Stalingrad

Okay, we have ahd a couple of new people join, namely Solar, who is now going to RP Sterpahs wife and mother to Kumo and Suzume and Hawkblaze who's place in the family is still uncertain.

To both of you, as i have already said in PMs, welcome and great to see you both =D

Now, been thinking about the family name for this and assumed that the sg name would be 'The ****** Clan' with the stars obviously representing the chosen name, and since i am getting closer to 10 with my ninja alt i've been asking people to think about names

the only one i have thought of is that of one of the most well-known japanese swordsmen, Musashi, who's family name was Miyamoto, which, personally, i quite like.

Any further suggestions or ideas?

well tbh i have never seen this, the first thing that has hit me with people RPing children is at times they are TOO innocent and naive, i've seen children being RPed who are older than myself, and others i know, who are balking over things that i find commonplace, for example when a 16 year old talks about sex =P

okay, i don't think anyone would use young characters as an excuse to being a git. Maybe these people are simply playing the characters, as Lunk, i think, said, some kids, however old they are are just idiots, if they want to act like this there is no age limit, you don't have to be 15+ or anything lol =)

okay, i guess what i am trying to say is, that, i know Tyger's characters, and although i do not know the other two if we take Tyger's age, which i think is about 14, i know people who are 15, okay a year older but still, who will happily stand up to people twice their size, and although they might not describe quite so graphically what they will do, Tyger boy's history shows him growing up in a time of war where boys his age were made to fight, surely this will have made him act older, even if he is still only a young teenager.

Now, i have no idea if any of this helped or made sense to anyone but i thought i just throw in my two cents and see what people think =)

okay Tant, sorry if the connection was down =( you can still have other sisters/brothers to main spot characters, grandfathers? lol, and just add to that tree as you wish if you wish.

and sorry to here you are going Feyth =( was looking forward to having you around, but can't be helped, hope things get better soong =)

people who have sent me mail with wanting to be in since Feyth isn't going to be using her spot any more would someone take it? this would help a lot if someone could, thank-you in advance, maybe Tant if you want a main spot?

oh, and we now have an OOC chat channel if you wish to talk to others, NinjaOOC, see you all IG =)

oh, and just incase anyone was confused, (cause i know i am a bit) here is a, hopefully easier to read and understand, family tree, hope there are no mistakes, look forward to adding more to it

Family Tree

rofl, okay, thanks Shadow, being hastily corrected
i'll also get an easier to understand family tree of this up asap =P



Tant -
Speccy - another cousin, sister to fangs and daughter to Fri's, (mid 20s)
Feyth - father of Lep's and Cobra's characters, husband of Dusk's character (mid-late 30s)
Cobra - younger sister (12/14)
Havoc Fang - cousin to mine and Cobra's chars (17)
Leprechaun - older brother (18)
Fridan - uncle, father to Fang's and Speccy's character (43)
Dusk Knight - mother to Lep's Cobra's characters and wife of Feyth's

okay, another update, all really getting together now =D

Tant -
Speccy - another cousin, sister to fangs and daughter to Fri's, (mid 20s)
Feyth - father (mid-late 30s)
Cobra - younger sister (12/14)
Havoc Fang - cousin to mine and Cobra's chars (17)
Leprechaun - older brother (18)
Fridan - uncle, father to Fang's character (43)
Dusk Knight - father to Lep's Cobra's characters and wife of Feyth's

=D

cool, well i will get back to you IG or on the forums when i know from Feyth what she decides =) or, if you want to act someone that age then you could say that your character is sister to Feyth's and Fri's characters? so an aunt to the others? which could work as well

and what's your global? then can talk to you easier =)

a mother would be great =) so the mother of the Leps and Cobra's characters?

and don't mind, by oldish i guess you mean around mid-late 30s?

also had better check with Feyth in game when i meet her so sorry but no promises yet, i don't know whether she'd want her character (the father) with a relationsip/in marriage right from the beginning, so when she comes on i will check with her okay? =)

and eldest brother spot is taken... sorry =(

no, i mean as in what is he to everyone else, we've got the family idea as listed above with brothers cousins fathers uncles, sisters etc. where would he fit into this?

oh, and sorry for double post, but an update on the list =)

Tant -
Speccy - another cousin, maybe from other side to Fangs, (mid 20s)
Feyth - father (mid-late 30s)
Cobra - younger sister (12/14)
Havoc Fang - cousin to mine and Cobra's chars (17)
Leprechaun - older brother (18)
Fridan - uncle, father to Fang's character (mid-late 30s?)

welcome on board Fri!

s'cool but how does it fit into the family idea we are using?

ohhhhhh ninjas ooooooh ooooooh and more ooooh what server?
Either some anem like Blind..... cos my Idea was to make a chap who was blinded by some tsoo or somthing or just a amazin warrior

okay, we're on union atm and as you can see we're just starting up, if you want to come along talk to me in game at @leprechaun. and we'll see =) the only requirements for this VG atm is that you are a member of this family (name still to be decided) meaning that the VG is held together by family instead of just money etc.

okay, =D and update on where we are so far with ages etc.

