So, just what is Satori VOD you ask? Well, that's a great question. An even better one is why the hell I'm writing like this. Well, to make a long story short, I just got back from work after an 8 hour shift, and I'm an idiot right now :blink:

Anyways, this topic is basically the result of a decision-I am displeased with how Satori turned out. Don't get me wrong, you guys that played in it did an awesome job, but my storyline was bad and it was too quick. I'm doing this to guage interest, not in a remake of the original, but a sequel.

I have a plot and storyline I feel worthy of my fellow RPGers, but I still have alot of work to do to prep things. What I want to know is if and when you would like such an RPG to begin. This is mostly because The Gathering is going on right now and Baldur's Gate will be taking off shortly. Both of these are major RPGs, so I'm not sure if now is the best time to start another, but the idea is there.

From here its up to you guys to decide B) Peace out.

As I said last night "COUNT ME IN!" :D Doesn't really matter when for me,I just want to see what you have instore for us (As long as it isn't more damn immortal dragons :bang: )

I'm tossing my demon crown of spikes in, bring it on :wolfy:

Well if you guys need a punching bag for this one let me know.

Tyde,just one piece of advice...don't go asking for the help of someone who's an unknown quantity this time around. Anyways,I guess I'd better start work on a new character for whenever this gets underway :beers:

Well guys, I can tell you right not that you might now want to start planning out your characters real early. If everyone doesn't care about what time it begins, then I will start as soon as possible, however I need to let you know right now that you'll want to know some of the backstory before you plan characters. Race and such will have an adverse effect on how your charafcter will respond to some of the situations in this rpg.

Celestial,just give me what I need to know and I could have a character worked up in a few hours(along with some artwork for said character) May the games begin :bang:

Same here bub, so let's get this spiked ball rolling :wolfy:

Same here. Tell us what we need to go, and I can get something ready. I might accualy be able to salvage an idea I talked with you previously about..

This might be the place we've been looking for to dispose of a certain unpleasent species of lizard too. (Damn unkillable dragons. :wolfy: )

Sorry bloods, but I don't think I want them to show up in this rpg. This RPG is going to be very different from the first one. If you want to you can incorperate their demise into the backstory somewhere :beers:

I know you guys want to get started, but still have quite a bit to do. I will try and get up some more details later tonight after my Creative Writing course.

Later,
Tony

Personally,I'm willing to wait till it's ready C,I'm sure you'll come up with another cracker

If I ever see those god damn lizards ever again, it'll be too soon and it won't be pretty :wolfy: [666]

Hear Hear,I'll be having myself a big ass barbeque with those fuckers. I couldn't stand how only one weapon could truly harm them,and we weren't even told about this till the end of the damn thing :wolfy:

You think the Torrasque are bad.. I COULD have the swordians go on a genocidal rampage through-out existance.. systimaticly eleminating EVERY single life form in the intere infinate universe..

Then again.. with the exception of calming.. most swordians never really gave a damn about anything else...

Mmmm.. I suppose I could work their destruction into the backstory.. wouldn't be as fun as letting you guys finally tear them apart for all the trouble they caused though.. Hrrrmmm.. I'll have to give the torrasque issue more thought.

If those tuna fish show up anywhere else but in Hell Guard or some other "officially" wacky RPG I'll need to bring out the big guns :war:

Uhoh, I'm having one of my sadomasochistic moments, yes that's right, one of those moments where I start smacking around a bees nest just to see if I can run away fast enough! Or light myself on fire just to see how fast I can put myself out!

Anyway bloodstorm, I think it'd kick ass if you brought a heaping pile of torrasques into the RPG! In fact if you bring the torrasque into the rpg, I'll give you some imaginary cookies!

(Points at something destracting and runs away)

The thing is Kaiser.. they're not really suited to ANY rpg... wacky or not.. which is why I'm not going to use them.. I just used them as a example to show that the Torrasque isn't the worst thing I'm capable of.

Besides.. you know the swordians aren't fish, you wanker. :P


As for Mr.Z... <picks up a bee's nest and slamdunks it on Mr.Z's head> These are special ninja bees that are immune to the ninja displacement trick.. as well as anything else you can do... Infact I grew them in a lab just to deal with your Zany-ness.

Okay, it's time for some more information. First let me tell you that a date has been set for this RPG. It will officially start up on December 19th, why you ask? You'll just have to find that out for yourself ^^

Satori: Veil of Darkness

Without further ado, the prolog/introduction:

Almost one hundred years have passed since the fires of the last Dragons of the Zoa were extinguished. All but one of the original three ancient races still exists. The Advent have gone into hiding just near the rim of the universe, out of the reach of Darkness. Earth has fallen into a pit of despair, the first place touched by the decay of evil. It is the sole lair of the Atravoris, Left hand of Darkness, and its daughter.

There exists no resistance to the pestilence slowly spreading through the universe. Every year more worlds are swallowed up into the shadows to be harvested for raw materials to fuel the ambitions of the greatest of all evils.


