Be ready...a new guild is coming to town
« on: April 07, 2004, 10:37:27 am »
The guild is not ready to be started yet...but heres a taste of what is to come. What is needed right now is someone interested in working with the homepage.
Right now there are only classes but I am working hard on creating a good rank system that will be based on each class. (two characters could never have the same rank). The Red Monk and The Rolling Monkey are both taken...sorry about that. Please let me know what you think about it, and feel free to ask questions.
I would apreciate, if you are interested in joining, that you send me some info about you and why you should get the position.

ASHES
A tribute to Shadowhand

Loved by his friends and feared by his enemies, Errion was always respected. Not only was he one of the best rogues in the land of the azure sun but he had also a great personality, which made him many friends. When he decided to create the secret rogue society of Shadowhand he knew what he was getting into, that it was going to be a hard job keeping the members? identities unrevealed to the public. What he didn?t know by then  was that keeping this secret would cost him a close friend, that in the end proved to be nothing but a pathetic spy.
I remember the day when Shadowmancers true identity was revealed. Errion was crushed, he who was always so merry. I had never seen him so sad before, and we had known eachother for quite some time.
Not only had he been stabbed in the back by a brother but he had also lost the guild that had taken him so much time and effort to build up.

The secrets revealed, the Shadowhand could never again become what it once was. It was nothing but an indistinct dream in the minds of the ex-members, and what good is a dream that could never be fulfilled. The members had all lost their secret identities and could no longer operate as spies. Most of them decided to head towards new destinations, hoping to be able to start a new peaceful lifee, while others decided to remain with their leader that they for so long had followed. But Errion was tired of being the leader. He too, wanted to forget and start a new life somewhere else. So the group that had been together for what had seemed forever, split up and began walking the new paths they had chosen. And it was so that the tale of the Shadowhand ended leaving behind only ashes of a broken dream.

I am Tybalt, one of the few loyal men who followed Errion to the end. As a friend of Errion?s and an  ex-member of the Shadowhand, I swear that the impostor that goes by the name of Davis, will suffer the punishment for his treachery. And know that any person that dares try to stop me on my mission shall suffer as well.


Classes:
The concept of the class system is that every member has his own speciality, that he is the only one to have. The class will be used as the players pseudo in-game and on the forums. Nobodys perfect and neither are these characters so they all have a flaw. To keep each class unique they are supposed to be roleplayed in the greatest extent possible, The Red Monk for example is not allowed to learn many rogue skills because this would make The Black Cat quite worthless. The members depend on eachother and complete eachother. Because only one person can have a certain rank recruiting will be done through competitions.
May the best man win!

The Red Monk: This character focuses on mastering the martial arts. He fights with his fists and feet using gloves and boots as his only weapons. He rarely wear armor as it tend to slow him down. He worships a god which is a part of his energy, called ki. His main stats are will and agility, which makes him very good at swimming and climbing. He is no strong fighter but he knows where to strike. His inner tranquility, can be conpared to no other and makes him resistant to different types of magic and poison. Because of his religion he is not allowed to enter any pleasure house like a tavern or a bar.

The Psy Bolt: This archer is extremely accurate and powerful  when mastering the art of psy-archery. By charching her mind energy into an arrow the archer can provoke great damage to the opponent.
This archer also tends to know how to cast spells but only has the ability to focus on one way of spellcasting. Her main stats are dexterity and will which are both used for the archery skill. The high will also makes the mind archer very resistant to magic and a good groupleader.

The Black Cat: An exceptional rogue that likes to move quickly while hiding in the shadows. Even though he functions perfectly as a scout he also knows how to get the job done by himself. He can, without being noticed, infiltrate enemy buildings to retrieve important documents or items, or even use weapons coated with poison to backstab targets that need to be wiped out. His main stats are dexterity, for good use of light weapons, and agility for climbing walls and infiltrating buildings. His character fault is that he is jinxed which can sometimes make life hard for him and people around him.

The Dark Coat: Of all the dexterious characters, this is the most accurate one when it comes to weapon mastering. He uses mostly throwing weapons that he keeps hidden on the inside of his coat. Because he can pull out anything from a dart to an explosive potion it is impossible for the enemy to prepare for the attack. The Dark Coat is a good alchemist and makes his own deadly potions to throw at this enemies. His main stats are dexterity, for throwing, and endurance, to be able to stay at an appropriate distance from the enemy.

The Rushing Bull: This berserker is the complete opposite of the red monk when it comes to the state of mind. This person loves to run into battles by instinct swinging a weapon over his head while using his speed and strenght to push down enemies. He likes to use crushing or blunting, heavy, weapons like hammers and clubs that he blindly swings towards his enemies. He also tend to wear medium armor so that he can survive the blows that are dealt in close encounters while still being able to move around quickly. His main stats are strenght, for powerful attacks, and endurance, to resist more damage. Being so unfocused all the time makes him less resistant to some magic.  
 
The Rolling Monkey: This character is a type of swashbuckler that is incredibly agile. He jumps, climbs and rolls around in combat like a true pirate fighter. His favorite weapons are the dual swords which he controls like if they were part of his hands. He spins them around changing the grip all the time to confuse the enemy, striking with incredible speed. Because he loves to fight, this pirate mostly deals slashing attacks making sure that he only wounds the enemy. This way he can injure the enemy step by step until it cannot fight any longer so he can finish him off with beauty. His main stats are agility and charisma, which he uses to charm the ladies. The problem is that his flirting tend to provoke some people, especially men.

6 ranks, only 1 person per rank... That\'ll be a small guild.  ?(

It doesn\'t need to be a big guild. It seems the only mission is revenge on Davis (can\'t blame them).

RedMonk what if no pvp exists in CB? And when you\'ve revenged SH what is the next step?

Like they say...its not the quantity, but the quality that counts. Anyway, 6 ranks is what exists now at the creation. Maybe youve noticed there is no real mageclass for example...there are more things to come like maybe The True Magi and The Grey Shark.

The goal is to make the guild evolve and change all the time. Im sure that on the way to killing Davis we will get new goals.
I am the representant and founder of the guild...but Im no leader taking all decisions. When the group is formed we will take our decisions together.

And for that PvP question...Draklar has comfirmed

Glad to know I have your swrod Draklar...maybe Ill hold you on that one

Thanks for replying ;)

Only as a challenge-accept system right? I don\'t think Davis will agree with a fight when faced with 6 angry guildmembers.

Anyway, Redmonk good luck... I hope the guild will evolve into a prosperous one.

I\'ve thought about that...but I will fight Davis alone. And if he doesn\'t accept my challenge then his reputation will be his fall.

Thanx Ionas!

guildwars and duels in CB... that\'s what I heard from Venge. But somewhere else you can read something about free pvp zones for quests and so on... if it\'ll be implemented in CB... I do not know.
