[ ] Write-In

GM's Note: So, after reading Raian's ROTK quest on /tg/ and playing through ROTK X, I decided to start my own quest. However, given the fact that people of the time used Family Names, Given Names and Style Names, for my sanity I decided to forgo the Style Names. Sure Kong Ming, Mengde and Bofu might be well known, but doing this the hard way means both me and you guys have to remember so much more names.

This quest leans more heavily on the ROTK novel and the ROTK series of games, not Dynasty Warriors, so don't expect to even reach 1000+ kill count solo per battle. But some things like magic might be present.
A degree of metagaming is expected, just don't do outlandish things with it. Also, feel free to fire any questions at me.

Commander Who Guards The East
Known spells: Clear, Foggy

The effects of a spell will linger for 24 hours unless countered.

These were the rough radius-execution time that you manage to calculate.

Radius of 3 Yin (0.1KM, Area of 0.031 KM2​) - 1 Minute
Radius of 6 Yin (0.2KM, Area of 0.13 KM2​) - 4 Minute
Radius of 15 Yin (0.5KM, Area of 0.79 KM2​) -24 Minute
Radius of 2 Li (1KM, Area of 3.14KM2​) - 96 Minute
Radius of 4 Li (2KM, Area of 12.57KM2​) - 4 Hours 48 Minutes
Radius of 10 Li (5KM, Area of 78.57 KM2​) - 31 Hours 12 Minutes
Radius of 20 Li (10KM, Area of 314.16KM2​) - 4 Days 8 Hours 48 Minutes

Every additional caster will halve the casting time.
Example, for a radius of 10,000m, with 4 casters it is possible to execute in 8 Hours 3 Minutes.

However, only the methods needed for Clear days and Foggy days are available. The spell has a cooldown period of 6 Hours regardless of casting time and radius, so you can't rapidly cast it. Conflicting weather spells will cancel each other out.

Right, all done. You can post now.

On naming: In this Era, there is the family name, like, say Liu, and there is the given name, like Bei. Style names replace the given name in many social situations when one is 20 at the capping ceremony. For my sanity, style names are not used in this game.

I'm mainly aiming to have our character get involved in the major events as early as he can. As a noble, it's also easier for him to become a major player, while studying martial arts is going to let him win duels and capture generals much more easily.

@EmpirePlayer
Are you going to run this in the Rotk X sense in running just one "Officer" or are we going to be ruling a province?

I am planning for the quest to run one officer only.

... Is it still possible?

Nope. Sorry, the quest is based off ROTK and maybe a pinch of Dynasty Warriors.

Basically, I want to get involved in matters of import as soon as possible. The early start date and Noble origins play into that.

Join the Yellow Scarves and establish Heavenly Kingdom with the Way of Peace. HEAVEN!! Seriously, Zhang Jiao was actually fighting for a just cause but he was ahead of his time.
 
I don't really care for the joining the Yellow Turbans mainly because of its early start and the generally united China at the time. Once things get into full swing, we can climb and either make our own faction or coast along on someone else's.

@staplesdex2, where is that image from?

re thread: -Any- Birth Date?

Birth Date:
[x] 9,000,000,000 BCE.
[x] Gender? What does that matter?
[x] Names have no meaning, for we are the Immortal.
[x] We were not born.
[x] We were not taught.
[x] The year is 184 AD. Or whatever those mortals called it.
 
Join the Yellow Scarves and establish Heavenly Kingdom with the Way of Peace. HEAVEN!! Seriously, Zhang Jiao was actually fighting for a just cause but he was ahead of his time.


That and the fact that the Yellow Scarves/Turbans literally burnt, raped, pillaged and massacred. I will give a word of warning that Yellow Turbans might not be a good choice or it will be much harder, given the fact that after they lost, 500,000 rebels were put to death as an example. The yellow turbans were also disorganised, the soldiers of the faction are not very trained and have poor morale compared to the other possible factions.

Birth Date:
[x] 9,000,000,000 BCE.
