Role Play Creator the Second

[Zaleramancer]

And a culture.

Want in?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hm...perhaps. It does rather pique my interest.

And creating one for somebody else, in comparison to hundreds for myself...can't hurt.

(Though I have to get off now, so, I'll try to see what I can do tomorrow  )

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I forgot to mention that Maiden's Vow of Honor in its Released State can neutralize all Nature magic/powers, can channel and boost my powers, and is indestructible.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ok. So then for the RP idea of the three schools cooperating for missions, we currently have these Player Character students:

MCA and branch school, Minerva Academy:
   1. Jakob Neken
   2. "Living Soil"
   3. Clariss Mao
   4. Bojin Daisuko
KCoM:
   1. Eric Ashgrove
   2. Wulfgang
   3. Zauber
   4. Obito Shinanowaki
   5. Tiberius
   6. Yamata Asoka
   7. Billy Bishop
   8. Samuel Irving
Celadon Academy:
   1. N/A

And for NPC's:

MCA and branch school, Minerva Academy:
   1. Top Ten
   2. Heads
   3. Arinee Solando
   4. Former students
   5. Other students I haven't revealed yet
KCoM:
   1. Heads
   2. Yuka
   3. Tachibana Mamika
   4. Wulfgang's roommates
   5. Old Jack
Celadon Academy:
   1. I don't know

This is an up-to-date summary of students right?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Don't forget the teachers at KCoM

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

All three of the schools have teachers, who would only be at the missions as supervisors. The supervisors are only NPC's at the beginning and end of each mission. The supervisors will stop the mission if the students cannot take down a foe or solve a puzzle of some kind and call the mission a fail.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Ok, then what about Old Jack?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Added Old Jack just now.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

 There will be others as the RP progresses.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I know.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Just a reminder...

[Zaleramancer]

Serrians
A tall and rather remote race of humanoids inhabiting the subterranean continent of <Name Pending>.

Appearance

The Serrians are exceedingly tall, standing around seven to eight feet tall, with a slim or sometimes gaunt figure. Most are described as having haughty or aloof features. They love luxurious clothing, and will always dress in the most opulent clothing and jewelry available to them. Silk is particularly sought after, and jewelry made from the crystalline substances common to <Name Pending> is also adored. Serrians tend to wear rather concealing clothing, as even the muted light their home gives them bothers their pale skin.

Physiology

Serrians are well noted for their amazing flexibility and climbing ability. They are capable of squeezing through narrow gaps, though most would consider doing so to be undignified. They do not so much climb things as glide up them with a kind of speed a monkey would envy. Despite this, they are rather physically weak. Used to the somewhat muted lights of their crystal sky, extremely bright lights bother their sensitive eyes and skin.

Personality

All Serrians are obsessed with appearing dignified. They will go to absurd lengths to appear calm, self-possessed and put-together under any circumstances. Nothing- Not death threats, natural disasters or even divine intervention will make them loose their composure. Serrians tend to be fond of predictable daily patterns. It's not that they can't improvise, it's just they prefer being able to know what they should be doing at all times.

Culture

Serrian culture is arranged somewhat like a pyramid. At the top you have the person with the most political, social, economic, and often magical power. Such a person is Emperor, High Priest and Celebrity all merged. Below them is various officials, priests, advisers, entertainers, land owners and magic users. After them comes the moderately wealthy, socially popular, merchants and adventurers. Then, at the bottom of the pyramid, come the farmers, lesser merchants and menial laborers.

Most of a Serrian's time is spent planning how to advance to the next rank in the pyramid. This is often the source for their desire to seem dignified and composed at all times, as loss of control often means loss of status.

Serrians are excellent architects, able to construct stone buildings without motar. So well build are these that many can stand for hundreds of years with no maintenance. Cities of the Serrians are often towering affairs, with the higher ranks living at the top.


--------------------------------------
Would you like hypothetical stats?

[Philote]

Looking good so far, hypothetical stats would also be nice.

[Zaleramancer]

+2 Dex, -2 Str
Medium: As Medium creatures, Serrians have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
A base land speed of 30 feet and a climb speed of 20 feet.
Low-Light Vision: A Serrian can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
+2 bonus to Climb, Escape Artist, Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty)
Ultimate Composure:  All Serrians have a +2 Bonus against Enchantment (Compulsion) spells. In addition, any Serrian under the effects of a Charm, Suggestion or Geas spell treats any action they view as undignified as if it were self-harmful.*
Automatic Languages: Common, Undercommon. Bonus Languages: Gnome, Dwarven, Draconic, Elvish, Terran.  
LA: 0 (I suppose )

*They would no more do a chicken dance than they would stab themselves.

[Philote]

Seems good.

So under composure they will hurt themselves instead of doing the command?

What does the LA: 0 mean?

[Zaleramancer]

No, look at the Charm Person spell. See how it says that people under it won't do anything suicidal or self-harming? For a Serrian, anything undignified is treated as if it were self harmful.

Just like you can't use Charm Person to make someone stab themselves, you can't use it to make a Serrian do something that would make them look silly.

LA is Level Adjustment. It basically bumps up level to balance out how powerful a race is.

Like a Pixie has an LA of 4, so a Pixie rogue 1 would count as a level five character.

LA + Class levels = Acutal level for exp purposes.

[Zaleramancer]

And LA: 0 would mean they have no Level Adjustment, like the normal races.

[Zaleramancer]

Oh and Dryad, do you still want to do that thing with the three schools visiting various worlds?

[Philote]

Oh I see, Interesting

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Yes. I'm just waiting for more info from Shadowulf.

@Philote: Do you have a name for 'Living Soil' yet?
