Just in the Reno parent board, yeah. We may or may not get a board for Nede, so for now just the parent board. If a sub-board is offered to me for Nede, we'll just transfer the threads over afterwards

Just fyi, Section 2 is still open for anyone interested. Also, just a heads up, but each section is in charge of creating and going through it's own threads. This isn't one big thread, it's a new "area." So in that same breath, I'd like for each thread to start by the end of the week. I'll have mine up sometime soon, though probably not until Friday. I'll try, but damn lol, more homework than i thought.

As she passed through the wormhole, a mixture of both pure light and pure darkness, there was something akin to a strong suction that pressed down hard on Lilith. It was as if she were trying to walk through a wall, so strong was the suction pushing her away from the wormhole. Then, with a large pop that broke every bone in Lilith's legs, she was thrown into the wormhole with ancient strength. The hole snapped shut, effectively locking Lilith in wherever she was. Even with her healing capabilities, the result wasn't instant, so the force chucked Lilith into the side wall where her body thumped against it before slumping to the ground. Ribs broken. Legs broken. Clavicle probably splintered. The black blood spilling into her still lips told Lilith her nose was probably broken as well. It would take a minute or two for her body to get back into fighting shape. Unfortunately, time wasn't on her side as multiple ghost-looking creatures steadily pawed their way toward her.

If you're the only candidate for a tower, you'll get it either way. The dice system is mainly to make the thread more fun and challenging, but it's really there for when people are fighting over a Tower. Not claiming one from an NPC lol So don't worry about it too much. If it's really unfun for you, you can just freeform it so long as the battles and triumphs are believable. I'm not overly picky since you're section is going uncontested lol

Mercury stood by Cerin, watching the necromancer do her thing. Part of the young vampire wanted to go help the Commander but a larger part knew that staying with Cerin was probably a better idea. Not because Cerin necessarily needed her help, but because whatever the trial the Commander had to go through in the cave was well behind her. Probably. Maybe. When Cerin lifted her skirt and walked into the water, Mercury laughed. Her clothes were alright soaked from falling into the water earlier, so she stripped down to the bare necessities and jumped into the water after Cerin. Pinching her nose out of habit from when she was human, Mercury dove head first into the deeper parts of water, making sure to purposefully splash the necromancer a little. There wasn't a a reason behind it. It was funny. Moving her arms in a fashion she was pretty sure was how they were supposed to move under water, Mercury gurgled incoherent words as she swam in the direction of a large fish. Shark? Aq... aquatiac? Aquatic? Yeah, aquatic fish thing.

Okay, so after going through a variety of available combat systems on Valucre, I've settled on the Terrenus Dice System (TDS) as being the best suited for Nede. It takes a little bit of reading, but since it as three different levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), you can adjust the rules to your preference. For the moment, this is what we'll be using for all threads taking over a Tower. Threads with one 1 Demon Lord Candidate: During your campaign to take over the Demon Tower, you need to defeat three Low Tier beings (grunts), one High Tier (demon second), and one Mega Tier (Demon Lord). You can roll for the Demons yourself. Since you have a minimum of 30 posts to do, that seems highly doable lol Threads with 2 or more Demon Lord Candidates: During your campaign to take over the Demon Tower, you must defeat the other Candidate(s), one High Tier (Demon Second), and one Mega Tier (Demon Lord). You can assign someone to roll for the Demons or have a third party do it. It's up to you. 30 post minimum, so doable unless you get super shitty rolls the entire time. If you hit 30 posts and haven't managed to defeat all the enemies, you can kill of the Demon Second early. Working together to beat the Demon Lord and then fighting each other is also allowed. Artifact/ Relic Rules: Most rules in Valucre don't include this, but since I was the one essentially driving the Valucre community to value artifacts and relics more, I like to put in this rule because it's incredibly important to the Valucre narrative imho If you're interested in getting an artifact/ relic because you don't have one: Terrenus Artifacts, Genesaris Artifacts/ Relic, Renovatio Relics These are the standard Artifact Rules that spread throughout Valucre. The important part that we'll be taking for this ruleset for our Demon Tower Campaigns and so on, is the artifact ranking system. The listed benefits do not stack. Class B -> Class A -> Class S Class B Artifact: You can either A) Inflict an additional 0.25 damage or B) Defend against 0.25 damage. Available every turn. Class A Artifact: You can either A) Inflict an additional 0.5 damage or B) Defend against 0.5 damage. Available every turn. Class S Artifact: You can either A) Inflict an additional 0.5 damage or B) Defend against 0.5 damage. Available every turn. +1 HP from the start. Multiple Artifact Rules: (Falling into these categories does not mean you lose the single effects above) 1) If your character has 1 artifact: Follow the rules listed above depending on the strength of you artifact/ relic. 2) If your character has 2 artifacts: Your character is classified as High Tier. 3) If your character has 3 artifacts: Your character is classified as Nova Tier. Important Note: Because RNG relies on your ability to roll, the more people you get to join you, the easier it will be. If you really want to do it solo, I can let you roll 2 times per turn. Let me know if you have any questions! I just dropped a bunch of stuff so lol

Just as an update, I believe this is where we are right now! @Vilhardt just read your character sheet 100% dope. Let me know if you want to elaborate a bit on the City of Abaddon. I can add it to the main lore article or you can make it its own article 😄

lol no worries! The Demon Lord moniker doesn't have to have a literal demon. You can be anywhere from hitler, to mother teresa, to some rando off the street. The title is Demon Lord because you are the Lord of the Demon Tower, but that's too long to say lol Also, fun fact you may have read in the lore article, the person who owns the Demon Tower is given almost infinite power over the land. Meaning that you can shape the land and control it however they'd like. It also allows you to draw hella power from the leylines and crystals at Nede's center. So the current Demon Lords are ridiculously strong for us to overthrow. Should be fun haha

Additional Note: you can breach this limit a bit if you have artifacts/ relics, but those you have to get from other places lol

With Infernal gone, section 2 has no Demon Candidates. If Kaane leave Section 2, it will have no Demon Seconds either. You can always have them be NPCs as necessary. So, Valucre follows a mild powers rule that we can't break. However, Nede jumps to the very limits of Mild Powers. What this means is that your absolute strongest, most powerful attack, should have the power to destroy a skyscraper

En is the name of a character, but the owner pulled out in an edit that I just saw now. I'll be replacing it with @Vilhardt character in a little bit. You can sign up to be a candidate in any section you desire. The more candidates though, the more people you have to "beat" to get the tower. As of this morning, Section 2 has 0 candidates though, so you may want to think about jumping on that lol

Also, I'm thinking about changing Demon Second to Demon Noble. What do you guys think?

Heya! So as it currently looks, Infernal just pulled out last second, so his section currently has no candidates. You could definitely sign up to be a candidate for his section and, if no one contests, well, you go uncontested lol And as for the development team, sure! I'm open to it, but let's see if you stick around for a bit first lol gotta show some a bit of consistency in Nede first ya feel? I look forward to seeing what you can do!

Rng lol Nope, technology is gucci wherever you go. And you could bring the whole thing there, but these demon Lord's have been around forever, so it's reasonable to believe they'd have a necessary defense up in case other demon Lords try to attack them. Going guns blazing with what has the power of a canon weapon is probably not the best idea lol since remember the tower is currently occupied by an NPC demon lord with power akin to a top level raid boss. So you could probably try to prevent people from traveling to Reno from there, but setting up a perimeter would spark the ire of all the current demon Lords lol
