| Ryu_01 Quote | Reply | | Neko posted on: 6/17/2003 4:12:21 PM Neko, Male Neko-hanyou, level 1, Fighter. Size: Medium HD: 10d hp: 15 Init: Spd: 40ft AL: CG Attrib: STR 17(+3) DEX 16(+3) CON 15(+2) INT 15(+2) WIS 17(+3) CHA 15(+2) AC: 18 Base Attack: melee +4, ranged +4 Weapons: Katana(1d10) Kusari-Gama(1d6) SA: Normal Vision, +4 on Spot and Listen Checks SQ: none Save: Fort +4 Refl +3 Will +3 Skills: Climb (STR +4) Handle animal (CHA +4) Jump (STR +4) Ride (DEX +4) Swim (STR +4) Feats: Combat Reflexes, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Katana), Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Kusari-Gama), Toughness Equipment: Katana, Kusari-Gama, Samurai Armor, Backpack, Caltrops (X15), Grappling Hook, Iron Rations, Silk Rope (50ft.), Bedroll, Tent, Climber's kit, Boots, Leather Leggings. XP: 0 Description: Appearance: Blue hair that is in no paticular style except for the three foot long two inch thick braid but other than that his hair mostly in many different directions due to the fact that he likes to have his bedhead, Clear Green cat eyes, about 4 feet tall, 125 lbs., also has cat ears and claws with two small fangs that peek just out of his mouth. Wears Samurai armour given to him by his father, also carries a Katana given to him also by his mother. Finally he wears a simple pendent with the kanji for Nekoyokai (Cat demon) on it. He mostly keeps it hidden under his armour. Personality: Though most demons and half-demons are known for their foul behaviors Neko adopted the personallities of both his cat-demon father and human mother and as such has a kind, loving, and compasionate attitude toward all life unless that life decides to sour his oppinion of it. He is willing to give anyone a chance. Though his Alignment is Chaotic Good he will follow laws that he has no reason to ignore which is why he is generally accepted by authority figures, at least the good ones anyway. This has earned him a reputation of having a strange mix of Lawful Good and Chaotic Good alignments. He also hates more than anything to have to kill someone. Extras: In addition to his cat-like features, he also has a human form which looks like his normal demon form except his eyes become a clear blue instead of green and his hair becomes green in color, this happens once a month on the night of the new moon. His ears, fangs, and claws are replaced with their respective human equivilants. He also likes to spend his time at home with his mother and father when he is not out adventuring in the world because many demons would not accept a mere pup as he would be considered to be out all alone in the world and because he has not found the one person in the world that he would have as his life-mate. He also speaks the language of demons in addition to common. Past: His mother was once a master samurai in the service of a shogun lord until she was betrayed by the people she thought that she could trust which is inadvertently how she med Shin, a wandering Nekoyoukai (Cat demon), and together they fought off her betrayers. After that moment Shin swore an oath on his honor as a demon, and that is a very high honor, to stay with her and protect her from any who would seek to do her harm. Within a year they became life-mates, which as he explained to her is even more meaningful than a husband and wife. When they were mated Mariko, Neko's mother, was bonded to Shin's life force increasing her life span to match his. Six months after Shin and Mariko's mating, Neko was born. Ever since Neko could walk he has trained with both of his parents as a swordsman. Though he is extremely young for a demon the traits he gets from his mother alllow him to be as mature as a normal human would be at that age. During his first adventure outside of his hometown he was wandering through the lands and heard of a wanted man who was terrorizing young women with his Kusari-Gama, a sickle-like weapon on a ten-foot chain with a five-pound weight on the other end for hitting things, so Neko decided that it would a good chance to make a name for himself in the world. The battle between them when they finally met face to face was on the night of a new moon which meant that Neko would be at his weakest in terms of strength, but he pressed on nonetheless. The resulting battle lasted until morning with neither combatant being in a winning or losing position but when the sun rose Neko started to transform back into his demon form. This startled his opponent long enough for Neko to capture him in his own Kusari-Gama. This is how he came into posession of the Kusari-Gama he now carries with him everywhere. |

replied on: 6/17/2003 11:28:11 PM "Tainted." Obviously you're using D&D 3E rules, so you "should" know what having Shadowland Taint is... unless you ignore the rules and use your own, which is not a problem. Quite simply, it means "slightly evil." |

replied on: 6/18/2003 2:44:49 PM Oh, I understand. No, Neko is not evil in any way. I don't know all of the rules of all the D&D rules, I just try to go by the ones I do know. But also one thing I've seen in a lot of people is that they can't quite recognize the subtle differences between devils and demons. Many believe them to be exactly the same. I believe that demons are really just beasts that have been mutated by magical means and are given intelligence and as such have the potential to be good or evil whereas devils are inherently evil. Also beasts that have been magically mutated will reproduce and the product of such reproduction will be at least part demon as well depending on the other parent. Neko is a character that will always be a good person in whatever he does, as he follows his conscience and not just the law of the land because no matter what he will just do as he pleases. |

replied on: 6/18/2003 3:49:23 PM I understand the difference completely. I am writing my own book on the subject actually, which will be released hopefully next year. I know many rules. Sounds like an interesting character, and I like the samurai like feel. Rare to see a nice "oriental" character. |

replied on: 6/19/2003 1:36:51 AM This has NOTHING to do with your character. Welcome to online posting. Your threads will get hijacked and taken to whatever topic is wanted, needed, or completely unrelated. We know the character is original, and that has nothing to do with the way the thread went, nor does anything else that is posted. Read some of the others, and you'll see how it works. No one controls the method of communication, or the direction the topics will go... you can try by posting your ideas, your opinions, and by starting threads, but you have to expect people to just ramble; that is what they do. However, if you want the logical progression, it goes like this: 1) You post your character. The character resembles various real world oriental cultural beliefs and characteristics. It is obviously based on samurai. 2) I comment on the fact the character is oriental in nature and how rarely I see an interesting one. 3) Maly mentions other oriental "characters" he likes, and might be interesting models to base a roleplaying character on. At this point, there is a relational tangent, as the topic has now been shifted to character concept, and the real world, and not "dedicated" to you. 4) I mention some other alternatives which would make some peculiar villains, which are also oriental in design and concept. 5) You ask what this has to do with anything. 6) I explain it. Simple? While there is no "direct" relationship to your chartacter, there IS a definite relationship: we are now discussing how oriental characters, in general, are rarely seen, and they can be very effectively based on the real world, even if yours isn't. That little fact is completely irrelevant, and does not make you any better because of it. Have you ever noticed how a real conversation goes? They rarely, if ever, follow one straight topic until conclusion. There are typically tangents, and correlational discussion, all to solidify the main point. Topics bounce back and forth until no one has anything else to say about it, either because they're sick of it, or they're bored, or they simply cannot make their point in an effective manner. If you want to continue posting, you have to learn that your threads are going to go everywhere. You don't control them. That is what a moderator is for.

replied on: 6/19/2003 8:18:58 AM That's only the logical progression as seen by Lobian, though. If you want, I can post my views on the subject in this thread as well. Or would that be toomuch variation from your original post for your tastes?

replied on: 6/19/2003 2:10:35 PM If the character gets approved. You can also roleplay in the free-form forums, and when games start. One question, why do you double post? Is it because the board is slow? I hate that myself. Slowness. |
