of course! You speak of the Ribbons of Awe that our glorious master saw fit to bestow on me, their favorite servant! They insist that that I wear them at all times. How could I not? They are a precious token of the Master's esteem! Statistically, they may be slightly inferior to some of the equipment that I have seen others in my role possess, but that is no matter! What fool requires the aid of equipment to fulfill their calling in life? I could serve as my master's shield with naught but my scales and claws. It is most curious to behold the reaction of my peers to this gift. Where I would expect to see the jealousy and fear that rightfully should be directed my way as the most eminent of our Master's servants, instead... they seem to find the sight of me to be amusing. I have caught some of the lesser servants making light of me when they think that I am not paying attention. Hmph. Fools, the lot. At least the dog-men can appreciate the glory of the Master's gift. They have taken to fashioning likenesses of the ribbons for their own use and view the wearing of such to be the highest compliment that they can pay to their Queen and their Master.

Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone  Fufufufu, you are no match for my Army of Darkness! What? S-shut up! It's none of your business if I want to spend my allowance on cash shop items. My wings are so cool, aren't they?!? And this dress compliments the rest of my gear perfectly! I had to have it! quote:Ike Plozhen, Duergar Blacksmith My greatest offering eh? That's an easy question. Their cape of course! Boss wears it all the time, and I can't help but swell with pride whenever I see it. Had to get the crew to gather some rare items to make the thing. It's color, the texture, the way it billows majestically behind the boss whenever they want, it's perfect for them. Yeah, the stat bonuses are kind of low, I guess. But that's hardly important!

 Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone  "Oh yes. Our liege is a Dark Officer by class, very much determined to make all the way to Overlord. Specializing in group buffs via Commands, as well as large area utility spells to mold the tide of battle, Dark Officers are deadly indeed when possessing a knack for quick thinking and tactical acumen." Zanzibar's tone seemed ever so slightly disappointed as he finished his explanation, but not enough to really attract attention. It was not the place of the servant to pick their Master after all. He'd just have to plug the major, major leaks in his liege's aptitude to the best of his ability. Yami Fenrir posted:Baron Zanzibar Zygomaticus If Zanzibar had eyebrows left, this is where he would have raised one in polite, quizzical confusion. "Almost everyone starts as a base class, do they not? This common sense that people begin existence as more or less identical in many things, different specialization options barring, no? Certainly it would be most foolish to feel any sort of spite against such an immutable fact of life", even if he did a bit, actually. It was always annoying in the extreme to have people disregard your noble lineage due to perceived lack of strength, just because power always tended to linearly increase with rank, "Besides, I am confident that any apparent equivalence between myself and assorted bone rabble will be over soon enough, after we advance to higher tiers of exaltation. Perhaps Master shall see it prudent to allow me to recover great artifacts of the Zygomaticus line as proof of my heritage, in time."

Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone  Despite his lack of combat technique, the Chief certainly strikes a fearsome visage in that armor of his. As fitting for an overlord, his presence and aura alone demoralizes his foes in battle, while that large blade of his is perfect for cutting hordes of them down after they have been weakened. In theory, anyways. In practice, the Chief’s debuffs are almost unnoticeable and his damage output is… questionable at best. Not enough skill points invested into either tree, apparently. Ah well. That is what we’re here for, in the end: making up for our master’s admittedly many shortcomings. As an aside… surely there must have been a greater compromise between aesthetics and practicality? Not that I would ever think to question the Chief, but I just can’t figure out the purpose for all the spikes. A deterrent for being grabbed? But then, why on the sword as well? It bothers me. Truly, it does. Hah, why couldn’t he just wear something that was less flashy? Honestly... Yami Fenrir posted:Oghrul Skullbasher

Yami Fenrir posted:Everyone  xxx_GrantTheGrand_xxx Having heavily invested in NPC creations, the player stands behind his allies, surveying them as a General does the battle to direct them as he wills. Using the few magics they have learned to provide fire support from the safety of the backlines. Mostly due to being poor in any other form of combat and unable to stand up to damage. Yami Fenrir posted:Blackbone My fondest memory was the first time I went to the surface with them. I mean, I'm a creature of the dark and the deep sure, but... well the first time you see the limitless sky is an education. My world was close, rooms and tombs and tunnels, compact. My horizon was the four walls around me and as far as my skull light could illuminate. Can you imagine coming out into an infinite room, larger than even your imagination. I've never felt so small and insignificant, my task so daunting. But our Master? Didn't even skip a beat, just watched my reaction then took me up this old decrepit tower, like a mouldering basement that got lost and fell towards the sky, so I could see the view. They just watched silently while I absorbed my place in the world. That my Master can observe such a thing as if it were commonplace, then determine to rule it? I saw their ambition from the look in their eye as we stood on that tower. A dream that titanic, to rule not just the deep but the high sky as well? You're drat right I'm going to follow them across that horizon. Besides, I heard there's silver up in those clouds. Who else is going to mine the sky out if not me?