Tant -
Speccy - another cousin, maybe from other side to Fangs, (mid 20s)
Feyth - father (mid-late 30s)
Cobra - younger sister (12/14)
Havoc Fang - cousin to mine and Cobra's chars (17)
Leprechaun - older brother (18)

Tant, you got any ideas for where you want yet? then i can try and get to 10 quick and get things started =)

=D up to 6, now before getting started what places do people want? below is what i know so far, with the age and where they are in the family:

Tant -
Speccy -
Feyth -
Cobra - younger sister (12/14)
Havoc Fang - cousin to mine and Cobra's chars (17)
Leprechaun - older brother (18)

if you can if you want a place repost with the family position and age =) sorry, just trying to get it all sorted so can get round to the fun =D

woo =D

okay, so we have Tant, Speccy, Feyth, Cobra and i, that's 5,and perhaps Shadower as well once your done with your plot? maybe you could be the beginning of a new branch so to speak.

now then, who wants what places in the 'family'? there doesn't nesecarrily need a mother and father, maybe just a father or just a mother with brothers and sisters

also, what kinda of ninja are these, are they going to be all in black as most people know them, more modern or more casual, which i personally i think allows for more variation, instead of black all over, so jackets, trousers, jeans etc?

okay cool,

so i think we're gonna go with the clan/family idea, perhaps though if to get it started we begin with one solid family and then if players wish to join then they can either make another member of that family or a separate side to it maybe related cousins etc. etc.

As far as attitude i'm guessing they're going to be mercenaries of a form, although it might be nice for them to have some other motives as well. Maybe if they fight for the money and to improve their abilities, like another kind of training, just so they can become better?

Right now if we include Tant then i think we have 4 players up for it,

Myself - i'll play whatever is needed to balance things at make it either, although i'd prefer to play and older brother.
Feyth - who tant knows i know and said she will gladly join up
Mystery Girl X - who plays Lady Cobra and lots of other ninja characters is also interested
and then Tant - who is interested as you say.

How many players do you think we will need to get this started with a solid base? considering some people can make two alts to bulk out some families or start others? I would be thinking 5, and then we can get to making the characters and beginning the grind?

also, just in case anyone is reading, are we limiting this to just ninja like characters or will there be other oriental fighters, all from the same clan of course but including magicians, samurai or other types of japanese (i'm guessing we're making them japanese not chinese?) warriors of any age etc. cause of course, having young apprentices etc. to any older characters could also be good fun =D

oh, and if anyone wants to talk in game about this then i am @Leprechaun. (full stop at end)

okay, cool, i've had a couple of people now contact through IG or other forums saying they would be interested and yeah, depending upon IC coalition would be cool.

And yeah, i don't like characters that want to take over the world all control all, outside of a plot-line and in open RP in Pocket D for example they are pointless since if kept IC they will not be able socialise as well, and eventually everyone will just avoid them.

That's why i like the idea of Mercs for this or simply a more 'ruthless' family that is viewed as villains but rather maybe out for revenge or just to defend one another, meaning that they could be cold and cruel but still able to be nice and socialise etc. =D

okay, had a read through what has been said, the Oriental Express thing sounds good but how much internal RP do you have in side the VG?

and yeah, villains would be better but i said heroes because i know that, as you say, many long-standing players may say no to villains, or that they will begin to break down slowly but surely, as i have seen happen with so many promising ideas.

I read through what you said Tantevilist and cool idea, maybe we could work in the family side of things to that? i just always thought the idea of a family working together could be fun and lend more to the RP.

The thing that always turned me away from the villains is the fact that many can get dragged down into plans for world domination etc. (P.E. here), i think a little evil is fine but i hate RPing the whole world domination thing =P if this did work though they could be just evilish and yet in the isles...? Therefore can be ruthless etc. without the extremely evil.

If did start a full RP group for this would anyone be interested?

Hello there! This is just an idea that may or may not fall flat on its face but it might be nice for everyone to consider it =)

I have seen a lot of ‘ninjaesque’ characters running around, or oriental magicians, I’m sure you all know what I mean, it’s good fun for the whole mysticism and they’re fun characters to play. What I haven’t seen though (to my knowledge) on either CoV or CoH is an SG/VG made specifically for this type of character. I know a few people who I will try to talk to IG who I think might be interested in the idea so I decided to make a post here.

Basically the idea is simple, making an SG (preferably in my case since villain ninjas tend to be cold and hard to RP properly) which is based around ninjas, samurai, magicians etc. of oriental descent. Below are a couple of ideas I came up with for the background.


A:
They’re for hire, a group of them have got together in the hope of employment, it just so happens that at the moment they’re on the good side. They are a new business, but have made themselves known to factions like Malta, KoA and maybe even EVIL (European villains immorality league) which would be the main competitors in such a field. They’re here to make money and learn, improve techniques and get better etc. etc.

B.
They’re an extended family. They’re all from the same family or clan, uncles, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, all of this. The moves and skills are passed down the generations, taught by word of mouth from father to son and mother to daughter. Now they’re going to try and make a difference and are going to register as heroes. This may sound a bit strange to begin since hero families I know of consist of matching spandex and capes on kids but think about it. The possibility of having one character, complete with a family of others could be fun RP, and say mother and son, or brothers and sisters at PD or GG might add more depth. Obviously this idea would need to branched upon a lot but I still think it had potential?

C.
A training group, a group of martial artists who practice in their spare time have been doing so for long enough or with magical help to reach amazing levels and have decided to register as heroes. They stick together to help eachother and improve, basically the entire SG relationship can begin with them working together to get better, then maybe becoming more tight-nit as characters get to know eachother.


Personally my favourite is the family idea but I know some people may disagree or have ideas of your own. If you are interested in this please leave a post behind with any ideas or characters or anything like that that you think may be useful. Please feel free to input even if you don't want to help, i just feel that this could be fun since of all the ninja characters i see around, with no SG in particular for this =D

Thanks in advance =)
Stalingrad.

wow, thanks a ton Rats, and thanks for the PM as well

love the style and the way you warp all the characters, tyvm again wooo *save picture*

i like the idea a lot actually, sounds good fun for a night just to meet some of the other characters out there =D

i think i would probably head down on Soph if something was organised, or maybe even Stal or Gen if i feel like it...
