Remember, I was Bryn, so I have some faith in her. But Sarah...............well, that's future plans. ;D

and i have faith in Bryn too and do not worry she will manage to ...um dunno . i do not think Sarah deserves to die .

*chuckles* The first character I ever created for an RPG was an original character I planned to become a baddy because she had a little brother who had been killed and thus she would be driven with the thought for revenge. But the chicky developed a head of her own and never became a true baddy.

So nili you seem to rpg so many characters before, do not ya?
In fact I can not deal with the idea of Sarah being good and bad at the same time. She seeks revenge for her husband-to be. So why she had to be evil ?

[Sinbad]

Nah, not many, just three actually.

Hm, I like the concept of a character being a mix between good and evil. Cause Bryn, if Sarah seeks revenge and that revenge maybe blinds her towards other things so she becomes a hateful and hard person who is reckless, but yet she has a soft side that she doesn´t show to the outside or something like that, then it means she isn´t entirely good nor entirely evil.
Actually, characters that are on the brim between good and evil are rather fascinating to play, because they are more multilayered than a character who is just perfectly good or just entirely evil.
But that´s just my opinion of course.

Right. Same concept when I thought of Turok being good, but after the death of his wife, turned evil. And Bryn was evil at first like her father, but after being taken up by DimDim and the fact that she forgot everything after she was hit, she became good. Later on, I planned that Bryn would have to face all the evil she had done in the past. And same with Sarah. She will pursue Bryn, but what would happen when she finds Rumina? Both sisters attacked her village.

I have to thank George Lucas for giving me the Good/Evil idea. ;D

[19101989]

@sinbad:and I perfectly got your point. This is human being. They are a mixture of evil and goodness. And no body is perfect in both sides.
But at the same time there are some principles that help guide the people to their way. There is the mind which by its guide man can know what is right and what is wrong. I know that I have to seek revenge from the people who caused me harm, but at the same time I used to be good and believe in the principles of not killing innocents and not stealing, not burning towns or villages during my seek so why I will do it now. But its mody,s character and he has the full right to do what he needs with it .
I just do not like her to be so evil as in that case that means she and Bryn have to fight and either Bryn will defeat her or Sarah will defeat Bryn.

[Sinbad]

Bryn: Sure, usually you have a sort of "moral guide" as you will, your consciousness. But depending on how life turns for you, this moral compass might go awry. As is stated in Sarah´s bio, she "became bitter" which would explain how she´s intended to be a torn character. The way we deal with life and fate depends a lot on how we cope with bad times. You can either become a better person dealing with a tragedy or you can become bitter.

As for the fighting: could be, yes, but don´t fear for Bryn. As the rules say, tehre is no killing other characters without the player´s permission anyways Fights happen in game at times, it´s what makes them even more thrilling

alex: On the fights, Nili sent me an example.

Let me see if I can find an example for you… oh right, here we go. It´s an exerpt of a thread from another board where a couple, Shade and Gambit are boxing against each other (they had a stressy day and sometimes they just are weird that way ) The fandom is X Men, Gambit is a canon character, Shade is mine. Gambit, as a canon character, has a huge advantage against my Shade, because he´s very athletic, (which means he will receive less punches and deliver more if he decides to) but still it can work as an example. Here is how a fight like that works. You will notice that neither me nor Gambit´s player has problems with the rule:


GAMBIT
The shade of a grin still remained on Gambit's face as he focused on Shade's movements. She was really getting into the mood for some actual competition against him, and he really liked that. He could tell how tense she'd become after the bar incident, so she could definitely display some angry energy here and he was all for it. Now it was time to become a punching bag that fought back, and he blocked and responded to every single move she made.
They must've looked rather strange from the side, with him being a cruiserweight and her a featherweight at most. He hardly looked like he was her coach, either.

SHADE
Shade was getting more and more into a fighting mood, part of her smirk still there but mostly hidden behind a concentrated and somewhat wild expression. She shook her head slightly, trying to shake back a strand of hair that had fallen into her face and was starting to annoy her, then swished it behind her ear with a glove quickly. She kept lightly on her feet, never taking an eye off Gambit who was making things considerably more difficult for her now. So far, she took his blows as they came and tried to block as much as she could.
Some of the men who had been standing around chatting, had turned their heads by now, watching during their conversations or looking at the two of them with some interest, but Shade didn´t notice. She did another step to the right, quicker than her usual hopping around and swung her fist again in a short but fierce blow directed at Gambit´s side.

