[OOC] Ethend Game: The Hunt for Cantus [Recruiting]

[Ferrix]

Sorry, I've had horrible connection to the site all week and it shows in my lack of posting.

 

[Bront]

The site's been acting up for part of the week, so that's not a suprise.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Is this still Recruiting or is that an old thread title? I still have a bit of reading to do (9pages or so) but I'd love to be in. If not, then kudos on the setting, Ferrix!

 

[Ferrix]

It would be a pleasure to have you, I've been a bit inactive in this game this week since it's been hard for me to connect to the site, but hopefully it'll roll on well enough.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Very sweet. Is there a rogues Gallery? I'd like to start figuring something out tonight.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. And also, you have 8, would I be an alternate?

I assume you're using the Ninja from Complete Adventurer? Something sparked in my head about one of the ninjas you briefly mentioned whose school is "free of clan affiliation who fight for money or even justice". Would that be a strictly human class?

Yes, most of the oriental flavored classes are strictly human as the land of Zodoku sees little outsiders. You're also going to have to explain how you to the entire opposite side of the continent.

How is the Mythar's sea power? If they began expanding into the Sea of Seven Spices, then it would seem only natural to have skirmishes at least with the Zoduka. A proper response would be for the clan leaders to mobilize their ninja, send them to the heart of the problem and see what could be done about "discouraging" the Mythar from moving too quickly in that area. If there's any one thing true about feudal Oriental cultures, it's that they believed themselves the ultimate power and capable of taking on anything.

 

[Ferrix]

The Zoduka Empire pays a great deal of money to the Mythar to keep them out of their region, and thus wouldn't likely try to counteract all that tithing by attacking Mythar. Although the Mythar do not really bother with that side of the world at the moment, they are more caught up in the Western nations and trying to consolidate their power there.

How about a clan's villiage destroyed by imperial forces for speaking outa gainst the Empire/Mythar. Last surviver of the Ninja school the villiage supports is cast out (or leaves) with a serious grudge against the Empire and the Mythar respectivley? If I can't make this concept work, I'll scrap it and scoop something else out of the swirling maelstrom of my brain.

Edit: Brainstorm. It seems that the Zodaku are deep into spirit magic. How would it seems if a meditatiing Ninja were given a vision of the Mythar? Especially if that vision (true or not) were of a Mythar betrayal. He'd take it seriously I assume, and after expressing concerns to the Elders at the school, either be told to seek out the truth or be kicked out immediatly from fear of reprisal or Anti-Mythar sentiment.

Edit the second: Brainstorm Mk. II. His Grandfather and several other Ninja were hired by the Agorian Army, perhaps as a strike force to get behind the enemy lines and take out the tribal chiefs and cause trouble, after the Mythar incursion and his grandfather's death it became a blood feud. When he reached appropriate training and age his father left to fight the Mythar and never returned. Now (I haven't figured out a name yet) faollows his father's footsteps.
