Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
well the whole setting is planned on being a futureistic metropolis super city caught in a state of anarchial civil war because the government fears that mages could destroy what they view as a perfect world (which caused them to set up the Faceless to eliminate the threat) which didnt sit to well with the mages... or anyone else... i mean a group of trained killers that are above the law using the highest tech weaponary.
The thing thats stopping the mages from creating all the tech they need... is supplys.
Because governments are corrupt, they dish out all the REALLY high tech stuff to their own and the normal people have basically scrap and salvage.
Also the idea behind the mage's tech is that it is just scrap and salvage, admittedly scrap and salvage that works, but still scrap and salvage.
If you can figure out how to make a sound proof suit from random junk in a war torn megacity good on ya, but I doubt the mages who are really no one special, just normal people who have to hide because of some random coding in their DNA, they probabbly don't have the know how.I'm technically but I refuse to admit it!QuotesI'm an Artist!, If you want an Avatar just PM me your specifics - Avatar by Me!

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
I figured out that much, but you should realize that sound proof suits are clearly not as high-tech as magic amplifiers. It just doesnt make sense to have plenty of supplies for MADs but not nearly enough for vital lower-tech tools that would make you immune to the only weakness you have....
Just pointing out easy to abuse flaws in your plot

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
Well thats why I havn't yet started the plot, I'm still fine tuning it.
I just figured that a Gifted person with a MAD would be pretty powerful even if they only have one magical ability, and seing as they would need to consentrate I figured that the best way to beat one would be to break said consentration so I thought.
"Hmmm I high pitched frequency would do that..."
also I have a basic example of what a MAD might look like:

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
How about a plot with no planning at all? Just throwing caution to the wind and seeing what happens? I could dig a plot like that.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
By returning to the root of avatar royal battling, you mean "Random kills" as we call them? You know, drawing your avi killing someones else avi? Yeah, we still have that open for anyone who feels like drawing but don't have any particular idea
That's how the best plots start, go for it....though I'm bit worried that if everyone starts their own plots, there might not be enough active players with time and energy to post into every single one of them....it happened once....

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
A plotless plot?
Like, we all create characters, drop them into Avbaroy, and try to work something out? Present times, probably. If something develops, it develops. Maybe it could be like the early times of FFF, with tons of subplots and suchwhat.
Or maybe a plot about three fairly minor but formidable nations that oppose UNA rule. Underground races, maybe. Tunnels are fairly easy to draw. Ooh! Maybe kobolds (crippled by the Shades), svirfneblin and...Cave Landfish!*
It'd eventually end in them losing, of course, but it could be a fun downtime sort of thing. The main reason the nations don't fall, of course, is because they're underground, and mainly afterthoughts. This plot would prob'by be within the 15 years.
Oops. I just accidentally came up with a plot (albeit a short one)while trying to brainstorm ideas for a plotless plot. Sorry, I've no self-control.
*As morlocks are to humans, these creatures are to Landfish. Also, just kidding. Probably.
FAKE EDIT: My movement from plotless to plotfull makes much more sense if you're me. I'd envisioned the plotless comic being something like downtime between the 15 years, and then I came up with the above idea. Apologies.SpoilerGoblins chew and goblins bite,

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
Well, you can't actually have a continouing story without a plot, even if it changes every panel it would still have a plot for the individual panel. Wouldn't it?
Also, I think the kobolds are actually fairly big for a culture that has had barely anything to do with any plot. They have the nation that was down-trodden by the Moonelf empire and the exiled Goldunscael island from which Keveak originates (Is on the wiki and one or two comics, would be relevant in roughly three comics had FI continued) so a plot about them and similar cultures actually sounds pretty neat. ^_^

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
We already tried to make a plot where we planned to not plan anything ahead, but it didn't work out well, so now we don't plan on not planning anymore and we're planning comics as we go, making completely unplanned developments in the process of planning....
That sounds fairly railroaded if you ask me....expected outcomes doesn't work very well....

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
After a certain mysterious race which you guys will never guess, kobolds are my favorite race.
I'm thinking that the kobolds have excellence defenses, and great numbers, but when they were enslaved by the New Moon Elf Empire, some of their most powerful fortifications were destroyed.
Meanwhile, svirfneblin could have massive tunnel networks, and be extremely isolated. Maybe they also have a strong druidic element, though few of the druids are very powerful.
I'm working on my kobold template now.
/\ Yeah, but I figured you guys would prefer all resistance be gone by the time FI starts. Otherwise, it could mean confusion for those currently working on the comics.Last edited by Goblin Scribe; 2011-02-14 at 12:30 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
If you make this take place in Avbaroy then remember that there is a kobold island just reappearing after many hundred years of exile, their representative to the other nations being Keveak. It will have kobold samurai.
Who, of course, completely ignored any political logic and just joined the resistance and let the UNA be damned.
Which also answer you "/\" semi question, nope. They are around and in both resistance and UNA ranks. ^_^Treasured Quotes

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
*points at Fat Fish Fury*
Im not planning it out, I'm planning out background info.
The idea of the plot is basically Anarkistic War so it will have no story execpt what characters want to do!
All there will be is the basic:
"Faceless want to kill Mages"
"Mages want to live"
"Techanists want to make money building tech, me it MADs or Guns or whatever"
"Gangers wanna gang!"I'm technically but I refuse to admit it!QuotesI'm an Artist!, If you want an Avatar just PM me your specifics - Avatar by Me!

