Welcome to the city of Nuxbar, location of the guild hall and your prime destination for joining a guild! As adventurers new to Nuxbar, you have been looking at all of the guilds, but so far you were only able to find one new (unnamed) guild to join. You, along with many others, have shown up at the rather small building, noting the few furnishings around. Mandatory reading: This google doc will give you a half decent idea of what you can expect. In general, feel free to look up the Etrian Odyssey series to see what it's like. Character Creation: Your character must meet the following requirements while using the Fancy PTU Sheet (Please list features/edges on the sheet as "X. Feature name" Where X is the level you are taking the feature/edge.) Trainer Level: 5 Funds: None (You will get some starting funds and items once we get started). Freebies: If you take a class (not just a feature or edge) that requires a class kit, you may have it for free. Everyone gets a free crude weapon of your choice. You may take either Elemental Connection or Mystic Senses for free. Notes: It would behoove you to have some way to contribute to the fight as your character (you needn't start this way, but if you're going to plan the later classes... take note). Exp notes: No dex exp, you will get milestones for certain explorations and certain enemies you overcome. Playtest: All playtest packets through february are in effect Banned material: Blessed & Damned: All, DPDoM: All except Jailbreaker and extra eevee Evos (you may use these two). Your pokemon Level: 10 Requirements: An underdog or evolves from an underdog. Gained: You will not have this pokemon until after the start of the campaign. Inheritance: It may have an inheritance list with one level 20, one level 30 and one level 40 move. These must meet the september playtest requirements. Aside from the previous, it may begin with an egg move according to the september playtest. Skill Backgrounds: are fine as long as you lower the same amount that you raise. Wishlist: (almost forgot this) At least 10 mons or generic requests. Feel free to include generalizations such as "Fighting Types" or "Pokemon that know Move X"... just try not to get too specific. Poketrian Odyssey: This is based off of Etrian Odyssey in which the characters have a home town with a base of operations. You make your livelihood by exploring new areas which opens up new quests from townspeople or researchers. There are also plenty of things to do in town that you'll want to check out. While out in dungeons or exploration in general, you will find plenty of items and scraps, some of which you'll need to bring back to your merchant to unlock new items for purchase. Finally, you will come across very strong enemies known as FOEs. These enemies are very large and very strong. Without proper planning and sufficient leveling, they will quite likely KO the whole party easily. Avoid these at all cost at first. Lucky for you... they have sight problems Important info: -As noted in the Google Doc, I'm looking for a team of four. The deadline will be Friday June 3rd, though I reserve the right to extend it or shorten it depending on interest in the campaign. -Retraining and tutoring services will be available but will have an associated cost and will require that you upgrade certain guild services. -This is my first campaign so expect it to be full of shenanigans. We'll be a bit rules light at certain times for the sake of enjoyment. -We may have conversations/planning happening on skype (not mandatory), but the game will be here on the PbP forums. -Posting Frequency should be at least once every other day (with more frequent posts being appreciated).

So. How "dark" is the setting, in your mind? Your google doc mentions criminal elements, but it isn't exactly clear on how bad things are (or aren't). I only ask because I'm trying to decide between two concepts.
One is a girl who grew up on the streets, getting by on her wits and her ability to manipulate others (Trickster/Provocateur -> future Ninja (Poison Weapons) and Mentor (for easy training of Moves)). This character is an anti-hero at best, and a villain at worst. She firmly believes that anyone in power (ex. governments) are invariable corrupt and must be taken down and replaced with those who will actually care about the homeless and destitute folks of the city. Starter: Spinarak (Combat focus is on Status Stacking)
The other is a simple student/casual martial artist (with hidden Aura potential) that is interested in seeing what's "out there". (Martial Artist/Aura Guardian -> Future unplanned) Relatively "simple" character that can fit into just about any campaign. Starter: Pikachu (Dislikes combat, but is skilled when necessary.)
If you need more details, I can certainly provide them. Otherwise, I look forward to your response.

It's not a dark setting at all. It's just that if you want to look for the darker parts of town, you'll find them. Or who knows maybe they'll randomly find you. You are definitely free to use either character, but the first one sounds like they'd rather be part of the mercenaries than with the guilds.

I'll have to look at the list of EO classes again, because I think I'd love to make a character inspired by one of them for this. ^_^ Maybe a Botanist/Medic/Chef Farmer or a Cheerleader/Commander/Musician Prince. I'd go for a Yggdroid equivalent but no Upgrader or Engineer kind of hampers that...

Well, the first character is actually trying to do right by the country, she is just doing it "by any means necessary". I think I'll probably apply with the 2nd though, as she is far more generic and "honorable". I'll dredge up the sheet and do some editing to fit the specifications and go from there.

I might try to port over my thief Victoria from a game that died. she's kind of selfish, reckless, and very, very greedy but she does have a good heart.

Alright. Here is my app. I still need to create a new backstory for her, but I figured I'd post now so we can resolve any glaring errors there may be. Especially concerning the Inheritance list, as I've never used it before (though I did look it up for directions).

Opening post has two updates added in: I need from ya guys a wishlist and the levels at which you're taking the various edges/features. Ex: If you're taking Mentor at level 1 then list it as "1. Mentor"
I'll look through the apps tomorrow morning and provide feedback/answer questions at that point.

Only just realized this was a Skype game. Going to have to drop in that case, my fault for not reading more carefully. Sorry for wasting your time.

Sorry, I added in the skype tag without fully realizing what that entailed. We may occasionally discuss things via a skype group (just text based chatting, not calls). You will not be required to use skype at all though. The game itself will take place here. I've edited the tags to reflect this.

Would a class with the Weapon tag (in my case an Arcanist) get to start with a Simple weapon?

If you haven't seen ultimakh1's Memekarp build yet, it's here. I've been wondering how well that build would really be able to do at low levels. This game seems like the perfect setup to test the build and find out how it plays while still getting to have some regular old roleplaying fun of my own. I've been reading up on EO, as I'd never heard of the series before, and it sounds like lots and lots of fun. At the very least, I know I will actually be picking up one of the DS/3DS games no matter how this recruitment goes. So, if you're okay with Memekarp, then you can basically see how it will look up to Level 30 just by checking kh1's sheet there, and I will make a Level 5 version with an actual Trainer with a backstory, the Elemental Connection (Water) Edge, and numbered Edges and Features.

This does look like fun!
Looking trough the document I couldn't help but notice that not everyone is quite 100% human. That combined with the free Elemental connections inspired me to roll a curious forest spirit (Druid + Roughneck for a nice tree-y tank).
So just before I get too deep in that idea I thought I'd just check; non-human and a bit fantastical PCs are okay I hope?

Posting interest! I'm a big fan of the Etrian Odyssey series and other DRPGs. (In fact, I was planning to run my own Poketrian Odyssey. ) I'll set some time aside today/tomorrow (finals is next week) to get my character built. Is there going to be a PO: MD specific skype chat, or are we just talking about it on the main skype chat?

All right! Rough draft of Nette the Forest Spirit is up. The character itself is mostly done. What's left to do is figure out which starter to try for and what to actually put on the wishlist! Also, just another random question, but what are the questions on Sariah's questionnaire? Just the three mentioned or is it like a personality test or something : )?
