Role-play School: The Lessons Begin!

[Lizmun]

watches as laach extends his hands into the air and ask for Ryciera and then imitates him asking "Yes.. umm.. how do I.. Spice up my role playing?"

 

[Malocchio]

Athena offered a light smirk towards the next questioner, meandering towards the corner of the room as she met his voice, noting him as she seen he was quite.. alone. Raising a questioning brow, she folded her hands together before speaking, a smile crept across her dainty expression before answering; Toxiclord

"Well, you see. I'm not sure if you'you've actually seen me in a real fight, or anything because you could take notation of such, hah. Say, you character is weak, or something and they end up in a mess, a fight, rather.. Accordingly, if they are unable to fight.. Yes, they could dodge, and attempt to flee, and roll away from the attack in order to keep their self from being brutally injured, and all-"

She pauses as he popped his shoulder back in place, cringing, gritting her teeth together slightly as she attempted to shake the extremely disturbing sound of that off and out of her head before lowering her voice as she spoke, yet again.

"Anyways.. Yes. If your character is weak, he, or she might get quite the injuries, however a play can not kill off your character without permission, unless you're participating in like.. Regalian Guard roleplay, or Crimson Inquisition roleplay.. Or, if you break the law and attempt to assassinate a noble and all, aha. But yes. Any more questions..?"

 

[Posidem]

Curious of this school and what it's about, Posidem enters. He sits in the back to watch and view, here to answer any magic related questions if needed. When people pass by him a "Hmph." can be heard.

(robbiey3)
Seransic gives a smile, with a noticeable crossbite and uneven teeth.
"Not too much, just moreof... a sort of thing I wonder is if guards will be ordered or have been told to do anything against the more... 'broken' people..."
Seransic waves his hands around his eyes, keeping them open as they begin to water from him forgetting to blink.
It's not like it's important or anything, right?
"Sort of like the silver eyed, or are they sort of just shunned out like all of the one's I've seen?"
Seransic feels a bit worried asking that in the first place, if they do anything against silver eyed, he's as good as dead.
Then again, even a teacher wouldn't have the audacity to turn against their student, would they?
He can feel his head swirling about a bit, as vividly wild colors begin to droop into his vision.

 

[Nyaninja21]

Wondering what all the commotion is about, he wanders into the auditorium and looks around. Upon seeing the teachers and the lesson being held, he raises an eyebrow and he sits down out of the way, curious as too what questions will be asked next.

 

[Ryciera]

She stood in the middle of the stage, eyes wide and lips pursed. However, at the opportunity to preach, she turned to Laach and straightened her back, "A vampire should always act subtly in public." Her face was stern, despite the discomfort of sitting in front of everybody, "As the threat of the Regalian Guard and the Crimson Inquisition is pressing down upon those gifted, if they do not act subtly in public, they might as well be stepping out of the sun and into their grave." Her frown deepened at his next question, "...A-As for whether blood does have that effect on us..." a pause, "Er... yes. All vampires are strongly drawn to blood -- especially younger vampires. Even the oldest, wisest vampires have a difficult time resisting the scent of exposed blood. Younger vampires will likely go into a bloodlust and attack the source of the exposed blood. Older vampires may be able to control themselves, but it is, regardless, incredibly difficult."



Alison seemed a bit at a loss on the next question, though, letting her gaze flicker to Lizman1000. However, from behind the curtain, and intriguing figure in a red robe stepped. His skin was pale and his long hair weaved in an ashen gray braid. His ears were large and pointed. Umon Pelinelion offered a small smirk, "I believe I can answer that." He gently brushed Alison aside, casting a smirk in her direction, before suavely turning his attention to the audience, "To spice up roleplay is to really get immersed and have fun with your writing. Quite a few people enjoy spicing things up by throwing in colorful words to emphasize certain points. For example, I rarely simply smirk at people." He glanced about, "A smirk may trickle onto my face, however." His smirk faded into a grin, "Taking advantage of your wordplay can help change a good roleplay into a juicy one." Another pause, "Flavor text is another thing people have been enjoying -- whereupon you place brackets, parentheses, or asterisks on a sign around descriptive text. Flavor text allows a roleplayer to look about and get a better image of a scene. For example, you may come across a plain looking bed. Due to in-game mechanics, you cannot make the bedsheets look much different. However, if you placed a sign around the bed saying, perhaps, [the bedsheets are a mess] or [the bed smells like urine] or even [there are rose petals scattered over the sheets], it helps set the scene. Personally, whenever I'm having a beautiful woman over..." he flashed a coy look to robbiey3, "I generally put quite a bit of flavor text in my home. Including, [candles seem to cover all the surfaces, creating a sultry mood], and [the smell of roses waft about]. As she may grow nearer the bedroom, she may notice a sign saying, [a faint music plays from within, suave and cool]." At this point, he chuckled and gestured for more people to ask away.

