Lads, let me cook for but a moment here... brainstorming.....Foreign origins, seeks out the champion because of their growing legend /IE post winter city and garth quests/ he swears to be oathbound to the champion and serve as their personal blacksmith, getting romantical is optional and doesnt serve as a mechanical detriment to the questline, possibility of getting some actual unique equipment for the champion that is dependant on their own class, background, and corruption level... im also considering dramatic alternatives for low corruption and high corruption, the romantical aspects gearing more towards low Cor. to actually incentivize being good rather than the usual "Im literally a paladin but ill fuck you even though youre demon adjacent"... Still brainstorming on the finer details and the inbetween, but im hearing you lads, even you daken, we might getmiquellamikello yet. Regardless, for race im honestly leaning towards kitsune since from all ive read bronze seems to be the standard for most cultures rather than steel, but that in and of itself might cause some friction, let alone my origins as a lowly f95 dweller
I would actually like a guy joining us in Wayfort. Currently, it is only gals.hmmm maybe a splintered offshoot clan of Kitsune oath seekers? Or perhaps a half-human tribe that wanders the world learning blacksmithing techniques and seeking heroes to swear oath to... Regardless, I gotta get back to writing all this down in a cohesive and presentable manner.
Still, just to inform you of couple of things:
First -- You need to write a scene for existing character before any personal/large scale project is accepted.
Second -- Tobs is the main guy one should question for Kitsune characters and their implementations, so rushing into it before having a talk with him is unadvisible.
Third -- Him being a blacksmith, so by extension a seller, is something you would need to ask Savin about first. Especially if he is going to have some unique equipment and so forth.
A variation on corrupt and pure champs would be nice. But, if you want my suggestion, I would more so base it on three personalities which are: Champ (initial one), Bimbo (result of drinking Bimbo brew) and DK (an evil one that you gain ay 75 corruption and up). It is much easier that way to keep track of it.Finally read up and through the lore, it seems hematite is fairly common in the frost woods, so we can assume in similar biomes/sub-true mountain ranges is common hematite deposits, with that I can reason out that the only reason steel isnt too common is that its simply too cold to effectively smelt without some form of blast furnace, whereas the quality of bronze is far more consistent and as such no ones ever bothered with steel. That greatly widens up the race range for vro, henceforth placeholder named Soreal. Ive gotten a good chunk into writing a basic backstory and summary, so along with any other ideas or opinions id like to see what kinda weapons the people would be interested in. As of right now ive sketched up a bog standard handheld magic catalyst for the mages, a Falx for the warriors, and im considering some form of light longsword/fencing blade for the rogues, perhaps some kind of scimitar or dual blade for the dancers? And for anyone wondering, im gonna really be bulk messaging in the afternoons as I wont have any way at all to see the forums in the morning and during the day, so forgive me if the posts start seeming back to back
//Also, i have taken a bit of liking to the bratty-esque persona for low corruption pcs, and a genuine dislike, not hatred or lockout mind you, of high corruption pcs. Ill get some more thought put into the build up first though
Second -- working with steel, the last I remember, is something the developers are here to discorige. Since it, as metal, is meant to be scarce and the ways to forge it should be lost. So your character maybe being able to do so would pose a problem.
