AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

In order to make it easier for the players to see what kind of items (weapons, armor, etc) get approved and what sort of prices you're looking at, the team had an idea.

If you have a set of armor, a weapon, or anything else you paid for with DC's, I'd like you to PM me the stats and how much it cost you. This way, other players requesting similar items can have a guideline. This is much like we had with the DM requested items being on display, but we think actual player items made a lot more sense.

ALSO...if you send me a PM with your item powers and how much it cost you, you may leave both your name and the item's name completely anonymous.

Once I receive enough PM's, we'll compile the items into a sticky in the "Request" forum as a reference for players when making their own requests.

Again, I need only price, stats, and what the item is. If you don't want to remain anonymous that's ok too, but you certainly have it as an option.

Thanks in advance guys!!

Also, if someone has a cool approved special character and would like that to be posted for example (not for copypasting!), those are great help too!

Could always Pm my half-dragon request to you... where do you want it?

http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=41735

Some of them list DC prices.

Just PM me anything you think may help.

Staff is free to make my yuan-ti request public, as I dont have it anymore.

Sent a Pm containing this ..

Special Character's Info His name is Aluzuve, a Slim and lean youngling in his Twenties(20).
His haircolor ressembles the desert sand; it's thick and yellow.
He's just like any other durpari male, Slighly dark in skincolour, but with a itsy, bitsy difference.

All over the body, he has Orange/Yellow metallic scales; there are a majority of scales at his shoulders; His feet; and over his hands up to his elbows.
His eyes are not dark like the durpari's - The iris is actually glowing orange, and they ressemble reptilian eyes more than humanoid eyes.

And if that would't be enought, he has a pair of wings upon his back; they're metallic orange; with bits of lighter yellow down at the bottom.

Notably; He has very crude claws, anybody would realise that he has trouble holding a simple cup properly, since the claws are not proportional to the hands.

Furthermore, four stubs of horns stick out from his forehead. And in all honesty, he doesn't look very charming.

A basic rundown of the character's personality

Aluzuve is full of questions. Why is the water blue? Why does the birds sing? What is evil and what is good?
He finds the working of other creatures’ minds endlessly fascinating, and seeks to learn how they think, why they act the way they do, and the cultural aspects around them.

Beyond benign interest, however, Aluzuve enjoys manipulating the thoughts, Emotions, and actions of other creatures – Thought both magical and mundane means, to better or thought worse.
He is particularly interested in what makes creatures such as humanoids – Beings not born to evil the way demons or Chromatic dragons are, choose evil and embrace it so fully.
He has a history known to tempt such creatures to commit evil acts in order to learn what motivates them to abandon what they believe is the right path, and most commonly IS the right path.
As a result of this whole fascination, he is extremely forgiving of evil humanoids, thought he has no tolerance what so ever for creatures of utter evil, such as Fiends, Devils, Chromatic dragons and other 'By nature' evil beings.
His disgust for Blue Dragons is as strong as his dragon ancestors; but why he dislikes them is beyond his understanding.

He has the spirit of Adama, the overall acceptance towards other faerun gods as most Durpari possess, and goes along well with others. But do they go along well with him?
Not unlike a True Brass Dragon, His love for conversation has passed onto him. It's a form of hubris actually, he consider himself such a gifted conversationalist that he just cannot bear anybody to miss the benefit of his company.

brief notes (( I intend to play a character who loves to gossip, slander, dupe and trick others into doing what they might not plan to do. I want to flesh out other player characters by involving my own toon in their Rp, and hopefully cause some disturbance / Event / thoughts / Conflict / insight / doubt / and laughter.
I will force this character to be a talk-o-matic, obsessed in discussing everything in its most insignificant detail until either me or others get something out of it, hopefully other people will gain something before I do.
I want to debate life, death, honour, demise, fun, and sorrow with this toon.

I ask myself what a half-dragon would bring to Amia, and I believe that the answer would be – Joy and fun, for me and for others in the process.
Deeper thoughts would be that I myself, as a player, would have an excuse to talk about the deep things in life, and still stick to my character’s personality and racial ideology.
I, as a real person, Love to debate the multitude of the universe, or the microscopic entities that surround us. I am a lover of animals and the ecology, and would hopefully bring some of my personality into this character’s behaviour. All in all, A character that fits me mentally.))