 

[Darknesscrusher]

((If you were to have any plebian related questions, I suppose I could help.))

 

[Oxoman]

Anthony shuffles in his seat, beginning to get a little tired of sitting down. Feeling that he had, by then, regained enough of his dignity, his e roam the room in search of one of the magic teachers, finding two, Green_Hood and Posidem, he addressed his question to both. " You see, what with the new forms of magic having been discovered, how appropriate would it be to have a small 'cult' of mages outside of Regalia?' He nervously awaited a response from the tutors, unwilling to be further ridiculed.

 

[Green_Hood]

The elf, hands clasped behind his back, grinned and waggled his eyebrows at the Senator's whisper. He held his dented staff, in which he'd used to imitate mages for ages, in hand and would use it to tap the seat of BrunchingPadre to garner his attention. "Aha. Ask away, as you will. Magic isn't too difficult once you get a feel for it, hmm? You'll be a wiz in no time." He'd smirk at his own pun, thinking it much more clever than it actually had been.

With the approach of the other man, Oxoman, he turned, keeping an ear on the previous for his question, and cocked his head while considering the question. "Aha. Well, as you can see here, the Regalian law on magic is somewhat widespread, meaning any mage 'cult' on a continent that adheres to its law will have to hide itself. However, not every continent is under Regalian control. As it says in the new magic lore, we elves are much more accepting and tolerant of mages and their like, so any free mages, or groups or 'cults' will most-like be in Daendroc. So, in short, and to answer your question, a small 'cult' would be appropriate if their location was within elven territory where their persecution would be little to none."

 

[Lord_Deadpool]

Entering the auditorium as silantly as posible,he looks to the stage seeing a groop of teachers that seem as nervus as the atending studants. Not whanting to sit down,as he feals limated,he leans on the whall at the back of the auditorium,crosing his arms and starts thincking of questions he choud asck

 

[Green_Hood]

Let's keep all criticism constructive and try to be friendly to any and all people, no matter their level of literacy. This is a school and people are here to learn, not to be put down.

 

[ZeVikingNor]

Slumps into his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. "My apologies."

 

[Posidem]

Posidem allowed the other man to explain, nodding in agreement when he finished his explanation.

((He's Serbian, his English isn't very good.))

Ekrz walks into the room, hoping that the teachers fail to notice that he is a whole day late.
He waits for a free moment, then walks up to talk to Lady Rose.
"Sometimes I have some issues with acctually acting in character, what could be the problem? I understand that vespids would have very different minds to humans, but what else could be the problem?"

 

[Gwyndo]

A young man with pale skin who appears to be carving something into the desk in front of him with a small, hardly noticeable knife raises his hand.
"May I ask a question?"
Clearly interrupting and being what could only be described as ignorant, he continues to speak-
"How does killing work? Murder? If you're trying to act out the job of an assassin, would you say... ask the victim for permission or something like that?... Perhaps the actual role of a roleplay assassin would not to be to kill anyone, just to stage/attempt it, fail (Unless given permission from the victim), get away and ultimately let them know that someone wants them dead... no?"
As he asks this, he looks directly at Ryciera

((I apologise if this question was asked improperly. Everyone seems to be roleplaying whilst asking, so if I've done it wrong please let me know how to better type/lay out my questions. Thanks! ^_^ ))

 

[Lord_Deadpool]

After hearing the other studants,he lifts his hand " If I mey,how dos whan go on with a role play war,such as strategy planing,battles,city attacks,spying,sabotage and such?" (( I am sorry in advance for my grammer))

 

[Sprongo]

Romulus makes his way through row upon row of chairs, his head down and cheeks flushed; the feeling of eyes on him making them redden. He takes a seat, (far in the corner away from any others) squeaking the chair. Muttering an apology to no-one in particular. He shifts to one side, slightly leaning of the side of the chair.

