Not much of an eh person?
 
@Kestrel Ohhhhh. That's pretty cool. So we can literally build kingdoms.

Sorry for assuming, I'll fix that I, so just a few more questions: is there a set list of skills or can you literally learn any skill you can possibly do in RL and in a sci-fi fantasy world? And are there set jobs or can we make our own?
 
The answer to most of your questions is Yes.

Skills are divided into two categories: Class skills and Profession Skills.

Class Skills are learned every 5 levels. Professions are still secret-secret, so no one in the game knows about them yet. They will become available when the plot advances far enough.

The players will 'literally' build everything in this game. All the permanent structures, all the armour, all the weapons. ALL THE THINGS!!!
 
What about ruins Mac? What about the ruins?!?!

I'll make a Calice post in an hour or so.

No worries, good we got it figured out. And yes, literally build kingdoms ;p

As for other skills, well, check out Mac's reply.
 
Heyo, just posting an update that the achievement system is nearly finished. One thing I can spoil is that everyone who has finished a fight has now earned:

Get your feet wet | Get into your first fight | 5 XP

Which basically means, add 5 XP for free! Add it while it's hot! Note that you can only earn one achievement per fight. If you fulfil the conditions for multiple achievements, you yield the one with the highest XP award. Which is why you're all getting the same one... Yeah. I'm not super-unoriginal. It's just that. So congratulations. Most of you are now level 2 :D

Also @Bolour Kardia Any estimate when your next post will be up?
 
So all of us who got into a fight; which is pretty much everyone gets that achievement? Should we add it to our character profiles; just to keep track and stuff?
 
  • Thank You

Stumbled across this and couldn't ignore it!

Disclaimer: Most of this was done on my phone, so I may have broken some code unwittingly. Also, please let me know if there's anything wrong with my skills! I'm not sure if the combat system works with what I came up with. (it's supposed to be a support/crowd control build, but I didn't intend for it to be quite so "impossible to solo with"...)

  • THE PLAYER​

    FULL NAME:Danielle Fletcher


    APPEARANCE:
    CNNItd0.jpg

    Source

    BIRTHDAY & AGE: March 16, 2015 (19 years old)


    OCCUPATION: College student, part-time waitress


    NATIONALITY: American


    BIO:According to her, Danielle's childhood was completely ordinary. This is true to a point; when she was in elementary school, she lived with her maternal uncle and aunt, and was raised alongside their three children. Her father, a successful salesman, had to travel to various places for his job and was unable to take care of her full-time. Her mother had been a dancer in her youth, but the onset of a severe illness had stolen her strength and health, leaving her without the energy needed to raise a curious and clever child. None of this was strange to Danielle, who had been too young to truly understand the changes when they initially took place. Of course she wanted her mother to be well and for her father to be around more, but she loved the family that raised them and felt like they were no different from actual parents or siblings.

    When she was nearly 13, her father's job posting changed permanently. This allowed them to get their own home, one located in a city where her mother would have access to skilled specialists and her father could continue to work. Logically Danielle understood that it was for the best...but her emotional side blamed both of them for taking her away from the people she was closest to. She had always struggled with making friends; while new places fascinated her, new people left her feeling tongue-tied and shy. Though she tried at first to reach out, in the end she couldn't gather the courage to really initiate friendships with others. This resulted in her spending most of junior high and high school as 'that girl who seems nice but never talks to anybody', usually forgotten in the background of things.

    Getting into online games around the same time was just a coincidence. She always liked fantasy settings in video games or books, so when she saw a commercial for an interesting game on TV, she checked it out. Danielle's never had the inclination to become a hardcore gamer, preferring helping others and exploring the world to being at the top of any leaderboards. This might have been a way of coping with a lack of free time; between working towards a scholarship and working part-time for spending money, she was always busy. A coworker told her about VRMMOs some time ago, but it took her a long time to save up for a system that could run one - she barely got it before TDO was announced. She didn't expect to get into the TDO beta, despite signing up as soon as possible, so she was delighted when her opportunity finally arrived.

