Braghn'kus
X X X X Gender: Unknown
X X X X Occupation: Theif, Mercenary, Assassian
X X X X Speciality: Stealth, Death magics/potions
X X X X Goal(s): Discover how to use chemistry to turn any element to gold, find a poison that can be used on a blade for a death touch.
Background:
Enter Braghn'kus, mercenary for hire. Much of its past is shrouded in mystery, as well as itsidentity. Braghn'kus usually finds pleasure in two things: accumulating wealth and the art of killing in the shadows. While in terms of alignment it is neutral, it will do what needs to be done to achieve its goals. This will include killings, lying, stealing, and vanishing after it all without a trace. Braghn'kus tends to be a maverick, with no allegiance to any groups. It tends to wander between people or groups needing its services and disappearing after it is no longer profitable. Braghn'kus, in his childhood, was taken in by a chemist and taught the arts of mixing verious concotions. Not seeing how it was profitable, it concealed its identity and soon sought to learn the ways of the rogue assassins. Killing its chemistry master, the only one who knew its identity, it has been working for itself ever since. The only knowledges of chemistry it uses are those aiding in the art of killing in stealth. But, it also actively seeks concoctions to turn common items into gold or legendary poisons which can be applied to a blade to make it instantly kill any foe.

QUOTE(chuiu_os @ Feb 8 2005, 11:34 PM)
One character:
Is out in a mission with a friend, the objective is to re-capture a large shipment of goods(alchemy materials) for a country they work for. When this person's friend betrays them and takes the shipment "elsewhere".
The following missions are based on tracing where this previous trusted ally has gone and why. This leads to finding out that the enemy (in the ultimate objective) has been manipulating chemists all around to join his force of evil. And his previous ally was once one of them. This character then teams up with the newly formed allies (other players in game) to achieve the ultimate objective (stoping this force who is using chemists and their powers for evil).
I tried to keep the gender vague so that we can decide that later.

I liked this idea most out of the ones listed so far. It could definitely be expanded upon. For example, one player's initial mission would be to hijack this shipment aforementioned and redirect it. If they manage to take the shipment without dying, (by hiring mercenaries previously or by skill/micro) then they gain control and move it. If not, they would not lose but would return to their "master" whomever that may be, most likely an NPC trying to screw everyone who would give them another mission. One player out of each connection would have to win, either by delivering goods in the previous example or by being stopped. Could make for interesting end-game plot twists.
Anyway, the player would then have to avoid the person chasing him/her, who would be another character. This character could get minimap pings from taverns and etc. I'm not sure as of yet whether you wish to have characters goals be counter to the other players, so that they can have direct effects upon what the other players are trying to do? I also thought that the best possible way to do that system is to have a 5 player color/ally wheel. If anyone has played Magic the Gathering the idea is the same. Organize 5 players in a circle. The ones nearest to a given player are his allies, and the ones opposite to him are his enemies. This way each player has 2 allies and 2 enemies, and shares the goal of eliminating another player with each of his allies. This aspect of it adds much to the strategy aspect. In MTG, this works well and would certainly add to the "Good vs. Evil" system in most RPG's and questlike games. (LOTR for example.)
In any case, I'd definitely like to help with the ideas portion. I don't however like the idea of having each person develop a single character, because then the characters tend to become very linear and generic, each having little actual personality and character, along with all-important linkage with the other characters. This is just my input, if you are already full that's fine too.

An evil man who happens to collects rare items finds out about this and makes an offer to Aiden, Aiden refuses so the collecter leaves him alone but warns him that he is making a terrible mistake.

Way too many damned tragic storylines! Can anyone create an interesting story without someone dying or forgetting their past, or both? So far 3 thiefs, 2 fires, 1 who forgot his past, 1 whose master is missing, and none of them honestly captivating. To critique one in particular that struck me as rediculous, Artanis draws the short straw.
Ok sentence one... in a poor community what the hell can you steal to earn a living? Anything you steal would be for someone's self support, and would doubtfully be able to be resold for money. Second, why would there be a rare item near a poor community? Perhaps that I could understand worked into a plot, but it seems very odd. Also, his father knows he is a thief and is okay with it? Word is let out to the public in a poor community that they have a rare item ... to sell ... to poor people? Anyone foolish enough for that could not possibly have been a thief that remains alive for so long. Any kind of an offer is not good enough for a poor guy in slums? After being threatened, still no acceptance of offer? Okay, forgetting about that fact, he gets his house burnt down and sees his father get stabbed, and then most likely from you trail continues on the quest of those that completely
ed him over? Easily and without a single problem? I know people in older times were uneducated, but this thief is beyond ignorant and foolish, and I know 6 year olds that make more thought out life decisions. Hell those 6 year olds couldwrite more logical storylines than this. Artanis don't even try the "his father died and he wasn't thinking clearly" cliche either. After a death you mad be sad, but not even a dog won't run after a bus that ran over its mother.