GAMBIT
Balancing his agility with his desire to give Shade a hope that she actually stood a chance against his reflexes, Gambit didn't dodge the blow, but just shifted his body a bit - enough for the blow to lose most of its impact. She could be a considerable opponent to someone without mutation-enhanced physical abilities or extensive training, so he was probably a bad choice here, even if challenging.
"I'm just warmin' up, chere," he informed her, swinging his arm a tad slower than he could've done, to deliver a punch on her jaw, heavy enough to give her just an idea of how a blow like this one would feel in a combat situation.

SHADE
It wasn´t the first blow on the jaw she got in her life - another reminder of how the fun old days had been and a floating image of her mother entered her memory, scowling at her for ruffling with her friends. She had tried to avoid the hook but it hadn´t worked and she let out a slight growl before she turned her head. Years back she would have abandoned any style and just start some wrestling, pulling of hair and scratching included. And, if the opponent had been someone she knew back then, she might also have used her powers, but that was nothing she considered right now. Not after they had gotten into a fight for being mutants some minutes ago.
"Who tells you same doesn´t go for me?" she gave back, once more intensifying her assault on Gambit. She was slowly getting the hang of it now and now that her undirected anger was channeled she could concentrate on the effect of her blows more instead of just beating and boxing without much direction. She raised her defenses again as she continued with strong little fist punchs going for his side and shoulder in turn, to avoid another blow at her jaw, then, without warning, swung her left hand, aiming for Gambit´s jawline from below.

GAMBIT
Gambit felt rather confined here, it was easier in a martial art sparring situation where there were many more means to avoid a blow. He couldn't duck or do a backflip here, and after blocking most of her other punches that looked like she was pointedly boxing his gloves, he did get a blow in the jaw. "Dat be more like it," he smirked after he turned his head straight again. He made a few small steps to the side, holding his fists on the level with his face, protecting himself from her. "Oh no, je t'en prie, don't beat Remy t' a pulp, please..." he mock-begged her, knowing that his mocking tone would result in an even harsher assault.

I will be more like Gambit, because I am taller and quicker than you, Bryn. But you have magic. So it kind-of evens out.

[Scratch]

@ sarah: I dunno, with Sarah's head being locked up in a prison of delirious revenge, she may have forgotten about Rumina. But when she sees the sorceress' face again, Sarah might as well hunt her down too XD

And I found a name consistency typo. Instead of "While Bryn was rounding up some slaves, she encountered Callisto's husband."; replace Callisto with Sarah. Though you should know

[Sinbad]

Sarah: Yup. This example was also mainly meant as an illustration why rp-ing is perfectly possibly without us being allowed to give our characters the possibility to decide on other characters (such as being allowed to decide whether a blow will hit)

As this example shows there are some punches Shade doesn´t avoid, but these are smaller punches, nothing bad. Later in that thread (I just sent you an excerpt) when they got really wound up, he really got into the mood and swung at her nose. Since my character was already rather powered out I picked that moment to have her stumble to her knees and thus avoid him more or less accidentally breaking her nose.


*is kinda proud that her beloved Shambit is used as an illustration*

I was thinking that at the age, Rumina and Bryn would not bother to tell their names. Therefore, the only way Sarah recognizes Bryn and later Rumina is by appearance and possession of magical abilities.

Well, what you know? Looks like I am in love with Callisto. ;D I would love seeing her picture all the time.

And thanks for pointing out.

I agree with Nili here, a human being is a mesh of good and evil and life influences with side has more "pull" over the other.

So, while Sarah and Maeve might be "evil" due to their need for revenge against the Daughters of Turok, they are both equally good because they can love others and help others who need the help.

Opposite, the Daughters of Turok might be "evil" for the Dark magic their father taught them, but their love for each others as sisters will even them out.

But don't forget....

Rumina uses Dark/black Magic; "evil" has a bit more "pull" over her.

Likewise, Maeve uses Light/white Magic so "good" has a bit more "pull" on her.

Bryn is the wildcard there as both sides are yanking on her at the same time it seems now in the RPG. Her dark past has returned and will conflict with the good she has been exposed to and done in the past year.

****************************

@sarah, you need to stop telll others how the characters will develop though. Maeve might not be the vengful angry chik you view her as as RL Maeve might have her respond a bit differently....likewise RL Rumina, RL Sinbad, RL everyone might have their characters take on lives of their own and go different ways.

The story might develop in a completely different way from what each one of us are imagining. Who is to say what'll happen?

[Firouz]

For all we know, Doubar might kill in cold blood when all these people gang up on Bryn wanting their revenge for the past they suffered because of what she had done. (Shrugs)

(kidding Doubar! ;D )