 Coral, the Naga Enchantress quote:High Concept: Puzzle and Trap Enthusiast : (Invoke: I’ve got the perfect answer! Compel: I know we're in a hurry, but I have to investigate!) quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? “Well, I don’t think I’d say I excelled, but everyone praised me, so...” Coral paused and sighed “Let me explain, we had just finished fighting the rhino gang in the vine canyon and everyone was a little bit tired. We went down a staircase deep into the earth, and the next room we entered was a cliff overlooking a big pit filled about halfway with water. In front of us there were slots for four levers, but only one lever was in place. Master pulled it, the water in the pit rose ten feet, he pulled it again, the water fell ten feet.” Coral started to get excited as she described the scenario. “Master sat down and said ‘ping me when u guys figure this out, im gonna go get some ramen.’ Everyone started setting up camp, but I jumped into the pit and started to explore because - water,” She pointed to herself “that’s totally me.” “It looked like I expected; there were pathways exiting the pit at different levels of elevation. The premise was to control the level of the water, explore the uncovered rooms, find the levers hidden inside and bring them back to change the water level again and so uncover more rooms. It was a good dungeon puzzle! But,” her voice started to shift from excitement to something more sullen “as I was exploring what I thought was the bottom floor I saw a small tunnel that lead even further down. I followed it to a really dark chamber. It was hard to see, so I ended up bumping right into a Giant Clam!” At this, Coral held her arms as far apart as she could, then looked at them. “No, bigger than this, big enough to swallow me whole – which it tried to! I dodged away quickly and sung it a lullaby. Luckily my song worked, and as it fell asleep I saw something sparkle in it’s mouth. I snatched the shiny thing from it’s gullet and then swam as quickly as I could towards the surface, which is where I realized my mistake.” She lurched forward in embarrassment, hands covering her eyes, “I had grabbed the final lever! We slotted it in, pulled it, and a hidden door opened the path to the next area. I ruined the whole puzzle!” Coral started to breath deeply, and had to take a moment to collect herself from the traumatic memory, “I offered to bring it back down to the clam so we could do things properly, but everyone told me that wasn't needed.” quote:How did you impress the overlord in doing so? “He was really happy when he came back from ramen. He said that since we skipped so many fights we should definitely have enough healing to beat the dungeon boss.” Coral paused, wondering if there was anything left to add to her story, “Oh, after we took control the dungeon I asked him if I go could back and do the whole room properly. He said yes! It was a lot of fun, but I’m not strong enough to fight the giant clam, so it’s still down at the bottom.” quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? “He seems to be more focused on results than doing things properly, which is fine...” Coral paused and narrowed her eyes, battling internally between the urge to never criticize the overlord and trying to answer the question honestly, “Sometimes he doesn’t seem to realize that the only way to get results is to do things properly, and we waste a lot of time. It’s fine though, really, it’s fine!” quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway?  “I was made to do puzzles. The first thing Master said to me was that he never wants to bother with puzzles again, so I get to do all of them! I love to solve puzzles!” Coral coughs, realizing that answer might’ve been a little too enthusiastic, “And to bolster my allies, debilitate our enemies, scout through river, lake, and ocean, and provide musical entertainment, if need be.” Yami Fenrir posted:After you "solved" the underwater puzzle, the overlord mentioned 'an annoying water temple' and a legendary item, the 'ocarina of time'. Did you find out anything interesting about either of these things? "Yes, and they sound amazing! The water temple is this big palace of puzzles with multiple levels, locked doors, acidic oozes - but," Coral's tail begins to tap excitedly against the floor "best of all is that the water level is changed through the power of song!" "I nearly keeled over when I heard that. Master then told me that when he was younger he visited a land called Highrule, and in Highrule there are magic songs that can manipulate the weather, summon mounts, grow beans, and even control the flow of time! Honestly," Her eyes begin to drift to the floor, "hearing about such wonders made me feel a little envious; my magic is much weaker." Coral pauses for a moment, remembering that the last song she acquired was the 'Ballad of Weapon Durability +1'. "I asked Master if he could show me any of the music he learned, but he just laughed and said 'maybe if i had the ocarina with me lol'. I asked him how he lost such a powerful artifact, and he told me that he became frustrated by the water temple and soon gave away his 'ocarina cart' to a friend. Oh, how impatient and generous an overlord I serve!" "I can't find Highrule on any maps, but I will go there one day and plunder it's secrets! And," she starts to grin, but lowers her voice as if afraid someone will overhear, "I'll use this 'Song of Time' to go back to the water temple in the past, and teach young Master how to appreciate puzzles!" A look of trouble flashes over her face "Although, if Master didn't mind solving puzzles, would he have any reason to create me? Hmm..."

