The Lorax Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I may create a profile for Teota later, but I haven't decided if I want to include her yet. It kind of depends on how I feel like playing this, and how things develop. Since things have developed in that direction, and Teota is now a part of the game and able to take her own actions, do you want to start playing her? I could keep her as an NPC if you like, but I think you could probably write the character better, having created her and all. And Gyro Gearloose, we're now waiting on you in order to wrap up the Dark Hunter battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Daedalus) Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'll have Kware try to assist when I can get to my computer, but to be honest, I'm not exactly sure what he can do. It seems to me that, being a Toa of Earth, Wherya would be the only really able to fight Devastator at this point, but Kware will do what he can.

The Lorax Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Being a toa of earth doesn't help; that's why I asked Gyro to edit the post. The fact is that they can't control sand, which is the borderline between the elements of earth and stone. Usually I don't mind a little canon-bending (our female toa of fire and earth are a great example) but modifying your powers to get out of a bad situation is pretty high up on the list of deus-ex-machinas.

The Lorax Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 OK, quick announcement. For the month of July, Zakaro is being swallowed up by real life, so I'll be taking over his characters as NPCs. This means that Wherya can expect some help from Tarua pretty soon. Zakaro, all the best for your camps and I'll have a summaryof what's gone down ready for you when you return (though I've currently got no idea how far we'll get in that time).

(Daedalus) Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have a couple of questions before I make my next post. First, when you say that Tawhito is reassembling the group that had previously met, am I right in assuming that includes Kware? And second, physically speaking, what exactly are the long-term effects of the "pain gun" the Dark Hunters used on the captives? I didn't get the sense that Turano was physically scarred when he returned; he seemed more psychologically worn out that anything.

The Lorax Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Yes, it includes Kware, and Teota if she wants to come along, and is feeling up to it. Yes, your impression was spot on. The pain gun has no long-term physical effects. It isbasically a ray of psionic energy, so it effects only the mind. As for the long-term effects there, I suppose it would the the same as any other form of torture. About the Hammer plotline that had them attacking Guard HQ while everyone was away: I've quietly dropped this because of the 2 PC Hammer characters, one had gone inactive (Zakaro only gave me Tarua for July) and the other wasn't posting. We'll move the guards on with their plot and try to get the Hammer doing something interesting later. Ahktu, perhaps Kama could interact with Party Poison's character, Sorquva, or find some excuse to be a part of Tawhito's meeting.

Jakura Nuva Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Okay, some questions. First off, is there still room to join? I don't want to jump into the middle of a story or something.Secondly, Is there a limit to how many characters we can each have? Could I control a whole team on my own (if I so desired)?And third, can I have characters that I use in the Official BZPRPG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lorax Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi Jakura Nuva. Welcome to the game. Yes, you can still join. The more the merrier! We are in the middle of the story, but hopefully we can get around that and find a way to get you and your characters into the action quickly. There is no limit to how many characters you can have. The thing is though, there aren't really teams as such in Katipo. There are groups of people who share goals, like the Miners Corporation and the City Guard, but they aren't like Toa Teams. They're more like organisations. Which you can join or, if you wish, maybe create your own. I have to say though, most of the interesting stuff is going on with the already established factions, particularly the guard at the moment. If you mean a kohlii team though, you can absolutely do that. Knock yourself out. Well, yes and no. You can create a character who is very similar to one you have in the BZPRPG, with the same name, mask, whatever, but they won't really be the same character, because one lives on a tribal island and one lives in an underground city. How they came to be there will change their backstory and that might change the type of person they are. So you can take a character out of another game into this one, but they journey from one universe to another will change them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lorax Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 A quick notice to everyone playing this game: Last night I was biking home after classes when I was broadsided by a driver who failed to give way, and this resulted in a fractured vertebra, among other things. At this stage I'm not sure whether this will mean I have less free time to put into RPing or if I'll be spending more time sitting in front of a computer rather than doing other, more active things. Either way, I will do my best to keep City in the Dark active and complete the story by September. There is more to this mystery yet to be discovered, and I can't wait for us to do that together. However real life turns out to effect how this game goes, I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
