Characters, Fourth Thread
1st post, [Baili Xi], posted on 2008-2-19 15:48:00 | Delete | Highlight
Recruiting characters: combat players, lifestyle players, NPCs.
Please avoid designing overly powerful characters, otherwise they're hard to manage.

Please add me, boss...
Player: Blood Knight
Class: Hook Scythe Lancer (special)
Skills: Basic Attack, Basic Defense (Intermediate)
Hook Scythe Formation (Cavalry nemesis, 70% attack bonus on first strike against mounted units, subsequent attacks 15% bonus, infantry bonus 5%)
Piercing effect: continuous bleeding to enemies, infantry slowed by 5%, cavalry slowed by 55%
Items: Hook Scythe Token (can lead Hook Scythe soldiers) – requires 45 soldiers
Hook Scythe Blueprint
Personality: A bit of a rogue, but not evil, very humorous. Naturally directionless. His class was acquired after being chased by a level 30 bear into a forest, got lost, and found a book on the corpse of an NPC.
Note: After emerging from the forest, wandered for a week before seeing a player – Autumn Waters – was captivated by her beauty and stuck around, joining Xiaobai Village. Because of his lecherous ways, Autumn Waters eventually tied him up and tossed him into the river. Since then, he hides whenever he sees her.

September Sky

NPC: Lu Yimu
Class: Merchant (Smuggler), Salt Dealer
Skills: Concealed Transport (Beginner, can carry items under 1000 lbs), Underground Trade (Intermediate: max 10,000 copper per month per location, no tax)
Caught during illegal deal, gains freedom by doing covert tasks for Xiaobai.
Salt: Condiment, used in restaurants. Supplying villagers increases loyalty.
Additionally, using salt when hunting monsters allows corpses to be turned into food (otherwise they rot quickly), solving food crises. However, salt is very expensive – ten times the cost of fishing. Xiaobai used two carts of confiscated salt from Lu Yimu to survive the first food crisis.

NPC: Mo family member (Mo Wen, alias Wind and Dust)
Class: Advanced Mechanic
Skills: Mechanic Arts, Mechanical Traps, Mechanical Beasts (may appear later)
Level: Author sets
Profile: Originally a member of the Mo family, after the suppression of scholars in Han dynasty, became an underground operative.

Discovered by Li Ah San, who told Xiaobai. Xiaobai, eager for talent, recruited him.
PS: The recruitment process, author can devise...
This character has strong ties among NPCs, backed by the Mo family, with great development potential.
10th post, [Book Friend 15317380], posted on 2008-2-20 7:19:31
Brother, I have a few things to discuss!
First: The inn is a bug... How can you make beef stir-fried with bamboo shoots when the village has no beef?
Second: Too many player characters... a maximum of 100 is already the limit! Otherwise, why recruit soldiers? Soldiers can’t be revived, healing potions must be crafted, leveling up requires...
Players can learn overpowered moves... so think carefully!
But there are good aspects, at least you haven’t gone overboard like some books where Zhao Yun and other generals appear right away...
Keep your own style! Of course, you can ignore my advice!
Continue writing as you see fit… Best to keep items rare, write a few more chapters, I’ll keep reading, if not, I’ll pay to be a VIP...
Best to have a climax soon... around chapter 7 or 8, have a downturn (for example, the main village attacked by several others, but relying on the protagonist’s background, starts over!), otherwise it’s too boring... Everyone wants ups and downs in games...

At this point, there should be someone skilled at horse breeding – a wandering horse herder!

Should be a quest reward from the court – a horse trainer: Military Horse Training (turns ordinary horses into warhorses!)

I’m joining too! Please add me, boss!
Character: Cold Moon Yama
Brief: Master was once NPC commander of Ma Chao’s Xiliang Cavalry, early player among few who could ride horses, later acquired a set of bound equipment by chance.

Values: Never harms the innocent. Hates bullying. Emphasizes objectivity and fairness.
Appearance: Uses Xiaobai Village inn as base, like a musician, a guest scholar, not under Xiaobai’s command. If Xiaobai makes mistakes, will point them out, but Xiaobai trusts him for his extreme objectivity. Always helps Xiaobai in key events, e.g., against Tiger-Leopard Village.
Greatest wish: Peace in the realm; to form 10 Death Gods named after each character in “Cold Moon Yama Shadow, Death God Hundred Slashes Return”.
Appearance: Fair skin, silver hair, neither handsome nor ugly...

3) Death Harvest: When charging enemy at max speed, high chance to crush enemy, blood and flesh flying, lowers morale of remaining enemies

Cold Moon Yama supplement...
Ps1: Cold Moon Yama’s Three Kingdoms idols: 1) Lü Bu (believes Lü Bu used the bitter meat stratagem to get close to Dong Zhuo and then killed him); 2) Zhao Yun
Ps2: For balance, at peak, the Death Gods under Cold Moon Yama number no more than 500, but he can command other units as well.
Ps3: Cold Moon Yama is very skilled with cavalry, and as an early cavalry player gets extra bonuses, adept at flanking attacks, complements Autumn Waters Elder’s frontal combat. Later becomes Xiaobai Village’s cavalry commander (or one of them).

Final supplement:
ps1: Cold Moon Yama’s Death God unit, later becomes one of the “Three King Cavalry” alongside Cao Cao’s Tiger-Leopard Cavalry and Lü Bu’s Red Cavalry, also known as: Lü Bu’s Red Cavalry, Xiaobai’s Flying Bones, Cao’s Beasts, Han’s Furrowed Brows. These three cavalry forces shake the empire. Cold Moon Yama gradually earns the title “Death God”.
Final supplement, will record further additions myself, may write a side story if time allows~

Here’s an antagonist faction:
Northern Desert Governorate (player-built city)
Leader: Pacify Barbarian Captain
Weapon: Nine-Dragon Halberd
Image: Often mistaken for a weapon carrier in his own ranks
Personality: Spouts righteousness, but cruel, bloodthirsty, cowardly, loves money, favorite phrases: “By imperial decree, all rebels must die!” and “Just wait, I’ll get my uncle, my uncle is Zhang Rang!”
Because of ties to NPC Zhang Rang, abundant funds, strong troops, personal fighting skills, intelligence, and skills are low, but the army is elite, relies on troops not generals.
Confidant: Ironblood Inspector
Weapon: Eight-Treasure Dragon-Lock Spear
Image: As cool as Dian Wei, has tiger general aura
Personality: Loves flattery, claims to be clever, always gives bad advice, surrenders immediately after defeat, tells all he knows, skills: can organize any troops, medium combat, low intelligence.
Boss, let me show up sometimes, as a mid-game buffer.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI, generals and strategists’ skills are very useful!!!

Yang Qiu: Followed Han Sui and Ma Chao in rebellion against Cao Cao, later fled to Anding, surrendered to Cao Cao, appointed General Who Suppresses Bandits, granted Marquis of Linjing.
Li Kan: Followed Han Sui and Ma Chao, died in battle.
Cheng Yi: Followed Han Sui and Ma Chao, died in battle.
Liang Xing: Followed Han Sui and Ma Chao, fled to Lantian, defeated by Xiahou Yuan.
Pick one with higher intelligence and charm to be a persuader!
I think the protagonist should focus on internal affairs development!

Long time since a book made me comment, please give me this character, boss~~~~. Above skills have low success at beginner, only 80% at ultimate, so not overpowered. Since there’s already sword qi, adding summon wind and rain is reasonable, since it’s an online game.