 Gendolfo Merlini Dumbledorium is a human wizard that believes in maximum evocations. He has min-maxed his skill build so that he can cast Pyroclasmic Decimator, an incredibly overleveled fireball, once per day and nearly nothing else. Since he lacks the ability to cast any normal spell he spends most of his time on adventures casting the level-1 magic arrow cantrip, barking orders, and managing consumables. He is... generally overly conservative about item usage. Gen is incredibly proud of being able to cast Pyroclasmic Decimator, and often speaks of 'uploading one-hit-kill footage to my channel'. He absolutely refuses to cast it unless the party is facing the final stage of the final boss in an area, and even then only when he's sure that it'll deal lethal damage. He tries to give off the impression of a venerable sage, but his high pitched voice and general lack of any real plan reduces the effectiveness of his posturing.

Yami Fenrir posted:Katja Caldera Oh, the Order's easy! They're super not picky about new initiates, it's like they'll let any one who just walked into town with nothing but the clothes of their backs. There are loads of places like that in towns, everyone knows that. In fact, the first task the Boss sent me on was joining up! They don't even require that much of their members at first, unless you're one of those guys who just sit at a desk and sign people up all day. And Grandpa's not aaaaaactually my grandpa. His real name is The Greater Devouring Crimson Mist but that's a mouthful. Basically whenever one us Hellkin are created, we're given a full demon lord who lets us tap into a small, small portion of their crazy raid-wiping powers. Grandpa here is just my own unique Incarnation of G.D.C.M., it's got his personality and most of his knowledge and whatnot but he still gets to be his own distinct lifeform. Of course that means he's not the only Incarnation out there, we could totally meet another Hellkin also tapping into G.D.C.M.'s powers. Actually in a pub the other day I heard about how sometimes long-lived Incarnations can start acting different than the demon lord they came from! Maybe someday I'll meet a nerdy Grandpa or a Grandpa who doesn't eat with his hands.

 Overlord Fist-0 is, for want of better words, a reckless idiot. Having spent the majority of his points on minions, he scoured the character creator for the cheapest weapon he could master, and found bare handed fighting. Nobody takes bare handed fighting because, unlike in other games, Eden Online requires you to get within range of your own arms to hit your opponents with it. No problem, Fist-0 thought, I'll just make myself huge, buy some charge moves, and spend the rest of my points on HP boosts and some spells. The combination results in an unorthodox fighting style that in the hands of a more intelligent player would be quite capable on its own. As the overlord usually picks whichever move looks coolest instead, it's only his loyal minions that keep him alive.

Yes, you have heard right, I am indeed a hellhound, and a mighty one at that! 'Tis no jest, I assure you! Still you doubt me!? Grr... fine then! I shall show you that I am not one to be underestimated! Have at the- SPARKLY!!! quote:What part of the dungeon did you excel in taking over? How did you impress the overlord in doing so? Conquering The Clockwork Clocktower was no easy task, I assure you. A combination of moving platforms, ranged enemies, and hidden traps made the climb to the top quite treacherous! Indeed, I have never heard the master utter as many profanities as they did that day, especially when those traps launched us all the way back to the bottom. Master was about ready to give up on the tower, but I spurred them on to continue forth! My words re-invigorated the master, and they were filled with a new-found determination to see this through to the end! And so we continued onwards, conquering the once-dreaded tower, and, thanks to my keen nose, found many of the secret treasures within! My master was very pleased, and indeed, there was much petting that day! quote:And what curious thing did you learn about this seemingly otherworldly being that created you? I know my master very well! What sort of knight would I be if I didn't!? That is why I was shocked when they appeared, and they were not acting like themselves! Everything was different about them, from their voice, to their mannerisms, to even the way they chose to present themselves! Master had been possessed A demon who calls himself "Fred" had taken over their body! I was ready to do battle with Fred the demon, until I heard master's voice. They told me they were "cool with Fred." Well, if the master is "cool" with this Fred, then I, too, shall be "cool" with them! quote:For what purpose did they create you, anyway? Master needed a loyal knight, one that would be able to inspire confidence in all those around them! A warrior with boundless energy! The ultimate "good boy," as the master puts it!

