Horrible Truths Realised

[Soran 11]

((I'm fine with a surprise raid and all the other rules and such provided. Probably be good to get Barry clarified on this too. Hopefully I'll be off the mainland come the 25th for this :P))

[Blundermore 2741]

((Updated Barry is ok with the attack idea and concept, if he wishes to change it though he can still ask me... Adding lym to the group of attackers

Also to add I will need two GMs or three to Mob disguise as Iron Golems to enact the trolls, Urasept may be doing one but has not come back to me yet with "what" he wants to be))

[[ Blundermore, if you have time PM me when / if specific... characters of mine will be put to use, so we can make some RP from ideas we have ]]

[Space 2335]

That's kinda early for a Friday. Can we bump it to 9 GMT? []

[Blundermore 2741]

It's up to barry really.

[Grizzly Druid 67]

Eh sure why not 9 seems alright

Why do you want to be on the attacking side?: Because this seems like it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun, and I want to get in on that. I usually end up playing for the defending side of claims (if at all), so I'd like to take a shot at pillaging, looting, and murdering. See what I've been missing out on. I’ve also been pretty curious about the blood mage faction, and I'd love a chance to rp with you guys.

What RP would you bring to this war claim: Well, I'll try to provide some extra detail in my emotes. I'd be a mindless servant so I guess that's really the most I can do, right? Might also have some amusing banter in store if dread knights are allowed to speak their mind. (Are they?)

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle?: Yup.

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such?: Yes. This will be achieved by... Well, not power gaming I suppose. I'm playing a non-combat character at the moment, and I like to pride myself on not getting carried away and ending up dealing with ban reports. I'll also make sure to put some extra detail into ripping apart defenseless bards, or whatever it is that my character would have the pleasure of doing.

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you?: Yes. I’m not the type of guy to break the rules in the first place, and I understand that it’s completely my fault if I do.

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing: Yes.

Why do you want to be on the attacking side? I wish for a fun RP, And this seems like it would be a lovely event to participate in. And I would be happy to help this flourish.

What RP would you bring to this war claim (I'm not looking for PVP skills... I'm looking for RP.): I've been on this server for a long while, I would like to say I can bring my own flavor of RP to this battle, And my own fun~

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle? Of course, Though, I may ask if another event may require him back?

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such?

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you? (Though in wars certain actions are relaxed, but you are still governed by OOC rules and a few RP rules) Of course, I agree.

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing (which wouldn't make much RP sense) Dread Knight's are bred to follow order's, It would be like a slave smacking his master in the face then leaving, So yes.

Just asking, would it be possible to Role-Play as one of he Trolls?

[Lym 849]

As far as I'm aware, Trolls will be played by GMs in mob disguise (Golems).

Also: You all should become milita men or women, I need more people I can boss around ^_^

MC name: Distuth

Why do you want to be on the attacking side?

Frankly, I'm tired of the war conflicts been going on this server lately. Most of the attacks I've seen occur consist of three lines of roleplay, and then everyone goes and beats on each other until one side stops moving. Then about half the combatants (generally those on the losing side) form up to post a massive ban report on whoever they felt applied improper beatings.

I figure it'd be nice to be part of something that sounds likely to have more roleplay then PVP.

What RP would you bring to this war claim (I'm not looking for PVP skills... I'm looking for RP.)

I'd actually planned on using a character that isn't the strong soldierly type. He's capable of fighting, but his overall skills leave something to be desired. His job is more in the realm of blood gathering.

As it happens, blood is kind of tricky to get out of the human body, at least in quantity. Sure, they'll gush blood for awhile, but once the heart stops beating, the rest of it just kind of sits in the corpse. And getting it out of the corpse after that is just an exercise in frustration. So, to maximise the amount of blood, its generally best to have a skilled specialist do the "butchering" in question. I figured that'd be a nice touch to Blood Mage roleplay for this event. You know, a practical side to the magic.

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle?

Of course. I'm not expecting to be welcomed into the order for this.

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such?

Yes, and by actually developing the character into a realistic personality.. What Ferlian does is a very messy business, seeing as people have to be alive. Keep in mind, Ferlian wouldn't be the guy on the frontlines, going in and dragging people out into the street. His job requires him to be around his equipment. And, if the blood mages have developed to the point where they have equipment like that designed, and people to work it, odds are, Ferlian's been doing this for awhile now. To him, its going to be just another day. I figure his workman attitude towards the whole event will add a subtle sort of horror to the whole thing.

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you? (Though in wars certain actions are relaxed, but you are still governed by OOC rules and a few RP rules)

Agreed. I'll be abiding by the comfort levels of anyone around. Ferlians work is likely to be rather gruesome, but if it bothers someone, it can easily be toned done.

Other then that, I'm not sure what major rules I can break while maintaining character. And I won't be breaking character for any reason on this. Its...kind of a personal sticking point.

