I should probably say that Dragon's Prophet is kinda, meh. Also, yeah lately TSW clothing has gone over to the crazy side.

All right let's see if this turned out correctly. Also Mtoto, I suggest you also add a common list of Traits, both negative and positive, especially if such things would modify the outcome of the rolls in someway. I also added some special notes in this character profile that you might want to address for future reference. [align=center][/align] Character Name: Tyonis Trueblade (Magstrom) Armor Type: No Armor Total # of items: 19 Weight: +1 Inventory: Weaponry: (8 Points) Type XIIa. Longsword (Enchanted) – Main-hand/Two-hand. A longsword meant for powerful, sweeping blows and armor piercing thrusts. In duels, this type of sword functions best on the parry and riposte. One uses the blade's superior length to meet the opponent's blow at the height of the swing and deflects the force of the strike using the full length of the blade. After, one can counter with either a devastating thrust (against medium-heavily armored opponents) or a horizontal slash. Because of its speed and reach, it is extremely effective against heavy weaponry, such as greataxes, greatswords and halberds. Normally strapped across the back in a plain leather scabbard. The blade’s core serves as magical foci for Fire/Lightning elemental magic. Knight’s Sword (Enchanted) – One-hand/Off-hand. A mid-length blade that prioritizes speed and accuracy while balancing offense and defense. Although reliable in mass-melees, this type of sword is more suited to smaller skirmishes and duels. Since its attack power is much lower than a longsword, it is not very effective against heavily armored adversaries. Normally belted at the hip in a plain leather scabbard. The blade’s core serves as magical foci for Fire/Lightning elemental magic. Fang Blade –* Retractable dagger blade hidden under the left sleeve. There is a small chord tied to the ring finger that serves as a triple-condition trigger to prevent the blade from releasing during inconvenient times. When the hand is flexed down and the arm is cocked back as if to punch, the firing wheel is cocked. When the wrist is flexed up, the blade will release under it. If necessary, the triggers can be reset by relaxing the hand. Because of the of the springs, it is difficult to retract the blade during combat. By pressing and twisting on the rotation wheel, the blade can be forcefully disengaged. To retract normally, one must turn the firing wheel by hand. Used for assassinations, surprise attacks, or hand-to-hand combat. Wolf Claw –* Retractable dagger blade hidden under the heel of the right shoe. Like the Fang Blade, this dagger weapon utilizes a triple-condition trigger with a chord tied to the toe to prevent any unintentional releases. One preps the release by tapping the top of the foot on the ground or on a hard enough surface to proc the trigger. If necessary, the trigger can be reset with another tap. After, one tightly chambers the leg for a hook-kick or close-range axe-kick. On the kick extension, the blade is released. It is difficult to retract the blade during combat, so it can be disengaged by striking a trigger at the ankle. Used for assassinations, surprise attacks, or hand-to-hand combat. Attire: (5 Points) Half-Gauntlets (Black) – Finger-less leather gloves with a single plate of folded steel over the back of the hand.** Rainmaker’s Tunic (Blue) Velveteen Kecks (Black) Toadskin Shoes (Brown) Leather Survival Belt Sundries: (6 Points) Opiate Extract – A pinky-sized dose of narcotic that serves as a powerful but addictive painkiller.*** Utility Knife – Multipurpose working knife mainly used for dressing game (non-combative). Stored in the Leather Survival Belt. Water Canteen – Filled with diluted liquor. Stored in the Leather Survival Belt. Traveling Rations – Stored in the Leather Survival Belt. Climbing Rope – Stored in the Leather Survival Belt Flint and Steel – Stored in the Leather Survival Belt. Weapon/Spell Affinity: Sword: S (4) Shield: C (1) Dagger: B (2) Hand to Hand: B (2) Thaumaturgy: C (1) Elemental Affinity: 2 points to spend. Fire: A (4) Lightning: A (4) Armor Affinity: Medium Armor: D (1) Light Armor: D (1) No Armor: B (3) ===== *Possible modifier to attack roll if used in a surprise attack? Combination of Hand-to-Hand and Dagger skill, or just one? **Does this count as Light/Medium/No Armor? ***Since it is a powerful painkiller, can it grant "fake-hitpoints" that fade over a short amount of time in mid-battle? Also it cannot mend crippling wounds like sliced hamstrings, etc.

Tyonis expressing interest! In fact I'm making a character sheet now!

Great to see some unique art styles being showcased. Can't wait to see what you and Ship come up with next!