Bio, in detail. + -Any relevant information about the race

Brass dragons are said to be the most gregarious of all the dragons, they are famous (others would say infamous) for their love of conversation. They are desert dwelling dragons, who rejoice in intense and dry heat, and spend most of its time basking in the sun. This is how Aluzuve came to be.

The nature of a brass dragon is to put up several spots where it can sunbath and trap unwary travellers in conversation, and just this happened upon Alazpraxion’s father one day as he ventured out of town.
He was trapped in seemingly endless chatter with a female Brass dragon, and enjoyed it so much that he returned to the same spot the next day, and the day after that. The dragon and the man became bonded together, evolving a strange kind of friendship with time. Aluzuve’s fathers frequently visited the old Brass Dragon’s territory, and kept the dragon up to date with the news around the land. But as time passed, Aluzuve’s father kept coming less frequent. This made the dragon worried.

You see, many Brass Dragons create vast networks of confidantes and informants, including all types of humanoids, Djinn, Sphinxes and various other races.
They use these networks to keep them up to date of local events, and to stay in remote communication with other Brass Dragons, because these dragons shun the company of its own kin.
But most importantly, they keep this network to always have an upper hand when confronting new sentient beings.
THEY must always be considered the smartest. For their gift to the world is their words; They simply have to inform and talk to every beeing they encounter to spread their greatness.

The old Brass thought that she had to find a way for him to stay; he was far too valuable in terms of gossip, she thought, and life was slightly dull around the desert. That's the world, Balanced. If you desire heat, you go to the desert, But the downside is that it's sparsely populated.
This is the reason Aluzuve’s came to be.

He was the bait.

Sadly, or luckily, her plot didn’t work out the way she intended, A child growing up without the love of it's parent, is a neglected child.

Aluzuve’s father died in a raid on the borders of Mulhrorand and Durpar. The tensions between the two empires had raised lately; especially slavers and bandits from the Mulhrorandi visited the lands far to frequently. He was killed little more than a year after the dragon laid her eggs.

To say that the dragon was angry is not to exaggerate.
She now had a child she didn’t want to keep, and why would she, a mighty dragon, keep such an abhorred thing around?
It was easy for her to decide the outcome; she would just get rid of it.
Fly away with it and drop it from a height, nobody would miss it.
But something stayed her hand… upon the birth she saw the resemblance in the child; and the old friend she had. She stayed her claw and shook her head.

The next best thing to do was to give him away, she thought.

So, Aluzuve’s life started, not in the clutches of his biological mother, but in the 'The Shining lands', a common name for “Durpar”, “Estagund”, “Ulgarth” and “Var”. He was promptly given away at the closest orphanage; and the dragon, disguised as some heartbroken teenager, never looked back.

It was here, in the shining lands, that Alazpraxion developed an obsession of other beings and their thoughts and ways. An obsession that eventually made him clash with the law of the empires, both Ulgarth's and Durpar's.
He was young, he was alone - And he craved for company. But because they shunned him so greatly, he promptly laid a spell on them, forcing them to stay around, forcing them to like him.

But at this time he was a teenager, and it's fully known that, at least human teenagers, have a lot of hormonal problems.
He grew wings; more and more scales appeared upon his body, the bump of a tail even presented itself.

This was the very reason for him to actually take up the sorcerous powers, and embrace much of the magical bloodline of a dragon, his affinity with the bloodline of dragons was strong; by natural reasons.
One growing wings at the age of fifteen(15) would't think otherwise than "I am the child of a Dragon!".

And; By bloodbirth comes bloodtraits. The same pride and arrogance as all dragons share, he now also shared. "Born by dragons, born by gods" - he used to say in his evergoing monologue with anybody that would have the joy, or misfortune, to walk into him.

Illusion is best served cold, and enchantment the best way to sway a lady. He was notorious of luring young damsel's to him, And his sorcerous powers in Illusion and Enchantment made them disregard his hideous appearance.
He could be 'oh' so charismatic, he would lark and flirt with them, but in the end he was nothing but a half-breed, shunned by everyone.
An outsider by nature.

Aluzuve was a fool, as many are at that age, when he studied the ways of the arcane.
He believed his draconic heritage would cheat his way thought life, granting him an easy way to wealth and fame and rich company.
Early experiments in enchantment and illusion magic misfired greatly one night, as he managed to persuade a young woman into taking her own life, convincing her that Torm, her deity, stood before her and had forsaken her. She hurled herself out of the window and fell to her death upon the street below.