  • ABILITIES​
    Weaver Sage
    • Skill Name Waning Current
      Level learned 1
      Skill Type Active
      Cost 5 MP
      Skill Description The Weaver manipulates the flow of mana between two beings of their choice, causing the recipient to gain a portion of the target's MP. The amount transferred is determined by the "damage" done by the skill, as if it were a 150% attack. This skill can be self-targeted. The amount of MP gained cannot exceed the recipient's maximum, and will not remove the last point of MP from player characters. (outside of PvP)
      Skill Name Ephemeral Echo
      Level Learned 5
      Skill Type Active
      Cost 7 MP
      Skill Description Tangling and twisting the lines of energy lets the Weaver swap or copy the skills of any two targets. As personal stats don't change automatically, the recipient may not be able to use their borrowed skills at the same potency as the original user. The exchanged abilities can be used even if the recipient lacks the equipment to use them, and functions with all skill-related effects, with the exception of pets. The effect ends when the recipient or target leaves battle, or after 2 posts, whichever happens first. Extending the effect costs 2 MP per additional post. Can be self-targeted.
      Skill Name Mystic Eyes
      Level learned 10
      Skill Type Passive
      Cost ?
      Skill Description Increased familiarity with the ebb and flow of power allows the Weaver to see where mana has gathered, and how to shape it for a mage's use. A moment of focus reveals the presence of natural mana, in the form of a grid, threads, arrows, or whatever symbolism best applies to the caster. When the mage is in danger, the skill activates, allowing them to move a short distance towards allies/party members. (Other players must be in line-of-sight.) If outside of a party, the Weaver moves in a random direction that will remove it from immediate threat of damage. Once activated, the skill enters a 1 post cooldown.
      Skill Name Twist of Fate
      Level learned 15
      Skill Type Active
      Cost 10 or 15 MP
      Skill Description Deepening comprehension of the underlying structures of mana within existence unlocks the ability to alter the strengths and weaknesses of a target. The Weaver's power lets them exchange active status effects between three targets, including the caster. While the Weaver can select the targets and recipients freely, effects of a similar severity must be moved as a group. Shifting moderate status effects costs 15 MP. The spell wears off after 4 posts but can be canceled by the caster at will. This spell scales based on the star levels of the target compared to the caster; the greater the target's strength, the less potent the spell will be. (1 star = 85% effect, 2 star = 70% effect, 3 star = 60% effect, 4 star = 50% effect, and 5 star = 40% effect) Changes caused by passive abilities, class skills, or equipment cannot be altered.
      Skill Name The Warp and the Weft
      Level learned 20
      Skill Type Passive
      Cost ?
      Skill Description Just being in the presence of a skillful Weaver makes the flow of mana smoother and easier to access. Other mages have their MP costs and spell cooldowns reduced by a percentage of (caster's level / 2) * (number of other mages in party) as long as they're in the same region. If another Weaver is in the same party, the effect doesn't stack; only the highest boost applies. Instead, both Weavers receive a small MP boost equal to the average of their levels. (minimum of 10MP)
    • Skill Name Aether Wave
      Level learned 1
      Skill Type Active
      Cost 4 MP
      Skill Description A crescent-shaped bolt of pure mana flies away from the Sage to their target, striking other opponents in the way. This attack can damage up to 4 enemies in a straight line, doing 150% to the first enemy hit and doing 105% to the 4th. A minor knockback effect is also applied to the first two hits.
      Skill Name Stunning Spellcasting
      Level learned 5
      Skill Type Passive
      Cost ?
      Skill Description All of the Sage's magical attacks have a 45% chance to apply the Stun status for 1 post, followed by a 20% slowing effect that lasts 1 post. This passive does not stack with other crowd control effects and is overwritten by active spells/skills. After every success, the stunning effect fades and will not trigger again until after the Sage spends 2 or more posts in combat.
      Skill Name Chained Grimoire
      Level learned 10
      Skill Type Active
      Cost 15 MP
      Skill Description A magic-powered mine is set in the ground, invisible to others. When triggered - either by a hostile creature coming in contact with it or by the Sage - an explosion of mana does 200% damage to anyone inside the blast. Up to 6 targets are knocked down for 1 post. However, the high threat generated results in most targets attacking the Sage after the root wears off.

    EXPECTATIONS: I'd like to try a balance of shaping the world, exploring it, and having fun. The examples of scenery are what caught my eye at first, so I'll probably be more focused on that stuff than on politics. (Not that it's a bad thing to have politics, this is just an echo of my own biases within MMOs.) And as long as everyone is considerate of each other, I'm looking forward to whatever surprises or challenges are in store! I'll take them in stride even if my characters don't. :)

    ROMANCE: I'm perfectly fine with romances if one happens to develop. I don't usually plan them ahead of time but I can work with whatever happens.

    OTHER: Unless it's the weekend, most of my responses will come in at night/early in the morning (in GMT +5 terms). Oh, and feel free to message me if there's anything you want to know; I always watch threads I join, but PMs are even harder to overlook.

