The fact that Malus, and his weapon are from Warhammer explains much for me, since I know nothing about it. The thing is that if you had waited a little longer, the villains would begin their reprisal. However, I'm going to acelerate that plan. I was going to put it off until Vyras' retirement party, which was coming up soon.

So with a character as many powers as Malus, I have two constraints that I am imposing on your character, or else I fear he will be too powerful.

1) You can maraud withh 1-5 other raiders at most. Anyone remember the schenanegans I pulled off with Nin Walaan, the crazed native necromancer. At one point, using his vast army of undead, he almost sunk the boat the other roleplayers were on. That's my fear when it comes to characters as powerful as that. Not that I don't trust you not to do that, you've been rping longer than I have. It's a constraint that I'd put on anyone. Even Vyras with his undead army has that constraint.

2) Some of your abilities drain Malus' strength more than others, A weakened Malus will be easier for a vampire to sway, or outright overpower; I'm not going to have vampires do that without your permission though. I'll leave it to you to decide which ones. Your character is so powerful that I fear he'd make short work of any opponent. With as many abilities as he has. I fear that you'll get bored of Malus, since I'll hardly be able to come up with a challenging scenario for him

There's some benefit to playing these kinds of characters though. Alternatively, you can send out raiders to act in Malus' stead. You can spend vampire fangs, or just send out marauders to plunder for equipment. And your army is in the background, so you have a nearly endless supply of Raiders since you kept it vague in your bio.

1) There's a part where Malus' bio mention he was captured many times, or been one of the few survivors after a failed campaign, so he was meant to begin the RP alone.

2) Makes sense, seeing as Malus basically loses control of himself which causes self-damage. Even in the lore, he inevitably loses his own soul, a consequence of his ambitions. His Warpsword, for example, ends up consuming all his blood until he's just a soulless husk. We can rationalize that, the more cruelty and violence he performs, the more blood he himself loses, a result of centuries of slaughter and his cursed weapon, and demonic soul within.

Due to the nature of his bio and where it comes from, his distant family and homeland is basically plunged into never-ending civil wars. He's an experienced commander and admiral, but it's hard for him to get ahold of any stable source. He's more of a loner type who hates everything who just happens to be highly skilled.

Also, I forgot to intro him last night, will do so soon.



Oh, and I forgot to emphasize, but Malus' mindset is broken. He was planned to argue with himself, have mental breakdowns, and get lost in hatred, leaving him vulnerable until the desire for violence erupts or gets him into vulnerability.

Sorry that I took so long to post in Omega, Annie, I was preoccupied with so many things.

On the bright side, I bought a new chainsaw, a Husqvarna, which made quick work of even the larger logs. I am very happy with the new chainsaw, it's about four times faster and stronger than my previous Stihl chainsaw. It was only a hundred and seventy bucks more expensive but way better. What I dislike about American chainsaws is that they fall apart, starting with a screw here or there, then the plastic gets loose, then it goes downhill from there. So far, the Husqvarna never seems to wear out so that'll make my life way easier.

Also reading my friend's published book, I never would have guessed she'd go that far, but she did. It's quite peculiar that I've read an author's project as a critique partner, only to later find out that book I read is now published. This has happened twice in my life thus far.
Oh, and the book's called Aster's Coda Exposure by Amy Rosenfeldt.
The other one is called The Era of Darkness: The Acquisition by Elizabeth Lenz.
Neither book got far, but who knows what the future holds, and it's always an achievement to get a book finished, or published, even if basically nobody buys them! Gotta start somewhere, after all.

So I'm burned out on Vampyro, and the research paper is taking priority. It's due on Nov. 7 I need to have everything done by then. I noted what's been posted. I just have to focus on other things. Please note that I have not cancelled Vampyro, just need to take the time to outline the paper, then write the first draft. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

I AM HERE!

Wearing an IRON HAT!

...

Silliness aside, what do you think the party in Vampyro needs, if a new character were to show up? I'm... uh... asking for a friend. A friend who would slap everyone in the thread with a wet noodle if they received a weak response like, "we'll take anyone. LITERALLY ANYONE. EVERYONE'S LEFT US FOR DISCORD AND THEIR CUTE CATBOIS ON FF14; WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?!".

Well, Pink just said he's putting Vampyro on hold due to schoolwork. I don't blame him.

I did have an RP in mind which would be based on the Warhammer world, as Imgur has two maps available showcasing the entirety of Norsca and a big chunk of the Dark Elf land. I was thinking of a RP based on that, conflict amidst the Dark Elves and Norsca, but I also wanted minor subplots, as there are the Dwarves of Kraka Drak, and in theory Skaven and Men could be pirates along the Sea of Claws and Sea of Chaos. However, I don't know if this is what users want to RP with, seeing as activity and membership are minimal and there doesn't seem to be any future.

Well, yeah. Pretty sure I'm the only consistent lurker left. Make of that what you will.

And I'm sure my... uh... friend... will take about two weeks to churn out a bio anyway. I get the feeling it's best to ask what a group is missing, so as not to go on a tangent with a totally original character nobody knows how to interact with.
