@MakutaOisli

I feel like the character isn’t… y’know.Good enough

Very relatable

[Ghid]

@MakutaOisli

Well @Ghid,what do you think?

I must warn you that this RP doesn’t have consistent activity a lot of the time, which seems to happen to the OA RPs. As well, I will be actively throwing challenges at the party with the good chance that it will kill some of them, and I will not go easy on any of the players for any reason.

With that being said,

@MakutaOisli

Henan

Approved.

[MakutaOisli]

HOORAYYY! So,how do I start?

@Ghid

By Messenger of the Court of Okoto

The disappearance of the Elders was marked today, three decades ago, under dark and uncertain circumstances. The remaining Elder has consistently proven unsympathetic with attempts to locate them, and The Dark continues to grow in the absence of their leadership. For the sake of society we would dare to press on, but brother Ekimu has unwisely departed on his own initiative, and may be in definite peril.

With this in mind, I, Makuta, Champion at Arms and Head of the People of Okoto, commission you, the recipient of this decree, to arrive at the City of the Mask Makers on the first day, of the fifth month, and if proven competent, to engage in a potentially perilous mission to receive Ekimu, brother Mask Maker, back into the protection of this city, wherever that endeavor may take you.

By Decree of
Makuta, Champion At Arms, Regent of the People’s Court, Justice of All Offense and Altercation, Commander of Armed Defense

Go in Peace and Power

Your character, like the rest of the starting group, would have received a letter like this, prompting him to meet at the Mask Makers’ forge. At the moment the rest of the party is in a training match against Makuta, but your character doesn’t know that yet.

[Ghid]

@MakutaOisli

Henan walked around the forge,looking around for anything interesting or out of place.

No go. Your character hasn’t even arrived yet, and if he had, he would not have enough time to casually glance about the interior.

[MakutaOisli]

oh.When does he arrive?

[Ghid]

Anytime you want, but he needs to actually arrive.

@TheMOCingbird

Cheshie took a deep breath as she gazed up the mammoth flight stairs that greeted all who dare approach the forge. She readjusted her pack on her shoulder, then began her ascent. By the time she reached the top, two things began woefully apparent to her: she was far too out of breath, and the forge’s gate was tightly shut. She paused, before tentatively giving the door a short but firm set of knocks.

Maybe try introducing them in a way like this. Show Henan actually arriving at the forge.

[MakutaOisli]

Henan’s neck joints creaked as he gazed at the massive statues adorning the entrance to the forge.Amazing craftsmanship. Henan thought to himself.Probably took a year to make.As he began to climb the enormous flight of stairs,He solemnly noted to ask about the techniques of the carving,and the type of stone used.As he neared the door,it seem to be sealed shut.He again looked at the carving,and then,trying not to break the craftsmanship,knocked on the door multiple times.

[TheMOCingbird]

That looks great to me, but you should probably post that in the RP topic, not the sign ups

[MakutaOisli]

whoops thought this was.

[Ghid]

Now that’s a good start. Just so you know, most people when making posts put a space after each period used so the sentence structure flows easier.

[Winger]

Oop, just realized that Ilya completely ignored his bomb being Kylo Ren force-held by Makuta. Huge oversight, I’ll fix it ASAP

[Ghid]

@TheMOCingbird

She raised the former over her face to block Makuta’s first strike, while thrusting the blunt end of the javelin beneath her shield in hopes of catching the mask maker in the stomach mid jump.

So what do you mean by blunt end? the opposite side of the pole?

[TheMOCingbird]

@Ghid

So what do you mean by blunt end? the opposite side of the pole?

Yeah, the opposite end of the pole. While it’s not sharp, it still should have enough power behind it to keep him at bay, and knock the wind out of him if executed properly. She’s not looking to kill Makuta here (though maybe she should be, would certainly save a lotta trouble down the road)

[Ghid]

@TheMOCingbird

knock the wind out of him if executed properly.

Or…

Well if Makuta wasn’t mad before.

[TheMOCingbird]

@Ghid

Well if Makuta wasn’t mad before.

yeah, that too…

[Winger]

So does this:

@Ghid

but if Ilya pressed himself, he could likely snatch the cup before it collided.

mean I can succeed in the next post, or should I still leave it up to the GM?

[Ghid]

You can succeed. But the window there is small.

However, Makuta’s having such a fun time you might not have to worry about that very soon.