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing (which wouldn't make much RP sense)

Well of course I do. Ferlian isn't going to leave his equipment behind where some absentminded idiot can damage it. And if the time comes when he needs to fight...well, he doesn't exactly have the option of running away. I get the feeling the blood mages don't take too kindly to deserters. Or, for that matter, anyone who questions their orders in the slightest.

[Lago 2572]

Just asking, would it be possible to Role-Play as one of the Trolls?

Surely you'll be needed to defend Skravia? (It would be kind of awkward if the Blood Mages march into a near empty city, demand the location of the others from the one guy there, who then points to them all standing in the ranks of the militia? :P)

Seems to be a few Dread Knight misconceptions here. This is the Dread Knight lore from the stickied Blood Mage Lore post, for the reference of those trying to be Dread Knights.

The Dread Knights

The Dread Knights… out of all the creatures, beasts and malcontemplations that plague the halls of Lythien and its’ surrounding landscapes, these barren and gaunt men and women of zeal are the very form of what a soul becomes when it has been trapped and tortured for many years.

Their creation came near to the beginning , after the first emergence of the Bloodmages. These men and women were one of the first few to make their stand, like many against the Bloodmages. Unfortunately for them... they got more than they bargained for. They were rash, some. Even going as far as to challenge Bloodmages in single combat. Going even as far as accepting the terms of combat that the mages gave... “If I was to so win this bout... Your soul will be forfeited to me until release.” So sure were these men and women of their own combat prowess that they accepted without hesitation, and the duel of fates ensued.

Apon loosing the combat, the Mage would perform a rite of sealing apon the unfortunate near death warrior, binding his/her soul to the Bloodmage’s whim and freezing the warrior in place. A gaunt face overtakes their once proud looks as they become living statues. Doomed to watch over the Alters of the creator until needed.

In all retrospect, this is a fate worse than hell itself. The unfortunate Warrior is allowed to effectively “die” a slow and painful death within its’ own sealing’s. Flesh and bone allowing to decay as they stand dormant. But due to the sealings place apon them in life... they do not escape their fate in death. Their souls become bound to the armour they once wore. Even as it rusts and stains with age. Until effectively the Dread knight becomes the armour. The process is a form of “breaking” within its’ own right as well. Turning them till they are nothing more than harsh, life hating drones; “The perfect soldier “it seems.

They hate and, love life with a passion. For they are not truly evil, just lost. They hate those that they once called kin out of jealously, that they should be able to live out their lives to the fullest whilst the Dread knight must live a submissive life as a slave. Bidden to do whatever his/hers masters tell it. But love it also, for they know that deep down, behind all the torment and bloodshed. They know that one day... it shall be life that sets it free from its’ shackles. It shall be life that challenges it to single combat, and it shall be life that slays it.

They are relentless warriors, much like that of the fabled Paladins. Some even say that they are, or at least were paladins. Pushed into service as warriors of undeath. They will make up the main stay of militarial officer might within the Order of blood’s armed forces. Making blunt, horrific decisions that most right minded people would not. For the Bloodmages are still of our kind after all... they still feel emotion of all kinds. Granted there are some among them that have different ideas and morals, but that comes with individuality.

As said before, the Dread Knight is a suite of armour. A walking suite of armour. Hollow within it walks this world as doom driven servants of the Order. So they do not take damage as how any normal person might. They will still feel the pain deep inside of them, that instinctive feeling of still being whole ever so mocks them. To the better part though, they cannot truly be killed by having their helmet taken off through decapitations or being stabbed with sword lunges etc… For if disassembled only slightly, but allowed to endure, the knight, with relentless zeal to carry out its’ master’s orders, shall rise again, rebuilding itself slowly, re-gathering the pieces of armour that make up its’ body and soul. Until it is finally again renewed.

It stands to reason then that the only real effective way to “kill” a Dread Knight is to disable and separate each piece of the Knight. Until you are left with but a head that spits foul contempt’s at your very being. That you are an utter insult and that you should allow him/her to regain himself or herself. It is probably best to just throw this head away (Their insults will most likely become quite annoying...) or perhaps give it to a magic user to try and break the seals and wards apon the armour and release the knight from its’ torment. You could even use it as an insult, sending it back to its’ masters as little more than a head to show that they have truly failed that day.

Why do you want to be on the attacking side? To provide fun and exciting roleplay for the opposing side.

What RP would you bring to this war claim (I'm not looking for PVP skills... I'm looking for RP.) I've been on this server for almost a year now, and I've had nothing but good remarks for my RP as far as I can remember, though I might be wrong.

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle? I do agree to this, unless I am asked to keep him of course.

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such? I agree to this as well and I will do it any way I possibly can.

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you? (Though in wars certain actions are relaxed, but you are still governed by OOC rules and a few RP rules) Absolutely, though I don't foresee myself doing anything against the rules.

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing (which wouldn't make much RP sense)I agree to this as well. The dread knights wouldn't be able to do much on their own anyway if anything.
