Yay, Xana's been accepted! *twirls finger excitedly*

The more I think about it, though, the more I'm questioning how the whole hierarchy system with each of these factions. Would demons be forced to work directly underneath an archdemon who would give them orders, for example? Or would each character be allowed a certain amount of freedom to do what they wanted to do?

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Siryn on Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:19 pm

Each character would be allowed a certain amount of freedom. Demons won't take orders from Archdemons, and same for the Angels/Archangels, Exorcists/Meisters (a little bit different in aspect because they'll be taking orders from both the Angels and the Demon's higher ups) but it also depends on the situation too. So for example if one of the upper Angels orders an Archangel to give an order to an Angel, then they would have to follow it. But for the most part, all characters will take orders only from the NPC characters that are on the top of the food chain :)

>.> God I hope that made sense... I'm really terrible at explaining things. I guess an easier way to put it is, the passing of Orders from the top downwards :) That's about it for that.

If anyone has any other questions please feel free to ask either Igari or I here on OOC or via PM. :D

So NPC characters tell us what to do... That's good to know... But then, besides the number of powers they can control, what's the actual difference between Angel/Archangel, Demon/Archdemon, etc.? Or is it just a title and nothing more?

(Sorry, I'm just looking at things too in-depth for my own good--I do this sort of thing sometimes...)

No problem :) Aside from title, its basically how powerful they are, not just how many powers they control. For example, say an Angel can control two of their powers. An Archangel (for this purpose) controls two as well. The Angel's actual control over their power and how strong it is, is significantly different than an Archangels. The Archangel can outlast the Angel in a prolonged fight. And this goes for the Demon's/Archdemons as well. Also, as for control, the Archangel can manipulate their power much more effectively and easier than an Angel, they're adept as controlling how much energy (holy essence) they use when casting, thus they don't wear themselves out as fast as an Angel will.

Igari and I didn't really go into detail about this, but I'm pretty much basing it off of a 'Level' system. I hope that makes sense :) I'll be sending this to Igari too that we she knows all these details too :D If there are any changes/additions to it I'll be sure to let you know!

Hey guys! I sure hope you haven't forgot about me in the listing.

I'm working on an ArchDemon (Marethyu) as well as a Meister/Esquire (Balthazar)! All the general, basic info for Marethyu is done now--Iggy, could you accept Marethyu? Balthazar is still in the works, he'll be done very soon.

Thanks!

Mmhmm! I'll tell Qaida to update the list and accept... er... it... him... er... yeah... into the roleplay! //giggles Looking forward to seeing Balthazar, you are obligated to make him sexy because... actually, there is no obligation. The name is just a sexy one. So logically. You know. Just sayin'. Not that Qaida would go bat-shit happy insane over more hot guy characters. Just maybe~

OK, that being said, how does one rise through the ranks of this hierarchy? Is it merit-based, age-based, power-based, etc? Or are certain angels naturally born with more power than others and are born into the rank of Archangel? What would a demon have to do to become an Archdemon, or is there no way for anyone to rise through the ranks?

(More questions, I'm sorry D: )

Accepted your other character, Child~

Now for your questions, Icy. I'll be handling this round, mwahaha!

Think of it sort of like ascending tiers, if you must compare it to something. The best example I can give (one of which I love) is to compare it to an MMO. Most job classes begin at Tier I, however, upon gaining additional attributes, may very well soon evolve into Tier II, etc. etc. However, unlike an MMO, there is no such thing as "ascension of class" for the character. This only exists in abilities and only is applicable for classes that are above the base tier level.

For example, let's take an archdemon and a regular demon into account. Assuming both demons start with beginner stats in air manipulation. The lower-tier demon will only ever be able to master air to a certain degree, as in, their Tier I affiliation, whereas the archdemon can take that Tier I and transform it into a Tier II.

That being said, no one can ever rise through the ranks of the hierarchy. The station you are in is the station you will remain at--there are limits to everything. This is why statuses that are near God-Tier level are so rare and there are very few demons or angels that even have that association. I hope this answers your question :3

Hey so for those of use playing Exorcists. The following is the Exorcist symbol :) Hope you all like it!! :

Image

Also, I'm going to work on some symbols for Heaven's Angels and Hell's Demons :D You don't have to incorporate those into your characters profile, but for the Exorcists, you'll want to (at least have the symbol somewhere on the characters clothing :) )

That's it for now!!!! I'll go back through tomorrow and do a character inventory/update to see where we're at. I'm hoping that we can get this started soon!

Excited to see this get off the ground soon!

One question, though... You've gone into detail about getting the planes of the world, but nothing really about the world that everyone's inhabiting. Could you elaborate a bit on the setting where all of the action is taking place, or will that be cleared up in the first post?

Basically the setting is medieval like, a Fantasy world. We didn't really go into detail ourselves about places or anything like that. All I can say for sure though is that the Exorcists reside in a place underground, the Catacombs that were built underneath a ruined city.

Aside from that, the rest of the places haven't been created yet and I am more than willing to create some or if you guys want to create some that's totally cool too :) The places of this RP can also be created as we go along.

And Elegia is all accepted! She'll be going under "meisters", Qaida~ Ohhh, I loved the twist about her family member! Makes me wonder who this girl is really related to... Also, I'm going to be editing Virie's profile just slightly! I kind of might've forgotten something that was actually plot related in there... AKA Her summon. Er, I'll explain it there. :3 I'll let everyone know when it's all edited so that you can see~ :3 We're almost ready to start!

Alrighty! Well then ;) Just need one more Angel and I've got all the teams set. Butterfly should have that to use soon. In the meantime! I think we're good to start Igari.

The first posts are going to pretty long guys (only because we have a lot of background to cover and setting the stage type deal). There'll be I believe two posts, one from Igari and the other from me. After I've posted, its GAME ON guys!!! :D Everything should be ready to go tonight!!!

Get ready for lots of action and such ;) We will do our best to keep this fast paced and entertaining. xD

One more question (oh god, I'm full of 'em, aren't I?)

So there are teams of characters (one angel, one demon, one exorcist) working together, correct? If so, have some teams been pre-established, or are we sort of going to group together as the game goes on, or are people controlling NPCs for these teams, etc?

(or is Icy overthinking things again?)

It's fine, Icy--questions mean you are curious and really want to be involved so don't even worry about it!

We won't be working with NPC's for the teams, there is a reason we've been waiting to begin the RP. Butterfly will be submitting in one more character, an angel, which will complete the five teams that will be created in this roleplay. Now, as for how this is going to work. Qaida and I are currently deciding which groups would work best for the dynamics of the roleplay and will probably be posting up the potential trio's some time later today or tomorrow, depending on when we get Butterfly's other character.

The last part, pre-establishment. We're going to answer that question in our first few posts, really. It's fine to have questions but I promise a lot of them will be answered once we put up those posts. It will explain our setting, where potentially our characters would be (since I know there is the question how we are all going to meet) and how we will all be assembling. As I'm sure you've seen, some characters already know each other at this point. Even if we don't have everyone everyone by tomorrow, we will still be posting because no one will be put into a group tomorrow--we'll be doing at least one or two rounds of posting before that ends up happening.

A note to everyone! Finished updating Virie's profile so you're all free to take a look! You'll notice I altered her abilities section somewhat and there is a Familiar profile at the bottom that you should take a look at~ :D

We'll be getting the first few posts all ready and set for y'all so sit tight, buckle those seat belts and remember! Santa Claus is always watching :3