The master and I were traversing through the Lich Yard, and, for a while, it looked like everything was going well. The mobs proved to be no problem, and the puzzles? Pah! My master came prepared with the solution beforehand! We were making good progress through the yard... until I was distracted by a shiny object in the middle of an empty field. I... ran straight for the object, leaving my master to deal with a mob of enemies by themselves. What's more, a giant skeleton warrior popped up from the ground, and was heading straight for the master! I should have rushed to their aid, but I... didn't. I ignored my master in their time of need, and for what? A shiny, worthless pebble. I was scolded heavily afterwords by the master, and I had never felt as much shame as I did that day. I had let the master down, and I knew, I could not let this stand. I had to atone for my misdeeds. I went back to the Lich Yard, alone this time. Most would say that traveling through the yard solo is a fool's errand, and indeed, the journey was a long and arduous, but that did not stop me! My loyalty to my master was more than enough to keep me going! Through sheer determination, I made my way through the yard, until I came face to face with the giant monster that hurt my master, and after a long, hart-fought battle, one in which I barely survived, I managed to fell the beast, and obtain the object that my master so wanted from this place; the Grand Leather Pants of Maximum Comfort! My master was most pleased when I bought them their gift, and they forgave me for my past misdeeds. It was a lot of hard work, but seeing the smile on my master's face made it all worth it!

Hey everyone. Since we didn't have any new interest checks for a while, and all the other apps are either finished or haven't been worked on for a week plus, I've decided to make picks earlier. My picks are: quote:Newbee, Dark Dragon Whelp, played by Tricky Thanks for all the apps, and sorry to those that did not make it. I had a lot of trouble deciding. For those that DID make it - I have a few things I want you to do. A) Post your dungeon parts again, so we can figure out how the dungeon looks like. If you got a suggestion for which floor of the dungeon it should be, voice it. Of course, as long as it makes sense, multiple areas can be on the same level - but some sort of progression will make it easier for you guys to defend it. B) I want you to pick two other players - write me some backstory blurbs. I want you to have befriended one other NPC, and have gotten into a bit of a raffle with another. Think Masks/MH backgrounds. C) Vote for an Overlord! Here are the rules: Everyone gets ONE vote. ONLY the suggestions that made it into picks are valid, and you may NOT vote for yourself. Because I will have the pleasure of playing that dumbfuck overlord, I will also throw a vote in. I am voting for: Her Dark Eminence, Midnight. Because if I'm gonna be incompetent, at least I wanna look pretty.

 Dungeon Part quote:Hidden behind a secret passage three levels into the dungeon, the party found a treasure horde protected by a tribe of curious dog-men. Their excited yips, surprisingly sharp weapons, and endless numbers would have struck down any lesser creation, but how could they hope to match up to my glory? Despite the ambush they caught us in, I was able to clear a path to safety for the Master and draw their attention away while they made their escape. I was unable to follow, unfortunately, so I was forced to confront the horde by myself. It's definitely an underground sort of deal and wouldn't be the first floor, but I'm not sure if it would work more as a side path where all the good stuff gets hidden or a full on floor of the dungeon. Certainly flexible on the specifics! Proposed Backgrounds Percival "Missile" Jasper is a trusted comrade in arms. His healing talents, though of course not needed by one as strong as myself, are most appreciated. Mimi thinks she's the Master's favorite, but she is incorrect. Only one bears the twin marks of the Master's esteem. It is, of course, me! Overlord Vote Pr1nc3_SW@G, known Real Big Jerk.

Currently in pretty crappy condition, but that just means we get to customize it with SWEET LOOT later  Backgrounds Oghrul Skullbasher is an honest sort of orc. For whilst not gentry, and on occasion rougher than necessary, he is trustworthy and the one person here I feel can be depended on to act with something approaching sensibility. It is good I do not need to carry the witless escapades of my other colleagues all by myself. Speaking of witless escapades, the mutt, or, well, 'doggo' as the Master insists they be called named Percival deserves special mention. Nary a day goes by where the infernal thing does not cause undue trouble for me, the dungeon, or our liege. Whether it be stealing the silver cutlery I had meticulously prepared for dinner, or getting drool all over my immaculately polished breastplate, there seem to be few things it won't find a way to ruin. Indeed, if not the Master's attraction to it, I would have skewered it already. But for the Master's sake I abide its continued harrying, with a stiff maxilla. Overlord Vote Midnight since taken Yami voted for her himself, I take he wants to play her the most so sure why not. Theantero fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jan 19, 2017 |
