New Story

hyaline · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2004, 05:02 PM

Hi, I'm starting up a new adventure story, would anyone be willing to join with me? I'm hopeing to get the actual story up and running within a week or two.

As for characters anything can work but nothing too powerful. Just to give you an idea my character will be a shapeshifter; I haven't decided as of yet what animal he will become but I'm sure I'll work that out.

later, Hyaline.

Does this mean I finally get to send my devoted werebear followers to do my bidding??? I may or may not join, depending on how pressed for time I am. I've got a couple tests next week, and loads of tests the week after, which means I'm gonna get a fair amount of homework, but I'll try to join, if I can.

Maybe you should join up in the 'rp' thread. There are already a few stories going on, or will be started soon, and most possible writers are already participating in those stories. The 'rp' story seems to start soon, so you could still join up, if you like.

I'll join, as the Commander Stanislav on the rp story, since it doesn't seem to be moving much, for now.

Well, I've posted my character profile in the character sheets tread. Its a bit different than the charcters in the other board stories but I think I did a good job.

To intice you into reading it my character is a tiefling, but perhaps you might not care.

Anyway, what do you think of the profile?

It's pretty good, all you need now is a name for him, and you're done. I'll see if I can post a character this weekend.

Well, it would be great to have you.

Hopefully you can get your character profile in soon but there is not rush.

I've started the story in the thread -New Story: The Adventure Begins- , if anyone would like to post next, go right ahead.

Can I make a character who is a half-lion, which is like a Werewolf/wolfwere type, except Lions are infinitely better than wolves, and I'll be more of a mutant or hybrid, rather than a lycanthrope. Actually, I'll be a half-liger for 3x to 4x the size difference.

A little on Liger, in case you might need some insight, is that they're hybrid cats, a cross between a Lion and a Tigress, and they tend toward giantism. They are, on average, twice the size of a Siberian Tiger, which is otherwise the world's largest cat. The liger is about 12 feet long on average, with a maximum around 14-15 feet, and weight about 800-1200 lbs, with records of 1500 lb Ligers, and an ideal maximum, thus far, of about 2000 lbs (The largest Sib Tiger was 1025 lbs, which is big enough to pummel a Polar bear into submission)

Lions, themselves are pretty well known, but people severely underestimate their abilities. For instance, Lions can climb trees. This may be safe to assume seeing as how they're strong and agile, but people have been known to climb trees in order to escape Lions. They are not the Jaguar or the Leopard (The BEST climbers), but they are excellent climbers. They are also excellent swimmers, though they hate the water (My reasoning is that they're similar enough to Tigers and Jaguars, who DO love the water, to have the same potential.) Another thing is that in some parts of Africa, Lions kill elephants on a regular basis. That's live, bull elephants. They take them down in groups, but still, no other animal can boast that except the Tiger, and, of course, other elephants. Lions also feed on Rhinoceros, Giraffe, Hippopotamus, Buffalo, Zebra, and Gazelle, to name a few of their feats.

The Tiger is also pretty well-known. Some things that are common misconceptions are that they don't like the water, because cats generally don't. In reality, they love the water, and swim well. They have been known to go into the crocodile's turf to EAT said crocodile. Among the Tiger's great feats are the consumption of baby elephant, adulat and baby Rhinoceros, Crocodiles, gaur (Ox), Black Bears, Brown Bears, and pretty much all other animals that he happens upon. Unlike the Lion, the Tiger does not make a habit out of eating adult elephants, though it has happened many times before. Elephants do, however, fear the Tiger, and often run away when near one. There has also been a record of a duel (one-on-one fight. I doubt they were fighting over a lady! :P) between a Tiger and an adult elephant. After several hours, the Elephant had sustained so much damage, it fell and died.

This is why I want my character to have the blood of the most powerful animals on the planet.

Here are some photos. Sorry for the long-winded documentary.

So, ehat say you. May I be a half-Liger? I'd be insanely beig and strong, but I will not disrupt the balance of the story.

why don't you just be a true were-liger, like my character? That way, you're character is still human, and you'll be able to transform into a liger whenever you want.

The D&D WereTiger is severely underpowered. In real life, Tigers are physically stronger than bears, while D&D WereTigers are weaker than werebears. Plus, most WereTigers are female (I can be the one male, but still, I'd rather be a Half-Liger!

)

I don't think it would be very practical for you to have a character that would stand a towering 12ft and weight a whooping 2000lb

I futher disagree with your proposed character to be half animal, perhaps your character could be a shapeshifter.

But being a shapeshifter is what people ALWAYS do when they want animal blood in their Veins. My guy is 1200 lbs, not 2000 lbs, and 12 Feet tall is actually not nearly as much as you would think. most ceilings would accomodate me. Anyway, I REALLY want to be this character, and I will not yield my dimensions (unless absolutely necessary)

Golden Lion 86 · #15 (**permalink**) 12-09-2004, 02:17 PM

Actually, forget everything I said. being a shapeshifter isactually pretty cool. I'll be a were-Liger. I already have a part thought up, and with the DM's and Werebeargoddess's permission, I would like to write the next part. If not, that's ok. I'll do the part after the next.

I will update my Character Sheet.
