Cirque du Celeste [play-by-post, slice of life campaign][FULL]

Remember when I said I was gonna play a snake charmer?

I lied (kinda)!

They are more or less done. Maybe minor changes down the line, but they are fine for now. So now I'm ready to play. In the meantime, STATISTICS YEAH!

Spoiler:

Interesting...
On a similar note, Risky's basically finished. Just need to do the questionnaire and get a final approval on him.
His combat's a little gimmicky though. It's based on using Blind Rage to interrupt his own attacks, becoming blinded to increase his damage using Blind Fighting without the blind having a chance to prevent that specific attack.
If you wanna veto it that's fine, I can rebuild without too much of a problem.

Dammit you would pick the day when I have double the homework to do to start the game up.

I can't believe  I missed Senshukens earlier remark...

Anyhow... I started the campaign. Because why not? Since it's slice of life, starting things off easy to let you interact with one another seemed appropriate so... this first part is downtime, getting yourselves set up and resting from the journey.

And letting me watch as you guys squabble over who gets to live where with who. Squabbling is fun.

Paper, I just want to say I love that character concept, but if Viper doesn't try pulling a Kabat some point and mesmerise a pony, I'll be disappointed.
Kal... that combat sounds rather interesting, actually, so using it is fine with me.

EDITWhat can I say, Bronymous? Mine is an evil laugh.

Now, in fairness, I do have to finish a short document with some information pertinent to things... but I should get it done in a day or so, and it's nothing major. In short, Three Ring only recently took over, and longer serving circus members (5+ years) would be more familiar with the former management.

Oh cool, we started. Let's shimmy over to the corresponding thread then.

You got that PM with the questionaire I send you, TheCavalry?

...I'm too late aren't I.

Maybe, if it doesn't move hyper fast I can say I slept in?

Wait do you mean, you are too late?

You're on the players' list and the campaign thread itself has like 5 posts, so I don't see what the problem is.

Nah, you're fine.

Since so e people were asking, thought I'd start it so you guys can start fighting arguing squabbling slice of lifing.

Anyone who hasn't finished their sheets yet and still wants to play? Finish it off and then we'll use the old hand wavium to explain your introduction. Simple.

So...minor update. Posted some background information, but as it breaks down:

Three Ring has been running the circus for about the last four-five years. If you were there longer than that, you worked for her father and 'uncle' Daring, with her serving as a clown. If you've been there for longer than that, you may also have been familiar with Cake Face when she was chief clown.

It's a generational thing, basically. I don't want to ascribe hard numbers to it, until I figure out some details, but for reference, Three is probably about 20 years old now. Daring is closer to sixty, and he and Top Hat ran the circus since they were about her age.

hmm I have a character but you prob wouldn't have any room for a necromancer in the circus

So just to be absolutely clear, nobody knows the Snake talks, right? And also, just because, what is Tan's Cutie Mark?

Don't think so and no idea.

Ok so here is Hela Prose she will be joining you in the game. She joined the crew after they left the previous town hoping to teach others about necromancy and why it should not be feared right off the bat. plus she always wanted to join the circus when she was little. she was hired on only as help because Three Ring thinks "necromancy is creepy." she hopes to be able to do a show of her own someday.

I think you have to wait for TheCavalry's approval before you can just toss your character into the campaign.

so, should I roll? Flare wasn't pulling, but she's both a baby dragon, and she should be setting stuff anyway...

Well, I did mention being "lazy"... ; )

Yeah, roll it.

2. Darn.

She hasn't joined the party yet. sorry I kind of screwed that up. im going to let thecavlry handle the introduction for my character.

I rolled a 17. I've got it in the post to prove that I got it, but what do I get for it?

Nobody knows indeed, and Tan's CM is three grapes. Also, I should also point out that I have no interest in RPing as Tan, I will leave that with Calvary...

Anyway, Brony the Mous, which one of us were pulling the wagon?

Neither, apparently. I thought we had guys that specifically did that. According to our posts we were both asleep, so... yeah.

Erm, well I had technically not said than Tan was asleep, just inside practising when I posted, soooooooooo...

Inside practicing when we arrived... meaning he wasn't pulling. Nice try.

Where does it say that Tan was inside?

In my post where I said I tapped on the window to get his attention.