Lady Rose
"Miss?" he asks, sliding his hand up and resting it on his desk, it slips off and he quickly props it back on, his cheeks continuing to blush. "Does speech, um... sorry." he mutters. Romulus coughs and tries again Does speech have to be... in s-separate ch.. chats?.... like, um... like can your character say things in, yeah- um... e: chat, and vice... versa with normal chat with actions incl.. including '-' on either... either side?"

(( Sorry if this is hardly readable, its the way I picture Romulus speaking... ))

 

[UrsaMajor]

The doors to the room let out quiet creek, as Wilfred entered the room. Wilfred looked as if he could be a bit drunk, his hair had been a mess, and his eyes looked as if he had not had sleep in quite some time. Wilfred threw his hands up excitedly "The party has-" he looked around the room seeing everyone's blank stares. Wilfred backed up shyly looking around the room. He noticed several posters that were quite nicely made pointing out the events intentions. Without further hesitation or instruction he found an empty seat. Wilfred raised his hand halfly awaiting for someone to accept his question.

 

[Pandru]

Ryciera

How does one combat vampires? Simply staking doesn't work, as I can combated with them spamming '-dodges-' At what point am I allowed to just, kill them?

 

[Malocchio]

A light grin swept across Athena's lips as she leaned to the man, definitely happy that someone mentioned the combat of vampires. Quietly, she pulled holy water, and a wooden stake from her coat as she muttered, begging to speak although ecstatic. The_Last_Miner1​

​

"Well, dear.. I could certainly say I am skilled in combat of vampires, well, because of the oh-so-lovely Crimson Inquisition. As I combated in the past with Kirslo 's character, Athena did have a few vials of holy water on her, in which she decided that when he went after her, she would chuck the vials to his face."​

​

Silently, she paused, clasping her fingers together again, a bemused smile, and almost smirk lurked her lips as she laughed, shaking her head softly.​

​

"You know you don't need to just kill vampires with wooden objects, y'know? You can still use axes, swords, and bows aha. Suggestively, say it is sunny outside, the sun is bright and all and you drag the vampire by it's throat out into the sun, letting it weaken the vampire, burning it's skin from the rays. I can get more vivid into this topic, but that is just brief, aha."​

​

Grinning slightly again, she turned her head to meander her gaze about, looking for the next student who would question her.​

​

[LadyRose_]

~vVv~​

Color slowly fill her eyes, as she blinks a few times hearing the mans voice, she folds her hands over her dress's bottom, leaving her parasol stuck in an upright position on the stage, she gives him a faint smile as she approaches. finners4444 Giving a slight *Ahem* before she begins to speak, she leans in slightly, "What a lovely question, I would suggest you use the l: chat for anything you're going to say, and e: chat for any actions, though every now and then we slip up chats, I'd suggest you use the chats provided for said things." She gives him a smile before nodding to him, turning around slowly on the heel of her foot, she approaches the stage once again, giving a small wave to the crowd griping her parasol, holding the small handle with a gentle flick of her fingers then a strong grasp. As the color leaves her eyes once again, and she remains frozen.

 

[Sprongo]

(( Lady Rose - Just to clear any further miss interpretations, Romulus is but of 11. Sorry for not making that clear ))

 

[Lord_Deadpool]

((is sombady going to anser my question?))

 

[LimeCrime]

Appeared once again from behind the stage, as she walks out she brushes her hands along her dress. Looks up from her dress and smiles warmly at the crowd, clearing her throat. "I'm once again open for questions!" She peered over the widespread group of people, eyebrows raised, expecting someone to ask a question.

