Guild-system stuff. Setting this bad boy up.

The only race I've super thought about are the Humans.

Humans being the base class. Then having upgrades of:

Weapon's Specialist
Degen (Can be renamed. The magic-using people.)
Chimeras (Can be renamed. Half-human half-other race of animal-people._

The latter would be things like Lycans [wolf], Vampires [bat], Mermaid [fish] and etc . . . They'd be the result of government experiments, basically for combating the animal-race of people. (Which also need to be named.)

Okay I'm sorry to already jump off track but literally the second I woke up this morning I had two pretty random thoughts.

The first is that... I think it might be better if we made all the guild topics through guild NPC accounts. That way if the guild ever got huge like BE did, we wouldn't have to worry about who made threads, so pretend "Evil Member A" gets demoted to member. Since he made the class threads, he goes through and deletes all the stuff in them out of spite since he can still edit them! But if NPCs had made it, no one can but the mods and whoever is on the NPC account. And take for example how we were going to implement temporary bans in BE. You do something bad in the OOC, you're banned from the OOC for three days. That was good, except for that I made the OOC, and at the time of it's implementation I was trying to gtfo of BE, so it really wasn't working too well. If NPCs made those more "important" threads, we could temp-ban bad people by blocking them on the NPC account for a few days.

And the other thing (which I promise is 100% random) was... if you wanted the guild to be even mildly item-oriented, we could have monthly artifacts. I only use the term "artifact" to show that they'd be important in the sense that they'd be limited; power-wise and name-wise has no connection to artifacts in BE. Anyway, they'd be for sale for a limited time each month and everyone could buy 1 if they wanted to, but they'd be really expensive. Kind of just a "hey, I got this from this month! I've been here this long!" sort of thing. Like the monthly collectables from Gaia. << Don't judge me.

Anyway the first thing I feel is kind of important because you've already broken it (IF it sounds like a good idea, which I think it does sooo I'm biased) but it can be corrected easily. The second idea I'm just tossing up so I don't forget it; I can bring it back up when we get into the more delicate parts of the guild.




So anyway~ Classes! I like humans.

I can live with Degen but Chimera always makes me think of robots... and these people are more like biological hybrids, not robot hybrids... I think? I don't know, I suppose names really aren't that important, but they bother me sometimes, I can't help it.

So would the Chimera sub-class have its' own sub-sub-classes, then? Like, "Chimera-Lycan", or "Chimera-Mermaid"? Or would you just be able to freely transform any way you wanted to?

Also I'm confused, actually. Are Chimera's and "animal-people" two different things? Because the way you wrote it makes it sound like they are, but the descriptions of the two make it sound like they're not.

"human-animal hybrids." "animal-people."

Aaah. That could work, most definitely. We'll have to change the password every time someone got demoted, though. If the password was open mod-knowledge. But I imagine it could just be given to a few people.

The item deal could be worked in very well, also. I'd like to have a more significant shop-system here. Not member-run but the guild-run shops actually be . . . worth something and updated semi-regularly. Same with a monster-system and stuff like crafting/farming/harvesting and junk. More interactive and not just "GIT STRUNG AND FITE!". I like that BE's veering away from that, and I'd like to build this guild on a more broad and interactive basis.

Why the crap does 'Chimera' make you think of robots? ._.
It makes me think of a Chimera . . . the animal, you know? Amalgamation of a lion, snake, goat and bird thing? Where the crap did you get robot from? xD

Names are also all subject to change.

The Chimera's not a subclass, though. It's like an upgrade. Humans can become those things listed.

A) You stay normal and just focus on weaponry. (I'd like some other 'normal' upgrades to Humans, too.

B) You have special magic powers and are a Degen~ (I'll get into explaining how later.)

C) You're a government experiment or were bitten/scratched by one when they were transformed and become one.

Chimeras think more as a Lycan. Human, but they can turn into a full-on werewolf. And when human they also have heightened senses.

Think of the 'animal-people' as like . . . A wolf that walks on two legs and speaks english. I sort of want to be really specific about them or not have them at all, 'cause it's not at all supposed to be like . . . furries. But it is . . . if that makes sense. Like, they technically count as that, but I'd want them to look cooler. D;

Ha.
PostPosted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:14 pm


Isn't there a robot called Chimera? I don't know.

NPC accounts would be captain and VC knowledge, I'd imagine.

For shops YES, I like guild shops. And maybe let members set up little shops that sell stuff they find in the RP? Like from monster drops and stuff.

You cannot make furries cool no matter what you do, I'm sorry.

Going to change a bit the basis of the guild. Even more vagueness~!

Butche'.

Human Class.
Hybrid Class.
Demon Class.
Savior Class.

I need to come up with some specific stuff.

I'm thinking about having multiple-area leveling up systems working in conjunction for optimized characterization.

So you'd have class tiers. (Think BE with: Base > Upgrade > Prestige > Leg. Something like that. Real basic levelage stuff.)

