Fullmetal Alchemist - Lure of the Flames (Recruiting)

[Nali]

Yikes. Okay, so I had a little bit of a connection problem once I got here. Turns out that only my fiance's computer could properly connect.

Good news is, I've got it mostly working, bad news is, I likely wont have time to write up the opening post until Sunday. Thus, game starts sunday.

Jkason - Again, opps! I hadn't meant to ignore you in that previous set. Your character is fine and I'll be happy to have him play. I'm just dull witted sometimes. =)

BB - Looks fine =)

now the fluff behind joshua here is just that he is a alchemist that specializes in swordsmanship. his sword has alchemic circles engraved in it to perform certain actions like extend or just be a channel for alchemy (stab in a wall and extend wall,etc) and the fluff for the AOE attack is just supposed to be a run-by attack type deal (for good example watch king bradley walk through the briggs soldiers before killing the tank) so its limited to me having to use the run-by attack feat with it and its supposed to be short range (not sure if i translated that well plz let me know if i did the points wrong).

 

[Shayuri]

Rurik, remember the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Your sword can be reshaped through alchemy, but it can't gain mass from it unless you have a source to work from. If it extends in length, it has to be reduced in other dimensions...I'm sure you can still make it work though. Just sort of kicking in a bit of setting flavor.

Here's my semifinal build (pending approval).

[sblock=Background]As a very recent recruit during the dark times that marked the ending of Fuhrer Bradley's regime, Gail is a valuable commodity in the new Amestrian military. Old enough to have some experience, but young enough to be free of the corruption that had crept into the military's career soldiers and commanders. Smart, coordinated, and with a natural gift for alchemy, she passed her State Alchemist exam just in time for a plum assignment.

In the interests of preparing for the cultural impact of free trade with Xing, and as a gesture of peace and goodwill, the new Fuhrer Mustang negotiated a limited 'exchange' program where a few Amestrian alchemists would go to Xing to both teach and learn, and a few Xinguese specialists in Alkehestry would come to Central to do the same. The program went well, and yielded at least one unexpected benefit.

Gail has returned just in time for her knowledge of Xing and the desert, which she's crossed twice now, to aid the investigation of the mysterious problems along the Xing trade route. So poor Gail was sent out again no sooner than she'd set foot on the cobbled streets of Central to report.[/sblock]

 

[Jemal]

heading to work now, but did you see any problems with my character Nali?

And Shayuri - Maybe its a very heavy sword with a big, thick handle?

 

[Shayuri]

Jemal, very possible, yep. I wasn't criticizing his idea as much as bringing up something he should keep in mind when designing the flavor of it, to keep it in line with the setting's conventions.

Big thick, heavy sword that can reshape itself into a long skinny sword is very doable. I could even see stuff like plunging the sword's point into the ground and using the circle to cause the ground to reshape into long pointy spikes. He could be called 'The Impaling Alchemist' or something.

 

[Nali]

Alright, just a heads up for folks who are sure are getting impatient. Enworld wasn't connecting at all last night, so I held off until today to work up my post, its currently in production and should go up some time this evening. =)

Its up!

 

[Jemal]

allright!
Are you posting a character thread in the rogue's gallery?

 

[Nali]

You know, that is a very good idea. =.=;

I'll post one up before bed this evening. Also, as a heads up, your character is fine, realized at work that I hadn't commented on that. >.>

 

[Nali]

Appologies to everyone who may or may not be waiting impatiently. My internet here is not as stable as I'd like... It keeps crashing, and I'm having the sort of luck that when it is up, Enworld is down.

Regardless, it looks stable, so I'll be doing an update tonight, yay.
