    Howdy

    Welcome! What tabletops are you playing at the moment ?
  2. No, it's the General Discussion. Not Introduction. He picked the right area to post this. I'm actually going clanless. I am not a huge fan of most clans. Doujutsu just aren't my type.
  3. 2012-2013, when you made your first attempts at modding. ?
  4. Cheers! That's... what a template is for ? xD Feel free to your heart's content.
  5. It shall be done at some point. Trust that you'll most likely hear a lot more of my laughter if we go onto Voice Chat more often.
  6. Kunai. Common term used to describe a metal shape formed by placing a finger-sized ring onto a cylindric shape, topped by octahedron-esque differing in length to both sides. Smallfolk and civilian alike dubbed it a dagger. It seconds as a throwing knife. The longer tip of said octahedron had a sharp, cutting edge. It was as versatile as it was straight forward. An academy student had to train years to learn it's all-rounded nature. Genin and above honed and tempered their skill. A long and gruesome journey that all led to the same result. Perhaps even a kage would find little more words to describe this tool. This tool of utility. This tool of defense. Most importingly to a ninja - this tool of death. For some odd reason it felt familiar. He couldn't place it. He had heard stories of glorious fights. Of mortal combat. Of a struggle between individuals besting each other. Some fantasy of a knight in shining armor that reality replaced with a ninja in a blood-covered vest. What was this about ? This feeling ? This sensation ? Terror. Angst. Fear. He felt like he gulped as the word rolled off his tongue. "Fear." He repeated the word on his mind in a mere whisper. At this time, it was a huge, vast grass field. A plane of sorts ? The odd wildflower here and there piqued fault into the mass of green. Merely wind moving all weaker in it's wake. A light breeze would be the closest he could describe it as. Peace. Quiet piece. Time in steady progression. The scenery fell in place. The bigger picture manifested. A quiet, cutting sound in the air. Coming from a distance. He couldn't pinpoint it's origin. However he knew that it was wrong. It was an anomaly. Out of order. The scenery broke. Peace and quietness replaced themselves. As if a switch was flipped. His mind was on alert. Was this how shinobi felt ? How their senses was virtually on constant alert to notice these details ? The very wind could be an enemy now. The bigger picture broke. Only now, as everything seemed to fall in place. The puzzle solved itself. Time seemed to ... rewind. Marvelously. Only now at this moment could his mind comprehend what happened. He had been on the plane. He had stood where he imagined he would stand. Right at that spot, in this place, at this time. As part of the bigger picture, just to feel a dull push on his chest. A kunai. In the slight opening of his vest and shirt covered chest. Just between two ziplines. Blood sputtered forth. Pain kicked in. He didn't even recognize this pain. But to him it felt sheer endless. A quick analytic mind reconstructed what happened, just to flash this same scenario before his eyes. His breath stocked. His eyes widened. Bloodshot. He blinked. Once. Twice. He felt... comfortable. In a bed. A slight weight over his right leg. A celling. Light was absent and only Luna herself seemed to stare down through glass into what he finally recognized as his room. The second set of sensations his mind registered would be sweat. He had been sweating. His breath hedged and out of it. A dream. His mind replaying a fantasy. Of heroism of sorts. A nightmare. His mind twisting it into his end. Of his nigh end. He fell back on his bed and had to catch his breath. He was fine. Even if he did not even know - why did he feel like he wasn't? What was this dream? Estimated Time of Authoring: ~2 hours Authors Note: This is a bit of story telling and character development. I'm aware that a few elements are not fitting into our setting. This is mostly for me to set a direction I want to explore and may or may not have an influence on how I want my character to be.
  7. As a fellow DevOps Engineer myself, I am excited to hear about your tasks. With that I bid you welcome \o
  8. And as we discussed in Discord, here a more detailed rundown on the story. In total I do not dislike it. To be fair, it sounds like a fairly common background story. None too much out of the ordinary. The only thing I'd point out would be - why would the man suddenly take him up ? Maybe his own loneliness ? Maybe because he decided to be a paternal father of sorts ? Being a big brother that he never could be ? That's the only thing pretty much missing "why". However, that's pretty much the only point I'd bring up. The story sounds solid enough to me. I wonder how he'll play out as character, but the "foundation" (his background) is fine imo. ?
  9. See Title. I was able to create a thread with 119 letters. I assume the maximum is 128 characters per title. However, that's a bit much - you can easily reduce it by half to 64 characters. A title is supposed to be short, descriptive and self-explainatory for a thread. Example of how it's not done: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. But the thing is: It works. Therefore, I suggest limiting it to prevent unnecessary spamability.
  10. I want to like it. But the font kills it for me ? Not a fan. I'm not commenting content with that. Seems ok so far.
  11. Hello, I'd like to propose a template for the Ninja Info Cards board. The following is both the bbcode Template and how it looks (within Spoiler). Simply copying and pasting it into a post allows other players to copy it. This can be further enchanced and improved, but it's supposed to be a rough layout. Here is how it looks:
  12. Allow me to provide the approperiate reference to this: Needless to say, this speech may or may not be one of my highest valued, most referenced monologues to date. ?
  13. Is it time for Deus Vult intensifying just yet, Brother ? We shall get along just fine on this crusade, friend. \o
  14. I just enjoy me good "must-see" culture. Cheers. On a side note; I might have seniority over most of you - including, but not limited, to several staff members. I first was involved in Vlad's projects around 2014. I've known him ever since. Which makes me feel old. God darn it.
  15. Because if I am going to make an entrance, I might as well make an entrance worthwhile. This may or may not be my way to tell people that thread titles can be too darn long, too. I bid you welcome to this humble representation of my persona. Most of you know me as Ascathor, Ascathos, Thanathros, Rien(ix) or similar names that I've had over the time in the internet. While I reserve my right to talk about myself for a later date, let it be known that I've been a roleplayer for about 10 years and a wow modder (in multiple aspects, ranging from client to server side, interface, webservice, yatta yatta) for about 2/3 of that time. However, I fear the most common prospect that everyone knows me for would be my laugh in Voice. Can't have 'em all, eh ? Heya.
