Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding

The radio crackles away in the corner, the host droning on about the royal wedding as the cafe's patrons gossip about the arrival of the groom's sister and her friends from the country.

You find yourselves in a small, central Canterlot cafe, just on the side of the ever-bustling Sun Plaza Market. It's the day of the wedding, and the procession has just entered the royal palace. Perhaps you were just out watching the procession and you've retired to here to listen to the wedding on the radio, or perhaps you're here on business and just taking a break from the hubbub surrounding this whole royal wedding business, either way, today will be a day to remember.

And the wedding is only the beginning.


---

Welcome to Friendship is Wuxia! I've been meaning to start up this game for a while, with a few players who have been sitting there roped in for a while now.

So welcome to A Canter-Kong Wedding! I'm looking for anywhere between three and six characters for this campaign that will span time and space in a crosstime croup-kicking adventure!

Character Creation:
Characters should be 1st level, and should be from canon races that would be permitted in Canterlot during the Royal Wedding.

The Combat System will not be in use. Instead, the custom Mashu system (adapted from the Wushu open RPG) system will be used for combat.

Magecraft is unavailable. Instead, Arcana directly governs manipulation of your existing utility talents.

Afflictions are in play.

Mashu:

Players:
LoganAura - Uncle - Had a stint in Jackie Chan Adventures and Magic Duel.
Kenzamaka - La Viento - Plagued by questions of how he types with hooves, and whether he takes his mask off to sleep.
Conantheghost - Custard Marsh - Would probably have JRPG protagonist hair if he weren't a pony.
Curunir - Cast Dice - Wears four lucky horseshoes and once swallowed a loaded die.
Linear Analysis - Plowclaw - To his chagrin, the Bureau of Equestrian Names never has time for a griffon.
Lapis-Lazily - Whispersong - You'd be surprised how high a pony can jump when you neigh in their ear.

Is it a Skype game, or a PbP? And any chance of seeing who the "reserved" characters/players are (so people don't end up making overly similar / identical characters)?

It'll be PbP, and I'm waiting for them to come in and actually claim their chairs. So far the concepts I've gotten are 'Uncle' from Jackie Chan Adventures and a pastry warrior (one-armed leather jacket optional).

Speaking of uncle, here's a terribly formatted character sheet just to show what exactly I have. I'll work on the formatting.

Ah, I should have asked whether it was PbP or Skype-  just kinda assumed it was PbP- it's generally pretty clear if it's skype (due to players having to know that they have to be availible at specific times.  Wrong of me to assume though.

Here's my character Cast Dice

Oh, and Logan, looks like Uncle's missing a Utility talent...

Whoo! Finally finished my character for this game. For a Wushu(ish) game, I present a fully Wuxia character. Cliché background, amazing powers and hidden skill. I present:

Five players? Excellent. I'll be looking to get started at the end of this week, or once Kenzamaka has his sheet ready, whichever comes sooner.

Nope, but I did just today get my hands on a functioning headset/mic. Unfortunately, anything loud at night would likely be frowned upon. So I might be rather fluttershy if we do Skype.

Skype also has an instant messaging mode. Basically a faster way to talk to everyone.

Most likely it'll just be using it as an OOC chatroom, so no worries there.

Yes, I suppose I do. Took me a moment to find it, haven't used it in a while, and had to get the password reset.

Question: How would these work (or not) in this system of combat?

Predestined:
- My rolls for that are 12, 16, and 2 by the way. Also put that on my character sheet

That's a good question too.

Which leads me to also wondering about assisting others (either making their attack easier, such as distracting an opponent, or defending others- like Dice trying to convince the crowd to find cover)

Yo Curu? No complaints about the mimicry. At all.

And no this isn't really an idea to help Uncle act more like Uncle from Jackie chan by being a Sifu/Shifu.

Generosity and Predestined work in combat.

As far as helping others - with other PCs I'll roll with +5 to either offence or defence actions for the round. For helping the NPCs... nothing immediate in this combat, since there's few enough opponents that you can draw the attention of all of them yourselves, but hey, getting them to bunker down might just work out in your favour a little down the line.

Noticing that there is still an open slot, I would like to submit Whispersong to perhaps come crashing into this fight in not so graceful fashion.