Sorry guys I wont be able to get a post up tonight im too exhausted, ended up being a longer day than expected. I'll make sure to get one up tomorrow problay noon'sh (im on central America time)
 
Sorry I disappeared! Lost my wifi, got it back, like, right now. I'll get a post up soonish.
 
@driftingstar Someone picked the weaver :D That's so cool. I thought it was like one of the last classes people would go for!

On the other hand I was expecting at least 2 assassins by now. Strange thing.

Anyway, bio, stats, all look great. I also love how you stuck really stuck to the class roles with your skills, but I wouldn't be me if... Well, you know... Questions, critique, here all goes.

Aether wave decreases 15% per hit, or just does less damage on the last hit?
Stunning Spellcasting is pretty OP, try to make the percentage lower or add a restriction to it (ie going on CD for a couple posts after succeeding)
Chained Grimoire; KD for three posts should be enough for most parties to kill; making it an instant-death skill. Try to lessen that.

Waning Current, great use of the spellweaver, but pick a single function. Swapping VIT when your character has 6, for example, is a really high-end (de)buff, while MP draining by itself is also quite powerful.
Ephemeral Echo, same thing as above, try to pick one function instead of multiple.
Mystic eyes is a teleport skill towards allies, right? The teleport would cost you MP ;p

You'll get more spells as you level up. The level cap is far above the 20 for the spells ;)

Other than that, well, it looks pretty good. Here's your resistances in advance;

Fire:-25Earth:15Light:20

@Bolour Kardia @Cheesecake Gotcha guys, cheers for the update.

    FULL NAME: Kain Forrester
    APPEARANCE:     This 5'11'' well built boy has a fair skinned eventhough he spent half of his life in a trophic region. He never leave his house without his glasses.

    BIRTHDAY & AGE: 9 december 2017
    OCCUPATION: NEET
    NATIONALITY: Half American, Half Indonesian

    BIO:
    What do expect from this 5'11'' tall handsome young man. Charming? Or you could said despair. This Eurasian teenager has suffered a lot of major proplem for most of his lifetime, it' was rather sad but it was the reality that he must faced. Kain Forrester also known as Kain was born on 9 December 2017. He lived within a wealthy family, his father was one of the leading industry leader at that time but tragedy struck as his father went bankrupt leaving only with a blank land. Everyone that his father thought a friend has turned around. For years Kain's father rebuilt his own business from scratch, just as he thought everything went back to the right path, Kain's mother death leaving him with his son alone. She was died due to Leukemia, a sickness she had since years ago.

    Following years after Kain's mother's death, Kain's father began to move on from his past life and focusing on his work but ended up marrying to another Indonesian woman. The woman Kain's father would be marrying called Mrs. Louise, she was a model and pretty but not for Kain. After the marriage, Kain's father were forced to go back to his homeland due to widen his target market internationally and there where thing started to change for Kain Forrester. Everyday Kain would got abused by his step mother, physically and mentally. He would be slapped by his step mother countless times or sold him to gays and elderly woman. All the maid were so scared that they wouldn't wanted to called Kain's father or stopped her except a young maid name Mrs. Godfrey. She was the personal maid of Kain, a young and gentle girl that her age gap was a margin from Kain. Mrs. Louise had fed up with Godfrey and decided to dispose her but in a devastated way. Mrs. Louise sent a group of thug assasinated her but also asked them to rape her before the assasination. So another lovely role of Kain has gone, his verge of revenge had pilled up from time to time but not for long.

    Years later, Kain's step mother was in the headline new "An ex super model died in a tragic way" , Kain saw the newspaper and doesn't believe it even he would loved that to be true. So he watched the TV and turned out to be true, he doesn't know if he should be happy or sad about it. He directly called his father and days later Kain's father flew to Indonesia. Kain told everything about his unloving experience and made his father in state of shock. Kain's father apologized to Kain and asked him to go with him to America. Kain wants to live in a whole new life so he followed his father to America.

    Things wasn't as Kain expected to be, it was really hard for him to socialize with other people since most of his life were horrible. None of his friend would came near him nor talked to him. Kain also didn't got the chance to open up to his father since his father was busied working. Leaving without any hope of living in the outside world, Kain decided to be a NEET. Just as coincidence that In Depth Online just got open beta...

Is it alright if I make a second character for Phax's brother later on? If not, I'll just make him an NPC if that's okay.
