Character Creation

Post by Myukoi »

I need help! I'm creating my character right now and i'm not used to this weight, title, height, and attributes system. here is the profile i made for my character. If someone can, please help me pick out the right attributes, title, height, and weight for her. I love roleplaying and have played many roleplaying encouraged games, and always dreamed of finding one as strict as having a decent chat and name system, only allowing people who you know will rp to play, and things like that.


Name: Willow Rulyan
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Class: Witch
Nation: N/A
Group: Coven of Seduction
Job: Entertainer
Deity: N/A
Family: N/A
Description: Willow is a very disturbed woman, she's a seductress, and enjoys harming others
-------------------------------------------------------------
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 142 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Hazel
-------------------------------------------------------------
Perks:
-specializes in witchcraft
-is very wealthy due to her pleasuring others
-has the ability to fly on a broomstick

Flaws:
-low physical ability
-can be unwilling
-isn't very kind

I wrote this guide for attributes. Its located some topics above this.
Perks:
-specializes in witchcraft
-is very wealthy due to her pleasuring others
-has the ability to fly on a broomstick

Flaws:
-low physical ability
-can be unwilling
-isn't very kind
You character cannot fly on brooms or has other special abilities, your character can claim it but he/she cannot do it.

If you want to create flaws and specials, keep it on the character level, like:

Pro:
-does not fear thunder on a dark night

Con:
- is afraid of spiders

This way you are not bound to game mechanics and can play these pro's and con's anytime the situation allows it.

Whats with your complaining about everything? I've never seen a witch in Illarion anyway, but it sounds like fun being a love slave under some spell and people have to rescue you or something. :D

Edit: Elaralith and Ark aren't really "witches", just evil-like mages. Closer to sorceresses.

A 19 year old witch. Doesn't it take YEARS to become even a decent witch?

How dare you question me! Don't be foolish.
If one would think i could not be a female magic user due to others wishing for it, i laugh! It is most silly to question why one would do such, of course everyone has a different opinion, i have used this character for years, developing her. I will change her slightly to play Illarion, but i will not change who she is for you're disgusting taste!

I coulnd't RP my way out of a paper bag, so I doubt Kasume could charm his way out.
Arkadia struggles within her paper tomb. Time and time again she poked and prodded for a weakness. "The seams....there must be a weakness at the seams" she thought angerly. After hours of effort and mental anguish, she ceased her efforts. It was now apparant that she would be forced to live the rest of her miserable life out in the evil paper bag. "Well..." She said. "At least Im not in Canada"
Oh...and Galim...I cant soeak for Elaralith, but I definately don't see myself as a witch. Just an aill tempered gal whose jsut been pushed too many times and knows how to get things done. Better be glad there aren't broomsticks in the game...that would mean there would by umbrellas too....and I would ahve Ark running all over the place with those, shoving them up people's butts and opening them. :twisted:

From what I remember, you can convince people that you're witches, but you can't really *be* a fantastic race.

For example, vampirism. I asked the GMs to have my character be a vampire for quite some time now, but it's been confirmed that nobody can be of that race (maybe in the future, maybe not), but my character can believe that blood has rejuvinational properties.

So, if you convince people, it's good enough. :wink:

Oh....Myukoi....You dont need to change your character completely....It is absolutly impossible to fly on a broomstick in game. EVerything else looked fine excpe tfor the fact they may not accept the name due to the fact it is Willow...and I know Im not the only person who say that movie.

"Put the baby on the table!"
"NO!"

And the whole being wealthy from "pleasuring" others...well, I cannot talk for everyone on this...but for some reason people keep their pervertedness down to a minimum in game, so if you go around acting like a Hooker, you are going to be in for a big surprise.

Other than tht it looks alright though

Sometimes I wonder how you all constantly manage to turn topics into pure spam.

never read that kasume, huh?.


well, it is possible to play a young witch. in the medievil times, witches were very often good looking womans with alternative ways of live. many women got burned just because a man or a jealous wife called her a witch. or just because the woman started to collect herbs and made medicine instead to pray while someone was ill.

but arkadia is right, not many players in illarion have the interest to roleplay, well, the more private parts of live ;). and there are no privat locations in the game. some guys have a nice collection of logs :roll: .

I think the real reason people dont want to play as you all say the more private parts of life. Is because have you ever played those other "Rpg's" .
That crap is all over the place, it isnt rp its straight cybering. And I know I dont want Illarion to turn into something like that. And Im sure a whole lot of others dont want that as well.

She can play a seductress because that really doesnt involve that much its just the suggestion to get others to do things that you want.

1.) I have seen buffy, but i have used this name long before it was around. Buffy the Vampire Slayer didn't start the name Willow, it has been around forever. It's a normal name, i mean hey. I saw the name Elizabeth in a tv show, can't use it anymore. :roll:
2.) Okay, i will just remove the part about the broomstick for Illarion.
3.) Thanks, i have the attributes down now, but i still need to know what weight, height, and title i should use, if you can help me please look at the profile i posted and tell me. I want to make this character ASAP, but make sure it's all good.

Height:
You can decide how tall your character is, if you have problmen with the metric system try to google for some converter.

Weight:
Fat or slim, or something in beetween, you decide.
The scale is kilos, if you are used to pounds look for a converter.

Title:
You can leave this bank, later in game you have the possibility to change this by hand.

Seems like you have the same mysterious bug as some other users.
If your client does not respond when creating a character you have to try it from a different pc.

This will not affect your ability to play from your own pc in any form.

There was a member in my character's Blackstone group a while back, a fiarly old character he was. (1****)

He was a great evil roleplayer for a long time, until he quit playing. He wreaked havoc anonymously, like a "dark" person in real life would do.

But, he never got well-known or acclaimed for his RP. Nobody knew what he did let alone if he did it. I think it's more exciting to include at least SOME exposure, or else there's no point.
