Wizardry 8: Part 3 - Page 9!

edited June 2008 in Social Entropy++
So I've been in the mood for another LP. You know how these go so I won't bother with the technicalities.

We will be playing the wonderful Wizardry 8, the last, and sadly final game in the series of epic fantasy games. This one is particularly awesome because you create your own party and they are all fully voiced.

However, there's something I'd like from you, dear forumers. I don't want to just be stuck here posting by myself. Yes, I will make characters of a select few of you, BUT I also want you to comment on the updates which have your character... in character.

Make no sense? Basically I want you to tell me how your character feels about the goings on in the game. I want some honest-to-god forum interaction in this game for once.

But what kind of characters can you make? I'm glad you asked.

Here are your selectable races

And here are your selectable classes

Also, pick a personality, which will determine what your character sounds like. You can pick Aggressive, Chaotic, Kindly, Intellectual, Cunning, Laidback, Burly, Eccentric, and Loner.

Wizardry 8 Male Voices
Wizardry 8 Female Voices

There are two voices available for each personality and gender, so if two people want to be Chaotic then you will get one of each. I get to choose what voice you get, though.

I'll also need the character's full name and a nickname people would call him.

If you want to participate in this, please be willing to write up a short (seriously, one or two paragraphs would be fine) 'journal entry' or something after each update I make on what your character thinks of the adventure so far.

Edit: Okay since I can't seem to record the intro, here's the basic plot of the game:
A long time ago these dudes called The Cosmic Lords had three artifacts that they used to create the universe: The Astral Dominae (secret of life), The Chaos Moliri (secret of change), and the Destinae Dominus (all knowledge). They created the universe and then hid these things.

After a while, the magic failed and the artifacts became known, and along with that, a rumor began that if all three were found, then whoever found it can become gods. A dick called The Dark Savant found the Astral Dominae. The wookie ripoffs found the Chaos Moliri. And the Destinae Dominus was in a Monastery on the very first planet (Called, effectively enough, Dominus) that the Cosmic Lords created, but a guy named Marten stole it.

The characters are escorts to a Mook dude who tells them that his buddies found the Chaos Moliri and he's bringing the dudes along to Dominus for protection. Of course, when you're nearly to the planet the Dark Savant sees the ship and shoots it down, and you manage to survive, but are in a strange monastery.

The game actually has a bunch of different intros based on how you beat the last game and who you sided with. It's quite neat.

    I just realized this is a great character to leave someone with, but not a character I'd actually want to write.
