If Jod doesn't mind, a character similar to Sey'Taal might be making a return. How I miss that RP.

RIP D':

It died due to, too few actives. RIP indeed.

[Socrates]

On a serious note, that leads to some super-op characters. Up-Up n Away. wooo

 

That's what is worrying me a little. I like that innately the RP seems grounded with levels and stats, but the fact that you can be anything and have any skill does not really seem to help too much. Then again maybe you CAN write-up a character that CAN be anything, however, Jod probably will just say try again.

And I shall make Tei'Wasz just for you Orc XD

Wait. You want to know why I play Codex? That's none of your business! None at all! How do you even know that I play?! STALKER!! WHY ARE YOU STALKING ME?! SHOO! BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!

Oh! You're part of the company that makes it? I don't believe you! Where are your credentials?! Oh. There they are, fiiiine, I guess I can tell you a bit about myself. I like books, cats, and coffee even though I shouldn't be drinking it-...oh. Right, those aren't important, the important thing is that I answer your question: why I play Codex.

It's simple.

It's an escape.

A place where I'm not constantly pushed around by my schoolmates and family alike. A place where it feels as if I actually hold some control over my destiny and what I do. I suppose you could say that even within the limitations of a virtual world, it gives me enough control that it almost feels like freedom; which I don't have in reality. I suppose that it might sound pathetic, but is what it is. Fair enough?

Trouble, pls, that is way too much kawaii in one CS. You even went with a picture of Nowi

[Officer Judy Hopps]

There can never be too much kawaii.

[I-Am-X]

So you're going to kawaii route, eh?

 

Is the level 6 like the starting weapon and throughout the game there'll be chances/stores or so to buy higher level weapons (of course having to sell/get rid of the one your currentely have) or is that one weapon the only weapon you'll ever get in the RP? And if the weapon/items attributes are like the abilities, does that mean picking a weapon will cost us 6 points to have plus additional points to increase the damage/range/etc of the weapon? Or just 5 points to upgrade each attribute for the weapon? Or each attribute is ranked by 1 point (since we get 1 point per level, yes?).

 

Might've been obvious before but I just wanted to clarify.

About Me -

Hmm, well I guess you could say that I am pretty awesome. Or I was. Haven't really been playing basketball after I tore my ACL. NBA dreams kind of went out the door. Kind of just quit....so I decided to try out this thing called Codex that some kids in my lecture were talking about. Wasn't a really big fan of video games before: I always thought that people could just play games outside. 

 

But this game, this game is fantastic! The things you can do! Like there was this one time that I just got in a rhythm, pretty much dodging a blade to the left and the right, pulling some nice pivots like I could when I played basketball, and yet that wasn't even the best part! Its the feeling when you cross blades, because you can feel that weight that they push on the blade! You can smell the rancor from the orc's breath, as he leans in on you even more! I remember playing outside when I was a little kid with sticks, and it always was fun to think we had lightsabers, using our mouths for the 'vrrooooom' and 'klesh' whenever we fought, but we don't even have to make the sounds here! The 'clings' from the blades always spur a little excitement, and I just want to keep swinging and fighting with whoever it may be! I sometimes think I just lose myself in the fight! I'm pumped talking about it now!

 

Oh, you want to know why I decided on playing? Well, as I said before I stopped playing basketball, and I think I just wanted something to do with my free time. Maybe I just needed something to satisfy the competitive edge I had in basketball. Maybe I wanted to make friends since I have none since quitting basketball. Maybe I needed something to cheer me up from my depression. I don't know, I just, I just am happy right now. Codex is a world that I wouldn't mind living in even.

