Re: The Seven Serpents

Behold (and Shroom, if I missed anything, just say so :)): Mister Li – The Serpent of South-East Asia “Imagine… Imagine that catlike face, imbued with all the cruel cunning of the entire Eastern race! That high brow, that giant intellect, the guttural voice. The face of Satan, sculpted in gold. The ...

Re: [RPG] OZW new main thread

"On the subject of piracy," the Hierarch suddenly spoke, "we are in agreement." His voice was a hoarse baritone. His eyes suddenly snapped back to the here-and-now. "Pirates often come to our islands, only to meet..." He glanced sideways at the seer for a moment, and so...

Unforeseen Consequences (rewritten)

As some of you may know I've been revising Unforeseen Consequences of late, culminating in a rewrite of pretty much the entire story, and reworking into a format that makes the fuckton of storylines significantly more manageable. So, what we have here is the beginning of the first Dossier of the new...

Re: The Seven Serpents

I really like the character (especially the backstory involving Napoleon! How cool!), but a friendship with Lord Caleb Belle, especially given her position as future Queen of France, is really, really dangerous. I know. I wanted to give the impression that she's a weakness of his - an old flame, so...

Re: The Seven Serpents

Still a bit rough, but it gets the point across: Vivian Saint-Blancat – The European Serpent Socialite, natural beauty, future queen of France, lady of the underworld. If ever there was an interesting set of dichotomies unified into a single person, Vivian Saint-Blancat surely must be it. Of all the...

Re: {General} Mad ideas

She'd definitely count the Seven Serpents among her rivals, though, and perhaps during an underworld war with the European or North American Serpent she could end up killing him... Only the North American Serpent is male (Walter Ironsides): the European one is female (Vivian Saint-Blancat). And I d...

Re: The Seven Serpents

Do the Serpent Rings give their owners any superpowers, or are they just badges of leadership? They're just badges of authority, although I wouldn't be surprised if they had nasty surprises inbuilt by individual Serpents - stuff like a poisoned dart for Mr. Li, or a digiweapon-analogue for Hank deB...

Third to enter was the Hierarch of Khybr Mir Hadad, leader of the strange theocratic archipelago from the remote Muted Ocean. And what a strange man he was! The Hierarch was dressed in robes of purple and red velvet. Around his neck he wore an ornately carved silver pendant in the shape of a peacock...

Will you be going with that Gaiman-style animal-gods thing (which I'm doing with some of my warlord dudes)? Perhaps, I'm not sure yet. It is an enticing idea, which I'm certainly going to consider, but I don't want the African Serpent to be too similar to this dude (now with a few added bits and pi...

To be honest, I don't actually know where he's from. He is dark skinned, but Major Stirling is black and from Manchester. I think it would probably be best that he is a competitor. Given how he is somewhat international, this would mean he wouldh ave to deal with several of the Rings. Sounds good t...

Re: The Seven Serpents

I now ask myself an important question: does the Boss have himself a Serpent Ring? Or is he opposed to the Seven Serpents? I imagine he's in the opposition to the syndicate, if only because the European spot is already taken, and wasn't the Boss from London? I don't recall precisely, if he's from S...

An idea that just surfaced was that she might've been an assistant district attorney when Mr. Peck took up his cape - cleaning the streets of Crowtalon City (or NYC) together, so to speak. She might as well end up in high places later on, in the SuperDep, perhaps after that serving as Attorney Gener...

If you're running Serpents based on continents, have you had ideas for the Australian, Antartican, and [insert fictional lost ancient city here] Serpents? I'd love to be a part of this.
