Rebirth of Destruction Sign-up/Discussion

[Krylo]

No you wouldn't... Actually, the idea that those are guilds was me fucking up. It should say psionics there. I'm going to fix that right now...

They're different schools of ability, and you can know a lot of them if they aren't mastered, or master a few of them, or anything inbetween that. You'll probably want to major in one and just dabble in others, knowing a few weaker powers or something of that nature though. They're grouped together like that because the powers are simliar... like telekinesis and blowing up rocks with your mind would be similiar, but different. You have a good grasp of what would be overpowered beyond all reason, so I'm sure I don't have to really explain much past that.

And Illithids are humanoid with an octopus or squid looking face, with the tentacles around it... and they have kind of tentacle-ish fingers. Other than that they look human. They are, however, experts of psionics, particularily the mental types... so you could pull out some psionics that would make your character look human, such as metamorphisis... or a slight alteration to the invisibility power (although that would be taxing...)

[IHateMakingNames]

Out of all the races, my best choices seem to be Kenku, Doppleganger, or Illithid (For power of Psionics)

Next best would be Drow, Nymph (Can there be male Nymphs?), Faerie and Imp.

So, it is known I shall be one of those seven races. Just need to look at their little bio things a bit more to choose. (Suggestions from krylo?) Edit - This was based completely off of the Psionic regeneration stat.

As for my powers, I'm probably going to do PSYCHOKINESEIS (Mainly the Devotions)
or PSYCHOPORTATION as a mastered thing.

Edit - Though Telepathy is very tempting with mind control and all...

[Krylo]

Suggestions? Well, an Illithid would intrinsically have some telepathy skills... beyond whatever psionics they actually 'learn' and put effort into... Dopplegangers innately have most of the metabolism ones... and are able to look like whatever they want. Perfect assassins really... as well as good psionics. Kenku are cool, but they can't speak, so you'd have to know telepathy (or at least sign language, but don't expect everyone to know it) just to communicate. Um... Imps are cool if you don't mind being about a foot tall. They basically look like tiny demon sprites... Drow, well... you know how drow are in most fantasies... disliked, kinda evil... yah, same here. Also, as a male... you'd either be powerful or more or less a slave in their hometown. And... There aren't REALLY nymph genders... they lack reproductive organs, but they all have the uh... errogenous zones and bodies of females.

I'd probably pick one of the first three if I were you... based on whether I wanted to be able to fly, have innated metabolics, or innate telepathy.

Edit: cleared up some wording.

[IHateMakingNames]

I'm tempted by the powerful Nymph... (Because I am assuming that is a big powerful...)

And a Kenku is probably not going to be picked, since I like humanoid characters and all a Kenku (How would you word this correctly?) is is a bird with arms...

The next two are both semi-human (Either way I can make them look purely human through their own skills), while a Dopple would give me the time travel/teleporting powers innately (Unless that the Metabolism under psychoporation is a typo, which it probably is), while the Illitah gives me offensive parts of Psionics (Plus mind control, which is a big part).

Though the powerful Nymph still sounds good...

[Squishy Cheeks]

Can I be a mind flayer named Cthulhu?

[Krylo]

Yah, metabolism under psychoportation is a typo... metabolism should be it's own area. Psychoportation just deals with moving from point a to point b mostly... and as a nymph you could always be FZ's slave... probably his uh... special slave. Or a pretty decent psionic assassin getting close to 'her' victims using sex and then killing them... although it'd be kinda weird to think of you playing somebody that looks female (even if it doesn't have ovaries or a uterus).


And JadGuy... you can be a mind flayer and call it Tinickle Han-Tai Deamon for all I care... just so long as you don't go too far with the humor thing past the name.

I'd rather you be something other than a mind flayer as that IHMN is already gonna be a psioncist (which is mostly what mindflayers are), and I'd like to see some fighters... but meh. Names aren't important.

[IHateMakingNames]

Her? I thought you meant male Nymph (errogenous zone (of males) and body of males). I don't want to be FZ's sex slave...

Edit - And with this new knowledge, chances of me being a Illithid are much higher...

Edit 2 -Since I do not know you in real life, please hit yourself very hard for even suggesting the first thing.

[Forever Zero]

Okay, yeah, THAT'S not disturbing at all... I'm going to pretend you didn't make that suggestion...

So I totally second your change of species IHMN, and this makes me think of something. The non-human species have been mostly enslaved, but does that mean slaves are comin amongst people? I would imagine Zalbag being a somewhat eccentric loner accept for the fact that he'll do whatever is necessary to increase his skills as a mage, and he might have a few friends he can rely on in the more magical guilds, sort of contacts on where to find magical artifacts and new spells and such.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'm going with a naga If you let me take on with the body of a constrictor.

Name: Jormungand
Race: Naga Constrictor
Skills: Hunting, tracking, stealth, nature lore, wrestling, and weapons fighting.
Appearance: Jormungand hails from the swamp lands of his constrictor bretherine. Like most constrictors he has a heavily muscled torso onto of a long and thick snake body. Standing on his coils he is easilly eight feet tall. His tail is over 40 feet long and easily capable of crushing a man. He wears only simple studded leather armor. on his torso and carrys a Steel Scimitar, and a Mace, if he even needs weapons Typically in a fight he'll just crush his victim to death within his massive brown and green scaled coils. He has long tangled black hair and a long black braided mustache.
Bio: Jormungand is a member of the stalkers guild and is an excellent tracker. He is a bit of a mystery. One day he just helped to stalkers out of the blue and demanded to join their order for protection form persecution. He is a proud warrior and has made a good reputation for himself. He uses his natural advantages to intimidate opponents and to maneuver well in the harshest terrains. He comes from swampland so he is more at home in boggy terrain but he is very tight lipped about the naga. But sometimes when he thinks about the ways things used to be.

[Krylo]

You do realize that was a joke and not a serious suggestion, right?

Also: If Zalbag wants some contacts for magical artifacts, I would suggest a lower member of the unseelie court (a higher member probably wouldn't be caught and become known as what they are), and illithids in general are good for that as well. They tend to work with powerful drow... and can read minds pretty easily.

Edit: And the naga looks ok... except a tad long. Maybe closer to ten feet long than forty...
