Lostar

Rumors abound along the streets of Kugane, that if a man were to ask the right questions, share a drink with the right people in the local Hostelry, or perhaps he's just wandering down Shirogane's idyllic shores where he would discover a gathering of men and women from all walks of life caught in merriment, drunkenness, gambling, and fisticuffs. It's said that this gathering comes twice per moon at the behest of a man named Vicktis Leeward though little is known of those that orchestrate the gathering, this much is known to all who gather at the moving venue; just beyond the reach of the Sekiseigumi. The band of brawlers always seem one step ahead of the law since the last time they were raided for their illegal assembly. Gold and glory await those willing to risk their neck The Bloodshore Brawlpub is an event inspired by similar events held on Balmung Server of Final Fantasy XIV -- a bi-weekly gathering of fighters, brawlers, and ne'er-do-wells to roll in the dirt and generally exact mayhem to the amusement of gathered spectators and gamblers. The fights held therein are considered no-holds-barred, and all that is outlawed is the usage of weapons and magic, and death. Combatants have been known to lose eyes and fingers, pride and dignity to the bloody ring. While ultimately, the injuries taken by each combatant are up to the player, the outcome of each attack is decided by opposing rolls of dice; due to the structure of the event, no character sheets are required, making it easy for combatants who have never participated to jump in on the event. The dice element helps to ensure fair fights while still keeping things easy and accessible. Those who would rather not fight are encouraged to spectate and place bets upon the outcomes. We have set up house in the Discord Server (Link below) with a roll bot and separate channels for dice combat as well as Brawl-related chatter. Request the Brawler role for access! Bloodshore Brawlpub's Discord Server Date and Time [FIRST EVENT WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE! There will be NO EVENT until we fill our roster] Times will be determined when we fill out the roster. Location [Mateus Shard] The Bloodshore Brawlpub is located the shores of Shirogane; Just follow the sound of shouting and the scent of blood, you'll find your way soon enough past the Akanegumo Docks. And please make sure you're not followed. Staff Overseer :: Unknown Brawlers :: Vicktis Leeward Healers & Medics :: Katsurou Daki [Pending] Waitstaff :: [Vacant] Bookies:: [Vacant] Rules Combat is held between two or more combatants; opposed dice rolls are to be held in the Bloodshore Brawlpub's Discord Server and rolls held elsewhere will not be counted. Please keep chatter within the room to a minimal level; spectators are welcome to be privvy to the rolls as well, should they wish to join the room. Each combatant rolls for initiative -- the command to roll is !r 1d20. The highest roll wins The attacking player writes their emote in General, preceded with a ">>" in order to set the emote apart from the general chatter. Once they have posted, they roll the die -- !r 1d20 The defending playing rolls their die to defend -- !r 1d20. If the defender rolls higher than the attacker, they have successfully avoided the attack either in part or in full; a lower roll, however, means that the attack was successful. In the event of a tie, the roll is awarded to the defender. After determining the result, the defender then posts to show the effect of the attack, and levy their own in response. The attacker and defender switch roles and repeat, starting with the attacker's roll. The defender is now on the offensive and the attacker is defending. The first person to win three contests wins the match; remember that it isn't "first to three" in character. The losing character will be KO'd, submit, or tap out on their third loss as determined by the character's player. We do this so as to keep fights relatively short. Special Rules Criticals: In the event of a critical success (natural 20) on an attack, unless the defender rolls the same, the attacker gets a +5 modifier on their next defense roll (!roll 1d20+5). The attack succeeds and there should be homage considered to its impact when the defender is scripting their failed defense. Other Considerations: You should know there is a good chance for serious injury but it is also up to each person to decide just how impacted their characters are. There are, of course, magical remedies that could hasten recovery or perhaps you'd like your character to suffer through a longer healing process (or not heal at all). The choice is yours.

Connections Club: Fellowship: "And until our paths collide at the next bloody tide"

I'm certainly taking all this up for consideration. I'm thinking first I'll join the discord and see what connections can be had. I am not one to turn down Discord RP either.

I see. Well, if I happen to not find at least a few others to weave story with here in Siren I will certainly have to make that leap though it is far from ideal.

It's fun starting a new game but after a week or so of not really finding anyone to connect with; it starts wearing on you. True, I have bumped into a few kind souls but being the generally shy person I am near the beginning of any impromptu contact, our meetings were short and sweet. I've called Guild Wars 2 and Black Desert Online my home for so long (less so with the latter) and though I am not entirely abandoning Guild Wars 2 I have neglected my first love of RPGs for long enough and so I wished to give this Final Fantasy MMO a good honest try. Thus far I have been charmed by the game that I purchased it and even nabbed the collector's edition upgrades. On that thought, I've a quick offer to make. Seeing that I will likely be involving myself with this title for a good long while and I have yet to get past the one month subscription, I am still open to using someone's referral so you can get your chocobo feathers and I, whatever goodies I've read about while skimming the recruit-a-friend page. Just message me in-game. Perhaps I'm shamelessly allowing this to be a chance to make another connection. I'm ussually on one of the three characters listed below. Anyroad, I am seeking RP connections on the Siren server. I understand that it is not the main hub for roleplay activity but Siren is one of my favorite espers and both Gilgamesh and Balmung have remained off limits since I began. I daresay I have little lore knowledge about this particular Final Fantasy realm to flaunt as I am still learning as I go along, so please do excuse any slips. I'm rather easy going when it comes to being corrected on such errors. For the moment I have three characters open to interaction. http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1743361/pics/original/3842151.jpg[/img] [align=right]Peneli Valoneli [/align] He sometimes goes by the name "Pen" as he's often seen scribbling in his books. His aspiration is in the arts though such was stunted by Peneli's Nald'Thal fearing parents that only sought to do what they felt was best as they were concerned their only son wouldn't have two gil to rub together and end up hawking his mediocre pieces on Pearl Lane if they were not vigilant. Needless to say, their worries were not taken into consideration and one might note the young dunesfolk Lalafell now walks more closely with Oschon as he seeks his inspiration to create that one great masterpiece that would surely put the minds of his family at ease. Whether it be in one of his songs or paintings, by the twelve, he is determined. He now resides in Gridania where he's been introduced to the bow and arrow.

Nor has he been much for talking about his past, instead imbibing in a strongly scented apple brandy at the Quicksand. Few have managed to get him to do anything productive, and certainly not without a snarl, and those who have brought him back to health are quickly becoming impatient of his useless presence. Tis not long before he's dragged out by his tail.

On a good day nary a pocket he passes goes unpinched. Originally he hailed from a modest fishing village that no one had heard about and should they make their way down the Bloodshore they would find no evidence of the village having ever existed. More OOC I'm an older gamer, in my mid thirties. My availability is in the evenings after 9pm. Name is Stephan and I am open to nearly all forms of RP except perma-death.
