The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Okey-dokey. I await Vekky's and DoN's confirmation before Kraskor can start featuring in my posts.
Ok, after looking through – Darvaleth, I think your vamp looks ok. Good in combat but no magic and nothing over powered.
Jack – The background for your character is fine, though your stats are too high. You are trying to create a character which is equal to those who are around now, but those have characters have spent the whole role play growing.
Secondly there is going to be a power drop from this RP to the next, so everyone has some growing room. However those characters that have stuck with the RP will have advantages to brand new characters. Not huge unbalancing ones, but advantages nonetheless (for example Graveclaw would still be stronger beyond the normal limits in the sequel).
As people are making up characters for the sequel already, here are a couple of things to bear in mind.
Something will happen which will weaken the vampires (make the RP more of a struggle rather than just walking over everything). So with that in mind the average for a vampire lord will drop from 5 to 4. Certain stats will be capped at 6 such as raw strength, magical power etc. Existing characters will be affected, but if they have spent a long time in the current RP exceptions will be allowed. Again an example is that Graveclaw would probably be allowed a higher strength than 6.
If new characters are created for the sequel, even by existing players like myself, they will not be allowed any exceptions.
That’s not to say people shouldn’t create new characters, I for one will be. I think many characters have reached the “limits” of their evolution and players should look to try something new.
As for how many characters – people who have consistently posted can start off RP’ing two main characters. New or inconsistent posters can only have one. Both can be increased as the RP progresses once we have got into the story.
I do have more info about the sequel, but unfortunately I cannot post it without revealing plots for the current RP. As soon as I can I will post it up so people can make more accurate characters.
@ Simon, if you can reply in the chapter? You two as well Vekky with you know what

Oh man, you're absolutely right. Face, meet palm. Modified my character. Lower power levels will make things much more exciting and of course allow for more development, excellent 
By the way, I thought it was rather lame back in the day when one army lost and the other army proceeded to just re-raise everything. It makes for very anti-climactic battles in which pyrrhic victories, sacrifices and the like are basically impossible because everything can be re-raised. So I suggest that it shouldn't be possible for vampires to control unlimited amounts of troops, you need both power and skill while necromancers can help a little with it. And troops should be able to be damaged beyond re-raising. Also, you would need a significant amount of Dhar to re-raise armies as the magic dissipates from the broken undead minions and you need something to rebind them with.
That's just an idea to make the battles more exciting rather than all-in no-holds-barred winner-takes-all deathmatches, not much at stake with those o_o

Sorry, Kraskor just sorta scraped into Victarias' inspection. He's just such an attention-seeker.
hey everybody just so you know I'm still trying to post but my nets broke at my house and the Landlord hasn't fixed it yet so My posting will be abit slow for awhile

Um, you do know we already have that in our battle sequences?
BTW, I'm still idling here. can we get things move a little? I haven't had a reason to post in the main threads for weeks now.
@snowblood: Your character needs to be edited, and I think there's a few things you should know. Firstly, our stats run on a scale from 1-10, so nobody can have a 12 in anything. Secondly, the average is 5 for stats, you can think of it as a baseline(younger Carsteins particularly will follow that fairly closely). Lastly, as TVC is ending soon there's a cap on powerful characters entering. So if you still wish to enter in the current TVC your character will have to be toned down quite a bit.
Hi Snowblood,
Yes your character is far too powerful. Even if this RP was not drawing to a close I would not accept her. As Sweeny quite rightly stated, you need to bear in mind that the average for a vampire lord who is a Carstein is 5. You need justification to go higher than that, and even then it should only be a few points higher. Characters cannot start maxed out or they have no room to grow. You are comparing your character to those who have been in this RP for 3 years, Unfortunately yours must start much lower and build up. Oh yes, and you cannot have a stat more than 10 without really good reasoning which your character does not have.
On the positive you have created a great character with good background, personality etc. You just to amend your stats.
@ Sweeney – I am waiting on Simon & Vekky to post, especially Vekky as there is a plot development happening at the moment.

And a very good supplement it was as well Vekky - I forgot how well you can write :tongue: But I need you to reappear at Drakenhof so the next move can be made.
I wonder where Simon has got to as well.......

So where large enough for you know what and out of the way. The Duke will then walk in...........
Thankyou for your feed back on my character proposal. And sorry for maxing her out, yes I was using the other characters as a basis and forgot to think of development time.
I have off set a couple for I have nicked a point above the base line with weaknesses of toughness and strength, (she is not known for brute force but accuracy with her blade).
It does pain me to hear that TVC is drawing to a close.
Will there be another story after this to get involved in. In a second note if I was accepted into this one at the end, I was wondering how to do this.
as an antagonist I presume,
One of the blood dragons is with his entourage, then suddenly 'boom' his bodyguards are scattered and out of the shadows steps this beauty and slice a mortal or should that be immortal wound (obviously as the killing blow is reigned down it is parried by a third party and Snowblood escapes in a puff of smoke. But who hired this assassin was the carstiens? Treachery is afoot.

Okay, sounds good.
This is almost comically inoppurtune timing, but my internet just went out earlier this morning, so my posting might be a little sporadic until it get back up again. I'll do my best, though, considering that everything is getting a little bit more important.

Well that solves that then. Haven't read the last 3 dozen chapters that have gone by without me. Eagerly awaiting the plot development for this sequel... could some kind chap fill in the missing chapters in the summary please?
Mr Nightwere
Necromancer
I think there should be a list of things that characters should try to follow in the TVC like with battle sequences and such just so that new people know what to do in certain situations.
Just to let you all know there is a slight delay on posting for me as am I putting together the next Invocation - but then no one else seems to be posting either? o.o
