Multi-Room Martial Arts Movie Showdown (With Swords)

[Voldemort 723]

Looking for players interested in a storyline you’d see in old martial arts movies and various battle manga where the heroes travel from room to room, taking turns having one on one battles with various villains until they reach the boss. 

Currently, @Spooky Mittens is playing the opposition at each interval, while myself and @Damnatus will play two of the combatants facing off with the villains of the story. 

So, we’re looking for at least another combatant for the protagonist side. The player has to be interested in RPing non-powered sword/spear fights.

Also, we’re looking for non-combatants as well. While a fight ensues, the fighters not currently in combat along with any non-combatants will be interacting on the sidelines like they do in various battle manga. I don’t have a hard limit on the number of non-combatants, as long as it’s not a totally ridiculous number of people. Either way, we’ll just see who happens to be interested in a story hook like this. 
 

Combatants:

@Voldemort

@Damnatus

@Noko

Non-Combatants:

@Mystic_Lhoth ???

GM/Bad Guys/Swordude:

@Spooky Mittens

Love the concepts at play here! 

I think @Die Shize specifically would find the non-powered combat aspects interesting 

[Voldemort 723]

Thanks. Hopefully, Die is interested. 

[supernal 22146]

Don’t forget you can get an announcement for this one too!

[Voldemort 723]

Please, that would be tremendously helpful. 

[supernal 22146]

Gladly. If you wouldn’t mind just post about it here 

 

[Noko 1399]

Oh heck, I'll play.

[Voldemort 723]

We’d be happy to have you.

Which of the two roles would you like to fill?

[Noko 1399]

Sorry!  I should've provided this at the start.  I'll play a protagonist, if that works.

[Voldemort 723]

Combatant or non-combatant cuz all of the non-combat PCs are also part of the protagonist group? 

Also, no worries. I worded things in a confusing manner in my opener.

[Mystic_Lhoth 147]

Do we have a location in mind for this roleplay? Or is this going to be an Alternative off? I am interested either way, and would be willing to flesh out a new character either way.

Yes, also @Voldemort -- do you want sheets?  I was just going to roll a good old-fashioned martial artist with spear or sword, no sheet necessary.

@Mystic_Lhoth 

The story is taking place in a random town in Lagrimosa. As our characters arrive in town, they all learn that the town was recently taken over by an airship pirate crew who are pressing townspeople into service. In addition, the leader of the pirates (who is a wizard from the same tower/guild as my character) killed the town’s previous wizard, and the pirates took over the dead wizard’s tower. The tower will be the setting where the multiple rooms and opponents idea kicks in.

@Noko

Welcome aboard. I don’t need a sheet exactly, as you said powers won’t be featured much in this story. That said, if you guys can just tell me a bit about your characters, it’ll help when we decide how all of our characters arrived in town/how they’ll end up working together.

Combatant if available!

OOC I’m not available till later in da week but this does sound spiffy
