Re: OOC Thread

Player 1:
I don't know yet :) Naming characters is a bit hard for me - I struggle with finding good names. I'll make you know, when I have something...


I have unlocked your character sheet... go make your choices...


Talk to me if there's any details you want to discuss... (Maybe your character is mistress of just using brass knuckles or some less-typical weapon than those listed? Let me know...)

Re: OOC Thread

I started working on my character sheet. I have a question: WIS - what does this stat mean in DW, exactly? Intuition, awareness, mental focus..?

Yes, all that. Mostly awareness, like noticing small noises or odd smells that others might miss. But also Willpower...

As one site I just visited put it:

quote:
Wisdom describes a character's willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition. While Intelligence represents one's ability to analyze information, Wisdom represents being in tune with and aware of one's surroundings...

Re: OOC Thread

Alright, I have finished the character sheet (aside from the name). Could you check whether everything fits?

EDIT: Name added.

Everything I see fits... I cleaned it up just a tiny bit...

1. How does one pronounce Leide?

2. Don't forget to pick a portrait... (and, if you want, to fill in a description in the official character description section...)

Re: OOC Thread

1. Uhm... I just realize the name is basically "Lady", but with "eh" at the end. Ha, maybe I'll be changing that name, then :)

2. I tried picking a portrait, but nothing fits :\ Could I go without one?

1. Well, let me know...

2. If we can't find you anything you think fits, then yes. But... give me:
--age
--hair color
--hair length/style
--anything else I should know about description...

Re: OOC Thread

1. Okay, let's simply change Leide to Neide and it'll work for me :)

2. Some details about her looks:

- age: 24
- hair colour: red
- hair style: shortish - half-neck length, razor-cut on the side; typical haircut of the soldiers of Alara's temples
- height: 5'6'', more or less
- athletic build
- reserved, not very friendly demeanor

So..... How'd'y' pronounce it? "Nay-dee" ? "Nigh-dee" ?

Mmm...

"human-caucasian-red hair-short hair" gets me these...

Link back to this game

Expanding to brunettes too got me this...

But then I tried "just show me characters holding swords" and that actually turned up some decent results:

If you don't like any of these, we'll just play on without a portrait... but I kinda like some of these...

Re: OOC Thread

I chose a portrait... just remember it's quite an approximation.

As for the name pronounciation, it's 'Nay-deah'.

Got it :)


Neide:

1. So... "Nay-dee-ah" ? ...Except the last two put together as one syllable? ...Like how a Brit would pronounce "nadir"?


2. Okay so next issue: When we open this story, is Neide ABOUT TO START leaving the organization, or will she have JUST have left them, or will she have left them weeks back?

If you have no opinion, I'm thinking about About To Start, and then role-play that out. But I'm willing to do it however you want...

Re: OOC Thread

1. Argh, how to explain it? :) There no 'ee'. It's just 'e', like in 'end'. Just like in some German female names: Beate, Elfriede etc.

2. I'd go with "about to start". The way I see, she's still a member, but not necessarily happy. Heck, we might go on with her still being a member for a while - it has some RP potential...

So it's either "Nay-deh", or else 1 syllable, "Nay(deh)" with a tiny little deh at the end. I guess.

Does it rhyme with... "Made" (if we stick a little extra breath on the end)?

Okay, I'm gonna start like that...

EXCEPT i have a kidneystone right now and I shouldn't really even be sitting in this chair for long... I hope it'll leave my body soon, believe me...

...Any other details we can deal with first...?


EDIT: Also-- Any details on how you want this goddess-- whom I have named Alara-- to work or not work? Or are we leaving the rest of that up to me...?

Heh, no, not really. :) It's really "Nay-deh", with a loud "eh". Like in German command "Haende hoch" etc.

Uh. Kidneystone sounds awful. I hope you it passes...

Anyway, as for other details: I'd prefer the goddess' influence (if you choose to use) to manifest in somewhat subtle ways. No celestial beings bursting forth through dimensional gates to enforce the goddess' will etc. Other than that, I'll leave these things up to you...

As for other things - I can't think of anything else to sort out, actually? I'm ready to begin...

Yeah, stone is still around, but it's in a place RIGHT NOW at least where it's allowing other systems to function somewhat normally. So I'm gonna try this...

I can go almost 2 days with no real trouble or pain, but then have a flare up of varying difficulty for hours... So, comes and goes...

If you have money or great insurance or you're desperate (or any combination), they can blast the stone with a sonic pulverizer that doesn't hurt your soft tissue but breaks up the stone.

If you're poor with bad insurance and not desperate (especially if you've played this game before, every few years), you drink lots of water and hope it passes soon.

It wasn't for you... it was for the guy to try to dodge.

I'll roll stuff for NPCs sometimes when I'm trying to decide on a particular direction... And that 12 was so impressive I posted it (in the name of transparency)