Such is the ways of illusion, that if the mind does not disbelief what it sees; it will act accordingly to it.
(In short words; She failed both a willsave and a Fort save when she hit the ground)

Aluzuve was horrified; he never wanted it to go so far. . .

The habits of a Brass Dragon to deal with threats is to either flee the scene, or just talk its way out of trouble; And in times of actual treat, Brass dragons prefer to incapacitate an intruder or enemy; And Aluzuve behaved very similar. He attempted to talk his way out of the situation, this worked well until the father of the young suicide confronted him.

The streaming tears and the wail of agony from the suicide's father were too much to see. Aluzuve was tolerant of evil; but this confrontation was too much for him to bare, especially since he himself was the wrongdoer!
A greater instinct overwhelmed him, the instinct many brass dragons share; he fled the scene, the city, and the empire, and his former, unplanned, life.
He wandered the ‘Plains of Peaceful Dust’ for six(6) years; walking where his wits lead him.

He was now 21 years old.

When walking alone; unable to find a permanent place, it isnt odd that one would turn to jokes and songs at the pubs, just to feed yourself for the day.
Despite inheriting a dragon's ability to eat almost anything; he found it easier this way, and more pleasing.
The constant presence of other people suited him well, as he could satisfy his enormus apetite for smalltalk and gossip, monologue and debate.
Aluzuve made exelent progress as a writer and poet in the process. When one cannot talk; Sing. When one cannot Sing; Write! And when one can weave in the arts of enchantment, to dupe the audience, nothing really goes wrong, does it?

He basically had to much sparetime mostly.

Now you wonder, Dear reader – Why is he in Amia? To put it simple, he is not. He has found the isle of Khem; and it is only a matter of time before he will hear of the isle of Amia or the keep of wiltun and the strange portal from Nes’ek leading towards it. The rumors of the rebuilding of Wyrmhold might even reach his ears.

Information on your intentions with the character
((My goal would be to flesh out the character itself, and characters around him. I do believe I put less weight in how ‘my character’ develops, if I have the chance of helping another player’s toon develop or gain depth.
I see it fit that he would tamper with his inner demons, while he also would be the friendly neighbour dragon, which relish in debate and dramatic incidents.
Also, I wish to strive towards a ‘Hoarding’ behaviour most dragons present.
I also seek to make him the local -Gossiper-, and scholar, wich is manly why i request the Brass Dragon Aspect.

Finally, and most importantly – I desire to work as close to Perma-Death as possible. This means that I treat Assassination attempts, Dm events, or combat duels as possible ways to kill him PERMANENTLY.

:arrow:

And last, anything you want to say that hasn't been listed above already. Any further information we should know, or that you think would help us in our decision.

((I do believe the weight of my previous rule breakings will be taken into account when this request is made.
Also I want to say that I have my hopes up, and will happily alter and edit if the DM team see parts of the story as unfit, or inappropriate.)

I spy a very good method to make all these examples fit into small space!

Thanks everyone who sent their stuff. And more will fit in...

When i think of it ...prehaps i shall make a topic on the PC Story forum; And just send a link?

Oh, that's just as fine. We'll need to do some editing in any case, so they'll be copied from here/PMs to be worked with before posting.

Woot? Wait, what will you edit you said?

Probably the format, to make them all look alike to make a neat topic. Nothing crucial and no butchering, even if something should need to be shortened!

I'll help out... Once my request gets through that is. So if I'm to help YOU you need to help ME.

*Grins* Well anyway, joking aside... I'm all for it.

Thanks to all who have sent already you guys are fantastic. If you're comfortable sending the roleplay behind it along with the request that would be helpful as well.

If you can dig up my tailrequest; then feel free to post it. I don't have any extra since you kids removed it from public view... I find it hillarious!

In the case of the second item I sent (the Slashing Dispel) it is now a treatise in the Lore section and basically was a written summary of what Bryce did to arrive where he was.

In the case of the first item (The Arcane Aegis) I would have to dig the request up, or if you have it on the forums I consent to you releasing the post.

You can use my most recent request for Rras' visual changes if you want.

Feel free to use my recent item request for Marigold Hilll as well.

Doi, forgot it but if you can find the request for Tiasar Firran, please feel free to use him

Help US help YOU.
