Nonono. I didn't mean literally that. Though the thought did cross my mind that one of the sword wielders becomes evil then good again, however I quickly tossed that idea out as there is already a RP going on with that current thought.

I used that as an example because that's the only thing I could think of the moment.

Other examples could be taken from books such as the moral of this entire RP is that for ever action there are at least three unintentional consequences for the one reaction you expected (see Law of Unintentional Consequence)

EDIT: Riku, that is also something I thought of. I'd like for there to be two wielders in the end, however it is not at all unlikely that there can be one. Perhaps we could vote on that or let the players vote.

 

Again it was another example.

The law of unintentional consequence basically states for any action you take, next to the one you expected there are at least three more that you did not expect, and most of those you will not like.

For instants.

Say you are a warrior who wishes to be renounced for your strength and bravery, what do you do? Simple, go out and find the strongest man/woman/beast/spirit/w.e.

But say that the strongest beast/spirit is sealed away. In order to fight it you'd have to unseal it. By unsealing it you unleash it, full power -or not-. Now what you expect to be the result of unsealing it is simple: it'll be free.

However, by following the Law of Unintentional Consequence three possible unexpected things will happen.

- Pure evil will be unleashed upon the world
- It will flee to gather strength and then wreck havoc on the world
- It is a spirit of good that doesn't fight, and was sealed away by evil persons.

There are more because the possibilities are near endless.

If we used that for the RP it would force the RPers -or at least teach them- that for every action there are multiple reactions. Not just one.

 

Well I'd certainly like creativity when you make them, and I don't want them to be alike. You could go for the old philosophical type, or you could go random and have the way out there types. It's up to you.

 

Alright. Oh! I'll try and draw a map so everyone has a reference.

 

Initially we are going to be guides. But that doesn't mean we can't join in the fun. We just need to know how to separate character from guide. That way the RP doesn't become about our characters.

Made a quick edit on the first page listing a few of the classes. Tell me what you think and are there any other additional things to add to the descriptions?

EDIT: At the moment I only have up the main classes. I'll add the sub-classes later on. We might also want to think about what variations of classes we can have. For instance:

Fire + Earth = Magmamage

Fire + Water = Mist

Summoner + 1 other element = Summon creature from respective element

Water + Earth = Mud

Water + Air = Ice

Air + Earth = Dust/Sand/Dirt

Fire + Air = N/A

Prophet + anything else = N/A

Acolyte + anything else = N/A

 

Hmm.. I see where you're going Shadow, however to me it feels forced. I'm waiting on the other Band members to weigh in.

 

I will, but I'm going to do that later. Right now I want you guys to weigh in on the sub-classes I have now and think on other variations.

 

Alright, well let me add in the sub classes and see what else needs getting done.

 

OKay, I added a few sub-classes and a brief explanation of the point system. I'll go back and add a bit more, but first - can you guys think of anything else that needs to be done before we start? I need to make a map, but other than that I don't think there's much. Merlin should be creating a bunch of teachers for the Wizard's Spire.

EDIT:

Testing out the pic for the map.



... Hmm... I think I need to re-draw it w/ a Rosetta Star or something.