I personally feel that it's as terrible as it has been at launch. Everyone's still playing sexy Harry Potter, and RP typically just consists of lots of hanging out in a bar, talking about how demon possessed they are. (True story) It's a large reason why I don't really play much at all anymore. Yeah I definitely understand. Had to shove past all the tavern/bar RP fluff before you could get to the real meat of the community.

Ah that sounds pretty damn sweet... I should get back to it. The game itself, felt a little grindy for me though. Probably because I did the quests in beta, and then really didn't want to do them again in live. That and the PvP was a little disappointing, as it seems I got experience without any actual growth. But with a recommendation like that, how can I not go play ... Yeah the lore pieces are all a pretty worthwhile read too. The poetic writing style shoots for the sun but still hits the moon - the tone and pacing really set the stage of the game. There was a server wide RP event hosted by the very same Cthulhu DJ bar owners last Friday, now that I think about it. http://www.tsw-rp.com/news There's the TSW-RP community website. EDIT: ALSO, yeah the game is STILL really grindy.

Yeah at least I think so. Once you move past the regular bar RPs and insert yourself into the on-going stories or create your own, you can experience how immersive it actually is. The central concept of "Everything is True" holds... true even to the RPing community. For example, my character is a Japanese, demon-hunting master swordsman/onmyouji who is often consulted on matters pertaining to the supernatural for one reason or another. There is another character who moonlights as a bar owner, but is actually a time-traveling, dimension-hopping eldritch abomination in human form that takes payment through interesting tidbits of information and stories, making him/it a legitimate source of information on the secret on-goings of other players and Cabals (guilds). Whoa. Point is, yes, it's matured ALOT.

Heard great stuff about Wildstar, so I've been following that. Downloaded and installed Dragon's Prophet because I've heard it's like Pokemon but with dragons. Gonna play that and see for myself in the next few days. Age of Wushu is fun, but super-complex. After spending days and days of reading guides, I still don't understand much of the game. I poke at it now and then to grind skill levels. The Secret World is one of the most immersive games I have ever played and the RP community is really strong. So even though I have finished most of the content, I log in for RP events and general chatting. PSO2 is a pretty fun time-sink. If you have friends with you, you can burn lots and lots of days just grinding out dungeons. League of Legends is still much of the same.

According to FF wiki, Scholars are like Red Mages without the sword/dagger skills or the armor flexibility. In exchange, Scholars have a wider range of Black and White Magic spells than Red Mages.

Awesomeeee!!!! This only fuels my hope that one day I will get /foldsarms and /handsbehindback

Pacing of the sword and lance skills are pretty accurate, which was surprising. I was expecting to see crazy, unrealistic flurries of attacks that make bullets look like they were standing still. Comparatively, Monk animations are really, REALLY slow - only a little faster then the axe and lance animations. This is counter-intuitive since heavy weapons should theoretically have much slower follow-up strikes due to inertia. And magic is... well... magic. Meh, it's all phinal phantasy, anyway. Screw physics.

Wow that is a pretty bird

You can ask Rhio. He writes FFXIV articles for massively.

Tyonis: Grey Wolf "Grey" is a reference to his morality. "Wolf" is the motif the character was initially based on.

Tyonis: A dark brown dire wolf!

Yeah sure, I don't mind RPing your character's assassin/rival. And you are totally right about Tyonis not caring about the details of a job, especially one that promises a good fight or two - that in itself would be considered a type of payment to someone like Tyonis, who enjoys testing the sharpness of his fangs.

Expressing interest in counting Tyonis in. PM me the details if you are interested!

Random question: Isn't there a giant wall separating Ala Mhigo from the rest of Ezorea?

Although he is capable of subversive activities, Tyonis qualifies more as a mercenary than a hitman. Still, he has experience with assassinations. What did you have in mind?

My opinion on the current system: Need more scars, facial hair, and hairstyles! Also, WTB names for all the obscure colors they provide us so that we can understand the subtle differences between black/white/silver/red/yellow and the other five blacks/whites/silvers/reds/yellows.

Tyonis will be 34 no time skip. His brother Valen will be 24 with no time skip. New character concept will be around 22-27.

Don't be nervous! RPing is really fun once you get into it! If nothing else, you can peg me or another else to RP 1 on 1 and we can work something out to get you used to it!

I feel a song coming on... I'M ON A BOAT!

More SWTOR RPers! Welcome to the RPC! What kind of characters did you RP in SWTOR??!?!? I went with the a-typical evil Sith warlord. Was thinking about reprising the character personality in ARR if I would have to reroll on a new RP server!

Well Lars allow me to say: Your avatar is win.
