Dragon Riders Online OOC #1

Oh. Business trip? Or vacation?

Helping my brother with university application of a country that has a retarded education system

You flew out just to help with a uni application?

Yup, that country needs paper work so I had to be there.... as a guardian.....

my parents are too busy so... yeah....

hopefully in the future, people need only show their holographic visage in such situations and be able to pass for actually being there. (granted the holographic image is live stream where the other party can interact with the "guardian" )

Yeah that would make my life easier... but I think you can do something to make that fake...

Well, there's Skyp.

Wish they accept Skyp

But they don't

Skype. I made a typo lol.

Yeah, they really should. Sucks for you.

And i did not check the spelling... Lol

Well I don't even use skype so... Yeah.... I mean, i don't really see the use of it...

you make a group and then start chatting away with whomever is online within that group. You don't even need to be in eachothers friend list to chat with people in the invited into group.

Skype can be used for conference calls or single friend to friend call over the internet so its free.
Skype can be used as a chatting platform, friend to friend or in groups.
Even one can share their thought/mood of the day by posting it in their status field or update their profile for all skype friends to notice.

It's basically facebook but not on the website. MSN Messenger was combined into Skype and from there it's usage grew to what it is currently used for.

Well, Skype lets you talk face to face over webcam. It's good for conference calls or to talk to someone youddon't get to see often.

Interesting, i mean I knew its uses, but i didn't know you can meet new people there

Apart from Facebook, when the admin said that she was shutting the site down, The-EvilEmpire people shifted to a Skype Group they created. I haven't been on Skype for a long time so not sure how its doing now, but yeah I could chat with people I did not have in my friend list with the ones in the group.

It's not like your standard chat programs like MIRC or the old Yahoo Chats cause these groups (to my limited knowledge) are private channels that most likely people you know off, shared its link or invited you.

Name: Ashley Rhodes

Game ID: Olette

Reputation Name: The White Crusader

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Ashley is a kind and gentle girl, always trying to help others in need. That said, she's not afraid to bash in a few skulls with her handy mace and take matters into her own hands when need be. As a headstrong girl and one with a strong sense of morals, it's difficult to get her to change her mind.

History: Ashley was brought up in a well-to-do family, overly concerned with what is right and proper. Whenever Ashley wasn't being watched and forced into piano lessons or sitting through tea time, she was off in the garden having magical adventures. She always dreamed of fantasies far away and adventures to sweep her off her feet. When she was in college, she heard of other students discussing the game and became intrigued about the idea of being able to really experience fantasy. The idea of nurturing and bonding with a dragon had her completely sold.

Name: Samir Ben-Arba

Game ID: Retica

Reputation Name: Hawkeye

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Retica has a sharp tongue and pushes people away with his quick judgments. He's actually a very sensitive and caring boy, but he hides behind a tough, abrasive façade to protect himself.

History: Samir immigrated to the United States with his mother when he was a young boy. They escaped an abusive father and were left with little money. Samir was always kind and supportive to his mother, but his hard experiences made him moody and distrustful of others. The city makes him feel pressed in on all sides, and the idea of escaping into an open world of freedom where he could roam the skies appealed greatly to him. He saved up all the spare money he could to get a copy of the game.

Name: Ocenyx

Gender: Male

Main Type: Hybrid

Sub Type: Ice + Chaos

Offense★★★★★★★★☆☆

Speed ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
Health ★★★★★★★★★★
Rate of Growth ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Size ★★★★★★★★★★

Ability of Your Dragon:

Frozen Trunade - Unleashes an icy blast from the dragon's wings that can freeze nearby enemies.
Frozen Verdict - Spouts a torrent of large icicles from the dragon's chilly breath.
Dark Pressure- Surrounds the targeted area with invisible dark pressure, making its presence unknown and hindering its enemies movement.
Doppelganger - Splits the dragon's shadow from its main body temporarily to allow it to attack. The shadow cannot be harmed, but while active no other skills can be used.

So Olette is pretty much done. I still have to do Retica's dragon. I haven't decided if he should go for a water dragon or a chaos dragon, since his spell type is a mixture of the two (to show his contradictory natures of abrasion and nurturing). Or I guess I could go hybrid. Thoughts?

Go for hybrid, if you don't mind having slow growth

Besides, growth of your dragons gets to be accelerated as the RP progress so it shouldn't be a problem

Ashley looks good

Hmm. Any suggestions on a hybrid then? :0

Thanks.

You mean like skill suggestion or which hybrid to go for?

Which one to go for. Skill suggestion too, if you like. :0

For Hybrid

Spoiler:

And one of the spell I would suggest as Water + Chaos

Spoiler:

And change this skill

Passive Skill - Eye of the Mind (Novice Tier) - ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Allows the user to supersede ability with determination, hitting ranged targets that would ordinarily be impossible.

into a buff that lasts one post (or put time limit as 10 seconds and have its duration increases as he masters it)

Looks good. :0

Sounds like a useful trick.

All righty.

Nex, what if I go for a sub-type hybrid? How would that work? Cause your example shows an example for two identical modifiers, but not one where they're different. For instance:


Water Dragon
Average Stats
Offense +
Defense +
Speed No Change
Health +
Rate of Growth -
Size No Change

Chaos Dragon
Average Stats
Offense No Change
Defense +
Speed -
Health -
Rate of Growth +
Size +

Does the water dragon's + and the chaos dragon's no change mean for offense it comes out to +?
Does a plus on both sides mean bonus addition?
Does a + on one side and a - on the other for the same value mean they cancel out to no change?