Handle: Pantea

Level: 20

Gender: Female

Race: Saiyan 

Class/Role: Swordsman (focused on DPS)

Abilities:

• Competitive Streak[3]: In Codex, Aaron lives out his competitive edge, making him compete against friend and foe. While this increases Pantea's strength, reflex, and athletics (+1 for attribute point investedl) if the fight is balanced or toward the perceived enemies' side, if the battle lacks the competition that Aaron desires, Pantea becomes lazy, therefore decreasing her strength and athletics (-0.5 for every attribute point invested)

• Energy Burst: Usable n-times per battle, where n is the amount of attribute points invested and energy potions consumed. Allows for a burst of energy to either be used as an omni-directional attack, or as a speed boost to quickly track down enemies

• Zenkai (Saiyans only): Every time Pentea is brought to near-death or killed, (+1 per attribute point invested) can be added to any ability (excluding Zenkai)

• SwordMastery(2)

• Constitution[3]

• Strength[3]

• Perception[2]

• Athletics[8]

• Reflex[7]

Inventory:[You get one  weapon(level 6), one Health Potion or one Energy Potion]

Name: Shino Kirigakure

Age: 19

Gender: Female

 

About Me -

Born a daughter into the illustrious Kirigakure family, I was always pretty isolated from everyone. While a big part of the reason was that most were intimidated by who my father was, the real reason.... let's just say I'm not the friendliest of people. It all started when I was a little girl, I was just your typical (ojou-sama) girl, if you don't mind the fact that I'm quite the tom-boy. Being nice to whoever I could and trying to be part of something and make some friends of my own, and not one who cling to me because of the family I belong to. But the more my father became known, the more people started to shy away and began to look at me with contempt.

 

Over time, I realized things had to change. I gave up trying to help others and get them to like me for me. If they want someone to hate, I'd give them someone to hate. You're probably wonder what this has to do with my reasoning for deciding to play Codex Regius, right? Plenty, I'm getting around to it. Anyways, getting back to it, through this I found my niche, my role in life and one that brought me great joy. Using my status, along with my own strength, I pushed around, demeaned and humiliated people to my heart's content. It was quite thrilling to inflict high amounts of pain to others and make them highly embarrassing and humiliating things.

 

For awhile, it fully satisfied me but eventually I grew bored of it and needed something to quench my thirst. Then one day, it came. It couldn't have came at a better time. The VMMO, Codex Regius. Nothing was like it. I know a little about it beforehand, before it hit the market. How you ask? Well I am the daughter of Soujiro Kirigature and the Kirigature family was one of the games backers after all. Finally, I had a world to lose myself in and cause all the destruction and inflict all the pain I could ever was. My ideal World. How amazing would it be if I made this virtual world all mine? Well, if people wont like me for me...I might as well...

Handle: Allon Taal Cadfael

Level: 20

Race: Gaian - The first Gaians were humans who simply worshiped nature, but they eventually grew some rather unhuman characteristics. In the case of Allon, he has horns, though this isn't the same for all Gaians. In fact, the sheer variety among the race sometimes make them difficult to identify, though they usually have tribal markings that help. (Like the mark underneath Allon's left eye.)

About Me -

"Why do I play Codex? Because what else am I supposed to do with my time?" An aching wheeze escapes the young man, and he takes a moment to brace himself against the door frame. He quickly gathers himself and returns to talking. "I can't exactly go out much right now. I can't even make it to the end of the block. I can barely get around my house at this point." Wheeze.

 

"What's wrong with me?" Wheeze. "I got a punctured lung a few years ago. Turned into an infected one." Wheeeze. "Supposedly, it'll get better, but they've been saying that for years. I just have to" Wheeze. "stay" Wheeze. inside." A hearty final wheeze escapes his lungs, and he spits a globule of something into the bushes.

Out of all the characters I've made CS's for, this one has to be one of the easiests...errr...one where I knew exactly what I wanted my character to be and it all just came to me. Goes up there with My Akane, Riyon and Zhao Mei. xD

 

Everyone is putting Level 20 but I thought since theres 1 point per level, and the fact we're given 30 points, it would be Level 30. Well, I can always change it. Either way the CS would need to be approved of when the time comes. xD
