Beat and Rhythm (RPG Topic)

Tribal Roster (Profiles)

Here lies the discussion.

"Brother, sisters, come. We must come together and stop this violence. I, personally, would not show this kindness to you, forgiving all your evils. But as a toa, it is my duty to do this. Let us discuss calmly and collected, not list beasts fighting over their prey."

Here shall be placed all important events of the RPG. In addition, any and all discussion is heartily encouraged.

Events:

A skirmish quickly evolves into a full-blown battle.
The battle on the beach breaks.
The beaten sides return to their abodes, only to be called into meetings.

So which tribe gets the pianos again? Creating Dorian's profile now, and it slipped my mind.

[Hurricane iBrow]

Would I be allowed to create a character with powers over gravity, or would I HAVE to use one of the original six elements?
Also, are there any real limitations to what sort of instrument a character could use as their weapon?

-ibrow

[Shyyrn]

So many neutral characters... there are literally no characters in three of the six factions!

ToD, remember to change the topic info, so Le-Koro has wind instruments and Po-Koro has stringed!

I'm gonna make a Toa of Air...big surprise right? Anyway, he's gonna be factioned with Le-koro, and be completely...ruthless...

There's a tribe with... pianos? I must see this...

Hopefuly ToD approves my grand piano.

I want to say, "assuming direct control" sooooo bad.

Hey ToD, if I bring Grochi into this will you bring Windfly and Japack in too? We never really did anything back in Epoch of Despair.

Po-Koro, since they have jurisdiction of stringed instruments.

Aw, my idea was already taken. xD Hmm. Will you allow a second character with dual swords and an Ocarina?(Or is there something else that's small, compact, not a harmonica, and can be played similarly?)

As for my profile, I'll try to put it up today, but I detect it'll be busy. =/

[A billion cats]

My character, Skyra...is gonna be severely loyal to Le-koro.

And no, he's not gonna be nice to his enemies, at all.

[Tafu]

A recorder or a whistle would be your best bet. Possibly a flute, but they are not always compact or small. Of course, when I say whistle, I'm not refering to those survival whistles that you use when you are lost in the woods.

[BZP Blade]

Hmm, a recorder might be a good idea, now that you mention it. ... Oooh. I might have an idea for a Po-Koroan character now. >=D

/EDIT: Oh yeah. That's definitely gonna work. =P

A question: What, precisely, is the technology level present in this game?

[Shyyrn]

A question: What, precisely, is the technology level present in this game?

Since we're on Mata Nui, we're probably at 2001 level in terms of tech. Things like vacuums and padding are probably low-tech or element-powered, rather than technology-powered.

-Shyyrn

EDIT: Also, Legolover... the Tribes of Rhythm aren't aligned with each other. You might want to change your faction to 'Ta-Koro.'

I will laugh if he meets Krayzikk. Since Krayzikk isn't loyal to really anyone.

Hi there, just a question about my understanding of War Music:

War music works by using elemental powers controlled by music, right? And the music is visable, tangible and audible. The user can shape it into "Almost anything imaginable". It's this last part I'm a little confused on. Is the music just a way to control elements, like a Po-toa singing a rock into a wheel or making non-elemental things out of music, like making a rope out of rhythm and using it to climb a mountain?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

[Legolover-361]

EDIT: Also, Legolover... the Tribes of Rhythm aren't aligned with each other. You might want to change your faction to 'Ta-Koro.'

I thought the Tribes of Rhythm were allied (at least partially) to better fight the Dissonance?

Ehh... ToD is a little ambiguous on that. There is a council that tries to negotiate peace, but any alliances seem tenuous, at best.

I think you and Teezy's character can still have their band, however; I think it's something the rest of us would definitely want to see. You could say it's a sort of 'truce' activity between your two Koros!

[Toa of Dancing]

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

so many questions

GREAT! Love this. Thanks for answering a lot of them, Shyyrn.

ANYWAYS, IMPORTANT: I'm officially promoting Shyyrn to co-GM for being helpful. If he accepts. Anyhow, I'm going to write up the opening post, give it to him to post, and then approve all y'all so you can have fun. =3

Hey ToD, if I bring Grochi into this will you bring Windfly and Japack in too? We never really did anything back in Epoch of Despair.

Windfly would likely be far more vicious, JSYK. Besides that... Eh, we'll see.

ANY instrument is fine. Want an ocarina? Sure! A hurdy-hurdy? Heck yeah! Didgeridoo? Already gonna have one, but sure! Take note, however, that swords are practically useless. You'll see why when I get the opening post up.

A question: What, precisely, is the technology level present in this game?

Shyyrn pretty much answered this: Low-tech, though mechanics and such are well-known, and maybe very basic electrical things are viable. Also, I might fudge on electric and bass guitars for you guys, if you want.

Methinks the best way to answer this is by example, which I shall make clear in the opening post. Hang on while I get that typed up for you. =3

Oh, and yeah, the tribes are loosely aligned. They still fight, but they are somewhat united against the Dissonance. That came with an edit mid-contest, along with changing Ko-Koro to still being a part of the Dissonance.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

Grochi would be too, ToD.

But every RPG needs some comedic relief.

[BZP Blade]

ToD: Makes slight sense, but they'd probably be more for decoration than anything. =P

But that just means my Po-Koroan will likely be my main character, for more than one reason. =P Can we be in different Koros than our element? Like, an Air Toa in Po-Koro?

[Toa of Dancing]

Reading through these profiles, I see so many neutral. =/ Ah well, we'll see how it works out.

Anyways, writing the post now.

@Blade: It's an ocarina, so I'd prefer he be part of Le-Koro. I have a feeling they will be the most OP tribe, but whatever.

Don't forget Windfly, for the comedic relief. Let's crash into an Optican Turtle again, shall we?

That still makes me laugh.

[Dallas Winston]

Dorian's not neutral! :3

-Teezy

[Legolover-361]

Neither is Kynaera.

[The Snark Knight]

Neither is Unov!

[Toa of Dancing]

Okay, I get it. But most the first ones are. =P

@Kal: Sounds fun. =P Though, given the nature of this RPG, they could tear it apart with a few notes...

No, no, that's my other character. This is a second character. I just want him to wield a harp and be green. ... </skyward sword>

Well, let's go for it! xD

I swear, this will be hilarious.

Ally both with Le-Koro, longtime friends before the events of the RPG?

[Toa of Dancing]

Well, Shyyrn accepted. Expect the post within the next few hours.

@Blade: Ah.

@Kal: Eh, Windfly will still be a longtime recluse. Again, we'll see if I even bring her in here.
