Hi Farsareck, welcome to Planeshift :D

How to hang out? Well, it\'s up to you really, be yourself and join the discussions or assume the role of the character you intend to use in the Planeshift world - different people have different preferences.

What is Magi-Nation???

here\'s an url if you want to check it out:

magi-nation.com/dual



there ya go....as to the character....how you create one?

Post by: Kada-El on March 12, 2002, 10:03:37 pm
There is no character generation yet, as there is no game yet ;) At the moment if you wanted to create yourself a character for Planeshift I suppose you need to read through the settings and race information on the main page (http://www.planeshift.it/main_01.html), select a race, inject a personality and just role-play here as that character.

Just have a look around the boards for examples of what others have done - Kendaro and Zaylik are good examples of people who choose to play their characters well in this forum.

hi farsareck! here\'s a good tip on how to hang out and be liked....dont act like me  :D  8)  8o

Post by: Kada-El on March 12, 2002, 10:12:37 pm
The role-play board generally has a variety of rules depending on the thread starter, but I think they\'re pretty flexible.

Just have a look at the RP board to get an idea.



Who said you weren\'t liked Kiern???

Post by: Kendaro on March 12, 2002, 10:20:39 pm
this is pretty much a free realm of RP.. no real set of rules to abide by in the creation of your character.  all i couold suggest is reading the history, government, and then the races. from that then you could find what race would suit you best then based on your translation of the races or history, build your character.

Also if there are any questions on anything that is publicly written, IE anything on the settings page, feel free to ask me. i will be glad to answer any questions or possibly stear you in the right direction to what the settings are saying.

lol...........

hey could you guys take a look at this character and tell me what ya think?


Here he is:

Dang. It wont load........oh well. I\'ll post him tommarrow i guess, but here is the general idea.

Enkidukai and Klyros halfbreed.

Ne one else do that before?
Title:
Post by: kyalin on March 13, 2002, 11:07:15 pm
Thats actually a pretty good idea. I havent heard anyone talking bout having a half breed yet.

no one has done it cause it doesnt exist.. the only half breads in this game are the Ynnwn who are half Diaboli and elf.

well it does now.

Post by: Kendrick on March 14, 2002, 07:13:09 pm
Enkidukai and Klyros can\'t mate!

ones a cat, the others a fish like creature! Their reproductive organs won\'t allow it!

A cats uhh...

How can I explain this... uhh

A cats err... fluid can not react with the fish\'s egg. There for reproduction is out the window as it should be.

heh, you must be pretty sucure to say \"My Moms a Cat, and My dads a Fish, and i\'m the mut!\"

*Shivers*

and lets say that when humans and elfs mate, the humans Charactists are dominant.

so
Human+Elf=human
Kran Reproduce Asexually i think
Diabloi+Elf= Mixed (niether races characteristics are dominant)
Dwarfs i doubt will mate outside their race
same with Enkidukia and Krylos

Something to the sound of that...

Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on March 14, 2002, 08:36:12 pm
why are the human characteristics dominant. I was tought sh*t about chromosoms and all of that other madness. and there are dominat and regressive ones. so U let\'s say a is a human characteristic and b is an elvish characteristic.

bb=elvish
Bb=elvish
aa=human
Aa=human
Ab=human
Ba=elvish
and on and on like this.  

got it??
no doesn\'t matter. I t\'s useless anyway cause they won\'t program DNA. or at least I think??  :P

ps. kendrick ur sig tumbled over might wanna straighten it up. I hope U will cause my neck hurts.
Title:
Post by: Kendrick on March 15, 2002, 01:37:50 am
Humans are larger? I don\'t know, I\'m not an expert on this thing, but programing a mix for every race, creating skins, names history and models would take a long time


Theres a term I use some of the time it\'s called KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Having one race\'s features dominate over the others is simple, easy to learn, and easy to explain

BTW, A *normal* sig isn\'t very tall, I turned him on his side because he is too tall, I could have shrunk him, but he would lose too much detail

Post by: Dumb Woob on March 15, 2002, 04:18:00 am
thats a nice crotch bulge there too  ;)
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on March 15, 2002, 09:38:29 am
my sig is very tall. and sorry my english isn\'t very good
but what\'s a crotch bulch.

and I don\'t think halfbreeds except for ynnwn are possible in the game.
1.)characters aren\'t born right?
2.)I don\'t think sex will be in the game.
3.)crossbreeding is just too hard too program.
4.)if U combine the first letters U get cici

yes indeed it is quit tall.... annoyingly so. there is no reason a sig should be that large. sigs are ment to be banner size. it is a shame that your sig is 4 times as big as any of your posts. that is a huge waist of space and sucks up a lot of rescources. it amazes me that no mod has asked you to resize it.

here is a quick little info on Far.


