Gǔn chōng rén: Roll to be Chow Yun-fat
« on: October 14, 2014, 03:26:03 am »

滚冲人: Roll to punch people

What is this?
An in-character RTD with a theme as if it was a chinese martial arts movie set in the 1750-ish. Think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or Hero. Your characters will not (initially) be able to run on water, stand on bamboo trees or jump 3 stories, but expect your powers to grow.

You are a ragtag band of outlaws (for one reason or the other), currently laying low in a tavern on the outskirts of the city of Haimen, planning your next move. Supplies are running low and your collective funds are dwindling, it's time for a big score.

Style of play
Be funny, not stupid. Try to stay in character, but this isn't a hardcore pen and paper RPG, it's an RTD. No mythical or historical player characters.

Prefered weapon: Dao. (The knife/sword type, though I wouldn't mind having two if it's allowed.)

Allowed! Your dao has automagically duplicated itself and you now have two.

Not a parody per se, more like a Jackie Chan movie, serious but with humour.

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Name: Yuan "Waster" Jie
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: a young, long-haired, bearded man with the look of a worthless drunk about him, hefting a ten foot wooden pole wherever he goes. Has a shifty face, too.
Tiny backstory: not actually a worthless drunk, he swears! And not a thief, either, if you'd believe that. His parents certainly didn't, and turned him out into the street after a particularly shameful coincidence. But it is on the street that he found this ten foot bamboo pole, and he's got a really good feeling about it for some reason.

Sun Wukong "Handsome Monkey King"
No. Be funny, not stupid.

Name: Yuan "Waster" Jie
Accepted, but a 10 foot pole will be cumbersome. Be warned.

Pobiega, do you not know about Journey to the West? Wukong is a real mythological figure. From china.

Name: Shao "Golden Plague" Zhou
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: A bald man in a golden-set of Shaolin Monk robes and shoes. Not actually a monk.
Tiny Backstory: At the age of 15, Shao's village was attacked by a gang of Portuguese pirates. He ran away and hid in the forest, returning a few days later to find it burned to the ground, his entire family having been murdered. Vowing revenge, he scoured the village for supplies, finding several items inside the ruins of a nearby Shaolin temple. He hunted down and slaughtered the pirates, killing everyone except for the infamous Captain Cortezeca, who has eluded him to this day.
His title is self-proclaimed after the disease that killed so many Europeans hundreds of years ago.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

That should not be used as a dump stat. Not to worry, I'll take it and save us all.

Name: Wúliáo Cǎo Diŕn "Sane Willow" (Name translates to Boring Meadow)
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Appearance: A bland bearded man in old and faded merchant clothes.
Tiny backstory: His merchant family kicked him out for pointing out what should have been obvious one time too many. With no money to his name, he was forced to learn to fight to survive, and ended up on the wrong side of the law due to unfortunate circumstance (and being ignored when he pointed out the plan was a terrible idea).

I know that he's a real mythical figure, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to play him. I realize this "rule" wasn't stated, so I edited into the mainpost. Please make a normal character if you still wish to play.

We'll start soon!

*Looks at player list*

Could've told me to make a new character, I'll edit it.

Done.
