Words Beyond Time, a FE RP: Official Discussion Topic

You spoiled it for me!
Kidding, I read that part too. I believe Myrrh took over after him? Nice.

Also, Doug, in the picture, it had a bride or two leading to the village. I can't wait to get this started. It seems awesome!

Eh, I scanned the map pretty quickly, so I probably thought it was a bridge. My mistake then.

1. Sure, why not.
2. Obviously.

For the bike though, your guy will have to be pretty damn wealthy. As in, corrupt Councilman on Illaria's Council wealthy. Actually wait... I just had a brilliant idea. How would you like to be a fairly important villain, Cheese? If you're interested, you can PM me and I'll give you details.

But it would mean a commitment to the RP, and a fairly sizeable one. There would be several places where the RP would need to be placed on hold, if you don't have the time to write. I don't want this going the way of Austur and Sithis.

I would be really sad.

So this world will be based on the Sacred Stone land and lore but it takes place after the goat lord was defeated.

I really need to pay attention to the RP board. Didn't even know this existed.

He's still alive tho. Maybe he's afraid I'll flay him alive if he doesn't post in Nova.

It's all good, I'm not mad. It gives me time for other stuff.

Don't worry, this isn't forgotten. What do you mean 'Weapon Availability'? Do you mean Enertech in general, or specific weapons?

After tomorrow, I'll have a lot more time to plan.

I have indeed mentioned how widespread Enertech is, so I'll just list the specific Enertech weapons and their most common locations.

Energy Blades are common everywhere, basically. They have low power, but high usage and low energy recharge rates. They're also the most affordable of all Enertech, making them the standard equipment for most armies and such.

Energy Spears(Including Javelin and Great Lance variants) are primarily used by Illaria's armed forces, and are quite difficult to obtain by anyone else. They are expensive, and somewhat unwieldy, but they're extremely powerful and have efficient usage levels and recharge rates, making them very potent. Illaria has a near monopoly on Energy Spears, which is one of the things that makes them the military superpower they are. The other being blasters, cannons, and siege weapons.

Energy Blasters(Not pistols) are hand cannons wielded solely by Illaria's Shock Troops. They produce a high volume high density burst of supersonic energy. The blasters produce miniature sonicbooms when fired, giving them the name 'Boom Sticks'. The Shock Troops who use them are forced to wear special high grade ear plugs(They receive their orders via com links built into the ear pro), and because of this, civilians often refer to them as the Big Ears.

Energy Cannons: Extremely large and unwieldy machines of mass destruction. They require massive amounts of Energy to power, and have extremely long charge times. Because of this, Energy Cannons are always escorted in battle by a platoon of Elite Guards known as Cannoneers. Cannoneers are virtually human tanks, sporting the best armor in they army, and they often wield massive Energy Spears called Great Lances.

Siege Engines(Catapults, Battering Rams, Siege Towers, etc): These are pretty self explanatory. Catapults basically use bombs(Iron and steel shells containing volatile energy), but most of the other siege engines are normal stuff. They are employed by most militaries, not just Illaria.

Dragonfire: A special Energy Cannon that doubles as a Siege Engine and Battering Ram. It is used solely by the Manzel Theocracy, and the Elite Guard of General Phoenix himself. It is only ever used in defense of Highborne, should the capitol city be attacked, but the destruction capabilities of the weapon are unparalleled. A single blast of Dragonfire can level a mountain.

Mythril Weapons: Mythril weapons are normal weapons, such as Iron and Silver Lances, that have been reforged and tempered with Mythril, using a special process known only to the Master Smiths of Highborne. Aside from the Dragonfire, the Manzel Theocracy rarely uses any Energy Weapons. Instead, they use their favored Mythril weapons. These weapons are much stronger and more durable than their normal counterparts, but their true strength lies in their unique ability to conduct and disrupt Energy. Mythril possesses the capacity to 'ground' Energy when refined, rendering most forms of Enertech useless. While a Mythril Spear obviously couldn't diffuse a blast from a Blaster or Cannon, it can slice through most Enertech armor with ease and render smaller blasts, like those of a pistol, useless. It is for this reason Mythril weapons are commonly known as 'Anti-Energy', or 'Anima'.

The armor of General Phoenix is rumored to be a fusion of high grade Enertech and the purest Mythril ever forged, though it is unknown how this could be possible, when Enertech and Anima repel each other like Protons and Neutrons. Regardless, General Phoenix can withstand even a blast from a Cannon. It is because of these factors that the Manzel Theocracy has remained unchallenged for so long. The last skirmish between Manzel and Illaria was almost two hundred years before the current time, and it almost brought Illaria to the brink of collapse. The two nations have endured a shaky truce ever since.

Energy Axes are basically a poor substitute for Energy Spears. They have similar strength and power to Spears, sometimes even more, but they are unwieldy and very inefficient. They have very low recharge rates, meaning they have to be charged often, and aren't very cost effective, despite being cheaper and more available than most Enertech. As such, they are usually wielded by ruffians and gangs.

Energy Pistols are common to Cail and its Merchant States, but very rare elsewhere. Energy Bows are the primary Enertech found in Laylia, though they are mostly used by the nation's small military. Some Hunters and Nomads have them as well. Energy Bows are also prevalent in Dirk and Veynar.

Energy Shields and other armor are mostly used by Illaria.

Normal Weapons(Such as Iron, Steel etc) can be found almost everywhere. Since the common populace does not have easy access to Enertech or Anima, this is still what they use.

There are a total of 12 Legendary Weapons scattered across the world. These weapons possess a latent power greater than even the strongest Enertech. Once a Legendary Weapon has been claimed, it bonds with its wielder, and can only be wielded by that person from then on. While some of the old Sacred Twins remain, most have been changed or lost over the years.

Legendary Weapons

Sieglinde(Sword)
Siegmund(Spear)
Enuma(Sword)
Aonir(Bow)
Givalde(Axe)
Naglfar(Dark Tome)
Ultima(Light Tome)
Fafnir(Spear)
Starlight(Light Tome)
Imhullu(Dark Tome)
Garm(Axe)
Nidhogg(Bow)

Imhullu does not make you completely invincible in this, but it offers protection beyond that of any Enertech or Mythril armor. However, it is used by one of the Main Villains, and cannot be acquired by any player until said villain is dealt with in the story. Afterwards, the Imhullu will vanish into one of five possible dungeons. Then it is fair game. If you can find it, that is. Starlight is also story locked, but after a certain event, it will vanish as well and become available to the players. However, you need one of the Great Dragon twins in your party, either Myrrh or Salech, to find Starlight. Myrrh and Salech cannot wield Starlight themselves though. All the other Legendary Weapons can be found at any time, though each have a specific dungeon. At the end of those dungeons, you will be forced to fight an extremely powerful cameo boss. The boss depends on the weapon.

I think that about covers it.