Mom: Klyros
Dad: Enkidukai

Desc. :    
General idea of Klyros, but has cat ears. Green fur with black stripes, and has a tail.

Weapon:
1) Double bladed long staff.      For u wheel of time fans. think Mat\'s weapon but with a reversed blade on the other end as well.

2) Martial Arts

Abilities:
Fly for one minute. Breathe underwater, but slowed down by fur. Nightvision.  Quick.....really quick.


there ya\'s go.
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on March 15, 2002, 09:42:52 pm
THAT\'s not fair!!! U combined all good characteristics.
can we do that??
if so I am gonna be strong as a kran quick as an enkidukai(and good in martail arts) can fly like klyros and breathe underwater. do magic like a lemur. and as smart too. and no disadvantages!!! like fragile body structure of a klyros dumbness of an enkidukai and slowness of a kran!!! or weak as a lemur!!
Title:
Post by: kyalin on March 15, 2002, 10:05:25 pm
Dream on you 2.  Ninkwi I dont think you can do that. far didnt go overboard, he just said hes a half breed.  Ninkwi how do u plan to have 6 parents in different races? I dont think that would work. I wont go into details.
Title:
Post by: Kendaro on March 15, 2002, 10:58:47 pm
Far:

there is one simple tyhing you are missing in this... that type of creature does not and will not exist. this isnt a roleplay board where you just build up what ever you want to be. this is a board used for the development of a MMORPG. the only race you will be able to play is one that is listed in the settings page. also the stats are in stone, you cant make up your own characteristics and your own stats.  

its all good and well that you have imagined such an interesting character but that just will not be in game. you might want to rethink your character or you will just be dissapointed when the game is playable.
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on March 16, 2002, 10:09:34 am
what not possible!!!!

grzmlrml stupid game!!


no JOKE!! just kiddin.

and kyalin that is possible!!!! havin six parents theoreticly speaking. cause U assuming the animals all have the same ammount of chromosoms cause U just divide all chromosoms of each creature trough the ammount of creatures and trows them togeter in one ovum. that sheep dolly (U know the cloned one) has 3 parents and they are all female!!!! soon we don\'t need men anymore cause 2 (or 3) women can get children!!!

scary idea  don\'t U think

Post by: farsareck on March 20, 2002, 06:42:55 pm
oh...well........i guess he\'s just an average Klyros now then..................... :D

Humans are smarter, faster, stronger, and tougher than elves.  Because we ROCK~!!!!   Little pansy elves...
You know, I\'ve never liked elves; they are so full of themselves.  Uppity snobby bastards - who do they think they are, coming to our city? Huh?  I say chuck em all down one of those bottomless pits, for whatever lives down there.

Krovak the Necromancer says ~  Wood Elf tastes good!  Its open season!


Hehe, j/k   No really, NOOOOO, Don\'t shoot me Kada!  Ack!

Post by: Kada-El on March 27, 2002, 12:02:03 pm
(http://members.aol.com/funonangelswings/stupid.gif) ;) Probably not the best idea to engrage a whole race of people, especially a race that seems to be very prevalent around here at the moment.

Pansy! Snobby Bastards! RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!! (http://members.aol.com/funonangelswings/angry.gif)

Well, I\'m glad I didn\'t enrage them!  HA!  See?!  The elves fall back to death threats when they can\'t have their way!  I have an evil master plan!








Have some more donuts, you greedy elf!

Far: Welcome, If you ever want me to do anything on the General Discussion or RP Forum just PM me! :D

Oh and if you wondered Kendaro is the Settings Team [WTB] leader, so thats why he has authority in telling you these things ;). Though I\'d love Half Breeds in the game.

Kendaro: Why not? this game is UNDER DEVELOPMENT! :P How about a stat limit and being able to mix characteristics?