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
Hmm...so it's fairly open-ended. Could go both ways.
I was thinking it would take place in Avbaroy. It's about the UNA's conquering of the Underdark.
Or, at least, the Sort-of-Below-Dark.
I drew my idea of the kobold king. I'm having his hands glow so they can be seen. In-comic, he's casting a spell. Feel free to criticize.
A word on the shoes: My idea of kobolds is that bright colors are considered very exotic, and are extremely expensive. That explains the color. They're shaped weird because they're made of cloth and a substance similar to pumice, with the goal of making very little sound in the echoic tunnels (did I use that word right?).
I'm thinking they're custom wear in the Underdark, to help avoid the many bizarre predators. I'm sure there are a ton of problems with the design, though.Last edited by Goblin Scribe; 2011-02-14 at 04:30 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
I dunno if it's necessarily a matter of making something plotless, but just making it freeform enough that anyone can work their own ideas into the plot without feeling like their intruding or whatever. Obviously that ability to just throw whatever you like into the blender would lessen as the story starts to develop and grow, but that's just the way it goes.
FFF: R was sort of like that, but at the same time I think just being a reboot of FFF was kind of stifling in its own way. And, kinda like Skimmer said, I think actively trying to prevent planning might not have been the best way to go about making it freeform.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this really. Does any of that make sense?

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
I'm still kinda lacking on enough time to make comics purely for ABR, but I figured I'd drop by and offer a list of some of the interesting things Lying has accomplished in his near-seven centuries of living.
- Survived the genocide of Arcania
- Organised a global resistance front (The Exersus Resistance)
- Made a deal with an archdevil (Levistus)
- Raised two adopted daughters with his best friend (Maeter and Tala Minoblendy)
- Completed his education and study of magic to Archmage level, with continuous study going on throughout his life
- Developed the Exafts superweapon spell
- Organised the dismantling of the Moon Elf Empire (Battle of the Palace)
- Managed an underground global peacekeeping force for five centuries (Exersus)
- Travelled to other planets (Namely, Jannah)
- Encountered the Sovice gods in a (semi-)peaceful circumstance
- Assisted significantly in the destruction of an overdeity
- Opened a portal to the Plane of Incarnum
Lying started out as a young boy angry and devastated at the loss of his country, and became one of the most potent forces for good Avbaroy has ever seen by embodying its ideals.
So in seven centuries, I think he's done pretty well.
(9, 10, and 11 transpired in the same brief period of time, by the way, and he mostly kept it distracted whilst held prisoner)Last edited by Lyinginbedmon; 2011-02-16 at 07:39 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIV - "Go Go Power Lanterns!"
I take it you have a backstory comic.
So, I've posted the start of the new plot. It's--
AAAAH! NO! PUT DOWN THE AXE!
*After an amusing chase scene*
--It's focusing on the UNA conquest of the Underdark(or attempt thereof), as I said. If anybody is interested in entering (I think Keveak expressed interest), don't feel like I have any sort of authority. Because before now you guys were all, like, bowing down to me.
THAT WAS SELF-MOCKERY! PUT THE AXE BACK DOWN!
*Another amusing chase scene*
Anyways, what I mean is that if you feel like defining any one of the cultures--including the still-unnamed kobold nation--don't feel like you're messing up the plot. I know no more than anybody else here, and probably less. Plus, I lack the artistic skill to get any of my ideas across very well.
Oh, by the way. I'm thinking that svirfneblin, kobolds and cave flying landfish (or maybe flying cavefish?)are the three races. This is not any sort of final word. Besides kobolds, nothing's official. There may even be more than three main races involved.
Except no drow.
KIDDING! PUT DOWN THE DOUBLE SCIMITARS!
*Slightly repetitive chase scene*
I seem to be getting rather long-winded. I'm taking five paragraphs to say this: Do whatever you like with the plot. Besides what the first comics establish, nothing is yet canon.SpoilerGoblins chew and goblins bite,

So, I've gotten back into Inkscape again. I've done a few school projects using OOTS figures, so, if y'all will permit me, I think I might start asking question about OOTS art here again.
And then, possibly, post a comic. Maybe. Probably not.Dr, Bath's Dolly!

Ha! I'd make a similar list, but it'd depend on who is listing: Grayscale or myself. Grayscale is convinced he has, for instance, prevented at least five wars and saved the world twice by pulling the strings. In reality, a lot of his 'achievements' are ones he'd rather not be ascribed to him.