 

[Ryciera]

Umon stepped up to answer the next few questions, placing a hand on his heart. His eyes first flickered to Jack The Unseen, "Generally, what a few of those do back at the village from which I was cast," That is, Haven, "is go ahead and go after the person, but give them the option of escaping or failing." A pause, "For example, when a group of people tried to assassinate the guard, James Warren, they beat him nearly to death, then assumed too early he was dead, and threw him into the canal. He was able to scream for help when he floated by the tavern, thus saving his life." He smirked, "Of course, it's always polite to ask first, but I also encourage you to always give the person a way out in case they want it. Then, their character's death is their choice." He waved a hand, "In short, try to ask permission. Whether or not you do have permission, always offer a way out. This isn't necessarily mandatory, but it's polite. Wouldn't you want a way out if your character was jumped by three masked men?"

He let his gaze slide to The_Last_Miner1, "First of all, I did want to emphasize my last point to you, too. It's quite rude to kill a person's character without permission, so I'd encourage you to always, permission or not, provide a way out for the other character." He caged his fingers, "Vampires, however, are relatively easy to kill. And quite legal. Stakes are one way. Sunlight, another. Please also recall that vampires are not immortal. They will still die from blood loss, trauma, loss of major limbs or arteries left untreated, et cetera. Generally, vampires have a tendency to be more nimble -- not in that they are faster, but somewhat stronger. Especially in their legs and jowels. If you don't want them dodging, find a way to break those nasty little legs of theirs. Alison, dear, will you demonstrate how high a vampire can jump?"

The woman hesitated, then launched herself into the air. For a moment, it seemed as if she was flying. If she drew her legs up, she could have jumped clear over an average human's head. Of course, Umon was significantly taller by about a foot, being an elf, and watched her knees pull up to about eye level. When she landed again, it was surprisingly nimble. She caught herself easily, knees buckling fluidly to take the momentum of such a dramatic jump.

"The legs are a vampire's most evasive technique, so I find. However, it'd be best to cover their face, too, in case they try to bite you." He flashed the woman a coy smirk as he spoke, "You wouldn't want those in your flesh. I hear it's quite painful."

"Also, never catch a vampire in a high place." He looked up, "Likely, they'll jump, leaving you stranded. I believe Alison has some exciting tales about that."
The woman grimaced, volunteering nothing.

 

[Azas]

A wealthy looking business man carefully picked his way through the audience, bumping here and there, until he reached a forward place where his voice would be audible over all the conversations happening around the arena. He raised his hand, and without waiting to be called on, shouted to the young and beautiful looking elven woman. "What is the best way to successfully liberate an enraptured female from her overbearing choice of man, and substitute myself in that masculine role of the relationship?" He finished his spiel by pulling a pipe from within his vest, which he proceeded to light and puff away, waiting for a response. Cassie

[A bit of fun, Arian Crane II style]

 

[LimeCrime]

Raised an eyebrow at the question, tilting her head a bit in thought. Placed a hand on her hip, and looked back at the man. "Well, in a role-play aspect? I'd say plot a scheme to spice it up, make things interesting. Maybe do something to win her over." Wrinkled her nose from the smoke of his pipe, shaking her head a bit. "Maybe try not puffing smoke in her face.." she mumbled a bit, too quiet for the man to hear, anyway. She shrugged, looking to him. "I wouldn't say I'm a woman expert of sorts. Perhaps, if you want to ask about womanizing of sorts.. you could say..? Ask Green_Hood perhaps." She turned around, pointing in the distance to an elven teacher, and turning back to the man, nodding her head with a smile, waiting for a response. "That alright?" Valmyr

 

[ZeVikingNor]

He glances behind him to see Posidem "My goodness it's him! The greatest mage in all of Regalia, at least that is what I infer. Based on his actions and reputation." he whispers, telling the students around him.

