Also, should we develop the magic system, or just have it be fairly simple (Pehaps the four elements and some sort of healing, Arcane stuff and necromancy/dark arts)


Of course, to both of those. We'll need those races. *adds to previous list*

As for magic, I felt we'd keep it rather simple. The thought has just occured to me to restrict characters from the Medieval Fantasy district (which we should name) to have access to magic, or the widest range of magics (the 1920s section... might have 'voodoo' magic, or magic like voodoo, and the victorian could have enchantment in the steampunk community). What do ya'll think?

Customization of established races sounds better IMO. Do you mean slight variations on one race (ex: different colors, reduced sense of smell, increased vision, etc), or different races based on one (ex: different types of elves)?


Slight variations in one race, from colors, senses, to physical attributes such as the senses, and appendages.

So like Drow and High elves?

Perhaps Every culture could have access to the bending of the four elements (as such is likely very noncomplex magic). Fantasy could have access to more powerful and a wider range of magic (Invocation, Enchantment and such), the 1920's could have darker and more subtle magic (As you said, Voodoo or dark pacts of some kind). The Steampunk could have technomagic. And the Modern people could be the most magic stagnant, as technology got more complex magic got less so.

*shakes head lightly* Nah, more like players can choose skin tones, how their ears look (does the Naga have elf ears, or human ears?), and weither their dark skinned elf has low light vision.

That sounds right. We should describe what kind of magic is native to each district... which is something we've just done. Though I can't help but remember that show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch; which has me thinking that some minor community might still have magics in the modern district.... perhaps someone whose wife came from the Fantasy District, and immigrated though the proper channels into the Modern District, adopting the life style, but not quite getting use to all the appliances, and thus being far more comfortable using her native magics for house hold chores. Eventually deciding that due to how the neighbors, among other concerns, to keep her magic to her self, and bestow knowledge of it to her children as a way to keep a little bit of her heritage alive in the next generation.

Still, it'd be uncommon so let's focus on what is common;

  • Modern - Basic elements, yet stagnant, no formal education in magical arts; and most modern amenities make every day use of magic pointless.
  • 1920s - Dark and Subtile, inspired by Voodoo, and dark pacts. Taking on a eerie sinister feel.
  • Victorian - Enchantment meets technology, allowing for arcane batteries which come in handy with smaller devices like artificial limbs.
  • Mid-Fan - Widest range of magics.

Seems good. Perhasp the Fantasy culture could also have Alchemy...
The Victorians could also have some golem related magic.

Hmmm . . . Definitely going for victorian. Is there a condensed race list?
I love the idea of golem related magic. It would fit very well if we looked into the industrial revolution. . . Basically I'm saying steampunk :P

Also, it's occured to me that due to the loose nature involving race we don't have to list them... we can but, we'd have to come up with attribute lists. Actually that sounds orderly.

Players would choose a race, and then customize from their (How human is your hound*'s face, does it have a nose, or muzzle? Can your vampire survive in daylight, if so do certain conditions have to be met, like feeding the night before?). We could do this with questions, or simply request that our players devolgue such to us. Appearance, Attributes... then again someone might not consider how strong their Naga is, and thus forget to list constriction as an ability.

Let's make a list of attributes players to choose from.

Here is a list of what we are currently considering;
  • Dragon* (anthromorphic dragon race)
  • Elf
  • Gnome
  • Hafling
  • Hound (canine anthro)
  • Human
  • Leonin
  • Naga
  • Vampires

We've decide to expand the list as need be.

Why not robots? For steampunk use only, unless they migrate.
Elementals for medieval times, and they have high ranked, single-type magical abilities.
Assuming Hounds are close enough to werewolves, but still throwing that out.
How about something like Cortana: a digital being with a physical manifestation? Could just be digital versions of other races, though. And obviously only for the (P)MT district.

Cool, just been writing a steampunk novel, so everythings kinda steampunk to me right now.

As for that race list, looks good. Personally I'm not really sure what I might choose yet, but I'll let you know if I think of anything. Is there to be a planned storyline?

At the moment it's very free form, with story coming from the interaction of our characters. A situation was suggested by Charmera, and we built upon it. Main focus is on our characters interaction in the Nexus (the mall like food court, and entertainment area at the center of the city which also functions as the center of the municipal government which is housed in the upper levels), and with those characters inside their own district. It's assumed that some central conflict will emerge though these interactions.

Charmera wrote:Sounds good. Perhaps each race could have special attributes, and attributes cost creation points of which the characters have a pool.

Sounds perfect. I'll start, and you (and others) can start as well, in generating attributes. I'll start with a tricky race... Humans. I should be able to come up with something. After we have some attributes we can discuss what the CP max shall be.

I'd like a 2nd opinion on the Elementals, metalmen, and holograms. Charm, Pinkie, what do ya'll think?

As for that race list, looks good. Personally I'm not really sure what I might choose yet, but I'll let you know if I think of anything. Is there to be a planned storyline?

At the moment it's very free form, with story coming from the interaction of our characters. A situation was suggested by Charmera, and we built upon it. Main focus is on our characters interaction in the Nexus (the mall like food court, and entertainment area at the center of the city which also functions as the center of the municipal government which is housed in the upper levels), and with those characters inside their own district. It's assumed that some central conflict will emerge though these interactions.

Sounds perfect. I'll start, and you (and others) can start as well, in generating attributes. I'll start with a tricky race... Humans. I should be able to come up with something. After we have some attributes we can discuss what the CP max shall be.

Elementals for medieval times, and they have high ranked, single-type magical abilities.
Assuming Hounds are close enough to werewolves, but still throwing that out.
How about something like Cortana: a digital being with a physical manifestation? Could just be digital versions of other races, though. And obviously only for the (P)MT district.


I'd like a 2nd opinion on the Elementals, metalmen, and holograms. Charm, Pinkie, what do ya'll think?

I'm not too sure about the hologram, but elemental and robots sound interesting. I always like playing androids.

Well . . . The way I see it, a digital creation has to have hardware for its software, so they'd have a core, a small orb or a cube or something that's their brain. Their physical interaction is a little bit limited due to their form being a form of hard light. I'm also thinking they'd be able to alter their shape within certain limitations, like a program.

I'll need time to consider. Hologram people, and androids would make the (P)MT district kind of retro futuristic... or not. 2000s living, convenience of the 2060s! Elementals... I'd have to understand what kind of elemental (Dryad/Nymph like or raw, and primordial). With steampunk metelmen we'd end up with individuals much like the Tin-Man from wizard of Oz. Which isn't a bad thing.

I wasn't joshing you, I was simply editing the sentence as you had given me an idea of your opinion. I do thank you for expanding upon it though.