We'd also work with stats a bit. But not as in BE's there'd likely be main stats (which would cost more to upgrade) and secondary stats for misc. sorts of things.

Also. There'd be job/weapon-leveling you could do as well. Things such as: Swordsmanship, Gunsmanship, Crafter, etc . . .

As far as ability-gain goes, I'd like this guild to divert from the math-intensity of BE and focus a bit more on logic and creativity.

But with that, comes a need for responsible mods and a fair system of approval as to avoid arguing and such. I'd also like to avoid "I don't know the rules~!" complaints. : P

Probably going to invite some more people in for input at some point, too.
PostPosted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 12:16 pm


Duuuuuude. I just had the wildest idea.

Totally new thought.

A guild based on a Holy/Supernatural war.


Classes:

Angels > Archangels

Humans > Blessed/Damned/Something Normal-Humany

Demons > Something Stronger Demony

Spirits > Myths/Something Stronger Spirity


There'd be Greater Archangels and SSDs that wouldn't be played except for Storylines. (The big-wig demon and angels.) And God would never be played, I say. ._.

Maybe Lucifer WAAAAAAY into the future.

I imagine the main drive of this guild being the war between the two sides and having the Humans and Spirits being caught in the middle.

Also the "Myths" would be creatures such as mermaids, centaurs, and other half-human creatures that are basically human spirits that possessed an animal for so long, they turned into a myth. Or something. Ideas ideas.

More later. For now I need to shower~

*dusts off and sits down*

My name is Graham and I'm here because I want to be able to do virtually anything that my mind happens to fancy and I cant find a reasonable, stat-based guild that isn't full of people I want to hit. Aside from Elites. But I need a break from Bleach, in some ways that too is limiting. We can only push it so far.

So I want to make this work. Where do we need to get started? <<
PostPosted: Thu May 03, 2012 4:24 pm


<3
I love you.

Let's make this work. : D

We need a basis set. An over all story to the guild and a goal for other's to achieve. What are going to be some of the things people should strive for here other than "Be the strongest."?

We could talk via Messages but I actually wanna try and do a lot of it here just so that its written down somewhere that we can easily reference it.

Guild Story: I think the best way to get a variety of possible powers/characters is to use the, "Normal humans are given special abilities by ______" approach.

The blank can be any of several things: Gods, Science, World Changing Event. Whichever we choose will be shape the guild. Largely though it comes down to Supernatural Forces or Technological Forces. In other words you have angels/demons/spirit/elves/myths that grant you the abilities. Or you have humans and futuristic technology/virus/genetics that grant people special abilities. Those are the most general two choices I can think of.

Once that is decided we can go into Why people got powers, from Who specifically and What they can become/do with them.
PostPosted: Thu May 03, 2012 4:42 pm


I'd like a world-changing event to have brought it on. Which I now see you posted. I'd like it to be vaguely 'gods' related, but really mostly supernatural. Perhaps parts of the world were more affected than others . . .

I'd also like a balance, so that not everyone has to be a super hero. I'd like humans who specialize in weaponry and non-super-poweredness, too.

Got any ideas on "World Changing Event"? I'd like something perhaps sort of devastating, and pretty large. But not "Absolutely rocks the world to it's core." big.

Oh oh oh~! Something to introduce supernatural beasts / races into the picture, might be nice.
PostPosted: Thu May 03, 2012 4:49 pm


Yeah global catastrophe kind of thing. Something that unifies some people and divides others. Um if we want it to involve the gods we could always go with something like the appearance of deities in living form. So perhaps they suddenly appeared with mortal-ish bodies. And they fight, parts of the world are devastated. But suddenly they disappear again. But certain people are sort of... called on by those powers. And other people react and either fight for certain powers and others fight against them. And you could also have techie humans who fight for and against those with powers in general.

Last Minute Edit: For the beasts what if the gods/supernatural sort of brought all those legends with them when they popped up but once they left they didnt disappear. Oh! That'd be really cool. Like what if somewhere in the world there was suddenly a giant labyrinth with the famous Minotaur in it. And the tower of babel suddenly appeared in another part of the world. So you have all these legendary beats/locations that are still around now.

Personally I've always loved the "Gods walking among humans" theme. As evidenced by the godlings direction I was going in Elites for a long time there.

I sort of like the sudden appearance of Gods as a theme, too, now. It also gives us room for NPCs and sort of characters that people can relate to later on.

All of the old myths could rear their heads again, and it gives people something to draw upon with creativity, I think. <3

So, 'Gods' appear and make themselves known, causing changes world-wide. Some more noticeable in places, some less. (I imagine America for the most part is clueless, just noticing 'weird stuff' is going on sort of, but not as a whole catching on.)

And yeah. A group of technologically advanced people against the supernatural stuff as a whole I would like. Some might not understand the high tech stuff, and only use advanced weapons (so you wouldn't have to have geeks to join) and some could be inventors. It goes well with an idea I'd already had, yes. (Imagine big burly guy with a lightning canon, for example.)
