I wanna do this SOOO bad...But, I'm afraid that I won't be here enough

As you are aware, my game addiction is pretty fierce, so I usually do find some way to make it in when it matters...And, I will do my very best to keep up with this one, but if I fall behind please understand that the baby truly does make things like this difficult much of the time...I kinda gotta do what Ash will allow, but that's not a complaint, it's just an explanation...My babies are more important than anything else :)


If you are creating characters, I'll give you some game info about us (most of which I'm sure you already know) :


Me: I'm always warrior, assassin or rogue (unless there's a zombie/undead class, which is rare, but awesome when it's available)...I stat for DD build, with strength/speed, even in a healer class (which pretty much makes me useless as a healer, but killer as a tank) :D...As for weapons, I never choose guns or long-range weapons, I use melee weapons up close and personal...daggers, whips, twin blades, or a two-handed battle axe (love the damage, but the slower attack speed sux), in that order...I don't like bludgeons as much, but in the absence of the aforementioned, I like them better than guns or bows...I also use poison and curse attacks.

Dustin: He used to always go necromancer, sorceror or summoner, but I guess he got tired of getting his ass kicked by me :D...Sooo, now he almost always goes warrior, assassin or rogue (warrior more than assassin, as he prefers strength over stealth or speed)...For weapons, his preferences are twin blades, daggers, or two-handed blade, battle axe or bludgeon...Like me, he avoids long-range weapons...He also uses poison and fire attacks (poison more than fire).

Alex: He only plays warrior...He stats full strength build, even to the detriment of his speed, health/protection, intelligence and everything else...Basicly, he's just a smashing/killing machine...He's an excellent tank, terrible strategist...His weapons are simple, and huge...Bludgeons - Two-handed hammers or clubs (only if no hammers are available), he also likes to pick things up and throw them (boulders, enemies, etcetera)...His elemental skills are always fire, earthquake/avalanche and lightning...And...He usually goofs around too much, and gets lost...lol


I hope this helps you to create our characters...Only if you WANTED any input, of course

OH...I almost forgot...Dustin and I would NEVER hesitate to pick up a chainsaw ;)

Dustin: "I'll kill with anything within my reach, as long as it's an up-close kill"

Will do V. Will do.

Very interesting. Thanks, Rayne.

Of course, all Class selections in the beginning will be randomised. But I ll keep that in mind. ;)

[_____V_____]

Just a reminder - the thread will be open for registration and randomisation of Classes and Races during this weekend. Depending upon responses, the thread will stay open till all Player Character (PC) slots are filled.

If you have a particular Class/Race in mind for yourself, go ahead and post it in this thread (like Rayne did). If you don't, you will be randomly picked and put in by me.

Rules and Guides will be posted next week. Keep an eye out for that.

And oh yes, I appoint Ferretchucker as Official Signature Maker for HDC Survival Crysis. Depending upon your Class/Race/Level/Strength etc., he will make an appropriate signature for you so that you can keep a tab on your exact position in Survival Crysis as it develops.

I am pretty excited about this. A TON of careful planning has gone into it and I hope I get enough favorable responses to carry it through to its successful conclusion and crown one of you - HDC CRYSIS SOLE SURVIVOR!

[_____V_____]

If you are curious about variants, I have kept them limited to 3 only. Its to avoid too much detail and intricacies and keep the whole thing more simpler.

Big thanks to Doc Faustus for his inputs in this part of Crysis.

The three variants everyone will start off with are - Race, Class & Attributes.

There is another variant, Level, which will be attained by progressing deeper and further into Crysis and will be wholly dependent on a) Choices made, and b) Roll of "luck".

Now the question is - how do we "roll" luck?

The answer - you...


ah...not so soon. Patience.

If you have any doubts or need clarification on anything posted in the last two replies to this thread, go ahead and I ll try to clear it up without disclosing too much.

This is a duty I am very happy to accept, thanks very much :D

As for my PC, my race would be White English but my class and attributes I will leave in your hands. ;)

You are welcome.

White English? Hmm...I think you might need to amend that once you see the ones listed.

The Official thread will be up on Sunday morning EST time, and open for registration.

I never played D&D. Or WOW. Or any other role-playing game. How do we choose Race, Class, and Attributes?

...

I'm pretty damn psyched about this, BTW! I'll try to be around more than I have been. :D

There are borrowed elements of D&D and WOW in Crysis, but its different from both of those. The choices you make and the rolling of "luck" determine how you fare in it.

And of course, your teammates and your enemies have a considerable hand in it too. Let's just say this for now - your advancing will depend on a lot of factors.

Wait till the official thread is open, then take it from there. You can choose Race and Class only. Attributes come according to the choices you make. Of course, all PCs start from Apprentice level and then move to 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, the highest level.

It all starts tomorrow morning. :cool:

[ferretchucker]

Wooo! This sounds great. I love the idea of the role playing aspect.