(( 'Tis a confusing time, Fong. ))

 

[Nyaninja21]

Finally thinking of a question he could ask, he gets up and quietly moves further up the front, raising his hand.
"What would be the best way of concluding a combat role-play? I mean, what would be the most acceptable amount of dodges could one perform before taking a wound? And would this vary per race?"
Upon asking his question, he quickly looks over towards Ryciera and quietly waits for an answer

 

[Ryciera]

Umon flashed his selfsame smirk to Nyaninja21, before proceeding to move beside robbiey3. A hand rested on her back, and a coy look went her way, "Perhaps that question would be better directed at Lady Lovegood."

 

[Cruallassar]

Cruallassar, having seen the signs advertising it, silently walks into the theater and stations himself in a dark corner on the second level. He may or may not need the services of these lessons, but it will be interesting and perhaps informative to at least listen in. And who knows? Perhaps he will have a question that can be answered here later. In the meantime, he merely lurks under his hood and watches...

 

[CatsGoMoo]

While he slowly edged toward a free seat inbetween two engaged students with a muddled expression obviously laid acroos his face, he glanced awkwardly around toward the teachers and also toward the students of which their attention was directed. When he had reached his seat, seemingly unnoticed, he glanced back to the teacher that was talking. As he strangley adjusted his pants in an attemp go keep them in position he softly placed himself onto the base of the chair, he felt the brush of a small tat against his leg and swun his legs at it furiously, "Shoo you damned rat! Filthy lil' pest," He mumbled sofly to himself before the rat scurried off.
Although still second guessin his question he pulled the oversized and battered sleeve up from his right arm, exposing nothing more than his wrist and he then slung his hand up into the air and abruptly blurting out "Cassie, I find it hard when I try to engage in roleplay, would you have any tips on how to do so? Also if it is no inconvenience I'd like to ask how one would go about finding aquaintances or friends for my roleplay character, because I usually stumble upon the wrong people and end up close to being killed…
Also, robbiey3 My weak point in roleplay would be when it comes to fighting, would you have any good tips for combat? I usually end up running/avoiding it or end up beaten,"
While closing his mouth he begins to regret what he had asked and begins to feel slightly embarrassed…

They're role-playing IC talking OOC about IC stuff.

 

[LimeCrime]

Abruptly turned her head around noticing her name being called, her hair swinging itself back in her face as she does so, bringing up a hand to brush it away. "What a great questions There's many ways to engage in role-play. Also, it always depends on your character, of course. Are you rude and cocky? Your character might bump into somebody, end up meeting them, etc. Are you nice? Perhaps compliment somebody on something, become friends, etc. Shy? That would be a bit more difficult meeting somebody. Before I ever greet somebody I've never met in roleplay, I observe them for a bit. Maybe look at things like how they type, their style of roleplay. Those aspects are very easy to show whether it has talent or not." Smiled warmly at him, arching her back a bit to lean in to hear him better. "Also, engaging in the roleplay also depends on your character, as pretty much everything else does. I'd suggest to just act as if you would in real life talking to somebody. Holding a conversation is pretty much the same!" She smiled once more, standing up straight and tilted her head a bit to the right, her eyebrows raised in question. "Does that answer your question, or do you need anything else?" CatsGoMoo

 

[Nyaninja21]

Nods at Ryciera and looks around quickly for Lady Lovegood, and spots her.
"Excuse me, robbiey3, could you answer my question? What would be the most acceptable amount of dodges could one perform before taking a wound? And would this vary per race?"
After asking his question, he quickly returns to his seat and waits for patiently for an answer.

 

[CatsGoMoo]

(( Sorry for the reply delay, chores have to be done. ))

After the kind lady had finished speaking, he was immediately intrigued by the information and a soft smile was wiped across his face, giving him the look of a which seemed warm and inviting. "Thankyou Cassie, I will make great use of that info! I really do appreciate the help.Once he had stopped talking he once again smiled and concentrated on the current speaker.

 

[Lord_Deadpool]

((no bady is traying to anser my question on war))

 

[Ryciera]

(( Lord_Deadpool: I believe folks are a bit uncertain about your question, or how to answer it. I believe to roleplay a war is a case-by-case thing. That is, each war and how it's played out is drastically different from the next. If you bring up a specific scenario (the who/what/why of a war), perhaps somebody might be able to help a bit more. ))
