The Avalon Chronicles

Saw the email.

Gestalt is interesting. You take two classes and you're treated as having equal levels in both. Rather than adding things together you take the higher value of both in everything. It's a little more powerful than normal, but the economy of actions keeps it from being as much more powerful as it might look at first glance.

Asch's meltdown is definitely adding some interesting drama. :)

Okay so far we have

Time - Ephebe
Death - Krays
Madness - mysterious bad guy
Love - Amada
Darkness - Asch
Creation - Solivala
Song - new guy, Gaelvin
Dreams - new character (DB3)

Still up for grabs:
Fear
Light
Hope (although I have a potential concept for this guy, he's a real jerk)

I'm okay if nobody wants any of those last three but I want to make sure that anyone who wants to play one of them gets the chance. Also if someone else has a concept for Hope I'm happy to step aside. It's not like I don't have enough NPCs already. If nobody takes them Fear and Light are most likely going to end up as allies of Madness.

Whew. Just finished scrambling through the last few pages to catch up... (o.O)

I'm guessing it would be way too cheesy to offer up Will as a candidate. But since Fear is up there, I thought I would humbly suggest its opposite. Fei even has green fashion accessories now, even if it is only coincidence...and a much longer potential lifespan than most other humans, if that's a sticking point (^.^)

(Though I suppose one could argue that he could fit Light as well, given his association with a sun god.)

Are we going to be able to hold up our rings and call a powerful outsider? :D

I suggest Courage for Fei.

"You have a warrior's spirit."
"No I don't."
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes."
"Are you still going to fight?"
"... Yes."
"That is a warrior's spirit."

This came from a book called Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. It's on my list to suggest to people.

+1.

The paperwork is a bit of a headache to keep track of, but once you have it, it's a great variant. I use it pretty much exclusively in my RL games (and because my wife won't go back to the standard way, but who's counting, neh? ^-^)

And here I have tried my level best to make sure that Fei does not use contractions in any of his dialogue. ;D

In all seriousness though - as I haven't ever thought of Fei as overly courageous, I guess that means it's a good fit too. That dialogue would be pretty spot on...

Not courageous? Who took on a big blue creature knowing that doing so might set off his kinetic boom?

Not courageous? Who took on a big blue creature knowing that doing so might set off his kinetic boom?

Fair point. Though one could argue that example as being more reckless than courageous (but that would be the masters of his order talking...)

Sometimes Recklessness equals Courage! ;)

Yeah, I have to agree that Courage is a good fit for Fei. :)

See? Even the lady who won't let me have matches anymore agrees with me!

[Chuckle]

Alright, alright, I believe you - it sounds like a good fit. "Courage the Not-So-Cowardly Monk" it is then ;P

You should be really courageous... and sneak me some matches. ;P

Can I bring in Gaelvin now, I have a good entrance for him. XD

Sure, go right ahead.

Also, with all of these brand new Champions, I have to start thinking about what happened to their predecessors....Apparently Madness has been a busy, busy boy. :)

Apparently, since craziness seems to have spread to Asch...

Enter Plane Song Gaelvin, was the intro good or lack luster? ;P

I liked it up to the part about the crystal guitar. I like mine better.

If you got dubs on certain colors let me know and I will avoid them. It can change at will so he switches alot.

I'm not possessive of any colors, so feel free as far as I'm concerned.

I'd say Asch is having a bad day.

Also I like the intro.

As the person with one of the most unassuming game entrances to date, I cannot make a qualified judgment on that... ;D

I thought the entrance was good. :)

I'm wondering if I should help Ephebe recover from her latest act of recklessness.

The whole white fire covering her body thing didn't came from me, did it? When I helped keep her alive long enough for Solivala to remove the impurities?

She's unconsciously modeling the form of the energy from that, yeah. Not that it's a big leap. It's a mix of fire, force, and positive energy. If she could learn to leave that last one out she'd stop putting herself in danger.

So all we have to do is figure out how to keep the positive energy from hurting her...

What if we equal it out with negative? I negates the extra positive energy.

I don't think it's hurting her per se - it may be that the positive energy infused in her has linked up with her own life force. She needs to learn when to switch that 'off' so she doesn't drain her own life energy to fuel her abilities.

Or I just haven't been paying attention and missed something entirely. Don't mind me... (^-^)

You realize that still sounds like it's hurting her, right?

Thus the per se in my statement, young grasshopper... (-_-)

My angle is that she's weakening herself by tapping into something most beings can't touch (and for good reason). She's essentially giving her own life away when she pulls too much from this energy. In that light, she's not so much 'damaging' herself as she is 'diminishing' herself. Kind of like the elves in Lord of the Rings. (-Ish.)

(But, of course, all of this is gobbledygook as we don't know what Lyn's plans are for Ephebe's new powers. I'm just thinking out loud here)

:)

Yes, Dalesman got it exactly.
And no, negative energy won't help with this since it just drains her life energy away in a different fashion. And this is why both the positive and negative energy planes are usually fatal places to visit.

How about cuffs like Fei's, that hold life energy siphoned off and then reintroduce it into her system?

Yes, Dalesman got it exactly.

[Does quick Happy Dance of Winning at his desk, then stops as people start to stare at him funny. Again.] =^.^=

Gaelvin may be able to help, songs are all about harmony so maybe his power could help her find that balance she needs. He could find her "song" is off when he meets her. But thats all in the realm of the DM.

Really she just needs to learn to control the flow of energies enough to stop putting positive energy into her attacks. Since the positive energy is tied to her life energy if it stays put she'll stop draining bits of her life away. Control is really the key thing for her since she currently has none.

Gaelvin may be able to help, songs are all about harmony so maybe his power could help her find that balance she needs. He could find her "song" is off when he meets her. But thats all in the realm of the DM.

It's a good thought, but I don't think fits in this case. She isn't off balance so much as in need of learning how to control the flow of energies in her body.

Montage training it is then. I need to go find a song...

Admin-Bot delivers schedule changes to Ephebe and Fei. Both have been enrolled in a new elective course - PEMC101: Personal Energy Management and Control.

The good news? Small class size.
The bad news? It replaces your Lunch period... (;_;)

;P

But...but...Missing a meal?????!!!! ;P

Not exactly how I wanted to give the cooks a break, but it works...

Its over man, game over, Ephebe is going to eat Fei ahhhhhhhh man. XD

Could not help myself :)

Nice.

But you have absolutely no idea how much gastro-intestinal distress Fei would visit upon any creature that tries to eat him. Trust me on this. (o.O)

Realy!? After all this time gaming with us, you aren't expecting to type at least one weird sentence a day?

I thought that was, like, a rule or something by now...

Damn campaign by-laws mess me up every time.... ;D

Hmmm…what will the boss think when he hears about this latest incident…*Is imagining dodging lots of bullets*

OK lycanthrope...
Not champion of fear yet...
monk/ninja were-mole...
modeled after bakuryu from Bloody Roar...
His stealth wont be as good as kitties (LOL) but it'll be good.
His usual tactics are ambush but can straight up fight.
As a were mole, his claws are rediculous (i'll give him one size higher unarmed damage) and he'll have standard anime ninja tricks, which are pretty well portrayed by the UC class...
PIC

Heh, my dad had to deal with moles at his job once. He said the easiest way to take care of them was to take a screwdriver to a mole hill, wait for it to move, and then stab straight down.

This could be fun.

LOL did he ever see a puff of smoke and stab a log? ;)
