I am finally getting this RPG going. But first I need some people to join and create their characters. I ask that you create an original character that is not from the Rurouni Kenshin series, seeing as this rpg takes place before the series. I need a brief description of how they look, background, blade of choice, fighting style(eg. Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu), special abilities, etc. Furthermore, I will need a list of techniques from you and a description of them. Along with these techniques include whether they have : low, medium, or high damage. an example Ryuu Tsui Sen The user jumps high above the target, then smashes down on them with their sword, and all the weight from the fall. damage: medium Each technique takes a toll, as it does in RK. This RPG will have the stamina statistic. So a technique of small damage takes away 1 point of stamina. A technique of medium damage takes away 2 points of stamina. And a technique of high damage takes away 3 points of stamina. In the first battle everyone will have a stamina of 15 points. Although, your stamina will increase every battle that you have, depending on who you fight... If your character runs out of stamina, they faint and can't continue helping in the fight.

Sounds cool. I'm in. The name's Ryuusei Yagyu, called Ryu for short. He's a vagabond rogue who used to be a member of the Yagyu clan, but was banished from their ranks for opposing his elders. Ryuusei is tall, lean and muscular, and has short black hair. Typically, Ryuusei wears an entirely black outfit, covering his entire body except his head, with gloves and boots to match. He wears an eye patch over his left eye, which was gouged out in an attempt to fight off some assassins sent to kill a former employer of his. Ryuusei avoids talking about his past as much as possible, as he has probably committed some great dishonour as a result of his banishment. He has lived for some time as roaming thug-for-hire and petty thief, living on the streets struggling to make ends meet. He hopes to someday rejoin the Yagyu clan, and is glad he isn't a samurai so he doesn't have to kill himself as atonement . He is proficient in the use of various swords, but has abandoned them since his falling out with the Yagyu clan. He now favours the use of the tanto (dagger), or the use of his fists. Having no true fighting style, Ryuusei fights based on whatever situation he finds himself in. SPECIAL TECHNIQUES Kissaki Bakusin The user rushes at his target full-speed, and stabs them repeatedly in the chest with the tanto. damage: high[/b[ Nikoyaka Genkotsu The user springs off a nearby object (wall, tree, etc.) toward the enemy's head, using his fist to hit with the speed of the jump. damage: medium Gyakufunsha A reverse thrust with the tanto. Designed to damage an opponent behind the user. damage: low Ha Inazuma A quick series of slashes with the tanto. Designed to inflict a large number of light wounds, more to force an opponent back then to cause injury. damage: low Gyoshin Kagede The user must drop from above his target in order to use this attack. On the way down, the user makes a quick but accurate slice in the target's neck. Designed to eliminate the opponent as quickly as possible. damage: high ------------------ KICKSTART MY HEART!
im going to join just thinking who im going to be and the moves hes going to have give me a couple of days ------------------ IwAnBo the grinning idiot!
Take as long as you want... I'm having trouble typing right now anyways. I kind of ruined my extensor digiti minimi in my hand (the tendon that moves your pinky) from using the computer too much.
I just noticed that I forgot to include Ryuusei's special abilities. Here it goes ... Ryuusei Yagyu's most prominent trait is his dexterity. He's fast, agile, and flexible. He is also an expert climber, and can sneak up behind even the most alert of opponents when he needs to. However, he isn't the strongest of fighters, and therefore cannot easily use large weapons, even though he has been trained to use some of them proficiently. That is all. ------------------ KICKSTART MY HEART!
ummm whick one of ya has the japenese dictionary thing online need it to make my guy ------------------ IwAnBo the grinning idiot!
A dictionary that I recommend using is at http://www.linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/dict . GentatsuNoZanshi sent me this one a while back. Edit: It takes a while to translate English to Japanese with this, so be patient. [This message has been edited by That guy! (edited 11-15-2001).]
It's pretty quick in my experience, unless you tell it to give you the Kanji letters for each word when you find about a hundred words. Just be patient. Patience is a virtue, you know. ------------------ KICKSTART MY HEART!
*sigh* I put this one up a while back when the forum just started but it never started. I was looking through my stuff and I found the adventure outline too Just to tell you all though, this RPG will be a bit more difficult to play and will have a different style. For one thing, I'll be the Game Master and guide you through the adventure. And there will be a round system in it too where I post and then the players can post one post that round, until I post again to lead you. This way everyone can keep up with what is going on in the game ^_^x
Okay, count me back in, as I've detailed my fighting style way back when... Uhh, give me a week, and I should probably find it again. Heh.

Can I be a time travelling robot? No, seriously, would the game be friendly to those who have only seen the first two eps of the 1st ova and all the second ova, and a few scattered eps of the series? I have the general idea of the show, and historical references up the wazoo.
