Bziii: Seven Heavenly Virtues


Franco

4,869 views

Member TX Wade has posted his idea to create a toa team with members based on the Seven Heavenly Virtues that counters the Daedra. This is the entry in which to discuss said idea; therefore, I will update this one as pertinent to keep up with discussion.

 

First Day of Discussion:

 

It has been largely agreed upon that this team of Virtues should be more than just foils to the Daedra.

 

TX Wade stated that this group will have a twist of some sort. To quote Parugi of Congratulations: '...A reason for being'.

 

 

Members Hubert and Parugi have stated one or two of their characters may join. Parugi also put forth the idea that perhaps the virtuous toa team could be more out to protect the island in general as opposed to merely combatting the Daedra.

 

 

Member Benluke-116 proposed:

Perhaps the members could all be reluctant about becoming heroes? And making them fight more enemies then just the Toa Daedra would be an good idea.

Another random thought: How about having an member that's a Skakdi or a Vortixx? He/She would still use 'Toa' as a title.

TX has vocalized his support for the general idea of the first paragraph, but also expressed he feels that this team's members should not strive for heroism. He believes they should instead try to become 'guardians'.

 

Second Day of Discussion:

 

TX Wade and Parugi expressed their dislike for the second of Benluke's proposals. They believe that skakdi and vortixx have certain evil or more neutral stigmas and do not fit in a 'toa team'.

 

Toa Onarax and Zoma stated that they would like Humility and Patience, respectively. Meanwhile, Parugi specified that the character he has who may join the group could serve as either Temperance or Diligence.

 

TX stated that he will take whichever virtue is left. He added that he is currently leaning towards Charity and Kindness.

I'm good with that idea. And it allows me to create the character a little differently from his virtue at first. Ah, I am so hoping to get patience. I've already got an awesome idea forming in my mind...

So am I. Whichever virtue I get, I'll probably have him/her start off differently from the virtue. Question is: who wants to be the recruiter?

Well, you're in charge of this group, don't you decide who gets what Virtue? I would expect that you would choose...

 

As for being the recruiter, I think I might have a way Patience could do it...

I wouldn't exactly call myself fully in charge (technically I am); I think of this as more of a collective effort. The only way I could really decide who gets which position would be presenting me with a profile you have in mind and even then, I'd like feedback and opinions from others.

 

As for the recruiter: I really don't care who gets around to it. We've got most of the plot covered up which is: one person goes around recruiting others for a Toa team of seven like the Daedra and as our adventures develop, so do our characters virtue-wise. Although, whoever's character is recruiting will need a reason to be recruiting.

 

On a side note, shall we start posting profiles?

Name: Durim (Patience)

 

Species: Toa

 

Gender: Male

 

Alignment: The (Insert team name here)

 

Occupation: Loan shark.

 

Mask: Mask of Growth

 

Powers: Elemental Water

 

Weapons: Brass knuckles, hooked into his hand armor. Spetum, a sort of Pickaxe Spear.

 

Personality: A tricky fellow with a friendly smile when he wants to have one. He originally has little patience for others, and will easily enforce his deadlines for payment... or someone will end up hurt. But, over time, he's grown a little more lenient, that way he gets more payment.

 

Appearance: His armor is a dull copper-gold color, with a large golden gear-type designs coming off of the back of each shoulder at an angle. His chest plate has golden gears built into it under a layer of yellow glass. The gears do nothing, and are just for show.

 

Biography: To be written.

 

Weakness: He;s a rather slippery fellow, but can be caught in a trap of his own words. He isn't a great fighter when it comes to long range, even with his elemental power.

Idea: Recruiter recruiting for a circus XD.

 

Jokes aside, how bout this: The Recruiter is not a virtue, but rather was a follower of the Daedra. After attempting to gain more power he got kicked out. This lead to him wanting revenge and he still wanted that false hero status back. So what he does is recruit other heroes and act like a coach to them. All the while just using them to gain more false hero fame and glory.

Only problem with that is for that to happen, the Daedra would already need to be a team, and they aren't yet. On top of the fact that you would need Cool-Aid's permission to do that, most likely, otherwise it would contradict what's already planned for the Sins.

 

Not to mention, if the last iteration of the Daedra are any indication, you don't just up and leave or get kicked out of the Daedra -- a resignation from the group or a doublecrossing of Pride is a resignation from life. :)

 

 

Anyway, Raehn's profile has been posted for a while now, so I'm going to go ahead and list her as a possible candidate for the team until I know for sure that there aren't other people who want to join. =)

Me: Anything

Onarax: Humility

Zoma: Patience

Parugi: Temperance or Diligence

BenLuke: Kindness

Biobeast: Charity

 

If there's anything wrong, correct me. Looks like my intentions on being kindness or charity were snuffed out since I'm too nice to object :P Things look good to go for posting profiles. Parugi, I'll look over yours in a minute.

Zoma - Patience

 

Onarax - Humility

I was one minute too slow! XD

Parugi, Raehn looks good for Diligence I'd say. I'll list her as a potential candidate. Same for Durim, Zoma.

 

I really don't feel like being chastity and with kindness and charity out of the way, I believe I'll take Temperance. Not sure how that'll work out but if I deviate from its path, don't not say anything about it ^_^

 

So, looks like we need another runner up for chastity.

We could stick Hubert with Chastity.

 

Or, if Hubert doesn't want to play it, one of the team could play two characters.

If needed, I could do it. I've gotten pretty good at playing with a large number of characters.

That's how the old team worked. I think I was the sucker who was stuck with two characters...

@BenLuke I liked it, but the character that's going to become Humility was already a Toa.

 

@Hubert I think we decided that it doesn't have to be, it's just that TX and Parugi would prefer it wasn't. I on the other hand would like to have a non-Toa, but that's probably because I hate any sort of racial alignments.

 

@Parugi Well who's the recruiter for the Daedra? Cause the recruiter who get's kicked out and recruits this team instead could have been that character's former partner.

My idea for building the team was to have them all owe money to my character, who comes up with an interesting business idea for them to pay of their debts... Act as heroes so he can make back the money they owe from merchandise sales... and they all end up actually growing into the role of heroes.
