Yes, but I also intend her to be a wrecking ball of pain.

Unless size doesn't correlate to the ability to crush skulls.

I'm not sure?

@Kei
Any comment?

I don't mind pint-sized powerhouses. I'm taking on an anime-ish tone, after all. ^_^;

Magnificent

I'd almost want slightly tall, so that we can be a beanpole (relatively speaking). A tall tree.

You could say you'd want Neianne to be a bit of a twig.

So, short or super-short?

Alectai · Jul 24, 2016

Hmm, just regular short I think.

The Laurent · Jul 24, 2016

Actually!

Not important now, but...

@Kei

What is the difference between a Knight and a Lancer?

Well, don't forget to edit your vote then.

[x] Short.
[x] Straight and regal, waist-length.
[x] Red.
[x] Wholesome: Modest blouses, long skirts, and dresses iconic of the freeholder class in Caldrein.
[X] ...the second group of three, with the two humans and aseri.

Edit: Decided to change last line for who to sit with.

Apples and oranges? A knight is a social rank and a martial ideal, while a lancer is a type of combatant specializing in a certain type of weapon. ^_^;

If you meant to compare a fencer with a lancer: Lancers use polearms, which can range from lances to spears, some of the most versatile weapons on the continent, useful in duels but especially formation-fighting. Relative to spears, swords have shorter reach and power, but are typically faster, easier to handle, and particularly useful in urban close-quarters situations. ^_^;

Oh, I just meant, uh, this.

"In combat, dryads rely on strength and magecraft, and are thus often found as knights, lancers, and mages."

Oh, sorry, that's a bit of a mistake on my part (probably due to playing too much Fire Emblem). I'll go fix that. x_x

Okay, group choice...

[x] ...the second group of three, with the two humans and aseri.

The reasoning is that the large group might be a biiit too loud for our shy elf, the two-person groups didn't strike me as overly interested in a third and that the elves are probably not overly interested in company if they're sitting alone and I don't think Neianne would be terribly good at striking a conversation with them. Meanwhile, the second group is all freeholders, so they're in the same social strata as us and they waved us over when we entered, so we have an invitation and with ~~moe~~ shy being our personality choice, I think it'll be difficult to get into the other groups without that.

Mmm, yeah, I can see that.
Though I wouldn't mind some more practical clothing.

[x] Very short.
[x] Twintails, down to shoulder blades.
[x] Green.
[x] Dainty: Light sundresses, wispy shifts, and shift dresses, fashionable for the more maidenly.
[x] ...the first group of five, with the two elves, the two humans, and the talkative aseri.

Super tiny~

This is not a critical statement insomuch as it's an amused observation - I don't mind either way - but man, you guys have such a demure sense of fashion. XD

We're not going to be wearing regular clothing into combat dude. The Wholesome option isn't more practical than any of the others, it's just kinda boring lol

Kei · Jul 25, 2016

I was reluctant to post actual links to pictures unrelated to this quest in the thread itself, but I guess maybe I should make an OOC post and sort of give you an idea of what I mean by different "styles". Basically, here's wholesome, dainty, youthful, and stylish. ^_^;

Having read/watched Dagashi Kashi, I can assure you that wholesome styles have their own unique charm.

Mmhm.
Mmmhm.
Hrmmmm.
Hey, just to make sure, what kinda time period (Relative to our timeline, I guess) is this civilisation working with? Because when I said I wanted something more practical, I was thinking of something like, y'know, good, tough, jeans, a t-shirt and jacket, stuff like that, would that be possible?

Uh. Given the mentions of knights and lancers and archers and the social strata we could choose from and the castles, it's p obvious it's a medieval-renaissance fantasy setting...?