The RPG itself:

Veil of Darkness will entail the arrival of a second generation of warriors to defend the universe from an evil that threatens not only all life here, but in the multitude of alter dimensions, realities, and universes in existence.

A points system will be used to determine the influence of Darkness on each character. Points will be awarded based on what characters do during the RPG. These points will have an effect of how influenced by Darkness characters can be.

*While use of a g-unit does provide resistance against the influence of the dark powers, humans especially are still susceptible, especially the closer their proximity to the infernal pit, source of all Darkness’ powers.


Got character questions? Catch me on MSN, or just email me: tony@fierce-studios.com. Please write 'VOD question' in the subject line so that I respond to it as quickly as possible.

I still have to come up with a selection of races for this rpg. If you have your own race that you would like to use for your character, contact me about it first to be approved. I'm not trying to restrict your options here guys, but I do intend to make sure that there are no supre-powered characters, or ones with special abilities that protect them from the special effects of Darkness and other elements in this RPG. I will most likely approve all characters that stay within these boundries.

Original characters must be used. All new one's folks :lol:

What happens when darkness consumes you? (Which will happen to Kaiser very quickly I expect.) Will your charecter not be under your control anymore? Or are you like a weapon of the enemy or somthing?

How about characters that were created for another rpg (or another version of the this rpg) that never accually got used?

Hmm, count me in too Celestial, I owe it to you join this one and stay with it ti'll the end as pentiance for my sin to the last.

So true, and you all know it'll happen, so be wary...wonder what a Trans or Annex would behave like under this influence of darkness [666]

I begin a motion to forbid Kaiser from using a trans or an annex as a character, on the grounds that we allready have the gathering being used as a playground for those things. :P

Anyone second the motion?

(IT's not that I dislike organisms or think we have to many.. I just want to see if kaiser can play a serious rpg without using one)

MMotion seconded Blood. I'd like to see Kaiser come up with soemthing completely new [666]

Alrighty then, new concept coming up... :beers:

I'm sorry guys. I really had hoped to start this today, but I have to work almost all day today. Sorry guys :(

No worries bub, I have complete faith in your abilities to start up and RPG and finish it *cough* unlike Tekno *cough* :rolleyes:

and on that note i will never start another RPG. i will simple sit back and throw out ideas but i will never again start one. <_< {err}

so what the history on this one again?

I'm sorry I haven't got back to you yet on this Tekno, I've been so fricken busy lately {err} I did post up the history on the first page, a little further down. If you've got more-specific questions I MAY be able to answer them depending upon how much of the story they reveal...which is under lock and key :bang:

Anyways, here are the races I have so far finished. I intend to come up with at least three more, so don't take these as the only ones available:

Celarian
History – The celarians are a mostly aquatic species from a world entirely covered in ocean. They are incredibly agile in aquatic environments, and hold great advantages over other species in such environments because water is the source of all their powers.
Celarians posses the ability to manipulate water into any shape and form to achieve various feats. This is also their disadvantage though, as Celarians cannot survive without passing oxygenated water through their gills to breathe. Thus being, they must be equipped with a device that sustains them through oxygenated water. Though not the most technologically advanced of the remaining races, Celarians are incredible hunters with great intellect that allows them to adapt quickly to most situations.

Sai
History – The Sai are probably the youngest amongst all the races, but possess a unique evolutionary path that has granted them much potential. At just barely ninety thousand years old, the Sai race has quickly passed through levels of technology to become space faring, though barely. They are a highly religious society that practices their beliefs through martial arts study. Of all the races, they are the most dangerous in close combat, possessing a unique agility and expansive combat knowledge. Their belief in the almighty only increases their ferocity in battle.

Devian
History – The Devian are the most technologically advanced of the remaining races. They possess the most powerful space faring navy, which they keep well hidden from darkness. Devians have great intellect and are natural-born scientists. They are not powerful by themselves, but their technology more than makes up for their lack of use in battle.


That's what I have so far. If you've got suggestions I'll give a look over, just pm or email me ;)

FYI: This rpg is going to happen, as soon as I get the prep work done. Just trust me that the wait will be worth it

don't worry and take your time. if anyone here knows what happens to a rushed rpg it's me.......and we all don't what to see that happen to someone else.

best of luck to you.

Thanks alot for understanding Tekno :lol:

Like I said, if you guys have any questions feel free to ask :beers: and if you have any suggestions for this rpg (eg: things you'd like to see, don't want to see, things you liked from the last satori rpg, and didn't like, rules suggestions, etc.) PLEASE post them ;>

Tony

So we don't have to be one of those races do we :unsure:

I'm wondering that too... I'm feeling the urge to get involved... EEK

Woot to the C man,you've even enticed my lovely fiancé into thinking about RP'ing. As for what race I have a few ideas that I want to work on before I talk to you about them(1 I just feel won't be allowed for various reasons :bite: )

SHH BOY! I haven't been enticed...

yet... :bang:

Well we know whose in charge in that relationship :666: B)

<.<

>.>

Seems like I got an idea ;> I think ill go with Devian. The seem like my type. Ill try and stick to this rpg unlike the first satori.
