Dual Swords Team

i am in, if u have space

I might be interested to join too. I am not sure if i roll a stalker or scrapper then though. So if you dont hear from me soon again dont consider me in. And GL when i11 hits

I'm interested in this, but which server would it be run on?

As for theme, since there are Japanese weapons, how about a Fuedal Japan theme? I think some of us have the Samurai armour, and it's possible to make Yojimbo's and the like, plus Ninja's (Dishonourable scum that they are), standard Bushi, and any combination therein.

Or another option is to have a team of Blademasters, all armed with longswords, rapiers, and rapier/main gauche combinations. We could try and get a look of swordsmen/women from the Renaissence period of Europe circa 1600's using baggy shirts, tights (tight-tights for men), hats (no feathers? WHY?!), and the sleeveless military formal jacket looks like a good jerkin.

OR, we could go for an ultra high-tech cyber-assassin squad, armed with personal choices of weapons and clothed in tight-fitting, hard-wearing futuristic body-armour and/or leather catsuits.

I'll have some more thought and see what I can come up with, and maybe post some pictures when I get time.

Server would be Union.

Like the idea of the future tech look, over the ninja / 1600's (not the leather catsuit part mind). It will be interesting what the NPC's of Ouroboros look like - maybe we could be agents of theirs?

Sounnds like a good idea to me.

I have one char already with a fairly futuristic look, accomplished (because I don't have screenies) by using Full Mask head: Full Mask, with Double monocles Detail 1, Tight top with Flak Armour, Stealth chest detail and belt, heavy leather gloves, patent leather bottoms and Smooth Combat Boots. All coloured a dark blue colour, (farthest left, two lines up from the first purple for primary and secondary).

I would also like to see what the Orobouros operatives look like for inspiration.

Now that I11 is on test, has anyone come up with anything more about this idea?

True - gimped SuperTeam ftw!

It may be gimped, but darned if it isn't fun as hell. Been rolling with nothing but DB/WP scrappers and tanks (generally team of six scrappers and two tanks) from 1-10, and we've had many deaths, but many awesome moments of slashing sounds all over the place with WEAKEN WEAKEN WEAKEN flying everywhere

To answer your question, they wear various clothing, it's all brown.

I will use DB on a broot, mind switching to "All DB and WP team"?

Count me in as well, if there's still space.

Test teams, seem to get along just fine. We had no deaths and the killing spree was extraordinary for a bunch of low levels.
I think that they fit just fine in an "all DB/WP or WP/DP team".

Had an thought or two about the cyber-assassin idea. Thoughts?

That's a hell of a stylish character Ly'!
Especially the one with the Exoproto armor - I think he suits more in the "cyber-assasin" concept.

I've already designed the character, but dont know if I'll go on with the style he's on test.

Im in, all hail the men of blades.

Came up with a name for a blade orientated SG - Blades of Wrath[BoW],as far as theme goes something on the lines of a hero version of yakuza/triad/oriental theme with all members having tattoos,has this already been done by another SG?.Not sure how viable or feasible an SG would be consisting solely of melee types but sounds worth a punt for a few lvls just for the fun of it.

Another option would be based upon the ancient persian elite fighting units - The Immortals [allthough portrayed in the film 300 as evil,this could be reversed] with members having a personalised individual masks.

Idea for Immortals SG costume.[The mask i chose is either Technis or Technix,not sure of the spelling]

If people are wanting to form a sg for the DB/WP tanks and scrappers then we will need to do this asap after i11 goes live to ensure that we get the 20k prestige bonus that they are giving out.

So far suggestions have been :
Oriental theme tattoo team
Ultra Futuristic Tech Team
Immortals team

Can we get a vote on what is a general concensus? If we are all in the same sg then at least we can get easy teaming going with regards to finding other people that are on at any one time.

Once we have a general theme / costume we can decide on a name of the sg and then when we are first meeting

I find it very difficult for us to come down to one idea or costume.
Each one will have his/her own ideas on how to dress up and so on.

So, in order to keep a level of individualtiy and create a level of unity as well, I say we come up with something that will appear on our toons and at the same time, state the sense of belonging in a group.

This can be done by putting something identical in all of our suits(chest symbols excluded - too cliche :P) ..but which part?

The Immortals skin looks good, but the only problem is that not everyone will be able to use the Veteran reward shoulder pads pictured. Can you come up with an alternative, Necro? And that face mask pattern is Technis btw

As for overall theme, my mind has just locked up and gone home. I'll get back to you on that.

The original costume didn't have the shoulder pads,i only added them as an option to give texture to the upper body.
Just omit the shoulders if players haven't access to them,it actually looks just as good without them.
I also added a single shoulder mantle with crown brooch and dragon design but again its purely optional.
The [metallic]mask is the main feature of the costume as i havent seen this idea done before by any SG.

I've just been playing with the skinner, and had an idea for a subtle, if coherant, link for all the characters. It's tattoo known as Fishhook for males and Tattoo1 for females. It could go in black on any mask or face, as a symbolic scar to bond all the members together.

Fishhook works for me,it was one of the possible alternatives i tried when coming up with the face design.

Something along these lines?

A group of Hi-tech soldiers sent back from the future, representing the different countries of the world (their costumes are the colours of the flags of their country)

Aye. Something along those lines. I think that even if we all decide to go our own way with the overall appearance of the team/sg, as long as we all have that tattoo to keep us coherant, it'll still work well. This suits me also as I'm a roleplayer (I don't create any characters without RP in mind) and what I am thinking is that, at first, our chars are all still getting to know each other, have their own styles and the like to begin with, get tattooed after deciding to join forces as blademasters, and then build the SG from the ground up. Adding the Uni later. Thoughts on this? If it doesn't work, then it's all still fine by me.

As for the insect armour idea, I showed my wife and she loved it, but I'm not so fond of it. The tech suit with flags is also another good idea to me, although it does have me wondering (perhaps a little naiively) if in the future, there would be no seperate countries politically speaking, just Earth as a united whole (Against the Rikti/Shivans maybe?) with a single planetary defence corps. to guard the whole planet.

... *rereads the above* Hmm.. /e chinstroke

Edit: corrected some spelling, and also the below;

The idea.

Blades could be completely down to personal preference, as the characters would have theirs on which blades to use.
